A．about; not having B．with; not have C．with; not to have D．about; not have 【答案】D 【详解】句意：我对自身的健康要求很严格，我宁愿午餐不吃零食。 考查短语辨析。根据“I am strict”和“my health”可知，这里考查固定短语“be strict about sth”，意为“对某事要求严格”。“would rather do sth”，固定短语，意为“宁愿做某事”。根据前半句可判断，后半句意为“宁愿不吃零食”。故选D。 7．—Will you change your choice or ________ your decision?   —I’ll keep it. A．stand up for B．stick to C．put up with D．make up 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——你会改变你的选择还是坚持你的决定？——我会坚持我的决定。 stand up for支持；stick to坚持；put up with忍受；make up编造。根据答语“I’ll keep it.”可知说话人打算保持决定，不改变。结合问句中的“change your choice or…”，此处应填与“改变”相反的含义，应填stick to。 8．—Do you think Jack has the ability to win the race? —I never doubt ________ win the race. A．whether he will B．whether will he C．that he will D．that will he 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——你觉得Jack有能力赢得这场赛跑吗？——我从不怀疑他会赢得比赛。 考查宾语从句。宾语从句的语序为陈述句，选项B和D是疑问语序，排除选项B和D，再根据“I never doubt...win the race.”可知，我从不怀疑他会赢，此处用that引导宾语从句符合语境。故选C。 9．Most boys _______ guns to dolls while most girls _______ have dolls than guns. A．would rather; prefer B．prefer; would rather C．would rather; would rather D．prefer; prefer 【答案】B 【详解】句意：大多数男孩更喜欢枪而不是洋娃娃，而大多数女孩更喜欢洋娃娃而不是枪。考查固定结构。would rather do宁愿做某事；prefer A to B比起B来更喜欢A；都是固定结构。根据句意结构和语境，可知选B。 10．—I just made a small mistake.

A．every dog has its day B．actions speak louder than words C．a miss is as good as a mile D．don’t put all your eggs in one basket 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我只是犯了个小错误，结果整个答案都错了！ ——这就是为什么我们不能太大意。毕竟，差之毫厘，谬以千里。 考查习语。every dog has its day人人皆有得意时；actions speak louder than words事实胜于雄辩；a miss is as good as a mile差之毫厘，谬以千里；don’t put all your eggs in one basket勿孤注一掷。根据“I just made a small mistake. As a result, the whole answer was wrong!”可知，因小失误导致全盘错误，所以“差之毫厘，谬以千里”符合语境。故选C。 二、完形填空(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Lv Zeyi, a boy from Nanjing, is crazy about taking photos of insects (昆虫).

A new tunnel goes through the mountain, and a bridge links the town with villages on the other side of the river. Travelling is much easier than before.Environment The hills around Riverside Town used to be sandy. Sandstorms sometimes damaged farmland.

