I’m Maria. Let me tell you about my holiday in Sanya. My parents and I went there in January, and it was the best winter holiday ever! Sanya is in Hainan Province, in the south of China. The weather there was warm—about 25℃ every day. We didn’t need to wear heavy coats like we did in our hometown. Every morning, we went to the beach. I loved walking on the soft sand and watching the sunrise. Sometimes I swam in the sea—the water was cool but nice. One day, we took a boat trip to a small island. The island was very beautiful. We saw many colorful fish when we went snorkeling. My dad took a lot of photos of the sea and the island. In the evening, we ate seafood at a restaurant near the beach. The crabs and shrimps were so delicious! On our last day, we bought some souvenirs for our friends—shell necklaces and coconut candies. When we left Sanya, I felt a little sad. I wanted to stay there longer. If you want a warm winter holiday, Sanya is the perfect place! 26．When did Maria go to Sanya? A．During summer holiday. B．During winter holiday.

Then the man pulled the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “the bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as an 8-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. The baobab tree is called “the Tree of Life”, because it can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab tree can store lots of water. Thirsty people can drink the water in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. The baobab tree leaves are a kind of medicine (药) . People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab tree gets old, its trunk (树干) becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it. 29．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a fact. B．By showing a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 30．Which of the following is the baobab tree in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 31．Which of the following is NOT true? A．The baobab tree has many names. B．Flowers of the baobab tree come out in rainy seasons. C．The leaves of the baobab tree are good medicine. D．The oldest baobab tree is less than 1,000 years old. 32．What’s the best title for the text? A．The Baobab Tree in Africa B．What’s the Baobab Tree like C．A Special Tree—the Baobab Tree D．The Baobab Tree’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．D 32．C 【导语】本文介绍了猴面包树的趣味由来、外形特征、生长习性以及极高的实用价值，介绍了这种独特的树木。 【详解】29．第一段讲述文章开篇内容：“Long ago, when a man first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the man pulled the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place.”，说明作者以一个趣味小故事开篇，引出猴面包树。 30．第二段介绍猴面包树旱季的生长状态：“During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves.”，说明猴面包树在旱季没有树叶，对应正确图片选项。 31．第三段说明猴面包树的寿命特点：“because it can live longer than 1,000 years old.”，表明猴面包树寿命可超过一千年，并非最古老的树不足千年，由此判断D选项该表述与原文不符。 32．文章首段介绍猴面包树的由来，二段介绍其外形和生长习性，三段介绍其价值和用途，全文围绕独特的猴面包树展开，由此可推断最佳标题为介绍这种特殊的树木。 C Five years ago, Sally was the new kid in my class. She was friendly and kind, and we quickly became the best friends. We spent almost every day together, sharing our dreams, worries, and secrets. I trusted her completely, so I told her some of my family life. But one day, everything changed. I walked into school and noticed everyone looking at me strangely. Soon, I realized they were laughing at me. Someone had told them my secrets, and I felt like someone had stabbed me in the back. I couldn’t believe it — I thought it must be Sally. Heartbroken, I decided to change schools. Sally called me many times, but I never answered. I was too hurt and angry to talk to her. For years, I carried the pain of losing our friendship. Five years later, I met Anna, an old classmate, at the bookstore. We started talking about the past, and she told me something surprising: it wasn’t Sally who had shared my secrets. It was Mary, another classmate who loved to talk behind others’ backs. I was shocked. All those years, I had blamed (责怪) the wrong person. I stood there quietly, feeling full of regret (后悔). If I had trusted Sally and called her, if I gave her a chance to explain, there was a chance we would still be friends. I understood that misunderstandings would get worse if we don’t talk about them, but honest conversations can help them. Now, I always remember this lesson. I try to be honest about my feelings and listen to others carefully. When we understand each other, trust grows, and the pain of being apart (分离) goes away. 33．What can we learn about Sally and the writer? A．They are at the same age. B．They were in different classes. C．They spent little time together after school. D．They became close friends soon after they met. 34．What does the underlined phrase “stabbed me in the back” mean? A．She hurt my trust secretly.

