At Maplewood High School, everyone knows Liam. He is just 1.6 metres tall, but he is the star player of the school basketball team. However, things were different in the beginning.

He didn’t let this stop him. Instead, he practised harder. His short height gave him great agility (敏捷性), helping him get past taller players on the basketball court.
Liam’s hard work paid off (成功). He finally made the team five months later. Soon he became the team’s star player. With his quick steps and smart moves, he surprised the crowd.

Imagine you take a picture of your favourite sweater, and a smart robot looks at the picture and makes the same sweater! Sounds like something out of a fun story, right? But it’s actually getting close to coming true!
Some researchers in Canada have made a special robot. This robot uses AI to look at pictures of knitted (编织) clothes and recreate the same patterns (还原图案)! Even better, the robot can do it all by itself. First, it looks at the picture of a sweater and draws a simple sketch (草图) of the pattern. Then, it turns that sketch into knitting steps that it can follow. It’s like giving the robot a recipe to make soup, but this one knits sweaters!
People tested the robot with 5, 000 pictures. And you know what? It got the patterns right more than 97% of the time! This new robot could be a big help. In the future, it may help make clothes faster and at a lower cost. It could even bring back old, special patterns from history.
But there’s a worry, too. Many people around the world work in knitting jobs. If robots do the work, those people might lose their jobs. That could be a big problem.
Let’s hope that scientists make the robots even better in the future, while also thinking about how to help people whose jobs may change because of it. After all, cool inventions are even better when they make life easier for everyone.
43. What can the special robot do?
A. Take pictures of sweaters. B. Make soup by following recipes.
C. Draw pictures of old historical clothes. D. Recreate knitting patterns from pictures.
44. How does the writer develop Paragraph 3?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By showing reasons.
45. What’s the main problem with the new robot?

13 August is a special day for 10% of the world’s people. Those people are excited to celebrate being left-handed on International Left—Handers Day. They also use the time to make people understand the challenges and advantages of their situation.
Left-handers are also called lefties. They meet many challenges daily. That’s because most things in the world are made for right-handed people. For example, when lefties use regular (普通的) scissors, they can’t cut well.
Also, in many places, people think being left-handed is bad and impolite. Because of that, people often treat lefties differently. For example, they always ask left-handed children to use their right hands instead. And sometimes left-handed workers get less money than right-handed ones.
But life isn’t all bad for left-handers. In some situations, they actually have an advantage over righties. Many people believe lefties use their right brain more. So, they are more creative and often become artists and musicians.
Lefties also have more acute (敏锐的) senses. That means they don’t only need language to understand and feel things. Left-handers also think differently and use their imagination more. They’re good at maths and can finish lots of tasks at once.
In the world of sports, lefties often stand out. They’re especially amazing at baseball and tennis.
If you’re right-handed, here’s a fun challenge: try doing everything with your left hand on International Left-Handers Day. You’ll quickly see that life isn’t so easy for lefties in a right-handed world. Anyway, being left-handed is just one of the many things that make people different. And that’s something to celebrate!
46. How does the writer explain what challenges left-handers have?
A. By telling stories. B. By offering advice. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
47. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Artists. B. Senses. C. Left-handers. D. Right-handers.
48. Why does the writer ask readers to try using their left hand in the last paragraph?
A. To teach them a new lesson. B. To make them more creative.
C. To show left-handers are creative. D. To help them understand left-handed life.
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Righties are always unfriendly to lefties. B. Left-handers only use half of their brains.
C. Lefties are better at some things than righties. D. Right-handers have harder lives than left-handers.

