Nicole’s relationship with her mom was ____1____ different from mine. They were more like friends than mother and daughter. And they actually seemed to ____2____ spending time together. They often baked (烘烤) in their home, dreaming of the coffee shop her mother wished to ____3____. Watching Nicole’s mother made me question my mother’s dream. Taking care of me played such an important ____4____ in her life that she had no time to develop a hobby. As a teenager, I found it impossible to imagine a ____5____ life without a career or at least a hobby. Why did her interests and dreams never seem to bubble up to the ____6____? Could she truly be happy as only a homemaker? I began to suggest possible ways to my mom: having ____7____ at the university in design or fashion or starting a restaurant. “Too much work! You know, Gary’s mom starts her own restaurant—now she’s always running around! She ____8____ has time for anything else,” said my mother. “When I’m at school, what do you do all day?” “I do a lot, okay! You just don’t understand. When you move out, you will see ____9____ Mommy has done for you.” It wasn’t until years later, after I left for college, that I began to understand what it ____10____ to make a home. And I realized how much I had taken mine for granted (视……为理所当然). 1. A. hardly B. finally C. completely D. equally 2. A. regret B. enjoy C. practise D. avoid 3. A. open B. draw C. find D. sell 4. A. trick B. game C. tool D. part 5. A. popular B. familiar C. meaningful D. difficult 6. A. surface B. market C. pool D. sky 7. A. shows B. gifts C. courses D. parties 8. A. always B. never C. certainly D. really 9. A. something B. nothing C. anything D. everything 10. A. meant B. saved C. mentioned D. shared 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 8. B 9. D 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者通过对比朋友与母亲的关系，反思自己母亲为家庭的付出，最终理解了母爱的伟大与持家的意义。 【1题详解】 句意：妮可和她妈妈的关系和我的完全不一样。 后文点明她们更像朋友，和作者的母女关系差异很大，completely different表示“完全不同”符合语境。hardly“几乎不”、finally“最终”、equally“平等地”均无法体现差异程度。 【2题详解】 句意：她们实际上似乎很享受在一起的时光。 前文提到二人关系融洽像朋友，说明她们很享受在一起的时光，应用enjoy。regret“后悔”、practise“练习”、avoid“避免”均不符合友好语境。 【3题详解】 句意：她们经常在家烘焙，憧憬着她妈妈想要开的咖啡店。 “dreaming of the coffee shop her mother wished to...”表明妮可妈妈的梦想是开咖啡店，应用open。draw“画”、find“找到”、sell“卖”均不符合语境。 【4题详解】 句意：照顾我在她的生活中扮演了如此重要的角色，以至于她没有时间发展爱好。 固定搭配play an important part in，意为“在……中起重要作用”，应用part。trick“把戏”、game“游戏”、tool“工具”均无法构成此搭配。 【5题详解】 句意：十几岁的时候，我无法想象没有事业、至少没有爱好的有意义的生活。 根据上下文，作者当时不理解家庭主妇的价值，认为没有爱好事业的生活就没有意义，应用meaningful。popular“受欢迎的”、familiar“熟悉的”、difficult“困难的”均不符合作者当时的内心想法。 【6题详解】 句意：为什么她的兴趣和梦想似乎从来不会浮现到表面？ bubble up to the surface是固定表达，意为“浮现、显露出来”，此处指母亲的兴趣和梦想从不表露出来。market“市场”、pool“池塘”、sky“天空”均不符合语义搭配。 【7题详解】 句意：我开始给妈妈提一些可能的方法：去大学上设计或时尚的课程，或者开一家餐馆。 “at the university in design or fashion”表明是在大学上课，应用courses。shows“演出”、gifts“礼物”、parties“派对”均不符合大学场景。 【8题详解】 句意：她从来没有时间做别的事。 前文提到开餐馆后总是四处奔忙，因此没有时间做其他事，应用never。always“总是”、certainly“当然”、really“真正地”均与忙碌语境矛盾。 【9题详解】 句意：等你搬出去了，你就会明白妈妈为你做的一切。 根据上下文，此处强调妈妈为自己付出的全部，应用everything。something“某事”无法体现妈妈忙的抽不出时间培养自己的爱好、anything“任何事”常用于否定句或疑问句，均不符合。 【10题详解】 句意：直到多年后我去上大学，才开始明白打理一个家意味着什么。 “what it...to make a home.”表明作者最终明白打理家庭的真正含义，meant“意味着”符合语境。saved“拯救，节省”、mentioned“提及”、shared“分享”均不符合作者顿悟持家不易的心境。 第二部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The 2026 Aranya Theater Festival presents 34 productions from 14 countries, aiming to draw worldwide attention. The festival opens with City of Fiction, adapted (改编) from Yu Hua’s novel. It tells the story of a young man from northern China who starts a journey south in search of an imaginary city. The festival also presents a lot of other highly expected works. One such show is Na Han, a Chinese-German production adapted from the short story collection by Lu Xun. It explores themes like family relationships. Dans la tempete continue is a French-Chinese production, which focuses on the dynamics (动态) within a family. Besides drama performances, the festival offers other activities such as workshops and street shows, making visitors’ cultural experiences richer. 11. How many days does the festival last? A. 12 days. B. 14 days. C. 28 days. D. 34 days. 12. What do Na Han and Dans la tempete continue have in common? A. They tell the story of the young. B. They try to explore family themes. C.

