Chinese educator Zhang Guimei, born in 1957, has devoted her life to advancing girls’ education in China. After graduating from Lijiang Teachers College in 1990, she began her career as a middle-school teacher. In 1995, she moved to Huaping, a remote and impoverished county in Yunnan, where she met challenges that would shape her mission.
In Huaping, Zhang discovered that poverty and traditional beliefs led many parents to ignore their daughters’ education. As a result, many girls dropped out of school early and were married off at a young age. Zhang, deeply affected by this situation, believed that an educated mother would never allow her children to abandon school. She once said, “As long as I have breath in me, I will keep teaching in the classroom with all my heart, giving everything I have.” With this strong faith, Zhang decided in 2002 to build a free public high school for girls — a bold idea that many at the beginning considered as impossible.
Despite the doubt, Zhang carried on. With support from the local government and donations from individuals, she founded Huaping High School for Girls in 2008. Determined to prevent dropouts (辍学者), Zhang made it a personal mission to visit the homes of her students, sometimes traveling for hours into the mountains. Her tireless efforts have allowed approximately 2,000 girls from poor families to pursue higher education, completely changing their futures.
“If girls from these remote areas want to leave, we just offer them a hand to help them fly and see the wider world,” Zhang said in an interview with China Global Television Network.
Beyond offering educational opportunities, Zhang has fostered a sense of self-worth and confidence in her students. In the fall of 2020, she surprised all 468 students by treating them to the best milk tea in the area, saying, “I hope that one day, these girls can walk down the street and drink whatever they want.”
Her spirit is reflected in the school’s motto (校训): “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek (小溪).” Zhang’s devotion and vision have not only given girls an education but also left a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of girls.
4. What caused Zhang Guimei to found a free public high school for girls in Huaping?
A. To become a famous educator in China. B. To give everything she has to teaching with all her heart.
C. To promote traditional beliefs among the girls. D. To help girls escape early marriage and receive education.
5. What is the possible effect of Zhang’s home visits to students’ families?
A. Poor families are greatly improved. B. Mountain roads are quickly repaired.
C. Dropout rates are directly reduced. D. School donations are slowly increased.
6. Why did Zhang treat her students to the best milk tea in the fall of 2020?
A. To reward them for good grades. B. To encourage them to aim higher in life.
C. To surprise them with something special. D. To inspire them to support local businesses.
7. How does the school’s motto, “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek,” reflect Zhang’s hopes for her students?
A. Cherish mountain views. B. Serve the local mountains.
C. Be strong and independent. D. Beat examination hardships.
C
ChatGPT markets itself as a productivity booster for workers, yet a striking gender gap in its use has emerged. Two recent studies prove women are 16 to 20 percentage points less likely to adopt the AI tool than men, even when holding the same jobs or studying the same majors.
The first survey covered 100,000 Danish workers across 11 professions in which the technology could save workers' time, including journalism, software-developing and teaching. Researchers found out that surprisingly, in all fields, female employees fell behind male ones in AI use. Half of male teachers used ChatGPT at work, compared with only one-third of female teachers. Among developers, nearly two-thirds of men turned to the tool, while fewer than half of women did. The gap shrank only slightly, to 16 percentage points, when directly comparing people in the same firms working on similar tasks. Researchers concluded women's lack of confidence may be in part to blame: female non-users were far more likely to claim they needed professional training before using AI.
Another study focused on university students. Among business undergraduates, women were 18 percentage points less likely to use ChatGPT frequently. The gap mainly existed among mid and top-performing female students, while low achievers showed little gender difference. Further interviews revealed top female students set strict limits on themselves. Driven by a “good girl” mindset, they refused shortcuts, believing they must finish assignments independently. If professors clearly permitted AI, however, they would gladly use it. Worse still, the restriction harms women's future career prospects (前景). Nonetheless, a follow-up survey of 1,143 recruiters showed outstanding women with AI skills gained an 8% employment upper hand, which is unavailable to men.
