My first trip to the UK was truly an interesting experience. Everything was new and exciting, but I ____1____. On the first day at school, a friendly classmate came up to me. She put out her hand to ____2____, but I was so nervous that I bowed to her instead! It was ____3____ for her. Later, my host family told me that in the UK, bowing is not common and people usually greet each other with a handshake.
The most difficult part was the table manners. I didn’t know which fork to use ____4____. I watched my host mother carefully and followed her. I learned that it is ____5____ to keep your elbows off the table and always say “please” and “thank you”.
【答案】1. E 2. C
3. B 4. D
5. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者第一次去英国的经历,记叙了打招呼、正式晚宴餐桌礼仪两件因文化差异闹出的趣事,体现不同国家的文化礼仪区别。
【1题详解】
句意:一切都新鲜又令人激动,但我犯了文化方面的错误。句子主语是I,空格处缺少谓语,E选项“made cultural mistakes”是动词短语可作谓语,契合后文鞠躬失礼的文化失误事例。
【2题详解】
句意:她伸出手想要握手,可我太过紧张,反而向她鞠躬了!空前的to是不定式符号,后需接动词原形,C选项“shake hands”中的“shake”是动词原形,匹配伸出手的目的。
【3题详解】
句意:这对她来说是一个令人困惑的瞬间。本句为主系表结构,空格处作表语。B选项“a confusing moment”是名词短语,贴合前文对方伸手握手,我却向对方鞠躬的尴尬场景。
【4题详解】
句意:在正式晚宴上我不知道该使用哪一把叉子。句子主谓结构完整,空格处需要地点类介词短语作状语,补充用餐场景。D选项“at a formal dinner”是地点介词短语,和前文“table manners”餐桌礼仪呼应。
【5题详解】
句意:我了解到吃饭时手肘不搭在桌上、常说“请”和“谢谢”才是得体的方式。空格处作表语,A选项“a proper way”是名词短语,意为“得体恰当的方式”,可作表语。空后的动词不定式“to keep your elbows off the table and always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’”作后置定语,用于说明“a proper way”的具体内容。
六、补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍A与Tom偶遇,围绕Tom手中一本介绍中国文化的书籍展开交流,二人依次谈论书籍来源、阅读体验、书籍内容,最后A向Tom借阅该书。
【6题详解】
A主动打招呼后提出疑问,Tom回答手中是一本有关中国文化的书。此处需要问句引出物品,C项“What are you reading?”询问对方在读什么,衔接下文。
【7题详解】
A听完书籍主题表示感兴趣后抛出语句,Tom回应在此书之前自己也没有读过相关内容。E项“I haven’t read anything about China yet.”表示自己此前从未读过有关中国的读物,与答句形成完整表达。
【8题详解】
A进行提问,Tom介绍书中包含茶的历史、各类茶叶与茶道相关内容。A项“What’s it about?”用于询问书籍具体内容,对应后文对书本内容的详细介绍,自然承接。
【9题详解】
Tom完整讲述完书本包含的茶文化内容后补充评价,A随即感叹并提出借书请求。D项“It’s well worth reading.”夸赞这本书值得一读,承接前文书籍内容介绍,衔接下文。

When Anna visited Xi’an with her parents, she joined a calligraphy class at Beilin Museum. The museum had a lot of ancient calligraphy works, and Anna found them very ____11____.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述安娜在西安碑林博物馆参加书法课的经历。她不仅了解了汉字的演变历史,还亲自体验了毛笔字的书写,感悟到文字承载的历史与美。
【11题详解】
句意:博物馆里有许多古代书法作品,安娜觉得它们很特别。
根据前文“ancient calligraphy works”可知,古代的书法作品会让安娜觉得很特别,modern(现代的)与ancient (古代的)矛盾,powerful(有力量的)不符合语境。
【12题详解】
句意:起初,她认为书法只是用毛笔写字,看起来很容易。
根据下文“picked up a…brush”可知,书法是用毛笔写的,pencil“铅笔”和pen“钢笔”不符合常识和下文提示。
【13题详解】
句意:吴老师给全班展示了一些来自动物骨头和旧物品上的古老汉字。
根据下文“animal bones ”可知,老师展示的是古老的汉字(如甲骨文),drawings“图画”和stories“故事”不符合上下文逻辑。
