Who can apply for the job at Tyonek Garden? A. A 17-year-old student with gardening experience. B. A 19-year-old who loves the outdoors but has no experience. C. A 20-year-old who can work 3 hours a day. D. A 25-year-old who can only work in September. 12. How much can a worker get if he/she works 3 days a week for four weeks? A. $120. B. $180. C. $720.

Visit Tyonek Garden to introduce your experience. D. Write a short letter about yourself and your gardening. 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了一份在Tyonek花园的暑期工作招聘信息，包括工作内容、年龄要求、工作时间、薪资待遇、申请截止日期以及申请方式等。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“About the job”部分中的“Age: 18 or older”可知，申请者必须年满18岁；再结合第一段中的“No experience needed — just a love for the outdoors and a desire to learn.”可知，申请该工作不需要经验，只需要热爱户外。B选项“19岁热爱户外但没有经验的人”完全符合这些条件。A选项年龄不符；C选项每天工作3小时不符合“6 hours a day”；D选项9月才能工作不符合“May 31st to August 18th”的工作日期。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“About the job”部分中的“Hours: 6 hours a day, 3 days a week”和“Payment: $10 per hour”可知，工人每周工作3天，每天6小时，时薪10美元。因此，每周的薪资为 3 × 6 × 10 = 180美元。题目问的是工作四周能拿到多少钱，所以总薪资为 180 × 4 = 720美元。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“To apply”部分中的“please send us a short letter telling us why you want this job and what you know about gardening.”可知，申请该工作需要写一封信，说明为什么想要这份工作以及你对园艺的了解。这与D选项“写一封关于你自己和你的园艺的信”相符。 B ① Scammers (诈骗犯) are becoming a bigger danger, especially for the old. A study in the UK found that 67% of people over 75 faced at least one scam attempt (企图) in six months, and most of these were phone scams. To solve the problem, a company named Virgin Media O2 has found an unusual solution: Daisy. ② Who is Daisy? In fact, Daisy is not a real person. She is an AI chatbot. Daisy acts like an ordinary grandmother. She loves chatting and says she’s not good with technology. Or, at least, that’s what she might tell people on the phone. She calls herself “your worst nightmare (噩梦)” not to you, but to phone scammers. ③ So how does Daisy work? All she does every day is to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. She is trained to chat with scammers and keep them on the phone so they can’t scam others. Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber (油管博主) who acts as a victim (诈骗受害者) to waste scammers’ time. Together, they made Daisy very believable. ④ Daisy has real conversations with scammers. Some of these chats last nearly an hour! She talks about her cat, her dog, and her family. Sometimes, she even gives the scammers what they want—bank details. But of course, they’re not real. ⑤ Virgin Media O2 says Daisy has already wasted “hundreds of hours” of scammers’ time. This helps protect other people, especially grandparents, from being scammed. Daisy also teaches an important lesson: you can’t always trust the person you’re speaking to on the phone. So, be careful and don’t share personal information. By keeping scammers busy, Daisy helps make the world a little safer for everyone. 14. Why does Daisy call herself the worst nightmare for the scammers? A. Because she wastes scammers’ time to protect others. B. Because she reports scammers to the police. C. Because she scares scammers with her voice. D. Because she catches scammers with technology. 15. What can we infer about Jim Browning’s role in creating Daisy? A. He taught Daisy how to find scam calls. B. He helped with the computer programming for Daisy. C. His experience shaped the way Daisy was designed. D. He told the police about scam cases from Virgin Media O2. 16. What is the text mainly about? A. An AI chatbot that was made to chat with lonely old people on the phone. B. An AI “grandma” that wastes phone scammers’ time to protect people. C. Why old people are easily cheated by phone scammers in the UK. D. How a company uses AI technology to teach people to answer calls safely. 17. Which of the following shows the best structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了英国Virgin Media O2公司研发的AI聊天机器人Daisy，她伪装成普通老奶奶，通过与电话诈骗犯聊天、浪费其时间的方式保护人们免受诈骗，文章还说明了Daisy的设计背景、运作模式与实际作用。