A. turned B. sorted C. saved 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：垃圾每天早上被清洁工分类放进不同的垃圾桶里。 turned转变；sorted分类；saved保存。根据“into different bins”可知是将垃圾进行分类投放。sorted意为“分类”，sort into意为“把……分成”，符合垃圾分类的语境。故填sorted。 14. Bob often ________ with his friends at the bookstore after school instead of staying at home. A. carries out B. falls down C. hangs out 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：鲍勃放学后经常和他的朋友们在书店闲逛，而不是待在家里。 carries out执行；falls down跌倒；hangs out闲逛。根据语境，放学后和朋友在书店，应填hangs out。 15. — Could you tell me ________? —It’s much cleaner and more beautiful. A. what your hometown is like now B. where your hometown is C. when you returned to your hometown 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我你的家乡现在是什么样子的吗？——它干净多了，也更漂亮了。 what your hometown is like now询问家乡现在的样子；where your hometown is询问家乡的位置；when you returned to your hometown询问返回家乡的时间。根据答语“It’s much cleaner and more beautiful.”可知，回答的是家乡的样子，故问句需要选择询问家乡现在的样子的句子。 Ⅲ. 完形填空（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。 When Rui began riding to school, he noticed a problem. At a dark crossing, drivers sometimes failed to see students who were turning. Reflective strips (反光条) helped, but only when car lights shone directly on them. Rui wondered whether a clearer signal could be ____16____. His first idea was a light worn on a cyclist’s glove. When the hand pointed left or right, the light would flash (闪光). Rui used a tiny sensor (传感器) from a broken toy and ____17____ it inside an old glove. The first model looked exciting, but it was not accurate (精确的). It flashed whenever Rui moved his hand, even when he was not turning. Instead of giving up, Rui recorded each false signal. He found that a real turning gesture usually lasted longer than a common hand movement. With the help of the science club, the sensor was ____18____ to respond only when the hand stayed in one position for half a second. A small button (按钮) was also added, ____19____ riders could turn the light off in class. Next, Rui asked fifteen students to test the glove for two weeks. Some said the light was hard to see in rain. Others found the battery box too ____20____. Rui covered the light with clear waterproof material and moved the battery to the wrist (手腕). The new model became lighter and ____21____. At the school fair, Rui did not say his invention was perfect. He showed the test notes and explained what still needed work. The teachers praised this ____22____. They said invention was not a single bright idea but a ____23____ of noticing, testing and improving. Rui won third prize. More importantly, a local cycling group offered to test the glove on longer rides. His small project had moved from the classroom toward a ____24____ need. It also taught Rui that a mistake can be useful when it is carefully ____25____. 16. A. forgotten B. designed C. borrowed 17. A. drew B. threw C. fixed 18. A. programmed B. painted C. locked 19. A. but B. so C. until 20. A. sharp B. traditional C. heavy 21. A. safer B. wider C. louder 22. A. courage B. honesty C. luck 23. A. price B. position C. process 24. A. real B. false C. secret 25. A. hidden B. recorded C. avoided 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. C 21. A 22. B 23. C 24. A 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述学生Rui发现骑行安全隐患，发明发光手套，经过多次测试改进后获奖，并深刻认识到发明过程的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：Rui想知道是否能设计出一个更清晰的信号。 根据“At a dark crossing, drivers sometimes failed to see students who were turning.”和“His first idea was a light worn on a cyclist’s glove.”，可知此处指设计新信号，对应designed。forgotten“忘记”和borrowed“借”不符合解决问题的发明语境。 【17题详解】 句意：Rui用一个传感器并将其固定在一个旧手套里。 根据制作装置的语境可知，电子部件需要被安装进手套里才能工作，fixed符合语境。drew“画”和threw“扔”不符合制作逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：在科学俱乐部的帮助下，他给传感器设置了程序，让它只在手保持同一姿势半秒时才做出响应。 根据传感器是电子元件，需要设定逻辑，可知是被编程，对应programmed。painted“绘画”和locked“锁”不符合电子元件操作。 【19题详解】 句意：加了一个按钮，以便骑手能在课上关灯。 根据前后句是目的关系，加按钮是为了关灯，可知用so表示“以便”。but表转折，until表时间，均不符。 【20题详解】 句意：其他人发现电池盒太重了。 根据后文“The new model became lighter”提到新模型变得更轻，可知之前的问题是重，对应heavy。sharp“尖锐的”和traditional“传统的”与轻重对比无关。 【21题详解】 句意：新模型变得更轻且更安全。 根据开篇可知发明初衷是解决骑行安全隐患，改进后自然更安全，对应safer。wider“更宽的”和louder“更响的”不符合骑行安全语境。 【22题详解】 句意：老师表扬了这种诚实。 根据“Rui did not say his invention was perfect.”，主动承认不足，可知是诚实，对应honesty。courage“勇气”和luck“运气”不符合承认缺点的语境。 【23题详解】 句意：他们说发明不是单个点子，而是注意、测试和改进的过程。 根据“noticing, testing and improving”是一系列连续步骤，可知是过程，对应process。price“价格”和position“位置”不符合步骤描述。 【24题详解】 句意：他的小项目已经从课堂走向了真实的需求。 根据“a local cycling group offered to test the glove on longer rides”，可知是真正的需求，real符合语境。