【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们的老师总是在我们教室的墙上张贴重要通知。
puts on穿上/上演;puts up张贴;puts out熄灭;puts down放下。根据“important notices on the wall”可知,通知应该是被张贴在墙上,故选puts up。

A. both B. all C. neither D. none
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:汤姆尝试了几种方法来避免感染流感,但都不起作用。

A. is offered B. was offered C. are offered D. were offered
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——今天的报纸上有一些新鲜事吗?——是的,一个有五千本书的图书馆昨天被作为礼物赠送给希望学校。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据yesterday昨天,故用一般过去时,故排除AC;主语后with复合结构,be动词的数与较远的主语一致,也就是与A library一致,用was。故选B。
5. Before the guests arrived, mom quickly ________ some fruits and sweets on the table.
A. put out B. laid out C. worked out D. found out
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:客人到来之前,妈妈迅速地摆出一些水果和甜点在桌子上。

A. Spend B. Spending C. To spend D. Spent
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:花更多的时间和家人在一起,你会感受到周围的幸福。

7. __________ nice weather it is to go hiking! Let’s go together.
A. How a B. How C. What a D. What
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:多么好的天气啊,适合去远足!我们一起去吧。
中心词weather是不可数名词,前面不能用冠词a/an修饰。修饰名词短语nice weather应用What引导,结构为“What+形容词+不可数名词+主谓!”。故填What。
8. —__________ does it take you to get to the museum?
—About half an hour.
A. How far B. How long C. How soon D. How often
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你去博物馆要花多长时间?——大约半小时。

C. when did you go to Shanghai D. when you arrived in Shanghai
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我你什么时候到达上海吗?——我直到下午 4:00 才到达那里。
考查宾语从句。根据“Could you tell me”可知本句为宾语从句,应为陈述语序,故排除A和C;根据答语可知询问到达时间,用“when”提问,故选D。
10. —Which season do you like better in Changchun, winter or summer?

Besides the amazing competitions of China’s 15th National Games, two funny mascots (吉祥物), named Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, have won the nation’s heart. Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens (大湾鸡)”, their design actually comes from the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”.
The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means “Everyone is together”.
What has made the mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, they are not lively by accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public.
This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver. Over 2,800 official products, like toy “greater bay chickens”, have been developed for the Games. They have become especially popular and sold out quickly both online and in stores. The success shows how a strong cultural idea, together with modern design, can really connect with people today.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
31. What animal is the design of the mascots actually from?
A. The panda. B. The chicken.
C. The Chinese white dolphin. D. The greater bay bird.
32. Why do the mascots become popular according to the passage?
A. Because they are full of energy.
B. Because they are made of expensive materials.

33. Where are the teenage performers from?
A. Sports schools. B. Martial arts schools.
C. Art colleges. D. Music colleges.
34. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)?

A job is more than just a job, especially to the older people. Every day, 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan carries a bag of parcels (包裹) and letters of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员) .
Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse. She worked for almost 30 years but was made jobless. It was very difficult for her to find another job because she was old. After two years of searching, the mother of two found another nursing job. But then after two years, she left. Why?
“My workmates were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age,” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she felt lonely at home. That made her unhappy. Then, one of Ms Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employees’ Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on exact work.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a problem. So I thought why not give it a try,” she said. After graduating from the ERB, Ms Cheng was offered a job by a company.
“Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude (态度) to work,” said Anthony Chong, who runs the company. Mr Chong said he recruited older people because they were able and dependable. “It is not easy to recruit young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.” he said, “Age is not important as long as you work hard. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”

