In the heart of a big forest, there lay a tiny seed named Bruce. Bruce was a small seed with 11 dreams. He lay under the fallen leaves and soft soil, hoping to grow into a tall oak tree that would touch the sky. Bruce 12 believed that he would make it, although there were so many difficulties ahead.
As the seasons changed, Bruce 13 strong winds, heavy rains, and the heating sun. Many times, he felt discouraged and 14 whether he could ever become the tall oak tree he wanted to be. But he refused to give up.
To make himself stand firmly, Bruce’s roots grew 15 into the earth. His body grew upwards, and his leaves opened widely to reach for the sunlight. Over the years, Bruce’s growth was slow but didn’t stop, and his 16 had never changed.
One day, as the forest animals were amazed at the strength of the big oak tree that had grown from Bruce’s seed, they asked, “How did you become so strong?” The oak tree’s branches waved gently in the wind as it replied, “I am the result of 17 challenges and difficulties. Every storm I went through, every struggle I faced, made me stronger and more resilient (坚韧的). Just like the strength that lies in every seed, all of us have the 18 to overcome difficulties and grow into big trees.”
The animals listened carefully, 19 by the oak’s wisdom. They learned that greatness is often born from hard times, and that the journey of growth is as 20 as the dream itself.

A
It was a boring Saturday afternoon. Sarah sighed (叹气) as she looked at the homework on her desk. Outside, the autumn wind was blowing, and golden leaves danced past her window. “Why don’t you take a break and help me clear the yard?” her mom suggested.
Unwillingly, Sarah stepped outside. As she gathered (收拢) a lot of colorful leaves, a thought came into her mind. She carefully chose a few perfectly shaped leaves—a bright red maple leaf, a golden oak leaf, and some tiny birch leaves. Back inside, she cleared her desk, got some paper and glue, and began to create a piece of art with these leaves.
Time seemed to disappear. She lost herself in her work, placing the red maple leaf as a dancer’s skirt, the oak leaf as a tree crown (树冠), and the tiny birch leaves as flying birds. She was creating a small autumn world!
The next Monday, the art teacher showed Sarah’s leaf painting in the school hallway. A small crowd came together to admire it. “Such a creative use of nature!” one teacher said. “I never thought fallen leaves could be so beautiful,” a classmate said excitedly.
Sarah didn’t just clean the yard that day. She discovered a new way of seeing and thinking. She learned that beauty and inspiration could be found in the most common things, and that patience and attention could turn the simple things into something special. Now, every walk in the park feels like a search for something amazing for her next artwork.

B
A man had four sons. He wanted his sons not to judge (判断) things too quickly. So he sent them each in turn on a journey to go and look at a pear tree that was far away. He sent the first son in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest in autumn.
When they all came back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly and weak. The second son said, “No, it was covered with green leaves and full of promise.” The third son disagreed, saying it was filled with flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said it was full of fruit, full of life and achievement.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season. He also told them who they are — and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life — can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the achievement of your autumn. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Hold on through the difficult times and then better times are sure to come.
( ) 26. Why did the man send his four sons to look at the pear tree in four seasons?
A. Because the man knew the pear tree completely.
B. Because the sons didn’t get on well with each other.
C. Because the sons wanted to enjoy the different sights.
D. Because the man wanted his sons to think twice before judgement.
( ) 27. What does the underlined word “determine” mean according to the passage?
A. Prepare. B. Judge. C. Think. D. Believe.
( ) 28. Which season does “the pain of one season” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
( ) 29. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The pear tree was only beautiful in summer
B. The four sons were not honest with their father.
C. Difficult times will pass and better times will come.
D. The youngest son was the cleverest of the four brothers.
( ) 30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The pear tree had four seasons.
B. The man loved his sons very much.
C. The youngest son is the cleverest man.
D. Don’t judge life by one difficult season.
C
“Oh, woe is me, to have seen what I have seen, see what I see.” So says Hamlet in Shakespeare’s play. Hamlet was a very unhappy young man. Even when lovely Ophelia gave him a chance for love, he said no. He seemed to prefer staying unhappy.
Today we would say the prince had a bad attitude (态度). But most people want to be happy. A study across many countries found that happiness matters more than money or fame. This is true for rich and poor countries alike.
But what is happiness? How can we find it? The answer is different for everyone. For some, happiness comes from succeeding in a task, such as getting a good score on an exam or cooking a meal that their family enjoys. For others, it is simply staying positive. Their glass is half-full, not half-empty. When bad things happen, they do not fall into deep sadness. And sometimes happiness comes by surprise, such as when you meet an old friend by chance.
