They carry more 11 than the words themselves. In Chinese culture, we also have lots of similar useful expressions like” drinking ink (墨水) “and” An inch (寸) of time is worth an inch of gold”. “Drinking ink” is a common expression to show that a person is 12 . Is there anyone who really drinks ink? It could be true in Chinese history. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, those who 13 very badly in the exam would be punished by drinking one liter (升) of ink. Even if they were found to have poor handwriting or make up something terrible, they would be taken into a special room to drink ink. The rule was accepted by the following dynasties. Nowadays, this expression is 14 used to describe people’s ways of receiving education or their level of education. For example, “drinking foreign ink” means one has studied overseas. “Drinking little ink” means a 15 level of education. “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold” means that an inch of time has the same 16 as an inch of gold. It is also the first half of a saying, “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of time cannot be bought 17 an inch of gold”. In ancient times, time was measured (测量) by inches because people used the sundial as a time-keeping tool. It is made of a flat and 18 plate on which time degrees are shown. As the sun moves from rising to setting, the length of the gnomon’s shadow changes from long to short and short to long. This is 19 the sundial tells time. Language cannot be separated from culture. Language learning can help us 20 understand the cultures behind the countries and communicate more with the people from different countries. ( ) 11.

A. long B. round C. square D.short ( ) 19. A. how B. when C. why D.what ( ) 20. A. harder B. less C. better D.worse 【主旨大意】 本文主要介绍了英语和汉语中类似“喝墨水”和“一寸光阴一寸金”等承载着超出文字字面意义的表达及其背后的文化含义，强调了语言与文化之间的紧密联系。 11.C【11题详解】考查名词辨析。句意：它们所承载的意义超过了词语本身。这些习语所承载的意义远不止于字面本身，meanings“意义”符合语境。suggestions“建议”、chances“机会”、instructions操作指南，不符合。 12.B【12题详解】考查动词辨析。句意：“喝墨水”是一个常见的表达，表示一个人受过教育。根据后文介绍“喝墨水”和受教育的关系，可知这个表达原本用来形容人有学问或受过教育，educated“有学问的、受过教育的”符合语义。 13.A【13题详解】考查动词辨析。句意：在北齐时期，那些在考试中表现很差的人会被惩罚喝一升墨水。此处指在考试中表现很差的人会受惩罚，performed“表现”符合，perform badly in the exam“考试表现差”。planned“计划”、guessed“猜测”、required要求，不符合。 14.C【14题详解】考查副词辨析。句意：如今，这个表达被广泛用来描述人们接受教育的方式或他们的教育水平。现在这个表达被广泛用来描述人们的受教育程度，widely“广泛地”符合使用语境。quietly“安静地”、quickly“快速地”、wisely聪明地，不符合。 15.A【15题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意：“喝很少墨水”意味着教育水平低。“喝很少墨水”对应就是受教育水平低，low“低的”符合逻辑。basic“基本的”、normal“正常的”、careless粗心大意的，不符合。 16.B【16题详解】考查名词辨析。句意：“一寸光阴一寸金”意味着一寸时间和一寸黄金有相同的价值。“一寸光阴一寸金”的含义就是时间和黄金有相同的价值，value“价值”符合语义。size“尺寸”、standard“标准”、purpose意图，不符合。 17.C【17题详解】考查介词辨析。句意：它也是谚语“一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴”的前半部分。此处指寸金买不到寸光阴，buy sth with sth“用某物买某物”。 18.B【18题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意：它是由一个扁平的圆形板制成的，上面显示时间度数。结合图片和常识可知，日晷的表盘是圆形的，round“圆形的”正确。 19.A【19题详解】考查疑问词辨析。句意：这就是日晷如何报时。上文介绍了日晷通过影子变化计时的方法，此处表示“这就是日晷如何报时的”，how“如何”表方式，符合语境。when“何时”、why“为什么”、what什么，不符合。 20.C【20题详解】考查副词辨析。句意：语言学习可以帮助我们更好地理解国家背后的文化，并与来自不同国家的人进行更多交流。语言学习帮助我们更好地理解不同国家的文化，better“更好地”符合句意逻辑。harder“更努力地”、less“更少地”、worse更差的，不符合。 三、阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A What would you paint if someone asked you to tell them about China?

