Sweden is doing something…”可知，此处表示瑞典与其他国家做法相反。根据语境，其他学校用科技，瑞典用纸质书，做法different“不同”。exciting令人激动的，important重要的，difficult困难的，均不符合对比逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：他们正在花大量的钱为学生购买新教材书，他们正在为学校添置更多的纸质书。 根据“more paper books for schools”可知，学校需要采购书籍，即bringing out“投入配备、添置”货源。根据语境，looking for表示寻找采购对象。catching up赶上，looking for寻找，looking up查找，均含义不符。 【23题详解】 句意：瑞典曾经是最早将电脑带入学校的国家之一。 根据下文“digital learning”及与纸质书对比可知，早期引入的是科技产品。根据语境，computers符合科技进课堂的背景。books书，desks桌子，radios收音机，都是非典型科技代表。 【24题详解】 句意：但是现在，瑞典部长Lotta Edholm期望看到更多的钢笔、铅笔和纸。 根据“She thinks that paper books are more important”可知，部长支持纸质书。根据语境，expects表示希望看到这一变化。dislikes不喜欢，refuses拒绝，allows允许，态度相反或不符。 【25题详解】 句意：据说他们可能会停止六岁以下的孩子使用数字学习。 根据“It’s said”可知，这是一种传闻或计划，具有不确定性。根据语境，probably表示可能性。carefully小心地，luckily幸运地，easily容易地，均无法体现不确定性。 【26题详解】 句意：一项研究表明，瑞典四年级学生在2022年至2023年间的阅读中表现较差。 根据后文“quiet reading…and real books”可知，主要关注的是阅读能力。根据语境，reading与后文措施对应。listening听力，drawing画画，singing唱歌，均在文中未提及。 【27题详解】 句意：科技可能不是原因，但该国决定让孩子们花费更多的时间在安静的阅读、书写和真正的书籍上。 根据“Technology might not be the…for this”可知，此处探讨成绩下降的缘由。根据语境，固定搭配“the reason for”表示……的原因。answer答案，process过程，purpose目的，均搭配不当。 【28题详解】 句意：但该国决定让孩子们花费更多的时间在安静的阅读、书写和真正的书籍上。 根据“make children... more time on”可知，此处需填表示度过时间的动词。根据语境，固定搭配“spend time on”表示花时间做某事。waste浪费，save节省，stop停止，均含义不符。 【29题详解】 句意：这会让学习更难，而不是更简单。 根据“not easier”可知，此处需填easier的反义词，表示负面影响。根据语境，harder与easier形成对比。quicker更快，slower更慢，funnier更有趣，都不构成直接反义。 【30题详解】 句意：他们希望学校回到使用印刷教科书和教师的知识。 根据“printed textbooks and teachers’…”可知，此处指教学内容的来源。根据语境，teachers’ knowledge指教师传授的知识，与书本对应。information信息，experience经验，ability能力，都不如knowledge贴切。 七、补全对话(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hey, Betty. ____31____ B: My teacher asked us to write a report on an invention. I’m thinking about what to write about. Can you give me some advice? A: Yes, sure. ____32____ Remember? B: Yeah. A:____33____ B: Sounds like a good idea. Do you know who invented it? A: Yes, the Montgolfier brothers. The first balloon flight was in June 1783, but there weren’t any passengers. B: Really? A: Yeah. ____34____ And there were three passengers. But they weren’t humans. They were a chicken, a duck and a sheep. B: Sounds interesting!____35____ Thanks a lot. A: You’re welcome. A. What are you doing? B. I’ll write about it. C. I admire him the most. D. We had a hot-air balloon ride last month. E. And the second flight was in September 1783. F. He won the Nobel Prize twice during his lifetime. G. Why don’t you write about the invention of the hot-air balloon? 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. G 34. E 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这段对话讲述了Betty向朋友寻求关于发明报告的建议，最终决定写热气球发明的过程。 【31题详解】 下文B的答语“My teacher asked us to write a report on an invention. I’m thinking about what to write about.”交代了正在做的事情，此处应是询问B在做什么，选项A“What are you doing?”符合问答逻辑。 【32题详解】 下文“Remember?”说明此处提及的是做过的事情或已知的事实，选项D“We had a hot-air balloon ride last month.”符合语境。 【33题详解】 下文回应“Sounds like a good idea.”，说明此处A给出了自己的建议，选项G“Why don’t you write about the invention of the hot-air balloon?”中“Why don’t you ...?”是提建议的句型，符合语境。 【34题详解】 上文“The first balloon flight was in June 1783, but there weren’t any passengers.”介绍了第一次气球飞行，没有乘客，下文“And there were three passengers. But they weren’t humans. They were a chicken, a duck and a sheep.”提到了有乘客，说明此处讲的是另外一次气球飞行，选项E“And the second flight was in September 1783.”符合叙述逻辑。 【35题详解】 空前“Sounds interesting!”表达了对对方所提建议的认可，空后“Thanks a lot.”表达了感谢，选项B“I’ll write about it.”符合接纳建议的语境。 八、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 Inventors of the Future The Young Inventor Club is calling on young students aged 12-15 to join in the invention competition.

