B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Makenzie小时候的漂流瓶项目意外被找回，她与老师重新联系，体现了师生间持久情谊的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：Makenzie Van Eyk在加拿大安大略省一个安静的小镇长大，她从未想到自己四年级的一项作业会让她和老师重新取得联系。 town是可数名词单数，且在文中第一次提及，应用不定冠词表示泛指。quiet以辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a。the“这个”表特指和“/”均不符。 【2题详解】 句意：1998年，全班同学研究水流：写下纸条，装进塑料瓶密封，投进附近的湖里。 根据时间状语“In 1998”可知，本句用一般过去时，填studied。现在完成时has studied“已经研究了”和过去完成时had studied“已经研究了”均不符。 【3题详解】 句意：Makenzie写上学校的联系方式，尽管她以为瓶子会永远漂向远方。 前半句“Makenzie added her school’s contact information”和后半句“she thought the bottle must have drifted away forever”句意存在转折让步关系，故填though。because“因为”表原因和unless“除非”表条件均不符。 【4题详解】 句意：她从未期望有人找到它。 expect sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“期望某人做某事”，故填不定式to find。动名词finding“找到”和动词原形find“找到”均不符。 【5题详解】 句意：然后在2002年10月，Makenzie接到学校电话，说瓶子被一名幼儿园学生发现了。 “October 2002”是月份和年份，应用介词in。on“在”表示具体某一天和at“在”表示时刻均不符。 【6题详解】 句意：关于这份作业她记得不多，但记得用蜡把瓶子密封起来。 前半句“She didn’t remember much about the homework”和后半句“she remembered…the bottle with wax”句意存在转折关系，应用but。and“和”和or“或者”均不符。 【7题详解】 句意：关于这份作业她记得不多，但记得用蜡把瓶子密封起来。 结合语境可知，此处指她记得用蜡把瓶子密封起来这件事，表示“记得做过某事”用固定搭配remember doing sth.表示，故填sealing。不定式to seal“去封”和动词原形seal“封”均不符。 【8题详解】 句意：她以前的老师Roland St. Pierre得知这件事后也很震惊。 空处修饰人的感受，用-ed结尾的形容词，故填shocked。动词/名词shock“震惊”和shocking“令人震惊的”均不符。 【9题详解】 句意：他的每一届学生每年都会做这个漂流瓶项目，但这是第一个被送回的瓶子。 本句主语是“Each of his students”，each作主语核心，视作单数，且描述经常性动作用一般现在时，故填does。现在完成时has done“已经做了”和动词原形do“做”均不符。 【10题详解】 句意：他的每一届学生每年都会做这个漂流瓶项目，但这是第一个被送回的瓶子。 “This is the first time”后接现在完成时，且瓶子是被归还，应用现在完成时的被动语态，故填has been returned。一般过去时的被动语态was returned“被归还”和现在完成时的主动语态has returned“已经归还”均不符。 【11题详解】 句意：St. Pierre和Makenzie决定回到当年Van Eyk投下信件的湖边碰面。 本句是定语从句，先行词是地点spot，且从句缺地点状语，故填where。“/”和that“那个”均不符。 【12题详解】 句意：这个暖心的故事打动了很多当地人，它向人们展示：一个简单的课堂项目，能够建立起师生之间长久的羁绊。 结合全文及语境可知，本句表示能力，应用情态动词can。should“应该”和might“可能”均不符。 III.（共8分） Complete the following passages with the proper words in the box.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文包含两篇短文，体裁均为说明文。第一篇短文主要阐述了年轻人在择业时了解自身优势、岗位要求以及保持热爱的重要性；第二篇短文介绍了伴随人口老龄化而兴起的新兴职业“陪诊师”，阐述了该职业的专业素养要求以及为社区老年人提供温暖陪伴的社会价值。 【13题详解】 句意：为了找到一份真正适合的工作，你首先需要了解自己的个人优势和该工作的基本要求。此处需要一个名词，在名词所有格job’s和形容词basic后作宾语。根据前文“know your own personal strengths”以及择业常识可知，找工作除了了解自身长处，还需明确工作对从业者的要求，名词requirements意为“要求”，符合语境。故选用E项requirements表示“要求”。 【14题详解】 句意：例如，一名优秀的记者需要擅长写作并与不同的人交流，并且总是认真对待自己的工作，以捕捉有趣的生活故事并分享真实的声音。