Ⅰ．阅读理解
A 篇(限时6分钟)
(2025·湖南长沙模拟)
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气)．Cold Dew (寒露)，the 17th solar term of the year，begins this year on Oct．8 and ends on Oct．22．At this time，the dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain．Autumn crops will be ripe．Here are three things you should know about Cold Dew．
Foggy autumn
Temperatures drop significantly in October．When the cold air encounters autumn rain，the abundant water vapor in the air soon reaches saturation (饱和状态)，and then it turns into fog．When the humidity is high，there will be foggy regions formed in many areas of China．
Season for fishing
People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn makes sense．That's because during the Cold Dew period，temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine doesn't reach deep water thoroughly．Fish swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high．
Season for drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine
Chrysanthemum is the iconic flower of Cold Dew．To prevent autumn dryness，many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine．This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival，which often falls around Cold Dew．According to ancient records，drinking wine made with chrysanthemums，poria cocos mushroom and pine oleoresin grants (给予) people long-lasting youth．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了人们应该知道的关于二十四节气中的寒露时节的三件事。
1．What is NOT the characteristic of Cold Dew？( )
A．Wet weather．
B．Low temperatures．
C．Foggy conditions．
D．Fully-grown crops．
A [细节理解题。根据第一段中“At this time，the dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain．Autumn crops will be ripe．”和Foggy autumn部分中“When the humidity is high，there will be foggy regions formed in many areas of China．”可知，寒露时节温度下降，雨水减少，多雾，庄稼将成熟，因此多雨的天气不是其特征。故选A项。]
2．Why is Cold Dew a time for fishing？( )
A．Because fish become mature in autumn．
B．Because fish move slowly in cold water．
C．Because fish eat more in low temperatures．
D．Because fish tend to gather in warm areas．
D [细节理解题。根据Season for fishing部分可知，寒露时节鱼会聚集在阳光能够照射到的温暖的浅水区，因此适合捕捞。故选D项。]
3．Which is the function of drinking chrysanthemum wine？( )
A．Celebrating Cold Dew．
B．Relieving people from autumn dryness．
C．Ensuring people a stronger build．
D．Keeping people warm in low temperatures．
B [细节理解题。根据Season for drinking chrysanthemum wine部分中“To prevent autumn dryness，many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine．”可知，寒露时节喝菊花酒是为了预防秋季干燥。故选B项。]
B 篇(限时7分钟)
(2024·安徽淮北模拟)
As a big country，China's economic and political influence is felt around the world．And its influence in education and culture has been growing too．The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia．By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts，Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners serving as bridges between nations．
During my childhood，I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture，a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as the Monkey King．At the time，the idea of studying this captivating region didn't occupy my mind．My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education．It was a decision—not only for academic growth，but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself．Taking the road that is less traveled means less company，less comfort．But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking．
Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons．I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful，but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture．The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience．I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute，such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts providing me with a first-hand experience of the culture．
If given another chance，I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me．Exploring renowned landmarks like the oriental Pearl Tower previously unvisited，felt like embarking on a new journey of discovery．I can say that along this path，I am gradually learning that valuable lessons are unfolded step by step．

4．What is the main function of the Confucius Institute in global cultural exchanges？( )

D．Serving as a platform for economic cooperation between countries．

D．Embracing Art：Beyond the Classroom
A [标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了作者从小就对亚洲文化感兴趣，参加当地孔子学院举办的中国传统节日活动，增长了对中国文化的了解。之后作者选择去中国继续深造，不仅是为了学业成长，也是为了体验一个人独立生活的责任感。走人迹罕至的路，用一种完全不同的视角来塑造自己的生活。因此最适合的标题是：少有人走的路。故选A。]
C 篇(限时7分钟)
(2024·湖南娄底模拟)
The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou's Taijiang County，where 97 percent of the 168，000 people there are from the ethnic(民族) Miao group．It is an ancient tradition，which brings men and women together through food，gifts and music．
In the days before the festival，young women gather leaves and wild flowers，which they use to dye sticky rice with bright colours．This brightly coloured rice，known as Sister Rice，gives the festival its name．During the festival，the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry．
The festival includes parades，horse races and musical performances．But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs．In one traditional type of song，a man and woman take turns singing to each other，and the first one to make a mistake loses the game．The loser must give the winner a gift，but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too．
After meeting the men，the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings．For example，a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man，while garlic shows that she is not interested．
One of several stories is about the festival's beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love．The girl's parents wanted her to marry her uncle's son as it was traditional at the time．She refused，and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else．For a time，they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket．Finally，the pair overcame their parents'opposition and were allowed to marry．
The Miao Sisters Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love．

