What’s the reason for the problem?
Teenagers look themselves as adults. In their 2 , they can solve the problem in life, and they don’t need help. It is not the fact. They often can’t solve the problem by themselves. Afterwards they go to find a place to solve the problem. The Internet provides the place for them.
Family relationship is another reason. Many teenagers can’t get along well with parents. They don’t want to talk to their parents. In fact, they need parents’ help and support.

Studies have found that teenagers who eat breakfast perform 2 in school. They have better concentration and memory. One reason is that breakfast provides the energy the brain needs to function properly. Without it, students may feel tired and find it hard to 3 on their lessons.
A healthy breakfast should include protein, whole grains, and fruit.

Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest land. Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers help to stop this.
Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that are 1 to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide 2 to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading or to slow its progress 3 ground-based firefighters arrive. Using basic equipment such as shovels (铲子) and axes (斧头), smokejumpers clear land of burnable material, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount.

Teranga is the Senegalese way of life. It means being 1 to everyone—family, friends and even strangers. The writer first learned about it at an airport, when a traveller presented her phone to a woman 2 a second thought.

Passage 2
In the age of social media, many people like to take photos at scenic spots and share them online. However, wanting “the perfect picture” can lead to overcrowding, 1 people often stay in one place for too long. To solve this, Huangling scenic spot in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, introduced a new rule: timed photo-taking. If tourists are waiting in line, staff members will give each person about one minute to take their photo.
2 rules have been introduced in other tourist spots in China. Limiting photo time means less overcrowding and a better travel experience for visitors. We all agree that tourist attractions should be enjoyed by everyone. If some people stay in the best photo spot for too long, it is 3 to others. One minute may be short, but it is enough to take a good picture and helps cut long lines.
Some tourists feel that what should be a relaxing activity now becomes more stressful. For children and older people, who might need extra time to take photos, the rule can even be difficult to obey. These 4 show the need for flexibility. Rather than having just one photo spot, tourist attractions could prepare several areas for photo-taking. They could also offer a photo guide to help visitors find good camera angles. Children, older people or people with disabilities should have more time to take their pictures. The goal is clear: to 5 service and give visitors a better travel experience.
This rule is an important step toward better management and a healthier travel culture. Only with fairness and order can people 6 enjoy the beauty of travel.

Studies have found that teenagers who eat breakfast perform 2 in school. They have better concentration and memory. One reason is that breakfast provides the energy the brain needs to function properly. Without it, students may feel tired and find it hard to 3 on their lessons.
A healthy breakfast should include protein, whole grains, and fruit. For example, an egg with whole-wheat toast and a banana is a great choice. 4 , many teenagers choose sugary cereals or skip breakfast entirely. This leads to a drop in blood sugar levels, which can make them feel hungry and irritable (烦躁的) before lunchtime.
The good news is that changing this habit is not 5 . You can start by preparing your breakfast the night before. A bowl of oatmeal with some nuts and dried fruit takes only a few minutes to prepare. As you get used to eating breakfast every day, you will notice the 6 in your energy levels and mood. Remember, a healthy breakfast is the first step towards a healthy day!