false“错误的”和secret“秘密的”不符合实际应用语境。 【25题详解】 句意：这也让Rui明白，只要被认真记录下来，错误也能发挥作用。 根据第三段提到“recorded each false signal”，可知错误被记录后才有用，recorded符合语义。hidden“隐藏”和avoided“避免”不能体现从错误中学习。 Ⅳ. 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 阅读下列A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。（每小题2分，满分40分） A 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Let’s make a paper horse that runs on itself and find out the science behind it! You will need: Step 1 Draw and mark ·Draw a rectangle (长方形) (15cm×4.5cm) on a piece of paper. ·Divide it into a 3×3 grid (网格) (5cm×1.5cm each). ·Draw a curve (弧线) on each of the four corners. ·Mark different parts as shown in the picture. Step 2 Cut and fold ·Cut out the whole rectangle, and then cut along the legs, stopping at the middle part. ·Cut off the curves from the legs. ·Fold (折叠) the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little. Now you have a paper horse! Step 3 Let it run ·Put the cardboard on a stack of books to make a slope (斜坡). Place the horse at the top. Push it lightly—the horse runs down! The science behind it Gravity (重力) pulls the horse down the slope. As the legs are curved, it doesn’t just slide (滑动)—it rocks side to side, looking like running. So if your horse doesn’t “run” well, make the slope higher by adding some books, change the position of the head or tail to fix balance, or round the legs more for better rocking. 26. What do we need in Step 1? A. Heavy paper, scissors and a ruler. B. Heavy paper, scissors and a pencil. C. Heavy paper, a ruler and a pencil. D. Heavy paper, a pencil and books. 27. Which picture shows the right paper horse you get in Step 2? A. B. C. D. 28. What makes the paper horse run? ①The curved legs. ②The gravity. ③The slope. ④The curved tail. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 29. What could we do if the paper horse doesn’t run? A. Cut out the tail. B. Add more books. C. Make the legs flat (平的). D. Make the slope longer. 30. The text is probably from ________. A. www.storybird.com B. www.science-sparks.com C. www.skysports.com D. www.petshome.com 【答案】26. C 27. A 28. A 29. B 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以会跑的自制纸马为核心对象，介绍了制作纸马所需的材料、三步制作步骤，并解释了纸马依靠重力、斜坡与弧形腿实现摇晃跑动的科学原理，属于趣味科学实验类内容。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Step1部分“Draw a rectangle (15cm×4.5cm) on a piece of paper. Divide it into a 3×3 grid (5cm×1.5cm each). Draw a curve on each of the four corners. Mark different parts as shown in the picture.”，第一步为绘制与标记环节，需要厚纸作为制作载体，尺子用于测量尺寸、绘制网格，铅笔用于画图和标记部位。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Step2部分“Cut off the curves from the legs. Fold the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little.”，第二步完成后，纸马的腿为弧形，四条腿向下折叠，脖子与尾巴向上折叠，且尾巴带有轻微弧度。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“The science behind it”部分“Gravity pulls the horse down the slope. As the legs are curved, it doesn’t just slide—it rocks side to side, looking like running.”，重力是拉动纸马沿斜坡向下的动力，斜坡为纸马提供倾斜的运动路径，弧形的腿让纸马左右摇晃，呈现出跑动的效果，三者是纸马能够“跑”的原因。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“make the slope higher by adding some books”，若纸马跑动效果不好，可以通过添加书本增高斜坡来调整。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕趣味科学小实验展开，包含手工制作步骤与科学原理解释，属于科普类内容，因此最可能出自科学主题网站。 B In a reunion meal (重逢宴) in the Maowusu Desert, the table was filled with green beans, tomatoes, green peppers, pork and so on. Yin Yuzhen fought against desertification (沙漠化) and produced all these ingredients (食材) in the desert. She prepared this meal for her old friend, Ronald Sakolsky, a teacher from the US. The two met again after 26 years. Back in 1999, Sakolsky was teaching in China when he saw a TV report about Yin. She tried to plant trees in the Maowusu Desert in Inner Mongolia but didn’t have enough money. Moved by her story, he raised $5,000 in two months to support her. In May 2000, Sakolsky visited Inner Mongolia and met Yin. He watched her plant in the desert with just a shovel (铁锹). He thought it was impossible. Thanks to his donation, Yin planted over 50,000 trees and turned the desert into a green forest. After Sakolsky returned to the US, they lost contact (联系). Yin searched for him for years. Finally, she posted a video online inviting him back to China, and they reconnected. Seeing how much the desert had changed, Sakolsky called Yin a “miracle hero”. Over the years, Yin and the local community have planted 8 million trees, turning 4,660 hectares (公顷) of desert into an oasis (绿洲). This is part of China’s larger effort to fight against desertification. In 1978, China started the Three-North Shelter Forest Program. By 2025, it had created and protected 31.7429 million hectares of forest. 