（2026·江苏南京·一模）School is a great place to know more clearly about ourselves.
Leo hated his name. Every time the teacher called “Leo” in class, he would sink (下沉) lower in his chair, wishing he could disappear. He thought his name sounded 1 and old-fashioned, like something from a black-and-white movie. His classmates had cool names like “Alex” or “Mia.” Leo 2 his name made him different—in a bad way.
One day, the school asked everyone to bring a family 3 for a history project. Leo found an old picture of a serious-looking man with kind eyes. “That’s your great-grandfather Leo,” his grandfather said. Then he told Leo the story: “Your great-grandfather was the first person in our town to build a library. He worked as a carpenter during the day and 4 donated books at night. People laughed at him, but he never 5 . ‘Every child,’ he said, ‘should have books to read.’”
Leo was 6 . He had never known that. Suddenly, his name was no longer a heavy stone. It became a lantern—carrying a story of 7 and hope.
The next week, the class had to give a short talk about “What makes you you.” Leo stood in front of the class. He no longer sank in his chair. “My name is Leo,” he said 8 . “It means being someone who helps others learn. My great-grandfather built a library. One day, I want to build something too—maybe a reading club.”
After class, a classmate said, “Leo, that’s really cool.” For the first time, Leo 9 when hearing his name.
Leo learned that self-acceptance doesn’t come from changing who you are. It comes from discovering the meaning behind what you already have. Everyone has a story. Sometimes you need to listen—and then decide to live it 10 .
Leo finally felt proud of his name.

They meant to 3 all kinds of things with the seashells. On the last day of our trip, I got into the family 4 of collecting shells too. I grabbed handfuls of (一把) sand and picked out shell treasures.

（2026·江苏南通·一模）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Have you ever wondered why we call capital letters “uppercase” and small letters “lowercase” Actually, the answer has 1 to do with importance or value — these terms come from the history of printing presses (印刷机)!
Back in the 1400s, when Johannes Gutenberg 2 the printing press in Germany, printers had to arrange (排列) every single letter by hand. They stored thousands of metal letters in special wooden drawers (抽屉) called “cases”.
3 small letters like a, b, and c were used much more 4 in writing, printers kept them in the lower case—the bottom drawer that was easy to 5 while working. Capital letters (A, B, C), which appeared 6 often, were stored in the upper case—the higher drawer that 7 printers to reach up. This practical 8 gave us the terms we still use today.
Interestingly, uppercase and lowercase letters don’t just look different—they 9 different to readers.
When you see a text written in ALL CAPS, it often feels like someone is 10 or giving an important warning. For example, if your friend texts you “HELP” 11 “help”, you immediately know something serious is happening. Studies show that uppercase letters seem “louder” and more attention-grabbing. That is why road signs saying “STOP” or “DANGER” use capitals: they must catch your 12 immediately.
On the other hand, lowercase letters create feelings of warmth, friendliness and closeness. Reading a message in lowercase is like having a 13 conversation with a friend. This is why many modern brands use lowercase in their names and logos to seem approachable and friendly. Think about iPhone, Google, or adidas, they often use lowercase letters in their products to 14 with young people.
So the next time you type a message, think carefully: Are you “shouting” with uppercase, or “whispering” with lowercase Your choice of letters sends a message 15 than the words themselves!
1．A．something B．anything C．nothing D．everything
2．A．discovered B．invented C．created D．found
3．A．Although B．If C．Since D．So

【导语】本文介绍英文大小写字母叫法源于古代印刷排版习惯，小写常用放低处、大写少用放高处；还讲述两者给人的不同感受及生活、品牌中的实际应用。
1．句意：实际上，答案与重要性或价值无关——这些术语来自印刷机的历史！
后文强调术语源于印刷机历史，而非价值，nothing“无关”符合“与重要性无关”的逻辑。something“有关”、anything“任何事”、everything“一切”均不符合“否定价值关联”的语境。
2．句意：15世纪，Johannes Gutenberg在德国发明印刷机时，印刷工必须手工排列每个字母。
印刷机是Gutenberg创造的新事物，invented“发明”符合“创造新工具”的描述。discovered“发现（已存在事物）”、created“创造（抽象/具体事物）”、found“找到”均不符合“发明工具”的语境。
3．句意：因为a、b、c 这类小写字母在书写中使用得更加频繁，印刷工人就把它们放在下层字盘，也就是工作台下方的抽屉，工作时很容易够到。
前半句是原因，后半句是结果，Since“因为”符合“因果逻辑”。Although“尽管”、If“如果”、So“所以”均不符合“原因引导”的语境。
4．句意：因为a、b、c 这类小写字母在书写中使用得更加频繁，印刷工人就把它们放在下层字盘，也就是工作台下方的抽屉，工作时很容易够到。
结合“放在易拿的下层抽屉”，often“频繁地”符合“使用多”的逻辑。seldom“很少”、directly“直接地”、recently“最近”均不符合“使用频繁”的描述。
5．句意：因为a、b、c 这类小写字母在书写中使用得更加频繁，印刷工人就把它们放在下层字盘，也就是工作台下方的抽屉，工作时很容易够到。
lower case是“下层抽屉”，reach“够到”符合“易拿取”的语境。search“搜索”、match“匹配”、store“储存”均不符合“拿取”的动作。
6．句意：而大写字母的使用频率更低，被放在上层字盘，位置更高，需要工人抬手才能够得着。
与小写字母“使用频繁”对比，less“更少”符合“大写使用少”的逻辑。rather“相当”、more“更多”、as“和……一样”均不符合“对比”的语境。
7．句意：而大写字母的使用频率更低，被放在上层字盘，位置更高，需要工人抬手才能够得着。
upper case是“上层抽屉”，required“需要”符合“伸手拿取”的动作逻辑。encouraged“鼓励”、resulted“导致”、advised“建议”均不符合“客观动作要求”的语境。
8．句意：这种实用的习惯给了我们至今仍在使用的术语。
印刷工存放字母的方式是长期形成的习惯，habit“习惯”符合“长期做法”的描述。success“成功”、advice“建议”、order“命令”均不符合“习惯”的语境。
9．句意：有趣的是，大小写字母不仅看起来不同——它们给读者的感觉也不同。
后文提到“ALL CAPS像在大喊”，feel“感觉”符合“读者的主观感受”。remain“保持”、appear“看起来”、seem“似乎”均不符合“主观感受”的描述。
10．句意：当你看到全大写的文本时，通常感觉像是有人在大喊或发出重要警告。
结合“louder（更响亮）”，shouting“大喊”符合“全大写的强烈语气”。chatting“聊天”、talking“交谈”、saying“说”均不符合“强烈语气”的语境。
11．句意：例如，如果你的朋友给你发“HELP”而不是“help”，你立刻知道发生了严重的事。
“HELP”与“help”是替代关系，instead of“而不是”符合“对比替代”的逻辑。according to“根据”、together with“和……一起”、except for“除了”均不符合“替代”的语境。
12．句意：这就是为什么写着“STOP”或“DANGER”的路牌用大写：它们必须立刻吸引你的注意力。
catch one’s eyes是固定搭配，意为“吸引注意力”，eyes符合“视觉吸引”的逻辑。fingers“手指”、feet“脚”、ears“耳朵”均不符合“路牌视觉吸引”的语境。
13．句意：读小写的信息就像和朋友进行轻松的对话。
结合“warmth, friendliness（温暖、友好）”，relaxed“轻松的”符合“友好对话”的氛围。heated“激烈的”、formal“正式的”、serious“严肃的”均不符合“轻松”的语境。
14．句意：比如苹果、谷歌、阿迪达斯，常在产品上使用小写字母，以此拉近和年轻人的距离。
connect with是固定搭配，意为“与……建立联系”，connect符合“品牌贴近年轻人”的逻辑。fight“战斗”、agree“同意”、compare“比较”均不符合“建立联系”的语境。
15．句意：你选择的字母传递的信息比文字本身更响亮！
结合“全大写像大喊”，louder“更响亮”符合“字母传递的语气强度”。harder“更难”、faster“更快”、safer“更安全”均不符合“语气强度”的描述。

