Part I Grammar and Vocabulary (30 marks)
Directions:For each of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET
1.The city ( )a bridge across the river next year.
A.build B.built C.has built D.will build
【解析】: 考察时态。句意“明年这座城市将会在这条河上建一座桥”。根据时间标志词next year, 谓语动词时态用一般将来时即will build,故答案选D.
2.I would like to travel to an island ( ) there is plenty ofsunshine.
A.why B.that C.where D.which
【解析】:考察定语从句。句意“我想要去阳光很多的岛屿上度假”。从句 there is plenty of sunshine 作 island 的后置定语从句,从句结构完整,故补充地点状语,用关系副词 where, 故答案选C。
3.IfI were you,I for her opinion.
A.asked B.would ask C.ask D.will ask
【解析】:考察虚拟语气。句意“如果我是你,我就会询问她的想法”。由从句IfI were you 可知是对于现在的虚拟,那么主句的谓语动词用would+do, 故答案选B
4.Not until I had read between the lines( )the concept.
A.did I understand B.I understood C.I did understand D.understood I
【解析】:考察特殊句式。句意“直到我读完字里行间。我才明白这个概念”。Not until引 导 “直到才”的句型结构,否定词放句首,主句结构需要部分倒装即“助动词+主语+谓语”, 故符合的答案选A.
5.Places in the south tend to be warmer,( )those in the north are relatively cold.
A.while B.or C.so D.unless
【解析】:考察连词。句意“南方地区往往会更温暖,然而北方地区相对冷一点”. While 然而,表对比转折;or:或者;不然的话;so:因此 ;unless:如果不,除非,故根据句意,符 合的答案选A
6.Don't let fear stop you.
7.I haven't had a holiday ( )ages.
A.for B.of C.on D.at
答 案 :A.for
解析:表时间持续用“for","for ages”为固定搭配,意为“很久”。其他介词不符合语境。句意为:我很久没有度假了。
8.Did you see the movie on ( ) television or in( )cinema.
A./;a B.the;a C.a;/ D.a;the
答案:A
解析:根据题目 要求和现有选项的严谨分析:
1. 第一个空:on television, 当 表 示“通过电视媒介”时,television 前使用零冠词(如 "watch on television")。因此第一 空应填1 .
2. 第二个空:in cinema, 虽 然“go to the cinema”是固定搭配(强调场所概念),但题 目选项中没有“/;the” 的组合。若用 “a cinema”,表示“某个电影院”,虽非最佳,但在无正确选项的情况下,可勉强接受为泛指
结论:严格语法角度,题目选项设计不完善(/;the); 若必须选择,优先保证第一空正确选 A, 因为第二空用“a cinema”虽不完美,但可解释为“在某个电影院观看”。 选项 D 因 第一空错误,不建议选择。
最终答案:应选 A, 但需注意题目可能存在选项疏漏。
9.Spending time in nature is popular,with 40%of families ( ) it for family lays. A.are choosing ( )B.choosing
C.have chosen D.chosen 答案:B.choosing
解析:句子结构为“with+ 名词+分词”,表伴随状态。家庭主动“选择”(主动进行),需用 现在分词**choosing**。句意:40%的家庭选择自然活动作为家庭休闲方式。选项A/C 含 谓语动词,D 表被动,均不符。
10.Why thieves broke into house is obvious,but,why they took a book ( ) a mystery.
A.is B.was C.are D.were
答案:A.is
解析:主语从句“why they took a book”视为单数,需搭配单数谓语 (is) 。 句意:偷书原因仍 是谜,时态与前半句一致 ( 现 在 时)。选项B/D 为过去时, C 为复数,均不符。
12.He stood at platform,waving until be out of( )
A.balance B.control C.sight
答案:C.sight
解析:短语“out of sight”意为“看不见”。句意:他站在站台挥手,直到火车消失在视野外。 选项A (失去平衡)、 B (失控)均不符语境。
13.Jack is such a( ) boy,I have never seen him in bad mood.
A.cheerful B.careful C.respectful D.thoughtful
答案:A.cheerful
解析:句意强调杰克“从未心情差”,需形容其性格开朗。A.cheerful (快乐的)直接对应情 绪状态,选项B (细心)、C (尊重)、D (体贴)均侧重行为或态度,与语境不符。
14.Encourage students to recite….,but don't ( )them too hard.
