At 15, Ma Long joined the national team. Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis. In 2006, at 18, Ma Long, together with his teammates, won a team world championship. Behind early fame of the genius is Ma Long’s almost paranoid (偏执的) strictness towards himself. His daily routine throughout four seasons was a two—point line between the dormitory and the training hall, and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis. He had been doing so for ten years, monotonously and repetitively. His coach Liu Guoliang once said, “I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection to see how many players were training on Sunday. Only one person in the men’s first team was there… A genius is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.” Such a genius is Ma Long. However, after joining the team for nearly a decade, he suffered various types of failure, and thus was questioned by everyone. At that time, Zhang Jike, another top player, returned to the national team. From then on, Zhang was so invincible that he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days, which was done in the shortest time in record. Seeing Zhang’s achievements, Ma Long, at the lowest point, had the idea of retiring. But he was unwilling to just “disappear”. Then came the Suzhou 2015 World Championship, Ma Long crowned his career, winning the singles champion, and it had been ten years since he won a world championship last time. This title seemed to give him new prospect and all of his efforts paid off. 4. What can we know about Ma Long in Paragraph 1? A. He was an outgoing and sociable person. B. He won the first world singles championship at 18. C. He started to practice at S in the absence of his parents. D. He stood out for his determination and professional skills. 5. What can we infer about Ma Long according to Liu Guoliang? A. Years of training witnessed his loneliness. B. He was worn—out and under inspection every day. C. Hardship and fears swallowed him without mercy. D. The road to fame was never smooth but rather tough. 6. What does the underlined word “invincible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Approachable B. Matchless. C. Selfless. D. Unbearable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Ma Long: Pain Is Worthy of a Champion B. Ma Long: Victory Deserves Focus of Attention C. Ma Long: Glory Is Bound to Fade Away D. Ma Long: Chance Favors the Intelligent 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是马龙的成名之路以及他为此付出的努力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis.(虽然他是运动员中最不爱说话的，但他的毅力和他在乒乓球比赛中的整体实力一样强大。)”可知，在第一段中我们能了解到马龙以他的决心和专业技能脱颖而出，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Behind early fame of the genius is Ma Long’s almost paranoid (偏执的) strictness towards himself. His daily routine throughout four seasons was a two—point line between the dormitory and the training hall, and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis.(这位天才早年成名的背后，是马龙对自己近乎偏执的严格。在过去的四个赛季里，他的日常生活就是在宿舍和训练馆之间划出一条两点线，他每天第一个到，最后一个离开。)”和“A genius is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.(天才不是你害怕的，你害怕的是天才比你更努力。)”可知，根据刘国梁的说法，马龙的成名之路从来不是平坦的，而是艰难的。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days, which was done in the shortest time in record(他只用了445天就完成了个人大满贯，这是历史上最短的时间)”可知，张继科很无敌，因此invincible意为“无敌的”，和matchless意思相近，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Then came the Suzhou 2015 World Championship, Ma Long crowned his career, winning the singles champion, and it had been ten years since he won a world championship last time. This title seemed to give him new prospect and all of his efforts paid off.(然后是2015年苏州世锦赛，马龙加冕了自己的职业生涯，获得单打冠军，距离他上一次获得世界冠军已经有十年了。这个头衔似乎给了他新的前景，他所有的努力都得到了回报。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是马龙的成名之路以及他为此付出的努力，因此最好的题目是A选项“Ma Long: Pain Is Worthy of a Champion(马龙：痛苦配得上冠军)”，故选A。 C On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko. They spun (使……旋转) handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree's first success. In 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints, like knees with 360N·m power, helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn't just fun - it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China's tech progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It's like watching the future and past dance together!” 8. What can we know about the robots from the text? A. They were developed by a foreign company. B. They had weak joints that affected their performance. C. They learned dance moves through laser navigation. D. They could spin handkerchiefs and form group patterns. 