They’re wearing special glasses. What are they doing? Looking around outer space! Other students are making toy cars go really fast. Using what? The power of their minds! This may sound like a movie. But most classrooms are expected to be like this someday. They’ll have all kinds of technology! One kind is virtual reality (VR). It lets students go on field trips—no school bus needed. Looking through VR glasses, students can “visit” places in 3D. They can look around as if they’re there. Students can pick avatars (虚拟形象). And they can meet up with other students through their avatars. How cool is that? Something else that’s cool for school: a headband that lets students power computer games with their minds! How does it work? It records electrical signals from the students’ brains. The signals are measured by a computer. And the measurements can control an action on the screen—like moving toy cars around a track. Today, the technology keeps pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. With the help of it, students are able to use 3D printers to create an endless list of tools, clothes, food, art, buildings, jewelry, and more. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing (加法制造) method that creates a physical item from a digital model file. The technology works by adding layer (层) upon layer of material to build up a complete item. What else is rolling into schools? Robots! Some schools already have them. And they’re making learning fun. Take Robin the robot. She teaches using games. Some schools also have telepresence robots. They’re like tablet computers on wheels. They can be controlled from anywhere. So say you’re sick at home. Your robot moves around class for you. And its camera lets you join the class. How high-tech! 32. Which fits best in the empty box on the right? A. Students can look around places with avatars. B. Classrooms will use all kinds of new technology. C. Telepresence robots are like computers on wheels. D. Brain signals can move a toy race car around a track. 33. What does Paragraph 7 help us to know? A. Why it is hard to find useful and funny robots. B. The telepresence robots will take over as teachers. C. How virtual reality might be used in the classroom. D. The technology helps sick students join the class at home. 34. Amy wants to know about different places without being there. What should she do? A. Check a webpage for Robin the robot. B. Visit different cities with VR glasses. C Use a 3D printer to create a guidebook. D. Look up the word “avatar” in a dictionary. 35. What can you learn from the passage? A. Students can use headbands to control real cars. B. High-tech tools are becoming popular at school. C. Students carry 3D printers with them everywhere. D. Robin the robot takes students to have field trips. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍未来学校中可能会出现哪些高科技产物。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But most classrooms are expected to be like this someday.

But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him: “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more? “ “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, sobbing, “that from now on I’ll be good…” “Boys always promise that when they want something,” said Geppetto. “I promise to go to school every day, to study, and to succeed.” “Boys always sing that song when they want their own will.” “But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently. In less than an hour the feet were finished, two slender, nimble little feet, strong and quick, modeled as if by an artist’s hands. “Close your eyes and sleep!” Geppetto then said to the Marionette. Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended (假装) to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon as the Marionette felt his new feet, he gave one leap from the table and started to skip and jump around, as if he had lost his head from very joy. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need a suit of clothes.” Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt so happy that he said proudly: “Now I look like a gentleman.” “Truly,” answered Geppetto. “But remember that fine clothes do not make the man unless they be neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but, in order to go to school, I still need something very important.” “What is it?” “An A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of darns and patches (补丁), he ran out of the house without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I have sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling, and, unable to restrain his tears, he jumped on his father’s neck and kissed him over and over. —Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio 36.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自《匹诺曹历险记》。主要讲述了Geppetto为了满足自己儿子的需求，为他做了很多事情，最后儿子需要一本ABC书，他把自己唯一的外套卖了，换回来了那本书，表达了父亲对儿子的爱。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.”可知，Geppetto是Pinocchio的父亲。故选C。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据”Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy.”可知，Geppetto虽然装出一副严肃的样子，可看着他那可怜的Pinocchio这么难过，眼里噙着眼泪，心软了。因此划线单词的意思是“严肃的”。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Marionette, as soon as his hunger was appeased, started to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair of feet.”、“But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.”、“He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently.”以及“Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough.”可知，正确的顺序是c-d-a-b。故选C。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold.”以及下文可知，为了满足自己的儿子，把唯一的外套也卖了，因此划线句子表达了Geppetto爱他的儿子胜过爱自己。故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Geppetto为了满足自己儿子的需求，为他做了很多事情，最后儿子需要一本ABC书，他把自己唯一的外套卖了，换回来了那本书，表达了父亲对儿子的爱。因此最佳标题是“一本ABC书”。故选D。 非选择题 (共50分) 四 、填空(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) A)根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词, 使句子意思完整正确。 41.

