Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.
For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?
If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?
When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can’t say “it’s sunshining”.
Even the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?
You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.
4. What pushed the author to think deeply about English language?
A. English spelling rules. B. His son’s poor grammar.
C. The strange naming of foods. D. Confusion in daily expression use.
5. What does the example of “hardly” and “softly” show?
A. Word use has strict rules. B. Adverbs are formed regularly.
C. Similar words share meanings. D. Opposites don’t always match.
6. What does the last paragraph imply about English?
A. It is easy to learn. B. It has perfect patterns.
C. It is quite creative. D. It needs development.
7. What does the author think of English’s strangeness?
A. Attractive. B. Worrying. C. Confusing. D. Simple.
C
Thanks to China’s successful environmental protection, wild animals are turning up more often in places where humans live. This is a sign that ecosystems (生态系统) are getting healthier, but it also creates a new challenge for people and wildlife to live together peacefully.
In Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve, Qinghai, drivers often see a gray wolf near the highway. Some kind people used to throw food to it, making the wolf depend on human-given food instead of hunting in the wild.
In Nanjing, Jiangsu, similar meetings caused problems: last year, a wild pig swam across the Yangtze River and walked into a neighborhood, attracting crowds. Two days later, another wild pig attacked a community security guard, and one died in the water when villagers tried to drive it away. A two-year study at Nanjing Agricultural University, using infrared cameras (红外相机), found 63.4% of videos showed wild pigs — and this shows that wild pigs are quite common near cities.
Why do wild animals get closer to humans? On one hand, better protection improved their habitats: more forests, cleaner rivers, and plenty of food. On the other hand, cities are growing bigger: in the past decade, China’s cities have grown by around 10%, leaving less space for wildlife. This overlap brings risks. For example, grassland marmots (草原旱獭) may carry dangerous diseases, and wolves or wild pigs could attack if threatened. Feeding or touching them not only endangers people but also breaks their natural habits — young ones may never learn to hunt, unable to survive in the wild.
To solve this, experts stress “no feeding, no touching”. If you meet a wild animal, stay at least 10 meters away and avoid close-up photos. Governments build green paths linking forests and wetlands to help animals move without entering cities. Schools also help: many have lessons on local wildlife, teaching students to understand animal behaviors and avoid these “wars”.
Wild animals are our natural neighbors, not pets. Only by respecting their habits and keeping distance can we build a safe, peaceful relationship with them.
8. What problem did feeding wild animals cause in Hoh Xil?
A. It discouraged visitors coming here.
B. It reduced the wolf’s hunting ability.
C. It pushed animals to destroy highway systems.
D. It led to a rapid increase in the number of the wolf.
9. What can we know from the two-year study at Nanjing Agricultural University?
A. Wild pigs are protected by local communities.
B. Most wildlife actively avoids city environments.
C. Infrared cameras are mainly used to monitor wildlife.
D. Wild animals’ contact with humans in near cities is increasing.
10. What does the underlined word “overlap” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Shared living space. B. Growth in habitats.
C. The fight over resources. D. Misunderstanding of behaviors.
11. What is a key to human-wildlife harmony according to experts?
A. Guiding animals back to far natural habitats.
B. Building more structures for animal movement.
C. Studying animals’ behaviors much more carefully.
D. Giving space and showing more respect.
D
The town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather famous story where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the story may not be totally true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.
The Aztecs are known for growing, consuming (消耗), and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.
By the 18th century, the tomato was called the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after eating it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the rich used to dine on, which contained a high level of lead (铅). When the acid (酸) in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.
In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. But how did the “poison apple” lose its bad image and become a beloved piece of produce? Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found. But people did find evidence that Johnson actually grew tomatoes.
Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show acted out his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.
12. Why were tomatoes avoided in Europe?
A. The price was too high to grow. B. The color was viewed negatively.
C. A story caused great fear of them. D. They were only for rich families.
13. What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to stories?
A. He did scientific studies on tomatoes.
B. He grew a new variety of tomatoes widely.
C. He wrote many articles against wrong views.
D. He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.
14. What truly contributed to tomatoes becoming popular in America?
A. A big festival celebrated the fruit.
B. Italians brought pizza recipes here.
C. Johnson’s action removed everyone’s worries.
D. A popular radio show spread the cooking recipes.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Hero in Tomato History B. How Tomatoes became a Red Fruit
C. A Journey From Poison to Favorite D. How a Story Changed Dinner Table

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.
For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?
If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?
When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can’t say “it’s sunshining”.
Even the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?
You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.
