They saw more than 30 false killer whales (伪虎鲸) swimming there. Among them, at least three baby false killer whales were playing near their mothers. The team recorded the scene (场景) at that moment, as it was important for science. They are coming back. Past records ·In 2022, people first found a large group of false killer whales in Haimen, Nantong. ·From June to July 2023, about 60 false killer whales swam around in Qidong, Nantong. ·In June 2024, people saw about 30 false killer whales in Nantong. About false killer whales They are very large, mostly black or dark grey, with big mouths. On average, a grown-up false killer whale is about 4.9 metres long, and weighs between 1 and 2.5 tons. They often live in large groups in warm oceans. People protect them because they are in danger. Why do they keep coming back? The waters near Nantong are becoming a better home for these animals. Thanks to the fishing rules, the sea environment is becoming safer, and there is more food for them. 21. Why did the team record the scene then? A. Because the sea animals were large. B. Because it was important for science. C. Because it was interesting to watch. 22. What facts do we know about false killer whales? ①They are large and black with white mouths. ②They can grow up to 4.9 metres long. ③They often stay together in warm waters. ④They are in danger. A. ②③ B. ①④ C. ③④ 23. What brings false killer whales back to the waters near Nantong? A. Warmer water temperature. B. A large group of sea animals. C. A safe environment and much food. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了2026年科研团队在江苏南通附近海域发现伪虎鲸群的事件，列举了近年伪虎鲸在南通海域的出现记录，科普了伪虎鲸的外形、体型、生活习性、生存现状等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The team recorded the scene (场景) at that moment, as it was important for science.”可知，科研团队记录该场景是因为它对科学研究有重要意义。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About false killer whales”部分“They often live in large groups in warm oceans.”可知，伪虎鲸常成群在温暖海洋中活动，与“常结伴待在温暖水域”的表述相符；根据该部分“People protect them because they are in danger.”可知，伪虎鲸处于濒危状态，与“它们处于危险中”的表述相符，因此③④符合事实。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thanks to the fishing rules, the sea environment is becoming safer, and there is more food for them.”可知，安全的海洋环境和充足的食物是伪虎鲸回到南通附近水域的原因。 B Lily and Mia were good friends, and everyone loved their warm friendship. However, Lily thought Mia always seemed better. Mia could finish maths problems faster, and her handwriting was cleaner. Even in sports, Mia jumped higher. One day, their teacher asked them to make a class poster as a team. Lily was worried then. Mia said, “I’m better at drawing, so I’ll draw the pictures. You can do the writing.” For three days, Mia drew colourful pictures, and Lily wrote. But every time Lily wrote something, Mia would say, “Maybe try this word?” On the fourth day, Lily shouted unhappily, “You always correct (纠正) me. You’re better than me! Maybe we shouldn’t be friends!” Mia’s eyes filled with tears. “I don’t think so. I try so hard just because I compare myself with you. Your stories were always good, so I practised writing at home. In maths class, you understood everything so quickly — I had to work twice as hard to keep up. I didn’t tell you because I thought you were better than me.” Lily was surprised. She never knew Mia felt the same way. Lily said, “Maybe we don’t need to be better than each other. We could be better together.” Mia nodded. After that, Mia asked Lily for advice on colours, and Lily asked Mia to read her writing. They laughed more and worked more happily. Finally, they understood: comparing builds walls; connecting builds bridges (桥). 24. What did Lily think Mia was better at? A. Drawing, singing, and sport. B. Maths, handwriting, and sport. C. Writing, drawing, and handwriting. 25. Which of the following shows the changes in Lily’s feelings? A. excited; They stopped fighting B. sad; Mia didn’t listen to her at first C. angry; Mia shared her true feelings 26. Which of the following can best describe Mia? A. Slow and forgetful. B. Outgoing and untidy. C. Hard-working and honest. 27. What can we learn from Lily’s words in the last paragraph? A. Always try to be the best. B. Don’t compare ourselves with others. C. Focus on our own work. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了好友Lily和Mia都暗自觉得对方比自己优秀，在合作制作班级海报的过程中产生矛盾，坦诚沟通后解开误会，最终明白“比较筑墙，沟通架桥”、要共同进步的道理。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Mia could finish maths problems faster, and her handwriting was cleaner. Even in sports, Mia jumped higher.”可知，Lily认为Mia在数学、书法和体育方面更擅长。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。该题配图为Lily的情绪变化曲线图，横轴为事件发展线，纵轴为情绪积极程度（越往上情绪越积极），图中有两处待补充的空缺：一处是Mia不断纠正Lily写作时Lily的情绪，一处是让Lily感到惊讶的对应事件。根据文章第2段“On the fourth day, Lily shouted unhappily, ‘You always correct me. You’re better than me! Maybe we shouldn’t be friends!’”可推知，此时Lily的情绪是愤怒的；根据文章第3段“I try so hard just because I compare myself with you. Your stories were always good, so I practised writing at home. In maths class, you understood everything so quickly — I had to work twice as hard to keep up. I didn’t tell you because I thought you were better than me.”