My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old son and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be 1 . But soon, the clouds of mosquitos seemed 2 to our bug spray (喷雾). I was sweating, itchy, and arguing with my son about how to pull weeds. I had told him the “right” way — getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, 3 them entirely. However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the 4 of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly 5 . Why couldn’t he do it in my way and save me the time of having to 6 his portion (部分)? Why did he do it at all if he wasn’t going to do it properly? “If you do as told, we’d be done earlier and 7 a longer period before we would have to return and pull weeds next time,” I said, trying to keep my tone 8 . He went back to his work, shaking dirt from his handful of growing things and throwing 9 stems into our shared basket. “People do things 10 , Mom,” he said innocently. My fire soon faded, replaced by the humbling 11 that I’d just received a valuable 12 from the person that I was supposed to be teaching. While trying to 13 my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, 14 was a lifeline for me. But my way was, perhaps, not the best way after all. His time shouldn’t be 15 . His job was to be a kid and take his time, for as long as he was able. 1．A．relaxing B．disturbing C．urgent D．tough 2．A．sensitive B．resistant C．harmful D．addicted 3．A．removing B．packing C．covering D．preserving 4．A．roots B．fibres C．tops D．points 5．A．amazing B．boring C．annoying D．confusing 6．A．recycle B．redo C．identify D．ignore 7．A．clarified B．launched C．repeated D．promised 8．A．nervous B．mysterious C．light D．loud 9．A．long B．broken C．strong D．useful 10．A．differently B．separately C．hurriedly D．honestly 11．A．ambition B．symbol C．breakthrough D．realization 12．A．behavior B．warning C．lesson D．review 13．A．raise B．land C．teach D．balance 14．A．efficiency B．concentration C．discipline D．quality 15．A．run out of B．set limits to C．made up for D．kept pace with 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．B 7．D 8．C 9．B 10．A 11．D 12．C 13．D 14．A 15．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与六岁儿子在院子里拔草时因方法不同而产生冲突，最终从孩子天真的话语中领悟到应尊重其成长节奏、不必追求“完美效率”的温情故事。 1．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那本该是一段放松的亲子时光。A. relaxing放松的；B. disturbing打扰的；C. urgent紧急的；D. tough艰难的。根据上文“just the two of us”可知，母亲期待与儿子独处，这是一段放松的时光。故选A项。 2．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但是很快，蚊群似乎能抵抗我们的灭蚊喷雾。A. sensitive敏感的；B. resistant抵抗的；C. harmful有害的；D. addicted上瘾的。根据下文“sweating, itchy”可知，作者被蚊子咬了，所以蚊子是对喷雾有抗药性的。故选B项。 3．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我告诉他“正确”的做法——抓住草根，把整株杂草连根去除。A. removing去除；B. packing打包；C. covering覆盖；D. preserving保留。根据上文“by the roots”可知，用“连根去除”最准确。故选A项。 4．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他只把杂草的顶端扯掉，一路快速前进，却把剩下的根留在土里。A. roots根；B. fibres纤维；C. tops顶端；D. points尖端。根据下文“left the remaining part”可知，孩子留下根部，只是把草的顶端给拔掉了。故选C项。 5．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不知为何，我觉得这种做法极其恼人。A. amazing惊人的；B. boring无聊的；C. annoying恼人的；D. confusing困惑的。根据下文“Why couldn't he do it in my way”可知，母亲感到烦躁，她感觉孩子做法让她上火，故选C项。 6．考查动词词义辨析。句意：为什么他不能按我的方法来，好让我省得返工他的部分？A. recycle回收；B. redo返工；C. identify辨认；D. ignore忽视。根据上文“save me the time”可知，母亲不得不重新帮孩子拔一遍，也就是返工一次，这个时间本来是可以省掉的。故选B项。 7．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“如果你照我说的做，我们就能早点完工，而且保证在下次我们回来除草之前有更长的一段时间，”我说，尽量让自己的语气轻松一些。A. clarified澄清；B. launched发动；C. repeated重复；D. promised保证。根据下文“a longer period”可知，用“保证（更长的间隔）”符合逻辑，其余选项不符合语境。故选D项。 8．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“如果你照我说的做，我们就能早点完工，而且保证在下次我们回来除草之前有更长的一段时间，”我说，尽量让自己的语气轻松一些。A. nervous紧张的；B. mysterious神秘的；C. light轻松的；D. loud大声的。根据上文“trying to keep”可知，母亲在试图控制情绪，想让语气显得轻松一些。故选C项。 9．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他继续干活，抖掉手里杂草上的泥土，把断茎扔进我们共用的篮子里。A. long长的；B. broken破裂的；C. strong结实的；D. useful有用的。根据上文“he left the remaining part still in the soil”可知，孩子只是把草的上端拔出来，说明茎已折断。故选B项。 10．考查副词词义辨析。句意：“人们做事方式不同，妈妈，”他天真地说。A. differently不同地；B. separately分别地；C. hurriedly匆忙地；D. honestly诚实地。根据上文“do things”可知，孩子表达人们做事“方式各异”，用“不同”最准确，其余选项不符合语境。故选A项。 11．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的火气很快消散，取而代之的是羞愧的领悟：我刚刚从本应被我教导的人那里得到了宝贵的一课。A. ambition雄心；B. symbol象征；C. breakthrough突破；D. realization领悟。根据下文“valuable lesson”可知，作者通过孩子收获了新的感悟。故选D项。 12．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的火气很快消散，取而代之的是羞愧的领悟：我刚刚从本应被我教导的人那里得到了宝贵的一课。A. behavior行为；B. warning警告；C. lesson课；D. review回顾。根据下文“that I was supposed to be teaching”可知，本来该母亲教孩子，结果孩子的话反成了“一课”，用“lesson”最贴切。故选C项。 13．考查动词词义辨析。句意：既要照顾襁褓中的小女儿，又要兼顾读幼儿园的儿子，还得忙活院子里的杂务，当时高效统筹各项事务简直成了我的救命稻草。A. raise抚养；B. land着陆；C. teach教授；D. balance平衡。根据下文“my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work”可知，这位母亲在家务和工作中需要取得平衡。故选D项。 14．考查名词词义辨析。句意：既要照顾襁褓中的小女儿，又要兼顾读幼儿园的儿子，还得忙活院子里的杂务，当时高效统筹各项事务简直成了我的救命稻草。A. efficiency效率；B. concentration专注；C. discipline纪律；D. quality质量。根据上文“my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work”可知，作者有很多事情要兼顾，所以她必须追求速度，也就是“效率”。故选A项。 15．考查动词短语辨析。句意：他的时间不该被设限。A. run out of用完；B. set limits to设限；C. make up for弥补；D. keep pace with跟上。根据下文“His job was to be a kid and take his time”可知，作者感悟到孩子就应该慢慢做事，所以他的时间不应该受到限制。故选B项。 Passage 10 Jacky Hunt-Broersma, a native of South Africa, set her goal in mid-January.

