So I made up my mind to go on a 3-month cycling journey to discover more. My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment in which I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay. The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another highlight of my journey. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favourite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity (慈善). The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged (鼓励) me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist saved me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He helped fix my tire. By the end of my journey, I wanted to keep going. I felt like I could do it forever. It was truly an experience I will never forget. If anyone wants to explore in China, I would highly recommend going by bicycle. 48. What does the writer talk about in Paragraph 3? A. Phone signal. B. Different foods. C. Natural beauty. D. Cheap cost. 49. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) “ _________”. A. Tibetan girls inviting the writer to a wedding B. cyclists in their 60s cycling better than the writer C. a group of Chinese men catching fish with the writer D. an experienced cyclist helping the writer to fix a flat tire 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. What a Pleasant Picnic! B. What Great People! C. What an Amazing Journey! D. What a Lucky Day! 【答案】48. C 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在中国进行为期三个月的骑行之旅，体验了中国的自然美景、美食，也遇到了很多热情好客的人。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see.”可知，第三段谈论的是自然美景。故选C。 【49题详解】  词句猜测题。根据“Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. ”可知，当作者遇到一群60多岁的骑行者时，他们骑得比作者好。划线词“It”指的是“60多岁的骑行者骑得比作者好”这件事。故选B。 【50题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，本文讲述了作者在中国进行为期三个月的骑行之旅，体验了中国的自然美景、美食，也遇到了很多热情好客的人。以选项C“多么惊人的旅程！”为标题最合适。故选C。 C After the haircut It’s getting hot. You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly (弯曲的) fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn’t catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals (化学物质) that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret — whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 51. In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage? A. Fashion. B. Science. C. History. D. Health. 52. What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A. Give enough food to the sheep. B. Wash the sheep many times. C. Find living place for the sheep. D. Cut the wool off the sheep. 53. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Hair helps keep warm. B. Hair testing is important. C. Hair can tell secrets. D. Hair helps solve crimes. 54. How is the passage organized (组织)? (P: Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了头发的多种用途，展现了头发在生活中的多种功能和重要性。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up?”以及文章的理解可知，文章主要是介绍头发的多种用途，应该是在杂志的科学板块能看到，故选B。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot.”可知，此处是指农民为了让羊在夏天不感到太热而剪掉羊毛。短语“shear the sheep”指的是“给羊剪毛”，故选D。 53题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第四段，由“Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets.”可知，本段主要讲述了头发可以揭示许多秘密，包括检测化学物质和解决犯罪等。故选C。 【54题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，首段引出关于头发的话题；第二，三和第四段分别介绍了头发的用途；最后一段进行总结。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共36分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出单词的适当形式。 55. Tom is not ________ (耐心的) at all, so he gets angry easily. 【答案】patient 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆一点也不耐心，所以他很容易生气。“耐心的”patient，形容词作表语，故填patient。 56. Jim says we can stay in his house as long as we ________ (使处于某种状态) it clean and tidy. 【答案】leave 【解析】 【详解】句意：吉姆说只要我们保持房子干净整洁，我们就可以住在他家里。leave“使处于某种状态”。根据题干中的“as long as we…it clean and tidy”可知，本题应使用短语leave it clean and tidy“使它保持干净整洁”。且根据主句中的says可知，从句应使用一般现在时，主语we为复数，动词应使用原形。故填leave。 57. Miss Tang has a good ________ (意识) of humour. She always makes us laugh in class. 【答案】sense 【解析】 【详解】句意：唐老师很有幽默感。她总是在课堂上逗我们笑。根据“She always makes us laugh in class.”可知，此处说的是有幽默感，a sense of humour意为“幽默感”，为固定搭配。故填sense。 58. I enjoyed the Paris Olympics ________ (在……期间) this summer. 【答案】during 【解析】 【详解】句意：我很喜欢今年夏天的巴黎奥运会。根据“I enjoyed the Paris Olympics…this summer.”及汉语提示可知，此处指的是在今年夏天期间，during“在……期间”，介词，符合语境。故填during。 （B）根据句意，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 59. I was ________ (one) asked about my Chinese dream. 【答案】once 【解析】 【详解】句意：我曾经被问到我的中国梦。根据“I was…asked about my Chinese dream.”及提示词可知，此处指的是我曾经被问到中国梦，once“曾经”，副词修饰动词“asked”，符合语境。故填once。 60. The watch is ________ (use) because the second hand is broken. 【答案】useless 【解析】 【详解】句意：这块手表没用了，因为秒针坏了。考查形容词作表语。根据“because the second hand is broken”可知表坏了无法使用，is后面应用形容词作表语；use是动词“使用”，use的形容词形式“无用的”是useless。故填useless。 61. Children, don’t play with knives or you may hurt ________ (you). 【答案】yourselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：孩子们，不要玩刀，否则你们会受伤的。根据“don’t play with knives or you may hurt...”可知，不要伤了自己，用反身代词，“Children”是名词复数，故填yourselves。 62. For ________ (far) information, you may visit our company’s web page. 【答案】further 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了解更多信息，你可以访问我们公司的网页。根据“For...information”可知是为了了解更多的信息，用比较级further“更多的”。故填further。 六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卷上。（本大题共8分，每小题1分） 63. —I really enjoy the food. Not only the dishes but also the fruit ________ (taste) nice. —I am glad you like them. Have more, please. 