Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 34. The writer’s grandma used the leftover potatoes to ________. A. mix with noodles B. boil some vegetables C. fry bacon D. throw away 35. Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. B. Because she put potatoes into the containers. C. Because she was good at cooking. D. Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes. 36. According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way? A. By shopping ahead of time. B. By throwing it into the litter bin. C. By following her mother’s shopping list. D. By planning the next week’s food. 37. What does the underlined word “feast” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Sweet dream. B. Large meal. C. Happy story. D. Beautiful picture. 【答案】34. A 35. D 36. D 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者的奶奶、妈妈和她都非常节约食物，从中我们知道食物和生命都不应该浪费。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A few days later, Grandma would…vegetables and mix them all together.”可知，作者的奶奶用剩下的土豆和面条混合在一起。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“And I also remember when I watched…later to add flavor to so many other dishes.”可知，作者的妈妈煮的土豆尝起来像培根，是因为她把培根油倒进了土豆里。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste.”可知，作者总是提前计划好一周的饮食，来节约食物。故选D。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers.”可知，此处表示没有剩菜，因此表示这是盛宴。故选B。 C Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles (障碍). When racers reach them, they can ride over them, or pick up their bikes and run. To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running! As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground. After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by watching someone who remounts well. Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go! 38. What can we learn about cyclocross from the text? A It’s a no-obstacle bike race. B. It’s a cross-city bike race. C. It’s a challenging bike race. D. It’s a dangerous running race. 39. What does the underlined word “dismount” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Pick up a bike. B. Get off a bike. C. Get back on a bike. D. Practice riding a bike. 40. Why does a racer have to shoulder a bike in a race? A. To jump over obstacles. B. To take care of the bike. C. To make room for others. D. To hit the ground harder. 41. What is the text mainly about? A. The skills of cyclocross racing. B. The history of cyclocross racing. C. The records of cyclocross racing. D. The popularity of cyclocross racing. 【答案】38. C 39. B 40. A 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了越野自行车比赛情况，以及成为一名顶级赛车手所要具备的技能。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Racers spend only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles”可知，这是一个有挑战性的比赛，故选C。 39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body…”可知，要成为一名顶级赛车手，速度必须要快，而且要做到在不减速的情况下从自行车上下来，所以划线单词是指“get off a bike”，故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles.”可知，扛着自行车是为了跳过一些障碍，故选A。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了越野自行车比赛的情况，以及成为一名顶级赛车手所要具备的技能，故选A。 D I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from? To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders (蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them. Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but weren’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late. So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes, People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests (害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance. How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake, It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favourite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mum on the next field trip. 42. In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”? A. Things make people feel dangerous. B. Faces of animals in the pictures. C. Things that have black faces. D. Faces of people in danger. 43. What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph? A. We might never see any snakes. B. We are not in danger any longer. C. We might not fear snakes any more. D. We might already be killed by snakes. 44. How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes? A. By teaching people skills of killing snakes. B. By driving snakes away through a field trip. C. By teaching them the right way to stay with them. D. By giving snakes a chance to show they are good. 45. What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage? A. Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger. B. Always remember to give people safety tips. C. Face failures bravely and never give up trying. D. Find problems and do research to solve them. 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了人们对于蛇的天然恐惧可能源于进化本能，并且这种恐惧可以通过亲身体验和了解来减少，这对于保护蛇类及其在环境中的重要作用具有重要意义。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They found “black faces”, another example, spiders, faster than ‘safe’ things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster.”可知，“black faces”指的是让人感觉危险的事物。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but wasn't bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it's dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.”可知，意思是如果非要被蛇咬才知道危险，那可能已经被蛇咬死了才明白，即我们可能已经被蛇咬死了。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out that snakes aren't so bad when you know the way to stay with them.”可知，科学家通过教人们与蛇相处的正确方法来减少对蛇的恐惧。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip.”可知，科学家发现人们怕蛇的问题后，通过实验和研究等方式去解决，我们能学到发现问题并做研究来解决它们。故选D。 第二部分 非选择题（60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据句意，用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空，使句意完整，每空一词。 