But I’ve heard it’s a treasure of Chinese traditional culture. Shall we go to the theater this Saturday? A. Me too B. Me neither C. So have I D. I don’t either 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我以前从未看过京剧。——我也没看过。但我听说它是中国传统文化的瑰宝。我们这周六去剧院好吗？ Me too.我也是；Me neither.我也不；So have I.我也是；I don’t either.我也不……。上文“I’ve never watched...”是否定句，答语需表示“我也没看过”，引出后文“一起去看”的建议，对应的表达为Me neither.，I don’t either.时态错误(应与上句have一致)。 2. The ________ you practice your spoken English, the ________ you will become. A. more; more confident B. much; confident C. most; most confident D. more; more 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你练习英语口语越多，你就会变得越自信。 more更多；more confident更自信；much多；confident自信的；most最多；most confident最自信的。固定句型“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越……，就越……”。第一空修饰动词practice，需用more表示“越多”；第二空位于系动词become之后，需用形容词confident的比较级more confident表示“更自信”。故选 A。 3. —________ have you kept the book The Old Man and the Sea? —For about three weeks. A. How long B. How soon C. How often D. How many times 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你借《老人与海》这本书多久了？——大约三周了。 How long“多长时间”；How soon“多久”；How often“多久一次”；How many times“多少次”。根据答语“For about three weeks.”可知，回答表示一段时间，询问动作持续的时间长度应使用How long。How soon用于询问将来时间，How often用于询问频率，How many times用于询问次数，均不符合题意。 4. My brother ________ his old bike to me last month, but I ________ it back to him yet because I still need it. A. lends; haven’t given B. lent; haven’t given C. lent; didn’t give D. has lent; don’t give 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我哥哥上个月把他的旧自行车借给了我，但是我还没有把它还给他，因为我还需要用它。 第一空，根据时间状语“last month”可知，动作发生在过去，应使用一般过去时，动词要用过去式，lend的过去式为lent；第二空，根据关键词“yet”可知，句子应用现在完成时的否定形式，主语为I，结构为haven’t+过去分词，give的过去分词为given。 5. The teacher’s words were ________ encouraging ________ all the students decided to work harder from then on. A. such; that B. so; that C. quite; that D. rather; that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师的话语是如此鼓舞人心，以至于所有学生都决定从那时起更加努力学习。 so... that...“如此……以至于”，so后接形容词或副词；such... that...“如此……以至于”，such后接名词；quite不与that连用；rather不与that连用。根据空后的形容词“encouraging”可知，此处应使用so... that...结构引导结果状语从句。 6. —Could I borrow your notebook to copy the missing notes? —Of course you ________. I’ll get it for you right away. A. could B. must C. need D. can 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我能借你的笔记本抄一下缺的笔记吗？——当然可以。我马上给你拿来。 could可以（表示委婉请求，但回答时通常用can）；must必须；need需要；can能/可以（用于肯定回答请求）。根据问句“Could I...”表示请求许可，肯定回答常用“Yes, you can.”，应填can。 7. You won’t truly discover the beauty of your hometown ________ you look at it with fresh eyes. A. until B. unless C. because D. although 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：除非你用新的眼光看待它，否则你不会真正发现家乡的美。 until直到……为止；unless除非或如果不；because因为；although虽然。根据主句“You won’t truly discover...”是否定形式，且从句表示发现家乡美的必要条件，unless引导条件状语从句，相当于if...not，意为“如果不……就不……”，符合语境。 8. A new high-speed railway station ________ in Ji’an last year. It now connects the city with many other big cities in China. A. is built B. was built C. will be built D. has been built 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：去年吉安建成了一个新的高铁站。它现在将该城市与中国许多其他大城市连接起来。 根据时间状语“last year”可知是一般过去时，故排除A和C；D选项为现在完成时，不与具体过去时间连用。主语station“高铁站”和谓语build“建造”之间是被动关系，表示高铁站被建成，故用被动语态，一般过去时的被动语态的结构为“was/were+过去分词”，由此可知，was built符合题意。 三、完形填空 (26分) A) (每小题1分) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳选项。 Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, and be what you want to be.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些为人处世的人生哲理，鼓励人们珍惜生命，关爱他人，积极面对生活，传递正能量给朋友。 【9题详解】 句意： 因为你只有一次生命和一次机会去做所有你想做的事情。 人只有“一次生命”，life“生命”符合语境。