A. flute B. cut C. but D. hunt 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：字母“u”在单词“flute”中的发音不同。 考查字母发音辨析。flute中的u发/uː/音；cut中的u发/ʌ/音；but中的u发/ʌ/音；hunt中的u发/ʌ/音。根据“The letter ‘u’ in the word...is pronounced differently”可知需要找出u发音不同的单词，A选项的u发音与其他三个不同。故选A。 2.

A. note B. symbol C. mark D. sign 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在9月3日的阅兵期间，成千上万的鸽子在天安门广场被放飞，这被视为中国希望世界和平的象征。 考查名词词义辨析。note笔记；symbol象征，指一个物体、行为或事件因其传统、约定或联想而代表某种抽象思想、品质或概念；mark标记，通常指一个可见的印记、一个标准或一个物理痕迹，不强调其深层的代表性；sign标志，通常指显示某物存在或即将发生的可察觉的指标，或者用于提供信息的公共标志。根据“thousands of doves (鸽子) were set free over Tian’anmen Square”可知，放飞鸽子这一庄严仪式性的行为，象征着世界和平这个抽象概念。故选B。 4. —Did you do ____________ interesting on your holiday? —No, ____________ special. But I met someone interesting. A. anything; anything B. something; nothing C. anything; nothing D. something; anything 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你假期做了什么有趣的事吗？——没有，没什么特别的。但我遇到了一些有趣的人。 考查不定代词的用法。anything任何事，常用于否定句和疑问句；something一些事，常用于肯定句；nothing没有什么。第一个空位于在疑问句中，询问假期是否做了任何有趣的事，用anything；第二个空，根据“No”可知，此处指没做什么特别的事情，用nothing。故选C。 5. —Please remind me to take my passport before I leave.

A. disappointed B. sick C. pleasant D. forgetful 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——请提醒我在离开前带上我的护照。我这些天有点健忘。——好的，我会的。 考查形容词辨析。disappointed失望的；sick生病的；pleasant愉快的；forgetful健忘的。根据“Please remind me to take my passport before I leave.”可知，说话人要求提醒带护照，表明容易忘记事情，forgetful符合语境。故选D。 6. —Don’t spend too much on holiday shopping, or you might ____________ go over budget. —You have a point! That’s why a well-planned list is so important. A. especially B. easily C. probably D. actually 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不要在假日购物上花太多钱，否则你可能会容易超支。——你说得对！这就是为什么一个计划好的清单如此重要。 考查副词辨析。especially特别地；easily容易地；probably可能地；actually实际上。根据答语“That’s why a well-planned list is so important.”可知，强调计划清单的重要性可知，此处表示购物时容易超支。故选B。 7. —I can’t ____________ my life without my pets. They mean a lot to me. —I know exactly what you mean. A. forget B. compare C. believe D. imagine 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——没有我的宠物，我无法想象我的生活。它们对我很重要。——我完全明白你的意思。 考查动词辨析。forget忘记；compare比较；believe相信；imagine想象。根据“my life without my pets”可知，此处表达无法想象没有宠物的生活，强调宠物的重要性。故选D。 8. —You know what?

