For 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 玛丽和志愿者一起工作多久了？—— 长达三个月。 At在；Since自从；For长达。结合语句“How long has Mary worked with the volunteers? …three months.”可知，how long用于对时间段提问，for后接一段时间，用来回答how long的问句；since后接时间点，at用于具体时刻，For符合句子语境。 2. —What have you found so far after reading the article several times? —I drew a ________ that the writer cared more about social problems than historical facts. A. picture B. decision C. conclusion 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——把这篇文章读了好几遍之后，你目前有什么发现？ ——我得出了一个结论：比起历史事实，这位作者更关注社会问题。 picture图片；decision决定；conclusion结论。根据“the writer cared more about social problems than historical facts”可知，此处是我得出的结论，选项C符合语境。 3. To make less waste, we should use ________ plastic bags than before. A. fewer B. fewest C. less 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了减少垃圾，我们应该比以前使用更少的塑料袋。 fewer更少的；fewest最少的；less更少的。 fewer修饰可数名词复数，fewest是最高级，less修饰不可数名词。句中出现than表示比较，要用比较级；plastic bags是可数名词复数，因此应填fewer。 4. Please ________ the TV when nobody is watching it. A. turn on B. turn off C. turn up 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：请在没有人看电视的时候把电视关掉。 turn on打开；turn off关闭；turn up调大。根据句意可知，没人看的情况下，对应的合理动作是“关闭”电视机，应填turn off。 5.

A. both B. either C. neither 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们可以通过在每张纸的两面书写来节约纸张。 both两者都；either二者选一；neither二者皆不。根据“save paper”可知，要节约用纸，就得物尽其用，因此纸张得写双面，用both表示。 6. We should do something to ________ the rivers ________ being polluted. A. protect; from B. stop; to C. keep; in 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应当采取措施保护河流免受污染。 protect…from…意为“保护……免受……”；stop…to…搭配错误，stop的常用搭配是stop…from doing；keep…in意为“使……留在里面”，根据do something to...the rivers...being polluted可知，表示“保护河流免受污染”，应填protect ; from。 7.

A. revisit B. rebuild C. rethink 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：暴风雨过后，村民们决定再次建造这座桥。他们将要重建它。 revisit重访，再参观；rebuild重建；rethink重新考虑。根据“build the bridge again（再次建造桥梁）”可知这里是重建，应填rebuild。 8. —Has your brother joined the club? —Yes. He ________ a member since May. A. has joined B. joined C. has been 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你弟弟加入俱乐部了吗？—— 是的。自五月起他就一直是会员。 答句中时间标志词“since May”是现在完成时的标志，且谓语动词需要使用延续性动词。 join（加入）是短暂性动词，不能与since连用，要转换为延续性表达be a member（成为成员）。主语He是第三人称单数，现在完成时用has been。因此选has been。 9. —The film Ne Zha 2 is really amazing. Have you ________ watched it? —Not ________. But I plan to watch it at the cinema this Saturday evening. A. already; ever B. ever; already C. ever; yet 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——电影《哪吒 2》真的很棒。你曾经看过它吗？——还没有。但是我计划这周六晚上去电影院看。 already“已经”，一般用于肯定句；ever“曾经”，常用于现在完成时的疑问句；yet“还，仍然”，用于否定句或疑问句句末。第一空，句子为一般疑问句，应用ever；第二空，“Not”后用yet表示“还没有”。应填ever；yet。 10. The new museum for modern Chinese scientists ________ to the public since last spring. A. has been opened B. was open C. has been open 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座新的中国现代科学家博物馆自去年春天起就向公众开放了。 根据“since last spring”可知，句子表示从去年春天一直延续到现在，应用现在完成时。open作形容词时，表示“开放的”状态，be open表示“开放”，是延续性状态，可以和since连用；has been opened是被动语态，表示“被打开”，是瞬间动作，不能和since连用；was open是一般过去时，不能与since连用。故选has been open。 11. My aunt isn’t here. She ________ Beijing on business. She will be back in three days. A. has been in B. has gone to C. has been to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我姑姑不在这里，她去了北京出差，三天后回来。 has been in待在；has gone to去了；has been to去过。“isn’t here”和“will be back in three days”说明人已出发、尚未返回，只能用has gone to。 12.

