D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者路过一位拉琴老人，起初未在意，后被音乐打动并与老人交流，最终感悟幸福源于简单事物的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：起初，他的音乐并没有引起我太多注意。 原文“his music didn’t ______ much of my attention”中，draw attention为固定搭配，意为“引起注意”，符合语境。give提供、need需要、lose失去，均不能与attention构成“引起注意”的含义。 【12题详解】 句意：我总是匆匆忙忙，几乎没有注意到他演奏的轻柔音乐。 原文“I was always in a hurry and ______ noticed the soft music”中，前半句“in a hurry”表明作者匆忙，因此后半句应表示“几乎没注意到”。hardly意为“几乎不”，符合语境。even甚至、soon很快、only仅仅，均不符合逻辑。 【13题详解】 句意：那是我第一次真正听他演奏。 原文“I really listened to his ______ for the first time”中，结合前文“playing the violin”，此处指听小提琴演奏，playing意为“演奏”，符合语境。talking谈话、shouting喊叫、laughing大笑，均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：旋律如此美妙，深深触动了我的心。 后文“touched my heart deeply”表明旋律是积极美好的。amazing意为“令人惊叹的、美妙的”，符合语境。terrible糟糕的、noisy吵闹的、popular流行的，均不符合“触动内心”的语境。 【15题详解】 句意：当他的手指在琴上移动时，我看到他脸上灿烂的喜悦。 原文“I saw the bright joy on his face ______ his fingers moved over the violin”中，此处表示“当……时”，as引导时间状语从句，符合语境。since自从、because因为、though尽管，均不符合逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：我开始每天往他的琴盒里放一些零钱。 原文“I started to ______ some change into his violin case”中，put...into意为“把……放进……”，符合语境。cut切、turn转、divide分，均不能与into构成“放入”的含义。 【17题详解】 句意：很快，我们开始彼此进行真正的交谈。 原文“we began to have real ______ with each other”中，have conversations with为固定搭配，意为“与……交谈”，符合语境。questions问题、interviews面试、meetings会议，均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：即使在寒冷的冬日早晨，他也会露面与路人分享他的音乐。 原文“Even on cold winter mornings, he ______ to share his music with passers-by”中，showed up意为“出现、露面”，符合语境。checked in登记、dropped out退出、called back回电话，均不符合“与路人分享音乐”的语境。 【19题详解】 句意：他的故事影响我去思考自己的生活。 原文“His story ______ me to think about my own life”中，influence sb. to do sth.意为“影响某人做某事”，符合语境。trained训练、ordered命令、warned警告，均不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：有时，它存在于我们喜欢做的简单事情中。 原文“Sometimes, it’s found in ______ things we love doing”中，结合后文“like a talk with friends or a walk after busy work”可知，这些都是日常生活中的平凡小事，simple意为“简单的”，符合语境。unusual不寻常的、exciting令人兴奋的、serious严肃的，均不符合语境。 B Did you feel yesterday passed quickly? You’re ____21____. Scientists found the Earth’s spin speed (自转速度) isn’t always the same. Generally speaking, a day is about 86,400 seconds, but the time for one full spin can ____22____ a little bit. For a long time, people used the Earth’s spin to ____23____ time. Then, in the 1950s, atomic clocks (原子钟) were invented, which could keep time more ____24____ than any other kind of clock. With the help of the atomic clocks, scientists ____25____ to find “fast days” and “slow days” when the Earth spins faster or slower than usual. Recently, there have been several ____26____ days. For example, a day last July was the shortest ever. Some research showed that there were many ____27____. The Moon’s gravity (重力) is the biggest one. As the Moon goes around Earth, its gravity changes and influences our spin. ____28____, Earth’s air, wind, and even its core movement can influence the spin speed.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕地球自转速度并非恒定这一核心，介绍了原子钟助力人类发现地球自转存在快慢日差异，列举了影响自转速度的因素，同时说明科学家持续监测相关变化以精准计时、探明地球系统的关联。 【21题详解】 句意：你觉得昨天过得很快吗？你是对的。 前文提出“你是否觉得昨天过得很快”的感受，后文引出地球自转速度存在变化的科学依据，说明这个感受是符合事实的，应填right“正确的、对的”。rude“粗鲁的”、stupid“愚蠢的”、kind“友善的”都不符合语境逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：一般来说，一天大约有86400秒，但地球完整自转一圈的时间会有一点变化。 前文提到地球自转速度并非始终一致，说明自转一圈的总时长不会是固定不变的数值，会出现小幅波动，应填change“变化”。stop“停止”、return“返回”、last“持续”都和“自转速度不恒定”的前提表述矛盾。 【23题详解】 句意：很长一段时间里，人们利用地球的自转来计时。 在原子钟发明之前，人们的计时方式依托地球自转的昼夜交替规律，用地球自转来标识、告知时间，应填tell，固定搭配tell time表示“计时、报时”。book“预订”、waste“浪费”、create“创造”都不符合传统计时方式的逻辑。 【24题详解】 句意：然后在20世纪50年代，原子钟被发明了，它可以比其他任何种类的时钟都更精准地计时。 原子钟的核心优势就是计时的准确度极高，后文也提到依托原子钟才能发现“快日”、“慢日”这类细微的时间偏差，应填correctly“精准地、正确地”。playfully“顽皮地”、slowly“缓慢地”、loudly“大声地”都不符合原子钟的功能特点。 【25题详解】 句意：在原子钟的帮助下，科学家成功发现了“快日”和“慢日”，也就是地球自转速度比平时更快或更慢的日子。 依托原子钟的高精度属性，科学家完成了此前无法实现的、对细微自转时长偏差的观测，应填managed，固定搭配manage to do sth.表示“设法成功做成某事”。forgot“忘记”、refused“拒绝”、promised“承诺”都和语境表达的“完成科学发现”的结果相悖。 【26题详解】 句意：最近，已经出现了好几个快日。例如，去年7月的某一天是有史以来最短的一天。 后文举例提到出现了有记录以来最短的一天，说明这段时间地球自转偏快，对应的就是多个“快日”，应填fast“快速的”。dark“黑暗的”、warm“温暖的”、long“漫长的”都和“当日是史上最短”的表述不匹配。 【27题详解】 句意：一些研究表明存在很多相关原因。月球的重力是最大的一个影响因素。 后文开始罗列影响地球自转速度的各类因素，说明此处是引出导致“快日”出现的诸多原因，应填reasons“原因”。results“结果”、problems“问题”、actions“行为”都无法对应后文的影响因素列举逻辑。 【28题详解】 句意：除此之外，地球的大气、风，甚至地核运动也会影响自转速度。 前文刚提到月球引力是最大的影响因素，后文继续补充其他的影响要素，是递进补充的逻辑，应填Besides“除此之外”。Still“仍然”、Finally“最终”、However“然而”都不符合此处顺承补充多个影响因素的语境。 【29题详解】 句意：科学家持续密切地研究自转，来了解这些微小但重要的变化。 要掌握地球自转的各类细微变化，需要对其进行长期持续的观测研究，应填studying“研究”。hiding“隐藏”、repairing“修理”、moving“移动”都和科学家的科研行为不符。 【30题详解】 句意：他们利用这些信息来校准时间，更好地理解地球上不同的系统是如何相互关联的。 通过收集分析自转相关的观测数据，最终的目的除了校准时间之外，还能厘清不同地球系统的关联规律，应填understand“理解、弄清”。imagine“想象”、mention“提及”、introduce“介绍”都不符合科研数据的实际应用价值逻辑。 Ⅶ. 补全对话(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从下面选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hi, Jack! Heard you joined the after-school photography club. B: Yeah, about a month now. A: ____31____ I want to pick up a new skill in my free time. B: Sure! It’s full of fun! A: ____32____ B: No, beginners can get club cameras. A: Nice. ____33____ B: We learn basics like how to take clear photos and use light. A: ____34____ B: Don’t worry!

