【导语】本文讲的是五岁重病女孩Leah在医院想要紫色蜡笔却被告知只能用灰色蜡笔,她了解到医院因蜡笔一次性使用消耗大,无力为每位患儿持续提供新蜡笔。为了让等待检查的小病友拥有色彩、不再失落,Leah克服自身病痛,发动亲友筹款,为医院捐赠大量蜡笔,让病房充满欢乐与色彩。
【1题详解】
句意:我想给这只蝴蝶涂色。
根据“may I have a purple crayon”可知,Leah要紫色的蜡笔是为了给蝴蝶涂色,color作动词表示“给……上色、涂色”,对应后文蜡笔、涂色本;buy(购买)、catch(抓住)、save(拯救)和画画语境无关。
【2题详解】
句意:恐怕你只能用灰色蜡笔来画蝴蝶了。
根据“Sorry, but I can’t find one”可知,护士找不到紫色的蜡笔,没有彩色蜡笔只能画出没有色彩的灰色蝴蝶,grey(灰色的)符合语境;small(小的)、cheap(便宜的)、live(活的)无对应上下文线索。
【3题详解】
句意:医院给小病人们准备了涂色本,但蜡笔永远不够用。
前后分句存在转折:有本子,但是缺少蜡笔,but表转折;and(顺承)、so(因果)、if(假设)逻辑不符。
【4题详解】
句意:蜡笔只能使用一次,之后就必须被扔掉。
throw away意为“丢弃”,对应一次性使用、携带病菌不能重复使用;sold out(售罄)、paid for(支付)、passed by(路过)语义不通。
【5题详解】
句意:医院每天有很多新病人,实在负担不起给每个孩子都配新蜡笔。
afford意为“负担得起”,贴合医院经费不足的困境;cancel(取消)、trade(交易)、avoid(避免)无法搭配new crayons 表达采购压力。
【6题详解】
句意:Leah天生患有重病,经常来医院就诊。
hospital visits是固定搭配,意为“就医、医院探访”;rules(规则)、interviews(采访)、accidents(事故)不符合频繁看病的语境。
【7题详解】
句意:等待X光检查和治疗的过程会很无聊。
等待检查枯燥乏味,boring(无聊的)贴合患儿等候时低落的心情;caring(体贴的)、moving(感人的)、fascinating(迷人的)情感相反。
【8题详解】
句意:Leah计划为医院购买500盒蜡笔。
固定搭配for表对象,buy sth. for sb./sp.(为某人 / 某地购买某物);in、to、from 介词搭配错误。
【9题详解】
句意:她总是坐着轮椅到场,支持每一场筹款活动。
always(总是)体现Leah哪怕行动不便,也全程参与公益活动;never(从不)、suddenly(突然)、lastly(最后)和她热心付出的人设相悖。
【10题详解】
句意:候诊室里现在满是更开心的孩子,还有色彩鲜亮的画作!
蜡笔给孩子们带来快乐,happier(更快乐的)对应温暖治愈的结尾;smarter(更聪明的)、younger(更年幼的)、healthier(更健康的)不能体现蜡笔带来的情绪改变。