A.draw B.push C.beat D.flash
答案:B.push
解析:句意:鼓励学生背诵,但别过度逼迫。B.push 表“施加压力”,符合语境。选项A (拉 )、 C ( 打 ) 、D (闪烁)均不适用。
15.Making treasured memories( ) to the development of children.
A.approaches B.devotes C.contributes D.appeals
答案:C.contributes
解析:句意: 制造珍贵记忆对儿童发展有贡献。contribute to (促进)为固定搭配,主语为 动名词短语 (making memories),需 主动贡献,故选C 。 选 项A (接近)、B (奉献需人作主 语)、D (吸引)均不符。
Ⅱ.Cloze Test(20 marks)
Directions:There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four
choices marked A,B,C and D below the passage.You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.
One spring evening in 2023,Charlie Essers was waiting for his wife,Elana Essers,to bike home from work.He'd just finished making dinner when he 16 in his car and drove about a mile to the location where the notification indicated she had fallen.It 17 that Elana Essers had hit a stone while biking.When he arrived,she was out of 18 in the middle of the road,throwing her to the ground.
But when Charlie Essers found his wife there,she wasn't 19.There were four cars on each side of her,protecting her from being hit by other 20 on the road.“And she was surrounded by these four women—four strangers—who were blocking traffic,and holding her,"Charlie Essers remembered.The women were 21 holding his wife.They helped comfort her until emergency crews arrived.
"In the chaos of all that,I never got the name of those four beautiful,angelic women who 22 the love of my life lying there in the middle of that dirty road,"Charlie Essers said.Although she had to undergo emergency surgery,Elana Essers eventually recovered.A few months after the 23, Charlie Essers made a large 24 and put it on the street where the women had helped.
It read,"To the four angelic women who stopped the traffic and surrounded my injured wife at this corner on April 6,2023:Words cannot express how 25my family and I are to you. Your selfless actions make you forever heroes.Thank you."
16.A.listened B.jumped C.waited D.lay
17.A.pointed out B.figured out C.turned out D.ruled out
18.A.bike B.car C.ground D.road
19.A.strange B.helpful C.safe D.alone
20.A.men B.vehicles C.women D.stones
21.A.gently B.casually C.happily D.curiously
22.A.showed B.knew C.remembered D.protected
23.A.arrival B.drive C.accident D.action
24.A.box B.gift C.sign D.map
25.A.beautiful B.grateful C.kind D.generous
16. 答案:B.jumped
解析:句意:查理收到妻子摔倒的通知后,跳 (jumped) 上车赶往现场,体现急切行动。选 项C(等待)、 D (躺)与后文"drove"矛盾,A (听)不涉及动作。
17. 答案:C.turned out
解析:句意:结果 (turned out) 是她骑车撞到石头,表真相揭示。选项A (指出)、B (算 出)侧重主观判断,D (排除)不符逻辑。
18. 答案: A.bike
解析:句意:她骑车撞到石头后“从自行车上摔下”(out of bike),"throwing her to the ground" 可理解为脱离自行车,因为前面提到骑车。选项B (车)、D(道路)无关, C (地面)语法 错误。故选A。
19. 答案:D.alone
解析:后文提到“四辆车和女性保护她”,说明妻子并非独自一人。alone (独自)直接否定孤 立状态,与后文形成对比。选项C(safe) 表示“安全”,但前文描述她受伤躺地,与安全矛 盾 ;A(strange) 、B(helpful) 均偏离句意逻辑。因此选alone。
20. 答案:B.vehicles
解析:句意需填入可能撞击她的物体,vehicles (车辆)泛指路上的汽车,与“four cars on each side"呼应。选项D(stones) 已在事故原因中提及,无需重复;A(men) 、C(women) 指 人,但保护她的是车辆阻挡其他车流。故vehicles 最贴合语境。
21. 答 案 :A gently
解析:描述女性救援时的动作,gently (轻柔地)体现对伤者的关怀,符合“comfort her”的 上下文。选项B(casually) 指 随 意 ,C(happily) 表开心,D(curiously) 为好奇,均与紧 急救援的严肃性矛盾。因此选gently.
