It is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including more than 1,500 species of fish, 600 species of coral, and countless other animals such as sea turtles, dolphins and whales. The reef is not only a natural wonder but also an important ecosystem. It provides food and shelter for millions of marine animals. It also protects the coastline from storms and erosion. In addition, the Great Barrier Reef is a major tourist attraction, bringing in billions of dollars to the Australian economy every year. However, the Great Barrier Reef is facing serious threats. Climate change is the biggest danger. Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, which kills the coral. Since 1995, more than half of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef has died. Pollution from agriculture and industry is also damaging the reef. Chemicals from farms run into the ocean, causing algae blooms that block sunlight and kill coral. The Australian government has taken many measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef. It has set up marine protected areas where fishing and other activities are restricted. It is also working to reduce pollution and combat climate change. However, more needs to be done to save this precious natural treasure. 1. How long is the Great Barrier Reef?

Hard metal fingers lack the sense of touch; they cannot tell if an object is easy to break or hard to catch. To solve this, scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of electronic skin that gives robots a near-human sense of touch. This electronic skin is not like the rigid circuit boards inside computers. Instead, it is a thin, flexible film (薄膜) made from a special polymer mixed with conductive materials. When pressed or stretched, the electrical signals inside the film change at once. These signals are sent to the robot’s brain, allowing it to adjust its grip (紧握) strength in real time, tightening its hold on a heavy bottle while gently lifting a piece of bread. Traditional robotic sensors are expensive, often costing thousands of dollars per finger. In contrast, this new e-skin is cheap to produce. Researchers use a 3D-printing-like process to spray the material onto any surface, whether it is flat, curved, or even wet. More importantly, unlike old sensors that break easily, this skin is self-healing. If it gets scratched, the polymer chains reconnect when heated slightly, restoring the sensor’s function automatically. The technology still faces challenges. The present version requires too much power and generates heat during continuous use. The team is now working on a wireless version that does not require constant physical connection to the robot’s main processor. They are also trying to make the skin thinner, almost like a real human callus, so it does not affect the robot’s movement speed. Beyond factories, this technology could revolutionize artificial limbs (假肢). Imagine a soldier who lost a hand in a war being able to feel the warmth of a cup of coffee or the texture of a pet’s fur through his artificial hand. Clinical trials for such applications are expected to begin next year. As one researcher put it, “We are not just building smarter machines; we are giving them the ability to feel the world.” 1. Why is picking up a strawberry mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To prove robots are better at farming than humans. B．To show the difficulty robots have without a sense of touch. C．To explain why strawberries are easily damaged. D．To compare the weight of fruits and cars. 2. According to Paragraph 2, what is the main use of the new electronic skin when it is pressed or stretched? A．To store electrical energy for later use by the robot. B．To change its physical shape to match the object’s surface. C．To change internal electrical signals, enabling real-time grip adjustment. D．To transport wireless data to the robot’s brain without physical connection. 3. The underlined word “self-healing” in Paragraph 3 most probably means . A．breaking into pieces B．repairing itself automatically C．sensing temperature changes D．connecting to the internet 4. Where would the sentence “Although the skin is promising, it is not ready for widespread use yet.” best fit? A．At the beginning of Paragraph 2. B．At the beginning of Paragraph 4. C．At the end of Paragraph 5. D．At the beginning of Paragraph 1. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了斯坦福大学研发的新型电子皮肤，包括其工作原理、低成本、可自动修复的优势，当前面临的技术挑战，以及该技术在人工假肢等领域的应用前景。 【详解】1. 根据第一段“For robots working in factories, picking up a soft strawberry without crushing it is harder than assembling a car. Hard metal fingers lack the sense of touch; they cannot tell if an object is easy to break or hard to catch.”可知，文中提及摘草莓的例子，是为了说明机器人没有触觉时，无法判断物体的易碎性或抓取难度，存在操作困难。 2. 根据第二段“When pressed or stretched, the electrical signals inside the film change at once. These signals are sent to the robot’s brain, allowing it to adjust its grip strength in real time, tightening its hold on a heavy bottle while gently lifting a piece of bread.”可知，电子皮肤受压或拉伸时，内部电信号会立刻变化，这些信号会传给机器人的大脑，使其能实时调整握力。 3. 根据第三段“unlike old sensors that break easily, this skin is self-healing. If it gets scratched, the polymer chains reconnect when heated slightly, restoring the sensor’s function automatically.”可知，这种皮肤被刮伤后，聚合物链会在轻微加热时重新连接，自动恢复传感器功能，因此“self-healing”意为自动修复。 4. 根据第四段“The technology still faces challenges. The present version requires too much power and generates heat during continuous use.”可知，第四段开始介绍这项技术目前存在的问题，句子“Although the skin is promising, it is not ready for widespread use yet.”是对前文技术优势的转折，引出技术的不足，放在第四段开头最符合逻辑。 Passage 12 There is a special power in turning thoughts into words on paper. Writing, in its simplest form, is like a quiet conversation with yourself. It helps you understand your feelings, clear your worries, and give shape to your ideas. You don’t need perfect grammar or difficult words. What matters most is honesty and the courage to express what is truly on your mind. When you start writing, something interesting happens. As the pen moves or your fingers type, your thoughts begin to become clearer. Problems that once seemed too big may feel smaller and easier to deal with after you write them down. Writing gives you a chance to slow down and think carefully. It allows you to see your worries from a different point of view and find possible ways to solve them. Writing is also a good way to learn more about yourself. You can keep a daily journal to record your life, write a letter you never plan to send, or simply make a list of your thoughts at the end of the day. These simple habits can help you understand your feelings better and see things in a new way. Over time, you may notice that you become more patient and thoughtful. So, try to pick up a pen or open a notebook today. Give yourself some quiet time to write freely without fear of making mistakes. You may be surprised to find that writing not only brings you peace, but also helps you grow and better understand your own mind. In the long run, this simple habit can become a useful tool for solving problems and building a healthier, happier life. 1. How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an idea. C．By listing a number. D．By giving an example. 2. What may happen after you write down your problems? A．They disappear at once. B．They seem more difficult. C．They are forgotten quickly. D．They seem smaller and easier. 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of writing? A．Keeping a daily journal B．Writing stories for others C．Writing a letter to oneself D．Writing down your thoughts 4. What may be the best title for the passage? A．The Power of writing B．Forming a Writing Habit C．A Silent Conversation D．Ways to Solve Problems 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了写作的力量及其带来的益处。文章介绍了写作如何帮助人们理清思绪、缓解焦虑，并作为一种自我反思的工具，促进个人成长和问题解决。 【详解】1. 根据文章第一段第一句“There is a special power in turning thoughts into words on paper.”可知，作者开篇直接提出了一个关于写作力量的观点或想法，而不是通过提问、列数字或举例开始的。 2. 根据文章第二段第三句“Problems that once seemed too big may feel smaller and easier to deal with after you write them down.”可知，写下问题会让它们看起来更小、更容易。 3. 根据文章第三段内容，作者列举了三种写作习惯“keep a daily journal”、“write a letter you never plan to send”、“make a list of your thoughts”。文中并未提及“Writing stories for others”。 4. 通读全文，文章围绕写作的好处展开，如理清思绪（clear your worries）、解决问题（solve problems）、自我成长（grow）等。第一段首句“There is a special power... ”点明了主题。A项“写作的力量”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 13 There’s much excitement and argument about Artificial Intelligence(AI). One heated debate is whether robots will replace teachers in classrooms. Some think it’ll happen in the next ten years, while others believe a good teacher’s value, like building a child’s confidence and creativity, can’t be easily replaced. AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines. However, most importantly, I believe AI will not be able to copy the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence(情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction(互相作用), and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But robots may not do this well. I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decisions. These are skills that they can get as they get more life experience and are given the space to experiment. In short, AI in education has both advantage and disadvantage. It’s a useful tool. It helps students learn better and reduces teachers’ workload. But it can never replace teachers. Teachers understand students’ feelings, guide them, and help with their overall development. The future of education needs to combine the good points of AI with teachers’ special abilities. This way, we can create a nice and efficient learning environment. 1. How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories. B．By comparing views. C．By raising questions. D．By giving suggestions. 2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Why teachers can be replaced in classrooms. B．There is argument over Artificial Intelligence. C．AI is only being used successfully in education. D．How helpful AI can be to both students and teachers. 3. What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the use of AI in education? A．AI is useless in education. B．AI will completely replace teachers. C．Teachers should only rely on AI in teaching. D．AI can be helpful but teachers’ role is still important. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕人工智能是否会取代课堂教师展开探讨，先摆出两种对立观点，接着阐述人工智能对学生、教师的助力作用，再分析AI无法复刻人类情感与育人价值的短板，最后总结AI是教学辅助工具，教育未来需要结合AI优势与教师独特能力。 【详解】1. 根据文章第一段中“Some think it’ll happen in the next ten years, while others believe a good teacher’s value, like building a child’s confidence and creativity, can’t be easily replaced.”可知，一部分人认为机器人十年内会取代老师、另一部分人认为教师价值不可替代的两种不同看法，作者通过对比不同观点开启全文。 2. 第二段先说明AI已在多领域成功应用，随后讲AI能帮助孩子自由创新思考，还可以分担老师备课、复印资料等繁杂工作，整体介绍AI对学生和老师两方面的帮助。 3. 文章结构：P1总起抛出AI能否取代教师的争议；P2、P3、P4分述AI优势、AI短板、培养学生个性判断力；P5总结全文观点。属于总分总结构，首段总领，中间三段分论点，尾段总结。 4. 根据文章最后一段中“It’s a useful tool. It helps students learn better and reduces teachers’ workload. But it can never replace teachers. Teachers understand students’ feelings, guide them, and help with their overall development. The future of education needs to combine the good points of AI with teachers’ special abilities.”可知，作者认为AI有辅助作用，但教师的地位和作用依旧十分关键。 Passage 14 A Chinese motorcycle brand has made history. Last weekend, ZXMOTO secured two straight victories at the Superbike World Championship in Portugal. It was a monumental achievement for the brand in a sport long dominated (称霸) by European and Japanese giants. The story behind ZXMOTO is as inspiring as its victory. The brand was founded by Zhang Xue, a self-taught motorcycle enthusiast from a small village in Hunan Province. At 16, he started working in a repair shop. By 17, he had opened his own. At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain—just to appear on screen—a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team. After co-founding another motorcycle company in 2017, Zhang decided to venture out on his own in 2024. Less than two years later, his motorcycles stood on the world podium (领奖台). When the victory came, Zhang burst into tears thousands of miles away in Chongqing. “It is not about chasing a trophy,” he later posted online. “It is about loving the ride. And that, perhaps, changes everything.” Industry experts said the victory proves how far Chinese manufacturing (制造业) has advanced. “For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike—that’s a first,” said Zhang Duo, senior editor at Motorcycle magazine. The company invested nearly 70 million yuan in research and development in 2025, even though it reported a loss. But the gamble is beginning to yield results. After the championship win, orders for ZXMOTO motorcycles surged to over 5,500 units within days. The company is now valued at about 1.09 billion yuan. For Zhang Xue, the victory is merely the starting point. His ambition for the next five years is to capture more than half of the large-displacement motorcycle market currently held by international brands. “Instead of competing on price, we are moving into the premium segment with superior performance and cutting-edge technology,” he said. 1. What first helped Zhang Xue enter the world of racing? A．Opening his own repair shop at 17. B．Pursuing a TV crew in the rain as a teenager. C．Co-founding a motorcycle company in 2017. D．Winning a championship in Portugal last weekend. 2. Why did Zhang Xue start his own company in 2024 after co-founding another in 2017? A．Because his first company went bankrupt. B．Because he wanted to venture out on his own. C．Because he was fired from his job. D．Because he moved to another country. 3. What does Zhang Duo mean in Paragraph 4? A．Chinese motorcycles are still behind global brands. B．Winning with a Chinese-made bike is a historic moment. C．Foreign brands no longer dominate the motorcycle market. D．The victory was mainly due to the rider’s excellent skills. 4. Which of the following best reflects the message of the story? A．Victory belongs to those who compete on price. B．Passion alone can guarantee success in business. C．A clear goal and strong will are key to achievement. D．Success requires both love for what you do and wise investment. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文讲述了ZXMOTO创始人张雪凭借热爱与研发投入，带领中国摩托车品牌赢得冠军的故事。 【详解】1. 文章第二段指出“At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain—just to appear on screen—a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team.”，直接说明了张雪冒雨追电视摄制组这一举动首先帮助他进入了赛车世界。 2. 文章第二段指出“After co-founding another motorcycle company in 2017, Zhang decided to venture out on his own in 2024.”，直接说明了张雪在2024年自己创业是因为他想独立创业。 3. 文章第四段张铎指出“For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike—that‘s a first”，直接说明了中国凭借自主研发的量产车型，在世界锦标赛中包揽两回合冠军。 4. 文章第三段张雪说“It is about loving the ride”，第五段指出公司投入近7000万元研发（尽管亏损），胜利后订单激增。由此推断，故事传达的信息是成功既需要对所做之事的热爱，也需要明智的投资。 三、完形填空： 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 Passage 15 Sometimes, just a few words said at the right moment can change our life. For me, that moment came in high school. When I was in my second year, I 1 a singing class. Our first concert was a series of songs from Oliver! And I got a solo (独唱). I wasn’t nervous at all—until the week before the show, when I 2 learned that the whole school would come to watch. On the concert day, I stood backstage and looked 3 the curtain. The hall was filled up with students, teachers, and even parents. Then the curtain rose, and the students began to sing. As I looked at the crowd, I saw some bored 4 here and there. Then my eyes fell on the lonely microphone at the front of the stage, lit by a bright light. A sudden fear hit me: My teacher had 5 taught me how to sing into a microphone. When my turn came, I stepped up to the microphone, my heart 6 fast. The first part of my solo went well. I even felt excited until I reached the final high note. My lips were too close to the microphone, 7 the voice came out very loud from the speakers. It was terrible. I looked out and saw the whole audience jump back in their seats, some with mouths open. I felt so 8 that I wished the stage would open up and swallow (吞噬) me. The school day was only half over, so I had to go back to class. I 9 the floor as I walked slowly down the hallway—until a pair of sports shoes stopped me. I looked up and saw a senior student I had never met. I 10 myself for some bad words. Instead, he smiled and said, “You have a very powerful 11 .” I decided never to sing in public again, but his 12 words made me think again: Maybe I could sing. Encouraged by his unexpected 13 , I went on to study music at a university. Today, I am a singer and songwriter, 14 every weekend with three bands. Have you ever been changed by a few 15 words? I hope you will remember that one kind sentence can make a big difference. 1. A．joined B．found C．taught D．missed 2. A．quickly B．suddenly C．quietly D．recently 3. A．at B．through C．over D．past 4.

