【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了中国传统的艺术形式,包括孔明灯、剪纸和泥塑艺术,讲述了它们的历史、制作过程及文化寓意,展现中国人对生活与美的热爱。
【1题详解】
句意:最常见的东西,从纸到粘土再到竹子,都被变成了美的物体。
things是复数主语且与动词turn into构成被动关系,可知需用复数被动语态are turned into。turn into, turned into为主动,is turned into为单数被动,均不符合。
【2题详解】
句意:据说孔明灯最初是被诸葛亮使用的。
“were first used”是被动语态,动作执行者前用介词by。for“为了”,to“朝向”,with“和”,均不能引出使用者。
【3题详解】
句意:如今,孔明灯用于节日和其他庆典。
celebrations是复数名词,需用other修饰,表示“其他的庆典活动”。another后接单数,the other特指两者中另一个,others代词后不接名词。
【4题详解】
句意:它们被视为幸福和美好愿望的明亮象征。
介词of后接名词,选happiness。happy是形容词,happily是副词,happier是比较级,语法不匹配。
【5题详解】
句意:剪纸已经存在1500多年了。
for over 1,500 years表示持续时间段,需用现在完成时,主语Paper cutting为单数,用has been。is, was时态不对,have been主谓不一致。
【6题详解】
句意:剪纸听起来容易,但做起来可能很难。
指代前文“Paper cutting”这一单数概念,需用it。they指复数,this、that指代不明。
【7题详解】
句意:中国泥塑艺术很出名,因为作品虽小但看起来很真实。
前后句是因果关系,需用because引导原因状语从句。when“当……时”,if“如果”,although“虽然”,逻辑不符。
【8题详解】
句意:它们由手工精心塑形,之后风干。
修饰动词“shaped”,需用副词carefully。care, carefulness是名词,careful是形容词。
【9题详解】
句意:干燥之后,它们被高温烧制。
介词After后接动名词,需用drying。dry原形,dries三单,dried过去式,语法错误。
【10题详解】
句意:完成一切需要几周时间。
固定句型“It takes + 时间 + to do sth”,需用动词不定式to complete作真正主语。complete原形、completes三单、completing动名词均不适用该句型。
二、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

It’s always a ____17____ choice because all the dogs get so excited to see me. I remember teaching Max, a little dog, how to sit.

However, centers often run low on basic things like pet food and medicine. To help the animal center, I collected small donations from my school after learning about this ____19____.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述作者暑期在动物救助中心做志愿者的亲身经历,介绍志愿工作里遇到的各类挑战、自己克服内心恐惧的过程,以及为救助物资筹集善款的行动,最后点明这段志愿经历是自己假期做出的最好选择。
【11题详解】
句意:我很快意识到我想做的事就是帮助动物。
后文“volunteer at the local animal center”表明作者的目标是帮扶小动物,help意为“帮助”,贴合志愿帮扶的语境。study“学习”、observe“观察”、follow“跟随”均无法匹配志愿者服务的核心行为,不符合语境。
【12题详解】
句意:在动物中心的工作并不总是令人兴奋的。
后文“destroy your shirts”和“throwing it at you”体现出这份工作有杂乱、麻烦的一面,并非全程轻松有趣,exciting意为“令人兴奋的”,此处用否定形式体现工作存在负面体验。boring“无聊的”、valuable“有价值的”、tiring“劳累的”不能和后文麻烦细节形成逻辑呼应,不符合语境。
【13题详解】
句意:投喂猫咪时要小心你的新鞋子。
后文“Some of them show dislike of food by throwing it at you”说明鞋子容易被弄脏,new意为“新的”,对应需要小心爱护的鞋子。cheap“便宜的”、ugly“丑陋的”、comfortable“舒适的”无法体现需要格外留意保护的含义,不符合语境。
【14题详解】
句意:事实上,起初我很害怕狗狗。
前文介绍志愿工作充满各类挑战,此处转折引出作者一开始害怕狗狗的真实心理,Actually意为“事实上”,用于引出客观真实的情况。Clearly“清楚地”、Unfortunately“不幸地”、Strangely“奇怪地”不能起到转折引出内心真实感受的作用,不符合语境。
【15题详解】
句意:“别担心,先让它闻闻你的手,”他鼓励我,“你看,它现在在摇尾巴。”
根据“Don’t worry. Just let her sniff your hand first”能看出朋友是在安抚、鼓舞作者克服恐惧,encouraged意为“鼓励”,贴合安慰打气的场景。welcomed“欢迎”、forced“强迫”、respected“尊重”均不符合朋友安抚开导的行为逻辑,不符合语境。
【16题详解】
句意:我喜欢四处走走,挑选要遛的狗狗。
前文提到志愿工作包含训练狗狗,日常会带狗狗散步,walk意为“遛”,是动物中心志愿者的常规工作。protect“保护”、keep“饲养”、train“训练”无法对应“walking around”挑选狗狗出门的行为,不符合语境。
【17题详解】
句意:做出选择总是一件难事,因为所有的狗狗见到我都会特别兴奋。
后半句“all the dogs get so excited to see me”说明每只狗狗都惹人喜爱,很难从中挑选,difficult意为“困难的”,贴合难以抉择的心情。possible“可能的”、wise“明智的”、right“正确的”无法体现难以挑选的纠结感,不符合语境。
【18题详解】
句意:我们组里另一位志愿者教会它如何抬手握手。
根据文章主题“volunteer”以及“in our group”可知,小组内成员身份都是志愿者,volunteer意为“志愿者”,契合文章场景。friend“朋友”、keeper“饲养员”、teacher“老师”不符合文中身份设定,不符合语境。
