第一部分　听力部分
一、听力测试（共三节，满分25分）
第一节（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）
听下面5个问题。每个问题后有三个答语，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每个问题后，你都有5秒钟的时间来作答和阅读下一小题。每个问题仅读一遍。
1. A. It's Mary's. B. It's next to the bank. C. It's eight o'clock.
【1】【答案】B
【解析】原文问句为 “Excuse me, where is the nearest subway station ”，where 询问地点，答语须回答位置。B 项 “It’s next to the bank.”（就在银行旁边）正好说明位置；A 项回答归属（是玛丽的），C 项回答时间（八点了），均答非所问。
【考点分析】考查特殊疑问句与答语的匹配。听清疑问词是第一步，where 找地点类答语，who 找人称类答语，when 找时间类答语。
2. A. My uncle did. B. For two years. C. In the music room.
【2】【答案】A
【解析】问句 “who taught you to play the guitar ” 询问“谁教你”，A 项 “My uncle did.” 用 did 替代 taught，回答的是人物，与问句对应。B 项 “For two years.” 回答时长，C 项 “In the music room.” 回答地点。
【考点分析】考查 who 引导的特殊疑问句及助动词 did 的简略回答，同时辨析时间、地点答语。
3. A. With my classmates. B. By bus. C. This Saturday morning.
【3】【答案】C
【解析】问句 “when are you going to the Science Museum ” 询问时间，C 项 “This Saturday morning.” 表示时间。A 项 “With my classmates.” 表示同去的人，B 项 “By bus.” 表示交通方式。
【考点分析】考查 when 问句的应答。要分清“时间、方式、陪伴对象”三类状语，避免被 by bus、with sb. 干扰。
4. A. Two kilometres. B. About twenty minutes. C. Twice a week.
【4】【答案】B
【解析】问句 “how long does it take you to get to school ” 中的 how long 询问“花多长时间”，B 项 “About twenty minutes.” 回答时长。A 项 “Two kilometres.” 是距离，C 项 “Twice a week.” 是频率。
【考点分析】考查 how long（时长）、how far（距离）、how often（频率）的辨析与对应答语。
5. A. Good idea. B. You're welcome. C. Never e in, please.
【5】【答案】C
【解析】说话人说 “I’m sorry I’m late. The traffic was terrible.”，是在为迟到道歉，最恰当的回应是 C 项 “Never e in, please.”（没关系，请进）。A 项 Good idea 用于赞同建议，B 项 You’re welcome 用于回应感谢。
【考点分析】考查道歉与应答的交际用语，属“语境反应”题，要先判断说话人的言语功能（道歉、感谢、建议、请求）。
第二节（共7小题，每小题1分，满分7分）
听下面7段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来作答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。
6. Where does the conversation probably take place
A. In a bookstore. B. In a hospital. C. In a library.
【6】【答案】A
【解析】录音中 “How much is this English dictionary 40 yuan. Okay, I’ll take it.” 是在询价并买下字典，最可能发生在书店。医院、图书馆都不买卖书籍。
【考点分析】考查地点推断。抓 dictionary、take it、yuan 等场景词，由“买书付款”推断书店。
7. How much will the woman pay
A. 30 yuan. B. 60 yuan. C. 120 yuan.
【7】【答案】B
【解析】录音原文 “two student tickets, 60 yuan for an adult and students pay half.” 成人票 60 元，学生半价 30 元，两张学生票为 30×2＝60 元。
【考点分析】考查数字计算。要听清单价、数量、折扣三要素，注意 half（半价）这类隐含运算的词。
8. Why does Tom look tired
A. He was ill. B. He stayed up late. C. He got up early.
【8】【答案】B
【解析】录音中 Tom 回答 “I stayed up till midnight to finish my book report.”，熬夜到半夜才是他疲惫的原因。A 项生病、C 项早起，原文均未提及。
【考点分析】考查原因推断。Why 问句的答案多出现在 because、stayed up、so 等因果表达中。
9. When does the school bus leave on Fridays
A. At 6:50. B. At 7:00. C. At 7:10.
【9】【答案】C
【解析】原文 “the notice says the school bus leaves at 7, but on Fridays it’s 10 minutes later.” 平时 7:00 发车，周五晚 10 分钟，即 7:10。
【考点分析】考查时间推算。注意 but 与比较级 later 带来的信息修正，不能直接用第一个时间作答。
10. When will they go to the library
A. Tomorrow afternoon. B. This afternoon. C. Tomorrow morning.
【10】【答案】C
【解析】对话中一人说 “Are you free this afternoon Let’s go to the library.”，另一人回答要照顾弟弟，并提出 “How about tomorrow morning ” 对方接受，故最终时间为明天上午。A 项明天下午是干扰。
【考点分析】考查时间细节与“改约”理解。凡是出现 How about… 的对话，答案往往以改约后的时间为准。
11. What will the girl do for the festival
A. Clean the house. B. Make mooncakes. C. Buy some flowers.
【11】【答案】B
【解析】女孩说 “the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I’m going to make moon cakes with my grandma.”，她要和奶奶一起做月饼。
【考点分析】考查动作细节。抓住 be going to 后的动词短语，区分打扫房子、买花等干扰项。
12. Where does the man want to go
A. The reading room. B. The second door. C. The lab.
【12】【答案】A
【解析】男士说 “could you tell me where the reading room is ”，他想去的是阅览室；答语中的 “turn left at the second door”“It’s next to the lab” 只是方位提示。
【考点分析】考查目的地与参照物的区分。问“想去哪里”看问句目标，不要被回答中的 second door、lab 误导。
第三节（共13小题，每小题1分，满分13分）
听下面4段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。
听下面一段对话，回答第13至15三个小题。
13. How did Ben prepare for the contest
A. By reading aloud every morning.
B. By taking notes in class.
C. By watching videos and repeating.
【13】【答案】C
【解析】Ben 回答 “I watched short videos and repeated after the speakers.”，即通过看短视频并跟读来准备比赛。A 项每天早上大声朗读、B 项课上记笔记，原文均未提及。