C 15. B 【导语】本文讲述了作者高中唱歌出丑后，一位学长的鼓励话语改变了他，使他最终成为歌手。文章告诉我们善意的话语能带来巨大改变。 【详解】1. 句意：二年级时，我加入了一个歌唱班。 根据“And I got a solo”可知，作者加入了歌唱班才有后面的独唱机会，因此应填“joined”。found“发现”、taught“教”、missed“错过”均不符合。 2. 句意：我根本不紧张，直到演出前一周，我突然得知全校都会来看。 根据“I wasn’t nervous at all—until...”可知，作者原本不紧张，但得知消息后突然紧张起来，因此用“suddenly”。quickly“快速地”、quietly“安静地”、recently“最近”都不合逻辑。 3. 句意：我站在后台，透过幕布向外看。 此处表示透过幕布看，“look through the curtain”意为“透过幕布看”，符合站在后台看观众席的场景。at“朝……看”、over“越过”、past“经过”均不准确。 4. 句意：当我看向人群，我看到到处有一些无聊的脸。 根据“bored”可知作者看到的是观众的表情或面孔，“faces”符合。 5. 句意：我的老师从未教过我如何用麦克风唱歌。 根据前文“A sudden fear hit me”以及后文“My lips were too close to the microphone”可知，作者感到很害怕，且其嘴唇太近导致声音过大可知，由此推断老师“从未”教过。ever“曾经”、always“总是”、often“经常”与逻辑相反。 6. 句意：轮到我时，我走向麦克风，心跳很快。 形容心脏紧张跳动常用“beating”。 7. 句意：我的嘴唇离麦克风太近，所以声音从扬声器出来很大。 前后是因果关系，后句为结果，选so。or“否则”、but“但是”、and“而且”均不合逻辑。 8. 句意：我感到非常难堪，希望舞台把我吞下去。 根据“wished the stage would open up and swallow me”可知作者感到极度尴尬，“sorry”在此表愧疚难堪。interested“感兴趣的”不符；excited“兴奋的”与情境相反；shy“害羞的”程度偏弱，且此处更强调“做错事后的懊恼难堪”而非天生害羞。 9. 句意：我一边沿着走廊慢慢走，一边盯着地板——直到一双运动鞋挡住了我。 根据尴尬的心情，走路时通常会低头看地。looked at符合。pointed at“指着”、shouted at“对……喊叫”、laughed at“嘲笑”都不符合语境。 10. 句意：我做好了听坏话的心理准备。 作者本以为自己会被骂，因此做好了被骂的准备。“prepare oneself for”是固定搭配，意为“为……做准备”。 11. 句意：你拥有非常有力的嗓音。 根据上文“the voice came out very loud from the speakers.”可知，作者唱歌失误但声音响亮。根据唱歌情境及“powerful”修饰，可知本处指指嗓音条件好，选voice。song“歌曲”、show“表演”、courage“勇气”不符。 12. 句意：我决定再也不在公共场合唱歌了，但他温柔的话语让我重新思考：也许我可以唱。 根据“Instead”及鼓励的内容“You have a very powerful voice”可知，他的话语是温和抚慰的。 13. 句意：受他意外赞扬的鼓舞，我继续在大学里学习音乐。 根据“Encouraged”以及前文“You have a very powerful voice”可知，学长的话是赞扬。 14. 句意：现在，我既是歌手，也是作曲人，每周末和三个乐队一起演出。 乐队演出常用“play with bands”，选playing。recording“录音”、learning“学习”、writing“写作”不符合。 15. 句意：你曾被几句简单的话改变过吗？ 呼应开头“just a few words said at the right moment”，这里指“简单”的话语，用“simple”。loud“响亮的”、boring“无聊的”、strict“严格的”均不符合原文语境。 Passage 16 What makes a person truly happy? A good job? A lot of money? The story of a 15-year-old boy from Ghana may give us a surprising 1 . At 4:30 a.m., while most teenagers are still 2 , Kofi has already started his daily work — collecting recyclable waste on the streets. Many people feel 3 for him, but Kofi doesn’t see himself as a victim. 4 using the money he earns, he buys books and attends night school. “Cleaning the city and learning in class — 5 make me happy,” he says with shining eyes. Separated trash (垃圾) costs more, so Kofi 6 designed a simple hand-pushed cart (推车) that can separate plastic, glass and paper while he walks. His idea not only saves time but also increases the 7 of recycled materials. A local company noticed his invention and offered him a small scholarship. “My hands are rough (粗糙的), 8 my mind is busy. Work is not just about surviving — it’s about 9 ,” Kofi smiles. However, Kofi’s neighbor Mensah, a high school graduate (毕业生) who 10 to take any “dirty job” sits at home complaining about life. “No good work, no 11 ,” Mensah often says. Kofi disagrees. “Happiness doesn’t fall from a good job title. It grows from the soil of honest work, watered by 12 .” Kofi’s story 13 us that true love for labor doesn’t mean you have to do heavy work. 14 , it means you pour your creativity and responsibility into whatever you do. Even a waste collector can turn trash into 15 , and hard work into happiness. After all, a meaningful life is not about the job you have, but how well you do it. 1.