此处需要一个可数名词单数，在句中作主语。根据后文举例说明的职业特质“good at writing and talking with different people”以及工作目标“to catch interesting life stories and share real voices”可知，具备擅长写作、采访交流并记录真实生活特质的职业是记者，名词journalist意为“记者”。故选用A项journalist表示“记者”。 【15题详解】 句意：并且总是认真对待自己的工作，以捕捉有趣的生活故事并分享真实的声音。此处需要一个副词，在动词短语中作状语。根据空前的动词及宾语“take their work”可知，此处是固定短语take sth. seriously，意为“认真对待某事”，副词seriously修饰动词take，符合优秀从业人员敬业负责的工作态度。故选用C项seriously表示“认真地”。 【16题详解】 句意：如果你仅仅为了钱而不是因为热爱而选择一份工作，你很容易对日常例行琐事感到厌倦。此处需要一个形容词，在句中作表语。根据前文假设“choose a job only for money rather than because you love it”以及空后的“with the daily routine”可知，缺乏热爱的工作容易让人产生枯燥乏味之感，固定短语get bored with意为“对……感到厌倦”，形容词bored用于说明人的主观心理感受。故选用B项bored表示“厌倦的”。 【17题详解】 句意：为了做好这份工作，你必须足够专业，能够处理各种医疗流程并与医生清晰沟通。此处需要一个形容词，在句中作表语，被副词enough后置修饰。根据后文“handle various medical procedures and communicate with doctors clearly”可知，陪诊涉及熟悉医疗环节、协助问诊等复杂的业务技能，从业人员需要具备专业素养，形容词professional意为“专业的”，符合从业能力要求。故选用C项professional表示“专业的”。 【18题详解】 句意：你需要早到以协助挂号，或者如果患者需要手术治疗，你需要跟进手术的每一个步骤。此处需要一个名词，在定冠词the后作介词of的宾语。根据后半句的条件状语从句“if patients need surgical treatment”可知，此处特指外科手术过程，名词operation意为“手术”，与surgical treatment形成语境呼应。故选用E项operation表示“手术”。 【19题详解】 句意：有时候你需要向紧张的患者提供额外的心理支持。此处需要一个形容词，在句中作定语修饰名词短语emotional support。根据空后的“nervous patients”以及前文介绍陪诊师常规的流程协助工作可知，面对焦虑紧张的就诊者，除了流程协助外，还需要给予额外的关怀与安抚，形容词extra意为“额外的”，符合语境。故选用D项extra表示“额外的”。 【20题详解】 句意：尽管你的工作很累，而且可能在社交媒体上鲜为人知，但它满足了我们社区的真实需求。此处需要一个名词，在形容词性物主代词our后作介词in的宾语。根据全文首句“As the population ages…”以及该职业“focuses on caring for the elderly”可知，陪诊师服务于身边的老年群体及需要帮助的就医者，切实满足了基层社区居民的养老就医需求，名词community意为“社区”，符合社会服务场景。故选用B项community表示“社区”。 IV. （10分） Complete the following conversation as required. (按要求补全对话) Charlie is asking his teacher Rachel for some information about the election for Sports Minister of the Student Union tomorrow. Rachel: Hi, Charlie. You look a little nervous. What’s wrong? Charlie: Good morning, Ms Rachel. I’m worried about the election for Sports Minister of the Student Union tomorrow. Rachel: Don’t worry. You should believe in yourself. It’s a good chance to show others your abilities. You would make a good leader. Charlie: Thanks. But I still have some questions about it. Rachel: Of course. Feel free to ask me anything.

Charlie: Could you please tell me ____________24____________? (询问时长) I need to take a maths exam at 4 p.m. Rachel: I think it will only take one and a half hours in total.