You’ve probably said the rhyme, “Pinky swear (许诺), seal (盖印) the promise, never break it for a hundred years.”—perhaps even as an adult. 1 have you ever wondered about its meaning, especially the puzzling part that 2 “hang yourself” in Chinese
That’s the part most misunderstood. It actually has 3 to do with hanging from a tree. Instead, it comes from an old 4 custom. “Hang” was a word for counting coins long ago. In ancient times, when people made a deal, they hung up strings (串) of coins to show the 5 was set and the deal was finished—no one could change their mind. 6 , this “hanging” action became a sign of “making an agreement”.
“Pinky swear” is like “promising from the heart”. The 7 finger is linked to a certain energy pathway. This pathway is thought to be 8 to the heart. When people hook (钩) pinkies, it means their hearts are joined, and they will keep their promise.
Then, 9 do we press our thumbs together In traditional culture, the thumb is linked to the earth, a symbol of being honest. Pressing thumbs is like “sealing the promise”—so the promise feels very 10 .
Next time you make a pinky promise, you are keeping alive a tradition of honesty and caring that has lasted for thousands of years.

6．句意：后来，这种“悬挂”的行为成了“达成协议”的标志。

Elena lived in a small fishing village by the sea. While other children watched the boats come and go, Elena kept her eyes on the 1 , not the water. She dreamed of flying. The children 2 her, “Fish can’t fly, and neither can you.” Elena didn’t argue, instead she just went home and started 3 .
Her first “wings” were made of old fishing nets and bamboo. She climbed onto the roof of her house, took a deep 4 , and jumped. She fell straight into a pile of hay (干草堆). It didn’t work, but she didn’t give up.
Version (版本) 2 was made of cardboard and cloth. Version 3 used thin pieces of wood. Each time, she climbed higher and fell 5 . Her mother worried. “Why can’t you just be 6 like other girls ” she asked. “Heaven helps those who help themselves,” Elena replied with a smile.
On her twelfth try, Elena built something 7 . She had saved money for months to buy a large piece of silk. She studied how birds moved their wings and 8 a simple machine to help control them.
The morning of the test, the whole village came to watch. Some came to laugh. Others came out of 9 . Elena stood at the top of the highest cliff (悬崖) near the village. The wind was strong that day—perfect for flying. She closed her eyes, said a small 10 to herself, and jumped. For a moment, she fell. The crowd held their breath. Then the wind 11 her silk wings. She didn’t fly like a bird—she glided (滑翔) like a kite. She stayed in the air for nearly a minute before landing safely on the beach below. The village was 12 . No one laughed anymore. Elena stood up, her heart pounding with joy. She hadn’t truly flown, but she had come 13 than anyone ever had.
Years later, Elena became an engineer who designed airplane parts. She never forgot the day she jumped off the cliff. That day taught her that failure is not the opposite of success—it is the 14 of it.