【考点分析】考查方式细节。How 问句的答案常用 by doing 或动词短语表达，要注意同义转换。
14. What does Ben advise the girl to do
A. Write words again and again.
B. Make word cards and use them in sentences.
C. Join the speech contest.
【14】【答案】B
【解析】Ben 给出的建议是 “Maybe you can try making word cards and using them in sentences.”，即做单词卡片并把单词用在句子里。A 项抄写单词正是女孩已经在做且无效的方法。
【考点分析】考查建议细节。听到 advise、try、why not 等词后要紧跟其后内容；同时排除原文中被否定的做法。
15. When does the English club meet
A. At 4:30 on Thursday. B. At 5:30 on Thursday. C. At 4:30 on Tuesday.
【15】【答案】A
【解析】原文 “Every Thursday at 4:30 in Room 302.”，英语俱乐部每周四 4:30 活动，故选 A。B 项 5:30、C 项 Tuesday 均为干扰。
【考点分析】考查时间细节。星期与钟点两个信息要同时听全，注意区分 Thursday 与 Tuesday。
听下面一段对话，回答第16至18三个小题。
16. What did Maria use to look like
A. She was very tall. B. She wore glasses. C. She had long hair.
【16】【答案】C
【解析】Maria 说 “I used to have long hair, but now I keep it short.”，她过去留长发。A 项很高、B 项戴眼镜，原文均未提及。
【考点分析】考查 used to 表达“过去常常/曾经”，题干问 “use to look like” 要与 but now 后的现状区分。
17. How often did Maria use to practise the piano
A. Never. B. Every day. C. Twice a week.
【17】【答案】B
【解析】Maria 说 “I used to practice every day, but now I spend most of my free time in the pool.”，过去每天练琴，现在很少练。
【考点分析】考查频率细节。every day、twice a week、never 三类频率词要听清，注意今昔对比。
18. What can we learn about Maria
A. She is on the school swim team.
B. She doesn't like swimming.
C. She still plays the piano every day.
【18】【答案】A
【解析】Maria 说 “I joined the school swim team last year and I love it now.”，她现在在校游泳队。B 项“她不喜欢游泳”与原文相反（她以前怕水，现在很喜欢）；C 项“仍每天弹琴”与 not often 矛盾。
【考点分析】考查推断题。要把每个选项回原文核对，凡与原文相反或绝对化的选项都要排除。
听下面一段对话，回答第19至21三个小题。
19. Where is the ticket office
A. Next to the science hall. B. On the first floor. C. On the second floor.
【19】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “The ticket office is on the first floor next to the gift shop.”，售票处在一楼、紧邻礼品店，故选 B（On the first floor）。A 项把参照物换成 “next to the science hall”，属张冠李戴，原文所说的是紧邻礼品店。
【考点分析】考查地点细节。警惕“半对半错”的选项：楼层信息与参照物必须同时与原文一致。
20. How long does the science show last
A. 15 minutes. B. 45 minutes. C. One hour.
【20】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “It starts at 2 in the afternoon and lasts about 45 minutes.”，演出持续约 45 分钟。A 项 15 分钟是建议提前到场的时间。
【考点分析】考查时长细节。区分“活动本身的时长”与“提前量”，两者相邻出现时极易混听。
21. What can we learn from the conversation
A. Photos are not allowed in the show.
B. The show begins at 2:15.
C. The woman works in the museum.
【21】【答案】A
【解析】问 “Is it alright to take photos inside ”，回答 “I’m afraid not.”，即展厅内不能拍照，A 项正确。B 项演出 2:00 开始而非 2:15（2:15 是建议到场时间）；C 项“女士在博物馆工作”无依据。
【考点分析】考查细节判断。三个选项须逐一回原文核对，注意时间与身份的偷换。
听下面一段独白，回答第22至25四个小题。
22. What is the talk mainly about
A. How to join the science club.
B. A school trip to Wuhan University.
C. Activities for Science Week.
【22】【答案】C
【解析】独白开头即点明 “Next week is our school science week, and here is what you need to know.”，随后依次介绍讲座、模型比赛、参观博物馆等活动安排，主旨是科学周的各项活动。
【考点分析】考查主旨大意。抓首句主题句，再用全文内容印证，避免以偏概全。
23. When will Dr. Liu give the talk
A. On Friday morning. B. On Monday afternoon. C. On Wednesday morning.
【23】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “On Monday, Dr Lou from Wuhan University will give a talk about AI… at 3 in the afternoon.”，即周一下午。A 项周五上午是参观博物馆，C 项周三上午是模型比赛。
【考点分析】考查时间细节。星期与上午/下午组合信息要整体听取，防止把不同活动的信息错配。
24. What should the models be made of
A. Used materials. B. Wood from the lab. C. New plastic.
【24】【答案】A
【解析】原文 “your models should be made of used materials like paper boxes and plastic bottles.”，模型须用废旧材料制作。
【考点分析】考查材料细节，同时复习 be made of 表“由……制成（看得出原材料）”。
25. What does the speaker remind the students to do on Friday
A. Call Mr. Wang before noon.
B. Bring their models to Room 205.
C. Bring lunch and wear school uniforms.
【25】【答案】C
【解析】原文 “On Friday, we will visit the Science Museum… Remember to bring your lunch and wear your school uniform.”，周五要自带午餐并穿校服。B 项周三前把模型送到 205 室；A 项电话是咨询方式，时间也非“周五前”。
【考点分析】考查细节判断题。注意时间状语限定，把各项要求与对应日期一一挂钩。
第二部分　笔试部分
二、选择填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
26. —You're going to give a talk in English at the school meeting, right
—Yes. I'm a little nervous, but I'll take it as a ______ to improve myself.
A. problem B. chance C. habit D. rule
【26】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“我有点紧张，但我会把它当作提升自己的机会”。take it as a chance to improve myself 意为“把这当作一个提升自我的机会”，chance 与 improve 搭配自然。problem（问题）、habit（习惯）、rule（规则）均不合语境。
【考点分析】考查名词词义辨析。解题抓两条线索：一是 take…as a… 的结构，二是 improve myself 所提示的积极语义。
27. —Why do you draw little pictures next to the new words
—Because it helps me ______ what I learn ______ something I enjoy.
