At last, he said to the waiter, “Please give my horse a cup of hot tea.” The waiter and the villagers were all very surprised. The waiter replied, “A horse doesn’t drink tea.” The farmer smiled and said, “My horse is very special. It can count numbers, carry heavy bags, and even drink tea.” So the waiter brought tea to the horse. Everyone rushed outside to watch, but the farmer stayed behind and sat by the fire. After a moment, the waiter returned and said, “Your horse didn’t drink tea.” The farmer nodded and said, “No problem. Bring it here. I’ll drink it myself.”

A. speed B. weight C. size D. length
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:右边的图片警示司机注意他们卡车的重量。
speed速度;weight重量;size尺寸;length长度。根据图片提示可知,图中显示的是限重标志,提醒司机注意卡车的载重限制。应填weight。

A. hardly B. simply C. properly D. exactly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我的新淋浴器坏了,我稍后要致电客服。——真的吗?你确定你把它正确安装好了吗?
hardly几乎不;simply仅仅,简单地;properly正确地、妥善地;exactly恰好地,精确地。对话怀疑淋浴器故障是安装不当导致,properly契合句子语境。
23. With a wide knowledge of Chinese history and culture, she often ________ to express her ideas using Chinese sayings.
A. refuses B. fails C. manages D. warns
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:凭借丰富的中国历史和文化知识,她经常能成功做到用中国谚语来表达她的想法。
refuses拒绝;fails失败;manages成功做到;warns警告。根据“With a wide knowledge of Chinese history and culture”可知,因为知识渊博,所以她能够成功地用谚语表达观点。应填manages。
24. Fresh vegetables ________ every day at the market and they are quite popular.
A. provide B. will provide C. are provided D. will be provided
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:新鲜蔬菜每天在市场上被提供,它们很受欢迎。
provide提供;will provide将会提供;are provided被提供;will be provided将要被提供。主语“Fresh vegetables”与动词“provide”之间是被动关系,结合时间状语“every day”可知,应用一般现在时的被动语态,结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”。应填are provided。
25. —Let’s turn on the TV and watch the football match of the Jiangsu Football City League.
—It’s too late. It ________ for half an hour. And the result is 1-0. Nantong won!
A. has begun B. has finished C. has been on D. has been over
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——让我们打开电视观看江苏足球城市联赛的足球比赛吧。——太晚了。比赛已经结束半个小时了。结果是1比0,南通赢了!
has begun已经开始;has finished已经结束;has been on已经播出;has been over已经结束。begin和finish是短暂性动词,不能与时间段连用,排除A、B。根据“It’s too late.”及“And the result is 1-0. Nantong won!”可知比赛已结束。应填has been over。
26. Most students think ________ necessary ________ to take a 15-minute break between classes.
A. that; for them B. it; of them C. that; of them D. it; for them
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:大多数学生认为课间休息15分钟对他们来说是必要的。
think it + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.是固定句型,其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式;形容词necessary修饰事物,介词用for而不用 of。根据句意和结构,第一空填 it,第二空填for them。
27. Can you believe that? Little Jimmy just ate 10 xiaolongbao ________!
A. in time B. on time C. at a time D. all the time
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:你能相信吗?小吉米刚才一次吃了 10 个小笼包!
in time及时;on time按时;at a time一次;all the time一直。根据“Little Jimmy just ate 10 xiaolongbao”可知,语境强调一次吃的数量之多,令人惊讶,应用at a time。
28. “I think they’re not coming since they haven’t replied to the invitation.” The underlined word “since” is used to ________.
A. show time B. show a result C. give a reason D. give an example
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:“我想他们不会来了,因为他们还没有回复邀请”。带下划线的单词“since”用来表示原因。
考查since的用法。show time表明时间;show a result显示结果;give a reason给出一个理由;give an example举例子。根据“I think they’re not coming since they haven’t replied to the invitation.”可知,此处用since表示原因,猜测他们不会来的原因,故选C。
29. Which saying can best describe the text below?
…Then I made another place for my goats and kept half of them in each field. If one group of goats were discovered, I would still have the other…
