Fifty percents; have 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：50%的温水已经用完了。 考查百分数表达和主谓一致。表示百分比用“基数词+percent of”结构，且percent没有复数形式。主语是“Fifty percent of the warm water”，water是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数形式。故选A。 12. — How long does it ________ you to do your homework every day? — I usually ________ two hours doing it.

Illustrator (插画师) Lu Mei, also a qipao lover, has been creating paintings of a woman in qipao for years. Her book Cheongsam with beautiful illustrations tells how the style of the dress has changed in the past 100 years. Lu Mei has been interested in qipao since she read a book by famous writer Zhang Ailing(1920-1995). In 2007, when she was asked to draw the illustrations for a book by Zhang Ailing and the clothes in the book, Lu agreed and started her research on the dress. According to some books, people first wore qipao in the late 1910s and it looked like the robes (长袍) which were long and wide and only worn by men at that time. In the 1930s, the dress was made into a different style—slimer cuts (较修身的裁剪) and higher splits (开叉). “Nowadays qipao becomes a fashion choice for women and a symbol of traditional Chinese culture once again, but the dress is different from what it used to be. Because of the film In the Mood for Love, the dress now is much more close-fitting (紧身的),” Lu said. Lu Mei loves qipao, but she does not often wear it in her everyday life. Instead of wearing the dress, Lu hopes readers can learn something meaningful behind the clothes. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31. The underlined word “elegance” means ________ in Chinese. A. 勤劳 B. 宽容 C. 优雅 D. 朴素 32. We can know the following about Zhang Ailing EXCEPT (除了) that _________.

B. Much more close-fitting C. Slimmer cuts and higher splits. D. Look like robes. 34. What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A. People first wore qipao in the late 1930s. B. Illustrator is an interesting job. C. Lu Mei thinks the culture of qipao is more meaningful. D. To Chinese women, qipao is their favorite clothes. 35. The writer wrote this passage to _______. A. discuss why people love qipao B. encourage women to wear qipao C. tell how qipao was made D. introduce a qipao lover to people 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍插画师陆梅对旗袍的喜爱，同时她希望人们了解其背后的文化。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“a symbol of beauty and...”可知，旗袍是美丽的象征，划线单词与beauty并列，意思相近，“优雅”最符合语境。故选C。 32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“a book by famous writer Zhang Ailing(1920-1995). In 2007, when she was asked to draw the illustrations for a book by Zhang Ailing and the clothes in the book”可知，著名作家张爱玲享年75岁，其中一部作品描写了旗袍，文中并未提及她的出生地。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 1930s, the dress was made into a different style—slimer cuts (较修身的裁剪) and higher splits (开叉)”可知，20世纪30年代的旗袍特点是更修身且开叉更高。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead of wearing the dress, Lu hopes readers can learn something meaningful behind the clothes”可知，陆梅更希望读者能了解旗袍背后有意义东西，所以陆梅认为旗袍的文化更有意义。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。全文主要介绍了插画师陆梅喜爱旗袍，并希望大家了解旗袍文化，所以文章是为了向人们介绍一位旗袍爱好者。故选D。 C Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise? Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits. Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape. Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times. _________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood. Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life? 36. Which of the following charts shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? A. B. C. D. 37. According to the writer, some people can’t stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg because ________. A. they are drunk B. their muscles are tired C. their muscles are weak D. they have fewer muscles 38. Which sentence can be put in the blank ________ in Paragraph 5? A. You will also see some mental benefits. B. You may get other physical benefits. C. Plank exercise is necessary for us. D. Everyone needs plank exercise. 39. How can plank exercise improve our mood? A. By making our muscles strong. B. By speeding up our metabolic rate. C. By slowing down our metabolic rate. D. By relaxing the muscle groups that usually cause stress. 40. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The danger of regular plank exercise. B. The benefits of regular plank exercise. C. The growing popularity of plank exercise. D. Common mistakes (错误) in doing plank exercise. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了经常做平板支撑运动的好处。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism , but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long.”可知，将平板支撑运动作为每天上学前或放学后的家庭运动，不仅可以加快你的新陈代谢，还可以保持一整天的高代谢率，所以D选项的图表显示了完成平板支撑运动后新陈代谢的变化，一直保持在高水平，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need”可知，是因为肌肉不够强壮，也就是肌肉虚弱，故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.”可知，它可以对我们的情绪产生强大而积极的影响，所以结合选项可知A选项“你也会看到一些精神上的好处。”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.”可知，通过放松通常造成压力的肌肉群来改善我们的情绪。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了经常做平板支撑运动的好处。故选B。 D Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple—if you keep the smaller ones, fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce (繁殖), and the fish population will be in danger. But should we always keep the big ones? One scientist, Dr. David Conover, has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule. To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the large ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish randomly (随机地). After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average (平均) fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. That is to say, if only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish are likely to be small. For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size. In other words, it takes less time to shrink (变小) than it does to recover. 41. The underlined word “it” in Line 2 refers to “________”. A. the activity B. the fish C. the rule D. the fisherman 42. Why do fishermen follow the “keep the big ones, throw the small ones back” rule? A. It helps to protect fish numbers. B. It helps to protect fish size. C. They are used to following it. D. They will be punished if they don’t. 43. About the “keep the big ones” group, what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years? A. It made no difference to fish size. B. It affected all fish groups similarly. C. It made the fish bigger on average. D. It made fish smaller on average. 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment? A. The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years. B. The fish in the “keep the large ones” group grew to their normal size in the experiment. C. It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller. D. The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment. 45. Why is the main purpose of this article? A. To ask people to catch big fish. B. To describe a scientific experiment. C. To tell people the danger fish are facing. D. To introduce the rules of fishing to readers. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过实验的方式验证是否可以颠覆“抓大放小”的捕鱼原则，以利于鱼的数量的稳定。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple”可知，此处讲渔民都知道一个捕鱼规则，就是：留下大的，把小的扔回去，“it”指的是上文“留大鱼，扔小鱼”的捕鱼规则。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“if you keep the smaller ones, fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce (繁殖), and the fish population will be in danger”可推断，“留大鱼，扔小鱼”的规则目的是为了保持鱼的数量不减少。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After five years, he measured the fish in each group...smaller than the average size in the other groups.”可知，经过前五年的实验，Conover发现“保留小鱼”的规则会使鱼变小。故选D 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group...it takes less time to shrink (变小) than it does to recover.”可知，在实验结束时，他发现前五年“养大鱼”组的鱼又开始变大，尽管他预计这组鱼至少需要12年的时间才能恢复正常的大小。换句话说，收缩所需的时间比恢复所需的时间更少。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要通过实验的方式验证是否可以颠覆“抓大放小”的捕鱼原则，描述科学实验。故选B。 Jack is a salesman. ____46____ He is very interested in clean water. ____47____ So it’s natural that he is to developer of a small and affordable system(系统) to clean waste water. His “Living Machine” can clean waste water in your home. ____48____ The waste water goes into a big plastic tank where bacteria(细菌) start to break down the waste. A few days later after it is dealt with, the water is brought into a greenhouse filled with plants and fish. With the help of sunlight, the plants and animals remove more chemicals from the water, making it cleaner. Then the water can be reused for washing or bathing. ____49____ But the water is clean enough for watering the flowers, washing the dog, or even for bathing or swimming. The advantage of this technology is that it is affordable and good for the environment. If you have enough homes and businesses to use “Living Machines”, you’d better buy it. ____50____ It can help keep the water supply unpolluted, too. A. It can help to use less fresh water. B.