It allows visitors to direct a drama. C. It is to draw Chinese people’s attention. D. It is an international event held in China. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了2026年在中国秦皇岛举办的阿那亚戏剧节，说明了该戏剧节的举办时间、举办规模、开幕作品、多部参展作品的特点，以及除戏剧表演外的其他延伸活动，该戏剧节旨在吸引全球范围的关注。 【11题详解】 根据海报给出的举办时间“June 17th - June 28th, 2026”，计算可得活动持续天数为28−17+1=12天，对应A选项。 【12题详解】 第二段提到“It explores themes like family relationships.”以及“...which focuses on the dynamics (动态) within a family.”，《Na Han》探索家庭关系主题，《Dans la tempete continue》聚焦家庭内部关系动态，二者都围绕家庭主题展开；A项文中无提及，C项只有后者是中法合拍片，D项只有前者改编自鲁迅的作品，只有B项符合二者的共同点。 【13题详解】 文中提到“from 14 countries”（来自14个国家），且有中国作家作品改编，在中国举办（阿那亚位于中国秦皇岛），因此是一个在中国举办的国际性活动，D选项正确。开幕作品改编自中国作家余华的小说，不属于外国作品，A错误；文中仅说明戏剧节开设工作坊、街头秀等活动，未提及允许游客导演戏剧，B错误；文中明确指出戏剧节旨在吸引全球关注，并非仅吸引中国民众的关注，C错误。 B In 2014, doctors told Cai Lu he would never walk again. After twelve years, the 34-year-old is proving them wrong—not just by walking, but by running a company. When he was 22, he lost his right leg in an accident on a business trip. In 2018, Cai began using a prosthetic (义肢) and relearned to walk. But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable. A turning point came through Wei Qing, who is a member of a local disabled persons’ organization. Wei visited Cai repeatedly, gently inviting him to attend group outings. Cai finally went. “I realized I wasn’t alone,” he said. Around 2020, Cai tried starting a fried chicken delivery (外卖) business but failed. “Don’t rush. Take your time,” his mother told him. Hearing her words, Cai stepped back and poured himself into training programs. In 2023, he won a national championship for persons with disabilities in tea art—an achievement that gave him the confidence to start his prosthetics company the same year. As a prosthetic user himself, Cai could better understand his customers. “Traditional companies fit you and send you away,” he said. “We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.” His athletic career has also taken off. In 2025, Cai was chosen for China’s disabled park golf (高尔夫) team. When he isn’t on the green or in the company, he travels as a speaker for schools across Zhejiang province. Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: “Keep being brave.” 14. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2? A. He couldn’t step outside with disabilities. B. He was afraid of being treated differently. C. He lost the chance to go on a business trip. D. He was worried about another accident. 15. What is the right order of Cai Lu’s experiences? a. He was badly hurt in an accident. b. He started his prosthetics company. c. He tried a fried chicken delivery business. d. He won a national championship in tea art. A. b-a-d-c B. b-a-c-d C. a-c-b-d D. a-c-d-b 16. What makes Cai Lu’s company different from traditional ones? A. It provides free support. B. It helps to fit customers. C. It offers full-period service. D. It sends customers home. 17. What is the main message we can get from Cai Lu’s story? A. Accept help from others. B. Obey traffic rules strictly. C. Spread ideas in schools. D. Face challenges bravely. 【答案】14. B 15. D 16. C 17. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了蔡鲁在遭遇车祸失去右腿后，克服心理障碍、创业失败等重重困难，最终成功创办假肢公司并投身体育和演讲事业的故事，传递了勇敢面对挑战的正能量。 【14题详解】 第二段提到：“But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable.”，说明让他感到困扰的是外界的注视（stares），即他害怕因为残疾而受到不同的对待或异样眼光。 【15题详解】 根据文章时间线梳理：a. 22岁时遭遇事故受伤（第二段）；c. 2020年左右尝试炸鸡外卖业务但失败（第四段）；d. 2023年获得全国残疾人茶艺冠军（第四段）；b. 