(用方框中的单词完成短文，每空格限填一词，每词只能填一次) A. interested B. plans C. changed D. recommended E. situation F. confident As my final year of high school began, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

This meant I had an 80 percent chance of developing stomach cancer at some point in my life. My doctor ____13____ an operation. While it could greatly reduce my risk of developing cancer, I worried that it might affect my ____14____ for studies and sports. After I decided to go ahead with the operation, a new hero entered my story. Before this, I had worked with my school counselor, Ms. Tedesco, on everyday school matters. She helped me organize my schedule and prepare for college. But my ____15____ made me realize that she was much more than an academic advisor. A. help B. built C. requirement D. struggles E. clear F. natural As I thought about returning to school after the operation, I was more anxious about everyday challenges than about my grades. How would I deal with lower energy levels? How would I deal with changes in my body? Would my teachers and friends notice my ____16____? If they did, how should I explain what was happening? I soon realized that I was in good hands. Ms. Tedesco ____17____ a strong support network by keeping the school nurse, my teachers and my friends informed. They worked together to make sure I got the ____18____ I needed. Their encouragement and understanding made a difficult time much easier to handle. Looking back, I can clearly see the difference a school counselor can make in a student’s life. Without Ms. Tedesco, my life might have taken a very different path. When it came time to choose a career, becoming a school counselor felt like a ____19____ path for me. While my medical condition was unusual, many students face personal challenges that affect their performance at school. During my internship (实习期) as a school counselor at a high school in Massachusetts, I saw these challenges firsthand.

(选择最恰当的答案)(每题2分，共12分) Jane Austen (简·奥斯汀) is a famous British writer who lived from 1775 to 1817. Every year on the anniversary of her birth, people all over the world hold various activities to celebrate her life and great works. Her stories mainly describe ordinary people in different daily situations, with vivid and real details, and they are still very interesting and meaningful to read today. Austen was born in a small town in England. She loved reading and writing when she was very young and started creating stories for her family in her childhood. She wrote six classic novels, and two were published after her death, letting more readers know about her wonderful writing. Her books talk about important social topics like gender, power, education and marriage through a woman’s unique eyes. For example, in Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》), Elizabeth and her four sisters have to deal with people’s old ideas about love and marriage at that time. Some people once thought Austen only wrote simple love stories. But now, many people see her as a smart social commentator (评论家) because she cleverly wrote about the social problems of her time in her novels. The Teen Magazine said, “Austen’s legacy is a timeless bridge connecting past and present.” She wrote about common people’s daily problems, their family relationships, and whether women should just marry for a living instead of following their hearts. These are still important and popular social topics discussed by people all over the world today. Back in Austen’s time, women had very few social rights and no real independence. For most women, marrying a rich or powerful man was the only way to have a safe and stable (稳定的) future. But Austen’s leading heroines were totally different. They dared to speak up for themselves and strongly wanted personal independence and true love. A reader once said about her women characters, “They are strong and honest about their real feelings, which is really precious at that time.” Because her stories talk about human problems and great ideas that never go out of style, many of them have been made into popular movies and TV shows, bringing her writing to more people. 34. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce Jane Austen’s birthplace and family background. B. To explain why people still hold activities for Austen today. C. To give a general introduction to Jane Austen and her writing style. D. To list the names of Austen’s six classic novels. 35. Which of the following social topics is NOT mentioned in Austen’s books according to the passage? A. Education. B. Power. C. Environment. D. Gender. 36. Why do many people regard Austen as a smart social commentator now? A. Because she wrote simple love stories for young readers. B. Because she showed the social problems of her time in a clever way. C. Because she published all her novels and became famous. D. Because she never cared about women’s rights. 37. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The books and ideas left behind by a person. B. A difficult social problem in the past. C. A famous movie or TV show. D. A special kind of love story. 38. How were Austen’s leading heroines different from most women of her time? A. They preferred to marry rich men for a safe future. B. They had very few social rights and no independence. C. They were brave enough to fight for true love and independence. D. They only cared about their family relationships. 39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Austen’s stories are mainly about historical wars and famous kings. B. Austen’s works have been adapted into movies and TV shows. C. Most people in Austen’s time believed women should follow their hearts. D. Austen wrote her first classic novel when she was a very young child. 【答案】34. C 35. C 36. B 37. A 38. C 39.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过与青春期儿子的共同生活，反思了成年人对青少年的刻板印象。 【40题详解】 句意：许多人认为青少年是“需要修复的问题”。 根据前文“problems”以及后文“We want them to be neat, calm ...”可知，成年人希望青少年变得整洁、冷静，意味着成年人往往把青少年看作是有缺陷或需要纠正的对象。fix“修理，纠正”符合语境。end“结束”、create“创造”、hide“隐藏”均不符合文意。 【41题详解】 句意：最让我惊讶的是青少年是多么容易改变。 根据下文描述，儿子一开始视频做得不好，但看几个教程、尝试几次后，一周后作品就变好了，这体现了青少年的适应能力和变化能力。change“改变”符合语境。begin“开始”、finish“完成”、stop“停止”均不能概括这种从生疏到熟练的变化过程。 【42题详解】 句意：他决定为学校项目学习视频剪辑，尽管他以前从未做过。 前半句“decided to learn”与后半句“never done it before”之间存在让步关系，即虽然没经验但还是决定去学。even though“尽管”引导让步状语从句，符合逻辑。because“因为”、as if“好像”、as soon as“一……就……”均不符合句意逻辑。 【43题详解】 句意：看着他提醒了我，开始时做得不好是正常的。 作者通过观察儿子的经历，重新意识到了“起步笨拙是正常的”这一道理。remind“提醒，使想起”符合语境，此处指儿子的行为让作者想起了这个被成年人遗忘的道理。require“要求”、reflect“反射，反思”、request“请求”均不符合搭配或语境。 【44题详解】 句意：我也注意到他对生活有点“无计划”是多么自在。 根据下文“If I ask him ... whether he’ll be home for dinner, he looks at me like I’m asking about next year.”以及“My own life is the opposite: I like to plan ...”可知，儿子不喜欢提前做计划，生活随性。unplanned“无计划的”符合语境。unknown“未知的”、unfair“不公平的”、uncomfortable“不舒服的”均与后文关于“计划”的对比不符。 【45题详解】 句意：朋友出现，信息发来，突然就有一次外出。 前文提到“Friends appear, messages come in”，这些通常是突发性的社交邀请，导致计划改变。suddenly“突然地”符合这种随性、即兴的语境。thoroughly“彻底地”、luckily“幸运地”、especially“尤其”均不能准确描述这种突发的社交场景。 【46题详解】 句意：看着他让我怀疑“有条理”有时是否意味着“错过”机会。 作者喜欢提前计划，而儿子随性接受邀请。作者反思过于井井有条可能会让人无法抓住突如其来的机会。missing“错过”符合语境。taking“采取”、giving“给予”、catching“抓住”与句意逻辑相反，作者是在反思过度计划带来的负面影响。 【47题详解】 句意：接下来是我们处理尚未发生之事的“不同”方式。 下文对比了作者和儿子对待未来的不同态度。different“不同的”符合语境。similar“相似的”、simple“简单的”、strange“奇怪的”均不符合对比的逻辑。 【48题详解】 句意：我看钟表，想象问题并制定备用计划。 前文提到作者去机场非常早，担心飞机因为自己眨眼就飞走了，这是一种焦虑的表现。在这种情境下，焦虑的人通常会频繁看时间。clock“钟表”符合语境。stall“摊位”、escalator“自动扶梯”、plane“飞机”虽然都在机场出现，但“watch the clock”是形容焦急等待或过度关注时间的常用搭配。 