It has golden sand and special desert wildlife. You can ride camels, watch amazing sunsets and sleep in desert tents at night. The temperature changes a lot between day and night here.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍四条环球自然观光线路，分别说明撒哈拉沙漠、死海、乞力马扎罗山、大堡礁的地点、行程时长、价格与特色景观，供游客挑选旅行项目。 【1题详解】 文本左侧Sahara Desert板块标注7天团价格$1380，低于1500美元；死海仅5天、乞力马扎罗7天需$2068，均不符合一周1500美元预算，答案为原文价格细节直接筛选。 【2题详解】 死海板块写明“Its water has much salt, so people can float easily without swimming”，对应B选项表述；A与原文“Climbing to the top is difficult”相悖，C错在大堡礁位于澳大利亚而非约旦，依据原文信息判断正误得出答案。 B Carlos Mendez, 38, grew up in a working-class community in Houston, Texas. “School never felt like it was for me,” he once said. For years, he has had difficulty in reading, being able to read only a few simple words. He worked part-time jobs—building, gardening, food service, but his reading problem always held him back. He depended on audio (音频) apps and asked others to read messages for him, and he often lied about his reading ability to avoid embarrassment. In 2024, after his daughter was born, he decided to change his life. “I want to read her bedtime stories one day,” he told himself. With the help of his wife, Lila, Carlos began learning to read at the age of 36. Every night, they sat together at the kitchen table, starting with simple picture books and slowly moving to children’s chapter (章节) books. “There were nights I wanted to give up,” he said. But he kept going, and after a year, he could read full paragraphs without help. Later, he even started sharing his reading journey on social media, which brought something unexpected. People began to follow his progress, cheering him on as he read more challenging books. “I realized my story might help someone else feel less alone,” he said. Today, Carlos has over 250, 000 followers on TikTok, where he posts live book readings and shares tips for adult learners. Many people say his videos have inspired them to pick up a book again. Now, Carlos lives with his family in Austin, Texas. He reads to his daughter every night and hopes to write a children’s book someday. “I never thought I’d be someone who could help others learn to read,” he said. “This life, this family, this purpose—it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.” 3. What can we know about Carlos’ past? A. He could hardly read. B. He didn’t mind his weakness. C. He read stories to his daughter. 4. What happened after Carlos shared his reading journey online? A. He wrote a book. B. He stopped reading. C. He received support. 5. Which of the following best describes Carlos? A. Shy but polite. B. Caring and brave. C. Kind but strict. 6. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Time waits for no man. B. East or west, home is best. C. It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】3. A 4. C 5. B 6. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述Carlos年少时识字困难，36岁在妻子陪伴下从头学习阅读，后来在网络分享学习经历鼓舞了许多成年学习者，实现自我成长并帮助他人的故事。 【3题详解】 第一段介绍Carlos过去的状况：“For years, he has had difficulty in reading, being able to read only a few simple words.”，由此可知他过去几乎不会阅读。 【4题详解】 第三段讲述Carlos在网上分享阅读经历后的情况：“People began to follow his progress, cheering him on as he read more challenging books.”，能看出他收获了大家的支持与鼓励。 【5题详解】 结合全文内容，第一段提到Carlos为了女儿下定决心改变自己，体现他关爱家人；第二段写到他无数次想放弃却依旧坚持自学阅读，体现他勇敢，因此Caring and brave最能形容Carlos。 【6题详解】 全文围绕Carlos三十六岁才开始学习阅读、最终学有所成并激励他人的故事展开，核心主旨是活到老学到老，对应主旨句It’s never too late to learn。 C Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife. A healthy forest is full of animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter. However, that is a big job. Researchers can make thousands of hours of recordings but then someone has to listen to them all and pick out the different animal and bird calls. What if that someone is an AI? Scientists are using AI technology to help with the task. Through the new Forest Listeners web experiment (实验), scientists want people around the world — including you — to help too. The website gets you to move around a virtual (虚拟的) forest, listening for wildlife. When you find a new species (物种), you listen to its song until you can remember it. The next step is to listen to real forest recordings (there are more than 1.2 million of them), and decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not, or if you’ re not sure. The answers people give are then used to train AI to tell what animals they are by their sounds. Scientists say that the project helps them deal with a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all. “Every sound tagged (贴标签) by a forest listener helps train our AI models,” the scientists said, “This group effort provides us with valuable information, allowing us to find out differences among different animals. These are important signs for a healthy forest.” 7. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1? A. Recording wildlife pictures. B. Comparing different animal calls. C. Checking forest health by listening. 8. What question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A. What can show a rainforest is healthy? B. How do people help in the web experiment? C. Why do the scientists start the web experiment? 9. How does AI help the scientists? A. By dealing with recordings quickly. B. By remembering new species’ sounds. C. By inviting more people to care for forests. 10. What is the main idea of the text? A. Forests are in danger now. B. Helping forests is helping humans. C. Humans together with AI protect forests. 【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍科学家通过聆听野生动物声音来判断雨林健康状况。研究人员会录制大量音频，但人工分析耗时巨大。目前科学家正借助AI技术和网络实验平台，邀请全球公众共同参与：人们在虚拟森林中识别动物叫声，训练AI模型，从而高效分析海量森林录音。 【7题详解】 第一段提到“Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife.”，“that”指代前文提到的“通过聆听判断森林健康状况”这件事，选项C正确。 【8题详解】 第三段介绍了网络实验平台的操作步骤：在虚拟森林中寻找野生动物、记住叫声、在真实录音中判断是否能识别该叫声。所以本段主要回答了“人们如何参与网络实验”，选项B正确。 【9题详解】 第四段提到“scientists say that the project helps them deal with a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all.”，因此AI通过快速处理大量录音来帮助科学家，选项A正确。 【10题详解】 全文介绍人类与AI合作，通过分析森林声音来判断雨林健康状况，所以主旨是“人类与AI共同保护森林”，选项C正确。A“森林现在处于危险中”文中未直接强调；B“帮助森林就是帮助人类”不是文章主旨。 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。 Have you ever felt upset or bored in daily life?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了在日常生活中如何保持积极心态，通过爱自己、关注美好事物、做有趣的事以及坚持自己的梦想来实现快乐和健康。 【11题详解】 第一段提出“Staying positive can bring you happiness and make you healthier”，但未说明具体做法，后文分四个小标题给出建议，因此空格处应引出下文的具体方法。选项C“Here are some simple ways to stay positive”符合上下文逻辑，作为总起句。 【12题详解】 第二段小标题为“Love and accept yourself”，空格后提到“Stop struggling to change who you truly are”和“practice positive self-talk”，说明要接纳自我，因此空格处应强调自信与自爱。选项D“Be confident about yourself and love who you are”与段落主旨一致，且与后文呼应。 【13题详解】 第三段小标题为“Look on bright sides of life”，空格前说“Positive people don’t need expensive things to be happy”，空格后虽未直接给出，但根据段落逻辑应补充积极人士的做法——关注生活中的小事。选项B“So focus on nice little things in your life”既承接前句否定昂贵物品，又点明关注小确幸，符合上下文。 【14题详解】 第四段小标题为“Do fun things to cheer you up”，空格前说“Taking part in different kinds of activities is closely connected with your happiness”，空格后列举“watching films, painting, or enjoying gentle music”和“swimming and hiking”，说明空格处应指出空闲时做放松之事有帮助。选项E“Doing something relaxing when you are free can help a lot”概括了后文具体活动，且与“cheer you up”呼应。 【15题详解】 第五段小标题缺失，空格后提到“Never allow others to set your life goals for you. Stick to your own ideas.”以及“Every small step for your dream is great progress”，全段围绕梦想和目标展开。选项A“Make your own dreams and goals.”直接概括主旨，且与后文具体职业例子（cook， teacher）衔接自然。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, I had an unforgettable experience as an exchange student in the United States.

