It doesn’t matter没关系。根据下文的“If time permits, I may go to see my grandma with my mother.” 可知，回答者态度不确定，所以此处使用It depends符合语境。故选B项。 2. ________, tomatoes were planted in South Africa.

Originally最初地；B. Slightly轻微地；C. Extremely极端地；D. Annually每年地。根据句意，西红柿最初是在南非种植的。故选A项。 3. It is illegal to reproduce these worksheets without ________ from the publisher.

You ________ a better impression than you think. A. may have made B. should have made C. couldn’t have made. D. needn’t have made 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词用法。句意：——老实说，我觉得我不会被录取。——唉，谁知道呢!你给人的印象可能比你想象的要好。A. may have made可能；B. should have made本应该做；C. couldn’t have made不可能做；D. needn’t have made本不必做。根据“a better impression than you think”可知，此处是指你给别人留下的印象可能比你想象的要好，所以应用may have done表示“可能”，此处是对过去不太肯定的推测。故选A。 5. We managed to get most of the ________ at the farmers’ market. A. products B. production C. producer D. produce 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们设法在农贸市场买到了大部分的农产品。A. products产品；B. production生产；C. producer生产者；D. produce农产品。根据题意，在农贸市场买到的应是农产品，produce作名词时意为“农产品”，且为不可数名词。 6. It was the closing down of the Rainbow Bookstore, ______ 50 years ago, ______ made older readers feel heartbroken. A. dating back to; that B. dated back to; which C. dating from; when D. dates from; where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和强调句。句意：有50年历史的彩虹书店的倒闭，让年长的读者感到心碎。date back to和date from都表示“追溯到”，与the Rainbow Bookstore之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语；第二空为强调句，其结构为“It was+被强调部分+that+其他部分”，本句强调主语the closing down of the Rainbow Bookstore, ______ 50 years ago。故选A。 7. _________ you are determined to go abroad for further study, you needn’t care about what others think of it. A. Even if B. Although C. Now that D. Unless 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查连词辨析。句意：既然你已下定决心出国深造，你就不必在意别人对此的看法。A. Even if即使，引导让步状语从句；B. Although尽管，引导让步状语从句；C. Now that既然，引导原因状语从句；D. Unless除非，如果不，引导条件状语从句。根据语境，“你已下定决心出国深造”是“不必在意别人看法”的原因，用now that引导原因状语从句。故选C项。 8. Taobao and Tmall will accept WeChat Pay, a giant step in ________ payment barriers between the two internet platforms. A. turning down B. turning up C. breaking up D. breaking down 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：淘宝和天猫将接受微信支付，这是在打破两大互联网平台之间支付壁垒方面迈出的巨大一步。A. turn down拒绝；B. turn up出现；C. break up解散；D. break down打破。此处表达“打破支付壁垒”，break down barriers为常见搭配，意为“打破壁垒”。 9. ______ which competitor could have launched such a highly competitive product in such a short time, the CEO of the company called an urgent meeting with the marketing and research teams. A. Left wondering B. Leaving wondering C. Leaving wondered D. Left wondered 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：公司CEO不知道哪个竞争对手能在这么短的时间内推出如此有竞争力的产品，于是召集营销和研发团队召开紧急会议。“leave…”作原因状语，leave(让……处于)用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语the CEO之间是被动关系，用过去分词left表被动；wonder(想知道，好奇)作主语补足语，与其逻辑主语the CEO之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。 10. After lunch we hurried to the cinema, only ______ that the film ______. A. being told; was cancelled B. to be told; had cancelled C. to be told; was cancelled D. to be told; had been cancelled 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、语态和非谓语动词。句意：午饭后我们匆匆赶往电影院，结果却被告知电影已经被取消了。only to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“结果却……”，表示出乎意料的结果，句子中“hurried to the cinema (匆匆赶往电影院)”与后面的“电影取消”是出乎意料的结果，因此用only to do sth.结构，句子的主语we和动词tell之间是被动关系，因此第一个空格处用被动语态to be told。电影取消这个动作发生在“hurried to the cinema”之前，是“过去的过去”，应该用过去完成时。the film和cancel之间是被动关系，因此第二个空格处用过去完成时的被动语态had been cancelled。故选D项。 第二节：完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从26~40各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Minh was a pottery (陶器) lover and he was very interested in his grandmother’s pottery studio (工作室).