How do you enjoy yourself when you’re alone? According to a study by John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US, doing activities that need both attention and skill can help people deal with loneliness and enjoy being alone.
Dattilo explained that when people are absorbed in (全神贯注于) what they are doing, they get into a state (状态) called “flow”. People can achieve the state by doing what they love whole-heartedly and using their skills at the same time.
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance (平衡) between the difficulty of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a computer program bot your skill level is low, then you probably feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Also, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either.
If you are a pianist or a painter, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed...and we experience momentary (短暂的) enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often amazed by how much time has passed.”
However, watching television usually doesn’t help people get into flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
So next time when you are alone, you can also try to enjoy yourself by doing something interesting. Don’t feel lonely and make full use of such chances.
根据短文内容,判断句子正 (T) 、误 (F) 。
41. Doing any activity can help people deal with loneliness and enjoy being alone.
42. People can achieve the state called “flow” by doing what they love and hate.
43. If the task is too easy or too hard for people, the state of flow will not appear.
44. Telling stories to other people can lead to the state of flow if you are a storyteller.
45. When someone leaves a state of flow, they are often surprised by how time flies.
【答案】41. F 42. F
43. T 44. T
45. T
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了独处时进入 “心流” 状态的相关研究,介绍心流的含义、形成必备条件、可以产生心流的活动与无法产生心流的活动,建议人们独处时通过合适的活动排解孤独、享受独处。
【41题详解】
第一段点明研究结论:只有需要专注力与技能的活动才能帮人们排解孤独、享受独处,并非所有活动都有效,题干表述 “做任何活动都能排解孤独、享受独处” 范围扩大,与原文内容不符,故判断为F。
【42题详解】
第二段写明人们全身心做自己热爱的事、同时运用自身技能就能进入心流状态,原文只提及喜爱的事情,并未提到讨厌的事,题干多出“hate”相关内容,表述违背原文,故判断为F。
【43题详解】
第三段阐述任务难度过高会使人倍感压力,难度过低则会让人产生倦怠无聊,两种情况都无法形成心流,题干表述和原文内容完全吻合,故判断为T。
【44题详解】
第四段举例说明讲故事在适配个人情况时能够使人产生心流,倘若本身擅长讲故事,进行这项活动便可以进入心流状态,题干表述契合原文逻辑,故判断为T。
【45题详解】
第五段提到当人们脱离心流状态时,常常会惊讶于流逝的时间,题干句意与原文表达含义一致,故判断为T。
(E)
There are three kinds of questions in English: direct, indirect, and question tags (反问句). People use these kinds of questions differently according to different situations. ____46____
Direct questions are either yes or no questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?”. It is certainly correct to ask so, but you can make it sound more polite by adding “excuse me” or “pardon me” to begin your question. ____47____ For example, we can say “Excuse me, could you please help me pick this up?” or “Would you mind if I sit here?”. Remember that “please” should not appear at the beginning of the question.
____48____ Notice that an indirect question begins with a phrase (I wonder, Do you think, Would you mind, etc.), and the real question is then placed in a positive (肯定的) sentence form ____49____ We often use question tags when we check information that we think is correct. We also use them to ask for more information by using different intonations (语调). If the voice goes up at the end of the sentence, we’re asking for more information. ____50____ For example, you remember that Jack is from New York, but you are not sure about that. Then you can ask, “You live in New York, don’t you?”
No matter what kinds of questions you use, keep in mind that it is the politeness behind those questions that matters in communication.

【导语】本文是一篇关于英语疑问句分类与用法的说明文,介绍了直接疑问句、间接疑问句和反问句三种类型,并说明了在不同情境下如何礼貌地使用它们。
【46题详解】
第一段说英语中有三种疑问句:直接疑问句、间接疑问句和反问句。人们根据不同情境以不同方式使用这些疑问句。空白处应总结这三种疑问句的共同点——都可以用于礼貌提问。选项E“But each kind can be used to ask polite questions.”(但每一种都可以用来提出礼貌的问题)符合逻辑,承上启下。
【47题详解】
第二段介绍直接疑问句,提到可以通过加“excuse me”或“pardon me”使其更礼貌,空白处后举例“Excuse me, could you please help me pick this up?”。因此空白处应说明还可以使用“could”“would”等词。选项A“It’s also possible to use ‘could’, or ‘would’ in some situations.”(在某些情况下也可以使用“could”或“would”)与后文例子衔接自然。
【48题详解】
第三段空白处位于段首,后文介绍间接疑问句的定义和结构,说明其以“I wonder, Do you think, Would you mind”等短语开头,后接肯定句形式。选项D“Using indirect questions is a polite way of asking polite questions.”(使用间接疑问句是提出礼貌问题的一种方式)作为段落主题句,准确概括了间接疑问句的礼貌属性,与后文形成总分关系。C项虽然也是间接疑问句例子,但应放在后文作为具体举例,而非段落首句。
【49题详解】
第三段后文说“注意间接疑问句以短语开头(I wonder, Do you think, Would you mind等),真正的问题放在肯定句形式中”。空白处应给出具体的间接疑问句例子来印证这个结构。选项C“For example, we can say ‘I wonder if you know what time it is.’”(例如,我们可以说“我想知道你是否知道几点了”)符合逻辑,与后文解释对应。
【50题详解】
第四段介绍反问句,前句说“如果句末语调上升,我们在询问更多信息”,空白处应描述语调下降的情况。选项 B “If the voice drops, we’re making sure about the known information.”(如果语调下降,我们在确认已知信息)与上文形成对比,符合逻辑。后文举例“Jack来自纽约,但你不确定”说明用反问句确认已知信息。
(F)
In a little town, there was a clock tower that had stood for centuries. The clock tower was known for its perfect timekeeping, and was looked after by Mr. Pendulum, the town’s timekeeper.
One day, Mr. Pendulum decided to take on an apprentice (学徒). He chose a young boy named Oliver. Oliver was excited but also nervous, knowing that keeping time was a task of great importance. Mr. Pendulum taught Oliver everything he knew about the clock.
When Oliver worked with Mr. Pendulum, he learned that time was not just about numbers and minutes—it was about moments and memories. The clock tower was quite special. It could show the time of the past and the future. Mr. Pendulum showed Oliver how to use this to help people in need.
One day, a young woman named Emily came to the clock tower for help. She was feeling lost and uncertain of her future. Mr. Pendulum and Oliver let her see a piece of her past, where she had faced challenges but had also experienced moments of joy and growth. They then showed her a possible future, where she could achieve her dreams and find happiness.
Emily was moved by the experience and left the clock tower with renewed hope. Oliver realized that the true power of the clock tower was not in keeping time, but in helping people find their way.
Years later, Oliver became a smart timekeeper, using the clock tower’s magic to guide people through difficult times. People learned the truth. Time was a gift and every moment was a chance to create a better future.

