II. 词汇应用(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
A. 根据括号内所给的汉语注释写出单词的正确形式:
1. I have tried ________ (几个) ways to deal with my insomnia (失眠) but none of them works.
【答案】several
【解析】
【详解】句意:我已经尝试了好几种方法来改善失眠,但没有一种管用。several形容词,意为 “几个,若干”,后面接可数名词复数(ways),符合本题语境。故填several。
2. If I try my best, a real ________ (胜利) will come to me.
【答案】victory
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果我全力以赴,真正的胜利将会属于我。形容词real后面接名词,中文提示胜利,victory表示“胜利”,所以填victory。
3. Although my father looks ________ (严肃的), he is very kind to kids.
【答案】serious
【解析】
【详解】句意:虽然我的父亲看起来很严肃,但他对孩子们非常友善。根据感官系动词looks后面需要接形容词作表语的语法规则,以及括号内“严肃的”这一中文提示可知,对应的英文单词是serious。故填serious。
4. It is important to learn how to use the right words in different ________ (情况).
【答案】situations
【解析】
【详解】句意:学习如何在不同的情况下使用正确的单词很重要。“情况”用situation表达,是可数名词,different意为“不同的”,其后接可数名词复数,situation的复数形式是situations。
5. A rainbow ________ (出现) in the sky just after the heavy rain stopped yesterday afternoon.
【答案】appeared
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天下午大雨刚停,一道彩虹就出现在了天空中。“出现”对应的英文动词是appear,句中时间状语“yesterday afternoon”表示过去的时间,句子需用一般过去时,appear的过去式是appeared。
6. Your ________ (到来) brings me much joy.
【答案】arrival
【解析】
【详解】句意:你的到来带给我很多快乐。形容词性物主代词Your后面接名词,中文提示到来,arrival表示“到来”,所以填arrival。
7. More than seventy ________ (百分之……) of the Earth’s surface (表面) is covered with water.
【答案】percent
【解析】
【详解】句意:超过百分之七十的地球表面被水覆盖。根据汉语提示“百分之……”可知填percent;percent是可数名词,但它是单位名词,前面有具体基数词限定的时候,这类单位名词保留单数形式。
B. 用所给词的适当形式填空:
8. She had a fever and felt like ________ (drink) some water to cool down.
【答案】drinking
【解析】
【详解】句意:她发烧了,想喝些水降温。drink意为“喝”,是动词;feel like doing sth.是固定短语,意为“想要做某事”。因此,此处填drink的动名词形式drinking。
9. Nancy is always active, so she chooses a difficult position instead of a ________ (comfort) job.
【答案】comfortable
【解析】
【详解】句意:南希总是很活跃,所以她选择了一个具有挑战性的职位而不是一份舒适的工作。“comfort”是名词或动词,此处修饰名词job,需用其形容词形式。comfortable意为“舒适的”,符合语境。
10. My brother usually loves outdoor activities, but to my surprise, he was kind of ________ (bore) with the camping trip we planned.
【答案】bored
【解析】
【详解】句意:我弟弟平时喜爱户外活动,但令我惊讶的是,他对这次露营旅行有点厌烦。空前有be动词was,此处填形容词作表语,主语是he,用-ed形容词表达“他感到厌烦”,故填bored。
11. My father ________ (nod) in the end and it meant we reached an agreement on the problem.
【答案】nodded
【解析】
【详解】句意:父亲最终点了头,意味着我们在这个问题上达成了共识。根据“we reached an agreement on the problem”可知,此句时态为一般过去时,空处位于主语后,填动词过去式作谓语,nod“点头”,动词,其过去式为nodded。
12. ________ (congratulate) on winning the first prize at the competition!
