Friends help us a lot. ”A friend in need is a friend indeed.“ Friends also influence (影响) us a lot.What’s near cinnabar (朱砂) goes red, and what’s next to ink turns black.” This Chinese idea has a similar meaning to the English saying, “▲” And poets write about friendships. Let’s read two poems by Chinese and Western writers.
To Wang LunBy Li Bai
Li Bai, sits in a boat about to go.
When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow.
However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be,
It is not so deep, O Wang Lun, as your love for me.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)

By Robert Frost
When a friend calls me from the road

And walk over to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world. But do you know that tea originally came from China? The history of Chinese tea is more than 3,000 years old.
According to a Chinese legend, Emperor Shennong discovered tea in 2737 BC. One day, he was boiling water under a tree. Some leaves fell into the water and made it smell sweet. He drank the water and found it refreshing. From then on, tea became a popular drink in China.
There are many kinds of Chinese tea. The most famous ones are green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and white tea. Green tea is the most popular in China. It is made from unfermented leaves and has a fresh, light taste. Black tea is more popular in Western countries. It is fully fermented and has a stronger taste.
Drinking tea is not only about the drink itself. It is also an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional Chinese tea ceremony is a slow and peaceful process. People enjoy the smell, the taste, and the quiet time with friends or family. In China, when you visit a friend, it is polite to share a cup of tea together.
Today, Chinese tea is popular all over the world. Many people drink it for its health benefits. Studies show that drinking tea can help people relax and stay healthy.
29.When did Emperor Shennong discover tea according to the Chinese legend?
A.In 2737 BC. B.In 1737 BC. C.In 2377 BC. D.In 3732 BC.
30.Which of the following is the most popular tea in China?
A.Black tea. B.Green tea. C.Oolong tea. D.White tea.
31.What is the traditional Chinese tea ceremony like?
A.Fast and exciting. B.Slow and peaceful.

①Many people think that language makes humans different from other animals. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, said in 1948 that people couldn’t think without language.
②However, a recent study shows that language and thinking are actually “much more independent (独立的)” than we believed.
③The study by scientists from the US tried to find out the language-thinking relationship in two ways. First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal (非语言的),” Evelina Fedorenko told ZME Science.
④The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) to study the brains of healthy people. When they were working on non-verbal tasks like planning, the language parts of their brains were mostly not working.
⑤So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication (沟通).
⑥“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world,” Fedorenko said. Without enough time to go everywhere themselves, humans have to share information with the help of language to learn more about the world.
⑦Although we don’t need language to think, the way we speak can greatly decide how we think. For example, “He fired the gun.” in English is usually expressed as “The gun went off.” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to care about the person, not the tool, than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today.
33.According to the passage, what might a man with global aphasia be able to do?
①learn a foreign language ②work as a teacher ③tell kids stories
④use a pen ⑤work out a math problem ⑥cry or laugh
A.①③⑤ B.③④⑤ C.④⑤⑥ D.②⑤⑥
34.Which idea do you think the writer will agree with?
A.Different languages will make people think the same way.
B.Speaking more languages can make people become smarter.
C.The language parts of the brain work for tasks like planning.
D.Language makes it easier for humans to learn about the world.
35.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
36.Which of the following is similar to the role of language in thinking?
A.Water to fish: without water, fish will not be able to live.
B.A map to a trip: a map is helpful but not necessary during a trip.
C.Summer to winter: they won’t show up together in the same place.
D.Two keys to the same door: the two keys can take each other’s place.
D
How to make festive gift tags (标签)?
In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste.
Last year, I created some free templates for reusable, zero-waste embroidered (刺绣) gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) up some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes, then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps:
· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.
If you’re making the tags in a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them in felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with tailor chalk.
· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a back stitch to create the design.
If you’re stitching them in felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, then get away the paper at the end. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card as you do this. It might take a little practice to get a good feel for it.
· Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want.
· Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.
· Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts.
The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!
37.Why did the writer start making embroidered gift tags?
A.Because it was a fashionable thing to do.
B.Because it helped reduce waste in daily life.
C.Because they were cheaper than bought tags.
D.Because they were required by friends.
38.What does the word “template” in the passage most probably mean?
A.A kind of special paper for writing. B.A ready-made design used as a guide.
C.A tool for making embroidery easier. D.A material for making beautiful gifts.