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第③段“All she does every day is to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. She is trained to chat with scammers and keep them on the phone so they can't scam others.”可知，Daisy通过和诈骗犯聊天浪费他们的时间，阻止他们诈骗其他人，因此称自己是诈骗犯的噩梦。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第③段“Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber who acts as a victim to waste scammers' time. Together, they made Daisy very believable.”可知，Jim Browning有假装诈骗受害者、浪费诈骗犯时间的相关经验，他参与研发让Daisy的表现更真实可信，由此可推断他的经验塑造了Daisy的设计方式。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕反诈骗AI聊天机器人Daisy展开，核心介绍了这款伪装成“奶奶”的AI通过浪费电话诈骗犯的时间来保护人们的相关内容，与选项B表述一致。 【17题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第①段介绍老年人易遭电话诈骗的背景，引出反诈骗AI机器人Daisy，是全文的总起部分；第②段介绍Daisy的身份与特点，第③段说明Daisy的工作原理与设计合作，第④段介绍Daisy和诈骗犯聊天的具体表现，其中第③④段都围绕Daisy的运作方式展开，属于同一分述层；第⑤段总结Daisy的实际效果与警示意义，是全文的总结部分。全文为总分总结构，分述分为两层，第③④段为同一层，对应选项B的结构。 C Most 15-year-olds are busy with homework, but Lu Yulong was busy building a plasma speaker (等离子扬声器). Born in 1995 in China, this young inventor later became famous as the “Lightning Man”. But his journey was not easy. When he was 12, a chemistry experiment went wrong and he was badly hurt. However, he did not give up. By 16, he had already built a plasma speaker and gotten a national patent (专利)! Instead of going to a top university, Lu chose to start his own company, Yulong Aerospace. In February 2026, his team successfully launched (发射) a 12-meter liquid rocket named “Shenzhen Pioneer.” It flew 38 kilometers high. So, what makes Lu special? He wants to make space travel very cheap. How? He uses common things like metal parts and everyday computer chips. He does not copy traditional rocket designs. Instead, he uses a simpler way called the “pressure-fed cycle,” which saves a lot of money. His goal is to send one kilogram of things into space for only 480 US dollars. That is much cheaper than SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which is a rocket made by an American company called SpaceX! Another secret to Lu’s success is location. His company is in Shenzhen, a city with thousands of factories. Need a metal part? There is a factory nearby. Need a computer chip? Another factory can make it fast and cheap. Instead of buying expensive “space-grade” parts, Lu uses cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. He believes that building rockets should be like building cars—using factories to make many of them at a low cost. Lu does not want to be called “China’s Elon Musk”. He says, “I just want to be Yulong from China.” By using the powerful factories in Shenzhen, he is building a new path for China’s space industry. His story tells us: you don’t need to come from a big name to reach for the stars. You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself. 18. What can we learn about the rocket “Shenzhen Pioneer”? A. It was launched by a team from a top university. B. It reached a height of 38 kilometers. C. It was made of expensive “space-grade” parts. D. It was named after Lu’s nickname “Lightning Man”. 19. Which of the following is one of Lu Yulong’s secrets to success? A. Working with the top rocket company SpaceX. B. Copying traditional rocket designs to avoid mistakes. C. Buying expensive “space-grade” parts for safety. D. Using the powerful factories in Shenzhen to cut costs. 20. What can we learn from Lu’s words, “I just want to be Yulong from China”? A. He wishes to stay in China all his life. B. He doesn’t like Elon Musk at all. C. He hopes to be more famous than Musk. D. He is proud of himself and his motherland. 21. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To compare Lu Yulong with Elon Musk. B. To explain how to build a rocket step by step. C. To encourage young people to follow their dreams. D. To introduce the history of China’s space industry. 【答案】18. B 19. D 20. D 21. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍青年发明家卢驭龙放弃名校机会创办航天企业，利用深圳产业优势低成本研发火箭，坚持自我身份、怀揣航天梦想的励志故事。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。