【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者的祖母在搬到新家后,通过向农业教授请教并坚持尝试,让一棵不结果的苹果树结满果实的故事。祖母借此教导作者,面对挑战能让人变得更强大。
【17题详解】
句意:她是一位精力充沛的园丁,在花园里不知疲倦地工作。
根据“and she works tirelessly in her garden.”可知,她精力充沛才得以在花园里不知疲倦地工作,C选项energetic“精力充沛的”符合语境,其他选项不符。
【18题详解】
句意:在照顾花园里的植物时,她总是很开心。
enjoy oneself“玩得开心”,此处是指祖母很开心,根据主语“She”可知,反身代词是herself。
【19题详解】
句意:他们一到达那里,祖母就开始在新花园里工作了。
根据语境,祖母非常喜欢园艺,所以到达新家后立刻开始工作,表示动作紧接着发生。as soon as“一……就……”符合表达,As long as“只要”,Although“尽管”,Before“在……之前”选项逻辑不对。
【20题详解】
句意:花园里的一棵大苹果树从来不结果。
根据“She tried many ways to make the tree blossom (开花), but none of them were…”可知,尝试了很多方法让其开花不管用,所以此处是指从来不结果。any提示这里句子含否定意义,never“从不”符合逻辑,always“总是”,sometimes“有时候”,usually“通常”都是肯定的频率副词,不符合表达。
【21题详解】
句意:她尝试了很多方法让树开花,但都没有用。
根据“but none of them were...”可知,转折连词but说明这些方法都没有起到作用,即没有用,useful“有用的”符合。
【22题详解】
句意:最后,祖母联系了一位农业教授。
根据后文“She explained her problem to the man”可知祖母为了解决问题去联系了教授,contacted“联系”符合。
【23题详解】
句意:她向这个人解释了她的问题,并仔细听了他的建议。
根据后文“He told her to hit the base of the tree”可知教授告诉了她解决问题的方法,即给出了suggestions“建议”。其他选项不符合语境。
【24题详解】
句意:然而,祖母没有放弃,每天都这么做。
根据“did it every day”可知祖母坚持了下来,没有半途而废,give up“放弃”符合,其他选项不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:令人惊讶的是,第二年春天这棵树结满了果实。
根据前文邻居觉得她疯了,方法也很奇怪,但最终树却成功结了果实,这种反差令人感到惊讶,Surprisingly符合。树木结果是好事,Unfortunately“不幸地”,Sadly“悲伤地”不符合表达。
【26题详解】
句意:祖母不仅是一位了不起的园丁,也是一位充满智慧的长者。
根据前文祖母用苹果树的故事教导作者面对挑战,可知她能够从生活中总结出深刻的道理,非常有智慧。wise“睿智的”符合,forgetful“健忘的”,careless“粗心的”不是正向形容,不符合,此处侧重祖母的智慧,而非curious“好奇的”。
Yes! An old person in the house is a blessing. We Chinese also say, “Having an elderly family member is a treasure.”
三、阅读理解(本题15小题,A、B篇每小题1分,C篇每小题2分,共20分)
A
Located in Qinghai, China, Chaka Salt Lake is one of the most beautiful salt lakes. It is about 3,100 meters above sea level, and it has a total area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt, with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source of salt in our country.
On a clear day, the lake offers a beautiful reflection (映像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “the mirror of the sky”. As the sun rises and sets, the lake turns into a colorful canvas (画布). The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most beautiful. Because of its wonderful views, people see the lake as one of the “must-visit” places in China.
Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd into Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. They just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. Breathing in the salty air with the summer breeze is good for your health. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful.
* Do not eat the salt in the lake directly.
* Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunlight.
* You can’t stop taking photos, so you’d better take your camera with you.
* Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly.
When you travel to such a beautiful world of salt with snowy mountains around, you will feel like you are in a fairyland (仙境).
27. When is the best time to visit Chaka Salt Lake?
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter.
28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How popular Chaka Salt Lake is. B. Other names of Chaka Salt Lake.

