In 1872, a 12-year-old Chinese boy boarded a ship heading for the USA. He would be away from his parents for the next nine years. This young boy was Zhan Tianyou, who was destined to play a major role in the development of China’s railroads. Zhan was one of the first 30 boys chosen for the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), founded by the Qing government to help China develop through education.
Recruiting these boys was not easy. The CEM’s original plan required parents to part with their sons for 15 years — a huge risk when few Chinese had traveled abroad, and many feared foreigners. A friend persuaded Zhan’s father to let him take the CEM test, and Zhan finally joined the group sailing to the USA.
After reaching the US west coast, Zhan and the others traveled by train to east coast schools. On the way, he was amazed by American industrial civilisation, especially the railroads and trains. In Connecticut, he studied at the Seaside Institute for Boys, where he became close to the headmaster’s family. Mrs Northrop, the headmaster’s wife, noticed his talent for maths and encouraged him to study science and engineering — a suggestion that shaped his future.
Zhan did not ignore his studies in the US. He expanded his knowledge of science, took part in research, and graduated top of his class. In high school, he was impressed by the new American railroad system and saddened by China’s limited displays (mostly tea and silk) at a US exposition. Thus, he longed to rid China of the tough situation. These experiences led him to choose civil engineering (focused on railroads) at Yale University. He graduated first in 1881, but the Qing government recalled all CEM students that summer — only Zhan and one other finished college.
Zhan returned to China eager to build railroads. In 1888, he began his work, and later became famous for the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway (built across difficult and complex region). Known as “the Father of China’s Railroad,” he served his country for 31 years, improving millions of lives.
8. Why was it hard to recruit boys for the CEM?
A. The trip to the US was too expensive.
B. Parents were unwilling to separate from their sons for long.
C. The Qing government did not support the mission.
D. Boys were not interested in studying abroad.
9. What influenced Zhan to choose civil engineering as his major?
A. His interest in American railroads and desire to help China.
B. Mrs Northrop’s suggestion to study science.
C. His excellent performance in maths at the Seaside Institute.
D. The limited displays of Chinese products at the US exposition.
10. What can we learn about Zhan from the text?
A. He spent 15 years in the US as planned.
B. He was the only CEM student to finish college.
C. He built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in 1888.
D. He made great contributions to China’s railroad development.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To explain the role of the CEM in China’s development.
B. To describe Zhan Tianyou’s experiences and achievements.
C. To compare American and Chinese railroads in the 1800s.
D. To introduce the history of China’s first railroad.
D
There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean (地中海) has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resortsand beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
12. Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _________.
A. they wish to escape from the cold and darkness
B. they want to see some famous historic sites
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous places
D. they are interested in different cultural and social customs
13. The underlined part in paragraph 3, “one tourist for each person living in Spain” suggests _________.
A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists
B. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
C. there are a large number of tourists visiting Spain
D. every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year
14. According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Rainy weather. B. Crowded buses.
C. Polluted water. D. Traffic jams.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. People travel for different reasons. B. Travelling causes a lot of problems.
C. Europeans are fond of travelling. D. Northern Europeans travel for “sun”.

In 1872, a 12-year-old Chinese boy boarded a ship heading for the USA. He would be away from his parents for the next nine years. This young boy was Zhan Tianyou, who was destined to play a major role in the development of China’s railroads. Zhan was one of the first 30 boys chosen for the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), founded by the Qing government to help China develop through education.
Recruiting these boys was not easy. The CEM’s original plan required parents to part with their sons for 15 years — a huge risk when few Chinese had traveled abroad, and many feared foreigners. A friend persuaded Zhan’s father to let him take the CEM test, and Zhan finally joined the group sailing to the USA.
After reaching the US west coast, Zhan and the others traveled by train to east coast schools. On the way, he was amazed by American industrial civilisation, especially the railroads and trains. In Connecticut, he studied at the Seaside Institute for Boys, where he became close to the headmaster’s family. Mrs Northrop, the headmaster’s wife, noticed his talent for maths and encouraged him to study science and engineering — a suggestion that shaped his future.
