A．ugly B．afraid C．silly D．rich 【答案】D 【解析】句意：我喜欢阅读，尽管我不富有，但我还是在书上花了很多钱。 ugly丑陋的；afraid害怕的；silly愚蠢的；rich富有的。根据句中“spend much money on books”以及连词“although”可知，前后存在转折关系，表示虽然经济不宽裕但仍愿意花钱买书，符合语境。故选 D。 2．—Mum, I can’t find my key to the door. —Oh, it ________ on the sofa when you came in. Look under the newspaper. A．lies B．lay C．laid D．lain 【答案】B 【解析】句意：——妈妈，我找不到我的门钥匙了。——哦，当你进来的时候它躺在沙发上。看看报纸下面。 根据时间状语“when you came in”可知句子描述的是过去的状态，应用一般过去时。此处表示钥匙“躺”在沙发上，是不及物动词lie，其过去式为lay。 3．Paul is afraid of dogs, so he always runs away ________ when he sees them. A．early B．differently C．quickly D．hardly 【答案】C 【解析】句意：保罗怕狗，所以当他看到狗时，他总是快速地跑开。 early早；differently不同地；quickly快速地；hardly几乎不。根据“Paul is afraid of dogs”可知，因为害怕，所以逃跑动作应该是迅速地。应填quickly。 4．—My dream is to play in the World Cup, but many of my classmates ________ me. —Don’t lose heart. No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small. A．care about B．talk to C．smile at D．laugh at 【答案】D 【解析】句意：——我的梦想是参加世界杯，但是我的许多同学嘲笑我。——别灰心。没有哪一个梦想太大，也没有哪一个梦想者太小。 care about关心；talk to和……说话；smile at对……微笑；laugh at嘲笑……。根据答语“Don’t lose heart.”可知，说话人正处于需要鼓励的情境，说明同学的行为是负面的。结合选项，其他选项均为正面或中性含义，只有D选项符合语境。 5．It ________ me one hour and a half ________ my homework the day before yesterday. A．took; to do B．took; doing C．takes; to do D．takes; doing 【答案】A 【解析】句意：前天我花费了一个半小时做我的家庭作业。 时间状语the day before yesterday表明时态是一般过去时，动词需用过去式took；句型“It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.”表示“做某事花费某人一些时间”，It是形式主语，真正的主语用动词不定式to do。应填took；to do。 6．—Why are you so excited? —Because my parents ________ me to visit the Maritime Museum next weekend. A．promise B．promised C．will promise D．have promised 【答案】D 【解析】句意：——你为什么这么兴奋？——因为我父母已经答应我下周末去参观海事博物馆。 考查动词时态辨析。根据“so excited”可知，“答应”的动作已经发生，且对现在的情绪产生了影响，现在完成时符合语境，说明父母的承诺让“我”现在很兴奋。故选D。 7．I really can’t ________ what he said. Since last time I was cheated by him, I have no longer ________ him at all. A．believe; believe B．believe in; believed C．believe; believe in D．believe; believed in 【答案】D 【解析】句意：我真的不相信他所说的话。自从上次我被他骗了以来，我再也不信任他了。 考查动词（词组）。believe意为“相信”，多指相信某人所说的话；believe in sb意为“信任某人”。根据“what he said”可知，第一空指相信他说的话，用believe；根据第二空后的“him”可知，空处指相信他，用believe in。故选D。 8．—Look! There is a schoolbag on the playground. Do you know whose it is? —Sorry, I don’t know. Maybe ________ left it here after class. A．someone B．anyone C．everyone D．no one 【答案】A 【解析】句意：——看！操场上有一个书包。你知道它是谁的吗？——抱歉，我不知道。也许是某人下课后把它落在这里了。 someone某人；anyone任何人；everyone每个人；no one没有人。根据“Maybe...left it here after class.”可知该句为肯定句，表示猜测是“某人”落下了书包，someone常用于肯定句，anyone常用于否定句或疑问句。 9．— ________ Mr Zheng visit Beijing last week? — No, but he ________ Beijing with his son next year. A．Does; visits B．Will; will visit C．Did; visits D．Did; will visit 【答案】D 【解析】句意：——郑先生上周参观北京了吗？——没有，但他明年将和他的儿子一起去参观北京。 第一空根据时间状语last week（上周）可知句子应用一般过去时，一般疑问句借助助动词Did；第二空根据时间状语next year（明年）可知句子应用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形。应填Did；will visit。 10．Long ago, people ________ learn new things only from books and teachers, but now the Internet and AI make study easier. A．can B．could C．may D．must 【答案】B 【解析】句意：很久以前，人们只能从书本和老师那里学习新事物，但现在互联网和人工智能使学习变得更容易。 can能；could能（过去式）；may可能；must必须。根据时间状语“Long ago”可知句子描述的是过去的情况，应用一般过去时，表示过去的能力用could。 11．Rose finished her study in the university and went to ________ a good job. A．take care of B．pick up C．care for D．search for 【答案】D 【解析】句意：罗斯完成了大学学业，去找一份好工作。 take care of照顾；pick up捡起；care for关心；search for寻找。根据“Rose finished her study in the university”可知，罗斯完成了大学学业，接下来应该是寻找工作，应填search for。 12．DeepSeek is a ________ app that can translate (翻译) languages, talk with people and write songs and poems and jokes. A．natural B．cultural C．powerful D．colourful 【答案】C 【解析】句意：DeepSeek是一个强大的应用程序，它可以翻译语言、与人交谈，写歌、写诗甚至写笑话。 natural自然的；cultural文化的；powerful强大的；colourful色彩鲜艳的。“that can translate (翻译) languages, talk with people and write songs and poems and jokes.”提示，该应用具备翻译、对话及创作等多种复杂功能，说明它是功能强大的。 