Also called UFO or pancake plants, these plants are easy to care for, and popular across the world. They are sunlight-loving plants that can grow well inside your home without much watering. Take good care of a money plant and you will end up with a lovely and long-lasting piece of nature for your home. Water money plants once a week in the spring and summer. Chinese money plants mostly grow in the warmer months and will need more watering during that time. You won’t have to give the plant more water until you notice that its soil is nearly dry. Keep in mind that summer conditions, such as high temperatures and exposure (暴露) to sunlight, can cause the soil to dry out more quickly. Water the plant every 10 days or more in the winter. Your plant slows down during the colder months of the year. You will notice the soil staying wet for longer periods of time. 20. How often should you water the Chinese money plant in August? A. Every 3 days. B. Once a week. C. Twice a week. D. Every 10 days. 21 Which of the following is not right about Chinese money plants? A They are sunlight-loving plants. B. They are also called pancake plants. C. They stop growing in the cold months of the year. D. They only need to be watered when the soil is nearly dry. 22. What book do you think the passage is from?

I’m going to find out the person who took my lunch. Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him. Or maybe it’s a her. Either way, I’ll get even. Then during the spelling class, I kept thinking about the lunchbag thief (贼) so that I asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. As I went out, I picked up the lunchbag closest to the door. I was about to kick it away when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and there was Mr. Fridley. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, and this time he wasn’t being funny at all. “Go ahead and tell the head teacher,” I said. “Sec if I care.” “Maybe you don’t,” he said, “but I do.” That surprised me. Then Mr. Fridley said, “I don’t want to see a boy like you get into trouble, and that’s where you’re headed.” “I don’t have any friends in this terrible school.” I don’t know why I said that. I guess I felt I had to say something. “Who wants to be friends with someone who scowls (绷着脸) all the time?”asked Mr. Fridley. “Turning into a mean-eyed (刻薄的) lunch-kicker won’t help anything,” said Mr. Fridley. “You should think in another way.” “How?” I asked. “That’s for you to work out,” he said and gave me a little push toward my classroom. Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor. (—Adapted from Dear Mr. Henshaw) 23. How did the writer feel when he found his lunchbag missing? A. Sad. B. Surprised. C. Afraid. D. Angry. 24. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He took Mr. Fridley’s advice indeed. B. He was very popular with his classmates. C. He wasn’t interested in the spelling class. D. He found out who took his lunchbag at last. 25. What did Mr. Fridley mean by saying the underlined sentence? A. The writer should not care about his lunchbag. B. The writer should not continue finding out the thief. C. The writer should not act rudely without thinking carefully. D. The writer should not complain about others because of his lunch. 【答案】23.

Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him.”可知，作者发现他的午餐袋不见了后很生气。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor.”可知，作者在没人注意的情况下把午餐袋放回地上。由此推知他采纳了Fridley 先生的建议。故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。通读全文可知，作者的午餐袋被偷了，他很生气并想着要报复。于是他借故去洗手间时拿起了一个靠近门的午餐袋，想把它踢开。Fridley 先生劝导作者不要因为一时的愤怒而做让自己陷入麻烦的事情，并暗示作者应换一种方式来解决问题。结合选项推知，Fridley先生说这句话是想作者不要因为自己的午餐而抱怨别人。故选D。 D Luca was glad it was Saturday again. He didn’t have to make the long bus trip to school. His mother was on the late shift (晚班). Now that it was just the two of them, she did lots of late shifts. Luca turned on the radio as he cleared the breakfast dishes. “Firemen warn spot fires (零星火灾) at the foot of the mountain may spread,” said the host. Luca could feel his heart racing. Just then, the phone rang. “My dear,” came his mother’s voice. “The firemen won’t let me go back home. They say it’s much too ...” The line went dead. A moment later, the power cut out. Luca stood in the kitchen and read the safety list they had prepared after that terrible accident. His mum told him how she wanted to be well prepared for anything. Luca smelt the smoke in the air, so he acted quickly. He closed all the doors and windows and pushed towels and woollen blankets under all the doors. He filled the bath with water and took the radio and everything into the living room. Finally, with the last blanket over him, Luca got down low on the floor, and waited. Listening to the fire shout outside, Luca wondered what would happen to his mum if she lost him, too. After almost half an hour, Luca stood up. He knew he wasn’t out of danger yet. He checked for spot fires and wet down the house. For days, there was news report after news report, describing how Luca had saved the house and himself. There were Luca’s words in the paper, too. “Sometimes things just happen. There is nothing you can do to change it. But when you are prepared, at least you’re in there with a chance.” 26. Why couldn’t Luca’s mother be back home? A. She was afraid. B. She didn’t want to. C. She was busy at work. D. The firemen stopped her. 27. What does the underlined word “racing”in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Moving quickly. B. Beating fast. C. Running hurriedly. D. Preparing actively. 28. What can we infer about Luca’s father from the story? A. He lost self-care ability. B. He was badly ill in hospital. C. He died in an accident. D. He was on business abroad. 29. What can be the proper title of the story? A. Forest Fire. B. Fire Ready. C. Family Rules. D. Home Alone. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Luca在母亲无法回家且家中发生山火威胁时，凭借事先准备的安全知识和冷静应对，成功保护了自己和家宅的故事。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The firemen won’t let me go back home. They say it’s much too ...”可知，妈妈不能回家，因为消防员拦住了她。故选D。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Firemen warn spot fires at the foot of the mountain may spread”消防员警告说，山脚下的零星火灾可能会蔓延，可知，面对这种情况，Luca是非常紧张，心脏跳得很快。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“His mother was on the late shift. Now that it was just the two of them, she did lots of late shifts.”可知，家里只有妈妈和他了，因此可以推断父亲离世了。故选C。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文及第五段“He closed all the doors and windows and pushed towels and woollen blankets under all the doors. He filled the bath with water and took the radio and everything into the living room. Finally, with the last blanket over him, Luca got down low on the floor, and waited.”可知，本文的最佳标题应该与消防准备相关。故选B。 四、信息还原 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 My father is a quiet man.

