Jimmy loved ice cream very much. He wanted to eat an ice cream every day. His parents agreed to let him have a small ice cream each night after dinner if he ate all of his vegetables.
One day, Jimmy went to Dr Katz to have a health check. Dr Katz told him that ice cream was not healthy. “It’s fine to have a little ice cream once in a while, but not every night,” she said.
After seeing the doctor, Mum came up with a new rule. “There won’t be ice cream at home any more. If you want to eat ice cream, you’ll have to walk to the ice cream stand (货摊) to buy one,” she said.
Jimmy wanted to give it a try. On Saturday afternoon, he took a walk with his mum to the ice cream stand a mile away. It was a hot and sunny day. Jimmy began to feel sweaty (满是汗的) and tired after walking for a while. He wanted to turn around, but he also wanted an ice cream. Walking was the only way to get it. Jimmy and Mum crossed several streets. They passed Jimmy’s school and the park. Jimmy’s legs felt heavy. When he was about to quit again, he saw the orange flag at the top of the ice cream stand!
Jimmy started to walk faster. The walk was hard, but when he reached the ice cream stand, he smiled. He finally got his ice cream and found that ice cream tasted even better after exercise. From then on, Jimmy enjoyed ice cream sometimes, and enjoyed walking too.
4. How could Jimmy get a small ice cream every night at first?
A. By eating all of his vegetables at dinner.
B. By finishing his homework on time.
C. By listening to the doctor’s advice.
5. Why did Jimmy’s mum make a new rule about ice cream?
A. To help keep Jimmy healthy. B. To spend more time with Jimmy. C. To buy ice cream at a lower price.
6. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 找寻 B. 放弃 C. 离开
7. How did Jimmy feel at the end of the story?
A. Disappointed and tired. B. Happy but nervous. C. Tired but happy.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
文章第一段第三句“His parents agreed to let him have a small ice cream each night after dinner if he ate all of his vegetables.”指出,吉米一开始吃完晚餐的所有蔬菜就能每晚得到一个小冰淇淋。
【5题详解】
文章第二段第二句“Dr Katz told him that ice cream was not healthy.”和第三段第一句“After seeing the doctor, Mum came up with a new rule.”指出,妈妈制定新规则是因为医生说冰淇淋不健康,是为了帮助吉米保持健康。
【6题详解】
文章第四段第五句“He wanted to turn around”和最后一句“When he was about to quit again, he saw the orange flag at the top of the ice cream stand!”指出,吉米之前想要放弃,此处指的是他再次想放弃,quit意为“放弃”。

C
Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate?
The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting.
The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world.
It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive.
Sleep also affects happiness. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood (心情). Besides,tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school,try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
Now you know the theory (理论). It’s time to put it all into practice.
8. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions.
9. What does the latest World Happiness Report say about money?
A. It is the key to happiness.
B. It brings short-lasting happiness.
C. It is the best way to help a friend in need.
10. Which paragraph mainly discusses the importance of human relationships?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4.
11. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To show what brings real happiness.
B. To compare different types of happiness.
C. To offer advice on how to manage money.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了什么是真正的幸福,指出幸福并不取决于金钱,而是来自人际关系、健康、睡眠等无形因素。
【8题详解】
第一段中,作者连续提出了多个问题,如“Have you ever wondered what makes people happy?” “What’s the secret?” “Is it money, good health...or simply chocolate?” 因此作者是通过提问的方式开头的。
【9题详解】
根据第二段中“Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting.”可知,金钱带来的幸福通常是短暂的。因此B项正确。
【10题详解】
第三段首句指出“real happiness comes from intangible things”,接着重点论述“One important thing is human relationships”,并具体说明与家人朋友相处融洽、行善举等会让人更幸福。因此第三段主要讨论人际关系的重要性。
【11题详解】
文章开头提出问题“什么让人幸福”,接着分别说明金钱并非关键,真正的幸福来自人际关系、健康、睡眠等,最后总结“Now you know the theory”。因此作者的写作目的是揭示什么能带来真正的幸福。
第二节 语篇补全(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)
Hi! I’m Xiao Fei, and I love reading more than anything else. ____12____ One time, I read for two hours and didn’t even hear my mum call me for dinner!
