A. fewer and fewer, less and less B. fewer and fewer, smaller and smaller C. smaller and smaller, fewer and fewer D. smaller and smaller, less and less 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：大熊猫的数量越来越少，因为它们的生存空间越来越少。 考查形容词辨析和比较级。fewer and fewer越来越少，修饰可数名词复数； less and less越来越少，修饰不可数名词；smaller and smaller越来越小，修饰面积、体积或者数量。第一空作表语修饰主语“the number of the giant pandas”，表示数量少用small，因此第一空为smaller and smaller；第二空作定语修饰不可数名词“living space”，表示“生存空间越来越少”，应用less and less。故选D。 10. —Did you hear the shouts ________ the boy? —Yes. When I arrived there, I found the boy looking at a snake ________ fear. A. from; in B. at; with C. from; at D. to; in 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你听到那个男孩的喊叫声了吗？——是的。当我到达那里时，我发现那个男孩正惊恐地看着一条蛇。 考查介词。from来自；in在……里；at在；with和；to到。根据“When I arrived there, I found the boy looking at a snake ... fear.”可知，喊叫声是男孩看到蛇发出的，用from表示“来自那个男孩的喊叫声”。“in fear”意为“恐惧地”，描述男孩看着蛇时的状态。故选A。 11. 一Why didn't you come and open the door for me, dear? 一Sorry, I the kitchen.

Artists use cicada sloughs and magnolia buds (玉兰花骨朵) to make maohou figurines (小塑像), usually shorter than 4 cm. In 2009, it was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Beijing. Qiu Yisheng, 62, is an inheritor (继承人) of the maohou-making art. As a Beijing local, he fell in love with funny maohou when he first saw it in his friend’s home back in the 1980s. Then, he got crazy about it. “Anyone can make a maohou,” he said. “But it takes years of practice to create a maohou that. has no facial expressions (面部表情), but tells a story like a human.” Qiu’s work comes from his understanding of life. In his work called Antivirus Software (《杀毒软件》), three monkeys stand on a CD and fight against six monkeys who are trying to climb on the CD to invade (入侵) the computer. Qiu made it in 2011, a year when computer viruses were still a serious problem. What’s funny is that every maohou has a “smart hairstyle” (“杀马特发型”), which was very popular at the time. Although often funny and inspiring (有启发性的), maohou-making is becoming a lost art. “Not many people know maohou. Artists making it can’t make a living from it,” Qiu said. He calls for more attention to the art. 38. What do we know about maohou? A. Only Beijing locals can make it. B. Human hair is used to make maohou. C. It is difficult to find things to make it. D. Most of maohou are very small. 39. How old was Qiu Yisheng when he fell in love with maohou? A. About 10 years old. B. About 20 years old. C. In his thirties. D. In his sixties. 40 What does Antivirus Software show? A. It takes a long time to make maohou. B. Qiu is interested in computer science. C. Qiu’s ideas in his works come from life. D. Qiu can show rich facial expressions in his works. 41. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A. most of the maohou artists are rich people B. the maohou art need more attention from people C. the maohou art is mainly popular among young people D. the maohou art will get more and more popular 【答案】38. D 39. B 40. C 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了毛猴传统艺术及传承艺术人邱贻生的相关信息。 【38题详解】 细节理解题根据“Artists use cicada sloughs and magnolia buds (玉兰花骨朵) to make maohou figurines (小塑像), usually shorter than 4 cm.”可知，毛猴很小，故选D。 39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Qiu Yisheng, 62...As a Beijing local, he fell in love with funny maohou when he first saw it in his friend’s home back in the 1980s”可知，20世纪80年代爱上这种艺术，今天他62岁，所以，他大概20岁左右喜欢上它，故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Qiu’s work comes from his understanding of life.”可知，邱的作品源于他对生活的理解。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Not many people know maohou. Artists making it can’t make a living from it”可知，毛猴艺术需要更多人的关注，故选B。 D My first home was a beautiful meadow (牧场) with a pond of clear water. There were some large trees near the pond. On one side of the meadow was a field and on the other was the house of our master, Farmer Grey. He was a kind man. My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her. One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. “You are a beautiful horse,” he said. “You have a beautiful coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.” I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit (马嚼子) in my mouth. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them. My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly.

