【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了洛杉矶面临的山火危险,分析了气候和人为原因,讲述了灾害后果及专家建议。
【1题详解】
句意:它导致气温上升,使情况甚至更加危险。
根据上文“wildfire dangers”可知,气温升高使火灾条件更危险,dangerous“危险的”符合语境。difficult“困难的”、boring“无聊的”、noisy“吵闹的”不符合火灾语境。
【2题详解】
句意:科学家们说大雨后继长时间干旱等异常天气有引发火灾的风险。
根据下文“Plants grow...with enough rain, but then dry weather makes them die quickly, and strong winds then spread fires fast.”可知,干旱让植物迅速死亡,而大风加快了火的蔓延,由此可知是引发火灾的风险,risk“风险”符合语境。way“方法”、force“力量”和value“价值”语意不通。
【3题详解】
句意:植物在有足够雨水时健康生长,但干燥的天气让它们迅速死亡,大风让火蔓延得很快。
根据“with enough rain”可知,雨水充足植物长得健康。healthily“健康地”符合语境,slowly“缓慢地”、quietly“安静地”和differently“不同地”不符合植物的生长逻辑。
【4题详解】
句意:人类的习惯也增加了危险。
根据下文“lazy to clear the dry plants around their houses”可知,懒得清理干燥的植物是一种不良习惯。habits“习惯”符合语境,occasions“场合”、hobbies“爱好”和jobs“工作”不符合语境。
【5题详解】
句意:有些人太懒了,不去清理房子周围的干草,尽管这对防火安全很重要。
根据“fire safety”可知,清理干草对安全至关重要。important“重要的”符合语境,expensive“昂贵的”、lucky“幸运的”和strange“奇怪的”无法构成转折逻辑。
【6题详解】
句意:人们也在四周是森林的高风险区域建造更多房屋。
固定搭配“in areas”表示在某个区域,in符合语境。under“在……下”、with“和”和below“在……下方”不符合语境。
【7题详解】
句意:直至2025年1月16日,洛杉矶的山火已经致使27人死亡,损毁了超过12000栋建筑。
根据“had killed 27 people”可知,此处在描述火灾后果,只有broke down“摧毁”能表示建筑物被破坏。calmed down“冷静下来”、turned down“拒绝”和wrote down“写下”与建筑物受损无关。
【8题详解】
句意:浓烟使人们呼吸困难,伤害了野生动植物,导致许多动物死亡。
根据“Thick smoke”可知,烟雾直接影响呼吸,breathe“呼吸”符合语境,study“学习”、feel“感觉”和work“工作”不符合烟雾影响的常识。
【9题详解】
句意:救援队日以继夜地奋战,但他们仍无法控制火灾长达几个星期。
根据“Rescue teams”可知,救援队的目标是控制火势,control“控制”符合语境,change“改变”、forget“忘记”和clear“清理”不符合救援语境。
【10题详解】
句意:专家建议为未来的灾难做准备:建造能防火的房屋、避开高风险的建筑区域,以及清理掉干燥的植物。
根据下文“build fireproof houses”等措施可知,这是在为未来做准备,preparing for“做准备”符合语境,looking for“寻找”、waiting for“等待”和asking for“请求”不符合预防灾害的逻辑。
三、阅读理解(共两节,16小题;每小题2分,满分32分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)
请阅读下列语篇,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The rise of AI doctors is not like something from science fiction anymore. It’s really happening now. In different parts of China, AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field.
In February 2025, Beijing Children’s Hospital brought in the country’s first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). An 8-year-old boy had a sudden and serious illness. Thirteen top experts were trying hard to find the best treatment (治疗). At the same time, the AI doctor came up with a treatment plan and it was like the human doctors’ thought.
In Shandong, a couple were very distressed when their child had a high fever. They decided to try DeepSeek before going to the hospital. After putting in the description of the illness, the AI said it was probably a bacterial infection (细菌感染) and suggested some medicine. When they went to the hospital, the doctor gave exactly the same medicine.
Even in some villages of Jiangsu, AI doctors help patients tell about their illnesses and make it easier for disabled people to move around in the hospital.
All these examples show us two important things AI doctors can do. They can help top doctors make better choices and they can also make health care easier for everyone in the country. However, AI doctors need to make more improvements. As one doctor said, “AI doctors can give us ideas, but we still need the care given by humans.”
11. How does the writer describe the AI doctor’s role in Paragraph 2?
A. By listing many numbers. B. By telling a real story.
C. By asking some questions. D. By teaching a lesson.
12. What does the underlined word “distressed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bored. B. Relaxed. C. Excited. D. Worried.