39.What is the correct order of making the gift tags?
a. Stitch the design following the dots
b. Print out and cut the template
c. Tie a loop to the top of the tag
d. Tie off the ends and cut extra thread
A.a-b-d-c B.b-d-a-c C.b-a-d-c D.a-d-b-c
40.How does the writer feel about making these gift tags?
A.It is difficult but worthwhile. B.It is interesting but tiring.
C.It is enjoyable and relaxing. D.It is expensive but interesting.
四、信息还原(共5小题,每道题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项 (选项中有一项为多余选项)。
What will happen after you bring some beautiful flowers home? They’ll soon dry up and die. It is a sad fact. But luckily, there is a good way that can help avoid the problem. You can press them and keep them forever.
41 Anna Zakirova is always interested in doing this for a long time. The Russian artist loved nature when she was a young girl. She liked all kinds of vegetables and flowers. Seven years ago, she began growing flowers in her garden. She was interested in keeping the color and beauty of the flowers. After trying out several different ways, she found that pressing worked best.
The artist carefully presses each flower. Once the flowers are dry, she arranges them on a piece of paper. 42 The dried flowers are then put inside glass frames. They can be put up on your wall after it. Then you can enjoy the beauty of springtime all year round.
If you want to keep your favorite flowers alive, why not do it yourself? 43 It also makes you feel closer to nature. The process of making dried flowers is very relaxing. “It gives you the joy of talking with nature and creating beauty,” says Zakirova. Besides, pressing flowers is not just a way to save flowers. 44 For example, you can use pressed flowers to decorate cards, notebooks or even phone cases. It turns simple items into unique works full of natural beauty.
Some people may worry that pressing flowers is hard to do. 45 You just need a heavy book, some absorbent paper and your patience. Put the flower between two pieces of absorbent paper, place the book on top, and wait. In about a week, you’ll get a beautiful pressed flower.
A.In fact, it’s much easier than most people think.
B.Pressing flowers is not a new method, and many people have tried it.
C.After arranging, she uses special glue to fix the flowers on the paper.
D.It also lets you create more interesting things.
E.It helps you keep your favorite flowers and calms your mind.
F.This process needs a gentle touch to keep the flower petals safe.

It felt like a dream come true to Arman from Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). He was the 46 (win) of the Kazakhstan National Chinese Language Contest, and when his sister returned home from her university study abroad, she was 47 (surprise) to see his gold medal on the wall. She had always encouraged Arman, but even she didn’t expect such a great achievement.
Rewinding (倒带) to a year ago, Arman became 48 (great) interested in the Chinese culture after watching a thrilling kung fu movie. The beautiful language and rich history attracted him, so he started learning basic phrases online. Soon, he decided 49 (take) part in the annual Chinese competition at school, hoping to challenge himself. But the path 50 (not be) easy. At first, he wasn’t chosen for the school team because his pronunciation was weak. However, he didn’t give up. He believed in 51 (he) and practiced every day after classes, repeating words until they sounded perfect.
With the help of his sister, who had studied Chinese herself, he 52 (improve) quickly. She spent hours tutoring him, sharing her textbooks, and even cooking dumplings while they reviewed vocabulary. Her support was invaluable. Finally, after 53 (month) of hard work, he won a ten-day free trip to Beijing as the top prize. How exciting it is to explore the Great Wall and speak with locals!
As Chinese is becoming 54 (popular) than many other languages globally, his experience shows that perseverance pays off. For any student facing doubts, remember: start small, seek help, and never stop believing, and you will be 55 (success).
六、首字母填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,完成短文。
Recently, I visited my former classmate Leo in his new home, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Nowadays, he would like to spend his h 56 and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the j 57 of DIY home repairs. This means that if anything needs fixing around the house, he will try to do the job h 58 .
Leo showed me his new kitchen that he put together himself, and his newly-painted walls. I asked him w 59 he got the idea to do these things. He told me that it came from a DIY program on TV.
This got me to think about how p 60 DIY programs are in the UK. Each channel (频道) has at least one home or garden makeover (装饰,翻新) show. Some channels are e 61 completely talking about the subject.
I don’t think it’s really s 62 that DIY programs are so welcomed by people. There are two common British sayings—“An Englishman’s home is his castle” and “there’s no place like home”—which show how i 63 their houses are to them. W 64 the economic (经济) changes of the last several years, many people don’t have enough money to buy bigger houses than before. So they are looking at how they can make their houses b 65 without spending a lot of money. DIY, obviously, is the perfect choice.

