When I was still little, my whole family would get together on almost every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grown-ups were discussing something that we were not interested in, we kids would be playing hide-and-seek under the table. When I got a little older, my aunt got married. My grandma would cheerfully add another seat to the round table for my aunt’s husband. It was a little more crowded, but we all felt closer to this new family member. When I was fifteen, my grandma passed away. But when the big family got together once again, we all agreed that her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks should keep the same, even though her seat was empty. We felt like that she had never left us. We all have a table like this in our homes. It is a symbol of getting together with our family members. In fact, in China, it seems that nothing can’t be solved over a round table. The marriage vows (誓言) between a loving couple, the mourning (哀悼) for the dead, the talks between business partners can all happen on a round table. The food on the table may change with time. The people sitting beside it may come and go. The reasons why we come together seem to be different. But the true meaning behind it keeps the same year after year. And that is the tolerance (包容) of different people, different cultures and different art forms. Moreover, we express our love, care and respect not only for our family, but also for our society, our nation or even the whole world on the round table. 4 Why did the family keep the writer’s grandmother’s chair at the table even after she passed away? A. They wanted to remember her. B. They had no other place to put it. C. They felt as if she was with them. D. They were waiting for her to come back. 5.

A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 6. What does “the true meaning” refer to for the writer’s family in the last paragraph? A. Enjoying the food. B. Love and respect for each other. C. Discussing work and business. D. Celebrating important events. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A round table. B. The culture of family get-together. C. Traditional festivals in China. D. Memories of the writer’s childhood. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7.

How do you address them? Should you get to the point immediately? This guide will help you feel confident about emailing. Think about who you’re emailing. Is he or she a friend, a teacher, or someone new? That will change how you address that person. For friends, “Hi ________” or “Hello ________” is enough. For teachers, it depends on how well you know them. If you’re unfamiliar with the teacher, it’s always good to be polite. Use “Dear Mrs. ________” or “Hello Mr. ________.” For new contacts, “Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. ________” is always the best way to open an email. For the body part, it’s always good to start with, “My name is ________ and I go to ________ (name of your school). I have questions about...” This will help the receiver understand who you are and why you are writing to him or her. Keep your email short and clear Remember to be polite! “Please” and “Thank you” can go a long way. Emails are not like WeChat messages! You should properly organize your emails. Start with a greeting, then write the body, and sign off at the end of your email. Use standard email fonts (字体) like Arial and Calibri. But Comic Sans MS (a font with rounded letters) may not be taken seriously. And don’t use too many exclamation points (感叹号). Read your email before you send it. Make sure you’ve spelled the person’s name correctly and look for misspelled or missing words. It’s a good idea to add the email address last, just for fear that you click “send” by accident before you are ready. 8. Amy is writing an email. Where in her letter should she put the sentence, “My name is Mary and I am a student from No. 15 Middle School.”? A. In the greeting line. B. At the end of the email. C. At the beginning of the body.