文章第2段“It flew 38 kilometers high.”提到该火箭飞行高度达到了38公里。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。文章第4段“Another secret to Lu’s success is location. His company is in Shenzhen... Another factory can make it fast and cheap.”提到利用深圳当地的工厂资源降低成本是他成功的秘诀之一。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。文章第5段“I just want to be Yulong from China.”及“building a new path for China’s space industry.”可推知他不想做别人的影子，而是为自己和祖国感到自豪，拥有独特的自我认同。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第5段“His story tells us: you don’t need to come from a big name to reach for the stars. You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself.”说明作者旨在通过卢驭龙的故事鼓励年轻人勇敢追求自己的梦想。 D Jenny first got into motorsport (赛车运动) by watching her younger brother, Bill, drive his kart (卡丁赛车). Every time he took off his helmet (头盔) with a big smile, she became more fascinated. Soon after, she took the wheel herself. She started out in karts, racing at state level and then nationally, and got good results early on. She got into the 2023-Ferrari training camp and was invited to enter a top Italian racing school. She then won Best New Driver in November 2024, and moved up to the Spanish F4 (一种入门级赛车比赛). In February 2025, she became a driver of the F1 Academy — races for women racers. Racing needs a strong mind, not just fast driving. Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. Since she travels a lot for racing, Jenny has to study online. And she misses her friends’ birthdays. Always being on the way means leaving behind her loved things like her home, her school and the people she grew up with. As a woman driver, Jenny has faced doubts, but she believes love and performance speak loudest. She hopes to encourage more girls to go for their dreams. She enjoys the speed and excitement of driving. Her biggest dream is to become the first woman F1 driver in her country. 22. What does Paragraph 2 focus on? A. The history of the F1 Academy. B. Jenny’s educational background. C. Jenny’s big moments in motor racing. D. The development of the Spanish F4. 23. How does Jenny deal with pressure in races? A. By playing sports every day. B. By learning from other racers. C. By competing with her brother. D. By working with a coach before races. 24. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Jenny can balance her life well. B. Jenny values her free time most. C. Jenny makes great efforts for racing. D. Jenny might travel a lot with her friends. 25. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Driven to Fly B. No Doubt, No Success C. Born to Coach D. The Younger, The Better 【答案】22. C 23. D 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Jenny从观看弟弟开卡丁车到成为职业赛车手的成长历程，以及她为赛车付出的努力和未来的梦想。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍了Jenny在赛车运动中的重要时刻，包括她参加卡丁车比赛、进入法拉利训练营、获得最佳新秀奖以及成为F1学院车手。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段第三句“Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races.”指出，Jenny每周与教练交谈，并模拟可能面对的情况，以帮助自己在压力下保持冷静、在比赛中保持专注。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段“Since she travels a lot for racing, Jenny has to study online. And she misses her friends’ birthdays. Always being on the way means leaving behind her loved things like her home, her school and the people she grew up with.”指出，Jenny为了赛车经常旅行，只能在线学习，错过朋友的生日，不得不离开家、学校和从小一起长大的人，说明她为赛车付出了巨大努力。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。文章讲述了Jenny从观看弟弟开卡丁车到成为F1学院车手的成长历程，以及她为赛车付出的努力和希望成为本国第一位女性F1车手的梦想。“Driven to Fly”既包含“driven”（被驱动、有动力）又包含“fly”（飞翔、追逐梦想），最能概括全文主旨。 四、信息还原（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? ____26____ Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. ____27____ The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All the groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important to how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. ____28____ And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. ____29____ This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里).  ____30____ It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US.

