【答案】17.C 18.A 19.B 20.A
【原文】 W: Hello, everyone. Today I’m going to talk about an app. So many language learning apps have been created that at times. It’s hard to know which to choose. Wordfit is one of the most popular apps, but is it as fantastic as they say? I like the design. It looks really attractive and is easy to use. There is a wide variety of fun activities like quizzes and games. I particularly like the fact that it lets you chat with other language learners. It’s a great idea. However, there are one or two disappointing things. Some listening practice is provided, but not enough. Also, unfortunately, I couldn’t hear it very well. The problem was the sound quality. It’s very poor. I think it was recorded in a hurry. Finally, if you are looking for pronunciation practice, you’re in trouble because there is none. All in all, I think Wordfit is pretty good. At least it is not boring. I would definitely recommend it. However, if you need to practice listening and pronunciation, it’s probably not the best app for you.

(本题10分)For decades, Chinese migrants overseas counted on qiaopi — letters containing words and money — to stay in touch with their families. These letters, composed by writers and sent with a legal stamp, held migrants’ emotional connection with family and greatly backed up families’ grocery shopping and children’s leisure. Today, 77-year-old Jiang Mingdian is one of the last remaining qiaopi writers keeping this tradition alive.
For nearly sixty years, Jiang has sat at his street stand, helping people put difficult emotions into words. In the past, when many villagers were incapable of comprehending words, they flooded to Jiang’s stand for his special craft. He delicately phrased their messages, translating raw feelings of homesickness into comforting words. For wives waiting at home, Jiang often used the phrase “mountains and seas between them” to describe the painful distance, while their longing was depicted as a bridge across land and sea. When responses arrived from abroad, Jiang would read them aloud in the local dialect to anxious families.
Language also matters. An English letter could cost ten times as much as a Chinese one, helping him support his family during tough times. To better serve his clients, Jiang showed incredible efforts. Although he never studied beyond middle school, he spent at least an hour every night teaching himself English, Spanish, and other languages through radio broadcasts and dictionaries. “People passing by once called me a fool for practicing foreign languages at my door,” Jiang recalls with a smile.
With the rise of smartphones, traditional qiaopi have mostly disappeared. Yet, Jiang’s stall remains active. Today, locals still visit him to resolve family disputes or draft legal documents. He also works as a guide at the local Qiaopi Museum, sharing the history of these touching letters with students. “As long as people still need me,” Jiang says, “I will continue.” He stands as a living nameplate of an era, reminding us of the enduring power of handwritten love.
24.(10分)What can we learn about qiaopi from the beginning?
A.It originally served as legal documents. B.It primarily sustained migrants’ ties.
C.It was mainly used to cover daily expenses. D.It was composed of letters and clothing.
25.What makes Jiang’s qiaopi special?
A.His knowledge of poems. B.His various writing skills.
C.His impressive handwriting. D.His ability to express emotions.
26.Why did Jiang keep on practising foreign languages?
A.To make a living. B.To develop his interest.
C.To promote his service. D.To broaden his horizons.
27.What does Jiang’s experience show?
A.Writing is a blessing. B.Craft bridges hearts.