Charlie: I will. ____________25____________. (作出恰当回应) Rachel: You’re welcome! Good luck tomorrow! 【答案】21. when will it start/what time will it start 22. what do I need to prepare/what should I prepare 23. is it going to be held in the gym/is it in the gym 24. how long it will take/how long it will last 25. Thank you/Thanks for your help/Thank you for your advice 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Charlie就明天举行的学生会体育部长竞选向老师Rachel询问活动时间、准备事项、举办地点以及时长等具体细节，Rachel耐心解答并鼓励Charlie树立信心的情景。 【21题详解】 根据中文提示“询问时间”以及空后Charlie强调需要准时到达“I need to get there on time.”可知，此处询问活动开始的具体时间。Rachel的答语“It will start at 2 p.m.”直接说明了具体时间，故用疑问句“when will it start”或“what time will it start”自然引出答语并衔接下文。 【22题详解】 Charlie了解时间后需询问其他准备事项，后文Rachel回答“You need to prepare a 3-minute speech and a poster about yourself.”说明了具体准备内容，故用疑问句“what do I need to prepare”或“what should I prepare”进行提问，与下文形成完整问答。 【23题详解】 Charlie补充道“I heard it was going to be moved to the gym last week.”，想确认活动地点是否更改，Rachel随后予以否定“No, it isn't. It's still going to be held in the school hall…”，故用一般疑问句“is it going to be held in the gym”或“is it in the gym”进行求证，与Rachel的否定回答形成紧密衔接。 【24题详解】 Charlie提到自己4点有一场数学考试，需询问活动的持续时长，Rachel随后答出“I think it will only take one and a half hours in total.”，主句“Could you please tell me…”后接宾语从句需用陈述语序，故用“how long it will take”或“how long it will last”自然引出Rachel对活动时长的回答。 【25题详解】 在Rachel给出自信表达的建议后，Charlie表示接受“I will.”，后文Rachel以客套用语“You're welcome! Good luck tomorrow!”作答，说明此处Charlie应向老师表达谢意，用交际用语“Thank you.”或“Thanks for your help/advice.”表达感激之情，符合对话推进逻辑，且被Rachel的话自然承接。 Part 3 Reading and writing （第三部分 读写）（共80分） V. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（60分） A. （12分） Our concerns Tom: I feel shy when meeting new people. During breaks, I often stay by myself, even though I really wish I could join others. I just don’t know how to start a conversation. Mia: Sometimes I speak too quickly without thinking and end up hurting others’ feelings. I always regret it later but find it really hard to say sorry properly. Alex: I’ve been getting more pimples recently, and it really bothers me. I feel like everyone is staring at my face, and I’ve even started avoiding photos and social gatherings because of it. Daniel: Whenever I have a big test, I get so nervous that my mind goes blank or my heart races. I know the material when I study, but during the exam, I just panic and forget everything. Emma: My teacher seems very serious and busy all the time. I’m worried that if I ask for help, I might bother him. So, I usually stay quiet even when I don’t understand something in class. Our suggestions A．Before you speak, try taking a moment to think. If you do hurt someone, a sincere and specific apology like “I’m sorry I said that” or “That was thoughtless of me” can make a big difference. B．Skin issues are very common during teenage years. Instead of avoiding social situations, try following a healthy skincare routine and remind yourself that people focus far less on your skin than on who you are. C．Joining a study group or a club is a great way to make friends and learn from others. You are likely to find students with common interests there. D．Practise deep breathing exercises before the test to calm your nerves. Also, keep in mind that it’s okay to skip a question and come back to it later. E．Teachers are usually happy to help students who show they want to learn. Try asking your question after class, starting with, “Could I please ask for a quick explanation of ...?” This shows you value their time. F．Start small. You don’t need a long conversation. Just a “hello,” or a simple question like “Did you enjoy today’s activity?” can be a great first step. 26. Task 1: Match the suggestions with the concerns. Tom: ________ Mia: ________ Alex: ________ Daniel: ________ Emma: ________ 27. Task 2: Choose the best answer. Which section of the school newspaper is this content most likely from? A. Campus News & Events B. Sports & Competitions C. Counsellor’s Corner D. Learning Zone 【答案】26. ①. F ②. A ③. B ④. D ⑤. E 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文展示五位学生Tom、Mia、Alex、Daniel、Emma各自的烦恼，包含社交胆怯、说话伤人、青春痘困扰、考试紧张、不敢向老师求助，并且给出A-F六条对应的辅导建议，最后考查文章属于校报哪个栏目。 