—Taken from Robinson Crusoe
A. No pain, no gain.

No pain, no gain不劳无获;It never rains but it pours祸不单行;Every dog has its day凡人皆有得意日;Don’t put all your eggs in one basket不要把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。根据文中主人公将山羊分两处饲养,以防万一的描述,可知强调的是分散风险,不要孤注一掷。应填Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
30. The sign means that ________.
A. kids should play with pets slowly here
B. drivers can play with kids and pets here
C. children and kids are allowed to cross freely
D. drivers should watch out for children and pets
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个标志的意思是司机应该注意儿童和宠物。
根据图片中的文字“SLOW DOWN(减速)”和“KIDS AND PETS AT PLAY(有小孩和宠物在玩耍)”可知,这是一个交通警示标志,提醒司机减速慢行,注意正在玩耍的儿童和宠物。应选D。
31. Choose the most suitable sentence to complete the following paragraph.
________, Books hold wonderful stories and important knowledge, so take good care of them. Never write in them, or leave them in messy places. By caring for books properly, you will allow yourself and others to enjoy them for years.
A. Share your books with others B. Treat your books with respect
C. Knowledge comes from books D. Messy places are bad for books
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:尊重你的书籍,书籍拥有精彩的故事和重要的知识,所以要好好照顾它们。不要在书上写字,也不要把它们放在凌乱的地方。通过妥善照顾书籍,你将允许自己和他人多年享受它们。
Share your books with others与他人分享你的书籍;Treat your books with respect尊重地对待你的书籍;Knowledge comes from books知识来源于书籍;Messy places are bad for books杂乱的地方对书籍不好。根据后文“take good care of them”、“Never write in them, or leave them in messy places”可知,整段话在讲要爱护、尊重书籍,B选项“尊重地对待你的书籍”既能概括主旨,又能自然引出后文的具体做法,是段落主题句。
32. The picture describes the first meeting between Robin Hood and ________.
A. Little John B. Friar Tuck C. Prince John D. King Richard
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这张图片描述了罗宾汉和小约翰的初次相遇。
Little John小约翰;Friar Tuck塔克修士;Prince John约翰王子;King Richard理查国王(狮心王)。根据图片中两人在独木桥上相遇并拿着武器对峙的场景,结合《罗宾汉》的故事背景可知,这是罗宾汉和小约翰(Little John)初次相遇的情景,两人在桥上互不相让并发生了打斗。应选A。
33. How does Dorothy return home in the end?
A. The tornado brought her back.
B. The Scarecrow used its magic.
C. She was taken back by a balloon.

The tornado brought her back龙卷风把她带回来;The Scarecrow used its magic稻草人使用魔法;She was taken back by a balloon她被气球送回;She clicked the heels of her silver shoes她轻敲银鞋子鞋跟。根据《绿野仙踪》原著情节,多萝西依靠有魔力的银鞋敲击鞋跟回家,She clicked the heels of her silver shoes契合原文语境。

Sonia covered the older girl’s eyes, calling, “Jerry, Mike, have you hidden yourselves?”
The boys replied, “We are ____35____.”
Sonia said to Linda, “You can’t peep (偷看)!”
Linda replied, “Mom, I didn’t.”

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者的邻居索尼娅带着三名视障孩子在院子玩捉迷藏,作者起初被打扰想带孩子去影院,后来得知孩子们来自孤儿院,院子里的路线是社区为他们设计的行走地图,索尼娅用心引导孩子独立出行,让作者深受触动的暖心故事。
【34题详解】
句意:所以我中午经常被他们从睡梦中吵醒。
结合原文“Every day after lunch...I am often woken up”,午休时段被吵醒,对应dream(睡梦)。game“游戏”、lesson“课程”、movie“电影”均不符合午休语境。
【35题详解】
句意:男孩们回答:“我们准备好了。”
捉迷藏游戏里藏好后会告知大人ready(准备就绪)。right“正确的”、lost“迷路的”、safe“安全的”不符合游戏对话逻辑。
【36题详解】
句意:索尼娅轻轻推着琳达向前走,说道:“现在去抓住他们!”