31. What can we know about the reunion meal? A. Sakolsky cooked the meal for Yin. B. Yin produced all the food on the table. C. They hadn’t met for over thirty years. D. The food was bought from nearby cities. 32. What is the correct order of the events? ①Sakolsky raised money to help Yin. ②Yin posted an online video and reconnected with Sakolsky. ③Sakolsky visited Inner Mongolia and met Yin. ④Sakolsky saw a TV report about Yin. A. ①④③② B. ①③④② C. ④①③② D. ④③①② 33. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Yin’s online invitation video. B. The reunion dinner in the desert. C. The oasis made by Yin and local people. D. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program. 34. Which statement can be inferred from the passage? A. Yin planted 8 million trees all alone. B. The program only helped this desert. C. Sakolsky once doubted Yin’s green dream. D. Yin could not plant trees without the money. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Great Changes in Maowusu Desert B. China’s Fight Against Desertification C. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program D. A Special Connection Built on Green Dreams 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了殷玉珍与美国朋友Ronald Sakolsky因治沙梦想结缘，时隔26年再次重逢的故事，展现了两人跨越国界的友谊及中国防沙治沙的成果。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yin Yuzhen fought against desertification and produced all these ingredients in the desert.”可知，重逢宴上的食材都是殷玉珍在沙漠里生产种植的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“saw a TV report about Yin…raised $5,000”，第三段“visited Inner Mongolia and met Yin”，第四段“posted a video online…and they reconnected”可知，事件发生的先后顺序为看到报道④、筹款①、见面③、发视频重逢②。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Yin and the local community have planted 8 million trees, turning 4,660 hectares of desert into an oasis. This is part of…”可知，“This”指代前句提到的殷玉珍和当地人创造的绿洲成就。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He watched her plant in the desert with just a shovel. He thought it was impossible.”可知，Sakolsky曾经觉得在沙漠种树是不可能的，即怀疑过她的绿色梦想。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。文章第一段“In a reunion meal…Yin Yuzhen fought against desertification…She prepared this meal for her old friend…The two met again after 26 years.”奠定了全文关于友谊与治沙梦想的基调，D选项“基于绿色治沙梦想建立的特殊联结”最能概括全文核心。 C Some people think they will not be influenced by advertisements. They might not have heard of the “mere exposure effect” (单纯曝光效应)—the more one is exposed (暴露) to something, the easier it is for him or her to like it. There are two main explanations for the effect. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could possibly harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency (知觉流畅性). We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought. Tasks like understanding something new take lots of attention and time, so we try to avoid them. Robert Zajonc, discoverer of the effect, tested how a group of people reacted to a set of disordered shapes. The shapes changed quickly so it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that. According to the effect, it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum (最大限度) preference for a product. However, the effect does not work on everyone in the same way. If the exposure is too often, people get bored. Also, when people don’t like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more. Now tell me what you think about ads. If mere exposure can create preferences that we are not aware of, should we forbid (禁止) all the ads? Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads, but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices. 36. According to paragraph 2, why do people prefer repeated things? A. Because they usually bring good results. B. Because they help people understand better. C. Because they seem safer and need less effort. D. Because people enjoy thinking hard about them. 37. In Zajonc’s study, what caused people’s preference for certain shapes? A. Personal tastes in art and beauty. B. People’s first sight of the shapes. C. The order of showing the shapes. D. The number of times people saw the shapes. 38. According to the passage, which of the charts best shows the mere exposure effect? A. B. C. D. 39. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To show us that advertisements are harmful to people. B. To question whether advertisements should be allowed. C. To explain how the mere exposure effect was discovered. D. To remind us to understand the influence of ads and make wiser choices. 