A. over B. across C. through D. past 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——当红灯亮的时候横穿马路太危险了。——是的，但是还是有人会这么做。 考查介词用法。over悬在……上方；across表面横穿；through内部通过；past经过。根据句子中“walk”和“road”可知是在过马路，从马路的一边到另一边，用介词“across”。故选B。 23.

A. even hotter B. more hotter C. much more hot D. much hot 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天很热，今天甚至更热了。 考查形容词比较级及其修饰词。even hotter甚至更热；more hotter错误表达，hotter已是比较级，不能用more来修饰；much more hot错误表达，hot的比较级是hotter；much hot错误表达，much应修饰的是比较级。根据“It was very hot yesterday, and it is...today.”并结合选项可知，今天甚至比昨天更热，even hotter符合语境。故选A。 28. —Look, Mum! ________ fish!

Summer Solstice the 10th solar term of the year, begins on June 21 this year and ends on July 6. At this time, much of the northern hemisphere (半球) receives the most hours of daylight, but it does not bring the hottest temperatures, which will come 20 to 30 days later. Summer Solstice was an important festival in ancient (古代) China. As early as the Han Dynasty, when the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival were not as important as they are today, Summer Solstice was already celebrated then. Before the Qing Dynasty, people even had a one-day holiday on Summer Solstice. According to Song Dynasty, officials (官员) could have three days off during the Summer Solstice. There is a saying in East China’s Shandong Province that goes, “eat dumplings on Winter Solstice and eat noodles on Summer Solstice.” People in different areas of Shandong Province eat chilled noodles on this day. Other people around China, including those in Beijing, also have a tradition of eating noodles. 46. How long does the Summer Solstice last this year? A. About half a month. B. About one month. C. One week. D. Over one month. 47. What do the people in Shandong Province eat on the day of Summer Solstice? A. Dumplings. B. Rice dumplings. C. Chilled noodles. D. Moon cakes. 48. Which of the following is true? A. Summer Solstice wasn’t celebrated in ancient China. B. Summer Solstice brings the hottest temperature of the year. C. Officials can have three days off during the Summer Solstice now. D. People in Beijing have a tradition of eating noodles on Summer Solstice. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了24节气中的夏至。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term of the year, begins on June 21 this year and ends on July 6.”可知，今年的夏至从6月21日开始，到7月6日结束，为期约半个月。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“People in different areas of Shandong Province eat chilled noodles on this day.”可知，在夏至这一天，山东不同地区的人们会吃凉面。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Other people around China, including those in Beijing, also have a tradition of eating noodles.”可知，北京人也有在夏至吃面条的传统。故选D。 B Many kids do housework, such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and washing the clothes. In return, they get some money or some computer time. Paying kids for housework is very popular in some families. Some parents think since adults get money for their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work doesn’t need doing unless (除非) you get something in return (作为回报). “Any kind of housework is a team activity.” Walton said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house, and all the family members decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it.” Other people believe that getting a reward helps to make kids do housework, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are even some apps (应用软件) to help kids do the housework and get the pay. “Our purpose (目的) is to develop kids’ independence (独立) and teach them something about the real world,” says Chris Bergman, “And kids need rewards to help encourage (鼓励) them.” 49. The underlined word “rewards” in Paragraph 2 means “_________” in Chinese. A. 报酬 B. 苦力 C. 惩罚 D. 压力 50. What’s Walton’s idea in Paragraph 2? A. People must work to get some rewards. B. Kids should do all the housework in return. C. Kids should have responsibilities in the house. D. Doing housework is mostly parents’ responsibilities. 51. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Kids should stay away from the housework. B. No apps can help kids to do the housework. C. Rewards help kids to learn real-world lessons. D. Kids shouldn’t get rewards from doing housework. 