【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的待客之道,包括主人如何招待客人、餐桌礼仪以及热情好客作为中国文化传统的重要组成部分。
【详解】6.句意:中国人是世界上最好客的人之一。
固定搭配in the world意为“在世界上”,符合句意,应用in。
7.句意:如果外国人拜访一个中国家庭,他们会对受到的热情款待感到惊讶。
结合后文提到和西方餐桌习惯的差异,这里指“外国人拜访中国家庭”,foreigners符合语境;customers顾客、historians历史学家、reporters记者,都不符合文意。
8.句意:如果外国人拜访一个中国家庭,他们会对受到的热情款待感到惊讶。
固定搭配be surprised at表示“对……感到惊讶”,外国客人会对中国的热情招待感到惊讶,符合文意,应用surprised。
9.句意:当你拜访一个中国家庭时,主人通常会为你泡茶,并为你提供像饼干或糖果这样的小吃。
主人泡茶后,会用小吃招待客人,serve表示“招待,端上(食物)”,符合语境。puts放、packs打包、steals偷,都不符合逻辑。
10.句意:家里的某个人也会和你聊天,让你不觉得孤单。
有人陪客人聊天,是为了不让客人觉得孤单,lonely(孤单的)符合逻辑。excited兴奋的、happy高兴的、angry生气的,都不符合逻辑。
11.句意:同时,其他家庭成员会忙着为你准备一顿饭。
根据“a meal for you”及常识,客人来访需“准备”饭菜。prepare a meal为常用搭配,应用preparing。playing玩、giving给、buying买,不符合语境。
12.句意:中国人用一顿大餐招待客人。
前文提到准备饭菜,这里是“中国人用大餐招待客人”,a big meal(大餐)符合文意,应用meal。gift礼物、trip旅行、talk谈话,不符合语境。
13.句意:在桌子上,客人必须先吃。
中国餐桌礼仪中,客人是第一个动筷吃饭的,first(第一)符合礼仪习惯。
14.句意:也许最让西方客人惊讶的一件事是,中国主人喜欢为客人夹菜。
根据后半句“which doesn’t happen at western tables”可知,此处指“西方”客人,应用western。eastern东方的、southern南方的、northern北方的,与后文矛盾。
15.句意:中国家庭会尽一切努力让你感觉宾至如归。
固定搭配make sb feel at home表示“让某人感觉像在家一样自在”,符合中国人好客的特点,应用make。
16.句意:请多吃点。
根据“It seems that you didn’t eat much”可知,主人劝客人吃“更多”。food为不可数名词,用more。
17.句意:你告诉他们你吃饱了,但他们还是往你碗里放更多的食物。
根据“you are full”和“still put more food”可知,前后为转折关系,应用but。although虽然、because因为、so所以,逻辑不通。
18.句意:热情好客一直是中国文化和传统的重要组成部分。
固定搭配part of意为“……的一部分”,此处表示热情好客是中国文化传统的重要组成部分。character性格、life生活、food食物,不符合搭配习惯。
19.句意:正如孔子几千年前所说。
孔子是几千年前的人物,thousands of years ago表示“几千年以前”,符合常识,应用years。days天、months月、seasons季节,时间跨度不符。
20.句意:有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎!
这句话是“有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎”,enjoyable表示“令人愉快的”,符合句意。sad伤心的、afraid害怕的、scared惊恐的,情感色彩相反。

How often do you wash your hair? For 29-year-old Lan Jun, she washes her hair only once a month! But it is not because she is lazy—it’s because she is taking part in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race (克利伯环球帆船赛).

On Lan’s yacht, her team has a special plan. “We take turns working for 3 hours and then sleeping for 3 hours,” said Lan. “This also helps keep everyone safe because someone is always watching what’s going on.”
The race is dangerous. Sailors face big waves and strong winds. Sometimes it is 40℃ while sometimes it is -20℃. However, they never stop. “Winds can be a challenge, but sometimes they also help us speed (加速) up,” said Lan. “We are here to win, so we will keep moving forward no matter how hard it is.”

