This low-cost movie had no famous actors or amazing special effects. However, after it came out, its box office was over 20 million yuan on May 1. Many viewers were moved to tears and called it the most touching movie of the holiday. The movie tells a story about an old grandmother, Ye Shurou. She spends most of her life waiting for qiaopi(侨批), special letters with money inside from her husband in Southeast Asia. Nearly 90% of the movie’s stories come from real life. There is a surprising twist in the movie.When Ye Shurou’s grandson looks for his grandfather in Thailand, he finds out the truth. Most of the letters are not written by his grandfather, but by a kind woman, Xie Nanzhi. To protect Ye Shurou from sadness, Xie secretly writes letters, pretending to be her husband for 20 years. The film is moving because it uses local dialect(方言) and real local customs. What’s more, most actors are unknown people from the local area. As the last work of director Lan Hongchun’s movie series(系列), this movie is not only a love letter to the grandmother, but also one to all overseas Chinese. It shows the good qualities of Chinese people and touches every viewer’s heart. 23. What great success did the movie Dear You achieve during the May Day holiday? A. It won a big international film prize. B. Its box office reached over 20 million yuan on May Day. C. It was the only movie shown during the holiday. 24. What does the underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 发展 B. 反转 C. 提高 25. Why is the movie touching? A. Because it uses exciting and loud special effects. B. Because it mainly talks about busy modern city life. C. Because it uses real local language, customs and common actors to show real life. 26. What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A. All the stories of the movie come from real life. B. Xie Nanzhi wanted to tell Ye Shurou the truth. C. The director Lan Hongchun has made a series of movies before this one. 【答案】23. B 24. B 25. C 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍电影Dear You，讲述影片票房成果、故事情节以及电影动人的原因和深层意义。 【23题详解】 根据第一段“However, after it came out, its box office was over 20 million yuan on May 1.”，可知这部电影在5月1日票房突破2000万元。 【24题详解】 依据第二段“When Ye Shurou’s grandson looks for his grandfather in Thailand, he finds out the truth. Most of the letters are not written by his grandfather, but a kind woman, Xie Nanzhi.”，原本奶奶以为信件是丈夫写的，实际却是一位好心女士代写，剧情出现反转，由此判断twist意思是反转。 【25题详解】 根据第三段“The film is moving because it uses local dialect and real local customs. What’s more, most actors are unknown people from the local area.”，这部电影感人是因为它运用本土方言、真实风俗以及普通演员来展现真实生活。 【26题详解】 根据第三段“As the last work of director Lan Hongchun’s movie series”，这是蓝鸿春导演系列作品的收官之作，由此推断在此之前他已经拍摄过系列影片。 C A young Chinese football team called Chinese Football Boy 2014 Team (U12) won the championship (冠军) at Italy’s Sigismondi Cup from May 30 to June 2, 2026. The event brought together 48 top youth teams from around the world, including some famous European clubs like Everton, Fiorentina, and Copenhagen. Facing such strong teams, the Chinese team was not nervous at all and showed great team spirit. The Chinese team played seven games in group and knockout stages (淘汰赛阶段) and won all of them. The final was played on a rainy day against Everton’s team. The cold weather and wet field did not stop them from playing well. After regular time, the score was 1-1. The game went to a penalty shootout (点球大战). In Chinese football history, penalty shootouts have often been a painful memory. But this time was different. The young goalkeeper saved two shots in a row, and then a player from Jiangsu named “Kong Fange” stepped up confidently and scored the winning penalty. In the end, the Chinese players won the penalty shootout 5-4. Over the seven matches, the team scored 21 goals and only let in 2 goals. Their excellent skills surprised everyone at the match. News of their success was shared quickly online and won warm praise from Chinese fans. Many people left encouraging messages online and spoke highly of these young players. This trip to Europe proved that young Chinese footballers can compete (竞争) with top European teams. It also encourages more children to follow their love for football and keep working hard for their dreams. As one young player put it after the match, “No one will look down on China anymore, because we are here.” What was once a hopeful wish has become true. When the youth are strong, the nation is strong. 27. How long did the Sigismondi Cup last? A. Three days. B. Four days. C. Seven days. 28. How many games did the young Chinese team win in total? A. 48. B. 5. C. 7. 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Chinese team lost one game in the competition. B. The team won the final through a penalty shootout. C. European teams scored more goals in the matches. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Young Football Team’s Big Success B. A Wonderful Football Match C. Amazing Young Football Players 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述中国2014年龄段少年足球队在国际赛事中击败欧洲强队，通过点球大战夺冠的过程，以及这一胜利对中国足球的意义。 【27题详解】 第一段提到比赛时间“from May 30 to June 2, 2026”，共4天（5.30、5.31、6.1、6.2）。 【28题详解】 第二段明确“The Chinese team played seven games...won all of them”，共赢7场比赛。 【29题详解】 第二段指出“After regular time, the score was 1-1. The game went to a penalty shootout...the Chinese players won the penalty shootout 5-4”，说明决赛通过点球大战获胜。 【30题详解】 本文核心是中国少年足球队的夺冠成就，标题“Chinese Young Football Team’s Big Success”最能概括主旨。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Volunteer work can shape teenagers’ minds and teach them social-related life lessons. Many students wonder how to keep long-term volunteer habits instead of giving up after one-time service. ____31____ Set clear small goals before starting volunteer work.