52. Which of the following would be the best title (标题) for the passage? A Make Children Do More Housework B. Kids Should Study and Do Housework C. Why Don’t Kids Want to Do Housework? D. Should Kids Get Rewards for Doing Housework? 【答案】49. A 50. C 51. C 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了孩子们做家务是否应该付钱给他们的问题。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Some parents think since adults get money for their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards for doing housework.”可知，一些家长认为，既然成年人通过工作挣钱，我们就应该付钱给孩子做日常的家务。但是有些人认为孩子不应该因为做家务而得到奖励。因此reward应意为“奖励、报酬”。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Walton said, ‘A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house, and all the family members decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it.’ ”可知，在Walton看来，家里的每一位成员都有完成家务的责任。故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Other people believe that getting a reward helps to make kids do housework, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to get money. … ‘Our purpose (目的) is to develop kids’ independence (独立) and teach them something about the real world,’ says Chris Bergman, ‘And kids need rewards to help encourage (鼓励) them.’ ”可知，奖励有助于孩子们学习真实世界的课程。故选C。 【52题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Some parents think since adults get money for their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards for doing housework.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了孩子们做家务是否应该付钱给他们的问题，因此这篇文章的最佳标题是“孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗？”。故选D。 C “Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that Mrs White has taught us. It is a simple rule, but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow. This morning, I had an experience (经历) with a “rule breaker” during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat right behind me. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice “I hope you studied well for this test!” I gave him a smile, not sure whether he was joking or not, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little closer towards my paper. “I can’t see!” James said. “What am I going to do?” I thought to myself. Cheating (作弊) went against my belief. I curled (弯曲) my arms around the answers in my test paper. “He’s your friend, and what are friends for?” “But you know it’s wrong.” I tapped (轻拍) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. But no easy answer came. I just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James angry. So I guarded (守卫) my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers. When the exam ended, I stood there for a moment, searching for the right words to say to James. “Sorry, James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating.” I said slowly and softly. “But maybe I could help you study before the next test.” “OK, Brian,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I’ll give it a try.” I felt happy that my friendship with James wasn’t destroyed (被破坏). Mrs White would feel proud (骄傲) of us. 53. Who was the “rule breaker”? A. Mrs White. B. James. C. Brian. D. A boy on Brian’s left. 54. What subject of exam did they take part in? A. Maths. B. English. C. Geography. D. Chinese. 55. Who said the two underlined sentences (划线句子) and in what way? A. Brian, silently in his mind. B. James, in a low voice. C. Mrs White, slowly and softly. D. Brian and James, to each other. 56. Why did the writer think Mrs White would feel proud of them? A. Because he let James copy his answers in the exam. B. Because he and James helped each other in the exam. C. Because both he and James did very well in the exam. D. Because he followed the rule and kept the friendship with James. 【答案】53. B 54. B 55. A 56. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者的朋友在考试时想抄作者的答案，作者认为这种作弊行为是不对的；在考试后作者向朋友解释了他对于这件事情的想法，并告诉朋友可以帮助补习，朋友答应了。作者很开心和朋友之间的友谊没有受到影响，同时还没有破坏老师的规矩，老师也会感到骄傲的。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This morning, I had an experience (经历) with a ‘rule breaker’ during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely.

