For example, trees clean the air we breathe every day. A. how B. what C. when D. where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能举一个例子说明人类和自然是如何联系的吗？——当然。例如，树木净化我们每天呼吸的空气。 how如何；what什么；when何时；where何地。根据答语“For example, trees clean the air we breathe every day.”可知，此处是举例说明人类与自然联系的方式，应用how引导宾语从句。 4. Tina didn’t leave the classroom ________ she worked out the math problem. A. if B. until C. so D. or 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：直到解出这道数学题，蒂娜才离开教室。 if如果；until直到……为止；so所以；or或者。根据“didn’t leave”可知此处是固定搭配not...until...，意为“直到……才……”，表示动作直到某一时刻才发生，因此选项B“until”符合语境。 5. —Mr Black, could I go to the toilet now? —Of course you ________. A. could B. can C. should D. must 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——布莱克老师，我现在可以去洗手间吗？——当然你可以。 could可以（表委婉语气）；can可以；should应该；must必须。问句用“could”表委婉请求，回答时要用can，应填can。 6.

After the party, the kids helped to ________ the mess in the kitchen. A. wake up B. meet up C. hang up D. clean up 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：聚会结束后，孩子们帮忙清理了厨房里的杂乱。 wake up醒来，叫醒；meet up会面，碰头；hang up挂断电话，挂起；clean up清理，打扫。根据空后的“the mess in the kitchen”可知，此处表示在聚会后收拾和打扫脏乱的现场，clean up the mess为常用搭配，意为“清理混乱，收拾残局”，符合语境逻辑。 8. —What happened when you heard the good news? —We all jumped with ________. We were so excited! A. victory B. peace C. joy D. humour 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——当你听到这个好消息时发生了什么？——我们都高兴得跳了起来。我们太兴奋了！ victory胜利；peace和平；joy喜悦；humour幽默。根据“What happened when you heard the good news?”及“We were so excited!”可知，听到好消息感到兴奋，应该是充满喜悦，jump with joy为固定搭配，意为“高兴得跳起来”。故选C。 9. —Do you care about your parents? —Yes, of course. ________ in my life is more important than them. A. Something B. Nothing C. Anything D. Everything 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你关心你的父母吗？——是的，当然。我生命中没有比他们更重要的了。 考查不定代词辨析。something某些事；nothing没什么；anything任何事；everything每件事。根据“…in my life is more important than them.”可知，此处指的是“我生命中没有比他们更重要的了”，否定词+比较级表示“没有比……更……的了”，是最高级的用法，故选B。 10. —I think moss is one of ________ plants in the world. —I agree with you. Moss appeared on earth around 470 million years ago. A. Old B. older C. oldest D. the oldest 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为苔藓是世界上最古老的植物之一。——我同意你的观点。苔藓大约在4.7亿年前就出现在地球上了。 固定搭配“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”，表示“最……之一”，最高级前需加定冠词the，因此填the oldest。 VI. 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Holly was a therapy (治疗) dog.

Now she has retired (退休). On April 15th, the hospital held a(n) ____12____ party to say goodbye to her. Holly started her work as a therapy dog because her ____13____, Barry, saw that she was very calm (沉着的) and kind. They joined a group called Pets As Therapy, and Holly ____14____ became a star. Barry said it was a sad day, but he knew it was time for Holly to ____15____ after many years of hard work. Nathan Askew, the hospital leader, said Holly was very ____16____ to everyone there. She made a big ____17____ to the children, their families and the hospital workers. People loved to see her at the hospital. Nathan even thought Holly was the most famous “person” there.