A. why Grandpa loves city walks B. when Grandpa takes a city walk C. who Grandpa takes a city walk with 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——李华，你知道爷爷为什么喜欢城市漫步吗？——因为他能看到我们家乡的变化。 Why Grandpa loves city walks爷爷为什么喜欢城市漫步；When Grandpa takes a city walk爷爷什么时候去城市漫步；Who Grandpa takes a city walk with爷爷和谁一起城市漫步。根据答语“Because he can see the changes in our home town.”可知，答语用Because回答原因，说明问句询问的是原因。 Ⅲ、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 Temple Grandin, a famous animal behavior scientist who has autism (自闭症), is the author of more than 15 books.

Although we shared the same lift every day, none of us knew each other’s names. We only looked at the floor numbers. We were neighbors behind locked doors, but almost strangers. Last winter, a wooden box in the lobby changed that. An old teacher, Mrs. Smith, put the box there with a sign: “Take what you need, leave what you can.” On the first day, there were three bottles of honey inside. I thought it was only a small act of kindness and would not last long. But the “Gift Box” soon became a bridge that connected everyone in the building. The honey disappeared and was replaced by children’s books and a bag of apples. I once left an old umbrella there, and two days later, I found a note from Apartment 4 B, “Thank you. My son and I used it on the way home from school. We got home dry.” For the first time, 4 B was not just a number, but a real person. One Sunday night, a water pipe in my room broke. Feeling helpless, I ran down and left a message in the box. Minutes later, Mr. Lee from the fifth floor came with his tools. While fixing the pipe, he told me he had lived alone since his children moved away. “I used to think no one here needed me,” he said. “We thought we were just exchanging things, but we are actually sharing the stories of our lives,” he added. The box is larger now, and it has taught us that a community is not just made of bricks and stones, but of the love that we share when we help each other. Now, when we meet in the lift, we look at each other and smile. 31. Why were the neighbors almost strangers at first? A. Because they only shared the same life. B. Because they often stayed behind doors. C. Because they hardly ever communicated. D. Because they seldom met in the apartment. 32. What does the writer mean by saying the box became a bridge? A. It held children’s books. B. It kept the building quiet. C. It brought neighbors closer. D. It offered people convenience. 33. Why does the writer mention the broken water pipe? A. To describe the writer’s trouble. B. To show help among the neighbors. C. To explain the message in the box. D. To introduce Mr. Lee’s fixing skills. 34. What did the box finally bring to the neighbors? A. A habit of sharing stories. B. A lesson to build friendship. C. Honesty in the community. D. Love among the neighbors. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Quiet Apartment Building B. The Magic Gift Box C. Help from Neighbors D. True Stories in the Lobby 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述公寓楼里一位老教师放置的“礼物箱”如何拉近邻里距离，让原本互不认识的邻居从陌生人变成互相帮助、充满温情的社区。 【31题详解】 第一段“Although we shared the same lift every day, none of us knew each other’s names...We were neighbors behind locked doors, but almost strangers”直接表明邻居们互不认识名字、几乎从不交流。 【32题详解】 第三段“The ‘Gift Box’ soon became a bridge that connected everyone in the building”直接说明礼物箱像桥梁一样把所有人连接起来，使邻居们关系更亲近。 【33题详解】 第四段“One Sunday night, a water pipe in my room broke... Minutes later, Mr. Lee from the fifth floor came with his tools. While fixing the pipe”表明水管爆裂时邻居Mr. Lee主动赶来帮忙修理，体现邻里互助。 【34题详解】 最后一段“a community is not just made of bricks and stones, but of the love that we share when we help each other”说明礼物箱最终带给邻居们的是互帮互助中分享的爱。 【35题详解】 全文围绕“礼物箱”改变邻里关系展开，结尾升华到“爱的分享”主题，以“The Magic Gift Box”作标题最贴切。 C You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said. Numbers are beautiful! There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) are beautiful! “Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. Tangent curve is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”. Formulas (公式) are beautiful! There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern said, Math is fun! 36. What does the writer think about math? A. He thinks math is difficult and boring. B. He thinks math is beautiful and fun. C. He thinks math is only useful for scientists. D. He thinks math is not important. 37. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________. A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies C. it looks like a human body D. it might bring people a sense of beauty 38. