Then, kowtow to Confucius’s picture. Finally, go back to the seats.”，说明课前要向孔子像叩头。 【25题详解】 全文围绕古代入学传统展开，从时间、准备、教师、仪式到课前行为，说明古人对入学非常重视，因此选B。A项“现代学校规则更简单”未涉及比较；C项“教育自古至今都是必须的”文中未提及；D项“古代老师是严格的”文中没有提及。 B a Wang Dong, from China, set a 24-hour train travel record of 5,887.76 km in 2025.

All the new records made after 2019 were set on China’s railways.”可知，作者提及1992年英国的初始纪录，是为了说明中国后来打破了该纪录，且近年的相关纪录都由中国创造。 【27题详解】 根据文章b段“Her study can help people in faraway places get better medical care and bring good healthcare to more people around the world.”可知，邱月琪的研究与医疗领域相关，因此她的研究很可能和医学有关。 【28题详解】 根据文章b段“bring good healthcare to more people around the world”和c段“It’s a simple way to share our culture.”可知，b篇中邱月琪的研究能为全球民众提供更好的医疗帮助，c篇中周岩将中国饮食文化传播到瑞典，二者都清晰体现了中国对世界的影响。 【29题详解】 根据文章d段“That’s faster than the 4.74-second world record set by Indonesian Veddriq Leonardo at the Paris Olympics!”和划线句“but save some gold medals (金牌) for the rest of us”可知，赵一程的攀岩速度超过了原世界纪录，实力极强，Watson以调侃的语气表达了赵实力强劲，可能会斩获大量金牌的意思。 【30题详解】 通读四则短文可知，四篇内容分别介绍了不同领域的四位中国人取得的亮眼成就，共同围绕“了不起的中国人”这一主题展开。 C During the Lantern Festival, people light lanterns, set off fireworks, eat yuanxiao, and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started? In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for Emperor Wu of Han. One day, he met a crying maid named Yuanxiao in the emperor’s garden. He asked her what happened. The maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family. Dongfang wanted to help her. He went to the street and told people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the punishment (惩罚) from the Jade Emperor. The news got around rapidly, and soon reached the emperor. Everyone in the city was scared, so the emperor asked Dongfang for advice. Dongfang advised him to let the maids make glutinous rice balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to make the Jade Emperor believe that the city was on fire. Then he wouldn’t set fire. On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns. Yuanxiao’s parents were able to reunite with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the emperor was happy. He ordered that people should make glutinous rice balls and hang red lanterns on that day from that year on. From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best glutinous rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao. 31. Why did Yuanxiao cry in the emperor’s garden? A. She missed her family but couldn’t meet them. B. She didn’t know how to make glutinous rice balls. C. She was made to work in the garden as punishment. 32. What did Dongfang say about the Jade Emperor? A. The Jade Emperor would help stop the fire.