The boy carefully put the bowl back on the shelf and stuck his hands inside his pockets.”祖母提醒Minh小心碗，以及Minh小心翼翼放回碗的动作，可知他担心“打碎”成品，从而失去学习的机会。故选B。 【19题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他的第一件作品黑乎乎的，看起来更像一块石头而不是碗，是一次失败。A. loss损失；B. surprise惊喜；C. failure失败；D. treasure宝藏。根据前文“Minh was disappointed and tired”以及作品“像石头而不是碗”，可知他第一次尝试是“失败的”。故选C。 【20题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然后他又试了一次，但几乎没有好转。A. certainly当然；B. probably可能；C. nearly几乎，差不多；D. hardly几乎不。根据转折词前文“but”和后文“any better”可知，第二次尝试和第一次一样不好，hardly any better表示“几乎没有好转”，符合语境。故选D。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，他至少明白了如何在黏土中心做出一个光滑的开口。A. understood明白，理解；B. discovered发现；C. revised修改；D. agreed同意。结合前文两次失败的经历和后文“how to make a smooth opening in the centre of the clay”，Minh虽没做出合格的碗，但“明白了”做开口的方法，符合学习过程的逻辑。故选A。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：与此同时，祖母一直很忙。A. silent沉默的；B. kind善良的；C. busy忙碌的；D. strict严格的。根据后文“A wide bowl and a deep bowl rested on grandma’s worktable. Her practised hands began to ____ yet another bowl”可知，祖母的工作台上有成品，还在继续做新的碗，说明她一直很“忙碌”。故选C。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她熟练的双手开始塑造另一个碗。A. draw画；B. shape塑造，使成形；C. dry使干燥；D. clean打扫。结合后文“yet another bowl”，“watching her work”和制陶场景，用手将黏土“塑造”成碗的形状，shape符合语境。故选B。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：祖母看着孙子，鼓励他说：“别担心，你会学会的。”A. impressed使印象深刻；B. ordered命令；C. encouraged鼓励；D. advised建议。根据后文祖母说的话“Don’t worry.

The only way you won’t learn is”可知，祖母鼓励他不要放弃，说明“放弃”才是学不会的唯一原因。故选B。 第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Want to read a perfect children’s book? Explore some recommendations from trusted critics. My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe) It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news? And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8) Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho) This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world — and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8) Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac) When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparents. It is in Malian’s grandparents’ stories that she learns how the people of her native community have always taken care of one another. Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12) Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson) If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack? Then, consider this outstanding book for kids on the topic. (For ages 4 to 8) 26. Which book is particularly recommended for children who are dealing with family members in difficult situations? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了四本优秀的儿童读物以及这四本读物的内容、主题、适用儿童年龄等。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe)”的介绍“It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison.(向家人解释亲人被关进监狱从来都不容易，对孩子们来说尤其如此。这本感人至深的书以作者自己的童年经历为背景，讲述了一个小女孩哥哥入狱的故事)”可知，《My Brother Is Away》特别适合那些有家庭成员处于困境中的孩子。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe”的介绍“This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison.(这本感人的书借鉴了作者自己的童年经历，讲述了一个哥哥在监狱里的小女孩的故事)”以及“Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho)”中的“Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world — and how we see ourselves. (聚焦于一位以“眼角轻吻、如温热茶般闪耀的眼睛”为傲的年轻女孩，乔安娜·霍以诗意的方式讲述代际故事，与邓戈温暖而常具魔力的意象相融合，为我们带来一场关于如何看待世界——以及如何看待自我的庆典)”可知，《My Brother Is Away》和《Eyes that Kiss in the Corners》这两本书都是通过一个女孩的视角来讲述故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac)”介绍中的“Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do.(这本书以诗歌的形式写成，通过一个孩子的视角向我们展示了疫情，也提醒我们：责任与彼此关爱是我们每个人都能做到的)”可知，《Rez Dogs》是以诗歌的形式写的。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson)”下文介绍“If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack? Then, consider this outstanding book for kids on the topic.(如果你知道‘木材万维网’，你就知道树木通过连接根部的真菌进行交流。不过，你知道他们是如何用额外的食物互相支持的吗？它们如何区分自己的后代和其他树？当昆虫袭击时，它们如何警告其他树木？然后，考虑一下这本关于这个话题的优秀的儿童读物)”可知，《Listen to the Language of the Trees》适合对科学感兴趣的孩子。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Want to read a perfect children’s book? Explore some recommendations from trusted critics.(想读一本完美的儿童读物吗？来看看一些来自权威评论家的推荐)”以及下文对四本书籍的介绍可知，文章主要推荐一些优秀的儿童读物，并列出了书籍内容、主题和适用儿童年龄等信息。