C.Knowledge is power. D.Practice makes perfect.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.C 27.B
【导语】主要讲述侨批代写人姜明典六十年来替乡人书写侨批,自学多国语言服务客户,坚守手艺传递跨越山海的亲情。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For decades, Chinese migrants overseas counted on qiaopi — letters containing words and money — to stay in touch with their families. These letters, composed by writers and sent with a legal stamp, held migrants’ emotional connection with family and greatly backed up families’ grocery shopping and children’s leisure. (数十年来,海外华人依靠侨批——附有家书与钱款的信件——和家人保持联络。这类由专人代写、贴正规邮票寄出的信件维系着游子与家人的情感牵绊,还为家里的日常采买、子女休闲相关的开销提供了重要经济支撑。)”可知,侨批最核心的作用是维系海外移民与国内家人的情感纽带。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For nearly sixty years, Jiang has sat at his street stand, helping people put difficult emotions into words. In the past, when many villagers were incapable of comprehending words, they flooded to Jiang’s stand for his special craft. He delicately phrased their messages, translating raw feelings of homesickness into comforting words. For wives waiting at home, Jiang often used the phrase “mountains and seas between them” to describe the painful distance, while their longing was depicted as a bridge across land and sea. (近六十年来,姜明典守在街边摊位,帮人们把难以诉说的情绪写成文字。过去许多村民不识字,纷纷来到他的摊位寻求他独特的手艺。他精心斟酌他们想要传达的话语,将浓烈原始的思乡之情转化为宽慰人心的文字。对于在家等候的妻子们,姜明典常用“山海相隔”来形容令人痛苦的距离,而彼此的思念则被描绘成一座跨越陆地与大海的桥梁。)”可知,姜明典代写侨批的独到之处在于擅长替人抒发复杂细腻的情感。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To better serve his clients, Jiang showed incredible efforts. Although he never studied beyond middle school, he spent at least an hour every night teaching himself English, Spanish, and other languages through radio broadcasts and dictionaries. (为了更好地服务客人,姜先生付出了极大努力。虽然他仅读完中学,但每晚至少抽出一小时,借助广播和词典自学英语、西班牙语以及其他语种。)”可知,他坚持学习外语是为了完善自身服务、更好服务前来托付侨批的客人。
27.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“He stands as a living nameplate of an era, reminding us of the enduring power of handwritten love. (他是一个时代鲜活的印记,让我们想起手写文字承载的爱意拥有长久动人的力量。)”可知,姜明典依靠代写侨批这门手艺传递思念、化解隔阂,搭建起相隔两地之人心灵沟通的桥梁,因此“手艺连通心灵”符合故事传递的内涵。
(本题10分)“At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.
International original magazines shine in language quality: their expressions are authentic (真实的) and vivid, with flexible vocabulary use, making them perfect for experiencing real-world English. Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.
Domestically published magazines, by contrast, are more learner-friendly: they have clear difficulty levels, with Chinese explanations for tough words to lower reading difficulty. Critically, Chinese middle and high school reading comprehension questions are often adapted from international magazine texts — and domestic versions act as “tailored (定做的) practice materials” for these exams. Their downside is that the language can feel overly “textbook-like,” lacking the liveliness of original versions.
Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.
What’s your child’s current English level? You could match it to the right magazine type using their recent English test results — would you like to help decide on a suitable option?
28.(10分)When can children begin reading English magazines?
A.Having mastered the vocabulary in KET textbooks.
B.Achieving a high-level performance in the KET exam.
C.Being able to understand the international original content.
D.Having prior experience with domestic English magazines.
29.Which is a disadvantage of international original English magazines?
A.Cultural gaps may cause misunderstandings.
B.They provide unneeded Chinese explanations.
C.Their vocabulary is too simple for advanced learners.
D.Their content is closely linked to textbook knowledge.
30.What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A.To advise parents on selecting English magazines for their children.
B.To compare the difficulty levels of two types of English magazines.
C.To prove KET Grade A is the best starting point for magazine reading.
D.To analyze the advantages of international original English magazines.
31.Which would be a suitable title for the passage?
A.KET Grade A: The Key to English Magazine Reading
B.The Advantages and Disadvantages of English Magazines
C.How to Improve English Skills Through Magazine Reading
D.International vs Domestic English Magazines: Which Is Right
【答案】28.B 29.A 30.A 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家长常问孩子何时可读英文杂志,文章指出KET级别A级及以上为宜,对比了国际原版(语言地道但有文化差异)与国内出版的版本(适配考试但偏课本化)的特点,并建议按学习目标选择。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills.(通常来说,当孩子达到KET级别A级(优秀)或更高时,就是开始让孩子阅读杂志的好时机了——这是提升他们英语水平的关键步骤)”可知,孩子在KET考试中取得高水平的成绩就可以开始阅读英文杂志。故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.(然而,它们也有缺点:文化差异可能会导致误解,而且由于内容没有分级,经常会出现意想不到的难词,这使得理解变得更加困难)”可知,国际原版英文杂志的缺点是文化差异可能会导致误解。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段“Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.(根据你的目标来选择:如果你希望练习地道的英语并积累丰富的词汇(并且能够应对一些基本的理解难题),那么国际原版书籍是理想的选择。如果你旨在提高考试成绩或持续提升阅读能力,那么国内出版的杂志则更为合适)”可推知,第四段的主要目的是为家长提供关于为孩子挑选英语杂志的建议。故选A。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段““At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.(“我的孩子在什么英语水平阶段可以开始阅读英语杂志呢?”这是家长们常有的疑问。通常情况下,当孩子达到KET级别A(优秀)或更高时,就是开始引入杂志阅读的好时机——这是提升他们英语能力的关键步骤。然而,英语杂志分为两类:国内出版的版本和国际原创版本,每种都有其独特的特点。选择合适的版本能确保学习效果更佳)”可知,文章主要说明了家长常问孩子何时可读英文杂志,文章指出KET级别A级及以上为宜,对比了国际原版(语言地道但有文化差异)与国内出版的版本(适配考试但偏课本化)的特点,并建议按学习目标选择。由此可知,D选项“国际版与国内版英语杂志:哪种更合适”适合作文章标题。故选D。
(本题10分)Listen carefully to a spoken conversation and you’ll notice that the speakers use a lot of little quasi-words — mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like — that don’t convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself: For many decades, linguists regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise. But these little words may be much more important than that. A few linguists now think that they may be crucial traffic signals to control the progression of conversation as well as tools to negotiate mutual understanding.