Cut the paper to make it the same size as the square. Finally, stick the paper to the string square with glue. Now your kite is finished. All you need to do is to tie a long string to the kite so you can fly it. In many countries, there are kite competitions. Hundreds of people come together to show off their kites. In one famous competition, some of the kites are more than three metres tall. They need many strong men to fly them and people use rope instead of string.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了“我”从四岁起克服语言障碍、坚持学习英语并取得优异成绩的经历,传递了“只要用心,没有什么是困难的”的道理。
11.句意:四岁上学时,我连一个英语单词都不懂。
根据后文“I only know Spanish, and English is just a mixture (混合) of sounds.”可知,作者只会西班牙语,对英语完全陌生,因此应选 English“英语”。French“法语”、Vietnamese“越南语”、Spanish“西班牙语”均与后文语境矛盾。
12.句意:我感到很孤独,因为我无法和其他孩子交朋友。
根据“couldn’t make friends with other kids”可知,无法交友会带来孤独感,应选lonely“孤独的”。happy“开心的”、funny“有趣的”、calm“平静的”均不符合无法交友的消极语境。
13.句意:也许我很害羞,所以我从不习惯和别人说话。
根据“never got used to talking with others”可知,不习惯与人交谈通常源于性格害羞,应选shy“害羞的”。friendly“友好的”、smart“聪明的”、cheerful“开朗的”均与不爱说话的行为矛盾。
14.句意:当老师说英语时,单词变得越来越快,然后像龙卷风一样席卷我的大脑。
根据上下文,老师讲英语时,最直接让作者困惑的是单个的语言单位——单词,应选words“单词”。sentences“句子”、stories“故事”、articles“文章”不符合“听不懂基础语言”的语境。
15.句意:当老师说英语时,单词变得越来越快,然后像龙卷风一样席卷我的大脑。
根据“a tornado ripping ____ my mind”的语境,龙卷风式的冲击是“穿过”大脑内部,应选through“穿过(内部)”。outside“在外面”、across“横穿(表面)”、beside“在旁边”均无法体现龙卷风的穿透感。
16.句意:我无法理解(老师说的话)。
根据前文描述,作者完全听不懂老师的英语,因此是“无法理解”,应选unable“无法”。unusual“不寻常的”、unhealthy“不健康的”、uncomfortable“不舒服的”均不符合“听不懂语言”的核心困境。
17.句意:有时我想哭。
根据“confused and didn’t know what to do”的无助情绪,最直接的反应是想哭,应选crying“哭”。laughing“笑”、fighting“打架”、leaving“离开”均与无助困惑的情绪不符。
18.句意:妈妈温柔地看着我,告诉我要有耐心。
根据后文“Learning takes time and effort.”可知,妈妈强调学习需要时间,因此劝作者要有耐心,应选patient“有耐心的”。brave“勇敢的”、trustworthy“可信的”、honest“诚实的”均与“学习需要时间”的语境无关。
19.句意:为了让学习变得有趣,妈妈和我一起唱英文歌,给我讲英文故事。
根据后文“I started to find English full of fun.”可知,妈妈的目的是让学习变得有趣,应选interesting“有趣的”。clear“清晰的”、perfect“完美的”、important“重要的”均不符合“通过唱歌讲故事让学习有乐趣”的语境。
20.句意:他的一点点进步真的给我带来了小小的成就感。
根据“offered him help”和“His little progress”可知,帮助他人取得进步会带来成就感,应选achievement“成就”。humour“幽默”、support“支持”、direction“方向”均与帮助他人进步的结果无关。
21.句意:尽管他一开始觉得说英语很无聊,但他还是很乐意说英语。
根据前后句的转折关系:“乐意开口说”与“一开始觉得无聊”形成让步转折,应选though“尽管”。so“所以”表因果、unless“除非”表条件、or“或者”表选择,均不符合逻辑。
22.句意:这样,我们每年都学越来越多,现在我们都是英语说得很好的人了。
根据前文“speak out English”和“learning more and more every year”可知,两人最终都成了英语说得很好的人,应选speakers“说某种语言的人”。listeners“听众”、writers“作家”、singers“歌手”均与“说英语”的语境无关。
23.句意:我从不放弃。
根据前文妈妈鼓励“not to give up”和作者一直坚持学习的经历,核心原因是从不放弃,应选give up“放弃”。cheer up“振作起来”、pick up“捡起/学会”、take up“开始从事”均与“坚持学习取得成功”的核心无关。
24.句意:日语可能有点难,但我会继续学下去。
根据语境,此处修饰形容词difficult,应选a little bit“有点儿”,可直接修饰形容词。a number of “许多”修饰可数名词复数、a bit of “一点”修饰不可数名词、a few“一些”修饰可数名词复数,均无法修饰形容词difficult。
25.句意:世上无难事,只怕有心人。
根据全文主旨,作者用自己的经历证明只要用心,没有什么困难的事,应选Nothing“没有什么”。Something“某事”、Everything“一切”、Anything“任何事”均不符合“用心则无难事”的核心观点。
三、阅读理解(本题共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
Friends help us a lot. ”A friend in need is a friend indeed.“ Friends also influence (影响) us a lot.What’s near cinnabar (朱砂) goes red, and what’s next to ink turns black.” This Chinese idea has a similar meaning to the English saying, “▲” And poets write about friendships. Let’s read two poems by Chinese and Western writers.