【49题详解】 句意：当然，青少年仍然需要规则和指导。 空格处与guidance“指导”并列，且是成年人对青少年通常提供的支持。rules“规则”符合常理，青少年虽然有自己的特质，但仍需要成年人的管教和引导。chances“机会”、pressure“压力”、inspiration“灵感”均不如rules与guidance搭配得当且符合教育常识。 D. Read the passage and complete the following tasks. (阅读短文并完成任务)(每题2分，共16分) Holi is India’s most colourful festival, and it celebrates the arrival of spring and the triumph (胜利) of good over evil (邪恶). Every year, people throw coloured powder at each other, dance and laugh, covering themselves and everything around them in pink, blue, yellow and green. For a few days, the whole country seems to be one big, joyful party. Holding a handful of bright powder, you can walk straight into the happy smoke and colour. Strangers become friends in minutes, and nothing is off-limits: arms, hair, clothes and faces are all a potential canvas (潜在的画布). But in India, colours are not just pretty; they carry deep meaning. Blue is the colour of the gods. In Hindu belief, Vishnu is one of the three main deities (神明), and he is often shown with blue skin. Blue reminds people that evil exists but can be controlled through courage and right actions. Krishna, another well-known god, is also drawn with blue skin, and his name means “dark”. Green is the colour of nature and happiness. It is linked to Prince Rama, who spent much of his life in the forest. In central India, married women often wear green bangles and a green sari to honour him. Red is the colour of weddings, life and festivals. Today, brides and married women wear red, and it is seen as a lucky colour not just for Hindus but also for Muslims, Buddhists and Jains. Many people also mark a red dot, called a tilak, on their foreheads. This dot is made from turmeric powder and lime, and it is a sacred (神圣的) mark of protection. Yellow is connected with merchants (商人) and with the gods, who are almost always shown dressed in yellow clothing. The traditional colours of Holi once came from flowers and herbs, which in India’s hot climate gave bright natural dyes (染料); today they are usually made in factories. Whether natural or modern, these colours remind everyone that life is full of joy and that light always wins over darkness. The festival is now celebrated by Hindus all over the world, bringing people together in a bright celebration of spring. Task 1: Answer the questions. (回答问题) 50. Does Holi celebrate the arrival of spring or the triumph of good over evil? ________________________________________________________ 51.

It celebrates both the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. 51.  Yes, they are. 52. Vishnu and Krishna. 53. Because it is a sacred mark of protection. 54. ①. they came from flowers and herbs (natural dyes) ②. they are usually made in factories 55. I will choose green. It stands for nature and happiness. It can bring good wishes to my friend. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍印度色彩缤纷的胡里节，讲述节日的意义，以及不同颜色在印度文化里承载的深层内涵、染料的古今变化。 【50题详解】 根据原文第一段“Holi is India’s most colourful festival, and it celebrates the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil.”，胡里节同时庆祝春天到来以及正义战胜邪恶。 【51题详解】 根据原文第二段“But in India, colours are not just pretty; they carry deep meaning.”，事实是色彩不只是好看，还有深层含义。 【52题详解】 根据原文第二段“In Hindu belief, Vishnu is one of the three main deities, and he is often shown with blue skin...Krishna, another well-known god, is also drawn with blue skin”，可知毗湿奴和克里希纳被描绘成蓝色皮肤。 【53题详解】 根据原文第三段“This dot is made from turmeric powder and lime, and it is a sacred mark of protection.”，这个红点是神圣的保护标记。 【54题详解】 根据原文第四段“The traditional colours of Holi once came from flowers and herbs, which in India’s hot climate gave bright natural dyes; today they are usually made in factories.”，说明过去颜色来自花草，现在通常在工厂制造。 【55题详解】 本题为开放题，答案不唯一。任选一种颜色，结合文中含义说明理由，不超过40词。 Ⅵ.