【答案】tastes 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我真的很喜欢这些食物。不仅菜味道好，而且水果味道也很好。——我很高兴你喜欢它们。请多吃点。taste“尝起来”，动词。根据“I really enjoy the food.”可知，时态是一般现在时，not only...but also...遵循“就近原则”，即谓语动词的形式与靠近的名词、代词在人称和数上保持一致；分析“Not only the dishes but also the fruit”可知，靠近的名词是fruit，在此处fruit是不可数名词，所以taste要变成第三人称单数形式tastes。故填tastes。 64. You’d better ________ (not get) off the bus before it stops. 【答案】not get 【解析】 【详解】句意：公共汽车还没停，你最好别下车。根据“You’d better…off the bus before it stops.”及提示词可知，had better do sth“最好做某事”，情态动词“had better”后应跟动词原形，其否定形式为“had better not do sth”，not get off the bus“别下车”，符合语境。故填not get。 65. The mid-term exam is around the corner. I am spending as much time as I can ________ (prepare) for it these days. 【答案】preparing 【解析】 【详解】句意：期中考试即将到来。这些天我花了尽可能多的时间准备。根据“The mid-term exam is around the corner. I am spending as much time as I can…for it these days.”及提示词可知，此处指的是花费尽可能多的时间准备期中考试，spend time doing sth“花费时间做某事”，固定短语，符合语境。故填preparing。 66. —Who do you think ________ (win) the match just now? —It must be Simon. Look! He is cheering excitedly. 【答案】won 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认为刚才谁赢了这场比赛？——一定是西蒙。看！他正兴奋地欢呼着。win“获胜”，动词。根据题干中的just now“刚才”可知，本题时态为一般过去时，动词应使用过去式won。故填won。 67. While repairing things at home, the more careful you ________ (be), the fewer mistakes you will make. 【答案】are 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你在家里修理东西时，你越细心，你犯的错误就越少。be“是”，动词原形。结合提示词和题干可知，本题考查“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越……，越……”。本句描述的是客观事实，句子时态用一般现在时，主语you是第二人称，be动词用are。故填are。 68. —There ________ (be) an art show in the Helv Relics Museum next week, isn’t there? —Yes. I would like to see it with my parents. 【答案】is going to be 【解析】 【详解】句意：——下星期在赫尔夫文物博物馆有一场艺术展，是吗？——是的。我想和我父母一起去看。根据“next week”可知用一般将来时，结合“isn’t there”可知用be going to be结构，主语an art show，是单数，be动词用is。故填is going to be。 69. Do you mind turning down the music? They ________ (attend) an online meeting next door at the moment. 【答案】are attending 【解析】 【详解】句意：你介意把音乐关小一点吗？他们此刻正在隔壁参加一个在线会议。attend“参加”，为动词。根据句子中的“Do you mind turning down the music?”和“at the moment”可知，动作正在进行中，应使用现在进行时，结构为be doing，主语是第三人称复数They，be动词用are。故填are attending。 70. —John, ________ (not believe) those things easily until you see them with your own eyes. —OK, I won’t. 【答案】don’t believe 【解析】 【详解】句意：——约翰，除非你亲眼目睹，否则不要轻易相信这些事情。——好的，我不会的。该句是祈使句的否定形式，用don’t+动词原形。故填don’t believe。 七、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卷对应题号的横线上。（本大题共5分，第71-72题每空0.5分，第73-75题每题1分） 71. 艾伦过去没几个朋友，因为他只关心自己。 Alan had few friends in the past because he only ________ ________ himself. 【答案】 ①. cared ②. about 【解析】 【详解】根据题意和汉语提示可知，缺少“关心”，英文表达为care about，而根据“had”可知，此句是一般过去时，所以，care应用过去式cared。故填cared；about。 72. 当你浏览完这篇文章时，你就能找到主要内容。 When you finish ________ ________ the article, you can find the main idea. 【答案】 ①. looking ②. through 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“浏览完这篇文章”，用动词短语“look through”，且“finish doing sth”表示“完成某事”，所以此处用动名词形式。故填looking；through。 73. 桂林是绝佳的地方，有许多名胜景点。 Guilin is a perfect place.

My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment in which I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay. The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another highlight of my journey. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favourite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity (慈善). The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged (鼓励) me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist saved me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He helped fix my tire. By the end of my journey, I wanted to keep going. I felt like I could do it forever. It was truly an experience I will never forget. If anyone wants to explore in China, I would highly recommend going by bicycle. 48. What does the writer talk about in Paragraph 3? A. Phone signal. B. Different foods. C. Natural beauty. D. Cheap cost. 49. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) “ _________”. A. Tibetan girls inviting the writer to a wedding B. cyclists in their 60s cycling better than the writer C. a group of Chinese men catching fish with the writer D. an experienced cyclist helping the writer to fix a flat tire 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. What a Pleasant Picnic! B. What Great People! C. What an Amazing Journey! D. What a Lucky Day! C After the haircut It’s getting hot. You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly (弯曲的) fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn’t catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals (化学物质) that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret — whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 51. In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage? A. Fashion. B. Science. C. History. D. Health. 52. What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A Give enough food to the sheep. B. Wash the sheep many times. C. Find living place for the sheep. D. Cut the wool off the sheep. 53. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Hair helps keep warm. B. Hair testing is important. C. Hair can tell secrets. D. Hair helps solve crimes. 54. How is the passage organized (组织)? (P: Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共36分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出单词的适当形式。 55. Tom is not ________ (耐心的) at all, so he gets angry easily. 56.