Why did this small city in Jiangxi Province win such an honor? The answer lies in its history, its skills and its people. Jingdezhen has a long and complete story of porcelain making. People there have made pottery (陶) for over 2,000 years, and its kilns (窑) served the emperors for 600 years. The heritage site covers every step of the work: kaolin mines, forests for fuel, ancient kilns and river locks. From these, the world can see how Chinese porcelain was made and how it travelled along the Maritime Silk Road to other countries. The old skills are still alive. Every piece of fine porcelain goes through 72 steps. In the past, any piece that was not good enough for the emperor was broken on the spot. Those broken pieces, over 20 million of them, formed a small hill called Zhushan, and they still help people learn the old secrets today. Now more than 3,400 craftsmen (手工艺人) pass on the skills, and visitors can try shaping clay or painting on porcelain themselves. ________ An old saying goes, “Craftsmen come from all directions, and porcelain travels the world.” Today, over 60,000 young makers live and create in Jingdezhen, including thousands of artists from more than 60 countries. When asked why they came, many say it is the freedom to create. Jingdezhen protects its past, but it never stops creating. That is the true secret of its thousand-year kiln fire. 33．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Chinese porcelain travelled abroad. B．Why the royal family loved porcelain. C．How the site tells Jingdezhen’s story. D．Where kaolin and fuel were found. 34．Which of the following cannot show the old skills are still alive? A．Bad pieces were broken on the spot in the past. B．Every piece of fine porcelain goes through 72 steps. C．The broken pieces still help people learn the old secrets. D．Visitors can try shaping clay or painting on porcelain. 35．What can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A．The city stays young by staying open. B．The old skills are still in use today. C．Making porcelain is a difficult job. D．Many people visit the city every year. 36．How is the passage organized? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①②③/④/⑤ C．①②③④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ 【答案】33．C 34．A 35．A 36．D 【导语】本文介绍了2026年景德镇陶瓷工业遗址列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录一事，分别从历史传承、技艺延续和人才汇聚三个方面阐述了其入选原因，最后总结了景德镇保护过去并不断创造的核心精神。 【详解】33．通读第二段可知，第二段开篇指出景德镇拥有完整悠久的制瓷发展脉络，随后说明世遗遗址覆盖制瓷全流程相关遗存，世界可借此了解中国瓷器的制作与外销历程，因此该段的核心是阐述该遗址如何展现景德镇的制瓷发展故事。 34．根据第三段“In the past, any piece that was not good enough for the emperor was broken on the spot.”可知，选项A描述的是过去针对不合格御瓷的处理方式，属于历史过往的行为，无法体现当下古老技艺仍具生命力。 35．第四段空格后文提及各地乃至全球60多个国家的创作者汇聚景德镇，自由开展创作，体现了城市的开放性与活力，空格处位于第四段段首，需起到总领该段的作用，A选项“The city stays young by staying open.”可总领全段。 36．通读全文可知，第一段总述景德镇入选世遗并点明原因在于历史、技艺与人三个维度；第二、三、四段分别对应从制瓷历史、传统技艺、多元创作者三个角度展开分述；最后一段总结点明景德镇千年窑火不息的核心是兼顾遗产保护与持续创新，因此文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。 D In today’s fast-changing world, lifelong learning has become more important than ever before. Lifelong learning means keeping learning new knowledge and skills throughout one’s life, not just during the school years. There are many reasons why lifelong learning is necessary. First, technology is developing rapidly. New inventions and technologies appear every day. If we stop learning, we will fall behind the times. For example, many jobs now require basic computer skills. People who don’t know how to use computers may find it hard to find a job. Second, lifelong learning helps us adapt to changes. The world is full of changes, such as changes in the job market, social environment and family life. By learning continuously, we can develop the ability to face these changes bravely and find solutions to problems. Third, lifelong learning enriches (丰富) our lives. Learning new things can bring us joy and satisfaction. It can also help us make more friends and broaden our horizons (眼界). For example, learning a new language can allow us to communicate with people from different countries and learn about different cultures. How can we practise lifelong learning? We can read books, take online courses, attend workshops or join study groups. We can also learn from our daily experiences and the people around us. In short, lifelong learning is essential for personal development and success. It’s never too late to start learning. No matter how old we are, we should keep learning and growing. 37．What does lifelong learning mean? A．Learning only at school. B．Learning new knowledge throughout life. C．Learning only new technologies. D．Learning from friends. 38．Why is lifelong learning necessary? A．Because technology develops slowly. B．Because it helps adapt to changes. C．Because it makes us lazy. D．Because it wastes time. 39．Which of the following is a way to practise lifelong learning? A．