If one group of goats were discovered (发现), I would still have the other...”可知，鲁滨逊将山羊分成两组养在不同地方，目的是即使其中一群被发现，另一群也能存活。这体现了“分散风险”的策略，避免因单一失误导致全部损失。故选C。 14．—Sorry, it’s already 16:30.

When you think of Paris, what comes to mind? Perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, or romantic streets shown in movies and on social media (媒体). Many books, films, and songs paint Paris 15 a dream city full of love and beauty. However, the real Paris can be quite different—just like any other big city, it has 16 subways, cold weather, and even rude waiters. This gap (差距) between expectation and reality can sometimes 17 to something called Paris Syndrome. So, what exactly is Paris Syndrome? It is a set of 18 feelings—such as dizziness, sickness, and anxiety (焦虑)—that some tourists experience when the real Paris does not match the perfect   19 they had in mind. Unlike Stendhal Syndrome (caused by amazement at art) or Jerusalem Syndrome (caused by strong faith), Paris Syndrome comes from disappointment (失望) 20 . The term was first used in 1991 by a Japanese doctor working in France. He noticed that some visitors, 21 from Japan and China, became deeply upset during their trip. Several reasons can explain this. First, the media in East Asia often shows Paris as a perfect, amazing place—something that is hard to find in real life. 22 , language barriers (障碍) and unfriendly local attitudes can make the experience worse. Third, the tiredness from long flights and time difference—which is the feeling of being sleepy at the wrong time of day after a long journey—can also add to the stress. 23 most reported cases are from Asian tourists, Paris Syndrome is not limited to any one group. It serves as an important reminder: what we see in movies, books, and social media is always a carefully chosen story, not the full truth. A city, no matter how famous, is still just a city. Its magic 24 largely on what the visitors themselves are able to find and appreciate. 15．A．for B．as C．like D．with 16．A．convenient B．comfortable C．crowded D．colorful 17．A．cause B．add C．get D．lead 18．A．comfortable B．pleasant C．unpleasant D．painful 19．A．image B．photo C．painting D．saying 20．A．either B．instead C．as well D．too 21．A．specially B．even C．almost D．especially 22．A．Then B．Later C．Second D．Next 23．A．Because B．If C．Although D．Unless 24．A．depends B．works C．insists D．lives 【答案】 15．B 16．C 17．D 18．C 19．A 20．B 21．D 22．C 23．C 24．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了巴黎综合征的概念、产生原因（期望与现实的落差、文化差异等），并指出旅游宣传与真实体验的差距会给游客带来心理冲击。 15．句意：许多书籍、电影和歌曲都把巴黎描绘成一座充满爱与美的梦幻城市。 “paint…as…”，意为“把……描绘成……”，符合语境。“paint for”（为……作画）、“paint like”（画得像……）、“paint with”（用……画）均不符合此处语义。 16．句意：然而，真实的巴黎可能大不相同——就像其他大城市一样，它有拥挤的地铁、寒冷的天气，甚至还有粗鲁的服务员。 此处描述巴黎的负面现实情况，与前文的“梦幻城市”形成反差。“crowded”（拥挤的）符合“大城市常见的问题”这一语境；“convenient”（方便的）、“comfortable”（舒适的）、“colorful”（多彩的）均为正面描述，与后文的负面信息不符。 17．句意：这种期望与现实之间的差距有时会导致一种被称为“巴黎综合征”的现象。 固定搭配“lead to”，意为“导致、引起”，表示差距引发了巴黎综合征。“cause”（引起）后面直接接宾语，不需要加“to”；“add to”（增加）、“get to”（到达）不符合语境。 18．句意：它是一组不愉快的感受——比如头晕、恶心和焦虑——当真实的巴黎与他们脑海中完美的形象不符时，一些游客会经历这些感受。 根据后文列举的“头晕、恶心、焦虑”，这些都是负面的、令人不适的感受，因此选“unpleasant”（不愉快的）。“comfortable”（舒适的）、“pleasant”（愉快的）为正面词汇，与语境矛盾；“painful”（痛苦的）程度过重，不符合这些感受的描述。 19．