【21题详解】
句意:它为那些因风暴、地震或其他自然灾害而生活发生改变的人们带来帮助和希望。

Ⅷ.阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,计分40分)
A
This year’s summer vacation is one of my best memories. To make the most of the two-month holiday, I took part in a volunteer project in Penang, the second biggest city in Malaysia.
In the project called Aspire to Inspire, volunteers were asked to design workshops (讲习班) to get kids more interested in science. This project was based on a survey which showed that young kids in Malaysia were losing interest in science. Many kids now want to become entrepreneurs (企业家) in the future instead of scientists or engineers.
To help kids enjoy science, we designed some interesting science experiments. We also taught them how to use easy programming (编程) tools and played brain training games with them.
To be honest, this project was a little hard for me. First, it was not easy for me to hold a workshop in English for hours. Before each workshop, I had to check many new words and practice many times to speak clearly. What’s more, the kids were active most of the time, so it was hard to keep them focused in class.
Luckily, I was not alone. There were ten volunteers in our project. Although we came from different countries, we worked with each other well. In order to help students focus on our lessons, we set up class rules. These rules were not as serious as school rules. They were more like some games. Every time there was too much noise, we would play these games to calm them down. That always worked.
This is my unforgettable summer vacation. Although I was worried a lot before going to Malaysia, in the end, I brought back lots of wonderful memories.
36. What was the purpose of the Aspire to Inspire project?
A. To teach Chinese to Malaysian children.
B. To help children become entrepreneurs.
C. To provide workshop training for volunteers.
D. To make science more interesting for young kids.
37. What activities did the volunteers organize for the kids?
① mind games ② business lessons
③ programming classes ④ science experiments
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
38. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A personal diary.
C. A travel guide. D. A science fiction book.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者暑期在马来西亚参加志愿者项目的经历。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the project called Aspire to Inspire, volunteers were asked to design workshops to get kids more interested in science.”可知,该项目的目的是让孩子对科学更感兴趣。故选D。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“we designed some interesting science experiments. We also taught them how to use easy programming tools and played brain training games with them.”可知,志愿者组织的活动包括科学实验 (④)、编程课程 (③)和脑力训练游戏 (①,“brain training games”与“mind games”含义相近);而②“商业课程”在文中未提及,文中仅提到“许多孩子未来想成为企业家”,并非志愿者开设了商业课程,因此排除含②的选项。故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。文章以第一人称“我”的视角展开,包含大量个人感受和经历描述,如“this year’s summer vacation is one of my best memories”、“this project was a little hard for me”和“I brought back lots of wonderful memories”,符合个人日记记录自身经历和感受的特征;因此,本文最有可能出自一篇个人日记。故选B。
B
One day, on my way back home, half an apple flew towards me. It just landed in front of my feet. Surprised, I felt I was so lucky that it didn’t hit me.
I live beside a school. There is a wall between my neighbourhood and the school. I guessed it was a student who threw the apple over the wall. Thinking it was a small accident, I didn’t care about it anymore and just kept going. Then I forgot it.
A week later, when I passed by the same place, a bad apple came again. This time, it landed on the roof next to the wall. I thought to myself, “Is it my destiny(命运)to get hit by an apple?”
Yesterday, when I was walking back home, my mind got lost in a new movie. But suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted(打断)by another apple. And it was big and flew so fast.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. Someone could get hurt because of these apples. Didn’t the students know that people often walked outside the wall in the day? Or didn’t they care at all? I got really angry and told my friends about it.
“You should throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them a lesson, “one of them suggested. But I didn’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Besides, I might end up bringing trouble to others.
I’ve decided to call the school and let the students learn from their mistakes. Their impolite actions may hurt others if they keep throwing their waste. What’s more, waste belongs to the rubbish bin, not anywhere else.
39. What did the author think when he saw a flying apple for the first time?
A. He felt angry. B. He couldn’t stand it.
C. He felt so unlucky. D. He didn’t care about it.
40. Which of the following can be an example of “an eye for an eye” in Paragraph 6?
A. On the bus, Sam saw two boys fighting and walked away without a word.
B. The boy next to me hit me on the nose and I hit him on his back angrily.
C. Jim borrowed 50 dollars from Tony and gave them back to him as promised.
D. I helped the new neighbour send his sick son to the hospital and he said thanks.
41. What’s the correct order according to the text?
a. I decided to call the school. b. I told my friends about it.
c. Another apple interrupted my thoughts. d. Half an apple landed in front of my feet.
e. A bad apple landed on the roof next to the wall.
A. d—e—c—b—a B. a—d—e—c—b C. e—d—a—b—c D. d—a—b—e—c

