A
My House
My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me
I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass — I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的,粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death.
This house is special — maybe only to me — but special nevertheless It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.
This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up.
21. Why did the author’s mother decide to move
A. Because she hated the countryside.
B. Because Grandpa was on constant move.
C. Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind.
D. Because she thought a city flat more fit for them.
22 What impressed the author when she first moved into the house
A. The treehouse. B. The green grass. C. The big trees. D. The cold floors.
23. How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her
A. By arguing whether the house was standard.
B. By explaining why the house suited their needs.
C. By describing the small things related to her house.
D. By comparing the differences between country and city life.
B
The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn’t know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries(边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices.
24. Which of the following best explains “mesmerized” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Attracted. D. Defeated.
25. Which word can describe the relation between the local tribe and the rainforest
A. Exciting. B. Close. C. Relaxing. D. Separated.
26. What can we learn about the trip from paragraph 4
A. It’s dangerous and meaningless. B. It’s fanny but unbearable.
C. It’s important and interesting. D. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The meaning of the trip. B. The experience of the trip.
C. The memory of the trip. D. The purpose of the trip.
C
Thanks to a generous and kind soul, this winter is not cold any more. A Stockton teen will make sure seniors are staying warm and unforgotten during the holiday season, because dozens of elders across the nation are getting socks for Christmas — they couldn’t be happier about it.
Elle Gianelli, 17, is a student in high school, but most of her friends are elders. She has been making colored socks with silly designs for years, sending them to seniors in nursing and care homes to brighten up their day.
It all started from the closer-than-close friendship she has with her grandmother, which taught the value of spending time with elders. “I’m a grandma’s girl, I love love love my nana,” Gianelli said. On putting forward the idea, she was supported by her family and friends. Later, she was encouraged by her teachers who started the project Socks for Seniors when she was in her 7th grade, and she has so far lighted up 92 care homes in 48 states.
But as Christmas approaches, she’s making efforts to prepare her surprise in order to send boxes of silly socks to elders in all 50 states in time for the big day. “I know most people have toys for babies and things for kids but they always seem to forget about elders,” Gianelli told CBS. “Maybe they don’t have family or maybe they live super far away and they’re only getting something like a postcard.” To make sure that elders’ toes and hearts remain warm this holiday season, Gianelli is hoping to raise $10,000 through GoFundMe for a big sock drive. So far, with still 19 days to go before Christmas, she has received 95% of her total in donations.
28. What’s elders’ feeling on getting the socks
A. Overjoyed. B. Embarrassed. C. Confused. D. Frightened.
29. What inspired Gianelli’s kind action
A. Teachers’ guidance. B. Christmas project.
C. Love for her grandma. D. Encouragement from friends.
30. What can we learn about Gianelli’s Christmas surprise
A. She also has toys and things for kids. B. She will send socks to seniors in 48 states.
C. She still has 19 days to prepare the surprise. D. She has raised $10,000 through GoFundMe.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Warm Gifts From a Teen. B. The Wishes of the Elders.
C. A Special Relationship. D. A Wonderful School Project.
D
The world loves a cup of tea. It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains some things that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因) which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in a remote area in southern China’s Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported. Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
32. What’s the disadvantage of drinking tea according to paragraph 1
A. It can make people hard to sleep. B. It can make people feel anxious.
C. It can get people addicted. D. It can take people much time.
33. What can we learn about hongyacha in paragraph 2
A. It is nothing but just medicine. B. It can only survive in greenhouses.
C It is a good pick for caffeine lovers. D. It has a good taste and little caffeine.
34. What might the follow-up study focus on about hongyacha
A. Its future location. B. Its natural habitats.
C. Its future market. D. Its production process.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health magazine. B. An advertising brochure.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A newspaper.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____36____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.
“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____37____
I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____38____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.
____39____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.
Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____40____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.
A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place.
B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.
C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time.
D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.
E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.
F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty.
G This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.

