They always compared him with his sister, so Luca 1 (feel) blue. He often argued with his parents about this. Later, Luca wanted to show his parents he was able to do things as 2 (good) as his sister. Then he started to spend most of his free time painting. Luckily, Mrs Smith, his art teacher, offered him a lot of help. She gave Luca some good suggestions. With 3 help of Mrs Smith, Luca improved his skills a lot. One day after class, Luca told Mrs Smith about his problem. She advised him 4 (join) in a painting competition. She said to Luca, “The best way to communicate with 5 (you) parents is to prove (证明) yourself to them.” After a few weeks, the result finally came out. Luca was 6 (joy) because he got first prize. When he took the prize home, his parents were 7 (shock). They never thought their son could have done such a good job. Both of them felt proud 8 Luca. What’s more, they understood how Luca felt, and made a 9 (decide) that they would never compare Luca with his sister anymore. Now, relations between Luca 10 his parents are much better than before. Passage 2 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的词或填入括号中单词的正确形式。 Mount Qomolangma, standing at around 8,848.86 metres, is the world’s highest mountain above sea level. But do you know that 1 (it) height is growing? Scientists say the huge mountain grows by as much as two millimetres (毫米) every year. Two millimetres is very tiny, 2 the change will be big over time. In 3 recent study, researchers have suggested that Qomolangma is growing because of a river, the Arun. This powerful river 4 (run) along the Himalayas and washes away rocks and soil. Then a huge, deep gorge (峡谷) 5 (create). As there is now less ground material left in that area, the crust (地壳) becomes lighter as well. This allows the crusts 6 (push) against each other and go upwards. Many 7 (year) later, the whole process raises the height of the land—even big, heavy mountains. 8 makes Qomolangma grow so rapidly? Researchers discovered that with a lot more water going through the Arun, the river would wash away more rocks and soil. As a result, the gorge becomes even 9 (big) in a shorter time, causing Qomolangma to grow more quickly. It is 10 (real) amazing to think about how nature can change the world’s highest mountain! Passage 3 Have you ever seen a sandstorm? Last spring, I was visiting my uncle in the north when a sandstorm 1 (hit) the city. At first, the sky turned orange. Then the wind became stronger and stronger. I 2 (try) to go back home, but I could hardly see the road. My uncle called me and told me 3 (stay) inside a shop. He said, “Don’t go out until the wind 4 (stop).” I waited for about two hours. When I finally got home, my clothes and hair were full of sand. 5 (wear) a mask is very important during a sandstorm. It protects our lungs from small dust particles. We should also cover our eyes with goggles. After the storm, we need 6 (clean) our house carefully. Sand can get into everything. Now I always check the air quality before 7 (travel) to the north. Nature’s temper can be unexpected, but we can learn basic 8 (skill) to deal with it. Let’s share this knowledge with 9 (we) friends and family. Remember, staying safe is 10 (important) than anything else. Passage 4 根据短文内容及括号内所给词语的提示填空，使短文完整、通顺 In the corner of my room stands a piano. It takes up a large part of the space and it is the most important thing in my room. I 1 (have) this piano for five years. It was a gift from my dear grandma on my tenth birthday. At that time, buying a piano was not an easy thing for our family. Grandma 2 (save) every cent and visited countless stores, comparing prices and qualities (质量), trying to get the best one for me. When I first 3 (get) it, you wouldn’t imagine how excited I was. Since then, it 4 (be) a big part of my life. Every time I sat down to practise, Grandma would quietly sit beside me. Even though she 5 (not know) how to play the piano, her eyes would light up with warmth and pride (自豪) as she watched me play. She would encourage me with soft words like, “You 6 (do) great. Keep going!” We spent many afternoons like this, with me learning to play and her offering silent support (无声的支持). Sadly, Grandma passed away two years ago. But every time I 7 (sit) at the piano and start to play, it feels like she is right beside me. I 8 (keep) practising over the past two years since her passing, and the piano 9 (become) a bridge to my memories of Grandma. Even though Grandma is no longer here, the love she gave me through this piano 10 (stay) with me forever. Passage 5 Zhang Peng, a 14-year-old boy from Class 3, used to think reading was a waste of time. Last month, his friend Li Hua gave him a book named “Naughty Boy”. Li Hua told him 1 (read) the first chapter. Zhang Peng started 2 (read) it just to be polite. Surprisingly, he soon found 3 (he) laughing. The stories were so funny that he couldn’t stop 4 (turn) the pages. 5 (read) became his new hobby. Now, he enjoys 6 (spend) an hour reading every night. His mom often reminds him 7 (not sleep) too late. When he finishes a book, he likes 8 (share) it with his classmates. Zhang Peng also started 9 (keep) a reading diary. He believes reading can 10 (rich) his mind. Now he thinks reading is the best way to relax. He even gave up playing video games on weekends. His parents are very happy. Passage 6 Wang Tao used to be very shy. He often played games on his phone and forgot about homework. One day, his classmate Li Wei asked him, “Can you help me with my English?” Wang Tao hesitated but finally agreed 1 (help). He didn’t know this would change him. He started 2 (spend) an hour each evening preparing. 