I am afraid of doing something wrong.” I wanted to help. First, I wrote a long list of steps for making a video call. Grandma looked at the paper and shook her head. “I cannot remember all of this.” I realized that my list was useful to me, but not to her. The next morning, I changed my plan. I made the words on her screen larger. Then I drew three simple pictures on a card. Each picture showed one step. I sat beside her and let her try. When she made a mistake, we started again slowly. After several tries, she called my uncle by herself. Her smile filled the screen. Later, Grandma took out her old chess set. “Now let me teach you something,” she said. I lost the first game. She did not laugh at me. Instead, she showed me one move at a time. Since that visit, we have often played chess during our video calls. The phone has given us a new way to stay close, but patience (耐心) has made that possible. Teaching someone is not simply giving information. It is finding a way that works for that person. 31.

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties (商周时期), governments already had a way to send orders and news. This way was called yizhan. It was most developed in the Tang dynasty and continued to be used for hundreds of years. The yizhan was built to help pass papers far and fast. Riders would stop at these places to change horses or rest. Sometimes, they passed the messages to the next rider. Because of this, news, food, and even money for the emperors could travel quickly across the land. The yizhan was also built in a very ingenious way. These places were about 30 kilometers from each other. That was just right for a horse to go without stopping. Each place usually had houses for horses, rooms to keep things, kitchens, and beds for riders. Bigger places could hold many people and even had offices. Some had tall towers or flags so people could see them easily. Later, the yizhan took on more new roles. When the Mongols (蒙古人) ruled, it also helped foreign officers and official visitors who came for work. This way helped the government, business, and the sharing of culture. Even the famous traveler Marco Polo said it worked very well. Today, our post offices and ways to communicate still learn from this old idea. Keeping people in touch helped ancient China develop — and it still helps us now. 36. When was yizhan most developed? A. In the Shang dynasty. B. In the Zhou dynasty. C. In the Tang dynasty. D. In the Song dynasty. 37. Why did riders stop at yizhan? A. To get food and money. B. To change horses or rest. C. To welcome foreign visitors. D. To give the messages to emperors. 38. What does the underlined word “ingenious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Expensive. C. Modern. D. Well-designed. 39. What new role did yizhan get during the Mongol rule? A. It built taller towers and flags. B. It helped spread Chinese food. C. It taught people how to ride horses. D. It served foreign officers and official visitors. 40. Which is the best title for the text? A. China’s Old “Post Office” B. The Rule of Ancient Emperors C. The Life of Marco Polo in China D. Horses and Riders in Ancient China 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代的驿站制度，包括其起源、功能、设计以及后来的发展演变。 【36题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“It was most developed in the Tang dynasty...”可知，驿站在唐朝时期最为发达。 【37题详解】 根据第二段第二句“Riders would stop at these places to change horses or rest.”可知，骑手在驿站停留是为了换马或者休息。 【38题详解】 根据第三段后文描述，驿站间距约30公里（适合马匹奔跑），且配备马厩、厨房、床铺等设施，大型驿站还有塔楼，说明其建造方式设计非常巧妙合理，“Well-designed”（设计精良的）符合语境。 【39题详解】 根据第四段第二句“When the Mongols ruled, it also helped foreign officers and official visitors...”可知，在蒙古人统治时期，驿站也开始服务于外国官员和官方访客。 