Every year on 5 December, the world celebrates World Soil Day, a time to be thankful to the amazing, life-giving world under our feet. Soil helps grow the food we eat, provides homes for millions of tiny animals, cleans our water and even helps fight climate change.
Soil is always changing. The soil cycle shows how soil is made and reused.
Under the surface of the ground, there’s a whole world busy with life! A single handful of soil can include quite a lot of microorganisms (微生物), which help keep soil airy, so roots can grow and water can run through. Without them, our gardens, farms and forests wouldn’t survive.
Healthy soil is like a strong support for life. It holds water after rainfall, prevents floods and stores important nutrients (营养) that plants need to grow. It also catches CO2 from the air. helping to slow down global warming.
When soil becomes unhealthy—because of over-farming, pollution or cutting down too many trees—it can lose its nutrients and turn dry. That means less food and weaker ecosystems.
Taking care of soil helps protect everything that depends on it—including us! Avoid throwing plastic or chemicals into the ground. Plant trees or flowers to stop soil from washing away in the rain. Every small action helps protect our planet’s soil—and that means helping every living thing on Earth.
16. Why do people celebrate World Soil Day?
A. To fight climate change. B. To provide homes for animals.
C. To improve water quality. D. To give thanks and care for soil
17. How does the soil become rich?
A. Wind, rain and ice always break rocks and soil.
B. Micro-organisms always help make the soil airy.
C. Micro-organisms recycle dead plants and animals.
D. The soil always gives food and nutrients to plants.
18. Which is the right picture for the meaning of roots in paragraph 3?
A. B. C. D.
19. What might happen if soil becomes unhealthy?
A. It will lead to over-farming. B. It will cause ecosystem problems.
C. It will catch CO2 from the air. D. Micro-organisms will increase fast.
20. What is the writer’s opinion in the last paragraph?
A. Plant trees and flowers in rainy days. B. Protecting soil helps all living things.
C. Soil is important for farmers and animals. D. Plastic and chemicals improve soil quality.

C
Scientists have discovered that two different kinds of sea animals—orcas (虎鲸) and dolphins—may be working together to hunt for salmon (三文鱼). Orcas and dolphins are both clever, but it’s unusual for two different kinds of animals to cooperate in this way.
Orcas, sometimes called “killer whales”, are the largest members of the dolphin family. Orcas are clever and strong, and are famous for hunting in groups. They normally eat salmon—large, strong fish that can grow to be 1 meter long or more. Pacific white - sided dolphins, however, usually hunt smaller fish, and don’t have the ability to catch salmon.
Researchers have often seen these orcas and dolphins near each other. Some people thought the dolphins might be using the orcas as protection against other orcas that sometimes eat dolphins. But the recent study suggests that there is more to it.
Scientists used drones (无人机), underwater microphones, and cameras to study the animals. They found that although orcas were the ones that actually caught the salmon, dolphins were often leading the chase (追赶).
Both animals send out sounds and use the echoes (回声) of those sounds to find objects. The researchers noticed that they took turns sending out clicking sounds for echolocation. The orcas may listen to the dolphins’ echoes to find the salmon. The dolphins use their speed and echolocation to find and chase salmon. The orcas follow the dolphins and use their strength to catch the salmon.
Such teamwork could help both: orcas get help finding and catching food and dolphins eat leftovers (剩余物) from the orcas’ meals. Normally, orcas keep other animals away from their food. But they don’t mind when the dolphins stay nearby when they are eating.
Not everyone is sure that the animals are working together. The scientists plan to continue their studies. One thing they want to research is whether orcas that work with dolphins have more success catching fish than orcas that hunt on their own.
21. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Orcas help dolphins find food. B. Orcas and dolphins may hunt together.
C. Orcas sometimes eat dolphins. D. Scientists study animals’ eating habits.
22. How did the scientists study the animals’ hunting behavior?
A. By training them in a laboratory. B. By reading old research reports.
C. By living with them in the ocean. D. By using special recording tools.
23. Why do orcas probably work with dolphins?
A. Dolphins can stay nearby while eating. B. Dolphins can catch the salmon for them.
C. Dolphins can find and chase salmon first. D. Dolphins can protect them while hunting.
24. What do dolphins get from this cooperation?
A. They get to eat leftover fish. B. They learn how to catch salmon.
C. They become stronger hunters. D. They are protected from all orcas.
25. What will scientists study next according to the passage?
A. Whether dolphins get successful experience. B. Whether orcas prefer hunting by themselves.
C. Whether other animals catch and eat salmon. D. Whether teamwork leads to more fish caught.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 24. A 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍科学家发现虎鲸与海豚会合作捕猎三文鱼,讲解二者的物种特点、协作捕猎的过程、双方各自获得的好处,同时说明科学家的观测手段与后续研究计划。
【21题详解】
文章首句提到“Scientists have discovered that two different kinds of sea animals—orcas and dolphins—may be working together to hunt for salmon.”,且全文围绕虎鲸和海豚协作捕猎三文鱼展开,这是文章核心主旨。
【22题详解】
第四段提到“Scientists used drones (无人机), underwater microphones, and cameras to study the animals.”,可知科学家使用无人机、水下麦克风、摄像头这类专业记录设备来观测动物捕猎行为。
【23题详解】
第五段提到“The dolphins use their speed and echolocation to find and chase salmon. The orcas follow the dolphins and use their strength to catch the salmon.”,可知海豚依靠速度和回声定位率先搜寻、追赶三文鱼,虎鲸借力抓捕,因此虎鲸会和海豚合作。
【24题详解】
第六段提到“orcas get help finding and catching food and dolphins eat leftovers (剩余物) from the orcas’ meals.”,可知海豚能吃到虎鲸吃剩的鱼肉,这是合作带给海豚的收益。
【25题详解】
文末提到“One thing they want to research is whether orcas that work with dolphins have more success catching fish than orcas that hunt on their own.”,可知科学家下一步会研究团队协作是否能让虎鲸捕获更多鱼。