One summer, he was 1 in a bay in San Diego with his mother. Eager to integrate himself with the local boys, he attempted to join their 2 but failed to swim through the underwater rock tunnel. He was thus ignored and 3 by them, filled with loneliness. “If I can make it through the underwater rock tunnel, they’ll 4 not getting along with me,” Jerry said to his mom. He was determined to explore the 5 tunnel on his own. He asked his mother for a pair of swimming goggles (护目镜) and headed back to the bay at once. With the goggles, he finally 6 the entrance to the tunnel. To cross it, he took pains to train himself to hold his 7 , suffering repeatedly from a bleeding nose. Yet even his mother’s 8 failed to change his mind. Three days later, Jerry decided to 9 the challenge. He struggled his way through the narrow tunnel and 10 got to the other side of the bay. “The moment I reached, I felt freer than ever before, with nothing in mind but the 11 before me,” said Jerry. In the following days, Jerry 12 the bay with his mother, enjoying its beauty merrily. When he 13 the local boys again, he no longer desired their 14 .

Like millions, I fear flying. When my daughter moved to Beijing, I knew I had to 1 it. Flying terrifies me — heart racing and legs shaking. I’m not 2 . Research shows many share this fear. And for me, frequent short work flights only made it 3 , especially those lonely late-night ones. With a visit to China coming, I 4 for an airline-offered course called “Flying with Confidence”. At the airport, I was 5 by how many others had paid £399 to face the same fear. Among them was Mia, who stopped flying after a sudden panic attack. Now pregnant (怀孕), she wanted to 6 passing her fear down to her child. Pilots led the morning session. Learning 7 , like a plane gliding (滑行) 100 miles if engines stop, was comforting. They emphasized the 8 safety rules and over 100,000 safe flights daily. The afternoon focused on 9 . The doctor patiently explained that “fear of fear” is common. He taught “breathe and squeeze” — slow breaths to control stress chemicals, and muscle squeezes to focus the mind. We practiced and it 10 . Then came the 11 flight.

