A
Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions in our life. It’s not easy to choose a job we like and are good at. Career talks can help us a lot with this decision.
Last month, our school held a big career talk in the school hall. Many people from different jobs came, such as engineers, artists, scientists and police officers. They shared their daily work and what skills we need for their jobs. An engineer told us we need to be good at math and physics to be an engineer. An artist said we need to practice drawing every day and be creative. A police officer told us we need to be strong, brave and ready to help people.
This career talk was very useful. It made us know more about different jobs. We also learned that no matter what career we choose, hard work and persistence are the most important. If we work hard, we can be successful in any career.
21．Why is choosing a career important
A．Because it’s an easy decision.
B．Because it’s a big decision in our life.
C．Because all students have the same dream job.
D．Because teachers can choose for us.
22．Who was NOT invited to the school’s career talk
A．An engineer. B．A writer. C．A scientist. D．A police officer.
23．What skills do you need to be an engineer
A．Be good at math and physics. B．Practice drawing every day.
C．Be strong and brave. D．Be good at speaking.
24．What is the most important for a successful career
A．Good looks. B．Much money.
C．Hard work and persistence. D．Good luck.
25．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Different people have different jobs.
B．Career talks help us choose future careers.
C．How to be a successful scientist.
D．What an engineer’s daily work is like.
B
When we speak of “growing pains”, we often focus on the negative—the conflicts, the confusion, the insecurity. But what if we reframed our perspective What if the “pain” is not an obstacle to growing up, but rather its very engine
Consider the process of physical growth. A child’s growth spurts(猛长期)are often accompanied by aches in the legs. The discomfort is not a sign that something is wrong; it is a direct result of the bones lengthening. Similarly, the emotional and psychological growing pains we experience—the arguments with parents, the heartbreaks from friendships, the anxiety about the future—are not signs of failure. They are symptoms of our minds expanding, our values forming, and our independence asserting itself.
The gain, therefore, is not something that happens after the pain. It is embedded(嵌入)within it. The teenager who argues with their parents learns to negotiate and advocate for themselves. The student who fails an exam discovers new study methods and resilience. The child who feels left out develops empathy for others who are lonely. These gains are not consolation prizes for surviving the pain; they are the very skills and qualities that the pain cultivates.
Thus, growing pains and gains are not two separate stages but two sides of the same coin. To grow is to experience the discomfort of change. And in that discomfort lies the seed of strength, wisdom, and character. Perhaps, then, the goal is not to avoid the pain, but to recognize it for what it is: the undeniable evidence that we are, indeed, growing.
26．What is the author’s main argument in this passage
A．Growing pains are negative and should be avoided.
B．Physical and emotional pains are completely different.
C．Growing pains are necessary and valuable parts of development.
D．Only children experience real growing pains.
27．Why does the author mention “growth spurts” in children
A．To show that physical pain is more serious than emotional pain.
B．To use it as an analogy to explain the purpose of emotional growing pains.
C．To prove that doctors can solve all growth problems.
D．To describe a common medical condition in teenagers.
28．The word “resilience” in paragraph 3 most likely means ________.
A．the ability to become strong again after difficulty
B．a feeling of being very sad
C．the skill of taking exams
D．a plan for the future
29．What can we infer from the phrase “two sides of the same coin”
A．Pain and gain are opposite and never connected.
B．Pain and gain are inseparable parts of the same experience.
C．Growing up is like a game of chance.
D．Money is important for solving problems.
30．What is the author’s tone in this passage
A．Humorous and light-hearted. B．Sad and pessimistic.
C．Philosophical and encouraging. D．Angry and critical.
C
My dad is a man of few words. While other parents chat endlessly, he often communicates with silence. When I showed him my first-place medal from the school science fair, he just nodded slightly and said, “Good.” I felt a bit disappointed. I wanted a big celebration.
When I was struggling with a difficult math problem, he would sit beside me, not saying anything, just watching me try. I used to think he didn’t care. I thought his silence meant indifference (漠不关心).