【26题详解】 ①根据Tom段落“I just don’t know how to start a conversation.”可知Tom不会开启对话。根据建议F“You don’t need a long conversation. Just a ‘hello,’ or a simple question…”可知F教他简单开口开启交谈，符合题意。 ②根据Mia段落“Sometimes I speak too quickly without thinking and end up hurting others’ feelings…find it really hard to say sorry properly.”可知Mia说话欠考虑，难以恰当道歉。建议A“Before you speak, try taking a moment to think…a sincere and specific apology…”，对应说话三思、真诚道歉。 ③根据Alex段落“I’ve been getting more pimples recently…avoiding photos and social gatherings because of it.”可知Alex 受青春痘困扰、回避社交。建议B“Skin issues are very common during teenage years. Instead of avoiding social situations…”针对青少年皮肤问题给出建议，符合题意。 ④根据Daniel段落“Whenever I have a big test, I get so nervous that my mind goes blank or my heart races.”可知Daniel考试紧张焦虑。建议D.Practise deep breathing exercises before the test to calm your nerves. Also, keep in mind that it’s okay to skip a question and come back to it later.建议他深呼吸等考前减压方法，符合题意。 ⑤根据Emma段落“I’m worried that if I ask for help, I might bother him. So, I usually stay quiet even when I don’t understand something in class.” 可知 Emma 害怕打扰老师，不敢提问。 根据建议E“Teachers are usually happy to help students who show they want to learn. Try asking your question after class…”教她如何向老师请教，符合题意。 【27题详解】 文章是学生心理困惑与辅导建议，属于辅导员专栏。C选项Counsellor’s Corner符合题意。News & Events(校园新闻与活动)、Sports & Competitions(体育与竞赛)、Learning Zone (学习专区) 均不符合文章主题。 B. （12分） Read and choose the best answer. （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案。） Winning awards is always exciting, but can you imagine students winning big prizes just for showing up at school? A school in Manchester, UK, offers students rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers for their perfect attendance records. The school runs a so-called “rewards shop”, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets and compete for those big prizes. Do you think that is a wise move? Yes—it makes school a lot more appealing Giving pupils prizes for good attendance makes them feel that their efforts are valued. This practice can not only motivate students to go to school regularly, but also help them build a positive attitude towards school life. Besides, when students win prizes, they can share them with their family, which in turn can help create a happier atmosphere at home. Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class is exciting—after all, students couldn’t afford to buy them with pocket money. For many years, schools have used systems like reward points to encourage pupils. Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance. No—learning matters more than prizes Receiving a good education has its own benefits—it changes your life for the better. You shouldn’t depend on the hope of winning prizes to make you attend. Worse still, this reward system may distract students from their studies. Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons. Putting in the effort just for the chance to win something might drive students to attend school, but it doesn’t prepare them for the adult world where people are expected to act responsibly. What’s more, offering gifts for good attendance could lead some pupils to go to school even when they’re sick, when they should stay at home and rest. As a matter of fact, over the past two years, some schools that reward pupils have seen their absence rates fall. While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key. 28. What can students in the UK school use to get raffle tickets for big prizes? A. Pocket money from their family. B. Credit points they earn at school. C. Good exam results in all subjects. D. Letters of praise from teachers. 29. Which of the following is NOT a reward mentioned in the passage? A. A bicycle. B. A £100 gift voucher. C. A pizza party for the class. D. A summer camp trip. 30. The underlined word “acknowledge” in the passage probably means ________. A. highlight B. respect C. recognize D. record 31. What is a negative effect of giving big prizes for attendance mentioned in the passage? A. Students may spend too much time choosing prizes. B. It may cause jealousy among students. C. Schools might run out of money to buy prizes. D. Teachers will have to organize the reward system. 