But 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了在韩国国家剧院举行的一场特别活动，机器人EveR 6带领管弦乐队演奏了韩国音乐；文章还介绍了EveR 6的特点以及人们对它的看法。 【31题详解】 句意：一个名EveR 6的机器人带领一个管弦乐队表演韩国音乐。根据空后“performance of Korean music”可知，此处是一场韩国音乐的表演，其中performance是可数名词，所以此处应用不定冠词表泛指，且performance是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a修饰。故填a。 【32题详解】 句意：机器人指挥管弦乐队在其他国家也有过，但在韩国还是第一次。根据“the … time”可知，此处是指第一次，应用基数词one的序数词形式first“第一”，作定语，修饰名词time。故填first。 【33题详解】 句意：它可以在许多不同的方向快速而平稳地移动它的手臂。根据空后名词arms可知，此处是指它的手臂，应用人称代词主格it的形容词性物主代词its“它的”作定语，修饰名词arms。故填its。 【34题详解】 句意：在当天的演出中，国立交响乐团演奏了《缺席》。由语境可知，句子陈述过去发生的事情，时态应为一般过去时，谓语动词present“上演”应用过去式presented。故填presented。 【35题详解】 句意：机器人手臂的每一次移动都会带来更多的乐器，管弦乐队的音乐也变得越来越响亮，越来越激动人心。根据下文“louder and more exciting”可知，此处是指更多的乐器，应用much的比较级more“更多的”作定语，修饰名词instruments。故填more。 【36题详解】 句意：他说：“这个机器人能够表现出如此详细的动作，比我想象的要好得多。”根据“much better … I had imagined”可知，此处是指比想象的要好得多，考查than“比”，连词。故填than。 【37题详解】 句意：“有些人认为指挥只是挥手和保持节奏的结合，”崔说。根据空前“keep the”可知，此处是指保持节奏，考查beat“(音乐的) 节奏”，名词，此处用名词单数形式。故填beat。 【38题详解】 句意：但是一个好的指挥需要仔细聆听乐队，这样他或她才能在乐队演奏时纠正和鼓励乐队。分析句子结构可知，此处应用名词care的副词形式carefully“仔细地”修饰动词，在句中作状语。故填carefully。 【39题详解】 句意：崔说，一旦EveR 6开始，音乐家们“别无选择，只能跟着它的节拍走”。根据空前“had no choice but…”可知，此处考查have no choice but do sth.“别无选择只好做某事”，这里应用动词不定式作介词but的宾语，follow“跟着”，动词，其不定式为to follow。故填to follow。 【40题详解】 句意：但他认为，机器人在练习音乐等需要多次重复的情况下可能会有所帮助。根据上文“Mr. Choi doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors.”和下文“he believes robots could be helpful…”可知，前后两句存在转折关系，应用but连接句子，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填But。 VI. Reading Expression (共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill the blanks. (Only one word for one blank) In Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch fish. Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, they started to work together more than a century ago. “The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets (网).” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast (撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins,” said Cantor. The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative (合作的) dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates (生存率) than other dolphins. Human-animal partnerships have been unusual. But they give us an idea of how we can get along well with nature. 41. The passage mainly introduces a ________ fishing team which is made up of human fishers and ________ in Brazil. 42.

The study found fishermen are ________ times more likely to catch fish with the ________ of dolphins. 45. ________ partnerships give us an idea of how ________ get along well with nature. 【答案】41. ①. special ②. dolphins 42. ①. study ②. over 43 ①. best ②. give 44. ①. seventeen##17 ②. cooperation 45. ①. Human-animal ②. to 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个特殊的捕鱼团队——人类和海豚，他们合作捕鱼实现了共赢。 【41题详解】 根据第一段“In Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch fish.”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了巴西一个由人类渔民和海豚组成的特殊捕鱼队；special“特殊的”，形容词，在句中作定语；dolphin“海豚”，可数名词，此处应用复数形式dolphins表泛指。故填special；dolphins。 【42题详解】 根据第二段“...they started to work together more than a century ago.”和第四段“Cantor’s study”可知，根据俄勒冈州立大学毛里西奥·康托尔的研究，人类渔民和海豚在一个多世纪前就开始合作了；study“研究，调查”，名词，此处是一项研究，用名词单数形式；more than“超过”，相当于“over”，介词。故填study；over。 【43题详解】 根据第四段“...fishermen and dolphins give signals to each other during fishing...Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance.”可知，为了在捕鱼时抓住最好的机会，渔民会在海豚发出信号时撒网；best“最好的”，形容词，在句中作定语，修饰名词chance；give signals to“给……发信号”，固定搭配；句子为as soon as引导的时间状语从句，主句为一般将来时，从句则用一般现在时，且主语为第三人称复数，谓语动词give用原形。故填best；give。 【44题详解】 根据倒数第二段“The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates than other dolphins.”可知，研究发现，渔民在海豚的合作下捕鱼的可能性要高出17倍；seventeen“十七”，基数词；cooperation“合作；协作”，不可数名词，with the cooperation of“在……的合作下”，介词短语。故填seventeen/17；cooperation。 【45题详解】 根据最后一段“Human-animal partnerships have been unusual. But they give us an idea of how we can get along well with nature.”可知，人与动物伙伴关系让我们了解了如何与自然和谐相处；human-animal partnerships“人与动物关系”，固定搭配，位于句首，首字母要大写；原句中“how we can get along well with nature”可以改为“疑问词+不定式”结构，即how to get along well with nature。故填Human-animal；to。 VII.

