A. yet; already B. already; already C. yet; yet D. already; yet
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我已经到达火车站了。你呢?——还没有到。我正在去车站的路上。
考查副词辨析。already已经,用于肯定句;yet还,用于否定句或一般疑问句。根据“I have...got to the train station.”可知,该句是肯定句,应用already;根据“Not...”可知,该句是否定句,应用yet。故选D。

A. neither B. none C. either D. both
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:汤姆和他的父母都很喜欢游泳,但是他们中没有人擅长滑冰。
考查不定代词辨析。neither两者都不;none三者或三者以上都不;either两者之一;both两者都。根据“Tom and his parents”可知,此处是三者,所以应该用none。故选B。
3. — How was the meeting yesterday?

A. wondered B. argued C. wrote D. imagined
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨天的会议怎么样?——我们就项目的细节争论了好几个小时,但仍然没能达成一致。
wondered想知道;argued争论;wrote写;imagined想象。根据答语中“but still couldn’t reach agreement”可知未能达成一致,说明讨论过程存在分歧,argue over意为“为……争论”,符合语境。应填argued。

A. Without B. Across C. Behind D. Despite
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管天气寒冷,我姐姐每天早上都去跑步。
Without没有;Across穿过;Behind在……后面;Despite尽管。“the cold weather”和“my sister goes running every morning.”之间构成让步关系,且空格后为名词短语,应用Despite表示“尽管”。

【解析】
【详解】句意:我从不冲我的朋友们大喊大叫,因为我觉得这解决不了任何问题。
look at看;shout at对……大喊;point at指向;call at拜访某地。根据后半句“it doesn’t solve any problems”可知,此处表示“对朋友大喊大叫”这种无济于事的行为,应填shout at。

A. wise B. boring C. dangerous D. similar
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:平衡工作与休息来保持健康是一个明智的决定。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——在课堂上我们有任何不懂的东西时,都可以向老师提问。
whenever无论何时,每当;whatever无论什么;wherever无论哪里;whoever无论谁。根据“we don’t understand anything in class”可知,此处指“每当我们课堂上有不懂的内容时”,表时间,应填whenever。
10. —What about going skating in the park this afternoon?

A. Bad luck! B. Never mind. C. Are you joking? D. Sounds great!
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——今天下午去公园滑冰怎么样?——你在开玩笑吗?今天真的很冷。
考查情景交际。Bad luck坏运气;Never mind没关系;Are you joking你在开玩笑吗;Sounds great听起来不错。根据“It’s really cold today.”可知,今天很冷,回答者不想去滑冰,他对对方的建议感到难以置信,所以说“你在开玩笑吗”。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了中国安徽桐城“六尺巷”的由来,清朝官员张英主动让家人退让三尺,邻居吴家深受感动也后退三尺,形成了六尺巷,如今和谐理念在桐城解决各类纠纷中发挥着重要作用的故事。
【11题详解】
句意:这条古老的巷子背后有一个著名的故事。
根据下文讲述的清朝张英家和邻居吴家的纠纷与和解的完整事件,可知这是一个故事,story“故事”符合语境。joke“笑话”不符合事件性质;rule“规则”与后文的事件内容不匹配;saying“谚语”是固定的俗语,后文是具体事件,均不符合。
【12题详解】
句意:在桐城,他的家人和邻居吴家之间因为房屋之间的巷子产生了纠纷。
between…and…是固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”,符合两家人之间有纠纷的语境。beside“在……旁边”表示位置,不表示两者之间的关系;in“在……里面”;around“在……周围”,均不符合此处搭配和语义。
【13题详解】
句意:张家人希望他帮助他们解决这场纠纷。
help sb. (to) do sth. 是固定结构,意为“帮助某人做某事”,符合家人希望当官的张英帮忙解决纠纷的语境。lead sb. to do sth.表示带领某人做某事,不符合此处诉求;hear“听见”语义不通;let sb. do sth.虽然语法正确,但语义不符:want him to let them solve表示 “希望他让他们自行解决纠纷”,和原文语境(家人希望张英出面帮忙解决)不符,故排除。
【14题详解】
句意:张英写了一首诗,告诉他的家人墙只是临时的建筑。
此处指代张英的家人,张英是男性,his“他的”符合指代关系。her“她的”指代女性;your“你的/你们的”;our“我们的”,均不符合人称指代。
【15题详解】
句意:重要的是和邻居的亲密关系。
close relationship是固定搭配,意为“亲密的关系”,符合张英看重邻里情谊的语境。strict“严格的”不能修饰relationship;serious“严肃的”;hard“困难的”,均不符合邻里关系的正向表达。
【16题详解】
句意:他的家人认为他是对的,于是把墙往后退了三尺。
根据后文家人主动退墙的行为,可知家人认同张英的说法,认为他是对的,right“正确的”符合语境。good“好的”不如right贴合“认同观点并照做”的逻辑;different“不同的”;crazy“疯狂的”,均与后文退墙的行为矛盾。
【17题详解】
句意:吴家深受感动,所以他们也做了同样的事。
前文“吴家深受感动”是原因,后文“也后退三尺”是结果,so“所以”表因果关系,符合逻辑。or“或者/否则”表选择或转折;but“但是”表转折;if“如果”表假设,均不符合此处因果逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:如今,桐城已经成为了一座和谐的城市。
become“成为”,后接表示身份/事物的名词,符合城市发展变化的语境。made“制作”;kept“保持”,后接形容词表示保持某种状态,此处后接名词a harmonious city,搭配不当;started“开始”,语义不通。
【19题详解】
句意:和谐理念在这座城市解决各类纠纷中发挥着重要作用。
play an important role是固定搭配,意为“发挥重要作用”,符合后文城市每年解决数千起纠纷的语境,说明和谐理念很重要。simple“简单的”;wrong“错误的”;common“普通的”,均不符合语义。
【20题详解】
句意:凭借这个理念,这座城市每年解决数千起纠纷。
with“凭借;带有”,表示方式、凭借的工具/理念,符合语境。in“在……里面”;on“在……上面”;without“没有”,与后文能解决很多纠纷的结果矛盾,均不符合。

