【解析】
【导语】本文讲述Emma在奶奶的花园里发现大石头的秘密——蝴蝶会在温暖的石头上取暖以便飞行的故事,传递观察自然、发现美好的道理。
【1题详解】
句意:“奶奶,你的花园里为什么有大石头?”Emma一边给蔬菜浇水一边问道。
后文多次提到the rocks,且只有rocks符合“花园里的大石头” 这一语境。tools“工具”、sticks“树枝”、trees“树”均与上下文无关。
【2题详解】
句意:“睁大眼睛,” 奶奶说,“总有一天你会明白为什么。”
Emma在询问大石头存在的原因,奶奶让她观察后知晓原因,应用why。when“何时”、how“如何”、where“何地”均不对应“原因”。
【3题详解】
句意:它们只是坐在那里,好像在等她发现它们的秘密。
石头静止地待在花园中,sat拟人化表达“坐落、静置”的状态,符合语境。left“离开”、swung“摇摆”、returned“返回”均不符合石头静止的状态。
【4题详解】
句意:一天早上,Emma走进奶奶的花园去采摘西红柿。
后文出现“She picked the tomatoes”,直接对应“采摘西红柿”的动作,应用pick。plant“种植”、water“浇水”、see“看见” 均不符合“去花园”的目的。
【5题详解】
句意:前一晚下雨了,所以天气有点冷。
后文提到蝴蝶需要在石头上取暖才能飞行,说明雨后气温较低,应用cold。dark“黑暗的”(文中提到太阳照耀,并非黑暗)、clear“晴朗的”(不体现温度)、quiet“安静的”(与天气无关)逻辑均不通。
【6题详解】
句意:突然Emma停下并看了看。
她看到了石头上的蝴蝶,这是视觉动作,应用looked。listened“听”、smelled“闻”、tasted“尝”均与视觉场景不符。
【7题详解】
句意:Emma看着时,蝴蝶准备好飞行,很快它们飞走了。
蝴蝶的动作是“飞走”,flew away是固定搭配,符合语境。fell down“掉落”、got back“回来”、woke up“醒来”均不符合蝴蝶的行为逻辑。
【8题详解】
句意:但它们看起来没有特别的。
Emma 没看出石头的特别之处,nothing special表示 “没什么特别的”,符合语境。everything“一切” 语义不通,something“某物”与“没发现秘密”矛盾,anything“任何事物”常用于否定句/疑问句但此处“nothing” 更准确表达“无特别之处”,
【9题详解】
句意:她快速地摘下西红柿,匆忙跑回奶奶家。
她急于向奶奶分享发现的秘密,因此动作迅速,应用quickly。carefully“小心地”、nervously“紧张地”、seriously“严肃地”均不符合急切的情绪。
【10题详解】
句意:她太兴奋了,迫不及待要告诉奶奶这个秘密。
发现秘密后心情激动,excited符合“迫不及待分享”的情绪。relaxed“放松的”(与急切相反)、bored“无聊的”(发现秘密不会无聊)、scared“害怕的”(无害怕语境)逻辑均不符。
【11题详解】
句意:“我知道你为什么在花园里放大石头了,奶奶!”她喊道。
故事场景始终围绕“奶奶的花园”展开,应用garden。field“田野”、house“房子”、office“办公室” 均与场景不符。
【12题详解】
句意:“这个凉爽的早晨给了你答案,不是吗?” 她说。
Emma通过观察找到了大石头存在的答案,应用answer。peace“和平”、trouble“麻烦”、stress“压力”均与语境无关。
【13题详解】
句意:我看到蝴蝶坐在石头上,温暖它们自己以便飞行。
蝴蝶是复数主语,反身代词用themselves,表示“温暖它们自己”。myself“我自己”、yourselves“你们自己”、ourselves“我们自己”均与主语“蝴蝶”不匹配。
【14题详解】
句意:当它们身体冷的时候,它们不能飞。
前文提到蝴蝶要取暖后才能飞行,应用fly。see“看见”(冷不影响视觉)、rest“休息”(冷时可休息)、sing“唱歌”(文中未提及)均不符合逻辑。
【15题详解】
句意:“我得弄清楚这个秘密,” 她说。
Emma想弄明白蝴蝶如何感知石头的温度,work out表示“弄清楚、解决”,符合语境。cheer up“振作起来”、give away“泄露”、turn down“拒绝”均与“解开秘密”无关。

