Dear friends,
Summer vacation is coming. Reading great books can make your holiday wonderful. Here I’d like to share four great works with you.
The first one is Alice in Wonderland. A girl named Alice runs after a strange white rabbit and falls into a rabbit hole. She enters a magical world with talking animals and experiences many exciting adventures. It is full of fun and imagination.
Next is Robinson Crusoe. After a shipwreck (沉船), Crusoe arrives on a lonely island. He builds a house to survive and makes a good friend named Friday. They go through all kinds of adventures together on the island.
Then I suggest Charlotte’s Web. It shares a warm story full of care and love. The book shows different personalities and records ordinary but meaningful daily life. You can feel the love of family and friends from it.
The last book is Treasure Island. It follows a boy called Jim Hawkins. With a treasure (财宝) map, he sets sail for a treasure island. During the journey, he faces many dangers and tries his best to get the treasure back. It’s an exciting story about courage and wisdom.

Sarah had worked at the elephant rescue centre as a volunteer since three years ago. During that time, she cared for a tiny baby elephant named Bamboo. Bamboo had lost her mother to hunters and was very weak and sad. Every day, Sarah fed her warm milk, sang soft songs, and slept beside her. Slowly, Bamboo grew stronger and happier.
When Bamboo was ready, the keepers moved her to the wild forest. Sarah was happy for Bamboo, but her heart felt heavy. She missed the little elephant deeply.
Three years later, Sarah returned to visit the centre. The keepers told her that Bamboo now lived in the nearby forest with other elephants. Sarah walked quietly to the edge (边) of the forest and waited.
Suddenly, a large young elephant walked out from the trees. It was Bamboo. She stopped and lifted her trunk (象鼻) high into the air. Then she walked faster and faster toward Sarah.
Sarah’s eyes filled with tears. Bamboo touched Sarah’s face gently with her trunk, just like she did when she was a baby. She made soft, happy sounds and stayed close to Sarah’s side.
The keepers watched in silence. One of them whispered, “She remembered you.”
Sarah hugged Bamboo’s trunk and cried. Animals cannot speak our words, but their love is real and true. That day, Sarah understood that kindness is never forgotten.

Have you ever seen a sandstorm? It is a big storm that fills the sky with thick, yellow dust (灰尘).
Sandstorms happen when the weather is very warm and dry. When it does not rain for a long time, the ground gets very dry. Then, strong winds come and blow the dry dirt and sand high into the sky.
Sandstorms cause a lot of trouble. The thick dust makes the sky dark, and it is very hard to see. Sometimes, you cannot even see things that are close to you! Because it is dangerous to go outside, planes cannot fly, and students have to stay home from school.
The good news is that sandstorms are happening less often in China. Why? Because China is planting millions of trees!
In the 1970s, China started a big project called the Three-North Shelter Forest Program. Trees are great because their roots hold the dirt in place. When the wind blows, the trees stop the sand from flying away. Thanks to these trees, the deserts in China are getting smaller every year.
China also has a smart weather warning system (系统). It uses colours like red, orange, and yellow to tell people if a sandstorm is coming. This gives everyone time to get ready and stay safe inside.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. What kind of weather conditions usually cause a sandstorm?
A. Cold and snowy. B. Warm and dry. C. Cool and rainy. D. Windy and wet.
12. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Planes fly faster during a sandstorm. B. Sandstorms make the sky turn blue and beautiful.
C. Sandstorms cause many problems. D. Students enjoy staying home during a sandstorm.
13. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “hold”?
A. fix B. pull C. drop D. change
14. What does China use to warn people of coming sandstorms?

