My name is Ahmed. I’m from Egypt. Last year, I had the chance to study in Canada for six months. It was my first time 21 a Western country, and I learned many valuable lessons about cultural differences.
Before I left, my mother gave me some 22 : “Always be polite and respect others, even if things seem strange to you.” I kept her words in my heart.
When I arrived in Toronto, everything felt so 23 . The weather was much colder than Cairo. People dressed differently and spoke English so fast. At first, I felt 24 and missed my family terribly.
The biggest challenge was the 25 . In Egypt, we eat with our hands or use bread to pick up food. Using a knife and fork was very difficult for me. I made a mess several times and felt 26 . But my host family was very patient. They encouraged me and even 27 me how to use them properly.
Another interesting thing was 28 . In Canada, people often say “sorry” and “thank you” many times a day. They also hold doors open for strangers. In Egypt, we are also polite, but in different ways. I learned that 29 cultures have different ways of showing respect.
By the end of my stay, I felt much more comfortable. I made good friends and even learned to love poutine, a Canadian dish! This experience taught me that although we come from different 30 , we share the same human feelings. I hope to visit more countries in the future.

Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is “kiki” and which one is “bouba”? This is part of a famous bouba-kiki experiment done in both America and India.
In the experiment, people were shown two drawings. One had a rounded shape, and the other had a star-like shape. People had to name each of them with “bouba” or “kiki”. Both of these words were not real words in any language and had no meaning. However, 95% of people decided the rounded one was “bouba”, and the star-like one was “kiki”.
The experiment shows our brains seem to connect sounds with shapes. The scientists believe the results have something to do with the mouth shapes we make when we say these words. Pronouncing “bouba” needs the mouth to make a rounded shape. Other examples of “rounded” sounds are “oo” in “room” and “o” in “wrote”. An unrounded mouth shape is needed to make the sound of “kiki”. “Unrounded” sounds need the lips to be spread apart, like “ee” in “peak” or “a” in “had”.
Another reason is that letters such as “k” or “t” are thought to have unrounded sounds because of their sharp shapes. Letters like “b” or “g” have rounded shapes, so they are thought to have rounded and soft sounds.
Understanding the bouba-kiki effect can lead to its possible use in fields like branding and communication. For example, if a toy brand wants to show its softness and friendliness, it may follow the “bouba” effect and choose rounded shapes for the logo and rounded sounds for product names. Similarly, a technology company may turn to the “kiki” effect to show that it is sharp and powerful. So next time you want to design a logo for a school event or name a product, consider whether it feels more like “bouba” or “kiki”.
34.How does the writer begin the text?
A.By listing numbers. B.By telling a joke.
C.By giving examples. D.By asking a question.

C.Predict why people like “kiki” and “bouba”.

