A. over B. across C. beyond D. against 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：暴风雨将在几小时内袭击，因此村民们正在与时间赛跑以保护他们的家园。 over越过、在……上方；across穿过；beyond超出；against反对。根据前半句“The storm would hit in a few hours”可知，村民们必须抓紧每一分每一秒来做好防备工作。表示“与时间赛跑”应使用固定搭配“race against time”。 4. My sister is ________ than me and she always comes up with new ideas. A. more outgoing B. less careful C. more creative D. less patient 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的姐姐/妹妹比我更有创造力，她总是能想出新点子。 more outgoing更外向的；less careful不太仔细的；more creative更有创造力的；less patient不太有耐心的。根据后半句“she always comes up with new ideas”可知，她经常想出新主意，说明她是有创造力的。应选more creative。 5. —Sam, good books are good friends. They help us open up a new world. —That’s true. ________ , reading novels helps me relax after work. A. However B. Otherwise C. Moreover D. Anyway 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——山姆，好书就是好朋友。它们帮助我们打开一个新世界。——没错。而且，读小说能帮助我在下班后放松。 考查副词辨析。However然而；Otherwise否则；Moreover而且，此外；Anyway无论如何。根据“That’s true...reading novels helps me relax after work.”可知，此处表示递进关系，用Moreover。故选C。 6.

A. puts it away B. sets it apart C. takes it off D. finds it out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：她连衣裙上美丽的花朵图案使它与店里所有其他款式都不同。短语“makes it different”在句中的意思是使它与众不同/脱颖而出。 puts it away把它收起来/放好；sets it apart使它与众不同/脱颖而出；takes it off把它脱掉/拿下；finds it out把它查明/找出。根据原句“makes it different from all the other styles”可知，这里指的是“使它与众不同”。固定短语“set sb./sth. apart (from sb./sth.)”表示“使某人/某物与众不同、使显得突出”，其语义同“makes it different”完全一致，应填sets it apart。 8. Simon may draw ________, if not better than, Timmy. You can choose either of them. A. as good as B. as well as C. not as good as D. not as well as 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：西蒙画得和蒂米一样好，即使不比他更好。你可以选择他们之中的任何一个。 as good as和……一样好（形容词原级比较）；as well as和……一样好（副词原级比较，作状语修饰动词）；not as good as不如……好（形容词原级的否定比较）；not as well as不如……好（副词原级的否定比较）。根据空前的实义动词“draw”可知，空处需填入副词作状语来修饰该动词，不能使用形容词good，排除A、C两项；根据后句“You can choose either of them.”可知，两人的绘画水平都很高、不相上下，此处是对两人能力的肯定，表示西蒙画得“和蒂米一样好”，应用副词原级比较的肯定结构as well as。 9. My father is busy. Every year, he only rests for ________ 10 days while we have many. A. at most B. at first C. at least D. at last 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我爸爸很忙。每年他仅仅最多休息10天，而我们有许多假期。 at most最多（常用于强调数量少，可与only连用以加强限制语气）；at first起初、起先；at least至少（常用于强调数量多）；at last终于、最后。根据前句“My father is busy”以及空前的“only”可知，此处在强调爸爸每年的休息时间非常短暂和受限。结合后句的对比“while we have many”可确定此处表示“最多”只有10天，应用固定短语at most。 10. — How do you like the Jiangsu Football League, Su Chao? —________. It caught the eye of the whole country. A. I am not sure B. Couldn’t be worse C. Couldn’t be better D. I don’t think so 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——苏超，你觉得江苏足球联赛怎么样？——再好不过了。它吸引了全国的目光。 I am not sure我不确定；Couldn’t be worse再糟糕不过；Couldn’t be better再好不过；I don’t think so我不这么认为。根据后句“It caught the eye of the whole country.”可知，此处是表达高度夸赞，Couldn’t be better符合句意。 三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 Peter left Miss Martin’s classroom and felt like a loser.

