【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Molly在英语老师的帮助下,通过正确的方法和坚持练习,克服英语学习困难并取得成功的故事。
【1题详解】
句意:她在课上说话时经常感到紧张,并且无法理解长篇文章。
根据“Molly used to struggle with English”和“failed to understand long passages”,并结合备选项可知in class“在课堂上”,符合语境。on“在……上”,at“在”,搭配不当。
【2题详解】
句意:李老师坐到Molly身边告诉她:“成为一名优秀的学习者需要时间。你只需要正确的方法。”
根据动词“told”可知此处应接宾格作宾语,her“她”,是宾格;she“她”,是主格;hers“她的”,是名词性物主代词,不符合语法。
【3题详解】
句意:她建议Molly写英语日记来练习写作,并且听英文歌提高听力技能。
根据“keep an English diary”和“practice writing”可知,后者是前者的目的,所以此处应用其不定式形式to practice表目的;so“所以”;but“但是”,不符合语境。
【4题详解】
句意:当她遇到生词时,就在词典里查阅它们,并制作单词卡片来记忆。
此处指代前面提到的复数名词new words,应用them“它们”;it“它”;that“那个”,不符合语法要求。
【5题详解】
句意:她也反复听自己最喜欢的英文歌,并努力跟着一起唱。
根据固定搭配try to do sth.“尽力做某事”可知,此处应填动词不定式符号to;排除其他选项。
【6题详解】
句意:但是她没有停下。
根据其前后句表示转折关系可知,But“但是”符合语境;And“并且”;Or“或者”,逻辑不符。
【7题详解】
句意:Molly可以自信地在课堂上回答问题,她的考试成绩也提高了很多。
此处应填副词修饰动词“answer”。confidently“自信地”符合语境;confident“自信的”,是形容词;confidence“信心”,是名词,不符合语法。
【8题详解】
句意:她甚至在校英语演讲比赛中赢得了一个奖项。
“prize”是可数名词单数,且以辅音音素开头,所以此处应填不定冠词a“一个”;an“一个”用于元音音素开头的单词前;the“这个”表特指,均不符合用法。
【9题详解】
句意:Molly意识到只要坚持练习、使用恰当的方法,她就可以克服英语学习中的任何困难。
根据动词“realized”可知,此处引导宾语从句,而宾语从句语义完整,所以应用that引导。what“什么”;if“如果”,不符合从句规则。
【10题详解】
句意:她明白坚持用好的学习方法是多么重要。
由动词“knew”可知,此处引导宾语从句,由空后的形容词“important”和语义可知,宾语从句为感叹句,且符合“how+形容词+主谓”的结构;what引导的感叹句结构为“What+a/an+adj.+n+主谓”,不符合本题结构;why“为什么”,不引导感叹句。

【11题详解】
句意:她的中国朋友Mei邀请她和Mei的家人一起度过这一天,Laura很兴奋,但也有点紧张——她以前从未体验过这个传统节日。

【12题详解】
句意:她的中国朋友Mei邀请她和Mei的家人一起度过这一天,Laura很兴奋,但也有点紧张——她以前从未体验过这个传统节日。
根据“a little nervous”和“never”可知,此处指她从未体验过中秋节,用experienced。celebrated“庆祝”,需主动策划,prepared“准备”、missed“错过”不符合“首次参与”的语境。
【13题详解】
句意:柔软的面团在劳拉手中摸起来暖暖的,她试着把它捏成一个圆球。

【15题详解】
句意:“我觉得做月饼比看起来要难!”Laura笑容满面地说。
根据“Mei laughed”及氛围轻松愉快,可知Laura也是开心的。其他选项情绪消极或不符。
【16题详解】
句意:一轮明亮、圆圆的月亮高挂在天空,桌子上摆满了不同种类的月饼——红豆、莲蓉,甚至还有劳拉最喜欢的巧克力味。

【17题详解】
句意:Mei的奶奶讲了关于月亮的故事,Laura认真地听,感到深深的幸福。
根据“listened... ”及“feeling deeply happy”,听故事应是认真投入,用carefully。carelessly“粗心地”、loudly“大声地”、quickly“快地”不符合听故事的场景。
【18题详解】
句意:我不仅品尝了美味的月饼,还感受到了家庭的温暖。
根据“delicious mooncakes”可知,美味对应品尝,用tasted。虽前文有made“制作”,但此处强调享受味道。其他选项不符。
【19题详解】
句意:我不仅品尝了美味的月饼,还感受到了家庭的温暖。
根据“the warmth”可知,温暖是抽象感觉,用felt。touched“触摸”、heard“听见”、saw“看见”搭配不当。
【20题详解】
句意:她决定第二天把所有这些美妙的经历分享给同学。
根据“her classmates”和“this wonderful experience”可知,Laura想和同学分享经历,share sth with sb符合语境。C项tell后不加 to。ask for“请求”、talk about“谈论”语义不符。