What do you usually learn in the club? C. How many students are there in the club? D. Do I need my own camera? E. Does the club have a lot of homework? F. Free for students. G. I’m afraid whether I can keep up with the club. 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B 34. E 35. F 【解析】 【导语】本篇对话围绕询问摄影俱乐部相关信息展开，对话双方交流俱乐部趣味性、器材、学习内容、任务量以及费用等内容。 【31题详解】 A向Jack询问摄影俱乐部相关情况，A想要在空闲时间学习一项新技能，这里需要一句引出咨询俱乐部的过渡语句。选项A“I’m interested in taking pictures too.”表达自己也对摄影感兴趣，承接上文Jack加入摄影俱乐部的话题，自然引出后续咨询。 【32题详解】 下文Jack回答初学者可以使用俱乐部的相机，说明本空是询问相机相关的问题。选项D“Do I need my own camera?”询问是否需要自备相机，和答句形成问答匹配。 【33题详解】 下文Jack介绍在俱乐部学习的基础内容，本空需要提问学习内容。选项B“What do you usually learn in the club?”询问在俱乐部通常学习什么，和答句匹配。 【34题详解】 下文Jack安慰对方不用担心，说明只有每周分享一张照片这类小任务，本空表达担心任务难以完成。选项E“Does the club have a lot of homework?”询问俱乐部是否有很多任务，和答句呼应。 【35题详解】 上文A询问俱乐部的花费，本空需要回答费用相关内容。选项F“Free for students.”说明对学生免费，回答费用问题。 第三部分 阅读理解(共两大题，满分45分) Ⅷ. 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Reading is a wonderful way to explore new worlds and learn valuable ideas.