【21题详解】
句意:当我听说学校将要举办英语配音比赛时,我没想过参加这个比赛。
结合下文参赛的经历可知,enter the competition是固定搭配,表示参加比赛,由此说明选用enter,enter“参加”符合语境,watch“观看”、organize“组织”、end“结束”均不符。
【22题详解】

后文提到“put my fear aside”,说明当众说话会紧张,由此说明选用nervous,nervous“紧张的”符合语境,funny“有趣的”、excited“兴奋的”、curious“好奇的”均不符。
【23题详解】
句意:最后,我做了决定。
前文讲内心推动自己放下恐惧抓住机会,最终做出决定,由此说明选用Finally,Finally“最后”符合语境,Normally“通常”、Clearly“清楚地”、Mostly“大部分”均不符。

【25题详解】
句意:但是别无选择,我花了几周看这部电影,练习里面的台词。

【26题详解】
句意:在我等待的时候,我还在默念台词。
比赛当晚大厅坐满了人,还没轮到自己,是在等待上场,由此说明选用waiting,waiting“等待”符合语境,talking“交谈”、reading“阅读”、writing“写”均不符。
【27题详解】
句意:一开始我很紧张,但我一点点冷静下来。
but表转折,从紧张慢慢变得平静,由此说明选用calmed down,calmed down“冷静下来”符合语境,built up“建立”、set out“出发”、went away“离开”均不符。
【28题详解】
句意:然后一切变得好多了,我甚至完成了练习中最难的部分。
冷静之后,表演状态变得更好,由此说明选用better,better“更好的”符合语境,slower“更慢的”、noisier“更吵闹的”、worse“更差的”均不符。
【29题详解】
句意:当我说完最后一句台词,听众起立为我欢呼。
表演结束,完成最后一句台词,由此说明选用finished,finished“完成”符合语境,learned“学习”、noticed“注意到”、sent“发送”均不符。
【30题详解】
句意:当我自豪地走下舞台,我感觉这会是我高中里特别的一天。

Angel and Leonard, two of my classmates, were fighting again. Angel was face to face with Leonard. They were shouting at each other when I walked right up and got between them.
“Enough!” I shouted. But they just didn’t care. I thought for a second. Then I did something unexpected. I turned around like a dancer and stopped in a strange position. I didn’t move, with a big smile on my face.
“Tanisha, what are you doing?” Angel shouted. “Stop it. You are acting so strangely!”
Leonard suddenly started laughing. “Look at her! She’s a stone person.” He walked over and touched me. I suddenly unfroze and started dancing again.
“Let’s play Freeze Tag (冰冻抓人游戏),” I suggested, “If I touch you, you have to freeze in whatever position you are in.”
Leonard looked at me like I was crazy. Then he took off and I ran after him. Leonard dodged left and right, but I knew it was impossible for him to get past me. I froze him. He was like a flying bird! Suddenly everyone was playing including Angel and no one was fighting. The teachers couldn’t believe their eyes.
I told everyone that Freeze Tag was just a beginning. After Freeze Tag was over, we played Spud and Red Light, Green Light. Thanks to everyone playing together, our playground was once again fun!
When the bell rang, we all headed inside. I noticed Angel and Leonard were talking and laughing. I was happy to see them finally getting along well with each other.

【导语】本文讲述Tanisha看到同学Angel和Leonard打架,她没有直接制止争吵,而是提议大家玩冰冻抓人游戏游戏,用有趣的方式化解矛盾,最后两人和好的故事。
【40题详解】
原文第五段“ ‘Let’s play Freeze Tag,’ ” I suggested, “ ‘If I touch you, you have to freeze in whatever position you are in.’ ”,后文提到大家一起玩游戏,没人再打架,说明Tanisha通过玩游戏阻止了这场争斗。
【41题详解】
原文第六段“Leonard dodged left and right, but I knew it was impossible for him to get past me.”,句子描述Leonard左右躲闪,想要躲开Tanisha的追赶,dodged含义为“闪躲”。

