二、阅读理解
Often, there is a false idea that one must be “in-the-know” to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.
Look at the Art
As the first step, it’s necessary to take a moment to recognize the artwork’s general characteristics:
● Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork?
● Does it appear disordered or organized?
● Are the colors bright or soft?
Identify the Art and Artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art? For example, the owls in Lebo’s works stand for wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored?
In addition, ask about the feelings it gives you. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you’re admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
21.(0分)What is the first step when viewing art?
A.Doing some research on the artist.
B.Being “in-the-know” about the work.
C.Identifying the work’s general features.
D.Knowing the year of an artwork’s creation.
22.When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should .
A.explain it freely B.choose a title for it
C.describe it to the viewers D.ask how it makes you feel
23.Who is the passage intended for?
A.Museum staff. B.Gallery visitors.
C.Professional artists. D.Exhibition organizers.
(本题10分)I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
24.(10分)Why did the author organize the trip?
A.To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B.To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C.To make shared memories for the family. D.To relive the special outback experiences.
25.What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Reflected on the memories. B.Agreed with their views.
C.Argued about the stories. D.Tripped over my words.
26.What does the author think of the trip?
A.It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B.It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C.It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D.It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
27.What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A.Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B.City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C.The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D.We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
(本题10分)Like many people, I’m always trying to balance tough work deadlines, cleaning the house, and the endless messages on my phone. Last month, I felt really tired all the time. When I went for a regular (常规的) health check, I found out my blood pressure was getting too high. The doctor suggested that I take a few days off to go on a vacation.
Modern life is often busy, which makes many people feel stressed (有压力的). Studies show that stress is a common problem around the world. The World Health Organization says it affects millions of people everywhere.
Planning a trip can be a good way to relax and feel better. Dr. Jane Smith, a psychologist from Cornell University, says, “You don’t need to travel far or stay away for long. What’s important is to step away from your routine (日常事务) and take a break. Visiting new places and trying new things can make you happy and excited.”
Dr. Smith and her team carried out a study involving over 400 participants (参与者) who took short vacations. They assessed the participants’ energy levels both before and after their trips through detailed questionnaires (调查表). The results showed that 94% of the participants reported feeling more energetic after their vacations. This suggests that taking time off, even for short periods, can greatly improve one’s focus and creativity upon returning to work.
“Taking a trip is important, no matter how busy life gets. It’s good for your mind and body,” Dr. Smith says.
28.(10分)What does the author want to show by telling his story?
A.People seldom see a doctor.
B.People get tired after a trip.
C.People hardly go on a vacation.
D.People suffer stress from their busy life.
29.What is important for a trip according to Dr. Smith?
A.Finding a quiet city.
B.Choosing a faraway place.
C.Staying away for a long time.
D.Stopping regular activities for a while.
30.What were participants asked to do during the study?
A.Answer questions.
B.Record their daily life.
C.Pick their travelling places.
D.Visit the hospital for checks regularly.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Modern Life Is Stressful
B.What You Should Do During a Trip
C.Mind and Body Can Be Freed by a Trip
D.How People Balance Life and Work
(本题10分)Ecotourism has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities. It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.
Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.
Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe. The money from ecotourism can take the place of money made by mining (采矿) or destroying forests. It also makes sure the area has a positive development for a long time. Guides teach us why clean nature is important and how to protect it, making us better travelers.
When ecotourism is done right, it can help local people make money in new ways. In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides. This uses their knowledge of the animals and their homes. When local people are part of managing tourism, they get more money to improve community projects in education, transportation, and health care. Ecotourism also lets local people stay on their land, keep it clean, and keep their traditions.
Being an ecotourist means you care about the places you visit. But it also gives you amazing experiences, helping you connect with nature, animals, and the people you meet on your trip. Once you’ve had this kind of travel you might not want to travel in the old way again.
32.(10分)Why does the writer mention African elephants?
A.To give an example of ecotourism.
