The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 56. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 57. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Notice. B. Control. C. Discuss. D. Know. 58. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 59. When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A. In 1752. B. In 1898. C. In 1903. D. In 1933. 60. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite 【答案】56. B 57. D 58. C 59. B 60.

He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace.”可知，韩信想要挖隧道是为了对抗国王。故选B。 【57题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线)”可知，韩信把风筝放飞到宫殿的墙上，来确定风筝线的长度，从而通过这种方式来知道隧道应该有多长，划线单词与know近义。故选D。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year.”可知，日本放风筝的其中一个目的是为了庆祝新年的开始。故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data.”可知，1898年，美国气象局开始使用箱式风筝。故选B。 【60题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了风筝的历史。故选A。 B Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 61.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要四川自贡的盛大灯会以及灯笼制作人Wan Songtao。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty.”可知，自贡灯笼节追溯到唐朝，四个选项中只有李白是唐朝诗人，故选B。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps”可知，制作一个用于展览的巨型灯笼需要17个步骤，这并不容易。根据“The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process”可知，自贡制作灯笼的工人们在一个团队里一起工作，根据“Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography”可知，自贡的灯笼与其他地方的不同，故选C。 【63题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways.”可知，第三段主要介绍了灯笼主题，故选A。 【64题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular.

Now he is 29 years and has become a primary school teacher. And he inspires (激励) students with his love of music, working together with his sixth graders to deal with topics like Black History Month, bullying (欺凌) and even STAAR testing with music videos. “I knew that I was going to have to be more than just a teacher,” Young said. “I knew that I had to be their role model. Once I realized that I could be myself and bring what I already had, because I’ve been rapping (说唱音乐) for 15 years, that everything just made sense. It’s more than just helping students remember facts with rap lyrics. It’s about can we come together and create something magical to inspire someone.” Young and a team of sixth grade students at Ellis Primary School in Arlington spend months writing and producing music videos. From finding motivation (动力) in school to learning about African American pioneers or preventing bullying, the topic isn’t as important as the process (过程). “It’s great,” said Jane Kelly, one of Young’s students. “Doing that stuff makes me more interested in class because he always brings up the rap video or something.” Young hopes the music continues to inspire his students to never give up. The success stories of his former students keep him going. “Mr. Young, I’m going to college and I want to be a teacher just like you, and I want to be a teacher that works in urban communities because I know they need my help and I wouldn’t have done it, without you,” said another student of Young’s. 66. The topics Young and his students deal with cover ________. ①bullying ②STAAR testing ③music videos ④Black History Month A. ①②④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 67. Young started rapping when he was about ________. A. 5 B. 29 C. 15 D. 14 68. What might Young care most when creating the music? A. What topic it is about. B. If the students enjoy the process. C.

A. many students are in great need of help B. not all of his students enjoyed his work C. his work has influenced them a lot D. Young is a teacher with a lot of imagination 70. What is the best title for the passage? A. Rapping helps improve students’ grades. B. A teacher inspires his students with music. C. A teacher spreads knowledge with music. D. Rapping gets popular among students. 【答案】66. A 67. D 68. B 69. C 70. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了小学教师安东尼奥用他对音乐的热爱来激励学生们的故事。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And he inspires students with his love of music, working together with his sixth graders to deal with topics like Black History Month, bullying and even STAAR testing with music videos.”可知，安东尼和他的学生一起处理黑人历史月、欺凌、甚至用音乐视频进行STAAR测试等话题。①②④符合题意。故选A。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Now he is 29 years”及第二段第三句“because I’ve been rapping for 15 years”可知，现在29岁的安东尼从事说唱音乐已经15年了，经过简单计算可知，他是从29-15=14岁开始说唱。故选D。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“…the topic isn’t as important as the process主题不如过程重要”可知，在创作音乐时他最关心的是学生是否喜欢这个过程。故选B。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。通读最后一段学生对他说的话可知，学生想成为一名像他一样的老师，对其他人提供帮助，可推测他所做的工作深深地影响了他的学生。故选C。 【70题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，本文主要讲述了小学教师安东尼奥用他对音乐的热爱来激励学生们的故事。选项B“老师用音乐激励学生”符合题意。故选B。 D Taking Root We all know that there are a great number of different plants in the world. But how many kinds of plants are there exactly in the world? Lucy Braun wondered that as a child. She showed a great interest in plants when she was just a little child. She often had energetic walks with her family through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colors. Others hid behind rocks. Lucy looked at the shapes of different leaves while she was walking in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw so that she could compare all kinds of plants. Later. Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants. Branching Out While she was at university, Lucy took classes in geology, or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology (生态学). She believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time. In Full Bloom In 1917 Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods, Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them, too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos very much. The ▲ of Labour (劳动) Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests all over the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time. Today, Lucy has a few plants named after her. One of them is Lucy Braun’s snakeroot (蛇根草), which is now in danger. Lucy’s work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance. Lucy Braun lived to be 81. In her years as a botanist, Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants! 71. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. The plants seemed to be angry with Lucy. B. The plants could talk just like humans. C. The plants appeared to be full of life. D. The plants were looked after well by Lucy. 72. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The reason why Lucy liked plants. B. The time when Lucy noticed plants. C. The special plants Lucy collected. D. The way Lucy studied plants. 73. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “botany” in Paragraph 2? A. 生物 B. 生物学 C. 植物学 D. 植物学家 74. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in the last part? A. Causes B. Fruits C. Flowers D. Records 75. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Story of a Great Scientist B. The Collection of the Plants C. The Protection of the Plants D. The Lesson by a Scientist 【答案】71. C 72. D 73. C 74. B 75. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Lucy Braun作为一位伟大的植物学家的故事，包括她的成长经历、学术研究和对植物保护的贡献。 【71题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colours”可知，植物的颜色非常鲜艳，仿佛在向她呼喊，说明这些植物看起来充满了生机。故选C。 【72题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第二段可知，第二段主要讲述了Lucy在大学期间如何学习和研究植物，包括她学习地质学和生态学的经历，以及这些学科如何改变了她看待自然界的方式。故选D。 【73题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants.”可知“the study of plants”是对botany的解释，意为“植物学”。故选C。 【74题详解】 推理判断题。根据上下文，最后一部分讲述了Lucy晚年写了许多野外指南，并在1950年出版了她最重要的指南，这些指南描述了全国各地森林中的植物，生态学家仍然使用这些指南来研究森林随时间的变化。因此，选项B “Fruits”（成果）最为合适。故选B。 【75题详解】 最佳标题题。整篇文章讲述了Lucy Braun作为一位伟大的植物学家的故事，包括她的成长经历、学术研究和对植物保护的贡献。因此，选项C“The Story of a Great Scientist”是最合适的标题。故选A。 第二部分 非选择题（55分） 五、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在表格空白处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。 Life is filled with regrets (遗憾、后悔).

