Keep these answers and ideas in your journal so you can refer back to them. 17 When you feel confident in your invention and have made any useful changes, research it to make sure your idea is truly special. You can search online for products that match the description of your invention. If you have a name for your product created already, search this to make sure that it is not already being used. 18 If you have to use power tools or the dangerous materials, you will probably need somebody’s help.

Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere. They make our world look and smell better. So,it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well … except for one—dandelions（蒲公英）! In order to have a tidy garden,we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out—only to see these unwanted plants grow right back. But that’s not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone. In fact,a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods. Dandelions are full vitamins（维生素）K,A,E and C. They have long been used as medicine. Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them,either cooked or Uncooked. You can also put flowers or roots（根）in hot water to make dandelion tea.Great! Nothing goes to waste! Besides,dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top,close your eyes,make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath,your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world. Still unwanted plants?Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen. They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them,blow harder—you’re helping this great plant grow in the wild,even if your own wish does not come true! 24. The first paragraph is mainly to draw（吸引）reader’s attention to ________. A. flowers B. seasons C. dandelions 25. According to Paragraph 2,which of the following is TRUE？ A. If you want to have a tidy garden,killing all dandelions is the best way. B. Dandelions are quite easy to grow back even if we kill or dig them out. C. We should leave the dandelions alone because they are very bad. 26. By blowing dandelions,kids can most probably ________. A. kill them B. have fun C. make tea 27. What does the underlined word “harder” in the last paragraph mean？ A. 更用力 B. 更坚硬 C. 更困难 28. According to the passage,dandelions ________. A. are healthy plants B. cannot be eaten C. are easy to kill 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 28. A 【解析】短文向大家介绍了蒲公英这种植物。它的花并不美，不为人们所喜爱。但蒲公英是一种健康的植物，2014年的一项研究将蒲公英列为最健康的41种食物之一。它的每一个部分都可以食用，还可以作为孩子们免费的玩具，吹蒲公英许愿对孩子们来说是非常开心的事情。最后呼吁大家热爱蒲公英，把蒲公英的种子洒向各个角落。 24.推理判断题。第一段介绍了春天是一个美丽的季节，各种颜色和形状的花随处可见，装扮着整个世界，散发出怡人的味道，不免让人们产生喜爱之情，最后一句却说蒲公英除外，让读者很想知道到底是什么原因，因此第一段主要是为了引起读者对蒲公英的注意。故选C。 25.推理判断题。根据第二段中“In order to have a tidy garden, we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out—only to see these unwanted plants grow right back”可知，蒲公英很容易重新长出来，即使我们把它们杀死或挖出来，B表述正确，故选B。 26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Besides, dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top,close your eyes,make a wish and blow”可知，吹蒲公英许愿对孩子们来说是非常开心的事情，故选B。 27.词义猜测题。根据“blow harder—you’re helping this great plant grow in the wild”可知，更用力地吹蒲公英，就会帮助它在野外生长，所以harder表示“更用力”，故选A。 28.细节理解题。根据“In fact, a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods”可知，蒲公英是一种健康的植物，故选A。 （D） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使其意思通顺，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 The Huazhao Festival is a traditional festival with a history of over 2,000 years in China. Because the weather is different in various places in China, people usually hold celebrations on the 2nd, 12th, 15th or 25th day of the second lunar (阴历的) month.   29 People thought that the goddess of flowers helped families have more children. It was good to have more family members to help on the farm. Later, it became a custom to pray to the flower goddess for prosperity (繁荣). Because the festival falls in early spring, it’s the perfect time to go out and enjoy the beautiful flowers and scenery of the season. 30 31 They thought that the flowers and vegetables planted on that day would grow easily and quickly. What’s more, people thought wild vegetables in early spring were good, so many people enjoyed picking them at that time. At the festival, crowded markets often appeared early that day. 32 There were a lot of activities at the flower market, such as dancing, playing music and playing games. People also cut colorful cloth into pieces and tied them to the stems (茎) of flowers. 33 If the stems of some flowers were too thin, people would put a thin bamboo stick in the flower pot and tie a piece of red cloth to the stick. 根据短文内容，将下面的选项还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺，每个选项只能使用一次，其中有一个选项是多余的。 A．The flower market was the most popular.