Though I soon managed to adapt (适应), I still had problems as they used a lot of ____20____. For example, they often say they are“under the weather” when they are ill, which is quite different from its literal (字面的) meaning. Table manners were another big challenge for me to face. I remember one time when Mrs. Hurst ____21____ me with a large, inviting salad. Out of habit, I was about to take a big bite of the lettuce directly, only to find that everyone else was elegantly (优雅地) cutting the leaves into small pieces with their knives and forks. Realizing I behaved ____22____, I felt embarrassed but quickly followed their example. It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable ____23____ for me. I not only understood more about American culture but also learned to think about my own culture.

A. get across B. get along with C. get used to 20. A. idioms B. meanings C. poems 21. A. donated B. compared C. provided 22. A. unsafely B. indirectly C. improperly 23. A. expression B. experience C. regret 24. A. thankful B. hurtful C. successful 25. A. well-known B. warm-hearted C. open-minded 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A 21. C 22. C 23. B 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了作者前往美国做交换生期间，遭遇文化冲击、在寄宿家庭帮助下逐步克服语言障碍与餐桌礼仪难题，经由双向的文化交流完成自我成长，懂得感恩、思维变得更加包容开阔的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：我必须承认起初美国给我带来了强烈的文化冲击。 后文写明很多事物都很陌生、作者一度茫然无措，shock表示“冲击”符合语境；joy“喜悦”、influence“影响”，匹配不了初到异国心生茫然的感受。 【17题详解】 句意：幸运的是，我寄住在心地友善的赫斯特夫妇家中。 前文交代作者陷入陌生迷茫的处境，遇上和善的寄宿家庭是一件好事，Fortunately表示“幸运地”符合语境；Completely“完全地”、Recently“近来”，没法体现处境迎来向好的转机。 【18题详解】 句意：他们时常开导我，让我不再自我怀疑。 作者身处陌生环境容易内心不安、产生自我怀疑，寄宿家庭的鼓励可以打消这份疑虑，doubt表示“怀疑”符合语境；suffer“承受痛苦”、control“掌控”，不符合寄宿家庭安抚情绪、消解内心顾虑的作用。 【19题详解】 句意：可适应美国的日常生活对我而言颇具难度。 下文列举语言、用餐规矩两类需要磨合的生活难题，get used to表示“适应”符合语境；get across“使被理解”、get along with“和睦相处”，不能概括融入当地日常的过程。 【20题详解】 句意：就算我很快做出调整适应环境，当地的各类俗语依旧会给我造成困扰。 后文举例under the weather有别于字面释义，属于英语惯用习语，idioms表示“习语、俗语”符合语境；meanings“词义”、poems“诗歌”，无法指代这类特殊的固定口语表达。 【21题详解】 句意：我还记得有一回赫斯特夫人给我端上了一盘品相诱人的沙拉。 短语provide sb. with sth.是固定搭配，用来表达“为某人提供某物”，provided表示“提供”符合家庭用餐备菜的场景；donated“捐赠”、compared“对比”，不符合寄宿家庭日常招待吃饭的情境。 【22题详解】 句意：意识到自己的用餐举止不合规矩，我心里生出窘迫感，随即参照旁人的方式调整动作。 作者打算直接大口啃生菜，和当地规范的餐桌礼仪相悖，improperly表示“不妥当地”符合语境；unsafely“不安全地”、indirectly“间接地”，无法形容礼仪层面的失误。 【23题详解】 句意：这一年过得充实难忘，是一段十分宝贵的人生经历。 整篇文章复盘交换生的旅居见闻，experience表示“经历”符合语境；expression“表达”、regret“懊悔”，不能概括整段海外旅居的际遇。 【24题详解】 句意：我由衷感激能拥有这次出国交流的机会。 这段旅居见闻让作者收获成长，内心怀揣感恩情绪，thankful表示“感激的”符合语境；hurtful“伤人的”、successful“顺利的”，贴合不了对机遇心怀谢意的心情。 【25题详解】 句意：这段经历实实在在让我变得更优秀、思想更加包容开明。 跨文化接触能打破固有成见，塑造包容的思维，open-minded表示“思想开明的”符合语境；well-known“名气大的”、warm-hearted“热心肠的”，概括不出阅历带来的思维层面转变。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Many people have heard of the classic novel Oliver Twist.