A. deal; with B. agree; with C. compare; to D. connect; with
【27】【答案】D
【解析】句意为“因为这能帮助我把所学的东西和我喜欢的事物联系起来”。connect A with B 表示“把 A 与 B 联系起来”，与 what I learn、something I enjoy 两个宾语完全吻合。deal with（处理）、agree with（同意某人）、compare…to（把……比作）均不符合。
【考点分析】考查动词短语辨析。答题要先看空格两侧的宾语搭配：既有“所学内容”又有“喜欢的事物”，只有 connect…with 能同时带这两个宾语。
28. —The old street has changed so much.
—Yes, but it's still a ______ place for me. I grew up there.
A. special B. silent C. terrible D. strange
【28】【答案】A
【解析】答句后文 “I grew up there.” 说明这条老街对说话人有特殊意义，故用 special（特别的）。silent（安静的）、terrible（糟糕的）、strange（奇怪的）都缺少感彩上的依据。
【考点分析】考查形容词辨析。上下文线索是判断的关键：grew up there 直接暗示“有特殊感情”。
29. —Your dad looks much healthier than before.
—Yes. He ______ stay up late, but now he goes to bed before eleven.
A. was used to B. uses to C. used to D. is used to
【29】【答案】C
【解析】句意为“他过去常常熬夜，但现在十一点前就睡了”。used to do sth. 表示“过去常常做某事”，与 but now 的今昔对比完全对应。be used to 后接名词或 doing（习惯于），B 项 uses to 无此形式。
【考点分析】考查 used to do / be used to doing 的辨析。看到 but now、than before 等今昔对比标志，优先考虑 used to do。
30. —Excuse me, could you tell me ______
—Sure. Go along this road and turn left at the second crossing.
A. when does the post office open B. where the post office is
C. where is the post office D. how can I get to the post office
【30】【答案】B
【解析】答语 “Go along this road and turn left at the second crossing.” 回答的是“怎么走/在哪里”，故宾语从句用 where，且从句必须用陈述语序：where the post office is。A 项语序正确但用 when 与答语不符；C、D 项均为疑问语序，语序错误。
【考点分析】考查宾语从句。两个判断点：①连接词由答语内容决定；②从句一律用陈述语序，这是本题最大的陷阱。
31. —This kind of paper ______ wood, so using less of it saves trees.
—I see. I'll use both sides of the paper.
A. is made from B. is made in C. is made by D. is made of
【31】【答案】A
【解析】句意为“这种纸是用木材制成的，所以少用纸能拯救树木”。纸由木材制成且已看不出原材料，用 be made from；be made of 指看得出原材料，be made in 后接地点，be made by 后接制作者。
【考点分析】考查 be made from / of / in / by 的辨析。核心是“能否看出原材料”与“后接成分类型”。
32. —______ wonderful the dragon boat race was!
—Yes. I've never seen anything like it.
A. How a B. What C. What a D. How
【32】【答案】D
【解析】感叹句的中心词是形容词 wonderful，应用 How 引导：How wonderful the dragon boat race was!（龙舟赛多么精彩啊！）。若用 What，则须接名词短语，如 What a wonderful race it was!。A 项 How a 结构错误，B、C 项均缺名词。
【考点分析】考查感叹句。口诀：How 修饰形容词或副词，What 修饰名词；先找感叹的中心词，再定引导词。
33. —I'm going to join the English club ______ I'm a little shy.
—Come on! You'll make new friends there.
A. unless B. because C. although D. so
【33】【答案】C
【解析】句意为“虽然我有点害羞，但我还是打算加入英语俱乐部”。前后为让步关系，用 although（虽然）。unless（除非）、because（因为）、so（所以）都不能表达“虽然……但是……”的逻辑。
【考点分析】考查连词与状语从句。判断依据是前后分句的逻辑关系：转折让步用 although/though，条件用 unless。
34. —I'm sorry I can't go to the science museum with you tomorrow.
—______ I can go by myself.
A. Never mind. B. You're welcome. C. Good luck. D. That's a pity.
【34】【答案】A
【解析】对方说不能同去，说话人回应 “I can go by myself.”（我可以自己去），最得体的应答是 Never mind.（没关系）。B 项 You’re welcome 回应感谢；C 项 Good luck 祝好运；D 项 That’s a pity 表示遗憾，与“我自己去”的轻松语气不搭。
【考点分析】考查交际用语。要同时看对方的“致歉”与自己的“解决办法”，Never mind 兼具“不介意、没关系”的功能。
35. —Which do you like ______, the blue shirt or the white one
—The white one. It goes well with my jeans.
A. well B. better C. best D. the best
【35】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“蓝色衬衫和白色衬衫，你更喜欢哪一件？”，两者比较用比较级 better。well 是原级，best 是三者以上的最高级，与 “the blue shirt or the white one” 不符。
【考点分析】考查形容词、副词的比较等级。题眼是 “A or B” 结构——二者相比用比较级，三者以上才用最高级。
三、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Angela is a 16-year-old student from Mexico. One evening, she watched a video online. In it, a fire was put out by sound, with no water and no foam (泡沫). Angela was ____36____. She had never heard of such a thing before. Most fire extinguishers (灭火器) leave a mess behind, and the mess can ____37____ computers and old books. “What if we fight fire with sound ” she thought.
The idea is simple. Low sounds make waves of air, and the waves push the oxygen away, so the fire ____38____. But building the machine was not ____39____. Her first model was as big as a desk and could work for only a few seconds. “I failed many times,” she said. “But every failure ____40____ me something new.”
Angela needed a battery, a generator and a loudspeaker. She got ____41____ from an old radio in the school lab. She also added a heat sensor, so the machine could find a fire and start working ____42____. After five models, she finally had one that was small enough to carry in a school bag. It puts out a small fire in seconds and leaves nothing behind—no water, no foam, no powder.
Angela kept improving her machine ____43____ it became smaller and lighter. In October 2026, she took it to a science competition in Indonesia. Among 110 projects from 25 countries, hers won the gold medal. “I never ____44____ to stand on that stage,” she said. “I just wanted to solve a small problem in my daily life.”
Angela knows the machine is not yet ____45____ for big fires. ____46____, she believes it will be useful in labs and libraries, where water and foam may do more ____47____ than the fire itself.