【答案】Congratulations
【解析】
【详解】句意:祝贺你在比赛中获得第一名。此处应用动词“congratulate”的名词复数形式“congratulations”,放在句首首字母大写,构成固定祝贺用语“Congratulations on sth.”。
13. Rubbish is ________ (actual) treasure located in the wrong place, so we should make good use of it.
【答案】actually
【解析】
【详解】句意:垃圾其实是放错地方的宝藏,所以我们应该好好利用它。空格处用来修饰整个句子,,需要用副词。actual是形容词,意为“实际的”,它的副词形式是actually,表示“实际上,其实”,故填actually。
14. The population of Vancouver was ________ (large) than that of Guangzhou in 2024.
【答案】larger
【解析】
【详解】句意:2024年,温哥华的人口数量比广州多。“than”是比较级的标志词,此处的形容词“large”应用比较级形式“larger”。
15. Climate ________ (play) an important role in the whole ecosystem.
【答案】plays
【解析】
【详解】句意:气候在整个生态系统中起着重要的作用。括号提示词为play,固定搭配play an important role表示“发挥重要作用”;主语Climate是第三人称单数,本句描述客观事实用一般现在时,谓语动词play要变为plays。
III. 完形填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
从每小题所给的A,B,C三个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述去年暑假作者参加志愿项目前往山村开展志愿活动,收获感悟,懂得传递温暖的意义。
【16题详解】
句意:出发前,我制定了一个计划,还担心这次旅途会很无聊,因为那里几乎没有现代化商店。
根据后文“worried the trip would be boring”以及出发前收拾行李、赶班车的情节,可知出发前做好安排。应选用plan;表示“计划”。wish表示“愿望”;mistake表示“错误”,二者不符合出发前做安排的语境。
【17题详解】
句意:我收拾好行李,在六点赶上早班车。
根据固定搭配catch the bus,表示“赶公交车”,结合上下文,收拾行李之后搭乘早班车出发。应选用caught;表示“赶上”。refused表示“拒绝”;missed表示“错过”,都和动身出发的逻辑不符。
【18题详解】
句意:我们到达的时候,空气感觉比城市里新鲜得多。
根据山村的环境常识,山村空气相比城市更新鲜,空后有than,用比较级。应选用fresher;表示“更新鲜的”。darker表示“更黑暗的”;heavier表示“更重的”,不能用来描述空气。
【19题详解】
句意:我们打算为孩子们搭建一个小小的阅读角。
根据阅读相关的场景,reading corner是固定表达“阅读角”。应选用corner;表示“角落”。rule表示“规则”;secret表示“秘密”,和阅读场所的语境不匹配。
【20题详解】
句意:教室或许很简陋,但是学生们珍惜他们能得到的每一本书。
根据前后两句的转折关系,教室条件简陋和学生珍惜书本形成对比。应选用but;表示“但是”。because表原因;so表结果,不符合转折逻辑。
【21题详解】
句意:一个男孩说他几乎没有机会走出大山去旅行。
根据语境,山里的孩子很难有外出旅行的机会。应选用chance;表示“机会”。risk表示“风险”;test表示“测试”,代入句意不通顺。
【22题详解】
句意:第二天,大雨中断了我们的户外工作,所以我们待在室内分享故事。
根据志愿活动的背景,原本在户外开展志愿相关工作,大雨让户外的活动无法进行。应选用work;表示“工作;活动”。message表示“信息”;dream表示“梦想”,不符合户外开展志愿任务的语境。
【23题详解】
句意:我从这次交流中收获了温暖的一课。
根据固定搭配learn a lesson,表示“学到一课、得到感悟”。应选用learned;表示“学到”。promised表示“承诺”;guessed表示“猜测”,无法和lesson搭配表达收获感悟。
【24题详解】
句意:我决定我以后一定会回来。
根据这次志愿经历带来的触动,作者下定决心以后再来。应选用surely;表示“一定;肯定”。suddenly表示“突然”;slowly表示“慢慢地”,不符合下定决心的语气。
【25题详解】
句意:这次旅行告诉我:没有什么比传递温暖更好。
根据全文主旨,本次志愿的核心是传递温暖,这句话是升华感悟。应选用nothing;表示“没有什么”。something表示“某物”;everything表示“一切”,无法表达“没有事情比传递温暖更好”的含义。

C
In recent years, some schools in China have introduced spring and autumn holidays besides the traditional summer and winter holidays. This new plan has caused a hot discussion among students, parents and teachers across the country.
