It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格). ②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home. ③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating. ④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning! 21. What does the underlined word “contrary” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Opposite. B. Similarity. C. Meaning. D. Same. 22. How does the writer develop paragraph 2? A. By explaining the facts. B. By using some numbers. C. By giving an example. D. By comparing two facts. 23. What do we know about the writer from the last paragraph? A. She has found a new way to learn English. B. She has a long way to go to learn English. C. She wants to start learning English again. D. She plans to study in the US for longer. 24. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (① = paragraph 1; ② = paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Communicating like the British and Americans B. Ways of Making Communication Interesting C. The UK and the US: the Common Language, Different Styles D. The UK and the US: Different Countries, Common Cultures C More and more foreign tourists come to China to celebrate the 2026 Year of the Horse. Travel bookings have grown greatly. So far, foreign flight bookings are over four times more than last year. Most visitors are from Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea. Besides, the number of Argentine tourists has increased by 900 percent, and European visitors have also doubled. Today’s tourists are not satisfied with simple sightseeing. They prefer to experience real Chinese traditional culture. At Shanghai Pudong Airport, wonderful calligraphy shows and cultural performances greet foreign guests. Across China, tourists take part in many interesting activities, including making dumplings, writing Spring Festival couplets (春联) and watching lion dances. Shanghai even holds a special horse-themed activity to mix traditional culture with modern styles. Besides Beijing and Shanghai, Harbin has also become a hot tourist city. Its famous ice and snow festivals attract thousands of foreign visitors. This year, international sculpture competitions (冰雕比赛) were held there to show Chinese culture to the world. To welcome foreign guests, China has improved its services greatly. More shops accept foreign bank cards and provide different language services. Airports have made entry steps easier and cut waiting time by 20 percent, bringing tourists more convenient trips. The rising tourism proves that the Spring Festival is getting popular around the world. It builds a good bridge for cultural exchange. China shares its traditional culture with the world, while foreign tourists post their traveling experiences online, helping more people know modern China well. 26.

They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. Floods can be very dangerous. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of floods. Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth. Warmer air can hold more water, leading to heavier rain and stronger storms. Also, dry ground cannot take in water well, so water runs quickly into low land and causes floods. Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse. Large waves push more water onto the land. Scientists say that by the year 2100, serious floods that once happened only once every 100 years may take place every year. Many cities could then face serious danger. So, what can we do to deal with floods? There are some clear ways. First, we can depend on warning systems. These systems can tell people when floods are coming, so everyone has enough time to get to safe places before the disaster hits. Second, we can build sea walls to stop floodwater from