As a child, he loved to draw but no one encouraged him to become an artist. As a young man, he changed jobs with little success and very little money. In March 1880 he realized that he was meant to be a painter, and he began to study art in Brussels. In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris, hoping to learn more. His works began to emphasize (强调) blue and red, and then yellow and orange. In this way, Van Gogh wanted to show others how to better appreciate (欣赏) a flower or the night sky. Few liked his works, however. It hurt the sensitive (敏感的) artist terribly. He was sad and sick. But the illness also inspired (激励) him. When he was calm, he could complete more than a hundred works, including the classic The Starry Night. He wrote, “Working on my pictures helps me become better.” Van Gogh died at the age of 37. Until his death, he was unable to sell a single piece of his works. But today, those paintings would be worth more than a billion dollars. People are not only buying great art but also buying a piece of his story, which gives people something they need. 43. How old was Van Gogh when he realized that he was meant to be a painter? A. 23. B. 27. C. 30. D. 33. 44. Why did Van Gogh’s works emphasize blue and red, and then yellow and orange? A. Because those were his favorite colors. B. Because those colors were popular at that time. C. Because his art teacher encouraged him to use those colors. D. Because he wanted to show others how to better appreciate nature. 45. What’s the right order of the Van Gogh’s story? a．He met many failures in work and made little money. b．He decided to become a painter and moved to Paris. c．He liked painting as a child. d．His works became popular and were worth a lot of money. e．He became sick but still created a lot of works. f．He created a new way in coloring but achieved no success.

In this way, Van Gogh wanted to show others how to better appreciate (欣赏) a flower or the night sky...Few liked his works, however.”，“He was sad and sick. But the illness also inspired (激励) him. When he was calm, he could complete more than a hundred works”和“But today, those paintings would be worth more than a billion dollars. ”可知，正确的顺序是：c. 他小时候喜欢画画；a. 他在工作中遇到许多失败并赚不到钱；b. 他决定成为一名画家并搬到巴黎；f. 他在色彩上创造了一种新方式但没有成功；e. 他生病了但仍然创作了很多作品；d. 他的作品变得受欢迎并且价值很高。故选D。 【46题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了梵高作为一位伟大的艺术家的生平故事及其艺术价值。故选A。 D Lucy is just like any other 13-year-olds. She enjoys singing, going to the movies, cooking and hanging out with her friends. But unlike other teenagers, she is now studying science at a university. Lucy has had a strong interest in STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—from an early age. When she was in the fifth grade, she began to attend high school-level courses online after school. Learning new skills seemed to be a walk in the park for her. She enjoyed this feeling. But you are wrong if you think Lucy is just a bookworm (书呆子). Besides schoolwork, the girl has created the “Brown STEM Girls” program. Through “Brown STEM Girls”, she is trying to create a road to success for all girls like her. As one of Lucy’s teachers said, what really sets the girl apart from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart. Lucy always wants to help and lift others up. Her goal is to use her knowledge and skills to help people in need. Lucy hopes to serve as an example to others. She wants to show that someone’s age should never stand in the way of his or her success. 47. What makes Lucy different from other 13-year-olds? A. She doesn’t like singing. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了13岁女孩Lucy用自己的知识和技能帮助有需要的人的故事。文章旨在告诉我们：你从来不会因为年纪小而什么都做不了，只要用心去做，你就能取得成就。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But unlike other teenagers, she is now studying science at a university.”可知，Lucy与其他13岁孩子不同的是她在大学学习科学。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Through ‘Brown STEM Girls’, she is trying to create a road to success for all girls like her.”可知，Lucy创建“Brown STEM Girls”项目是为了为像她一样的女孩创造一条成功之路。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As one of Lucy’s teachers said, what really sets the girl apart from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart.”及全文可知，Lucy不仅聪明而且关心他人。故选B。 E It was more than ten years ago. I was working in the local government. One day, I visited a recycling factory (回收工厂). There, I was shown that recycling rubbish took much time and energy. I never seriously considered doing something great before, but after that visit, I really wanted to do something for the environment. I tried to stop using single-use plastics in July and encouraged my friends to do so, too. Times have certainly changed. More than ten years ago, nobody was talking about this problem. When I first asked for a drink without a straw (吸管), the waiter looked at me as if I was so strange. Now, I can easily find many bamboo toothbrushes at my local supermarket. As ordinary people, we can’t do everything, and certainly not all at once. However, there is always something that we can do. Start, for example, by just cutting out non-reusable, plastic water bottles. I’m sure our planet will be better if everybody takes action. 50. What made the writer decide to do something for the environment? A. His knowledge. B. His experience. C. His hobby. D. His talent. 51. Why did the waiter think the writer was strange? A. Because he didn’t like the writer at that time. B. Because he had never met the writer before. C. Because the writer asked for a drink without a straw. D. Because he had little sense of environmental protection. 52. What does the underlined word “ordinary” mean? A. 普通的 B. 富有的 C. 谨慎的 D. 陌生的 【答案】50. B 51. C 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者通过参观回收工厂获得环保意识，并决定减少使用一次性塑料制品，从小事做起保护环境的故事。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I visited a recycling factory (回收工厂)…I really wanted to do something for the environment.”可知，作者参观回收工厂的经历促使他决定为环境做些事情。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I first asked for a drink without a straw, the waiter looked at me as if I was so strange.”可知，是因为作者要求一杯没有吸管的饮品，服务员才觉得作者奇怪。故选C。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“we can’t do everything, and certainly not all at once.”以及选项可以推测，大家都是普通人，做不了一切事情，所以ordinary表示“普通的”。故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F 阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Mathilde Loisel gets a chance to go to a dance party. However, Mathilde is not happy because she doesn’t have a beautiful dress for the dance party. Hearing that, her husband gives her some money so that she can buy a beautiful dress. However, Mathilde still wants a beautiful diamond necklace (钻石项链), so she goes to borrow one from her friend Jeanne. The dance party is really great and Mathilde has a great time. However, a terrible thing happens. She finds that she loses the necklace when she gets home. Mathilde is too sorry to tell her friend, so she decides to buy a necklace of the same kind for her. In order to buy the same necklace, they have to borrow a lot of money. To pay off the debt (债务), they live a very difficult life. Ten years later, when Mathilde meets her friend Jeanne and tells her the story of the lost necklace, her friend says, “The necklace is not made of real diamonds, and it is very cheap.” From the experience, Mathilde learns that she should never be a vain (虚荣的) person. 53.