There, she used fun pictures to tell Indonesian students the meanings of different Chinese characters. ⑷ She even developed a long-term friendship with one of her “fans”. “People around the world speak different languages, but art is the common language that we can all understand,” said Mao. “To increase understanding and share ideas—that’s what I love most about art.” ( ) 21.

Serneels first came to China in 1999. About 15 years ago, he visited Hewan Village, which lies in the mountainous Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County (酉阳土家族苗族自治县). And as he recalls, he has returned to this village about five times. Having seen the great changes that have taken place in this Tujia village over the years, Serneels said, “What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here.” During their visit, the students and professors hiked foggy hills to admire the village’s natural beauty. They also learned about the local farming traditions, getting hands-on farming experience while involved in an in-depth cultural exchange. Besides the beautiful views, the special way the Tujia buildings were built caught the foreign visitors’ eyes. Bai Kaigui, 76, a master builder of this style, first showed a traditional way of building called mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) that uses only wooden joints. He then explained that the buildings are raised above the ground on wood. This building style reduces contact with the ground, which is very important to keep the wood dry and protects the wooden house in the area’s special climate. “It’s unbelievable to see this way of building houses without using nails,” said a student, Constantin Goffard. He thought that this tradition must be kept because it was a special way of building with old engineering wisdom behind it. In the end, Serneels expressed his hope that more young Europeans would visit China for real dialogues and the discovery of the country’s stories. He believes that seeing the country with their own eyes is the best way to truly understand its culture and people. ( ) 26. Why does Serneels bring students to Hewan Village? A. Because he wants them to help the locals with farming work. B. Because he was touched by the efforts to protect traditions there. C. Because he plans to teach them how to build houses. D. Because he wants them to admire the village’s natural beauty. ( ) 27. According to the passage, which picture shows the Tujia building? A. B. C. D. ( ) 28. Which sentence uses “contact” with the same meaning as the underlined word? contact /’kɒntækt/ n. ①接触 ②联系，联络 ③ (社会) 关系 v. (通过电话或写电子邮件等) 联系 A. For more information, contact the city’s tourism office. B. Have you kept in contact with any of your friends from college? C. I don’t really know how she got the job, but I think her mother has contacts. D. Don’t let that glue come into contact with your skin. ( ) 29.What does the underlined word “this tradition” refer to? A. This way of building houses without using nails. B.The area’s special climate. C.The discovery of the country’s stories. D.The best way to truly understand its culture and people. ( ) 30. What can we infer from the text? A. The Belgian group was deeply interested in Tujia culture. B. The locals decided to build more traditional houses for tourists. C. Serneels values real-life experience over book learning. D. Constantin Goffard had seen many similar buildings before. 【主旨大意】 本文主要介绍了比利时师生代表团在重庆酉阳土家族苗族自治县河湾村的访问经历，包括当地的自然风光、土家族传统文化、榫卯结构的建筑工艺，以及代表团团长Serneels对中国保护传统文化努力的赞赏。 26.B【26题详解】由第二段“What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here”可知，Serneels带学生来河湾村是因为他被当地保护传统的努力所感动。 27.C【27题详解】由第三段“the buildings are raised above the ground on wood”以及“building houses without using nails”可知，土家族建筑的特点是建筑被木头支撑，使其高出地面、不用钉子，C项图片符合文中描述。 28.D【28题详解】“contact”出现在第三段“reduces contact with the ground”，句中contact是名词，意为 “接触”（物理上的相互触碰）。A项句中“contact”是动词，意为“（通过电话、邮件等）联系”；B项“contact”是名词，意为“联系、联络”，指人与人之间的沟通往来；C项“contacts”是名词复数，意为“（社会）关系、人脉”；D项“contact”是名词，意为 “接触”（物理上的触碰），指胶水与皮肤之间的接触，与原文“contact”意思相同。 29.A【29题详解】根据“It’s unbelievable to see this way of building houses without using nails,”可知答案。 30.C【30题详解】由第二段“What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here”以及最后一段“seeing the country with their own eyes is the best way to truly understand its culture and people”可知，Serneels重视亲身体验而非书本学习。 C On March 3rd, 2026, Chinese people celebrated the Lantern Festival with a big surprise— the rare “red moon”.