二、完形填空（每题1分，共8分） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 The Gift of Listening Emma received a green parrot named Kiwi for her 12th birthday. She had always wanted a pet that could talk, so she spent hours teaching Kiwi new words. But the bird would only sit quietly on his perch, looking at her with curious eyes. One afternoon, Emma’s best friend moved to another city. Feeling lonely, she sat by Kiwi’s cage and began to share her 13 . She talked about how much she missed her friend. Kiwi didn’t say a word, but he tilted his head as if (好像) he was 14 . Day after day, Emma continued talking to Kiwi. She told him about her school, her dreams, and even her little worries. Kiwi never repeated any of the words she had tried to teach him before. Instead, he would sometimes make soft sounds or 15 closer to her when she spoke. Then one evening, Emma came home from a 16 day at school. She sat down and sighed. Suddenly, Kiwi flew onto her shoulder and said gently, “It’s okay.” Emma’s eyes widened. Those were not words she had ever tried to teach him. He had 17 them from listening to her comfort herself. Emma smiled and held him carefully. She finally 18 that Kiwi had been teaching her something all along. He wasn’t there to perform tricks or repeat 19 . He was there to listen. Sometimes, the greatest 20 is not about being heard, but about knowing someone is there to hear you. 13．A．toys B．feelings C．books D．plans 14．A．playing B．sleeping C．listening D．eating 15．A．fly B．move C．walk D．jump 16．A．happy B．exciting C．hard D．free 17．A．picked up B．gave up C．looked for D．waited for 18．A．hoped B．forgot C．realized D．doubted 19．A．songs B．stories C．phrases D．questions 20．A．gift B．rule C．secret D．chance 【答案】13．B 14．C 15．B 16．C 17．A 18．C 19．C 20．A 【导语】本文讲述Emma的鹦鹉Kiwi静静听她倾诉心事，让她明白最好的礼物是倾听的故事。 【解析】13．句意：她感到孤独，坐在Kiwi的笼子旁，开始分享她的感受。 根据上文“Feeling lonely”可知她很孤独，所以是分享自己的感受，feelings“感受”符合语境。toys“玩具”、books“书”、plans“计划”均与孤独时分享的内容无关。 14．句意：Kiwi一句话也没说，但它歪着头，好像它在听。 根据上文Emma向鹦鹉倾诉感受，以及“as if”可知，鹦鹉歪着头好像是在听，listening“听”符合。playing“玩”、sleeping“睡觉”、eating“吃”均不符合语境。 15．句意：相反，当她说话时，他有时会发出轻柔的声音，或者向她靠近。 根据“closer to her”可知是向她靠近，move“移动”符合。fly“飞”一般指在空中飞，此处用move更合适；walk“走”、jump“跳”均不如move能准确表达向她靠近的意思。 16．句意：然后一天晚上，Emma在学校度过了艰难的一天后回到家。 根据下文“She sat down and sighed.”可知她叹气，说明在学校过得不好，hard“艰难的”符合。happy“开心的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”、free“空闲的”均不符合语境。 17．句意：他是通过听她安慰自己而学会的。 根据“from listening to her comfort herself”可知是通过听她安慰自己而学会的，picked up有“学会”的意思，符合语境。gave up“放弃”、looked for“寻找”、waited for“等待”均不符合。 18．句意：她终于意识到Kiwi一直在教她一些东西。 根据上文鹦鹉安慰她以及后文她明白的道理，可知这里是她意识到鹦鹉一直在教她东西，realized“意识到”符合。hoped“希望”、forgot“忘记”、doubted“怀疑”均不符合。 19．句意：他不是来表演技巧或重复短语的。 根据上文Emma一直教鹦鹉说话，可知这里说的是鹦鹉不是来重复短语的，phrases“短语”符合。songs“歌曲”、stories“故事”、questions“问题”均不符合语境。 20．句意：有时候，最棒的礼物不是被倾听，而是知道有人愿意倾听你。 根据文章标题“The Gift of Listening”以及全文内容可知，这里说的是最棒的礼物，gift“礼物”符合。rule“规则”、secret“秘密”、chance“机会”均不符合。 三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分） （一） A 阅读以上书评，根据每个人的喜好，选择最佳选项。 Book Reviews 21 I’m John.

We had to show our project about an Australian animal today, but I left the project poster on my desk. When I realized I didn’t have it, I was halfway to school. I ran home to pick up the poster and then hurried to school. Luckily, I got there in time for my first class, just before the teacher arrived! Our project show was about koalas. I gave the show together with David and Jenny. They are my best friends, so it’s easy to work with them. The show went very well, and our classmates really liked it. Everyone loved the koala pictures on the poster! I was in a great mood, and I didn’t even mind that the next lesson was Math, a subject I’m not good at. The weather was really nice, so I ate my lunch outside. My mum always packs a lunch box for me. Today, I had an egg sandwich and a banana. The rest of the day flew by. In the afternoon, I had art. Our class painted different Australian animals on a big wall. It’s going to look really cool when it’s finished. Jenny, David and I wanted to celebrate our success, so we went to the ice cream shop after school. Although with a rocky start, it still was the best day of the week! 24．