But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing water. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. The special event of ice fishing at Chagan Lake is sure to continue into the future. It’s a hit with tourists, and the locals say that the life of Chagan Lake will only get better and better. 26. According to the passage, what is Chagan Lake famous for? A. Cold weather. B.

That was our usual weekend activity, but a surprise was waiting for us. There, in our yard, we saw two adult geese（鹅）and a small baby goose. The adults were startled by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We were no strangers to the ways of wild animals, so we knew we should avoid touching the baby goose or it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever. Hours passed, and night fell. It became very cold. At that point, we knew we had to help and we brought him into our house. We all pretty much slept with one eye open until morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them though, and they wouldn’t come close enough to take him back. My sister Joanna decided to call the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping（唧唧叫）noise without stopping. Almost a year passed. My family filled our days with Peeper’s hugs and my dad would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a circle around the house. One evening, my uncle came, and my dad wanted to show him Peeper’s circle. He threw him up into the air, but this time, Peeper just flew off. Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a wonderful memory for my family. Geese are very loyal（忠诚的）, and never forget their first home. Even so, I was still shocked when an old adult goose came to my home. At first, I guessed it was just another goose. After two weeks of the goose coming back again and again, it became clear to me that this wasn’t another goose. My old best friend returned, 20 years later. People need connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love. 31. The writer’s family saw the geese family ________. A. before they went back home B. after they finished playing tennis ball C. in front of the gate of their house D. when the geese were flying around the yard 32. The baby goose could stay in the writer’s house because ________ . A. Joanna decided to give him a name B. the family promised to protect him C. the baby goose may be in danger without help D. the writer’s dad loves to play with the baby goose 33.

A Friendly Goose 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了多年前离开作者一家的雏鹅，长大后又回来了，这只雏鹅给作者一家带来了美好的回忆。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother and I were coming back from a tennis ball game. That was our usual weekend activity, but a surprise was waiting for us. There, in our yard, we saw two adult geese（鹅）and a small baby goose.”可知作者的家人打完网球后，他们看到了鹅一家。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Hours passed, and night fell. It became very cold. At that point, we knew we had to help and we brought him into our house.”（几个小时过去了，夜幕降临了。天气变得很冷。在那一刻，我们知道我们必须帮忙，我们把他带回家。）可推测雏鹅可以留在作者家是因为不帮助雏鹅，它可能会被冻死或遇到危险。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The adults were startled by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. ”可知大鹅飞走了，但它们的孩子太小不能飞，也不能跟着飞，可推测它们被作者和家人吓了一跳，飞走了，startled意为“惊吓的”。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a wonderful memory for my family.”可知Peeper给作者的家人留下了美好的回忆。故选A。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。文章通篇讲述了多年前离开作者一家的雏鹅，长大后又回来了，这只雏鹅给作者一家带来了美好的回忆，C选项“我的鹅回家了”最符合。故选C。 When you eat a pineapple, the pineapple eats you? Now, don’t be afraid. This question is not about a pineapple monster that eats people. In fact, the common pineapple sold in supermarkets can “eat” a little bit of you. When you eat something, your stomach breaks down its large molecules（分子）into smaller ones. In the same way, pineapples can “eat” you by breaking down the molecules. Pineapples have certain enzymes that can break down proteins（蛋白质）. To understand this better, you can imagine a pearl necklace. Many smaller molecules—the pearls—come together to form the long necklace of a protein. You can cut a necklace with a pair of scissors. In the same way, the enzymes in pineapples “cut up” proteins. Proteins are an important part of the cells（细胞）in your body. If an enzyme can break down a protein, it has the ability to damage cells. When you eat pineapple, the enzymes in it will “eat” the cells of your tongue. This is why your mouth will hurt if you eat too much pineapple. But luckily, the cells in your tongue will be well fast. And after you have eaten the pineapple, the special enzymes will end up getting broken down by your stomach. It won’t “eat” you anymore. Why does pineapple have these enzymes? Some scientists believe that they are created by the plant to prevent animals from eating its immature（未成熟的）fruits. Once the fruit is mature, its enzymes won’t hurt an animal’s tongue and the fruit will be okay to eat. Another explanation is that the enzymes help the seed to mature. They send messages when to start and stop growing to the cells of the plant. 36. What does your stomach do when you eat something? ________ A. Hurt people’s body. B. Break down the large molecules. C. Create some new cells. D. Be a monster to eat people. 37. What are the enzymes like according to the text? ________ A. A pearl. B. A necklace. C. A pair of scissors. D. A kind of fruit. 38. Which following can you learn from Paragraph 4? ________ ①Proteins play an important part in your body. ②A protein can be broken down by enzymes. ③The special enzymes can hurt you all the time. ④The enzymes in pineapples can damage your tongue. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 39. Why does pineapple have these enzymes? ________ A. They help the seed to mature. B. They help to spread immature seed. C. They stop people from picking them up. D. They send messages about against animals. 40. What’s the purpose of the text? ________ A. To express the importance of enzymes. B. To show the dangers to eat pineapples. C. To encourage people to eat more pineapples. D. To explain how and why pineapples “eat” you. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了菠萝中含有的酶能够分解蛋白质，从而“吃掉”人体细胞的过程。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When you eat something, your stomach breaks down its large molecules（分子）into smaller ones.”可知，当你吃东西的时候，你的胃在分解大分子。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You can cut a necklace with a pair of scissors. In the same way, the enzymes in pineapples ‘cut up’ proteins.”可知，在文中，作者把酶比喻为一把剪刀。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Proteins are an important part of the cells（细胞）in your body. If an enzyme can break down a protein, it has the ability to damage cells. When you eat pineapple, the enzymes in it will “eat” the cells of your tongue.”可知，蛋白质在你的身体中起着重要的作用，并且可以被酶分解，菠萝中的酶会损伤你的舌头。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another explanation is that the enzymes help the seed to mature.”可知，是因为它们帮助种子成熟。故选A。 40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了菠萝中含有的酶能够分解蛋白质，从而“吃掉”人体细胞的过程。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是要解释菠萝如何以及为什么会“吃”你。故选D。 四、短文填空（本大题有20小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分30分） 请阅读下面短文，在所给的每个空格中填入一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。 Elaine started her job as a Chinese teacher in 2022.

