Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了两位女孩在荡秋千比赛中的表现、赛况及开始这项比赛的渊源等内容。
1.C 细节理解题。由第一段中“‘I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,’ Hongtusi said. ‘It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training. Really regrettable!’”可知,洪图西对比赛结果感到遗憾,有点悲伤(blue)。故选C项。
2.C 推理判断题。由第二段“The swing, known as ‘dangqiuqian’ in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games(全国民族运动会) in 1986…with both singles and doubles events.”(荡秋千在中国很受欢迎,有着悠久的历史。1986年成为全国民族运动会的正式比赛项目,仅限女性参加的荡秋千比赛按重量类别分为55公斤以下及以上,并进一步分为高度比赛和触铃比赛,包括单人和双人赛。)和第三段“For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing…hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.”(在双人触铃比赛中,两名运动员面对面站在一个40厘米长、10厘米宽的秋千踏板上,摇荡着去碰铃杆,铃杆通常高7.2米,距离8.5米,悬挂在另一个秋千架下。在10分钟的比赛中触铃次数最多的运动员获胜。)可知,这两段介绍了荡秋千比赛的历史、比赛规则及项目分组等背景信息,所以这两段是为了补充有关比赛的背景资料的。故选C项。
3.B 细节理解题。由第二段中“Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games(全国民族运动会) in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.”可知,荡秋千比赛仅对女性开放。故选B项。
4.A 主旨大意题。由全文可知,本文讲述了两位女孩在荡秋千比赛中的表现、赛况及开始这项比赛的渊源等内容,A项“两个女孩在荡秋千比赛中大放异彩”是最合适的标题。故选A项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者通过一种创意的方式——每天写一张卡片记录家庭生活的点滴,从而改变了家里传统的庆祝除夕的方式,使得这个特殊的夜晚变得更加有意义和有趣。
1.F 空前“During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official countdown.”介绍了除夕一些人的庆祝方式,空格处应该继续讲还有什么庆祝方式,F选项“Some have exciting gatherings with family and friends.”(有些人与家人和朋友有令人兴奋的聚会。)介绍的也是人们的庆祝方式,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
2.G 空前“I didn’t have high hopes that I would keep up with this for a whole year.”说明作者觉得自己不能坚持写一年,空后“I kept writing and finally successfully wrote something on every card on every day of 2012.”说明作者写完了这些卡片,空格处应该说明作者开始写卡片,G选项“But for some reason, I was highly motivated to fill up those cards.”(但出于某种原因,我很有动力去写满那些卡片。)中的but表转折,说明作者虽然觉得自己不能坚持,但是还是去写了,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选G。
3.D 空前“We took turns in reading a whole month’s worth of cards before passing the box to the next person.”说明作者一家人读卡片上的内容,空格处应该也和读卡片有关,D选项“At midnight, we finished reading the 365 cards.”(午夜时分,我们读完了这365张卡片。)和读卡片有关,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选D。
4.E 空前“Others would say something important like…”说明了有的卡片会说一些重要的事情,空格处应该具体举出一个重要的事情的例子,E选项“Today, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.”(今天我们庆祝了结婚十周年纪念日。)举的就是一个重要的事情的例子,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选E。
5.A 空后“It’s a wonderful way for us to think about the year that has passed and look forward to the new year that begins at midnight. Besides, it brings us fun, preventing us dully spending New Year’s Eve. Moreover, it gathers us together and strengthens our bond.”说明写卡片这种方式的重要性,A选项“This family tradition is significant to us.”说明了这个家庭传统很重要,引出后文的具体的重要性,因此引起下文,符合语境,故选A。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是中国的春节。
1.an 考查冠词。根据空格后的单数名词heritage可知,空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”,intangible的发音是元音音素开头,所以用an。故填an。
2.importance 考查名词。根据空格前的stresses the festival’s可知,空格处应该用不可数名词importance作宾语。故填importance。
3.as 考查介词。(be) known as“被称作……”是固定搭配。故填as。
4.promotes 考查时态和主谓一致。句子描述客观情况,用一般现在时,主语是it,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填promotes。
5.deeply 考查副词。空格处修饰上文的动词value,作状语,应该用副词形式deeply。故填deeply。
6.making 考查非谓语动词。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语,表示自然而然的结果,所以应该用现在分词making作结果状语。故填making。
7.activities 考查名词复数。空格处与上文的family reunions, big meals并列作宾语,activity在此处是可数名词,应该用复数形式表示泛指。故填activities。
8.based 考查非谓语动词。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语,修饰空格前的名词traditions,名词traditions与动词base之间是被动关系,所以应该用过去分词based作后置定语。故填based。
9.To bring 考查非谓语动词。空格处作目的状语,应该用不定式形式,句首单词首字母大写。故填To bring。
10.which 考查定语从句。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词celebrations进行补充说明,从句中缺少主语,所以应该用关系代词which代替先行词,在从句中作主语。故填which。Period Two Reading and Thinking

