We sat together and rested quietly. We had not sat long before another person came in. There were no heavy clouds in the sky any more, and the moon became bright; and her light, coming in through a window near, shone full both on us and on the coming person, Miss Temple. “I came to find you, Jane Eyre,” said she. “I want you in my room, and as Helen is with you, she may come too.” We followed Miss Temple to her room. It had a good fire, and looked cheerful. Miss Temple told Helen to take a seat in a low arm-chair on one side of the fire place, and herself taking another, she called me to her side. “Is it all over?” she asked, looking down at my face. “Do you cry your sadness away?” “I am afraid I shall never do that.” “Why?” “Because someone wrongly accused me, and you and everybody else, will now think me a bad girl.” “We shall think you what you prove (证明) yourself to be, my child. Keep acting as a good girl, and you will make us happy.” “Shall I, Miss Temple?” “You will.” said Miss Temple, “You were accused of telling lies a lot when you were little. Tell us the truth (真相), but add nothing.” I decided that I would be most honest and most correct. Thinking for a few minutes about where to start, I told Miss Temple, my teacher, all the story of my sad childhood. —Adapted from Jane Eyle 1．What does the underlined paragraph imply (暗示)?

The Squire was there. “John,” he said, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note. Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John. I went as fast as possible. When we arrived at Dr White’s house, John told him: “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to her immediately.” “Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked. The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my very best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake and I felt very cold. A long time later John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep. Over and over again, John said to himself: “Stupid (愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!” I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day. The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.” John said, “Black Beauty went so fast, he seemed to know what was wrong.” —Taken from Black Beauty 6．Whose life did Black Beauty save?

Now, Beauty, do your best”和“You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.”可知，马儿救了Mrs Gordon的命。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me.

Her face was red, her eyes flashing. “Don’t talk to your mother like that,” said her father. He was angry, too. Her sister Sophie looked down at her plate and smiled a secret little smile. Holly walked towards the door. Her father stood up. “Where are you going?” he asked. Holly looked back from the open door. “I’m leaving.” “What do you mean, leaving?” “I’m not staying her another minute. I’m leaving home!” And with that, Holly walked quickly out and noisily shut the door behind her. “Come back in here!” her father shouted. But Holly didn’t come back. They heard her footsteps banging up the stairs. “This is ridiculous!” he said loudly. Holly’s father was very red in the face. “She’s only thirteen years old!” he said, picking up his knife and fork. “You know what she’s like,” Sophie said, playing with her long blond hair. “She is just protesting (抗议). She always has to protest about something.” “Leaving home!” Her father said, shaking his head. “Don’t worry, Alan,” Holly’s mother Sandra said. “Holly isn’t going anywhere.” And then they heard a door slam. “What was that?” Sandra looked up, surprised. “Was that the front door? Alan!” All three stood up. Alan rushed to the door, but Sophie stopped him. “Relax, Dad,” she said. “Look.” Sophie pointed to the window. They saw Holly walking across the grass to the old oak tree at the end of the garden. She was carrying a rucksack (帆布背包). Her dog Eco was running along beside her. “What on earth is that girl doing?” her father asked. His face was only pink now, but he was still very annoyed. Holly stopped at the bottom of the tree.

I’m leaving home (我一分钟也不想待在她身边。我要离开家)”可知这里的her是指她的妈妈，根据“Holly’s mother Sandra said”可知霍莉的妈妈是桑德拉，故选C。 12．细节理解题。根据“Sit down and finish your dinner”“You know what she’s like…Sophie said…She always has to protest about something”“And then they heard a door slam…Was that the front door?”以及“They saw Holly walking across the grass to the old oak tree…Holly stopped at the bottom of the tree.”可知最开始是他们在一起吃晚饭，然后姐姐Sophie说Holly是在抗议，接着是他们听到了前门关上的声音，最后是他们看到Holly走向老橡树，所以正确的顺序是a、c、d、b。故选A。 13．推理判断题。根据“She’s only thirteen years old…his knife and fork”可知爸爸对霍莉的离开很担心，故选A。 二、日常活动——贴近生活的高频考点。 Passage 1 How can we relax after busy workdays? Walking through the city streets at weekends is now a new favourite among young people in China. It is called Citywalk. People can take a Citywalk on their own or by following a tour guide.

Many Citywalkers love to share their routes (路线) with others, including how long the walk will take and what beautiful places they will see along the way. It is helpful to others who also want to take a Citywalk. Nan Xi, a girl from Beijing, moved to Shanghai not long ago.

There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different things. It’s great for friends to walk together and take photos,” she said. She decided to have a try. She had a two-hour Citywalk tour. During the tour, the guide talked about the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “I enjoyed the trip that day.

They usually don’t go to famous shopping centers. Instead, they go to small shops or restaurants, take a close look at old buildings and know about the history and culture of the city.”可知，人们在城市漫步时，通常不去著名的购物中心；人们会去小商店或餐馆，近距离观察老建筑，了解城市的历史和文化。故选C。 16．细节理解题。根据第四段“Nan Xi, a girl from Beijing, moved to Shanghai not long ago. One day, when she went online to find something interesting to do on weekends, she got to know about Citywalk.”可知，来自北京的南希，不久前搬到了上海；她上网寻找周末有趣的事情时，了解到了Citywalk，因此选项A“她通过电视了解到了Citywalk。”和选项B“她不久前搬到了北京。”与原文不符；根据第四段“She had a two-hour Citywalk tour.”可知，这次城市漫步持续两个小时，选项D“她在上海游览了三个小时。”与原文不符；根据“I can’t wait to take another Citywalk,”可知，她期待着再一次城市漫步，选项C“她想再来一次城市漫步。”符合原文。故选C。 17．主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其是最后一段“Take a Citywalk at weekends!

When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor. It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria（尼日利亚） has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families. Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad. Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school?” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. Ayub was also an orphan（孤儿） and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral（葬礼） said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters. Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s school fees. _______. Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework. Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since（自从） he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park. Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes? Why don’t you study?’” One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said. Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub. Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education. Information collected by an organization shows half of all Pakistani children in the 5th grade do not understand basic（基础的）mathematics and cannot read a story in their language. A group in Islamabad reports Pakistan spends less on education than any other country in South Asia. 21．According to the report of a group in Islamabad, which country spends the least on education in South Asia?

After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to explore the country! After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok.

At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School. I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world.

People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”.

Many traditional woodcuts are printed either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) often show rich colors like Western oil paintings. The reduction woodcuts are famous for their rich colors. On the same piece of wood, the artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order. The artwork was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er city, Yunnan province, in 2009. Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. He started learning the art at college in 2003. He thinks that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an amazing journey. “Every time we cut a model on the woodblock and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful models layer by layer, he gets more excited. But finishing such work is not easy. Before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng hopes his artwork can show not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life. “My works have two series (系列). One is called the Tea Horse Road, since Pu’er is one of the starting points of that road. The other is the Disappearing Villages.” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding for safety, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” 30．What’s special about the reduction woodcut? A．It has one layer. B．It is colorful. C．It uses a piece of wood. D．It is simple in color. 31．What is the correct order of making reduction woodcuts?

A．An artist’s story B．A Chinese artist C．Making a colorful artwork on wood D．Learning special works in Yunnan 【答案】30．B 31．A 32．D 33．C 【详解】本文主要介绍的是非物质文化遗产——绝版木刻，以及绝版木刻艺术家冷光冕。 30．细节理解题。根据“Many traditional woodcuts are printed either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) often show rich colors like Western oil paintings.”可知，绝版木刻特别之处是色彩丰富。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据“Before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers.”及“Every time we cut a model on the woodblock and then print”可知，先需要规划整个版画，接着选好颜色，然后切割，最后打印，所以正确顺序应为。故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据“Leng hopes his artwork can show not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life.”可知，冷光冕制作绝版木刻的目的是展现当地的文化和生活。故选D。 33．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍的是非物质文化遗产——绝版木刻，所以选项C“在木头上制作彩色艺术品”为最佳标题。故选C。 Passage 2 Pentatonix is a group known for their singing.

