【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:—— 共同的习俗和传统可以起到连接过去和现在的桥梁作用。—— 没错。它们帮助我们生活在现代的同时理解我们的根源。
wall墙;mirror镜子;distance距离;bridge桥梁。根据“between the past and the present”及答语可知,习俗和传统充当过去与现在的桥梁,bridge符合语境。
2. — You look tired. You ________ have stayed up late last night.
— Yes. I was preparing for the speech competition.
A. can B. must C. would D. need
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你看起来很累。昨晚你一定熬夜了。——是的。我在准备演讲比赛。
can能;must一定;would将会;need需要。根据“You look tired”可知是依据现状对过去发生的事情进行肯定推测,需用“must have done”结构,表示“一定做过某事”。故选B。
3. —________ is it from your home to the nearest subway station?
— About a ten-minute walk.
A. How often B. How far C. How long D. How soon
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——从你家到最近的地铁站有多远?——大约十分钟的步行路程。
How often多久一次;How far多远;How long多久,多长;How soon多久以后。根据回答“About a ten-minute walk.”可知,此处是对距离进行提问,应用How far。
4. In order to protect the environment, more and more people ________ using reusable bags.
A. give up B. put up C. take up D. get up
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了保护环境,越来越多的人开始使用可重复使用的袋子。

A. makes B. made C. is made D. was made
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这蛋糕尝起来真不错。谁做的?——它是由我的奶奶做的。她擅长烘焙。
主语It指代蛋糕,与make之间是被动关系,需用被动语态be done结构,根据语境,蛋糕是过去做好的,动作发生在过去,需用一般过去时,应填was made。
6. By the time I got to the cinema, the movie ________ for about ten minutes.
A. has begun B. has been on C. had begun D. had been on
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我到达电影院时,电影已经上映大约十分钟了。考查过去完成时和延续性动词的用法。
“By the time ”为完成时的标志,从句的动作发生在过去,那么主句的动作应发生在过去的过去,即用过去完成时,排除选项A和选项B;根据“for about ten minutes”可知动词需用延续性动词,begin是瞬间动词,不能与时间段连用,be on是延续性状态。应填had been on。
7. You should learn to make decisions by yourself. Don’t always ________ your parents.
A. depend on B. come on C. turn on D. put on
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:你应该学会自己做决定。不要总是依赖你的父母。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——我想知道我们明天是否会去科学博物馆。——如果不下雨,我们就去那里。
根据第一句时间状语“tomorrow”可知,if引导宾语从句,应使用一般将来时will go;第二句中if引导条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,且表示否定含义“如果不下雨”,故用doesn’t。
9. — Do you know ________?
— Next Friday. We will have a three-day holiday.
A. when we will have the sports meeting B. when will we have the sports meeting
C. where we will have the sports meeting D. where will we have the sports meeting
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你知道我们什么时候开运动会吗?——下周五。我们将有三天的假期。

前文提到作者不擅长英语、发音差,这里讲作者学习英语的问题,因此“经常忘单词”,应填forgot。remembered“记得”、understood“理解”、repeated“重复”不符合语境。
【12题详解】
句意:一些同学嘲笑我。固定搭配laugh at sb.意为“嘲笑某人”,作者读英语犯了很多错,同学嘲笑他,才会让作者羞愧想放弃,应填laughed。shouted“喊叫”、pointed“指”、looked“看”语意不通。
【13题详解】
句意:她没有惩罚我。
根据转折词Instead可知,老师没有因为作者犯错惩罚他,反而温柔开导他,应填punish“惩罚”。praise“表扬”、help“帮助”、refuse“拒绝”不符合逻辑。
【14题详解】
句意:那就是我们学习的方式。
老师表达的是“不要害怕犯错,我们就是在犯错中学习的”,符合学习的规律,应填learn“学习”。teach“教”、play“玩”、work“工作”不符合教育语境。
【15题详解】
句意:她也鼓励我听英文歌、看英文电影。

