The meeting room is too tiny to hold hundreds of people. A. noisy B. dirty C. small D. dark 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：会议室太小了，容纳不下数百人。 noisy吵闹的；dirty脏的；small小的；dark黑暗的。“too...to”意为“太……以至于不能……”。此处表示会议室太小，容纳不下数百人，tiny意为“极小的”，与small意思相近。 2. The little boy hid behind a tree quietly, so nobody knew where he was. A. taught himself B. enjoyed himself C. dressed himself D. covered himself 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：那个小男孩静静地躲在树后，所以没人知道他在哪里。 taught himself自学；enjoyed himself玩得开心；dressed himself自己穿衣服；covered himself把自己遮蔽起来。后半句“so nobody knew where he was”没人知道他的位置，说明他把自己藏起来了。hid意为“隐藏”，与covered himself语义呼应。 3. The sky turned dark, and rain began quickly. A. exactly B. suddenly C. smoothly D. currently 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：天空变暗了，雨开始突然下了起来。 exactly确切地；suddenly突然地；smoothly顺利地；currently目前。根据“The sky turned dark”可知天气状况突变，推测雨是突然开始下的。应填suddenly。 4. AI robots can help correct any grammar errors in your writing. A. rules B. mistakes C. notes D. skills 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：AI 机器人可以帮助纠正你写作中的任何语法错误。 rules规则；mistakes错误；notes笔记；skills技能。结合句意可知此处指纠正语法错误，画线单词errors意为“错误”，与mistakes同义。 5. He held out a present excitedly and gave it to his wife. A. cared about B. forgot about C. worked out D. took out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他兴奋地拿出一份礼物给了他的妻子。 cared about关心；forgot about忘记；worked out解决；took out拿出。根据“gave it to his wife”可知，题干中划线短语held out在这里的含义是“拿出、递出”，表示“拿出，取出”礼物的含义，以便送给妻子，took out与划线短语表意最为接近。 二、语法选择（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In ancient China, there was an emperor and his queen.

The house was super quiet and the day seemed extremely long. Dad tried hard to be cheerful, but even Lucy, the family dog, seemed sad. “Hey, Peter. Let’s have a game night!” “I don’t really feel like playing our usual board games without Mami.” said Peter. Usually, the whole family played together. Dad thought for a moment, then hurried downstairs. Peter heard the sound of moving boxes. He felt a little sorry—Dad was trying so hard to cheer him up, but Peter wasn’t in the mood. Soon Dad returned with a small box. “Komikan,” the cover read. “It’s a game for two people, and it comes from Chile, where your grandparents live,” he said. “My father taught me this game when I was a boy—it is very special to me.” Peter grew curious. “Can you teach me?” Dad gave a thumbs-up and opened the box. He took out a game board with a triangular pattern on it. “One plays as a puma, the other as twelve dogs. The puma wins by capturing nine dogs; the dogs win by cornering the puma on the board.” “Puma—like the wild cat?” “Exactly.” It took Peter a little while to learn the rules, but he soon won as the puma. “I won!” he cheered, dancing happily. “Wait, Peter, it is not over yet even though you won as the puma. Now we change sides—you play as the dogs. If you win again, you’re the champion.” “Whaaat? Okay, Dad, let’s go—I will be the champion!” Peter said playfully. Dad laughed heartily. As they started the second half of their game, Peter smiled. His Saturday didn’t feel so sad anymore. 26. Why wasn’t Peter happy that Saturday? A. His family dog Lucy was so sad. B. His mom wasn’t at home with him. C. He thought his father was a boring player. D. He didn’t like playing the usual board games. 27. How did Peter’s dad make him happy? A.

