He preferred watching football matches on TV to talking to his family. Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t quiet as usual. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly found out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan. I had never been interested in football, but Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to find out why this sport was making my father act like a five-year-old kid on his first trip to Disneyland. Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV. “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad patiently explained, “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.” Dad explained almost everything to me. His simple answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At last we had something in common. Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball? 11. From the passage, we can infer (推断) the writer’s father was ________. A. a man of few words B. a parent who is busy at work C. an encouraging father D. a man with a sense of humor 12 The writer felt ________ when he found his father’s excitement. A. quiet B. happy C. curious D. silly 13. The writer’s growing interest in watching the match mainly came from ________. A. eating in a restaurant with the excited fans B. watching a top level performance of the players C. his father’s love of football and words about the match D. his and his father’s common love of German food 14. Which is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s father used to talk to him. B. The writer’s father first visited Disneyland at the age of five. C. The writer and his father finally had nothing in common. D. The writer got closer to his father because of football. 15. The best title for the passage should be “________”. A. A World Cup Dad B. The FIFA World Cup C. A Quiet Dad D. An Exciting Match 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者通过世界杯比赛，与父亲拉近距离的故事。父亲本是一个沉默的人，但因足球兴趣高涨，带动作者对足球的兴趣，最终通过共同的爱好建立了更紧密的亲子关系。   【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me.”可知，15 年来，父亲与我们讲话很少。由此推测父亲是不爱说话的人。故选A。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“…but Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious.”可知作者对此感到好奇，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dad explained almost everything to me. His simple answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested.”可知，作者对比赛兴趣的增长主要来自父亲对足球的热爱以及关于比赛的讲解。故选C。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other.”可知足球增进了作者和父亲的关系。故选D。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了原本寡言少语的父亲因为世界杯变得兴奋，和作者之间有了更多交流，足球拉近了他们父子的关系，是围绕世界杯这条线来写的。因此可以以“世界杯父亲” 做为标题。故选A。 B Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSystemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV，视听的) and automation industry. Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的巧妙) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment. 16. X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________. A. using lights B. using voices C. using radio waves D. connecting to the 5G network 17. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Voice-activated assistants. B. How smart homes are built. C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies. D. Technologies designed for children and the disabled. 18. How are smart homes good for the environment? A. They use recyclable household appliances. B. They are built with special materials. C. They have smart trash bins. D. They help us save energy. 19. Which of the advantages is NOT mentioned about smart homes? A. Comfortable. B. Convenient. C. Energy-saving. D. Relaxing. 20. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Smart homes in the future B. A perfect home C. Live a smart life D. The city of tomorrow 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如今日益发展的智能家居如何改变了人们的生活。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波),”可知，X10技术通过无线电波让设备相互通信。故选C。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words.”可知，第三段主要介绍语音激活助手及其便利性，因此主题是关于语音激活助手。故选A。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall.”可知，智能家居通过帮助节约用电来保护环境。故选D。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live.”以及“But it’s not just about convenience…smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall.”可知，文中提到智能家居的特点包括“舒适”、“便利”和“节能”，但未提到“让人放松”。故选D。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了如今日益发展的智能家居如何改变了人们的生活，因此选项C为最佳标题。故选C。 C Australia has a lot of lovely animals. You cannot find them anywhere else in the world. The most famous are kangaroos and koalas (树袋熊). The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and ears. They don’t walk. They jump. They use their strong back legs. They can jump at 74 kilometres per hour. They can go over nine metres in one jump. Kangaroo mothers have pouches to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. But do you know that millions of kangaroos are killed every year? There are too many of them. There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country. Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough food to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them. The koala is another famous Australian animal. They look like bears, and have small eyes and big noses. They eat leaves from gum trees (桉树). Koalas have a special smell. They use it to mark their home—“This is my place. You can’t come in!” Like kangaroos, a koala baby lives in its mother’s pouch, too. 21. If we want to see kangaroos and koalas in natural forests, we can go to ________. A. China B. France C.

But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use the way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的) . Photography had also become one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just pictures of the real world.

Besides, a better place will also make you more productive. The following are some of the ways to make your school a better place. ◆ Stand up bravely. (1) Do not stay silent when you see another student getting hurt by others. Speak up confidenly and tell them to stop. This will help create a better atmosphere (气氛) at school. ◆ Try to deal with arguments between other kids. When you see other classmates in an argument, you can help deal with the problem. (2)鼓励你的同学互相交谈。 After all, many arguments in school are just misunderstandings between two people. ◆ Teach other students if you can. If you know that other students have difficulty learning a subject that you’re good at, you can help them by teaching them in that subject. Helping other students to improve their grades will help create a positive atmosphere in school. ◆ Make friends with lonely students. If you notice a student who doesn’t have many friends or sits alone at lunch, make it a point to become their friend. Friendship will make them less lonely. So why not encourage other people to become friends with them? 41. How many ways are given in the passage to make your school a better place? ___________________________________ 42. 将(1)处翻译成汉语。 ___________________________________ 43. 将(2)处翻译成英语。 ___________________________________ 44. 从文中找出与下列句子意思相同的句子。 It will help create a positive atmosphere in school to help other students to improve their grades. ___________________________________ 45.