What was their project about? A．Art painting. B．Australian animals. C．Math problems. D．Australian food. 25．Why did the writer run back home in the morning? A．Because he missed the school bus. B．Because he wanted to have breakfast. C．Because he left his project poster at home. D．Because he didn’t want to go to school. 26．What does rocky in the last paragraph mean? A．Fresh. B．Happy. C．Boring. D．Hard. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．D 【导语】这是一篇日记，讲述作者这天一早差点忘带项目海报，及时取回后顺利完成考拉主题展示，在校生活充实有趣，放学后和好友庆祝，开局不顺却收获美好的一天。 【解析】24．根据文章第一段第二句“We had to show our project about an Australian animal today”以及第二段第一句“Our project show was about koalas.”可知，他们的项目是关于澳大利亚动物的。 25．根据文章第一段第二句“but I left the project poster on my desk”以及第四句“I ran home to pick up the poster”可知，作者早上跑回家是因为把项目海报忘在家里了。 26．根据文章第一段首句“The day didn’t begin well.”以及最后一段最后一句“Although with a rocky start, it still was the best day of the week!”可知，前后文形成转折，且呼应开头提到的不顺利的经历（忘带海报、匆忙跑回家等），因此rocky在此处意为“艰难的、充满困难的”。选项 D (Hard) 符合语境。 C We all know that a late-night coffee is a bad idea if you want a good night’s sleep. But could your whole day’s diet also affect how well you rest? Well, a new study from the University of Tsukuba in Japan has found that what we eat may affect how we sleep. Different nutrients (营养物质), such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and fiber (纤维), might affect our sleep, suggesting that changing our diet could be a way to sleep better. The study looked at the diets and sleep patterns of almost 5,000 people. The data was collected by asking people to use two apps—Asken, where users record what they ate during the day, and Pokemon Sleep, which records sleep habits. The researchers looked at the people’s sleep time, how long it took to fall asleep, and how often they woke up at night. Then, they compared this information with what people were eating. The study found that people who ate more protein (蛋白质) slept about 10 minutes longer than those who ate less. On the other hand, people who ate more fats slept for a shorter time and woke up more often at night. Those with a diet high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) were less likely to wake up during the night, while people having more fiber fell asleep faster and slept longer. And a diet high in sodium—from salty foods—and low in potassium—found in fruits and vegetables—was linked (联系) with poorer sleep. Of course, the study isn’t perfect. It doesn’t show that diet directly causes these changes. And some other things, such as how much soft drinks people drink or their stress levels, weren’t included. But it does suggest that what we eat could play an important role in sleep health. So if you’re having trouble getting to sleep at night, instead of counting sheep, maybe it’s time to start thinking about the nutrients you ate during the day! 27．According to the passage, what can affect people’s sleep? A．Sleeping habits. B．Sleeping places. C．The diet of a person. D．The order of eating. 28．What can we learn from the passage? A．Having more fiber makes people likely to have a good rest B．Eating more fats may help a person get a good night’s sleep C．A diet high in protein is more likely linked with poorer sleep D．A diet high in carbohydrates may make people wake up often. 29．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage us to change our eating habits B．To remind us to pay attention to our diet. C．To share some advice on getting healthy. D．To compare nutrients’ effects on health. 【答案】27．C 28．A 29．B 【导语】本文通过日本筑波大学的研究，揭示了日常饮食中不同营养素与睡眠质量之间的关联，指出均衡摄入特定营养素可能改善睡眠 27．推理判断题。文章开篇提出饮食可能影响睡眠的疑问，并通过日本研究证实不同营养素与睡眠质量相关，因此饮食是主要影响因素。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据“while people having more fiber fell asleep faster and slept longer.”可知，摄入更多纤维的人入睡更快，睡眠时间也更长，故选A。 29．主旨大意题。根据“So if you’re having trouble getting to sleep at night, instead of counting sheep, maybe it’s time to start thinking about the nutrients you ate during the day!”及全文的内容可知，全文通过研究数据说明饮食与睡眠的关联，结尾建议失眠者“思考每日营养摄入”，核心目的是提醒关注饮食对睡眠的影响。