At last, Pentatonix won! The group got＄200, 000. They also got a chance to sing music for a company. But the company thought that the group was unqualified, so they didn’t accept the group Pentatonix kept on trying. They put their songs on the Internet. People loved their music and bought it! One of their records became the best-selling Christmas record since 1962! After that, Pentatonix sang in a movie. The group is still singing today. They now go all over the world to sing their music.

But the company thought that the group was unqualified, so they didn’t accept the group Pentatonix kept on trying.”可知，他们没有接受这个小组，推测出此处是指公司认为这个组合唱的不够好。故划线单词“unqualified”与“not good enough”同义，意为“不够好”。故选A。 37．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Maybe they’ll meet problems in the future, but I believe they can get better and better.”可知，也许他们将来会遇到问题，但我相信他们会变得越来越好。故作者认为Pentatonix的未来会越来越好。故选C。 五、体育竞技——不畏困难，勇攀新高峰！ Passage 1 About half a year ago, young athletes from China shone at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and they were the brightest stars.

She swam as long as a full marathon in the rough (波涛汹涌的) waters of Biscayne Bay, Florida. She even picked rubbish out of the water as she swam. Ms Liivand was born in Estonia. As a child, she had health problems, and began swimming to make herself stronger. She was soon taking part in open water swimming competitions, sometimes even in cold water. Years ago, Ms Liivand moved to Miami, Florida, where she went on swimming in the sea. In one training class, she nearly swallowed (吞) some plastic on the sea. It made her think of the sea animals that faced similar (相似的) problems every day. She decided to work to make people know more about plastic pollution (塑料污染), which she called a “plastic pandemic”. Thinking about sea animals gave her the idea of swimming like one. She began swimming with a special single swimming fin with both of her feet in it. This rubbery fin allowed her to swim by kicking both of her legs together. “Swimming with the rubbery fin without using my arms is similar to how dolphins and other sea animals swim,” said Ms Liivand. She believed that swimming with a rubbery fin “sent a bigger message”. The water was rough, and she ran into a few problems, but she didn’t stop. She said, “I kept telling myself that it was not the time to cry.” To keep her energy up, a friend followed her in a kayak (皮划艇) and gave her food and water from time to time. Along the way, Ms Liivand picked up all the rubbish she found and put it in the kayak. By the end of her marathon, the kayak had held three bags full of rubbish. 41．What idea did Merle Liivand have when thinking about sea animals? A．Picking up rubbish in the sea.

The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known. Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

My mother was a dancer and I wanted to be like her, but after making many mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to give up right away. Because it was only my first day, but I told my mom I couldn’t wait to dance again. Several weeks passed and my dancing didn’t get any better. Then my dance teacher told us that we were going to perform in a show. I was afraid of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and made my mom sad. I practiced hard for the show, but I still didn’t get the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mom to tell her how I felt. She just laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet. My mom quickly found out how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be. The music began and my heart started to beat quickly. Breathing calmly, I began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed with excitement.

As a boy, I always thought people bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you.” I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail (航行) it at Storvassdal,” he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none. Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them correctly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal. We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassal. I said goodbye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again. In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before. I carved (雕刻) “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back. I returned to the lake in 1968, 1971, 1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near. My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.” 58．What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him? A．Boys should have a toy boat at childhood. B．People can buy whatever they need. C．Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.

D．The Little Boat That Sailed Through Time. 【答案】58．D 59．C 60．B 61．D 【详解】本文是一篇记叙文，作者回忆了自己与外祖父及一艘自己做的船之间的故事。在母亲出生的山区农场里，外祖父给作者提供工具和原材料，作者制作了一艘船。回美国时，作者把船藏在了大石头下。几次返回时，作者看到了船，也就好像看到了外祖父。船、外祖父与我之间的情愫在一代一代地传承着。 58．推理判断题。根据“he said, ‘No one can give you what you do for yourself.’ The words rang in my head as I worked”可知，外祖父的这句话“没有人能给你你为自己所做的东西”，给作者留下了深刻的印象，这也是外祖父想要教给作者的。故选D。 59．细节理解题。根据“I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before”可知，虽然姥爷22年前去世了，但是“我”感到“我们”三个又在一起了。可以推测出“我们三个”指的是船，姥爷和“我”。故选C。 60．推理判断题。根据“Grandpa, someday I’ll come back... And I’ll bring my children”可知，克莱尔明白了小船的意义是一种情感的羁绊与传承，故选B。 61．标题归纳题。文中的小船不是一艘简单的小船，它有着作者姥爷的影子，看到小船就看到了作者的姥爷，而且这种感情会一代一代地传承下去，所以最适合本文的标题是“穿越时间的小船”，故选D。 八、自然景观阅读——大自然的杰作。 Passage 1 Where can you see auroras (极光)? Iceland? The North Pole? Actually, early this December, sky lovers in cities as south as Beijing could see them, too. They enjoyed the colored lights in the night sky. Auroras come about because of the special activities of the Sun. The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time. But sometimes, it becomes more active and lets out more. The particles travel in space like a wind. When they come near Earth, they go around it. This is because the magnetic field (磁场) of Earth “protects” us from the “Wind”. At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air. Then, the particles get “excited” and have a “dance” with the air. So, we can see the moving auroras in the sky. When the “wind” is strong enough, the auroras can cover larger areas. While we feel wowed by the beautiful lights, we often ask, “Do auroras hurt us?” The answer is no. Auroras don’t hurt people’s health. But for astronauts (宇航员) in space, they need to use special ways to protect themselves from them, said Xinhua. For example, they won’t go on spacewalks when there are “sun storms”. Also, the particle storms may stop some satellites (卫星) from working, so they may bring trouble to the GPS on our smartphones. 62．Where are small particles from? A．The Sun. B．The North Pole. C．The South Pole. D．Seas. 63．How do auroras form? A．The Sun sends out active particles. B．Particles from the Sun “dance” with the air on Earth. C．The strong wind helps them travel in space. D．The magnetic field of Earth changed small particles. 64．What can we learn about “sun storms” from the last paragraph? A．“Sun storms” will kill astronauts. B．People can enjoy “sun storms” in the night sky. C．“Sun storms” can stop GPS work well. D．“Sun storms” will cause more sun activities. 65．Where can we probably read this passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a diary. D．In a comic book. 【答案】62．A 63．B 64．C 65．B 【详解】本文主要介绍了一些关于极光的科普知识。 62．细节理解题。根据“The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time.”可知小粒子来自太阳。故选A。 63．细节理解题。根据“At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air. Then, the particles get ‘excited’ and have a ‘dance’ with the air. So, we can see the moving auroras in the sky.”可知极光产生于来自太阳的粒子与地球上的空气“共舞”。故选B。 64．细节理解题。根据“Also, the particle storms may stop some satellites (卫星) from working, so they may bring trouble to the GPS on our smartphones.”可知“太阳风暴”可以阻止GPS正常工作。故选C。 65．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了一些关于极光的科普知识，由此推出可能在科学书上读到。故选B。 Passage 2 Did you ever dream of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to buy a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and one of the most amazing is Rainbow Mountain. Rainbow Mountain, also called Mountain of Seven Colors, lies in the Andes in Cusco. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. It attracts (吸引) lots of tourists every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds, and purples? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it began to melt, the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today. If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. Rain or snow will make the climbing more difficult and the colors will look duller (更暗淡的). The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may prevent you from taking nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first go to Cusco. From the city, you can take a two-or-three-hour car ride to Pitumarca. Then you have to make your way to Qesoyuno to start the journey on foot. Once you arrive at the base (大本营), it’s about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This really is the best way, but the trip is very challenging. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain sits at a really high elevation (纬度) about 5,200 meters above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time. 66．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 67．What does the underlined word “melt” mean in Chinese? A．融化 B．熔化 C．蒸发 D．凝固 68．Which of the following is a perfect time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain? A．At noon of a cold day in December. B．On the evening of a rainy day in August. C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D．On the morning of a sunny day in September. 【答案】66．C 67．A 68．D 【详解】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秘鲁的彩虹山。 66．细节理解题。根据第一段“Did you ever dream of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)?”可知，在文章开头，作者先问了一个问题。故选C。 67．词义猜测题。根据第三段“The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it began to melt, the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today.”可知，冰融化而成的水与地下的矿物质混合在一起，形成了你今天看到的许多颜色；据此可以推断，划线单词“melt”是指冰块变成水的过程，即“融化”。故选A。 68．推理判断题。根据“If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. Rain or snow will make the climbing more difficult and the colors will look duller (更暗淡的).”可知，应当在雨雪少的时候去，排除B和C；根据“The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and pleasant weather.”可知，最佳月份是从三月份开始的9个月，也就是三月到十一月，排除A选项；再根据“At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset.”可知，一个九月阳光明媚的早晨是去彩虹山旅行的最佳时间。故选D。 九、热门主题——环境污染与保护 Passage 1 In early November, millions of birds flew through the Yellow River estuary (河口) in Dongying city. With its wonderful climate (气候), the Yellow River estuary is an important stop for these birds on their way to the south. Dongying has taken great action to protect the wetlands and the wildlife in the area. The government is spending more money on water in the wetlands and helping make the air and land better. What’s more, the government has built a center for the area to record and study the information of the weather, water quality, land and the sea. Now people are working hard to protect the living place for birds like cranes, black-billed gulls, and Oriental white storks. The action leads to a growing number of wild animals staying in the city. Now, we can find 373 kinds of birds in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, which is often called an “airport (机场) for avian species”. This year’s birdwatching season activity, which lasts for nearly two months, includes a photo competition, a birdwatching competition and meetings on bird protection. Now Dongying is not only a wonderful place for different kinds of birds, but also a popular attraction for a great number of travelers from all around the world. It is a good example to show that the world would be a better place if humans can care about and learn to live in peace with wildlife. 69．What is Dongying doing to make itself a good living area for birds?

