People of all ages are willing to v 1 their time to help others. Last weekend, I joined a volunteer group to help the old people in the nursing home. We b 2 some flowers and fruits for them. When we arrived, the old people were very happy to see us. We talked with them and listened to their stories. Some of them told us about their past experiences. We also helped them c 3 their rooms and wash their clothes. After that, we put on a small show for them. We sang songs and danced. The old people laughed and cheered happily. I felt very tired after the activity, but I also felt very happy. I learned that helping others can bring us a lot of j 4 . It also makes us more responsible and k 5 . Volunteering is not only good for the people we help, but also good for o 6 . It gives us a chance to make new friends and learn new skills. It also helps us u 7 the world better. I hope more and more people will j 8 the volunteer group. If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a b 9 place. Let’s work t 10 to make our world more beautiful. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 I grew up with two elder sisters. If I wasn’t courteous (谦恭的) to them, they’d fix me. My sisters made the most of every chance to t 1 me how to be a courteous gentleman. They made me open doors for them or help them into their chairs at dinner. Years later, I went away to college. The first time I walked into the library, I noticed a woman walking b 2 me and I held the door open for her. However, she glared (怒视) at me, asking loudly, “Do you think that because I’m a woman, I’m not strong e 3 to open a door for myself?” She slammed the door, leaving me surprised and speechless. My face burnt. I d 4 that there would be no more courtesy! As I stood there, another lady came towards the door. Seeing her arms overloaded with textbooks, I instinctively (本能地) reached out to open the door for her. The moment I realized w 5 I had done, I prepared myself for shouts. But I received a warm smile and a look of relief. “T 6 !” she said brightly. “It is nice to see we still have a few gentlemen around here!” Of course, if I were really a gentleman, I would have offered to help with her books. I still enjoyed the good 7 I got from performing an act of simple courtesy. It would go against my lifetime of training i 8 I didn’t do that. Courtesy brings pleasant and refreshing light to our lives whether we are the giver, the r 9 or just an interested observer (旁观者). Courtesy doesn’t necessarily (必然地) change our lives, but it can c 10 change the way we feel about life. Sometimes it’s just a simple nice action to others, but it can make a great day. When most cities shine brightly at night, Shenzhen has chosen to turn off its lights for migratory birds (候鸟). This decision is widely p 1 . Recently, some visitors noticed that Shenzhen Bay Park was dark at night. Shenzhen Bay lies on an important bird migration route (路线). Every winter, thousands of migratory birds s 2 here during their long journeys. Too much light can disrupt (扰乱) their natural habits or even scare them away. To care for these lovely g 3 from the north, the park turns off lights. This does not mean the park is completely d 4 . To keep people safe, basic lighting remains in key areas such as main entrances, crossroads, and important walkways. This balanced action shows a wise and t 5 way to run a city. As early as 2023, Shenzhen introduced rules to control light p 6 . For example, in the area around the mangroves (红树林), cold blue-white lights have been replaced (替换) with w 7 yellow ones that disturb birds less. Thanks to these efforts, the number of bird species in Shenzhen’s mangrove parks has r 8 from 83 to 220 over the past few years. What makes this story special is the voice of the public. Many people agree that making space for nature is the right c 9 . This shows a growing awareness (意识) that a truly livable city is not just bright and busy, but also peaceful and balanced. Shenzhen is not a 10 . Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also taken steps to cut down light pollution during migration seasons. In the end, turning off lights for birds is not just about protecting animals—it proves that a city can be modern and eco-friendly at the same time. 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda (昭关石塔) is a famous landmark in Xijin Ferry, Zhenjiang.

According to a well-known local story, in ancient times, the river near Xijin Ferry was very dangerous b 5 the waves were wild and the storms came without warning.

Let’s break it down letter by letter, and you will find the spirit of our country. C stands for “confident”(自信的).

This confidence comes from thousands of years of civilization(文明), and it helps us keep moving f 2 bravely. H stands for “h 3 ”. China has a long history of over five thousand years. It is one of the oldest civilizations in the whole world, and it is the only ancient civilization that can survive and c 4 to this day. Our history is full of great stories, wise thoughts, and amazing traditions, which make us p 5 of who we are. I stands for “intelligent”(智慧的). As we all know, Chinese people are full of wisdom. The four great i 6 of ancient China—— paper-making, printing, the compass(指南针), and gunpowder—— changed the whole world. Even today, we always find c 7 ways to make breakthroughs(突破) and solve problems. N stands for “noble”(高尚的).

But every year there is more suffering in the news. With so many charities, how can they get enough money? Charity is not a modern idea. Over the years people have found new and interesting ways to get the money they need. In 3500 BC King Hammurabi of Babylon encouraged his people to share their wealth with their poorest neighbors. In the 1970s more people had TVs, so charities made films of suffering children and brought the world problems straight into people’s homes. The 1980s was a time of big business, so charities became more business-like: they made money by making and selling everything. In the 1990s, as celebrities like Claudia Schiffer and Michael Jordan earned millions for major companies, charities began to use famous people. For example, Sting organized music events for the Rainforest Foundation, raising over $10 million with other singers to protect rainforest communities. Today, charities are using the “personal touch” to earn money. People give more when they can see their money working in the area they live in, and when they have a personal relationship with the charity. Some people never give money to charities. They say that their money cannot solve these problems. This is true, but most people know that a little help is better than none. Look closely at charity work and you will see that everyone can do something to make our world better. Charities Big business In 2025, people 1 about 151 billion yuan for charity in China.

Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the little ones and adults? Volunteering as a family may be just the thing you need. You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with helping others, but there are even more unexpected ways that volunteering will positively affect the whole family. -You’ll feel like you have more time.

For adults, volunteering can provide significant physical health benefits. Washington University found that adults 55 and older who volunteered had better memory and maintained overall health longer than others their age. Volunteers are also more likely to look after their own health and are more focused on adding physical activity into their lives. -You can meet a better self if you volunteer during teenage years. Volunteering during teenage years has been linked with some major positive effects such as better grades and increased self-confidence. These effects aren’t just for a short time but have been proved to affect a teen’s life in the years to come. -You’ll enjoy more time with family. Families who volunteer together have the unique experience of working toward a common goal. You may even learn that your kid has a talent you didn’t know about before. Everyone brings something unique to the table and can connect with each other in a new way. And, there are tasks for every age and ability, so all your children can take pride in their work.

Different from long summer and winter holidays, the spring break is a short but meaningful vacation in spring, usually lasting for two to three days. This year, in many areas of Jiangsu and Sichuan, there was a longer holiday of up to six days because of the Qingming Festival. During the break, students are encouraged to get close to nature, go on family trips, read more books or develop hobbies. Teachers often give light or no homework, allowing students to relax both body and mind. Some schools also design special spring-themed tasks, such as studying plants, recording spring scenes or drawing pictures. They change the outdoor world into a lively classroom. However, the spring break also brings new problems. Many working parents are too busy with their jobs to look after their children during the break. To solve this problem, some schools organize volunteer programmes, sports activities and interest clubs. More schools invite teachers or experts to provide professional (专业的) courses for students. In fact, the spring break is designed to help students keep their study and rest balanced. People hope it can reduce pressure (压力) from heavy study and make school life more colourful. It lets families avoid crowds of people when travelling. Therefore, people can enjoy a better travel experience in a more comfortable way.

A lion runs after a deer! A snake bites a frog! Is all nature like that? All about hunting and fighting? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some animals that protect themselves in smart ways instead of fighting back. The first and most common trick is camouflage. Camouflage is when an animal changes its color or shape to match the environment around it, so enemies cannot find it easily. For example, chameleons can change their skin color to match the leaves or tree trunks. This helps them hide from both enemies and prey. The second trick is mimicry. Sometimes an animal will look just like another dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies away. This is called mimicry. For example, some non-poisonous butterflies have the same bright color patterns as poisonous ones. Enemies see the bright colors and stay away, thinking they are dangerous. The third trick is group living. Some animals live in large groups to protect themselves. When there are many of them, they can watch for enemies together and help each other escape. For example, zebras live in groups. When a lion comes, the whole group runs together, and the stripes make it hard for the lion to pick out one single zebra. We use the word “anti-predator strategies” for all of these kinds of ways. Sometimes an animal hides by itself. Sometimes it scares enemies away by looking like something dangerous. Sometimes it works together with others. So, it is nice to know that there are so many smart ways for animals to stay safe in the wild. We could pay more attention to the animals that do not always fight on TV. Nature’s Amazing Survival Tricks What are anti-predator strategies? ·All animals in nature need to 1 themselves from enemies. ·Different smart ways that animals use to stay safe are called anti-predator strategies. Camouflage: Hide by Blending In ·An animal changes its color or shape to match the 2 around it. ·It hides itself so enemies can 3 find it easily. Example: Chameleons Mimicry: Scare by Looking Dangerous ·An animal 4 a dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies. ·Enemies 5 the animal as dangerous and stay away from it. Group Living: Stay Safe Together ·Animals live in groups to watch for enemies and 6 each other escape. ·Large groups make it hard for enemies to 7 out a single animal. Example: Zebras Why do these strategies matter? These smart survival tricks help keep ecosystems in 8 . Share one example from your own life experience based on these survival tricks in at least 20 words. 9 任务型阅读注意：1-8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” It seems that I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that about 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude (感谢) toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word uses electricity, the bill must be high. Open AI’s CEO Sam Altman replied, “Tens of millions of dollars well spent—you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not value politeness: they lack feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) viewpoint, all those pleases and thank-yous are just a waste of money. Still, there may be value that is not easy to measure in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment (实验) in which they divided people into three groups, asking the first to list things they were grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept diaries. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher levels of happiness, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Studies at UC Riverside found that doing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced increases in happiness over time. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular (经常性的) kind acts, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue (美德) into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank-yous to AI have value, even if they cost Open AI millions of dollars annually. Showing gratitude, even toward a machine, strengthens positive habits of politeness, patience and understanding. In our increasingly digital and technology-driven world, protecting these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. In the end, the one who benefits from our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.                Why being polite to AI still 1 . Research 2 According to a survey 3 out in the USA, 67% of AI users say thanks to AI chatbots. Against it It is just a waste of money! ● AI chatbots are not 4 of politeness because of their lack of feelings and social needs. For it It is a great help! ● There may be value that it’s 5 to measure when we show thanks to AI. ● Showing gratitude toward AI led to a 25% 6 in happiness, as well as stronger inner strength and better physical health. ● Doing regular kind acts helped form 7 good habits. Conclusion Being polite to AI does not benefit the machine; positive habits of politeness, patience, and understanding are more 8 to ourselves. Further thinking Middle school students use AI chatbots a lot. How do you use it in your daily life? (不少于20词) 9 三、完形填空 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Lily used to be a shy girl.

