A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了科林独自在山里骑行的惊险经历。他带了防熊喷雾，不幸喷雾在路上遗失。夜晚他在山中搭帐篷露营，第二天继续骑行时，在弯道遇到一头大熊。他无法快速逃跑，尝试用登山杖阻挡，又按照野生动物书籍的知识，发出柔和安抚的哼声。他扔出一块石头吸引熊的注意力，趁机骑车脱险。平安回家后，他感悟这件事让他懂得自然的力量和做好准备的重要性。 【11题详解】 句意：不幸的是，喷雾从他口袋的某个地方掉了出去，他甚至都没有注意到！ 根据后文“the spray dropped out of his pocket somewhere and he didn’t even notice!”可知防熊喷雾弄丢是一件倒霉的事。Unluckily意为“不幸地”，符合语境。Finally“最后”、Suddenly“突然”、Especially“尤其”，均不符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：搭好帐篷之后，他钻进睡袋，经过一天的骑行，疲惫却开心。 根据前文“Colin searched for a good place to camp. Finally, he picked a dry area under a tall pine tree.”可知他选好露营地之后搭建帐篷。putting up意为“搭建”，符合语境。getting over“克服”、taking in“吸收”、working out“算出”，均不符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：第二天早上，科林继续他的旅程。 根据前文“After putting up his tent, he climbed into his sleeping bag”，前一晚已经停下露营，第二天接着骑行。continued意为“继续”，符合语境。ended“结束”、shortened“缩短”、started“开始”，均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：当他转过一个急转弯，他突然拉刹车。 根据后文“There, just 100 feet before him, stood a huge bear!”看到大熊，他需要拉住刹车停下。pulled意为“拉”，符合语境。spared“留出”、divided“分开”、hiked“远足”，均不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：快速逃跑并不是一个好选择，因为熊跑得快得多。 根据后文“as the bear could run much faster”，逃跑的方式行不通。escape意为“逃跑”，符合语境。treat“对待”、fix“修理”、doubt“怀疑”，均不符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：这头庞大的动物开始朝着他的方向移动。 根据前文熊就在前方不远处，开始向科林过来。direction意为“方向”，in one’s direction表示朝着某人的方向，符合语境。manner“方式”、order“命令”、style“风格”，均不符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：科林快速拿出登山杖，用它抵住熊。 根据语境，科林用登山杖对着熊进行阻挡。against意为“抵住、靠着”，符合语境。under“在……下面”、behind“在……后面”、inside“在……里面”，均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：熊在科林周围嗅来嗅去，他甚至能感受到它温热、难闻的气息。 根据常识，熊呼出的气息气味难闻。smelly意为“有臭味的”，符合语境。fresh“新鲜的”、short“短的”、soft“柔软的”，均不符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：于是他开始发出轻柔、安抚性的哼声。 根据前文“Bears hate aggressive behaviors.”，他要避免做出有攻击性的举动，选择安抚的声音。comforting意为“安抚的，令人安心的”，符合语境。scary“吓人的”、loud“大声的”、angry“生气的”，均不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：科林慢慢把手伸进口袋，希望找到有用的东西。 根据当下正被熊靠近的危险处境，他想找到能帮自己脱身的物品。useful意为“有用的”，符合语境。heavy“重的”、colorful“多彩的”、expensive“昂贵的”，均不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：熊的注意力立刻被吸引过去了。 根据前文“He threw it away as far as he could.”，石头被扔出去吸引了熊。attention意为“注意力”，draw one’s attention表示吸引某人注意力，符合语境。taste“味道”、speed“速度”、goal“目标”，均不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：科林知道这是他的机会。 根据后文“He quietly got on his bike and rode away.”，熊被石头吸引，他获得逃跑时机。chance意为“机会”，符合语境。mistake“错误”、duty“责任”、question“问题”，均不符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：他很幸运——熊似乎对石头比对追赶他更感兴趣。 根据固定搭配be interested in，表示对……感兴趣。interested意为“感兴趣的”，符合语境。anxious“焦虑的”、familiar“熟悉的”、bored“无聊的”，均不符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：平安回到家，科林长长地松了一口气，满心宽慰。 根据前文“Back home, safe and sound”，成功脱险之后内心放下重担。relief意为“宽慰，安心”，a sigh of relief表示松一口气，符合语境。fear“恐惧”、surprise“惊讶”、sadness“难过”，均不符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：这件事提醒我们大自然的力量以及做好准备的重要性。 根据全文野外骑行遇险的故事，突出野外出行要提前做好准备。prepared意为“准备好的”，符合语境。honest“诚实的”、patient“耐心的”、fit“健康的”，均不符合语境。 四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列三篇材料，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A A Touch of Magic in Everyday Life Mia’s Paper Wishes Have you ever wished you could keep a beautiful moment forever? Mia folds small paper cranes. Each crane carries a wish from someone—a wish for a friend, a wish for a new start, a wish for a sunny day. When the wind blows, the cranes seem to dance in the air. “Paper is quiet,” Mia says. “But it can hold all our loudest hopes.” When Lights Go Soft Leo paints pictures that change with the light. In daylight, you see a quiet street with empty chairs. At dusk, the chairs fill with people laughing, and windows light up one by one. His work The Quiet Café tells us: A place is never truly empty—it just waits for the right hour to wake up. ______________________ Look at Zoe’s paintings closely. From far away, you see a normal old house. Step closer, and walls melt into green leaves. Doors open into flower paths. Even the floor grows soft grass. In her painting Backyard, an old chair sits under a tree—but if you look carefully, the tree’s branches are actually book pages, and the chair is made of folded letters. 26. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read this text? A. ARTS B. SPORTS C. SCIENCE D. EVENTS 27. What does Mia do with her paper cranes? A. She sells them for money. B. She carries people’s wishes in them. C. She sends them to Café. D. She uses them to build houses. 