(每小题1分,满分15分)
1. —Excuse me, is there ________ underground parking lot nearby?
—Sorry, I’m new here.
A. a B. an C. the
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——打扰一下,这附近是否有一个地下停车场?——抱歉,我是新来的。
考查冠词用法。a一个,用于辅音音素开头;an一个,用于元音音素开头;the这个,表特指。 根据“is there... underground parking lot nearby?”可知,空处指“一个地下停车场”,需不定冠词。underground是以元音音素开头的单词,需冠词an。故选B。
2. The grand firework show between Xiamen and Kinmen was held ________ the first day of Lunar New Year to celebrate the festival.
A. at B. in C. on
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:厦金两岸的盛大烟花秀在农历新年的第一天举办,以庆祝这个节日。
at通常用于具体的时刻前;in用于年、月、季节、泛指的上午/下午/晚上等时间段前;on用于具体的某一天或者有修饰词限定的早中晚前。题干中“the first day of Lunar New Year”是具体的某一天,应填on。
3. —Have you decided what to do next?
—No, we have different opinions. We need to have a ________ to make a decision.
A. discussion B. suggestion C. condition
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:—— 你们已经决定接下来要做什么了吗?—— 还没有,我们意见不同。我们需要讨论一下再做决定。
discussion讨论;suggestion建议;condition条件。根据前文“we have different opinions”可知,大家意见不一致,需要进行讨论来做出决定,应填discussion。
4. Teachers sometimes work as a guide to help you out and ________ you in the right direction.
A. invite B. lead C. agree
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师们有时会充当引导者的角色,帮你摆脱困境,并且带领你朝着正确的方向前行。
invite邀请;lead引领,引导;agree同意。根据“Teachers sometimes work as a guide…”可知,前文提到老师的角色是guide“指引者”;常用lead搭配“…in the right direction”表示“朝正确方向引领”,和前文提到的“老师充当指引者帮你摆脱困境”的语境相匹配,应填lead。
5. —Peter isn’t ________ enough to express his own opinions in front of others.
—I think he should believe in himself and be more confident.
A. brave B. friendly C. energetic
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——彼得不够勇敢,不敢在别人面前表达自己的观点。——我认为他应该相信自己,变得更加自信。
brave勇敢的;friendly友好的;energetic精力充沛的;由答句“相信自己、更自信”可知,彼得缺少胆量,无法当众表达观点,brave符合语境,friendly和energetic代入句子语义不通。
6. All my classmates wonder ________ there will be an English test next week.
A. that B. whether C. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我所有的同学都想知道下周是否会有英语考试。
that引导宾语从句,无实义(用于陈述事实);whether是否(引导宾语从句,表示不确定);what什么(询问事物)。根据题干“wonder”表示“想知道”,从句应表达不确定的“是否”,应填whether。
7. The athletes’ spirit in the 2026 Winter Olympics moved us ________ and we decided to learn from them.
A. carefully B. hardly C. greatly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:2026 年冬奥会运动员们的精神深深打动了我们,我们决定向他们学习。
carefully仔细地;hardly几乎不;greatly极大地。greatly用来修饰动词moved,表示“深深地、极大地打动”,符合描述运动员精神的语境。
8. With the ________ of many volunteers, the 9.8 China International Fair for Investment and Trade (九八洽谈会) in Xiamen went well this year.
A. support B. suggest C. spirit
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在众多志愿者的支持下,今年厦门 9・8 投洽会顺利举办。
support支持;suggest建议(动词);spirit精神。空格前面有the,此处需要填入名词。with the support of为固定短语,表示在……的支持下。代入spirit语义不符合句子语境;suggest是动词,语法不满足;support符合句意。
9. —The Internet has made communication much more ________.
—I agree. For example, I can communicate with my friends on WeChat any time.
A. popular B. necessary C. convenient
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——互联网使交流变得更加方便。——我同意。例如,我可以随时在微信上和我的朋友交流。
考查形容词辨析。popular流行的;necessary必要的;convenient方便的。根据“For example, I can communicate with my friends on WeChat any time.”可知,随时可以在微信上和朋友交流,说明互联网让交流更方便,所以应该用convenient。故选C。
10. —Can you ________ the time of the next train?
—OK. There is one in half an hour.
A. look after B. look forward to C. look up
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能查一下下一班火车的时间吗?——好的。半小时后有一班。
考查动词短语辨析。look after照顾;look forward to期待;look up查阅。根据“There is one in half an hour.”可知,此处是在询问能否查阅下一班火车的时间,所以look up符合语境。故选C。
11. Modern technology has ________ great changes in people’s daily lives.
A. looked after B. dealt with C. brought about
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:现代科技给人们的日常生活带来了巨大的变化。
looked after照顾;dealt with处理;brought about导致,带来。根据句意,现代科技带来巨大变化,brought about符合语境。
12. The use of AI ________ in many fields like education in the past few years.
A. has grown B. grew C. is growing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在过去的几年里,人工智能的使用在教育等许多领域已经增长。
根据时间状语“in the past few years”可知,句子应用现在完成时,表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或持续到现在。应填has grown。
13. To prevent the ________ of the virus, you’d better wash your hands as soon as you arrive at home.
A. connection B. spread C. success
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了防止病毒的传播,你最好一到家就洗手。
connection连接;spread传播、蔓延;success成功。空处作prevent的宾语,且与the virus构成搭配,prevent the spread of the virus意为“防止病毒的传播”,spread在此作名词,意为“传播、蔓延”。应填spread。
14. —Grandma sent me a video of her square dance show. Who taught her to use WeChat?
—Nobody. She learned it all by ________.
A. herself B. himself C. yourself
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——奶奶给我发了一段她广场舞表演的视频。谁教她使用微信的? ——没人。她完全是自学的。
herself她自己;himself他自己;yourself你自己。根据“Nobody. She learned it all by…”可知,此处是表达“她是自学的”,learn…by oneself意为“自学……”,根据主语she“她”可知,此处用herself“她自己”。
15. —I think schools should pay more attention to P. E.
—________. People won’t succeed without a healthy body.
A. I disagree B. I can’t agree more C. I’m afraid not
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:—— 我认为学校应该更加重视体育课。—— 我完全同意。没有健康的身体,人们就不会成功。
I disagree不同意;I can’t agree more完全同意;I’m afraid not恐怕不是。根据答句“People won’t succeed without a healthy body.”可知,说话人赞同对方观点,应填I can’t agree more。