Do you notice wildflowers on the side of the road? A new study found that these flowers in cities can attract(吸引)just as many different kinds of insects as those in fields in the countryside(农村).
Scientists from a university in Poland found that even a small area of grass with wildflowers can attract a lot of insects. Those insects, like bees and butterflies, transport seeds from one flower to another. They watched 10 places with wildflowers in a city and a big field in the countryside. They also studied 162 kinds of insects from June to August. The study showed the kinds of insects in the city were the same as those in the countryside. Even though there were more butterflies in the countryside, the number of bees and other insects was the same in both places. The scientists said this showed that cities could be just as good for insects as the countryside.
▲ So now more and more cities are planting wildflowers by putting seeds on grassland, near parks, and in other green spaces. More cities are also joining gardeners in “No Mow(割草)May”, an activity to help many different plants and animals live healthily and happily. A scientist from Poland said, “By planting flower fields, we can quickly make pretty places for people in the city to visit.”
39.Which picture can show the number of insects according to the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
40.What does the underlined word “transport” in Paragraph 2 mean ?
A.Blow. B.Lend. C.Follow. D.Move.
41.Which one can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3?
A.That’s why wildflowers are important to animals.
B.The study took the scientists two months to finish.
C.Wildflower fields give different animals a place to live.
D.People in cities also need more green spaces to relax.
42.What is the main purpose of “No Mow May”?
A.To make the city parks more beautiful.
B.To provide a home for plants and animals.
C.To allow people to have more places to play.
D.To show the number of insects in the city.
43.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Cities as Good as the Countryside B.Beautiful Flowers in the City
C.How to build a Field in the City D.Bees and Butterflies in Poland
D
With dangerous temperatures, many people went to the store to pick up extra food and blankets. But for many seniors, that’s simply impossible. Programs like Meals on Wheels deliver food and make sure everyone has what they need to stay warm.
As temperatures hit a record low today, the task of Meals on Wheels volunteers is even more important as they pack up hot meals.
“It needs to be done, so like I said, I’ve been doing it for four years. Winter, summer, I haven’t stopped,” said Kishore Chukkla, a volunteer with Meals on Wheels.
Richard Henry, 70, is one of those seniors who needs a meal delivery. For him, it means a lot. “Of course. As a veteran (退伍老兵) and as someone who’s up in age, it’s always good to know that there are people out there who really care and who really think about you. Because when you get old, people are likely to forget about you,” Henry said.
On days when the temperature gets dangerously low, Meals on Wheels volunteers must brave the cold to check on those who need help.
“It’s hard for people that are homebound to get out on a nice day, let alone a day like this, so it is surely important for us to make sure that they have the food that they need, that someone is checking on them, to make sure that they have heat and that it’s turned on,” said Austin.
“When you have a volunteer, good people take the time to volunteer to do this. I don’t know what most people think about it, but I appreciate it,” Henry said.
Meals on Wheels still needs more help. They’re looking for volunteers, so if you want to lend a hand, please visit volunteer.vnatexas.org to learn more.
44.What kind of text type is this passage?
A.A story. B.A scientific study. C.A news report. D.A diary.
45.What does the underlined word homebound in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Unable to leave home. B.Willing to stay at home.
C.Ready to leave home. D.Sad to change home.
46.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To tell people how to become a volunteer.
B.To encourage more people to volunteer.
C.To introduce the website of Meals on Wheels.
D.To show that Meals on Wheels is short of money.
47.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Henry is one of the volunteers of Meals on Wheels.
B.Meals on Wheels has been set up for four years.
C.It’s easy for old people to shop with the help of volunteers.
D.If Henry were young enough, he would like to be one of the volunteers.

根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项多余。
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. 48
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. 49 He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
50 We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.
51 We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
52 If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
A.Now paper still comes from trees.
B.Everyone can help save paper.
C.We have no use of paper.
D.He took the wood from trees and made it into paper.
E.So how can we save paper?
F.Everyone can’t help to save paper.
G.However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.

The “Go West” programme is a voluntary service programme which sends college graduates (毕业生) to work in less developed areas in China for 1 to 3 years. This national programme covers education, medical care, farming technology and so on. Many areas have benefited from the programme since it started in 2003, and Sheyit is among them.
Sheyit Primary School is a faraway village school in Xinjiang. Thanks to the “Go West” programme, many young graduates have arrived here to help. Although they come from different places across China, they all share the same wish: to bring hope and knowledge to the children and lead them to a brighter future in this way.
Those volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School devote (奉献) themselves fully to teaching the children and taking good care of them. They set clear rules in class and expect students to finish homework on time. They find that many parents are busy herding (放牧) animals and have little time to help their children with homework. The teachers work extra (额外的) hours so that they can help the students with their study. “This is where I find the true meaning of my life,” a volunteer teacher here said. “When I see my students grow through my lessons, their progress becomes my honour.”
The students also greatly treasure their teachers’ teaching and care. They describe their teachers as being like the sun. They love going to school so much that some even come on weekends to study! Now all of them dream big and study hard towards their dreams.
“When active students meet hard-working and caring teachers, improvement is only a matter of time.Our school is no longer the worst in the city,” said Jin Wenbin, the leader of Sheyit Primary School. Since 2023, the school has produced many graduates who have done very well in local exams and got into top middle schools in Xinjiang.
53.How does the programme help these less developed areas in China?
54.How long has the “Go West” programme been in service?
55.Why do volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School work extra hours?
56.According to Jin Wenbin, what is the reason for the school’s improvement?
57.If you plan to join this programme in the future, what will you do to help the students?

Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is “kiki” and which one is “bouba”? This is part of a famous bouba-kiki experiment done in both America and India.
In the experiment, people were shown two drawings. One had a rounded shape, and the other had a star-like shape. People had to name each of them with “bouba” or “kiki”. Both of these words were not real words in any language and had no meaning. However, 95% of people decided the rounded one was “bouba”, and the star-like one was “kiki”.
The experiment shows our brains seem to connect sounds with shapes. The scientists believe the results have something to do with the mouth shapes we make when we say these words. Pronouncing “bouba” needs the mouth to make a rounded shape. Other examples of “rounded” sounds are “oo” in “room” and “o” in “wrote”. An unrounded mouth shape is needed to make the sound of “kiki”. “Unrounded” sounds need the lips to be spread apart, like “ee” in “peak” or “a” in “had”.
Another reason is that letters such as “k” or “t” are thought to have unrounded sounds because of their sharp shapes. Letters like “b” or “g” have rounded shapes, so they are thought to have rounded and soft sounds.
Understanding the bouba-kiki effect can lead to its possible use in fields like branding and communication. For example, if a toy brand wants to show its softness and friendliness, it may follow the “bouba” effect and choose rounded shapes for the logo and rounded sounds for product names. Similarly, a technology company may turn to the “kiki” effect to show that it is sharp and powerful. So next time you want to design a logo for a school event or name a product, consider whether it feels more like “bouba” or “kiki”.

Do you notice wildflowers on the side of the road? A new study found that these flowers in cities can attract(吸引)just as many different kinds of insects as those in fields in the countryside(农村).
Scientists from a university in Poland found that even a small area of grass with wildflowers can attract a lot of insects. Those insects, like bees and butterflies, transport seeds from one flower to another. They watched 10 places with wildflowers in a city and a big field in the countryside. They also studied 162 kinds of insects from June to August. The study showed the kinds of insects in the city were the same as those in the countryside. Even though there were more butterflies in the countryside, the number of bees and other insects was the same in both places. The scientists said this showed that cities could be just as good for insects as the countryside.
▲ So now more and more cities are planting wildflowers by putting seeds on grassland, near parks, and in other green spaces. More cities are also joining gardeners in “No Mow(割草)May”, an activity to help many different plants and animals live healthily and happily. A scientist from Poland said, “By planting flower fields, we can quickly make pretty places for people in the city to visit.”

With dangerous temperatures, many people went to the store to pick up extra food and blankets. But for many seniors, that’s simply impossible. Programs like Meals on Wheels deliver food and make sure everyone has what they need to stay warm.
As temperatures hit a record low today, the task of Meals on Wheels volunteers is even more important as they pack up hot meals.
“It needs to be done, so like I said, I’ve been doing it for four years. Winter, summer, I haven’t stopped,” said Kishore Chukkla, a volunteer with Meals on Wheels.
Richard Henry, 70, is one of those seniors who needs a meal delivery. For him, it means a lot. “Of course. As a veteran (退伍老兵) and as someone who’s up in age, it’s always good to know that there are people out there who really care and who really think about you. Because when you get old, people are likely to forget about you,” Henry said.
On days when the temperature gets dangerously low, Meals on Wheels volunteers must brave the cold to check on those who need help.
“It’s hard for people that are homebound to get out on a nice day, let alone a day like this, so it is surely important for us to make sure that they have the food that they need, that someone is checking on them, to make sure that they have heat and that it’s turned on,” said Austin.
“When you have a volunteer, good people take the time to volunteer to do this. I don’t know what most people think about it, but I appreciate it,” Henry said.
Meals on Wheels still needs more help. They’re looking for volunteers, so if you want to lend a hand, please visit volunteer.vnatexas.org to learn more.
44.What kind of text type is this passage?
A.A story. B.A scientific study. C.A news report. D.A diary.
45.What does the underlined word homebound in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Unable to leave home. B.Willing to stay at home.
C.Ready to leave home. D.Sad to change home.
46.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To tell people how to become a volunteer.
B.To encourage more people to volunteer.
C.To introduce the website of Meals on Wheels.
D.To show that Meals on Wheels is short of money.
47.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Henry is one of the volunteers of Meals on Wheels.
B.Meals on Wheels has been set up for four years.
C.It’s easy for old people to shop with the help of volunteers.
D.If Henry were young enough, he would like to be one of the volunteers.