13. What is the passage mainly about?
A. AI doctors are helping sick children in villages.
B. AI doctors are taking the place of human doctors.
C. AI doctors are bringing changes to the medical field.
D. AI doctors are causing problems in the medical field.
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍人工智能医生正在走进现实,在中国多地给医疗行业带来巨大变化,列举北京、山东、江苏等地实例说明AI医生发挥的作用,同时指出AI仍有待完善,无法取代人文医疗。
【11题详解】
第二段通过讲述北京儿童医院AI儿科医生辅助专家制定治疗方案的真实案例,描述AI医生的作用,属于“讲故事”的方式。
【12题详解】
第三段提到“a couple were very distressed when their child had a high fever.”,孩子发高烧,父母在去医院前尝试AI诊断,结合常识,孩子生病父母会担忧,distressed意为“担忧的”,与Worried同义;Bored无聊的,Relaxed放松的,Excited兴奋的,均不符合语境。
【13题详解】
文章开头点明“AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field”,后续通过实例支撑这一主题,因此主旨是AI医生给医疗领域带来变化。
B
When I was in Grade 6, my father gave me a copy of Robinson Crusoe (鲁宾逊漂流记) as my 12th birthday gift. At first, I didn’t want to read it because I thought it was too thick and would be boring. But my dad told me it was a classic work and I would fall in love with it once I started.
I decided to give it a try. After reading the first few pages, I couldn’t put it down. I was totally attracted by Robinson’s adventures on the lonely island. I admired how he built a wooden house, grew corn and made simple tools all by himself to survive. Every night after finishing my homework, I would read a few chapters (章节). It took me about two weeks to finish the whole book.
After reading it, I learned a valuable lesson: no matter how hard the situation is, we should never give up easily. I also developed a strong interest in classic novels. Now, Robinson Crusoe is still my favorite book. I often read it again when I feel upset or face difficulties.
14. Why didn’t the writer want to read the book at first?
A. Because he thought it was too thick and boring.
B. Because he didn’t like his father’s choice.
C. Because he had too much homework to do.
D. Because he hated adventure stories.
15. How long did it take the writer to finish reading Robinson Crusoe?
A. About one week. B. About two weeks C. About three weeks. D. About a month.
16. What lesson did the writer learn from the book?
A. We should learn to live on an island.
B. We should give up when things get hard.
C. We should never give up no matter how difficult the situation is.
D. We should read more books in our free time.
【答案】14. A 15. B 16. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了作者起初嫌弃《鲁宾逊漂流记》厚重无趣,读后却被深深吸引,并从中懂得遇事永不放弃的道理。
【14题详解】
第一段写明作者最初不想读这本书的原因:“At first, I didn’t want to read it because I thought it was too thick and would be boring”,这直接说明作者觉得这本书太厚,还会很无聊。
【15题详解】
第二段末尾交代阅读时长:“It took me about two weeks to finish the whole book”,由此可知作者花了大约两周读完《鲁宾逊漂流记》。
【16题详解】
第三段点明作者从书中学到的道理:“no matter how hard the situation is, we should never give up easily”,意思是无论处境多么艰难,我们都绝不应该轻易放弃。
C
When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals.
The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometers. There are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colors.
There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹).
Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the beauty there.
17. What can we see in the Valley of Flowers?
A. Flowers, grass and snow leopards. B. Flowers, trees and whales.
C. Flowers, trees and monkeys. D. Trees, grass and elephants.
18. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. The trees. B. The animals. C. The flowers. D. The wild plants.
19. What is the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①…)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】17. A 18. D 19. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍位于印度北部的“花之谷”国家公园,描述其丰富的花卉资源、珍稀野生植物和濒危动物,以及公园的保护措施。
【17题详解】
根据第二段“There are flowers everywhere.”、第三段“There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass”以及“some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards”可知,可以看到花、草和雪豹。
【18题详解】
原文“There are also a lot of wild plants...They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world!”中,前一句提到“wild plants”,后文“Some of them”指代的就是这些野生植物,因此“them”指代“wild plants”。
【19题详解】
全文共四段:第一段总起引入花之谷;第二段介绍花卉和地理位置;第三段介绍野生植物和濒危动物;第四段介绍保护措施(国家公园及规定)。结构应为总——分。
D
Running a charity shop is a popular and meaningful way to help people in need in many cities. These shops collect all kinds of donated second-hand objects from warm-hearted people, such as clothes, books, toys and everyday supplies. They sell these things at very low prices, and all the money they make is given to support sick children, homeless people and lonely elderly citizens (居民).