You need to make a little progress every day,” said Krista. The next day, she gave Peter a book: The Top 500 Most Often Misspelled Words. “There are 500 words. You still have 125 days before the final exam.” said Krista. “Every day you learn ____15____ of those words. Soon, you will ____16____ them all!” ____17____ Peter felt that was not easy for him, he accepted the challenge. Peter practiced every day, and he invented a word memory game with his little sister.

At 20. A. put in B. put out C. put up D. put away 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 16. B 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了彼得英语考试失利后，在朋友克里斯塔的鼓励和帮助下，通过每天坚持记单词，最终获得进步奖的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：他的朋友克里斯塔注意到他看起来不开心。 根据前一句“Peter left Miss Martin’s classroom and felt like a loser.” 彼得走出教室觉得自己是失败者，说明他不开心（unhappy），符合语境，A、C、D项情感色彩不符。 【12题详解】 句意：“我英语考试考砸了，” 彼得答道。 根据“too many spelling mistakes”，可知英语考试考砸了（failed），符合逻辑，B、C、D项与后文矛盾。 【13题详解】 句意：英语不是他的第一语言。 根据“Peter was from China”及考英语，可知他来自中国，母语是汉语，英语（English）不是母语。 【14题详解】 句意：“别担心！你每天进步一点点就好，”克里斯塔说。 根据安慰语境，可知用No worries，用于安慰。No way “绝不、不可能”，表拒绝，无安慰含义；No use “没用”，语义消极，只会加重彼的难过；No problem多用于别人道谢后的回复，意为“不客气”，不用于安慰失意的人。 【15题详解】 句意：你每天记四个单词，很快就能全部掌握！ 根据“There are 500 words. You still have 125 days before the final exam”，可知500/125=4，每天背 4 个（four）单词。 【16题详解】 句意：你每天记四个单词，很快就能全部掌握！ 根据学习目标，可知是掌握（master）单词。forget“忘记”，语义相反；develop “发展”（多搭配习惯、技能，不搭配单词）；predict“预测”，和背单词无关。 【17题详解】 句意：尽管彼得觉得这件事并不轻松，他还是接受了这个挑战。 根据前后转折关系：虽然很难，但他还是接受挑战。且位于句首，可知用Although，引导让步状语从句。But “但是”，不能放在句首引导从句，语法错误；If “如果”，表条件，逻辑不通；Because “因为”，表原因，逻辑不通。 【18题详解】 句意：他们发现这样学英语很有趣。 根据“…invented a word memory game…”，可知变得有趣（interesting）。符合玩游戏记单词的语境。A、B项消极，C项语境不符。 【19题详解】 句意：结课的最后一天，马丁老师欣喜地给彼得颁发了一份特别奖项：最佳进步学生奖。 介词用法：“on + 具体某一天”，the last day of class表示“上课最后一天”，是具体日期，选On。“In + 年 / 月 / 季节”，不接“具体某天”；To “朝向”，语义不通；“At + 具体时刻（几点几分）”，不接“完整一天”。 【20题详解】 句意：“真为你高兴，彼得！这份努力都是你自己一点点付出换来的！” 克里斯塔说道。 根据“hard work”，可知用“put in”表示“投入精力”。put out “熄灭、出版”，语义无关；put up “张贴、搭建、留宿”，语义无关；put away “收好、放起来”，语义无关。 四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A）阅读下面三篇短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 A Join the English Speech Contest (比赛) English Speech Contest 2025 Our school is organizing the “English Speech Contest 2025”.