3 (teach) someone else was not easy. At first, he doubted 4 (he). But Li Wei was patient, he told 5 (he) not to give up. He began 6 (watch) English videos to find better ways. Slowly, he found 7 (he) enjoying it. He even stopped 8 (worry) about making mistakes. Li Wei’s progress made him proud. Their teacher praised him. Wang Tao learned that helping others is also helping 9 (you). Now he plans 10 (start) a study group. He told his classmates, “If I can change, you can too.” Passage 7 Isabella is a very warm-hearted girl. She is always ready to help people in trouble. So far Isabella 1 (study) in college for 2 years. At the same time, she is volunteering 2 (teach) at Heart House in her free time. Heart House is 3 after-school programme for children. It gives some extra education to those children who are not doing 4 (good) in their studies, and tries to change their study habits. Isabella goes to Heart House to teach the children 5 (two) a week. She also set up a website for Heart House. Because of Isabella’s website, every week more than one hundred volunteers spend about four hours 6 the children at Heart House now. “Without Isabella’s website, Heart House would have trouble 7 (find) enough volunteers,” the programme leader says. “I always have a strong feeling of 8 (successful) when I teach those kids how to study. The best thing is that I can also learn a lot from 9 (they). I won’t give up 10 (volunteer) after graduation. I hope to go on teaching kids in need.” Isabella says. Passage 8 Here 1 (be) a true story that shows how reading can change a person. My friend Li Hua used to be the quietest boy in our class. He never 2 (dare) to raise his hand or speak in front of people. One day, his English teacher Miss Wang noticed his problem. She gave him a book called “Speak Up” and told him 3 (try) reading it aloud at home. She said reading could build 4 (confident). Li Hua didn’t really believe it, but he took her 5 (advise). He began to read the book every evening. The story was about a shy boy who learned 6 (express) his feelings bravely. Li Hua kept 7 (read) even when he felt tired.

He says reading has 9 (true) changed him. Here 10 (be) his tips: choose books you love, read a little every day, and never stop learning. I hope his story inspires you. Remember, a good book can be your best friend. 二、阅读理解： Passage 9 ①What is happiness? What can we do to be happy? On 20th March every year, the International Day of Happiness tells people the importance of staying happy. And experts in different fields have different answers to the questions. ②In the field of psychology (心理学) , Dr Sonia sees happiness as the experience of joy. People’s feelings and thoughts influence their happiness, according to the writers of the book Culture and Psychology. A person’s personality and their relationships between different people are important too. ③Another expert in medical fields found that DNA might influence how happy you are. A study from Vrije University Amsterdam shows that for men, DNA makes 22% of the difference in how happy they are. For women, DNA makes 41% of the difference. ④In economics (经济学) , Dr Peter said that how much money you have, your feelings about your job and the happiness of family members all influence happiness. And money is the most important one. He thinks when people don’t have much money, getting more money makes them happier. But after they make enough money, getting even more money only makes them a little happier. ⑤ The truth is that happiness is different for everyone. As a result, everyone sees it differently and gets it in different ways. It’s a life lesson and needs our lifelong time to research. 1. How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing the numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By telling stories. 2. What is the most important to influence happiness according to Dr Peter? A．The happiness of family members. B．How you feel about your job. C．The experience of joy. D．How much money you have. 3. What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of being happy. B．The advice for people to be happy. C．Different memories of being happy. D．Different opinions about happiness. Passage 10 Have you ever seen a spring (泉) that looks like a giant eye? In Croatia, there is a famous natural wonder called the “Eye of the Earth”. It is located near the town of Cetina. Its real name is the Cetina River Spring. People also call it Izvor Cetina. With a depth of 150 meters, it is a karst spring with year-round water temperatures ranging from 4 to 8 degrees Celsius. It is a popular place for diving enthusiasts and explorers, and a must-visit destination for photography lovers. How did this spring form? Over thousands of years, water slowly eroded the rocks. This created a shape that looks like a human eye. The deep center is like the pupil (瞳孔), and the calm water surface reflects the mountains and trees around it. These reflections look like eyelashes and eyeshadow. It is a perfect example of nature’s beauty. The spring is not just beautiful—it has a long history. Long ago, prehistoric people and the Illyrians (伊利里亚人) likely depended on it as a key water source (源头). Throughout history, the Cetina River has watered farmlands and pastures across Dalmatia. Traditional watermills used its power, and small villages grew along its banks. However, the “Eye of the Earth” also sends us a serious message. As tourism grows rapidly, more and more visitors come to see this wonder. But too many people, along with pollution and over-development, may harm the ecosystem. While we enjoy nature’s gift, we must also protect it. We need to find ways to visit without harming nature. 