I have a friend named Jenny. She has a healthy problem. She had a bad stomachache this morning. She thinks it was because she ate too much last night. She took some medicine, but it didn’t work. She is going to the hospital tomorrow morning. 【解析】 【原文】Jenny woke up this morning with a really bad stomachache. She thought it was because she ate a really big dinner last night. She sometimes has a stomachache if she eats too much. She had nothing for breakfast, and she only had some milk for lunch. She bought some medicine and took it. But she doesn’t think the medicine is working, because she still has an upset stomach. So she’s going to the People’s Hospital tomorrow morning. Maybe the doctor there can tell her what medicine to have. It’s terrible, because if she is sick, she can’t go to her friend’s party tomorrow night. 二、完形填空（每小题1分，共10分） Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a young girl named Lila. Lila was known (出名的) for her very ____19____ temper, and she often lost control of her anger. One day, Lila and her best friend Maya were ____20____ a game when Lila suddenly fell down. Maya laughed, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all, but Lila thought Maya laughed at her. She felt embarrassed.

He said, “When you feel angry, you ____27____ hold the stone and take three deep breaths.” It wasn’t easy at first, but with practice, Lila learned how to control her anger. She also said sorry to Maya and promised she would never let her anger hurt Maya again. Maya forgave her, and they became even ____28____ than before. 19. A. good B. interesting C. bad D. boring 20.

A. closer B. worse C. longer D. smaller 【答案】19. C 20. A 21. C 22. D 23. C 24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述女孩Lila因坏脾气伤害朋友，后在猫头鹰帮助下学会控制情绪，最终修复友谊的故事。 【19题详解】 句意：Lila因她非常坏的脾气而出名，她经常控制不住自己的怒火。 根据“she often lost control of her anger”，可知脾气是不好的，bad“坏的”，符合逻辑。good“好的”；interesting“有趣的”；boring“无聊的”，均不符合发怒的负面语境。 【20题详解】 句意：一天，Lila和她最好的朋友Maya正在玩游戏，这时Lila突然摔倒了。 根据“a game”，结合短语playing a game表示“玩游戏”，playing意为“玩”，符合搭配。dancing“跳舞”；painting“画画”；programming“编程”，均不符合搭配。 【21题详解】 句意：她不假思索，粗鲁地骂了她，还把她推开了。 根据“rudely called her names”及愤怒的语境，可知动作具有攻击性，pushed“推”，符合逻辑。ran“跑”；pulled“拉”；flew“飞”，均不符语境。 【22题详解】 句意：她一直想着自己对Maya做的事。 根据“kept...about what she did”，可知是在反思，thinking“思考”，符合逻辑。reading“阅读”；making“制作”；drinking“喝”，均不符合反思的语境。 【23题详解】 句意：第二天，Lila 走进森林，希望找到一个办法，以便能和Maya和好。 根据“find a way”与“make up”之间的目的关系可知，so that“以便”，符合逻辑。until“直到”；although“虽然”；if“如果”，均不能表达目的关系。 【24题详解】 句意：她看见树上有一只聪明的老猫头鹰。 根据“wise old owl”首次提到，且wise以辅音音素开头，此处泛指一只猫头鹰，用不定冠词a。an“一个”，用于元音音素前；the“这个”，表示特指；/不填，均不符合单数可数名词用法。 【25题详解】 句意：Lila伤心地向他解释了自己的情况。 根据前文Lila伤害朋友后失眠、后悔，sadly表示“伤心地”，符合她此时愧疚难过的心情。happily“快乐地”；surprisingly“惊讶地”；thankfully“感激地”，均不符合难过后悔的语境。 【26题详解】 句意：猫头鹰说：“愤怒可能会让我们伤害自己和他人。” 根据“make us”，主语隐含为us，us对应的反身代词是ourselves，表示伤害“我们自己”。yourselves“你们自己”；herself“她自己”；themselves“他们自己”，均与人称us不对应。 【27题详解】 句意：他说：“当你生气时，你可以握住石头，深呼吸三次。” 根据猫头鹰给建议的语境，could表示建议或可能性，语气委婉，符合建议的语境。shouldn’t“不应该”；mustn’t“禁止”；can’t“不能”，均表示否定，与建议做法相反。 【28题详解】 句意：Maya原谅了她，她们变得甚至比以前更亲密了。 根据“forgave her”及友谊修复的语境可知，closer表示关系更亲密，符合和好后的结果。worse“更糟”；longer“更长”；smaller“更小”，均不符合友谊修复的积极语境。 三、阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） A A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit China’s Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7th, 2025. A total of 126 people were killed and 188 others got injured. How terrible! If you’re indoors during an earthquake, here are some steps to protect yourself. Drop to the floor. Earthquakes always happen without much warning, so it’s advised that you drop to the floor as soon as an earthquake hits. Take cover. Get under a strong table or desk. If possible, stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蹲) in an inside corner of the building. Hold on. The ground may be shaking and objects could be falling. Hold on to whatever shelter (遮蔽物) you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you are unable to find a shelter to hide under, continue to keep your head protected with your arms. Remain inside. Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside. So remain inside until it’s safe to get out. 29. Where did the earthquake happen in the text? A. In Xizang. B. In Shanxi. C. In Zhejiang. D. In Sichuan. 30. How many steps are given to stay safe indoors during an earthquake? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 31. What should we do when we can’t find a shelter to hide under according to the text? A.