home“家”，mother“母亲”，school“学校”，均不符合语境逻辑。 【10题详解】 句意： 愿你拥有足够的幸福让你甜蜜，足够的尝试让你坚强。 根据“make you sweet”可知，此处应填正向情感词汇，happiness“幸福”符合语境。money“金钱”，work“工作”，time“时间”虽也是人生所需，但在此处无法直接对应“sweet”的情感逻辑。 【11题详解】 句意： 足够的悲伤让你保持人性，足够的希望让你快乐。 根据排比句式逻辑，“sadness”对应“human”，而“hope”通常带来积极情绪，joyful“快乐的”符合语境。sad“悲伤的”，rich“富有的”，surprised“惊讶的”均不符合“希望”带来的结果。 【12题详解】 句意： 总是设身处地为他人着想。 固定短语“put oneself in others’ shoes”，意为“设身处地为他人着想”。others’“别人的”符合语境。other“其他的”，each“每一个”，another“另一个”均无法构成该固定搭配。 【13题详解】 句意： 如果你觉得这很伤人，那它可能也伤了其他人。 根据“hurts you”可知，此处指代除你之外的“其他人”，people“人们/其他人”符合语境且为复数概念，对应前面的泛指。person“人”（单数），man“男人”，human being“人类”在此处语意稍显生硬或单复数不当。 【14题详解】 句意： 最幸福的人不一定拥有最好的一切。 根据常理及“they just make the most of everything”可知，幸福不在于拥有“最好的”东西。best“最好的”符合语境。worst“最差的”，most“最多的”，cheapest“最便宜的”均不符合文意。 【15题详解】 句意： 幸福属于那些哭泣过、受过伤、寻找过以及努力尝试过的人。 根据并列结构“those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched”可知，此处需要一个表示经历或付出的动词过去分词。tried“尝试/努力”符合语境，表示经历过奋斗。gone“去”，finished“完成”，done“做”语意不如tried贴切，无法体现为了幸福而付出的过程。 【16题详解】 句意：因为他们能理解并享受那些触动他们生命的人的重要性。 根据语境，经历过苦难的人更懂得珍惜身边人，明白他人的“重要性”。importance“重要性”符合语境。need“需求”，pride“骄傲”，shyness“害羞”均不符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 句意： 正如一句名言所说：“爱始于微笑，成长于亲吻，终结于泪水。” 这是一句著名的英文谚语，且符合全文关于情感经历的基调。Love“爱”符合语境。Like“喜欢”，Joy“快乐”，Dislike“不喜欢”均不是该谚语的原文搭配。 【18题详解】 句意： 最美好的未来将总是建立在被遗忘的过去之上。 根据“forgotten past”以及“You can’t go on well in life...”可知，此处讲的是面向“未来”。future“未来”符合语境。star“星星”，road“道路”，way“方法”虽有关联，但不如future与past的对比强烈。 【19题详解】 句意： 直到你放下过去的失败和心痛，你的生活才能过得好。 固定句型“not... until...”，意为“直到……才……”。句中“You can’t go on well”是否定形式，配合until使用。if“如果”，after“在……之后”，when“当……时候”均不能与can't构成此逻辑关系。 【20题详解】 句意： 过好你的生活，这样当你死去时，你是那个微笑着的人，而你周围的每个人都在哭泣。 根据“When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling”的对比结构，此处对应人生的终点，即die“死/去世”。born“出生”，come“来”，go“走”均无法构成这种生与死的强烈对比。 【21题详解】 句意： 请把这条信息发送给你生命中那些有意义的人。 根据“brighten someone’s day with this message”可知，本文体裁是一条需要转发的“信息/短信”。message“信息”符合语境。letter“信”，notice“通知”，card“卡片”均不符合“send this...”的即时通讯语境。 【22题详解】 句意： 发给那些在你真正需要时让你微笑的人。 根据“see the brighter side of things”可知，这些朋友能给你带来正能量，让你smile“微笑”。cry“哭”，speak“说话”，run“跑”均不符合“brighter side”的语境。 【23题详解】 句意： 如果你不（转发），别担心。没有什么坏事会发生在你身上。 根据“You will just miss out on the chance...”可知，不转发并不会导致负面后果，Nothing“没有什么”符合语境。Something“某事”，Anything“任何事”，Everything“每件事”均不符合否定句意逻辑。 B) (每小题1分) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。 make yourself about hear work rich why many peaceful difference never Once a fisherman was sitting near the seashore (海滨), singing under the shadow (阴影) of a tree. A ____24____ businessman who was passing by walked up to him and asked ____25____ he was sitting under a tree singing and not working. The fisherman replied that he had caught enough fish for the day. ____26____ this, the rich man got angry and said, “Why don’t you catch ____27____ fish instead of sitting here doing nothing?” The fisherman asked, “What would I do by catching more fish?” “You could catch more fish, sell them and____28____ more money, and buy a bigger boat.” “What would I do then?” “You could buy many boats and employ (雇用) many people ____29____ for you. You wouldn’t need to work ____30____.” “What would I do then?” “You could then enjoy your life ____31____, not worrying ____32____ tomorrow’s storms and hunger, and the next day’s cold and shelter (住处).” The fisherman was speechless (说不出话的). He ____33____ thought that much or planned that far ahead. Perhaps that was the real ____34____ between him and the businessman. 【答案】24. rich 25. why 26. Hearing 27. more 28. make 29. to work 30. yourself 31. peacefully 32. about 33. never 34. difference 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了富商劝渔夫多捕鱼赚钱、做大生意，渔夫只求当下安稳，二人对人生追求的想法截然不同。 