This often happens because of peer pressure (同伴压力). Peer pressure is the influence from people in your same age group, and it is very common for teenagers. It can be direct, like a friend asking you to copy homework. It can also be indirect, like feeling you need to wear certain clothes to fit in. Many young people follow their peers because they want to feel welcome and part of the group. They are afraid that saying “no” will make them look different or lead to being left out. However, this can put them in a difficult situation. They may feel stressed and unhappy because they are not being themselves. So, how can we deal with peer pressure in a smart way? Here are some steps you can follow: First, take a breath and think. When you feel pushed to do something, don’t answer immediately. Ask yourself: “Is this safe?” “Is this right for me?” Second, plan your words. It’s easier to say “no” when you know what to say. You can be direct and say, “No, thanks. I’m not comfortable with that.” You can also give a simple reason like, “My parents would be really upset,” or suggest a different idea, such as studying together instead of copying homework. Finally, find your people. Spend more time with friends who share your values and respect your choices. True friendship should be based on respect, not on pressure. Remember, learning to handle peer pressure is a part of growing up. By being true to yourself, you build a stronger sense of self and healthier, happier friendships. 54. Why do some young people follow their peers? ___________________________________________________ 55. What steps does the passage suggest to deal with peer pressure? ___________________________________________________ 56. In your opinion, which way is better to deal with peer pressure, following others or saying “no”? Why? ___________________________________________________ 【答案】54. Because they want to feel welcome and part of the group. 55. First, take a breath and think. Second, plan your words. Finally, find your people. 56. In my opinion, it is better to say ‘no’. Because it can help us avoid making mistakes. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了同伴压力的定义、产生原因以及应对同伴压力的具体方法，并鼓励青少年坚持自我、建立健康的友谊。 【54题详解】 第二段指出年轻人跟随同伴是因为他们想感到被欢迎、融入群体“they want to feel welcome and part of the group”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 【55题详解】 第三段引出应对同伴压力的方法，随后三段分别以“First... Second... Finally...”具体说明，即“take a breath and think”“plan your words”“find your people”，属于原文直接提取。 【56题详解】 开放题，答案不唯一。需结合文中提到的应对同伴压力的方法（如思考是否安全、是否适合自己，礼貌拒绝，寻找志同道合的朋友等），表明观点并给出合理理由即可。 八、附加题（首字母填空，不计入总分） I am a music lover, but in the past I c____57____ classical music boring and old-fashioned.

A study in the UK found that 67% of people over 75 faced at least one scam attempt (企图) in six months, and most of these were phone scams. To solve the problem, a company named Virgin Media O2 has found an unusual solution: Daisy. ② Who is Daisy? In fact, Daisy is not a real person. She is an AI chatbot. Daisy acts like an ordinary grandmother. She loves chatting and says she’s not good with technology. Or, at least, that’s what she might tell people on the phone. She calls herself “your worst nightmare (噩梦)” not to you, but to phone scammers. ③ So how does Daisy work? All she does every day is to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. She is trained to chat with scammers and keep them on the phone so they can’t scam others. Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber (油管博主) who acts as a victim (诈骗受害者) to waste scammers’ time. Together, they made Daisy very believable. ④ Daisy has real conversations with scammers. Some of these chats last nearly an hour! She talks about her cat, her dog, and her family. Sometimes, she even gives the scammers what they want—bank details. But of course, they’re not real. ⑤ Virgin Media O2 says Daisy has already wasted “hundreds of hours” of scammers’ time. This helps protect other people, especially grandparents, from being scammed. Daisy also teaches an important lesson: you can’t always trust the person you’re speaking to on the phone. So, be careful and don’t share personal information. By keeping scammers busy, Daisy helps make the world a little safer for everyone. 14. Why does Daisy call herself the worst nightmare for the scammers? A. Because she wastes scammers’ time to protect others. B. Because she reports scammers to the police. C. Because she scares scammers with her voice. D. Because she catches scammers with technology. 15. What can we infer about Jim Browning’s role in creating Daisy? A. He taught Daisy how to find scam calls. B. He helped with the computer programming for Daisy. C. His experience shaped the way Daisy was designed. D. He told the police about scam cases from Virgin Media O2. 16. What is the text mainly about? A. An AI chatbot that was made to chat with lonely old people on the phone. B. An AI “grandma” that wastes phone scammers’ time to protect people. C. Why old people are easily cheated by phone scammers in the UK. D. How a company uses AI technology to teach people to answer calls safely. 