This was his way of showing how much he cared ____8____ me. I ate so much because I was too polite to refuse! He ____9____ me if I could eat so much.

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 8. A 9. D 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,来自英国的Jeff讲述自己在中国生活十多年,对比中英礼仪三方面的差异:称呼礼仪、接受夸赞的习惯、聚餐待客习俗,最后给出入乡随俗的感悟。
【1题详解】
句意:现在我已经在这里生活十多年了。
后文“for more than ten years”是现在完成时标志性持续时长状语,主语I后用助动词have,have lived构成现在完成时,匹配持续居住的语境;live是一般现在时、was living是过去进行时,均不能搭配时间段;has lived用于单数第三人称主语,不符合本句主语I,均不符合文意。
【2题详解】
句意:所以我能说清英国礼仪和中国礼仪之间一些有趣的差异。
全文分段列举中英礼仪不同之处,some后接可数名词复数differences;decisions/decision意为“决定”,和文章礼仪对比主题无关;difference为单数,不能用some修饰;decisions“决定”;decision“决定”;difference(单数)均不符合文意。
【3题详解】
句意:中国人有独有的方式表达礼貌与对他人的尊重。
结合前后文,本段介绍中国人表达礼貌的特有方式,固定搭配one’s way to do sth. 表示“做某事的方式”,不定式to show用来后置修饰way;shut含义为“关闭”,和“礼貌、尊重”的上下文主题无关;动词原形show、shut不能作后置定语修饰名词way,均不符合文意。
【4题详解】
句意:例如,他们在一种正式场合会用“您”称呼他人。
situation是可数名词单数,formal辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a表泛指“某一种”;零冠词、an用于元音开头单词前、the表特指均不符合;/(零冠词);an(元音开头名词前);the(特指)均不符合文意。
【5题详解】
句意:如果有人夸我中文说得好,我会很开心。
后文对比自己被夸奖、中国朋友被夸奖两种不同反应,if引导条件状语从句表“如果”;so that表目的“以便”;although“虽然”表让步;unless“除非”逻辑不符;So that“以便”;Although“虽然”;Unless“除非”均不符合文意。
【6题详解】
句意:他们太过谦虚,不会坦然接受夸奖。
主语They是复数,对应be动词用are;am主语只能为I;is用于单数主语;be原形不能直接跟主语;am(主语I);is(单数主语);be(原形)均不符合文意。
【7题详解】
句意:有一天,我的一位主人邀请我共进晚餐。
空后有名词host,需形容词性物主代词my修饰;me宾格、mine名词性物主代词、myself反身代词后不能直接接名词;me“我(宾格)”;mine“我的(名词性物主代词)”;myself“我自己”均不符合文意。
【8题详解】
句意:他不停往我盘子里夹菜,这是他关心我的方式。
联系前文主人不断给作者夹菜的待客细节,此处想表达主人对作者的关爱,固定短语care about sb. 表示关心某人,贴合本段餐桌礼仪的语境;介词by、with、in不能和care搭配表达关怀他人的含义,均不符合文意。
【9题详解】
句意:他根本没问我能不能吃下这么多。
结合前文“one day”、“kept putting food”可知这段待客往事发生在过去,全文故事使用一般过去时,一般过去时否定结构为didn’t + 动词原形;not asks时态语法均错误;not asked缺少助动词无法构成过去否定句;doesn’t ask是一般现在时,和故事过去的时间背景冲突,均不符合文意。
【10题详解】
句意:一开始适应这些不同的习俗可能会很难。
前文完整介绍了中英礼仪多处不一样的地方,本句总结适应各类文化差异并不容易,固定句型It is hard to do sth. 意为做某事很困难;safe意为安全的,语义和全文无关;safely是副词,不能放在be动词后作表语;hardly是副词,含义为几乎不,均不符合文意。
第二节:阅读下面短文,理解大意,然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案,使短文连贯完整。
What comes first in students’ lives? For a long time, it was high scores. However, China is now moving from “scores first” to “ ____11____ first”

【答案】11. B 12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D 16. B 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍我国教育理念从“分数至上”转变为“健康优先”,从校园体育场地建设、保障学生休息、防控近视、关注心理健康四个方面,讲述各地学校保障学生身心健康的多项举措。
【11题详解】
句意:然而,中国正从“分数优先”转向“健康优先”。
后文第二段首句点明全国学校落实“健康第一”理念,上下文呼应主题词health;society“社会”;hero“英雄”;talent“天赋”均不符合文意。
【12题详解】
句意:在南昌,一所小学把屋顶改造成了“空中运动场”。