B.To show where to experience ecotourism
C.To compare their value with other animals.
D.To draw readers’ attention to natural beauty.
33.What do nature reserves and national parks do for ecotourism?
A.They attract more tourists.
B.They change the role of guides.
C.They allow the locals to visit for free.
D.They stop bad behaviors and protect animals.
34.How does ecotourism help former hunters in Rwanda?
A.By keeping their hunting tradition.
B.By educating them about ecotourism.
C.By providing them with jobs in ecotourism.
D.By improving their survival skills in the wild.
35.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Powerful Way of Animal Protection.
B.The History of Ecotourism Development.
C.Ecotourism: A Help for Local Communities.
D.Ecotourism: A Win-Win for Nature and Economy.
(本题12.5分)Visiting family theme parks is important for creating lasting memories that families will cherish for a lifetime. 36(12.5分) , but create far richer experiences than just entertainments. 37
Our minds are always busy and crowded with notifications (通知) , deadlines, and daily tasks. It’s a problem for everyone, kids and adults. Visiting a theme park can be an escape. The place is so huge, detailed, and exciting that it attracts all of your attention. When you’re on a ride through a pirate battle or watching fireworks light up the sky to familiar music, you leave your normal worries behind and get lost in a moment made to be amazing. Promote open communication
The fun and excitement of the park create a relaxing, supportive atmosphere where family members can engage in open conversations. 38 . As family members discuss which attractions to visit next or work together to find their way around the park, they naturally strengthen communication. Practice problem solving
A day at a park is not without its minor frustrations: long lines, hot weather, or the disappointment of a closed attraction. Dealing with all these presents families with opportunities to work together, which helps develop kids’ abilities to be more patient, cooperate with others, and bounce back from setbacks (挫折) , all while still having fun. 39 . Build confidence
40 . For example, a child or even an adult might be scared of a giant roller coaster. The whole process — seeing others enjoy it, finding your own bravery, surviving the big drop, and getting off safely — tells you a clear story, “I did it!” This success makes you believe in your ability to handle tough things. This new belief can then help you in other parts of life, like studying for a tough test.
A.Stir up creative thinking
B.Take a break from stress
C.A theme park is a safe place to face challenges
D.All these can translate to other aspects of their lives
E.These lively destinations offer not just rides and attractions
F.When kids feel secure, they are encouraged to voice their thoughts
G.The experiences shared at these parks can’t create a sense of belonging

At the northern tip of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 56(15分) China meets Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, lies Altay prefecture (阿勒泰地区) — a region of 57 (drama) landscapes and rich culture. 58 (rough) the size of Cuba, it stretches from snowy mountaintops over 4,000 meters high to lowlands just 246 meters above sea level.

67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的故事。
As the golden sun was sailing higher and higher in the east, casting its warm glow over the town, Emily, a keen photographer, started a solo journey to the famed Old Pine Scenic Area, well known for its centuries-old pine forests and winding paths. She anticipated a day filled with peaceful beauty and the opportunity to touch nature in its purest form.
Upon arrival, Emily was charmed by the quietness and splendidness of the overgrown pines that towered above, their branches whispering tales of old in the gentle morning breeze. With her camera in hand, she ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, each step further immersing her in the lively picture of greens and earthy browns.
The paths of Old Pine were many, weaving through the forest like threads of a vast, tangled (缠结的) web. Initially, Emily followed the marked trails, snapping photos of dew-kissed (带着露珠的) spider webs and squirrels dashing through the underbrush. However, as the morning turned into afternoon, she decided to stray from the beaten path to explore a more hidden area, rumored to house the eldest and most majestic pine in the reserve.
The deeper she wandered, the quieter the forest grew, except for the occasional rustle of leaves and distant birds. Focused intently on her photography, Emily scarcely noticed the shifting shadows and the subtle change in the forest. She then realized it was getting late but she had not yet found the eldest pine. And she had not only strayed off the path but was now thoroughly lost.
