【导语】这篇短文讲述了少年苏轼因自满而写了一副骄傲的对联,后被一位老者用一本他不认识的书点醒,从而认识到谦虚的重要性,并改写对联、最终努力成为一代文豪的故事。
【详解】1.句意:当他还是个孩子时,他读了很多书。根据空后“a lot of books”,可知此处表示读书,用read,本文讲的是苏东坡小时候的故事,用一般过去时,read的过去式是read。
2.句意:人们因此称赞他,但他变得有些过于骄傲了。空前有became a little too,此处用形容词作表语,再结合后文苏轼写了一副自大的对联,说明他因被夸奖而变得骄傲,选proud。
3.句意:一天,一位学识渊博的老人看到了这副对联,他带着一本书来到了苏轼家。根据空前“He”以及空后“to Su Shi’s house”可知此处缺少动词作谓语,结合语境,老人看到对联后,“来到” 苏轼家,选动词come,全文为过去叙事,用过去式came。
4.句意:我在读一本书,但里面有好多字我都不认识。many后接可数名词复数,故用words。
5.句意:我看到了你的对联,所以希望你能教我怎么读这些字。此处空格处指代前文的many words,并且作read的宾语,用代词they的宾格them。
6.句意:他的脸因羞愧而变红了。根据常识及后文“turned red”,可知是“脸”变红,故填face。
7.句意:苏轼看了看书名,感到很惊讶。空前有was,此处填形容词作表语,根据下一句“He never heard of that book before.”可知他从没听说过这本书,因此感到“惊讶”,填surprised。
8.句意:他只是想让苏轼认识到谦虚的重要性。let sb. do sth.是固定短语,意为“让某人做某事”,此处填动词原形,结合语境,老人的目的是让苏轼“意识到”要谦虚,填realize。
9.句意:苏轼明白了老人来的原因,然后说道:“我不应该这么骄傲自满。”根据空前“He realized”以及空后“the old man came”,可知此处缺少连接词引导宾语从句,结合语境,苏轼明白了老人来的原因,填why。
10.句意:最终,他通过努力成为了一位伟大的诗人。空后有动词“became”,此处用副词修饰动词,结合语境,故事结尾,苏轼经历这件事后努力,“最终”成功,选final,用其副词形式finally。

二、 阅读理解 (共三节,满分50分)
第1节 阅读下面语篇,选出最佳选项。 (共15小题,满分30分)
(A)
In April 2026, during the Water-Splashing Festival in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, as well as in Thailand, some bad and harmful things happened. Some people used high-pressure water guns to spray (喷射) at others on purpose, while some impolite men bothered young women. The festival is originally a meaningful local custom to drive away bad luck and welcome the new year, but some people celebrate it in wrong ways and hurt people just for fun.
In fact, the Water-Splashing Festival is a special traditional celebration shared by Thailand and the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, an autonomous prefecture of China. It comes from ancient Buddhist (佛教) culture. As Buddhism spread across Asia, the custom of splashing water gradually entered Southeast Asia and later reached Yunnan. That is why the two places have such similar festival traditions, including the timing, the use of clean water, and the belief in washing away bad luck.
Both Thailand and Xishuangbanna celebrate it in mid-April. People splash water to express good wishes for the new year. Although their celebrations have small differences—such as the length of the holiday, local music, or traditional dances—their cultural roots are closely connected (相连). This festival shows the friendly cultural bond between China and Thailand. In recent years, officials from both countries have even worked together to promote it as a shared cultural treasure.
Therefore, we should keep its original spirit alive and celebrate it in a polite, respectful way, not as an excuse for wild or harmful behavior (行为). Only by doing so can this beautiful tradition continue to bring happiness and health to everyone.

A.In Thailand. B.In India.
C.In Yunnan, China. D.In Southeast Asia.

A.Because they both celebrate New Year in April.
B.Because the festival comes from ancient Buddhist culture that spread across Asia.
C.Because they decided to create the same festival together.
D.Because they learned from each other recently.
( )24.What is the correct way to celebrate the Water-Splashing Festival according to the passage?
A.Use high-pressure water guns to spray strangers.
B.Harass young women for fun.
C.Splash water in a polite and respectful way to express good wishes.