Experts hold mixed attitudes toward this tendency. Tera Allas from McKinsey fears AI products will be tailored to male users, pushing women out long-term. But Danielle Li from MIT stays optimistic. She pointed out that women later dominated online activity after the male-dominated early internet. Besides, heavy AI use does not guarantee better work performance, and top female students may simply avoid digital distractions.
8. What does the underlined word “shrank” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Disappeared B. Narrowed C. Widened D. Soared
9. What can we infer about high-scoring female business students?
A. Their grades fall greatly after using ChatGPT.
B. They hate AI because it breaks fair study rules.
C. They seldom finish homework without online tools.
D. They dropped the limitation if teachers agree on AI.
10. According to the interviewers’ survey, what advantage do top women with AI skills have?
A. Free AI training courses B. An 8% benefit in job hunting
C. Permission to use AI shortcuts D. The same salary as male workers
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A New Gender Gap in AI adoption B. Ways to Encourage Women to Learn AI
C. Experts’ Ideas About Future AI Products D. Studies on Students’ Daily Use of ChatGPT
D
For the first time since the Apollo days, humans are preparing not just to visit the Moon, but to live and work there for weeks, months, and even years. The US Artemis program aims to set up a base on the Moon’s surface. Rather than just leaving “flags and footprints” as the Apollo mission did, NASA wants to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, beginning at the lunar South Pole.
The program unfolds in stages. In 2022, Artemis I mission successfully tested the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on an unmanned mission around the Moon. On April 1, 2026, NASA launched Artemis II, a ten-day mission carrying four astronauts around the Moon to verify that life-support systems, temperature protection and deep-space operations function safely with humans onboard. Before astronauts can live on the Moon, the journey there must be proven dependable.
NASA plans to spend $20 billion on a lunar surface base to support longer and longer stays. This is designed to teach us how to operate lastingly beyond Earth — knowledge that will finally feed forward to future Mars missions.
Living on the Moon will challenge every organ (器官) system in the human body. Unlike astronauts in low-Earth orbit, astronauts on the Moon work largely outside Earth’s protection. This increases exposure (暴露) to space radiation (辐射), which can harm DNA, weaken the body’s defense system, and affect the brain and the heart. Currently, there are some measures to reduce radiation, such as using lunar soil as cover, early warning systems for solar storms, and operational strategies that limit exposure during high-risk periods. Personalized eating strategies and exercise are also important during long lunar missions.
Spending longer time on the Moon will be amazing. If we can learn how to keep humans healthy and productive on the lunar surface, we take a decisive step toward becoming a truly spaceflight species. Artemis shows that exploration is no longer about brief heroics. It is about adaptability and understanding ourselves as deeply as the worlds we seek to explore. In learning how to live on the Moon, we may learn as much about life on Earth as we do about our future beyond it.
12. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Humans will return to the Moon soon.
B. The Apollo program was very successful.
C. NASA plans to build a long-term Moon base.
D. Astronauts will work at the Moon’s South Pole.
13. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Permit. B. Confirm. C. Recover. D. Bet.
14. Why does the author mention low-Earth orbit in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the value of exercising during space missions.
B. To show the radiation harm to astronauts on the Moon.
C. To present the various methods of protecting astronauts.
D. To prove the low-Earth orbit mission is more dangerous.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward exploring living on the Moon?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and coward (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
“Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).
It was my turn to give him help.

Hours later, the rescue team found us.

FIFA 2026 Mascots: Maple, Zayu and Clutch

Carefully designed to mirror their nations’ cultures, they together stand for unity, diversity, and the shared passion for football.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino called them “full of joy, energy and the spirit of togetherness,” adding that they would “win hearts and spark celebrations across North America and around the world.” They will appear throughout the tournament, often travelling together, greeting fans, and offering photo opportunities. Local Host City social media accounts are recommended for updates on their appearances.
Each mascot has a special personality. Maple, an artistic goalkeeper, loves music and street style, drawing strength from creativity. Zayu, a jungle-born striker, embodies Mexican pride through dance, food, and tradition, using swiftness to dominate on the pitch.

