The Spanish people are very warm to visitors. Although I suggest you should know a few simple words in Spanish to communicate with local people, the Spanish people are willing to speak in English. When we arrived, we didn’t know where to find a hotel. I came to an old man and asked him for help politely. With his help, we got to a cheap but wonderful hotel, which even had a swimming pool. There we really enjoyed ourselves. This year, Jenny is going away with her parents to Greece, so it will be just Alice and me. Alice wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa. That means we have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it would be better than having a lazy holiday, because we would learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not walking all the way. Alice said that we would see elephants and have some amazing experiences. I think she’s bored with lying in the sun all day. I have to make up my mind by next Monday so that she can buy plane tickets. It would cost $1, 400 each to go to Africa, but for two weeks in Portugal, less than half that money would be enough. 39.

I was traveling in a city of Central America with a friend, and we were looking for a post office. We were standing on a street corner and did not know what the Spanish word for “post office” was. One kind man could see we were in difficulty and came up to us. We tried to explain what we were looking for, and he said, “Oh, yes, yes.” He led us down all these little streets. It seemed like we walked for miles. Finally, he pointed us to a building without any name on it. But when we went in, we found it was not a post office. When we walked out and were again standing around looking lost, a woman soon came up and asked if we needed help. Again we tried to explain where we were going. The woman said she could help us. Then we followed her to another building which also had no name and we found it was not a post office, either. At this point we decided not to listen to anybody else. But then another person same up and said, “I can help you.” We said, “No, thank you.” But he didn't listen to us. He actually caught me by the hand and pulled me through the streets. Circling around, we came back to the first corner we had been standing on when we began. He pointed across the street, and there was the post office. 46. How many people helped the writer and his friends look for a post office in the story? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 47. How did the first kind man help them? A. He helped them find the post office. B. He led them down all the little streets. C. He forced them to walk for miles alone. D. He taught them to speak Spanish. 48.

Because “we” worried that he would lead us to a wrong place. D. Because “we” knew he couldn’t help us at all. 【答案】46. B 47. B 48. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在异乡的一次经历。当作者在中美洲旅游时，由于不懂当地语言，在寻找邮局时遇到了困难，幸好当地人友好善良的帮助，虽然前两个人都找错了地方，第三个人还是帮助找到了邮局，及时解决了作者的困难。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One kind man could see we were in difficulty and came up to us. ”、“When we walked out and were again standing around looking lost, a woman soon came up and asked if we needed help. Again we tried to explained where we were going”以及“But then another person came up and said”可知，故事中有三个人帮助作者和他的朋友寻找邮局，故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He led us down all these little streets. It seemed like we walked for miles”可知，第一个人带他们走遍了所有的小街。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But when we went in, we found it was not a post office.”“Then we followed her to another building which also had no name and we found it was not a post office, either.”以及“At this point we decided not to listen to anybody else.”可知前两个人给作者指路，都没有指对地方，所以作者决定不再听任何人的话了，所以当第三个人来提供帮助时，他们拒绝了，因为他们担心他会把他们带到错误的地方。故选C。 