【导语】本文介绍早餐是一天中最重要的一餐,阐述吃早餐对青少年在校学习表现的积极作用,指出健康早餐的搭配方式,并给出养成吃早餐习惯的可行办法。
1.句意:有些人说没时间吃,另一些人认为不吃早餐可以帮助他们减肥。
固定搭配lose weight意为“减肥”,符合不吃早餐的另一个原因是帮助他们“减肥”的语境。money“金钱”;time“时间”;face“脸”,均不构成合适搭配。
2.句意:研究发现,吃早餐的青少年在学校表现更好。
根据后文“They have better concentration and memory.”可知吃早餐带来更好的在校表现,better意为“更好地”。worse“更差”;less“更少”;slower“更慢”,均不符文意。
3.句意:不吃早餐,学生可能感到疲惫,难以把注意力集中在课堂上。
固定搭配focus on意为“集中注意力于……”,符合不吃早餐难以集中注意力的语境。give“给予”;depend“依靠”;pass“通过”,均无法和on搭配表达该含义。
4.句意:然而,很多青少年选择含糖麦片或者干脆不吃早餐。
前后句子形成转折关系,However意为“然而”。Therefore“因此”;Moreover“此外”;Instead“相反”,逻辑不符合。
5.句意:好消息是,改变这个习惯并不困难。
根据后文“You can start by preparing your breakfast the night before.”说明改变不吃早餐的习惯不难。difficult意为“困难的”。easy“容易的”;interesting“有趣的”;boring“无聊的”,与原文语义冲突。
6.句意:当你习惯每天吃早餐时,你将会察觉到自己精力水平和情绪上的变化。
根据前文讲述坚持吃早餐是健康习惯,会带来积极的身体状态改变,differences意为“变化、差异”,表示能感受到前后状态的不同。problems“问题”;decisions“决定”;mistakes“错误”,均不符合文章积极的语境。

2.句意:作者第一次了解到它是在机场,当时一位旅行者毫不犹豫地把她的手机递给了一位女士。
根据“without a second thought”为固定搭配,意为“毫不犹豫地”,without符合题意。with“有”(与语境相反)、after“在……之后”、by“通过”,均不符合。
3.句意:不认识她的孩子会跳进她的怀里,以躲避涌来的海浪。
根据“waves”,孩子们要躲避的是“涌来的海浪”,coming“即将来临的/涌来的”符合题意。leaving“离开的”、flying“飞行的”、falling“落下的”,均不符合题意。

Passage 2
In the age of social media, many people like to take photos at scenic spots and share them online. However, wanting “the perfect picture” can lead to overcrowding, 1 people often stay in one place for too long. To solve this, Huangling scenic spot in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, introduced a new rule: timed photo-taking. If tourists are waiting in line, staff members will give each person about one minute to take their photo.
2 rules have been introduced in other tourist spots in China. Limiting photo time means less overcrowding and a better travel experience for visitors. We all agree that tourist attractions should be enjoyed by everyone. If some people stay in the best photo spot for too long, it is 3 to others. One minute may be short, but it is enough to take a good picture and helps cut long lines.
Some tourists feel that what should be a relaxing activity now becomes more stressful. For children and older people, who might need extra time to take photos, the rule can even be difficult to obey. These 4 show the need for flexibility. Rather than having just one photo spot, tourist attractions could prepare several areas for photo-taking. They could also offer a photo guide to help visitors find good camera angles. Children, older people or people with disabilities should have more time to take their pictures. The goal is clear: to 5 service and give visitors a better travel experience.
This rule is an important step toward better management and a healthier travel culture. Only with fairness and order can people 6 enjoy the beauty of travel.

