After three days, he finished it at last!”可知，这位画家在安静的房间里认真地画画，三天后，完成了满意的肖像，因此可以推断出他是一位勤奋的画家。故选C。 【17题详解】 句意：他在一个安静的房间里认真地画画和上色。 quickly迅速地；seriously认真地；differently不同地。根据下文“After three days, he finished it at last!”可知，三天之后，他终于完成了，所以此处是指画家在安静的房间里认真地画画和上色。故选B。 【18题详解】 句意：当画家把画展示出来的时候，大家都说它太棒了。 colorful多彩的；interesting有趣的；fantastic非常棒的。根据下文“The king was very pleased to see this beautiful portrait”可知，国王看到这幅美丽的肖像非常高兴，所以此处是指这幅画像很棒。故选C。 【19题详解】 句意：在这幅画像中，国王骑在马上，露出一条腿，手里拿着弓，闭着一只眼睛瞄准箭靶。 showing展示；moving移动；touching接触。根据语境可知，在肖像中，国王坐在马上，显现出他只有一条腿的那一侧。故选A。 【20题详解】 句意：国王看到这幅美丽的肖像非常高兴，并给了那位有才华的画家很多钱。 popular受欢迎的；talented有才华的；handsome英俊的。根据上文“The king was very pleased to see this beautiful portrait”可知，国王很满意这幅画，并给了画家很多钱，这表明画家是有才华的，因为画家为国王创作的这幅画不仅准确地捕捉了国王的形象，还以一种艺术的方式展现了他的残疾，使其显得既真实又尊贵。故选B。 第三部分 阅读理解（共 15 小题，计 30 分） 八、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，计 30分) A ①How about outgoing people? Studies show they like places with many people around like a park. And they like to go to these places with friends. In fact, these people don’t really care where they go. They just want to stay and talk with people. ②Different people like to do different things. And they also like to go to different places. Some studies show the following interesting results. ③However, things seem to be a little different for many young people. Many of them like to spend time outside like climbing mountains on weekends. And because of the popularity of “20 minutes for parks”, more and more young people like walking in the park every day or on the weekend. Why do they like staying outside? Are they all outgoing people? Maybe not. Some studies say this is because there’s too much work or schoolwork for young people and they need time to relax and exercise. So they just go outside whether (是否) with others or not. Is it the same for you? But for your safety, you’d better go with your family or friends when climbing the mountains far away from home. ④Quiet people like to go to quiet places like the bank (岸) of a lake or a library.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了不同性格的人喜欢去不同类型的地方以及他们选择这些地方的原因。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。分析段落内容，②为总起句，介绍不同人喜欢去不同的地方；④提到安静的人喜欢安静的地方；前段先说了安静的人，紧接着①才会用“how about…”来引出外向的人喜欢人多的地方；③讨论年轻人喜欢外出的原因。因此顺序为②④①③。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“How about outgoing people?

He asked a person to train it well. The trainer fed it well and taught it many things, and they soon became best friends. At an important festival, the king decided to ride the elephant around his country. The trainer cleaned the elephant and made it look beautiful before giving it to the king. As the king rode the elephant around, many people got around him, watching the elephant and shouting, “Elephant King! Elephant King!” The king felt that people liked the elephant more than him and got unhappy about it. So he left quickly. After that, the king asked the trainer, “Can the elephant dance on the edge (边缘) of a mountain?” The trainer said, “Yes.” The king then ordered the elephant to dance like that the next day. The next day, the trainer brought the elephant to the edge and danced. Then the king asked if the elephant could stand on three legs. The trainer asked the elephant to do so, and it quickly lifted (抬起) one leg. The king then asked it to stand on two legs, and the elephant did it. Finally, the king asked it to dance with one leg. When the elephant did so, all the people got excited. That made the king unhappier. He asked it to lift all four legs! The trainer knew the king wanted the elephant to die, so he told it to fly away. Soon, the king calmed down (冷静) and knew how bad he was to be jealous of (嫉妒) an elephant. 31. What did the king think of the elephant at first after he got it? A. He didn’t like it. B.

