一、单项选择（本题共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1．—Schools across China ________ from “scores first” to “health first” recently.
—Yes, it’s taken under China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) for high-quality education development.
A．moved B．have moved C．are moving D．will move
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——最近，全国各地的学校已经从“分数第一”转向了“健康第一”。——是的，这是在中国“十五五”规划 (2026-30)下采取的高质量教育发展措施。
根据句中时间状语“recently”可知，动作发生在过去但对现在造成影响，应用现在完成时，其结构是“have/has+动词的过去分词”，主语是复数，用助动词have，move的过去分词是moved。
2．—Daniel, ________ did you move here with your parents
—We ________ here since two years ago.
A．when, have lived B．how long, lived
C．how long, have moved D．when, moved
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——丹尼尔，你什么时候和父母搬到这里来的？——自从两年前以来我们就住在这里了。
when什么时候；have lived已经居住，现在完成时；how long多长时间；lived居住，一般过去时；have moved已经搬家；moved搬家。根据答句中时间状语“since two years ago”可知，句子应用现在完成时，排除B、D选项；move是瞬间动词，不能与表示一段时间的时间状语连用，live是延续性动词，可以与since连用，排除C选项。问句中助动词为did，询问搬家时间点用when。所以选A。
3．When the teacher asked Lily to lend her new storybook to the classmate who often lost books, she looked ________ because she was afraid the book might never be returned.
A．unwilling B．unhappy C．unsure D．uncomfortable
【答案】A
【详解】句意：当老师让莉莉把她的新故事书借给那个经常丢书的同学时，她看起来不情愿，因为她害怕这本书可能再也回不来了。
unwilling不情愿的；unhappy不快乐的；unsure不确定的；uncomfortable不舒服的。根据“because she was afraid the book might never be returned”可知，莉莉担心书收不回来，所以对借书这件事表现出“不情愿”。
4．Travelling to different places helps us collect ________ wonderful memories and learn about different cultures.
A．a wealth of B．a set of C．a bit of D．a pair of
【答案】A
【详解】句意：去不同的地方旅行有助于我们收集大量美好的回忆并了解不同的文化。
a wealth of大量的；a set of一套；a bit of一点儿；a pair of一双/一对。根据“Travelling to different places helps us collect…wonderful memories and learn about different cultures.”的句意可知，旅行能帮助我们收集大量的美好回忆，且memories为可数名词复数，a wealth of可修饰可数名词复数，表示“大量的”，符合语境。
5．—I finally finished that difficult project. I feel on cloud nine.
—________ You’ve worked so hard on it.
A．Like what B．Congratulations! C．What else D．I see.
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——我终于完成了那个困难的项目。我感到非常高兴。——恭喜！你为此付出了很多努力。
Like what比如说；Congratulations恭喜你；What else还有别的吗；I see我明白了。结合上文完成困难项目后的喜悦心情，以及下文对对方努力工作的肯定，可知此处应表达祝贺之意。
6．The most important thing is not to win a medal, but ______ part in the competition.
A．take B．to take C．taking D．takes
【答案】B
【详解】句意：最重要的不是赢得奖牌，而是参加比赛。
句子结构为“not...but...”连接两个并列成分，前为“to win a medal”（不定式短语），后也应用不定式短语“to take part in”，故选用to take。
7．This kind of medicine can ________ many kinds of diseases.
A．cure B．treat C．miss D．benefit
【答案】A
【详解】句意：这种药能治愈许多种疾病。
cure治愈；treat治疗；miss错过；benefit有益于。根据主语“This kind of medicine”和宾语“many kinds of diseases”可知，此处指药物能治愈疾病。cure强调治愈的结果，常与disease搭配；treat侧重治疗的过程，常指医生治疗病人。miss和benefit语意不符。故用cure。
8．—Where ________the 29th Olympic Games ________ —They _______ in Beijing.
A．did; hold; took place B．were; held; were taken place
C．were; held; took place D．did; hold; were taken place
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——第29届奥运会在哪里举行？——它们在北京举行了。
第一、二空，hold意为“举办”，与主语the 28th Olympic Games之间是被动关系，且动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态were held，第三空，take place意为“发生/举行”，是不及物动词短语，没有被动语态，应用一般过去时的主动形式took place。
9．A new teaching building ________ at Wangjiang Road Campus in 2027. We are looking forward to it.
A．builds B．will build C．will be built D．is built
【答案】C
【详解】句意：2027 年一座新的教学楼将在望江路校区被建造，我们很期待它。
builds建造；will build将建造；will be built将被建造；is built被建造。根据时间状语“in 2027”可知时态为一般将来时；主语“A new teaching building”与动词“build”之间是被动关系，需用被动语态，结构为“will be + 过去分词”。故选C。
10．—Sir, it seems hard for me to finish the task alone.
—Don’t worry. A lot of support ________ soon.
A．was offered B．is offered C．will be offered D．were offered
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——先生，我一个人似乎很难完成这项任务。——别担心。很快会有很多支持提供。
根据“soon”可知，动作发生在将来，应用一般将来时；主语“A lot of support”与动词“offer”之间是被动关系，故用一般将来时的被动语态“will be offered”。