Zhan did not ignore his studies in the US. He expanded his knowledge of science, took part in research, and graduated top of his class. In high school, he was impressed by the new American railroad system and saddened by China’s limited displays (mostly tea and silk) at a US exposition. Thus, he longed to rid China of the tough situation. These experiences led him to choose civil engineering (focused on railroads) at Yale University. He graduated first in 1881, but the Qing government recalled all CEM students that summer — only Zhan and one other finished college.
Zhan returned to China eager to build railroads. In 1888, he began his work, and later became famous for the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway (built across difficult and complex region). Known as “the Father of China’s Railroad,” he served his country for 31 years, improving millions of lives.
8. Why was it hard to recruit boys for the CEM?
A. The trip to the US was too expensive.
B. Parents were unwilling to separate from their sons for long.
C. The Qing government did not support the mission.
D. Boys were not interested in studying abroad.
9. What influenced Zhan to choose civil engineering as his major?
A. His interest in American railroads and desire to help China.
B. Mrs Northrop’s suggestion to study science.
C. His excellent performance in maths at the Seaside Institute.
D. The limited displays of Chinese products at the US exposition.
10. What can we learn about Zhan from the text?
A. He spent 15 years in the US as planned.
B. He was the only CEM student to finish college.
C. He built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in 1888.
D. He made great contributions to China’s railroad development.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To explain the role of the CEM in China’s development.
B. To describe Zhan Tianyou’s experiences and achievements.
C. To compare American and Chinese railroads in the 1800s.
D. To introduce the history of China’s first railroad.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了詹天佑的成长经历、留学过程以及回国后对中国铁路发展所做出的巨大贡献。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The CEM’s original plan required parents to part with their sons for 15 years — a huge risk when few Chinese had traveled abroad, and many feared foreigners. (中国教育使团的最初计划要求父母与儿子分离15年——当时很少有中国人出国旅行,许多人害怕外国人,这是一个巨大的风险。)”可知,很少有中国人出国旅行,且许多人都害怕外国人,所以父母不愿意与儿子长时间分离,这使得招募男孩变得困难。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In high school, he was impressed by the new American railroad system and saddened by China’s limited displays (mostly tea and silk) at a US exposition. Thus, he longed to rid China of the tough situation. These experiences led him to choose civil engineering (focused on railroads) at Yale University. (高中时,美国新的铁路系统给他留下了深刻印象,而中国在美国博览会上有限的展品(主要是茶叶和丝绸)让他感到难过。因此,他渴望帮助中国摆脱困境。这些经历使他在耶鲁大学选择了土木工程(专注于铁路)。)”可知,詹天佑对美国铁路印象深刻,且渴望帮助中国摆脱困境,这些经历促使他选择了土木工程专业。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Known as “the Father of China’s Railroad,” he served his country for 31 years, improving millions of lives. (他被誉为“中国铁路之父”,为国家服务了31年,改善了数百万人的生活。)”可知,詹天佑为中国铁路的发展做出了巨大贡献。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This young boy was Zhan Tianyou, who was destined to play a major role in the development of China rail’s roads. (这个年轻的男孩就是詹天佑,他注定要在中国铁路的发展中扮演重要角色。)”以及后文对詹天佑的经历和成就的详细描述可知,文章主要介绍了詹天佑的经历和成就。故选B项。

There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean (地中海) has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resortsand beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
12. Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _________.
A. they wish to escape from the cold and darkness
B. they want to see some famous historic sites
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous places
D. they are interested in different cultural and social customs
13. The underlined part in paragraph 3, “one tourist for each person living in Spain” suggests _________.
A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists
B. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
C. there are a large number of tourists visiting Spain
D. every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year
14. According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Rainy weather. B. Crowded buses.
C. Polluted water. D. Traffic jams.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. People travel for different reasons. B. Travelling causes a lot of problems.
