B We've all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel's back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it's the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel's hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel's bump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That's why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel's blood cells (组胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they'll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel's hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight. Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life. 24．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel. C．The function (功能) of the hump. 25．What does the underlined word "sponges" mean? A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 26．Why does the writer use some numbers in this passage? A．To explain the facts more clearly. B．To express the ideas more politely. C．To make the article more educational. 27．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Camels have some amazing abilities. B．Camels have a perfect system for living in the desert. C．Camels have a great quality of never wasting water. C In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The exact origin of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle. Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the" Alms Box" placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers( 做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, and that is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides， spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now. 28．If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on . A．December 25th B．December 26th C．December 27th 29．Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to . A．pray for sailing safety B．pay for the priest C．discover new land 30．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Only families are trying to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive. B．On Boxing Day, most people will go shopping with families. C．Offering gifts to the poor can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. 31．The purpose of the passage is to . A．praise the kindness of priests B．introduce the origins of Boxing Day C．call on people to help the poor 第二节 (共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分) Have you seen new plants starting to grow? Have you noticed the days are getting longer? 　 32 　 It tells us that no matter how dark or cold things might be, better days are on the way. What is hope? Bernadette Russell, who wrote the book How to be Hopeful, says, "Hope, on one hand, is the knowledge that things can get better. And on the other, it is also about taking actions." Russell speaks of people who have got over very difficult moments, such as firefighters (消防员). Once one firefighter said, "　33． " explains Russell. However, hope is also about taking action. "From winning the World War II to people traveling thousands of miles away to build a new home, there is a long history of taking actions with hope," says Russell. 　34． 　 Scientists say that having hope in difficult moments can help you worry less, feel calmer and improve your feelings. How to be hopeful? Being disappointed and feeling bad are part of life. If it's possible to see hope in those moments, you should. If it isn't, don't worry. Try to keep eyes on good things. For example, you can't change the fact that someone is bad to you. 　35． 　 Even in the most terrible situations, you can decide what you say and do to each other. A. Why is hope good for you? B. These show that spring is coming. C. It's terrible that some people fight it. D. But you can do something kind instead of making things worse. E.

It's easy to tell that kindness is very important. What is kindness then? To be exact, kindness is the quality of being friendly. If we give up our seats on the bus, help a classmate solve a math problem, or welcome a new member into a group activity, we are showing kindness. Actually, these acts are done without expectation of reward (回报). We begin to realise that while helping others, we're in fact helping ourselves. Showing kindness benefits us in different ways. It helps us know about ourselves. It develops our problem-solving skills. It also gives us the chance to be thankful. 60.We can never imagine the power of one simple act of kindness. It may change our day. And that day may change our week. That week may change the rest of the year—or even our whole life. In short, we rise by lifting others. Here are some teenagers' acts of kindness. Linda: I sat next to a new student at lunch. I was pleased because I made her day. Kayla: In order to raise money and protect wild animals, I held a singing competition. Iwas proud of it. Peter: I opened the door for an old lady I felt happy because I could help other people. 56．What is kindness according to the text? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 57．List two benefits of showing kindness. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 58．What did Linda do to show her kindness? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 59．What do you think of Peter's act of kindness? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 60．请将画线部分的英文译成中文。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 IV．写作（满分15分） 66. 假如你叫张明，你的外国朋友John发来邮件，请你介绍中国的传统节日。请根据表格内容提示及要求给他写一封80~100词的回信。 　 Festival Time Food Activities Meanings 1 the Lantern or March in February yuanxiao watch lantern shows and dragon for the whole dances pray for health and happiness 2 the Mid-Autumn Festival in the middle of autumn mooncakes watch the moon; tell the story of Chang'e celebrate harvest get together with the family 3 … … … … … 参考词汇: pray for祈求; harvest丰收 要求: 1）描述节日1和节日2，并自主选择节日3进行介绍，包括节日名称、时间、美食、活动方式及意义等； 2）语言通顺，要点齐全，意思连贯，条理清楚，书写规范； 3）文章开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear John, Glad to receive your email.

The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink.正是驼峰赋予了骆驼在没有食物或水的情况下长时间行走的惊人能力。驼峰就像一个备用的橱柜，骆驼在那里储存食物和水，好几天都没有东西吃或喝，可知主要讲了驼峰的功能，故选C。 25．词义猜测题。根据They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink.它们可以在一杯短饮料中摄入130升水，可知意思是"海绵"，故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据a camel's hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms.That's why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water.They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink.

Have you noticed the days are getting longer? 　 32 　 It tells us that no matter how dark or cold things might be, better days are on the way. What is hope? Bernadette Russell, who wrote the book How to be Hopeful, says, "Hope, on one hand, is the knowledge that things can get better. And on the other, it is also about taking actions." Russell speaks of people who have got over very difficult moments, such as firefighters (消防员). Once one firefighter said, "　33． " explains Russell. However, hope is also about taking action. "From winning the World War II to people traveling thousands of miles away to build a new home, there is a long history of taking actions with hope," says Russell. 　34． 　 Scientists say that having hope in difficult moments can help you worry less, feel calmer and improve your feelings. How to be hopeful? Being disappointed and feeling bad are part of life. If it's possible to see hope in those moments, you should. If it isn't, don't worry. Try to keep eyes on good things. For example, you can't change the fact that someone is bad to you. 　35． 　 Even in the most terrible situations, you can decide what you say and do to each other. A. Why is hope good for you? B. These show that spring is coming. C. It's terrible that some people fight it. D. But you can do something kind instead of making things worse. E. If no people fight it, there's no chance of enjoying a new day. 参考答案： 32．B； 33．E；34．A；35．D 【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文讨论了希望的重要性以及如何保持希望。文章首先通过自然现象如植物生长和白天变长来引出希望的主题，并指出希望代表着更好的日子即将到来。接着，文章引用了Bernadette Russell在《How to be Hopeful》一书中的观点，详细阐述了希望的含义以及它为何重要。最后，文章给出了在困难时刻保持希望的方法，即关注好事，并做一些积极的事情来改善情况。 32．第一空前面提到"Have you seen new plants starting to grow? Have you noticed the days are getting longer?" 这两个句子都在描述春天的到来和自然现象的变化。而B选项"这些表明春天即将来临"正好与前文相呼应，故选B。 33．原文中提到一个消防员的话作为例子，但没有直接给出这句话的内容。但后文提到"explains Russell"，说明这句话可能与希望或行动有关。E选项"If no people fight it, there's no chance of enjoying a new day."（如果没有人反抗它，就没有机会享受新的一天）虽然具体消防员的话可能不同，但这句话在语境上可以与Russell的解释相匹配，表达了一种面对困难时的积极态度。故选E。 34．前文提到"However, hope is also about taking action."，然后列举了多个例子来说明。这里需要一个过渡句来引出下文关于希望好处的科学解释。A选项"Why is hope good for you?"（为什么希望对你有好处？）正好起到了这个作用，引导读者思考希望的好处。故选A。 35．原文中提到"you can't change the fact that someone is bad to you"，但随后强调即使在困难情况下也可以控制自己的言行。F选项"But you can do something kind instead of making things worse."（但你可以做一些好事而不是让事情变得更糟）与前文形成了转折，并给出了积极的建议。故选D。 III．语言运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。  One day, when Jakey went outside to play, he found a hedgehog (刺猬) in a window well (井).

It helps us know about ourselves. It develops our problem-solving skills. It also gives us the chance to be thankful. 60.We can never imagine the power of one simple act of kindness. It may change our day. And that day may change our week. That week may change the rest of the year—or even our whole life. In short, we rise by lifting others.
