The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland, which can be found in several parts of the world. Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams come true. Travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship, or meeting an adorable fairytale or cartoon character are all possible at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or even on the street. Of course, Disneyland also has many exciting rides to amuse you, from enormous swinging ships to scary free-fall drops.
Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster, Thunderhead.
Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium — the world’s largest — and see up to 20,000 fish, in addition to a whale shark 68 metres in length. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides!

At the age of 32, Carlos worked as a full-time waiter in a small downtown restaurant. For years, he thought his life would stay unchanged forever — busy with endless table orders and low-paid daily work, with no chance to try new things or realize personal dreams. He used to believe he was not smart enough to learn difficult knowledge, so he never planned any long-term self-improvement.
Everything changed on a rainy afternoon when a foreign tourist tried to ask for food recommendations in English. Unable to understand a single word, Carlos felt extremely embarrassed and disappointed about himself. That unpleasant experience pushed him to make a life-changing decision: he would start learning English in his spare time no matter how hard it was.
Without money for expensive training courses, Carlos made full use of small free time every day. He kept an English notebook in his uniform pocket and memorized new words while waiting for customers or having short breaks between meals. After closing the restaurant late at night, he watched free English learning videos online for one hour before sleep. In the first six months, he met lots of difficulties: confusing grammar rules, easy-to-forget vocabulary and weak listening skills made him want to give up many times. But the memory of that awkward day always pulled him back to keep going.
Two years later, great changes took place in Carlos’s life. Not only could he communicate fluently with foreign guests, but he also began posting short English stories about his working experiences online. Gradually, he gained hundreds of followers from different countries. What surprised him most was a part-time online translator job offer he received last winter.
This long learning journey brought far more than language skills. Carlos realized the biggest discovery was himself: he was capable of overcoming challenges and creating new possibilities as long as he held on to his goals.
4. What made Carlos decide to start learning English?
A. His wish to find a well-paid job.
B. An embarrassing experience with a tourist.
C. The advice given by his foreign customers.
D. His desire to quit the boring job as a waiter.
5. How did Carlos learn English?
A. By borrowing textbooks from a library.
B. By asking foreign customers to teach him daily.
C. By using his spare time and free online resources.
D. By memorizing new words when serving customers.
6. What did Carlos benefit most from English learning?
A. He got a part-time online job.
B. He became the manager of the restaurant.
C. He had better awareness of his potential.
D. He earned great fame by opening classes.
7. Which words can best describe Carlos’s growth experience?
A. Risky and eventful. B. Inspiring and fruitful.
C. Relaxing and unforgettable. D. Unlucky and stormy.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B

Carlos realized the biggest discovery was himself: he was capable of overcoming challenges and creating new possibilities as long as he held on to his goals.(这段漫长的学习之旅带来的远不止语言技能。卡洛斯意识到最大的发现是他自己:只要坚持目标,他就有能力克服挑战、创造新的可能。)”可知,他从毫无成就的侍者变为收获流利交流能力、数百粉丝和翻译工作的学习者;由此推知,这段经历鼓舞人心且成果丰硕。
C
Teatime means much more than enjoying a warm cup of tea. Different cultures combine tea with food or snacks, and teatime becomes a special social event.
The story of English afternoon tea began with Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. In the 18th and 19th centuries, most English people only ate two big meals every day: breakfast and a late supper. There was a long hungry break between meals. The Duchess had a good idea to solve this problem. She invited friends to have cakes, sandwiches and tea between four and five o’clock. Fine china cups and silver tableware made this small meal feel important.
Soon afternoon tea became widely popular. It quickly turned into a fashionable social activity. Even today, afternoon tea still plays an important role in British social life. It is a great chance for people to meet, talk and enjoy food together.
