Everyone will go through the process of growing up, which is full of both p 1 and gains. At the same time, we start to think about our future c 2 and what we want to be when we grow up.

Second, we need to learn more about different jobs. We can take part in career talks or talk to people with different working e 4 . This can help us know what a job really needs. Third, we should i 5 our own skills. Every career needs special skills, so we must study hard and practice more to make ourselves better.

He walked slowly along a narrow path, and soon the trees became taller and the air smelled fresher. He saw bright yellow flowers 2 in the grass and heard birds singing loudly in the branches. For the first time, he felt free and excited.
Suddenly, a soft cry caught his 3 . He followed the sound and found a baby squirrel stuck under a fallen branch.

Just then, a deer came to drink water. It looked at Luka calmly and didn’t run away. The squirrel told Luka that all animals in the forest lived in 6 if no one hurt them. Luka began to understand that his mom’s warning was only part of the story. As the sun started to go down, the sky turned pink and orange. It was the most beautiful 7 Luka had ever seen.

Passage 15
①Have you ever felt super sad or really angry and didn’t know what to do? Guess what? You don’t always have to talk about these negative feelings right away. Here are some other choices for you.
②Sometimes, stepping away helps. If thinking about a problem just makes you feel worse, take a break. Draw, read, or play outside. Coming back later with a fresh mind can make things feel smaller.
③Talking to a friend is good, but there’s a trick. First, share what happened. Then, let your friend help you see it differently. That’s more helpful than repeating how hurt you are.
④Places matter too. Think of a place that makes you feel calm—like a comfortable corner, a park bench, or grandma’s kitchen. Visiting your “happy place” can often help you calm down.
⑤There’s also a tip called WOPP to remind yourself to stay cool before you get too angry and do something you might later wish you didn’t do. Here’s an example.
Wish: “I want to stay calm when my brother upsets me.”
Outcome: “We can get along, and no one gets hurt or misunderstood.”
Problem: “I want to shout at him angrily.”

Passage 16
Do you compare yourself to others? Maybe your friend has something you want, or your brother or sister is allowed to do something you’re not. Although comparisons are natural and can sometimes be helpful, focusing too much on others can harm your happiness.
Dr. Jack says, “We often compare ourselves to people doing better or worse than us. But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of your progress and excited for what’s ahead. Focusing on your own goals is better than always trying to beat others.”
Comparing yourself to others can help you see your own achievements and find friends with similar interests. However, remember that no one is perfect. Pay attention to how comparing makes you feel. “If you start feeling low, focus on your own strengths,” Jack adds. Ask yourself, “What am I good at?”—this can build self-confidence.
You might ask, “What if all my friends are better than me?” According to Dr. White, feeling jealous (妒忌的) is not always bad. Instead, focus on improving your own work. Learning to celebrate your friends’ success can not only make them happy but also help you feel positive. It encourages everyone to support each other.
1. What is the main suggestion in Paragraph 1?
A.We should compare with others.
B.We should share things with our brothers.
C.We should focus more on ourselves.
D.We should avoid all comparisons.
2. Why does Dr. Jack suggest comparing yourself to your past self?
A.To care more about others.
B.To be proud of what you’ve achieved.
C.To change your future goals.
D.To compete with better people.
3. What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.What you’re good at.
B.What you’ve experienced.
C.What you’re crazy about.
D.What you don’t understand.
4. What does Dr. White recommend if you feel jealous?
A.Trusting your friends completely.
B.Celebrating others’ success.

5. Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Plan Your Own Future

Passage 19
Wetlands are often called the “kidneys of the Earth”. They are important natural areas that provide homes for many plants and animals. Wetlands can also store water, prevent floods, and clean the water that flows through them.

In China, there are many important wetlands. For example, the Zhalong Wetland in Heilongjiang is a home for more than 200 kinds of birds, including red-crowned cranes. Every year, thousands of tourists go there to watch the birds. To protect wetlands, the Chinese government has set up many nature reserves. People are also encouraged to help protect wetlands by not throwing rubbish into them and planting more trees around them.

【详解】1. 句意:珠穆朗玛峰的顶峰似乎就在触手可及之处。根据首字母及“within r...”可知,within reach“在可及的范围内”是介词短语,表示距离很近,reach“可及的范围”符合语境。故填reach。

They are about 4 and 1,240 metres wide.
The Niagara Falls has three special falls. The tallest are the American and Bridal Veil Falls on the American side. The falls are colourfully lit up 5 night, and many people say they’re even more beautiful in winter, when the ground is covered with snow and water turns to 6 .
Most visitors go as 7 to the falls as possible, and watch the waters thundering down. The Niagara Falls 8 the waterfalls in mountains, where a thin stream of water comes down a mountainside, half-flying.
Above in the air, you will understand the real difference between the American and 9 Falls. The American Falls only gets about 10% of the water, while the Canadian Falls gets about 10 .