Most workers in charity shops are volunteers. They come from all walks of life (各行各业), including students, office workers and retired (退休的) people. They are ready to spend their spare time sorting goods, cleaning shelves and serving customers patiently. They never get paid for their work, but they feel happy and proud to do something useful for society.
Many people like shopping in charity shops now. They think the goods are cheap and in good condition. Reusing second-hand things helps cut down waste and it’s also good for the environment. Besides, shoppers feel they are doing a small good deed (善事) while shopping.
Charity shops also hold small voluntary activities on weekends. They try their best to care for poor kids and the elderly in the neighbourhood. More and more people are influenced to join them and pass on warmth to others.
20. What do we know about the workers in charity shops?
A. They all work full-time for money.
B. They are all shop owners.
C. They work as volunteers for free.
D. They are only retired old people.
21. Which is NOT true about shopping in charity shops?
A. Things are very cheap. B. It is good for the environment.
C. It helps people in need. D. It can make shoppers rich.
22. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People can buy expensive gifts in charity shops.
B. Volunteers get much money from their work.
C. Shopping in charity shops is a kind of small kindness.
D. Charity shops only hold activities on weekdays.
【答案】20. C 21. D 22. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍慈善商店的运营模式、志愿者构成、人们选择在此购物的原因以及慈善商店开展的志愿活动,展现慈善商店传递善意、助力弱势群体的意义。
【20题详解】
原文第二段:Most workers in charity shops are volunteers. …They never get paid for their work。说明慈善商店工作人员是无偿服务的志愿者,对应C选项。A、B、D均与原文内容不符。
【21题详解】
题干要求选出表述不正确的一项。文章第三段提到商品价格低廉、利于环保、能够帮助有需要的人;文中没有提到在慈善商店购物可以让人变富有,D选项错误。
【22题详解】
原文第三段:Besides, shoppers feel they are doing a small good deed while shopping.可以推断出,在慈善商店购物是一种小小的善举。A、B、D内容均和原文信息冲突。

【导语】本文是一篇人物介绍(记叙文),讲述中国女飞行员徐枫灿从高中时期梦想参军,经过严格选拔和训练,最终成为中国优秀飞行员的励志故事。
【37题详解】
句意:在2024年第十五届中国航展上,一名驾驶Z-20直升机的年轻女飞行员凭借出色的飞行技术吸引了人们的目光。此处需谓语动词,描述过去事件,用一般过去时,catch的过去式caught,与eyes搭配构成catch one’s eyes(吸引目光)。
【38题详解】
句意:她将绿色军装视为自己的选择,将蓝天视为战场。空格前有her,需名词作宾语;choice意为“选择”,与后文battlefield形成对比,符合她主动参军的语境。
【39题详解】
句意:徐枫灿于1999年10月出生于浙江省金华市。固定搭配“was born”表示“出生于”,介词用on(具体日期)或in(月份)。
【40题详解】
句意:她的父母都是老师,在学习上帮了她很多。help sb. a lot with sth.为固定搭配,a lot作副词短语修饰help,表示程度“很多”。后文“Xu did not let them down”进一步印证父母帮助有效。
【41题详解】
句意:高中快结束时,大家都认为徐枫灿会在高考中取得好成绩。do well in意为“在……方面做得好”,与“the college entrance exam”搭配,表示“高考发挥出色”。前文提到她成绩优异,后文“Xu did not let them down”也印证这一点。空后有in,故填do well。
【42题详解】
句意:她曾在电视上看到飞行员翱翔蓝天,梦想有一天加入他们。空格前为动词joining,需宾格代词作宾语,指代前文提到的“pilots”(复数),需用they的宾格形式them。
【43题详解】
句意:因此,当空军航空大学开始招募时,她想去尝试。前文提到她梦想成为飞行员,后文说她想尝试,因果关系,用So表“因此”,句首大写。
【44题详解】
句意:尽管这意味着她必须放弃高考。give up意为“放弃”,与“放弃高考去参军”的逻辑一致,且后文“try out”形成对比(为了尝试参军,不得不放弃高考)。
【45题详解】
句意:然而,成为一名女飞行员并不容易。空格前有wasn’t,需形容词作表语;easy表示“容易的”,与后文“艰苦训练”和“从12万候选人中脱颖而出”形成对比,强调选拔和训练的难度。
【46题详解】
句意:最终,她从12万名候选人中脱颖而出。表示经过努力后的最终结果,与后文“2017年进入大学”形成时间顺序,需选final“最终”,空处需用副词修饰整个句子,final的副词形式是Finally“最终”,位于句首大写。
五、读写结合(共7小题;第75-80小题,每小题2分,第81小题1分,满分13分)
请阅读下面语篇,根据语篇内容,填写表格中所缺的信息(每空限填一词),并回答下列小题。
The Numbers in Journey to the West
Journey to the West is a famous Chinese novel. The numbers in it are not just simple numbers, but carry rich cultural information and special meanings. Now, let’s have a look at some of the numbers and their meanings.