1．句意：当其他孩子看着船只来来往往时，Elena的目光却停留在天空，而不是水面。
下文“She dreamed of flying.”表明，她关注的是天空，sky符合语境。sea“海”、land“陆地”、boat“船”均与飞翔无关。
2．句意：孩子们嘲笑她，“鱼不会飞，你也一样。”
结合“Fish can’t fly, and neither can you.”可知，他们不相信Elena能飞翔，因此是嘲笑她，laughed at符合语境。looked at“看着”、waited for“等待”、cared for“关心”均不符合上下文的负面态度。
3．句意：Elena没有争辩，而是回到家开始制作（翅膀）。
后文“Her first ‘wings’ were made of old fishing nets and bamboo.”表明，她回家开始制作翅膀，building符合语境。crying“哭泣”、dreaming“做梦”、drawing“画画”均与她后续制作翅膀的行为不符。
4．句意：她爬上屋顶，深吸一口气，然后跳了下去。
结合“took a deep”以及“and jumped”，此处为跳之前的准备动作，take a deep breath为固定搭配，意为“深吸一口气”，符合语境，应用breath。look“看”、rest“休息”、sleep“睡觉”均不符合语境。
5．句意：每一次，她都爬得更高，摔得更重。
结合前文“she climbed higher”以及上下文语境，根据上下文，她不断尝试，爬得越来越高，因此摔得也更严重，harder符合语境。softer“更软”、lighter“更轻”、slower“更慢”都不符合逻辑。
6．句意：“你为什么不能像其他女孩一样正常呢？”她说
根据上下文，Elena一直在尝试制作翅膀，和其他女孩不一样，妈妈希望她能正常一点，normal符合语境。strange“奇怪的”、brave“勇敢的”、clever“聪明的”均不符合“像其他女孩”的对比。
7．句意：在第十二次尝试时，Elena制作了不一样的东西。
后文“She had saved money for months to buy a large piece of silk.”与前文用渔网、纸板等不同，different符合语境。ugly“丑陋的”、cheap“便宜的”、heavy“重的”都不是强调对比的核心。
8．句意：她研究鸟类如何扇动翅膀，并设计了一个简单的机器来帮助控制它们。
结合前文“She studied how birds moved their wings”以及后文“a simple machine to help control them”，她制作翅膀并研究飞行，因此是设计了一个控制翅膀的机器，designed符合语境。broke“打破”、borrowed“借”、hid“藏”均不符合语境。
9．句意：有些人是来嘲笑的，另一些人则是出于好奇。
结合“Some came to laugh.”以及上下文语境，与“来嘲笑”对应，村里的人来看她的尝试，除了嘲笑的人，还有出于好奇来看热闹的人，curiosity符合语境。sadness“悲伤”、fear“恐惧”、anger“愤怒”均不符合语境。
10．句意：她闭上眼睛，对自己说了一句简短的祈祷，然后跳了下去。
结合“She closed her eyes, said a small…to herself, and jumped.”以及常识可知，在危险行动前祈祷是常见的心理活动，prayer符合语境。joke“玩笑”、story“故事”、song“歌曲”均不符合语境。
11．句意：然后风托住了她的丝绸翅膀。
后文“She didn’t fly like a bird—she glided (滑翔) like a kite. She stayed in the air for nearly a minute before landing safely on the beach below.”表明，她成功滑翔，此处应指风托住了她的丝绸翅膀，caught符合语境。broke“打破”、burned“烧”、tied“系”均不符合语境。
12．句意：整个村子都安静了下来。
后文“No one laughed anymore.”表明，人们都被她的成功震惊了，不再喧闹，此处指安静下来，silent符合语境。worried“担心的”、noisy“吵闹的”、happy“高兴的”均不符合语境。
13．句意：她并没有真正飞翔，但她比以往任何人都更接近成功。
结合后文“Years later, Elena became an engineer who designed airplane parts.”，她成功滑翔，离飞翔的梦想更近了，closer符合语境。higher“更高”、farther“更远”、faster“更快”均不符合此处的语境。
14．句意：那一天教会她，失败不是成功的对立面——是成功的起点。
根据上下文，Elena不断从失败中吸取教训，最终取得了成功，因此失败是成功的起点，start符合语境。middle“中间”、rest“剩余部分”、end“结束”均不符合语境。
15．句意：并且每个听到这个故事的孩子都学到了同样的教训：失败的唯一方式就是停止尝试。
结合Elena的经历以及文章主旨，这个故事传递了一个教训，lesson符合语境。game“游戏”、rule“规则”、skill“技能”均不符合语境。

【导语】本文讲述了北京大学本学期开设了一门电子游戏相关的新课程，介绍了课程的面向对象、课程内容，以及研究者陈江对这门课程的解读和看法。
1．句意：北京大学本学期开设了一门关于电子游戏的新课程，学生们对了解中国快速发展的游戏产业表现出了极大的兴趣。
结合上下文，学生们愿意了解游戏产业，应是表现出“兴趣”，interest“兴趣”符合。problem“问题”、worry“担心”、fear“恐惧”均与语境不符。
2．句意：《电子游戏概论》这门课程对所有学生开放，想要上这门课的学生可以在网上报名。
根据后文“can sign up on the Internet”，可知课程是“开放的”，open“开放的”符合。similar“相似的”、opposite“相反的”、closed“关闭的”均不符合语境。
3．句意：尽管该课程仅为120名学生设计，但9月26日的第一堂课仍吸引了200多名学生。
前文“仅限120人”和后文“吸引200多人”是转折关系，Though“尽管”表转折，符合逻辑。Since“既然”、If“如果”、Because“因为”均表因果或条件，不符。
4．句意：这门课程不是教学生如何玩电子游戏，而是深入研究电子游戏，比如游戏开发和玩游戏给玩家带来的心理问题。
结合后文“but to have deep research about electronic games”，可知此处是说不教“如何”玩游戏，how“如何”符合。what“什么”、where“哪里”、whether“是否”均不符合句意。
5．句意：这门课程不是教学生如何玩电子游戏，而是深入研究电子游戏，比如游戏开发和玩游戏给玩家带来的心理问题。
结合常识和后文陈江的话，玩游戏会带来心理方面的问题，problems“问题”符合。markets“市场”、suggestions“建议”、choices“选择”均与“心理”搭配不当。
6．句意：事实证明，这个产业对国内生产总值有很大帮助，但许多人仍然认为玩电子游戏是浪费时间，尤其是对学生来说。
此处强调“尤其”针对学生，especially“尤其”符合。carelessly“粗心地”、specially“专门地”、completely“完全地”均不符合语境。
7．句意：这门课程并不是为了挑战传统观念。
前文提到很多人认为玩游戏浪费时间，这是一种传统看法，traditional“传统的”符合。central“中心的”、international“国际的”、educational“教育的”均不符。
8．句意：20年来，中国各个年龄段的人，无论老少，都玩过电子游戏。
根据后文“no matter old or young”，可知此处指“各个年龄段”，ages“年龄”符合。teams“团队”、jobs“工作”、kinds“种类”均不符合句意。
9．句意：这个产业在我们的日常生活中已经变得非常重要，而且这个产业的发展将会影响更多的人。
结合前文“the industry is a great help to GDP”，可知产业很“重要”，important“重要的”符合。difficult“困难的”、boring“无聊的”、strange“奇怪的”均不符。
10．句意：对他们来说，思考如何引导这个产业是很重要的。
结合前文“Maybe some of our students will work in the government of the country to make policies (政策) in the future.”，可知需要“思考”如何引导产业，think about“思考”符合。look at“看”、wait for“等待”、belong to“属于”均不符合语境。

