B Having an older brother comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers tend to look out for their younger brothers and sisters, and despite the occasional rocky moment here and there, many siblings (兄弟姐妹) enjoy life-long close relationships. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills. The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties. One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills. Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax, and verbal reasoning. What the research team discovered was significant: children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister. As far as explaining this phenomenon, researchers have put forward two hypotheses. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention. As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to find out if culture or location affects the popularity of these results. 24. Who has a two-month delay in their language development? A. An only child in the family. B. Children with brothers and sisters. C. Only children with an older sister. D. Only children with an older brother. 25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The whole process of the research. B. The real causes of the result. C. The exact conclusion of the study. D. The sincere relationship of the siblings. 26. What does the underlined word “hypotheses” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Phenomena. B. Researches. C. Assumptions. D. Consequences. 27. What possibly causes the interesting disadvantage according to the text? A. Older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers. B. Culture or location affects the popularity of these results. C. Parents stay longer with their second child than the first one. D. Older brothers often challenge their siblings less than older sisters. C Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticize the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.” Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood. Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof. 28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To offer the solutions. B. To describe a study. C. To raise an issue. D. To explain the causes. 29. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Giving children unconditional family love secretly. B. Teaching children to express real thoughts honestly. C. Helping kids explore personal interests bravely. D. Showing off the family image for public praise. 30. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3? A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The parent relies on the child for support. C. The child tries to win others’ approval. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cut off contact with parents completely to stay safe. B. Try their best to win parents’ unconditional love again. C. Move out immediately to find warmer places outside. D. Build firm personal boundaries and seek proper support. D The train gave a high-pitched warning, and the doors closed with a sharp sound. A passenger threw herself into the seat next to me, holding a bunch of shopping bags tightly against her chest. “Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. I boarded at Cardiff Central Train Station after spending the New Year’s holiday with my parents. I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. Now I sat staring at my watch, silently begging the engine to go faster. The train was crowded with last-minute shoppers, and a few seats away three teenage girls were laughing and showing each other gifts. Their northern accents were a small comfort to me. “In a rush?” the lady beside me asked. I nodded and began to explain my situation, trying to ignore the pity I saw in her eyes. As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. Finally, the train arrived. I rushed out of the station and into the biting cold. Snow was falling like feathers, but I had no time to admire it. Finding a taxi, I gave the driver my destination — the City Concert Hall — and felt my voice break. The taxi drove through the busy market, while I kept looking at my phone, feeling each minute slip away too fast. At last, the taxi pulled up outside the hall. I paid and hurried inside, where a volunteer pointed me to the competition hall. I ran as fast as I could, fearing that I might be too late. The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. With a soft click, the door opened, and I found myself facing a crowd of parents and teachers. Just then, I heard the words I had been waiting for: “She made it! Your daughter won first place!” 32. How did the author feel according to paragraph 1? A. Embarrassed. B. Anxious. C. Hopeful. D. Shocked. 33. Why did the author go back early? A. To join the New Year’s party. B. To meet his wife at the station. C. To spend time with his parents. D. To attend his daughter’s contest. 34. What was the author worried about on the train? A. His wife’s safety. B. The cold weather. C. The noisy teenagers. D. His daughter’s situation. 35. What can we know about the author from the text? A. He was an impatient man. B. He failed to enter the hall. C. He missed the competition. D. He was surprised by the result. 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。 “Ama’s Love Letters” Touches Hearts Across China A short video titled Ama’s Love Letters has gone viral on Chinese social media, touching millions of viewers with its simple yet powerful story of a mother’s love. 36 Although she never went to school and cannot read or write, she has spent years collecting “love letters” — actually drawings and symbols — to express her feelings for her son, who works far away in the city. 37 A bowl of rice means “eat well”, a sun means “be happy”, and a pair of shoes means “come home safely”. Her son, now a young man working in Shenzhen, only discovered these “letters” when he returned home during the Spring Festival. Deeply moved, he shared them online. 38 Netizens described the video as “the most beautiful love letter ever written”. One user wrote, “No fancy words, just pure love. This is what family means.” 39 Many young people said they felt guilty for not calling home often enough and promised to visit their parents more regularly. Experts say the popularity of Ama’s Love Letters reflects a growing public desire to reconnect with traditional family values in a fast-paced modern society. 40 A. Within days, the post received over 10 million likes and comments. B. The video has also sparked discussions about left-behind elderly parents in rural China. C. The video tells the story of an elderly woman from a remote village in Yunnan Province. D. Her son was so angry that he threw all the letters into the trash. E. Each piece of paper is filled with hand-drawn pictures. F. It reminds us that love needs no formal education — it speaks through actions. G. The old woman later learned to write and sent real letters to her son. 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Coming together for a meal always holds symbolic and sentimental(情感的) value.