Many young people in China are willing to be good helpers to animals in danger. They set up clubs to care about animals, raise money to buy food for them, spend time talking to them, and make friends with them.
I’m not a vet (兽医) yet. But every Saturday, after finishing my homework, I come to the local animal hospital to help the vets there.
I always arrive at the animal hospital early in the morning, but there has been a lot of work to do already: looking after weak animals, giving them food and water, and even giving them a kiss on the head.
At first, they look at us with frightened (害怕的) eyes. If an animal is too frightened, a vet will hold it and say, “You shouldn’t worry, and everything will be fine.” A few animals are sitting on clean tables, waiting for the vet to examine (检查) them. Others are waiting in their rooms.
I’m washing a dog’s hurt leg. I work carefully, because I want to make sure I won’t do anything to hurt it. I want to make them understand that we’re just trying to help them.

27．第四段开头提到：“At first, they look at us with frightened (害怕的) eyes.”，结合上下文，这里描述的是动物刚见到人时的反应，随后提到“If an animal is too frightened...”，因此“they”指代的是前文提到的那些需要照顾的动物（the animals）。

Cooking is a very important life skill. Not all of us are talented cooks, but with the right training we can learn how to prepare healthy and tasty meals. The Little Kitchen Academy (小厨房学院) can teach young children how to cook by themselves.
In a three-hour class, children learn real-life cooking skills and something about nutrition (营养学). “They’re learning to know where their food comes from, what their food can do for them and how to create healthier eating habits to last a lifetime,” said Brian Curin, CEO of the Little Kitchen Academy.
“When we look at childhood obesity (肥胖) when we look at the unhealthy eating habits and their relationship with food, we realized this was something really necessary,” said Curin.
Health always matters, but another important purpose of the class is to show the kids they can be independent. “It’s probably the first time that they have done an activity without their parents’ help,” said Avery Fletcher, director (董事) of the Little Kitchen Academy. “And to really see them make their own choices, discover their interests, try something new and succeed is really encouraging.”
Right now there are classes only available for children from 3 to 18. There are plans to open the Little Kitchen Academy in even more places.
30．The Little Kitchen Academy is a place that ________.
A．trains parents to cook for their children B．helps children to discover their talents
C．asks children to lose much weight D．teaches young children to cook meals
31．What can children learn in the class according to Curin
①Where the food comes from.
②How the food influences (影响) them.
③How they can develop healthy eating habits.
④Why cooking skills are important.
A．①③④ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①②③
32．What can we know from Paragraph 4
A．The children can learn to be more independent.
B．It is helpful for children to learn about nutrition.
C．The children’s life in the academy will be easy.
D．Some children are unhealthy because of their bad eating habits.
33．What is the structure (结构) of the passage
A． B． C． D．
【答案】30．D 31．D 32．A 33．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了一所教孩子们做饭的烹饪学院——小厨房学院，孩子们可以在这里学习各种烹饪技术以及有关营养学的知识，目前，该学院的课程仅对3到18岁的孩子们开放。
30．细节理解题。 根据第一段“The Little Kitchen Academy (小厨房学院) can teach young children how to cook by themselves.”可知，小厨房学院是一个教孩子们做饭的地方。 故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They’re learning to know where their food comes from, what their food can do for them and how to create healthier eating habits to last a lifetime”可知，在课上，孩子们能学到食物来自哪里、食物是如何影响他们的以及如何养成健康的饮食习惯。故选D。
32．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Health always matters, but another important purpose of the class is to show the kids they can be independent.”及“And to really see them make their own choices, discover their interests, try something new and succeed is really encouraging.”可知，孩子们可以学会更加独立。故选A。
33．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段总体介绍了小厨房学院开办的目的；第二、三、 四段分别借用Brian Curin和Avery Fletcher的话介绍了孩子们在学院能够得到的成长；最后一段介绍了课程面向的人群以及下一步的计划。因此本文是“总—分—总”结构。故选A。
D
Paper is one of our oldest and most important inventions. But it’s also a danger to the world in two ways.
First, the making of paper needs lots of trees each year. The world has lost nearly 100 million hectares (公顷) of forests in the past twenty years, and it’s going on, though at a slower pace than before, a UN agency reported. ★ , 42% went to paper making. And worldwide use of paper will double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the earth cannot sustain (维持) such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A lot of waste paper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can give off harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane (甲烷), a gas that leads to global warming.