Her next step is to make the machine cheaper. She hopes it will be ____48____ in every school lab one day. “A big ____49____ always starts with a small question,” she says. And her story ____50____ us all to look at the world with curious eyes.
36. A. relaxed B. lucky C. shocked D. bored
【36】【答案】C
【解析】前文说“火被声音扑灭，没有水也没有泡沫”，紧接着 “She had never heard of such a thing before.”，说明安吉拉感到震惊，故选 shocked。relaxed（放松）、lucky（幸运）、bored（厌烦）都与“从未听说过这种事”的反应不符。
【考点分析】考查形容词与情绪推断。依据是紧随其后的解释句，属于“后文印证前文”的典型复现线索。
37. A. clean B. damage C. protect D. test
【37】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“大多数灭火器会留下脏乱，而这些残留物会损坏电脑和旧书”。damage（损坏）与 computers、old books 构成合理搭配。clean（清洁）、protect（保护）与“留下 mess（脏乱）”逻辑相反，test（测试）不合语境。
【考点分析】考查动词辨析。先确定分句间是“因果/顺承”关系：灭火器留脏乱→对物品造成损害。
38. A. runs out B. gives up C. breaks down D. dies out
【38】【答案】D
【解析】原理是“低频声波推动空气，把氧气推开，火便熄灭了”。die out 指（火）熄灭，符合语境。run out（用完）、give up（放弃）、break down（出故障）都不能描述火的状态。
【考点分析】考查动词短语。注意 die out 在此意为“熄灭、消失”，要与 die of/from 区分。
39. A. easy B. slow C. safe D. cheap
【39】【答案】A
【解析】由 “But building the machine was not ____. Her first model was as big as a desk and could work for only a few seconds.” 可知造机器并不容易：体型大、只能工作几秒、还失败多次。slow、safe、cheap 与该段所强调的“困难”无关。
【考点分析】考查形容词与转折逻辑。But 之后往往是对前文“想法简单”的反转，应填与 simple 相对的 easy。
40. A. brought B. taught C. lent D. passed
【40】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“每一次失败都教给我新东西”。teach sb. sth. 表示“教给某人某事”，与 something new 搭配最自然。brought（带来）、lent（借出）、passed（传递）都不能表达“从失败中学到经验”的含义。
【考点分析】考查动词搭配与语义。要抓住“failure→学到新东西”这一经验总结的语境。
41. A. him B. us C. them D. it
【41】【答案】C
【解析】前文列举了三样材料 “a battery, a generator and a loudspeaker.”，是复数概念，故用 them 指代。him 指人，us 指“我们”，it 指单数，均不符合。
【考点分析】考查代词指代。做代词题先找指代对象，再看单复数：三样物品→复数 them。
42. A. automatically B. carefully C. slowly D. silently
【42】【答案】A
【解析】句意为“她还装了热传感器，这样机器就能发现火情并自动开始工作”。automatically（自动地）与 heat sensor（热传感器）的功能逻辑完全吻合。carefully、slowly、silently 都无法体现“传感器触发自动启动”。
【考点分析】考查副词与逻辑推断。由“加装传感器”这一动作可推出“自动”这一结果。
43. A. because B. if C. though D. until
【43】【答案】D
【解析】句意为“安吉拉不断改进机器，直到它变得更小更轻”。until 表示“直到……为止”，与 kept improving 的持续过程匹配。because（因为）、if（如果）、though（虽然）都不能表示“持续到某一结果出现”。
【考点分析】考查连词。kept doing… until… 是“持续做到某结果出现”的固定逻辑，注意与前文 After five models 的时间推进呼应。
44. A. promised B. expected C. refused D. hurried
【44】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“我从没料想到自己能站上那个领奖台”。expect to do sth. 表示“期望/料想做某事”，never expected 与“意外获奖”的心情一致。promised（承诺）、refused（拒绝）、hurried（匆忙）语义不符。
【考点分析】考查动词辨析与语境。结合 “I just wanted to solve a small problem” 可知她起初并未抱有获奖的期待。
45. A. ready B. famous C. sorry D. late
【45】【答案】A
【解析】句意为“安吉拉知道这台机器还不能用于大火”。be ready for sth. 表示“为……做好准备、可以胜任”，not yet ready for big fires 即“还不能应对大火”。famous、sorry、late 均不合逻辑。
【考点分析】考查形容词短语 be ready for。要与 be ready to do 一并掌握，并根据后文 “useful in labs and libraries” 的“小范围适用”信息确定答案。
46. A. Otherwise B. Suddenly C. However D. Instead
【46】【答案】C
【解析】前句说她清楚机器还不能用于大火，后句说“她相信它在实验室和图书馆会有用”，两者是转折关系，用 However。Otherwise（否则）、Suddenly（突然）、Instead（相反）都不能连接这两个并列评价。
【考点分析】考查副词（连接性状语）的篇章功能。判断依据是前后句的语义走向：局限→但仍有用。
47. A. good B. work C. noise D. harm
【47】【答案】D
【解析】句意为“在实验室和图书馆，水和泡沫造成的损害可能比火本身更大”。do harm 意为“造成危害”，与 more…than the fire itself 的比较结构吻合。good、work、noise 均不能与 do more ____ than 搭配出“危害”之意。
【考点分析】考查名词与固定搭配 do harm（造成损害）。同时要理解本句是对“为什么需要声波灭火”的进一步论证。
48. A. to use B. used C. using D. use
【48】【答案】B
【解析】句意为“她希望有一天它能在每个学校实验室里被使用”。此处是情态动词 will 后的被动语态 will be used，故用过去分词 used。to use、using、use 均不能构成被动结构。
【考点分析】考查被动语态。看到 “will be + 过去分词” 的结构，先判断主语与动词是被动关系（机器被使用）。
49. A. decision B. problem C. change D. mistake
【49】【答案】C
【解析】句意为“大的改变总是始于一个小问题”，与全文“从小问题出发做出大发明”的主旨一致，change 最能概括。decision（决定）、problem（问题）、mistake（错误）中，problem 与 small question 语义重复，且不能与 big 构成“质变”之意。
【考点分析】考查名词与主旨呼应。结尾句往往点题，要选能与全文主题（小问题带来大改变）匹配的词。
50. A. warns B. allows C. orders D. encourages
【50】【答案】D
【解析】句意为“她的故事鼓励我们所有人用好奇的眼光看世界”。encourage sb. to do sth. 表示“鼓励某人做某事”，与全文积极向上的基调一致。warn（警告）、allow（允许）、order（命令）语气与语义均不符。
【考点分析】考查动词搭配 encourage sb. to do sth.，并兼顾全文情感色彩（鼓舞、启发）。
四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Cleaner air in 19 cities
A new report looks at air pollution in 19 cities in Asia, Europe and North America. Each of them has cut two kinds of pollution by at least 20% since 2010. Beijing built an air quality monitoring network. Paris added more bike lanes (自行车道), so that people can travel in a greener way. The report came out on March 11, 2026.
