1. 答案:C
解析:
根据“She is so... that she has to stay in bed for some time.”(她如此……以至于得卧床一段时间)可知,生病严重应该是身体虚弱,“weak”意为“虚弱的”,符合语境,所以选择C选项。A选项“lonely”意为“孤独的”;B选项“strange”意为“奇怪的”;D选项“silly”意为“傻的”,都不符合生病卧床的身体状态描述。
2. 答案:B
解析:
“take a walk on such a terrible day”(在这样糟糕的天气出去散步),这种行为通常被认为是比较疯狂、不理智的,“crazy”意为“疯狂的”,符合语境,所以选择B选项。A选项“smart”意为“聪明的”;C选项“kind”意为“善良的”;D选项“brave”意为“勇敢的”,都不符合在恶劣天气散步这一行为对应的特点描述。
3. 答案:C
解析:
根据答语“No. I think you are just too lazy.”(不,我认为你只是太懒了)可知,前面说的是觉得自己数学差可能是因为自己太笨了,“stupid”意为“笨的,愚蠢的”,符合语境,所以选择C选项。A选项“lovely”意为“可爱的”;B选项“ugly”意为“丑陋的”,都不符合此处关于学习方面原因的语境。
4. 答案:A

根据答语“Don’t worry. You can try searching the Internet for some ways.”(别担心,你可以试着上网找些办法)可知,队里没人能帮自己解决问题,所以才建议上网找办法,“nobody”意为“没有人”,符合语境,所以选择A选项。B选项“everybody”意为“每个人”;C选项“somebody”意为“有人,某人”,都不符合此处表达没人帮忙的语境。
5. 答案:B

“though”意为“尽管”,引导让步状语从句;“unless”意为“除非,如果不”,引导条件状语从句;“because”意为“因为”,引导原因状语从句;“once”意为“一旦”,引导时间状语从句或条件状语从句。此处意思是在夏天牛奶很快就会变质,除非把它放进冰箱里,“unless”符合语境逻辑,所以选择B选项。
6. 答案:B
解析:
“so...that...”是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,此处表示玩具如此多以至于不能决定选哪一个,“so many”表示“如此多的”,符合这一句型结构及语境,所以选择B选项。A选项“too many”意为“太多的”,没有体现出导致后面结果的逻辑关系;C选项“very many”表达不正确,没有这样的搭配习惯。
7. 答案:C

9. 答案:C
解析:
“such...that...”结构中,“such”后接名词短语;“so...that...”结构中,“so”后接形容词或副词,此处“interesting”是形容词,要用“so...that...”结构,意为“如此……以至于……”,符合语境中电影如此有趣以至于想再看一遍的意思,所以选择C选项。A选项不符合用法;B选项“too...to...”意为“太……而不能……”,后面接动词原形,不符合此处句子结构。
10. 答案:B
解析:
“My grandparents”是两个人,“none”表示三者及以上都不;“neither”表示两者都不;“both”表示两者都;“all”表示三者及以上都。根据“were very tired, but...”(很累,但是……)可知,这里是说两人虽然很累,但都不想休息,“neither”符合语境,所以选择B选项。

20. 答案:D
解析:
根据前文的矛盾以及意识到只有一个胃,要想不死就得好好相处,所以这里应该是要学会分享,“share”意为“分享”,符合语境,所以选择D选项。A选项“die”意为“死”;B选项“laugh”意为“笑”;C选项“cry”意为“哭”,都不符合从故事中得出的要学会的行为的逻辑。

第一节 阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项.
A
On a sunny day, Mother Hen is playing with her chickens on the grass. Later, they are hungry, so Mother Hen takes her children out to look for food. She finds a few grains of wheat (麦子). So she asks her children to plant them in the garden. But none of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.
A few months later, they get a lot of wheat. She asks her children, “Who would like to take the wheat to the shop and get some flour (面粉)?” But her children don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the shop and brings the flour home.
After getting home, she asks “Who will make some bread with the flour?” They all say, “I’m not free”. When she makes the bread, she says to her chickens, “Who wants to eat the bread?” “I will,” they all say. “No, you can’t. You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pains, no gains (不劳无获). ’ ” She doesn’t give any bread to her children.
36. According to the passage, Mother Hen planted the wheat ________.
A.on the grass B.in the garden C.at home D.at the school
37. _______ take(s) the wheat to the shop.
A.The chickens B.Father Hen C.Mother Hen D.The whole family

