Four young children survived for 40 days in the rainforest after their plane had an accident. The children were flying to San José del Guaviare with their mom. Unluckily, their small plane fell in the rainforest. Sadly, all three adults on the plane died, including the children’s mother. This left the four children alone in the rainforest. The oldest child was a 13-year-old girl. Next came a 9-year-old kid, a 4-year-old kid, and an 11-month-old baby. At first, the children depended on the flour (面粉) from the plane. After running out of the flour, they looked for some plants and fruit to eat. Although they were so young, they also learned to build a shelter (庇护处) to get protection from dangerous animals and rainstorms. As soon as the plane went down, people started searching to see if anyone survived. After two weeks, the plane was found at last. Some signs showed that the children might still be alive. Then, search teams flew in small planes and dropped boxes of food, hoping the children would find them. More than 150 soldiers (士兵) were sent out with dogs to search on the ground. They left whistles (哨子) around, hoping the children would find them and use them to make a loud noise. Around 70 volunteers also joined to help search for them. After 40 days, the soldiers finally found the children, about 5 kilometers away from where the plane was. The children were very weak, but they were alive. The soldiers couldn't be happier. They took the children to the hospital quickly. The children could survive in the rainforest because the older children had learned outdoor survival skills. The children’s story surprised many people. The kids’ amazing survival in the rainforest shows how strong people can be and how they never give up. 4. How many people were there on the plane when it took off? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 5. Which question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A. How the children kept living. B.

However, our environment is full of all kinds of noise. “The rising noise pollution in cities is bad for the environment,” the United Nations (UN) said in a report. It asks governments to take action as soon as possible. What’s noise pollution? According to the UN, unwanted noise above 65 decibels (分贝) is noise pollution. Noise becomes harmful when it’s over 75 dB and it is painful when it’s above 120 dB. People who live near airports or highways get a lot of noise pollution. When neighbors rebuild their homes or stomp (跺脚) around above you, that’s also noise pollution. Why is noise pollution bad? “High levels of noise do harm to human health,” the UN report says. Too much noise causes health problems like stress and tiredness from poor sleep. More serious problems include heart disease and hearing loss. In Europe, 12,000 people die each year from influences of noise pollution. How can we prevent the problem? If cities want to fight noise pollution, one great way is to build barriers (屏障) along the railways and highways. Some European countries have also built roads of rubber. Rubber makes cars quieter. How can you and I help? We can stop stomping around our houses! In a word, noise pollution is harmful to us. We ought to try our best to avoid producing noise. 8. What does the UN want countries around the world to do according to Paragraph 1? A. To keep quiet about pollution. B. To deal with noise pollution. C. To stop cities from growing. D. To protect wild animals. 9. When does noise pollution take place according to the UN? A. When people talk at an airport. B. When neighbors walk around you. C. When students read books in the classroom. D. When sounds are unwanted and louder than 65 decibels. 10. Which of the following is NOT caused by noise pollution? A. People might feel tired. B. People might have heart disease. C. People might sleep more than usual. D. People might have hearing problems. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Some facts about noise pollution. B. How to stop noise pollution. C. Some environmental problems. D. How to protect the environment. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了噪音污染及其危害，并提供了一些解决噪音污染的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It asks governments to take action as soon as possible.”可知，联合国希望各国政府迅速采取行动来解决噪音污染问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“According to the UN, unwanted noise above 65 decibels (分贝) is noise pollution.”可知，当声音不受欢迎且声音大于65分贝时，就会发生噪音污染。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Too much noise causes health problems like stress and tiredness from poor sleep.’’可知噪音污染可能导致压力和因睡眠不足而感到疲惫，而不是睡眠时间增加。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据整篇文章内容，尤其是第一段“‘The rising noise pollution in cities is bad for the environment,’the United Nations (UN) said in a report.”可知，本文主要讨论了噪音污染的现状及其影响。故选A。 D How different can cultures be? People from different cultures can eat different kinds of food and live in different kinds of houses. They probably speak different languages and have different beliefs and customs. But guess what! They can also be similar in ways you might not expect. The similarities between cultures connect people and help them communicate. We sometimes call these ways of communication universal (全世界的) languages. Strictly speaking, they’re not languages but ways of sharing thoughts and ideas. And some of them allow people of different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions (情绪) and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that across cultures, people can notice three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness, and fear. Music may even be able to bridge the differences not only between people of different cultures but also between people and other creatures (生物). Music has been known to be a good influence on all kinds of animals. So what other kinds of languages that everyone can understand might there be? Some people believe dance is also a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? Of course, you could! Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of pi (圆周率) is around 3.14159, no matter where you’re on Earth! 12. What does the underlined word “They” in Para.1 refer to? A. People. B. Beliefs. C. Cultures. D. Customs. 13. What can we learn from Para. 2? A. Who created universal languages. B. Why people need universal languages. C. When universal languages were discovered. D. What people can do through universal languages. 14. How does the writer show that math is a universal language? A. By telling a story. B. By making a joke. C. By giving an example. D. By answering a question. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The secret of different cultures B. The truth of different emotions C. The magic of universal languages D. The discovery of endangered creatures 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了几种被认为是“通用语言”的交流方式，包括音乐、舞蹈和数学。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“How different can cultures be? People from different cultures...But guess what! They can also be similar in ways you might not expect.”和“The similarities between cultures connect people and help them communicate.”可知，不同文化之间也有相似的地方，此处“They”指的是文化。故选C。 【13题详解】 段落大意题。根据“And some of them allow people of different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings.”可知，通用语言可以让人们交流并分享情感和想法，这是人们通过通用语言可以做到的事情。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The value of pi (圆周率) is around 3.14159, no matter where you’re on Earth!”可知，作者通过举数学中圆周率的例子来表明数学是通用语言。故选C。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章主要内容可知，本文主要讲述音乐、舞蹈和数学作为通用语言如何将有不同文化背景的人们联系在一起，帮助他们交流，因此最佳标题为“The magic of universal languages”。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Hello, I am Katherine Commale.

In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable. Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn, remember and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate. When using a computer, people can go online or play computer games easily. Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What’s more, some people’s handwriting may be hard to read. Typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough. 41. When did people begin to write? ________________________________ 42. How is the brain when we write by hand? ________________________________ 43. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________________________________ 44. How many advantages of typing are mentioned in Paragraph 3? ________________________________ 45. If you need to write a report, will you type or handwrite it? Why? (Give 2 reasons. ) ________________________________ 【答案】41. About 5, 500 years ago. 42. It’s active. 43. Some different opinions about typing. 44. Three. 45. I will type it. Because it is very fast and it is easy to correct my mistakes. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了手写和打字特点。 【41题详解】 根据“The earliest form of writing appeared about 5, 500 years ago”可知最早的书写形式出现在大约5500年前。故填About 5, 500 years ago. 【42题详解】 根据“Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn”可知当我们写字时，我们的大脑是活跃的。故填It’s active. 【43题详解】 根据“Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing...”可知本文主要讲述了人们对于打字有不同的观点。故填Some different opinions about typing. 【44题详解】 根据“people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change”可知人们在打字时可以更快地记下自己的想法和想法，打字也可以让人们更容易改变；根据“Typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough.”可知打字可以让一切变得清晰，没有人会担心自己的单词足够清晰。故一共三个优势。故填Three. 【45题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填I will type it.

B Last year, something amazing happened in Colombia. Four young children survived for 40 days in the rainforest after their plane had an accident. The children were flying to San José del Guaviare with their mom. Unluckily, their small plane fell in the rainforest. Sadly, all three adults on the plane died, including the children’s mother. This left the four children alone in the rainforest. The oldest child was a 13-year-old girl. Next came a 9-year-old kid, a 4-year-old kid, and an 11-month-old baby. At first, the children depended on the flour (面粉) from the plane. After running out of the flour, they looked for some plants and fruit to eat. Although they were so young, they also learned to build a shelter (庇护处) to get protection from dangerous animals and rainstorms. As soon as the plane went down, people started searching to see if anyone survived. After two weeks, the plane was found at last. Some signs showed that the children might still be alive. Then, search teams flew in small planes and dropped boxes of food, hoping the children would find them. More than 150 soldiers (士兵) were sent out with dogs to search on the ground. They left whistles (哨子) around, hoping the children would find them and use them to make a loud noise. Around 70 volunteers also joined to help search for them. After 40 days, the soldiers finally found the children, about 5 kilometers away from where the plane was. The children were very weak, but they were alive. The soldiers couldn't be happier. They took the children to the hospital quickly. The children could survive in the rainforest because the older children had learned outdoor survival skills. The children’s story surprised many people The kids’ amazing survival in the rainforest shows how strong people can be and how they never give up. 4. How many people were there on the plane when it took off? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 5. Which question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A. How the children kept living. B. What dangers the children met. C. Why the children left the plane. D. What the children found on the plane. 