You might think exploring lost worlds is an exciting adventure. However, in the past, it was difficult and dangerous. Scientists had to travel to faraway and unknown forests or dig deep into the ground. But today, things have changed!
Modern technology has greatly improved our ability to discover ancient ruins (遗迹) and learn about past civilizations (文明). For example, satellite imaging (卫星成像) allows scientists to see hidden structures under the ground. One recent discovery was made in a village area. Some farmers there found something strange when they planted vegetables. One farmer believed that ruins must be there under the ground. Later, scientists used the technology to take pictures from space to see what was underground and successfully found a lost city.
DNA analysis (DNA分析) is another powerful tool. By checking hair and other things, researchers can learn about the people who lived in these lost worlds. For example, scientists studied DNA in ancient remains in Peru to learn about people who built buildings for watching the stars. This showed that star knowledge existed long ago.
Thanks to technology, we no longer have to guess what lost worlds were like. We can see them, study them, and even walk through their rebuilt streets in museums. Technology does not just help scientists—it brings history to life for all of us.
50. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By listing facts. B. By making comparison. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question.
51. What can modern technology do to lost worlds according to the text?
A. It can dig out hidden structures directly.
B. It can bring the vegetables back to life.
C. Lost cities could be rebuilt by using satellite imaging.
D. Ancient people can be studied by using the DNA tests.
52. What does the underlined word “existed” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Remained. B. Disappeared. C. Imagined. D. Produced.

I am an eighth-grade middle school student, Charlie. As a child, I enjoyed sitting in a tree, reading a book and feeling the cool wind! One day, I read a book named Heidi by Johanna Spyri. In it, Heidi lives with her grandfather in the mountains. The mountain life in the book made me dream of climbing real mountains one day.
This dream stayed with me as I grew older. Now, I go climbing during my summer holiday every year. I love the fresh air and the feeling when I go mountain climbing. And climbing mountains has taught me many things about life.

V. 单项填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. —Did Hu Rui tell the truth?
—Yes. He is a(n) ________ boy and I believe what he said.
A. smart B. helpful C. honest D. serious
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——胡瑞说真话了吗?——是的。他是一个诚实的男孩,我相信他说的话。
smart聪明的;helpful乐于助人的;honest诚实的;serious严肃的。根据“Did Hu Rui tell the truth?”及回答“Yes”和“I believe what he said”可知,强调他说真话,值得信赖,对应“诚实的”。
2. The beauty of our hometown is always in our hearts. We will remember every corner ________ we live far away.
A. unless B. since C. even though D. so that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:家乡的美丽永远在我们心中。即使我们住在远方,我们也会记住每一个角落。
unless除非;since自从,因为;even though即使;so that以便。根据句意,前句表示“会记住每一个角落”,后句表示“住在远方”,两者之间存在让步关系,即虽然住在远方,但仍会记住。unless引导条件状语从句,since引导时间或原因状语从句,even though引导让步状语从句,so that引导目的状语从句。结合逻辑关系可知应填表示让步的连词,even though符合语境。
3. —Look at the dark clouds, and it ________.
—Don’t worry. I have an umbrella in my bag, so we won’t get wet.
A. rains B. is going to rain C. rained D. has rained
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看那些乌云,天要下雨了。——别担心。我包里有伞,所以我们不会淋湿。
根据“Look at the dark clouds”可知,此处是根据眼前的迹象推测即将发生的事情,使用be going to结构。主语“it”是第三人称单数,be动词用is。
4. —Through all the hard times, Kate and Alice have stood by each other, so nothing can ________ them.
—Exactly. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A. serve B. manage C. protect D. separate
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——历经所有艰难时刻,凯特和爱丽丝一直相互支持,所以没有什么能把她们分开。——确实如此。患难见真情。
serve服务;manage管理;protect保护;separate分开。根据“Through all the hard times, Kate and Alice have stood by each other”可知两人友谊坚固,相互支持,推测出没有什么能将她们“分开”。应填separate。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:第34届夏季奥运会将于2028年在洛杉矶举办。这将是洛杉矶第三次举办奥运会。
根据时间状语“in 2028”可知,动作发生在将来,应用一般将来时;主语“The 34th Summer Olympic Games”与动词“hold”之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,一般将来时的被动语态结构为“will be+过去分词”,应填will be held。
9. —Mother’s Day is coming. Never ________ telling your mum you love her.