A. tool B. smell C. budget D. love 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 16. D 17. C 18. B 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述治疗犬Holly在利物浦一家儿童医院工作八年，陪伴、安慰病人与医护人员；如今它退休，医院为它举办告别派对，大家铭记多年来它带来的爱与慰藉。 【11题详解】 句意：在那些年期间，Holly访问了医院500次，帮助数千名儿童、他们的家人以及医护人员舒缓情绪。 根据“those years”，可知表示时间段。during those years表示“在那些年间”，符合时间语境。 【12题详解】 句意：在4月15日，医院举办了一个特别的派对向她告别。 根据“say goodbye to her”可知是举办送别退休治疗犬的派对，是一场特别活动，选special“特别的”。ancient“古老的”；strange“奇怪的”；soft“柔软的”，语义不通。 【13题详解】 句意：Holly开始担任治疗犬，因为它的主人Barry发现它沉着友善。 根据语境，狗通常由主人带领参加工作。owner“主人”，狗对应的是主人。farmer“农民”；worker“工人”；waiter“服务员”，不符合上下文。 【14题详解】 句意：他们加入一个叫Pets As Therapy的组织，Holly很快成了明星。 quickly“很快地”，描述Holly迅速受到大家喜爱。brightly“明亮地”；probably“大概”；freshly“新近”，不合适。 【15题详解】 句意：Barry说这是令人难过的一天，但他知道多年辛苦工作后，是时候让Holly休息了。 根据前文“retired”和空后“after many years of hard work”可知多年辛苦工作后应休息，用rest。 【16题详解】 句意：医院负责人Nathan Askew说，Holly对这里的每个人都非常重要。 后文写Holly带来很多积极影响，因此Holly对这里的每个人都非常重要，选important“重要的”。terrible“糟糕的”；playful“爱玩耍的”；balanced“平衡的”，不合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：她给孩子们、他们的家人以及医护人员带来很大影响。 根据“People loved to see her at the hospital. Nathan even thought Holly was the most famous ‘person’ there. He also said that Holly made the children feel more…”可知，Holly是治疗犬，帮助很多人，对医院所有人很重要，她给大家带来巨大的积极影响，此处为固定搭配make a difference“产生很大影响”。 【18题详解】 句意：他还说Holly让孩子们在接受治疗时感觉更加放松。 根据“when they were getting treatment (治疗)”，可知治疗通常紧张，治疗犬帮助孩子缓解压力，感到放松，relaxed“放松的”。similar“相似的”；serious“严肃的”；outgoing“外向的”，不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：在艰难的时光里，她给他们带来幸福与平静。 根据“happiness and peace”，可知是带来情感，brought符合搭配。 【20题详解】 句意：尽管Holly已经退休，医院所有人都会记住这些年她所给予的爱和慰藉。 连词and连接两个并列名词，空格单词要和comfort（慰藉）感情色彩一致，都是褒义、抽象的精神层面的词，love“爱”符合。 B Duncan ran into the house and went straight to the TV. It was time for his favorite ____21____, Zappy Zippers. But just as he was about to get the remote control (遥控), he ____22____, “Oh no! I almost forget about the TV-Free Challenge (挑战)!” The TV-Free Challenge was something his ____23____, Mr. Green, gave as homework. He ____24____ the kids and their families to turn off their TV for one week. That means there were no cartoons, no movies and no Zappy-Zippers. Duncan ____25____ he watched too much TV, sometimes more than two hours a day. So, he planned to try something ____26____. He played with his dog, washed the dishes after dinner, and played cards with his mom. For the next few days, Duncan stayed away from the TV and did other interesting ____27____ like playing soccer and reading books. On Friday, Duncan’s mom almost turned on the TV to watch the news, but Duncan