Maya was a young lady. She lived in a small village at the foot of a very high mountain. She often dreamed of reaching the top of the mountain. Every day, she looked up at the mountain, and imagined what it would be like to stand on its top and see the world from that height.
One day, Maya decided that it was time to make her dream come true. She packed a small bag and set off on her journey. Halfway up the mountain, Maya met a group of experienced climbers coming down. “Turn back,” they warned. “Climbing the mountain is so difficult, and the weather is getting worse. It’s not worth the risk.”
Though Maya felt tired and cold, she thanked the climbers for their care and decided to continue climbing. As she climbed higher, the air grew thinner. Every step became a struggle. But she didn’t give up. She knew that every step forward, no matter how small, brought her closer to her goal.
Finally, Maya reached the top. The scenery was more beautiful than she had ever imagined. Tears of joy filled her eyes. At that moment, Maya realized that climbing the mountain was not just about reaching the top; it was about discovering her own strength and ambition.
From that day on, Maya never doubted (怀疑) herself again. She faced each new challenge with the same determination and courage. She knew that she had the strength to climb any mountain, both in the world and within herself.

25.第二段中“Halfway up the mountain, Maya met a group of experienced climbers coming down.‘Turn back,’ they warned.”(在半山腰,Maya遇到一群经验丰富的登山者下来。“回去吧,”他们警告道)可知,她在登山途中被告知要折返。
26.第四段描述了Maya到达山顶后的情景及感悟。段末关键句“At that moment, Maya realized that climbing the mountain was not just about reaching the top; it was about discovering her own strength and ambition.”(那一刻,Maya意识到登山不仅仅是到达顶峰,更是发现自己的力量和雄心)表明,本段核心在于她领悟了登山的真正意义。
C
Guyu, the 6th solar term in the Chinese lunar year, comes between April 19 and 21 every year. Its name means “grain rain”, because the soft spring rain is quite helpful for the growth of crops. As the weather turns warmer and warmer, the rain makes the whole countryside green and lively, which plays a key role in the coming farming season.
For thousands of years, Chinese farmers have regarded Guyu as the best time for planting. They often move young rice seedlings to the wet fields, singing traditional folk songs to welcome the warm spring rain. People used to say, “Spring rain is as precious as oil.” Farmers believe the rain is a wonderful gift from nature for a good harvest. Without enough rain, the young crops would easily dry up in the sun. Near the sea, fishermen also keep their special Guyu traditions, praying for a good catch before they start their sailing.
When the rain stops, many families will walk to the green mountains to pick fresh tea leaves. Guyu tea is famous for its special taste, and people believe it can help cool the body on warm spring days. Some cheerful children run after butterflies among the tea plants, with their small baskets full of fresh green leaves.
Besides, Guyu is also the great time for peonies to bloom. Known as “the queen of flowers”, peonies turn the hillsides into pink, red and white. Local people always say, “Three days after Guyu, come to enjoy the peonies!” As spring is going to end and summer is coming near, Guyu makes us realize the importance of being thankful to nature. Every drop of rain and every blooming flower holds the hope of new life.
27.Why is Guyu an important solar term for farmers?
A.Because it marks the beginning of spring.
B.Because the spring rain helps crops grow well.
C.Because farmers can pick tea leaves at this time.
D.Because it is the best time to enjoy flowers.
28.The underlined word “seedlings” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A.young rice plants
B.small farming tools
C.traditional folk songs
D.heavy spring rains
29.What can we learn from the passage about Guyu?
A.Children run after butterflies to pick tea leaves.
B.Guyu tea can help cool the body, and peonies bloom in pink, red and white.
C.Peonies only bloom for three days after Guyu.
D.People must pick tea leaves before the rain stops.
30.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Summer is better than spring.
B.Peonies are the most beautiful flowers.
C.We should be thankful to nature for new life.
D.People should plant more trees after Guyu.
【答案】27.B 28.A 29.B 30.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了二十四节气中的“谷雨”及其对农业生产、采茶、赏花等传统习俗的重要意义。
【详解】27.第一段明确指出:“the soft spring rain is quite helpful for the growth of crops”以及“plays a key role in the coming farming season”,说明谷雨对农民重要是因为春雨有助于庄稼生长。
28.根据第二段第二句“They often move young rice seedlings to the wet fields...”可知,农民将年轻的水稻幼苗移到水田里,结合“young rice”(年轻的水稻)和“move...to fields”(移到田里)的语境,可推测“seedlings”意为“幼苗”。
29.根据第三段“people believe it can help cool the body”可知谷雨茶有助于身体降温;根据第四段“peonies turn the hillsides into pink, red and white”可知牡丹花开粉色、红色和白色。B选项表述与原文一致。
30.最后一段最后一句指出:“Guyu makes us realize the importance of being thankful to nature. Every drop of rain and every blooming flower holds the hope of new life.”,说明我们应该感恩自然带来的新生命。