根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项多余。
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. 48
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. 49 He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
50 We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.
51 We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
52 If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
A.Now paper still comes from trees.
B.Everyone can help save paper.
C.We have no use of paper.
D.He took the wood from trees and made it into paper.
E.So how can we save paper?
F.Everyone can’t help to save paper.
G.However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
四、任务型阅读

The “Go West” programme is a voluntary service programme which sends college graduates (毕业生) to work in less developed areas in China for 1 to 3 years. This national programme covers education, medical care, farming technology and so on. Many areas have benefited from the programme since it started in 2003, and Sheyit is among them.
Sheyit Primary School is a faraway village school in Xinjiang. Thanks to the “Go West” programme, many young graduates have arrived here to help. Although they come from different places across China, they all share the same wish: to bring hope and knowledge to the children and lead them to a brighter future in this way.
Those volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School devote (奉献) themselves fully to teaching the children and taking good care of them. They set clear rules in class and expect students to finish homework on time. They find that many parents are busy herding (放牧) animals and have little time to help their children with homework. The teachers work extra (额外的) hours so that they can help the students with their study. “This is where I find the true meaning of my life,” a volunteer teacher here said. “When I see my students grow through my lessons, their progress becomes my honour.”
The students also greatly treasure their teachers’ teaching and care. They describe their teachers as being like the sun. They love going to school so much that some even come on weekends to study! Now all of them dream big and study hard towards their dreams.
“When active students meet hard-working and caring teachers, improvement is only a matter of time.Our school is no longer the worst in the city,” said Jin Wenbin, the leader of Sheyit Primary School. Since 2023, the school has produced many graduates who have done very well in local exams and got into top middle schools in Xinjiang.
53.How does the programme help these less developed areas in China?
54.How long has the “Go West” programme been in service?
55.Why do volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School work extra hours?

参考答案
一、
1.A
【解析】句意:记得在公共场合和别人打招呼,而且任何时候你都必须避免说不礼貌的话。
根据“remember”的用法“remember to do sth.”以及“remember doing sth.”可知,第一空表示记得去做某事,所以用“to greet”;根据“avoid”的用法“avoid doing sth.”可知,第二空用“saying”。
2.C
【解析】句意:当谈到在餐厅吃饭时,我认为举止礼貌是最好的方式。
eat吃,动词原形;to keep our voices down压低我们的声音,不定式;leave a tip留下小费,动词原形;eating吃,现在分词/动名词;to behave politely举止礼貌,不定式;mind table manners注意餐桌礼仪,动词原形。to为介词,后接动名词eating;the best way to do sth.意为“做某事的最好方式”,需用动词不定式。应填eating;to behave politely。
3.A
【解析】句意:购物时插队是不礼貌的行为。
in在……里面;on在……上面;at在(某处);for为了。根据“It’s bad manners”以及“cut...line”可知,此处指购物时插队,“cut in line”为固定短语,意为“插队”,应填in。
4.A
【解析】句意:我们应该避免在走廊里奔跑,因为它可能会导致事故。
avoid避免;practice练习;enjoy享受;finish完成。根据“because it may cause accidents”可知,在走廊奔跑是危险的,所以应该避免奔跑,应填avoid。
5.A
【解析】句意:上次语文考试我做得足够好,几乎没有犯错误。
well好,副词;good好的,形容词。空处修饰动词did,需用副词well,enough“足够的”修饰形容词或副词时需后置,应填well enough。
6.A
【解析】句意:这个小男孩不会去睡觉,除非他妈妈讲一个故事。
unless除非;when当……时候;while当……时候;if如果。根据“The little boy won’t go to sleep”与“his mum tells a story”之间的逻辑关系可知,此处表示条件,意为“除非妈妈讲故事,否则他不睡觉”,unless引导条件状语从句,符合句意。故选A。
7.B
【解析】句意:这个公园足够美丽,能够每年吸引许多游客。
too...to...太……而不能……;so...that...如此……以至于;enough...to...足够……去。enough修饰形容词beautiful,放在其后,to后接动词原形attract,表示“足够美,能够吸引(游客)”,符合题意。
8.B
【解析】句意:你很有礼貌,在公共汽车上等候老人并给他们让座。
固定句型“It’s + adj + of/for + sb + to do sth”。polite意为“有礼貌的”,用来修饰人的品质特征,介词应用of;若形容词描述事物性质(如important, hard),介词则用for。该句型中真正的主语是动词不定式,结构为to do sth,因此第二空填to wait。故选B。
9.A
【解析】句意:他在事故中失去了很多血。我们需要把他送到医院。
blood血;confidence信心;life生命;abilities能力。根据后句“We need to send him to the hospital”可知,前句描述的是需要紧急医疗救助的情况。事故中大量失血是送医院的常见原因。故填blood。

