When Jack was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. However, things turned out to be quite disappointing. The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon as the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts (概念), dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one grasped the concepts. Except for Jack. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it. Encouraged by his newfound success, Jack moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for art. All children naturally drew dark pictures on such a day. Except for Jack.
Since then, Jack started improving. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Jack
On the day Jack graduated, he presented the teacher with his most precious possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Jack had written: This is the day I woke up to my brightness.
4. How might be Jack’s feeling before school started
A. disappointed B. confident C. worried D. calm
5. Why couldn’t the kids but Jack understand the concepts
A. Because they were not clever.
B. Because math was too difficult.
C. Because the teacher was too strict.
D. Because they were attracted by the thunder.
6. What does the underlined phrase woke up to probably mean
A. became aware of B. come up with
C. got close to D. made up for
7. What can we learn from Jack’s story
A. No one can predict one’s future.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Being positive works in difficulties.
D. Though you work hard, you might fail.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Jack的成绩一直不好。一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹。在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下，Jack却掌握了老师讲的所有的概念，于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的。在一个阴雨天，Jack却看到了希望的阳光，而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“When Jack was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. (当杰克即将开始上学时，一切迹象都表明他会成功。)”推知，开学前Jack是自信的。故选B。

【6题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“the picture of a bright yellow sun (一幅画着一个明亮的黄色太阳的画)”和划线词后的“my brightness(我的光明)”可知，woke up to my brightness意思是“意识到我的光明”或“知道我的光明”。A. became aware of意识到，知道；B. come up with想出；C. got close to接近；D. made up for弥补。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon. (四年级的时候，他甚至在班里垫底。杰克夜以继日地努力，但没有奏效，直到一个狂风暴雨的下午。)”和倒数第二段中“Since then, Jack started improving. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change (从那以后，杰克开始进步。虽然他从未做到最好，但他的数学老师总是对他的变化感到惊讶和好奇)”推知，积极面对困难是有用的。故选C。

Editor’s note: An increasing number of Chinese people, especially the young, are more willing to celebrate Western festivals. Should we celebrate foreign festivals Forum (论坛) readers share their opinions. You’re welcome to add yours.
Dinah (China)
I enjoy the happy atmosphere of both Chinese and Western festivals. As long as it is meaningful for me, I will celebrate it with my boyfriend, and my parents! I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.
SharkMinnow (Canada)
Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese. Also, spending money = good for economy. Most Chinese don’t take Western festivals as seriously as their own. It’s like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).
Travis (UK)
As an Englishman teaching here in China for two years, my friends have got used to, and enjoy when I celebrate my festivals. My school also likes it as well, although this year they asked me not to scare the teachers so much on Halloween. My Chinese friends enjoy taking part in my festivals, as they also learn more about my culture, and the history that goes with it…
Leesinchina (US)
Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days — first, because they have absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture. Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you. Stick to your own festivals — they actually mean something to you — rather than following western customs for no good reason.
8. What matters most according to Dinah
A. The atmosphere when celebrating festivals.
B. The people with whom to celebrate festivals.
C. Celebrating Chinese festivals with her family.
D. Celebrating Western festivals in a good atmosphere.
9. What’s the attitude of readers 2 and 4 towards celebrating Western festivals
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Negative.
10. Which can be the best topic for this text
A. How should we celebrate festivals
B. Should we celebrate foreign festivals
C. Why are more young people celebrating foreign festivals
D. Are more Chinese people willing to celebrate foreign festivals
11. In which of the following can this text be originally found
A. A newspaper. B. A debate. C. A website. D. A text book.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章引用了论坛读者关于“我们应该庆祝外国节日吗 ”这一问题的不同观点，探讨了我们是否应该庆祝外国节日。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据Dinah (China)部分中“I enjoy the happy atmosphere of both Chinese and Western festivals.(我喜欢中国节日和西方节日的欢乐气氛)”和“I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.(我喜欢西方的节日，经常庆祝它们，甚至不知道它们的起源。为什么 因为我真正享受的只是快乐的气氛)”可知，Dinah认为庆祝节日时的气氛最重要。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据SharkMinnow (Canada)部分中“Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese.(对一些中国人来说，西方节日更像是聚会或游戏)”和“Most Chinese don’t take Western festivals as seriously as their own. It’s like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).(大多数中国人并不像对待自己的节日那样重视西方节日。在我眼里，这就像一场游戏或派对。这就像我眼中的游戏或派对。一种发泄情绪和享受乐趣(并花钱)的方法)”可知，SharkMinnow认为中国人并没有理解西方节日，只是把它当作一种发泄情绪和享受乐趣(并花钱)的方法，由此推知，他并不太赞同中国人这样过去西方节日；根据Leesinchina (US)部分中“Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days(珍惜你自己的节日。如果中国人接受这些西方的日子，那将是一个遗憾)”可知，Leesinchina认为中国人庆祝西方节日是一种遗憾，对其持否定态度。故选D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“An increasing number of Chinese people, especially the young, are more willing to celebrate Western festivals. Should we celebrate foreign festivals Forum (论坛) readers share their opinions. You’re welcome to add yours.(越来越多的中国人，尤其是年轻人，更愿意庆祝西方节日。我们应该庆祝外国节日吗 论坛的读者们分享他们的观点。欢迎您添加您的)”可知，本文引用了论坛读者关于“我们应该庆祝外国节日吗 ”这一问题的不同观点，探讨了我们是否应该庆祝外国节日，所以“Should we celebrate foreign festivals (我们应该庆祝外国节日吗 )”是文章话题。故选B项。

