A. the better B. the best C. a best D. a better 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得电影《南京照相馆》怎么样？——哦，非常精彩且感人！我认为我将看不到一部更好的电影了。 考查形容词比较级。the better比较级，特指；the best最高级；a best表述错误，形容词最高级前通常需加the；a better比较级，泛指。根据“so wonderful and moving!”可知，说话人对于这部电影的评价非常高，由此可推知，说话人表达的应该是：我认为我将看不到一部更好的电影了。此处表示泛指，用a better one。故选D。 2. Our English teacher Miss Wang is a ________ lady and she often teaches us how to work out the problems again and again. A. humorous B. patient C. honest D. cheerful 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的英语老师王小姐是一位耐心的女士，她经常一遍又一遍地教我们如何解决问题。 考查形容词辨析。humorous幽默的；patient耐心的；honest诚实的；cheerful开朗的。根据“she often teaches us how to work out the problems again and again.”可知，此处描述老师一遍遍教学生解决问题，体现的是耐心，所以应该用patient。故选B。 3. —What’s the ________ of your great success? —Believing in myself and focusing on what I am doing. A. power B. fact C. secret D. chance 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你取得巨大成功的秘诀是什么？——相信自己，专注于自己正在做的事情。 power力量；fact事实；secret秘诀；chance机会。根据答语“Believing in myself and focusing on what I am doing.”可知，这是在分享成功的关键方法，因此问句是在询问成功的秘诀，应填secret。 4. —Both Judy and Henry take part in some club activities at school, right? —Yes. Judy is in ________ clubs than Henry, but she still has ________ time to rest because she needs to take more classes than Henry after school. A. less; less B. fewer; less C. fewer; fewer D. more; more 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——朱迪和亨利都参加了学校的一些俱乐部活动，对吗？——是的。朱迪参加的俱乐部比亨利少，但她仍然没有多少时间休息，因为她在放学后需要比亨利上更多的课。 考查形容词比较级。less更少的，修饰不可数名词；fewer更少的，修饰可数名词复数；more更多的，既可修饰可数名词复数也可修饰不可数名词。根据“because she needs to take more classes than Henry after school”可知，朱迪休息时间更少，time为不可数名词，第二空用less；根据“but she still has”可知，句子为转折关系，朱迪参加的俱乐部应该是比亨利少，clubs为可数名词复数，第一空用fewer。故选B。 5. —I ________ in bed all day at home yesterday because of the headache. —But you ________ to me that you went to school. A. lay; lied B. lied; laid C. laid; lied D. lay; lay 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——昨天我因为头痛，一整天都躺在家里床上。——但你骗我说你去上学了。 考查动词辨析。lay放置（原形），躺（lie的过去式）；lied撒谎（lie的过去式）；laid放置（lay的过去式）。根据“I … in bed all day at home yesterday”可知，此处指躺在床上，时态为一般过去时，用lie“躺”的过去式lay；根据“to me that you went to school”可知，此处指对方撒谎了，用lie“说谎”的过去式lied。故选A。 6. The more you get to the traditional Chinese skills, ________ you will be in them. A. the more interesting B. the more interested C. the more interest D. more interested 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：你越接触中国传统技艺，你就会对它们越感兴趣。 考查形容词比较级的用法。interesting有趣的，修饰物；interested感兴趣的，修饰人；interest兴趣，名词。“the+比较级…, the+比较级…”，表示“越……，越……”，be interested in“对……感兴趣”，空格处需用形容词interested修饰人，且用比较级形式（more interested）。故选B。 7. —The apple pies here taste ________ than those from anywhere else. —Yes. But it will be better if they are ________. A. better; more expensive B. worse; more expensive C. better; less expensive D. worse; less expensive 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这里的苹果派尝起来比别处的更好。——是的。但如果它们更便宜，会更好。 考查形容词比较级辨析。better更好；worse更差；more expensive更贵；less expensive更便宜。根据语境，第一空，答语“Yes”表示同意前一句的观点，因此苹果派的味道应比别处更好，所以用“better”；第二空，由“But”转折可知，尽管味道好，但希望价格更便宜，这样会更好，所以用“less expensive”。故选C。 8. —The number of the cars is getting ________ in Changzhou. —That’s true. So the traffic problem is ________ than before. A. larger and larger; much better B. larger and larger; much worse C. more and more; even worse D. more and more; very bad 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——常州的汽车数量正变得越来越大。——那是真的。所以交通问题比以前更糟糕了。 描述number（数量）变多用larger，不能用more。表示“越来越……”用“比较级 +and+ 比较级”结构，第一空用larger and larger；汽车数量增加，因此交通问题更糟糕，than表明用比较级，much可修饰比较级，第二空用much worse。 9. —Angela usually comes to school earlier than ________ students in our class. —The early bird catches the worm. She is one of ________ students in her class. A. any other; the best B. the other; the better C. any other; the better D. the other; the best 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——安吉拉通常比我们班的其他同学早到学校。——早起的鸟儿有虫吃。她是班上最好的学生之一。 考查代词和形容词最高级。any other其他任何一个（后接单数名词）；the other其他的（后接复数名词）；the better形容词比较级；the best形容词最高级。根据“than … students in our class”可知，此处指安吉拉比班上其他同学早到学校，第一空用the other；根据“one of … students in her class”可知，她是班上最好的学生之一，“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”，第二空用形容词最高级。故选D。 10. —It’s better to take an umbrella with you, because the weather report says it will rain this afternoon. —________, thank you for your reminder.