Every time I think of the card attached with a picture, it reminds me that success is important, but why not sometimes just admit the journey, regardless of success or failure, and show our approval Our approval may bring us another story, while for others, another chapter of life.
One month ago, I was temporarily appointed to be in charge of a class, when they just finished an important exam. A boy walking out of the classroom with his friends greeted me happily. The sunny smile on his face showed his confidence in the exam. He was Mark, a top A student. During the following days, Mark impressed me with his optimism in class and after class.
One Monday morning, as I rushed towards my office, I encountered Mark. We greeted each other, but his “good morning” face wasn’t as bright as usual. “Maybe he doesn’t like Monday as much as I do.” I thought jokingly.
At the office, Mark’s less-than-enthusiastic look reminded me of his sunny smile. Recalling the first time we met, I drew a boy with a broad smile and sparkling eyes. As a new teacher, pupils like Mark were my favourite. Personally, they learned by heart, and always met our expectations. Moreover, they were easily satisfied. Even a simple “Well done!” could brighten their day. To encourage students, I had my own award system, including empty cards, where I would write three or four sentences of encouragement based on students’ individual situations.
As I enjoyed the pleasure of getting a new idea, I heard a knock at the door. It was Mark, dragging his feet with his head down, “Madam, I’m upset.” His words amazed me. What could make such an excellent student so down I asked if he had problems with his friends, but he shook his head. Concerned, I inquired if he was being bullied, but received the same response.
“Do your parents put pressure on you ” I wondered. As for this question, Mark’s voice began to tremble and he lowered his head again, whispering, “They trust me and expect me to get better and better. I had been doing my best but I got the third place in the exam.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I was lost in thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With my encouragement, Mark opened the card.

【原文】M: Here’re three ways to experience the Jane Austen lifestyle in England. The Jane Austen Festival, held in Bath in September, is a popular hangout for super fans. Ten days of Austen-inspired events include guided walks, concerts, dance classes and more. But the fashion will impress you the most! You can see all ladies and gentlemen dress in the style of the 18th century period. It’s hard not to ooh and ah at every corner. Jane Austen spent the final eight years of her life living in Chawton. Today, her home serves as a public museum. The museum once created an exhibition — “Jane Austen in 41 Objects”. Each object explores a different aspect of Jane Austen’s life and works. It ran from March 10th to December 15th. Jane Austen Center is a must-visit to enjoy afternoon tea like Jane and her characters. Although guests are able to visit the tea room for free, it’s worth paying for a ticket to the center to see a life-sized statue of Jane and try on a variety of traditional costumes.

My House
My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me
I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass — I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲,粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death.
This house is special — maybe only to me — but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.
This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up.
21. Why did the author’s mother decide to move
A. Because she hated the countryside.
B. Because Grandpa was on constant move.
C. Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind.
D. Because she thought a city flat more fit for them.
22. What impressed the author when she first moved into the house
A. The treehouse. B. The green grass. C. The big trees. D. The cold floors.
23. How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her
A. By arguing whether the house was standard.
B. By explaining why the house suited their needs.
C. By describing the small things related to her house.
D. By comparing the differences between country and city life.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C

The backyard was full of gnarled(扭曲的,粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death.(我还记得第一天,就像昨天一样。我首先注意到的是大前院。对我来说,这就像一片草地的海洋——我迫不及待地想扑进去。后院里长满了扭曲的可怕的树,在刮风的夜晚它们会说话。但我渐渐喜欢上了它们和它们在我房间里投下的阴影。我父亲和我甚至建了一个小树屋,我经常去那里回忆父亲去世前我们所有的美好时光。)”和第三段“This house is special—maybe only to me—but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.(这所房子很特别——也许只对我来说——但无论如何都很特别。正是那些看似微不足道的小事让这所房子对我来说如此特别:冰冷的瓷砖地板让我在午夜颤抖;我父亲烟斗的味道仍然存在:我母亲高耸的书架;我卧室窗外的景色。)”可推测出,作者通过描述与房子有关的小事来展现出作者对房子的特别情感。故选C。
B
The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn’t know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries(边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices.

