None (没有一个) of the children in that room could say a sentence. But they had a strong personality (性格), likes and dislikes, wishes and fears. And they communicated every day.
Slowly, I learned not only Spanish but the language of each child I cared for. It was ____21____ to see these children trying their best to communicate with each other. I had been making excuses (借口) for not trying all these years. And here were a group of disabled children showing me how ____22____ communication was. It really made me ____23____ to use Spanish to talk to others. In this way, I could express my personality better like the disabled children.

【19题详解】
句意:班上只有两个孩子会说话,而且他们两个都说的不好。

【20题详解】
句意:其他人用他们的声音——当他们有强烈的感情时,他们会发出噪音。
friends朋友;mistakes错误;noises噪声;troubles麻烦。由上文“used body languages”和本句的“used their voices”可知,不同的孩子通过不同的方式表达,跟vioces对应的表达方式是made noises,故选C。

【23题详解】

hate憎恨;want想要;forget忘记;remember记得。由上文的“how important communication was”可知,作者意识到了沟通的重要性,所以他从之前的找借口不愿意尝试,变为了现在想要去主动使用西班牙语,故选B。

四、根据中文意思组词成句,并将完整的句子写在答题卡的相应位置上,有时需要做相应变化。(共5分,每小题1分)

side by side, ride, don’t, your friends, with
__________________________________________________________________________________.
【答案】Don’t ride with your friends side by side
【解析】
【详解】分析所给单词可知,本句是祈使句的否定形式,结构是“Don’t+动词原形+其他”,所给单词中只有ride是动词,所以句首为Don’t ride;ride with sb.意为“和某人一起骑车”,介词with后接名词短语your friends;side by side意为“并排”,作状语,置于句末。故答案为:Don’t ride with your friends side by side“不要和你的朋友并排骑车”。
29. 天太黑了,她什么都看不见。

【答案】It took me an hour to get there by bus
【解析】
【详解】根据中文提示及所给词汇可知,本句应用句型“It takes sb.+时间+ to do sth.”意为“某人花费时间做某事”,时态为一般过去时,所以动词take用过去式took。it作形式主语,首字母大写;took作谓语;to get there by bus作真正主语。故填It took me an hour to get there by bus“乘公共汽车到那儿花了我一小时”。

A Bad Accident
One day, at 5:00 p. m., the students of a middle school were leaving their classrooms for home. Suddenly, one student fell down. But the schoolmates didn’t pay attention to it. They rushed (冲) out and stepped (踩) on the fallen student.
“Help! Help! Don’t step on me!”, the fallen student cried. It made other students panic (恐慌). They pushed and wanted to run away from the stairs. But more students fell down. Then it caused the accident.
Teachers shouted to the students, “Stay calm! Don’t push!” But most students didn’t listen to it. They hurried to the gate of the teaching building. Screaming and yelling (尖叫) was everywhere. Immediately, the teachers called the ambulance and police for help. The injured (受伤的) students were soon sent to the hospital. However, unluckily, there were twenty-six students injured in the bad accident.
A policeman said that more than 400 students were leaving classrooms at that time. The accident happened because two boys blocked (阻挡) students near the bottom of the stairs. And the stairs were just 1.2 meters wide. That’s too narrow (窄的) to let the students leave quickly. Both of the reasons caused the accident.
A boy told the reporter, “When the crowd began to push, I tried to hold onto the handrail (扶手) tightly (紧紧地). My classmate Lucas stayed in a corner until the crowd left. I saw a girl fall down in the moving crowd, but she covered her head with both hands, leaned (倚靠) to one side and curled (蜷缩) up her body. Those are the ways saved our lives.”