1. What makes the spring look like an eye? A．Its round shape and the reflections around it. B．The fish and plants living inside it. C．The color of the rocks at the bottom. D．The bridge built over it by local people. 2. What does the underlined word “eroded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Built up. B．Washed away. C．Painted over. D．Covered up. 3. What can we infer about the Illyrians from the passage? A．They built the first watermills along the river. B．They were the first to name the spring “Eye of the Earth”. C．The spring was important for them for a long time. D．They stopped tourism from harming the spring. 4. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．Introduction → history → beauty → problem & protection. B．Beauty → history → problem →call for action. C．Location & popularity → formation→ history → problem & protection. D．Personal story→ scientific facts → history→ future predictions. Passage 11 Climate change has brought a serious warning of not having enough water and animal disappearing if we don’t care about Mother Nature. Indeed, many efforts have been made by different organizations, encouraging us to save the earth. These have certainly raised awareness of the environmental problems, and laws have been made by governments to reduce pollution. However, I don’t think people are doing enough to protect the environment. ① Every year, about 9 million people die from pollution—related causes, and that is three times more than deaths because of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This number shows that many people pay little attention to the environment in their daily lives. And there are not enough actions to prevent the biodiversity (生物多样性) loss, climate change and pollution. What we need to do is to first relook the way we live. ② For the past two years, I have been trying to protect the environment. Firstly, I am more careful with the use of electricity. I used to turn on all the lights when entering a room. Now I make it a point to open the curtains and let natural light in. If it gets dark, I turn on only one light and make sure to turn it off when leaving the room. This has worked wonders and my parents are pleased too, as it has cut out our electricity bill by 50 percent. ③ Besides energy protection, I’ve formed the habit of bringing my own reusable bags wherever I go. This greatly reduces my need of plastic bags! Whenever I go shopping, I use my own reusable bags instead of plastic bags offered. It takes time and effort to wash up, but when I count the number of plastic bags that I would save with this small behavior, it’s well worth those extra minutes of my time. Finally, being a carnivore (食肉动物), I can never completely give up meat. Yet, after reading an article showing how a vegan (素食主义者) diet could cut global greenhouse emissions by about 70 percent, I decided to do something. Luckily, I happened to find meatless Mondays on Instagram and realized this was something I could do: be vegetarian once a week. __________ At a UN meeting in December 2024, where over 200 countries met to find nine practical ways to reduce carbon, the most important reminder was that we are the last generation that can stop climate change. ④ 1. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph I refer to? A．The importance of saying no to pollution. B．The awareness of protecting the environment. C．The efforts organizations have made to save the earth. D．The laws governments have made to reduce pollution. 2. What do Paragraphs 3 to 5 mainly talk about? A．How the writer lives a green life. B．Where the writer gets green ideas. C．Why the writer thinks energy is important. D．What the writer does to save electricity. 3. What may the writer write about at the end of Paragraph 5? A．The difference between a carnivore and a vegan. B．The advantage that being a vegetarian once a week brings. C．The explanation of what Meatless Mondays on Instagram is. D．The percent of global greenhouse emissions the writer helps cut. 4. Where does the sentence “If that is true, I am proud that I have done my part to protect the environment.” best fit? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ Passage 12 Table manners are very important in cross-cultural communication. Good table manners show your respect for others and local culture. In Western countries, there are many strict table rules. People should keep quiet while eating and never talk loudly. They use forks and knives properly and shouldn’t make noise with tableware. It’s polite to finish the food on your plate. If you are full, you can politely refuse more food. In China, we also have traditional table manners. We usually let elders sit first and start eating after elders. It’s rude to stick chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. We shouldn’t point at others with chopsticks either. Although Eastern and Western table manners are different, they all stand for politeness and respect. When we are in different cultural environments, we should follow local table manners. Learning different table manners helps us cross cultural barriers and communicate better with people around the world. 1. What is impolite in Western dining? A．Eating quietly. B．Making noise with tableware. C．Finishing food on plates. D．Refusing food politely. 2. What is a rude behavior at Chinese dinner tables? A．Letting elders sit first. B．Waiting for elders to eat first. C．Sticking chopsticks in rice. D．Using chopsticks properly. 3. What do Eastern and Western table manners have in common? A．They are totally the same. B．They show politeness and respect. C．They are very strict. D．They are hard to learn. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A．We only need to learn Chinese table manners. B．Western table manners are better than Chinese ones. C．Table manners help cross-cultural communication. D．Cultural differences are bad for communication. Passage 13 The mystery (神秘的事) began as the twins looked around their new home—an old house with apple trees. What interested the twins most was the attic (阁楼). There they found a dirty old bottle. After cleaning it, a surprising note inside caught their attention. *By stones where shadows lie, close to where old leaves die.* *Not far below, under the earth, lies a treasure of secret worth.* *If you search and do not fear, the past will soon be clear.* *Near the bed where dragonflies fly, dig by the wettest place nearby.* “A treasure!” Anna said excitedly. “And these clues (线索)! Where old leaves die,” Sam read aloud. “It’s near those apple trees.” “Let’s get a shovel (铲子) and borrow a metal detector (金属探测器) to find the treasure.” With their parents’ help, Sam used the detector under the apple trees and found an old bottle cap. They also checked the stone wall but there was only a nail. All their early leads turned out to be wrong. That night, Anna kept thinking about “bed” in the note. She looked it up in the dictionary and suddenly, an idea clicked. The next morning, she led everyone into the woods where a stone wall ran by a stream. “Where’s the bed?” Sam asked. “Bed also means the bottom of a stream and that's where dragonflies lay their eggs.” Anna explained, sweeping the detector. Beeeeee. They dug carefully and found a lunch box. “Look at all these things.” They pulled out the treasures: a postcard, a music record, a silver half-dollar, and a baseball card. “It's a box from the past!” Sam shouted. “Look,1964 on the baseball card!” “But who buried (埋) it?” Anna wondered, holding up the postcard. On the back was another note: *The past is a mystery, the present a race, to find who I am, just find the place.* *Look where stories and words stay, or behind the doors where secrets hide away.* Anna laughed. “Here we go again-another mystery to solve!” 1. Why did someone leave the first note? A．To ask someone to help solve the mystery. B．To introduce the history of the old house. C．To lead people to find something valuable. D．To describe where dragonflies like to live. 2. How did Anna probably feel when “an idea clicked”? A．Hopeful and certain. B．Surprised but a little scared. C．Curious and interested. D．Excited but a little worried. 3. What can we infer (推断) from the story? A．The twins knew there was a note in the attic. B．It was very easy for the twins to find the hidden treasure. C．It was certain that the twins knew who buried the box. D．There was no doubt that the twins would continue with the mystery. 4. What is the best title for this story? A．New Home B．Hidden Treasure C．Lovely Twins D．Mystery Bottle Passage 14 Jiang Danni is a 24-year-old volunteer from East China. She has volunteered in schools in Lebanon and countries in Africa. And her videos about her experience have drawn many people’s attention. After graduating (毕业) from university in 2020, Danni chose to work in Africa for a year and then journeyed to seven countries. A primary school in Uganda stopped her. She had a peaceful time getting to know the children at the school. She taught children in Grades One to Four.

Recently, researchers 3 the jumping robot in a simulated zero-gravity environment during a European Space Agency parabolic flight, according to a report from the university. The robot has a triangular body with a(n) 4 at each corner. Each of these legs has a knee and a hip joint, allowing the robot to move in space and 5 in a certain place. Space Hopper is made for 6 small celestial bodies like asteroids and moons, where gravity is 7 or nonexistent. Researchers believe asteroids have 8 minerals that could help people in the future. Studying these small celestial bodies could also help us learn about 9 our universe was formed. Exploring these small celestial bodies is difficult 10 there is almost no gravity, which means spacecraft wheels can’t move on the surface 11 . There is also very little or no air to help a spacecraft 12 . To solve this problem, Space Hopper moves by jumping 13 using wheels.