13,500
Do you remember what this number stands for (代表) in Journey to the West? Yes. Sun Wukong’s magic stick, also called Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighs 13,500 jin. But it’s interesting that this number is also the number of breaths a person takes in a day and night, which is written in an old book called Huangdi Neijing. This shows that the stick is as important to Sun Wukong as breathing is to a person.
81
Tang Sanzang and his apprentices (徒弟) go through nine nine eighty-one difficult adventures. In Chinese culture, the number nine is very important. It is the biggest single number and means something is complete (完整的). Eighty-one is nine times (乘以) nine, so it means they go through a lot of hard times to achieve something great.
108,000
The total distance they travel to get the sacred texts (经文) is 108,000 li (a unit of distance). The number 108 is special in Buddhism (佛教). It is a lucky number that means everything is perfect. For example, Buddhists often use prayer beads (念珠) with 108 beads to help them get rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
So, in the book Journey to the West, these numbers are not just for counting. They help us understand the story better and show us how special and meaningful the journey is. They make the novel more amazing and are also an important part of traditional Chinese culture.

【答案】47.
13,500 48.
breaths 49.
adventures 50.
biggest 51.
get 52.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国名著《西游记》中三个关键数字背后的文化含义和特殊寓意,展示了这些数字如何丰富故事内涵并体现中国传统文化。
【47题详解】
根据文章第二段“Sun Wukong’s magic stick, also called Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighs 13,500 jin.”,如意金箍棒重13,500斤,应填“13,500”。
【48题详解】
根据文章第二段“But it’s interesting that this number is also the number of breaths a person takes in a day and night...”,这个数字也是一个人一天一夜呼吸的次数,故填breaths。
【49题详解】
根据文章第三段“Tang Sanzang and his apprentices go through nine nine eighty-one difficult adventures.”,唐僧师徒经历了九九八十一难,故填“adventures”。
【50题详解】
根据文章第三段“It is the biggest single number and means something is complete.”,九是最大的个位数。故填“biggest”。
【51题详解】
根据文章第四段“The total distance they travel to get the sacred texts is 108,000 li.”可知,他们为了取真经总共行进了十万八千里。题目中“If they want to ______ the sacred texts”表示目的,对应文中的“to get”,故填“get”。
【52题详解】
根据文章第四段“The number 108 is special in Buddhism. It is a lucky number that means everything is perfect.”以及后文提到的摆脱坏运气,可知108被认为能带来好运。故填“good”。
【53题详解】
本题为开放性问答。问题问是否喜欢《西游记》及原因。回答需表明态度并给出理由。答案不唯一,言之有理即可。

The rise of AI doctors is not like something from science fiction anymore. It’s really happening now. In different parts of China, AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field.
In February 2025, Beijing Children’s Hospital brought in the country’s first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). An 8-year-old boy had a sudden and serious illness. Thirteen top experts were trying hard to find the best treatment (治疗). At the same time, the AI doctor came up with a treatment plan and it was like the human doctors’ thought.
In Shandong, a couple were very distressed when their child had a high fever. They decided to try DeepSeek before going to the hospital. After putting in the description of the illness, the AI said it was probably a bacterial infection (细菌感染) and suggested some medicine. When they went to the hospital, the doctor gave exactly the same medicine.
Even in some villages of Jiangsu, AI doctors help patients tell about their illnesses and make it easier for disabled people to move around in the hospital.
All these examples show us two important things AI doctors can do. They can help top doctors make better choices and they can also make health care easier for everyone in the country. However, AI doctors need to make more improvements. As one doctor said, “AI doctors can give us ideas, but we still need the care given by humans.”