Today, there are still craftspeople who 1 this ancient skill. 72-year-old Li Hong is one of them. “I learned papermaking from my father when I was 15,” he said. “At that time, almost every family in the village made paper by hand. But now this old skill is facing the risk of disappearing.” By 2020, there were fewer than 10 villagers who could still make handmade bamboo paper. However, the 2 for this ancient art never fades. More young people are starting to learn the skill and bring new ideas to it. The public don’t 3 want it to survive — they want it to shine in modern times. Li’s granddaughter, Li Xiao, came back to the village after college. She 4 the idea of combining handmade paper with creative cultural products.

When she introduces the process to visitors, she talks about every step 7 , instead of just showing the finished products. Thanks to their efforts, handmade paper has found its way back to people’s daily lives. It brings people closer to traditional culture and a chance to 8 to the slow way of life. “Handmade paper carries the temperature of time,” Li Xiao said. “We don’t want it to be just a(n) 9 in the museum. We want it to be something people can use and feel in daily life.” The village now holds papermaking experience activities every weekend. Tourists can try making paper by themselves and take their works home. It helps more people understand the beauty of this craft and 10 traditional culture to more generations. 1．A．create B．keep C．change D．copy 2．A．love B．need C．plan D．search 3．A．easily B．nearly C．simply D．wisely 4．A．put up with B．came up with C．caught up with D．kept up with 5．A．worried B．disappointed C．changed D．satisfied 6．A．process B．product C．program D．project 7．A．in danger B．in fact C．in detail D．in surprise 8．A．return B．compare C．connect D．contribute 9．A．tool B．exhibit C．picture D．model 10．A．pass on B．take on C．put on D．hold on 四、阅读理解 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?” 1．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. 2．What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean? A．Excited. B．Cheerful.

C．He mistook the gifts just for charity instead of thanks. D．He hoped for some wonderful and unusual birthday gifts. 4．Which of the following shows the right order of the story? a.

Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off, everything got in quiet. I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her, and I surely felt sorry for myself. Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky. And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car window. An old sign that said: REWARD (酬谢) $500. And under that was a picture of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out. And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY. Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that little dog? “Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall. Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat. “Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I asked. Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school tomorrow.” I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing. What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car. But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn't even know where to look for it. Besides, that sign was old. somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that five hundred dollars. I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs. And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh—.” I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to myself. I had a plan… 1．Where did the writer and her family live?

Today, many of these rules are not as strict as before. However, some are still followed on important occasions(场合) and are thought of as good examples of good manners. Walking Etiquette ① In ancient China, while walking with someone with a higher status(地位) or an old person, one should lower one’s head, bend down, and walk a little bit behind them. If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle. One should bow down and walk fast using smaller steps when passing by an elder or a teacher. Sitting Etiquette and Seating Rules ② Everyone should be sitting in a proper position at dining tables. It is based on their titles, ranks, or age. If someone doesn’t know the exact position, they should wait and follow the host’s lead. The best seat is the one that faces the east or the door. Hosts usually sit facing the west. Bow, and Fist-and-Palm Salute(抱拳) ③ Bow, in Chinese Yi Li or Zuo Yi, means having their hands folded in front in different ways. Today, however, the simplest Zuo Yi gesture is good enough, as well as nodding, smiling, and handshaking. ④ The Fist-and-Palm Salute, is another type of Yi Li, with the fist’s right hand covered by the left hand. It first appeared in the army when people held weapons(武器) while showing respect to others. So people always use the left hand to cover the right hand that holds weapons. 1．In ancient China, which place should your teacher be when walking with you and your classmate? A．In the middle.

Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t see. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingers. How do you feel then? With medical knowledge and skills today, 2/3 of the world’s 42 million blind people should not have to stand this illness. Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge, but developing countries do not. ORBIS is an international charitable organization (国际慈善组织). Its goal is to help fight blindness all over the world. Inside a DC-8 airplane, there is a teaching hospital with television room and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest skills of helping the blind get sight again here. ORBIS is always trying to keep a closer relation among countries. ORBIS helps those developing countries by providing sight-saving training. It has taught over 35,000 doctors and nurses. They continue to treat thousands of blind people every year. They have traveled around the earth 3 times, visited 76 countries and treated over 20,000 blind people. They need your help to continue their work and free people from blindness. For just $ 38, you can help one person see; for $380, 10 people can see; $1,200 helps train a doctor new skills; and for $13,000, you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your love can help them open their eyes to the world. 1．How many blind people should not have to suffer from this illness with medical knowledge and skills today? A．14 million. B．42 million. C．28 million. D．200 million. 2．A lot of blind people in the world have to stand this illness because ________. A．ORBIS didn’t do its best to offer help B．there is no good medical knowledge and skills in the world C．some countries do not have such medical knowledge and skills D．developing countries don’t pay much attention to the blind 3．According to this passage, ORBIS helps fight blindness by doing the following EXCEPT ________. A．selling medicine to raise money B．providing sight-saving training C．treating thousands of blind people every year D．trying to keep closer relations among countries 4．What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A．How much a training programme for a group of doctors costs. B．Why ORBIS needs to continue its work. C．Who can make thousands of blind people see again. D．What you can do to help blind people open their eyes. You might see everything you see or hear on the Internet makes you more sure of what you already think. If this happens, be careful! You might be in something called an information cocoon (茧房)——a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. This isn’t something new. Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They connect people all over the world. But just like the old campfire, they also let people share and hear the ideas they already like. ① You might have noticed that social media ads seem to know what you like. This happens because of a computer program called algorithms (算法). Algorithms are like sets of rules that help computers do things. Every time you click (点击) likes or share something, you leave a “digital footprint (数字脚印)”. This helps algorithms learn what you like. Then they show you more of the same kind of content (内容). ② Information cocoons can make you feel good, but they also have some bad results. ③ When you only see similar opinions, it’s hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments (争论) and worries among people. This often makes different groups in society disagree with or do not trust each other even more. ④ The good news is that there are ways to break out of the information cocoon. One important thing is to look for different kinds of information. Also, it’s important to learn how to think critically (批判地). This means checking the facts and being open to changing your mind. By doing these things, you can break out of the information cocoon and see a wider world! 1．Why does the writer talk about “ancient campfire” in Paragraph 2? A．To encourage people to spend much more free time outdoors. B．To show that people always like sharing similar ideas in groups. C．To suggest that technology has made talking with others worse. D．To show why life in the past was more interesting than it is today. 2．According to the passage, a “digital footprint” is ________. A．a fun thing to play on the Internet B．something secret in your computer C．a number you use to enter a website D．a record of what you click or share online 3．We can put the sentence “This is why we need to solve this problem.” in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What does the writer think of the information cocoon? A．It is not good or bad, just a fact. B．It is hard to tell if it is good or bad. C．It is a problem and we should try to break it. D．It is good because it makes people feel happy. Pip meets a stranger My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only manage to say Pip. So Pip was what everybody called me. I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me, and married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died when I was a baby, so I could not remember them at all, but quite often I used to visit the churchyard, about a mile from the village, to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). My first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that churchyard one cold, grey, December afternoon, looking out at the dark, flat, wild marshes divided by the black line of the River Thames, and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the distance. “Don’t say a word!” cried a terrible voice, as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of me. “If you shout, I’ll cut your throat (喉咙)!” He was a big man, dressed all in grey, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. His clothes were wet and torn. He looked tired, and hungry, and very fierce (凶狠的). I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t cut my throat, sir!” I begged in fear. “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. Nothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old bread. He ate it in two bites, like a dog, and put me back on the gravestone. “So where are your father and mother?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and was about to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “I see. They’re dead. Well, who do you live with, if I let you live, which I haven’t decided yet?” “With my sister, sir, wife of Joe Gargery, the Blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me by both arms and stared (注视) fiercely down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file. You know what that is? And you bring me some food. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” I answered. I was badly scared and my whole body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, smiling unpleasantly,” I travel with a young man, a friend of mine, who roasts boys’ hearts and eats them. He’ll find you, wherever you are, and he’ll have your heart. So bring the file and the food to that wooden shelter over there, early tomorrow morning, if you want to keep your heart, that is. Remember, you promised!” I watched him turn and walk with difficulty across the marshes, the chain hanging clumsily around his leg. Then I ran home as fast as I could. — Taken from Great Expectations 1．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1? A．What Pip liked to do in the village at present.

