The Water Quest: Mission 3025
In the year 3025, Earth was running out of water. 51. Four friends—
Lila, Zane, Kai, and Ava—formed a team called "The Aqua Explorers" to find a
solution.
52. "Comets are made of ice! If we can bring some to Earth, we can
solve the water problem!" he said.
The team quickly got to work. Kai suggested they send a spaceship to collect the
comet ice. 53. Lila built a special machine to get water from the air, but
they knew they needed more. With the help of a group of scientists, the Aqua
Explorers built a rocket to collect water from comets. 54.
On launch day, the kids were excited and ready. "We can do this!" Kai cheered.
55. The Aqua Explorers brought the comet ice back to Earth, saving
New Hope's water supply and changing the future of the planet.
A. One day, Zane had a great idea.
B. The mission was tough, but it worked!
C. New Hope was one of the last places with enough clean water.
D. Ava started working on how to safely bring the ice back to Earth.
E. They created a special container to slowly melt the ice into water as it
travelled back.

51.C 52.A 53.D 54.E 55.B

【分析】
这是一篇故事类阅读补全题，解题时首先通读全文，梳理出"3025年地球缺水→四位少年组队想办法→分工筹备彗星取水计划→最终成功完成任务"的完整叙事脉络，再逐个匹配空处的前后文逻辑：1. 优先关注空前后的内容关联，比如指代关系、人物对应、情节先后顺序；2. 排除不符合上下文逻辑的选项，逐一验证每个选项的适配性，确保整个故事逻辑连贯通顺。
【解析】
51. 空前句点明3025年地球水资源即将耗尽，C选项"New Hope是仅剩的拥有充足洁净水资源的地方之一"承接地球缺水的大背景，自然引出后文四人组队寻找解决方案的情节，选C。
52. 空后句直接引出人物提出"彗星由冰构成，可以取冰解决水问题"的想法，A选项"有一天Zane想到了一个绝妙的主意"刚好引出后文的具体想法，且后文的he对应男性人名Zane，逻辑匹配，选A。
53. 前文刚提到Kai提出派飞船收集彗星冰的设想，后文又提到Lila制作特殊的空气取水装置，按照四位队员分工推进的叙事逻辑，此处对应剩下的队员Ava的工作，D选项"Ava开始研究如何将冰安全带回地球"完全符合叙事顺序，选D。
54. 空前句说明团队在科学家协助下建造了用于彗星取水的火箭，接下来要补充取水任务的配套准备工作，E选项"他们制作了特殊容器，在返程途中可以将冰慢慢融化为水"承接造火箭的筹备环节，完善了任务的准备细节，选E。
55. 空前句描述发射日大家满怀信心的状态，空后句点明团队成功带回彗星冰、拯救地球供水的最终结果，B选项"任务十分艰巨，但最终成功了"起到承上启下的过渡作用，衔接发射环节和最终的圆满结局，选B。
【答案】
51.C 52.A 53.D 54.E 55.B
【知识点】
语篇逻辑衔接，上下文细节匹配
【点评】
本题属于故事类阅读补全题型，整体叙事线索清晰，主要考察学生对记叙文情节脉络的梳理能力，解题时抓住人物分工、情节先后的对应关系就能快速匹配正确选项，难度较低，适合巩固语篇阅读的逻辑分析能力。

五、写作(共三节,满分30分)
第一节 用方框中的词语完成短文(每小题1分,共5分)
eventually, drops, forms, journey, trade
As we study water on other planets, we find that Earth is special. It's not just
because it has water, but also because of water's different and plentiful movements
across the planet. Water goes on a 56. ! It starts as 57. in the
ocean, rises into steam in the air, and 58. falls back down as rain or snow.
Without water in its liquid and gas 59. , such as in the oceans and in
the air, there would be no soil for plants to grow, no animals or humans, and no way
for people to live in big cities. Without water, there would be no way to travel by boat
or ship, which would limit(限制) 60. between countries. People would
find it more challenging to share or exchange things they need, making life more
inconvenient for everyone.

56. journey 57. drops 58. eventually 59. forms 60. trade

【分析】
做这类选词完成短文的题目，第一步先明确方框内所有词汇的词义和词性：eventually（副词，最终）、drops（名词复数，水滴）、forms（名词复数，形式）、journey（名词单数，旅程）、trade（名词，贸易）。第二步通读全文，了解文章核心是介绍水循环和水对地球的重要作用，之后逐个空格结合词性要求、固定搭配、上下文语义逻辑匹配对应词汇，最后代入全文通读验证通顺度即可。
【解析】
56. 空前有不定冠词a，需要填入可数名词单数，固定搭配go on a journey意为“开启一段旅程”，后文完整描述了水从海洋出发蒸发再落回地面的循环过程，刚好对应水的这段旅程，因此填journey。
57. 句意为“它以海洋中的水滴作为起点，上升成为空气中的水蒸气”，此处表示海洋里的水滴，用复数drops表泛指，符合语境，因此填drops。
58. 空格修饰后面的动作falls back down，需要副词作状语，所给词汇中只有eventually是副词，语义为“最终”，符合“水蒸气上升后最终以雨或雪的形态落回地面”的逻辑，因此填eventually。
59. 句意为“没有液态和气态形态的水，比如海洋里的水和空气中的水汽……”，此处指代水的液态、气态两种形态，用名词复数forms符合语义，因此填forms。
60. 前文提到没有船只航运的通行方式，后文提到人们很难交换所需物品，说明国家之间的贸易会被限制，trade表示“贸易”完全匹配语境，因此填trade。
【答案】
56. journey 57. drops 58. eventually 59. forms 60. trade
【知识点】
选词填空，名词词义辨析，副词语境运用
【点评】
本题结合水循环的科普主题考察基础词汇的语境运用能力，上下文提示信息充足，解题时可以先通过词性筛选缩小可选词汇范围，再结合语义和固定搭配确定答案，最后代入通读就能验证正误，适合巩固核心词汇的活用能力。

