It stands for Singapore’s identity-its body stands for the fishing villages of Singapore’s past, while its lion head is a symbol of Singapore (“lion city” in Sanskrit). It was built by craftsman Lim Nang Seng. Unveiled (揭幕) by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew in 1972, the statue was first placed at the mouth of the Singapore River but now stands overlooking the bay at Merlion Park. Gardens by the Bay is a 100-hectare (公顷) nature park in Singapore that aims to create a “City in a Garden” and improve air quality. It attracts around 50 million visitors per year and has three man gardens: Central, East and South. The South Garden has the most attractions. Supertree Grove is one of the most famous attractions among them. There are 18 tree-like installations (装置) that reach up to 50 meters off the ground and are made out of reinforced concrete (钢 筋混凝土) and plants. The free evening light show is well worth watching. The Helix Bridge is a pedestrian (人行的) bridge in Singapore that was built in 2010. It’s the longest one there and connects Marina Center to the Bayfront. The bridge is shaped like a double helix (螺旋) DNA, which stands for “life and continuity, renewal (更新) and growth”. If you’re into science, you might notice pairs of letters “c” and “g”, as well as “a” and “t” on the bridge-these stand for the four bases of DNA. 31. What does the fish body of the Merlion stand for? A. The fishing villages of Singapore’s past. B. The well-developed fishing industry in Singapore. C. The achievement of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. D. The sincere wish of a good future for the nation. 32. Why were the Gardens by the Bay built? A. To create shade. B. To serve evening light show. C. To make the environment better. D. To attract visitors. 33. What are the relations between the Helix Bridge and DNA? ① The shape of the bridge looks like a double heli x DNA. ② The letters on the bridge stand for the bases of DNA. ③ The bridge was built to remember the finding of DNA. ④ The symbolic meaning of the bridge is similar to DNA. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ B Do you believe that a kilogram of carrots could cost $10,000? My carrots cost me that much last year. One day last summer I picked carrots from my own vegetable garden. Usually I cleaned the dirt by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, I fell over the bucket and the water went all over my feet. After changing my shoes and socks, I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink to save cooking time. The next day I noticed that the water was running out of the sink much slower than usual, so I called a plumber (水暖工) to fix my drain. He tried to go under the house to check the pipes, but he couldn’t reach them. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pine was to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. The water ran out everywhere, causing a lot of problems. My fridge stopped working, so I called an electrician (电工). While he was fixing the fridge, he tripped over the plumber’s tools and the fridge tipped over. It crashed into the wall, causing a huge hole. Then I called a carpenter (木匠) to fix the wall. After he tore down half of the whole wall, the electrician found more electrical problems. At last, the plumber found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through or past the dirt. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later, I had a new kitchen and $10,000 less in my bank. I have learned my lesson. I never wash carrots in the kitchen sink; I get them, clean and ready to eat, from the store. 34. Which paragraph matches the picture? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 35. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. I washed the carrots in the kitchen sink. b. A house builder came and fixed my kitchen. c. A big hole was hit on the wall by the fridge. d. The plumber cut the hot-water pipe by accident. e. The water ran slower than usual because of the dirt. A. a-d-c-e-b B. a-d-e-c-b C. a-e-d-c-b D. a-e-c-d-b 36. What does the underline word “tripped” mean in Para 4? A. Fell. B. Travelled. C. Used. D. Got. 37. Why did the writer say the carrots cost $10,000? A. He just told us a funny joke. B. Furniture cost him $10,000. C. He spent $10,000 buying carrots. D. Fixing his kitchen cost him $10,000. C Long ago, Damon and Pythias, two close friends on the island of Sicily, faced a test of their friendship. Dionysius, the king of Sicily, was awfuly cruel. He had many enemies among his people. Pythias was one of them. He planned to kill the king and free Sicily from his rule. Dionysius got the wind of it, caught Pythias and sentenced him to death. “Do you have anything to say before you die?”asked Dionysius. “Yes,”said Pythias. “I would ask that you give me five more days of life. I want to say goodbye to my family.” “Do you think I am stupid?”Dionysius laughed. “How do I know you’ll come back?” “You have my word. ” “Do you expect me to trust you? I need someone to die in your place if you do not return. Do you have such a friend?” A loud voice came from the crowd. “Yes!” Damon rushed forward. “I’m his friend Damon. I’ll stay in prison until he returns, and I’ll die for him if I have to.” Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Well,”he finally said. “But you’re a fool!” “He’ll keep his word,”Damon replied. Pythias was then allowed to leave and Damon was thrown into prison. After a few days, Pythias hadn’t shown up. The king went to the prison to see if Damon regretted his decision. “Your time is almost up.” Dionysius laughed. “What a fool you are!” “He’ll be back,” Damon replied. The final day came. At noon, Damon was taken from his prison. “What do you think of your friend now?” asked Dionysius. “I trust him,” Damon calmly answered. “He’ll be here.” Five hours passed. The king laughed at Damon again. “You value his life more than yours!” The executioner (行刑人) raised his axe (斧子). But just before the blow, a voice was heard in the distance: “Set Damon free!” Pythias rushed to his friend. “My ship was broken. Some robbers attacked me. I ran as fast as Icould. Finally, I’m here!” He turned to Dionysius and said, “Free my friend! I’m ready to meet my executioner.” Dionysius found himself strangely moved. “I’ve never seen such a friendship,” said the king. “ ▲ ” 38. What does the underlined phrase “got the wind of ” mean?