(2025·安徽安庆模拟)
The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to an immigration (移民) wave in the 1900s．The Italian American tradition of the “Feast of the Seven Fishes”has appeared in movies and recently in the hit show The Bear．But talking of the origin，you'll get many different answers．The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve．
A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the 19th century．They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers．Friends and families found success and brought their loved ones to the U．S．Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it was plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy．Others say the sea represented Italian Americans'connection between their old and new homes．
Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven Fishes，which he later made into a 2019 movie．Growing up in North Central West Virginia，he fondly remembers his great grandmother organizing the Feast．After she died，his grandfather and other men in the family took over．That particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out of necessity：men came to America first，without their wives and daughters．
However，knowledge about where to shop，when to prepare，how to cook，the history behind the meal and family traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters，says Di Giovine，a professor at West Chester University of Pennsylvania．They are also likely the ones who have the final say in making changes to recipes．Over time，families often adjust the menu to make things easier，cheaper，more abundant，and more accommodating of dietary restrictions．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了意大利裔美国人的传统七鱼盛宴的历史、发展和相关知识。
1．What do we know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes？( )
A．It relates to a story of Italians．
B．It's made up of seven fishes．
C．It marks a vital historic event．
D．It's about Americans in Italy．
C [细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和第二段可知，七鱼盛宴标志着一个重要的历史事件。故选C。]
2．What does the underlined word “impoverished”in paragraph 2 probably mean？( )
A．Needy． B．Unfortunate．
C．Extended． D．Uneducated．
A [词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，这些来自意大利南部农村的移民去美国是因为那里有工作，可以挣钱，可见他们生活很贫困，结合画线词所在句可知，选择鱼作为食物是因为对这些贫困的家庭来说，大海里有着丰富的鱼，是比较容易获得的食材，所以impoverished应表示“贫困的”。故选A。]
3．What can we infer about Robert Tinnell from paragraph 3？( )
A．He loves fishes． B．He's an editor．

Pocket calendars are information planners that fit neatly into breast pocket found on the inside of a suit jacket． 1 The smaller size makes it possible to easily carry the calendar in a jacket pocket，a purse，or a computer bag or a briefcase without taking up much room．
The typical pocket calendar includes pages that are very similar to a wall calendar． 2 It also includes enough space to allow the user to write in notes on each date．Some calendars of this type will cover a total of fourteen months，making it possible to begin selling and using the calendar at the end of one year and for the entire following calendar year．
Many pocket calendars also serve as a day planner，and include other pages to record information such as phone numbers，and email addresses．These handy pocket planners and calendars keep a great deal of information in a small binding(装订)． 3
However，the arrival of digital technology has cut into the market for pocket calendars somewhat．All the same functions can be handled with calendar and planner software that are included in handheld devices such as cellular phones，and in software included on laptop computers． 4 So this makes them more attractive to people with busy lives．
5 Card and stationary shops still routinely carry several different brands and models of the pocket calendar．The diversity in materials used to create various brands of the pocket calendar makes it possible to purchase inexpensive types that are functional，or more elaborate and costly versions．
A．A full month will be laid out on one or two pages．
B．This allows us to make room for what's important．
C．There are countless applications for a Web calendar．
D．In appearance，a pocket calendar resembles a basic checkbook．
E．The pocket calendar still has no danger of disappearing any time soon．

