Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing. A chemical called “chlorophyll (叶绿素)” in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” it’s time to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their foodmaking factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees like maples (枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn. 39. Which of the following can you put in the box? sunlight+ □?□+CO2 → glucose A. water B. sugar C. wind D. air 40. Why do the leaves turn yellow in autumn? A. Because they are short of glucose and energy. B. Because they are short of sunlight and water. C. Because they are short of sunlight and CO2. D. Because they are short of water and CO2. 41. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. B. During winter, trees live on the food they store in summer. C. Trees begin to stop making food and to have a rest in summer. D. During winter, some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Season changing B. Color changing of leaves C. Sunlight and water D. Colorful leaves 【答案】39. A 40. B 41. C 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了五颜六色的树叶变化的原因。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖) , a kind of sugar.”可知，植物利用阳光将水和二氧化碳转化为葡萄糖。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water.”可知树叶因缺乏阳光和水而变黄。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer.”可知，树木在冬天靠在夏季储存的食物生存，而不是在夏季休息。故选C。 【42题详解】 最佳标题题。本文讲述了五颜六色的树叶变化的原因。故最佳标题为：树叶颜色的变化。故选B。 C One day, a student asked his teacher, “What is greed?” The teacher didn’t answer his question directly, but asked the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he could find. But there was a rule: as he passed through the factory, he could not turn back. The student went to the chocolate factory. As he walked, he saw a large chocolate bar. He liked it, but he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going. He kept walking and saw another chocolate bar. This one was a little bigger. But again, he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going. As he got to the end of the factory, he saw fewer chocolate bars, and none of them were as large as the earlier ones. He felt it was a pity to keep going. Finally, he gave up. He went back to his teacher empty-handed and explained what happened. The teacher told him, “You liked the first chocolate bar, but you kept looking for a bigger one. And later, you realized that you had gave up the best chocolate bar because you thought you could find a better one. That is called greed.” Sometimes, we let go of good things in our life because we think we can find something even better. You should learn to make your choices wisely. 43. How did the teacher answer the student’s question? A. By asking him to experience. B. By setting examples. C. By giving him the answer. D. By discussing with him. 44. Why did the student refuse to pick up the first chocolate bar? A. Because he didn’t like the chocolate at all. B. Because the teacher didn’t ask him to pick it up. C. Because he thought he could find a bigger one later. D. Because the teacher advised him to choose the next one. 45. What does the underlined word “greed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. always talking with others B. always thinking about others C. always worrying about worse things D. always wanting more and better things 46. What can we learn from the passage? A. The student didn’t get the answer at the end of the story. B. The teacher stopped his student asking meaningless questions. C. People sometimes give up good things even the best because they are greedy. D. The student went back without a chocolate bar because he couldn’t find the largest one. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. D 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位老师通过让一名同学去巧克力工厂挑一块最大的巧克力来解释什么是贪婪的故事。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The teacher didn’t answer his question directly, but asked the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he could find.”可知，老师并没有直接解释，而是让学生自己去经历。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He liked it, but he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going.”可知，学生没有拿第一块巧克力是因为他认为后边可以找到一个更大的。故选C。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“And later, you realized that you had gave up the best chocolate bar because you thought you could find a better one. That is called greed.”可知，“greed”就是总是想要更多更好的东西。故选D。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And later, you realized that you had gave up the best chocolate bar because you thought you could find a better one. That is called greed.”可知，人们有时会因为贪婪而放弃好的，甚至是最好的东西。故选C。 D We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us, but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we hardly notice that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling (环绕) the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity (重力)”. This story has become one of the most popular examples of “cureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, we shouldn’t forget the whole process of creative thinking. Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever came out. The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our daily life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we will catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest. 47. Why could Isaac Newton discover the “gravity”? A. Because he studied math for a long time. B. Because a falling apple from the tree hit him. C. Because he enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. D. Because he prepared a lot before and went or thinking after. 48. How does the writer mainly develop the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By explaining differences. 49. Which of the following statement about Newton is TRUE? A. In order to find the gravity, he studied math. B. He seldom used what he learned to examine gravity. C. In 1687, he began to write his greatest scientific work. D. In 1666, he thought gravity kept the moon circling the earth. 50. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Careful watching makes really great work. B. Catching the right moment is the key to the success. C. Creative thinking is to those who are well-prepared. D. Every bright idea can be developed into creative thinking. 【答案】47. D 48. B 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以牛顿的故事为例告诉我们创造性思维实际是一个过程。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before.”可推知，牛顿发现了重力，是因为他之前做了大量的准备工作和思考。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Let’s look at what happened in 1666.”可知，作者通过举例1666年牛顿发现重力来展开文章的。故选B。 49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Let’s look at what happened in 1666.”和“He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth.”可知，牛顿认为重力使得月球围绕地球运行是在1666年看到苹果掉落的时候开始思考的。故选D。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.”以及通读全文可知，我们获得创造性思维的果实需要付出很多，准备的时间越长，收获的果实越甜。作者想告诉我们创造性思维属于那些准备充分的人。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共45分） 四、单词拼写（共20小题，计20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。 51.