Imagine standing in a busy street in a new town, phone dead, and no idea where to find a café. We’ve all been there—stuck needing help, but not sure how to ask without feeling awkward. The good news? Asking for information politely isn’t hard, and it can turn a stressful moment into a smooth one.
The first step is picking the right person to talk to. You don’t have to guess—look for people who seem approachable: a shopkeeper arranging goods behind a counter, a police officer walking a beat, or even a local sitting on a bench. These people usually know the area well and are happy to lend a hand.
When you walk up to them, forget rushing into your question. Start with a warm “Excuse me” to get their attention—that shows you respect their time. Then, use soft words like “could” or “please” to make your request feel friendly, not demanding. Instead of saying “Where’s the bus stop?”, try “Excuse me, could you please tell me where the nearest bus stop is?” It sounds small, but it makes a big difference in how people respond.
Once they answer, don’t just nod and walk away—make sure you understand. Listen closely, and if something confuses you, say “Sorry, could you repeat that part about turning left?” It’s better to ask again politely than to get lost later. You can even say, “So I need to go straight then turn right at the park—did I get that right?” to double-check.
Asking for help nicely isn’t just about getting directions. It’s about making connections, even quick ones. With these small steps, you’ll never feel stuck again—whether you’re in a new place or just need to know where to buy a pen.
26. Which of the following people is NOT a good choice to ask for information according to the passage?
A. A shopkeeper arranging goods.
B. A police officer walking on the street.
C. A tourist visiting the town for the first time.
D. A local person sitting on a bench.
27. What should you say first when asking someone for information?
A. “Where is the nearest bank?”
B. “Excuse me.”
C. “Could you help me?”
D. “Thank you for your help.”
28. What does the underlined word “approachable” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. difficult to talk to
B. easy to get along with
C. busy with their own things
D. unwilling to help others
29. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. asking for information directly will always make people angry
B. it’s unnecessary to check directions again if you nod at the answer
C. polite communication helps not only get help but also build short connections
D. people in new places always feel stressed and can’t ask for help
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to use a phone to find directions in a new town.
B. Why people feel awkward when asking for information.
C. Tips on asking for information politely and following directions.
D. Different people you can meet in a new place.
【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. C 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍礼貌问路、求助的方法与技巧,告诉读者礼貌求助不仅可以获取信息,还能建立短暂人际联系。
【26题详解】
根据文章第二段“look for people who seem approachable: a shopkeeper arranging goods...a police officer walking a beat... a local sitting on a bench”可知,店主、巡逻的警察和坐在长椅上的当地人都是合适的求助对象,而第一次来小镇的游客不熟悉本地情况,不是适合询问信息的好对象。
【27题详解】
原文第三段提到“Start with a warm ‘Excuse me’ to get their attention”,说明开口求助首先要说“Excuse me”来引起对方注意。
【28题详解】
第二段提到“approachable”后的例子 (店主、警察、当地人) 都是“愿意帮忙、容易沟通”的人,且后文说“These people usually know the area well and are happy to lend a hand.”,可推测划线单词“approachable”意为“容易相处的、易沟通的”,即easy to get along with。
【29题详解】
原文最后一段提到“Asking for help nicely isn’t just about getting directions. It’s about making connections, even quick ones.”,说明礼貌交流既能得到帮助,也可以建立短暂联系。
【30题详解】
全文围绕礼貌询问信息的技巧、确认路线的方法展开,“Tips on asking for information politely and following directions”符合主旨。

