In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 14. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A. A new study adds chickens to the list. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. Humans may not like animals. 15. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 16. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Know. D. Hurt. 17. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers C ①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant could be just what the scientists may suggest! ②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen(O₂) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster. ③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel(胶体) helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness(痒) caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin(患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round. ④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ⑤ ▲ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to to take care of an Aloe Vera plant. Isn’t it the perfect plant for lazy and forgetful gardeners. 18. In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic by ________. A. telling stories B. listing numbers C. giving examples D. asking questions 19. What are the uses of Aloe Vera gel as medicine in Paragraph 3? a. It’s good for eyes. b. It stops nosebleeds. c. It helps with the itchiness. d. It helps people lose weight. e. It deals with the pain of burns. A. c,e B. a,b C. b,d D. a,d 20. Which of the following can be the best to fill in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5? A. Aloe Vera plants help you improve memory. B. Aloe Vera plants are very easy to take care of. C. Aloe Vera plants can serve as a delicious dish. D. Aloe Vera plants are good-looking houseplants. 21 The structure of the passage may be ________. A. B. C. D. D In Flanders, a small town in Belgium, lived a little boy called Nello. He became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of two. Then he lived with his grandpa in a small house. Life was harder for them. Their life depended on Nello’s grandpa. Every morning, the old man would collect fresh milk from one house to another. He then had to load (装载) the milk on a cart and sent it to the city. Growing up a little older, Nello would try to help his grandpa to travel from Flanders to the city. One day, as Nello and his grandpa were going home from the city they saw a large dog lying on the side of the road. The dog was motionless. “What happened?” asked Nello. “Is the dog dead?” His grandpa touched the nose of the dog with his hand and examined the body of the dog. He then said to Nello “The dog is seriously ill. We have to take him to a vet (兽医), or he will die.” With the words, his grandpa put the dog on the cart and the two went home. The fact was that the dog was abandoned (抛弃) by his master because of his serious illness. Seeing the dying dog, Nello was heart-broken. The kind hearted boy took good care of him. Even though Nello and his grandpa did not have enough to eat, he would still feed the dog with milk and bread. Day by day, the dog began to stand on his feet and became stronger and stronger. “We should give him a name,” said Nello one day to his grandpa. “That’s a good idea,” replied his grandpa. “What name do you want to give him? How about Patrasche?” said Nello. “Patrasche is a beautiful name,” said his grandpa. From then on, Patrasche became a member of the family. One day, as Nello and his grandpa loaded the cart with milk and were ready to start their journey to the city, Patrasche stood in front of the cart. “Out of the way, Patrasche,” said Nello. “We’ll be late.” But Patrasche refused to move. He was simply staring at Grandpa and wagging(摇摆) his tail. “What does he want to do?” asked Nello. His grandpa smiled and said. “I believe our Patrasche wants to help pull the cart.” Hearing Grandpa’s words, Patrasche was wagging his tail even harder. Patrasche had been badly treated by his master all his life. Never had anyone treated him nicely as Nello and his grandpa. Patrasche was thankful for the kindness he received, so he wanted to help, Grandpa tied a stripe on Patrasche, and he started to pull the cart right away. From then on, people in town would see such a scene a large dog was pulling a cart loaded with milk with the grandpa pushing behind and Nello helping at the side. (Adapted from A Dog of Flanders) 22. How did Grandpa raise the family? A. By taking care of a dog. B. By working in the city. C. By serving as a vet in the town. D. By sending milk with a cart. 23. What does Patrasche probably mean by wagging his tail even harder in the story? A. He became a little bit tired. B. He thought he got a new master. C. He was well understood by Grandpa. D. He was satisfied with his new name. 24. What is the correct order of what happened in the story? a. Patrasche helped to pull the cart. b. Nello named the dog Patrasche. c. Nello and his grandpa found a sick dog. d. Patrasche became a member of the family. A. c-b-d-a B. a-c-b-d C. c-b-a-d D. a-c-d-b 25. What can we learn from the story? A Honesty can make a big difference. B. Humans and animals can help each other. C. Life will become sweeter through hard work. D. Abandoned animals are real friends of humans. 第四部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendship to last a lifetime. ____26____ Friends sometimes misunderstand each other.

When it was ready, the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning“foreigner”. It was my second day in China, and this marked the first at different places when I would be called a laowai in public. What does it feel like to be called a laowai? As someone who doesn’t like being in the spotlight (聚光灯), walking down the street and suddenly hearing someone say to their friend, “Look, a laowai”, is not a pleasant experience. It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention. As much as I dislike being singled out, I also try to understand. China is not a nation like Australia, where I’m from. So. for many Chinese people, seeing a foreigner is still a big deal. When I’m in a place in China with few foreigners, even I sometimes can’t help but point out to my friends that there’s another foreigner nearby, I just make sure to do it carefully! My Chinese friends also tell me that laowai is a more welcome term than waiguoren because lao adds a touch of respect and friendship. I’ve never felt it came from a place of rudeness or disrespect. The longer I live here, the more China feels like home, and the more I just want to “fit in”. And that, I think, is something beautiful. 54. What does laowai mean? _________________________________________________________________________________ 55. How does the writer feel when being called laowai? _________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What would you say when you see a foreigner? Why? _________________________________________________________________________________ 第八部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 57.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 14. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A. A new study adds chickens to the list. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. Humans may not like animals. 15. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 16. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Know. D. Hurt. 17. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 【答案】14. A 15. D 16. C 17. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了科学家研究动物情感的实验，尤其是鸡的情感表达。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可说明研究包括了鸡，所以A选项适合在此处，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls.”可知，当鸡看到食物时，它们会发出快速而响亮的声音，即食物叫声。选项D显示快速重复的波形，与此描述一致。故选D。 【16题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.”和上文可知，研究人员希望识别鸡的情感，这样在养殖时，可以让鸟类更快乐、更健康，所以“identify”意为识别或知道，故选C。 【17题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要讨论鸡的快乐和不快乐的情感以及人类对其感知的能力，因此“Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens”最符合文章主题，故选B。 C ①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care?