However, as I grow older, I’m beginning to see his silence differently. Last month, I had a fight with my best friend. I came home and cried in my room. My dad knocked and came in. He didn’t ask any questions. He simply sat on the edge of my bed, placed his large, rough hand on my back, and stayed there for what felt like an hour. In that silence, I felt a deep sense of safety and love that words could not have provided.
I now understand that his silence is not empty. It is full of trust, patience, and respect. He trusts me to find my own answers. His “good” after the science fair wasn’t indifference; it was a quiet acknowledgment that my achievement was expected because he already knew my ability. The growing pain was learning to decode (解码) his love. The gain is finally understanding it.
31．What does the writer think of his father’s silence now
A．It is a sign of disappointment. B．It is a way to show trust and love.
C．It is because he doesn’t know what to say. D．It makes him feel lonely.
32．Why did the writer feel disappointed after the science fair
A．Because he didn’t win first place.
B．Because his father didn’t give him a big celebration.
C．Because his father said his work was not good.
D．Because his father didn’t come to the fair.
33．The underlined word “acknowledgment” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．a criticism B．a celebration C．a recognition D．a question
34．What can we infer from the father’s behavior when the writer was crying
A．The father is not good at expressing feelings with words.
B．The father was angry about the fight.
C．The father wanted to punish the writer.
D．The father thought crying was a sign of weakness.
35．How does the author’s attitude towards his father’s silence change throughout the passage
A．From grateful to confused.
B．From understanding to misunderstanding.
C．From disappointed and confused to understanding and appreciative.
D．From angry to indifferent.

When my son was three years old, the doctor told us he might be mentally disabled. The whole world seemed to have collapsed around us. I didn’t know what 51 (do) or what my son would become. All I could do every day was cry.
As the years passed, however, I accepted 52 (I) son for who he was. I got to realize he was gentle and 53 (help). He laughed 54 (easy). He often handed out hugs and love.

Yes, my son may be limited in the eyes of others, 58 he is limitless in my eyes. So far he 59 (share) more love, joy, laughter and light in this world than I ever could. And 60 I had one wish, it would be that everyone could love as freely and happily as he does.

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在成长过程中梦想职业的变化，以及为了实现记者梦所付出的努力与收获的成长，表达了成长伴随着痛苦与收获，并为未来不懈奋斗的信念。
11．成长是一段既有痛苦也有收获的旅程，也是我们开始思考未来职业的时候。

根据“that can make a difference to the world”可知，这是一份“有意义的”工作，应选用meaningful；meaningless表示“无意义的”，boring表示“无聊的”，tiring表示“累人的”，均不符合。
14．首先，我需要提高我的写作技能。
根据“I keep a diary every day and practice writing articles.”可知，作者通过日常练习来“提高”写作技能，应选用improve；forget表示“忘记”，lose表示“失去”，show表示“展示”，均不符合。

本文主要介绍了职业选择的重要性，并通过描述学校职业讲座分享了不同职业所需的技能以及成功的关键要素，强调了此类讲座对学生规划未来的指导作用。
21．第一段首句指出职业选择的重要性：“Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions in our life.”，这直接说明选择职业是人生中的重大决定。
22．第二段明确列举了受邀参加讲座的职业：“Many people from different jobs came, such as engineers, artists, scientists and police officers.”，其中并未提及作家。