Panic fluttered in her chest. She attempted to backtrack, hoping to find familiar landmarks, but the forest seemed to have rearranged itself behind her. The trees stood pitiless, their trunks like silent guards that offered no guidance. With her phone’s signal frustratingly absent in the thick forest, Emily felt a surge of helplessness.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emily remembered reading about the importance of staying calm when lost.

Nodding eagerly, Emily explained her situation to the local man.

As you can see, this is just a statue of Bobby. The real dog died years ago. It was January 14th, 1872, to be exact. When he was very young, his owner, John Gray, sadly died. Bobby spent the next fourteen years guarding John’s grave (坟墓)! He loved his owner so much that he never wanted to be parted! Every day, people would see him sitting there. He became quite the celebrity! He was so popular that the leader of Edinburgh city at the time, Sir William Chambers, paid for Bobby’s dog license in 1867. Bobby eventually died and was buried not far from his beloved owner, which means that even today, he remains by his owner’s side! Over the years, people have told many versions of this story. Countless books have been written, and films made! Greyfriars Bobby is a symbol of love and devotion (忠诚) to this day! In my opinion, this is the most touching part.
二、阅读理解
Often, there is a false idea that one must be “in-the-know” to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.
Look at the Art
As the first step, it’s necessary to take a moment to recognize the artwork’s general characteristics:
● Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork?
● Does it appear disordered or organized?
● Are the colors bright or soft?
Identify the Art and Artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art? For example, the owls in Lebo’s works stand for wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored?
In addition, ask about the feelings it gives you. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you’re admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
21.(0分)What is the first step when viewing art?
A.Doing some research on the artist.
B.Being “in-the-know” about the work.
C.Identifying the work’s general features.
D.Knowing the year of an artwork’s creation.
22.When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should .
A.explain it freely B.choose a title for it
C.describe it to the viewers D.ask how it makes you feel
23.Who is the passage intended for?
A.Museum staff. B.Gallery visitors.
C.Professional artists. D.Exhibition organizers.
【答案】21.C 22.D 23.B
【导语】文章主要介绍了欣赏艺术作品的三个步骤:观察艺术品总体特征、了解作品与作者背景、思考作品内在含义,旨在告诉普通大众艺术欣赏有法可循,并非需要专业内行功底。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据Look at the Art部分“As the first step, it’s necessary to take a moment to recognize the artwork’s general characteristics:(作为第一步,有必要花片刻时间辨认艺术品的总体特征:)”可知,欣赏艺术品的第一步是识别作品的总体特点。
22.细节理解题。根据Think About the Meaning部分“In addition, ask about the feelings it gives you.(除此之外,问问这件作品带给你的感受。)”可知,在思考艺术品内涵时,应当询问作品带给自身怎样的感受。
23.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“However, fine art opens the door to everyone.(然而,美术作品向所有人敞开大门。)”以及最后一段“The next time you’re admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.(下次当你欣赏一件艺术作品时,牢记这些方法,作品的内涵或许就会在你眼前慢慢展现。)”可知,本文目标读者是美术馆、画廊的参观访客。
(本题10分)I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
24.(10分)Why did the author organize the trip?
A.To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B.To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C.To make shared memories for the family. D.To relive the special outback experiences.
25.What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Reflected on the memories. B.Agreed with their views.
C.Argued about the stories. D.Tripped over my words.
26.What does the author think of the trip?