句意：它是一组不愉快的感受——比如头晕、恶心和焦虑——当真实的巴黎与他们脑海中完美的形象不符时，一些游客会经历这些感受。 “image”意为“形象、印象”，指游客在心中构建的巴黎的完美印象，与“现实巴黎”形成对比。“photo”（照片）、“painting”（画作）、“saying”（谚语）均不符合“脑海中的印象”这一语境。 20．句意：与司汤达综合征（由对艺术的惊叹引起）或耶路撒冷综合征（由强烈的信仰引起）不同，巴黎综合征反而是由失望引起的。 此处对比了三种综合征的成因，用“instead”表示转折，强调巴黎综合征的成因与前两者不同，是“相反地”由失望导致的。“either”（也，用于否定句）、“as well”（也）、“too”（也）均无法体现这种对比转折关系。 21．句意：他注意到一些游客，尤其是来自日本和中国的游客，在旅行中变得非常沮丧。 “especially”意为“尤其、特别”，用于强调在所有游客中，来自日本和中国的游客受影响更明显。 22．句意：首先，东亚的媒体经常把巴黎描绘成一个完美、迷人的地方——这在现实生活中很难找到。其次，语言障碍和当地人不友好的态度会让体验变得更糟。 前文用“First”（第一）列举原因，此处用“Second”（第二）承接，是常见的列举逻辑。 23．句意：尽管大多数报告的案例来自亚洲游客，但巴黎综合征并不局限于任何一个群体。 前后句存在转折关系：“虽然案例多来自亚洲游客，但它并非只发生在亚洲游客身上”，因此用“Although”（尽管）引导让步状语从句。 24．句意：一座城市，无论多么有名，终究只是一座城市。它的魅力很大程度上取决于游客自己能够发现和欣赏什么。 固定搭配“depend on”，意为“取决于、依赖于”，表示城市的魅力由游客自身的体验决定。 三、阅读理解（本大题共 13 小题，每小题 2 分，共 26 分） 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Thoughts on a tranquil night(Tang) Li Bai Before my bed a pool of light; Oh, can it be frost on the ground? Looking up, I find the moon bright; Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned. Home-coming(Tang) He Zhizhang I left home young and not till old do I come back, Unchanged my accent, my hair no longer black. The children whom I meet do not know who am I, “Where do you come from, sir?” they ask with beaming eye. Autumn thoughts(Yuan) Ma Zhiyuan Over old trees wreathed with rotten vines fly crows; Under a small bridge beside a cot a stream flows; On ancient road in western breeze a lean horse goes. Westwards declines the setting sun. Far, far from home is the heart broken one. 25．How did Li Bai feel when he wrote the work? A．Sad. B．Free. C．Thankful. D．Excited. 26．Which of the works was written in a different dynasty? A．Thoughts on a tranquil night B．Home-coming C．Autumn thoughts D．Ma Zhiyuan 27．What do the three works have in common? A．They were all about animals. B．They were written by the same poet. C．The writers missed their hometown a lot. D．The writers were good friends. 【答案】25．A 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文选取三首经典古诗英译版：李白《静夜思》、贺知章《回乡偶书》、马致远《天净沙・秋思》，分别介绍了作者朝代与诗歌内容，三首诗作均饱含思乡之情。 【详解】25．根据“Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.”可知，李白诗句饱含浓重思乡之情，内心伤感。 26．根据“Thoughts on a tranquil night | (Tang) Li Bai”、“Home-coming | (Tang) He Zhizhang”和“Autumn thoughts | (Yuan) Ma Zhiyuan”可知，《天净沙・秋思》作者马致远为元代，其余两首是唐代。 27．《静夜思》思乡、《回乡偶书》久归故里怀乡、《天净沙・秋思》游子漂泊思故乡，三首共同点是作者深切思念家乡。 B You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list. Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else. In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. 28．The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ . A．telling a story B．creating a scene C．giving a reason D．asking a question 29．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The main types of teahouses. B．The address of teahouses. C．Different visitors to teahouses. D．Some activities in teahouses. 30．Which is the best way to divide the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了成都的茶馆文化，包括茶馆的历史、传统与新式茶馆的特点、饮茶方式，以及茶馆作为成都慢生活象征的意义。 【详解】28．第一段“Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds or boiled peanuts.”，第一段通过描写坐在竹椅上、听倒水声、嗑瓜子等场景，营造出成都茶馆的氛围，属于creating a scene（创设场景），而非讲故事、给理由或提问题。 29．