Many students welcome the new holidays. They think spring and autumn offer amazing natural sights that they cannot enjoy in hot summer or cold winter. During these short breaks, they can join educational study trips, watch wild plants and animals closely, and gain first-hand knowledge from nature. After weeks of busy classes and frequent (频繁的) exams, the break lets them relax and recharge, so they can return to study with more energy and clear minds.
But quite a few parents are worried. They believe extra (额外的) holidays will cut down learning time in the classroom. They fear their children may not finish all the schoolwork and fall behind their classmates. Besides, many working parents do not have free time to look after their kids at home or arrange (安排) proper activities for them during the holidays.
Most teachers hold a different view. They say spring and autumn holidays are not just for fun. Students can take part in outdoor research, finish light housework and take careful notes about what they observe (观察) outdoors. With clear plans, they are able to pick up practical skills that textbooks cannot offer.
36. What new holiday is the passage talking about?
A. Summer and winter holidays. B. Spring and autumn holidays.
C. Weekend holidays. D. Winter and spring holidays.
37. Which word can replace the underlined word “recharge” in the passage?
A. refresh B. continue C. practice D. compare
38. What is the main worry of some parents?
A. They have to travel with kids during the holidays.
B. Kids will spend too much time reading books.
C. Children may fall behind in their schoolwork.
D. The weather will be bad in spring and autumn.
39. What do teachers advise students to do in the holidays?
A. B. C. D.
40. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Advice for making holiday plans B. Ways to enjoy long winter holidays
C. Why students should study every day D. Different opinions on spring and autumn holidays
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. C 40. D
【解析】

Deep in Antarctica, red water runs out from under a large glacier (冰川) at a place called Blood Falls. It is not real blood. When water with lots of iron (钢铁) meets the air, the iron forms rust (铁锈), making the water red.
Scientists believe that the water comes from an ancient pool that was once part of the ocean. As the land changed, ice cut off the pool from the ocean. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so the ancient water stayed liquid (液体状) while the fresh water around it turned into ice.
To learn what could live in such a place, researchers collected 167 samples (样本) of water and ice from Blood Falls and nearby areas. The scientists carefully checked these samples and looked for living things connected with the red water.
The results surprised the researchers. More different kinds of tiny living things could live there than scientists had thought. This was unusual because the places under the ice are very hard for life. There is little light, the temperature is very low, and the water has much salt. Some tiny living things may use special things in the water for energy instead of sunlight. This may tell us how life can survive in such a place.
The discovery has encouraged researchers to ask new questions about life in hard places. It may also help them know what ancient ocean life was like. There is still much to learn. Careful study helps us find out more about our world. Since this is a special icy area, researchers should care for the environment and leave as little waste as they can.
41. How does the writer start the text?
A. By raising a question. B. By describing a strange scene.
C. By giving a group of numbers. D. By talking about his own trip.
42. Why could the ancient pool stay liquid under the glacier?
A. It’s always hot under the ice.
B. Sunlight can go through the ice easily.
C. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
D. Special living things stop the water from freezing.
43. What did the researchers do to study Blood Falls?
A. They watched the red water for a long time in winter.
B. They grew tiny living things in their lab.
C. They moved some ice away to see the old pool.
D. They collected and checked water and ice samples.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The study helps people learn about ancient ocean life.
