Whether it’s your favorite author’s new release or a new writer’s first work, great fiction books make the perfect escape from ordinary life. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of the best new books released in February. Age of Gold by Jerry Lapoor Jerry Lapoor’s latest action-packed novel unfolds like a crazy movie.

B In 2019, after retiring from her career as a social worker, Ane Freed - Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving. “I might be covered head to to e in dust but I’m happy — it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60,” she says. This appeal has its origins in Freed - Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures (质地) of stones,” she says. After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed - Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.” Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed-Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering (锤打).” Now 65, Freed-Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from £ 200 to £ 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour (劳动力).” 4. Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when ______. A. she was 60 B. she was a child C. her father died D. she moved to England 5. What can we infer about Freed-Kernis from paragraph 3? A. She never cared about her father. B. She led a disappointing life in Denmark. C. She spent lots of time studying stone carving. D. She learned stone carving under the influence of her dad. 6. How did Freed-Kernis feel when she started stone carving course? A. Hopeful and proud. B. Confident and satisfied. C. Nervous and frightened. D. Impatient and unprepared. 7. Why is Freed-Kernis making smaller pieces? A. They are easier to move by her. B. They are more affordable to people. C. She wants to save costs and labour. D. She is too old to focus on making large ones. C In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头) officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years. “Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal (海洋哺乳动物) Center in Sausalito, California. “California sea lions are sentinels (哨兵) of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing. For nearly 35 years, the slippery (滑的) residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake. The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.” 8. How does the author start the text? A. By describing a situation. B. By answering a question. C. By holding a conversation. D. By comparing different opinions. 9. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Sharp increase. B. Tight control. C. Slow development. D. Sudden movement. 10. What is Ratner’s attitude to the final decision? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Sea lions are pretty cool animals. B. Animals and humans can live in harmony. C. Watching sea lions might not be a proper action. D. Sea lions should be driven out of PIER 39. D This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it. The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works. However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data. 12. What can we learn about MusicLM? A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched. B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences. C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words. D. It generates complex writings from a simple description. 13. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM? A. They can take the place of musicians. B. They have gained commercial success. C. They don't have any practical use in life. D. They are based on huge amounts of data. 14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model? A. Creating music with strong biases. B. Requiring too much training data. C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. The future of humans with AI B. A new AI tool to make music C Music created by some AI tools D. AI and its function in culture development 第二节(共5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。 Signs That You Are Growing Growing is a lifelong process.

She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s. Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home. After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom. “I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?” Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项 disappoint   ride   take   suggest   bore  suddenly   phone   look   how   friend   her   tired A Different Way to Spend Summer __out of the window, Sadie sighed and wondered__her friends spent their summer vacations. → Sadie felt quite__. ↓ ↓ All of a __she came up with and idea that she could invite her friend Wendy__ bikes. → Sadie raced to the living room and picked up the__. ↓ ↓ Since Wendy didn’t answer the phone, Sadie called other__, but nobody was at home. → Sadie felt quite__. ↓ ↓ Without anything to do, Sadie turned to her mom for__. → Mom told Sadie sometimes it was nice to do things by __. 47.

This appeal has its origins in Freed - Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures (质地) of stones,” she says. After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed - Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.” Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed-Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering (锤打).” Now 65, Freed-Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from £ 200 to £ 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour (劳动力).” 4.

Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures(质地) of stones,” she says.(这种吸引力源于弗里德-克尼斯的童年。她在父亲的丹麦农场长大，过去常常在田野里漫步，眼睛盯着地面，寻找石头来增加她的收藏。“我一直被石头的形状和纹理所吸引，”她说。)”可知，当她是个孩子时，弗里德-克尼斯第一次被石头吸引。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.”(在2005年父亲去世之前，石头是她最不关心的事情。她说:“他退休后参加了一个石雕课程，我一直觉得石头看起来很有趣，但我自己从来没有时间去研究它。”“他死后，我决心向他学习。”)”可知，她在父亲的影响下学习石刻。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed - Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering(锤打).”(弗里德-克尼斯报名参加了约克郡雕塑公园为期一周的石雕课程，开始学习如何将一块岩石变成精心设计的形状。“一开始真的很可怕，因为你要花几个小时来敲击。”)”可知，当她开始石雕课程时弗里德-克尼斯紧张并害怕，故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的““I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour(劳动力).”(“我在做小一点的，”她说。“我不必太依赖钱，所以我想把价格保持在人们能承受的范围内，主要是为了支付成本和劳动力。”)”可知，弗里德-克尼斯制作更小的石雕是为了让人们买得起。故选B。 C In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头) officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years. “Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal (海洋哺乳动物) Center in Sausalito, California. “California sea lions are sentinels (哨兵) of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing. For nearly 35 years, the slippery (滑的) residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake. The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.” 8. How does the author start the text? A. By describing a situation. B. By answering a question. C. By holding a conversation. D. By comparing different opinions. 9. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Sharp increase. B. Tight control. C. Slow development. D. Sudden movement. 10. What is Ratner’s attitude to the final decision? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Sea lions are pretty cool animals. B. Animals and humans can live in harmony. C. Watching sea lions might not be a proper action. D. Sea lions should be driven out of PIER 39. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了通过讲述海狮数量的增加，说明人与动物可以和睦相处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头)officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years.(在旧金山，一大群海狮从海湾水域出来，在39号码头闲逛，这是一个受欢迎的旅游目的地。据码头官员称，这是15年来在该地区看到的最多的海狮。)”可推断，作者通过描述一种情况开始介绍文章。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文““Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media.( 39号码头港务长希拉·钱德尔告诉许多不同的媒体:“本周已经统计了1000多只海狮。”)”并结合下文“is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment(通常是它们数量众多和健康生活环境的好兆头)”可知，海狮在数量激增，画线词与A项意思相近，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”(拉特纳说，最终的决定是让海狮留下来与人类共存。“事实证明，这确实是一件好事，”他说。“这只是我们如何真正合作的一个证明，并思考我们如何与海洋哺乳动物和其他野生动物共享我们的海岸，以一种有利于所有相关方的方式。”)”可推断，Ratner对于最终决定是支持的。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“ “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”( “事实证明，这确实是一件好事，”他说。“这只是我们如何真正合作的一个证明，并思考我们如何与海洋哺乳动物和其他野生动物共享我们的海岸，以一种有利于所有相关方的方式。”)”并通读全文可推断，通过这篇文章，作者想要传递的信息是人类和动物可以和睦相处。故选B。 D This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it. The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works. However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data. 12. What can we learn about MusicLM? A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched. B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences. C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words. D. It generates complex writings from a simple description. 13. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM? A. They can take the place of musicians. B. They have gained commercial success. C. They don't have any practical use in life. D. They are based on huge amounts of data. 14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model? A. Creating music with strong biases. B. Requiring too much training data. C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. The future of humans with AI B. A new AI tool to make music C. Music created by some AI tools D. AI and its function in culture development 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌研发了一种叫做MusicLM的AI智能工具，这种AI工具可以根据书面描述和其他输入创建音乐。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.(但谷歌提供的例子展示了基于有限的描述性词语的音乐创作能力。)”和第二段中“Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as ‘jazz’, ‘rock’ or ‘techno (高科技舞曲)’. (MusicLM制作的几个不同的音乐示例在网上发布。一些生成的音乐仅来自一两个词的描述，如‘爵士’、‘摇滚’或‘科技’。)”可知，关于MusicLM我们能了解到它能根据简单的描述词创作音乐。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. (这些工具可以产生类似人类的结果，因为它们经过了大量数据的训练。)”可知， ChatGPT和MusicLM之间的相似之处是它们都是基于大量的数据。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. (研究人员发现的最大问题之一是训练数据中存在的偏见。偏见可能是包括了太多的一方面，而没有足够的另一方面。)”可知，MusicLM模型的问题是创作带有强烈偏见的音乐。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. (本周，谷歌研究人员发表了一篇论文，描述了一种用于创作音乐的人工智能工具的结果。这个名为MusicLM的工具并不是第一个推出的人工智能音乐工具。)”并结合全文可知，本文讲述了谷歌研发出叫做MusicLM的AI智能工具，这种AI工具可以根据书面描述和其他输入创建音乐。选项B符合主题，故选B项。 第二节(共5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。 Signs That You Are Growing Growing is a lifelong process.