36. 答案:B
解析:
文中提到“So she asks her children to plant them in the garden. But none of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.”,明确表明母鸡妈妈是在花园里种下了麦子,所以选择B选项。A选项“on the grass”(在草地上)不符合文中种植地点的描述;C选项“at home”(在家)文中未提及在此处种麦子;D选项“at the school”(在学校)也不符合故事里的相关情节设定。
37. 答案:C
解析:
文中说“She asks her children, ‘Who would like to take the wheat to the shop and get some flour (面粉)?’ But her children don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the shop and brings the flour home.”,由此可知是母鸡妈妈把麦子带到商店去的,所以选择C选项。A选项“The chickens”(小鸡们)它们都不愿意去做这件事;B选项“Father Hen”(公鸡爸爸)文中未提及公鸡爸爸参与此事;D选项“The whole family”(全家)不符合实际做这件事的主体情况,故排除这三个选项。

解析:
文章结尾处母鸡妈妈说“You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pains, no gains (不劳无获).’ ”,意思是小鸡们在面包制作前什么都不想做,所以母鸡妈妈不给它们面包,原因就是它们什么都没做,选择D选项。A选项“Because they aren’t at home.”(因为它们不在家)不符合原文情节;B选项“Because she doesn’t like them.”(因为她不喜欢它们)文中没有体现出这一点;C选项“Because they don’t want to eat it.”(因为它们不想吃)与原文中小鸡们都说想吃面包的内容不符,故排除这三个选项。

In a big shopping center, a little girl is sitting on a bench alone. She does not move. It seems that she is lost.
After some time, a man walks up to her. He is a father himself, so he feels worried about this little girl. "Hello, "he says. "Are you OK? Are your parents here with you?"
The little girl does not even look up at him! He gently sits down next to her and touches her shoulder(肩膀). Now she raises her head, and he can see that she is crying. He feels terrible!
He gives her a very warm smile and holds out his hand. She looks afraid, but she takes his hand.
He takes her to the shopping center information desk and makes an announcement(广播).
"Attention: a young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter, please come soon! Thank you. "
Minutes later, a woman comes running toward the desk. As soon as she sees the little girl, she shouts and runs up to her. She holds the girl into her arms tightly(紧紧地).
Then she turns to the man and says, "Thank you so much, sir. I was looking for her everywhere. I could not announce it here because she is deaf(聋的)"

39. 答案:C

40. 答案:D
解析:
文中提到“He gently sits down next to her and touches her shoulder(肩膀). Now she raises her head...”,说明一开始男子走向她的时候她并没有什么反应,是男子碰了她肩膀后她才抬起头,所以选择D选项。A选项“She raises her head.”是男子碰了她肩膀之后的动作;B选项“She looks happy.”(她看起来开心)不符合原文描述她当时的状态;C选项“She finds her parents.”(她找到了父母)这是后面的情节,不是男子刚走向她时的情况,故排除这三个选项。
41. 答案:C
解析:
男子带小女孩到购物中心的服务台然后进行广播,广播内容是“Attention: a young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter, please come soon!

C
Long ago in a small village, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors.
A little dog learned about this place and decided to visit it one day. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and went into the house. He looked around with his ears up high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog who often felt upset decided to pay a visit to the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he growled at them and was frightened to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “what a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”
Mirrors can’t change, but faces can.
43. What surprised the first dog as he went into the house?
A.He found that the house was very beautiful.
B.He found that there were many mirrors.