To Wang LunBy Li Bai
Li Bai, sits in a boat about to go.
When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow.
However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be,
It is not so deep, O Wang Lun, as your love for me.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
A Time to Talk
(Adapted Version)
By Robert Frost
When a friend calls me from the road
And slows down his horse,
I don’t stand still and look around
I shout from where I am, “What’s it?”
I throw my hoe (锄头) on the ground,
And walk over to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
26.Which sentence can be put in the blank (quotation marks)?
A.A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.
B.A life without a friend is like a life without a sun.
C.A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
D.If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas (跳蚤).
27.What will Robert Frost do when a friend comes?
A.He will stop to prepare for the visit. B.He will stand still and look around.
C.He will pick up the shovel. D.He will not say anything but work.
28.In which part of a magazine can you read the passage?
A.Health. B.Science. C.Sports. D.Culture.
【答案】26.D 27.A 28.D
【导语】本文通过对比中西方关于友谊的谚语和诗歌,来探讨友谊的本质、影响以及其跨越文化的普世价值。
26.原文提到 “What’s near cinnabar goes red, and what’s next to ink turns black.”,这句中国谚语强调环境或交往的人对个人的影响。选项中,“If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.”意思最为接近,都指与不好的人或事物为伍,自己也会受到负面影响。
27.原文罗伯特·弗罗斯特的诗中写道 “I throw my hoe on the ground, And walk over to the stone wall For a friendly visit.”。这表明他会立刻停下手中的农活去迎接朋友。选项A“他将停下来准备迎接拜访”是对这一行为的合理概括。
28.文章内容围绕友谊这一主题,引用了中英文谚语和诗歌,属于人文社科范畴。因此,这篇文章最有可能出现在杂志的“文化”(Culture)板块。其他选项如健康、科学、体育均与文章主题不符。
B
Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world. But do you know that tea originally came from China? The history of Chinese tea is more than 3,000 years old.
According to a Chinese legend, Emperor Shennong discovered tea in 2737 BC. One day, he was boiling water under a tree. Some leaves fell into the water and made it smell sweet. He drank the water and found it refreshing. From then on, tea became a popular drink in China.

It is made from unfermented leaves and has a fresh, light taste. Black tea is more popular in Western countries. It is fully fermented and has a stronger taste.
Drinking tea is not only about the drink itself. It is also an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional Chinese tea ceremony is a slow and peaceful process. People enjoy the smell, the taste, and the quiet time with friends or family. In China, when you visit a friend, it is polite to share a cup of tea together.

C
①Many people think that language makes humans different from other animals. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, said in 1948 that people couldn’t think without language.
②However, a recent study shows that language and thinking are actually “much more independent (独立的)” than we believed.
③The study by scientists from the US tried to find out the language-thinking relationship in two ways. First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal (非语言的),” Evelina Fedorenko told ZME Science.
④The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) to study the brains of healthy people. When they were working on non-verbal tasks like planning, the language parts of their brains were mostly not working.
⑤So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication (沟通).
⑥“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world,” Fedorenko said. Without enough time to go everywhere themselves, humans have to share information with the help of language to learn more about the world.
⑦Although we don’t need language to think, the way we speak can greatly decide how we think. For example, “He fired the gun.” in English is usually expressed as “The gun went off.” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to care about the person, not the tool, than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today.
33.According to the passage, what might a man with global aphasia be able to do?
