Comments like that might be 11 , but they’ re right. Your posture (姿势) can decide how well your body gets used to the stresses on it. If your posture isn’t good enough, your muscles have to 12 to keep you upright by becoming tight. Poor posture does harm to your joints (关节) and ligaments (韧带), 13 the possibility of accidents. Researchers have linked poor posture to scoliosis (脊柱侧弯), tension headaches, and back pain, 14 it isn’t the only cause of them. Posture can even 15 your feelings. So there are a lot of reasons to aim for good posture. Then what does good posture look like? When you look at the spine (脊柱) from the back, all vertebrae (脊椎骨) should appear in a 16 line. From the side, the spine should have three curves (曲线): one at your neck, one at your shoulders, and one at your back. You aren’t 17 with this s-shaped spine. Babies’ spines just have one curve like a “C”. The other curves usually 18 by 12-18 months. These curves help us stay upright and absorb some of the stress from activities like walking and jumping. If they are aligned (排列) 19 , when you’re standing up, you should be able to draw a straight line from a point in front of your shoulders to behind your hip, to the front of your knee, to a few inches in front of your ankle.

Try sleeping on your side with your neck supported and with a pillow between your legs. It’s not 21 to just have good posture. Keeping your muscles and joints moving is extremely important.

If you sit a lot, get up and move around 24 . 25 your muscles will keep them strong enough to support you. And if you’re really worried, check with a doctor.

A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 29．What do we know about microplastics? A．They showed up 20 years ago. B．They are causing more pollution. C．They mainly come from making clothes. D．They are usually about-ID millimeters. 30．Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A．Because they take a long time to break down. B．Because they mainly end up in water. C．Because they are too small to be reused. D．Because they can move fast in the air. 31．What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A．Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B．Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C．Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D．Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 32．What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A．Taking plastic out of the sea. B．Making and using less plastic. C．Governments making laws about it. D．Helping microplastics break down. C Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100,000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day. Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will die, but the others are very badly injured (受伤的), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt! So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike. Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman! 33．What does the underlined phrase “positive effects” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．something good B．something useless C．something useful D．something bad 34．In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should ________. a. stay inside    b. roll up into a ball    c. take shelter under a tree    d. stay away from water A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．abc 35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Lightning is a beautiful but dangerous phenomenon. B．Most people struck by lightning will actually die. C．Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometers per hour. D．A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man. 36．The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph 2 to ________. A．show lightning is very dangerous to human beings B．make the readers want to know more about lightning C．help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence D．prove something surprising, interesting may happen because of lightning D 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. 37．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. 38．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. 39．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. 40．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. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 What’s the secret of successful language learning? We ask two experienced teachers of English for their opinions. Alastair Banton is a teacher at a language school in the UK. 41 Alastair Banton: You must really want to learn the language. It is the most important thing. 42 Imagine yourself using the language confidently, and think “Yes, I can do that.” Then there are other things. 43 Using English is fun. And you have to be realistic (务实的). Learning a language takes time, and you can’t expect to know everything in a few weeks. 44 She has taught English in a secondary school for a number of years. Teresa Pelc says: Motivation (动机) is the most important thing. You have to be ready to read a lot, to listen to the radio, and to watch TV. It is easy to forget new words and new patterns. That’s why we need a teacher to push us. 45 However, learning a language is also very enjoyable—I praise my students for everything they do well. Many students are very successful and speak English better than I. A．You should also believe in yourself. B．He also taught English in Japan. C．Sometimes learning a foreign language is not easy. D．Teresa Pelc is a teacher of English in Poland. E．You need to work hard, but at the same time you need to enjoy it. F．Even the most motivated students need that extra (额外的) push sometimes. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 What do you want to be when you grow up?

Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is an important festival for Chinese people. To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. The Laba Festival is a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The porridge is believed to bring luck and joy. The festival is also the day for people to put garlic (蒜) in vinegar (醋). This Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and in Chinese garlic sounds the same as “calculate”(算). Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, East China’s Anhui Province, eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton. 66．When is the Laba Festival? 67．What does the Laba Festival mean to Chinese people? 68．What is the Laba porridge like? 69．Why did people eat garlic in vinegar in the past? 70．How do you like the Laba Festival?

