一、语法填空
The crime drama, The Knockout(《狂飙》)was the biggest hit this year in China. Apart from the story itself, many people have praised the excellent acting of Zhang Songwen, an actor 1 was unknown to us before. He played a gang leader who used to be a fishmonger (鱼贩子). His amazing ability made viewers believe that he was not just playing a fictional bad guy.
His early years, in fact, were full of struggles. After entering the Beijing film academy, he was the hardest-working student in his class. But Zhang’s physical 2 (appear) was not so outstanding in show business. In the first 3 years after his graduation, he went over 800 different auditions (试镜) and failed 3 (get) the part in all of them.
But 4 (he) love for acting never died. In order 5 make a living, he accepted whatever acting roles that came his way. Although his pay was often quite low, the actor took every opportunity seriously. He studied each script carefully and 6 (think) hard about how he could perfectly bring the character to life on the screen. Slowly, he gained the favor of directors and 7 (invite) by them to play bigger roles. His successful performances in The Bad Kids and The Knockout show that all of his hard work had finally paid off.
We all want to be successful, 8 , we can’t realize our dream as 9 (quick) as we expect. All we can and should do is keep 10 (try).
二、阅读理解
From where I live on the coast of California’s Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to go anywhere. We have roads with views that will take your breath away, but few fast lanes. To go north to San Francisco, you take the Old Coast Highway, and then go ahead to 101, a multilane freeway, which, depending on weather and traffic, will finally get you where you’re going or drive you crazy. But the part I feared most was a narrow two-lane stretch of a road that connected the two in the south, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails.
Roads are like people; they have personalities — colored by how we see and feel about them at particular times. My husband taught me this about roads. Randy was an athlete, body and soul. A high school basketball coach, he loved and worked out with his teams. He was a marathoner who could run miles and not be tired. In 25 years of teaching he rarely had a sick day. And then he had cancer.
So we began another race down another road: a four-year-long marathon to Stanford University Medical Center for surgeries (手术), radiation, chemo and more than a few emergencies. And to get to the hospital we had to travel those impossible roads — 91 miles, two hours. I hated every minute and inch. I especially hated that traffic-crowded two-lane bottleneck. Then they started construction. Randy never complained. But as he grew weaker, I tried to avoid that cow trail to shorten our drive. I spent hours with maps but found that there was no getting around it. I had no choice but to drive it. Once, when we were running late for an appointment, I muttered, “I hate this stupid road.”
“Four miles,” he said.
I looked over. His eyes were closed.
“What did you say?” I asked.
“This part of the road,” he said in his calm voice. “It’s only four miles long. That’s easy. You can do anything for four miles.”
I checked the odometer (里程表). He was right. Four miles exactly. I could have sworn it was 20. Suddenly the drive got easier. Four miles was doable and understandable. It was the distance we walked in the evening from our house to the beach and back. It was half the length of a mountain trail he loved to hike in Yosemite, with a baby on his back. Four short trips to our local park to play catch with our kids. A part of the 26 miles he once ran in the Big Sur International Marathon. Four miles was nothing — certainly not a space or time worth wasting in anger when he had only months to live. So I stopped complaining. I started really looking. And there appeared green acres of fields that shined in the sun. Strawberries and roses stand at the roadside. And there was an old white horse watching cars running down the open road.
Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches. You can endure anything for four miles — even find beauty and acceptance along the way.
1.What can be learnt from paragraph 1?
A.You can drive crazily on 101 on a fine day.
B.The roads are very dangerous and breathtaking.
C.The cow trail joined the Old Coast Highway and 101.
D.The roads to go north are narrow and rough.
2.What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph?
A.Four miles was nothing worth wasting in anger!
B.The author didn’t see the beautiful views on roads.
C.Anything is acceptable if you see it differently.
D.The author misread the odometer as 20 miles.
3.What is the message conveyed in the passage?
A.Complains makes no difference. B.Life is short and time is swift.
C.A merry heart makes a long life. D.Situations are affected by our attitude.
4.Which of the following would be, the best title for the passage?
A.Last four miles of roads B.A stretch of hard road
C.Personalities of roads D.Beauty along the way
三、七选五
Reading is much more than a way to get information. It enriches our inner life and sharpens our thinking skills. Yet, trapped in the fast-paced world, many people, carrying anxious minds, struggle to make reading a regular part of daily life. 1
One effective method is to start small and set clear daily goals. Instead of aiming for an hour a day, begin with just 15 minutes of reading before bed. 2 This makes daily reading feel manageable and builds the drive over time, turning a small win into a consistent (连续的) practice.
Another key strategy is to replace screen time with reading time. Many of us spend hours scrolling through social media or watching short videos without realizing it. 3 Replace one 20-minute screen period with a chapter of reading, and you will be surprised at how much we can read in a week.