After years of planning, the final group of villagers from Jigkyob village, one of the highest in Xizang, have recently completed their relocation (搬迁). Last week, 143 villagers moved from their high-altitude village 4,900 meters above sea level to a new home lower down. 36 . This change provides them with better public services and a brighter future.
37 . Jigkyob is the highest village in Lhaze county. People there make a living by farming animals and working in another place. Kelsang Gyatso, a leader of Jigkyob village, said “The high altitude (海拔), cold climate, and thin air are the most serious challenges for the villagers.” Besides, heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through. 38 .
This relocation project aims to provide more convenience to the community, allowing them to get important public services such as education and healthcare facilities (设施). 39 . Their houses have public services including water and electricity, and are connected to the network. They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities.
The relocation project was supported by Aid-Xizang teams from Shanghai. After over a year of hard work, the first step of the project has been completed. 40 . The new houses encourage the use of clean energy and treat environment-friendly projects as more important than other things.
“As a result, the quality of life and growth chances for the villagers are expected to be greatly improved,” Kelsang Gyatso said.
A.The development of the village faced many challenges before
B.New technology has been used in the project
C.The living conditions in the new place have improved
D.Their new home is at a height of 4,012 meters above sea level
E.As a result, the villagers are forced (逼迫) to travel on foot
F.So cutting down the use of cars can achieve (获得) environmental protection
【答案】36.D 37.A 38.E 39.C 40.B
【导语】本文讲述了西藏海拔最高村落之一吉久村的村民完成搬迁,从海拔4900米迁至海拔4012米的新家,介绍了搬迁的原因、项目意义及新生活的改善。
【详解】36.前文提到“moved from their high-altitude village 4,900 meters above sea level to a new home lower down”,后文提到“better public services”,此处应说明新家的海拔,选项D“Their new home is at a height of 4,012 meters above sea level”具体说明新家的海拔高度,与上文形成对比,衔接自然。
37.此空位于段首,后文开始介绍吉久村的高海拔、寒冷气候等挑战,选项A“The development of the village faced many challenges before”可作为本段主题句,引出下文。
38.前文“heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through”说明车辆无法通行导致的直接后果应该是村民只能步行出行,选项E“As a result, the villagers are forced (逼迫) to travel on foot”是交通困难的结果。
39.后文提到“Their houses have public services including water and electricity ... They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities.”,说明新地方的生活条件得到改善,选项C“The living conditions in the new place have improved”符合逻辑。
40.前文提到项目第一步已完成,后文提到“new houses encourage the use of clean energy”,选项B“New technology has been used in the project”对应清洁能源等环保措施,引出下文新家园的环保设计特点,符合逻辑。

Today, Mr. Green is a marine ecologist (海洋生态学家). He studies how underwater animals and plants connect with each other and need each other to stay a 58 .
Mr. Green studies coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the Pacific Ocean. A coral reef is like a big underwater t 59 . Thousands of animals and plants live there. They compete for food and space there. As a result, the beautiful coral reefs get injured e 60 .
Mr. Green also studies how people’s actions can change coral reefs. Sometimes people pollute the water or overfish, so the w 61 that all the living things are joined together has been changed. If coral reefs get hurt, many animals have to find new homes. Some animals’ n 62 become small, and some animals just disappear. Mr. Green wants to p 63 this from happening.
Mr. Green believes that all the living things in a coral reef should be k 64 safe. “Underwater ecosystems are like airplanes,” Mr. Green says. “They need all of their parts to work correctly. To take better care of marine homes, we first must k 65 them. Only through that can we understand the great influence humans have on these places.”

A.阅读并回答问题。(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means one who offers his or her services. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up rubbish from beaches or parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are usually people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may offer services to help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta.
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash the clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I had helped them. So, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I knew that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world,” said Tracy.

How often do you wash your hair? For 29-year-old Lan Jun, she washes her hair only once a month! But it is not because she is lazy—it’s because she is taking part in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race (克利伯环球帆船赛).
In this race, yachts travel 40,000 nautical miles (海里) around the world and cross five big oceans. The race has eight legs (赛程), and each leg continues for about a month. Lan is a sailor (水手) for the yacht Qingdao. She will join all eight legs of the 11-month journey around the world.

On Lan’s yacht, her team has a special plan. “We take turns working for 3 hours and then sleeping for 3 hours,” said Lan. “This also helps keep everyone safe because someone is always watching what’s going on.”
The race is dangerous. Sailors face big waves and strong winds. Sometimes it is 40℃ while sometimes it is -20℃. However, they never stop. “Winds can be a challenge, but sometimes they also help us speed (加速) up,” said Lan. “We are here to win, so we will keep moving forward no matter how hard it is.”

