What do people usually put in their living rooms? Maybe you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers (设计师) Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony van den Bossche don’t think that is enough. They want to put something new in people’s living rooms. So they create (创造) a do-it-yourself ecosystem (自制的生态系统) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner (物主) grow fish and plants inside tanks (缸) in their living rooms.
In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem (生态系统), the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean, so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the “Local River” can keep the balanced environment (平衡的环境), and only need a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium (冰箱水族馆)” by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able to grow fish and plants in the “Local River” before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.
The “Local River” ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.

根据前文“Reading is good for you. The more you read,the more you learn,the better you understand life.” 及后面提到“Sometimes,people do want to read,but they can never seem to find the time. Well,my fiends,the following suggestions are for you.”可知,这里提出读书建议,那么应该是有些人不知道怎么阅读,所以选项E“然而,大多数人不读书”符合语境。故选E。
【47题详解】
根据后文提到“If you’re attracted to the book, you will be willing to pick it up and read it.”可知,这里应该是建议读感兴趣的书,所以选项D“读一些有趣的东西”符合语境。故选D。
【48题详解】
结合本段小标题“Have a goal”可知,这里讲的是“自己设定目标”,再根据“You can start by reading a book a month or a book every two months even.”可知,每天的阅读量是由自己决定的,所以选项A“这完全取决于你”符合语境。故选A。
【49题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes the thing which stops us from reading is our own mind.”可知,这里提到我们的大脑会阻止我们阅读,所以选项C“我们的大脑会编造各种借口不去做某事”。符合语境。故选C。
50题详解】
根据“If you’re willing to read and have decided to do,use every possible moment to read. On the bus. On the subway.”可知,本段是建议在任何可以阅读的时间和地方,所以选项B“尽可能多地阅读”。符合语境。故选B。
四、交际应用 (本题共10分,每空1分)
根据对话内容,从方框中选择恰当的选项补全对话,其中有两项多余。
A: Jim, what are you doing?
B: ____51____

【解析】
【分析】Jim在Emma的房间和狗狗玩,把Emma的房间弄的乱七八糟的,Emma看到一定很生气。所以Jim希望朋友能够帮助他收拾屋子。
【51题详解】
问句“…what are you doing?”是询问正在做什么,因此回答应该是一个现在进行时的句子。B选项意为“我在Emma的屋子里和我的宠物狗玩”,符合情景。故选B。
【52题详解】
联系上下文,上一句“When she sees this, she’ll be angry.”可知当Emma看到屋子里一团糟的时候会生气,回答“Clean her room.”可知是想让Emma不生气需要打扫房间,因此可判断2空应该是询问怎么做才能让Emma不生气。G选项意为“我应该怎么做”,符合情景。故选G。
【53题详解】
根据回答“No problem.”可知3空应该是寻求帮助,A选项意为“你能帮我做几件事吗”,符合情景。故选A。
【54题详解】
根据上文“Could you please help out with a few things?”可知上文请求帮助,回答应该问做哪些事。E选项意为“你想让我做什么”,符合情景。故选E。
【55题详解】
根据回答“Oh, no! Please help me first.”可知此空应该表示朋友想先做其他事。D选项意为“但是我能先完成作业吗”,符合情景。故选D。

【答案】56. pick
57. answer 58. at
59. times 60. while
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Mary昨晚多次给Linda打电话,但Linda都没有接到电话的原因。
【56题详解】
根据“I called at seven and you didn’t ... up.”可知,此处是指接电话,pick up“接电话”,固定短语,didn’t后跟原形。故填pick。
【57题详解】
根据“I called again at eight and you didn’t ... then either.”可知,此处是指也没有接电话,answer“接电话”,didn’t后跟动词原形。故填answer。
【58题详解】
根据“But then I called at nine.”及“Oh, I was sleeping ... that time.”可知,此处是指在那时正在睡觉,at that time“那时”,介词短语。故填at。
【59题详解】
根据“Why did you call so many”及前文打电话的次数可知,此处是问为什么打那么多次电话,time“次数”,many后跟复数。故填times。
【60题详解】
根据“So ... you were sleeping, I called Jenny and she helped me.”可知,此处是说在你睡觉期间,我打电话给Jenny,while“在……期间”,引导时间状语从句。故填while。