6. Put the following events in the right order. a. The mother died. b. The plane was found. c. The kids were found by the soldiers. d. The soldiers brought the kids to the hospital fast. e. Search teams threw down food boxes for the children. A. e-c-d-a-b B. c-a-b-d-e C. a-b-e-c-d D. a-c-d-b-e 7. What were the children like according to the passage? A. Clever, brave, and lucky. B. Honest, patient, but stupid. C. Independent, talented and thankful. D. Outgoing, hard-working but careless. C Everyone wants to live in a quiet environment. However, our environment is full of all kinds of noise. “The rising noise pollution in cities is bad for the environment,” the United Nations (UN) said in a report. It asks governments to take action as soon as possible. What’s noise pollution? According to the UN, unwanted noise above 65 decibels (分贝) is noise pollution. Noise becomes harmful when it’s over 75 dB and it is painful when it’s above 120 dB. People who live near airports or highways get a lot of noise pollution. When neighbors rebuild their homes or stomp (跺脚) around above you, that’s also noise pollution. Why is noise pollution bad? “High levels of noise do harm to human health,” the UN report says. Too much noise causes health problems like stress and tiredness from poor sleep. More serious problems include heart disease and hearing loss. In Europe, 12,000 people die each year from influences of noise pollution. How can we prevent the problem? If cities want to fight noise pollution, one great way is to build barriers (屏障) along the railways and highways. Some European countries have also built roads of rubber. Rubber makes cars quieter. How can you and I help? We can stop stomping around our houses! In a word, noise pollution is harmful to us. We ought to try our best to avoid producing noise. 8. What does the UN want countries around the world to do according to Paragraph 1? A. To keep quiet about pollution. B. To deal with noise pollution. C. To stop cities from growing. D. To protect wild animals. 9. When does noise pollution take place according to the UN? A. When people talk at an airport. B. When neighbors walk around you. C. When students read books in the classroom. D. When sounds are unwanted and louder than 65 decibels. 10. Which of the following is NOT caused by noise pollution? A. People might feel tired. B. People might have heart disease. C. People might sleep more than usual. D. People might have hearing problems. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Some facts about noise pollution. B. How to stop noise pollution. C. Some environmental problems. D. How to protect the environment. D How different can cultures be? People from different cultures can eat different kinds of food and live in different kinds of houses. They probably speak different languages and have different beliefs and customs. But guess what! They can also be similar in ways you might not expect. The similarities between cultures connect people and help them communicate. We sometimes call these ways of communication universal (全世界的) languages. Strictly speaking, they’re not languages but ways of sharing thoughts and ideas. And some of them allow people of different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions (情绪) and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that across cultures, people can notice three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness, and fear. Music may even be able to bridge the differences not only between people of different cultures but also between people and other creatures (生物). Music has been known to be a good influence on all kinds of animals. So what other kinds of languages that everyone can understand might there be? Some people believe dance is also a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? Of course, you could! Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of pi (圆周率) is around 3.14159, no matter where you’re on Earth! 12. What does the underlined word “They” in Para.1 refer to? A. People. B. Beliefs. C. Cultures. D. Customs. 13. What can we learn from Para. 2? A. Who created universal languages. B. Why people need universal languages. C. When universal languages were discovered. D. What people can do through universal languages. 14. How does the writer show that math is a universal language? A. By telling a story. B. By making a joke. C. By giving an example. D. By answering a question. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The secret of different cultures B. The truth of different emotions C. The magic of universal languages D The discovery of endangered creatures 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Hello, I am Katherine Commale.

In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable. Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn, remember and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate. When using a computer, people can go online or play computer games easily. Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What’s more, some people’s handwriting may be hard to read. Typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough. 41. When did people begin to write? ________________________________ 42. How is the brain when we write by hand? ________________________________ 43. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________________________________ 44. How many advantages of typing are mentioned in Paragraph 3? ________________________________ 45. If you need to write a report, will you type or handwrite it? Why? (Give 2 reasons. ) ________________________________ 第二节　写作 （满分20分） 46. 在我们的生活中，志愿者活动越来越普遍，它不仅能帮助他人，也能让我们自身得到成长和锻炼。请你根据以下提示，以My volunteer experience为题，写一篇短文介绍一次你的志愿者经历。 主要内容: 1. 志愿者活动的时间、地点、主题； 2. 你在活动中具体做了什么； 3. 这次经历对你产生了怎样的影响（至少两点）。 写作要求: 1. 包括所有内容要点，并适当拓展，以使语言通顺，行文连贯； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名和学校的名称； 3. 80~120词之间。 My volunteer experience ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