【14题详解】
句意:他说很多汉字在很久以前看起来像图画。
根据下文“The Chinese character ‘ma’ looks like a horse”可知,早期的象形文字看起来像图画,古人没有照片,也不是石头。
【15题详解】
句意:汉字“马”看起来像一匹马,而“山”看起来像三个高点。
根据图片提示以及“three high points”可知,这是“山”字的象形文字,river“河”和desert“沙漠”形状不符。
【16题详解】
句意:这帮助安娜理解了汉字是如何演变的。
根据前文老师的讲解和举例,可知这些内容帮助她“理解”了汉字的演变过程,而不是去描述或比较。
【17题详解】
句意:然后每个学生拿起一支柔软的毛笔开始写字。
根据常识和下文“difficult to control”可知,毛笔的笔头是柔软的,所以难以控制,surprising“令人惊讶的”和strange“奇怪的”不符合语境。
【18题详解】
句意:安娜很快发现很难控制毛笔,因为每一个笔画都需要耐心。
根据语境,写书法时需要一笔一划地写,stroke意为“笔画”,符合语境,step“步骤”和line“线条”不准确。
【19题详解】
句意:很快她成功地写出了一个完整的汉字。
根据前文“keep trying”和后文“felt proud”可知,她经过努力成功写出了一个字,manage to do sth.意为“设法做成某事”,decided“决定”和expected“期望”不符合逻辑。
【20题详解】
句意:离开前,安娜说这节课不仅仅教了她一项新技能。
根据句意“did more than teach her a new skill”可知,这节课起到的作用不止于此,用动词did表示“做”,构成“do more than”结构,gave“给”和told“告诉”搭配不当。

【导语】本文是一篇应用文,是一份学校健康宣传海报。海报向学生们介绍了洗手的重要性、洗手的时机、正确的洗手步骤以及没有水和肥皂时的替代方法,旨在教育学生通过保持双手清洁来维护健康。
【21题详解】
根据海报标题“Clean Hands, Healthy School”以及全文关于洗手重要性、洗手时机和正确洗手方法的详细介绍可知,该页面的主要目的是教导学生如何通过洗手来保持健康。
【22题详解】
根据海报中“When should students wash hands?”板块下的“After”一列中明确列出了“touching animals”,可知学生在接触动物后应该洗手。
【23题详解】
根据海报中“How to wash hands well?”板块的Step 3“Clean the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.”可知,学生在这一步需要清洁手背、指缝以及指甲下方。
【24题详解】
根据海报中“What if there is no soap or water?”板块的内容“Use hand sanitizer...”可知,当没有肥皂或水时,学生应该使用免洗洗手液。

文章最后一句话是“Clean hands protect yourself and the people around you.”,干净的手有助于保护我们所有人,这与选项B“Clean hands help protect us all.”所表达的核心观点完美契合。
B
a
Water is important to life. Every living thing on Earth needs water in some way. Some living things are at the bottom of the ocean, and some live in very dry places. Because water helps life live, scientists look for water when they try to learn if life could be found on other planets.
b
About 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by water. Most of this water is in the oceans, and ocean water is salty. Fresh water takes up a much smaller part. Much of Earth’s fresh water is stored in ice, and some of it stays in lakes and rivers.
c
Ice is special because it floats (漂浮) on water. This happens because ice is less dense (密度) than water. We can see floating ice in cold places near the North and South Poles. Scientists use satellites to watch sea ice, because changes in sea ice can tell them something about our changing planet.
d
Water is also important inside living things. On average, about 60% of the human body is water. Plants need water too. Water moves from the roots up to the leaves through very thin tubes. Scientists can study this water movement to learn about the health of trees and crops.