由此推知，这种篇文章最有可能来自杂志。 B Erin Willman, who lost her vision at fifteen, faced many challenges. People often told her what she could not do, but she wanted to show them what she was able to do. Turned down in job applications because of her blindness, Erin decided to make her own way. Within a year, she set up White Cane Coffee and became its CEO, proving that her disability would not stop her dreams. White Cane Coffee has grown from an idea on a hard day into a successful business, with its coffee sold in many cities. Besides selling good-quality coffee, the company supports equality by offering jobs to blind and disabled people, teaching them useful skills and building their confidence. The company’s care for inclusion can be seen in its special product labels: each bag has Braille (盲文) on it, making it one of the first companies to do this for all products. This idea comes from Erin’s belief that visually impaired people should be able to shop independently. The company provides jobs with a good pay, giving freedom and improving the lives of employees who are often unfairly refused such chances in other places. Erin’s team says their purpose is more than money — it brings hope and shows the importance of every worker. The money made by White Cane Coffee not only supports the workers but also helps with guide dog training, children’s community work and raising money for charity groups. Erin’s goal is more than personal success: she finally wants to make a difference around the world. She cares more about social influence than wealth, hoping to use her position to improve people’s lives. Erin and her team are thankful for the great support from the community and groups that help the disabled. More importantly, they are proud of what they have done to offer resources and courage to disabled people. They hope to create more jobs to help more people live on their own. To reach this goal, they are working on new and exciting plans to help the company develop to a higher level. 31. According to the text, why did Erin start her own coffee company? A. To prove her capability and create opportunities for others. B. To escape the prejudice of the employers in the big cities. C. To seek financial independence and a higher living wage. D. To win awards for her creative use of Braille packaging. 32. What distinguishes White Cane Coffee’s products? A. They have lower prices. B. They offer free packages for the blind. C. They have special package for the employees. D. They provide convenience for blind customers. 33. How does White Cane Coffee contribute to society? A. By improving the lives of its workers and supporting various social programs. B. By offering high-paying jobs and training business leaders. C. By selling products worldwide and increasing its own business profits. D. By providing free community services for blind and disabled customers. 34. What words can be used to describe Erin? A. Dependent and ambitious. B. Competitive and powerful. C. Determined and considerate. D. Pessimistic and materialistic. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Erin Willman: A Pioneer in the Coffee Industry B. White Cane Coffee: A Business Empowering the Disabled C. The Road to Personal Success for the Blind D. Inclusiveness: The Future of Business 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了失明的 Erin Willman 在求职受挫后创立White Cane Coffee公司的经历，介绍了该公司通过为残障人士提供就业、在产品包装上使用盲文等方式促进社会包容，并致力于通过商业力量改善残障群体生活。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Turned down in job applications because of her blindness, Erin decided to make her own way. Within a year, she set up White Cane Coffee and became its CEO, proving that her disability would not stop her dreams.(由于视力障碍而被许多工作机会拒绝后，艾琳决定走自己的路。一年之内，她创立了White Cane Coffee，并成为公司首席执行官，证明了她的残疾无法阻挡她的梦想)”以及第二段“Besides selling good-quality coffee, the company supports equality by offering jobs to blind and disabled people, teaching them useful skills and building their confidence.(除了销售高品质的咖啡外，公司还通过为盲人和残障人士提供工作机会、教授实用技能并增强他们的自信心，来支持社会平等)”可推知，Erin 创立咖啡公司既是为了证明自己的能力，也是为他人创造机会。