A. Soft snow. B. Heavy rain. C. Light wind. D. Thick cloud.
30. What does the writer suggest about the sunlight at Chaka Salt Lake?
A. It causes the lake to lose most of its water.
B. It is weak in July and August because of the wind.
C. It is not strong enough so you don’t need sunglasses.

【答案】27. B 28. C 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了茶卡盐湖的地理位置、特色美景和最佳旅游时间,并列出了具体的游览建议(tips)
【27题详解】
文章第三段前指出“Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd into Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. They just don’t want to miss the best time to go there.”,游客涌入的最佳时间是七月到八月,这属于夏季(Summer)。
【28题详解】
第二段主要描述了茶卡盐湖在晴朗天气下反射蓝天(reflection of the blue sky),被称为“天空之镜”,以及日出日落时色彩斑斓如画布(colorful canvas),强调了其景色的美丽。因此该段主要讲的是茶卡盐湖的美丽景色(The beautiful views)。
【29题详解】
划线词所在句子为“Breathing in the salty air with the summer breeze is good for your health.”,结合语境,夏天呼吸着咸咸的空气和微风对健康有益。“Breeze”意为“微风”,与选项 C“Light wind”(轻风/微风)意思相符。
【30题详解】
文章提供的建议条款中第二点指出“* Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunlight.”,作者建议因为阳光强烈,需要戴太阳镜和帽子进行防护。选项D“它(太阳光)太强了,你应该带点东西防晒。”符合文意。
【31题详解】
通读全文可知,文章前半部分介绍了茶卡盐湖的地理位置、特色美景和最佳旅游时间,后半部分列出了具体的游览建议(tips)。因此作者的写作目的是介绍茶卡盐湖并提供旅游建议。选项D“介绍茶卡盐湖并提供旅行建议。”符合。
When people travel and sightsee, another important part of their trip is trying local food. Tasting local delicacies allows them to gain a better understanding of local culture.
B
Hui Cuisine: Source of Delicacy and Charm of History
As is known to us all, an increasing number of people are especially fond of traditional Chinese cuisines. Among them, Hui cuisine is well-known for its unique blend of flavors, colors, and cooking techniques, which is considered one of the eight major cuisines in the country.
Hui cuisine is a combination of three distinct culinary (烹饪的) styles: southern Anhui, along the Yangtze River, and along the Huai River. Of these, the southern Anhui style is considered the foundational source of Hui cuisine.
With a rich history that can be traced back to the ancient Huizhou region during the Southern Song Dynasty, Hui cuisine has developed over centuries with the tireless efforts of many chefs and it has reached such heights of excellence and popularity.
The formation and development of Hui cuisine are closely linked to the rise and prosperity of Huizhou merchants (徽商). The wealth of Huizhou merchants in the world and their love for hometown flavors played an important role in the evolution of Hui cuisine. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants flourished in Yangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan, contributing significantly to the promotion and development of Hui cuisine.
The features of Hui cuisine are its rich flavors, vibrant (鲜艳的) colors, and high heat. Using unique ingredients that are often local specialties, it focuses on natural flavors and nourishing properties (滋养特性). A typical dish is the Stinky Mandarin Fish (臭鳜鱼), a traditional Hui dish that shows its unique pickling and cooking methods. This dish is famous for its rich taste with a hint of sweetness and spiciness. It is often served with rice or other local dishes, making it a popular choice for many people.
All in all, culture and cuisine go hand in hand. Therefore, Hui cuisine is not only a culinary tradition, but also carries the folk culture and historical tradition of Anhui. Its unique flavors, cooking techniques, and presentation methods make it a must-try for anyone who loves to explore the diverse flavors of Chinese cuisine.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The life of Huizhou merchants. B. The eight major cuisines in China.
C. The most popular dish in Hui cuisine. D. The history and features (特点) of Hui cuisine.
33. Which culinary style is the foundation of Hui cuisine?
A. Southern Anhui style. B. Northern Anhui style.
C. Along the Huai River style. D. Along the Yangtze River style.
34. What contributed to the development of Hui cuisine during the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
A. The support of the royal family. B. The invention of new cooking tools.
C. The introduction of foreign ingredients. D. The rise and prosperity of Huizhou merchants.
35. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Hui cuisine?
A. Rich flavors. B. Vibrant colors.
C. High heat cooking. D. Light and delicate taste.
36. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Hui cuisine will soon be replaced by modern food.
B. Culture and cuisine are closely connected with each other.
C. Only people in Anhui like Hui cuisine.
D. Hui cuisine has no historical value at all.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕徽菜展开,介绍了它的起源、发展历史和风味特点。
【32题详解】
通读全文可知,文章第一段引出徽菜,第二段介绍其构成,第三、四段讲述历史发展与徽商的关系,第五段描述特点,第六段总结文化价值。整篇文章主要围绕徽菜的历史和特点展开,选项D符合。
【33题详解】
根据第二段“Of these, the southern Anhui style is considered the foundational source of Hui cuisine.”可知,皖南风格是徽菜的基础。
【34题详解】
根据第四段“During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants flourished in Yangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan, contributing significantly to the promotion and development of Hui cuisine.”可知,明清时期徽商的崛起和繁荣促进了徽菜的发展。
【35题详解】
根据第五段“The features of Hui cuisine are its rich flavors, vibrant (鲜艳的) colors, and high heat.”可知,徽菜的特点是味道丰富、色彩鲜艳和高温烹饪,没有清淡细腻的口感这一特点。
【36题详解】
根据最后一段“All in all, culture and cuisine go hand in hand. Therefore, Hui cuisine is not only a culinary tradition, but also carries the folk culture and historical tradition of Anhui.”可知,徽菜承载了民俗文化和历史传统,可推知饮食与文化紧密相连。

