1.My mother always encourages me ________ English every day.
A.to practise to speak B.practising speaking C.to practise speaking
【答案】C
【详解】句意:我的妈妈总是鼓励我每天练习说英语。
encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”,practise需用动词不定式形式;practise doing sth.意为“练习做某事”,speak需用动名词形式。
2.Our summer vacation is coming. I decide ________ on a trip.
A.go B.to go C.going
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我们的暑假快到了。我决定去旅行。
decide to do sth.表示“决定做某事”,此处用动词不定式to go符合语法规则,语义和语境均正确。
3.—Who helped your mother with the housework?
—No one. She finished it by ________.
A.her B.herself C.myself
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——谁帮你妈妈做家务了?——没有人。她自己完成的。
her她/她的;herself她自己;myself我自己。固定搭配by oneself意为“独自地”,根据主语She可知,此处应用she的反身代词herself。应填herself。
4.As a team leader, I ________ decide everything alone.
A.can B.have to C.shouldn’t
【答案】C
【详解】句意:作为一个团队领导者,我不应该独自决定所有事情。
can能够;have to不得不;shouldn’t不应该。根据句意及常识,团队领导者应注重团队协作,而非独自做所有决定,故选用shouldn’t。
5.Most people don’t know the value of health ________ they lose it.
A.until B.if C.though
【答案】A
【详解】句意:大多数人直到失去健康才知道健康的价值。
until直到……为止;if如果;though虽然。根据句中“don’t know”可知,此处构成“not...until...”固定搭配,意为“直到……才……”。
6.________ the rain was heavy, ________ Tom still walked to school on time.
A.Although; but B.Although; / C.But; although
【答案】B
【详解】句意:尽管雨下得很大,汤姆还是准时步行去上学了。
although尽管;but但是。在英语中,although和but不能同时使用,二者只能选其一,因此选Although; /。
7.—I think it’s ________ to feel a little nervous before a big exam. We just need to stay calm and do our best.
—You’re right. Facing our fears is part of growing stronger.
A.difficult B.strange C.natural
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——我认为在大考前感到有点紧张是正常的。我们只需要保持冷静,尽最大努力。——你说得对。面对恐惧是变得更强的一部分。
difficult困难的;strange奇怪的;natural自然的。根据语境可知,大考前感到紧张是一种普遍的心理反应,结合后文建议保持冷静及答语“面对恐惧是成长的一部分”可知,此处指这是自然且正常的现象,无需过度担忧。应填natural。
8.— Mr. Lin, why is it cooler to wear clothes in lighter colors?
— Well, because lighter colors ________ less heat of the sun than darker colors do.
A.take in B.take up C.take off
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——林老师,为什么穿浅色的衣服更凉爽?——嗯,因为浅色的衣服比深色的衣服吸收的太阳热量更少。
take in吸收,接纳,理解;take up开始从事,占据(时间/空间);take off(飞机)起飞,脱掉。根据语境可知浅色衣服相比深色衣服吸收的热量少,take in符合“吸收”的语境。
9.My family ________ dinner when the heavy rainstorm ________.
A.had, started B.were having, started C.had, was starting
【答案】B
【详解】句意:当暴雨开始时,我们一家人正在吃晚饭。
when引导的时间状语从句中,常用一般过去时表示突然发生的短暂性动作,主句常用过去进行时表示当时正在进行的背景动作,结构为“was/were doing sth. when... did sth.”。第一空表示正在进行的动作,用were having;第二空表示突然发生的动作,用started。应填were having;started。
10.After running a 1000-metre race, he was ________.
A.out of breath B.breathed heavily C.out of breathe
【答案】A
【详解】句意:跑完1000米比赛后,他喘不过气来。
out of breath上气不接下气;喘不过气,是固定搭配,符合语境;breathed heavily为动词过去式,不能直接放在was后作表语;out of breathe中breathe为动词形式,表达错误。根据“After running a 1000-metre race”可知剧烈运动后状态应为上气不接下气。
11.________ the mother walked into the classroom, her kids shouted “Happy Mother’s Day” to her.