Dear Patrick,
I’ve been feeling really upset. I have someone I always thought was my closest friend. We often hang out and laugh together. But lately, I have realized she never shares her personal thoughts or worries about study and life with me. ____26____ What should I do?
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
It’s normal to feel sad when you care about a friend but feel the friendship is not balanced. ____27____
You said you often hang out and laugh together, but your friend doesn’t share her personal worries. ____28____ Some people find it hard to talk about their feelings. They may be shy, afraid of being judged or used to solving problems on their own.
The best first step is to talk gently with her. You could say “____29____” Sometimes people don’t notice how their actions influence us until we speak up.
____30____ I have many friends I laugh with, but only a few who share real feelings. So if your friend stays private, she may just be a “fun friend”, which means you can build deeper friendships with others instead.
No matter what, you deserve (值得) friendships that make you feel understood and valued.
Pat

前文Pat说在乎朋友却感受不到平衡的友谊而难过是正常的,空处安抚Sarah,告诉她很多人都有相同经历。 D选项:Many people go through this, so you are not alone.承接上文安抚语句,缓解Sarah的焦虑,符合语境。
【28题详解】
前文点明好友不和Sarah倾诉烦恼,后文解释有些人难以开口表达情绪、性格害羞等原因。 C选项:This doesn’t always mean she doesn’t trust you.过渡句,先打消Sarah“朋友不信任自己”的顾虑,再阐述对方不愿倾诉的其他缘由,符合语境。
【29题详解】

阅读下面短文,完成41至43小题。 (共10分)
Four years ago, if you had told me that my weekends would be spent hiking through forests and up mountains, I would have laughed. My life centered on a fixed cycle: work, socialize indoors, sleep and repeat. The closest I got to nature was the view of the garden from my living room window. But all that changed when I came across hiking, quite by accident.
It started with a challenge from a friend—to join a hiking group for a day out. Hesitant (犹豫的), but curious, I agreed. The first hike was hard. I was out of breath and my muscles (肌肉) ached, but as I reached the trail’s (路线) end, something within me changed. The beautiful view of nature, the sense of achievement—it was nothing short of amazing.
So I decided to hike more, and in doing so, I noticed some changes. My body grew stronger. My stamina (耐力) improved, and those once-hard trails became easier. And my mind grew more relaxed. The stress of city life died down with each step. The “hiker’s high” became my new love.
I also discovered a community of hikers. Each hike was a chance to meet new people, share stories and form friendships. These weren’t just people to hike with; they were friends sharing the journey of life. What’s more, we do all this without having to connect to an electronic device (设备).
As my connection with nature deepened, so did my love for the environment. I found myself joining in environmental protection efforts, understanding that protecting these beautiful trails was a responsibility.
So now, as I tie my shoes for another hike, I feel a sense of excitement for the journey ahead and all it will offer.