Yum cha is another famous teatime custom from southern China. Yum cha means “drink tea”. People go to restaurants to enjoy small bite-sized dim sum with family and friends. It is a relaxing time to catch up with loved ones. The best time for yum cha is late morning, known as brunch. This tradition started thousands of years ago. Teahouses along the Silk Road first offered tea for tired travellers. Later, teahouses began to serve snacks, and yum cha was born.
8. Why did the Duchess of Bedford invent afternoon tea?
A. She wanted to create a new job for cooks.
B. She felt hungry during the long gap between two daily meals.
C. She hoped to sell expensive china and silver.
D. She planned to hold big evening parties.
9. What can we learn about yum cha?
A. People only drink tea without food.
B. It is a social custom from northern China.
C. Dim sum are small bite-sized dishes served with tea.
D. It started in modern restaurants 100 years ago.
10. What do afternoon tea and yum cha have in common?
A. Both are social occasions for people to meet and chat.
B. Both only use silver plates and fine china cups.
C. Both take place in the late afternoon.
D. Both were born on the Silk Road.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Famous Tea Customs from Two Cultures
B. How to Make British Afternoon Tea
C. The History of the Silk Road
D. Different Snacks for Western Meals
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了两种经典茶点习俗:英国下午茶与中国南方饮茶,介绍其起源、形式与社交意义,对比中西茶文化差异与共性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the 18th and 19th centuries, most English people only ate two big meals every day: breakfast and a late supper. There was a long hungry break between meals. The Duchess had a good idea to solve this problem.(在18至19世纪,大多数英国人每天只吃两顿大餐:早餐和很晚的晚餐。两餐之间相隔较久,常有漫长的饥饿间隙。公爵夫人有一个好主意来解决这个问题。)”可知,贝德福德公爵夫人发明下午茶,是为了解决每日两餐之间间隔太久、容易饥饿的问题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Yum cha is another famous teatime custom from southern China. Yum cha means “drink tea”. People go to restaurants to enjoy small bite-sized dim sum with family and friends.(饮茶是中国南方另一个著名的茶点习俗。“Yum cha”的意思是“喝茶”。人们去餐馆与家人和朋友一起享用一口大小的小点心。)”可知,点心是搭配茶饮的小份餐食。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Different cultures combine tea with food or snacks, and teatime becomes a special social event.(不同文化将茶与食物或点心结合,使茶点活动成为一种特殊的社交活动。)”、第三段中“It is a great chance for people to meet, talk and enjoy food together.(这是一个很好的机会,让人们见面,聊天,一起享用食物。)”以及第四段中“It is a relaxing time to catch up with loved ones.(这是一个放松的时间,可以和至亲的人叙旧。)”可知,下午茶和饮茶两者的核心共同点是都属于社交场合,供人们相聚、交谈。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文分别介绍了英国的下午茶和中国南方的饮茶两种不同文化中的茶俗,A 选项“两种文化中的著名茶俗”最能概括全文主旨,适合作为文章的标题。
D
Nowadays many people have got used to taking short videos on mobile phones whenever they go sightseeing. However, a new rule at some famous scenic spots asks visitors not to shoot short videos for commercial purposes without official permission.
Some tourists feel confused. They argue that it is their right to record and share beautiful views online. On the other hand, park managers explain that many commercial video‑makers bring large filming equipment, occupy viewing platforms for hours and block ordinary visitors. Some internet influencers even ask other tourists to move away so that they can get perfect shots. As a result, ordinary visitors cannot enjoy the scenery comfortably.
Besides occupying public space, uncontrolled commercial shooting also damages natural environments. Some video creators step onto grassland or break branches just to get wonderful images. Park workers have spent plenty of time repairing the damaged plants.
This new rule does not mean a complete ban. Private tourists can still take photos and short videos for their own memory and post them on social media for free. Only those who make money out of scenic‑spot videos need to apply in advance. The rule aims to balance the needs of ordinary visitors and commercial creators, and better protect natural resources.