Every climb offered amazing views. 1 , we couldn’t stop to appreciate the passing beauty because we were 2 . The climb grew 3 with every step. Loose rocks slid underfoot, and the 4 wind hit our faces. Conversation decreased as we 5 on putting one foot in front of the other. Tiredness set in, and 6 came into my mind — why had I taken on this challenge? Would we even make it in time? But then, during a short 7 , I caught my breath and saw the landscape we had 8 . Valleys stretched far below and 9 snaked through fields shining in the sunlight. It was extremely 10 . At that moment, I 11 how far we had come — not just in distance but in 12 . Each of us, though weary, had pushed through tiredness and self-doubt to keep 13 . Step by step, we reached the top of the final peak at 14 . The rising sun colored the sky in gold and pink, a reward more beautiful than I could have imagined. The experience taught me that challenges are 15 about the finish line.

I listened with 2 , but soon it changed into unease. She still had time to become any of those things. Yet at my age, no one was asking me that question anymore. More importantly, I had 3 asking myself that question. That conversation stayed in my mind, and I woke up the next morning still feeling 4 . There are many reasons midlife often gets 5 as a period of “crisis,” sitting at the bottom of a U-shaped curve (曲线) of life happiness, but “as you begin to stop making decisions, it won’t be long before you have 6 actually making decisions,” one researcher said. I decided to 7 . A(n) 8 Google search of “What are the hardest things you can do” led me to obstacle course racing (OCR, 障碍赛). Growing up as a skinny kid, I had always wanted to be 9 . In reality, though, I was mostly picked last for teams and 10 the bench. OCR became my answer to the older man’s question. For the last six years, I’ve 11 almost every day to become something I always wanted to be as a little girl but never thought 12 . As a competitive athlete, I’ve raced more than 50 times and 13 often in my age group. Nothing in my younger years 14 I could develop such abilities. However, by drawing on the perspective (思维方式), experience and wisdom I now possess as an adult, I made it happen.

On that grey, misty day, her invitation was exactly the 1 I needed. I did want to run, and her company was the perfect motivation. We set off as soon as we both felt ready. We started slowly, stopping for restrooms whenever necessary, without any 2 or annoyance from either. Gradually, we 3 into a smooth rhythm and then picked up the pace on our way back. We were both happy to run 4 side by side, yet we also chatted 5 — sometimes about her time with friends, sometimes just minor daily chores, all simple but 6 . Actually, our 7 over running grew from our walking habit during the pandemic (流行病).Back then, we walked miles and miles almost every day, 8 the valleys, railway tracks and bridge underpasses together. What began as a way to get out of the house turned into a joyful 9 . Those shared experiences taught us how to support each other and face challenges together. However, I had never imagined these walks would evolve into 10 at any point. Now, after this recent run, I feel more than lucky to have a daughter who wants to 11 with me, loves doing the same things as me and whose 12 I truly enjoy. And I don’t 13 it to last forever. She will leave for university, and I won’t be able to 14 . But right now, running with my daughter makes me so happy on many levels. I know we will move past this sweet spot at some point, but I am so grateful to be in the 15 of it now. 1．A．belief B．value C．push D．choice 2．A．stress B．trouble C．effort D．question 3．A．turned B．laid C．crashed D．fell 4．A．in silence B．in secret C．in order D．in chaos 5．A．constantly B．casually C．fluently D．frequently 6．A．distinct B．insightful C．pleasant D．formal 7．A．advantage B．bond C．plan D．concern 8．A．exploring B．surveying C．discovering D．guarding 9．A．excuse B．service C．freedom D．routine 10．A．acts B．runs C．goals D．chats 11．A．check out B．hang out C．take out D．set out 12．A．guidance B．popularity C．company D．action 13．A．expect B．allow C．force D．advise 14．A．go away B．get through C．keep up D．hold back 15．A．case B．form C．center D．face Passage 8 Ethan Wargo, 9, sets up a “compliments stand (赞美小摊)” on his lawn to offer passersby praise. 1 by an “insult (侮辱) stand” from his favorite novel, rather than embracing negativity, he decided to do the 2 by giving out free compliments. Soon, neighbors noticed this special stand, and a steady 3 of visitors stopped by. “Once I got my first customer, I thought, ‘I should keep doing this,’” Ethan recalled and 4 added that seeing people smile was his favorite part. By employing the secret 5 — asking everyone about themselves, Ethan has given personalized compliments to many people over a month. One memorable 6 was with Rainbow Kaelin, who lives nearby. She spotted the stand and 7 when driving home. “I saw that it said ‘Free compliments,’ and I thought it was so sweet,” Kaelin said, her voice 8 with the memory. When she mentioned that she was 9 a new employee, Ethan’s response came without 10 : “I hope she learns a lot from you.” Kaelin thanked him and started to drive off, but Ethan — realizing his compliment wasn’t quite right — 11 up to her car. “Your name is so unique,” he added. “He genuinely wanted to make people’s 12 ,” Kaelin recalled. The story reached even more people after Ethan’s father Wargo shared a post online, which became an immediate 13 , drawing countless supportive comments. With the 14 messages poured in, Ethan saw the true impact of his stand, from which he learned that his compliments were not merely kind words, but seeds of confidence 15 in people’s hearts. 1．A．Touched B．Struck C．Inspired D．Attracted 2．A．duty B．alternative C．opposite D．job 3．A．set B．stream C．band D．way 4．A．modestly B．cheerfully C．briefly D．gently 5．A．approach B．principle C．theory D．concept 6．A．interview B．argument C．encounter D．competition 7．A．sped up B．pulled over C．turned around D．broke down 8．A．sharp B．deep C．loud D．warm 9．A．training B．assisting C．replacing D．hiring 10．A．hesitation B．effort C．exception D．doubt 11．A．wandered B．marched C．raced D．walked 12．A．name B．fortune C．day D．case 13．A．hit B．trend C．focus D．record 14．A．widespread B．immediate C．heartfelt D．countless 15．A．sown B．grown C．watered D．buried Passage 9 It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old son and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be 1 . But soon, the clouds of mosquitos seemed 2 to our bug spray (喷雾). I was sweating, itchy, and arguing with my son about how to pull weeds. I had told him the “right” way — getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, 3 them entirely. However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the 4 of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly 5 . Why couldn’t he do it in my way and save me the time of having to 6 his portion (部分)? Why did he do it at all if he wasn’t going to do it properly? “If you do as told, we’d be done earlier and 7 a longer period before we would have to return and pull weeds next time,” I said, trying to keep my tone 8 . He went back to his work, shaking dirt from his handful of growing things and throwing 9 stems into our shared basket. “People do things 10 , Mom,” he said innocently. My fire soon faded, replaced by the humbling 11 that I’d just received a valuable 12 from the person that I was supposed to be teaching. While trying to 13 my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, 14 was a lifeline for me. But my way was, perhaps, not the best way after all. His time shouldn’t be 15 .