It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11. Their father gave them a toy helicopter (直升机), which made them dream of flying. Their mother, who knew much about machines and science, also influenced them a lot. When the brothers grew up, they entered the printing business. Then they opened a bicycle repair shop. It wasn’t long before they were making their own bikes. However, the brothers never stopped to study flight. They studied what other people learned about flight. By 1900, the Wright brothers were ready to test their first Flyer. They tried many times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they achieved success. That day, the brothers flew four times. Orville flew the Flyer the first time. That flight lasted 12 seconds and went 120 feet. Their second flight went 175 feet and the third 200 feet. Wilbur flew the fourth flight. It reached 852 feet in 59 seconds. After that last flight, the Flyer became too broken to fly again because of the strong wind. They kept testing new designs to improve their Flyer. Later, they began to teach others to fly. They even opened their own flying school. The brothers did make travel more convenient for people. 39. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A. The Wright brothers’ happy childhood. B. The Wright brothers’ journey to success. C. The flying experiences of the Wright brothers. D. The influence of the Wright brothers’ parents on their dream. 40. What can we learn from the text? A. The Wright brothers’ mother was a science teacher. B. The Wright brothers flew four times on December 17, 1903. C. Wilbur Wright was 7 when he got the toy helicopter. D. The flying was canceled to avoid the strong wind. 41. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The first flight. B. The second flight. C. The third flight. D. The fourth flight. 42. What does the story tell us? A. Many hands make light work. B. Everyone can be an inventor. C. Hard work makes dreams come true. D. It’s always good to have more skills. 【答案】39. D 40. B 41. D 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了莱特兄弟从小怀揣飞行梦想，经过不断研究和试验，最终在1903年成功实现首次动力飞行的故事。 【39题详解】 第二段提到父亲送玩具直升机让他们梦想飞行，母亲对机器和科学了解很多也影响了他们，因此主要讲父母对莱特兄弟梦想的影响。 【40题详解】 由第三、四段“Finally, on December 17, 1903, they achieved success. That day, the brothers flew four times.”可知，1903年12月17日他们飞了四次。 【41题详解】 第四段前文描述了四次飞行：第一次Orville，第二次175英尺，第三次200英尺，第四次Wilbur飞了852英尺。接着“After that last flight, the Flyer became too broken...”，因此“that last flight”指第四次飞行，故It指代the fourth flight。 【42题详解】 文章讲述了莱特兄弟从小梦想飞行，克服困难、不断试验，最终成功，说明努力能使梦想成真。 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 Wu Mingzhu is a 94-year-old expert at growing melons (瓜), and she recently returned to Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where she worked for many years.