【19题详解】
句意:了解到这个需求后,我在校内收集小额捐款。
前文“centers often run low on basic things”说明救助中心物资短缺,存在物资补给的需求,need意为“需求”,贴合文意。danger“危险”、risk“风险”、work“工作”均和物资短缺的描述无关,不符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:对我而言,在动物中心做志愿是我暑假做出过最好的决定。
第一段“planning my summer holidays... chose to volunteer”表明这是作者为假期规划做出的选择,decision意为“决定”,匹配原文逻辑。prediction“预测”、promise“承诺”、talent“天赋”无法对应主动选择志愿这件事,不符合语境。
三、阅读(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从21~35各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
A human boy, Billy and his dog, Oscar were walking in a field. It was getting dark.
A spaceship was trying to land on an unknown planet.
In the spaceship, the captain was unhappy. Something was wrong. He sent a message to his own planet and got ready to land.
“Come on!” called the boy. The dog was happy. He was wagging his tail. Billy gave the dog a snack. Suddenly, Billy and Oscar heard an unusual noise. Then they saw a light near some trees.
Only the captain was alive in the spaceship. “I am alone, but I will find the strongest creature and control it. Then I will control the planet.”
Billy called Oscar again but he didn’t come. Oscar ran to the trees.
The captain got out of his spaceship—he felt safer in it, although more and more uncomfortable. The air was fresh on this planet but he didn’t take off his spacesuit. He saw huge green leaves everywhere. He climbed to the top of one of them so that he could look down and check everything carefully.
Oscar smelled something. Maybe it was good to eat. He tried to pick up a metal object with his teeth.
The captain saw a huge monster. He jumped onto its leg. He climbed up and went into the monster’s head. “Now I can control you,” he said.
Billy found Oscar. He was moving his head strangely. Billy shouted “Come here!” But Oscar didn’t move. He just looked at Billy.
The captain was looking at the boy, too. “Kill that creature,” he said.
Oscar jumped at Billy and knocked him to the ground. “Oscar!” cried Billy. He was scared and hit Oscar on his head. Then something small fell out of Oscar’s ear and Oscar wagged his tail happily again.
The small metal “thing” was on the ground. The unlucky captain was hit and passed out.
The boy and the dog ran across the field and went home.
21. What’s the relationship between Billy and the captain?
A. Owner and pet. B. Human and alien. C. Enemies. D. Teammates.
22. What probably caused the “unusual noise”?
A. Oscar jumped to get the snack. B. Billy and Oscar ran into a tree.
C. The spaceship crashed near the trees. D. The captain cried for others’ death.
23. What can we know about the captain?
A. He was the strongest astronaut. B. He didn’t need to breathe air.
C. He was a small metal creature. D. He liked climbing up high.
24. Why was Oscar moving his head strangely?
A. Oscar was playing with Billy.
B. The captain controlled Oscar.
C. Oscar didn’t want to follow Billy’s order.
D. Oscar wanted to get something out of his ear.
25. Which shows the order of the events?
a. b. c. d.