A.So that B.As soon as C.In order that
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这位母亲一走进教室,她的孩子们就对她大喊“母亲节快乐”。
So that以便;为了;As soon as一……就……;In order that为了。根据句意,前半句“母亲走进教室”和后半句“孩子们喊母亲节快乐”是紧接着发生的两个动作,存在时间上的先后承接关系,应用表示时间的连词。As soon as引导时间状语从句,符合逻辑。应填As soon as。
12.________ you go or stay, please tell me.
A.Though B.Because C.Whether
【答案】C
【详解】句意:无论你是去还是留,请告诉我。
Though虽然;Because因为;Whether是否/无论。根据“you go or stay” (你去还是留) 可知,表示“无论……还是……”,应用“Whether...or...”结构,应填“Whether”。
13.She hasn’t read the book ________.
A.already B.yet C.just
【答案】B
【详解】句意:她还没有读这本书。
already已经;yet还;just刚刚。根据“hasn’t”可知句子是否定句,yet常用于现在完成时的否定句和疑问句句末,表示“还”。
14.I borrow a book ________ the library every week.
A.from B.to C.for
【答案】A
【详解】句意:我每周从图书馆借一本书。
from从……;to到……;for为了……。根据句意可知是从图书馆借书,固定搭配“borrow ... from ... ”意为“从……借……”。此处用“from”。
15.— How long have you had the bike?
— I ________ it since I was six years old.
A.bought B.have bought C.have had
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你拥有这辆自行车多久了?——自从我六岁起我就拥有它了。
bought买(buy的过去式);have bought已经买(现在完成时结构);have had已经拥有(现在完成时结构)。“since I was six years old”表明该句使用现在完成时,谓语结构have done,需用延续性动词,buy为短暂性动词不能连用,have表拥有是延续性动词,应填have had。

【答案】16.B 17.C 18.D 19.A 20.E
【导语】本文主要介绍了一个学习小组在课堂上展示他们关于“中国剪纸”项目的对话过程。小组成员依次说明了选题、分工、制作过程以及项目目标,展现了良好的团队协作与对中国传统文化的关注。
【详解】16.A首先向全班问好并说明小组要分享项目成果,此时其他成员应做出回应并询问具体内容。B问“你们选择了什么主题?”,与A回答“我们选择了中国剪纸作为主题”直接对应。B选项“What topic did you choose?”,自然引出下文。
17.在得知主题是剪纸后,C继续追问选择该主题的原因。A回答“因为它是一种有着悠久历史的精彩民间艺术”。因此C应问“Why did you choose this topic?”,符合一问一答的逻辑顺序。
18.B询问“你们是如何制作这张海报的?”,需要有人说明分工方式。C回答“我画了一些漂亮的剪纸图案,李华写了介绍”,说明在此之前C应先说明小组进行了任务分配。D选项“We divided the tasks.”,这句话概括了分工,后文具体说明各自做了什么,衔接自然。
19.C说完自己的任务后,A转向B询问其负责的内容。B回答“我在网上搜索了剪纸的历史并把它放在海报上”,因此A应问“What did you do?”,直接引出B对自己任务的说明。
20.在介绍完海报的制作过程和分工后,A最后说明项目的目标或期望。C主动询问“你们希望通过这个项目达成什么?”,A回答“我们希望把这项传统艺术传播给更多人”。E选项“What do you hope to achieve through this project?”,作为对话的收尾非常恰当。

A
Recently, it has been reported that a boy fell down into a sewer (下水道), because he lost himself in his smart phone. When he realized his situation, he tried hard to get out of the sewer, 21 he failed. Later, with the help of the police, he was finally 22 . It sounds a little 23 , but when we look at the people around, we can find most of them are paying more attention to their phones rather than face-to-face communication. Many people like to talk on the Internet, so they don’t care about the things in the real world. No matter what they are doing, such as 24 for the bus or sitting at the table with their friends, smart phones are always at their hands. Even though smart phones play an important role in our daily life, they should be used wisely. We can’t let the technology control 25 . We are the masters of our own lives!