46. We should think of some ________ tips to protect ourselves.(安全) 【答案】safety 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该想一些安全提示来保护自己。安全：safety，safety tip“安全提示”。故填safety。 47. —Have you ________ all his words at the meeting? —Not exactly. I missed the beginning. (录音) 【答案】recorded 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你把他在会上说的话都录下来了吗？——不完全是。我错过了开头。“录音”为record；根据“Have you...all his words”可知，该句为现在完成时，所以此处应用动词过去分词，故填recorded。 48. A miss is as good as a mile. Your plan is well worth ________ twice about. (思考) 【答案】thinking 【解析】 【详解】句意：失之毫厘，谬以千里。你的计划很值得再三思考。be worth doing“某事值得做”，所以应填动词think“思考”的动名词形式thinking。故填thinking。 49. Making our city more and more beautiful is every ________ duty. (公民) 【答案】citizen’s 【解析】 【详解】句意：让我们的城市变得越来越美丽是每个公民的责任。citizen“公民”，空前是every，空后是名词duty，因此空处应是citizen的所有格形式，故填citizen’s。 50. Why not hold a party for your mother’s ________ birthday. (四十) 【答案】fortieth 【解析】 【详解】句意：为什么不为你妈妈四十岁生日举办一个派对呢？分析句子结构可知，应填数词forty“四十”的序数词形式fortieth，作定语，修饰名词修饰birthday。故填fortieth。 51. Who let out the news that still remained ________? (know) 【答案】unknown 【解析】 【详解】句意：是谁泄露了仍不为人知的消息？remain“仍然是”，系动词，跟形容词作表语，且根据“let out”可知泄露的消息应是未知的，unknown“未知的”。故填unknown。 52. The more you read, the ________ you will feel in spirit. (wealth) 【答案】wealthier 【解析】 【详解】句意：你阅读得越多，你将会感觉精神越富有。分析句子可知是“the+比较级, the+比较级”句型，表示“越……就越……”，feel是系动词，所以此处应是形容词作表语，wealth的形容词是wealthy“富有的”，比较级是wealthier。故填wealthier。 53. It’s ________ possible that robot teachers will be popular in schools some day. (true) 【答案】truly 【解析】 【详解】句意：机器人老师真的有可能在未来的某一天在学校受到欢迎。 句子成分分析，空格处缺少副词修饰形容词 possible，故形容词true要变成副词truly真实地。故答案填truly。 54. He was seen ________ out of his office at about 5:30 pm. (run) 【答案】running 【解析】 【详解】句意：有人看到他在下午5:30左右跑出办公室。根据“at about 5:30 pm”可知被看到在下午5:30正跑出办公室，此处是结构be seen doing sth.“被看到正做某事”。故填running。 55. KFC always provides a twenty-four-hour ________ for customers. (serve) 【答案】service 【解析】 【详解】句意：肯德基总是为客户提供二十四小时的服务。空前是形容词，所以此处应用名词，动词serve的名词为service，意为“服务”，故填service。 六、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分） 阅读并回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。 “I must tell you the story about what really happened to Frédéric Chopin’s heart.” “This first Lily, her mother was the housekeeper for the great pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, here in Paris. He had given Lily’s mother a job and a place to live when they hadn’t had anywhere to go, after Lily’s father died.” Grandma continues, “Thousands of people came to Chopin’s funeral (葬礼), held here in Paris. Many did not know him. To them, he was a world-famous musician. To Lily and her mother, he was someone who had shown kindness then they most needed it. They were sad he had died, but beauty of the music comforted them. Chopin’s own Funeral March and Mozart’s Requiem were both part of funeral. “Did you know that dirt from Poland was buried with Frédéric Chopin’s body? And do you know why?” Grandma asks. “I know he was from Poland,” I say. “Yes, he left when he was a young man. Someone gave him the dirt as a gift when he left, and he kept it with him the rest of his life. He always missed Poland, but he never went home again. Russia took control of Poland and Chopin could not return. However, it was his dying wish that his heart go back to his homeland,” Grandmother says. “But Grandmother, I know he was buried here, in Paris,” I say. “True, his body is here, buried (埋葬) with the Polish dirt. But his heart is not here. His heart was taken back to Poland, as he wished.” “Ludwike, Chopin’s older sister came from Poland to Paris to help care for him in the final weeks of his life. Ludwika promised she would get his heart back to Poland, but it was too dangerous for her to do herself. After the funeral, she asked Lily for help. Lily was very afraid because she knew this would be a dangerous trip. “We cannot repay his kindness, but we would like to try,” said Lily. She decided to help Ludwika make Frédéric's dying wish come true. And it was Lily, a fourteen-year-old girl, who risked her life to take his heart to Poland. --Taken from Chopin’s Heart 56. Who was Frédéric Chopin? ______________________________________________________________ 57. Why couldn’t Chopin return his country? ______________________________________________________________ 58. Where was Chopin’s heart buried? ______________________________________________________________ 59. Why was Lily willing to risk her life to take Chopin’s heart to Poland? ______________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of Chopin? Why? ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. He was a world-famous musician. 57. Because Russia took control of Poland. 58. His heart was buried in Poland. 59.

He loved his country very much. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了肖邦在巴黎去世后，他的葬礼及其与莉莉一家人之间的关系，以及他心脏被带回波兰的故事。 【56题详解】 根据文中“To them, he was a world-famous musician.”可知，肖邦是一名世界闻名的音乐家。故填He was a world-famous musician. 【57题详解】 根据文中“Russia took control of Poland and Chopin could not return.”可知，俄国的管控使得肖邦无法回到自己的祖国。故填Because Russia took control of Poland. 【58题详解】 根据文中“His heart was taken back to Poland, as he wished.”可知，肖邦的心被带回波兰。故填His heart was buried in Poland. 【59题详解】 根据文中“We cannot repay his kindness...She decided to help Ludwika make Frédéric's dying wish come true.”可知，莉莉为了回报他的善良决定带他的心脏回波兰。故填Because she wanted to repay his kindness. 【60题详解】 开放性作答，结合文章，言之有理即可。参考答案为He was very great. He loved his country very much. 七、缺词填空（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，每空一词。 Gabe and I both laughed as we pictured what we would be doing next.