23．第二段第三句明确指出成为工程师的技能要求：“An engineer told us we need to be good at math and physics to be an engineer.”，这直接说明需要擅长数学和物理。
24．第三段总结了成功的核心要素：“We also learned that…hard work and persistence are the most important.”，这说明无论从事何种职业，努力和坚持才是最重要的。
25．文章开头引出话题并指出“Career talks can help us a lot…”，随后详述了讲座内容及其带来的益处，全文高度概括了职业讲座在帮助学生了解职业、规划未来方面的积极作用。
26．C 27．B 28．A 29．B 30．C
这篇文章重新定义了 “成长的烦恼”：它并非成长路上的阻碍，而是推动我们蜕变的动力。
26．根据第一、二、四段中“What if the ‘pain’ is not an obstacle to growing up, but rather its very engine ”“They are symptoms of our minds expanding, our values forming, and our independence asserting itself.”“growing pains and gains are not two separate stages but two sides of the same coin...the undeniable evidence that we are, indeed, growing.”可知，成长痛是成长路上必要且珍贵的部分。
27．根据第二段中“Similarly, the emotional and psychological growing pains we experience—are not signs of failure. They are symptoms of our minds expanding...”可知，作者用儿童猛长期的腿部疼痛（骨骼生长的结果）类比心理成长的烦恼，说明情绪上的痛苦并非失败，而是成长的表现，以此解释心理成长烦恼的意义。
28．根据第三段中“The student who fails an exam discovers new study methods and resilience.” resilience 与 “新学习方法” 并列，是失利后获得的积极品质，指“在困境后恢复、变得更强的能力”。
29．根据第四段中“Thus, growing pains and gains are not two separate stages but two sides of the same coin.”，短语“two sides of the same coin”比喻事物的两个方面不可分割，文中指成长的痛苦与收获并非先后阶段，而是同一经历中不可分离的部分。
30．全文重新定义成长的烦恼，结尾呼吁“the goal is not to avoid the pain, but to recognize it for what it is: the undeniable evidence that we are, indeed, growing.”。作者以思辨的视角探讨成长的本质，语气沉稳且充满正向引导，既富有哲理性又能鼓励读者正视痛苦。
31．B 32．B 33．C 34．A 35．C
本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过回忆与父亲相处的几个片段，从最初误解父亲的沉默为“冷漠”，到逐渐理解沉默背后是信任、耐心和爱，最终领悟到父亲用无声的方式表达着深沉的爱，展现了作者对父爱认知的转变过程。
31．最后一段明确提到：“I now understand that his silence is not empty. It is full of trust, patience, and respect.”，这直接说明父亲的沉默是表达信任和爱的方式。
32．第一段提到：“When I showed him my first-place medal... he just nodded slightly and said, ‘Good.’ I felt a bit disappointed. I wanted a big celebration.”，这说明作者失望是因为父亲没有给予他期待的盛大庆祝。
33．最后一段中，“His ‘good’ after the science fair wasn’t indifference; it was a quiet acknowledgment that my achievement was expected because he already knew my ability.”，“acknowledgment”在此处表示“承认、认可”。
34．第三段提到：“My dad knocked and came in. He didn’t ask any questions. He simply sat on the edge of my bed, placed his large, rough hand on my back, and stayed there for what felt like an hour.”，父亲没有用语言询问或安慰，而是用行动陪伴，这说明他不擅长用语言表达情感。
35．文章开头作者因父亲的沉默“felt a bit disappointed”，并认为“his silence meant indifference”；后来作者“beginning to see his silence differently”，最后“finally understanding it”，并体会到沉默中的爱，态度从最初的失望、误解转变为理解、感激。
36．was given
——你的手机真酷！——谢谢，那是作为生日礼物送给我的。根据“It...to me as a birthday present.”可知，“It”与其后动词的关系是被动关系，动作发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为was/were+动词过去分词，应填was given。
37． is operated
这台机器如何操作？疑问句结构：How + be动词 + 主语 + 过去分词 主语this machine 是第三人称单数，be动词用is。“操作”用operate，此处为被动语态，用过去分词operated。故填is；operated。
38．is used
英语在许多领域被用作国际语言。English和use是被动关系，English是单数，作主语，用一般现在时被动语态“is used”。
39．was taken
老人被警察送去医院。句子主语“The old man”与动词“take”是被动关系，因此要用被动语态，结构为“be + 过去分词”。“送医院”是已发生的动作，用一般过去时。主语“The old man”是单数，所以be动词用“was”，“take”的过去分词是“taken”。故填was taken。
40．were made
这些玩具去年是在中国制造的。句中时间状语“last year”提示动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时；且主语“These toys”与动词make之间为被动关系，需用被动语态。一般过去时的被动语态was/were + 过去分词，由于主语为复数形式，be动词用were，动词make的过去分词为made。
41．term
新学期在九月份开学。表示“学期”的单词是“term”，因为此句指某个新学期，需用“term”可数名词的单数。此处用“term”。
42．p.m.