I love looking through our family albums(相册) and admiring those photos of Mum next to rose bushes 62 casually leaning against a tree. I love seeing her share photos online, and the way all her friends 63 (instant) rush over to tell her that she is still beautiful.

W: No, but I have read about its author Philip Pullman. M: Well. Can you tell me something about him? W: Well, Pullman was born on October 19th, 1946, in a small town in the UK. His father was a pilot, so the family traveled a lot when Pullman was very young. M: Wow! It was great. W: Unfortunately, his father died in a plane crash in 1953. So his mother remarried in 1957 and then the family moved to Australia. M: That was quite a twist. W: Yes. But there little Pullman discovered two superheroes Superman and Batman, which he liked very much. It was at that time that he made up his mind to write fantasy novels when he grew up. M: So what about his grades? W: He was always a good student in Australia and in 1963 he went to study at university in southwestern England.

Big brothers tend to look out for their younger brothers and sisters, and despite the occasional rocky moment here and there, many siblings (兄弟姐妹) enjoy life-long close relationships. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills. The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties. One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills. Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax, and verbal reasoning. What the research team discovered was significant: children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister. As far as explaining this phenomenon, researchers have put forward two hypotheses. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention. As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to find out if culture or location affects the popularity of these results. 24. Who has a two-month delay in their language development? A. An only child in the family. B. Children with brothers and sisters. C. Only children with an older sister. D. Only children with an older brother. 25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The whole process of the research. B. The real causes of the result. C. The exact conclusion of the study. D. The sincere relationship of the siblings. 26. What does the underlined word “hypotheses” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Phenomena. B. Researches. C. Assumptions. D. Consequences. 27. What possibly causes the interesting disadvantage according to the text? A. Older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers. B. Culture or location affects the popularity of these results. C. Parents stay longer with their second child than the first one. D. Older brothers often challenge their siblings less than older sisters. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. A 【导语】主要说明了巴黎研究发现，有哥哥的孩子语言发育平均晚两个月，有姐姐则不会。研究者推测姐姐更爱说话、争抢关注更少，但具体成因仍待进一步探究。 24. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.(现在，研究人员表示他们已改进这些发现，得出了更具体的结论：只有拥有哥哥的儿童才会出现这些语言困难)”可知，只有一个哥哥的孩子学语言更慢。 25. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.(这项研究由法国巴黎的一组研究人员开展，其研究建立在先前发现的基础上，即有年长的兄弟姐妹与语言发展较差存在关联。现在，研究人员表示他们已改进这些发现，得出了更具体的结论：只有拥有哥哥的儿童才会出现这些语言困难)”可知，第二段介绍了研究得出一个更准确的结论。 26. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention.(第一，姐姐通常比哥哥说话更多，这可以弥补父母对该孩童的陪伴可能少于其对头胎孩子的陪伴的不足。第二，姐姐通常比哥哥更少与兄弟姐妹争夺父母的注意力)”和最后一段“As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills.(目前，该研究的作者表示，他们尚无法确切说明为什么有哥哥的孩子在语言发展方面更困难)”可知，研究人员提出了两种原因假设。故划线词意思是“假说”。 27. 细节理解题。根据第六段“The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child.(第一点是，姐姐们通常比哥哥们说话更多，这可以弥补父母对该孩童的陪伴可能少于其对头胎孩子的陪伴的不足)”可知，可能造成这种有趣缺点的原因是姐姐比哥哥更常说话。 C Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticize the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.” Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood. Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof. 28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To offer the solutions. B. To describe a study. C. To raise an issue. D. To explain the causes. 29. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Giving children unconditional family love secretly. B. Teaching children to express real thoughts honestly. C. Helping kids explore personal interests bravely. D. Showing off the family image for public praise. 30. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3? A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The parent relies on the child for support. C. The child tries to win others’ approval. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cut off contact with parents completely to stay safe. B. Try their best to win parents’ unconditional love again. C. Move out immediately to find warmer places outside. D. Build firm personal boundaries and seek proper support. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D 【导语】本文主要介绍孔雀式育儿的定义、表现、对孩子的伤害以及孩子自我疗愈的方法。 28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. (许多孩子努力让父母骄傲。但在一些家庭里，孩子的成功总被“展示”。父母想得到别人的赞扬，孩子可能感觉自己像个表演者，而不是一个人。)”可知，第一段提出有些父母把孩子的成功当作炫耀资本这一问题，从而引出下文对孔雀式育儿的介绍。 29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticize the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. (“孔雀式育儿”一词源于“像孔雀一样骄傲”的说法。在这里，它指一种以自我为中心的育儿方式。孔雀式父母可能在公共场合炫耀“完美家庭”，但当孩子达不到高期望时，会在私下批评孩子。)”可知，孔雀式育儿主要关注获得公众的认可与赞扬。 30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically.(第三种是角色反转。一些父母无法给予适当的照顾和关注，甚至期望孩子在情感或身体上照顾他们。)”可知，角色反转指的是父母依赖孩子获得支持。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary.(支持你的朋友、社群或是专业帮助可以提供原先缺失的关怀。清晰的个人边界也能让关系更安全，如果和父母的接触持续造成伤害，限制接触可能是有必要的。)”可推知，受到孔雀式育儿伤害的人可以建立清晰的个人边界，并寻求合适的外部支持。 D The train gave a high-pitched warning, and the doors closed with a sharp sound. A passenger threw herself into the seat next to me, holding a bunch of shopping bags tightly against her chest. “Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. I boarded at Cardiff Central Train Station after spending the New Year’s holiday with my parents. I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. Now I sat staring at my watch, silently begging the engine to go faster. The train was crowded with last-minute shoppers, and a few seats away three teenage girls were laughing and showing each other gifts. Their northern accents were a small comfort to me. “In a rush?” the lady beside me asked. I nodded and began to explain my situation, trying to ignore the pity I saw in her eyes. As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. Finally, the train arrived. I rushed out of the station and into the biting cold. Snow was falling like feathers, but I had no time to admire it. Finding a taxi, I gave the driver my destination — the City Concert Hall — and felt my voice break. The taxi drove through the busy market, while I kept looking at my phone, feeling each minute slip away too fast. At last, the taxi pulled up outside the hall. I paid and hurried inside, where a volunteer pointed me to the competition hall. I ran as fast as I could, fearing that I might be too late. The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. With a soft click, the door opened, and I found myself facing a crowd of parents and teachers. Just then, I heard the words I had been waiting for: “She made it! Your daughter won first place!” 