【导语】本文讲述了陈先生在寒冷的冬夜买完水果后,遇到卖橘子的老妇人,出于善意给了她100元却没拿橘子,温暖了老妇人也让自己内心充实的故事,传递了人与人之间的善意与温暖。
【11题详解】
句意:陈先生推着购物车,试图挑选最大、最好看的橘子。
根据后文“the biggest and best-looking oranges”以及“hoping to make a careful choice”可知,此处表示陈先生在挑选橘子,应选用choose。hold“拿着”,与“挑选”的动作不符。
【12题详解】
句意:他比较了不同颜色和大小的橘子,希望做出仔细的选择。
根据后文“hoping to make a careful choice”可知,要做出仔细的选择需要先对比不同的橘子,应选用compared。considered“考虑”,侧重主观思考而非客观对比物品差异。
【13题详解】
句意:最后,他找到了一些自己满意的橘子。
根据前文他仔细挑选橘子的过程可知,最终找到了符合自己要求、让自己满意的橘子,应选用satisfied with。interested in“感兴趣”,不能体现挑选后的满意结果。
【14题详解】
句意:当陈先生走出超市时,他注意到一位老妇人坐在门口附近。
根据后文对老妇人摊位和橘子的详细描述可知,陈先生是看到、注意到了老妇人,应选用noticed。missed“错过”,与语境表达的“看到”含义相反。
【15题详解】
句意:这些橘子看起来很普通,所以几乎没有人停下来买它们。
根据后文“so almost no one stopped to buy them”的因果关系可知,没人买是因为橘子看起来很普通、没有吸引力,应选用common。fresh“新鲜的”,新鲜的橘子不会无人问津,不符合逻辑。
【16题详解】
句意:陈先生很累,想回家,但有什么东西让他放慢了脚步。
根据前文他想赶紧回家,后文他犹豫并询问橘子价格的转折可知,他没有直接离开,而是放慢了脚步,应选用slow down。calm down表“冷静下来”,与语境无关。
【17题详解】
句意:也许是寒风,也许是她充满希望的微笑。
根据前文“the old woman always kept a warm smile on her face”可知,老妇人脸上一直带着温暖的微笑,此处对应前文提到的表情,应选用smile。spirit“精神”,与前文的细节描述不匹配。
【18题详解】
句意:他犹豫了一下,然后询问了价格。
根据后文老妇人回答“One bag for ten yuan”可知,陈先生询问的是橘子的价格,应选用price。reason表“原因”,与后文的回答内容不符。
【19题详解】
句意:你付了太多钱……而且你没拿水果。
根据前文“Mr Chen gave her 100 yuan”可知,陈先生给了老妇人钱,此处表示支付的金额过多,应选用paid。counted“数数”,不符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:老妇人的眼睛湿润了,她一遍又一遍地向陈先生道谢。
根据后文“she said thank you again and again”可知,老妇人被陈先生的善意深深感动,眼睛湿润了,应选用wet。wide“睁大的”,不能体现感动落泪的情绪。