【40题详解】 全文围绕中国古代的“驿站”（yizhan）展开，介绍了其起源、功能、设计及演变，并将其与现代邮局类比，因此“China’s Old ‘Post Office’”（中国古老的“邮局”）是最合适的标题。 D For many years, scientists have been looking for better ways to help people who are disabled. Now, technology is bringing us some amazing answers. One of the most exciting developments is the mind-controlled robotic arm. A team of researchers recently showed how a person can control a robotic arm using only their thoughts. The user wears a special cap that can read brain signals (信号). When the user thinks about moving his or her arm, the cap picks up these signals. A computer then translates them into orders, and the robotic arm moves exactly as the user wishes. With practice, users can perform detailed tasks like picking up a cup of water or even writing. This technology is not just for arms. Scientists are working on similar systems for legs to help people who have lost the ability to walk. The hope is that one day, mind-controlled robot suits will allow them to stand up and walk again. Besides, gene editing (基因编辑) is another field that is changing medicine. It works like a “search and replace” tool for DNA. Doctors can use it to find and correct a harmful gene that causes a disease, possibly curing the patient forever. While it sounds like science fiction, it has already been used to treat some rare genetic diseases successfully. These technologies fill us with hope for the future. They show that with continued research, the line between human ability and technology is becoming less clear, offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升). 41. How does the mind-controlled robotic arm work? A. By following the user’s voice orders. B. By learning from repeated practice. C. By watching the user’s muscle movements. D. By reading and translating the user’s brain signals. 42. What is the main purpose of gene editing technology according to the passage? A. To make people smarter. B. To create new types of humans. C. To find and correct disease-causing genes. D. To help people live without food or sleep. 43. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The scientists. B. The mind-controlled robot suits. C. The detailed tasks. D. People who can’t walk. 44. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mind-controlled technology can only be used for arms. B. Gene editing is still just an idea and has never worked. C. These technologies could greatly change many people’s lives. D. The special cap for controlling the robotic arm is very heavy. 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Robots B. New Hope in Medical Technology C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D. The Dangers of Gene Editing 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了两种改变医学领域的科技：思维控制的机械臂和基因编辑技术，展示了科技为残疾人治疗和人类能力提升带来的新希望。 【41题详解】 第二段指出思维控制机械臂的工作原理：“The user wears a special cap that can read …exactly as the user wishes.”，由此可知它通过读取和翻译使用者的脑信号来工作。 【42题详解】 第四段指出基因编辑技术的主要用途：“It works like a ‘search and replace’ tool for DNA… possibly curing the patient forever.”，由此可知其主要目的是找到并修正致病基因。 【43题详解】 第三段指出科学家正在为腿部研发类似系统，帮助失去行走能力的人：“Scientists are working on similar systems … allow them to stand up and walk again.”，由此可知“them”指代的是“不能行走的人”。 【44题详解】 最后一段指出这些技术给我们带来了对未来的希望：“These technologies fill us with hope for the future… offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升).”，由此可推断这些技术可能会极大地改变许多人的生活。 【45题详解】 文章第一段引出主题“Now, technology is … mind-controlled robotic arm.”，随后介绍了思维控制机械臂和基因编辑技术，最后一段总结“These technologies fill us with hope for the future.”，因此“New Hope in Medical Technology”是最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读下面短文，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。 