We have a simple way to solve the two problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Cellulose can be used repeatedly in paper making. So far, trees have been the only thing that can meet the great need for paper making. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to modern technology, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored thing that many of us are familiar with anymore. It can now offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper. Effective (高效的) recycling needs a continuous effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling work can be carried out. The loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage the government and industries to do the same.
34．In which pictures can we see the right ways to ensure there will be enough paper in the future
a.b.c.d.
A．a, d B．a, c C．b, c D．b, d
35．Which of the following can be put in ★
A．Though people know the importance B．If we don’t plant trees
C．During the years D．Of the trees that were cut down
36．What question does the last paragraph answer
A．What is recycling B．How can we save trees
C．How can we recycle paper effectively D．What can the government do to save paper
【答案】34．A 35．D 36．C
【导语】本文主要讨论了造纸对森林资源的消耗以及废纸处理对环境的影响，并提出了纸张回收作为解决方案。
34．文章提出解决纸张相关的两个问题、保证未来纸张供应的正确方法是回收废纸再利用。四幅图中：a是植树、d是纸张回收加工，都是正确方法；b是砍伐树木、c是废纸填埋，都是错误方式。
35．前文提到“The world has lost nearly 100 million hectares (公顷) of forests in the past twenty years”，后文说“42% went to paper making”，说明此处是在说被砍伐树木的用途相关内容，“Of the trees that were cut down”（在被砍伐的树木中）符合语境，能衔接上下文，表明在被砍伐的树木里有42%用于造纸。
36．最后一段提到“Effective (高效的) recycling needs a continuous effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling work can be carried out.”，主要围绕如何才能有效地进行纸张回收展开，先说明有效回收需要持续努力，接着讲开始的途径是教育和理解，最后说足够的人意识到回收的必要性就能开展更有效的回收工作，所以回答的是“How can we recycle paper effectively ”（我们如何才能有效地回收纸张？）这个问题。
四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分)
Recently, we’ve interviewed a few parents. We’ve asked them how children of today are different from those of the past. Here are the replies from two of them.
Janet: I think the biggest difference between my childhood and the present is today’s lack of time: time to explore and time to be a child. 37
When I was a child, we were outside, climbing trees, building houses with sand and playing from day to night. 38
They spend huge amounts of time in front of TV, or a computer or a mobile phone. I worry about how modern children can have a love for nature and animals. They spend so little time getting close to them. That seems terrible for kids these days.
Esther: 39
In my free time, we could only read about different countries and their cultures through books. And we even didn’t have enough books to read. Now, there are not only a large number of traditional paper books but also all kinds of digital media. 40
Kids also have the chance to travel around to experience the world in person and open their eyes to other cultures.
A．But modern kids often stay inside.
B．We discussed a lot about kids’ problems on that day.
C．Reading helped me learn about the world a lot.
D．All of these can offer kids more knowledge about the world.
E．In my opinion, children nowadays have more ways to see and experience the world.
F．These two things are so important because they are the heart of what being a kid is all about.
【答案】37．F 38．A 39．E 40．D
【导语】本文是两位家长就“过去与现在的孩子有何不同”这一问题发表的观点。
37．前句提到“探索的时间和做孩子的时间”是童年的关键，选项F中的“这两件事” 指代的正是前句的“time to explore and time to be a child”，解释了它们对童年的重要性，衔接自然。
38．前句描述了“过去的孩子在户外玩耍”，后句转而描述“现在的孩子花大量时间在电视、电脑前”，前后形成对比。选项A“但现在的孩子常常待在室内”起到了转折过渡的作用，引出下文。
39．这是Esther发言的开头，后文讲述了过去和现在孩子了解世界的方式差异。选项E“在我看来，如今的孩子有更多方式去了解和体验世界”作为总起句，概括了她的观点。
40．前句提到了“传统纸质书和各种数字媒体”，选项D中的“所有这些”指代这些资源，并说明它们都能为孩子提供更多关于世界的知识，承接上文。
五、阅读短文，回答问题。（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分）
Chaka Salt Lake (茶卡盐湖) lies in Qinghai Province, China. It sits at an altitude (海拔) of about 3,100 metres and covers an area of about 105 square kilometres. It is rich in salt with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source (来源) of salt in our country. When the weather is clear, the lake offers beautiful reflections (倒影) of the blue sky. That is why people call it the “sky mirror (天空之镜)”.
Because of its wonderful views, the lake is seen as one of the “must-visit” places in China. The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive. Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd to Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts till the end of August, because they just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for lungs. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful:
*The salt in the lake can’t be eaten directly.
*Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunshine.
*You may want to take quite a few photos, so you’d better take your camera with you.
*Prepare some medicine beforehand so that you can deal with altitude sickness in time.
Travelling to such a beautiful world of salt with snowy mountains and green grass around, you will feel like you are in a fairyland. But you also need to protect the natural beauty while enjoying it.
前3题每题答案不超过10个词，第4题答案词数不限