琳达是视障孩子,母亲推她的动作应当轻柔,gently意为“轻柔地”。wisely“明智地”、politely“礼貌地”、closely“紧密地”不符合照顾孩子的动作语境。
【37题详解】
句意:琳达小心翼翼迈步,抬起双手,向前摸索着走。
视障孩子行走时会抬起手探路,raised hands表示“抬起双手”。cleaned“清洗”、showed“展示”、checked“检查”均不符合盲人探路动作。
【38题详解】
句意:琳达,小心脚下,别摔倒,这里有台阶。
后文提到台阶、走路摔倒,mind your feet是提醒留意脚下。head“头”、hands“手”、legs“腿”不符合台阶行走的安全提示。
【39题详解】
句意:琳达转身——果不其然,她抓到了他们。
根据“brothers are a little behind you”可知 Linda 转身就能抓到兄弟们,故选 turned。flew“飞”、ran“跑”、jumped“跳”不符合抓人的动作。
【40题详解】
句意:这一刻,院子里爆发出阵阵大笑。
固定搭配break out表示(笑声、喧闹)突然爆发。find out“查明”、cut out“剪下”、hand out“分发”均无法搭配laughter。
【41题详解】
句意:我前去拜访索尼娅,问能否每天中午带孩子们去电影院,因为我习惯午饭后睡觉,费用由我承担。
后文索尼娅转述我的话“Uncle Jack wants to invite you to the movies”,对应cinema(电影院)。school“学校”、mall“商场”、bookshop“书店”无对应原文线索。
【42题详解】
句意:哦孩子们,杰克叔叔想邀请你们去看电影。
invite sb. to sp. 固定搭配“邀请某人去某地”。carry“搬运”、follow“跟随”、lead“带领”不符合“看电影”的邀约语境。
【43题详解】
句意:但她朝我使了个眼色,把我拉到一边悄悄交谈。
pull sb. aside to talk把某人拉到一旁交谈。根据下文“She said she took the three children from the orphanage years ago.”可知,Sonia在向作者解释孩子们的情况,也就是在“说话”。sit“坐下”、hide“躲藏”、rest“休息”不符合动作搭配。
【44题详解】
句意:这些孩子正在学习如何在社区里行走、独自出行。
孤儿院的视障孩子需要学习独立出行技能,learning意为“学习”。guessing“猜测”、choosing“选择”、understanding“理解”不匹配生活技能训练。
【45题详解】
句意:这时我才明白,这些院子里的路线是社区为他们制作的地图。
布满标线的院子用来练习认路,相当于行走map(地图)。design“设计”、poster“海报”、culture“文化”不符合路线标线的作用。
【46题详解】
句意:“现在琳达能独自去海德学校了。”索尼娅十分骄傲地说道。
孩子学会独立出行,母亲内心充满pride(骄傲)。hope“希望”、wish“愿望”、courage“勇气”不符合说话人的情绪。
【47题详解】
句意:“海德?那所盲人学校?你是说琳达看不见?”我十分惊讶。
作者此前完全不知道孩子们失明,得知真相后感到surprised(惊讶的)。worried“担忧的”、angry“生气的”、happy“开心的”不符合得知秘密后的反应。
【48题详解】
句意:走出门时,我问索尼娅:“抱歉,那你为什么捉迷藏时依旧蒙住孩子们的眼睛?”
虽然孩子本身看不见,但玩游戏时仍然保持蒙眼的习惯,still意为“仍然、依旧”。already“已经”、once“曾经”、hardly“几乎不”不符合语境逻辑。
四、阅读理解(共16小题;每小题2分,满分32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,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Choose a suitable trail
Things to bring for hiking
Tips
● Start with a beginner-friendly trail that is not too long.
● Carry enough water: a general rule is to bring at least 1 litter (升) of water for every two hours.
● Check the weather: before you go, look at the weather report to avoid rain.
● Don’t rush. Hiking is about enjoying the journey not just reaching the place.
49. According to the picture, which of the following is part of “Emergency”?
A. Water. B. Sleeping bag. C. Medicine. D. Mobile phone.
50. How many litters of water do you need to bring if you plan to hike with your parents for four hours?
A. At least 2 litters. B. At least 4 litters. C. At least 6 litters. D. At least 8 litters.
51. If you want to start and end your hike at the same point while enjoying different views, which type of trail should you choose?