11. How does the writer describe the AI doctor’s role in Paragraph 2?
A. By listing many numbers. B. By telling a real story.
C. By asking some questions. D. By teaching a lesson.

C. AI doctors are bringing changes to the medical field.
D. AI doctors are causing problems in the medical field.

When I was in Grade 6, my father gave me a copy of Robinson Crusoe (鲁宾逊漂流记) as my 12th birthday gift. At first, I didn’t want to read it because I thought it was too thick and would be boring. But my dad told me it was a classic work and I would fall in love with it once I started.
I decided to give it a try. After reading the first few pages, I couldn’t put it down. I was totally attracted by Robinson’s adventures on the lonely island. I admired how he built a wooden house, grew corn and made simple tools all by himself to survive. Every night after finishing my homework, I would read a few chapters (章节). It took me about two weeks to finish the whole book.
After reading it, I learned a valuable lesson: no matter how hard the situation is, we should never give up easily. I also developed a strong interest in classic novels. Now, Robinson Crusoe is still my favorite book. I often read it again when I feel upset or face difficulties.
14. Why didn’t the writer want to read the book at first?
A. Because he thought it was too thick and boring.
B. Because he didn’t like his father’s choice.
C. Because he had too much homework to do.
D. Because he hated adventure stories.
15. How long did it take the writer to finish reading Robinson Crusoe?
A. About one week. B. About two weeks C. About three weeks. D. About a month.
16. What lesson did the writer learn from the book?

When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals.
The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometers. There are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colors.
There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹).
Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the beauty there.
17. What can we see in the Valley of Flowers?
A. Flowers, grass and snow leopards. B. Flowers, trees and whales.
C. Flowers, trees and monkeys. D. Trees, grass and elephants.
18. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. The trees. B. The animals. C. The flowers. D. The wild plants.
19. What is the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①…)
A. B. C. D.
D
Running a charity shop is a popular and meaningful way to help people in need in many cities. These shops collect all kinds of donated second-hand objects from warm-hearted people, such as clothes, books, toys and everyday supplies. They sell these things at very low prices, and all the money they make is given to support sick children, homeless people and lonely elderly citizens (居民).
Most workers in charity shops are volunteers. They come from all walks of life (各行各业), including students, office workers and retired (退休的) people. They are ready to spend their spare time sorting goods, cleaning shelves and serving customers patiently. They never get paid for their work, but they feel happy and proud to do something useful for society.
Many people like shopping in charity shops now. They think the goods are cheap and in good condition. Reusing second-hand things helps cut down waste and it’s also good for the environment. Besides, shoppers feel they are doing a small good deed (善事) while shopping.
Charity shops also hold small voluntary activities on weekends. They try their best to care for poor kids and the elderly in the neighbourhood. More and more people are influenced to join them and pass on warmth to others.
20. What do we know about the workers in charity shops?
A. They all work full-time for money.
B. They are all shop owners.
C. They work as volunteers for free.
D. They are only retired old people.
21. Which is NOT true about shopping in charity shops?
A. Things are very cheap. B. It is good for the environment.
C. It helps people in need. D. It can make shoppers rich.
22. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People can buy expensive gifts in charity shops.
B. Volunteers get much money from their work.
C. Shopping in charity shops is a kind of small kindness.
D. Charity shops only hold activities on weekdays.

The Numbers in Journey to the West
Journey to the West is a famous Chinese novel. The numbers in it are not just simple numbers, but carry rich cultural information and special meanings. Now, let’s have a look at some of the numbers and their meanings.
13,500
Do you remember what this number stands for (代表) in Journey to the West? Yes. Sun Wukong’s magic stick, also called Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighs 13,500 jin. But it’s interesting that this number is also the number of breaths a person takes in a day and night, which is written in an old book called Huangdi Neijing. This shows that the stick is as important to Sun Wukong as breathing is to a person.
81
Tang Sanzang and his apprentices (徒弟) go through nine nine eighty-one difficult adventures. In Chinese culture, the number nine is very important. It is the biggest single number and means something is complete (完整的). Eighty-one is nine times (乘以) nine, so it means they go through a lot of hard times to achieve something great.
108,000
The total distance they travel to get the sacred texts (经文) is 108,000 li (a unit of distance). The number 108 is special in Buddhism (佛教). It is a lucky number that means everything is perfect. For example, Buddhists often use prayer beads (念珠) with 108 beads to help them get rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
So, in the book Journey to the West, these numbers are not just for counting. They help us understand the story better and show us how special and meaningful the journey is. They make the novel more amazing and are also an important part of traditional Chinese culture.