【24题详解】 句意：一位路过的富商走到他身边，问他为什么坐在树下唱歌而不是工作。此处需要一个形容词，在句中修饰businessman。因为空后是名词businessman，需要用形容词作定语，rich表示“富有的”，符合语境，所以选择rich。 【25题详解】 句意：一位路过的富商走到他身边，问他为什么坐在树下唱歌而不是工作。此处需要一个连接副词，在句中引导宾语从句。因为后文解释渔夫坐在那里唱歌的原因，所以选择why。 【26题详解】 句意：听到这话，富商很生气。此处需要一个动词，在句中作状语。结合上文可知，这里指富商听到渔夫的话以后。hear与主语the rich man是主动关系，且位于句首表示“听到这件事后”，应用现在分词。句首需首字母大写，故填Hearing。 【27题详解】 句意：你为什么不去捕更多的鱼，而是坐在这里什么也不做呢？此处需要一个比较级，在句中修饰fish。因为富商建议渔夫捕“更多的鱼”，所以选择many并变为more。 【28题详解】 句意：你可以捕更多的鱼，把它们卖掉，赚更多的钱，然后买一艘更大的船。此处需要一个动词，在句中与catch、sell并列。因为“make money”表示“赚钱”，且could后接动词原形，所以选择make。 【29题详解】 句意：你可以买很多船，并雇用很多人为你工作。此处需要一个动词不定式，在句中作宾语补足语。因为“employ sb. to do sth.”表示“雇用某人做某事”，所以选择work并变为to work。 【30题详解】 句意：你自己就不需要工作了。此处需要一个反身代词，在句中强调主语。因为主语是You，对应的反身代词是yourself，所以选择yourself。 【31题详解】 句意：那时你就可以平静地享受生活，不必担心明天的风暴和饥饿，以及第二天的寒冷和住处。此处需要一个副词，在句中修饰enjoy。因为peaceful的副词形式peacefully表示“平静地”，符合语境，所以选择peaceful并变为peacefully。 【32题详解】 句意：那时你就可以平静地享受生活，不必担心明天的风暴和饥饿，以及第二天的寒冷和住处。此处需要一个介词，在句中构成固定搭配。因为“worry about”表示“担心”，所以选择about。 【33题详解】 句意：他从未想过那么多，也从未计划得那么长远。此处需要一个副词，在句中修饰thought。因为never表示“从不”，符合语境，所以选择never。 【34题详解】 句意：也许这就是他和富商之间真正的不同。此处需要一个名词，在句中作表语。因为“the difference between...and...”表示“……和……之间的区别”，是固定搭配，所以选择difference。 四、阅读理解 (46分) A) 请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (每小题2分) A What do you think of the future of AI (人工智能)? Will it be a good thing? I think AI will be more useful in our future life. It’s now used in many fields, like mobile phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I’m sure AI will help us solve many problems. Tina I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at high speed. Humans may be replaced (取代) because AI robots will do lots of human jobs. Bill I really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live, and the way we think. Imagine what will happen if we could put a CPU (中央处理器) into our brain! Soon we’ll be able to improve our maths and memory. How exciting it is! Mary Think of what’s happening right now: Some robots are used to kill animals under humans’ orders. So I think AI will be very dangerous for humans. We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do. John 35. How does John think that AI will be in the future? A. Exciting. B. Surprising. C. Helpful. D. Dangerous. 36. What does Tina think of AI? A. It will be a danger to the world. B. It may become smarter than humans. C. It will help us solve many problems. D. It will change the way we work. 37. What can be inferred from the four people’s opinions? A. Everyone believes AI will be beneficial. B. They all worry about AI replacing humans. C. Their opinions are divided on the future of AI. D. They think AI will only be used in medicine and phones. 【答案】35. D 36. C 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕“人工智能的未来是否是一件好事”这一话题，Tina、Bill、Mary、John 四个人分别表达了自己对于人工智能发展的不同看法，有人看好 AI 带来的便利与改变，也有人担忧 AI 会带来失业、安全等各类隐患。 【35题详解】 根据John的观点部分：“So I think AI will be very dangerous for humans.”可知，John认为AI在未来是危险的。 【36题详解】 根据Tina的观点部分：“However, I’m sure AI will help us solve many problems.”可知，Tina认为AI将帮助解决许多问题。选项B虽被提及但她表示“No one really knows...”，不是她的确切观点。 【37题详解】 综合四人的观点：Tina认为AI有用且能解决问题（积极）；Bill担心人类被取代（消极/担忧）；Mary觉得AI改变生活很令人兴奋（积极）；John认为AI很危险（消极/担忧）。由此可见，他们对AI未来的看法是不一致的、分化的。 