①learn a foreign language ②work as a teacher ③tell kids stories
④use a pen ⑤work out a math problem ⑥cry or laugh
A.①③⑤ B.③④⑤ C.④⑤⑥ D.②⑤⑥
34.Which idea do you think the writer will agree with?
A.Different languages will make people think the same way.
B.Speaking more languages can make people become smarter.
C.The language parts of the brain work for tasks like planning.
D.Language makes it easier for humans to learn about the world.
35.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
36.Which of the following is similar to the role of language in thinking?
A.Water to fish: without water, fish will not be able to live.
B.A map to a trip: a map is helpful but not necessary during a trip.
C.Summer to winter: they won’t show up together in the same place.
D.Two keys to the same door: the two keys can take each other’s place.
【答案】33.C 34.D 35.A 36.B
【导语】本文主要探讨了语言和思维之间的关系,介绍了相关研究及结论,包括语言和思维在大脑中独立工作、语言主要用于交流以及语言对思维有影响等内容。
33.推理判断题。根据“First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal”可知,患有完全失语症的人可以完成艰巨的任务,只要命令是非语言的。所以一个患有完全失语症的人能使用钢笔、解一道数学题以及哭或笑,④⑤⑥符合题意。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world”可知,语言使人类更容易了解世界。故选D。
35.篇章结构题。第①段先提出语言和思维的关系;第②段指出研究表明,语言和思维实际上比我们想象的“更加独立”,接着第③④段从语言和思维在大脑中独立工作的角度论述,第⑤⑥段从语言在沟通中起着重要作用的角度进行论述;第⑦段指出,语言对思维有影响。故选A。
36.推理判断题。根据“So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication”可知,语言在思维中起辅助作用,并非唯一决定因素。选项B“旅行地图:在旅行中,地图是有帮助的,但不是必需的。”与之相似。故选B。
D
How to make festive gift tags (标签)?
In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste.
Last year, I created some free templates for reusable, zero-waste embroidered (刺绣) gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) up some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes, then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps:
· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.
If you’re making the tags in a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them in felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with tailor chalk.
· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a back stitch to create the design.
If you’re stitching them in felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, then get away the paper at the end. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card as you do this. It might take a little practice to get a good feel for it.
· Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want.
· Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.
· Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts.
The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!
37.Why did the writer start making embroidered gift tags?
A.Because it was a fashionable thing to do.
B.Because it helped reduce waste in daily life.
C.Because they were cheaper than bought tags.
D.Because they were required by friends.
38.What does the word “template” in the passage most probably mean?
A.A kind of special paper for writing. B.A ready-made design used as a guide.
C.A tool for making embroidery easier. D.A material for making beautiful gifts.
39.What is the correct order of making the gift tags?
a. Stitch the design following the dots
b. Print out and cut the template
c. Tie a loop to the top of the tag
d. Tie off the ends and cut extra thread
A.a-b-d-c B.b-d-a-c C.b-a-d-c D.a-d-b-c
40.How does the writer feel about making these gift tags?
A.It is difficult but worthwhile. B.It is interesting but tiring.
C.It is enjoyable and relaxing. D.It is expensive but interesting.
【答案】37.B 38.B 39.C 40.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要内容是介绍如何制作可重复使用的零浪费刺绣礼物标签,并分享了作者的个人体验和环保理念。
37.细节理解题。根据第一段内容“In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste.”可知,文中开头提到“零浪费生活已成为许多人的生活方式”,且作者说“我有一个有趣的方法来帮助减少一些浪费”,说明初衷是减少浪费。故选B。
38.词句猜测题。根据前文“· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.”和“· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide.”可知,文中提到“打印礼物标签模板”,“按照模板上的点刺绣”。由此可推测,下划线单词“template”最有可能是“一种用作指南的现成设计”。故选B。
39.细节理解题。根据“· Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.…· Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide.…· Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want. · Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread. · Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tags to your gifts.”可知,制作礼品标签的正确步骤是:先打印并裁剪模板(b)→ 按点刺绣(a)→ 打结并剪去多余线头(d)→ 在标签顶部系上挂环(c)。故选C。
40.观点态度题。根据最后一段内容“The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect project. They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!”可知,最后一段提到“这是完美的低投入高效果项目”“适合与朋友一起度过轻松下午”“甚至配上一杯热巧克力更有趣”,可见作者认为这一过程愉悦且放松。故选C。
四、信息还原(共5小题,每道题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项 (选项中有一项为多余选项)。
What will happen after you bring some beautiful flowers home? They’ll soon dry up and die. It is a sad fact. But luckily, there is a good way that can help avoid the problem. You can press them and keep them forever.
