A 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述很多中国学生认为学习英语难，但实际上学习汉语更难。要想学好汉语，必须了解中国以及中国的历史。 11题详解】 句意：事实上，汉语比英语难学得多。 由than可知，此处用比较级，difficult的比较级为more difficult；much可以修饰比较级，位于比较级的前面。故选B。 【12题详解】 句意：还有一些其他国家的学生汉语说得很好。 考查副词。well好，副词；good好的，形容词；bad坏的，形容词；badly差地，副词。根据“If you didn't see them, you may think they are Chinese.”如果你没看到他们，你可能会认为他们是中国人。可知，此处是指这些学生汉语说得好，因此排除C/D；speak是动词，因此用well修饰。故选A。 【13题详解】 句意：是什么使他们成功的？ 考查代词。they他们，主格；them他们，宾格；their他们的，形容词性的物主代词；theirs他们的，名词性的物主代词。makes后跟宾格代词。故选B。 【14题详解】 句意：对我来说，谈话是最有帮助的。 空后面的helpful是形容词，因此排除B/D；此处应该用helpful的最高级，是指说话对我来说是最有帮助的。最高级前需用定冠词the。故选C。 【15题详解】 句意：我尽量用汉语说话。 考查介词。on在……上；in用；at 在 (某处) ；with和……在一起。此处是指用汉语说话。因此用介词in，in Chinese：用汉语。故选B。 【16题详解】 句意：如果你只听别人说话，你只会很擅长听 考查动词辨析。listen听；talk说。be good at后跟动名词，排除B/C；根据“If you only listen to what others speak,”如果你只听别人说话。可知，此处是指如果你只听别人说话，而自己不说，那么你只是善于听而已。故选A。 【17题详解】 句意：但是如果你尽可能多地说，你会发现你能说一口流利的汉语。 考查原级。选项A为最高级；选项B为最高级；选项C为比较级；选项D为原级。as…as中间用形容词或副词的原级，此处是的as much as you can：尽可能多地。故选D。 【18题详解】 句意：她对汉语及其历史感兴趣。 此处考查be interested in：对……感兴趣。是指她对汉语及其历史感兴趣。故选B。 【19题详解】 句意：她认为要学好一门语言，就必须设法了解这个国家。 考查不定代词。nothing没有什么；anything任何东西，用于否定句后疑问句；something某事；everything所有事物。结合语境：她认为要学好一门语言，就必须设法了解这个国家。可知，此处选择something某事；something about the country：关于这个国家的一些事情。故选C。 【20题详解】 句意：汉语和英语不同，但我们可以用同样的方法学习。 考查连词。but但是；and和；also也；so因此。句子Chinese is different from English与we can use the same way in learning it之间存在着转折关系，因此选择but但是；此处是指汉语和英语虽然不同，但学习方法是一样的。故选A。 四、阅读理解 (第51-55 小题，每小题1分;第 56-70 小题，每小题2分,共 35 分) A One of the easiest ways to keep fit is to do jogging. Jogging doesn’t mean running fast. It is just a little faster than walking. Jog 20 meters, then walk 20 meters. Little by little, if you are not feeling very tired, you may do more jogging and less walking. It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week, and slowly increase this to 20-30 minutes every day.

If you want to start jogging, you should prepare some comfortable sports clothes and good running shoes. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的在答题卡上将“T”涂黑，错误的在答题卡上将“F”涂黑。 21. Jogging means running fast. 22.