B For Chinese winter sports athletes (运动员), the ski season after Beijing 2022 was well marked as one to prepare for the next Winter Olympics. Some athletes in northeast China’s Jilin Province were improving their skills on cold days and training hard for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics. The winter sunlight added warmth to a usual training day of coach Li Geliang and his cross-country skiing team. As a former Asian champion, he has been training the team at a ski area in northeast China’s Changbai Mountains this winter for the 2026 Winter Games. A total of 14 athletes aged 12 to 17 skied across the tracks at an altitude of over 650 meters as temperatures fell to -17℃. “It’s the first snow season for us to train for Milan 2026. They are the hope for future games,” Li pointed at these young athletes and said. With a red face because of the cold and frost,16-year-old Zhang Hangshuo has been training for cross-country skiing for two years and made great progress in her skills this winter. “I want to join the national team at 18 and compete in the Winter Olympics in three years’ time,” said the youngster, who was previously a basketball player. Cross-country skiing is an athletics-like sport in the Winter Olympics, and Chinese competitors (参赛者) have been trying to narrow the gap between themselves and the world’s leading skiers. “We have been training in Changbai Mountains for over a month and will continue to practice in Harbin for a national championship,” said Ma Qinghua, who was placed tenth in the cross-country skiing women’s 4x5 km relay at Beijing 2022, the best result for China in its history. “China is expected to make breakthroughs (突破) in the short-distance cross-country skiing, and I wish to be a part of that,” said Ma. “Italy is a lucky place for Chinese skiers. Back in 2006, Han Xiaopeng won the country’s first skiing gold in Turin. I hope they can make new miracles in Milan,” said Li Geliang. 38. Where did some athletes improve their skills for winter sports according to the passage? A. In Beijing, China. B. In Changbai Mountains. C. In Turin, Italy. D. In Heilongjiang Province. 39. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The 14 athletes aged 12 to 17. B. The coaches. C. Chinese competitors. D. The temperatures. 40. What is the main function of Paragraph 3 in the passage? A. To introduce the coach’s background and achievements. B. To describe the training environment and the athletes’ goals. C. To explain the history of cross-country skiing in China. D. To compare Chinese skiers with skiers from other countries. 41. What can we infer from Ma Qinghua’s words? A. She is satisfied with her past result and will retire soon. B. She hopes to make breakthroughs with the team in the future. C. Short-distance skiing is the easiest event in the Winter Olympics. D. China has never won any medals in cross-country skiing. 42. Which of the following words can best describe the athletes and coaches? A. Kind and creative. B. Brave and hard-working. C. Careful and funny. D. Strict and honest. 【答案】38. B 39. A 40. B 41. B 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国冬季运动运动员在2022年北京冬奥会后，为备战2026年米兰冬奥会而在长白山刻苦训练的故事。 【38题详解】 第二段指出：“As a former Asian champion, he has been training the team at a ski area in northeast China’s Changbai Mountains this winter for the 2026 Winter Games.”，说明运动员们在“长白山”提升技能。 【39题详解】 第三段前文提到：“A total of 14 athletes aged 12 to 17 skied across the tracks...”，随后引用教练的话：“‘They are the hope for future games,’ Li pointed at these young athletes...”，因此划线词“They”指代前文的“那14名12至17岁的运动员”。 【40题详解】 第三段既描述了训练环境：“...at an altitude of over 650 meters as temperatures fell to -17°C”，也通过教练的话表明了运动员的目标：“‘They are the hope for future games,’ Li pointed at these young athletes and said.”，因此该段的主要作用是“描述训练环境和运动员的目标”。 【41题详解】 第六段马清华说：“China is expected to make breakthroughs in the short-distance cross-country skiing, and I wish to be a part of that,”，从中可以推断出“她希望将来和团队一起取得突破”。 