A robot that picks up plastic
Moroti, a student from Canada, has built a robot that uses AI to take plastic out of s and filters (过滤器) can hurt fish, but his machine uses magnets (磁铁) to collect even very small pieces. In August 2026, he won the Stockholm Junior Water Prize for it.
Opera comes to school
On October 17, 2026, the Kunqu Opera Festival opened at a primary school in Kunshan, Jiangsu. For the first time, the opening ceremony was held in a school. Students of the school's Kunqu troupe (剧团) sang and danced on the stage. Kunqu is about 600 years old and is on the UNESCO list.
51. Where can we most probably read the three pieces of news
A. In a travel guide book. B. In a science fiction magazine.
C. On a school notice board. D. In a newspaper's world and culture page.
【51】【答案】D
【解析】三则材料分别是“19 座城市空气更清洁”的国际环保报道、“加拿大学生的塑料回收机器人”的人物科技新闻、“昆曲首次在学校举办开幕式”的文化新闻，内容跨越国际、科技与文化，最可能出现在报纸的“世界与文化”版面。旅行指南、科幻杂志、学校公告栏都与“国际新闻＋文化报道”的定位不符。
【考点分析】考查文章出处/体裁判断。依据是内容的“新闻性、国际性、文化性”，而非某一处细节。
52. How did Paris make its air cleaner
A. By building a monitoring network. B. By adding more bike lanes.
C. By closing some factories. D. By planting more trees.
【52】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “Paris added more bike lanes, so that people can travel in a greener way.”，巴黎通过增设自行车道改善空气质量。A 项建监测网络是北京的做法，属主体错位；C、D 项原文未提及。
【考点分析】考查细节题中的“主体对应”。三则新闻并置时，务必把“城市—措施”一一对齐，防止张冠李戴。
53. What is special about Moroti's robot
A. It can collect tiny plastic pieces without hurting fish.
B. It is the cheapest robot in the world.
C. It can clean all the plastic in the sea.
D. It was made by a group of students.
【53】【答案】A
【解析】原文说 “Nets and filters can hurt fish, but his machine uses magnets to collect even very small pieces.”，即用磁铁收集极小的塑料碎片且不伤害鱼类。B 项“世界最便宜的机器人”、C 项“清理海里所有塑料”、D 项“由一群学生制作”均属夸大或无中生有。
【考点分析】考查细节理解与排除法。凡含 all、cheapest 等绝对化表达的选项，须回原文验证是否真有依据。
54. What would be the best title for the third piece of news
A. How to Sing Kunqu Well B. A Famous Festival in Jiangsu
C. Kunqu Finds a New Stage in a School D. A 600-year-old Chinese Opera
【54】【答案】C
【解析】第三则新闻的核心事件是“昆曲节开幕式首次在学校举行、学校昆曲剧团登台演出”，标题须覆盖这一主体事件，故为 “Kunqu Finds a New Stage in a School”。D 项只交代昆曲有 600 年历史，属背景信息，不能统领全篇。
【考点分析】考查标题归纳。好标题要“覆盖主体事件＋体现新闻价值”，只取局部信息或只写背景都不合格。
55. What do the three pieces of news have in common
A. They are all about Chinese culture.
B. They all talk about air problems.
C. They are all about new inventions.
D. They all show people taking action to make things better.
【55】【答案】D
【解析】三则新闻的共同点是“人们采取行动让现状变好”：城市治理空气、学生发明机器人清理塑料、学校让昆曲走进校园。A 项“都与中国文化有关”错误（前两则不是）；B 项“都谈空气问题”错误；C 项“都是新发明”错误。
【考点分析】考查共同点归纳。要逐项排除，寻找三则材料在“行为—结果”上的共性。
B
On a September evening in 2026, the old town of Yangliuqing in Tianjin was full of red lanterns. Students from 101 countries came here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and to try some of China's oldest crafts.
At the centre of the day was a big paper-cut picture. It was made by Hao Guifen and her daughter Yang Yang. The two women spent six weeks on it. Red peonies, clouds and white doves were put together with famous Tianjin sights, such as the Tianjin Eye and the Great Wall at Huangyaguan. “We wanted the picture to be like a bridge,” Yang said. “A bridge between old and new, and between China and the world.”
Yangliuqing paper-cutting is not done with scissors alone. Artists use very fine knives, and a big piece may need dozens of different ones. Hao has a problem with her back, so long hours of work are painful for her. She often waits until late at night, when her shop is quiet, and stands there for hours to finish the parts that are hard to reach. “You cannot rush this craft,” she said. “Every line has to be steady.”
Yang is the sixth generation of her family to do this work. She teaches paper-cutting in local schools and helps run the family studio. “Old traditions must be kept alive, but they also need to reach young people, both in China and abroad,” she said.
That day, the foreign students held the red paper for her and made their first cuts. “I thought it would be simple, but it is so precise (精准的),” said Divsha from Mauritius. For many of them, the moon that night was more than a moon.