Grandma looks really young in it. — Of course! It’s a beautiful photo. Let’s find the perfect spot for it. A. hang up B. hang out C. turn up D. turn out 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能帮我把照片挂在墙上吗？奶奶在里面看起来很年轻。——当然！这是一张漂亮的照片。让我们找个完美的地方放它。 根据“the photo on the wall”可知，此处指把照片挂在墙上。hang up意为“挂起”，符合语境；hang out意为“闲逛”；turn up 意为“调高”；turn out意为“结果是”，均不符合题意。 10. The saying “Home is where the heart is” tells us ____________. A. where we can find home B. where we can find the heart C. what home really means D. that home is just a place 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：谚语“家是心之所向”告诉我们家的真正含义。 考查谚语理解。where we can find home我们能在哪里找到家，偏离谚语重点；where we can find the heart我们能在哪里找到心，误解谚语；what home really means家真正意味着什么，准确概括谚语核心；that home is just a place家只是一个地方，与谚语含义相反。该谚语强调家的情感本质而非物理位置。故选C。 三、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 New star shines in Chinese basketball.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了大学生王俊杰入选中国男篮国家队，在2025年亚洲杯上表现出色，虽惜败但创造佳绩的励志故事。 【11题详解】 句意：今年夏天，20岁的大学生王俊杰吸引了全中国篮球迷的关注。 此处指王俊杰吸引了球迷的目光，故选caught“抓住，吸引”。saw“看见”；opened“打开”；touched“触碰”，无此固定搭配含义。 【12题详解】 句意：当大多数学生都在享受假期时，王俊杰加入了中国国家篮球队。 此处说明学生们正处于假期时间，enjoy one’s break意为“享受假期”符合语境。work“工作”和books“书”不符合享受的语境，games“游戏”范围太窄。 【13题详解】 句意：中国男篮通往决赛的旅程并不容易。 根据语境指参赛的整个过程，journey常喻指历程或旅程，符合语境。trip侧重短途旅行，way侧重方式，plan侧重计划，均不如journey贴切。 【14题详解】 句意：8月18日，他们与澳大利亚队进行了一场艰苦的决赛。 此处指对阵澳大利亚，固定搭配“play against”表示“与……对抗/比赛”，符合句意。with表示合作，for表示目的，about表示关于。 【15题详解】 句意：比分一直胶着到最后，中国男篮以89比90惜败。 根据语境表示比分持续接近直到结束，until强调状态的持续性，符合题意。at指时间点，after“在……之后”和 before“在……之前”逻辑不通。 【16题详解】 句意：尽管仅以一分之差失利，但这已是他们近10年来的最佳成绩。 此处表示将近10年，almost 10 years“将近10年”符合表达。hardly表否定，mostly表大部分，already表已经，均不符。 【17题详解】 句意：王俊杰入选了赛事的全明星五人组。 此处表示王俊杰入选了赛事的全明星五人组，“be named to”表示“被列为/入选”，符合语境。invited“邀请”，asked“要求”和sent“发送”语义不符。 【18题详解】 句意：由于从未参加过职业联赛，王俊杰的故事十分特别。 从未打职业联赛直接入选，说明故事很独特，special“特别的”符合语境。common“普遍的”与句意相反，terrible“糟糕的”贬义，familiar“熟悉的”不符事实。 【19题详解】 句意：他是近20年来首位直接从学校篮球队入选国家队的球员。 此处表示直接从学校篮球队入选国家队的球员，“come straight from”表示“直接来自”，符合语境。slowly“缓慢地” 和easily“容易地”不符逻辑，especially“特别地”语意不通。 【20题详解】 句意：他的海外经历至关重要。 此处表示其训练经历对成长很重要，key“关键的”符合语境。comfortable“舒服的”与后文struggle“困境，挣扎”矛盾，fantastic“精彩的”和lively“生动的”侧重感受。 【21题详解】 句意：2019年他在澳大利亚的NBA全球学院接受训练 此处表示在学院学习篮球，trained“训练”符合句意。guided“指导”，fought“战斗”和lived“居住”不符。 【22题详解】 句意：据新华社报道，他如今效力于旧金山大学。 此处引出消息来源，according to意为“根据、据……”，符合句意。because of“因为”表原因，instead of“替代”，thanks to“幸亏”，均不符。 【23题详解】 句意：这段旅程是艰难的。 根据后文坐冷板凳、孤独，可知过程艰难，difficult“艰难的”符合语境。interesting“有趣的”不符，short“短的”和different“不同的”未体现困难。 【24题详解】 句意：他经常感到失落和孤独。 根据前文“从主力变为替补”，心理状态通常是消极的，lost“迷失的/失落的”符合语境，excited“激动的”、happy“高兴的”和proud“自豪的”均为积极情绪，与语境矛盾。 【25题详解】 句意：他平时总是面带微笑，但决赛后，他忍不住流下了眼泪。 平时爱笑，赛后哭了，前后句是转折关系，此处填连词but“但是”表示转折。so“因此”表因果，and“和”表并列，because“因为”表原因，均不符。 四、阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面三篇材料，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A A Camp Bridging Age Gap Through Shared Learning At a special camp in Southern California, teens and “grandmas” come together to learn. The grandmas teach the children practical skills like cooking and sewing. This program, run by Olive Community Services, not only helps fight loneliness in seniors, but also gives kids knowledge they can’t always get in school. More than just learning skills, the camp builds a friendly bridge between different generations (代，辈), proving that everyone has something valuable to share. Teens Using AI for Advice and Friendship A new study shows that many teenagers are now using AI for more than homework. They are turning to AI for personal advice, emotional (情感的) support, and daily decisions. Many teens now view AI as part of their broader digital community. While teens say AI is always helpful, researchers worry that depending on AI for friendship could harm the development of social skills. Experts note that these “AI friends” should not replace (取代) real-world relationships with people. ________ Ziva Vestal, a blind 14-year-old from Ohio, wrote a letter to her city council asking for audio signals at crosswalks to help people like her. Ziva wrote the letter in braille (盲文), a system of raised dots she learned at a very young age. The mayor said the city will consider her request for future improvements.