A.It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B.It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C.It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D.It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
27.What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A.Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B.City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C.The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D.We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.A 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者带家人进行内陆旅行,虽遇不便但收获意外感悟。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. (我把家人塞进旧车里,从悉尼出发,踏上了3000公里的内陆之旅,希望能给孩子们留下难忘的回忆)”可知,作者组织这次旅行是为了给家人创造共同的回忆。故选C。
25.词句猜测题。根据第三段“Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. (我急切地想和孩子们分享澳大利亚的民间故事,自信地告诉他们那里住着一个神秘的生物——但当他们问我后续问题时,我却stumbled)”可知,作者自信地给孩子们讲故事,但是当孩子们问后续问题的时候,作者却回答不上来,由此推知,stumbled的意思是“说话结结巴巴,不流畅”,与“Tripped over my words. (说话结结巴巴)”意思相近。故选D。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (这次旅行并不精彩——我甚至抱怨床上的硬床垫和小毛巾。但在复活节早晨,孩子们在我们廉价的汽车旅馆房间里疯狂地寻找彩蛋,兴奋地搜遍了每一个角落。我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方,但实际上,孩子们才是我一直想要得到的最好的视角)”可知,尽管旅行中有诸多不便,但作者认为这次旅行是值得的。故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方,但实际上,孩子们才是我一直想要得到的最好的视角)”可知,作者通过这次旅行意识到,通过孩子的眼睛,我们获得了意想不到的见解。故选D。
(本题10分)Like many people, I’m always trying to balance tough work deadlines, cleaning the house, and the endless messages on my phone. Last month, I felt really tired all the time. When I went for a regular (常规的) health check, I found out my blood pressure was getting too high. The doctor suggested that I take a few days off to go on a vacation.
Modern life is often busy, which makes many people feel stressed (有压力的). Studies show that stress is a common problem around the world. The World Health Organization says it affects millions of people everywhere.
Planning a trip can be a good way to relax and feel better. Dr. Jane Smith, a psychologist from Cornell University, says, “You don’t need to travel far or stay away for long. What’s important is to step away from your routine (日常事务) and take a break. Visiting new places and trying new things can make you happy and excited.”
Dr. Smith and her team carried out a study involving over 400 participants (参与者) who took short vacations. They assessed the participants’ energy levels both before and after their trips through detailed questionnaires (调查表). The results showed that 94% of the participants reported feeling more energetic after their vacations. This suggests that taking time off, even for short periods, can greatly improve one’s focus and creativity upon returning to work.
“Taking a trip is important, no matter how busy life gets. It’s good for your mind and body,” Dr. Smith says.
28.(10分)What does the author want to show by telling his story?
A.People seldom see a doctor.
B.People get tired after a trip.
C.People hardly go on a vacation.
D.People suffer stress from their busy life.

D.How People Balance Life and Work
【答案】28.D 29.D 30.A 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲当今人们面临诸多生活压力,建议通过旅行来放松其身心。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Like many people, I’m always trying to balance tough work deadlines, cleaning the house, and the endless messages on my phone. Last month, I felt really tired all the time.(像许多人一样,我总是在努力平衡紧张的工作期限、打扫房子和手机上无休止的信息。上个月,我一直觉得很累)”以及第二段中“Modern life is often busy, which makes many people feel stressed (有压力的). (现代生活往往很忙碌,这让很多人感到压力)”可知,作者通过讲述自己的故事想要说明人们因忙碌的生活而遭受压力。故选D。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中Jane Smith博士说的话“You don’t need to travel far or stay away for long. What’s important is to step away from your routine (日常事务) and take a break.(你不需要走很远或离开很长时间。重要的是远离日常事务,休息一下)”可知,Smith博士认为,旅行重要的是暂时停止常规活动。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Dr. Smith and her team carried out a study involving over 400 participants (参与者) who took short vacations.

31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中““Taking a trip is important, no matter how busy life gets. It’s good for your mind and body,” Dr. Smith says.(Smith博士说:“无论生活有多忙,旅行都很重要。它对你的身心都有好处。”。)”可知,文章主要讲当今人们面临诸多生活压力,建议通过旅行来放松其身心。C选项“Mind and Body Can Be Freed by a Trip(旅行可以解放身心)”最符合文章主旨,可以作为最佳标题。故选C。
(本题10分)Ecotourism has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities. It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.
Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.
Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe. The money from ecotourism can take the place of money made by mining (采矿) or destroying forests. It also makes sure the area has a positive development for a long time. Guides teach us why clean nature is important and how to protect it, making us better travelers.