Playing online games. B．Watching short videos all day. C．Taking online courses. D．Sleeping late. 40．What can learning a new language bring? A．Difficulty in communication. B．The ability to talk with people from different countries. C．More pressure. D．Less free time. 【答案】37．B 38．B 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了终身学习的含义、终身学习很有必要的三点原因、践行终身学习的方法，最后点明终身学习对个人发展至关重要。 【详解】37．文章第1段“Lifelong learning means keeping learning new knowledge and skills throughout one’s life, not just during the school years.”表明终身学习就是终生学习新知识。 38．文章第3段“Second, lifelong learning helps us adapt to changes.”表明终身学习有必要的原因是它帮助我们适应变化。 39．文章第5段“We can read books, take online courses, attend workshops or join study groups.”表明上网课是践行终身学习的一种方式。 40．文章第4段“For example, learning a new language can allow us to communicate with people from different countries and learn about different cultures.”表明学习新语言可以获得和不同国家的人交谈的能力。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A-F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Few people see the world in two ways, and even fewer can share that understanding with the world. But Pearl S. Buck did. 41 She also worked hard for poor children and other people who needed help. Imagine growing up within two very different worlds. Pearl was born in the United States but grew up in China. She learned English from her mother and Chinese from her local friends. 42 She watched farmers working in the fields, kids playing along rivers, and busy market streets. All of these early memories influenced her whole life. As she grew up, Buck became a well-known writer who showed China to readers around the world. Her book The Good Earth sold really well in America. 43 Buck wrote about common Chinese farmers, families and daily life. She hoped her books could show readers both happiness and difficulties in normal people’s life. In 1938, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. 44 She believed stories could bring people closer and build better understanding between different groups. 45 She set up Welcome House to help homeless kids. This organization helped kids of different backgrounds get new families. In almost 50 years, over 5,000 children found their home through it. For Buck, helping people in need was just as important as writing stories for them. A．However, writing was not the only meaningful part of Buck’s life. B．Lots of Chinese farmers read her books and loved her ideas deeply. C．It even received one of America’s most famous writing prizes in 1932. D．She was the first American woman to get this top world literature prize. E．She could enjoy both the quiet family life and noisy public streets in China. F．She was a famous writer whose works let the rest of the world know about China. 【答案】41．F 42．E 43．C 44．D 45．A 【导语】本文是人物传记，主要介绍赛珍珠的成长经历、文学成就以及她帮助贫困儿童的公益事迹。 【详解】41．空前“But Pearl S. Buck did.”，空后“She also worked hard for poor children and other people who needed help.”，可推出本句总体介绍赛珍珠的身份。选项F“She was a famous writer whose works let the rest of the world know about China.”符合语境，介绍她是作家，引出下文。 42．上文讲她在中国长大，下文列举她观察到的田间、河边等场景，可推出此处写她在中国的生活体验。选项E“She could enjoy both the quiet family life and noisy public streets in China.”描述在中国生活体验，符合语境。 43．空前“Her book The Good Earth sold really well in America.”提到《大地》在美国畅销，选项C“It even received one of America’s most famous writing prizes in 1932.”中的It指代《大地》这本书，承接上文这本书畅销，继续说书获奖。 44．空前“In 1938, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature.”提到1938年获得诺贝尔文学奖，选项D“She was the first American woman to get this top world literature prize.”中的this top world literature prize指代前面的诺贝尔文学奖，衔接合理。 45．空后“She set up Welcome House to help homeless kids.”，可知本段讲写作之外的公益事业。选项A“However, writing was not the only meaningful part of Buck’s life.”起到承上启下作用，转折说明写作不是她人生唯一有意义的事，引出下文公益活动。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last month, I got a chance to help behind the scenes of our school’s annual Talent Show. I had always wondered what went on backstage, 46 this experience was really eye-opening for me. The director, Mrs Chen, gave me a quick tour before the show. She introduced me to the lighting operator 47 was adjusting the spotlights above the stage. The sound operator was checking all the microphones one by one. A make-up artist was 48 (busy) touching up the performers’ faces in the dressing room. 49 I had expected the backstage area to be calm and quiet, it was actually very busy and noisy. People were rushing around with sheets of paper in their hands, 50 (shout) instructions to each other. But as soon as the show started, everything fell into place. I helped carry props and guided performers to the stage entrance. The most 51 (excite) moment came when the host announced the winner. The whole audience stood up and cheered. 52 (work) behind the scenes made me realize that putting on a good show requires teamwork and hard work from many people.

