【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:约翰是一个欧洲男孩,他来自剑桥大学,这是所有学生梦寐以求的大学。
考查冠词辨析。第一空表示泛指,“一个欧洲的男孩”,且European是以辅音音素开头的,所以第一空填a。第二空特指前文提到的事物,所以第二空填the,故选C。
2. —________ fine weather it is!
—Yes, we can go outside for a walk and enjoy the sunshine.
A. What a B. What C. How
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——天气真好!——是的,我们可以到外面散步,享受阳光。
考查感叹句。根据“…fine weather it is!”可知,句子为感叹句,weather是不可数名词,此处应用what引导感叹句,结构为“What+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语”。故选B。
3. —Excuse me, I wonder ________ .
—Yes, and it was made in Italy.
A. what the tie is made of B. if the tie is made of silk C. where the tie is made

【解析】
【详解】句意:——打扰一下,我想知道这领带是丝绸的吗?——是的,而且是意大利制造的。

A. it B. that C. this

考查动词短语以及非谓语动词。used to do过去常常做某事;be used to do被用来做某事。根据“but now”可知,前一句是介绍过去发生的事情,故第一空应填used to。第二空表示现在习惯了住在大城市,be used to doing sth:习惯做某事,故选C。
6. —You ______ to Jennie and Bob’s wedding, but why didn’t you go?

【详解】句意:——你被邀请参加詹妮和鲍勃的婚礼,但是你为什么没去呢?——我想去,但是那天我碰巧出差了。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据句意可知,指的是你被邀请参加婚礼,由句中的didin’t可知,句子是一般过去时;所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为was/were done,主语是you,所以be动词用were,invite的过去分词是invited。故选C。

Gunpowder火药
It was one of the greatest inventions. It is said that in the 3rd century a Chinese man wrote about how to make it. At first, it was used for making fireworks. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The method of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Paper-making
China was the first country in the world to make paper. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 B. C.—9 A. D.), paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A. D.—220 A. D.) by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark, ropes, rags and so on. Before it was invented, the ancient Chinese carved characters on animal bones and stones. They also wrote them on bamboo and wooden sticks.

九、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共10小题;每小题2分,计20分)
A
My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to give you my suggestions about how to become stronger.
As the high school entrance examination is coming soon, you might feel a bit worried or nervous.
These feelings may make you stressed out and fail to focus on your studies. But think about it. Would your favorite superhero have these same feelings?
Scientists have been studying what they call the “Spider-man Effect” in children. They’ve found that if kids imagine themselves as a powerful person-such as a superhero like Spider-man, they won’t feel so nervous and will be able to focus on their work. Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.
For example, if you feel nervous during an exam, try to imagine that you are Spider-man. You may find that you can “remove” the stress from this situation and feel more confident. This can help keep you fight off bad feelings and focus on your task, just like a superhero would. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you should dress like the Spider-man. Pretending to be powerful makes us feel powerful and that will have an influence on how we act in real life.
But you don’t have to believe in superheroes for this. Anyone you admire can encourage you to get through hard times, or remind you of how you should act in certain situations. Movie stars, famous painters, even our own parents—anyone can be our “Spider-man”. For example, when it comes to how I communicate with others, I like to look toward my mom for inspiration. She is a middle school teacher who is always kind, thoughtful and brave. I try to act the same way like her.
Thanks for your listening. I hope you can find your own strength to overcome the difficulties in your life.
36. This passage is probably ________.
A. a story B. a speech C. a letter

A. help people in need
B. help yourself calm down and focus on your exam
C. get superpowers and do well in the exam

A. giving an example B. making a suggestion C. telling a story

【36题详解】

B
Years ago, my mother had a terrible earache. The pain was unbearable, and it wouldn’t go away. Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.
Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养), arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D.C. “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.”
The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears.
Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.”
41. Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage?
A. To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips.
B. To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips
C. To help readers know the best use of Q-tips
42. Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right?
A. The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems.
B. The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors.
C. People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips.
43. What do the early Q-tips look like?
A. B. C.
44. What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage?
A. We never use Q-tips anymore.