B
I used to believe I knew how to communicate with people around me, but later I found that there were many more things I needed to learn. I realized that when I was taking a pottery (陶艺) class.
In class, the teacher asked us to turn the clay (黏土) into a flower, and I happily started to do it. But Tony was still playing with his clay. “Hey, we need to make a flower,” I said. He looked at me and then kept quiet. I worried he wouldn’t have enough time to finish his work, so I made a flower for him. “Here,” I said, “you can use this one.” “Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted. My face turned red.
In the next class, I noticed he was making a tiger. He saw me looking at him and he glared at me and said, “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I didn’t know what to say. I was trying to be friendly and polite, but Tony felt different. I was sad and almost cried at that time.
Later, I knew what Tony experienced. I felt sorry for what I had done to him. We don’t always know what’s going on in others’ lives. So give others enough space when getting along with them.

【21题详解】

C
“Ni hao, we’re all Chinese now,” said many foreign young people on social media. A new trend (趋势) called “Becoming Chinese” is getting popular in Western countries. Millions of people are sharing their Chinese way of lifestyle in the Vlogs (视频博客).
So what do they do in these Vlogs? Instead of ice-cold drinks and hamburgers, they drink warm water with honey and eat rice. At home, they put on soft slippers (拖鞋) to keep “han qi” (cold energy) away. In their free time, they go to parks to practice Tai Chi (太极). Before bed, they take a hot foot bath to relax and sleep better.
To those young foreigners, these habits may seem new. But in China, they are a way of life called “Yang Sheng”—staying healthy to live a long and happy life. In the past, these habits were often seen as something for the old. Now, young people from around the world are giving them a try.
Why are they suddenly taking up these traditional habits? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our bodies need a balance between yin and yang. Traditional habits—like drinking hot water—help keep that balance and keep us healthy. Also, these small actions offer the young a sense of peace in a busy and stressful world. Many young foreigners now enjoy following them.
This trend also shows that China’s influence is growing—not through big words, but through everyday habits. Small choices like drinking warm water or practicing Tai Chi are becoming part of life for young people around the world. When they say “We’re all Chinese now,” it’s no longer just a joke. It’s a real love for a way of life that values balance, health, and peace.
26. Tom is a big fan of “Becoming Chinese.” What would you most likely see in his house?
A. A cup of iced coffee. B. A hamburger.
C. A set of Tai Chi clothes. D. A bottle of cold drink.
27. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The young foreigners. B. The old people in China.
C. The traditional habits. D. The stressful world.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. “Yang Sheng” habits are still only for the old people.
B. Drinking hot water helps balance yin and yang in our bodies.
C. People don’t feel peaceful when they follow the traditional habits.
D. Foreigners refuse to try Chinese healthy habits.
29. What can we infer (推断) from the last sentence “It’s a real love for a way of life”?
A. Only old people in China practice Yang Sheng.
B. Chinese people should give up their traditional habits.
C. Young foreigners truly enjoy and accept the Chinese way of healthy living.
D. Young foreigners are just joking when they say “We’re all Chinese now.”
30. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare Chinese and Western lifestyles.
B. To show that Chinese lifestyles are influencing the world.
C. To ask young people to learn more about foreign cultures.
D. To introduce the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
【答案】26. C 27. C 28. B 29. C 30. B
【解析】

【27题详解】
文章第4段“Why are they suddenly taking up these traditional habits?...Many young foreigners now enjoy following them.”表明他们为何突然开始养成这些传统习惯……许多外国年轻人乐于践行这些习惯,them指代前文的“Traditional habits”。
【28题详解】
文章第4段“According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our bodies need a balance between yin and yang. Traditional habits—like drinking hot water—help keep that balance”表明中医认为人体需要阴阳平衡,喝热水这类传统习惯能维持平衡。
【29题详解】
文章最后一段“When they say ‘We’re all Chinese now,’ it’s no longer just a joke. It’s a real love for a way of life that values balance, health, and peace.”表明外国年轻人说“我们现在都是中国人”不再只是玩笑,而是真正热爱这种重视平衡、健康和平的生活方式。这说明他们真正接受并享受中式健康生活。
【30题详解】
通读全文,文章主要介绍了“Becoming Chinese”这一潮流在西方国家的流行,并在最后一段点明“This trend also shows that China's influence is growing”,旨在展示中国生活方式正通过日常习惯影响世界。