A. c-d-b-a B. c-d-a-b C. d-c-a-b D. d-c-b-a
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 24. B 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了男孩与狗遇外星船长,船长试图通过控制狗来征服地球,但被男孩意外打落,最终逃脱。
【21题详解】
文章前面部分提到“A human boy, Billy and his dog, Oscar were walking in a field. It was getting dark. A spaceship was trying to land on an unknown planet. In the spaceship, the captain was unhappy. Something was wrong. He sent a message to his own planet and got ready to land.”,船长是外星人,企图控制地球生物;Billy是普通人类男孩。两者是人类与外星人的关系。
【22题详解】
原文第四段提到“Suddenly, Billy and Oscar heard an unusual noise. Then they saw a light near some trees.”(突然,比利和奥斯卡听到一个不寻常的声音。接着,他们看到树丛附近有道光。),随后提到飞船坠毁。噪音和光来自飞船在树附近坠毁/着陆。
【23题详解】
原文“He saw huge green leaves... He climbed to the top of one of them...”、后文“something small fell out of Oscar’s ear”及“small metal ‘thing’ ”表明船长是微小的金属生物。
【24题详解】
船长跳进Oscar耳朵并说“Now I can control you”,之后Oscar行为异常,说明Oscar被船长控制。
【25题详解】
a.船长从Oscar耳中掉落(对应文末“something small fell out of Oscar’s ear”);b.船长试图控制Oscar(对应“went into the monster’s head”);c.船长看到怪物(Oscar)(对应“The captain saw a huge monster”);d.Billy和Oscar听到噪音(对应“heard an unusual noise”)。正确顺序:d(听到噪音)→c(船长看到Oscar)→b(控制Oscar)→a(掉落),即d-c-b-a,选项D正确。
(B)
My name is Zhang Yufu. I have been driving trucks (卡车) in Yunnan for 15 years. But nothing prepared me for the phone call on August 3rd, 2021. “We need you to guide some elephants,” the voice said. “Elephants? In my truck?” With questions in my mind, I set off for Yuanjiang.
In Yuanjiang area, I saw other truck drivers. None of us had ever seen wild elephants. We were given a simple but alarming task: close off all roads except the bridge.
For five days, we lived in our trucks. Every night, we heard stories about the elephants. The group was led by an adult female, with males guarding them. They lived in Xishuangbanna. Dry weather had made them move north to find a better place to live. Now the rainy season came. It was time for them to return. Elephants are very smart. Before moving, they chose routes with fewer people to protect their babies.
But the Yuanjiang River was a big problem. Heavy rain raised the water level, and the group couldn’t cross the river with two of the baby elephants. So the experts decided to help. They planned to block other roads with our trucks, leave corn along the way and guide the elephants to cross only the Yuanjiang Bridge.
At 7:30 p.m. on August 8, my radio rang, “They are coming. Stay in your trucks. No lights! No noise!”
My heart beat fast. Fourteen huge shadows moved like slow, gray hills. The leader stopped at the bridge. She raised her trunk and sniffed the air. For a long minute, she didn’t move. We all held our breath.
Then, slowly, she stepped onto the bridge. One by one, the others followed. The babies stayed in the middle, protected by all adults on all sides. The 40 minutes’ crossing seemed like a lifetime. When the last elephant disappeared into the forest, everyone cheered.
Now whenever I cross the Yuanjiang Bridge, a picture of the mother elephant stepping on the bridge always appears in my mind. It reminds me that we have one shared home.
26. How did Zhang Yufu feel when he got the call?
A. He was joyful to drive trucks. B. He was surprised to see wild animals.
C. He was afraid of not finishing the task. D. He was confused about working for animals.
27. Why were the elephants guided to cross the bridge?
A. Male elephants could protect them well. B. Baby elephants could go home safely.
C. They could collect more food on the way. D. This was the nearest route to travel back.
28. What can we know about the elephants?
A. They are well-organized. B. They are born to swim.
C. They enjoy dry weather. D. They are close to humans.
29. What does the underlined word “They” refer to?
A. The drivers. B. The elephants. C. The experts. D. The trucks.
30. What is the theme of the story?
A. Wild elephants are smarter to guide. B. Humans and animals can live in peace.
C. Animals are humans’ great helpers. D. Wild animals belong to nature.
【答案】26. D 27. B 28. A 29. B 30. B
【解析】

【29题详解】
根据第五段无线电内容“They are coming. Stay in your trucks.”以及第六段紧接着描述的“Fourteen huge shadows moved like slow, gray hills.”可知,这里的“They”指代的是正在靠近的大象。
【30题详解】
根据最后一段“It reminds me that we have one shared home.”并结合全文人类帮助大象安全返回的故事可知,本文的主题是人类与动物可以和平共处。
(C)
Imagine a dinosaur in an ancient forest. It is running around, looking for its next meal. With an angry cry, it opens its mouth, raises its beautiful feather-covered arms, and...