32. How did the author feel according to paragraph 1? A. Embarrassed. B. Anxious. C. Hopeful. D. Shocked. 33. Why did the author go back early? A. To join the New Year’s party. B. To meet his wife at the station. C. To spend time with his parents. D. To attend his daughter’s contest. 34. What was the author worried about on the train? A. His wife’s safety. B. The cold weather. C. The noisy teenagers. D. His daughter’s situation. 35. What can we know about the author from the text? A. He was an impatient man. B. He failed to enter the hall. C. He missed the competition. D. He was surprised by the result. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在新年假期后紧急赶回家参加女儿歌唱比赛的经历，描述了他在火车上的焦急等待、途中的紧张心情以及最终赶到比赛现场得知女儿获得第一名的故事。 32. 推理判断题。根据第一段中““Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. (“这里有人吗？”她问道，“没有，请坐吧，”我回答道，心里希望火车能尽快开动。)”可知，作者急切地希望火车尽快出发，说明他内心十分焦急不安。 33. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. (我原计划下周回家，但妻子打来的电话彻底打乱了计划：我们女儿的歌唱比赛被提前到了当晚。)”可知，作者提前赶回去是为了参加女儿的歌唱比赛。 34. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. (火车在每个车站停靠时，外面越来越深的黑暗似乎夺走了我所有的希望。我反复查看手机，但妻子却没有任何回应。)”可知，作者在火车上反复查看手机却收不到妻子的回复，内心担忧的是女儿比赛的情况。 35. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. (门是锁着的；我不耐烦地按了门铃。)”以及“She made it! Your daughter won first place! (她成功了！你女儿获得了第一名！)”可知，作者赶到时比赛已经开始，门都锁了，说明他错过了比赛的全部进行过程，仅赶上了结果宣布环节。 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。 “Ama’s Love Letters” Touches Hearts Across China A short video titled Ama’s Love Letters has gone viral on Chinese social media, touching millions of viewers with its simple yet powerful story of a mother’s love. 36 Although she never went to school and cannot read or write, she has spent years collecting “love letters” — actually drawings and symbols — to express her feelings for her son, who works far away in the city. 37 A bowl of rice means “eat well”, a sun means “be happy”, and a pair of shoes means “come home safely”. Her son, now a young man working in Shenzhen, only discovered these “letters” when he returned home during the Spring Festival. Deeply moved, he shared them online. 38 Netizens described the video as “the most beautiful love letter ever written”. One user wrote, “No fancy words, just pure love. This is what family means.” 39 Many young people said they felt guilty for not calling home often enough and promised to visit their parents more regularly. Experts say the popularity of Ama’s Love Letters reflects a growing public desire to reconnect with traditional family values in a fast-paced modern society. 40 A. Within days, the post received over 10 million likes and comments. B. The video has also sparked discussions about left-behind elderly parents in rural China. C. The video tells the story of an elderly woman from a remote village in Yunnan Province. D. Her son was so angry that he threw all the letters into the trash. E. Each piece of paper is filled with hand-drawn pictures. F. It reminds us that love needs no formal education — it speaks through actions. G. The old woman later learned to write and sent real letters to her son. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. A 39. B 40. F 【导语】主要说明了云南一位不识字的阿妈手绘图画寄托对在外务工儿子的思念，视频走红网络，引发大众对亲情与留守老人的思考，诠释了无需文字的真挚母爱。 36. 根据上文“A short video titled Ama’s Love Letters has gone viral on Chinese social media, touching millions of viewers with its simple yet powerful story of a mother’s love. (一段名为《阿妈的情书》的短视频在中国社交媒体上迅速走红，以母亲之爱这一简单却动人的故事打动了数百万观众。)”可知，空1在开篇介绍视频内容的位置，需要先引出故事主人公，C选项“视频讲述了云南偏远山村一位老妇人的故事。”符合引出人物的逻辑。 37. 根据上文“Although she never went to school and cannot read or write, she has spent years collecting “love letters” — actually drawings and symbols — to express her feelings for her son, who works far away in the city. (尽管她从未上学，不会读也不会写，但她多年来一直收集着“信件”——实际上是画作和符号——来表达自己对远在城市工作的儿子的感情。)”以及后文“A bowl of rice means “eat well”, a sun means “be happy”, and a pair of shoes means “come home safely”. Her son, now a young man working in Shenzhen, only discovered these “letters” when he returned home during the Spring Festival. Deeply moved, he shared them online. (一碗米饭意味着“好好吃饭”，一个太阳意味着“幸福快乐”，一双鞋子意味着“平安回家”。他的儿子如今已成年，正在深圳工作，直到春节回家时才发现了这些“字句”。深受触动，他将它们分享到了网上。)”可知，上文提到老妇人的“情书”实际是绘画和符号，后文则举例说明不同图案的含义，E选项“每张纸上都满是手绘的图案。”承上启下，衔接后文的举例。 38. 根据上文“Her son, now a young man working in Shenzhen, only discovered these “letters” when he returned home during the Spring Festival. Deeply moved, he shared them online. (的儿子如今已成年，正在深圳工作，直到春节回家时才发现了这些“字句”。深受触动，他将它们分享到了网上。)”以及下一段“Netizens described the video as “the most beautiful love letter ever written”. One user wrote, “No fancy words, just pure love. This is what family means.” (网友称这段视频为“有史以来最动人的情书”。一位用户写道：“没有华丽的辞藻，只有纯粹的爱。这才是家庭的意义。”)”可知，前文提到儿子被感动后把这些“信”分享到网上，后文开始介绍网友的评价，A选项“几天内，这个帖子就收获了超过1000万的赞和评论”衔接分享后的热度，引出下文网民的讨论。 39. 根据上文“Netizens described the video as “the most beautiful love letter ever written”. One user wrote, “No fancy words, just pure love. This is what family means.” (网友称这段视频为“有史以来最动人的情书”。一位用户写道：“没有华丽的辞藻，只有纯粹的爱。这才是家庭的意义。”)”以及后文“Many young people said they felt guilty for not calling home often enough and promised to visit their parents more regularly. (许多年轻人表示，他们因没有经常打电话回家而感到内疚，并承诺今后会更经常地探望父母。)”可知前文介绍了单个网民的评价，后文提到年轻人反思自己陪伴父母太少，B选项“这个视频也引发了关于中国农村留守老人的讨论。”，承接话题拓展，引出公众的反思。 40. 根据上文“Experts say the popularity of Ama’s Love Letters reflects a growing public desire to reconnect with traditional family values in a fast-paced modern society. (专家表示，《阿妈的情书》之所以受欢迎，反映出在快节奏的现代社会中，公众对重新回归传统家庭价值观的需求日益增。长)”可知，前文专家点明这个视频走红反映了当代人对传统家庭观的追求，F选项“它提醒我们，爱不需要正规教育，爱通过行动传递。”总结全文，呼应老妇人用绘画表达爱的主题。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Coming together for a meal always holds symbolic and sentimental(情感的) value.

If you think that means she enjoys being 56 the camera, you’re wrong. Mum is the everpresent subject and star of her happy photos while friends and family move in and out as supporting characters. Dad, meanwhile, is crouched(蹲伏) next to a bush, 57 (try) to get the best angle of Mum gazing serenely into the distance. Mum’s 58 (enthusiastic) for documenting family outings used to annoy me as 59 child. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized the error of my ways. Namely: if you don’t capture your best angles regularly, people will forget how attractive you were. Many people wish they had a mum 60 never lets her kids forget that, and I’m grateful that I’ve got 61 (I). I love looking through our family albums(相册) and admiring those photos of Mum next to rose bushes 62 casually leaning against a tree. I love seeing her share photos online, and the way all her friends 63 (instant) rush over to tell her that she is still beautiful. Most of all, I love it when she has extensive proof of the regular, non-eventful life stuff no one else thinks to capture. We often forget 64 (appreciate) those times — and what we 65 (look) like when we were young. 