These questions are difficult to answer, aren' t they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue? We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1.200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air. Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day. Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black. Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no colors. 46. Planes can't fly as high as possible because . A. the sky is blue B. the wings are heavier C. the air becomes thinner D. the sky has no air 47. When you stand on the top of a high mountain， you will see . A. more air B. fewer clouds C. more colors D. redder skies 48. In Sunning， we might see many colors in the sky at about during the day in summer. A. 7：00 pm B. 11： 00 pm C. 1：00 am D. 3： 00 am 49. The sky changes colors because . A. the sunlight has colors B. the air scatters the sunlight C. it's colorful itself D. the world Is colorful 50. Which is the best title（标题）? A. Why does the sky look blue? B. Why can't planes fly very high? C. Why does the sky change colors? D. Why can the astronauts see the colors of the sky? 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【分析】我们都可以看到蓝天白云，事实上，天空是没有颜色的，那为什么天空看起来是蓝色的呢？这篇短文给我们介绍了这个道理，其实这是空气散射阳光的结果，光在空气中传播，没有空气，就没有颜色。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher.可知，飞机不能飞得很高，那是因为当飞机飞得更高时，空气会变稀薄。由此可知越高空气越稀薄，故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun可知，当你在一座高山上的时候，颜色会更蓝，在你和太阳之间的天空中，你会看到更少的云。由此可知，站在山顶上是你会看到更少的云，故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据短文第三段When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.可知，当太阳升起和下落的时候，你会在天空中看到红色、橙色和其他颜色，这是一天中最美丽的时刻。结合选项可知，7点太阳升起的时候是可以看到很多颜色，故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文最后一段Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight可知，我们看到颜色是因为空气散射阳光，由此可知应选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据短文第一段中 In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?事实上，天空没有颜色。那为什么天空看起来是蓝色的呢？可以推测，本文最好的题目是“为什么天空看起来是蓝色的？”，故A选项最符合文意。 第三节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） When a plane crashes (坠毁), the first thing people do is to ask, “What went wrong?” At this point, someone will probably mention the “black box”. ____51____ Because it is bright color, it is easier for people to find the box after a crash. What is a black box? A black box is a data (数据) reporter. ____52____ For example, it records a plane’s speed. Also, it records things pilots say to each other and over the radio. This helps people know just what happened before a crash. In what part of a plane is a black box put? Many people are surprised to learn that a black box is not in the front of a plane. ____53____ How do the recording devices (设备) inside a black box survive (幸免于) a crash? A black box is made of very strong materials (材料). ____54____ It gives protection from the crash itself. And it protects against very high temperatures and fire. Why is a black box so important? A black box records important information. Without it, many questions about an accident could never be answered. ____55____ As a result, plane makers can make changes so the problem will not happen again. A. Instead, it is in a plane’s tail. B. So, where is the “black box”? C. This protects the devices in two ways. D. Actually, a plane’s black box is usually orange. E. It records up to 300 different kinds of information about a flight.