I also know a Slovakian girl who has been studying Chinese for four years and dreams to become a translator. She started university in Shanghai this September and was so amazed by the fast development of China’s economy. “The high-speed” rail is amazing, and we got to Suzhou in half an hour!

Travelling is much easier than before.Environment The hills around Riverside Town used to be sandy. Sandstorms sometimes damaged farmland. With the government’s support, local people planted bushes with long roots and then planted more trees. Today, much of the land is covered with green plants, and there are fewer sandstorms.Business In the past, farmers sold most of their products at a small local market.

C On July 25, 2026, the sites of Jingdezhen’s traditional porcelain (瓷) industry were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List (联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录), becoming China’s 61st World Heritage site. Why did this small city in Jiangxi Province win such an honor? The answer lies in its history, its skills and its people. Jingdezhen has a long and complete story of porcelain making. People there have made pottery (陶) for over 2,000 years, and its kilns (窑) served the emperors for 600 years. The heritage site covers every step of the work: kaolin mines, forests for fuel, ancient kilns and river locks. From these, the world can see how Chinese porcelain was made and how it travelled along the Maritime Silk Road to other countries. The old skills are still alive. Every piece of fine porcelain goes through 72 steps. In the past, any piece that was not good enough for the emperor was broken on the spot. Those broken pieces, over 20 million of them, formed a small hill called Zhushan, and they still help people learn the old secrets today. Now more than 3,400 craftsmen (手工艺人) pass on the skills, and visitors can try shaping clay or painting on porcelain themselves. ________ An old saying goes, “Craftsmen come from all directions, and porcelain travels the world.” Today, over 60,000 young makers live and create in Jingdezhen, including thousands of artists from more than 60 countries. When asked why they came, many say it is the freedom to create. Jingdezhen protects its past, but it never stops creating. That is the true secret of its thousand-year kiln fire. 33．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Chinese porcelain travelled abroad. B．Why the royal family loved porcelain. C．How the site tells Jingdezhen’s story. D．Where kaolin and fuel were found. 34．Which of the following cannot show the old skills are still alive? A．Bad pieces were broken on the spot in the past. B．Every piece of fine porcelain goes through 72 steps. C．The broken pieces still help people learn the old secrets. D．Visitors can try shaping clay or painting on porcelain. 35．What can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A．The city stays young by staying open. B．The old skills are still in use today. C．Making porcelain is a difficult job. D．Many people visit the city every year. 36．How is the passage organized? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①②③/④/⑤ C．①②③④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ D In today’s fast-changing world, lifelong learning has become more important than ever before. Lifelong learning means keeping learning new knowledge and skills throughout one’s life, not just during the school years. There are many reasons why lifelong learning is necessary. First, technology is developing rapidly. New inventions and technologies appear every day. If we stop learning, we will fall behind the times. For example, many jobs now require basic computer skills. People who don’t know how to use computers may find it hard to find a job. Second, lifelong learning helps us adapt to changes. The world is full of changes, such as changes in the job market, social environment and family life. By learning continuously, we can develop the ability to face these changes bravely and find solutions to problems. Third, lifelong learning enriches (丰富) our lives. Learning new things can bring us joy and satisfaction. It can also help us make more friends and broaden our horizons (眼界). For example, learning a new language can allow us to communicate with people from different countries and learn about different cultures. How can we practise lifelong learning? We can read books, take online courses, attend workshops or join study groups. We can also learn from our daily experiences and the people around us. In short, lifelong learning is essential for personal development and success. It’s never too late to start learning. No matter how old we are, we should keep learning and growing. 37．What does lifelong learning mean? A．Learning only at school. B．Learning new knowledge throughout life. C．Learning only new technologies. D．Learning from friends. 38．Why is lifelong learning necessary? A．Because technology develops slowly. B．Because it helps adapt to changes. C．Because it makes us lazy. D．Because it wastes time. 39．Which of the following is a way to practise lifelong learning? A．Playing online games. B．Watching short videos all day. C．Taking online courses. D．Sleeping late. 40．What can learning a new language bring? A．Difficulty in communication. B．The ability to talk with people from different countries. C．More pressure. D．Less free time. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A-F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Few people see the world in two ways, and even fewer can share that understanding with the world. But Pearl S. Buck did. 41 She also worked hard for poor children and other people who needed help. Imagine growing up within two very different worlds. Pearl was born in the United States but grew up in China. She learned English from her mother and Chinese from her local friends. 42 She watched farmers working in the fields, kids playing along rivers, and busy market streets. All of these early memories influenced her whole life. As she grew up, Buck became a well-known writer who showed China to readers around the world. Her book The Good Earth sold really well in America. 43 Buck wrote about common Chinese farmers, families and daily life. She hoped her books could show readers both happiness and difficulties in normal people’s life. In 1938, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. 44 She believed stories could bring people closer and build better understanding between different groups. 45 She set up Welcome House to help homeless kids. This organization helped kids of different backgrounds get new families. In almost 50 years, over 5,000 children found their home through it. For Buck, helping people in need was just as important as writing stories for them. A．However, writing was not the only meaningful part of Buck’s life.

In the main room of the tomb, the paintings on the southern part of the east wall show a life situation. On the left, the painting shows a man pushing a stone mill (磨) while a woman is working on the mill. On the far right, the painting shows a man cooking food. He has an iron pan in front of him. The pan sits atop a fire. The lower left shows a man stepping on a pestle (杵), a rice pounding tool made of wood and stone, with a bamboo basket next to the pestle. On the right side of the painting, a woman is getting water from a well using something for raising and lowering the bucket (桶) in a well. Finally, on the far right, the painting ends with the picture of a stove and a large steaming pot on it. A bit further in the painting, we can still see mountains and trees. And in the near distance, a woman in a long skirt is holding a box with both hands. Behind her, we can see a foreign trader in a yellow robe (长袍), holding the reins (缰绳) of the camels and horses in his hands. Long Zhen, a famous expert, explained that the tomb lies on the western side of the mountain facing Taiyuan. The area is an important burial area in the west of the city.