12. What is the new rule about according to paragraph1?
A. Tourists cannot take photos inside scenic areas.
B. Commercial short‑video shooting needs official approval.
C. Influencers are not allowed to visit tourist attractions.
D. Visitors must hand in their mobile phones at the gate.
13. What problem is caused by some commercial video‑makers?
A. They sell tickets illegally inside the park.
B. They often argue with park managers over tickets.
C. They take up public viewing space and harm plants.
D. They spread false information about the scenic spots online.
14. Which of the following actions is still allowed under the new rule?
A. An influencer shooting paid advertisements without permission.
B. A visitor taking personal videos and sharing them for fun.
C. A video team setting up lights on the grass for commercial shooting.
D. A creator blocking the platform to finish one‑hour filming.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the new rule?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了部分景区出台新规限制商业性短视频拍摄以保护游客权益和自然环境。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, a new rule at some famous scenic spots asks visitors not to shoot short videos for commercial purposes without official permission.(然而,一些著名景点的一项新规定要求游客未经官方许可不得为商业目的拍摄短视频)”可知,这项新规定是关于商业性短视频拍摄需要官方批准的。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“On the other hand, park managers explain that many commercial video‑makers bring large filming equipment, occupy viewing platforms for hours and block ordinary visitors.(另一方面,公园管理人员解释说,许多商业视频制作人携带大型拍摄设备,占用观景台数小时,妨碍普通游客游览)”以及第三段中“Some video creators step onto grassland or break branches just to get wonderful images.(一些视频创作者为了获得精彩画面踏上草地或折断树枝)”可知,一些商业视频制作者占用公共观景空间并破坏植物。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Private tourists can still take photos and short videos for their own memory and post them on social media for free.(私人游客仍然可以拍摄照片和短视频留作个人纪念并免费发布在社交媒体上)”可知,游客拍摄个人视频并分享取乐仍然是被允许的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The rule aims to balance the needs of ordinary visitors and commercial creators, and better protect natural resources.(该规定旨在平衡普通游客和商业创作者的需求,并更好地保护自然资源)”可知,作者认为新规能够平衡双方需求并保护自然资源,由此可推知作者对这一新规持支持态度。

Third, surround yourself with positive people. The people you surround yourself with can have a big impact on your self-confidence. If you surround yourself with negative people, they will bring you down and make you feel worse about yourself. However, if you surround yourself with positive people, they will lift you up and inspire you to be your best self. ____19____
Finally, take care of yourself. ____20____ When you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to have confidence in your abilities.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出自信心对成功很重要但培养不易,接着从设定可实现目标、直面恐惧、与积极的人相处、照顾自己四方面,给出建立自信心的具体建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Self-confidence is an essential quality for a successful life. It allows you to face challenges, take risks, and pursue your goals with determination. However, building self-confidence is not always easy. It takes time, effort, and practice.(自信是成功生活所必备的重要品质。它能让你勇敢面对挑战、敢于冒险,并坚定地追求自己的目标。然而,培养自信并非总是轻而易举之事。这需要时间、努力以及不断的实践)”可知,前文指出建立自信心很重要但并非易事,后文则列出了具体方法。故C选项“以下是一些关于如何建立自信的建议”符合语境,故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“First, set achievable goals. When you set achievable goals, you are more likely to succeed, which can boost your self-confidence.(首先,设定可实现的目标。当你设定可实现的目标时,你就更有可能取得成功,这还能增强你的自信心)”该部分围绕“设定可实现的目标”展开。前文说明可实现的目标更容易让人成功,进而提升自信心。选项G“这将帮助你逐步建立自信,并实现长期目标”进一步阐述了设定这类目标的作用,且其中的“This”与前文“设定可实现的目标”形成呼应。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Second, face your fears. Fear is a major obstacle to self-confidence. When you avoid facing your fears, you are giving them power over you. However, when you face your fears head-on, you are taking back your power and building your self-confidence.(其次,要直面自己的恐惧。恐惧是自信的一大阻碍。当你逃避面对恐惧时,恐惧就会掌控你。然而,当你勇敢地直面恐惧时,你就重新夺回了自己的力量,并建立起自信)”可知,此段主题是“直面恐惧”。前文强调直接面对恐惧的重要性,选项A“每天尝试做一件让你害怕的事,并逐渐提高难度”给出了直面恐惧的具体做法,与后文“从给一小群人做简短演讲开始”的例子相契合。