Although##Though 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了经典小说《雾都孤儿》中主人公名字“Oliver Twist”的由来及其蕴含的意义，并指出了这部小说传达的关于善良的主题。 【26题详解】 句意：但是你有没有想过为什么许多读者对狄更斯为这个男孩选的名字感兴趣？分析句子结构可知，此处作表语，主语是many readers，指人，且be interested in（对……感兴趣）为固定搭配，故填interested。 【27题详解】 句意：这里是对他命名想法的一个简短介绍。分析句子结构可知，设空处前有不定冠词a和形容词short修饰，应填名词单数形式，introduce的名词形式为introduction，故填introduction。 【28题详解】 句意：奥利弗是一个传统的英国名字。分析句子结构可知，此处泛指“一个传统的英国名字”，且traditional发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a，故填a。 【29题详解】 句意：作家需要恰当地选择名字来契合角色艰难曲折的生活。分析句子结构可知，设空处修饰动词choose，需用副词形式，proper的副词为properly，故填properly。 【30题详解】 句意：这很符合奥利弗的故事，因为他面临着许多挑战、冒险和困难。分析句子结构可知，and连接并列成分，设空处与前面的复数名词challenges和adventures并列，需用名词复数形式，故填difficulties。 【31题详解】 句意：他在很小的时候就失去了父母，不得不在一个无情的世界里为一席之地而奋斗。分析句子结构可知，设空处修饰名词parents，需用形容词性物主代词，he的形容词性物主代词为his，故填his。 【32题详解】 句意：狄更斯用奥利弗和他的故事来展示维多利亚时代英国贫苦儿童的艰难生活。分析句子结构可知，此处表示目的，且use sth. to do sth.（用某物做某事）为固定用法，需用动词不定式，故填to show。 【33题详解】 句意：在小说中所有的孩子里，奥利弗无疑有着最善良的心。分析句子结构可知，根据前文“Among all the kids in the novel”可知，此处表示在三者或三者以上中进行比较，需用形容词最高级，且设空处前有定冠词the，good的最高级为best，故填best。 【34题详解】 句意：到目前为止，这个经典故事已经感动了全世界数以百万计的读者。分析句子结构可知，根据时间状语“So far（到目前为止）”可知，句子应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，主语this classic story为第三人称单数，助动词用has，故填has moved。 【35题详解】 句意：虽然生活充满了困苦，但善良将总是指引我们向前。分析句子结构可知，前后两个分句之间为让步转折关系，需用从属连词although或though引导让步状语从句，且位于句首，首字母需大写，故填Although或者Though。 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。 In the heart of Shanghai, a quiet but powerful movement is growing. More and more middle school students are stepping out of their classrooms and into their communities — not for homework, but to volunteer. Every Saturday morning, 14-year-old Li Hua teaches basic computer skills to the elderly at a local community center. “Many of them have never used a smartphone before,” Li says with a smile. “When they finally learn how to video-call their grandchildren, their eyes light up. That’s my reward.” This volunteer work is not limited to Shanghai. Across China, schools are encouraging students to join in meaningful social activities. In 2025, the Ministry of Education (教育部) even asked schools to put community service into school lessons. Why does volunteer work matter? Because volunteering helps young people develop responsibility and problem-solving skills. These qualities cannot be decided by test scores alone. Moreover, these experiences often inspire bigger dreams. In Changsha, some students start environmental clubs. Others also donate books to students in poor areas. Their small actions spread through the world, creating a kinder, more connected society. As one student put it: “We’re not waiting to grow up to make a difference. We’re doing it now.” 36.