56. How long did it take Hao and her daughter to finish the picture
A. Six days. B. Six weeks. C. Six months. D. Six years.
【56】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “The two women spent six weeks on it.”，母女俩花了六周完成那幅剪纸。
【考点分析】考查数字细节。six days / weeks / months / years 四个选项只差单位，听读时要精确定位时间单位。
57. Why does Hao often work late at night
A. Because students come to learn from her at night.
B. Because her shop is busier at night.
C. Because her back makes long hours of work painful.
D. Because she can buy better knives at night.
【57】【答案】C
【解析】原文 “Hao has a problem with her back, so long hours of work are painful for her. She often waits until late at night, when her shop is quiet…” 意为她腰背有毛病、长时间工作很痛苦，于是等深夜店铺安静时才站着完成那些难以处理的部分。
【考点分析】考查因果细节。题干问 Why，答案必须能回答“为什么选在深夜”，so 与 when 从句是关键证据。
58. What does the underlined word “steady” probably mean
A. Straight and firm. B. Colourful. C. Free. D. Quick.
【58】【答案】A
【解析】画线词所在句 “You cannot rush this craft. Every line has to be steady.”，前句说“这手艺急不得”，后句说“每一根线条都必须 steady”，可推知意为“平稳、稳当”，即 Straight and firm。Colourful、Free、Quick 与“不能赶工”的语境矛盾。
【考点分析】考查词义猜测。方法是用上下句的因果、解释关系反推，尤其注意 cannot rush 这一反向线索。
59. What does Yang Yang think of old traditions
A. They are too hard for young people to learn.
B. They should be kept exactly as they were.
C. They will disappear in a few years.
D. They stay alive only when young people take part in them.
【59】【答案】D
【解析】杨洋说 “Old traditions must be kept alive, but they also need to reach young people, both in China and abroad.”，她认为传统要传承下去就必须走近年轻人，即只有年轻人参与才能保持生命力。B 项“原封不动保留”与 reach young people 矛盾，C 项“几年内消失”属无据推断。
【考点分析】考查观点态度。but 之后常是作者真正强调的观点，本题考查点正在 but 后半句。
60. What would be the best title for the passage
A. How to Cut Paper B. A Festival for Foreigners
C. A Bridge Made of Paper D. The Tianjin Eye
【60】【答案】C
【解析】文中反复以“桥”为核心意象：杨洋说 “We wanted the picture to be like a bridge… A bridge between old and new, and between China and the world.”，而作品本身是剪纸（paper-cut），故 “A Bridge Made of Paper” 最能概括。A、B 项偏重技法或活动，D 项只是画中景物。
【考点分析】考查标题归纳。抓文中反复出现的核心意象与人物点题句，标题要兼顾“形式（纸）”与“意义（桥）”。
C
How much do you sleep A new study of more than 6,000 children aged 10 to 13 may make you think again.
Researchers at UC Davis in the US looked at four habits: sleep, screen time, exercise and diet. They wanted to know which of them best explains why some children with anxiety (焦虑) or low moods do worse at school and find it harder to make friends. The answer was sleep—far ahead of the other three.
For children with anxiety, sleep explained 36% of the link between their feelings and their school results. Screen time explained only about 5%. Exercise and diet mattered even less.
Why is sleep so powerful When we do not sleep well, we feel tired the next day. It is hard to pay attention in class, and small problems can make us angry. Tired children may also stay away from others, and that makes friendships harder to keep.
“Parents often focus on the phone,” said Jason Smucny, the first author of the study. “But sleep is something a family can actually change.” He suggests going to bed at the same time every night, putting the phone away half an hour before sleep, and keeping the bedroom cool, dark and quiet.
The study does not say that more sleep will solve every problem. It shows a strong link, not a magic cure (疗法). Still, for teenagers who want to do better at school and get along better with friends, an earlier bedtime may be the easiest place to start.
61. What did the study find
A. Screen time matters most to children's grades.
B. Sleep matters more than the other three habits.
C. Diet is the key to good school results.
D. Exercise is the most important habit.
【61】【答案】B
【解析】原文 “The answer was sleep—far ahead of the other three.”，研究发现睡眠比其他三种习惯更能解释焦虑儿童学业与人际的差异。A 项“屏幕时间最重要”、C 项“饮食是关键”、D 项“运动最重要”都与结论相反。
【考点分析】考查研究发现。答案通常在 “The answer was…” 这类总结句中，注意 far ahead of 的比较含义。
62. For children with anxiety, how much of the link did sleep explain
A. About 36%. B. About 50%. C. About 5%. D. About 18%.
【62】【答案】A
【解析】原文 “For children with anxiety, sleep explained 36% of the link between their feelings and their school results.”，即约 36%。B 项 50%、C 项 5%（屏幕时间的比例）、D 项 18% 均为干扰。
【考点分析】考查数字细节。要区分不同习惯对应的百分比，5% 是 screen time 的数据，最易混听。
63. Why can poor sleep make friendships harder to keep
A. Because children may forget their friends' names.
B. Because children may spend more time on the phone.
C. Because tired children may stay away from others.
D. Because children may sleep in class.
【63】【答案】C
【解析】原文 “Tired children may also stay away from others, and that makes friendships harder to keep.”，疲惫的孩子可能远离他人，因而更难维持友谊。A、B、D 项均无原文依据。
【考点分析】考查因果细节。题干问“为什么友谊更难维持”，须定位到 stay away from others 这一直接原因。
64. What does Jason Smucny suggest
A. Sleeping more at weekends only. B. Doing more exercise after school.
C. Stopping using phones completely. D. Going to bed at the same time every night.
【64】【答案】D
【解析】原文 “He suggests going to bed at the same time every night…”，即每天固定时间上床睡觉。C 项“完全停止使用手机”过度解读——原文只说睡前半小时把手机收起来；A、B 项均非他的建议。
【考点分析】考查建议细节与“度”的把握。凡把原文的“部分限制”改成“完全禁止”的选项，都属过度推断。
65. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage
A. To ask schools to start classes later.
B. To show why sleep deserves more attention from teenagers.
C. To compare American and Chinese students.
D. To sell a new sleep app to teenagers.
【65】【答案】B
【解析】全文用研究数据说明睡眠对学业与人际关系影响最大，并给出可操作的睡眠建议，目的是让青少年认识到睡眠值得更多重视。A 项“要求学校推迟上课”、C 项“比较中美学生”、D 项“推销睡眠 App”均在文中无据。
【考点分析】考查写作意图。要综合首段的问题引入、中段的数据论证和尾段的行动建议，判断作者“为什么写”。
第Ⅱ卷（非选择题　共40分）
五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从方框中选择合适的单词或短语填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每个单词或短语限用一次，需要时改变形式。
notice use save work easy real turn into
Good ideas often come from small problems in daily life. Li Letian, a middle school student in Shanghai, ____66____ that his father never used the horn (喇叭) in the city. The sound was too loud and would disturb people around. So Li designed a new kind of horn. It sends the sound only to the person in front, and other people can hardly hear it. It took him months to make the model ____67____.
