Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the live-streaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive and help more people understand the culture. Online traditional Yue Opera show     Recently, Chen Yu, an actress of Yue Opera in Ningbo, Zhejiang province has caught people’s attention through live-streaming. She wears costumes and sings beautiful songs from Yue Opera. Apart from singing, Chen also introduces knowledge about Yue Opera when interacting with her fans. “A number of people at home and abroad visit me online, so as an actress, it’s necessary for me to tell new comers about this traditional culture.” National parks with Yangtze River Culture     China plans to construct national parks with Yangtze River culture as their theme, as part of efforts to protect the waterway’s cultural heritage. According to a circular (通告) on the parks’ construction (建造) said by the central leading group on developing national-culture parks, the parks will be located in the 13 provincial-level areas in the Yangtze River basin. 11．All news above has something to do with ________. A．world B．tradition C．culture D．Internet 12．The best heading for the first piece of news would be ________. A．Having Chinese knots classes online B．Introducing the art of Chinese knots C．Live-streaming the art of making Chinese knots D．Attracting more handicraft lovers to make Chinese knots 13．The underlined word “live-streaming” in the first news is close to ________.

They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it. “Every house is a team effort (努力),” Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility (责任) to keep our home clean.” Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn (赚得) digital points after doing chores. Kids can use their points to get real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards,” says Joe Black, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores.” 16．Jane Smith thinks that ________. A．chores aren’t worth doing B．kids don’t want to do chores C．kids should get money from doing chores D．kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores 17．ChoreMonster is a(n) ________.

B．To encourage kids to do chores. C．To use points for real rewards. D．To give kids advice on doing chores. 20．The passage mainly talks about ________. A．how to encourage kids to do chores B．what kind of chores kids should do C．If kids should do chores at home D．whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores C With their long tusks (象牙), elephants look strong. However, they also make the animal endangered. Many of them are killed for their tusks. People make elephant tusks into crafts (工艺品) and jewelry (珠宝) and sell them to rich people. But can these priceless (无价的) body parts grow back? The answer is no, Live Science said. The elephants’ tusks are actually part of their teeth. Nearly all African elephants and most male Asian elephants have these long teeth. About one-third of the tusk is in the animal’s skull (头骨). The tusk has a nerve (神经) running down its center. This makes it similar to your teeth. Once you lose a tooth, you will never grow a new one. Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves, lift things, dig for water and gather food. But losing the tusk will not kill them. How they lose the tusk is what matters. Usually, people get tusks by culling (限量捕杀), which means killing old and weak elephants. They also take tusks from the elephants that have died naturally. However, these sources aren’t enough to keep up with the need for tusks. Therefore, some poachers (偷猎者) kill healthy elephants and cut their faces open to remove the tusks. About 27, 000 elephants are killed by poachers each year according to National Geographic. As a result of poaching, some African elephants have gradually evolved (进化) without tusks, which has helped them avoid being killed. In Mozambique, about 90 percent of African elephants were killed for their ivory and meat from 1975 to 1992, National Geographic reported. Scientists found that about a third of younger females—the generation born after 1992—never developed tusks. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 21．According to the passage, why are elephants endangered? A．Because people killed them for their tusks. B．Because the environment is getting bad. C．Because it is hard for them to eat with long tusks. D．Because their tusks are weak and useless. 22．Elephants use their tusks to do many things except (除了) ________. A．protecting themselves B．lifting things C．taking a shower D．collecting food 23．What does the National Geographic report say? A．About 27000 elephants are killed by poachers each year. B．The number of poachers has been going down in recent years. C．About 90 percent of all elephants in the world were killed from 1975 to 1992. D．Some African elephants have evolved without tusks due to poaching. 24．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．People will stop buying crafts made out of tusks. B．Future newborn elephants may never grow tusks. C．The number of elephants will go up if the environment improves. D．Elephants may evolve into a completely new species. 25．Which part of a newspaper can this passage be taken from? A．Sports. B．Science. C．Arts. D．Animals. 三、任务型完形填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，用方框中所给词的适当形式填空，使文意通顺，结构正确。（每个单词限用一次） ( visit     so     paint     at     new     city     ideas      first     spent     him ) Pablo Picasso (毕加索) was born in Spain in 1881.

Do you know how tea bag drinking came about?     The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. 38The tea tasted better, and people thought it was easier to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags.  As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided (四面的) tea bag. Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. 39However, many people still prefer loose tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. A．根据短文内容简要回答问题。 36．Who invented the tea bag? 37．What is most tea in the UK packed in today?