spreading onto the land. Third, cities can be turned into “sponge (海绵) cities” by building special streets and green spaces — these features (特征) help take in rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding. Finally, in some specific areas, we can carry out a plan called “managed retreat” that scientists say is the safest way. This means moving people away from these areas that flood again and again. Floods are a big challenge. But if we work together and plan well, we can stay safe and protect our homes. By understanding the causes and taking action, we can make a real difference. Floods mainly come from _________________46_________________. (不超过8词) Why are floods becoming more common?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了男孩Eric因考试压力巨大而对妹妹发脾气，事后反思意识到错误并真诚道歉，最终明白勇敢面对问题才能解决困难的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：虽然老师和他谈了很久，但他对建议置若罔闻。 固定搭配turn a deaf ear to意为“对……充耳不闻、置若罔闻”，应用turned。hunted“猎杀”、visited“拜访”、tested“测试”均无此搭配。 【2题详解】 句意：然而，随着期末考试临近，Eric开始感到紧张。 get closer表示“越来越临近”，贴合考试将至的语境，应用closer。bigger“更大的”、harder“更难的”、heavier“更重的”均不符合时间语境。 【3题详解】 句意：大部分时间感到不耐烦，他容易发脾气，多次和别人打架。 后文说他容易发脾气，说明是不耐烦，应用impatient。imperfect“不完美的”、unhappy“不高兴的”、unfriendly“不友好的”均不符合语境。 【4题详解】 句意：他走进房间，看见妹妹Elsa在他笔记本上画画——这本笔记本是他用来复习难的数学题的。 后文“He hadn’t reviewed that notebook for weeks”可知，这个笔记本是用来复习数学题的，应用reviewing。reading“阅读”、donating“捐赠”、receiving“收到”均不符合笔记本用途。 【5题详解】 句意：他从妹妹手中拿起蜡笔，掰成碎片，对着小女孩大吼。 根据语境，生气的Eric从妹妹手中拿过蜡笔掰断，应用picked up。gave back“归还”、got over“克服”、locked up“锁上”均不符合语境。 【6题详解】 句意：你为什么非要乱动我的东西？ 此处是Eric生气时质问原因，应用Why。How“怎样”、When“什么时候”、Who“谁”均不符合质问逻辑。 【7题详解】 句意：他扑倒在床上。 根据上下文，他情绪激动，应是扑倒在床上，throw oneself on the bed是常用表达，意为“扑倒在床上”，应用threw。spent“花费”、drove“驾驶”、drank“喝”均不能构成该搭配。 【8题详解】 句意：那些画并不像他想的那样乱。 前文提到Elsa在Eric的笔记本上画画，此处是指留在笔记本上的画迹，应用drawings。crayons“蜡笔”、pictures“图片”、reports“报告”均不与前文对应。 【9题详解】 句意：相反，他是生自己的气。 主语是He，对应的反身代词为himself。yourself“你自己”、herself“她自己”、myself“我自己”均不符合。 【10题详解】 句意：他清楚地知道好成绩不依赖完美的笔记。 此处表示心里十分清楚，应用clearly，修饰动词knew。lastly“最后”、simply“简单地”、safely“安全地”均不符合语境。 【11题详解】 句意：他没有用功学习，反倒因为考试压力大，把压力发泄在Elsa身上。 前文提到Eric对考试感到紧张压力大，此处是把压力发泄在妹妹身上，应用pressure。award“奖励”、talent“天赋”、value“价值”均不符合紧张焦虑背景。 【12题详解】 句意：他给了她一个温柔的拥抱并真诚地道歉。 犯错向妹妹道歉，温柔拥抱符合温情场景，应用hug。bow“鞠躬”、shake“握手”、wave“挥手”均不符合情境。 【13题详解】 句意：令他惊讶的是，Elsa拿出另一本干净的笔记本。 妹妹主动准备新笔记本，让Eric很惊讶，应用surprise。success“成功”、pleasure“快乐”、patience“耐心”均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：她告诉Eric，她也为惹Eric生气感到愧疚，所以她秘密地为Eric准备了新笔记本。 前文说Elsa拿出笔记本时，Eric很惊讶，说明准备过程是“秘密”的，应用secretly。properly“合适地”、terribly“糟糕地”、lonely“孤单的”均无法解释惊讶。 【15题详解】 句意：他意识到除非勇敢冷静面对，否则问题永远无法解决。 “he faced them bravely and calmly.”是“problems would never be solved”的否定条件，用unless引导条件状语从句。because“因为”、and“和”、though“虽然”均不符合逻辑。 二、阅读理解。(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读以下三篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A New Volunteer Opportunities at City Animal Shelter Do you love animals?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述英国和美国虽使用同一种语言英语，但在沟通风格上存在显著差异，作者结合自身在两国的学习经历举例说明了这种差异，并指出语言学习远不止发音和拼写。 【21题详解】 根据第②段“So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean.”，后文举例英国人嘴上说“I almost agree”，实际完全不同意，由此可判断contrary含义为“相反的”。 【22题详解】 第②段先提出英国人说话不直接、十分委婉的特点，随后出现标志词“For example”，用英国人表达观点的实例展开论证，本段是通过举例子的方式行文。 【23题详解】 最后一段写明“Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn.”，这句话说明作者在英语学习上还有很多需要学习的内容。 【24题详解】 第①段总述英美英语存在沟通风格差异；第②、③段分别举例介绍英式、美式不同的沟通方式；第④段总结作者的学习感悟，文章为总—分—总结构，对应B选项的示意图。 【25题详解】 文章首段点明主旨“the UK and the US are two countries that are separated by a common language...A big difference is communication styles.”，全文围绕英美共用一门语言、沟通风格却截然不同展开，“The UK and the US: the Common Language, Different Styles”意为“英国与美国：共通的语言，不同的风格”可以精准概括全文核心内容。 C More and more foreign tourists come to China to celebrate the 2026 Year of the Horse.