For most of the history of linguistics, scholars have tended to focus on written language, in large part because that’s what they had records of. But once recordings of conversation became available, they could begin to analyze spoken language the same way as writing. When they did, they observed that interjections — that is, short utterances of just a word or two that are not part of a larger sentence — were ubiquitous in everyday speech.
Many of these interjections serve to regulate the flow of conversation. An um or uh from the speaker, for example, signals that they’re about to pause, but aren’t finished speaking. A quick huh? or what? from the listener, on the other hand, can signal a failure of communication that the speaker needs to repair. In a survey of 31 languages around the world, researchers found that all of them used a short, neutral syllable similar to huh? as a repair signal, probably because it’s quick to produce.
Different interjections can send slightly different signals. Consider, for example, one person describing to another how to build a piece of IKEA furniture, says Allison Nguyen, a psycholinguist at Illinois State University. In such a conversation, mm-hmm might indicate that the speaker should continue explaining the current step, while yeah or OK would imply that the listener is done with that step and it’s time to move on to the next.
32.(10分)The phrase “traffic signals” in paragraph 1 emphasizes interjections’ ______.
A.decorative role in conversation B.rank-related function in grammar
C.regulatory power in dialogue flow D.evolutionary origin in pronunciation
33.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Universal. B.Complex. C.Limited. D.Formal.
34.What is paragraph3 mainly about?
A.The functions of interjections. B.The signals’ cultural differences.
C.Regulations in a conversation. D.The global incidence of interjections.
35.What does the IKEA furniture example illustrate?
A.Listeners use interjections to demonstrate authority.
B.Context decides interjections’ interpretation difference.
C.Task-directed conversations require more interjections.
D.Speakers adapt interjections based on listeners’ feedback.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.A 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了口语中的感叹词在对话中的重要作用,这些感叹词不仅不是无关紧要的噪音,反而可能是控制对话进程和协商相互理解的关键信号。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据第一段中“A few linguists now think that they may be crucial traffic signals to control the progression of conversation as well as tools to negotiate mutual understanding. (现在,一些语言学家认为,它们可能是控制对话进程的关键traffic signals,也是协商相互理解的工具)”可知,第一段中的“traffic signals”一词强调了感叹词在对话流程中的调控作用。故选C。
33.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When they did, they observed that interjections — that is, short utterances of just a word or two that are not part of a larger sentence — were ubiquitous in everyday speech. (当他们这样做时,他们观察到感叹词——即只是一两个词组成的简短话语,不属于更大的句子的一部分——在日常口语中是ubiquitous)”结合语境可知,感叹词在日常口语中是“普遍存在的”。A. Universal普遍的;B. Complex复杂的;C. Limited有限的;D. Formal正式的。故选A。
34.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Many of these interjections serve to regulate the flow of conversation. An um or uh from the speaker, for example, signals that they’re about to pause, but aren’t finished speaking. A quick huh? or what? from the listener, on the other hand, can signal a failure of communication that the speaker needs to repair. In a survey of 31 languages around the world, researchers found that all of them used a short, neutral syllable similar to huh? as a repair signal, probably because it’s quick to produce. (这些感叹词中的许多都是用来调节谈话的流畅性的。例如,说话人说“嗯”或“嗯”,表示他们要暂停,但还没有说完。快啊?还是别的什么?另一方面,从听者那里可以看出说话者需要修复的沟通失败。在一项对全球31种语言的调查中,研究人员发现,所有语言都使用类似huh?作为修复信号,可能是因为它产生得很快)”可知,第三段主要讲述的是感叹词的功能。故选A。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Consider, for example, one person describing to another how to build a piece of IKEA furniture, says Allison Nguyen, a psycholinguist at Illinois State University. In such a conversation, mm-hmm might indicate that the speaker should continue explaining the current step, while yeah or OK would imply that the listener is done with that step and it’s time to move on to the next. (伊利诺伊州立大学的心理语言学家Allison Nguyen说,例如,考虑一个人向另一个人描述如何组装一件宜家家具。在这样的对话中,“mm-hmm”可能表示说话者应该继续解释当前步骤,而“yeah”或“OK”则意味着听众已经完成了该步骤,是时候进入下一步了)”可推知,宜家家具的例子说明了在不同的语境下,听众对感叹词的理解会有所不同。故选B。