41 Anna Zakirova is always interested in doing this for a long time. The Russian artist loved nature when she was a young girl. She liked all kinds of vegetables and flowers. Seven years ago, she began growing flowers in her garden. She was interested in keeping the color and beauty of the flowers. After trying out several different ways, she found that pressing worked best.
The artist carefully presses each flower. Once the flowers are dry, she arranges them on a piece of paper. 42 The dried flowers are then put inside glass frames. They can be put up on your wall after it. Then you can enjoy the beauty of springtime all year round.
If you want to keep your favorite flowers alive, why not do it yourself? 43 It also makes you feel closer to nature. The process of making dried flowers is very relaxing. “It gives you the joy of talking with nature and creating beauty,” says Zakirova. Besides, pressing flowers is not just a way to save flowers. 44 For example, you can use pressed flowers to decorate cards, notebooks or even phone cases. It turns simple items into unique works full of natural beauty.
Some people may worry that pressing flowers is hard to do. 45 You just need a heavy book, some absorbent paper and your patience. Put the flower between two pieces of absorbent paper, place the book on top, and wait. In about a week, you’ll get a beautiful pressed flower.
A.In fact, it’s much easier than most people think.
B.Pressing flowers is not a new method, and many people have tried it.
C.After arranging, she uses special glue to fix the flowers on the paper.
D.It also lets you create more interesting things.
E.It helps you keep your favorite flowers and calms your mind.
F.This process needs a gentle touch to keep the flower petals safe.
【答案】41.B 42.C 43.E 44.D 45.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了如何通过压花的方法保存鲜花,使其能够长期保持美丽。
41.根据“Anna Zakirova is always interested in doing this for a long time...”可知,后文提到Anna长期对此感兴趣,且介绍她开始压花的经历。选项B“压花并非新方法,许多人尝试过。”承接前文保存鲜花的好方法,与之相符。故选B。
42.根据“Once the flowers are dry, she arranges them on a piece of paper.”以及“The dried flowers are then put inside glass frames.”可知,前文说“将干花排列在纸上”,后文说“放入相框”。选项C“排列后她用特殊胶水把花固定在纸上。”补充了操作步骤,与之相符。故选C。
43.根据“If you want to keep your favorite flowers alive, why not do it yourself?”以及“It also makes you feel closer to nature.”可知,前句鼓励读者尝试,后句强调“亲近自然”的优点,故空处会提及尝试保存鲜花的其他益处。选项E“它会帮助你保存鲜花且平静心灵”与之相符。故选E。
44.根据“Besides, pressing flowers is not just a way to save flowers.”以及“For example, you can use pressed flowers to decorate cards, notebooks or even phone cases.”可知,前文说压花不仅是保存方式,后文举例装饰卡片等用途。选项D“它也会让你创造更有趣的东西。”与后文例子完美匹配。故选D。
45.根据“Some people may worry that pressing flowers is hard to do.”及“You just need a heavy book, some absorbent paper and your patience. Put the flower between two pieces of absorbent paper,”可知,前句说“有人担心压花难做”,后文描述简单步骤,故空处会打消顾虑,强调压花不是很难。选项A“实际上,它比大多人想象的容易得多”与之相符。故选A。
五、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,根据语篇内容,在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式,使短文通顺、连贯。
It felt like a dream come true to Arman from Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). He was the 46 (win) of the Kazakhstan National Chinese Language Contest, and when his sister returned home from her university study abroad, she was 47 (surprise) to see his gold medal on the wall. She had always encouraged Arman, but even she didn’t expect such a great achievement.
Rewinding (倒带) to a year ago, Arman became 48 (great) interested in the Chinese culture after watching a thrilling kung fu movie. The beautiful language and rich history attracted him, so he started learning basic phrases online. Soon, he decided 49 (take) part in the annual Chinese competition at school, hoping to challenge himself. But the path 50 (not be) easy. At first, he wasn’t chosen for the school team because his pronunciation was weak. However, he didn’t give up. He believed in 51 (he) and practiced every day after classes, repeating words until they sounded perfect.