第三段“You will find most of Chengdu's traditional teahouses in parks… However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation.”，第三段既介绍了人民公园内的传统茶馆（鹤鸣茶社、少城茶社），也提到了吸引年轻人的新式茶馆（MI XUN茶社），核心是介绍茶馆的主要类型。 30．全文五个段落的结构逻辑，第一段：引出成都茶馆主题；第二段：介绍茶馆历史与传统活动；第三段：介绍传统与新式茶馆的类型；第四段：介绍成都茶馆的饮茶方式；第五段：总结茶馆对成都慢生活的意义，文章结构为：总起（①）→分述（②-④：历史、类型、饮茶方式）→总结（⑤），与选项A的“首尾总起总结，中间分述”结构一致。 C It appears that few young people read for fun these days in the UK. In a 2024 survey, almost one in four people aged 16-24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of brain structure do good readers actually have? New research published in the journal Neuroimage studied data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe (左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear. One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole (颞极) that helps connect and sort different information. For example, to understand the word “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner than the right. The other is the Heschl’s gyrus (赫氏回). There lies the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) that processes sounds. Reading is not only mainly a visual skill. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to notice the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness (语音意识) has been known to make children’s reading development possible. A thinner Heschl’s gyrus has been related to dyslexia, which makes reading very difficult. However, the difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It is also true that having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading. Clearly, the structure of the brain can tell us a lot about reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have had. For example, for young adults who studied languages a lot, the thickness of brain areas related to language increased. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. It’s necessary to consider what might happen to us if less attention is paid to reading. In other words, that cozy moment with a book in your armchair may not just be personal. 31．What do we know about the study published in Neuroilmage? A．It studied people aged 16-24 in the UK. B．It studied people with reading problems. C．It studied the ear structure of people who read. D．It studied the brains of a large number of people. 32．Why is the auditory cortex considered important for reading? A．It builds awareness of speech sounds. B．It controls how fast we read words. C．It supports building reading habits. D．It helps turn letters into images. 33．Which of the following ideas does the result of the study support? A．Less attention should be paid to skills like reading B．The structure of the brain decides reading skills. C．Reading can change some parts of the brain. D．Language learning strengthens the brain. 【答案】31．D 32．A 33．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，从英国年轻人读书变少说起，通过一项脑部研究说明：阅读会改变大脑结构，大脑构造也影响阅读能力。 【详解】31．根据文章第二段第一句“New research published in the journal Neuroimage studied data from more than 1,000 people.”可知，发表在《神经影像》上的这项研究分析了超过1000人的数据，即研究了大量人群的大脑。 32． 根据文章第三段中“There lies the auditory cortex... that processes sounds.”以及“To match letters with speech sounds... This phonological awareness... has been known to make children’s reading development possible.”