A. cut back on B. keep up with C. look forward to D. run out of 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为了遵循无塑料的生活方式，我家决定减少使用塑料袋。——好主意。每一个小小的行动都会对我们的地球产生很大的影响。 cut back on减少，削减；keep up with跟上，赶上；look forward to期待，盼望；run out of用完，耗尽。根据语境“To follow a plastic-free way of living (为了遵循无塑料的生活方式)”以及答句“Every small action makes a big difference to our earth (每一个小小的行动都会对我们的地球产生很大的影响)”可知，前句强调的是为了环保需要“减少/削减”塑料袋的使用，应填cut back on。 2.

A. recognize B. realize C. guess D. consider 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当 90 岁的“感动中国”英雄张俊桥的故事被报道时，许多人说他们几乎无法从30年前拍摄的照片中认出他。 recognize认出；realize意识到；guess猜测；consider考虑。根据“from the photos taken 30 years ago”可知是从照片中进行辨认，结合语境人们看照片确认身份，应用recognize。 3. ________ Tom ________ his brother went to the science museum with us yesterday. ________ of them was interested in the robot show.

A. until B. because C. since D. so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：请不要离开教室，直到老师讲解完“核钟”实验，否则你会错过重点。 until直到……；because因为；since自从；既然；so所以。not…until…意为“直到…… 才……”，用来描述动作发生的时间，符合本句要表达“等老师讲完实验才可以离开教室”的语境。 7.

A. was reported; has inspired B. reported; has inspired C. was reported; inspired D. reported; inspired 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从“糖水”医生的故事被报道在网上以来，它已经激励了成千上万的人去思考如何尊重对待医务工作者。 第一空主语story与动词report之间是被动关系，需用一般过去时的被动语态was reported；since引导的时间状语从句，主句常用现在完成时，表示动作从过去持续到现在并对现在产生影响，第二空填has inspired。 8.

Maybe I should give up. —________. Success takes time. A. I’m afraid so B. That’s a good idea C. Don’t mention it D. Never give up 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我又在物理竞赛中失败了。也许我应该放弃。——永不放弃。成功需要时间。 I’m afraid so恐怕是这样；That’s a good idea好主意；Don’t mention it不客气/别提了；Never give up永远不要放弃。根据上文“Maybe I should give up.”可知说话者想要放弃，结合答语后句“Success takes time.”可知是在鼓励对方要坚持，不要放弃，应填Never give up，符合语境。 三、完形填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In early summer last year, I was walking up the hill to my house when I saw two birds, each about 60 centimeters tall, standing on the path.

B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者偶遇两只鸟，发现它们为保护雏鸟变得勇敢无畏，从而感悟到父母之爱伟大，应尊重自然的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：它们似乎没有注意到我，直到我走到它们正前方，然后它们立刻快速钻进了灌木丛。 根据“until I was right in front of them”可知，直到作者走到面前它们才有反应，说明之前没注意到，故选notice。welcome“欢迎”、follow“跟随”、believe“相信”，均不符合语境，排除。 【12题详解】 句意：想到有两只鸟要在我的前院筑巢，我十分兴奋，尽管我其实并不指望它们会这么做，因为野生鸟类通常不会把巢筑得离人类这么近。 前句说没想到它们会筑巢，后句解释原因，应用because。though“虽然”（让步）、unless“除非”（条件）、once “一旦”（条件），均逻辑不通。 【13题详解】 句意：几周后，这两只鸟又出现了。 根据“I found them crouching beside a tree”可知，作者又看到了它们，即它们出现了，故选appeared。fought“打架”、flew“飞”、screamed“尖叫”，和后文“我看见它们蹲在树旁”不匹配，排除。 【14题详解】 句意：当我靠近它们的时候，我预料它们会像上次那样跑开。 根据“like they did last time”可知，作者基于上次的经验预料它们会跑，故选expected。explained“解释”、confirmed“确认”、remembered“记得”均语义不通。 【15题详解】 句意：这似乎是在警告我不要再靠近。 根据“warn me”及鸟儿发出威胁声音可知，是不让作者靠近，故选nearer。faster“更快”、earlier“更早”、deeper“更深”均不符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：我悄悄地朝鸟儿走去，小心不做出任何突然的动作，这时它们又开始呱呱叫。 根据“not to make any sudden movements”可知，为了避免惊扰鸟儿，作者很小心，故选careful。patient“耐心的”、curious“好奇的”、polite“礼貌的”，搭配不合理。 【17题详解】 句意：鸟妈妈小心地蹲在雏鸟上方，用羽毛把幼鸟藏好。 根据“in her feathers”及保护雏鸟的语境可知，鸟妈妈把宝宝藏起来，故选hid。pulled“拉”、shook“摇晃”、touched“触摸”，均不符合护崽场景，排除。 【18题详解】 句意：我怀着敬意看着它们，突然脚下一绊摔倒在地。 根据文章最后一句“It is hard not to respect nature”可知，作者对鸟儿的行为充满敬意，故选respect。trust“信任”、courage“勇气”、confidence“自信”，语义不符，排除。 【19题详解】 句意：鸟儿把这当成了一种威胁，雄鸟朝我冲过来，张开翅膀保护雌鸟和雏鸟，同时让自己看起来体型更大。 根据“making himself appear larger”可知，公鸟展开翅膀让自己看起来更大以威慑敌人，故选spreading。shutting“关闭”、controlling“控制”、breaking“打破”，不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：我为打扰了它们而感到抱歉，于是迅速离开了。 根据“to have surprised them”可知，作者因惊扰了鸟儿而感到歉意，故选sorry。angry“生气的”、happy“开心的”、proud“骄傲的”，情感不对，排除。 四、阅读理解 (共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Films at the Museum Two English movies will be shown on Saturday afternoon at the Museum Theater.