【16题详解】
句意:我决定遵循她的建议。
此处表达作者决定按老师的方法练习,固定搭配follow one’s advice意为“听从某人的建议”,应填follow。refuse“拒绝”、break“打破”、doubt“怀疑”与后文矛盾。
【17题详解】
句意:英语不像我想的那么难。
根据上下文,作者坚持练习后,发现英语并没有自己原本想的那么难,应填difficult“困难的”。useful“有用的”、boring“无聊的”、interesting“有趣的”不符合前后对比逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:当我结束演讲时,全班鼓掌。
作者认真练习后完成演讲,表现出色,因此全班为他鼓掌,应填clapped“鼓掌”。cried“哭”、left“离开”、talked“谈话”不符合语境。
【19题详解】
句意:努力会有回报。
根据上下文,此处表示作者靠努力取得进步,Hard work pays off是常用表达,意为“努力终有回报”,应填pays off“得到回报”。runs out“用完”、goes off“离开”、breaks down坏掉”语意不符。
【20题详解】
句意:我们总能克服弱点。
此处表达“只要不放弃,我们总能克服自身弱点”,应填overcome“克服”搭配weaknesses“弱点”符合句意。hide“隐藏”、show“展示”、create“创造”不符合积极导向。

Do you often use a shared bike? In many Chinese cities, shared bikes have become a popular way to get around. They are cheap, green and convenient (方便的). You can unlock a bike by scanning (扫描) a QR code with your phone and leave it anywhere when you finish riding.
However, shared bikes also bring some problems. Some people park them in the middle of the road or even throw them into rivers. Others break the QR codes or lock the bikes with their own locks. These bad behaviours cause trouble for other users and the bike-sharing companies.
To solve these problems, many cities have taken actions. In Beijing, special parking areas for shared bikes have been set up. If you don’t park the bike in the right area, you may have to pay an extra fee. Some cities have also made rules to punish people who damage the bikes.
As users, we should also do our part. We should park shared bikes properly and treat them with care. After all, shared bikes are there to make our life easier. Let’s work together to keep this green way of traveling.
39. What can we infer about people who park shared bikes in the middle of the road?
A. They don’t know how to ride bikes.
B. They don’t care about others’ convenience.
C. They want to save parking fees.
D. They prefer walking to riding.
40. What does the underlined word “behaviours” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Ways of riding bikes.
B. Actions that cause problems.
C. Rules made by the government.
D. Suggestions from users.
41. What is the author’s attitude towards shared bikes?
A. He thinks they should be banned.
B. He supports them but calls for proper use.
C. He believes they are too expensive.
D. He thinks they are only for young people.
【答案】39. B 40. B 41. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了共享单车在城市中的普及情况、带来的便利,同时也指出了乱停乱放、恶意破坏等问题,最后呼吁用户规范使用、爱护共享单车。
【39题详解】
根据第二段中提到“Some people park them in the middle of the road... These bad behaviors cause trouble for other users”可知,把共享单车停在路中间会给其他用户带来麻烦,由此可推断这些人不在乎他人的便利。
【40题详解】
根据第二段前文列举的“park them in the middle of the road”、“throw them into rivers”、“break the QR codes”等具体行为,随后用“These bad behaviours”来指代它们,这些都是给其他用户和平台带来麻烦的不当行为。
【41题详解】
根据第一段提到的“cheap, green and convenient”以及最后一段“shared bikes are there to make our life easier”,可知作者支持共享单车;同时最后一段呼吁“We should park shared bikes properly and treat them with care”,体现了支持共享单车、但倡导合理使用的态度。
C
Every year, millions of birds migrate (迁徙) from one place to another. They fly thousands of kilometers to find food or better weather. But migration is not easy. Many birds die during the journey because of bad weather, lack of food, or human activities.
One of the biggest dangers to migrating birds is light pollution. Tall buildings with bright lights at night can confuse birds. Birds use stars to find their way. When they see bright city lights, they may fly toward them and crash into buildings. Scientists say that in the United States alone, up to one billion birds die each year from crashing into buildings.
To help birds, some cities have started “Lights Out” programs. During migration seasons, they ask building owners to turn off unnecessary lights at night. New York City’s program has reduced bird deaths by 60% in some areas.
People can also help in other ways. You can put stickers on your windows so birds can see the glass. You can also keep your cat inside during migration seasons, as cats kill many birds.
Every small action can make a big difference. By working together, we can help birds complete their long and dangerous journey safely.
42. Why do birds migrate according to the text?
A. To find better places to build nests.
B. To look for food or good weather.
C. To avoid being caught by humans.
D. To follow other birds.
43. How does light pollution harm migrating birds?
A. It makes them lose their way and crash into buildings.
B. It makes them too hot to fly.
C. It stops them from finding water.
D. It scares them away.
44. What can we learn from the “Lights Out” program?
A. It has completely solved the problem.
B. It is only effective in New York City.
C. It has helped reduce bird deaths.
D. It requires people to keep cats inside.
45. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To summarize the dangers birds face. B. To encourage everyone to take action.
C. To introduce new ways to help birds. D. To criticize people who harm birds.
【答案】42. B 43. A 44. C 45. B

