Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.
“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”
When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.
The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.
James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.
James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.

Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores
Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.
While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.
Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel qualified. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.
Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.
8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1
A. To express doubts. B. To make a warning.
C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.
9. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study
A. Chores. B. Less homework.
C. School activities. D. Learning schedules.
10. What does the underlined word “qualified” mean in paragraph 4
A. Tired. B. Nervous.
C. Having no time. D. Having the ability.
11. What does this text focus on
A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores.
C. The importance of life skills. D. Ways to balance study and chores.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子做家务对其有好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段话“Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores (有时候父母想知道他们是否真的应该给孩子做家务。毕竟，管理家庭不是父母的责任吗？孩子们现在难道不需要一个“做孩子”的机会吗？因为他们的余生都要操心家务。)”可知，第一段话通过反问的方式来引出话题——孩子需要做家务。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.(哈佛大学一项著名的长达75年的研究表明，做家务可以使孩子更有可能成为快乐、健康和独立的成年人。)”可知，研究表明做家务有助于孩子的成长。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段话中画线单词上下文“One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores.(一个原因是孩子们在做家务时会有一种成就感。)”和“Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. (做家务也可以帮助孩子感到他们是团队的一部分，并学会承担责任。)”可知，无论孩子们做了什么家务，他们都会又一种成就感，且学会承担责任，即让他们觉得自己是有能力的。画线单词意为“有能力”，所以“have the ability(有能力)”与qualified意思接近。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段话“Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.(做家务的孩子会获得重要的生活技能，这将使他们一生受益。准备饭菜、修剪草坪或洗衣服等生活技能在高中毕业后很重要，这有助于你的孩子独立生活。)”可知，本文主要讲述了做家务给孩子带来的好处。故选B。

Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.
12. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring.
13 What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening
A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time.
C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.
14. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving.
C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not
C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土，种植和收割这样的活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton，一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说，“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里，保持一个健康的体重”)”可知，Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉，很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖，高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知，本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员，朋友或邻居之间的共同活动，从而建立关系和归属感)”可知，园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喝茶的正确方式、步骤和注意点。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：喝茶不仅是一种令人放松时刻，而且茶是一种无穷无尽的饮料，有很多不同的类型，每一种都有自己独特的味道。分析句子可知，空处作修饰moment的定语，描述的是事物的特性，因此应用-ing结尾的形容词relaxing，意为“令人放松的”。故填relaxing。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：喝茶不仅是一种令人放松的时刻，而且茶是一种无穷无尽的饮料，有很多不同的类型，每一种都有自己独特的味道。分析句子可知，空后是名词短语own unique flavor，因此应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者，发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里，简单而随意地浸泡，你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。根据“find yourself”可推知，空处应填非谓语动词作宾补，put和“你自己”之间为逻辑主动关系，且表示动作正在发生，因此空处应用put的现在分词形式。故填putting。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者，发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里，简单而随意地浸泡，你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。分析句子可知，空处和carelessly并列，修饰steeping，因此应用副词simply，意为“简单地”。故填simply。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者，发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里，简单而随意地浸泡，你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。分析句子可知，空处被tea-drinking修饰，作介词of的宾语，因此应用名词happiness，意为“快乐”，为不可数名词。故填happiness。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：有几件重要的事情会影响茶的味道，包括茶的种类、水温和浸泡时间。根据“a few”可知，此处指几件重要的事情，空处应用thing的复数形式。故填things。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：要做一杯完美的茶，首先，你最好准备散叶茶，而不是茶包，它有浓郁而持久的味道。根据“instead”和“tea bags”可推知，此处用固定短语instead of，意为“而不是”，因此空处应用介词of。故填of。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：要做一杯完美的茶，首先，你最好准备散叶茶，而不是茶包，它有浓郁而持久的味道。分析句子可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词loose-leaf tea，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词which或that作引导词。故填which/that。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：散叶茶产生的垃圾通常也比茶包少。根据“than tea bags”可知，此处表示比较，因此空处应用little的比较级。故填less。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：当它开始沸腾时就把水倒掉，以获得最佳的味道。分析句子可知，空处作when引导的时间状语从句的谓语，主句为祈使句，从句应用一般现在时，且主语为it，因此start需用第三人称单数形式。故填starts。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been going through some difficult times not so long ago dealing with the pressures of growing up and trying to communicate with my parents, particularly my mother. Our relationship had suffered because of this. When I got angry, it seemed like we would end up fighting with each other and not talk about what we were really feeling. Luckily, I have solved those problems now after we had a heart-to-heart “talk”.
A while back I ran away from home so that I could be far enough away to cool down. I stayed away for many hours, well into the night, before I finally decided to return home. When I walked through the front door, I immediately saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my parents’ faces, especially my mother’s. For days to come, my mom and I experienced a lot of suffering. Everything we did or said was filled with tension until we were unable to control our feelings. We knew we badly needed to have a talk. We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning. That morning will remain fresh in my memory forever. It was a turning point.
We decided to go to a local café. On our way to the table, I noticed that my mother had two notebooks and some pens. I asked her what they were for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than try to talk about them. She then handed me one notebook and she kept the other. The rules for that talk were that she would pick a topic, and we would write down our feelings, and then exchange our notebooks. It could be as long or as short as we wanted.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our first topic was: “Why I am so angry.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We exchanged our notebooks and read the words.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Our first topic was: “Why I am so angry.” I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages. I watched tears roll down her face as she wrote. I never realized anyone could hide so much anger. It could have been because I never paid much attention to that, either. Sometimes we think we are the only ones with problems, but I was reminded that morning that other people can be hurting just as much.
We exchanged our notebooks and read the words. As soon as I started reading my mother’s words, I began to cry and so did she. Amazingly enough, it felt like all my anger slowly faded. Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about anger but also about love. We knew we loved each other dearly. Since then, our notebooks have been a safe place to express it. Now, we live a healthy life full of peace and love.
【解析】
【导语】本篇文章以人物为线索。作者不久前与妈妈的关系紧张，他们约好一起去吃早餐，妈妈带了两个笔记本和一些钢笔，他们两个对同一个话题各自写下自己的想法，然后交换阅读。通过这样，两人明白了对方的愤怒和爱意，最终两人的关系得到修复。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“我们的第一个话题是：‘为什么我这么生气。’”可知，第一段可以写妈妈和作者二人分别就这个话题写下自己的想法，作者发现了之前从来没有意识到的问题。
由续写第二段首句“我们交换了笔记本，读了话语。”可知，第二段可以写作者和妈妈读对方写的话，他们懂得了对方的愤怒和爱意，从那之后他们把笔记本放在了一个安全的地方，二人的关系恢复如初。
2. 段落续写：分别写作——交换阅读——愤怒消散——双方意识到愤怒和爱——笔记本被放在安全地方——过着平静而有爱的生活

Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.
“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”
When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.
The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.
James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.
James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.
4. What can we know about Valentina
A. She was sad at losing Beatrice. B. She has brown hair.
C. She loved taking photos with Beatrice. D. She lives in Tokyo.
5. What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost
A. They sent an email to the airline. B. They got in touch with James.
C. They searched their travel bags. D. They spread the message online.
6. How did Valentina get her doll back
A. She found it at home. B. James sent it back in person.

Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores
Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.
While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.
Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel qualified. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.
Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.
8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1
A. To express doubts. B. To make a warning.
C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.
9. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study
A. Chores. B. Less homework.
C. School activities. D. Learning schedules.
10. What does the underlined word “qualified” mean in paragraph 4
A. Tired. B. Nervous.
C. Having no time. D. Having the ability.
11. What does this text focus on
A Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores.
C. The importance of life skills. D. Ways to balance study and chores.
D
Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.
12. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening
A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time.
C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.
14. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving.
C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not
C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been going through some difficult times not so long ago dealing with the pressures of growing up and trying to communicate with my parents, particularly my mother. Our relationship had suffered because of this. When I got angry, it seemed like we would end up fighting with each other and not talk about what we were really feeling. Luckily, I have solved those problems now after we had a heart-to-heart “talk”.
A while back I ran away from home so that I could be far enough away to cool down. I stayed away for many hours, well into the night, before I finally decided to return home. When I walked through the front door, I immediately saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my parents’ faces, especially my mother’s. For days to come, my mom and I experienced a lot of suffering. Everything we did or said was filled with tension until we were unable to control our feelings. We knew we badly needed to have a talk. We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning. That morning will remain fresh in my memory forever. It was a turning point.
We decided to go to a local café. On our way to the table, I noticed that my mother had two notebooks and some pens. I asked her what they were for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than try to talk about them. She then handed me one notebook and she kept the other. The rules for that talk were that she would pick a topic, and we would write down our feelings, and then exchange our notebooks. It could be as long or as short as we wanted.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
