In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall then most probably you will be tall too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out. But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can stop you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected (期待的) height. No doubt (怀疑) you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up). Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body maybe going through. Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys. You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. 36. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _________. A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期 C. 习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期 37. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ________. A. you should have enough exercise B. you can ask doctors for help C. you should save the environment D. you can record your growth during puberty 38. After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) _________. A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep time we need C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what healthy diet is 39. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Your height most probably depends on (取决于) how high your parents are. B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’. C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. D. You maybe scared sometimes when you grow too fast. 40. This passage is mainly about ____________. A. how the genes work in your body B. when is the time you grow fast C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain height 【答案】36 D 37. B 38. C 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人的身高问题，通过短文我们可以知道，你的身高大部分依赖于你父母的身高，女孩的青春期一般比男孩子早，你可能有时对于自己长得过快感到惊讶。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up”可知，当你的身体开始改变，变得更加成熟，由此可知划线单词意为生长发育的青春期，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.”可知，如果想知道你应该长多快多高，你可以向医生求助，故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But genes don’t decide everything…Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected (期待的) height.”可知，解释了为什么基因不能决定一切，故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too”可知，选项A正确；根据“The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys”可知，选项B正确；根据“Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time”可知，选项D正确。没有提到关于青春期第一次变化的时期，故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了人的身高问题，通过短文我们可以知道，你的身高大部分依赖于你父母的身高，女孩的青春期一般比男孩子早，你可能有时对于自己长得过快感到惊讶。D选项“你如何成长到一定的高度”符合，故选D。 (D) I have a question for all of us. Is all winning successful? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-costs culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we get there often gets swept under the proverbial rug. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking about with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are the winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win! 41. According to the passage, which of the following is regarded as success in our society? A. Winning the champion in a match B. Making progress in learning English C. Correcting mistakes of your behavior D. Planning to improve oneself step by step 42. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “ _________”. A. shows the result B. does some harm C. catches little attention D. decides the success 43. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show ________. A. it’s difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it’s better to motivate others than to give orders 44. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 45. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. we shouldn’t plan for the end result B. winning doesn’t always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D. it’s time for us to change the way we live 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了胜利并不等于成功，并用自己做教练的经历来论述这个观点，作者认为激励更加重要。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a society, we honor the champion ( 冠 军 ) . We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable.”可知，在我们的社会中，赢得比赛的冠军被视为成功。故选A。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process”可知，句子表达太专注取得胜利的结果而不是过程，可知“gets swept under the proverbial rug”表达“忽视，不注意”，相当于“catches little attention”。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.”以及“It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better.”可知，作者讲述做教练的经历是为了说明激励他人比命令他人更重要。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty”可知激励他人的关键是通过耐心和诚信培养信任感。C选项“一个教练尊重他的队员，即使他们对没有取得胜利”符合。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success.”可知，胜利并不等于成功。故选B。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 When you wake up in the morning, do you feel hungry? Do you think of breakfast? ____46____ However, many people don’t eat breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast helps us feel more concentrated (专心致志的) for the coming day. ____47____ That’s bad.

In fact, there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. Here are some tips for you. ◆Take an interest. We all remember the things we are ____61____ (interest) in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results ____62____ (easy) but struggle (挣扎) with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember. One way to make ____63____ (you) more interested is to ask questions-the more, the better! ◆Repeat things in chunks (块). Repeating things in chunks is ____64____ best way to remember things in a short time. For example, remembering a phone number for a few ____65____ (second). Grouping numbers may help you to remember them.

But 67. to invent 68. were 69. of 70. makes 【解析】 【导语】我们总认为好的记忆力是天生的，而记忆力不好就无法改变。其实这是不对的。本文向我们介绍了一些提高记忆力的方法。 【61题详解】 句意：我们都记得自己感兴趣的事情，而总是忘记那些让我们厌烦的事情。interest“感兴趣”，动词，结合“are…in”可知，此处应用其形容词形式与之搭配，be interested in sth.“对某事感兴趣”符合语境。故填interested。 【62题详解】 句意：这就解释了为什么男生很容易记住足球比赛的结果，却很难记住历史课上的日期。easy“容易的”，形容词，根据“why schoolboys remember football results”可知，此处应用其副词形式easily修饰动词remember，意为“容易地”。故填easily。 【63题详解】 句意：让你自己更感兴趣的一个方法是问问题——越多越好！you“你”，代词，又根据“Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.”可知，你自己更感兴趣的东西，说话对象为“你”，此处表示“让自己对……感兴趣”，应用其对应的反身代词形式yourself“你自己”。故填yourself。 【64题详解】 句意：分段重复是在短时间内记住事物的最好方法。根据“…best way to remember things in a short time.”可知，此处指“最好的方法”，应用定冠词the修饰形容词最高级best。故填the。 【65题详解】 句意：例如，记住一个电话号码几秒钟。second“秒”，名词，又结合“for a few…”可知，此处应用其名词复数形式，表示“几秒钟”。故填seconds。 【66题详解】 句意：但是，把它们分成“组”或“块”反复看，就容易多了：149 217 8919 318 483。前句“The following numbers, would be impossible for most of us to remember”与“look at them in ‘groups’ or ‘chunks’ repeatedly and it becomes much easier”之间表示转折关系，应用but表示“但是”，句首首字母大写。故填But。 【67题详解】 句意：要记住长长的清单，试着编一个故事，把你想记住的所有事情都包括进去。invent“发明”，动词，又结合“try…a story”可知，此处应用其不定式形式与之搭配，try to do sth.“试着做某事”符合语境。故填to invent。 【68题详解】 句意：在实验中，人们被要求用这种方式记住多达120个单词。结合语境可知，主语poeple表示复数概念，与谓语动词asked之间表示被动关系，且该段时态为一般过去时，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“were done”，即be动词用were。故填were。 【69题详解】 句意：后来对他们进行测试时，他们能记住其中的90%。根据“to remember up to 120 words using this way. When they were tested later, they could remember 90%…them. ”可知，在人们被要求记120个单词之后的测试中，人们还能记得“其中的90%”，应用介词of与之搭配，表示所属，意为“……的”，故填of。 【70题详解】 句意：体育锻炼对你的记忆力很重要，它会给你的大脑输送更多的氧气，从而使你的记忆力更好。make“使”，动词，又结合“it sends more oxygen to your brain, and that…your memory work better.”可知，该句时态为一般现在时，且主语that表示单数概念，应用其三人称单数形式。故填makes。 VIII. 书面表达(满分15分) 71. 为了弘扬中华传统服饰文化，同时也为了迎接汉服节的到来，你校于上周五举办了“校园汉服日”活动。假如你是校英语报的一名小记者，请你根据以下表格写一篇短文，报道此次活动。报道内容必须包括以下表格中要点，可适当进行扩充。开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 校园汉服日 Time 8:00 a. m. ~11:00 a. m., last Friday Place In the school hall Activities Learning about history, styles and materials of hanfu Watching hanfu shows; Singing and dancing; Feeling ... 注意事项： 1. 开头已给出，不计入总词数，80词左右； 2. 意思清楚，表达通顺，行文连贯，书写规范； 3. 请勿在文中使用真实的姓名和校名。 To make more students know about Chinese hanfu culture, our school held a meaningful activity last Friday. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 To make more students know about Chinese hanfu culture, our school held a meaningful activity last Friday.

