I’ll leave the school to follow my dream of knitting (编织) sweaters for penguins in Antarctica (南极洲) and don’t work for the school. I will be back to school after my penguin friends are happy.” Weeks ago, a teacher in the UK sent this email to her Chinese student, and it soon became popular online. You may find this email surprising, but knitting sweaters for penguins is a real act of kindness. The Penguin Foundation (基金会) and Phillip Island Nature Parks in Australia came up with the idea. The activity began because of a serious oil spill (石油泄漏) near Phillip Island in the 1990s. During that time, the number and health of baby penguins had a serious drop. When little penguins were covered in oil, their lives were put in danger. To solve this problem, the foundation asked people from all over the world to knit sweaters for penguins. These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning and stop them from eating the oil. Luckily, the idea worked. In 2001, there was another oil spill near Phillip Island. This time, the sweaters helped save 96% of the penguins in the area. However, some bird protection groups queried, “Might these sweaters put more weight on penguins?” To answer this, the foundation said that the sweaters are only used for a short time. If the penguins are better, they no longer wear them. 49. Why did the teacher leave the school? A. To study penguins. B. To help penguins. C. To have a good rest. D. To sell sweaters in Antarctica. 50. What can sweaters do for the penguins? A. Help baby penguins grow faster. B. Protect them from falling into the water. C. Stop them from eating the spilled oil. D. Clean baby penguins covered in oil. 51. What does the underlined word “queried” mean? A. Showed. B. Questioned. C. Introduced. D. Advised. 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. A new way to feed penguins. B. The problem of oil spills in Antarctica. C. A teacher’s journey to Antarctica. D. Knitting sweaters to help penguins. 【答案】49. B 50. C 51. B 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位老师辞职去编织毛衣帮助企鹅的故事，该善举源于澳基金会，旨在保护企鹅。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据邮件内容“Thank you for your email. I’ll leave the school to follow my dream of knitting (编织) sweaters for penguins in Antarctica (南极洲) and don’t work for the school.”可知，老师离开学校为了帮助企鹅。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning and stop them from eating the oil.”可知，毛衣可以防止企鹅吃到泄漏的石油，故选C。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Might these sweaters put more weight on penguins?”可知，后文表示了质疑，因此“queried”意为“质疑”，与“questioned”同义，故选B。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述编织毛衣帮助企鹅的故事，所以主旨是“编织毛衣来帮助企鹅”。故选D。 C Fish babies in space? In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese had a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou18 spaceship on April 25 they then lived in a closed fish tank with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. In their special closed water world, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste (排泄物) gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管). Such a closed-loop ecosystem (封闭生态系统) is important for future study in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. 53. What do we know about the space study? A. It took place in a closed water world. B. The zebrafish gave birth to four babies at last. C. It took zebrafish less than one month to grow up. D. Scientists from different countries did it together. 54. Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish tank? A. B. C. D. 55. What was the result of the low gravity in space? A. Human bodies got stronger. B. Animals could easily find way. C. The zebrafish swam on their back. D. The zebrafish swam in different directions. 56 What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The plan of the space study. B. The course of the space study. C. The meaning of the space study. D. The finding of the space study. 【答案】53. A 54. B 55. C 56.

The farmer put me on the table, with some small pieces of bread and meat. I was very afraid of falling off the table. The farmer and his family were happy to watch me eating with my small knife and fork. But when I started walking across the table to the farmer, his youngest son, a boy of about ten, picked me up by the legs. He held me so high in the air that my whole body was shaking. Luckily his father told him not to do so and took me away at once. But I remembered how bad children can be to small animals. So I decided to forgive (原谅) him. I fell on my knees and asked them not to punish (惩罚) the child any more. They seemed to understand. Just then I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like twelve machines running at the same time. I turned my head and saw a huge cat, three times larger than one of our cows. The farmer’s wife held it in her arms, so that it could not jump at me. But in fact, because I showed no fear, there was no danger, and the cat even seemed a little afraid of me. At the end of dinner, a lady came in with the farmer’s one-year-old son in her arms. He started crying at once, because he wanted to play with me. His mother smiled and put me in his hand. When he picked me up and put my head in his mouth, I shouted so loudly that he dropped me.