D．Some African elephants have evolved without tusks due to poaching. 24．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．People will stop buying crafts made out of tusks. B．Future newborn elephants may never grow tusks. C．The number of elephants will go up if the environment improves. D．Elephants may evolve into a completely new species. 25．Which part of a newspaper can this passage be taken from? A．Sports. B．Science. C．Arts. D．Animals. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．A 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了象牙的特点和功能以及人们猎杀大象的原因，大象正因此而濒危；一些非洲大象为了生存，出生时就没有象牙；文章呼吁大家抵制象牙制品，从而保护大象。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“With their long tusks, elephants look strong. However, they also make the animal endangered. Many of them are killed for their tusks.”可知，为了获取象牙许多大象被杀，这是导致大象濒危的原因。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段“Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves, lift things, dig for water and gather food.”可知，文章没有提到大象用象牙洗澡。故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段“About 27, 000 elephants are killed by poachers each year according to National Geographic.”可知，据《国家地理》报道，每年约有2.7万头大象被偷猎者杀害。故选A。 24．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Scientists found that about a third of younger females—the generation born after 1992—never developed tusks.”可知，科学家们发现，大约三分之一的年轻雌性——1992年以后出生的一代——从未长出象牙；据此可以推断，未来的新生大象可能永远长不出象牙。故选B。 25．推理判断题。综合全文可知，本文主要介绍了象牙的特点、象牙的功能以及人们猎杀大象的原因，大象因此而濒危；一些非洲大象为了生存，出生时就没有象牙，文章呼吁大家抵制象牙制品，从而保护大象；据此可以推断，本文出自报纸的动物版块。故选D。 三、任务型完形填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，用方框中所给词的适当形式填空，使文意通顺，结构正确。（每个单词限用一次） ( visit     so     paint     at     new     city     ideas      first     spent     him ) Pablo Picasso (毕加索) was born in Spain in 1881.

Do you know how tea bag drinking came about?     The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. 38The tea tasted better, and people thought it was easier to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags.  As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided (四面的) tea bag. Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. 39However, many people still prefer loose tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. A．根据短文内容简要回答问题。 36．Who invented the tea bag? 37．What is most tea in the UK packed in today? B．将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。 38． 39． C． 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 40． 【答案】 36． Thomas Sullivan./The tea bag was invented by Thomas Sullivan/ Thomas Sullivan invented the tea bag. 37． Paper bags./Most tea in the UK is packed in paper bags today. 38． 茶尝起来更好喝，而且人们认为杯子更容易清洗。 39． 然而，很多人依然更喜欢散装的茶。 40．How tea bag drinking came about/The history of tea bags/The history of tea bag drinking 【导语】本文讲述了茶包的发明。 36．根据“The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller.”可知，茶包是托马斯·沙利文发明的。故填Thomas Sullivan./The tea bag was invented by Thomas Sullivan/ Thomas Sullivan invented the tea bag. 37．根据“Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.”可知，今天英国装的茶最多的是用纸袋包装的。故填Paper bags./Most tea in the UK is packed in paper bags today. 38．The tea tasted better：茶尝起来更好喝；and而且；people thought：人们认为；it was easier to do sth.：更容易做某事；clean the cup：清洗杯子。故填：茶尝起来更好喝，而且人们认为杯子更容易清洗。 39．However：然而；many people：很多人；still prefer loose tea：依然更喜欢散装的茶。故填：然而，很多人依然更喜欢散装的茶。 40．根据“Tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how tea bag drinking came about?”可知，本文讲述了茶包的发明。因此“茶包的历史”作为标题合适。故填How tea bag drinking came about/The history of tea bags/The history of tea bag drinking。 五、词汇考查（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分） 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。 41．Choose (wise) how you spend your spare time and with whom you spend it. 【答案】wisely 【详解】句意：明智地选择如何度过你的空闲时间以及与谁一起度过。根据“Choose…(wise) how you spend your spare time and with whom you spend it.”可知，wise“明智的”为形容词，此处应用副词wisely修饰动词Choose。故填wisely。 42．Four (nine) of the students in our school suffer from stress. 【答案】ninths 【详解】句意：我们学校九分之四的学生压力很大。表示分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于1时，分母要用复数，nine的序数词的复数形式为ninths。故填ninths。 43．There are some (activity) in the club for us to enjoy. 【答案】activities 【详解】句意：俱乐部里有一些活动供我们享受。根据“There are some…(activity) in the club for us to enjoy.”可知，activity“活动”是可数名词，结合空前的some可知，此处需用其复数形式activities。故填activities。 44．I haven’t (finish) writing this article. 【答案】finished 【详解】句意：我还没有写完这篇文章。根据“haven’t”可知本句为现在完成时的否定形式，其结构为：主语+ haven’t/hasn’t+动词的过去分词，故用finish的过去分词形式finished。故填finished。 45．The Sahara is the (long) desert in the world. 【答案】longest 【详解】句意：撒哈拉是世界上最长的沙漠。根据比较范围“in the world”可知，此处应用形容词最高级，long“长的”，最高级形式为longest。故填longest。 46．We shouldn’t allow people under 18 to (drive).

Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the live-streaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive and help more people understand the culture. Online traditional Yue Opera show     Recently, Chen Yu, an actress of Yue Opera in Ningbo, Zhejiang province has caught people’s attention through live-streaming. She wears costumes and sings beautiful songs from Yue Opera. Apart from singing, Chen also introduces knowledge about Yue Opera when interacting with her fans. “A number of people at home and abroad visit me online, so as an actress, it’s necessary for me to tell new comers about this traditional culture.” National parks with Yangtze River Culture     China plans to construct national parks with Yangtze River culture as their theme, as part of efforts to protect the waterway’s cultural heritage. According to a circular (通告) on the parks’ construction (建造) said by the central leading group on developing national-culture parks, the parks will be located in the 13 provincial-level areas in the Yangtze River basin. 11．All news above has something to do with ________. A．world B．tradition C．culture D．Internet 12．The best heading for the first piece of news would be ________. A．Having Chinese knots classes online B．Introducing the art of Chinese knots C．Live-streaming the art of making Chinese knots D．Attracting more handicraft lovers to make Chinese knots 13．The underlined word “live-streaming” in the first news is close to ________. A．an instrument for recording videos B．the way to make handicrafts C．sending out while happening D．offline classes 14．It’s clear that Chen Yu ________. A．is an actress who sings Yue Opera in Ningbo, Jiangxi province B．aims at spreading the culture of Yue Opera C．wants to enjoy herself by wearing costumes and singing Yue Opera D．wants to attract more people’s attention through live-streaming 15．For the national parks, we can know that ________. A．there has been 13 provinces in the Yangtze River basin B．the theme of the parks is environmental protection C．there are 13 national culture parks in the Yangtze River basin D．the national parks will be built to protect the waterway’s heritage B Many kids help parents to do chores (家务活) in the house. They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it. “Every house is a team effort (努力),” Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility (责任) to keep our home clean.” Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn (赚得) digital points after doing chores. Kids can use their points to get real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards,” says Joe Black, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores.” 16．Jane Smith thinks that ________. A．chores aren’t worth doing B．kids don’t want to do chores C．kids should get money from doing chores D．kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores 17．ChoreMonster is a(n) ________. A．educator B．coach C．app D．app founder 18．If rewarded for doing chores, kids can learn to ________. A．take responsibilities B．use apps well C．make money through work D．understand team effort 19．What’s the purpose of the app mentioned (被提及) in the passage? A．To give kids points and gifts. B．To encourage kids to do chores. C．To use points for real rewards. D．To give kids advice on doing chores. 20．The passage mainly talks about ________. A．how to encourage kids to do chores B．what kind of chores kids should do C．If kids should do chores at home D．whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores C With their long tusks (象牙), elephants look strong. However, they also make the animal endangered. Many of them are killed for their tusks. People make elephant tusks into crafts (工艺品) and jewelry (珠宝) and sell them to rich people. But can these priceless (无价的) body parts grow back? The answer is no, Live Science said. The elephants’ tusks are actually part of their teeth. Nearly all African elephants and most male Asian elephants have these long teeth. About one-third of the tusk is in the animal’s skull (头骨). The tusk has a nerve (神经) running down its center. This makes it similar to your teeth. Once you lose a tooth, you will never grow a new one. Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves, lift things, dig for water and gather food. But losing the tusk will not kill them. How they lose the tusk is what matters. Usually, people get tusks by culling (限量捕杀), which means killing old and weak elephants. They also take tusks from the elephants that have died naturally. However, these sources aren’t enough to keep up with the need for tusks. Therefore, some poachers (偷猎者) kill healthy elephants and cut their faces open to remove the tusks. About 27, 000 elephants are killed by poachers each year according to National Geographic. As a result of poaching, some African elephants have gradually evolved (进化) without tusks, which has helped them avoid being killed. In Mozambique, about 90 percent of African elephants were killed for their ivory and meat from 1975 to 1992, National Geographic reported. Scientists found that about a third of younger females—the generation born after 1992—never developed tusks. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 21．According to the passage, why are elephants endangered? A．Because people killed them for their tusks. B．Because the environment is getting bad. C．Because it is hard for them to eat with long tusks.

Do you know how tea bag drinking came about?     The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. 38The tea tasted better, and people thought it was easier to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags.  As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided (四面的) tea bag. Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. 39However, many people still prefer loose tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
