【答案】BACCD BBDBC
【解析】这篇文章讲述林同学尝试将香蕉和冬枣一起吃,看是否好吃的实验。揭示即使不是科学家也能做实验并从中获得乐趣和新知识。
1. B. 根据下文 “An expert said that the mix of winter jujube skin and banana tastes like a bug (臭虫). Also, the bananas give off an unpleasant smell.”(一位专家说冬枣皮和香蕉的混合尝起来像臭虫。而且,香蕉散发出难闻的气味),可知这种组合是糟糕的,“sweet”(甜的)、“fresh”(新鲜的)、“delicious”(美味的)都不符合语境,所以选 B. terrible 。
2. A.“bring...to...” 是一个常用的短语,表示 “把…… 带到……;把…… 引入……”。在这里 “Lin also brought this experiment to our English class.” 的意思是 “林也把这个实验带到我们的英语课堂上”。,A 选项 “brought”(带来)、B 选项 “provided”(提供)、C 选项 “led”(引导)“play” 表示 “玩;演奏;扮演” 。根据题意选答案A
3. C “take turns” 是固定短语 “轮流” 的意思。A 选项 “change”(改变)、B 选项 “class”(班级;课)、D 选项 “place”(地方)与 “take” 搭配都不是 “轮流” 的意思,所以选 C. turn 。
4. C “invite” 表示 “邀请”,“invite sb. to do sth.”(邀请某人做某事),在这里 “Lin 邀请三个学生到讲台去尝试这个奇怪的组合” 是比较合理的,符合正常的语言情境。答案选C
5. D 根据语境,周老师也参加这次实验。A came up with提出,想出、B .stood up for支持,维护、C .end up with 以…… 结束 D 选项 took part in参加,所以选 D。
6. B. 句意:一个学生尝试了,迅速跑进了厕所。A .clearly清晰地、B quickly快速地、C . actively积极地.D .carefully仔细地. quickly能说明这种混合难吃。符合语境。答案选B
7. B。句意:另一个学生也尝试这个混合物,使人吃惊的是,他喜欢。A hated讨厌、B liked喜欢、C。noticed 注意到,D ,felt感觉。答案选B
8. D. 根据 “We had great 8.________ to do the experiment.”我们带着极大的 8.________ 去做实验,“curiosity”(好奇心)符合做实验的心态,A 选项 “excitement”(兴奋)、B 选项 “disappointment”(失望)、C 选项 “pleasure”(快乐)都不如好奇心更贴合做实验的初衷,所以选 D. curiosity 。
9. B. 根据句子 After reading the passage, I 9.________ why the combination is so terrible.读完文章后,我 9.________ 为什么这种组合如此糟糕,这里表达的是一种疑惑的感觉,wonder 想知道,疑惑,而 remember记得、learn学习到、explain解释都不符合句子语境。所以这里应填 wondered。
10. C. 根据前句 “Who says only scientists can do experiments?谁说只有科学家能做实验?以及后文 In this experiment, we had fun and gained (收获) new knowledge.在这个实验中,我们获得了乐趣并收获了新知识。可知,这里表达的是我们都像是小科学家一样,expert更侧重于专家,teacher教师和 inventor发明家。都不太符合语境。所以这里应填 scientists。

Passage 3(2023-24年·广州实验中学期末)

Passage 1(2023-24年·广州海珠区期末)
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I paid no attention to my family or my surroundings.
So, you can imagine what a(an) 16 feeling I had when I learned that my dad had planned a family vacation for us. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going 17 !”
When we arrived at the campsite, I found that my phone no longer had service.
“What’s the matter?” I asked.
My dad said he 18 a place without cell service, and my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for a week with no way to 19 the outside world! It drove me mad! On the first night of the trip, I went to bed 20 . But when I awoke in the morning, something 21 .
Instead of burying myself in my phone, my eyes were fixed on something else: my surroundings. I began to 22 the beauty of nature. There were so many things to be discovered: flowers, birds, and other amazing animals. My anger turned to peace, finally, excitement. I felt 23 as I got so close to the nature. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun 24 . I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after failing several times. We cooked together and I ate the freshest fish I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life which I had never heard. When the vacation came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my 25 once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. What mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. This is exactly the gift I need.