They think you should set high expectations (期待). But is it really good? Having high expectations can be good. It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you believe that you can get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your expectations, you’ll set even higher expectations for yourself. Besides, having high expectations for yourself doesn’t only do you good. It will make a difference to others. But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high expectations can sometimes lead to mental problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. Great expectations can also let you down. This is especially true when you set expectations for other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地) . It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation. 24. What does the underlined word “motivate” probably mean? A. encourage B. beat C. surprise D. warn 25. According to the third paragraph, why were some students under serious stress? A. Because their family didn’t support them. B. Because their study results were terrible. C. Because their friends didn’t care about them. D. Because their expectations are too high to realize. 26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To tell us why we should set high expectations for others. B. To advise us to set realistic and achievable expectations. C. To explain how high expectations bring us happiness. D. To show different kinds of mental health problems. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了设定高期望的利弊，指出过高的期望会带来压力，建议设定切合实际且可实现的期望。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true.”可推知高期望能促使你尽力实现目标，具有“鼓励”之意。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect.”可推知学生压力大是因为想要完美，即期望太高难以实现。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation.”可推知作者旨在建议设定切合实际且可实现的期望。 C When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖) in 2026, many people in China felt proud. The prize is described as one of the highest honors in mathematics. But for Wang, the road to that moment was not a straight line. It looked more like the famous “needle” (针) in the Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想): it kept turning, testing new directions before finding enough space. Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. Because her skin was sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent much time indoors. Instead, the difficult experience helped her learn how to read alone. In primary school, she skipped two grades. Her father, a maths teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Wang later said maths was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was excited when she solved a problem. Her parents did not push her along a fixed road. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support. At middle school, she loved asking questions and sometimes thought about easy problems in surprisingly complex (复杂的) ways. She was younger than most classmates. Once, a classmate laughed at her for raising her hand too often Her teacher Tang Nianhua encouraged her and helped her join a “Daily Problem” group, where her mathematical thinking grew sharper. At Peking University, her road was not smooth either. Later at MIT (麻省理工学院), she even stopped maths for a while and explored art and architecture (建筑). In the end, she returned. “In mathematics, I can freely build anything,” she once said. Years of doubt detours (弯路) and repeated trying did not pull her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you gain something in the end, it does not matter whether you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time. 27. Why does the writer compare Wang Hong’s life to the “needle” in the Kakeya conjecture? A. Because she never gave up even when she faced difficulties. B. Because she was very thin and small when she was young. C. Because she liked to work out hard math problems very much. D. Because she tried different directions before finding her way. 28. What can we infer about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her? A. It helped her develop the habit of thinking about problems in surprising ways. B. It showed that they trusted her to make decisions about her own studies. C. It allowed her to develop her own interests without being pushed into a fixed path. D. It allowed her to skip grades and enter different schools at a young age. 29. What do we know about Wang Hong’s middle school life? A. She was taught by her parents to think in unusual ways. B. She showed a habit of thinking differently from others about simple questions. C. She was often laughed at because she asked too many questions. D. She was younger than her classmates, so she had to work much harder than them. 30. What is the main message of this passage? A. Hard work is the only thing that matters for success. B. A successful person never changes their mind or direction. C. Teachers and parents are the most important people in a student’s life D. People may have doubts, take different paths, and still achieve great things in the end. 