同年（2023年）创立假肢公司（第四段）。因此正确顺序是a-c-d-b。 【16题详解】 第五段中蔡鲁说：“Traditional companies fit you and send you away... We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.”，说明他的公司与传统公司的不同在于提供全生命周期的服务（full life cycle service），即全程服务。 【17题详解】 文章最后一段总结道：“Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: ‘Keep being brave.’”，且全文贯穿了他面对残疾、创业失败等挑战时勇敢坚持的精神，因此主旨是勇敢面对挑战。 C It is easy to be worried about the future of our planet. Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities. But I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet’s future. Nature is making a comeback in many places. Even in the worst landscapes, nature is developing and regaining its own land. Wolves are moving across Europe and there are more tigers in India. I am not saying we should stop worrying about losing biodiversity (生物多样性), but the good news is that nature isn’t so fragile. And in many parts of the world, we are giving it more room to do its thing. For example, farmers are returning land to nature in some areas. The population is getting smaller. We used to think a continuing baby boom (生育高峰) was a danger to the planet. But today, couples are having half as many children as half a century ago. In fact, the fear in much of the world is that the population is becoming smaller. Our modern world depends less on materials. This century, the UK’s consumption (消耗) of materials has fallen from 16 tonnes a year per head to 11 tonnes. Why? We make much more with less by using modern ways of producing goods. And today’s wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on. I agree that the worst could still happen. To avoid it, we have no choice but to act. And that means staying positive. 18. How does the writer explain people’s worries about the planet in paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing facts. C. By offering advice. D. By comparing ideas. 19. What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Active. B. Light. C. Weak. D. Quiet. 20. According to the passage, today’s wealthy people may spend more money ▲ . A. doing sports B. buying clothes C. producing goods D. holding concerts 21. What is the passage mainly about? A. How we can protect our future planet. B. How we can control population growth. C. Why we should reduce the use of materials. D. Why we should stay hopeful about the earth. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述虽然地球面临森林消失、水循环破坏、污染等诸多危机，但作者从自然复苏、人口增速放缓、物质消耗减少三个角度，阐述了人们仍应当对地球未来抱有希望。 【18题详解】 第一段列举事实：“Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities.”，通过描述地球当下存在的各类环境现实问题，来解释人们对地球未来的担忧，对应选项B 【19题详解】 第二段上下文：自然界多地复苏，狼群重现、老虎数量增加，人类也留出土地给自然，由此可知大自然并没有那么脆弱，划线词fragile含义为“脆弱的、虚弱的”，对应选项C Weak。 【20题详解】 第四段原文：“today's wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on.”，其中taking exercise对应doing sports（做运动），对应选项A。 【21题详解】 全文主旨：开篇点明虽地球问题重重，但作者仍对地球未来抱有希望，中间分三点给出乐观依据，结尾呼吁保持积极心态，核心是解释我们应当对地球保持乐观的原因，对应选项D。 D I am a free dog called Johannes. I live in a large park by the sea. Freya is one of the three Bison (野牛) who live in an area with a fence (篱笆) within the park. Recently, I wanted to set them free and I almost succeeded. Towards the end of the journey, Freya said to me, “We can’t go on that ship.” “But it’s right down there,” I said. “We’ve already done the hard part. The goats (羊) have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos (混乱) all around, so you wouldn’t be found when you hid among them. Everything’s ready.” I was worried, for the sky was growing brighter, and it would be more difficult for the goats to hide the Bison from humans as they went down the hill. “No,” Freya said. “We’re not going. We thought we could, but this short journey has already proven we are not ready for more. We can’t make it.” “But why let me—let all of us—go through all this trouble?” I asked. “You needn’t be angry,” Freya