When ecotourism is done right, it can help local people make money in new ways. In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides. This uses their knowledge of the animals and their homes. When local people are part of managing tourism, they get more money to improve community projects in education, transportation, and health care. Ecotourism also lets local people stay on their land, keep it clean, and keep their traditions.
Being an ecotourist means you care about the places you visit. But it also gives you amazing experiences, helping you connect with nature, animals, and the people you meet on your trip. Once you’ve had this kind of travel you might not want to travel in the old way again.
32.(10分)Why does the writer mention African elephants?
A.To give an example of ecotourism.
B.To show where to experience ecotourism
C.To compare their value with other animals.
D.To draw readers’ attention to natural beauty.
33.What do nature reserves and national parks do for ecotourism?
A.They attract more tourists.
B.They change the role of guides.
C.They allow the locals to visit for free.
D.They stop bad behaviors and protect animals.
34.How does ecotourism help former hunters in Rwanda?
A.By keeping their hunting tradition.
B.By educating them about ecotourism.
C.By providing them with jobs in ecotourism.
D.By improving their survival skills in the wild.
35.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Powerful Way of Animal Protection.
B.The History of Ecotourism Development.
C.Ecotourism: A Help for Local Communities.
D.Ecotourism: A Win-Win for Nature and Economy.
【答案】32.A 33.D 34.C 35.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生态旅游的定义以及它的益处:保护环境,促进当地发展,提供替代生计,增进旅行者与自然的联系等。
【详解】32.推理判断题。第一段中“It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.(这是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,对环境和经济都有帮助。这就像一场对动植物和当地经济都有好处的旅行)”提到生态旅游是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,这种方式对环境、经济都有帮助,第二段“Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.(让我们想想非洲象。过去人们把象牙拿去换钱,但让它们活下去更好。如果人们到它们的自然家园去看大象,它们可以赚更多的钱。一头大象一生的价值约为130万美元。生态旅游是一种更好的发展经济和减少对自然危害的方式)”可知,作者提到非洲大象目的是举一个生态旅游的例子。故选A。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe.(像自然保护区和国家公园这样的地方阻止人们砍伐树木和制造污染。他们还保护动物家园的安全)”可推知,自然保护区和国家公园在生态旅游中的作用是防止有害行为和保护动物家园。故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides.(在像卢旺达这样有很多野生动物的国家,过去打猎的人现在可以做向导了)”可知,生态旅游通过为先前的捕猎者提供工作来使他们受益。故选C。
35.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Ecotourism has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities. It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy.(近年来,生态旅游作为一种聚焦自然环境保护与当地社区健康福祉的旅行形式,受到了广泛关注。这是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,对环境和经济都有帮助)”可知,文章主要讲述了生态旅游如何对自然和当地社区产生积极影响,它是一种更好的旅游方式。D选项“生态旅游:自然与经济的双赢之道”为最佳标题。故选D。
(本题12.5分)Visiting family theme parks is important for creating lasting memories that families will cherish for a lifetime. 36(12.5分) , but create far richer experiences than just entertainments. 37
Our minds are always busy and crowded with notifications (通知) , deadlines, and daily tasks. It’s a problem for everyone, kids and adults. Visiting a theme park can be an escape. The place is so huge, detailed, and exciting that it attracts all of your attention. When you’re on a ride through a pirate battle or watching fireworks light up the sky to familiar music, you leave your normal worries behind and get lost in a moment made to be amazing. Promote open communication
The fun and excitement of the park create a relaxing, supportive atmosphere where family members can engage in open conversations. 38 . As family members discuss which attractions to visit next or work together to find their way around the park, they naturally strengthen communication. Practice problem solving
A day at a park is not without its minor frustrations: long lines, hot weather, or the disappointment of a closed attraction. Dealing with all these presents families with opportunities to work together, which helps develop kids’ abilities to be more patient, cooperate with others, and bounce back from setbacks (挫折) , all while still having fun. 39 . Build confidence
40 . For example, a child or even an adult might be scared of a giant roller coaster. The whole process — seeing others enjoy it, finding your own bravery, surviving the big drop, and getting off safely — tells you a clear story, “I did it!” This success makes you believe in your ability to handle tough things. This new belief can then help you in other parts of life, like studying for a tough test.