(本题12.5分)To be “literate” implies the ability to decode language on its most basic terms, but literacy also expands to one’s ability to “read and write” the world. 36(12.5分) Soccer players, for example, learn the game language. Doctors talk medical terms. Literacy in these specific languages allows us to navigate, participate in and contribute to such a world.
Famous writers have penned literacy narratives to reveal the journey of language learning. But you don’t have to be famous to tell your own— everyone has their own story to tell about their relationships with reading and writing. 37
Recall a story linked to your personal history of reading and writing. Perhaps you want to write about your favorite book and its impact on you. 38 Whatever it is, make sure to consider why this particular story is the most important to tell. Once you’ve settled on your story, picture the first scene that comes to mind. Take the story of your favorite book: it may start with describing where you were when you first got it. 39 Where did this lead you in your writing and reading journey?
Writing literacy narratives can be joyful, but it can also trigger hidden feelings about the complexities of literacy. 40 Writing them down can help us explore these feelings in order to strengthen our relationship with reading and writing. This, in turn, deepens our understanding of ourselves and others.
A.Ready to go but stuck for a start?
B.Continue from there to explore further.
C.At any given moment, we all orbit language worlds.
D.Usually, there are powerful lessons and truths found in it.
E.What are your strongest memories of reading and writing?
F.Maybe you remember your first brush with poetry’s great power.
G.Many of us carry scars and wounds from early literacy experiences.
【答案】36.C 37.A 38.F 39.B 40.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍素养的内涵,并指导如何书写素养叙事。
【详解】36.上文“To be ‘literate’ implies the ability to decode language on its most basic terms, but literacy also expands to one’s ability to ‘read and write’ the world. (所谓‘识字’,意味着具备从最基本层面解读语言的能力,但读写能力也延伸到一个人‘读写’世界的能力)”说明“识字”不仅是解读语言,还能“读写”世界,下文“Soccer players, for example, learn the game language. Doctors talk medical terms. Literacy in these specific languages allows us to navigate, participate in and contribute to such a world. (例如,足球运动员学习运动语言,医生使用医学术语。掌握这些特定领域的语言,能让我们在相应的世界里适应、参与并有所贡献)”举例足球运动员、医生都有各自的专业语言,空处承上启下,C选项“在任何时候,我们都在围绕着语言世界运转”符合语境,既承接上文,又为下文的具体例子做铺垫。故选C。

39.上文“Once you’ve settled on your story, picture the first scene that comes to mind. Take the story of your favorite book: it may start with describing where you were when you first got it. (一旦你确定了你的故事,想象一下首先浮现在脑海中的场景。以你最喜欢的书的故事为例:它可能从描述你第一次得到它时所在的地方开始)”说明确定故事后要想象第一个场景,并举例进行说明,下文“Where did this lead you in your writing and reading journey? (这在你的写作和阅读之旅中把你带向了哪里?)”提出问题引导进一步思考,空处承接上文,B选项“从那里继续深入探索”符合语境,承接上文描述第一个场景,引出下文思考场景的意义,符合逻辑。故选B。
40.上文“Writing literacy narratives can be joyful, but it can also trigger hidden feelings about the complexities of literacy. (撰写识字叙事文章可能是令人愉悦的,但也可能触发人们对读写复杂性的隐藏情感)”说明写识字叙事可能会引发关于识字复杂性的隐藏情感,下文“Writing them down can help us explore these feelings in order to strengthen our relationship with reading and writing. This, in turn, deepens our understanding of ourselves and others. (把它们写下来可以帮助我们探索这些情感,从而加强我们与读写的关系。这反过来又加深了我们对自己和他人的理解)”说明写下这些情感的好处,空处承上启下,G选项“我们许多人都带着早年识字学习经历留下的创伤与伤痛”符合语境,具体说明这些情感的来源,同时引出下文写下这些情感的好处。故选G。
三、完形填空
(本题15分)I’m a university professor at an art school. Last year, I decided to 41 online classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic (阿拉伯语).