Forty-eight hours in Hong Kong may sound like a short visit, but it will surprise you how much you can see and do. The best way to get the most out of your trip is to plan ahead of time.
Hong Kong has a great public transportation system that is easy to use. The system is called the MTR, which includes the metro, trains and buses. You can get a card called the Octopus Card at a metro station and use it to travel around. Taxis are another way to get around Hong Kong. There are many taxis everywhere.
On the first day, go up Victoria Peak. At the top of the mountain, you will see beautiful city views. Then have dim sum for lunch. Dim sum is made up of many different dishes. It is a great way to taste a little bit of everything. In the afternoon, take the Star Ferry from Hong Kong Island and cross Victoria Harbour to Kowloon. There are many markets in this area. The Temple Street Night Market and the Ladies’ Market are very popular. At 8:00 pm, join the crowd that is watching “A Symphony (交响乐) of Lights”, which is a fifteen-minute light show around Hong Kong’s tall buildings.
On the second day, spend your time shopping at one of Hong Kong’s many malls, such as IFC or Times Square. You can also shop at smaller stores in Soho and Sheung Wan as well. Unlike the markets, the prices are set, so you cannot change them. After shopping, if you want to experience Hong Kong’s nightlife, head to Lan Kwai Fong. If not, go back to your hotel for a good night’s rest.
With careful planning, you can do a lot in just two days in Hong Kong.

Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300, 000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25, 000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.
46. The size of Italy is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _________.
A. why we need forests B. where a disaster spread

A. Enough land. B. Nice weather.
C. Good teamwork. D. Green technology.
49. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Rainforest Became Larger B. Farmland Area Grew Rapidly
C. Forest Fires Caused Pollution D. Forest Loss Worried the World

Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product (产品). When you upcycle an item, you are probably doing something different. You can just refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled item is usually of better quality.
Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over again until they were not useful any more. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It’s clear that upcycling is greener. Upcycling only needs your own ideas and work, but recycling needs energy or water to break down things.
Grace, a woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, and then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks.
Making items from old things or buying upcycled products? Both are great for the environment and give you cool and useful things. Give it a try!
50. What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Recycling useless things. B. Reusing things directly.
C. Repairing broken things D. Repurposing something for a new use.
51. How is upcycling different from recycling?
A. Upcycling is a greener way of life. B. Upcycling is more useful.
C. Upcycling needs more energy. D. Upcycling is new to the world.
52. How did people in the past use things?
A. They used things once, and then threw them away.
B. They reused things until they were useless.
C. They only used expensive things.
D. They always bought new things.
【答案】50. D 51. A 52. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了升级改造的概念、历史、环保优势,并举例说明。
【50题详解】
根据第二段“You can just refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt.”可知,升级改造是直接改造物品用途,如将旧T恤改造成包,因此划线词指的是“为新的用途而重新利用”。
【51题详解】
根据第四段“Upcycling only needs your own ideas and work, but recycling needs energy or water to break down things.”可知,升级改造仅需创意和手工,而回收需消耗能源或者水来分解物品,因此升级改造是一种更环保的生活方式。
【52题详解】
根据第三段“In those days, things were repurposed over and over again until they were not useful any more.”可知,过去人们会将物品反复改造直至完全无用。

It’s a huge and beautiful area. Here, you can see green reeds (芦苇) waving under the blue sky. You can smell the fresh smell of the water plants. Welcome to the Poyang Lake Wetland!
The name “Poyang Lake” is well-known in China. It is located in Jiangxi Province. Poyang Lake Wetland is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Asia. It provides a habitat for a large number of wild animals and plants.

They are very elegant and create a beautiful scene in the wetland. People call Poyang Lake Wetland “the Paradise of Birds”.

