Nowadays heavy traffic can happen anywhere. People can get very anxious if they are in heavy traffic. For many years people have tried to invent a car that can fly. If a person is driving a flying car, the heavy traffic would be far below him.
People around the world hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like, taxis in or out of cities. These cars could save time in emergencies that happen suddenly and help reach places that can’t be reached by road. They also hope to save the space on the ground. Flying cars won’t use runways, because they are able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down.
Last September, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes.
Flying cars need strong power to fly in the sky freely like the airplanes. SkyDrive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries(电池). There are eight motors(发动机) lifting it straight off the ground. The design also produces less pollution.
Although the SD-03’s test flight was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. _______________. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups(备用物). Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $ 500, 000.
Yet people point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges (挑战) at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.
( )31.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _________.
A.the airplane B.Sky Drive C.a battery D.the SD-03
( )32.Which of the following sentences can be put in the _________ in Paragraph 5?
A.The price of the flying cars is not low at all.
B.There are still many challenges in the way.
C.Because it can make our life much easier.
D.Because the motors may fail to work.
( )33.We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________ in the future because of flying cars.
A.no accidents may happen on the streets
B.the sky might become busier and busier
C.people could fly anywhere in ten minutes
D.there may be no cars driving on the streets
D
Some swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
( )34.What did the crow think the swans could not do at first?
A.They could not fly in circles. B.They could not fly over the sea.
C.They could not turn over in the air. D.They could not move their wings.
( )35.What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.angry B.tired C.surprised D.unhappy
( )36.Why did the crow keep touching the water?
A.It was enjoying itself by doing so.
B.It was showing another flying skill.
C.It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water.
D.It was trying to prevent itself dropping into the sea.
( )37.What do we learn from the passage?

六、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。(本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse mean “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup(瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Nowadays heavy traffic can happen anywhere. People can get very anxious if they are in heavy traffic. For many years people have tried to invent a car that can fly. If a person is driving a flying car, the heavy traffic would be far below him.
People around the world hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like, taxis in or out of cities. These cars could save time in emergencies that happen suddenly and help reach places that can’t be reached by road. They also hope to save the space on the ground. Flying cars won’t use runways, because they are able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down.
Last September, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes.
Flying cars need strong power to fly in the sky freely like the airplanes. SkyDrive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries(电池). There are eight motors(发动机) lifting it straight off the ground. The design also produces less pollution.
Although the SD-03’s test flight was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. _______________. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups(备用物). Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $ 500, 000.
Yet people point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges (挑战) at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.
( )31.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _________.
A.the airplane B.Sky Drive C.a battery D.the SD-03
( )32.Which of the following sentences can be put in the _________ in Paragraph 5?
A.The price of the flying cars is not low at all.
B.There are still many challenges in the way.
C.Because it can make our life much easier.
D.Because the motors may fail to work.
( )33.We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________ in the future because of flying cars.
A.no accidents may happen on the streets
B.the sky might become busier and busier
C.people could fly anywhere in ten minutes
D.there may be no cars driving on the streets
【答案】31.D 32.B 33.B
【解析】本文主要介绍了人们想要发明飞行汽车的原因以及日本公司发明的一辆飞行汽车SD-03。
31.词句猜测题。根据第四段“SkyDrive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries.”可知,此处在介绍SD-03飞行汽车的一些基本配置,所以此句“有八个马达把它直接吊离地面”中的“它”应指的是SD-03这个飞行汽车。故选D。
32.推理判断题。根据第五段“Safety is a big problem.”和“Flying cars are also very expensive.”可知,安全和资金问题是飞行汽车发展上亟待解决的问题,也就是说这些都是飞行汽车发展上需要面临的挑战,B选项符合文意。故选B。
33.推理判断题。根据最后一段“… hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.”可推知,随着飞行汽车的发展,未来会有很多人使用飞行汽车,天空可能会变得越来越繁忙。故选B。
D
Some swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
( )34.What did the crow think the swans could not do at first?
A.They could not fly in circles. B.They could not fly over the sea.
C.They could not turn over in the air. D.They could not move their wings.
( )35.What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.angry B.tired C.surprised D.unhappy
( )36.Why did the crow keep touching the water?
A.It was enjoying itself by doing so.
B.It was showing another flying skill.
C.It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water.
D.It was trying to prevent itself dropping into the sea.
( )37.What do we learn from the passage?
A.Pride goes before a fall. B.The early bird catches the worm.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D.Practice makes perfect.
【答案】34.C 35.B 36.D 37.A
【解析】本文讲了骄傲的乌鸦瞧不起天鹅,向天鹅发起挑战,结果在挑战中失败,不得不向天鹅求救,最后被天鹅救了,文章告诉我们骄傲使人落后的道理。
34.细节理解题。根据乌鸦说的“All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it!”可知,乌鸦认为天鹅不能在空中翻转。故选C。
35.词义猜测题。根据“He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water.”可知,后文提到了乌鸦很难在空中停留,不得不挣扎着不让自己掉进水里,因此划线词是“累的”。故选B。
36.推理判断题。根据“He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.”以及天鹅说的“Why do you keep touching the water, brother?”可知,乌鸦是努力防止自己掉入水中。故选D。
37.推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文讲了骄傲的乌鸦瞧不起天鹅,向天鹅发起挑战,结果在挑战中失败,不得不向天鹅求救,最后被天鹅救了,文章告诉我们骄傲使人落后的道理,因为我们可以从文章中得知——骄兵必败。故选A。
第Ⅱ卷(主观题 共50分)
四、词汇运用(本大题共8小题,每小题1分,共8分)
(A)根据句意和汉语注释,写出单词的正确形式。
38.The singer received much (培训) before she became famous.