A. Loop. B. Out and back.
C. Point-to-point. D. Lollipop.
【答案】49. C 50. C 51. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇图文结合的远足出行指南,分别介绍了不同类型的徒步路线、徒步需要携带的物品种类以及徒步注意小贴士。
【49题详解】
根据徒步物品分类图,Emergency(应急物品)区域包含急救箱,对应药品;Water属于Food & water分类,Sleeping bag属于Sleep分类,Mobile phone属于Navigation分类。
【50题详解】
文中Tips部分提到:“Carry enough water: a general rule is to bring at least 1 litter (升) of water for every two hours.”,本次徒步为你和父母共3人,徒步时长4小时,计算可得总共至少需要6升水。
【51题详解】
根据路线示意图,Loop型路线起点和终点在同一位置,整条路线为闭环,可以欣赏到不同风景,符合题干要求;Out and back为往返路线,Point-to-point起点终点不同,Lollipop终点不与起点重合,均不符合要求。
B
Hi, DeepSeek. I’m Sarah, a teenage girl, and my parents always ask me to take classes on weekends. I tried to refuse, but they didn’t listen to me! I really want to leave for somewhere else! Do you think it works?
Deep thinking, in 10 seconds.
Now I need to give advice to a teenage girl, who tries to leave for somewhere angrily to run away from weekend classes. First, I should tell her that leaving home must be a wrong way. Next, I should suggest how to solve this problem in a right way. Also, I should try to comfort the girl so that she can calm down and make the right decisions.
Hi, there. I know how mad you feel but it won’t work.
1. Leaving Might Backfire
Leaving home can really risk your safety! You may end up in dangerous situations. For example, you may have to sleep in unsafe places or trust wrong people who may put you in trouble. Besides, running away won’t make parents focus on weekend classes. Instead, it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you out of fear. This will place more stress (压力) on you.
2. Try the Following Instead
If face-to-face talks always end up with arguments, a letter will help. In the letter, you can show your feelings—“Too many classes really make me stressed out.” Or you can offer another choice—“Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?” Also, if you find communication with your parents is really hard, ask a trusted aunt or a teacher to help express your opinions to them. They might listen to another adult. Change often takes time, so keep communicating in a right way.
Remember, your feelings are understandable, but your safety matters most. And if you keep feeling upset, turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or someone else you trust. There is always someone willing to listen to you.
52. How many steps does DeepSeek plan to take before it replies?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
53. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “Backfire”?
A. He realized that someone set a fire to his house and he lost everything.
B. If she takes the lessons that she enjoys, her eyes will just be full of fire.
C. They opened fire first! We must fire back to get a way out, or we’ll die!
D. Give up your silly plan because it won’t work and will add oil to the fire!
54. According to DeepSeek, what could Sarah say to her parents as another choice?
A. ”Could I not go to any class on weekends?”
B. ”I will leave home if you take me to any class.”
C. ”You can choose to be parents for another girl!”
D. ”Could I pick the weekend classes that I enjoy?”
55. From the underlined sentence, Deepseek wants Sarah to ________.
A. trust every real person she meets B. communicate with other real persons
C. talk with another AI like ChatGPT D. listen to someone else more carefully
【答案】52. B 53. D 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是DeepSeek AI对Sarah因周末课程与父母冲突的回复,分析了离家出走的危险性并给出了沟通建议。
【52题详解】
第二段斜体部分为DeepSeek的思索过程,计划采取三步“First...Next...Also...”,具体包括:告诉离家是错误的、建议正确解决方法、安抚情绪。
【53题详解】
“Backfire”所在句为:“Leaving Might Backfire”,结合后文“Leaving home can really risk your safety...it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you”,说明离家出走不仅不会解决问题,反而会让情况更糟,因此“Backfire”意为“适得其反”,选项D“Give up your silly plan because it won’t work and will add oil to the fire!”符合这一含义。
【54题详解】
第2条建议指出Sarah可以提出的另一个选择:“another choice—‘Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?’”,说明可以提议选择自己喜欢的课程。
【55题详解】
最后一段划线句“There is always someone willing to listen to you.”,结合前文“turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or someone else you trust”,说明DeepSeek建议Sarah与其他真实的人沟通,因此选B。
C
Have you ever heard of or taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)? With 93 questions, the test separates all of the different people in the world into 16 types. There are many other personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. Some companies even use it to help choose suitable workers.