12.D
【解析】句意:阿丽娜过去常在农场工作,但现在在联合国儿童基金会的帮助下,她习惯于在学校学习。
used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”;be used to doing sth. 意为“习惯于做某事”,其中to是介词,后接动名词。根据前半句语境可知表示过去的状态,用used to;后半句表示现在习惯于学习,用is used to studying。
13.D
【解析】句意:对他们来说,最重要的事情不是赚很多钱,而是聚在一起。
not...but...意为“不是……而是……”,连接前后两个并列成分。本句中is后应用动词不定式作表语,为了保持结构平行,not和but后面都需要接带to的不定式,即not to...but to...。
14.A
【解析】句意: 他每天晚上唱英文歌,上周他被邀请在聚会上唱歌。
第一空every evening提示经常性动作,用一般现在时sings;第二空last week提示过去时间,且主语he与ask之间为被动关系(他被邀请),故用一般过去时被动was asked。

17.D
【解析】句意:对于能够更好地控制自己的学生来说,在线学习更好。
考查动词辨析。worry担心;compare比较;punish惩罚;control控制。根据“…themselves better”可知,此处指自我控制力更好的人,在线学习更好。故选D。
18.B
【解析】句意:幸福与金钱无关,而是取决于你的观点。
考查动词短语。writes about书写关于……;depends on取决于;joins in加入;takes up开始从事。根据“Happiness has nothing to do with money”幸福与金钱无关,结合后面的your opinions及选项,可知应是“取决于”你的观点,因此B选项符合题意,其它选项均语意不通,故选B。
19.B
【解析】句意:——我儿子怎么了,医生?——没什么,只是有点感冒。他最好喝点水。
考查复合不定代词。Everything所有事情,一切;Nothing没有事情;Something某事,某物,常用于肯定句中;Anything任何事情。根据“just a little cold”,可知病得不是很严重,没什么事。故选B。