22. 答案:D protected
解析:句意强调女性“保护”倒地的妻子, protected (保护)直接对应前文"blocking traffic"的 行为。选项A(showed) 指展示,B(knew) 表知道,C(remembered) 为记得,均未体现 主动保护的动作。故protected 最准确。
23. 答案:C.accident
解析:此处需填入事件名词,指妻子遭遇的车祸。 accident (事故)与上下文摔倒、受伤、 手术等描述一致。选项A(arrival) 为到达,B(drive) 指驾驶,D(action) 表行动,均无 法概括事件性质。因此选accident。
2 4 . 答 案 :C.sign
解析:后文提到标牌上的致谢文字, sign ( 标 牌 ) 与“put it on the street"和“read” 逻辑衔接。 选项A(box) 为盒子,B(gift) 指礼物,D(map) 表地图,均无法承载文字信息。故sign 正确。
25. 答案: B.grateful
解析:句意表达家庭对帮助者的感激, grateful (感激的)是唯一直接表达谢意的形容词。 选项A(beautiful) 指美丽,C(kind) 为善良,D(generous) 表慷慨,均未精准对应“无法 言表的感谢”。因此选grateful。

A few years ago,Brian Perkins started using a stick to walk.It was an adjustment that affected his everyday life in small but significant ways."The thing about walking with a stick is that you've only got one hand to carry stuff,"he said.
One day,he was at the dry cleaners picking up his clothing."I was standing at the counter with my walking stick and I was paying and clearly had more than I could carry in one hand out," Perkins remembered.“And this woman,she was sitting by the laundromat and looked at me and she said,'Do you need any help?'And I said,'No,no,I've got it.I've got it.'
Perkins went out to his truck,opened the door and started putting his clothes in the back seat.
When he turned around to make his way back for the second load,the woman was walking toward him with the rest of his laundry in her hands
“And she put it in the truck and she looked at me and she said,'I know you.You've been helping people all your life.Now it's your turn.Accept it.'With those words,the woman turned and walked away.
Perkins didn't know the woman.She was a stranger.But she saw something in him,and knew he needed the prompting to accept the help.
"Her words had a lasting effect on my life,"he said."I've learned that people like to help other people,and that kindness is not something that's forgotten.And for that,I'll be forever thankful."

When people buy flowers or plants to decorate their homes and gardens,sometimes they come with an unexpected guest.Dr Silviu Petrovan,a frog expert at the University of Cambridge, was recently invited to a flower shop in Sheffield,England,to identify a frog that had been found in some roses.He discovered that the frog was from South America.Petrovan said it must have hopped into the roses while they were travelling from Colombia to the UK
Inspired by this,Petrovan has worked with a team of researchers to find out how common it
is for animals,diseases and pests from other parts of the world to arrive in Europe with flowers, and ornamental plants that people grow in their homes or gardens for their appearance or scent.
The researchers looked at records of pests found in ornamental plants entering the Netherlands between 2017 and 2018,and the UK between 2021 and 2023.They found that,in both cases,80%of the pests found were insects.There was also evidence of Italian wall lizards ( 壁 蜥 ) ,geckos (蜥蜴)and snakes from mainland Europe arriving in ornamental olive tree deliveries.Insects,fungi ( 真 菌 ) ,reptiles (爬行动物) and spiders were transported in plant deliveries as well.
This could be increasing the risk of invasive species.Based on their research,Petrovan's team suggested that there needed to be tighter rules around how ornamental plants and flowers are traded between countries.This could help to prevent harmful species making their way into new habitats.However,the team added that any new rules shouldn't make the plant trade more difficult because lots of people rely on it to make money.
34.Which of the following is mentioned as an unexpected guest in Paragraph 1?
A.A plant to decorate homes. B.The owner of a shop. C.An expert named Petrovan. D.A frog from South America
【解析】: 问“以下哪一个在第一段中被提到了是意外的客人?”由第一段内容可知 “a frog that had been found in some roses.”花园中的玫瑰中出现了一直来自南美的青蛙,故答案选D.
35.Where did the Italian wall lizards (壁蜥 )come from according to Paragraph 3?
A.Colombia. B.The Netherlands. C.Mainland Europe. D.The UK.
【解析】:问“根据第三段,意大利壁虎来自哪里?”由题干关键词定位到第三段内容“There was also evidence of Italian wall lizards(壁蜥),geckos (蜥蜴) and snakes from mainland Europe arriving in ornamental olive tree deliveries.” 可知有证据表明,欧洲大陆的意大利壁蜥、壁虎 和蛇类通过装饰性橄榄树的运输渠道入境新地区,故符合的答案选C。
36.What does the underlined word"This"in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Playing with pests B.Transporting plants C.Researching insects. D.Damaging animal habitats.