21.A.and B.but C.or D.so
22.A.saved B.found C.caught D.stopped
23.A.unbelievable B.exciting C.wonderful D.difficult
24.A.asking B.looking C.waiting D.cheering
25.A.myself B.ourselves C.yourselves D.yourself
【答案】21.B 22.A 23.A 24.C 25.B
【导语】本文是议论文,讲述男孩沉迷手机遇险获救的事例,指出当下人们过度依赖手机、忽视现实交流的现象,呼吁大家合理使用手机,不被科技支配。
【详解】21.句意:当他意识到自己的处境时,他拼尽全力想要从下水道里出来,但是他失败了。
前半句“努力爬出”和后半句“失败”构成转折逻辑,应用but。and表并列、or表选择、so表因果,均不符合语境。
22.句意:后来,在警察的帮助下,他最终获救了。
根据前文男孩被困下水道、警察前来救援的背景,saved(营救、解救) 符合句意。found(发现)、caught(抓住)、stopped(阻止)均不符合上下文救援的语境。
23.句意:这件事听起来有一点难以置信。
男孩沉迷手机遇险的这件事,听起来是出人意料、令人难以相信的,unbelievable(难以置信的) 符合语境。exciting(令人兴奋的)、wonderful(美好的)、difficult(困难的)均不符合事件色彩。
24.句意:无论他们在做什么,比如等公交车、和朋友坐在餐桌旁,手机总是握在他们手里。
固定搭配wait for the bus意为“等公交车”;such as后接动名词形式,故用waiting。ask for(请求)、look for(寻找)、cheer for(为…… 欢呼)均和“公交车”搭配逻辑不通。
25.句意:我们不能让科技控制我们自己。
本句主语为we,反身代词需要和主语保持人称一致,第一人称复数反身代词为ourselves。myself(我自己)、yourselves/yourself(你们自己/你自己)人称均不匹配。
B
Reading fantasy books is my favourite hobby. I have read many famous works 26 . Among all these books, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland leaves the deepest impression on me.
The book was written 27 Lewis Carroll. It tells a wonderful story about a little girl named Alice. One day, she runs after a white rabbit and enters a 28 world. Everything there is strange and funny. She finds a 29 door on the wall. She is too big to go through it, so she drinks a special drink and becomes much 30 .
Unluckily, she forgets the key on the table. She is too small to 31 it. Then she eats a piece of magic cake and grows big again. I have finished reading this book and I 32 it to the movie. In my opinion, the book has more details.
This story is not just for fun. It also talks about 33 up. I have 34 loved this kind of meaningful fantasy stories. I will keep reading and I hope more students can 35 this great book.
26.A.recently B.yesterday C.tomorrow D.just now
27.A.for B.by C.with D.from
28.A.real B.common C.magical D.boring
29.A.huge B.wide C.tiny D.thick
30.A.smaller B.bigger C.taller D.shorter
31.A.find B.reach C.buy D.move
32.A.compare B.choose C.prefer D.turn
33.A.grow B.growing C.grew D.grows
34.A.never B.sometimes C.seldom D.always
35.A.enjoy B.refuse C.forget D.doubt
【答案】
26.A 27.B 28.C 29.C 30.A 31.B 32.C 33.B 34.D 35.A
【导语】本文作者介绍阅读奇幻书的爱好,讲述《爱丽丝梦游仙境》情节,对比书与电影,提及成长主题并推荐该书。
【详解】26.句意:我最近读了许多名著。
根据“have read”是现在完成时,可知需用与之搭配的时间状语。recently“近来”常与现在完成时连用,符合语境。yesterday和just now用于一般过去时,tomorrow用于将来时。
27.句意:这本书是由刘易斯·卡罗尔写的。
根据“was written”被动语态,可知动作发出者前用介词by。by引出作者,固定搭配:be written by sb“由……所写”。for/with/from不用于被动语态引出动作执行者。
28.句意:她进入了一个神奇的世界。
根据“Everything there is strange and funny”,可知世界是奇幻的。magical“魔幻的”符合奇幻故事背景。
29.句意:她发现墙上有一个微小的门。
根据“She is too big to go through it”,可知门很小。tiny表示“微小”,符合逻辑。huge/wide与太大进不去矛盾,thick无关大小。
30.句意:她喝了一种特殊饮料,变得更小了。
根据“too big...go through”,可知需变小才能通过。smaller符合语境逻辑。
31.句意:她太小了以至于够不到它。
根据“forgets the key on the table”及“too small”,可知是身高不够无法触及。reach表示“够到”,符合情境。
32.句意:比起电影,我更喜欢这本书。
根据“prefer A to B”固定搭配,可知表示更喜欢A。后文提到书细节更多,佐证了偏好。
33. 句意:它也谈论关于成长的话题。
“about”是介词,后接动词-ing形式。growing符合语法规则。grow/grew/grows不能直接跟在介词后。
34.句意:我一直喜爱这类有意义的奇幻故事。
根据“favourite hobby”及“keep reading”,可知态度是持续喜爱的。always符合语境。never/seldom表否定,sometimes“有时”程度不够。
35.句意:我希望更多学生能享受这本好书。
根据“hope”及“great book”,可知是正面推荐。enjoy表示“享受"阅读,符合意图。refuse/forget/doubt均为负面含义,不符逻辑。
第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;计30分)
八、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂“A”,错误的涂“B”。(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
Huangguoshu Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Asia and the third largest waterfall in the world. It is Guizhou’s number one natural attraction.