Describing pictures is a useful skill for work, life and language exams.
For example, if you’re giving a presentation at work, you might need to describe a picture of a product, device or machine.
But what’s the best way to describe pictures in English? You can use our 4-part template (模板) for describing pictures known as SPAG: Scene, Position, Action, Guess.
This will help you give a great description.
1. Scene
First, describe the scene. For example:
→ The people are in an office.
→It’s a picture of a park with lots of people.
2. Position (on, in, under, behind, at the top of, in front of...)
Next, choose specific (明确的) areas in the picture to describe things. Use There is... There are... For example:
→ There are two cats on the right-hand side of the picture.
3. Action
After that, describe things that are happening in the picture. Use the Present Continuous tense. For example:
→The people on the playground are running.

Every year on 5 December, the world celebrates World Soil Day, a time to be thankful to the amazing, life-giving world under our feet. Soil helps grow the food we eat, provides homes for millions of tiny animals, cleans our water and even helps fight climate change.
Soil is always changing. The soil cycle shows how soil is made and reused.
Under the surface of the ground, there’s a whole world busy with life! A single handful of soil can include quite a lot of microorganisms (微生物), which help keep soil airy, so roots can grow and water can run through. Without them, our gardens, farms and forests wouldn’t survive.
Healthy soil is like a strong support for life. It holds water after rainfall, prevents floods and stores important nutrients (营养) that plants need to grow. It also catches CO2 from the air. helping to slow down global warming.
When soil becomes unhealthy—because of over-farming, pollution or cutting down too many trees—it can lose its nutrients and turn dry. That means less food and weaker ecosystems.
Taking care of soil helps protect everything that depends on it—including us! Avoid throwing plastic or chemicals into the ground. Plant trees or flowers to stop soil from washing away in the rain. Every small action helps protect our planet’s soil—and that means helping every living thing on Earth.
16. Why do people celebrate World Soil Day?
A. To fight climate change. B. To provide homes for animals.
C. To improve water quality. D. To give thanks and care for soil
17. How does the soil become rich?
A. Wind, rain and ice always break rocks and soil.
B. Micro-organisms always help make the soil airy.
C. Micro-organisms recycle dead plants and animals.
D. The soil always gives food and nutrients to plants.
18. Which is the right picture for the meaning of roots in paragraph 3?
A. B. C. D.
19. What might happen if soil becomes unhealthy?
A. It will lead to over-farming. B. It will cause ecosystem problems.
C. It will catch CO2 from the air. D. Micro-organisms will increase fast.
20. What is the writer’s opinion in the last paragraph?
A. Plant trees and flowers in rainy days. B. Protecting soil helps all living things.
C. Soil is important for farmers and animals. D. Plastic and chemicals improve soil quality.
C
Scientists have discovered that two different kinds of sea animals—orcas (虎鲸) and dolphins—may be working together to hunt for salmon (三文鱼). Orcas and dolphins are both clever, but it’s unusual for two different kinds of animals to cooperate in this way.
Orcas, sometimes called “killer whales”, are the largest members of the dolphin family. Orcas are clever and strong, and are famous for hunting in groups. They normally eat salmon—large, strong fish that can grow to be 1 meter long or more. Pacific white - sided dolphins, however, usually hunt smaller fish, and don’t have the ability to catch salmon.
Researchers have often seen these orcas and dolphins near each other. Some people thought the dolphins might be using the orcas as protection against other orcas that sometimes eat dolphins. But the recent study suggests that there is more to it.
Scientists used drones (无人机), underwater microphones, and cameras to study the animals. They found that although orcas were the ones that actually caught the salmon, dolphins were often leading the chase (追赶).
Both animals send out sounds and use the echoes (回声) of those sounds to find objects. The researchers noticed that they took turns sending out clicking sounds for echolocation. The orcas may listen to the dolphins’ echoes to find the salmon. The dolphins use their speed and echolocation to find and chase salmon. The orcas follow the dolphins and use their strength to catch the salmon.
Such teamwork could help both: orcas get help finding and catching food and dolphins eat leftovers (剩余物) from the orcas’ meals. Normally, orcas keep other animals away from their food. But they don’t mind when the dolphins stay nearby when they are eating.
Not everyone is sure that the animals are working together. The scientists plan to continue their studies. One thing they want to research is whether orcas that work with dolphins have more success catching fish than orcas that hunt on their own.
21. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Orcas help dolphins find food. B. Orcas and dolphins may hunt together.
C. Orcas sometimes eat dolphins. D. Scientists study animals’ eating habits.
22. How did the scientists study the animals’ hunting behavior?
A. By training them in a laboratory. B. By reading old research reports.
C. By living with them in the ocean. D. By using special recording tools.
23. Why do orcas probably work with dolphins?
A. Dolphins can stay nearby while eating. B. Dolphins can catch the salmon for them.
C. Dolphins can find and chase salmon first. D. Dolphins can protect them while hunting.
24. What do dolphins get from this cooperation?
A. They get to eat leftover fish. B. They learn how to catch salmon.
C. They become stronger hunters. D. They are protected from all orcas.
25. What will scientists study next according to the passage?
A. Whether dolphins get successful experience. B. Whether orcas prefer hunting by themselves.
C. Whether other animals catch and eat salmon. D. Whether teamwork leads to more fish caught.