People started to eat them 6,000,000 years ___76___. To get them, people climbed up trees and picked them ___77___ the nest (鸟巢). People in China and India ___78___ (begin) to keep chickens by about 7000 BC (公元前). They ate ___79___ (they) eggs, so they ___80___ (not) have to go out for bird eggs. In the past, chickens only laid (孵) eggs in spring, not in summer. During that time, there ___81___ (be) lots of daylight, but it wasn’t too hot outside. That’s why we have Easter eggs ___82___ (celebrate) the return of eggs in spring. The ___83___ (early) way for people to eat eggs was eating raw (生的) one. But when people started using fire, people often cooked eggs to eat. Eggs could usually keep fresh for about a month before people had to cat them. So people sometimes fermented (发酵) eggs to make them kept ___84___ (long) than fresh ones. They called them “thousand-year-old” eggs, but they are really kept only a few weeks or ____85____ (month) old. 【答案】76. ago 77. from 78. began 79. their 80. didn’t 81. was 82. to celebrate 83. earliest 84. longer 85. months 【解析】 【导语】本文讲了人们将蛋作为食物的发展变化过程。 【76题详解】 句意：人们在六百万年前开始吃蛋。根据“6000000 years”和动词“started”可知是要表达“之前”。故填ago。 【77题详解】 句意：为了得到鸟蛋，人们爬树从鸟巢上取下它们。根据“picked them”和“the nest”可知中间要填一个介词，通常用“pick...from...”表示“从……取下”。故填from。 【78题详解】 句意：在公元前7000年的中国和印度，人们开始养鸡。根据时间“7000 BC”可知用一般过去时态，“begin”的过去式是“began”。故填began。 【79题详解】 句意：他们吃鸡的蛋，所以不再需要外出找鸟蛋。根据空格后单词“eggs”可知需要填形容词性的物主代词，“their”表示“它们的”。故填their。 【80题详解】 句意：他们吃鸡的蛋，所以不再需要外出找鸟蛋。根据前面句子中的“ate”可知后面句子要用一般过去时态，需用助动词did，根据“not”可知要用否定式。故填didn’t。 【81题详解】 句意：那时，日光充足，但外面不太热。“daylight”表示“日光”是不可数名词，所以be动词要用单数形式，后面句子“wasn’t”是一般过去时态，所以空格用be动词单数的过去式was。故填was。 【82题详解】 句意：这就是为什么我们用复活节的彩蛋来庆祝春天的回归。句子中已经有动词“have”，后面的动词“celebrate”要用动词不定式的形式表目的。故填to celebrate。 【83题详解】 句意：人们最早吃鸡蛋的方式是生吃。根据“eating raw one”和定冠词“The”可知此处应该填“early”的最高级形式，表示“最早的方式”。故填earliest。 【84题详解】 句意：所以人们将鸡蛋发酵，使它们能比新鲜鸡蛋保存更长时间。根据句意和“than”可知要用形容词的比较级形式，“long”的比较级是“longer”。故填longer。 【85题详解】 句意：他们称之为“千岁蛋”，但它们真的只能保存几个星期或几个月。根据前面的“a few”可知后面要用可数名词的复数形式，“month”的复数形式是“months”。故填months。 Ⅶ.短文填空（每题1分，共10分） 根据首字母提示及上下文含义，补全短文中所缺单词。 There are a lot of old towns in China, and Hongcun and Xidi are the most p___86___ ones.

Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term of the year, begins on June 21 this year and ends on July 6. At this time, much of the northern hemisphere (半球) receives the most hours of daylight, but it does not bring the hottest temperatures, which will come 20 to 30 days later. Summer Solstice was an important festival in ancient (古代) China. As early as the Han Dynasty, when the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival were not as important as they are today, Summer Solstice was already celebrated then. Before the Qing Dynasty, people even had a one-day holiday on Summer Solstice. According to Song Dynasty, officials (官员) could have three days off during the Summer Solstice. There is a saying in East China’s Shandong Province that goes, “eat dumplings on Winter Solstice and eat noodles on Summer Solstice.” People in different areas of Shandong Province eat chilled noodles on this day. Other people around China, including those in Beijing, also have a tradition of eating noodles. 46. How long does the Summer Solstice last this year? A. About half a month. B. About one month. C. One week. D. Over one month. 47. What do the people in Shandong Province eat on the day of Summer Solstice? A. Dumplings. B. Rice dumplings. C. Chilled noodles. D. Moon cakes. 48. Which of the following is true? A. Summer Solstice wasn’t celebrated in ancient China. B. Summer Solstice brings the hottest temperature of the year. C. Officials can have three days off during the Summer Solstice now. D. People in Beijing have a tradition of eating noodles on Summer Solstice. B Many kids do housework, such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and washing the clothes. In return, they get some money or some computer time. Paying kids for housework is very popular in some families. Some parents think since adults get money for their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work doesn’t need doing unless (除非) you get something in return (作为回报). “Any kind of housework is a team activity.” Walton said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house, and all the family members decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it.” Other people believe that getting a reward helps to make kids do housework, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are even some apps (应用软件) to help kids do the housework and get the pay. “Our purpose (目的) is to develop kids’ independence (独立) and teach them something about the real world,” says Chris Bergman, “And kids need rewards to help encourage (鼓励) them.” 49. The underlined word “rewards” in Paragraph 2 means “_________” in Chinese. A. 报酬 B. 苦力 C. 惩罚 D. 