Many people nearby were angry with the terrible smell, but nobody seemed to take action. Our English teacher, Ms Li, said, “We ____1____ do something to help, or the river will get worse.” First, she suggested ____2____ a survey to find out what was polluting the river. While we ____3____ water samples (样本) near the old factory, we saw two pipes pouring wastewater into the river. We took photos and informed the local government ____4____ the problem. To make more people care about the river, we made posters and put them up around the neighbourhood. The posters encouraged people ____5____ throwing rubbish into the water. At first, some shop owners didn’t seem ____6____ in our project, but Ms Li kept explaining it to them again and again. “Change never comes easily,” she told us, “but small actions can add up.” On Clean-up Day, we didn’t leave the riverside ____7____ the banks were completely clean. Our hard work made ____8____ possible for the fish to come back. Some of us even found ____9____ in the shallow water—a little turtle! Everyone cheered. A month later, the government replied: the factory had been fined and the pipes were removed. This experience taught us that ____10____ young can also make a difference as long as we work together. The river is clean now, but protecting the environment is a job that never really ends. 1. A. need B. should C. may 2. A. to do B. doing C. do 3. A. collect B. collected C. were collecting 4.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者班级发现学校后方小河被污染，在李老师带领下开展调查、宣传、清理河道，最终推动工厂整改，小河恢复干净的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：李老师说：“我们应该做点事来帮忙，不然这条河会变得更糟。” 此处表达应当采取行动，should表示“应该”；need后要接to do，may意为“可以、可能”，均不符合语境。 【2题详解】 句意：首先，她建议做一项调查，查明是什么污染了这条河。 固定搭配suggest doing sth.（建议做某事），所以用doing；suggest后面不能接to do或者do，均不符。 【3题详解】 句意：当我们正在老工厂附近采集水样的时候，我们看见两根管子正在往河里排废水。 while引导时间状语从句，从句常用过去进行时were collecting，表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作；collect和collected时态不匹配。 【4题详解】 句意：我们拍了照片，把这个问题告知当地政府。 固定搭配inform sb. of sth.，表示“把某事告知某人”，介词用of；at和for不能和inform构成该搭配。 【5题详解】 句意：海报鼓励人们停止往水里扔垃圾。 固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.（鼓励某人做某事），所以用to stop；stop和stopping不符合这个固定结构。 【6题详解】 句意：一开始，一些店主似乎对我们的项目不感兴趣。 固定搭配seem interested in，表示“对……感兴趣”，修饰人用interested；interest是名词，interesting用来修饰事物，均不符。 【7题详解】 句意：在清理日那天，我们直到河岸完全清理干净才离开河边。 固定结构not…until…，表示“直到……才……”；when当……时候，while当……期间，逻辑不通。 【8题详解】 句意：我们的努力让鱼儿回来成为可能。 固定结构make it+形容词+for sth. to do sth.，it作形式宾语；this和that不能充当形式宾语。 【9题详解】 句意：我们当中有些人甚至在浅水里发现了令人惊喜的东西——一只小乌龟！ 本句是肯定句，something surprising表示“令人惊喜的某物”；anything多用于否定、疑问句，everything surprising表示所有惊喜的事物，不符合句意。 【10题详解】 句意：这次经历告诉我们，年轻人只要齐心协力，也能有所作为。 “the+形容词”表示一类人，the young指代年轻人；a、an后需接名词，此处young为形容词活用为名词表示一类人，需用the。 III.（本大题共8题，每题1分，共8分，每题只有一个正确选项） Choose the proper words or phrases in the box to complete the following passage（选择最恰当的选项填入空格，每个选项只能使用一次） A. come up with B. stepped C. set off D. report E. support Last month, our class went on a field trip to a farm in the hills.