可知，听觉皮层负责处理声音，帮助建立语音意识，这对阅读发展至关重要。 33． 根据文章最后一段中：“But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have had... Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus.”可知，大脑会随着技能练习而改变，阅读可能会塑造大脑结构，即阅读可以改变大脑的某些部分。 D Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm. I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise! He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street and still no one! “Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.” “Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin( 下 巴 ).” Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling. He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes— nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on. “Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor. 34．The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A．shook B．fought C．hit D．rose 35．How did the man’s feelings change? A．Afraid—surprised—brave. B．Happy—surprised—afraid. C．Afraid—happy—surprised. D．Happy—nervous—surprised. 36．Which is the right order of what happened in the story? a.Mastro Cherry saw a piece of common firewood with joy. b.The old carpenter doubted if anyone was hidden in the wood. c.He heard the same far-away little voice cry “Oh, oh! You hurt me!”. d.Mastro Cherry sang a merry song to encourage himself to work on. e.As he was going to give it the first blow, he had heard a little voice. A．a–e–b–d–c B．e–a–b–c–d C．a–e–c–b–d D．e–a–c–d–b 37．Which might be the best title for the passage? A．Deaf Ears B．Unusual Wood C．Unfriendly Carpenter D．Strange Sounds 【答案】34．C 35．B 36．C 37．B 【导语】本文讲述了一个会说话的奇怪木头。 【详解】34．词义猜测题。根据“Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard”（请小心！不要这么用力打我）可推测此处是指他又在那块木头上狠狠地打了一下。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据“As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy... What a surprise!”（马斯特罗·切里一看到那块木头，就欣喜若狂……真是惊讶啊）以及“Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin(下巴).”（马斯特罗·切里张大了嘴，惊恐地转过眼睛，舌头垂在下巴上）可知这个男人的感情变化是高兴—惊讶—害怕。故选B。 36．细节理解题。根据“As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy... What a surprise!”（马斯特罗·切里一看到那块木头，就欣喜若狂）；“But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say”（但当他准备给它第一次打击时，他站着不动，举起手臂，因为他听到一个小声音说）；“Oh, oh! You hurt me”（哦，哦！你伤害了我）可知，a–e–c排在前面，结合选项C选项符合，故选C。 37．最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文讲述了一个会说话的奇怪木头，所以B选项“不寻常的木头”符合，故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38．It’s important to learn some ______ (基本的) life skills. 【答案】basic 【详解】句意：学习一些基本的生活技能是很重要的。“基本的”basic，作定语修饰名词life skills，符合语境。故填basic。 39．We should work more ______ (紧密地) to build a better future. 【答案】closely 【详解】句意：我们应该更密切地合作，去建造一个更好的未来。此处修饰动词work用副词closely“紧密地”。故填closely。 40．The doctor gave me some medicine to ______ (治疗) my cough. 【答案】treat 【详解】句意：医生给了我一些药来治疗我的咳嗽。此句用动词不定式表示医生开药的目的是治疗咳嗽，空处填动词原形。“治疗”用动词treat。故填treat。 41．Tom put the bike ______ (紧靠) the wall and went inside the house. 【答案】against 【详解】句意：汤姆把自行车紧靠墙放着，然后进了房子。“紧靠”对应的英语介词是“against”，“put...against...”表示“把……靠在……上”，符合语境。故填against。 42．The teacher does some ______ (调查) on students’ favourite subjects. 【答案】surveys 【详解】句意：老师对学生最喜欢的科目做了一些调查。根据汉语提示可知，空处应填survey“调查”，some修饰可数名词复数形式。故填surveys。 （B）根据句意，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 43．