At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic (同情的) heart. She had two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha, had married. A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and patched. But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ② Once, while serving him,Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark (污点) on the customer’s fingers. ③ She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (阁楼), where he painted pictures, ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④ Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台). No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later, the customer came in. “Two loaves of stalebread, if you please.” “You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread. “Yes?” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture?” “The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透视画法) of it is not true. Goodbye, madam. ” He took his bread, bowed and hurried out. Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge perspective at a quick look and to live on stale bread. But talented people often have to go through difficulties before they succeed. What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery and a sympathetic heart. But these were daydreams. Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride (骄傲) of artists. (To be continued） 1．We can put the sentence “Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in ________ A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 2．Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter? A．To test if the customer was an artist. B．To sell the painting to help the poor artist. C．To show her personal art collection and taste. D．To decorate the shop and attract more customers. 3．How does the writer mainly develop the story? A．By describing the setting in great detail. B．By showing scenes between two locations. C．By using long dialogues between characters. D．By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings. 4．What might happen later according to the last paragraph of the story? A．Miss Martha would offer the man stale bread for free. B．Miss Martha would lend some of her money to the man. C．Miss Martha would secretly add something to the stale bread.

Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations. China is getting really serious about waste now. We are importing less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste-to-energy factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or wastewater will be released into the environment. The Chinese government is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are developing the habit of separating their waste. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．telling stories B．making comparisons C．raising questions D．giving suggestions 2．The underlined word “sustainable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________ ” in Chinese.

A．24 kinds of waste have been stopped entering from China for years B．all the people are forming the habit of separating waste in China C．no harmful gases or water will be able to get into the environment D．China is paying more and more attention to the waste at present 4．The structure of the passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． If your homepage keeps showing you “colour walk” posts lately, you might be wondering: Is this another trend (趋势) that needs an expensive coffee and a camera better than my phone? Good news: A colour walk costs nothing, and the only things you need are your eyes and your phone. What exactly is a “colour walk”? It’s a simple, small adventure where you choose one colour and let it guide you around your neighbourhood. Pick green, and suddenly you are following trees, shop signs, traffic lights, and that stranger’s bright green trainers. Choose pink and you’ll start noticing cherry flowers, different packages, or a happy hair clip on the ground. The aim is to collect a “colour story”—a set of photos that shows two things: the world is full of colours, and you were paying attention. By focusing on one colour, you train your brain to notice small things you would usually miss. Most of the time, we walk in a fixed way: school—homework—phones—sleep—repeat. Colour walks change this habit. They are like moving relaxation, helping you feel better, reducing stress, and making you care more about your surroundings. They slowly help your brain calm down and even turn it into a fun “treasure hunt” mode. But the treasure is just an everyday red postbox, and finding it feels surprisingly nice. Spring is the best season for it. Everything looks like it is in a beauty contest: fresh green leaves, soft pink flowers, golden sunlight, and colours everywhere. Even a road you have walked many times can feel new when you are looking for one special colour. So, pick a colour. If you are a beginner, start with something easy like green. If you want a challenge, choose a harder colour like purple. Walk around and try different things: nature, buildings, objects and shadows. You can even make fun rules, like only taking photos of circles, only looking up, or only taking pictures of small things. It is your own colour story! A colour walk cannot solve all your problems or reduce exam stress, but it can make an afternoon brighter, calmer, and more enjoyable. 1．What do you need for a colour walk? A．A camera and a dear coffee. B．A phone and special tools. C．Your eyes and a phone. D．A guide and a hair clip. 2．What will you do when you choose one colour during a colour walk? A．Walk faster to enjoy cherry flowers. B．Begin to notice things of that colour. C．Forget about your surroundings quickly. D．Take more photos of different colours. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A colour walk. B．A phone. C．A treasure. D．A story. 4．Which of the following best describes a colour walk? A．Simple and relaxing. B．Expensive and difficult. C．Boring and tiring. D．Stressful and challenging. We often consider the city a stressful place. Crowded streets, expensive housing, all kinds of pollution, and a weak sense of community are just a few reasons people may feel this way about city life. Because of this, many people dream of moving to the countryside for a slower pace of life and a closer connection to nature. But what if we look at cities in a new way—not as the opposite of nature, but as a new kind of nature? At first, this idea may sound strange, but it makes us ask two important questions: What is “nature”? And what is “city”? Many people think nature can be found only in mountains and forests. However, it can also be found in every corner of a city—along a riverbank, in a small park, on a balcony, or in the songs of birds in the trees. In fact, many of our city “neighbors” are animals. In Europe and North America, for example, squirrels are now more common in cities than in forests. As the dividing line between city and nature becomes blurred, some city designers suggest that we need to start seeing cities as ecosystems (生态系统) for all living things, not just humans. An ecosystem includes both living things (like humans, animals, and plants) and non-living things (like air, water, buildings, and roads). In such a system, everything is connected. Humans and other things share the same space, and our actions influence one another. When we design future cities, we should take every part of this ecosystem into consideration. Nature is not only “out there” in faraway places. It is also right here, beside us. If we treat the city as nature, we will stop asking where nature begins and start asking how to live better in it. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Nature only appears in mountains and forests. B．Squirrels are less common in European cities than in forests. C．An ecosystem only includes living things like animals and plants. D．Nature can also be found on a balcony or in a park in a city. 2．What does the underlined word “blurred” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Unclear. B．Strange. C．Clear. D．Straight. 3．What can we learn about the design of future cities from the passage? A．It should only consider human needs. B．It should treat cities as ecosystems for all living and non-living things. C．It should separate cities from nature completely. D．It should build fewer buildings and more forests. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To list the environmental problems of city life. B．To explain why forests have more animals than cities. C．To introduce a new way of seeing cities as a part of nature. D．To tell readers that everyone should move to the countryside. 五、书面表达 1．假设你是李华，你的学校将在6月22日至26日举办“绿色校园周（Green Campus Week）”活动。请给你的英国笔友Tom写一封电子邮件，介绍活动安排，并邀请他提出建议。活动内容：   ● 周一：环保讲座   ● 周二：清理校园   ● 周三：废旧物品手工制作比赛   ● 周四：节约能源挑战   ● 周五：成果展示 要求： 1. 包含所给要点，可适当发挥；   2. 词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；   3. 文中不得出现真实姓名、校名。 Dear Tom, How is everything going?

They made me open doors for them or help them into their chairs at dinner. Years later, I went away to college. The first time I walked into the library, I noticed a woman walking b 2 me and I held the door open for her. However, she glared (怒视) at me, asking loudly, “Do you think that because I’m a woman, I’m not strong e 3 to open a door for myself?” She slammed the door, leaving me surprised and speechless. My face burnt. I d 4 that there would be no more courtesy! As I stood there, another lady came towards the door. Seeing her arms overloaded with textbooks, I instinctively (本能地) reached out to open the door for her. The moment I realized w 5 I had done, I prepared myself for shouts. But I received a warm smile and a look of relief. “T 6 !” she said brightly. “It is nice to see we still have a few gentlemen around here!” Of course, if I were really a gentleman, I would have offered to help with her books. I still enjoyed the good 7 I got from performing an act of simple courtesy. It would go against my lifetime of training i 8 I didn’t do that. Courtesy brings pleasant and refreshing light to our lives whether we are the giver, the r 9 or just an interested observer (旁观者).