In Xihu district, Hangzhou, among the mountains, lies a unique garden, with breathtaking views in the forests. This site, once an abandoned mine (矿场), was discovered in 2019 by landscape designers Yu Weizeng and Chai Rong.
Yu and Chai share a deep passion for the beauty of mountains and water, and a love for life itself. They and two other partners spent years working on it and managed to change it from a wasteland into an attractive garden.
“On fine days, we set up tents outside for camping together with friends. Gathering around a huge rock, we enjoy simple pleasures such as drinking coffee and playing the guitar. On rainy days, the sound of raindrops pattering against the surface of the pool creates a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. During full moon nights, we lie on the rocks, admiring the moonlight,” Yu says.
A key feature in the garden is a reflective water pool set in the main space. As the sun sets, its light bathe the cliff (峭壁) in various colors, with the mountain’s reflection mirrored in the pool.
“We aimed to bring nature even closer,” Yu says.
In a quiet corner of the garden, there’s a narrow entrance leading to a space where a thin upright window has been artfully placed. Outside the window, a red maple tree has been planted, offering a picturesque view.
“In the past, people lived in harmony with the natural world. They could step outside to see mountains and cross rivers. However, the rapid pace of urbanization (城市化) has disrupted this connection,” he says.
“Our approach involves using our technical talent to solve certain problems, and then allow nature to take its course,” Yu says.
12. Why did Yu and Chai keep on building the garden
A. They wanted to change the wasteland.
B. They both have a strong love for nature.
C They intended to attract people to visit it.
D. They thought they could make money from it.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. What they see. B. What they do.
C. What they think. D. What they enjoy.
14 Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 7
A. Cut off. B. Cut in. C. Cut up. D. Cut out.
15. Which of the following will Yu probably agree with
A. Man can defeat nature.
B. Man can change nature.
C. Man should be at one with nature.
D. Man should make the most of nature.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了景观设计师于伟增和柴荣发现一个曾经废弃的矿场并把它改造成花园的事情。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Yu and Chai share a deep passion for the beauty of mountains and water, and a love for life itself. They and two other partners spent years working on it and managed to change it from a wasteland into an attractive garden.(于和柴都对山水之美有着深厚的热情，对生活本身也有着热爱。他们和另外两位合伙人花了数年的时间，设法把它从一片荒地变成了一个迷人的花园)”可知，于和柴继续建造花园的原因是他们热爱自然。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““On fine days, we set up tents outside for camping together with friends. Gathering around a huge rock, we enjoy simple pleasures such as drinking coffee and playing the guitar. On rainy days, the sound of raindrops pattering against the surface of the pool creates a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. During full moon nights, we lie on the rocks, admiring the moonlight,” Yu says.(“天气好的时候，我们会和朋友们一起在外面搭起帐篷露营。我们围坐在一块巨大的岩石周围，享受着喝咖啡、弹吉他等简单的快乐。下雨天，雨滴拍打池面的声音营造出一种宁静祥和的氛围。在月圆之夜，我们躺在岩石上，欣赏月光，”于说)”可知，第三段主要讲述了他们在花园里做的事情。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第七段划线单词前“In the past, people lived in harmony with the natural world. They could step outside to see mountains and cross rivers.(在过去，人们与自然和谐相处。他们可以走出去看山，过河)”及 However可知，句意发生了转折，说明快速的城市化进程切断了这种人与自然的联系，A项“切断”和disrupted意思一致。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our approach involves using our technical talent to solve certain problems, and then allow nature to take its course,” Yu says.(“我们的方法包括利用我们的技术才能解决某些问题，然后让自然按规律发展，”于说)”可知，于认为不要干预自然，让自然按照自己的规律发展。由此推知，于赞同的观点是人应该与自然融为一体。故选C项。