In recent years, “forest bathing” has become a popular way to relax. But it has nothing to do with taking a bath in the forest. Forest bathing means spending time in a forest, using all your senses to experience nature.
The idea came from Japan in the 1980s. In Japanese, it is called “Shinrin-yoku”. Studies have shown that forest bathing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve your mood. When you walk slowly in the forest, you breathe in phytoncides — special oils that trees give off. These oils can help your body fight illness.
Unlike hiking, forest bathing is not about exercise or reaching a destination (目标). It’s about being present in nature. You might sit quietly and listen to the leaves, touch the tree bark (树皮), or smell the flowers. You don’t need to go far. Even a small park or a garden can work.
Experts suggest doing forest bathing for at least two hours each time. But if you are busy, even 20 minutes in a green space can help. Put your phone away and just enjoy being outside.
So next time you feel stressed, try visiting a park. You don’t need any special equipment (设备) — just yourself and an open mind.
46. What is “forest bathing”?
A. Taking a bath in a forest pool.
B. Exercising hard in the forest.
C. Experiencing nature with all your senses.
D. Collecting special oils from trees.
47. What is the difference between forest bathing and hiking?
A. Hiking is more relaxing.
B. Forest bathing does not need a destination or exercise.
C. Hiking is better for health.
D. Forest bathing can only be done in Japan.
48. What does the author imply by saying “You don’t need to go far” in Paragraph 3?
A. Forest bathing can only be done in big forests.
B. You can practice forest bathing in nearby green spaces.
C. Walking too far is bad for your health.
D. Forest bathing requires special training.
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了“森林浴”这一源于日本的放松方式,强调通过感官体验自然,有助于减压和健康,且不需要远行,小公园即可实践。

Do you often find yourself saying, “ I’ll start studying tomorrow?” If so, you are not alone. Procrastination—the act of delaying (延迟) things—is a common problem among students.
But why do we procrastinate? Scientists have found that when we face a task we don’t enjoy, the brain feels pain. To stop that pain, the brain looks for something more pleasant, like watching videos or checking social media. This is not laziness. It is how our brains are wired.
The good news is that procrastination can be beaten. Here are three methods that work:
Method 1: The 5-Minute Rule—Tell yourself you will work on the task for just five minutes. After five minutes, you can stop. Most of the time, you will keep going because starting is the hardest part.
Method 2: Break It Down—Big tasks feel scary. Break a big task into small, easy steps. Instead of “write a 1,000-word essay”, start with “write three sentences”.
Method 3: Remove Temptations (诱惑)—Put your phone in another room. Turn off notifications (通知). Make it hard to do anything except your work.
49. According to the text, why do people procrastinate?
A. Because they are lazy.
B. Because their brain tries to avoid pain.
C. Because they have too much time.
D. Because they don’t know how to start.
50. What is the “5-Minute Rule”?
A. Work for five minutes and then stop forever.
B. Work for five minutes and then take a long break.
C. Start by working for just five minutes.
D. Only work on tasks that take five minutes.
51. What does the author suggest doing with a big task?
A. Leaving it for later.
B. Asking someone else to do it.
C. Breaking it into smaller steps.
D. Doing it all at once.
52. Why does the author say “This is not laziness” in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain that procrastination is a choice.
B. To correct a common misunderstanding about procrastination.
C. To prove that lazy people never procrastinate.
D. To show that procrastination is impossible to change.
【答案】49. B 50. C 51. C 52. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了拖延症这一学生中常见的问题,解释了拖延症产生的科学原因,并提供了三种克服拖延症的实用方法。
【49题详解】
根据文章第二段中“...when we face a task we don’t enjoy, the brain feels pain. To stop that pain, the brain looks for something more pleasant...”可知,科学家发现拖延是因为大脑面对不喜欢的任务时会感到痛苦,从而寻求避免这种痛苦,而非因为懒惰。
【50题详解】
根据Method 1中的描述“Tell yourself you will work on the task for just five minutes.”可知,“5分钟规则”是指告诉自己,你只需要为这项任务工作五分钟,目的是克服开始做事的困难,大多数时候会继续做下去。
【51题详解】
根据Method 2中的建议“Break a big task into small, easy steps.”可知,作者建议将大任务分解成小的、容易的步骤来完成,而不是留到以后或一次性做完。
【52题详解】
根据文章第二段中“This is not laziness. It is how our brains are wired.”,作者强调拖延是大脑的机制而非性格上的懒惰,意在纠正人们通常认为“拖延就是懒惰”这一常见误解。