【答案】27. D 28. C 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了王虹在2026年获得菲尔兹奖的成长历程，重点描述了她求学路上的波折、父母给予的自由支持以及她面对困难坚持探索的精神，最终揭示了经历弯路也能取得伟大成就的核心主题。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It looked more like the famous ‘needle’... it kept turning, testing new directions before finding enough space.”可推知，作者将王虹的人生比作针，是因为针在找到足够空间前会不断转向测试新方向，对应王虹在找到最终道路前尝试了不同方向。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Her parents did not push her along a fixed road. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support.”可推知，父母给予的自由意味着不逼迫她走固定道路，允许她在没有强制路径的情况下发展自己的兴趣。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At middle school, she loved asking questions and sometimes thought about easy problems in surprisingly complex ways.”可推知，中学时期她习惯用令人惊讶的复杂方式思考简单问题，表现出与他人不同的思考习惯。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“Years of doubt, detours and repeated trying did not pull her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a stronger mind.”可推知，文章旨在传达人们可能会心存疑惑、走上弯路，但坚持努力最终仍能取得伟大成就。 五、还原信息 (共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know Mo’s Chicken Pot? It is a small restaurant in a village in Guangdong. The owner, Uncle Mo, has run it for six years. In the past, this restaurant had about ten tables of customers each day. Life was slow and peaceful. ____31____ One day, a famous blogger visited the shop and took a video about his restaurant. In the video, Uncle Mo looked worried and said, “If you make my business too good, I can’t handle it!” This simple sentence became a huge hit. The video got over 150 million views on Douyin. This made many people across the country come to know Uncle Mo and his chicken pot. Soon, things went crazy. People waited in line at 6 a.m. Some drove 2,000 kilometers and even slept in their cars just to try the chicken pot. ____32____ Daily customers jumped from 10 to 200. Uncle Mo became exhausted. But here’s the strangest part—the more he tried to refuse customers, the more people came. Uncle Mo’s story is not special. Over the years, China has seen many similar “viral” crazes: Zibo barbecue, “Chicken Pot Ge” from Jingdezhen, and “Zhou Bing Lun” who looks like Jay Chou. In most cases, the crazy crowds leave after a few months. ____33____ They also know that their 15 minutes of fame will not last forever. So, what should we, as students, learn from all this? First, don’t believe everything you see online. Second, don’t follow crowds blindly just because “Everyone is doing it.” And third, remember that behind every “viral” story, there is often an ordinary person who just wants a normal life. Next time you see a long line on social media, ask yourself: Do I really need to go, or am I just following the crowd? ____34____ A. Some even camped outside Uncle Mo’s house for three days, hoping to take a selfie with him. B. Then one video changed everything. C. The blogger carefully planned this video to make Uncle Mo’s restaurant famous nationwide. D. Uncle Mo sold his restaurant quickly and moved to another city for a new job. E. This way, you can make more rational decisions and avoid unnecessary trouble. F. Some of these suddenly famous people even said, “It’s just okay. The food isn’t that special.” 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. F 34. E 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述广东莫叔鸡煲店因一条视频意外走红，借此告诉我们不要盲目跟风。 【31题详解】 前文提到“In the past, this restaurant had about ten tables of customers each day. Life was slow and peaceful.”，前文介绍莫叔的餐馆往日生意平淡、日子安宁，后文讲述博主拍视频让餐馆爆火。B选项“Then one video changed everything.”表示然后一段视频改变了一切，承上启下，引出下文视频走红的故事，符合语境逻辑。 【32题详解】 前文提到“Some drove 2,000 kilometers and even slept in their cars just to try the chicken pot.”，前文列举人们远道而来吃鸡煲的狂热行为，本空继续描写人们疯狂慕名前来的表现。A选项“Some even camped outside Uncle Mo’s house for three days, hoping to take a selfie with him.”表示有些人甚至在莫叔屋外露营三天，希望和他合影，顺着前文继续体现食客的狂热，与上文属于同一话题。 【33题详解】 前文提到“In most cases, the crazy crowds leave after a few months.”，前文指出这类爆红热度大多持续数月就消退，后文提到他们也明白爆红不会永久。F选项“Some of these suddenly famous people even said, ‘It’s just okay. The food isn’t that special.’”表示一些突然走红的人甚至说“也就一般，食物并没有那么特别”，衔接热度褪去，体现当事人清醒的心态，承接该话题。 【34题详解】 前文提到“Next time you see a long line on social media, ask yourself: Do I really need to go, or am I just following the crowd?”