Working alone often makes people tired easily after several weeks. When you have partners, you can encourage each other during challenging moments. ____33____ ____34____ You may write short diaries about your service feelings. After several months, looking back at your notes lets you notice your progress. These memories remind you why you began volunteering at first. Avoid over-arranging (过度安排) volunteer tasks. Never fill your whole weekend with volunteer jobs. Too heavy service tasks will take up homework and rest time.

A 54. actively 55. difference 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了重庆遭遇暴雨引发洪水后，志愿者和当地政府积极开展救援和安置灾民的工作。 【46题详解】 句意：当晚上11点暴风雨爆发时，大多数人正待在家里。when引导的时间状语从句表示过去某个时间点，主句表示在过去某个时间点正在发生的动作，应用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+动词的现在分词”；主语most people为复数，be动词用were。应填were staying。 【47题详解】 句意：很快，街道和道路上充满了洪水。此处考查固定搭配be filled with...，意为“充满……”。应填with。 【48题详解】 句意：热心的志愿者们迅速到达，并立刻开始了救援工作。此处修饰名词work，应用名词rescue作定语，构成固定搭配rescue work，意为“救援工作”。 【49题详解】 句意：然而，志愿者的温暖和善良给他们带来了希望和勇气。前句提到村民失去家园感到悲伤，后句提到志愿者给他们带来希望，前后两句为逻辑上的转折关系，且设空处后有逗号隔开，应用副词however，意为“然而”，位于句首需大写首字母。 【50题详解】 句意：到目前为止，当地政府已经为无家可归的人搭建了许多临时房屋。根据句首的时间状语“So far”可知，句子应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has+动词的过去分词”；主语“the local government”视为一个整体，助动词用has，set的过去分词仍为set。应填has set。 【51题详解】 句意：政府也为他们准备了足够的食物和水。空处位于介词for之后，应用人称代词的宾格形式作宾语，they的宾格为them。 【52题详解】 句意：他们的生活条件将在短时间内变得更好。空处前有程度副词much修饰，应使用形容词的比较级形式，good的比较级为better。 【53题详解】 句意：上周末，一名十几岁的志愿者也加入了这项工作。此处泛指“一名”十几岁的志愿者，且teenage以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a，位于句首需大写首字母。 【54题详解】 句意：如今，越来越多的学生积极加入志愿者团体去帮助他人。空处修饰动词join，应用副词形式作状语，active的副词为actively。 【55题详解】 句意：他们的善良能对人们的生活产生很大的影响。此处考查固定搭配make a difference to...，意为“对……产生影响/起作用”，设空处前有不定冠词a和形容词big修饰，应用名词单数形式，different的名词为difference。 第四部分 读写综合(共两节，满分25分) 第一节 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Cultural differences of “old” I’m Jack. When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. Once, when I was serving food to the Smiths, Mrs. Smith asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I answered “I made sure you got your food quickly because I always respect the elderly.” As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager took me aside and told me how sensitive (敏感的) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to Mrs. Smith. After Mrs. Smith heard my reason, she laughed and was no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old and they respect the elderly most. Young people always hope to have more knowledge and experience just as the elderly do. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire (退休) or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old. Exercising, jogging, and putting on makeup are common ways for them to look young. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words. And I will learn more about cultural differences to avoid making mistakes when communicating with people in different countries. 56. What did Jack’s family bring to America? ________________________________________ 57. Was Mrs. Smith pleased with what Jack said to her at first? ________________________________________ 58. What do young people in China think of the elderly? ________________________________________ 59. How do the Americans usually make themselves look young? ________________________________________ 60. Why will Jack learn more about cultural differences? ________________________________________ 第二节 61. 根据要求完成短文写作。 通过读 Jack 的故事我们认识到文化差异对人们交流的影响。学校英文报正在开展以“Different Countries, Different Cultures”为题的征文活动。请根据以下提示谈谈中国与其他国家的文化差异以及我们为什么要了解文化差异，写一篇英语短文投稿。 要求： (1)短文必须包含所有提示信息，并适当发挥； (2)词数 80 左右(标题和开头都已给出，不计入总词数)； (3)文中不得出现真实人名和校名。 Different Countries, Different Cultures Different countries have different cultures, which makes our world colourful. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56.