Wait, feathers on a dinosaur? For hundreds of years, people believed that dinosaurs looked like huge lizards. Just look at all those dinosaurs in books, films and TV shows! However, thanks to a piece of amber (琥珀), scientists now know that this idea is wrong. In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur — with feathers.
These beautiful golden stones quietly keep pieces of the past. They can tell us whether dinosaurs had feathers, but that’s not all. They also help us understand that life on Earth has always changed. A piece of amber from Northern Europe, for example, holds a flower. This species no longer grows in this area. But the find proves (证明) that it did 35 million years ago. In the future, amber may also help us discover whether other species have changed over time.
Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered. In a piece of amber from Africa, scientists found 13 ants. Research shows that they are a completely new species. Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the Earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants. Who knows whether this piece of amber will tell us more secrets?
As a window on the past, amber has been much studied. However, it’s still not fully understood. We should put more effort into research. Then we can use this key to unlock more secrets of nature.
31. Why is a dinosaur mentioned at the beginning?
A. To record a natural scene. B. To introduce its behaviors.
C. To raise readers’ interest. D. To disagree on an old idea.
32. What can we learn about dinosaurs from the amber?
A. They were hunting animals. B. They looked like lizards.
C. Some were popular. D. Some had feathers.
33. Why is the amber from Northern Europe mentioned?
A. To describe amber as beautiful stones. B. To prove species have always changed.
C. To explain the Earth has a long history. D. To introduce a new species of rare flowers.
34. What new belief does the amber from Africa support?
A. There are still unknown species. B. 13 new species of ants show up.
C. Ants come from the northern Earth. D. There were ants in the southern Earth.
35. Where can we find this passage?
A. In a science magazine about nature. B. In a news report on amber exhibitions.
C. In a sci-fi book about time travelling. D. In an art poster of beautiful stones.
【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了琥珀的科研价值,琥珀能留存远古生物痕迹,帮助科学家刷新对恐龙、物种演化、蚂蚁起源的认知,还蕴藏许多待发掘的自然秘密。
【31题详解】
第一段描绘长羽毛的恐龙画面制造悬念,提出大众认知误区,以此吸引读者往下阅读,对应答案To raise readers’ interest.
【32题详解】
第二段指出研究发现:“In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur — with feathers.”,这直接说明部分恐龙长有羽毛。
【33题详解】
第三段说明核心观点:“They also help us understand that life on Earth has always changed.”,并以北欧琥珀里现已绝迹的远古花朵为例,以此证明物种一直在发生变化。
【34题详解】
第四段对比新旧观点:“Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the Earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs”,非洲琥珀中的蚂蚁推翻旧认知,证明远古南半球也存在蚂蚁。
【35题详解】
全文围绕琥珀开展古生物科普,讲解其考古研究意义,属于自然科学科普内容,因此文章最可能出自介绍自然的科学杂志。

Lily is a 14-year-old girl with a strong love for art. She spends all her free time finding materials nearby and using them to create art.
One day she watched a video about an amazing chocolate sculpture. The chocolate was made into art by the skilled artist’s hands. Lily was so amazed that she wanted to make one by herself.
However, things didn’t go well. To start with, chocolate broke easily when she made it into a sculpture. But Lily didn’t give up. After many tries, she learned to be careful with her tools. Another problem was that the chocolate started to melt (融化) before she could finish her work. She tried different ways, like working under the air conditioner, but it wasn’t very helpful.
Thankfully, her friend Amy lent her a hand. Together, they researched and watched videos of chocolate artists working. By following them and keeping practising, her skills improved. Melting was no longer a problem. Finally, she created a chocolate sculpture with a lifelike quality.
She couldn’t wait to show her work to her family and friends. They were all impressed. This sculpture was also enjoyed as a delicious treat. Since then, Lily has continued to make wonderful chocolate sculptures. As she explores her love for art, her creations bring joy to others too.

The captain got out of his spaceship—he felt safer in it, although more and more uncomfortable. The air was fresh on this planet but he didn’t take off his spacesuit. He saw huge green leaves everywhere. He climbed to the top of one of them so that he could look down and check everything carefully.