B. All tiny living things under the ice need sunlight for power.
C. Scientists have found every kind of living thing in Blood Falls.
D. Researchers can leave lots of waste after their study.
45. Which picture shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. A
【解析】

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Deep in Antarctica, red water runs out from under a large glacier at a place called Blood Falls.”可知,作者开篇描述了南极冰川下流出红色水流的奇异场景,以此引入全文的说明对象。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so the ancient water stayed liquid while the fresh water around it turned into ice.”可知,古水池能在冰川下保持液态,是因为盐水的凝固温度低于淡水。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第3段“researchers collected 167 samples of water and ice from Blood Falls and nearby areas. The scientists carefully checked these samples and looked for living things connected with the red water.”可知,研究者通过收集并检测水与冰的样本来开展对血瀑布的研究。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第5段“It may also help them know what ancient ocean life was like.”可知,这项研究能够帮助人们了解古代海洋生命的相关情况。
【45题详解】
篇章结构题。梳理全文段落逻辑:第1、2段为第一部分,并列介绍血瀑布的基本信息(红色的成因、水源及保持液态的原因);第3、4段为第二部分,并列介绍对血瀑布的研究内容(研究方法、研究结果);第5段为第三部分,总结研究的意义并提出环保倡议,与选项A的结构一致。

【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了蔗糖的来源及制作过程。
【46题详解】
第一段前文提到“Sugar is important... sugar gives us energy.”,后文提到“Most of it is from sugar cane.”,选项A“But do you know where sugar comes from?”能够承接上文,由“糖的重要性”自然过渡到“糖的来源”,引出下文对甘蔗的介绍。
【47题详解】
第二段后文提到“Then the workers put the sugar cane pieces into different machines.”,选项C“First, workers cut the sugar cane into small pieces.”能够承接上文,说明制糖的第一步操作,与后文的“Then”形成时间顺序上的逻辑衔接。
【48题详解】
第二段前文提到“Some machines crush the sugar cane pieces.”,选项D“So it is easy to get the juice.”能够承接上文,说明压碎甘蔗的目的是获取汁液,与前文形成因果关系。
【49题详解】
第三段前文提到“workers will put some things into the sugar cane juice.”,后文提到“These things can help workers remove non-sugar substances...”,选项B“Why do workers put them in the sugar cane juice?”能够承接上文,提出疑问,引出后文对添加物作用的解释。
【50题详解】
第四段前文提到“And this is syrup.”,后文提到“People put the syrup into a special box...”,选项E“Then, workers boil the sugar cane juice to make it thick.”能够承接上文,说明由汁液变为糖浆的中间步骤,与后文“将糖浆放入盒子”形成制作流程的连贯叙述。
V. 情景交际(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据英文情景提示,用得体的英语完成下列对话。
51. A: Lily, I got you a silk scarf as a gift. Here you are.
B: __________________. It’s so kind of you.
【答案】
Thank you/Thanks
【解析】
【详解】根据上文“I got you a silk scarf as a gift. Here you are.”可知,对方送了一份礼物。在英语交际习惯中,当别人赠送礼物时,应当首先表达感谢。结合下文“It’s so kind of you.”(你真是太好了),此处应填入表达感谢的日常交际用语。故填Thank you/Thanks。
52. A: How was your holiday?
B: It __________________. I spent a lot of time doing what I like.
【答案】
was good/was great/was wonderful
【解析】
【详解】此处问句“How was your holiday?”是一般过去时,主语It,be动词用was;后文说明假期体验很好,选用形容词good、great、wonderful描述感受,故填was good/was great/was wonderful。
53. — Can I borrow this book and take it home, Mr Lee?
— ________________. You can only read it here. (写出答语)
【答案】Sorry, I’m afraid you can’t/ Sorry, you can’t
【解析】
【详解】根据答句后半部分“You can only read it here”可知,李老师拒绝了对方将书借回家的请求。英语中表示委婉拒绝常用“Sorry, I’m afraid you can’t.”或“Sorry, you can’t.”,符合语境。
54. A: Which animal ________________, the cheetah or the horse?
B: The cheetah. It’s the faster one.
