A smile slowly appeared on his face and ____16____ of them laughed. Simon thought to himself, “Bob is right. Being negative doesn’t help.” Simon then ____17____ his attitude (态度) gradually and started to see the good side of things. Now Simon is much older and has a happy family.

A sad person sees only problems, while a cheerful one looks for ____19____ in problems. So next time when you are in a difficult situation, ____20____ yourself, “Do I see a half-empty bottle, or a half-full one?” The choice is yours. 11. A. wind B. light C. sound 12.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇哲理记叙文，总往坏处想的Simon和好友Bob乘船出游，突遇大风被困海上。面对只剩一半水的水瓶，Simon悲观觉得瓶子半空，Bob却乐观认为瓶子半满。这件事点醒Simon，他慢慢转变心态，学会发现事物好的一面。文章告诉我们：幸福不在于一帆风顺，困境中也要看见希望，看待事物的选择权掌握在自己手中。 【11题详解】 句意：突然，一阵大风把他们的船吹向远方。 结合后文blew（吹），这里要填wind，意为“风”。 light“光线”、sound“声音”，无法搭配动词blow。 【12题详解】 句意：但至少要过好几个小时才会有人发现并救助他们。 固定句型it would be+时间段+until…“直到……才”，until“直到”符合语境。 because“因为”、so“所以”，逻辑不通。 【13题详解】 句意：他们只能在酷热的天气里等待救援。 根据下文“As they waited”，可知这里是指等待救援，wait“等待”符合语境。 cry“哭泣”、swim“游泳”，不符合原地等候救援的情节。 【14题详解】 句意：糟了！水瓶只剩一半空的了。 后文Bob回应it is half full，形成对比，empty“空的”符合语境。 dirty“脏的”、full“满的”，和Simon 消极的心态不符。 【15题详解】 句意：Simon十分认真地看着 Bob。 Simon听到截然相反的看法，认真注视对方，seriously“认真地”符合语境。 loudly“大声地”、safely“安全地”，语义不匹配。 【16题详解】 句意：笑容慢慢浮现在他脸上，两人都笑了起来。 此处指Simon和Bob两个人，要填both，意为“两者都”。 neither“两者都不”、all“三者及以上都”，数量不符。 【17题详解】 句意：之后Simon 渐渐改变了自己的态度，开始看到事物好的一面。 前文他意识到消极毫无用处，这里要填changed，意为“改变”。 passed“传递、经过”、refused“拒绝”，和心态转变文意相反。 【18题详解】 句意：幸福从来不是拥有一帆风顺的人生，而是在灰暗时刻看见光明的一面。 和dark moments黑暗时刻形成反差，这里要填bright，意为“光明的、积极的”。 strange“奇怪的”、scary“可怕的”，感情色彩消极。 【19题详解】 句意：悲观的人只看见难题，乐观的人却能在困境中寻找希望。 结合全文乐观积极的主旨，这里要填hope，意为“希望”。 hobbies“爱好”、danger“危险”，偏离文章中心。 【20题详解】 句意：所以下次身处困境时，问问自己：我看见的是半空的瓶子，还是半满的瓶子？ 后文是内心自问的内容，这里要填ask，意为“询问”。 help“帮助”、wish“期盼”，搭配反身代词语义不通。 第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；计30分） 八、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题2分，计30分） A Green Town Central Hospital Medical Record Date of visit: May 22nd, 2026 Patient Information Name: Sarah Hansen Gender: Female Date of birth: April 25th, 2012 Problem Description Sarah experiences a stomachache after trying different food for lunch.