Now, we can find 373 kinds of birds in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, which is often called an ‘airport (机场) for avian species’.”可知，越来越多的野生动物留在城市，所以被称为“鸟类机场”，故选C。 71．主旨大意题。本文介绍东营为保护湿地和野生动物的做法，并且倡议人类能够关心并学会与野生动物和平相处，故选D。 Passage 2 Japan started putting nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the ocean on Aug 24th, 2023. History will never forget this day. A tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (福岛第一核电站) in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors (核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials (放射性物质). Nuclear wastewater (核废水) is different. It’s the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed (处理过的) nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process (过滤程序), and that it doesn’t hurt people’s health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. The materials will in the end hurt people’s health. China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on Aug 24th, 2023. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood. As of Aug 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 72．On Aug 24th 2023, where did Japan start putting nuclear-contaminated water? A．Into the ocean.

C．What countries are doing after Japan’s actions. D．Which countries have stopped eating fish from Japan. 【答案】72．A 73．B 74．C 【详解】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本排放核污染废水相关的信息。 72．细节理解题。根据第一段“Japan started putting nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean on Aug 24th, 2023.”可知，日本将受核污染的水排入海洋。故选A。 73．细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. The materials will in the end hurt people’s health.”可知，核污染水中含有60多种放射性物质，这些材料最终会损害人们的健康。故选B。 74．主旨大意题。通读最后一段可知，此段介绍了日本排放核废水后中国停止进口日本海鲜，俄罗斯和泰国也开始测试日本的海鲜，由此可知此段讲述“日本采取行动后，各国在做的事情”。故选C。 十、热门主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 Passage 1 The six Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou-l4 and Shenzhou-15 missions marked a historic moment on 30 November as they met inside the country’s Tiangong space station. It was the first time that six Chinese were in a space station at the same time and the first in-orbit (轨道内的) gathering of two Chinese crews (乘组). The Shenzhou-15 crew set out on the journey to the Tiangong station on the night of 29 November from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert. They rode a spaceship that was lifted into space by a Long March 2F rocket. At 7:33 a.m. (Beijing Time), the Shenzhou-14 astronauts opened the door of their “space home” to welcome the Shenzhou-15 astronauts. The six then took a group photo to record the great moment. According to the China Manned Space Agency, the two crews stayed together for about five days, and then the Shenzhou-14 crew, who had been in orbit for nearly half a year, returned to a landing site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (内蒙古自治区着陆点). The Shenzhou-15 astronauts will stay in orbit for six months to do a lot of work, such as carrying out spacewalks to mount equipment (安装设备) outside the station, and doing scientific experiments (实验). Following the arrival (到达) of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship, the Tiangong space station has grown much. Tiangong is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years and will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to space officials. It is the 10th crewed space station in the world and one of the two operating stations, along with the International Space Station. Pang Zhihao, a retired researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology said that building and running a manned space station is the most difficult work. “The arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew marked the start of the Tiangong space station’s long-term regular operation.” he added. 75．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

B．More astronauts will be sent to Tiangong in the future. C．China is now working together with foreign astronauts. D．Astronauts of Shenzhou-15 spent more than 24 hours on the journey to the Tiangong Space Station. 【答案】75．D 76．A 77．B 78．B 【详解】本文介绍了神舟14号和神舟15号六名宇航员第一次在天宫空间站相遇，以及天宫空间站的一些情况。 75．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“The six Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou-l4 and Shenzhou-15 missions marked a historic moment on 30 November as they met inside the country’s Tiangong space station.”可知神舟14号和15号的宇航员在天宫空间站见面了。故选D。 76．细节理解题。文中第三段最后一句“The Shenzhou-15 astronauts will stay in orbit for six months to do a lot of work, such as carrying out spacewalks to mount equipment (安装设备) outside the station, and doing scientific experiments.”介绍了神舟14号宇航员的任务；第四段第二句“Tiangong is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years and will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to space officials.”介绍了天宫号的未来计划。最后一段最后一句“‘The arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew marked the start of the Tiangong space station’s long-term regular operation.’ he added.”介绍了神舟15号到达的重要性。分别提到了选项B、C、D。而选项A未提及。故选A。 77．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It is the 10th crewed space station in the world and one of the two operating stations, along with the International Space Station.”可知，目前仅有2个空间站在运行。故选B。 78．推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew marked the start of the Tiangong space station’s long-term regular operation.’ he added.”可知，将来会有更多的宇航员被送进天宫太空站。故选B。 Passage 2 Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe（宇宙）. Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket（火箭）. How does a rocket fly? There is gas（气体）in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky. Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon.Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet（行星）much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space. 79．Scientists have known ________ the moon is. A．how long B．how big C．how old D．how heavy 80．The earth is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the ________. A．moon B．universe C．sun D．space 81．A plane cannot fly to the moon because________. A．the plane must be driven by a man B．there is no gas in the plane C．the plane is not strong enough D．there is no air above 240 kilometres away from the earth 82．The hot gas in the rocket is used for ________. A．keeping the air in the rocket fresh（新鲜的） B．keeping the men in the rocket warm C．cooking food for the men D．making the rocket fly up 83．Several rockets without men in them have flown to________. A．the sun B．another planet of the sun C．the satellites of the sun D．the stars 【答案】79．B 80．A 81．D 82．D 83．B 【详解】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于月球的一些信息。 79．细节理解题。根据“Years ago, they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far it was from the earth.”几年前，他们知道许多关于月球的事情。他们知道它有多大，离地球有多远。所以人们已经知道月球有多大。故选B。 80．细节理解题。根据“The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth.”月球距离地球约38.4万公里。故选A。 81．推理判断题。根据“A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth.”可知，飞机不能飞向月球，因为空气只能到达离地球240公里的地方。所以飞机不能飞去月球是因为没有空气。故选D。 82．细节理解题。根据“When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.”可知，当气体在火箭内部变得非常热时，它会从火箭的末端冲出，从而可以使火箭飞向天空。所以热空气是用于让火箭飞向天空。故选D。 83．推理判断题。根据“Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet（行星）much farther away than the moon.”可知，几枚没有载人的火箭已经飞到了比月球远得多的另一个星球。故选B。 十一、经典主题：人与动植物的和谐相处。 Passage 1 In the wild, wolves with broken legs often face an unlucky fate, waiting to die. Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it. This “act of kindness” led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf? Supporters think that without feeding, the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer. Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected (影响) the lives of bottle-nose dolphins near Bun-bury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets. Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend (依靠) on humans for food, said Dai Qiang, a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them. So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it. 84．What happened to the wolf in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve? A．It died in the end. B．It grew fat and healthy. C．It became someone’s pet. D．Zoo workers saved it. 85．How does human feeding affect bottle-nose dolphins? A．Dolphins become more friendly to humans. B．Dolphins start to know the dangers from humans. C．The dolphins fed by humans die more easily. D．More dolphins choose to find food by themselves. 86．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Everyone should take care of wild animals by themselves. B．The wild animals will never depend on themselves. C．We must feed wild animals at once when they are hungry. D．Humans may get sick if they feed sick wild animals. 87．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．It advises people not to feed wild animals by themselves. B．It shows that it is correct for people to feed wild animals. C．It introduces different wild animals in the Nature Reserve. D．It recommends some ways to protect wild animals. 【答案】84．B 85．C 86．D 87．A 【详解】本文主要讨论了野生动物是否应该被投喂。 84．细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it.”可知，这只狼被喂食后长得又胖又健康。故选B。 85．推理判断题。根据第三段“After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets.”可知，研究表明从船上寻找食物的海豚比自己寻找食物的海豚死亡风险更高，即人类喂养的海豚更容易死亡。故选C。 86．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them.”可知，人类如果喂养生病的野生动物，可能会生病。故选D。 87．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it.”可知，文章建议发现野生动物需要帮助时最好向政府报告，而不是自行喂养它。故选A。 Passage 2 A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs. And I saw that when I told how Cookie, my dog, had saved my life, his eyes were filled with tears (泪水) and he nodded. When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.” “Oh, what a good dog!” He nodded. “I lived in Greenwich Village and I had a dog that I raised and hunted with. When I took part in the Korean War (战争), I was hurt and lost the use of my legs. When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting. He spent the rest of his life by my side. I would be crazy without him. I could sit for hours and talk to him... ” His voice became lower, and his eyes were filled with tears again. “I still miss him very much.” I looked at him and then at the sky. My mind came back to the year of the Korean War. It was winter and the sunshine outside became warmer. I, a lonely 13-year-old child, was sitting next to a dog. The dog wore a card with a name—Ike around his neck. “Your dog,” I said. “Was he named Ike?” With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ” That was why Cookie did not come back to me one day. He had another job, taking care of his sick owner. “Yes,” I said, turning to him. “Your dog saved my life.