A．③→②→④→① B．③→④→②→① C．②→④→③→① D．②→③→④→① 36．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Pain of Not Trusting a Friend B．Misunderstandings in Daily Friendship C．The Importance of Keeping Secrets D．A Lesson in Trust from a Lost Friendship 【答案】33．D 34．A 35．B 36．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因误会好友Sally泄露秘密而结束友谊，多年后得知真相深感后悔，并从中吸取了关于信任与沟通的教训的故事。 【详解】33．根据文章第1段“She was friendly and kind, and we quickly became the best friends.可知，她们相遇后很快成为了好朋友，并能得出解析的结论。 34．根据文章第2段“Someone had told them my secrets, and I felt like someone had stabbed me in the back.”可知，有人泄露了秘密，让作者感到被背叛和信任受损，并能得出解析的结论。 35．根据文章第2段“noticed everyone looking at me strangely”可知③最先发生；根据第3段“carried the pain”可知④随后；根据第4段“met Anna…at the bookstore”可知②接着发生；根据第5段“feeling full of regret”可知①最后发生，并能得出解析的结论。 36．根据文章第6段“Now, I always remember this lesson.”及全文内容可推知文章主要讲述了作者从失去的友谊中吸取了关于信任的教训，并能得出解析的结论。 D Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen made history on August 3,2024.

First, understand the difference between primary and secondary sources. Encyclopaedias are secondary sources—they summarize information from primary sources. 42 For academic work, you should try to find the original research or documents whenever possible. Second, pay attention to when an article was last updated. 43 For example, a science article from 2010 may not include recent discoveries. Always check the date before you use the information. Third, be aware of potential bias. Every source has a perspective, whether it is written by a human or generated by AI. 44 Read articles from multiple viewpoints to get a more balanced understanding. 45 Whether you use a printed encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, or an AI-powered tool, the key is to think critically, verify information, and never stop asking questions. Knowledge is powerful only when it is accurate. A．Knowledge that is outdated can be just as misleading as knowledge that is wrong. B．A single source, no matter how authoritative, can never tell the whole story. C．Remember that no single tool is perfect. D．They are great starting points, but they should not be your only source. E．The way we access knowledge has changed, but the principles of good research remain the same. F．AI-generated articles are always more reliable than human-written ones. 【答案】41．E 42．D 43．A 44．B 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍在人工智能与网络信息时代，正确使用百科全书的几条准则，教会读者理性辨别、查证信息。 【详解】41．前文点明AI与网络时代，正确使用百科全书比以往更重要，后文引出下面几条准则。此处需要过渡句衔接前后文，E选项“The way we access knowledge has changed, but the principles of good research remain the same.”承接首句，自然引出下文的方法指导。 42．前文说明百科全书属于二手资料，用来汇总一手资料里的信息，后文建议做学术研究尽量查找原始文献。此处需要承接句，D选项“They are great starting points, but they should not be your only source.”中“They”指代“Encyclopaedias”，承接上文，引出不能只依靠百科全书的观点。 43．前文提出要留意文章的最后更新时间，后文举例说明早年的科学文章可能缺少新发现，使用信息前要核对日期。此处需要解释关注更新时间的原因，A选项 “Knowledge that is outdated can be just as misleading as knowledge that is wrong.”承接上文，点明过时知识的危害。 44．前文提到要留意潜在偏见，任何来源都带有自身视角，后文建议阅读多角度文章，获得更全面的理解。此处需要过渡句，B选项“A single source, no matter how authoritative, can never tell the whole story.”承接上文，引出要参考多种观点的做法。 45．后文阐述不管使用纸质百科、维基百科还是AI工具，关键在于批判性思考、核验信息，不断提出疑问。此处需要总起句，C选项“Remember that no single tool is perfect.”总领本段，引出下文使用工具的核心原则。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I was much taller than other girls in Grade Eight, 46 I often bent (弯曲) my body at the back of the line.