Located on the Baishui River in Anshun, Guizhou, Huangguoshu National Park is centred at Huangguoshu Waterfall which is 83 metres in width and 67 meters in height. There are 18 waterfalls in all with different kinds of sizes. All the waterfalls form a great “family”, which is considered as the largest waterfall group in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Huangguoshu Waterfall got its name because of a local plant named the Yellow Fruit Tree. It is famous for its greatness and the waterfall group. This waterfall is the only waterfall to be watched at different angles (角度) for 360 degrees. As early as in the Ming Dynasty, the famous traveler Xu Xiake praised Huangguoshu Waterfall as “The shadows are floating in the air, the coldness is falling on the Milky Way in the sky.”
Many of you may know one of the four Chinese classics called Journey to the West, which tells the story about a monk (和尚) named Xuan Zang. The emperor in Tang Dynasty wishes him to travel west and bring something back to China. And the monk accepts the task and sets off with his helpers.
There are many famous scenes shooting in Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area (景区). You can have fun at Water-Curtain Cave where is the home of the Monkey King, and Gaolao Zhuang is the place for the Pigsy carrying his wife. All of these will recall (召回) your beautiful memories about Journey to the West.
36.Huangguoshu Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the world.
37.Huangguoshu Waterfall is 67 metres wide and 83 meters high.
38.Huangguoshu Waterfall named after a local plant—the Yellow Fruit Tree.
39.The writer mentions Journey to the West because its writer wrote a poem about Huangguoshu Waterfall in it.
40.From the passage, we can know Huangguoshu Waterfall is Guizhou’s number one natural attraction.
【答案】36.B 37.B 38.A 39.B 40.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了位于中国贵州的黄果树瀑布的世界地位、地理位置与规模、得名由来,同时提及黄果树瀑布景区是《西游记》多处经典场景的取景地,展现了黄果树瀑布的游览价值与特色。
【详解】36.根据第一段第一句“Huangguoshu Waterfall is...the third largest waterfall in the world.”可知,黄果树瀑布是世界第三大瀑布,题干说是世界最大,故错误。
37.根据第二段第二句“...Huangguoshu Waterfall which is 83 metres in width and 67 meters in height.”可知,瀑布宽83米,高67米。题干将宽和高数据弄反了,故错误。
38.根据第三段第一句“Huangguoshu Waterfall got its name because of a local plant named the Yellow Fruit Tree.”可知,瀑布得名于当地植物黄果树,与题干表述一致,故正确。
39.根据第四、五段内容可知,文中提到《西游记》是因为景区内有水帘洞等拍摄场景,能唤起人们对《西游记》的记忆,而非因为作者在书中写了关于瀑布的诗(写诗赞美的是明代旅行家徐霞客),故错误。
40.根据第一段最后一句“It is Guizhou’s number one natural attraction.”可知,黄果树瀑布是贵州第一自然景观,与题干表述一致,故正确。
九、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共10小题;每小题2分,计20分)
A
Have you ever noticed that some people can eat a lot without gaining weight, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at food? Scientists have been studying this for years, and they’ve found that genetics (基因) play a big role in determining our body weight.