This was the first time a new kind of butterfly in Sichuan had been found by a Chinese person. Zhao is called “Prince Butterfly”. But he said, “I am just someone who loves insects. If you want to continue to enjoy beautiful butterflies flying freely, remember to protect them. They really make a ___46___ to us humans.” 【答案】42. set up 43. since 44. Anyway 45. by accident 46. difference 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了蝴蝶专家赵力寻找蝴蝶的事情。 【42题详解】 句意：2019年，他成立了亚洲最大的昆虫博物馆——华西昆虫博物馆。根据“the largest insect museum in Asia”可知，是建立了亚洲最大的昆虫博物馆，set up符合语境；由“In 2019”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词set要用过去式set。故填set up。 【43题详解】 句意：赵从小就对蝴蝶着迷。根据“Zhao’s been crazy about butterflies ... he was a little boy.”可知，空格前后是两个句子，故此处要用连词；结合备选词，since“自从”，符合语境，引导时间状语从句。故填since。 【44题详解】 句意：即使这样，这样的危险时刻并没有阻止他寻找蝴蝶。根据“On his trips, Zhao almost died. ”可知，为了寻找蝴蝶，赵力差点丧生，即使这样，危险也没能阻止他继续去寻找蝴蝶。anyway“即使这样，无论如何”，符合语境，句首首字母大写。故填Anyway。 【45题详解】 句意：1991年，当时19岁的他意外地发现了一种新蝴蝶。根据“In 1991, the then 19-year-old man found a new kind of butterfly ...”及备选词可知，by accident“偶然地、意外地”，符合语境。故填by accident。 【46题详解】 句意：它们真的对我们人类产生了影响。make a difference“产生影响”，固定短语，different的名词difference符合语境。故填difference。 六、阅读表达(共3题；每小题2分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，用英语回答问题。 Stamp collecting is now a big hobby for young people to remember their travels. Lovers of this hobby print the stamps, usually with pictures and names of the places, on postcards or in travel notebooks. Kuang Zhaoxin, a 25-year-old designer, thinks collecting stamps is a great way to record her trips. “Stamp collecting has added more meaning to my travels. This habit has improved my understanding of the historical and cultural parts of different places, because when I collect stamps, I visit the attractions and try to find out the stories behind each stamp,” she said. Zhang Boren, a 12-year-old teenager from Beijing, said collecting stamps helps him learn about the culture and history of a place. He bought many special stamps when he went to Washington D. C. in the US. The words on the stamps are written in the way people wrote in the 18th century. “It’s very amazing to see it,” he said.

