While; when 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我回到家时，妈妈在做饭，爸爸在看电视。 考查连词。while与when都表示“当……时”。while后用延续性动作，若主从句都用进行时，则表示动词同时进行；when后可用延续性动作或非延续性动作。根据“I got home”可知表示非延续性动作，则用when不用while；根据“my mother was cooking ... my father was watching TV.”可知，妈妈在做饭的时候，爸爸在看电视，表示两个动词同时进行，用while。故选A。 29. —Amy never gets up early, ________ she? —________.

You could be right! Scientists in the USA have found that school-aged children learn new things and skills faster than grown-ups. This has something to do with a chemical (化学物质) called GABA in our brains (大脑). It makes brain noise less so that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new information stay longer in our heads. The scientists studied the brains of children (8—11 years old) and adults (18—35 years old) before, during and after doing a learning task. The finding shows that when children learn new things, the amount (数量) of GABA increases (增加) quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults. The scientists said the finding is useful. It tells teachers and parents to let children learn anything in their childhood, from riding a bike to playing an instrument (乐器). It could also help adults learn faster by increasing the amount of GABA in their brains. 49. Why do children learn faster than adults? A. Because children’s brains have more GABA than adults’. B. Because teachers and parents help children learn faster. C. Because GABA in children’s brains increases while learning. D. Because there’s no change in adults’brains when they learn. 50. Which of the following about GABA is right? A. It helps children learn things in their childhood. B. It makes information stay shorter in adults’ brains. C. It makes brain noise to make learning more easily. D. It is useless to help adults learn new things and skills. 51. What is the article mainly about? A. Why children learn faster than adults. B. What scientists are studying. C. How scientists help children learn. D. What the chemical GABA is. 52. What can we learn from the passage? A Practice makes perfect. B. Start learning as early as you can. C. You are never too old to learn. D. Great hopes make a great man. 【答案】49. C 50. A 51. A 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述美国的科学家发现，学龄儿童学习知识和技能等新事物的速度比成年人快，这是因为我们大脑中的GABA。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段提到“The finding shows that when children learn new things, the amount  (数量)  of GABA increases (增加) quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults.”可知，因为儿童大脑中的GABA在学习时会增加，故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段提到“The scientists said the finding is useful. It tells teachers and parents to let children learn anything in their childhood, from riding a bike to playing an instrument (乐器). ”可知，它能帮助在孩童时期学习东西，故选A。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段提到“Do you find that you learn things faster than your parents?”可知，本文讲述了儿童学习知识和技能等新事物的速度比成年人快的原因，故选A。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段提到“It tells teachers and parents to let children learn anything in their childhood, from riding a bike to playing an instrument (乐器). ”可知，建议孩子们尽早学习一些东西，故选B。 C Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too. According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth.And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Objects (物体), like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds. They are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become a danger to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the spaceship. To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For, example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces , increasing the amount of space junk. To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere (大气层) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed. “The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher. “The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says. 53. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Telescopes. B. Satellites. C. Pieces of space junk. D. BBC News reports. 54. Why is space junk considered a problem? A. It burns up after it reenters the atmosphere. B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth. C. It could force (迫使) new space tools to travel at slower speeds D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death. 55. Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that ________. A. the tools can be reused later B. the tools don’t become space junk C. the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean D. the effects of space flight can be studied 56. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk? A. Catch it with nets. B. Use robots to collect it. C. Burn it ‘in the earth’s atmosphere. D. Send it further away from the earth. 【答案】53. C 54. D 55. B 56. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述太空有许多垃圾，这给航天器和宇航员带来了严重的安全隐患，为此各国正在想办法采取措施清理太空垃圾。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth.And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜).”可知，目前有超过22000块太空垃圾碎片漂浮在地球周围，这些只是我们可以通过望远镜从地球表面看到的；“these”指的是“太空垃圾碎片”。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become a danger to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the spaceship.”可知，太空垃圾可能与其他太空工具（如卫星、宇宙飞船等）相撞，造成损坏或死亡。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere (大气层) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.”可知，每种太空工具工作25年后，安全地落入地球大气层，并在大气层的上层燃烧殆尽，这样就不会变成太空垃圾。故选B。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.”可知，德国人计划用机器人来收集太空垃圾。故选B。 D ①Chinese characters (文字) are one of the oldest characters in the world, with a history of more than 6 thousand years. More than 1,600,000,000 people use them in the world, the number is larger than the other characters. ②“I fall in love with the shape of Chinese characters, it’s beautiful and it is a kind of an art—the art of calligraphy (书法), although it’s too difficult for me to speak it well, haha,” says Anna, from Thailand. ③“Chinese characters have the largest amount (量) of information. In the UN documents (文献), if we turn the same book into different languages, the Chinese version (版本) must be the thinnest of all,” says Robert from the UN. ④Last year, a piece of news reported ▲ . It also showed more than 24 characters aren’t right in the 400-word letter for a job. To wake up people’s love for writing of Chinese characters, the Ministry (部) of Education in China have asked people to spend more time writing Chinese characters six times.