It is a large garden with soft, green grass. Here and there, over the grass, stand beautiful flowers, like stars. The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. “What are you doing here?” he shouts in a very angry voice. The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn’t seen a child there. Then spring comes. But in the Giant’s garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year,” says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon. ” But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant’s garden. One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven’t heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last. ” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside. The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I’ve been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn’t come here. He knocks down the wall. The children look scared. “ ★ ” the Giant says. “It’s your garden now. ” 31. Spring doesn’t come to the Giant’s garden might because ________.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自童话《自私的巨人》，讲述巨人赶走孩子、筑起高墙后花园常年寒冬，醒悟后拆除围墙，接纳孩子共享花园的故事，告诉我们分享才会拥有美好的道理。 【31题详解】 根据原文第七段“The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers.”以及巨人醒悟的句子“Now I know why spring wouldn’t come here.”可知，春天不来是因为花园里没有孩子，缺少生机。 【32题详解】 根据原文第八段“The children look scared.”孩子们十分害怕，巨人拆除围墙想要接纳他们，所以应是安抚孩子的话语。 【33题详解】 根据原文第八段“He knocks down the wall.”巨人拆掉围墙，不再独占花园，这句话是欢迎孩子们一起来分享花园。 【34题详解】 第二段巨人看到孩子闯入花园十分生气；第四、五段花园常年寒冬，春秋都不来，巨人内心失望；第六、七段某天听见鸟鸣看到花开，内心惊讶；第八段醒悟后拆除围墙接纳孩子，内心喜悦。完整情绪：Angry-Disappointed-Surprised-Joyful。 【35题详解】 通读全文，巨人已经改掉自私的毛病，愿意和孩子共享花园，最合理的情节是孩子们在花园玩耍，巨人主动帮助最小的孩子爬树。 C Easton LaChappelle, a 14-year-old student, stood beside his work at a science fair.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述少年Easton LaChappelle在科技展见到假肢女孩后，潜心研发轻便低成本机械假肢，并免费公开设计造福儿童的故事。 【36题详解】 根据上下文，Easton 得知 Jenny 的假肢昂贵且儿童需要频繁更换，而自己的制作成本很低，因此他想“帮助”像她这样的人。短语“lend a hand to”意为“向……伸出援手”，即提供帮助。 【37题详解】 根据文章第六段“His design only weighed 0. 5 kilograms and cost around $500!”可知，最终的设计既轻便（0.5 公斤）又便宜（约 500 美元），解决了传统假肢重且贵的问题，因此对儿童很有帮助。 【38题详解】 梳理文章时间线：①14 岁时用塑料积木制作机器人手臂（c）；②在科技展上遇到戴假肢的女孩（b）；③16 岁生日得到 3D 打印机后改进设计为脑控（a）；④23 岁成功后免费在网上分享设计（d）。正确顺序为 c-b-a-d。 【39题详解】 Easton 决心帮助残障儿童并不求回报，体现了他的关爱之心（Caring）；他不断改进技术，从塑料积木到 3D 打印脑控手臂，体现了他的创造力（Creative）。 【40题详解】 文章讲述了Easton发明轻便廉价的假肢帮助他人的故事。“A Helping Hand”一语双关，既指他发明的“假肢”（手），也指他提供的“帮助”，最能概括全文核心。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共40分) 五、词语短语填空(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，然后从下面方框中所给的单词或短语中选词填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) Except exchanged alike expected difference Besides promise The prince, Edward, and the poor boy, Tom, are the two characters in Mark Twain’s famous novel The Prince and the Pauper.