Chinese educator Zhang Guimei, born in 1957, has devoted her life to advancing girls’ education in China. After graduating from Lijiang Teachers College in 1990, she began her career as a middle-school teacher. In 1995, she moved to Huaping, a remote and impoverished county in Yunnan, where she met challenges that would shape her mission.
In Huaping, Zhang discovered that poverty and traditional beliefs led many parents to ignore their daughters’ education. As a result, many girls dropped out of school early and were married off at a young age. Zhang, deeply affected by this situation, believed that an educated mother would never allow her children to abandon school. She once said, “As long as I have breath in me, I will keep teaching in the classroom with all my heart, giving everything I have.” With this strong faith, Zhang decided in 2002 to build a free public high school for girls — a bold idea that many at the beginning considered as impossible.
Despite the doubt, Zhang carried on. With support from the local government and donations from individuals, she founded Huaping High School for Girls in 2008. Determined to prevent dropouts (辍学者), Zhang made it a personal mission to visit the homes of her students, sometimes traveling for hours into the mountains. Her tireless efforts have allowed approximately 2,000 girls from poor families to pursue higher education, completely changing their futures.
“If girls from these remote areas want to leave, we just offer them a hand to help them fly and see the wider world,” Zhang said in an interview with China Global Television Network.
Beyond offering educational opportunities, Zhang has fostered a sense of self-worth and confidence in her students. In the fall of 2020, she surprised all 468 students by treating them to the best milk tea in the area, saying, “I hope that one day, these girls can walk down the street and drink whatever they want.”
Her spirit is reflected in the school’s motto (校训): “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek (小溪).” Zhang’s devotion and vision have not only given girls an education but also left a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of girls.
4. What caused Zhang Guimei to found a free public high school for girls in Huaping?
A. To become a famous educator in China. B. To give everything she has to teaching with all her heart.
C. To promote traditional beliefs among the girls. D. To help girls escape early marriage and receive education.
5. What is the possible effect of Zhang’s home visits to students’ families?
A. Poor families are greatly improved. B. Mountain roads are quickly repaired.
C. Dropout rates are directly reduced. D. School donations are slowly increased.
6. Why did Zhang treat her students to the best milk tea in the fall of 2020?
A. To reward them for good grades. B. To encourage them to aim higher in life.
C. To surprise them with something special. D. To inspire them to support local businesses.
7. How does the school’s motto, “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek,” reflect Zhang’s hopes for her students?
A. Cherish mountain views. B. Serve the local mountains.
C. Be strong and independent. D. Beat examination hardships.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Huaping, Zhang discovered that poverty and traditional beliefs led many parents to ignore their daughters’ education. As a result, many girls dropped out of school early and were married off at a young age. Zhang, deeply affected by this situation, believed that an educated mother would never allow her children to abandon school. She once said, “As long as I have breath in me, I will keep teaching in the classroom with all my heart, giving everything I have.” With this strong faith, Zhang decided in 2002 to build a free public high school for girls — a bold idea that many at the beginning considered as impossible.(在华坪,张桂梅发现贫困与传统观念让许多家长忽视女儿的教育,不少女孩早早辍学,年纪轻轻就被安排嫁人。