Are you healthy? Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter. It is a big problem and this makes them worry a lot. Experts say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits. Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets（甜食）and ice-cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite（食欲）. It’s important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England judges（法官） often decided whether a man was telling the truth（实情）by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow（吞下）, it meant that he wasn’t telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have problems in swallowing anything dry. 根据短文内容，回答问题。 81.

Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing. A chemical called “chlorophyll (叶绿素)” in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” it’s time to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their foodmaking factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples (枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn. 39. Which of the following can you put in the box? sunlight+ □?□+CO2 → glucose A. water B. sugar C. wind D. air 40. Why do the leaves turn yellow in autumn? A. Because they are short of glucose and energy. B. Because they are short of sunlight and water. C. Because they are short of sunlight and CO2. D. Because they are short of water and CO2. 41. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. B. During winter, trees live on the food they store in summer. C. Trees begin to stop making food and to have a rest in summer. D. During winter, some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Season changing B. Color changing of leaves C. Sunlight and water D. Colorful leaves C One day, a student asked his teacher, “What is greed?” The teacher didn’t answer his question directly, but asked the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he could find. But there was a rule: as he passed through the factory, he could not turn back. The student went to the chocolate factory. As he walked, he saw a large chocolate bar. He liked it, but he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going. He kept walking and saw another chocolate bar. This one was a little bigger. But again, he thought he could find an even bigger one if he kept going. As he got to the end of the factory, he saw fewer chocolate bars, and none of them were as large as the earlier ones. He felt it was a pity to keep going. Finally, he gave up. He went back to his teacher empty-handed and explained what happened. The teacher told him, “You liked the first chocolate bar, but you kept looking for a bigger one. And later, you realized that you had gave up the best chocolate bar because you thought you could find a better one. That is called greed.” Sometimes, we let go of good things in our life because we think we can find something even better. You should learn to make your choices wisely. 43. How did the teacher answer the student’s question? A. By asking him to experience. B. By setting examples. C. By giving him the answer. D. By discussing with him. 44. Why did the student refuse to pick up the first chocolate bar? A. Because he didn’t like the chocolate at all. B. Because the teacher didn’t ask him to pick it up. C. Because he thought he could find a bigger one later. D. Because the teacher advised him to choose the next one. 45. What does the underlined word “greed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. always talking with others B. always thinking about others C. always worrying about worse things D. always wanting more and better things 46. What can we learn from the passage? A. The student didn’t get the answer at the end of the story. B. The teacher stopped his student asking meaningless questions. C. People sometimes give up good things even the best because they are greedy. D. The student went back without a chocolate bar because he couldn’t find the largest one. D We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us, but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we hardly notice that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling (环绕) the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity (重力)”. This story has become one of the most popular examples of “cureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, we shouldn’t forget the whole process of creative thinking. Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever came out. The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our daily life. In school we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we will catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest. 47. Why could Isaac Newton discover the “gravity”? A.

It is a big problem and this makes them worry a lot. Experts say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits. Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets（甜食）and ice-cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite（食欲）. It’s important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England judges（法官） often decided whether a man was telling the truth（实情）by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow（吞下）, it meant that he wasn’t telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have problems in swallowing anything dry. 根据短文内容，回答问题。 81.