Before the trip, Maya told me to 1 a small gift—she said it’s a common way to show kindness to hosts. I picked a box of Chinese tea, hoping her family would like it. When I arrived at Maya’s house, she greeted me with a “wai” (a traditional Thai greeting: pressing palms together). She taught me that the 2 of the hands shows respect: hands at chest level for friends, and higher for elders. I tried to make the 3 “wai” and Maya laughed, saying I did well. Maya’s mother led me into the living room and asked me to 4 my shoes at the door. “Shoes bring dirt indoors,” she explained. I 5 put my shoes next to others, and she gave me soft slippers. Then she offered me a glass of coconut water—cold and sweet, it was exactly what I needed on the hot day. At lunch, the table was full of dishes: green curry, pad thai, and fresh mango. Maya warned me not to 6 food with my left hand. “We use the left hand for unclean tasks,” she said quietly. I nodded and used my right hand to 7 some curry with rice. When Maya’s father asked if I wanted more, I said “yes” even though I was almost full—I didn’t want to 8 him by saying I’d had enough. After lunch, Maya took me to a nearby temple. She told me to 9 my shoulders and knees—temple rules require visitors to dress modestly. I borrowed a scarf from her to cover my knees. Inside the temple, we walked 10 —talking loudly is not allowed. I watched locals leave small flowers at the statue, and Maya said it’s their way to 11 their wishes. When I left in the evening, Maya’s family walked me to the door. I 12 goodbye and made a “wai” again. Maya smiled and said, “Remember, 13 small customs helps you get closer to people here.” Her words made me think: learning about other cultures isn’t just about 14 rules—it’s about understanding how people show care.

In Croatia, there is a famous natural wonder called the “Eye of the Earth”. It is located near the town of Cetina. Its real name is the Cetina River Spring. People also call it Izvor Cetina. With a depth of 150 meters, it is a karst spring with year-round water temperatures ranging from 4 to 8 degrees Celsius. It is a popular place for diving enthusiasts and explorers, and a must-visit destination for photography lovers. How did this spring form? Over thousands of years, water slowly eroded the rocks. This created a shape that looks like a human eye. The deep center is like the pupil (瞳孔), and the calm water surface reflects the mountains and trees around it. These reflections look like eyelashes and eyeshadow. It is a perfect example of nature’s beauty. The spring is not just beautiful—it has a long history. Long ago, prehistoric people and the Illyrians (伊利里亚人) likely depended on it as a key water source (源头). Throughout history, the Cetina River has watered farmlands and pastures across Dalmatia. Traditional watermills used its power, and small villages grew along its banks. However, the “Eye of the Earth” also sends us a serious message. As tourism grows rapidly, more and more visitors come to see this wonder. But too many people, along with pollution and over-development, may harm the ecosystem. While we enjoy nature’s gift, we must also protect it. We need to find ways to visit without harming nature. 1. What makes the spring look like an eye? A．Its round shape and the reflections around it. B．The fish and plants living inside it. C．The color of the rocks at the bottom. D．The bridge built over it by local people. 2. What does the underlined word “eroded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Built up. B．Washed away. C．Painted over. D．Covered up. 3. What can we infer about the Illyrians from the passage? A．They built the first watermills along the river. B．They were the first to name the spring “Eye of the Earth”. C．The spring was important for them for a long time. D．They stopped tourism from harming the spring. 4. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．Introduction → history → beauty → problem & protection. B．Beauty → history → problem →call for action. C．Location & popularity → formation→ history → problem & protection. D．Personal story→ scientific facts → history→ future predictions. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C 【导语】本文主要介绍了克罗地亚的自然奇观“地球之眼”——塞蒂纳河泉的地理位置、形成原因、历史价值以及面临的保护问题。 1. 第二段明确指出：“This created a shape that looks like a human eye... the calm water surface reflects the mountains and trees around it. These reflections look like eyelashes and eyeshadow”，说明泉眼看起来像眼睛是因为它的形状和周围的倒影。 2. 第二段提到“Over thousands of years, water slowly eroded the rocks. This created a shape that looks like a human eye”，意思是几千年来，水慢慢地侵蚀岩石，形成了像人眼的形状，所以“eroded”意思是侵蚀，即冲走，与“Washed away”意思相符。 