A. where did I often go shopping B. if I could go shopping with him tonight C. whether I like going shopping D. that I planned to go shopping today 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——吉米刚才对你说了什么？——他问我今晚能不能和他一起去购物。 考查宾语从句。本题动词asked后跟宾语从句，因此从句要用陈述句语序，且主句是一般过去时，因此宾语从句也用一般过去时，因此排除A、C；ask后面不能加that从句，因为that从句表示是一个事实。故选B。 三、完形填空（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Days pass by, it seems that daily life will become boring if nothing unexpected happens in our lives.

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to (属于) the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. At the same time, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert (沙漠) where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 29. Rainbow trout live comfortably in ________. A any open water area B. warm and clean rivers C. salty and warm water D. cold and clean rivers 30. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because ________. A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much more delicious B. the sea environment is polluted C. people find a new sea in Xinjiang D. Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood 31. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company ________. ① cleans the water with machines ② grows fish in fixed water areas ③ grows one kind of fish once a year ④ cuts down the fish production (产量) A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 32. Why is Whiteleg shrimp introduced in the article? A. To show the importance of rivers to a country. B. To introduce the safety of eating seafood. C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp. D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. A 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了新疆和内蒙古地“海鲜”很受欢迎，并且介绍了虹鳟鱼和南美白对虾的养殖方法。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a ‘comfortable’ home for fish”可知，虹鳟鱼生活在干净寒冷的水中。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But recently, the ‘seafood’ produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water into the sea”可知，由于日本的核污染水，很多人开始注意到了新疆的海鲜。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment”可知，公司为了防止水污染，在水中用机器清理鱼产生的垃圾，还用环保的鱼笼固定了鱼的养殖范围，因此①②正确。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scientists then decided to create ‘seawater’ with the salty water by adding in some other components. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea”可知，举南美白对虾的例子是为了展示不在海洋中养殖的海鲜。故选D。 C On April 19th, a pottery (陶器) exhibition was held at Wuhan Optical Valley Experimental School. Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students. At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces. “Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people,” the school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.” Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn’t know how to paint. In March, the school held a pottery painting competition. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it. Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall. It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read. 33. According to the passage, ________ were encouraged to paint the pottery. A. the students who painted very well B. the students who didn’t get good grades C. the students who didn’t know how to paint D. all the students in the school 34. By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways EXCEPT ________.

We can’t find some colored pottery in some of their classrooms. D. The students enjoy resting and reading at the art corners. 36. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage? A. Sports news. B. Traditional art. C. Healthy living. D. Popular music. 【答案】33. D 34. A 35. D 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了学校鼓励学生在陶器上画画，把一些废弃的陶器变成了艺术品。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery...”可知，学生们被鼓励在陶器上画画，故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways...put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.”可知，通过陶艺绘画，学生们可以更好地了解陶器的历史，把他们的创造力融入陶器中，并表现出对生活和美的热爱，而不会知道如何去做陶器。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall. It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read.”可知，学生们喜欢在艺术角休息和阅读。故选D。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。阅读全文可知，本文主要讲述了学校鼓励学生在陶器上画画，把一些废弃的陶器变成了艺术品，锻炼了学生的能力，因此来自报纸的传统艺术部分，故选B。 D We chased the monster all day, traveling four hundred kilometers, but it did not tire. That night, the monster lit up again. We let the ship quietly float closer and closer, until at last Ned Land could throw his harpoon. It hit the monster, and the light went out. Then, there was a huge crash, and I (Dr. Aronnax) was thrown into the sea. I sank into the water but soon came back to the surface. I could see the ship, but it was already a long way from me. I swam toward it, calling out, “Help!” My clothes were heavy in the water, and I began to sink. Suddenly, I felt a hand take me back to the surface again. It was Conseil. “Were you thrown into the water, too?” I asked. “No. I just followed you.” He was a very faithful servant. He had a knife, and we cut our clothes off and then tried to swim toward the ship. It went further away from us. Perhaps the collision had damaged its steering. We swam for two hours, calling out all the time. At last, we heard another voice and swam to ward it. Just as I thought I would drown, we were pulled out of the water by a tall, strong man. It was Ned Land! He was standing on the monster! “My harpoon could not hurt this monster,” he said. “It is made of steel!” This was true. I realized that I had been wrong. This was not a giant narwhal (独角鲸). It was a submarine! I could not understand how anybody could have built it, but I could not doubt that it was real. The submarine began to move. We were worried that it might dive. It moved faster and faster. We held on to an iron ring that Ned saw. As it sped through the night, I wondered how it could move so fast. What kind of engine did it have? What kind of people were inside it? When morning came, it began to sink. Ned banged on the steel. “Open up!” he shouted angrily. The sinking stopped. We heard a noise, and one of the steel plates opened. A man came out and saw us. He was very surprised and went back into the submarine. A few seconds later, eight men came out and pulled us into the submarine. 37. What was the monster? A. A harpoon. B. A submarine. C. A narwhal. D. A ship. 38. How did Conseil get into the sea? A. He was thrown into the sea by crash. B. He was thrown into the sea by the monster. C. He followed Dr. Aronnax into the sea. D. He followed Ned Land into the sea. 39. Why couldn’t Ned Land harpoon the monster? A. It was made of steel. B. It was sinking quickly. C. He was too tired and weak. D. He couldn’t see it clearly. 40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Dr. Aronnax couldn’t swim and sank into the water. B. The ship didn’t want to take Dr. Aronnax and went further. C.