After an hour, Jacquai had finished her work. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it. My hair looked beautiful! Now my world has changed.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为一头卷发而感到不自信，在大学时选择拉直头发，但高额的费用让她难以承受。最终，她找到了一家专门为卷发女孩设计的沙龙，在那里，发型师Jacquai用她的双手为作者打造了美丽的发型，让作者重新找回了自信和快乐。 【11题详解】 句意：我妈妈认为我的头发很漂亮。 beautiful漂亮的；strange奇怪的；funny有趣的；amazing惊人的。根据下文“What my classmates didn’t agree”可知，同学们不同意妈妈的观点，而同学们嘲笑头发为“鸟窝”，因此妈妈的观点是积极的，认为头发漂亮。故选A。 【12题详解】 句意：当我上大学时，我决定改变我的发型。 follow跟随；change改变；accept接受；hide隐藏。根据下文“I had my curly hair straightened (拉直).”可知，作者把卷发拉直了，说明她改变了发型。故选B。 【13题详解】 句意：人们说我不明智，花了那么多钱。 unhappy不高兴的；unwise不明智的；generous慷慨的；creative有创造力的。根据上文“However, it cost me $500 every six months to do this.”可知，作者每六个月要花500美元来拉直头发，这是不明智的。故选B。 【14题详解】 句意：但对我来说，我愿意做任何事来永远不再看到镜子里那个卷发的女孩。 hardly几乎不；ever曾经；never从不；almost几乎。根据上文“What my classmates didn’t agree. They laughed at it, calling my hair the ‘bird’s nest’.”以及作者改变发型的行为可知，作者因为卷发而受到嘲笑，所以她愿意做任何事来永远不再看到镜子里那个卷发的女孩。故选C。 【15题详解】 句意：但当我开始自己租公寓时，成本太高了。 truth真相；mark标记；cost成本；style风格。根据前文提到拉直头发花费高，以及“I had to be careful with money”可知，租房后经济压力大，成本成为问题。故选C。 【16题详解】 句意：所以我开始怀疑是否应该继续我的计划。 answering回答；wondering想知道；believing相信；forgetting忘记。根据下文“I turned to the Internet for help.”可知，作者需要帮助说明她不知道是否继续拉直头发，因此“wondering”表示“怀疑”或“思考”。故选B。 【17题详解】 句意：你真的认为这会有效吗？ finish完成；fail失败；work有效；act行动。根据“As my head was covered with a jelly-like jam”可知，这里作者询问沙龙方法是否有效，后文发型师肯定回答，因此“work”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 句意：没有卷发是无药可救的。 meaningless无意义的；helpless无助的；useless无用的；hopeless无希望的。根据发型师的回答“You just haven’t found a way to deal with it”可知，卷发都可以打理，没有是“hopeless”的。故选D。 【19题详解】 句意：我比以前更外向和快乐了。 cheerful快乐的；honest诚实的；patient耐心的；bored无聊的。根据后文“People say that I’m looking better and better”可知，作者变得积极快乐。故选A。 【20题详解】 句意：人们说我看起来越来越好了，但他们看不出为什么它改变了。 where哪里；run跑步；why为什么；how如何。根据上下文，人们注意到作者变化但不知道原因，因此“why”表示原因。故选C。 四、阅读理解(共9小题，每小题2分，满分18分) “Could you please plan a four-day trip for a family to Jilin Province in northeast China? We’re a family of four from Beijing,” Wang Qian, a mother of two, asked the AI platform (平台) DeepSeek before this year’s National Day holiday. Wang is part of a growing number of Chinese tourists using AI to enhance their travel experiences. In China, AI technology is developing very fast. Major tourism platforms have integrated (融合) AI technology, allowing users to ask questions about their travel plans. Then AI can provide advice that suits them within minutes. Liang Jianzhang, chairman of Trip.com Group, said, “AI can answer 80 percent of the questions, reducing (减少) users’ trip-planning time from about 9 hours to 6.6 hours.” Not only tourism platforms, but also some provinces and cities are using AI to develop tourism. In Guizhou Province, a digital (数字的) human named Huang Xiaoxi, dressed in traditional local clothes, provides tourists with many kinds of service, like giving information, booking tickets, and even writing travel notes. Wearable smart guide devices (设备) have also become more popular in China, especially in museums. These devices offer users a private AI tour guide at a much lower price than human guides. AI is changing travel experiences in China in many ways. In the future, it will play an even more important role in Chinese tourism. 21. What does the underlined word “enhance” most probably mean? A. Record. B. Improve. C. Believe. D. Share. 22. What does Liang Jianzhang think of AI? A. It helps save time. B. It’s developing fast. C. It helps save money. D. It’s becoming more popular. 23.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI技术在中国旅游行业的快速发展及其应用。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Major tourism platforms have integrated (融合) AI technology, allowing users to ask questions about their travel plans. Then AI can provide advice that suits them within minutes.”