，前文建议大家面对网红排队热潮先自问，E选项“This way, you can make more rational decisions and avoid unnecessary trouble.”表示这样你就能做出更理性的决定，避开不必要的麻烦，代词This way指代上文的思考方式，收束全文，升华主旨。 六、阅读表达 (共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后问题。 (前3题每题答案不超过10个词) Blue light exists all around us in daily life. It is a part of visible light. It comes from many sources, including sunlight, mobile phones, computer screens and indoor LED lights. People often believe all blue light is harmful to our body, but this is not the truth. Natural blue light from the sun plays an active role. It helps keep us awake in the daytime, controls our body clock, lifts our spirits and improves our concentration for study and work. However, man-made blue light from electronic screens becomes a hidden trouble when we use devices late at night. Our brain makes melatonin, a special chemical. It tells our body it is time to rest and fall asleep. Screen blue light will slow down the production of melatonin. If we keep looking at screens before bed, we will feel less sleepy. Poor sleep influences teenagers greatly. It makes it difficult for them to concentrate in class and weakens their immune system. Teens may easily feel tired or catch a cold. Luckily, we can take simple steps to reduce its bad influence. Cut down screen time at least one hour before bedtime. Use warm yellow lights instead of cool white LED lights at night. When you have to use screens, turn on the night mode. Experts remind us that we do not need to avoid blue light completely. What really matters is to manage our screen time wisely. 35.

They say, “A pinkie promise must ____39____ (keep) for 100 years.” Then they may press their thumbs together ____40____ (complete) the promise. Sometimes, friends will hook ____41____ (they) pinkies and promise to be together forever. Where does the pinkie promise come from? There are many different theories (理论) on its origin. Some say it ____42____ (come) from a nursery rhyme (童谣). Others say it was introduced from a Western love story. One theory is that it may have something to do ____43____ the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for “finger” also means “aim” (referring to people’s thoughts), ____44____ hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of thoughts. ____45____ (general), hooking fingers means making ____46____ important promise. In some movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his or her little finger cut off! Of course, it is ____47____ (possible) for such a thing to happen in real life. But we can still see ____48____ serious “pinkie promises” can be. The next time you hook pinkies with someone, remember to be careful with your promise! 【答案】39. be kept 40. to complete 41. their 42. comes 43. with 44. so 45. Generally 46. an 47. impossible 48. how 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了在中国“拉钩”这一习俗的来源和意义。 【39题详解】 句意：拉钩许下的诺言必须遵守一百年。主语“A pinkie promise”与动词“keep”之间是被动关系，且空前有情态动词must，需用情态动词的被动语态“must be+过去分词”，keep的过去分词是kept。 【40题详解】 句意：然后他们可能会把大拇指按在一起以完成这个诺言。句中已有谓语动词press，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式to complete作目的状语。 【41题详解】 句意：有时，朋友们会勾起他们的小指，并承诺永远在一起。设空处修饰名词pinkies，应用形容词性物主代词their。 【42题详解】 句意：有人说它来自一首童谣。此处陈述的是普遍观点，应用一般现在时；从句主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词需用单三形式comes。 【43题详解】 句意：一种理论是，它可能与手指在中国文化中的作用有关。此处考查固定搭配have something to do with...，意为“与……有关”。 【44题详解】 句意：汉字“指”也有“旨”(指人们的思想)的意思，所以勾手指可以被看作是思想的交流。前后两句为因果关系，前因后果，应用连词so表示“所以”。 【45题详解】 句意：一般来说，勾手指意味着许下一个重要的诺言。设空处位于句首修饰整个句子，作状语，应用副词形式Generally，且首字母需大写。 【46题详解】 句意：一般来说，勾手指意味着许下一个重要的诺言。promise为可数名词单数，此处泛指“一个重要的诺言”，且important以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。 【47题详解】 句意：当然，在现实生活中发生这样的事情是不可能的。分析句子结构及语境可知，现实生活中因为违背诺言而被切掉手指是不可能发生的，应用possible的反义词impossible作表语。 【48题详解】 句意：但我们仍然可以看出“拉钩”有多么严肃。设空处引导宾语从句，且修饰形容词serious，表示程度“多么”，应用how。 八、书面表达 (共1题；满分15分) 49. 假如你是李华，你的英国朋友Amy近期一直在思考如何成为更优秀的青少年，她想提升自我、塑造良好品格，特此向你请教。请你根据以下提示写一封回信，分享你的成长感悟，要点如下： 1. 不要只看重外表，内在品质更重要；…… 2. 勇敢面对困难：…… 3. 合理规划时间，完善自我、发挥个人优势：…… 参考词汇： appearance (n.) 外表；value (n.) 价值 注意： 1. 文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称： 2. 词数100左右；文章的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Amy, I’m glad you want to improve yourself and become a better teenager. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 例文： Dear Amy, I’m glad you want to improve yourself and become a better teenager.