A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Attracted. D. Defeated.
25. Which word can describe the relation between the local tribe and the rainforest
A. Exciting. B. Close. C. Relaxing. D. Separated.
26. What can we learn about the trip from paragraph 4
A. It’s dangerous and meaningless. B. It’s fanny but unbearable.
C. It’s important and interesting. D. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The meaning of the trip. B. The experience of the trip.
C. The memory of the trip. D. The purpose of the trip.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者去亚马逊雨林进行研究探险的经历和感悟。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词下一句“When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. (当我有机会参加一次研究探险时,我接受了,对未来的冒险感到兴奋。)”可知,作者对即将去亚马逊雨林参加研究探险感到非常兴奋,再结合画线词后的“me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落)”可推出,亚马逊雨林的生物多样性和当地部落对作者很有吸引力。mesmerized意为“迷住,吸引”,与attracted意思相近。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. (他们的生活方式与自然如此紧密相连,与我们的城市生活不同。)”可知,当地部落的生活方式与自然紧密相连,二者的关系很紧密。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability. (这次旅行并非没有挑战。在森林里行走,应对恶劣的天气,应对未知的恐惧,考验着我们的意志力。然而,我们克服的每一个挑战都带来了成就感,并加强了我们的团队纽带。它教会了我团队合作和适应性的重要性。)”可推测出,这次旅行虽然很有挑战,但也非常值得。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices. (我的亚马逊雨林之旅是一次有意义的经历。这段旅程突破了我的界限,给我上了宝贵的一课,给我留下了难忘的回忆。这不仅仅是一次旅行,还是对未知事物的探索,提醒我们对地球的责任。冒险可能已经结束,但旅程仍在继续,因为我带着教训和记忆,影响着我的生活和选择。)”可推测出,最后一段主要讲述了这次旅行的意义。故选A。
C
Thanks to a generous and kind soul, this winter is not cold any more. A Stockton teen will make sure seniors are staying warm and unforgotten during the holiday season, because dozens of elders across the nation are getting socks for Christmas — they couldn’t be happier about it.
Elle Gianelli, 17, is a student in high school, but most of her friends are elders. She has been making colored socks with silly designs for years, sending them to seniors in nursing and care homes to brighten up their day.
It all started from the closer-than-close friendship she has with her grandmother, which taught the value of spending time with elders. “I’m a grandma’s girl, I love love love my nana,” Gianelli said. On putting forward the idea, she was supported by her family and friends. Later, she was encouraged by her teachers who started the project Socks for Seniors when she was in her 7th grade, and she has so far lighted up 92 care homes in 48 states.
But as Christmas approaches, she’s making efforts to prepare her surprise in order to send boxes of silly socks to elders in all 50 states in time for the big day. “I know most people have toys for babies and things for kids but they always seem to forget about elders,” Gianelli told CBS. “Maybe they don’t have family or maybe they live super far away and they’re only getting something like a postcard.” To make sure that elders’ toes and hearts remain warm this holiday season, Gianelli is hoping to raise $10,000 through GoFundMe for a big sock drive. So far, with still 19 days to go before Christmas, she has received 95% of her total in donations.
28. What’s elders’ feeling on getting the socks
A. Overjoyed. B. Embarrassed. C. Confused. D. Frightened.
29. What inspired Gianelli’s kind action
A. Teachers’ guidance. B. Christmas project.
C. Love for her grandma. D. Encouragement from friends.
30. What can we learn about Gianelli’s Christmas surprise
A. She also has toys and things for kids. B. She will send socks to seniors in 48 states.
C. She still has 19 days to prepare the surprise. D. She has raised $10,000 through GoFundMe.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Warm Gifts From a Teen. B. The Wishes of the Elders.