可知，主流旅游平台已整合AI技术，用户可针对旅行计划提问，AI能在几分钟内提供个性化建议；结合前文“Wang is part of a growing number of Chinese tourists using AI to enhance their travel experiences.”和选项可知，越来越多游客利用AI提供的个性化建议提升旅行体验。因此，enhance与improve“改善，提升”语义相近，指通过AI优化旅行体验。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“AI can answer 80 percent of the questions, reducing users’ trip-planning time from about 9 hours to 6.6 hours.”可知，AI能回答80%的问题，将用户的行程规划时间从约9小时减少到6.6小时。因此，梁建章认为AI能节省时间。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Huang Xiaoxi...provides tourists with many kinds of service, like giving information, booking tickets, and even writing travel notes.”可知，黄小西为游客提供多种服务，如信息咨询、订票甚至代写旅行笔记，未提及“制作传统服饰”。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。全文围绕AI在旅游中的技术应用展开，属于科技与旅游结合的题材，因此，本文最可能出自科学类杂志。故选A。 The she-wolf and One-Eye walked for two days. The she-wolf was still searching for something. One-Eye knew what she was looking for. They came to the opening of a cave (洞穴). The she-wolf went inside. One-Eye waited at the mouth of the cave and lay in the sun. The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. It was larger inside than at the opening. It was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside. She found what she needed. One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him, and he quickly backed out. He was hungry, so he decided to hunt. He found wild animals, but he could not catch them. He got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male (雄性的) wolves sometimes ate their cubs. One-Eye was not that kind of wolf. He knew he had to find food for his mate and cubs. He set off to hunt again. Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it, it rolled (卷) itself into a ball. One-Eye knew it was a porcupine (豪猪), an animal with sharp spines (刺). When it was attacked, it shot these spines at its attacker. He had to give up. He came to the riverside and caught a bird. He was hungry and began to eat the bird. He remembered the she-wolf and cubs in the cave and stopped eating. He picked up the dead bird and began to carry it back to the cave. One-Eye saw the porcupine again. A lynx (山猫) was watching secretly. The lynx was waiting for the right moment to attack the porcupine. The porcupine thought it was safe and began to unroll. When it unrolled, the lynx ran to the porcupine and tried to bite it. The porcupine quickly rolled itself up again and shot sharp spines into the lynx. The lynx jumped into the air in great pain and then ran away quickly. The porcupine was badly hurt and half rolled up. One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave. The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and wolf cubs. —Adapted from White Fang 25. Which is TRUE about the cave? A. It was not safe enough. B. It was cold and wet inside. C. It was large inside and had a small opening. D. It was so small that only the she-wolf could fit in. 26. Which is the correct order of what happened in the passage? ①One-Eye met a porcupine and then left.   ②One-Eye decided to go hunting again.   ③One-Eye carried the porcupine back to the cave.   ④One-Eye came to the riverside and caught a bird. A. ②①④③ B. ①④②③ C. ②④①③ D. ③①④② 27. What does the underlined word “growled” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Smiled gently. B. Shouted angrily. C. Looked carefully. D. Walked slowly. 28. What food did One-Eye bring back to the cave at last? A. A live bird. B. Some small wild animals. C. A hurt lynx. D. A dead porcupine. 29. What can we learn from the story? A. Mothers only protect their babies out of instinct (本能). B. Trust comes from what you do. C. Small animals can always protect themselves. D. Good hunting skills help animals live. 【答案】25. C 26. A 27. B 28. D 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了母狼在山洞内产下五只幼崽，独眼狼外出捕食，带回豪猪喂养母狼和幼崽。独眼狼证明了自己并非残暴之狼，赢得母狼信任，组建起一个温馨的狼群。