And the shorter days make some people feel upset and lazy. They are having the so-called autumn sadness. In worse cases, however, some may suffer from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD． SAD is a type of depression (抑郁症). It mostly starts in the late autumn or early winter and goes away in the spring and summer. People who have SAD oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once liked. They also feel sad and even desperate (绝望的). The reason for SAD is not clear. Johns Hopkins University said that the lack of natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt (打乱) the body clock and the making of hormones (荷尔蒙). This disruption can lead to depression. People with SAD often need medical help. Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way to treat it. Doctors advise patients to get as much sunlight as possible. Light therapy helps to balance (平衡) hormones and get a patient’s life back on track. Also, living a healthy life, like sleeping early, exercising often, and eating well, can help people deal with SAD．According to the National Institute of Mental Health of the US, in most cases (情况), SAD begins in young adulthood (青年时期). So, while studying inside the classroom, don’t forget to get some sunshine outside the classroom when you can! 93．When are people most likely to get SAD in our country? A．In March. B．In June.

Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping. Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question. A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails. These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise. 98．What did ancient humans do in the daytime? Hunt.         Work.          Sit.          Move. A． B． C． D． 99．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Normal work desks. B．Standing computer desks. C．Standing desks. D．Some chairs. 100．The underlined word “colleagues” probably means “_______”.

He freed his country from the control of the United States. Others hated him – there were 638 attempts to murder him. But no one would say that the bearded Castro, who always dressed in green, was not a fighter. In 2008, the 81-year-old president of Cuba (古巴) stepped down, saying that his poor health kept him from leading his country any longer. “Years of fighting against the US have led to it,” said one professor in Cuba. Castro was born in 1926, to a rich family of Cuban sugar planters. Although the young Castro was born into wealth, he himself became a fighter for the poor. At 13, he organized a strike because his father treated his workers badly. In middle school, he helped poor students get meat in their school meals. After college, Castro became a lawyer. He saw that Cuba was “a millionaire’s playground” of rich US businessmen. He made up his mind to help Cuba free itself from US control. In 1959 Castro led a revolution (革命) that brought him to power. Cuba became a socialist (社会主义的) country on the doorstep of the US. Although some tried to kill Castro and the US wouldn’t do business with Cuba – and even tried to invade (侵略) it – Cuba remained a peaceful country. In 2006, Castro became very ill. Although he had left office, this fighter refused to give up. He spent his time writing for newspapers. “I am not saying goodbye to you,” he wrote to Cubans. “But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you.” On Nov 25, 2016, Castro died at the age of 90. 102．What can we learn from Paragraphs 1-3? A．Castro stepped down because he was afraid of being killed. B．Castro’s father was good to his workers. C．Castro gave up fighting to seek peace. D．Castro fought for the poor. 103．Why did Castro become the Cuban president? A．Because his family was rich. B．Because he was a lawyer. C．Because he led a revolution. D．Because US businessmen helped him. 104．What is the correct order of the events of Fidel Castro’s life? He led a revolution. He helped poor students get meat in their meals. He became very ill and later stopped being the president. He organized a strike against his father. He became a lawyer. A． B． C． D． 105．What can we learn from Castro’s words? A．He wanted a job in a company. B．He wanted to have a good rest at home. C．He tried to give up his work for his country. D．He would always try his best to continue his work. 【答案】102．D 103．C 104．C 105．D 【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文章为我们讲述了古巴伟大的领袖Fidel Castro传奇的为祖国奋斗的一生。 102．细节理解题。根据“Although the young Castro was born into wealth, he himself became a fighter for the poor.”可知尽管Castro出生在富裕的家庭，但是他却成为一个为穷人而战斗的人，故选D。 103．细节理解题。根据“In 1959 Castro led a revolution that brought him to power.”可知是1959年他领导了一场革命，这将他推上权力的位置，故选C。 104．细节理解题。根据“At 13, he organized a strike because his father treated his workers badly”“In middle school, he helped poor students get meat in their school meals.”“After college, Castro became a lawyer.”“In 1959 Castro led a revolution”和“In 2006, Castro became very ill.”可知Castro在13岁时组织了抗议他爸爸的罢工，中学时帮助贫穷的学生争取到肉菜，大学毕业后成为一个律师，在1959年领导了革命，2006年病重，故选C。 105．推理判断题。根据“I am not saying goodbye to you”和“But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you”可判断Castro尽量用另一种方式继续为他的祖国，为他祖国的人民贡献力量，故选D。 Passage 2 Jack London, one of America’s major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing. London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting. London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, rancher, factory employee, railroad hobo, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs. London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is a much larger sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In l897, he headed for Alaska. He didn’t find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colourful stories. London resolved to live a full, exciting life. Each day, he pushed himself. Once London decided to be a writer, nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his most famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness.