A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述加纳男孩科菲回收垃圾并坚持学习的故事，告诉我们幸福源于诚实劳动和努力，而非工作头衔，强调了对工作的热爱与创造力。 【详解】1. 句意：一个加纳15岁男孩的故事可能会给我们一个令人惊讶的答案。 根据文章开头提问“What makes a person truly happy?”，故事是对此问题的回应，可知此处指“答案”。suggestion建议，question问题，example例子，均不符合语境逻辑。 2. 句意：凌晨4:30，当大多数青少年还在做梦时，科菲已经开始工作了。 根据时间“At 4:30 a.m.”可知此时大多数人正在睡觉做梦。working工作，studying学习，playing玩耍，均不符合常理。 3. 句意：许多人为他感到难过，但科菲不认为自己是受害者。 根据“feel...for him”及后文“victim”可知人们同情他，“feel sorry for”为固定搭配。joyful快乐的，proud骄傲的，angry生气的，情感色彩都不符。 4. 句意：通过使用赚来的钱，他买书并上夜校。 根据语境，钱是手段，“Through”表示通过某种方式。Beyond超过，Against反对，Without没有，均逻辑不通。 5. 句意：清洁城市和在课堂学习——两者都让我快乐。 根据谓语动词“make”为原形，主语应表示复数概念；结合“he says with shining eyes”，此处表示肯定含义，可知指两件事都让他快乐。either（两者之中）任意一个；neither（两者中）无一个，none没有一个，均不符合逻辑。 6. 句意：所以科菲专门设计了一个简单的手推车。 根据“designed...that can separate”可知是为了特定目的设计，“specially”侧重专门目的。especially特别地，completely完全地；properly适当地，是侧重程度或方式。 7. 句意：他的主意不仅节省时间还增加了回收材料的价值。 根据前文“Separated trash cost more”可知分类垃圾更值钱，即增加了价值。weight重量，energy能量，number数量，都与主题无关。 8. 句意：我的手很粗糙，但我的思想很忙碌。 前后句意存在转折关系，身体粗糙但精神丰富。and和，or或者，so所以，均逻辑不符。 9. 句意：工作不仅仅是为了生存——更是为了成长。 根据科菲买书学习的行为及积极态度，可知工作是为了自我提升。waiting等待，complaining抱怨，regretting后悔，与语境无关或表示消极。 10. 句意：邻居门萨拒绝接受任何“脏活”，坐在家里抱怨。 根据“sits at home complaining”可知他不愿做/拒绝“脏活”。decides决定，agrees同意，hopes希望，都不符。 11. 句意：没有好工作，就没有幸福。 根据后文科菲反驳“Happiness doesn’t fall from...”可知门萨谈论的是幸福。money钱，work工作，food食物，都偏离主题。 12. 句意：它生长于诚实劳动的土壤，由努力浇灌。 根据“honest work”及全文强调勤奋，可知幸福需要努力浇灌。luck运气，talent天赋，health健康，都不符合逻辑。 13. 句意：科菲的故事提醒我们，对劳动的真正热爱并不意味着要做重活。 故事起到教育启示作用，“reminds us that”为常用搭配。recommends推荐，requires要求，respects尊重，均不符。 14. 句意：相反，它意味着你将创造力和责任感投入所做之事。 前文说“doesn’t mean”，此处说“means”，构成转折对比。Moreover此外，Otherwise否则，Anyway无论如何，均逻辑不符。 15. 句意：即使是垃圾收集者也能变废为宝。 “turn trash into treasure”为固定习语，且对应后文“hard work into happiness”。treatment治疗，trouble麻烦，trust信任，都不符合语境。 Passage 17 It was a warm Friday evening in late August. Soft rain was falling when I followed a path into the woods. In front of me was the Maverick Concert Hall— 1 the “concert hall” didn’t feel like the right word for it. It looked more like a wooden barn (谷仓) than a 2 concert hall. When I sat down, the bench creaked under my weight. I looked at the stage, and a title jumped out at me: 4'33" by John Cage. I thought 3 myself: “Four minutes and thirty-three seconds... of what?” The title sounded special, and it made me 4 even more. Then the pianist stepped onto the stage and sat at the piano. He 5 the piano cover, placed the sheet music on the stand, and set a watch. We all waited, but he just looked at the watch and did 6 . At first, everyone waited in 7 , but it soon became awkward(尴尬的). What’s going on? Did I come to the wrong concert? I felt so 8 and didn’t understand the situation. All of a sudden, a loud cough broke the silence. People started 9 to each other. Outside, wind brushed the leaves, making a soft shhh sound. Somewhere in the woods, a bird called out once. And then, I 10 the smallest sounds that I almost never paid attention to: my own breathing and heartbeat. Suddenly, I understood 11 the pianist didn’t play anything. Every sound around us was part of the 12 . There was no such thing as perfect silence—only sounds we don’t notice until we 13 and pay attention. On my way out, I found myself listening more 14 to the sounds around me. The night felt 15 than before, but in a wonderful way. Every footstep, the sound of wind brushing trees, and even faraway voices...they all mixed into beautiful music. 1. A．unless B．though C．since D．if 2. A．bright B．common C．large D．general 3.

B 【导语】本文讲述作者参加一场特殊音乐会的经历。钢琴家未演奏，作者起初困惑，后悟出周围声音即是音乐，学会用心聆听。 【详解】1. 句意：在我面前的是Maverick音乐厅——尽管“音乐厅”这个词感觉不太对。 根据前后文逻辑，名为音乐厅但感觉不像，存在转折让步关系。用though“尽管”引导让步状语从句。unless除非、since自从/既然、if如果，均不符合逻辑。 2. 句意：它看起来更像木制谷仓，而不是普通的音乐厅。 后文将它与谷仓对比，强调它不像“普通的”音乐厅，common“普通的”符合题意。bright明亮的、large巨大的、general一般的/总体的，均不符合。 3. 句意：我心里想：“四分三十三秒……什么的？” think to oneself为固定搭配，意为“心里想/暗自想”，to符合搭配。with和、for为了、by通过，均不能构成此短语。 4. 句意：标题听起来很特别，让我更加好奇。 前文说标题特别，后文说“even more”，说明作者更加“想知道/好奇”，wonder“想知道/好奇”符合题意。decide决定、follow跟随、hope希望，均不符合。 5. 句意：他打开琴盖，把乐谱放在谱架上，并设了手表。 此处表示“打开”琴盖，open the piano cover“打开钢琴盖”，open“打开”符合语境。touched触摸、moved移动、played演奏，均不符合。 6. 句意：我们都等着，但他只是看着手表，什么也没做。 根据后文他一直没有弹奏，可知他“什么也没做”，nothing符合题意。everything每件事、something某事、anything任何事（常用于否定/疑问句），均不符合。 7. 句意：起初，大家在沉默中等待，但很快变得尴尬。 根据后文“broke the silence”及氛围尴尬，可知大家一开始在“安静/沉默”中等待，silence“沉默”符合题意。danger危险、surprise惊讶、trouble麻烦，均不符合。 8. 句意：我感到很担心，不明白这种情况。 根据前文作者不理解为什么钢琴家不弹奏，可知他感到“困惑的”，worried“担心的”更贴合疑惑焦虑的语境。tired疲惫的、excited兴奋的、lonely孤独的，均不符合。 9. 句意：人们开始互相低语。 根据打破沉默后的反应，人们开始“低声交谈”，whispering“低语”符合题意。laughing笑、shouting喊叫、singing唱歌，均不符合尴尬时小声说话的场景。 10. 句意：然后，我注意到了那些我几乎从未留意的最小声音。 根据后文“my own breathing and heartbeat”，可知作者“注意到”了这些细微声音，noticed符合题意。forgot忘记、remembered记得、missed错过，均不符合。 11. 句意：突然，我明白了钢琴家为什么不演奏任何东西。 作者领悟了其中的道理，明白了“为什么”钢琴家不弹奏，why符合题意。how如何、when何时、where哪里，均不符合。 12. 句意：我们周围的每一个声音都是音乐会的一部分。 前文提到这是John Cage的作品4'33"，其理念是周围的环境音就是音乐本身，concert“音乐会”符合题意。stage舞台、noise噪音、game游戏，均不符合。 13. 句意：只有当我们慢下来并关注时，才会注意到那些声音。 根据“and pay attention”可知，需要先“慢下来”才能去注意，slow down“慢下来”符合题意。hurry up快点、look down俯视/轻视、cheer up振作起来，均不符合。 14. 句意：在出去的路上，我发现自己更仔细地聆听周围的声音。 根据后文作者描述了各种细微声音，说明他“仔细地”在听，carefully“仔细地”符合题意。bravely勇敢地、properly恰当地、hardly几乎不，均不符合。 15. 句意：夜晚感觉比以前更安静了，但以一种美妙的方式。 根据后文“in a wonderful way”及作者开始欣赏环境音，可知夜晚显得“更安静了”，calmer“更安静的”符合题意。louder更响的、brighter更明亮的、colder更冷的，均不符合。 Passage 18 Li Wei, a 15-year-old boy from Lianyungang, has developed a deep interest in sugar painting. He first saw it at a temple fair when he was twelve. The craftsman 1 turned hot liquid sugar into vivid shapes. From that moment, he made up his mind to 2 the skill. Two years later, he became the student of a master named Old Chen. At first, Li Wei’s hands 3 a lot, and he often failed to control the sugar. He felt 4 . But Old Chen encouraged him, “Practice makes perfect. You need to be 5 .” Li Wei practised 6 simple designs like flowers and birds every day after school. Gradually, he could create more 7 shapes, such as dragons and phoenixes. Last month, a cultural festival was 8 at his school. Li Wei showed his sugar paintings there. Many students 9 around his stand, amazed by his skills. Some even 10 their own sugar paintings. A girl said, “Your sugar paintings are not just food, but 11 of art.” Li Wei felt proud and decided to 12 this traditional art. He plans to make videos to share online. “I hope more people can enjoy sugar painting 13 understand Chinese culture,” he said. The old craft is 14 kept alive by young hands like his. Li Wei believes that as long as someone 15 it on, the sweet art will never disappear. 1. A．quickly B．slowly C．badly D．kindly 2. A．teach B．learn C．sell D．collect 3.

A 【导语】本文主要讲述了连云港少年李伟学习糖画技艺，克服困难，并在学校文化节展示，决心传承弘扬传统文化的故事。 【详解】1. 句意：工匠迅速将热糖液变成生动的形状。 根据“turned hot liquid sugar into vivid shapes”及糖画制作需趁热快速成型的特点可知，动作需快。quickly“迅速地”符合语境，slowly“缓慢地”不符合制作常识。 2. 句意：从那一刻起，他下定决心学习这项技艺。 根据后文“became the student of a master”可知，他想成为学生，即学习这项技艺。learn“学习”符合逻辑，其他选项与成为学生语境不符。 3. 句意：起初，李伟的手颤抖得厉害，经常无法控制糖。 根据“failed to control the sugar”可知，手不稳。shook“颤抖”符合语境，其他选项无法导致失败。 4. 句意：他感到沮丧。 根据“often failed”可知，失败会带来负面情绪。frustrated“沮丧的”符合语境，excited“兴奋的”、relaxed“放松的”以及surprised“惊讶的”均不符合语境。 5. 句意：你需要有耐心。 根据“Practice makes perfect”可知，练习需要时间，故需耐心。patient“耐心的”符合语境，其他选项与练习过程无关。 6. 句意：李伟每天放学后练习画花鸟这类简单的图案。 根据“simple designs”及糖画制作方式可知，是画图案。drawing“画”符合逻辑，其他选项不符合制作动作。 7. 句意：渐渐地，他能创作龙凤这类更复杂的造型。 根据“such as dragons and phoenixes”对比前文“flowers and birds”可知，难度增加。difficult“困难的”符合语境。 8. 句意：上个月，学校举办了一场文化节。 根据“cultural festival”可知，活动被举办。held“举办”符合搭配，其他选项不符合活动语境。 9. 句意：许多学生聚集在他的摊位周围。 根据“around his stand”可知，人群聚集。gathered“聚集”符合语境，walked“走”、looked“看”动作力度不够。 10. 句意：有些人甚至订购了他们自己的糖画。 根据摊位场景及“their own sugar paintings”可知，是购买/订购。ordered“订购”符合逻辑，其他选项不符合交易语境。 11. 句意：你的糖画不仅是食物，更是艺术品。 固定搭配works of art意为“艺术品”。works“作品”符合搭配。 12. 句意：李伟决定传播这门传统艺术。 根据“make videos to share online”可知，目的是传播。spread“传播”符合语境，其他选项与分享目的相反。 13. 句意：希望更多人能享受糖画并理解中国文化。 由于“enjoy…understand…”前后为并列关系。应选用并列连词and“和”连接，but表转折，or表选择，so表因果，均不符。 14. 句意：这项古老的手艺正依靠像他这样的年轻后辈焕发生机。 根据“is…kept”及语境表示正在进行，需用现在进行时被动语态。应选用being“正在（被）”构成is being kept。 15. 句意：只要有人将它传承下去，这门甜蜜的艺术永远不会消失。 根据“as long as”引导条件状语从句用一般现在时表将来，且主语“someone”为单数。应选用carries“传承”。 Passage 19 Everything seemed well and peaceful in Lilliput and I saw no problems for the people there. But I was 1 . One day a good friend, Reldresal, told me about a terrible 2 between Lilliput and a country nearby. “My dear Gulliver,” he said, “please do not think that everything is 3 here in Lilliput. The truth is very different. We are now fighting against a country called Blefuscu. More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died.” “How terrible,” I said. “But 4 are you fighting?” “We are fighting because of eggs,” he answered. “Eggs!” I cried, with great 5 . I could not believe my ears but Reldresal continued to 6 . “It is not a small matter, Gulliver. On Lilliput we have always opened our boiled eggs from the big end but one day the emperor’s grandfather 7 his finger doing this. As a result, the emperor introduced a new rule: everyone must break open their eggs at the 8 end.” “But why start a war because of this?” I asked. “Small end, big end. Is it 9 ?” “It is very important for some Lilliputians,” Reldresal continued. “Some have even run away to the island of Blefuscu because they do not want to 10 their egg-breaking habit.” “Why have they moved to Blefuscu?” I asked. “On the island of Blefuscu,” my friend continued, “they have not 11 this new rule. They continue to break their eggs at the big end. The people there do not want to go 12 their old rules and traditions. For this reason the emperor of Blefuscu had war against Lilliput.” I should say that this story seemed 13 to me. Can you 14 two countries fighting because of boiled eggs? But I didn’t want to make my friend Reldresal angry and I have heard of many wars which have started for the 15 reasons. So I continue to listen with interest. 1. A．wrong B．right C．true D．unusual 2.

