Using a challenge jar is a fun, easy way to try new things. TRY THESE, OR COME UP WITH OTHERS! —Help out with something you’ve never done. —Try a new topping on your sandwich or pizza. —Learn a new word and use it throughout the day. —Practise a new sports skill. —Write a note with the hand you don’t often use. —Dance to a parent’s favourite music. —Learn to count to 7 in another language. —Make a comic strip. —On a walk, notice at least 5 new things. —Ask a librarian to pick a surprise book for you. —Turn a photo upside down and draw it. —Invite a shy kid to play with you. —Make a snack for the family. Steps: ①Cut strips of paper. ②On each strip, write a new thing to try. ③Put the strips in a jar. ④Each morning (or whenever you’d like), shake the jar, pull out a paper, and try to complete the challenge before the end of the day. 26. The passage is most probably written for ________. A. teachers B. parents C. teenagers D. librarians 27. When should you try to complete the challenge from the jar? A. Right after choosing the colour. B. Before the day finishes. C. Right after writing a new one. D. Before the end of the week. 28. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To show how to make a creative toy. B. To introduce a fun way to try new things. C. To tell people to come up with new ideas. D. To encourage people to learn new languages. B ① Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary (文学的) world. For years, people have read them to learn more. But now, more people love “watching” these classics in videos. According to a survey reported by the most popular Chinese short-video platform, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 per cent year-on-year. ② A number of people get what they want by “watching” classics. ③ “There are some classics that I am not interested in but need to read,” said 14-year-old He Liyan from Jiangsu. “So I usually watch a video about the book to find out some interesting stories which can keep me reading.” Some people also find classic books are really long and hard to understand, so they go to vloggers’ explanations. ④ “The vloggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the books easier to understand,” added He. ⑤ A Dream of Red Mansions is famous for showing Chinese society with interesting characters and a poetic writing style. It talks about family, society and human nature. These things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read. So it will take a long time. ⑥ “There are so many characters in the novel, which make me confused a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyao from Hubei. “The mind maps shown in the videos make their relationships clear and quick.” ⑦ While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries. ⑧ For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a personal relationship with the text, not just learning information. “Books can let me imagine. Although videos can help a lot, they can’t show every part of a well-made story,” he said. ⑨ 18-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may weaken readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 29. Why does 14-year-old He Liyan watch videos about classic books? A. Because she finds classic books too short and easy to finish. B. Because she thinks videos can take the place of all traditional reading. C. Because she prefers vloggers’ personal opinions over the original texts. D. Because she hopes the videos help her read uninteresting but necessary books. 30. Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “confused” in para 6? A. B. C. D. 31. Why do people prefer classics videos according to the passage? ① Readers have trouble getting through some long and difficult classic books. ② Watching videos has become people’s main way to enjoy classics. ③ Explanations with vloggers’ own ideas make classic books much easier to follow. ④ Mind maps in videos help readers know how different characters are connected. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 32. What can we infer about Zhang Boren’s view on watching classics? A. He believes videos are useless for understanding classics. B. He thinks videos reduce readers’ ability to understand the book. C. He thinks the videos help to form a personal connection with books. D. He believes books are better than videos for developing imagination. C Imagine a clock that never makes a mistake, even after billions of years. This is not a dream, but a real invention called the strontium optical (锶光学) clock. It is one of the most precise (精准的) clocks in the world. Scientists are very excited about it because it can measure time more accurately than any ordinary clock. Normal clocks are fine for daily life, but they are not perfect. Even the best ones can get off by a second after a long time. For scientists, even a tiny mistake matters a lot. That is why they work hard to make clocks that are more exact and reliable. This special clock works in a very different way. Unlike regular clocks that have moving parts, it uses light from strontium atoms (锶原子) to keep track of time. ________ These atoms move in a very regular way, like tiny dancers, swinging back and forth constantly. Their movement is stable, making the clock very correct. If this clock had started running at the beginning of the universe, it would still be nearly perfect today. Because it is