【解析】本文讲述埃及学生 Ahmed 在加拿大学习半年的经历。他适应气候、饮食和礼仪差异,体会到不同文化虽有差异,但人类情感相通。
21.句意:这是我第一次“访问”一个西方国家,我学到了很多关于文化差异的宝贵经验。
根据上文“I had the chance to study in Canada for six months”可知作者是去加拿大学习,即访问西方国家。应用visiting“访问”。leaving“离开”、missing“想念”、building“建造”均不符合语境。
22.句意:在我离开之前,妈妈给了我一些“建议”:“总要礼貌待人,尊重他人,即使事情对你来说看起来很奇怪。”
冒号后的内容“Always be polite and respect others...”显然是母亲给出的建议。应用advice“建议”。stories“故事”、questions“问题”、problems“问题”均不符合语境。
23.句意:当我到达多伦多时,一切都感觉很“奇怪”。
根据后文“The weather was much colder than Cairo. People dressed differently...”可知,天气更冷,人们穿着不同,这些都让作者感到陌生和奇怪。应用strange“奇怪的”。wonderful“精彩的”、familiar“熟悉的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”均不符合语境。
24.句意:起初,我感到很“孤独”,非常想念我的家人。
根据后半句“missed my family terribly”可知,因为想念家人,所以感到孤独。应用lonely“孤独的”。happy“快乐的”、excited“兴奋的”、relaxed“放松的”均不符合语境。
25.句意:最大的挑战是“食物”。
根据后文“In Egypt, we eat with our hands... Using a knife and fork was very difficult for me.”可知,本段主要讨论的是饮食习惯和餐具使用的困难。应用food“食物”。language“语言”、transportation“交通”、weather“天气”均不符合语境。
26.句意:我搞砸了好几次,感到很“尴尬”。
根据前文“I made a mess several times”可知,把东西弄得一团糟通常会让人感到尴尬或难为情。应用embarrassed“尴尬的”。proud“骄傲的”、confident“自信的”、surprised“惊讶的”均不符合语境。
27.句意:他们鼓励我,甚至“教”我如何正确使用它们。
根据语境,寄宿家庭不仅鼓励作者,还指导他如何使用刀叉。应用taught“教”(teach的过去式)。asked“问”、supported“支持”、showed“展示”虽然语义相关,但taught更强调技能传授的过程,且符合how to use的搭配习惯。
28.句意:另一件有趣的事情是“礼貌”。
根据后文“In Canada, people often say ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’ many times a day.”可知,这里讨论的是加拿大人的礼貌用语和习惯。应用politeness“礼貌”。rudeness“粗鲁”、sadness“悲伤”、happiness“幸福”均不符合语境。
29.句意:我了解到“不同的”文化有不同的表达尊重的方式。
文章一直在对比埃及和加拿大的不同习惯,因此结论是不同的文化有不同的方式。应用different“不同的”。similar“相似的”、same“相同的”、easy“容易的”均不符合语境。
30.句意:这次经历教会了我,虽然我们来自不同的“国家”,但我们拥有相同的人类情感。
文章开头提到作者来自埃及,去的是加拿大,这是两个不同的国家。应用countries“国家”。cities“城市”、schools“学校”、families“家庭”范围过小,不符合全文宏观语境。

A
31.A 32.A 33.C
【解析】本文是一则关于当地慈善步行活动的通知,介绍了活动的路线、时间、准备事项及往年成果,号召大家参与并赞助。
31.根据原文第二段“Last year’s walkers helped to raise a total of $21,000.”可知,去年的慈善步行活动总共筹集了21000美元。
32.根据原文“it is better to wear shoes that have been worn in, instead of new ones.”可知,组织者建议步行者穿旧鞋。
33.根据全文内容,这是一则面向当地居民的慈善活动通知,最可能出现在当地报纸上,C选项“a local newspaper”符合题意。
B
34.D 35.B 36.C 37.D 38.A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一个著名的“bouba-kiki”心理学实验。文章探讨了人们如何将声音与形状联系起来,并分析了这种现象在品牌命名和Logo设计中的应用。
34.第一段开头“Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is ‘kiki’ and which one is ‘bouba’?”说明作者通过向读者提问的方式引入了话题。
35.第三段“The experiment shows our brains seem to connect sounds with shapes.”说明该实验展示了形状与声音之间的联系。
36.最后一段“Similarly, a technology company may turn to the ‘kiki’ effect to show its sharp and powerful.”结合文中提到的“k”或“t”字母,对比选项,Teeki含有“k”音,发音短促有力,最符合“kiki”的特征。
37.通读全文,文章从介绍实验现象开始,接着解释产生这种现象的原因,最后讲述其在生活中的应用。因此文章的主旨是探索人们如何将声音与形状联系起来。
38.通读全文,Para.①②:介绍了bouba-kiki实验的内容和结果;Para.③④:解释了为什么会有这种联系,即背后的原因;Para.⑤:讲述了这一效应在品牌和沟通领域的应用。对应A项。