【42题详解】 全文描述了运动员们在严寒中坚持训练（如第三段“temperatures fell to -17°C”），教练和运动员都表达了远大目标（如第四段张航硕的梦想和第六段马清华的期望），因此最能形容他们的词是“勇敢且努力的”。 C Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It's the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. Since the Warring States Period（战国时期）, the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people's homes. With the cultural and economic（经济的） development of Song and Yuan dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup（糖浆） as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. However, it's a pity that this folk art is dying. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What's worse, few people seem to be willing to pass down the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people's daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产） in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed down. 43. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Valuable and expensive. B. Useful and cheap. C. Special but worthless. D. Simple but priceless. 44. When did sugar painting appear? A. In the Warring States Period. B. In the Tang Dynasty. C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty. 45. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To avoid syrup becoming hard. C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To reduce people's waiting time. 46. What's the writer's attitude（态度） towards today's sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 47. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Exploring the art of sugar painting B. Improving the taste of sugar painting C. Effects of the sugar producing technology D. Ways to change the future of sugar painting 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. B 46. C 47. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕糖画这一独特的民间艺术展开，从其名称含义入手，追溯了从战国时期制糖方法的起源，到唐、宋、元时期的发展，再到明朝糖画正式出现的历史脉络。同时，详细介绍了糖画与普通绘画的区别及其制作过程，并阐述了如今这门艺术面临的传承困境与保护意义，展现了糖画作为非物质文化遗产的独特价值。 【43题详解】 句意：第二段中划线单词 “precious” 可能是什么意思？ 考查词义猜测。根据第二段中 “the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes（这种珍贵的产品曾经只供给皇帝和诸侯）” 可知，“precious” 修饰的糖曾是仅供应皇室的物品，说明其价值高、珍贵。“Valuable and expensive（有价值且昂贵的）” 符合语境；“Useful and cheap（有用但便宜的）”“Special but worthless（特别但无价值的）”“Simple but priceless（简单但无价的）” 均与 “仅供皇室使用” 的语境不符。故填 Valuable and expensive. 【44题详解】 句意：糖画出现在什么时候？ 考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句 “In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.（在明朝，一些人在糖碗里加入寓意吉祥的图案，糖画就出现了）” 可知，糖画出现于明朝。“In the Warring States Period（战国时期）” 是制糖方法起源时期，“In the Tang Dynasty（唐朝）” 是制糖技术进步时期，“In the Yuan Dynasty（元朝）” 是人们对甜味需求变化时期，均与糖画出现时间无关。故填 In the Ming Dynasty. 【45题详解】 句意：为什么糖画师傅必须快速完成作品？ 考查细节理解。根据第三段中 “Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly.（因为糖浆冷却后可能会变硬，所以师傅们必须快速完成作品）” 可知，快速完成作品是为了避免糖浆变硬。“To show their excellent skills（展示精湛技艺）”“To protect the spoon and the table（保护勺子和桌子）”“To reduce people's waiting time（减少人们的等待时间）” 在文中均未提及，不符合语境。故填 To avoid syrup becoming hard. 【46题详解】 句意：根据第四段，作者对如今的糖画持什么态度？ 考查推理判断。第四段提到 “it's a pity that this folk art is dying（遗憾的是，这种民间艺术正在消亡）”“fewer needs（需求减少）”“few people seem to be willing to pass down the art（很少有人愿意传承这门艺术）”，通过 “pity”“dying” 等词可看出作者对糖画现状的担忧。“Uncaring（漠不关心的）”“Doubtful（怀疑的）”“Unclear（不明确的）” 均不符合语境。故填 Worried. 【47题详解】 句意：文章合适的标题是什么？ 考查主旨大意。文章围绕糖画展开，介绍了其定义、历史起源（从战国到明朝的发展）、制作方法（用糖浆、勺子在桌上快速创作）、现状（濒临消亡）及保护意义（非物质文化遗产），整体是对糖画艺术的探索。“Improving the taste of sugar painting（改善糖画的口感）” 未提及；“Effects of the sugar producing technology（制糖技术的影响）” 仅为第二段部分内容；“Ways to change the future of sugar painting（改变糖画未来的方法）” 文中未详细说明。“Exploring the art of sugar painting（探索糖画艺术）” 能概括全文主旨。