When I think of happiness, I think of children. You can often see them laughing on the playground, suddenly singing, or dancing around for no reason. They are just enjoying the simple joys of being alive. Seeing them happy makes me happy. I have learned one secret to being happy: enjoy other people’s happiness. Nothing makes me happier than to see my students graduate, find jobs, get married, have children, and discover their own happiness.
We do live in a “world of woe”. We see war, poverty (贫穷) and sickness in the news every day. We also have our own problems. But happiness is always there, even in our darkest moments. Unlike Hamlet, we can choose to be happy. We can open our hearts to the happiness that is all around us.
( ) 31. What is Hamlet’s attitude?
A. Brave. B. Careless. C. Honest. D. Negative.
( ) 32. What makes some people happy according to the passage?
A. Losing money. B. Worrying about looks.
C. Getting full marks. D. Having no friends.
( ) 33. Why is the writer happy to see her students graduate?
A. She gets their love. B. She wants their thanks.
C. She needs their help. D. She enjoys their happiness.
( ) 34. What does the underlined word “woe” probably mean?
A. Peace. B. Success. C. Sadness. D. War.
( ) 35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Hamlet’s Poor Life B. Choose to Be Happy
C. How to Be Successful D. Joys of Children
四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Life is not always easy, and there may be difficulties from time to time. But no matter how hard things are, there is always a way out. Staying hopeful and never giving up can help solve problems better.
Have you heard of the saying “The glass is half full.”? It means seeing the good side of a situation. If a person says “the glass is half empty.”, he may pay more attention to the bad side of a thing. You should always hold the positive (积极的) attitude because this positive attitude gives you the courage to keep going when you face trouble in daily life.
It is not always easy to stay happy and positive. Everyone may feel worried, angry or sad sometimes, and that is very common. However, having a positive attitude is helpful to people’s health. It can improve people’s health by making them feel happier and sleep better.
What’s more, when you believe that problems can be solved, you will not feel so nervous. The calmness makes it easier for you to overcome difficulties. The brain works better when it is not clouded by fear and worry. For example, imagine you are about to act in a school play. If you worry about forgetting your lines, you might make mistakes. However, if you believe you will do well and focus on the joy of performing, you will be likely to act much better. A positive attitude acts like a shield (盾牌) against stress.
In short, a positive attitude is like a key to success. It not only keeps us healthy and happy, but also gives us the strength to face challenges.
36. What can help solve problems better?
37. What does the saying “The glass is half full.” mean?
38. How can a positive attitude improve people’s health according to the passage?
39. When does the brain work better according to Paragraph 4?
40. When you feel worried or nervous, what will you do to keep positive? (Your answer should be different from the information in the text.)

【主旨大意】
本文讲述了一颗名为布鲁斯的小种子怀揣梦想,历经风雨和挑战,最终成长为一棵强壮的橡树,并激励森林动物们的故事。
11.B【11题详解】考查辨形容词析。句意:布鲁斯是一颗有着宏大梦想的小种子。从后文它希望长成高大的橡树可知,这里形容梦想的规模,“big”表示“宏大的”,符合语境。“proper”意为“合适的”;“strange”是“奇怪的”;“real”为“真实的”,均无法体现其梦想的远大程度。
12.C【12题详解】考查副词辨析。句意:布鲁斯坚定地相信自己会成功,即便前方困难重重。此处需要一个副词来修饰“believed”,表明相信的程度,“strongly”表示“坚定地”,符合布鲁斯对梦想的执着态度。“nervously”是“紧张地”;“politely”为“礼貌地”;“wisely”是“明智地”,均不符合此处语境。

14.D【14题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:很多次,它感到气馁,怀疑自己能否成为梦想中的高大橡树。结合前文它遭遇诸多困难,这里表达它内心的自我怀疑,“doubted”表示“怀疑”,符合情境。“realized”是“意识到”;“found”为“发现”;“wished”是“希望”,均不符合此处表达的自我质疑的语境。
15.A【15题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:为了让自己站稳,布鲁斯的根向地下生长得更深。根据“To make himself stand firmly”可知,为了让自身稳固,根要往更深处生长,“deeper”表示“更深地”,符合逻辑。“closer”是“更近地”;“faster”为“更快地”;“higher”是“更高地”,均不符合根生长以稳固自身的语境。
16.C【16题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:多年来,布鲁斯的生长缓慢却从未停止,它的梦想从未改变。从布鲁斯一直希望长成高大橡树可知,这里说的是它的梦想,“dream”表示“梦想”,符合文意。“order”是“命令”;“problem”为“问题”;“choice”是“选择”,均不符合语境。