压力 50. What’s Walton’s idea in Paragraph 2? A. People must work to get some rewards. B. Kids should do all the housework in return. C. Kids should have responsibilities in the house. D. Doing housework is mostly parents’ responsibilities. 51. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Kids should stay away from the housework. B. No apps can help kids to do the housework. C. Rewards help kids to learn real-world lessons. D. Kids shouldn’t get rewards from doing housework. 52. Which of the following would be the best title (标题) for the passage? A. Make Children Do More Housework B. Kids Should Study and Do Housework C. Why Don’t Kids Want to Do Housework? D. Should Kids Get Rewards for Doing Housework? C “Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that Mrs White has taught us. It is a simple rule, but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow. This morning, I had an experience (经历) with a “rule breaker” during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat right behind me. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice “I hope you studied well for this test!” I gave him a smile, not sure whether he was joking or not, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little closer towards my paper. “I can’t see!” James said. “What am I going to do?” I thought to myself. Cheating (作弊) went against my belief. I curled (弯曲) my arms around the answers in my test paper. “He’s your friend, and what are friends for?” “But you know it’s wrong.” I tapped (轻拍) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. But no easy answer came. I just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James angry. So I guarded (守卫) my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers. When the exam ended, I stood there for a moment, searching for the right words to say to James. “Sorry, James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating.” I said slowly and softly. “But maybe I could help you study before the next test.” “OK, Brian,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I’ll give it a try.” I felt happy that my friendship with James wasn’t destroyed (被破坏). Mrs White would feel proud (骄傲) of us. 53. Who was the “rule breaker”? A. Mrs White. B. James. C. Brian. D. A boy on Brian’s left. 54. What subject of exam did they take part in? A Maths. B. English. C. Geography. D. Chinese. 55. Who said the two underlined sentences (划线句子) and in what way? A. Brian, silently in his mind. B. James, in a low voice. C. Mrs White, slowly and softly. D. Brian and James, to each other. 56. Why did the writer think Mrs White would feel proud of them? A. Because he let James copy his answers in the exam. B. Because he and James helped each other in the exam. C. Because both he and James did very well in the exam. D. Because he followed the rule and kept the friendship with James. D People in many countries have Father’s Day. But they don’t have it on the same day. In the US, Father’s Day is on the third Sunday of June. Some Chinese people have Father’s Day on August 8. The Chinese words “eight” and “father” sound the same. So August 8 (“baba”) sounds like “father” in Chinese. Father’s Day has a very short history. Where does the idea for the holiday come from? We should thank an American. In 1909, she wrote letters to some important people. In her letter she advised making Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June. They agreed with (同意) her. In June in 1910, people celebrated the first Father’s Day in Washington. On this day, children can show their love for their fathers. Some children may make cards or give gifts to their fathers. On the cards, children will write “Thanks, Father”, “Happy Father’s Day” and so on. Father’s Day is also a day for families to get together at home or in the restaurants. Father’s Day is a day for Dad! Good dads do a lot for children. They listen to their children’s dreams and encourage them. A good dad is one of the greatest blessings (福气) a child can have. 57. Why do some Chinese people have Father’s Day on August 8? A. Because they like August 8. B. Because August 8 is a good day. C. Because the number eight is lucky. D. Because August 8 sounds like “father” in Chinese. 58. Where does the idea for Father’s Day come from? A. America. B. China. C. The UK. D. Australia. 59. What do children do on Father’s Day according to the passage? A. They make cakes for their fathers. B. They cook breakfast for their fathers. C. They sing and dance for their fathers. D. They make cards or give gifts to their fathers. 60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Good fathers do a lot for their children. B.

Different countries celebrate Father’s Day on different days. 第二节： 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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air.
