FFL has played an important part in putting forward STEM education (教育) in China and developing students’ creativity (创造力). ________________ Growing up in a small town in Gansu province, 12-year-old schoolgirl Liao Wenting was surprised to find that the high-tech products (高科技产品) that she saw in films could be within arms’ reach. Her school has built a high-tech-empowered classroom. In the classroom, students can explore their creativity and turn their ideas into reality. The classroom features multimedia teaching systems (多媒体教学), 3D printing and other high-tech gadgets (小装置). Robot Competition Aims to Interest Youth A youth robot (机器人) competition held by the China Soong Ching Ling Science and Culture Center, began on Tuesday in Beijing.

He listened for a moment but he could not hear anything at all. However, there was smoke coming from the chimney (烟囱) and there was a light on in the front room? “Why is it so quiet? Is it a trap (圈套)? Are the police waiting for me in there?” he asked himself. He went to the front door and pushed it. To his surprise, it was open! He went in very quietly. In the front room there was a fire burning in the fireplace. The room was clean, small and very warm. There was very little furniture in it. There were also some photos on the shelf above the fire. They were yellow and old. Suddenly Coke froze. There was someone else in the room. He knew it. He could feel it! He turned around quickly and, at the same time, put his hand on his pocket. There was a small knife there. He saw an old woman. She had a covered dish in her hands and there was a sweet smell of meat and vegetables coming from it. She did not look afraid. She did not even look surprised. “I’m sorry.” She said, and put the dish down on the table. Coke could hardly believe his ears. Here he was, a stranger in her house and yet she said she was sorry! “I’m sorry.” She said again. “I didn’t hear you. People often come to the door and knock, but I don’t hear them. I’m glad you came in.” 56. When Coke reached the house, he didn’t go into it at once because ________.

A. she thought she didn’t hear Coke knock at the door B. she couldn’t remember Coke’s name C. she didn’t prepare dinner for Coke D. she had so little furniture in the house 60. From the passage we can infer (推断) that Coke ________. A. knew the woman B. wanted to kill the woman C. was the woman’s son D. was a man the police were looking for C ① The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented (发明) thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. ② It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the Kingdom of Qin, improved (改进) the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to write reports to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. ③ One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” ④ On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed (失望) that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. ⑤ However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded (成功) at last. ⑥ Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese Culture. 61. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A. Because the king asked him to do so. B. Because he wanted to be an inventor. C. Because the pen brought him much trouble. D. Because he didn’t have silk to write on. 62. When did Meng think of the good idea in Paragraph 3 A. Before hunting animals. B. When he saw the trail. C. During cleaning the hair. D. After he wrote a report. 63. Which is the right order of improving the brush pen? a. The brush pen could write well. b. Meng tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. c. The special water washed the oil away. d. Meng dropped the stick into a stone hole. e. Meng came up with a new idea on the way home after hunting. A. e-b-d-c-a B. d-b-a-c-e C. e-b-d-a-c D. d-b-c-a-e 64. How can the students understand Chinese culture better according to the passage? A. By learning to use brush pens. B. By inventing new things. C. By making pens with animals’ hair. D. By planting more bamboo. 65. What can we learn from the passage? A. Learn from animals. B. Value wonderful memories. C. Think twice before taking action. D. Keep trying and never give up. D ①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans. ②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea. ③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part, because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island. ④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future? ⑤Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 66. According to the passage, we know many animals ________. A. can tell the future in different ways B. have better sense abilities than humans C. act strangely after some natural disasters D. use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes 67. The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. actions B. senses C. ideas D. feelings 68. How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four D. Five. 69. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Animals are good at helping farmers. B. Animals are good at finding their homes. C. Animals seem to know the future problems. D. Animals seem to know the weather changes. 