We can’t eat, wear or live without it. So why do people want it? Think about the saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get. Suppose that you took a sheep to a market in China in the past, and you needed to buy a piece of cloth. How did you pay for it? The sheep was too valuable, but you could trade sheep milk for the object you wanted. This is called bartering (物物交换). People could hand two shells (贝壳) instead of goat milk to the seller, which was the first system of currency (货币) in China. This was a much easier way to buy and sell things. Shells were not heavy and people could take them without any effort. The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa. Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC. They were different in shape, size and worth. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century. The earliest European paper money appeared in Sweden at the beginning of the 17th century. In today’s global economy (全球经济), exchanging money electronically (电子地) is common. Many people use a bank card. It is easy to spend money today, but saving money is important. When you are considering spending money, think of its necessity twice. 36. Why is money considered valuable? ________________________________________________________________ 37. Where was the idea of currency popular? ________________________________________________________________ 38. When did metal coins first appear in China? ________________________________________________________________ 39. What are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century? ________________________________________________________________ 40. What do you think of money? How do you spend money in your life? ________________________________________________________________ 【主旨大意】 本文主要介绍了货币的发展史，包括物物交换、早期货币、金属货币、纸币、电子货币。文章旨在引导学生了解货币的本质、演变和影响，正确看待货币价值，从而培养理性消费的观念。 36. Because it is hard to get. 【36题详解】根据“Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get.”可知，钱被认为是有价值的，因为它很难得到。故填Because it is hard to get. 37. In Thailand, India and Africa. 【37题详解】根据“The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa.”可知，货币的想法在泰国、印度和非洲流行。故填In Thailand, India and Africa. 38. Around 1,000 BC. 【38题详解】根据“Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC.”可知，金属硬币最早出现在公元前1000年左右的中国。故填Around 1,000 BC. 39. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. 【39题详解】根据“Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century.”可知，携带硬币很重且难以储存，这是10世纪中国开始使用纸币的两个原因。故填Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. 40.

They carry more 11 than the words themselves. In Chinese culture, we also have lots of similar useful expressions like” drinking ink (墨水) “and” An inch (寸) of time is worth an inch of gold”. “Drinking ink” is a common expression to show that a person is 12 . Is there anyone who really drinks ink? It could be true in Chinese history. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, those who 13 very badly in the exam would be punished by drinking one liter (升) of ink. Even if they were found to have poor handwriting or make up something terrible, they would be taken into a special room to drink ink. The rule was accepted by the following dynasties. Nowadays, this expression is 14 used to describe people’s ways of receiving education or their level of education. For example, “drinking foreign ink” means one has studied overseas. “Drinking little ink” means a 15 level of education. “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold” means that an inch of time has the same 16 as an inch of gold. It is also the first half of a saying, “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of time cannot be bought 17 an inch of gold”. In ancient times, time was measured (测量) by inches because people used the sundial as a time-keeping tool. It is made of a flat and 18 plate on which time degrees are shown. As the sun moves from rising to setting, the length of the gnomon’s shadow changes from long to short and short to long. This is 19 the sundial tells time. Language cannot be separated from culture. Language learning can help us 20 understand the cultures behind the countries and communicate more with the people from different countries. ( ) 11.

For 12-year-old Mao Mofei from Chengdu, the answer is the colorful connection between the traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. ⑴ Several years ago, Mao’s painting, The Future Is Coming, was shown at the International Youth Art Invitation Exhibition (展览) in Florence, Italy. Lots of people like her picture. In it, you can see cute pandas, Sichuan Opera and old houses with Chinese styles. ⑵ You can also see many fantastic science elements, like the rockets and little astronauts in the sky, flying cars, sky trains and smart robots. Mao put the traditional culture of her hometown and future technology together. “My picture shows my ideas of what my hometown Chengdu will be like in the future and I want to show the beauty and power of China to the world”. ⑶ Mao started to learn painting from an early age. The paper and brushes not only develop her imagination skills but also help her to build friendships. When Mao was in the second grade, she got a chance to visit an Indonesian (印度尼西亚的) school. There, she used fun pictures to tell Indonesian students the meanings of different Chinese characters. ⑷ She even developed a long-term friendship with one of her “fans”. “People around the world speak different languages, but art is the common language that we can all understand,” said Mao. “To increase understanding and share ideas—that’s what I love most about art.” ( ) 21.