【导语】本文介绍了世界自然奇观之一——尼亚加拉大瀑布的地理位置、组成部分、特色景观以及美国瀑布与加拿大瀑布的水量差异。
【详解】1. 句意:现在让我告诉你一些关于尼亚加拉瀑布的事情,它是世界自然奇观之一。
根据常识,尼亚加拉瀑布是著名的自然景观,natural意为“自然的”,符合语境。modern意为“现代的”,ancient意为“古代的”,wonderful意为“美妙的”,均不符合语境。
2. 句意:它们位于加拿大和美国之间。
根据后文提到“the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, and the American Falls on the United States’ side”可知,瀑布位于两国交界处,表示“在两者之间”应用between。among意为“在……之中(三者或以上)”,with意为“和”,across意为“穿过”,均不符合语境。
3. 句意:尼亚加拉瀑布有两个部分:加拿大一侧的马蹄瀑布和美国一侧的美国瀑布。
根据后文明确列出了两个部分(the Horseshoe Falls和the American Falls)可知,尼亚加拉瀑布由两部分组成。因此,two意为“两个”,符合语境。three意为“三个”,five意为“五个”,four意为“四个”,均不符合语境。
4. 句意:它们大约50米高,1240米宽。
根据原文“about ...and 1,240 metres wide”可知,此处应描述瀑布的高度。表示“50米高”的正确表达为“50 metres high”,metre应用复数形式metres。50 metre high(名词单数形式错误),50-metre-high(复合形容词形式,但此处作表语而非定语),50-metres-high(复合形容词中名词不用复数),均不符合语境。
5. 句意:瀑布在夜晚被彩灯照亮,许多人说冬天瀑布更美,那时大地被雪覆盖,水变成了冰。
根据固定搭配“at night”意为“在夜晚”。on意为“在……上面”,in意为“在……里面”,for意为“为了”,均不能与night构成此搭配。
6. 句意:许多人说冬天瀑布更美,那时大地被雪覆盖,水变成了冰。
根据前文“when the ground is covered with snow”以及冬季气温低可知,水会结冰。因此,ice意为“冰”,符合语境。rain意为“雨”,snow意为“雪”,wind意为“风”,均不符合语境。
7. 句意:大多数游客尽可能地走近瀑布,看着水轰鸣而下。
根据“as ... as possible”中间应用形容词或副词原级,且此处修饰动词go,表示“靠近地”应用副词close。closely意为“密切地、仔细地”,more closely为比较级,closer为比较级,均不符合“as ... as possible”结构中对原级的要求。
8. 句意:尼亚加拉瀑布不同于山中的瀑布,在那里一股细流从山腰飞流而下。
根据后文描述山中瀑布是“a thin stream of water”而尼亚加拉瀑布水量巨大可知,二者是不同的。因此,is different from意为“与……不同”,符合语境。is the same as意为“与……相同”,is just like意为“就像”,is similar to意为“与……相似”,均不符合语境。
9. 句意:在空中,你会真正理解美国瀑布和加拿大瀑布之间的区别。
根据后文“The American Falls only gets about 10% of the water, while the Canadian Falls...”可知,此处对比的是美国瀑布和加拿大瀑布。因此,Canadian意为“加拿大的”,符合语境。the United States意为“美国”,the United Kingdom意为“英国”,Chinese意为“中国的”,均不符合语境。
10. 句意:美国瀑布只获得大约10%的水量,而加拿大瀑布获得大约90%。
根据前文提到美国瀑布只占10%,且加拿大瀑布与美国瀑布构成对比,两者水量总和应为100%,因此加拿大瀑布约占90%。100%与10%不能构成合理分配,80%和70%均与90%不符,因此90%符合语境。
Passage 11
Once upon a time, there was a little fox named Luka who lived in a small hole at the edge of the forest. He had never gone deep into the forest because his mom always warned him about the hidden dangers. But one warm spring day, he felt 1 of staying in the hole and decided to take a risk.
He walked slowly along a narrow path, and soon the trees became taller and the air smelled fresher. He saw bright yellow flowers 2 in the grass and heard birds singing loudly in the branches. For the first time, he felt free and excited.
Suddenly, a soft cry caught his 3 . He followed the sound and found a baby squirrel stuck under a fallen branch. Luka tried his best to move the branch and helped the little squirrel get out. “Thank you so much!” the squirrel said happily. “I know a secret place in the forest—let me take you there to say thanks.”
They walked for about ten minutes and arrived at a clear lake. The water was so 4 that Luka could see small fish swimming around the stones. Dragonflies flew above the water, and frogs jumped from lily pad to lily pad. Luka sat down by the lake and felt very 5 .
Just then, a deer came to drink water. It looked at Luka calmly and didn’t run away. The squirrel told Luka that all animals in the forest lived in 6 if no one hurt them. Luka began to understand that his mom’s warning was only part of the story. As the sun started to go down, the sky turned pink and orange. It was the most beautiful 7 Luka had ever seen.
When Luka got home, his mom was waiting for him, looking worried. But when Luka told her about his 8 in the forest, she smiled and said, “I’m glad you saw the other side of the forest. It’s a place of both danger and 9 . We just need to respect it.”
From then on, Luka often went into the forest. He made many friends with other animals and learned how to live in 10 with nature. He knew that the forest was his most precious home.