C. Europeans are fond of travelling. D. Northern Europeans travel for “sun”.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北欧人因阳光稀缺而热衷于地中海的阳光海滩,这不仅满足了游客需求,也极大地推动了地中海国家的经济,尽管存在各种问题,游客仍对拥挤和污染视而不见,享受阳光带来的乐趣。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. (北欧人愿意花很多钱来享受阳光,因为他们的阳光太少了。像伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹这样的城市的人们在冬天的大部分时间里都是在黑暗中度过的,因为白天很短,而一年中剩下的大部分时间都在下雨)”可知,欧洲人旅行的主要原因是他们希望逃离寒冷和黑暗。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“About 37 million tourists visit there yearly (每年约有3700万游客到那里旅游)”可知,前往西班牙旅行的人数量庞大,由此可知,画线部分指“有大量的游客到西班牙旅游”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. (很明显,他们去那里不是为了干净的水。他们允许交通堵塞,似乎喜欢拥挤的海滩。他们甚至不介意污染。不管水有多脏,海岸线看起来仍然很美。只要有阳光,总比坐在柏林、伦敦或奥斯陆的冷雨中要好)”可知,下雨的天气可能会破坏游客在地中海度假胜地和海滩的乐趣。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. (大多数欧洲游客都在寻找一个阳光明媚的海滩躺在上面)”、第二段中“Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. (北欧人愿意花很多钱来享受阳光,因为他们的阳光太少了)”可知,文章主要介绍了北欧人因阳光稀缺而热衷于地中海的阳光海滩,这不仅满足了游客需求,也极大地推动了地中海国家的经济,尽管存在各种问题,游客仍对拥挤和污染视而不见,享受阳光带来的乐趣。因此,文章主要是说明北欧人旅行是为了“阳光”。故选D项。

The importance of homework
Homework is an essential part of a student’s education, even if many students dislike it. They often feel that homework takes away their free time, which they would prefer to spend on leisure activities. ____16____
It gives students practice in what they have learned in class. Without this additional practice, students will usually forget what they have learned. ____17____ When the teacher marks the homework, the teacher will also be able to check if a student needs help with a certain topic or concept.
It keeps students occupied in productive activities. ____18____ They would most likely spend their time on things which they enjoy but are not beneficial. Homework ensures that students do some studying, which will help them do better in examinations. Otherwise, their time would be wasted on unproductive and even unhealthy pastimes.
____19____ Homework is usually done at home where there is no supervision by teachers. Unless students have strict parents who monitor what they do, it is up to the students to decide when to do the work or even whether to complete the task or not. With this, students would slowly become more used to the idea of doing independent work without someone breathing down their necks.
To conclude, homework plays a very important role in education, even though students like to complain about it. ____20____ Therefore, students should approach homework with a positive attitude and a sense of responsibility.
A. It promotes students’ self-discipline effectively.
B. Many students believe homework limits their leisure time.
C. Homework can cause stress and anxiety for some students.
D. Actually, homework plays a crucial role in education for many benefits.
E. It strengthens learning, engages students, and develops essential life skills.

G. Without homework, students will have a lot of time on their hands after school.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了家庭作业在教育中的重要性,包括巩固学习、让学生参与学习、培养生活技能等方面的作用。
【16题详解】