This decision is widely p 1 . Recently, some visitors noticed that Shenzhen Bay Park was dark at night. Shenzhen Bay lies on an important bird migration route (路线). Every winter, thousands of migratory birds s 2 here during their long journeys. Too much light can disrupt (扰乱) their natural habits or even scare them away. To care for these lovely g 3 from the north, the park turns off lights. This does not mean the park is completely d 4 . To keep people safe, basic lighting remains in key areas such as main entrances, crossroads, and important walkways. This balanced action shows a wise and t 5 way to run a city. As early as 2023, Shenzhen introduced rules to control light p 6 . For example, in the area around the mangroves (红树林), cold blue-white lights have been replaced (替换) with w 7 yellow ones that disturb birds less. Thanks to these efforts, the number of bird species in Shenzhen’s mangrove parks has r 8 from 83 to 220 over the past few years. What makes this story special is the voice of the public. Many people agree that making space for nature is the right c 9 . This shows a growing awareness (意识) that a truly livable city is not just bright and busy, but also peaceful and balanced. Shenzhen is not a 10 . Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also taken steps to cut down light pollution during migration seasons. In the end, turning off lights for birds is not just about protecting animals—it proves that a city can be modern and eco-friendly at the same time. 【答案】 1．praised/raised 2．stay/tay 3．guests/uests 4．dark/ark 5．thoughtful/houghtful 6．pollution/ollution 7．warm/arm 8．risen/isen 9．choice/hoice 10．alone/lone 【导语】本文主要介绍了深圳为保护迁徙候鸟而主动熄灯的做法，展现了城市在现代化发展与生态保护之间的平衡，也体现了公众环保意识的提升。 1．句意：当大多数城市在夜晚灯火通明时，深圳却选择为候鸟熄灯，这一决定广受赞誉。根据首字母p及上文“turn off its lights for migratory birds”可知，这一做法是值得称赞的，praise意为“称赞”，主语decision与动词为被动关系，此处用过去分词praised。 2．句意：每年冬天，成千上万的候鸟在长途迁徙途中会在此停留。根据首字母s及语境，候鸟在迁徙途中会暂时停留，stay意为“停留”，句子为一般现在时，主语为复数，用动词原形。 3．句意：为了照顾这些来自北方的可爱“客人”，公园熄灭了灯光。根据首字母g及上下文，候鸟被拟人化地称为“客人”，此处用复数形式guests，符合语境。 4．句意：这并不意味着公园完全黑暗。根据首字母d及下文“basic lighting remains”可知，公园并非完全无光，dark意为“黑暗的”，形容词作表语。 5．句意：这种平衡的做法体现了一种明智而周到的城市治理方式。根据首字母t及上文“balanced action shows a wise and...”可知，这种做法是经过深思熟虑的，thoughtful意为“体贴的、考虑周全的”，符合句意。 6．句意：早在2023年，深圳就出台了控制光污染的规定。根据首字母p及上文“control light...”可知，指的是光污染，pollution意为“污染”，不可数名词符合句意。 7．句意：冷蓝白光被替换为对鸟类干扰更小的暖黄光。根据首字母w及上下文，与“cold blue-white”相对的是暖色调的光，warm意为“温暖的”，形容词修饰名词，符合句意。 8．句意：过去几年间，深圳红树林公园的鸟类种类从83种增加到220种。根据首字母r及“from 83 to 220”可知，数量上升了，rise意为“上升”，现在完成时使用过去分词risen。 9．句意：许多人认为为自然留出空间是正确的选择。根据首字母c及上文“right...”可知，这是一种正确的选择，choice意为“选择”，符合句意。 10．句意：深圳并非个例。根据首字母a及下文“Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also...”可知，其他城市也有类似做法，深圳不是单独的，alone意为“独自的、单独的”，作表语，符合句意。 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda (昭关石塔) is a famous landmark in Xijin Ferry, Zhenjiang.

In 2025 about 151 billion yuan was raised for charity in China. But every year there is more suffering in the news. With so many charities, how can they get enough money? Charity is not a modern idea. Over the years people have found new and interesting ways to get the money they need. In 3500 BC King Hammurabi of Babylon encouraged his people to share their wealth with their poorest neighbors. In the 1970s more people had TVs, so charities made films of suffering children and brought the world problems straight into people’s homes. The 1980s was a time of big business, so charities became more business-like: they made money by making and selling everything. In the 1990s, as celebrities like Claudia Schiffer and Michael Jordan earned millions for major companies, charities began to use famous people. For example, Sting organized music events for the Rainforest Foundation, raising over $10 million with other singers to protect rainforest communities. Today, charities are using the “personal touch” to earn money. People give more when they can see their money working in the area they live in, and when they have a personal relationship with the charity. Some people never give money to charities. They say that their money cannot solve these problems. This is true, but most people know that a little help is better than none. Look closely at charity work and you will see that everyone can do something to make our world better. Charities Big business In 2025, people 1 about 151 billion yuan for charity in China.

Because a little help is better than none.本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 根据短文内容，完成下面的表格,每空一词. Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?

Different from long summer and winter holidays, the spring break is a short but meaningful vacation in spring, usually lasting for two to three days. This year, in many areas of Jiangsu and Sichuan, there was a longer holiday of up to six days because of the Qingming Festival. During the break, students are encouraged to get close to nature, go on family trips, read more books or develop hobbies. Teachers often give light or no homework, allowing students to relax both body and mind. Some schools also design special spring-themed tasks, such as studying plants, recording spring scenes or drawing pictures. They change the outdoor world into a lively classroom. However, the spring break also brings new problems. Many working parents are too busy with their jobs to look after their children during the break. To solve this problem, some schools organize volunteer programmes, sports activities and interest clubs. More schools invite teachers or experts to provide professional (专业的) courses for students. In fact, the spring break is designed to help students keep their study and rest balanced. People hope it can reduce pressure (压力) from heavy study and make school life more colourful.

A lion runs after a deer! A snake bites a frog! Is all nature like that? All about hunting and fighting? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some animals that protect themselves in smart ways instead of fighting back. The first and most common trick is camouflage. Camouflage is when an animal changes its color or shape to match the environment around it, so enemies cannot find it easily. For example, chameleons can change their skin color to match the leaves or tree trunks. This helps them hide from both enemies and prey. The second trick is mimicry. Sometimes an animal will look just like another dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies away. This is called mimicry. For example, some non-poisonous butterflies have the same bright color patterns as poisonous ones. Enemies see the bright colors and stay away, thinking they are dangerous. The third trick is group living. Some animals live in large groups to protect themselves. When there are many of them, they can watch for enemies together and help each other escape. For example, zebras live in groups. When a lion comes, the whole group runs together, and the stripes make it hard for the lion to pick out one single zebra. We use the word “anti-predator strategies” for all of these kinds of ways. Sometimes an animal hides by itself. Sometimes it scares enemies away by looking like something dangerous. Sometimes it works together with others. So, it is nice to know that there are so many smart ways for animals to stay safe in the wild. We could pay more attention to the animals that do not always fight on TV. Nature’s Amazing Survival Tricks What are anti-predator strategies? ·All animals in nature need to 1 themselves from enemies. ·Different smart ways that animals use to stay safe are called anti-predator strategies. Camouflage: Hide by Blending In ·An animal changes its color or shape to match the 2 around it. ·It hides itself so enemies can 3 find it easily. Example: Chameleons Mimicry: Scare by Looking Dangerous ·An animal 4 a dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies. ·Enemies 5 the animal as dangerous and stay away from it. Group Living: Stay Safe Together ·Animals live in groups to watch for enemies and 6 each other escape. ·Large groups make it hard for enemies to 7 out a single animal. Example: Zebras Why do these strategies matter? These smart survival tricks help keep ecosystems in 8 . Share one example from your own life experience based on these survival tricks in at least 20 words. 9 【答案】1．protect 2．environment 3．not 4．copies 5．see/treat 6．help 7．pick 8．balance 9．When I played hide-and-seek with my friends, I once hid behind a green bush in dark green clothes.

When a lion comes, the whole group runs together, and the stripes make it hard for the lion to pick out one single zebra”，群居时天敌很难从群体中挑出单个目标，原文原词短语pick out表“挑出”，to后接动词原形。故填pick。 8．结合全文逻辑，这些生存策略帮助维持生态系统平衡，固定搭配in balance表“平衡”，故填balance。 9．开放性试题，答案结合文中伪装、拟态、群居其中一种自保技巧，结合自身生活经历写作，词数不少于20词即可。参考答案为：When I played hide-and-seek with my friends, I once hid behind a green bush in dark green clothes. Just like camouflage, my color matched the environment so well that no one found me for a long time. 任务型阅读注意：1-8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” It seems that I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that about 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude (感谢) toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word uses electricity, the bill must be high. Open AI’s CEO Sam Altman replied, “Tens of millions of dollars well spent—you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not value politeness: they lack feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) viewpoint, all those pleases and thank-yous are just a waste of money. Still, there may be value that is not easy to measure in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment (实验) in which they divided people into three groups, asking the first to list things they were grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept diaries. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher levels of happiness, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Studies at UC Riverside found that doing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced increases in happiness over time. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular (经常性的) kind acts, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue (美德) into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank-yous to AI have value, even if they cost Open AI millions of dollars annually. Showing gratitude, even toward a machine, strengthens positive habits of politeness, patience and understanding. In our increasingly digital and technology-driven world, protecting these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. In the end, the one who benefits from our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.                Why being polite to AI still 1 . Research 2 According to a survey 3 out in the USA, 67% of AI users say thanks to AI chatbots. Against it It is just a waste of money! ● AI chatbots are not 4 of politeness because of their lack of feelings and social needs. For it It is a great help! ● There may be value that it’s 5 to measure when we show thanks to AI. ● Showing gratitude toward AI led to a 25% 6 in happiness, as well as stronger inner strength and better physical health. ● Doing regular kind acts helped form 7 good habits. Conclusion Being polite to AI does not benefit the machine; positive habits of politeness, patience, and understanding are more 8 to ourselves. Further thinking Middle school students use AI chatbots a lot. How do you use it in your daily life? (不少于20词) 9 【答案】1．matters 2．findings 3．carried 4．worthy 5．hard/difficult 6．rise/increase 7．positive/virtuous 8．valuable/beneficial 9．I often use AI chatbots to help me with my English homework. For example, I ask it to explain grammar rules or check my compositions. It’s a very useful tool for my study. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过调查数据和心理学实验，探讨了对人工智能礼貌是否有价值，指出虽然 AI 无感知，但这种行为能培养人类的美德和习惯，最终受益的是人类自己。 1．文章标题询问“为什么对AI礼貌仍然……”，结合全文结论段最后一句“the one who benefits from our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves”，说明礼貌对待AI对自身有益，因此应填matters。 2．根据文章一段可知，表格右侧为具体数据，此处对应调查的“结果/发现”，故填findings。 3．第一段指出“A 2024 survey found that about 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite”，该调查是“被进行的”，因此填“carried”，构成“carried out”，意为“进行”。 4．第二段提到“AI chatbots do not value politeness... all those pleases and thank-yous are just a waste of money.”可知，既然说是浪费钱，说明AI不“值得”礼貌对待，be worthy of意为“值得……”，故填worthy。 5．第三段指出“there may be value that is not easy to measure”，因此填“hard”或“difficult”，表示“难以衡量”。 6．第三段提到“the first group reported 25% higher levels of happiness”，因此填“increase”或“rise”，表示“增长25%”。 7．第四段引用Maimonides的观点，认为“regular kind acts...turn virtue into a habit”，即形成“积极的”或“有美德的”习惯，因此填“positive”或“virtuous”。 8．最后一段指出“protecting these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost”，因此礼貌习惯对“我们自己”更“有价值的”或“有益的”，故填“valuable”或“beneficial”。 9．本题为开放性题目，要求学生结合自身经历说明如何使用AI聊天机器人。答案需体现真实使用场景，并包含礼貌用语或对礼貌行为的理解。示例答案符合“不少于20词”要求，语言通顺，内容合理。 三、完形填空 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Lily used to be a shy girl.