When I was five, my dad read me books with lots of colourful pictures. Now I can read very long stories and even English books all by myself. My teacher says I’m good at spelling, and I know many words. ____13____
If you want to learn English well through reading, here is my tip: read books you already know. Last month, I read The Time Machine in English because I love it in Chinese. ____14____ It was so much fun!
Remember you don’t need to understand every single word. ____15____ Sometimes I see a new word many times, and soon I just know what it means like magic!
So, just pick a book you like and let the story carry you away. You’ll discover a world full of wonder!
A. That’s all because of my love for reading.
B. When I open a book, I forget about everything else.
C. It’s important to read for at least one hour every day.
D. Just try to understand what is happening in the story.
E. I knew the story, so I could guess the words I didn’t know.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以小飞的口吻,介绍自己酷爱读书的成长经历,分享借助熟知原版读物学习英语的阅读方法与阅读心得。
【12题详解】
空格前句提到“最爱阅读”,空格后句举例说“读了两小时没听见妈妈叫吃饭”。选项B“When I open a book, I forget about everything else.”承上启下,既呼应了最爱阅读,又引出了后文忘记吃饭的具体例子,逻辑通顺。
【13题详解】
本段主要讲述作者阅读能力的进步(能读长故事、拼写好、词汇量大),空格处位于段末,应对上文进行总结。选项A“That’s all because of my love for reading.”将上述能力归因于阅读,符合语境逻辑。
【14题详解】
空格前句提到读英文版《时间机器》是因为喜欢中文版,即已知故事内容。选项E“I knew the story, so I could guess the words I didn’t know.”解释了利用已知故事阅读英文版的具体好处,与后文“很有趣”衔接自然。
【15题详解】
空格前句建议“不需要理解每个单词”,空后句提到“生词见多了自然懂”。选项D“Just try to understand what is happening in the story.”给出了具体的替代建议,即关注故事大意而非单个单词,符合阅读策略指导。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分25分)
第一节 完形填空(共10小题;每小题1.5 分,满分15分)
When the new term started, I joined the dance club. I wanted to look slim in my dance clothes, so I began to ____16____ very little. Soon, I lost some weight. I even mistook the feeling of weakness (虚弱) for a sign of success.
My dance teacher, Miss Li, noticed my ____17____. She found I often felt dizzy (头晕的) during practice. She tried to talk to me about the ____18____ of eating well, but I didn’t listen. We talked many times because she wanted me to be healthy, but I only ____19____ being thin. Then, during an important practice, I was so weak that I could hardly keep ____20____. Miss Li had to stop the music and come to check on me. She looked at me with deep ____21____, not anger. At that moment, I ____22____ my mistake. Being a good dancer needed strength, not just thinness. That evening, I wrote Miss Li a note to ____23____ and thank her for caring.
The next day, I saw Miss Li smiling at me. “I got your note,” she said softly. “Let’s start fresh.”

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者为显瘦节食伤身,舞蹈老师耐心劝导,作者醒悟后致谢,明白了舞蹈健康的真谛并感激老师的指引。
【16题详解】
句意:新学期开始,我加入舞蹈俱乐部。我想穿上舞服看起来苗条,于是开始吃得很少。
前文想要瘦身,所以对应少吃东西,eat(吃)符合语境;practise(练习)、sleep(睡觉)和变瘦的因果逻辑不成立。
【17题详解】
句意:我的舞蹈老师李老师注意到了我的变化,她发现我训练时经常头晕。
后文作者节食变虚弱、练习头晕,是身体状态发生改变,change(变化);safety(安全)、pressure(压力)无法对应身体头晕的外在表现。
【18题详解】
句意:她试着和我讲好好吃饭的重要性,但我没有听从。
老师劝说好好吃饭,意在告知合理饮食的重要意义,importance(重要性);risk(风险)、luck(运气)不符合老师劝说的说话意图。
【19题详解】
句意:我们谈了很多次,她希望我身体健康,可我只在意变瘦。
转折词but体现作者只在乎变瘦这件事,care about(在意、在乎);suffer from(遭受)、get over(克服)代入句意不通。
【20题详解】
句意:在一次重要训练中,我身体虚弱到几乎没法继续跳舞。
场景是舞蹈课训练,身体虚弱没法维持跳舞动作,dance(跳舞);learn(学习)、chat(闲聊)和舞蹈练习场景无关。
【21题详解】
句意:她满眼担忧地看着我,没有生气。