Stop!” he cried. “What is it?” shouted Squire. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” When we returned home, Squire told Mrs Gordon, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!” That night, I was glad, though I was very tired.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自著名儿童小说《黑美人》，主要讲述了一匹名叫黑美人的马拯救了主人性命的故事。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit (马嚼子) in my mouth. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them.”可知，我不喜欢缰绳和马嚼子，但所有的马都得戴上它们。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon.” “You have a beautiful coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.” “My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs...The other was Ginger.” “ ‘Something is wrong,’ I thought. I did not want to go on to the bridge.” “When we returned home...We are all safe...”可知，事情发展的顺序为：Farmer Grey把我卖给了Squire Gordon；他将我命名为Black Beauty；我遇到了另外两匹马Merrylegs和Ginger；我知道桥有问题；我们安全回到了家。故选B。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“ ‘The bridge is broken in the middle,’ he answered. ‘If you go on to it, you are going to drown in the river.’ ”可知，桥中间断了，如果我们走上去，就会……在河里。可以猜测drown意为“淹死”，选项A“因为在水下太久不能呼吸而死”与之相符。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When we returned home, Squire told Mrs Gordon, ‘We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!’ ”可知，Black Beauty救了大家，Mr Gordon对此很感激。可以推断他会好好照顾Black Beauty。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ___46___ Well, here are some easy ways: ● Go to a space museum Take your kids to a space museum.

C Maohou, which means hairy (多毛的) monkey in Chinese, is a traditional art in Beijing. Artists use cicada sloughs and magnolia buds (玉兰花骨朵) to make maohou figurines (小塑像), usually shorter than 4 cm. In 2009, it was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Beijing. Qiu Yisheng, 62, is an inheritor (继承人) of the maohou-making art. As a Beijing local, he fell in love with funny maohou when he first saw it in his friend’s home back in the 1980s. Then, he got crazy about it. “Anyone can make a maohou,” he said. “But it takes years of practice to create a maohou that. has no facial expressions (面部表情), but tells a story like a human.” Qiu’s work comes from his understanding of life. In his work called Antivirus Software (《杀毒软件》), three monkeys stand on a CD and fight against six monkeys who are trying to climb on the CD to invade (入侵) the computer. Qiu made it in 2011, a year when computer viruses were still a serious problem. What’s funny is that every maohou has a “smart hairstyle” (“杀马特发型”), which was very popular at the time. Although often funny and inspiring (有启发性的), maohou-making is becoming a lost art. “Not many people know maohou. Artists making it can’t make a living from it,” Qiu said. He calls for more attention to the art. 38. What do we know about maohou? A. Only Beijing locals can make it. B. Human hair is used to make maohou. C. It is difficult to find things to make it. D. Most of maohou are very small. 39. How old was Qiu Yisheng when he fell in love with maohou? A. About 10 years old. B. About 20 years old. C. In his thirties. D. In his sixties. 40. What does Antivirus Software show? A. It takes a long time to make maohou. B. Qiu is interested in computer science. C. Qiu’s ideas in his works come from life. D. Qiu can show rich facial expressions in his works. 41. From the passage we can learn that ________. A. most of the maohou artists are rich people B. the maohou art need more attention from people C the maohou art is mainly popular among young people D. the maohou art will get more and more popular D My first home was a beautiful meadow (牧场) with a pond of clear water. There were some large trees near the pond. On one side of the meadow was a field and on the other was the house of our master, Farmer Grey. He was a kind man. My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her. One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. “You are a beautiful horse,” he said. “You have a beautiful coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.” I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit (马嚼子) in my mouth. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them. My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people. Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me, “My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care.” Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a bridge. I stopped. “Something is wrong,” I thought. I did not want to go on to the bridge. Mr Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge. I did not move. Just then a man saw us. “Hey, there! Stop!” he cried. “What is it?” shouted Squire. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” When we returned home, Squire told Mrs Gordon, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!” That night, I was glad, though I was very tired.