Cities are home not only to humans but also to birds.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了城市化对鸟类生存的影响，以及我们可以通过种植本地树木、将猫养在室内、关闭不必要的灯光等简单行动来帮助城市鸟类，维护自然平衡。 【46题详解】 第一段指出随着城市发展，许多鸟类失去栖息地：“As cities grow, many birds lose their living places.”，E项“Many bird populations become smaller because of this.”描述这一现象带来的后果，符合上下文逻辑。 【47题详解】 第二段指出种植本地树木很有帮助，空格后指出“They offer fruit or insects for birds to eat all year round.”，A项“These local plants fit city environments well.”补充本地植物适应城市环境的优点，符合上下文逻辑。 【48题详解】 第三段指出室外猫每年会捕食大量小鸟，空格后指出“Keeping cats inside greatly lowers the danger for birds.”，D项“This simple rule can protect thousands of small birds.”强调将猫养在室内的作用，符合上下文逻辑。 【49题详解】 第四段指出明亮的城市灯光会迷惑迁徙的鸟类，空格后指出“Lights may make them fly in circles and waste energy.”，C项“Bright lights make migrating birds lose their way.”具体描述灯光对鸟类的影响，符合上下文逻辑。 【50题详解】 第五段指出保护城市鸟类有助于维持自然平衡，B项“Everyone can give birds a safer home in cities.”呼吁大家为鸟类提供更安全的家园，符合上下文逻辑。 V. 情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。 51. A: Thank you for helping me carry books. B: ________________________________________ 【答案】You’re welcome./It is my pleasure. 【解析】 【详解】上句是对他人帮助的感谢。因此，答语应是礼貌的回应，表示“不客气”或“这是我的荣幸”，故You’re welcome.或者It is my pleasure.均符合语境。 52. —How about going swimming this weekend? — ____________________________________ . 【答案】That sounds great/boring/interesting/It’s a good idea/Sounds great 【解析】 【详解】根据“How about going swimming this weekend”可知此处是对对方的建议进行评价，可是积极评价“听起来不错/好主意”；也可是消极评价“听起来很无聊”。故填That sounds great/boring/interesting/It’s a good idea/Sounds great。 53. A: How long have you used the reusable bag? B: ________________________________. 【答案】I have used it for two years. 【解析】 【详解】前文“How long have you used the reusable bag?（你使用这个环保袋多久了？）”是现在完成时，问句用How long提问时长，可知回答要说明持续时间。 54. A: ________________________________? B: I have been to the library. 【答案】 Where have you been 【解析】 【详解】答语回答的是地点，因此问句应用疑问词Where引导。答语使用的是现在完成时，表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或经历。根据时态一致原则，问句也应使用现在完成时。现在完成时的特殊疑问句结构为“疑问词+have/has+主语+过去分词”。主语为you，助动词用have，be的过去分词为been。“Where have you been”符合语境。 55. A: I’m still worried about my English. B: __________________. I can help you. 【答案】No need to worry 【解析】 【详解】根据情景可知，此处要表达对A的安慰，让A不必担心英语；No need to worry是固定表达，意思是“不必担心”，符合对话语境。故填No need to worry。 VI. 看图写话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. important __________________________________________________________________________ 57. teacher, since 2002 __________________________________________________________________________ 58. take place __________________________________________________________________________ 59. used to, narrow __________________________________________________________________________ 60. harmful __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56.

Smoking is harmful to our health. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片以及提示词“important”可知，本句应是表示“垃圾分类很重要。”表示“做某事很重要”用句型It’s important to do sth；“垃圾分类”用sort waste。可表达为：It’s important to sort waste. 【57题详解】 根据图片以及提示词“teacher, since 2002”可知，本句应是表示“自2002年以来，他一直是一名教师。”表示“自2002年以来”用since 2002，时间状语，句子用现在完成时。可表达为：He has been a teacher since 2002. 【58题详解】 根据图片以及提示词“take place”可知，本句应是表示“泉州发生了巨大的变化。”表示“发生”用take place，时态为现在完成时。可表达为：Great changes have taken place in Quanzhou. 【59题详解】 根据图片以及提示词“used to, narrow”可知，本句应是表示“这条路以前很窄。”表示“以前很窄”用used to be narrow。可表达为：The road used to be narrow. 【60题详解】 根据图片以及提示词“harmful”可知，本句应是表示“吸烟对我们的健康有害。”表示“对……有害。”用be harmful to。可表达为：Smoking is harmful to our health.

