A
It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.
1. What is special about Holiday World
A. It provides free food. B. It owns the latest ride technology.
C. It belongs to an individual. D. It creates the exciting atmosphere.
2. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times
A. Holiday World. B. Lake Compounce.
C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure.
3. Why does Islands of Adventure differ from Magic Kingdom
A. It is divided into different lands. B. It plays many famous movies.
C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience.
B
Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
4. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
5. What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
6. Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.
C
Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (远足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.
8 What can be learned about Zach Beattie
A. He set up his business at his own expense.
B. He is always guiding every trip personally.
C He forbids tourists to take along cellphones.
D. He used to earn his living in a tour company.
9. What do we know about the Lisbon trip
A. The trip features sightseeing.
B. Participants live in homestays.
C. Air ticket is covered in the cost.
D. Tourists experience water sports.
10. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do
A. Lock their phones in a trunk.
B. Post their photos on social media.
C. Free themselves from their phones.
D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones.
11. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone
A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet.
C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members.
D
Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
12. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
13. What did the two students suggest the daughter do
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
14. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
15. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
第二节 （共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.
Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity.
___20___ As long as you adopt proper manners good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.
A. It may be easier said than done.
B. Become aware of your own body language, too.
C. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.
D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.
E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.
F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.
G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.

第三节 （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。
A little boy selling newspapers for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and in poor condition and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passersby but simply just looked at them in a bad mood.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
The boy lingered (逗留) on until the night fell, hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the newspapers. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these newspapers and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (雕像) on the fireplace mantel (壁炉). “Do you collect dog figurines ” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the old man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a newspaper here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door, saying, “No, boy. I don’t need any newspapers of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he had got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
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。
The little boy went back to the old man’s house.

Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.

Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
4. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
5. What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
6 Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
C
Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (远足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.
8. What can be learned about Zach Beattie
A. He set up his business at his own expense.
B. He is always guiding every trip personally.
C. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones.
D. He used to earn his living in a tour company.
9. What do we know about the Lisbon trip
A. The trip features sightseeing.
B. Participants live in homestays.
C. Air ticket is covered in the cost.
D. Tourists experience water sports.
10. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do
A. Lock their phones in a trunk.
B. Post their photos on social media.
C. Free themselves from their phones.
D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones.
11. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone
A Take photos. B. Access the Internet.
C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
D
Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
12. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
13. What did the two students suggest the daughter do
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
14. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
15. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.
Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity.
___20___ As long as you adopt proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.
A. It may be easier said than done.
B. Become aware of your own body language, too.
C. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.
D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.
E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.
F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.
G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D

42. 微笑可以打破障碍。（汉译英）
【答案】A smile can break down barriers.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。描述一个客观的事实，用一般现在时；“微笑”是a smile作主语，“打破”是固定短语break down，“障碍”是barriers，名词复数作宾语，故翻译成A smile can break down barriers.
43. 人们在对某个事物感兴趣时，往往会身体前倾。(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in.
【解析】

44. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. (英译汉)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车，别有一番趣味。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分。分析句子可知，本句为主系表结构，Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States表“乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车”，为动名词短语，在本句中作主语，其中working in the southeastern United States(美国东南部一辆仍在运转的)，为现在分词作后置定语； a special treat表“别有一番趣味”，为名词短语作表语。故翻译为：乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车，别有一番趣味。
45. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. （英译汉）
【答案】关键是使用肢体语言的方式要适合你所处的文化。

第三节 （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。
A little boy selling newspapers for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and in poor condition and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passersby but simply just looked at them in a bad mood.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
The boy lingered (逗留) on until the night fell, hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the newspapers. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these newspapers and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (雕像) on the fireplace mantel (壁炉). “Do you collect dog figurines ” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the old man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a newspaper here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door, saying, “No, boy. I don’t need any newspapers of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he had got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
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。
The little boy went back to the old man’s house.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, something changed inside the old man.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
The little boy went back to the old man’s house. He arrived at the old man’s doorway with fear in his heart but he got up the courage to knock on the door. Finally, the door opened. Seeing the boy for the second time, the old man didn’t control his anger and cried, “I’ve told you that I need no newspapers at all!” “Er… sir. I just come to give you a gift,” said the little boy, slowly taking the dog figurine out of his pocket. Taking the figurine from the boy’s hand, the lonely soul was so astonished that he could say nothing, with tears in his eyes. A feeling of gratitude welled up inside him. In return, he bought some newspapers from the boy.
From that day on, something changed inside the old man. The neighbors saw the old man not always stay at home but often hang out and greet with a bright smile, showing his happiness. He often invited children who were willing to play with him in his house and showed them his figurine collections. People living in the neighborhood started to like the old man and make friends with him. The old man realized the true spirit of life and enjoyed the warmth of love.