以及第4段“Lily was surprised. She never knew Mia felt the same way.”可推知，让Lily惊讶的事件是Mia分享了自己的真实感受。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“Your stories were always good, so I practised writing at home. In maths class, you understood everything so quickly — I had to work twice as hard to keep up.”可知，Mia为了提升自己付出很多努力，十分勤奋；同时Mia坦诚向Lily说出自己的真实想法，十分诚实，因此Mia具有努力、诚实的特点。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Lily的话“Maybe we don’t need to be better than each other. We could be better together.”可推知，我们不需要和他人比较输赢，而是可以互相陪伴共同进步，即不要拿自己和他人比较。 C Cats always land on their feet. Many scientists tried to find out why, but there are still some questions without answers. Now, a study shows that a cat’s spine (脊柱) may hold the key. In 1894, a scientist named Étienne-Jules Marey took the first pictures of a cat turning in the air as it fell. They showed that the cat was able to twist (扭转) in the air, so it landed on its feet. This seemed unusual. In science, if something turns in the air, it needs a force (力). However, no one knew exactly how the cat did it. In order to find out how cats do this trick, scientists at Yamaguchi University did a study. They first studied cats’ spines carefully. They found that each cat’s spine has two parts: the front half, and the back half. The front half of the spine is much lighter and more flexible (灵活的) than the back half. In fact, it can twist about three times as far as the back half. It moves like a person’s neck. Next, they watched two cats falling many times. They discovered that the cats didn’t turn over all at once. Instead, the front half turned first, and then the back half followed. This was because the front half is easier to move. The ability might also help cats when they are running fast or turning quickly. This study helped us understand how cats twist in the air. In the future, scientists hope to study more cats’ falling movements, and even create 3D models of them. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Scientists solved all the questions. B. Scientists were not interested in cats. C. The spine may explain cats’ landing. 29. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The process of the study. B. The weight of the spine. C. Different parts of a cat’s spine. 30. What do the words “the ability” in paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Cats can run faster than most other animals. B. Cats can turn quickly and easily without falling. C. Cats can move two parts of their spine in different ways. 31. What can we infer (推断) about the scientists’ further study? A. It will focus on how to make 3D models. B. It will find out more facts about cats’ movements. C. It will explain why cats run faster and faster. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕“猫下落时总能脚着地”的现象展开，介绍了相关科学研究，指出猫的脊柱结构是该现象的关键，同时说明了研究的过程与发现，以及未来的研究方向。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now, a study shows that a cat’s spine (脊柱) may hold the key.”可知，第一段告诉我们猫咪的脊柱或许可以解释猫咪为何能脚先着地的现象。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“They found that each cat’s spine has two parts: the front half, and the back half. The front half of the spine is much lighter and more flexible (灵活的) than the back half. In fact, it can twist about three times as far as the back half.”可知，第三段大部分内容都在介绍猫脊柱的前后两部分及其特点，核心是猫脊柱的不同部分。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“They discovered that the cats didn’t turn over all at once. Instead, the front half turned first, and then the back half followed. This was because the front half is easier to move.”可知，猫能够以不同方式移动脊柱的两部分，这种能力还能在猫快跑、快速转弯时提供帮助，因此“the ability”指代猫可以用不同方式移动脊柱两部分的能力。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In the future, scientists hope to study more cats’ falling movements, and even create 3D models of them.”可推知，科学家的后续研究会发掘出更多和猫咪动作相关的事实信息。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Outdoor spaces play an important role in our daily lives.

So the World Monuments Fund (WMF) is trying to protect them.”可知，此处说明户外绿地需要保护的原因，即它们正面临严峻问题。选项D“Unluckily, they are facing serious problems now.”符合语境。 【33题详解】 根据文章第2段“In 2024, WMF started a programme to protect outdoor green spaces in places around the world. WMF focuses on the chinampas in Mexico City.”可知，此处引出墨西哥城这个地点。选项A“Mexico City is one of the places.”符合语境。 【34题详解】 根据文章第3段“In New York City, WMF is working with a group to protect Central Park, Manhattan’s largest park.”可知，本段从农田过渡到城市公园，说明项目既保护农田也保护城市公园。选项E“The programme helps not only farmlands but also city parks.”符合语境。 【35题详解】 根据文章第4段“Thanks to WMF, many green spaces are getting better. Let’s take care of them from now on, and one day they will become a shared treasure for us all.”可知，此处表转折，说明绿地仍需要我们的照料。选项B“However, they still need our care.”符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was about nine years old, my family moved to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, US.