stopped her ____28____. When the week was over on Monday, Mr. Green gave out awards (奖励) to the students who did the TV-Free Challenge. Duncan was ____29____ to show his dad his award when he got home. His dad was ____30____ cooking dinner, so Duncan helped him. After they finished, Duncan looked at the clock and saw it was almost 5:30. He smiled and told his dad, “You know what? I didn’t think about Zappy-Zippers, and I even didn’t miss it at all!” 21. A. show B. book C. magazine D. prize 22. A. sang B. shared C. shouted D. wrote 23. A. father B. teacher C. friend D. doctor 24. A. asked B. excused C. helped D. ordered 25. A. wondered B. planned C. expected D. knew 26. A. new B. meaningless C. famous D. cheap 27. A. competitions B. discussions C. activities D. classes 28. A. easily B. quickly C. carefully D. quietly 29. A. shy B. serious C. afraid D. excited 30. A. bored B. lazy C. busy D. interested 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C 28. B 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述邓肯参加老师布置的“无电视挑战”，一周不看电视，尝试新活动，最终获奖并发现生活更有趣的故事。 【21题详解】 句意：到了他最喜欢的节目Zappy Zippers的播出时间。 前文提到邓肯径直走向电视，show意为“节目”，契合电视播放的内容，符合句意；book意为“书”，magazine意为“杂志”，prize意为“奖品”，这几项都不属于电视播放的内容。 【22题详解】 句意：但就在他要拿遥控器的时候，他大喊：“哦不！我差点忘了无电视挑战！” 邓肯突然想起挑战任务，发出惊呼，shouted意为“大喊”，贴合人物当下的反应，符合逻辑；sang意为“唱歌”，shared意为“分享”，wrote意为“写”，代入句子无法匹配猛然记起事情的场景。 【23题详解】 句意：无电视挑战是他的老师格林先生布置的家庭作业。 能给学生布置家庭作业的身份是老师，teacher意为“老师”，符合句意；father意为“父亲”，friend意为“朋友”，doctor意为“医生”，这几类身份不会给学生布置作业。 【24题详解】 句意：他要求孩子们和他们的家人关掉电视一周。 老师向学生提出任务要求，asked意为“要求”，ask sb. to do sth.为常用表达，符合师生之间的交流语气；excused意为“原谅”，helped意为“帮助”，ordered意为“命令”，命令一词语气过于强硬，不适合师生场景。 【25题详解】 句意：邓肯知道他看电视太多，有时一天超过两个小时。 邓肯清楚自己看电视时间过长这件事，knew意为“知道”，符合句意；wondered意为“想知道”，planned意为“计划”，expected意为“期待”，代入句子语义不通。 【26题详解】 句意：所以他打算尝试一些新事情。 为了减少看电视，邓肯准备体验不一样的事情，new意为“新的”，符合逻辑；meaningless意为“无意义的”，famous意为“著名的”，cheap意为“便宜的”，和句子表达的语境不匹配。 【27题详解】 句意：在接下来的几天，邓肯远离电视，做其他有趣的活动，比如踢足球和读书。 踢足球、读书都属于休闲活动，activities意为“活动”，符合句意；competitions意为“比赛”，discussions意为“讨论”，classes意为“课程”，踢足球和读书不一定是比赛、讨论或者课程。 【28题详解】 句意：周五，邓肯的妈妈差点打开电视看新闻，但是邓肯迅速阻止了她。 妈妈马上就要打开电视，邓肯需要立刻制止，quickly意为“快速地”，贴合当时的情景；easily意为“容易地”，carefully意为“仔细地”，quietly意为“安静地”，无法体现紧急制止的状态。 【29题详解】 句意：邓肯很激动，等爸爸回家给他看奖状。 成功完成挑战拿到奖状，内心会十分兴奋，excited意为“激动的”，符合人物心情；shy意为“害羞的”，serious意为“严肃的”，afraid意为“害怕的”，都不能用来描述获奖后的感受。 【30题详解】 句意：他爸爸正忙着做晚饭，于是邓肯去帮他。 根据“Duncan helped him”可知爸爸正在忙，需要帮助，be busy doing sth.表示忙于做某事，busy意为“忙碌的”，符合句意；bored意为“无聊的”，lazy意为“懒惰的”，interested意为“感兴趣的”，不能用来表达正在做饭的状态。 Ⅶ. 补全对话 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从方框内的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, Sally!