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Third, surround yourself with positive people. The people you surround yourself with can have a big impact on your self-confidence. If you surround yourself with negative people, they will bring you down and make you feel worse about yourself. However, if you surround yourself with positive people, they will lift you up and inspire you to be your best self.(第三,与积极向上的人为伍。你所接触的人会对你自身的自信产生重大影响。如果你与消极的人为伴,他们会让你情绪低落,让你对自己感到更加不满。然而,如果你与积极的人为伴,他们会激励你,帮助你展现出最好的自己)”可知,该部分讨论“与积极的人相处”。前文对比了消极人群和积极人群对自信心的不同影响,选项B“因此,努力花时间和那些支持、鼓励你的人在一起”根据前文对比给出了具体行动建议,“So”体现了选择积极人群的逻辑结果。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Finally, take care of yourself.(最后,照顾好自己)”以及后文“When you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to have confidence in your abilities. This will give you the confidence to take on more challenging tasks in the future. This includes eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and taking time to relax.(当你对自己感觉良好时,你更有可能对自己能力充满信心。这会给你带来承担未来更具挑战性任务的信心。这包括保持健康的饮食习惯、保证充足的睡眠、定期锻炼以及留出时间进行放松)”可知,此段围绕“照顾好自己”展开。后文列举了照顾自己的具体方式(如健康饮食、充足睡眠等),并说明其与自信心的关联。选项E“照顾好自己的身心健康对建立自信心至关重要”点明了自我照顾对建立自信的重要性,为后文内容做了铺垫。故选E。

Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture.

At the age of 32, Carlos worked as a full-time waiter in a small downtown restaurant. For years, he thought his life would stay unchanged forever — busy with endless table orders and low-paid daily work, with no chance to try new things or realize personal dreams. He used to believe he was not smart enough to learn difficult knowledge, so he never planned any long-term self-improvement.
Everything changed on a rainy afternoon when a foreign tourist tried to ask for food recommendations in English. Unable to understand a single word, Carlos felt extremely embarrassed and disappointed about himself. That unpleasant experience pushed him to make a life-changing decision: he would start learning English in his spare time no matter how hard it was.
Without money for expensive training courses, Carlos made full use of small free time every day. He kept an English notebook in his uniform pocket and memorized new words while waiting for customers or having short breaks between meals. After closing the restaurant late at night, he watched free English learning videos online for one hour before sleep. In the first six months, he met lots of difficulties: confusing grammar rules, easy-to-forget vocabulary and weak listening skills made him want to give up many times. But the memory of that awkward day always pulled him back to keep going.
Two years later, great changes took place in Carlos’s life. Not only could he communicate fluently with foreign guests, but he also began posting short English stories about his working experiences online. Gradually, he gained hundreds of followers from different countries. What surprised him most was a part-time online translator job offer he received last winter.
This long learning journey brought far more than language skills. Carlos realized the biggest discovery was himself: he was capable of overcoming challenges and creating new possibilities as long as he held on to his goals.
4. What made Carlos decide to start learning English?
A. His wish to find a well-paid job.
B. An embarrassing experience with a tourist.
C. The advice given by his foreign customers.
D. His desire to quit the boring job as a waiter.
5. How did Carlos learn English?
A. By borrowing textbooks from a library.
B. By asking foreign customers to teach him daily.
C. By using his spare time and free online resources.
D. By memorizing new words when serving customers.
6. What did Carlos benefit most from English learning?
A. He got a part-time online job.
B. He became the manager of the restaurant.
C. He had better awareness of his potential.
D. He earned great fame by opening classes.
7. Which words can best describe Carlos’s growth experience?
A. Risky and eventful. B. Inspiring and fruitful.
C. Relaxing and unforgettable. D. Unlucky and stormy.
C
Teatime means much more than enjoying a warm cup of tea. Different cultures combine tea with food or snacks, and teatime becomes a special social event.