【答案】36 which
37. is cooked
38. ingredients
39. called 40. a
41. boiled 42. had turned
43. softer 44. with
45. it
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国名菜——回锅肉，包括其由来，做法等等。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它的中文名字是回锅肉，意思是“回到锅里的肉”。该空需要一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，并指代先行词huiguorou，在定语从句中作主语，先行词是物，非限制性定语从句只用which不用that。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：然后再和豆瓣酱、豆豉、大蒜、姜等其它配料一起煮熟。主语与谓语构成被动关系，陈述事实用一般现在时，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为it，谓语用单数。故填is cooked。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：然后再和豆瓣酱、豆豉、大蒜、姜等其它配料一起煮熟。ingredient表“配料”，为可数名词，且由other可知，这里应用名词复数形式。 故填ingredients。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据说这道菜是由宋朝（960-1279）一位名叫苏东坡的中国诗人创作的。分析句子结构可知call与逻辑主语poet构成被动关系，故用过去分词，作定语。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，a Chinese poet与call为被动关系，再由句意可知，这里应用过去分词作定语。故填called。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一天，苏为他的朋友们做了一道美味的猪肉菜。分析句子可知，这里表示“一道美味的猪肉菜”，所以应用不定冠词表泛指，且delicious为辅音音素开始的单词。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：他在锅里煮了猪肉，走出家门，忘记了这件事。分析句子可知，这里考查谓语动词，He与boil为主动关系，且这里时态应于上下文保持一致用一般过去时。故填boiled。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：回来后，他发现猪肉已经变软了。所给动词turn在宾语从句中作谓语，主句谓语动词found使用了一般过去时，根据语境，肉变软是在他回来并发现（return和found）之前，应用过去完成时。故填had turned。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：他尝了尝猪肉在脂肪中滋滋作响的味道，发现猪肉比以前的煮法更软、更美味。由and后more delicious可知，这里也应填形容词比较级作表语。故填softer。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：他尝了尝猪肉在脂肪中滋滋作响的味道，发现猪肉比以前的煮法更软、更美味。分析句子可知，这里考查介词，表示“用”以前的方法，所以应用介词with。故填with。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：于是，他把它放回锅里，再煮一次。分析句子可知，这里应填it作宾语，指代前文 the pork。故填it。

Long ago, in a city lived two boys, Ted and Nick. Ted was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and never did a day’s hard work. Nick was from a poor family, and often helped his parents when they were busy. Despite all of this, they always played with each other and had much fun. They became best friends.
As time went by, both of them grew up and went to different cities. Busy with their work and life, they didn’t have much time to meet each other and catch up.
One day, Nick fell seriously ill and had a fever. The doctor advised him to lie in bed, having a good rest. When Ted got to know it, he went to Nick’s house to meet him.
But with an important meeting to attend, he didn’t stay there for long and talk much with Nick. Instead he just took some money out of his pocket and gave it to his friend and left.
Nick felt very bad but didn’t say anything to him. After some time, Nick got well and worked hard to earn money day and night. He even found a part-time job.
Once Nick earned enough money, he went to Ted to return his money. Nick said, “Thank you for coming to see me when I was ill. And thank you for your money. Now I’ve earned enough.”
It happened that two months later Ted got ill and coughed again and again. He suffered a lot and felt so bad. The doctor suggested him bed rest after taking medicine.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As soon as Nick got the news of Ted’s illness,, Nick left all his work and went to the hospital in a hurry to look after Ted. Seeing the weak Ted lying in bed, Nick felt sad. Nick’s tears gathered and flowed down his face. Nick bought drugs for Ted, and kept him company, telling interesting things that happened outside to Ted to make Ted happy. Nick’s company let Ted forget the pain. A sense of joy and happiness suddenly went through Ted.
Before Nick left, Ted thanked him again and again for his company and concern, but Ted asked Nick why Nick didn’t leave money as he did and then left. Nick sat down and said meaningfully, “Because when I was sick, although you helped me financially, I was very sad in my heart, so I don’t want you to have such feelings.” Ted shed tears of shame. At this moment, the two men returned to the carefree moment of childhood.

