So he raised 5,000 dollars to support her work in the Mu Us Desert. The two lost contact after donation. But Yin never forgot his help. Today, that 5,000-dollar donation has finally grown into over 50,000 trees. The desert has turned into thick woods, where wild animals come back and sandstorms are well controlled. Missing the kind foreign friend all the time, Yin made a public video and invited Sakolsky to see the forest for himself. The video spread quickly online. An online user wrote, “You give me a drop of water, I return a sea. You plant a single tree, I give back a spring.” With people’s help, they talked through a video call within 48 hours. Learning his small kindness created such great changes, Sakolsky felt greatly surprised and excited. Sakolsky has always loved Chinese culture and kept sharing what he learnt in China with his students after returning home. He gladly accepted Yin’s invitation and hoped to plant trees together in person. This moving story attracts wide attention online. More international friends have joined the tree-planting activity to make the earth greener. The lasting friendship and joint efforts fully show that all humans share one common home, and that kindness will always take root and grow strong. 31. What did Sakolsky donate the money for? A.

But now, many visitors are doing the opposite thing: they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled (流放) to Ningguta”. In many TV shows about ancient China, prisoners (囚犯) are often exiled to Ningguta as a serious punishment. In reality, Ningguta was a historical place in the present-day city of Mudanjiang, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. From 1655, it became a faraway and scary place where prisoners were sent. Life there was very hard because of its freezing weather. Today, however, Ningguta’s freezing weather has become its biggest attraction. In places like the Changbai Mountains, temperatures can drop to -20℃. Travellers put on thick coats and take sled rides — just long enough to feel the “Ningguta cold”. Some places even offer playful activities where visitors wear “prisoner coats” to act out the old exile stories. This new kind of travel has brought about many reviews online. One traveller said, “I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.” Another said, “The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.” Its popularity has also greatly benefited local areas. It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. In this aspect, what was once a place of suffering now brings new chances to the people who live there. 36. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Travelling to warm places in winter. B. A famous Chinese social media platform. C. The name of a popular online activity. D. Travelling north for ice and snow in winter. 37. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To bring out Ningguta’s past. B. To show the life of ancient prisoners. C. To praise TV shows in China. D. To introduce the weather of Ningguta. 38. What has changed the most about Ningguta? A. Its name in history. B. Its meaning for people. C. Its weather in winter. D. Its location on the map. 39. How have people felt about “Ningguta-style” travel according to the reviews? A. Strange. B. Dangerous. C. Enjoyable. D. Expensive. 40. What benefit of “Ningguta-style” travel is shown in the last paragraph? A. It improves the local economy. B. It inspires more people to move to Heilongjiang. C. It brings about government support. D. It helps more people know about Chinese history. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了现在流行“流放宁古塔”式冰雪北行旅游，曾经的古代流放苦寒之地宁古塔，如今借冰雪旅游吸引游客，带动当地经济发展。 【36题详解】 第一段描述：they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled to Ningguta”. 代词it指代前面这件冬天向北去冰雪之地旅行的事。 【37题详解】 第二段介绍：Ningguta在古代是流放犯人的地方，环境严酷。本段是介绍宁古塔过去的历史背景。 【38题详解】 文中对比：古代这里是受苦流放之地，如今寒冷变成旅游吸引力，给当地人带来新机遇。它的地理位置、天气没变，是对人们的意义发生改变。 【39题详解】 第四段游客评价：“I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.”“The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.”，能看出游客觉得这次旅行令人愉快。 【40题详解】 最后一段写到：It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. 说明这种旅游带动当地商业、创造岗位，改善当地经济。 