【38题详解】

【40题详解】
根据后文“The hardest part was showing she could raise an injured adult diver to the surface”,说明当日潜水训练难度很高。选项A“That training was challenging.”总起本段训练内容,引出后文最难的训练环节。
【41题详解】

The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature (气温) can be -40℃. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather. When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month.
Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue (雕像) without a slight move.
Zhao said, “Life is not easy on the top of Changbai Mountain. Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts paid off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future. (A) _____________________________.”

【答案】52. 比喻、拟人。
53. The experience of being a soldier here really means a lot to me
54. Zhao Huan is strong-willed and responsible. Because he never gives up and always puts his duty first even in hard conditions. He believes protecting people’s safety makes his efforts meaningful, showing deep love to his country.
55. ①. deep snow; low temperature ②. strong wind; little water ③. never give up ④. face difficulties bravely; put duty first ⑤. efforts paid off ⑥. gained valuable experience as a soldier
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述26岁大学生Zhao Huan参军驻守长白山,文中描写极寒大风、缺水等艰苦环境,通过他坚守岗位、以守护万家灯火为荣的言行,赞美边防军人不畏艰难、坚守职责、甘于奉献的崇高精神。
【52题详解】
“crying”本义是人类“哭泣、哀嚎”,句中用来描写狂风呼啸,把无生命的风赋予人的动作,生动形象写出风声凄厉刺耳,烘托山上环境的恶劣,属于拟人的修辞手法;使用喻词“like”,把呼啸的狂风比作狼的嚎叫,直观体现风声凶猛吓人,侧面凸显山区驻守条件艰苦,属于比喻的修辞手法。
【53题详解】
本题为开放性问题,答案不唯一,可结合前文“Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts paid off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future.”贴合边防战士守护家国的主题均可。

