When I first saw Lila in our school last term, I felt she was quite ____1____—she only brought a notebook and a tape (录音带) recorder to lessons. We hurried to write down every word the teacher said, ____2____ she just sat quietly, eyes on the blackboard. One day, our math teacher gave a surprise test. Most of us didn’t know how to answer the questions. However, Lila finished it very ____3____. When the teacher showed her paper with full marks to all of us, someone finally asked, “How do you remember everything without ____4____?” Lila smiled and played a short recording. It was the teacher’s voice explaining (解释) key points. “I don’t write every word,” she said. “I record the parts I might ____5____, then listen to them while walking home. Writing down too much makes me ____6____ the teacher’s explanations.” We soon noticed more about her. After class, she often stayed to ask the teacher follow-up questions. When she made mistakes in homework, she would write down the ____7____ clearly, not just the right answers. What surprised me most was her willingness to help others. Once, she spent three lunch breaks helping our classmate understand grammar rules—she ____8____ made simple cards for him. Now ____9____ thinks Lila is strange. She teaches us that being a good learner isn’t about working the hardest, but working the ____10____. It means listening carefully, asking questions bravely, and never being afraid to correct mistakes. True learning, as Lila shows us, is a journey of understanding, not just recording. 1.

When you get up at last, you may miss breakfast, but lunch is still a few hours away. So what will you do? Well, brunch is a good choice. Brunch gets its name from the first two letters (字母) of breakfast and the last four letters of lunch. Sometimes, it puts breakfast into an art form. For example, fruit pancakes may take the place of our daily pancakes for brunch. Brunch is getting more and more popular among young people because beautiful brunches help them get more “likes” on social media. In Australia, the young are the fans of brunch as well. So I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a famous flower-themed café. There were all kinds of fresh and nice flowers. The food and drinks also had this theme. They used roses to decorate a pink rose tea. It tasted as sweet as it looked. For the main dish, I ordered the soft-shell crab (软壳螃蟹). The crab was in a bread bowl with some fruit around. The brunch tasted great. I was full after having such a big meal, but I still wanted to have another one. 14. Brunch may happen at about________. A. 8:00 a.m B. 10:30 a.m C. 12:30 p.m D. 5:00 p.m 15. What do we know about brunch? A. It’s always more expensive than breakfast. B. Artists create it. C. People eat brunch more quickly than other meals. D. The word comes from “breakfast” and “lunch”. 16. What does the writer think of brunch? A. It is very delicious. B. It is healthier than breakfast. C. It is more important than lunch. D. It helps us save time. 17. In the future, brunch may be a new way for people to________. A. make friends B. save money C. become artists D. get good grades 【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A 17. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了早午餐的名称由来、在年轻人中流行的原因，并通过作者在澳大利亚的经历描述了早午餐的食物特色及作者的感受。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第1段“When you get up at last, you may miss breakfast, but lunch is still a few hours away.”可推知早午餐的时间介于早餐和午餐之间，早餐通常在早上8点左右，午餐在中午12点左右，因此10:30 a.m最符合这一时间段。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast and the last four letters of lunch.”可知该单词是由breakfast 的前两个字母和lunch的后四个字母组合而成。 【16题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第5段“The brunch tasted great.”可推知作者对早午餐的评价很高，认为它非常美味。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“beautiful brunches help them get more ‘likes’ on social media.”可推知社交媒体上的互动有助于人际交流，因此早午餐可能成为人们交友的一种新方式。 C The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage (马车) and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Be hopeful and keep busy!” said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” answered Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls followed Jo’s rule and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. This didn’t trouble her at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework, so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too. She was never unhappy about it. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family. —Taken from Little Women 18. Why did the girls wave their hands cheerfully? A. Because they really felt happy at that time. B. Because they didn’t want their mother to worry about them. C. Because they thought they would be free to do whatever they wanted. D.