【详解】1. 句意:但一个温暖的春日,他厌倦了待在洞里,决定冒险一试。
结合后文“决定冒险”可知,此处表达厌烦的情绪,tired意为“厌倦的,厌烦的”,符合语境。afraid意为“害怕的”,fond意为“喜欢的”,proud意为“骄傲的”,均不能表达决定冒险前的厌倦心态。
2. 句意:他看到明亮的黄色花朵在草丛中生长,听到鸟儿在枝头大声歌唱。
花朵是在草丛中自然生长的状态。growing意为“生长”,符合语境。dying意为“枯萎”,falling意为“掉落”,hiding意为“躲藏”,均不能表达生机勃勃的画面。
3. 句意:突然,一声轻柔的哭声传入他的耳中。
传来的是哭声,属于声音,吸引了小狐狸的听觉,因此选ear(耳朵)。
4. 句意:湖水如此清澈,Luka能看到小鱼在石头周围游来游去。
能清楚看到石头旁游的小鱼,说明湖水十分清澈,clear(清澈的)符合逻辑。
5. 句意:Luka在湖边坐下,感到非常开心。
前文他发现了美丽的湖泊和接下来动物们和谐相处的场景可知,此刻他的心情是愉悦的。happy意为“开心的”,符合语境。worried意为“担心的”,bored意为“无聊的”,lonely意为“孤独的”,均与湖边美景和友好氛围不符。
6. 句意:松鼠告诉卢卡,如果没有人伤害它们,森林里的所有动物都和平共处。
在不受伤害的前提下,动物们是和平相处的状态。peace意为“和平,安宁”,符合语境。trouble意为“麻烦”,danger意为“危险”,fear意为“恐惧”,均与“不受伤害”这一前提条件不匹配。
7. 句意:那是Luka见过的最美的日落。
太阳下山、天空变成粉橙色,这正是一次日落的美景。sunset意为“日落”,符合语境。sunrise意为“日出”,rainstorm意为“暴雨”,snowfall意为“降雪”,均与太阳下山和粉橙色天空不符。
8. 句意:当Luka告诉她自己在森林里的经历时,她微笑着说“我很高兴你看到了森林的另一面。
根据前文Luka向妈妈讲述他的所见所闻可知,他讲述的是自己一天的经历。experiences意为“经历,体验”,符合语境。changes意为“变化”,dreams意为“梦想”,mistakes意为“错误”,均不能概括他一天的所见所闻所感。
9. 句意:这个地方既有危险,也有美丽。
根据and并列结构可知,此处需要一个与danger形成对比的正面名词。妈妈之前只警告过危险,而Luka这次发现了森林的另一面——美丽。beauty意为“美丽”,符合语境。sadness意为“悲伤”,surprise意为“惊讶”,silence意为“寂静”,均不能与danger形成鲜明对比。
10. 句意:他交了很多动物朋友,并学会了如何与自然和谐相处。
根据固定搭配live in harmony with nature,意为“与自然和谐共处”。harmony意为“和谐”,符合语境。harm意为“伤害”,fight意为“争斗”,competition意为“竞争”,均不能表达与自然共存的积极关系。

【详解】1. 句意:它名字里的“黄”来自泥和沙。
根据后文“About ninety per cent of the mud and sand”,可知黄河的“黄”来自泥沙,应选用sand,与 mud 并列,解释名称由来;water“水”、fish“鱼”、grass“草”均与“黄”的成因无关。
2. 句意:黄河中约90%的泥沙来自黄土高原。
根据语境,黄河中90%的泥沙来自黄土高原,应选用“comes from”,表示来源;“turns into”意为“变成”、“gets across”意为“穿过”、“looks for”意为“寻找”,均与泥沙来源的语境不符。
3. 句意:大量泥沙流入黄河,因为雨水容易冲走黄土。
根据前后句逻辑,大量泥沙进入黄河,因为雨水容易冲刷黄土高原,应选用because,引导原因状语从句;if“如果”、until“直到”、although“虽然”,均无法体现因果关系。
4. 句意:它自西向东流经九个省份,最后流入渤海。
根据黄河流程,它自西向东流经九省,最终注入渤海,应选用finally,表示流程的终点;simply“简单地”、really“真正地”、brightly“明亮地”,均与流程逻辑无关。
5. 句意:它的流域面积约为752443平方公里。
根据地理常识,黄河流域覆盖约752443平方公里,应选用covers,表示面积范围;moves“移动”、remains“保持”、needs“需要”,均无法与area搭配表示面积。
6. 句意:它是中国的一个自然奇观。