You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population. Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.” In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.” Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolufionize (变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotie (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.” Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds. One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 31. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common? A. They succeeded in solving world problems. B. They spent all their lives serving people. C. They achieved a lot in the medical field. 32. The underlined phrase “deformed his fingers” could be replaced by ________. A. changed the shape of his fingers B. made him feel down C. gave him too much pressure 33. It is clean that ________. A. Pablo Picasso became famous after his death B. Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life C. it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal 34. When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ________. A. felt too tired to stay awake B. didn’t plan to study all medicine C. didn’t fully realize its importance 35. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Not everyone can be successful. B. The more difficulties, the better. C. Great success isn’t made naturally. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一些名人的事迹，告诉我们伟大的成就不是天生的，所有这些名人的共同点就是无论发生什么都坚持自己的目标。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger”及“Wu Mengchao, the ‘Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery’, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years.”可推知，袁隆平和吴孟超一生都在为人民服务。故选B。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time”可以猜测，长时间握手术刀会导致他的手指变形，画线词与A项表述意思相近。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria, Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist took on the job as head of a research team.”及“Finally, in 1972, they made it!”可知，从1969年到1972年，屠呦呦的团队花了大约3年时间才达到目标。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolufionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotie.”可知，Alexander Fleming没有意识到，他发现的世界上第一种抗生素重要到可以变革所有医药，也就是他没有意识到抗生素的重要性。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily.”及“One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.”可知，本文通过介绍名人的事迹告诉我们，伟大的成功不是天生的。故选C。 D There are about five thousand different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colours like blue, yellow, white, orange and black. In many cultures, people think ladybugs can bring good luck. Most people like them because they are beautiful and not bad for people’s health. But farmers love them because they eat plant-eating insects. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 small insects in its lifetime! Ladybugs are colourful for a reason. Their colours tell other animals, “Eat something else! I taste terrible.” Ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, such as forests, cities and along rivers. Ladybugs like to keep warm. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to hibernate (冬眠), such as inside houses. Here are some other facts about ladybugs: Though most ladybugs eat small insects, a few kinds eat plants. Ladybugs will clean themselves after a meal. There are more than 400 kinds of ladybugs in North America. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 36. How many kinds of ladybugs live in the world? A. About 50. B. About 500. C. About 5,000. 37. Why do farmers love ladybugs? A. Because they aren’t bad for people’s health. B. Because they eat plant-eating insects. C. Because they never eat plants. 38. What does the underlined word “habitats” mean in Chinese? A. 季节 B. 气候 C. 栖息地 39. Ladybugs like to stay somewhere ________. A. dry B. warm C. quiet 40. Where can we probably (很可能) read the passage? A. In a science magazine. B. On a hotel menu. C. In a guide book. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. C 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了瓢虫的相关知识。介绍了瓢虫的种类、人们喜欢它们的原因以及它们的生活习性。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There are about five thousand different kinds of ladybugs in the world.”可知，世界上大约有5000种不同的瓢虫。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But farmers love them because they eat plant-eating insects.”可知，农民喜欢它们，因为它们吃以植物为食的昆虫。故选B。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, such as forests, cities and along rivers.”可知，森林、城市和河流，这些都是瓢虫的栖息地；可推测出“habitats”意为“栖息地”。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ladybugs like to keep warm.”可知，瓢虫喜欢待在暖和的地方。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，这是一篇介绍瓢虫的科普类文章，主要介绍了瓢虫的种类、人们喜欢它们的原因以及它们的生活习性，因此我们可能在科学杂志上读到这篇文章。故选A。 五、补全对话(每小题1分，共5分) 根据对话内容，从下面方框中选择恰当的选项补全对话。 A: Hi, Betty.

It is just a little faster than walking. Jog 20 meters, then walk 20 meters. Little by little, if you are not feeling very tired, you may do more jogging and less walking. It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week, and slowly increase this to 20-30 minutes every day. The longer you join in jogging, the more you enjoy it and the healthier you will become. If you want to start jogging, you should prepare some comfortable sports clothes and good running shoes. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的在答题卡上将“T”涂黑，错误的在答题卡上将“F”涂黑。 21. Jogging means running fast. 22.

You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population. Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.” In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.” Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolufionize (变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotie (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.” Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds. One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 31. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common? A.

D There are about five thousand different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colours like blue, yellow, white, orange and black. In many cultures, people think ladybugs can bring good luck. Most people like them because they are beautiful and not bad for people’s health. But farmers love them because they eat plant-eating insects. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 small insects in its lifetime! Ladybugs are colourful for a reason. Their colours tell other animals, “Eat something else! I taste terrible.” Ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, such as forests, cities and along rivers. Ladybugs like to keep warm. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to hibernate (冬眠), such as inside houses. Here are some other facts about ladybugs: Though most ladybugs eat small insects, a few kinds eat plants. Ladybugs will clean themselves after a meal.
