I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape after so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually (不经意地) mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat. I put the old one in my closet (壁橱) and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet something upset me. It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold, winter days. After a few weeks I took it out and drove to a local charity (慈善机构). I knew that there someone who couldn’t afford a coat might get my old one. I dropped it off and walked out the door. Then I saw a shivering (瑟瑟发抖的) man in only a thin jacket walking in. I wondered if he would end up in my old coat. Then I smiled and went home with a warm heart. My new coat is old now. It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will wait a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead. Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is to give. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have. May all of your days be full of Warmth! May all of your days be full of Giving! May all of your days be full of Love! 44. 请回答问题。Who bought a new winter coat for the writer? _____________________________________________ 45. 请把文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 _____________________________________________ 46. 请从文中找出与下面所给句子意思相近的句子。 It is in such bad shape that I can’t give it away to charity. _____________________________________________ 47. 请给短文拟一个恰当的英文标题。 _____________________________________________ 48. 请结合自身实际回答问题。How do you usually deal with your old clothes? _____________________________________________ 2、2024·南通市启东市统考·期中卷 It's common to play video games as a way to reduce stress. We play games for fun, relaxation and even to kill time. However, one student has found a much more creative way to use video games. Wu Hele, 17, a Senior 3 student from Jinling High School, Nanjing, has been preparing a gift for his high school - a recreation(重建) of his own school in the game Minecraft《我的世界》. It is a game that allows players to design landscapes and buildings in all different types of locations with different materials. For Wu, recreating the school was not just a sudden idea. During Wu's first time visiting the school, he found that it was perfect for rebuilding. "The landscape of the school is regular, and buildings all had a symmetrical, aesthetic feeling, which is suitable for rebuilding with Minecraft," he told Modern Express《现代快报》. After his first visit to the school, Wu decided to rebuild it. However, this was not an action that could be done in a day. During his three years in high school, Wu has effectively organized his time. After finishing his homework or exercises, he always walked around the school with a notebook. "I measured all the corners by eyeballing(目测) or counting footsteps. I also drew sketches(草图). When I played the game, I would build the school based on my sketches," he told the Bejing Evening News《北京晚报》. Wu experienced several challenges as he recreated every detail of the school. One of the most difficult challenges was building the gym. At first, he didn't know how to rebuild the shape. Then, Wu learned the conic curve formula(圆锥曲线公式), which was used for the building. His hard work has paid off. Almost all of the scenes of Jinling High School have been rebuilt in the game. The gate, the teaching buildings, the unique corridor with the wisteria(紫藤长廊)- every tree and flower has been exactly rebuilt. The player can visit the classrooms, gyms and office buildings and view the detailed decorations inside. In addition, their school's pet cat can be seen running downstairs in the teaching building just like in real life. "I'm the first one who rebuilt our school in this way. I've cherished(珍惜) the three years I've spent here, and I have learned a lot during the whole process," Wu told Nanjing Daily《南京日报》. 回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过7个词。 87. Which grade is Wu Hele in? ______________________________________ 88. Where did Wu rebuild his school? ______________________________________ 89. How did he measure all the corners in his school? __________________________________ 90. When did Wu decide to rebuild his school? ______________________________________ 91. What do you think of Wu’s recreation of Jinling High School? _________________________ 3、2024·淮安市清江浦区统考·期中卷 根据短文内容，回答问题（每题答案不超过 8 个词）。 For many Chinese people, Lantern Festival, which fell on Feb.15, 2022, marks an end to two weeks of the Lunar (农历) New Year. For folk artist Wang De, it is also the busiest, best time for him to show his craft (手艺) creating molten (熔化的) iron fireworks. Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means “creating tree flowers”, lives in Yuxian County in the city of Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei Province. To create molten iron fireworks, scrap iron (铁屑) is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall to blinding effect. Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year. The folk artist hopes the tradition can bring more visitors to his hometown of Zhangjiakou, which caught international attention. Dashuhua is a traditional form of fireworks show that takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. There are only four people left in China who have mastered (掌握) the ancient practice, and three of them are not young, according to local media reports. Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows. And the high-risk tradition is still only kept for the brave. During a show a few years ago, Wang got serious burns on his leg and it took two months to recover (恢复). Both Wang’s father and grandfather were blacksmiths. “I learned the craft from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty (责任) to pass it on to the next generation (代),” he says. 62. What does dashuhua mean? __________________________ 63. During which festival do Wang and his assistants give dashuhua shows every year? __________________________ 64. Who could afford dashuhua shows in ancient times? __________________________ 65. Are dashuhua shows very dangerous? __________________________ 66. How do you think Wang will pass his craft on to the next generation from the last paragraph? __________________________ 【答案】62. (It means) Creating tree flowers. 63. (During) The Spring Festival. 64. The people with wealth and high social positions. 65. Yes. /Yes, they are. 66. By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“打树花”表演艺人王德的故事。 【62题详解】 根据“Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means ‘creating tree flowers’ ”可知“dashuhua”就是创造树花的意思，故填(It means) Creating tree flowers. 【63题详解】 根据“Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year.”可知春节期间他们打树花表演，故填(During) The Spring Festival. 【64题详解】 根据“In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. ”可知在古代这是那些有钱、社会地位高的人才能负担得起的秀，故填The people with wealth and high social positions. 【65题详解】 根据“Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows.”可知打树花很危险，此处要进行肯定回答。故填Yes. /Yes, they are. 【66题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 4、2024·南京市鼓楼区统考·期中卷 请认真阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用英语回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法 正确、语义切题，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—5的相应横线上。 注意：答案不超过6个单词。 A special exhibition (展览会) titled Life Is a Song–Wan Tongshu and Xinjiang Uygur Muqam Art (木卡姆艺术) was held from August 23 to 27 in Aksu, Xinjiang. Through objects, pictures, sounds and other forms, the exhibition was held to remember Chinese musician Wan Tongshu because he helped protect Uygur Muqam art. The exhibition was divided into two parts: “Wan Tongshu’s life story” and “Protection and inheritance of Xinjiang Uygur Muqam Art.” Xinjiang Uygur Muqam mixes songs, dances and folk and classical music. Of these, the Twelve Muqam is known by the most people, with the largest spreading area and the most complete structure (结构). In the thousands of years of its history, the Uygur Muqam had been passed on by word of mouth which made it difficult to be completely remembered. By the 1940s, there were very few folk artists who could sing the whole Twelve Muqam, and the art form had been brought to the danger of being lost. Government-organized protection work started in 1950. In 1951, Wan Tongshu and his wife went to Xinjiang to help with the collection of Twelve Muqam, and published the collection “Twelve Muqam”. The collection was helpful for the following research and spread. Over the years, experts and scholars (专家学者) have tried hard to protect Xinjiang Uygur Muqam together with local folk artists. For its cultural value, Xinjiang Uygur Muqam art was included as one of UNESCO’s Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (人类口头和非物质遗产代表作) in 2005, and was listed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. 51. When did the exhibition begin? _____________________________________________________ 52. Why was the exhibition held? _____________________________________________________ 53. In history, how was the Uygur Muqam passed on? _____________________________________________________ 54. What kinds of music does the Uygur Muqam include? _____________________________________________________ 55. What did the collection of Twelve Muqam help with? _____________________________________________________ 5、2024·南通市海门区东洲国际学校·期中卷 The Future of Chinese Do you know that one fifth of the planet speaks Chinese now?