However, falling asleep isn’t as easy as expected. What’s wrong? According to a new study, your phone may be the problem. Researchers asked 85 kids aged 11 to 14 to wear body cameras for a week, starting from three hours before bedtime. A second camera was placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use in bed. The kids also wore a device (设备) to record their sleep. Researchers found that 99% of the kids used their phones in the two hours before bed, over half used their phones while in bed, and about a third used them after trying to sleep. The results showed that screen time in bed put off kids’ sleep by about half an hour and cut down on their total sleep time. The influence was larger when they played games or used more than one screen. “While the science guidelines (指南) suggest no screen time in an hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might help you get a better night’s sleep,” said the lead researcher, Bradley Brosnan. 46. What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Keep away from. B. Take care of. C. Keep an eye on. D. Get in the way of. 47. How many of the kids used their phones while in bed? A.

Kids’ unhealthy phone use habits B. Some useful ways to help kids sleep well C. A new device for monitoring sleep patterns D. A study on how screen time influences sleep 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇研究报告，介绍了关于青少年睡前使用手机对睡眠影响的研究。 【46题详解】 第二段指出：“A second camera was placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use in bed.”摄像头用于观察孩子们在床上使用手机的情况，因此“monitor”意为“监控、观察”，C项“Keep an eye on”符合。 【47题详解】 第三段明确指出：“over half used their phones while in bed”，“over half”即超过50%。 【48题详解】 最后一段Bradley Brosnan指出：“keeping phones out of the bedroom might help you get a better night’s sleep”，因此他的建议是将手机放在卧室外。 【49题详解】 全文围绕一项关于睡前屏幕时间（尤其是手机使用）对睡眠影响的研究展开，介绍了研究方法和结果，因此最佳标题为“一项关于屏幕时间如何影响睡眠的研究”。 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 On Oct. 24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese space company, sold two space travel tickets in a livestream (直播). This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. Each ticket was 1.5 million yuan. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each. The space trip will last about 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers will sit in a spacecraft (航天器) that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with six big windows and space for six people. The spacecraft will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some training before the trip. The trip will use the company's Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on O2 and kerosene (煤油) and can be reused. This makes the trip cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said a leader of Deep Blue Aerospace. The company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027. 50. What did Deep Blue Aerospace do on Oct. 24? A. It sold cheaper space tickets during a livestream. B. It made less than 1 million yuan by selling products. C. It gave away two free tickets for a trip to space. D. It live streamed two people being sent into space. 51. What do we know about Deep Blue Aerospace’s space trip? A. Travelers can stay in space for 12 days. B. Travelers can see Earth from above. C. Travelers will try spacewalks before returning. D. Children need to travel with their parents. 52. What can we infer from the text? A. Space travel will become popular in 2027. B. The company can keep travelers safe in space now. C. The first group of space travelers will be five people. D. Space travelers may be some of the rich people. 【答案】50. A 51. B 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国深蓝航天公司在直播中首次售卖太空旅行门票的相关信息，包括价格、行程时长、乘客体验、乘客要求以及火箭技术特点。 【50题详解】 根据第一段“On Oct. 24, Deep Blue Aerospace... sold two space travel tickets in a livestream. This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. Each ticket was 1.5 million yuan. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each.”可知，深蓝航天在10月24日的直播中销售了两张太空旅行票，原本每张150万元，但在直播中以每张100万元售出，因此可以推断在直播中售卖的太空票价格更便宜。 【51题详解】 根据第三段“Travelers will experience weightlessness for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely.”可知，旅行者将在太空中体验至少五分钟的失重状态，并且能够从上方看到地球，然后安全返回。因此可以确定旅行者有机会从太空看到地球。 【52题详解】 根据第一段“Each ticket was 1.5 million yuan. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each.”可知，太空旅行票原价每张150万元，即使在直播优惠中也需100万元。这样的价格对普通人来说非常昂贵，因此可以推断购买太空旅行票的人可能是经济条件较好的富人。 