【答案】 come difficulties
【详解】原句中“想出”“困难”是关键词:固定短语come up with表示“想出、提出”,情态动词can后接动词原形,故用come;“困难”用名词difficulty,此处表示泛指,用复数形式difficulties,作deal with的宾语。

One warm day, five little ants found a big piece of cake on the ground! “Let’s take it home!” they cheered 51 (happy).
“We’ll pull at the front!” said Tom and Tim.
“I’ll push at the back!” Annie shouted. She was the 52 (strong) of the five.
“Andy and I will lead the way!” cried Lulu. “There’re lots of sticks and 53 (stone) on the way. We must be careful.”
The ants agreed. Tom, Tim and Annie tried their best to move the cake. Lulu and Andy ran in front. They moved small sticks away and warned Tom, Tim and Annie 54 big holes.
Suddenly, it began to rain. “Be quick! Cover the cake!” Annie shouted. All quickly pulled the cake onto a big leaf and used another big leaf as 55 umbrella to keep the cake dry.
After the rain, they kept walking. When a big puddle (水坑) was in the way, they used a thin stick as a small bridge across it. When the cake got stuck in a hole, they lifted it and pushed it little by little 56 it came out.
Finally, the cake 57 (carry) to the ant hill. The queen ant was 58 (surprise). She asked, “How did you carry such a big piece of cake back?”
“Alone, we are small,” Lulu said. “But together, we’re strong enough 59 (move) big things!” They shared the cake with other ants. The experience also increased their 60 (confident). They couldn’t wait for their next team adventure.
【答案】 51.happily 52.strongest 53.stones 54.of 55.an 56.until 57.was carried 58.surprised 59.to move 60.confidence
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了五只小蚂蚁在温暖的日子里发现了一大块蛋糕,它们分工合作、克服困难,最终成功将蛋糕搬回蚁穴并与大家分享的故事,体现了团结就是力量的主题。
【详解】51.句意:在一个温暖的日子,五只小蚂蚁在地上发现了一大块蛋糕!“我们把它带回家吧!”它们高兴地欢呼道。此处修饰动词“cheered”,应用副词形式。happy的副词是happily。
52.句意:她是这五只蚂蚁中最强壮的。根据前面的定冠词“the”和范围“of the five”可知,此处表示在五者中进行比较,应用形容词的最高级形式。strong的最高级是strongest。
53.句意:路上有很多树枝和石头。stone 意为“石头”,是可数名词。前面有“lots of”修饰,且and连接并列成分sticks为复数,故stone也应用复数形式。
54.句意:Lulu和Andy跑在前面。它们移开小树枝并警告Tom、Tim和Annie关于大洞的情况。固定搭配warn sb. of sth.,意为“警告/提醒某人注意某事”,of符合语境。
55.句意:大家都迅速把蛋糕拉到一片大叶子上,并用另一片大叶子作为一把伞来保持蛋糕干燥。umbrella是以元音音素开头的单词,且此处表示泛指“一把伞”,应用不定冠词an。
56.句意:当蛋糕卡在一个洞里时,它们把它抬起来一点一点地推,直到它出来为止。根据语境,它们一直推,动作持续到蛋糕出来才停止,表示“直到……为止”,应用连词until。
57.句意:最后,蛋糕被运到了蚁丘。主语“the cake” 与动词“carry”之间是被动关系,且故事发生在过去,故应用一般过去时的被动语态。cake是单数,故用was carried。
58.句意:蚁后很惊讶。此处作表语形容人的感受,应用-ed结尾的形容词。surprise的形容词形式是surprised“惊讶的”。
59.句意:但是在一起,我们足够强壮去移动大东西!be strong enough to do sth.是常用句型,意为“足够强壮去做某事”,enough后接动词不定式。
60.句意:这次经历也增加了它们的自信。their是形容词性物主代词,后接名词。confident是形容词,其名词形式是confidence“自信”,名词。

(A)
In April 2026, during the Water-Splashing Festival in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, as well as in Thailand, some bad and harmful things happened. Some people used high-pressure water guns to spray (喷射) at others on purpose, while some impolite men bothered young women. The festival is originally a meaningful local custom to drive away bad luck and welcome the new year, but some people celebrate it in wrong ways and hurt people just for fun.
In fact, the Water-Splashing Festival is a special traditional celebration shared by Thailand and the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, an autonomous prefecture of China. It comes from ancient Buddhist (佛教) culture. As Buddhism spread across Asia, the custom of splashing water gradually entered Southeast Asia and later reached Yunnan. That is why the two places have such similar festival traditions, including the timing, the use of clean water, and the belief in washing away bad luck.
Both Thailand and Xishuangbanna celebrate it in mid-April. People splash water to express good wishes for the new year. Although their celebrations have small differences—such as the length of the holiday, local music, or traditional dances—their cultural roots are closely connected (相连). This festival shows the friendly cultural bond between China and Thailand. In recent years, officials from both countries have even worked together to promote it as a shared cultural treasure.
Therefore, we should keep its original spirit alive and celebrate it in a polite, respectful way, not as an excuse for wild or harmful behavior (行为). Only by doing so can this beautiful tradition continue to bring happiness and health to everyone.