And since then she has been running 26.2 miles every day, about the distance of a marathon. On Saturday, she completed her 104th marathon — an achievement she expects to be 1 by Guinness World Records. If so, she would then 2 a world record for 104 back-to-back (持续的) marathon runs, two more than her 3 goal. The current world record of 101 marathons was set on April 10 by British runner Kate Jayden, who does not have a(n) 4 . Hunt-Broersma lost the bottom half of her left leg 5 a rare form of cancer in 2001. “The biggest 6   was accepting that part of my body was gone,” she said. “Until five years ago, I was not very 7 . But after 8 running, I decided to give it a try.” However, the sport ended up being quite 9 . Currently, she keeps running on a false leg made out of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber blade (刀锋) she uses, specifically designed for 10 , costs about $10,000. But Hunt-Broersma says her 11 has been well worthwhile. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself again and gave me a sense of 12 . I fell in love with the 13 of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.” But she still faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking 14 and she even felt near despair at 24 kilometers.

When she grabbed cups of water to get refreshed, she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the 1 : 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations, and around 150,000 cups were used once and 2 . “I was just shocked that, even in environmentally aware California, the event is not 3 ,” Smithe said. After some more research, she realized that billions of such single-use plastic cups are abandoned globally each year, a practice that adds significant 4 pressure. That 5 her idea for something more durable (耐用的) — a lightweight silicone cup that could be used 6 . After working out a design, Smithe 7 her first shipment of such cups and then 8 them at a race. As she was getting her business 9 , Smithe emailed more race directors to persuade them to use silicone cups. So far Smithe has taken her cups to 137 races and 10 902,000 single-use ones from the landfill (垃圾填埋场). “It’s just a solution to a problem that has been 11 for a long time,” Smithe said. Yet the 12 is that the cup rentals cost race directors a few more cents than other options. “While the solution can not fully 13 the issue, the practicability is there,” Smithe said. “I think in general, high 14 of such a solution is what helps bring costs down and really maximize environmental 15 that we could get.” 1．A．investigation B．interaction C．calculation D．reservation 2．A．made out B．thrown away C．handed out D．put away 3．A．acceptable B．predictable C．affordable D．sustainable 4．A．cultural B．academic C．environmental D．psychological 5．A．stimulated B．contradicted C．delayed D．borrowed 6．A．immediately B．repeatedly C．automatically D．normally 7．A．ordered B．replaced C．counted D．weighed 8．A．labeled B．sorted C．tested D．washed 9．A．off the ground B．on the shelf C．between the lines D．behind the scenes 10．A．charted B．spared C．collected D．distributed 11．A．explained B．expected C．handled D．ignored 12．A．difference B．disadvantage C．condition D．suggestion 13．A．avoid B．describe C．tackle D．demonstrate 14．A．adoption B．demand C．volume D．quality 15．A．concerns B．concepts C．policies D．benefits Passage 12 Honesty at Work Being honest at work can be incredibly beneficial and allows one to live life with a clear conscience (良心).