9. Why did the YangBOT program gain so much attention? A. Because it was the longest program in the Spring Festival Gala. B. Because it showed the combination of technology and culture. C. Because it was the first time to use AI in a dance performance. D. Because it was performed by famous dancers. 10. What do young people think of the YangBOT program? A. They think it's boring. B. They think it's humorous. C. They think it's cool. D. They think it's traditional. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of yangko dance. B. A special performance of robots dancing yangko at the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. C. How robots are made by a Chinese robotics company. D. The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala on social media. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在2025年央视春晚上的一个特殊表演——由机器人跳的秧歌舞。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the performance, humanoid robots dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko. They spun (使......旋转) handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns.(在表演中，穿着五彩斑斓服装的人形机器人跳秧歌。他们会立即旋转手帕并形成创意性的群体图案)”可知，它们可以旋转手帕并形成群体图案。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China's tech progress and cultural pride.(YangBOT项目是中国科技进步和文化自豪感的完美结合。)”可知，YangBOT项目获得了如此多的关注是因为它展示了科技与文化的结合。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.(在社交媒体上，“机器人秧歌”等话题迅速流行。年轻观众称其为“酷”，而老年观众则喜欢它的幽默和节日气氛)”可知，年轻人认为这个节目很酷。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.(2025年1月28日，一场名为YangBOT的特别表演在央视春晚惊艳了观众)”和全文内容可知。文章主要讲述了2025年中央电视台春节联欢晚会机器人秧歌特别表演。故选B。 D People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones. A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer. All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become. “It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.” Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families. “If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,” said Branson. “And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No. 1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.” 12. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets because ________. A. more fruits are offered at lower prices B. normal-looking produce is banned there C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day 13. According to Paragraph 3, Branson’s program ________. A. prevents people from wasting their food B. happens to be a win-win arrangement C. teaches food producers how to grow D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce 14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce. B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce. C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life. D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws. 15. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed. B. The world is usually full of imperfect things. C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones. D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述在超市购物时，人们倾向于选择好看的水果和蔬菜，但是加拿大的一家连锁超市正在用较低的价格吸引顾客购买品相不太好的农产品。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.(人们在购买生鲜时通常会挑选外观最漂亮的水果蔬菜，但加拿大连锁超市Loblaws却以比正常外观产品低30%的价格，推出外形丑陋、存在外观缺陷的农产品，吸引了顾客)”可知，Loblaws和其他超市的不同之处在于它以更低的价格售卖有瑕疵的农产品。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices.(该项目负责人Dan Branson解释说，这一举措既帮助了那些本需浪费外形不达标的收成的食品生产商，也让消费者能够以更低的价格买到新鲜蔬果)”可知，Branson的项目是一个双赢的安排。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.(民众对首批上架的苹果、土豆反响热烈，这说明商家有机会扩充商品品类，以更高的定价向加拿大民众售卖更多品类货品)”可知，本段主要说明消费者的支持推动了Loblaws该丑果蔬系列的进一步发展。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No. 1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.(大自然本就不会孕育出完美无瑕的万物。我始终认为：如果有人拿一枚 “无名天然瑕疵果” 苹果，将它和一级优等苹果并排摆放，再闭着眼睛品尝，根本尝不出二者的差别。)”可知，Branson想表达外形有瑕疵的农产品和外观完美的农产品在口感和营养上没有区别。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Your Own Urban Garden Do you think urban gardening is out of reach?

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son. Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding? Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said aloud, “I promise to make you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位80岁老父亲在向45岁的儿子问了四次同样的问题后，儿子变得不耐烦甚至恼怒，老父亲拿出以前的日记本给儿子看，儿子读完其中一页日记后，儿子回想起自己小时候同一个问题问了23遍，父亲仍然耐心解释。因此儿子感到愧疚，向父亲道歉，希望父亲原谅他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看完日记，儿子热泪盈眶，回忆起和父亲坐在一起的日子。”可知，本段应首先描写儿子读完日记的感悟与反思，回想过去和父亲在一起的日子，父亲耐心地教自己。再结合续写第二段提示语可知，儿子反思自己的行为，感到羞愧。 ②由第二段首句内容“儿子羞愧地跪在父亲面前。”可知，第二段首先要描写儿子向父亲道歉，请求父亲的原谅。结合作者的反思和读后续写正向发展原则可知，父亲原谅了儿子，儿子也许诺赡养父亲。 2.续写线索：小时候父亲耐心教儿子——儿子反思自己行为并感到愧疚——向父亲道歉，请求原谅——许诺赡养父亲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：began/started/initiate ②大喊：shout/yell/bawl/exclaim ③承诺：promise/commit/make a commitment/give one’s word 情绪类 ①热泪盈眶：be filled with tears/cry one’s eyes out/tears well up in one’s eyes ②道歉：made an apology/apologized to sb./said sorry to sb. 【点睛】[高分句型1] His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times!