Since everyone knows each other, the newcomer almost always feels left out. Sadly, that “newcomer” was me. I stood nervously in front of my new class. Everyone welcomed me, but I was too shy to say much and quickly took my seat. At break time, I went to the bathroom and filled my water bottle alone. I thought I would feel lonely, but experiencing it still felt heavy. Our first lesson was English. This school was moving much faster than my old one. What’s more, my classmates’ pronunciation and grammar were much better than mine. All of this made me worried. Then came PE class. I was glad to finally take a break. I sat under a tree, watching others play badminton. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice, “Help…” I turned around and saw a girl who had fainted (昏厥) in the hallway. I rushed to help her right away. “Help! Help!” I called to the teacher. Together, we carried her to the school nurse. Luckily, she only had low blood sugar. After some rest, she was fine again. But when I got back to the classroom, something changed. Some of my classmates asked me about the girl. Others said I was really brave. One person even asked if I wanted to walk home together after school. At that moment, I realized that I had found my place in this new school—not by trying to fit in, but by helping someone when they needed it most. 23. How did the author feel on the first day at the new school? A. Excited and happy. B. Nervous and lonely. C. Angry and upset. D. Bored and tired. 24. What does the word “heavy” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Light. B. Low. C. Interesting. D. Easy. 25. What caused the girl to faint? A. She had a bad cold. B. She fell down and hurt her leg. C. She had low blood sugar. D. She was scared of PE class. 26. What did the writer learn from this experience? A. It is important to study hard to fit in. B. Playing sports helps make new friends. C. Changing schools is the worst thing in the world. D. Helping others can help you become part of a group. 【答案】23. B 24. B 25. C 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在转入新学校后感到十分紧张和孤独，但在体育课上热心救助了一名因低血糖晕倒的同学后，不仅收获了同学的友谊，也成功融入了新集体，从而明白融入新环境的最佳方式是去主动帮助有需要的人的故事。 【23题详解】 根据第二段第一句“I stood nervously in front of my new class.”以及第三段第一句“At break time, I went to the bathroom and filled my water bottle alone.”中对作者独自行走及紧张心理的描写可知，作者在新学校的第一天感到非常紧张和孤独。 【24题详解】 根据第三段“I thought I would feel lonely, but experiencing it still felt heavy.”可知，作者虽然预料到自己会感到孤独，但当真正体验到这种孤独时，内心依然感到十分压抑、沉重和沮丧。选项B“Low”意为“心情低落的、消沉的、沮丧的”，与“heavy”在此处表达的心理状态最为契合。 【25题详解】 根据第五段第一句“Luckily, she only had low blood sugar.”可知，这名晕倒在走廊上的女孩是因为患有低血糖才突然昏厥的。 【26题详解】 根据最后一段“At that moment, I realized that I had found my place in this new school—not by trying to fit in, but by helping someone when they needed it most.”可知，作者通过这次经历明白，真正融入新学校并找到自身位置的方式不是刻意地去迎合他人，而是在别人最需要的时候给予帮助。 C You Can Be “Somebody” Too When we are young, many of us dream of becoming “somebody” when we grow up. But without enough strength or support, that dream can feel very far away. Sometimes, we may have strange ideas: should we just give up and “lie flat”? But the little pig and his three friends from the cartoon Nobody didn’t choose to do that. This past summer, their story made tens of millions of people in China happy and gave them hope. These four little unknown monsters pretend (假装) to be the famous team from Journey to the West. They leave their home on Langlang Mountain and start their own adventure (冒险). Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dream. But the little pig monster and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting “bad guys” and try to live life their own way. Some say Nobody is not just a movie—it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even when things are very hard. One of them is Pang Zhongwang. 