When I was still little, my whole family would get together on almost every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grown-ups were discussing something that we were not interested in, we kids would be playing hide-and-seek under the table. When I got a little older, my aunt got married. My grandma would cheerfully add another seat to the round table for my aunt’s husband. It was a little more crowded, but we all felt closer to this new family member. When I was fifteen, my grandma passed away. But when the big family got together once again, we all agreed that her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks should keep the same, even though her seat was empty. We felt like that she had never left us. We all have a table like this in our homes. It is a symbol of getting together with our family members. In fact, in China, it seems that nothing can’t be solved over a round table. The marriage vows (誓言) between a loving couple, the mourning (哀悼) for the dead, the talks between business partners can all happen on a round table. The food on the table may change with time. The people sitting beside it may come and go. The reasons why we come together seem to be different. But the true meaning behind it keeps the same year after year. And that is the tolerance (包容) of different people, different cultures and different art forms. Moreover, we express our love, care and respect not only for our family, but also for our society, our nation or even the whole world on the round table. 4. Why did the family keep the writer’s grandmother’s chair at the table even after she passed away? A. They wanted to remember her. B. They had no other place to put it. C. They felt as if she was with them. D. They were waiting for her to come back. 5. Which of the following does the round table stand for in Chinese culture? ① A tool to play hide-and-seek. ② A place for important discussions. ③ A way to show respect for elders. ④ A symbol of family togetherness. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 6. What does “the true meaning” refer to for the writer’s family in the last paragraph? A. Enjoying the food. B. Love and respect for each other. C. Discussing work and business. D. Celebrating important events. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A round table. B. The culture of family get-together. C. Traditional festivals in China. D. Memories of the writer’s childhood. (C) Emailing people, especially those we’ve never met before, can feel like a challenge. How do you address them? Should you get to the point immediately? This guide will help you feel confident about emailing. Think about who you’re emailing. Is he or she a friend, a teacher, or someone new? That will change how you address that person. For friends, “Hi ________” or “Hello ________” is enough. For teachers, it depends on how well you know them. If you’re unfamiliar with the teacher, it’s always good to be polite. Use “Dear Mrs. ________” or “Hello Mr. ________.” For new contacts, “Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. ________” is always the best way to open an email. For the body part, it’s always good to start with, “My name is ________ and I go to ________ (name of your school). I have questions about...” This will help the receiver understand who you are and why you are writing to him or her. Keep your email short and clear. Remember to be polite! “Please” and “Thank you” can go a long way. Emails are not like WeChat messages! You should properly organize your emails. Start with a greeting, then write the body, and sign off at the end of your email. Use standard email fonts (字体) like Arial and Calibri. But Comic Sans MS (a font with rounded letters) may not be taken seriously. And don’t use too many exclamation points (感叹号). Read your email before you send it. Make sure you’ve spelled the person’s name correctly and look for misspelled or missing words. It’s a good idea to add the email address last, just for fear that you click “send” by accident before you are ready. 8. Amy is writing an email. Where in her letter should she put the sentence, “My name is Mary and I am a student from No. 15 Middle School.”? A. In the greeting line. B. At the end of the email. C. At the beginning of the body. D. In the middle of the email. 9. Compare the following emails carefully. Which of them is the most correct? A. Dear Mr. Wang My name is Li Hua. I’m a middle school student. I was very excited when I heard that a “Time Management” training program will be held in our neighborhood. I think it is very important for us students to learn how to manage our time properly. B. Dear Mr. Wang, I was very excited when I heard that a “Time Management” training program will be held in our neighborhood. I think it is very important for us students to learn how to manage our time properly. C. Dear Mr. Wang! My name is Li Hua! I’m a middle school student.

Dear Mr. Wang, My name is Li Hua, I’m a middle school student. I was very excited when I heard that a “Time Management” training program will be held in our neighborhood, 1 think it is very important for us students to learn how to manage our time properly. 10. Why does the writer advise us to add the email address last? A Because we are less likely to mistype the address. B. Because it will take less time to check the email. C. Because nothing will happen if we click “send” by mistake. D. Because we can make sure the letter is short and clear. 11. Where can you probably read the passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a fashion magazine. C. In a science book. D. In a writing guide. (D) Dunhuang, a city in Gansu Province, has a history of more than two thousand years.

To popularize Dunhuang culture, she has helped organize many successful exhibitions of Dunhuang art. “During the day, I think about Dunhuang. At night, I dream about it. I’ll do everything I can for Dunhuang,” she once said. Now at the age of 85, Fan is as busy as ever. She is still working hard to protect the caves. Peking University, the place where dreams begin, is also the place where dreams are passed on. Fan donated (捐赠) ten million yuan to Peking University for Dunhuang studies last year.

VI. Reading Expression (共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill the blanks. (Only one word for one blank) In Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch fish. Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, they started to work together more than a century ago. “The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets (网).” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast (撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins,” said Cantor.