She 1 him, saying, “Okay, honey. Your birthday is coming up after all.” Mateo 2 . He had wanted a kitten for as long as he could remember. As soon as they entered the animal center, Mateo felt a 3 , heavy feeling come over him. Some cats were clawing (用爪子抓) through the bars, while others were lying still. The miaowing was almost 4 to hear. They began walking toward some kittens. Mateo noticed a 5 black cat with some of its fur missing. He kneeled down and took hold of its paw. The cat raised its head. Mateo noticed a large red tag hanging from the cage. It read: Santiago, male, 11 years old. Mateo gasped—he, too, would be turning eleven soon! He continued: FIV positive: poor appetite, hair loss, and eye problems. Mateo hardly heard his mom come up behind him. “Who’s this?” she asked. “Santiago,” Mateo replied. “He has special 6 , and he’s old.” “I can see that,” his mom said as she looked at the red tag. “He’s sick, so he’s going to need a lot of extra time and 7 .” “So do I,” Mateo said. “It’s like when the teachers give me extra time on tests, or when Jeremy teaches me.” “I’m not sure,” his mom said slowly, looking 8 . Mateo had seen this expression before, when he told her about some kids saying 9 things to him. Mateo reached through the bars and scratched Santiago’s back. The cat purred. “The tag doesn’t say he likes  being scratched right here.” “How about we meet him in one of the little rooms?” his mom asked, sounding   10 . Mateo nodded, but his mind was already made up. 1．A．beat B．thanked C．refused D．surprised 2．A．shouted B．smiled C．cried D．complained 3．A．sad B．warm C．calm D．wonderful 4．A．enjoyable B．pleasant C．painful D．comfortable 5．A．fat B．strong C．thin D．lovely 6．A．needs B．offers C．talents D．looks 7．A．space B．power C．care D．money 8．A．tired B．excited C．angry D．worried 9．A．interesting B．hurtful C．friendly D．difficult 10．A．unsure B．unfriendly C．unhappy D．unwilling 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．D 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了男孩Mateo在放学路上乞求母亲让他领养一只小猫的故事。母亲最终同意了——因为他的生日快到了。Mateo在动物收容所里既兴奋又紧张，最终注意到一只名叫Santiago的11岁黑色公猫，这只猫虽然患有FIV（猫免疫缺陷病毒）等健康问题且年迈体弱，但Mateo依然坚定地决定收养它。故事展现了男孩对弱小动物的爱心与坚定的选择。 1．句意：她让他很惊讶，说：“好吧，亲爱的。” 空前主语“She”指妈妈，空后引语“Okay, honey. Your birthday is coming up after all.”表明妈妈出乎意料地答应了Mateo一直恳求的领养请求——对于一个一直在乞求的孩子来说，妈妈的答应是意外之喜。surprised此处作动词过去式，意为“使……感到惊讶/令某人意外”；beat（打）语义过重且不符合母子温情场景；thanked（感谢）虽有可能但无法体现“出乎意料”这一关键语境；refused（拒绝）与后文“Okay”直接矛盾。 2．句意：Mateo笑了。 前文妈妈出乎意料地同意了领养请求，Mateo听到后自然流露出开心的反应，smiled（微笑）准确传达了愿望达成时的喜悦；shouted（大喊）在收容所公共场合不合适；cried（哭）与积极情绪矛盾；complained（抱怨）更不可能在心愿实现时出现。 3．句意：他们一走进动物救助中心，Mateo 就涌上一股悲伤又沉重的情绪。 后文描写猫咪或焦躁抓栏杆、或一动不动的压抑场景，能烘托出伤感的氛围，sad（悲伤的）匹配环境带来的感受；warm（温暖的）、calm（平静的）、wonderful（美妙的）和压抑的现场氛围相悖。 4．句意：猫叫声几乎让人听得痛苦。 空格位于“The miaowing was almost _____ to hear”中，需填形容词。almost...to hear表达一种极端程度——喵呜声太多太密集，达到“难以忍受”的程度；enjoyable（令人愉快的）、pleasant（舒适的）、comfortable（舒适的）均为正面词汇，与almost所暗示的"过度/极限"语气矛盾；painful（痛苦的/难受的）在此处表示声音过于嘈杂密集而让人难以承受，符合收容所中多只猫同时叫唤的真实场景。 5．句意：Mateo 注意到一只瘦弱的黑猫，毛都有些掉了。 空格位于“a _____ black cat”中修饰cat。后文详细说明了这只猫的健康状况：“FIV positive: poor appetite, hair loss, and eye problems”以及“he’s old”，这些信息共同指向一只因年老多病而瘦弱的猫。thin（瘦弱的）与前文“some of its fur missing”和“poor appetite”形成直接的因果对应关系；fat（胖的）与健康问题矛盾；strong（强壮的）与病弱老猫的形象完全相反；lovely（可爱的）虽可能但不如下文健康细节指向的thin具体且有据可依。 6．句意：他有特殊需求，而且老了。 空格位于“special _____”中作宾语。后文紧接详细说明这只猫的健康问题——“FIV positive; poor appetite, hair loss, and eye problems”以及“H’s sick, so he’s going to need a lot of extra time and _____”，说明这只猫因疾病和年老需要特殊的照顾和对待。needs（需求/特殊需要）最准确地概括了病弱老猫所需要的特殊照料；offers（提议/提供）、talents（天赋/才能）、looks（外貌）均与健康状况和后续描述的特殊照料的语境无关。 7．句意：他病了，所以需要额外的时间和照顾。 空格位于“extra time and _____”中与time并列。care（照料/照顾）是生病的猫除了时间之外最核心的需求——后文Mateo类比老师给他额外的时间，正说明需要额外的关注和照顾；space（空间）、power（力量/权力）、money（金钱）虽也有可能需要，但在“extra time and...”并列结构中，care是最直接且紧密关联“sick（生病）”的答案。 8．句意：妈妈慢慢地说，看起来很担心。 空格位于“looking _____”中描述妈妈的表情神态。前文妈妈已经表达了“I’m not sure（我不确定）”，且面对的是一只患有严重疾病（FIV阳性、掉毛、眼部问题）的高龄老猫，tired（疲惫的）、excited（激动的）、angry（生气的）均不符合一位母亲面对儿子要领养一只重病老猫时应有的审慎态度；worried（担心的/忧虑的）精准体现了她的不确定和对未来照料困难的重重顾虑。 9．句意：当他告诉她有些孩子对他说有害的话时。 空格位于“saying _____ things to him”中修饰things。interesting（有趣的）与“this expression（这种表情）”通常代表的严肃或难过神情不匹配；friendly（友好的）与负面表情矛盾；difficult（困难的）不太用来形容“话”；hurtful（伤人的）准确对应了那种令母亲担忧的、孩子们对他说的恶意的话——这也解释了为什么妈妈看到Santiago时会露出同样的担忧表情，因为她知道儿子曾经被伤害过。 10．句意：妈妈问道，听起来仍不确定。 空格位于“sounding _____”中描述妈妈的语气。前文妈妈已经多次表达不确定，此时提出去小房间见面猫的建议，语气应是试探性的、未完全决定的；unsure（不确定的/没把握的）与前面的not sure形成完美的首尾呼应——她尚未完全答应，只是愿意进一步了解；unfriendly（不友好的）、unhappy（不开心的）程度过重且不符合妈妈温柔试探的态度；unwilling（不愿意的）也与她主动提出“去小房间见见”的行为矛盾。 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For over a thousand years, traditional bamboo papermaking has been passed down in Caizhai Village, Zhejiang Province. Today, there are still craftspeople who 1 this ancient skill. 72-year-old Li Hong is one of them. “I learned papermaking from my father when I was 15,” he said. “At that time, almost every family in the village made paper by hand. But now this old skill is facing the risk of disappearing.” By 2020, there were fewer than 10 villagers who could still make handmade bamboo paper. However, the 2 for this ancient art never fades. More young people are starting to learn the skill and bring new ideas to it. The public don’t 3 want it to survive — they want it to shine in modern times. Li’s granddaughter, Li Xiao, came back to the village after college. She 4 the idea of combining handmade paper with creative cultural products. At first, Li Hong doubted whether the old craft could fit in with modern design. But his granddaughter’s hard work 5 him. They made paper lanterns, notebooks and wall decorations, all based on the handmade bamboo paper. According to Li Xiao, it is not easy to make a piece of good handmade paper. The whole 6 includes more than 100 steps, from picking bamboo to drying the final paper. It takes at least three months to finish a single piece. When she introduces the process to visitors, she talks about every step 7 , instead of just showing the finished products. Thanks to their efforts, handmade paper has found its way back to people’s daily lives. It brings people closer to traditional culture and a chance to 8 to the slow way of life. “Handmade paper carries the temperature of time,” Li Xiao said. “We don’t want it to be just a(n) 9 in the museum. We want it to be something people can use and feel in daily life.” The village now holds papermaking experience activities every weekend. Tourists can try making paper by themselves and take their works home. It helps more people understand the beauty of this craft and 10 traditional culture to more generations. 1．A．create B．keep C．change D．copy 2．A．love B．need C．plan D．search 3．A．easily B．nearly C．simply D．wisely 4．A．put up with B．came up with C．caught up with D．kept up with 5．A．worried B．disappointed C．changed D．satisfied 6．A．process B．product C．program D．project 7．A．in danger B．in fact C．in detail D．in surprise 8．A．return B．compare C．connect D．contribute 9．A．tool B．exhibit C．picture D．model 10．A．pass on B．take on C．put on D．hold on 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文讲述浙江蔡寨村李洪祖孙传承创新竹纸技艺，让古老手艺回归现代生活并传递给下一代的故事。 1．句意：今天，仍然有工匠保留着这项古老的技艺。 上文“traditional bamboo papermaking has been passed down”，后文 72 岁李洪是传承人之一，应选用keep，贴合传承人守护技艺的语境。 2．句意：然而，人们对这门古老艺术的热爱从未消退。 However表转折，前句会手工造纸的村民不足十人，后句更多年轻人来学习创新，说明大家热爱不减，应选用love。 3．句意：公众不仅仅想要它生存下去——他们想要它在现代闪耀。 后半句破折号后“they want it to shine”存在递进逻辑，应选用simply，don’t simply want表示“不只是想要”，符合“不止存活还要发光”逻辑。easily“轻易地”、nearly“几乎”、wisely“明智地”，无法体现递进语义。 4．句意：她想出了将手工纸与创意文化产品结合的主意。 固定搭配come up with the idea表示“想出主意”。 5．句意：但孙女的努力工作改变了他（的看法）。 前文提到doubted，后文合作制作，说明态度发生了转变。changed体现从怀疑到接受的转变过程。 6．句意：完整工序包含100多步……。 后文“from picking bamboo to drying the final paper”是造纸完整流程步骤，应选用process。 7．句意：……她详细地讲解每一步，而不是只展示成品。 后半句“instead of just showing finished products”形成对比，说明讲解细致，用in detail。 8．句意：它拉近人们与传统文化的距离，给人们机会回归慢生活。 根据“slow way of life”可知，手工造纸代表传统慢节奏，对应重回这种生活，return to固定搭配“回归、重返”，契合重新感受传统慢生活的文意。 9．句意：我们不希望它只是博物馆里的一件展品。 根据“in the museum”可知，对应的是展品，用exhibit。 10．句意：这帮助更多人感受工艺之美，把传统文化传递给一代代后人。 后文“to more generations”，对应文化传承动作，固定短语pass on sth to sb“把某物传递/传承给某人”，贴合文化代代相传主旨。 四、阅读理解 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?” 1．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. 2．What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean? A．Excited. B．Cheerful. C．Uncomfortable. D．Impatient. 3．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. 4．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 5．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】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．C 【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。 1．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。 2．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， 3．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。 4．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。 5．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。 Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off, everything got in quiet. I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her, and I surely felt sorry for myself. Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky. And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car window. An old sign that said: REWARD (酬谢) $500. And under that was a picture of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out. And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY. Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that little dog? “Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall. Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat. “Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I asked. Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school tomorrow.” I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing. What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car. But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn't even know where to look for it. Besides, that sign was old. somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that five hundred dollars. I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs. And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh—.” I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to myself. I had a plan… 1．Where did the writer and her family live?