Staying at home because of being ill. C. Reading books on the sofa. D. Going to Aunt March’s. 20. What kind of person is Beth according to the last paragraph? A. Shy and quiet. B. Brave and clever. C. Lazy and careless. D. Kind and hard-working. 21. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why the girls loved their mother. B. How the girls kept busy and hopeful. C. What the girls did for the poor family. D. How the girls learned to do housework. 【答案】18. B 19. B 20. D 21. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自《小妇人》，主要讲述马奇太太离开后，女孩们牢记母亲“保持忙碌，不要失去希望”的叮嘱，各自努力生活一周的故事。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!”和第六段“The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside.”可知，女孩们内心悲伤但表面高兴挥手，是为了不让母亲担心。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. This didn’t trouble her at all”可知，This指代前文提到的Jo生病不得不待在家里的这件事。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too... And every day she took some food to the Hummel family.”可知，Beth既勤奋又善良。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕母亲离开前叮嘱“Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!”，随后描述了女孩们在母亲离开后各自忙碌并保持乐观的生活状态，因此文章主要讲述了女孩们如何保持忙碌和充满希望。 D ①Blind boxes have become very popular toys in China. The idea is simple: the buyers will not know which toy it is before they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling. You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck. ②Pop Mart is a famous company. It began as a small shop in Beijing’s Zhongguancun area selling different kinds of products. Later, the company found that toys were the most popular and best-selling products. ________ ③The idea for blind boxes was from Gashapon (扭蛋机) in Japan, which sells blind toys. Although the toys inside Pop Mart’s blind boxes cost only about 2 dollars, they sell for around 8 dollars each. This brings the company a lot of money. Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion (十亿) yuan in revenue (收入) in the year of 2023,1.7 billion yuan more compared with (与……相比) 2022. ④Now young people really like this kind of toy. Some buyers have collected over 1,000 dolls. In their eyes, the dolls are symbols of their characters, or they just want to share something cute. ⑤However, the blind boxes are as hard to stop as gambling. Some toys are hard to get, so people sell them at higher prices in the second-hand markets. Some countries make rules to control the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules are made to stop over-marketing and help protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated. ⑥To keep growing, Pop Mart needs to keep making something new and sell more toys. Labubu was a big success. The founder wishes that Pop Mart can be a world-famous company like Disney one day. 22. What does the underlined word “gambling” in paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A. 经历 B. 买卖 C. 赌博 D. 尝试 23. Which sentence can be put in the ________ in paragraph 2? A. So they decided to make toys their main products. B. However, they stopped selling other things at once. C. So they tried to learn from a Japanese company. D. Because they wanted to be famous around the world. 24. Which of the following can show the revenue of Pop Mart in 2022 and 2023? A. B. C. D. 25. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Young people will lose interest in blind boxes because of the price. B. People can’t buy blind boxes outside Beijing. C. More countries may set rules for selling blind boxes. D. Pop Mart will surely become the next Disney. 