A; the 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：聪明的美猴王一直在为帮助弱者而战斗，但从不放弃。 考查定冠词。a一个，表泛指，用于以辅音音素开头的字母或单词前；the定冠词，表特指。空一特指“clever Monkey King”聪明的美猴王，故填the。空二特指弱者，the+adj.表一类人，故填the。故选B。 17. Our Chinese teacher always encourages us to ________ the good habit of reading. A. pass B. develop C. depend D. choose 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的语文老师总是鼓励我们养成良好的阅读习惯。 考查动词辨析。pass通过；develop逐渐养成，发展；depend依赖；choose选择。根据“...the good habit of reading”可知，此处指老师鼓励学生要“养成”阅读习惯。故选B。 18. —Do you like talking with your friends on telephone or by e-mail? —________. I enjoy talking on WeChat. A. None B. All C. Both D. Neither 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你喜欢通过电话还是通过电子邮件与朋友交谈？——都不是。我喜欢在微信上聊天。 考查代词辨析。None都不，指三者及以上；All所有，指三者及以上；Both两者都；Neither两者都不。根据“on telephone or by e-mail”可知，是两者；结合“I enjoy talking on WeChat.”可知，此处是指两者都不，用neither表示。故选D。 19. —________ the population of your hometown?  —It’s about 3,000. A. What’s B. How many is C. How much is D. How’s 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你家乡的人口有多少？——大约3000人。 考查特殊疑问句。What’s是多少；How many is是多少；How much is是多少；How’s是怎样。询问人口多少用固定句式：what’s the population of，故选A。 20. Look! The dog is washing ________. It’s so cute.

How can I get in touch with her? —Don’t worry. She will phone you as soon as she comes back. A. has gone to B. has been to C. have gone to D. have been to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——露西去了伦敦。我怎样才能联系上她？——别担心。她一回来就会给你打电话。 考查has/have been to与has/have gone to的区别。has/have been to意为“去过某地”；has/have gone to意为“去了某地”。根据“How can I get in touch with her”和“She will phone you as soon as she comes back.”可知，露西去了伦敦，现在还未回来，又因为Lucy是第三人称单数，应该用has gone to。故选A。 22. My grandfather ________ for three years. But I will never forget the words he said to me. A. died B. has died C. has been dead D. has been death 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的祖父已经去世三年了。但我永远不会忘记他对我说的话。 考查动词时态。根据“for three years.”可知，空处时态为现在完成时，die是非延续性动词，不能与表示时间段的状语for three years连用；dead是形容词，可以与be动词构成系表结构，说明状态；主语为My grandfather，助动词用has，其后跟been dead。故选C。 23. —China is a great country with a history of about five ______ years. —Yes. And ______ of foreigners come to visit it every year. A. thousand; thousand B. thousands; thousands C. thousand; thousands D. thousands; thousand 【答案】C 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：——中国是一个有着约五千年历史的伟大国家。——是的。每年都有成千上万的外国人来参观。 考查数词。根据第一空前“five”可知，与具体数字连用时，表示大数的单词通常不加s，所以第一空用thousand，排除选项B和D。结合答句语境可知，当大数表示不确定的泛指时，则不仅要加s且要后接of，这样才能接名词，构成“thousands of成千上万”。故选C。 24. The Yangtze River is one of ________ rivers in the world. A. long B. longer C. longest D. the longest 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：长江是世界上最长的河流之一。 考查形容词最高级。one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最……之一”，故选D。 25. —Come to my home and let’s have tea you are free, Mark. —Sure, I will. A. whatever B. whenever C. wherever D. however 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：--马克，无论何时你有空，来我家，让我们一起品茶。--好的。 本题考查连词的用法。whatever 意为“不管什么”；whenever意为“不论何时”；wherever意为“无论哪里”；however意为“不管怎样”。根据you are free，可知，是无论何时你有空，故选B。 三、阅读理解(共20小题，计40分) 阅读下列短文，然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 A 阅读材料，选择最佳选项。 Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it? Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.” Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture. Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay attention to words and expressions rather than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time. Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable (合适的) for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them. 26. Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics? A. Linda & Curry. B. Linda & Mary. C. Curry & Frank. D. Frank & Mary. 27. What does Curry think of literary classics? A. They improve students’ reading skills. B. They develop students’ interest in culture. C. They help students learn more words. D. They can change students’ personalities (个性). 28. Frank thinks classics are not worth reading because ________. A. the writers live in different countries B. students prefer to read about life experiences C. students might pay more attention to words and expressions D. students might not understand the writing styles 29. Both Linda and Curry explain their ideas by ________. A. listing examples B. showing numbers C. giving quotes (引语) D. making comparisons (对比) 30. What does the passage talk about? A. Why literary classics become popular in high schools. B. Whether high school students should read literary classics. C. Why high school students should read literary classics. D. How high schools should help students improve reading skills. 【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要谈论了高中生是否应该读文学名著。四个人给出他们各自的观点。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics.”（Linda：我们没有足够的生活经验，所以我们可能难以理解更深层次的经典。但这不应该成为放弃阅读经典的理由。）以及“Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. ”（Curry：经典是我们祖先留给我们的财富。我们应该阅读它们并将其传下去。）可知Linda和Curry同意阅读文学名著，故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.”可知Curry认为经典培养学生对文化的兴趣。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay attention to words and expressions rather than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.”（没有背景和生活经历，学生们无法理解作家想要在他们的经典作品中表达什么。在阅读时，一些学生主要关注单词和表达，而不是隐藏的思想。因此，阅读经典可能是浪费时间。）可知Frank认为经典名著不值得读，因为学生可能会更注意单词和表达，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As Francis Bacon said, ‘Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.’”以及“As the old Chinese saying goes, ‘One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.’”可知Linda和Curry都通过引用名言来解释他们的想法，故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it?”可知本文主要谈论了高中生是否应该读文学名著。故选B。 B Where to go?

Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart. Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’, and it’ll make whatever you want; to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’. ” Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didnt need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied (满足). When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕) . So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out. Then the young couple stole (偷) the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said, “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could. And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt. 36. The passage is probably a(n) ________. A. folk story B. guide book C. science fiction D. science report 37. Put the things happened to them ill in correct order. a It began to produce salt. b The young husband threw it. c. The young couple stole it. d. The old couple got it. A. b-d-a-c B. b-a-d-c C. d-a-c-b D. d-c-a-b 38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The coffee. B. The horse. C. The mill. D. The chocolate. 39. How did the young husband’s feelings change? A. sorry-sad-excited B. thirsty-excited-afraid C. happy-nervous-proud D. surprised-thankful-happy 40. Which one is the best title? A. Why the sea is salt. B. A coffee mill. C. The old couple. D. The young couple. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，通过讲述老年夫妻和年轻夫妻的故事来说明了海水为什么是咸的。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story.”可知，在用科学的思考方式之前，人们是用故事来解释这个问题的，可推断出文章是通过讲述民间故事来解释海水为什么是咸的，故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In return, he gave them a coffee mill”可知，老夫妻获得了一个磨粉机；根据倒数第二段“Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple.”可知，年轻夫妻偷了磨粉机；根据倒数第二段“‘Mill, please grind salt!’ he said. ‘It works!’ the wife shouted.”可知，年轻夫妻让磨粉机磨盐；根据倒数第二段“The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知，磨粉机一直磨盐，年轻的丈夫只能把它扔进了海里，正确顺序应为d-c-a-b，故选D。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“But then they noticed the salt went everywhere.”可知，磨粉机把盐磨得到处都是，推测年轻的妻子想要磨粉机停下来，故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy.”可知，一开始他们嫉妒不已；根据第三段“He was surprised to see it coming out.”可知，后来变得很兴奋；根据倒数第二段“The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知，因为磨粉机一直磨粉，他害怕了，尽可能远地把磨粉机扔进了大海里，可推断年轻丈夫的心理变化从渴望到兴奋再到害怕，故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段“Why is the sea salt? ”及最后一段“That’s why the sea is salt.”可知，全文是围绕话题“海水为什么是咸的”而讲述的故事，故选A。 D Jason Smith is the headteacher of a middle School in Warren Township, Indiana.