This habit has improved my understanding of the historical and cultural parts of different places”与“collecting stamps helps him learn about the culture and history of a place.”可知，他们两个都同意集邮帮助了解一个地方的文化和历史。故填They both think stamp collecting helps them learn about the culture and history of a place。 【49题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。比如：制作照片集和旅行地图。故填Make photo albums and travel maps。 七、书面表达 (共1题；满分15分) 50. 暑假生活即将开始。假设你是李华，学校请你作为代表在休业式上谈一谈你的暑假计划，请根据表格内容，写一份发言稿。 My Summer Holiday Plan 计划 内容 目的 开展运动 学习游泳 强身健体 加强阅读 科学书籍 获取知识 注意： 1.所写内容必须包含以上要点，并作适当发挥； 2.词数90词左右。开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数： 3.文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等真实信息。 Dear classmates, I’m Li Hua from Class One, Grade Eight.

B If you’re looking for a small plant that adds a lot of character to any room, try growing a Chinese money plant, Pilea peperomioides. Also called UFO or pancake plants, these plants are easy to care for, and popular across the world. They are sunlight-loving plants that can grow well inside your home without much watering. Take good care of a money plant and you will end up with a lovely and long-lasting piece of nature for your home. Water money plants once a week in the spring and summer. Chinese money plants mostly grow in the warmer months and will need more watering during that time. You won’t have to give the plant more water until you notice that its soil is nearly dry. Keep in mind that summer conditions, such as high temperatures and exposure (暴露) to sunlight, can cause the soil to dry out more quickly. Water the plant every 10 days or more in the winter. Your plant slows down during the colder months of the year. You will notice the soil staying wet for longer periods of time. 20. How often should you water the Chinese money plant in August? A. Every 3 days. B. Once a week. C. Twice a week. D. Every 10 days. 21. Which of the following is not right about Chinese money plants? A. They are sunlight-loving plants. B. They are also called pancake plants. C. They stop growing in the cold months of the year. D. They only need to be watered when the soil is nearly dry. 22. What book do you think the passage is from? A. Nature Secrets. B. Guide to a Green Life. C. The Life of Strange Plants. D. How to Care for Your Plants. C By lunchtime I was hungry again, and when I found my little lunchbag missing, I blew my top. I’m going to find out the person who took my lunch. Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him. Or maybe it’s a her. Either way, I’ll get even. Then during the spelling class, I kept thinking about the lunchbag thief (贼) so that I asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. As I went out, I picked up the lunchbag closest to the door. I was about to kick it away when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and there was Mr. Fridley. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, and this time he wasn’t being funny at all. “Go ahead and tell the head teacher,” I said. “Sec if I care.” “Maybe you don’t,” he said, “but I do.” That surprised me. Then Mr. Fridley said, “I don’t want to see a boy like you get into trouble, and that’s where you’re headed.” “I don’t have any friends in this terrible school.” I don’t know why I said that. I guess I felt I had to say something. “Who wants to be friends with someone who scowls (绷着脸) all the time?”asked Mr. Fridley. “Turning into a mean-eyed (刻薄的) lunch-kicker won’t help anything,” said Mr. Fridley. “You should think in another way.” “How?” I asked. “That’s for you to work out,” he said and gave me a little push toward my classroom. Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor. (—Adapted from Dear Mr. Henshaw) 23. How did the writer feel when he found his lunchbag missing? A. Sad. B. Surprised. C. Afraid. D. Angry. 24. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He took Mr. Fridley’s advice indeed. B. He was very popular with his classmates. C He wasn’t interested in the spelling class. D. He found out who took his lunchbag at last. 25. What did Mr. Fridley mean by saying the underlined sentence? A. The writer should not care about his lunchbag. B. The writer should not continue finding out the thief. C. The writer should not act rudely without thinking carefully. D. The writer should not complain about others because of his lunch.

Luca turned on the radio as he cleared the breakfast dishes. “Firemen warn spot fires (零星火灾) at the foot of the mountain may spread,” said the host. Luca could feel his heart racing. Just then, the phone rang. “My dear,” came his mother’s voice. “The firemen won’t let me go back home. They say it’s much too ...” The line went dead. A moment later, the power cut out. Luca stood in the kitchen and read the safety list they had prepared after that terrible accident. His mum told him how she wanted to be well prepared for anything. Luca smelt the smoke in the air, so he acted quickly. He closed all the doors and windows and pushed towels and woollen blankets under all the doors. He filled the bath with water and took the radio and everything into the living room. Finally, with the last blanket over him, Luca got down low on the floor, and waited. Listening to the fire shout outside, Luca wondered what would happen to his mum if she lost him, too. After almost half an hour, Luca stood up. He knew he wasn’t out of danger yet.
