B Grass on the Ancient Plain(平原) in Farewell(告别) to a Friend —By Bai Juyi Wild grasses spread over ancient plain; With spring and fall they come and go. Wild fire can't burn them up again; They rise when vernal breezes blow. Their fragrance overruns the way; Their green invades the ruined town. To see my friend go far away; My sorrow grows like grass overgrown. The poem“Grass on the Ancient Plain in Farewell to a Friend”is a famous poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang dynasty. Through the description of the weeds(野草) on the ancient plain, the poem expresses the feeling of farewell to a friend. His friendship is like the overgrow n grass on the ancient plain. It can be seen as an ode(颂歌) to weeds and life. The first four lines focus on the beauty of the life of the weeds through time, while the second four lines focus on their beauty of one time. The poem“Wild fire can't burn them up again; They rise when vernal breezes blow.”shows a kind of“difficulty”and has been recited for thousands of years. This poem is the author's practice work for the examination. According to the record. , ne author entered the capital for the first time. When he visited the famous person Gu Kuang, he showed this poem. At first, Gu Kuang looked at the young man and said, “Living is not easy with rice prices here staying high.”Although he was joking about Bai Juyi's name, he also meant something more: the capital was not a good place to make a living. However, after reading the two lines of“Wild fire can’t burn...”, he couldn’t help appreciating(欣赏) it and said,“Living can be easy with great insight(洞察力).”And it was widely praised. It can be seen that this poem was thought highly of at that time. ( )34. Which of the following rhymes with“plain”? A. Go. B. Again. C. Blow. D. Way. ( )35. 新考法 写作意图 What did the poet want to express with the weeds on the ancient plain? A. The feeling of farewell to a friend. B. The hard life in the capital. C. A kind of difficulty. D.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Bai Juyi wrote the poem for his friend Gu Kuang. B. Gu Kuang appreciated the language in the poem. C. Gu Kuang liked joking about others' names. D. Gu Kuang didn't think Bai Juyi could make a living in the capital. C Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was perhaps born to be an athlete. Sydney's father tried out for the 1984 Olympics in the 400-metre race, while her mother was also a runner. She met Sydney's father in college when she was training with the men's track team(田径队) because there was no women's team. Following their parents' footsteps, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and three other children in her family started running at an early age. Her father finally had to give up the sport because of a serious heart problem. So how did Sydney get into running as a young child? It was the promise of a chocolate bar at the age of 6 that motivated(激励) her in the beginning. Sydney’s dad told her that if she won a kids' race, she would get a chocolate bar. When she was 7, she did just that. She said she stayed with running after that so that she could continue to get chocolate! At 16, Sydney qualified(取得资格) for the Rio 2016 Olympics. At that time, she was the youngest to run for the USA track team in 36 years. Sadly, she didn't make it to the final. Three years later at the World Championship, the young athlete won gold in the 4×100-metre relay and silver in the 400-metr e hurdles(跨栏). Then in the 2020 Olympics, she won gold in both races. Sydney said,“Everyone has their own hurdles, and you don't know who's getting over them faster than anybody else. It's really about devoting yourself to what you have control of.” Her ability to do that is considered one of her greatest strengths. Last July, Sydney lowered her time to 50.68 seconds in the 400-metre hurdles, breaking the world record four times in two years! When asked how she had achieved it, she replied that her faith(信念) had given her the strength to achieve that much. As amazing as all of this is, she never stops looking for ways to improve. And as Sydney looks forward to the 2024 Paris Olympics, everyone else looks forward to watching her run into history. ( )38. What do we know about Sydney's family? A. Her father used to be an athlete. B. There are three children in her family. C. Her parents met at junior high school. D. Her father gave up running because of age. ( )39. Why did Sydney start running? A. To follow her grandparents' footsteps. B. To win the Olympic medal. C. To take her mother's advice. D. To get a bar of chocolate. ( )40. 新考法 写作手法 How does the writer introduce Sydney's achievements? A. By listing facts and numbers. B. By showing others' praise. C. By comparing with others. D. By interviewing her fans. ( )41. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Winning is everything B. A good beginning is half done C. Interest is the best teacher D. Running is in her blood D Can you imagine being able to learn about world history by looking at a coin with the head of Alexander the Great on it or a Chinese Ming dynasty banknote(钞票)? Or how about following mankind's footsteps into modern culture by being able to see an early Victorian tea set? A History of the World in 100 Objects, a project by BBC Radio and the British Museum,presents a history of the world through 100 objects from the British Museum's collection. The objects, most of which are valuable, have brought enjoyment to people all over the world. Those who are lucky enough to see the items in person are able to see the glory(辉煌) of history with their own eyes. “These from the past speak of whole societies rather than single things, and tell of the world for which they were made, sometimes having meanings far beyond what their original(最初的)makers meant them to have,”Neil Mac Gregor, director of the British Museum, wrote in the project's book. I borrowed the book and read it. One item in particular stood out to me. It was a mechanical galleon(机械帆船)—a kind of clock. Its design is based on the great European ships that sailed across the sea in the 1500s. During that period of time, technology was developing at a fast pace,and owning a scientific product was fashionable. The clock, a mixture of the growth of technology and the desire(欲望) to explore other lands, is a perfect symbol of that age. ( )42. 新考法 写作手法How does the writer start the passage? A. By making a conclusion. B. By asking questions. C. By listing numbers. D. By telling a story. ( )43. What does Neil Mac Gregor mean in Paragraph 4? A. People should pay attention to what they were made for. B. People can learn about how they were made. C. The ancient objects told people what society was like in the past. D. The objects brought people a lot of enjoyment. ( )44. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The clock is a perfect symbol of the 1500s. B. The design of the clock is still fashionable today. C. The technology in the 1500s developed slowly. D. The clock once sailed to other countries in the 1500s. ( )45. Which of the following can be the title of the passage? A. A book B. The world history C. Ancient items D. A symbol 四信息还原。(5分) 新素养勤于反思Nobody likes making mistakes. But, no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes, they can move you forward. 46 If you have made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to offer a sincere apology(道歉) in person. 47 If you refuse to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you. If you go through life afraid to make a mistake, you will spend most of your life doing nothing. People usually make mistakes. 48 The more duties you take, the more likely you will make mistakes. Unluckily, it is our natural instinct(本能) to justify(为……辩解) our actions. When you make a mistake, you will first blame(责备) someone else. When mistakes are made, the boss is unlikely to be interested in your words. Sometimes it is best to say, very simply—yes, I made a mistake. Mistakes happen for different reasons. 49 If you make mistakes because you are tired,try to get more sleep; if you are stressed, look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work. You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes. 50 If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren't making progress and they cause repeating trouble. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes, you need to break these bad habits. The sooner, the better. A. There is no harm in making mistakes, and it is a necessary part of going forward. B. But at the same time, you should make a decision to learn from them. C. A good apology will likely make the other person understand you. D. Therefore, you should find out how you can learn from them. E. You may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. F. To avoid repeating them, you need to find the main reason. G. You should smile at the people who apologize to you. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 五词汇运用。(13分) (A)根据汉语注释或首字母提示，写出单词的正确形式。 51.

In his bookMusicophilia, brain scientist Dr Oliver Sacks studies the 59 between music and the brain.He writes about how music improves the lives of 60 , hospital patients, and common people. The stories he writes explain the science of the brain and the way it works. It also tells stories about the experiences of people trying hard to live with 61 conditions. He gives an example of a man whose brain was damaged(损坏), which strangely left him wishing to become a pianist at the age of 42. Another interesting example is of a man whose memory usually lasts only seven seconds, 62 when he listens to music. 63 he hears music, his mind becomes very sharp, with a near-perfect memory. 59. 60. 61. 63. 62. 六 短文填空。(10分) A good way to dine 新素材社会热点 For only 20 yuan, Ms Fang could buy her lunch at a community canteen(食堂) in Suzhou. She had a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice—all very 64 (health). “The dishes have a home-cooked taste,”said Ms Fang. Community canteens have become more and more popular in China recently. They were made for 65 old at first. It can be difficult for some old people to cook 66 their own, so the canteens offer help. They can have lunch and dinner within a 10-minute walk, or community 67 (work) can bring the dishes to them. The meals are cooked 68 (special)for these people. The food is softer and has 69 (little) oil. Now, the community canteens are bringing in more young people. If they don't want to order takeout meals 70 eat at restaurants, the canteens provide them with healthier and cheaper dishes. This also encourages community canteens to think of some 71 (create) ways to provide food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing's Lugu Community brings out buffet-style(自助模式) dishes. They are 72 (sell) at 2.48 yuan per 100 grams. The price is lower than those of restaurants close by. The rise of community canteens couldn't have happened without the work of local governments. They provide subsidies(补贴) for 73 (build) the canteens and the dining expenses(花费) of old people. There are more than 6,700 community canteens in China. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 七 阅读表达。(7分) On Monday, Mrs Bunch told her students that they would take a test about the main countries and capitals on Friday. Students should be able to fill in the countries’ names on a world map and know each country's capital. Kevin and Matt both wanted to do well on the test,but they studied for the test in different ways. Kevin waited until Thursday evening to begin studying. He thought he would be able to remember it better on Friday in this way. On Thursday evening, Kevin took his study notes into the living room so he could watch TV while studying. He read the list of the countries and capitals over and over again. Then he covered up the capitals and tried to remember what they were as he read each country's name. When he felt he knew most of the capitals, he then took out his map and began studying where all the countries were. Since Kevin kept spending time on TV shows, he did not finish his study until very late. Matt, on the other hand, worked in a different way. On Monday evening, he made a set of cards. On one side of the card, he wrote the name of the country and on the other side, he wrote the country's capital. There was one card for each country. He then made several copies of the map of the world with the names of the countries erased(擦掉). Now he could practise writing the names. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Matt spent an hour after supper in his room studying his cards and practising filling in his maps. On his way to school each day, Matt took his cards with him on the bus and practised naming the capitals. He went to bed earlier on Thursday evening. When the boys arrived at school on Friday, they joined their classmates and prepared to take the big test. As Mrs Bunch handed out the test, they both began to work very hard. 74. What would the students be tested about on Friday? 75. Who stayed up late for the test preparation? 76. 新考法 开放性设问 Between the two boys, whose way of studying for the test do you prefer? Why?

(言之有理即可) 八 One possible version: A home means love for me “What's up, dear Lily?”Dad asked in a low voice as usual. “Let’s have some milk tea, my little girl!”Mum's gentleness surprised me, which was totally opposite to her daily strictness and even terribleness. “Sister pig, ha ha! Everything is a piece of cake!”My annoying sister Lucy came and gave me a chocolate. This is the common family style in my home. Although I just failed an exam and was in low spirits, their love can always give me comfort and power to cheer myself up. For me, a home means love. It is a place where kindly feelings exist among all the members. A home without love is no more a home like a body without a soul is not a man. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