With the help of his sister, who had studied Chinese herself, he 52 (improve) quickly. She spent hours tutoring him, sharing her textbooks, and even cooking dumplings while they reviewed vocabulary. Her support was invaluable. Finally, after 53 (month) of hard work, he won a ten-day free trip to Beijing as the top prize. How exciting it is to explore the Great Wall and speak with locals!
As Chinese is becoming 54 (popular) than many other languages globally, his experience shows that perseverance pays off. For any student facing doubts, remember: start small, seek help, and never stop believing, and you will be 55 (success).
【答案】
46.winner 47.surprised 48.greatly 49.to take 50.wasn’t 51.himself 52.improved 53.months 54.more popular 55.successful
【导语】本文主要介绍了来自哈萨克斯坦的Arman从对中国文化产生兴趣,到努力学习中文并在哈萨克斯坦全国中文比赛中获胜的经历,以及他的成功所体现出的坚持就会有回报的道理。
46.句意:他是哈萨克斯坦全国中文比赛的获胜者,当他的姐姐结束在国外的大学学业回到家时,看到他墙上的金牌感到很惊讶。这里需要一个名词表示“获胜者”,win是动词,其名词形式是winner,由前面的the可知这里说的是他成为这次比赛的获胜者,用单数形式winner。
47.句意:他是哈萨克斯坦全国中文比赛的获胜者,当他的姐姐结束在国外的大学学业回到家时,看到他墙上的金牌感到很惊讶。这里描述人“感到惊讶的”,要用形容词surprised,surprise常见有名词和动词两种词性,其形容词有surprising和surprised,surprising常用来修饰物,表示“令人惊讶的”,surprised常用来修饰人,表示“感到惊讶的”,这里说他姐姐看到金牌感到惊讶,所以用surprised。
48.句意:倒回到一年前,Arman在看了一部精彩的功夫电影后,对中国文化产生了极大的兴趣。修饰形容词interested要用副词,great是形容词,其副词形式是greatly,表示“非常”,句中说阿卜杜热合曼看了电影后对中国文化非常感兴趣。
49.句意:很快,他决定参加学校一年一度的中文比赛,希望挑战自己。decide to do sth.是固定用法,表示“决定做某事”,所以这里用动词不定式to take。
50.句意:但这条路并不容易。根据时间状语a year ago可知,句子时态是一般过去时,主语是the path,是第三人称单数,be动词用was,否定形式是wasn’t。
51.句意:他相信自己,每天课后都练习,反复念单词,直到发音完美。believe in oneself表示“相信自己”,he是主格形式,这里要用其反身代词himself。
52.句意:在自己也学过中文的姐姐的帮助下,他进步很快。此句描述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时,动词improve的过去式是improved,所以填improved。
53.句意:最后,经过几个月的努力,他赢得了去北京的十日免费之旅作为最高奖项。“month”是可数名词,“after months of”表示“经过数月的”,这里要用复数形式months,故填months。
54.句意:随着中文在全球范围内比许多其他语言越来越受欢迎,他的经历表明坚持不懈会有回报。由后面的“than”可知,这里要用形容词的比较级,popular是多音节形容词,其比较级是more popular,所以填more popular。
55.句意:对于任何面临疑虑的学生来说,记住:从小事做起,寻求帮助,永远不要停止相信,你就会成功。be动词后面要接形容词作表语,success是名词,其形容词是successful,故填successful。
六、首字母填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,完成短文。
Recently, I visited my former classmate Leo in his new home, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Nowadays, he would like to spend his h 56 and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the j 57 of DIY home repairs. This means that if anything needs fixing around the house, he will try to do the job h 58 .
Leo showed me his new kitchen that he put together himself, and his newly-painted walls. I asked him w 59 he got the idea to do these things. He told me that it came from a DIY program on TV.
This got me to think about how p 60 DIY programs are in the UK. Each channel (频道) has at least one home or garden makeover (装饰,翻新) show. Some channels are e 61 completely talking about the subject.
I don’t think it’s really s 62 that DIY programs are so welcomed by people. There are two common British sayings—“An Englishman’s home is his castle” and “there’s no place like home”—which show how i 63 their houses are to them. W 64 the economic (经济) changes of the last several years, many people don’t have enough money to buy bigger houses than before. So they are looking at how they can make their houses b 65 without spending a lot of money. DIY, obviously, is the perfect choice.
【答案】
56.holidays/olidays 57.joy/oy 58.himself/imself 59.where/here 60.popular/opular 61.even/ven 62.surprising/urprising 63.important/mportant 64.With/ith 65.better/etter