Do Animals Laugh? Posted by Dr Kate White · 3,482 views · 36 comments We know that animals have feelings. A dog may show fear when it hears loud noises, and a cat may purr when it is happy. But here is a harder question: do animals have a sense of humor? Can they find something funny, just as we do? This week we asked our readers to share their stories. Sally Blanchard, an animal expert, tells a story about her parrot Bongo Marie. Bongo Marie didn’t get along with her other parrot, Paco. One day, Blanchard was cutting up a chicken for dinner. “Oh, no! Paco!” Bongo Marie cried, and then she laughed loudly. Blanchard laughed too and said, “That’s not Paco.” “Oh… no,” said Bongo Marie. This time, she sounded disappointed. Then the parrot laughed at her own joke. Science also has something to say. Psychologist Patricia Simonet found that dogs make a special sound—a kind of “laugh”—when they want to play. She recorded the sound and played it back to other dogs. All of them seemed to enjoy it and even started to play with the toys around them. So, can animals really laugh? Science cannot give a final answer yet. But the discussion goes on—and our readers are still voting! Comments Mike When I hide my dog’s ball, he jumps around and makes a funny sound. I’m sure he is laughing! (posted 2 hours ago) Lisa I don’t agree. I think animals only copy the sounds they hear. They can’t really understand a joke. (posted 1 hour ago) Dr Kate White (the author) Thanks, Lisa. You are not alone—many scientists say we still need more evidence (证据) . (posted 30 minutes ago) 30. The text above is most probably from ________. A. a story book B. a letter C. a poster D. a web page 31. Which of the following is one piece of evidence the writer uses to support her idea? A. A survey about what animals eat every day. B. An animal expert’s story about a parrot that laughed at its own joke. C. A study of how dogs react to different kinds of music. D. A report on which animals are the most popular in zoos. 32. According to the chart, which animal got the MOST votes? A. Dogs. B. Parrots. C. Rats. D. Other animals. 33. What does Lisa think about animal laughter? A. Dogs can laugh just like people do. B. Parrots are the funniest animals of all. C. Animals only copy sounds and cannot really laugh. D. Animals laugh only when they are hungry. 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Sally Blanchard’s parrot cried “Oh, no! Paco!” to warn her that Paco was in danger. B. Patricia Simonet found that dogs laugh when they want to play. C. Mike’s dog hides the ball under the sofa and then laughs at its owner. D. Dr Kate White believes scientists have proved that animals have a sense of humour. 35. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To describe how parrots learn to talk. B. To tell readers how to keep pet birds happy. C. To explain why dogs like to play with toys. D. To show that animals may have a sense of humor. 【答案】30. D 31. B 32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，发布在动物世界网站的趣味科普栏目，围绕“动物是否会笑、是否拥有幽默感”这一问题展开探讨，文中列举了动物专家的鹦鹉趣事、心理学家关于狗的“笑声”的研究，还展示了读者投票结果与网友评论，指出目前科学尚未能给出最终结论，相关讨论仍在继续。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。文章开头“www.animalworld.com/fun-facts/do-animals-laugh Home » Fun Facts » Do animals laugh?”和“3,482 views · 36 comments”，这些都是网页的典型特征，可推知这篇文本最有可能来自网页。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。文章第2段“Sally Blanchard, an animal expert, tells a story about her parrot Bongo Marie.”“Then the parrot laughed at her own joke.”，说明动物专家讲述的鹦鹉会笑自己玩笑的故事，是作者用来支撑观点的证据之一。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。文章投票图表“Which animal do you think can laugh? 1,268 readers voted”中Dogs对应的占比为48%，该占比是所有投票选项里最高的，说明狗的得票数最多。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。文章评论区Lisa的发言“I think animals only copy the sounds they hear. They can’t really understand a joke.”，说明Lisa认为动物只是模仿听到的声音，并不能真正理解笑话、真正地笑。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。文章第3段“Psychologist Patricia Simonet found that dogs make a special sound—a kind of “laugh”—when they want to play.”，可知Patricia Simonet发现狗在想要玩耍时会发出一种类似“笑”的特殊声音。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇提出“do animals have a sense of humour? Can they find something funny, just as we do?”的核心问题，随后通过专家故事、科学研究、读者投票等内容展开探讨，作者的写作目的是向读者展示动物可能拥有幽默感的相关依据，探讨动物是否具备幽默感。 C.（6分） Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文） Zhang Yixin is a thirteen-year-old fencer (击剑运动员) from China. After she won a silver medal at the Junior & Cadet Fencing World Championships in April 2026, a reporter from the school magazine invited her for a(n) ____36____. Reporter: Congratulations. Yixin! Many people once thought you were too young to win. ____37____, you proved them wrong and took a silver medal. Zhang: Thank you. But the road to the medal was not ____38____. In the semifinals, I faced a strong Russian player, and the match was so close that it went into overtime. Reporter: How did you feel at that moment? Zhang: For a moment I felt very ____39____—my heart beat fast and my hands shook. But I took a deep breath and told myself to stay calm. Then, with one quick move, I scored the winning touch. Reporter: You lost the final to an even stronger opponent (对手). Were you upset? Zhang: Not really. I did not get the gold medal, but being young gives me more ____40____ to learn from my mistakes. I will do better next year. Reporter: What is the most valuable thing you have learned from this match? Zhang: Staying calm in hard moments is just as important as having good skills. That was a valuable ____41____ for me. I now train even harder, and I hope to win the gold medal one day. Reporter: Those are wise words. Thank you for your time—and good luck at the next match! 