so exact, this clock can help scientists do many important things. It can improve GPS, making navigation and maps more correct. It can also help scientists study how time changes in different places, which is related to Einstein’s theory about time and space. In March 2026, Professor Pan Jianwei and his team at the University of Science and Technology of China improved their strontium clock so it only makes 1 second of error in 300 billion years. This achievement put China among the top countries in the world for this technology. It was even used to help control international time. In the future, these clocks may be sent into space. By comparing time in different places, they could show new secrets about space. A small clock like this could help humans answer big questions about how the world works. Time is something we use every day without thinking. However, this amazing clock shows it can be measured in an amazing, almost magical way. It reminds us that even something ordinary like a clock can help us explore space. 33. What makes the strontium optical clock different from ordinary clocks? A. It uses moving parts to measure time. B. It can get off by a second over time. C. It uses light from strontium atoms. D. It is mainly used for our daily life. 34. Which sentence can probably be put in the “________”? A. This makes it different from ordinary clocks. B. Scientists prefer regular clocks for daily life. C. Strontium atoms are found deep inside the earth. D. The light helps the clock keep time accurately. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Common things may have greater scientific value than we think. B. Magical inventions can change people’s daily lives. C. Space exploration fully depends on new clock technology. D. Ordinary tools can limit human’s scientific discovery. 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? A. Introduction→Working way→New progress and future→Uses→Conclusion B. Introduction→Working way and Uses→New progress and future→Conclusion C. Introduction→Uses→Working way→New progress and future→Conclusion D. Introduction→New progress and future→Working way and Uses→Conclusion D The sun shone through the high windows of the school hall, but the air inside felt heavy. Everyone was there for the final day of the Science Fair. They were waiting to see Mr. Harris, the headmaster, punish Leo, the boy everyone believed had broken the school’s most expensive telescope (望远镜). Sam sat in the back, his heart beating like a trapped bird. He looked at Leo. The quiet boy looked sad and helpless. Then Sam’s eyes moved to Brad, the leader of the football team, who stood near the front. Brad’s face was calm, but he had warned Sam earlier, “Keep your mouth shut.” Sam knew the truth. He had seen Brad knock the telescope over by accident while playing with a football indoors. But Brad was a boy everyone feared to go against. Staying silent was safe. Speaking up meant trouble. “Leo, do you have anything to say?” Mr. Harris asked strictly. Sam stood up. He remembered the nights he couldn’t sleep, feeling guilty about Leo being punished for something he didn’t do. He thought of what his grandfather always said. A hero wasn’t someone who was never scared; a hero was someone who did the right thing even when they were shaking. He moved forward. The hall grew quiet. “Sam?” Mr. Harris asked. “Do you have something to share?” Sam’s voice shook at first. “I… I was in the hall yesterday evening.” Everyone whispered in surprise. Sam looked directly at Mr. Harris instead of looking at Brad’s angry eyes. He almost stopped, but then he saw Leo’s sad face. He knew he must help the boy who did nothing wrong. “I saw it all,” Sam said, his voice becoming stronger. “Leo didn’t do it. He was just cleaning up the pieces. It was Brad who hit it with his football!” Suddenly, Brad’s face turned red, and he looked down at his shoes. Sam was still a little scared of Brad, but for the first time in days, the heavy weight on his chest disappeared. Sometimes, a single voice in a quiet room is enough to change everything. 37. Why did Sam keep quiet at first? A. Because he was afraid of Brad. B. Because he wanted to protect the telescope. C. Because he didn’t see what happened yesterday. D. Because he was busy preparing for the Science Fair. 38. Why did Sam’s voice change from “shaking” to “becoming stronger”? A. Because he stopped looking at Brad’s angry eyes. B. Because the whispers in the hall gave him courage. C. Because he wanted to show his grandfather he was a hero. D. Because he felt he must help the boy who did nothing wrong. 39. What does underlined phrase “the heavy weight on his chest” stand for? A. The fear of playing football indoors. B. The worry of being punished for breaking the telescope. C. The guilty feeling of letting an innocent person get punished. D. The tiredness from preparing for the school Science Fair. 40. What does the last sentence “Sometimes, a single voice in a quiet room is enough to change everything.” mean? A. Being a hero means you are never afraid of anything. B. One person’s courage can help others and make things right. C. It is important to speak loudly when a room is very quiet. D. Only teachers can change the rules in a school. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When was the last time you used cash? For many of us, it feels like ages.