前文交代各地学校落实健康第一,后文提到学生可以在此开展各类运动,固定搭配turn…into…意为“把……改造为……”,符合改造屋顶用作运动场地的前后文语境;hid“隐藏”;shook“摇晃”;proved“证明”均不符合文意。
【13题详解】
句意:学生们可以在那里进行、享受多种体育运动。
前文提到空中运动场,学生能在此开展运动,enjoy表示“享受、参与”贴合场景;advise“建议”;repeat“重复”;beat“打败”均不符合文意。
【14题详解】
句意:在北京,所有中小学都开展体育活动,并计划今年举办40万场体育赛事。
后半句“sports matches体育赛事”给出明确线索,全文核心围绕学生健康、运动展开;music“音乐”;reading“阅读”;painting“绘画”均不符合文意。
【15题详解】
句意:让学生得到充足的休息也十分重要。
本段后文讲述学校取消早读、推迟到校时间,目的就是给学生更多睡眠和用餐时长,get enough rest意为“获得充足休息”,贴合本段保障学生休息的前后文内容;single“单一的”;worst“最差的”;least“最少的”均不符合文意。
【16题详解】
句意:成都一所中学取消了早读。
后文学生不用7:50前到校,说明早读被取消停止;tested“测试”;allowed“允许”;returned“返回”均不符合文意。
【17题详解】
句意:这给了他们更多时间睡觉、吃早餐。
取消早读后学生拥有更多可支配的时间休息吃饭,time贴合语境;air“空气”;food“食物”;risk“风险”均不符合文意。
【18题详解】
句意:近视是另一个普遍存在的问题。
全文围绕学生健康展开,近视是青少年常见健康难题;level“水平”;degree“程度”;doubt“怀疑”均不符合文意。
【19题详解】
句意:他们在督查地方政府相关工作中发挥作用。
前文提到相关部门高度重视学生视力与身体健康,固定搭配play a role in意为“在……方面发挥作用”,对应前文重视学生健康、监督地方落实政策的前后文逻辑;manner“方式”;show“演出”;game“游戏”均不符合文意。
【20题详解】
句意:这些有意义的课程将有助于改善学生的心理健康。
前文列举运动、艺术、户外、阅读等有益身心的项目,meaningful“有意义的”贴合课程价值;sudden“突然的”;strict“严格的”;negative“消极的”均不符合文意。
Ⅳ.阅读理解(共15小题,计20分)

The British have their own customs. ____21____ Here are some important ones.
The British love to talk about the weather. But why do they like to talk about it? ____22____ One is that in Britain the weather changes very often. The other is that talking about the weather is a way of being friendly.

【解析】
【导语】本文围绕英国本土独特的风俗习惯展开,依次介绍聊天气、女士优先、排队、不讨价还价、不问女性年龄几项当地重要礼仪。
【21题详解】
根据“The British have their own customs.”以及后文“Here are some important ones.”可知,前文引出英国人拥有专属习俗,后文开始逐条列举各类习俗,E选项“他们的传统和习惯与中国人的大不相同”承接上文,顺畅过渡到下文习俗介绍。
【22题详解】
根据前文“But why do they like to talk about it?”以及后文“One is that…The other is that…”可知,后文分两点解释英国人爱聊天气的缘由,A选项“可能有两个原因”总起本段,引出下文两条理由。
【23题详解】
根据主题句“Ladies’ first”以及后文“This can protect her from cars, help her get on and get off the bus and do many other things for her.”可知,本段围绕“女士优先”展开,后文讲述优待女性的具体行为,B选项“让女士先行是有礼貌的”契合本段中心,衔接上下文。
【24题详解】
根据后文“The British people do not welcome bargaining, and sometimes they consider it losing face.”可知,本段核心为英国不认可讨价还价,D选项“在英国购物时不要讨价还价”总领本段,和后文解释形成呼应。
【25题详解】
根据前文“In England, you should never ask a woman her age.”可知,前文提出不要询问女性年龄的规矩,C选项“所有女性都认为这是不礼貌的”补充说明这条规矩背后的原因,贴合语境。

B
“Jenny, are you OK?” Mrs. Brown asked.
“I…I study every night, but I’m not improving…” Jenny cried sadly, and big tears rolled down her cheeks (脸颊).
① A week later, in the garden, Jenny was surprised: “Are they the sunflowers?” “Of course, growth happens even when we can’t see it,” Mrs. Brown answered. “All the seeds need to do is to enjoy the sunshine and take in water.”