70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Can Animals Predict the Future? B. Do Animals Have Stronger Senses? C. How Do Animals Save People’s Life? D. What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future? 第II卷 非选择题（共60分） 五、（本题共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分15分） 任务型阅读 A Cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating (漂浮) in the sky. There are many kinds of cloud. Clouds are very important to Earth’s weather. The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you can’t see the water. The drops of water are too small to see. They have turned into a gas called water vapor (水蒸气). As the water vapor goes high in the sky, the air goes cool. The cooler air causes the water droplets (微滴) to stick to things like dust (粉尘), ice or sea salt. Clouds get their names in two ways. One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth’s surface. In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds. Another way clouds are named is by their shape. Cirrus clouds (卷云) are high clouds. They look like feathers. Cumulus clouds (积雨云) are middle clouds. These clouds (层云) look like giant cotton balls in the sky. Stratus clouds are low clouds. They cover the sky like bed sheets. Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets. The droplets are not heavy so they can float in the air. Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets. Then they turn into larger drops (水珠). When that happens, gravity (重力) causes them to fall to the Earth. We call the falling water drops rain. When the air is colder, the water may form (形成) snowflakes instead. Clouds are important in our daily life. At night, clouds reflect (反射) heat and keep the ground warmer. During the day, clouds make shade that can keep us cooler. Studying clouds helps people have a better understanding of Earth’s weather. What Are Clouds? Introduction Clouds are of great ___71___ importance to Earth’s weather. Ways of forming clouds Small drops of water turn into a gas called water vapor. As the water vapor ___72___ in the sky, the air goes cool. The cooler air finally causes the small water drops to form clouds. ___73___ of clouds High clouds, middle clouds and low clouds get their names through their ___74___. When lots of low clouds touch the ground, the weather will be ___75___. According to their shape, clouds also have three names. Cirrus clouds look like feathers while stratus clouds are like bed sheets. Those like giant cotton balls are called Cumulus clouds. Different forms Small and ___76___ droplets float in the air. If they join with each other, they will turn into larger drops. Gravity makes larger drops fall down to Earth. Then larger drops turn into falling water drops called ___77___. When the temperature in the air gets ___78___ snowflakes may form. ___79___ for studying clouds Clouds can cause rain, snow and so on. Clouds are important for people’s daily life.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. ② It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the Kingdom of Qin, improved (改进) the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to write reports to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. ③ One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” ④ On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed (失望) that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. ⑤ However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded (成功) at last. ⑥ Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese Culture. 61. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A. Because the king asked him to do so. B. Because he wanted to be an inventor. C. Because the pen brought him much trouble. D. Because he didn’t have silk to write on. 62. When did Meng think of the good idea in Paragraph 3 A. Before hunting animals. B. When he saw the trail. C. During cleaning the hair. D. After he wrote a report. 63. Which is the right order of improving the brush pen? a. The brush pen could write well. b. Meng tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. c. The special water washed the oil away. d. Meng dropped the stick into a stone hole. e. Meng came up with a new idea on the way home after hunting. A. e-b-d-c-a B. d-b-a-c-e C. e-b-d-a-c D. d-b-c-a-e 64. How can the students understand Chinese culture better according to the passage? A. By learning to use brush pens. B. By inventing new things. C. By making pens with animals’ hair. D. By planting more bamboo. 65. What can we learn from the passage? A Learn from animals. B. Value wonderful memories. C. Think twice before taking action. D. Keep trying and never give up. 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. A 64. A 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了中国古代“文房四宝”之一的毛笔的发明和改进过程，以及它在中国文化中的重要地位。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.”可知，孟天想要改进笔是因为它太硬，给他带来了很多麻烦。故选C。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits... Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it...”可知，孟天是在看到兔子尾巴留下的痕迹后，想到了改进笔的好主意。故选B。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time... The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair.”