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
Do you know that your brain can change and grow? This ability is called “neuroplasticity”. For a long time, scientists thought that the adult brain could not change. But now we know that the brain can create new connections between cells at any age.
When you learn something new, like playing the guitar or speaking a language, your brain builds new pathways. The more you practice, the stronger these pathways become. That’s why practice really makes perfect.
Even if you are not good at something at first, your brain can get better with effort. This is called a “growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset believe they can improve through hard work. They are not afraid of challenges or mistakes.
On the other hand, people with a “fixed mindset” think their abilities are set and cannot change. They may give up easily when they face difficulties.
The good news is that you can change your mindset. Next time you say “I can’t do this,” try adding the word “yet”: “I can’t do this yet.” That small word opens the door to growth.
53. What did scientists used to believe about the adult brain? (不超过15个词)
____________________
54. What do people with a growth mindset believe? (不超过15个词)
____________________
55. What should you say to yourself if you want to develop a growth mindset? (不超过5个词)
____________________
【答案】53. They thought it could not change.
54. They can improve through hard work.
55. I can’t do this yet.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍大脑的神经可塑性,对比成长型思维与固定型思维,并告诉读者如何培养成长型思维。

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your letter. I’m glad to tell you about my life before the Senior High School Entrance Examination.
Nowadays, I am busy preparing for the important exam. I spend about ten hours studying every day, reviewing all subjects like math and English carefully. Although I feel stressed, I have effective ways to relax. Firstly, I often play basketball with my classmates after school. It helps me build a strong body and clear my mind. Secondly, listening to light music makes me feel peaceful and happy. Sometimes I also talk to my parents or friends.

Do you often use a shared bike? In many Chinese cities, shared bikes have become a popular way to get around. They are cheap, green and convenient (方便的). You can unlock a bike by scanning (扫描) a QR code with your phone and leave it anywhere when you finish riding.
However, shared bikes also bring some problems. Some people park them in the middle of the road or even throw them into rivers. Others break the QR codes or lock the bikes with their own locks. These bad behaviours cause trouble for other users and the bike-sharing companies.
To solve these problems, many cities have taken actions. In Beijing, special parking areas for shared bikes have been set up. If you don’t park the bike in the right area, you may have to pay an extra fee. Some cities have also made rules to punish people who damage the bikes.
As users, we should also do our part. We should park shared bikes properly and treat them with care. After all, shared bikes are there to make our life easier. Let’s work together to keep this green way of traveling.
39. What can we infer about people who park shared bikes in the middle of the road?
A. They don’t know how to ride bikes.
B. They don’t care about others’ convenience.
C. They want to save parking fees.
D. They prefer walking to riding.
40. What does the underlined word “behaviours” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Ways of riding bikes.
B. Actions that cause problems.
C. Rules made by the government.
D. Suggestions from users.
41. What is the author’s attitude towards shared bikes?
A. He thinks they should be banned.
B. He supports them but calls for proper use.
C. He believes they are too expensive.
D. He thinks they are only for young people.
C
Every year, millions of birds migrate (迁徙) from one place to another. They fly thousands of kilometers to find food or better weather. But migration is not easy. Many birds die during the journey because of bad weather, lack of food, or human activities.
One of the biggest dangers to migrating birds is light pollution. Tall buildings with bright lights at night can confuse birds. Birds use stars to find their way. When they see bright city lights, they may fly toward them and crash into buildings. Scientists say that in the United States alone, up to one billion birds die each year from crashing into buildings.
To help birds, some cities have started “Lights Out” programs. During migration seasons, they ask building owners to turn off unnecessary lights at night. New York City’s program has reduced bird deaths by 60% in some areas.
People can also help in other ways. You can put stickers on your windows so birds can see the glass. You can also keep your cat inside during migration seasons, as cats kill many birds.
Every small action can make a big difference. By working together, we can help birds complete their long and dangerous journey safely.
42. Why do birds migrate according to the text?
A. To find better places to build nests.
B. To look for food or good weather.
C. To avoid being caught by humans.
D. To follow other birds.
43. How does light pollution harm migrating birds?
A. It makes them lose their way and crash into buildings.
B. It makes them too hot to fly.
C. It stops them from finding water.
D. It scares them away.
44. What can we learn from the “Lights Out” program?
A. It has completely solved the problem.
B. It is only effective in New York City.
C. It has helped reduce bird deaths.
D. It requires people to keep cats inside.
45. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To summarize the dangers birds face. B. To encourage everyone to take action.
C. To introduce new ways to help birds. D. To criticize people who harm birds.