One important discovery is about the FTO gene. People with a certain type of this gene are more likely to be overweight. But having the “fat gene” doesn’t mean you’re destined (注定) to be fat. Your lifestyle choices still matter a lot.
Besides genetics, what you eat and how much you exercise are also important. Eating too much high-calorie food and not getting enough physical activity can lead to weight gain. However, studies show that people who sleep less than seven hours a night are more likely to have weight problems.
The good news is that even if you have a genetic tendency to gain weight, you can still stay healthy by making good choices. Eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and getting regular exercise can help control your weight.
41.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to lose weight quickly. B.Reasons why people gain weight.
C.The importance of sleep. D.The best exercise for weight loss.
42.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Eating a lot of food. B.Gaining weight easily.
C.Different eating habits. D.Food choices.
43.Which of the following is TRUE about the FTO gene?
A.Everyone has the FTO gene. B.It can make people eat less.
C.It can lead to weight problems. D.It is the only reason for being overweight.
44.According to the passage, which habit may cause weight gain?
A.Getting eight hours of sleep each night. B.Eating fruits and vegetables every day.
C.Sleeping less than seven hours a night. D.Doing exercise three times a week.
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Genetics are the only thing that matters. B.We can’t do anything about our weight.
C.Healthy choices can help control weight. D.Everyone will become overweight.
【答案】41.B 42.B 43.C 44.C 45.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了影响体重的多种因素,包括基因、饮食、运动和睡眠,并指出即使有遗传倾向,健康的生活方式也能帮助控制体重。
【详解】41.文章介绍了基因、饮食、运动、睡眠等影响体重的因素,因此主旨是“人们增重的原因”。
42.第一段提到“Have you ever noticed that some people can eat a lot without gaining weight, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at food? Scientists have been studying this for years”,这里的“this”指代前文描述的“有的人容易增重、有的人不易增重的现象”,即“容易增重”这件事。
43.第二段提到“People with a certain type of this gene are more likely to be overweight”,说明FTO基因可能导致体重问题。
44.第三段提到“studies show that people who sleep less than seven hours a night are more likely to have weight problems”,说明每晚睡眠不足七小时可能导致体重增加。
45.最后一段提到“the good news is that… can help control your weight”,说明健康的选择可以帮助控制体重。

early they proud camera memory practise quick suggest hour help
Photography is my favourite hobby. It lets me capture (捕捉) nice moments and share 66 with others. Last year, my parents gave me a 67 for my birthday—I was so happy!
On weekends, I go out to take photos. Sometimes I wake up 68 than usual for sunrise, as the light then is perfect for nature shots. Once, I waited 3 69 for a bird. When it landed, I pressed the shutter 70 and got a great picture.
Photography 71 me see the world in a different way. Small things like a dewdrop (露珠) can be great subjects. Last month, I joined a school photography club. We meet on Fridays to share works and give 72 .
Last week, we had an exhibition. Many students came, and some asked me for tips. Their praise (称赞) made me 73 . My teacher said if I keep 74 , I will improve a lot.
Photography brings me joy and helps me make 75 that last forever.
