One day，Linda asked， "Grandma，why are you always so happy？You don't have many nice things." Grandma smiled and said， "Let me tell you a secret.Every morning，I bake cookies.Then I give them to my neighbours.In my garden，I grow flowers.I cut some and give them to the people who look tired or sad." "But doesn't that cost you time and money？" Linda asked. "A little，" Grandma said， "But when I see their smiles，I feel fulfilled.Happiness is not about having a lot.It's about sharing what you have.Some people have big houses but still feel lonely.I have this small house，but I have many friends." That day，Linda helped Grandma give away cookies to an old man who lived alone. ▲ As Linda watched his smile，happiness grew in her mind. She thought about Grandma's words and looked around the small and old house—It suddenly became brighter than any big house.She finally understood：The secret of happiness is love and kindness. 24 Why was Grandma always happy？　 　 A.Because she lived in a beautiful house. B.Because she shared her things with others. C.Because she always got cookies and flowers. D.Because she had a big TV and expensive furniture. 25 Which is the closest meaning to the underlined word "fulfilled" in Paragraph 5？　 　 A.Tired. B.Lonely. C.Warm. D.Confident. 26 Which can best fill in the blank " ▲ " in Paragraph 6？　 　 A.He wanted more cookies. B.He said nothing and left. C.He felt surprised and said no. D.He smiled with bright eyes. 27 Which of the following is the best title for the passage？　 　 A.The Secret of Happiness. B.The Way to Become Rich. C.A Small House with Laughter. D.The Love between Grandma and Linda. 【分析】Linda常去探望住在老旧小屋的奶奶，屋内虽无豪华电视与贵重家具，却终日盈满笑声。她不解奶奶为何清贫却快乐，奶奶吐露秘密：每日烘焙饼干赠予邻居，栽种鲜花送给疲惫忧伤之人。Linda疑惑这岂不费时费财，奶奶却说看见他人微笑便觉心满意足，快乐在于分享而非占有。那日Linda帮奶奶送饼干给独居老人，目睹老人明亮眼眸中的笑容，快乐在她心中滋长。她环顾这不大的老屋，忽觉它比任何豪宅都明亮——终于领悟快乐的秘诀原是爱与善意。 【解答】24 细节理解题。根据第五段"Happiness is not about having a lot.It's about sharing what you have."（快乐不在于拥有很多，而在于分享你所拥有的。）结合奶奶每日烘焙饼干赠邻居、剪花送疲惫之人的行为，可知奶奶快乐的原因在于与他人分享自己的东西。故选B。 25 词义猜测题。根据第五段"But when I see their smiles，I feel fulfilled."（但当我看到他们的笑容时，我感到fulfilled。）结合上下文，奶奶分享饼干与鲜花后看到他人微笑，内心产生积极温暖的感受；后文紧接着强调"快乐在于分享"，可推断fulfilled表达的是一种因付出与分享而产生的内心满足感，与warm（温暖的、暖心的）所传递的情感温度最为接近。故选C。 26 推理判断题。根据第六段后文"As Linda watched his smile，happiness grew in her mind."（当Linda看着他的笑容时，快乐在她心中滋长。）可推知，空格处需填入能自然引出"his smile"的内容；选项D"他双眼明亮地微笑"既与后文"his smile"形成直接呼应，又符合独居老人收到善意后的真切反应。故选D。 27 标题归纳题。通读全文，文章从Linda的疑问起笔，以奶奶分享秘密展开，最终以最后一段"She finally understood：The secret of happiness is love and kindness."（她终于明白：快乐的秘诀是爱与善意。）点明主旨；选项A"快乐的秘诀"精准概括全文核心主题，既涵盖奶奶的处世之道，也包含Linda的领悟过程。故选A。 C 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 ①These days, a growing number of robots are invented to meet different needs and challenges, from doing difficult tasks in factories to providing support at home or school. ②Have you imagined a robot that can dance with you? Some educational robots can do that and they offer help in learning and problem‑solving. In classrooms, these robots encourage students and bring them fun. At home, they can be the helpers for the students to improve creativity. For example, the NAO robot is a human‑like robot with a cute face and two feet. It’s even two feet tall and can talk, move, and dance. It helps students learn languages and programming. ③Some companion (陪伴) robots are able to help your grandparents live more happily. Among them, the robot named The Five should be one of the most excellent companion robots. It was made known to the public for the first time on 24th September, 2024. Different from other robots, The Five has four legs with wheeled feet. Although its face looks small and strange, its powerful fingers enable it to lift an adult weighing 65 kilos. It can help the elderly with many tasks including getting up, walking and carrying heavy objects. Although it hasn’t been widely used yet, it has already been tested successfully in a nursing home. There is no doubt that The Five can bring much convenience (便利) to our life. ④However, there is still something robots can’t do. For example, they don’t have human feelings or creativity. Unable to think independently, they can only follow programmed instructions. Also, they are usually expensive to produce. ⑤As modern technology improves, robots will become more intelligent in the near future, and people will live an easier and more comfortable life. 28．How does the writer lead to the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 29．What’s special about The Five? A．It can bring fun to learning. B．It has been widely used now. C．It has four feet with wheels. D．It is creative in solving problems. 30．What is the right structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 31．What can we infer from the text? A．Students like robots because they look like humans. B．Robots can solve problems because they’re creative. C．The elderly will be happy to own a robot like The Five. D．Robots will be intelligent enough to have human feelings. 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了各类机器人被研发出来满足不同需求，分别介绍教育机器人、陪护机器人，同时提及机器人现存局限，并展望未来机器人会更加智能。 【详解】28．第二段开头抛出设问：“Have you imagined a robot that can dance with you?”，这直接说明作者通过提出一个问题引出本段教育机器人的话题。 29．第三段点明独特之处：“Different from other robots, The Five has four legs with wheeled feet.”，并介绍它能帮扶老人完成起身、行走、搬重物等工作，因此这款机器人的特殊之处在于长有四条带轮子的支脚。 30．全文划分三层内容：①总起段总述机器人可满足各类需求；第二层②教育机器人、③陪护机器人并列介绍机器人优势、④转折讲机器人不足；最后⑤总结展望机器人未来。结构图B的层级为①总领，分出②③④三大分支，最终汇总至⑤结尾，匹配文章逻辑。 31．最后一段进行前景展望：“As modern technology improves, robots will become more intelligent in the near future, and people will live an easier and more comfortable life.”，结合第三段The Five可照料老人的内容，能推断出老年人拥有这类机器人会过得更开心。 第二节 语篇补全(共 4 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 8 分) 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Do you like a staycation?