Johnson Good Helper Do your children enjoy interesting stories, funny games, and exciting dances? Johnson Good Helper will be ready to teach all these things to children at the City Theater on Sunday morning at 10:00 for free. International Food Party Are you tired of eating the same food every day? Come to the Central Park on Saturday and enjoy food from all over the world. Delicious and not expensive. The party is from noon to 5:00 p.m. Don’t Miss the Ball Game It’s October, and Saturday night (7:00-9:00) is your last chance to see the Red Birds this year. Get your tickets at the box office of the Sports Center. It might be cold. Don’t forget to bring sweaters and jackets. 21. Children can learn exciting dances at ________. A. the Museum Theater B. the Central Park C. the City Theater D. the Sports Center 22. According to the passage, the Red Birds is probably ________. A. a ball game B. a food party C. a funny show D. an English movie 23. Mr. Carson wants to have a nice Saturday afternoon. He can ________. A. attend an international concert and watch a ball game B. watch a ball game and have some international food C. enjoy interesting stories with his kids and see a film D. try some international food and watch an English movie B If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home”. They think you should set high expectations (期待). But is it really good? Having high expectations can be good. It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you believe that you can get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your expectations, you’ll set even higher expectations for yourself. Besides, having high expectations for yourself doesn’t only do you good. It will make a difference to others. But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high expectations can sometimes lead to mental problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. Great expectations can also let you down. This is especially true when you set expectations for other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地) . It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation. 24. What does the underlined word “motivate” probably mean? A. encourage B. beat C. surprise D. warn 25. According to the third paragraph, why were some students under serious stress? A. Because their family didn’t support them. B. Because their study results were terrible. C. Because their friends didn’t care about them. D. Because their expectations are too high to realize. 26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To tell us why we should set high expectations for others. B. To advise us to set realistic and achievable expectations. C. To explain how high expectations bring us happiness. D. To show different kinds of mental health problems. C When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖) in 2026, many people in China felt proud. The prize is described as one of the highest honors in mathematics. But for Wang, the road to that moment was not a straight line. It looked more like the famous “needle” (针) in the Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想): it kept turning, testing new directions before finding enough space. Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. Because her skin was sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent much time indoors. Instead, the difficult experience helped her learn how to read alone. In primary school, she skipped two grades. Her father, a maths teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Wang later said maths was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was excited when she solved a problem. Her parents did not push her along a fixed road. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support. At middle school, she loved asking questions and sometimes thought about easy problems in surprisingly complex (复杂的) ways. She was younger than most classmates. Once, a classmate laughed at her for raising her hand too often Her teacher Tang Nianhua encouraged her and helped her join a “Daily Problem” group, where her mathematical thinking grew sharper. At Peking University, her road was not smooth either. Later at MIT (麻省理工学院), she even stopped maths for a while and explored art and architecture (建筑). In the end, she returned. “In mathematics, I can freely build anything,” she once said. Years of doubt detours (弯路) and repeated trying did not pull her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you gain something in the end, it does not matter whether you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time. 27. Why does the writer compare Wang Hong’s life to the “needle” in the Kakeya conjecture? A. Because she never gave up even when she faced difficulties. B. Because she was very thin and small when she was young. C. Because she liked to work out hard math problems very much. D. Because she tried different directions before finding her way. 28. What can we infer about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her? A. It helped her develop the habit of thinking about problems in surprising ways. B. It showed that they