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. It was larger inside than at the opening. It was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside.”可知，洞穴内部很大，但洞口很小。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He set off to hunt again.”可知，独眼狼决定再次出猎；根据“Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it … He had to give up.”可知，独眼狼遇到一只豪猪，然后离开了；根据“He came to the riverside and caught a bird.”可知，独眼狼来到河边，抓到了一只鸟；根据“One-Eye could see a good place to bite it … and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave.”可知，独眼狼把豪猪背回了山洞。正确顺序为②①④③。故选A。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him, and he quickly backed out.”“He got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male (雄性的) wolves sometimes ate their cubs.”可知，母狼对独眼狼愤怒地低吼，不让他进入山洞里。growled意为“低吼”，与shouted angrily意思相近。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave.”可知，独眼狼最后带了一只死豪猪回山洞。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。本文讲述了母狼在山洞内产下五只幼崽，独眼狼外出捕食，带回豪猪喂养母狼和幼崽。独眼狼证明了自己并非残暴之狼，赢得母狼信任，组建起一个温馨的狼群。结合“The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and wolf cubs.”可知，文章告诉我们：信任源于你的行为。故选B。 五、六选四(共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions (情感). Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about the future are with us. ___30___ They even influence a person’s confidence greatly and make it hard to realize dreams. For example, people who think “I can’t do this” or “I doubt my skills” may fail to finish their tasks. This is one reason why it’s important to know some negative emotions and find ways that change them for the better. ___31___ Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know exactly what you’re experiencing. The best way is to stop for a short time and think for a moment when you notice yourself feeling unhappy. Try to name what emotion it is and say to yourself, “I feel angry, sad, or worried.” ___32___ If you’re unhappy but aren’t quite sure why, it can help to talk to someone you trust, like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret. ___33___ If you have much difficulty talking about your feelings or you think people cannot understand you, keep a diary, draw or paint, or do something else that helps you get through hard times. Anyway, expressing your feelings in a proper way instead of hiding them deep in your heart is a good choice! If you spend time finding out more about your feelings, you will become skilled at solving the emotional problems as they come up. A. It takes practice to know about emotions. B. Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings. C. You should always believe in yourself when you want to give up. D. Devoting yourself to something positive can help lift your mood. E.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍青少年常有情绪起伏，消极情绪会带来诸多危害，并给出了识别情绪、倾诉、写日记等调节消极情绪的方法。 【30题详解】 上文交代当下学业压力和对未来的担忧带来消极情绪；下文“它们甚至会极大影响人的自信心，让人难以实现梦想”进一步介绍消极情绪的危害；E选项“When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be harmful to many parts of life.”，承接上文引出下文具体危害。 【31题详解】 后文提到情绪有时来得突然又强烈，很难准确分辨自己当下是什么情绪，A选项“It takes practice to know about emotions.”引出识别情绪需要练习，符合语境。 【32题详解】 前文建议停下来，分辨自己到底是什么情绪并对自己说出情绪名称，F选项“By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions better and understand your problems more clearly.”说明这样做带来的好处。 【33题详解】 前文建议情绪低落又不明缘由时，可以向信任的亲友倾诉，B选项“Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings.”进一步说明倾诉对处理情绪的作用。 阅读短文回答问题。 Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the most studied number in maths. Its value (数值) is about, 3.14159. Pi is so popular that there is even a special day for it—Pi Day. The day is celebrated on March 14th around the world. What do you know about this never-ending number? Let’s learn some fun facts about it! ◎The history of Pi Day The American mathematician (数学家) and physicist (物理学家) Larry Shaw first celebrated Pi Day in 1988 in San Francisco. In March 2009, Pi Day was officially (官方) recognized (认可) in the US. ◎Pi Day is also Albert Einstein’s birthday Interestingly, Pi Day is also the birthday of the famous physicist Albert Einstein: He was born on March 14th, 1879. ◎Where did the Pi Symbol (π) come from? The symbol π was first used by the British mathematician William Jones in 1706. Later, the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler made it popular in 1737. ◎How many digits (位数) of Pi have been calculated (计算)? Even today, people are racing to calculate more digits of Pi in a never-ending competition. Last year, an American computer company calculated Pi to about 202 trillion (万亿) digits. ◎How long is Pi? It is impossible for a person to remember all the digits of Pi because it just goes on forever. The world record for remembering the most digits of Pi by a person now is 70,000. It was set by Rajveer Meena from India in 2015. 回答不能超过4个单词。 34. When did Pi Day become an official holiday in the US? _____________________________________________________ 35. Which country did the Pi Symbol (π) come from? _____________________________________________________ 36. How many digits of Pi did the American company calculate last year? _____________________________________________________ 【答案】34. In March 2009. 35. It came from Britain. 36. About 202 trillion. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了圆周率日的由来和关于圆周率的一些趣事。 【34题详解】 根据◎The history of Pi Day下内容“In March 2009, Pi Day was officially (官方) recognized (认可) in the US.”可知，2009年3月，圆周率日在美国得到了正式承认。故填In March 2009. 【35题详解】 根据◎Where did the Pi Symbol (π) come from?下内容“The symbol π was first used by the British mathematician William Jones in 1706.”可知，1706年，英国数学家威廉姆·琼斯首次使用了π符号。由此可知，圆周率的符号(π)来自英国。故填It came from Britain. 【36题详解】 根据◎How many digits (位数) of Pi have been calculated (计算)?下内容“Last year, an American computer company calculated Pi to about 202 trillion (万亿) digits.”可知，去年，一家美国计算机公司计算出圆周率约为202万亿位。故填About 202 trillion. 七、单词拼写(一空一词)(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 37. The local charity organization will ________ (提供) the homeless families warm blankets and hot meals during the winter months. 【答案】 offer 【解析】 【详解】句意：当地慈善机构将在冬季为无家可归的家庭提供温暖的毛毯和热饭。括号内的汉语提示“提供”对应动词offer，固定搭配：offer sb sth“为某人提供某物”，will后加动词原形，所以填offer。 38. Eating too many ________ (汉堡包)is not good for our health. 【答案】hamburgers 【解析】 【详解】句意：吃太多汉堡包对我们的健康不好。too many后接可数名词复数，“汉堡包”对应英语为hamburger，是可数名词，其复数形式为hamburgers。故填hamburgers。 39. He seemed ________ (恐惧) when he heard the strange noise outside the window. 【答案】scared 【解析】 【详解】句意：当听到窗外奇怪的声响时，他似乎很恐惧。seem是系动词，后面接形容词作表语，scared表示“感到害怕的”，用来描述人的感受。 40. Mr White’s ________ (建议) about making friends are of great value to me. 【答案】 suggestions 【解析】 【详解】句意：怀特先生关于交友的建议对我来说很有价值。括号内提示中文为“建议”，对应的英文初中常用词有advice和suggestion两个；主语后的be动词是are，说明主语必须是可数名词复数形式：advice是不可数名词，不能搭配are，而suggestion是可数名词，复数形式直接在词尾加-s，故填suggestions。 41. Who helped you ________ (改进) the design of the new model? 【答案】improve##to improve 【解析】 【详解】句意：谁帮你改进了新型号的设计？根据中文提示，improve“改进”符合题意，help sb (to) do sth“帮助某人做某事”，因此填动词原形或者不定式形式。故填improve/to improve。 42. We even raised money by ________ (we) on the street, and people helped a lot. 【答案】 ourselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们甚至在街上自己筹钱，人们给予了很多帮助。we“我们”，人称代词主格，by oneself“独自；亲自”，因此填反身代词ourselves。 43. I think she will be much ________ (sad) after hearing the terrible news. 【答案】sadder 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为她听到这个坏消息后会难过得多。much修饰形容词/副词比较级，用来加深程度，表示“……得多”，sad“难过的”的比较级是sadder。 44. — Do you know the __________(high) of this building? — Yes. It’s about 100 metres high. 【答案】height 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道这个建筑物的高度吗？ ——是的。它大约100米高。空格前为定冠词the，故空格处应填入名词。high可转换为名词height，意为“高度”，且此处特指某一座建筑物的高度，故应用单数形式，故答案为height。 45. She was very tired after three ________ (sleep) nights. 【答案】 sleepless 【解析】 【详解】句意：经过三个不眠之夜后，她非常疲惫。空格位于数词three和名词nights之间，需填形容词作定语修饰nights。根据前半句“她很累”可知是因为没有休息好，sleep意为“睡觉”，加后缀-less表示“无……的”，构成形容词sleepless“失眠的”。故填sleepless。 46. We spend a ________ (meaning) evening together, sharing stories and dreams. 【答案】meaningful 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们一起度过了一个有意义的夜晚，分享故事和梦想。空格后是名词evening“夜晚”，需要用形容词来修饰名词。应填括号内给出的名词meaning“意义”的形容词形式meaningful“有意义的”。 八、(共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 选择正确的单词或词组，并用其适当形式填空。 keep secrets thought different bore a little bit 47.