said. “Or sad. Or even surprised. Look at us. We’re slow and old. We couldn’t go across the sea in strange boats. Seeing this is enough.” She was still looking at the morning sea, which had grown brighter and whiter. She turned to me then. “Thank you, Johannes.” She turned to the goats. “We are so thankful. We have lived quiet lives. But you have freed our eyes and our minds. What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.” I tried to organize my thoughts. Was all this for nothing? And would we all have to go back to the park? I stood on the top of that small mountain, wondering what to do. Then one of the goats said to me, “You could come with us. We will protect you, and when you reach the mainland, you can stay with us, or simply run free. There are a million free dogs like you. You can run with them and see places and things.” I thought about this. I knew it was true. I knew I would go. 22. What did Freya think of their journey? A. It was worth it. B. It was too long. C. It was boring. D. It was smooth. 23. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The goats messed up everything. B. Their plan was very well-organized. C. The Bison were at the foot of the hill. D. Their secret was discovered by humans. 24. What would Johannes do in the end? A. Protect the goats. B. Join the Bison. C. Continue the journey. D. Return to the park. 25. What is the theme of the story? A. Some friends cannot be trusted. B. Humans can make friends with animals. C. We can make choices for others. D. Everyone can find their place in the world. 【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一只名叫Johannes的流浪狗试图帮助公园里的野牛（Bison）逃离围栏、获得自由的故事。虽然野牛因为年老体弱最终选择放弃逃跑，但它们感激这次经历让它们看到了大海，心灵得到了解放。最后，山羊邀请Johannes加入它们前往大陆，Johannes决定继续追寻自由。 【22题详解】 文章第七段中，Freya对Johannes说：“What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.”（你今天做的非常重要。你让我们看到了大海。我们不会忘记。）这表明尽管它们没有成功逃脱，但这次旅程让它们在精神上获得了自由和满足，因此Freya认为这次旅程是值得的（It was worth it）。 【23题详解】 第三段中Johannes提到：“The goats have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos... so you wouldn’t be found... Everything’s ready.”，说明山羊们按照计划制造混乱来掩护野牛，且Johannes认为“一切都准备好了”，这暗示他们的计划是经过精心组织和安排的（very well-organized）。A项错误，山羊并没有搞砸，而是履行了职责；C项错误，文中说他们正在下山（went down the hill），并未明确说已在山脚；D项错误，文中说天色变亮会增加难度，但未说秘密已被发现。 【24题详解】 文章最后两段提到，一只山羊邀请Johannes一起去大陆（“You could come with us...when you reach the mainland...”），Johannes思考后认为这是真的，并说：“I knew I would go.”（我知道我会去。）这意味着他决定离开公园，跟随山羊继续这段通往自由的旅程（Continue the journey）。 【25题详解】 故事中，野牛虽然身体被困，但通过看海找到了心灵的归宿；Johannes原本迷茫，最终找到了加入山羊群、奔向广阔天地的方向；山羊也有自己的生存方式。故事强调了每个角色都在寻找或确认自己在世界中的位置和价值。A项错误，朋友是可信的；B项非主旨；C项错误，Johannes尊重了野牛的选择，并未强加意愿。因此，D项“每个人都能在世界中找到自己的位置”最符合主题。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We use language for all kinds of reasons, but the major one is to talk to each other. We use it to have a chat, play a game, tell jokes, ask for help, and do a thousand other things. ____26____ The everyday use of language is to have conversations with each other. Having a conversation seems like the most natural thing in the world. We don’t think twice about it now. But it wasn’t always that way. We had to learn how to do it. ____27____ What’s the most basic rule of having a successful conversation? We take turns. I speak and then you do and then I do and then you do. ____28____ In an argument, we do sometimes hear a lot of people speaking together. But once the argument ends, everyone takes turns again. This is especially important if there are several people taking part in a conversation. Imagine: you’re in the street talking to three other people about the latest film Dear You. ____29____ If it’s going to be a successful conversation, then all four of you need to get the chance to have your say. If that happens, everyone’s happy. If that doesn’t happen, you can end up feeling quite mad. ____30____ We have to learn how to do it. And