Family activities can turn sadness into happiness. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. C 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了周六Peter因为妈妈很晚才能回家感到闷闷不乐，爸爸拿出一款来自智利的特色桌游陪他游玩，这场亲子游戏让他不再难过。 【26题详解】 第一段指出“Saturday wasn’t a happy day for Peter—his mom wouldn’t be home until eight”，说明Peter不开心是因为妈妈八点才回家，不能陪他。 【27题详解】 文中指出“Komikan,” the cover read. “It’s a game for two people, and it comes from Chile, where your grandparents live,” he said”，说明爸爸拿出源自智利的双人桌游 Komikan，和Peter一起游玩，让他心情好转。 【28题详解】 文中指出“Wait, Peter, it is not over yet even though you won as the puma”，结合上下文，Peter刚以美洲狮身份取胜，爸爸告知这场游戏还没有结束，需要互换角色再战一轮，因此it指代这场游戏。 【29题详解】 文中指出“The puma wins by capturing nine dogs; the dogs win by cornering the puma on the board”，“Now we change sides—you play as the dogs. If you win again, you’re the champion”，说明Peter第一轮操控美洲狮抓到9只狗获胜。互换角色后，他操控猎犬再次困住美洲狮，两场连胜才能成为总冠军。 【30题详解】 最后一段明确指出“As they started the second half of their game, Peter smiled. His Saturday didn’t feel so sad anymore”，说明Peter原本因妈妈不在感到难过，父子共同参与家庭桌游活动，驱散了低落情绪。故事主旨：家庭活动能够将悲伤转变为快乐。 (B) Guillermo González Camarena, a Mexican inventor, was born in 1917. As a child, he loved building things. He made electric toys when he was young. By age 12, he had built a radio with spare parts. At 13, he began studying engineering. He was interested in a new technology of his time: television. Television works by sending pictures and sound to a screen using electrical signals. The first moving images were sent to TVs in the 1920s. Few people had TVs then, but many knew TV would be an important way to learn about the world. Early televisions had many limitations. They could only show black-and-white images, not color ones. Because of this, many inventors worked to solve these problems. González Camarena was one of the first with a solution. In 1940, he made a “tri-chromatic” (three-color) device, which used three colors: red, blue, and green. When it was connected to a black-and-white TV, people could see color images. The invention was a huge success. But the device was very expensive to make. He wanted everyone to have color TV, so he kept on working to make it cost less. By the early 1960s, he invented a cheaper way to show color on TV. He called it the “Simplified Bi-color System (SBCS).” It cost much less to produce. Starting in 1965, many SBCS TVs were made and sold in Mexico. González Camarena also believed that TV was important to educate children. His ideas helped create Mexico’s first educational TV network, “Telesecundaria,” which is still used today. Guillermo González Camarena passed away on April 18, 1965. Today, he is remembered as one of Mexico’s greatest inventors. 31. Why did González Camarena invent a tri-chromatic device? A. TVs were not perfect to send sound. B. TVs didn’t help educate children then. C. TVs were too expensive for people to own. D. TVs could only show black-and-white images. 32. What does the underlined word “limitations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Special programs. B. Weak points. C. Unclear images. D. Loud sounds. 33. What was González Camarena’s view on television? A. It should help create TV network. B. Rich people should make it cheaper. C. It should be widely used and educational. D. There was no need to improve its technology. 34. What do you think of González Camarena according to the passage? A. A creative and caring inventor. B. A clever and friendly educator. C. A grateful and curious inventor. D. A smart and successful educator. 35. Where can we probably find this article? A. Great Inventors in History B. How Network Works C. Television User Guide D. The History of Television 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍墨西哥发明家Guillermo González Camarena的成长经历，讲述他不断钻研，发明色彩显示设备推动彩色电视发展，还助力打造墨西哥教育电视网络的故事。 【31题详解】 根据第三段“Early televisions had many limitations. They could only show black-and-white images, not color ones. Because of this, many inventors worked to solve these problems.”以及第四段“González Camarena was one of the first with a solution.”可知，早期电视只能显示黑白图像，这是主要局限，Camarena发明三色装置是为了解决这个问题。 【32题详解】 根据第三段划线词后的句子“They could only show black-and-white images, not color ones.”可知，这是在说明早期电视的不足之处。因此“limitations”意为“局限性”或“缺点”，与Weak points意思相近。 【33题详解】 根据第五段“He wanted everyone to have color TV”可知他希望电视被广泛使用；根据第七段“González Camarena also believed that TV was important to educate children.”可知他认为电视应具有教育意义。综合可知他认为电视应被广泛使用且具有教育性。 