【答案】22. C 23. A 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，围绕盲盒这一流行玩具展开，介绍了盲盒的特点、泡泡玛特公司的发展历程与营收情况，盲盒受年轻人喜爱的原因，同时提及盲盒存在的问题及部分国家的监管措施，最后说明了泡泡玛特的未来发展目标。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第1段“the buyers will not know which toy it is before they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling. You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck.”可知，盲盒在拆开前无法知晓内部的玩具款式，人们需要靠运气获得想要的物品，这一特点和赌博相符，因此gambling的中文意思是“赌博”。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第2段“Later, the company found that toys were the most popular and best-selling products.”可知，泡泡玛特最初售卖各类商品，在发现玩具是最受欢迎、销量最高的产品后，顺承因果逻辑会选择将玩具作为主营产品，符合上下文的行文衔接规律。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion yuan in revenue in the year of 2023,1.7 billion yuan more compared with 2022.”可计算得出2022年泡泡玛特的营收为6.3-1.7=4.6十亿元，且2023年营收高于2022年，与选项A的内容一致。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第5段“Some countries make rules to control the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules are made to stop over-marketing and help protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated.”可知，部分国家出台的盲盒销售管控规则效果良好，能够规范市场、保护消费者，由此可以推断可能会有更多国家针对盲盒销售制定相关规则。 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并从答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know the skies are blue on sunny days. But do you notice the color of the mountains? ____26____ In fact, all mountains look blue from a faraway place. It’s really a magical thing. Do you know what’s the reason for the blue skies and blue mountains? ____27____ Sunshine is a mix of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. The light in different colors has a different wavelength. Blue light has the shortest one. The atmosphere (大气层) is full of very small air molecules (分子). When light meets them, it gets scattered (散射) around. ____28____ Blue light is about half the wavelength of red light and it gets scattered much more easily than red light. ____29____ More distance (距离) from a mountain means more atmosphere. Finally, we only see blue light. The mountain disappears into the sky. The same thing happens with tall buildings, too. ____30____ A. However, when it is cloudy or rainy, the sky may turn grey or white. B. So blue is the main color of the atmosphere. C. This interesting science is very useful in our life. D. You can find the answer from the science of sunshine. E. You may say mountains are certainly green because of trees. F. That means when meeting air molecules, light goes to different directions (方向). G. You needn’t feel surprised when you see blue mountains or buildings far away next time. 【答案】26. E 27. D 28. F 29. B 30. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要解释了为什么晴朗的天空是蓝色的，以及为什么远处的山脉看起来也是蓝色的，其科学原理在于阳光的散射。 【26题详解】 根据上文“We all know the skies are blue on sunny days. But do you notice the color of the mountains?”可知，作者提出了一个问题：大家是否注意到了山的颜色？接着给出了一般人的常规认知。选项E“You may say mountains are certainly green because of trees.”正好回答了作者的问题，符合语境。 【27题详解】 根据下文“Sunshine is a mix of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. The light in different colors has a different wavelength.”可知，下文开始详细解释阳光是由不同颜色的光组成的，这与“阳光的科学”有关。选项D“You can find the answer from the science of sunshine.”起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。 【28题详解】 根据上文“When light meets them, it gets scattered (散射) around.”可知，光线遇到大气分子时会向四周散射。