There’s also a large area of sea ice, which floats (漂浮) on the ocean’s surface. Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost not influenced by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing. That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum (最大值) on September 10—almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low—not just by a little bit, but by a lot. The last time Antartica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France. Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.” The new low record has worried scientists. The sea ice is important because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps more heat. 42. What did NSIDC find about the sea ice in Antarctica this year? A. It protected the wildlife in the ocean. B. It grew and covered a wider area. C. It turned out to be difficult to observe. D. It reached a new record low level. 43. Why does the writer mention France in paragraph 4? A. To present how small the country is. B. To introduce a new topic for discussion. C. To show Antarctica’s sea ice is getting smaller. D. To explain the position of the wonderful land. 44. What causes the change in Antarctica according to Ted Scambos? A. Low rainfall. B. Short summer months. C. Cold weather. D. Rising temperatures. 45. What can we know about Antarctica’s sea ice? A. It’s key to the earth’s cooling system. B. It’s just a short-term problem. C. It reminds us to find water resources. D. It offers humans a bright future. 四、词汇运用 (共10 小题;每小题1分,计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46. Nearly 10% of the Earth’s ________ is covered by ice. (表层) 47.

My carrots cost me that much last year. One day last summer I picked carrots from my own vegetable garden. Usually I cleaned the dirt by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, I fell over the bucket and the water went all over my feet. After changing my shoes and socks, I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink to save cooking time. The next day I noticed that the water was running out of the sink much slower than usual, so I called a plumber (水暖工) to fix my drain. He tried to go under the house to check the pipes, but he couldn’t reach them. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pine was to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. The water ran out everywhere, causing a lot of problems. My fridge stopped working, so I called an electrician (电工). While he was fixing the fridge, he tripped over the plumber’s tools and the fridge tipped over. It crashed into the wall, causing a huge hole. Then I called a carpenter (木匠) to fix the wall. After he tore down half of the whole wall, the electrician found more electrical problems. At last, the plumber found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through or past the dirt. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later, I had a new kitchen and $10,000 less in my bank. I have learned my lesson. I never wash carrots in the kitchen sink; I get them, clean and ready to eat, from the store. 34. Which paragraph matches the picture? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 35. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a.

Dionysius got the wind of it, caught Pythias and sentenced him to death. “Do you have anything to say before you die?”asked Dionysius. “Yes,”said Pythias. “I would ask that you give me five more days of life. I want to say goodbye to my family.” “Do you think I am stupid?”Dionysius laughed. “How do I know you’ll come back?” “You have my word. ” “Do you expect me to trust you? I need someone to die in your place if you do not return. Do you have such a friend?” A loud voice came from the crowd. “Yes!” Damon rushed forward. “I’m his friend Damon. I’ll stay in prison until he returns, and I’ll die for him if I have to.” Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Well,”he finally said. “But you’re a fool!” “He’ll keep his word,”Damon replied. Pythias was then allowed to leave and Damon was thrown into prison. After a few days, Pythias hadn’t shown up. The king went to the prison to see if Damon regretted his decision. “Your time is almost up.” Dionysius laughed. “What a fool you are!” “He’ll be back,” Damon replied. The final day came. At noon, Damon was taken from his prison. “What do you think of your friend now?” asked Dionysius. “I trust him,” Damon calmly answered. “He’ll be here.” Five hours passed. The king laughed at Damon again. “You value his life more than yours!” The executioner (行刑人) raised his axe (斧子). But just before the blow, a voice was heard in the distance: “Set Damon free!” Pythias rushed to his friend. “My ship was broken. Some robbers attacked me. I ran as fast as Icould.

