He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried.  Curiosity got the better of Andy, so he spoke to the farmer. “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat?” Andy asked. The farmer slowly shook his head. His face was marked with worry as he spoke, “I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There’s a chance it won’t sprout (发芽) at all, or even worse, it could rot (腐烂) in the soil.”  Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a time, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. Those troublesome things might come and cause damage to the newly planted cotton. I simply can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So, what have you planted then?” The farmer let out a heavy sigh and replied, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that there’s no chance of rain ruining (毁坏) my crops and no insects to destroy them.”  There is no doubt that effective planning is a key driver of success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can plan and consider for a long time, but there comes a point when action is important. 5. What did Andy notice about the farmer? A. He looked worried.  B. He blocked Andy’s way. C. He got caught in the rain.   D. He was busy working in the field.  6.

Effective planning is important for success.   B. It is best to wait and see before taking action.  C. Overthinking without action results in no progress.  D. It is best to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.  【答案】5.A 6.D 7.B 8.C 【解析】讲述了 Andy 遇到一个忧虑的农夫，农夫因担心天气和昆虫等问题而什么都没种，文章借此指出有效规划重要，但想要做事不能只思考不行动，过度思考不行动不会有进展。 5. 细节理解题。从第一段“He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried.”，这表明 Andy 注意到农夫看起来很忧虑。答案是 A。 6.细节理解题。农夫说 “I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There’s a chance it won’t sprout (发芽) at all, or even worse, it could rot (腐烂) in the soil.”，这表明农夫没有种小麦是因为担心天气会造成问题。 选项 D“He was afraid the weather would cause problems.” 正确。选项 A“He didn’t prepare enough seeds.”（他没有准备足够的种子），原文未提及；选项 B“He worried about not having enough rain.”（他担心雨水不足），原文是担心下雨对小麦有影响，而不是雨水不足；选项 C“He preferred to plant other crops instead.”（他更愿意种植其他作物），原文没有这样的表述。答案是 D。 7.细节理解题。原文提到 “The farmer thought for a time, and he said once again, ‘No. I’m worried about the insects this season. Those troublesome things might come and cause damage (破坏) to the newly planted cotton.’”，这说明农夫担心种植棉花时昆虫会破坏棉花。 选项 B“The risk of insects ruining the cotton.” 正确。选项 A“The poor conditions of the soil.”（土壤条件差），原文未提及；选项 C“The change of seasons affecting the crops.”（季节变化影响作物），原文没有提到季节变化对棉花的影响；选项 D“The lack of a clear plan for growing the crops.”（缺乏明确的种植作物计划），原文未涉及。答案是 B。 8.推理判断题。文章最后提到 “There is no doubt that effective planning is a key driver of success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can plan and consider for a long time, but there comes a point when action is important.”，这意味着过度思考而不采取行动不会有进展。选项 C“Overthinking without action results in no progress.” 正确。选项 A“Effective planning is important for success.”（有效规划对成功很重要），虽然文中提到了有效规划，但这不是 Andy 从农夫情况中学习到的主要内容；选项 B“It is best to wait and see before taking action.”（在行动之前最好观望），与文章主旨不符；选项 D“It is best to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.”（最好避免孤注一掷），原文没有涉及这个意思。答案是 C。 C In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren, or Chinese mermaids (美人鱼), whose tears become pearls (珍珠) after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster (怪物) called Xiangliu, which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake.

Then he brought fire from heaven (天堂) to the world and taught humans how to use it. Another famous character in the book is Feibao, which in another part is named Mo. It is described as a black-and-white monster that feeds on iron (铁). It also goes by “the Iron Eater”. The mysterious character might be the giant panda. Although it’s not clear who wrote it, Shan Hai Jing is an important ancient book in the pre-Qin period of China and considered one of the treasures of Chinese culture. The stories in the book are now being spread (传播) from one generation (一代人) to another in China. The book has encouraged many people like Lu Xun and JK Rowling. There are also many books, films, games and artworks made from it. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Why Shan Hai Jing is popular. B. How Shan Hai Jing was written. C.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 13. In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ①old stories        ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people         ④ popular inventions A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 14.

To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B. To explain how our scientists develop the space industry. C. To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. D. To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. A 16. D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了嫦娥一号、“玉兔号”月球车、“墨子号”空间量子科学实验卫星等与中国古代传统文化之间的渊源，表明了我国传统文化对我国太空技术的深远影响。 13. 细节理解题。根据“Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.”可知，太空科学家给卫星命名时受到古老的故事以及古代著名人物的启发。故选B。 14. 推理判断题。根据“Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example…”可知，文章第四段介绍科学家给卫星命名时还受到古代名人的启发，下文列举了“墨子号”的例子。故作者通过举例子的方式支持自己的观点。故选C。 15. 篇章结构题。通读文章可知，第一段介绍文章主题，太空技术与古代传统文化有关系；第二、三、四段分别从中国传统故事以及古代著名人物方面介绍；最后一段总结全文，升华主题。故文章的结构是总（①）——分（②③④）——总（⑤）。故选A。 16. 主旨大意题。根据“From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.”及全文可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍中国的空间技术与中国传统文化之间的渊源，中国传统文化影响着我国的空间技术。故选D。 第二节：阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 Hanfu Is Making a Comeback When Zhang Lingshan was a child, she would watch Chinese period dramas (古装正剧）on television.