【答案】
66.them 67.camera 68.earlier 69.hours 70.quickly 71.helps 72.suggestions 73.proud 74.practising 75.memories
【导语】本文介绍摄影是作者的爱好,讲述作者拥有相机、外出拍摄、加入摄影社团、参加作品展的经历,写明摄影给自己带来的收获与美好回忆。
【详解】66.句意:它让我捕捉美好的瞬间,并且和别人分享它们。动词share后接宾语,指代前文提到的“nice moments”,应用they的宾格形式them。
67.句意:去年生日父母送了我一台相机,我特别开心。根据上文“摄影是我最爱的爱好”及“父母给的生日礼物”,可知礼物是相机,填原词camera。
68.句意:有时候我比平时醒得更早去拍日出……。句中有关键词“than”,表示比较,应用early的比较级earlier,意为“比平时更早”。
69.句意:有一次,我为了一只小鸟等候了三小时。前面有数词“3”,表示复数概念,hour需变为复数hours。
70.句意:当小鸟落下来,我快速按下快门,拍出一张很棒的照片。此处修饰动词“pressed”,应用quick的副词形式quickly,意为“快速地按下快门”。
71.句意:摄影帮我用不一样的视角看待世界。空处是句子的谓语,主语“Photography”是第三人称单数,且陈述客观事实用一般现在时,“…me see the world in a different way”表示“帮我用不一样的视角看待世界”,help需加s变为helps。
72.句意:我们周五碰面分享作品、给出建议。give后接名词作宾语,“give…”表示“给出建议”,suggest是动词,其名词形式为suggestion,此处泛指建议,用复数suggestions。
73.句意:他们的夸奖让我感到自豪。结构“make sb.+adj.”意为“使某人……”。根据“praise”(称赞),可知使人感到自豪,填proud。
74.句意:老师说如果我坚持练习,我会进步很多。固定搭配“keep doing sth.”意为“坚持做某事”,“keep…”表示“坚持练习”,practise需变为动名词practising。
75.句意:摄影带给我快乐,帮我创造永存的回忆。make memories为常用搭配,意为“创造回忆”,且回忆不止一个,memory变为复数memories。
四、阅读表达(共10小题;计10分)
A.补全短文
根据短文内容,从短文后的A~F选项中,选出5个适当的选项补全短文。
Have you ever thought that a simple nod or shake of the head could cause misunderstanding? 76 Even worse, these common gestures can even make you doubt your own ways of expression when you are misunderstood by others.
In most Western countries and China, nodding the head up and down means “yes” or agreement. Shaking the head from side to side means “no” or disagreement. 77 Parents are happy when their babies learn these gestures correctly.
However, this pattern is not followed everywhere. In some cultures, the meanings are totally different. For example, in parts of India, Bulgaria and Greece, nodding actually means “no” and shaking the head means “yes.” 78 Tourists often feel confused when locals seem to disagree with everything they say. This can lead to funny or even awkward situations in restaurants and shops.
Head movements can express more than just yes or no. In Japan, a slight tilt (倾斜) of the head may show politeness or listening. 79 In Turkey, a quick upward tilt of the head combined with a clicking sound means “no”. These differences require careful observation.
When visiting a new country, watch how local people use body language. 80 Moreover, when you are in doubt, use clear words directly to avoid further confusion.
A.This surprising difference has brought problems for visitors.
B.If you are not sure, ask politely or use simple words.
C.This can create real problems for travelers and business people.
D.These gestures are so natural that we rarely think about them.
E.Some common patterns are still widely accepted in most countries.
F.It does not always mean agreement, but rather “I am paying attention.”
【答案】76.C 77.D 78.A 79.F 80.B
【导语】本文是一篇关于跨文化非语言交际的说明文,探讨了点头和摇头在不同文化中的含义差异及其可能引发的误解。
【详解】76.本段首句问“你是否想过简单的点头或摇头会造成误解?”空白处后说“更糟糕的是,这些常见手势甚至让你在被误解时怀疑自己的表达方式”。因此空白处应指出手势可能带来的实际问题。选项C“This can create real problems for travelers and business people.”(这会给旅行者和商务人士带来真正的问题)符合逻辑,后文“even worse”进一步递进。
77.本段介绍点头和摇头在多数文化中的含义,空白处后说“父母在孩子正确学会这些手势时会很高兴”。因此空白处应说明这些手势很自然常见。选项D“These gestures are so natural that we rarely think about them.”(这些手势如此自然,我们很少去思考它们)符合逻辑。
78.本段指出在一些文化中意思相反,并举例,空白处后说“游客常常感到困惑”。因此空白处应说明这种差异给游客带来问题。选项A“This surprising difference has brought problems for visitors.”(这种惊人的差异给游客带来了问题)符合,后文具体说明。
79.本段讲头部动作的其他含义,举例日本和土耳其。空白处前说日本轻微倾斜表示礼貌或倾听,空白处后说土耳其的例子。因此空白处应解释日本倾斜头部的具体含义。选项F“It does not always mean agreement, but rather ‘I am paying attention.’”(它并不总是表示同意,而是‘我在注意听’)符合。
80.本段建议去新国家时观察当地人肢体语言,空白处后说“此外,有疑问时直接用清晰话语”。因此空白处应给出另一个建议。选项B“If you are not sure, ask politely or use simple words.”(如果不确定,礼貌地询问或使用简单的词语)与后文“use clear words”一致。
B.完成图表
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Hello, everyone. Today I want to talk about free-time activities and how to keep healthy. Here are some suggestions.