28. Why is The Quiet Café mentioned in the text? A. To introduce a popular coffee shop. B. To tell us how to paint a quiet street. C. To encourage people to drink more coffee. D. To show how the paintings change with light. 29. What would be the best heading for the third piece of news? A. Books on the Tree B. Magic Hidden in Plain Sight C. A Trip to the Old House D. Fun Backyard with Chairs 30. Which sentence would the three artists probably agree with? A. “Art must be expensive to be good.” B. “Only famous artists can create magic.” C. “Magic is hiding in the ordinary things around us.” D. “Paintings should never make people confused.” 【答案】26. A 27. B 28. D 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“日常生活中的一抹魔力”主题，分别介绍了米娅的许愿纸鹤、利奥的随光变化绘画、佐伊的藏有创意细节的绘画三类艺术创作，展现了平凡事物中蕴含的艺术巧思与奇妙感。 【26题详解】 第一段提到：“Mia folds small paper cranes.”，第二段提到：“Leo paints pictures that change with the light.”第三段提到：“Look at Zoe’s paintings closely.”，表明全文介绍的都是艺术相关的创作内容，可推知该文章会出现在报纸的ARTS（艺术）板块。 【27题详解】 第一段提到：“Each crane carries a wish from someone—a wish for a friend, a wish for a new start, a wish for a sunny day.”，表明米娅的纸鹤承载着人们的愿望。 【28题详解】 第二段提到：“ Leo paints pictures that change with the light. In daylight, you see a quiet street with empty chairs. At dusk, the chairs fill with people laughing, and windows light up one by one. His work The Quiet Café tells us: A place is never truly empty—it just waits for the right hour to wake up.”，表明作者提及《安静的咖啡馆》这幅作品，是为了展示利奥的绘画如何随光线变化呈现不同的内容。 【29题详解】 第三段提到：“From far away, you see a normal old house. Step closer, and walls melt into green leaves. Doors open into flower paths. Even the floor grows soft grass. In her painting Backyard, an old chair sits under a tree—but if you look carefully, the tree’s branches are actually book pages, and the chair is made of folded letters.”，表明佐伊的画看似是普通的房屋场景，凑近后能发现很多充满魔力的创意细节，“Magic Hidden in Plain Sight（藏在明处的魔力）”最贴合这部分内容的核心。 【30题详解】 结合三部分内容：米娅用普通的纸折出承载愿望的千纸鹤，利奥用绘画展现日常光线变化带来的不同场景，佐伊在看似普通的房屋绘画中藏满创意细节，可推知三位艺术家都认同“魔力藏在我们身边的普通事物中”这一观点。 B Wang Tingrui’s story with digital fonts (电子字体) began with an old book. He scanned (扫描) each character (汉字), turned them into digital forms, and called the font “Kinghwa Old Songti.” His work shows the spirit of young people who try to save the old shapes of Chinese characters and share them with the world. To understand his effort, we need to look at the history of printing. In the Tang Dynasty, people started to use movable type (印刷术). Centuries later, Gutenberg created metal movable type in Europe, and this idea came back to East Asia in the nineteenth century. From the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century, lead types (铅字块) flourished in East Asia. Two main styles, Songti and Heiti, became the most common. They were widely used in newspapers and textbooks. These fonts made reading clearer and became part of daily life. But with the rise of digital publishing, lead types soon disappeared. Many old ones were thrown away or changed into other things. ★. Shops let visitors try printing with them, and companies made digital copies. However, many readers felt these copies were not the same as the real ones, because they lost the special marks of hand work. Today, other “font archaeologists (考古学家)” like Wang continue this work. They scan old books, save rare characters, and even use AI to rebuild missing ones. For them, fonts are not just tools for writing, but also cultural treasures that carry memories and value. Wang still adds new characters to his digital font. Every discovery keeps part of Chinese tradition alive. Every font saved is a memory kept, and a future protected. 31. Which shows the development of the fonts mentioned in the passage? A. Metal movable type → Movable type → Digital fonts. B. Movable type → Metal movable type → Digital fonts. C. Digital fonts → Movable type → Metal movable type. D. Movable type → Digital fonts → Metal movable type. 32. Which sentence uses “flourish” the same way as the underlined word? A. Online short videos flourished fast among the young. B. Wild mushrooms flourish after rain, but don’t eat them. C. He flourished his new car proudly in the neighborhood. D. She opened the gift box with a flourish before her friends. 33. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Some pieces were well kept B. People no longer loved printing C. The types were very useless D. Digital copies were easy to make 34. What drove Wang to create “Kinghwa Old Songti”? A. A task to produce new art styles. B. A plan to follow foreign printers. C. A wish to protect traditional culture. D. A need to make money from business. 