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math. 39. What does a “tangent curve” look like? A. B. C. D. 40. What amazing formula is mentioned in the passage about right-angled triangles? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者提出数学不枯燥，数学是美丽且有趣的观点，文章分别从数字之美、曲线之美、公式之美三个方面举例，证明数学藏着美感。 【36题详解】 根据原文第一段“Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said.”，说明作者完全赞同李星教授的观点，认为数学美丽又有趣。 【37题详解】 根据“Numbers are beautiful!”下面的“The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”，表明黄金分割比存在于大自然、音乐、绘画中，它会带来美感。 【38题详解】 本段小标题“Numbers are beautiful!”，举李白诗句的例子，用诗句里的数字来支撑“数字拥有美感”这一观点，是举例论证，支持作者观点。 【39题详解】 根据“Curves (曲线) are beautiful!”下面的“Tangent curve is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, ‘dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high’”，表明正切曲线就像一道瀑布，瀑布是一泻而下，对应正切函数图像。 【40题详解】 根据“Formulas (公式) are beautiful!”下面的“In a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.”，这是勾股定理，即在直角三角形中，最长边的平方等于另外两条边的平方之和，B项符合。 D Heat Domes: Invisible Traps of Extreme Heat Have you ever wondered why some areas experience unusually high temperatures for several days or even weeks? One possible reason is a weather phenomenon called a heat dome. A heat dome occurs when a large area of high pressure remains over a region for an extended period of time. Like an invisible cover above the Earth, it prevents hot air from escaping and causes temperatures near the ground to rise quickly. The Effects of a Heat Dome A heat dome can bring scorching heat and extremely dry conditions. During such events, temperatures may climb above 40℃,creating dangerous conditions for people, animals, and plants. Unlike ordinary hot days, heat domes often continue through the night. As a result, the human body has less time to recover from the heat, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. Why Are Heat Domes Becoming More Common? Scientists suggest that climate change may be one important factor behind the increasing frequency of heat domes. Rising global temperatures can influence ocean conditions and atmospheric patterns, making extreme weather events more likely to occur. However, researchers are still studying the relationship between climate change and heat domes. Protecting Ourselves from Extreme Heat When a heat dome arrives, people should take precautions to protect their health. Drinking enough water, staying indoors during the hottest parts of the day, and avoiding intense physical activities are effective ways to reduce the danger. In some cases, visiting air-conditioned public places can also help people stay safe. Heat domes remind us that weather systems can have a powerful impact on our daily lives. By learning about these events, we can better prepare for future challenges and protect both ourselves and the environment. 41. Why does the writer compare a heat dome to an “invisible cover”? A. Because it blocks sunlight completely. B. Because it keeps hot air from moving away. C. Because it creates clouds above the Earth. D. Because it prevents rain from falling. 42. What does the underlined word “phenomenon” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. A natural event that can be observed. B. A machine used to measure weather. C. A problem caused only by humans. D. A change that happens every day. 43. According to the passage, why are heat domes dangerous at night? A. Because temperatures suddenly drop and cause illness. B. Because people usually exercise outdoors at night. C. Because the body cannot easily cool down. D. Because strong winds make the weather worse. 44. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Heat domes are becoming a serious weather problem around the world. B. Climate change may influence the development of heat domes. C. Scientists have completely explained heat domes. D. Researchers believe extreme weather will disappear soon. 45. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Humans Can Control the Weather B. The History of Climate Change C. Heat Domes: Causes, Effects, and Safety Tips D. Different Types of Weather Around the World 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“热穹顶”这一极端天气现象展开，介绍了热穹顶的形成原理、带来的危害、频发的潜在原因，以及人们应对极端高温的防护方法，旨在让读者了解该现象，做好应对准备、保护自身与环境。 【41题详解】 第1段“Like an invisible cover above the Earth, it prevents hot air from escaping and causes temperatures near the ground to rise quickly.”直接说明作者将热穹顶比作“隐形罩”，是因为它会阻挡热空气散出，使近地面温度快速上升。 【42题详解】 第1段“A heat dome occurs when a large area of high pressure remains over a region for an extended period of time.”说明热穹顶是由一种天气现象形成的，并且这种现象可以被观察到，因此phenomenon意为“现象；可观察到的自然事件”。 