【导语】本文属于记叙文(故事介绍类),以动画电影《青春变形记》为叙述主体,讲述主角李美玲的情绪困扰、变身设定与交友经历,最后提炼影片传递的接纳自我、正视负面情绪的主旨思想。
【详解】1. 句意:但加拿大华裔少女李美玲心情不好时会变成一只大红熊猫。
根据turn into“变成”为固定搭配,且电影名为Turning Red,可知此处应填turns。gets“得到”、falls“落下”无此搭配;becomes后面直接接名词,不能加into。
2. 句意:美玲是一名全优生,但她生活中依然有一些烦恼。
根据“but”表转折,全优学生对应生活仍有“麻烦”,可知此处应填trouble。magic“魔力”、questions“问题,侧重疑问”、knowledge“知识”均不符。
3. 句意:她的虎妈总是对她很严格,她一直压力很大。
根据strict with her“对她严格”,可知她会感到stressed“有压力的”。bored“无聊的”、lonely“孤单的”、relaxed“放松的”不符。
4. 句意:她不知道自己该说出来,还是把情绪藏在心里,因为害怕说错话。
根据keep...to oneself“保守秘密/藏在心里”为固定搭配,与“speak up”形成对比,可知此处应填keep。share“分享”、explain“解释”、express“表达”和后文“害怕说错”逻辑相反。
5. 句意:后来她发现,实际上当她发怒时,自己就会变成一只大红熊猫。
根据语境强调变熊猫这一事实的真实性,可知此处应填actually。especially侧重对比强调“尤其”,seriously严重地、really真正地贴合度弱于actually。
6. 句意:幸运的是美玲有朋友,她经常向她们求助。
根据turn to sb. for help“向某人求助”为固定搭配,可知此处应填to。根据语境,其他介词无法构成求助搭配。
7. 句意:成长过程中,她们每个人都面临着属于自己的问题。
根据their own problems“他们自己的问题”符合语境,可知此处应填own。根据语境,此处强调每个人各自的问题,而非他人问题。friends“朋友”、parents“父母”、partners“搭档”语义不通。
8. 句意:凭借她们新出现的能力,这群女孩携手靠自己解决各种各样的难题。
根据主语“this group”视为复数they,反身代词应用themselves,可知此处应填themselves。根据语境,人称需保持一致,其他选项人称不符。himself他自己、ourselves我们自己、herself她自己,人称不匹配。
9. 句意:这部电影告诉我们,不必为了当一个乖巧女孩而压抑自己的负面情绪。
根据语境指不要压抑或排斥情绪,可知此处应填push away。go away离开、give away赠送/泄露、give in屈服,语义不符。
10. 句意:坦然感受自己的情绪,并且记住我们真实的自我。
根据who we are“我们是谁”指代身份认同,可知此处应填who。where表地点、how表方式、that无实义,均不合适。
Passage 9
你知道什么成就一支优秀的团队吗?
Once there was a group of forest animals who wanted to join the annual football game. Rabbit, Deer, Squirrel, Badger and Fox decided to form a team. At first, each of them thought they were the best. Rabbit said he could run the fastest, so he should take all the shots. Deer thought he was tall, so he should 1 all the passes. Squirrel wanted to control the ball all the time, and Badger got angry easily when others made mistakes. Fox just stood aside, not willing to 2 in any practice.
Their first practice was a mess. They didn’t pass the ball to each other, and they lost every mini game against a small team of mice. An old Owl watched them from a tree and said, “A great team doesn’t need the best players, but players who 3 each other and work as one.” The animals felt ashamed. They decided to change.
Next practice, Rabbit 4 to pass the ball to Deer when Deer was in a better position near the goal. Squirrel stopped keeping the ball to himself and shared it with others quickly. Badger learned to stay calm and 5 his teammates instead of shouting at them when they made errors. Fox started to take part in every practice, using his cleverness to 6 good plans for the team.
When the game came, they worked together perfectly. Rabbit ran fast to create chances, Deer caught the high passes and scored two goals, Squirrel moved quickly to pass the ball to the right person, Badger protected their goal 7 , and Fox told them when to attack and when to defend. They scored four goals and won the game against a strong team of wolves!
After the game, they sat together under the tree. Rabbit said, “I used to think speed was everything, but now I know passing is more important.” Deer nodded, “I learned that listening to others helps us win.” The old Owl smiled and said, “You see? The 8 of a great team is cooperation. No one can win alone.”
From then on, the animals became the best team in the forest. They always remembered that to build a great team, everyone must 9 their own ego and work for the team’s success. And every year, they won the football game, not because they were the strongest, but because they were the most 10 .