3. 第三段指出“Long ago, prehistoric people and the Illyrians likely depended on it as a key water source”，说明伊利里亚人长期以来依赖这个泉水作为重要水源。 4. 文章结构为：第一段介绍位置和受欢迎程度；第二段介绍形成过程；第三段介绍历史；第四段指出问题并呼吁保护。因此为“位置与受欢迎程度→形成→历史→问题与保护”的结构，即“Location & popularity → formation→ history → problem & protection.”。 Passage 11 Climate change has brought a serious warning of not having enough water and animal disappearing if we don’t care about Mother Nature. Indeed, many efforts have been made by different organizations, encouraging us to save the earth. These have certainly raised awareness of the environmental problems, and laws have been made by governments to reduce pollution. However, I don’t think people are doing enough to protect the environment. ① Every year, about 9 million people die from pollution—related causes, and that is three times more than deaths because of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This number shows that many people pay little attention to the environment in their daily lives. And there are not enough actions to prevent the biodiversity (生物多样性) loss, climate change and pollution. What we need to do is to first relook the way we live. ② For the past two years, I have been trying to protect the environment. Firstly, I am more careful with the use of electricity. I used to turn on all the lights when entering a room. Now I make it a point to open the curtains and let natural light in. If it gets dark, I turn on only one light and make sure to turn it off when leaving the room. This has worked wonders and my parents are pleased too, as it has cut out our electricity bill by 50 percent. ③ Besides energy protection, I’ve formed the habit of bringing my own reusable bags wherever I go. This greatly reduces my need of plastic bags! Whenever I go shopping, I use my own reusable bags instead of plastic bags offered. It takes time and effort to wash up, but when I count the number of plastic bags that I would save with this small behavior, it’s well worth those extra minutes of my time. Finally, being a carnivore (食肉动物), I can never completely give up meat. Yet, after reading an article showing how a vegan (素食主义者) diet could cut global greenhouse emissions by about 70 percent, I decided to do something. Luckily, I happened to find meatless Mondays on Instagram and realized this was something I could do: be vegetarian once a week. __________ At a UN meeting in December 2024, where over 200 countries met to find nine practical ways to reduce carbon, the most important reminder was that we are the last generation that can stop climate change. ④ 1. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph I refer to? A．The importance of saying no to pollution. B．The awareness of protecting the environment. C．The efforts organizations have made to save the earth. D．The laws governments have made to reduce pollution. 2. What do Paragraphs 3 to 5 mainly talk about? A．How the writer lives a green life. B．Where the writer gets green ideas. C．Why the writer thinks energy is important. D．What the writer does to save electricity. 3. What may the writer write about at the end of Paragraph 5? A．The difference between a carnivore and a vegan. B．The advantage that being a vegetarian once a week brings. C．The explanation of what Meatless Mondays on Instagram is. D．The percent of global greenhouse emissions the writer helps cut. 4. Where does the sentence “If that is true, I am proud that I have done my part to protect the environment.” best fit? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文通过个人环保实践案例，探讨了气候变化背景下人类行动的不足与改进方向，并呼吁更多人参与环保行动。 【详解】1. 词句猜测题。根据第1段“Indeed, many efforts have been made by different organizations, encouraging us to save the earth. These have certainly raised awareness of the environmental problems.”（不同的组织已经做出了许多努力，鼓励我们拯救地球。这些无疑提高了人们对环境问题的认识）可知，“these”指代前文“不同的组织为拯救地球所做的努力”。故选C。 2. 段落大意题。根据“For the past two years, I have been trying to protect the environment.”、“Besides energy protection, I’ve formed the habit of bringing my own reusable bags wherever I go.”和“ Finally, being a carnivore (食肉动物), I can never completely give up meat...Luckily, I happened to find meatless Mondays on Instagram and realized this was something I could do: be vegetarian once a week.”可知，这几段分别描述了作者节约用电（第3段）、使用环保袋（第4段）和参与“无肉星期一”（第5段）的具体行动，属于“绿色生活方式”的实践。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据“after reading an article showing how a vegan (素食主义者) diet could cut global greenhouse emissions by about 70 percent, I decided to do something. Luckily, I happened to find meatless Mondays on Instagram and realized this was something I could do: be vegetarian once a week.”