What is the text mainly about? A. Some facts about earthquakes. B. The causes and effects of earthquakes. C. A story of keeping safe during an earthquake. D. Steps to stay safe indoors during an earthquake. 【答案】29. A 30. C 31. C 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了地震时在室内保护自己的步骤。 【29题详解】 第一段指出“earthquake hit China’s Xizang Autonomous Region”，说明这次地震发生在西藏。 【30题详解】 表格中给出了自我保护的步骤：Drop to the floor、Take cover、Hold on、Remain inside，一共是四个步骤。 【31题详解】 表格“Hold on”部分指出“If you are unable to find a shelter...continue to keep your head protected with your arms”，说明在找不到遮蔽物时，用胳膊护住头部。 【32题详解】 全文围绕地震时在室内保护自己的步骤展开，用表格形式依次给出四个步骤，因此主要讲“地震时在室内保持安全的步骤”。 B Last month, I went to France with my family. I was excited but also a little nervous because I knew little about French customs. I didn’t want to make mistakes. On the first day, we went to a French restaurant for dinner. When I sat down, I wanted to use my chopsticks, but my father stopped me. He told me that people in France use knives and forks. He also told me not to put my elbows on the table when I was eating. At that moment, I felt very embarrassed. I decided to learn more about the rules there. When we met new people, I learned to shake hands with them and greet them politely. I tried not to talk too loudly or laugh too much in public. During my stay, I found that understanding foreign customs was not difficult. It helped me get on well with the people there and made my trip enjoyable. 33. Where did the writer go last month? A. England. B. France. C. Japan. D. India. 34.

Yes, that’s right. And I especially enjoy collecting waste wood. These pieces of wood may not be wanted by others, but my grandfather and I can give them a new life. We love turning them into flower shelves, sunshades, and even swings. We place them in our garden and they make us very happy. They also give our garden a sense of design. I also like picking up bottles. These are usually empty bottles. We can repurpose (重新利用) them by making holes at the top and using them to water flowers. Of course there can be many other uses for these bottles. I find picking up these waste things very enjoyable. Some people think it’s difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things, but it is a piece of cake for me. I’m really good at turning these seemingly useless objects into useful resources. They can help us do many things and create a much cleaner environment. We are always encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. By doing these, we can not only create new things but also play our part in protecting the environment. My special hobby of recycling rubbish really brings me a lot of fun and a sense of achievement. Would you join me? Let’s do our part to help make the world a cleaner and better place! Yours, Yang Jing 37. What does the writer like to pick up according to the passage? A. Fallen leaves and used bags. B. Waste wood and waste bottles. C. Old books and broken toys. D. Empty boxes and plastic bags. 38. What does the underlined phrase “a piece of cake” mean in the passage? A. Something that looks like a cake. B. Something that is useful to people. C. Something that is really easy. D. Something that tastes delicious. 39. What is the type of the passage? A. Story. B. Speech. C. Ad. D. Email. 40. What is the best title of the passage? A. My Garden Full of Recycled Treasures B. A Special Hobby: Turning Waste into Useful Things C. How to Protect the Environment Easily D. Fun Activities with My Grandfather 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一封邮件，主要讲述作者一项特别的爱好 —— 捡拾废品，将废木料、空瓶子改造再利用，从中收获乐趣与成就感，同时倡导环保、废物再利用。 【37题详解】 根据第一段“And I especially enjoy collecting waste wood.”可知，作者喜欢收集废木料，根据第二段“I also like picking up bottles.”可知，作者也喜欢捡拾瓶子。 【38题详解】 根据第三段“Some people think it’s difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things”可知，前文提到有些人觉得发掘废品里隐藏的价值很难，but表转折，说明这件事对作者来说十分简单，“a piece of cake”意为“很容易的事”。 【39题详解】 文章以Dear Amy开头，文末有署名“Yours, Yang Jing”，符合邮件的文体格式，因此文体为email。 【40题详解】 全文围绕作者变废为宝的特殊爱好展开，A只侧重花园、C只侧重环保方法、D只侧重和爷爷的活动，内容片面，B能完整概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。 D Helping your children choose a hobby is very good for them.