That is why I believe good storytelling is so important for children. A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge.” As a student, she often drew illustrations for her school magazine. She later taught in a village for nearly twelve years. During this period, Cai Gao began improving and creating for books and magazines. Cai creates classical picture books based on Chinese folklore; her well-known works include Bao’er (The Fox Spirit) and several collections of folk art. Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. In her work, one can clearly sense the quality, artistry and emotional depth she brings to each piece. The way she sees the world is beautiful. The HCA is the highest international recognition awarded to authors and illustrators of children’s books. Upon winning the award, Cai Gao said, “This honor belongs to all my peers who witnessed and nurtured Chinese picture books’ early development.” 66.

Which sentence is right about the town center according to the two pictures? A. People used to go around by bus or taxi. B. The streets used to be full of traffic. C. More and more people have their own cars now. D. The government has turned the town center into a garden. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：根据这两幅图，关于市中心哪句话是正确的？ People used to go around by bus or taxi过去人们出门常坐公交或出租车出行；The streets used to be full of traffic过去街道上车水马龙、交通拥堵；More and more people have their own cars now如今越来越多的人拥有了私家车；The government has turned the town center into a garden政府已经把市中心改造成了一座花园。观察两幅图片可知，第一幅图（代表过去）中的街道非常空旷，几乎没有车辆；而第二幅图（代表现在）中的街道两旁停满了汽车。对比两幅图可以推断出，现在越来越多的人拥有自己的汽车了。 2. —The weather app shows a ________ of afternoon thunderstorms tomorrow. —Should we move the sports day then? Safety comes first! A. decision B. possibility C. difficulty D. suggestion 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——天气应用程序显示明天下午可能会有雷暴。——那么我们应该把运动会推迟吗？安全第一！ 考查名词词义辨析。decision决定；possibility可能；difficulty困难；suggestion建议。根据“The weather app”可知，天气预报是显示下午发生雷暴的可能性。故选B。 3. As the number of cars on the road is increasing, you ________ be too careful when crossing the street. A. can’t B. mustn’t C. needn’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：随着路上汽车数量的增加，你过马路时再怎么小心也不为过。 can’t不能；mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必；shouldn’t不应该。固定搭配“can’t be too+形容词”意为“再……也不为过/越……越好”。根据前句“the number of cars on the road is increasing”可知，过马路应越小心越好，应填can’t。 4. Many people think protecting the environment is difficult and needs big actions. In fact, creating a green world is often ________ a matter of small good habits in our daily life. A. hardly B. nearly C. simply D. mostly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多人认为保护环境很难，需要重大的行动。事实上，创造一个绿色世界往往仅仅是我们日常生活中好习惯的问题。 hardly几乎不；nearly几乎；simply仅仅；mostly主要地。根据“In fact”可知前后句意形成转折，前半句提到人们认为需要“big actions”，后半句强调其实是“small good habits”，说明事情并不复杂，仅仅是小习惯的问题，因此用“simply”。 5. —This work ________ to be harder than we thought. —You should research more before the beginning. Remember, well begun is half done. A. put out B. found out C. carried out D. turned out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这项工作结果比我们想象的要难。——你应该在开始之前多做一些调查。记住，良好的开端是成功的一半。 put out扑灭；found out查明，发现；carried out执行，实施；turned out结果是，证明是。结合对话内容，此处指工作实际情况与预想不同，难度更大，turn out to be意为“结果是，证明是”，符合句意。 6. ________ poor eyesight has become a common problem among teenagers, schools should cut down unnecessary screen-based homework. A. Although B. Since C. Unless D. If 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于视力差已经成为青少年中的一个普遍问题，学校应该减少不必要的基于屏幕的家庭作业。 Although虽然；Since由于，既然；Unless除非；If如果。前后句为因果关系，青少年视力差是减少屏幕作业的原因，因此应用Since引导原因状语从句。 7. He met countless failures on his road to the championship. ________, he still chose to keep going forward firmly and his strong spirit finally led him to the final victory. A. Moreover B. Therefore C. Otherwise D. Anyway 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他在通往冠军的道路上遇到了无数的失败。无论如何，他仍然选择坚定地继续前进，他强大的精神最终引领他走向了最终的胜利。 Moreover此外；Therefore因此；Otherwise否则；Anyway无论如何。根据前文“met countless failures”与后文“still chose to keep going forward”可知，尽管遭遇失败仍坚持前进，前后存在让步关系，因此选择“Anyway”表示“无论如何”。 8. The saying “Knowledge starts with practice” tells us ________. A. what is knowledge B. how we can get knowledge C. why is practice powerful D. when we should start practicing 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：“实践出真知”这句话告诉我们如何获得知识。 