第二节 阅读短文,回答问题(每小题2分,共10分)
Think of China's water like a big, shared drink. We have a lot of it overall—
ranking 6th in the world—but we also have a large population. When you share it out,
each person gets far less than the world average. It's also not shared fairly. Nearly two-
thirds of the cities are short of water.
So, what's the answer? Saving water is our most important move. Here's some
good news: we've used over 40% less water to create the same amount of money and
cut industrial water use by more than half. Big factories are reusing over 93% of their
water. The government set strict water-saving goals, and we hit them.
But we still have problems with waste and poor use. We need better technology,
smarter rules, and better rewards to make every drop count. Most importantly, saving
water needs to become a habit for everyone. Think about what you buy: it takes huge
amounts of water to make things like jeans and smartphones, so choosing things that
last longer and recycling old things also save water. Finally, become a water
ambassador: share these tips, and speak up for water protection. When millions of us
take these small steps, we create a powerful wave of change for our country's future.
61. According to the first paragraph, why is there not enough water for everyone in
China?
62. What are two good things that China has done to save water in factories?
63. Besides technology, what else do we need to stop wasting water?
64. The text suggests choosing things that last longer and recycling old things. How
can doing these things help save water?
65. If you wanted to help your family form one new water-saving habit, what would
it be and how would you encourage them?

61. There are too many people, so each person gets very little water. / The water is
not shared fairly; almost two-thirds of the cities don't have enough.
62. Factories now use over 40% less water to make the same value of products and cut
industrial water use by more than half. Big factories reuse more than 93% of their water.
63. We need better technology, smarter rules and better rewards for saving water.
64. Because making new things uses lots of water. Using things longer and recycling means
fewer new things need to be made, so we save water.
65. Take shorter showers. How to encourage:
(1) Put a 5-minute timer in the bathroom as a friendly challenge.
(2) Explain that showers use about 10 litres of water per minute—saving just 2 minutes daily
can fill over 700 one-litre bottles a year.
(3) Make it a family goal with a simple reward, like choosing a weekend activity together if
everyone sticks to it for a month.

【分析】
做这类阅读问答题时，首先要逐个划出题干的核心关键词，带着关键词回原文精准定位对应段落，优先从定位区域提取匹配的原文信息，整理成通顺的符合题意的回答；其中最后一道开放题要紧扣节水主题，选择日常可落地的习惯，给出合理可行的鼓励方案即可，不需要脱离文本凭空编造内容。比如第61题关键词是first paragraph和人均水资源不足，直接锁定第一段找原因，其余细节题都可以用同样的定位法快速找到答题依据。
【解析】
61. 定位到原文第一段，提取两个核心原因：一是我国人口基数大，人均水资源占有量远低于世界平均水平；二是水资源分配不均衡，近三分之二的城市处于缺水状态，整理后即可得到答案。
62. 定位到原文第二段工业节水相关内容，直接提取两个工厂节水的成果：一是生产同等产值的产品耗水量减少40%以上，工业总用水量削减超一半；二是大型工厂的水资源重复利用率超过93%。
63. 定位到原文第三段“We need better technology, smarter rules, and better rewards to make every drop count”，题干要求排除技术之外的内容，提取剩余的两个要素即可。
64. 定位到原文第三段“it takes huge amounts of water to make things like jeans and smartphones, so choosing things that last longer and recycling old things also save water”，梳理逻辑：生产全新商品需要消耗大量水资源，延长物品使用周期、回收旧物品可以减少新商品的生产需求，进而减少不必要的水资源消耗，实现节水。
65. 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，选择贴近家庭日常生活、容易落地的节水习惯，搭配合理可执行的鼓励方式即可得分。
【答案】
61. There are too many people, so each person gets very little water. / The water is not shared fairly; almost two-thirds of the cities don't have enough.

【知识点】
阅读信息定位，细节提取，开放表达
【点评】
本题以节水环保为主题，前四道题均为细节理解类题型，重点考察学生快速从文本中抓取关键信息、整合信息的能力，最后一道开放题引导学生将文本知识和日常生活结合，兼具考察性和节水理念的科普教育意义，整体难度梯度平缓。