【导语】本文介绍了茶卡盐湖的地理位置、特点、最佳旅游时间以及给游客的旅行建议。
【详解】41．第三段给出了四条旅行提示：盐不能直接食用、戴太阳镜和帽子、带上相机、提前准备药物应对高原反应，因此答案是Four。
42．第二段提到茶卡盐湖因其美景被视为中国的必游之地“Because of its wonderful views, the lake is seen as one of the ‘must-visit’ places”，因此答案是Its wonderful views。
43．第二段提到每年7月大量游客开始涌入茶卡盐湖，这种情况通常会持续到8月底，因此最佳旅游时间是7月到8月底“Every July...lasts till the end of August”，答案是From July to the end of August。
44．开放题，答案不唯一。需结合茶卡盐湖的美景和文中提到的保护要求，表达自己的看法并提出保护建议，合理即可。
六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you like travelling around the world For many people, visiting famous landmarks in person is a dream, but it can be expensive and tiring. Luckily, online tours 45 (become) popular recently, and they offer us a chance 46 (explore) the world at home. Last week, I took 47 online tour of the Louvre Museum, which is in the heart of Paris. The tour started with a short 48 (introduce) about the museum’s history — it was once a palace for the French queen before it became a museum.
During the tour, I could zoom in to see the rich collection of the museum. 49 , I could see all the artworks very clearly, from famous paintings to ancient sculptures. It was so immersive (沉浸式的) that I felt like I 50 (walk) around the museum in person. The best part was that I could learn about the stories behind each artwork 51 (complete) without rushing. This online tour also showed me some 52 (history) cities and places around the world, from Xi’an in China to Machu Picchu in Peru. It had a bit of everything, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Some people prefer real travel because they think it’s 53 (interesting) than online tours. But I think online tours are a fantastic experience too. Whether you are busy 54 your studies or don’t have enough money, online tours can help you see the world easily. You don’t need to take your wallet or make a travelling list — just a computer or a phone is enough.
【答案】
45．have become 46．to explore 47．an 48．introduction 49．Besides/Also 50．was walking 51．completely 52．historical 53．more interesting 54．with
【导语】本文讲述了在线旅游这一新兴方式及其带来的体验与优势。
45．句意：幸运的是，在线旅游最近变得流行起来，它们给我们提供了一个在家探索世界的机会。根据“recently”可知，此处使用现在完成时，结构为have/has done，主语online tours为复数，使用助动词have，become的过去分词为become。

Cooking is a very important life skill. Not all of us are talented cooks, but with the right training we can learn how to prepare healthy and tasty meals. The Little Kitchen Academy (小厨房学院) can teach young children how to cook by themselves.
In a three-hour class, children learn real-life cooking skills and something about nutrition (营养学). “They’re learning to know where their food comes from, what their food can do for them and how to create healthier eating habits to last a lifetime,” said Brian Curin, CEO of the Little Kitchen Academy.
“When we look at childhood obesity (肥胖) when we look at the unhealthy eating habits and their relationship with food, we realized this was something really necessary,” said Curin.
Health always matters, but another important purpose of the class is to show the kids they can be independent. “It’s probably the first time that they have done an activity without their parents’ help,” said Avery Fletcher, director (董事) of the Little Kitchen Academy. “And to really see them make their own choices, discover their interests, try something new and succeed is really encouraging.”
Right now there are classes only available for children from 3 to 18. There are plans to open the Little Kitchen Academy in even more places.
30．The Little Kitchen Academy is a place that ________.
A．trains parents to cook for their children B．helps children to discover their talents

C．The children’s life in the academy will be easy.
D．Some children are unhealthy because of their bad eating habits.