考查宾语从句。此处是宾语从句，需用陈述语序，排除AC；结合“Knowledge starts with practice”可知，强调方式，故选B。 9. —I’m always left out by my classmates and feel bad about myself. —Cheer up! ________. Everyone will have his shining moment. A. Every dog has its day B. Practice makes perfect C. Rome was not built in a day D. Actions speak louder than words 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我总是被同学冷落，自我感觉很差。——振作起来！凡人皆有得意日。每个人都会有他闪耀的时刻。 Every dog has its day凡人皆有得意日；Practice makes perfect熟能生巧；Rome was not built in a day罗马不是一日建成的；Actions speak louder than words行动胜于言辞。根据答语后句“Everyone will have his shining moment.”可知，此处意在表达每个人总会有成功或好运的时候。 故填Every dog has its day。 10. —I think teenagers should be allowed to make their own decisions about their future careers. —________. They need guidance and experience from adults. A. No problem B. Exactly C. I’m afraid not D. I agree 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为应该允许青少年自己决定未来的职业。——恐怕不行。他们需要成年人的指导和经验。 No problem没问题；Exactly完全正确，表赞同；I’m afraid not恐怕不是这样；I agree我同意。根据答语后句“They need guidance and experience from adults.”可知，答话者强调青少年需要成年人的指导，因此不同意对方“完全自主决定”的观点。应填I’m afraid not。 二、完形填空（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Life’s most lasting wisdom is often gained as we push ourselves forward in the early stages of life.

For years, people have read them to learn more. But now, more people love “watching” these classics in videos. According to a survey reported by the most popular Chinese short-video platform, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 per cent year-on-year. ② A number of people get what they want by “watching” classics. ③ “There are some classics that I am not interested in but need to read,” said 14-year-old He Liyan from Jiangsu. “So I usually watch a video about the book to find out some interesting stories which can keep me reading.” Some people also find classic books are really long and hard to understand, so they go to vloggers’ explanations. ④ “The vloggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the books easier to understand,” added He. ⑤ A Dream of Red Mansions is famous for showing Chinese society with interesting characters and a poetic writing style. It talks about family, society and human nature. These things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read. So it will take a long time. ⑥ “There are so many characters in the novel, which make me confused a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyao from Hubei. “The mind maps shown in the videos make their relationships clear and quick.” ⑦ While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries. ⑧ For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a personal relationship with the text, not just learning information. “Books can let me imagine. Although videos can help a lot, they can’t show every part of a well-made story,” he said. ⑨ 18-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may weaken readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 29. Why does 14-year-old He Liyan watch videos about classic books? A. Because she finds classic books too short and easy to finish. B. Because she thinks videos can take the place of all traditional reading. C. Because she prefers vloggers’ personal opinions over the original texts. D. Because she hopes the videos help her read uninteresting but necessary books. 30. Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “confused” in para 6? A. B. C. D. 31. Why do people prefer classics videos according to the passage? ① Readers have trouble getting through some long and difficult classic books. ② Watching videos has become people’s main way to enjoy classics. ③ Explanations with vloggers’ own ideas make classic books much easier to follow. ④ Mind maps in videos help readers know how different characters are connected. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 32. What can we infer about Zhang Boren’s view on watching classics? A. He believes videos are useless for understanding classics. B. He thinks videos reduce readers’ ability to understand the book. C. He thinks the videos help to form a personal connection with books. D. He believes books are better than videos for developing imagination. 