I read a book at home. G. When did you get it? 【答案】31. F 32. A 33. D 34. G 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是A和Sally的对话，二人聊到上周末的活动，相约骑车去Farm Hill短途出行，并谈及Sally的新自行车。 【31题详解】 上文Sally反问A周末过得怎么样，后文提到“It was written by Mark Twain.”介绍书的作者。F项“I read a book at home.”回答自己在家读了一本书，和下文对书籍的描述相衔接。 【32题详解】 下文A回答“We can go there by bike.”说明出行的交通方式。A项“How can we go there?”询问我们可以怎样去那里，引出下文交通方式的作答。 【33题详解】 下文“It’s only about 3 kilometers.”说明距离只有大约3千米。D项“It’s not very far from here.”表明那里离这儿不太远，与后文的距离信息对应。 【34题详解】 下文B回复“I got it last week.”说明得到自行车的时间。G项“When did you get it?”询问你什么时候得到它的，匹配下文时间的回答。 【35题详解】 下文B回答“My father bought it for me as a birthday gift.”说明自行车是谁送的生日礼物。B项“Who bought it for you?”询问是谁给你买的，引出下文赠送人的表述。 第三部分 阅读理解 (共两大题，满分40分) Ⅷ. 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Labor (劳动) is very good for middle school students’ study and health.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了学校计划下周开设的四门劳动课程，分别说明了每门课程的学习内容、上课时间等相关信息，帮助学生了解不同劳动课的安排。 【36题详解】 根据文章Class One部分“Just make sure you ’re free between 4:00pm and 5:30 pm every Thursday.”可知，烹饪课的上课时间为每周四下午4点到5点半，因此想学烹饪可以在周四下午4点参加课程。 【37题详解】 根据文章Class Three部分“You’ll learn some important skills to make your home clean and tidy. Miss Rome will be waiting for you at 3:00 pm every Wednesday.”可知，Rome老师的课程教授让家变得干净整洁的技能，也就是清洁技能。 【38题详解】 根据文章Class Four部分“However, if it’s rainy or windy, the class will be postponed (推迟).”可知，第四门课程在下雨或刮风时会推迟，因此天气会影响这门课的开展。 B An artist painted a small, beautiful picture. He hung it in his house, and he could see it in a mirror. The animals outside heard about the picture from the artist’s cat. When the cat told the other animals about the picture, they asked what it was. The cat explained that it was a wonderful piece of art. Then they asked about the mirror. The cat said, “It’s like a hole (洞) in the wall. When you look in it, you’ll see the beautiful picture.” This excited the animals. But the donkey didn’t believe the cat’s words. He decided to take a look at the picture himself. When he looked in the mirror, all he could see was a donkey. He quickly went back and told the others that the cat had lied. The lion was surprised, so he went to have a look too. But when he came back, he said there was a lion in the “hole”. The animals were quite confused (困惑的). One by one, they went to look at the picture. None of them could see it in the mirror, and they all said they could see a different animal instead. While the animals fought over who was lying, the cat shook his head and laughed. “You’re all missing the point!” he said. “The problem was where you were standing. When you stood right in front of the mirror, you blocked (挡住) the beautiful view behind you. All you could see was yourself!” 39. Why were the animals excited after hearing the cat’s words? A. Because they thought the cat was telling a joke. B. Because they wanted to find the hole in the wall. C. Because they wanted to see the picture in the mirror. D. Because they respected the cat and wanted to learn from him. 40. Put the following information into the right order according to the text. a. The lion went to the artist’s house. b. The donkey saw himself in the mirror. c. The artist hung the picture on the wall. d. The animals had a fight about the “liar (说谎者)”. e. The cat’s words made the other animals excited. A. c-e-b-a-d B. c-a-b-e-d C. c-b-e-a-d D. a-c-b-d-e 41. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. We should always believe our friends. B. You need to find a good place to enjoy a work of art. C. Art is only for clever and careful people to enjoy. D. Your viewpoint (视角) may stop you from seeing some things. 【答案】39. C 40. A 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过讲述动物们听猫说镜子里有画，纷纷前去查看却只看到自己倒影的故事，揭示了因站位不当挡住视线而产生误解的核心内容，探讨了视角限制视野的道理。 【39题详解】 第2段“The cat said, ‘It’s like a hole (洞) in the wall. When you look in it, you’ll see the beautiful picture.’ This excited the animals.”可推出动物们兴奋，是因为他们想要去镜子里看一看这幅画。 【40题详解】 第1段“He hung it in his house”画家挂画，c排第一；第2段“This excited the animals”猫的话让动物兴奋，e排第二；第3段“But the donkey didn’t believe the cat’s words…When he looked in the mirror, all he could see was a donkey.”