Maya was a young lady. She lived in a small village at the foot of a very high mountain. She often dreamed of reaching the top of the mountain. Every day, she looked up at the mountain, and imagined what it would be like to stand on its top and see the world from that height.
One day, Maya decided that it was time to make her dream come true. She packed a small bag and set off on her journey. Halfway up the mountain, Maya met a group of experienced climbers coming down. “Turn back,” they warned. “Climbing the mountain is so difficult, and the weather is getting worse. It’s not worth the risk.”
Though Maya felt tired and cold, she thanked the climbers for their care and decided to continue climbing. As she climbed higher, the air grew thinner. Every step became a struggle. But she didn’t give up. She knew that every step forward, no matter how small, brought her closer to her goal.
Finally, Maya reached the top. The scenery was more beautiful than she had ever imagined. Tears of joy filled her eyes. At that moment, Maya realized that climbing the mountain was not just about reaching the top; it was about discovering her own strength and ambition.
From that day on, Maya never doubted (怀疑) herself again. She faced each new challenge with the same determination and courage. She knew that she had the strength to climb any mountain, both in the world and within herself.

Guyu, the 6th solar term in the Chinese lunar year, comes between April 19 and 21 every year. Its name means “grain rain”, because the soft spring rain is quite helpful for the growth of crops. As the weather turns warmer and warmer, the rain makes the whole countryside green and lively, which plays a key role in the coming farming season.
For thousands of years, Chinese farmers have regarded Guyu as the best time for planting. They often move young rice seedlings to the wet fields, singing traditional folk songs to welcome the warm spring rain. People used to say, “Spring rain is as precious as oil.” Farmers believe the rain is a wonderful gift from nature for a good harvest. Without enough rain, the young crops would easily dry up in the sun. Near the sea, fishermen also keep their special Guyu traditions, praying for a good catch before they start their sailing.
When the rain stops, many families will walk to the green mountains to pick fresh tea leaves. Guyu tea is famous for its special taste, and people believe it can help cool the body on warm spring days. Some cheerful children run after butterflies among the tea plants, with their small baskets full of fresh green leaves.
Besides, Guyu is also the great time for peonies to bloom. Known as “the queen of flowers”, peonies turn the hillsides into pink, red and white. Local people always say, “Three days after Guyu, come to enjoy the peonies!” As spring is going to end and summer is coming near, Guyu makes us realize the importance of being thankful to nature. Every drop of rain and every blooming flower holds the hope of new life.
27.Why is Guyu an important solar term for farmers?
A.Because it marks the beginning of spring.
B.Because the spring rain helps crops grow well.
C.Because farmers can pick tea leaves at this time.
D.Because it is the best time to enjoy flowers.
28.The underlined word “seedlings” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A.young rice plants
B.small farming tools
C.traditional folk songs
D.heavy spring rains
29.What can we learn from the passage about Guyu?
A.Children run after butterflies to pick tea leaves.
B.Guyu tea can help cool the body, and peonies bloom in pink, red and white.
C.Peonies only bloom for three days after Guyu.
D.People must pick tea leaves before the rain stops.
30.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Summer is better than spring.
B.Peonies are the most beautiful flowers.
C.We should be thankful to nature for new life.
D.People should plant more trees after Guyu.

After years of planning, the final group of villagers from Jigkyob village, one of the highest in Xizang, have recently completed their relocation (搬迁). Last week, 143 villagers moved from their high-altitude village 4,900 meters above sea level to a new home lower down. 36 . This change provides them with better public services and a brighter future.
37 . Jigkyob is the highest village in Lhaze county. People there make a living by farming animals and working in another place. Kelsang Gyatso, a leader of Jigkyob village, said “The high altitude (海拔), cold climate, and thin air are the most serious challenges for the villagers.” Besides, heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through. 38 .
This relocation project aims to provide more convenience to the community, allowing them to get important public services such as education and healthcare facilities (设施). 39 . Their houses have public services including water and electricity, and are connected to the network. They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities.
The relocation project was supported by Aid-Xizang teams from Shanghai. After over a year of hard work, the first step of the project has been completed. 40 . The new houses encourage the use of clean energy and treat environment-friendly projects as more important than other things.
“As a result, the quality of life and growth chances for the villagers are expected to be greatly improved,” Kelsang Gyatso said.
A.The development of the village faced many challenges before
B.New technology has been used in the project
C.The living conditions in the new place have improved
D.Their new home is at a height of 4,012 meters above sea level
E.As a result, the villagers are forced (逼迫) to travel on foot

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may offer services to help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta.
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash the clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I had helped them. So, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I knew that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world,” said Tracy.
