第一部分 选择题(共50分)
一、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分;满分40分)
第一节 阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Fresh water has lower salinity (saltiness) than estuarine water, which is found in estuaries where the ocean and river mix. The ocean itself is the saltiest of all. But even so, some parts of the ocean are saltier than others.
Like temperature, the amount of salt in the ocean also affects ocean currents. Saltier water is denser than less-salty water. That means that saltier water will sink below water that’s less salty. The sinking of cold and salty water in certain places helps drive ocean currents and the movement of heat on the earth. These places include the North Atlantic and some areas near the coast of Antarctica.
1. According to the text, the water ________ is the least salty.
A. in the estuary B. in the river C. in the ocean D. in the North Atlantic
2. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Temperature doesn’t affect ocean currents.
B. Saltier water is lighter than less-salty water.
C. Saltier water will sink below less-salty water.
D. The salinity in different parts of the ocean is the same.
3. Which of the following helps drive ocean currents according to the text?
A. The rising of warm water. B. The sinking of cold and salty water.
C. The movement of rivers into estuaries. D. The mixing of freshwater and sea water.
4. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A geography textbook. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A novel about science. D. A weather report.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A

【导语】本文是一篇地理说明文,主要介绍了河流、河口、海洋三类水域的盐度差异,说明了盐度对海水密度的影响,以及冷咸海水下沉对洋流的驱动作用。
【1题详解】
第一段“Fresh water has lower salinity than estuarine water...The ocean itself is the saltiest of all”,盐度排序为河流水<河口水<海水,因此盐度最低的是河流水。
【2题详解】
第二段“Saltier water is denser than less-salty water. That means that saltier water will sink below water that’s less salty.”,C选项直接与原文表述一致,说明高盐度水会下沉到低盐度水之下。其他选项均与原文事实相反 (温度会影响洋流、盐水更重而非更轻、海洋各部分盐度不相同)。
【3题详解】
第二段“The sinking of cold and salty water in certain places helps drive ocean currents and the movement of heat on the earth.”,寒冷且盐度高的水下沉是驱动洋流的原因之一。
【4题详解】
文中涉及“salinity”“ocean currents”“density”等术语,并以客观事实阐述地理/海洋学知识。这类内容最常见于地理教材。

What can you do with 20 dollars? Buy a few snacks or maybe a movie ticket? In Kristina Ulmer’s classroom, 20 dollars can buy something far more powerful — a lesson in kindness that lasts a lifetime.
Ulmer, a high school English teacher in Pennsylvania, was heartbroken when her sister, Katie, died in a car accident. A police officer returned her sister’s purse to Ulmer, and inside the purse was 100 dollars. “Katie was always doing something to help people,” Ulmer said, “so I knew the money had to be used for good.” But what could she do?
Then in 2018, she had an idea. “It popped into my head that I could have my students do acts of kindness with my sister’s money when we were reading Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451,” she said. She took Katie’s money, added funds out of her own pocket and gave each of her students 20 dollars. Then she asked them to do an act of kindness in honour of Katie.
The project became known as the “$20 Challenge”. The students loved the idea. They used the money to do kind things for others and help people in need.
After the first year, the community began to donate to the challenge, which allowed Ulmer to continue it year after year.
As of last autumn, Ulmer’s students have done over 350 acts of kindness in memory of her sister. While the challenge has helped many people, Ulmer has seen how the experience has changed her students.
Ulmer continues to teach her students a valuable lesson: Kindness doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be shared and passed down.
5. Why does the writer mention “snacks” and “a movie ticket” at the beginning of the passage?
A. To introduce people’s habits of spending money.
B. To show how little 20 dollars can buy in daily life.
C. To compare with the project’s greater influence.
D. To explain why people need to save money.
6. Why did Ulmer start the “$20 Challenge”?
A. To help her students make more friends. B. To remember her sister by doing good.
C. To collect money for the community. D. To teach her students how to manage money.
7. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “popped into my head” in Paragraph 3?