上文“Homework is an essential part of a student’s education, even if many students dislike it. They often feel that homework takes away their free time, which they would prefer to spend on leisure activities.(家庭作业是学生教育中必不可少的一部分,即使许多学生不喜欢它。他们常常觉得家庭作业占用了他们的空闲时间,他们更愿意把这些时间花在休闲活动上)”说明虽然学生不喜欢家庭作业,觉得它占用时间,但家庭作业其实很重要。空处和前文为转折关系,引出作业的积极作用。所以D项“实际上,家庭作业在教育中起着至关重要的作用,有许多好处。”符合语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“It gives students practice in what they have learned in class. Without this additional practice, students will usually forget what they have learned.(它让学生练习他们在课堂上学到的东西。如果没有这种额外的练习,学生通常会忘记他们所学的东西)”说明家庭作业能让学生练习课堂所学,巩固知识。空处和前文为顺接关系,进一步说明家庭作业的额外作用。所以F项“额外的作业帮助学生检查他们对所教课程的理解。”符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
上文“It keeps students occupied in productive activities.(它让学生忙于有成效的活动)”说明家庭作业能让学生有事可做。下文“They would most likely spend their time on things which they enjoy but are not beneficial.(他们很可能会把时间花在他们喜欢但无益的事情上)”说明没有作业学生会出现的情况,空处和前文为对比关系,从反面说明没有作业的情况。所以G项“没有家庭作业,学生放学后会有很多空闲时间。”符合语境,下文中的They指代该项中的students。故选G。
【19题详解】
下文“Homework is usually done at home where there is no supervision by teachers. Unless students have strict parents who monitor what they do, it is up to the students to decide when to do the work or even whether to complete the task or not. With this, students would slowly become more used to the idea of doing independent work without someone breathing down their necks.(家庭作业通常是在家里完成的,没有老师的监督。除非学生有严格的父母来监督他们的行为,否则由学生自己决定什么时候做作业,甚至是否完成任务。这样,学生就会慢慢习惯于在没有别人监督的情况下做独立的工作)”说明家庭作业能培养学生的自律能力。空处为段落主题句,应概括本段内容,即家庭作业能有效促进学生的自律。所以A项“它能有效促进学生的自律。”符合语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“To conclude, homework plays a very important role in education, even though students like to complain about it.(总之,家庭作业在教育中的作用非常重要,尽管学生们喜欢抱怨它)”说明家庭作业在教育中有重要作用。空处和前文为顺接关系,进一步总结家庭作业的作用。所以E项“它巩固学习,让学生参与学习,并培养基本的生活技能。”符合语境,该项中It指代前文中的“homework”。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是拖延症的现象、造成的危害以及应对拖延症的方法。
【46题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:我们都有过这样的经历:几周前,当科学项目交给你的时候,你完全打算把它完成,但是你没有。此处为谓语动词,结合句意以及时间状语weeks ago可知,此处描述的是过去发生的动作,所以此处使用一般过去时,give与主语it之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填was given。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意:现在离最后期限只有几个小时了,你可以认真地完成你的项目了……或者你可以花时间在TikTok上。此处为固定短语“spend…on…”意为“把……花在……上”符合句意。故填on。
【48题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:如果这听起来像你的经历,那么你并不孤单:根据Study Mode进行的一项调查,87%的高中生和大学生认为自己的行为方式被称为拖延症。此处为非谓语动词短语作后置定语修饰名词survey,survey与carry out之间为逻辑上的被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填carried。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:如果这听起来像你的经历,那么你并不孤单:根据Study Mode进行的一项调查,87%的高中生和大学生认为自己的行为方式被称为拖延症。此处为关系词引导的定语从句修饰先行词way,从句中缺少主语,所以使用关系代词,先行词指的是事物,所以使用关系代词that或者which。故填that/which。
【50题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:不知何故,这让拖延变得更容易。此处为形容词作宾补,结合句意以及副词much可知,此处应为easy的比较级easier意为“更容易”。故填easier。
【51题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这是一个很容易陷入却很难走出的循环。此处为形容词作表语,与easy为并列,challenge的形容词challenging意为“挑战性的”符合句意。故填challenging。
【52题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:研究人员发现,拖延症会导致焦虑率上升,睡眠不足和成绩下降。此处为名词作主语,根据谓语动词have found可知,此处应为名词复数形式,且位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Researchers。
【53题详解】
考查副词。句意:简单地说,拖延症阻碍了你实现目标,阻碍了你成为最好的自己——这是不好的。此处为副词作状语修饰动词put,simple的副词形式为simply,simply put意为“简而言之”,且位于句首,simply的首字母需大写。故填Simply。
【54题详解】
考查动名词。句意:简单地说,拖延症阻碍了你实现目标,阻碍了你成为最好的自己——这是不好的。此处为非谓语动词短语作宾语,介词from后应为动名词形式作宾语。故填achieving。
【55题详解】
考查冠词。句意:把任务分成小步骤,制定一个具体的时间表,并按照它去做。schedule意为“时间表”,为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一个具体的时间表”应表示泛指意义,且specific的首个音素为辅音,所以此处使用不定冠词a。故填a。