可知，我们可以梳理出孟天改进毛笔的过程：首先，他在打猎回家的路上想到了一个新主意（e）；然后，他把兔子的毛绑在棍子上（b）；接着，他失望地把“发明”扔进了院子里的一个石洞里（d）；后来，他发现石洞里的“发明”变胖了，拿起来一试，发现毛笔在丝绸上写得很漂亮，原来是因为特殊的水把头发上的油洗掉了（c）；最后，毛笔写得很好（a）。因此，正确的顺序是e-b-d-c-a，故选A。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese Culture.”可知，学生通过学习使用毛笔，可以更好地理解中国文化。故选A。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time.”可知，文章的主旨是强调不断尝试和永不放弃的精神。故选D。 D ①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans. ②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea. ③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part, because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island. ④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future? ⑤Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 66. According to the passage, we know many animals ________. A. can tell the future in different ways B. have better sense abilities than humans C. act strangely after some natural disasters D. use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes 67. The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. actions B. senses C. ideas D. feelings 68. How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four D. Five. 69. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Animals are good at helping farmers. B. Animals are good at finding their homes. C. Animals seem to know the future problems. D. Animals seem to know the weather changes. 70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Can Animals Predict the Future? B. Do Animals Have Stronger Senses? C How Do Animals Save People’s Life? D. What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future? 【答案】66. B 67. A 68. B 69. D 70. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讨论了动物是否能够预知未来，尤其是否能够预测自然灾害。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.”可知，动物的感官比人类要灵敏。故选B。 【67题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.”可知，人们是根据动物的奇怪行为，预测到了灾难，因此behaviours意为“行为”。故选A。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece.” “In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government.” “In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange.…Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.”可知，第三段中列举了三个例子：希利克的地震、海城的地震、以及斯里兰卡的海啸。故选B。 【69题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen.”可知，这一段主要在讲动物可以感知到天气的微妙变化。故选D。 【70题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了动物是否能够预知未来，尤其是否能够预测自然灾害。选项A“动物可以预知未来吗？”符合主旨。故选A。 第II卷 非选择题（共60分） 五、（本题共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分15分） 任务型阅读 A Cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating (漂浮) in the sky. There are many kinds of cloud. Clouds are very important to Earth’s weather. The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you can’t see the water. The drops of water are too small to see. They have turned into a gas called water vapor (水蒸气). As the water vapor goes high in the sky, the air goes cool. The cooler air causes the water droplets (微滴) to stick to things like dust (粉尘), ice or sea salt. Clouds get their names in two ways. One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth’s surface. In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds. Another way clouds are named is by their shape. Cirrus clouds (卷云) are high clouds. They look like feathers. Cumulus clouds (积雨云) are middle clouds. These clouds (层云) look like giant cotton balls in the sky. Stratus clouds are low clouds. They cover the sky like bed sheets. Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets. The droplets are not heavy so they can float in the air. Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets. Then they turn into larger drops (水珠). When that happens, gravity (重力) causes them to fall to the Earth. We call the falling water drops rain. When the air is colder, the water may form (形成) snowflakes instead. Clouds are important in our daily life. At night, clouds reflect (反射) heat and keep the ground warmer. During the day, clouds make shade that can keep us cooler. Studying clouds helps people have a better understanding of Earth’s weather. What Are Clouds? Introduction Clouds are of great ___71___ importance to Earth’s weather. Ways of forming clouds Small drops of water turn into a gas called water vapor.

One way is by where they are found in the sky.”和“Another way clouds are named is by their shape.”可知，此处指云的名字/种类；name“名字”/type (kind)“种类”，名词要用复数，且首字母大写。故填Names/Types/Kinds。 【74题详解】 根据“Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth’s surface. In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds.”可知，高云、中云和低云因其位置/高度而得名。place“地方”/height“高度”，名词，用复数表示泛指。故填places/heights。 【75题详解】 根据“In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog.”可知，当大量低云接触地面时，天气就会有雾；foggy“多雾的”，形容词作表语。故填foggy。 【76题详解】 根据“Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets. The droplets are not heavy so they can float in the air. ”可知，小而轻的水滴漂浮在空气中。light“轻的”，作定语，修饰名词。故填light。 【77题详解】 根据“Then they turn into larger drops (水珠). When that happens, gravity (重力) causes them to fall to the Earth. We call the falling water drops rain.”可知，较大的水滴会变成落下的水珠，这就是雨。rain“雨”，不可数名词。故填rain。 【78题详解】 根据“When the air is colder, the water may form (形成) snowflakes instead.”可知，当空气中的温度降低时，可能会形成雪花。lower“更低”，用于形容气温低。故填lower。 【79题详解】 根据“Clouds can cause rain, snow and so on.