trusted her to make decisions about her own studies. C. It allowed her to develop her own interests without being pushed into a fixed path. D. It allowed her to skip grades and enter different schools at a young age. 29. What do we know about Wang Hong’s middle school life? A. She was taught by her parents to think in unusual ways. B. She showed a habit of thinking differently from others about simple questions. C. She was often laughed at because she asked too many questions. D. She was younger than her classmates, so she had to work much harder than them. 30. What is the main message of this passage? A. Hard work is the only thing that matters for success. B. A successful person never changes their mind or direction. C. Teachers and parents are the most important people in a student’s life D. People may have doubts, take different paths, and still achieve great things in the end. 五、还原信息 (共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know Mo’s Chicken Pot? It is a small restaurant in a village in Guangdong. The owner, Uncle Mo, has run it for six years. In the past, this restaurant had about ten tables of customers each day. Life was slow and peaceful. ____31____ One day, a famous blogger visited the shop and took a video about his restaurant. In the video, Uncle Mo looked worried and said, “If you make my business too good, I can’t handle it!” This simple sentence became a huge hit. The video got over 150 million views on Douyin. This made many people across the country come to know Uncle Mo and his chicken pot. Soon, things went crazy. People waited in line at 6 a.m. Some drove 2,000 kilometers and even slept in their cars just to try the chicken pot. ____32____ Daily customers jumped from 10 to 200. Uncle Mo became exhausted. But here’s the strangest part—the more he tried to refuse customers, the more people came. Uncle Mo’s story is not special. Over the years, China has seen many similar “viral” crazes: Zibo barbecue, “Chicken Pot Ge” from Jingdezhen, and “Zhou Bing Lun” who looks like Jay Chou. In most cases, the crazy crowds leave after a few months. ____33____ They also know that their 15 minutes of fame will not last forever. So, what should we, as students, learn from all this? First, don’t believe everything you see online. Second, don’t follow crowds blindly just because “Everyone is doing it.” And third, remember that behind every “viral” story, there is often an ordinary person who just wants a normal life. Next time you see a long line on social media, ask yourself: Do I really need to go, or am I just following the crowd? ____34____ A. Some even camped outside Uncle Mo’s house for three days, hoping to take a selfie with him. B. Then one video changed everything. C. The blogger carefully planned this video to make Uncle Mo’s restaurant famous nationwide. D. Uncle Mo sold his restaurant quickly and moved to another city for a new job. E. This way, you can make more rational decisions and avoid unnecessary trouble. F. Some of these suddenly famous people even said, “It’s just okay. The food isn’t that special.” 六、阅读表达 (共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后问题。 (前3题每题答案不超过10个词) Blue light exists all around us in daily life. It is a part of visible light. It comes from many sources, including sunlight, mobile phones, computer screens and indoor LED lights. People often believe all blue light is harmful to our body, but this is not the truth. Natural blue light from the sun plays an active role. It helps keep us awake in the daytime, controls our body clock, lifts our spirits and improves our concentration for study and work. However, man-made blue light from electronic screens becomes a hidden trouble when we use devices late at night. Our brain makes melatonin, a special chemical. It tells our body it is time to rest and fall asleep. Screen blue light will slow down the production of melatonin. If we keep looking at screens before bed, we will feel less sleepy. Poor sleep influences teenagers greatly. It makes it difficult for them to concentrate in class and weakens their immune system. Teens may easily feel tired or catch a cold. Luckily, we can take simple steps to reduce its bad influence. Cut down screen time at least one hour before bedtime. Use warm yellow lights instead of cool white LED lights at night. When you have to use screens, turn on the night mode. Experts remind us that we do not need to avoid blue light completely. What really matters is to manage our screen time wisely. 35. Where does natural blue light come from? _____________________________________________________________ 36. What slows down melatonin production? _____________________________________________________________ 37. When should we reduce screen time? _____________________________________________________________ 38. Do you think teenagers should stop using phones before bed? Why or why not? _____________________________________________________________ 七、综合填空 (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所给单词的正确形式。 In China, children like to make promises by hooking their pinkies—the little fingers—with each other.