But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 29．What do we know about microplastics? A．They showed up 20 years ago. B．They are causing more pollution. C．They mainly come from making clothes. D．They are usually about-ID millimeters. 30．Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A．Because they take a long time to break down. B．Because they mainly end up in water. C．Because they are too small to be reused. D．Because they can move fast in the air. 31．What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A．Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B．Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C．Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D．Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 32．What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A．Taking plastic out of the sea. B．Making and using less plastic. C．Governments making laws about it. D．Helping microplastics break down. 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．D 32．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了微塑料的危害以及解决方法。 29．细节理解题。根据“by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now”可知，微塑料正在造成更多污染，故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据“They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years.”可知，微塑料需要很长时间才能分解，故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据第四段“This can be bad for our health.”以及第五段“Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution.”可知，微塑料对人和动物健康有害，故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据最后一段“To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic.”可知，科学家认为应减少塑料的生产和使用，故选B。 C Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100,000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day. Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will die, but the others are very badly injured (受伤的), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt! So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike. Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman! 33．What does the underlined phrase “positive effects” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．something good B．something useless C．something useful D．something bad 34．In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should ________. a. stay inside    b. roll up into a ball    c. take shelter under a tree    d. stay away from water A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．abc 35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Lightning is a beautiful but dangerous phenomenon. B．Most people struck by lightning will actually die. C．Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometers per hour. D．A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man. 36．The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph 2 to ________. A．show lightning is very dangerous to human beings B．make the readers want to know more about lightning C．help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence D．prove something surprising, interesting may happen because of lightning 【答案】33．A 34．C 35．A 36．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了闪电、被闪电击中的一些有趣现象已经如何防止雷击。 33．词句猜测题。根据下文“Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence ( 智力 ) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!”可知，当电流通过他们的大脑时，它偶尔会产生不寻常甚至积极的影响，所以划线词的含义是“积极的影响”。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water.”以及“Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible.”可知，为了在雷雨中保持安全，你应该待在室内、卷成一个球或者远离水。故选C。 35．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena.”可知，闪电是一种美丽但危险的现象。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!”可知，女人说她的智力有很大的提高和一个男人说他再也不会感觉冷，可推断被闪电击中可能会带来了一些令人惊奇的事。故选D。 D 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. 37．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. 38．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. 39．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. 40．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】37．B 38．C 39．D 40．A 【导语】本文主要讨论了野生动物是否应该被投喂。 37．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。 38．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。 39．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。 40．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。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 What’s the secret of successful language learning? We ask two experienced teachers of English for their opinions. Alastair Banton is a teacher at a language school in the UK. 41 Alastair Banton: You must really want to learn the language. It is the most important thing. 42 Imagine yourself using the language confidently, and think “Yes, I can do that.” Then there are other things. 43 Using English is fun.

Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is an important festival for Chinese people. To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. The Laba Festival is a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The porridge is believed to bring luck and joy. The festival is also the day for people to put garlic (蒜) in vinegar (醋). This Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and in Chinese garlic sounds the same as “calculate”(算). Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, East China’s Anhui Province, eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton. 66．When is the Laba Festival? 67．What does the Laba Festival mean to Chinese people? 68．What is the Laba porridge like? 69．Why did people eat garlic in vinegar in the past? 70．How do you like the Laba Festival? (请自拟一句话回答) 【答案】66．It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. 67．It means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. 68．It is a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains. 69．In the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed. 70．I think it is very important in China. 【导语】本文主要介绍了传统节日——腊八节。 66．根据“It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.”可知，腊八节在农历十二月初八。故填It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. 67．根据“To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival.”可知，对于中国人而言，腊八节意味着传统的春节庆祝活动的开始。故填It means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. 68．根据“On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物).”可知，腊八粥是由八种杂粮混合而成的粥。故填It is a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains. 69．根据“While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year ...”可知，在过去，它是用来让人们记住偿还他们借的钱，因为腊八是近一年的结束，在中国大蒜的发音与“计算”相同。故填In the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed. 70．开放性试题，答案不唯一。参考答案为I think it is very important in China. 八、作文（满分20分） 71．假如你是Linda，泗洪阳光中学八年级的学生，你的朋友Nancy计划今年秋天来你家乡参观两天。她发来邮件询问你家乡秋天的天气情况，并请你帮她安排这两天的活动。请你根据下面的提示，给她回一封邮件。 Weather 一年中最好的季节，凉爽，舒适…… The first day 参观洪泽湖湿地（Hongze Lake Wetland），观鸟，了解湿地的重要性。 了解更多动物，保护它们（至少一个理由） The second day 来到我家里，邀朋友聚餐，吃泗洪当地美食，如螃蟹（crab）等，享受美好时光…… Wishes 玩得开心……（自由发挥） 注意： l.根据提示内容，可适当发挥，要求借句通顺、意思连贯； 2.词数90个字左右，标题和开头已给出，不计入总词数。 3.文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 Dear Nancy, I’m happy to know that you will come to my hometown and stay for two days this autumn. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I’m looking forward to your coming.