B．The reward sign for Mitsy was found on a wall outside the car. C．The writer's plan was to find Mitsy to get the reward money. D．The writer thought it easy to find Mitsy because she knew where to find it. 5．What is the best title for this story? A．The Night in the Car B．The Lost Dog C．The Search for Mitsy D．The Birth of a Plan 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了小女孩Georgina和妈妈、弟弟住在汽车里。她看到一张悬赏500美元寻找小狗Mitsy的启事后，萌生出找到小狗换钱来改善家庭住宿条件的计划。 1．原文第一句“Mama pulled the car into a small alley”和第三段“I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky.”，以及后文“instead of this dirty old car”，都说明她们住在车里。 2．第二段提到Luanne“lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up”后说“I surely felt sorry for myself”，将自己与Luanne的舒适条件对比，突出自己的艰难。 3．“my mind started racing”后接着她想到“ What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car.”，畅想着能够拥有一个真正的住处，能够说明她充满希望和兴奋。 4．倒数第五段“I could get that money”和结尾“I had a plan…”表明她计划找到Mitsy获得赏金。“that sign was old”说明启事是旧的；“on a telephone pole”说明启事不在墙上；“That dog could be anywhere. I wouldn’t even know where to look”说明狗不太容易找到。 5．全文围绕作者看到启事后产生计划展开，结尾点明“I had a plan…”，准确概括故事核心。 Since the Zhou Dynasty(1046 BC—256 BC), a complete etiquette system has been set. Today, many of these rules are not as strict as before. However, some are still followed on important occasions(场合) and are thought of as good examples of good manners. Walking Etiquette ① In ancient China, while walking with someone with a higher status(地位) or an old person, one should lower one’s head, bend down, and walk a little bit behind them. If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle. One should bow down and walk fast using smaller steps when passing by an elder or a teacher. Sitting Etiquette and Seating Rules ② Everyone should be sitting in a proper position at dining tables. It is based on their titles, ranks, or age. If someone doesn’t know the exact position, they should wait and follow the host’s lead. The best seat is the one that faces the east or the door. Hosts usually sit facing the west. Bow, and Fist-and-Palm Salute(抱拳) ③ Bow, in Chinese Yi Li or Zuo Yi, means having their hands folded in front in different ways. Today, however, the simplest Zuo Yi gesture is good enough, as well as nodding, smiling, and handshaking. ④ The Fist-and-Palm Salute, is another type of Yi Li, with the fist’s right hand covered by the left hand. It first appeared in the army when people held weapons(武器) while showing respect to others. So people always use the left hand to cover the right hand that holds weapons. 1．In ancient China, which place should your teacher be when walking with you and your classmate? A．In the middle. B．On the left. C．On the right. D．At the back. 2．Where can we put the sentence “The seating order is still widely used in family and business dinners.” in the passage? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．Which of the following pictures correctly describes “the Fist-and-Palm Salute”? A．B． C． D． 4．Why is the underlined sentence included in the last paragraph? A．To give an example.B．To set the order.C．To add more information. D．To show a result. 5．What may the writer talk about in the following paragraph? A．Another kind of Chinese etiquette. B．Another kind of Western etiquette. C．Differences among the three kinds of etiquette. D．Differences between Chinese and Western etiquette. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国礼仪体系。文章从周朝建立完整礼仪系统讲起，指出如今许多规则虽不如以前严格，但部分仍在重要场合沿用并被视为良好礼仪的典范。内容涵盖三个方面：行走礼仪（与长辈同行时的位置与礼节）、座次礼仪（餐桌座位安排依据身份/年龄）以及作揖礼（抱拳、拱手、左掌掩右拳的含义与演变）。 1．第一段Walking Etiquette中指出：“If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle.” 说明三人同行时老师应走在中间位置。 2．该句“The seating order is still widely used in family and business dinners.”意为“座次顺序在家庭和商务宴席中仍被广泛使用”，是对Sitting Etiquette部分的总结性陈述；第②段末尾详细介绍了座位安排规则（best seat faces east or the door），此句放在②处承上启下最为恰当。 3．第四段明确描述了Fist-and-Palm Salute（拱手礼）的动作：“with the fist's right hand covered by the left hand”，即左手覆盖右手握拳，对应图片B所示的手势。 4．最后一段提到军队中使用左掌掩右拳的方式持武器表示尊敬，这是对前文Fist-and-Palm Salute（另一种Yi Li）的补充说明，用于提供更多相关信息。 5．全文围绕中国礼仪展开，已介绍了行走礼仪、座次礼仪、作揖礼（含抱拳、拱手、Fist-and-Palm Salute三种），下一段自然应继续介绍其他种类的中国传统礼仪。 Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t see.