Once London decided to be a writer, nothing could stop him.”可知London决心过上充实而激动人心的生活。每天，他都在努力。所以resolved和decided“决定”同义，故选B。 十四、经典主题：中华优秀传统文化的学习。 Passage 1 Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒，竹炉汤沸火初红). Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡). However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.” 110．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to? A．Tea. B．China. C．Life. D．Firewood. 111．What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem? A．It was very cold in winter. B．Tea was easier to boil than wine. C．Tea was less expensive than wine. D．It was a custom to welcome friends with tea. 112．When did steep tea become more popular? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．We don’t know about it. 113．What do people usually do before boiling tea in a teapot on a stove? A．They lightly roast tea leaves. B．They have snacks with their hot tea. C．They sit away from the stove to keep safe. D．They wear traditional hanfu and take photos. 114．Why are so many people interested in “stove-boiled” tea? A．To feel much warmer in cold winter. B．To share ideas with others on the Internet. C．To spend more time with their best friends. D．To taste a slower life and find their inner peace. 【答案】110．A 111．D 112．C 113．A 114．D 【详解】本文主要介绍了中国的茶文化以及在年轻人之间流行的“围炉煮茶”。 110．代词指代题。根据“tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.”可知，茶被认为是中国生活的七大必需品之一。如今，它已成为全球公认的人类共同文化瑰宝。所以it指的是茶，故选A。 111．细节理解题。根据“It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads:”可知，作者想告诉我们主人用煮好的茶欢迎来访的客人是中国的传统习俗。故选D。 112．细节理解题。根据“Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡).”可知，泡茶从明朝开始流行起来，故选C。 113．细节理解题。根据“They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea.”可知，他们先把茶叶稍微烤一下，然后把茶叶放在茶壶里，放在装满木炭的炉子上煮。人们在自然环境中围坐在火炉旁，边喝热茶边吃零食。所以在炉子上用茶壶煮茶之前，人们通常会轻轻地烤茶叶。故选A。 114．细节理解题。根据“Through ‘stove-boiled’ tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace.”可知，他们是为了品尝慢节奏的生活，寻找内心的平静。故选D。 Passage 2 Happy Rain on a Spring Night— Du Fu Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring.         With wind it steals in night;           Mute, it moistens each thing.          Over wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. （Translated by Xu Yuanchong） Note: steal 偷偷移动； moisten 使……润湿;  lane 小路； spread 扩散，传播；loom 逼近；bloom (常指供观赏的)花            This famous poem, with four couplets(诗句的“联”), was written by Du Fu（712—770, Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene（景象）to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain. 115．The underlined phrase (划线的短语) “as if” most probably (有可能) means “________”. A．仿佛 B．即使 C．然而 D．因此 116．Which of the following rhymes (韵律) are right for this poem？ A．aa﹣bb﹣cc﹣dd B．ab﹣ab﹣cd﹣cd C．ab﹣cd﹣ab﹣cd D．ab - ba - cd - dc 117．Which word can describe the rain best in this poem？ A．Busy B．Heavy C．Quiet D．Terrible 118．Which of the following uses “personification”？ A．It will fall when comes spring. B．With wind it steals in night. C．In boat a lantern looms. D．The town’s heavy with blooms. 【答案】115．A 116．B 117．C 118．B 【详解】本文主要介绍了杜甫的诗歌《春夜喜雨》并进行了赏析。 115．词义猜测题。根据“Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season”可知这里诗人用了拟人的手法，雨似乎很聪明，能够赶上农忙时节，故此处as if的意思是“似乎，仿佛”。故选A。 116．推理判断题。根据诗歌内容可知，right和night押韵，spring和thing押韵，spreads和reds押韵，looms和blooms押韵，从中可知本首诗的押韵方式是ab-ab-cd-cd。故选B。 117．推理判断题。根据“When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise”可知当春雨来临时，它通常是在夜间，而且没有制造噪音，可推知春雨非常安静。故选C。 118．推理判断题。拟人指把事物人格化，根据四个选项的内容可知，B选项的steal“偷偷移动”用了拟人的修辞，即“随风潜入夜”运用了拟人的手法。故选B。 十五、中外文化的交流与碰撞——去粗取精，扩展视野。 Passage 1 During the winter solstice (冬至), the sun is at its lowest in the sky. It is also the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the northern hemisphere (半球), the winter solstice is on 21 or 22 December. It is the middle of winter, so it is also called “Midwinter Day”. After this day, the nights will begin to get shorter and the days will begin to get longer. For thousands of years, people celebrated this day as the last festival before deep winter set in. Winter was always a dangerous time for our ancestors (祖先). They were always scared, because they might not have enough food to live through the winter. Midwinter Day is still an important festival in many northern countries today. In Scandinavia, people used to believe that the sun goddess flew through the sky and made the plants grow again. This is very important, as people in Scandinavia need the grass to grow so their reindeer will have food to eat. People cover the doors of their houses with butter for the sun goddess and her daughter to eat during their journey. In China, Japan and Korea, some families celebrate the day by eating rice balls (tangyuan), served in soup. The rice balls are a symbol of reunion (团圆). Families eat them because they wish to stay together and never be apart. In Japan and Korea, these rice balls often contain sweet bean paste. In Scotland, Midwinter Day is actually celebrated on 31 December and is called “Hogmanay”. Of course, it is also the celebration for New Year. The most important tradition is called “first-footing’. This is when you invite a neighbour to be the first person to enter your house in the first minute of the New Year. The neighbour should bring a gift of salt or sweet biscuits. You will have to give them a drink and something to eat in return. 119．When will the nights begin to get shorter in the northern hemisphere? A．In the middle of winter. B．Before the winter solstice. C．During the winter solstice. D．After the winter solstice. 120．How do people in Scandinavia celebrate “Midwinter Day”? A．Eating rice balls and wishing to stay together. B．Asking the sun goddess to give grass to their reindeer to eat. C．Covering their doors with butter for the sun goddess and her daughter. D．Inviting a neighbour to come to their house in the first minute of the New Year. 121．What may be the best title for the passage? A．The history of the winter solstice B．The importance of the winter solstice C．Different foods for the winter solstice D．Different celebrations for the winter solstice 【答案】119．D 120．C 121．D 【详解】本文介绍了冬至以及世界各地的人们庆祝冬至的风俗习惯。 119．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“After this day, the nights will begin to get shorter and the days will begin to get longer.”可知，在冬至这天之后北半球的夜晚开始变短。故选D。 120．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“People cover the doors of their houses with butter for the sun goddess and her daughter to eat during their journey.”可知，那里的人们会在家门上涂抹黄油，供奉太阳女神和她的女儿。故选C。 121．标题归纳题。根据第二段“For thousands of years, people celebrated this day as the last festival before deep winter set in. ”可知本文介绍了冬至以及世界各地的人们庆祝冬至的风俗习惯，D选项“冬至的不同庆祝方式”符合文章标题。故选D。 Passage 2 Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What’s their personality like? Are they brave, strong and determined? If so, then they are a typical “tiger”. In Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the king of all animals. They stand for power, energy and protection. Tigers are seen as fearless animals, so that’s why in China you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of houses and temples to ward off (抵御) danger and disasters. Tigers have an important cultural meaning not just in China, but across Asia where they live in the wild. For example, in South Korea, the animal is a symbol of justice, humanity and righteousness in local folk tales. In the West, tigers are also seen as powerful animals. And we often use “tiger” in English. If we say someone “works like a tiger”, we mean he or she works hard. If you want someone to calm down, you can say to them “easy, tiger”. Another famous phrase is “eye of the tiger”, which means having strength. There are also some other phrases about tigers, such as “a tiger can’t change its stripes”, “paper tiger” and “have a tiger by the tail”. 122．What’s a typical “tiger” like according to the passage? A．Smart and brave. B．Brave and strong. C．Strong and outgoing. D．Determined and friendly. 123．If we want someone to calm down, we can say “________”.

A．Tigers in different cultures B．Tigers in different phrases C．Tigers—the king of all animals D．Tigers—the cultural symbol in China 【答案】122．B 123．C 124．A 【详解】本文主要介绍了老虎在不同文化中的意义。 122．细节理解题。根据“What’s their personality like? Are they brave, strong and determined? If so, then they are a typical ‘tiger’.”可知一只典型的“老虎”是勇敢、坚强和坚定的。故选B。 123．细节理解题。根据“If you want someone to calm down, you can say to them ‘easy, tiger’”可知如果你想让某人冷静下来，你可以对他们说“easy, tiger”。故选C。 124．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了老虎在不同文化中的意义，以选项A“不同文化中的老虎”为标题最合适。故选A。 试卷第2页，共3页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 期末培优二：阅读理解分类精练（十五大类） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 考点目录 一、近几年超高频主题：文学名著类——快乐阅读，快乐成长。 1 二、日常活动——贴近生活的高频考点。 5 三、志愿服务类—服务社会，实现个人价值。 7 四、艺术类：人类智慧的结晶。 10 五、体育竞技——不畏困难，勇攀新高峰！ 12 六、历史人物与故事——博古方能通今！ 14 七、永恒主题：叙事类——成长的苦与乐。 16 八、自然景观阅读——大自然的杰作。 18 九、热门主题——环境污染与保护 20 十、热门主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 22 十一、经典主题：人与动植物的和谐相处。 25 十二、热点主题——健康生活类：健康饮食，适量运动。 27 十三、著名人物类——学习的榜样。 29 十四、经典主题：中华优秀传统文化的学习。 32 十五、中外文化的交流与碰撞——去粗取精，扩展视野。 35 一、近几年超高频主题：文学名著类——快乐阅读，快乐成长。 Passage 1 Resting my head on Helen’s shoulder, I put my arms round her waist (腰).

