First Modern Olympics On April 6, 1896, King George Ⅰ of Greece welcomed people to take part in the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. Back then, Athens was just a small village, and news about the Games was unable to reach many people. As a result, only 245 athletes took part in the games. They weren’t chosen by their countries like now. Instead, they came by themselves and paid for the journey themselves. Ever since then, the Summer Olympic Games have been held every four years in a different city around the world. World Health Day April 7 is World Health Day. This day is not just about hand washing and healthy eating. Each year a different theme is selected. For example, the theme of 2012 World Health Day was Ageing and Health. In 2018, World Health Day focused on high blood pressure. The main causes of blood pressure include stress, too much salt in your food and too little exercise. World Earth Day We call the Earth our “mother”. However, our “mother” is facing lots of problems. April 22 is designated (指定) as World Earth Day. It’s a day to remind us to care about the planet. On this day people do things to help improve the environment and cut down their energy use. World Earth Day comes only once a year, but it reminds people to live in a green way every day. If we truly care about the planet, everyday can be Earth Day! 1. Why did only 245 athletes take part in the first Olympic Games? A. Because most people weren’t interested in it. B. Because communication wasn’t developed. C. Because King George Ⅰ didn’t allow the news to be spread. D. Because the journey to Athens was too long and expensive. 2. Which of the following isn’t the reason for high blood pressure? A. Too much work. B. Too much stress. C. Too little exercise. D. Too much salt. 3. Why does the writer write the text? A. To ask us to respect the tradition. B. To tell us some important days in April. C. To ask us to protect the environment. D. To tell us how to celebrate those days. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了四月份一些重要的日子。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据First Modern Olympics部分第二段中“Back then, Athens was just a small village, and news about the Games was unable to reach many people. As a result, only 245 athletes took part in the games.(那时，雅典只是一个小村庄，关于奥运会的消息无法传递到很多人手中。结果，只有245名运动员参加了比赛)”可知，第一届奥运会只有245个运动员参加是因为当时通讯不发达，消息无法传递到很多人手中。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据World Health Day部分第二段中“The main causes of blood pressure include stress, too much salt in your food and too little exercise.(导致高血压的主要原因包括压力、食物中盐含量过高以及缺乏锻炼)”可知，A项“太多工作”不是导致高血压的原因。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合第一段“There’re some important days to remember in April.(四月里有一些重要的日子值得记住)”可知，本文旨在告诉我们四月份一些重要的日子。故选B。 B Curbelo was born and raised in Sant Clara, a small Cuban (古巴的) city. Later, she moved to Havana to continue her studies and played in popular Cuban bands (乐队). When first Argentine restaurant in Shanghai opened up, she came into China. It gave Chinese audiences a chance to enjoy her music. “I hesitated (犹豫) in the beginning because I didn’t think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China,” she admitted, quickly adding, “But the advice to be a violinist in a traditional Cuban group seemed like a fantastic chance to get to know this beautiful country. So I came to China at last.” This musical journey took her all across China-touring, recording and even producing music for famous bands. Among her most memorable moments, she listed the opening of the World Expo (世博会) 2010 in Shanghai, where she had the opportunity to perform with the famous Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and other foreign artists. A musician’s week is never normal. In addition to a busy schedule, each day is different from the last. Luckily, there is some free time when she can do something she likes. In her free time she always records or visits the shows of other musicians. Curbelo now not only sings in her native Spanish, but also in other languages, including Chinese. “Singing in Chinese is always the most difficult but it brings me much satisfaction. Besides, I have a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture,” Curbelo said. 4. Why did Curbelo hesitate before coming to China? A. She couldn’t speak Chinese very well. B. She didn’t have confidence in her performance. C. She worried Latino culture might not be accepted. D. She didn’t know much about Chinese traditional culture. 5. Which can best describe Curbelo’s musical journey in the fourth paragraph? A. Time-wasting. B. Regretful. C. Money-earning. D. Unforgettable. 6. What does Curbelo often do when she has more free time? A. Enjoy other musicians’ shows. B. Attend meetings. C. Visit famous musicians. D. Make her schedules. 7. What does Curbelo think of her singing in Chinese? A. It is her favorite style. B. It is hard to understand. C. It is much meaningful. D. It is popular worldwide. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生于古巴的音乐人Ivet Curbelo利用上海的一个饭店招音乐人的机会来到了中国，从此她在中国开启了自己的音乐之旅。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““I hesitated (犹豫) in the beginning because I didn’t think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China,” she admitted, quickly adding, “But the advice to be a violinist in a traditional Cuban group seemed like a fantastic chance to get to know this beautiful country. So I came to China at last.” (“一开始我犹豫了，因为我不认为在中国这样一个拥有如此多传统文化的国家有拉丁文化的空间，”她承认，并很快补充道，“但是在一个传统的古巴团体中担任小提琴手的建议似乎是一个了解这个美丽国家的绝佳机会。所以我终于来到了中国。”)”可知，Ivet Curbelo最开始犹豫是因为她担心拉美文化不被接受。