【解析】本文介绍了波兰科学家的一项研究,发现城市里的野花也能吸引和农村一样多的昆虫,并介绍了城市为保护这些生物所采取的措施。
39.根据第二段中“Even though there were more butterflies in the countryside, the number of bees and other insects was the same in both places.”可知,农村的蝴蝶数量比城市多,而蜜蜂和其他昆虫的数量在城市和农村是一样的。选项B的柱状图符合这一描述。
40.根据上下文“Those insects, like bees and butterflies, transport seeds from one flower to another.”可知,蜜蜂和蝴蝶会把种子从一朵花带到另一朵花上,所以transport在这里的意思是“移动、搬运”,与Move同义。
41.前文讲了野花能吸引昆虫,后文讲了城市开始种植野花、开展“No Mow May”活动来保护动植物,所以空格处需要一个过渡句,说明野花对动物的重要性。C选项“Wildflower fields give different animals a place to live.”这句话既承接了“野花吸引昆虫的研究结论,又直接引出了下文“城市通过种野花为动植物提供家园”的行动。
42.根据“...‘No Mow May’, an activity to help many different plants and animals live healthily and happily.”可知,“No Mow May”活动的目的是为动植物提供健康生活的家园。
43.本文通过研究说明城市里的野花也能像农村的一样吸引昆虫,强调了城市对昆虫生态的重要性。A选项“Cities as Good as the Countryside”(城市和农村一样好)能概括文章核心,最适合作为标题。

【解析】本文介绍了如何在社交媒体上礼貌互动的方法,包括尊重他人、礼貌回复、使用表情符号、尊重多元文化和践行网络礼仪等建议,以帮助人们愉快地进行线上交流。
58.句意:但是你知道如何在互联网上表现得有礼貌吗?“how to do sth.”表示“如何做某事”,此处需要一个动词,“behave politely”表示“表现得有礼貌”,符合语境。其他词无法表达此含义。
59.句意:这里有一些关于如何成为一名好的互联网用户的建议。“tips on how to do sth.”表示“关于如何做某事的建议”,“how”符合此处语义与结构。
60.句意:如果你对别人不礼貌,他们就不可能对你好。根据后文“it’s impossible for them to treat you well”可知,此处表示“不礼貌”,“polite”的反义词“impolite”符合语境。
61.句意:通常,你不会和网上的每个人都意见一致。此处需要一个副词作状语,“normally”表示“通常、一般来说”,句首首字母需大写,符合语境。
62.句意:当你回复别人时,保持礼貌对你来说很重要。“when doing sth.”是省略结构,相当于“when you are doing sth.”,此处用动名词形式,“reply to others”表示“回复别人”,因此用“replying”。
63.句意:因此,你应该避免使用不好的词语。“should”后接动词原形,“avoid doing sth.”表示“避免做某事”,符合语境。
64.句意:当你和别人在网上进行讨论时,像“Hello:-D”这样的信息可以给你的表达增添温暖。“have a discussion with sb.”表示“和某人讨论”,“discuss”的名词形式“discussion”符合此处用法。
65.句意:许多人已经意识到表情符号可以让他们彼此更亲近。“have”提示此处为现在完成时,结构为“have/has done”,“realize”的过去分词形式“realized”符合时态与语义。
66.句意:当你在网上犯错时,你应该向别人道歉,然后确保不再重复它们。此处指代前文的“mistakes”,动词“repeat”后接宾语,因此用“they”的宾格形式“them”。
67.句意:通过践行良好的网络礼仪,你可以拥有愉快的上网时光。“good internet manners”表示“良好的网络礼仪”,“manner”表示“礼仪”时常用复数形式“manners”,符合语境。

