The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet (对句), the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the boat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.

B. It will fall when spring comes.
C. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads.
D. The town’s heavy with blooms.

五、句型转换与完成句子 (10分)
66. Frank has had the bike for three months. (改为否定句)
Frank _______ _______ the bike for three months.
【答案】 ①. hasn’t ②. had
【解析】
【详解】句意:弗兰克拥有这辆自行车已有三个月了。该句为现在完成时,变否定句时在助动词has后加not,缩写为hasn’t,其它成分不变,故填hasn’t;had。
67. Mount Huang is very interesting. (对划线部分提问)
_________ is Mount Huang _________?
【答案】 ①. What ②. like
【解析】
【详解】句意:黄山非常有趣。划线部分“very interesting”形容词,作表语,此处应该问“怎么样”,用What…like进行提问,位于句首要首字母大写。故填What;like。
68. The rain beat heavily against the window. (改为一般疑问句)
____________ the rain ____________ heavily against the window?
【答案】 ①. Did ②. beat
【解析】
【详解】句意:雨重重地打在窗户上。原句是一般过去时,变一般疑问句需要借助助动词did,后跟动词原形,beat的原形还是beat。故填Did;beat。
69. My teacher left JieYang two days ago. (改为现在完成时)
My teacher has been ________ from JieYang ________ two days ago.
【答案】 ①. away ②. since
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的老师两天前离开了揭阳。题目要求改成现在完成时,动词需要用延续性动词,leave的延续性动词为be away from,since+一段时间+ago,也用现在完成时。故填away;since。
70. This is an interesting book. (改为感叹句)
________ ________ the book is!
【答案】 ①. How ②. interesting
【解析】
【详解】句意:这是一本有趣的书。感叹句用What或How开头,陈述句中的名词为可数名词单数,若用What开头,后跟an,形成What an interesting book this is,若用How开头,后跟形容词interesting。故填How;interesting。
71. 你能帮我检查一下电脑吗?
Can you help me ________ ________ my computer?
【答案】 ①. check ②. out
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,该句缺少了“检查”的翻译,check out为动词短语,意为“检查”。help sb. do sth.为固定搭配,意为“帮助某人做某事”,故空格处应填动词原形check out。故答案为check;out。
72. ——你曾经去过美术博物馆吗?
——不, 我没有。
—________ you ever ________ to the art museum?
—No, I haven’t.
【答案】 ①. Have ②. been
【解析】
【详解】根据题干可知,句子是现在完成时,主语是you,所以第一空应填助动词have,构成一般疑问句;have been to“去过(已回)”。故填Have;been。
73. 你出国留过学吗?
Have you ever ____________ ____________?
【答案】 ①. studied ②. abroad
【解析】
【详解】分析句子,动词短语study abroad“出国留学”符合语境,结合“Have you ever”可知,该句是现在完成时,动词填过去分词。故填studied;abroad。
74. 蒂娜的房间是我们的3倍大。
Tina’s room is three ________ ________ than ours in size.
【答案】 ①. times ②. larger##bigger
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对比可知,three times表示“三倍”;larger/bigger表示“更大”,是比较级。故填times;larger/bigger。
75. 天气预报说这个周末将会有一场暴风雨。
The weather report says that there ________ ________ a rainstorm this weekend.
【答案】 ①. will ②. be
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,该句缺少了“将会有”的翻译,应用there be句型,表示“某地/某时存在某物”,根据“this weekend”可知时态用一般将来时,结构为there will be。故填will;be。

七、读写综合 (本大题分为A、B两部分,共20分)
A.回答问题
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题,并把答案写在横线上。
Many people think of cities and nature as two different things. However, some cities around the world are trying new and creative ways to bring nature and wildlife into city areas.
In order to make better use of city gardens, places like Los Angeles in the US make community gardens. The gardens serve the community in many ways. In city farms, people grow vegetables to sell at markets with the money going to people in need. In educational gardens, people are taught how to eat healthily.
In Edmonton, Canada, more than twelve wildlife bridges have been built. One of the largest is a 30-meter-long bridge near Big Lake in the northwest of the city. It’s a good way to protect animals’ habitats (栖息地).
A “sponge city” (海绵城市) is a city to deal with floods. How does it work? Just as a sponge can absorb (吸收) water, a “sponge city” can deal with heavy rain. Wuhan is one of China’s first cities to start the project. There are now more than 30 “sponge cities” in China, including Jinan and Xiamen.

This famous poem (诗), Happy Rain on a Spring Night, was written by Du Fu (712—770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful (感谢) to nature and it is shown in this poem.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet (对句), the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the boat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.
56. What does Du Fu want to show in this poem?
A. He is thankful to nature.
B He loves and enjoys farming.
C. He enjoys the rain in spring.
D. He expects the flowers to bloom.
57. How does Du Fu feel about the spring rain according to the poem?
A. Sad. B. Worried. C. Tired. D. Happy.
58. Which of the following uses personification?
A. Good rain knows its time right.
B It will fall when spring comes.
C. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads.
D. The town’s heavy with blooms.

Many people think of cities and nature as two different things. However, some cities around the world are trying new and creative ways to bring nature and wildlife into city areas.
In order to make better use of city gardens, places like Los Angeles in the US make community gardens. The gardens serve the community in many ways. In city farms, people grow vegetables to sell at markets with the money going to people in need. In educational gardens, people are taught how to eat healthily.
In Edmonton, Canada, more than twelve wildlife bridges have been built. One of the largest is a 30-meter-long bridge near Big Lake in the northwest of the city. It’s a good way to protect animals’ habitats (栖息地).
A “sponge city” (海绵城市) is a city to deal with floods. How does it work? Just as a sponge can absorb (吸收) water, a “sponge city” can deal with heavy rain. Wuhan is one of China’s first cities to start the project. There are now more than 30 “sponge cities” in China, including Jinan and Xiamen.
