Here we’ve boiled down the options to the absolute top 4 events to add to your travel bucket list. La Tomatina Buñol, Spain August Tomato lovers get their fill on the last Wednesday of August as over 100,000kg of tomatoes are thrown, pressed and splattered (飞溅) in the town square. It’s the climax of a week-long celebration of Buñol’s patron saint, which leaves the town in a bright red smattering like a horror film scene. We don’t envy whoever has to clean up that mess! Songkran Thailand April A water fight on a national scale, Songkran in Thailand is the celebration of the Buddhist New Year. Wherever you are in Thailand — anywhere from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya, Krabi or Koh Samui — you can expect to get thoroughly wet with everything from water guns to elephant trunks being employed for the purpose. Snow & Ice Festival Harbin, China January — February Harbin is transformed into a winter wonderland with ice sculptures across the city, decorated with lights and lasers, drawing thousands of artists and art enthusiasts alike. And if that’s not enough to appeal to you, there’s also the Ice Lantern Art Fair, dog sledding to watch and our favourite, “winter swimming watching”. Holi Festival India February — March A rainbow of colour and Hindu traditions combine to create this celebration of love, springtime fun and good triumphing over evil. Kicking off with a night-time bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, the next day is a carnival of colours where everyone plays about throwing dye powder, shooting water guns and coloured water-filled balloons, uniting rich and poor, children and big kids at heart. 1. A visitor who will only be free in summer holiday can go to _________ to attend the festival. A. Thailand B. India C. China D. Spain 2. What do Songkran and Holi Festival have in common? A. They are both in celebration of the New year. B. They both include water battles. C. They both provide a bonfire party. D. They both involve casting color powder. 3. Where does the text probably come from? A. A research plan. B. A news report. C. A travel magazine. D. A book review. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个不同国家的大型节日。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“La Tomatina Buñol, Spain August”可知，在八月，西班牙的布尼奥尔会举办番茄大战，由此可知，只在暑假有时间的游客可以来西班牙参加该节日。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Songkran Thailand April”下面的“Wherever you are in Thailand—anywhere from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya, Krabi or Koh Samui—you can expect to get thoroughly wet with everything from water guns to elephant trunks being employed for the purpose. (无论你在泰国的哪个地方——从曼谷到清迈、大城府、甲米府或苏梅岛——你都会被各种各样的东西弄得浑身湿透，从水枪到象鼻都可以用来这样做。)”和“Holi Festival India February—March”下面的“Kicking off with a night-time bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, the next day is a carnival of colours where everyone plays about throwing dye powder, shooting water guns and coloured water-filled balloons, uniting rich and poor, children and big kids at heart. (第二天以夜间篝火开始，人们聚集在一起，载歌载舞，这是一场色彩狂欢节，每个人都在玩扔染料粉、射击水枪和彩色充水气球的游戏，把富人和穷人、孩子和大孩子团结在一起。)”可知，泰国的泼水节和印度的胡里节都有打水仗的游戏。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here we’ve boiled down the options to the absolute top 4 events to add to your travel bucket list. (在这里，我们将选项压缩到绝对排名前四的活动，以添加到你的旅行心愿清单中。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要是为旅行的人介绍四个不容错过的不同国家的大型节日，与旅游有关，由此可推测出，本文最有可能出自一本旅行杂志。故选C。 B Jiang Shumei learned her first Chinese character at the age of 60. Now the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sorrow. The elderly woman had her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask. “It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.” the grandmother says. She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. As a college teacher and a writer herself, Zhang gave her mother a lot of encouragement and help. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even hailed it as the “lived history of a nation plagued by war, death and hunger”. So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600,000 characters in length. In her spare time, she is also learning painting and calligraphy. “I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly. 4. Why did Jiang Shumei start to learn characters? A. The suggestion of her husband. B. Her daughter’s car accident. C. To get rid of sadness. D. To learn something more. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How she learned characters. B. How she wrote down characters. C. How she met new characters. D. How she learnt to sing the songs. 