35. What is the writer’s opinion on Wang’s work? A. Doubtful B. Surprised C. Worried D. Supportive 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了王廷瑞扫描汉字制作电子字体“Kinghwa Old Songti”的故事，回顾了印刷术从活字到铅字再到数字字体的发展历程，强调了保护传统字体作为文化宝藏的重要性。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段至第四段“In the Tang Dynasty, people started to use movable type… Centuries later, Gutenberg created metal movable type… From the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century, lead types… flourished… But with the rise of digital publishing…”可知字体发展顺序为活字印刷术、金属活字印刷术、数字字体。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“lead types flourished in East Asia. Two main styles… became the most common. They were widely used…”可知此处flourish意为“繁荣、流行”。选项 A“Online short videos flourished fast among the young.”中flourish也表示在年轻人中迅速流行，用法与原文一致。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many old ones were thrown away or changed into other things.”以及后文“Shops let visitors try printing with them…”可知前后存在转折关系，虽然许多被扔掉，但仍有部分被保存下来用于体验，因此“Some pieces were well kept”符合语境逻辑。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“His work shows the spirit of young people who try to save the old shapes of Chinese characters and share them with the world.”以及第五段“fonts are not just tools for writing, but also cultural treasures…”可知王廷瑞的动力是保护传统文化。 【35题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“Every discovery keeps part of Chinese tradition alive. Every font saved is a memory kept, and a future protected.”以及全文对王廷瑞工作的描述如“cultural treasures”可知作者对王廷瑞的工作持支持态度。 C The Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis. are colourful lights that dance across the night sky in countries near the North Pole (北极), such as Norway, Canada and Iceland and even parts of northern China like Mohe. The amazing Northern Lights actually begin with the Sun. Sometimes the Sun has powerful storms called solar storms (太阳风暴). These storms send out very hot gas made up of tiny charged particles (微小的带电粒子). Some of them reach Earth after a very very long journey. When they enter our atmosphere (大气层), they hit different gases. The energy from these hits causes the gases to glow, creating the beautiful light we see at night. The two most common gases in our atmosphere are nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen. These gases create different colors when hit by particles: oxygen produces green and red light, while nitrogen gives off blue and purple. Although green is the most common colour, really big solar storms can bring out bright red colors. The Northern Lights are the most active in winter. Because at that time, the nights are long and dark. Some places even have polar night which means 24 hours of darkness — perfect for catching the lights. The best time of night is between 10 pm and 2 am. Solar activity is at its highest during this time. In the past, the lights were hard to see in places like the UK. But recently, they’ve become more common because the Sun has reached the most active part of its 11-year cycle. However, the Northern Lights don’t always look as bright as they do in photos. That’s because cameras can collect more light than our eyes. For centuries, the Northern Lights have been seen as a symbol of hope and magic. Many people believe they carry good wishes from the sky, making the moment of seeing them feel like a gentle, unforgettable blessing. 36. According to paragraph 2, what is the correct order of how the Northern Lights form? ①The particles hit the gases in the air. ②The sun sends out tiny particles. ③The gases glow and create lights. ④The particles fly to the earth. A. ④②①③ B. ②①④③ C. ②④①③ D. ①②④③ 37. When are bright red colors most likely to appear in the Northern Lights? A. When particles hit the nitrogen in the air. B. When it is between 10 p. m and 2 a. m. C. When strong solar storms take place. D. When solar activity is at its weakest. 38. Why don’t the Northern Lights look as bright as they do in photos? A. The lights are just bright for the cameras. B. The Sun reaches the most active part. C. Cameras can always take the best pictures. D. Our eyes collect less light than cameras. 39. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. Old stories about the Northern Lights. B. How to protect our atmosphere. C. Different kinds of solar systems. D. The history of good wishes. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Secret of Our Atmosphere B. The Amazing Northern Lights C. The Colors of the Northern Lights D. The Powerful Solar Storms 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北极光的定义、形成原理、呈现不同颜色的原因、最佳观测时间以及其文化寓意。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“The amazing Northern Lights...These storms send out very hot gas...Some of them reach Earth...When they enter our atmosphere...they hit different gases. The energy from these hits causes the gases to glow...”，可知，形成顺序为：太阳发出粒子②，粒子飞向地球④，粒子撞击气体①，气体发光③。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。第三段表明“Although green is the most common colour, really big solar storms can bring out bright red colors.”，可知，当强烈的太阳风暴发生时，最可能出现明亮的红色。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。第四段指出“That’s because cameras can collect more light than our eyes.”，可知，北极光看起来不如照片中明亮是因为人眼收集的光线比相机少。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。第五段说明“For centuries, the Northern Lights have been seen as a symbol of hope and magic. Many people believe they carry good wishes from the sky...”，可知，文章最后提到了北极光的历史象征和人们的信念，接下来最有可能讲述关于北极光的古老故事。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。纵观全文，文章围绕北极光的定义、成因、颜色、观测及文化意义展开，核心对象是北极光。因此“The Amazing Northern Lights”最符合文章标题。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文完整、通顺。每个单词或短语仅用一次，有两项多余。 medicine/ smooth/ value/ cut down/ high/ master/ support Hongdoushan is a nationally protected rare tree species (稀有树种) in China.

Mia folds small paper cranes. Each crane carries a wish from someone—a wish for a friend, a wish for a new start, a wish for a sunny day. When the wind blows, the cranes seem to dance in the air. “Paper is quiet,” Mia says. “But it can hold all our loudest hopes.” When Lights Go Soft Leo paints pictures that change with the light. In daylight, you see a quiet street with empty chairs. At dusk, the chairs fill with people laughing, and windows light up one by one. His work The Quiet Café tells us: A place is never truly empty—it just waits for the right hour to wake up. ______________________ Look at Zoe’s paintings closely. From far away, you see a normal old house. Step closer, and walls melt into green leaves. Doors open into flower paths. Even the floor grows soft grass. In her painting Backyard, an old chair sits under a tree—but if you look carefully, the tree’s branches are actually book pages, and the chair is made of folded letters. 26. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read this text? A. ARTS B. SPORTS C. SCIENCE D. EVENTS 27. What does Mia do with her paper cranes? A. She sells them for money. B. She carries people’s wishes in them. C. She sends them to Café. D. She uses them to build houses. 28. Why is The Quiet Café mentioned in the text? A. To introduce a popular coffee shop. B. To tell us how to paint a quiet street. C. To encourage people to drink more coffee. D. To show how the paintings change with light. 29. What would be the best heading for the third piece of news? A. Books on the Tree B. Magic Hidden in Plain Sight C. A Trip to the Old House D. Fun Backyard with Chairs 30. Which sentence would the three artists probably agree with? A. “Art must be expensive to be good.” B. “Only famous artists can create magic.” C. “Magic is hiding in the ordinary things around us.” D. “Paintings should never make people confused.” B Wang Tingrui’s story with digital fonts (电子字体) began with an old book. He scanned (扫描) each character (汉字), turned them into digital forms, and called the font “Kinghwa Old Songti.” His work shows the spirit of young people who try to save the old shapes of Chinese characters and share them with the world. To understand his effort, we need to look at the history of printing. In the Tang Dynasty, people started to use movable type (印刷术). Centuries later, Gutenberg created metal movable type in Europe, and this idea came back to East Asia in the nineteenth century. From the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century, lead types (铅字块) flourished in East Asia. Two main styles, Songti and Heiti, became the most common. They were widely used in newspapers and textbooks. These fonts made reading clearer and became part of daily life. But with the rise of digital publishing, lead types soon disappeared. Many old ones were thrown away or changed into other things. ★. Shops let visitors try printing with them, and companies made digital copies. However, many readers felt these copies were not the same as the real ones, because they lost the special marks of hand work. Today, other “font archaeologists (考古学家)” like Wang continue this work. They scan old books, save rare characters, and even use AI to rebuild missing ones. For them, fonts are not just tools for writing, but also cultural treasures that carry memories and value. Wang still adds new characters to his digital font. Every discovery keeps part of Chinese tradition alive. Every font saved is a memory kept, and a future protected. 