The event was created in 1970 to draw people’s attention to environmental problems. Now, we still face many challenges, but we can all make a difference. Her Trees Save Lives Adeline was 12 when her family’s home flooded. She wanted to help. She learned that mangrove trees (红树林) played a key role in flood protection. But the trees were being cut down. Adeline and her classmates planted 200 mangrove trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature to call on more people to protect the environment. Teens’ Creative Invention Expanded polystyrene (EPS) (膨胀聚苯乙烯泡沫) is used to make things like takeout-food containers. It takes up much space and is difficult to recycle. Three teenagers in Ohio worked together to study the chemical makeup (化学成分) of EPS and found that it was mostly carbon (炭). They did about 50 hours of experiments to turn it into activated (活性的) carbon, a material that can filter (过滤) water. Finally, they succeeded! Solar for Her School When Claire was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to make her middle school modern. Claire asked the school to add solar panels (太阳能板) to the project because she thought clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school. The school liked the idea but said it was too expensive. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults. They put on a talent show and raised some money. At last, the group paid for the solar panels. “One person could start something small and then the project could grow and have an influence on the society,” Claire said. 61.

Because she thought clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school. 66. 例文： How to Make Our School Greener A clean environment is of great importance in our school life. So I have several ways to make our school greener. Firstly, let’s solve the common environmental problems such as littering. We should always remember to use the waste properly to maintain a clean environment. Additionally, the wasteful use of water is another concern. We should make it a point to save water. Finally, we shouldn’t draw pictures on the walls, either. To establish a green campus, we can plant more trees to increase green coverage. Furthermore, we can improve the use of renewable energy sources like solar panels for lighting and heating. Lastly, it’s important to raise awareness among our classmates. Together, let’s protect the environment and make our school greener. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了几位为保护地球环境做出努力的人。 【61题详解】 根据“April 22 is the 55th birthday of Earth Day!

Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing water. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. The special event of ice fishing at Chagan Lake is sure to continue into the future.