If they prefer pop music, visit a singer’s website or take them to a concert.”，把这项爱好推向更深的层次。如果他们喜欢流行音乐，就去浏览歌手的官方网页，或者带他们去看演唱会。it指代上文提及的“孩子的爱好”，选项C“孩子的爱好”匹配指代内容。 【43题详解】 原文“Share a hobby with them...Spending family time doing fun things can make a healthy and nice relationship.”可知，与孩子共同培养爱好能改善家庭关系。 【44题详解】 画线句“Don’t push your children to choose hobbies that interest you.”意为“不要强迫孩子选择你感兴趣的爱好”，后文紧接着说“Let kids choose their own interests.”，这表明爱好应该符合孩子自身的兴趣，而不是父母的喜好。 E The 13th Shanghai Fairy Tale Festival was really wonderful!

A total of 126 people were killed and 188 others got injured. How terrible! If you’re indoors during an earthquake, here are some steps to protect yourself. Drop to the floor. Earthquakes always happen without much warning, so it’s advised that you drop to the floor as soon as an earthquake hits. Take cover. Get under a strong table or desk. If possible, stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蹲) in an inside corner of the building. Hold on. The ground may be shaking and objects could be falling. Hold on to whatever shelter (遮蔽物) you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you are unable to find a shelter to hide under, continue to keep your head protected with your arms. Remain inside. Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside. So remain inside until it’s safe to get out. 29. Where did the earthquake happen in the text? A. In Xizang. B. In Shanxi. C. In Zhejiang. D. In Sichuan. 30.

C Dear Amy, My special hobby is picking up rubbish. Yes, that’s right. And I especially enjoy collecting waste wood. These pieces of wood may not be wanted by others, but my grandfather and I can give them a new life. We love turning them into flower shelves, sunshades, and even swings. We place them in our garden and they make us very happy. They also give our garden a sense of design. I also like picking up bottles. These are usually empty bottles. We can repurpose (重新利用) them by making holes at the top and using them to water flowers. Of course there can be many other uses for these bottles. I find picking up these waste things very enjoyable. Some people think it’s difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things, but it is a piece of cake for me. I’m really good at turning these seemingly useless objects into useful resources. They can help us do many things and create a much cleaner environment. We are always encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. By doing these, we can not only create new things but also play our part in protecting the environment. My special hobby of recycling rubbish really brings me a lot of fun and a sense of achievement. Would you join me? Let’s do our part to help make the world a cleaner and better place! Yours, Yang Jing 37. What does the writer like to pick up according to the passage? A.

Teaching multimedia (多媒体) should not give off strong light and meet the needs of blue light protection. Schools should make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activities a day. As students, you also need to look after your eyes in a proper way. First, you have to pay more attention to your diet (饮食). Fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk are good for your eyes. Second, you must have enough sleep. This relaxes your eyes and gives them the rest they need. Next, it’s necessary for you to exercise your eyes every day. Last, you should treat your eyes correctly. For example, if you get something in your eyes, don’t start rubbing(揉) them. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or too bright sunlight because this would cause eye tiredness. Remember to use sunglasses to stop the sun from shining directly into your eyes. Eyes are the windows of the mind. Please protect them well. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