It’s a national park lying in the east of California, the USA．The park isn’t scary as its name sounds. You can enjoy the desert sunshine there. At the same time, you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called “sailing stones” . Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And on the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail(痕迹). It seems that the rock has been pushed along in the sand. It was nearly 100 years ago that the “sailing stones” were reported for the first time. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. Until the 1990s, one widely accepted opinion was that the rocks were stuck in sheets(片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong. Then in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz expressed his opinion. He suggested that in winter, thick ice forms(形成) around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw(解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along and leave trails behind them. Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen for the purpose of showing his opinion was correct. Has Lorenz succeeded in solving the mystery of the sailing stones? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anybody else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe it was aliens who moved the stones. 34．What can you find in this park according to the passage? 35．When were the “sailing stones” reported for the first time? 36．Was the wind able to move such large ice sheets ? Why? 37．How did Ralph Lorenz prove (证明) his opinion was correct? 38．What can you do to meet the mysteries (谜团)? 【答案】34．Some special rocks called “sailing stones”. 35．Nearly 100 years ago. 36．No, it wasn’t. Because the winds in Death Valley were not that strong. 37．He did a test in his own kitchen. 38．We can do a test by ourselves. 【导语】本文主要介绍了位于美国加利福尼亚东部的死亡谷以及“风帆石”的未解之谜。 34．根据“you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called ‘sailing stones’”可知那里只有一些被称为“风帆石”的特殊岩石。故填Some special rocks called “sailing stones”. 35．根据“It was nearly 100 years ago that the ‘sailing stones’ were reported for the first time”可知“风帆石”是近100年前第一次被报道的。故填Nearly 100 years ago. 36．根据“research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong.”可知研究表明，要移动如此大的冰盖，风速必须达到每小时数百英里，死亡谷有强风，但没有那么强，所以不能移动如此大的冰盖。故填No, it wasn’t. Because the winds in Death Valley were not that strong. 37．根据“Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen for the purpose of showing his opinion was correct”可知他在自己的厨房里做了一个测试，以表明他的观点是正确的。故填He did a test in his own kitchen. 38．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为We can do a test by ourselves. 四、词语运用（本题共有两个语篇，A篇有五个小题，B篇有十个小题，每小题1分，共15分） （A） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，在空白处填入适当的单词，使其通顺、连贯，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。 Father’s Day is a day to thank fathers for all the love and support they give to the children.

What are you most interested in? In order to invent something from start to finish, you will need to stay within your fields of knowledge. Otherwise, you may have a great idea but don’t know how to realize it. 16 Consider all aspects (方面) of your invention including all the required parts, and important details about how it works or what it will do. Keep these answers and ideas in your journal so you can refer back to them. 17 When you feel confident in your invention and have made any useful changes, research it to make sure your idea is truly special. You can search online for products that match the description of your invention. If you have a name for your product created already, search this to make sure that it is not already being used. 18 If you have to use power tools or the dangerous materials, you will probably need somebody’s help.

Because the weather is different in various places in China, people usually hold celebrations on the 2nd, 12th, 15th or 25th day of the second lunar (阴历的) month.   29 People thought that the goddess of flowers helped families have more children. It was good to have more family members to help on the farm. Later, it became a custom to pray to the flower goddess for prosperity (繁荣).

It’s a national park lying in the east of California, the USA．The park isn’t scary as its name sounds. You can enjoy the desert sunshine there. At the same time, you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called “sailing stones” . Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And on the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail(痕迹). It seems that the rock has been pushed along in the sand. It was nearly 100 years ago that the “sailing stones” were reported for the first time. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. Until the 1990s, one widely accepted opinion was that the rocks were stuck in sheets(片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong. Then in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz expressed his opinion. He suggested that in winter, thick ice forms(形成) around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw(解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along and leave trails behind them. Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen for the purpose of showing his opinion was correct. Has Lorenz succeeded in solving the mystery of the sailing stones? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anybody else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe it was aliens who moved the stones. 34．What can you find in this park according to the passage? 35．When were the “sailing stones” reported for the first time? 36．Was the wind able to move such large ice sheets ? Why? 37．How did Ralph Lorenz prove (证明) his opinion was correct? 38．What can you do to meet the mysteries (谜团)? 四、词语运用（本题共有两个语篇，A篇有五个小题，B篇有十个小题，每小题1分，共15分） （A） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，在空白处填入适当的单词，使其通顺、连贯，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。 Father’s Day is a day to thank fathers for all the love and support they give to the children.