6. What did Jiang Shumei’s brother think of her behaviour? A. He spoke highly of it. B. He thought she was daydreaming. C. He worried about her. D. He didn’t care about it. 7. What can we learn from Jiang Shumei’s words in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Reading enriches the mind. D. It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了姜淑梅在60岁开始学习汉字并后来成为一名作家的励志故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sorrow.(她在1996年学习第一个汉字，在此之前她的丈夫死于一场毁灭性的车祸，当时她的女儿张爱玲建议她学读书，让她摆脱孤独和悲伤。)”可知，姜淑梅学习汉字是为了摆脱悲伤。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The elderly woman had her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask.(这位老妇人有自己的学习方法。她为歌曲创作歌词，并让孩子们把它们写下来，这样她就可以在一遍又一遍地唱歌曲时读每个汉字。每当她在小册子、公交车站或商店标牌上看到不认识的汉字时，她就会找人问。)”可知，本段主要介绍了姜淑梅学习汉字的方法。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.(这听起来难以置信，我哥哥过去常常嘲笑我的白日梦。)”可知，哥哥认为姜淑梅是在白日做梦。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly.(“我想成为一名作家、画家和书法家，”她说，并补充说，她现在的梦想是在90岁时举办自己的艺术展览。她开玩笑地问道：“如果我能活到130岁，你还会说我60岁后开始太晚了吗？”。)”可知，姜淑梅想成为一名作家、画家和书法家，她还想在90岁开办自己的艺术展览，她认为如果自己能活到130岁，那么60岁以后开始自己的梦想并不晚，由此可推测出，从她的话里我们可以明白“活到老，学到老”的道理。故选D。 C Bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food: from almonds (杏仁) to berries and the alfalfa (苜蓿) that feeds dairy cows. Our diets and agricultural economy hinge on a healthy bee population. However, rapid declines in bee population around the world put additional stress on an already unstable food supply by depressing yields and agricultural efficiency. While bee biologists do not foresee upcoming food system collapse without honey bees, we do know that agriculture would quickly become unrecognizable—and much more limited. Farmers are on the frontlines of the economic impacts of bee decline. For example, the cost of almond pollination (授粉) has nearly tripled since colonies began collapsing in 2004, costing that industry over $83 million per year. The causes behind recent bee declines are not a “mystery”. Independent scientists now largely agree that bee declines are caused by a combination of several factors, including: poor nutrition, habitat loss and pesticide (杀虫剂) exposure. In the last several years, pesticides — both alone and in combination with other pesticides — have emerged as a key catalyst (催化剂) behind this disturbing phenomenon, both because of their direct toxicity to bees and their indirect and cascading effects. Scientists know that individual bees can be acutely poisoned while flying through pesticide-contaminated planter dust in a recently planted corn field. More commonly, they are chronically poisoned at sublethal (亚致死) levels by eating and drinking contaminated pollen, nectar and water over time. Bees are then more likely to get sick. As an indicator species, honey bees are sounding an alarm that we ignore at our peril. Among their lessons: industrial agriculture has gone off the rails. The pesticide treadmill has kicked into high gear with a class of dangerous systemic pesticides—while regulators were asleep at the switch. So let’s keep the heat on decision makers to take meaningful action. 8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean? A. Cut down. B. Contribute to. C. Depend on. D. Go against. 9. What is the topic discussed in paragraph 2 — 3? A. The impact of rapid declines in bee population. B. The role of farmers in agriculture. C. The ignorance of the effect on food system. D. The cost of almond pollination. 10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 4 as the factor for bee declines? A. Poor in nutrition. B. Economic impacts. C. Loss of habitat. D. Exposure to pesticides. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To express sympathy for the affected farmers. B. To show the factors resulting in the bees’ crisis. C To explain a key catalyst to the bees’ problem. D. To urge decision makers to take action for bees. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了蜜蜂数量下降对农业的影响，分析了蜜蜂数量下降的原因，并指出采取行动保护蜜蜂的必要性。 【8题详解】 短语猜测题。根据第一段第一句“Bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food: from almonds (杏仁) to berries and the alfalfa (苜蓿) that feeds dairy cows. (每三口食物中就有一口是蜜蜂的功劳：从杏仁到浆果，再到喂养奶牛的苜蓿。)”可知，食物离不开蜜蜂的功劳，再根据第二段第一句“However, rapid declines in bee population around the world put additional stress on an already unstable food supply by depressing yields and agricultural efficiency. (然而，世界各地蜜蜂数量的迅速下降降低了产量和农业效率，给本已不稳定的粮食供应带来了额外的压力。)”可知，蜜蜂数量下降对农业造成压力。由此可推测出，画线短语所在句“Our diets and agricultural economy hinge on a healthy bee population.”