I played college basketball, cut my teammates’ hair before games, and I’ve been cutting my son’s hair for 17 years. So, I had professional clippers (理发剪) at home. I said, ‘If I go home and get my clippers and line you up, will you go back to class?’ He said, ‘Yeah, I will.’” Mr. Smith said. Mr. Smith is being praised by many people online after the story and photos were posted on a social networking website.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一位校长帮助学生理发，学生同意回班上课。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He said he just got his haircut and didn’t like the way it looked”可知他刚剪完头发，不喜欢它的样子，所以他拒绝脱掉帽子。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mr. Smith is being praised by many people online after the story and photos were posted on a social networking website.”可知这个故事和照片被发布在社交网站上后，史密斯在网上受到了许多人的赞扬，所以学生感谢校长，选项C“学生感谢了校长”符合语境。故选C。 43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“said sorry for his behavior and then went to class”可知学生因为他的行为感到抱歉，故此处划线部分和action意义相近。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Jason Smith耐心帮助学生剪发并开导其回去上课，可见他很善良。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。本文介绍了一位校长帮助学生理发，学生同意回班上课。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共55分) 四、听力填表(共5小题，计5分) 录音中有一篇短文，听录音两遍后，根据所听到的内容完成下面的表格(每空不多于三个词)。(录音播放前你有30秒钟的读题时间) 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How long Mary has been in China for ___46___ days.

I ____60____ (remember) this forever.” We can make best decisions when we stay calm. 【答案】51. were walking 52. to rest 53. washing 54. became 55. is crossing 56. was asked 57. must take 58. have waited 59. think 60. will remember 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述父亲和儿子在旅途休息时取水的故事告诉我们，当我们保持冷静时，我们可以做出最好的决定。 【51题详解】 句意：当他们走路时，他们碰巧经过一条河。句子是while引导的时间状语从句，从句常用进行时，结合“happened”可知，此处时态用过去进行时was/were doing，主语是复数，be用were。故填were walking。 【52题详解】 句意：他们累了，在那里停下来休息。根据“They were tired”可知，是指他们停下来休息，stop to do sth“停下来做某事”。故填to rest。 【53题详解】 句意：然后，儿子走到河边，看到一些女人正在那里洗衣服。根据“Then the son walked to the riverside”可知，是指走到河边时，看见一些女人正在洗衣服，see sb doing sth“看见某人正在做某事”。故填washing。 【54题详解】 句意：因此，水变得很脏。根据“a bullock cart (牛车) started crossing the river.”可知，时态用一般过去时，动词用过去式became“变得”。故填became。 【55题详解】 句意：看，父亲。现在有一辆牛车正在过河，所以河水很脏，不能喝。根据“Look, Father.”及“now”可知，此处时态用现在进行时am/is/are doing，主语是第三人称单数，be用is。故填is crossing。 【56题详解】 句意：过了一会儿，儿子又被父亲叫去取些水。根据“... by his father”可知，主语与ask是动宾关系，结合“The water was still dirty,”可知，时态是一般过去时，因此空处用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done，主语是单数，be用was。故填was asked。 【57题详解】 句意：这次我必须取回干净的水，即使这将花费我很长时间。根据“even though it will take me a long time.”可知，是指必须取回干净的水，用must表示“必须”，后跟动词原形。故填must take。 【58题详解】 句意：我已经等了你将近半个小时。根据“for almost half an hour”可知，句子时态用现在完成时have/has done，主语是I，助动词用have。故填have waited。 【59题详解】 句意：现在，想想是什么让水变干净了。本句是祈使句，动词用原形。故填think。 【60题详解】 句意：我将永远记住这一点。分析语境可知，此处指将永远记住父亲说的哲理，用一般将来时will do。故填will remember。 六、综合填空(共10空，计10分) 阅读下面短文。根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。 On a sunny morning, a group of boys were p___61___ a game around a small tree.

The boy’s mother was e___66___ about the result.