Comments like that might be 11 , but they’ re right. Your posture (姿势) can decide how well your body gets used to the stresses on it. If your posture isn’t good enough, your muscles have to 12 to keep you upright by becoming tight. Poor posture does harm to your joints (关节) and ligaments (韧带), 13 the possibility of accidents. Researchers have linked poor posture to scoliosis (脊柱侧弯), tension headaches, and back pain, 14 it isn’t the only cause of them. Posture can even 15 your feelings. So there are a lot of reasons to aim for good posture. Then what does good posture look like? When you look at the spine (脊柱) from the back, all vertebrae (脊椎骨) should appear in a 16 line. From the side, the spine should have three curves (曲线): one at your neck, one at your shoulders, and one at your back. You aren’t 17 with this s-shaped spine. Babies’ spines just have one curve like a “C”. The other curves usually 18 by 12-18 months. These curves help us stay upright and absorb some of the stress from activities like walking and jumping. If they are aligned (排列) 19 , when you’re standing up, you should be able to draw a straight line from a point in front of your shoulders to behind your hip, to the front of your knee, to a few inches in front of your ankle. What if your posture isn’t that great? Try redesigning your 20 . Put your screen at or slightly below eye level. Make sure all parts of your body are supported. Try sleeping on your side with your neck supported and with a pillow between your legs. It’s not 21 to just have good posture. Keeping your muscles and joints moving is extremely important. In fact, being still for long periods with good posture can be 22 than regular movement with bad posture. When you do move, move 23 . Keep anything you’ re carrying close to your body. If you sit a lot, get up and move around 24 . 25 your muscles will keep them strong enough to support you. And if you’re really worried, check with a doctor. After all, you really should stand up straight. 11．A．amazing B．encouraging C．annoying D．frightening 12．A．get bigger B．stay longer C．turn better D．work harder 13．A．avoiding B．exploring C．reducing D．increasing 14．A．but B．though C．because D．so 15．A．influence B．control C．manage D．rule 16．A．long B．short C．straight D．curved 17．A．healthy B．born C．comfortable D．right 18．A．happen B．innovate C．develop D．invent 19．A．properly B．clearly C．beautifully D．brilliantly 20．A．environment B．posture C．desk D．bed 21．A．good B．wonderful C．bad D．enough 22．A．more harmful B．more useful C．less useful D．less harmful 23．A．quickly B．slowly C．smartly D．suddenly 24．A．day and night B．now and then C．here and there D．far and near 25．A．owning B．resting C．protecting D．using 三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Cindy is thirteen years old. She had a bad cold and coughed (咳嗽) day and night. So she went to see a doctor. The doctor checked her, and then gave her some cough medicine. Cough Medicine Shake (摇晃) it well before using it. Take it three times each day before meals. Age Dose (药量) Over 14 2 teaspoonfuls (勺) once 8—13 1 teaspoonful once 4—7 1/2 teaspoonful once Not right for children below the age of three. Put it in a cold place. Use it before Dec. 1, 2024. 26．Where should the medicine be kept? A．In a fridge. B．In hot water. C．In wet places. D．In the sun. 27．What should Cindy do before she takes the medicine? A．She should drink some water. B．She should do some exercise. C．She should eat a piece of cake.