36. A. poster B. movie C. interview D. complaint 37. A. However B. Besides C. As a result D. For example 38. A. difficult B. easy C. different D. rare 39. A. surprised B. bored C. proud D. nervous 40. A. dreams B. chances C. decisions D. abilities 41. A. habit B. opinion C. lesson D. support 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. B 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇访谈，主要讲述了13岁的中国击剑运动员张艺馨在获得世界青少年击剑锦标赛银牌后接受校刊记者采访的过程，分享了她的比赛经历和感悟。 【36题详解】 句意：在她于2026年4月的世界青少年击剑锦标赛上获得银牌后，校刊的一名记者邀请她进行了一次采访。 根据下文“Reporter:”和“Zhang:”的问答形式，可知这是一篇访谈记录，记者邀请她进行了一次采访，interview“采访”符合语境。poster“海报”，movie“电影”，complaint“抱怨”，均不符合语境。 【37题详解】 句意：然而，你证明他们错了，拿到了银牌。 根据前文“Many people once thought you were too young to win.”和后文“you proved them wrong and took a silver medal.”可知，前后句意存在转折关系，应用However表示“然而”。Besides“此外”，As a result“结果”，For example“例如”，均不表示转折。 【38题详解】 句意：但是通往奖牌的道路并不容易。 根据后文“In the semifinals, I faced a strong Russian player, and the match was so close that it went into overtime.”可知，比赛过程非常艰难，因此通往奖牌的道路并不“容易”，easy“容易的”符合语境。difficult“困难的”，different“不同的”，rare“罕见的”，句意不通顺。 【39题详解】 句意：有一瞬间我感到非常紧张——我的心跳加快，手发抖。 根据破折号后的解释“my heart beat fast and my hands shook”可知，这是人在紧张时的生理反应，说明她当时感到非常紧张，nervous“紧张的”符合语境。surprised“惊讶的”，bored“无聊的”，proud“骄傲的”，不符合这一表现。 【40题详解】 句意：我没有拿到金牌，但年轻给了我更多从错误中学习的机会。 根据语境，张艺馨虽然输了决赛，但她认为自己还年轻，年轻意味着未来还有很长的路要走，有更多的“机会”去从错误中学习和成长，give sb chances to do sth意为“给某人做某事的机会”。dreams“梦想”，decisions“决定”，abilities“能力”，不符合逻辑。 【41题详解】 句意：那对我来说是宝贵的一课。 根据前文记者提问“What is the most valuable thing you have learned from this match?”以及张艺馨回答的“在困难时刻保持冷静和拥有良好的技术一样重要”，可知这是她从比赛中学到的宝贵的“一课”或“经验教训”，a valuable lesson意为“宝贵的一课”。habit“习惯”，opinion“观点”，support“支持”，不符合语境。 D.（14分） Read the passage and complete the tasks（阅读短文，完成任务） The Broken Alarm Clock Tom is a boy full of curiosity. One evening, his father came home with a new alarm clock—small, silver, with two little bells. It rang loudly the next morning, and Tom began to wonder how such a small thing could make so much noise. After his father left for work, he carried it to his desk and took it apart. Inside were dozens of (几十个) small parts— wheels, springs (弹簧) and hands, fitted together like a tiny city. When he tried to put them back, a thin spring jumped out of his hand and rolled under the bed. By the time he found it, he had forgotten where the other parts belonged. The clock never rang again. That evening, Tom put the silent clock on the table and told his father the truth. Waiting for his criticism (责备) , he went red. To his surprise, his father didn’t get angry. He just took out an old book called How Things Work, “Since you want to know how things work, read this first,” he said. Tom spent the whole winter with the book. Also, he took apart old items and wrote down the name of every part in a notebook. Little by little, he learned to put them back together. Now Tom can fix small machines for his neighbours, and people in his building often bring him a broken kettle or a fan. The broken alarm clock still stands on his desk, silent. He has never tried to fix it. “It reminds me how I started,” he says. Curiosity broke the clock, but it also opened a door for Tom. Task 1. Answer the questions（回答问题） 42. Why did Tom take the alarm clock apart? __________________________________________________________________ 43. The clock could work well after Tom took it apart, couldn’t it? __________________________________________________________________ 44. How did Tom feel when he told his father the truth? __________________________________________________________________ 45. How did Tom become good at fixing machines? __________________________________________________________________ 46. What does the last sentence “opened a door for Tom” mean? __________________________________________________________________ Task 2 47. What do you think of curiosity? Share your opinion with an example in about 30 words.（你对好奇心有什么看法？请结合一个例子分享你的观点，30词左右） __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】42. Because he wondered how such a small thing could make so much noise. 43. No, it couldn’t. 44. He felt nervous and embarrassed. 45. By reading the book, taking apart old items and writing down the name of every part. 46. It means curiosity gave him a chance to learn how to fix machines. 47. I think curiosity is the key to learning. For example, Newton’s curiosity about a falling apple led him to discover gravity. It helps us explore the unknown world. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了充满好奇心的男孩Tom拆坏了闹钟，父亲没有责备他，反而给了他一本关于事物如何运作的书。在好奇心的驱使下，Tom通过阅读和实践，最终学会了修理小机器的故事。 【42题详解】 根据文章第一段“Tom began to wonder how such a small thing could make so much noise. After his father left for work, he carried it to his desk and took it apart.”可推知结论Tom是因为好奇这么小的东西怎么能发出这么大的声音才拆开闹钟的，根据原文信息作答即可。 【43题详解】 根据文章第一段“The clock never rang again.”可推知结论闹钟被拆开后不能正常工作了，题目为反意疑问句，需作否定回答。 【44题详解】 根据文章第二段“Waiting for his criticism, he went red.”可推知结论Tom告诉父亲真相时感到紧张和羞愧，根据原文信息作答即可。 【45题详解】 根据文章第三段“Tom spent the whole winter with the book.