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. C 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述如今越来越多人通过短视频看经典名著，分别介绍了短视频解读名著的优势，以及部分学生对此产生的担忧与反对观点。 【29题详解】 原文第三段He Liyan提到“There are some classics that I am not interested in but need to read…watch a video about the book to find out some interesting stories which can keep me reading.”，说明她看名著短视频是希望视频能帮助自己读完不感兴趣但必须读的书。 【30题详解】 第六段划线词confused意为“困惑的、一头雾水的”，文中指小说人物太多让学生分不清关系而感到困惑；A图人物满头问号，体现迷茫困惑，匹配词义。 【31题详解】 ①原文第三段“Some people also find classic books are really long and hard to understand”对应读者难以读完冗长难懂的名著，正确； ②文中仅说相关视频播放量大幅上涨，并未说明看视频是人们欣赏名著的主要方式，错误； ④第六段“The mind maps shown in the videos make their relationships clear”对应思维导图理清人物关联，正确； ③第四段“The vloggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the books easier to understand”对应博主带个人观点的讲解更容易看懂，正确； 综上①③④正确。 【32题详解】 第八段Zhang Boren提出“Books can let me imagine. Although videos can help a lot, they can’t show every part of a well-made story”，能推断出他认为书籍比短视频更能培养想象力。 C Imagine a clock that never makes a mistake, even after billions of years. This is not a dream, but a real invention called the strontium optical (锶光学) clock. It is one of the most precise (精准的) clocks in the world. Scientists are very excited about it because it can measure time more accurately than any ordinary clock. Normal clocks are fine for daily life, but they are not perfect. Even the best ones can get off by a second after a long time. For scientists, even a tiny mistake matters a lot. That is why they work hard to make clocks that are more exact and reliable. This special clock works in a very different way. Unlike regular clocks that have moving parts, it uses light from strontium atoms (锶原子) to keep track of time. ________ These atoms move in a very regular way, like tiny dancers, swinging back and forth constantly. Their movement is stable, making the clock very correct. If this clock had started running at the beginning of the universe, it would still be nearly perfect today. Because it is so exact, this clock can help scientists do many important things. It can improve GPS, making navigation and maps more correct. It can also help scientists study how time changes in different places, which is related to Einstein’s theory about time and space. In March 2026, Professor Pan Jianwei and his team at the University of Science and Technology of China improved their strontium clock so it only makes 1 second of error in 300 billion years. This achievement put China among the top countries in the world for this technology. It was even used to help control international time. In the future, these clocks may be sent into space. By comparing time in different places, they could show new secrets about space. A small clock like this could help humans answer big questions about how the world works. Time is something we use every day without thinking. However, this amazing clock shows it can be measured in an amazing, almost magical way. It reminds us that even something ordinary like a clock can help us explore space. 33. What makes the strontium optical clock different from ordinary clocks? A. It uses moving parts to measure time. B. It can get off by a second over time. C. It uses light from strontium atoms. D. It is mainly used for our daily life. 34. Which sentence can probably be put in the “________”? A. This makes it different from ordinary clocks. B. Scientists prefer regular clocks for daily life. C. Strontium atoms are found deep inside the earth. D. The light helps the clock keep time accurately. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Common things may have greater scientific value than we think. B. Magical inventions can change people’s daily lives. C. Space exploration fully depends on new clock technology. D. Ordinary tools can limit human’s scientific discovery. 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? A. Introduction→Working way→New progress and future→Uses→Conclusion B. Introduction→Working way and Uses→New progress and future→Conclusion C. Introduction→Uses→Working way→New progress and future→Conclusion D. Introduction→New progress and future→Working way and Uses→Conclusion 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了锶光学钟的特点、工作原理、用途、最新进展及未来展望。 