【36题详解】
句意:该沙漠位于中国新疆南部,是我国最大的沙漠。分析句子结构可知,此处需要填入一个非谓语动词作状语,修饰主语“the desert”。动词locate意为“使……坐落于”,与the desert之间是被动关系,因此需使用过去分词形式。又因为位于句首,首字母需大写。

Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!
These days, many parents push their children into learning more skills. They believe it helps their kids to better compete in life. However, such a busy life can put students under great pressure.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think of themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”

I used to believe I knew how to communicate with people around me, but later I found that there were many more things I needed to learn. I realized that when I was taking a pottery (陶艺) class.
In class, the teacher asked us to turn the clay (黏土) into a flower, and I happily started to do it. But Tony was still playing with his clay. “Hey, we need to make a flower,” I said. He looked at me and then kept quiet. I worried he wouldn’t have enough time to finish his work, so I made a flower for him. “Here,” I said, “you can use this one.” “Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted. My face turned red.
In the next class, I noticed he was making a tiger. He saw me looking at him and he glared at me and said, “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I didn’t know what to say. I was trying to be friendly and polite, but Tony felt different. I was sad and almost cried at that time.

“Ni hao, we’re all Chinese now,” said many foreign young people on social media. A new trend (趋势) called “Becoming Chinese” is getting popular in Western countries. Millions of people are sharing their Chinese way of lifestyle in the Vlogs (视频博客).
So what do they do in these Vlogs? Instead of ice-cold drinks and hamburgers, they drink warm water with honey and eat rice. At home, they put on soft slippers (拖鞋) to keep “han qi” (cold energy) away. In their free time, they go to parks to practice Tai Chi (太极). Before bed, they take a hot foot bath to relax and sleep better.
To those young foreigners, these habits may seem new. But in China, they are a way of life called “Yang Sheng”—staying healthy to live a long and happy life. In the past, these habits were often seen as something for the old. Now, young people from around the world are giving them a try.
Why are they suddenly taking up these traditional habits? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our bodies need a balance between yin and yang. Traditional habits—like drinking hot water—help keep that balance and keep us healthy. Also, these small actions offer the young a sense of peace in a busy and stressful world. Many young foreigners now enjoy following them.
This trend also shows that China’s influence is growing—not through big words, but through everyday habits. Small choices like drinking warm water or practicing Tai Chi are becoming part of life for young people around the world. When they say “We’re all Chinese now,” it’s no longer just a joke. It’s a real love for a way of life that values balance, health, and peace.
26. Tom is a big fan of “Becoming Chinese.” What would you most likely see in his house?
A. A cup of iced coffee. B. A hamburger.
C. A set of Tai Chi clothes. D. A bottle of cold drink.
27. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The young foreigners. B. The old people in China.
C. The traditional habits. D. The stressful world.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. “Yang Sheng” habits are still only for the old people.
B. Drinking hot water helps balance yin and yang in our bodies.
C. People don’t feel peaceful when they follow the traditional habits.
D. Foreigners refuse to try Chinese healthy habits.
29. What can we infer (推断) from the last sentence “It’s a real love for a way of life”?
A. Only old people in China practice Yang Sheng.
B. Chinese people should give up their traditional habits.
C. Young foreigners truly enjoy and accept the Chinese way of healthy living.
D. Young foreigners are just joking when they say “We’re all Chinese now.”
30. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare Chinese and Western lifestyles.
B. To show that Chinese lifestyles are influencing the world.
C. To ask young people to learn more about foreign cultures.
D. To introduce the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!
These days, many parents push their children into learning more skills. They believe it helps their kids to better compete in life. However, such a busy life can put students under great pressure.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think of themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”
The main problem mentioned in the passage is ________46________. (限填1词)
Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
Name
Number of kids
Opinions on kids’ activities