九、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 Once upon a time, there lived a woodman (樵夫) in a village. One day, he went to the forest to cut wood. He worked very hard. At midday, his cart (马车) was full and he felt thirsty (口渴的), so he decided to go back home. On his way home, he saw a teahouse. He stopped his cart and walked into the teahouse. Before he could take a cup of water, he found his wood burning. He shouted, “Oh, no! My wood is on fire!” “What can I do?” the man thought. Soon he took his cup, rushed out of the door, and poured the water on the fire. However, instead of being put out, the fire got bigger and bigger. The man was very sad. A passer-by (过路人) saw that and said, “How can you put out the fire with a cup of water? You’re just making useless efforts.” This story is used to say that the effort is too small to solve the problem. In fact, we should choose proper ways to solve problems. 53. Where did the woodman cut wood? (不超过5个词) ______________________________________________ 54. What did the woodman use to put out the fire? (不超过5个词) ______________________________________________ 55. What can we learn from the story? (不超过10个词) ______________________________________________ 【答案】53. In the forest. 54. A cup of water. 55. We should choose proper ways to solve problems. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇寓言故事，讲述了樵夫用一杯水试图扑灭木柴大火，结果火势反而变大，告诉我们解决问题要选择恰当的方法，否则努力会白费。 【53题详解】 根据第一段“One day, he went to the forest to cut wood.”可知，樵夫是在森林里砍柴的，故填In the forest. 【54题详解】 根据第二段“Soon he took his cup, rushed out of the door, and poured the water on the fire”可知，樵夫用一杯水来灭火，故填A cup of water. 【55题详解】 根据最后一段“This story is used to say that the effort is too small to solve the problem. In fact, we should choose proper ways to solve problems.”可知，我们应该选择正确的方法来解决问题。这是从故事中我们可以学到的重要教训。故填We should choose proper ways to solve problems. 十、单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11. Their father gave them a toy helicopter (直升机), which made them dream of flying. Their mother, who knew much about machines and science, also influenced them a lot. When the brothers grew up, they entered the printing business. Then they opened a bicycle repair shop.

However, falling asleep isn’t as easy as expected. What’s wrong? According to a new study, your phone may be the problem. Researchers asked 85 kids aged 11 to 14 to wear body cameras for a week, starting from three hours before bedtime. A second camera was placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use in bed. The kids also wore a device (设备) to record their sleep. Researchers found that 99% of the kids used their phones in the two hours before bed, over half used their phones while in bed, and about a third used them after trying to sleep. The results showed that screen time in bed put off kids’ sleep by about half an hour and cut down on their total sleep time. The influence was larger when they played games or used more than one screen. “While the science guidelines (指南) suggest no screen time in an hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might help you get a better night’s sleep,” said the lead researcher, Bradley Brosnan. 46. What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Keep away from. B. Take care of. C. Keep an eye on. D. Get in the way of. 47. How many of the kids used their phones while in bed? A.

This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. Each ticket was 1.5 million yuan. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each. The space trip will last about 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers will sit in a spacecraft (航天器) that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with six big windows and space for six people. The spacecraft will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some training before the trip. The trip will use the company's Nebula-1 rocket.

One day, he went to the forest to cut wood. He worked very hard. At midday, his cart (马车) was full and he felt thirsty (口渴的), so he decided to go back home. On his way home, he saw a teahouse. He stopped his cart and walked into the teahouse. Before he could take a cup of water, he found his wood burning. He shouted, “Oh, no! My wood is on fire!” “What can I do?” the man thought. Soon he took his cup, rushed out of the door, and poured the water on the fire. However, instead of being put out, the fire got bigger and bigger. The man was very sad. A passer-by (过路人) saw that and said, “How can you put out the fire with a cup of water? You’re just making useless efforts.” This story is used to say that the effort is too small to solve the problem. In fact, we should choose proper ways to solve problems. 53.