As a sign of respect, a host often offers a cup of tea to a guest. 【答案】single 【解析】 【详解】句意：在中国社会，单个的一杯茶需要大量的工作。作为尊重的表示，主人通常会给客人一杯茶。单个的：single，形容词修饰名词，作定语。故填single。 B)根据句子意思, 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 46. Hot pot is one of the most popular dishes in China, ________ (especial) in Sichuan. 【答案】especially 【解析】 【详解】句意：火锅是中国最受欢迎的菜肴之一，尤其是在四川。especial是形容词，此处用副词especially“尤其”修饰介词短语。故填especially。 47. Generally speaking, cold dishes are the ________ (one) course in formal Chinese meals. 【答案】first 【解析】 【详解】句意：一般来说，在正式的中餐中，凉菜是第一道菜。根据“the…(one) course”可知，此处指第一道菜肴，用序数词表示顺序，故填first。 48. It was said that twice-cooked pork ________ (create) by a Chinese poet called Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. 【答案】was created 【解析】 【详解】句意：据说回锅肉是由中国宋代诗人苏东坡创造的。主语“twice-cooked pork”和谓语动词“create”是逻辑上的被动关系，故使用被动语态。被动语态是由be动词加动词的过去分词构成。由于此事发生在过去，be动词要使用过去式，主语为不可数名词，动词用单三形式，故填was created。 49. Dongpo Pork and Sister Song’s Fish Soup were the ________ (athlete) favourites on Asian Games menu. 【答案】athletes’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：东坡肉和宋姐的鱼汤是亚运会菜单上运动员们的最爱。分析句子可知空处单词修饰favourites，所以这里要用“athletes”的所有格“athletes’”。故填athletes’。 50. Chinese ________ (tradition) dishes are famous for their pleasant smell, colour, taste, meaning and appearance. 【答案】traditional 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国传统菜肴以其宜人的气味、色泽、味道、内涵和外观而闻名。空处缺少形容词修饰名词dishes，traditional“传统的”，符合题意。故填traditional。 根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词填空，使短文内容完整正确。 risk need happier because cheer Have you heard of the famous “20-minute park theory (20分钟公园理论)”?

