Mesa Verde lies in the southwestern part of Colorado in the United States. Mesa Verde is a hill that looks like a “green table”. It was the home of the Pueblo people for about seven hundred years from about 550 to 1300.
The Pueblo people first lived in caves. Then they made houses by digging holes in the ground. These people planted corn and beans. They were also good at making pottery (陶器) which has lasted a long time.
In the 8th century, the Pueblo people moved to the top of the mesa. They built houses with many rooms. They lived there for about six hundred years. Later, they moved into the cliffs (悬崖) on the sides of the mesa. Maybe they moved there to protect themselves from enemies (敌人).
As many as five thousand people may have lived at Mesa Verde. Unluckily, within a few years, no one was left. It is believed that they left because of years and years of dry weather. After a long time, they couldn’t grow enough food for everyone.
No one knew about Mesa Verde for hundreds of years. In the mid-to-late 19th century, some cowboys (牛仔) began to explore the ruins (遗迹). They weren’t trained archaeologists (考古学家), but they realized the importance of Mesa Verde. They collected artifacts, like the pottery and tools made by the Pueblo people. The cowboys wanted the United States to make Mesa Verde a national park.
Mesa Verde became a national park in 1906. It was the first park in the United States to “protect the works of man”. If you visit Mesa Verde, you can see some of its six hundred cliff houses. You can even follow in the footsteps of the Pueblo people. You can picture their lives as you climb up and down the ladders that lead from place to place.
27. Why did the Pueblo people move into the cliffs?
A. To grow more crops.
B. To get water more easily.
C. To keep themselves safe.
D. To make more pottery and baskets.
28. What caused the Pueblo people to leave Mesa Verde?
A. Dry weather. B. An earthquake.
C. A flood. D. A wildfire.
29. What does the underlined word (划线的) “artifacts” refer to (指) in Paragraph 5?
A. Pieces of large land.
B. Things made in the past.
C. Special kinds of plants.
D. Books about the history.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Mesa Verde is a beautiful hill in Colorado.
B. The Pueblo people built houses in Mesa Verde.
C. Mesa Verde was made a national park to protect the history.
D. Archaeologists found Mesa Verde by accident and made it famous.

Is there a way to quickly remember information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a good way. ____31____
They asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were put into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The last group stood just in one place. ____32____

Table manners can be very different in different cultures.
In China, when inviting guests for a meal, it’s polite to wait for the elderly to start eating first. We also use chopsticks gently and try not to make loud noises.
In France, dinner is a special time. People often say “Bon appetite!” to show their wishes for a good meal. Usually, French people taste each dish and enjoy the flavors (味道). And it may take hours for French people to finish a dinner.
In Japan, dining is a quiet and respectful thing. If a conversation is needed, it’s important for people to speak in a low voice. People sit upright and use chopsticks and bowls carefully. It’s polite to say “Itadakimasu” before they start to eat, which means “I humbly receive”.
In the US, people usually eat simple food such as a sandwich instead of spending a lot of time preparing a big meal. However, it’s still important to be careful with manners and never to eat with your mouth open or elbows (肘) on the table.
In a word, different countries have their dining manners. Understanding them can help us enjoy a nice dining experience abroad.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“七一勋章”获得者张桂梅的事迹。
【38题详解】
句意:这所学校是2008年她在当地政府的帮助下创办的。根据“by”和“in 2008”可知,该句为一般过去时的被动语态,be+动词过去分词。主语是“This school”为单数,所以be动词用was,start的过去分词是started。故填was started。
【39题详解】
句意:这是全国第一所对完成义务教育后无法继续学业的女生实行免费教育的高中。根据空前的介词“after”可知,此处应填动名词finishing。故填finishing。
【40题详解】
句意:自开办以来,该校已帮助 1,800 多名女学生进入大学和学院。根据“Since it opened”可知,该句为现在完成时,主语“it”是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has,send的过去分词是sent。故填has sent。
【41题详解】
句意:然而,她非常爱她的学生,所以她和他们一起住在学校。根据句意可知,前后句是因果关系,后句表结果,用so连接。故填so。
【42题详解】
句意:每天,她大约早上五点起床,开始新的一天。根据“she gets up at around 5 a.m.”可知,此处应用动词不定式表目的。故填to begin。
【43题详解】
句意:她打开教学楼的灯,用扩音器叫醒学生。根据句意可知,此处指用喇叭叫醒学生,此处with表示伴随,附带。故填with。
【44题详解】
句意:这些年来,她为了探望学生家人,已经行走了近11000公里。根据“walked”可知,此处应用副词修饰动词walked,nearly意为“将近”,故填nearly。
【45题详解】
句意:我们总说每个孩子都应该站在同一起跑线上,但这些来自山区的女孩却连跑道都上不了。根据“same”可知,the same表示“相同的”,固定短语。故填the。