40. What is the text mainly about? A. How ads influence our taste. B. How we form our preferences. C. Why we prefer familiar things. D. How repetition shapes our likes. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“单纯曝光效应”（接触事物的次数越多，越容易对其产生好感），解释了该效应的两种成因，通过实验验证了效应的存在，说明了效应的作用规律与特殊情况，并启发人们理性看待广告影响、做出明智选择。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe…We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought.”可知，重复出现的事物会让人觉得安全，且理解它们不需要耗费太多精力，因此人们更偏好这类事物。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that.”可知，人们看到形状的次数多少，决定了他们对不同形状的偏好程度。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum preference for a product…If the exposure is too often, people get bored. Also, when people don’t like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more.”可知，单纯曝光效应有两种规律：一般情况下，人们对事物的偏好会随重复次数增加而上升，在15次左右达到峰值，之后因过度曝光产生厌烦而略有下降；如果一开始就不喜欢某事物，重复次数越多，厌恶程度会越深。图A的两条曲线分别对应这两种规律：实线随重复次数增加先升后降，15次左右达到偏好峰值；虚线随重复次数增加偏好持续降低，符合单纯曝光效应的特征。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads, but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices.”可知，最后一段的目的是提醒人们认清广告的影响，做出更明智的选择。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“单纯曝光效应”展开，核心讲述重复接触如何塑造人们的喜好，涵盖了效应的定义、成因、实验验证、作用规律以及现实启发，核心是重复对喜好的塑造作用。 D China has allowed the world’s first invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device (侵入式脑机接口设备) for use in patients. A BCI is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway (途径) between the brain and a device. The device, called the NEO system, was created by a Shanghai-based company. The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. It has three main parts: a small sensor (传感器), an electrode kit (电极套件), and a robotic glove (机械手套). The sensor is about the size of a coin. It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging the brain. The system is powered by a magnetic coil (磁线圈). This means patients don’t need to remove it for charging. About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home. The device works by reading the brain’s signals. When a patient thinks about moving his hand, the sensor catches the thoughts. The electrode kit then plays a key role by picking up these signals and passing them to the robotic glove. The glove then helps the patient’s fingers move to hold or release objects. In the tests with 36 people, every patient showed improvement in their ability to hold objects. Some patients even showed signs of nerve (神经) repair, suggesting the technology might help the body heal itself. One user, Mr. Dong, joined the test. After a year of training, he could write simple words like “thank you” without the device’s help. Mao Ying, a hospital president, said future devices might even help paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients walk again. However, he warned that the technology is still new. It cannot cure patients quickly and needs a lot of training and patience. 41. What is NEO according to the text? A. It is a product based on life-changing technology. B. It is a device designed to avoid spinal cord injuries. C. It is a system that connects the brain with the hands. D. It is a research center about brain-computer interface. 42. Look at the survey results below. Which of the following shows the facts? A. B. C. D. 43. What is the correct order of how the NEO system works? A. Send→Receive→Collect→Support. B. Collect→Receive→Send→Support. C. Send→Collect→Receive→Support. D. Collect→Send→Receive→Support. 44. What does the underlined word “heal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Become happy again. B. Become movable again. C. Become healthy again. D. Become peaceful again. 45. What can we infer about the NEO system from the last paragraph? A. It will upgrade to a new device that needs no training. B. It will soon come into widespread use around the world. C. It can be designed to move things instead of patients’ hands. D. It can be used to help patients with injuries to other parts of the body. 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. B 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了全球首款获批用于患者的侵入式脑机接口设备NEO系统，涵盖其构造、工作原理、测试效果与未来应用前景，探讨了该技术对脊髓损伤等运动功能障碍患者的帮助作用。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A BCI is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway between the brain and a device.”以及第二段“The device, called the NEO system”“The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord injuries.”