A.Stir up creative thinking
B.Take a break from stress
C.A theme park is a safe place to face challenges
D.All these can translate to other aspects of their lives
E.These lively destinations offer not just rides and attractions
F.When kids feel secure, they are encouraged to voice their thoughts
G.The experiences shared at these parks can’t create a sense of belonging
【答案】36.E 37.B 38.F 39.D 40.C

38.根据上文“The fun and excitement of the park create a relaxing, supportive atmosphere where family members can engage in open conversations.(公园的乐趣和兴奋创造了一个轻松、支持的氛围,家庭成员可以在这里进行开放的对话。)”和下文“As family members discuss which attractions to visit next or work together to find their way around the park, they naturally strengthen communication.(当家庭成员讨论接下来要去参观哪些景点或一起在公园里找路时,他们自然会加强沟通。)”可知,本空应与“家庭成员之间的沟通”有关,说明在轻松、支持的氛围中,孩子们会感到安全,从而鼓励他们表达自己的想法。选项F“When kids feel secure, they are encouraged to voice their thoughts.(当孩子们感到安全时,他们会被鼓励说出自己的想法。)”中的“voice their thoughts”与上文的“open conversations”相呼应,且下文是对本空的进一步解释,符合语境。故选F。

40.根据下文“For example, a child or even an adult might be scared of a giant roller coaster. The whole process — seeing others enjoy it, finding your own bravery, surviving the big drop, and getting off safely — tells you a clear story, “I did it!”.(例如,一个孩子甚至一个成年人可能会害怕巨大的过山车。整个过程——看到别人享受它,找到自己的勇气,从大落差中幸存下来,安全下车——告诉你一个清晰的故事,“我做到了!”)”可知,本空应与“挑战”有关,说明主题公园是一个安全的地方,可以面对挑战。选项C“A theme park is a safe place to face challenges.(主题公园是一个面对挑战的安全场所。)”中的“face challenges”与下文的“scared of a giant roller coaster”和“finding your own bravery”相呼应,符合语境。故选C。

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
At the northern tip of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 56(15分) China meets Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, lies Altay prefecture (阿勒泰地区) — a region of 57 (drama) landscapes and rich culture. 58 (rough) the size of Cuba, it stretches from snowy mountaintops over 4,000 meters high to lowlands just 246 meters above sea level. A short coach trip can take you from glaciers to desert, even past herds of wild animals.
During my recent trip, I couldn’t take my eyes off the view. As the coach wound through valleys, silver peaks shone in the distance while the green of birch forests filled the foreground. It looked like the Alps, 59 this wasn’t Europe. A blue river rushed beside us, matching our speed, its power 60 (remind) me how rarely I feel nature’s strength in the city.
Across the hills 61 (stand) yurts (圆顶帐篷) of Kazakh herders, their animals wandering freely. The night before, I experienced throat singing for the first time — a sound that seemed to carry messages from another world.
As we descended, the green grasslands slowly gave way to bright yellow desert. The 62 (vast) felt like stepping into 63 fantasy game, except that this was real. When the other passengers awoke, unaware of what they 64 (miss), I sat amazed, unable to describe the scene I had just witnessed.
Next time, I told 65 (I) to take a video.