Now, foraging is one of my best free-time activities. It ____44____ me that we are part of nature. And the ____45____ gives me a strong sense of caring for it. If I want to eat wild blueberries, I must protect the places where they grow. 36. A. bought B. imagined C. discovered 37. A. nothing B. anything C. something 38. A. better B. awful C. stranger 39. A. hardly B. especially C. certainly 40. A. tools B. artworks C. plants 41. A. agreed B. forgot C. decided 42. A. serious B. different C. ready 43. A. clean up B. turn around C. focus on 44. A. worries B. reminds C. invites 45. A. prize B. humour C. connection 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. A 39. B 40. C 41. C 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者童年搬家后在住所周边发现野生蓝莓，由此开启野外觅食探索的经历，以及这段经历让作者意识到人类是自然的一部分，进而生出关爱自然的责任感的故事。 【36题详解】 句意：在那里，我在房子周围发现了野生蓝莓。 根据上文提到作者9岁时全家搬到美国宾夕法尼亚州的波科诺山，以及空后“wild blueberries around our house”的语境，是在新家周边发现野生蓝莓。应用discovered，表示“发现”，符合搬到新环境后在住所周边找到野生蓝莓的逻辑。若用bought则需对应“购买”的场景，野生蓝莓是家周边自然生长的，无需购买；imagined侧重“想象”，不符合后文作者实际品尝蓝莓的情节，不合语境。 【37题详解】 句意：它们尝起来一点也不像水果店里的蓝莓。 根据后文“尽管店里的蓝莓个头大，却不如野生蓝莓美味”的转折对比逻辑，野生蓝莓的味道与水果店的蓝莓完全不一样。应用nothing，构成固定搭配nothing like，表示“一点也不像”，符合两类蓝莓风味差异巨大的逻辑。anything/something like均表示“有点像”，和后文的转折逻辑冲突。 【38题详解】 句意：这让我觉得来自野外的食物或许更好。 根据前句“商店的蓝莓个头大，但不如野生蓝莓美味”的对比结论，可推导出作者认为野外的食物品质更好。应用better，表示“更好的”。awful“糟糕的”，和原文表意完全相反；stranger“更陌生的”，与食物口感评价的语境无关。 【39题详解】 句意：为什么野生的（蓝莓）格外甜？ 根据前文作者感知到野生蓝莓比市售蓝莓更美味，空后是形容词sweet，此处是作者的疑问：为什么野生蓝莓格外甜。应用especially，表示“尤其、格外”。hardly“几乎不”，和野生蓝莓更甜的事实矛盾；certainly“当然”，是陈述确定性事实，不符合作者提出疑问的语境。 【40题详解】 句意：为了弄清楚答案，我花了大量时间阅读关于不同植物的书籍。 根据上文作者好奇野生蓝莓为何格外甜，蓝莓属于植物范畴，因此作者花时间阅读相关主题的书籍。应用plants，表示“植物”。tools“工具”、artworks“艺术品”均和研究野生蓝莓甜度的需求无关，不符语境。 【41题详解】 句意：后来，我决定去户外探索，在大自然中搜寻食物。 根据上文作者通过读书积累相关知识，空后是“to explore and forage out in nature”的行动描述，是作者在学习后做出的行动决定。应用decided，构成固定搭配decide to do sth.，表示“决定做某事”，符合从理论学习转向实地探索的行为逻辑。agreed“同意”，需对应他人提议的语境，文中无相关提示；forgot“忘记”，和后文作者实际开展野外搜寻的情节相悖。 【42题详解】 句意：然而，在野外搜寻食物是不一样的。 根据前句“大部分人徒步时都不认识树木种类”，后文“它让我注意到树木类型、地面干湿这类细节”，说明野外搜寻食物和普通徒步不一样。应用different，表示“不同的”。serious“严肃的”、ready“准备好的”均无法对应和普通徒步做对比的语境，表意不匹配。 【43题详解】 句意：我可以完全专注于自然世界。 根据前句“野外搜寻让我注意到树木种类、地面干湿这类细节”，说明作者的注意力完全集中在自然世界上。应用focus on，表示“专注于”，符合作者全身心观察自然细节的状态。clean up“清理”、turn around“转身”均和观察感知自然的语境无关，逻辑不通。 【44题详解】 句意：它提醒着我，我们是自然的一部分。 根据空后“we are part of nature”是野外搜寻这项活动让作者领悟到的道理。应用reminds，构成remind sb. that…结构，表示“提醒某人、使某人想起”，符合活动让作者悟出人与自然关系的语境。worries“使担忧”，和后文正向的感悟表意不符；invites“邀请”，无法搭配抽象的道理感悟，用法不当。 【45题详解】 句意：这种联结让我产生了强烈的爱护自然的意识。 根据前文作者通过野外搜寻意识到自己是自然的一部分，这种和自然的联结让作者产生了保护自然的意识。应用connection，表示“联系、联结”。prize“奖项”、humour“幽默”均和上下文描述的人与自然的关系语境完全无关。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For Xiao’ou, a young girl in Shanghai, a sweet home begins with a green balcony.