（2026·江苏镇江·模拟预测）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar If you have a wide vocabulary, you can communicate successfully 1 the grammar is not perfect.
However, one 2 problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Why does this often happen The main 3 is that most students learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not 4 if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them 5 . You can do this with a very easy exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than 6 reading its meaning. You should write the word, the meaning in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
7 you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), meaning—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous as he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. If your example sentences have 8 to do with your own life, it’s especially good. That can create a 9 connection with the new word. This way, you will remember the word much longer and more easily.
The next day, 10 your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence with the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two easy steps—writing the word and using it right now—help you remember and use the new word.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.

【导语】本文指出词汇比语法更重要，分析了学单词易遗忘的原因，介绍了用单词本记录、造句、即时运用并及时复习的高效记词方法。
1．句意：如果你词汇量丰富，即使语法不完美，也能成功交流。
“词汇量丰富”与“语法不完美”是让步关系，though“即使”符合逻辑。unless“除非”、because“因为”、until“直到”均不符合让步语境。
2．句意：然而，一个常见的问题是学习新单词后又忘记。
“学了忘”是词汇学习中普遍存在的现象，common“常见的”符合“普遍问题”的描述。latest“最新的”、strange“奇怪的”、past“过去的”均不符合“普遍”的语境。
3．句意：主要原因是大多数学生通过背单词表和词典来学习词汇。
前文问“为什么会发生”，cause“原因”符合“解释原因”的逻辑。suggestion“建议”、event“事件”、talent“天赋”均不符合“原因”的语境。
4．句意：但如果记忆力不好，这种方法可能不起作用。
“背单词表”对记忆力差的人无效，work“起作用”符合“方法效果”的描述。appear“出现”、change“改变”、rise“上升”均不符合“方法有效”的逻辑。
5．句意：学习词汇并记住的最佳方法是学习新单词并立即使用。
“立即使用”能巩固记忆，at once“立刻”符合“及时运用”的语境。at last“最后”、in order“有序地”、by accident“偶然”均不符合“快速运用”的逻辑。
6．句意：写作比单纯阅读单词含义更主动。
simply“单纯地”强调“仅阅读”的被动性，符合“写作更主动”的对比。highly“高度地”、widely“广泛地”、suddenly“突然地”均不符合“单纯阅读”的描述。
7．句意：假设你刚学了“generous”这个词。
后文举例说明如何记录单词，Suppose“假设”符合“举例前提”的语境。Forget“忘记”、Decide“决定”、Believe“相信”均不符合“举例假设”的逻辑。
8．句意：如果你的例句与自己的生活有关，那就特别好。
have something to do with是固定搭配，意为“与……有关”，something符合“关联生活”的逻辑。anything“任何事（否定/疑问）”、everything“一切”、nothing“无关”均不符合搭配。
9．句意：这能与新单词建立个人联系。
“与自己生活有关”会形成个人化的记忆连接，personal“个人的”符合“私人关联”的描述。present“现在的”、central“中心的”、social“社会的”均不符合“个人记忆”的语境。
10．句意：第二天，再复习你的词汇笔记本，试着用新单词再写一个例句。
go over“复习”符合“巩固记忆”的动作。hand in“上交”、show off“炫耀”、look for“寻找”均不符合“复习笔记”的逻辑。

（2026·江苏扬州·一模）The people of Lilliput called me ‘Man Mountain’ and they came from all over the country to see me. People had to 1 to see me and the money made the emperor very rich.
One day, the emperor organized a parade for his people. He asked me to stand and his army walked through my legs to entertain (使快乐) everyone. There were thousands of soldiers, some of them on horses. Everyone was 2 .
The emperor and his people always 3 me well and helped me in many ways. They organized 4 lessons for me. So gradually I began to understand and communicate with the Lilliputians and learn more about their lives.
But I was still a prisoner (囚犯) in my temple home and every day I asked the emperor the same question:
“Can I please have my freedom ”
“You must be 5 ,” he always answered.
Then one day the emperor gave me the freedom to walk about Lilliput. This made a big 6 to me. I was able to explore the land. I was careful not to hurt the people or 7 their houses as I walked. Everyone stayed inside and ran to their windows to look at me. I enjoyed looking into the windows of the emperor’s beautiful palace to see how he lived.
Everything seemed well and 8 in Lilliput and I saw no problems for the people there. 9 I was wrong. One day a good friend, Reldresal, came to see me and told me about a terrible conflict (冲突) between Lilliput and a country 10 .
“My dear Gulliver,” he said, “please do not think that everything is 11 here in Lilliput. The truth is very different. We are at present fighting 12 a country called Blefuscu.”
I was shocked to hear this news.
“More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died in this conflict.”
“How 13 ,” I said “But 14 are you fighting ”