故填 Exploring the art of sugar painting. D Have you ever heard the old saying “Never judge (判断) a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence (智力) of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations (情形). A young man with an unusual gift (天赋) in writing may find himself speechless in front of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid (傻). With a pen and a piece of paper, he can express himself better than anybody else. Other people may fool you into overestimating (高估) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression (印象) on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, ________. It all boils down to (归结为) this: you can’t judge someone by appearance (外表). The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover. 48. What can we learn about the young man in Paragraph 2? A. He is not good at speaking. B. He is successful with girls. C. He has a gift for writing. D. He is a famous writer. 49. Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank in Paragraph 3? A. teachers will be very worried about him B. he may score near the bottom of the class C. he may get better grades than other students D. teachers become very dissatisfied with him 50. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To tell us how to be a better student. B. To introduce different kinds of intelligence. C. To persuade us not to judge intelligence by appearance. D. To describe how to react in difficult situations. 51. Put the following events in the correct order according to the passage ①The writer says we should get to know a person to judge his/her intelligence. ②The writer gives an example of a talented writer who is speechless before a girl. ③The writer introduces the old saying “Never judge a book by its cover.” ④The writer gives an example of a student who listens carefully but may fail exams. A. ③-②-④-① B. ③-④-②-① C. ②-③-④-① D. ②-④-③-① 52. What does the writer probably agree with? A. A good student always listens carefully in class. B. A shy person is usually not very smart. C. First impressions don’t always tell the truth. D. Teachers are the best judges of students’ intelligence. 【答案】48. C 49. B 50. C 51. A 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文借用谚语“勿以封面评判书籍”指出不能凭外表、一时表现判断他人智力，有的人临场木讷却很有才，有人表面用功实则不行，唯有深入了解才能客观评判一个人。 【48题详解】 根据第二段第二句“A young man with an unusual gift in writing”可知，这位年轻人有写作天赋。 【49题详解】 根据第三段首句“Other people may fool you into overestimating (高估) their intelligence by putting up a good front.”可知，本段主要讲述有些人会通过伪装让人“高估”他们的智力。空处前文提到该学生上课认真、给老师留下好印象，随后“But”转折，意味着实际情况与好印象相反，即考试成绩可能很差，从而印证智力被高估。故选B(他可能在班级排名接近底部)。 【50题详解】 第一段引出谚语“Never judge a book by its cover”，最后一段再次强调“you can’t judge someone by appearance”。整篇文章旨在通过例子说服读者不要仅凭外表或初步印象来判断他人的智力。 【51题详解】 根据文章行文顺序：第一段引入谚语“Never judge a book by its cover”(③)；第二段举例擅长写作但在女孩面前失语的年轻人(②)；第三段举例上课认真但考试可能失败的学生(④)；第四段总结并提出建议，要了解一个人才能判断其智力(①)。正确顺序为③-②-④-①。 【52题详解】 在第二段和第三段，作者分别用一个例子说明外表或行为表现（例如上课认真、面对女孩失语）不一定反映真实智力，核心观点是“不要以貌取人”。这与C项“第一印象并不总是说明真相”相符。 B) (每小题2分) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends upon ourselves. ____53____ Here are a few suggestions to help us be happier. ____54____ Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. We should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music, or spending time with close friends. ____55____ People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active and have hobbies. ____56____ Many people go dancing or play sports, such as skating or soccer. They can only think about the activity at that moment. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they help others. ____57____ We can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy food for our family, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. A. Laughter is the key to happiness. B. They can help us forget our problems. C. In other words, we make our own happiness. D. Close friends make people live happier lives. E. If we want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. F. People who have brothers and sisters are happier than others. G. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. 【答案】53. C 54. G 55. D 56. B 57. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了幸福取决于我们自己，并提出了三条关于如何获得幸福的具体建议。 【53题详解】 前文说“金钱和成功本身不能带来持久的幸福，幸福取决于我们自己(depends upon ourselves)”，后文说“以下是一些帮助我们更幸福的建议(suggestions)”。C项“In other words, we make our own happiness.”中“In other words”承接前文“depends upon ourselves”，“make our own happiness”与后文的“suggestions”形成因果关系(因此需要建议)，符合语境。 【54题详解】 空处位于段落开头，应是第一条建议；后文说“我们常常花太多时间思考未来而忽略了享受当下”。G项“The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life”中“The first secret”开启建议的列举，且“enjoy the simple things”与后文“enjoy life’s simple pleasures”直接对应。 【55题详解】 前文说“我们应该享受简单的快乐，比如与亲密朋友(close friends)共度时光”，后文说“有几个亲密朋友(close friends)的人通常活得更快乐、更健康(live happier and healthier lives)”。D项“Close friends make people live happier lives”中“Close friends”与前后文的“close friends”一致，“make people live happier lives”与后文“live happier and healthier lives”语义高度重合，承上启下。 【56题详解】 前文说“另一个秘诀是积极活跃、有爱好(to be active and have hobbies)”，后文举例说明跳舞、运动等让人专注于当下活动。B项“They can help us forget our problems.”中“They”指代前文的“to be active and have hobbies”，“forget our problems”与最后一句“only think about the activity at that moment”直接对应(因为专注于活动所以忘记烦恼)。 【57题详解】 前文说“最后，很多人从帮助他人中找到幸福，研究表明帮助他人让人感觉良好”，后文列举了帮助他人的具体例子。E项“If we want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.”承接前文，引出后文列举的具体帮助行为。 五、补全对话 (5分) (每小题1分) 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。一空一句。 (Li Hua and Wang Tao are talking about their weekend plans on Friday afternoon.)

Will it be a good thing? I think AI will be more useful in our future life. It’s now used in many fields, like mobile phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I’m sure AI will help us solve many problems. Tina I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at high speed. Humans may be replaced (取代) because AI robots will do lots of human jobs. Bill I really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live, and the way we think. Imagine what will happen if we could put a CPU (中央处理器) into our brain! Soon we’ll be able to improve our maths and memory. How exciting it is!

Some athletes in northeast China’s Jilin Province were improving their skills on cold days and training hard for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics. The winter sunlight added warmth to a usual training day of coach Li Geliang and his cross-country skiing team. As a former Asian champion, he has been training the team at a ski area in northeast China’s Changbai Mountains this winter for the 2026 Winter Games. A total of 14 athletes aged 12 to 17 skied across the tracks at an altitude of over 650 meters as temperatures fell to -17℃. “It’s the first snow season for us to train for Milan 2026. They are the hope for future games,” Li pointed at these young athletes and said. With a red face because of the cold and frost,16-year-old Zhang Hangshuo has been training for cross-country skiing for two years and made great progress in her skills this winter. “I want to join the national team at 18 and compete in the Winter Olympics in three years’ time,” said the youngster, who was previously a basketball player. Cross-country skiing is an athletics-like sport in the