On 69. to be 70. to change 71. childhood 72. is 73. dead 74. sadness 75. happily 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了《圣诞颂歌》的内容。 【66题详解】 句意：这是关于一个名叫Scrooge的老人，他很刻薄，对别人不好。此处泛指“一个老人”，old以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。 【67题详解】 句意：他只考虑自己，只关心是否能赚更多的钱。根据“he can make more money”可知他只关心是否能挣更多的钱，whether“是否”。故填whether。 【68题详解】 句意：在圣诞节前夕，Scrooge被他的前商业伙伴Jacob Marley的鬼魂拜访了。on the eve of“在……前夕”。故填On。 【69题详解】 句意：Marley曾经和Scrooge一样，所以他死后受到了惩罚。此处是结构used to be“过去是”。故填to be。 【70题详解】 句意：他警告Scrooge，如果他不想最终像他一样，就要改变自己的方式。warn sb. to do sth.“警告某人做某事”。故填to change。 【71题详解】 句意：首先，过去的圣诞鬼魂把他带回了童年，让Scrooge想起了他小时候更快乐的日子。根据“reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child”可知是把他带回童年，childhood“童年”。故填childhood。 【72题详解】 句意：每个人都很快乐，即使是穷人。根据“takes”可知句子用一般现在时，主语是Everyone，be动词用is。故填is。 【73题详解】 句意：他看到自己死了，但没人在乎。此处作be动词的表语用形容词dead“死的”。故填dead。 【74题详解】 句意：他因恐惧和悲伤而发狂，拼命承诺从现在起他会把圣诞节留在心里。根据“fear and...”可知and连接两个名词，sadness“悲伤”，不可数名词。故填sadness。 【75题详解】 句意：他和亲戚们愉快地庆祝圣诞节。此处修饰动词用副词happily“开心地”。故填happily。 第三节 信息归纳（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。每空一词。 Have you ever been in a spot where you’re chatting with someone and suddenly run out of things to say? It feels awkward, right? Well, you’re not alone. Here are some simple tips to help you keep a conversation alive and avoid those silent moments! First, if your conversation is dying, you can continue a conversation by going back to an earlier topic. You can say, “Earlier, you said _________. Tell me more about that.” This shows you’re listening and care about the chat. Second, add details when you talk. If someone asks about your holiday, don’t just say, “It was good.” Share a bit more, like, “It was good! I saw my family after a long time and we caught up.” This makes the chat more interesting and gives them more to ask about. Just remember, nobody likes to listen to someone who is only talking about themselves. Share a little, then let the other person share too. This keeps the chat fun for both of you. Third, ask open-ended questions that need more than a yes or no answer. Use questions starting with who, what, when, why, where, or how. Like, “What did you do this summer?” This is not easy to end a conversation. Lastly, show you’re interested and use good body language. Use friendly body language. Don’t cross your arms, make eye contact, and smile. Focus on the person you’re talking to. This makes them feel important and keeps the conversation flowing. So, next time you’re talking to someone and fear the chat might stop, try these tips. They can help you keep the conversation interesting and avoid awkward silence! ____76____ to Keep a Chat Going ____77____ to an earlier topic. This shows you’re listening and care about the chat. Give some details. This makes the listeners more ____78____ in the chat and gives them more to ask about. Ask open-ended questions ____79____ of closed-end ones. This is not easy to end a conversation. Show you’re interested and use good body language. This makes them feel important and keeps the conversation ____80____. 【答案】76. Tips##Ways##How 77. Return 78. interested 79. instead 80. flowing 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几种保持对话活力、避免尴尬沉默的技巧。 【76题详解】 根据“Here are some simple tips to help you keep a conversation alive and avoid those silent moments!”可知，本文主要介绍了一些简单的技巧，可以帮助你保持对话的活力，避免那些沉默的时刻，tips/ways“方法”，或者是如何帮助你保持对话的活力，避免那些沉默的时刻，how“如何”，符合语境。故填Tips/Ways/How。 【77题详解】 根据“if your conversation is dying, you can continue a conversation by going back to an earlier topic”可知，如果你的谈话快结束了，你可以通过回到之前的话题来继续谈话，return“回到”，祈使句以动词原形开头，首字母大写。故填Return。 【78题详解】 根据“This makes the chat more interesting and gives them more to ask about. Just remember, nobody likes to listen to someone who is only talking about themselves.”可知，多给一些细节会让聊天更有趣，让他们有更多的问题要问，即让倾听者对对话更感兴趣，be interested in “对……感兴趣”。故填interested。 【79题详解】 根据“ask open-ended questions that need more than a yes or no answer.”可知，提出开放式问题，这些问题需要的不仅仅是“是”或“否”的答案，所以问开放式问题，而不是封闭式问题，instead of “而不是……”。故填instead。 【80题详解】 根据“This makes them feel important and keeps the conversation flowing.”可知，这让他们感到自己很重要，并让谈话保持流畅，flowing“流畅的”，符合语境。故填flowing。 第四节 书面表达（满分20分） 81. 假如你是安娜(Anna)，在中国留学的你今年第一次跟同学体验了中国的传统节日——中秋节。你觉得这次经历非常有意义且打算将此事分享给你的父母。请根据以下提示，写一封邮件分享你的经历。 要求： 1. 须包含图文所有信息，可适当发挥，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数：100词左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 文中不得出现真实的姓名和校名。 Dear Mom and Dad, How are you?

Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment. Paul, 18, comes from Wales. Next year he wants to got to university to study Chinese, but now he’s living in Belize. Paul says, “I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted badly, the coral will die. I’m helping to do study on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late. I’m staying with a family here. I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize! When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.” 41. What will some young people in England do after finishing school? A. Go to work for money. B. Go to other countries and work as volunteers. C. Start work in universities. D. Go to university in other countries. 42. Where is Paul living now? A. England. B. China. C. Belize. D. America. 43. What is Paul doing with other people in the sea near Belize? A. Working to save the coral reefs. B. Studying Chinese in the university. C. Helping do some housework. D. Doing some study in Wales. 44. From the passage, we know that the coral reefs ________. A. are not as beautiful as before B. will probably be sold for money C. may die because of the pollution D. cannot live without fish in the sea 45. What does Paul want to do after he finishes his work as a volunteer? A. Stay there for another year. B. Go back home to start work. C. Learn about the people at home. D. Travel around Belize and Central America. C What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren' t they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue? We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1.200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air. Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day. Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black. Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no colors. 46. Planes can't fly as high as possible because . A the sky is blue B. the wings are heavier C. the air becomes thinner D. the sky has no air 47. When you stand on the top of a high mountain， you will see . A. more air B. fewer clouds C. more colors D. redder skies 48. In Sunning， we might see many colors in the sky at about during the day in summer. A. 7：00 pm B. 11： 00 pm C. 1：00 am D. 3： 00 am 49. The sky changes colors because . A. the sunlight has colors B. the air scatters the sunlight C. it's colorful itself D. the world Is colorful 50. Which is the best title（标题）? A. Why does the sky look blue? B. Why can't planes fly very high? C. Why does the sky change colors? D. Why can the astronauts see the colors of the sky? 第三节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） When a plane crashes (坠毁), the first thing people do is to ask, “What went wrong?” At this point, someone will probably mention the “black box”. ____51____ Because it is bright color, it is easier for people to find the box after a crash. What is a black box? A black box is a data (数据) reporter. ____52____ For example, it records a plane’s speed. Also, it records things pilots say to each other and over the radio. This helps people know just what happened before a crash. In what part of a plane is a black box put? Many people are surprised to learn that a black box is not in the front of a plane. ____53____ How do the recording devices (设备) inside a black box survive (幸免于) a crash? A black box is made of very strong materials (材料). ____54____ It gives protection from the crash itself. And it protects against very high temperatures and fire. Why is a black box so important? A black box records important information. Without it, many questions about an accident could never be answered. ____55____ As a result, plane makers can make changes so the problem will not happen again. A. Instead, it is in a plane’s tail. B. So, where is the “black box”? C. This protects the devices in two ways. D. Actually, a plane’s black box is usually orange. E. It records up to 300 different kinds of information about a flight.

It feels awkward, right? Well, you’re not alone. Here are some simple tips to help you keep a conversation alive and avoid those silent moments! First, if your conversation is dying, you can continue a conversation by going back to an earlier topic. You can say, “Earlier, you said _________. Tell me more about that.” This shows you’re listening and care about the chat. Second, add details when you talk. If someone asks about your holiday, don’t just say, “It was good.” Share a bit more, like, “It was good! I saw my family after a long time and we caught up.” This makes the chat more interesting and gives them more to ask about. Just remember, nobody likes to listen to someone who is only talking about themselves. Share a little, then let the other person share too. This keeps the chat fun for both of you. Third, ask open-ended questions that need more than a yes or no answer. Use questions starting with who, what, when, why, where, or how. Like, “What did you do this summer?” This is not easy to end a conversation. Lastly, show you’re interested and use good body language. Use friendly body language. Don’t cross your arms, make eye contact, and smile. Focus on the person you’re talking to. This makes them feel important and keeps the conversation flowing. So, next time you’re talking to someone and fear the chat might stop, try these tips. They can help you keep the conversation interesting and avoid awkward silence! ____76____ to Keep a Chat Going ____77____ to an earlier topic. This shows you’re listening and care about the chat.