32. What is the main focus of the passage? A. To compare different reward systems in UK schools. B. To discuss whether schools should give prizes for good attendance. C. To explain how “rewards shops” work in Manchester. D. To argue that going to school has its own benefits. 33. Based on the passage, which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A. Rewarding attendance with expensive prizes is helpful to students’ motivation. B. Schools should focus only on academic achievements rather than on attendance rates. C. Though rewards may improve attendance, they should not take away from the point of going to school. D. Giving small prizes is acceptable, but large prizes like bikes are improper and should be stopped. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B 32. B 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要围绕学校是否应为学生出勤发放奖励展开讨论，列举了支持与反对的双方观点，并在结尾提出出勤奖励与学习目标应保持平衡的核心结论。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“The school runs a so-called ‘rewards shop’, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets and compete for those big prizes.”可知，学生使用在学校挣得的学分购买抽奖券来获取大奖。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers”和第2段“Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class”可知，文中明确提到了自行车、购物券和披萨派对作为奖励，夏令营旅行未在文中出现。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance.”可知，发放奖品是一种认可学生努力和出勤的创造性方式，recognize意为“认可”。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons.”可知，奖励制度可能导致学生嫉妒同学的奖励，从而分散学习注意力。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第1段“Do you think that is a wise move?”及随后分别通过“Yes”和“No”两部分阐述对学校发放出勤奖励的看法，可知本文的核心是讨论学校是否应为出勤发奖。 【33题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第4段“While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key.”可知，作者认为虽然奖励能提高出勤率，但学习才是主要目标，不应偏离上学的根本目的。 C. （20分） Choose the best answer to complete the passage.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了犹太男孩Sam在二战纳粹清洗中与家人失散，艰难求生时得到父亲旧识Balwina冒死庇护才得以存活。战后Sam赴美成为社会科学家，研究大屠杀时期救助者与旁观者的差异，一生倡导善意的力量。 【34题详解】 句意：他们强迫所有犹太家庭离开家园，住在10英里外一个拥挤的偏远地区。 结合历史背景与语境，纳粹逼迫犹太家庭离开家园，前往10英里外的区域集中管控，这类区域通常是偏远、便于纳粹集中管制的隔离地带。remote“偏远的”，符合语境。quiet“安静的”、dirty“肮脏的”、small“小的”均不符。 【35题详解】 句意：他抓起衣服，开始了孤独的求生挣扎。 Sam独自流浪、睡畜棚、吃野果，是为了活下来的艰难挣扎，struggle for survival是初中阶段常见的固定搭配，意为“为生存而挣扎”，应填struggle。life“生命”、adventure“冒险”、trip“旅行”都不符合这种九死一生的处境。 【36题详解】 句意：当她打开门时，她立刻认出了他。 这个女人和Sam的父亲是同学，开门后立刻就认出了他，应填immediately“立刻”最贴合语境。suddenly“突然”、directly“直接地”、finally“最终”都不符合熟人见面认出的状态。 【37题详解】 句意：她把Sam带进屋内，尽管帮助犹太人意味着纳粹可能杀了她。 她把Sam带进屋，尽管帮助犹太人意味着纳粹会处死她，应填even though引导让步状语从句，符合前后的让步逻辑。because“因为”、as if“好像”、so that“以便于”都不匹配此处逻辑。 【38题详解】 句意：三年间，Sam一直在农场劳作，直到战争结束，他都不敢承认自己的真实身份。 三年里Sam一直伪装成农场工人，全程不敢对外承认、暴露自己的真实犹太身份，应填admit与“identity”搭配更恰当。prove“证明”、seek“寻找”、hide“隐藏”都和“不敢暴露身份”的语境相反。 【39题详解】 句意：Sam始终对Balwina心存感激。 Balwina冒生命危险救了Sam，Sam一直对她心怀感激，应填grateful。careful“小心的”、hopeful“有希望的”、faithful“忠诚的”都不符合受恩后的心态。 【40题详解】 句意：为什么Balwina冒死救他而其他人却会拒绝他？ 根据上下文，他一直疑惑：为什么Balwina冒死救他，而其他人可能会把他拒之门外？turn sb. away意为“把某人拒之门外”，符合当时普通人怕惹祸的选择，应填turned him away。give sb. a hand“帮忙”、cheer sb. up“使振作”、look down on sb.“看不起”都不符合语境。 【41题详解】 句意：他比较了那些帮助犹太人的人和那些没有帮助的人。 Sam和妻子研究大屠杀时期的人群，把帮助犹太人的人和没有帮忙的人做对比，才得出后续的不同特征结论，应填compared。question“质疑”、judge“评判”、separate“分离”都不符合研究方法的描述。 【42题详解】 句意：另一方面，非救助者往往感到太害怕或不确定。 前文讲施救者的特质：关心他人、信任别人，后文讲未施救者的特质：害怕、只关注自己，是两类人的对比，应填On the other hand“另一方面”用于引出相对的另一类情况。As a result“结果”、In addition“此外”、After all“毕竟”都不匹配对比逻辑。 【43题详解】 句意：尽管目睹了儿时的恐怖景象，善举能够给予人们希望，并助力打造一个更充满关爱的世界。 Sam小时候亲眼目睹纳粹迫害家人、四处流浪的大屠杀恐怖经历，应填horror“恐怖的”最贴合他童年见证的暴行。danger“危险”、pressure“压力”、problems“问题”都不足以形容大屠杀的残酷程度。 