26. Why do scientists search for water on other planets?
A. It covers much of Earth.
B. It is needed by living things.
C. It moves inside some plants.
27. How does passage b mainly show Earth’s water condition?
A. By giving examples.
B. By telling stories about oceans.
C. By giving numbers and places.
28. What can scientists learn by watching sea ice?
A. How ice floats. B. How water freezes. C. How Earth changes.
29. Why does passage d mention water in humans and plants?
A. To explain how roots grow.
B. To show water’s importance to life.
C. To compare people with trees.
30. Which topics do the four passages belong to?
① Water and living things ② Water on Earth
A. ① — a, d; ② — b, c B. ① — a, b; ② — c, d C. ① — b, d; ② — a, c
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. C 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕水展开,分别介绍了水对生命的重要性、地球上水资源的分布、冰的特性与作用,以及水在生物体内的功能,展现了水与地球、生命的紧密联系。
【26题详解】
A部分指出“Because water helps life live, scientists look for water when they try to learn if life could be found on other planets.”,因此,科学家在其他星球寻找水,是因为水是生命生存的必要条件。
【27题详解】
B部分提到“About 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by water.”以及列举了海洋、冰、湖泊、河流这些地点,是通过给出数字和地点的方式来说明地球的水资源状况。
【28题详解】
C部分“Scientists use satellites to watch sea ice, because changes in sea ice can tell them something about our changing planet”表明科学家通过观察海冰可以了解地球的变化。
【29题详解】
D部分表明“Water is also important inside living things.”,接着用人体和植物中的水作为例子,目的是展示水在生命中的重要作用。
【30题详解】
主题①Water and living things对应a部分和d部分。主题②Water on Earth对应b部分和c部分。
C
What is the largest living structure on Earth? You may think of a forest, but the answer is the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef lies in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It is about 2,300 kilometres long and covers an area of about 344,400 square kilometres. It is so large that people can even see it from space. However, it is not one single reef. It is made up of nearly 3,000 smaller reefs.
Why is it called a living structure? A coral reef is built by tiny coral animals over a very long time. As these small animals grow, they leave hard parts behind. Slowly, these hard parts join together and form reefs. In this way, very small living things can build something surprisingly large.
The Great Barrier Reef is also important to ocean life. Many fish and other sea animals find food, hide from danger and raise their young there. It helps people too. Reefs can slow down strong waves, so they help protect coastlines. They also bring jobs to local people through fishing, diving and travel.
Today, much of the Great Barrier Reef is a marine (海洋的) protected area. This means people are trying to look after it more carefully. The reef shows us that nature can build wonders slowly, and we should protect them before they are lost.
31. Why does the writer begin the text with a question?
A. To list a fact.
B. To show a place.
C. To draw readers’ attention.
32. What does paragraph 2 mainly introduce about the Great Barrier Reef?
A. Its location and size. B. Its animals and food. C. Its structure and size.
33. How do tiny coral animals help build coral reefs?
A. They bring fish together.
B. They make waves slow down.
C. They leave hard parts to form reefs.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about the Great Barrier Reef?
A. It is a good place for travel.
B. It is a safe place for young fish.
C. It is useful to sea life and people.
35. Where would this text most probably appear?
A. In a travel guide. B. In a local job notice. C. In a science magazine.
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了地球上最大的活体构造——大堡礁,讲述了它的位置规模、形成原因、对海洋生物与人类的作用以及保护现状。
【31题详解】
文章开头用问句“What is the largest living structure on Earth?”引出话题,这种开篇提问的方式是为了吸引读者的阅读注意力。
【32题详解】
第二段指出“The Great Barrier Reef lies in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It is about 2,300 kilometres long and covers an area of about 344,400 square kilometres.”,本段介绍了大堡礁的地理位置和尺寸大小。
【33题详解】
第三段指出“As these small animals grow, they leave hard parts behind. Slowly, these hard parts join together and form reefs.”,微小珊瑚虫生长后留下硬质残骸,残骸聚集形成珊瑚礁。
【34题详解】

Volunteering is good for others, but it is also good for you. When you spend time helping people or solving a community problem, you may begin to understand the world around you better. You can also build useful skills, such as working with others, speaking clearly, planning time and solving problems. These experiences may help you become more confident. They can even help you find what you are interested in for the future.
Before you volunteer, think carefully about three things. First, be honest about your time and energy. If you are busy with schoolwork, choose something you can do once in a while or online. Second, keep yourself safe. Learn about the place before you go, and you can volunteer with friends or an adult at first. Third, choose the right activity. A good volunteer job should match both your interests and your abilities. For example, if you enjoy drawing, you may help design posters for a school event.
How can you get started? Make a list of your interests and strengths first. Then look for chances in your school, library, community center or online. Thirdly, you can also ask teachers, parents or neighbors for ideas. After that, contact the group politely. Tell them what you can do and how much time you can give.
Volunteering is not just about giving help. It is also a way to learn, grow and become part of something bigger.

根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
I think everyone has something they don’t like about themselves. For me, it was the birthmark on my face. It was bright red, the colour of a strawberry.
Sometimes, I felt people secretly looking at my face. But when I turned my head, they looked away. On buses and trains, it felt just like a disaster. With so many people around me, my birthmark burnt red hot. Therefore, I always kept my hair long to cover it until that day.