【导语】本文主要介绍了棉签在耳朵清洁中的广泛滥用,最终导致了常见的耳朵问题。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”可知和许多其他人一样,我妈妈一直在用棉签清洁耳朵,她使用棉签导致了耳朵问题,所以作者提到妈妈的经历是为了引出关于棉签危险的话题。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据“And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”和“‘Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it.””可知棉签盒子上警告不要把它放在耳朵里,但是很多人不注意,仍然使用棉签清洁耳朵,这导致了耳朵问题,所以棉签的错误使用会造成很多耳朵问题。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据“These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today, except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided.”可知这些早期的棉签是单头的,选项B符合。故选B。

When it comes to taking notes, what do you think is the best way: using a pen or typing on a computer keyboard?
As digital devices (数码设备) have played a main role in society. “Keyboard activity is now often used for early handwriting,” a new study shows. ___71___ “Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” says Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader. However, she believes that young children should learn to manage a keyboard. ___72___
She notes that although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen activates (激活) more areas of our brain than a keyboard does. ___73___ So that we can improve learning—and probably remember more—by handwriting our class notes.
When we write, our brain needs to think about and bring back memories of the shape of each letter. ___74___ And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to write the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain. Along the way, these processes appear to open the brain up for learning. She points out that taking notes by hand activates “visual (视觉) note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down.
___75___ In fact, it points out that computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in many modern classrooms. Keyboarding also can be especially helpful for students with certain special needs, such as if they can’t use their hands smoothly.
But nearly all students will be improved by learning handwriting and drawing at an early age, the researchers now conclude.
A. She worried that children would forget how to write.
B. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
C. And they should learn to write by hand successfully as well.
D. We also need to use our eyes to watch closely what we’re writing.
E. On the other hand, this study doesn’t ask people to avoid digital devices.
F. This is because writing needs complicated (复杂) movements that activate more areas of the brain.
【答案】71. B 72. C 73. F 74. D 75. E

阅读下面短文,补全表格中所缺信息,并将答案依次填入答题卡的相应位置。
With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try?

Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat.
Canoeists sit on a bench.

The benefits
Offer sightseeing opportunities.
Exercise certain parts the body.
Gentle on the boy’s joints and tissues.
Make you less stressed.
It’s healthy for both ____80____.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了皮划艇这项运动。
【76题详解】
根据“Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different.”可知,介绍了皮划艇与划独木舟的区别,differences“区别,不同”符合。故填Differences。
【77题详解】
根据“The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation”及“In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.”可知,此处介绍的是皮划艇的难点和解决办法,solution“解决办法”符合。故填solution。
【78题详解】
根据“He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car.”可知,把它折叠成一个非常薄的包装,让皮艇很容易装进汽车里。主语与fold是被动关系,结合“fitted in a car”可知,应该用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,be动词用was。故填was folded。
【79题详解】
根据“Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.”可知,冲浪皮划艇运动员在开阔的海洋上乘风破浪时,必须既有坚强的意志,又有天赋。此处介绍的是冲浪皮划艇运动,故填Surf kayaking。
【80题详解】
根据“Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well.”可知,皮划艇运动对身心都有益。故填mind and body。

【答案】 例文:
The Spring Festival in My Eyes
Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for centuries. In the old days, we used to set off fireworks and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. But now, things are different. We don’t set off fireworks much anymore because we want to protect the environment. Instead, we play games on our phones and chat with our family and friends online.
The food we eat during the Spring Festival has also changed. We still eat dumplings and fish, which are symbols of good luck, but we also try different kinds of food from all over the world.
I think these changes show how our lives are getting better and more colorful. Even though some old ways are gone, I like the new ways because they make the Spring Festival more fun and interesting. It’s a time to remember our traditions and also to enjoy the new things that come with the modern world.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂A,错误的涂B。
Compass指南针
It was a great gift to the world from ancient China. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find directions. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel. And many new discoveries were made with the help of it.
Gunpowder火药
It was one of the greatest inventions. It is said that in the 3rd century a Chinese man wrote about how to make it. At first, it was used for making fireworks. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The method of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Paper-making
China was the first country in the world to make paper. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 B. C.—9 A. D.) paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A. D.—220 A. D.) by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark, ropes, rags and so on. Before it was invented, the ancient Chinese carved characters on animal bones and stones. They also wrote them on bamboo and wooden sticks.
printing
It was developed in 1041—1048 in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. It was the basic method at that time.
31. Before the invention of the compass, no people dared to travel in the oceans.
32. Gunpowder was invented for the need of wars.
33. Cai Lun was the inventor of paper.