请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题,并将答案写在对应题目的答题位置上。
Look at the stories of great people, and you’ll notice one thing: they all started as learners. But here’s the question we often ask—are we born with the ability to learn? Science says yes! Babies learn to walk and talk without formal lessons, which shows our brains are made for learning from day one. But being an excellent learner? That’s a skill we build, not just something we’re given.
Think about your last mistake on a test or homework. Did you ignore it, or find out why you got it wrong? The best learners choose the second option. Mistakes aren’t failures—they’re like signs pointing out what you need to practice more. Small tricks help too: write down key points when you read, and spend 10 minutes reviewing them each night. It’s not about studying longer; it’s about studying smarter.
And here’s the big truth: learning doesn’t end when you leave school. Your grandma might be learning to use a smartphone, or your dad could be trying a new sport. A recent study even found that people who keep learning new things have sharper minds as they age.
So, you already have the first tool to learn—your brain. Now add curiosity, a willingness to fix mistakes, and a love for trying new things. Learning isn’t a task; it’s a lifelong adventure, and every step you take is worth it.
46. What shows that human brains are made for learning from birth?
_____________________________________________________________________
47. What are people born with according to science?
_____________________________________________________________________
48. What do the best learners do when they make a mistake on a test or homework?
_____________________________________________________________________
49. How long does the passage suggest spending reviewing key points each night?
_____________________________________________________________________
50. What did a recent study find about people who keep learning new things?
_____________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. Babies learn to walk and talk without formal lessons.

Imagine standing in a busy street in a new town, phone dead, and no idea where to find a café. We’ve all been there—stuck needing help, but not sure how to ask without feeling awkward. The good news? Asking for information politely isn’t hard, and it can turn a stressful moment into a smooth one.
The first step is picking the right person to talk to. You don’t have to guess—look for people who seem approachable: a shopkeeper arranging goods behind a counter, a police officer walking a beat, or even a local sitting on a bench. These people usually know the area well and are happy to lend a hand.
When you walk up to them, forget rushing into your question. Start with a warm “Excuse me” to get their attention—that shows you respect their time. Then, use soft words like “could” or “please” to make your request feel friendly, not demanding. Instead of saying “Where’s the bus stop?”, try “Excuse me, could you please tell me where the nearest bus stop is?” It sounds small, but it makes a big difference in how people respond.
Once they answer, don’t just nod and walk away—make sure you understand. Listen closely, and if something confuses you, say “Sorry, could you repeat that part about turning left?” It’s better to ask again politely than to get lost later. You can even say, “So I need to go straight then turn right at the park—did I get that right?” to double-check.
Asking for help nicely isn’t just about getting directions. It’s about making connections, even quick ones. With these small steps, you’ll never feel stuck again—whether you’re in a new place or just need to know where to buy a pen.
26. Which of the following people is NOT a good choice to ask for information according to the passage?
A. A shopkeeper arranging goods.
B. A police officer walking on the street.
C. A tourist visiting the town for the first time.
D. A local person sitting on a bench.
27. What should you say first when asking someone for information?
A. “Where is the nearest bank?”
B. “Excuse me.”
C. “Could you help me?”
D. “Thank you for your help.”
28. What does the underlined word “approachable” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. difficult to talk to
B. easy to get along with
C. busy with their own things
D. unwilling to help others
29. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. asking for information directly will always make people angry
B. it’s unnecessary to check directions again if you nod at the answer
C. polite communication helps not only get help but also build short connections
D. people in new places always feel stressed and can’t ask for help
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to use a phone to find directions in a new town.
B. Why people feel awkward when asking for information.
C. Tips on asking for information politely and following directions.
D. Different people you can meet in a new place.
C

六、读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分,共25分)
A. 回答问题。
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题,并将答案写在对应题目的答题位置上。
Look at the stories of great people, and you’ll notice one thing: they all started as learners. But here’s the question we often ask—are we born with the ability to learn? Science says yes! Babies learn to walk and talk without formal lessons, which shows our brains are made for learning from day one. But being an excellent learner? That’s a skill we build, not just something we’re given.
Think about your last mistake on a test or homework. Did you ignore it, or find out why you got it wrong? The best learners choose the second option. Mistakes aren’t failures—they’re like signs pointing out what you need to practice more. Small tricks help too: write down key points when you read, and spend 10 minutes reviewing them each night. It’s not about studying longer; it’s about studying smarter.
And here’s the big truth: learning doesn’t end when you leave school. Your grandma might be learning to use a smartphone, or your dad could be trying a new sport. A recent study even found that people who keep learning new things have sharper minds as they age.
So, you already have the first tool to learn—your brain. Now add curiosity, a willingness to fix mistakes, and a love for trying new things. Learning isn’t a task; it’s a lifelong adventure, and every step you take is worth it.
46. What shows that human brains are made for learning from birth?
_____________________________________________________________________
47. What are people born with according to science?
_____________________________________________________________________
48. What do the best learners do when they make a mistake on a test or homework?
_____________________________________________________________________
49. How long does the passage suggest spending reviewing key points each night?

50. What did a recent study find about people who keep learning new things?
