I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students. Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates. One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said. Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me. 4.

What can we learn from the passage? A. The author came from a poor family. B. The teacher sang a song to the author. C. The author never forgets what the teacher said. D. The author no longer cared for anybody but herself. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者刚进入新学校时的不适应以及在新学校受到老师鼓励的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened.( 当我走进小学时，我低头看了看我的新黑鞋。我站在布莱克斯通夫人的门口。在我试图逃跑之前，门开了)”和第二段中“Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend.(在接下来的几天里，布莱克斯通夫人为我找了一个新的好朋友)”可推知，作者是第一次去上学，很可能是因为对新环境不适应，所以不情愿。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings?( 一个春天的下午，布莱克斯通夫人让我课后留下来。“我想和你谈谈，阿曼达。”我思绪万千。我的分数很低吗？我伤了别人的感情吗？)”可知，当作者被要求课后留下来时，她不知道为什么被留下来，以为是自己犯了错误，心里感到很紧张。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.( 她继续说：“我看到你身上有特别的东西。你与人交流的方式，以及你表现出的善良——我认为你有很大的潜力成为重要的人物。”我仔细听了每一个字。“我当老师已经二十多年了；我看得出来。但你必须相信自己。这非常重要。记住这一点，你就会走得很远，”她说)”可知，布莱克斯通夫人和作者谈话是为了鼓励作者相信自己。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Years later, her words still remain inside of me.( 多年后，她的话仍然留在我的心里)”可知，作者从未忘记老师说的话。故选C项。 C As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now! With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you. Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world. It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again. You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely! 8. As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are _________. A. a period of complete freedom B. too hard for young people to get through C. an important time for the young to make the right choices D. a very important period for young students to leave their parents 9.

The best title for this passage would be “_________”. A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success C. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult 11. Who is the passage mainly intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Teachers. C. Young parents. D. Adults. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了少年时光过得很快，经历很多；成年早期意味着较多的自由和较多的选择，要正确做出选择，这样才能取得成功，并向青少年介绍了一些如何让自己在这一人生阶段表现得更好的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. (有了更多的责任，你就会有更多的自由来做自己的选择。这是一个充分了解你的选择的时候，这样你就可以做出健康平衡的决定，这将有助于塑造你的未来。)”可知就作者而言，青少年时期是年轻人做出正确选择的重要时刻。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again. (有些人会陪伴你走过人生的旅程，也有些人会与你分道扬镳。离开学校可能很难。现实情况是，你可能再也见不到所有的同学了。)”可知，离开学校你可能再也见不到所有的同学了，所以这里的some people指的是“你的同学”。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文可知，尤其第一段“As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now! (当你在青少年时期快速成长时，你会经历很多变化。 这些变化可能看起来很困难，但似乎发生得很快。别慌!你会成功地对付他们的！你现在是一个年轻人了! )”可知文章讲述的是如何成功地应付青少年这一阶段，成为一个真正的成年人，所以D项“做一个年轻的成年人”最能体现文章的中心思想。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，尤其第一段“As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now! (当你在青少年时期快速成长时，你会经历很多变化。 这些变化可能看起来很困难，但似乎发生得很快。别慌!你会成功地对付他们的！你现在是一个年轻人了! )”可知文章讲述的是如何成功地应付青少年这一阶段，成为一个真正的成年人，故推断这篇文章是写给青少年的。故选A。 D The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely. The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use. Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ” “I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.” “It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide. Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.” 12. What is the purpose of the project? A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged. C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare. 13. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier? A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement. C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality. 14. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7? A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate. 15. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs? A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative. C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况的项目。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing (该项目由当地一家慈善机构构想，旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况。)”可知，这个项目的目的是为了减少孤独和提高老年人的幸福感。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” (有不同的关注点很好。人们把自己的孩子带进来看母鸡，居民们也来外面坐着看它们。我喜欢创造性的活动，做一些有用的事情的感觉很好。)”可知，Ruth Xavier很享受做这些事，她觉得自己在做有用的事，这能够给她来良好的感觉，因此可知通过该项目她获得了一种成就感。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” (彭福街60号的额外护理经理Wendy Wilson是第一批参与该项目的人之一，她说：“居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。”)”可知，Wendy Wilson是着手这项工程的人之一，也是做这个项目的创始人之一，因此可知，画线处embark on意为“开始着手做某事”，与C项“Begin (开始)”含义相近。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。)”以及最后一段“Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.” (“诺丁山路径”的负责人林恩·刘易斯说：“我们很高兴能参与这个项目。它将通过共同的兴趣和创造性活动真正帮助我们的居民联系起来。”)”可知，该项目得到了居民们的认可，大家很欢迎这个项目，而且这个项目将会带来一些好处，因此可知这个项目的反响很好，很受欢迎。故选A项。 【点睛】 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Adjust to a New School You might worry that you don’t know anyone.