说明驴先看镜子，b排第三；第3段“The lion was surprised, so he went to have a look too.”表明狮子随后去看，a排第四；第5段“While the animals fought over who was lying”表明动物们争执，d排第五。正确顺序为c-e-b-a-d。 【41题详解】 第5段“The problem was where you were standing. When you stood right in front of the mirror, you blocked (挡住) the beautiful view behind you.”表明猫指出问题在于站位挡住了视线，说明所处的视角可能会阻碍我们看到真相。 C Xu Jingkun, known as the “one-armed skipper (船长)”, has made history. He has become the first Chinese skipper to finish the Vendée Globe. It is one of the world’s most difficult sailboat races. During this race, sailors must go around the world without stopping or getting extra (额外的) help. The race began in 1989 and is held every four years. It is known as the “Qomolangma of ocean racing”. And it was once led by European sailors. The 35-year-old Paralympian (残奥会运动员) set off from Les Sables-d’Olonne in France in November 2024. A total of 40 people joined in the race, and seven of them gave up for different reasons. In February 2025, Xu crossed the finish line in the 30th place, finishing the journey in 99 days, 19 hours and 6 minutes. ▲ Born in Pingdu, Shandong Province, Xu had two life-changing experiences at the age of 12—seeing the sea for the first time and losing his lower left arm in a fireworks (烟花) accident. “Losing my arm taught me to be brave, and from then on, I wanted to push myself to the limit (极限). Discovering the sea opened up a new world for me,” he says. Xu is also a “dream builder”. He hopes others can follow their dreams. “Great things happen when people never give up. You must keep trying to find out what is possible,” he says. 42. Why did people say Xu Jingkun made history? A. Because he is the youngest winner of the Vendée Globe. B. Because he is the first sailor to finish the sailboat race without stopping. C. Because he is the first Chinese skipper to finish the Vendée Globe. D. Because he is the first disabled person from China to join in the sailboat race. 43. Which sentence can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 2? A. He showed a great interest in sports. B. He is also the 100th person to finish this race. C. He believes hard work brings success. D. He had to face a lot of difficulties and dangers. 44. How did Xu lose his lower left arm? A.

We can use digital devices (设备) to read e-books. It’s not difficult to get e-books. We can find a lot of e-books easily on the Internet. Are e-books better than paper books? It’s hard to answer this question. But there was a study showing paper books were better than e-books. Some researchers studied how 37 pairs of parents and children talked with each other while reading e-books and printed books. Researchers gave parents some kinds of books. These were printed books, e-books, and e-books with pictures and sound effects. They found parents and children talked to each other less when they read e-books. Parents asked fewer questions and made fewer comments about the e-books. When they read printed books, parents and children talked more. A researcher found out an interesting fact. He said parents and children talked more about the device and the technology than about the story. Children often said some words like “I’d like to watch that cartoon” or “don’t turn it down”. Parents often said, “Don’t push that button (按钮).” They seldom talked about the story. Therefore, the researchers said paper books were better than e-books. And they encouraged parents to buy more paper books and read them to their children. 46. Who did the researchers study? A. 37 children only. B. 37 teachers and 37 students C. 37 adults without children. D. 37 pairs of parents and children. 47. Which of the following did the researchers agree with? A. E-books are better than paper books. B. Parents should read paper books to their kids. C. Paper books are easier to get than e-books. D. E-books with sound effects help kids love reading. 48. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why paper books may be better for families. B. Ways to talk more while reading books. C. How to choose between e-books and paper books. D. The advantages of reading e-books online. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于亲子阅读的科学研究，通过对比电子书与纸质书对亲子互动交流的不同影响，阐述了纸质书对家庭阅读更有益的原因。 