E Two years ago, what my 10-year-old son Peter wanted for Christmas was a Hess truck. I told it to my husband Joe, and we agreed to order it. Unluckily, we did not buy it at all. Joe thought I had bought it, and I thought he had. Well, never mind. It was only 9th December. I would just go online and get it. But it was not that simple. My heart dropped when I went on the Hess truck website and saw that the Hess trucks were sold out. I didn’t want to make Peter sad. Finally, I told myself that nothing is difficult for a man who will try. I found out that a shopping center was selling the Hess trucks, but they wouldn’t be available until a month later. Then I decided to buy the Hess truck on Amazon. When I saw it had the Hess trucks, I got excited. Then I noticed that the price was $144, much higher than the list price which was about $30. I decided to tell Peter the truth. Hearing my words, he started to cry. I hugged him for a long time. I said we were really sorry. I also told him something else that he had to learn sooner or later. After a long hug, he stopped crying. Then Joe and I searched the Internet and started looking at other kinds of toy trucks. The next day at school, Peter’s teacher asked all the students to write about one thing they wanted for the holidays. Peter said that he wouldn’t get the Hess truck even though it was the only thing he wanted. But he added that it was OK because Mum had told him that sometimes we just can’t get what we want. 49. Why did the writer try to buy a Hess truck? A. She wanted to buy one as a gift for her husband. B. She wanted to buy one as a gift for her son. C. She wanted to buy one as a gift for herself. D. She wanted to buy one as a gift for her son’s teacher. 50. How did the writer feel when she went on the Hess truck website? A. Happy. B. Terrible. C. Excited. D. Bored. 51. What does the underlined word “available” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. 购得 B. 可找到的 C. 有空的 D. 有价值的 52 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer bought a Hess truck on Amazon finally. B. Joe bought a Hess truck in a shop centre a month later. C. Peter got a Hess truck as a gift for Christmas at last. D. The only thing Peter wanted for Christmas was a Hess truck. 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. A 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了两年前，作者的儿子想要一辆Hess玩具卡车作为圣诞礼物，临近圣诞节，作者在线上和线下都没有购买到这种玩具卡车，好不容易发现在亚马逊网站上有，但是售价远远高出正常价格，所以她没有购买，她将实情告诉了儿子，儿子虽然伤心，但也懂得了一个道理：生活中我们并不能事事都得偿所愿。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Two years ago, what my 10-year-old son Peter wanted for Christmas was a Hess truck.”可知，作者试图购买Hess玩具卡车是因为她想给她儿子买一个作为礼物。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“My heart dropped when I went on the Hess truck website and saw that the Hess trucks were sold out.”可知，当作者在Hess玩具卡车网站上看到玩具卡车已经售罄时，她的心都凉了。由此推知，作者感觉很糟糕。故选B。 【51题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“I found out that a shopping center was selling the Hess trucks, but they wouldn’t be available until a month later.”中的“but”可知，这两句是转折关系，应表示作者发现一个购物中心在销售Hess玩具卡车，但是要等到一个月后才能购得。由此推知，available意为“购得的”。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Peter said that he wouldn’t get the Hess truck even though it was the only thing he wanted.”可知，彼得唯一想要的圣诞礼物是一辆Hess玩具卡车。故选D。 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 I am the only child in my family. My parents give me everything that I want for the past fourteen years. When my parents play games with me, they always let me win so that I will be happy. I like football games. At school I am usually a reserve (替补队员) player in football matches. One day, my coach decided to give me a chance to play a match. I was very excited. Over the next two weeks, I trained hard. Finally, the day arrived. Although it was just a friendly match. I took it very seriously. After the match started, I tried my best but it was not good enough. The team from the other school was more skillful. My team lost the game. When the game was over. I ran off angrily. It was time to shake hands with the other team's players, but I did not do it. Later the coach asked me out and told me the importance of good sportsmanship. He was disappointed at my behavior (行为) in the field. This was the first time that I was reprimanded (谴责) because anyone had never done that before. I was very sad. From the experience I have known that good manners are more important than the result of a match. From then on, I tried to become a boy with good manners. 53. How old is the writer?

