Seeing the beauty of southern homes I love the lifestyle south of the Yangtze River. So I decided to make a group of buildings to show this, including a river with a bridge, classic houses and a pavilion (亭子). Through this experience, I saw the beauty of traditional folk houses. It made me want to visit this place someday. Gao Ruidi, 15 Admiring how Ma Tou walls stop fires I found Ma Tou Walls in the region south of the Yangtze River interesting because they look like staircases. People build Ma Tou Walls to prevent the fire. While making the model, I used mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构) to make the house stronger. By doing this, I realized how clever people were. Wu Maolin, 15 Taking a look at Tibetan folk houses I made a model of a traditional Tibetan folk house called a diaofang. Before making it, I learned online that most of them are built from stone and wood because of the cold weather there. But it was hard to build a small house using big stones, so I used paper instead. Folk houses can teach us a lot about the special cultures of different places. Wang Guanzhi, 15 26. Which of the following stories can be added in this report? A. Making Tujia wooden house. B.

Their meals are simple but fresh. They can enjoy the fresh and healthy meals thanks to a special program of the United Nations. The boy is Tian Zhiping. He lives with his grandfather in the small town in Central China’s Hunan Province. His parents have left the town to work in the city. The town is so remote that it was hard and expensive for local schools to get fresh food, especially fruits and vegetables. They could only provide packaged (包装好的) food for their students. Luckily, things changed in 2018 when the WFP (World Food Programme) China office worked with local governments to start a new program. This program encouraged local farmers to play a role in providing school meals. Tian Zhiping’s grandfather, Tian Qingxiang, became one of the 139 farmers chosen to provide vegetables for local schools. The program gives him seeds and fertilizer (种子和肥料) worth 500 yuan a year. “Now my grandchild gets in-season, fresh, safe and healthy food that I grew in an eco-friendly (环的) way.” Tian Qingxiang said, “And I can get about 6,000 yuan a year from selling crops.” Over the past six years, about 8000 children in several places including Guangxi, Gansu and Sichuan have taken part in similar programs. These programs hope to improve the health and development of children in poor areas, and help them grow up in healthier and more developed environments. 29. What was the main problem faced by local schools before? A. Fresh Food Problem. B. Running out of money. C. Having few workers. D. Shortage of cooking tools. 30. According to the passage, we know Tian Zhiping ________.

What is the main purpose of the programs according to the passage? A. To improve farmers’ life. B. To provide fresh food to schools. C. To help children’s health growth. D. To encourage eco-friendly farming. 【答案】29. A 30. B 31. D 32.

The sound of waves hitting the sides of the Nautilus, which we couldn’t hear when it was under the water. I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise, with the first light of day shining on the moving water. Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I knew these forests were under the sea. During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We must go through a door into the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. At one hundred metres deep, the suits worked very well, and we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up we walked further. 33. When the Nautilus had surfaced, it ________. A. was destroyed badly B. hid in the deep sea forest C. appeared on the sea D. opened gates for visitors 34. Ned decided not to join the hunting trip because he ________. A. had no chance to escape B. didn’t like Captain Nemo C. was afraid of diving deep D. would escape by himself 35. Which is the right order of the following events? a. Four of them enjoyed the amazing views. b. The writer felt sleepy and lay down to rest. c. Captain Nemo made diving suits and lights. d. Captain Nemo invited the writer to go hunting. e. Four of them went through a door into the sea floor. A. d-c-e-b-a B. c-d-e-a-b C. c-d-e-b-a D. d-c-e-a-b 36. Which of the following best describe Captain Nemo? A. Clever but inactive. B. Shy and quiet. C. Careful but worried. D. Creative and brave. 【答案】33. C 34. A 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇小说节选。文章选自小说《海底两万里》，讲述了尼摩船长领着作者阿龙纳斯教授等人进行的海底森林打猎之旅。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced.”“I would go out and see the sunrise, with the first light of day shining on the moving water.”和“The sound of waves hitting the sides of the Nautilus, which we couldn’t hear when it was under the water.”可知作者能听到海浪拍打鹦鹉螺号的声音，这在海底是听不见的，所以作者想要去看日出，由此推断鹦鹉螺号浮出水面，出现在海面上，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape.”和“When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip he decided not to come at all.”可知尼德是因为意识到不去陆地打猎，没有了逃跑的机会，所以决定不参加打猎之旅，故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ...made lights that worked in electric batteries.”“Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting in the forests of Crespo Island”“We must go through a door into the sea floor.”“This was the forest. The ‘trees’ in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical. We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.”和“I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept,”可知尼摩船长邀请作者去森林打猎，事先他已经做好了特殊的潜水服和灯，他们必须穿过一个门进入海底，他们看到了神奇的景色，后来他们都困了，并且都睡着了，故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks.”和“He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries.”可判断尼摩船长是一个善于创造的人，而根据他带领作者探险海底森林的经历又可以判断他是一个勇敢的人，故选D。 D It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and take a sunbath. In fact, however, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring (测量) light is one of them. This helps plants to plan better for the future. Plants have to measure the changes in the amount of daylight. This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers. If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. The potato plant, for example, will make tubers (块茎) — the potatoes that we eat. Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality of light. Some types of light can better help plants grow. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being filtered (透过) through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right type of light when it is shaded by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight. 37. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Plants’ busy day. B. Taking a sunbath. C. Plants’simple life. D. Measuring the light. 38. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________. A. how plants grow in each season B. how plants know the seasons C. how light changes during the year D. how plants record the quality of light 39. What might plants do when they can’t get direct light? A. Produce larger leaves. B. Save up more food inside. C. Change their growth speed. D. Stop growing for better light. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Light “Feeds” Plants B. Plants “See” Light C. Light “Shows” Power D. Plants “Say” Words 【答案】37. D 38. B 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了植物的日常生活也是忙碌的，比如每天它们需要测量光，来为未来做更好的计划。 【37题详解】 代词指代题。根据“Measuring (测量) light is one of them. This helps plants to plan better for the future.”可知，测量光有助于植物更好地规划未来，This指代其前提到的测量光，故选D。 【38题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Plants have to measure the changes in the amount of daylight. This helps them to tell what time of the year it is.”及全段可知，本段介绍了植物通过测量光来判断季节，从而做出如何成长的决定，故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being filtered (透过) through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right type of light when it is shaded by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight.”可知，当一种植物被其他植物遮蔽时，它就不能得到正确的光线。为了获得更多的阳光，它可能会开始长高或长出更大的叶子，故选A。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了植物每天忙于测量光来计划未来的成长，即植物每天监测光的数量和质量，故选B。 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions.