这一现状深深触动了她,她坚信受过教育的母亲绝不会让自己的孩子放弃学业。她曾说:“只要我还有一口气,就会全心全意站在讲台上,付出我的全部。”怀着这份坚定的信念,2002年她决定创办一所免费的公办女子高中,这个大胆的想法在最初被很多人认为根本不可能实现。)”可知,她创办免费女高是为了帮助女孩摆脱早婚、获得受教育的机会。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to prevent dropouts (辍学者), Zhang made it a personal mission to visit the homes of her students, sometimes traveling for hours into the mountains. Her tireless efforts have allowed approximately 2,000 girls from poor families to pursue higher education, completely changing their futures.(为了不让任何一名学生辍学,张桂梅把家访当成了自己的专属任务,有时要徒步数小时深入大山走访学生家庭。她数十年如一日的不懈努力,让近2000名来自贫困家庭的女孩获得了接受高等教育的机会,彻底改变了她们的人生轨迹。)”可知,家访的直接效果是降低辍学率。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Beyond offering educational opportunities, Zhang has fostered a sense of self-worth and confidence in her students. In the fall of 2020, she surprised all 468 students by treating them to the best milk tea in the area, saying, “I hope that one day, these girls can walk down the street and drink whatever they want.”(除了提供受教育的机会,张桂梅还在学生心中种下了自我价值感与自信心的种子。2020年秋天,她给全校468名学生准备了惊喜,请她们喝当地能买到的最好的奶茶,她告诉孩子们:“我希望有一天,这些女孩走在街上,想喝什么就能买什么。”)”可知,请学生喝奶茶是为了鼓励她们树立更高的人生目标。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her spirit is reflected in the school’s motto (校训): “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek (小溪).” Zhang’s devotion and vision have not only given girls an education but also left a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of girls.(她的精神凝结成了学校的校训:“我生来就是高山而非溪流。”张桂梅的坚守与远见,不仅为女孩们争取到了受教育的权利,更给数千名女孩的人生留下了不可磨灭的深远影响。)”校训“我生来就是高山而非溪流”,传递的是希望学生成为强大独立的人,而非甘于平庸的小溪。

ChatGPT markets itself as a productivity booster for workers, yet a striking gender gap in its use has emerged. Two recent studies prove women are 16 to 20 percentage points less likely to adopt the AI tool than men, even when holding the same jobs or studying the same majors.
The first survey covered 100,000 Danish workers across 11 professions in which the technology could save workers' time, including journalism, software-developing and teaching. Researchers found out that surprisingly, in all fields, female employees fell behind male ones in AI use. Half of male teachers used ChatGPT at work, compared with only one-third of female teachers. Among developers, nearly two-thirds of men turned to the tool, while fewer than half of women did. The gap shrank only slightly, to 16 percentage points, when directly comparing people in the same firms working on similar tasks. Researchers concluded women's lack of confidence may be in part to blame: female non-users were far more likely to claim they needed professional training before using AI.
Another study focused on university students. Among business undergraduates, women were 18 percentage points less likely to use ChatGPT frequently. The gap mainly existed among mid and top-performing female students, while low achievers showed little gender difference. Further interviews revealed top female students set strict limits on themselves. Driven by a “good girl” mindset, they refused shortcuts, believing they must finish assignments independently. If professors clearly permitted AI, however, they would gladly use it. Worse still, the restriction harms women's future career prospects (前景). Nonetheless, a follow-up survey of 1,143 recruiters showed outstanding women with AI skills gained an 8% employment upper hand, which is unavailable to men.
Experts hold mixed attitudes toward this tendency. Tera Allas from McKinsey fears AI products will be tailored to male users, pushing women out long-term. But Danielle Li from MIT stays optimistic. She pointed out that women later dominated online activity after the male-dominated early internet. Besides, heavy AI use does not guarantee better work performance, and top female students may simply avoid digital distractions.
8. What does the underlined word “shrank” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Disappeared B. Narrowed C. Widened D. Soared