可知，NEO是连接大脑与手部的系统。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The sensor is about the size of a coin.”“It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging the brain.”“About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home.”以及最后一段“It cannot cure patients quickly and needs a lot of training and patience.”可知，NEO系统具备小巧设计、安全设置、易操作的优点，未提及价格亲民，且不具备见效快的特点，与图片2的内容相符。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When a patient thinks about moving his hand, the sensor catches the thoughts. The electrode kit then plays a key role by picking up these signals and passing them to the robotic glove. The glove then helps the patient’s fingers move to hold or release objects.”可知，系统的工作顺序为收集大脑信号、接收信号、发送信号、辅助手部动作，对应Collect→Receive→Send→Support的顺序。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Some patients even showed signs of nerve repair, suggesting the technology might help the body heal itself.”可知，神经修复对应身体恢复健康的含义，因此heal意为“恢复健康”，与become healthy again语义一致。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Mao Ying, a hospital president, said future devices might even help paralyzed patients walk again.”可推知，NEO系统未来可用于帮助身体其他部位受伤的患者。 第二节 （每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读短文，根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。 I once felt really stressed. It was like a big cloud was hanging over me. Then I tried acrylic painting (丙烯画). Honestly, it felt like a breath of fresh air. The studio was comfortable and welcoming, with everything set up. All I had to do was focus on the paint and the canvas (画布). The instructor patiently guided me through simple mixing and layering (分层叠加) skills. It made me realize that creating art wasn’t as difficult as I had imagined. I felt relaxed, losing myself in the painting process as I mixed colors and built shapes layer by layer. One of the coolest parts was choosing what I wanted to paint. It could be a peaceful sunset, a playful animal or something abstract (抽象的). I had the freedom to bring my ideas to life. The instructor helped me plan out my painting and create the base layers, so I didn’t feel lost. My favorite part was adding layers and mixing colors. The instructor tanght us how to blend edges (晕染边缘) and add highlights and shadows to make our paintings beautiful. I felt so happy watching my picture come to life. It felt like the paint was telling a story, and I was the storyteller. When my painting was finally done, I proudly showed it off to others and took some photos. Holding my finished canvas filled me with an amazing sense of achievement. It was more than just a painting; it was a small piece of peace I made for myself. Problem I felt stressed. Solution I tried acrylic painting in a ____46____ and welcoming studio. * Instructor’s help: Taught me how to ____47____ colors, blend edges, and add highlights and shadows; * My freedom: Chose what to ____48____; * My experience: Felt relaxed and ____49____ myself in painting. Feelings Had a strong sense of ____50____ seeing the finished work. 【答案】46. comfortable 47. mix 48. paint 49. lost 50. achievement 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在压力很大时尝试丙烯画，在画室里放松身心并最终获得成就感。 【46题详解】 第一段描述画室：“The studio was comfortable and welcoming”，说明画室既舒服又亲切。空格处需填和welcoming并列的形容词修饰studio，故填comfortable。 【47题详解】 第一段讲老师耐心指导简单的调色与叠加技巧：“The instructor patiently guided me through simple mixing and layering skills”，动名词mixing意为“调配颜色”。空格在how to后，需填动词原形，因此把mixing还原为mix。 【48题详解】 第二段第一句讲作者可以自主选择绘画内容：“One of the coolest parts was choosing what I wanted to paint”，表格把宾语从句“what I wanted to paint”简化为“what to paint”，故填paint。 【49题详解】 第一段最后一句讲作者绘画时的感受：“I felt relaxed, losing myself in the painting process”，说明作画时放松、沉浸其中的状态。表格用and连接两个并列谓语，felt是一般过去时，前后时态保持一致，lose的过去式是lost。 【50题详解】 最后一段讲完成画作后的感受：“ Holding my finished canvas filled me with an amazing sense of achievement”，说明看到成品后作者充满成就感。“sense of+名词”是固定搭配，表示“……感”，故填achievement。 Ⅴ. 情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。 A: Kangkang, you look so excited. ________51________? B: I went to the science and technology museum yesterday. A: Great! What did you see there? B: The picture of the first light bulb in the world. It is said that it was invented in 1879. Do you know ________52________? A: Thomas Edison. He invented more than two thousand things in his whole life. Did you see anything else? B: ________53________. It was the picture of the first car. Karl Benz invented it in 1886. A: What a wonderful experience! These great inventions have truly changed the world, ________54________? B: They certainly have. A: How about going to the science and technology museum with me this Saturday? B: ________55________! 