Passage 3 “That is so unfair (不公平)!” Holly angrily threw down her napkin and jumped up from the table. “Sit down and finish your dinner,” her mother said. “No way!” said Holly. Her face was red, her eyes flashing. “Don’t talk to your mother like that,” said her father. He was angry, too. Her sister Sophie looked down at her plate and smiled a secret little smile. Holly walked towards the door. Her father stood up. “Where are you going?” he asked. Holly looked back from the open door. “I’m leaving.” “What do you mean, leaving?” “I’m not staying her another minute. I’m leaving home!” And with that, Holly walked quickly out and noisily shut the door behind her. “Come back in here!” her father shouted. But Holly didn’t come back. They heard her footsteps banging up the stairs. “This is ridiculous!” he said loudly. Holly’s father was very red in the face. “She’s only thirteen years old!” he said, picking up his knife and fork. “You know what she’s like,” Sophie said, playing with her long blond hair. “She is just protesting (抗议). She always has to protest about something.” “Leaving home!” Her father said, shaking his head. “Don’t worry, Alan,” Holly’s mother Sandra said. “Holly isn’t going anywhere.” And then they heard a door slam. “What was that?” Sandra looked up, surprised. “Was that the front door? Alan!” All three stood up. Alan rushed to the door, but Sophie stopped him. “Relax, Dad,” she said. “Look.” Sophie pointed to the window. They saw Holly walking across the grass to the old oak tree at the end of the garden. She was carrying a rucksack (帆布背包). Her dog Eco was running along beside her. “What on earth is that girl doing?” her father asked. His face was only pink now, but he was still very annoyed. Holly stopped at the bottom of the tree.

It is called Citywalk. People can take a Citywalk on their own or by following a tour guide. They usually don’t go to famous shopping centres. Instead, they go to small shops or restaurants, take a close look at old buildings and know about the history and culture of the city. Many Citywalkers love to share their routes (路线) with others, including how long the walk will take and what beautiful places they will see along the way. It is helpful to others who also want to take a Citywalk. Nan Xi, a girl from Beijing, moved to Shanghai not long ago. One day, when she went online (在线) to find something interesting to do on weekends, she got to know about Citywalk. “I think Shanghai is a wonderful city to take a Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different things. It’s great for friends to walk together and take photos,” she said. She decided to have a try. She had a two-hour Citywalk tour. During the tour, the guide talked about the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “I enjoyed the trip that day. It gave me a better understanding of how Western and local cultures mix together in Shanghai. I can’t wait to take another Citywalk,” she said. Take a Citywalk at weekends! Enjoy the beauty of your city in a new way! 14．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By showing an answer.

It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria（尼日利亚） has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families. Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad. Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school?” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. Ayub was also an orphan（孤儿） and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral（葬礼） said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters. Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s school fees. _______. Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework. Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since（自从） he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park. Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes? Why don’t you study?’” One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said. Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub. Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education.

Passage 2 On the first day of the New Year 2019, I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the country. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months! My journey began with attending TESOL certification course in my home state of New York last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I received my TESOL certificate. I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to explore the country! After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the week­long training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School. I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It’s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life, right in front of you! Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”.

Many traditional woodcuts are printed either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) often show rich colors like Western oil paintings. The reduction woodcuts are famous for their rich colors. On the same piece of wood, the artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order. The artwork was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er city, Yunnan province, in 2009. Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. He started learning the art at college in 2003. He thinks that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an amazing journey. “Every time we cut a model on the woodblock and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful models layer by layer, he gets more excited. But finishing such work is not easy. Before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng hopes his artwork can show not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life. “My works have two series (系列). One is called the Tea Horse Road, since Pu’er is one of the starting points of that road. The other is the Disappearing Villages.” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding for safety, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” 30．What’s special about the reduction woodcut? A．It has one layer. B．It is colorful. C．It uses a piece of wood. D．It is simple in color. 31．What is the correct order of making reduction woodcuts?

Each person sings a different part of the music. The singers named their group Pentatonix. ▲ . The singers like this name because their group also has five people in it.

At last, Pentatonix won! The group got＄200, 000. They also got a chance to sing music for a company.

Passage 2 “Eco-mermaid” Merle Liivand broke her own world record for swimming with a single fin (鳍) on May 7, 2022. She swam as long as a full marathon in the rough (波涛汹涌的) waters of Biscayne Bay, Florida. She even picked rubbish out of the water as she swam. Ms Liivand was born in Estonia. As a child, she had health problems, and began swimming to make herself stronger. She was soon taking part in open water swimming competitions, sometimes even in cold water. Years ago, Ms Liivand moved to Miami, Florida, where she went on swimming in the sea. In one training class, she nearly swallowed (吞) some plastic on the sea. It made her think of the sea animals that faced similar (相似的) problems every day. She decided to work to make people know more about plastic pollution (塑料污染), which she called a “plastic pandemic”. Thinking about sea animals gave her the idea of swimming like one. She began swimming with a special single swimming fin with both of her feet in it. This rubbery fin allowed her to swim by kicking both of her legs together. “Swimming with the rubbery fin without using my arms is similar to how dolphins and other sea animals swim,” said Ms Liivand. She believed that swimming with a rubbery fin “sent a bigger message”. The water was rough, and she ran into a few problems, but she didn’t stop. She said, “I kept telling myself that it was not the time to cry.” To keep her energy up, a friend followed her in a kayak (皮划艇) and gave her food and water from time to time. Along the way, Ms Liivand picked up all the rubbish she found and put it in the kayak. By the end of her marathon, the kayak had held three bags full of rubbish. 41．What idea did Merle Liivand have when thinking about sea animals? A．Picking up rubbish in the sea.

D．Exciting. 44．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The fastest swimmer from Estonia B．Swimming—a good way of keeping healthy C．Merle Liivand’s special swimming rubbery fin D．Merle Liivand’s swimming to fight plastic pollution 六、历史人物与故事——博古方能通今！ Passage 1 Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time ▲ ; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes, he went to the farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers. The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification, as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known. Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all the flowers bloom after the rain. 45．Which word is the most suitable for ▲ ?

My mother was a dancer and I wanted to be like her, but after making many mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to give up right away. Because it was only my first day, but I told my mom I couldn’t wait to dance again. Several weeks passed and my dancing didn’t get any better. Then my dance teacher told us that we were going to perform in a show. I was afraid of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and made my mom sad. I practiced hard for the show, but I still didn’t get the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mom to tell her how I felt. She just laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet. My mom quickly found out how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be. The music began and my heart started to beat quickly. Breathing calmly, I began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed with excitement. My mom found me and gave me a huge hug, telling me how proud she was. I looked my mom in the eye and told her that there was no way this could have happened without her.

As a boy, I always thought people bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you.” I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail (航行) it at Storvassdal,” he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none. Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them correctly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal. We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassal. I said goodbye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again. In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before. I carved (雕刻) “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back. I returned to the lake in 1968, 1971, 1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near. My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.” 58．What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?