可知，第5段提到作者因素食可减少温室气体排放而决定每周吃素一天，结尾应与此行动的意义相关。B项“每周一天素食的好处”符合逻辑。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。句子“If that is true, I am proud that I have done my part to protect the environment”（如果这是真的，我很自豪我为保护环境尽了自己的一份力量）表达对环保贡献的自豪，与第6段“the most important reminder was that we are the last generation that can stop climate change”（最重要的提醒是，我们是能够阻止气候变化的最后一代人）的紧迫呼吁形成呼应，所以适合放在④处总结全文。故选D。 Passage 12 Table manners are very important in cross-cultural communication. Good table manners show your respect for others and local culture. In Western countries, there are many strict table rules. People should keep quiet while eating and never talk loudly. They use forks and knives properly and shouldn’t make noise with tableware. It’s polite to finish the food on your plate. If you are full, you can politely refuse more food. In China, we also have traditional table manners. We usually let elders sit first and start eating after elders. It’s rude to stick chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. We shouldn’t point at others with chopsticks either. Although Eastern and Western table manners are different, they all stand for politeness and respect. When we are in different cultural environments, we should follow local table manners. Learning different table manners helps us cross cultural barriers and communicate better with people around the world. 1. What is impolite in Western dining? A．Eating quietly. B．Making noise with tableware. C．Finishing food on plates. D．Refusing food politely. 2. What is a rude behavior at Chinese dinner tables? A．Letting elders sit first. B．Waiting for elders to eat first. C．Sticking chopsticks in rice. D．Using chopsticks properly. 3. What do Eastern and Western table manners have in common? A．They are totally the same. B．They show politeness and respect. C．They are very strict. D．They are hard to learn. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A．We only need to learn Chinese table manners. B．Western table manners are better than Chinese ones. C．Table manners help cross-cultural communication. D．Cultural differences are bad for communication. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西方和中国的餐桌礼仪差异，强调了遵守当地礼仪对于跨文化交流的重要性。 【详解】1. 根据第二段“They use forks and knives properly and shouldn’t make noise with tableware.”可知，在西方用餐时，餐具发出噪音是不礼貌的。 2. 根据第三段“It’s rude to stick chopsticks upright in the rice bowl."可知，在中国餐桌上，把筷子直插在米饭里是粗鲁的行为。 3. 根据第四段“Although Eastern and Western table manners are different, they all stand for politeness and respect.”可知，东西方餐桌礼仪的共同点是都代表礼貌和尊重。 4. 根据第一段“Table manners are very important in cross-cultural communication.”及最后一段“Learning different table manners helps us cross cultural barriers and communicate better...”可知，学习餐桌礼仪有助于跨文化交流。 Passage 13 The mystery (神秘的事) began as the twins looked around their new home—an old house with apple trees. What interested the twins most was the attic (阁楼). There they found a dirty old bottle. After cleaning it, a surprising note inside caught their attention. *By stones where shadows lie, close to where old leaves die.* *Not far below, under the earth, lies a treasure of secret worth.* *If you search and do not fear, the past will soon be clear.* *Near the bed where dragonflies fly, dig by the wettest place nearby.* “A treasure!” Anna said excitedly. “And these clues (线索)! Where old leaves die,” Sam read aloud. “It’s near those apple trees.” “Let’s get a shovel (铲子) and borrow a metal detector (金属探测器) to find the treasure.” With their parents’ help, Sam used the detector under the apple trees and found an old bottle cap. They also checked the stone wall but there was only a nail. All their early leads turned out to be wrong. That night, Anna kept thinking about “bed” in the note. She looked it up in the dictionary and suddenly, an idea clicked. The next morning, she led everyone into the woods where a stone wall ran by a stream. “Where’s the bed?” Sam asked. “Bed also means the bottom of a stream and that's where dragonflies lay their eggs.” Anna explained, sweeping the detector. Beeeeee. They dug carefully and found a lunch box. “Look at all these things.” They pulled out the treasures: a postcard, a music record, a silver half-dollar, and a baseball card. “It's a box from the past!” Sam shouted. “Look,1964 on the baseball card!” “But who buried (埋) it?” Anna wondered, holding up the postcard. On the back was another note: *The past is a mystery, the present a race, to find who I am, just find the place.* *Look where stories and words stay, or behind the doors where secrets hide away.* Anna laughed. “Here we go again-another mystery to solve!” 1. Why did someone leave the first note? A．