【47题详解】
句意:她所有的梦想就是让这些可怜的女孩自力更生,过上更好的生活。根据“depend on”可知,指依靠她们自己,所以应填反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
八、根据句意及所给汉语提示完成单词拼写,每空一词(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
48. If you break traffic rules, you will be ________ (惩罚) by the police.
【答案】punished
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你违反交通规则,你将受到警察的处罚。punish“惩罚”,是动词,主语you与谓语punish之间是被动关系,因此用被动语态,此处是一般将来时的被动形式will be done,故填punished。
49. After years of hard work, he finally became a ________ (成功的) businessman.
【答案】successful
【解析】
【详解】句意:经过多年的努力,他终于成为一名成功的商人。根据汉语提示和语境可知,此空填形容词successful“成功的”,作定语修饰businessman。故填successful。
50. The charity will offer help to anyone who can’t ________ (付得起) food.
【答案】afford
【解析】
【详解】句意:该慈善机构将向任何买不起食物的人提供帮助。根据中文提示可知,“付得起”的英文表述为afford,动词,空格前是情态动词,此处动词应用原形,故填afford。
51. At first, the chairperson explained the ________ (目的) of the project to everyone.
【答案】purpose
【解析】
【详解】句意:首先主席向大家阐述了这个项目的目的。根据中文提示可知,句子缺少名词purpose“目的”,作宾语。故填purpose。

注意:78题必须自己加标点。
53. 在我洗之前,所有衣服将被分成不同的类别。
All the clothes ______________________________ before I wash them.
【答案】will be separated into different groups
【解析】
【详解】根据中文句意和英文提示可知,此句为before引导的时间状语从句,从句为一般现在时,主句应为含有will 的一般将来时。再结合中文中“被分成……”,因此此处应用一般将来时的被动结构。“被分成”be separated into;“不同的”different;“类别”group(可数名词)。故填will be separated into different groups。

55. 这位医生很自豪能帮这些老人们重见光明。
______________________________ the old people see again.
【答案】The doctor is very proud to help
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对比可知,主语这位医生“The doctor”;做某事很自豪“be proud to do sth.”,时态是一般现在时,主语是三单,be用is;帮助“help”。故填The doctor is very proud to help。
56. 这个学生足够仔细,避免了这些错误。
The student is ______________________________.
【答案】careful enough to avoid these mistakes
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺少“足够仔细,避免了这些错误”,careful enough“足够仔细”,enough修饰形容词需后置。avoid“避免”,these mistakes“这些错误”,动词不定式作结果状语。故填careful enough to avoid these mistakes。
57. 在公共场合大声地喊叫是不礼貌的。
It’s not ______________________________.
【答案】polite to shout loudly in public
【解析】
【详解】根据汉英对照和句式特点,it在句子中作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。shout loudly“大声说话”;in public“在公共场合”;polite“礼貌的”。故填polite to shout loudly in public。
58. 连词成句 who, for, made, was, the cake
______________________________________________________?
【答案】Who was the cake made for

Mesa Verde lies in the southwestern part of Colorado in the United States. Mesa Verde is a hill that looks like a “green table”. It was the home of the Pueblo people for about seven hundred years, from about 550 to 1300.
The Pueblo people first lived in caves. Then they made houses by digging holes in the ground. These people planted corn and beans. They were also good at making pottery (陶器) which has lasted a long time.
In the 8th century, the Pueblo people moved to the top of the mesa. They built houses with many rooms. They lived there for about six hundred years. Later, they moved into the cliffs (悬崖) on the sides of the mesa. Maybe they moved there to protect themselves from enemies (敌人).
As many as five thousand people may have lived at Mesa Verde. Unluckily, within a few years, no one was left. It is believed that they left because of years and years of dry weather. After a long time, they couldn’t grow enough food for everyone.
No one knew about Mesa Verde for hundreds of years. In the mid-to-late 19th century, some cowboys (牛仔) began to explore the ruins (遗迹). They weren’t trained archaeologists (考古学家), but they realized the importance of Mesa Verde. They collected artifacts, like the pottery and tools made by the Pueblo people. The cowboys wanted the United States to make Mesa Verde a national park.
Mesa Verde became a national park in 1906. It was the first park in the United States to “protect the works of man”. If you visit Mesa Verde, you can see some of its six hundred cliff houses.

Table manners can be very different in different cultures.
In China, when inviting guests for a meal, it’s polite to wait for the elderly to start eating first. We also use chopsticks gently and try not to make loud noises.
In France, dinner is a special time. People often say “Bon appetite!” to show their wishes for a good meal. Usually, French people taste each dish and enjoy the flavors (味道). And it may take hours for French people to finish a dinner.
In Japan, dining is a quiet and respectful thing. If a conversation is needed, it’s important for people to speak in a low voice. People sit upright and use chopsticks and bowls carefully. It’s polite to say “Itadakimasu” before they start to eat, which means “I humbly receive”.
In the US, people usually eat simple food such as a sandwich instead of spending a lot of time preparing a big meal. However, it’s still important to be careful with manners and never to eat with your mouth open or elbows (肘) on the table.
In a word different countries have their dining manners. Understanding them can help us enjoy a nice dining experience abroad.