Bookstores are more than places to buy books, and they can show a city’s history and culture.
Here are four beautiful bookstores that are famous around the world, each offering a special experience for visitors.
Livraria Lello in Porto. Portugal
Wuguan Books in Kaohsiung. Taiwan,China
Opened in 1906 and designed by Francisco Xavier Esteves, this bookstore is famous for its beautiful wood work, a bright red spiral staircase (螺旋式楼梯), and colorful glass ceilings. Author J. K. Rowling visited it often while living in Porto in the early1990s. Many believe its magical style inspired the school in her Harry Potter books.
Known for its dark design, this bookstore was created by Chu Chih Kang and completed in 2018. It has no common layout (陈列品). Over 400 books are displayed, each with its own light and shelf, inviting readers to look through the pages. Small tables with lamps allow visitors to read a little before buying. Phone flashes are not allowed, as the store wants to create a quiet reading space. Visitors must be at least 18 years old.
Libreria Acqua Alta in Venice, Italy
El Ateneo Grand Splendid. In Buenos Aires. Argentina
In a city that often floods, this bookstore creatively keeps its books in bathtubs, waterproof (防水的) boxes, and even boats. Opened in 2004, it also has a“fire escape” leading straight to a waterway and a backyard with walls made of books. At the back, a staircase built from old novels and textbooks offers a beautiful view of the waterway.
This bookstore was once a performing arts theater that opened in1919. It was turned into a bookstore in 2000, but many old details remain, such as red stage curtains, theater boxes, and a painted round ceiling. In the former stage area, there is a café where people enjoy coffee while reading books in Spanish and English.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了世界上四家著名的美丽书店,它们不仅是买书的地方,还能展示城市的历史和文化,并为游客提供独特的体验。
【56题详解】
根据文章第一段“Here are four beautiful bookstores that are famous around the world, each offering a special experience for visitors.”可知,表格主要介绍四家美丽的书店,所以①填Four beautiful bookstores。
根据表格该列下方的内容“In Porto, Portugal...”等可知,这一列介绍的是书店的地点,所以②填Locations/Places。
根据表格该列下方的内容“Beautiful woodwork...”等可知,这一列介绍的是书店的特色,所以③填Features/Special features。
根据“Wuguan Books in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, China”一栏中“Phone flashes are not allowed, as the store wants to create a quiet reading space.”可知,不允许使用手机闪光灯,所以④填phone flashes。
根据“Libreria Acqua Alta in Venice, Italy”一栏中“In a city that often floods, this bookstore creatively keeps its books in bathtubs, waterproof boxes, and even boats.”,在一个经常洪水的城市里,这家书店创造性地把书放在浴缸、防水盒甚至船里,因此是用不同的方式存书,所以⑤填ways。
根据“El Ateneo Grand Splendid, in Buenos Aires, Argentina”一栏中“This bookstore was once a performing arts theater that opened in 1919.”,这家书店曾经是一家于1919年开业的表演艺术剧院。因此是一家艺术剧院被改造成了书店,所以⑥填arts theater。
【57题详解】
根据文章第一段“Bookstores are more than places to buy books, and they can show a city’s history and culture. Here are four beautiful bookstores that are famous around the world, each offering a special experience for visitors.”,四家书店的共同点是它们都很美丽且闻名世界,都能展示城市的历史和文化,都能为游客提供特别的体验等。
【58题详解】

Located in Qinghai, China, Chaka Salt Lake is one of the most beautiful salt lakes. It is about 3,100 meters above sea level, and it has a total area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt, with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source of salt in our country.
On a clear day, the lake offers a beautiful reflection (映像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “the mirror of the sky”. As the sun rises and sets, the lake turns into a colorful canvas (画布). The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most beautiful. Because of its wonderful views, people see the lake as one of the “must-visit” places in China.