【46题详解】 第二段第一句指出“Some researchers studied how 37 pairs of parents and children talked with each other while reading e-books and printed books.”，这直接说明研究人员的研究对象是37对父母和孩子。 【47题详解】 第四段第一、二句指出“Therefore, the researchers said paper books were better than e-books. And they encouraged parents to buy more paper books and read them to their children.”，这直接说明研究人员赞同父母应该多买纸质书并读给孩子们听。 【48题详解】 文章首段提出“研究表明纸质书比电子书更好”的核心观点，第二、三段通过实验事实详细解释了相较于电子书，亲子共读纸质书能带来更多关于故事本身的深入交流，尾段呼吁父母多给孩子读纸质书。因此，A选项“Why paper books may be better for families”最适合作文章标题。 E Great news for nature! The number of Baer’s pochards (青头潜鸭) in China has risen from 1,000 in 2012 to over 2,500 now. These ducks have dark green heads and red eyes, and they are one of the world’s most endangered animals. In the past, they lived all over East and Southeast Asia. But in the 1900s, people hunted them and they lost their homes, so they almost died out. Today, over 80% of these ducks spend the winter in China. Scientists studied 212 places in 21 Chinese provinces and found that most of the ducks live in 16 important areas, each with at least 30 ducks. Surprisingly, they love small, old fish ponds (池塘) with lots of plants and medium-sized lakes. People in our country have tried hard to save these ducks. They protected bird flying routes (路线) and improved damaged wetlands (受损湿地). Local people also helped by guarding duck nests and cleaning their living areas. Scientists even put special collars (项圈) on some ducks to learn more about them. One of the workers said, “We will keep on doing what we are doing. Besides, we will encourage more people to care.” Thanks to these actions, the ducks are increasing in number instead of dying out. We need to remember that protecting nature can stop endangered animals from dying out. Let’s hope these special ducks keep doing well! 49. What can we learn about Baer’s pochards from the text? ①Their appearance ②Their past living places ③Their role in the ecosystem ④Why they were in danger A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 50. How did the writer introduce the scientists’ work? A. By giving examples. B. By using their words C. By using some numbers. D. By making a comparison 51. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Protecting bird routes is important. B. Scientists studied the ducks with collars. C. It was hard for people to save the ducks. D. People helped the ducks in different ways. 52. Why did the writer write the text? A. To teach us how to save Baer’s pochards. B. To explain why scientists saved Baer’s pochards. C. To encourage us to learn about Baer’s pochards. D. To talk about how China saved Baer’s pochards. 【答案】49. B 50. C 51. D 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了青头潜鸭的数量增长、外貌特征、濒危原因以及中国为保护它们所采取的措施和取得的成效。 【49题详解】 根据第一段中“These ducks have dark green heads and red eyes”可知①外貌；根据第二段中“In the past, they lived all over East and Southeast Asia”可知②过去居住地；根据第二段中“people hunted them and they lost their homes, so they almost died out”可知④濒危原因。文章未提及③。 【50题详解】 根据第二段中“Scientists studied 212 places in 21 Chinese provinces and found that most of the ducks live in 16 important areas, each with at least 30 ducks.”可知，作者通过列举具体数字来介绍科学家的工作。 【51题详解】 根据第三段中“People in our country have tried hard to save these ducks.”及后续列举的保护路线、改善湿地、当地人守护巢穴等措施，可知本段主要讲述人们通过不同方式帮助鸭子。 【52题详解】 根据第一段中“Great news for nature! The number of Baer’s pochards (青头潜鸭) ... in China has risen”及全文关于中国各方保护措施的描述，可知作者旨在讲述中国如何拯救青头潜鸭。 F 第二节 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)。 Long ago, the cold winter was coming. All the birds flew south except one little bird. He could not fly with a broken wing. “I will ask the trees in the forest if they can keep me warm in the cold winter,” he said. He first met a tall birch (桦树). He sang, “Will you allow me to stay warm in your branches (树枝) during the cold winter?” “Of course not!” the birch tree said. “I have to take care of my branches.” The little bird continued asking other trees but they didn’t agree. The poor little bird kept jumping with his broken wing. The fir tree (冷杉) saw him and said, “Come here, little bird. You may spend the winter in my