A．ORBIS didn’t do its best to offer help B．there is no good medical knowledge and skills in the world C．some countries do not have such medical knowledge and skills D．developing countries don’t pay much attention to the blind 3．According to this passage, ORBIS helps fight blindness by doing the following EXCEPT ________. A．selling medicine to raise money B．providing sight-saving training C．treating thousands of blind people every year D．trying to keep closer relations among countries 4．What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A．How much a training programme for a group of doctors costs. B．Why ORBIS needs to continue its work. C．Who can make thousands of blind people see again. D．What you can do to help blind people open their eyes. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了国际慈善组织ORBIS致力于在全球对抗失明，它通过在飞机上的教学医院培训医生、与各国保持联系、为发展中国家提供视力救助培训等方式帮助盲人，已取得一定成果，并呼吁人们提供帮助让更多盲人重见光明。 1．根据第二段中“With medical knowledge and skills today, 2/3 of the world’s 42 million blind people should not have to stand this illness.”可知，42×2/3=28million。 2．根据第二段中“Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge, but developing countries do not.”可知，发达国家掌握了相关医疗技术，但发展中国家没有，因此很多盲人受苦是因为一些国家没有这类医疗知识和技术。 3．根据第三段中“ORBIS is always trying to keep a closer relation among countries.”和第四段中“ORBIS helps those developing countries by providing sight-saving training.”及“They continue to treat thousands of blind people every year.”可知，ORBIS通过提供视力救助培训、每年治疗成千上万的盲人、努力在国家间保持密切关系帮助对抗失明，没有提到卖药筹钱。 4．文章最后一段介绍了不同金额的捐款可以带来的帮助，如帮助一个人看见、培训医生等，主要是在说人们可以做什么来帮助盲人重见光明。 You might see everything you see or hear on the Internet makes you more sure of what you already think. If this happens, be careful! You might be in something called an information cocoon (茧房)——a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. This isn’t something new. Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They connect people all over the world. But just like the old campfire, they also let people share and hear the ideas they already like. ① You might have noticed that social media ads seem to know what you like. This happens because of a computer program called algorithms (算法). Algorithms are like sets of rules that help computers do things. Every time you click (点击) likes or share something, you leave a “digital footprint (数字脚印)”. This helps algorithms learn what you like. Then they show you more of the same kind of content (内容). ② Information cocoons can make you feel good, but they also have some bad results. ③ When you only see similar opinions, it’s hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments (争论) and worries among people. This often makes different groups in society disagree with or do not trust each other even more. ④ The good news is that there are ways to break out of the information cocoon. One important thing is to look for different kinds of information. Also, it’s important to learn how to think critically (批判地). This means checking the facts and being open to changing your mind. By doing these things, you can break out of the information cocoon and see a wider world! 1．Why does the writer talk about “ancient campfire” in Paragraph 2? A．To encourage people to spend much more free time outdoors. B．To show that people always like sharing similar ideas in groups. C．To suggest that technology has made talking with others worse. D．To show why life in the past was more interesting than it is today. 2．According to the passage, a “digital footprint” is ________. A．a fun thing to play on the Internet B．something secret in your computer C．a number you use to enter a website D．a record of what you click or share online 3．We can put the sentence “This is why we need to solve this problem.” in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What does the writer think of the information cocoon? A．It is not good or bad, just a fact. B．It is hard to tell if it is good or bad. C．It is a problem and we should try to break it. D．It is good because it makes people feel happy. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了信息茧房的概念、形成机制、不良影响以及打破信息茧房的方法。 1．第二段提到“Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They also let people share and hear the ideas they already like”，通过古代篝火旁人们分享群体认可的故事，类比如今互联网和社交媒体让人们分享和听到自己已喜欢的观点，旨在表明人们总是喜欢在群体中分享相似观点。 2．文中第三段明确提到“Every time you click (点击) like or share something, you leave a ‘digital footprint (数字脚印)’”，这表明“数字脚印”是你在网上点击或分享内容的记录。 3．④处前文具体阐述信息茧房导致人们难以接受不同观点、引发争论担忧等问题，“This is why we need to solve this problem.”（这就是为什么我们需要解决这个问题）放在④处，能很好地承接上文信息茧房带来的问题，引出下文打破信息茧房的方法。 4．从文中第六段“Information cocoons make you feel good, but they also have some bad results”“When you only see similar opinions, it's hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently”“Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments (争论) and worries among people”等内容可知，作者认为信息茧房是一个存在不良影响的问题，我们应该打破它。 Pip meets a stranger My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only manage to say Pip. So Pip was what everybody called me. I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me, and married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died when I was a baby, so I could not remember them at all, but quite often I used to visit the churchyard, about a mile from the village, to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). My first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that churchyard one cold, grey, December afternoon, looking out at the dark, flat, wild marshes divided by the black line of the River Thames, and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the distance. “Don’t say a word!” cried a terrible voice, as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of me. “If you shout, I’ll cut your throat (喉咙)!” He was a big man, dressed all in grey, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. His clothes were wet and torn. He looked tired, and hungry, and very fierce (凶狠的). I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t cut my throat, sir!” I begged in fear. “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. Nothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old bread. He ate it in two bites, like a dog, and put me back on the gravestone. “So where are your father and mother?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and was about to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “I see. They’re dead. Well, who do you live with, if I let you live, which I haven’t decided yet?” “With my sister, sir, wife of Joe Gargery, the Blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me by both arms and stared (注视) fiercely down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file. You know what that is? And you bring me some food. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” I answered. I was badly scared and my whole body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, smiling unpleasantly,” I travel with a young man, a friend of mine, who roasts boys’ hearts and eats them. He’ll find you, wherever you are, and he’ll have your heart. So bring the file and the food to that wooden shelter over there, early tomorrow morning, if you want to keep your heart, that is. Remember, you promised!” I watched him turn and walk with difficulty across the marshes, the chain hanging clumsily around his leg. Then I ran home as fast as I could. — Taken from Great Expectations 1．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1? A．What Pip liked to do in the village at present. B．How Pip’s parents lost their lives many years ago. C．When Pip’s sister got married to the village blacksmith. D．Why the story happened in the churchyard near the village. 2．How might the man feel at first when Pip pointed to where his parents were? A．Excited. B．Afraid. C．Relaxed. D．Worried. 3．What would probably happen after Pip ran home? A．Pip would do as what the man told him to do. B．Pip would hide himself far away from the village. C．Pip would try his best to fight against the two men. D．Pip would tell everything about the man to his sister. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文节选自《远大前程》，讲述了小男孩Pip在教堂墓地遇到一名逃犯的惊险经历。文章通过Pip的视角展开，交代了故事发生的背景，并以紧张的对话推动情节发展。 1．第一段交代了Pip的身世：父母早亡，住在姐姐家，经常去教堂墓地看父母的墓碑。这些信息说明了故事为什么发生在教堂墓地附近——因为Pip常去那里，才会遇到那个陌生人。 2．第四段中，当Pip指向父母的墓碑时，那人先是大叫“What!”，接着“was about to run”（准备逃跑），说明他第一反应是害怕，以为Pip的父母还活着、会来抓他。等看清是墓碑后才松了口气说“Oh!”。 3．最后一段，那人威胁Pip必须带锉刀和食物来，否则“I’ll cut your heart out”。Pip当时非常恐惧，且已经答应“I promise I’ll do it, sir”。结合Pip年幼胆小、已做出承诺的性格，他最可能照做。 Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner. At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic (同情的) heart. She had two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha, had married. A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and patched. But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ② Once, while serving him,Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark (污点) on the customer’s fingers. ③ She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (阁楼), where he painted pictures, ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④ Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台). No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later, the customer came in. “Two loaves of stalebread, if you please.” “You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread. “Yes?” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture?” “The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透视画法) of it is not true. Goodbye, madam. ” He took his bread, bowed and hurried out. Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge perspective at a quick look and to live on stale bread. But talented people often have to go through difficulties before they succeed. What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery and a sympathetic heart. But these were daydreams. Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride (骄傲) of artists. (To be continued） 1．We can put the sentence “Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in ________ A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 2．Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter? A．To test if the customer was an artist. B．To sell the painting to help the poor artist. C．To show her personal art collection and taste. D．To decorate the shop and attract more customers. 3．How does the writer mainly develop the story? A．By describing the setting in great detail. B．By showing scenes between two locations. C．