How does Mathilde feel after the party?（不超过5个词） ____________________________________________________________ 55. What does the story teach us?（不超过10个词） ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. She is Mathilde’s friend./ Mathide’s friend. 54. Very sorry/sad. 55. We should never be vain persons. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了主人公因虚荣导致最终生活很困难的故事。 【53题详解】 根据“so she goes to borrow one from her friend Jeanne.”可知，她向她的朋友Jeanne借了项链，因此Jeanne是她的朋友。故填She is Mathilde’s friend./ Mathide’s friend. 【54题详解】 根据“Mathilde is too sorry to tell her friend,”可知，Mathilde由于丢了项链，感到很抱歉。故填Very sorry/sad. 55题详解】 根据“From the experience, Mathilde learns that she should never be a vain (虚荣的) person.”可知，从此次经历中，Mathilde学到了一个道理，那就是她不应该虚荣，因此这篇文章就是在教我们不要虚荣。故填We should never be vain persons. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ．单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

In March 1880, he realized that he was meant to be a painter, and he began to study art in Brussels. In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris, hoping to learn more. His works began to emphasize (强调) blue and red, and then yellow and orange. In this way, Van Gogh wanted to show others how to better appreciate (欣赏) a flower or the night sky. Few liked his works, however. It hurt the sensitive (敏感的) artist terribly. He was sad and sick. But the illness also inspired (激励) him. When he was calm, he could complete more than a hundred works, including the classic The Starry Night. He wrote, “Working on my pictures helps me become better.” Van Gogh died at the age of 37. Until his death, he was unable to sell a single piece of his works. But today, those paintings would be worth more than a billion dollars. People are not only buying great art but also buying a piece of his story, which gives people something they need. 43. How old was Van Gogh when he realized that he was meant to be a painter? A. 23. B. 27. C. 30. D. 33. 44. Why did Van Gogh’s works emphasize blue and red, and then yellow and orange? A. Because those were his favorite colors. B. Because those colors were popular at that time. C.

She enjoys singing, going to the movies, cooking and hanging out with her friends. But unlike other teenagers, she is now studying science at a university. Lucy has had a strong interest in STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—from an early age. When she was in the fifth grade, she began to attend high school-level courses online after school. Learning new skills seemed to be a walk in the park for her. She enjoyed this feeling. But you are wrong if you think Lucy is just a bookworm (书呆子). Besides schoolwork, the girl has created the “Brown STEM Girls” program. Through “Brown STEM Girls”, she is trying to create a road to success for all girls like her. As one of Lucy’s teachers said, what really sets the girl apart from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart. Lucy always wants to help and lift others up. Her goal is to use her knowledge and skills to help people in need. Lucy hopes to serve as an example to others.

One day, I visited a recycling factory (回收工厂). There, I was shown that recycling rubbish took much time and energy. I never seriously considered doing something great before, but after that visit, I really wanted to do something for the environment. I tried to stop using single-use plastics in July and encouraged my friends to do so, too. Times have certainly changed. More than ten years ago, nobody was talking about this problem. When I first asked for a drink without a straw (吸管), the waiter looked at me as if I was so strange. Now, I can easily find many bamboo toothbrushes at my local supermarket. As ordinary people, we can’t do everything, and certainly not all at once. However, there is always something that we can do. Start, for example, by just cutting out non-reusable, plastic water bottles. I’m sure our planet will be better if everybody takes action. 50. What made the writer decide to do something for the environment? A. His knowledge. B. His experience. C. His hobby. D. His talent. 51. Why did the waiter think the writer was strange? A. Because he didn’t like the writer at that time. B. Because he had never met the writer before. C. Because the writer asked for a drink without a straw. D. Because he had little sense of environmental protection. 52. What does the underlined word “ordinary” mean? A. 普通的 B. 富有的 C. 谨慎的 D. 陌生的 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F 阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Mathilde Loisel gets a chance to go to a dance party.