我在下午六点完成我的家庭作业。空处需填表示时间的名词，p.m.“下午”。
43．promise
请遵守你的承诺。根据中文提示可知，“承诺”对应的英文是promise，是可数名词，此处作keep的宾语，your后接名词单数。
44．peers
我们应该帮助我们的同龄人。peer“同龄人”，为可数名词，此处表示泛指我们的同龄人，应用复数形式peers。
45．attitude
每个人都有自己的态度。attitude“态度”，名词作宾语。
46． benefit from
根据中英文对照可知，此处缺“从……中受益”，英文表达为“benefit from”，情态动词can后接动词原形。故填benefit；from。
47． make/give a speech
原句中“发表一个演讲”是关键词，表示“发表一个演讲”的短语是make/give a speech。本句为一般将来时，will后接动词原形。
48． to buy
原句中“需要买”为关键信息，“需要做某事”对应固定搭配need to do sth.，“买”对应动词buy，故填to; buy。
49． pick up
根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“捡起”。“pick up”是固定短语，意为“捡起，拾起”。同时，“be sure to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“一定要做某事”，to后接动词原形。故填pick；up。
50． in a low voice
根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“声音低”。空格位于动词speaks之后，作方式状语，表示“以低的声音”，应用介词短语in a low voice。故填in；a；low；voice。
51．to do 52．my 53．helpful 54．easily 55．heart 56．from 57．a 58．but 59．has shared 60．if
本文讲述了作者的儿子虽然可能存在智力障碍，但性格温柔、乐于助人，给周围人带来很多积极影响，作者为儿子感到骄傲，并希望每个人都能像儿子一样自由快乐地去爱。
51．我不知道该做什么，也不知道我的儿子会变成什么样。“what to do”是“疑问词+动词不定式”结构，在句中作“know”的宾语，表示“不知道该做什么”。
52．然而，随着岁月的流逝，我接受了我的儿子原本的样子。“son”是名词，前面要用形容词性物主代词my来修饰，表示“我的儿子”。
53．我开始意识到他很温柔且乐于助人。此处与“gentle”并列作表语，应用形容词helpful，表示“乐于助人的”。
54．他很容易笑。此处修饰动词“laughed”，应用副词easily，表示“容易地”。
55．他触动了几乎每一个他遇到的人的心。heart表示“心”，此处根据语境，他触动的是每一个遇到的人的心，用单数形式即可。
56．当他最终从高中毕业时，“graduate from”是固定短语，表示“从……毕业”，所以这里用from。
57．他在一家庇护工场得到了一份工作，以便他能继续帮助别人。“job”是可数名词单数，且此处表示泛指“一份工作”，“job”以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。
58．是的，在别人眼里我的儿子可能是有限的，但在我眼里他是无限的。前后句是转折关系，应用“but”连接。
59．到目前为止，他在这个世界上分享的爱、欢乐、笑声和光明比我所能分享的还要多。“so far”表示“到目前为止”，是现在完成时的标志词，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语“he”是第三人称单数，所以用has shared。
60．如果我有一个愿望，那就是每个人都能像他一样自由快乐地去爱。此处表示假设，应用“if”引导条件状语从句，意思是“如果”。
61．Dear Ben,
I’m glad to receive your email. I’d like to tell you about my career dream and my growing pains and gains.
My career dream is to be an English teacher. I love kids and I want to pass knowledge to them. I once had a growing pain—I was afraid of speaking English and dared not talk in class. With my teacher’s encouragement, I practiced speaking every day. Now I can speak bravely in class. My English has improved a lot and I become more confident.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Na