D Imagine you have a 10-minute video to watch for your English homework, but you also want to watch a 5-minute video from your favorite vlogger (视频博主). With only 10 minutes to spare, what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the “1.5x” or “2x” button (按钮). This practice, known as “speed-watching”, is changing how young people use the internet. Speed-watching has become a common habit on many online video platforms (平台). According to reports, viewers save hundreds of years of watch time every day by speeding up videos. The most popular setting is 1.5x speed (1.5 times normal speed). Many young viewers say that watching videos at normal speed feels too slow or even boring. By increasing speed, they can turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons. But is speed-watching good for your brain? Some scientists believe it can be. Recent studies show that watching educational videos at 1.5x or 2x speed does not harm memory or understanding. In fact, it may even improve focus. When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort helps prevent the mind from wandering (开小差) and keeps viewers focused on the screen. However, speed-watching is not perfect. While it saves time, it can sometimes reduce what researchers call “cognitive (认知) depth.” This means that even if viewers remember the facts, they may not have enough time to think deeply. If videos are played at very high speeds—such as 3x—important details or feelings may be missed. Scientists even warn that too much screen time, especially at high speed, can make teenagers lose interest in class, become impatient, and fail to think deeply. Speed-watching is useful in the digital age. It helps viewers manage their time and stay focused. But it is also important to pause (暂停) and think. So young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply. 41. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To ask readers for advice. B. To introduce an invention. C. To describe students’ lives. D. To present a digital habit. 42. What does the underlined word “engaging” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Tiring. B. Difficult. C. Interesting. D. Similar. 43. Why does speed-watching improve focus? A. It reduces video length. B. It saves viewers’ time. C. It requires more brain work. D. It makes videos more attractive. 44. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Dangers of high-speed viewing. B. Benefits of speed-watching. C. Methods of screen-time saving. D. Problems of deep thinking. 45. What advice does the writer give to young people? A. Giving up speed-watching. B. Limiting speed-watching time. C. Pausing videos as often as possible. D. Watching videos at the highest speed. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. C 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了“倍速观看”这一数字时代的新习惯，分析了其益处（节省时间、提高专注力）和潜在问题（降低认知深度），并给出了建议。 【41题详解】 第一段通过一个假设场景：“Imagine you have a 10-minute video...but you also want to watch a 5-minute video...what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the ‘1.5x’ or ‘2x’ button.”，引出“倍速观看”这一数字习惯。因此本段主要目的是“呈现一种数字习惯”。 【42题详解】 第二段中“engaging”所在句为：“turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons”，结合前文“normal speed feels too slow or even boring”，因此“engaging”意为“有趣的”。 【43题详解】 第三段指出：“When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort...keeps viewers focused”，说明倍速观看需要更多脑力工作，从而提高专注力。 【44题详解】 第四段讨论了速度过快可能导致的问题：降低认知深度、错过细节、产生不耐烦等，因此主要讲“高速观看的危险”。 【45题详解】 最后一段作者建议：“young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply.”，说明要限制倍速观看时间。 第三节 任务型阅读（每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读下面的短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you ever wish you had more time in a day? Everyone gets the same amount (数量) of time each day. ____46____ As a popular saying says, “Work smarter, not harder.” ● Set priorities (优先权). ____47____ Also, consider whether or not they are urgent (紧急的) if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren’t urgent, so make time for them. ● Make a detailed daily plan. Decide ahead of time what you are going to do at a certain time each day. ____48____ Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Do difficult tasks when you feel good and do easy ones when you’re tired. ● Write down what you need to do and when. Keep two to-do lists: One for the present tasks and one for larger projects you’re working on. ____49____ And you don’t get discouraged by looking at a long list of items you can’t finish. You focus on the shorter list of each day’s tasks. ● ____50____ When someone wants to give you a task, think carefully. Is it really necessary to spend your valuable time on it? Could someone else do it instead? In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it. A. Say no to things that aren’t so necessary. B. Think about the time of day you work best. C. But there are some ways to use those hours better. D. Make sure which of your tasks is the most important. E. That way you can make sure you don’t forget anything. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. E 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几种更好利用时间的方法，告诉我们做好计划并坚持执行就能合理用好时间。 【46题详解】 根据上文“Everyone gets the same amount (数量) of time each day.”及下文“Work smarter, not harder.”可知，上文提到每个人每天时间相同，下文建议更聪明地工作，C项“But there are some ways to use those hours better.”承上启下，符合语境。 【47题详解】 根据小标题“Set priorities (优先权).”可知，该段主题是设定任务优先权，D项“Make sure which of your tasks is the most important.”与标题及下文关于紧急性的描述逻辑一致。 【48题详解】 下文“Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening?”提到要考虑自己在早晨、下午还是晚上状态更好，B项“Think about the time of day you work best.”与之呼应，引出下文。 【49题详解】 前文提到“Keep two to-do lists”，E项“That way you can make sure you don’t forget anything.”说明列清单的作用，和后文不会因完不成的长清单气馁的内容逻辑连贯。 【50题详解】 该段内容是面对他人分配的任务要谨慎判断是否值得花费自己的时间，A项“Say no to things that aren’t so necessary.”精准概括该段主旨，适合作为小标题。 第二部分（非选择题） IV. 书面表达（共四节，满分45分） 第一节 情景交际 根据情景提示，写出一个恰当的句子。（每小题2分，满分10分） 51. A: Would you like to show me around your hometown? B: __________________________________________. 【答案】Sure, I’d love to./Sorry, I can’t. 【解析】 【详解】A句用Would you like to...发出邀请，询问对方是否愿意带自己参观家乡，B句可作肯定或否定回答。肯定回答Sure, I’d love to.中，Sure表示同意，I’d love to是I would love to的缩写，to后省略动词原形；否定回答Sorry, I can’t.中，Sorry表示歉意，I can’t表示不能做到；句号表示陈述句。 52. A: __________________________________________? B: Yes, it has! My hometown has changed quite a lot. 【答案】Has your hometown changed a lot 【解析】 【详解】根据答语“Yes, it has!”可知，此句是现在完成时的一般疑问句，结合“My hometown has changed quite a lot.”，应是询问“你的家乡变化很大吗”，故“Has your hometown changed a lot”符合语境。 53. A: __________________________________________? B: I admire Yuan Longping the most. 【答案】Who do you admire the most? 【解析】 【详解】B句回答最敬佩袁隆平，因此A句应询问对方最敬佩谁，用Who引导的特殊疑问句。Who“谁”，疑问代词，作admire的宾语，置于句首；do是助动词，用于一般现在时的一般疑问句；you作主语；admire“敬佩”，动词原形；the most“最”，表示程度，放在句尾；句末用问号。 54. A: What do you think of Wang Yaping? B: ________________________________________________. 【答案】She is full of courage and wisdom 【解析】 【详解】问句“What do you think of...”用于询问对某人的看法或评价，答句需给出具体的品质或特点描述。Wang Yaping作为中国女航天员，其典型特质正是“勇气”和“智慧”，因此“She is full of courage and wisdom.”直接回应了评价类问句，内容贴合人物身份，逻辑通顺，符合口语交际习惯。 55. A: __________________________________________? B: I study history by using mind maps. 【答案】How do you study history 【解析】 【详解】B句回答通过使用思维导图学习历史，因此A句应询问对方学习历史的方式，用How引导的特殊疑问句。How“如何、怎样”，疑问副词，询问方式；do是助动词，用于一般现在时的一般疑问句；you作主语；study“学习”，动词原形；history“历史”，作宾语；句末用问号。 第二节 看图写句 （每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所给图片和提示词，写出一个正确的句式表达。 56. dream ________________________________________ 57. used to, farm ________________________________________ 58. it, kind, help ________________________________________ 59. there be ________________________________________ 60. collect, since 2001 ________________________________________ 【答案】56. My dream is to be a chemist/scientist./I dream of becoming a chemist/scientist. 57. He used to grow vegetables on a farm. 58. It is kind of him to help the old man cross the road. 59. There is a ship on the sea. 60. I have collected many seeds since 2001. 【解析】 【56题详解】 结合图片和提示词“dream”可知，本句可表达为“我梦想成为一名化学家/科学家”。“某人梦想做某事”可用one’s dream is to do sth.或sb. dream of doing sth.的固定搭配，描述当前愿望用一般现在时。故填My dream is to be a chemist/scientist.或I dream of becoming a chemist/scientist. 【57题详解】 结合图片和提示词“used to, farm”可知，本句可表达为“他过去常在农场种蔬菜”。“过去常做某事”用used to do sth.的固定搭配。故填He used to grow vegetables on a farm. 【58题详解】 结合图片和提示词“it, kind, help”可知，本句可表达为“他帮助老人过马路真是太善良了”。“某人做某事真是太……了”形容人的品质用It is+adj.+of sb.+to do sth.的固定句型。故填It is kind of him to help the old man cross the road. 【59题详解】 结合图片和提示词“there be”可知，本句可表达为“海上有一艘轮船”。表示“某地有某物”用there be句型：There be+主语+地点状语，主语a ship是单数，be动词用is。故填There is a ship on the sea. 【60题详解】 结合图片和提示词“collect, since 2001”可知，本句可表达为“我从2001年以来收集了许多种子”。“since+过去的时间点”是现在完成时的典型标志，结构为have/has+过去分词。主语I是第一人称，助动词用have。故填I have collected many seeds since 2001. 第三节 短文填词（每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境或具体提示，补全空格，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。每空不超过两个单词。 Huang Wenxiu, the first secretary (书记) of Baini Village in Guangxi, once said, “I come from ____61____ poor mountain area in Guangxi.