45. What does the story teach us?
A.Mirrors can tell you the truth.
B.Smile and the world will smile with you.
C.we should be nice to other people.
D.It’s not hard to be happy.
43. 答案:D
解析:
文中提到“To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly.”,可知第一只小狗进入屋子后惊讶地看到有1000只同样开心且对它友好微笑的小狗,所以选择D选项。A选项“He found that the house was very beautiful.”(他发现房子很漂亮)文中未提及房子外观漂亮与否;B选项“He found that there were many mirrors.”(他发现有很多镜子)不是让它惊讶的点;C选项“Other dogs had arrived earlier than him.”(其他狗比他来得更早)也不符合原文中它惊讶的内容描述,故排除这三个选项。
44. 答案:C
解析:
从第一只小狗的感受“He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, ‘This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.’”可以看出,它觉得自己受到了热情友好的回应,感觉自己是受欢迎的,所以决定再去,选择C选项。A选项“he wanted to bring more dogs”(他想带更多的狗来)文中未体现这一想法;B选项“he made many friends”(他交了很多朋友)并没有明确表明它交了朋友;D选项“he learned how to smile there”(他在那里学会了如何微笑)不是它决定再去的主要原因,故排除这三个选项。
45. 答案:B
解析:
故事中两只小狗怀着不同的心情进入满是镜子的屋子,开心的小狗看到的是同样开心友好的“小狗们”,而心情低落的小狗看到的则是不友好的“小狗们”,这其实是在告诉我们生活就像一面镜子,你对它微笑,它也会对你微笑,也就是“Smile and the world will smile with you.”,所以选择B选项。A选项“Mirrors can tell you the truth.”(镜子能告诉你真相)不是故事要传达的核心意思;C选项“we should be nice to other people.”(我们应该对别人友好)没有很好地体现出镜子与自身状态的关联;D选项“It’s not hard to be happy.”(快乐并不难)也不符合故事主要想表达的寓意,故排除这三个选项。
D
There was once a farmer who lived beside a baker. Each week, the farmer would sell a pound of butter to the baker and the baker would sell the farmer a pound of bread. This went on for some time.
But one day the baker wanted to weigh the butter that the farmer sold him. Then, he found that the butter was not a full pound. The baker was quite angry with this. He decided to take the farmer to court (法庭).
After they were in court the judge asked the farmer if he weighed the butter in the right way. The farmer said, “Sir, I do weigh my butter in the right way and I buy my bread in the same way.” The judge was curious (好奇). “What do you mean, farmer?”He asked. The farmer answered “Sir, I buy bread from this baker as soon as I sell him butter. Every time I buy bread from him. I take it home and put it on my scale. Then I sell him the same weight in butter. So if anyone is wrong, it is the baker.”
If you go through life cheating (欺骗) others then you should not be surprised when you are cheated yourself.
46. The baker and the farmer went to court because ________.
A.they sold the same thing
B.they sold different things
C.the baker found the butter wasn’t enough
D.the farmer found the butter wasn’t enough
47. The underlined word “scale” means ________ in Chinese.
A.天平 B.桌面 C.头顶 D.工坊
48. The structure (结构) of the passage may be ________.
A.The passage—part l: paragraph1&2 part 2: paragraph 3&4
B.The passage—part l: paragraph1 part 2: paragraph 2&3&4
C.The passage —part l: paragraph1&2&3 part 2: paragraph 4
D.The passage—part l: paragraph1 part 2: paragraph 2&3 part 3: paragraph 4
49. The best title of this passage is ________.
A.A baker and a farmer
B.Butter and bread
C.Weigh you and others in the same way
D.Treat others as you would be treated
46. 答案:C
解析:
文中提到“But one day the baker wanted to weigh the butter that the farmer sold him. Then, he found that the butter was not a full pound. The baker was quite angry with this. He decided to take the farmer to court (法庭).”,很明确是因为面包师发现农夫卖给他的黄油不足一磅,所以很生气,决定把农夫告上法庭,选择C选项。A选项“they sold the same thing”(他们卖相同的东西)不符合去法庭的原因;B选项“they sold different things”(他们卖不同的东西)也不是上法庭的缘由;D选项“the farmer found the butter wasn’t enough”(农夫发现黄油不够)与原文不符,是面包师发现的,故排除这三个选项。
47. 答案:A
解析:
根据文中“The farmer answered ‘Sir, I buy bread from this baker as soon as I sell him butter. Every time I buy bread from him. I take it home and put it on my scale. Then I sell him the same weight in butter.’”可知,农夫把从面包师那买的面包带回家放在这个东西上,然后按照同样的重量卖黄油给面包师,结合语境推测“scale”应该是称重的工具,即“天平”的意思,所以选择A选项。
48. 答案:C
解析:
文章第一段和第二段主要讲述了农夫和面包师之间进行黄油和面包交易,以及面包师发现农夫卖的黄油不足一磅后决定上法庭的事情,属于故事的起因部分;第三段则是在法庭上农夫向法官解释称重的方式,回应面包师的指控;第四段是通过这个故事得出的道理,即如果你欺骗别人,当自己被欺骗时也不要惊讶。所以结构应该是第一部分为第一段、第二段、第三段,第二部分为第四段,选择C选项。
49. 答案:D
解析:
文章通过农夫和面包师之间因为黄油重量问题引发的故事,最后得出“If you go through life cheating (欺骗) others then you should not be surprised when you are cheated yourself.”的道理,意思是你怎样对待别人,别人也会怎样对待你,也就是“Treat others as you would be treated”,所以选择D选项作为标题最合适。A选项“A baker and a farmer”(一个面包师和一个农夫)只是故事的人物主体,没有体现出核心寓意;B选项“Butter and bread”(黄油和面包)只是故事涉及的物品,不能概括全文;C选项“Weigh you and others in the same way”(以同样的方式衡量你和他人)没有很好地体现出故事要传达的对待他人的道理,故排除这三个选项。