My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 42 and go over grammar. During our communication, he also 43 details of his everyday life. Gradually, the 44 of the first few lessons gave way to more familiarity. I stopped feeling awkward and began to open up about my own background and my 45 with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m right here to 46 you. You’re hardworking, and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 47 my students with similar words in my own teaching process. It was 48 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 49 today,” my teacher would say when I used rich vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these words, I got a feeling of 50 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be inspired by such 51 praise. It was at that moment that I became aware of how 52 I had praised my students. That was because I thought too much 53 could make them self-satisfied and too proud. But now, I had a change of heart and 54 that these brief words can mean a lot.
Words 55 . And now I become more thoughtful when I use them.

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。
The phrase “Love Your ‘Laohji’”, 56(15分) (origin) from a short video, has sparked a nationwide conversation.“Laohji” is a term 57 (use) in some dialects to refer to oneself.
This idea encourages people 58 (pay) attention to their own needs. A growing number of young people 59 (find) comfort in this concept since it emerged. They view it not as mere self-indulgence but rather 60 practical reminder of the need for self-care.
There is a clear distinction 61 self-care and selfishness. 62 experts agree is that caring for oneself should not lead to neglect of social connections. The external environment is increasingly 63 (competition), leading young people to turn to the concept of “Laoji” for comfort.
64 (general) accepted as a positive trend, this practice is about building a healthier relationship with themselves, serving as a sign of growing self-awareness and social 65 (accept).
【答案】
56.originating 57.used 58.to pay 59.have found 60.a 61.between 62.What 63.competitive 64.Generally 65.acceptance
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了源自短视频的短语“爱自己的‘老几’”在全国范围内引发热议,解释了该短语的含义,阐述了这一理念鼓励人们关注自身需求、重视自我关怀,说明其作为积极趋势,体现了年轻人自我意识的提升和社会接纳度的提高。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:源自短视频的短语“爱自己的‘老几’”引发了全国范围内的讨论。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词has sparked,空处作非谓语动词;主语The phrase与origin之间是主动关系,需用现在分词originating作后置定语,originate from意为“源自”。故填originating。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:“老几”是一些方言中用来指代自己的术语。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词is,空处作非谓语动词;a term与use之间是被动关系,需用过去分词used作后置定语,表“被用来……的”。故填used。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:这一理念鼓励人们关注自身需求。encourage sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“鼓励某人做某事”,此处需用动词不定式to pay作宾语补足语。故填to pay。
59.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:自从这一理念出现以来,越来越多的年轻人从中找到了慰藉。根据时间状语since it emerged可知,句子需用现在完成时,其结构为have/has+动词的过去分词;主语A growing number of young people为复数,助动词用have。故填have found。
60.考查冠词。句意:他们认为这不仅仅是自我放纵,更是一个提醒人们需要自我关怀的实用提示。reminder为可数名词,表泛指“一个提示”,且practical以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
61.考查介词。句意:自我关怀和自私之间有明显的区别。distinction between A and B是固定搭配,意为“A和B之间的区别”。故填between。
62.考查主语从句。句意:专家们一致认为,关怀自己不应导致忽视社会联系。空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,且指代“专家们一致认为的事情”,需用连接代词what引导,在从句中作agree的宾语。句首单词首字母大写,故填What。
63.考查形容词。句意:外部环境竞争日益激烈,导致年轻人转向“老几”这一理念寻求慰藉。此处作表语,需用competition的形容词形式competitive表示“竞争激烈的”。故填competitive。
64.考查副词。句意:作为一种被普遍认可的积极趋势,这种做法是关于与自己建立更健康的关系,是自我意识提升和社会接纳度提高的标志。此处修饰过去分词accepted,需用general的副词形式generally表示“普遍地”。句首单词首字母大写,故填Generally。
65.考查名词。句意:作为一种被普遍认可的积极趋势,这种做法是关于与自己建立更健康的关系,是自我意识提升和社会接纳度提高的标志。此处与self-awareness并列,作介词of的宾语,需用accept的名词形式acceptance表示“接纳”,为不可数名词。故填acceptance。

【答案】Dear Alex,
I hear that you are learning Chinese but confused about its pronunciation. Don’t be too hard on yourself, as many Chinese learners find it challenging to master the correct pronunciation.