Actually, early this December, sky lovers in cities as south as Beijing could see them, too. They enjoyed the colored lights in the night sky. Auroras come about because of the special activities of the Sun. The Sun sends out very small particles (粒子) all the time. But sometimes, it becomes more active and lets out more. The particles travel in space like a wind. When they come near Earth, they go around it. This is because the magnetic field (磁场) of Earth “protects” us from the “Wind”. At the North and South Poles, however, some particles may get in and meet with Earth’s air. Then, the particles get “excited” and have a “dance” with the air. So, we can see the moving auroras in the sky. When the “wind” is strong enough, the auroras can cover larger areas. While we feel wowed by the beautiful lights, we often ask, “Do auroras hurt us?” The answer is no. Auroras don’t hurt people’s health. But for astronauts (宇航员) in space, they need to use special ways to protect themselves from them, said Xinhua. For example, they won’t go on spacewalks when there are “sun storms”. Also, the particle storms may stop some satellites (卫星) from working, so they may bring trouble to the GPS on our smartphones. 62．Where are small particles from? A．The Sun. B．The North Pole. C．The South Pole. D．Seas. 63．How do auroras form? A．The Sun sends out active particles. B．Particles from the Sun “dance” with the air on Earth. C．The strong wind helps them travel in space. D．The magnetic field of Earth changed small particles. 64．What can we learn about “sun storms” from the last paragraph? A．“Sun storms” will kill astronauts. B．People can enjoy “sun storms” in the night sky. C．“Sun storms” can stop GPS work well. D．“Sun storms” will cause more sun activities. 65．Where can we probably read this passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a diary. D．In a comic book. Passage 2 Did you ever dream of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to buy a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and one of the most amazing is Rainbow Mountain. Rainbow Mountain, also called Mountain of Seven Colors, lies in the Andes in Cusco. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. It attracts (吸引) lots of tourists every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds, and purples? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it began to melt, the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today. If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. Rain or snow will make the climbing more difficult and the colors will look duller (更暗淡的). The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may prevent you from taking nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first go to Cusco. From the city, you can take a two-or-three-hour car ride to Pitumarca. Then you have to make your way to Qesoyuno to start the journey on foot. Once you arrive at the base (大本营), it’s about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This really is the best way, but the trip is very challenging. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain sits at a really high elevation (纬度) about 5,200 meters above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time. 66．How does the writer start the passage?

With its wonderful climate (气候), the Yellow River estuary is an important stop for these birds on their way to the south. Dongying has taken great action to protect the wetlands and the wildlife in the area. The government is spending more money on water in the wetlands and helping make the air and land better. What’s more, the government has built a center for the area to record and study the information of the weather, water quality, land and the sea. Now people are working hard to protect the living place for birds like cranes, black-billed gulls, and Oriental white storks. The action leads to a growing number of wild animals staying in the city. Now, we can find 373 kinds of birds in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, which is often called an “airport (机场) for avian species”. This year’s birdwatching season activity, which lasts for nearly two months, includes a photo competition, a birdwatching competition and meetings on bird protection. Now Dongying is not only a wonderful place for different kinds of birds, but also a popular attraction for a great number of travelers from all around the world. It is a good example to show that the world would be a better place if humans can care about and learn to live in peace with wildlife. 69．What is Dongying doing to make itself a good living area for birds? A．It’s studying the information of nature. B．It’s stopping people from watching birds. C．It’s inviting more tourists from around the world. D．It’s making the temperature warmer. 70．What does the underlined phrase “avian species” probably mean in this passage? A．foreigners B．tourists C．birds D．planes 71．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Birdwatching—a new travel B．Different kinds of birds C．The importance of birdwatching D．Bird protection in Dongying Passage 2 Japan started putting nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the ocean on Aug 24th, 2023. History will never forget this day. A tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (福岛第一核电站) in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors (核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials (放射性物质). Nuclear wastewater (核废水) is different. It’s the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed (处理过的) nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process (过滤程序), and that it doesn’t hurt people’s health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. The materials will in the end hurt people’s health. China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on Aug 24th, 2023. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood. As of Aug 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 72．On Aug 24th 2023, where did Japan start putting nuclear-contaminated water? A．Into the ocean. B．Into the river. C．In the huge box. D．In the bottle. 73．What might happen when the nuclear-contaminated water comes into the ocean? A．Human DNA might be changed. B．It might be bad for human health. C．We might have new kinds of seafood. D．It might bring good things for seawater. 74．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The foods from Japan are safe. B．Japan’s actions to sell their seafood. C．What countries are doing after Japan’s actions. D．Which countries have stopped eating fish from Japan. 十、热门主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 Passage 1 The six Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou-l4 and Shenzhou-15 missions marked a historic moment on 30 November as they met inside the country’s Tiangong space station. It was the first time that six Chinese were in a space station at the same time and the first in-orbit (轨道内的) gathering of two Chinese crews (乘组). The Shenzhou-15 crew set out on the journey to the Tiangong station on the night of 29 November from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert. They rode a spaceship that was lifted into space by a Long March 2F rocket. At 7:33 a.m. (Beijing Time), the Shenzhou-14 astronauts opened the door of their “space home” to welcome the Shenzhou-15 astronauts. The six then took a group photo to record the great moment. According to the China Manned Space Agency, the two crews stayed together for about five days, and then the Shenzhou-14 crew, who had been in orbit for nearly half a year, returned to a landing site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (内蒙古自治区着陆点). The Shenzhou-15 astronauts will stay in orbit for six months to do a lot of work, such as carrying out spacewalks to mount equipment (安装设备) outside the station, and doing scientific experiments (实验). Following the arrival (到达) of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship, the Tiangong space station has grown much. Tiangong is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years and will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to space officials. It is the 10th crewed space station in the world and one of the two operating stations, along with the International Space Station. Pang Zhihao, a retired researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology said that building and running a manned space station is the most difficult work. “The arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew marked the start of the Tiangong space station’s long-term regular operation.” he added. 75．What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A．The Shenzhou-14 crew left Tiangong space station. B．The Shenzhou-15 crew would be in orbit for five days. C．The Shenzhou-15 crew had been in orbit for six months. D．Two Shenzhou crews met in Tiangong space station. 76．Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the text? A．The selection process(选拔过程) of the Shenzhou-15 crew. B．The Tiangong space station’s future plans. C．The Shenzhou-15 astronauts’ work. D．The importance of the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew. 77．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Astronauts of Shenzou-14 lived in Tiangong for exactly six months. B．There are only two space stations in operation(在运行的) at present. C．Tiangong has been in orbit for nearly 10 years now. D．The Shenzhou-15 crew landed on Inner Mongolia autonomous region. 78．What can be inferred(推理) from the passage? A．Astronauts of Shenzou-14 returned to the earth on 30 November. B．More astronauts will be sent to Tiangong in the future. C．China is now working together with foreign astronauts. D．Astronauts of Shenzhou-15 spent more than 24 hours on the journey to the Tiangong Space Station. Passage 2 Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe（宇宙）. Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket（火箭）. How does a rocket fly? There is gas（气体）in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky. Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon.Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet（行星）much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space. 79．Scientists have known ________ the moon is. A．how long B．how big C．how old D．how heavy 80．The earth is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the ________. A．moon B．universe C．sun D．space 81．A plane cannot fly to the moon because________.

A．the sun B．another planet of the sun C．the satellites of the sun D．the stars 十一、经典主题：人与动植物的和谐相处。 Passage 1 In the wild, wolves with broken legs often face an unlucky fate, waiting to die. Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it. This “act of kindness” led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf? Supporters think that without feeding, the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer. Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected (影响) the lives of bottle-nose dolphins near Bun-bury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets. Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend (依靠) on humans for food, said Dai Qiang, a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them. So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it. 84．What happened to the wolf in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve? A．It died in the end. B．It grew fat and healthy. C．It became someone’s pet. D．Zoo workers saved it. 85．How does human feeding affect bottle-nose dolphins? A．Dolphins become more friendly to humans. B．Dolphins start to know the dangers from humans. C．The dolphins fed by humans die more easily. D．More dolphins choose to find food by themselves. 86．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Everyone should take care of wild animals by themselves. B．The wild animals will never depend on themselves. C．We must feed wild animals at once when they are hungry. D．Humans may get sick if they feed sick wild animals. 87．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．It advises people not to feed wild animals by themselves. B．It shows that it is correct for people to feed wild animals. C．It introduces different wild animals in the Nature Reserve. D．It recommends some ways to protect wild animals. Passage 2 A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs. And I saw that when I told how Cookie, my dog, had saved my life, his eyes were filled with tears (泪水) and he nodded. When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.” “Oh, what a good dog!” He nodded. “I lived in Greenwich Village and I had a dog that I raised and hunted with. When I took part in the Korean War (战争), I was hurt and lost the use of my legs. When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting. He spent the rest of his life by my side. I would be crazy without him. I could sit for hours and talk to him... ” His voice became lower, and his eyes were filled with tears again. “I still miss him very much.” I looked at him and then at the sky. My mind came back to the year of the Korean War. It was winter and the sunshine outside became warmer. I, a lonely 13-year-old child, was sitting next to a dog. The dog wore a card with a name—Ike around his neck. “Your dog,” I said. “Was he named Ike?” With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ” That was why Cookie did not come back to me one day. He had another job, taking care of his sick owner. “Yes,” I said, turning to him. “Your dog saved my life. I met him when you were in the war. He was my best friend and I gave him a new name—Cookie.” 88．Why were the eyes of the old man filled with tears? A．It was cold outside and his legs hurt a lot.