Some teachers in Sunny Club are Chinese. B Among the traditional clothes, qipao, a dress with a history of over 100 years, has become a symbol of beauty and elegance of Chinese women. Illustrator (插画师) Lu Mei, also a qipao lover, has been creating paintings of a woman in qipao for years. Her book Cheongsam with beautiful illustrations tells how the style of the dress has changed in the past 100 years. Lu Mei has been interested in qipao since she read a book by famous writer Zhang Ailing(1920-1995). In 2007, when she was asked to draw the illustrations for a book by Zhang Ailing and the clothes in the book, Lu agreed and started her research on the dress. According to some books, people first wore qipao in the late 1910s and it looked like the robes (长袍) which were long and wide and only worn by men at that time. In the 1930s, the dress was made into a different style—slimer cuts (较修身的裁剪) and higher splits (开叉). “Nowadays qipao becomes a fashion choice for women and a symbol of traditional Chinese culture once again, but the dress is different from what it used to be. Because of the film In the Mood for Love, the dress now is much more close-fitting (紧身的),” Lu said. Lu Mei loves qipao, but she does not often wear it in her everyday life. Instead of wearing the dress, Lu hopes readers can learn something meaningful behind the clothes. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31. The underlined word “elegance” means ________ in Chinese. A. 勤劳 B. 宽容 C. 优雅 D. 朴素 32. We can know the following about Zhang Ailing EXCEPT (除了) that _________. A. she was born in Shanghai B. she is a well-known writer C. she died at the age of seventy-five D. her book described qipao 33. Which can describe the style of qipao in the 1930s? A. Short and Slim. B. Much more close-fitting C. Slimmer cuts and higher splits. D. Look like robes. 34. What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A. People first wore qipao in the late 1930s. B. Illustrator is an interesting job. C. Lu Mei thinks the culture of qipao is more meaningful. D. To Chinese women, qipao is their favorite clothes. 35 The writer wrote this passage to _______. A. discuss why people love qipao B. encourage women to wear qipao C. tell how qipao was made D. introduce a qipao lover to people C Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise? Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits. Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape. Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times. _________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood. Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life? 36. Which of the following charts shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? A. B. C. D. 37. According to the writer, some people can’t stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg because ________. A. they are drunk B. their muscles are tired C. their muscles are weak D. they have fewer muscles 38. Which sentence can be put in the blank ________ in Paragraph 5? A. You will also see some mental benefits. B. You may get other physical benefits. C. Plank exercise is necessary for us. D. Everyone needs plank exercise. 39. How can plank exercise improve our mood? A. By making our muscles strong. B By speeding up our metabolic rate. C. By slowing down our metabolic rate. D. By relaxing the muscle groups that usually cause stress. 40. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The danger of regular plank exercise. B. The benefits of regular plank exercise. C. The growing popularity of plank exercise. D. Common mistakes (错误) in doing plank exercise. D Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple—if you keep the smaller ones, fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce (繁殖), and the fish population will be in danger. But should we always keep the big ones? One scientist, Dr. David Conover, has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule. To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the large ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish randomly (随机地). After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average (平均) fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. That is to say, if only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish are likely to be small. For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size. In other words, it takes less time to shrink (变小) than it does to recover. 41. The underlined word “it” in Line 2 refers to “________”. A. the activity B. the fish C. the rule D. the fisherman 42. Why do fishermen follow the “keep the big ones, throw the small ones back” rule? A. It helps to protect fish numbers. B. It helps to protect fish size. C. They are used to following it. D. They will be punished if they don’t. 43. About the “keep the big ones” group, what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years? A. It made no difference to fish size. B. It affected all fish groups similarly. C. It made the fish bigger on average. D. It made fish smaller on average. 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment? A. The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years. B. The fish in the “keep the large ones” group grew to their normal size in the experiment. C. It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller. D. The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment. 45.