When I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother and I were coming back from a tennis ball game. That was our usual weekend activity, but a surprise was waiting for us. There, in our yard, we saw two adult geese（鹅）and a small baby goose. The adults were startled by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We were no strangers to the ways of wild animals, so we knew we should avoid touching the baby goose or it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever. Hours passed, and night fell. It became very cold. At that point, we knew we had to help and we brought him into our house. We all pretty much slept with one eye open until morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them though, and they wouldn’t come close enough to take him back. My sister Joanna decided to call the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping（唧唧叫）noise without stopping. Almost a year passed. My family filled our days with Peeper’s hugs and my dad would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a circle around the house. One evening, my uncle came, and my dad wanted to show him Peeper’s circle. He threw him up into the air, but this time, Peeper just flew off. Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a wonderful memory for my family. Geese are very loyal（忠诚的）, and never forget their first home. Even so, I was still shocked when an old adult goose came to my home. At first, I guessed it was just another goose. After two weeks of the goose coming back again and again, it became clear to me that this wasn’t another goose. My old best friend returned, 20 years later. People need connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love. 31. The writer’s family saw the geese family ________. A. before they went back home B. after they finished playing tennis ball C. in front of the gate of their house D. when the geese were flying around the yard 32. The baby goose could stay in the writer’s house because ________ . A. Joanna decided to give him a name B. the family promised to protect him C. the baby goose may be in danger without help D. the writer’s dad loves to play with the baby goose 33.

Dad Trained Goose B. A kind Goose C. My Goose Returned Home D. A Friendly Goose When you eat a pineapple, the pineapple eats you? Now, don’t be afraid. This question is not about a pineapple monster that eats people. In fact, the common pineapple sold in supermarkets can “eat” a little bit of you. When you eat something, your stomach breaks down its large molecules（分子）into smaller ones. In the same way, pineapples can “eat” you by breaking down the molecules. Pineapples have certain enzymes that can break down proteins（蛋白质）. To understand this better, you can imagine a pearl necklace. Many smaller molecules—the pearls—come together to form the long necklace of a protein. You can cut a necklace with a pair of scissors. In the same way, the enzymes in pineapples “cut up” proteins. Proteins are an important part of the cells（细胞）in your body. If an enzyme can break down a protein, it has the ability to damage cells. When you eat pineapple, the enzymes in it will “eat” the cells of your tongue. This is why your mouth will hurt if you eat too much pineapple. But luckily, the cells in your tongue will be well fast. And after you have eaten the pineapple, the special enzymes will end up getting broken down by your stomach. It won’t “eat” you anymore. Why does pineapple have these enzymes? Some scientists believe that they are created by the plant to prevent animals from eating its immature（未成熟的）fruits. Once the fruit is mature, its enzymes won’t hurt an animal’s tongue and the fruit will be okay to eat. Another explanation is that the enzymes help the seed to mature. They send messages when to start and stop growing to the cells of the plant. 36. What does your stomach do when you eat something? ________ A. Hurt people’s body. B. Break down the large molecules. C. Create some new cells. D. Be a monster to eat people. 37. What are the enzymes like according to the text? ________ A. A pearl. B. A necklace. C. A pair of scissors. D. A kind of fruit. 38. Which following can you learn from Paragraph 4? ________ ①Proteins play an important part in your body. ②A protein can be broken down by enzymes. ③The special enzymes can hurt you all the time. ④The enzymes in pineapples can damage your tongue. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 39. Why does pineapple have these enzymes? ________ A. They help the seed to mature. B. They help to spread immature seed. C. They stop people from picking them up. D. They send messages about against animals. 40 What’s the purpose of the text? ________ A. To express the importance of enzymes. B. To show the dangers to eat pineapples. C. To encourage people to eat more pineapples. D. To explain how and why pineapples “eat” you. 四、短文填空（本大题有20小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分30分） 请阅读下面短文，在所给的每个空格中填入一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。 Elaine started her job as a Chinese teacher in 2022 Her students felt excited and happy when they greeted her ____41____ the Chinese phrase “ni hao” which means “hello” in English.

The event was created in 1970 to draw people’s attention to environmental problems. Now we still face many challenges, but we can all make a difference. Her Trees Save Lives Adeline was 12 when her family’s home flooded. She wanted to help. She learned that mangrove trees (红树林) played a key role in flood protection. But the trees were being cut down. Adeline and her classmates planted 200 mangrove trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature to call on more people to protect the environment. Teens’ Creative Invention Expanded polystyrene (EPS) (膨胀聚苯乙烯泡沫) is used to make things like takeout-food containers. It takes up much space and is difficult to recycle. Three teenagers in Ohio worked together to study the chemical makeup (化学成分) of EPS and found that it was mostly carbon (炭). They did about 50 hours of experiments to turn it into activated (活性的) carbon, a material that can filter (过滤) water. Finally, they succeeded! Solar for Her School When Claire was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to make her middle school modern. Claire asked the school to add solar panels (太阳能板) to the project because she thought clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school. The school liked the idea but said it was too expensive. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults. They put on a talent show and raised some money. At last, the group paid for the solar panels. “One person could start something small and then the project could grow and have an influence on the society,” Claire said. 61.
