Leon’s made few friends, ________? A. does she B. doesn’t he C. has he D. hasn’t he 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：Leon几乎没交到朋友，是吗？ 考查反义疑问句。分析选项和句意可知，这是一个反义疑问句，反义疑问句是由两部分组成，前一部分是一个陈述句，后一部分是一个简短的疑问句。当陈述句是肯定句时，简短的疑问句用否定形式；当陈述句是否定句时，简短的疑问句用肯定形式。本题中，前半句Leon’s made few friends是一个否定句，因为few是否定词，表示几乎没有，所以后半句应该是一个肯定形式的疑问句，题干中Leon’s是Leon has的缩写，所以本句的时态是现在完成时，助动词是has，he是男性第三人称单数，因此has he是现在完成时的肯定形式。故选C。 7.

A. of B. to C. for D. / 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他帮我解决这个问题真是太好了。 考查固定句型。“It’s+形容词+of+sb.+to do sth.”表示“某人做某事是……的”，其中形容词用来描述人的性格或品质，of后面跟的是人；句中“kind”是形容词，意为“善良的”，用来描述人物的性格或品质，使用此句型。故选A。 8.

A. quite a few B. a great deal of C. huge amounts of D. a great number of 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：玛丽在九年级。每个周末她都有大量的作业要做。 考查形容词短语。quite a few“相当多的”，修饰可数名词的复数形式；a great deal of“大量的”，用于修饰不可数名词；huge amounts of“大量的”，也用于修饰不可数名词，但通常用于描述数量巨大的物品或事物；a great number of“大量的”，用于修饰可数名词的复数形式。分析句子结构可知，空后“homework”为不可数名词，用a great deal of最符合语境，表示玛丽有很多作业要做。故选B。 12. No one tells us ________, so we need your help. A. how we should do B. how to do it C. what should we do D. what to do it 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：没有人告诉我们怎么做，所以我们需要你的帮助。 考查不定式和宾语从句。how we should do错误形式；how to do it如何去做；what should we do我们应该做什么；what to do it错误形式。分析句子结构可知，空处是“tells”的宾语从句，宾语从句要用陈述句语序，根据“ so we need your help”可知，我们需要帮助，可推知没有人告诉我们该怎么做。故选B。 13.

A. raised; had risen to; rise by B. rose; had risen by; rise to C. raised; had risen by; rise to D. rose; had raised to; raise by 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位女士的丈夫抬起头告诉我，昨天的最高气温升到了36℃，但明天温度将会上升3度。 考查动词辨析及动词短语。raise和rise均表示“上升”，但raise是及物动词，后面需要接宾语，而rise是不及物动词，后面不需要接宾语。第一空后有his head，应该填raised，表示“抬头”；第二空，rise to表示“上升到”，rise by表示“增长了”，此空后的36℃是温度，是上升到的终点，所以此空应该填had risen to，表示昨天的最高温度已经上升到36℃；第三空，此空后的3 degrees是温度上升的幅度，所以此空应该填rise by，表示明天温度将会上升3度。故选A。 16.

Which subject did Kitty like best when she ________ (study) in her primary school? 【答案】studied 【解析】 【详解】句意：Kitty在小学时最喜欢哪一门学科？分析句子结构可知，这是一个由when引导的时间状语从句，主句“Which subject did Kitty like best”是一个过去时的疑问句，从句“when she ... in her primary school”是一个时间状语从句，用于说明主句中动作发生的时间背景。由于主句是过去时，且从句中的“in her primary school”也明确指出了是一个过去的时间段，因此从句中的动词应该使用过去时来与主句保持一致，study“学习”是一个规则动词，其过去式是在词尾加-ed，即studied，故填studied。 50. I hope her health ________ (improve) greatly by the time we come back the next year. 【答案】will have improved 【解析】 【详解】句意：我希望到明年我们回来的时候，她的健康状况会有很大的改善。分析句子结构可知，主句I hope使用的是一般现在时，表示现在的希望或期望，宾语从句“her health ... greatly by the time we come back the next year”中，由于“by the time we come back the next year”是一个表示将来时间点的短语，且该时间点与希望发生的动作（即健康状况的改善）之间存在时间上的先后顺序，即希望在那个时间点之前健康状况已经得到改善，因此，宾语从句应该使用将来完成时，表示到将来某一时间为止，动作已经完成或状态已经实现。根据上述分析，空格处应填入将来完成时的动词形式。improve“改善”，动词，其将来完成时形式为will have improved，故填will have improved。 六、Part 2 Reading and Writing (第三部分读写)VI. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（共50分） A. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) They crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store parking lot. I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. However, I realized that it was an elderly couple. No more anger. The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. She was his eyes as well. The two of them worked as one--each needing the other to function in this fast-changing world. That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life. Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young. That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasn’t so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it. I started to think--not only was I lucky to have it all, but also was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world. There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. The image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders. We should spend an extra minute to listen and learn when it comes to helping our elder friends. They need it. 51. What was the writer’s first reaction when he was stopped by the old couple? A. He got angry at being delayed B. He didn’t mind at all C. He showed great pity for the couple D. He waited patiently 52. After meeting the old couple the writer thought ________. A. they lived a happier life than he B. they should be respected because of their love C. they didn’t live a happy life without hardships D. they lived happily by walking together 53. The underlined word “perception” in Paragraph3 probably means “________”. A. strength B. method C. picture D. understanding 54. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that ________. A. the writer once decided to change his job B. the writer’s wife gave him lots of support C. old people are more likely to get impatient with others D. it is a bad time to live a long life full of hardships 55. The writer wants to tell us in the last paragraph that ________. A. everyone should live with dignity and strength B. old people can teach us many important lessons C. we should be patient when dealing with old people D. happiness comes from walking arm-in-arm 56. What do we know about the writer according to the passage? A. He and his wife are in their old age B. He has a good but busy job C. His wife is very bad actually D. He and his wife often walk arm-in-arm 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. B 55. C 56. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者在驾车离开商店停车场时，遇到一对相互扶持、携手前行的老年夫妇。起初，作者因他们的出现而稍有不满，但随后意识到这位男士是盲人，完全依赖他的妻子行走和生活。这一幕深深触动了作者，让他反思自己的生活态度。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. However, I realized that it was an elderly couple. No more anger.”可知，作者原本会因为被耽误十秒钟而感到生气，但当他意识到是一对老年夫妇时，就不再生气了。这表明作者最初的第一反应是生气的，故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“I started to think--not only was I lucky to have it all, but also was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.”可知，作者开始思考，他觉得自己很幸运拥有这一切，而那对老年夫妇也很幸运，尽管他们经历了漫长生活中的种种磨难，但他们仍然拥有彼此的爱和支持。这表明作者认为这对夫妇应该因为他们的爱而受到尊重，故选B。 【53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据原文“That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life.”以及“Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.”可知，那天的小例子改变了作者对生活理解，作者对于人生的意义有了重新的理解，由此可推测这里的perception指的是对生活的理解和看法，故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it.”可知，作者的妻子总是在他需要的时候给他好的建议，这表明作者的妻子给了他很多支持，故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“We should spend an extra minute to listen and learn when it comes to helping our elder friends. They need it.”可知，我们应该在帮助老年朋友时多花一分钟去倾听和学习，因为他们需要这样。这表明作者认为我们在与老年人打交道时应该保持耐心，故选C。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文“Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.”可推断，作者突然不那么生气需要在周六多工作几个小时了，这表明他有一份需要加班的工作，即他的工作虽然好但也很忙，故选B。 B. Choose the best words and complete the passage.