(2) Add in some vinegar (醋) (60 ml) and soda (10 ml), then fully mix them. (3) Drop a few mothballs (樟脑丸) into the glass Reason: Rough surfaces of the mothballs and the raisins hold some CO₂ bubbles, causing them to behave like dancing. Experiment after class: (1) Try a similar experiment with raisins (葡萄干) and clear pop, such as cola. (2) Fill a glass with cola and drop a few raisins into it. Result of the first one: As surfaces of mothballs go rough (粗糙), the balls start going up and down in the water. Result of the second one: The raisins also begin to move up and down in the glass of cola. 31.

We know from the passage that the objects in the experiments dance because of ________. A. shape of a ball B. glass C. CO₂ bubbles D. water B When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 34. The writer’s grandma used the leftover potatoes to ________. A. mix with noodles B. boil some vegetables C. fry bacon D. throw away 35. Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. B. Because she put potatoes into the containers. C. Because she was good at cooking. D. Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes. 36. According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way? A. By shopping ahead of time. B. By throwing it into the litter bin. C. By following her mother’s shopping list. D. By planning the next week’s food. 37. What does the underlined word “feast” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Sweet dream. B. Large meal. C. Happy story. D. Beautiful picture. C Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles (障碍). When racers reach them, they can ride over them, or pick up their bikes and run. To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running! As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground. After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by watching someone who remounts well. Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go! 38. What can we learn about cyclocross from the text? A. It’s a no-obstacle bike race. B. It’s a cross-city bike race. C. It’s a challenging bike race. D. It’s a dangerous running race. 39. What does the underlined word “dismount” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Pick up a bike. B. Get off a bike. C. Get back on a bike. D. Practice riding a bike. 40. Why does a racer have to shoulder a bike in a race? A. To jump over obstacles. B. To take care of the bike. C. To make room for others. D. To hit the ground harder. 41. What is the text mainly about? A. The skills of cyclocross racing. B. The history of cyclocross racing. C. The records of cyclocross racing. D. The popularity of cyclocross racing. D I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from? To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders (蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them. Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but weren’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late. So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes, People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests (害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance. How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake, It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favourite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mum on the next field trip. 42. In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”? A. Things make people feel dangerous. B. Faces of animals in the pictures. C. Things that have black faces. D. Faces of people in danger. 43. What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph? A. We might never see any snakes. B. We are not in danger any longer. C. We might not fear snakes any more. D. We might already be killed by snakes. 44 How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes? A. By teaching people skills of killing snakes. B. By driving snakes away through a field trip. C. By teaching them the right way to stay with them. D. By giving snakes a chance to show they are good. 45. What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage? A. Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger. B. Always remember to give people safety tips. C. Face failures bravely and never give up trying. D. Find problems and do research to solve them. 第二部分 非选择题（60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据句意，用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空，使句意完整，每空一词。 46.

He had given Lily’s mother a job and a place to live when they hadn’t had anywhere to go, after Lily’s father died.” Grandma continues, “Thousands of people came to Chopin’s funeral (葬礼), held here in Paris. Many did not know him. To them, he was a world-famous musician. To Lily and her mother, he was someone who had shown kindness then they most needed it. They were sad he had died, but beauty of the music comforted them. Chopin’s own Funeral March and Mozart’s Requiem were both part of funeral. “Did you know that dirt from Poland was buried with Frédéric Chopin’s body? And do you know why?” Grandma asks. “I know he was from Poland,” I say. “Yes, he left when he was a young man. Someone gave him the dirt as a gift when he left, and he kept it with him the rest of his life. He always missed Poland, but he never went home again. Russia took control of Poland and Chopin could not return. However, it was his dying wish that his heart go back to his homeland,” Grandmother says. “But Grandmother, I know he was buried here, in Paris,” I say. “True, his body is here, buried (埋葬) with the Polish dirt. But his heart is not here. His heart was taken back to Poland, as he wished.” “Ludwike, Chopin’s older sister came from Poland to Paris to help care for him in the final weeks of his life. Ludwika promised she would get his heart back to Poland, but it was too dangerous for her to do herself. After the funeral, she asked Lily for help. Lily was very afraid because she knew this would be a dangerous trip. “We cannot repay his kindness, but we would like to try,” said Lily. She decided to help Ludwika make Frédéric's dying wish come true. And it was Lily, a fourteen-year-old girl, who risked her life to take his heart to Poland. --Taken from Chopin’s Heart 56.