【导语】本文讲述森林动物组建足球队,起初因自私屡败,后听从猫头鹰建议学会合作,最终赢得比赛,强调了团队合作的重要性。
【详解】1. 句意:鹿觉得他高,所以应该接住所有传球。
根据前文“Deer thought he was tall”可知,鹿认为自己个子高,适合接球,应用catch。miss“错过”、reject“拒绝”、drop“丢下”均不符。
2. 句意:狐狸站在一旁,不愿参加任何练习。
前文描述其他动物都想表现自己,狐狸“stood aside”且后文说后来他开始参加训练,说明起初不愿意“参加”。take part in“参加”符合语境。give up“放弃”、stand out“突出”、show off“炫耀”均不符。
3. 句意:伟大的团队不需要最好的球员,而是需要互相关心且齐心协力的球员。
根据“work as one”(齐心协力),可知队员间需要互相关爱。care about each other“互相关心”符合语境。compete with“与……竞争”、look down on“轻视”、argue with“与……争吵”均不符。
4. 句意:下一次训练中,兔子尝试在鹿处于更好位置时把球传给他。
根据前文“They decided to change”可知,兔子开始改变,尝试传球,应用tried。refused“拒绝”与改变矛盾,continued“继续”、failed“失败”均不符。
5. 句意:獾学会了保持冷静,在队友犯错时为他们加油而不是对他们大喊。

6. 句意:狐狸用他的聪明为团队制定好计划。
根据“using his cleverness”及“good plans”可知,狐狸用智慧创造计划,应用create。follow“跟随”、break“打破”、change“改变”均不符。

根据前文“Badger protected their goal”可知,守门需要认真,应用carefully。carelessly“粗心地”与protect矛盾,happily“高兴地”、angrily“生气地”不修饰防守动作。
8. 句意:你们看到了吗?伟大团队的秘诀是合作。
根据猫头鹰总结全文的语气及后文“No one can win alone”可知,此处揭示核心道理,应用secret“秘诀”。problem“问题”、result“结果”、reason“原因”均不如secret贴切。
9. 句意:要建立伟大的团队,每个人必须收起自己的自我意识,为团队成功努力。
根据句意,要放下个人自我,应用put away“收起、放下”。put up“张贴”、put on“穿上”、put off“推迟”均不符。
10. 句意:他们每年都赢得比赛,不是因为他们最强,而是因为他们最团结。
根据全文主题“cooperation”及“not because they were the strongest, but because... ”可知,此处强调团结,应用united。talented“有才华的”、hard-working“努力的”、famous“著名的”均偏离主题。
Passage 10
Last weekend, our school organized a volunteer activity to clean up the city park. All Grade 8 students took part in it. We met at the school gate at 8:00 a.m. and walked to the park together, singing and laughing along the way.
When we arrived, we were surprised to see how dirty the park was. Plastic bags, glass bottles and waste paper were everywhere. Our teacher divided us into four groups. I was in Group 3 with my best friend Amy. Our task was to 1 the rubbish near the small lake.
We started to work immediately. Amy brought a big blue bag, and I used long tongs to pick up the rubbish. It was not easy, especially when we found smelly food waste. But we didn’t give up. After an hour, our bag was 2 full.
Just then, a little boy in a red cap came over and asked, “Can I help you?” We were happy to let him join us. He picked up small paper pieces carefully with his hands. Soon, more kids from the nearby community came to 3 our group.
While we worked, some passers-by stopped to watch. A few even joined in and helped us. We felt really 4 that people were willing to help too.
By noon, the park looked much cleaner and more beautiful. We were all tired but 5 . Our teacher took a photo of us standing in front of the clean lake. We all smiled proudly.
Before leaving, we put up colorful signs that said “No Littering-Keep Our Park Clean” around the park. We hoped these signs would 6 people to take care of the park.
On our way back to school, we talked excitedly about the activity. Amy said, “This is the most meaningful weekend I’ve ever had.” I agreed. Helping keep our city clean is our 7 .
That night, I wrote in my diary: “Today I learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. I will join more volunteer activities in the future to 8 others.”
A week later, we got a letter from the community. It said that more people had started to keep the park clean after our activity. We felt even more 9 and decided to organize another volunteer activity next month.
Volunteering has become an important part of my life. It not only helps others but also makes me feel 10 about myself.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和同学们参加志愿者活动清理城市公园,并感染他人共同爱护环境的经历。
【详解】1. 句意:我们的任务是捡起小湖附近的垃圾。
根据“clean up the city park”及上下文清洁公园的语境,可知任务是捡垃圾,pick up“捡起”符合语境。throw away“扔掉”是捡起后的处理动作,look for“寻找”、give up“放弃”与清洁目的无关。
2. 句意:一小时后,我们的袋子几乎满了。
根据“After an hour”及努力劳动的语境,可知袋子快满了,almost“几乎”符合语境。hardly“几乎不”、never“从不”表否定含义,only“仅仅”表限制,均不符合劳动成果。
3. 句意:很快,更多社区孩子来加入我们组。
根据前文小男孩问“Can I help you?”及帮忙的语境,可知是加入队伍,join“加入”符合语境。leave“离开”;stop“停止”;lead“领导”与共同帮忙的语境相反。
4. 句意:人们愿意帮忙,我们感到高兴。
根据前文“We were happy”及志愿活动获得支持的积极氛围,可知是高兴glad。sad“伤心”;angry“生气”为消极情绪;surprised“惊讶”不符合主旨。
5. 句意:我们都累但很快乐。
根据“tired but”表转折及公园变干净的成果,可知是快乐happy。bored“无聊”;sleepy“困倦”;worried“担心”均为消极或与成果无关的情绪。
6. 句意:我们希望这些标志能鼓励人们爱护公园。
根据志愿者希望传播正能量的积极初衷,可知是encourage“鼓励”。warn“警告”语气过重,force“强迫”不现实,allow“允许”逻辑不通。
7. 句意:保持城市清洁是我们的责任。
根据公民义务及文章升华主题语境,可知是责任duty。hobby“爱好”;dream“梦想”;plan“计划”不符合保持环境清洁的义务性质。
8. 句意:我将会未来参加更多活动去帮助他人。
根据“volunteer activities”志愿者活动的核心目的,可知是帮助,help“帮助”符合语境。thank“感谢”;teach“教”;visit“拜访”非志愿者活动的主要目的。
9. 句意:得知公园变干净,我们更自豪。
根据收到社区来信认可成果可知是自豪proud。“tired”是身体状态,“紧张”;“害羞”情绪与获得认可不符。
10. 句意:这不仅帮助了别人,也让我自我感觉良好。
根据“feel good about oneself”固定搭配及volunteering的积极意义,可知是好,good“好的”符合语境。sad“伤心”;worried“担心”;lazy“懒惰”均为消极形容词,不符合语境。