表达的是：我们的饮食和农业经济取决于健康的蜜蜂种群。hinge on意为“取决于”，与depend on意思一致。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“However, rapid declines in bee population around the world put additional stress on an already unstable food supply by depressing yields and agricultural efficiency. While bee biologists do not foresee upcoming food system collapse without honey bees, we do know that agriculture would quickly become unrecognizable—and much more limited. (然而，世界各地蜜蜂数量的迅速下降降低了产量和农业效率，给本已不稳定的粮食供应带来了额外的压力。虽然蜜蜂生物学家不能预见在没有蜜蜂的情况下即将到来的食物系统崩溃，但我们知道农业将很快变得面目全非，而且更加受限。)”和第三段“Farmers are on the frontlines of the economic impacts of bee decline. For example, the cost of almond pollination (授粉) has nearly tripled since colonies began collapsing in 2004, costing that industry over $83 million per year. (在蜜蜂数量减少对经济的影响中，农民首当其冲。例如，自2004年蜂群开始崩溃以来，杏仁授粉的成本几乎增加了两倍，该行业每年的成本超过8300万美元。)”可知，这两段主要讲述了蜜蜂数量急剧下降所造成的消极影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Independent scientists now largely agree that bee declines are caused by a combination of several factors, including: poor nutrition, habitat loss and pesticide (杀虫剂) exposure. (独立科学家现在基本上同意，蜜蜂数量减少是由几个因素共同造成的，包括：营养不良、栖息地丧失和接触杀虫剂。)”可知，导致蜜蜂数量减少的因素有营养不良、栖息地丧失和接触杀虫剂。B项(经济影响)在第四段并未提及。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“As an indicator species, honey bees are sounding an alarm that we ignore at our peril. Among their lessons: industrial agriculture has gone off the rails. The pesticide treadmill has kicked into high gear with a class of dangerous systemic pesticides—while regulators were asleep at the switch. So let’s keep the heat on decision makers to take meaningful action. (作为一种指示物种，蜜蜂正在敲响警钟，而我们冒着风险忽视了这一点。它们的教训之一是：工业化农业已经脱轨。农药跑步机已经与一类危险的系统性农药一起进入高速运转状态，而监管机构却在开关前睡着了。因此，让我们继续督促决策者采取有意义的行动。)”可知，本文讲述了蜜蜂数量下降对农业的影响，分析了蜜蜂数量下降的原因，然后在最后提出蜜蜂数量下降给人类敲响了警钟，呼吁决策者采取有意义的行动。由此可推测出，作者的写作目的是敦促决策者采取行动保护蜜蜂。故选D。 D Following the tradition of wearing new clothes for the Chinese New Year, hanfu, or traditional Chinese clothing, has experienced substantial growth during the festive season. The horse face skirt is particularly popular for its combination of traditional and modern elements, especially among young Chinese. During the Spring Festival, many performers and tourists in Luoyang, Henan Province, showcased the horse face skirts. Gorgeous hanfu shows in Caoxian County, Shandong Province, one of the major hanfu production bases in China, highlighted the elegance of the long tradition of Chinese clothing. Consumers expressed their desire to promote traditional Chinese culture as hanfu styles become more common. The sales of horse face skirts are booming, leading production enterprises to optimize processes to meet demand. With annual sales surpassing 7 billion yuan, the sales of new year’s clothes for the Year of the Dragon, primarily horse face skirts, exceeded 300 million yuan in Caoxian County. Data from e-commerce platforms indicate a significant surge in the search volume for hanfu since January. Among the various hanfu styles, the horse face skirt has become the most popular item, with sales of many hot-selling items surpassing one million yuan. Zhang Mingqiang, the general manager of Haining Xucun Mingji Fabric Factory, expressed both happiness and concern due to the steady stream of daily orders. He currently faces a pile of more than 30,000 orders for horse face skirts. Expanding production capacity is a top priority for many local enterprises. Newly purchased fabric production equipment is being installed and commissioned by the fabric manufacturer and will be put into use after the Spring Festival holiday. Additionally, local companies are making efforts to the production and development of more Chinese-style clothing fabrics. The new trend of Chinese-style fashion, led by horse face skirts, is gaining popularity among overseas consumers as well. 12. Why is the horse face skirt particularly popular? A. Because of its sustainable growth. B. Because of its combined elements. C. Because of its display by people in Luoyang. D. Because of its long tradition. 13. What was the consumers’ attitude towards horse face skirt? A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Opposed. 14. Why did Zhang Mingqiang have a mixed feeling? A. Because he was happy with the quality of his products. B. Because he was pleased with the production capacity of his company. C. Because he was worried about the slow-selling of horse face skirts. D. Because he gained steady orders but couldn’t keep up with them. 15. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph? A. The efforts local companies make to horse face skirts. B. The improvement of production capacity. C. The popularity of horse face skirts overseas. D. The fame of horse face skirts in other seasons. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了春节期间马面裙的消费大幅增长，促进了传统文化的传播，带动了服装经济。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The horse face skirt is particularly popular for its combination of traditional and modern elements, especially among young Chinese.(马面裙以其传统与现代元素的结合而特别受欢迎，尤其是在中国年轻人中)”可知，因为马面裙结合了传统与现代元素，所以非常受欢迎。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据三段“Consumers expressed their desire to promote traditional Chinese culture as hanfu styles become more common.(随着汉服越来越普遍，消费者表达了推广中国传统文化的愿望)”可知，消费者想要通过马面裙来传播传统文化。由此推知，消费者对马面裙持支持（supportive）态度。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Zhang Mingqiang, the general manager of Haining Xucun Mingji Fabric Factory, expressed both happiness and concern due to the steady stream of daily orders. He currently faces a pile of more than 30,000 orders for horse face skirts.(每天源源不断的订单，让海宁市许村明基布艺厂总经理张明强既高兴又担心。他目前面临着3万多份马面裙订单)”可知，每天有源源不断的订单，所以他很高兴，但他目前还欠一个3万多条的马面裙订单未交付，所以他也很担心。由此可知，因为他获得了稳定的订单，但却无法跟上。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The new trend of Chinese-style fashion, led by horse face skirts, is gaining popularity among overseas consumers as well.(马面裙引领的中国时尚新潮流也在海外消费者中越来越受欢迎)”可知，文章最后提到马面裙引领的中国时尚新潮流在海外也非常流行。由此推知，接下来会具体讲述马面裙在海外的流行情况。故选C。 第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lightning can strike anyplace on Earth.

Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo. This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics. “Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Terry? I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived. “Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily. The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually, Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it. The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again! After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry. Then, Mo decided to go to the office. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. Mr. Reed looked up from the papers. Mo said with anger, “I think Terry might be cheating on the exam. I saw her looking at her phone under the table. I’m sure she was reading answers from it.” Mr. Reed’s eyebrows furrowed in concern. He couldn’t bear anyone cheating, especially the student who he thought was an excellent one. So he let Terry in right away. “Did you use your phone in the exam?” He asked. Taking a glance at Mo, Terry understood what happened, and she took her phone out of the pocket and opened it. To their surprise, Terry cried and explained she was so worried about her father that she couldn’t wait to check the message. Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. She realized that she had jumped to conclusions and hadn’t even tried to understand why Terry had been avoiding her. She realized that true friendship meant supporting each other through tough times, not just sharing happy moments. She decided to apologize to Terry and offer her support. After school, Mo found Terry alone and explained that she had misunderstood. Terry was relieved and grateful for Mo’s understanding. Their friendship was restored, and they learned an important lesson about the value of communication and compassion. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写，文章以人物为线索展开，Mo和Terry是好朋友，但最近Terry一直躲着Mo，这让Mo很困惑。在物理考试中，Mo发现Terry偷偷查看手机，以为Terry一直是靠着作弊取得好成绩的，而自己却好多次不及格，她觉得不公平。Mo向老师告发了Terry，但令人惊讶的是，Terry并没有作弊，而是因为父亲生病住院，在考试中忍不住悄悄查看消息。知道了真相后，Mo非常后悔自己误会了Terry，向Terry道歉。她们的关系又恢复如初了。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“‘Reed先生，我有话要告诉你。’Mo轻声说。”可知，第一段可以描写Mo向老师告发Terry在考试中看手机的行为，但没想到Terry只是为了查看关于父亲的信息。 ②由续写第二段首句“知道真相后，Mo感到愧疚。”可知，第二段可以描写Mo为自己误会了Terry而感到愧疚，向Terry道歉，二人关系和好如初。 2. 段落续写：Mo向老师告发Terry作弊——老师叫Terry进来——Terry解释看手机的原因——Mo知道真相后感到愧疚——Mo向Terry道歉——二人关系和好 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①容忍：bear/stand/tolerate ②瞥：take a glance at/glance at/glimpse/have a glimpse at ③向……道歉：apologize to/make an apology to 情绪类 ①生气地：with anger/angrily ②惊讶：surprise/amazement ③担心的：worried/concerned ④感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a glance at Mo, Terry understood what happened, and she took her phone out of the pocket and opened it. (使用了现在分词作状语以及what引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】She realized that she had jumped to conclusions and hadn’t even tried to understand why Terry had been avoiding her.