A. Was remembered quickly. B. Suddenly came to mind.
C. Was hit on the head. D. Went out of mind.
8. What is the best title for this passage?
A. A Teacher’s Sad Story B. Spending Money Wisely
C. Passing on Kindness D. Reading in the Classroom
【答案】5. C 6. B 7. B 8. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了教师Kristina Ulmer为纪念因车祸去世的妹妹,发起“20美元挑战”项目,用妹妹留下的钱让学生践行善意,传递爱心的故事。
【5题详解】
文章开头提到“20 美元能买零食或电影票吗?”,紧接着指出在 Ulmer 的课堂上“20 美元能买到更强大的东西”,作者通过列举日常消费与项目影响的对比,突出了该慈善项目产生的深远意义。
【6题详解】
根据第二段“Katie was always doing something to help people…so I knew the money had to be used for good”以及第三段“do an act of kindness in honour of Katie”可知,Ulmer发起挑战是为了纪念去世的妹妹,并通过行善来延续她的爱心。
【7题详解】
根据上下文“Then in 2018, she had an idea. ‘It popped into my head that...’”可知,此处指她突然想到了一个主意,“Suddenly came to mind”意为“突然出现在脑海中”,与划线短语意思相近。
【8题详解】
文章主要讲述了 Ulmer 老师通过“20 美元挑战”让学生行善纪念妹妹,并在结尾强调“Kindness doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be shared and passed down”(善意无需宏大,只需分享和传承)。选项 C“传递善意”最能概括文章中心主题。
C
Plastic pollution is a big problem. But what if plastic could come from plants and disappear like leaves? Scientists are turning this idea into reality with bioplastics, mainly made from all kinds of plants.
Traditional plastic is made from oil and can last for centuries. Bioplastics, however, are different. They are made from plant sugars. Under the right conditions, some can break down in commercial composters within months, not centuries.
The most common type, called PLA, is made from corn. It’s already used in some water bottles, food boxes, and 3D printing. Another useful type is PHA. It is made when tiny organisms eat sugars from plants. PHA can break down naturally in many places—even in the sea, and it breaks down much faster than other materials.
Bioplastics sound perfect, but they aren’t a magic solution yet. First, growing crops for plastic might compete with land for food. Second, most bioplastics need high-temperature industrial composters to break down. If thrown into a forest or regular recycling, they may still cause the same pollution. Third, the production process still requires lots of energy.
The real future may depend on “next-generation” bioplastics. Researchers are trying to use plants that aren’t grown for food, like switchgrass, or waste things like food scraps. The goal is to get a strong material that can truly break down anywhere and won’t harm food safety.
“Bioplastics are a step in the right direction, but they are not the finish line,” says Dr Emma Green, a materials scientist. “The best solution is still to reduce our overall use of single-use items, whether they’re made from oil or corn.”
9. What are bioplastics made from?
A. Oil. B. Plant sugars. C. Oil-based materials. D. Food scraps.
10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The future of bioplastics. B. The problems of bioplastics. C. The production process of bioplastics. D. The different types of bioplastics.
11. Which of the following is TRUE about “next-generation” bioplastics?
A. They are already widely used today.
B. They are made from crops like corn.
C. They are expected to break down anywhere.
D. They can only break down in composters.
12. What is the writer’s attitude towards bioplastics?
A. He fully supports them and thinks they are perfect.
B. He is against them and thinks they are useless.
C. He sees both their good and bad sides.
D. He is unsure and doesn’t give any clear opinion.
【答案】9. B 10. B 11. C 12. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了生物塑料的原材料来源、优势,并客观探讨了其目前面临的生产与降解瓶颈,以及未来“下一代”技术的发展方向。
【9题详解】
第二段第二句明确指出了生物塑料的原材料来源:“They are made from plant sugars.”,即它是用植物糖分制成的。
【10题详解】
第四段首句点明段落核心:“Bioplastics sound perfect, but they aren’t a magic solution yet.”,随后通过“First”、“Second”和“Third”分别论述了它在土地竞争、工业降解环境要求以及生产能耗这三个方面存在的问题。
【11题详解】
第五段最后一句指出了科学家研发“下一代”生物塑料的目标:“The goal is to get a strong material that can truly break down anywhere and won’t harm food safety.”,说明它被期望能在任何地方实现降解。
【12题详解】
通读全文,作者在文章前半部分肯定了生物塑料可降解、低碳的环保优势,但在后半段客观分析了其“还不是完美方案”的局限,并在结尾借科学家之口指出这只是“正确方向上的一步”,说明作者对其持客观、理性的双重态度,看清了其利弊两面。
D
Have you noticed that the picture of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), looks different in today’s history textbooks? For many years, students saw him with a “shoehorn face”, which means he had a chin that stuck out and long, narrow cheeks. Now, he looks more serious and handsome in the picture.