Around 100 models of folk houses made by students were on display. The school magazine reporter Wang Xinyue presents the stories behind their works. Seeing the beauty of southern homes I love the lifestyle south of the Yangtze River. So I decided to make a group of buildings to show this, including a river with a bridge, classic houses and a pavilion (亭子). Through this experience, I saw the beauty of traditional folk houses. It made me want to visit this place someday. Gao Ruidi, 15 Admiring how Ma Tou walls stop fires I found Ma Tou Walls in the region south of the Yangtze River interesting because they look like staircases. People build Ma Tou Walls to prevent the fire. While making the model, I used mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构) to make the house stronger. By doing this, I realized how clever people were. Wu Maolin, 15 Taking a look at Tibetan folk houses I made a model of a traditional Tibetan folk house called a diaofang. Before making it, I learned online that most of them are built from stone and wood because of the cold weather there. But it was hard to build a small house using big stones, so I used paper instead. Folk houses can teach us a lot about the special cultures of different places. Wang Guanzhi, 15 26. Which of the following stories can be added in this report? A. Making Tujia wooden house. B. Making traditional kites. C. Creating Chinese flower painting. D. Performing Beijing opera. 27. Who uses the paper as the main material for the model? A. Gao Ruidi. B. Wu Maolin. C. Wang Guanzhi. D. Wang Xinyue. 28. What part of the magazine may this passage be taken from? A. Science. B. Health. C. Fashion. D. Culture. B In a small, remote town, a schoolboy and his classmates are having lunch at school. Their meals are simple but fresh. They can enjoy the fresh and healthy meals thanks to a special program of the United Nations. The boy is Tian Zhiping. He lives with his grandfather in the small town in Central China’s Hunan Province. His parents have left the town to work in the city. The town is so remote that it was hard and expensive for local schools to get fresh food, especially fruits and vegetables. They could only provide packaged (包装好的) food for their students. Luckily things changed in 2018 when the WFP (World Food Programme) China office worked with local governments to start a new program. This program encouraged local farmers to play a role in providing school meals. Tian Zhiping’s grandfather, Tian Qingxiang, became one of the 139 farmers chosen to provide vegetables for local schools. The program gives him seeds and fertilizer (种子和肥料) worth 500 yuan a year. “Now my grandchild gets in-season, fresh, safe and healthy food that I grew in an eco-friendly (环的) way.” Tian Qingxiang said, “And I can get about 6,000 yuan a year from selling crops.” Over the past six years, about 8000 children in several places including Guangxi, Gansu and Sichuan have taken part in similar programs. These programs hope to improve the health and development of children in poor areas, and help them grow up in healthier and more developed environments. 29. What was the main problem faced by local schools before? A. Fresh Food Problem. B. Running out of money. C. Having few workers. D. Shortage of cooking tools. 30. According to the passage, we know Tian Zhiping ________. A. lives with his parents in a town B. gets help from a UN’s program C. eats packaged food at school now D. is a farmer chosen by the program 31. From Tian Qingxiang’s words, we can infer ________. A. the program pays him 6,000 yuan a year B. students only eat eco-friendly food now C. he gets twice the money from selling crops D. he grows healthy food for his grandchild 32. What is the main purpose of the programs according to the passage? A. To improve farmers’ life. B. To provide fresh food to schools. C. To help children’s health growth. D. To encourage eco-friendly farming. C Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms. The sound of waves hitting the sides of the Nautilus, which we couldn’t hear when it was under the water. I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise, with the first light of day shining on the moving water. Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I knew these forests were under the sea. During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We must go through a door into the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. At one hundred metres deep, the suits worked very well, and we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up we walked further. 33. When the Nautilus had surfaced, it ________. A. was destroyed badly B. hid in the deep sea forest C. appeared on the sea D. opened gates for visitors 34.

D It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and take a sunbath. In fact, however, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring (测量) light is one of them. This helps plants to plan better for the future. Plants have to measure the changes in the amount of daylight. This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers. If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. The potato plant, for example, will make tubers (块茎) — the potatoes that we eat. Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality of light. Some types of light can better help plants grow. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being filtered (透过) through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right type of light when it is shaded by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight. 37. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Plants’ busy day. B. Taking a sunbath. C. Plants’simple life. D. Measuring the light. 38 Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________. A. how plants grow in each season B. how plants know the seasons C. how light changes during the year D. how plants record the quality of light 39. What might plants do when they can’t get direct light? A. Produce larger leaves. B. Save up more food inside. C. Change their growth speed. D. Stop growing for better light. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Light “Feeds” Plants B. Plants “See” Light C. Light “Shows” Power D.