C 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，主要讲述了格列佛在小人国得知，小人国与邻国因为打破煮鸡蛋是从大头还是小头敲开这一微小原因而发生战争的荒诞故事。 【详解】1. 句意：但我错了。 前文提到“我”觉得小人国一切都很好很和平，没有问题，但后面话锋一转，说明实际情况并非如此，“我”的想法是错误的，所以选wrong。 2. 句意：有一天，好朋友雷尔德雷萨尔告诉我小人国和附近一个国家之间发生了一场可怕的战争。 根据后文“We are now fighting against a country called Blefuscu”可知，小人国和邻国正在打仗，所以这里是说“我”的朋友告诉“我”小人国和邻国之间有一场可怕的战争，fight是“战争，战斗”，符合语境。discussion是“讨论”；meeting是“会议”；conversation是“对话”，均不符合文意。 3. 句意：亲爱的格列佛，请不要认为小人国这里的一切都很完美。 根据后文“The truth is very different. We are now fighting against a country called Blefuscu”可知，实际上小人国并不像“我”认为的那样一切都好，所以这里说不要认为小人国这里一切都完美，perfect是“完美的”，符合语境。terrible是“糟糕的”；common是“普通的”；special是“特殊的”，均不符合文意。 4. 句意：但是你们为什么打仗？ 根据回答“We are fighting because of eggs”可知，这里是问“你们为什么打仗”，why是“为什么”，符合语境。where是“哪里”；what是“什么”；when是“什么时候”，均不符合文意。 5. 句意：“鸡蛋！”我大叫，带着极大的惊讶。 听到打仗的原因是因为鸡蛋，“我”应该是感到非常惊讶，with great surprise是“非常惊讶地”，符合语境。joy是“喜悦”；fear是“恐惧”；pity是“怜悯”，均不符合文意。 6. 句意：我不敢相信我的耳朵，但雷尔德雷萨尔继续解释。 根据前文“I could not believe my ears but Reldresal continued to...”，这里表达雷尔德雷萨尔继续解释事情，explain有“解释”的意思，符合语境。而announce是“宣布”，report是“报道”，均不符合此处要表达的继续说明情况的意思。 7. 句意：在小人国，我们总是从大头打开煮鸡蛋，但是有一天皇帝的祖父在这样做的时候割伤了他的手指。 结合语境“the emperor’s grandfather his finger doing this”，这里说皇帝的祖父在敲鸡蛋大头的时候伤到了手指，cut有“割伤，划伤”的意思，符合此处伤到手指的语境。killed是“杀死”，beat是“击打”，touched是“触摸”，都不合适。 8. 句意：结果，皇帝出台了一项新规定：每个人必须在较小的一头打破鸡蛋。 前文提到以前从鸡蛋大头打开，现在皇帝颁布新规则，那自然是要从鸡蛋小头打开，smaller表示“更小的”，符合这里说从鸡蛋小头打开的意思，bigger是“更大的”，heavier是“更重的”，thinner是“更瘦的，更薄的”，均不符合。 9. 句意：小头，大头。这重要吗？ 根据前文“But why start a war because of this?”以及后文“It is very important for some Lilliputians”，这里表达因为鸡蛋从哪头打开而开战是否重要的疑问，important符合语境，necessary是“必要的”，possible是“可能的”，interesting是“有趣的”，都不能准确表达此处对于这件事是否重要的疑问。 10. 句意：有些人甚至逃到了不来夫斯库岛，因为他们不想改变他们打破鸡蛋的习惯。 根据“Some have even run away to the island of Blefuscu because they do not want to...their egg-breaking habit”，一些人跑到夫斯库岛是因为不想改变他们敲鸡蛋的习惯，change有“改变”的意思，keep是“保持”，improve是“提高，改善”，develop是“发展”，这里说不想改变习惯，所以填change。 11. 句意：在不来夫斯库岛上，他们没有介绍这项新规定。 这里需要一个动词，结合语境，朋友是在介绍在不来夫斯古岛上的情况，introduced有“介绍”的意思，broken意为“破碎的”，explained是“解释”，described是“描述”，均不符合此处描述情境的意思，所以选introduced。 12. 句意：那里的人不想违背他们的旧规则和传统。 have war against表示“与……开战”，这里说不来夫斯古皇帝与利立浦特开战，用against符合搭配和语义。 13. 句意：我应该说这个故事对我来说似乎难以置信。 根据后面作者质疑两个国家会因为煮鸡蛋而打仗，可知这个故事对作者来说是难以置信的。unforgettable是“难忘的”，uncomfortable是“不舒服的”，uncountable是“不可数的”，unbelievable“难以置信的”符合语境。 14. 句意：你能想象两个国家因为煮鸡蛋而打仗吗？ 这里表达作者难以想象两个国家会因为煮鸡蛋而打仗，imagine有“想象”的意思，guess是“猜测”，consider是“考虑”，suppose是“假设”，imagine更符合此处语义。 15. 句意：但我不想让我的朋友雷尔德雷萨尔生气，而且我听说过许多因为最愚蠢的原因而发动的战争。 结合前文因为煮鸡蛋这种小事引发战争，可知作者认为这是最愚蠢的原因，silliest“最愚蠢的”符合语境。best是“最好的”，biggest是“最大的”，kindest是“最善良的”，均不符合。 Passage 20 When I was in Grade 8, my mother suggested that I help a younger student named Riley who had trouble understanding fractions such as . At first, I wondered whether I could really be 1 , but my mother believed the experience would teach me something important as well. The first time I visited her flat, Riley sat at the kitchen table with her arms crossed, silently looking at her 2 math textbook instead of me. I opened the textbook and said, “Alright, Riley. Let’s try some problems together.” Riley raised her eyes and said 3 , “Why should I learn this? I’ll probably just work at my uncle’s restaurant someday!” Her words surprised me. In my family, 4 had always been thought important, so I always tried my best to study all the subjects. Still, I realized that simply telling her this would not 5 her mind. Maybe Riley needed something different from the textbook. That evening, I thought about Riley’s words. Maybe not everything we learn is useful later, 6 practicing could help her in many ways. The next morning, I returned to her home. Riley was sitting quietly, holding her math textbook. I smiled and asked her if she wanted to try a new way of 7 . She nodded. I 8 some flour (面粉) and other materials. “Today we’ll make cookies,” I told her.  “We need one and three-fourths cups of flour,” I explained. Riley looked 9 . “Er... how much is three-fourths?” I got a cup and 10 it with flour. “See? This is one cup.” Then I poured out some flour until the cup was three-fourths full. “Now, it’s three-fourths—like cutting a pizza into four 11 parts and taking three.” Riley laughed. “Oh, got it!” She started working patiently, step by step, and developed more 12 . As the lessons continued, Riley started asking questions more often. I found she was beginning to 13 the learning way instead of avoiding it. Little by little, math no longer seemed impossible to her. Encouraged by Riley’s progress, I devoted more time to other younger students in my neighborhood. Watching them improve gave me a deep sense of 14 . A simple teaching task in the beginning grew into a meaningful 15 far beyond the textbook, teaching me patience, creativity, and the true value of learning. 1.