This change isn’t brand new. The new picture has been used in high school textbooks since 2019, and it was added to Grade 7 textbooks in 2024.
There are two different images of Zhu in history. One is called the zhengxing portrait, showing him with a round face and a calm expression. The other is the yixing portrait, showing a sticking-out chin, a narrow face and many dark spots.
Historians, after much research, believe the zhengxing portrait is closer to how Zhu really looked. This idea is supported by family traits, as his son, Zhu Di, also had a round face.
Why are there two types of portraits? Professor Jin Wen from Nanjing Normal University explains that the yixing portrait became popular because of ancient beliefs. People thought that if a ruler looked unusual, it was a sign from heaven, making them trust the ruler more. To satisfy public curiosity, Zhu himself also encouraged this unusual image. Some studies suggest he did this to protect himself by not making his real look public.
Today, not only textbooks but also the portraits at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Museum in Nanjing show the zhengxing portrait. Many visitors support this change. It isn’t just about making the emperor look better; it also helps young people think more critically about history. “Using the correct pictures shows respect for historical figures and helps teach history correctly,” said Professor Lin Wei from Zhejiang University.
13. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By showing a picture.
14. What does Zhu Yuanzhang look like in new textbooks?
A. He has a square face. B. He has a long and narrow face.
C. He has a round face and looks serious. D. He has many dark spots on his face.
15. Why did the yixing portrait become popular in history?
A. Because it was easy to draw. B. Because it was the only painting style.
C. Because it matched old beliefs about rulers. D. Because it was drawn by famous artists.
16. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The students don’t care what Zhu Yuanzhang looked like.
B. Most visitors dislike the new portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang.
C. Using correct pictures shows respect for historical facts.
D. The change was made only to make Zhu look better.
【答案】13. B 14. C 15. C 16. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了朱元璋画像在历史教科书中的变化,分析了两种画像类型及其背后的历史原因。
【13题详解】
第一段以问题“Have you noticed that...looks different in today’s history textbooks?”开头,引出话题。
【14题详解】
第一段指出新版教科书中的朱元璋“looks more serious and handsome”,第二段指出zhengxing portrait为“round face”,因此新版为圆脸且严肃。
【15题详解】
第五段指出:“the yixing portrait became popular because of ancient beliefs. People thought that if a ruler looked unusual, it was a sign from heaven”,说明异形画像因符合古代信仰而流行。
【16题详解】
最后一段指出:“Using the correct pictures shows respect for historical figures and helps teach history correctly”,说明使用正确画像是对历史的尊重。

四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41-43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分;满分10分)
Learning a new language can feel like climbing a high mountain. Every new word, grammar rule, and cultural fact brings you one step closer to mastering the language. Many people want to be correct all the time. They feel afraid to make mistakes because they don’t want to lose face. But mistakes are not problems—they can help you learn.
Fear is often the biggest difficulty in learning a new language. Many learners are afraid of sounding silly, not being understood, or having native speakers say bad things about them. Because of this fear, they may stop speaking, and this slows their learning.
Think about how children learn their first language. They say words in the wrong way, they make mistakes in grammar, and they do not feel shy. These mistakes help them improve. We can learn in the same way.
When you say a word in the wrong way, ask someone to tell you the right way. When you use the wrong grammar, remember it and try again. Every mistake teaches you something.
Mistakes can also bring something fun and unexpected. You may use a word in the wrong way and make people laugh. Or you may not understand something and start an interesting conversation about culture. These moments can make learning fun and special.
Learning a language is like a journey. There will be hard times and wrong turns. But these hard parts make the journey exciting.
41. What is the biggest difficulty in learning a new language?
____________________________________________________________
42. What do children usually do when they learn their first language?
____________________________________________________________
43. What good things can happen when we make mistakes? (Give one example.)
____________________________________________________________
44. Do you think making mistakes is helpful when learning a new language? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.
____________________________________________________________
【答案】41. Fear.