It would be wise to take the following actions. Listen and imitate more. You can watch Chinese movies or listen to Chinese songs, paying special attention to how native speakers pronounce words. Besides, record yourself and compare your pronunciation with standard audio, which will help you notice differences more clearly. Last, if possible, find a language partner online or join a Chinese learning community to practice speaking regularly.
Remember, progress takes time and patience. With consistent practice, I believe you will definitely see improvement.
Yours,
Li Hua

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had always thought language was just a subject in school until I stepped into college. Growing up in Kolkata, I studied at a government-aided secondary school. Though English was part of the curriculum, it never felt important. I could pass exams with minimal effort, so I never took it seriously.
That changed the moment I began my first term of engineering. All the lectures were in English. I sat in class, trying to grasp what the professors were saying, but all my efforts were fruitless. I couldn’t follow the lessons, ask questions, or join in discussions. Outside the classroom, things were no better. My classmates quickly realized I struggled with English. Some laughed at me, while others simply ignored me. Slowly, I backed off. I avoided group outings and kept to myself for fear that I’d embarrass myself if I spoke.
At the end of the term, I failed almost every subject. I stared at my school report in silence. My chest felt heavy, but I knew I had two choices— either giving up or fighting back. I chose the latter. I started small. I read English newspapers daily, carried an English dictionary in my backpack, and watched English videos with subtitles (字幕). Bit by bit, I improved. By the second term,I could finally understand lectures.
But speaking was still a challenge. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t express myself fluently. By my final year, I had gained knowledge in my field but still failed in every campus interview — always rejected in the communication round. My parents were disappointed. My brother thought I hadn’t worked hard enough. I was stuck in a sense of helplessness.
Then, one day, my cousin visited. He asked what was wrong and listened patiently. “You’ve done your part,” he said. “Now let someone help you.” He advised me to attend a spoken English class. I was hesitant. What if people found out? What if I failed again?
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Still, I signed up for the class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, I stood before an employer, nervous but prepared.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Still, I signed up for the class. The classroom was filled with people who were eager to improve their spoken English, just like me. The teacher was very kind and patient. She taught us how to pronounce words correctly and how to use common expressions in daily conversations. I found that I enjoyed the class, where I could practice speaking without worrying about being laughed at. I knew that this was my chance to turn things around, and I was determined to make the most of it.
A month later, I stood before an employer, nervous but prepared. The interview was in English, which used to be my biggest fear. However, now I felt more confident. The employer seemed impressed by my performance. When he told me that I had passed the interview, I couldn’t believe my ears. All the hard work and effort had finally paid off. I realized that with determination and the right help, I could overcome any challenge that came my way.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述作者起初不重视英语,进入大学后因英语不佳而学业受挫、遭同学嘲笑。虽努力自学有进步,但口语仍是难题,求职屡败。后在表弟建议下,作者犹豫是否参加英语口语班。

(本题10分)For decades, Chinese migrants overseas counted on qiaopi — letters containing words and money — to stay in touch with their families. These letters, composed by writers and sent with a legal stamp, held migrants’ emotional connection with family and greatly backed up families’ grocery shopping and children’s leisure. Today, 77-year-old Jiang Mingdian is one of the last remaining qiaopi writers keeping this tradition alive.