【62题详解】
句意:美猴王或孙悟空是中国传统名著《西游记》中的主角。根据“The Monkey King or Sun Wukong”并结合常识可知,孙悟空是《西游记》中的角色,Journey to the West“《西游记》”,书名中实词首字母大写,应把形容词western“西方的”变形为West“西方”。故填West。

句意:在其他时候,他能把它变大变长。分析句子结构,空前为other“其他的”,后接名词复数形式,结合语义及所给词,考查短语at other times“在其他时候”,作时间状语,times作宾语。故填times。
【67题详解】
句意:多年来,孙悟空一直让中国的孩子们兴奋不已。根据空前助动词has可知,此处表示现在完成时,空处应用动词过去分词形式,结合全文内容可推测《西游记》是吸引孩子的,结合所给词可知,此处填excited“使……兴奋”。故填excited。
【68题详解】
句意:三十多年前,这个电视节目一播出,西方的孩子们就对这个故事产生了兴趣,因为聪明的孙悟空一直在努力帮助弱小,从不放弃。分析句子结构可知,此处是谓语动词,结合“because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up”及所给词可推测,因为美猴王扶持弱小,从不放弃的美好品质,西方孩子对《西游记》产生了兴趣,且此处表示过去的动作,用一般过去时,应填became interested in。故填became interested in。
(B)
Everyone likes gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some gifts are never too small. A little child may give his mother a leaf from a tree, which is enough to make her very happy. Gift giving is different in different countries. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone else. Many people have enough things and don’t want too many gifts themselves. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to spend too much money. Instead, making a meal is enough.

I’ll love my eyes from now on.
【答案】范文:
May 26th, Friday Sunny
It is the last weekday of this week. The weather is sunny and cool. I feel very happy because the relaxing weekend is coming.
I listened to a report about eye health today. It was given in the school meeting room at 2:40 p.m. And it was about teenagers’ short eyesight and problems in protecting eyes. I learned a lot about the importance of eye health. From the report, I know the number of the Chinese teenagers with short eyesight is increasing. I think it’s lucky for me to listen to the report in time. Eyes are the windows of the soul. I don’t like having a pair of eyes behind glasses. So I decide to protect my eyes from now on.
I also suggest that students should do eye exercises regularly. Everyone should get eyes to rest enough and never use eyes too long at a time. I hope that the situation of Chinese teenagers’ eyesight can be improved. I wish myself and all my friends can own a pair of clear and bright eyes. I’ll love my eyes from now on.

There was a man living with his wife and son in a big city. The husband was busy working every day. Even though he returned home, he usually just had dinner and slept without playing with his son.
Once, when he was eating his dinner, his son asked him, “Dad, how much do you get from your work an hour?” His father said, “Why do you ask such question?” “I just want to know it,” said his son. The father said, “Well, I get twenty dollars an hour.” “Well. Then can you lend me ten dollars?” his son continued. His father thought he was so busy with his work for money to pay for their life. His son shouldn’t ask him for money to buy toys. So he shouted at his son, “I had no time to play with you. Go away.” The little kid said nothing and returned to his bedroom. The father went to sleep, but he couldn’t fall asleep. He thought whether he was too bad to his son. So he came to his son and said, “Son, I shouldn’t shout at you. Now take the ten dollars.” The son took the money and put it with some other bills and counted them carefully. Then the son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, here is twenty dollars. Could you play with me for an hour?” Tears (眼泪) fell down the father’s face.
Time can be used for money or for family and love. Don’t forget what we make money for.
根据短文内容判断正、误,正确的写(A),错误的写(B)。
36. The man lived with his son and wife in a city, but he seldom played with his son.
37. The father was busy making money for his family, but he forgot his family also needed his company (陪伴).

What do people usually put in their living rooms? Maybe you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers (设计师) Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony van den Bossche don’t think that is enough. They want to put something new in people’s living rooms. So they create (创造) a do-it-yourself ecosystem (自制的生态系统) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner (物主) grow fish and plants inside tanks (缸) in their living rooms.
In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem (生态系统), the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean, so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the “Local River” can keep the balanced environment (平衡的环境), and only need a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium (冰箱水族馆)” by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able to grow fish and plants in the “Local River” before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.
The “Local River” ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