故选B。 D China’s pet market is changing and growing fast! People don’t just love dogs and cats any more. More and more people are getting interested in exotic pets like reptiles (爬行动物), fish and some special birds. According to a report, more people are keeping reptiles and water pets. The number of people with reptiles went up by 2.9% and now 11.3% of pet owners have reptiles. The number of people with water pets grew by 0.6% to 13.4%. Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too. It was very difficult for people to see these birds in China. Now, for rich pet lovers, having one is like showing off a cool toy. A young macaw can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a pair that can have babies can cost over 100,000 yuan! As the pet market gets more grown-up, it’s moving from just getting bigger to getting better. Pet owners want higher-quality products (产品) and better service (服务). This change is making the industry (产业) come up with new ideas. Young businessmen (商人) are bringing fresh ideas. For example, Mars Supermarket, started by people born in the 1990s, and Petlift, a big pet sending service with over 200 vehicles, are new ways of doing business in the pet world. Pet shows are also very important. In 2024, there were over 80 pet shows in China. The Pet Fair Beijing was among the biggest ones. It helped pet businesses show new products, share ideas and make friends. Even though there are problems, experts think the pet industry will do well. 30．Which of the following is an example of an exotic pet? A．A cute cat. B．A strong dog. C．A colorful macaw. D．A friendly rabbit. 31．The writer uses the examples of Mars Supermarket and Petlift to show that ________. A．the pet market is getting bigger in China B．we can buy special pets in supermarkets C．we can take good care of our pets in many ways D．young businessmen bring new ideas to the pet industry 32．Which methods does the writer use in Paragraph 2? ①Giving examples. ②Asking questions. ③Telling stories. ④Using numbers. A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 33．What is the best title for this passage? A．The needs for pets among the young. B．The changes in Chinese pet industry. C．The popular pets among old people. D．The ways of making friends with pets. 【答案】30．C 31．D 32．D 33．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国宠物市场正在快速变化。 30．细节理解题。根据“More and more people are getting interested in exotic pets like reptiles (爬行动物), fish and some special birds.”以及“Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too. It was very difficult for people to see these birds in China”可知越来越多的人对爬行动物、鱼类和一些特殊鸟类等特殊宠物感兴趣，所以色彩鲜艳的金刚鹦鹉属于特殊宠物。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据“This change is making the industry (产业) come up with new ideas. Young businessmen (商人) are bringing fresh ideas”可知作者举这两个例子是为了说明年轻商人给宠物产业带来新思路。故选D。 32．推理判断题。根据“The number of people with reptiles went up by 2.9% and now 11.3% of pet owners have reptiles. The number of people with water pets grew by 0.6% to 13.4%. Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too...”可知在第二段，作者列出了具体数字并给出了金刚鹦鹉、太阳鹦鹉等昂贵鸟类实例。故选D。 33．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了中国宠物市场正在快速变化，以选项B“中国宠物行业的变化”为标题最合适。故选B。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Wondering the best time to visit Edinburgh?

We had to show our project about an Australian animal today, but I left the project poster on my desk. When I realized I didn’t have it, I was halfway to school. I ran home to pick up the poster and then hurried to school. Luckily, I got there in time for my first class, just before the teacher arrived! Our project show was about koalas. I gave the show together with David and Jenny. They are my best friends, so it’s easy to work with them. The show went very well, and our classmates really liked it. Everyone loved the koala pictures on the poster! I was in a great mood, and I didn’t even mind that the next lesson was Math, a subject I’m not good at. The weather was really nice, so I ate my lunch outside. My mum always packs a lunch box for me. Today, I had an egg sandwich and a banana. The rest of the day flew by. In the afternoon, I had art. Our class painted different Australian animals on a big wall. It’s going to look really cool when it’s finished. Jenny, David and I wanted to celebrate our success, so we went to the ice cream shop after school. Although with a rocky start, it still was the best day of the week! 24．