In fact, the way of travelling changes a lot with age. A new study shows the differences across age groups. Different age groups travel differently. People aged 35-44 travel most. Those over 65 do not travel often, though more than 75% of them still enjoy vacations. When it comes to hotel choices, more than half of travellers aged 13-28 choose hotels with many services (服务). People aged over 65 prefer (更喜欢) common hotels. People travel for different reasons. Most people travel to rest and relax. However, for young travellers, the most important thing is to spend time with their loved ones. This shows younger travellers care more about experiences with friends and family than just having a rest. Travel spending also changes with age. Older travellers usually spend more. People over 65 spend about €750 on a trip on average. Travellers aged 18-24 spend the least, around €600. Most people stay out for 4-6 nights during a trip, but those over 54 prefer a trip of 12days or longer. These facts show age affects the way we explore the world. You may prefer to relax on a beach or go on an adventure (冒险) with friends, but there’s no right or wrong way — just different ways for different ages. 56. Who travels most according to the study? _________________________________________________________ 57. Why do most people go on trips? _________________________________________________________ 58. Do travellers aged 18-24 usually spend more on a trip? _________________________________________________________ 59. How long do most people usually stay out during a trip? _________________________________________________________ 60. What is the main idea of the passage? _________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. People aged 35–44. 57. To rest and relax. 58. No, they don’t. 59. For 4–6 nights. 60. Age affects how we explore the world. / … 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项新研究，人们的旅行方式会随着年龄产生很大变化，文中从出行频率、住宿选择、出行原因、旅行花费和出行时长几个方面介绍不同年龄段旅行者的差异。 【56题详解】 第二段“People aged 35-44 travel most.”表明35至44岁的人旅行最多。 【57题详解】 第三段“Most people travel to rest and relax.”说明大多数人旅行是为了休息放松。 【58题详解】 第四段“Travellers aged 18-24 spend the least, around €600.”说明18至24岁的旅行者花费最少，作否定回答。 【59题详解】 第四段“Most people stay out for 4-6 nights during a trip”表明大多数人在旅行期间在外停留4到6个晚上。 【60题详解】 第一段“In fact, the way of travelling changes a lot with age.”以及最后一段“These facts show age affects the way we explore the world.”和全文内容表明文章意在说明，年龄会影响我们探索世界的方式。 第二节（共1小题；满分15分） 根据要求完成短文写作。 61. 假如你校英语社团将举办以Home is my first school为主题的演讲活动。请结合自身经历，用英语写一篇演讲稿分享一件往事，讲一讲你从家人身上学到的宝贵品质。 要求： 1. 包括提示信息，可适当发挥。 2. 语句通顺，语法正确，行文连贯，书写工整。 3. 80词左右（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）。 Hello, everyone!