To ask someone to help solve the mystery. B．To introduce the history of the old house. C．To lead people to find something valuable. D．To describe where dragonflies like to live. 2. How did Anna probably feel when “an idea clicked”? A．Hopeful and certain. B．Surprised but a little scared. C．Curious and interested. D．Excited but a little worried. 3. What can we infer (推断) from the story? A．The twins knew there was a note in the attic. B．It was very easy for the twins to find the hidden treasure. C．It was certain that the twins knew who buried the box. D．There was no doubt that the twins would continue with the mystery. 4. What is the best title for this story? A．New Home B．Hidden Treasure C．Lovely Twins D．Mystery Bottle 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了双胞胎在新家阁楼发现一个旧瓶子，里面有一张藏宝诗，他们通过解读线索最终找到一个装有旧物品的午餐盒，并在盒中发现了新的谜题。 【详解】1. 诗中句子写道“lies a treasure of secret worth”（隐藏着一份秘密的宝藏）以及Anna看到后兴奋地说“A treasure!”（一份宝藏！），留下第一张纸条的目的是为了引导人们找到有价值的东西。 2. 前文提到多次尝试失败后，写道“Anna kept thinking about ‘bed’...she looked it up in the dictionary and suddenly, an idea clicked”以及第二天她自信地带大家去溪边寻找，当想法“突然闪现”时，她内心应充满希望且确信找到了正确线索。 3. 文章最后一段Anna说“Here we go again—another mystery to solve!”（我们又开始了——另一个谜题要解决！），她们毫无疑问会继续破解下一个谜题。A项twins事先不知道有纸条；B项寻找过程并不顺利；C项文中明确提到Anna wondered谁埋的盒子。 4. 全文围绕双胞胎寻找宝藏展开，从解读纸条线索到最终找到装有旧物品的午餐盒，故事的核心内容是“隐藏的宝藏”，因此最佳标题为Hidden Treasure“隐藏的宝藏”。 Passage 14 Jiang Danni is a 24-year-old volunteer from East China. She has volunteered in schools in Lebanon and countries in Africa. And her videos about her experience have drawn many people’s attention.

Recently, researchers 3 the jumping robot in a simulated zero-gravity environment during a European Space Agency parabolic flight, according to a report from the university. The robot has a triangular body with a(n) 4 at each corner. Each of these legs has a knee and a hip joint, allowing the robot to move in space and 5 in a certain place. Space Hopper is made for 6 small celestial bodies like asteroids and moons, where gravity is 7 or nonexistent. Researchers believe asteroids have 8 minerals that could help people in the future. Studying these small celestial bodies could also help us learn about 9 our universe was formed. Exploring these small celestial bodies is difficult 10 there is almost no gravity, which means spacecraft wheels can’t move on the surface 11 . There is also very little or no air to help a spacecraft 12 . To solve this problem, Space Hopper moves by jumping 13 using wheels. The researchers recently tested Space Hopper’s 14 to move in simulated low-gravity conditions. They recorded a 15 showing Space Hopper jumping forward with its legs in a graceful way.

Before the trip, Maya told me to 1 a small gift—she said it’s a common way to show kindness to hosts. I picked a box of Chinese tea, hoping her family would like it. When I arrived at Maya’s house, she greeted me with a “wai” (a traditional Thai greeting: pressing palms together). She taught me that the 2 of the hands shows respect: hands at chest level for friends, and higher for elders. I tried to make the 3 “wai” and Maya laughed, saying I did well. Maya’s mother led me into the living room and asked me to 4 my shoes at the door. “Shoes bring dirt indoors,” she explained. I 5 put my shoes next to others, and she gave me soft slippers. Then she offered me a glass of coconut water—cold and sweet, it was exactly what I needed on the hot day. At lunch, the table was full of dishes: green curry, pad thai, and fresh mango. Maya warned me not to 6 food with my left hand. “We use the left hand for unclean tasks,” she said quietly. I nodded and used my right hand to 7 some curry with rice. When Maya’s father asked if I wanted more, I said “yes” even though I was almost full—I didn’t want to 8 him by saying I’d had enough. After lunch, Maya took me to a nearby temple. She told me to 9 my shoulders and knees—temple rules require visitors to dress modestly. I borrowed a scarf from her to cover my knees. Inside the temple, we walked 10 —talking loudly is not allowed. I watched locals leave small flowers at the statue, and Maya said it’s their way to 11 their wishes. When I left in the evening, Maya’s family walked me to the door. I 12 goodbye and made a “wai” again. Maya smiled and said, “Remember, 13 small customs helps you get closer to people here.” Her words made me think: learning about other cultures isn’t just about 14 rules—it’s about understanding how people show care. This trip taught me that every culture has its own beauty. If we take time to notice and follow these small customs, we can 15 deeper connections with people around the world. 1.