A. ④⑤③①⑥② B. ④①③⑥⑤② C. ④①⑤⑥②③ 34. Which of the following can best describe Dongfang? A. Honest and clever. B. Clever and helpful. C. Patient and honest. 35. What’s the passage mainly talking about? A. A big fire on a special day. B. A delicious food called yuanxiao. C. A story behind the Lantern Festival. 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了中国古代汉朝时期东方朔帮助宫女元宵与家人团聚，从而形成元宵节吃元宵、挂灯笼习俗的起源故事。 【31题详解】 第一段指出元宵哭泣的原因：“The maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family.”，这直接说明她想念家人但无法见面，因此答案为A。 【32题详解】 第一段提到东方朔告诉人们：“a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the punishment from the Jade Emperor.”，这说明东方朔会表述玉帝会派神放火作为惩罚，因此答案为C。 【33题详解】 根据文章顺序：东方朔看见元宵哭泣（④）→东方朔计划帮助元宵（①）→东方朔散布火灾消息，人们害怕（③）→东方朔建议做汤圆、挂灯笼、放烟火（⑥）→元宵见到父母（⑤）→皇帝下令（②），正确顺序为④①③⑥⑤②。 【34题详解】 东方朔看见元宵哭泣后主动帮助她，体现了“helpful”（乐于助人）；他通过散布消息、提出建议巧妙化解危机，体现了“clever”（聪明）。 【35题详解】 全文围绕元宵节的起源故事展开，解释了这一传统节日的来历，而非单纯讲火灾或食物。 B卷（共50分） 一、短文填空。（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 born both by communicate correct create direct learn pattern suggest tradition wise When we learn a language, we usually do a lot of reading. But our goal (目标) is often to have the ability ____36____ with other people. So here’s a question: can we improve our speaking skills ____37____ reading? Speaking, like writing, is an active skill because you’re ____38____ something when you write and speak. But reading and listening are passive (被动的) skills because you’re getting the information and trying to understand it when you read and listen. For this reason, some say that reading can’t help to improve speaking ____39____ because written language is quite different from spoken language. However, many experts ____40____ reading as an important way of language learning. They say reading can add words to our vocabulary and show us how to use words and grammar ____41____. And then this can help improve our speaking skill. Reading often is put into two ____42____: extensive reading (泛读) and intensive reading (精读). The goal of extensive reading is to get a quick idea of what the text is about, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t understand every word. While for intensive reading, you need to read an article carefully to get the ____43____ meaning of every word and paragraph. Actually, ____44____ can help students speak better. Though we weren’t ____45____ with language skills, reading helps us develop them step by step. 【答案】36. to communicate 37. by 38. creating 39. directly 40. suggest 41. wisely 42. patterns 43. correct 44. both 45. born 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了阅读能否提升口语能力，区分主动、被动语言技能，介绍泛读与精读两种阅读模式，说明阅读可以逐步培养语言能力。 【36题详解】 句意：但是我们的目标通常是拥有和他人交流的能力。根据原句 “But our goal(目标) is often to have the ability … with other people.”，固定搭配have the ability to do sth.“有做某事的能力”，空格需要不定式；方框备选词communicate意为“交流”，语言学习的目标就是与人沟通，语境匹配，变形为to communicate。 【37题详解】 句意：所以这里有一个问题：我们可以通过阅读提高我们的口语技能吗？根据原句 “can we improve our speaking skills … reading?”，空格后接动名词reading，表达借助某种手段；方框备选词by意为“通过（方式）”，专门用来引出手段途径，语义匹配，故填by。 【38题详解】 句意：说，和写一样，是一项主动技能，因为当你写和说的时候，你正在创造一些东西。根据原句 “because you’re … something when you write and speak.”，you’re = you are，是现在进行时结构be+doing，空格需要现在分词；方框备选词create意为“创造”，口语、写作属于输出、创造语言内容，语境契合，变为creating，故填creating。 【39题详解】 句意：出于这个原因，一些人说阅读不能直接帮助提升口语，因为书面语和口语相当不同。根据原句 “some say that reading can’t help to improve speaking … because written language is quite different from spoken language.”，空格修饰动词improve，副词修饰动词；方框备选词direct意为“直接的”，形容词，变为副词directly“直接地”，表达阅读无法直接提升口语，语义通顺，故填directly。 【40题详解】 句意：然而，许多专家建议把阅读当作语言学习的一种重要方式。根据原句 “However, many experts … reading as an important way of language learning.”，主语many experts是复数，全文一般现在时，谓语用原形；方框备选词suggest意为“建议”，suggest doing sth“建议做某事”，后面接动名词reading，符合专家给出观点的语境，故填suggest。 【41题详解】 句意：他们说阅读可以扩充我们的词汇，教会我们明智地使用单词和语法。根据原句 “show us how to use words and grammar ….”，空格修饰动词use，要用副词；方框备选词wise意为“明智的”，形容词，副词形式wisely“明智地”，表达明智地运用词汇语法，语境匹配，故填wisely。 【42题详解】 句意：阅读通常被分为两种模式：泛读和精读。根据原句 “Reading often is put into two …: extensive reading (泛读) and intensive reading (精读).”，数词two后接可数名词复数；方框备选词pattern意为“模式、方式”，后文正好列举两种阅读模式，变为复数patterns，故填patterns。 【43题详解】 句意：而对于精读，你需要仔细阅读文章，获取每个单词和段落的正确含义。根据原句 “you need to read an article carefully to get the … meaning of every word and paragraph.”，空格修饰名词meaning，需要形容词；方框备选词correct意为“正确的”，精读就是要弄懂准确含义，语义匹配，故填correct。 【44题详解】 句意：事实上，两者都可以帮助学生说得更好。根据原句 “Actually, … can help students speak better.”，本处指代上文提到的泛读、精读两件事物；方框备选词both意为“两者都”，专门用于指代两个对象，符合语境，故填both。 【45题详解】 句意：虽然我们并非生来就具备语言技能，但是阅读帮助我们一步步培养它们。根据原句 “Though we weren’t … with language skills, reading helps us develop them step by step.”，固定短语be born with“天生具有……”；方框备选词born，构成固定搭配，语义通顺，故填born。 二、补全短文。根据短文内容，从短文后的A～F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） Have you ever wondered how animals communicate with each other? Do you know that plants can make some sounds?____46____Just in the book The Sounds of Life, the writer talks about how such technologies bring us closer to the worlds of animals and plants. When we walk in nature, we hear the sounds of the sea, birds and leaves.____47____. For example, tomatoes can make ultrasonic (超声的) sounds under stress, like when they don’t get enough water. In the ocean, coral (珊瑚) makes sounds too. Baby corals can “listen” to these sounds to find safe places to grow, even though corals don’t have ears. For further research, scientists use special machines to record these sounds that we can’t hear. Once the sounds are recorded, AI can help understand the sounds made by animals and plants. For example, researchers used AI to study the calls of bats (蝙蝠). They found that many of the calls were about food, sleep and personal space.____48____ Bees (蜜蜂) use dances to communicate. In Germany, a research team has created a robot bee that can dance. The robot bee can tell real bees where to find food by doing their special dance moves.____49____ In the future, this technology might help people who have trouble communicating.____50____The more we understand about nature, the better we can protect it. A. However, there are many sounds out of reach. B. In turn, nature helps to speed up the development of AI. C. That shows animals have their own ways of communicating. D. As AI develops, we may be able to understand their “languages”. E. It can also help scientists learn more about how animals see the world. F.