【答案】51. What happened 52. who invented it 53. Yes, I did 54. haven’t they 55. Good idea 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是A与康康之间关于参观科技馆及讨论伟大发明的对话。 【51题详解】 根据“Kangkang, you look so excited.”及答语“I went to the science and technology museum yesterday.”可知此处询问发生了什么事，故填What happened。 【52题详解】 根据答语“Thomas Edison.”可知此处询问是谁发明的，宾语从句需用陈述语序，故填who invented it。 【53题详解】 根据问句“Did you see anything else?”及后文“It was the picture of the first car.”可知此处作肯定回答，故填Yes, I did。 【54题详解】 根据“These great inventions have truly changed the world”可知陈述部分为肯定句且含有助动词“have”，反意疑问句需用否定形式，故填haven’t they。 【55题详解】 根据“How about going to the science and technology museum with me this Saturday?”可知此处表示赞同建议，故填Good idea。 Ⅵ. 看图写话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. make, wood ________________________________ 57. say no to ________________________________ 58. for ________________________________ 59. used to ________________________________ 60. necessary, recycle ________________________________ 【答案】56. Paper is made from wood. 57. We should say no to plastic bags. 58. She has played the piano for six years. 59. She used to walk to school. 60. It is necessary to recycle rubbish. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图画和提示词可知，此处表示“纸是由木头制成的”。提示词make意为 “制作”，wood意为“木头”。be made from表示看不出原材料，paper“纸”是不可数名词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，be动词用is。 【57题详解】 根据图画和提示词可知，此处表示“我们应该对塑料袋说不”。提示词say no to意为“对……说不”，图片是塑料袋plastic bags，句子可使用情态动词“should”，后接动词原形。 【58题详解】 根据图画和提示词可知，此处表示“她弹钢琴弹了六年”。提示词for后接时间段，意为“持续一段时间”，是现在完成时标志；she“她”是第三人称单数，现在完成时结构为has +过去分词，play the piano“弹钢琴”，for six years“长达六年”。 【59题详解】 根据图画和提示词可知，此处表示“她过去走路去学校”。提示词used to意为“过去常常”，后接动词原形，用来描述过去经常做而现在不做的事情；she“她”作主语，walk to school意为“步行去上学”。 【60题详解】 根据图画和提示词可知，此处表示“回收垃圾是有必要的”。提示词necessary意为“有必要的”，recycle意为 “回收”。It is +形容词+ to do sth.是固定句型，表示“做某事是……的”，it作形式主语。 Ⅶ. 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。每空一词。 As one of the four great inventions in China, paper-making is ____61____ (wide) known in China.

Xuan paper is a symbol of Chinese culture. Many great works by ancient Chinese calligraphers and painters were ____64____ (draw) on Xuan paper. The art piece passed down by generations in ancient China is ____65____ (many) than 1,200 years old. Most of the ancient paper books in the library were made of Xuan paper. ____66____ old story says that Kong Dan, a paper-making craftsman (工匠) during the Eastern Han Dynasty, created Xuan paper by accident. To keep the picture of his teacher Cai Lun, the ____67____ (invent) of paper-making, he needed to find a kind of paper that would not discolor or grow mold (发霉). At last, he discovered Xuan paper. How excellent the ancient people were! So why did Xuan paper become so popular ____68____ calligraphers and artists all like it? That is because Xuan paper can be kept ____69____ a long time with ink and color on it. This makes all the art works remain fresh and ____70____ (color). The paper, therefore, is entitled “Paper of Ages”. 【答案】61. widely 62. holds 63. but 64. drawn 65. more 66. An 67. inventor 68. that 69. for 70. colorful 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国文化符号宣纸的重要地位、悠久历史、起源传说以及它广受书画爱好者喜爱的原因。 【61题详解】 句意：作为中国四大发明之一，造纸术在中国广为人知。此处修饰动词“known”，需将形容词wide变为副词widely，表“广泛地”。 【62题详解】 句意：在各类纸张当中，宣纸占据着重要地位。主语“Xuan paper”是单数，句子描述客观事实用一般现在时，谓语动词用hold的第三人称单数形式holds。 【63题详解】 句意：它不仅是中国文化的必要组成部分，更是中国历史的见证者。此处使用搭配not only…but (also)…，表“不仅……而且……”，填but。 【64题详解】 句意：中国古代许多书法家和画家的伟大作品都创作于宣纸之上。主语“Many great works”和动词draw之间存在被动关系，结构为were +动词的过去分词，故填入draw的过去分词drawn。 【65题详解】 句意：中国古代代代传承的这种艺术品已经有超过1200年的历史。此处使用搭配more than，表“超过”，填many的比较级more。 【66题详解】 句意：有一则古老的故事说，东汉时期的造纸工匠孔丹偶然造出了宣纸。此处泛指“一个古老的故事”，“old”以元音音素开头，填不定冠词An。注意句首的首字母大写。 【67题详解】 句意：为了留存他的老师——造纸术发明者蔡伦的画像，他需要找到一种不会变色、也不会发霉的纸张。根据“his teacher Cai Lun”可知此处指代蔡伦，他是造纸术的发明者，故动词invent变为名词inventor。 【68题详解】 句意：那么宣纸为什么会变得如此受欢迎以至于书法家和艺术家都喜爱它呢？根据“so popular…calligraphers and artists all like it”可知此处使用结构so + adj. + that，意为“如此……以至于……”，故填入that。 【69题详解】 句意：这是因为沾有墨汁和颜料的宣纸可以保存很长时间。根据“a long time”可知此处是“for +时间段”结构，表动作持续的时长，填for。 【70题详解】 句意：这能让所有艺术作品保持鲜活、色彩鲜亮。此处和形容词“fresh”并列作表语，需将名词color变为形容词colorful，表“色彩鲜艳的”。 Ⅷ. 书面表达（满分15分） 71. 假设你是李华，你们学校正在开展“Green Graduation”主题活动。为此，英语社团公众号进行了关于毕业生处理学习资料方式的问卷调查。下面图表展示了部分调查结果。请结合图表内容，用英语给公众号留言，谈谈你毕业后处理学习资料的打算和理由。 What students will do with used learning materials 内容提示： ·What can you learn from the results? ·What will you do with your used learning materials?