【解析】:问“最后一段下划线的 this指的是什么?”代词一般指代上文中提到的事物,由
此可定位到上一段的最后一句话 “Insects,fungi (真菌),reptiles (爬行类动物)and spiders were transported in plant deliveries as well.” 可知昆虫、真菌、爬行动物和蜘蛛也通过植物运 输被携带入境,这种情况 (this) 会提高物种入侵的风险,故 答案选B.
37.Why did the research team suggest making tighter rules?
A.To help people make more money.
B.To make the plant trade more difficult.
C.To improve the environment for animals.
【解析】:问“为什么研究团队建议要制定更严格的规则?”由题干关键词定位到最后一段
“Petrovan's team suggested that there needed to be tighter rules around how ornamental plants and flowers are traded between countries.This could help to prevent harmful species making their way into new habitats.” 可知更严格的规则能够阻止有害物种入侵新的地区,故答案选D.

Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their families,and yet a survey ofl1,000 grandparents across the UK,carried out by The Pulse Business and BackThen,has found that 53%of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in their grandchildren's lives,with 39%going on to say they feel lonely due to a lack of connection with their family or grandchildren.
But,in a bid to address these feelings,the same survey found that nearly nine out of 10grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families and fight loneliness.In fact,87%of grandparents highlighted that photo apps are playing a key role in how connected they feel to their families,with 57%saying such apps are key to reducing feelings of loneliness for them.
"It's a strange thing,how the world keeps getting smaller,and yet it gets harder for different generations to see each other,"says Ed Botterill,the founder and director of the photo app BackThen. "It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families.But while there's no replacement for real interaction,it's interesting to see how they are turning to tech,and that itseems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness.And sharing photos online is a great way to
give families something to talk about on that next all-family video call.”
38.What is the percentage of the grandparents who feel disconnected from their grandchildren?
A.53%. B.39%. C.87% D.57%.
答案:A.53%
解析: 文章第一段明确提到: “53% of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in
their grandchildren's lives", 而39%的祖父母因缺乏联系感到孤独 (lonely)。
-题目问的是“感到与孙辈疏远”的比例,因此正确答案是53%(选项A) 。39% (选项B) 是进一步说明孤独感的比例,并非直接回答“疏远”问题,disconnected的近义词是distant.. 故选A.
39.What is Ed Botterill's attitude towards the grandparents'loneliness?
A.Critical. B.Sympathetic C.Objective D.Doubtful.
答案:B.Sympathetic
解析: Ed Botterill 的评论中使用了情感化语言: " It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families."(“祖父母感到与家人隔绝是令人难过的。”) 这明确表达了他对祖父 母处境的同情 (sympathy). 他随后提到科技的作用("it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness"), 但并未表现出批判(critical) 、怀疑 (doubtful) 或完全中立 (objective) 。 因此态度是同情的(选项B)。
40.Which word can replace the underlined part"staving off"in the last paragraph?
A.Reducing B.hiding C.highlighting D.sharing
答案:A.Reducing
解析: 原 文 提 到 : "it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness"** 结合上下文,
"staving of"意为“暂时缓解”或“减少”。 选项分析:
-Reducing (减少)符合语境,表示科技帮助祖父母降低孤独感。
-Hiding (隐藏)、highlighting (强调 )、sharing ( 分享) 均与句意不符。 因此正确答案是 A.Reducing.
41.How are the grandparents fighting loneliness according to the survey?
A.By doing business. B.By visiting grandchildren.
C.By embracing tech D.By giving talks on family.
答案:C.By embracing tech
解析:文章第二段明确提到 :“nearly nine out of 10 grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families", 且87%的祖父母认为照片应用(photo apps)增强了与家人的联系。
-选项分析: -By doing business (通过做生意): 文中未提及。
-By visiting grandchildren (通过探访孙辈):未提到具体行动,且调查显示祖父母因疏远感 需要其他方式。
-By embracing tech (通过接受科技): 符合文中“提升科技技能”“使用照片应用”的描述。
-By giving talks on family (通过家庭演讲):无相关依据。
因此正确答案是 C.By embracing tech。

参考范文
The saying "Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today"teaches us to use time wisely.Putting things off often causes stress,but doing tasks early brings better results.
For example,students who finish homework nght after class learn better,while waiting until the last minute leads to mistakes. Studies show starting early makes work easier and lowers worry. Even small actions matter.Just as a tree grows stronger with daily care,consistent efforts shape a brighter future.
In today's fast world,acting quickly is key. Young people who solve problems now will find more chances later.Time never waits,but those who act today will harvest tomorrow's rewards.