For nearly sixty years, Jiang has sat at his street stand, helping people put difficult emotions into words. In the past, when many villagers were incapable of comprehending words, they flooded to Jiang’s stand for his special craft. He delicately phrased their messages, translating raw feelings of homesickness into comforting words. For wives waiting at home, Jiang often used the phrase “mountains and seas between them” to describe the painful distance, while their longing was depicted as a bridge across land and sea. When responses arrived from abroad, Jiang would read them aloud in the local dialect to anxious families.
Language also matters. An English letter could cost ten times as much as a Chinese one, helping him support his family during tough times. To better serve his clients, Jiang showed incredible efforts. Although he never studied beyond middle school, he spent at least an hour every night teaching himself English, Spanish, and other languages through radio broadcasts and dictionaries. “People passing by once called me a fool for practicing foreign languages at my door,” Jiang recalls with a smile.
With the rise of smartphones, traditional qiaopi have mostly disappeared. Yet, Jiang’s stall remains active. Today, locals still visit him to resolve family disputes or draft legal documents. He also works as a guide at the local Qiaopi Museum, sharing the history of these touching letters with students. “As long as people still need me,” Jiang says, “I will continue.” He stands as a living nameplate of an era, reminding us of the enduring power of handwritten love.
24.(10分)What can we learn about qiaopi from the beginning?
A.It originally served as legal documents. B.It primarily sustained migrants’ ties.
C.It was mainly used to cover daily expenses. D.It was composed of letters and clothing.
25.What makes Jiang’s qiaopi special?
A.His knowledge of poems. B.His various writing skills.
C.His impressive handwriting. D.His ability to express emotions.
26.Why did Jiang keep on practising foreign languages?
A.To make a living. B.To develop his interest.
C.To promote his service. D.To broaden his horizons.
27.What does Jiang’s experience show?
A.Writing is a blessing. B.Craft bridges hearts.
C.Knowledge is power. D.Practice makes perfect.
(本题10分)“At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.
International original magazines shine in language quality: their expressions are authentic (真实的) and vivid, with flexible vocabulary use, making them perfect for experiencing real-world English. Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.
Domestically published magazines, by contrast, are more learner-friendly: they have clear difficulty levels, with Chinese explanations for tough words to lower reading difficulty. Critically, Chinese middle and high school reading comprehension questions are often adapted from international magazine texts — and domestic versions act as “tailored (定做的) practice materials” for these exams. Their downside is that the language can feel overly “textbook-like,” lacking the liveliness of original versions.
Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.
What’s your child’s current English level? You could match it to the right magazine type using their recent English test results — would you like to help decide on a suitable option?

(本题10分)Listen carefully to a spoken conversation and you’ll notice that the speakers use a lot of little quasi-words — mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like — that don’t convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself: For many decades, linguists regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise. But these little words may be much more important than that. A few linguists now think that they may be crucial traffic signals to control the progression of conversation as well as tools to negotiate mutual understanding.
For most of the history of linguistics, scholars have tended to focus on written language, in large part because that’s what they had records of. But once recordings of conversation became available, they could begin to analyze spoken language the same way as writing. When they did, they observed that interjections — that is, short utterances of just a word or two that are not part of a larger sentence — were ubiquitous in everyday speech.
Many of these interjections serve to regulate the flow of conversation. An um or uh from the speaker, for example, signals that they’re about to pause, but aren’t finished speaking. A quick huh? or what? from the listener, on the other hand, can signal a failure of communication that the speaker needs to repair. In a survey of 31 languages around the world, researchers found that all of them used a short, neutral syllable similar to huh? as a repair signal, probably because it’s quick to produce.
Different interjections can send slightly different signals. Consider, for example, one person describing to another how to build a piece of IKEA furniture, says Allison Nguyen, a psycholinguist at Illinois State University. In such a conversation, mm-hmm might indicate that the speaker should continue explaining the current step, while yeah or OK would imply that the listener is done with that step and it’s time to move on to the next.
32.(10分)The phrase “traffic signals” in paragraph 1 emphasizes interjections’ ______.