选项F“That means when meeting air molecules, light goes to different directions (方向).”是对“scattered”一词的具体解释，符合语境。 【29题详解】 根据上文“Blue light is about half the wavelength of red light and it gets scattered much more easily than red light.”可知，蓝光的波长短，比红光更容易被散射。结合下文“Finally, we only see blue light.”可知，此处需要总结由于蓝光散射得多，所以大气层主要呈现蓝色。选项B“So blue is the main color of the atmosphere.”符合逻辑。 【30题详解】 根据上文“The same thing happens with tall buildings, too.”可知，远处的高楼看起来也会变蓝。选项G“You needn’t feel surprised when you see blue mountains or buildings far away next time.”作为文章结尾，总结并呼应了前文的现象，符合语境。 五、词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给英文或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31. We should always remember those great ________ (发明家) names because they changed the world. 【答案】 inventors’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该永远记住那些伟大发明家的名字，因为他们改变了世界。 空前有“those great”修饰，空后是“names”，此处需要填入名词所有格来修饰names。根据汉语提示“发明家”可知，英文对应单词是inventor。因为指代多位发明家，且表示“发明家们的（名字）”，应用复数名词的所有格形式。inventor的复数形式为inventors，以s结尾的复数名词所有格直接在词尾加“’”。 32. It is exciting but a little dangerous to surf ________ (逆) the big waves in the sea. 【答案】against 【解析】 【详解】句意：迎着海上的大浪冲浪很刺激，但有点危险。 根据中文提示 “逆” 以及固定搭配surf against the waves（迎着浪冲浪），此处填介词against。 33. When the teacher asked if we were ready for the trip, the whole class ________ (点头) excitedly. 【答案】nodded 【解析】 【详解】句意：当老师问我们是否准备好去旅行时，全班都激动地点头。空处作主句的谓语，应填动词。根据汉语提示可知，“点头”用nod表示。从句为一般过去时，主句时态保持一致。故填nodded。 34. Many of Eric’s ________ (建议) on keeping healthy are very useful. 【答案】suggestions 【解析】 【详解】句意：Eric很多关于保持健康的建议都很有用。空处位于名词所有格Eric’s后面，应填名词。根据汉语提示可知，“建议”可以用不可数名词advice或可数名词suggestion表示。前面有Many of，说明后面要用可数名词复数。故填suggestions。 35. After trying the new VR game, my cousin became much ________ (狂热的) about it than before. 【答案】crazier 【解析】 【详解】句意：尝试了新的VR游戏后，我的表弟对它比以前更加狂热了。根据中文提示可知，“狂热的”对应的英文是crazy，是形容词，此处作表语，根据“than before”及“much”可知，用比较级形式，故填crazier。 36. What really sets this young singer a________ from others is her special and sweet voice. 【答案】apart##part 【解析】 【详解】句意：真正让这位年轻歌手脱颖而出的，是她独特甜美的嗓音。根据“sets this young singer… from others”和首字母提示可知，本句用固定搭配set… apart from…，表示“使……与众不同/使……有别于……”。故填apart。 37. After the birthday party, the living room was in a m________. We need to clean it up now. 【答案】mess##ess 【解析】 【详解】句意：生日派对过后，客厅一片狼藉，我们现在得打扫一下。空处位于不定冠词a后面，应填可数名词单数。根据后一句“We need to clean it up now.”以及首字母提示可知，此处指一片狼藉，用固定搭配in a mess表示。故填mess。 38. Every morning, my mother f________ my water bottle with warm water before I leave for school. 【答案】fills##ills 【解析】 【详解】句意：每天早上，在我动身去上学之前，妈妈都会把我的水瓶装满温水。空处作句子的谓语，应填动词。根据“my water bottle with warm water”以及首字母提示可知，此处指装满温水，固定搭配fill… with…意为“把…… 装满……”。根据时间状语“Every morning”可知，本句用一般现在时。主语my mother是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填fills。 第二节 选词填空 请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 plenty of scare in order not to method have a go These days, our city is setting up a Lost-and-Found Corner near Suzhou Museum.

Come and help us return lost things to the right people! 【答案】39. methods 40. scared 41. has a go 42. in order not to 43. plenty of 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在苏州博物馆附近的失物招领角做志愿者的经历。 【39题详解】 句意：在开始之前，我们读了一些方法，以便快速将失物分类并归还给合适的人。空前是“some”，空后是“for grouping lost things quickly...”，说明我们需要一些具体的“方法、策略”来做这件事。备选词中method（方法）符合语境，空前有some，需用复数形式methods。 【40题详解】 句意：起初，我害怕用英语和游客说话，但我的搭档告诉我放松点。 空前是“I was”，空后是“but my partner told me to relax”，由“but”可知，前后形成转折，说明起初状态是紧张害怕的。此处考查备选词scare的适当形式。根据主语“I”（人）以及表示“人感到害怕的”语境，应将其转化为以-ed结尾的形容词scared。 