You worry that you might get lost, or if the teachers are strict.(当你去一所新学校时，你可能会担心你不认识任何人。你担心你可能会迷路，或者如果老师很严格怎么办。)”可知，此处是指适应新学校可能会很难，所以选项F“但适应一所新学校可能会很困难”切合文意。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school. Find out where your classroom will be, as well as other important places.(在你开始上学之前，和你的父母一起去参观学校。找出你的教室，以及其他重要的地方。)”可知，此处是指在开始上学前先熟悉新学校，所以选项C“了解学校”切合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Being well rested will help you remove (去除) any nervousness you may be feeling.

It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house. Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled. Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy. One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said. “You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?” “It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice. “Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day. “No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house. Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 It was late in the evening when she got home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abe’s eyes became very wide. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible answer It was late in the evening when she got home. The whole family was waiting for her. It was still snowing hard outside. Seeing the white frost on his stepmother’s face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently. Dinner was ready and Abe’s brothers and sisters went to lay the table. But Mrs. Lincoln was not in a hurry. She carefully took out a package from her bag and started to unwrap it. Abe’s eyes became very wide. He fixed his eyes upon the package and watched eagerly. As Mrs. Lincoln tore the package open, a book suddenly came into sight. Little Abe couldn’t help crying out in joy! He ran to get it and found it was an old story book. He couldn’t wait one more minute and began to read it. Soon, he was so absorbed in reading the book that he totally forgot the meal on the table. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Abe是一个喜爱阅读的小男孩，但是他不得不在农场上帮父亲做事，并且没有书读，他感到很不开心。Abe的继母注意到了这些，冒着风雪出去给他买了一本书回来。Abe非常高兴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她到家时已经很晚了。”可知，第一段可描写全家人都在等待继母，继母给Abe带回了一个包裹。 ②由第二段首句内容“Abe的眼睛睁得大大的。”可知，第二段可描写继母给Abe带回来的是一本书，Abe非常高兴。 2.续写线索： 等待——体贴——吃饭——拆包裹——送书——激动——读书 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②打开：unwrap/unfold ③发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①渴望地：eagerly/longingly ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing the white frost on his stepmother’s face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently.

I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students. Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates. One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said. Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me. 4.

The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now! With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you. Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world. It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again. You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely! 8. As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are _________. A. a period of complete freedom B. too hard for young people to get through C. an important time for the young to make the right choices D. a very important period for young students to leave their parents 9.

The best title for this passage would be “_________”. A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success C. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult 11. Who is the passage mainly intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Teachers. C. Young parents. D. Adults. D The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely. The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use. Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ” “I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.” “It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide. Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.” 12. What is the purpose of the project? A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged. C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare. 13. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier? A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement. C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality. 14. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7? A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate. 15. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs? A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative. C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Adjust to a New School You might worry that you don’t know anyone.

It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house. Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled. Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy. One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said. “You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?” “It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice. “Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day. “No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house. Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 It was late in the evening when she got home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abe’s eyes became very wide. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CABAC 6—10 BCBCC 11—15 CACAB 16—20 AABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