branches.” The pine tree (松树) nearby said, “I will use my branches to keep the wind away. You may eat my seeds. They are good food for birds.” The little bird was very comfortable in his warm house, protected from the cold wind and with seeds to eat. That night, the king said, “North Wind, it’s time to start winter. Blow the leaves from trees except those helping the bird with the broken wing. They may keep their leaves even in winter. I want to make them know: ________________________________53________________________________” 53. Why did the little bird stay? (不超过5个词) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How were the fir tree and the pine tree? (不超过10个词) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What might the king say? (不超过10个词) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. Because his wing was broken. 54. They were kind and helpful. 55. Helping others helps yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则寓言故事，主要讲述了一只翅膀受伤的小鸟在冬天寻求庇护，冷杉和松树帮助了它，最终得到国王奖赏的故事。 【53题详解】 根据文章第一段中“He could not fly with a broken wing.（他翅膀断了飞不起来。）”可推知小鸟留下来是因为翅膀受伤无法飞行。故填“Because his wing was broken.”。 【54题详解】 根据文章第五段中“You may spend the winter in my branches.（你可以在我的树枝里过冬。）”和第六段中“I will use my branches to keep the wind away.（我会用树枝为你挡风。）”可推知冷杉和松树善良且乐于助人。故填“They were kind and helpful.”。 【55题详解】 根据文章第七段中“Blow the leaves from trees except those helping the bird with the broken wing.（吹掉树叶，除了那些帮助受伤小鸟的树。）”可推知国王想让他们知道善行会有回报或帮助他人就是帮助自己。故填“Helping others helps yourself.”。 第四部分 写 (共两大题，满分25分) IX. 单词拼写 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56. —Can you help me find a book in the library? —Sure.

The animals outside heard about the picture from the artist’s cat. When the cat told the other animals about the picture, they asked what it was. The cat explained that it was a wonderful piece of art. Then they asked about the mirror. The cat said, “It’s like a hole (洞) in the wall. When you look in it, you’ll see the beautiful picture.” This excited the animals. But the donkey didn’t believe the cat’s words. He decided to take a look at the picture himself. When he looked in the mirror, all he could see was a donkey. He quickly went back and told the others that the cat had lied. The lion was surprised, so he went to have a look too. But when he came back, he said there was a lion in the “hole”. The animals were quite confused (困惑的). One by one, they went to look at the picture. None of them could see it in the mirror, and they all said they could see a different animal instead. While the animals fought over who was lying, the cat shook his head and laughed. “You’re all missing the point!” he said. “The problem was where you were standing. When you stood right in front of the mirror, you blocked (挡住) the beautiful view behind you. All you could see was yourself!” 39. Why were the animals excited after hearing the cat’s words? A. Because they thought the cat was telling a joke. B. Because they wanted to find the hole in the wall. C. Because they wanted to see the picture in the mirror. D.

He has become the first Chinese skipper to finish the Vendée Globe. It is one of the world’s most difficult sailboat races. During this race, sailors must go around the world without stopping or getting extra (额外的) help. The race began in 1989 and is held every four years. It is known as the “Qomolangma of ocean racing”. And it was once led by European sailors. The 35-year-old Paralympian (残奥会运动员) set off from Les Sables-d’Olonne in France in November 2024. A total of 40 people joined in the race, and seven of them gave up for different reasons. In February 2025, Xu crossed the finish line in the 30th place, finishing the journey in 99 days, 19 hours and 6 minutes. ▲ Born in Pingdu, Shandong Province, Xu had two life-changing experiences at the age of 12—seeing the sea for the first time and losing his lower left arm in a fireworks (烟花) accident. “Losing my arm taught me to be brave, and from then on, I wanted to push myself to the limit (极限). Discovering the sea opened up a new world for me,” he says. Xu is also a “dream builder”. He hopes others can follow their dreams. “Great things happen when people never give up.