There are spicy food lovers all around the world. A lot of people desire to have spicy foods in their daily life. In China, we love hot peppers (辣椒), fiery-hot chicken wings and we put spicy seasonings (调味品) on top of just about everything. Thankfully, spicy foods are generally good for us. They do more than add flavor (调味) to your favourite meals. Spicy foods are good for your heart. People who regularly eat foods rich in spice are less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (中风). Chili peppers provides three times more vitamin C than oranges. The unique chili pepper heat comes from a component called capsaicin (辣椒素) which helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduces inflammation (炎症). Spicy foods also help prevent cancer. Capsaicin has been found to kill some cancer cells, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Turmeric (姜黄), which is the main spice in curry, has been shown to help slow down the spread of certain cancer cells. Spicy foods can even help you lose weight. After eating something spicy, you burn more calories than if you were to have eaten something bland (清淡). Also, studies show that spicy foods leave you feeling more satisfied than their non-spicy eaters. This means you’re more likely to stick to your diet and not overeat. Try adding some hot sauce to your next meal and see if you notice a difference. Spicy foods also have other benefits. They can lighten your mood, making you feel happier. In addition, they can fight symptoms of the common cold by helping you work up a sweat. In fact, “spicy” is a burning feeling that you have on the surface of your tongue. That some people can stand spicy food is because their tongues have become less sensitive to it. If you cannot handle the fiery heat, try to build up a tolerance (耐受力) gradually. Drinking milk or other milk drinks such as yogurt can “coat your tongue” and help you cool down after a spicy meal. If you happen to be a spicy food lover, congratulations! Don’t hesitate to include spicy foods in your balanced diet! 70. Do many people in the world like eating spicy foods? _____________________________________________ 71.

Answer the questions. There are spicy food lovers all around the world. A lot of people desire to have spicy foods in their daily life. In China we love hot peppers (辣椒), fiery-hot chicken wings and we put spicy seasonings (调味品) on top of just about everything. Thankfully, spicy foods are generally good for us. They do more than add flavor (调味) to your favourite meals. Spicy foods are good for your heart. People who regularly eat foods rich in spice are less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (中风). Chili peppers provides three times more vitamin C than oranges. The unique chili pepper heat comes from a component called capsaicin (辣椒素) which helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduces inflammation (炎症). Spicy foods also help prevent cancer. Capsaicin has been found to kill some cancer cells, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Turmeric (姜黄), which is the main spice in curry, has been shown to help slow down the spread of certain cancer cells. Spicy foods can even help you lose weight. After eating something spicy, you burn more calories than if you were to have eaten something bland (清淡). Also, studies show that spicy foods leave you feeling more satisfied than their non-spicy eaters. This means you’re more likely to stick to your diet and not overeat. Try adding some hot sauce to your next meal and see if you notice a difference. Spicy foods also have other benefits. They can lighten your mood, making you feel happier. In addition, they can fight symptoms of the common cold by helping you work up a sweat. In fact, “spicy” is a burning feeling that you have on the surface of your tongue. That some people can stand spicy food is because their tongues have become less sensitive to it. If you cannot handle the fiery heat, try to build up a tolerance (耐受力) gradually. Drinking milk or other milk drinks such as yogurt can “coat your tongue” and help you cool down after a spicy meal. If you happen to be a spicy food lover, congratulations! Don’t hesitate to include spicy foods in your balanced diet! 70. Do many people in the world like eating spicy foods? _____________________________________________ 71.