First, let’s talk about good hobbies. Reading books is a great hobby. It not only helps us relax after busy school days but also improves our reading skills. Gardening is another good choice. Taking care of plants can make us more patient and let us get close to nature.
However, some bad habits are harmful to our health. For example, staying up late to play computer games is very bad. It will influence our sleep and hurt our eyes a lot.
We also need to pay attention to safety when doing activities. Don’t cook hot food by yourself without your parents’ help, because you may get burned. And before doing any sports, remember to warm up your body first to avoid getting hurt.
Some 81 on Free-time Activities and Health
Good Habits
82 : helps us relax and improve reading skills.
Gardening: makes us 83 and close to nature.
Bad Habits
Staying up late to play games: bad for our 84 and eyes.
Safety Tips

- Always warm up before 85 to avoid getting hurt.
【答案】81.Suggestions 82.Reading books 83. more patient 84.sleep 85.doing sports/doing any sports
【导语】本文是一篇关于课余活动与健康的短文,主要介绍了好的习惯、坏的习惯以及安全建议。
【详解】81.第1段文章开篇点明谈论“课余活动与健康”,第3句“Here are some suggestions.”给出相关建议,因此标题填Suggestions。此处是标题,首字母需大写。
82.第2段“Reading books is a great hobby…”明确提到,阅读既能帮助我们放松,又能提升阅读技能。表格中该部分是“好习惯”的列举,因此填Reading books。此处为动名词短语作主语,首字母需大写。
83.第2段“Taking care of plants can make us more patient…”表明园艺使我们更有耐心,故填more patient。
84.第3段“It will influence our sleep and hurt our eyes a lot.”劝诫我们:熬夜玩游戏会影响睡眠、伤害眼睛。sleep在此处作名词,意为“睡眠”,无需变形。
85.第4段“before doing any sports, remember to warm up your body first…”建议运动前要热身。before是介词,后面需接动名词形式,因此用doing sports ,或者用doing any sports与原文一致。

Have you ever noticed that some people can eat a lot without gaining weight, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at food? Scientists have been studying this for years, and they’ve found that genetics (基因) play a big role in determining our body weight.
One important discovery is about the FTO gene. People with a certain type of this gene are more likely to be overweight. But having the “fat gene” doesn’t mean you’re destined (注定) to be fat. Your lifestyle choices still matter a lot.
Besides genetics, what you eat and how much you exercise are also important. Eating too much high-calorie food and not getting enough physical activity can lead to weight gain. However, studies show that people who sleep less than seven hours a night are more likely to have weight problems.
The good news is that even if you have a genetic tendency to gain weight, you can still stay healthy by making good choices. Eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and getting regular exercise can help control your weight.
41.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to lose weight quickly. B.Reasons why people gain weight.
C.The importance of sleep. D.The best exercise for weight loss.
42.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Eating a lot of food. B.Gaining weight easily.
C.Different eating habits. D.Food choices.
43.Which of the following is TRUE about the FTO gene?
A.Everyone has the FTO gene. B.It can make people eat less.
C.It can lead to weight problems. D.It is the only reason for being overweight.
44.According to the passage, which habit may cause weight gain?
A.Getting eight hours of sleep each night. B.Eating fruits and vegetables every day.
C.Sleeping less than seven hours a night. D.Doing exercise three times a week.
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Genetics are the only thing that matters. B.We can’t do anything about our weight.
C.Healthy choices can help control weight. D.Everyone will become overweight.

We also need to pay attention to safety when doing activities. Don’t cook hot food by yourself without your parents’ help, because you may get burned. And before doing any sports, remember to warm up your body first to avoid getting hurt.