However, the MBTI can’t truly measure (衡量) changeable personality. The test, after all, was created in the early days of psychological (心理学的) research. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel, were not trained psychologists. What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. “There is just no evidence behind the MBTI.” said Adam Grant, an American psychologist.
If the MBTI is not trustable, then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and her daughter to create it in the first place. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Her daughter Isabel continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s and started using it among workers. Some personality tests would separate people into two groups: those who were good and those who were bad. However, Isable thought it was unfair. When creating her test, she wanted everyone to be able to understand that while people may be different from one another, they are all equal. This may be the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never paints a personality hopelessly.
The MBTI may not be the best way for measuring if a person is suitable for a position at a company, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge.
56. What can we learn about personality tests?
A. Over 1.5 million people take personality tests every year.
B. Companies use them to know more about workers’ hobbies.
C. They started to be used by people as early as the 1940s.
D. Some personality tests only separate people into two types.
57. The underlined word “evidence” means ________.
A. True facts. B. True supporters. C. Real competitions. D. Real success.
58. “The MBTI just offers that in a nice way” could best be placed at the end of ________.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
59. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise people to take the MBTI.
B. To tell why Briggs began the MBTI.
C. To show the popularity of the MBTI.
D. To make people know more about MBTI.
【答案】56. D 57. A 58. D 59. D
【解析】
【导语】本文全面介绍了MBTI性格测试。
【56题详解】
第三段“Some personality tests would separate people into two groups: those who were good and those who were bad.”说明有些性格测试会把人划分成两类:一类是优秀的人,一类是差劲的人。
【57题详解】
第二段“What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. ‘There is just no evidence behind the MBTI.’ said Adam Grant, an American psychologist.”此处指MBTI没有科学事实支撑,因此evidence意为“证据、依据”,对应真实客观事实。
【58题详解】
第四段“The MBTI may not be the best way for measuring if a person is suitable for a position at a company, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge.”说明MBTI虽不能用于职场筛选,但并非完全无用,人们渴望了解自我,“The MBTI just offers that in a nice way”MBTI恰好以友好的方式满足了人们的需求,该句放在段末总结逻辑通顺。

D
The children wanted to hold a birthday celebration for Mr. Perks. When sharing the idea with the villagers, everyone happily agreed to help. The villagers were willing to prepare their own gifts for him. The poorly paid station worker had always been kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Besides, he often fixed broken toys for the children. When Mother heard their plan, she agreed but reminded them, “True kindness shows respect and should never make the receiver feel embarrassed.”
Then the children went around the village collecting small gifts for Mr. Perks. Each villager remembered his kindness. When they brought the gifts to Mr. Perks’ little house, his wife cried happily, “This will be Perks’ best birthday!”
As Mr. Perks came home, the children quickly hid in the wash-house. Then Bobbie realized a big problem — she forgot to put names on each gift! Now Mr. Perks might think all the gifts were from the children. It seemed that they had spent all money on him to show off their generosity, exactly what Mother had warned them not to do.
Soon they heard the voice of Mr. Perks, loud and rather angry: “I won’t accept charity!” Then Mr. Perks found the children in the wash-house. He rushed to the door and pushed it open hard.
“Come out,” said Mr. Perks, “come out and tell me what you mean by it.”
“Oh!” said Phyllis, “I thought you’d be happy.”
“We didn’t mean any harm,” said Peter.
“But you did hurt me,” said Mr. Perks.
“These aren’t just from us,” Peter explained. “The whole village gave them because you’ve helped everyone!”
“Then why shame me before the whole village?” Mr. Perks shouted.
With shaking fingers, Bobbie pulled out the notes they’d prepared. She read them one by one: (1) From Mother: “Only giving some old clothes because Mr. Perks has been so kind; I can’t do much because we’re poor ourselves.” (2) From the Blacksmith: “Made this tool special for a respected man.” (3)….
Mrs. Perks cried, “They’re not pity gifts, dear. They’re thanks.”
After a long silence, Mr. Perks’ serious look softened. “Well… can’t say no to kindness,” he said quietly, “the kind respect of our neighbours is worth having, right?”