There were lots of traditional buildings there and I learnt a lot about Chinese culture from them. I found it was quite different from ours,” he said.

For example, researchers used AI to study the calls of bats (蝙蝠). They found that many of the calls were about food, sleep and personal space.____48____ Bees (蜜蜂) use dances to communicate. In Germany, a research team has created a robot bee that can dance. The robot bee can tell real bees where to find food by doing their special dance moves.____49____ In the future, this technology might help people who have trouble communicating.____50____The more we understand about nature, the better we can protect it.

During the festival in 2025, Shanghai Yu Garden offered visitors a feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the ears. Some performers dressed as the flower goddess and walked in the garden. There were colorful light shows, dancing shows and musical performances. In addition to the eye-catching shows, there were also activities that made young people have great fun, such as the traditional make-up. Zhang Ruiqi, a university student in Shanghai, tried the make-up. “I became interested in traditional clothing and make-up after watching some TV plays. When I saw real hanfu in the garden, I couldn’t help having a try,” she said. Besides, many foreign visitors had fun in Yu Garden. Gerald Mohnl, a 57-year-old man from Austria, visited Yu Garden on his last day of a business trip to China. “I walked through the garden and it was a really great experience. There were lots of traditional buildings there and I learnt a lot about Chinese culture from them. I found it was quite different from ours,” he said. Susan Willis, an Australian nurse, came to Shanghai for the first time. She was surprised by the ancient buildings in Yu Garden. In her opinion, they were amazing and fascinating. In Yu Garden, she learnt much about Chinese culture too. 56.