9. What can we infer about high-scoring female business students?
A. Their grades fall greatly after using ChatGPT.
B. They hate AI because it breaks fair study rules.
C. They seldom finish homework without online tools.
D. They dropped the limitation if teachers agree on AI.
10. According to the interviewers’ survey, what advantage do top women with AI skills have?
A. Free AI training courses B. An 8% benefit in job hunting
C. Permission to use AI shortcuts D. The same salary as male workers
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A New Gender Gap in AI adoption B. Ways to Encourage Women to Learn AI
C. Experts’ Ideas About Future AI Products D. Studies on Students’ Daily Use of ChatGPT
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍当下使用 ChatGPT 存在明显的性别差距,结合两项分别针对职场员工和大学生的研究分析女性更少使用该 AI 工具的原因,同时阐述不同专家对这一现象的不同看法。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The gap shrank only slightly, to 16 percentage points, when directly comparing people in the same firms working on similar tasks.(当直接对比同公司做相似工作的员工时,这一差距仅小幅缩小至 16 个百分点)”,结合上下文可知原本男女使用 AI 差距更大,同一公司相同工作下差距变小,shrank表示 “缩小”,Narrowed 符合词义。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“If professors clearly permitted AI, however, they would gladly use it.(但如果老师明确允许使用人工智能,她们就会乐意使用)”可推知,成绩优异的商科女生若老师允许使用 AI,就会放下自我限制使用 AI 工具。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nonetheless, a follow-up survey of 1,143 recruiters showed outstanding women with AI skills gained an 8% employment upper hand, which is unavailable to men.(尽管如此,一项针对 1143 名招聘人员的后续调查显示,掌握人工智能技能的优秀女性在求职时拥有 8% 的优势,这是男性不具备的)”可知,掌握人工智能技能的优秀女性在求职方面拥有8%的优势。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇“ChatGPT markets itself as a productivity booster for workers, yet a striking gender gap in its use has emerged.(ChatGPT自称是提升工作效率的工具,但其使用中却出现了显著的性别差距)”点明核心话题,全文围绕 AI 使用中的性别差距展开研究分析,A选项“人工智能使用中出现的新性别差距”契合全文主旨,为最佳标题。

For the first time since the Apollo days, humans are preparing not just to visit the Moon, but to live and work there for weeks, months, and even years. The US Artemis program aims to set up a base on the Moon’s surface. Rather than just leaving “flags and footprints” as the Apollo mission did, NASA wants to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, beginning at the lunar South Pole.
The program unfolds in stages. In 2022, Artemis I mission successfully tested the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on an unmanned mission around the Moon. On April 1, 2026, NASA launched Artemis II, a ten-day mission carrying four astronauts around the Moon to verify that life-support systems, temperature protection and deep-space operations function safely with humans onboard. Before astronauts can live on the Moon, the journey there must be proven dependable.
NASA plans to spend $20 billion on a lunar surface base to support longer and longer stays. This is designed to teach us how to operate lastingly beyond Earth — knowledge that will finally feed forward to future Mars missions.
Living on the Moon will challenge every organ (器官) system in the human body. Unlike astronauts in low-Earth orbit, astronauts on the Moon work largely outside Earth’s protection. This increases exposure (暴露) to space radiation (辐射), which can harm DNA, weaken the body’s defense system, and affect the brain and the heart. Currently, there are some measures to reduce radiation, such as using lunar soil as cover, early warning systems for solar storms, and operational strategies that limit exposure during high-risk periods. Personalized eating strategies and exercise are also important during long lunar missions.
Spending longer time on the Moon will be amazing. If we can learn how to keep humans healthy and productive on the lunar surface, we take a decisive step toward becoming a truly spaceflight species. Artemis shows that exploration is no longer about brief heroics. It is about adaptability and understanding ourselves as deeply as the worlds we seek to explore. In learning how to live on the Moon, we may learn as much about life on Earth as we do about our future beyond it.
12. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Humans will return to the Moon soon.
B. The Apollo program was very successful.
C. NASA plans to build a long-term Moon base.
D. Astronauts will work at the Moon’s South Pole.
13. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Permit. B. Confirm. C. Recover. D. Bet.
14. Why does the author mention low-Earth orbit in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the value of exercising during space missions.
