【12题详解】
句意:排队时插队是不礼貌的。

【22题详解】
本段的主题是“吃健康的食物”。A项“不要吃太多垃圾食品”是关于饮食的具体建议,与“eat healthy foods”形成正反对比,逻辑通顺。

【26题详解】

【27题详解】
根据Part I中的句子“If you have some or many of these symptoms... then it’s time for you to do something.”可知,这部分内容是让读者对照清单,检查自己是否存在心理或情绪上的问题。

B
Does the Dead Sea sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming? What do you expect to see in it? Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea?
Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 300 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain.
Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is quite a salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that almost no plants or fish can live in it, and only some special microorganisms can survive. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year.
Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!
29. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By asking questions.
30. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The Dead Sea is a salty lake.
B. The Dead Sea has a strange name.
C. Almost no rain or fresh water enters the Dead Sea.
D. Plants can live in the Dead Sea.
31. What does the underlined word “float” mean in the passage?
A. To move slowly in the air.
B. To fly slowly in the air.
C. To move slowly on water.
D. To move slowly under water.
32. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask for opinions on swimming in the Dead Sea.
B. To share travelling experiences around the Dead Sea.
C. To encourage more people to read books in the Dead Sea.
D. To introduce one of the most surprising natural wonders of the world.
【答案】29. D 30. A 31. C 32. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,通过设问开篇,介绍了死海的地理位置、名称由来、特点及旅游价值。
【29题详解】
根据第一段中“Does the Dead Sea sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming? What do you expect to see in it? Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea?”可知,作者开篇用了三个问句引出话题。
【30题详解】
根据第三段中“it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is quite a salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world.”可知,本段核心是说明死海是一个咸水湖,因此A选项正确。B选项“死海有奇怪的名字”以及C选项“几乎没有雨水或淡水流入死海”仅为细节信息;D选项“植物能在死海中生存”与原文“almost no plants or fish can live in it”矛盾。
【31题详解】
根据文章第四段中“One interesting thing is that anyone can float in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!”可知,人们可以在死海中的水面上缓慢移动,甚至看书,因此“float”意为“在水面上缓慢移动”,C选项正确。
【32题详解】
根据全文内容,文章介绍了死海的位置、咸度、漂浮特点等信息,最后提到“The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit”,目的是向读者介绍死海这一奇特的自然景观,因此D选项正确。A选项“征求关于在死海游泳的意见”、B选项“分享死海周边的旅行经历”、C选项“鼓励更多人在死海看书”均不是文章的核心目的。
C
In today’s world, students are busier than ever. With heavy schoolwork, after-school activities, and sometimes even part-time jobs, many teenagers feel like they are running out of time. However, we need to take time off or have breaks from our busy lives.
First, time off helps improve our mental (心理的) health. Think about the last time you studied for hours without a break. Your mind probably felt tired, and it was hard to focus. Scientists say that our brains (大脑) need rest to work well. When we take time off, we can relax and clear our minds. For example, going for a walk in nature, listening to music, or talking with friends can all help us feel better.
Second, time off can boost creativity. When we walk away from our homework, we open ourselves up to new experiences and ideas. Many great inventions and works of art came from people who took time away from their daily jobs to find new things. Even if we are not artists or inventors, taking time off can help us find better ways in our studies.
Some students might say, “I’m too busy to take a break. I have too much homework!” But in fact, taking short breaks can make us more productive (有效的) . A study showed that students who took regular (有规律的) breaks while studying remembered more information than those who kept studying. After breaks, we can finish our work faster and with fewer mistakes. That’s because our minds need time off to grow and develop.
Time off is important for building relationships. Spending time with family and friends during breaks allows us to communicate and share experiences. These moments create memories that last a lifetime. For example, having dinner with your family or playing games with your friends can strengthen your relationships and make you feel loved and supported.
In conclusion, time off is important for our well-being, creativity, productivity, and relationships. As students, we should make sure that we have certain time for relaxation and fun. Remember, a well-rested mind is a happy and successful mind. So, next time you feel tired after a day’s work, take a deep breath, walk away from your tasks, and enjoy some time off!
33. 新考向 词义猜测 What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Reduce B. Harm C. Increase D. Test
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Students are too busy to take breaks.
B. Taking breaks can make students more productive.
C. Students should study continuously to remember more.
D. People can’t avoid making mistakes after breaks.
35. 新考向 标题概括 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. How to study better
B. The importance of time off
C. Ways to build relationships
D. Why students are so busy
【答案】33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要阐述了“抽出时间休息”对学生的重要性,包括改善心理健康、提升创造力、提高学习效率、促进人际关系等方面的作用。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“taking time off can help us find better ways in our studies”可知,休息能帮助我们找到更好的学习方法,由此可推测“boost creativity”意为“提升创造力”,“boost”对应“increase(增加、提升)”。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“taking short breaks can make us more productive ... students who took regular breaks while studying remembered more information”可知,该段主要说明休息能让学生更高效。故选B。
【35题详解】
最佳标题题。文章围绕“抽出时间休息的重要性”展开,从多个维度阐述了休息对学生的益处,“The importance of time off”能概括全文主旨。故选B。