People from ______ (south) countries have different habits. 【答案】southern 【详解】句意：来自南方国家的人们有不同的习惯。此处需要一个形容词修饰名词“countries”，“south”是名词，其形容词形式是“southern”表示“南方的”。故填southern。 44．My teachers often ______ (advice) us to choose proper hobbies. 【答案】advise 【详解】句意：我的老师们经常建议我们选择适当的爱好。根据“My teachers often...us to choose proper hobbies.”可知，空处缺一个动词。advice对应动词形式为advise。根据“often”可知，本句时态为一般现在时，且主语为“My teachers”，后面的谓语用原形。故填advise。 45．Good ______ (communicate) is the key to working out problems. 【答案】communication 【详解】句意：良好的沟通是解决问题的关键。Good“良好的”是形容词，后接名词；communicate是动词，意为“交流；沟通”，其名词形式communication“沟通；交流”符合语境，且为不可数名词。故填communication。 46．It is ______ (possible) to finish the project if we don’t work together. 【答案】impossible 【详解】句意：如果我们不合作，完成这个项目是不可能的。根据“if we don’t work together”以及所给单词可知，如果我们不合作，完成这个项目是不可能的，此处需要表达否定含义，即“不可能的”，impossible意为“不可能的”，形容词作表语。故填impossible。 47．We should listen to others ______ (polite) before giving our opinions. 【答案】politely 【详解】句意：在发表我们的意见之前，我们应该礼貌地倾听别人。listen to是动词短语，需用副词修饰；polite是形容词，意为“礼貌的”，其副词形式politely“礼貌地”符合语境，用于说明倾听别人的方式。故填politely。 五、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 48．Hurry up or you ________ (miss) the early bus. 【答案】will miss 【详解】句意：快点，否则你会错过早班车。分析“or you...the early bus”可知，此处表示将来会发生的动作，应用一般将来时，结构是：will+动词原形，结合提示词，空格处应填will miss。故填will miss。 49．The new blanket ______ (feel) warm and comfortable. 【答案】feels 【详解】句意：这条新毯子摸起来又暖和又舒服。“feel”在这里是系动词，意为“摸起来”，不用于被动语态；主语“The new blanket”是第三人称单数，且句子描述的是一般情况，用一般现在时，所以“feel”用第三人称单数形式“feels”。故填feels。 50．You can’t come into this garden until you ______ (allow) to. 【答案】are allowed 【详解】句意：直到你被允许进去，你才能进入这个花园。主语you和动词allow之间是被动关系，句子是until引导的时间状语从句，从句用一般现在时，故此处用一般现在时的被动语态，be动词用are。故填are allowed。 51．The Jiangyin Half Marathon ______ (hold) on April 13, 2025. 【答案】was held 【详解】句意：江阴半程马拉松于2025年4月13日举行。“The Jiangyin Half Marathon”（江阴半程马拉松）是动作的承受者，与“hold”（举办）之间是被动关系，且时间是“on April 13, 2025”，表示过去的时间，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were + 过去分词”；主语“The Jiangyin Half Marathon”是单数，be动词用“was”，“hold”的过去分词是“held”。故填was held。 52．—Why didn’t you open the door for me? —Sorry, I ______ (translate) an email and didn’t hear the knock. 【答案】was translating 【详解】句意：——你为什么不给我开门？——抱歉，我正在翻译一封邮件，没听到敲门声。根据“Why didn’t you open the door for me”和“didn’t hear the knock”可知，“没开门”和“没听到敲门声”的时候，“翻译邮件”这个动作正在进行，所以要用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+现在分词”；主语I是第一人称单数，be动词用was，translate的现在分词是translating。故填was translating。 53．To stay healthy, we should avoid ______ (eat) too many snacks. 【答案】eating 【详解】句意：为了保持健康，我们应该避免吃太多零食。“avoid doing sth.”，表示“避免做某事”，所以此处应填“eating”。故填eating。 54．Mike ______ (dig) deep in the field to find the treasure the other day. 【答案】dug 【详解】句意：前几天麦克为了找到宝藏，在地里挖得很深。dig“挖”，根据“the other day”可知，该句是一般过去时，动词应该填过去式。故填dug。 55．So far, the little boy ______ (fall) over several times while learning to ride. 【答案】has fallen 【详解】句意：到目前为止，这个小男孩在学骑车的时候已经摔倒好几次了。“So far”是现在完成时的标志词，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”；主语“the little boy”是第三人称单数，助动词用“has”；“fall”的过去分词是“fallen”。故填has fallen。 56．We can’t afford ______ (make) any mistakes because it is an important task. 【答案】to make 【详解】句意：我们承担不起犯任何错误，因为这是一项重要的任务。afford to do sth.表示“承担得起做某事”，固定词组。故填to make。 57．Be quiet!