【导语】本文讲述了作者成长过程中梦想的变化,以及为实现记者梦付出努力、克服困难并收获成长的故事,传递了成长中的每一份付出都会转化为珍贵收获的道理。
【详解】1. 句意:成长是一段既有痛苦也有收获的旅程,也是我们开始思考未来职业的时期。每个人都有自己理想的工作,要实现它需要付出努力。
根据后文“Everyone has their own dream job”可知,此处与未来的工作、职业规划相关,应选用career。 hobby侧重个人兴趣,而非与未来工作相关的职业规划。
2. 句意:随着我长大,我的梦想发生了一点变化。现在我想成为一名记者,因为我喜欢写作,希望给人们讲述真实的故事,我认为这是一份能对世界产生影响的很棒的工作。
根据前文“小时候想当老师”和后文“现在想当记者”的对比可知,此处表示梦想发生了改变,应选用changed。happened侧重事情的发生,不体现前后的变化过程。
3. 句意:随着我长大,我的梦想发生了一点变化。现在我想成为一名记者,因为我喜欢写作,希望给人们讲述真实的故事,我认为这是一份能对世界产生影响的很棒的工作。
根据后文“that can make a difference to the world”可知,作者对这份工作持积极认可的态度,应选用great。boring、busy、noisy均为负面或中性描述,与作者的正面评价不符。
4. 句意:为了实现这个梦想,我尽力克服成长中的痛苦。我需要提升我的写作技能。
根据前文“为了实现当记者的梦想”可知,作者需要主动提升写作能力,应选用improve。forget、lose、show均不符合为实现梦想而努力的语境。
5. 句意:我每天坚持写作,从不放弃,即使我写得不好,我的语文老师也总是鼓励我。
根据前文“keep writing every day”和后文“even when I can’t write well”可知,此处表示面对困难不放弃,应选用give up。wake up、stand up、get up均与坚持写作的语境无关。
6. 句意:此外,我参加更多的学校活动来变得更自信,这对一名记者来说是必要的。
根据后文“become more confident and learned that success doesn't come easily”可知,参加学校活动能让作者变得更自信,应选用more confident。shyer、quieter、more beautiful均不符合记者所需的职业素养语境。
7. 句意:通过这些努力,我收获了很大的成长:变得更自信,也明白了成功来之不易。
根据后文冒号后的积极内容和文章开头“Growing up is a journey with both pains and gains”可知,此处指努力带来的收获,应选用gains。pains、worries、problems均与冒号后的积极结果不符。
8. 句意:上个月,我参加了一场市级写作比赛并获得了二等奖。