Too much stress makes students less and less happy. Some students study very hard but they still can’t do well in studies. They often worry so much about their exams that they can’t sleep well. Others think they have so much homework to do that they have no time to play. I feel stressed from time to time too. I’m good at every subject but it’s hard for me to get on well with my classmates. I also have problems communicating with my parents. I really feel tired sometimes. I know I have no choice but to try my best to change the situation. It is important to find ways to reduce stress in order to lead a healthier and happier life. I think a conversation with parents or teachers is helpful and taking exercise can make us relaxed when we’re stressed. Exercising, spending time with friends and family and getting enough sleep help a lot too.

Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 56. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 57. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Notice. B. Control. C. Discuss. D. Know. 58. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 59. When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A. In 1752. B. In 1898. C. In 1903. D. In 1933. 60. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite B Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 61. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A. Cao Cao. B. Li Bai. C. Tao Yuanming. D. Cao Zhi. 62.

C Antonio Young used to be a newspaper reporter 5 years ago. Now he is 29 years and has become a primary school teacher. And he inspires (激励) students with his love of music, working together with his sixth graders to deal with topics like Black History Month, bullying (欺凌) and even STAAR testing with music videos. “I knew that I was going to have to be more than just a teacher,” Young said. “I knew that I had to be their role model. Once I realized that I could be myself and bring what I already had, because I’ve been rapping (说唱音乐) for 15 years, that everything just made sense. It’s more than just helping students remember facts with rap lyrics. It’s about can we come together and create something magical to inspire someone.” Young and a team of sixth grade students at Ellis Primary School in Arlington spend months writing and producing music videos. From finding motivation (动力) in school to learning about African American pioneers or preventing bullying, the topic isn’t as important as the process (过程). “It’s great,” said Jane Kelly, one of Young’s students. “Doing that stuff makes me more interested in class because he always brings up the rap video or something.” Young hopes the music continues to inspire his students to never give up. The success stories of his former students keep him going. “Mr. Young, I’m going to college and I want to be a teacher just like you, and I want to be a teacher that works in urban communities because I know they need my help and I wouldn’t have done it, without you,” said another student of Young’s. 66.

Rapping gets popular among students. D Taking Root We all know that there are a great number of different plants in the world. But how many kinds of plants are there exactly in the world? Lucy Braun wondered that as a child. She showed a great interest in plants when she was just a little child. She often had energetic walks with her family through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colors. Others hid behind rocks. Lucy looked at the shapes of different leaves while she was walking in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw so that she could compare all kinds of plants. Later. Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants. Branching Out While she was at university, Lucy took classes in geology, or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology (生态学). She believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time. In Full Bloom In 1917, Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods, Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them, too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos very much. The ▲ of Labour (劳动) Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests all over the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time. Today, Lucy has a few plants named after her. One of them is Lucy Braun’s snakeroot (蛇根草), which is now in danger. Lucy’s work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance. Lucy Braun lived to be 81. In her years as a botanist, Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants! 71. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. The plants seemed to be angry with Lucy. B. The plants could talk just like humans. C. The plants appeared to be full of life. D. The plants were looked after well by Lucy. 72. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The reason why Lucy liked plants. B. The time when Lucy noticed plants. C. The special plants Lucy collected. D. The way Lucy studied plants. 73.

Make better plans It’s better for you to make a plan before you start to do something. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last.

Good friends will always be better than your ideas. When you get into trouble, they are ready to offer you a helping hand, no matter how much time or energy this may take them. Their help may bring you good results. Never fear failure Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed.