It’s not difficult to get e-books. We can find a lot of e-books easily on the Internet. Are e-books better than paper books? It’s hard to answer this question. But there was a study showing paper books were better than e-books. Some researchers studied how 37 pairs of parents and children talked with each other while reading e-books and printed books. Researchers gave parents some kinds of books. These were printed books, e-books, and e-books with pictures and sound effects. They found parents and children talked to each other less when they read e-books. Parents asked fewer questions and made fewer comments about the e-books. When they read printed books, parents and children talked more. A researcher found out an interesting fact. He said parents and children talked more about the device and the technology than about the story. Children often said some words like “I’d like to watch that cartoon” or “don’t turn it down”. Parents often said, “Don’t push that button (按钮).” They seldom talked about the story. Therefore, the researchers said paper books were better than e-books. And they encouraged parents to buy more paper books and read them to their children. 46. Who did the researchers study? A. 37 children only. B. 37 teachers and 37 students C. 37 adults without children. D. 37 pairs of parents and children. 47. Which of the following did the researchers agree with? A. E-books are better than paper books. B. Parents should read paper books to their kids. C. Paper books are easier to get than e-books. D. E-books with sound effects help kids love reading. 48. What can be the best title of the passage?

E Great news for nature! The number of Baer’s pochards (青头潜鸭) in China has risen from 1,000 in 2012 to over 2,500 now. These ducks have dark green heads and red eyes, and they are one of the world’s most endangered animals. In the past, they lived all over East and Southeast Asia. But in the 1900s, people hunted them and they lost their homes, so they almost died out. Today, over 80% of these ducks spend the winter in China. Scientists studied 212 places in 21 Chinese provinces and found that most of the ducks live in 16 important areas, each with at least 30 ducks. Surprisingly, they love small, old fish ponds (池塘) with lots of plants and medium-sized lakes. People in our country have tried hard to save these ducks. They protected bird flying routes (路线) and improved damaged wetlands (受损湿地). Local people also helped by guarding duck nests and cleaning their living areas. Scientists even put special collars (项圈) on some ducks to learn more about them. One of the workers said, “We will keep on doing what we are doing. Besides, we will encourage more people to care.” Thanks to these actions, the ducks are increasing in number instead of dying out. We need to remember that protecting nature can stop endangered animals from dying out. Let’s hope these special ducks keep doing well! 49. What can we learn about Baer’s pochards from the text? ①Their appearance ②Their past living places ③Their role in the ecosystem ④Why they were in danger A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 50. How did the writer introduce the scientists’ work? A. By giving examples. B. By using their words C. By using some numbers. D. By making a comparison 51. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Protecting bird routes is important. B. Scientists studied the ducks with collars. C. It was hard for people to save the ducks. D. People helped the ducks in different ways. 52. Why did the writer write the text? A. To teach us how to save Baer’s pochards. B. To explain why scientists saved Baer’s pochards. C. To encourage us to learn about Baer’s pochards. D. To talk about how China saved Baer’s pochards. F 第二节 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)。 Long ago, the cold winter was coming. All the birds flew south except one little bird. He could not fly with a broken wing. “I will ask the trees in the forest if they can keep me warm in the cold winter,” he said. He first met a tall birch (桦树). He sang, “Will you allow me to stay warm in your branches (树枝) during the cold winter?” “Of course not!” the birch tree said. “I have to take care of my branches.” The little bird continued asking other trees but they didn’t agree. The poor little bird kept jumping with his broken wing. The fir tree (冷杉) saw him and said, “Come here, little bird. You may spend the winter in my branches.” The pine tree (松树) nearby said, “I will use my branches to keep the wind away. You may eat my seeds. They are good food for birds.” The little bird was very comfortable in his warm house, protected from the cold wind and with seeds to eat. That night, the king said, “North Wind, it’s time to start winter. Blow the leaves from trees except those helping the bird with the broken wing. They may keep their leaves even in winter.