九、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共10小题;每小题2分,计20分)
A
My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to give you my suggestions about how to become stronger.
As the high school entrance examination is coming soon, you might feel a bit worried or nervous.
These feelings may make you stressed out and fail to focus on your studies. But think about it. Would your favorite superhero have these same feelings?
Scientists have been studying what they call the “Spider-man Effect” in children. They’ve found that if kids imagine themselves as a powerful person-such as a superhero like Spider-man, they won’t feel so nervous and will be able to focus on their work. Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.
For example, if you feel nervous during an exam, try to imagine that you are Spider-man. You may find that you can “remove” the stress from this situation and feel more confident. This can help keep you fight off bad feelings and focus on your task, just like a superhero would. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you should dress like the Spider-man. Pretending to be powerful makes us feel powerful and that will have an influence on how we act in real life.
But you don’t have to believe in superheroes for this. Anyone you admire can encourage you to get through hard times, or remind you of how you should act in certain situations. Movie stars, famous painters, even our own parents—anyone can be our “Spider-man”. For example, when it comes to how I communicate with others, I like to look toward my mom for inspiration. She is a middle school teacher who is always kind, thoughtful and brave. I try to act the same way like her.
Thanks for your listening. I hope you can find your own strength to overcome the difficulties in your life.

B
Years ago, my mother had a terrible earache. The pain was unbearable, and it wouldn’t go away. Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.
Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养) arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D.C. “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.”
The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears.
Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.”
41. Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage?
A. To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips.
B. To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips
C. To help readers know the best use of Q-tips
42. Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right?
A. The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems.
B. The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors.
C. People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips.
43. What do the early Q-tips look like?
A. B. C.
44. What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage?
A. We never use Q-tips anymore.
B. The government should stop the sale of Q-tips.
C. It seems hard to avoid using Q-tips in people’s life.
45. In which column (栏目) can you read the passage in the newspaper?
A. Heath Care B. New Inventions C. Art Work

Toys have become an important part of children’s lives. When we say “toys”, we often ___61___ them with something fun. But as a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with ___62___ or math. You may play many of them. Let’s take a look at some ancient toys.
◇ Luban Lock
It’s said that the first Luban Lock ___63___ about 2000 years ago. Lu Ban, a Chinese carpenter, used six wooden pieces to make a lock-like toy for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to put the toy into six pieces. However, compared with unlocking a Luban Lock, it is usually much ___64___ to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces.
◇ Huarong Pass
Huarong Pass is a Chinese block-moving puzzle. ___65___, every block has a name like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun from the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms. ___66___ in the game, players have to move the blocks to get “Cao Cao” out.

When it comes to taking notes, what do you think is the best way: using a pen or typing on a computer keyboard?
As digital devices (数码设备) have played a main role in society. “Keyboard activity is now often used for early handwriting,” a new study shows. ___71___ “Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” says Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader. However, she believes that young children should learn to manage a keyboard. ___72___
She notes that although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen activates (激活) more areas of our brain than a keyboard does. ___73___ So that we can improve learning—and probably remember more—by handwriting our class notes.
When we write, our brain needs to think about and bring back memories of the shape of each letter. ___74___ And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to write the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain. Along the way, these processes appear to open the brain up for learning. She points out that taking notes by hand activates “visual (视觉) note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down.
___75___ In fact, it points out that computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in many modern classrooms. Keyboarding also can be especially helpful for students with certain special needs, such as if they can’t use their hands smoothly.
But nearly all students will be improved by learning handwriting and drawing at an early age, the researchers now conclude.
A. She worried that children would forget how to write.
B. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
C. And they should learn to write by hand successfully as well.
D. We also need to use our eyes to watch closely what we’re writing.
E. On the other hand, this study doesn’t ask people to avoid digital devices.
F. This is because writing needs complicated (复杂) movements that activate more areas of the brain.

With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try?
____76____ between kayaking and canoeing
Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat.