【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.C
【导语】本文主要针对江西婺源篁岭等景区推出的“限时拍照”新规展开讨论,分析了该规则在缓解拥堵、维护秩序方面的积极意义,指出了对老人和儿童需保持灵活性的担忧,并提出了提升旅游服务质量的具体建议。
1.句意:然而,想要拍出“完美的照片”可能会导致拥挤,因为人们经常在一个地方停留太久。
根据前文“lead to overcrowding”以及空后的“people often stay in one place for too long”可知,前后句存在因果关系,“停留太久”是导致“过度拥挤”的原因,应选用as表示“因为/由于”。though“尽管”,before“在……之前”,while“然而/当……时”,均无法引导表达直接原因的从句。
2.句意:中国其他旅游景点也引入了类似的规则。
根据前文介绍江西婺源篁岭景区推出的限时拍照新规“introduced a new rule: timed photo-taking”可知,此处指国内其他旅游景点也推出了“相似的”管理规定,应选用Similar表示“相似的/类似的”。Strict“严格的”,Basic“基础的”,Simple“简单的”,均不能体现与其他景区的政策类比关系。
3.句意:如果一些人在最佳拍照点停留时间过长,这对其他人来说是不公平的。
根据前文“tourist attractions should be enjoyed by everyone”以及后文“Only with fairness and order…”可知,旅游景点应由大家共享,长时间占用最佳机位对其他排队的游客而言显然是“不公平的”,应选用unfair表示“不公平的”。respectful“恭敬的”,helpless“无助的”,dishonest“不诚实的”,均脱离了公共资源共享与公平秩序的语境。
4.句意:这些担忧表明了对灵活性的需要。
根据前文“Some tourists feel that…becomes more stressful.”以及“the rule can even be difficult to obey”可知,游客感到压力增加以及老人儿童难以遵守规则,都属于推行新规过程中人们产生的“顾虑/担忧”,应选用worries表示“担忧/顾虑”。conclusions“结论”,excuses“借口”,references“参考”,均无法概括上文提出的现实困扰与担忧。
5.句意:目标很明确:改善服务并给游客提供更好的旅游体验。
根据空前建议景区增设拍照点、提供摄影指导等具体措施,以及空后的“give visitors a better travel experience”可知,采取人性化举措是为了“提升/改善”景区服务质量,应选用improve表示“改善/提高”。examine“检查”,operate“操作/经营”,manage“管理”,均不如improve契合提升服务质量的语境。
6.句意:只有在公平和秩序下,人们才能真正享受旅行的美好。
根据前文“Only with fairness and order”可知,在具备了公平和秩序的保障前提下,人们才能“真正地”体会并领略旅行的魅力,应选用truly表示“真正地”。quickly“快速地”,heavily“沉重地/大量地”,nearly“几乎”,均不能准确表达在良好秩序下对旅行之美的深度享受。

2.句意:你是说他在捉弄你?
joke笑话;talent天赋;trouble麻烦;trick诡计,花招。根据“But as I put the sweet into my mouth, it was so bitter!”可知,Jerry给的糖果实际上是苦的,由此推测Jerry可能在捉弄Gary,结合“How mean!”可知,Ted认为Jerry很卑鄙,所以此处应是带欺负意味的捉弄,应用短语play a trick on sb.“捉弄某人”。故选D。
3.句意:前几天,我的一些同学嘲笑我,用脏话对我大喊大叫,只是因为我不小心绊倒了。
looked看;threw扔;laughed笑;aimed瞄准。根据“I accidentally tripped over”可知,Gary不小心绊倒了,同学们都笑他。故选C。
4.句意:我很生气,但我不敢做任何事情。
want想要;dare敢;need需要;ask问。根据下文“You should tell Mr Lin, or ask your parents for help.”和“Forget it.”可知,Ted让Gary向长辈求助,但Gary只觉得算了,由此推测他不敢做任何事情。故选B。
5.句意:事实上,我已经习惯了。
used to和be动词构成短语be used to“习惯于”;ready for预备好;satisfied with对……感到满意;careful with小心。根据下文“They always take me for a fool.”可知,他们总是欺负Gary,Gary觉得自己已经习惯了。故选A。
6.句意:勇敢点,相信我!
nervous紧张的;natural自然的;brave勇敢的;helpful有帮助的。根据上文“But I am not sure whether it’s a good idea…”可知,Gary仍不确定是否要向老师求助,Ted让他勇敢起来才能解决问题。故选C。

1.句意:如果你有不止一份工作,那就意味着你拥有斜杠职业。
根据上文列举了各种职业(teacher, businessman, lawyer等)可知,此处指多份“工作”。purpose“目的”,dream“梦想”,story“故事”,均不符合。
2.句意:“斜杠职业”这个术语来源于标点符号“/”。