babies start that learning process (过程) very early on, during the first year of life. They hear their mother talking… they coo or babble... the mother replies… they coo or babble again… the mother replies again. Listen-speak-listen-speak-listen. That’s the key of any conversation. We have to learn to be listeners as well as speakers. A. We had to learn rules. B. We don’t speak at the same time. C. Some people are always cutting in. D. Turn-taking doesn’t come naturally. E. Everyone has got something to say about it. F. None of these could happen without language. G. We have learned all the sounds in our language. 【答案】26. F 27. A 28. B 29. E 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了语言的主要用途是交流，重点阐述了成功对话的核心规则——轮流发言，并指出这种能力并非与生俱来，而是需要从婴儿时期开始学习的过程。 【26题详解】 前文提到我们使用语言进行聊天、玩游戏、讲笑话等各种活动，后文总结日常使用语言就是为了彼此交谈，F选项“None of these could happen without language.”表示没有语言，这些活动都无法发生，承接上文列举的各种需要语言参与的活动，并引出下文对语言日常交流功能的强调。 【27题详解】 前文提到现在我们认为对话很自然，但过去并非如此，我们需要学习如何进行对话，A选项“We had to learn rules.”表示我们必须学习规则，衔接上文的“我们需要学习”，并为下文详细解释轮流发言这一基本规则做铺垫。 【28题详解】 前文解释了成功对话的基本规则是轮流发言，即我说完你说，B选项“We don’t speak at the same time.”表示我们不会同时说话，是对前文轮流发言规则的具体阐释，并与后文提到的争论时多人同时说话的情况形成对比。 【29题详解】 前文设想了一个场景：你在街上和另外三个人谈论最新的电影，E选项“Everyone has got something to say about it.”表示每个人都对此有话要说，承接上文的谈话主题，并引出下文关于如果每个人都能有机会表达观点，对话就会成功的论述。 【30题详解】 本段主要讲述对话技巧需要后天学习，婴儿很早就开始这个过程。选项 D“Turn-taking doesn’t come naturally.”作为段首主题句，引出了后文“我们必须学习如何做”以及婴儿学习过程的描述，符合段落大意。 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给的汉语注释或首字母提示，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 Should we say “thank you” to AI?

The festival opens with City of Fiction, adapted (改编) from Yu Hua’s novel. It tells the story of a young man from northern China who starts a journey south in search of an imaginary city. The festival also presents a lot of other highly expected works. One such show is Na Han, a Chinese-German production adapted from the short story collection by Lu Xun. It explores themes like family relationships. Dans la tempete continue is a French-Chinese production, which focuses on the dynamics (动态) within a family. Besides drama performances, the festival offers other activities such as workshops and street shows, making visitors’ cultural experiences richer. 11. How many days does the festival last? A. 12 days. B. 14 days. C. 28 days. D. 34 days. 12. What do Na Han and Dans la tempete continue have in common? A. They tell the story of the young. B. They try to explore family themes. C. They are French-Chinese productions. D. They are adapted from Lu Xun’s works. 13. What do we know about the festival according to the passage? A. It opens with a foreign production. B. It allows visitors to direct a drama. C. It is to draw Chinese people’s attention. D. It is an international event held in China. B In 2014, doctors told Cai Lu he would never walk again. After twelve years, the 34-year-old is proving them wrong—not just by walking, but by running a company. When he was 22, he lost his right leg in an accident on a business trip. In 2018, Cai began using a prosthetic (义肢) and relearned to walk. But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable. A turning point came through Wei Qing, who is a member of a local disabled persons’ organization. Wei visited Cai repeatedly, gently inviting him to attend group outings. Cai finally went. “I realized I wasn’t alone,” he said. Around 2020, Cai tried starting a fried chicken delivery (外卖) business but failed. “Don’t rush. Take your time,” his mother told him. Hearing her words, Cai stepped back and poured himself into training programs. In 2023, he won a national championship for persons with disabilities in tea art—an achievement that gave him the confidence to start his prosthetics company the same year. As a prosthetic user himself, Cai could better understand his customers. “Traditional companies fit you and send you away,” he said. “We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.” His athletic career has also taken off. In 2025, Cai was chosen for China’s disabled park golf (高尔夫) team. When he isn’t on the green or in the company, he travels as a speaker for schools across Zhejiang province. Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: “Keep being brave.” 14. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2? A. He couldn’t step outside with disabilities. B. He was afraid of being treated differently. C. He lost the chance to go on a business trip. D. He was worried about another accident. 15. What is the right order of Cai Lu’s experiences? a. He was badly hurt in an accident. b. He started his prosthetics company. c. He tried a fried chicken delivery business. d. He won a national championship in tea art. A. b-a-d-c B. b-a-c-d C. a-c-b-d D. a-c-d-b 16. What makes Cai Lu’s company different from traditional ones? A. It provides free support. B. It helps to fit customers. C. It offers full-period service. D. It sends customers home. 17. What is the main message we can get from Cai Lu’s story? A. Accept help from others. B. Obey traffic rules strictly. C. Spread ideas in schools. D. Face challenges bravely. C It is easy to be worried about the future of our planet. Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities. But I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet’s future. Nature is making a comeback in many places. Even in the worst landscapes, nature is developing and regaining its own land. Wolves are moving across Europe and there are more tigers in India. I am not saying we should stop worrying about losing biodiversity (生物多样性), but the good news is that nature isn’t so fragile. And in many parts of the world, we are giving it more room to do its thing. For example, farmers are returning land to nature in some areas. The population is getting smaller. We used to think a continuing baby boom (生育高峰) was a danger to the planet. But today, couples are having half as many children as half a century ago. In fact, the fear in much of the world is that the population is becoming smaller. Our modern world depends less on materials. This century, the UK’s consumption (消耗) of materials has fallen from 16 tonnes a year per head to 11 tonnes. Why? We make much more with less by using modern ways of producing goods. And today’s wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on. I agree that the worst could still happen. To avoid it, we have no choice but to act. And that means staying positive. 18. How does the writer explain people’s worries about the planet in paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing facts. C. By offering advice. D. By comparing ideas. 19. What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Active. B. Light. C. Weak. D. Quiet. 20. According to the passage, today’s wealthy people may spend more money ▲ . A. doing sports B. buying clothes C. producing goods D. holding concerts 21. What is the passage mainly about? A. How we can protect our future planet. B. How we can control population growth. C. Why we should reduce the use of materials. D. Why we should stay hopeful about the earth. D I am a free dog called Johannes. I live in a large park by the sea. Freya is one of the three Bison (野牛) who live in an area with a fence (篱笆) within the park. Recently, I wanted to set them free and I almost succeeded. Towards the end of the journey, Freya said to me, “We can’t go on that ship.” “But it’s right down there,” I said. “We’ve already done the hard part. The goats (羊) have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos (混乱) all around, so you wouldn’t be found when you hid among them. Everything’s ready.” I was worried, for the sky was growing brighter, and it would be more difficult for