② Mrs. Brown worried about the little girl—she was too stressed out. She took Jenny to an old garden. It was covered with dead leaves. “Could you help me make it colorful again?” said Mrs. Brown. She handed her some sunflower seeds (种子).
③ The next two days, Jenny went to see the seeds grow. However, she was disappointed. “Don’t worry. See them a few days later,” smiled Mrs. Brown.
④ Jenny nodded. Then she dug in the garden and placed seeds from Mrs. Brown into the soil. Tired but relaxed, Jenny seemed to feel better.
All of a sudden, Jenny understood the secret of growth. From that day on, she didn’t worry too much but just tried to work hard. Now she is good at her lessons.
In the garden, butterflies are flying around yellow flowers. Jenny smiled and hung a wooden sign: “Growth in Soil.” Under her name, she drew a sunflower.
29. At the beginning of the story, Jenny cried because ______.
A. Mrs. Brown was too strict
B. she had too much homework
C. she studied without getting better
D. Mrs. Brown cared about her very much
30. Some paragraphs of the passage are in a mess (杂乱无章的). Put them in the right order.
A. ②④③① B. ①②④③ C. ③②④① D. ④①②③
31. The sunflower Jenny drew on the sign is a symbol of ______.
A. surprise B. friendship C. beauty D. growth
【答案】29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Jenny因学习没有进步而苦恼,布朗夫人通过带她种向日葵的方式,让她明白了成长需要时间,最终Jenny不再过度焦虑,努力后取得了进步的故事。
【29题详解】
第二段 Jenny说的话“I…I study every night, but I’m not improving…”表明,Jenny哭泣是因为她虽然努力学习但成绩没有提高。
【30题详解】
根据故事发展的逻辑顺序:首先是布朗夫人担心Jenny,因此带她去花园并给她一些向日葵种子(②);接着Jenny点头同意并种下种子(④);然后两天后去看种子生长情况但感到失望(③);最后过了一周看到向日葵长大,由此明白了道理(①)。因此正确顺序为②④③①。
【31题详解】
倒数第二段“All of a sudden, Jenny understood the secret of growth. ”以及木牌上写的“Growth in Soil.”表明,Jenny画的向日葵象征着成长。
C
On a cold night, a little swallow flies over the city. He is very tired and wants to sleep in the city. He sees the Statue of the Happy Prince. He flies down and gets ready to sleep at the feet of the Happy Prince.
The Statue of the Happy Prince
Just when he puts his head down, he feels some water on him. He thinks it is strange because it is not raining. Then he looks up. Suddenly, he sees tears on the Prince’s face. He is very surprised.
“Why are you crying?” asks the swallow.
“On a small street, there is an old house. From a window, I see a woman sitting at a table. She is making new clothes for a rich woman. On the bed, her little boy is ill. He wants milk, but his mother only has water to give him. The boy cries loudly. How poor they are! Little swallow, can you take the red jewel (珠宝) from my sword to them?” says the Prince.
The swallow takes the jewel and flies away. He flies into the woman’s room and puts it near the boy’s bed.
After he flies back, he tells the Prince what he does. “It’s strange,” he says. “It is very cold, but I feel warm now.”
“That is because you help people,” says the Prince.
The little swallow thinks about the Prince’s words, and then he falls asleep.
— Taken from The Happy Prince
32. Why does the swallow feel strange at first?
A. Because it is raining outside.
B. Because he cannot find a place to sleep.
C. Because the Prince asks him to take a jewel.
D. Because he feels water on him but it is not raining.
33. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”