【41题详解】 句意：当失物难以归还时，我们的俱乐部领导会试一试解决这个问题。空前是主语“our club leader”（单数），空后是“at solving the problem”，需要填入一个动词短语作谓语。备选词中have a go（试一试）符合语境。因为主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词需用单三形式，故填has a go。 【42题详解】 句意：我们仔细记下那个人的名字，为了不忘记它。空前是“write down carefully”（仔细记下），空后是“forget it”（忘记它），两者构成目的关系。备选词中in order not to（为了不……）引导目的状语，符合语境。 【43题详解】 句意：苏州博物馆为我们提供了大量的盒子和袋子，所以我们可以把每件失物放在正确的地方。空前是“provides us with”（给我们提供），空后是“boxes and bags”（盒子和袋子），需要一个表示数量修饰的短语。备选词中plenty of（大量的、充足的）符合语境。 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Owen is a Grade 8 student from Suzhou. His father works as a ____44____ (print) in a local publishing house. Owen is a big book lover and he usually teaches ____45____ (he) new things from books. Now he is also looking forward ____46____ reading more books. Owen does well in most subjects. He is also good at ____47____ (tie) knots (结) because he loves DIY. As for English, his ____48____ (spell) is perfect and he understands grammar rules well. However, his English speaking is not as good ____49____ his writing. For example, when he reads English books aloud, he sometimes cannot pronounce new words ____50____ (correct). Besides, he was too shy to speak last term, so his spoken English got even ____51____ (bad). Now he realizes the importance of speaking. He often asks his teacher and classmates for help. Next Friday, there will be ____52____ English contest at school. Although Owen is a little worried about his pronunciation, he decides to give it a try. It is a great chance for him ____53____ (improve) his spoken English. 【答案】44. printer 45. himself 46. to 47. tying 48. spelling 49. as 50. correctly 51. worse 52. an 53. to improve 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述爱读书的八年级学生Owen努力提升英语口语的相关经历。 【44题详解】 句意：他的父亲在当地一家出版社当印刷工。不定冠词a后面需要接表示职业的名词，括号内动词print表示“印刷”，对应的表示职业的名词是printer，意为“印刷工”，所以填printer。 【45题详解】 句意：Owen是个十足的书迷，他通常从书本里自学新事物。teach oneself是固定搭配，意为“自学”，括号内的人称代词he对应的反身代词是himself，所以填himself。 【46题详解】 句意：现在他也正期待着读更多的书。look forward to是固定短语，意为“期待”，其中to是介词，后面接名词或动名词，所以这里填介词to。 【47题详解】 句意：他也很擅长打结，因为他喜欢手工制作。be good at doing sth.是固定用法，意为“擅长做某事”，介词at后面需要接动名词形式，括号内动词tie的动名词形式是tying，所以填tying。 【48题详解】 句意：至于英语，他的拼写非常好，并且他能很好地理解语法规则。根据前面的“his”可知，这里需要填一个名词，“spell”的名词形式是“spelling”，意为“拼写”，所以填spelling。 【49题详解】 句意：然而，他的英语口语不如他的写作好。as good as是固定比较结构，意为“和……一样好”，这里表示前者不如后者，是not as good as的搭配，所以填as。 【50题详解】 句意：例如，当他大声朗读英语书的时候，他有时候不能正确地读出生词。此处需要修饰动词pronounce，修饰动词要用副词，括号内形容词correct对应的副词形式是correctly，意为“正确地”，所以填correctly。 【51题详解】 句意：此外，上学期他太害羞不敢开口，所以他的英语口语变得更差了。副词even通常用来修饰形容词/副词的比较级，表示程度加深，括号内形容词bad的比较级形式是worse，意为“更差的”，所以填worse。 【52题详解】 句意：下周五，学校将会举办一场英语比赛。此处表示“一场英语比赛”，是泛指，要用不定冠词，English的发音以元音音素开头，所以填不定冠词an。 【53题详解】 句意：这对他来说是一个提升英语口语的好机会。It is a great chance for sb. to do sth.是固定句型，意为“对某人来说是做某事的好机会”，此处需要用动词不定式作真正的主语，括号内动词improve的不定式形式是to improve，所以填to improve。 七、阅读表达（共3小题；第1、2小题各2分，第3小题3分，满分7分） 请认真阅读下面材料，用英语回答材料后的问题。 Try crafting (手工精心制作)! Studies show that making things with your hands is good for your mind and body. Here are some good points that make this hobby so special! Crafting makes you creative. When you do something, you get to design everything—styles, shapes, colours, and details. It’s your chance to express yourself freely. Crafting helps you relax. Activities like painting, paper-cutting or clay carving (泥塑) keep your hands busy and your mind relaxed. As you focus on your project, you’ll naturally forget about daily worries. Crafting develops