26 years ago, he was born a poor “nobody” in the countryside of Hebei. This “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody”. Even with all these difficulties, Pang grew up positive (乐观的) and cheerful, influenced by his mother. Through great efforts, he is now a top student at Tsinghua University. So, what will you do with your big dreams? It’s clear—if you choose to “lie flat,” you will always be a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 27. Why do the four little monsters from Nobody leave Langlang Mountain? A. They look for food and new homes. B. They escape from other laughing monsters. C. They want to find their lost family members. D. They start their own adventure as a posing as a famous team. 28. What can we learn about Pang Zhongwang from the passage? A. He was born in a rich family in Hebei. B. His mother influenced him to be positive. C. He got into Tsinghua University by chance. D. He gave up his dream when facing difficulties. 29. What does the writer think of the four little monsters’ adventure? A. Their courage is worth remembering. B. They had better give up their foolish dream. C. Their failure makes their story lose its value. D. They are much luckier than most common people. 30. What is the main message of this passage? A. Nobody is the most popular cartoon in China this summer. B. Poor students like Pang Zhongwang can always enter top universities. C. Common people can become “somebodies” by holding on to their dreams. D. The four little monsters in Nobody are more famous than Pang Zhongwang. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要结合动画电影《浪浪山小妖怪》中四个小妖怪不甘平凡、勇于走出浪浪山去冒险的故事，以及庞众望凭借自身努力走出大山考入清华大学的真实事例，向读者传达了“平凡人只要坚持梦想、拒绝‘躺平’，也能成为‘大人物’”的励志主旨。 【27题详解】 根据第二段中“These four little unknown monsters pretend to be the famous team from Journey to the West. They leave their home on Langlang Mountain and start their own adventure.”可知，这四个默默无闻的小妖怪离开浪浪山是为了假扮成唐僧师徒去开启属于他们自己的冒险。 【28题详解】 根据第四段中“Even with all these difficulties, Pang grew up positive and cheerful, influenced by his mother.”可知，尽管面临重重的生活困难，庞众望仍在母亲的影响和熏陶下成长为了一个积极乐观、性格开朗的人。 【29题详解】 根据第二段中“Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dream. But the little pig monster and his friends don’t give up.”以及最后一段中作者对读者的鼓励和祝愿“We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own ‘Langlang Mountain’!”可知，作者对这群小妖怪勇于突破自我、拒绝向嘲笑妥协的坚守给予了高度的肯定与歌颂，选项A“他们的勇气值得被记住”最符合作者对他们这次冒险的态度。 【30题详解】 结合文章标题“You Can Be ‘Somebody’ Too”、第三段中“In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even when things are very hard.”以及最后一段中“…if you choose to ‘lie flat,’ you will always be a ‘nobody’.”可知，文章通过电影中小妖怪的虚构故事与现实中普通人庞众望的奋斗事迹，旨在鼓励每一位平凡的读者不甘于现状，只要坚持梦想、拒绝躺平，普通人也能成为属于自己的“大人物”，选项C“普通人只要坚持梦想就能成为大人物”最契合本文的励志核心。 B） 阅读短文，从短文后所给的A～F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you get nervous when you talk to someone?

It __________ that she won the singing competition——she practices hard every day. 【答案】41. in a mess 42. return 43. everywhere 44. journey 45. came as no surprise 【解析】 【41题详解】 句意：我们的房间乱糟糟的。我们一起打扫一下吧！根据后句“clean it”可知房间很乱，in a mess意为“乱糟糟、一团糟”，契合后文打扫房间的语境。 【42题详解】 句意：我明天会把这本书还给图书馆。根据“book to the library”可知是还书，will后接动词原形，return sth.to sp.意为“把某物归还到某地”，符合归还图书的语境。 【43题详解】 句意：作为一名八年级学生，我从不随地乱扔垃圾。本句缺少地点状语，everywhere作副词，意为“到处、各处”，drop litter everywhere表示“随地乱扔垃圾”。 【44题详解】 句意：去年夏天我们去山里进行了一次很棒的旅行。固定搭配go on a journey表示“去旅行”，不定冠词a后接可数名词单数journey，意为“旅行、出行”。 【45题详解】 句意：她赢得歌唱比赛并不令人意外——她每天都刻苦练习。本句缺少谓语部分，came as no surprise意为“不足为奇、并不意外”，后半句解释她努力练习，对应该短语语境。 B） 阅读短文，在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词，或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。 Flying kites is a very popular and fun outdoor activity.