Do Animals Laugh? Posted by Dr Kate White · 3,482 views · 36 comments We know that animals have feelings. A dog may show fear when it hears loud noises, and a cat may purr when it is happy. But here is a harder question: do animals have a sense of humor? Can they find something funny, just as we do? This week we asked our readers to share their stories. Sally Blanchard, an animal expert, tells a story about her parrot Bongo Marie. Bongo Marie didn’t get along with her other parrot, Paco. One day, Blanchard was cutting up a chicken for dinner. “Oh, no! Paco!” Bongo Marie cried, and then she laughed loudly. Blanchard laughed too and said, “That’s not Paco.” “Oh… no,” said Bongo Marie. This time, she sounded disappointed. Then the parrot laughed at her own joke. Science also has something to say. Psychologist Patricia Simonet found that dogs make a special sound—a kind of “laugh”—when they want to play. She recorded the sound and played it back to other dogs. All of them seemed to enjoy it and even started to play with the toys around them. So, can animals really laugh? Science cannot give a final answer yet. But the discussion goes on—and our readers are still voting! Comments Mike When I hide my dog’s ball, he jumps around and makes a funny sound. I’m sure he is laughing! (posted 2 hours ago) Lisa I don’t agree. I think animals only copy the sounds they hear. They can’t really understand a joke. (posted 1 hour ago) Dr Kate White (the author) Thanks, Lisa. You are not alone—many scientists say we still need more evidence (证据) . (posted 30 minutes ago) 30. The text above is most probably from ________. A. a story book B. a letter C. a poster D. a web page 31. Which of the following is one piece of evidence the writer uses to support her idea? A. A survey about what animals eat every day. B. An animal expert’s story about a parrot that laughed at its own joke. C. A study of how dogs react to different kinds of music. D. A report on which animals are the most popular in zoos. 32. According to the chart, which animal got the MOST votes? A. Dogs. B. Parrots. C. Rats. D. Other animals. 33. What does Lisa think about animal laughter? A. Dogs can laugh just like people do. B. Parrots are the funniest animals of all. C. Animals only copy sounds and cannot really laugh. D. Animals laugh only when they are hungry. 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Sally Blanchard’s parrot cried “Oh, no! Paco!” to warn her that Paco was in danger. B. Patricia Simonet found that dogs laugh when they want to play. C. Mike’s dog hides the ball under the sofa and then laughs at its owner. D. Dr Kate White believes scientists have proved that animals have a sense of humour. 35. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To describe how parrots learn to talk. B. To tell readers how to keep pet birds happy. C. To explain why dogs like to play with toys. D. To show that animals may have a sense of humor.

One evening, his father came home with a new alarm clock—small, silver, with two little bells. It rang loudly the next morning, and Tom began to wonder how such a small thing could make so much noise. After his father left for work, he carried it to his desk and took it apart. Inside were dozens of (几十个) small parts— wheels, springs (弹簧) and hands, fitted together like a tiny city. When he tried to put them back, a thin spring jumped out of his hand and rolled under the bed. By the time he found it, he had forgotten where the other parts belonged. The clock never rang again. That evening, Tom put the silent clock on the table and told his father the truth. Waiting for his criticism (责备) , he went red. To his surprise, his father didn’t get angry. He just took out an old book called How Things Work, “Since you want to know how things work, read this first,” he said. Tom spent the whole winter with the book. Also, he took apart old items and wrote down the name of every part in a notebook. Little by little, he learned to put them back together. Now Tom can fix small machines for his neighbours, and people in his building often bring him a broken kettle or a fan. The broken alarm clock still stands on his desk, silent. He has never tried to fix it. “It reminds me how I started,” he says. Curiosity broke the clock, but it also opened a door for Tom. Task 1. Answer the questions（回答问题） 42. Why did Tom take the alarm clock apart? __________________________________________________________________ 43.