【33题详解】 第三段介绍了锶光学钟与普通钟表不同的原因“Unlike regular clocks that have moving parts, it uses light from strontium atoms to keep track of time.”在于它利用锶原子光来计时。 【34题详解】 前文提到它利用锶原子光来计时“it uses light from strontium atoms to keep track of time”，后文提到原子运动规律使钟表精准“These atoms move in a very regular way…Their movement is stable, making the clock very correct.”。选项D“The light helps the clock keep time accurately.”既承接了前文的“光”，又引出了后文关于“精准度”的解释，符合逻辑。 【35题详解】 最后一段“It reminds us that even something ordinary like a clock can help us explore space.”可知，日常普通的事物可能蕴含着巨大的科学价值。 【36题详解】 文章结构为：第一段引入锶光学钟“Introduction”；第二至三段介绍其工作原理“Working way”；第四段介绍其用途“Uses”；第五段介绍中国的最新进展与未来应用“New progress and future”；最后一段总结“Conclusion”，即“Introduction→Working way and Uses→New progress and future→Conclusion”。 D The sun shone through the high windows of the school hall, but the air inside felt heavy. Everyone was there for the final day of the Science Fair. They were waiting to see Mr. Harris, the headmaster, punish Leo, the boy everyone believed had broken the school’s most expensive telescope (望远镜). Sam sat in the back, his heart beating like a trapped bird. He looked at Leo. The quiet boy looked sad and helpless. Then Sam’s eyes moved to Brad, the leader of the football team, who stood near the front. Brad’s face was calm, but he had warned Sam earlier, “Keep your mouth shut.” Sam knew the truth. He had seen Brad knock the telescope over by accident while playing with a football indoors. But Brad was a boy everyone feared to go against. Staying silent was safe. Speaking up meant trouble. “Leo, do you have anything to say?” Mr. Harris asked strictly. Sam stood up. He remembered the nights he couldn’t sleep, feeling guilty about Leo being punished for something he didn’t do. He thought of what his grandfather always said. A hero wasn’t someone who was never scared; a hero was someone who did the right thing even when they were shaking. He moved forward. The hall grew quiet. “Sam?” Mr. Harris asked. “Do you have something to share?” Sam’s voice shook at first. “I… I was in the hall yesterday evening.” Everyone whispered in surprise. Sam looked directly at Mr. Harris instead of looking at Brad’s angry eyes. He almost stopped, but then he saw Leo’s sad face. He knew he must help the boy who did nothing wrong. “I saw it all,” Sam said, his voice becoming stronger. “Leo didn’t do it. He was just cleaning up the pieces. It was Brad who hit it with his football!” Suddenly, Brad’s face turned red, and he looked down at his shoes. Sam was still a little scared of Brad, but for the first time in days, the heavy weight on his chest disappeared. Sometimes, a single voice in a quiet room is enough to change everything. 37. Why did Sam keep quiet at first? A. Because he was afraid of Brad. B. Because he wanted to protect the telescope. C. Because he didn’t see what happened yesterday. D. Because he was busy preparing for the Science Fair. 38. Why did Sam’s voice change from “shaking” to “becoming stronger”? A. Because he stopped looking at Brad’s angry eyes. B. Because the whispers in the hall gave him courage. C. Because he wanted to show his grandfather he was a hero. D. Because he felt he must help the boy who did nothing wrong. 39. What does underlined phrase “the heavy weight on his chest” stand for? A. The fear of playing football indoors. B. The worry of being punished for breaking the telescope. C. The guilty feeling of letting an innocent person get punished. D. The tiredness from preparing for the school Science Fair. 40. What does the last sentence “Sometimes, a single voice in a quiet room is enough to change everything.” mean? A. Being a hero means you are never afraid of anything. B. One person’s courage can help others and make things right. C. It is important to speak loudly when a room is very quiet. D. Only teachers can change the rules in a school. 【答案】37. A 38. D 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Sam目睹Brad弄坏望远镜却嫁祸给Leo，起初因害怕Brad而沉默，最终鼓起勇气说出真相，让无辜者免于惩罚的故事。 【37题详解】 根据文章第二段Brad警告Sam“Keep your mouth shut”以及第三段“But Brad was a boy everyone feared to go against. Staying silent was safe.”可知，Sam起初保持沉默是因为他害怕Brad以及得罪Brad带来的麻烦。 【38题详解】 根据文章第九段“He almost stopped, but then he saw Leo’s sad face. He knew he must help the boy who did nothing wrong.”紧接着第十段提到“his voice becoming stronger”。可知，是想要帮助无辜男孩的决心让他的声音从颤抖变得坚定。 