They saw more than 30 false killer whales (伪虎鲸) swimming there. Among them, at least three baby false killer whales were playing near their mothers. The team recorded the scene (场景) at that moment, as it was important for science. They are coming back. Past records ·In 2022, people first found a large group of false killer whales in Haimen, Nantong. ·From June to July 2023, about 60 false killer whales swam around in Qidong, Nantong. ·In June 2024, people saw about 30 false killer whales in Nantong. About false killer whales They are very large, mostly black or dark grey, with big mouths. On average, a grown-up false killer whale is about 4.9 metres long, and weighs between 1 and 2.5 tons. They often live in large groups in warm oceans. People protect them because they are in danger. Why do they keep coming back? The waters near Nantong are becoming a better home for these animals. Thanks to the fishing rules, the sea environment is becoming safer, and there is more food for them. 21. Why did the team record the scene then? A. Because the sea animals were large. B. Because it was important for science. C. Because it was interesting to watch. 22. What facts do we know about false killer whales? ①They are large and black with white mouths. ②They can grow up to 4.9 metres long. ③They often stay together in warm waters. ④They are in danger. A. ②③ B. ①④ C. ③④ 23. What brings false killer whales back to the waters near Nantong? A. Warmer water temperature. B. A large group of sea animals. C. A safe environment and much food. B Lily and Mia were good friends, and everyone loved their warm friendship. However, Lily thought Mia always seemed better. Mia could finish maths problems faster, and her handwriting was cleaner. Even in sports, Mia jumped higher. One day, their teacher asked them to make a class poster as a team. Lily was worried then. Mia said, “I’m better at drawing, so I’ll draw the pictures. You can do the writing.” For three days, Mia drew colourful pictures, and Lily wrote. But every time Lily wrote something, Mia would say, “Maybe try this word?” On the fourth day, Lily shouted unhappily, “You always correct (纠正) me. You’re better than me! Maybe we shouldn’t be friends!” Mia’s eyes filled with tears. “I don’t think so. I try so hard just because I compare myself with you. Your stories were always good, so I practised writing at home. In maths class, you understood everything so quickly — I had to work twice as hard to keep up. I didn’t tell you because I thought you were better than me.” Lily was surprised. She never knew Mia felt the same way. Lily said, “Maybe we don’t need to be better than each other. We could be better together.” Mia nodded. After that, Mia asked Lily for advice on colours, and Lily asked Mia to read her writing. They laughed more and worked more happily. Finally, they understood: comparing builds walls; connecting builds bridges (桥). 24. What did Lily think Mia was better at? A. Drawing, singing, and sport. B. Maths, handwriting, and sport. C. Writing, drawing, and handwriting. 25. Which of the following shows the changes in Lily’s feelings? A. excited; They stopped fighting B. sad; Mia didn’t listen to her at first C. angry; Mia shared her true feelings 26. Which of the following can best describe Mia? A. Slow and forgetful. B. Outgoing and untidy. C. Hard-working and honest. 27. What can we learn from Lily’s words in the last paragraph? A. Always try to be the best. B. Don’t compare ourselves with others. C. Focus on our own work. C Cats always land on their feet. Many scientists tried to find out why, but there are still some questions without answers. Now, a study shows that a cat’s spine (脊柱) may hold the key. In 1894, a scientist named Étienne-Jules Marey took the first pictures of a cat turning in the air as it fell. They showed that the cat was able to twist (扭转) in the air, so it landed on its feet. This seemed unusual. In science, if something turns in the air, it needs a force (力). However, no one knew exactly how the cat did it. In order to find out how cats do this trick, scientists at Yamaguchi University did a study. They first studied cats’ spines carefully. They found that each cat’s spine has two parts: the front half, and the back half. The front half of the spine is much lighter and more flexible (灵活的) than the back half. In fact, it can twist about three times as far as the back half. It moves like a person’s neck. Next, they watched two cats falling many times. They discovered that the cats didn’t turn over all at once. Instead, the front half turned first, and then the back half followed. This was because the front half is easier to move. The ability might also help cats when they are running fast or turning quickly. This study helped us understand how cats twist in the air. In the future, scientists hope to study more cats’ falling movements, and even create 3D models of them. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Scientists solved all the questions. B. Scientists were not interested in cats. C. The spine may explain cats’ landing. 29. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The process of the study. B. The weight of the spine. C. Different parts of a cat’s spine. 30. What do the words “the ability” in paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Cats can run faster than most other animals. B. Cats can turn quickly and easily without falling. C. Cats can move two parts of their spine in different ways. 31. What can we infer (推断) about the scientists’ further study? A. It will focus on how to make 3D models. B. It will find out more facts about cats’ movements. C. It will explain why cats run faster and faster. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Outdoor spaces play an important role in our daily lives.

In fact, the way of travelling changes a lot with age. A new study shows the differences across age groups. Different age groups travel differently. People aged 35-44 travel most. Those over 65 do not travel often, though more than 75% of them still enjoy vacations. When it comes to hotel choices, more than half of travellers aged 13-28 choose hotels with many services (服务). People aged over 65 prefer (更喜欢) common hotels. People travel for different reasons. Most people travel to rest and relax. However, for young travellers, the most important thing is to spend time with their loved ones. This shows younger travellers care more about experiences with friends and family than just having a rest. Travel spending also changes with age. Older travellers usually spend more. People over 65 spend about €750 on a trip on average. Travellers aged 18-24 spend the least, around €600.