Many kids have difficulty keeping quiet or talking in a real way when they have video chats with their families who live far away. They might not enjoy watching videos or reading books either. But now, there’s a storytelling app that helps tell stories in a fun way.
Many family members don’t live in the same place. Chatm is a new app for these family members to stay in touch. Through Chatm, users can join the storytelling activity. “In order to make our kids have the talks with the family members, we need to make the talks interesting,” Dawson, the CEO of Chatm, said.
The Chatm app lets you choose a story and then it gives you advice and adds special effects to make the story exciting. Once you’ve recorded the story you read, you can send it to your little family member. You can do this anytime you want, which is very easy and helpful.
One user, Mike, used Chatm when he was away for work. He turned himself into a fun frog to get his five-year-old daughter’s attention on the phone. She didn’t like talking on the phone, but now she and her father like reading stories together every night using Chatm.
Chatm is a useful tool and any grandparent can learn to use it easily and quickly. “They usually have little understanding of technology,” said Dawson. “But many grandparents are using Chatm to have a talk with their grandchildren.”
44. How did the writer introduce the topic?
A. By telling stories. B. By showing results.
C. By asking questions. D. By showing problems.
45. What can users do with Chatm according to the passage?
A. Chatm teaches users different languages.
B. Chatm only lets users have real-time video calls.
C. They can only watch videos and read books on Chatm.
D. They can send the stories they’ve recorded to others.
46. What might Mike think of the app?
A. Old. B. Popular. C. Helpful. D. Expensive.

Over 500 robots from 16 countries formed 280 teams to take part in sports, dances, and practical tasks during the three-day event.

3 Real-world challenges (限时任务挑战): Tasks like sorting hospital medicines or cleaning hotel rooms in 20 minutes.
Teams from top universities (like Tsinghua University and Peking University) and companies joined international event. A Chinese official said every robot was “making history.” Though robots sometimes made mistakes, the events aimed to improve technology through practice. The Games show China’s progress in AI robotics and give us a look at a future where humans and machines work together.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
It was a Friday. I can still remember that day clearly. I got up early in the morning. After washing up, I went to school nervously without breakfast because I did not feel like eating anything.
At school, I saw some of my classmates talking at a corner so I went over to join them. They were just as nervous as I was. After a few minutes, my class teacher, Miss Anne, came out from the teachers’ office. In her hands were the school reports. As she was handing out the reports, my heart beat wildly. Soon, it was my turn. My legs were trembling (颤抖) badly as I walked over to my teacher. There was a big smile on her face and she showed me my report. I could not believe my eyes when I saw my report! I scored straight A’s (全优) in the final exam! I couldn’t help jumping up and down in excitement.
It was an unforgettable day to me as I was not born to be a smart girl. However, I did not look down upon myself. I kept working harder to improve my grades. With all my sweat (汗水), my hard work has finally paid off. To students like me, I would say: ____________
53. How did the students feel before the teacher handed out the reports? (不超过5个词)
____________________________________________________________________
54. Why did the writer jump up and down after she saw her report? (不超过10个词)
____________________________________________________________________
55. What would the writer say at the end of the text? (不超过10个词)
____________________________________________________________________
【答案】53. Nervous./ They felt nervous./They were nervous.
54. Because she scored straight A’s in the final exam.
55. Where there is a will, there’s a way./Keep working hard, and you can make it.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了作者出考试成绩那天的经历。
【53题详解】
根据“They were just as nervous as I was.”可知,在老师发报告之前,学生们的感觉很紧张。故填Nervous./ They felt nervous./They were nervous.
【54题详解】
根据“I scored straight A’s (全优) in the final exam! I couldn’t help jumping up and down in excitement.”可知,作者在看了她的报告后会跳起来是因为她在期末考试中得了全A。故填Because she scored straight A’s in the final exam.
【55题详解】
答案不唯一,言之有理即可。例如:本文主要讲了作者期末考试得了全A,她感到很开心。根据“With all my sweat (汗水), my hard work has finally paid off.”及上文可知,作者认为自己所有的汗水,自己的努力得到了回报。因此文章结尾作者会告诉像他一样的学生:有志者事竟成(或继续努力,你会成功的)。故填Where there is a will, there’s a way./Keep working hard, and you can make it.

【61题详解】
句意:当他赢了的时候,他会感觉非常棒。此处修饰形容词good,应用副词really。
【62题详解】
句意:很快彼得和阿尔伯特之间将有一场比赛。此处泛指“一场比赛”,且match以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。
【63题详解】

【64题详解】
句意:无论他赢还是输,阿尔伯特都玩得很开心。此处表示“玩得开心”,应用反身代词himself,构成enjoy himself。
【65题详解】
句意:彼得开始明白,享受比赛比赢重要得多。此处有much修饰比较级,且than提示用比较级,important的比较级是more important。

Many kids have difficulty keeping quiet or talking in a real way when they have video chats with their families who live far away. They might not enjoy watching videos or reading books either. But now, there’s a storytelling app that helps tell stories in a fun way.
Many family members don’t live in the same place. Chatm is a new app for these family members to stay in touch. Through Chatm, users can join the storytelling activity. “In order to make our kids have the talks with the family members, we need to make the talks interesting,” Dawson, the CEO of Chatm, said.