Do you have free time in the afternoon? We need a babysitter for our son. He is five years old. Hours are 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Sometimes you have to work on the weekend. Pay is $10 each hour. For the job, you will: Watch my son. Read to him. Play with him. You will work at our house. We live in Fourth Road, near Fashion Clothes Store. Please call Heather on 0423-498892. 26. What will the babysitter do according to the advertisement? A. Work in the morning B. Take care of a 5-year-old girl C. Never work at weekends D. Look after the baby at the master’s home 27. If the babysitter works for a week, how much will he get at most? A. $210. B. $150. C. $50. D. $10. 28. The above advertisement is most probably taken from a (an)________. A. game website B. daily newspaper C. travel guidebook D. science magazine B When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to (属于) the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. At the same time, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert (沙漠) where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 29. Rainbow trout live comfortably in ________. A. any open water area B. warm and clean rivers C. salty and warm water D. cold and clean rivers 30. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because ________. A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much more delicious B. the sea environment is polluted C. people find a new sea in Xinjiang D. Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood 31. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company ________. ① cleans the water with machines ② grows fish in fixed water areas ③ grows one kind of fish once a year ④ cuts down the fish production (产量) A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 32. Why is Whiteleg shrimp introduced in the article? A. To show the importance of rivers to a country. B. To introduce the safety of eating seafood. C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp. D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea. C On April 19th, a pottery (陶器) exhibition was held at Wuhan Optical Valley Experimental School. Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students. At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So far, they have collected about 3,000 pieces. “Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people,” the school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. They can better understand the history of the pottery, put their creativity into the pottery and show the love for life and beauty.” Students turned the pottery into different works of art. They were all encouraged to paint pictures on the pottery, even though some students didn’t know how to paint. In March, the school held a pottery painting competition. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it. Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art corners to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall. It has become an enjoyable place for students to rest and read. 33. According to the passage, ________ were encouraged to paint the pottery. A. the students who painted very well B. the students who didn’t get good grades C. the students who didn’t know how to paint D. all the students in the school 34.

We let the ship quietly float closer and closer, until at last Ned Land could throw his harpoon. It hit the monster, and the light went out. Then, there was a huge crash, and I (Dr. Aronnax) was thrown into the sea. I sank into the water but soon came back to the surface. I could see the ship, but it was already a long way from me. I swam toward it, calling out, “Help!” My clothes were heavy in the water, and I began to sink. Suddenly, I felt a hand take me back to the surface again. It was Conseil. “Were you thrown into the water, too?” I asked. “No. I just followed you.” He was a very faithful servant. He had a knife, and we cut our clothes off and then tried to swim toward the ship. It went further away from us. Perhaps the collision had damaged its steering. We swam for two hours, calling out all the time. At last, we heard another voice and swam to ward it. Just as I thought I would drown, we were pulled out of the water by a tall, strong man. It was Ned Land! He was standing on the monster! “My harpoon could not hurt this monster,” he said. “It is made of steel!” This was true. I realized that I had been wrong. This was not a giant narwhal (独角鲸). It was a submarine! I could not understand how anybody could have built it, but I could not doubt that it was real. The submarine began to move. We were worried that it might dive. It moved faster and faster. We held on to an iron ring that Ned saw. As it sped through the night, I wondered how it could move so fast. What kind of engine did it have? What kind of people were inside it? When morning came, it began to sink. Ned banged on the steel. “Open up!” he shouted angrily. The sinking stopped. We heard a noise, and one of the steel plates opened. A man came out and saw us. He was very surprised and went back into the submarine. A few seconds later, eight men came out and pulled us into the submarine. 37. What was the monster? A. A harpoon. B. A submarine. C. A narwhal. D. A ship. 38. How did Conseil get into the sea? A.