8.句意:有了斜杠职业,失去主要工作并不意味着失去全部收入。
With表示伴随状态,意为“拥有,具有”,此处表示“在拥有斜杠职业的情况下”。For“为了”,As“作为”,In“在……里”,均不符合。
9.句意:做多份工作会占用你大部分时间。
take up意为“占据(时间/空间)”,符合语境。get into“进入”,take off“起飞/脱下”,reach for“伸手去够”,均不符合。
10.句意:他们认为这表明这个人有创造力并且愿意努力工作。

Last year, we went on a trip to Hangzhou. When we got to our 1 , it was nearly 9:30 pm. My daughter, Lily, looked out at the bright 2 of the West Lake and said she wanted to go out. I told her it was too 3 , but she kept staring out of the window and begged, “Just for five minutes.”
My husband and I 4 each other, smiled and answered, “All right. Five minutes.” We put on our coats and walked to the West Lake. The lights by the lake were shining softly, and some boats with lights sailed 5 on the water. Lily pointed at the boats and laughed happily. My husband and I also felt very warm. Soon Lily started to rub (揉搓) her eyes—she was 6 . So we had to head back to the hotel.
It 7 us over 40 minutes to enjoy that "five-minute" moment, but it made Lily so 8 . That meant everything to us. That night, I learned 9 about happiness. Sometimes we have chances to create happy moments in life, 10 we often find excuses to skip them. Thanks to Lily, I know happiness is a door that never closes. We just need to choose to walk through it.

【导语】本文讲述作者一家杭州旅行,深夜满足女儿看西湖愿望,感悟到不要找借口错过幸福时刻,幸福之门常开的故事。
1.句意:当我们抵达入住的宾馆时,时间已经快要晚上9点30分了。
根据后文“So we had to head back to the hotel.”可以得知他们抵达的是宾馆,对应hotel。market“市场”、home“家”、restaurant“餐馆”不符合一家人在杭州旅行留宿的语境。
2.句意:我的女儿莉莉望着西湖岸边明亮的灯火,说她想要出去看一看。
根据下文“The lights by the lake were shining softly”,湖边灯光明亮,对应lights。ends“尽头”、circles“圆圈”、centres“中心”无法用来描绘西湖夜晚湖面的景色。
3.句意:我告诉她时间已经太晚了,可她仍旧一直盯着窗外,不停恳求我们带她出去。
前文时间是“nearly 9:30 pm”,夜晚时间很晚,对应late。hot“炎热的”、quiet“安静的”、cold“寒冷的”和本句时间语境不匹配。
4.句意:我的丈夫和我互相看了一眼,笑着回答道:“好吧,就五分钟。”
根据“each other”及交流语境可知,是互相看着,对应looked at。looked after“照顾”、looked for“寻找”、looked up“查阅”不符合二人当下互动情景。
5.句意:一些带灯的船在水面上慢慢行驶。
根据“shining softly”及夜晚湖景意境可知,船行缓慢,对应slowly。quickly“快速地”、excitedly“兴奋地”、loudly“大声地”,不符合意境。
6.句意:很快莉莉开始揉眼睛——她累了。
根据“rub her eyes”及时间晚可知,她困了累了,对应tired。angry“生气的”、kind“友善的”、doubtful“怀疑的”,无法和揉眼睛这个动作形成合理逻辑。
7.句意:享受这一段计划只有“五分钟”的美好时光,花费了我们四十多分钟。
固定句型It takes sb.+时间 to do sth.,文章整体为过去时态,因此对应took。made“制作”、spent(主语必须是人)、paid“支付”均不符合该固定句型使用规则。
8.句意:但这让莉莉如此开心。
根据“laughed happily”可知,她很开心,对应happy。sad“难过的”、lucky“幸运的”、bored“无聊的”,与情感色彩相反。
9.句意:那晚,我学到了一些关于幸福的事。
肯定句中表示学到了一些道理,用something。其他选项语意不通。
10.句意:生活中我们时常拥有机会去创造快乐的瞬间,但是我们总是找各种借口,错过这些美好时刻。
前后两句存在明显转折关系:机会就在身边,可是人们常常选择错过,对应but。until“直到”、because“因为”、when“当……时候”无法匹配此处转折逻辑。
Passage 2

