A few minutes earlier I was in bed when my grandma’s scream woke me up. A fire had broken out her room and woke her. Hearing her, my older brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything, the fire burned’ it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room. I stood there shivering (发抖): I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed (叹气). I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we lost all of our things. The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered. I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own. Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. 32．What can we know from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A．It didn’t take long to burn the house out. B．We were all woken by the fire.

B．Everything that was meaningful had survived the fire. C．The fire helped me to become the person who I am today. D．The love we share is far more important than what we own. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者一家在经历了一场大火后，失去了房子里的一切．可是，家人都还活着，让作者意识到以后的日子里大家会彼此相亲相爱地生活，大家会分享彼此的爱，这才是生活中最重要的。 32．细节理解题。根据“The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood.

In 2005, he started a summer programme for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made fantastic things since the school started. They have built a rollercoaster. They have made a rope bridge from plastic shopping bags. They have made tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats. At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and power drills. Some children have cut themselves when using a knife, or hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times. Gever Tulley’s ideas have worked very well. A lot of children have gone to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided to create a “real” school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small—it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles (理念) as Tinkering School. Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive. They have praised (表扬) the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing around” all the time. The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher.” she told us. “But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.” 36．Which is the best description of Tinkering School? A．A school where children are taught different subjects by different teachers. B．A school where children learn important life skills by building things together. C．A factory where children get interested in building things by working together. D．A factory where children learn about how to use the tools safely by following rules. 37．Which is TRUE about safety at Tinkering School? A．The school isn’t safe for kids at all. B．Children have never hurt themselves badly. C．Children have never had an accident or injury. D．No safety information has been mentioned there. 38．Read the underlined sentences and infer (推断) what might Gever Tulley say to these people? A．Children also need to follow strict school rules like wearing uniforms. B．All children will learn to build rollercoasters, rope bridges and boats here. C．Children can plan to make things and learn much by doing things in teams. D．Most articles say that children are more serious here than at many other schools. 39．What does Tina Cooper think of the life at Brightworks? A．It changes her ideas about school life. B．It makes her feel bored from time to time. C．It makes her love San Francisco even more. D．It seems as normal as her school life before. 40．From the passage, children there are likely to learn the following things EXCEPT ______. A．Teamwork is important in our work B．We should be careful when using tools C．It is important in life to eat healthy food D．It is important to be friendly and help others 【答案】36．B 37．B 38．C 39．A 40．C 【导语】本文介绍了加利福尼亚的计算机科学家Gever的教育理念及他所创办的学校的相关情况。 36．细节理解题。根据“Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build.”可知，Gever Tulley和他的团队帮助孩子们大胆思考，并为他们想要建造的新事物制定计划。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据“Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years.”可知，这个学校已经存在很多年了，但这些年来没有人受过重伤。故选B。 38．推理判断题。根据“But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just ‘playing around’ all the time.”可知，但也有批评的声音。有人说孩子们在Brightworks学得不够。他们觉得学生和老师总是在“玩”。由此推知，Gever会告诉这些人他们在这里学的东西，故选C。 39．推理判断题。根据“But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.”可知，Tina改变了她对学校生活的看法，故选A。 40．细节理解题。根据“The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together.”，“The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times.”和“The school is very small—it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles (理念) as Tinkering School.”可知，没有提到健康饮食问题，故选C。 B）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Life is like a journey. On the way, we have happiness and sadness. 41 It’s not difficult for anyone around you to tell his regrets. When we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets? Make better plans. If you start to do something, you’d better make a full plan before doing it. 42 You will know what comes first and what comes last. Live a more active life. You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. 43 “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. Find the right friend. A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to deliberate (仔细考虑) it when you choose a friend. 44 When you get into trouble, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results. Never fear failure. Everybody fails. 45 We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves. Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so. A．The earlier, the better. B．You also need to be kind.

I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often daydreamed about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过7个词) 61．Why did Gulliver agree to be a doctor? 62．What was Gulliver’s job on the ship? 63．How old was Gulliver when he first started his adventure to the sea? 64．Did the journey go well after they arrived near Tasmania? 65．What do you think of Gulliver according to the passage? 【答案】61．To please his father. 62．The ship’s doctor. 63．25 years old. 64．No, it didn’t. 65．I think Gulliver is adventurous and ambitious. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《格列佛游记》，讲的是故事主角的几段成长经历。 61．根据“I wanted to please him, so I said, ‘Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.’”可知，格列佛答应父亲去当医生是为了取悦父亲。故填To please his father. 62．根据“The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor.”可知，船长给了格列佛一份船上医生的工作。故填The ship’s doctor. 63．根据“In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England.”及“So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol.”可知，格列佛出生于1674年，在1699年第一次开始海上冒险，因此这时的他25岁。故填25 years old. 64．根据“Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.”及下文“Within an hour, a big storm began.…”可知，他们的旅程进展顺利，直到有一天早上，他们到达了南太平洋塔斯马尼亚附近的某个地方，开始遇到了暴风雨，因此他们到达塔斯马尼亚附近后，旅途开始变得不顺利了。故填No, it didn’t. 65．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think Gulliver is adventurous and ambitious. 六、书面表达（满分20分） 66．假设你是Daniel，你的英国笔友Paul想要结交更多的朋友。你通过电子邮件，把你最好的朋友Jack介绍给他。Jack的情况见下表： 姓名 Jack 年龄 15 外貌 圆脸，黑色短发，明亮而笑眯眯的眼睛 个性 幽默 （自由发挥一点） 真诚的朋友（自由发挥一点） 爱好 Travelling 上周参加了学校去世界公园（the World Park）的郊游。 DIY 对DIY着迷，阅读了很多关于DIY的书 学校生活 有大量时间进行课外活动 所有科目中最喜欢英语，学习外语其乐无穷 其他情况 对了解不同种类的鸟类感兴趣，是观鸟俱乐部的一员。 最喜欢冬季，因为…… 理想 长大后想成为……，因为……（自由发挥一点） 注意： 1. 词数100左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 2. 内容必须包括表格中所有信息，并作适当的发挥。 Dear Paul, How are you?