【39题详解】 根据文章第五段Sam因为Leo替罪而失眠，“feeling guilty about Leo being punished for something he didn’t do”，以及第十二段说完真相后“the heavy weight on his chest disappeared”。可知，“胸口的重负”指代的是让无辜者受罚的内疚感。 【40题详解】 结合全文主旨，Sam一个人鼓起勇气说出真相（a single voice），不仅洗清了Leo的冤屈，也纠正了错误的局面（change everything）。这句话的深层含义是一个人的勇气可以帮助他人并使事情回归正轨。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When was the last time you used cash? For many of us, it feels like ages. Have you ever looked carefully at RMB notes? Nowadays, we pay for bubble tea or meals with just a phone. Banknotes seem to have disappeared. ____41____ They are like small windows that show Chinese culture. Take the ¥100 note as an example. Its background picture looks like a phoenix (凤凰) design on a piece of Warring States-period lacquerware (漆器)! ____42____ In fact, China was one of the first countries in the world to use paper money. During the Song Dynasty, people began to use notes like jiaozi. They had detailed designs, such as dragons and cloud stripes. ____43____ They also made it hard to make fake (假的) money. ____44____ For example, the ¥50 note shows the chrysanthemum (菊花). This flower often carries the meaning of the hermit (隐士), especially because of Tao Yuanming, the poet who wrote the famous line “Plucking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence.” Another great example is the plum blossom (梅花) on the ¥100 note. ____45____ It has been a sign of strength, hope, and courage. It’s probably the most celebrated flower in our culture and has appeared in more poems than one can count since ancient times. RMB notes carry a cultural weight far heavier than the numbers printed on them! A. This flower opens in the cold winter. B. However, they go beyond payment use. C. These designs not only looked pretty but served a second purpose. D. It shows that the beauty of ancient art still lives on today’s money. E. Notes were invented during the Song Dynasty and soon became widely used. F. Each RMB note features a flower that plays an important role in Chinese culture. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. F 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人民币纸币不仅具有支付功能，还承载着丰富的中国文化元素，包括历史渊源、图案设计及花卉象征意义。 【41题详解】 文章第2段“Banknotes seem to have disappeared...They are like small windows that show Chinese culture.”前句说“纸币似乎消失了”，后句转折说“它们像展示中国文化的窗口”，此处需要转折，说明纸币虽很少用但仍有文化价值。选项 B“However, they go beyond payment use.”承上启下。 【42题详解】 文章第2段“Take the ¥100 note as an example. Its background picture looks like a phoenix design on a piece of Warring States-period lacquerware!”说明百元纸币图案源自战国漆器凤凰纹，此处应总结古代艺术与现代货币的联系。选项D“It shows that the beauty of ancient art still lives on today’s money.”承接上文例子，逻辑通顺。 【43题详解】 文章第3段“They had detailed designs, such as dragons and cloud stripes...They also made it hard to make fake money.”前句讲设计精美，后句讲“还防伪”，此处需连接图案外观与防伪功能。选项C“These designs not only looked pretty but served a second purpose.”引出下文防伪用途，符合逻辑。 【44题详解】 文章第4段“For example, the ¥50 note shows the chrysanthemum...Another great example is the plum blossom on the ¥100 note.”重点讲“每张纸币上都有代表中国文化的花”。此处需用总起句引出纸币上的花卉话题。选项F“Each RMB note features a flower that plays an important role in Chinese culture.”概括本段主旨，后文均为具体例证。 【45题详解】 文章第4段“Another great example is the plum blossom on the ¥100 note.”和“It has been a sign of strength, hope, and courage.”说明百元纸币上的梅花是力量、希望和勇气的象征，此处需描述梅花特性以解释其象征意义。选项A“This flower opens in the cold winter.”引出下文“象征力量、希望、勇气”的文化寓意，语义连贯。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 四、词汇运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式，使短文通顺、连贯。 China has made remarkable and eye-catching achievements in the aerospace field over the past decades.

That is why I believe good storytelling is so important for children. A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge.” As a student, she often drew illustrations for her school magazine. She later taught in a village for nearly twelve years. During this period, Cai Gao began improving and creating for books and magazines. Cai creates classical picture books based on Chinese folklore; her well-known works include Bao’er (The Fox Spirit) and several collections of folk art. Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. In her work, one can clearly sense the quality, artistry and emotional depth she brings to each piece.