B. To show the radiation harm to astronauts on the Moon.
C. To present the various methods of protecting astronauts.
D. To prove the low-Earth orbit mission is more dangerous.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward exploring living on the Moon?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了美国NASA的阿尔忒弥斯(Artemis)登月计划。文章阐述了该计划的目标是在月球南极建立长期人类基地,介绍了计划的分阶段实施(包括Artemis I和Artemis II任务)、月球基地的建设预算,以及长期月球生活对人体各器官系统的挑战和应对措施,最后表达了对人类成为真正航天物种的展望。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Rather than just leaving “flags and footprints” as the Apollo mission did, NASA wants to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, beginning at the lunar South Pole.(与阿波罗任务仅留下“旗帜和脚印”不同,NASA希望在月球南极点开始,建立长期的人类驻留基地)”可知,第一段的核心内容是NASA计划在月球建立长期基地。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“On April 1, 2026, NASA launched Artemis II, a ten-day mission carrying four astronauts around the Moon to verify that life-support systems, temperature protection and deep-space operations function safely with humans onboard.(2026年4月1日,NASA发射了阿尔忒弥斯II号,这是一项为期十天的任务,搭载四名宇航员绕月飞行,以verify生命支持系统、温度保护和深空操作在有人员搭载时能安全运行)”可推知,搭载宇航员绕月飞行的目的是“确认、核实”各项系统能安全运行。划线词verify与confirm“确认、证实”同义。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Unlike astronauts in low-Earth orbit, astronauts on the Moon work largely outside Earth’s protection. This increases exposure (暴露) to space radiation (辐射), which can harm DNA, weaken the body’s defense system, and affect the brain and the heart.(与近地轨道的宇航员不同,月球上的宇航员很大程度上在地球保护之外工作。这增加了太空辐射的暴露,会损害DNA、削弱身体防御系统,并影响大脑和心脏)”可推知,作者提到近地轨道是为了形成对比,强调月球上的宇航员缺乏地球保护,从而突出辐射对月球宇航员的危害。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Spending longer time on the Moon will be amazing. If we can learn how to keep humans healthy and productive on the lunar surface, we take a decisive step toward becoming a truly spaceflight species.(在月球上待更长时间将是令人惊叹的。如果我们能学会如何在月球表面保持人类健康和高效,我们就向成为真正的航天物种迈出了决定性的一步)”以及“In learning how to live on the Moon, we may learn as much about life on Earth as we do about our future beyond it.(在学习如何在月球上生活的过程中,我们对地球生命的了解可能不亚于对地球以外未来的了解)”可推知,作者对月球探索持积极乐观、充满希望的态度。

考查动词。句意同上。A. weakened变弱;B. deepened加深;C. widened拓宽;D. sharpened使锋利。根据上文“their bond”可知,共患难的经历会拉近人与人的距离。
【31题详解】
考查名词。句意:Jessica 说:“我向来需要上天给出缘分暗示,我当时就想,如果这都不算预兆,那我真的太迟钝了。”A. signal电子信号;B. sign征兆、缘分暗示;C. symbol象征;D. sight景象。根据后文“if God isn’t giving me one right now, I’m a fool”可知,此处指命运给出的缘分提示,sign侧重事情发生的预兆、征兆,符合语境。
【32题详解】
考查动词。句意:倘若 Justin 当初没有拐错那个弯,他们大概率就能躲过这场洪水,再也不会和对方有交集。A. faced面对;B. survived幸存;C. escaped避开、躲过;D. floated漂浮。根据上文“If Justin hadn’t made that wrong turn, they likely would have”可知,此处假设没有拐错弯,二人就不会驶入积水路段,也就可以避开这场洪水灾难。
【33题详解】
考查动词。句意:Justin感慨道:“我虽然失去了一辆车,却得到了一个妻子。”A. found找到;B. lost丢失;C. sold售卖;D. bought购买。由下文“a car but gained a wife”可知,洪水淹没损毁了他的汽车,因此是失去车子,后文but gained a wife形成得失对比。
【34题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们的故事提醒我们,哪怕身处最令人恐惧的绝境,美好际遇也会不期而至。A. frightening令人恐惧的;B. disappointing令人失望的;C. flexible灵活的;D. passive被动的。由上文“Their story reminds us that even in the most”可知,被洪水围困、车辆进水、水位持续上涨是危险可怕的处境。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意同上。A. leap跳跃;B. disappear消失;C. exist存在;D. occur发生。根据上文“but gained a wife”和下文“A moment of crisis can be the turning point of a lifelong love.”可知,在这场洪水灾难中他遇到了自己的妻子,即此处指美好的缘分会在危难场景中出现。
第二节 单项选择(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
36. The local government built more green parks and fitness facilities in residential areas, ________ residents to enjoy leisure activities close to their homes.