【解析】本文通过讲述杰森在暑假期间跟随母亲去食品厨房做志愿者的经历,体现了帮助他人带来的快乐与成长,强调了参与志愿服务的意义。
68.句意:那只是暑假的第二周。根据空前的定冠词“the”可知,此处应用序数词表示顺序,“two”的序数形式为“second”。
69.句意:他的朋友们正在其他城市度假。固定搭配“on vacation”意为“在度假”。
70.句意:他无法想象接下来的日子该怎么度过。“following”后接名词复数形式表示泛指接下来的多天,“day”的复数形式为“days”。
71.句意:她的任务是为那些不如杰森幸运的人提供午餐。“as...as”中间接形容词或副词原级,此处作表语,需用形容词,“luck”的形容词形式为“lucky”。
72.句意:你只需要看着我,然后你就会知道如何分发食物。动词“watch”后接人称代词宾格作宾语,“I”的宾格形式为“me”。
73.句意:半小时后,他们到达了。根据上下文语境,故事发生在过去,故谓语动词需用一般过去时,“arrive”的过去式为“arrived”,意为“到达”。
74.句意:他看着母亲把一些火鸡和煎饼放在一个盘子上。此处泛指“一个盘子”,且“plate”以辅音音素开头,填不定冠词“a”。
75.句意:杰森自信他能比别人做得更好。根据空后的“than”可知,此处需用比较级,“well”的比较级为“better”,意为“更好”。
76.句意:他尽最大努力把它做好。do“做”,固定搭配“try one’s best to do sth.”意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”。

七、
78. bedroom of my own
【解析】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺少了“属于自己的卧室”,bedroom“卧室”,of one’s own“属于某人自己的”。故填bedroom;of;my;own。
79. do not
realize
【解析】realize“意识到”,时态是一般现在时,主语是复数,用助动词do not构成否定。故填do;not;realize。
80. in line
【解析】wait in line“排队等候”,动词短语,故填in;line。
81. set up disabled
【解析】根据句意可知,空白处表示建立一个组织,帮助残疾的人;set up“建立”,根据时间状语“last year”可知,此句用一般过去时,set的过去式不变,前两空填set up;disabled“残疾的”,形容词,作定语修饰名词“children”。故填set;up;disabled。
82. difficult/hard to reach
【解析】It’s+形容词+for sb to do“做某事对某人来说是……”,difficult/hard“困难的”,形容词;reach“到达”动词,to reach不定式结构作真正主语。故填difficult/hard;to;reach。
83. to keep in touch with
【解析】It is+形容词+to do sth“做某事是怎么样的”。keep in touch in with“和……保持联系”。故填to;keep;in;touch;with。
84. was sent to the prison
【解析】send to表示“送去”,主语The thief与send之间是被动关系,且描述发生过的事,用一般过去时的被动语态,be动词用was;the prison表示“监狱”。故填was;sent;to;the;prison。
85. ran out
【解析】根据汉语提示及所给句子,可知空处缺少“用光”的翻译。“用光”译为run out;and连接并列的成分,and后have用了过去式had,判断此句为一般过去时,故run应该用过去式,为ran。故填ran;out。
86. manage our time wisely ourselves
【解析】“管理时间”译为“manage time”,主语是“we”,此处表示“我们的时间”,故“time”前需加形容词性物主代词“our”;“明智地”是副词,修饰动词“manage”,译为“wisely”,通常置于动词后;“自己”译为反身代词“ourselves”,置于句末。learn to do sth.“学习做某事”,不定式to后面跟动词原形manage。故填manage;our;time;wisely;ourselves。
87. reminds me to
【解析】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“提醒我”。remind“提醒”,“My mother”是第三人称单数,要用reminds。“remind sb to do sth.”是“提醒某人做某事”的固定搭配,动词后面接宾语,我用“me”表达。故填reminds;me;to。
八、
Dear Brian,
I am a member of the Volunteer Club. I’d like to introduce the activities in the Volunteer Club to you.
In order to help people in need and raise their spirits, we often do some voluntary work at weekends. We often go to the Children’s Hospital to play games with the children there. In addition, we teach them to draw pictures as well as tell them interesting stories. We also go to the Old People’s Home. There we help to do some cleaning and spend time chatting with them. Sometimes, we sing songs, dance and put on plays for them.
I think doing voluntary work can make our life richer. Would you like to join me? I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Steve