What was their project about? A．Art painting. B．Australian animals. C．Math problems. D．Australian food. 25．Why did the writer run back home in the morning? A．Because he missed the school bus. B．Because he wanted to have breakfast. C．Because he left his project poster at home. D．Because he didn’t want to go to school. 26．What does rocky in the last paragraph mean? A．Fresh. B．Happy. C．Boring. D．Hard. C We all know that a late-night coffee is a bad idea if you want a good night’s sleep. But could your whole day’s diet also affect how well you rest? Well, a new study from the University of Tsukuba in Japan has found that what we eat may affect how we sleep. Different nutrients (营养物质), such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and fiber (纤维), might affect our sleep, suggesting that changing our diet could be a way to sleep better. The study looked at the diets and sleep patterns of almost 5,000 people. The data was collected by asking people to use two apps—Asken, where users record what they ate during the day, and Pokemon Sleep, which records sleep habits. The researchers looked at the people’s sleep time, how long it took to fall asleep, and how often they woke up at night. Then, they compared this information with what people were eating. The study found that people who ate more protein (蛋白质) slept about 10 minutes longer than those who ate less. On the other hand, people who ate more fats slept for a shorter time and woke up more often at night. Those with a diet high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) were less likely to wake up during the night, while people having more fiber fell asleep faster and slept longer. And a diet high in sodium—from salty foods—and low in potassium—found in fruits and vegetables—was linked (联系) with poorer sleep. Of course, the study isn’t perfect. It doesn’t show that diet directly causes these changes. And some other things, such as how much soft drinks people drink or their stress levels, weren’t included. But it does suggest that what we eat could play an important role in sleep health. So if you’re having trouble getting to sleep at night, instead of counting sheep, maybe it’s time to start thinking about the nutrients you ate during the day! 27．According to the passage, what can affect people’s sleep? A．Sleeping habits. B．Sleeping places. C．The diet of a person. D．The order of eating. 28．What can we learn from the passage? A．Having more fiber makes people likely to have a good rest B．Eating more fats may help a person get a good night’s sleep C．A diet high in protein is more likely linked with poorer sleep D．A diet high in carbohydrates may make people wake up often. 29．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage us to change our eating habits B．To remind us to pay attention to our diet. C．To share some advice on getting healthy. D．To compare nutrients’ effects on health. D China’s pet market is changing and growing fast! People don’t just love dogs and cats any more. More and more people are getting interested in exotic pets like reptiles (爬行动物), fish and some special birds. According to a report, more people are keeping reptiles and water pets. The number of people with reptiles went up by 2.9% and now 11.3% of pet owners have reptiles. The number of people with water pets grew by 0.6% to 13.4%. Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too. It was very difficult for people to see these birds in China. Now, for rich pet lovers, having one is like showing off a cool toy. A young macaw can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a pair that can have babies can cost over 100,000 yuan! As the pet market gets more grown-up, it’s moving from just getting bigger to getting better. Pet owners want higher-quality products (产品) and better service (服务). This change is making the industry (产业) come up with new ideas. Young businessmen (商人) are bringing fresh ideas. For example, Mars Supermarket, started by people born in the 1990s, and Petlift, a big pet sending service with over 200 vehicles, are new ways of doing business in the pet world. Pet shows are also very important. In 2024, there were over 80 pet shows in China. The Pet Fair Beijing was among the biggest ones. It helped pet businesses show new products, share ideas and make friends. Even though there are problems, experts think the pet industry will do well. 30．Which of the following is an example of an exotic pet? A．A cute cat. B．A strong dog. C．A colorful macaw. D．A friendly rabbit. 31．The writer uses the examples of Mars Supermarket and Petlift to show that ________. A．the pet market is getting bigger in China B．we can buy special pets in supermarkets C．we can take good care of our pets in many ways D．young businessmen bring new ideas to the pet industry 32．Which methods does the writer use in Paragraph 2? ①Giving examples. ②Asking questions. ③Telling stories. ④Using numbers. A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 33．What is the best title for this passage? A．The needs for pets among the young. B．The changes in Chinese pet industry. C．The popular pets among old people. D．The ways of making friends with pets. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Wondering the best time to visit Edinburgh? Absolutely August! Every August, Edinburgh hosts a three-week art festival—the Edinburgh International Festival Established in 1947, it’s one of the world’s oldest and largest international art festivals. During this time, Edinburgh becomes the “Capital of Art Festivals”. This year, its theme is “The Truth We Seek”, and on March 13th, the full list of 133 performances from August 1st to 24th was announced (宣布), including 7 world premieres (全球首演) by world-famous theaters. Among these performances, the opera “Shan Hai Jing (山海经)” is a must-see. It was inspired by ancient Chinese myths like “Pangu Creating the World (盘古开天地)” and “Kuafu Chasing the Sun (夸父追日)”. Huang Ruo, a rising star in the world of opera, wrote the music. In 2022 when Shan Hai Jing made its premiere, it made a splash in the opera world. What is really special is that the opera is directed (导演) by British puppet designer and puppeteer (木偶戏演员) Basil Twist. The opera uses puppets to vividly tell the stories of Pangu, Kuafu, Jingwei, and Houyi. It is a creative mixture of music and puppetry, exploring the complex relationship between humans and nature. Most of the music consists of percussion (打击乐) and vocals, with lyrics in Mandarin (普通话). It will be performed from August 14th to 16th. In short, August in Edinburgh is full of cultural surprises, making it the best time to visit. 34．The Edinburgh International Festival lasts for three weeks, doesn’t it? 35．What is the theme of this year’s Edinburgh International Festival? 36．When did Shan Hai Jing make a splash in the opera world? 37．What do you think is the best way to make the Chinese myth—Chang’e Flying to the Moon go to the world and why? 五、文段表达（10分） 故事如同一盏明灯，照亮我们的心灵；如同一把钥匙，打开思考的大门。你是否曾被某个故事深深吸引，从中收获智慧与成长？请从下面两个经典故事中选择一个，以“My Favorite Story”为题，写一篇不少于100词的英语作文，让我们一起走进你喜爱的故事世界吧！ ①The Fisherman and the Golden Fish    ②The Emperor’s New Clothes ③The Ugly Duckling 要点：(1) 介绍故事梗概 (2) 介绍阅读感受 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年七年级下册英语单元自测 Unit 8 Once upon a Time 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：60分） 第一部分 一、单项填空（每题0.5分，共6分） 从下面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1．I like reading and I spend much money on books although I’m not ________.