the goats to hide the Bison from humans as they went down the hill. “No,” Freya said. “We’re not going. We thought we could, but this short journey has already proven we are not ready for more. We can’t make it.” “But why let me—let all of us—go through all this trouble?” I asked. “You needn’t be angry,” Freya said. “Or sad. Or even surprised. Look at us. We’re slow and old. We couldn’t go across the sea in strange boats. Seeing this is enough.” She was still looking at the morning sea, which had grown brighter and whiter. She turned to me then. “Thank you, Johannes.” She turned to the goats. “We are so thankful. We have lived quiet lives. But you have freed our eyes and our minds. What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.” I tried to organize my thoughts. Was all this for nothing? And would we all have to go back to the park? I stood on the top of that small mountain, wondering what to do. Then one of the goats said to me, “You could come with us. We will protect you, and when you reach the mainland, you can stay with us, or simply run free. There are a million free dogs like you. You can run with them and see places and things.” I thought about this. I knew it was true. I knew I would go. 22. What did Freya think of their journey? A. It was worth it. B. It was too long. C. It was boring. D. It was smooth. 23. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The goats messed up everything. B. Their plan was very well-organized. C. The Bison were at the foot of the hill. D. Their secret was discovered by humans. 24. What would Johannes do in the end? A. Protect the goats. B. Join the Bison. C. Continue the journey. D. Return to the park. 25. What is the theme of the story? A. Some friends cannot be trusted. B. Humans can make friends with animals. C. We can make choices for others. D. Everyone can find their place in the world. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We use language for all kinds of reasons, but the major one is to talk to each other. We use it to have a chat, play a game, tell jokes, ask for help, and do a thousand other things. ____26____ The everyday use of language is to have conversations with each other. Having a conversation seems like the most natural thing in the world. We don’t think twice about it now. But it wasn’t always that way. We had to learn how to do it. ____27____ What’s the most basic rule of having a successful conversation? We take turns. I speak and then you do and then I do and then you do. ____28____ In an argument, we do sometimes hear a lot of people speaking together. But once the argument ends, everyone takes turns again. This is especially important if there are several people taking part in a conversation. Imagine: you’re in the street talking to three other people about the latest film Dear You. ____29____ If it’s going to be a successful conversation, then all four of you need to get the chance to have your say. If that happens, everyone’s happy. If that doesn’t happen, you can end up feeling quite mad. ____30____ We have to learn how to do it. And babies start that learning process (过程) very early on, during the first year of life. They hear their mother talking… they coo or babble... the mother replies… they coo or babble again… the mother replies again. Listen-speak-listen-speak-listen. That’s the key of any conversation. We have to learn to be listeners as well as speakers. A. We had to learn rules. B. We don’t speak at the same time. C. Some people are always cutting in. D. Turn-taking doesn’t come naturally. E. Everyone has got something to say about it. F. None of these could happen without language. G. We have learned all the sounds in our language. 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给的汉语注释或首字母提示，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 Should we say “thank you” to AI?