【43题详解】 第2段“Unlike ordinary hot days, heat domes often continue through the night. As a result, the human body has less time to recover from the heat, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.”说明热穹顶在夜间存在危险性的原因是：高温持续到夜晚，人体没有足够时间从炎热中恢复，难以降温。 【44题详解】 第3段“Scientists suggest that climate change may be one important factor behind the increasing frequency of heat domes.”说明气候变化或许是热穹顶变多的重要因素，从而推出气候变化可能影响热穹顶的形成。 【45题详解】 全文围绕热穹顶展开，依次介绍了它的形成原因、带来的影响，以及人们的防护建议，“Heat Domes: Causes, Effects, and Safety Tips”涵盖了全文核心内容，是最适合的标题。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六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。 We all love watching firework displays, but let’s stop and think about the price we pay for just a few minutes of excitement. To begin with, the money we spend on fireworks is so much. The excitement is gone in a flash. ____46____ Yet, year after year, thousands of cities and towns spend so much money on firework displays. The money should be used to feed the hungry and house the homeless. In addition, there is the matter of pollution. Fireworks have chemicals that are harmful to people and animals. ____47____ Moreover, let’s consider the rubbish left behind after a firework display. What a mess! ____48____ The mess on the ground shows they don’t care about our environment. ____49____ Some fireworks can be harmful to your hearing, especially the fireworks used in public displays that give off a big BANG. Losing your hearing is too high a price to pay. ____50____ Children from the ages of five to fourteen are the ones most often injured. In my opinion, public firework displays should be kept to a minimum (最少量). Those people who organize firework displays should clean up the mess they make. Also, kids should be very careful with fireworks. A. Last but not least, fireworks are dangerous. B. What we really are doing is burning money. C. Thousands of people are injured by fireworks every year. D. These chemicals will pollute the air we breathe and the water we drink. E. And setting off fireworks is full of fun. F. People just enjoy the beautiful fireworks in the sky, but they don’t care what is left on the ground. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. F 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述燃放烟花存在诸多弊端：不仅浪费钱财、产生化学污染、留下大量垃圾，还会损害听力，甚至造成人员受伤。作者认为公共烟花表演应尽量减少，组织者需要清理现场，儿童燃放烟花要格外小心。 【46题详解】 前文提到烟花花费巨大，短暂的快乐转瞬即逝。后文提到年复一年，大量城镇依旧花钱办烟花秀，这笔钱本可以救助饥饿和无家可归的人。B选项“What we really are doing is burning money.”承接上下文，契合金钱浪费的论点。 【47题详解】 前文提到烟花含有对人和动物有害的化学物质，D选项“These chemicals will pollute the air we breathe and the water we drink.”顺承说明化学物质带来的污染危害，对应本段的污染主题。 【48题详解】 前文提到烟花表演后留下大量垃圾、场面混乱，后文提到地上的垃圾说明人们不关心环境，F选项“People just enjoy the beautiful fireworks in the sky, but they don’t care what is left on the ground.”衔接前后，契合垃圾相关的论述。 【49题详解】 后文开始提到烟花会损害听力，属于安全危害范畴，A选项“Last but not least, fireworks are dangerous.”引出后续关于烟花危险性的内容，起到过渡作用。 【50题详解】 后文提到5到14岁的儿童最常受伤，C选项“Thousands of people are injured by fireworks every year.”引出受伤相关的具体数据和人群，逻辑连贯。 第三节 （共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容回答问题。 Project-based learning (项目化学习) is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real world examples and challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra. Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology (希腊神话). Well, how did she make it? ◆She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. ◆Step 1 Choose a topic ◆She had to learn about that topic and do some research on it. To collect information, she read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games all connected with Greek mythology. When she collected her information, she was ready to create a project. ◆Step 2 Do the research ◆She created a project based on her talents and skills. She loves to build with Legos (乐高), so she decided to build Lego creations based on the stories of Greek mythology characters. She’s also really good at art, so she created a book about her favorite characters. In her book, she drew pictures of them and wrote the stories in her own words. ◆Step 3 ________ ◆After all of that work, she made a living room presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she had created. Then she shared her project online with friends, and even shared her project on social media. ◆Step 4 Do the presentation From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students cannot only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning? 51. How do learners solve problems in project-based learning? ___________________________________________________________ 52. How long does it take students to finish a project? ___________________________________________________________ 53. What did Sandra do to collect information? (One example is OK.) ___________________________________________________________ 54. What’s the best subtitle (小标题) of Step 3? ___________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of how project-based learning helps Sandra? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. By using real-world examples and challenges. 52. From a week to a term. 53. She read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. 54. Create a project. 55. It helps her learn deeply and have fun. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了项目化学习的概念，并通过Sandra的例子展示了项目化学习的四个步骤及其对学生的积极影响。 【51题详解】 第一段指出学习者如何解决问题：“During the learning, learners solve problems by using real world examples and challenges.”，答案是原文直接信息。 【52题详解】 第一段指出学生完成项目的时间：“Students work on a project over a period of time from a week to a term.”，答案是原文直接信息。 【53题详解】 表格第二行指出Sandra收集信息的方式：“To collect information, she read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games all connected with Greek mythology.”，答案是原文直接信息。 【54题详解】 表格第三行描述了Sandra的第三步：“She created a project based on her talents and skills.”，由此可知第三步的小标题应为“Create a project”。 【55题详解】 最后一段指出项目化学习的好处：“Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning.”，由此可知项目化学习帮助Sandra深入学习并享受学习的乐趣。答案不唯一，合理作答即可。 VI.情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，完成下列各题。 56. A: ___________________________? B: I have been to Mount Huangshan. 【答案】Where have you been? 【解析】 【详解】答句的含义是“我去过黄山”，是在回答过去的出行去向，用了现在完成时结构have been to，因此，问句要对应提问“你去过哪里”，时态也应用现在完成时，特殊疑问词应用where，并且位于句首，首字母应大写。 57. A: Do you like travelling by train or by plane? B: ___________________________. 【答案】I like travelling by train/plane./I don’t like either. 【解析】 【详解】问句“Do you like travelling by train or by plane?”是一个选择疑问句，询问对方更喜欢哪种出行方式。因此，答句需要从“乘火车 (by train)”或“乘飞机 (by plane)”中做出选择。故回答可以表达对其中一种的偏好，也可以表达两者都不喜欢，常见的回答如“I like travelling by train/plane.”或“I don’t like either.”均符合语境。 58. A: ________________ in the past? B: It was slow. Most people traveled by bike. 【答案】What was transportation like 【解析】 【详解】根据答语“It was slow. Most people traveled by bike.”可知，答句在描述过去交通的状况，时态为一般过去时，因此问句应询问过去的交通是什么样子，故此问句应为“What was transportation like”。 59. A: ____________________________________________? B: It means making use of something again. 【答案】What does “reuse” mean 【解析】 【详解】答句“It means making use of something again.”意为“它的意思是再次利用某物”，核心信息是问单词“reuse”的意思，对“意思”提问使用What，句子用一般现在时，主语为“reuse”，助动词用does。应填What does “reuse” mean。 60. A: ____________________________________________? B: Yes, I have. I have sorted waste for two months. 【答案】Have you sorted waste 【解析】 【详解】答句用“Yes, I have.”回答，是现在完成时的肯定回答，说明问句为Have you开头的现在完成时一般疑问句；答句后半句“I have sorted waste for two months.”表示“我已经垃圾分类两个月了”，因此问句是在询问对方是否进行垃圾分类，故填Have you sorted waste。 VII.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。 61. already, stop ___________________________________________________________ 62. touch, by ___________________________________________________________ 63. used to do ___________________________________________________________ 64. be, 10 years ___________________________________________________________ 65. necessary, drip ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】61. The factory has already stopped pouring waste water into the river. 62. They keep in touch with each other by WeChat.  63. The man used to get up early. 64. She has been an English teacher for 10 years. 65. It’s necessary for us to stop the water tap from dripping.  【解析】 【61题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，本句应表达“工厂已经停止向河流排放废水。”The factory“工厂”作主语；already“已经”是现在完成时的标志词，stop doing sth“停止做某事”；pour waste water into the river“将废水排入河流”。 【62题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，本句应表达“他们通过微信保持联系。”keep in touch with sb表示“与某人保持联系”，介词by表示“通过某种方式”，each other“彼此”；描述现在的动作或状态要用一般现在时。 【63题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，本句应表达“那个男人以前常常早起。”used to do sth“过去常常做某事”；get up early“早起”。 【64题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，本句应表达“她当英语老师已经10年了。” “for+时间段”常与现在完成时连用，She“她”作主语，be要变为has been；an English teacher“一位英语老师”；for 10 years“10年了”作状语。 【65题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，本句应表达“对我们来说，阻止水龙头滴水很有必要。”It’s necessary for us to do sth“对某人来说，做某事很有必要”；stop sth from doing sth“阻止某物做某事”，the water tap“水龙头”，dripping“滴水”。 VIII. 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境、首字母或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个或两个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Great changes have taken place in my hometown over the past thirty years.