Reading together with others, known as buddy reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has got a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school learnt a lot from this two-year program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and careful. This activity also provided them with a chance to practise lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or getting on well with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more closely as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now winter vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 76.

I’ll leave the school to follow my dream of knitting (编织) sweaters for penguins in Antarctica (南极洲) and don’t work for the school. I will be back to school after my penguin friends are happy.” Weeks ago, a teacher in the UK sent this email to her Chinese student, and it soon became popular online. You may find this email surprising, but knitting sweaters for penguins is a real act of kindness. The Penguin Foundation (基金会) and Phillip Island Nature Parks in Australia came up with the idea. The activity began because of a serious oil spill (石油泄漏) near Phillip Island in the 1990s. During that time, the number and health of baby penguins had a serious drop. When little penguins were covered in oil, their lives were put in danger. To solve this problem, the foundation asked people from all over the world to knit sweaters for penguins. These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning and stop them from eating the oil. Luckily, the idea worked. In 2001, there was another oil spill near Phillip Island. This time, the sweaters helped save 96% of the penguins in the area. However, some bird protection groups queried, “Might these sweaters put more weight on penguins?” To answer this, the foundation said that the sweaters are only used for a short time. If the penguins are better, they no longer wear them. 49. Why did the teacher leave the school? A. To study penguins. B. To help penguins. C. To have a good rest. D. To sell sweaters in Antarctica. 50. What can sweaters do for the penguins? A. Help baby penguins grow faster. B. Protect them from falling into the water. C. Stop them from eating the spilled oil. D. Clean baby penguins covered in oil. 51. What does the underlined word “queried” mean? A. Showed. B. Questioned. C. Introduced. D. Advised. 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. A new way to feed penguins. B. The problem of oil spills in Antarctica. C. A teacher’s journey to Antarctica. D. Knitting sweaters to help penguins. C Fish babies in space? In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese had a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou18 spaceship on April 25 they then lived in a closed fish tank with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. In their special closed water world, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste (排泄物) gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管). Such a closed-loop ecosystem (封闭生态系统) is important for future study in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. 53. What do we know about the space study? A. It took place in a closed water world. B. The zebrafish gave birth to four babies at last. C. It took zebrafish less than one month to grow up. D. Scientists from different countries did it together. 54. Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish tank? A. B. C. D. 55. What was the result of the low gravity in space? A. Human bodies got stronger. B. Animals could easily find way. C. The zebrafish swam on their back. D. The zebrafish swam in different directions. 56. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The plan of the space study. B. The course of the space study. C. The meaning of the space study. D. The finding of the space study. D Soon after we arrived, the whole family sat down at the table for dinner. The farmer put me on the table, with some small pieces of bread and meat. I was very afraid of falling off the table. The farmer and his family were happy to watch me eating with my small knife and fork. But when I started walking across the table to the farmer, his youngest son, a boy of about ten, picked me up by the legs. He held me so high in the air that my whole body was shaking. Luckily his father told him not to do so and took me away at once. But I remembered how bad children can be to small animals. So I decided to forgive (原谅) him. I fell on my knees and asked them not to punish (惩罚) the child any more. They seemed to understand. Just then I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like twelve machines running at the same time. I turned my head and saw a huge cat three times larger than one of our cows. The farmer’s wife held it in her arms, so that it could not jump at me. But in fact, because I showed no fear, there was no danger, and the cat even seemed a little afraid of me. At the end of dinner, a lady came in with the farmer’s one-year-old son in her arms. He started crying at once, because he wanted to play with me. His mother smiled and put me in his hand. When he picked me up and put my head in his mouth, I shouted so loudly that he dropped me. Luckily, I was not hurt, but it showed me how dangerous life was going to be in Brobdingnag. After eating, the farmer went back to his work in the fields. ________, because she put me carefully on her bed and closed the door. I was very tired, and slept for two hours. — Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 57. How did the farmer and his family feel while watching “me” eating with small knife and fork? A. Happy. B. Angry. C.

Reading together with others, known as buddy reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has got a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school learnt a lot from this two-year program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and careful. This activity also provided them with a chance to practise lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or getting on well with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more closely as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now winter vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 76.