三、阅读理解:
Passage 15
①Have you ever felt super sad or really angry and didn’t know what to do? Guess what? You don’t always have to talk about these negative feelings right away. Here are some other choices for you.
②Sometimes, stepping away helps. If thinking about a problem just makes you feel worse, take a break. Draw, read, or play outside. Coming back later with a fresh mind can make things feel smaller.
③Talking to a friend is good, but there’s a trick. First, share what happened. Then, let your friend help you see it differently. That’s more helpful than repeating how hurt you are.
④Places matter too. Think of a place that makes you feel calm—like a comfortable corner, a park bench, or grandma’s kitchen. Visiting your “happy place” can often help you calm down.
⑤There’s also a tip called WOPP to remind yourself to stay cool before you get too angry and do something you might later wish you didn’t do. Here’s an example.
Wish: “I want to stay calm when my brother upsets me.”
Outcome: “We can get along, and no one gets hurt or misunderstood.”
Problem: “I want to shout at him angrily.”
Plan: “If I want to shout at him, I’ll take five deep breaths instead.”
⑥You can create your own WOPP. All feelings are okay. You get to choose what to do with them!
1. How does the writer start the passage?
A.By raising questions. B.By giving examples. C.By making a comparison.
2. Which place might best help deal with bad feelings?
A.A noisy restaurant. B.A favorite coffee house. C.A room full of friends.
3. What does the underlined word “Outcome” mean?
A.Beginning. B.Result. C.Reasons
4. Where can we see the passage probably?
A.On a notice board. B.On a health guide. C.On a menu.
5. Which of the following might be a Plan in a WOPP?
A.I want to say hurtful things to my friend.
B.I wish to get on well with my brother even after he breaks my favourite cup.
C.If I want to say something hurtful to him, I’ll count from 1 to 100 instead.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. B 5. C
【导语】本文主要讲述处理负面情绪的几种方法,包括暂时离开、与朋友沟通、寻找“快乐的地方”以及使用WOPP技巧。
【详解】1. 第一段“Have you ever felt super sad or really angry and didn’t know what to do?”,作者用“提问”的方式引入话题。
2. 第四段“Think of a place that makes you feel calm—like a comfortable corner, a park bench, or grandma’s kitchen. Visiting your ‘happy place’ can often help you calm down.”并结合所给选项,只有B项“一家最喜欢的咖啡馆”最接近“让你感到平静的地方”。
3. 上文提到“Wish”,表达目标或愿望;下文提到“我们可以和睦相处,没有人受伤或被误解”,这是希望的一个理想“结果”。所以这里的outcome意为“结果”。
4. 第一段最后两句“You don’t always have to talk about these negative feelings right away. Here are some other choices for you.”,文章讲的是如何处理负面情绪(心理健康),属于“健康指南”类内容。
5. 第五段“Plan: ‘If I want to shout at him, I’ll take five deep breaths instead.’”,WOPP的一个plan是“如果我想朝他喊叫,我就深呼吸五次来代替。”,它的关键是用一个积极行为替代负面行为,选项C“如果我想对他说一些伤人的话,我就从1数到100来代替。”符合这一计划说明。

Passage 18
Helping Others, Changing Yourself

Passage 16
Do you compare yourself to others? Maybe your friend has something you want, or your brother or sister is allowed to do something you’re not. Although comparisons are natural and can sometimes be helpful, focusing too much on others can harm your happiness.
Dr. Jack says, “We often compare ourselves to people doing better or worse than us. But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of your progress and excited for what’s ahead. Focusing on your own goals is better than always trying to beat others.”
Comparing yourself to others can help you see your own achievements and find friends with similar interests. However, remember that no one is perfect. Pay attention to how comparing makes you feel. “If you start feeling low, focus on your own strengths,” Jack adds. Ask yourself, “What am I good at?”—this can build self-confidence.
You might ask, “What if all my friends are better than me?” According to Dr. White, feeling jealous (妒忌的) is not always bad. Instead, focus on improving your own work. Learning to celebrate your friends’ success can not only make them happy but also help you feel positive. It encourages everyone to support each other.
1. What is the main suggestion in Paragraph 1?
A.We should compare with others.
B.We should share things with our brothers.
C.We should focus more on ourselves.
D.We should avoid all comparisons.
2. Why does Dr. Jack suggest comparing yourself to your past self?
A.To care more about others.
B.To be proud of what you’ve achieved.
C.To change your future goals.
D.To compete with better people.
3. What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.What you’re good at.
B.What you’ve experienced.
C.What you’re crazy about.
D.What you don’t understand.
4. What does Dr. White recommend if you feel jealous?
A.Trusting your friends completely.
B.Celebrating others’ success.
C.Making more new friends.
D.Forgetting your own feelings.
5. Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Plan Your Own Future
B.Enjoy Your Own Happiness
C.Run Your Own Race
D.Follow Your Own Dream
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B 5. C
【导语】本文主要讲述了如何健康地看待和进行自我比较,核心倡导人们专注自身成长而非盲目和他人比较。
【详解】1. 第一段最后明确提到“Although comparisons are natural and can sometimes be helpful, focusing too much on others can harm your happiness.”说明过度关注别人有害,核心建议是多关注我们自己。
2. 第二段提到“But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self.”说明和过去或未来的自己比较,意思是能让你为自己取得的进步感到骄傲。
3. 划线短语后紧跟解释:感到低落时问自己“我擅长什么?”,这能建立自信。因此“your own strengths”就是“你自己擅长的事”。
4. 最后一段Dr. White的观点提到,感到妒忌时,“Learning to celebrate your friends’ success…help you feel positive”,也就是建议学会庆祝他人的成功。
5. 全文核心观点是:不要总和他人比较,要专注自己的成长和目标,做好自己。Run Your Own Race“按自己的步调前行”最贴合这个核心。
Passage 19
Wetlands are often called the “kidneys of the Earth”. They are important natural areas that provide homes for many plants and animals. Wetlands can also store water, prevent floods, and clean the water that flows through them.