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）, which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 81.

Why is India’s population increasing quickly? __________________________________________ 83. What is the labor force participation rate? __________________________________________ 84.

Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. It is one of the most familiar and powerful methods of forming a habit and it’s one of my favorites. Scheduling makes us far more likely to turn an activity into a habit. I schedule even more small habit such as “Kiss my daughter every morning and every night.” Habits grow strongest and farthest when they are repeated in the easiest ways. And for most of us, putting an activity on the schedule means locking us into doing it. So In college and law school, I never asked myself, “Should I go to class?” or “Do I need to do this reading tonight?” If class was scheduled, I went. If reading was on the schedule, I read it. A friend with a daily schedule gets up at 4:30 am, takes a 40-minute walk, eats breakfast with her two sons, showers, dresses and is on the train to work at 7:30. For someone else, any of these activities might be a challenge, but not for her; she’s already decided what to do. Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. Scheduling one activity makes that time unavailable (不能利用) for anything else. Which is good—especially for people who have trouble saying no. Every week, Elisa and I go on a “Wednesday afternoon adventure (探险)” (though we are not that kind of adventurous, and usually end up at the museum). Especially now that Elisa is in her special teenage years, I want to make sure we have some pleasant time together every week. So I put our adventure on the schedule and if I am asked to do anything else, I say automatically (自动的), “I have a plan at that time.” Scheduling makes activities automatic, which builds habits. 54. What is scheduling? _________________________________________ 55. How can scheduling help people form a habit? _________________________________________ 56. Introduce a habit you have kept recently and tell the good points.

Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian lend and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall. In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed ourhomeland, please do not destroy our hope.” Arabs (阿拉伯人) took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War 2, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn’t expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country. After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war (占领) our land?” However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it. Later, conflicts often broke out between the two sides. It’s worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian’s. The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land. The Palestinians received unfair treatment. They were forced to leave their own homes. Most of them can only live in refugee (难民) camps in the Gaza Strip.

The book contains (包含) the name and the picture of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15 -year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David, 16, wanted more than this. They thought, “We don’t really know our classmates from just a picture, so why not have a yearbook online?

My Yearbook users can also make virtual (虚拟的) “Lunch Money” by completing activities on the website. They then give it away to charities (慈善机构) in the my Yearbook “causes” programme, which has sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kilos of rice for people without enough food. Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully.

It’s about to make in 1596-1597. In the play Shakespeare not only speaks highly of love and friendship, but also mirrors the social background of that time. Antonio had a friend named Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his property in a short time. Bassanio fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Antonio for help. Antonio is also a wealthy Venetian merchant but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him, however, he agreed to lend him the money on condition that Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh if he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract (契约). With the money Antonio had borrowed from Shylock, Bassanio married Portia, but unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away from him. Shylock said that he would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away. Finally, Antonio gave up his part of Shylock’s money on condition that Shylock should leave the money to his own daughter and her husband upon his death. The cruel moneylender had to agree. ——Taken from The Merchant of Venice 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 76. What does Shakespeare speak highly of in the play? ________________________________ 77.

While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio. Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!” Antonio agreed.

To offer teenagers helpful career guidance, the students from Tianjin TEDA No.1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72 percent of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader. Based on students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 professionals (专业人士) in different fields and posted their interview son social media. Professionals share true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs more deeply. Team member Lyu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic. But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or damage (损坏) to equipment. They also need to communicate with different people, which is not easy.” But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the professionals’ passion (热情) and persistence (坚持) rather than the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.” 回答下列5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 61.

The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt (不锋利的) one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold-workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板) . “We’re sinking (下沉)! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage (损坏). Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. 76.

How did the passengers feel at first? ______________________________________________________ 78.

