I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials (官员) jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional (偶尔的) deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon (缎带) to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before. （取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《格列佛游记》） 54. How high is the thin rope fixed above the ground? A. 15 meters.

You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied (多样化). It’s called digital learning. Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are three main kinds of digital learning. Apps are software applications (应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two are social networking services, including Weibo and WeChat, and websites. Each one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school. Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is varied. It includes almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources (资源) to learn from. Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don’t master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways. However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you’ve got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes. 58. Three important kinds of digital learning are mentioned in the passage. They are ______. ①Apps ②smartphones ③computers ④websites ⑤mobiles ⑥Weibo and WeChat A. ①②⑥ B. ①④⑥ C. ②③⑤ D. ③④⑤ 59.

But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out. He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts. Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (挑战的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand. 62. What do people think of Gordon’s hobby when people first meet it? A. Unusual. B. Useful. C. Interesting. D. Traditional. 63. For Gordon, the most difficult step that he wanted to learn was ________. A. to shape the bottle like a ship B. to paint the layer of putty like the sea C. to get the ship through the neck of the bottle D. to put the layer of putty into the bottle 64. Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon’s work? A. B. C. D. 65. Gordon’s new plan is more challenging because he will ________. A. make an aircraft carrier B. build more than one hundred ships C. put a bigger model ship inside the bottle D. build a bigger model ship inside the bottle 【答案】62. A 63. C 64. B 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了Gordon Williams的特殊的业余爱好——将模型船放进旧瓶子里。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time.”可知，人们第一次看到Gordon Williams的爱好会觉得奇怪，同义词是unusual“不同寻常的“。故选A。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle.”可知，他想知道手艺人如何将船穿过细细的瓶颈的，由此推断，这是他想学的最难的一个步骤。故选C。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.”可知，最后一步是用一个又长又细的工具升起桅杆。故选B。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers.”可知，Gordon将要建造更大的模型船放入瓶子中去。故选D。 第二部分 非选择题（60分） 五、语法填空（共15小题，每小题1分，计15分） 根据短文内容及所提供的单词或中文，在空格处填入适当形式使短文完整，词数不限。 Traveling is one of the ___66___ (important) activities.

They can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone. What can they be? Right, the answer is chilies. Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but do you know that this spicy (辣的) vegetable could also be very dangerous? A 34-year-old US man lost his life in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili. After taking just one bite, the man began to get serious headaches in the following days, reported by BBC News. In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people eat this vegetable? What makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced (被影响) by natural chemicals (化学物质) that produce “a sense of happiness”. That means chili makes them happy. And chilies do good to people in another way. A study shows that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This makes people eat more spicy food to make their health better. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are really good for us. 81. What are chilies like? ___________________________________ 82. Who enjoys adding chilies to food? ___________________________________ 83. What happened to the man after eating the spiciest chili? ___________________________________ 84. How is the human body influenced? ___________________________________ 85. Will you eat chili or spicy food? Why? ___________________________________ 【答案】81. They have different colors and shapes. 82. Most Chinese./Most people in China./Most of us in China. 83. He lost his life./He died. 84. By natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”. 85. Yes, because they can make me healthy.(答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了吃辣椒的好处和坏处。 【81题详解】 根据第一段“They can have different colours and shapes.”可知，辣椒有不同的颜色和形状，故填They have different colours and shapes. 【82题详解】 根据第二段“Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food.”可知，中国人喜欢在食物里放辣椒，故填Most Chinese./Most people in China./Most of us in China. 【83题详解】 根据第二段“A 34-year-old US man lost his life in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper”可知，该名男子因吃辣椒而丧命，故填He lost his life./He died. 【84题详解】 根据“The human body is influenced (被影响) by natural chemicals (化学物质) that produce ‘a sense of happiness’.”可知，人们的身体被自然化学物质影响，产生一种幸福感。故填By natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”. 【85题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, because they can make me healthy. 七、缺词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词，使短文完整，每空一词。 Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and stopped to show Colin something from time to time.

B One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjoyed by him, his family, and his lords and ladies. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials (官员) jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional (偶尔的) deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon (缎带) to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before. （取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《格列佛游记》） 54. How high is the thin rope fixed above the ground? A. 15 meters.

C How do you study every day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied (多样化). It’s called digital learning. Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are three main kinds of digital learning. Apps are software applications (应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two are social networking services, including Weibo and WeChat, and websites. Each one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school. Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is varied. It includes almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources (资源) to learn from. Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don’t master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways. However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you’ve got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes. 58. Three important kinds of digital learning are mentioned in the passage. They are ______. ①Apps ②smartphones ③computers ④websites ⑤mobiles ⑥Weibo and WeChat A. ①②⑥ B. ①④⑥ C. ②③⑤ D. ③④⑤ 59.

You have to use both computers and smartphones. C. You can’t choose what you want to learn by yourself. D. It’s impossible to learn from the newest resources. 61. What’s the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. D Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out. He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts. Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (挑战的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand. 62. What do people think of Gordon’s hobby when people first meet it? A. Unusual. B. Useful. C. Interesting. D. Traditional. 63. For Gordon, the most difficult step that he wanted to learn was ________. A. to shape the bottle like a ship B. to paint the layer of putty like the sea C to get the ship through the neck of the bottle D. to put the layer of putty into the bottle 64. Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon’s work? A. B. C. D. 65. Gordon’s new plan is more challenging because he will ________.

They can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone. What can they be? Right, the answer is chilies. Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but do you know that this spicy (辣的) vegetable could also be very dangerous? A 34-year-old US man lost his life in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili. After taking just one bite, the man began to get serious headaches in the following days, reported by BBC News. In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people eat this vegetable? What makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced (被影响) by natural chemicals (化学物质) that produce “a sense of happiness”. That means chili makes them happy. And chilies do good to people in another way. A study shows that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This makes people eat more spicy food to make their health better. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are really good for us. 81. What are chilies like? ___________________________________ 82. Who enjoys adding chilies to food? ___________________________________ 83.