At a dark crossing, drivers sometimes failed to see students who were turning. Reflective strips (反光条) helped, but only when car lights shone directly on them. Rui wondered whether a clearer signal could be ____16____. His first idea was a light worn on a cyclist’s glove. When the hand pointed left or right, the light would flash (闪光). Rui used a tiny sensor (传感器) from a broken toy and ____17____ it inside an old glove. The first model looked exciting, but it was not accurate (精确的). It flashed whenever Rui moved his hand, even when he was not turning. Instead of giving up, Rui recorded each false signal. He found that a real turning gesture usually lasted longer than a common hand movement. With the help of the science club, the sensor was ____18____ to respond only when the hand stayed in one position for half a second. A small button (按钮) was also added, ____19____ riders could turn the light off in class. Next, Rui asked fifteen students to test the glove for two weeks. Some said the light was hard to see in rain. Others found the battery box too ____20____. Rui covered the light with clear waterproof material and moved the battery to the wrist (手腕). The new model became lighter and ____21____. At the school fair, Rui did not say his invention was perfect. He showed the test notes and explained what still needed work. The teachers praised this ____22____. They said invention was not a single bright idea but a ____23____ of noticing, testing and improving. Rui won third prize. More importantly, a local cycling group offered to test the glove on longer rides. His small project had moved from the classroom toward a ____24____ need. It also taught Rui that a mistake can be useful when it is carefully ____25____. 16. A. forgotten B. designed C. borrowed 17. A. drew B. threw C. fixed 18. A. programmed B. painted C. locked 19.

Let’s make a paper horse that runs on itself and find out the science behind it! You will need: Step 1 Draw and mark ·Draw a rectangle (长方形) (15cm×4.5cm) on a piece of paper. ·Divide it into a 3×3 grid (网格) (5cm×1.5cm each). ·Draw a curve (弧线) on each of the four corners. ·Mark different parts as shown in the picture. Step 2 Cut and fold ·Cut out the whole rectangle, and then cut along the legs, stopping at the middle part. ·Cut off the curves from the legs. ·Fold (折叠) the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little. Now you have a paper horse! Step 3 Let it run ·Put the cardboard on a stack of books to make a slope (斜坡). Place the horse at the top. Push it lightly—the horse runs down! The science behind it Gravity (重力) pulls the horse down the slope. As the legs are curved, it doesn’t just slide (滑动)—it rocks side to side, looking like running. So if your horse doesn’t “run” well, make the slope higher by adding some books, change the position of the head or tail to fix balance, or round the legs more for better rocking. 26. What do we need in Step 1? A. Heavy paper, scissors and a ruler. B. Heavy paper, scissors and a pencil. C. Heavy paper, a ruler and a pencil. D. Heavy paper, a pencil and books. 27. Which picture shows the right paper horse you get in Step 2? A. B. C. D. 28. What makes the paper horse run? ①The curved legs. ②The gravity. ③The slope. ④The curved tail. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 29. What could we do if the paper horse doesn’t run? A. Cut out the tail. B. Add more books. C. Make the legs flat (平的). D. Make the slope longer. 30. The text is probably from ________. A. www.storybird.com B. www.science-sparks.com C. www.skysports.com D. www.petshome.com B In a reunion meal (重逢宴) in the Maowusu Desert, the table was filled with green beans, tomatoes, green peppers, pork and so on. Yin Yuzhen fought against desertification (沙漠化) and produced all these ingredients (食材) in the desert. She prepared this meal for her old friend, Ronald Sakolsky, a teacher from the US. The two met again after 26 years. Back in 1999, Sakolsky was teaching in China when he saw a TV report about Yin. She tried to plant trees in the Maowusu Desert in Inner Mongolia but didn’t have enough money. Moved by her story, he raised $5,000 in two months to support her. In May 2000, Sakolsky visited Inner Mongolia and met Yin. He watched her plant in the desert with just a shovel (铁锹). He thought it was impossible. Thanks to his donation, Yin planted over 50,000 trees and turned the desert into a green forest. After Sakolsky returned to the US, they lost contact (联系). Yin searched for him for years. Finally, she posted a video online inviting him back to China, and they reconnected. Seeing how much the desert had changed, Sakolsky called Yin a “miracle hero”. Over the years, Yin and the local community have planted 8 million trees, turning 4,660 hectares (公顷) of desert into an oasis (绿洲). This is part of China’s larger effort to fight against desertification. In 1978, China started the Three-North Shelter Forest Program. By 2025, it had created and protected 31.7429 million hectares of forest. 31. What can we know about the reunion meal? A. Sakolsky cooked the meal for Yin. B. Yin produced all the food on the table. C. They hadn’t met for over thirty years. D. The food was bought from nearby cities. 32. What is the correct order of the events? ①Sakolsky raised money to help Yin. ②Yin posted an online video and reconnected with Sakolsky. ③Sakolsky visited Inner Mongolia and met Yin. ④Sakolsky saw a TV report about Yin. A. ①④③② B. ①③④② C. ④①③② D. ④③①② 33. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Yin’s online invitation video. B. The reunion dinner in the desert. C. The oasis made by Yin and local people. D. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program. 34. Which statement can be inferred from the passage? A. Yin planted 8 million trees all alone. B. The program only helped this desert. C. Sakolsky once doubted Yin’s green dream. D. Yin could not plant trees without the money. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Great Changes in Maowusu Desert B. China’s Fight Against Desertification C. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program D. A Special Connection Built on Green Dreams C Some people think they will not be influenced by advertisements. They might not have heard of the “mere exposure effect” (单纯曝光效应)—the more one is exposed (暴露) to something, the easier it is for him or her to like it. There are two main explanations for the effect. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could possibly harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency (知觉流畅性). We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought. Tasks like understanding something new take lots of attention and time, so we try to avoid them. Robert Zajonc, discoverer of the effect, tested how a group of people reacted to a set of disordered shapes. The shapes changed quickly so it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that. According to the effect, it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum (最大限度) preference for a product. However, the effect does not work on everyone in the same way. If the exposure is too often, people get bored. Also, when people don’t like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more. Now tell me what you think about ads. If mere exposure can create preferences that we are not aware of, should we forbid (禁止) all the ads? Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads, but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices. 36. According to paragraph 2, why do people prefer repeated things? A. Because they usually bring good results. B. Because they help people understand better. C. Because they seem safer and need less effort. D. Because people enjoy thinking hard about them. 37. In Zajonc’s study, what caused people’s preference for certain shapes? A. Personal tastes in art and beauty. B. People’s first sight of the shapes. C. The order of showing the shapes. D. The number of times people saw the shapes. 38. According to the passage, which of the charts best shows the mere exposure effect? A. B. C. D. 39. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To show us that advertisements are harmful to people. B. To question whether advertisements should be allowed. C. To explain how the mere exposure effect was discovered. D.

A BCI is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway (途径) between the brain and a device. The device, called the NEO system, was created by a Shanghai-based company. The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. It has three main parts: a small sensor (传感器), an electrode kit (电极套件), and a robotic glove (机械手套). The sensor is about the size of a coin. It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging the brain. The system is powered by a magnetic coil (磁线圈). This means patients don’t need to remove it for charging. About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home. The device works by reading the brain’s signals. When a patient thinks about moving his hand, the sensor catches the thoughts. The electrode kit then plays a key role by picking up these signals and passing them to the robotic glove. The glove then helps the patient’s fingers move to hold or release objects. In the tests with 36 people, every patient showed improvement in their ability to hold objects. Some patients even showed signs of nerve (神经) repair, suggesting the technology might help the body heal itself. One user, Mr. Dong, joined the test. After a year of training, he could write simple words like “thank you” without the device’s help. Mao Ying, a hospital president, said future devices might even help paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients walk again. However, he warned that the technology is still new. It cannot cure patients quickly and needs a lot of training and patience. 41. What is NEO according to the text? A. It is a product based on life-changing technology. B. It is a device designed to avoid spinal cord injuries. C. It is a system that connects the brain with the hands. D. It is a research center about brain-computer interface. 42. Look at the survey results below. Which of the following shows the facts? A. B. C. D. 43. What is the correct order of how the NEO system works? A. Send→Receive→Collect→Support. B. Collect→Receive→Send→Support. C. Send→Collect→Receive→Support. D. Collect→Send→Receive→Support. 44. What does the underlined word “heal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Become happy again. B. Become movable again. C. Become healthy again. D. Become peaceful again. 45. What can we infer about the NEO system from the last paragraph? A. It will upgrade to a new device that needs no training. B. It will soon come into widespread use around the world. C. It can be designed to move things instead of patients’ hands. D. It can be used to help patients with injuries to other parts of the body. 第二节 （每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读短文，根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。 I once felt really stressed. It was like a big cloud was hanging over me.