When Jack was about to start school all signs pointed to success. However, things turned out to be quite disappointing. The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon, as the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts (概念), dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one grasped the concepts. Except for Jack. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it. Encouraged by his newfound success, Jack moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for art. All children naturally drew dark pictures on such a day. Except for Jack.
Since then, Jack started improving. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Jack
On the day Jack graduated, he presented the teacher with his most precious possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Jack had written: This is the day I woke up to my brightness.

Editor’s note: An increasing number of Chinese people, especially the young, are more willing to celebrate Western festivals. Should we celebrate foreign festivals Forum (论坛) readers share their opinions. You’re welcome to add yours.
Dinah (China)
I enjoy the happy atmosphere of both Chinese and Western festivals. As long as it is meaningful for me, I will celebrate it with my boyfriend, and my parents! I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.
SharkMinnow (Canada)
Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese. Also, spending money = good for economy. Most Chinese don’t take Western festivals as seriously as their own. It’s like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).
Travis (UK)
As an Englishman teaching here in China for two years, my friends have got used to, and enjoy when I celebrate my festivals. My school also likes it as well, although this year they asked me not to scare the teachers so much on Halloween. My Chinese friends enjoy taking part in my festivals, as they also learn more about my culture, and the history that goes with it…
Leesinchina (US)
Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days — first, because they have absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture. Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you. Stick to your own festivals — they actually mean something to you — rather than following western customs for no good reason.
8. What matters most according to Dinah
A. The atmosphere when celebrating festivals.
B. The people with whom to celebrate festivals.
C. Celebrating Chinese festivals with her family.
D. Celebrating Western festivals in a good atmosphere.

In Xihu district, Hangzhou, among the mountains, lies a unique garden, with breathtaking views in the forests. This site, once an abandoned mine (矿场), was discovered in 2019 by landscape designers Yu Weizeng and Chai Rong.
Yu and Chai share a deep passion for the beauty of mountains and water, and a love for life itself. They and two other partners spent years working on it and managed to change it from a wasteland into an attractive garden.
“On fine days, we set up tents outside for camping together with friends. Gathering around a huge rock, we enjoy simple pleasures such as drinking coffee and playing the guitar. On rainy days, the sound of raindrops pattering against the surface of the pool creates a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. During full moon nights, we lie on the rocks, admiring the moonlight,” Yu says.
A key feature in the garden is a reflective water pool set in the main space. As the sun sets, its light bathe the cliff (峭壁) in various colors, with the mountain’s reflection mirrored in the pool.
“We aimed to bring nature even closer,” Yu says.
In a quiet corner of the garden, there’s a narrow entrance leading to a space where a thin upright window has been artfully placed. Outside the window, a red maple tree has been planted, offering a picturesque view.
“In the past, people lived in harmony with the natural world. They could step outside to see mountains and cross rivers. However, the rapid pace of urbanization (城市化) has disrupted this connection,” he says.
“Our approach involves using our technical talent to solve certain problems, and then allow nature to take its course,” Yu says.
12. Why did Yu and Chai keep on building the garden
A. They wanted to change the wasteland.
B. They both have a strong love for nature.
C. They intended to attract people to visit it.
D. They thought they could make money from it.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. What they see. B. What they do.
C. What they think. D. What they enjoy.
14. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 7
A. Cut off. B. Cut in. C. Cut up. D. Cut out.
15. Which of the following will Yu probably agree with
A. Man can defeat nature.
B. Man can change nature.
C. Man should be at one with nature.
D. Man should make the most of nature.

Long ago, in a city lived two boys, Ted and Nick. Ted was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and never did a day’s hard work. Nick was from a poor family, and often helped his parents when they were busy. Despite all of this, they always played with each other and had much fun. They became best friends.
As time went by, both of them grew up and went to different cities. Busy with their work and life, they didn’t have much time to meet each other and catch up.
One day, Nick fell seriously ill and had a fever. The doctor advised him to lie in bed, having a good rest. When Ted got to know it, he went to Nick’s house to meet him.
But with an important meeting to attend, he didn’t stay there for long and talk much with Nick. Instead he just took some money out of his pocket and gave it to his friend and left.
Nick felt very bad but didn’t say anything to him. After some time, Nick got well and worked hard to earn money day and night. He even found a part-time job.
Once Nick earned enough money, he went to Ted to return his money. Nick said, “Thank you for coming to see me when I was ill. And thank you for your money. Now I’ve earned enough.”