C. A Special Relationship. D. A Wonderful School Project.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It all started from the closer-than-close friendship she has with her grandmother, which taught the value of spending time with elders.(这一切都始于她与祖母的亲密友谊,这教会了她与长辈共度时光的价值)”可知,她对身边老年人的关爱之情源于对奶奶的爱。故选C项。
【30题详解】
. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So far, with still 19 days to go before Christmas, she has received 95% of her total in donations.(到目前为止,距离圣诞节还有19天,她已经收到了捐款总额的95%)”可知,她还有 19 天去完成资金筹集。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A Stockton teen will make sure seniors are staying warm and unforgotten during the holiday season, because dozens of elders across the nation are getting socks for Christmas—they couldn’t be happier about it.(斯托克顿的一名青少年将确保老年人在节日期间保持温暖和不被遗忘,因为全国各地的数十名老年人都将获得圣诞节袜子—他们对此感到非常高兴)”以及纵观全文可知,本文体现出了青少年对于老年人的关爱,在圣诞送来温暖的袜子礼物。所以A项“Warm Gifts From a Teen.(来自青少年的温暖礼物)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。

The world loves a cup of tea. It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains some things that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in a remote area in southern China’s Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported. Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
32. What’s the disadvantage of drinking tea according to paragraph 1
A. It can make people hard to sleep. B. It can make people feel anxious.
C. It can get people addicted. D. It can take people much time.
33. What can we learn about hongyacha in paragraph 2
A. It is nothing but just medicine. B. It can only survive in greenhouses.
C. It is a good pick for caffeine lovers. D. It has a good taste and little caffeine.
34. What might the follow-up study focus on about hongyacha
A. Its future location. B. Its natural habitats.
C. Its future market. D. Its production process.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health magazine. B. An advertising brochure.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A newspaper.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了一种新发现的茶树——红芽茶——不含咖啡因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.(茶中还含有咖啡因,它不仅能提高精神警觉性,还会增加焦虑和引发其他问题。)”可知,喝茶的缺点之一是它会让人们感觉焦虑。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine.(这样的一种茶树会非常令人喜欢,这种茶树既不失口感和营养价值,又不含咖啡因或者仅含少量咖啡因。)”“they have found just such a plant(他们发现了这种植物)”“Known locally as hongyacha(在当地被称作红芽茶)”可知,红芽茶口感好且几乎不含咖啡因。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use.(为商用而培育新茶品种,可能花费大量时间,有时会失败。)”可推测出,后续的研究可能关注红芽茶的未来市场。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一段讲述了茶对身体的好处和坏处;第二段讲述了红芽茶不含咖啡因并且有独特的药物成分;最后一段讲述了红芽茶的研究进展。由此可推测出,本文与茶和健康有关,最有可能出自健康杂志。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____36____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.
“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____37____
I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____38____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.
____39____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.
Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____40____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.
A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place.
B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.
C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time.
D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.
E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.
F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty.
G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.