Passage 2(2023-24年·广州广雅中学三模)
Life at Cambridge was exciting for Charles. Then bug-collecting was a 16 activity among the students there. They would spend a lot of time looking for insects and hold competitions to see who could find the most 17 bugs! Bug-mad Charles soon became one of these “collectors”.
18 , while looking for bugs, Charles found a dead tree—a great place to look for new insects! He pulled away some of its bark (树皮) and found a very beautiful bug, which he caught with one hand. He then found another, and caught it in his other hand. That was 19 he saw a very unusual bug running around.
Thinking quickly, he put one of the insects he was holding into his 20 so he could catch the new one. In a second, he realized he had made a big 21 —the bug in his mouth let out some sour juice that made him spit (吐) it out. In a cough, he 22 all three bugs and had to start looking all over again! He couldn’t help but laugh at what had happened: how amazing! It also gave him a great idea: why not 23 a club where he and his friends could taste other unusual things?
Charles set up the Glutton Club to share his interest in 24 strange creatures. The members would serve different insects and then compare their tastes to see which tasted best.
The boy who loved bugs never lost his interest in 25 the secrets of nature. He would go on to have many exciting adventures and discover many amazing things.

Passage 3(2023-24年·广州实验中学期末)
Once a daughter complained to her father that her life was painful and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling (斗争) all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.
Her father, a cook, took her to the 16 . He filled three pots with water and put each on a high fire. When the three pots began to boil, he put potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans (咖啡豆) in the third one.
The daughter sighed and 17 waited, thinking about what he was doing. After twenty minutes, he 18 the burners (火炉).
He took the potatoes out of the pot and put them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and put them in another bowl. He then put the coffee into a cup. Turning to her, he asked, “Daughter, what do you see?”
“Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she replied quickly.
“Look closer.” he said, “and 19 the potatoes.” She did and found that they were soft.
He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she saw the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its rich and pleasant smell brought a(n) 20 to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same “bad luck”—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong and hard, but in boiling water, it became soft and 21 .
The egg was easily broken, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the 22 of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and 23 something new.
“Which one are you?” he asked his daughter. “When bad luck knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?”
Moral of the story:
In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the 24 thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it and what you make out of it. Life is all about learning, adapting (适应) and changing all the struggles into something 25 .

The next morning, the expert put a jade(玉) stone in the boy’s hand and told him, “Hold it!” The expert then went about his business cutting, weighing and setting gems. The boy felt a bit 18 , but he said nothing. He just sat 19 and waited.

On the sixth day, the boy held the jade stone, but could no longer stand the silence. “Sir”, he said, “when am I going to learn something?”
“You’ll learn.” the expert replied and went about his business. The boy had to 21 sitting quietly and waited.
Several more days went by and the boy felt more and more 22 .
One morning, as the expert came and asked him to 23 his hand, he was about to say that he could no longer go on. But as the expert put the stone in the boy’s hand, he shouted loudly without looking at his hand, “This is not the 24 jade stone!”

Passage 6(2023-24年·广州黄埔期末)
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own effort.
I learned this lesson from a(n) 16 many years ago. I worked as a new football coach (教练) at a university in State of Georgia.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team in the club to play against a 17 team at the end of the term. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I helped them practice once a week and I thought we were sure to 18 , but to my surprise, we lost the game. I could 19 believe that I had got into such a situation. After thinking hard about it, I came to realize that I might be too 20 about ourselves. I had to change my attitude (态度) and the way of training.
Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 21 them. I started doing anything I could to help them. That summer, when other teams 22 their holidays, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.
Six months later, we won our first game and our second, and continued to head in. Finally, I thought even if we lost the game, it would still be a 23 for us. But that didn’t happen. My boys beat the best team in the state, giving me one of the 24 memories of my life!