Here are some questions to help you decide. What kind of music do you like? Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music. For example, there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz. The saxophone is not a permanent (永久的) feature of many orchestras (管弦乐队). Some instruments may lend themselves to others better than to the music you like, so think twice before you start. Do you want to play with other people? Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what kind of instrument would be the most practical? The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument! If you want to play rock music, there will always be a need for bass players or drummers, and if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed. Where are you going to practise? Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise. How much money can you spend? This is quite a big factor. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges, for example, guitars. But this doesn’t change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one? Are there any physical limitations (限制)? If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy instruments, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba (大号)? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung (肺) power, but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skill. Still not sure? Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction. If you find an instrument you love and that suits your needs, you’ll find the time spent choosing was well worth it. Good luck with making your choice! Which musical instrument should you learn? Types of music you like ◆Many instruments are played for different types of music. ◆ Some instruments may be more ___56___ for certain types of music. For example, the saxophone has a strong ___57___ with jazz. Playing ___58___ or alone ◆It is ___59___ for you to get the main part if you choose a solo instrument. ◆If you want to ___60___ an orchestra, a bassoon is a good instrument because you’ll always be needed. Places to practise instruments ◆Your neighbours will be mad at the noise from drums in your flats. ◆Electric musical instruments provide a ___61___ for you at night using headphones while your housemates are sleeping ◆___62___ going to other places to practise in order not to trouble others. Cost of instruments ◆Instruments like guitars have different prices. ◆You can try to borrow or rent an instrument ___63___ of buying it at a high price. Physical limitations ◆Don’t let your physical limitations ___64___ you picking up an instrument. ◆Some wind instruments need a strong lung. However, proper training can help everyone master the skills. Extra tips ◆Talk to people who play instruments and have a try. ◆Find a music teacher with rich ____65____ who can advise you and guide you. 【答案】56. suited##suitable 57. connection 58. together 59. difficult##hard 60. join 61. choice 62. Consider 63. instead 64. stop##prevent 65. experience 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，为正在考虑学一种乐器的读者提供了几条建议。 【56题详解】 根据“Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music.”可知，许多乐器用途广泛，但某些乐器更适合某些特定类型的音乐。suited或suitable表示“合适的”，形容词作表语。故填suited/suitable。 【57题详解】 根据“there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz”可知，萨克斯有一些古典的演奏方式，但人们更多地把它与爵士乐联系起来。因此萨克斯爵士乐有很紧密的联系，空格处应填名词，connection“联系”，名词，符合题意。故填connection。 【58题详解】 根据右侧表格的描述“choose a solo instrument”和“If you want to ... an orchestra, a bassoon is a good instrument because you’ll always be needed.”可知，这一栏的内容是关于决定要学习独奏还是和他人一起演奏，空格处与alone对应，alone“独自”为副词，空格处也应填副词，together符合题意，表示“共同，一起”。故填together。 【59题详解】 根据“The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument!”可知，当你意识到，有很多人都是通过独奏来竞争乐队的主角时，像小号、小提琴、长笛、主音吉他等炫目的独奏乐器，由于竞争激烈，吸引力也正在逐渐减弱。因此要通过独奏乐器来竞争乐队主角很难，difficult/hard“困难的”，形容词作表语。故填difficult/hard。 【60题详解】 根据“if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed”可知，如果你想成为管弦乐队的一员，巴松管是一个很好的选择，空格处表示“加入”，join符合题意，want to do sth“想要做某事”，空处使用动词原形。故填join。 【61题详解】 根据“Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace.”可知，电子乐器，比如钢琴、鼓、吉他，甚至小提琴，都可以让你戴着耳机演奏到深夜，而你的室友则可以安然入睡。“give you the option”表示“为你提供一个选择”，相当于provide you a choice。a后面接单数名词，且其读音以辅音音素开头，choice“机会”符合题意。故填choice。 【62题详解】 根据“Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise.”可知，如果选定的乐器在演奏时可能影响到他人，可能要考虑去学校或社区中心练习。空格处后面为动名词短语，consider“考虑”，后面接动名词，此处是祈使句肯定形式，所以动词使用原形。故填Consider。 【63题详解】 根据“If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one?”可知，如果你买不起你选择的乐器，你可以借别人的或租一个，而不是高价购买，根据“of buying it”可知，这里应用instead of表示“而不是”。故填instead。 【64题详解】 根据“don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off”可知，不要让你身体上的缺点阻碍你选择喜欢的乐器，空格处表示“阻碍”，可用stop或prevent表示，let sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事”，此处应填动词原形。故填stop/prevent。 【65题详解】 根据“It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.”可知，找一位有经验的音乐老师可以给你一些建议，把你引向正确的方向。此处表示“有丰富经验”，with后面应接名词，experience“经验”，不可数名词。故填experience。 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Umbrellas are useful, rain or shine.

In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born. However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to ____18____ twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a ____19____ race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to ___20___. The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came ____21____. Then, as Horse and Goat were both ____22____ and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig. Some people wonder ____23____ the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t ____24____ the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always ____25____ in our daily lives.

These are our most popular four China tour itineraries (行程), which visit all the classic sights. 80% of first-time travelers start their tailored-China-tour journey from these itineraries.