The story of English afternoon tea began with Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. In the 18th and 19th centuries, most English people only ate two big meals every day: breakfast and a late supper. There was a long hungry break between meals. The Duchess had a good idea to solve this problem. She invited friends to have cakes, sandwiches and tea between four and five o’clock. Fine china cups and silver tableware made this small meal feel important.
Soon afternoon tea became widely popular. It quickly turned into a fashionable social activity. Even today, afternoon tea still plays an important role in British social life. It is a great chance for people to meet, talk and enjoy food together.
Yum cha is another famous teatime custom from southern China. Yum cha means “drink tea”. People go to restaurants to enjoy small bite-sized dim sum with family and friends. It is a relaxing time to catch up with loved ones. The best time for yum cha is late morning, known as brunch. This tradition started thousands of years ago. Teahouses along the Silk Road first offered tea for tired travellers. Later, teahouses began to serve snacks, and yum cha was born.
8. Why did the Duchess of Bedford invent afternoon tea?
A. She wanted to create a new job for cooks.
B. She felt hungry during the long gap between two daily meals.
C. She hoped to sell expensive china and silver.
D. She planned to hold big evening parties.
9. What can we learn about yum cha?
A. People only drink tea without food.
B. It is a social custom from northern China.
C. Dim sum are small bite-sized dishes served with tea.
D. It started in modern restaurants 100 years ago.
10. What do afternoon tea and yum cha have in common?
A. Both are social occasions for people to meet and chat.
B. Both only use silver plates and fine china cups.
C. Both take place in the late afternoon.
D. Both were born on the Silk Road.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Famous Tea Customs from Two Cultures
B. How to Make British Afternoon Tea
C. The History of the Silk Road
D. Different Snacks for Western Meals
D
Nowadays many people have got used to taking short videos on mobile phones whenever they go sightseeing. However, a new rule at some famous scenic spots asks visitors not to shoot short videos for commercial purposes without official permission.
Some tourists feel confused. They argue that it is their right to record and share beautiful views online. On the other hand, park managers explain that many commercial video‑makers bring large filming equipment, occupy viewing platforms for hours and block ordinary visitors. Some internet influencers even ask other tourists to move away so that they can get perfect shots. As a result, ordinary visitors cannot enjoy the scenery comfortably.
Besides occupying public space, uncontrolled commercial shooting also damages natural environments. Some video creators step onto grassland or break branches just to get wonderful images. Park workers have spent plenty of time repairing the damaged plants.
This new rule does not mean a complete ban. Private tourists can still take photos and short videos for their own memory and post them on social media for free. Only those who make money out of scenic‑spot videos need to apply in advance. The rule aims to balance the needs of ordinary visitors and commercial creators, and better protect natural resources.
12. What is the new rule about according to paragraph1?
A. Tourists cannot take photos inside scenic areas.
B. Commercial short‑video shooting needs official approval.
C. Influencers are not allowed to visit tourist attractions.
D. Visitors must hand in their mobile phones at the gate.
13. What problem is caused by some commercial video‑makers?
A. They sell tickets illegally inside the park.
B. They often argue with park managers over tickets.
C. They take up public viewing space and harm plants.
D. They spread false information about the scenic spots online.
14. Which of the following actions is still allowed under the new rule?
A. An influencer shooting paid advertisements without permission.
B. A visitor taking personal videos and sharing them for fun.
C. A video team setting up lights on the grass for commercial shooting.
D. A creator blocking the platform to finish one‑hour filming.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the new rule?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.