She found that planning big events needed too much preparation. One day, Kristin bought a few picnic tables from Lowe’s for a party. The Lowe’s driver set one table down in her front yard (院子) by mistake. After the party, she painted the table light green—her favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk. That green table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games and ate snacks. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. Slowly, neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. The table became a welcoming meeting point where people naturally met together. Kristin believes people don’t like to invite others inside because they feel their home isn’t perfect. The green table took away that worry. I’ve learned that treating guests doesn’t always need a perfect home or a big party. At the picnic table, all I have to do is show up. “For Kristin, this small change helped her feel less lonely and make friends with her neighbors. People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved,” she says. 39. Why did Kristin put a picnic table in her front yard? A. Because there was no room in her backyard. B. Because the driver accidentally left it there. C. Because she wanted colorful furniture for her garden. D. Because her children needed a place to play outside. 40. What did Kristin do with the picnic table? A. She painted it light green. B. She used it only for big parties. C. She returned it to the store. D. She gave it to her neighbors. 41. Why did the green table make it easier for people to connect? A. Because the color green made people feel happy. B. Because it took away the worry of having a perfect home. C. Because it was in the backyard where it was more private. D. Because Kristin always prepared free meals there. 42. What will probably happen next in this neighborhood? A. Kristin will start a business selling green tables. B. The city government will make rules against front yard tables. C. More neighbors will put their own tables in their front yards. D. People will get tired of the table and stop visiting. 【答案】39. B 40. A 41. B 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Kristin因送货司机失误将野餐桌留在前院，随后将其漆成绿色并用作社区连接点的故事。核心探讨了简单的改变如何消除人们对完美家居的担忧，从而促进邻里间的交流与关爱。 【39题详解】 根据第二段中“The Lowe’s driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake.”可知，野餐桌最初出现在前院是因为司机失误将其留在那里，这是桌子放置在前院的直接原因。 【40题详解】 根据第二段中“After the party, she painted the table light green...and put it in the front yard”可知，Kristin对桌子做的处理是将其漆成了浅绿色。 【41题详解】 根据第四段中“Kristin believes people don’t like to invite others inside because they feel their home isn’t perfect. The green table took away that worry.”可知，绿色桌子让人们不再担心家里不够完美，从而更容易与人建立联系。 【42题详解】 根据文章标题“A Simple Table Brings a Neighborhood Together”及最后一段提到的这种方式帮助人们交朋友、感受爱，可推知这种成功的邻里互动方式会被更多邻居效仿，更多邻居会在前院放置自己的桌子。 C Wu Yiren, a six-year-old boy from Dongguan, Guangdong province, has become famous online for his love of snooker (斯诺克). Too short to reach the table, he often brings a special stand to competitions, which has quickly won many hearts online. His father, Wu Zhijian, a doctor and longtime snooker fan, often spent evenings playing with friends.

At this meeting, scientists considered China’s project to save the Milu deer to be successful. For forty years, China has worked to bring this animal back from almost disappearing completely. Experts (专家) at the meeting called this project a world model for wildlife protection. The meeting took place on October 24th and 25th. More than 100 experts who study animals and nature attended it.

In the beginning, these deer lived in only two protected areas, in Beijing and Jiangsu Province. Now, they can be found in many parts of the country. The work to return these deer to the wild has also been very successful. There are now six groups of Milu deer living freely in nature, with a total of over 6,000 animals. This system of protection is now the largest and most complete of its kind in the world, offering a safe future for the Milu deer. 50. What did experts think about the project to save the Milu deer?