We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes. You always complete things that matter Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. ____18____. In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments. You accept the possibility of being wrong ____19____. They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn. Being mature is knowing that you are always growing up.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了四种表明你变得成熟的迹象。 【16题详解】 根据本段内容“Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.(通常，我们看到人们因为不重要的事情而过度沮丧时的样子是多么糟糕。所以成熟的第一个标志就是让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气)”可知，本段提到“让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气”，即建议不计较小事情。故B项“你不计较小事”适合作本节的小标题。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据标题“You start forgiving and understanding other people(你开始原谅和理解别人)”；空前“As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white.(随着我们的成熟，我们能够更好地理解非黑即白的世界)”及空后“It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments.(它使我们能够超越显而易见的事物，放弃简单的判断)”可知，本段的主旨是理解他人，更好地理解非黑即白的世界，F选项中understanding对应标题中understanding。故F项“变得更加善解人意是一种力量，而不是软弱”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed.(不成熟的人不知道什么时候该承诺自己，他们的精力和资源总是没有得到很好的利用)”及空后“In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.(通过这种方式，他们通常可以遵守他们的承诺和履行他们的承诺)”可知，上文提到了不成熟的人的做法，可知本句是在说明成熟的人会怎么做。C选项中mature people与上文Immature people相对应。故C项“相反，成熟的人专注于完成重要的事情”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本节的小标题“You accept the possibility of being wrong(你接受错误的可能性)”及空后“They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.(他们总是能够接受自己错了的可能性，接受自己不知道的可能性，因为总有更多的东西需要学习)”可知，后文提到了某种人能够接受自己错了的可能性，认识到有更多的东西需要学习，G选项中Mature people对应后文They。故G项“成熟的人看起来更自信，然而，他们并不是过度自信”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前“You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority.(你永远不会停止学习和发展。这意味着你没有把自己设定为最高权威)”可知，上文提到了“没有把自己设定为最高权威”，故本句与上文构成转折，指出这种特性会导致的结果：你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性。故E项“相反，你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was Jennifer Williams’ mother who got her interested in books.

All in all, Tomb-Sweeping Day is a combination of sadness and ____45____ (happy). 【答案】36. has been celebrated 37. or 38. who/that 39. amazing 40. to travel 41. chatting 42. themselves 43. made 44. the 45. happiness 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了清明节的起源、意义、相关习俗以及人们在这一天通常会进行的活动。 【36题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：到目前为止，清明节已经在中国庆祝了几个世纪。这里为本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“so far”可知，本句时态为现在完成时；主语为“Tomb-Sweeping Day”，单数，和动词“celebrate”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填has been celebrated。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：它是一个中国的节日，也是中国的二十四节气之一，通常是在公历的4月4日或5日。根据空前的“4th”和空后的“5th”是选择关系，用or连接。故填or。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同时，这也是人们缅怀去世的家人的日子。这里为定语从句的关系代词，先行词为“family members”，在定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：随着树木变绿，阳光明媚，人们会外出享受美妙的春天。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词形式，修饰空后的名词“spring”。动词amaze的形容词形式有两种：amazed，意为“感到惊讶的”，修饰人；amazing，意为“美妙的、令人惊叹的”，修饰物。故填amazing。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们会借此机会一起旅行，在公园里散步，谈笑风生。非谓语担当目的状语，用动词不定式形式。故填to travel。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们会借此机会一起旅行，在公园里散步，谈笑风生。非谓语动词担当状语，主语“they”和动词“chat”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填chatting。 【42题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：因此，清明节不仅是纪念逝者的日子，也是人们娱乐的日子。固定短语：enjoy oneself，意为“娱乐”，符合句意。故填themselves。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在清明节这天，人们经常吃一种绿色的糯米团。非谓语动词担当后置定语，被修饰词“a kind of green colored balls”和动词“make”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填made。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：绿色来自添加在大米中的雀麦草的汁液。修饰名词单数，表示特指，用定冠词the。故填the。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：总之，清明节是悲伤和快乐的结合。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式担当宾语，和空前的“sadness”保持一致。故填happiness。 第四部分 任务型阅读（共2节，满分20分） 任务型阅读 Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer. She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s. Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home. After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom. “I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?” Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项 disappoint   ride   take   suggest   bore  suddenly   phone   look   how   friend   her   tired A Different Way to Spend Summer __out of the window, Sadie sighed and wondered__her friends spent their summer vacations. → Sadie felt quite__ ↓ ↓ All of a __she came up with and idea that she could invite her friend Wendy__ bikes. → Sadie raced to the living room and picked up the__. ↓ ↓ Since Wendy didn’t answer the phone, Sadie called other__, but nobody was at home. → Sadie felt quite__. ↓ ↓ Without anything to do, Sadie turned to her mom for__. → Mom told Sadie sometimes it was nice to do things by __. 47.

Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park.(她可以叫她的朋友Wendy，Wendy总是有有趣的想法。也许她们可以一起骑自行车在公园里转一圈。)”可知，Sadie想邀请Wendy一起起自行车，这里应用动词ride，invite sb. to do sth.意为“邀请某人做某事”，所以空处应用不定式作宾补，所以第五空应填to ride。 6. 考查名词。根据第二段中的“Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy.(Sadie跑到客厅，拿起电话，给Wendy打了电话。)”可知，Sadie跑到客厅，拿起电话，空前有the，空处应用名词，所以第六空应填phone。 7. 考查名词。根据第二段中的“She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.(她真的不想看电视，所以她去了自己的房间，找到了学校好朋友的电话号码表。在客厅里，她几乎给他们每个人都打了电话，但家里没有人。)”可知，她给其他的朋友都打了电话，但是没有人在家，这里应用名词friend，空前有other，空处应用名词复数，所以第七空应填friends。 8. 考查形容词。根据第三段中的““Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie.(Sadie说：“妈妈，我没有人可以一起玩，因为我学校的朋友不在家，Allison搬走了。”)”可知，Sadie想和朋友一起出去玩，但是联系不到一个朋友，所以内心感到很失望，空前有felt，这里应用形容词作表语，所以第八空应填disappointed。 9. 考查名词。根据第三段“After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.(挂断电话后，Sadie走进厨房，坐在桌子旁，看着妈妈打扫卫生。Sadie说：“妈妈，我没有人可以一起玩，因为我学校的朋友不在家，Allison搬走了。”。妈妈说：“亲爱的，你可以自己做很多事情，比如弹吉他或在花园里散步。你甚至可以完成我们露营旅行的故事。”)”可知，Sadie找不到事情做，于是找妈妈寻求建议，空处应用名词suggestion，为可数名词，前面没有限定词修饰，这里应用复数形式，所以第九空应填suggestions。 10. 考查代词。根据第三段中妈妈的话“Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself(亲爱的，你可以自己做很多事情)”和第四段中妈妈的话“Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself(有时候，自己做事情很好)”可知，妈妈建议Sadie自己做一些事，by onself意为“独自”，为固定搭配，这里指Sadie，应用herself，所以第十空应填herself。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer.(Sadie望着窗外，叹了口气，想着夏天又是一个漫长而无聊的日子。)”和第三段中的““Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie.(Sadie说：“妈妈，我没有人可以一起玩，因为我学校的朋友不在家，Allison搬走了。”)”可知，Sadie望着窗外叹气，因为她最好的朋友Allison搬走了，其他学校的朋友都不在家，她没有人可以一起玩，感到很无聊。故答案为：Because (her friends were not at home and her best friend Allison had moved away to a different city and) she didn’t have anyone to hang out during her summer vacation. 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing.(Sadie想起了去年夏天她和她最好的朋友Allison去海滩时的乐趣。她们建造沙堡，打沙滩排球，甚至尝试冲浪。)”可知，去年暑假Sadie和她最好的朋友Allison在海边度过假日，她们一起建造沙堡，打沙滩排球，甚至尝试冲浪。故答案为：Sadie spent her vacation last summer at the beach with her best friend Allison. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and tried surfing. 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.(妈妈说：“亲爱的，你可以自己做很多事情，比如弹吉他或在花园里散步。你甚至可以完成我们露营旅行的故事。”)”、第四段中的““Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?”(“有时候，自己做事情很好，”妈妈说。“我喜欢和朋友们见面，但我也喜欢一个人做一些事情，比如自己散步或找一个安静的地方看书。为什么不试试呢？”)”和最后一段“Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room.(Sadie想了想妈妈的话，回到了自己的房间。)”可知，妈妈说有的时候自己做一些事情也很不错，建议Sadie尝试一下，Sadie听了妈妈的话后回到了房间，由此可推测出，她应该会尝试自己做一些事情，比如弹吉他、散步、找一个安静的地方看书、完成露营旅行的故事等。故答案为：After listening to her mother’s words, Sadie will try to do things by herself and find enjoyment in activities like playing her guitar, taking a walk alone, and finding a quiet spot to read. She will also consider finishing the story about their camping trip. 第五部分写作（满分20分） 50. 假定你是李华，你校将举办以“Protect Wild Animals”为主题的英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下提示写一篇英语演讲稿。内容包括： 1. 野生动物的现状； 2. 保护建议； 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Good morning everyone!