Zhang Xinyi had a different problem. She often forgot the time in the shower and wasted water. Her smart shower head ____68____ different coloured lights to show how long she has been in. When the time is up, the water stops by itself. Her invention can ____69____ a lot of water in a family.
These young inventors show us that a good idea is not far away. If we keep our eyes open, even a small problem can ____70____ a great invention.
说明：本题方框共给出 7 项（notice、use、save、work、easy、real、turn into），而空格只有 5 个，其中 easy、real 为干扰项，不必使用。
【66】【答案】noticed
【解析】考查动词时态与词形变化。提示词为 notice，句子叙述过去发生的事（his father never used the horn），应用一般过去时 noticed。
【考点分析】词与短语填空中的“动词时态变化”，要依据上下文时间标志判断。
【67】【答案】work
【解析】考查固定结构 make sth. work（使……运转、奏效）。“It took him months to make the model work.” 意为“他花了好几个月才让模型正常工作”。
【考点分析】make + 宾语 + do（不带 to 的不定式），此处 work 为动词原形。
【68】【答案】uses
【解析】考查主谓一致。“Her smart shower head uses different coloured lights to show how long she has been in.” 主语为第三人称单数，故用 uses。
【考点分析】一般现在时中主语为第三人称单数时，动词要加 -s/-es。
【69】【答案】save
【解析】考查情态动词后的动词形式。“Her invention can save a lot of water in a family.” can 后接动词原形 save。
【考点分析】情态动词 + 动词原形，同时结合“节水”语境判断词义。
【70】【答案】turn into
【解析】考查短语动词。“even a small problem can turn into a great invention.” 意为“连一个小问题也能变成一项伟大的发明”。
【考点分析】turn into 表示“变成”，与 change into 同义，注意此处用原形。
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1个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。
On September 15, 2026, the old town of Yangliuqing in Tianjin welcomed 120 students from 101 ____71____ (country). They came for a poetry gala (诗会) before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Red lanterns were hung along the stone streets, and the town looked ____72____ (beauty) in the evening light. Students tried paper-cutting and watched Peking Opera for the ____73____ (one) time. “I thought it would be easy, ____74____ it is much harder than it looks,” said a girl from Mauritius.
In the evening, the students read poems about the moon. A boy from New Zealand said that in his country the moon is often ____75____ (connect) with mystery, but in China it stands for family and reunion. “The moon ____76____ (bring) people together,” he said.
Hao Guifen, a paper-cutting artist, started learning the craft when she was eight. She hopes more young people will pick it up and pass it on to ____77____ next generation. “A tradition is like a river,” she said ____78____ (soft). “It only stays alive when it keeps ____79____ (flow).”
The gala ended with a big paper-cut picture. On it, young people from five continents stand ____80____ the same moon.
说明：71—80 题需根据括号内所给词的适当形式或上下文填入 1 个适当的单词，逐题答案与解析如下。
【71】【答案】countries
【解析】考查名词复数。“120 students from 101 countries”，101 后接可数名词复数，country 变复数时把 y 变 i 再加 es。
【考点分析】数词 + 可数名词复数；以“辅音字母 + y”结尾的名词变复数规则。
【72】【答案】beautiful
【解析】考查词性转换。look 为系动词，后接形容词作表语，“the town looked beautiful in the evening light”。
【考点分析】系动词（look、feel、sound、taste 等）后接形容词。
【73】【答案】first
【解析】考查序数词。“for the first time” 表示“第一次”，与空前定冠词 the 呼应。
【考点分析】the + 序数词 + time 结构，注意 one→first 的不规则变化。
【74】【答案】but
【解析】考查连词。“I thought it would be easy, but it is much harder than it looks.” 前后为转折关系，故填 but。
【考点分析】根据前后分句的逻辑关系（易→难）判断转折连词。
【75】【答案】connected
【解析】考查被动语态与固定搭配。“the moon is often connected with mystery”，be connected with 表示“与……相关联”，此处用过去分词。
【考点分析】be + 过去分词构成被动；connect 的常见搭配 connect A with B / be connected with。
【76】【答案】brings
【解析】考查主谓一致与时态。“The moon brings people together.” 引语陈述普遍事实，用一般现在时，主语 the moon 为第三人称单数。
【考点分析】一般现在时表客观事实；第三人称单数动词加 -s。
【77】【答案】the
【解析】考查冠词。“pass it on to the next generation”，the next generation 为固定表达，表示“下一代”。
【考点分析】定冠词 the 用于特指或固定搭配，the next generation 不可用 a。
【78】【答案】softly
【解析】考查副词。修饰动词 said 应用副词，“she said softly” 意为“她轻声说”。
【考点分析】形容词 + ly 构成副词，修饰动词作状语。
【79】【答案】flowing
【解析】考查非谓语动词。“It only stays alive when it keeps flowing.”，keep doing sth. 表示“持续做某事”，故用现在分词 flowing。
【考点分析】keep doing（一直做）与 keep on doing 的固定搭配。
【80】【答案】under
【解析】考查介词。“young people from five continents stand under the same moon”，表示“在同一轮明月下”，用 under。
【考点分析】介词表空间位置；under the same moon 为常见意象表达。
七、书面表达（共1题，满分20分）

Thank you for listening!
【答案】参考范文
Two years ago, I was afraid to speak in front of others. I kept silent in class and even hid behind my desk when the teacher asked me to read aloud.
Everything changed when our English teacher encouraged me to join the school English club. There I met friendly partners and practised speaking little by little. Now I can give a short talk without shaking, and I have made many new friends.
This change has taught me that courage grows every time we try. I will keep stepping out of my comfort zone and welcome every new challenge.