Written records show that people began to use all kinds of natural signs to make weather forecasts (天气预报) long ago. Even today, some mountain climbers and hikers still partly depend on these signs to know about weather changes. How do they tell what the weather will be like? Watching the sky is a common way to predict weather. Clouds change a lot when a storm is coming, so they are usually good signs. For example, dark clouds mean bad weather, and low white soft clouds show sunny days. If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west. A ring of light around the moon may tell us rain is on the way. Another popular way is to watch animals...animals can feel small weather changes that humans cannot. If ants move their nests or birds fly close to the ground, it might mean rain is coming. Some other animal signs are not well studied, but they are still part of weather lore (气象谚语). People think when squirrels collect much more food than usual, a cold winter may arrive soon. Besides, listening to the human body can also help predict the weather. Before storms, people with old hurts or joint (关节) problems often feel more uncomfortable. These ways are not always perfectly right, but they show people’s great wisdom. People learned these useful skills over a long time to live with nature. 66．How did ancient people predict weather a long time ago? 67．How many ways are mentioned (被提及) to predict weather? 68．When can people see good weather and bad weather appear at the same time? 69．How does the writer show animals can feel small weather changes? 70．What do you think of these old ways to predict weather? Give one reason in your own words. 【答案】66． By using all kinds of natural signs. 67． Three. 68． When they see a red sky in the morning. 69． By giving examples. 70． I think they are helpful because they reflect human wisdom. 【导语】本篇是说明文，介绍古人依靠自然现象预测天气的几种方法。 【详解】66．根据原文“Written records show that people began to use all kinds of natural signs to make weather forecasts long ago.”可找到答题信息。 67．根据原文第2段“Watching the sky is a common way to predict weather.”、第3段“Another popular way is to watch animals”、第4段“Besides, listening to the human body can also help predict the weather.”可找到答题信息。 68．根据原文“If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west.”可找到答题信息。 69．根据原文第3段 “If ants move their nests or birds fly close to the ground, it might mean rain is coming…when squirrels collect much more food than usual, a cold winter may arrive soon.”可找到答题信息。作者列举蚂蚁、鸟类、松鼠的事例来进行说明。 70．根据原文第5段“These ways are not always perfectly right, but they show people’s great wisdom.”可找到答题信息。本题为开放性试题，语义通顺即可。 八、作文（满分20分） 71．学校野生动物保护社团正在招募新成员，请你根据以下提示，写一封申请信给社团主席。 提示： 1. 你的性格与爱好（至少两点）； 2. 你对野生动物的了解（比如喜欢什么动物，为什么）； 3. 你想加入社团的原因（至少两点）。 注意： 1. 表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； 2. 必须包括所有要点内容，并适当发挥； 3. 词数在100词左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）； 4. 不得使用真实姓名、校名和地名等。 Dear Chairperson, I am Li Hua, a student in Grade 8.

I’m Maria. Let me tell you about my holiday in Sanya. My parents and I went there in January, and it was the best winter holiday ever! Sanya is in Hainan Province, in the south of China. The weather there was warm—about 25℃ every day. We didn’t need to wear heavy coats like we did in our hometown. Every morning, we went to the beach. I loved walking on the soft sand and watching the sunrise. Sometimes I swam in the sea—the water was cool but nice. One day, we took a boat trip to a small island. The island was very beautiful. We saw many colorful fish when we went snorkeling. My dad took a lot of photos of the sea and the island. In the evening, we ate seafood at a restaurant near the beach. The crabs and shrimps were so delicious! On our last day, we bought some souvenirs for our friends—shell necklaces and coconut candies. When we left Sanya, I felt a little sad. I wanted to stay there longer. If you want a warm winter holiday, Sanya is the perfect place! 26．When did Maria go to Sanya? A．During summer holiday. B．During winter holiday. C．During National Day holiday. D．During May Day holiday. 27．What was the weather like in Sanya? A．Cold. B．Hot. C．Warm. D．Rainy. 28．What did Maria buy as souvenirs? A．Shell necklaces and coconut candies. B．Fish and shrimps. C．Photos and books. D．Coats and hats. B Long ago, when a man first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the man pulled the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “the bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as an 8-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. The baobab tree is called “the Tree of Life”, because it can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab tree can store lots of water. Thirsty people can drink the water in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. The baobab tree leaves are a kind of medicine (药) . People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab tree gets old, its trunk (树干) becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it. 29．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a fact. B．By showing a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 30．Which of the following is the baobab tree in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 31．Which of the following is NOT true? A．The baobab tree has many names. B．Flowers of the baobab tree come out in rainy seasons. C．The leaves of the baobab tree are good medicine. D．The oldest baobab tree is less than 1,000 years old. 32．What’s the best title for the text? A．The Baobab Tree in Africa B．What’s the Baobab Tree like C．A Special Tree—the Baobab Tree D．The Baobab Tree’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit C Five years ago, Sally was the new kid in my class. She was friendly and kind, and we quickly became the best friends. We spent almost every day together, sharing our dreams, worries, and secrets. I trusted her completely, so I told her some of my family life. But one day, everything changed. I walked into school and noticed everyone looking at me strangely. Soon, I realized they were laughing at me. Someone had told them my secrets, and I felt like someone had stabbed me in the back. I couldn’t believe it — I thought it must be Sally. Heartbroken, I decided to change schools. Sally called me many times, but I never answered. I was too hurt and angry to talk to her. For years, I carried the pain of losing our friendship. Five years later, I met Anna, an old classmate, at the bookstore. We started talking about the past, and she told me something surprising: it wasn’t Sally who had shared my secrets. It was Mary, another classmate who loved to talk behind others’ backs. I was shocked. All those years, I had blamed (责怪) the wrong person. I stood there quietly, feeling full of regret (后悔). If I had trusted Sally and called her, if I gave her a chance to explain, there was a chance we would still be friends. I understood that misunderstandings would get worse if we don’t talk about them, but honest conversations can help them. Now, I always remember this lesson. I try to be honest about my feelings and listen to others carefully. When we understand each other, trust grows, and the pain of being apart (分离) goes away. 33．What can we learn about Sally and the writer? A．They are at the same age. B．They were in different classes. C．They spent little time together after school. D．They became close friends soon after they met. 34．What does the underlined phrase “stabbed me in the back” mean? A．She hurt my trust secretly. B．She helped me carefully. C．She made me laugh loudly. D．She hit my back suddenly. 35．What is the right order of these events according to the passage? ①The writer stood there quietly, feeling full of regret. ②The writer met her classmate, Anna at the bookstore. ③The writer noticed everyone looking at her strangely. ④The writer carried the pain of losing her best friend. A． ③→②→④→① B．③→④→②→① C．②→④→③→① D．②→③→④→① 36．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Pain of Not Trusting a Friend B．Misunderstandings in Daily Friendship C．The Importance of Keeping Secrets D．A Lesson in Trust from a Lost Friendship D Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen made history on August 3,2024. She won China’s first gold medal (金牌) in the Olympic women’s singles①. Zheng is from Hubei. When she was young, she fell sick easily. To improve her health, her parents asked her to play sports. Zheng tried table tennis at first, but she disliked it. Later, she turned to tennis and fell in love with the sport soon. Zheng began training seriously at a tennis school in Wuhan at age seven—she trained for three hours every day. Then she went to Beijing and trained for four years there. In January 2024, she played in the women’s singles final (决赛) at the Australian Open② and won second place. “I’m a great fan of Li Na,” Zheng said. “I grew up watching her games.