Where is this passage probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A website. D. A textbook. B The seagull lives along the shore (岸), and flies above the ocean’s roar (咆哮). His body gleams (闪烁) in gray and white, against the sky when he takes ________. The seagull doesn’t chirp or tweet when yet he finds a yummy treat. Instead, he makes a lonely cry. That echoes (回声) out across the sky. The seagull skims the sea for fish. It’s probably his favorite dish. But when the children come to play, the seagull has a special day. For when the children have a snack, that’s when the seagull cries, “Attack!” And dives (潜水) to grab what food he can, directly from an open hand. So when you picnic at the beach, keep all your lunch snacks out of reach. 29. Which is the best word for the blank? A. flight B. off C. fight D. action 30. What can we know about the seagull according to the poem? A. The seagull lives far from the sea. B. Insects are the seagull’s favourite snacks. C. Children’s food may be stolen by the seagull. D. The seagull enjoys watching children play at the beach. 31. According to the poem, which words best describe the seagull? A. Funny and active. B. Clever and creative. C. Brave and generous. D. Lively and energetic. C Some students sit at their desks. They’re wearing special glasses. What are they doing? Looking around outer space! Other students are making toy cars go really fast. Using what? The power of their minds! This may sound like a movie. But most classrooms are expected to be like this someday. They’ll have all kinds of technology! One kind is virtual reality (VR). It lets students go on field trips—no school bus needed. Looking through VR glasses, students can “visit” places in 3D. They can look around as if they’re there. Students can pick avatars (虚拟形象). And they can meet up with other students through their avatars. How cool is that? Something else that’s cool for school: a headband that lets students power computer games with their minds! How does it work? It records electrical signals from the students’ brains. The signals are measured by a computer. And the measurements can control an action on the screen—like moving toy cars around a track. Today, the technology keeps pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. With the help of it, students are able to use 3D printers to create an endless list of tools, clothes, food, art, buildings, jewelry, and more. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing (加法制造) method that creates a physical item from a digital model file. The technology works by adding layer (层) upon layer of material to build up a complete item. What else is rolling into schools? Robots! Some schools already have them. And they’re making learning fun. Take Robin the robot. She teaches using games. Some schools also have telepresence robots. They’re like tablet computers on wheels.

But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him: “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more? “ “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, sobbing, “that from now on I’ll be good…” “Boys always promise that when they want something,” said Geppetto. “I promise to go to school every day, to study, and to succeed.” “Boys always sing that song when they want their own will.” “But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently. In less than an hour the feet were finished, two slender, nimble little feet, strong and quick, modeled as if by an artist’s hands. “Close your eyes and sleep!” Geppetto then said to the Marionette. Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended (假装) to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon as the Marionette felt his new feet, he gave one leap from the table and started to skip and jump around, as if he had lost his head from very joy. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need a suit of clothes.” Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt so happy that he said proudly: “Now I look like a gentleman.” “Truly,” answered Geppetto. “But remember that fine clothes do not make the man unless they be neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but, in order to go to school, I still need something very important.” “What is it?” “An A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of darns and patches (补丁), he ran out of the house without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I have sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling and, unable to restrain his tears, he jumped on his father’s neck and kissed him over and over. —Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio 36.

Here are some questions to help you decide. What kind of music do you like? Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music. For example, there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz. The saxophone is not a permanent (永久的) feature of many orchestras (管弦乐队). Some instruments may lend themselves to others better than to the music you like, so think twice before you start. Do you want to play with other people? Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what kind of instrument would be the most practical? The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument! If you want to play rock music, there will always be a need for bass players or drummers, and if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed. Where are you going to practise? Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise. How much money can you spend? This is quite a big factor. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges, for example, guitars. But this doesn’t change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one? Are there any physical limitations (限制)? If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy instruments, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba (大号)? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung (肺) power, but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skill. Still not sure? Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction. If you find an instrument you love and that suits your needs, you’ll find the time spent choosing was well worth it. Good luck with making your choice! Which musical instrument should you learn? Types of music you like ◆Many instruments are played for different types of music. ◆ Some instruments may be more ___56___ for certain types of music. For example, the saxophone has a strong ___57___ with jazz.

Physical limitations ◆Don’t let your physical limitations ___64___ you picking up an instrument. ◆Some wind instruments need a strong lung. However, proper training can help everyone master the skills. Extra tips ◆Talk to people who play instruments and have a try ◆Find a music teacher with rich ____65____ who can advise you and guide you. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Umbrellas are useful, rain or shine.