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This musical journey took her all across China-touring, recording and even producing music for famous bands. Among her most memorable moments, she listed the opening of the World Expo (世博会) 2010 in Shanghai, where she had the opportunity to perform with the famous Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and other foreign artists. (这段音乐之旅让她走遍了中国——巡演、录音，甚至为著名乐队制作音乐。在她最难忘的时刻中，Curbelo列举了2010年上海世博会的开幕式，在那里她有机会与著名的意大利音乐家Andrea Bocelli和其他外国艺术家同台演出。)”可知，Curbelo的音乐之旅非常丰富精彩，其中上海世博会开幕式上的演出令她非常难忘。由此推知，她的音乐之旅是令人难忘的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Luckily, there is some free time when she can do something she likes. In her free time she always records or visits the shows of other musicians. (幸运的是，有一些空闲时间她可以做自己喜欢的事情。在空闲时间，她总是录音或参观其他音乐家的演出。)”可知，有更多自由时间的时候，Curbelo会经常去欣赏其他音乐家的演出。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Singing in Chinese is always the most difficult but it brings me much satisfaction. Besides, I have a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture,” Curbelo said. (“用中文唱歌一直是最难的，但它给我带来了很大的满足感。此外，我对中国传统文化有了更好的了解，”Curbelo说。)”可知，虽然用中文唱歌很难，但是这给Curbelo带来了满足感和对中国传统文化的了解。由此推知，她认为用中文唱歌非常有意义。故选C项。 C Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach! For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel (沙滩巾) makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. Making castles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools like a shovel (铁铲) is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “bringing sand to the beach.” “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose. To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant.” With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant). 8. What can be pointless to bring when going to the beach? A. A towel. B. A chair. C. A shovel. D. The sand. 9. Why are so many things mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show many activities on a beach trip. B. To show the various meaningless things. C. To advise necessary things for a nice trip. D. To bring hope for an enjoyable family trip. 10. How to understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 5? A. Doing things too much is as bad as doing little. B. We should take measures to protect the ocean. C. People shouldn’t kill life in the sea. D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences. 11. Which saying has the opposite meaning of “pointless, useless actions”? A. Teaching a fish how to swim. B. Providing help to those in need. C. Teaching birds to fly higher and higher. D. Adding some fresh water to the sea. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个英语习语“Bringing sand to the beach (把沙子带到海滩)”的用法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“So, bringing sand-digging tools like a shovel (铁铲) is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “bringing sand to the beach.” (因此，带上挖沙工具——比如铲子和水桶是个好主意。但是你不需要带沙子。大多数海滩已经有很多了！这就引出了我们今天的表达：“把沙子带到海滩上。”)”可推知，去沙滩带沙是徒劳的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel (沙滩巾) makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. (去海滩旅行，我们带几样东西，可以使旅行更愉快。例如，沙滩巾让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带一把沙滩椅。一把沙滩伞可以保护你免受强烈的阳光照射。在海里游泳真的会让你很饿。所以很多人带冷藏箱来装食物和饮料。)”可推知，提到这些物品是为一次愉快的旅行提供必要的建议。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段““Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose. (“把沙子带到海滩”描述的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。这些动作毫无用处。这意味着没有任何意义。)”以及第五段的“Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. (Overkill的意思是做的或拥有的比必要或有用的多。通常在使用这个表达的时候，我们会说“like”。例如，带鲜花去花店开业就像把沙子带到海滩。)”可知，做事太多和做得少一样糟糕。A. Doing things too much is as bad as doing little做事太多和做得少一样糟糕；B. We should take measures to protect the ocean我们应该采取措施保护海洋；C. People shouldn’t kill life in the sea.人们不应该在海里杀死生命；D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences做事不能凭个人喜好。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. (今天我们谈论的是毫无意义的、无用的行动。我们有一个表达方式来帮助我们做到这一点。)”以及最后一段中“We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. (我们通常用“like bring sand to the beach”来表示不需要带什么东西到某地。但是你也可以用不同的物体和地点来表达同样的意思。)”可知，pointless, useless actions意为“无意义、无用的行为”。A. Teaching a fish how to swim smoothly. 教一条鱼如何顺利地游泳；B. Providing timely help to those in need及时为有需要的人提供帮助；C. Teaching eagles to fly higher and higher教鹰飞得越来越高；D. Adding some fresh water to the sea给大海添加一些淡水。选项B是其相反的表达方式。故选B。 D “A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have done a six-year experiment, which proves (证明) that plants make noise in certain stressful situations. Plants produce a high frequency (频率) clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks (咔哒声) become far more regular. They also make different sounds, depending on whether they are thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany. Focusing on tomatoes, wheat (小麦) and corn, the researchers placed the plants in a soundproof (隔音的) room. Some plants were short of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm (算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting (温室环境) which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20 kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80 kHz region, far beyond our hearing. The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has not been proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat. A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to (对……作出反应) sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield (产量). While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. 12. What can we know from the six-year experiment? A. Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations. B. Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed. C. Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency. D. Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation. 13. What is the algorithm used for in the research? A. To reduce the sounds. B. To identify the sounds. C. To control the sounds. D. To produce the sounds. 