practical skills. You can learn many skills through crafting. These skills are not just fun—they can also be helpful in daily life. Maybe you’ll find you’re really good at something new! Crafting is good for the environment. Handmade things often use natural or recycled (循环利用的) materials. They are better for the environment than factory-made products. When you’re free, put down your phone and pick up a craft project. You can make gifts, decorate your room, or just have fun making a paper plane. Crafting makes your life more colourful! 54. How many good points are mentioned (提及) in the passage? _______________________________________________ 55. Why is crafting good for the environment? _______________________________________________ 56. Have you tried any crafting activities before? If yes, share what you did and how you felt. If no, which crafting activity would you like to try first and why? _______________________________________________ 【答案】54. Four. 55. Because handmade things often use natural or recycled materials and they are better for the environment than factory-made products. 56. Yes, I have. I have made paper-cuts. It was fun and it made me feel relaxed. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了做手工的四大好处：激发创造力、使人放松、培养实用技能、利于环保，并鼓励我们多尝试手工。 【54题详解】 根据第二至五段首句“Crafting makes you creative… Crafting helps you relax… Crafting develops practical skills… Crafting is good for the environment.”可知，文章共列举了做手工的四个好处。故填Four. 【55题详解】 倒数第二段“Handmade things often use natural or recycled materials. They are better for the environment than factory-made products.”解释了做手工利于环保的理由。答案可以整合为Because handmade things often use natural or recycled materials and they are better for the environment than factory-made products. 【56题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。结合自身经历，若做过手工则分享自己做了什么以及感受，若没有做过手工则介绍自己想先尝试哪一项手工并说明理由，言之有理即可。 八、书面表达（共1题；满分15分） 57. 你校英文报正在举办以“Involve Me and I Learn”为主题的英语演讲比赛。正如本杰明·富兰克林所说：“Tell me and I forget.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “Involve me and I learn.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文： Good afternoon, everyone! I’m glad to share my ideas about learning. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Involve me and I learn.” I totally understand that just listening to others can’t help us master knowledge well. True learning comes from taking an active part and learning by doing. This means that active practice is the key to success. We cannot learn well only by listening.

When the teacher showed her paper with full marks to all of us, someone finally asked, “How do you remember everything without ____4____?” Lila smiled and played a short recording. It was the teacher’s voice explaining (解释) key points. “I don’t write every word,” she said. “I record the parts I might ____5____, then listen to them while walking home. Writing down too much makes me ____6____ the teacher’s explanations.” We soon noticed more about her. After class, she often stayed to ask the teacher follow-up questions. When she made mistakes in homework, she would write down the ____7____ clearly, not just the right answers. What surprised me most was her willingness to help others. Once, she spent three lunch breaks helping our classmate understand grammar rules—she ____8____ made simple cards for him. Now ____9____ thinks Lila is strange. She teaches us that being a good learner isn’t about working the hardest, but working the ____10____.