The ice in Antarctica doesn’t just cover the land. There’s also a large area of sea ice, which floats (漂浮) on the ocean’s surface. Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost not influenced by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing. That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum (最大值) on September 10—almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low—not just by a little bit, but by a lot. The last time Antartica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France. Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.” The new low record has worried scientists. The sea ice is important because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps more heat. 42. What did NSIDC find about the sea ice in Antarctica this year? A. It protected the wildlife in the ocean. B. It grew and covered a wider area. C. It turned out to be difficult to observe. D. It reached a new record low level. 43. Why does the writer mention France in paragraph 4? A. To present how small the country is. B. To introduce a new topic for discussion. C. To show Antarctica’s sea ice is getting smaller. D. To explain the position of the wonderful land. 44. What causes the change in Antarctica according to Ted Scambos? A. Low rainfall. B. Short summer months. C. Cold weather. D. Rising temperatures. 45. What can we know about Antarctica’s sea ice? A. It’s key to the earth’s cooling system. B. It’s just a short-term problem. C. It reminds us to find water resources. D. It offers humans a bright future. 【答案】42. D 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了今年南极洲的海冰面积创下历史新低，引发科学家担忧。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting...but by a lot.”可知，NSIDC今年对南极洲海冰的检测，发现南极洲的海冰面积达到了历史新低。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The last time Antartica’s low scaice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France.”可知，30多年的时间，南极洲海冰消失的面积相当于法国国土面积1.6倍，这是很大的面积，提到法国是为了显示南极洲海冰的急剧减少，故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says, ‘Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.’ ”可知，Ted Scambos认为今年的情况表明该地区的海洋温度将升高，所以他认为气温上升导致了南极洲的变化，故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new low record has worried scientists. The sea ice is...takes in and keeps more heat.”可知，海冰有助于冷却地球。当海冰结冰时，它会将阳光反射回太空。但当海冰融化时，留下的水会变黑，吸收并保持更多的热量。说明南极洲的海冰是地球冷却系统的关键，故选A。 四、词汇运用 (共10 小题;每小题1分,计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46.

When they were getting ready to go to bed. Eliza, a young slave from the house, came to their door. “Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe”, she said “Master sold Uncle Tom!” “Sold Tom?”said Aunt Chloe.“But why did he do that?” “Master is in debt, he has to find the money, or he will have to sell the farm and all of us and leave. So he sold Uncle Tom to pay off his debt.” “Tom, why don’t you run away? The trader will sell you to a plantation, where they kill slaves with hard work and no food! There’s still time. Come on, get up, and I’ll get your things ready.” Tom looked at her with sad eyes and said “No, I'm not running away. You heard what Eliza said! Master needs money to keep the farm and the people. I’m strong. I’ll be OK. I can go so he won’t have to sell everything. These things happen, Chloe, and Master tried to be good.