C
Rest Is Much More Than Sleep
We go to bed when we’re tired. Sometimes, however, we wake up feeling tired after ten hours’ sleep. Should we get more sleep then?
We always think we’ve rested as long as (只要) we’ve had enough sleep. But in our real life, rest is much more than our nightly hours of closing eyes. Here are some other types (种类) of rest that we badly need.
The first type of rest is physical (身体的) rest. It can be passive (被动的) or active. Passive physical rest means sleeping, while active physical rest can be activities like yoga (瑜伽). These activities help your body to relax.
Have you ever heard your parents or anyone else complain (抱怨) that they have a hard time paying attention to their work all the time? Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble “turning off” their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts? These people need mental rest. You can advise them to take a short break every two hours during their workdays. These breaks help them slow down a bit.
The third type of rest is sensory (感官的) rest. Bright lights, computer screens and background noises can make our senses (感觉官能) feel tired. But this problem is easy to solve. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronics (电子产品) for a while.
Then comes creative rest. Allowing yourself to take in the beauty of nature even if just at a local park can provide you with this type of rest. You can also place your favorite artwork around your desk. Enjoying art is another great way to get creative rest.
The last two types of rest we need are social and emotional (情绪的) rest. Spend some time with positive (积极的) people. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that have been troubling you lately.
Now you know—we need much more than a good night’s sleep to feel well-rested. It’s time for us to get the right type of rest we need.
37. How many types of rest does the passage mention?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
38. The word “mental” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.
A. connected with body B. connected with mind
C. connected with time D. connected with nature
39. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. activities like yoga are passive physical rest
B. sleeping for ten hours always makes us feel more tired
C. we can share the hard things with people to get creative rest
D. closing our eyes for a minute can help our senses to get a rest
40. What’s the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?
A. To show us right ways to get well-rested.
B. To encourage us to study the types of rest.
C. To give us some advice on how to get enough sleep.
D. To introduce some ways to have a good night’s sleep.
【答案】37. C 38. B 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要告诉我们充分休息的方法。我们需要身体休息、心理休息、感官休息、创意休息以及社交和情感休息。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The first type of rest is physical rest.”可知,第一种类型是身体休息。根据第四段的“These people need mental rest.”可知,这些人需要心理休息。根据第五段“The third type of rest is sensory (感官的) rest.”可知,第三种类型是感官休息。根据第六段“Then comes creative rest.”可知,然后是创意休息。根据倒数第二段第一句“The last two types of rest we need are social and emotional (情绪的) rest.”可知,最后两种类型是社交和情绪休息。由此可知文中共提到六种类型的休息。故选C。
【38题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble ‘turning off’ their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts?”可知,你听说过当他们躺下睡觉时,他们对于放松大脑有困难因为白天的对话充满着他们的思维。可知划线词在此处表示“和大脑思维有关”。故选B。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronics (电子产品) for a while.”可知,你可以在一天中间闭上眼睛一分钟或者放下电子产品一会。由此可知,闭眼一分钟可以让我们的感官得到休息。故选D。
40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Here are some other types (种类) of rest that we badly need.”可知,下面是一些休息种类,我们非常需要。由此可知,本文主要告诉我们充分休息的方法。故选A。