【34题详解】 通读全文可知，Camarena发明了彩色电视装置，体现了他的创造性（creative）；他希望每个人都能拥有彩色电视并重视儿童教育，体现了他的关怀之心（caring）；文章最后提到他被视为伟大的发明家（inventor）。 【35题详解】 本文主要介绍了墨西哥发明家Guillermo González Camarena的生平、发明成就及其理念，属于人物传记类文章。因此最可能出现在“历史上的伟大发明家”（Great Inventors in History）这类栏目或书籍中。 (C) Today, humans are the main species on Earth, but if we go back millions of years, dinosaurs ruled the planet. They remained the most important living things for about 60 million years — much longer than humans have lived. Dinosaurs died out because of something unknown long before the first humans appeared. Back then, the Earth looked very different. Many scientists believe that all the continents were joined together as one big land. Over millions of years, these continents slowly moved apart. This movement formed the world we see today. That’s why dinosaur fossils are found everywhere. The climate was also warmer, with little temperature change. There were no clear seasons like we have now. Dinosaurs did not live alone on Earth. They lived with many other animals. On land, there were small early mammals, flying animals, and other reptiles (e.g., crocodiles and lizards) — many still live today. In the oceans, there were many fish, sharks, and shellfish. There were also lots of plants everywhere. These plants provided enough food for all the animals and made them live a peaceful life in nature. Why did the dinosaurs die out? There are many guesses, but no one knows the exact answer. Some scientists think a huge rock from space hit the Earth. Others believe that big volcanoes erupted and changed the climate. This mystery makes dinosaurs even more interesting to us now. 36. What can we learn about humans and dinosaurs millions of years ago? A. Dinosaurs and humans never lived on Earth together. B. Human activities caused the dinosaurs’ disappearance. C. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a shorter time than humans have. D. Humans and dinosaurs lived together on Earth for a short time. 37. Why are the dinosaur fossils found everywhere according to the passage? A. People moved the fossils around. B. The continents moved slowly apart. C. Dinosaurs travelled to different continents. D. The climate change formed different fossils. 38. What was the Earth’s climate like in the dinosaurs’ time? A. It was much colder with longer winters. B. It was similar to today, just a little warmer. C. It was warmer and did not have clear seasons. D. It always changed and often had bad weather. 39. Why does the writer mention “crocodiles and lizards” in paragraph 3? A. To tell us dinosaurs looked very similar to these animals. B. To introduce what animals in the dinosaurs’ time looked like. C. To explain that the climate then was helpful to these animals. D. To show that some animals in the dinosaurs’ time are still alive. 40. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Earth’s Climate B. Dinosaur Fossils Worldwide C. Dinosaur Disappearance Mystery D. Dinosaurs and Their Ancient World 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍恐龙生存的远古地球环境、同期生物与恐龙灭绝的各类推测。 【36题详解】 第一段提到：“Dinosaurs died out... long before the first humans appeared.”，说明恐龙灭绝远早于人类出现，二者不曾共存。 【37题详解】 第二段提到：“these continents slowly moved apart. That’s why dinosaur fossils are found everywhere.”，说明大陆缓慢分离是化石遍布各地的原因。 【38题详解】 第二段提到：“The climate was also warmer... There were no clear seasons like we have now.”，说明当时气候更温暖，无分明四季。 【39题详解】 第三段提到：“other reptiles (e.g., crocodiles and lizards) — many still live today.”，举例证明恐龙时代的部分生物至今依然存在。 【40题详解】 全文依次讲恐龙统治地球、远古地球、同期生物、灭绝猜想，因此“恐龙与它们的远古世界”可以概括全文主旨。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 How to Train Your Brain to Enjoy Doing Hard Things Is your brain acting like a lazy cat when it’s time to do homework or practice piano? ____41____ But here’s a secret: you can train your brain to ENJOY it. Let me show you how! ____42____ If you need to clean your room, race the clock. Set a timer and see if you can finish before it rings. Your brain will get so excited about “winning” that it will forget the task is hard! Think of yourself as a superhero developing new powers. When math problems seem too hard, you’re actually building your “problem-solving power.” ____43____ After finishing something difficult, don’t just move on — celebrate! Do a little happy dance, give yourself a high-five, or tell your parents about your achievement. ____44____ Remember, training your brain is like leveling up in a video game.