And the shorter days make some people feel upset and lazy. They are having the so-called autumn sadness. In worse cases, however, some may suffer from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD． SAD is a type of depression (抑郁症). It mostly starts in the late autumn or early winter and goes away in the spring and summer. People who have SAD oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once liked. They also feel sad and even desperate (绝望的). The reason for SAD is not clear. Johns Hopkins University said that the lack of natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt (打乱) the body clock and the making of hormones (荷尔蒙). This disruption can lead to depression. People with SAD often need medical help. Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way to treat it. Doctors advise patients to get as much sunlight as possible. Light therapy helps to balance (平衡) hormones and get a patient’s life back on track. Also, living a healthy life, like sleeping early, exercising often, and eating well, can help people deal with SAD．According to the National Institute of Mental Health of the US, in most cases (情况), SAD begins in young adulthood (青年时期). So, while studying inside the classroom, don’t forget to get some sunshine outside the classroom when you can! 93．When are people most likely to get SAD in our country? A．In March. B．In June. C．In July. D．In November. 94．What do people usually do when they have SAD? A．They feel full and stay up late at night. B．They eat more, sleep more and feel sad. C．They eat less and do more exercise. D．They sleep early and live a healthier life. 95．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The changes in the body in autumn and winter. B．The body clock of people with SAD． C．The hormones people need. D．The possible reason for SAD． 96．What does the underlined part mean in the passage? A．Make people feel younger. B．Make people’s lives more colorful. C．Help people get more sunlight. D．Help people become healthy again. 97．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 2 Sitting for hours at a time is dangerous and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping. Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question. A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails. These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise. 98．What did ancient humans do in the daytime? Hunt.         Work.          Sit.          Move. A． B． C． D． 99．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Normal work desks. B．Standing computer desks. C．Standing desks. D．Some chairs. 100．The underlined word “colleagues” probably means “_______”.

A．Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy. B．People should be active both at work and after work. C．Most people spend more time standing than sleeping. D．The best way to communicate with others is to send emails. 十三、著名人物类——学习的榜样。 Passage 1 For some people, Fidel Castro was a hero. He freed his country from the control of the United States. Others hated him – there were 638 attempts to murder him. But no one would say that the bearded Castro, who always dressed in green, was not a fighter. In 2008, the 81-year-old president of Cuba (古巴) stepped down, saying that his poor health kept him from leading his country any longer. “Years of fighting against the US have led to it,” said one professor in Cuba. Castro was born in 1926, to a rich family of Cuban sugar planters. Although the young Castro was born into wealth, he himself became a fighter for the poor. At 13, he organized a strike because his father treated his workers badly. In middle school, he helped poor students get meat in their school meals. After college, Castro became a lawyer. He saw that Cuba was “a millionaire’s playground” of rich US businessmen. He made up his mind to help Cuba free itself from US control. In 1959 Castro led a revolution (革命) that brought him to power. Cuba became a socialist (社会主义的) country on the doorstep of the US. Although some tried to kill Castro and the US wouldn’t do business with Cuba – and even tried to invade (侵略) it – Cuba remained a peaceful country. In 2006, Castro became very ill. Although he had left office, this fighter refused to give up. He spent his time writing for newspapers. “I am not saying goodbye to you,” he wrote to Cubans. “But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you.” On Nov 25, 2016, Castro died at the age of 90. 102．What can we learn from Paragraphs 1-3?

Passage 2 Jack London, one of America’s major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing. London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting. London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, rancher, factory employee, railroad hobo, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs. London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is a much larger sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In l897, he headed for Alaska. He didn’t find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colourful stories. London resolved to live a full, exciting life. Each day, he pushed himself. Once London decided to be a writer, nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his most famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness.

Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒，竹炉汤沸火初红). Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡). However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.” 110．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to? A．Tea. B．China. C．Life. D．Firewood. 111．What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem? A．It was very cold in winter. B．Tea was easier to boil than wine. C．Tea was less expensive than wine. D．It was a custom to welcome friends with tea. 112．When did steep tea become more popular? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．We don’t know about it. 113．What do people usually do before boiling tea in a teapot on a stove? A．They lightly roast tea leaves. B．They have snacks with their hot tea. C．They sit away from the stove to keep safe. D．They wear traditional hanfu and take photos. 114．Why are so many people interested in “stove-boiled” tea? A．To feel much warmer in cold winter. B．To share ideas with others on the Internet. C．To spend more time with their best friends. D．To taste a slower life and find their inner peace. Passage 2 Happy Rain on a Spring Night— Du Fu Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring.         With wind it steals in night;           Mute, it moistens each thing.          Over wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. （Translated by Xu Yuanchong） Note: steal 偷偷移动； moisten 使……润湿;  lane 小路； spread 扩散，传播；loom 逼近；bloom (常指供观赏的)花            This famous poem, with four couplets(诗句的“联”), was written by Du Fu（712—770, Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene（景象）to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain. 115．The underlined phrase (划线的短语) “as if” most probably (有可能) means “________”. A．仿佛 B．即使 C．然而 D．因此 116．Which of the following rhymes (韵律) are right for this poem？ A．aa﹣bb﹣cc﹣dd B．ab﹣ab﹣cd﹣cd C．ab﹣cd﹣ab﹣cd D．ab - ba - cd - dc 117．Which word can describe the rain best in this poem？ A．Busy B．Heavy C．Quiet D．Terrible 118．Which of the following uses “personification”？ A．It will fall when comes spring. B．With wind it steals in night. C．In boat a lantern looms. D．The town’s heavy with blooms. 十五、中外文化的交流与碰撞——去粗取精，扩展视野。 Passage 1 During the winter solstice (冬至), the sun is at its lowest in the sky. It is also the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the northern hemisphere (半球), the winter solstice is on 21 or 22 December. It is the middle of winter, so it is also called “Midwinter Day”. After this day, the nights will begin to get shorter and the days will begin to get longer. For thousands of years, people celebrated this day as the last festival before deep winter set in. Winter was always a dangerous time for our ancestors (祖先). They were always scared, because they might not have enough food to live through the winter. Midwinter Day is still an important festival in many northern countries today. In Scandinavia, people used to believe that the sun goddess flew through the sky and made the plants grow again. This is very important, as people in Scandinavia need the grass to grow so their reindeer will have food to eat. People cover the doors of their houses with butter for the sun goddess and her daughter to eat during their journey. In China, Japan and Korea, some families celebrate the day by eating rice balls (tangyuan), served in soup. The rice balls are a symbol of reunion (团圆). Families eat them because they wish to stay together and never be apart. In Japan and Korea, these rice balls often contain sweet bean paste. In Scotland, Midwinter Day is actually celebrated on 31 December and is called “Hogmanay”. Of course, it is also the celebration for New Year. The most important tradition is called “first-footing’. This is when you invite a neighbour to be the first person to enter your house in the first minute of the New Year. The neighbour should bring a gift of salt or sweet biscuits. You will have to give them a drink and something to eat in return. 119．When will the nights begin to get shorter in the northern hemisphere? A．In the middle of winter. B．Before the winter solstice. C．During the winter solstice. D．After the winter solstice. 120．How do people in Scandinavia celebrate “Midwinter Day”? A．Eating rice balls and wishing to stay together. B．Asking the sun goddess to give grass to their reindeer to eat. C．Covering their doors with butter for the sun goddess and her daughter.

What’s their personality like? Are they brave, strong and determined? If so, then they are a typical “tiger”. In Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the king of all animals. They stand for power, energy and protection. Tigers are seen as fearless animals, so that’s why in China you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of houses and temples to ward off (抵御) danger and disasters. Tigers have an important cultural meaning not just in China, but across Asia where they live in the wild. For example, in South Korea, the animal is a symbol of justice, humanity and righteousness in local folk tales. In the West, tigers are also seen as powerful animals. And we often use “tiger” in English. If we say someone “works like a tiger”, we mean he or she works hard. If you want someone to calm down, you can say to them “easy, tiger”.