To truly enjoy reading, we need to choose the right books. Some reading experts and professional websites suggest developing reading habits with classic works. 4 Don’t push yourself to read something too difficult or boring just because it is considered “classic”. Explore different genres (体裁) until you find what attracts you. When the topic interests you, reading will become a pleasure instead of a task.
5 It not only improves our schoolwork at present but also influences our growth in the long run. It shapes our personality and opens a better world for us. As time goes by, the good thing we get from reading will never end. So, make reading part of your life, and you will benefit from it forever.
A.Reading is a lifelong treasure.
B.Such moments deserve better use.
C.Good habits start with small plans.
D.Actually, they often discourage new readers.
E.Reading prepares the body and mind for rest.
F.Luckily, effective approaches are within reach.
G.Here are some practical ways to select a good read.

The crime drama, The Knockout(《狂飙》)was the biggest hit this year in China. Apart from the story itself, many people have praised the excellent acting of Zhang Songwen, an actor 1 was unknown to us before. He played a gang leader who used to be a fishmonger (鱼贩子).

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在犯罪剧《狂飙》中有出色表演的演员张颂文。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意:除了故事本身,很多人都称赞了张松文的出色表演,一个我们以前不知道的演员。此处是限定性定语从句,先行词是actor,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
2.考查名词。句意:但张的外表在演艺圈并不是那么突出。此处作主语,应用名词appearance“外表”,不可数名词。故填appearance。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:在他毕业后的前3年里,他经历了800多次不同的试镜,但都未能得到一个角色。固定搭配fail to do sth.“未能做某事”,不定式作宾语。故填to get。

二、阅读理解
From where I live on the coast of California’s Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to go anywhere. We have roads with views that will take your breath away, but few fast lanes. To go north to San Francisco, you take the Old Coast Highway, and then go ahead to 101, a multilane freeway, which, depending on weather and traffic, will finally get you where you’re going or drive you crazy. But the part I feared most was a narrow two-lane stretch of a road that connected the two in the south, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails.
Roads are like people; they have personalities — colored by how we see and feel about them at particular times. My husband taught me this about roads. Randy was an athlete, body and soul. A high school basketball coach, he loved and worked out with his teams. He was a marathoner who could run miles and not be tired. In 25 years of teaching he rarely had a sick day. And then he had cancer.
So we began another race down another road: a four-year-long marathon to Stanford University Medical Center for surgeries (手术), radiation, chemo and more than a few emergencies. And to get to the hospital we had to travel those impossible roads — 91 miles, two hours. I hated every minute and inch. I especially hated that traffic-crowded two-lane bottleneck. Then they started construction. Randy never complained. But as he grew weaker, I tried to avoid that cow trail to shorten our drive. I spent hours with maps but found that there was no getting around it. I had no choice but to drive it. Once, when we were running late for an appointment, I muttered, “I hate this stupid road.”
“Four miles,” he said.
I looked over. His eyes were closed.
“What did you say?” I asked.
“This part of the road,” he said in his calm voice. “It’s only four miles long. That’s easy. You can do anything for four miles.”
I checked the odometer (里程表). He was right. Four miles exactly. I could have sworn it was 20. Suddenly the drive got easier. Four miles was doable and understandable. It was the distance we walked in the evening from our house to the beach and back. It was half the length of a mountain trail he loved to hike in Yosemite, with a baby on his back. Four short trips to our local park to play catch with our kids. A part of the 26 miles he once ran in the Big Sur International Marathon. Four miles was nothing — certainly not a space or time worth wasting in anger when he had only months to live. So I stopped complaining. I started really looking. And there appeared green acres of fields that shined in the sun. Strawberries and roses stand at the roadside. And there was an old white horse watching cars running down the open road.
Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches. You can endure anything for four miles — even find beauty and acceptance along the way.
1.What can be learnt from paragraph 1?
A.You can drive crazily on 101 on a fine day.
B.The roads are very dangerous and breathtaking.
C.The cow trail joined the Old Coast Highway and 101.
D.The roads to go north are narrow and rough.
2.What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph?
A.Four miles was nothing worth wasting in anger!
B.The author didn’t see the beautiful views on roads.
C.Anything is acceptable if you see it differently.
D.The author misread the odometer as 20 miles.
3.What is the message conveyed in the passage?
A.Complains makes no difference. B.Life is short and time is swift.
C.A merry heart makes a long life. D.Situations are affected by our attitude.
4.Which of the following would be, the best title for the passage?