Jonathan's mother died when he was very young and his father brought him up．Both of them shared a very special relationship．Football was not just a game for Jonathan；it was a bond between him and his father．Every match，regardless of whether he played or not，his father would be there，a constant source of firm support．
Though his size prevented him from joining the main team，Jonathan's determination burned brighter than ever．With each practice，he improved his skills，fueled by the belief that someday his perseverance would pay off．Despite the doubts cast upon him，he pushed forward，never allowing anything to make his passion disappear．
One day，as the sun cast long shadows on the field，the coach approached Jonathan with a telegram (电报) in hand．The weight of the message pressed heavily on the young man's heart as he read the words that forever changed his world．He swallowed hard and his voice shook as he turned to the coach．
“My father...he died this morning，”Jonathan uttered，his voice filled with sorrow．His body trembled with the weight of his sadness，threatening to consume him．Tears flooded his eyes，rolling down his cheeks．
The coach，understanding Jonathan's loss，enveloped him in a comforting embrace．The warmth of his arm around Jonathan's shoulder provided a temporary comfort．Softly，the coach spoke words of relief and understanding，giving Jonathan the time and space he needed to process his overwhelming sorrow．
“Take the rest of the week off，son，”the coach said gently，his voice filled with sympathy．“And don't even plan to come to the game on Saturday．Your well-being matters more than anything．”
On the day of the game，Jonathan's college team was losing badly to the opponent team．The coach and the players had all lost hope when they saw Jonathan coming towards them．Jonathan ran up to the coach and begged him to allow him to play this match．
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
At first，the coach wouldn't allow him to play．
After the match，the coach found Jonathan in the corner of the locker room．
【语篇解读】 本文话题为个人成长类。Jonathan和父亲相依为命，有一天足球教练告诉他父亲去世的消息，并要求他停赛一周休息，但Jonathan坚持参加比赛。

1．段落续写：①由第一段首句“起初，教练不允许他参加比赛。”可知，本段可以描述Jonathan说服教练让自己参加比赛，并通过自己和队员的努力赢得了比赛。
②由第二段首句“比赛结束后，教练在更衣室的角落里发现了Jonathan。”可知，本段可以描述教练问Jonathan这次获胜的秘诀，然后Jonathan解释是为了让在天堂的爸爸看到自己的比赛。
2．续写线索：教练让休息——主动说服教练并参赛——赢得比赛——教练问获胜秘诀——解释原因
【参考范文】
At first，the coach wouldn't allow him to play．However，after a lot of persuasion，the coach gave in．No sooner had Jonathan joined the team in the field than their scores started to improve until both teams were on a tie．However，the real cheer came during the crucial closing seconds when he stopped a pass and ran all the way for the winning goal．His team members were thrilled．The crowd came running towards him to celebrate the win．
After the match，the coach found Jonathan in the corner of the locker room．He asked，“Kid，I can't believe it．You were fantastic！Tell me what got into you How did you do it？”He looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well，you knew my dad died，but did you know that my dad was blind？”The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile，“Dad came to all my games，but today was the first time he could see me play，and I wanted to show him I could do it！”

The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to an immigration (移民) wave in the 1900s．The Italian American tradition of the“Feast of the Seven Fishes”has appeared in movies and recently in the hit show The Bear．But talking of the origin，you'll get many different answers．The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve．
A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the 19th century．They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers．Friends and families found success and brought their loved ones to the U．S．Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it was plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy．Others say the sea represented Italian Americans'connection between their old and new homes．
Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven Fishes，which he later made into a 2019 movie．Growing up in North Central West Virginia，he fondly remembers his great grandmother organizing the Feast．After she died，his grandfather and other men in the family took over．That particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out of necessity：men came to America first，without their wives and daughters．
However，knowledge about where to shop，when to prepare，how to cook，the history behind the meal and family traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters，says Di Giovine，a professor at West Chester University of Pennsylvania．They are also likely the ones who have the final say in making changes to recipes．Over time，families often adjust the menu to make things easier，cheaper，more abundant，and more accommodating of dietary restrictions．
1．What do we know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes？( )
A．It relates to a story of Italians．
B．It's made up of seven fishes．
C．It marks a vital historic event．
D．It's about Americans in Italy．
2．What does the underlined word“impoverished”in paragraph 2 probably mean？( )
A．Needy． B．Unfortunate．
C．Extended． D．Uneducated．
3．What can we infer about Robert Tinnell from paragraph 3？( )
A．He loves fishes． B．He's an editor．
C．He's emotional． D．He teaches writing．
4．What can be the best title for the text？( )
A．A Fish-making Method
B．A Festival Tradition
C．A Cookery Book