Want to manage kids’ screen time? Many parents have tried to find ways to ____21____ their kids’ screen time. A new study ____22____ that parents’ own screen use may influence their kids’ behaviour. When kids see their parents on screens, they probably ____23____ that behaviour. Even if parents think their kids aren’t paying attention, the study also shows that one big reason kids use screens is because of what their ____24____ do in front of them.
Parents are role models for their kids, “Our actions can speak so ____25____ that kids can’t hear what we say,” says Dr Ken Ginsburg.
What’s more, parents should ____26____ trying to control their kids too much, as it often backfires (产生事与愿违的不良后果). Ginsburg explains, “Kids see what we do and don’t like being controlled. If they feel we set rules just to ____27____ them, they’ll find ways to get around those rules. ”
In fact, having a family ____28____ to set screen time rules together can help. “One big myth (误区) is that kids don’t care about what their parents say. When we set rules, it’s ____29____ to explain why,” Ginsburg says. This conversation can result in agreements on certain ____30____, such as “using one screen at a time” and “stopping screen use during meals, bedtime and study time”.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨父母使用电子产品屏幕对孩子的影响,指出父母是榜样,建议避免过度控制,通过家庭讨论共同制定规则,强调沟通的重要性。
【21题详解】
句意:许多父母试图寻找方法来减少孩子的屏幕时间。
根据“manage kids’ screen time”及常识,父母管理屏幕时间通常是为了限制或减少使用。reduce意为“减少”,符合语境;increase(增加)与目的相反;record(记录)和check(检查)不符合“管理”的主要意图。
【22题详解】
句意:一项新研究表明,父母自身的屏幕使用可能会影响孩子的行为。
根据主语“A new study”,研究通常用来展示或表明某种发现或成果。shows意为“表明”,常用于引出研究结果;proves(证明)语气过强;doubts(怀疑)和 lists(列出)不符合研究结论的语境。
【23题详解】
句意:当孩子们看到父母使用屏幕时,他们可能会模仿这种行为。
根据上下文“父母自身的屏幕使用可能会影响孩子的行为”,孩子会学习父母的行为。copy意为“模仿”,符合语境;improve(改善)、change(改变)和 hide(隐藏)均无法体现孩子受父母影响的过程。
【24题详解】
句意:这项研究还表明,即使父母认为自己的孩子没有留意,孩子使用屏幕的一大原因是因为父母在他们面前的行为。
根据全文主题“parents’ own screen use”,此处指父母的行为。parents意为“父母”,与文章核心对象一致;friends(朋友)、teachers(老师)和classmates(同学)均非本文讨论重点。
【25题详解】
句意:身教重于言传,以至于孩子听不到我们说的话。
根据谚语含义“身教重于言传”,行动的影响力比语言大。loudly意为“大声地”,此处为比喻用法,强调行动胜过语言;clearly(清楚地)、quietly(安静地)和slowly(慢慢地)不符合该固定表达的逻辑。
【26题详解】
句意:此外,父母应避免试图过度控制孩子,因为这往往适得其反。
根据后文“it often backfires”(往往适得其反),可知这是负面结果,故应不做此事。avoid意为“避免”,符合逻辑;mind(介意)、regret(后悔)和prefer(更喜欢)均不符合建议的语境。
【27题详解】
句意:如果他们觉得我们制定规则只是为了限制他们,他们会想办法绕过规则。
根据前文“don't like being controlled”,孩子反感被控制。limit意为“限制”,与control含义相近,符合孩子对规则的负面看法;help(帮助)、protect(保护)和train(训练)均为正面词汇,不符合此处语境。
【28题详解】
句意:事实上,进行家庭讨论一起制定屏幕时间规则会有帮助。
根据后文“This conversation”,此处指家庭成员间的交流。discussion意为“讨论”,与 conversation 呼应;survey(调查)、party(聚会)和project(项目)均不符合“制定规则”的协作过程。
【29题详解】
句意:当我们制定规则时,解释原因是必要的。
根据上下文,为了让孩子接受规则,有必要向他们解释原因。necessary意为“必要的”,符合语境;difficult(困难的)、fair(公平的)和unusual(不寻常的)均无法体现解释原因的重要性。
【30题详解】
句意:这种对话可以促成关于某些规则的共识,比如“一次只用一个电子屏幕”以及“在吃饭、睡觉和学习时间停止使用电子设备”。
根据前文“set screen time rules together”,此处指达成的具体规定。rules意为“规则”,与全文主题一致;ways(方法)、fields(领域)和standards(标准)均不如 rules 准确对应前文内容。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一段对话,主要围绕即将到来的英语戏剧周展开。
【31题详解】
上文A询问B“What are you doing here?”,需要回答正在做的事,结合“It says the English Drama Week is coming soon.”可知,B选项“我正在看公告栏上的海报”,刚好衔接后一句“说英语戏剧周快要来了”,符合逻辑。
【32题详解】
根据上文“It says the English Drama Week is coming soon.”,B告知戏剧周即将到来后,A回应这个活动,D选项“我真的很期待它”,衔接后文A说的“It is an amazing event in our school. I still remember the play Snow White last year.”,语义通顺。
【33题详解】
下文A用“Yes”回答,还提到“He was honored as the best director for his excellent work.”,说明空处是问到和导演相关的一般疑问句,C选项“那是Tom导演的吗”,完全贴合上下文。
【34题详解】
B确认Tom是去年的导演后,提到“I really enjoyed his last one.”,下文A说出Tom这次的新剧《美猴王》,说明空处询问Tom本次会不会出新作,G选项“这次他会推出新戏剧吗?”,逻辑连贯。