For years, he has had difficulty in reading, being able to read only a few simple words. He worked part-time jobs—building, gardening, food service, but his reading problem always held him back. He depended on audio (音频) apps and asked others to read messages for him, and he often lied about his reading ability to avoid embarrassment. In 2024, after his daughter was born, he decided to change his life. “I want to read her bedtime stories one day,” he told himself. With the help of his wife, Lila, Carlos began learning to read at the age of 36. Every night, they sat together at the kitchen table, starting with simple picture books and slowly moving to children’s chapter (章节) books. “There were nights I wanted to give up,” he said. But he kept going, and after a year, he could read full paragraphs without help. Later, he even started sharing his reading journey on social media, which brought something unexpected. People began to follow his progress, cheering him on as he read more challenging books. “I realized my story might help someone else feel less alone,” he said. Today, Carlos has over 250, 000 followers on TikTok, where he posts live book readings and shares tips for adult learners. Many people say his videos have inspired them to pick up a book again. Now, Carlos lives with his family in Austin, Texas. He reads to his daughter every night and hopes to write a children’s book someday. “I never thought I’d be someone who could help others learn to read,” he said. “This life, this family, this purpose—it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.” 3. What can we know about Carlos’ past? A. He could hardly read. B. He didn’t mind his weakness. C. He read stories to his daughter. 4. What happened after Carlos shared his reading journey online? A. He wrote a book. B. He stopped reading. C. He received support. 5. Which of the following best describes Carlos? A. Shy but polite. B. Caring and brave. C. Kind but strict. 6. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Time waits for no man. B. East or west, home is best. C. It’s never too late to learn. C Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife. A healthy forest is full of animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter. However, that is a big job. Researchers can make thousands of hours of recordings but then someone has to listen to them all and pick out the different animal and bird calls. What if that someone is an AI? Scientists are using AI technology to help with the task. Through the new Forest Listeners web experiment (实验), scientists want people around the world — including you — to help too. The website gets you to move around a virtual (虚拟的) forest, listening for wildlife. When you find a new species (物种), you listen to its song until you can remember it. The next step is to listen to real forest recordings (there are more than 1.2 million of them), and decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not, or if you’ re not sure. The answers people give are then used to train AI to tell what animals they are by their sounds. Scientists say that the project helps them deal with a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all. “Every sound tagged (贴标签) by a forest listener helps train our AI models,” the scientists said, “This group effort provides us with valuable information, allowing us to find out differences among different animals. These are important signs for a healthy forest.” 7. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1? A. Recording wildlife pictures. B. Comparing different animal calls. C. Checking forest health by listening. 8. What question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A. What can show a rainforest is healthy? B. How do people help in the web experiment? C. Why do the scientists start the web experiment? 9. How does AI help the scientists? A. By dealing with recordings quickly. B. By remembering new species’ sounds. C. By inviting more people to care for forests. 10. What is the main idea of the text? A. Forests are in danger now. B. Helping forests is helping humans. C. Humans together with AI protect forests. 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。 Have you ever felt upset or bored in daily life?

More and more middle school students are stepping out of their classrooms and into their communities — not for homework, but to volunteer. Every Saturday morning, 14-year-old Li Hua teaches basic computer skills to the elderly at a local community center. “Many of them have never used a smartphone before,” Li says with a smile. “When they finally learn how to video-call their grandchildren, their eyes light up. That’s my reward.” This volunteer work is not limited to Shanghai. Across China, schools are encouraging students to join in meaningful social activities. In 2025, the Ministry of Education (教育部) even asked schools to put community service into school lessons. Why does volunteer work matter? Because volunteering helps young people develop responsibility and problem-solving skills. These qualities cannot be decided by test scores alone. Moreover, these experiences often inspire bigger dreams. In Changsha, some students start environmental clubs. Others also donate books to students in poor areas. Their small actions spread through the world, creating a kinder, more connected society. As one student put it: “We’re not waiting to grow up to make a difference. We’re doing it now.” 36.