The Great Wall of China is a wonder that goes across the land. Last summer, my parents took me to visit the Mutianyu section. As I stood on the 1 , feeling the ancient stones under my feet, I was deeply shocked by its greatness.
Our tour guide, Mr. Zhang, told us that the wall 2 its present form mainly during the Ming Dynasty to protect the country. “It’s not just one wall,” he explained, “but a huge 3 of walls and fortifications (防御工事).” I couldn’t believe that the total 4 is over 21,000 kilometres!
Looking at the tall walls and steep steps, I 5 how difficult it must have been to build it. Mr. Zhang said it was built completely by hand, with workers using only 6 tools. They carried heavy materials on their backs. It is said that millions of workers 7 their lives during the long construction (建造).
Hearing this, I felt a mix of sadness and 8 . I was sad for the workers, but I also felt proud of their amazing work. Today, the Great Wall has become a strong 9 of China, attracting millions of visitors every year.

【导语】本文讲述作者去年夏天游览慕田峪长城,在导游的介绍下了解了长城的成型历史与建造的艰辛,内心百感交集,收获了一段难忘的旅途经历。
1.句意:当我站在城墙上,感受脚下古老的砖石,我深深被它的宏伟震撼。
前文点明作者游览慕田峪长城,wall“城墙”,符合游览场景。ground“地面”,hill“小山”,street“街道”,均不符合站在长城上的语境。
2.句意:导游张先生告诉我们,长城主要在明朝发展成如今的样貌,用来保卫国家。
developed“发展、逐步成型”,可用来表示长城在明朝演变成现存形态。start“开始”,appear“出现”,rise“上升”,都无法表达长城慢慢定型的含义。
3.句意:它不只是一堵墙,而是一套庞大的城墙与防御工事体系。
system“体系”,a system of walls and fortifications表示“城墙工事体系”。picture“图画”,artwork“艺术品”,collection“收藏品”,均无法形容连片的城墙防御工事。
4.句意:我难以相信长城的总长度超过21000公里。
后文21,000 kilometres是长度单位,length“长度” 与之对应。height“高度”,weight“重量”,size“尺寸”,均和公里长度数值不匹配。
5.句意:望着高高的城墙与陡峭台阶,我想象修建长城该有多么艰难。
imagined“想象”,贴合看着长城脑补建造艰辛的语境。forget“忘记”,hope“希望”,remember“记得”,代入句子语义不通顺。
6.句意:长城完全依靠人力建成,工匠们只使用简陋的工具劳作。
古代没有先进设备,simple“简陋的”符合古时工具的特点。modern“现代的”,special“特殊的”,heavy“沉重的”,不符合历史常识。
7.句意:据说数百万劳工在漫长的建造过程中失去了生命。
lose one’s lives为固定搭配,意为“丧生”,lost符合语境。save“拯救”,change“改变”,spend“花费”,均不能搭配生命表达牺牲的意思。
8.句意:听闻这些,我心中交织着难过与自豪。
后文“I also felt proud”对应pride“自豪”。fear“恐惧”,anger“愤怒”,loneliness“孤独”,无法和后文的自豪感对应。
9.句意:如今长城成为中国鲜明的象征,每年吸引数百万游客。
symbol“象征”,the symbol of China是常用搭配,代表“国家象征”。shape“外形”,story“故事”,map“地图”,不符合长城的文化定位。
10.句意:这是一段难忘的经历。
作者欣赏美景、读懂长城精神,unforgettable“难忘的”契合心境。terrible“糟糕的”,uncomfortable“不舒服的”,expensive“昂贵的”,和全文积极的感悟相悖。