Many traditional artists are starting to act online. Because of this new way, young people are becoming more interested in traditional culture. China’s online Peking Opera got over one hundred new fans (爱好者) and many of them are teenagers. It has online shows from August 8, 2022 to September 6, 2022. The Peking Opera performers talked to the people online and answered their questions. Gao Xiaopan is a crosstalk performer. He started his own Crosstalk Club in Beijing in 2004. But because fewer people watched his shows in the theater, he moved them online. On March 28, 2022, hundreds of people watched Gao’s online show. There was an online Hanfu show on March 26, 2022. Performers showed different kinds of Hanfu on that day. As Hanfu is getting more and more popular, young people often wear it to work. Now you can see Hanfu in subways, at parks and in many other places. 26. There are ________ kinds of traditional culture in the passage. A. two B. three C. four D. five 27. Gao Xiaopan is a ________. A. crosstalk performer B. Peking Opera fan C. Hanfu lover D. street performer 28. There was an online Hanfu show on ________. A. August 8, 2022 B. September 6, 2022 C. March 26, 2022 D. March 28, 2022 29. Which of the following is TRUE? A. China’s online Peking Opera had only ten fans. B. Fewer people watched Gao Xiaopan’s shows in the theater. C. The Hanfu show performers made the clothes by themselves. D. The Peking Opera performers could not answer questions online. 30. The passage is probably from ________. A. an email B a science book C. a dictionary D. a culture magazine B Bicycles in China Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles. Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars. However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others’ safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem. 31. Where can you see bicycles in China? A. In the big city. B. In the town. C. In the country. D. Almost everywhere. 32. “The kingdom of bicycles” here is saying ____. A. China has a large number of bicycles B. China makes bicycles C. bicycles are a kingdom D. only China has bicycles 33. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of bicycles? A. Bicycles are much cheaper than cars. B. Bicycles are easy to park. C. Bicycles are more beautiful than cars. D. Bicycles are safer than cars. 34. What problems can bicycles bring? A. Bicycles are more and more expensive. B. Riding bicycles is more dangerous than driving cars. C. There are no places for so many bicycles. D. Too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. 35. What does the last sentence mean? A. We should drive cars instead of riding bicycles. B. It’s too far to ride bicycles. C. Bicycles are safe enough. D. We still need to do much to solve the problem. C Height is just one of the thousands of features (特征) your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall then most probably you will be tall too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out. But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can stop you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected (期待的) height. No doubt (怀疑) you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up). Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body maybe going through. Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys. You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. 36. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _________. A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期 C. 习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期 37. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ________. A. you should have enough exercise B. you can ask doctors for help C. you should save the environment D. you can record your growth during puberty 38. After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) _________. A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep time we need C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what healthy diet is 39. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Your height most probably depends on (取决于) how high your parents are. B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’. C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. D. You maybe scared sometimes when you grow too fast. 40. This passage is mainly about ____________. A. how the genes work in your body B. when is the time you grow fast C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain height (D) I have a question for all of us. Is all winning successful? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-costs culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we get there often gets swept under the proverbial rug. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking about with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are the winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win! 41. According to the passage, which of the following is regarded as success in our society? A. Winning the champion in a match B. Making progress in learning English C. Correcting mistakes of your behavior D. Planning to improve oneself step by step 42. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “ _________”. A. shows the result B. does some harm C. catches little attention D. decides the success 43. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show ________. A. it’s difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it’s better to motivate others than to give orders 44. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 45. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. we shouldn’t plan for the end result B. winning doesn’t always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D it’s time for us to change the way we live 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 When you wake up in the morning, do you feel hungry? Do you think of breakfast? ____46____ However, many people don’t eat breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast helps us feel more concentrated (专心致志的) for the coming day. ____47____ That’s bad. Having food in the morning makes us concentrated on the tasks during the day. ____48____ We won’t get angry easily if we have a good breakfast. This is because eating in the morning gives our body the power to get us going and also balances (平衡) blood sugar to prevent those bad feelings.