Running fast and moving smartly, he passed the ball perfectly and took great shots (投篮). When the last game of the season arrived, Liam decided to do his best. He encouraged his teammates, led them with confidence and together, they played their hearts out. In the end, the game ended with a score of 108 to 105.

Imagine you take a picture of your favourite sweater, and a smart robot looks at the picture and makes the same sweater! Sounds like something out of a fun story, right? But it’s actually getting close to coming true!
Some researchers in Canada have made a special robot. This robot uses AI to look at pictures of knitted (编织) clothes and recreate the same patterns (还原图案)! Even better, the robot can do it all by itself. First, it looks at the picture of a sweater and draws a simple sketch (草图) of the pattern. Then, it turns that sketch into knitting steps that it can follow. It’s like giving the robot a recipe to make soup, but this one knits sweaters!
People tested the robot with 5, 000 pictures. And you know what? It got the patterns right more than 97% of the time! This new robot could be a big help. In the future, it may help make clothes faster and at a lower cost. It could even bring back old, special patterns from history.
But there’s a worry, too. Many people around the world work in knitting jobs. If robots do the work, those people might lose their jobs. That could be a big problem.
Let’s hope that scientists make the robots even better in the future, while also thinking about how to help people whose jobs may change because of it. After all, cool inventions are even better when they make life easier for everyone.
43. What can the special robot do?
A. Take pictures of sweaters. B. Make soup by following recipes.
C. Draw pictures of old historical clothes. D. Recreate knitting patterns from pictures.
44. How does the writer develop Paragraph 3?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By showing reasons.
45. What’s the main problem with the new robot?
A. It may cost a lot to make. B. It may make people lose jobs.
C. It may knit clothes too slowly. D. It may raise the price of knitted clothes.
【答案】43. D 44. A 45. B
【解析】

【43题详解】
第二段第二句提到:“This robot uses AI to look at pictures of knitted clothes and recreate the same patterns!”这个特殊机器人能利用人工智能根据图片编织图案。
【44题详解】
第三段中的关键信息“5, 000 pictures”和“97%”可知,作者通过列举具体的数字来说明机器人的测试数量和准确率,以此支撑观点。
【45题详解】
第四段内容“But there’s a worry, too... If robots do the work, those people might lose their jobs. That could be a big problem.”可知,新机器人带来的主要问题是可能导致从事编织工作的人失业。