【解析】范文按提示写成“三段式”：第一段写变化（由不敢在人前发言到能从容演讲），第二段写原因（英语老师鼓励我加入英语社团，在社团里一点点练习），第三段写感受与收获（勇气在每次尝试中生长）。时态上用一般过去时交代过去的状态与转折事件，用一般现在时和将来时呈现现在的变化与今后的打算，形成清晰的“今昔对比”。连接词 Two years ago、when、Now、This change、I will 使行文层次分明，且没有逐条翻译提示。
【考点分析】考查“Changes Make Me Better”话题的演讲稿写作：①按“变化—原因—感受”三段组织内容，覆盖全部要点；②一般过去时与一般现在时对比使用；③首尾与已给句子自然衔接，字数控制在 80—100 词（不含已给首尾）；④不出现真实姓名与校名，语言得体、有演讲感。

She had never heard of such a thing before. Most fire extinguishers (灭火器) leave a mess behind, and the mess can ____37____ computers and old books. “What if we fight fire with sound ” she thought.
The idea is simple. Low sounds make waves of air, and the waves push the oxygen away, so the fire ____38____. But building the machine was not ____39____. Her first model was as big as a desk and could work for only a few seconds. “I failed many times,” she said. “But every failure ____40____ me something new.”
Angela needed a battery, a generator and a loudspeaker. She got ____41____ from an old radio in the school lab. She also added a heat sensor, so the machine could find a fire and start working ____42____. After five models, she finally had one that was small enough to carry in a school bag. It puts out a small fire in seconds and leaves nothing behind—no water, no foam, no powder.
Angela kept improving her machine ____43____ it became smaller and lighter. In October 2026, she took it to a science competition in Indonesia. Among 110 projects from 25 countries, hers won the gold medal. “I never ____44____ to stand on that stage,” she said. “I just wanted to solve a small problem in my daily life.”
Angela knows the machine is not yet ____45____ for big fires. ____46____, she believes it will be useful in labs and libraries, where water and foam may do more ____47____ than the fire itself.
Her next step is to make the machine cheaper. She hopes it will be ____48____ in every school lab one day. “A big ____49____ always starts with a small question,” she says. And her story ____50____ us all to look at the world with curious eyes.

On a September evening in 2026, the old town of Yangliuqing in Tianjin was full of red lanterns. Students from 101 countries came here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and to try some of China's oldest crafts.
At the centre of the day was a big paper-cut picture. It was made by Hao Guifen and her daughter Yang Yang. The two women spent six weeks on it. Red peonies, clouds and white doves were put together with famous Tianjin sights, such as the Tianjin Eye and the Great Wall at Huangyaguan. “We wanted the picture to be like a bridge,” Yang said. “A bridge between old and new, and between China and the world.”
Yangliuqing paper-cutting is not done with scissors alone. Artists use very fine knives, and a big piece may need dozens of different ones. Hao has a problem with her back, so long hours of work are painful for her. She often waits until late at night, when her shop is quiet, and stands there for hours to finish the parts that are hard to reach. “You cannot rush this craft,” she said. “Every line has to be steady.”
Yang is the sixth generation of her family to do this work. She teaches paper-cutting in local schools and helps run the family studio. “Old traditions must be kept alive, but they also need to reach young people, both in China and abroad,” she said.
That day, the foreign students held the red paper for her and made their first cuts. “I thought it would be simple, but it is so precise (精准的),” said Divsha from Mauritius. For many of them, the moon that night was more than a moon.
56. How long did it take Hao and her daughter to finish the picture
A. Six days. B. Six weeks. C. Six months. D. Six years.
57. Why does Hao often work late at night
A. Because students come to learn from her at night.
B. Because her shop is busier at night.
C. Because her back makes long hours of work painful.
D. Because she can buy better knives at night.
58. What does the underlined word “steady” probably mean
A. Straight and firm. B. Colourful. C. Free. D. Quick.
59. What does Yang Yang think of old traditions
A. They are too hard for young people to learn.
B. They should be kept exactly as they were.
C. They will disappear in a few years.
D. They stay alive only when young people take part in them.
60. What would be the best title for the passage
A. How to Cut Paper B. A Festival for Foreigners
C. A Bridge Made of Paper D. The Tianjin Eye
C
How much do you sleep A new study of more than 6,000 children aged 10 to 13 may make you think again.
Researchers at UC Davis in the US looked at four habits: sleep, screen time, exercise and diet. They wanted to know which of them best explains why some children with anxiety (焦虑) or low moods do worse at school and find it harder to make friends. The answer was sleep—far ahead of the other three.
For children with anxiety, sleep explained 36% of the link between their feelings and their school results. Screen time explained only about 5%. Exercise and diet mattered even less.
Why is sleep so powerful When we do not sleep well, we feel tired the next day. It is hard to pay attention in class, and small problems can make us angry. Tired children may also stay away from others, and that makes friendships harder to keep.
“Parents often focus on the phone,” said Jason Smucny, the first author of the study. “But sleep is something a family can actually change.” He suggests going to bed at the same time every night, putting the phone away half an hour before sleep, and keeping the bedroom cool, dark and quiet.
The study does not say that more sleep will solve every problem. It shows a strong link, not a magic cure (疗法). Still, for teenagers who want to do better at school and get along better with friends, an earlier bedtime may be the easiest place to start.
61. What did the study find
A. Screen time matters most to children's grades.
B. Sleep matters more than the other three habits.
C. Diet is the key to good school results.
D. Exercise is the most important habit.
62. For children with anxiety, how much of the link did sleep explain
A. About 36%. B. About 50%. C. About 5%. D. About 18%.
63. Why can poor sleep make friendships harder to keep
A. Because children may forget their friends' names.
B. Because children may spend more time on the phone.
C. Because tired children may stay away from others.
D. Because children may sleep in class.
64. What does Jason Smucny suggest
A. Sleeping more at weekends only. B. Doing more exercise after school.
C. Stopping using phones completely. D. Going to bed at the same time every night.
65. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage
A. To ask schools to start classes later.
B. To show why sleep deserves more attention from teenagers.
C. To compare American and Chinese students.
D. To sell a new sleep app to teenagers.