17.B【17题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:我是克服挑战和困难的结果。根据语境,橡树认为自己如今的强大是战胜了诸多艰难,“overcoming”表示“克服”,符合文意。“regretting”是“后悔”;“refusing”为“拒绝”;“planning”是“计划”,均不符合此处表达战胜困难的意思。
18.D【18题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:就像每颗种子中都蕴含的力量一样,我们所有人都有克服困难并成长为大树的力量。这里强调人类和种子一样具备成长的能力,“power”表示“力量”,符合语境。“pride”是“骄傲”;“interest”为“兴趣”;“pleasure”是“快乐”,均不符合此处表达具备成长能力的语境。
19.C【19题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:动物们认真地听着,被橡树的智慧所激励。根据语境,动物们从橡树的话中受到鼓舞,“encouraged”表示“被激励”,符合情境。“praised”是“被表扬”;“advised”为“被建议”;“wondered”是“想知道”,均不符合此处语境。
20.B【20题详解】考形容词查辨析。句意:他们了解到伟大往往诞生于艰难时期,成长的旅程与梦想本身同样珍贵。这里表达成长的旅程和梦想一样有价值,“valuable”表示“珍贵的”,符合文意。“clear”是“清晰的”;“basic”为“基本的”;“popular”是“流行的”,均不符合此处表达成长旅程有价值的语境。

23.D【23题详解】最后一段上下文提到“She learned that beauty and inspiration could be found in the most common things...for her next artwork.”(她学到了美和……可以在最普通的事物中找到……为了她的下一件艺术品),这里的inspiration指的是激发创作的想法或灵感。选项 D“给你关于做什么或创造什么的想法”符合语境。
24.C【24题详解】最后一段最后一句指出“Now, every walk in the park feels like a search for something amazing for her next artwork.”(现在,每一次公园散步对她来说都像是在为下一件作品寻找惊艳之物),她之后会在散步(亲近自然)时更多地去观察和寻找素材,意味着她会花更多时间在自然中。
25.C【25题详解】文章开头提到这是一个“boring Saturday afternoon”(无聊的周六下午),结尾提到她发现了普通事物中的“beauty”(美)并将简单事物变得特别。文章主要讲述了莎拉如何将无聊的时光和普通的落叶转化为美丽的艺术作品的过程。选项 C“从无聊到美好”最能概括这一转变主题。
B
A man had four sons. He wanted his sons not to judge (判断) things too quickly. So he sent them each in turn on a journey to go and look at a pear tree that was far away. He sent the first son in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest in autumn.
When they all came back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly and weak. The second son said, “No, it was covered with green leaves and full of promise.” The third son disagreed, saying it was filled with flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said it was full of fruit, full of life and achievement.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season. He also told them who they are — and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life — can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the achievement of your autumn. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Hold on through the difficult times and then better times are sure to come.
( ) 26. Why did the man send his four sons to look at the pear tree in four seasons?
A. Because the man knew the pear tree completely.
B. Because the sons didn’t get on well with each other.
C. Because the sons wanted to enjoy the different sights.
D. Because the man wanted his sons to think twice before judgement.
( ) 27. What does the underlined word “determine” mean according to the passage?
A. Prepare. B. Judge. C. Think. D. Believe.
( ) 28. Which season does “the pain of one season” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
( ) 29. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The pear tree was only beautiful in summer
B. The four sons were not honest with their father.
C. Difficult times will pass and better times will come.
D. The youngest son was the cleverest of the four brothers.
( ) 30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The pear tree had four seasons.
B. The man loved his sons very much.
C. The youngest son is the cleverest man.
D. Don’t judge life by one difficult season.
【主旨大意】
本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述了一位父亲让四个儿子在不同季节观察同一棵梨树,从而教导他们不要仅凭一个季节就判断事物的整体。
26.D【26题详解】根据第一段“He wanted his sons not to judge things too quickly.”可知,父亲让儿子们在四个季节观察梨树,是为了让他们在判断之前三思。
27.B【27题详解】根据第三段“You cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season.”并结合上文儿子们只看到梨树一个季节的样子就下结论,可推determine意为“判断”。
28.D【28题详解】根据上文,第一个儿子在冬天看到梨树丑陋、弱小,父亲教导不要因为一个困难的季节(冬天)的痛苦而毁掉其余季节的快乐,因此“the pain of one season”指的是冬天。
29.C【29题详解】根据最后一段“Hold on through the difficult times and then better times are sure to come.”可知,困难时期会过去,更好的时期会到来。
30.D【30题详解】全文围绕“不要仅凭一个困难的季节就判断人生”这一主题展开,因此主旨是“不要用一个困难的季节来判断人生”。
C
“Oh, woe is me, to have seen what I have seen, see what I see.” So says Hamlet in Shakespeare’s play. Hamlet was a very unhappy young man. Even when lovely Ophelia gave him a chance for love, he said no. He seemed to prefer staying unhappy.