My name is Zhang Yufu. I have been driving trucks (卡车) in Yunnan for 15 years. But nothing prepared me for the phone call on August 3rd, 2021. “We need you to guide some elephants,” the voice said. “Elephants? In my truck?” With questions in my mind, I set off for Yuanjiang.
In Yuanjiang area, I saw other truck drivers. None of us had ever seen wild elephants. We were given a simple but alarming task: close off all roads except the bridge.
For five days, we lived in our trucks. Every night, we heard stories about the elephants. The group was led by an adult female, with males guarding them. They lived in Xishuangbanna. Dry weather had made them move north to find a better place to live. Now the rainy season came. It was time for them to return. Elephants are very smart. Before moving, they chose routes with fewer people to protect their babies.
But the Yuanjiang River was a big problem. Heavy rain raised the water level, and the group couldn’t cross the river with two of the baby elephants. So the experts decided to help. They planned to block other roads with our trucks, leave corn along the way and guide the elephants to cross only the Yuanjiang Bridge.
At 7:30 p.m. on August 8, my radio rang, “They are coming. Stay in your trucks. No lights! No noise!”
My heart beat fast. Fourteen huge shadows moved like slow, gray hills. The leader stopped at the bridge. She raised her trunk and sniffed the air. For a long minute, she didn’t move. We all held our breath.
Then, slowly, she stepped onto the bridge. One by one, the others followed. The babies stayed in the middle, protected by all adults on all sides. The 40 minutes’ crossing seemed like a lifetime. When the last elephant disappeared into the forest, everyone cheered.
Now whenever I cross the Yuanjiang Bridge, a picture of the mother elephant stepping on the bridge always appears in my mind. It reminds me that we have one shared home.
26. How did Zhang Yufu feel when he got the call?
A. He was joyful to drive trucks. B. He was surprised to see wild animals.
C. He was afraid of not finishing the task. D. He was confused about working for animals.
27. Why were the elephants guided to cross the bridge?
A. Male elephants could protect them well. B. Baby elephants could go home safely.
C. They could collect more food on the way. D. This was the nearest route to travel back.
28. What can we know about the elephants?
A. They are well-organized. B. They are born to swim.
C. They enjoy dry weather. D. They are close to humans.
29. What does the underlined word “They” refer to?
A. The drivers. B. The elephants. C. The experts. D. The trucks.
30. What is the theme of the story?
A. Wild elephants are smarter to guide. B. Humans and animals can live in peace.
C. Animals are humans’ great helpers. D. Wild animals belong to nature.
(C)
Imagine a dinosaur in an ancient forest. It is running around, looking for its next meal. With an angry cry, it opens its mouth, raises its beautiful feather-covered arms, and...
Wait, feathers on a dinosaur? For hundreds of years, people believed that dinosaurs looked like huge lizards. Just look at all those dinosaurs in books, films and TV shows! However, thanks to a piece of amber (琥珀), scientists now know that this idea is wrong. In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur — with feathers.
These beautiful golden stones quietly keep pieces of the past. They can tell us whether dinosaurs had feathers, but that’s not all. They also help us understand that life on Earth has always changed. A piece of amber from Northern Europe, for example, holds a flower. This species no longer grows in this area. But the find proves (证明) that it did 35 million years ago. In the future, amber may also help us discover whether other species have changed over time.
Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered. In a piece of amber from Africa, scientists found 13 ants. Research shows that they are a completely new species. Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the Earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants. Who knows whether this piece of amber will tell us more secrets?
As a window on the past, amber has been much studied. However, it’s still not fully understood. We should put more effort into research. Then we can use this key to unlock more secrets of nature.
31. Why is a dinosaur mentioned at the beginning?
A. To record a natural scene. B. To introduce its behaviors.
C. To raise readers’ interest. D. To disagree on an old idea.
32. What can we learn about dinosaurs from the amber?
A. They were hunting animals. B. They looked like lizards.
C. Some were popular. D. Some had feathers.
33. Why is the amber from Northern Europe mentioned?
A. To describe amber as beautiful stones. B. To prove species have always changed.
C. To explain the Earth has a long history. D. To introduce a new species of rare flowers.
34. What new belief does the amber from Africa support?
A. There are still unknown species. B. 13 new species of ants show up.
C. Ants come from the northern Earth. D. There were ants in the southern Earth.
35. Where can we find this passage?
A. In a science magazine about nature. B. In a news report on amber exhibitions.
C. In a sci-fi book about time travelling. D. In an art poster of beautiful stones.