D．Bill, a 14-year-old middle school student. B Microplastics (微塑料) are very small. But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 29．What do we know about microplastics? A．They showed up 20 years ago. B．They are causing more pollution. C．They mainly come from making clothes. D．They are usually about-ID millimeters. 30．Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A．Because they take a long time to break down. B．Because they mainly end up in water. C．Because they are too small to be reused. D．Because they can move fast in the air. 31．What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A．Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B．Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C．Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D．Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 32．What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A．Taking plastic out of the sea. B．Making and using less plastic. C．Governments making laws about it. D．Helping microplastics break down. C Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100,000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day. Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will die, but the others are very badly injured (受伤的), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt! So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike. Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman! 33．What does the underlined phrase “positive effects” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．something good B．something useless C．something useful D．something bad 34．In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should ________. a. stay inside    b. roll up into a ball    c. take shelter under a tree    d. stay away from water A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．abc 35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Lightning is a beautiful but dangerous phenomenon. B．Most people struck by lightning will actually die. C．Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometers per hour. D．A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man. 36．The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph 2 to ________. A．show lightning is very dangerous to human beings B．make the readers want to know more about lightning C．help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence D．prove something surprising, interesting may happen because of lightning D 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. 37．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. 38．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. 39．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. 40．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. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 What’s the secret of successful language learning? We ask two experienced teachers of English for their opinions. Alastair Banton is a teacher at a language school in the UK. 41 Alastair Banton: You must really want to learn the language. It is the most important thing. 42 Imagine yourself using the language confidently, and think “Yes, I can do that.” Then there are other things. 43 Using English is fun. And you have to be realistic (务实的). Learning a language takes time, and you can’t expect to know everything in a few weeks. 44 She has taught English in a secondary school for a number of years. Teresa Pelc says: Motivation (动机) is the most important thing. You have to be ready to read a lot, to listen to the radio, and to watch TV. It is easy to forget new words and new patterns. That’s why we need a teacher to push us. 45 However, learning a language is also very enjoyable—I praise my students for everything they do well. Many students are very successful and speak English better than I. A．You should also believe in yourself. B．He also taught English in Japan. C．Sometimes learning a foreign language is not easy. D．Teresa Pelc is a teacher of English in Poland. E．You need to work hard, but at the same time you need to enjoy it. F．Even the most motivated students need that extra (额外的) push sometimes. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher, an engineer, a doctor…They seem to be many people’s dream jobs. After reading Airkir Duliki’s story, you 46 (know) about a job—a train conductor (列车长). 27-year-old Airkir Duliki is China’s first Tajik train conductor. She 47 (grow) up in a village in Xinjiang. Railways (铁路) were not a common thing for people living there in the past. Airkir had her 48 (one) train ride when she went to university in Urumqi, Xinjiang.

A large part of her job is to walk around on the train to help people. 54 she is busy at work, she feels happy to help people. Just like Airkir, if you have a dream, work hard for it and 55 give up, and you can make your dream come true. 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 As a little girl, I was always interested in watching my mum cook meals. But my parents thought I was too young to cook by m 56 , so I didn’t have a chance (机会) to try cooking. Last Sunday was my twelfth b 57 . My mum told me that I could try cooking from that day on. I was so excited that I woke up e 58 than usual the next morning and asked my mum if I could prepare the lunch. My mum smiled and told me to be c 59 with everything. I walked into the kitchen and decided to m 60 chicken and rice. I put two bowls of rice into the rice cooker and a 61 some water. After that, I began to wash onions and potatoes. My mum handed the knife to me and asked me to cut them up. It was difficult at f 62 , but I made it. Then I put the chicken, the onions and potatoes, and some sauce into the pot.

Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is an important festival for Chinese people. To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. The Laba Festival is a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The porridge is believed to bring luck and joy. The festival is also the day for people to put garlic (蒜) in vinegar (醋). This Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and in Chinese garlic sounds the same as “calculate”(算). Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, East China’s Anhui Province, eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton. 66．When is the Laba Festival? 67．What does the Laba Festival mean to Chinese people? 68．What is the Laba porridge like? 69．Why did people eat garlic in vinegar in the past? 70．How do you like the Laba Festival?