42. They say words in the wrong way, make mistakes in grammar, and do not feel shy.
43. We may use a word in the wrong way and make people laugh./It may start an interesting conversation about culture.
44. Yes, I think making mistakes is helpful. When we make mistakes, we learn what is wrong and how to do better. Mistakes also make learning more interesting and fun. Without mistakes, we cannot improve.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过将学习语言比作爬山和旅程,阐述了犯错在语言学习中的积极作用,指出恐惧是最大的障碍,鼓励学习者克服恐惧,在错误中成长并享受学习过程。

(本试卷共45小题 满分90分 考试时长90分钟)
考生注意:所有试题必须在答题卡指定区域内作答,在本试卷上作答无效
第一部分 选择题(共50分)
一、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分;满分40分)
第一节 阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Fresh water has lower salinity (saltiness) than estuarine water, which is found in estuaries where the ocean and river mix. The ocean itself is the saltiest of all. But even so, some parts of the ocean are saltier than others.
Like temperature, the amount of salt in the ocean also affects ocean currents. Saltier water is denser than less-salty water. That means that saltier water will sink below water that’s less salty. The sinking of cold and salty water in certain places helps drive ocean currents and the movement of heat on the earth. These places include the North Atlantic and some areas near the coast of Antarctica.
1. According to the text, the water ________ is the least salty.
A. in the estuary B. in the river C. in the ocean D. in the North Atlantic
2. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Temperature doesn’t affect ocean currents.
B. Saltier water is lighter than less-salty water.
C. Saltier water will sink below less-salty water.
D. The salinity in different parts of the ocean is the same.
3. Which of the following helps drive ocean currents according to the text?
A. The rising of warm water. B. The sinking of cold and salty water.
C. The movement of rivers into estuaries. D. The mixing of freshwater and sea water.
4. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A geography textbook. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A novel about science. D. A weather report.
B
What can you do with 20 dollars? Buy a few snacks or maybe a movie ticket? In Kristina Ulmer’s classroom, 20 dollars can buy something far more powerful — a lesson in kindness that lasts a lifetime.
Ulmer, a high school English teacher in Pennsylvania, was heartbroken when her sister, Katie, died in a car accident. A police officer returned her sister’s purse to Ulmer, and inside the purse was 100 dollars. “Katie was always doing something to help people,” Ulmer said, “so I knew the money had to be used for good.” But what could she do?
Then in 2018, she had an idea. “It popped into my head that I could have my students do acts of kindness with my sister’s money when we were reading Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451,” she said. She took Katie’s money, added funds out of her own pocket and gave each of her students 20 dollars. Then she asked them to do an act of kindness in honour of Katie.
The project became known as the “$20 Challenge”. The students loved the idea. They used the money to do kind things for others and help people in need.
After the first year, the community began to donate to the challenge, which allowed Ulmer to continue it year after year.
As of last autumn, Ulmer’s students have done over 350 acts of kindness in memory of her sister. While the challenge has helped many people, Ulmer has seen how the experience has changed her students.
Ulmer continues to teach her students a valuable lesson: Kindness doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be shared and passed down.
5. Why does the writer mention “snacks” and “a movie ticket” at the beginning of the passage?
A. To introduce people’s habits of spending money.
B. To show how little 20 dollars can buy in daily life.
C. To compare with the project’s greater influence.
D. To explain why people need to save money.
6. Why did Ulmer start the “$20 Challenge”?
A. To help her students make more friends. B. To remember her sister by doing good.
C. To collect money for the community. D. To teach her students how to manage money.
7. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “popped into my head” in Paragraph 3?
A. Was remembered quickly. B. Suddenly came to mind.
C. Was hit on the head. D. Went out of mind.
8. What is the best title for this passage?
A. A Teacher’s Sad Story B. Spending Money Wisely
C. Passing on Kindness D. Reading in the Classroom
C
Plastic pollution is a big problem. But what if plastic could come from plants and disappear like leaves? Scientists are turning this idea into reality with bioplastics, mainly made from all kinds of plants.
Traditional plastic is made from oil and can last for centuries. Bioplastics, however, are different. They are made from plant sugars. Under the right conditions, some can break down in commercial composters within months, not centuries.
The most common type, called PLA, is made from corn. It’s already used in some water bottles, food boxes, and 3D printing. Another useful type is PHA. It is made when tiny organisms eat sugars from plants. PHA can break down naturally in many places—even in the sea, and it breaks down much faster than other materials.
Bioplastics sound perfect, but they aren’t a magic solution yet. First, growing crops for plastic might compete with land for food. Second, most bioplastics need high-temperature industrial composters to break down. If thrown into a forest or regular recycling, they may still cause the same pollution. Third, the production process still requires lots of energy.