【导语】本文改编自《格列佛游记》，讲述了Gulliver在小人国Lilliput的经历，从被人们围观、学习当地语言、获得自由，到发现Lilliput正与邻国发生冲突的故事。
1．句意：人们不得不付钱来看我，这些钱让皇帝变得非常富有。
根据后文“the money made the emperor very rich”可知，人们需要付费来看Gulliver，pay“付款”符合语境；agree“同意”、prepare“准备”、wait“等待”均与“皇帝变富有”的因果逻辑不符。
2．句意：每个人都很开心。
根据前文“His army walked through my legs to entertain everyone.”可知，阅兵是为了让大家开心，happy“开心的”符合语境；tired“疲惫的”、calm“平静的”、worried“担忧的”均与“娱乐众人”的目的相悖。
3．句意：皇帝和他的人民总是对我很好，在很多方面帮助我。
根据后文“helped me in many ways”可知，他们对待Gulliver很友好，treated“对待”符合语境。
4．句意：他们为我组织了语言课程。
根据后文“So gradually I began to understand and communicate with the Lilliputians”可知，Gulliver学习了和小人国人民交流的语言，language“语言”符合语境。
5．句意：“你必须要有耐心。”他总是这样回答。
根据前文“every day I asked the emperor the same question”可知，Gulliver每天都在请求自由，皇帝的回应是让他耐心等待，patient“有耐心的”符合语境；humorous“幽默的”、honest“诚实的”、polite“礼貌的”均无法回应Gulliver反复请求的场景。
6．句意：这对我来说意义重大。
make a big difference为固定搭配，意为“产生重大影响”，此处指获得自由对Gulliver的意义。
7．句意：我走路时很小心，不伤害人们或弄坏他们的房子。
根据前文“I was careful not to hurt the people”可知，Gulliver也很注意不损坏他们的房屋，break“弄坏、破坏”符合语境；enter“进入”、leave“离开”、clean“打扫”均与“小心不造成破坏”的语境不符。
8．句意：在Lilliput，一切看起来都很平静祥和，我没看到当地人有什么问题。
根据后文“I saw no problems for the people there”可知，Gulliver看到的景象是和平的，peaceful“和平的”符合语境；powerful“强大的”、hopeful“有希望的”、helpful“有帮助的”均无法体现“没有问题”的状态。
9．句意：但我错了。
根据前文Gulliver认为一切都很平静，后文却得知存在冲突，前后为转折关系，But“但是”符合语境；Or“或者”、So“所以”、And“并且”均无法体现转折逻辑。
10．句意：有一天，一位名叫Reldresal的好朋友来看我，告诉我Lilliput和附近一个国家之间发生了可怕的冲突。
根据后文的冲突背景，此处指邻国，nearby“附近的”符合语境；across“穿过”、inside“内部”、abroad“国外”均不符合“与Lilliput发生冲突的国家”的描述。
11．句意：“我亲爱的Gulliver，”他说，“请不要以为Lilliput这里一切都那么完美。真实情况截然不同。我们目前正在与一个叫做Blefuscu的国家交战。”
根据前文“I saw no problems for the people there.”及后文“The truth is very different”可知，此处指Gulliver之前认为一切都很完美，perfect“完美的”符合语境；funny“有趣的”、important“重要的”、strange“奇怪的”均与后文的转折逻辑不符。
12．句意：“我亲爱的Gulliver，”他说，“请不要以为Lilliput这里一切都那么完美。真实情况截然不同。我们目前正在与一个叫做Blefuscu的国家交战。”
fight against为固定搭配，意为“与……作战”，此处指Lilliput与邻国的战争。
13．句意：“太可怕了，”我说，“但你们为什么打仗？”
根据前文“More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died in this conflict.”可知，这场冲突造成了大量死亡，是可怕的，terrible“可怕的”符合语境。
14．句意：“太可怕了，”我说，“但你们为什么打仗？”
根据后文“We are fighting because of eggs”可知，此处是询问战争的原因，why“为什么”符合语境。
15．句意：“鸡蛋！”我惊讶地大喊。
根据后文“I could not believe my ears”可知，Gulliver得知战争竟是因鸡蛋而起时，感到难以置信，表现出强烈的惊讶，surprise“惊讶”符合语境；

（2026·江苏连云港·一模）Becoming a middle school student made me excited. However, my big 1 came soon after I got into my new school.
Most of my classmates were a head 2 than me. I was often pushed aside by some of them. An unfriendly boy 3 called me “Dwarf (矮子)Dora”, which hurt me 4 .
My friend Lily noticed I was unhappy. She put her arm on my shoulder and said, “Hey, 5 . I am always with you because you are kind and nice. It’s your mind that truly matters, not your height. You’re amazing being yourself.” Her words were like the warm 6 breaking through dark clouds.
From then on, whenever someone said something terrible about my height, I didn’t 7 it at all. I would think of Lily’s kind 8 . I threw myself into studies and took up the violin and swimming. With my hard work and Lily’s care, I 9 myself a lot.

I broke down the math problem into steps, and he finally understood. His face turned 12 and he said, “Dora, thank you for your help. And, hmm, I am really sorry for 13 I said before. You are very nice and great.” “It’s OK.” I smiled.
After that, nobody 14 me and I became quite popular with my classmates. Now I understand “We are amazing just being ourselves.” 15 we stay true to ourselves, people will be glad to make friends with us. It’s our mind that matters.