On November 1, the government ended its tax (税) on plastic bags, which ____61____ (be) about $0.26 per bag, though some stores charged (收费) even higher prices. The government said that the use of plastic bags has ____62____ (drop) greatly since the tax was introduced in 2020, ____63____ it believes the tax is no longer necessary. However, some worry that the use of plastic bags might go up again now that they are free, which could lead to more trash and environmental ____64____ (problem). In 2019, before shoppers had to pay ____65____ their bags, people in Sweden used 74 plastic bags per person every year. In 2023, they used 17 per person every year, which is much ____66____ (low) than the European Union (欧盟) goal of 40 per person every year. But many people, including Sweden's Environmental Protection Agency, think the tax should have been kept for longer. It is ____67____ (real) hoped that people will keep ____68____ (use) their own bags when shopping to help the environment. The agency said: "We don't know what will happen now." It added that it hoped stores and markets would still encourage people to bring ____69____ (they) own bags. The government said earlier that the tax had "certain bad effects (影响)", such as ____70____ increase in the use of paper bags, and an increased need to buy more plastic bags for trash cans at home. 【答案】61. was 62. dropped 63. so##and 64. problems 65. for 66. lower 67. really 68. using 69. their 70. an 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍瑞典取消塑料袋税这一政策，对比塑料袋税实施前后人均塑料袋使用量的变化，同时阐述该政策带来的不同看法以及塑料袋税存在的一些弊端。 【61题详解】 句意：11月1日，政府取消了塑料袋税，这项税费约为每个0.26 美元，尽管有些商店收费更高。which引导定语从句，指代先行词tax，表示单数，句子时态为一般过去时，be动词用was。 【62题详解】 句意：政府表示，自2020年征收该税费以来，塑料袋的使用量已经大幅下降，所以政府认为这项税费不再有必要。根据“ since the tax was introduced in 2020”可知，时态为现在完成时，结构为have/has+过去分词。has已给出，drop的过去分词为dropped。 【63题详解】 句意：政府表示，自2020年征收该税费以来，塑料袋的使用量已经大幅下降，所以政府认为这项税费不再有必要。前半句 “塑料袋使用量大幅下降”，后半句 “政府认为这项税费不再有必要”，前后句之间可看作因果关系，填so；或者看作并列关系，用连词and。 【64题详解】 句意：然而有些人担心，塑料袋免费之后使用量可能再次上升，这会产生更多垃圾，带来更多环境问题。problem是可数名词，其前有more修饰，所以此处要用problem的复数形式problems。 【65题详解】 句意：在2019 年，在购物者需要为塑料袋付费之前，瑞典人均每年使用74个塑料袋。固定搭配：pay for意为“为……付钱”。 【66题详解】 句意：在2023 年，人均每年使用17个塑料袋，远低于欧盟设定的人均每年40个的目标。than是比较级标志；low的比较级形式为lower。 【67题详解】 句意：大家真心希望人们购物时继续自带袋子，保护环境。修饰动词hoped，要用副词；real的副词形式为really。 【68题详解】 句意：大家真心希望人们购物时继续自带袋子，保护环境。固定搭配：keep doing sth.意为“持续做某事”，所以此处填using。 【69题详解】 句意：它补充说，希望商店和市场仍然鼓励人们自带袋子。形容词性物主代词修饰名词bags；they的形容词性物主代词为their。 【70题详解】 句意：政府早前称这项税费存在 “一些负面影响”，例如纸袋使用量增加，以及人们需要购买更多塑料袋用于家里垃圾桶。increase此处作名词，意为 “增长”，且以元音音素开头的单词，所以填冠词an。 VIII. 书面表达（满分15分） 71. 近几年来，随着国家的快速发展，我们居住的城市发生了很大变化，人们的生活方式也相应地改变。请根据以下提示，以“Changes of My City”为题，写一篇英语作文，讲述你所在城市的变化并写出你对城市发展产生问题的看法和对未来的期望。 In the past Now Transportation buses, bikes e-bikes, cars, subway Life services Leisure activity shop in markets, watch TV at home, play cards online shopping, smart phones, travel abroad Living environment small houses, dirty rivers, few trees modern apartments, parks 要求： 1) 内容完整，意思连贯语句通顺，书写规范； 2) 字数80词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Changes of My City In recent years, with the rapid development of our country, great changes have taken place in the city we live in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Changes of My City In recent years, with the rapid development of our country, great changes have taken place in the city we live in.

The story of Wang Zizhong, an elderly man from Ciyu Village in Shandong Province, offers a powerful ____16____. Now 79 years old, Wang Zizhong has spent the last 42 years of his life planting trees and protecting forests with his family. His ____17____ began in 1983, when serious soil erosion (水土流失) was influencing people's lives around his village.

With no roads for trucks or cars, Wang had to carry tree seedlings (树苗) and water on his shoulders and ____21____ for kilometers up and down the mountains.