【答案】 56. behind 57. trying 58. enthusiasm 59. a 60. who/that 61. mine 62. or 63. instantly 64. to appreciate 65. looked 【导语】说明了母亲的爱好是在外出时拍摄大量照片，她始终是镜头中的主角。作者小时候对此感到厌烦，长大后却明白了母亲的用意：记录日常生活中的美好瞬间可以避免自己年轻时好看的样子被遗忘。作者如今很感激母亲，因为这些照片留存了平凡时光中的珍贵回忆。 56. 考查介词。句意：如果你以为那意味着她喜欢拍摄别人，那你就错了。该空所在句的句意为“如果你以为那意味着她喜欢拍摄别人，那你就错了”。behind the camera的字面意思是“在相机后面”，但在拍照情境中，通常“在相机后面”的人是指拍摄者(摄影师)。 57. 考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，爸爸则蹲在一棵灌木旁，试图找到最佳拍摄角度，将妈妈那平静地凝视远方的画面尽收镜头之中。动词try与其逻辑主语Dad之间存在主谓关系，故此处用所给动词的现在分词作伴随状语。 58. 考查名词。句意：小时候，妈妈热衷于记录家庭出游的场景，这常常让我感到厌烦。根据空前的Mum’s可知，此处用名词enthusiasm作主语。 59. 考查冠词。句意：小时候，妈妈热衷于记录家庭出游的场景，这常常让我感到厌烦。此处child为泛指，且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故用不定冠词a。 60. 考查定语从句。句意：许多人希望自己能有一个从不让孩子忘记这一点的母亲，而我很庆幸自己有幸拥有这样的母亲。该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词是a mum，故此处填关系代词who或that。 61. 考查代词。句意：许多人希望自己能有一个从不让孩子忘记这一点的母亲，而我很庆幸自己有幸拥有这样的母亲。此处意指“我的妈妈”，故此处用名词性物主代词mine作宾语。 62. 考查连词。句意：我喜欢翻阅我们家的相册，欣赏那些照片中妈妈站在玫瑰花丛旁的景象，或者她随意倚靠在树上的画面。此处用or连接两个并列结构，表示选择或交替，句意为“在这些照片中，有些是妈妈站在玫瑰丛旁，有些是妈妈靠在树边”。 63. 考查副词。句意：我喜欢看到她在网上分享照片的情景，也喜欢她身边所有朋友那种立刻冲过来告诉她她依然美丽的样子。修饰动词短语rush over用副词instantly。 64. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我们常常会忽略那些美好的时刻，也忽略了自己年轻时的模样。短语forget to do sth.意为“忘记去做某事”。 65. 考查动词的时态。句意：我们常常会忽略那些美好的时刻，也忽略了自己年轻时的模样。根据空后when we were young可知，发生在过去用一般过去时。 第三节(共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分) 阅读下面句子，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。 66. Their ________(argue) sounds reasonable, but it needs more evidence to support it. 【答案】argument 【详解】句意：他们的论点听起来合理，但需要更多证据来支撑。Their ________ (argue)作主语，形容词性物主代词their要修饰名词，且谓语动词sounds是第三人称单数形式，应将动词argue变为单数名词argument。 67. Reading good books ________(regular) can enrich our knowledge and shape our character. 【答案】regularly 【详解】句意：经常阅读好书能够丰富我们的知识、塑造我们的品格。 空格修饰动名词短语Reading good books，要用副词。所给词regular是形容词，副词形式为regularly，意为“定期地，经常”。 68. He is ________ about the coming exam and can’t sleep well. (anxious) 【答案】anxious 【详解】句意：他对即将到来的考试感到焦虑，睡不好觉。 此处放在系动词is后作表语，直接用形容词anxious，be anxious about 意为“对…… 感到焦虑”。 69. The runner kept on running, ________(shoot) past the other competitors and leaving them far behind. 【答案】shooting 【详解】句意：跑者继续奔跑，不断超越其他选手，将他们远远甩在身后。shoot与主语runner是逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，作状语。 70. When we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt ________(calm) than when we towards it. 【答案】calmer 【详解】句意：身处漩涡边缘时，我比朝着漩涡靠近时更加镇定。空处作表语，结合than可知，形容词calm应用比较级。 71. So far, we ________(spot) many problems that the old people face in their daily lives. 【答案】have spotted 【详解】句意：到目前为止，我们已经发现了许多老年人在日常生活中所面临的问题。根据上文So far可知为现在完成时，主语为we，助动词用have。 72. We laughed heartily, and that moment of shared joy helped ease the ________(tense). 【答案】tension 【详解】考查名词。句意：我们开怀大笑，那共享欢乐的时刻帮助缓解了紧张气氛。作动词ease的宾语，填形容词tense的名词形式tension，意为“紧张，紧张气氛”。故填tension。 73. Nowadays, ________(graduate) have to fight for jobs in a highly competitive society. 【答案】graduates 【详解】句意：如今，毕业生们不得不在竞争激烈的社会中争抢工作。根据“have”以及“fight for jobs”可知，此空是名词复数graduates，意为“毕业生”，作主语。 74. If ________(press), he will admit that he knew about the affair. 【答案】pressed 【详解】考查省略句。句意：如果被追问，他会承认他知道这件事。if引导的条件状语从句中，主语与谓语构成被动关系，且省略了主语he和be动词，故填pressed。 