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The company’s care for inclusion can be seen in its special product labels: each bag has Braille (盲文) on it, making it one of the first companies to do this for all products. This idea comes from Erin’s belief that visually impaired people should be able to shop independently.(公司对包容性的关注体现在其特殊产品标签上：每个袋子都配有盲文，使其成为首批为所有产品提供此类服务的公司之一。这一理念源于艾琳的信念，即视障人士应能够独立购物)”可推知，White Cane Coffee产品的独特之处在于为盲顾客提供了购物便利。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The money made by White Cane Coffee not only supports the workers but also helps with guide dog training, children’s community work and raising money for charity groups.(White Cane Coffee所获得的资金不仅支持了员工，还用于导盲犬培训、儿童社区服务以及为慈善团体募集资金)”可推知，该公司通过改善员工生活并支持各类社会项目来贡献社会。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Turned down in job applications because of her blindness, Erin decided to make her own way. Within a year, she set up White Cane Coffee and became its CEO, proving that her disability would not stop her dreams.(由于视力障碍而被许多工作机会拒绝后，艾琳决定走自己的路。一年之内，她创立了White Cane Coffee，并成为公司首席执行官，证明了她的残疾无法阻挡她的梦想)”可知，她意志坚定；根据第二段“Besides selling good-quality coffee, the company supports equality by offering jobs to blind and disabled people, teaching them useful skills and building their confidence. (除了销售高品质的咖啡，该公司还通过为盲人和残障人士提供工作机会、教授实用技能并增强他们的自信心来支持平等)”及第三段“The company provides jobs with a good pay, giving freedom and improving the lives of employees who are often unfairly refused such chances in other places.(该公司提供薪酬优厚的工作岗位，给予员工自由，并改善了那些在其他地方常被不公平拒绝此类机会的员工的生活)”可推知，她体贴他人、关怀社会。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章以White Cane Coffee公司为主线，讲述其创立背景、产品特色（盲文包装）、社会使命（为残障人士提供就业）及未来愿景。A项侧重Erin个人在咖啡行业的“先锋”地位，偏离文章对社会包容与赋能残障群体的核心关注；C项过于宽泛，未突出公司这一具体载体；D项过于抽象，缺少文章的具体案例支撑。B项White Cane Coffee: A Business Empowering the Disabled(White Cane Coffee：助力残障人士的商业力量)准确概括了文章主体——一家赋能残障人士的企业。 C The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的): This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior types, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers; or are we simply following the crowd? Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans’ survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, while the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful. Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to. Furthermore, the fear of being refused by others pushes us to follow the crowd, even if we have to give up our own beliefs. This social pressure is made stronger by cognitive biases (认知偏见) that affect our judgment, making people trust the opinion of the majority without thinking carefully. When people are repeatedly exposed to the same information, they are more likely to believe it. Social media makes these biases even worse, as it popularizes trending content instead of spreading the truth. This creates echo chambers (回音室效应) where people’s existing beliefs are strengthened rather than questioned. In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, especially in situations where individuals have limited information or expert knowledge. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group goes beyond that of any single person. However, excessive herd mentality poses risks, including limiting independent thoughts, harming creativity, and causing the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress. 36. Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality? A. Accepting expert advice in complicated situations. B. Improving a solution with individual creativity. C. Following others’ ideas after careful evaluation. D. Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. 37. Why did early humans develop herd mentality? A. To enhance their social status. B. To increase their chances of survival. C. To strengthen their hunting skills. D. To meet their emotional needs. 38. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The link between group pressure and self-identity. B. The effect of herd mentality on human minds. C. The factors contributing to herd mentality. D. The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs. 39. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Herd mentality is inevitable in highly connected societies. B. It is important to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C. Misinformation can lead individuals to rely on collective opinions. D. True independence is achieved by rejecting diverse perspectives. 40. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To explain the history of human social evolution. B. To analyze the causes and effects of herd mentality and encourage critical thinking. C. To compare the differences between individual and group thinking. D. To argue that human beings are naturally weak and should be dependent. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. B 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“从众心理（herd mentality）”的定义、进化根源、影响因素、利弊以及应对方法。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的): This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong.(人类的思维深受集体影响：这种现象被称为从众心理，指的是个体倾向于采纳所属群体的行为、信念和态度)”以及第三段“Furthermore, the fear of being refused by others pushes us to follow the crowd, even if we have to give up our own beliefs.(此外，害怕被他人拒绝会驱使我们随波逐流，即使这意味着我们必须放弃自己的信念)”可知，从众心理的核心特征是为了融入群体而支持群体观点，而非基于独立思考。由此可知，Supporting group opinions to fit in with others(支持群体观点以融入他人)最符合这一描述。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans’ survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. (从众心理有进化根源。因为早期人类的生存依赖于群体凝聚力。留在部落的人享有保护和资源获取，而孤独者独自面对威胁)”可推知，早期人类发展从众心理是为了提高生存几率。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, especially in situations where individuals have limited information or expert knowledge. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group goes beyond that of any single person. However, excessive herd mentality poses risks, including limiting independent thoughts, harming creativity, and causing the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress.(在某些情况下，从众心理可以产生积极的影响，特别是在个人信息或专业知识有限的情况下。跟随多数人往往能带来更好的结果，因为群体的集体知识远超任何一个人的认知。然而，过度的群体心理也存在风险，例如限制独立思考、损害创造力，并导致错误信息的传播。因此，培养批判性思维——质疑假设、评估信息来源并探索多元视角——对于个人独立性和集体进步都至关重要)”可知，本段先指出从众心理可产生积极影响，再转折说明过度从众会带来风险，包括限制独立思考、损害创造力等，最后提出应对之策。由此可知，全段围绕从众心理对人们思想与行为的正反两方面影响展开。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress.(因此，培养批判性思维——质疑假设、评估信息来源并探索多元视角——对于个人独立性和集体进步都至关重要)”可推知，作者认为在追随潮流的社会中保持批判性思维非常重要。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段介绍从众心理的定义，第二段讲述其进化根源，第三段分析其社会与心理因素，第四段讨论其利弊，最后强调批判性思维的重要性。由此推知，作者的主要目的是“分析从众心理的成因和影响，并鼓励批判性思维”。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，三部分，共30分） 第一部分：语篇填空（共10小题，每小题0.5分，满分5分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Ryan had trouble ___41___ (believe) in what his teacher said.

Her mother recognized the difficulty she was having and understood that things would be much better if I could come and visit and spend a couple of days helping her sort things out. So her mother purchased the tickets for me to fly down and see her. I flew out from Boston in a thunderstorm and it was rainy and thundering most of the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. When I arrived in Charlotte, the flight had been delayed so much that there were no additional flights going out for the rest of the night. I became very grieved and burst into tears. It only took a minute or two before I felt an arm being put around my shoulders from behind. It was a woman that I had flown into Charlotte on the same flight with and she said, “Don’t worry, young girl. You’re with us now.” I cried harder when she said that, because I immediately felt less alone. Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me. In the morning, we were informed that there was a flight to Orlando. That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind. We flew into Tampa, on the west coast of Florida, and Deb and Mark rented a car and drove to Orlando. My friend’s mother was waiting for me in Orlando when we arrived. When I left the family, there were tears, a lot of hugs, and promises to stay in touch. This family was an inspiration to me, and they remain so every day. 51.

What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 2?(1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What made the author feel better that night at the airport?(no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. Why did the couple abandon the flight to their destination?(no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55.