This policy encourages schools to set up spring and autumn holidays. According to the policy, each city can arrange (安排) a 3-day spring break in April and a 3-day autumn break around National Day in October. The exact dates will be decided by each city in Jiangsu Province based on their own teaching plans. The main goal is to help families avoid the crowded travel periods like the Labor Day and National Day holidays. The government said that these new breaks will not affect the total number of teaching days in the school year. Schools are expected to make sure students complete their study normally. Many parents welcome this decision. They believed it is a good chance for children to relax, explore nature, and learn outside the classroom. “It’s wonderful that we can travel when the weather is pleasant and the tourist spots are less crowded,” said one parent. However, some parents also worry that the breaks might affect their children’s study process. This new policy is seen as a positive step towards a more balanced education system. 58．What does this policy encourage schools to do? 59．How many days are there in the spring break and the autumn break altogether in Jiangsu? 60．Who will decide the exact dates? 61．What’s the worry that some parents have about the spring and autumn holidays? 62．Will you support the new policy?

When you think of Paris, what comes to mind? Perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, or romantic streets shown in movies and on social media (媒体). Many books, films, and songs paint Paris 15 a dream city full of love and beauty. However, the real Paris can be quite different—just like any other big city, it has 16 subways, cold weather, and even rude waiters. This gap (差距) between expectation and reality can sometimes 17 to something called Paris Syndrome. So, what exactly is Paris Syndrome? It is a set of 18 feelings—such as dizziness, sickness, and anxiety (焦虑)—that some tourists experience when the real Paris does not match the perfect   19 they had in mind. Unlike Stendhal Syndrome (caused by amazement at art) or Jerusalem Syndrome (caused by strong faith), Paris Syndrome comes from disappointment (失望) 20 . The term was first used in 1991 by a Japanese doctor working in France. He noticed that some visitors, 21 from Japan and China, became deeply upset during their trip. Several reasons can explain this. First, the media in East Asia often shows Paris as a perfect, amazing place—something that is hard to find in real life. 22 , language barriers (障碍) and unfriendly local attitudes can make the experience worse. Third, the tiredness from long flights and time difference—which is the feeling of being sleepy at the wrong time of day after a long journey—can also add to the stress. 23 most reported cases are from Asian tourists, Paris Syndrome is not limited to any one group. It serves as an important reminder: what we see in movies, books, and social media is always a carefully chosen story, not the full truth. A city, no matter how famous, is still just a city. Its magic 24 largely on what the visitors themselves are able to find and appreciate. 15．A．for B．as C．like D．with 16．A．convenient B．comfortable C．crowded D．colorful 17．A．cause B．add C．get D．lead 18．A．comfortable B．pleasant C．unpleasant D．painful 19．A．image B．photo C．painting D．saying 20．A．either B．instead C．as well D．too 21．A．specially B．even C．almost D．especially 22．A．Then B．Later C．Second D．Next 23．A．Because B．If C．Although D．Unless 24．A．depends B．works C．insists D．lives 三、阅读理解（本大题共 13 小题，每小题 2 分，共 26 分） 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Thoughts on a tranquil night(Tang) Li Bai Before my bed a pool of light; Oh, can it be frost on the ground? Looking up, I find the moon bright; Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned. Home-coming(Tang) He Zhizhang I left home young and not till old do I come back, Unchanged my accent, my hair no longer black. The children whom I meet do not know who am I, “Where do you come from, sir?” they ask with beaming eye. Autumn thoughts(Yuan) Ma Zhiyuan Over old trees wreathed with rotten vines fly crows; Under a small bridge beside a cot a stream flows; On ancient road in western breeze a lean horse goes. Westwards declines the setting sun. Far, far from home is the heart broken one. 25．How did Li Bai feel when he wrote the work? A．Sad. B．Free. C．Thankful. D．Excited. 26．Which of the works was written in a different dynasty? A．Thoughts on a tranquil night B．Home-coming C．Autumn thoughts D．Ma Zhiyuan 27．What do the three works have in common? A．They were all about animals. B．They were written by the same poet. C．The writers missed their hometown a lot. D．The writers were good friends. B You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list. Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else. In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. 28．The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ . A．telling a story B．creating a scene C．giving a reason D．asking a question 29．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The main types of teahouses. B．The address of teahouses. C．Different visitors to teahouses. D．Some activities in teahouses. 30．