If we stop studying, we will be left behind by others. To become a good learner, I think we should make a study plan, listen carefully in class, and review lessons on time. Asking questions when having difficulties is also helpful. I still remember when I first learned English. It was hard for me to remember new words. But I kept practicing every day.

Since everyone knows each other, the newcomer almost always feels left out. Sadly, that “newcomer” was me. I stood nervously in front of my new class. Everyone welcomed me, but I was too shy to say much and quickly took my seat. At break time, I went to the bathroom and filled my water bottle alone. I thought I would feel lonely, but experiencing it still felt heavy. Our first lesson was English. This school was moving much faster than my old one. What’s more, my classmates’ pronunciation and grammar were much better than mine. All of this made me worried. Then came PE class. I was glad to finally take a break. I sat under a tree, watching others play badminton. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice, “Help…” I turned around and saw a girl who had fainted (昏厥) in the hallway. I rushed to help her right away. “Help! Help!” I called to the teacher. Together, we carried her to the school nurse. Luckily, she only had low blood sugar. After some rest, she was fine again. But when I got back to the classroom, something changed. Some of my classmates asked me about the girl. Others said I was really brave. One person even asked if I wanted to walk home together after school. At that moment, I realized that I had found my place in this new school—not by trying to fit in, but by helping someone when they needed it most. 23. How did the author feel on the first day at the new school? A. Excited and happy. B. Nervous and lonely. C. Angry and upset. D. Bored and tired. 24. What does the word “heavy” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Light. B. Low. C. Interesting. D. Easy. 25. What caused the girl to faint? A. She had a bad cold. B. She fell down and hurt her leg. C. She had low blood sugar. D. She was scared of PE class. 26. What did the writer learn from this experience? A. It is important to study hard to fit in. B. Playing sports helps make new friends. C. Changing schools is the worst thing in the world. D. Helping others can help you become part of a group. C You Can Be “Somebody” Too When we are young, many of us dream of becoming “somebody” when we grow up. But without enough strength or support, that dream can feel very far away. Sometimes, we may have strange ideas: should we just give up and “lie flat”? But the little pig and his three friends from the cartoon Nobody didn’t choose to do that. This past summer, their story made tens of millions of people in China happy and gave them hope. These four little unknown monsters pretend (假装) to be the famous team from Journey to the West. They leave their home on Langlang Mountain and start their own adventure (冒险). Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dream. But the little pig monster and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting “bad guys” and try to live life their own way. Some say Nobody is not just a movie—it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even when things are very hard. One of them is Pang Zhongwang. 26 years ago, he was born a poor “nobody” in the countryside of Hebei. This “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody”. Even with all these difficulties, Pang grew up positive (乐观的) and cheerful, influenced by his mother. Through great efforts, he is now a top student at Tsinghua University. So, what will you do with your big dreams? It’s clear—if you choose to “lie flat,” you will always be a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 27. Why do the four little monsters from Nobody leave Langlang Mountain? A. They look for food and new homes. B. They escape from other laughing monsters. C. They want to find their lost family members. D. They start their own adventure as a posing as a famous team. 28. What can we learn about Pang Zhongwang from the passage? A. He was born in a rich family in Hebei. B. His mother influenced him to be positive. C. He got into Tsinghua University by chance. D. He gave up his dream when facing difficulties. 29. What does the writer think of the four little monsters’ adventure? A. Their courage is worth remembering. B. They had better give up their foolish dream. C. Their failure makes their story lose its value. D. They are much luckier than most common people. 30. What is the main message of this passage? A. Nobody is the most popular cartoon in China this summer. B. Poor students like Pang Zhongwang can always enter top universities. C. Common people can become “somebodies” by holding on to their dreams. D. The four little monsters in Nobody are more famous than Pang Zhongwang.