Plastic Pollution
A sea turtle (龟) notices a white thing floating (漂浮). He thinks it a big dinner—a jellyfish (水母), and eats it. But it isn’t a jellyfish—it’s a plastic bag that could make the sea turtle sick.
Turtles aren’t alone. Over 700 kinds of sea animals have been reported to have eaten or been trapped (困住) in plastic. Scientists think that the amount (数量) of plastic in the ocean might triple (增至三倍) by 2050—and that would mean bad news for the ocean and the animals that live there. But by understanding the problem and taking actions (采取行动), you can help stop that from happening.
What’s the problem with plastic?
Not all plastic is bad. Bike helmets (头盔), car airbags (气囊) and many medical supplies (医疗用品) save lives. Plastic water bottles can bring clean drinking water to people who don’t have it. Plastic straws (吸管) can help people drink. The problem is that most of us use and then throw away more plastic than we need—things like plastic bags, bottles, straws, and plastic packaging (包装). This kind of plastic that people use only once and throw away is called disposable plastic, and it makes up more than 40% of all plastic rubbish.
Where does the plastic go?
That’s a lot of rubbish. Scientists think that about 8.8 million tons of plastic goes into the ocean every year. Plastic on the ground often goes to rivers, finally ending up in the ocean. And because plastic rubbish is different from other types of waste—it doesn’t decompose (分解) back into nature like an apple core (核) or a piece of paper—it stays in the ocean forever. That means waste fishing nets can trap animals and harmful straws and plastic bags can be mistaken as food.
What can we do about it?
We can do so much to help keep Earth clean! Try to use less straws, especially plastic ones. Put our food in reusable containers (可重复使用容器) instead of plastic bags. We can also help to pick up rubbish around us. By working together, our choices can help save animals and the ocean they live in.
41. Why does the sea turtle eat a plastic bag?
___________________________________________
42. What is disposable plastic?
___________________________________________
43. How much plastic goes into the ocean every year according to the scientists?
___________________________________________
44. Will you try to use less plastic things in the future? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons)
___________________________________________
【答案】41. He makes a mistake and thinks it is a big dinner—a jellyfish.
42. This kind of plastic that people use only once and throw away is called disposable plastic.
43. Scientists think that about 8.8 million tons of plastic goes into the ocean every year.
44. Yes, I will. Because it can help save animals and keep Earth clean.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了塑料污染的危害、现状、原因以及改进措施。
【41题详解】
根据“A sea turtle notices a white thing floating. He thinks it a big dinner—a jellyfish, and eats it.”可知,海龟想要吃塑料袋是因为他误以为塑料袋是他的水母大餐。故填He makes a mistake and thinks it is a big dinner—a jellyfish.
【42题详解】
根据“This kind of plastic that people use only once and throw away is called disposable plastic”可知,只是用一次就扔掉的塑料称之为一次性塑料。故填This kind of plastic that people use only once and throw away is called disposable plastic.
【43题详解】

【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
I’m very happy to share something about keeping safe on the way to school with you. I often go to school by underground. The reason is that it’s fast and not affected by traffic jams. Also, it’s less dangerous compared to riding an e-scooter on busy roads.
To keep safe on the road, my advice is to always be attentive and follow traffic rules. If you must use an e-scooter, wear a helmet and reflective clothing to increase visibility. Also, avoid riding at night or in bad weather conditions.
Remember, safety always comes first. I hope these tips help you stay safe on your way to school.
If you want to know more, be free to email me.
Yours,
Li Hua