【导语】本文讲述了作者因身高矮小被同学嘲笑，在朋友Lily的鼓励下重拾自信，努力提升自己并最终赢得他人尊重的故事，传递了“真正重要的是内心而非外表”的道理。
1．句意：成为一名中学生让我很兴奋。然而，进入新学校后不久，我的大麻烦就来了。
前文提到“excited（兴奋）”，后文出现转折词“However”，说明后文是与兴奋相反的负面经历，后文提到作者因身高被同学排挤、嘲笑，trouble（麻烦、困境）符合语境，program（项目）、surprise（惊喜）、happiness（快乐）均与后文的负面经历矛盾，逻辑不通。
2．句意：我的大多数同学都比我更高一头。
后文提到同学叫作者“Dwarf（矮子）”，说明作者比同学矮，因此同学比作者高，taller（更高的）符合语境。weaker（更弱的）、shorter（更矮的，与文意相反）、stronger（更强壮的）均与“身高” 无关，不符合语境。
3．句意：一个不友好的男孩甚至叫我“矮子 Dora”，这深深地伤害了我。
前文提到作者被同学推搡，这里用递进关系表示男孩的行为变本加厉，用“even”表示“甚至”，体现行为的恶劣程度。even（甚至）符合语境，still（仍然）、hardly（几乎不）、already（已经）均无法体现递进的负面行为，逻辑不通。
4．句意：这深深地伤害了我。
这里需要一个副词修饰“hurt（伤害）”，表示伤害的程度。badly（严重地、恶劣地）符合语境，“hurt badly” 表示“深受伤害”。suddenly（突然地）、quickly（快速地）、angrily（生气地）均不能修饰“hurt”表示伤害的程度，不符合语境。
5．句意：她把手搭在我肩上说：“嘿，振作起来。我一直陪着你，因为你善良又友好。真正重要的是你的内心，不是你的身高。你做自己的样子就很棒。”
前文提到作者因被嘲笑而不开心，Lily的话是在鼓励她振作起来。cheer up（振作起来）符合语境，这是安慰、鼓励他人的常用表达。stand up（站起来）、make up（编造 / 化妆）、get up（起床）均与“安慰情绪低落的人”无关，不符合语境。
6．句意：她的话就像温暖的阳光，冲破了乌云。
后文提到“breaking through dark clouds（冲破乌云）”，这里用比喻的手法，Lily的话像阳光一样驱散了作者的阴霾。sunshine（阳光）符合语境。rain（雨）、wind（风）、storm（暴风雨）均与“温暖、驱散阴霾”的语境不符。
7．句意：从那以后，每当有人说关于我身高的难听的话，我一点也不在意它。
后文提到作者只会想起Lily的话，说明她不再在意别人的评价。pay attention to（在意、注意）符合语境，“didn’t pay attention to it”表示“毫不在意”。look after（照顾）、take care of（照顾）、learn from（向……学习）均与“不在意他人评价”的语境无关。
8．句意：我只会想起 Lily 善意的话语。
前文提到Lily对作者说了鼓励的话，这里指作者会想起这些话。words（话语）符合语境，对应前文Lily的鼓励之词，jokes（玩笑）、smiles（微笑）、hopes（希望）均无法直接对应前文的对话内容，不符合语境。
9．句意：通过我的努力和Lily的关心，我提升了很多。
后文提到作者投入学习、学习小提琴和游泳，最终变得受欢迎，说明她得到了提升。improved（提升、进步）符合语境，努力和关心让作者变得更好，prepared（准备）、invited（邀请）、fought（打架 / 奋斗）均无法体现“变得更好”的结果，不符合语境。
10．句意：有一天，曾经叫我“矮子 Dora”的Ben，做数学作业有困难。
固定搭配“have problems with sth.”表示“在某方面有困难”，with符合语境。for、to、between均不与“have problems”构成此搭配。
11．句意：看到他的麻烦，我决定思考一会儿后帮他。
后文提到作者把数学题分解成步骤，说明她先思考了一下解题方法再帮助Ben。thinking（思考）符合语境，“after thinking for a while”表示“思考了一会儿之后”，watching（观看）、reading（阅读）、hating（讨厌）均与“解题前的准备”无关，不符合语境。
12．句意：他的脸变红了，说：“Dora，谢谢你的帮助。还有，嗯，我为之前说的话感到抱歉。你人很好，很棒。”
Ben之前嘲笑过作者，现在作者帮了他，他感到愧疚和不好意思，脸会变红。red（红的）符合语境。blue（蓝的，常表悲伤）、dark（黑的）、green（绿的，常表嫉妒）均不符合语境。
13．句意：我为我之前说的话感到抱歉。
这里需要一个词引导宾语从句，指代“之前说的内容”。what符合语境，what引导宾语从句，在从句中作said 的宾语，表示“我说的话”。that（引导宾语从句时无实际意义，不作成分）、which（哪一个）、this（不能引导从句）均不符合语法规则。
14．句意：从那以后，没有人再嘲笑我，我也变得很受同学们欢迎。
前文提到同学嘲笑作者，后文提到她变得受欢迎，说明不再有人嘲笑她了。laughed at（嘲笑）符合语境，对应前文的“叫外号”行为。worried about（担心）、cared about（关心）、looked at（看）均与“不再被嘲笑”的语境不符。
15．句意：如果我们忠于自己，人们就会乐于和我们交朋友。真正重要的是我们的内心。
这里需要一个条件状语从句的引导词，表示“如果”的逻辑关系，If（如果）符合语境，符合“如果我们忠于自己，人们就会和我们交朋友”的逻辑，Before（在……之前）、Until（直到）、After（在……之后）均不符合条件逻辑。

For the past 20 years, Reckoning Theater in Beijing has been narrating (讲述) the scenes and settings of movies to its audience. That's because all its audience members are 1 people, like 65-year-old Xiao Huanyi who can’t see. “I had to listen to the stories on the radio in the past,” he said. “But this cinema 2 the scenes so I can imagine the story myself. That is amazing.”
By 2021, there were over 17 million blind or partly blind people in China. However, when it comes to meeting the needs of these people, spaces like Reckoning Theater are still 3 , voices calling for a better life for them are growing louder and never stop. The public don’t 4 want them to live — they want them to live better, both in body and in heart.
Reckoning Theater was started by Wang Weili in 2005. The 64-year-old still remembers watching a movie with a blind friend in 2000. He described every scene to his friend 5 , and his friend really enjoyed it. This experience encouraged Wang to start the theater with his own savings. “They have the right to see a film just like us, but they see it through 6 .” Wang said, “A better life goes far beyond basic living needs. 7 the government has provided special schools and sidewalks, these alone are not enough.”
According to Wang, it is not easy to narrate a movie. Preparations for screening a two-and-a-half-hour movie could take as 8 as two weeks. He must watch the movie many times to know the story and its characters. When he narrates, Wang talks about what is shown on the 9 , instead of what happens.
Thanks to Reckoning Theater, blind people can enjoy movies like everyone else. It brings them joy, knowledge, and a chance to 10 to the world.