First, understand the difference between primary and secondary sources. Encyclopaedias are secondary sources—they summarize information from primary sources. 42 For academic work, you should try to find the original research or documents whenever possible. Second, pay attention to when an article was last updated. 43 For example, a science article from 2010 may not include recent discoveries. Always check the date before you use the information. Third, be aware of potential bias. Every source has a perspective, whether it is written by a human or generated by AI. 44 Read articles from multiple viewpoints to get a more balanced understanding. 45 Whether you use a printed encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, or an AI-powered tool, the key is to think critically, verify information, and never stop asking questions. Knowledge is powerful only when it is accurate. A．Knowledge that is outdated can be just as misleading as knowledge that is wrong. B．A single source, no matter how authoritative, can never tell the whole story. C．Remember that no single tool is perfect. D．They are great starting points, but they should not be your only source. E．The way we access knowledge has changed, but the principles of good research remain the same. F．AI-generated articles are always more reliable than human-written ones. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I was much taller than other girls in Grade Eight, 46 I often bent (弯曲) my body at the back of the line.

Written records show that people began to use all kinds of natural signs to make weather forecasts (天气预报) long ago. Even today, some mountain climbers and hikers still partly depend on these signs to know about weather changes. How do they tell what the weather will be like? Watching the sky is a common way to predict weather. Clouds change a lot when a storm is coming, so they are usually good signs. For example, dark clouds mean bad weather, and low white soft clouds show sunny days. If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west. A ring of light around the moon may tell us rain is on the way. Another popular way is to watch animals...animals can feel small weather changes that humans cannot. If ants move their nests or birds fly close to the ground, it might mean rain is coming. Some other animal signs are not well studied, but they are still part of weather lore (气象谚语). People think when squirrels collect much more food than usual, a cold winter may arrive soon. Besides, listening to the human body can also help predict the weather. Before storms, people with old hurts or joint (关节) problems often feel more uncomfortable. These ways are not always perfectly right, but they show people’s great wisdom. People learned these useful skills over a long time to live with nature. 66．How did ancient people predict weather a long time ago? 67．How many ways are mentioned (被提及) to predict weather? 68．When can people see good weather and bad weather appear at the same time? 69．How does the writer show animals can feel small weather changes? 70．What do you think of these old ways to predict weather?