A 【导语】本文讲述了作者在八年级时辅导一个低年级女孩Riley学习分数的故事。作者通过做饼干的实际操作，成功帮助Riley理解了数学，自己也从中获得了成就感并懂得了学习的真正价值。 【详解】1. 句意：起初，我想知道我是否真的能帮上忙，但我母亲相信这段经历也会教给我一些重要的东西。 “whether I could really be...”表示“我是否真的能……”，结合前文“help a younger student”，helpful“有帮助的”符合语境，careful“仔细的”、thankful“感激的”、cheerful“开心的”均与“帮助他人”的上下文逻辑不符。 2. 句意：Riley双臂交叉坐在厨房的桌子旁，默默地看着她合上的数学课本，而不是看着我。 根据后文“I opened the textbook”可知，此时课本处于合上的状态，closed“合上的”符合语境。new“新的”、thick“厚的”、broken“破损的”均与后文“打开课本”的情节逻辑矛盾。 3. 句意：Riley抬起眼睛，不耐烦地说：“我为什么要学这个？我将来可能只会在我叔叔的餐馆里工作！” 结合Riley抵触数学、不想学习的态度，她说话的语气应是不耐烦的，impatiently“不耐烦地”符合语境。shyly“害羞地”、nervously“紧张地”、unwisely“不明智地”均不符合她抵触、抗拒的情绪状态。 4. 句意：在我的家庭里，教育一直被认为很重要，所以我总是尽我最大的努力去学习所有的科目。 后文提到“study all the subjects”，说明家庭重视的是“教育”，education“教育”符合语境。honesty“诚实”、Math“数学”、health“健康”均与“所有科目”的语境不匹配。 5. 句意：尽管如此，我意识到仅仅告诉她这些并不能改变她的想法。 change one’s mind为固定搭配，意为“改变某人的想法”，符合语境。open“打开”、lose“失去”、read“阅读”均不符合搭配及上下文逻辑。 6. 句意：也许我们学到的东西并非以后都有用，但是练习可以在很多方面帮助她。 前后句为转折关系：前句说“并非所学都对未来有用”，后句说“练习能在很多方面帮助她”，but表转折，符合逻辑。because表原因，though表让步，so表结果，均不符合语境逻辑。 7. 句意：我微笑着问她是否想尝试一种新的学习方式。 结合上下文，此处指学习数学的新方式，learning“学习”符合语境。playing“玩耍”、reading“阅读”、cooking“烹饪”均与“数学课本”的语境无关。 8. 句意：她点了点头。我拿出一些面粉和其他材料。 took out意为 “拿出、取出”，符合“准备做饼干的材料”的语境。found out“查明”、carried out“执行”、put out“扑灭”均不符合语境。 9. 句意：Riley看起来很不确定。“呃……四分之三是多少？” 结合她的问题“how much is three-fourths?”可知，她对分数的概念不理解，表现出不确定的状态，uncertain“不确定的”符合语境。hopeful“有希望的”、joyful“高兴的”、unsatisfied“不满意的”均不符合她困惑的状态。 10. 句意：我拿了一个杯子，把它装满面粉。 fill...with...为固定搭配，意为“用……装满……”，符合语境。cleaned“打扫”、provided“提供”、decorated“装饰”均不符合搭配及上下文逻辑。 11. 句意：现在，它是四分之三——就像把一个披萨切成四个相等的部分，然后拿走三个。 分数的概念中，需将整体分成相等的部分，equal“相等的”符合分数的定义。similar“相似的”、small“小的”、different“不同的”均不符合分数的基本逻辑。 12. 句意：她开始耐心地一步一步地工作，并培养了更多的信心。 Riley理解了分数的概念，不再抵触数学，因此逐渐建立了自信，confidence“自信”符合语境。habits“习惯”、skills“技能”、trust“信任”均不符合她从抗拒到接受的心理变化。 13. 句意：我发现她开始接受这种学习方式，而不是逃避它。 “instead of avoiding it”表明她的态度发生了转变，开始接受这种学习方式，accept“接受”符合语境。regret“后悔”、consider“考虑”、doubt“怀疑”均与“不再逃避”的逻辑不符。 14. 句意：看着他们进步给了我深深的成就感。 帮助他人取得进步会带来成就感，achievement“成就”符合语境。surprise“惊讶”、safety“安全”、direction“方向”均不符合“看着他人进步”带来的感受。 15. 句意：一开始一个简单的教学任务变成了一堂意义深远的、远超课本的课程，教会了我耐心、创造力和学习的真正价值。 此处指这次教学经历给“我”带来的感悟与成长，lesson“课；教训”符合语境，指一次有意义的经历带来的启发。example“例子”、story“故事”、rule“规则”均不符合语境。 四、短文填空（首字母）： 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示，写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整、通顺，每空一词。 Passage 21 When most cities shine brightly at night, Shenzhen has chosen to turn off its lights for migratory birds (候鸟). This decision is widely p 1 . Recently, some visitors noticed that Shenzhen Bay Park was dark at night. Shenzhen Bay lies on an important bird migration route (路线). Every winter, thousands of migratory birds s 2 here during their long journeys. Too much light can disrupt (扰乱) their natural habits or even scare them away. To care for these lovely “g 3 ” from the north, the park turns off lights. This does not mean the park is c 4 dark. To keep people safe, basic lighting remains in key areas such as main entrances, crossroads, and important walkways. This balanced action shows a wise and thoughtful way to run a city. As early as 2023, Shenzhen introduced rules to c 5 light pollution. For example, in the area around the mangroves (红树林), cold blue-white lights have been replaced (替换) with w 6 yellow ones that disturb birds less. Thanks to these efforts, the number of bird species in Shenzhen’s mangrove parks has r 7 from 83 to 220 over the past few years. What makes this story special is the voice of the public. Many people agree that making space for nature is the right c 8 . This shows a growing awareness (意识) that a truly livable city is not just bright and busy, but also peaceful and balanced. Shenzhen is not a 9 . Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also taken steps to cut down light pollution during migration seasons. In the end, turning off lights for birds is not just about protecting animals—it proves that a city can be modern and eco-friendly a 10 the same time. 【答案】 1. praised/raised 2. stay/stop/tay/top 3. guests/uests 4. completely/ompletely 5. control/ontrol 6. warm/arm 7. risen/isen 8. choice/hoice 9. alone/lone 10. at/t 【导语】本文介绍了深圳为保护候鸟而关闭部分灯光的举措，讲述了这一做法的背景、具体措施、成效以及其他城市的类似行动，体现了城市发展与生态保护的平衡理念。 【详解】1. 句意：这一决定受到了广泛的赞扬。结合语境，深圳为候鸟关灯的做法是积极的，会受到大众的认可，结合首字母“p”，应填praised，意为“被赞扬”，是动词praise的过去分词，构成被动语态。 2. 句意：每年冬天，成千上万的候鸟在它们漫长的迁徙途中会在这里停留。结合语境，候鸟在迁徙途中会在深圳湾停留，结合首字母“s”，应填stay/stop，意为“停留、逗留”，是动词原形，主语为复数，句子用一般现在时，所以谓语用动词原形。 3. 句意：为了照顾这些来自北方的可爱“客人”，公园关闭了灯光。结合语境，候鸟是来迁徙的，对深圳来说是外来的访客，结合首字母“g”，应填guests，意为“客人、访客”，是名词复数，指代这些候鸟。 4. 句意：这并不意味着公园完全黑暗。结合语境，公园只关闭部分灯光，不是全黑的，结合首字母“c”，应填completely，意为“完全地”，是副词，修饰形容词dark。 5. 句意：早在2023年，深圳就出台了控制光污染的规定。结合语境，出台规定的目的是管控光污染，结合首字母“c”，应填control，意为“控制、管控”，是动词，不定式符号to后接动词原形。 6. 句意：例如，在红树林周边地区，冷蓝白色的灯已被换成了温暖的黄灯，这种灯光对鸟类的干扰更小。结合语境，前文提到冷蓝白色灯光，此处对应温暖的黄色灯光，结合首字母“w”，应填warm，意为“温暖的”，是形容词，修饰yellow ones。 7. 句意：多亏了这些努力，深圳红树林公园的鸟类物种数量在过去几年里从83种增加到了220种。结合语境，鸟类物种数量有所增长，结合首字母“r”，应填risen，意为“上升、增长”，是动词rise的过去分词，与has构成现在完成时。 8. 句意：许多人认为，为大自然留出空间是正确的选择。结合语境，为自然留出空间是一种明智的选择，结合首字母“c”，应填choice，意为“选择”，是名词，the后接单数名词。 9. 句意：深圳并非个例。结合语境，后文提到其他城市也采取了类似措施，说明深圳不是唯一这样做的城市，结合首字母“a”，应填alone，意为“独自的、单独的”，是形容词，作表语。 10. 句意：最终，为鸟类关灯不仅仅是保护动物——它证明了一座城市可以同时既现代化又环保。结合语境，此处表达“同时”的含义，结合首字母“a”，应填at，构成固定搭配at the same time，表示“同时”。 Passage 22 Have you ever heard of the Silk Road? It was a network of trade routes that connected China with Europe and Asia. The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk was one of the most important p 1 traded along the route. The Silk Road was not just a trade route. It was also a bridge for cultural exchange. People from different countries and regions traveled along the Silk Road, b 2 their own cultures with them. They exchanged ideas, religions, technologies and languages. This cultural exchange helped to d 3 the civilizations of both East and West. One of the most famous travelers on the Silk Road was Marco Polo. He was an Italian merchant who traveled to China in the 13th century. He spent 17 years in China and worked for Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He wrote a book about his j 4 called The Travels of Marco Polo, which introduced China to Europe. The Silk Road played an important r 5 in world history. It helped to connect different parts of the world and promote trade and cultural exchange. Today, the Silk Road is still important. China has l 6 the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to revive the ancient Silk Road and promote cooperation between countries. The Belt and Road Initiative has already brought many b 7 to countries along the route. It has helped to build infrastructure such as roads, railways and ports.