To visit/help her friend who was in difficulty. 52. Sad./Upset. 53. A kind family that treated her as a family member. 54. Because they wanted to stay with the author. 55. Caring and Considerate. They regarded the author as a family member and even gave up their direct flight for the author. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是作者在暴风雨天气中前往佛罗里达帮助童年伙伴的旅途经历，飞机因天气原因延误后，作者遇到了善良的Deb和Mark一家，这家人不仅给了作者家人般的关怀，更是主动放弃直达航班选择陪同作者共同前往目的地的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中“Her mother recognized the difficulty she was having and understood that things would be much better if I could come and visit and spend a couple of days helping her sort things out.(她的母亲意识到了她的困难，她明白，如果我能去看望她，花几天时间帮她解决问题，情况会好得多)”可知，作者儿时的玩伴萨曼莎生活中有一些复杂的问题，所以萨曼莎妈妈希望我能去帮助她解决问题，所以作者旅行的目的是去看望（帮助）有困难的朋友，故答案为To visit/help her friend who was in difficulty。 【52题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章第二段划线词之前“When I arrived in Charlotte, the flight had been delayed so much that there were no additional flights going out for the rest of the night. I became (当我到达Charlotte的时候，航班已经延误了很多，以至于当晚剩下的时间里都没有额外的航班了。我变得)”以及之后“and burst into tears.(并且大哭起来)”可知，因为天气原因我没有赶上既定的航班，并且当晚也没有额外的航班了，由此可推测作者心情一定非常难过，所以划线词的意思为Sad/Upset，故答案为Sad/Upset。 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中“Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me.(Deb和Mark带着两个十几岁的女儿前往奥兰多。我们都坐下来开始聊天。他们立刻把我当作家人对待。晚上，我抱着包蜷缩在床上睡觉，这一家人看着我)”可知，作者感到好多了的原因是因为在机场好心的一家把作者当成家人看待，故答案为A kind family that treated her as a family member。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段“That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind.(那架飞机有四个座位，足够Deb, Mark和他们的女儿坐。但是Deb和Mark宣布他们不会乘坐那趟飞往奥兰多的航班，因为那天我是他们家的一员，他们不会丢下他们家的一员)”可知，这对夫妇放弃飞往目的地航班的原因是因为他们想陪伴作者，故答案为Because they wanted to stay with the author。 【55题详解】 开放性题目。这对夫妇将陌生人视为家人，甚至牺牲行程，体现了关怀与体贴。故答案为：Caring and Considerate. They regarded the author as a family member and gave up their direct flight for the author. 第三部分：书面表达（满分15分） 56. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李津，近期你校学生会组织了一场辩论赛，主题为“高中生是否可以借助AI完成作业”。你的英国笔友Jim从学校网站看到了相关信息，对此很感兴趣，来信询问辩论赛的开展情况。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： （1）辩论赛的开展目的及时间； （2）正反双方的观点及理由； （3）你的看法。 参考词汇：正方：the pro side 反方：the con side 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, More than glad that you’re interested in our school debate.

I’m writing to share detailed information with you. Our school held the wonderful debate last Friday, aiming to help students treat AI properly and form good learning habits. The pro side argued that AI can help finish homework efficiently and solve difficult academic problems instantly, saving lots of study time. However, the con side believed relying on AI blindly would make students lazy and weaken their independent thinking ability. Personally, I think we should use AI as a helper rather than a substitute. We need to think independently first and turn to AI for assistance when necessary. The meaningful debate has offered us valuable guidance on modern learning.

Explore some recommendations from trusted critics. My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe) It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news? And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8) Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho) This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world — and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8) Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac) When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparents. It is in Malian’s grandparents’ stories that she learns how the people of her native community have always taken care of one another. Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12) Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson) If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack? Then, consider this outstanding book for kids on the topic. (For ages 4 to 8) 26. Which book is particularly recommended for children who are dealing with family members in difficult situations? A. Rez Dogs B. Listen to the Language of the Trees C. My Brother Is Away D. Eyes that Kiss in the Corners 27. What do My Brother Is Away and Eyes that Kiss in the Corners have in common? A. They both tell stories through a girl’s eyes. B. They both reveal complex feelings. C. They are intended for children of the same age. D. They both focus on children’s responsibility. 28. What can we learn about the book Rez Dogs? A. It may attract pre-school children. B. It is written in the form of a poem. C. It mainly covers global pandemics. D. It has pictures related to the pandemic. 29. Which book best suits children who are interested in science? A. My Brother Is Away B. Eyes that Kiss in the Corners C. Rez Dogs D. Listen to the Language of the Trees 30. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A magazine B. A research paper C. A textbook D. A travel journal B Erin Willman, who lost her vision at fifteen, faced many challenges. People often told her what she could not do, but she wanted to show them what she was able to do. Turned down in job applications because of her blindness, Erin decided to make her own way. Within a year, she set up White Cane Coffee and became its CEO, proving that her disability would not stop her dreams. White Cane Coffee has grown from an idea on a hard day into a successful business, with its coffee sold in many cities. Besides selling good-quality coffee, the company supports equality by offering jobs to blind and disabled people, teaching them useful skills and building their confidence. The company’s care for inclusion can be seen in its special product labels: each bag has Braille (盲文) on it, making it one of the first companies to do