Each class got a piece of land to grow vegetables. At first, I thought it was just another school task. I didn’t know it would teach me so much. We decided to grow tomatoes. Our teacher showed us how to plant and care for them. Every morning, my classmates and I watered the plants and pulled out weeds (杂草). We learned that plants need just the right amount of water and sunlight. The hardest part was waiting. Weeks passed, and nothing seemed to happen. Some classmates lost interest and stopped coming to the garden, but a few of us kept working. We didn’t give up. We continued to water and take care of the plants every day. Then one day, small green tomatoes appeared! How surprising and exciting it was! Then we watched them grow bigger and turn red day by day. When we finally harvested our tomatoes, the whole class shared them. They tasted better than any tomatoes I had ever eaten. This experience made me truly understand that good results often come from patience and continuous effort. The tomatoes were sweet, but the lesson was truly valuable. 53.

B A Simple Table Brings a Neighborhood Together Ten years ago, Kristin moved to Texas and wanted to connect with her new neighbors. She found that planning big events needed too much preparation. One day, Kristin bought a few picnic tables from Lowe’s for a party. The Lowe’s driver set one table down in her front yard (院子) by mistake. After the party, she painted the table light green—her favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk. That green table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games and ate snacks. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. Slowly, neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. The table became a welcoming meeting point where people naturally met together. Kristin believes people don’t like to invite others inside because they feel their home isn’t perfect. The green table took away that worry. I’ve learned that treating guests doesn’t always need a perfect home or a big party. At the picnic table, all I have to do is show up. “For Kristin, this small change helped her feel less lonely and make friends with her neighbors. People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved,” she says. 39. Why did Kristin put a picnic table in her front yard? A. Because there was no room in her backyard. B. Because the driver accidentally left it there. C. Because she wanted colorful furniture for her garden. D. Because her children needed a place to play outside. 40. What did Kristin do with the picnic table? A. She painted it light green. B. She used it only for big parties. C. She returned it to the store. D. She gave it to her neighbors. 41. Why did the green table make it easier for people to connect? A. Because the color green made people feel happy. B. Because it took away the worry of having a perfect home. C. Because it was in the backyard where it was more private. D. Because Kristin always prepared free meals there. 42. What will probably happen next in this neighborhood? A. Kristin will start a business selling green tables. B. The city government will make rules against front yard tables. C. More neighbors will put their own tables in their front yards. D. People will get tired of the table and stop visiting. C Wu Yiren, a six-year-old boy from Dongguan, Guangdong province, has become famous online for his love of snooker (斯诺克). Too short to reach the table, he often brings a special stand to competitions, which has quickly won many hearts online. His father, Wu Zhijian, a doctor and longtime snooker fan, often spent evenings playing with friends. The younger Wu would watch quietly nearby, and he slowly developed a strong interest in the sport. Seeing the boy’s love for the game, the family planned lessons with Li Jianbing, a national team coach with the Chinese Billiard Sports Association. Under Li’s guidance, Wu’s skills have improved very quickly. According to his father, most of Wu’s free time now goes into practice. The boy himself is clear-eyed about his ambition: he wants to train hard, learn the basics and one day enter more competitions. His dream, he says, is to win the prize in the World Snooker Championship. Wu’s story is part of a bigger change in Dongguan. Dongguan is trying to train snooker players. By doing this in a systematic way, it is becoming known as the “City of Snooker”. 43. Why has Wu Yiren become well-known online? A. Because he is the youngest snooker player in China. B. Because he uses a special stand in the game. C. Because his father is a famous snooker coach. D. Because he won the World Snooker Competition. 44. How did Wu Yiren first become interested in snooker?

What does the underlined word “ambition” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A difficult task he is facing. B. A hobby in his free time. C. A problem he needs to solve. D. A strong wish for the future. D Yelena, a Russian woman, once found it painful to tie her shoes because of her back pain.

At first, I thought it was just another school task. I didn’t know it would teach me so much. We decided to grow tomatoes. Our teacher showed us how to plant and care for them. Every morning, my classmates and I watered the plants and pulled out weeds (杂草). We learned that plants need just the right amount of water and sunlight. The hardest part was waiting. Weeks passed, and nothing seemed to happen. Some classmates lost interest and stopped coming to the garden, but a few of us kept working. We didn’t give up. We continued to water and take care of the plants every day. Then one day, small green tomatoes appeared! How surprising and exciting it was! Then we watched them grow bigger and turn red day by day. When we finally harvested our tomatoes, the whole class shared them. They tasted better than any tomatoes I had ever eaten. This experience made me truly understand that good results often come from patience and continuous effort. The tomatoes were sweet, but the lesson was truly valuable. 53.