He ________ (fight) with his brother yesterday, but they made up (和好) before bedtime. 【答案】fought 【解析】 【详解】句意：他昨天和他弟弟打架了，但是他们在睡觉前和好了。时间标志词yesterday表明动作发生在过去，要用一般过去时，fight的过去式是fought。应填fought。 56.

We’re a family of four from Beijing,” Wang Qian, a mother of two, asked the AI platform (平台) DeepSeek before this year’s National Day holiday. Wang is part of a growing number of Chinese tourists using AI to enhance their travel experiences. In China, AI technology is developing very fast. Major tourism platforms have integrated (融合) AI technology, allowing users to ask questions about their travel plans. Then AI can provide advice that suits them within minutes. Liang Jianzhang, chairman of Trip.com Group, said, “AI can answer 80 percent of the questions, reducing (减少) users’ trip-planning time from about 9 hours to 6.6 hours.” Not only tourism platforms, but also some provinces and cities are using AI to develop tourism. In Guizhou Province, a digital (数字的) human named Huang Xiaoxi, dressed in traditional local clothes, provides tourists with many kinds of service, like giving information, booking tickets, and even writing travel notes. Wearable smart guide devices (设备) have also become more popular in China, especially in museums. These devices offer users a private AI tour guide at a much lower price than human guides. AI is changing travel experiences in China in many ways. In the future, it will play an even more important role in Chinese tourism. 21. What does the underlined word “enhance” most probably mean? A.

One-Eye knew what she was looking for. They came to the opening of a cave (洞穴). The she-wolf went inside. One-Eye waited at the mouth of the cave and lay in the sun. The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. It was larger inside than at the opening. It was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside. She found what she needed. One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him, and he quickly backed out. He was hungry, so he decided to hunt. He found wild animals, but he could not catch them. He got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male (雄性的) wolves sometimes ate their cubs. One-Eye was not that kind of wolf. He knew he had to find food for his mate and cubs. He set off to hunt again. Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it, it rolled (卷) itself into a ball. One-Eye knew it was a porcupine (豪猪), an animal with sharp spines (刺). When it was attacked, it shot these spines at its attacker. He had to give up. He came to the riverside and caught a bird. He was hungry and began to eat the bird. He remembered the she-wolf and cubs in the cave and stopped eating. He picked up the dead bird and began to carry it back to the cave. One-Eye saw the porcupine again. A lynx (山猫) was watching secretly. The lynx was waiting for the right moment to attack the porcupine. The porcupine thought it was safe and began to unroll. When it unrolled, the lynx ran to the porcupine and tried to bite it. The porcupine quickly rolled itself up again and shot sharp spines into the lynx. The lynx jumped into the air in great pain and then ran away quickly. The porcupine was badly hurt and half rolled up. One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave. The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and wolf cubs. —Adapted from White Fang 25.