C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个国王因为嫉妒人们对大象的喜爱超过自己，而试图通过一系列高难度的命令来为难大象，最终导致自己感到更加不快。然而，在关键时刻，大象的训练师通过让大象“飞走”的方式，让国王意识到了自己的嫉妒心是多么地糟糕。这个故事告诉我们，嫉妒是一种不良的情绪，它可能会让我们做出不理智的事情，甚至伤害到他人和自己。我们应该学会欣赏他人的优点，而不是盲目地嫉妒或攀比。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He asked a person to train it well. The trainer fed it well and taught it many things, and they soon became best friends.”可知，国王让人好好训练大象，并且他们很快成为了最好的朋友；据此可以推断，国王一开始就很关心大象。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The king felt that people liked the elephant more than him and got unhappy about it.”可知，国王因为觉得人们更喜欢大象而不喜欢他，所以感到不高兴。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Then the king asked if the elephant could stand on three legs…The king then asked it to stand on two legs, and the elephant did it. Finally, the king asked it to dance with one leg… He asked it to lift all four legs!”可知，国王要求大象用三条腿、两条腿站立、一条腿跳舞，甚至要大象抬起四条腿；据此可以推断，国王让大象做了非常困难和危险的事情。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。综合全文尤其是根据最后一段“The trainer knew the king wanted the elephant to die, so he told it to fly away.”可知，训练师不仅教会了大象很多技能，还在关键时刻通过让大象“飞走”的方式挽救了它的生命，并巧妙地让国王意识到了自己的嫉妒心；据此可以推断，训练师既有智慧也很善良。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文尤其是根据最后一段“Soon, the king calmed down and knew how bad he was to be jealous of an elephant.”可知，本文讲述一个国王与大象及其训练师之间的故事；国王因为嫉妒人们对大象的喜爱超过自己而试图为难大象，最终导致自己感到更加不快，故事告诉我们，应该学会欣赏他人的优点，而不是盲目地嫉妒或攀比。故选B。 B卷（50 分） 一、短文填空。(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 分) 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文内，使短文意思正确通顺(每词限用一次)。 anyone bad boring good however hungry play result talent tiring win you Nick was a proud (骄傲的) boy.

In many countries like the UK, it’s a quite popular activity for people to do in their free time. These days, gardening is also popular in China. Gardening is good. Firstly, it helps us stay healthy.

We can learn from many studies that if we garden two or three times a week, we will be more relaxed than others. Gardening can also teach us interesting and useful things about plants. In this way, we can know why plants make O2 and how much water is necessary to help a plant live. After that, we will know how to care for the plants better. Some people may worry that gardening is an activity needing a big house or yard (院子). In fact, small places on your balcony are good enough if there’s sunshine there. Others may worry that they have too much work to do and can’t care for the plants every day.

(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Useful Free Time Activities Free time activities can help us relax and enjoy life. What do you usually do in your free time? Many students like to spend their free time playing on the phone. Of course, it’s relaxing, but they can’t learn anything from it. Here are some activities that are good for you. Reading is a great activity. It can help us get some language skills and new knowledge (知识). Books can take you to different worlds and teach you about different cultures (文化). Reading is also a quiet and relaxing activity. Playing sports is another good activity. It keeps you healthy. There are many kinds of sports and you can find one you’re interested in. Sports like soccer, basketball and swimming are fun and exciting. They help you make friends and learn how to work with others. If you like music, learning a musical instrument can be a great way to spend your free time. It can be the guitar, piano or any other instrument. Making music is enjoyable and helps to improve your memory (记忆). It also helps you to show your feelings. Volunteering is a meaningful (有意义的) activity. You help others and at the same time, it is good for you. You can volunteer at the old people’s home, the animal center or a school. These experiences will teach you something useful. Volunteering is a way to give back to society (社会) and make a difference. 56. What does the writer think of playing on the phone? It’s ________ but ________. 57. Why does the writer think we should read books? (Use the words from the passage) Because books are usually about ________ and ________, and we can get some language skills from them. 58. How is playing sports good for us? (No more than five words) It keeps us healthy, helps us make friends and knows the ________. 59. Why is volunteering meaningful?

Books can take you to different worlds and teach you about different cultures (文化).”可知，书可以给你新的知识和教你不同的文化。故填new knowledge；different cultures。 【58题详解】 根据第三段最后一句话“They help you make friends and learn how to work with others.”可知该题横线前面是一个定冠词，后面缺少一个表示与他人合作的名词。“合作”的名词是cooperation，与他人合作就是cooperation with others。故填cooperation with others。 【59题详解】 根据第五段第二句话“You help others and at the same time, it is good for you.”还有最后一句话“Volunteering is a way to give back to society and make a difference.”可知，做志愿活动有意义是因为你在帮助他人的同时可以回馈社会。故填give back to society ；helping。 【60题详解】 通过阅读整篇文章，我们知道这些活动对学生他们自己有帮助，也有社会有帮助。themselves意思是“他们自己”，是第三人称复数的反身代词， society是“社会”的意思。故填themselves；society。 四、书面表达。(计15分) 61. 假如下图是你的同学Tom的空闲活动。请根据图示写一篇短文进行描述，并与你的空闲活动进行对比。 注意： 1. 词数70左右； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Tom is my classmate.