It seems very n 1 to you that if you have two dollars and you add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But did you know that it may have taken human beings millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the concept (概念) of numbers. In very ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system of numbers to use. I 2 , he put a stone or a pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals he had, the more s 3 he had. Later on, man used tally marks to count. He would just scratch (划出) a line for each o 4 he wanted to count, but he had no word to tell the number. The next step in the d 5 of the number system was probably the use of fingers. The word ‘digit’ comes from the Latin word digitus, which means ‘finger’. And since we have t 6 fingers, this led to the general use of ‘10’ in systems of numbers. But in ancient times, there was no s 7 number system used all over the world. Some systems were based on 12, others were based on 60, others on 20 and still others on 2, 5 and 8. The system invented by the Romans about 2000 years ago was widely used by the people of Europe u 8 the 16th century. In fact, we still use the Roman numeral system on clocks and sometimes to show p 9 or chapters in books. But it was a very complicated (复杂的) system. The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe around the year 900 by Arabic traders. In this system, all numbers are w 10 with the nine digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 to show how many, and the zero. It is a decimal (十进制的) system, that is, it is built on the base of 10. 【答案】 1. natural/atural 2. Instead/nstead 3. stones/tones 4. object/bject 5. development/evelopment 6. ten/en 7. single/ingle 8. until/ntil 9. pages/ages 10. written/ritten 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了数字系统的起源和发展历史。 【详解】1. 句意：对你来说，如果你有两美元，再加上两美元，你就有四美元，这似乎很自然。结合前后文“It seems very…to you that if you have two dollars and you add two dollars to them, you have four dollars.”，只有natural（自然的）符合“数字起源看似简单实则复杂”的对比逻辑。 2. 句意：相反，他为每只动物在袋子里放一块石头或鹅卵石。前文说“古人没有数字系统”，后文说“用石头计数”，是转折替代关系，只有Instead能衔接这个逻辑。 3. 句意：他拥有的动物越多，他拥有的石头就越多。前文明确提到“put a stone or a pebble into a bag for each animal”，动物越多，对应的石头就越多，只能填stones。 4. 句意：他只会为他想计算的每个物体划一条线，但他没有词语来表达这个数字。each后接单数名词，表示“每一个要计数的物品”，object是最贴合的词。 5. 句意：数字系统发展的下一步可能是使用手指。the development of the number system表示“数字系统的发展”。 6. 句意：因为我们有十根手指，这导致了数字系统中普遍使用“10”。人有10根手指，这是十进制起源的常识，只能填ten。 7. 句意：但在古代，世界上并没有使用单一的数字系统。no single number system表示“没有单一的数字系统在全球通用”，符合“各地进制不同”的上下文。 8. 句意：大约2000年前罗马人发明的系统被欧洲人广泛使用，直到16世纪。表示“罗马数字在欧洲被广泛使用直到16世纪”，只有until能表达这个时间截止的逻辑。 9. 句意：事实上，我们仍然在钟表上使用罗马数字系统，有时也用来表示书中的页码或章节。罗马数字用于书籍标页码是常识“pages”（页码）是常见用法。 10. 句意：在这个系统中，所有的数字都是用九个数字1到9以及零来书写的。主语all numbers与动词write之间是被动关系，此处与are构成一般现在时的被动语态，需用过去分词written。 Passage 24 All living things need water to survive. But in some parts of the world, clean water is hard to find. People have to walk for hours to get e 1 water for drinking and cooking. Scientists are trying to help. They have created a special material that can take salt out of seawater. This is called desalination. It turns salty water into f 2 water. However, this process costs a lot of e 3 . It is not cheap for poor countries. So researchers are looking for new w 4 to make it more affordable. Another idea is to collect rainwater. In some dry a 5 like deserts, people build special tanks to store rainwater for the dry season. Plants can also help. Trees and grass can p 6 the soil from drying out too quickly. When we p 7 more trees, we keep more water in the ground. Every small action matters. Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can s 8 litres of water every day. Fixing a dripping pipe also helps. If we all work together, we can make sure that no one has to live w 9 clean water. Remember, water is life, and we should never w 10 it. 【答案】 1. enough/nough 2. fresh/resh 3. energy/nergy 4. ways/ays 5. areas/reas 6. protect/rotect 7. plant/lant 8. save/ave 9. without/ithout 10. waste/aste 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了当前全球清洁水资源短缺的现状，介绍了海水淡化、收集雨水、植物储水等获取清洁水资源的方法，最后呼吁每个人从小事做起节约用水，共同解决缺水问题。 【详解】1. 句意：人们不得不步行数小时来获取供饮用和做饭的足够的水。前文提到清洁水资源很难获得，结合首字母e可知此处表示“足够的”，enough修饰名词water。 2. 句意：它可以把咸水转化为淡水。前文提到这种特殊材料可以去除海水中的盐，结合首字母f可知，脱盐后得到的是可使用的淡水，fresh water意为“淡水”，符合语境。 3. 句意：但是，海水淡化这个过程会消耗大量能源。后文提到对于贫穷国家来说这个方法并不便宜，结合首字母e可知，海水淡化需要消耗大量能源，energy表示“能源”，是不可数名词，可被a lot of修饰，符合语法和语境。 4. 句意：因此研究人员正在寻找新方法让海水淡化更能被负担得起。前文提到传统海水淡化成本高，结合首字母w可知，研究者要寻找新的解决方法，new后接可数名词复数，因此用ways，表示“方法”。 5. 句意：在一些像沙漠这样的干旱地区，人们建造特殊的储水罐来储存供旱季使用的雨水。空后举例沙漠这类区域，结合首字母a可知此处指干旱地区，some后接可数名词复数，因此用areas，表示“地区”。 6. 句意：树木和草能够保护土壤，防止它过快变干。此处是固定搭配protect...from doing sth.，意为“保护……免受……”，结合首字母p和语境，树木和草可以保护土壤免于“过快变干”，情态动词can后接动词原形。 7. 句意：当我们种植更多树，我们就能让地下保留更多水。结合前文提到树木保护土壤的作用，结合首字母p可知此处指种树，主句为一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时，主语是we，动词用原形plant，表示“种植”。 8. 句意：刷牙的时候关掉水龙头，每天可以节约很多升水。本段介绍节约用水的小事，结合首字母s可知，关水龙头是节约水资源，情态动词can后接动词原形save，表示“节约”。 9. 句意：如果我们共同努力，就能确保没有人不得不过没有清洁水的生活。结合全文解决缺水问题的主旨，结合首字母w可知此处表示“没有”，介词without修饰名词clean water，符合语境。 10. 句意：记住，水就是生命，我们永远不应该浪费水。结合前文呼吁节约用水的内容，结合首字母w可知此处表示“浪费”，情态动词should后接动词原形waste，符合语境。 Passage 25 Have you ever heard of the word “grit” (毅力)? It means passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Psychologist Angela Duckworth studied many successful people and found that grit was a better predictor of success than IQ or talent. In one study, she followed cadets (军校学员) at West Point. The training there is extremely hard, and many drop out. She asked cadets to take a grit test before training began. The results showed that those with higher grit scores were more l 1 to complete the training than those with higher IQ scores. Duckworth also studied students in the National Spelling Bee. She found that the winners were not necessarily the smartest, but they practiced more hours and n 2 gave up easily. They showed what she calls “effort counts twice”. So can we develop grit? Yes. Duckworth believes that we can grow our grit by developing a “growth mindset” — the b 3 that our abilities can improve with effort. When you fail, don’t say “I’m not good at this.” Instead, say “I’m not good at this y 4 .” Another way to build grit is to find a deep interest and practice it d 5 . It’s not about doing many things, but about sticking to one thing for a long time. Parents and teachers can help children build grit by p 6 challenges that are neither too easy nor too hard. They should also praise effort, not just results. For example, say “You worked really hard on this” i 7 of “You are so smart”. Grit is especially important for teenagers because they face many difficulties, f 8 exams to friendships. Those who are gritty are more likely to get back up after a fall. In short, talent is good, but grit is better. If you want to a 9 your long-term dreams, don’t just rely on your natural a 10 . Keep going, especially when things get hard. 【答案】 1. likely/ikely 2. never/ever 3. belief/elief 4. yet/et 5. daily/aily 6. providing/roviding/presenting/resenting 7. instead/nstead 8. from/rom 9. achieve/chieve 10. ability/bility/abilities/bilities 【导语】本文是一篇科普说理类短文，围绕毅力展开，介绍研究者的相关发现，阐明毅力的重要意义，并列举培养毅力的实用方法。 【详解】1. 句意：结果显示，毅力得分更高的人比智商得分更高的人更有可能完成训练。固定搭配be likely to do表示有可能做某事，空前more提示用比较级，首字母l提示填likely。 2. 句意：她发现获胜者未必最聪明，但他们练习时长更长，从不轻易放弃。结合语境不轻易放弃，首字母n提示填never。 3. 句意：达克沃思认为我们可以通过培养成长型思维来锻炼毅力，也就是相信能力能靠努力提升。破折号后是对成长型思维的解释，the后接名词，首字母b提示填belief。 4. 句意：失败时不要说我不擅长这个，换成说我目前还不擅长。结合语境表示暂时、目前，首字母y提示填yet。 5. 句意：另一种锻炼毅力的方式是找到浓厚兴趣并日复一日坚持练习。结合后文长期坚持一件事，首字母d提示填daily。 6. 句意：父母和老师可以通过设置难度适中的挑战帮孩子培养毅力。介词by后接动名词，首字母p、搭配challenge提示填providing/presenting。 7. 句意：比如要说 “你为此付出很多努力” 而不是 “你真聪明”。固定搭配instead of表示代替、而不是，首字母i提示填instead。 8. 句意：毅力对青少年格外重要，因为他们面临从考试到交友的各类难题。固定搭配from...to...表示从······到······，首字母f提示填from。 9. 句意：简言之天赋固然好，但毅力更可贵，想要实现长远梦想，不能只靠天生禀赋。want to后接动词原形，搭配dream，首字母a提示填achieve。 10. 句意：想要实现长远梦想，不能只依靠天生的天赋。natural后接名词，首字母a、前文talent对应，填ability/abilities。 Passage 26 Adolescence is a time when many teenagers struggle with their identity. They are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world. This can be a very confusing and difficult p 1 , but it is also an important part of growing up. Many teenagers feel lost and uncertain about their f 2 , wondering what they will do after high school. One of the biggest challenges that teenagers face is the pressure to conform to social norms. They often feel like they have to look, act, and think a certain way in order to be accepted by their peers. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem, e 3 if they don’t fit in with the popular crowd. They may even change their hobbies or interests just to be liked, which can make them feel d 4 from their true selves. Another challenge is the changing relationship with parents. As teenagers become more independent, they often want more freedom and control over their lives. This can lead to conflicts with parents, who may still see them as children and want to protect them. It’s important for both teenagers and parents to communicate o 5 and respect each other’s opinions. Instead of shouting or shutting each other out, they should try to have calm and h 6 conversations. Mental health is also a major concern during adolescence. Many teenagers experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, and loneliness. These feelings are normal, but if they persist for a long time, they may be a sign of a more s 7 problem, such as depression. Unfortunately, many teenagers are a 8 to ask for help because they are afraid of being judged. Despite these challenges, adolescence is also a time of great opportunity. Teenagers have the chance to explore their interests, develop new skills, and make lifelong friends. They also have the ability to make a positive d 9 in the world around them.

Some students scream, some rush 2 (wild) toward the door, and others try to pick up their bags. In those 3 (one) minutes, the safest student doesn’t run fastest. He follows the plan, protects the head, stays away from windows, and 4 (lead) out in order by others when it is safe. A useful emergency skill is clear action. Before a disaster, students can learn three small things: the 5 (near) safe exit, the fixed family meeting place and one phone number they can remember. A whistle, a small flashlight and an emergency card can be powerful when our 6 (communicate) becomes difficult. Disaster reduction also means we must find risks early. A blocked stairway or a loose shelf may seem small. Yet many 7 (danger) moments grow from small warnings. A drill (应急演练) is not a show. Look at the playground now. The students 8 (run) towards the open space because the alarm is ringing. In fact our school 9 (organize) twice since last term. Because of this, everyone knows what to do. Real courage is not rushing into danger. It is staying calm enough for students to protect 10 (they), help others and follow the instructions. When every person knows one safe action, a school becomes stronger than it looks.

The series is famous for its detailed reconstruction of Tang Dynasty culture, including architecture, clothing, food and customs. Chang’an, now known as Xi’an, was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the world at that time. The city had a population of over one million people and was divided into 108 districts. It was a center of trade and culture, attracting people from all over the world. One of the most impressive things about the Tang Dynasty was its open and inclusive culture.

Passage 10 The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, stretching over 2,300 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. It is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including more than 1,500 species of fish, 600 species of coral, and countless other animals such as sea turtles, dolphins and whales. The reef is not only a natural wonder but also an important ecosystem. It provides food and shelter for millions of marine animals. It also protects the coastline from storms and erosion. In addition, the Great Barrier Reef is a major tourist attraction, bringing in billions of dollars to the Australian economy every year. However, the Great Barrier Reef is facing serious threats. Climate change is the biggest danger. Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, which kills the coral. Since 1995, more than half of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef has died. Pollution from agriculture and industry is also damaging the reef. Chemicals from farms run into the ocean, causing algae blooms that block sunlight and kill coral. The Australian government has taken many measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef. It has set up marine protected areas where fishing and other activities are restricted. It is also working to reduce pollution and combat climate change. However, more needs to be done to save this precious natural treasure. 1. How long is the Great Barrier Reef?