(c)areful 69. (h)appiness 70. (c)atch 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《汤姆索亚历险记》，主要讲述了聪明的汤姆是如何让别的孩子帮助他粉刷篱笆的故事。 【61题详解】 句意：他想到了这一天他已经计划好的乐趣。根据“He looked at the fence, sighing and feeling bad. He thought of the fun he had...for the day.”及首字母p可知，刷篱笆之前他早已有了计划。plan“计划”，本句时态为过去完成时，所以动词用过去分词形式。故填(p)lanned。 【62题详解】 句意：他甚至感觉更糟糕了。根据“...feeling bad”和“And soon the free boys would make fun of him for having to work.”可知，汤姆本来感觉不好，想到还有别的孩子会取笑他，感觉更差了。结合even修饰比较级，所以设空处填写bad的比较级形式。故填(w)orse。 【63题详解】 句意：汤姆没注意他，继续粉刷。根据“Tom paid no attention to him”可知，汤姆继续自己的工作。continue“继续”，本句时态为一般过去时，所以动词用过去式形式。故填(c)ontinued。 【64题详解】 句意：他停下来，像个艺术家一样看他的作品。根据“looked at his work”和首字母a可知，汤姆像个艺术家一样。artist“艺术家”，不定冠词an后用可数名词单数。故填(a)rtist。 【65题详解】 句意：你称什么是工作？本句汤姆反问本，将什么称之为工作，what“什么”，位于句首字母w大写。故填(W)hat。 【66题详解】 句意：你真的喜欢它吗？根据“All I know is, I like it...Why not? Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence every day?”及首字母r可知，本此时问汤姆是否真正地喜欢这个工作。really“真正地”，副词修饰动词。故填(r)eally。 【67题详解】 句意：本注视着一举一动，越来越感兴趣。根据“Hey, Tom, let me paint a little.”可知，本对汤姆的工作感兴趣了，interested“感兴趣的”，形容词修饰人。故填(i)nterested。 【68题详解】 句意：我会小心的。根据“Aunt Polly wants this fence painted carefully”可知，此处本表示自己会小心粉刷。careful“小心的”，形容词作表语。故填(c)areful。 【69题详解】 句意：汤姆把刷子递给本，脸上满是不情愿，心里却充满了快乐。根据前文内容可知，汤姆故意说这份工作不好做，是为了引起本的兴趣，让他帮自己干，所以当本主动要尝试时，汤姆心里充满了喜悦。happiness“幸福；快乐”，不可数名词。故填(h)appiness。 【70题详解】 句意：当本在阳光下小心翼翼地工作时，汤姆坐在树荫下吃着苹果，想着如何抓住更多的男孩。根据“While Ben worked carefully in the sun, Tom sat in the shade eating the apple and thinking how to...more boys.”可知，此时树荫下享受的汤姆在想如何能抓住更多的男孩帮他干活。catch“抓住”，不定式符号to后用动词原形。故填(c)atch。 七、书面表达 (计30分) A.句子翻译(共5 小题;每小题2分,计10分) 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。 71. 他们还未决定何时给获胜者们颁发奖牌。 _________________________________________________ 【答案】They have not decided when to present the winners with the medals. 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此处是现在完成时have/has done。他们：they，置于句首需大写首字母；还没有决定：have not decided；何时：when，此处是“疑问词+不定式”结构；获胜者们：winners；奖牌：medal，此处用其复数表示泛指；给……颁发……：present…with…。故填They have not decided when to present the winners with the medals. 72. 除非你控制好情绪，否则我们不会开展这项计划。 _________________________________________________ 【答案】We will not carry out the plan unless you control your moods well. 【解析】 【详解】根据语境可知，此句是由unless“除非”引导的条件状语从句，句子遵循“主将从现”；control“控制”；moods“情绪”；well“好地”，副词修饰动词control；carry out“开展”；the plan“这项计划”。故填We will not carry out the plan unless you control your moods well. 73. 多漂亮的手提包啊！我想知道是不是手工制作的。 _________________________________________________ 【答案】How nice the handbag is! I wonder whether it is made by hand or not. 【解析】 【详解】第一句是感叹句，中心词nice “漂亮的” 为形容词，故此感叹句由How引导，其结构是How+形容词+主语+谓语。手提包：the handbag，谓语为is。根据语境可知，第二句是一般现在时。我：I；想知道：wonder；是不是：whether…or not；手工制作：be made by hand。从句中主语是it，be动词用is。故填How nice the handbag is! I wonder whether it is made by hand or not. 74. 假如你对我们的服务不满意，请随时与我们联系。 _________________________________________________ 【答案】Please contact us anytime if you aren’t satisfied with our service. 【解析】 【详解】根据中文提示可知，句子为主从复合句，if引导的条件状语从句。主句用祈使句，please“请”，句首首字母应大写，后接动词原形，contact us“联系我们”，anytime“随时”。从句用一般现在时。主语you，be动词用are，此处为否定，aren’t satisfied with“不满意” ，our service“我们的服务”。故填Please contact us anytime if you aren’t satisfied with our service. 75. 对于我们来说，学会如何与别人相处是必要的。 _________________________________________________ 【答案】It is necessary for us to learn how to get on with others. 【解析】 【详解】此处可以用固定句型It is+for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是……的”。必要的：necessary；我们：we，位于介词for后用其宾格us；学会：learn；与人相处：get on with；别人：others；如何做：how to do。故填It is necessary for us to learn how to get on with others.