Although we shared the same lift every day, none of us knew each other’s names. We only looked at the floor numbers. We were neighbors behind locked doors, but almost strangers. Last winter, a wooden box in the lobby changed that. An old teacher, Mrs. Smith, put the box there with a sign: “Take what you need, leave what you can.” On the first day, there were three bottles of honey inside. I thought it was only a small act of kindness and would not last long. But the “Gift Box” soon became a bridge that connected everyone in the building. The honey disappeared and was replaced by children’s books and a bag of apples. I once left an old umbrella there, and two days later, I found a note from Apartment 4 B, “Thank you. My son and I used it on the way home from school. We got home dry.” For the first time, 4 B was not just a number, but a real person. One Sunday night, a water pipe in my room broke. Feeling helpless, I ran down and left a message in the box. Minutes later, Mr. Lee from the fifth floor came with his tools. While fixing the pipe, he told me he had lived alone since his children moved away. “I used to think no one here needed me,” he said. “We thought we were just exchanging things, but we are actually sharing the stories of our lives,” he added. The box is larger now, and it has taught us that a community is not just made of bricks and stones, but of the love that we share when we help each other.

Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said. Numbers are beautiful! There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) are beautiful! “Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. Tangent curve is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”. Formulas (公式) are beautiful! There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern said, Math is fun! 36. What does the writer think about math? A. He thinks math is difficult and boring. B.

To offer advice on learning math. 39. What does a “tangent curve” look like? A. B. C. D. 40. What amazing formula is mentioned in the passage about right-angled triangles? A. B. C. D. D Heat Domes: Invisible Traps of Extreme Heat Have you ever wondered why some areas experience unusually high temperatures for several days or even weeks? One possible reason is a weather phenomenon called a heat dome. A heat dome occurs when a large area of high pressure remains over a region for an extended period of time. Like an invisible cover above the Earth, it prevents hot air from escaping and causes temperatures near the ground to rise quickly. The Effects of a Heat Dome A heat dome can bring scorching heat and extremely dry conditions. During such events, temperatures may climb above 40℃,creating dangerous conditions for people, animals, and plants. Unlike ordinary hot days, heat domes often continue through the night. As a result, the human body has less time to recover from the heat, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. Why Are Heat Domes Becoming More Common? Scientists suggest that climate change may be one important factor behind the increasing frequency of heat domes. Rising global temperatures can influence ocean conditions and atmospheric patterns, making extreme weather events more likely to occur. However, researchers are still studying the relationship between climate change and heat domes. Protecting Ourselves from Extreme Heat When a heat dome arrives, people should take precautions to protect their health. Drinking enough water, staying indoors during the hottest parts of the day, and avoiding intense physical activities are effective ways to reduce the danger. In some cases, visiting air-conditioned public places can also help people stay safe. Heat domes remind us that weather systems can have a powerful impact on our daily lives. By learning about these events, we can better prepare for future challenges and protect both ourselves and the environment. 41. Why does the writer compare a heat dome to an “invisible cover”? A. Because it blocks sunlight completely. B. Because it keeps hot air from moving away. C. Because it creates clouds above the Earth. D. Because it prevents rain from falling. 42. What does the underlined word “phenomenon” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. A natural event that can be observed. B. A machine used to measure weather. C. A problem caused only by humans. D. A change that happens every day. 43. According to the passage, why are heat domes dangerous at night? A. Because temperatures suddenly drop and cause illness. B. Because people usually exercise outdoors at night. C. Because the body cannot easily cool down. D. Because strong winds make the weather worse. 44. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Heat domes are becoming a serious weather problem around the world. B. Climate change may influence the development of heat domes. C. Scientists have completely explained heat domes. D. Researchers believe extreme weather will disappear soon. 45. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Humans Can Control the Weather B. The History of Climate Change C. Heat Domes: Causes, Effects, and Safety Tips D.

It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real world examples and challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra. Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology (希腊神话). Well, how did she make it? ◆She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. ◆Step 1 Choose a topic ◆She had to learn about that topic and do some research on it. To collect information, she read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games all connected with Greek mythology. When she collected her information, she was ready to create a project. ◆Step 2 Do the research ◆She created a project based on her talents and skills. She loves to build with Legos (乐高), so she decided to build Lego creations based on the stories of Greek mythology characters. She’s also really good at art, so she created a book about her favorite characters. In her book, she drew pictures of them and wrote the stories in her own words. ◆Step 3 ________ ◆After all of that work, she made a living room presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she had created. Then she shared her project online with friends, and even shared her project on social media. ◆Step 4 Do the presentation From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students cannot only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning? 51.