Now, the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sorrow. The elderly woman had her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask. “It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.” the grandmother says. She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. As a college teacher and a writer herself, Zhang gave her mother a lot of encouragement and help. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even hailed it as the “lived history of a nation plagued by war, death and hunger”. So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600,000 characters in length. In her spare time, she is also learning painting and calligraphy. “I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly. 4. Why did Jiang Shumei start to learn characters? A. The suggestion of her husband. B. Her daughter’s car accident. C. To get rid of sadness. D. To learn something more. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How she learned characters. B. How she wrote down characters. C. How she met new characters. D. How she learnt to sing the songs. 6. What did Jiang Shumei’s brother think of her behaviour? A. He spoke highly of it. B. He thought she was daydreaming. C. He worried about her. D. He didn’t care about it. 7. What can we learn from Jiang Shumei’s words in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Reading enriches the mind. D. It’s never too late to learn. C Bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food: from almonds (杏仁) to berries and the alfalfa (苜蓿) that feeds dairy cows. Our diets and agricultural economy hinge on a healthy bee population. However, rapid declines in bee population around the world put additional stress on an already unstable food supply by depressing yields and agricultural efficiency. While bee biologists do not foresee upcoming food system collapse without honey bees, we do know that agriculture would quickly become unrecognizable—and much more limited. Farmers are on the frontlines of the economic impacts of bee decline. For example, the cost of almond pollination (授粉) has nearly tripled since colonies began collapsing in 2004, costing that industry over $83 million per year. The causes behind recent bee declines are not a “mystery”. Independent scientists now largely agree that bee declines are caused by a combination of several factors, including: poor nutrition, habitat loss and pesticide (杀虫剂) exposure. In the last several years, pesticides — both alone and in combination with other pesticides — have emerged as a key catalyst (催化剂) behind this disturbing phenomenon, both because of their direct toxicity to bees and their indirect and cascading effects. Scientists know that individual bees can be acutely poisoned while flying through pesticide-contaminated planter dust in a recently planted corn field. More commonly, they are chronically poisoned at sublethal (亚致死) levels by eating and drinking contaminated pollen, nectar and water over time. Bees are then more likely to get sick. As an indicator species, honey bees are sounding an alarm that we ignore at our peril. Among their lessons: industrial agriculture has gone off the rails. The pesticide treadmill has kicked into high gear with a class of dangerous systemic pesticides—while regulators were asleep at the switch. So let’s keep the heat on decision makers to take meaningful action. 8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean? A. Cut down. B. Contribute to. C. Depend on. D. Go against. 9. What is the topic discussed in paragraph 2 — 3? A. The impact of rapid declines in bee population. B. The role of farmers in agriculture. C. The ignorance of the effect on food system. D. The cost of almond pollination. 10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 4 as the factor for bee declines? A. Poor in nutrition. B. Economic impacts. C. Loss of habitat. D. Exposure to pesticides. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To express sympathy for the affected farmers. B. To show the factors resulting in the bees’ crisis. C. To explain a key catalyst to the bees’ problem. D. To urge decision makers to take action for bees. D Following the tradition of wearing new clothes for the Chinese New Year, hanfu, or traditional Chinese clothing, has experienced substantial growth during the festive season. The horse face skirt is particularly popular for its combination of traditional and modern elements, especially among young Chinese. During the Spring Festival, many performers and tourists in Luoyang, Henan Province, showcased the horse face skirts. Gorgeous hanfu shows in Caoxian County, Shandong Province, one of the major hanfu production bases in China, highlighted the elegance of the long tradition of Chinese clothing. Consumers expressed their desire to promote traditional Chinese culture as hanfu styles become more common.

Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo. This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics. “Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Terry? I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived. “Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily. The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it. The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again! After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry. Then, Mo decided to go to the office. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth Mo felt guilty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