Hard metal fingers lack the sense of touch; they cannot tell if an object is easy to break or hard to catch. To solve this, scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of electronic skin that gives robots a near-human sense of touch. This electronic skin is not like the rigid circuit boards inside computers. Instead, it is a thin, flexible film (薄膜) made from a special polymer mixed with conductive materials. When pressed or stretched, the electrical signals inside the film change at once. These signals are sent to the robot’s brain, allowing it to adjust its grip (紧握) strength in real time, tightening its hold on a heavy bottle while gently lifting a piece of bread. Traditional robotic sensors are expensive, often costing thousands of dollars per finger. In contrast, this new e-skin is cheap to produce. Researchers use a 3D-printing-like process to spray the material onto any surface, whether it is flat, curved, or even wet. More importantly, unlike old sensors that break easily, this skin is self-healing. If it gets scratched, the polymer chains reconnect when heated slightly, restoring the sensor’s function automatically. The technology still faces challenges. The present version requires too much power and generates heat during continuous use. The team is now working on a wireless version that does not require constant physical connection to the robot’s main processor. They are also trying to make the skin thinner, almost like a real human callus, so it does not affect the robot’s movement speed. Beyond factories, this technology could revolutionize artificial limbs (假肢). Imagine a soldier who lost a hand in a war being able to feel the warmth of a cup of coffee or the texture of a pet’s fur through his artificial hand. Clinical trials for such applications are expected to begin next year. As one researcher put it, “We are not just building smarter machines; we are giving them the ability to feel the world.” 1. Why is picking up a strawberry mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To prove robots are better at farming than humans. B．To show the difficulty robots have without a sense of touch. C．To explain why strawberries are easily damaged. D．To compare the weight of fruits and cars. 2. According to Paragraph 2, what is the main use of the new electronic skin when it is pressed or stretched? A．To store electrical energy for later use by the robot. B．To change its physical shape to match the object’s surface. C．To change internal electrical signals, enabling real-time grip adjustment. D．To transport wireless data to the robot’s brain without physical connection. 3. The underlined word “self-healing” in Paragraph 3 most probably means . A．breaking into pieces B．repairing itself automatically C．sensing temperature changes D．connecting to the internet 4. Where would the sentence “Although the skin is promising, it is not ready for widespread use yet.” best fit? A．At the beginning of Paragraph 2. B．At the beginning of Paragraph 4. C．At the end of Paragraph 5. D．At the beginning of Paragraph 1. Passage 12 There is a special power in turning thoughts into words on paper. Writing, in its simplest form, is like a quiet conversation with yourself. It helps you understand your feelings, clear your worries, and give shape to your ideas. You don’t need perfect grammar or difficult words. What matters most is honesty and the courage to express what is truly on your mind. When you start writing, something interesting happens. As the pen moves or your fingers type, your thoughts begin to become clearer. Problems that once seemed too big may feel smaller and easier to deal with after you write them down. Writing gives you a chance to slow down and think carefully. It allows you to see your worries from a different point of view and find possible ways to solve them. Writing is also a good way to learn more about yourself. You can keep a daily journal to record your life, write a letter you never plan to send, or simply make a list of your thoughts at the end of the day. These simple habits can help you understand your feelings better and see things in a new way. Over time, you may notice that you become more patient and thoughtful. So, try to pick up a pen or open a notebook today. Give yourself some quiet time to write freely without fear of making mistakes.

One heated debate is whether robots will replace teachers in classrooms. Some think it’ll happen in the next ten years, while others believe a good teacher’s value, like building a child’s confidence and creativity, can’t be easily replaced. AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines. However, most importantly, I believe AI will not be able to copy the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence(情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction(互相作用), and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But robots may not do this well. I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decisions. These are skills that they can get as they get more life experience and are given the space to experiment. In short, AI in education has both advantage and disadvantage. It’s a useful tool. It helps students learn better and reduces teachers’ workload. But it can never replace teachers. Teachers understand students’ feelings, guide them, and help with their overall development. The future of education needs to combine the good points of AI with teachers’ special abilities. This way, we can create a nice and efficient learning environment. 1. How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories. B．By comparing views. C．By raising questions. D．By giving suggestions. 2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．AI is useless in education. B．AI will completely replace teachers. C．Teachers should only rely on AI in teaching. D．AI can be helpful but teachers’ role is still important. Passage 14 A Chinese motorcycle brand has made history. Last weekend, ZXMOTO secured two straight victories at the Superbike World Championship in Portugal. It was a monumental achievement for the brand in a sport long dominated (称霸) by European and Japanese giants. The story behind ZXMOTO is as inspiring as its victory. The brand was founded by Zhang Xue, a self-taught motorcycle enthusiast from a small village in Hunan Province. At 16, he started working in a repair shop. By 17, he had opened his own. At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain—just to appear on screen—a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team. After co-founding another motorcycle company in 2017, Zhang decided to venture out on his own in 2024. Less than two years later, his motorcycles stood on the world podium (领奖台). When the victory came, Zhang burst into tears thousands of miles away in Chongqing. “It is not about chasing a trophy,” he later posted online. “It is about loving the ride. And that, perhaps, changes everything.” Industry experts said the victory proves how far Chinese manufacturing (制造业) has advanced. “For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike—that’s a first,” said Zhang Duo, senior editor at Motorcycle magazine. The company invested nearly 70 million yuan in research and development in 2025, even though it reported a loss. But the gamble is beginning to yield results. After the championship win, orders for ZXMOTO motorcycles surged to over 5,500 units within days. The company is now valued at about 1.09 billion yuan. For Zhang Xue, the victory is merely the starting point. His ambition for the next five years is to capture more than half of the large-displacement motorcycle market currently held by international brands. “Instead of competing on price, we are moving into the premium segment with superior performance and cutting-edge technology,” he said. 1. What first helped Zhang Xue enter the world of racing? A．Opening his own repair shop at 17. B．Pursuing a TV crew in the rain as a teenager. C．Co-founding a motorcycle company in 2017. D．Winning a championship in Portugal last weekend. 2. Why did Zhang Xue start his own company in 2024 after co-founding another in 2017? A．Because his first company went bankrupt. B．Because he wanted to venture out on his own. C．Because he was fired from his job. D．Because he moved to another country. 3. What does Zhang Duo mean in Paragraph 4? A．Chinese motorcycles are still behind global brands. B．Winning with a Chinese-made bike is a historic moment. C．Foreign brands no longer dominate the motorcycle market. D．The victory was mainly due to the rider’s excellent skills. 4. Which of the following best reflects the message of the story? A．Victory belongs to those who compete on price. B．Passion alone can guarantee success in business. C．A clear goal and strong will are key to achievement. D．Success requires both love for what you do and wise investment. 三、完形填空： 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 Passage 15 Sometimes, just a few words said at the right moment can change our life. For me, that moment came in high school. When I was in my second year, I 1 a singing class. Our first concert was a series of songs from Oliver! And I got a solo (独唱). I wasn’t nervous at all—until the week before the show, when I 2 learned that the whole school would come to watch. On the concert day, I stood backstage and looked 3 the curtain. The hall was filled up with students, teachers, and even parents. Then the curtain rose, and the students began to sing. As I looked at the crowd, I saw some bored 4 here and there. Then my eyes fell on the lonely microphone at the front of the stage, lit by a bright light. A sudden fear hit me: My teacher had 5 taught me how to sing into a microphone. When my turn came, I stepped up to the microphone, my heart 6 fast. The first part of my solo went well. I even felt excited until I reached the final high note. My lips were too close to the microphone, 7 the voice came out very loud from the speakers. It was terrible. I looked out and saw the whole audience jump back in their seats, some with mouths open. I felt so 8 that I wished the stage would open up and swallow (吞噬) me. The school day was only half over, so I had to go back to class. I 9 the floor as I walked slowly down the hallway—until a pair of sports shoes stopped me. I looked up and saw a senior student I had never met. I 10 myself for some bad words. Instead, he smiled and said, “You have a very powerful 11 .” I decided never to sing in public again, but his 12 words made me think again: Maybe I could sing. Encouraged by his unexpected 13 , I went on to study music at a university. Today, I am a singer and songwriter, 14 every weekend with three bands. Have you ever been changed by a few 15 words? I hope you will remember that one kind sentence can make a big difference. 1. A．joined B．found C．taught D．missed 2. A．quickly B．suddenly C．quietly D．recently 3. A．at B．through C．over D．past 4.

The story of a 15-year-old boy from Ghana may give us a surprising 1 . At 4:30 a.m., while most teenagers are still 2 , Kofi has already started his daily work — collecting recyclable waste on the streets. Many people feel 3 for him, but Kofi doesn’t see himself as a victim. 4 using the money he earns, he buys books and attends night school. “Cleaning the city and learning in class — 5 make me happy,” he says with shining eyes. Separated trash (垃圾) costs more, so Kofi 6 designed a simple hand-pushed cart (推车) that can separate plastic, glass and paper while he walks. His idea not only saves time but also increases the 7 of recycled materials. A local company noticed his invention and offered him a small scholarship. “My hands are rough (粗糙的), 8 my mind is busy. Work is not just about surviving — it’s about 9 ,” Kofi smiles. However, Kofi’s neighbor Mensah, a high school graduate (毕业生) who 10 to take any “dirty job” sits at home complaining about life. “No good work, no 11 ,” Mensah often says. Kofi disagrees. “Happiness doesn’t fall from a good job title. It grows from the soil of honest work, watered by 12 .” Kofi’s story 13 us that true love for labor doesn’t mean you have to do heavy work. 14 , it means you pour your creativity and responsibility into whatever you do. Even a waste collector can turn trash into 15 , and hard work into happiness. After all, a meaningful life is not about the job you have, but how well you do it. 1.

Soft rain was falling when I followed a path into the woods. In front of me was the Maverick Concert Hall— 1 the “concert hall” didn’t feel like the right word for it. It looked more like a wooden barn (谷仓) than a 2 concert hall. When I sat down, the bench creaked under my weight. I looked at the stage, and a title jumped out at me: 4'33" by John Cage. I thought 3 myself: “Four minutes and thirty-three seconds... of what?” The title sounded special, and it made me 4 even more. Then the pianist stepped onto the stage and sat at the piano. He 5 the piano cover, placed the sheet music on the stand, and set a watch. We all waited, but he just looked at the watch and did 6 . At first, everyone waited in 7 , but it soon became awkward(尴尬的). What’s going on? Did I come to the wrong concert? I felt so 8 and didn’t understand the situation. All of a sudden, a loud cough broke the silence. People started 9 to each other. Outside, wind brushed the leaves, making a soft shhh sound. Somewhere in the woods, a bird called out once. And then, I 10 the smallest sounds that I almost never paid attention to: my own breathing and heartbeat. Suddenly, I understood 11 the pianist didn’t play anything. Every sound around us was part of the 12 . There was no such thing as perfect silence—only sounds we don’t notice until we 13 and pay attention. On my way out, I found myself listening more 14 to the sounds around me. The night felt 15 than before, but in a wonderful way. Every footstep, the sound of wind brushing trees, and even faraway voices...they all mixed into beautiful music. 1. A．unless B．though C．since D．if 2. A．bright B．common C．large D．general 3.