It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.
1. What is special about Holiday World
A. It provides free food. B. It owns the latest ride technology.
C. It belongs to an individual. D. It creates the exciting atmosphere.
2. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times
A. Holiday World. B. Lake Compounce.
C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure.
3. Why does Islands of Adventure differ from Magic Kingdom
A. It is divided into different lands. B. It plays many famous movies.
C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience.
B
Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.

Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (远足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.

Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
12. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
13. What did the two students suggest the daughter do
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
14. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
15. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.
Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity.
___20___ As long as you adopt proper manners good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.
A. It may be easier said than done.
B. Become aware of your own body language, too.
C. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.
D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.
E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.
F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.
G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.

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。
A little boy selling newspapers for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and in poor condition and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passersby but simply just looked at them in a bad mood.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
The boy lingered (逗留) on until the night fell, hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the newspapers. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these newspapers and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (雕像) on the fireplace mantel (壁炉). “Do you collect dog figurines ” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the old man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a newspaper here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door, saying, “No, boy. I don’t need any newspapers of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he had got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
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。
The little boy went back to the old man’s house.

A
It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.
1. What is special about Holiday World
A. It provides free food. B. It owns the latest ride technology.
C. It belongs to an individual. D. It creates the exciting atmosphere.
2. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times
A. Holiday World. B. Lake Compounce.
C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure.
3. Why does Islands of Adventure differ from Magic Kingdom
A. It is divided into different lands. B. It plays many famous movies.
C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D
B
Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
4. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
5. What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
6 Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.

It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.
Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity.
___20___ As long as you adopt proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.
A. It may be easier said than done.
B. Become aware of your own body language, too.
C. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.
D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.
E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.
F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.
G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.

第一节 英汉互译（共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分）
42. 微笑可以打破障碍。（汉译英）
【答案】A smile can break down barriers.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。描述一个客观的事实，用一般现在时；“微笑”是a smile作主语，“打破”是固定短语break down，“障碍”是barriers，名词复数作宾语，故翻译成A smile can break down barriers.
43. 人们在对某个事物感兴趣时，往往会身体前倾。(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和让步状语从句。分析句子可知，这里时态应用一般现在时表客观情况。表示“（人们）往往会身体前倾”应用people have a tendency to lean towards，其中have a tendency to ，表“有……的趋势”； lean towards，表“倾向于”，均为固定搭配；表示“（人们在）对某个事物感兴趣时”可用whatever they are interested in，为让步状语从句，其中whatever作从句中宾语。故翻译为People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in.
44. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. (英译汉)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车，别有一番趣味。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分。分析句子可知，本句为主系表结构，Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States表“乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车”，为动名词短语，在本句中作主语，其中working in the southeastern United States(美国东南部一辆仍在运转的)，为现在分词作后置定语； a special treat表“别有一番趣味”，为名词短语作表语。故翻译为：乘坐美国东南部唯一一辆至今仍在运转的蒸汽火车，别有一番趣味。
45. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. （英译汉）
【答案】关键是使用肢体语言的方式要适合你所处的文化。

第三节 （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。
A little boy selling newspapers for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and in poor condition and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passersby but simply just looked at them in a bad mood.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
The boy lingered (逗留) on until the night fell, hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the newspapers. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these newspapers and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (雕像) on the fireplace mantel (壁炉). “Do you collect dog figurines ” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the old man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a newspaper here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door, saying, “No, boy. I don’t need any newspapers of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he had got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
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。
The little boy went back to the old man’s house.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, something changed inside the old man.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
The little boy went back to the old man’s house. He arrived at the old man’s doorway with fear in his heart but he got up the courage to knock on the door. Finally, the door opened. Seeing the boy for the second time, the old man didn’t control his anger and cried, “I’ve told you that I need no newspapers at all!” “Er… sir. I just come to give you a gift,” said the little boy, slowly taking the dog figurine out of his pocket. Taking the figurine from the boy’s hand, the lonely soul was so astonished that he could say nothing, with tears in his eyes. A feeling of gratitude welled up inside him. In return, he bought some newspapers from the boy.
From that day on, something changed inside the old man. The neighbors saw the old man not always stay at home but often hang out and greet with a bright smile, showing his happiness. He often invited children who were willing to play with him in his house and showed them his figurine collections. People living in the neighborhood started to like the old man and make friends with him. The old man realized the true spirit of life and enjoyed the warmth of love.