Bob Bear was the richest animal in the forest but he was very mean (吝啬的). He never shared. When his poorer neighbors came to his house and asked for food, he shouted, “Go away! It’s MY food!”
One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party. Bob was not invited but he saw Sally’s friends give her a lot of nice presents (礼物). “I’d like some presents,” thought Bob, so he decided to have a party. He went to a shop. “I need some party food,” he told the shopkeeper. “How much is a large brunch of bananas?”
“It’s twenty-five dollars fifty,” she said. Bob was surprised. “That’s too expensive. How much is a bottle of honey?”
“A bottle of honey is twenty-eight dollars thirty,” said the shopkeeper. “A bottle of honey is more expensive...” Bob held up (举起) his paw (爪子). “I want the cheapest food,” he said. The shopkeeper gave him two black bananas and a small packet of cookie. “Good! These are cheap,” Bob smiled. “They only cost eleven dollars thirty.”
At the party Bob opened his presents — a bag of apples, five cartoons of orange juice. “These are not birthday presents!” he shouted angrily.
“We know you don’t like sharing so we were afraid there wouldn’t be enough food. That’s why we brought food,” said Fred Fox. “We are happy to share all we have with you because we want to be friends.” Bob’s face went red. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Let’s share this lovely food together, my friends.” From then on, Bob was never mean again.
50. In paragraph (段) 4, Bob held up his paw to ________.
A.just say hello to a friend
B.show that he wanted to ask a question
C.tell the shopkeeper to stop talking
D.show the shopkeeper he wanted a bottle of honey
51. Why did Bob’s face go red at last?
A.He was angry.
B.He knew he was wrong.
C.He was afraid.
D.He shared his food.
52. What important lesson did Bob learn?
A.All neighbors are friends.
B.It’s good to share.
C.Food is not a good birthday present.
D.It’s good to have parties.
50. 答案:C
解析:
前文提到商店老板在介绍商品价格,先说了一大束香蕉的价格,又说了一瓶蜂蜜的价格,然后Bob举起爪子说“I want the cheapest food”(我想要最便宜的食物),由此可以推断出他举起爪子是想让商店老板停止说话,表明自己想要的是最便宜的食物,所以选择C选项。A选项“just say hello to a friend”(只是向朋友打招呼)不符合语境;B选项“show that he wanted to ask a question”(表明他想问个问题)文中并没有体现出要问问题的意思;D选项“show the shopkeeper he wanted a bottle of honey”(向商店老板表明他想要一瓶蜂蜜)与他说想要最便宜食物的意思不符,故排除这三个选项。
51. 答案:B
解析:
朋友们带来食物并解释是因为知道Bob不喜欢分享,怕食物不够才带食物来的,还说愿意和他分享所有东西是想和他做朋友,这时Bob意识到自己之前的吝啬、不喜欢分享是不对的,所以脸变红了,是因为他知道自己错了,选择B选项。A选项“He was angry.”(他生气了)不符合他脸红的原因,他更多的是感到惭愧;C选项“He was afraid.”(他害怕了)文中没有体现出他害怕的相关内容;D选项“He shared his food.”(他分享了他的食物)这是后面他认识到错误后的做法,不是脸红的原因,故排除这三个选项。
52. 答案:B
解析:
故事一开始Bob很吝啬,从不分享,经过这次生日聚会的事情,朋友们的做法以及解释让他认识到自己的错误,最后他说“Let’s share this lovely food together, my friends.”并且从那以后再也不吝啬了,这说明他学到了分享是好的这个重要的道理,所以选择B选项。A选项“All neighbors are friends.”(所有邻居都是朋友)不是故事重点要传达的道理;C选项“Food is not a good birthday present.”(食物不是好的生日礼物)这不是主要的寓意所在;D选项“It’s good to have parties.”(举办聚会是好的)也不符合故事想表达的核心内容,故排除这三个选项。