Chinese legends (传说) are now part of the big video game world. This is a world where Western stories and heroes used to be the only stars. But things are changing! On Tuesday, a new game called Black Myth: Wukong was released. It’s a game where you can play as a monkey hero from a famous Chinese story. On the first day, 1.6 million players from all over the world were playing it online. That’s more than the players of games like Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Elden Ring! Black Myth: Wukong is special because it shows the world the creativity of Chinese game makers and the magic of Chinese culture. Before this game, most games had heroes from Western stories. But now, we have a game that tells a Chinese legend. The game is doing really well.

There are many more Chinese legends that can be turned into games. If game makers keep using these stories, they can make more great games and make a lot of money too. So, what do you think?

C I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up burning to the ground. A few minutes earlier I was in bed when my grandma’s scream woke me up. A fire had broken out her room and woke her. Hearing her, my older brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything, the fire burned’ it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room. I stood there shivering (发抖): I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed (叹气). I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we lost all of our things. The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered. I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own. Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. 32．What can we know from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A．It didn’t take long to burn the house out. B．We were all woken by the fire. C．The fire happened in an early morning. D．All of us tried to put out the fire. 33．At the beginning of which paragraph can we put the sentence “As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time.”? A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5 34．What does the underlined phrase “took hold of” probably mean? A．entered B．burned C．caught D．influenced 35．Which sentence best shows the central theme (主题) in the passage? A．We were helpless because we had lost all of our things. B．Everything that was meaningful had survived the fire. C．The fire helped me to become the person who I am today. D．The love we share is far more important than what we own. D Gever Tulley is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer programme for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made fantastic things since the school started. They have built a rollercoaster. They have made a rope bridge from plastic shopping bags. They have made tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats. At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and power drills. Some children have cut themselves when using a knife, or hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times. Gever Tulley’s ideas have worked very well. A lot of children have gone to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided to create a “real” school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small—it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles (理念) as Tinkering School. Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive. They have praised (表扬) the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing around” all the time. The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher.” she told us. “But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.” 36．Which is the best description of Tinkering School? A．A school where children are taught different subjects by different teachers. B．A school where children learn important life skills by building things together. C．A factory where children get interested in building things by working together. D．A factory where children learn about how to use the tools safely by following rules. 37．Which is TRUE about safety at Tinkering School? A．The school isn’t safe for kids at all. B．Children have never hurt themselves badly. C．Children have never had an accident or injury. D．No safety information has been mentioned there. 38．Read the underlined sentences and infer (推断) what might Gever Tulley say to these people? A．Children also need to follow strict school rules like wearing uniforms. B．All children will learn to build rollercoasters, rope bridges and boats here. C．Children can plan to make things and learn much by doing things in teams. D．Most articles say that children are more serious here than at many other schools. 39．What does Tina Cooper think of the life at Brightworks? A．It changes her ideas about school life. B．It makes her feel bored from time to time. C．It makes her love San Francisco even more. D．It seems as normal as her school life before. 40．From the passage, children there are likely to learn the following things EXCEPT ______. A．Teamwork is important in our work B．We should be careful when using tools C．It is important in life to eat healthy food D．It is important to be friendly and help others B）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Life is like a journey. On the way, we have happiness and sadness. 41 It’s not difficult for anyone around you to tell his regrets. When we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets? Make better plans. If you start to do something, you’d better make a full plan before doing it. 42 You will know what comes first and what comes last. Live a more active life. You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. 43 “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. Find the right friend. A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well.

I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often daydreamed about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过7个词) 61．Why did Gulliver agree to be a doctor? 62．What was Gulliver’s job on the ship? 63．How old was Gulliver when he first started his adventure to the sea? 64．Did the journey go well after they arrived near Tasmania? 65．What do you think of Gulliver according to the passage? 六、书面表达（满分20分） 66．假设你是Daniel，你的英国笔友Paul想要结交更多的朋友。你通过电子邮件，把你最好的朋友Jack介绍给他。Jack的情况见下表： 姓名 Jack 年龄 15 外貌 圆脸，黑色短发，明亮而笑眯眯的眼睛 个性 幽默 （自由发挥一点） 真诚的朋友（自由发挥一点） 爱好 Travelling 上周参加了学校去世界公园（the World Park）的郊游。 DIY 对DIY着迷，阅读了很多关于DIY的书 学校生活 有大量时间进行课外活动 所有科目中最喜欢英语，学习外语其乐无穷 其他情况 对了解不同种类的鸟类感兴趣，是观鸟俱乐部的一员。 最喜欢冬季，因为…… 理想 长大后想成为……，因为……（自由发挥一点） 注意： 1. 词数100左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 2. 内容必须包括表格中所有信息，并作适当的发挥。 Dear Paul, How are you?