【导语】本文讲述了北京“Xinmu Cinema”20年来一直为盲人观众讲述电影画面。65岁的肖焕义过去只能听广播，现在通过讲述也能“看”电影了。创始人王伟力2005年用自己的积蓄创办了这家影院，认为盲人同样有权“看”电影，只不过是通过耳朵。他认为更好的生活不仅仅是基本生存，政府虽然提供了特殊学校和盲道，但这还不够。
1．句意：那是因为所有的观众都是盲人，比如65岁、看不见的肖焕义。
根据后文“who can’t see”以及65岁肖焕义的例子，可知这里观众是“盲人”，应选“blind”。“deaf”聋的，“homeless”无家可归的，“old”年老的，均不符合“看不见”这一关键信息。
2．句意：但是这电影院描述了那些场景，所以我能够自己想象这个故事。
根据前文提到“Reckoning Theater has been narrating the scenes and settings of movies to its audience” (心目影院一直在向观众讲述电影的场景和画面)，此处应选表示“描述”的词。“describes”描述符合文意。“draws”画，“paints”绘画，“shows”展示，均不如“describes”贴合“用语言讲述画面”的语境。
3．句意：然而，在满足这些人群的需求方面，像“心目影院”这样的空间仍然很少。
根据后文“呼吁他们更好生活的声音越来越响亮”，说明这样的空间目前在数量上还不够，应选表示“稀少的”词。“rare”稀少的/罕见的符合文意。“common”常见的，“popular”受欢迎的，“rich”丰富的，均不符合“不够多”的语境。
4．句意：公众不仅仅是希望他们活下去——而是希望他们过得更好，身心俱佳。
根据后文“they want them to live better” (希望他们过得更好)，可知前面说的是“不仅仅是”活下去，“simply”仅仅/只是符合文意。“easily”容易地，“wisely”明智地，“nearly”几乎，均不符合。
5．句意：他详细地向朋友描述了每一个场景，他的朋友真的很享受。
根据前文“He described every scene”以及朋友很享受，可知他描述得很“详细”。“in detail”详细地符合文意。“in fact”事实上，“in danger”处于危险中，“in surprise”惊讶地，均不符合。
6．句意：他们有权像我们一样看电影，但他们是通过听觉 (耳朵) 来看的。
根据前文盲人观众看不见，只能听讲述，可知他们是通过“听觉”来“看”电影的，应选与耳朵/听觉相关的词。“words”言语/话语符合文意。“touch”触觉，“sight”视觉，“taste”味觉，均不符合。
7．句意：尽管政府提供了特殊学校和盲道，但仅凭这些还不够。
前后是让步关系，应选表示“虽然/尽管”的连词。“Though”符合文意。“Because”因为表原因，“So”所以表结果，“But”但是表转折，均不符合。
8．句意：准备放映一部两个半小时的电影可能需要长达两周的时间。
“as long as”是固定搭配，用于表示时间长度，意为“长达……”，所以填“long”。“as short as”短至，“as fast as”快至，“as slow as”慢至，均不符合“两周时间”的语境。
9．句意：当他讲述时，王伟力讲述的是屏幕上显示的内容，而不是发生的事情。
电影的画面是显示在“屏幕” (screen) 上的。“TV”电视机，“radio”收音机，“book”书，均不符合。
10．句意：它给他们带来了快乐、知识，以及与世界交流的机会。
根据前文盲人通过影院能够了解世界，应选表示“交流/连接”的词。“connect to”连接/与……建立联系符合文意。“contribute to”贡献于，“communicate”后通常接with，“compare to”比作，均不如“connect”贴切。

The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said 8 , “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I 9 get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on 10 side.”
“That’s true. As you noticed last night, some camels sat down on their own, while others 11 some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after lots of effort. Then after a while, you would see that even though they didn’t sit 12 , some of the camels finally sat down on their own,” the old man said.
James nodded. The 13 old man added, “Problems are just like camels. Some problems are solved by 14 , some are solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time.

【导语】本文讲述了商人James因生活中的各种挑战而烦恼，一位老人用让他在一晚上让100头骆驼坐下休息的比喻，告诉他问题就像骆驼，有些会自动解决，有些需要努力，有些则需交给时间。
1．句意：尽管拥有很多，但他经常因为无休止的挑战而感到不快乐。
前后句为转折关系，表示“尽管”拥有很多但不快乐，Although“虽然，尽管”符合。Because“因为”表原因，Unless“除非”表条件，Until“直到”表时间，均与转折逻辑不符。
2．句意：一天，一位老人带着100头骆驼来到了村庄。

4．句意：请告诉我如何让它们消失。
根据下文老人教他解决问题的方法，可知他问“如何”让问题消失，how“如何”符合。what“什么”、where“哪里”、which“哪一个”与方式不符。
5．句意：老人笑着说：“我会在明天早上给你答案，但首先，你能为我做一件小事吗？”
前后句为转折关系，表示会给出答案“但”先做小事，but“但是”符合。and“和”表并列，or“或者”表选择，so“所以”表结果，均与转折逻辑不符。
6．句意：老人让他照顾100头骆驼过夜。
根据下文让骆驼坐下休息，可知是“照顾”骆驼，take care of“照顾”符合。take notice of“注意”、take pity on“同情”、take part in“参加”与照料行为不符。

（2026·江苏南京·一模）School is a great place to know more clearly about ourselves.
Leo hated his name. Every time the teacher called “Leo” in class, he would sink (下沉) lower in his chair, wishing he could disappear. He thought his name sounded 1 and old-fashioned, like something from a black-and-white movie. His classmates had cool names like “Alex” or “Mia.” Leo 2 his name made him different—in a bad way.
One day, the school asked everyone to bring a family 3 for a history project. Leo found an old picture of a serious-looking man with kind eyes. “That’s your great-grandfather Leo,” his grandfather said. Then he told Leo the story: “Your great-grandfather was the first person in our town to build a library. He worked as a carpenter during the day and 4 donated books at night. People laughed at him, but he never 5 . ‘Every child,’ he said, ‘should have books to read.’”
Leo was 6 . He had never known that. Suddenly, his name was no longer a heavy stone. It became a lantern—carrying a story of 7 and hope.