In recent years, “forest bathing” has become a popular way to relax. But it has nothing to do with taking a bath in the forest. Forest bathing means spending time in a forest, using all your senses to experience nature.
The idea came from Japan in the 1980s. In Japanese, it is called “Shinrin-yoku”. Studies have shown that forest bathing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve your mood. When you walk slowly in the forest, you breathe in phytoncides — special oils that trees give off. These oils can help your body fight illness.
Unlike hiking, forest bathing is not about exercise or reaching a destination (目标). It’s about being present in nature. You might sit quietly and listen to the leaves, touch the tree bark (树皮), or smell the flowers. You don’t need to go far. Even a small park or a garden can work.
Experts suggest doing forest bathing for at least two hours each time. But if you are busy, even 20 minutes in a green space can help. Put your phone away and just enjoy being outside.
So next time you feel stressed, try visiting a park. You don’t need any special equipment (设备) — just yourself and an open mind.

Do you often find yourself saying, “ I’ll start studying tomorrow?” If so, you are not alone. Procrastination—the act of delaying (延迟) things—is a common problem among students.
But why do we procrastinate? Scientists have found that when we face a task we don’t enjoy, the brain feels pain. To stop that pain, the brain looks for something more pleasant, like watching videos or checking social media. This is not laziness. It is how our brains are wired.
The good news is that procrastination can be beaten. Here are three methods that work:
Method 1: The 5-Minute Rule—Tell yourself you will work on the task for just five minutes. After five minutes, you can stop. Most of the time, you will keep going because starting is the hardest part.
Method 2: Break It Down—Big tasks feel scary. Break a big task into small, easy steps. Instead of “write a 1,000-word essay”, start with “write three sentences”.
Method 3: Remove Temptations (诱惑)—Put your phone in another room. Turn off notifications (通知). Make it hard to do anything except your work.
49. According to the text, why do people procrastinate?
A. Because they are lazy.
B. Because their brain tries to avoid pain.
C. Because they have too much time.
D. Because they don’t know how to start.
50. What is the “5-Minute Rule”?
A. Work for five minutes and then stop forever.
B. Work for five minutes and then take a long break.
C. Start by working for just five minutes.
D. Only work on tasks that take five minutes.
51. What does the author suggest doing with a big task?
A. Leaving it for later.
B. Asking someone else to do it.
C. Breaking it into smaller steps.
D. Doing it all at once.
52. Why does the author say “This is not laziness” in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain that procrastination is a choice.
B. To correct a common misunderstanding about procrastination.
C. To prove that lazy people never procrastinate.
D. To show that procrastination is impossible to change.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
Do you know that your brain can change and grow? This ability is called “neuroplasticity”. For a long time, scientists thought that the adult brain could not change. But now we know that the brain can create new connections between cells at any age.
When you learn something new, like playing the guitar or speaking a language, your brain builds new pathways. The more you practice, the stronger these pathways become. That’s why practice really makes perfect.
Even if you are not good at something at first, your brain can get better with effort. This is called a “growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset believe they can improve through hard work. They are not afraid of challenges or mistakes.
On the other hand, people with a “fixed mindset” think their abilities are set and cannot change. They may give up easily when they face difficulties.
The good news is that you can change your mindset. Next time you say “I can’t do this,” try adding the word “yet”: “I can’t do this yet.” That small word opens the door to growth.