So he raised 5,000 dollars to support her work in the Mu Us Desert. The two lost contact after donation. But Yin never forgot his help. Today, that 5,000-dollar donation has finally grown into over 50,000 trees. The desert has turned into thick woods, where wild animals come back and sandstorms are well controlled. Missing the kind foreign friend all the time, Yin made a public video and invited Sakolsky to see the forest for himself. The video spread quickly online. An online user wrote, “You give me a drop of water, I return a sea. You plant a single tree, I give back a spring.” With people’s help, they talked through a video call within 48 hours. Learning his small kindness created such great changes, Sakolsky felt greatly surprised and excited. Sakolsky has always loved Chinese culture and kept sharing what he learnt in China with his students after returning home. He gladly accepted Yin’s invitation and hoped to plant trees together in person. This moving story attracts wide attention online. More international friends have joined the tree-planting activity to make the earth greener. The lasting friendship and joint efforts fully show that all humans share one common home, and that kindness will always take root and grow strong. 31. What did Sakolsky donate the money for? A. To improve Yin’s life. B. To help plant trees. C. To protect wild animals. D. To make short videos. 32. What is the correct order of the events about Sakolsky? ①He made a donation to Yin. ②He gladly accepted Yin’s invitation. ③He talked with Yin through a video call. ④He shared Chinese culture with his students. A. ①②④③ B. ①④③② C. ②③①④ D. ②④①③ 33. Why does the writer mention the online user’s words in Paragraph 3? A. To share his life experiences. B. To offer readers some tips. C. To explain the growth of forests. D. To show our thanks for kindness. 34. What can we know about Ronald Sakolsky? A. He worked as a forest guard in America. B. He has been keeping in touch with Yin all the time. C. He was amazed at the great results of his small help. D. He planted thousands of trees in Mu Us Desert in 1999. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Hard Work on the Desert B. Common Home on the Earth C. A Short Call, a Long Friendship D. A Small Act, a Big Difference C In the past, people preferred to travel to warm places in winter. But now, many visitors are doing the opposite thing: they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled (流放) to Ningguta”. In many TV shows about ancient China, prisoners (囚犯) are often exiled to Ningguta as a serious punishment. In reality, Ningguta was a historical place in the present-day city of Mudanjiang, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. From 1655, it became a faraway and scary place where prisoners were sent. Life there was very hard because of its freezing weather. Today, however, Ningguta’s freezing weather has become its biggest attraction. In places like the Changbai Mountains, temperatures can drop to -20℃. Travellers put on thick coats and take sled rides — just long enough to feel the “Ningguta cold”. Some places even offer playful activities where visitors wear “prisoner coats” to act out the old exile stories. This new kind of travel has brought about many reviews online. One traveller said, “I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.” Another said, “The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.” Its popularity has also greatly benefited local areas. It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. In this aspect, what was once a place of suffering now brings new chances to the people who live there. 36. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Travelling to warm places in winter. B. A famous Chinese social media platform. C. The name of a popular online activity. D. Travelling north for ice and snow in winter. 37. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To bring out Ningguta’s past. B. To show the life of ancient prisoners. C. To praise TV shows in China. D. To introduce the weather of Ningguta. 38. What has changed the most about Ningguta? A. Its name in history. B. Its meaning for people. C. Its weather in winter. D. Its location on the map. 39. How have people felt about “Ningguta-style” travel according to the reviews? A. Strange. B. Dangerous. C. Enjoyable. D. Expensive. 40. What benefit of “Ningguta-style” travel is shown in the last paragraph? A. It improves the local economy. B. It inspires more people to move to Heilongjiang. C. It brings about government support. D. It helps more people know about Chinese history. D Imagine you have a 10-minute video to watch for your English homework, but you also want to watch a 5-minute video from your favorite vlogger (视频博主). With only 10 minutes to spare, what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the “1.5x” or “2x” button (按钮). This practice, known as “speed-watching”, is changing how young people use the internet. Speed-watching has become a common habit on many online video platforms (平台). According to reports, viewers save hundreds of years of watch time every day by speeding up videos. The most popular setting is 1.5x speed (1.5 times normal speed). Many young viewers say that watching videos at normal speed feels too slow or even boring. By increasing speed, they can turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons. But is speed-watching good for your brain? Some scientists believe it can be. Recent studies show that watching educational videos at 1.5x or 2x speed does not harm memory or understanding. In fact, it may even improve focus. When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort helps prevent the mind from wandering (开小差) and keeps viewers focused on the screen. However, speed-watching is not perfect. While it saves time, it can sometimes reduce what researchers call “cognitive (认知) depth.” This means that even if viewers remember the facts, they may not have enough time to think deeply. If videos are played at very high speeds—such as 3x—important details or feelings may be missed. Scientists even warn that too much screen time, especially at high speed, can make teenagers lose interest in class, become impatient, and fail to think deeply. Speed-watching is useful in the digital age. It helps viewers manage their time and stay focused. But it is also important to pause (暂停) and think. So young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply. 41. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To ask readers for advice. B. To introduce an invention. C.