Teach other students if you can. Make friends with lonely students.”可知，文中介绍了四种使学校成为一个更好的地方的方法。四种方法分别是：勇敢地站出来。试着处理其他孩子之间的争吵。如果可以的话，教其他学生。与孤独的学生交朋友。故填Four/4. 【42题详解】 本句是祈使句，并且含有when引导的时间状语从句。Do not stay silent“不要保持沉默”；when“当……时”；you see“你看见”；another student“另一个学生”；getting hurt by others“被别人伤害时”。故填：当你看到另一个学生被别人伤害时，不要保持沉默。 【43题详解】 鼓励：encourage；你的同学：your classmates；互相交谈：talk to each other。encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人去做某事”。故填Encourage your classmates to talk to each other. 【44题详解】 It will help create a positive atmosphere in school to help other students to improve their grades意为“这将有助于在学校营造积极的氛围帮助其他学生提高成绩”，原文“Helping other students to improve their grades will help create a positive atmosphere in school”意为“帮助其他学生提高成绩将有助于在学校营造积极的氛围”。这两句意思相近，故填Helping other students to improve their grades will help create a positive atmosphere in school. 【45题详解】 根据“Make friends with lonely students.”可知，与孤独的学生交朋友。“Friendship will make them less lonely.”意为“友谊会让他们不那么孤独。”所以“them”指代的是“孤独的学生”，即“lonely students”。故填It refers to “lonely students”./Lonely students. 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共20分。 46. 假设你是李华，你很喜欢你所在的城市，但你发现它存在一些环境问题。请你根据下表中的提示信息给市长写一封信，分析造成这些问题的原因并提出改善建议。 Problem Reason Advice white pollution too many plastic things... make laws, encourage... river pollution waste water from factories... close down... smog (雾霾) give off (排放)... public transportation... 要求： (1)信件必须包含以上所有信息，可适当发挥。 (2)文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 (3)100词左右，开头和落款部分已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Mr Mayor, My name is Li Hua.

He preferred watching football matches on TV to talking to his family. Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t quiet as usual. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly found out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan. I had never been interested in football, but Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to find out why this sport was making my father act like a five-year-old kid on his first trip to Disneyland. Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV. “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad patiently explained, “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.” Dad explained almost everything to me. His simple answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At last we had something in common. Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball? 11. From the passage, we can infer (推断) the writer’s father was ________. A. a man of few words B. a parent who is busy at work C. an encouraging father D. a man with a sense of humor 12. The writer felt ________ when he found his father’s excitement. A. quiet B. happy C. curious D. silly 13. The writer’s growing interest in watching the match mainly came from ________. A. eating in a restaurant with the excited fans B. watching a top level performance of the players C. his father’s love of football and words about the match D. his and his father’s common love of German food 14. Which is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s father used to talk to him. B. The writer’s father first visited Disneyland at the age of five. C. The writer and his father finally had nothing in common. D. The writer got closer to his father because of football. 15 The best title for the passage should be “________”. A A World Cup Dad B. The FIFA World Cup C. A Quiet Dad D. An Exciting Match B Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSystemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV，视听的) and automation industry. Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的巧妙) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment. 16. X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________. A. using lights B. using voices C. using radio waves D. connecting to the 5G network 17. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Voice-activated assistants. B. How smart homes are built. C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies. D. Technologies designed for children and the disabled. 18. How are smart homes good for the environment? A. They use recyclable household appliances. B. They are built with special materials. C. They have smart trash bins. D. They help us save energy. 19. Which of the advantages is NOT mentioned about smart homes? A. Comfortable. B. Convenient. C. Energy-saving. D. Relaxing. 20. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Smart homes in the future B. A perfect home C. Live a smart life D. The city of tomorrow C Australia has a lot of lovely animals. You cannot find them anywhere else in the world. The most famous are kangaroos and koalas (树袋熊). The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and ears. They don’t walk. They jump. They use their strong back legs. They can jump at 74 kilometres per hour. They can go over nine metres in one jump. Kangaroo mothers have pouches to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. But do you know that millions of kangaroos are killed every year? There are too many of them. There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country. Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough food to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them. The koala is another famous Australian animal. They look like bears, and have small eyes and big noses. They eat leaves from gum trees (桉树). Koalas have a special smell. They use it to mark their home—“This is my place. You can’t come in!” Like kangaroos, a koala baby lives in its mother’s pouch, too. 21. If we want to see kangaroos and koalas in natural forests, we can go to ________. A. China B. France C. Australia 22. What does a kangaroo look like? A. It looks like a bear. B. It has big eyes and ears. C. It has small eyes and big noses. 23. The word “pouch” means ________. A. 育儿袋 B. 肌肉 C. 尾巴 24. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. The kangaroos can go over nine metres in one jump. B. Koalas like eating leaves from gum trees. C. Koalas use their voices to mark their homes. 25 What’s the best title of this passage? A. Kangaroos and koalas B. Beautiful Australia C. How to protect kangaroos and koalas D In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use the way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的) . Photography had also become one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just pictures of the real world. They showed different feelings, like other kinds of art. 26. Who took the first photo in the world? A. Daguerre. B. Niepce. C. Mathew. D. The writer. 27. What is the daguerreotype? A. A Frenchman. B.

Why was Mathew Brady a famous photographer? A. Because his pictures were lifelike. B. Because he was an American. C. Because his photos were not real. D. Because he loved photography. 30. What does this passage mainly tell us? A. An Introduction to Photography. B. Great Photographers in the 19th century. C. History of photography in the 19th century. D. Photography developed in the 20th century. 四、阅读填空：本大题共1小题，共10分。 Tree houses are wonderful places to play with friends. You can even just sit inside ____31____ (they) and dream.