Because the team from the other school was more skillful. 55. He has learned that good manners are more important than the result of a match./Good manners are more important than the result of a match. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者所在的球队输了之后，作者拒绝和对方的球员握手，从这个经历中，作者学到礼貌比比赛的结果更重要。 【53题详解】 根据“My parents give me everything that I want for the past fourteen years”可知作者是14岁。故填He is 14 years old. 【54题详解】 根据“The team from the other school was more skillful. My team lost the game.”可知另一所学校的队技术更娴熟，所以作者所在的球队输了比赛。故填Because the team from the other school was more skillful. 【55题详解】 根据“From the experience I have known that good manners are more important than the result of a match”可知作者学到礼貌比比赛的结果更重要。故填He has learned that good manners are more important than the result of a match./Good manners are more important than the result of a match. 第四部分 写作（共两大题，满分25分） IX. 单词拼写（共5小题； 每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

The Spanish people are very warm to visitors. Although I suggest you should know a few simple words in Spanish to communicate with local people, the Spanish people are willing to speak in English. When we arrived, we didn’t know where to find a hotel. I came to an old man and asked him for help politely. With his help, we got to a cheap but wonderful hotel, which even had a swimming pool. There we really enjoyed ourselves. This year, Jenny is going away with her parents to Greece, so it will be just Alice and me. Alice wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa. That means we have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it would be better than having a lazy holiday, because we would learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not walking all the way. Alice said that we would see elephants and have some amazing experiences. I think she’s bored with lying in the sun all day. I have to make up my mind by next Monday so that she can buy plane tickets. It would cost $1, 400 each to go to Africa, but for two weeks in Portugal, less than half that money would be enough. 39. Which word can best describe the old man in Spain? A. Funny. B. Serious. C. Kind. D. Silly. 40. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Going to Greece. B. Walking in the desert and sleeping out in the open. C. Going to Africa D. Relaxing on a beach and lying in the sun all day. 41. What will the writer do by next Monday? A. Make a travel plan. B. Find some information about Africa. C. Tell her friend her decision. D. Buy plane tickets. 42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The three children had a good time in the cheap hotel. B. The Spanish don’t like to speak in English. C Alice doesn’t like to see wild animals. D. It would cost $1, 400 each to go to Portugal. C Surprisingly, the dates and ways of the celebration of Father’s Day are not the same everywhere. Father’s Day is celebrated to thank fathers and express gratitude (感激) for their love. In Canada, it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. People wear roses to express thanks and love for their fathers. This is also a time for a family reunion (团聚) , because children often stay away from their family and this is a good time for them to get together with their fathers and other loved ones. But in Australia, it is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. The day is celebrated only in families. A rich breakfast for family is a good way to celebrate Father’s Day. In Thailand, Father’s Day falls on December 5 every year. All the people have a one-day holiday. You can see many people are in yellow and the streets are decorated in yellow because Father’s Day is also the King’s birthday. Some clubs, schools and cultural societies in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Australia, South Africa organize Father’s Day parties to provide people a chance to celebrate the day to show the importance of father’s role in the family and the society. 43. Why do people have Father’s Day? A. To have a get-together. B. To show thanks to their fathers. C. To send gifts to their fathers. D. To have a family party. 44. How do the Canadians celebrate Father’s Day? A. By wearing roses. B. By dressing nicely. C. By sending fathers many gifts. D. By working harder. 45. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The Australians celebrate Father’s Day in the morning. B. How the Canadians celebrate Father’s Day. C. Why people in Thailand celebrate Father’s Day on December 5. D. People celebrate Father’s Day in different ways and on different dates. D Kindness is not always a straight line. I was traveling in a city of Central America with a friend, and we were looking for a post office. We were standing on a street corner and did not know what the Spanish word for “post office” was. One kind man could see we were in difficulty and came up to us. We tried to explain what we were looking for, and he said, “Oh, yes, yes.” He led us down all these little streets. It seemed like we walked for miles. Finally, he pointed us to a building without any name on it. But when we went in, we found it was not a post office. When we walked out and were again standing around looking lost, a woman soon came up and asked if we needed help. Again we tried to explain where we were going. The woman said she could help us. Then we followed her to another building which also had no name and we found it was not a post office, either. At this point we decided not to listen to anybody else. But then another person same up and said, “I can help you.” We said, “No, thank you.” But he didn't listen to us. He actually caught me by the hand and pulled me through the streets. Circling around, we came back to the first corner we had been standing on when we began. He pointed across the street, and there was the post office. 46. How many people helped the writer and his friends look for a post office in the story? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 47. How did the first kind man help them? A. He helped them find the post office. B. He led them down all the little streets. C. He forced them to walk for miles alone. D. He taught them to speak Spanish. 48. Why did “we” refuse the third person's help at first? A. Because “we” could find the post office by ourselves. B. Because “we” didn’t need any help. C. Because “we” worried that he would lead us to a wrong place. D. Because “we” knew he couldn’t help us at all. E Two years ago, what my 10-year-old son Peter wanted for Christmas was a Hess truck. I told it to my husband Joe, and we agreed to order it. Unluckily, we did not buy it at all. Joe thought I had bought it, and I thought he had. Well, never mind. It was only 9th December. I would just go online and get it. But it was not that simple. My heart dropped when I went on the Hess truck website and saw that the Hess trucks were sold out. I didn’t want to make Peter sad. Finally, I told myself that nothing is difficult for a man who will try. I found out that a shopping center was selling the Hess trucks, but they wouldn’t be available until a month later. Then I decided to buy the Hess truck on Amazon. When I saw it had the Hess trucks, I got excited. Then I noticed that the price was $144, much higher than the list price which was about $30. I decided to tell Peter the truth. Hearing my words, he started to cry. I hugged him for a long time. I said we were really sorry. I also told him something else that he had to learn sooner or later. After a long hug, he stopped crying. Then Joe and I searched the Internet and started looking at other kinds of toy trucks. The next day at school, Peter’s teacher asked all the students to write about one thing they wanted for the holidays. Peter said that he wouldn’t get the Hess truck even though it was the only thing he wanted. But he added that it was OK because Mum had told him that sometimes we just can’t get what we want. 49.

She wanted to buy one as a gift for her son’s teacher. 50. How did the writer feel when she went on the Hess truck website? A. Happy. B. Terrible. C. Excited. D. Bored. 51.

The writer bought a Hess truck on Amazon finally. B. Joe bought a Hess truck in a shop centre a month later. C. Peter got a Hess truck as a gift for Christmas at last. D.