【答案】
56.where 57.dramatic 58.Roughly 59.but 60.reminding 61.stand 62.vastness 63.a 64.had missed 65.myself
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以第一人称视角记录作者在新疆阿勒泰地区的旅行经历。
【详解】56.考查定语从句。句意:在新疆维吾尔自治区的北端,中国与俄罗斯、蒙古和哈萨克斯坦接壤的地方,坐落着阿勒泰地区——一个拥有壮美风景和丰富文化的地区。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the northern tip of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,关系词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
57.考查形容词。句意:在新疆维吾尔自治区的北端,中国与俄罗斯、蒙古和哈萨克斯坦接壤的地方,坐落着阿勒泰地区——一个拥有壮美风景和丰富文化的地区。空格处修饰名词landscapes,需要用形容词形式;drama是名词,其形容词形式是dramatic,表示“戏剧般的,引人注目的,壮美的”,作定语。故填dramatic。
58.考查副词。句意:它的面积大约和古巴相当,从海拔4000多米的雪山山顶延伸到海拔仅246米的低地。空格处修饰the size of Cuba,作状语,需要用副词形式;rough是形容词,其副词形式是roughly,表示“大约,大致”。故填Roughly。
59.考查连词。句意:它看起来像阿尔卑斯山,但这不是欧洲。 空格前后是转折关系,所以用连词but连接两个句子。故填but。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:一条蓝色的河流在我们身边奔腾,速度与我们的巴士相当,它的力量让我想起,在城市里我很少能感受到大自然的力量。此处为独立主格结构,逻辑主句its power与动词remind之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词reminding。故填reminding。
61.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:山坡上矗立着哈萨克牧民的圆顶帐篷,他们的牲畜在自由游荡。本句为倒装句,主语是yurts of Kazakh herders,是复数形式,句子描述的是客观情况,用一般现在时,所以谓语动词用stand。故填stand。
62.考查名词。句意:这片广袤的土地感觉像是进入了一个奇幻游戏,只不过这是真实的。空格处作主语,需要用名词形式;vast是形容词,其名词形式是vastness,表示“广阔;辽阔”。故填vastness。
63.考查冠词。句意:这片广袤的土地感觉像是进入了一个奇幻游戏,只不过这是真实的。根据空格后的单数名词game可知,此处表示泛指“一个奇幻游戏”,fantasy是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
64.考查动词时态。句意:当其他乘客醒来时,他们并不知道错过了什么,而我却坐在那里惊愕不已,无法描述刚刚目睹的那一幕。本空为从句谓语,“错过”这个动作发生在“醒来”之前,是过去的过去,所以用过去完成时,结构为“had+过去分词”,miss的过去分词是missed,故填had missed。
65.考查反身代词。句意:我告诉自己下次要拍个视频。句子的主语和宾语是同一人,所以空格处用反身代词myself作宾语。故填myself。

【答案】例文
Dear George,
I’m so excited to hear that you’re planning a trip to China this winter! Based on your interest in history and culture, I’d suggest a classic itinerary: Beijing and Xi’an.
Start your journey in Beijing, the capital city. You can spend three to four days visiting iconic sites like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. Don’t miss tasting Beijing Roast Duck — it’s a must! Then, take a high-speed train (around 4-5 hours) to Xi’an, one of the oldest cities in China. Here, the Terracotta Warriors will absolutely amaze you. You can also cycle on the ancient City Wall, and try various local snacks.
Both cities offer a mix of ancient culture and modern convenience. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful and memorable experience. Let me know if you need more specific recommendations!
Yours,
Li Hua

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的故事。
As the golden sun was sailing higher and higher in the east, casting its warm glow over the town, Emily, a keen photographer, started a solo journey to the famed Old Pine Scenic Area, well known for its centuries-old pine forests and winding paths. She anticipated a day filled with peaceful beauty and the opportunity to touch nature in its purest form.
Upon arrival, Emily was charmed by the quietness and splendidness of the overgrown pines that towered above, their branches whispering tales of old in the gentle morning breeze. With her camera in hand, she ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, each step further immersing her in the lively picture of greens and earthy browns.
The paths of Old Pine were many, weaving through the forest like threads of a vast, tangled (缠结的) web. Initially, Emily followed the marked trails, snapping photos of dew-kissed (带着露珠的) spider webs and squirrels dashing through the underbrush. However, as the morning turned into afternoon, she decided to stray from the beaten path to explore a more hidden area, rumored to house the eldest and most majestic pine in the reserve.