B Ma Long has had a good student image since childhood Ma, born in Anshan, Liaoning, the “hone of table tennis”, was sent by his father to practice table tennis when he was 5 years old, and he went to Shenyang at the age of 11. At 15, Ma Long joined the national team. Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis. In 2006, at 18, Ma Long, together with his teammates, won a team world championship. Behind early fame of the genius is Ma Long’s almost paranoid (偏执的) strictness towards himself. His daily routine throughout four seasons was a two—point line between the dormitory and the training hall, and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis. He had been doing so for ten years, monotonously and repetitively. His coach Liu Guoliang once said, “I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection to see how many players were training on Sunday. Only one person in the men’s first team was there… A genius is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.” Such a genius is Ma Long. However, after joining the team for nearly a decade, he suffered various types of failure, and thus was questioned by everyone. At that time, Zhang Jike, another top player, returned to the national team. From then on, Zhang was so invincible that he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days, which was done in the shortest time in record. Seeing Zhang’s achievements, Ma Long, at the lowest point, had the idea of retiring. But he was unwilling to just “disappear”. Then came the Suzhou 2015 World Championship, Ma Long crowned his career, winning the singles champion, and it had been ten years since he won a world championship last time. This title seemed to give him new prospect and all of his efforts paid off. 4. What can we know about Ma Long in Paragraph 1? A. He was an outgoing and sociable person. B. He won the first world singles championship at 18. C. He started to practice at S in the absence of his parents. D. He stood out for his determination and professional skills. 5. What can we infer about Ma Long according to Liu Guoliang? A. Years of training witnessed his loneliness. B. He was worn—out and under inspection every day. C. Hardship and fears swallowed him without mercy. D. The road to fame was never smooth but rather tough. 6. What does the underlined word “invincible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Approachable B. Matchless. C. Selfless. D. Unbearable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Ma Long: Pain Is Worthy of a Champion B. Ma Long: Victory Deserves Focus of Attention C. Ma Long: Glory Is Bound to Fade Away D. Ma Long: Chance Favors the Intelligent C On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko. They spun (使……旋转) handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree's first success. In 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints, like knees with 360N·m power, helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn't just fun - it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China's tech progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It's like watching the future and past dance together!” 8. What can we know about the robots from the text? A. They were developed by a foreign company. B. They had weak joints that affected their performance. C. They learned dance moves through laser navigation. D. They could spin handkerchiefs and form group patterns. 9. Why did the YangBOT program gain so much attention? A. Because it was the longest program in the Spring Festival Gala. B. Because it showed the combination of technology and culture. C. Because it was the first time to use AI in a dance performance. D. Because it was performed by famous dancers. 10. What do young people think of the YangBOT program? A. They think it's boring. B. They think it's humorous. C. They think it's cool. D. They think it's traditional. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of yangko dance. B. A special performance of robots dancing yangko at the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. C. How robots are made by a Chinese robotics company. D. The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala on social media. D People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones. A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer. All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become. “It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.” Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families. “If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,” said Branson. “And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No. 1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.” 12. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets because ________. A. more fruits are offered at lower prices B. normal-looking produce is banned there C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day 13. According to Paragraph 3, Branson’s program ________. A. prevents people from wasting their food B. happens to be a win-win arrangement C. teaches food producers how to grow D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce 14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce. B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce. C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life. D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws. 15. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed. B. The world is usually full of imperfect things. C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones. D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Your Own Urban Garden Do you think urban gardening is out of reach?

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son. Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