When they came to realize how high they were, they were full of f___67___ and they were afraid of falling down. I, however, looked only u___68___. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and h___69___ until I reached the top.” It is true in life that if we just keep going forward (向前) w_____70_____ looking back, we’re more likely (可能) to reach our goals (目标). 【答案】61. (p)laying 62. (f)irst 63. (N)obody 64. (b)est 65. (I)nstead 66. (e)xcited 67. (f)ear 68. (u)p 69. (h)igher 70. (w)ithout 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一群孩子进行爬树比赛的故事。这篇文章告诉我们一个道理：在实现目标的过程中，要勇往直前，不要回头，就能实现目标。 【61题详解】 句意：一个晴朗的早晨，一群男孩子正在小树周围玩游戏。根据“a group of boys were ... a game”和“looking at their children as they played”可知，一群男孩子在玩游戏。play“玩”，且were后加现在分词构成过去进行时。故填(p)laying。 【62题详解】 句意：他们决定看看谁是第一个到树顶的男生。根据“who was the ... boy to get to the top of the tree”和首字母可知，此处指第一个到树顶的男生。first“第一”。故填(f)irst。 【63题详解】 句意：没有人认为他会赢得比赛。根据“He was the shortest child in the group ... thought that he would win the competition.”和首字母可知，因为个子矮，所以没有人认为他会赢。nobody“没有人”。故填(N)obody。 【64题详解】 句意：所有男孩子尽最大努力尽可能爬得高。根据“All of the boys tried their ... to climb as high as they could.”和首字母可知，此处指尽最大努力爬树。try one’s best to do“尽最大努力做某事”，固定短语。故填(b)est。 【65题详解】 句意：相反，大卫是获胜者。根据“They all made it halfway up the tree before David did, but in the end, they didn’t succeed.”和“David was the winner.”和首字母可知，其他人没有成功，相反，大卫成功了。instead“相反”。故填(I)nstead。 【66题详解】 句意：男孩的母亲对结果感到很激动。根据“David was the winner.”和“The boy’s mother was ... about the result.”可知，大卫获胜了，他母亲应是激动的。excited“激动的”。故填(e)xcited。 【67题详解】 句意：当他们意识到自己有多高时，他们充满了恐惧，害怕摔倒。根据“they were afraid of falling down”和首字母可知，他们害怕摔倒，所以应是充满恐惧。fear“恐惧”。故填(f)ear。 【68题详解】 句意：然而，我只向上看。根据“When I saw how close I was”和“I, however, looked only ...”可知，向上看才能看到里树顶多近。look up“向上看”，固定短语。故填(u)p。 【69题详解】 句意：当我看到自己离得有多近时，我一直越爬越高，直到到达山顶。根据“I kept going higher and ...”和首字母可知，我越怕越高。“比较级+and+比较级”表示“越来越……”，故用“高”high的比较级。故填(h)igher。 【70题详解】 句意：生活中，如果我们不回头，继续前进，我们更有可能实现目标。根据“if we just keep going forward (向前) ... looking back, we’re more likely (可能) to reach our goals (目标).”和首字母可知，一直往前不回头，就有可能实现目标。without“没有”。故填(w)ithout。 七、阅读表达(共5题，计10分) 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。 “Green” is more than just a color.

What do you think of it? Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.” Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture. Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay attention to words and expressions rather than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time. Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable (合适的) for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them. 26. Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics? A Linda & Curry. B. Linda & Mary. C. Curry & Frank. D. Frank & Mary. 27. What does Curry think of literary classics? A. They improve students’ reading skills. B. They develop students’ interest in culture. C. They help students learn more words. D. They can change students’ personalities (个性). 28. Frank thinks classics are not worth reading because ________. A. the writers live in different countries B. students prefer to read about life experiences C. students might pay more attention to words and expressions D. students might not understand the writing styles 29. Both Linda and Curry explain their ideas by ________. A. listing examples B. showing numbers C. giving quotes (引语) D. making comparisons (对比) 30. What does the passage talk about? A. Why literary classics become popular in high schools. B. Whether high school students should read literary classics. C. Why high school students should read literary classics. D. How high schools should help students improve reading skills. B Where to go?

Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart. Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’, and it’ll make whatever you want; to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’. ” Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didnt need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied (满足). When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕) . So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out. Then the young couple stole (偷) the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said, “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could. And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt. 36. The passage is probably a(n) ________. A. folk story B. guide book C. science fiction D. science report 37. Put the things happened to them ill in correct order. a. It began to produce salt. b. The young husband threw it. c. The young couple stole it. d. The old couple got it. A. b-d-a-c B. b-a-d-c C. d-a-c-b D. d-c-a-b 38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.

So, he offered to cut the student’s hair, if he agreed to go back to class. “I’ve been cutting hair most of my life. I played college basketball, cut my teammates’ hair before games, and I’ve been cutting my son’s hair for 17 years. So, I had professional clippers (理发剪) at home.