I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape after so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually (不经意地) mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat. I put the old one in my closet (壁橱) and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet something upset me. It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold, winter days. After a few weeks I took it out and drove to a local charity (慈善机构). I knew that there someone who couldn’t afford a coat might get my old one. I dropped it off and walked out the door. Then I saw a shivering (瑟瑟发抖的) man in only a thin jacket walking in. I wondered if he would end up in my old coat. Then I smiled and went home with a warm heart. My new coat is old now. It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will wait a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead. Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is to give. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have. May all of your days be full of Warmth! May all of your days be full of Giving! May all of your days be full of Love! 44. 请回答问题。Who bought a new winter coat for the writer? _____________________________________________ 45. 请把文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 _____________________________________________ 46. 请从文中找出与下面所给句子意思相近的句子。 It is in such bad shape that I can’t give it away to charity. _____________________________________________ 47. 请给短文拟一个恰当的英文标题。 _____________________________________________ 48. 请结合自身实际回答问题。How do you usually deal with your old clothes? _____________________________________________ 【答案】44. The writer’s daughter. 45. 然后我笑了笑，带着一颗温暖的心回家了。 46. It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. 47. The best way to deal with our wants is to give. 48. I usually give my old coat to people in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过两件大衣的故事，阐述处理我们欲望的最好方法是捐赠我们自己的东西，你付出的越多，你拥有的东西就越多。 【44题详解】 根据“A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat.”可知作者的女儿买的新大衣。故填The writer’s daughter. 【45题详解】 Then“然后”；smiled“微笑”；went home“回家”；with a warm heart“带着一颗温暖的心”。故填：然后我笑了笑，带着一颗温暖的心回家了。 【46题详解】 It is in such bad shape that I can’t give it away to charity意为“它的状况如此糟糕，我不能把它捐给慈善机构”，和文章中句子“It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity.”意义相近。故填It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. 【47题详解】 本文主要通过两件大衣的故事，阐述处理我们欲望的最好方法是捐赠我们自己的东西，你付出的越多，你拥有的东西就越多，故文章的标题可为The best way to deal with our wants is to give。故填The best way to deal with our wants is to give. 【48题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如：我通常把我的旧大衣给需要的人。故填I usually give my old coat to people in need. 2、2024·南通市启东市统考·期中卷 It's common to play video games as a way to reduce stress. We play games for fun, relaxation and even to kill time. However, one student has found a much more creative way to use video games. Wu Hele, 17, a Senior 3 student from Jinling High School, Nanjing, has been preparing a gift for his high school - a recreation(重建) of his own school in the game Minecraft《我的世界》. It is a game that allows players to design landscapes and buildings in all different types of locations with different materials. For Wu, recreating the school was not just a sudden idea. During Wu's first time visiting the school, he found that it was perfect for rebuilding. "The landscape of the school is regular, and buildings all had a symmetrical, aesthetic feeling, which is suitable for rebuilding with Minecraft," he told Modern Express《现代快报》. After his first visit to the school, Wu decided to rebuild it. However, this was not an action that could be done in a day. During his three years in high school, Wu has effectively organized his time. After finishing his homework or exercises, he always walked around the school with a notebook. "I measured all the corners by eyeballing(目测) or counting footsteps. I also drew sketches(草图). When I played the game, I would build the school based on my sketches," he told the Bejing Evening News《北京晚报》. Wu experienced several challenges as he recreated every detail of the school. One of the most difficult challenges was building the gym. At first, he didn't know how to rebuild the shape. Then, Wu learned the conic curve formula(圆锥曲线公式), which was used for the building. His hard work has paid off. Almost all of the scenes of Jinling High School have been rebuilt in the game. The gate, the teaching buildings, the unique corridor with the wisteria(紫藤长廊)- every tree and flower has been exactly rebuilt. The player can visit the classrooms, gyms and office buildings and view the detailed decorations inside. In addition, their school's pet cat can be seen running downstairs in the teaching building just like in real life. "I'm the first one who rebuilt our school in this way. I've cherished(珍惜) the three years I've spent here, and I have learned a lot during the whole process," Wu told Nanjing Daily《南京日报》. 回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过7个词。 87. Which grade is Wu Hele in? ______________________________________ 88. Where did Wu rebuild his school? ______________________________________ 89. How did he measure all the corners in his school? __________________________________ 90. When did Wu decide to rebuild his school? ______________________________________ 91.