It was one of the worst snowstorms in American history. The storm lasted for three days and dropped more than 50 inches of snow in some areas. On the day the storm began, the weather was warm and sunny. Many people went to work without warm coats. They had no idea what was coming. By noon, the temperature had dropped suddenly and a strong wind began to blow. Within hours, the snow was falling so heavily that people could not see more than a few meters in front of them. Many people were trapped in their offices, schools or on trains. Some people tried to walk home but got lost in the snow. Over 400 people died in the storm, many from the cold. After the blizzard, cities realized they needed better ways to prepare for winter storms.

C 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 ①These days, a growing number of robots are invented to meet different needs and challenges, from doing difficult tasks in factories to providing support at home or school. ②Have you imagined a robot that can dance with you? Some educational robots can do that and they offer help in learning and problem‑solving. In classrooms, these robots encourage students and bring them fun. At home, they can be the helpers for the students to improve creativity. For example, the NAO robot is a human‑like robot with a cute face and two feet. It’s even two feet tall and can talk, move, and dance. It helps students learn languages and programming. ③Some companion (陪伴) robots are able to help your grandparents live more happily. Among them, the robot named The Five should be one of the most excellent companion robots. It was made known to the public for the first time on 24th September, 2024. Different from other robots, The Five has four legs with wheeled feet. Although its face looks small and strange, its powerful fingers enable it to lift an adult weighing 65 kilos. It can help the elderly with many tasks including getting up, walking and carrying heavy objects. Although it hasn’t been widely used yet, it has already been tested successfully in a nursing home. There is no doubt that The Five can bring much convenience (便利) to our life. ④However, there is still something robots can’t do. For example, they don’t have human feelings or creativity. Unable to think independently, they can only follow programmed instructions. Also, they are usually expensive to produce. ⑤As modern technology improves, robots will become more intelligent in the near future, and people will live an easier and more comfortable life. 28．How does the writer lead to the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 29．What’s special about The Five? A．It can bring fun to learning. B．It has been widely used now. C．It has four feet with wheels. D．It is creative in solving problems. 30．What is the right structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 31．What can we infer from the text? A．Students like robots because they look like humans. B．Robots can solve problems because they’re creative. C．The elderly will be happy to own a robot like The Five. D．Robots will be intelligent enough to have human feelings. 第二节 语篇补全(共 4 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 8 分) 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Do you like a staycation?

It was one of the worst snowstorms in American history. The storm lasted for three days and dropped more than 50 inches of snow in some areas. On the day the storm began, the weather was warm and sunny. Many people went to work without warm coats. They had no idea what was coming. By noon, the temperature had dropped suddenly and a strong wind began to blow. Within hours, the snow was falling so heavily that people could not see more than a few meters in front of them. Many people were trapped in their offices, schools or on trains. Some people tried to walk home but got lost in the snow. Over 400 people died in the storm, many from the cold. After the blizzard, cities realized they needed better ways to prepare for winter storms. They started to build underground railways and telephone lines to keep the cities running even in bad weather. The blizzard also led to the creation of weather forecasting services.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 56．When did the Great Blizzard of 1888 happen? 57．Why were many people not prepared for the storm? 58．How many people died in the blizzard? 59．What did cities do after the blizzard to prepare for future storms? 60．What is the main lesson from this historical event? 第二节 书面表达 (满分 15 分) 61．你校将举办一场以“Digital Life: A Blessing or a Curse?”为主题的英语辩论赛。请你根据以下要点，写一篇英语演讲稿，陈述你的观点： 1. 数字生活带来的好处(至少两点)； 2. 数字生活可能带来的问题(至少两点)； 3. 你的结论(如何合理使用数字技术)。 要求： · 词数80~100； · 开头已给出，不计入总词数； · 可适当发挥，使内容连贯。 Dear fellow students, Today I want to discuss whether digital life is a blessing or a curse.