17. Which of the following shows the best structure of the text? A. B. C. D. C Most 15-year-olds are busy with homework, but Lu Yulong was busy building a plasma speaker (等离子扬声器). Born in 1995 in China, this young inventor later became famous as the “Lightning Man”. But his journey was not easy. When he was 12, a chemistry experiment went wrong and he was badly hurt. However, he did not give up. By 16, he had already built a plasma speaker and gotten a national patent (专利)! Instead of going to a top university, Lu chose to start his own company, Yulong Aerospace. In February 2026, his team successfully launched (发射) a 12-meter liquid rocket named “Shenzhen Pioneer.” It flew 38 kilometers high. So, what makes Lu special? He wants to make space travel very cheap. How? He uses common things like metal parts and everyday computer chips. He does not copy traditional rocket designs. Instead, he uses a simpler way called the “pressure-fed cycle,” which saves a lot of money. His goal is to send one kilogram of things into space for only 480 US dollars. That is much cheaper than SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which is a rocket made by an American company called SpaceX! Another secret to Lu’s success is location. His company is in Shenzhen, a city with thousands of factories. Need a metal part? There is a factory nearby. Need a computer chip? Another factory can make it fast and cheap. Instead of buying expensive “space-grade” parts, Lu uses cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. He believes that building rockets should be like building cars—using factories to make many of them at a low cost. Lu does not want to be called “China’s Elon Musk”. He says, “I just want to be Yulong from China.” By using the powerful factories in Shenzhen, he is building a new path for China’s space industry. His story tells us: you don’t need to come from a big name to reach for the stars. You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself. 18. What can we learn about the rocket “Shenzhen Pioneer”? A. It was launched by a team from a top university. B. It reached a height of 38 kilometers. C. It was made of expensive “space-grade” parts. D. It was named after Lu’s nickname “Lightning Man”. 19. Which of the following is one of Lu Yulong’s secrets to success? A. Working with the top rocket company SpaceX. B. Copying traditional rocket designs to avoid mistakes. C. Buying expensive “space-grade” parts for safety. D. Using the powerful factories in Shenzhen to cut costs. 20. What can we learn from Lu’s words, “I just want to be Yulong from China”? A. He wishes to stay in China all his life. B. He doesn’t like Elon Musk at all. C. He hopes to be more famous than Musk. D. He is proud of himself and his motherland. 21. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To compare Lu Yulong with Elon Musk. B. To explain how to build a rocket step by step. C. To encourage young people to follow their dreams. D. To introduce the history of China’s space industry. D Jenny first got into motorsport (赛车运动) by watching her younger brother, Bill, drive his kart (卡丁赛车). Every time he took off his helmet (头盔) with a big smile, she became more fascinated. Soon after, she took the wheel herself. She started out in karts, racing at state level and then nationally, and got good results early on. She got into the 2023-Ferrari training camp and was invited to enter a top Italian racing school. She then won Best New Driver in November 2024, and moved up to the Spanish F4 (一种入门级赛车比赛). In February 2025, she became a driver of the F1 Academy — races for women racers. Racing needs a strong mind, not just fast driving. Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. Since she travels a lot for racing, Jenny has to study online. And she misses her friends’ birthdays. Always being on the way means leaving behind her loved things like her home, her school and the people she grew up with. As a woman driver, Jenny has faced doubts, but she believes love and performance speak loudest. She hopes to encourage more girls to go for their dreams. She enjoys the speed and excitement of driving. Her biggest dream is to become the first woman F1 driver in her country. 22. What does Paragraph 2 focus on? A. The history of the F1 Academy. B. Jenny’s educational background. C. Jenny’s big moments in motor racing. D. The development of the Spanish F4. 23. How does Jenny deal with pressure in races? A. By playing sports every day. B. By learning from other racers. C. By competing with her brother. D. By working with a coach before races. 24. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Jenny can balance her life well. B. Jenny values her free time most. C. Jenny makes great efforts for racing. D. Jenny might travel a lot with her friends. 25. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Driven to Fly B. No Doubt, No Success C. Born to Coach D. The Younger, The Better 四、信息还原（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? ____26____ Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. ____27____ The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All the groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important to how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. ____28____ And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. ____29____ This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里).  ____30____ It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. A. Walking backward might help you. B. Your memory might just thank you for it. C. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. D. Sometimes, the best way forward really is a step back. E. In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. F. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. G. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. 五、词汇运用（共 13 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 13 分） 第一节 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给的汉语注释或首字母提示，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 Tom failed an important project last month, which ____31____ (使失望) him a lot.