However, the story of 50-year-old Xie Hongying may change the idea. Born in Jianyang, Xie Hongying moved to Chengdu twelve years ago and then became a fruit seller. In 2018, she started to sell fruit near the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. One day in 2019, Xie met a foreign customer (顾客). She couldn’t speak English and the man couldn’t speak Chinese, so they had to use body language to communicate (交流). Later, Xie found there were more and more foreign tourists. She thought, “If I can talk with them in English, my fruit will sell out quickly.” Then she started her English learning. Xie began by learning some simple words and sentences for selling fruit. She often looked up new words in the dictionary (字典) and remembered them. Soon, she could have a short talk with foreigners. “Talking with foreigners is one of my ways to practice English. I’m not afraid of making mistakes. Foreign tourists can often help me correct them” Xie said. Now Xie is famous for speaking English well. To show her friendliness, Xie often gives her customers some extra (额外的) fruit for free. Many foreign tourists like to buy her fruit. Her story tells us one is never too old to learn. 回答下面3个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 84. How old was Xie Hongying when she moved to Chengdu? ________________________________ 85. How did Xie communicate with her first foreign customer in 2019? ________________________________ 86. What is Xie Hongying like? ________________________________ 【答案】84. 38 years old. 85. By using body language. 86. Friendly. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲了50岁的谢红英12年前搬到成都卖水果，2019年因与外国顾客交流不便，决心学习英语，通过努力能与外国人交流，她还友好地免费送顾客额外水果，她的故事诠释了活到老学到老。 【84题详解】 文章开头提到谢红英现在50岁，她12年前搬到成都，所以当时她的年龄是岁。故填38 years old. 【85题详解】 根据第三段“One day in 2019, Xie met a foreign customer (顾客). She couldn’t speak English and the man couldn’t speak Chinese, so they had to use body language to communicate (交流).”可知，她和第一个外国顾客是通过肢体语言交流的。故填By using body language. 【86题详解】 根据第五段“To show her friendliness, Xie often gives her customers some extra (额外的) fruit for free. ”可知，表明她很友好。故填Friendly. 八、书面表达。（满分15分） 87. 中国小动物保护协会( CSAPA)招募志愿者。假如你是阳光中学的一名学生张涛，看到招募公告，你想要参加这个活动。请你根据公告内容和要求写一封申请信，介绍一下自己的情况，并说明申请理由。 个人信息 张涛，阳光中学八年级3班的学生。 外貌、性格 方脸，健康又强壮；有耐心、乐于助人。 喜好 1. 痴迷于DIY，上周给妈妈制作生日卡片； 2. 是观鸟协会的成员，经常帮助濒危鸟类； 3. 最喜欢的季节是冬季；堆雪人，打雪仗…… 申请理由 1. 希望人们能采取行动保护动物，因为做点事情保护动物很重要…… 注意： 1）内容涵盖所有要点，可适当发挥，语句通顺、意思连贯； 2）文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等相关信息； 3）词数80个左右，短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chairperson, I would like to join CSAPA.

B Do you find that you learn things faster than your parents? You could be right! Scientists in the USA have found that school-aged children learn new things and skills faster than grown-ups. This has something to do with a chemical (化学物质) called GABA in our brains (大脑). It makes brain noise less so that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new information stay longer in our heads. The scientists studied the brains of children (8—11 years old) and adults (18—35 years old) before, during and after doing a learning task. The finding shows that when children learn new things, the amount (数量) of GABA increases (增加) quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults. The scientists said the finding is useful. It tells teachers and parents to let children learn anything in their childhood, from riding a bike to playing an instrument (乐器). It could also help adults learn faster by increasing the amount of GABA in their brains. 49. Why do children learn faster than adults? A. Because children’s brains have more GABA than adults’. B. Because teachers and parents help children learn faster. C. Because GABA in children’s brains increases while learning. D. Because there’s no change in adults’brains when they learn. 50. Which of the following about GABA is right? A. It helps children learn things in their childhood. B. It makes information stay shorter in adults’ brains. C. It makes brain noise to make learning more easily. D. It is useless to help adults learn new things and skills. 51. What is the article mainly about? A. Why children learn faster than adults. B. What scientists are studying. C. How scientists help children learn. D. What the chemical GABA is. 52. What can we learn from the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Start learning as early as you can. C. You are never too old to learn. D. Great hopes make a great man. C Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too. According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth.And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Objects (物体), like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds. They are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become a danger to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the spaceship. To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For, example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces , increasing the amount of space junk. To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere (大气层) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk.

In 2018, she started to sell fruit near the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. One day in 2019, Xie met a foreign customer (顾客). She couldn’t speak English and the man couldn’t speak Chinese, so they had to use body language to communicate (交流). Later, Xie found there were more and more foreign tourists.

I’m not afraid of making mistakes. Foreign tourists can often help me correct them” Xie said. Now Xie is famous for speaking English well. To show her friendliness, Xie often gives her customers some extra (额外的) fruit for free. Many foreign tourists like to buy her fruit.