A father saw his 11-year-old son crying. He asked him, “What’s the matter, son?” The young boy replied, “My rich classmates called me ‘the son of a gardener’. They said that my father lives on the money he earns from watering and feeding plants.”
The father stopped for a moment and then said, “Let’s carry out an experiment (实验).” He held his son’s hand and walked him to the garden. Then he took out two flower seeds and said, “We will plant a flower separately. I’ll care for one and water it with clean water while you’ll care for the other and water yours with dirty water. We shall see the results in a few weeks.”
As the boy joined his father in planting the flowers, it took them some days to finally germinate (使发芽) the flower seeds. “Look at the two flowers. What can you see?” the father said. The boy said, “My flower looks better and healthier than yours. How is that possible when your water is cleaner?” The father smiled, “That’s because the dirty water doesn’t stop a plant from growing but rather serves as organic fertilizer (有机肥料) to help it grow. You see, there are some people who put you down in life and mock (嘲笑) your dreams. Always remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t let the unkind words upset you. Instead, let them encourage you to be a better person, so you will be like the plant and will grow well even in the dirt.”

C
Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.
East or West
When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at that time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Up or down
We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen.
Left or right
Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” meant something different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean.
36. Why does the writer mention shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo at the beginning?
A. To share a story. B. To solve a mystery. C. To give an example. D. To start the topic.
37. People say maidongxi instead of mainanbei because in the Tang Dynasty ________.
A. there were only two markets in ancient Chang’an
B. dongxi was easier to say than nanbei in the Tang Dynasty
C. people in Chang’an usually went to the East Market first and then the West Market
D. the East Market and West Market were more popular than the South Market and North Market
38. Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage?
gate ; bathroom ; kitchen
A. B.
C. D.
39. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Left-handed people feel comfortable using chopsticks with their left hand.
B. In India and Nepal, the left hand is used for shaking hands.
C. The right hand is generally used for a handshake in most cultures.
D. In ancient China, “left” had the same meaning as it does today.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Differences between left and right B. History of ancient Chinese markets
C. Interesting directions in Chinese words D. Chinese culture in old days
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍汉语词汇里蕴含的方位文化,分别从东西、上下、左右三个角度讲解相关词语背后的历史与文化。
【36题详解】
根据文章第一段“Have you ever wondered why… there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.”开篇设问,引出汉语词语中包含方位、历史文化的主题,可知作者举例子是为了开启本文话题。
【37题详解】
根据文中第2段第4句“When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market.”可知,在唐朝,长安设有东市和西市,人们通常先去东市,再去西市,因此购物被描述为maidongxi。
【38题详解】
根据文中第3段第4句“The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.”可知,古代房屋大门朝南,浴室在房屋的东北方位,厨房在房屋的东南方位。对比四幅图片,B选项符合该布局。
【39题详解】
根据文中第4段第6句“In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake.”可知,在大多数文化中,人们一般用右手握手。
【40题详解】
根据文中第1段第2句“Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.”,通读全文可知整篇文章围绕汉语词语中有趣的方位文化展开。

Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long, cold, rainy days. Let’s discover the science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are more likely to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s lives are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”
41. Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text?
A. stay in B. care about C. dream of D. depend on
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. What can help people to keep in good spirits? B. How light influences people through chemicals?
C. Why melatonin can help people relax? D. Which chemical is thought to be more important
43. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the summer.
B. People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine.
C. The light in a house is usually stronger than that outside on a sunny day.
D. People’s bodies cannot produce something called Vitamin D from sunlight.
44. Jack is a person with SAD. How could he solve his problem according to the text?
A. By staying indoors a lot. B. By taking in more fresh air.
C. By doing some exercise. D. By using man-made lights.
45. Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph?
A. To encourage readers to learn more about sunlight.
B. To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time.
C. To expect readers to realize the importance of Vitamin.
D. To invite readers to walk into nature to enjoy the sunlight.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了挑选植物和养护植物的方法,指导大家如何选合适的植物并做好浇水、施肥等照料工作。
【46题详解】
前文“In some ways, plants are like little green pets. They need food, water, sunlight and care. Which plants might you enjoy growing and which might be happy in your home or garden?”提到植物就像绿色小宠物,需要食物、水、阳光和照料,并提出两个问题:你适合种哪种植物,哪些适合家里或花园。后文分别介绍了挑选和养护指南,选项D“这份简单指南能帮你做出好的选择。”起到承上启下作用。
【47题详解】
前文“There are a lot of plants for you to choose, such as houseplants, flowers or succulents (多肉植物), even some fruits or vegetables.”提到有很多种类植物可以选,室内植物、花卉、多肉,甚至果蔬。后文“Just do some research first to make sure that the plant is safe.”提到要先做调查确保植物是安全的,可知本句应继续补充关于选择植物的内容,选项E“你也可以在市场上探索一些奇怪的植物。”符合语境,衔接后文的一定要确认植物安全。
【48题详解】
本段“When choosing a plant, give it a home where it grows well. For example, you can choose a pot with holes to help keep the plant from becoming waterlogged (浸满水的). Some plants like sunlight, while others may not. Don’t forget to put your plant in a proper place.”提到挑选植物时,要给它一个适合生长的地方,举例带孔花盆,摆放位置,光照要求。可知本段全部围绕给植物安置合适的生长环境展开,因此,选项A“给你的植物宠物一个家。”作为本段小标题,概括整段内容,符合语境。
【49题详解】
前文“Do you know why plants don’t survive in your home? Two main reasons—too much water or too little water.”提到植物养不活的两个主要原因:水太多或者水太少。 后文“However, a plant might be watered too much if the soil is too wet and the leaves are yellow or falling off.”用However“然而”转折,介绍如果土壤太湿、叶子发黄脱落,说明浇水过多。 因此,本句应和需要浇水有关,选项C“如果土壤非常干燥,植物可能需要水。”符合语境,先介绍土壤干的时候植物需要浇水,however转折引出浇水过多的情况。
【50题详解】
本段小标题“No hungry plants”可知本段主要围绕不要让植物挨饿展开,也就是说要给植物施肥,后文“Feed them in time, or they may suffer from slow growth or diseases. But before doing that, get to know what to feed and how to feed them. If necessary, ask an adult for help.”说明及时给植物施肥,否则生长缓慢或生病。选项B“大多数植物不时需要食物。”承接前文的不要让植物挨饿,并引出后文关于施肥的内容,符合语境。

52. A: ________________________________________________ have taken place around you?

A father saw his 11-year-old son crying. He asked him, “What’s the matter, son?” The young boy replied, “My rich classmates called me ‘the son of a gardener’. They said that my father lives on the money he earns from watering and feeding plants.”
The father stopped for a moment and then said, “Let’s carry out an experiment (实验).” He held his son’s hand and walked him to the garden. Then he took out two flower seeds and said, “We will plant a flower separately. I’ll care for one and water it with clean water while you’ll care for the other and water yours with dirty water. We shall see the results in a few weeks.”
As the boy joined his father in planting the flowers, it took them some days to finally germinate (使发芽) the flower seeds. “Look at the two flowers. What can you see?” the father said. The boy said, “My flower looks better and healthier than yours. How is that possible when your water is cleaner?” The father smiled, “That’s because the dirty water doesn’t stop a plant from growing but rather serves as organic fertilizer (有机肥料) to help it grow. You see, there are some people who put you down in life and mock (嘲笑) your dreams. Always remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t let the unkind words upset you. Instead, let them encourage you to be a better person, so you will be like the plant and will grow well even in the dirt.”

Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.
East or West
When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at that time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Up or down
We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen.
Left or right
Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” meant something different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean.

Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long, cold, rainy days. Let’s discover the science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are more likely to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s lives are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”
41. Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text?
A. stay in B. care about C. dream of D. depend on
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. What can help people to keep in good spirits? B. How light influences people through chemicals?
C. Why melatonin can help people relax? D. Which chemical is thought to be more important
43. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the summer.
B. People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine.
C. The light in a house is usually stronger than that outside on a sunny day.
D. People’s bodies cannot produce something called Vitamin D from sunlight.
44. Jack is a person with SAD. How could he solve his problem according to the text?
A. By staying indoors a lot. B. By taking in more fresh air.
C. By doing some exercise. D. By using man-made lights.
45. Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph?
A. To encourage readers to learn more about sunlight.
B. To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time.
C. To expect readers to realize the importance of Vitamin.
D. To invite readers to walk into nature to enjoy the sunlight.