75. Based on the ________(respond) of 625 questionnaires, we know that nearly 90 percent of the people are familiar with driverless cars. 【答案】response/responses 【详解】考查名词。句意：根据625个问卷调查的回答，我们知道将近90%的人熟悉无人驾驶汽车。分析句子可知，设空处需用名词作介词on的宾语，根据respond的名词response既是不可数名词也是可数名词，设空处既可以表示抽象名词，也可以表示具体的625份回答，故既可填response又可填responses。故填response/responses。 第四节 (共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分) 根据中文意思, 完成句子。 76. 他在诚实与恐惧之间挣扎，卡尔深吸一口气向前走去。 ________________________, Karl took a deep breath and stepped forward. . 【答案】Struggling between honesty and fear 【详解】根据句意，空格处作句子状语，表示“挣扎”为动词struggle，逻辑主语Karl与动词struggle为主动关系，使用现在分词形式struggling，位于句首，首字母需大写；表示“在……之间”为固定搭配between...and...，表示“诚实”为honesty，表示“恐惧”为fear，使用“between...and...”连接。 77. 她想要去除裙子上的污渍。 She wants to ________________________ on her skirt. 【答案】remove the spot 【详解】want to do sth.固定搭配，意为“想要做某事”，to后用动词原形；remove表示“去除、清除”；“污渍”为the spot作宾语。 78. 看到这如此混乱，父亲无法抑制住他的愤怒。 Seeing such a mess, his father couldn’t ________ ________ ________. 【答案】contain his anger 【详解】“抑制”常见表达为contain ，这里跟在couldn't后用原形；“他的愤怒”即his anger ，作宾语。 79. ________________________ was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat. 最让他担心的是，农民经常歉收，有时甚至严重缺乏食物。(主语从句) 【答案】What concerned him most 【详解】考查主语从句、动词和时态。根据句意以及句子的提示要求可知，此处为连接代词what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语成分；表示“最让他担心的是”应为动词短语concern him most；结合句意以及主句动词was可知，该句为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时，且句首时首字母应大写。故填What concerned him most。 80. 你们这一代青少年喜欢刷抖音，这没有什么不正常。 ________________________ to be attracted to TikTok. 【答案】It’s not unusual for your generation of teenagers 【详解】考查固定句式。“It's +形容词+for sb. +to do sth.”是常用句式，意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”，not unusual表示“没有什么不正常的”，your generation of teenagers即“你们这一代青少年”。故填It’s not unusual for your generation of teenagers。 81. 禁运在西方引起了恐慌，导致石油价格飙升。 The embargo created panic in the West and caused oil prices to ________ ________. 【答案】shoot up 【详解】考查动词短语。“飙升”为动词短语“shoot up”，不定式作宾语补足语，前有to，shoot用动词原形。故填shoot；up。 82. 做一名英语协会的志愿者不仅会丰富我的生活，而且从长远来看对我有很大的好处。 Acting as ________________________ will not only enrich my life, but also be of great benefit to me in the long run. 【答案】a volunteer of English Association 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处为名词短语a volunteer of English Association“一名英语协会的志愿者”作宾语，符合语境。 83. 他第一次鼓起勇气在一大群听众面前讲话。 He ________________________ to speak in front of a large audience for the first time. 【答案】gathered his courage 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处是动词短语gather his courage“鼓起他的勇气”，符合语境，结合句意可知，该句应为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时。 84. 屠呦呦是20世纪科学界最有影响力的人物之一。 Tu Youyou was ________________________ of science in the 20th century. 【答案】one of the most influential figures 【详解】固定结构 one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数，意为“最……之一”；influential为形容词，意为“有影响力的”，figure表示“人物”，复数形式figures。 85. 面对紧急情况，我们应该保持冷静并互相帮助。(face；过去分词充当状语) ________________________, we should keep calm and help each other. 【答案】Faced with emergencies 【详解】考查动词短语和非谓语动词。“紧急情况”用复数名词emergencies表示；“面对”可以用动词短语be faced with表示；空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词face与主语we之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词faced。故填Faced with emergencies。 第四部分 写作(满分20分) 假定你是李华，你的外国网友Peter发邮件称他因为乱花钱而受到父母的责备。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包括： (1)进行安慰； (2)给出合理的建议。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【参考范文】 Dear Peter, I’m sorry to know you were blamed by your parents for spending money casually.