47.The old lady never (feel) lonely because she always has many friends around.
【答案】feels
【解析】句意:这位老太太从不感到孤独,因为她身边总是有很多朋友。feel“感觉”,根据“because he always has many friends around.”并结合语境,该句是一般现在时,主语是“The old lady”,动词填三单形式。故填feels。
48.How time flies! It is 50 years since my grandpa (marry) my grandma.
【答案】married
【解析】句意:时间过得真快!我爷爷和我奶奶结婚已经50年了。本句是句型“It is +一段时间+since从句”,意为“自从……以来已经多长时间了”,从句用一般过去时,所以空处用marry的过去式married,故填married。

—Yes, I got a letter from him yesterday.

53.Mr. Liu (tie) the newspapers in bundle (捆) when I entered the office.
【答案】was tying
【解析】句意:当我走进办公室时,刘先生正在把报纸捆扎起来。根据“when I entered the office”可知是指当“我”走进办公室时,正在发生的动作,应用过去进行时,即“was/were+动词现在分词”形式;主语是Mr. Liu,be动词用was。故填was tying。
六、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。(本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse mean “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup(瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

A Wonderful Trip
Last week, my parents and I went to Beijing by plane. Beijing is the capital of China. It’s very beautiful. There are many tall buildings in Beijing.
We stayed there for four days. The weather was very hot, but I was still excited. The first day, we went to the Great Wall. We were so tired that we couldn’t say a word, but we had a wonderful experience. The second day, we visited the Summer Palace and the Palace Museum. The third day, we went to the countryside of Beijing to go boating and fishing. It was very interesting. The last day, we bought lots of presents for my grandparents. And we ate many delicious food. Beijing Duck is my favourite.
I will never forget this trip.

Nowadays heavy traffic can happen anywhere. People can get very anxious if they are in heavy traffic. For many years people have tried to invent a car that can fly. If a person is driving a flying car, the heavy traffic would be far below him.
People around the world hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like, taxis in or out of cities. These cars could save time in emergencies that happen suddenly and help reach places that can’t be reached by road. They also hope to save the space on the ground. Flying cars won’t use runways, because they are able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down.
Last September, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes.
Flying cars need strong power to fly in the sky freely like the airplanes. SkyDrive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries(电池). There are eight motors(发动机) lifting it straight off the ground. The design also produces less pollution.
Although the SD-03’s test flight was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. _______________. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups(备用物). Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $ 500, 000.
Yet people point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges (挑战) at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.

A.the airplane B.Sky Drive C.a battery D.the SD-03

( )33.We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________ in the future because of flying cars.

Some swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
( )34.What did the crow think the swans could not do at first?
A.They could not fly in circles. B.They could not fly over the sea.
C.They could not turn over in the air. D.They could not move their wings.

六、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。(本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse mean “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup(瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