Celebrating makes your brain look forward to the next challenge. C. But soon, you’ll be having fun and ready for your next challenge! D. Your brain loves fun, so why not make difficult things feel like playing? E. Difficult tasks make your brain stronger, just like exercise builds your muscles. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. E 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几种训练大脑、主动享受困难任务的实用方法，通过趣味化、自我鼓励、类比想象等方式，让我们不再畏惧难事。 【41题详解】 前句问“到了做作业、练钢琴的时候，你的大脑是不是像懒猫一样推脱？”，后句转折“但有个秘诀：你可以训练大脑享受难事”。A选项“Don’t worry — every brain tries to avoid hard work!”承接上文大脑偷懒的现象，自然引出后文的解决办法。 【42题详解】 后文举例“打扫房间可以和闹钟比赛，让大脑享受‘获胜’的乐趣”，核心是把难事变得像玩乐。D选项“Your brain loves fun, so why not make difficult things feel like playing?”总起本段内容。 【43题详解】 前文说“做数学难题是在锻炼自己的解题能力”，E选项“Difficult tasks make your brain stronger, just like exercise builds your muscles.”承接“锻炼能力”这个比喻，逻辑连贯。 【44题详解】 前文说“完成难事之后要庆祝”，B选项“Celebrating makes your brain look forward to the next challenge.”承接“庆祝”这个做法，说明庆祝的作用。 【45题详解】 前文说“一开始可能很有挑战性”，C选项“But soon, you’ll be having fun and ready for your next challenge!”形成转折，呼应后文“准备激活大脑开启训练”。 第三节 回答问题（共5题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读文章，回答问题，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Most people dislike Mondays. But Carl loves Mondays. That’s because Monday is the story day at the library! On story day, Carl sits in a circle with other kids. Everyone is excited. They smile. The storyteller says ssssshhhh! The story begins. Everyone listens. Carl likes listening to the stories. But the storybooks he heard are only in English. He wishes some books with words in Spanish, too. Carl knows Spanish words best. Those are the words his family uses at home. Carl wonders if storybooks come in both English and Spanish. But he feels too shy to ask. One Monday, Carl found a Spanish-English book at the library. On the cover was a picture of a flying lady with gray hair. It looked like fun! That book helped Carl feel brave. He brought it to the storyteller. Carl said, “¡Por favor! Please, will you read this book today?” The storyteller looked at the cover, then at Carl’s hopeful face, and smiled. “¡Claro que sí! Of course!” That day, the storyteller read Carl’s book in English and Spanish. Some kids listened with curious faces; a few even repeated the Spanish words softly.

Let’s have a game night!” “I don’t really feel like playing our usual board games without Mami.” said Peter. Usually, the whole family played together. Dad thought for a moment, then hurried downstairs. Peter heard the sound of moving boxes. He felt a little sorry—Dad was trying so hard to cheer him up, but Peter wasn’t in the mood. Soon Dad returned with a small box. “Komikan,” the cover read. “It’s a game for two people, and it comes from Chile, where your grandparents live,” he said. “My father taught me this game when I was a boy—it is very special to me.” Peter grew curious. “Can you teach me?” Dad gave a thumbs-up and opened the box. He took out a game board with a triangular pattern on it. “One plays as a puma, the other as twelve dogs. The puma wins by capturing nine dogs; the dogs win by cornering the puma on the board.” “Puma—like the wild cat?” “Exactly.” It took Peter a little while to learn the rules, but he soon won as the puma. “I won!” he cheered, dancing happily. “Wait, Peter, it is not over yet even though you won as the puma. Now we change sides—you play as the dogs. If you win again, you’re the champion.” “Whaaat? Okay, Dad, let’s go—I will be the champion!” Peter said playfully. Dad laughed heartily.