60. Why did the children celebrate Mr. Perks’ birthday?
A. To show off generosity. B. To give back his kindness.
C. To get gifts from villagers. D. To follow their mother’s plan.
61. What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean?
A. Excited. B. Cheerful. C. Uncomfortable. D. Impatient.
62. Why did Mr. Perks refuse the gifts at first?
A. He thought the children had spent all money on him.
B. He hated surprises and preferred simple celebrations.
C. He mistook the gifts just for charity instead of thanks.
D. He hoped for some wonderful and unusual birthday gifts.
63. Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. The children hid. b. Mr. Perks accepted the gifts.
c. The children collected gifts. d. Mrs. Perks explained.
e. Mr. Perks shouted at the children.
A. a-c-e-b-d B. a-c-e-d-b
C. c-a-d-e-b D. c-a-e-d-b
64. What is the best title for this story?
A. Expensive gifts. B. Generous children.
C. A special celebration. D. A poor station worker.
【答案】60. B 61. C 62. C 63. D 64. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了孩子们和村民一起为善良热心的Perks先生筹备生日庆祝活动。起初Perks先生误以为大家是在施舍他而拒绝礼物,后来得知这是邻居们真诚的感谢后,感动地接受了大家的心意。
【60题详解】
根据第1段“The poorly paid station worker had always been kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Besides, he often fixed broken toys for the children.”中的关键词“kind to everyone”和“fixed broken toys”可知,Perks先生一直善待村民和孩子们,因此孩子们举办生日庆祝活动是为了回报他的善良。
【61题详解】
根据第1段“True kindness shows respect and should never make the receiver feel embarrassed.”以及后文Mr. Perks误以为大家是在施舍自己而感到生气可知,Mother认为真正的善意应该让接受者感受到尊重,而不是感到尴尬或不自在。选项C“Uncomfortable(不舒服的)”与之相符,
【62题详解】
根据第4段“I won’t accept charity!”中的关键词“charity”可知,Mr. Perks把这些礼物当成了别人对自己的施舍,而不是对自己长期帮助大家的感谢,因此拒绝接受。
【63题详解】
根据第2段“the children went around the village collecting small gifts”可知先收集礼物(c);根据第3段“the children quickly hid in the wash-house”可知接着躲起来(a);根据第4至10段内容可知Mr. Perks生气地责问孩子们(e);根据倒数第2段“Mrs. Perks cried, ‘They’re not pity gifts, dear. They’re thanks.’”可知Mrs. Perks解释真相(d);根据最后一段“can’t say no to kindness”可知最终接受礼物(b)。故顺序为c-a-e-d-b。
【64题详解】
通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了孩子们联合全村人为Perks先生举办生日庆祝活动的故事。从筹备礼物到误会产生,再到最终理解大家的感谢之情,都是围绕这次特别的生日庆祝展开的。选项C“A special celebration”最能概括文章内容。

八、阅读并完成相关任务(本题共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成相关任务。
You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way?
________
A beautiful shell
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. How long is it from your head to your belly button (肚脐眼) and how long is it from your belly button to your feet? The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. Even in Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. Li Bai once wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.” The number shows how fast Li Bai travelled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us the freedom to imagine.
Beauty in Curves (曲线)
Besides numbers, beauty can also be found in curves. Just like sine curves, they go to the two opposite directions and never stop. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the water moving slowly. The tangent curve is like a waterfall, which truly “plunges three thousand feet from on high”. If you do a math problem and get that curve, you’ll feel excited — and even have fun.
Beauty in Formulas (公式)
The number “e” is an irrational number (无理数). It goes on forever without repeating. “π” is also such an irrational number. However, when those two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number.
Is it surprising for you that many jobs need math? Photographers may use the golden ratio rule to take pictures. As for video game designers, they need to calculate the sizes and angles of every object to make things look real in the game world. They also need to use math to make a character run, jump, swim or fly.
So, what do you think of math now?
95. What does the writer think of math?

99. (I use maths) when I buy things in the supermarket.