A. oranges and water B. the boy and his mother
C. the jewel and the sword D. the woman’s new clothes
34. How do the swallow’s feelings change in the story?
A. Tired → surprised → warm. B. Sad → surprised → cold.
C. Tired → warm → sad. D. Sad → warm → tired.
35. What does the writer want to teach us through the story?
A. Birds are the best animals to send gifts.
B. It is important to sleep at the feet of a statue.
C. We should always ask for help when we are tired.
D. Kindness and helping others make the world better.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了快乐王子这个童话故事。
【32题详解】
第二段明确写道:“He feels some water on him. He thinks it is strange because it is not raining.” 即燕子感到有水落在身上,但并没有下雨,所以他觉得奇怪。A选项“因为外面在下雨”与原文“not raining”矛盾;B选项“因为找不到睡觉的地方”和C选项“因为王子让他拿珠宝”都不是燕子一开始感到奇怪的原因。
【33题详解】
第四段王子说:“…can you take the red jewel from my sword to them?”前文第三段提到:“On a small street, there is an old house. From a window, I see a woman sitting... her little boy is ill... How poor they are!”,“they”指代那位母亲和她的儿子,因此“them”同样指这母子二人。
【34题详解】
文章开头燕子“非常疲倦,想睡觉”(tired);看到王子脸上的泪水时“非常惊讶”(surprised);帮助王子送珠宝后,虽然天气很冷,但他说“我感觉到温暖”(warm)。因此情感变化为“tired → surprised → warm”。B选项中的“cold”与故事结尾燕子感到温暖相反;C和D选项中的“sad”在文中没有体现。
【35题详解】
文章通过燕子帮助王子送宝石帮助穷苦母子的故事,传达了善良和帮助他人的主题。燕子帮助别人后,虽然天气冷,但内心感到温暖,王子说“那是因为你帮助了别人”。因此作者想告诉我们的道理是“善良和帮助他人让世界变得更美好”。A选项“鸟是送礼物最好的动物”不是文章主旨;B选项“在雕像脚下睡觉很重要”和C选项“累了应该寻求帮助”都不是文章要传达的核心信息。
Ⅴ.完成句子:根据所给汉语意思,用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。(共5小题,计10分)
36. 最近,我看了一部叫《主角》的电视剧。
________, I have watched the TV play called Leading Role.
【答案】Recently
【解析】
【详解】原句中“最近”是关键内容,recently为副词,意为“最近、近来”,常与现在完成时搭配使用,在句中作时间状语;放在句首时首字母需大写,与句子的现在完成时结构have watched相契合,符合句子结构和句意,故填Recently。
37. 它讲述了一个出生在陕西南部的女孩的故事。
It tells the story of a girl born in the ________ part of Shaanxi Province.
【答案】southern
【解析】
【详解】原句中“南部的”是关键词,此处修饰名词part,需填入形容词southern,意为“南部的”。
38. 她学习秦腔时遇到了很多困难,但她设法克服了它们。
She met many difficulties while learning Qinqiang Opera, but she managed to ________ them.
【答案】get over
【解析】
【详解】原句中“克服”是核心含义,get over为固定动词短语,意为“克服(困难、障碍等)”;固定搭配manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”,不定式to后面必须使用动词原形,因此填动词短语原形get over,get over them对应原文“克服了它们(诸多困难)”,贴合句意与语法规则。
39. 历经多年练习,她的付出最终带来了成功。
After many years of practice, her hard work finally brought her ________.
【答案】success
【解析】
【详解】原句中“成功”是关键词,谓语动词brought是bring的过去式,常用结构为“bring sb. sth.”。her是间接宾语,空格处应填名词作直接宾语。表示“成功”的英文单词是success,在此处泛指成功,作为不可数名词使用,故填success。
40. 多亏了这部电视剧,我学到了不少关于秦腔的知识。
Thanks to the show, I have gained ____________________ about Qinqiang Opera.
【答案】plenty of knowledge##a lot of knowledge##lots of knowledge##much knowledge
【解析】
【详解】结合汉语提示可知“不少知识”是关键词。“知识”对应的英文单词是knowledge,不可数名词;“不少”意为“许多”,修饰不可数名词常用plenty of/a lot of/lots of/much。
Ⅵ.短文填空:(共10小题,计10分)
用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空,使短文完整正确。(每个单词限用一次,每空限填一个单词。)

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,记叙作者找到新工作后,华人老板带他吃中餐庆祝,老板细心照顾不会用筷子的他,这件事让作者懂得要尊重、理解不同文化。
【41题详解】
句意:我的老板,一位中国男士,请我出去吃午饭来庆祝我的新工作。不定式to后需用动词原形作目的状语,结合“新工作”的场景,celebrate意为“庆祝”,符合语境。
【42题详解】
句意:我有点紧张,因为我知道我们会用筷子,而我实在掌握不好。动词use后接名词作宾语,全文围绕中餐餐具展开,chopsticks表示“筷子”,日常使用常用复数形式。
【43题详解】
句意:那天晚上,当我躺在床上时,我一直在想象我要怎么拿筷子。while引导过去进行时,结构为was + 动词现在分词,lie表示“躺”,其现在分词形式是lying。
【44题详解】
句意:在那里,我的老板写下点餐单,用中文和服务员交谈。固定搭配in + 语言表示“使用某种语言”,将名词China变形为Chinese,含义为“中文、汉语”。
【45题详解】
句意:就在那一刻,我的心跳得很快,但随后我注意到一件奇怪的事。全文主体时态为一般过去时,此处缺少谓语动词,notice意为“注意到”,过去式为noticed。
【46题详解】
句意:我的老板知道我用筷子会有困难,所以他想让我免于尴尬。固定短语have trouble with sth.,表示“做某事存在困难”,此处直接填名词trouble。
【47题详解】
句意:我无法相信他是如此善良、乐于助人。情态动词couldn’t后接动词原形,believe意为“相信”,贴合作者惊讶的心情。
【48题详解】
句意:我想学习如何正确用筷子吃中餐。此处用来修饰动词eat,需要副词,形容词proper变为副词properly,意为“正确地、得体地”。
【49题详解】
句意:我的手指很笨拙,但我尽了自己最大的努力用筷子吃饭。固定搭配try one’s best,意为“尽某人最大努力”,good的最高级形式为best。
【50题详解】
句意:这顿午餐不只是一场入职庆祝,也是一节关于文化尊重与理解的宝贵课程。修饰名词lesson需用形容词,名词value变形为形容词valuable,意为“珍贵的、有价值的”。
Ⅶ.任务型阅读:(共5小题,计10分)
阅读下面的语篇材料,根据所读内容,完成下列各题。
People often think grandmas only care about family and housework. However, some grandmas have exciting hobbies in life. “Grandma Liu” from Chengdu is the best example of this. She is almost 70 years old, but she loves riding a skateboard at a local park.