Ⅴ.完成句子:根据所给汉语意思,用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。(共5小题,计10分)
36. 你应该躺下来休息一会。
You should ________ ________ and rest for a while.
【答案】 ①. lie ②. down
【解析】
【详解】lie down“躺下”,位于情态动词should后,作谓语,用动词原形,故填lie;down。
37. 我们直到雨停了才离开学校。
We ________ leave the school ________ the rain stopped.
【答案】 ①. didn’t ②. until
【解析】
【详解】原句中“直到……才……”是关键词,英语表达为not…until…,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时;leave是实义动词,变否定需要借助助动词did的否定形式didn’t。
38. 他一点一点地积累经验,并变得很专业。
He accumulated experience ________ ________ ________ and became very professional.
【答案】 ①. bit/little ②. by ③. bit/little
【解析】
【详解】“一点一点地” 的标准英文表达是 bit by bit或little by little,这是固定搭配,在句中作方式状语,修饰 “accumulated experience”,表示积累经验的方式。
39. 我们当时正从亲戚家开车回家。
We were ________ home from our ________ house.
【答案】 ①. driving ②. relatives’
【解析】
【详解】原句中“开车”和“亲戚”是关键词,“开车”用drive表达,根据句意,句子是过去进行时,过去进行的结构是“was/were+动词的现在分词”,drive的现在分词是driving;“亲戚”用relative表达,是可数名词,根据“our”可知,此处用其单数形式和复数形式均可以,其后的“house”是名词,此处用名词所有格修饰名词。
40. 英国餐桌礼仪太让人困惑了,我有点担心。
English table manners are so ________ that I’m a little ________.
【答案】 ①. confusing ②. worried
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“令人困惑的”和“担心的”。confusing“令人困惑的”,是形容词,描述事物性质,在so...that...“如此……以至于……”结构中作表语;worried“担心的”,是形容词,描述人的感受,在“a little”后作表语。故填confusing;worried。

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题,每个题目的答案不超过10个单词。
Do you laugh every day? Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day on average. That is lots of laughter (笑).
In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. They aren’t a place for people to watch interesting shows. They’re a place for people to practice laughing. People get together every morning. First, they put their hands on their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. But after a short time, everyone is laughing naturally. They say they feel good after laughing together.
Scientists believe that laughter is good for us. Why do they think so? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When we laugh, we exercise many muscles (肌肉) in our body. Scientists say that one hundred laughs is the same as ten minutes of running. For another, when we laugh, we also breathe deeply. This helps us relax. That’s good for us, too.
Why do we laugh? That’s a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when there is no one with them. Many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect with other people. Laughter helps us feel part of a group.
Some people even say that laughter is the best medicine. If a man is ill, laughter can help him get well. What do you think?

【答案】例文
Dear Jim,
I heard you will come to China and worry about not knowing Chinese customs. I’d like to share some with you.
In China, people usually shake hands when meeting for the first time. When greeting elders, we often use respectful titles like “Grandpa” or “Aunt”. At meals, it’s polite to let older people start eating first. These customs not only show respect but also help build harmonious relationships. My advice is to observe locals’ behavior first. If unsure, ask politely—most people will be glad to help.
I hope you’ll have a great time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

Does the Dead Sea sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming? What do you expect to see in it? Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea?
Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 300 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain.
Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is quite a salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that almost no plants or fish can live in it, and only some special microorganisms can survive. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year.
Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!
29. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By asking questions.
30. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The Dead Sea is a salty lake.
B. The Dead Sea has a strange name.
C. Almost no rain or fresh water enters the Dead Sea.
D. Plants can live in the Dead Sea.
31. What does the underlined word “float” mean in the passage?
A. To move slowly in the air.
B. To fly slowly in the air.
C. To move slowly on water.
D. To move slowly under water.
32. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask for opinions on swimming in the Dead Sea.
B. To share travelling experiences around the Dead Sea.
C. To encourage more people to read books in the Dead Sea.
D. To introduce one of the most surprising natural wonders of the world.
C
In today’s world, students are busier than ever. With heavy schoolwork, after-school activities, and sometimes even part-time jobs, many teenagers feel like they are running out of time. However, we need to take time off or have breaks from our busy lives.
First, time off helps improve our mental (心理的) health. Think about the last time you studied for hours without a break. Your mind probably felt tired, and it was hard to focus. Scientists say that our brains (大脑) need rest to work well. When we take time off, we can relax and clear our minds. For example, going for a walk in nature, listening to music, or talking with friends can all help us feel better.
Second, time off can boost creativity. When we walk away from our homework, we open ourselves up to new experiences and ideas. Many great inventions and works of art came from people who took time away from their daily jobs to find new things. Even if we are not artists or inventors, taking time off can help us find better ways in our studies.
Some students might say, “I’m too busy to take a break. I have too much homework!” But in fact, taking short breaks can make us more productive (有效的) . A study showed that students who took regular (有规律的) breaks while studying remembered more information than those who kept studying. After breaks, we can finish our work faster and with fewer mistakes. That’s because our minds need time off to grow and develop.
Time off is important for building relationships. Spending time with family and friends during breaks allows us to communicate and share experiences. These moments create memories that last a lifetime. For example, having dinner with your family or playing games with your friends can strengthen your relationships and make you feel loved and supported.
In conclusion, time off is important for our well-being, creativity, productivity, and relationships. As students, we should make sure that we have certain time for relaxation and fun. Remember, a well-rested mind is a happy and successful mind. So, next time you feel tired after a day’s work, take a deep breath, walk away from your tasks, and enjoy some time off!