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了数学中的数字、曲线、公式之美以及数学在生活和工作中的广泛应用,让人们重新认识数学。
【95题详解】
文章开头提出“You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way?”,随后通过黄金比例、曲线之美、公式之美以及数学在摄影和游戏设计中的应用,说明数学并不像人们认为的那样枯燥困难,而是充满美感和价值,因此作者认为数学是美丽的、有意义的,并不无聊。
【96题详解】
根据文章第二段“This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”结合图片中的贝壳可推知结论是黄金比例让贝壳看起来很美。
【97题详解】
根据文章第二段“Li Bai once wrote, ‘My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.’”可推知结论该句意为“轻舟已过万重山”。
【98题详解】
根据文章第二段“Even in Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers.”以及下文的小标题“Beauty in Curves (曲线)”和“Beauty in Formulas (公式)”可推知结论该段主要讲述数字之美,标题应与下文保持结构一致。
【99题详解】

【答案】
A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed
“A friend in need is a friend indeed” is a well-known saying that carries great wisdom. It tells us true friends will help us when we are in hard times, not just stay with us when everything goes well.
I remember once I failed a math exam and felt hopeless. My best friend, Tom, not only comforted me but also helped me review lessons every day. With his help, I improved greatly.
This experience taught me that sincere friendship is precious. We should always be ready to help others. I will cherish this friendship forever. Such friends make our life warmer and brighter.

Hi, DeepSeek. I’m Sarah, a teenage girl, and my parents always ask me to take classes on weekends. I tried to refuse, but they didn’t listen to me! I really want to leave for somewhere else! Do you think it works?
Deep thinking, in 10 seconds.
Now I need to give advice to a teenage girl, who tries to leave for somewhere angrily to run away from weekend classes. First, I should tell her that leaving home must be a wrong way. Next, I should suggest how to solve this problem in a right way. Also, I should try to comfort the girl so that she can calm down and make the right decisions.
Hi, there. I know how mad you feel but it won’t work.
1. Leaving Might Backfire
Leaving home can really risk your safety! You may end up in dangerous situations. For example, you may have to sleep in unsafe places or trust wrong people who may put you in trouble. Besides, running away won’t make parents focus on weekend classes. Instead, it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you out of fear. This will place more stress (压力) on you.
2. Try the Following Instead
If face-to-face talks always end up with arguments, a letter will help. In the letter, you can show your feelings—“Too many classes really make me stressed out.” Or you can offer another choice—“Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?” Also, if you find communication with your parents is really hard, ask a trusted aunt or a teacher to help express your opinions to them. They might listen to another adult. Change often takes time, so keep communicating in a right way.
Remember, your feelings are understandable, but your safety matters most. And if you keep feeling upset, turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or someone else you trust. There is always someone willing to listen to you.
52. How many steps does DeepSeek plan to take before it replies?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
53. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “Backfire”?
A. He realized that someone set a fire to his house and he lost everything.
B. If she takes the lessons that she enjoys, her eyes will just be full of fire.
C. They opened fire first! We must fire back to get a way out, or we’ll die!
D. Give up your silly plan because it won’t work and will add oil to the fire!
54. According to DeepSeek, what could Sarah say to her parents as another choice?
A. ”Could I not go to any class on weekends?”
B. ”I will leave home if you take me to any class.”
C. ”You can choose to be parents for another girl!”
D. ”Could I pick the weekend classes that I enjoy?”
55. From the underlined sentence, Deepseek wants Sarah to ________.
A. trust every real person she meets B. communicate with other real persons
C. talk with another AI like ChatGPT D. listen to someone else more carefully
C
Have you ever heard of or taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)? With 93 questions, the test separates all of the different people in the world into 16 types. There are many other personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. Some companies even use it to help choose suitable workers.
However, the MBTI can’t truly measure (衡量) changeable personality. The test, after all, was created in the early days of psychological (心理学的) research. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel, were not trained psychologists. What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. “There is just no evidence behind the MBTI.” said Adam Grant, an American psychologist.
If the MBTI is not trustable, then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and her daughter to create it in the first place. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Her daughter Isabel continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s and started using it among workers. Some personality tests would separate people into two groups: those who were good and those who were bad. However, Isable thought it was unfair. When creating her test, she wanted everyone to be able to understand that while people may be different from one another, they are all equal. This may be the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never paints a personality hopelessly.
The MBTI may not be the best way for measuring if a person is suitable for a position at a company, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge.