The real future may depend on “next-generation” bioplastics. Researchers are trying to use plants that aren’t grown for food, like switchgrass, or waste things like food scraps. The goal is to get a strong material that can truly break down anywhere and won’t harm food safety.
“Bioplastics are a step in the right direction, but they are not the finish line,” says Dr Emma Green, a materials scientist. “The best solution is still to reduce our overall use of single-use items, whether they’re made from oil or corn.”
9. What are bioplastics made from?
A. Oil. B. Plant sugars. C. Oil-based materials. D. Food scraps.
10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The future of bioplastics. B. The problems of bioplastics. C. The production process of bioplastics. D. The different types of bioplastics.
11. Which of the following is TRUE about “next-generation” bioplastics?
A. They are already widely used today.
B. They are made from crops like corn.
C. They are expected to break down anywhere.
D. They can only break down in composters.
12. What is the writer’s attitude towards bioplastics?
A. He fully supports them and thinks they are perfect.
B. He is against them and thinks they are useless.
C. He sees both their good and bad sides.
D. He is unsure and doesn’t give any clear opinion.
D
Have you noticed that the picture of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), looks different in today’s history textbooks? For many years, students saw him with a “shoehorn face”, which means he had a chin that stuck out and long, narrow cheeks. Now, he looks more serious and handsome in the picture.
This change isn’t brand new. The new picture has been used in high school textbooks since 2019, and it was added to Grade 7 textbooks in 2024.
There are two different images of Zhu in history. One is called the zhengxing portrait, showing him with a round face and a calm expression. The other is the yixing portrait, showing a sticking-out chin, a narrow face and many dark spots.
Historians, after much research, believe the zhengxing portrait is closer to how Zhu really looked. This idea is supported by family traits, as his son, Zhu Di, also had a round face.
Why are there two types of portraits? Professor Jin Wen from Nanjing Normal University explains that the yixing portrait became popular because of ancient beliefs. People thought that if a ruler looked unusual, it was a sign from heaven, making them trust the ruler more. To satisfy public curiosity, Zhu himself also encouraged this unusual image. Some studies suggest he did this to protect himself by not making his real look public.
Today, not only textbooks but also the portraits at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Museum in Nanjing show the zhengxing portrait. Many visitors support this change. It isn’t just about making the emperor look better; it also helps young people think more critically about history. “Using the correct pictures shows respect for historical figures and helps teach history correctly,” said Professor Lin Wei from Zhejiang University.
13. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By showing a picture.
14. What does Zhu Yuanzhang look like in new textbooks?
A. He has a square face. B. He has a long and narrow face.
C. He has a round face and looks serious. D. He has many dark spots on his face.
15. Why did the yixing portrait become popular in history?
A. Because it was easy to draw. B. Because it was the only painting style.
C. Because it matched old beliefs about rulers. D. Because it was drawn by famous artists.
16. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The students don’t care what Zhu Yuanzhang looked like.
B. Most visitors dislike the new portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang.
C. Using correct pictures shows respect for historical facts.
D. The change was made only to make Zhu look better.

Learning a new language can feel like climbing a high mountain. Every new word, grammar rule, and cultural fact brings you one step closer to mastering the language. Many people want to be correct all the time. They feel afraid to make mistakes because they don’t want to lose face. But mistakes are not problems—they can help you learn.
Fear is often the biggest difficulty in learning a new language. Many learners are afraid of sounding silly, not being understood, or having native speakers say bad things about them. Because of this fear, they may stop speaking, and this slows their learning.
Think about how children learn their first language. They say words in the wrong way, they make mistakes in grammar, and they do not feel shy. These mistakes help them improve. We can learn in the same way.
When you say a word in the wrong way, ask someone to tell you the right way. When you use the wrong grammar, remember it and try again. Every mistake teaches you something.
Mistakes can also bring something fun and unexpected. You may use a word in the wrong way and make people laugh. Or you may not understand something and start an interesting conversation about culture. These moments can make learning fun and special.
Learning a language is like a journey. There will be hard times and wrong turns. But these hard parts make the journey exciting.
41. What is the biggest difficulty in learning a new language?
____________________________________________________________
42. What do children usually do when they learn their first language?
____________________________________________________________
43. What good things can happen when we make mistakes? (Give one example.)
____________________________________________________________
44. Do you think making mistakes is helpful when learning a new language? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.