【答案】
runs faster
【解析】
【详解】根据“the cheetah or the horse”和答句“The cheetah.”可知,问句询问哪种动物跑得更快,故“runs faster”符合语境。
55. A: Hi, Sally! I heard you went to the West Lake. __________________?
B: Yes, I went there with my parents.
【答案】
Did you go there with your parents
【解析】
【详解】答句“Yes, I went there with my parents.”直接回答了同行的对象。因此,问句应是询问对方是否和某人一起去的,由于句子时态为一般过去时,故Did you go there with your parents符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍厦门的象征白鹭,讲述白鹭在筼筜湖栖息的现状、三十年前白鹭生存艰难的过往以及治理湖水后环境改善的变化,呼吁人与鸟类和谐共处。
【61题详解】
句意:它们看起来漂亮又洁净,而且比湖边许多其他水鸟更安静。句中出现比较级标志词than,本句将白鹭和其他水鸟对比,quiet变为比较级quieter,契合对比白鹭习性的语境。
【62题详解】
句意:小鱼和昆虫供它们食用。动词feed后面需要使用人称代词宾格作宾语,they对应的宾格是them,用来指代白鹭,说明白鹭的食物来源。
【63题详解】
句意:清晨,当你在湖边漫步,你能看见白鹭正贴着湖面缓缓飞翔。固定搭配see sb./sth. doing sth.表示“看见某物正在做某事”,此处描绘散步时亲眼看到白鹭正在飞翔的画面,fly变为flying,贴合清晨湖边的动态场景。
【64题详解】
句意:然而,三十年前,这里的白鹭数量更少,因为湖水很脏,食物也不够。前文描写白鹭如今美好的生存状态,转而叙述过去糟糕的情况,前后形成转折关系,用However 衔接,体现今昔对比的行文逻辑。
【65题详解】
句意:然而,三十年前,这里的白鹭数量更少,因为湖水很脏,食物也不够。thirty years ago是过去的时间标志,egrets是复数名词,there be句型中be动词选用were,对应过去白鹭稀少的背景。
【66题详解】
句意:它们在这里生活遇到了一个很大的难题。big problem是单数可数名词,此处泛指一个生存难题,big以辅音音素开头,搭配不定冠词a,承接上文环境恶劣的内容。
【67题详解】
句意:后来,这座城市开启一项长期工程来净化湖泊、修建湿地公园。启工程的目的是净化湖水,不定式作目的状语,clean变为to clean,说明这项治理工程的目标。
【68题详解】
句意:多亏了这项工程,它们的家园现在变得更好了。固定搭配thanks to表示“多亏;由于”,引出环境变好的原因,承接治理工程带来的积极结果。
【69题详解】
句意:它们是这座城市最美的风景。定冠词the后面常接形容词最高级,在城市众多景色中突出白鹭景观的独特性,great变为最高级greatest,升华白鹭作为城市标志的意义。
【70题详解】
句意:这提醒我们,我们真的应该和这些温和的鸟儿和谐共处。此处用来修饰情态动词should,需要副词,real对应的副词是really,用来加强呼吁和谐共处的语气。

Many Chinese traditional folk stories have been brought back to life in new films these years, and they are warmly welcomed by viewers all over the world. The summer hit, All Wishes Come True, is better known as Ba Xian! It comes from the centuries-old Chinese folk legend (传说) of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea (八仙过海), which almost every Chinese kid has heard of.
Unlike the old story we know, this movie does not start with eight powerful gods. Instead, it shows eight common, imperfect people before they turn into immortals. They come from different backgrounds and carry their own troubles and weak points. At the beginning, they argue often and fail to understand each other. But when a great danger puts the villagers in danger, they choose to set aside their disagreements and fight side by side. Each of them makes full use of his own special skills to get over difficulties.
The film amazes people with its fantastic scenes. The designers learn a lot from ancient Chinese paintings. The soft green mountains and misty (薄雾笼罩的) islands create a special Chinese beauty on screen. Since it came out, it has achieved great success in China. Soon after, it was shown in many other countries, such as Australia, Britain and the United States. Lots of foreign teenagers say they enjoy the funny story and become more interested in Chinese folk culture.
