She will probably sit in a corner and not talk to anyone,” Madison said. “You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!” Dad said seriously. On Saturday morning Madison dressed up beautifully, wearing her new dress. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved riding her horse Star with a lead rope. Madison met her friends at the door. Finally, all the girls she invited came, including Lucy. The girls were singing and dancing while Lucy was sitting in the corner alone. Later, Madison began to open her gifts. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends. Lucy’s gift was the last one. Inside the box was a hand-made lead rope. Shocked, Madison looked up at Lucy. “It’s a lead rope for your horse Star. I made it myself! I heard you talking about your horse at school. So I got the idea to make a lead rope as a gift,” Lucy said. ▲ It was her favorite birthday gift of the day.

Inside the box was a hand-made lead rope. Shocked, Madison looked up at Lucy.”可知，当Madison拆开Lucy的礼物，发现是一根手工制作的牵引绳，麦迪逊很震惊。surprised “惊讶的”，符合语境。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was her favorite birthday gift of the day.”可知，Lucy的礼物是她那天最喜欢的生日礼物，因此前一句应是表达Madison对Lucy这份礼物的感受。D项“Madison被Lucy的话深深打动了，她紧紧地握住绳子” 符合语境。故选D。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。第一段“Dad and Madison were buying some things for Madison’s birthday party.”表明，Madison和爸爸采购东西准备生日会；第三段“On Saturday morning, Madison dressed up beautifully”和第四段“Madison met her friends at the door.”表明，生日会开始了，Madison迎接朋友们；第四段“The girls were singing and dancing while Lucy was sitting in the corner alone.”表明，其他女孩唱歌跳舞时，Lucy坐在角落里；第四段“Later, Madison began to open her gifts.”表明，Madison最后开始拆礼物；根据最后一段“Inside the box was a hand-made lead rope. Shocked, Madison looked up at Lucy.”可知，Lucy的礼物使Madison很惊喜；最后一句“ Lucy nodded cheerfully and joined the other girls to enjoy the party.”表明，最后Lucy和其他女孩一起玩。因此正确顺序是c-b-e-d-a。故选A。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，讲述Madison的爸爸体谅到Lucy初来乍到的孤独，让Madison邀请Lucy来参加生日派对，Madison起初不愿意，但Lucy用自己手工做的生日礼物赢得了Madison的心，融入了新的集体。由此我们懂得，要学会接纳身边的人。故选C。 B If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happier? Some may listen to some music. Others may get some exercise. A new study found another great way to make students less stressed—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. They divided (分开) the children into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They played with the trained dogs. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things. During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the least cortisol. According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The cortisol levels fall over time this way. And it is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to find out the answer. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. Why does the writer write the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To show the difficulties. C. To surprise the readers. D. To show the latest research results. 7. What made the testing results of the three groups different? A. The time. B. The activity. C. The age. D. The place. 8. Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress (x) and cortisol levels(y)? A. B. C. D. 9. What does the underlined word “increase” mean? A. 成就 B. 风险 C. 兴趣 D. 增长 10. What may the scientists study next? A. New skills of keeping pets at home. B. More useful ways to deal with stress. C The amount of time to play with a dog. D. The most proper kind of dog to play with. 【答案】6. A 7. B 8. A 9. D 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了减少学生压力的一种方法——和小狗玩耍。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A new study found another great way to make students less stressed—playing with dogs.”可知，第一段是为了导入本文话题：和小狗玩耍对缓解学生的压力有作用。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They played with the trained dogs. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things.”可知，三组同学被安排的活动不同使三组的测试结果不同，故选B。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body.”可知，你感到的压力越大，你体内的皮质醇就越多。A图符合语境，故选A。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels.”可知，第二组和第三组显示皮质醇增长，根据连词however，此处表示转折。因此第一组学生的皮质醇没有很大增长，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to find out the answer.”可知，作者接下来会研究和小狗玩耍的最佳时长，故选C。 三、完形填空（15小题, 每小题1分, 共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 I was feeling a little blue because my dad lost his job.

She will probably sit in a corner and not talk to anyone,” Madison said. “You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!” Dad said seriously. On Saturday morning, Madison dressed up beautifully, wearing her new dress. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved riding her horse Star with a lead rope. Madison met her friends at the door. Finally, all the girls she invited came, including Lucy. The girls were singing and dancing while Lucy was sitting in the corner alone. Later, Madison began to open her gifts. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends. Lucy’s gift was the last one. Inside the box was a hand-made lead rope. Shocked, Madison looked up at Lucy. “It’s a lead rope for your horse Star. I made it myself! I heard you talking about your horse at school. So I got the idea to make a lead rope as a gift,” Lucy said. ▲ It was her favorite birthday gift of the day. With mixed feelings, Madison tried hard to fight the tears (泪水) in her eyes. “Thanks so much for this lead rope. I love it!

A new study found another great way to make students less stressed—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. They divided (分开) the children into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They played with the trained dogs. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things. During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the least cortisol. According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The cortisol levels fall over time this way. And it is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to find out the answer. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6.