Winter Olympics, and Chinese competitors (参赛者) have been trying to narrow the gap between themselves and the world’s leading skiers. “We have been training in Changbai Mountains for over a month and will continue to practice in Harbin for a national championship,” said Ma Qinghua, who was placed tenth in the cross-country skiing women’s 4x5 km relay at Beijing 2022, the best result for China in its history. “China is expected to make breakthroughs (突破) in the short-distance cross-country skiing, and I wish to be a part of that,” said Ma. “Italy is a lucky place for Chinese skiers. Back in 2006, Han Xiaopeng won the country’s first skiing gold in Turin. I hope they can make new miracles in Milan,” said Li Geliang. 38. Where did some athletes improve their skills for winter sports according to the passage? A. In Beijing, China. B. In Changbai Mountains. C. In Turin, Italy. D. In Heilongjiang Province. 39. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The 14 athletes aged 12 to 17. B. The coaches. C. Chinese competitors. D. The temperatures. 40. What is the main function of Paragraph 3 in the passage? A. To introduce the coach’s background and achievements. B. To describe the training environment and the athletes’ goals. C. To explain the history of cross-country skiing in China. D. To compare Chinese skiers with skiers from other countries. 41. What can we infer from Ma Qinghua’s words? A.

Since the Warring States Period（战国时期）, the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people's homes. With the cultural and economic（经济的） development of Song and Yuan dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup（糖浆） as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. However, it's a pity that this folk art is dying. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What's worse, few people seem to be willing to pass down the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people's daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产） in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed down. 43. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Valuable and expensive. B. Useful and cheap. C. Special but worthless. D. Simple but priceless. 44. When did sugar painting appear? A. In the Warring States Period. B. In the Tang Dynasty. C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty. 45. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To avoid syrup becoming hard. C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To reduce people's waiting time. 46. What's the writer's attitude（态度） towards today's sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 47. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Exploring the art of sugar painting B. Improving the taste of sugar painting C. Effects of the sugar producing technology D. Ways to change the future of sugar painting D Have you ever heard the old saying “Never judge (判断) a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence (智力) of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations (情形). A young man with an unusual gift (天赋) in writing may find himself speechless in front of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid (傻). With a pen and a piece of paper, he can express himself better than anybody else. Other people may fool you into overestimating (高估) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression (印象) on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, ________. It all boils down to (归结为) this: you can’t judge someone by appearance (外表). The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover. 48.