A． B．
C． D．

Paper is one of our oldest and most important inventions. But it’s also a danger to the world in two ways.
First, the making of paper needs lots of trees each year. The world has lost nearly 100 million hectares (公顷) of forests in the past twenty years, and it’s going on, though at a slower pace than before, a UN agency reported. ★ , 42% went to paper making. And worldwide use of paper will double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the earth cannot sustain (维持) such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A lot of waste paper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can give off harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane (甲烷), a gas that leads to global warming.
We have a simple way to solve the two problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Cellulose can be used repeatedly in paper making. So far, trees have been the only thing that can meet the great need for paper making. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to modern technology, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored thing that many of us are familiar with anymore. It can now offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper. Effective (高效的) recycling needs a continuous effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling work can be carried out. The loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage the government and industries to do the same.
34．In which pictures can we see the right ways to ensure there will be enough paper in the future
a.b.c.d.
A．a, d B．a, c C．b, c D．b, d
35．Which of the following can be put in ★
A．Though people know the importance B．If we don’t plant trees
C．During the years D．Of the trees that were cut down
36．What question does the last paragraph answer
A．What is recycling B．How can we save trees
C．How can we recycle paper effectively D．What can the government do to save paper
四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分)
Recently, we’ve interviewed a few parents. We’ve asked them how children of today are different from those of the past. Here are the replies from two of them.
Janet: I think the biggest difference between my childhood and the present is today’s lack of time: time to explore and time to be a child. 37
When I was a child, we were outside, climbing trees, building houses with sand and playing from day to night. 38
They spend huge amounts of time in front of TV, or a computer or a mobile phone. I worry about how modern children can have a love for nature and animals. They spend so little time getting close to them. That seems terrible for kids these days.
Esther: 39
In my free time, we could only read about different countries and their cultures through books. And we even didn’t have enough books to read. Now, there are not only a large number of traditional paper books but also all kinds of digital media. 40

五、阅读短文，回答问题。（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分）
Chaka Salt Lake (茶卡盐湖) lies in Qinghai Province, China. It sits at an altitude (海拔) of about 3,100 metres and covers an area of about 105 square kilometres. It is rich in salt with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source (来源) of salt in our country. When the weather is clear, the lake offers beautiful reflections (倒影) of the blue sky. That is why people call it the “sky mirror (天空之镜)”.
Because of its wonderful views, the lake is seen as one of the “must-visit” places in China. The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive. Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd to Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts till the end of August, because they just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for lungs. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful:
*The salt in the lake can’t be eaten directly.
*Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunshine.
*You may want to take quite a few photos, so you’d better take your camera with you.
*Prepare some medicine beforehand so that you can deal with altitude sickness in time.
Travelling to such a beautiful world of salt with snowy mountains and green grass around, you will feel like you are in a fairyland. But you also need to protect the natural beauty while enjoying it.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you like travelling around the world For many people, visiting famous landmarks in person is a dream, but it can be expensive and tiring. Luckily, online tours 45 (become) popular recently, and they offer us a chance 46 (explore) the world at home. Last week, I took 47 online tour of the Louvre Museum, which is in the heart of Paris. The tour started with a short 48 (introduce) about the museum’s history — it was once a palace for the French queen before it became a museum.
During the tour, I could zoom in to see the rich collection of the museum. 49 , I could see all the artworks very clearly, from famous paintings to ancient sculptures. It was so immersive (沉浸式的) that I felt like I 50 (walk) around the museum in person. The best part was that I could learn about the stories behind each artwork 51 (complete) without rushing. This online tour also showed me some 52 (history) cities and places around the world, from Xi’an in China to Machu Picchu in Peru. It had a bit of everything, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Some people prefer real travel because they think it’s 53 (interesting) than online tours. But I think online tours are a fantastic experience too. Whether you are busy 54 your studies or don’t have enough money, online tours can help you see the world easily. You don’t need to take your wallet or make a travelling list — just a computer or a phone is enough.