Hui Cuisine: Source of Delicacy and Charm of History
As is known to us all, an increasing number of people are especially fond of traditional Chinese cuisines. Among them, Hui cuisine is well-known for its unique blend of flavors, colors, and cooking techniques, which is considered one of the eight major cuisines in the country.
Hui cuisine is a combination of three distinct culinary (烹饪的) styles: southern Anhui, along the Yangtze River, and along the Huai River. Of these, the southern Anhui style is considered the foundational source of Hui cuisine.
With a rich history that can be traced back to the ancient Huizhou region during the Southern Song Dynasty, Hui cuisine has developed over centuries with the tireless efforts of many chefs and it has reached such heights of excellence and popularity.
The formation and development of Hui cuisine are closely linked to the rise and prosperity of Huizhou merchants (徽商). The wealth of Huizhou merchants in the world and their love for hometown flavors played an important role in the evolution of Hui cuisine. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants flourished in Yangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan, contributing significantly to the promotion and development of Hui cuisine.
The features of Hui cuisine are its rich flavors, vibrant (鲜艳的) colors, and high heat. Using unique ingredients that are often local specialties, it focuses on natural flavors and nourishing properties (滋养特性). A typical dish is the Stinky Mandarin Fish (臭鳜鱼), a traditional Hui dish that shows its unique pickling and cooking methods. This dish is famous for its rich taste with a hint of sweetness and spiciness. It is often served with rice or other local dishes, making it a popular choice for many people.
All in all, culture and cuisine go hand in hand. Therefore, Hui cuisine is not only a culinary tradition, but also carries the folk culture and historical tradition of Anhui. Its unique flavors, cooking techniques, and presentation methods make it a must-try for anyone who loves to explore the diverse flavors of Chinese cuisine.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The life of Huizhou merchants. B. The eight major cuisines in China.
C. The most popular dish in Hui cuisine. D. The history and features (特点) of Hui cuisine.
33. Which culinary style is the foundation of Hui cuisine?
A. Southern Anhui style. B. Northern Anhui style.
C. Along the Huai River style. D. Along the Yangtze River style.
34. What contributed to the development of Hui cuisine during the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
A. The support of the royal family. B. The invention of new cooking tools.
C. The introduction of foreign ingredients. D. The rise and prosperity of Huizhou merchants.
35. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Hui cuisine?
A. Rich flavors. B. Vibrant colors.
C. High heat cooking. D. Light and delicate taste.
36. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Hui cuisine will soon be replaced by modern food.
B. Culture and cuisine are closely connected with each other.
C. Only people in Anhui like Hui cuisine.
D. Hui cuisine has no historical value at all.

阅读下面短文,完成1至4小题。
These years, many college students choose to join the army (军队) after graduation. Zhao Huan is one of them. When Zhao Huan was 26 years old, he joined the army and became one of the soldiers on the top of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. The three-year life in the army made him really strong-willed.
The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature (气温) can be -40℃. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather. When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month.
Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue (雕像) without a slight move.

Bookstores are more than places to buy books, and they can show a city’s history and culture.
Here are four beautiful bookstores that are famous around the world, each offering a special experience for visitors.
Livraria Lello in Porto. Portugal
Wuguan Books in Kaohsiung. Taiwan,China
Opened in 1906 and designed by Francisco Xavier Esteves, this bookstore is famous for its beautiful wood work, a bright red spiral staircase (螺旋式楼梯), and colorful glass ceilings. Author J. K. Rowling visited it often while living in Porto in the early1990s. Many believe its magical style inspired the school in her Harry Potter books.
Known for its dark design, this bookstore was created by Chu Chih Kang and completed in 2018. It has no common layout (陈列品). Over 400 books are displayed, each with its own light and shelf, inviting readers to look through the pages. Small tables with lamps allow visitors to read a little before buying. Phone flashes are not allowed, as the store wants to create a quiet reading space. Visitors must be at least 18 years old.
Libreria Acqua Alta in Venice, Italy
El Ateneo Grand Splendid. In Buenos Aires. Argentina
In a city that often floods, this bookstore creatively keeps its books in bathtubs, waterproof (防水的) boxes, and even boats. Opened in 2004, it also has a“fire escape” leading straight to a waterway and a backyard with walls made of books. At the back, a staircase built from old novels and textbooks offers a beautiful view of the waterway.
This bookstore was once a performing arts theater that opened in1919. It was turned into a bookstore in 2000, but many old details remain, such as red stage curtains, theater boxes, and a painted round ceiling. In the former stage area, there is a café where people enjoy coffee while reading books in Spanish and English.