(B) Guillermo González Camarena, a Mexican inventor, was born in 1917. As a child, he loved building things. He made electric toys when he was young. By age 12, he had built a radio with spare parts. At 13, he began studying engineering. He was interested in a new technology of his time: television. Television works by sending pictures and sound to a screen using electrical signals. The first moving images were sent to TVs in the 1920s. Few people had TVs then, but many knew TV would be an important way to learn about the world. Early televisions had many limitations. They could only show black-and-white images, not color ones. Because of this, many inventors worked to solve these problems. González Camarena was one of the first with a solution. In 1940, he made a “tri-chromatic” (three-color) device, which used three colors: red, blue, and green. When it was connected to a black-and-white TV, people could see color images. The invention was a huge success. But the device was very expensive to make. He wanted everyone to have color TV, so he kept on working to make it cost less. By the early 1960s, he invented a cheaper way to show color on TV. He called it the “Simplified Bi-color System (SBCS).” It cost much less to produce. Starting in 1965, many SBCS TVs were made and sold in Mexico. González Camarena also believed that TV was important to educate children. His ideas helped create Mexico’s first educational TV network, “Telesecundaria,” which is still used today. Guillermo González Camarena passed away on April 18, 1965. Today, he is remembered as one of Mexico’s greatest inventors. 31. Why did González Camarena invent a tri-chromatic device? A. TVs were not perfect to send sound. B. TVs didn’t help educate children then. C. TVs were too expensive for people to own. D. TVs could only show black-and-white images. 32. What does the underlined word “limitations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Special programs. B. Weak points. C. Unclear images. D. Loud sounds. 33. What was González Camarena’s view on television? A. It should help create TV network. B. Rich people should make it cheaper. C. It should be widely used and educational. D. There was no need to improve its technology. 34. What do you think of González Camarena according to the passage? A. A creative and caring inventor. B. A clever and friendly educator. C. A grateful and curious inventor. D. A smart and successful educator. 35. Where can we probably find this article? A. Great Inventors in History B. How Network Works C. Television User Guide D. The History of Television (C) Today, humans are the main species on Earth, but if we go back millions of years, dinosaurs ruled the planet. They remained the most important living things for about 60 million years — much longer than humans have lived. Dinosaurs died out because of something unknown long before the first humans appeared. Back then, the Earth looked very different. Many scientists believe that all the continents were joined together as one big land. Over millions of years, these continents slowly moved apart. This movement formed the world we see today. That’s why dinosaur fossils are found everywhere. The climate was also warmer, with little temperature change. There were no clear seasons like we have now. Dinosaurs did not live alone on Earth. They lived with many other animals. On land, there were small early mammals, flying animals, and other reptiles (e.g., crocodiles and lizards) — many still live today. In the oceans, there were many fish, sharks, and shellfish. There were also lots of plants everywhere. These plants provided enough food for all the animals and made them live a peaceful life in nature. Why did the dinosaurs die out? There are many guesses, but no one knows the exact answer. Some scientists think a huge rock from space hit the Earth. Others believe that big volcanoes erupted and changed the climate. This mystery makes dinosaurs even more interesting to us now. 36. What can we learn about humans and dinosaurs millions of years ago? A. Dinosaurs and humans never lived on Earth together. B. Human activities caused the dinosaurs’ disappearance. C. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a shorter time than humans have. D. Humans and dinosaurs lived together on Earth for a short time. 37. Why are the dinosaur fossils found everywhere according to the passage? A. People moved the fossils around. B. The continents moved slowly apart. C. Dinosaurs travelled to different continents. D. The climate change formed different fossils. 38. What was the Earth’s climate like in the dinosaurs’ time? A. It was much colder with longer winters. B. It was similar to today, just a little warmer. C. It was warmer and did not have clear seasons. D. It always changed and often had bad weather. 39. Why does the writer mention “crocodiles and lizards” in paragraph 3? A. To tell us dinosaurs looked very similar to these animals. B. To introduce what animals in the dinosaurs’ time looked like. C. To explain that the climate then was helpful to these animals. D. To show that some animals in the dinosaurs’ time are still alive. 40. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Earth’s Climate B. Dinosaur Fossils Worldwide C. Dinosaur Disappearance Mystery D. Dinosaurs and Their Ancient World 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 How to Train Your Brain to Enjoy Doing Hard Things Is your brain acting like a lazy cat when it’s time to do homework or practice piano? ____41____ But here’s a secret: you can train your brain to ENJOY it.

Everyone listens. Carl likes listening to the stories. But the storybooks he heard are only in English. He wishes some books with words in Spanish, too. Carl knows Spanish words best. Those are the words his family uses at home. Carl wonders if storybooks come in both English and Spanish. But he feels too shy to ask. One Monday, Carl found a Spanish-English book at the library. On the cover was a picture of a flying lady with gray hair. It looked like fun! That book helped Carl feel brave. He brought it to the storyteller. Carl said, “¡Por favor! Please, will you read this book today?” The storyteller looked at the cover, then at Carl’s hopeful face, and smiled. “¡Claro que sí! Of course!” That day, the storyteller read Carl’s book in English and Spanish. Some kids listened with curious faces; a few even repeated the Spanish words softly.