A. permitting B. to permit C. permitted D. having permitted
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:当地政府在居民区建设了更多的绿色公园和健身设施,使得居民能够在离家近的地方享受休闲活动。逗号前是一个完整的句子,设空处应填入非谓语动词作状语。政府建设公园和设施的这一举措自然而然地产生了让居民就近享受休闲活动的结果,现在分词作结果状语通常表示自然而然的结果,且与前面整个句子的内容构成主动关系,因此使用现在分词permitting。
37. There are numerous items ________, so you can choose what you like most.
A. choosing B. choose from C. to choose D. to choose from
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:有很多物品可供选择,所以你可以挑你最喜欢的。固定句型There be sth. + to do表示“有某事可做”,choose是不及物动词,表达“从……中挑选”要用choose from,items 是choose的来源,不是宾语,必须加from。
38. The research team was the first one ________ a significant breakthrough in this field, ________ all their energy to the project for years.
A. to achieve; having devoted B. achieving; to devote C. achieved; devoting D. to achieve; devoting
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个研究团队是该领域第一个取得重大突破的团队,他们多年来把所有的精力都投入到了这个项目中。第一空,当名词前有序数词(如the first)修饰时,其后通常用动词不定式作后置定语,即固定搭配the first sb./sth. to do sth.(第一个做某事的人/物),故第一空填to achieve;第二空,devote与逻辑主语The research team之间是主动关系,且根据时间状语“for years”可知,devote这一动作发生在谓语动词was之前,故应用现在分词的完成式having devoted作状语。
39. Recent research shows that as many as 25% of employees face work-related stress at some point in their careers, with frontline workers _______ more than office staff.
A. affecting B. being affected C. affected D. having been affected
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:最近的研究表明,多达25%的员工在职业生涯的某个阶段面临与工作相关的压力,其中一线工人受到的影响比办公室职员更大。本题考查“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”复合结构。句中宾语frontline workers与动词affect之间为逻辑上的被动关系,即一线工人“被影响”,本句描述普遍存在的情况,不强调动作前后顺序,故应用过去分词作宾语补足语。
40. — Why didn’t you ask him for help?
— I meant ________, but he was busy at that moment.
A. asking B. to asking C. ask D. to
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你为什么不向他求助?——我本打算求助的,但他那时很忙。 固定搭配 mean to do sth. 意为“打算做某事”,而 mean doing sth. 意为“意味着做某事”。根据语境,答句表达的是“我本打算向他求助”,因此应使用 mean to do 结构。此外,在英语语法中,为了避免重复,当动词不定式的内容在上下文中已经明确出现过时,通常会省略不定式符号 to 后面的动词原形及其相关内容,只保留 to。此处 to 后面省略了ask him for help。
第三节 单词填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
根据所给中文意思或单词,在空白处填入必修三Unit 2、Unit 3和Unit 4所学单词的正确形式(每空不超过三个单词)。
41. ________ (determine) to make a difference to the local polluted river, a group of volunteers organize regular clean-up activities and call on citizens to protect the waters.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Determined
【解析】
【详解】句意:一群志愿者下定决心要改善当地被污染的河流,他们定期组织清理活动,并号召市民保护水域。 此处为形容词作状语,固定搭配be determined to do sth.(下定决心做某事),省略主语与be动词,直接用determined置于句首,首字母大写。
42. If the manager ignores every customer’s ________ (投诉), the shop will gradually lose its reputation and regular buyers. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】complaint##complaints
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果经理无视每一位顾客的投诉,这家店会逐渐失去口碑和老顾客。根据汉语提示“投诉”可知,本空用名词complaint,作ignores的宾语。指一个投诉,用单数,或指多个投诉,用复数形式。
43. The sudden loss of his part-time job was a blessing in ________ (假扮), pushing him to focus fully on his studies and finally win a full scholarship. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】disguise
【解析】
【详解】句意:他突然丢了兼职实则因祸得福,这件事促使他全身心投入学习,最终拿到全额奖学金。根据提示的汉语,表示“假扮”为名词disguise作宾语,a blessing in disguise 意为“因祸得福”。
44. She was stuck in a painful ________ (困境), not knowing if she should follow her parents’ advice or stick to her own dream of art. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】dilemma
【解析】
【详解】句意:她陷入痛苦的困境,不知道该听从父母的建议还是坚持自己的艺术梦想。 此处形容词painful后需填名词,“困境”对应dilemma,前面有不定冠词a,用单数形式。