14. What has been proven by scientists according to the passage? A. Plants can hear each other’s cry for help. B. Animals can hear the sounds made by plants. C. Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make. D. Plants can make sounds and react to sound waves. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Beautiful Songs from Plants B. Sounds That We Can’t Hear C. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed D. Plants React to Different Types of Stress 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Scientists at Tel Aviv University have done a six-year experiment, which proves (证明) that plants make noise in certain stressful situations. (特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。)”和第二段中的“Plants produce a high frequency (频率) clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks (咔哒声) become far more regular. (植物会发出高频率的咔哒声，当缺水或受损时，咔哒声会变得更有规律。)”可知，这项为期六年的实验表明植物在有压力的情况下会发出有规律的声音。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“The researchers used an algorithm (算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. (研究人员使用了一种算法来分离噪音，成功地根据它们缺水还是受到切割来区分声音。)”可知，该算法用来分离噪音，辨别声音。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to (对……作出反应) sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield (产量). While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. (几年前，中国农业大学的Reda Hassanien领导的一项研究也证明了植物对声波的反应，一些植物的产量大大提高。虽然有证据表明植物可以对声音做出反应，但现在还没有证据表明它们真的能听到声音。)”可知，植物可以发出声音并对声波做出反应。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中的“Scientists at Tel Aviv University have done a six-year experiment, which proves (证明) that plants make noise in certain stressful situations. (特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。所以“Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed (植物会说话，尤其是在有压力的时候)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to improve your writing skills Writing, like any other skill, is something we can get better at with time and practice.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum”, Peter said, “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: literature,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark(评分) your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment”, Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “literature” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “L-I-T-E-R-A-T-R-U-E”, he whispered. He spelled it wrong. Paragraph 1. “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. Slowly, Peter raised his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”. Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 percent on the test.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peter认真准备了老师要进行的单词拼写测试，并如愿以偿地获得老师的奖励，但是，后来核实自己的试卷时，却发现自己犯了一个错误。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我应该怎么办？’Peter自言自语。”可知，第一段可描写Peter在内心挣扎后，在沉默和诚实之间选择了诚实。 ②由第二段首句内容“Peter缓缓地举起了手。”可知，第二段可描写Peter告诉老师自己拼错了一个单词，得到老师的夸奖。 2.续写线索： 陷入沉思——想起妈妈的话——举手说出事实——同学们惊讶——老师夸奖Peter诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想起：remember/recall ②举手：raise his hand/put his hand up ③把某物递给某人：hand sb sth/pass sb sth 情绪类 ①惊讶：with surprise/with astonishment ②诚实的：honest/truthful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

First Modern Olympics On April 6, 1896, King George Ⅰ of Greece welcomed people to take part in the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. Back then, Athens was just a small village, and news about the Games was unable to reach many people. As a result, only 245 athletes took part in the games. They weren’t chosen by their countries like now. Instead, they came by themselves and paid for the journey themselves. Ever since then, the Summer Olympic Games have been held every four years in a different city around the world. World Health Day April 7 is World Health Day. This day is not just about hand washing and healthy eating. Each year a different theme is selected. For example, the theme of 2012 World Health Day was Ageing and Health. In 2018, World Health Day focused on high blood pressure. The main causes of blood pressure include stress, too much salt in your food and too little exercise. World Earth Day We call the Earth our “mother”. However, our “mother” is facing lots of problems. April 22 is designated (指定) as World Earth Day. It’s a day to remind us to care about the planet. On this day people do things to help improve the environment and cut down their energy use. World Earth Day comes only once a year, but it reminds people to live in a green way every day. If we truly care about the planet, everyday can be Earth Day! 1. Why did only 245 athletes take part in the first Olympic Games? A. Because most people weren’t interested in it. B. Because communication wasn’t developed. C. Because King George Ⅰ didn’t allow the news to be spread. D. Because the journey to Athens was too long and expensive. 2. Which of the following isn’t the reason for high blood pressure? A. Too much work. B. Too much stress. C. Too little exercise. D. Too much salt. 3. Why does the writer write the text? A. To ask us to respect the tradition. B. To tell us some important days in April. C. To ask us to protect the environment. D. To tell us how to celebrate those days. B Curbelo was born and raised in Sant Clara, a small Cuban (古巴的) city. Later, she moved to Havana to continue her studies and played in popular Cuban bands (乐队). When first Argentine restaurant in Shanghai opened up, she came into China. It gave Chinese audiences a chance to enjoy her music. “I hesitated (犹豫) in the beginning because I didn’t think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China” she admitted, quickly adding, “But the advice to be a violinist in a traditional Cuban group seemed like a fantastic chance to get to know this beautiful country. So