A. a poster B. a message C. a travel guide D. an e-mail B When I visited my grandmother during the holiday, she was sitting beside a new smartphone. “Your uncle gave it to me,” she said. “But the buttons are so small. I am afraid of doing something wrong.” I wanted to help. First, I wrote a long list of steps for making a video call. Grandma looked at the paper and shook her head. “I cannot remember all of this.” I realized that my list was useful to me, but not to her. The next morning, I changed my plan. I made the words on her screen larger. Then I drew three simple pictures on a card. Each picture showed one step. I sat beside her and let her try. When she made a mistake, we started again slowly. After several tries, she called my uncle by herself. Her smile filled the screen. Later, Grandma took out her old chess set. “Now let me teach you something,” she said. I lost the first game. She did not laugh at me. Instead, she showed me one move at a time. Since that visit, we have often played chess during our video calls. The phone has given us a new way to stay close, but patience (耐心) has made that possible. Teaching someone is not simply giving information. It is finding a way that works for that person. 31. Why was Grandma worried at first? A. She had forgotten her son’s name. B. She could not find her new phone. C. She wanted to buy a larger chess set. D. She was afraid of using the phone incorrectly. 32. Why did the writer change the teaching plan? A. The long list was difficult for Grandma to remember. B. The phone could no longer make video calls. C. Grandma wanted to learn a different language. D. The writer had lost the paper list. 33. What did the writer do in the new plan? A. Used pictures and let Grandma practice. B. Asked Grandma to read a longer list. C. Bought Grandma another new smartphone. D. Made all the calls instead of Grandma. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Grandma is a patient teacher. B. Grandma refused to use the new phone finally. C. The uncle never cared about Grandma’s life. D. Playing chess online is easier than making calls. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The writer spent a wonderful holiday with Grandma. B. New smartphones bring great changes to old people’s life. C. Playing chess is a good way to communicate with family. D. We should teach others knowledge with proper ways and patience. C Most people think fast delivery (快递) is new, but it’s actually very old. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties (商周时期), governments already had a way to send orders and news. This way was called yizhan. It was most developed in the Tang dynasty and continued to be used for hundreds of years. The yizhan was built to help pass papers far and fast. Riders would stop at these places to change horses or rest. Sometimes, they passed the messages to the next rider. Because of this, news, food, and even money for the emperors could travel quickly across the land. The yizhan was also built in a very ingenious way. These places were about 30 kilometers from each other. That was just right for a horse to go without stopping. Each place usually had houses for horses, rooms to keep things, kitchens, and beds for riders. Bigger places could hold many people and even had offices. Some had tall towers or flags so people could see them easily. Later, the yizhan took on more new roles. When the Mongols (蒙古人) ruled, it also helped foreign officers and official visitors who came for work. This way helped the government, business, and the sharing of culture. Even the famous traveler Marco Polo said it worked very well. Today, our post offices and ways to communicate still learn from this old idea. Keeping people in touch helped ancient China develop — and it still helps us now. 36. When was yizhan most developed? A. In the Shang dynasty. B. In the Zhou dynasty. C. In the Tang dynasty. D. In the Song dynasty. 37. Why did riders stop at yizhan? A. To get food and money. B. To change horses or rest. C. To welcome foreign visitors. D. To give the messages to emperors. 38. What does the underlined word “ingenious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Expensive. C. Modern. D. Well-designed. 39. What new role did yizhan get during the Mongol rule? A. It built taller towers and flags. B. It helped spread Chinese food. C. It taught people how to ride horses. D. It served foreign officers and official visitors. 40. Which is the best title for the text? A. China’s Old “Post Office” B. The Rule of Ancient Emperors C. The Life of Marco Polo in China D. Horses and Riders in Ancient China D For many years, scientists have been looking for better ways to help people who are disabled. Now, technology is bringing us some amazing answers. One of the most exciting developments is the mind-controlled robotic arm. A team of researchers recently showed how a person can control a robotic arm using only their thoughts. The user wears a special cap that can read brain signals (信号). When the user thinks about moving his or her arm, the cap picks up these signals. A computer then translates them into orders, and the robotic arm moves exactly as the user wishes. With practice, users can perform detailed tasks like picking up a cup of water or even writing. This technology is not just for arms. Scientists are working on similar systems for legs to help people who have lost the ability to walk. The hope is that one day, mind-controlled robot suits will allow them to stand up and walk again. Besides, gene editing (基因编辑) is another field that is changing medicine. It works like a “search and replace” tool for DNA. Doctors can use it to find and correct a harmful gene that causes a disease, possibly curing the patient forever. While it sounds like science fiction, it has already been used to treat some rare genetic diseases successfully. These technologies fill us with hope for the future. They show that with continued research, the line between human ability and technology is becoming less clear, offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升). 41. How does the mind-controlled robotic arm work? A. By following the user’s voice orders. B. By learning from repeated practice. C. By watching the user’s muscle movements. D. By reading and translating the user’s brain signals. 42. What is the main purpose of gene editing technology according to the passage? A. To make people smarter. B. To create new types of humans. C. To find and correct disease-causing genes. D. To help people live without food or sleep. 43. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The scientists. B. The mind-controlled robot suits. C. The detailed tasks. D. People who can’t walk. 44. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mind-controlled technology can only be used for arms. B. Gene editing is still just an idea and has never worked. C. These technologies could greatly change many people’s lives. D. The special cap for controlling the robotic arm is very heavy. 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Robots B. New Hope in Medical Technology C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D. The Dangers of Gene Editing 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读下面短文，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。 Cities are home not only to humans but also to birds.