This year’s summer vacation is one of my best memories. To make the most of the two-month holiday, I took part in a volunteer project in Penang, the second biggest city in Malaysia.
In the project called Aspire to Inspire, volunteers were asked to design workshops (讲习班) to get kids more interested in science. This project was based on a survey which showed that young kids in Malaysia were losing interest in science. Many kids now want to become entrepreneurs (企业家) in the future instead of scientists or engineers.
To help kids enjoy science, we designed some interesting science experiments. We also taught them how to use easy programming (编程) tools and played brain training games with them.
To be honest, this project was a little hard for me. First, it was not easy for me to hold a workshop in English for hours. Before each workshop, I had to check many new words and practice many times to speak clearly. What’s more, the kids were active most of the time, so it was hard to keep them focused in class.
Luckily, I was not alone. There were ten volunteers in our project. Although we came from different countries, we worked with each other well. In order to help students focus on our lessons, we set up class rules. These rules were not as serious as school rules. They were more like some games.

One day, on my way back home, half an apple flew towards me. It just landed in front of my feet. Surprised, I felt I was so lucky that it didn’t hit me.
I live beside a school. There is a wall between my neighbourhood and the school. I guessed it was a student who threw the apple over the wall. Thinking it was a small accident, I didn’t care about it anymore and just kept going. Then I forgot it.
A week later, when I passed by the same place, a bad apple came again. This time, it landed on the roof next to the wall. I thought to myself, “Is it my destiny(命运)to get hit by an apple?”
Yesterday, when I was walking back home, my mind got lost in a new movie. But suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted(打断)by another apple. And it was big and flew so fast.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. Someone could get hurt because of these apples. Didn’t the students know that people often walked outside the wall in the day? Or didn’t they care at all? I got really angry and told my friends about it.
“You should throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them a lesson, “one of them suggested. But I didn’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Besides, I might end up bringing trouble to others.
I’ve decided to call the school and let the students learn from their mistakes. Their impolite actions may hurt others if they keep throwing their waste. What’s more, waste belongs to the rubbish bin, not anywhere else.

Forty-eight hours in Hong Kong may sound like a short visit, but it will surprise you how much you can see and do. The best way to get the most out of your trip is to plan ahead of time.
Hong Kong has a great public transportation system that is easy to use. The system is called the MTR, which includes the metro, trains and buses. You can get a card called the Octopus Card at a metro station and use it to travel around. Taxis are another way to get around Hong Kong. There are many taxis everywhere.
On the first day, go up Victoria Peak. At the top of the mountain, you will see beautiful city views. Then have dim sum for lunch. Dim sum is made up of many different dishes. It is a great way to taste a little bit of everything. In the afternoon, take the Star Ferry from Hong Kong Island and cross Victoria Harbour to Kowloon. There are many markets in this area. The Temple Street Night Market and the Ladies’ Market are very popular. At 8:00 pm, join the crowd that is watching “A Symphony (交响乐) of Lights”, which is a fifteen-minute light show around Hong Kong’s tall buildings.
On the second day, spend your time shopping at one of Hong Kong’s many malls, such as IFC or Times Square. You can also shop at smaller stores in Soho and Sheung Wan as well. Unlike the markets, the prices are set, so you cannot change them. After shopping, if you want to experience Hong Kong’s nightlife, head to Lan Kwai Fong. If not, go back to your hotel for a good night’s rest.
With careful planning, you can do a lot in just two days in Hong Kong.

Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300, 000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25, 000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.

Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product (产品). When you upcycle an item, you are probably doing something different. You can just refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled item is usually of better quality.
Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over again until they were not useful any more. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It’s clear that upcycling is greener. Upcycling only needs your own ideas and work, but recycling needs energy or water to break down things.
Grace, a woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, and then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks.
Making items from old things or buying upcycled products? Both are great for the environment and give you cool and useful things. Give it a try!
50. What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Recycling useless things. B. Reusing things directly.
C. Repairing broken things D. Repurposing something for a new use.
51. How is upcycling different from recycling?
A. Upcycling is a greener way of life. B. Upcycling is more useful.
C. Upcycling needs more energy. D. Upcycling is new to the world.
52. How did people in the past use things?
A. They used things once, and then threw them away.
B. They reused things until they were useless.
C. They only used expensive things.
D. They always bought new things.