Have you ever seen a sandstorm? It is a big storm that fills the sky with thick, yellow dust (灰尘).
Sandstorms happen when the weather is very warm and dry. When it does not rain for a long time, the ground gets very dry. Then, strong winds come and blow the dry dirt and sand high into the sky.
Sandstorms cause a lot of trouble. The thick dust makes the sky dark, and it is very hard to see. Sometimes, you cannot even see things that are close to you! Because it is dangerous to go outside, planes cannot fly, and students have to stay home from school.
The good news is that sandstorms are happening less often in China. Why? Because China is planting millions of trees!
In the 1970s, China started a big project called the Three-North Shelter Forest Program. Trees are great because their roots hold the dirt in place. When the wind blows, the trees stop the sand from flying away. Thanks to these trees, the deserts in China are getting smaller every year.
China also has a smart weather warning system (系统). It uses colours like red, orange, and yellow to tell people if a sandstorm is coming. This gives everyone time to get ready and stay safe inside.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述12岁男孩Tom在车祸落水后,冷静勇敢救出家人们,因此荣获“年度勇敢少年”奖项的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:去年十一月,他因挽救家人的生命被授予“年度勇敢少年”奖项。
根据后文Tom营救爸爸、妈妈、弟弟妹妹的内容,可知他救的是家人,应用family’s。friend’s“朋友的”、classmate’s“同学的”、teacher’s“老师的”均不符合原文情节。
【22题详解】
句意:在颁奖典礼上,Tom的妈妈坐在前排,自豪地看着汤姆和其他九个孩子从足球明星手中领奖。
根据上下文,儿子获勇敢奖,母亲应感到自豪,应用proudly。quietly“安静地”、sadly“难过地”、carefully“仔细地”均不符合感情色彩。
【23题详解】
句意:这场事故发生在一个寒冷的夜晚。
“The accident”表明事故发生在一个寒冷的夜晚,应用happened。stopped“阻止”、worked“工作”、stayed“停留”均无法和事故搭配。
【24题详解】
句意:Tom和爸爸、妈妈、妹妹Jane、弟弟Ben在车里。
“His father was driving”表明一行人在车内,应用car。house“房子”、park“公园”、street“街道”均不符合。
【25题详解】
句意:他爸爸开车时,汽车突然冲出道路,坠入河里。
“the car suddenly went off the road and ... into a river.”可知,车冲出道路后掉进河里,fell into是固定搭配,表示“掉入”。jumped“跳”、flew“飞”、walked“行走”均不符合场景。
【26题详解】
句意:车子翻了过来,冰冷的水涌入车内。
前文提到事故发生在寒冷的夜晚,此处表示冰冷的水涌入车里,应用icy。warm“温暖的”、dirty“脏的”、clean“干净的”均与寒冷语境矛盾。
【27题详解】
句意:他穿过破损的车窗游出去,呼吸到新鲜空气。
根据上下文,车辆落水撞击后车窗是破损状态,才能从窗口游出去,应用broken。closed“关闭的”、new“新的”、big“大的”均不符合逻辑。
【28题详解】
句意:当他回头看时,看见家人还困在水下的车里。
根据上下文,Tom已经游出车外透气,应是转头回望车内家人,应用looked back。looked up“向上看”、looked outside“向外看”、looked around“四处环顾”均不符合逻辑。
【29题详解】
句意:Tom深吸一口气,游了回去。
take a deep breath是固定短语,意为“深呼吸”,符合下水救人前的准备动作,应用breath。sleep“睡觉”、drink“饮品”、food“食物”均不符合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:首先,他帮弟弟Ben从车里出来。
根据上下文,Tom下水救人,是帮弟弟逃出车里,应用helped。left“离开”、watched“观看”、called“呼叫”均不符合语境。
【31题详解】
句意:之后他又折返去救不会游泳的妹妹Jane。
根据水下救人场景,妹妹遇到危险是不会游泳,应用swim。speak“说”、run“跑”、drive“开车”均和落水场景无关。
【32题详解】
句意:水里又黑又冷。
“Tom could not see anything”说明水下漆黑,应用dark。sweet“甜的”、clear“清澈的”、bright“明亮的”均与看不见矛盾。
【33题详解】
句意:Tom什么都看不见,所以用手摸索Jane的安全带。
根据看不见东西可知,只能用手摸索安全带位置,应用feel。look“看”、wait“等待”、ask“问”均不符合水下状态。
【34题详解】
句意:他解开它,上来透气,然后把她拉出车子。
根据语境,水下上来是为了呼吸空气,应用air。water“水”、money“钱”、time“时间”均不符合语境。
【35题详解】
句意:后来Tom说他十分害怕,但他只想着救出家人。
根据上下文,遇到这么危险的情况,Tom自己也说当时很害怕,应用afraid。happy“高兴的”、relaxed“放松的”、excited“兴奋的”均不符合险境心理。

【解析】
【导语】本文围绕筷子展开,介绍其使用优势、起源、材质及文化寓意。
【36题详解】
句意:但用筷子,你可以只用一只手轻松地吃食物。修饰动词eat需用副词,结合备选词,easy的副词形式easily符合“轻松吃”的语境。
【37题详解】
句意:在古代中国,筷子被叫做“箸”或“梜”。主语Chopsticks与call之间是被动关系,were后接过去分词called。

【39题详解】
句意:为了吃饭时节省时间,他用两根树枝夹热食。to后接动词原形表目的,save“节省”符合“省时间”的逻辑。

句意:人们在河南安阳殷墟发现了它们(青铜筷子)。found后接宾格,they的宾格是them,指代前文bronze chopsticks。
【43题详解】

【导语】本文作者主要介绍了金庸的武侠小说,对比美式超级英雄电影,讲述书中主角拜师学艺、救人重情义的故事,并推荐这本书。
【46题详解】
句意:这是一部中国武侠小说。主语“It”指代前文的“a book”,后面的“a Chinese Wuxia story”是解释主语是什么,应用be动词。陈述事实用一般现在时,主语第三人称单数be动词用is。故填is。
【47题详解】
句意:读书中英雄们的故事让人热血沸腾。本句是it is+adj.+to do sth.的句型,it作形式主语,真正主语是后面的to read。句首需首字母大写,故填It。

【52题详解】
Bob回答我和一些老人一起锻炼后,A应当先对此事进行评价。结合上下文语境,A对此持肯定态度,故填表示赞许的句子,例如That sounds great/meaningful/Sounds great/That’s nice等均可。

Good morning, everyone! I’m happy to be here for today’s Daily Talk Show. The topic is “Our Hobbies”.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Good morning, everyone! I’m happy to be here for today’s Daily Talk Show. The topic is “Our Hobbies”. Last weekend, I surveyed our class’s hobbies. Here are the results: 40% of us enjoy playing computer games, 35% like reading books or comics, 15% like watching TV or dramas, and only 10% do sports like playing basketball or running.
Clearly, screen-based activities dominate our free time. While games and shows are fun, long screen time can harm our eyesight and make us less active. Sitting for hours also harms our health.
To improve this, I suggest two things. First, set a daily screen limit—for example, no more than one hour for games or TV. Second, take short exercise breaks every 30 minutes.
That’s all. Thanks for listening!
