The woman finally drove the beetle away from her jacket, but it flew to rest on another woman’s dress. Like the first woman, the second woman screamed and shook her dress. Then the beetle fell upon a boy’s sweater. But the boy reacted (反应) differently. He stood still (静止的), kept quiet, and carefully looked at the beetle. He then slowly took up a piece of paper from a table. When he thought that the time was right for action, he quickly covered the beetle with the paper, caught it, and threw it out of the restaurant.

The two women just tried to shake the beetle off of their clothes. They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others.

He came back to the bank ___66___ (sad) . And he seemed to be wondering why. There was a group of people ___67___ (stand) on the bank of the river. One of them said, “The boat has moved, but the sword hasn’t. How foolish you are!” You should consider (考虑) possible changes when you try to solve a problem, for things ___68___ (be) maybe quite different. 【答案】59. dropped 60. but 61. knives 62. useful 63. a 64. into 65. his 66. sadly 67. standing 68. are 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇寓言。文章主要讲述了刻舟求剑的寓言故事。 【59题详解】 句意：但是他把他的剑掉到河里了。根据前文的“Once upon a time, a man was crossing a river by boat.”可知，这篇文章主要讲述的是一个从前发生的故事。所以，此处需用一般过去时。drop“掉下”的过去式形式dropped符合语境。故填dropped。 【60题详解】 句意：那个男人似乎有点儿悲伤，但他没有立刻跳入河水中寻找他的剑。根据“The man seemed a bit sad”和“he didn’t jump into the water at once to look for his sword.”可知，这两个分句之间为转折关系，所以，but“但是”符合语境。故填but。 【61题详解】 句意：取而代之的是，他拿出其中一把刀，并且在船边上做了一个记号。根据空前的“one of”可知，此处需填入名词复数。knife“刀”的复数形式knives符合语境。故填knives。 【62题详解】 句意：那有用吗？分析句子结构可知，“that”为问句的主语，“Is”为问句的系动词，所以，此处需填入形容词作表语，此处表达“有用的”，use的形容词形式useful“有用的”符合语境。故填useful。 【63题详解】 句意：过了一会儿，这条船到了河的另一边。此处“while”表“一段时间，一会儿”，为可数名词，而可数名词单数不可单独使用，前面需接冠词；又因此处表泛指，且while为辅音音素开头的单词，所以，不定冠词a符合语境。故填a。 【64题详解】 句意：那个男人快速地下船，并且跳进水里。根据后文的“He tried to look for his sword according to (按照) the mark he first made on the boat.”可知，这个男人努力根据标记寻找他的剑。由此可推知，男人快速下船，跳进水里寻找剑。所以，into“进入”符合语境。故填into。 【65题详解】 句意：然而，那个男人没有找到他的剑。根据空前的“find”可知，此处需填入形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词“sword”构成短语，he的形容词性物主代词his“他的”符合语境。故填his。 【66题详解】 句意：他伤心地回到岸边。分析句子结构可知，此处需填入副词修饰动词“came”，所以，sad的副词形式sadly“悲伤地”符合语境。故填sadly。 【67题详解】 句意：有一群人站在河岸边。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语“was”，所以，此处需填入非谓语动词，修饰“people”。又因“people”和“stand”之间为主动关系，“stand”和谓语动词为同时进行的关系，所以，此处需用现在分词，stand“站立”的现在分词形式standing符合语境。故填standing。 【68题详解】 句意：当你试图解决一个问题时，你应该考虑可能的改变，因为事情可能会大不相同。根据“ You should consider (考虑) possible changes when you try to solve a problem, for things...maybe quite different.”可知，此处描述的是一个客观真理，所以，时态应用一般现在时；又因“things”为复数概念，所以，be动词的复数形式are符合语境。故填are。 七、阅读表达（共5小题，满分10分） 阅读短文，回答以下问题。 “Be yourself.” You may often hear people say this to you, but you’re not really sure what it means. In fact, being yourself means being true to yourself. There’s no need for you to try to be someone else and you shouldn’t worry about what others think of you. Then, what can you do to be yourself? Get to know yourself. To be yourself, though, you have to learn about yourself. You have to learn who you are, what matters to you and what you believe (and don’t believe) in. Please (使… 高兴) yourself. Doing things to please others is nice, but it shouldn’t be your first priority (首要任务). If you always want others pleased, you will forget about yourself and what you really want. So, if you find yourself doing this, ask yourself why. Don’t always go along with the crowd (大众) , but stop to ask yourself if this is right for you. Learn to love yourself. This is important because nobody can love you as much as you can love yourself. Loving yourself means loving everything in you, your voice, your looks and even your mistakes. Remember, you don’t have to be the same as anyone else. 69. In the writer’s opinion, what does being yourself mean? _________________________________________________________________ 70. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? _________________________________________________________________ 71. What will happen if a man always does things to please others? _________________________________________________________________ 72. Why is it important to learn to love yourself? _________________________________________________________________ 73. What’s the best title (标题) for the passage? _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】69. It means being true to yourself. 70. It’s mainly about learning about yourself. /Getting to know yourself. 71. He/ She will forget about himself/herself and what he/she wants. 72. Because nobody can love us as much as we can love ourselves. 73. How to be yourself. /Be yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何做自己。 【69题详解】 根据第一段中“In fact, being yourself means being true to yourself.”可知，其实做自己就是做真实的自己。故填It means being true to yourself. 【70题详解】 根据第二段内容“Get to know yourself. To be yourself, though, you have to learn about yourself. You have to learn who you are, what matters to you and what you believe (and don’t believe) in.”可知，第二段主要讲述了了解你自己。故填It’s mainly about learning about yourself. /Getting to know yourself. 【71题详解】 根据第三段中“If you always want others pleased, you will forget about yourself and what you really want.”可知，如果一个人总是想让别人高兴，他会忘记他自己和他真正想要的。故填He/ She will forget about himself/herself and what he/she wants. 【72题详解】 根据最后一段中“Learn to love yourself. This is important because nobody can love you as much as you can love yourself.”可知，学会爱自己。这很重要，因为没有人能像我们爱自己一样爱我们自己。故填Because nobody can love us as much as we can love ourselves. 【73题详解】 根据通读全文，尤其第一段中“‘Be yourself.’…Then, what can you do to be yourself?”可知，本文主要讲述了如何做自己。故填How to be yourself. /Be yourself. 八、完成句子（每小题2分，共6分） 74. The boys were playing basketball at that time. (对划线部分提问) _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】What were the boys doing at the time? 【解析】 【详解】句意：那时男孩子们正在打篮球。根据原句及汉语提示可知，被划线部分的意思是“打篮球”，对其提问，用特殊疑问词what“什么”，问句时态为过去进行时，其构成为：was/were+doing；the boys，主语，助动词应为were；at the time“在那时”，作句子的时间状语。故填What were the boys doing at the time? 75. 起初，她对英语不感兴趣。 _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At first, she isn’t interested in English. 【解析】 【详解】该句陈述事实，应该用一般现在时，at first“起初”，为副词短语；she“她”；be not interested in“对……不感兴趣”，be动词填is；English“英语”。故填At first, she isn’t interested in English. 76. 我一到那里就给你打电话。 _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I’ll call you as soon as I get there./As soon as I get there, I’ll call you. 【解析】 【详解】分析句子，该句可以用as soon as“一……就”引导时间状语从句，应该遵循“主将从现”原则。主句是：I’ll“我将”，call you“给你打电话”；从句：I“我”；get there“到那里”。故填I’ll call you as soon as I get there./As soon as I get there, I’ll call you. 九、书面表达（共18分） 77. 你校正在开展主题为“我爱做家务”的英语演讲比赛，请你根据以下提示，用英语写一篇演讲稿，参加此次活动。 我爱做家务 我为什么爱做家务 我的一次做家务经历 我的感受 要求：1. 演讲稿应包含以上内容提示，可适当发挥。 2. 不少于100词，开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Hello everyone.

I will organize my time better and learn to manage (管理) my money. So what do you think? I’m ready to start right now! Love, Gabby Dear Gabby, You’re old enough to start doing chores. But Dad and I won’t pay you. No one pays us to do chores. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and tidy. Sometimes we do jobs not for a reward (回报), but because it is our responsibility (责任) to do so. In fact, you will get a reward for doing chores—smiles from both your dad and me. Love, Mom 31.

The woman finally drove the beetle away from her jacket, but it flew to rest on another woman’s dress. Like the first woman, the second woman screamed and shook her dress. Then the beetle fell upon a boy’s sweater. But the boy reacted (反应) differently. He stood still (静止的), kept quiet, and carefully looked at the beetle.

I was having my lunch at the restaurant. A few thoughts came to my mind after seeing it all. The three people reacted differently to the beetle and had different results in the end. The two women just tried to shake the beetle off of their clothes. They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others. The boy did something different and solved the problem once and for all. I didn’t mean that the two women did something wrong. I just meant that the boy did better. 36.