(选择最恰当的答案)(每题2分，共12分) Jane Austen (简·奥斯汀) is a famous British writer who lived from 1775 to 1817. Every year on the anniversary of her birth, people all over the world hold various activities to celebrate her life and great works. Her stories mainly describe ordinary people in different daily situations, with vivid and real details, and they are still very interesting and meaningful to read today. Austen was born in a small town in England. She loved reading and writing when she was very young and started creating stories for her family in her childhood. She wrote six classic novels, and two were published after her death, letting more readers know about her wonderful writing. Her books talk about important social topics like gender, power, education and marriage through a woman’s unique eyes. For example, in Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》), Elizabeth and her four sisters have to deal with people’s old ideas about love and marriage at that time. Some people once thought Austen only wrote simple love stories. But now, many people see her as a smart social commentator (评论家) because she cleverly wrote about the social problems of her time in her novels. The Teen Magazine said, “Austen’s legacy is a timeless bridge connecting past and present.” She wrote about common people’s daily problems, their family relationships, and whether women should just marry for a living instead of following their hearts. These are still important and popular social topics discussed by people all over the world today. Back in Austen’s time, women had very few social rights and no real independence. For most women, marrying a rich or powerful man was the only way to have a safe and stable (稳定的) future. But Austen’s leading heroines were totally different. They dared to speak up for themselves and strongly wanted personal independence and true love. A reader once said about her women characters, “They are strong and honest about their real feelings, which is really precious at that time.” Because her stories talk about human problems and great ideas that never go out of style, many of them have been made into popular movies and TV shows, bringing her writing to more people. 34. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce Jane Austen’s birthplace and family background. B. To explain why people still hold activities for Austen today. C. To give a general introduction to Jane Austen and her writing style. D. To list the names of Austen’s six classic novels. 35. Which of the following social topics is NOT mentioned in Austen’s books according to the passage? A. Education. B. Power. C. Environment. D. Gender. 36. Why do many people regard Austen as a smart social commentator now? A. Because she wrote simple love stories for young readers. B. Because she showed the social problems of her time in a clever way. C. Because she published all her novels and became famous. D. Because she never cared about women’s rights. 37. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The books and ideas left behind by a person. B. A difficult social problem in the past. C. A famous movie or TV show. D. A special kind of love story. 38. How were Austen’s leading heroines different from most women of her time? A. They preferred to marry rich men for a safe future. B. They had very few social rights and no independence. C. They were brave enough to fight for true love and independence. D. They only cared about their family relationships. 39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Austen’s stories are mainly about historical wars and famous kings. B. Austen’s works have been adapted into movies and TV shows. C. Most people in Austen’s time believed women should follow their hearts. D. Austen wrote her first classic novel when she was a very young child. C. Choose the proper words to complete the passage. (选择恰当的选项完成短文)(每题2分，共20分) What do adults usually think of teenagers? Many think teenagers are “problems to ____40____”. We want them to be neat, calm and always ready to study. But after living with my teenage son, I’m starting to think about something else: maybe adults also have things to learn from them. What surprises me most is how easily teenagers ____41____. Adults often want to be good right away. If we aren’t, we may stop and say, “I didn’t really care anyway.” My son doesn’t think like that. He decided to learn video editing for a school project, ____42____ he had never done it before. His first video looked like it was filmed on a bumpy bus. He watched a few short online lessons, tried again, failed again, and laughed the whole time. A week later, his work was already much better, with smoother transitions. Watching him ____43____ me that being bad at the start is normal. I also notice how comfortable he is with life being a little ____44____. If I ask him at 3 p.m. whether he’ll be home for dinner, he looks at me like I’m asking about next year. His plans change all the time. Friends appear, messages come in, and ____45____ there’s an outing. My own life is the opposite: I like to plan lunches and meetings days in advance. Watching him makes me wonder if “being organized” sometimes means ____46____ chances. Maybe it’s okay to say yes to a quick coffee, a short walk, or a last-minute meet-up, instead of needing everything on a calendar. Then comes the ____47____ ways we deal with things that haven’t happened. I’m the type of person who wants to get to the airport extremely early, as if the plane might leave because I blinked (眨眼). I watch the ____48____, imagine problems and build backup plans. My son puts on his headphones, walks calmly and acts like things will work out. Through his eyes, I can see myself: stressed, overprepared, and spending energy on problems that don’t even exist yet. Teenagers still need _____49_____ and guidance, of course. But if we pay attention, they can push us to take life a little less seriously. 40. A. end B. fix C. create D. hide 41. A. begin B. finish C. stop D. change 42. A. because B. as if C. even though D. as soon as 43. A. required B. reminded C. reflected D. requested 44. A. unknown B. unfair C. uncomfortable D. unplanned 45.