【答案】36. A 37. E 38. D 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要描述了克莱夫登花园的美丽以及花园带给作者的感悟。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away.(在一个阳光明媚的冬日,站在克莱夫登花园的一座小山上,深绿色的湖泊被百年古树环绕,这让我屏息凝神)”以及后文“It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园,我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。当我欣赏这个宁静的花园时,它教会了我一个关于英国低调文化的教训)”可知,本句主要说明了上文提到的克莱夫登花园的情况,结合后文提到这是一个公园,故A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地”符合语境,故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文““The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty.(“英国的风景更美,因为它的美是低调的,”后来我们参观泰特英国美术馆的一个展览时,我的朋友威尔对我说。他指着一幅描绘宁静乡村的画。“这是我成长的环境,”他说。与大瀑布或野生森林不同,这里的风景并不张扬它的美丽)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文说明朋友对英国风景的看法,故E选项“但我看得越多,就越能看到它宁静的优雅”符合语境,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London.(我想知道中国游客是否会去伦敦以外的地方旅游)”以及后文“Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.(的确,牛津大学和剑桥大学以及深受人们喜爱的湖区国家公园都是英国的标志性象征。但如果他们错过了英国风景中鲜为人知的部分,那就太遗憾了)”可知,上文提到了中国游客是否回去伦敦以外的地方旅游的疑问,后文则提到了一些著名景点,可知本句是在说明中国游客的旅游特点,故D选项“他们更喜欢名声好的地方”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容“I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.(我记得有一次一个全A的同学告诉我,他“通过了考试”,另一个牛津的朋友介绍自己是“在农村学习”。这种谦虚在中国文化中也有反映。我记得我的父母告诉我要努力学习,但不要吹嘘自己的成就。中国文化中充满了“真金迟早会发光”这样的谚语,鼓励人们长期致力于自己选择的专业领域)”可知,本段的主旨是关于谦逊,且后文提到了牛津的朋友,说明本句是在说明英国人的谦虚。故F选项“这些年来,我已经熟悉了英国人的谦逊”符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement.(经历了这两种文化,我意识到英语和汉语都用低调来表达成就)”以及后文“It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.(它反映了中英两国传统中不可言说的魅力。这是一个人迹罕至的景点,非常值得探索)”可知,作者经历了两种文化,且都强调了低调,可知本句承接上文说明文化对作者的影响,后文It指代Cliveden。故G选项“这种混合使我欣赏克利夫登不同寻常的美”符合语境,故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every time I think of the card attached with a picture, it reminds me that success is important, but why not sometimes just admit the journey, regardless of success or failure, and show our approval Our approval may bring us another story, while for others, another chapter of life.
One month ago, I was temporarily appointed to be in charge of a class, when they just finished an important exam. A boy walking out of the classroom with his friends greeted me happily. The sunny smile on his face showed his confidence in the exam. He was Mark, a top A student. During the following days, Mark impressed me with his optimism in class and after class.
One Monday morning, as I rushed towards my office, I encountered Mark. We greeted each other, but his “good morning” face wasn’t as bright as usual. “Maybe he doesn’t like Monday as much as I do.” I thought jokingly.
At the office, Mark’s less-than-enthusiastic look reminded me of his sunny smile. Recalling the first time we met, I drew a boy with a broad smile and sparkling eyes. As a new teacher, pupils like Mark were my favourite. Personally, they learned by heart, and always met our expectations. Moreover, they were easily satisfied. Even a simple “Well done!” could brighten their day. To encourage students, I had my own award system, including empty cards, where I would write three or four sentences of encouragement based on students’ individual situations.
As I enjoyed the pleasure of getting a new idea, I heard a knock at the door. It was Mark, dragging his feet with his head down, “Madam, I’m upset.” His words amazed me. What could make such an excellent student so down I asked if he had problems with his friends, but he shook his head. Concerned, I inquired if he was being bullied, but received the same response.
“Do your parents put pressure on you ” I wondered. As for this question, Mark’s voice began to tremble and he lowered his head again, whispering, “They trust me and expect me to get better and better. I had been doing my best but I got the third place in the exam.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I was lost in thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With my encouragement, Mark opened the card.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Hearing his words, I was lost in thought. This little boy got depressed just because he thought he didn’t live up to his parents’ expectations by getting better grades than being the third. Seeing his sad face, I wrote something on a card. Then I sighed and said gently, “Mark, you should know that you’re always an excellent student. Success shouldn’t be measured by grades. What matters most is the journey you take.” “But how should I do ” Mark said. “Here is the card I write specially for you. Have a look!” I said and handed him the card.
With my encouragement, Mark opened the card. It read, “Remember, you must admit your effort put in your daily work regardless of success or failure. If you do this, you’ll find you are taking a more meaningful journey.” His little face seemed to light up when he read the words. He said, “Madam, thank you a lot! Your words make me feel better. And I will pay more attention to the daily effort rather than the grade in the exam.” Hearing what he said, I felt relieved. The next morning, I met him at the school gate, and he greeted me again with his usual “good morning” face.