Which is the best way to divide the passage? A． B． C． D． C It appears that few young people read for fun these days in the UK. In a 2024 survey, almost one in four people aged 16-24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of brain structure do good readers actually have? New research published in the journal Neuroimage studied data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe (左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear. One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole (颞极) that helps connect and sort different information. For example, to understand the word “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner than the right. The other is the Heschl’s gyrus (赫氏回). There lies the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) that processes sounds. Reading is not only mainly a visual skill. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to notice the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness (语音意识) has been known to make children’s reading development possible. A thinner Heschl’s gyrus has been related to dyslexia, which makes reading very difficult. However, the difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It is also true that having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading. Clearly, the structure of the brain can tell us a lot about reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have had. For example, for young adults who studied languages a lot, the thickness of brain areas related to language increased. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. It’s necessary to consider what might happen to us if less attention is paid to reading. In other words, that cozy moment with a book in your armchair may not just be personal. 31．What do we know about the study published in Neuroilmage? A．It studied people aged 16-24 in the UK. B．It studied people with reading problems. C．It studied the ear structure of people who read. D．It studied the brains of a large number of people. 32．Why is the auditory cortex considered important for reading? A．It builds awareness of speech sounds. B．It controls how fast we read words. C．It supports building reading habits. D．It helps turn letters into images. 33．Which of the following ideas does the result of the study support? A．Less attention should be paid to skills like reading B．The structure of the brain decides reading skills. C．Reading can change some parts of the brain. D．Language learning strengthens the brain. D Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm. I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise! He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street and still no one! “Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.” “Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin( 下 巴 ).” Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling. He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes— nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on. “Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor. 34．The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A．shook B．fought C．hit D．rose 35．How did the man’s feelings change? A．Afraid—surprised—brave. B．Happy—surprised—afraid. C．Afraid—happy—surprised. D．Happy—nervous—surprised. 36．Which is the right order of what happened in the story? a.Mastro Cherry saw a piece of common firewood with joy. b.The old carpenter doubted if anyone was hidden in the wood. c.He heard the same far-away little voice cry “Oh, oh!

This policy encourages schools to set up spring and autumn holidays. According to the policy, each city can arrange (安排) a 3-day spring break in April and a 3-day autumn break around National Day in October. The exact dates will be decided by each city in Jiangsu Province based on their own teaching plans. The main goal is to help families avoid the crowded travel periods like the Labor Day and National Day holidays. The government said that these new breaks will not affect the total number of teaching days in the school year. Schools are expected to make sure students complete their study normally. Many parents welcome this decision. They believed it is a good chance for children to relax, explore nature, and learn outside the classroom. “It’s wonderful that we can travel when the weather is pleasant and the tourist spots are less crowded,” said one parent. However, some parents also worry that the breaks might affect their children’s study process. This new policy is seen as a positive step towards a more balanced education system. 58．What does this policy encourage schools to do? 59．How many days are there in the spring break and the autumn break altogether in Jiangsu? 60．Who will decide the exact dates? 61．What’s the worry that some parents have about the spring and autumn holidays? 62．Will you support the new policy? Why? 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63．在八年级举行的“青春仪式”活动中，同学们畅谈青春之梦，立志发展自己，服务社会。十四岁的我们可以做什么，让我们的家乡宿迁更文明、家园更美丽、生活更幸福？请根据下面表格提供的信息，用英语写一篇短文。 文明礼仪 (1) 公共场合保持安静； (2) 不插队, 有礼貌; ……(自由发挥1-2句) 关爱他人 (1)乐于助人，友善待人； (2)参加社区志愿者工作(1-2例) 环境保护 (1)不乱丢垃圾： (2)步行或骑自行车上学：……(自由发挥1-2句) 注意：1.根据提示内容，可适当发挥，要求语句通顺、意思连贯； 2.词数：90 个词左右，标题和开头已给出，不计入总词数。 3.文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 Suqian is now trying to become a national civilized modern city.