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 。 22. 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 23. 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 。 24. 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 25.

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 27. 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 28. D 根据 “We had great 28.________ to do the experiment.”我们带着极大的 28.________ 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 。 29. B 根据句子 After reading the passage, I 29.________ why the combination is so terrible.读完文章后，我 29. C 这里表示读完文章后，“了解到” 为什么这种组合这么糟糕，learn 有 “得知，了解” 的意思，符合语境。remember “记得”；wonder “想知道”；explain “解释”，均不符合此处语境。 30. 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。 第二部分非选择题（共40分） 三、语篇填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 In a middle school cafeteria (餐厅) in China, there are many banners (条幅) on the wall. One banner reads: “Who knows that each bowl of rice is the fruit of hard toil? (谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)”. Another says: “Clear 31. __________ (you) plate; refuse to waste food.” These banners are part of 32. __________ activity in our country to cut down on food waste. A 33. ________ (work) in the cafeteria said that they used to waste 100 kilograms of food every day. But this number has dropped by 75 percent, 34._________ the school encourages students to take just as 35. _________ (many) food as they need.  Many restaurants in China are also 36. __________ (join) in. They encourage people to order dishes using the “N-1” formula (公式). “N” 37. __________ (stand) for the number of people at a table. So if there are six people at your table, you should order just five 38. __________ (dish). If people can’t 39. __________ (finish) their meals, they should take the leftovers (剩菜) home.  In fact, food waste has long been a big problem around the world. The UN says there are 820 million people around the world who don’t have enough food to eat. By 40. __________ (cut) down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty (空的) plates of many hungry people.   【答案】31.your 32.an 33.worker 34.because 35.much 36.joining 37.stands 38.dishes 39.finish 40.cutting 【解析】 31.your这里需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词 “plate”，表示 “你的盘子”，you 的形容词性物主代词是 your。 32.an这里表示 “一项活动”，activity 是可数名词，且是以元音音素开头，所以要用不定冠词 an。 33.worker，根据前面的 “A” 以及后面的 “in the cafeteria said” 可知，这里需要一个表示人的名词，work 的名词形式是 worker，表示 “工人，工作人员”，这里指餐厅的一名工作人员。 34.because “they used to waste 100 kilograms of food every day. But this number has dropped by 75 percent”（他们过去每天浪费 100 千克食物，但这个数字已经下降了 75%）和 “the school encourages students to take just as much food as they need”（学校鼓励学生按需取餐）之间是因果关系，后一句是前一句的原因，所以用 because 引导原因状语从句。 35.much 这里的 food 是不可数名词，as much as 表示 “和…… 一样多”，用于不可数名词，many 用于可数名词复数，所以这里用 much。 36.joining 前面有 be 动词 are，这里表示 “正在加入”，要用现在分词形式构成现在进行时，join 的现在分词是 joining。 37.stands 主语 “N” 是第三人称单数，一般现在时中，动词要用第三人称单数形式，stand 的第三人称单数形式是 stands。 38.dishes 前面有 “five” 修饰，dish 是可数名词，所以要用复数形式 dishes，表示 “五道菜”。 39.finish 前面有情态动词 can't，情态动词后面要用动词原形，所以这里用 finish，表示 “完成”。 40.cutting 前面有介词 By，介词后面要用动词的 ing 形式，cut 的 ing 形式是 cutting，这里表示 “通过减少食物浪费”。 四、阅读与表达（共4小题, 41~43小题，每题2分,44小题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 During the Warring States Period , the two highest officials of Zhao Kingdom were Lian Po and Lin Xiangru.

But then this guy, Lin Xiangru, gets to the top by doing nothing!” Lian Po was so angry that he thought of a plan to embarrass (使尴尬) Lin Xiangru. One day, Lin Xiangru went out in his carriage (马车). Soon he saw Lian Po’s carriage coming toward him. He asked his servant (仆人) to quickly turn around. Lin Xiangru returned home. When other ministers heard about it, they laughed at him. But Lin Xiangru said calmly, “Do you want to know why I did not want to meet Lian Po? You may think I’m afraid of Lian Po. No. The conflict (冲突) between us is personal. As the chief minister, I make sure the country works correctly. As the head of the army, Liao Po makes sure that we stay safe. Together, we keep the country running smoothly.

Although it’s not clear who wrote it, Shan Hai Jing is an important ancient book in the pre-Qin period of China and considered one of the treasures of Chinese culture.

D So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 13.

D So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 13.
