A. a visitor guide B. a shopping list C. a street map D. a travel diary B Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean. Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport. Jack loved to draw, paint, or build sandcastles (沙堡). Frank didn’t understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball games. He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack’s idea formed. He would show Frank what doing things together looked like! After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs, towers and walls, he took pictures of it. Then he painted colorful posters featuring (突出) his sandcastle and the question, “Can you top this?” He hung his posters everywhere in town, telling people his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry—all ages welcome. When Frank saw posters, he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come. Still, shortly after sunrise on Saturday, Jack was on the beach digging in the sand. By mid-morning, four kids were sculpting (雕塑) the sand with him. By noon, the number had increased a lot. After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother’s plan turned out. He couldn’t believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach. “I guess you’ve proved me wrong,” Frank said. “You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!” Handing Frank a shovel (铲子) with a smile, Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand. 21. What does the underlined word “That” refer to in Paragraph 2? A. Frank’s sports hobby. B. Jack’s art hobby. C. Jack’s sandcastle work. D. Frank’s doubt of Jack. 22. What helped people know about Jack’s plan? A. Beautiful towers. B. Colorful posters. C. A town building. D. A polite question. 23. What can we know about Jack’s idea according to the text? A It came from picture. B. It needed 30 people’s support. C. It proved Frank right. D. It did work well. 24. Which of the following best describes Jack? A. Honest. B. Creative. C. Outgoing. D. Caring. 25. What might happen in the next year according to the text? A. Frank will stop playing ball games. B. The town will build a sandcastle park. C. They will hold another sandcastle day. D. Jack will lose interest in building sandcastles. C ①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. ②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. ③But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. ④Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. ⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. ⑥Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 26. How did the writer’s pie turn out? A. It looked great and tasted delicious. B. It looked bad but tasted good. C. It looked terrible and wasn’t very delicious. D. It looked normal and tasted okay. 27. Why is the process important according to the text? A. Because it can make us famous. B. Because it can bring new experiences. C. Because it always leads to a perfect result. D. Because it can make us more competitive. 28. What does the sentence “Ride your own ride.” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Do things in your own way. B. Only focus on your own vehicle. C. Never care about others’ opinions. D. Compete with others in a different way. 29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 30. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Never give up B. Enjoy the process C. What success means to us D. How to achieve good results 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，选出正确的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一次，每词限用一次。 When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. ___31___ Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as useful as reading a book? Reading needs us to pay attention to the words in the book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. ___32___ At the same time, it gives your eyes a break. But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from paper books? ___33___ Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same article. It turned out that they remembered the same amount (数量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it. Another study further supported the result above. In the study, researchers studied people’s brains when they listened to and read books. ___34___ However, some people still believe that we learn better from reading paper books. ___35___ If we’re trying to learn while doing two things, we’re not going to learn as well. A. Researchers did a scientific test to find the answer. B. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. C. Young people are more likely to choose audiobooks than the old. D. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like. E. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we need to deal with several tasks. F. The result showed that listening to audiobooks makes almost the same parts of the brain active as reading does. 四、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 of and they insect Europe use bad seem real possible “There is an interesting thing!

Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is not convenient. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers. There is one folk story about its invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠人) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular among the common people. Skills for producing the tool were widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets (诗人) from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers. In the early days, copper (铜) was often used in the production process. It was more suitable than silver and iron because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, giving off a nice smell when burned. Ancient hand warmers had different designs. Round, square and octagonal shapes were typical, and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for long life. 1.

Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport. Jack loved to draw, paint, or build sandcastles (沙堡). Frank didn’t understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball games. He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack’s idea formed. He would show Frank what doing things together looked like! After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs, towers and walls, he took pictures of it. Then he painted colorful posters featuring (突出) his sandcastle and the question, “Can you top this?” He hung his posters everywhere in town, telling people his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry—all ages welcome. When Frank saw posters, he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come. Still, shortly after sunrise on Saturday, Jack was on the beach digging in the sand. By mid-morning, four kids were sculpting (雕塑) the sand with him. By noon, the number had increased a lot. After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother’s plan turned out. He couldn’t believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach. “I guess you’ve proved me wrong,” Frank said. “You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!” Handing Frank a shovel (铲子) with a smile, Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand. 21. What does the underlined word “That” refer to in Paragraph 2? A. Frank’s sports hobby. B. Jack’s art hobby. C. Jack’s sandcastle work. D. Frank’s doubt of Jack. 22.

