1.1.

A from

B about

C with

D through

解析：选A。A 考查介词辨析。表示“距离某处多远”用“数字 + kilometres + from + 地点”；about 虽可表示“大约”，但本题结构不适用，with 不表示距离。故选A。

2.2.

A busy

B easy

C cheap

D quiet

解析：选B。B 考查形容词辨析。前一句说“Life there is cold and hard”，本句用“and it is not ___ for a young man”承接——又冷又苦，对年轻人来说当然“不容易”，所以选 easy；busy（忙）、cheap（便宜）与“cold and hard”不构成同一条线。故选B。

3.3.

A wait

B leave

C try

D refuse

解析：选C。C 考查动词辨析。“Life there is cold and hard... But Yan and 27 other teachers decided to ___.”But表示转折：条件艰苦，他们却决定“试一试”，所以选 try；leave（离开）与后文“他们改变学校、决定留下”相反，wait（等待）与行动不符。故选C。

4.4.

A fun

B time

C help

D trouble

解析：选D。D 考查固定搭配。“Many children had ___ with maths, so the teachers looked for new ideas.” 后半句的so说明孩子们数学不好（老师才另想办法），have trouble with sth是固定搭配，表示 “在……方面有困难”；fun（乐趣）、time（时间）都无法解释老师为什么要找新办法。故选D。

5.5.

A how

B when

C why

D where

解析：选A。A 考查“疑问词＋不定式”结构。“they learned ___ to make short videos with AI”，learn后接“疑问词＋to do”，这里说他们学的是“怎么做短视频”，故选 how；when（何时）、why（为什么）与“学习方法”语义不合。故选A。

6.6.

A short

B quiet

C clear

D real

解析：选C。C 考查形容词辨析。“They wanted to make difficult ideas ___.”上文说孩子们数学有困难、老师用生活例子和视频帮忙，目的就是把难懂的东西讲“清楚”，故选 clear；short（短）、quiet（安静）都与“difficult ideas”语义不合。故选C。

7.7.

A first

B second

C last

D third

解析：选B。B 考查序数词。前句说它曾经是当地最薄弱的学校之一，“Now”表示现在；紧接着的线索句only one school there is better than it（只有一所比它强）直接锁定名次——排在第一的那所之后，所以是second（第二）。故选B。

8.8.

A Also

B Besides

C Instead

D Still

解析：选D。D 考查副词辨析。“In May 2025, the team won a big prize. ___, they did not stop there.”获奖之后本该满足，他们却没有停下，前后是让步转折，故 Still；Also／Besides是并列递进，与“没有停下”的转折语气不符。故选D。

9.9.

A but

B so

C or

D because

解析：选A。A 考查连词辨析。“In July, Yan’s third year ended, ___ he decided to stay.”三年期满本应离开，他却决定留下，前后转折，故 but；so（所以）、or（或者）都与句意不符。故选A。

10.10.

A farmers

B parents

C students

D teachers

解析：选D。D 考查名词辨析。结合上文可知，闫泽峰是年轻的老师，因此最后一句话表达“我们都很高兴像闫泽峰这样的年轻教师依然坚守在那里”。故选D。