A.Last four miles of roads B.A stretch of hard road
C.Personalities of roads D.Beauty along the way
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者因丈夫患癌需频繁往返医院,厌恶途中一段狭窄难行的“牛道”,后在丈夫提醒 “这段路仅四英里”的启发下,改变对道路的态度、发现沿途美景,并领悟到“将艰难处境拆解、用积极态度面对”的人生道理。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We have roads with views that will take your breath away, but few fast lanes. To go north to San Francisco, you take the Old Coast Highway, and then go ahead to 101, a multilane freeway, which, depending on weather and traffic, will finally get you where you’ re going or drive you crazy. But the part I feared most was a narrow two-lane stretch of a road that connected the two in the south, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails. (我们有景色美得令人窒息的公路,但几乎没有快车道。要往北去旧金山,你得先走旧海岸公路,然后再上101号多车道高速公路,这条公路,视天气和交通状况而定,要么最终把你送到目的地,要么把你逼疯。但我最害怕的路段,是连接南部这两条公路的一段狭窄的双车道,在我长大的地方,这样的路被称为乡间小道。)”可知,原文“a narrow two-lane-stretch of a road that connected the two in the south (一条连接南部两地的狭窄双车道公路路段)”中的“the two”指代前文去旧金山路线中的“the Old Coast Highway”和“101”,这与C项(那条牛道与旧海岸公路和 101 号公路相连)相吻合。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Four miles was nothing — certainly not a space or time worth wasting in anger when he had only months to live. So I stopped complaining. I started really looking. And there appeared green acres of fields that shined in the sun. Strawberries and roses stand at the roadside. And there was an old white horse watching cars running down the open road. (四英里算不了什么 —— 尤其是在他只剩下几个月生命的时候,这根本不是值得浪费时间生气的一段空间或时间。于是,我不再抱怨。我开始认真观察周围。眼前出现了大片在阳光下闪耀的绿色田野。路边种着草莓和玫瑰。还有一匹老白马,看着车辆在开阔的马路上疾驰。)”可推断,作者原本讨厌那段路,但在丈夫提醒只有4英里后,她开始注意到沿途的风景,心态转变后,同样的路程变得可以忍受甚至美好。这暗示了换一种视角,任何事情都可以接受。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据末段“Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches. You can endure anything for four miles-even find beauty and acceptance along the way. (那些景象其实一直都在,只是我从前从未留意。是兰迪教会了我如何去发现它们。如今,每当前路漫长又艰难时,我都会在心里把它拆分成一段段路程 —— 具体来说,就是拆成一个个四英里的片段。原来,哪怕是再难的事,撑过四英里也绝非不可能;甚至在这短短四英里的路上,你还能意外发现沿途的美好,学会坦然接纳当下的处境。)”可推断,作者面对同样一段糟糕的路程,态度从“不喜欢”转变为“接受和发现美”,她的境遇(内心的感受和体验)也彻底改变。这直接体现了态度对处境的决定性影响。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。末段是本文的主旨段,根据“Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches. You can endure anything for four miles — even find beauty and acceptance along the way. (那些景象其实一直都在,只是我从前从未留意。是兰迪教会了我如何去发现它们。如今,每当前路漫长又艰难时,我都会在心里把它拆分成一段段路程 —— 具体来说,就是拆成一个个四英里的片段。原来,哪怕是再难的事,撑过四英里也绝非不可能;甚至在这短短四英里的路上,你还能意外发现沿途的美好,学会坦然接纳当下的处境。)”可知,全文围绕一段艰难的道路展开,这条路既是实指也是象征,代表人生中艰难的旅程。B项表示“一段难走的路”,既写实又含隐喻,贴合文章主旨。故选B。
三、七选五
Reading is much more than a way to get information. It enriches our inner life and sharpens our thinking skills. Yet, trapped in the fast-paced world, many people, carrying anxious minds, struggle to make reading a regular part of daily life. 1
One effective method is to start small and set clear daily goals. Instead of aiming for an hour a day, begin with just 15 minutes of reading before bed. 2 This makes daily reading feel manageable and builds the drive over time, turning a small win into a consistent (连续的) practice.
Another key strategy is to replace screen time with reading time. Many of us spend hours scrolling through social media or watching short videos without realizing it. 3 Replace one 20-minute screen period with a chapter of reading, and you will be surprised at how much we can read in a week.
To truly enjoy reading, we need to choose the right books. Some reading experts and professional websites suggest developing reading habits with classic works. 4 Don’t push yourself to read something too difficult or boring just because it is considered “classic”. Explore different genres (体裁) until you find what attracts you. When the topic interests you, reading will become a pleasure instead of a task.
5 It not only improves our schoolwork at present but also influences our growth in the long run. It shapes our personality and opens a better world for us. As time goes by, the good thing we get from reading will never end. So, make reading part of your life, and you will benefit from it forever.
A.Reading is a lifelong treasure.
B.Such moments deserve better use.
C.Good habits start with small plans.
D.Actually, they often discourage new readers.
E.Reading prepares the body and mind for rest.
F.Luckily, effective approaches are within reach.
G.Here are some practical ways to select a good read.
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.A