Creative./Wonderful./Interesting. 【解析】 【分析】本文主要讲了南京金陵的高三学生吴和乐通过自己努力和学习在游戏《我的世界》中建造他的学校的故事。 【87题详解】 根据“Wu Hele, 17, a Senior 3 student from Jinling High School”可知，吴和乐是金陵中学的高三学生，故答案是In Senior 3. 【88题详解】 根据“a recreation(重建) of his own school in the game Minecraft《我的世界》”可知，他在游戏《我的世界》建造他的学校，故答案是In the game Minecraft. 【89题详解】 根据“I measured all the corners by eyeballing(目测) or counting footsteps. ”可知，他通过目测或计步测量了所有角落，故答案是By eyeballing or counting footsteps. 【90题详解】 根据“After his first visit to the school, Wu decided to rebuild it. ”可知，第一次参观学校后，吴就决定重建它。故答案是During Wu's first time visiting the school./After his first visit to the school. 91题详解】 本题是开放性题，就“你觉得吴对金陵中学的再创作怎么样?”发表自己的看法，积极向上均可，创作一般都比较有创意，且有趣，故答案是Creative./Wonderful./Interesting.（答案不唯一，可自由发挥） 3、2024·淮安市清江浦区统考·期中卷 根据短文内容，回答问题（每题答案不超过 8 个词）。 For many Chinese people, Lantern Festival, which fell on Feb.15, 2022, marks an end to two weeks of the Lunar (农历) New Year. For folk artist Wang De, it is also the busiest, best time for him to show his craft (手艺) creating molten (熔化的) iron fireworks. Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means “creating tree flowers”, lives in Yuxian County in the city of Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei Province. To create molten iron fireworks, scrap iron (铁屑) is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall to blinding effect. Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year. The folk artist hopes the tradition can bring more visitors to his hometown of Zhangjiakou, which caught international attention. Dashuhua is a traditional form of fireworks show that takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. There are only four people left in China who have mastered (掌握) the ancient practice, and three of them are not young, according to local media reports. Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows. And the high-risk tradition is still only kept for the brave. During a show a few years ago, Wang got serious burns on his leg and it took two months to recover (恢复). Both Wang’s father and grandfather were blacksmiths. “I learned the craft from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty (责任) to pass it on to the next generation (代),” he says. 62. What does dashuhua mean? __________________________ 63. During which festival do Wang and his assistants give dashuhua shows every year? __________________________ 64. Who could afford dashuhua shows in ancient times? __________________________ 65. Are dashuhua shows very dangerous? __________________________ 66. How do you think Wang will pass his craft on to the next generation from the last paragraph? __________________________ 【答案】62. (It means) Creating tree flowers. 63. (During) The Spring Festival. 64. The people with wealth and high social positions. 65. Yes. /Yes, they are. 66. By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“打树花”表演艺人王德的故事。 【62题详解】 根据“Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means ‘creating tree flowers’ ”可知“dashuhua”就是创造树花的意思，故填(It means) Creating tree flowers. 【63题详解】 根据“Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year.”可知春节期间他们打树花表演，故填(During) The Spring Festival. 【64题详解】 根据“In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. ”可知在古代这是那些有钱、社会地位高的人才能负担得起的秀，故填The people with wealth and high social positions. 【65题详解】 根据“Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows.”可知打树花很危险，此处要进行肯定回答。故填Yes. /Yes, they are. 【66题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 4、2024·南京市鼓楼区统考·期中卷 请认真阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用英语回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法 正确、语义切题，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—5的相应横线上。 注意：答案不超过6个单词。 A special exhibition (展览会) titled Life Is a Song–Wan Tongshu and Xinjiang Uygur Muqam Art (木卡姆艺术) was held from August 23 to 27 in Aksu, Xinjiang. Through objects, pictures, sounds and other forms, the exhibition was held to remember Chinese musician Wan Tongshu because he helped protect Uygur Muqam art. The exhibition was divided into two parts: “Wan Tongshu’s life story” and “Protection and inheritance of Xinjiang Uygur Muqam Art.” Xinjiang Uygur Muqam mixes songs, dances and folk and classical music. Of these, the Twelve Muqam is known by the most people, with the largest spreading area and the most complete structure (结构). In the thousands of years of its history, the Uygur Muqam had been passed on by word of mouth which made it difficult to be completely remembered. By the 1940s, there were very few folk artists who could sing the whole Twelve Muqam, and the art form had been brought to the danger of being lost. Government-organized protection work started in 1950. In 1951, Wan Tongshu and his wife went to Xinjiang to help with the collection of Twelve Muqam, and published the collection “Twelve Muqam”. The collection was helpful for the following research and spread. Over the years, experts and scholars (专家学者) have tried hard to protect Xinjiang Uygur Muqam together with local folk artists. For its cultural value, Xinjiang Uygur Muqam art was included as one of UNESCO’s Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (人类口头和非物质遗产代表作) in 2005, and was listed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. 51.

By word of mouth. 54. Songs, dances, folk and classical music. 55. The following research and spread. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了“生命如歌——万桐书与维吾尔木卡姆艺术”专题展，介绍了维吾尔木卡姆艺术以及人们为保护和传承维吾尔族木卡姆艺术所做的努力。 【51题详解】 根据“A special exhibition titled Life Is a Song–Wan Tongshu and Xinjiang Uygur Muqam Art was held from August 23 to 27 in Aksu, Xinjiang.”可知，特展从8月23日至27日在新疆阿克苏举行。故填It began from August 23. 【52题详解】 根据“Through objects, pictures, sounds and other forms, the exhibition was held to remember Chinese musician Wan Tongshu because he helped protect Uygur Muqam art.”可知，这次展览是为了纪念中国音乐家万桐书，因为他帮助保护了维吾尔族木卡姆艺术。故填To remember Chinese musician Wan Tongshu. 【53题详解】 根据“In the thousands of years of its history, the Uygur Muqam had been passed on by word of mouth which made it difficult to be completely remembered.”可知，维吾尔木卡姆在几千年的历史中，一直是口口相传，很难被完全记住。故填By word of mouth. 【54题详解】 根据“Xinjiang Uygur Muqam mixes songs, dances and folk and classical music.”可知，新疆维吾尔木卡姆混合了歌曲、舞蹈、民间音乐和古典音乐。故填Songs, dances, folk and classical music. 【55题详解】 根据“The collection was helpful for the following research and spread.”可知，收集的《十二木卡姆》对后续的研究和传播是有帮助的。故填The following research and spread. 5、2024·南通市海门区东洲国际学校·期中卷 The Future of Chinese Do you know that one fifth of the planet speaks Chinese now?