I came to China at last.” This musical journey took her all across China-touring, recording and even producing music for famous bands. Among her most memorable moments, she listed the opening of the World Expo (世博会) 2010 in Shanghai, where she had the opportunity to perform with the famous Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and other foreign artists. A musician’s week is never normal. In addition to a busy schedule, each day is different from the last. Luckily, there is some free time when she can do something she likes. In her free time she always records or visits the shows of other musicians. Curbelo now not only sings in her native Spanish, but also in other languages, including Chinese. “Singing in Chinese is always the most difficult but it brings me much satisfaction. Besides, I have a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture,” Curbelo said. 4. Why did Curbelo hesitate before coming to China? A. She couldn’t speak Chinese very well. B. She didn’t have confidence in her performance. C. She worried Latino culture might not be accepted. D. She didn’t know much about Chinese traditional culture. 5. Which can best describe Curbelo’s musical journey in the fourth paragraph? A. Time-wasting. B. Regretful. C. Money-earning. D. Unforgettable. 6. What does Curbelo often do when she has more free time? A. Enjoy other musicians’ shows. B. Attend meetings. C. Visit famous musicians. D. Make her schedules. 7. What does Curbelo think of her singing in Chinese? A. It is her favorite style. B. It is hard to understand. C. It is much meaningful. D. It is popular worldwide. C Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach! For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel (沙滩巾) makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. Making castles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools like a shovel (铁铲) is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “bringing sand to the beach.” “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose. To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant.” With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant). 8. What can be pointless to bring when going to the beach? A. A towel. B. A chair. C. A shovel. D. The sand. 9. Why are so many things mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show many activities on a beach trip. B. To show the various meaningless things. C. To advise necessary things for a nice trip. D To bring hope for an enjoyable family trip. 10. How to understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 5? A Doing things too much is as bad as doing little. B. We should take measures to protect the ocean. C. People shouldn’t kill life in the sea. D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences. 11. Which saying has the opposite meaning of “pointless, useless actions”? A. Teaching a fish how to swim. B. Providing help to those in need. C. Teaching birds to fly higher and higher. D. Adding some fresh water to the sea. D “A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have done a six-year experiment, which proves (证明) that plants make noise in certain stressful situations. Plants produce a high frequency (频率) clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks (咔哒声) become far more regular. They also make different sounds, depending on whether they are thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany. Focusing on tomatoes, wheat (小麦) and corn, the researchers placed the plants in a soundproof (隔音的) room. Some plants were short of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm (算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting (温室环境) which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20 kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80 kHz region, far beyond our hearing. The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has not been proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat. A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to (对……作出反应) sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield (产量). While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. 12. What can we know from the six-year experiment? A. Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations. B. Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed. C. Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency. D. Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation. 13. What is the algorithm used for in the research? A. To reduce the sounds. B. To identify the sounds. C. To control the sounds. D. To produce the sounds. 14. What has been proven by scientists according to the passage? A. Plants can hear each other’s cry for help. B. Animals can hear the sounds made by plants. C. Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make. D. Plants can make sounds and react to sound waves. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Beautiful Songs from Plants B. Sounds That We Can’t Hear C. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed D. Plants React to Different Types of Stress 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to improve your writing skills Writing, like any other skill, is something we can get better at with time and practice.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum”, Peter said, “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: literature,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark(评分) your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment”, Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “literature” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “L-I-T-E-R-A-T-R-U-E”, he whispered. He spelled it wrong. Paragraph 1. “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2.