The good pot was proud of himself. But the cracked pot was very sad. He spoke to the man, “I am sorry. I always lost water on the way back to your house.” The man said to the pot, “Don’t be sad. Can you see that there are many flowers on your side of the path, but none on the other side? That’s because I know you have a crack, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path in spring. Every day while we are on the way back, you water them. I can use these beautiful flowers to make my house beautiful. Without you, I could not have enjoyed such beauty.”
In our weakness we find our strength.

Long ago in a small village, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors.
A little dog learned about this place and decided to visit it one day. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and went into the house. He looked around with his ears up high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.

I will come back and visit often.”

There was once a farmer who lived beside a baker. Each week, the farmer would sell a pound of butter to the baker and the baker would sell the farmer a pound of bread. This went on for some time.

Bob Bear was the richest animal in the forest but he was very mean (吝啬的). He never shared. When his poorer neighbors came to his house and asked for food, he shouted, “Go away! It’s MY food!”
One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party. Bob was not invited but he saw Sally’s friends give her a lot of nice presents (礼物). “I’d like some presents,” thought Bob, so he decided to have a party. He went to a shop. “I need some party food,” he told the shopkeeper. “How much is a large brunch of bananas?”
“It’s twenty-five dollars fifty,” she said. Bob was surprised. “That’s too expensive. How much is a bottle of honey?”
“A bottle of honey is twenty-eight dollars thirty,” said the shopkeeper. “A bottle of honey is more expensive...” Bob held up (举起) his paw (爪子). “I want the cheapest food,” he said. The shopkeeper gave him two black bananas and a small packet of cookie. “Good! These are cheap,” Bob smiled. “They only cost eleven dollars thirty.”

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
A man had two water pots. One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other was all right.
Every day, the man took the pot to the river to get some water back home. When he arrived home, the good pot was full of water while the cracked one was only half full.
The good pot was proud of himself. But the cracked pot was very sad. He spoke to the man, “I am sorry. I always lost water on the way back to your house.” The man said to the pot, “Don’t be sad. Can you see that there are many flowers on your side of the path, but none on the other side? That’s because I know you have a crack, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path in spring. Every day while we are on the way back, you water them. I can use these beautiful flowers to make my house beautiful. Without you, I could not have enjoyed such beauty.”
In our weakness we find our strength.