It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. She sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so nervous. Clouds came through the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she said something I would never forget.
“Sally, right?” she said. “You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!”
I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. It was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!
I haven’t told Maddie the whole story yet. Anyway, she has changed me. I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something special and different—that is what’s interesting.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了女孩萨莉因脸上的胎记而自卑,新同学麦迪将胎记比作美丽的红玫瑰并在自己脸上画玫瑰,帮助萨莉接纳自己,明白每个人都有特别之处的故事。
【56题详解】
第1段“I think everyone has something they don’t like about themselves. For me, it was the birthmark on my face.”,作者起初不喜欢她的胎记。因此答案是原文直接信息。
【57题详解】
第5段“It was truly like a flower.”及第6段“Everyone has something special and different”,作者现在认为胎记是美丽的或特别的。
【58题详解】
第3段“Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so nervous.”,说明她初次见到麦迪时感到紧张。答案需要进行概括和提炼。
【59题详解】
第4段“You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!”及第5段“Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!”,麦迪通过赞美胎记并在自己脸上画玫瑰来帮助萨莉改变想法。答案需要将这两点进行整合。
【60题详解】
本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一,结合第6段“I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something special and different”,推知我们应接纳自己,每个人都有特别之处。合理作答即可。

Water is important to life. Every living thing on Earth needs water in some way. Some living things are at the bottom of the ocean, and some live in very dry places. Because water helps life live, scientists look for water when they try to learn if life could be found on other planets.
b
About 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by water. Most of this water is in the oceans, and ocean water is salty. Fresh water takes up a much smaller part. Much of Earth’s fresh water is stored in ice, and some of it stays in lakes and rivers.
c
Ice is special because it floats (漂浮) on water. This happens because ice is less dense (密度) than water. We can see floating ice in cold places near the North and South Poles. Scientists use satellites to watch sea ice, because changes in sea ice can tell them something about our changing planet.
d
Water is also important inside living things. On average, about 60% of the human body is water. Plants need water too. Water moves from the roots up to the leaves through very thin tubes. Scientists can study this water movement to learn about the health of trees and crops.
26. Why do scientists search for water on other planets?
A. It covers much of Earth.
B. It is needed by living things.
C. It moves inside some plants.
27. How does passage b mainly show Earth’s water condition?
A. By giving examples.
B. By telling stories about oceans.
C. By giving numbers and places.
28. What can scientists learn by watching sea ice?
A. How ice floats. B. How water freezes. C. How Earth changes.
29. Why does passage d mention water in humans and plants?
A. To explain how roots grow.
B. To show water’s importance to life.
C. To compare people with trees.
30. Which topics do the four passages belong to?
① Water and living things ② Water on Earth
A. ① — a, d; ② — b, c B. ① — a, b; ② — c, d C. ① — b, d; ② — a, c
C
What is the largest living structure on Earth? You may think of a forest, but the answer is the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef lies in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It is about 2,300 kilometres long and covers an area of about 344,400 square kilometres. It is so large that people can even see it from space. However, it is not one single reef. It is made up of nearly 3,000 smaller reefs.
Why is it called a living structure? A coral reef is built by tiny coral animals over a very long time. As these small animals grow, they leave hard parts behind. Slowly, these hard parts join together and form reefs. In this way, very small living things can build something surprisingly large.
The Great Barrier Reef is also important to ocean life. Many fish and other sea animals find food, hide from danger and raise their young there. It helps people too. Reefs can slow down strong waves, so they help protect coastlines. They also bring jobs to local people through fishing, diving and travel.
Today, much of the Great Barrier Reef is a marine (海洋的) protected area. This means people are trying to look after it more carefully. The reef shows us that nature can build wonders slowly, and we should protect them before they are lost.
31. Why does the writer begin the text with a question?
A. To list a fact.
B. To show a place.
C. To draw readers’ attention.
32. What does paragraph 2 mainly introduce about the Great Barrier Reef?
A. Its location and size. B. Its animals and food. C. Its structure and size.
33. How do tiny coral animals help build coral reefs?
A. They bring fish together.
B. They make waves slow down.
C. They leave hard parts to form reefs.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about the Great Barrier Reef?
A. It is a good place for travel.
B. It is a safe place for young fish.
C. It is useful to sea life and people.
35. Where would this text most probably appear?
A. In a travel guide. B. In a local job notice. C. In a science magazine.