56. What can we learn about personality tests?
A. Over 1.5 million people take personality tests every year.
B. Companies use them to know more about workers’ hobbies.
C. They started to be used by people as early as the 1940s.
D. Some personality tests only separate people into two types.
57. The underlined word “evidence” means ________.
A. True facts. B. True supporters. C. Real competitions. D. Real success.
58. “The MBTI just offers that in a nice way” could best be placed at the end of ________.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
59. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise people to take the MBTI.
B. To tell why Briggs began the MBTI.
C. To show the popularity of the MBTI.
D. To make people know more about MBTI.
D
The children wanted to hold a birthday celebration for Mr. Perks. When sharing the idea with the villagers, everyone happily agreed to help. The villagers were willing to prepare their own gifts for him. The poorly paid station worker had always been kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Besides, he often fixed broken toys for the children. When Mother heard their plan, she agreed but reminded them, “True kindness shows respect and should never make the receiver feel embarrassed.”
Then the children went around the village collecting small gifts for Mr. Perks. Each villager remembered his kindness. When they brought the gifts to Mr. Perks’ little house, his wife cried happily, “This will be Perks’ best birthday!”
As Mr. Perks came home, the children quickly hid in the wash-house. Then Bobbie realized a big problem — she forgot to put names on each gift! Now Mr. Perks might think all the gifts were from the children. It seemed that they had spent all money on him to show off their generosity, exactly what Mother had warned them not to do.
Soon they heard the voice of Mr. Perks, loud and rather angry: “I won’t accept charity!” Then Mr. Perks found the children in the wash-house. He rushed to the door and pushed it open hard.
“Come out,” said Mr. Perks, “come out and tell me what you mean by it.”
“Oh!” said Phyllis, “I thought you’d be happy.”
“We didn’t mean any harm,” said Peter.
“But you did hurt me,” said Mr. Perks.
“These aren’t just from us,” Peter explained. “The whole village gave them because you’ve helped everyone!”
“Then why shame me before the whole village?” Mr. Perks shouted.
With shaking fingers, Bobbie pulled out the notes they’d prepared. She read them one by one: (1) From Mother: “Only giving some old clothes because Mr. Perks has been so kind; I can’t do much because we’re poor ourselves.” (2) From the Blacksmith: “Made this tool special for a respected man.” (3)….
Mrs. Perks cried, “They’re not pity gifts, dear. They’re thanks.”
After a long silence, Mr. Perks’ serious look softened. “Well… can’t say no to kindness,” he said quietly, “the kind respect of our neighbours is worth having, right?”
60. Why did the children celebrate Mr. Perks’ birthday?
A. To show off generosity. B. To give back his kindness.
C. To get gifts from villagers. D. To follow their mother’s plan.
61. What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean?
A. Excited. B. Cheerful. C. Uncomfortable. D. Impatient.
62. Why did Mr. Perks refuse the gifts at first?
A. He thought the children had spent all money on him.
B. He hated surprises and preferred simple celebrations.
C. He mistook the gifts just for charity instead of thanks.
D. He hoped for some wonderful and unusual birthday gifts.
63. Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. The children hid. b. Mr. Perks accepted the gifts.
c. The children collected gifts. d. Mrs. Perks explained.
e. Mr. Perks shouted at the children.
A. a-c-e-b-d B. a-c-e-d-b
C. c-a-d-e-b D. c-a-e-d-b
64. What is the best title for this story?
A. Expensive gifts. B. Generous children.
C. A special celebration. D. A poor station worker.

You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way?
________
A beautiful shell
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. How long is it from your head to your belly button (肚脐眼) and how long is it from your belly button to your feet? The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. Even in Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. Li Bai once wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.” The number shows how fast Li Bai travelled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us the freedom to imagine.
Beauty in Curves (曲线)
Besides numbers, beauty can also be found in curves. Just like sine curves, they go to the two opposite directions and never stop. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the water moving slowly. The tangent curve is like a waterfall, which truly “plunges three thousand feet from on high”. If you do a math problem and get that curve, you’ll feel excited — and even have fun.
Beauty in Formulas (公式)
The number “e” is an irrational number (无理数). It goes on forever without repeating. “π” is also such an irrational number. However, when those two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number.
Is it surprising for you that many jobs need math? Photographers may use the golden ratio rule to take pictures. As for video game designers, they need to calculate the sizes and angles of every object to make things look real in the game world. They also need to use math to make a character run, jump, swim or fly.