A. a science book B. a story book C. a newspaper D. an English book B After a full week of working or studying, you may be too tired to get up early on Saturday morning. When you get up at last, you may miss breakfast, but lunch is still a few hours away. So what will you do? Well, brunch is a good choice. Brunch gets its name from the first two letters (字母) of breakfast and the last four letters of lunch. Sometimes, it puts breakfast into an art form. For example, fruit pancakes may take the place of our daily pancakes for brunch. Brunch is getting more and more popular among young people because beautiful brunches help them get more “likes” on social media. In Australia, the young are the fans of brunch as well. So I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a famous flower-themed café. There were all kinds of fresh and nice flowers. The food and drinks also had this theme. They used roses to decorate a pink rose tea. It tasted as sweet as it looked. For the main dish, I ordered the soft-shell crab (软壳螃蟹). The crab was in a bread bowl with some fruit around. The brunch tasted great. I was full after having such a big meal, but I still wanted to have another one. 14. Brunch may happen at about________. A. 8:00 a.m B. 10:30 a.m C. 12:30 p.m D. 5:00 p.m 15. What do we know about brunch? A. It’s always more expensive than breakfast. B. Artists create it. C. People eat brunch more quickly than other meals. D. The word comes from “breakfast” and “lunch”. 16. What does the writer think of brunch? A. It is very delicious. B. It is healthier than breakfast. C. It is more important than lunch. D. It helps us save time. 17. In the future, brunch may be a new way for people to________. A. make friends B. save money C. become artists D. get good grades C The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage (马车) and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Be hopeful and keep busy!” said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” answered Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls followed Jo’s rule and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. This didn’t trouble her at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework, so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too. She was never unhappy about it. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family. —Taken from Little Women 18. Why did the girls wave their hands cheerfully? A.

What the girls did for the poor family. D. How the girls learned to do housework. D ①Blind boxes have become very popular toys in China. The idea is simple: the buyers will not know which toy it is before they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling. You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck. ②Pop Mart is a famous company. It began as a small shop in Beijing’s Zhongguancun area selling different kinds of products. Later, the company found that toys were the most popular and best-selling products. ________ ③The idea for blind boxes was from Gashapon (扭蛋机) in Japan, which sells blind toys. Although the toys inside Pop Mart’s blind boxes cost only about 2 dollars, they sell for around 8 dollars each. This brings the company a lot of money. Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion (十亿) yuan in revenue (收入) in the year of 2023,1.7 billion yuan more compared with (与……相比) 2022. ④Now young people really like this kind of toy. Some buyers have collected over 1,000 dolls. In their eyes, the dolls are symbols of their characters, or they just want to share something cute. ⑤However, the blind boxes are as hard to stop as gambling. Some toys are hard to get, so people sell them at higher prices in the second-hand markets. Some countries make rules to control the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules are made to stop over-marketing and help protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated. ⑥To keep growing, Pop Mart needs to keep making something new and sell more toys. Labubu was a big success. The founder wishes that Pop Mart can be a world-famous company like Disney one day. 22. What does the underlined word “gambling” in paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A. 经历 B. 买卖 C. 赌博 D. 尝试 23. Which sentence can be put in the ________ in paragraph 2? A. So they decided to make toys their main products. B. However, they stopped selling other things at once. C. So they tried to learn from a Japanese company. D. Because they wanted to be famous around the world. 24. Which of the following can show the revenue of Pop Mart in 2022 and 2023? A. B. C. D. 25. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Young people will lose interest in blind boxes because of the price. B. People can’t buy blind boxes outside Beijing. C. More countries may set rules for selling blind boxes. D. Pop Mart will surely become the next Disney. 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并从答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know the skies are blue on sunny days.

Studies show that making things with your hands is good for your mind and body. Here are some good points that make this hobby so special! Crafting makes you creative. When you do something, you get to design everything—styles, shapes, colours, and details. It’s your chance to express yourself freely. Crafting helps you relax. Activities like painting, paper-cutting or clay carving (泥塑) keep your hands busy and your mind relaxed. As you focus on your project, you’ll naturally forget about daily worries. Crafting develops practical skills. You can learn many skills through crafting. These skills are not just fun—they can also be helpful in daily life. Maybe you’ll find you’re really good at something new! Crafting is good for the environment. Handmade things often use natural or recycled (循环利用的) materials. They are better for the environment than factory-made products. When you’re free, put down your phone and pick up a craft project. You can make gifts, decorate your room, or just have fun making a paper plane. Crafting makes your life more colourful! 54.