To show that they were right, they gave two groups of students a problem to work out. ____31____ The result showed the students who slept worked out the answer more quickly. At the same time, a recent study shows many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. According to the Ministry of Education, primary school students should get at least 10 hours of sleep a night. ____32____ The answer is nine. If they don’t get enough sleep at night, they will face more challenging situations in schoolwork. Schools are taking action to make sure the students can get enough sleep. ____33____ Three reasons are mentioned for the problem. Firstly, they spend hours in scrolling (滚动), such as Douyin and WeChat. Hours of watching the mobile phones can be harmful to their eyes and cause students to sleep less. ____34____ They may work overtime to get the job finished and they can’t watch over the kids. Lastly, drinks like tea or coffee can also keep them excited and awake. ____35____ For example, they should avoid using mobile phones too much, and drink something like milk before going to bed. Only if schools, families and students join hands together can students get enough sleep and be at their best in schoolwork. A. But researchers say many students still sleep less. B. Group One went to sleep, and Group Two stayed awake. C. Then how much sleep should middle school students need? D. In fact, students themselves should also take sleep seriously. E. Without a good sleep, students have problems of study at school. F. Secondly, busy parents may fail to remind them to sleep on time. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 34. F 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了充足睡眠对学生的重要性。 【31题详解】 空前一句提到科学家将学生分为“two groups”（两组），空后一句对比了睡觉的学生结果更快。选项B“Group One went to sleep, and Group Two stayed awake.”具体说明了这两组学生在实验中的不同安排，承上启下，符合实验过程描述。 【32题详解】 空后一句直接回答“The answer is nine.”（答案是九小时）。这说明空前必须是一个关于睡眠时长的疑问句。选项C“Then how much sleep should middle school students need?”询问中学生需要多少睡眠，与下文的回答完美衔接。 【33题详解】 空前说学校正在采取行动确保睡眠，空后说“提到了问题的三个原因”。中间需要转折指出问题依然存在。选项A“But researchers say many students still sleep less.”用But转折，指出尽管学校行动，学生睡眠仍然不足，从而引出下文对原因的分析。 【34题详解】 本段列举原因，空前有“Firstly”，空后有“Lastly”。此处缺少第二个原因。选项F“Secondly, busy parents may fail to remind them to sleep on time.”以Secondly开头，且内容涉及父母忙碌，与后文“work overtime”（加班）相呼应。 【35题详解】 本段后文列举了学生具体应该做的建议（如少用手机、喝牛奶）。选项D“In fact, students themselves should also take sleep seriously.”提出学生自己也应重视睡眠，作为主题句引出后文具体的行动建议。 三、短文填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 work warm surprise organization inspire practical success provide miss effort In Hubei Province, a group of students at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) developed an AI system to restore (修复) old photos.

They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. Floods can be very dangerous. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of floods. Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth. Warmer air can hold more water, leading to heavier rain and stronger storms. Also, dry ground cannot take in water well, so water runs quickly into low land and causes floods. Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse. Large waves push more water onto the land. Scientists say that by the year 2100, serious floods that once happened only once every 100 years may take place every year. Many cities could then face serious danger. So, what can we do to deal with floods? There are some clear ways. First, we can depend on warning systems. These systems can tell people when floods are coming, so everyone has enough time to get to safe places before the disaster hits. Second, we can build sea walls to stop floodwater from spreading onto the land. Third, cities can be turned into “sponge (海绵) cities” by building special streets and green spaces — these features (特征) help take in rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding. Finally, in some specific areas, we can carry out a plan called “managed retreat” that scientists say is the safest way. This means moving people away from these areas that flood again and again. Floods are a big challenge. But if we work together and plan well, we can stay safe and protect our homes. By understanding the causes and taking action, we can make a real difference. Floods mainly come from _________________46_________________. (不超过8词) Why are floods becoming more common?

Heavy rains or big waves ( from the sea) 47. The rising temperature of the Earth. The rising sea levels. 48. Depend on warning systems 49. Carry out a plan 50. We should quickly move to higher ground or safe shelters away from the water. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了洪水的成因、洪水变得愈发频繁的原因以及人类应对洪水的措施。 【46题详解】 根据文章第1段“They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea.”可推知洪水的主要来源是大雨或大海的大浪。 【47题详解】 根据文章第2段“one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth.（一个主要原因是地球气温上升。）”和“Another important reason is rising sea levels（另一个重要原因是海平面上升）”可推知洪水变常见的两个原因。 【48题详解】 根据文章第3段”First, we can depend on warning systems.”可推知第一条应对措施是依赖预警系统。 【49题详解】 根据文章第3段“we can carry out a plan called ‘managed retreat’”可推知最后一条措施的具体行动是实施一个称为“管理性撤退”的计划。 【50题详解】 根据文章第3段“everyone has enough time to get to safe places”并结合实际，遇到洪水应听从预警撤离。 第二节 书面表达(共1题，满分15分) 51. 时光匆匆，两年初中生活精彩纷呈，回想过往，你哪方面有了明显成长？哪些方面还需要提高？暑假即将到来，如何安排以遇上更好的自己？请根据以下思维导图，写一段短文分享下吧！ 要求：1．内容须包含以下要点，可适当发挥； 2．文中不得出现真实姓名。 3．词数不少于80词。 Time flies!