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）, which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 81. How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year? __________________________________________ 82. Why is India’s population increasing quickly? __________________________________________ 83. What is the labor force participation rate? __________________________________________ 84. What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy? __________________________________________ 85. What do you think of the large population in India? __________________________________________ 【答案】81. Almost 1. 43 billion. 82. Many babies are born in India every year. 83. It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 84. India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 85. It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了印度的人口增长，及其带来的好处与坏处。 【81题详解】 根据第一段“India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s.”可知，印度的人口预计将增长到近14.3亿，故填Almost 1. 43 billion. 【82题详解】 根据第二段“One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year”可知，这种快速增长的主要原因之一是印度每年都有许多婴儿出生，故填Many babies are born in India every year. 【83题详解】 根据“India’s labor force participation rate, which is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population”可知，劳动力参与率就是是劳动年龄人口中活跃劳动力的比例，故填It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 【84题详解】 根据“Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027.”可知，印度将实现前所未有的经济增长，到2027年讲成为世界第三大经济体，故填India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 【85题详解】 根据“Having a big population can be good for the economy”和“However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources like food, healthcare and education for everyone.”可知，人口众多可能对经济有利，但也可能因为没有足够的资源，如食物、医疗保健和教育供每个人使用而成为未来的一个大问题，故填It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. 7、2024·苏州市高新区统考·期中卷 Scheduling (行程安排) attracts many people. Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. It is one of the most familiar and powerful methods of forming a habit and it’s one of my favorites. Scheduling makes us far more likely to turn an activity into a habit. I schedule even more small habit such as “Kiss my daughter every morning and every night.” Habits grow strongest and farthest when they are repeated in the easiest ways. And for most of us, putting an activity on the schedule means locking us into doing it. So In college and law school, I never asked myself, “Should I go to class?” or “Do I need to do this reading tonight?” If class was scheduled, I went. If reading was on the schedule, I read it. A friend with a daily schedule gets up at 4:30 am, takes a 40-minute walk, eats breakfast with her two sons, showers, dresses and is on the train to work at 7:30. For someone else, any of these activities might be a challenge, but not for her; she’s already decided what to do. Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. Scheduling one activity makes that time unavailable (不能利用) for anything else. Which is good—especially for people who have trouble saying no. Every week, Elisa and I go on a “Wednesday afternoon adventure (探险)” (though we are not that kind of adventurous, and usually end up at the museum). Especially now that Elisa is in her special teenage years, I want to make sure we have some pleasant time together every week. So I put our adventure on the schedule and if I am asked to do anything else, I say automatically (自动的), “I have a plan at that time.” Scheduling makes activities automatic, which builds habits. 54. What is scheduling? _________________________________________ 55. How can scheduling help people form a habit? _________________________________________ 56. Introduce a habit you have kept recently and tell the good points. (No less than 15 words) _________________________________________ 【答案】54. Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. 55. Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. 56. Reading. Because reading can help me broaden my horizons, increase my knowledge and help me make friends with people who like reading. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了行程安排的好处。 【54题详解】 根据“Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity.”可知，行程安排意味着为一项活动设定一个详细的、固定的时间。故填Scheduling means setting a detailed, fixed time for an activity. 【55题详解】 根据“Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits.”可知，行程安排可以帮助我们填满每天的时间表，它会把时间表变成习惯。故填Scheduling can help us fill our timetable of the day, and it will turn the timetable into habits. 【56题详解】 本题是开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Reading. Because reading can help me broaden my horizons, increase my knowledge and help me make friends with people who like reading. 8、2024·南通市通州区统考·期中卷 阅读与回答问题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict (巴以冲突) has lasted for some time, as a result, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died.What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back (追溯) more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse. Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian lend and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall. In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed ourhomeland, please do not destroy our hope.” Arabs (阿拉伯人) took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War 2, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn’t expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country. After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war (占领) our land?” However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it.

While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio. Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!” Antonio agreed.

The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt (不锋利的) one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold-workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板) . “We’re sinking (下沉)! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage (损坏). Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. 76. Where did the story take place, in the ocean or on land? _____________________________________________________ 77. How did the passengers feel at first? ______________________________________________________ 78.