Besides the amazing competitions of China’s 15th National Games, two funny mascots (吉祥物), named Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, have won the nation’s heart. Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens (大湾鸡)”, their design actually comes from the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”.
The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means “Everyone is together”.
What has made the mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, they are not lively by accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public.
This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver. Over 2,800 official products, like toy “greater bay chickens”, have been developed for the Games. They have become especially popular and sold out quickly both online and in stores. The success shows how a strong cultural idea, together with modern design, can really connect with people today.

A job is more than just a job, especially to the older people. Every day, 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan carries a bag of parcels (包裹) and letters of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员) .
Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse. She worked for almost 30 years but was made jobless. It was very difficult for her to find another job because she was old. After two years of searching, the mother of two found another nursing job. But then after two years, she left. Why?
“My workmates were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age,” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she felt lonely at home. That made her unhappy. Then, one of Ms Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employees’ Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on exact work.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a problem. So I thought why not give it a try,” she said. After graduating from the ERB, Ms Cheng was offered a job by a company.
“Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude (态度) to work,” said Anthony Chong, who runs the company. Mr Chong said he recruited older people because they were able and dependable. “It is not easy to recruit young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.” he said, “Age is not important as long as you work hard. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”

How do you enjoy yourself when you’re alone? According to a study by John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US, doing activities that need both attention and skill can help people deal with loneliness and enjoy being alone.
Dattilo explained that when people are absorbed in (全神贯注于) what they are doing, they get into a state (状态) called “flow”. People can achieve the state by doing what they love whole-heartedly and using their skills at the same time.
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance (平衡) between the difficulty of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a computer program bot your skill level is low, then you probably feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Also, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either.
If you are a pianist or a painter, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed...and we experience momentary (短暂的) enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often amazed by how much time has passed.”
However, watching television usually doesn’t help people get into flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
So next time when you are alone, you can also try to enjoy yourself by doing something interesting. Don’t feel lonely and make full use of such chances.
根据短文内容,判断句子正 (T) 、误 (F) 。
41. Doing any activity can help people deal with loneliness and enjoy being alone.
42. People can achieve the state called “flow” by doing what they love and hate.
43. If the task is too easy or too hard for people, the state of flow will not appear.
44. Telling stories to other people can lead to the state of flow if you are a storyteller.
45. When someone leaves a state of flow, they are often surprised by how time flies.
(E)
There are three kinds of questions in English: direct, indirect, and question tags (反问句). People use these kinds of questions differently according to different situations. ____46____
Direct questions are either yes or no questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?”. It is certainly correct to ask so, but you can make it sound more polite by adding “excuse me” or “pardon me” to begin your question. ____47____ For example, we can say “Excuse me, could you please help me pick this up?” or “Would you mind if I sit here?”. Remember that “please” should not appear at the beginning of the question.
____48____ Notice that an indirect question begins with a phrase (I wonder, Do you think, Would you mind, etc.), and the real question is then placed in a positive (肯定的) sentence form ____49____ We often use question tags when we check information that we think is correct. We also use them to ask for more information by using different intonations (语调). If the voice goes up at the end of the sentence, we’re asking for more information. ____50____ For example, you remember that Jack is from New York, but you are not sure about that. Then you can ask, “You live in New York, don’t you?”
No matter what kinds of questions you use, keep in mind that it is the politeness behind those questions that matters in communication.

In a little town, there was a clock tower that had stood for centuries. The clock tower was known for its perfect timekeeping, and was looked after by Mr. Pendulum, the town’s timekeeper.
One day, Mr. Pendulum decided to take on an apprentice (学徒). He chose a young boy named Oliver. Oliver was excited but also nervous, knowing that keeping time was a task of great importance. Mr. Pendulum taught Oliver everything he knew about the clock.
When Oliver worked with Mr. Pendulum, he learned that time was not just about numbers and minutes—it was about moments and memories. The clock tower was quite special. It could show the time of the past and the future. Mr. Pendulum showed Oliver how to use this to help people in need.