this for all products. This idea comes from Erin’s belief that visually impaired people should be able to shop independently. The company provides jobs with a good pay, giving freedom and improving the lives of employees who are often unfairly refused such chances in other places. Erin’s team says their purpose is more than money — it brings hope and shows the importance of every worker. The money made by White Cane Coffee not only supports the workers but also helps with guide dog training, children’s community work and raising money for charity groups. Erin’s goal is more than personal success: she finally wants to make a difference around the world. She cares more about social influence than wealth, hoping to use her position to improve people’s lives. Erin and her team are thankful for the great support from the community and groups that help the disabled. More importantly, they are proud of what they have done to offer resources and courage to disabled people. They hope to create more jobs to help more people live on their own. To reach this goal, they are working on new and exciting plans to help the company develop to a higher level. 31. According to the text, why did Erin start her own coffee company? A.

Inclusiveness: The Future of Business C The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的): This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior types, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers; or are we simply following the crowd? Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans’ survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, while the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful. Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to. Furthermore, the fear of being refused by others pushes us to follow the crowd, even if we have to give up our own beliefs. This social pressure is made stronger by cognitive biases (认知偏见) that affect our judgment, making people trust the opinion of the majority without thinking carefully. When people are repeatedly exposed to the same information, they are more likely to believe it. Social media makes these biases even worse, as it popularizes trending content instead of spreading the truth. This creates echo chambers (回音室效应) where people’s existing beliefs are strengthened rather than questioned. In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, especially in situations where individuals have limited information or expert knowledge. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group goes beyond that of any single person. However, excessive herd mentality poses risks, including limiting independent thoughts, harming creativity, and causing the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress. 36. Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality? A. Accepting expert advice in complicated situations. B. Improving a solution with individual creativity. C. Following others’ ideas after careful evaluation. D. Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. 37. Why did early humans develop herd mentality? A. To enhance their social status. B. To increase their chances of survival. C. To strengthen their hunting skills. D. To meet their emotional needs. 38. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The link between group pressure and self-identity. B. The effect of herd mentality on human minds. C. The factors contributing to herd mentality. D. The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs. 39. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Herd mentality is inevitable in highly connected societies. B. It is important to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C. Misinformation can lead individuals to rely on collective opinions. D. True independence is achieved by rejecting diverse perspectives. 40. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To explain the history of human social evolution. B. To analyze the causes and effects of herd mentality and encourage critical thinking. C. To compare the differences between individual and group thinking. D. To argue that human beings are naturally weak and should be dependent. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，三部分，共30分） 第一部分：语篇填空（共10小题，每小题0.5分，满分5分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Ryan had trouble ___41___ (believe) in what his teacher said.

Her mother recognized the difficulty she was having and understood that things would be much better if I could come and visit and spend a couple of days helping her sort things out. So her mother purchased the tickets for me to fly down and see her. I flew out from Boston in a thunderstorm and it was rainy and thundering most of the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. When I arrived in Charlotte, the flight had been delayed so much that there were no additional flights going out for the rest of the night. I became very grieved and burst into tears. It only took a minute or two before I felt an arm being put around my shoulders from behind. It was a woman that I had flown into Charlotte on the same flight with and she said, “Don’t worry, young girl. You’re with us now.” I cried harder when she said that, because I immediately felt less alone. Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me. In the morning, we were informed that there was a flight to Orlando. That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind. We flew into Tampa, on the west coast of Florida, and Deb and Mark rented a car and drove to Orlando. My friend’s mother was waiting for me in Orlando when we arrived. When I left the family, there were tears, a lot of hugs, and promises to stay in touch. This family was an inspiration to me, and they remain so every day. 51.