A Bad Accident
One day, at 5:00 p. m., the students of a middle school were leaving their classrooms for home. Suddenly, one student fell down. But the schoolmates didn’t pay attention to it. They rushed (冲) out and stepped (踩) on the fallen student.
“Help! Help! Don’t step on me!”, the fallen student cried. It made other students panic (恐慌). They pushed and wanted to run away from the stairs. But more students fell down. Then it caused the accident.
Teachers shouted to the students, “Stay calm! Don’t push!” But most students didn’t listen to it. They hurried to the gate of the teaching building. Screaming and yelling (尖叫) was everywhere. Immediately, the teachers called the ambulance and police for help. The injured (受伤的) students were soon sent to the hospital. However, unluckily, there were twenty-six students injured in the bad accident.
A policeman said that more than 400 students were leaving classrooms at that time. The accident happened because two boys blocked (阻挡) students near the bottom of the stairs. And the stairs were just 1.2 meters wide. That’s too narrow (窄的) to let the students leave quickly. Both of the reasons caused the accident.
A boy told the reporter, “When the crowd began to push, I tried to hold onto the handrail (扶手) tightly (紧紧地). My classmate Lucas stayed in a corner until the crowd left. I saw a girl fall down in the moving crowd, but she covered her head with both hands, leaned (倚靠) to one side and curled (蜷缩) up her body. Those are the ways saved our lives.”
34. The accident happened when the students were _________.
A. having classes B. leaving for home
C. having lunch D. doing the exercise
35. Which one of the followings is NOT the reason for the accident?
A. Two boys blocked the way near the bottom of the stairs.
B. A student fell down while leaving the classroom.
C. The stairs were such narrow places.
D. The students were too tired.
36. How could you save yourself when the crowd began to push in an accident?
A. Hold something tightly. B. Run to the gate quickly.
C. Push other people hard. D. Lean to your classmates.
C
Rest Is Much More Than Sleep
We go to bed when we’re tired. Sometimes, however, we wake up feeling tired after ten hours’ sleep. Should we get more sleep then?
We always think we’ve rested as long as (只要) we’ve had enough sleep. But in our real life, rest is much more than our nightly hours of closing eyes. Here are some other types (种类) of rest that we badly need.
The first type of rest is physical (身体的) rest. It can be passive (被动的) or active. Passive physical rest means sleeping, while active physical rest can be activities like yoga (瑜伽). These activities help your body to relax.
Have you ever heard your parents or anyone else complain (抱怨) that they have a hard time paying attention to their work all the time? Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble “turning off” their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts? These people need mental rest. You can advise them to take a short break every two hours during their workdays. These breaks help them slow down a bit.
The third type of rest is sensory (感官的) rest. Bright lights, computer screens and background noises can make our senses (感觉官能) feel tired. But this problem is easy to solve. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronics (电子产品) for a while.
Then comes creative rest. Allowing yourself to take in the beauty of nature even if just at a local park can provide you with this type of rest. You can also place your favorite artwork around your desk. Enjoying art is another great way to get creative rest.
The last two types of rest we need are social and emotional (情绪的) rest. Spend some time with positive (积极的) people. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that have been troubling you lately.
Now you know—we need much more than a good night’s sleep to feel well-rested. It’s time for us to get the right type of rest we need.
37. How many types of rest does the passage mention?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
38. The word “mental” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.
A. connected with body B. connected with mind
C. connected with time D. connected with nature
39. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A activities like yoga are passive physical rest
B. sleeping for ten hours always makes us feel more tired
C. we can share the hard things with people to get creative rest
D. closing our eyes for a minute can help our senses to get a rest
40. What’s the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?
A. To show us right ways to get well-rested.
B. To encourage us to study the types of rest.
C. To give us some advice on how to get enough sleep.
D. To introduce some ways to have a good night’s sleep.

Plastic Pollution
A sea turtle (龟) notices a white thing floating (漂浮). He thinks it a big dinner—a jellyfish (水母), and eats it. But it isn’t a jellyfish—it’s a plastic bag that could make the sea turtle sick.
Turtles aren’t alone. Over 700 kinds of sea animals have been reported to have eaten or been trapped (困住) in plastic. Scientists think that the amount (数量) of plastic in the ocean might triple (增至三倍) by 2050—and that would mean bad news for the ocean and the animals that live there. But by understanding the problem and taking actions (采取行动), you can help stop that from happening.
What’s the problem with plastic?
Not all plastic is bad. Bike helmets (头盔), car airbags (气囊) and many medical supplies (医疗用品) save lives. Plastic water bottles can bring clean drinking water to people who don’t have it. Plastic straws (吸管) can help people drink. The problem is that most of us use and then throw away more plastic than we need—things like plastic bags, bottles, straws, and plastic packaging (包装). This kind of plastic that people use only once and throw away is called disposable plastic, and it makes up more than 40% of all plastic rubbish.
Where does the plastic go?
That’s a lot of rubbish. Scientists think that about 8.8 million tons of plastic goes into the ocean every year. Plastic on the ground often goes to rivers, finally ending up in the ocean. And because plastic rubbish is different from other types of waste—it doesn’t decompose (分解) back into nature like an apple core (核) or a piece of paper—it stays in the ocean forever. That means waste fishing nets can trap animals and harmful straws and plastic bags can be mistaken as food.
What can we do about it?
We can do so much to help keep Earth clean! Try to use less straws, especially plastic ones. Put our food in reusable containers (可重复使用的容器) instead of plastic bags. We can also help to pick up rubbish around us. By working together, our choices can help save animals and the ocean they live in.
41. Why does the sea turtle eat a plastic bag?
___________________________________________
42. What is disposable plastic?
___________________________________________
43. How much plastic goes into the ocean every year according to the scientists?
___________________________________________
44 Will you try to use less plastic things in the future? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons)