By using long dialogues between characters. D．By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings. 4．What might happen later according to the last paragraph of the story? A．Miss Martha would offer the man stale bread for free. B．Miss Martha would lend some of her money to the man. C．Miss Martha would secretly add something to the stale bread. D．Miss Martha would give him fresh bread instead of stale one. 5．From the passage, we can learn Miss Martha was ________ A．rich but cold-hearted B．kind and warm-hearted C．clever and proud D．strict with customers 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了面包店店主玛莎小姐，因同情一位只买陈面包的顾客，通过一幅画验证其艺术家身份，最终在善意与顾虑中纠结的故事。 1．根据第3段“He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five.”可知，这句话补充说明“他只买陈面包，从不买其他食物”，放在描述他买面包习惯的②处逻辑最通顺。 2．根据第5段“To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter. No artist could fail to notice it.”可知，玛莎小姐放画是为了验证自己的猜测——对方是不是艺术家。 3．根据文中多处心理描写（如第4段“She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor.”、第9段“Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses!”、第10段“What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery and a sympathetic heart...”）可知，文章通过描写玛莎小姐的内心想法和情感变化推动情节发展。 4．根据最后一段“She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride of artists.”可知，玛莎小姐想帮助对方但怕伤他自尊，因此最可能偷偷在陈面包里加些别的东西。 5．根据第1段“At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic heart.”及全文情节可知，玛莎小姐富有同情心、善良热心。 A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations. China is getting really serious about waste now. We are importing less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste-to-energy factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or wastewater will be released into the environment. The Chinese government is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are developing the habit of separating their waste. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．telling stories B．making comparisons C．raising questions D．giving suggestions 2．The underlined word “sustainable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________ ” in Chinese. A．可享受的 B．可持续的 C．可借鉴的 D．可复活的 3．From the last three paragraphs, we can learn that ________. A．24 kinds of waste have been stopped entering from China for years B．all the people are forming the habit of separating waste in China C．no harmful gases or water will be able to get into the environment D．China is paying more and more attention to the waste at present 4．The structure of the passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国每年产生的生活垃圾与现有处理方式，接着指出垃圾带来的危害，最后介绍我国高度重视垃圾治理，出台多项举措实现垃圾无害化、资源化处理。 1．根据第一段“Where does the waste go?”和“What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?”可知，作者通过提出一系列问题来开启文章。 2．根据第二段“It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development...green mountains to our next generations.”可知，我们不能以牺牲环境为代价来赚钱，要给子孙后代留下绿水青山，说明这种发展要能持续下去，“sustainable”意为“可持续的”符合语境。 3．根据第三段“China is getting really serious about waste now.”以及后文中国采取的禁洋垃圾、垃圾再利用、垃圾分类等一系列举措，说明中国目前越来越重视垃圾问题。 4．通读全文可知，文章第一段提出垃圾处理现状的问题；第二段点明垃圾的危害；第三段表明中国目前对待垃圾的态度；第四、五、六段分别从限制洋垃圾、垃圾资源化利用和垃圾分类等多方面具体阐述中国对垃圾问题采取的措施，因此A选项符合文章结构。 If your homepage keeps showing you “colour walk” posts lately, you might be wondering: Is this another trend (趋势) that needs an expensive coffee and a camera better than my phone? Good news: A colour walk costs nothing, and the only things you need are your eyes and your phone. What exactly is a “colour walk”? It’s a simple, small adventure where you choose one colour and let it guide you around your neighbourhood. Pick green, and suddenly you are following trees, shop signs, traffic lights, and that stranger’s bright green trainers. Choose pink and you’ll start noticing cherry flowers, different packages, or a happy hair clip on the ground. The aim is to collect a “colour story”—a set of photos that shows two things: the world is full of colours, and you were paying attention. By focusing on one colour, you train your brain to notice small things you would usually miss. Most of the time, we walk in a fixed way: school—homework—phones—sleep—repeat. Colour walks change this habit. They are like moving relaxation, helping you feel better, reducing stress, and making you care more about your surroundings. They slowly help your brain calm down and even turn it into a fun “treasure hunt” mode. But the treasure is just an everyday red postbox, and finding it feels surprisingly nice. Spring is the best season for it. Everything looks like it is in a beauty contest: fresh green leaves, soft pink flowers, golden sunlight, and colours everywhere. Even a road you have walked many times can feel new when you are looking for one special colour. So, pick a colour. If you are a beginner, start with something easy like green. If you want a challenge, choose a harder colour like purple. Walk around and try different things: nature, buildings, objects and shadows. You can even make fun rules, like only taking photos of circles, only looking up, or only taking pictures of small things. It is your own colour story! A colour walk cannot solve all your problems or reduce exam stress, but it can make an afternoon brighter, calmer, and more enjoyable. 1．What do you need for a colour walk? A．A camera and a dear coffee. B．A phone and special tools. C．Your eyes and a phone. D．A guide and a hair clip. 2．What will you do when you choose one colour during a colour walk? A．Walk faster to enjoy cherry flowers. B．Begin to notice things of that colour. C．Forget about your surroundings quickly. D．Take more photos of different colours. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A colour walk. B．A phone. C．A treasure. D．A story. 4．Which of the following best describes a colour walk? A．Simple and relaxing. B．Expensive and difficult. C．Boring and tiring. D．Stressful and challenging. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“色彩漫步”这一新兴休闲活动，讲解了色彩漫步的定义、益处和参与方法，引导读者走出家门感受身边的色彩与美好。 1．第一段提到“A colour walk costs nothing, and the only things you need are your eyes and your phone.”，参与色彩漫步只需要眼睛和手机。 2．第二段提到“Pick green, and suddenly you are following trees, shop signs, traffic lights, and that stranger’s bright green trainers. Choose pink and you’ll start noticing cherry flowers, different packages, or a happy hair clip on the ground.”，选定一种颜色后，你会开始留意所有该颜色的事物。 3．第四段首句“Spring is the best season for it.”并结合全文主旨，这句话意为“春天是进行这项活动的最佳季节”，因此“it”指代本文介绍的核心活动“色彩漫步”。 4．第二段提到“It’s a simple, small adventure”，以及第三段提到“They are like moving relaxation, helping you feel better, reducing stress”，色彩漫步的特点是简单又放松。 We often consider the city a stressful place. Crowded streets, expensive housing, all kinds of pollution, and a weak sense of community are just a few reasons people may feel this way about city life. Because of this, many people dream of moving to the countryside for a slower pace of life and a closer connection to nature. But what if we look at cities in a new way—not as the opposite of nature, but as a new kind of nature? At first, this idea may sound strange, but it makes us ask two important questions: What is “nature”? And what is “city”? Many people think nature can be found only in mountains and forests. However, it can also be found in every corner of a city—along a riverbank, in a small park, on a balcony, or in the songs of birds in the trees. In fact, many of our city “neighbors” are animals. In Europe and North America, for example, squirrels are now more common in cities than in forests. As the dividing line between city and nature becomes blurred, some city designers suggest that we need to start seeing cities as ecosystems (生态系统) for all living things, not just humans. An ecosystem includes both living things (like humans, animals, and plants) and non-living things (like air, water, buildings, and roads). In such a system, everything is connected. Humans and other things share the same space, and our actions influence one another. When we design future cities, we should take every part of this ecosystem into consideration. Nature is not only “out there” in faraway places. It is also right here, beside us. If we treat the city as nature, we will stop asking where nature begins and start asking how to live better in it. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Nature only appears in mountains and forests. B．Squirrels are less common in European cities than in forests. C．An ecosystem only includes living things like animals and plants. D．Nature can also be found on a balcony or in a park in a city. 2．What does the underlined word “blurred” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Unclear. B．Strange. C．Clear. D．Straight. 3．What can we learn about the design of future cities from the passage? A．It should only consider human needs. B．It should treat cities as ecosystems for all living and non-living things. C．It should separate cities from nature completely. D．It should build fewer buildings and more forests. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To list the environmental problems of city life. B．To explain why forests have more animals than cities. C．To introduce a new way of seeing cities as a part of nature. D．To tell readers that everyone should move to the countryside. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，提出了重新看待城市的新视角：城市并非自然的对立面，而是一种新形式的自然，并讨论了城市作为生态系统的重要性。 1．第二段指出：“However, it can also be found in every corner of a city—along a riverbank, in a small park, on a balcony, or in the songs of birds in the trees.” 这说明自然也可以在城市的阳台或公园中找到，因此D项正确。 2．第三段开头提到“As the dividing line between city and nature becomes blurred”，结合下文“we need to start seeing cities as ecosystems”，可知城市与自然的界限变得模糊、不清晰，因此“blurred”意思是“不清楚的”。 3．第三段结尾指出：“When we design future cities, we should take every part of this ecosystem into consideration.” 而该生态系统包括所有生物和非生物，因此未来城市设计应将城市视为包含所有生物和非生物的生态系统。 4．全文从人们对城市的负面看法入手，提出将城市视为自然的一部分这一新视角，并在最后一段总结：“If we treat the city as nature, we will stop asking where nature begins and start asking how to live better in it.” 因此，文章的主要目的是介绍一种将城市视为自然一部分的新方式。 五、书面表达 1．假设你是李华，你的学校将在6月22日至26日举办“绿色校园周（Green Campus Week）”活动。请给你的英国笔友Tom写一封电子邮件，介绍活动安排，并邀请他提出建议。活动内容：   ● 周一：环保讲座   ● 周二：清理校园   ● 周三：废旧物品手工制作比赛   ● 周四：节约能源挑战   ● 周五：成果展示 要求： 1. 包含所给要点，可适当发挥；   2. 词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；   3. 文中不得出现真实姓名、校名。 Dear Tom, How is everything going?

I’m Daniel from Class 1. Grade 8. Looking back on the past year, I think I have changed a lot and made great progress.