He no longer sank in his chair. “My name is Leo,” he said 8 . “It means being someone who helps others learn. My great-grandfather built a library. One day, I want to build something too—maybe a reading club.”
After class, a classmate said, “Leo, that’s really cool.” For the first time, Leo 9 when hearing his name.

I usually read books on the beach while my mom and sister enjoyed 2 shells (贝壳). This time they filled their pockets and bags with seashells, and then took them home. They meant to 3 all kinds of things with the seashells. On the last day of our trip, I got into the family 4 of collecting shells too. I grabbed handfuls of (一把) sand and picked out shell treasures.

Have you ever wondered why we call capital letters “uppercase” and small letters “lowercase” Actually, the answer has 1 to do with importance or value — these terms come from the history of printing presses (印刷机)!
Back in the 1400s, when Johannes Gutenberg 2 the printing press in Germany, printers had to arrange (排列) every single letter by hand. They stored thousands of metal letters in special wooden drawers (抽屉) called “cases”.
3 small letters like a, b, and c were used much more 4 in writing, printers kept them in the lower case—the bottom drawer that was easy to 5 while working. Capital letters (A, B, C), which appeared 6 often, were stored in the upper case—the higher drawer that 7 printers to reach up. This practical 8 gave us the terms we still use today.
Interestingly, uppercase and lowercase letters don’t just look different—they 9 different to readers.
When you see a text written in ALL CAPS, it often feels like someone is 10 or giving an important warning. For example, if your friend texts you “HELP” 11 “help”, you immediately know something serious is happening. Studies show that uppercase letters seem “louder” and more attention-grabbing. That is why road signs saying “STOP” or “DANGER” use capitals: they must catch your 12 immediately.
On the other hand, lowercase letters create feelings of warmth, friendliness and closeness. Reading a message in lowercase is like having a 13 conversation with a friend. This is why many modern brands use lowercase in their names and logos to seem approachable and friendly. Think about iPhone, Google, or adidas, they often use lowercase letters in their products to 14 with young people.
So the next time you type a message, think carefully: Are you “shouting” with uppercase, or “whispering” with lowercase Your choice of letters sends a message 15 than the words themselves!

You’ve probably said the rhyme, “Pinky swear (许诺), seal (盖印) the promise, never break it for a hundred years.”—perhaps even as an adult. 1 have you ever wondered about its meaning, especially the puzzling part that 2 “hang yourself” in Chinese
That’s the part most misunderstood. It actually has 3 to do with hanging from a tree. Instead, it comes from an old 4 custom. “Hang” was a word for counting coins long ago. In ancient times, when people made a deal, they hung up strings (串) of coins to show the 5 was set and the deal was finished—no one could change their mind. 6 , this “hanging” action became a sign of “making an agreement”.
“Pinky swear” is like “promising from the heart”. The 7 finger is linked to a certain energy pathway. This pathway is thought to be 8 to the heart. When people hook (钩) pinkies, it means their hearts are joined, and they will keep their promise.
Then, 9 do we press our thumbs together In traditional culture, the thumb is linked to the earth, a symbol of being honest. Pressing thumbs is like “sealing the promise”—so the promise feels very 10 .
Next time you make a pinky promise, you are keeping alive a tradition of honesty and caring that has lasted for thousands of years.

Her first “wings” were made of old fishing nets and bamboo. She climbed onto the roof of her house, took a deep 4 , and jumped. She fell straight into a pile of hay (干草堆). It didn’t work, but she didn’t give up.
Version (版本) 2 was made of cardboard and cloth. Version 3 used thin pieces of wood. Each time, she climbed higher and fell 5 . Her mother worried. “Why can’t you just be 6 like other girls ” she asked. “Heaven helps those who help themselves,” Elena replied with a smile.
On her twelfth try, Elena built something 7 . She had saved money for months to buy a large piece of silk. She studied how birds moved their wings and 8 a simple machine to help control them.
The morning of the test, the whole village came to watch. Some came to laugh. Others came out of 9 . Elena stood at the top of the highest cliff (悬崖) near the village. The wind was strong that day—perfect for flying. She closed her eyes, said a small 10 to herself, and jumped. For a moment, she fell. The crowd held their breath. Then the wind 11 her silk wings. She didn’t fly like a bird—she glided (滑翔) like a kite. She stayed in the air for nearly a minute before landing safely on the beach below. The village was 12 . No one laughed anymore. Elena stood up, her heart pounding with joy. She hadn’t truly flown, but she had come 13 than anyone ever had.
Years later, Elena became an engineer who designed airplane parts. She never forgot the day she jumped off the cliff. That day taught her that failure is not the opposite of success—it is the 14 of it.
The villagers still tell the story of the girl who tried to fly. And every child who hears it learns the same 15 : the only way to fail is to stop trying.

（2026·江苏镇江·一模）Peking University started a new course on electronic games this term, and the students showed their great 1 in knowing the fast-developing game industry in China.

For 20 years, Chinese people of all 8 , no matter old or young, have played electronic games.

（2026·江苏镇江·模拟预测）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar If you have a wide vocabulary, you can communicate successfully 1 the grammar is not perfect.
However, one 2 problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Why does this often happen The main 3 is that most students learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not 4 if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them 5 . You can do this with a very easy exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than 6 reading its meaning. You should write the word, the meaning in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
7 you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), meaning—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous as he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. If your example sentences have 8 to do with your own life, it’s especially good. That can create a 9 connection with the new word. This way, you will remember the word much longer and more easily.
The next day, 10 your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence with the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two easy steps—writing the word and using it right now—help you remember and use the new word.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.

His room became a quiet place, and the light of the screen was his only friend.

But for teenagers like my son, it is about learning to be responsible (有责任的) for their own lives. We needed open talks, not just plans.