No one in Guangxi ever imagined facing such a terrible drought. It changed our green, rainy home into a dry and dead place. From the beginning of November 2024 to May 2025, there was hardly any heavy rain here. Only light rain fell on the ground sometimes. This was the lowest since (自从) 1961. Why did this happen? A weather event called La Niña sent strong winds from the north over Guangxi. Also, the high-pressure system kept wet air away, so it was hotter and less rainy. The unusual drought affected people’s drinking water and crops. Thousands of people didn’t have enough water to drink, and large areas of crops were dying. Many cities like Nanning and Guilin, along with lots of counties (县), had drought problems. In Guigang, some small water pools even had no water left. The government spared no effort to help. They dug many new wells (井) for water and did cloud seeding (人工降雨) many times. The government used a large amount of money to solve the problems, such as rebuilding farms, buying water tools and sending water. These made sure people had enough water until the rainy season came. In June, it rained a lot, and the land turned green again. Guangxi’s drought tells a truth: Nature is like a magic box full of surprises. Just when we think we understand it well enough, it suddenly shows us something we didn’t expect. It reminds us that no matter how much we study and prepare, nature always has its own rules and ways of working. 31. How long did the drought in Guangxi last? A. For 3 months. B. For 6 months. C. For 7 months. 32. In in Paragraph 4, which sentence should we put the underlined word “effort” in Paragraph 4? A. No pains, no gains. Success needs great ________. B. Many ________ love to travel around the world. C. She looks at that strange box with ________, and wonders what’s in it. 33. Which way did the government NOT use to fight against the drought? A. Doing cloud seeding. B. Buying water tools. C. Building more houses. 34. According to the article, which fact is TRUE? A. Guangxi has never met drought before. B. People in Guangxi had to dig wells by themselves to get drinking water. C. Even though we study hard and get ready well, nature can still give us surprises. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Story of La Niña in Guangxi B. A Drought in Guangxi C. The Rainy Season in Guangxi 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了广西在2025年遭遇了自1961年以来最严重的干旱，政府通过打井、人工降雨、调配水资源等措施应对，最终在6月迎来降雨，缓解了旱情，此次事件提醒人类需敬畏自然的不可预测性。 【31题详解】 第一段“From the beginning of November 2024 to May 2025, there was hardly any heavy rain here.”提示，干旱从2024年11月初持续到2025年5月。计算月份：11月、12月、1月、2月、3月、4月、5月，共计7个月。 【32题详解】 文中“effort”意为“努力”。A选项句意为“成功需要巨大的努力”，填入effort符合逻辑。 【33题详解】 根据第四段“They dug many new wells...and did cloud seeding...buying water tools and sending water.”，政府采取了挖井、人工降雨、购买水具等措施，文中未提及“Building more houses”。 【34题详解】 根据最后一段“It reminds us that no matter how much we study and prepare, nature always has its own rules and ways of working.”，无论我们如何研究和准备，自然总有其规律并可能带来意外，与C选项表述一致。 【35题详解】 全文主要讲述了2025年广西发生的严重干旱事件，包括其持续时间、成因、影响、政府应对措施以及带来的启示。A选项仅涉及成因之一；C选项仅涉及结尾部分，B选项“A Drought in Guangxi”最能概括全文主旨。 B卷（共50分） 一、短文填空。（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 从下面方框中选出10个单词，并将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 badly die everything feel hide I live luck nature simple success survive As we all know, disasters often affect our lives.

Luckily 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者在美国中西部亲身遭遇龙卷风的经历，介绍龙卷风相关常识以及灾难来临时的避险方法，最后庆幸无人受伤。 【36题详解】 句意：全世界的人们都惧怕自然灾害。空格修饰名词disasters，需用形容词，nature意为“自然”，形容词形式natural表示“自然的”，natural disasters为固定搭配“自然灾害”，符合语境。 【37题详解】 句意：我住在北美洲中部一片龙卷风带附近的城市。前文“moved”为过去式，全文为过去时态，live意为“居住”，过去式为lived，贴合过去居住的经历。 【38题详解】 句意：每当云层聚集、天空变暗，这仅仅预示着龙卷风即将来临。空格修饰动词shows，要用副词，simple意为“简单的”，副词形式simply表示“仅仅、简单地”，修饰动词符合语法要求。 【39题详解】 句意：龙卷风来袭时如果你待在室外，遭遇它可能意味着生或者死。or前后并列名词life，die意为“死亡”，名词形式death，life or death是固定搭配，意为“生死”。 【40题详解】 句意：你最好找一个地窖躲进去。此处用不定式作目的状语，find a basement的目的是躲藏，hide意为“躲藏”，不定式to hide表目的。 【41题详解】 句意：在2006年4月23日晚上，我在当地一家餐馆躲过了一场龙卷风。事件发生在过去，使用一般过去时，survive意为“幸存、幸免于难”，过去式为survived，表示“躲过了一场龙卷风”。 【42题详解】 句意：更糟糕的是，那家餐馆里没有地窖。固定短语what’s even worse表示“更糟糕的是”，badly的比较级为worse，用来递进说明糟糕的情况。 【43题详解】 句意：我告诉自己要保持冷静。主语是I，动作作用于自身，I的反身代词myself，tell oneself to do sth表示“告诉自己做某事”。 【44题详解】 句意：二十分钟过去了，什么事都没发生。根据后文龙卷风离开了可知没有险情，everything改写为nothing，表示“没有任何事”，符合文意。 【45题详解】 句意：幸运的是，没有人受伤。根据“nobody was hurt.”可知，没人受伤是“幸运的”，句首副词修饰整个句子，luck意为“运气”，副词形式luckily表示“幸运的是”，句首首字母大写。 二、补全短文。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Although we now have more free time than before, it seems that we don’t feel that way.