D. （16分） Read the passage and complete the tasks. （根据短文内容完成任务。） During Ben Cloud’s second year in high school, he took a few business classes. They sparked his interest and filled his head with ideas to start his own business. He started by naturally thinking about things he liked. First, it was clothing. Then coffee. He thought about opening a coffee shop or a clothing shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly. Some might stop right there and keep going about their regular life. But Ben is different. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there were possibilities to do this without too much money or risk. So he turned to the internet and started doing research. He finally found a coffee bean supplier. He had to learn about all of the legalities (法律方面) of starting a business. They seemed difficult to him but he never gave up. To set up his own business, Ben began testing different versions of beans with his friends and family, getting the feedback and improving his products. He only had a little bit of savings from his birthdays and part-time jobs over the years, but he didn’t want to borrow money to start his business. Without enough money, he bartered with designers to help him with his logo, product pictures, and website design. He would supply them with coffee in exchange for their design talent! Six months later, he managed to set up his website for selling coffee. After launching (正式推出) his website, Ben started to sell his coffee at his local high school coffee shop, then a restaurant, and then local shops. Ben is now working on expanding (扩大) sales of his coffee to grocery stores and more in his local community. He does have plans to expand nationally. Ben Cloud is an excellent example of a young person pushing himself to become the best he can be. In a recent interview, he told reporters that his next goal is to help other kids and show them how they might start their own business. Task 1: Answer the questions. 44. Did Ben Cloud run a coffee shop or a clothing shop during his second year in high school? ____________________________________________________________________ 45. Why did Ben Cloud choose to sell his own coffee brand? ____________________________________________________________________ 46. What does the underlined word “bartered” in paragraph 3 probably mean? ____________________________________________________________________ 47. Where did Ben sell his coffee first after setting up his website? ____________________________________________________________________ 48. What kind of person is Ben Cloud from the last paragraph? (No more than 6 words) ____________________________________________________________________ Task 2: 49. In a recent interview, Ben Cloud mentioned his goal to help other kids. Suppose you were Ben, what would you say in about 30 words? (At least 2 points) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】44. No, he didn’t. 45. Because it didn’t require too much money or risk. 46. Exchange. 47. At his local high school coffee shop. 48. He is helpful and kind. 49. First, you should find what you like and research it well on the internet. Second, never give up when facing difficulties and try to solve problems creatively with less money. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了高中生Ben Cloud如何通过自己的努力、研究和创意，在不花费太多资金的情况下创立自己的咖啡品牌，并计划帮助其他孩子创业的故事。 【44题详解】 根据文章第1段“He thought about opening a coffee shop or a clothing shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly.（他想过开咖啡店或服装店。但这两个想法似乎太难且成本太高。）”可知，他在高二时并未开设这两种店铺，只是有过想法。答案需做否定回答。 【45题详解】 根据文章第2段“He felt like there were possibilities to do this without too much money or risk.（他觉得这样做有可能不需要太多的钱或风险。）”可知，他选择售卖自有品牌咖啡是因为资金和风险要求较低。可以引用原文信息作答。 【46题详解】 根据文章第3段“He would supply them with coffee in exchange for their design talent!（他将为他们提供咖啡以交换他们的设计才华！）”可知，该词意为用咖啡交换设计服务，即“交换”。 【47题详解】 根据文章第4段“After launching his website, Ben started to sell his coffee at his local high school coffee shop...（推出网站后，本开始在当地高中咖啡店销售他的咖啡⋯⋯）”可知，网站建立后，他最先销售的地点是高中咖啡店。答案是原文直接信息。 【48题详解】 根据文章第5段“...his next goal is to help other kids and show them how they might start their own business.（他的下一个目标是帮助其他孩子，并向他们展示如何开始自己的生意。）”可知，他乐于助人且善良。故填He is helpful and kind. 【49题详解】 本题为开放性表达题，要求至少两点建议，词数控制在30词左右。需结合Ben的成功经验（兴趣导向、调查研究、坚持不放弃、创意解决资金问题）进行作答。答案不唯一，合理作答即可。 VI.

Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（60分） A. （12分） Our concerns Tom: I feel shy when meeting new people. During breaks, I often stay by myself, even though I really wish I could join others. I just don’t know how to start a conversation. Mia: Sometimes I speak too quickly without thinking and end up hurting others’ feelings. I always regret it later but find it really hard to say sorry properly. Alex: I’ve been getting more pimples recently, and it really bothers me. I feel like everyone is staring at my face, and I’ve even started avoiding photos and social gatherings because of it. Daniel: Whenever I have a big test, I get so nervous that my mind goes blank or my heart races. I know the material when I study, but during the exam, I just panic and forget everything. Emma: My teacher seems very serious and busy all the time. I’m worried that if I ask for help, I might bother him. So, I usually stay quiet even when I don’t understand something in class. Our suggestions A．Before you speak, try taking a moment to think. If you do hurt someone, a sincere and specific apology like “I’m sorry I said that” or “That was thoughtless of me” can make a big difference. B．Skin issues are very common during teenage years. Instead of avoiding social situations, try following a healthy skincare routine and remind yourself that people focus far less on your skin than on who you are. C．Joining a study group or a club is a great way to make friends and learn from others. You are likely to find students with common interests there. D．Practise deep breathing exercises before the test to calm your nerves. Also, keep in mind that it’s okay to skip a question and come back to it later. E．Teachers are usually happy to help students who show they want to learn. Try asking your question after class, starting with, “Could I please ask for a quick explanation of ...?” This shows you value their time. F．Start small. You don’t need a long conversation. Just a “hello,” or a simple question like “Did you enjoy today’s activity?” can be a great first step. 26. Task 1: Match the suggestions with the concerns. Tom: ________ Mia: ________ Alex: ________ Daniel: ________ Emma: ________ 27. Task 2: Choose the best answer. Which section of the school newspaper is this content most likely from? A. Campus News & Events B. Sports & Competitions C. Counsellor’s Corner D. Learning Zone B. （12分） Read and choose the best answer. （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案。） Winning awards is always exciting, but can you imagine students winning big prizes just for showing up at school? A school in Manchester, UK, offers students rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers for their perfect attendance records. The school runs a so-called “rewards shop”, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets and compete for those big prizes. Do you think that is a wise move? Yes—it makes school a lot more appealing Giving pupils prizes for good attendance makes them feel that their efforts are valued. This practice can not only motivate students to go to school regularly, but also help them build a positive attitude towards school life. Besides, when students win prizes, they can share them with their family, which in turn can help create a happier atmosphere at home. Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class is exciting—after all, students couldn’t afford to buy them with pocket money. For many years, schools have used systems like reward points to encourage pupils. Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance. No—learning matters more than prizes Receiving a good education has its own benefits—it changes your life for the better. You shouldn’t depend on the hope of winning prizes to make you attend. Worse still, this reward system may distract students from their studies. Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons. Putting in the effort just for the chance to win something might drive students to attend school, but it doesn’t prepare them for the adult world where people are expected to act responsibly. What’s more, offering gifts for good attendance could lead some pupils to go to school even when they’re sick, when they should stay at home and rest. As a matter of fact, over the past two years, some schools that reward pupils have seen their absence rates fall. While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key. 28. What can students in the UK school use to get raffle tickets for big prizes? A. Pocket money from their family. B. Credit points they earn at school. C. Good exam results in all subjects. D. Letters of praise from teachers. 29. Which of the following is NOT a reward mentioned in the passage? A. A bicycle. B. A £100 gift voucher. C. A pizza party for the class. D. A summer camp trip. 30. The underlined word “acknowledge” in the passage probably means ________. A. highlight B. respect C. recognize D. record 31. What is a negative effect of giving big prizes for attendance mentioned in the passage? A. Students may spend too much time choosing prizes. B. It may cause jealousy among students. C. Schools might run out of money to buy prizes. D. Teachers will have to organize the reward system. 32. What is the main focus of the passage? A. To compare different reward systems in UK schools. B. To discuss whether schools should give prizes for good attendance. C. To explain how “rewards shops” work in Manchester. D. To argue that going to school has its own benefits. 33. Based on the passage, which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A. Rewarding attendance with expensive prizes is helpful to students’ motivation. B. Schools should focus only on academic achievements rather than on attendance rates. C. Though rewards may improve attendance, they should not take away from the point of going to school. D. Giving small prizes is acceptable, but large prizes like bikes are improper and should be stopped. C. （20分） Choose the best answer to complete the passage.