Today we would say the prince had a bad attitude (态度). But most people want to be happy. A study across many countries found that happiness matters more than money or fame. This is true for rich and poor countries alike.
But what is happiness? How can we find it? The answer is different for everyone. For some, happiness comes from succeeding in a task, such as getting a good score on an exam or cooking a meal that their family enjoys. For others, it is simply staying positive. Their glass is half-full, not half-empty. When bad things happen, they do not fall into deep sadness. And sometimes happiness comes by surprise, such as when you meet an old friend by chance.
When I think of happiness, I think of children. You can often see them laughing on the playground, suddenly singing, or dancing around for no reason. They are just enjoying the simple joys of being alive. Seeing them happy makes me happy. I have learned one secret to being happy: enjoy other people’s happiness. Nothing makes me happier than to see my students graduate, find jobs, get married, have children, and discover their own happiness.
We do live in a “world of woe”. We see war, poverty (贫穷) and sickness in the news every day. We also have our own problems. But happiness is always there, even in our darkest moments. Unlike Hamlet, we can choose to be happy. We can open our hearts to the happiness that is all around us.
( ) 31. What is Hamlet’s attitude?
A. Brave. B. Careless. C. Honest. D. Negative.
( ) 32. What makes some people happy according to the passage?
A. Losing money. B. Worrying about looks.
C. Getting full marks. D. Having no friends.
( ) 33. Why is the writer happy to see her students graduate?
A. She gets their love. B. She wants their thanks.
C. She needs their help. D. She enjoys their happiness.
( ) 34. What does the underlined word “woe” probably mean?
A. Peace. B. Success. C. Sadness. D. War.
( ) 35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Hamlet’s Poor Life B. Choose to Be Happy
C. How to Be Successful D. Joys of Children
【主旨大意】
本文是一篇议论文,以莎士比亚戏剧中忧郁的哈姆雷特为引,探讨了幸福的含义、来源以及选择幸福的态度,鼓励人们像孩子一样享受简单的快乐,并在他人的幸福中感受喜悦。
31.D【31题详解】第一段描述哈姆雷特“was a very unhappy young man”,即使有机会获得爱情他也拒绝,似乎宁愿保持不开心,说明他持有消极态度。
32.C【32题详解】第三段提到“For some, happiness comes from succeeding in a task, such as getting a good score on an exam”,因此“取得满分”能让一些人感到快乐。
33.D【33题详解】第四段作者说“Nothing makes me happier than to see my students graduate, find jobs...”,说明作者从学生的幸福中感受到快乐。
34.C【34题详解】最后一段第一句提到“We do live in a ‘world of woe’. We see war, poverty and sickness...”,结合上下文,“woe”应与战争、贫困、疾病等负面事物相关,意为“悲伤”。
35.B【35题详解】全文通过对比哈姆雷特的消极态度和作者对幸福的积极理解,强调我们可以选择快乐,因此最佳标题是“选择快乐”。
四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Life is not always easy, and there may be difficulties from time to time. But no matter how hard things are, there is always a way out. Staying hopeful and never giving up can help solve problems better.
Have you heard of the saying “The glass is half full.”? It means seeing the good side of a situation. If a person says “the glass is half empty.”, he may pay more attention to the bad side of a thing. You should always hold the positive (积极的) attitude because this positive attitude gives you the courage to keep going when you face trouble in daily life.
It is not always easy to stay happy and positive. Everyone may feel worried, angry or sad sometimes, and that is very common. However, having a positive attitude is helpful to people’s health. It can improve people’s health by making them feel happier and sleep better.
What’s more, when you believe that problems can be solved, you will not feel so nervous. The calmness makes it easier for you to overcome difficulties. The brain works better when it is not clouded by fear and worry. For example, imagine you are about to act in a school play. If you worry about forgetting your lines, you might make mistakes. However, if you believe you will do well and focus on the joy of performing, you will be likely to act much better. A positive attitude acts like a shield (盾牌) against stress.
In short, a positive attitude is like a key to success. It not only keeps us healthy and happy, but also gives us the strength to face challenges.
36. What can help solve problems better?
37. What does the saying “The glass is half full.” mean?

The Moment That Makes Me Positive
Life is full of different moments, but some can truly lift our spirits and help us feel better. In my experience, the moment that makes me positive happened during a math exam last month.
I was trying to solve a difficult problem but couldn’t find the answer. I felt worried and wanted to give up. Just then, my teacher walked by and said quietly, “You can do it. Believe in yourself.” Her words encouraged me a lot. I took a deep breath and tried again. Finally, I worked it out.
That moment taught me to never give up. Now when I face difficulties, I always remember her words and stay positive. I believe a small word of encouragement can make a big difference.