What’s the best title for the text? A. Showing Tradition in Paintings B. Sharing China through Art C. Making Friends with Foreigners D. Learning Technology for the Future B Greeted with lively folk songs and homemade rice wine by locals in traditional clothes, 19 Belgian (比利时的) professors and students felt the warmth of Chongqing and were deeply interested in the colorful culture of the Tujia people. “People and nature as well as the cultural environment here are amazing,” said Francois Serneels, the leader of the tour group. Serneels first came to China in 1999. About 15 years ago, he visited Hewan Village, which lies in the mountainous Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County (酉阳土家族苗族自治县). And as he recalls, he has returned to this village about five times. Having seen the great changes that have taken place in this Tujia village over the years, Serneels said, “What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here.” During their visit, the students and professors hiked foggy hills to admire the village’s natural beauty. They also learned about the local farming traditions, getting hands-on farming experience while involved in an in-depth cultural exchange. Besides the beautiful views, the special way the Tujia buildings were built caught the foreign visitors’ eyes. Bai Kaigui, 76, a master builder of this style, first showed a traditional way of building called mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) that uses only wooden joints. He then explained that the buildings are raised above the ground on wood. This building style reduces contact with the ground, which is very important to keep the wood dry and protects the wooden house in the area’s special climate. “It’s unbelievable to see this way of building houses without using nails,” said a student, Constantin Goffard. He thought that this tradition must be kept because it was a special way of building with old engineering wisdom behind it. In the end, Serneels expressed his hope that more young Europeans would visit China for real dialogues and the discovery of the country’s stories. He believes that seeing the country with their own eyes is the best way to truly understand its culture and people. ( ) 26. Why does Serneels bring students to Hewan Village? A. Because he wants them to help the locals with farming work. B. Because he was touched by the efforts to protect traditions there. C. Because he plans to teach them how to build houses. D. Because he wants them to admire the village’s natural beauty. ( ) 27. According to the passage, which picture shows the Tujia building? A. B. C. D. ( ) 28. Which sentence uses “contact” with the same meaning as the underlined word? contact /’kɒntækt/ n. ①接触 ②联系，联络 ③ (社会) 关系 v. (通过电话或写电子邮件等) 联系 A. For more information, contact the city’s tourism office. B. Have you kept in contact with any of your friends from college? C. I don’t really know how she got the job, but I think her mother has contacts. D. Don’t let that glue come into contact with your skin. ( ) 29.What does the underlined word “this tradition” refer to? A. This way of building houses without using nails. B.The area’s special climate. C.The discovery of the country’s stories. D.The best way to truly understand its culture and people. ( ) 30. What can we infer from the text? A.

Constantin Goffard had seen many similar buildings before. C On March 3rd, 2026, Chinese people celebrated the Lantern Festival with a big surprise— the rare “red moon”.

Think about the saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get. Suppose that you took a sheep to a market in China in the past, and you needed to buy a piece of cloth. How did you pay for it? The sheep was too valuable, but you could trade sheep milk for the object you wanted. This is called bartering (物物交换). People could hand two shells (贝壳) instead of goat milk to the seller, which was the first system of currency (货币) in China. This was a much easier way to buy and sell things. Shells were not heavy and people could take them without any effort. The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa. Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC. They were different in shape, size and worth. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons that the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century. The earliest European paper money appeared in Sweden at the beginning of the 17th century. In today’s global economy (全球经济), exchanging money electronically (电子地) is common. Many people use a bank card. It is easy to spend money today, but saving money is important. When you are considering spending money, think of its necessity twice. 36. Why is money considered valuable? ________________________________________________________________ 37.