The film sends out a warm and educational message. Nobody is perfect at birth. Real strength comes from kindness, trust and teamwork. Even common people can work wonders if they support one another.

In recent years, some schools in China have introduced spring and autumn holidays besides the traditional summer and winter holidays. This new plan has caused a hot discussion among students, parents and teachers across the country.
Many students welcome the new holidays. They think spring and autumn offer amazing natural sights that they cannot enjoy in hot summer or cold winter. During these short breaks, they can join educational study trips, watch wild plants and animals closely, and gain first-hand knowledge from nature. After weeks of busy classes and frequent (频繁的) exams, the break lets them relax and recharge, so they can return to study with more energy and clear minds.
But quite a few parents are worried. They believe extra (额外的) holidays will cut down learning time in the classroom. They fear their children may not finish all the schoolwork and fall behind their classmates. Besides, many working parents do not have free time to look after their kids at home or arrange (安排) proper activities for them during the holidays.
Most teachers hold a different view. They say spring and autumn holidays are not just for fun. Students can take part in outdoor research, finish light housework and take careful notes about what they observe (观察) outdoors. With clear plans, they are able to pick up practical skills that textbooks cannot offer.
36. What new holiday is the passage talking about?
A. Summer and winter holidays. B. Spring and autumn holidays.
C. Weekend holidays. D. Winter and spring holidays.
37. Which word can replace the underlined word “recharge” in the passage?
A. refresh B. continue C. practice D. compare
38. What is the main worry of some parents?
A. They have to travel with kids during the holidays.
B. Kids will spend too much time reading books.
C. Children may fall behind in their schoolwork.
D. The weather will be bad in spring and autumn.
39. What do teachers advise students to do in the holidays?
A. B. C. D.
40. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Advice for making holiday plans B. Ways to enjoy long winter holidays
C. Why students should study every day D. Different opinions on spring and autumn holidays
D
Deep in Antarctica, red water runs out from under a large glacier (冰川) at a place called Blood Falls. It is not real blood. When water with lots of iron (钢铁) meets the air, the iron forms rust (铁锈), making the water red.
Scientists believe that the water comes from an ancient pool that was once part of the ocean. As the land changed, ice cut off the pool from the ocean. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so the ancient water stayed liquid (液体状) while the fresh water around it turned into ice.
To learn what could live in such a place, researchers collected 167 samples (样本) of water and ice from Blood Falls and nearby areas. The scientists carefully checked these samples and looked for living things connected with the red water.
The results surprised the researchers. More different kinds of tiny living things could live there than scientists had thought. This was unusual because the places under the ice are very hard for life. There is little light, the temperature is very low, and the water has much salt. Some tiny living things may use special things in the water for energy instead of sunlight. This may tell us how life can survive in such a place.
The discovery has encouraged researchers to ask new questions about life in hard places. It may also help them know what ancient ocean life was like. There is still much to learn. Careful study helps us find out more about our world. Since this is a special icy area, researchers should care for the environment and leave as little waste as they can.
41. How does the writer start the text?
A. By raising a question. B. By describing a strange scene.
C. By giving a group of numbers. D. By talking about his own trip.
42. Why could the ancient pool stay liquid under the glacier?
A. It’s always hot under the ice.
B. Sunlight can go through the ice easily.
C. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
D. Special living things stop the water from freezing.
43. What did the researchers do to study Blood Falls?
A. They watched the red water for a long time in winter.
B. They grew tiny living things in their lab.
C. They moved some ice away to see the old pool.
D. They collected and checked water and ice samples.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The study helps people learn about ancient ocean life.
B. All tiny living things under the ice need sunlight for power.
C. Scientists have found every kind of living thing in Blood Falls.
D. Researchers can leave lots of waste after their study.
45. Which picture shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