45. The library provides a wide ________ (select) of books covering history, literature and science. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】selection
【解析】
【详解】句意:这家图书馆提供种类繁多的书籍,涵盖历史、文学和科学领域。 此处固定搭配a wide selection of表示“各种各样的、丰富的”,wide是形容词,后接名词,动词select的名词形式为selection。
46. If you want to apply for a passport, you need to prepare all required documents and go through complicated ________ (步骤) at the local embassy. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】procedures##procedure
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:如果你想申请护照,你需要准备好所有要求的材料,在当地大使馆走完复杂的步骤。根据汉语提示“步骤”可知,本空用可数名词procedure,作宾语,可指一个步骤,用单数形式,或强调多个步骤,用复数形式。
47. For decades, scientists ________ (seek) effective cures for this disease that threatens people’s heath greatly, but in vain. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】have sought
【解析】
【详解】句意:几十年来,科学家一直在寻找这种严重威胁人类健康的疾病的有效疗法,但一无所获。 此处时间标志词For decades(数十年来)是现在完成时的提示,主语scientists为复数,助动词用have,seek的过去分词为sought。
48. The players ________ (energy) ran and passed the ball throughout the match, never quitting even when they fell behind in score. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】energetically
【解析】
【详解】句意:运动员们整场比赛精力充沛地奔跑、传球,即便比分落后也从未放弃。 此处修饰动词ran和passed,需要使用副词作状语;名词energy对应的副词形式为energetically。
49. In response to the natural disaster, the government has promised to provide ________ (财政的) support to small businesses affected by the crisis. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】financial
【解析】
【详解】句意:为应对这场自然灾害,政府承诺为受灾情冲击的小微企业提供财政扶持。 此处修饰名词support需用形容词作定语,“财政的”对应单词financial。

【答案】sufficiency
【解析】
【详解】句意:宇航员进行太空行走前,工作人员必须检测宇航服内储存氧气的充足程度。 此处定冠词the后需要使用名词作宾语,sufficient是形容词,其名词形式为 sufficiency,表示“充足,足量”,不可数。

Students can decorate their booths with national flags, traditional costumes, and handmade crafts. To make it more interactive, we could arrange cultural workshops, like Chinese calligraphy lessons.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and coward (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brother and sister, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn’t want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together — just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
“Are you okay?” My brother asked from the driver’s seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).
It was my turn to give him help.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hours later, the rescue team found us.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was my turn to give him help. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my own racing heart. Look at me, Matthew. We’re siblings, and I will always be with you. Slowly but surely, we managed to free ourselves from the seat belts and crawled out of the car. I clumsily applied a clean cloth on his arm to stop bleeding and tried to bandage his wound carefully. After searching the trunk, I found a colourful rope and used it to make a large SOS sign in the sand, hoping to be found.
Hours later, the rescue team found us. They praised us for our self rescue awareness, saying they were on duty when they found our sign. I knew it was my care for my brother that gave me courage to stay cool. It’s ugly but I love it. Thank you, my dear sister, staring at the bandage on his arm, Matthew showed a comfort smile, weak but proud. With the help of the rescue team, we safely returned home. I finally understood that true sibling love came from company, care and help.