4. What pushed the author to think deeply about English language?
A. English spelling rules. B. His son’s poor grammar.
C. The strange naming of foods. D. Confusion in daily expression use.
5. What does the example of “hardly” and “softly” show?
A. Word use has strict rules. B. Adverbs are formed regularly.
C. Similar words share meanings. D. Opposites don’t always match.
6. What does the last paragraph imply about English?
A. It is easy to learn. B. It has perfect patterns.
C. It is quite creative. D. It needs development.
7. What does the author think of English’s strangeness?
A. Attractive. B. Worrying. C. Confusing. D. Simple.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章通过举例说明了英语学习中会遇到的一些有趣且令人困惑的语言现象,展示了英语的独特性和创造性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.(你有没有想过,为什么人们学英语总是有困难?直到有一天,我五岁的儿子问我汉堡里是不是有火腿。答案是没有。这让我意识到,茄子里也没有鸡蛋,菠萝里既没有松也没有苹果。这让我开始思考,作为一门要学习的语言,英语能有多离谱)”可知,食物的奇怪命名促使作者开始深入思考英语这门语言的“疯狂”之处。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair?(如果“hard”和“soft”是反义词,为什么“hardly”和“softly”不是一对反义词?)”可知,作者通过这个例子说明,即使原词是反义词,它们的派生词(副词)在词义上并不一定还是反义词,即反义词的规则并不总是完全匹配。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race.(英语是由人发明的,而不是计算机,它反映了人类的创造力)”可知。本段暗示英语富有创造力。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!(你也会对一种语言的独特疯狂感到好奇:房子烧毁时,burn up和burn down两种表达都适用;填写表格时,fill in a form和fill it out两种表达都适用;而警报只有在响起后才会被听见!)”以及最后一段“English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race.(英语是由人发明的,而不是计算机,它反映了人类的创造力)”可知,作者对英语的奇怪之处持欣赏态度,认为这种独特性是充满魅力的。
C
Thanks to China’s successful environmental protection, wild animals are turning up more often in places where humans live. This is a sign that ecosystems (生态系统) are getting healthier, but it also creates a new challenge for people and wildlife to live together peacefully.
In Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve, Qinghai, drivers often see a gray wolf near the highway. Some kind people used to throw food to it, making the wolf depend on human-given food instead of hunting in the wild.
In Nanjing, Jiangsu, similar meetings caused problems: last year, a wild pig swam across the Yangtze River and walked into a neighborhood, attracting crowds. Two days later, another wild pig attacked a community security guard, and one died in the water when villagers tried to drive it away. A two-year study at Nanjing Agricultural University, using infrared cameras (红外相机), found 63.4% of videos showed wild pigs — and this shows that wild pigs are quite common near cities.
Why do wild animals get closer to humans? On one hand, better protection improved their habitats: more forests, cleaner rivers, and plenty of food. On the other hand, cities are growing bigger: in the past decade, China’s cities have grown by around 10%, leaving less space for wildlife. This overlap brings risks. For example, grassland marmots (草原旱獭) may carry dangerous diseases, and wolves or wild pigs could attack if threatened. Feeding or touching them not only endangers people but also breaks their natural habits — young ones may never learn to hunt, unable to survive in the wild.
To solve this, experts stress “no feeding, no touching”. If you meet a wild animal, stay at least 10 meters away and avoid close-up photos. Governments build green paths linking forests and wetlands to help animals move without entering cities. Schools also help: many have lessons on local wildlife, teaching students to understand animal behaviors and avoid these “wars”.
Wild animals are our natural neighbors, not pets. Only by respecting their habits and keeping distance can we build a safe, peaceful relationship with them.
8. What problem did feeding wild animals cause in Hoh Xil?
A. It discouraged visitors coming here.
B. It reduced the wolf’s hunting ability.
C. It pushed animals to destroy highway systems.
D. It led to a rapid increase in the number of the wolf.
9. What can we know from the two-year study at Nanjing Agricultural University?
A. Wild pigs are protected by local communities.
B. Most wildlife actively avoids city environments.
C. Infrared cameras are mainly used to monitor wildlife.
D. Wild animals’ contact with humans in near cities is increasing.
10. What does the underlined word “overlap” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Shared living space. B. Growth in habitats.
C. The fight over resources. D. Misunderstanding of behaviors.
11. What is a key to human-wildlife harmony according to experts?
A. Guiding animals back to far natural habitats.
B. Building more structures for animal movement.
C. Studying animals’ behaviors much more carefully.
D. Giving space and showing more respect.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国野生动物增多带来的挑战及和谐共处的方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some kind people used to throw food to it, making the wolf depend on human-given food instead of hunting in the wild.(一些好心人过去常常向它扔食物,使狼依赖人类提供的食物,而不是在野外捕猎。)”可知,喂养野生动物导致狼的捕猎能力下降。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In Nanjing, Jiangsu, similar meetings caused problems: last year, a wild pig swam across the Yangtze River and walked into a neighborhood, attracting crowds. Two days later, another wild pig attacked a community security guard, and one died in the water when villagers tried to drive it away. A two-year study at Nanjing Agricultural University, using infrared cameras (红外相机), found 63.4% of videos showed wild pigs — and this shows that wild pigs are quite common near cities.(在江苏南京,类似的相遇引发了问题:去年,一头野猪游过长江,闯入一个小区,引来大批人群围观。两天后,另一头野猪袭击了一名小区保安,还有一头野猪在村民试图驱赶时溺亡在水中。南京农业大学一项为期两年的研究利用红外相机发现,63.4% 的视频拍到了野猪 —— 这表明野猪在城市周边十分常见。)”可知,从南京农业大学为期两年的研究中我们可以知道城市附近野生动物与人类的接触在增加。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“On the other hand, cities are growing bigger: in the past decade, China’s cities have grown by around 10%, leaving less space for wildlife. This overlap brings risks.(另一方面,城市规模在不断扩大:在过去的十年里,中国的城市规模扩大了约10%,留给野生动物的空间越来越小。这种overlap带来了风险。)”可知,随着城市规模的扩大,留给野生动物的空间越来越小,人类与野生动物的生活空间出现了重叠,因此overlap的意思是“共享的生活空间”。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Only by respecting their habits and keeping distance can we build a safe, peaceful relationship with them.(只有尊重它们的习性,保持距离,我们才能与它们建立安全、和平的关系。)”可知,专家认为人类与野生动物和谐相处的关键是给予空间并表现出更多的尊重。故选D。
D
The town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather famous story where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the story may not be totally true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.