13 August is a special day for 10% of the world’s people. Those people are excited to celebrate being left-handed on International Left—Handers Day. They also use the time to make people understand the challenges and advantages of their situation.
Left-handers are also called lefties. They meet many challenges daily. That’s because most things in the world are made for right-handed people. For example, when lefties use regular (普通的) scissors, they can’t cut well.
Also, in many places, people think being left-handed is bad and impolite. Because of that, people often treat lefties differently. For example, they always ask left-handed children to use their right hands instead. And sometimes left-handed workers get less money than right-handed ones.
But life isn’t all bad for left-handers. In some situations, they actually have an advantage over righties. Many people believe lefties use their right brain more. So, they are more creative and often become artists and musicians.
Lefties also have more acute (敏锐的) senses. That means they don’t only need language to understand and feel things. Left-handers also think differently and use their imagination more. They’re good at maths and can finish lots of tasks at once.
In the world of sports, lefties often stand out. They’re especially amazing at baseball and tennis.
If you’re right-handed, here’s a fun challenge: try doing everything with your left hand on International Left-Handers Day. You’ll quickly see that life isn’t so easy for lefties in a right-handed world. Anyway, being left-handed is just one of the many things that make people different. And that’s something to celebrate!
46. How does the writer explain what challenges left-handers have?
A. By telling stories. B. By offering advice. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
47. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Artists. B. Senses. C. Left-handers. D. Right-handers.
48. Why does the writer ask readers to try using their left hand in the last paragraph?
A. To teach them a new lesson. B. To make them more creative.
C. To show left-handers are creative. D. To help them understand left-handed life.
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Righties are always unfriendly to lefties. B. Left-handers only use half of their brains.
C. Lefties are better at some things than righties. D. Right-handers have harder lives than left-handers.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. D 49. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了左撇子在生活中面临的挑战、独特优势,以及国际左撇子日的相关内容。
【46题详解】
文中提到“For example, when lefties use regular scissors, they can’t cut well.”和“For example, they always ask left-handed children to use their right hands instead.”,通过举例说明左撇子遇到的困难。
【47题详解】
第五段提到“Lefties also have more acute (敏锐的) senses. That means they don’t only need language to understand and feel things.”,因此下文中的“they”指代的是前文提到的左撇子“Lefties”,即“Left-handers”。
【48题详解】
最后一段提到:“You’ll quickly see that life isn’t so easy for lefties in a right-handed world.”,作者建议右撇子尝试用左手做事,是为了让他们亲身体验并理解左撇子在以右撇子为主的世界中生活的不易。
【49题详解】
文中提到“they actually have an advantage over righties”“they are more creative”“Lefties are especially amazing at baseball and tennis”,说明左撇子在某些方面比右撇子更有优势。

You might think exploring lost worlds is an exciting adventure. However, in the past, it was difficult and dangerous. Scientists had to travel to faraway and unknown forests or dig deep into the ground. But today, things have changed!
Modern technology has greatly improved our ability to discover ancient ruins (遗迹) and learn about past civilizations (文明). For example, satellite imaging (卫星成像) allows scientists to see hidden structures under the ground. One recent discovery was made in a village area. Some farmers there found something strange when they planted vegetables. One farmer believed that ruins must be there under the ground. Later, scientists used the technology to take pictures from space to see what was underground and successfully found a lost city.
DNA analysis (DNA分析) is another powerful tool. By checking hair and other things, researchers can learn about the people who lived in these lost worlds. For example, scientists studied DNA in ancient remains in Peru to learn about people who built buildings for watching the stars. This showed that star knowledge existed long ago.
Thanks to technology, we no longer have to guess what lost worlds were like. We can see them, study them, and even walk through their rebuilt streets in museums. Technology does not just help scientists—it brings history to life for all of us.

文章第三段倒数第二句“scientists studied DNA in ancient remains in Peru to learn about people who built buildings for watching the stars”和最后一句“This showed that star knowledge existed long ago.”指出,科学家通过研究古代遗骸发现古人建造了观星建筑,由此推断关于星星的知识在很久以前就已经“存在”,而不是消失、想象或产生。因此existed意为“存在”,与remained“留存,存在”意思最接近。

In it, Heidi lives with her grandfather in the mountains. The mountain life in the book made me dream of climbing real mountains one day.
This dream stayed with me as I grew older. Now, I go climbing during my summer holiday every year. I love the fresh air and the feeling when I go mountain climbing. And climbing mountains has taught me many things about life.
Life is like climbing mountains. Just as we often face difficult problems in life, we come across wrong turns and difficulties while climbing. But we shouldn’t give up. Taking the time to find the right way is all part of the journey.
Also, don’t hurry to get to the top. We can enjoy the trip itself. We can look around, take breaks, and enjoy the landscape. It makes the experience really meaningful.

【答案】范文:
Dear Helen,
Thank you for sharing your feelings. It’s common for teenagers to care about what others think. But if we care too much, we may lose ourselves and feel stressed and unhappy.
Here is my advice. First, believe in yourself and learn to accept who you are. Second, do what you think is right and don’t just follow others. Third, talk to your friends or teachers when you feel upset.
Don’t be afraid to show the world the real you. The more you trust yourself, the braver and better you will be. Just be yourself and shine brightly!
Yours,
Editor