The craftsman 1 turned hot liquid sugar into vivid shapes. From that moment, he made up his mind to 2 the skill. Two years later, he became the student of a master named Old Chen. At first, Li Wei’s hands 3 a lot, and he often failed to control the sugar. He felt 4 . But Old Chen encouraged him, “Practice makes perfect. You need to be 5 .” Li Wei practised 6 simple designs like flowers and birds every day after school. Gradually, he could create more 7 shapes, such as dragons and phoenixes. Last month, a cultural festival was 8 at his school. Li Wei showed his sugar paintings there. Many students 9 around his stand, amazed by his skills. Some even 10 their own sugar paintings. A girl said, “Your sugar paintings are not just food, but 11 of art.” Li Wei felt proud and decided to 12 this traditional art. He plans to make videos to share online. “I hope more people can enjoy sugar painting 13 understand Chinese culture,” he said. The old craft is 14 kept alive by young hands like his. Li Wei believes that as long as someone 15 it on, the sweet art will never disappear. 1. A．quickly B．slowly C．badly D．kindly 2. A．teach B．learn C．sell D．collect 3.

One day a good friend, Reldresal, told me about a terrible 2 between Lilliput and a country nearby. “My dear Gulliver,” he said, “please do not think that everything is 3 here in Lilliput. The truth is very different. We are now fighting against a country called Blefuscu. More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died.” “How terrible,” I said. “But 4 are you fighting?” “We are fighting because of eggs,” he answered. “Eggs!” I cried, with great 5 . I could not believe my ears but Reldresal continued to 6 . “It is not a small matter, Gulliver. On Lilliput we have always opened our boiled eggs from the big end but one day the emperor’s grandfather 7 his finger doing this. As a result, the emperor introduced a new rule: everyone must break open their eggs at the 8 end.” “But why start a war because of this?” I asked. “Small end, big end. Is it 9 ?” “It is very important for some Lilliputians,” Reldresal continued. “Some have even run away to the island of Blefuscu because they do not want to 10 their egg-breaking habit.” “Why have they moved to Blefuscu?” I asked. “On the island of Blefuscu,” my friend continued, “they have not 11 this new rule. They continue to break their eggs at the big end. The people there do not want to go 12 their old rules and traditions. For this reason the emperor of Blefuscu had war against Lilliput.” I should say that this story seemed 13 to me. Can you 14 two countries fighting because of boiled eggs? But I didn’t want to make my friend Reldresal angry and I have heard of many wars which have started for the 15 reasons. So I continue to listen with interest. 1. A．wrong B．right C．true D．unusual 2.

At first, I wondered whether I could really be 1 , but my mother believed the experience would teach me something important as well. The first time I visited her flat, Riley sat at the kitchen table with her arms crossed, silently looking at her 2 math textbook instead of me. I opened the textbook and said, “Alright, Riley. Let’s try some problems together.” Riley raised her eyes and said 3 , “Why should I learn this? I’ll probably just work at my uncle’s restaurant someday!” Her words surprised me. In my family, 4 had always been thought important, so I always tried my best to study all the subjects. Still, I realized that simply telling her this would not 5 her mind. Maybe Riley needed something different from the textbook. That evening, I thought about Riley’s words. Maybe not everything we learn is useful later, 6 practicing could help her in many ways. The next morning, I returned to her home. Riley was sitting quietly, holding her math textbook. I smiled and asked her if she wanted to try a new way of 7 . She nodded. I 8 some flour (面粉) and other materials. “Today we’ll make cookies,” I told her.  “We need one and three-fourths cups of flour,” I explained. Riley looked 9 . “Er... how much is three-fourths?” I got a cup and 10 it with flour. “See? This is one cup.” Then I poured out some flour until the cup was three-fourths full. “Now, it’s three-fourths—like cutting a pizza into four 11 parts and taking three.” Riley laughed. “Oh, got it!” She started working patiently, step by step, and developed more 12 . As the lessons continued, Riley started asking questions more often. I found she was beginning to 13 the learning way instead of avoiding it. Little by little, math no longer seemed impossible to her. Encouraged by Riley’s progress, I devoted more time to other younger students in my neighborhood. Watching them improve gave me a deep sense of 14 . A simple teaching task in the beginning grew into a meaningful 15 far beyond the textbook, teaching me patience, creativity, and the true value of learning. 1.

This decision is widely p 1 . Recently, some visitors noticed that Shenzhen Bay Park was dark at night. Shenzhen Bay lies on an important bird migration route (路线). Every winter, thousands of migratory birds s 2 here during their long journeys. Too much light can disrupt (扰乱) their natural habits or even scare them away. To care for these lovely “g 3 ” from the north, the park turns off lights. This does not mean the park is c 4 dark. To keep people safe, basic lighting remains in key areas such as main entrances, crossroads, and important walkways. This balanced action shows a wise and thoughtful way to run a city. As early as 2023, Shenzhen introduced rules to c 5 light pollution. For example, in the area around the mangroves (红树林), cold blue-white lights have been replaced (替换) with w 6 yellow ones that disturb birds less. Thanks to these efforts, the number of bird species in Shenzhen’s mangrove parks has r 7 from 83 to 220 over the past few years. What makes this story special is the voice of the public. Many people agree that making space for nature is the right c 8 . This shows a growing awareness (意识) that a truly livable city is not just bright and busy, but also peaceful and balanced. Shenzhen is not a 9 . Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also taken steps to cut down light pollution during migration seasons. In the end, turning off lights for birds is not just about protecting animals—it proves that a city can be modern and eco-friendly a 10 the same time. Passage 22 Have you ever heard of the Silk Road? It was a network of trade routes that connected China with Europe and Asia. The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk was one of the most important p 1 traded along the route. The Silk Road was not just a trade route. It was also a bridge for cultural exchange. People from different countries and regions traveled along the Silk Road, b 2 their own cultures with them. They exchanged ideas, religions, technologies and languages. This cultural exchange helped to d 3 the civilizations of both East and West. One of the most famous travelers on the Silk Road was Marco Polo. He was an Italian merchant who traveled to China in the 13th century. He spent 17 years in China and worked for Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He wrote a book about his j 4 called The Travels of Marco Polo, which introduced China to Europe. The Silk Road played an important r 5 in world history. It helped to connect different parts of the world and promote trade and cultural exchange. Today, the Silk Road is still important. China has l 6 the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to revive the ancient Silk Road and promote cooperation between countries. The Belt and Road Initiative has already brought many b 7 to countries along the route. It has helped to build infrastructure such as roads, railways and ports. It has also increased trade and investment, creating jobs and improving people's lives. The Silk Road is not just a part of history. It is a l 8 legacy that continues to influence the world today. By working together, countries along the Silk Road can build a better future for e 9 . We should learn from the spirit of the Silk Road and promote peace, friendship and cooperation a 10 the world. Passage 23 Have you ever wondered how numbers were born? It seems very n 1 to you that if you have two dollars and you add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But did you know that it may have taken human beings millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the concept (概念) of numbers. In very ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system of numbers to use. I 2 , he put a stone or a pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals he had, the more s 3 he had. Later on, man used tally marks to count. He would just scratch (划出) a line for each o 4 he wanted to count, but he had no word to tell the number. The next step in the d 5 of the number system was probably the use of fingers. The word ‘digit’ comes from the Latin word digitus, which means ‘finger’. And since we have t 6 fingers, this led to the general use of ‘10’ in systems of numbers. But in ancient times, there was no s 7 number system used all over the world. Some systems were based on 12, others were based on 60, others on 20 and still others on 2, 5 and 8. The system invented by the Romans about 2000 years ago was widely used by the people of Europe u 8 the 16th century. In fact, we still use the Roman numeral system on clocks and sometimes to show p 9 or chapters in books. But it was a very complicated (复杂的) system. The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe around the year 900 by Arabic traders. In this system, all numbers are w 10 with the nine digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 to show how many, and the zero. It is a decimal (十进制的) system, that is, it is built on the base of 10. Passage 24 All living things need water to survive. But in some parts of the world, clean water is hard to find. People have to walk for hours to get e 1 water for drinking and cooking. Scientists are trying to help. They have created a special material that can take salt out of seawater. This is called desalination. It turns salty water into f 2 water. However, this process costs a lot of e 3 . It is not cheap for poor countries. So researchers are looking for new w 4 to make it more affordable. Another idea is to collect rainwater. In some dry a 5 like deserts, people build special tanks to store rainwater for the dry season. Plants can also help. Trees and grass can p 6 the soil from drying out too quickly. When we p 7 more trees, we keep more water in the ground. Every small action matters. Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can s 8 litres of water every day. Fixing a dripping pipe also helps. If we all work together, we can make sure that no one has to live w 9 clean water. Remember, water is life, and we should never w 10 it. Passage 25 Have you ever heard of the word “grit” (毅力)? It means passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Psychologist Angela Duckworth studied many successful people and found that grit was a better predictor of success than IQ or talent. In one study, she followed cadets (军校学员) at West Point. The training there is extremely hard, and many drop out. She asked cadets to take a grit test before training began. The results showed that those with higher grit scores were more l 1 to complete the training than those with higher IQ scores. Duckworth also studied students in the National Spelling Bee. She found that the winners were not necessarily the smartest, but they practiced more hours and n 2 gave up easily. They showed what she calls “effort counts twice”. So can we develop grit? Yes. Duckworth believes that we can grow our grit by developing a “growth mindset” — the b 3 that our abilities can improve with effort. When you fail, don’t say “I’m not good at this.” Instead, say “I’m not good at this y 4 .” Another way to build grit is to find a deep interest and practice it d 5 . It’s not about doing many things, but about sticking to one thing for a long time. Parents and teachers can help children build grit by p 6 challenges that are neither too easy nor too hard. They should also praise effort, not just results. For example, say “You worked really hard on this” i 7 of “You are so smart”. Grit is especially important for teenagers because they face many difficulties, f 8 exams to friendships. Those who are gritty are more likely to get back up after a fall. In short, talent is good, but grit is better. If you want to a 9 your long-term dreams, don’t just rely on your natural a 10 . Keep going, especially when things get hard. Passage 26 Adolescence is a time when many teenagers struggle with their identity. They are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world. This can be a very confusing and difficult p 1 , but it is also an important part of growing up. Many teenagers feel lost and uncertain about their f 2 , wondering what they will do after high school. One of the biggest challenges that teenagers face is the pressure to conform to social norms. They often feel like they have to look, act, and think a certain way in order to be accepted by their peers. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem, e 3 if they don’t fit in with the popular crowd. They may even change their hobbies or interests just to be liked, which can make them feel d 4 from their true selves. Another challenge is the changing relationship with parents. As teenagers become more independent, they often want more freedom and control over their lives. This can lead to conflicts with parents, who may still see them as children and want to protect them. It’s important for both teenagers and parents to communicate o 5 and respect each other’s opinions. Instead of shouting or shutting each other out, they should try to have calm and h 6 conversations. Mental health is also a major concern during adolescence. Many teenagers experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, and loneliness.