The Aztecs are known for growing, consuming (消耗), and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.
By the 18th century, the tomato was called the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after eating it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the rich used to dine on, which contained a high level of lead (铅). When the acid (酸) in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.
In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. But how did the “poison apple” lose its bad image and become a beloved piece of produce? Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found. But people did find evidence that Johnson actually grew tomatoes.
Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show acted out his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.
12. Why were tomatoes avoided in Europe?
A. The price was too high to grow. B. The color was viewed negatively.
C. A story caused great fear of them. D. They were only for rich families.
13. What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to stories?
A. He did scientific studies on tomatoes.
B. He grew a new variety of tomatoes widely.
C. He wrote many articles against wrong views.
D. He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.
14. What truly contributed to tomatoes becoming popular in America?
A. A big festival celebrated the fruit.
B. Italians brought pizza recipes here.
C. Johnson’s action removed everyone’s worries.
D. A popular radio show spread the cooking recipes.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Hero in Tomato History B. How Tomatoes became a Red Fruit
C. A Journey From Poison to Favorite D. How a Story Changed Dinner Table
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了西红柿从被视作“毒苹果”,一步步转变为深受人们喜爱的食材的发展历程,讲述了相关传说与史实。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.(西红柿在欧洲传播缓慢,因为许多欧洲人避讳红色,红色被看作是不祥、糟糕且超自然的颜色。)”可知,西红柿在欧洲遭到人们回避,是因为红色在当时被负面看待。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see.(传说有一个人帮助改变了大众的看法——新泽西州塞勒姆的罗伯特·吉本·约翰逊,1820年他站在塞勒姆法院的台阶上,当着所有公众的面吃掉一篮子西红柿。)”可知,根据传说,约翰逊当众吃西红柿来证明西红柿是安全的,以此改变大众对西红柿的看法。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第五段“Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes.(19世纪末20世纪初移民到美国的人群——尤其是带来披萨的意大利人,推动了西红柿最终被人们食用。)”可知,意大利人把披萨配方带到美国,真正推动了西红柿在美国流行起来。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.(西红柿的故事——从“毒苹果”变成厨房宠儿,展现传说和史实如何影响我们的饮食。)”及全文内容可知,本文讲述西红柿从被当成毒物,转变为受人喜爱食材的历程。

【导语】文章主要介绍来自英国的作者原本以为北京是没有自然景色的水泥丛林,来到北京之后发现北京有很多公园,大运河森林公园更是让作者感受到这座城市自然与历史相融的独特魅力。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我来自英国,在那里农场、田野和公园从来都不会离得太远,我曾以为北京是一座没有自然景色的水泥丛林城市。city是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指一座城市,city以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:来北京之前,我担心自己是否有机会外出长时间散步和远足。and并列long walks和空格单词,walks为名词复数,hike的名词复数形式hikes,表示远足活动。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,我很高兴发现我的预想和现实并不相符。固定结构be happy to do sth,表示很高兴去做某事,不定式to find作原因状语。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:在北京的市中心,有许多像朝阳公园、地坛公园和北海公园这样的公共公园。Chaoyang Park, Ditan Park与Beihai Park是并列的公园名称,并列名词之间使用并列连词and。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:所有这些地方都可以乘坐地铁或者出租车轻松抵达。此处修饰动词reached,需要使用副词,easy的副词形式为easily。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最吸引我的一处地方是大运河森林公园。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是location,表示事物,定语从句缺少主语,可用关系代词that或者which。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:除了用于贸易之外,它曾经被用来将水从中国南方输送到北方。固定搭配from…to…,意为“从……到……”。
【63题详解】
考查语态。句意:现在,当你沿着运河岸边漫步时,可以看见芦苇旁的野生鸟类,构成令人惊叹的美景。wild birds和see之间是被动关系,情态动词can后接动词原形,情态动词被动结构为can be seen。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:现在,我意识到北京不仅仅是一座现代化城市,也是自然和历史和谐共存的地方——为那些热爱探索的人带来无尽的惊喜。本句描述现在的情况,用一般现在时,宾语从句主语Beijing是单数名词,系动词使用is。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空格修饰名词surprises,需要形容词,end的形容词endless,意为“无尽的”。