The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气)．Cold Dew (寒露)，the 17th solar term of the year，begins this year on Oct．8 and ends on Oct．22．At this time，the dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain．Autumn crops will be ripe．Here are three things you should know about Cold Dew．
Foggy autumn
Temperatures drop significantly in October．When the cold air encounters autumn rain，the abundant water vapor in the air soon reaches saturation (饱和状态)，and then it turns into fog．When the humidity is high，there will be foggy regions formed in many areas of China．
Season for fishing
People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn makes sense．That's because during the Cold Dew period，temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine doesn't reach deep water thoroughly．Fish swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high．
Season for drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine
Chrysanthemum is the iconic flower of Cold Dew．To prevent autumn dryness，many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine．This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival，which often falls around Cold Dew．According to ancient records，drinking wine made with chrysanthemums，poria cocos mushroom and pine oleoresin grants (给予) people long-lasting youth．
1．What is NOT the characteristic of Cold Dew？( )
A．Wet weather．
B．Low temperatures．
C．Foggy conditions．
D．Fully-grown crops．
2．Why is Cold Dew a time for fishing？( )
A．Because fish become mature in autumn．
B．Because fish move slowly in cold water．
C．Because fish eat more in low temperatures．
D．Because fish tend to gather in warm areas．
3．Which is the function of drinking chrysanthemum wine？( )
A．Celebrating Cold Dew．
B．Relieving people from autumn dryness．
C．Ensuring people a stronger build．
D．Keeping people warm in low temperatures．

As a big country，China's economic and political influence is felt around the world．And its influence in education and culture has been growing too．The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia．By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts，Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners serving as bridges between nations．
During my childhood，I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture，a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as the Monkey King．At the time，the idea of studying this captivating region didn't occupy my mind．My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education．It was a decision—not only for academic growth，but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself．Taking the road that is less traveled means less company，less comfort．But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking．
Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons．I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful，but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture．The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience．I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute，such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts providing me with a first-hand experience of the culture．
If given another chance，I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me．Exploring renowned landmarks like the oriental Pearl Tower previously unvisited，felt like embarking on a new journey of discovery．I can say that along this path，I am gradually learning that valuable lessons are unfolded step by step．
4．What is the main function of the Confucius Institute in global cultural exchanges？( )
A．Offering language courses with a very small fee．
B．Fostering international understanding of Chinese culture．
C．Promoting Chinese tourism and business opportunities abroad．
D．Serving as a platform for economic cooperation between countries．
5．What makes the author decide on further education in China？( )
A．The TV drama the Monkey King．
B．The Asian cultural fascination．
C．The desire for whole-person growth．
D．The dream to study in a foreign place．
6．Why does the author share her experience with the Mid-Autumn Festival？( )
A．To highlight the challenges of living abroad．
B．To encourage others to participate in local festivals．
C．To criticize the traditional classroom language learning．
D．To emphasize interactive learning in cultural understanding．
7．Which is the most suitable title for the text？( )
A．The Path Less Traveled
B．Language as a Bridge to Culture
C．Guide to Studying Abroad in China
D．Embracing Art：Beyond the Classroom

The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou's Taijiang County，where 97 percent of the 168，000 people there are from the ethnic(民族) Miao group．It is an ancient tradition，which brings men and women together through food，gifts and music．
In the days before the festival，young women gather leaves and wild flowers，which they use to dye sticky rice with bright colours．This brightly coloured rice，known as Sister Rice，gives the festival its name．During the festival，the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry．
The festival includes parades，horse races and musical performances．But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs．In one traditional type of song，a man and woman take turns singing to each other，and the first one to make a mistake loses the game．The loser must give the winner a gift，but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too．
After meeting the men，the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings．For example，a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man，while garlic shows that she is not interested．
One of several stories is about the festival's beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love．The girl's parents wanted her to marry her uncle's son as it was traditional at the time．She refused，and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else．For a time，they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket．Finally，the pair overcame their parents'opposition and were allowed to marry．
The Miao Sisters Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love．
8．What is the purpose of young women collecting leaves and wild flowers？( )
A．To decorate their rooms．
B．To sell them and make money．
C．To give sticky rice different colours．
D．To cover some objects in a basket．
9．Which of the following is NOT the activity taking place in the festival ( )
A．Water skiing． B．Horse races．
C．Parades． D．Singing songs．
10．What can we learn from the passage？( )
A．A woman often loses the game．
B．A hidden pair of chopsticks suggests good things．
C．The winner need not send a gift．
D．Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman．
11．What will be the best title for this passage？( )