The deeper she wandered, the quieter the forest grew, except for the occasional rustle of leaves and distant birds. Focused intently on her photography, Emily scarcely noticed the shifting shadows and the subtle change in the forest. She then realized it was getting late but she had not yet found the eldest pine. And she had not only strayed off the path but was now thoroughly lost.
Panic fluttered in her chest. She attempted to backtrack, hoping to find familiar landmarks, but the forest seemed to have rearranged itself behind her. The trees stood pitiless, their trunks like silent guards that offered no guidance. With her phone’s signal frustratingly absent in the thick forest, Emily felt a surge of helplessness.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emily remembered reading about the importance of staying calm when lost.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nodding eagerly, Emily explained her situation to the local man.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Emily remembered reading about the importance of staying calm when lost. She found a relatively clear spot and decided to wait, hoping that a ranger who takes care of forest or another hiker might pass by. To keep calm, she resumed taking photos, capturing the stunning beauty of the fog-wrapped forest, each shot a stark contrast to the morning’s vibrant frames. As hours passed, the sound of footsteps crunching on dry leaves alerted Emily to the presence of another. A wave of relief washed over her as an elderly man emerged from the mist, his face creased with a kind smile beneath a wide-brimmed hat. “I thought I might find someone out here,” he said in a gentle voice, noticing Emily’s camera. “You must be here for Old Pine’s eldest.”
Nodding eagerly, Emily explained her situation to the local man. The man, who introduced himself as a local historian, knew the forest like the back of his hand. With a comforting assurance, he offered to lead her back to the main trail and then to the ancient pine she had sought. As they walked, the old man shared stories of the forest’s history and its significance to the local community. The forest, he explained, was not just a collection of trees but a living memory of the town’s heritage. Finally, they arrived at the grand old pine. Its vast trunk and overgrown branches were indeed a sight to behold, majestic and enduring. Emily captured the tree in her lens, a permanent reminder of her adventure and the lessons learned. She thanked the old man earnestly, her heart full of gratitude for the unexpected friendship and the invaluable lesson in humility and respect for nature.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了艾米丽,一个敏锐的摄影师,一个人去著名的老松树风景区的旅行,她被高耸的松树的静谧和壮丽所吸引。最初,艾米丽沿着标记的路径,拍摄露珠吻的蜘蛛网和松鼠在灌木丛中奔跑的照片。然而,当上午变成下午时,她决定离开人迹罕至的小路,去探索一个更隐蔽的地方,据说那里有保护区内最古老、最雄伟的松树。就在她离开的途中,她迷路了;她无法找到熟悉的地标。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“艾米丽记起在书中读到过迷路时保持冷静的重要性。”可知,第一段可描写艾米丽在迷路的过程中如何保持冷静。
②由第二段首句内容“爱米丽急切地点点头,向当地人解释了她的处境。”可知,第二段可描写艾米丽在老人的带领下来到那棵高大的老松树前,并且对老人表示感谢。
2.续写线索:意识到保持冷静的重要性——在相对清晰的地方等待——拍照捕捉森林之美——一位老人从迷雾中走出——急切地点头,向老人解释处境——老人介绍自己——老人一边走一边分享森林的故事——来到高大的老松树前——艾米丽拍下松树以提醒自己——对老人表示感谢
3.词汇激活
行为类
①保持冷静:keep calm/stay calm/keep one’s head
②继续:resume/continue/go on
③到达:arrive at/reach/get to
情绪类
①宽慰/安慰: relief/ease/ comfort
②感谢:thank/show gratitude to
【点睛】[高分句型1] She found a relatively clear spot and decided to wait, hoping that a ranger who takes care of forest or another hiker might pass by.(运用了现在分词作状语,that引导的宾语从句,who引导的定语从句)