Studies have shown that they give off oxygen(O₂) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster. ③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine?

To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin(患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round. ④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ⑤ ▲ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to to take care of an Aloe Vera plant.

He became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of two. Then he lived with his grandpa in a small house. Life was harder for them. Their life depended on Nello’s grandpa. Every morning, the old man would collect fresh milk from one house to another. He then had to load (装载) the milk on a cart and sent it to the city. Growing up a little older, Nello would try to help his grandpa to travel from Flanders to the city. One day, as Nello and his grandpa were going home from the city they saw a large dog lying on the side of the road. The dog was motionless. “What happened?” asked Nello. “Is the dog dead?” His grandpa touched the nose of the dog with his hand and examined the body of the dog. He then said to Nello, “The dog is seriously ill. We have to take him to a vet (兽医), or he will die.” With the words, his grandpa put the dog on the cart and the two went home. The fact was that the dog was abandoned (抛弃) by his master because of his serious illness. Seeing the dying dog, Nello was heart-broken. The kind hearted boy took good care of him. Even though Nello and his grandpa did not have enough to eat, he would still feed the dog with milk and bread. Day by day, the dog began to stand on his feet and became stronger and stronger. “We should give him a name,” said Nello one day to his grandpa. “That’s a good idea,” replied his grandpa. “What name do you want to give him? How about Patrasche?” said Nello. “Patrasche is a beautiful name,” said his grandpa. From then on, Patrasche became a member of the family. One day, as Nello and his grandpa loaded the cart with milk and were ready to start their journey to the city, Patrasche stood in front of the cart. “Out of the way, Patrasche,” said Nello. “We’ll be late.” But Patrasche refused to move. He was simply staring at Grandpa and wagging(摇摆) his tail. “What does he want to do?” asked Nello. His grandpa smiled and said. “I believe our Patrasche wants to help pull the cart.” Hearing Grandpa’s words, Patrasche was wagging his tail even harder. Patrasche had been badly treated by his master all his life. Never had anyone treated him nicely as Nello and his grandpa. Patrasche was thankful for the kindness he received, so he wanted to help, Grandpa tied a stripe on Patrasche, and he started to pull the cart right away. From then on, people in town would see such a scene a large dog was pulling a cart loaded with milk with the grandpa pushing behind and Nello helping at the side. (Adapted from A Dog of Flanders) 22.

When it was ready, the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning“foreigner”. It was my second day in China, and this marked the first at different places when I would be called a laowai in public. What does it feel like to be called a laowai? As someone who doesn’t like being in the spotlight (聚光灯), walking down the street and suddenly hearing someone say to their friend, “Look, a laowai”, is not a pleasant experience. It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention. As much as I dislike being singled out, I also try to understand. China is not a nation like Australia, where I’m from. So. for many Chinese people, seeing a foreigner is still a big deal. When I’m in a place in China with few foreigners, even I sometimes can’t help but point out to my friends that there’s another foreigner nearby, I just make sure to do it carefully! My Chinese friends also tell me that laowai is a more welcome term than waiguoren because lao adds a touch of respect and friendship. I’ve never felt it came from a place of rudeness or disrespect. The longer I live here, the more China feels like home, and the more I just want to “fit in”. And that, I think, is something beautiful. 54. What does laowai mean? _________________________________________________________________________________ 55. How does the writer feel when being called laowai? _________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What would you say when you see a foreigner? Why? _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】54. Foreigner. 55. The writer feels awkward and uncomfortable when being called laowai, as it draws unnecessary attention. 56. When I see a foreigner, I would probably say “Hello”, because I want to respect him/her and not make him/her feel uncomfortable. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个外国人在中国被称为“老外”的经历和感受，以及他对这一称呼的理解和适应过程。 【54题详解】 根据“...the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning ‘foreigner’”可知，老外的意思是“foreigner”，即“外国人”。故填Foreigner. 【55题详解】 根据“...hearing someone say to their friend, ‘Look, a laowai’, is not a pleasant experience”以及“It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention.”可知，作者感到尴尬和不舒服，因为这样会引来不必要的关注。故填The writer feels awkward and uncomfortable when being called laowai, as it draws unnecessary attention. 【56题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为When I see a foreigner, I would probably say “Hello”, because I want to respect him/her and not make him/her feel uncomfortable. 第八部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 57.

Since I entered Grade 9, I have noticed significant changes in myself, especially in my study habits. I used to procrastinate and often found myself panicking before exams. My poor preparation led to unsatisfactory grades, which lowered my confidence. However, I realized that this habit needed to change if I wanted to succeed. I started organizing my schedule and allocating specific time for each subject. Gradually, my grades improved, and I became more confident in my abilities.