It came from picture. B. It needed 30 people’s support. C. It proved Frank right. D. It did work well. 24. Which of the following best describes Jack? A. Honest. B. Creative. C. Outgoing. D. Caring. 25. What might happen in the next year according to the text? A. Frank will stop playing ball games. B. The town will build a sandcastle park. C. They will hold another sandcastle day. D. Jack will lose interest in building sandcastles. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. D 24. B 25.

He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack’s idea formed.”可知，当杰克的想法形成时，弗兰克很不理解为什么杰克宁愿做艺术类的东西也不愿意去玩球类运动，说明“That”指代的是弗兰克对杰克这一想法的怀疑。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then he painted colorful posters featuring (突出) his sandcastle and the question, ‘Can you top this?’ He hung his posters everywhere in town, telling people his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry—all ages welcome.”可知，杰克画了一些漂亮的海报并把海报在小镇上挂得到处都是，这样人们就能知道杰克的计划。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach.”可知，最后有至少30人前来建造沙雕城堡，并且大家玩得很开心，可见杰克的计划很成功。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Then he painted colorful posters featuring (突出) his sandcastle and the question, ‘Can you top this?’ He hung his posters everywhere in town, telling people his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry—all ages welcome.”可知，杰克通过绘制漂亮的海报来通知小镇上的人们来参加建造沙雕城堡的活动，并把活动组织得非常成功，可见他很有创意。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!”可知，弗兰克建议这个活动应该每年办一次，因此推测他们还会再举办一次沙雕城堡日活动。故选C。 C ①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. ②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. ③But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. ④Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. ⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. ⑥Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 26. How did the writer’s pie turn out? A. It looked great and tasted delicious. B. It looked bad but tasted good. C. It looked terrible and wasn’t very delicious. D. It looked normal and tasted okay. 27. Why is the process important according to the text? A. Because it can make us famous. B. Because it can bring new experiences. C. Because it always leads to a perfect result. D. Because it can make us more competitive. 28. What does the sentence “Ride your own ride.” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Do things in your own way. B. Only focus on your own vehicle. C. Never care about others’ opinions. D. Compete with others in a different way. 29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 30. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Never give up B. Enjoy the process C. What success means to us D. How to achieve good results 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是作者通过讲述自己做苹果派的经历告诉我们，做任何事情不要看重结果，要享受这个过程，并就如何享受过程提出了几点建议。 26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious”可知，苹果派卖相不好，味道也不佳。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others.”可知，过程之所以重要是因为它给我们带来新的体验。故选B。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power.”可知，第四段主要主张不要总是拿自己和别人比较，说明“Ride your own ride.”在此表示“走自己的路，用自己的方式做事”。故选A。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。本文第一段讲述了作者自己做苹果派的经历和感受，第二段则通过这个经历作者感悟出“过程很重要”这个道理，在第三段引出如何享受过程这一话题，第四至六段则分别介绍了如何享受过程的方法，因此本文的结构为总——分，选项C的结构图符合文章结构。故选C。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。本文的作者通过自己做苹果派的经历告诉大家，过程很重要，所以我们要学会享受过程。选项B“享受过程”作为标题最为合适。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，选出正确的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一次，每词限用一次。 When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. ___31___ Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books?

Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is not convenient. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers. There is one folk story about its invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠人) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular among the common people. Skills for producing the tool were widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets (诗人) from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers. In the early days, copper (铜) was often used in the production process. It was more suitable than silver and iron because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, giving off a nice smell when burned. Ancient hand warmers had different designs. Round, square and octagonal shapes were typical, and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for long life. 1.

I think they are not good for environment, because they need to use coals as fuel./I think they are beautiful, because they are in different shapes. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了古代中国人的暖手工具——暖手炉。 【46题详解】 根据“However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers.”可知，本文主要介绍了古代中国人在冬天如何暖手。故填warmed their hands in winter/kept their hands warm in winter。 【47题详解】 根据“In the early days, copper (铜) was often used in the production process. It was more suitable than silver and iron because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀).”可知，铜经常用于生产过程，因为它可以更好地传导热量，同时降低破裂或腐蚀的风险。故填reduced the risk of breakage or corrosion。 【48题详解】 根据“●The outside: copper ●The inside: coals, some mixed with flowers ”可知，该部分介绍制作暖手炉的材料，materials“材料”。故填materials。 【49题详解】 根据“The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for long life.”可知，暖手炉的图案通常是具有美好寓意的动物或符号，比如鹿、花朵或者寓意长寿的汉字。故填animals or symbols with good meanings。 【50题详解】 本题为开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填I think they are not good for environment, because they need to use coals as fuel./I think they are beautiful, because they are in different shapes. 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 假定你是李平，请根据该邮件内容，用英语给Eric回复。 Hi Li Ping, You mentioned your dream job in your last letter.