Dear Patrick,
I’ve been feeling really upset. I have someone I always thought was my closest friend. We often hang out and laugh together. But lately, I have realized she never shares her personal thoughts or worries about study and life with me. ____26____ What should I do?
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
It’s normal to feel sad when you care about a friend but feel the friendship is not balanced. ____27____
You said you often hang out and laugh together, but your friend doesn’t share her personal worries. ____28____ Some people find it hard to talk about their feelings. They may be shy, afraid of being judged or used to solving problems on their own.
The best first step is to talk gently with her. You could say “____29____” Sometimes people don’t notice how their actions influence us until we speak up.
____30____ I have many friends I laugh with, but only a few who share real feelings. So if your friend stays private, she may just be a “fun friend”, which means you can build deeper friendships with others instead.
No matter what, you deserve (值得) friendships that make you feel understood and valued.
Pat

This is not magic—it’s physics! The air pressure outside the glass is higher than the pressure inside, which presses the cardboard tightly (紧紧地) against the glass and holds the water in place.
The experiment is designed ____37____ (show) how powerful air pressure can be. Last week, our class tried it, and everyone succeeded. We also discussed ____38____ the water doesn’t fall and how air pressure works in our daily lives. During the process, many ____39____ (student) favorite part was the exciting moment when the glass is turned over.

Four years ago, if you had told me that my weekends would be spent hiking through forests and up mountains, I would have laughed. My life centered on a fixed cycle: work, socialize indoors, sleep and repeat. The closest I got to nature was the view of the garden from my living room window. But all that changed when I came across hiking, quite by accident.
It started with a challenge from a friend—to join a hiking group for a day out. Hesitant (犹豫的), but curious, I agreed. The first hike was hard. I was out of breath and my muscles (肌肉) ached, but as I reached the trail’s (路线) end, something within me changed. The beautiful view of nature, the sense of achievement—it was nothing short of amazing.
So I decided to hike more, and in doing so, I noticed some changes. My body grew stronger. My stamina (耐力) improved, and those once-hard trails became easier. And my mind grew more relaxed. The stress of city life died down with each step. The “hiker’s high” became my new love.
I also discovered a community of hikers. Each hike was a chance to meet new people, share stories and form friendships. These weren’t just people to hike with; they were friends sharing the journey of life. What’s more, we do all this without having to connect to an electronic device (设备).
As my connection with nature deepened, so did my love for the environment. I found myself joining in environmental protection efforts, understanding that protecting these beautiful trails was a responsibility.
So now, as I tie my shoes for another hike, I feel a sense of excitement for the journey ahead and all it will offer.