[2025·江苏南通高一期末]
With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said. “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training. Really regrettable!”
The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games (全国民族运动会) in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7.2 metres high and 8.5 metres away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women’s doubles 55kg bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don’t be nervous, keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”
Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities sports games and then paired up for the Games this year. Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There’s no break during the 10-minute competition. There’s no space to relax. You have to train for a long time to adapt to the ropes; insistence, strength and physical fitness are all required,” explained Hongtusi. At last they got the third place.
( )1.How did Hongtusi feel after the competition
A.She had red eyes.
B.She was in the pink.
C.She felt a bit blue.
D.She was a green hand.
( )2.What is the purpose of Paragraphs 2 and 3
A.To introduce the rules of the competition.
B.To indicate the popularity of the competition.
C.To add background information to the competition.
D.To show the importance of cooperation in the competition.
( )3.What can we learn about the swing competition
A.It requires training from an early age.
B.It is open to women only.
C.It allows the participants to rest halfway.
D.It is the hardest of all the events.
( )4.What is the best title of this passage
A.Two girls, shining in a swing competition
B.Swing, a newly-added event to the National Ethnic Games
C.Two girls, bringing the swing to the world
D.Swing, a traditional sport in ethnic minorities

During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official countdown. 1. For my family, we preferred to spend a quiet evening at home, dully killing the time and trying to stay awake until midnight. This didn’t change until my friend gave me a gift years ago.
It was a box of 365 cards—one for each day of the year. The idea was to write on the cards daily as one would write in the journal. I decided to use the cards as a “family journal” with highlights of each day. I didn’t have high hopes that I would keep up with this for a whole year. 2. I kept writing and finally successfully wrote something on every card on every day of 2012.
On New Year’s Eve, my husband and sons were curious about what I had been writing all year. We decided we would start with the first card and read them all aloud together. We took turns in reading a whole month’s worth of cards before passing the box to the next person. 3.
Some cards would say something simple like, “We took a family walk after dinner tonight.” Others would say something important like, “4. ” As the cards were read, we would make comments like, “That was an amazing day.” After that evening, I continued writing on cards and on New Year’s Eve, we read them together.
5. It’s a wonderful way for us to think about the year that has passed and look forward to the new year that begins at midnight. Besides, it brings us fun, preventing us dully spending New Year’s Eve. Moreover, it gathers us together and strengthens our bond.
A.This family tradition is significant to us.
B.We had a terrible quarrel with each other.
C.Unfortunately, I have never kept a journal.
D.At midnight, we finished reading the 365 cards.
E.Today, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.
F.Some have exciting gatherings with family and friends.
G.But for some reason, I was highly motivated to fill up those cards.

With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai
and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final
score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I've never experienced
this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said. “It's super easy for us

The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in
China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official
competition event in the National Ethnic Games (全国民族运动会)
in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by
weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further
divided into height competitions and the bell-touching
competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes

of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually
stands 7.2 metres high and 8.5 metres away, hanging under
another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most
times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women's doubles 55kg
bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted
she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then
calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don't be nervous,
keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”

Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the
swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both
Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang's ethnic minorities
sports games and then paired up for the Games this year.
Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the
new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their
performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There's no
break during the 10-minute competition. There's no space to

［2025·湖北省荆州中学高一月考］
During New Year's Eve, some people travel to Times Square
for the official countdown. 1.___ For my family, we preferred to
spend a quiet evening at home, dully killing the time and trying
to stay awake until midnight. This didn't change until my friend
gave me a gift years ago.
It was a box of 365 cards—one for each day of the year.
The idea was to write on the cards daily as one would write in

the journal. I decided to use the cards as a “family journal” with
highlights of each day. I didn't have high hopes that I would
keep up with this for a whole year. 2.___ I kept writing and
finally successfully wrote something on every card on every day
of 2012.
On New Year's Eve, my husband and sons were curious
about what I had been writing all year. We decided we would
start with the first card and read them all aloud together. We
took turns in reading a whole month's worth of cards before
passing the box to the next person. 3.___

Some cards would say something simple like, “We took a
family walk after dinner tonight.” Others would say something
important like, “4.___” As the cards were read, we would make
comments like, “That was an amazing day.” After that evening, I
continued writing on cards and on New Year's Eve, we read
them together.
5.___ It's a wonderful way for us to think about the year
that has passed and look forward to the new year that begins
at midnight. Besides, it brings us fun, preventing us dully
spending New Year's Eve. Moreover, it gathers us together and
strengthens our bond.