Hello, everyone. It’s so nice to see you on my last day at work. The past 30 years witnessed (见证) both challenges and joys. I have 1 all my wonderful working days in my memory.
I still remember my first summer as a “spiderman”. It was a day much 2 than today! I was wet all over and my eyes were filled with sweat. When I opened 3 , I saw a kind woman smiling brightly at me. She opened the window and handed me a piece of juicy watermelon. I had never tasted such sweet fruit before. I 4 her quietly and valued this sweet moment.
Many moments have reminded me of that sweet baby who I saw through the glass. She always looked at me 5 as I appeared outside her window. She laughed 6 her cat tried to “catch” my brush. Her family were so thankful for the joy I brought. One day, her mother held up a note for me—the family was moving. She gave me a lovely painting 7 before moving away. I felt sad, but also happy for the sweet memories between us.
Window cleaning is not always considered a good job. 8 , in my opinion, it is such a meaningful job. During these years, I’ve 9 all kinds of difficulties thanks to those kind-hearted strangers. Also, I have met a lot of kind people and collected many wonderful stories. I found a sense of 10 in my job.
Today I am saying goodbye to my job as a “spiderman”. And you will keep working high above the ground. Best wishes to you all!

【答案】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名高空玻璃清洁工,在工作的最后一天,他回忆了过去30年工作中的挑战与欢乐,以及这份工作带给他的意义和成就感。
1.句意:我把所有美好的工作日子都保存在记忆中。
根据“all my wonderful working days in my memory”可知,作者将美好的工作记忆保存了下来。forgotten“忘记”、lost“丢失”、doubted“怀疑”,均不符合“留存美好回忆”语境。
2.句意:那一天比今天热得多!
根据“my first summer”以及“I was wet all over and my eyes were filled with sweat.”可知,作者浑身湿透,眼里满是汗水,说明那天天气非常热。wetter“更湿”、drier“更干”、colder“更冷”逻辑不符。
3.句意:当我睁开它们(眼睛)时,我看到一位善良的女士正对我灿烂地微笑。
根据前文“my eyes were filled with sweat”可知,此处指代复数名词eyes,且作动词opened的宾语,应用them。it指代单数物品、themselves、itself均不匹配。
4.句意:我静静地感谢她,并珍视这个甜蜜的时刻。
根据前文“She opened the window and handed me a piece of juicy watermelon.”可知,女士给了作者西瓜,所以作者内心充满感激。controlled“控制”、warned“警告”、protected“保护”,语义不通。
5.句意:当我出现在她窗外时,她总是兴奋地看着我。
根据后文“She laughed”可知,小女孩看到作者时感到非常高兴和兴奋。 worriedly“担忧地”、 surprisingly“惊讶地”、nervously“紧张地”,不符合欢快氛围。
6.句意:当她的猫试图“抓住”我的刷子时,她笑了。
根据前后文逻辑,此处引导时间状语从句,表示在猫抓刷子的时候她笑了。when表示“当……的时候”。where“哪里”、if“如果”、 although“尽管”,逻辑不匹配。
7.句意:在搬走之前,她给了我一幅可爱的画作为回报。
根据前文“Her family were so thankful for the joy I brought.”可知,女孩一家感谢作者带来的欢乐,因此送画作为回报,in return意为“作为回报”。on purpose“故意”、 in need“在危难中”、out of breath“上气不接下气”,语义不符。
8.句意:然而,在我看来,这是一份如此有意义的工作。
前文“Window cleaning is not always considered a good job.”与后文“in my opinion, it is such a meaningful job.”在语意上构成转折关系,应用However。Therefore“因此”、Besides“此外”、Then “然后”不符合语境。
9.句意:在这些年里,多亏了那些好心的陌生人,我克服了各种困难。
根据宾语“all kinds of difficulties”可知,此处表示克服困难,get over符合语境。got into“陷入”、learned from“从……学习”、helped out“帮忙脱困”均不搭配。
10.句意:我在我的工作中找到了一种成就感。
根据前文作者认为工作有意义,克服了困难并收获了美好故事,可知他从中获得了成就感,a sense of achievement为固定搭配。humour“幽默”、safety“安全”、duty“责任”不符合文章核心。