In China, there are many important wetlands. For example, the Zhalong Wetland in Heilongjiang is a home for more than 200 kinds of birds, including red-crowned cranes. Every year, thousands of tourists go there to watch the birds. To protect wetlands, the Chinese government has set up many nature reserves. People are also encouraged to help protect wetlands by not throwing rubbish into them and planting more trees around them.

【详解】1. 句意:一天,她年迈的邻居陈太太请她提一个沉重的袋子。“ask sb. to do sth.”为固定搭配,意思是“要求某人做某事”,所以“her elderly neighbour Mrs Chen asked her”后接“to carry”,表示陈太太让她提重物。

3. 句意:他开始观看新闻是如何制作的。watch意为“观看”,是动词。start doing sth.是固定短语,意为“开始做某事”,此处用动名词watching。
4. 句意:他发现自己很享受这种忙碌的氛围。enjoy意为“喜欢;享受”,是动词。find oneself doing sth.是固定短语,意为“发现自己正在做某事/处于某种状态”,因此,此处用动名词enjoying。
5. 句意:他的叔叔告诉他:“如果你想成为一名记者,你必须学会写好文,并说得清晰。” “you must learn to write well and speak clearly”是“you want to be a reporter”的条件,此处用if“如果”引导的条件状语从句,句首单词的首字母大写。
6. 句意:张鹏一直思考着那些话。think about意为“考虑;思考”,是固定短语,think是动词。keep doing sth.是固定短语,意为“持续做某事;一直做某事”,因此,此处用think的动名词形式thinking。
7. 句意:他告诉自己他想要试一试。he意为“他”,是人称代词主格,根据句意和主语He,可知此处用he的反身代词himself符合语境,意为“他自己”。
8. 句意:现在,他每周练习写新闻报道。write意为“写”,是动词。practice doing sth.是固定短语,意为“练习做某事”,因此,此处用write的动名词形式writing。
9. 句意:我已经找到了我的兴趣。find意为“找到”,是动词,already“已经”是现在完成时的标志词,现在完成时的结构为“have/has+动词的过去分词” ,主语是I,助动词用have,find的过去分词是found。
10. 句意:他相信每个人都有一项特殊的天赋。have意为“有”,是动词。句子是宾语从句,主句是一般现在时,从句根据语境选择适当的时态,句子陈述的是实际情况,用一般现在时,主语everyone是不定代词,谓语动词用第三人称单数,have的第三人称单数是has。

【答案】参考范文
Learn to Help Out at Home
As teenagers, it’s very important for us to learn to help out at home and do some housework. There are many reasons for this. First, doing housework can make us more independent. We can learn to look after ourselves and won’t depend on our parents too much. Second, our parents are busy with work every day and they are tired after work. Helping them with housework can make them feel relaxed and warm. Third, doing housework is also a kind of exercise, which is good for our health.
We can do many small things to help out at home. We can take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and sweep the floor every day. After dinner, we can do the dishes for our parents. We can also tidy up our own rooms and look after our little brothers or sisters when our parents are out.
Doing housework is our family responsibility. Let’s start to help out at home from now on and make our home a warmer place.

Yuncheng Salt Lake is a beautiful place in southern Shanxi. It is known as the “Dead Sea of China” because the water is very salty.
What makes it special? The water changes colors with seasons. In summer, it is like a colorful mirror. In winter, white salt flowers shine like snow. Because of the high salt, people float easily on the water. Visitors can enjoy salt baths, take photos, and learn salt history.