A.decorative role in conversation B.rank-related function in grammar
C.regulatory power in dialogue flow D.evolutionary origin in pronunciation
33.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Universal. B.Complex. C.Limited. D.Formal.
34.What is paragraph3 mainly about?
A.The functions of interjections. B.The signals’ cultural differences.
C.Regulations in a conversation. D.The global incidence of interjections.
35.What does the IKEA furniture example illustrate?
A.Listeners use interjections to demonstrate authority.
B.Context decides interjections’ interpretation difference.
C.Task-directed conversations require more interjections.
D.Speakers adapt interjections based on listeners’ feedback.
(本题12.5分)To be “literate” implies the ability to decode language on its most basic terms, but literacy also expands to one’s ability to “read and write” the world. 36(12.5分) Soccer players, for example, learn the game language. Doctors talk medical terms. Literacy in these specific languages allows us to navigate, participate in and contribute to such a world.
Famous writers have penned literacy narratives to reveal the journey of language learning. But you don’t have to be famous to tell your own— everyone has their own story to tell about their relationships with reading and writing. 37
Recall a story linked to your personal history of reading and writing. Perhaps you want to write about your favorite book and its impact on you. 38 Whatever it is, make sure to consider why this particular story is the most important to tell. Once you’ve settled on your story, picture the first scene that comes to mind. Take the story of your favorite book: it may start with describing where you were when you first got it. 39 Where did this lead you in your writing and reading journey?
Writing literacy narratives can be joyful, but it can also trigger hidden feelings about the complexities of literacy. 40 Writing them down can help us explore these feelings in order to strengthen our relationship with reading and writing. This, in turn, deepens our understanding of ourselves and others.
A.Ready to go but stuck for a start?
B.Continue from there to explore further.
C.At any given moment, we all orbit language worlds.
D.Usually, there are powerful lessons and truths found in it.
E.What are your strongest memories of reading and writing?
F.Maybe you remember your first brush with poetry’s great power.
G.Many of us carry scars and wounds from early literacy experiences.
三、完形填空
(本题15分)I’m a university professor at an art school. Last year, I decided to 41 online classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic (阿拉伯语).
My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 42 and go over grammar. During our communication, he also 43 details of his everyday life. Gradually, the 44 of the first few lessons gave way to more familiarity. I stopped feeling awkward and began to open up about my own background and my 45 with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m right here to 46 you. You’re hardworking, and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 47 my students with similar words in my own teaching process. It was 48 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 49 today,” my teacher would say when I used rich vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these words, I got a feeling of 50 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be inspired by such 51 praise. It was at that moment that I became aware of how 52 I had praised my students. That was because I thought too much 53 could make them self-satisfied and too proud. But now, I had a change of heart and 54 that these brief words can mean a lot.
Words 55 . And now I become more thoughtful when I use them.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had always thought language was just a subject in school until I stepped into college. Growing up in Kolkata, I studied at a government-aided secondary school. Though English was part of the curriculum, it never felt important. I could pass exams with minimal effort, so I never took it seriously.
That changed the moment I began my first term of engineering. All the lectures were in English. I sat in class, trying to grasp what the professors were saying, but all my efforts were fruitless. I couldn’t follow the lessons, ask questions, or join in discussions. Outside the classroom, things were no better. My classmates quickly realized I struggled with English. Some laughed at me, while others simply ignored me. Slowly, I backed off. I avoided group outings and kept to myself for fear that I’d embarrass myself if I spoke.
At the end of the term, I failed almost every subject. I stared at my school report in silence. My chest felt heavy, but I knew I had two choices— either giving up or fighting back. I chose the latter. I started small. I read English newspapers daily, carried an English dictionary in my backpack, and watched English videos with subtitles (字幕). Bit by bit, I improved. By the second term,I could finally understand lectures.
But speaking was still a challenge. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t express myself fluently. By my final year, I had gained knowledge in my field but still failed in every campus interview — always rejected in the communication round. My parents were disappointed. My brother thought I hadn’t worked hard enough. I was stuck in a sense of helplessness.
Then, one day, my cousin visited. He asked what was wrong and listened patiently. “You’ve done your part,” he said. “Now let someone help you.” He advised me to attend a spoken English class. I was hesitant. What if people found out? What if I failed again?
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Still, I signed up for the class.