31. Which shows the development of the fonts mentioned in the passage? A. Metal movable type → Movable type → Digital fonts. B. Movable type → Metal movable type → Digital fonts. C. Digital fonts → Movable type → Metal movable type. D. Movable type → Digital fonts → Metal movable type. 32. Which sentence uses “flourish” the same way as the underlined word? A. Online short videos flourished fast among the young. B. Wild mushrooms flourish after rain, but don’t eat them. C. He flourished his new car proudly in the neighborhood. D. She opened the gift box with a flourish before her friends. 33. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Some pieces were well kept B. People no longer loved printing C. The types were very useless D. Digital copies were easy to make 34. What drove Wang to create “Kinghwa Old Songti”? A. A task to produce new art styles. B. A plan to follow foreign printers. C. A wish to protect traditional culture. D. A need to make money from business. 35. What is the writer’s opinion on Wang’s work? A. Doubtful B. Surprised C. Worried D. Supportive C The Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis. are colourful lights that dance across the night sky in countries near the North Pole (北极), such as Norway, Canada and Iceland and even parts of northern China like Mohe. The amazing Northern Lights actually begin with the Sun. Sometimes the Sun has powerful storms called solar storms (太阳风暴). These storms send out very hot gas made up of tiny charged particles (微小的带电粒子). Some of them reach Earth after a very very long journey. When they enter our atmosphere (大气层), they hit different gases. The energy from these hits causes the gases to glow, creating the beautiful light we see at night. The two most common gases in our atmosphere are nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen. These gases create different colors when hit by particles: oxygen produces green and red light, while nitrogen gives off blue and purple. Although green is the most common colour, really big solar storms can bring out bright red colors. The Northern Lights are the most active in winter. Because at that time, the nights are long and dark. Some places even have polar night which means 24 hours of darkness — perfect for catching the lights. The best time of night is between 10 pm and 2 am. Solar activity is at its highest during this time. In the past, the lights were hard to see in places like the UK. But recently, they’ve become more common because the Sun has reached the most active part of its 11-year cycle. However, the Northern Lights don’t always look as bright as they do in photos. That’s because cameras can collect more light than our eyes. For centuries, the Northern Lights have been seen as a symbol of hope and magic. Many people believe they carry good wishes from the sky, making the moment of seeing them feel like a gentle, unforgettable blessing. 36. According to paragraph 2, what is the correct order of how the Northern Lights form? ①The particles hit the gases in the air. ②The sun sends out tiny particles. ③The gases glow and create lights. ④The particles fly to the earth. A. ④②①③ B. ②①④③ C. ②④①③ D. ①②④③ 37. When are bright red colors most likely to appear in the Northern Lights? A. When particles hit the nitrogen in the air. B. When it is between 10 p. m and 2 a. m. C. When strong solar storms take place. D. When solar activity is at its weakest. 38. Why don’t the Northern Lights look as bright as they do in photos? A. The lights are just bright for the cameras. B. The Sun reaches the most active part. C. Cameras can always take the best pictures. D. Our eyes collect less light than cameras. 39. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. Old stories about the Northern Lights. B. How to protect our atmosphere. C. Different kinds of solar systems. D. The history of good wishes. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Secret of Our Atmosphere B. The Amazing Northern Lights C. The Colors of the Northern Lights D.