看到学生虚弱无法跳舞,老师的情绪是担心,worry(担忧);hope(希望)、surprise(惊讶)不符合看到学生身体不适的情绪。
【22题详解】
句意:就在那一刻,我意识到了自己的错误:优秀舞者需要体能,不是单薄的身材。
经历晕倒事件后作者醒悟自身节食的错误,realize(意识到);remain(保持)、repeat(重复)不符合顿悟犯错的语境。
【23题详解】
句意:当晚,我写便条向李老师道歉,感谢她的关心。
认识到错误后写信致歉,apologize(道歉);achieve(实现)、pay(支付)和写信认错的行为不匹配。
【24题详解】
句意:我从前以为舞蹈老师只教舞蹈动作。
后文转折:老师不只教动作,还教会我爱惜自己,因此从前认知是老师仅仅教舞步,only(仅仅、只);never(从不)、already(已经)逻辑相反。
【25题详解】
句意:我很感激她帮我找到了真正的内在力量。
老师纠正错误、教会自爱,作者心怀感激,thankful(感激的);angry(生气的)、nervous(紧张的)情感不符。
第二节 选词填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)(每空仅填一词)
voice, smart, he, when, quickly, an, from, lie, return, risky
There was a young crow (乌鸦) living in a forest. He was very arrogant (傲慢的) and believed he was the ____26____ bird in the forest.
One day, the crow flew up to a branch and saw ____27____ old owl (猫头鹰) sitting there. He said to the owl, “I’m the wisest bird in the forest.”
The old owl looked at ____28____ and asked, “What makes you wise?”
The crow said, “I can find the most delicious food and I have a beautiful voice.”
The owl said slowly, “You should be careful. Arrogance can be ____29____ sometimes.”
The crow flew away. Soon, he saw a large piece of bread ____30____ on a rock. He rushed down and took the bread. But just ____31____ he was about to fly away, a fox jumped out.
“Dear crow,” the fox said, “I heard you have a beautiful ____32____! Would you sing for me?”
The crow was happy and wanted to show off (炫耀). As soon as he opened his mouth, his bread fell to the ground. The fox ____33____ picked it up and ran away.
The crow felt ashamed (羞愧的) and remembered the owl’s words. He ____34____ to the owl and said, “You were right. My arrogance made me lose my food.”
The owl said, “Wisdom is not just about being clever. It’s about knowing what your actions can cause and learning ____35____ your mistakes.”
The crow thanked the owl and flew away. He would remember the lesson forever.
【答案】26. smartest
27. an 28. him
29. risky 30. lying
31. when 32. voice
33. quickly
34. returned
35. from
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了傲慢的乌鸦因听信狐狸吹捧丢了面包,事后从猫头鹰的话中明白要戒骄、从失误中吸取教训。
【26题详解】
句意:它十分傲慢,自认是森林里最聪明的鸟儿。the后接形容词最高级,smart的最高级是smartest,意为“最聪明的”,符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:一天乌鸦落在树枝上,看见一只老猫头鹰坐在那里。old是以元音音素开头的单词,不定冠词用an,an old owl表示“一只老猫头鹰”。
【28题详解】
句意:老猫头鹰看着他问道:“是什么让你觉得自己很聪明?”介词at后面用人称代词宾格,he的宾格是him,look at him表示“看着他”。
【29题详解】
句意:猫头鹰缓缓说道:“你要小心,傲慢有时是有风险的。”be动词后接形容词作表语,risk的形容词形式risky,意为“有风险的”。
【30题详解】
句意:不久它看见一大块面包摆在石头上。固定搭配see sth. doing sth.看见某物正……,lie表示“平放”,现在分词是lying。
【31题详解】
句意:可就在它准备飞走的时候,一只狐狸跳了出来。连词when引导时间状语从句,just when表示“就在……的时候”。
【32题详解】
句意:我听说你拥有动听的嗓音!beautiful修饰名词,voice意为“嗓音、声音”,a beautiful voice表示“动听的嗓音”。
【33题详解】
句意:狐狸飞快叼起面包跑走了。副词修饰动词短语“picked up”,quick的副词形式quickly,意为“迅速地、飞快地”。
【34题详解】
句意:它回到猫头鹰身边说道:“你说得对,傲慢让我弄丢了食物。”全文时态为一般过去时,return的过去式returned,return to…表示“回到……”。
【35题详解】
句意:智慧不只是头脑机灵,而是明白自身行为带来的后果,并从错误中吸取教训。固定搭配learn from mistakes表示“从错误中学习、吸取教训”,介词from符合搭配。
第四部分 综合技能(共两节,满分25分)

Chaka Salt Lake is a salt lake in Qinghai, China. Lying at an altitude of about 3,100 meters, it covers an area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt, with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source (来源) of salt in our country. On a clear day, the lake offers the beautiful reflection (映像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “Mirror of the Sky”.