It’s important to learn these differences. They can help us stay polite and avoid mistakes when communicating with foreigners. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自中国的Jack在美国一家中餐厅打工时，因为中美两国对“老”的文化差异而产生了一次尴尬的经历，这让他认识到了解文化差异的重要性。 【56题详解】 根据文章第一段“When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture.”可知，Jack一家去美国不仅带了行李，还带了村里的规矩、习俗和文化。 【57题详解】 根据文章第三段“As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure.”可知，史密斯太太起初对Jack说的话并不满意。 【58题详解】 根据文章第四段“In my village in China, people are proud of being old and they respect the elderly most.

B In April 2026, a special movie called Dear You was on show during the May Day holiday. This low-cost movie had no famous actors or amazing special effects. However, after it came out, its box office was over 20 million yuan on May 1. Many viewers were moved to tears and called it the most touching movie of the holiday. The movie tells a story about an old grandmother, Ye Shurou. She spends most of her life waiting for qiaopi(侨批), special letters with money inside from her husband in Southeast Asia. Nearly 90% of the movie’s stories come from real life. There is a surprising twist in the movie.When Ye Shurou’s grandson looks for his grandfather in Thailand, he finds out the truth. Most of the letters are not written by his grandfather, but by a kind woman, Xie Nanzhi. To protect Ye Shurou from sadness, Xie secretly writes letters, pretending to be her husband for 20 years. The film is moving because it uses local dialect(方言) and real local customs. What’s more, most actors are unknown people from the local area. As the last work of director Lan Hongchun’s movie series(系列), this movie is not only a love letter to the grandmother, but also one to all overseas Chinese. It shows the good qualities of Chinese people and touches every viewer’s heart. 23. What great success did the movie Dear You achieve during the May Day holiday? A. It won a big international film prize. B. Its box office reached over 20 million yuan on May Day. C. It was the only movie shown during the holiday. 24.

Because it mainly talks about busy modern city life. C. Because it uses real local language, customs and common actors to show real life. 26. What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A. All the stories of the movie come from real life. B. Xie Nanzhi wanted to tell Ye Shurou the truth. C. The director Lan Hongchun has made a series of movies before this one. C A young Chinese football team called Chinese Football Boy 2014 Team (U12) won the championship (冠军) at Italy’s Sigismondi Cup from May 30 to June 2, 2026. The event brought together 48 top youth teams from around the world, including some famous European clubs like Everton, Fiorentina, and Copenhagen. Facing such strong teams, the Chinese team was not nervous at all and showed great team spirit. The Chinese team played seven games in group and knockout stages (淘汰赛阶段) and won all of them. The final was played on a rainy day against Everton’s team. The cold weather and wet field did not stop them from playing well. After regular time, the score was 1-1. The game went to a penalty shootout (点球大战). In Chinese football history, penalty shootouts have often been a painful memory. But this time was different. The young goalkeeper saved two shots in a row, and then a player from Jiangsu named “Kong Fange” stepped up confidently and scored the winning penalty. In the end, the Chinese players won the penalty shootout 5-4. Over the seven matches, the team scored 21 goals and only let in 2 goals. Their excellent skills surprised everyone at the match. News of their success was shared quickly online and won warm praise from Chinese fans. Many people left encouraging messages online and spoke highly of these young players. This trip to Europe proved that young Chinese footballers can compete (竞争) with top European teams. It also encourages more children to follow their love for football and keep working hard for their dreams. As one young player put it after the match, “No one will look down on China anymore, because we are here.” What was once a hopeful wish has become true. When the youth are strong, the nation is strong. 27. How long did the Sigismondi Cup last? A. Three days. B. Four days. C. Seven days. 28. How many games did the young Chinese team win in total? A. 48. B. 5. C. 7. 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Chinese team lost one game in the competition. B. The team won the final through a penalty shootout. C. European teams scored more goals in the matches. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Young Football Team’s Big Success B. A Wonderful Football Match C. Amazing Young Football Players 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Volunteer work can shape teenagers’ minds and teach them social-related life lessons.