Her hobby started in February 2022. At first, she just went with her daughter to buy a skateboard. Then she became very interested in the sport. Even though most old ladies wouldn’t try it, she decided to give it a shot.
At first, Grandma Liu often lost her balance and fell. But that didn’t stop her. She kept practicing every day. Slowly, she got better and better. Now she can ride very well and even has her own cool style. She always wears protective gear (防护装备). That is because falling at her age could cause more harm than it would to a young skater.
Grandma Liu is now a star on Chinese social media. Many people like her because she is brave and funny. But the best part for her is spending time with her daughter. Skateboarding together has made their relationship stronger. Her story proves that age doesn’t stop curiosity or passion (热情). “Don’t let others decide who you are. Be a cool granny!” she says. “Grannies can be both sweet and cool!”
51. When did Grandma Liu start her hobby?
She started it in _____________________________________________________________________.
52. What difficulty did Grandma Liu have when she first started skateboarding?
She often _____________________________________________________________________.
53. Why do many people like Grandma Liu on social media?
Because she is _____________________________________________________________________.
54. Which word has the same meaning as “try” in the passage?
It’s “_____________________________________________________________________”
55. What can we learn from Grandma Liu’s story?
We can learn that _____________________________________________________________________.
【答案】51. February 2022
52. lost her balance and fell
53. brave and funny
54. shot 55. age doesn’t stop curiosity or passion/we should be brave to try new things no matter how old we are/…(答案不唯一,符合题意即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了快70岁的成都“刘奶奶”热爱滑滑板的故事,她的经历证明了年龄并不能阻止人们的好奇心和热情。
【51题详解】
第二段提到刘奶奶开始她的爱好的时间为“in February 2022”。因此答案是原文直接信息。
【52题详解】
第三段提到:“At first, Grandma Liu often lost her balance and fell. ”,表明刘奶奶刚开始滑滑板时经常失去平衡并摔倒。
【53题详解】
第四段提到很多人喜欢社交媒体上的刘奶奶的原因是“because she is brave and funny”。因此答案是原文直接信息。
【54题详解】
第二段提到:“Even though most old ladies wouldn’t try it, she decided to give it a shot.”,短语“give it a shot”意为“试一试”,其中“shot”与“try”意思相同。
【55题详解】
第四段提到:“Her story proves that age doesn’t stop curiosity or passion (热情).”,表明我们能从刘奶奶的故事中学到年龄并不能阻止好奇心或热情。开放性问题,答案不唯一,合理即可。

Her hobby started in February 2022. At first, she just went with her daughter to buy a skateboard. Then she became very interested in the sport. Even though most old ladies wouldn’t try it, she decided to give it a shot.
At first, Grandma Liu often lost her balance and fell. But that didn’t stop her. She kept practicing every day. Slowly, she got better and better. Now she can ride very well and even has her own cool style. She always wears protective gear (防护装备). That is because falling at her age could cause more harm than it would to a young skater.
Grandma Liu is now a star on Chinese social media. Many people like her because she is brave and funny. But the best part for her is spending time with her daughter. Skateboarding together has made their relationship stronger. Her story proves that age doesn’t stop curiosity or passion (热情). “Don’t let others decide who you are.