Because of its wonderful views, people see the lake as one of the “must-go” places in China. The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive. Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd into Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. They just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for health. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful.
※ Do not eat the salt in the lake directly.
※ Wear sunglasses and a hat to protect you from the strong sunshine.
※ You can’t help taking photos, so you’d better take your camera with you.
※ Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly to deal with altitude sickness.

Jimmy loved ice cream very much. He wanted to eat an ice cream every day. His parents agreed to let him have a small ice cream each night after dinner if he ate all of his vegetables.
One day, Jimmy went to Dr Katz to have a health check. Dr Katz told him that ice cream was not healthy. “It’s fine to have a little ice cream once in a while, but not every night,” she said.
After seeing the doctor, Mum came up with a new rule. “There won’t be ice cream at home any more. If you want to eat ice cream, you’ll have to walk to the ice cream stand (货摊) to buy one,” she said.
Jimmy wanted to give it a try. On Saturday afternoon, he took a walk with his mum to the ice cream stand a mile away. It was a hot and sunny day. Jimmy began to feel sweaty (满是汗的) and tired after walking for a while. He wanted to turn around, but he also wanted an ice cream. Walking was the only way to get it. Jimmy and Mum crossed several streets. They passed Jimmy’s school and the park. Jimmy’s legs felt heavy. When he was about to quit again, he saw the orange flag at the top of the ice cream stand!
Jimmy started to walk faster. The walk was hard, but when he reached the ice cream stand, he smiled. He finally got his ice cream and found that ice cream tasted even better after exercise. From then on, Jimmy enjoyed ice cream sometimes, and enjoyed walking too.
4. How could Jimmy get a small ice cream every night at first?
A. By eating all of his vegetables at dinner.
B. By finishing his homework on time.
C. By listening to the doctor’s advice.
5. Why did Jimmy’s mum make a new rule about ice cream?
A. To help keep Jimmy healthy. B. To spend more time with Jimmy. C. To buy ice cream at a lower price.
6. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 找寻 B. 放弃 C. 离开
7. How did Jimmy feel at the end of the story?
A. Disappointed and tired. B. Happy but nervous. C. Tired but happy.
C
Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate?
The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting.
The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world.
It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive.
Sleep also affects happiness. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood (心情). Besides,tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school,try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
Now you know the theory (理论). It’s time to put it all into practice.
8. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions.
9. What does the latest World Happiness Report say about money?
A. It is the key to happiness.
B. It brings short-lasting happiness.
C. It is the best way to help a friend in need.
10. Which paragraph mainly discusses the importance of human relationships?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4.
11. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To show what brings real happiness.
B. To compare different types of happiness.
C. To offer advice on how to manage money.

Chaka Salt Lake is a salt lake in Qinghai, China. Lying at an altitude of about 3,100 meters, it covers an area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt, with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source (来源) of salt in our country. On a clear day, the lake offers the beautiful reflection (映像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “Mirror of the Sky”.
Because of its wonderful views, people see the lake as one of the “must-go” places in China. The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive. Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd into Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. They just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for health. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful.
※ Do not eat the salt in the lake directly.
※ Wear sunglasses and a hat to protect you from the strong sunshine.
※ You can’t help taking photos, so you’d better take your camera with you.
※ Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly to deal with altitude sickness.
When you travel to such a beautiful world of salt with snowy mountains and green grass around, you will feel like you are in a fairyland.