The store has put up a Facebook post where they 3 the employee for what he did after he found the bag.

The post read, “After the bag was 5 to the customer service counter, it was safely returned to its owner when a woman came to 6 it, saying her bag was left in the trolley.” The woman added that all the money in the bag was mostly untouched and she was 7 with Mandal’s honest attitude.

It began when my car 1 nearby on a rainy Monday morning. While waiting for repairs, I took shelter there, ordering a black coffee just to 2 my presence. The next day, I dropped by again. The barista (咖啡师) remembered my 3 : “Large black, no sugar?” I nodded, surprised. That small recognition made me feel   4 in a city where I’d lived without being known for years. Soon, visiting the coffee shop became a 5 . Not for the coffee, but for the 6 : the professor grading papers, the young mother with her baby... We were all background characters in each other’s lives, yet our 7 visits formed an unspoken bond. Modern life has taught us to value 8 over community. We order deliveries to 9 traffic, stream movies to skip theaters, and work 10 to save commute (通勤) time. But in this ordinary coffee shop, I’d found what my smartphone could never provide — the comfort of 11 . Now I go there not when my car breaks down, but when my 12 does. The professor shares crossword clues; we celebrate the first steps of the young mother’s baby. Though we 13 briefly, the communication has become my steadfast anchor (精神支柱). Perhaps we all need a “third place” — not home, not work, but somewhere in between. A place where a simple “Your usual?” means “You 14 .” A place where community isn’t 15 , but just reflected in the steam of a coffee cup. 1．A．pulled over B．broke down C．turned back D．moved off 2．A．justify B．announce C．hide D．remove 3．A．idea B．order C．plate number D．first name 4．A．awkward B．terrible C．humble D．warm 5．A．routine B．challenge C．burden D．promise 6．A．response B．appreciation C．connection D．guidance 7．A．rare B．unexpected C．regular D．planned 8．A．privacy B．convention C．experience D．convenience 9．A．block B．avoid C．generate D．monitor 10．A．remotely B．creatively C．desperately D．endlessly 11．A．chatting B．belonging C．silence D．aloneness 12．A．family B．company C．soul D．health 13．A．joke B．comment C．argue D．interact 14．A．agree B．hesitate C．matter D．quit 15．A．lost B．acceptable C．necessary D．costly Passage 14 I was 18 years old, fit, strong and ambitious. One day, I fell down for no 1 reason. I saw many different specialists and was finally diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy (MD). It was a very difficult time. I had no idea what life was going to 2 at me and I was scared. By my late 30s it was 3 and I had transitioned from a walking stick to a wheelchair. I wanted to be master of my own 4 , so I had to recognize my strengths and play to my weaknesses. What I wanted to make 5 was a trip to the north pole. People with MD feel the cold. So why did I want to go to one of the most extreme, cold and 6 places on Earth? I’d read about Chris Cope, who wanted to go to the north pole to raise money for MD, and it had 7 my adventurous spirit: I wanted to raise awareness about the 8 , but I also wanted to find out what I was capable of. I firmly believe I’m very 9 . In the two years it had taken to organize the expedition, my muscles had worsened but we 10 regardless. The unpleasant life coaching and cold training helped me to assess how my body would behave in extreme cold, which made me aware of what to 11 .

While we were on the ice, the runway 13 and we had to wait for it to refreeze. Once we reached the north pole, I was bitterly exhausted and a complete mess. I was on the ice for the best part of three long days, and then 14 the final 350m. the expedition raised £50,000 for charity.

Clara, who preferred modern gadgets, initially found the gift 1 . But when she 2 the dust-covered keys one rainy afternoon, something magical happened. As her fingers touched the keys, a 3 memory surfaced–her grandmother singing “Moon River” while little Clara sat on her lap.