It also helps students sleep better, feel less stressful, and deal with emotions like anger or sadness more calmly after doing it. It also helps them be more patient and confident. How to start? First, sit comfortably on a chair or the floor. Keep your back straight. Close your eyes. Breathe in slowly through your nose, then out slowly through your mouth. Count each breath from one to ten. If your mind jumps to homework, a friend, or lunch, that’s okay—just return to counting. Try five minutes daily. It works well in the morning or before bed. In Chengdu, some schools start practising simple meditation. Before class begins, students do a three-minute breathing exercise together. Some schools created “Peace Corners” with mats in classrooms or libraries. Students go to these places to relax when needed. These help students feel calmer and focus better. One student shared, “After breathing quietly, I feel ready for maths class!” Try meditation today! It is free, easy, and good for your mind and heart. Start small—even two minutes helps. With practice, you may feel more peaceful and stronger inside. Start your journey to a calmer mind now!

It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huaihe River in the east. It divides (划分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look! In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid (潮湿的) weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃ even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya. During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes. Some places are covered with snow. It’s like a fairy-tale world from movies. People often make snowmen and have snowball fights to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze. Heating is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarves, down jackets and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners or electric heaters (空调或者电暖气) to keep themselves warm during winter. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 56. Where is Qinling-Huaihe Line? ___________________________________________ 57. When does the coldest month start in northern China? ___________________________________________ 58. How do people in northern provinces enjoy the happiness of winter? ___________________________________________ 59. How does the writer tell the differences between northern and southern China? ___________________________________________ 60. Do you like to live in southern or northern China? Why? ___________________________________________ 【答案】56. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huaihe River in the east. 57. In January. 58. They often make snowmen and have snowball fights. 59. By comparing the weather, winter activities and heating ways between them. 60. I like to live in northern China because I like playing with snow. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的秦岭——淮河线，以及它所划分的中国南北方在冬季气候、人们的活动和取暖方式等方面的差异。 【56题详解】 第一段明确说明“It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huaihe River in the east.”，因此答案直接提取原文信息即可。 【57题详解】 第二段指出“In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January.”，这是原文中的时间信息，直接提取。 【58题详解】 第三段明确说明“People often make snowmen and have snowball fights to enjoy the happiness of winter.”，这是人们在冬季玩耍的方式，直接提取。 【59题详解】 第二段“In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather in winter.”以及后文对南北方冬季活动和取暖方式的描述，作者是通过对比南北方的天气、冬季活动和取暖方式来讲述两者差异的。 【60题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合文中信息（如南方温暖、北方有雪景等）或个人喜好作答，言之成理即可。 四、书面表达。（计15分） 61. 假如你是李华，你的朋友Peter想来四川旅游，想让你推荐一个景点。请根据下图提示给他写一封电子邮件。 注意：1. 邮件内容必须包括图片中的所有信息； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校； 3. 词数80—100。开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Peter, How are you going?

No one in Guangxi ever imagined facing such a terrible drought. It changed our green, rainy home into a dry and dead place. From the beginning of November 2024 to May 2025, there was hardly any heavy rain here. Only light rain fell on the ground sometimes. This was the lowest since (自从) 1961. Why did this happen? A weather event called La Niña sent strong winds from the north over Guangxi. Also, the high-pressure system kept wet air away, so it was hotter and less rainy. The unusual drought affected people’s drinking water and crops. Thousands of people didn’t have enough water to drink, and large areas of crops were dying. Many cities like Nanning and Guilin, along with lots of counties (县), had drought problems. In Guigang, some small water pools even had no water left. The government spared no effort to help. They dug many new wells (井) for water and did cloud seeding (人工降雨) many times. The government used a large amount of money to solve the problems, such as rebuilding farms, buying water tools and sending water. These made sure people had enough water until the rainy season came. In June, it rained a lot, and the land turned green again. Guangxi’s drought tells a truth: Nature is like a magic box full of surprises. Just when we think we understand it well enough, it suddenly shows us something we didn’t expect. It reminds us that no matter how much we study and prepare, nature always has its own rules and ways of working. 31. How long did the drought in Guangxi last? A. For 3 months. B. For 6 months. C. For 7 months. 32. In in Paragraph 4, which sentence should we put the underlined word “effort” in Paragraph 4? A. No pains, no gains. Success needs great ________. B. Many ________ love to travel around the world. C. She looks at that strange box with ________, and wonders what’s in it. 33. Which way did the government NOT use to fight against the drought? A. Doing cloud seeding. B. Buying water tools. C. Building more houses. 34. According to the article, which fact is TRUE? A. Guangxi has never met drought before. B. People in Guangxi had to dig wells by themselves to get drinking water. C. Even though we study hard and get ready well, nature can still give us surprises. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Story of La Niña in Guangxi B. A Drought in Guangxi C. The Rainy Season in Guangxi B卷（共50分） 一、短文填空。（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 从下面方框中选出10个单词，并将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 badly die everything feel hide I live luck nature simple success survive As we all know, disasters often affect our lives.
