They’re sleeping while she feeds her 10 dogs, 15 cats and the family rabbit. Then she gets ready to care for a group of 10 injured elephants. After feeding the big “family” the day begins for Katherine—rescuing and protecting the elephants from unfair treatment for tourism, giving them care and teaching them to fend for themselves. Surrounded by a large area of forest land, these animals are free to live as wild animals again. Katherine and her team then spend three hours walking in the forest, checking the elephants that are in better condition. “We make sure they’re relearning natural behaviors,” says Katherine. “They need to take care of themselves and not depend on us.” With the help of her friends, Katherine built Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary (BLES), where animals and humans all live in harmony (和谐) together now. So far Katherine has helped save many elephants through BLES, most of which have returned to the wild. “We’ve taken in elephants with broken legs, covered in scars (伤疤), blind, and emotionally hurt,” she says. “One called Pang Dow was so badly treated that she was seriously hurt and covered in blood. At first, we couldn’t even touch her. It took months of trust-building for her to realize we wouldn’t hurt her. Now she’s a powerhouse. She climbs mountains, swims and walks several kilometers a day.” And the woman who saved Pang Dow is a powerhouse herself. Katherine thinks her life is ▲ . “We often have power (电力) cuts, days without running water, no air-conditioning and the house is broken,” she says. “But it’s filled with love and laughter.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文描述了凯瑟琳·康纳每天清晨5点起床，为家中的10只狗、15只猫和一只兔子准备早餐后，便开始照顾一群10只受伤的大象，致力于大象的保护与救助工作。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then she gets ready to care for a group of 10 injured elephants.”以及“After feeding the big ‘family’, the day begins for Katherine—rescuing and protecting the elephants from unfair treatment for tourism, giving them care and teaching them to fend for themselves.”可知，凯瑟琳要照顾一群受伤的大象，而且会给它们关爱，教它们照顾自己。由此可知，凯瑟琳非常喜欢动物。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“rescuing and protecting the elephants from unfair treatment for tourism, giving them care”以及“They need to take care of themselves and not depend on us”可知，凯瑟琳会给大象关爱，教它们照顾自己，而不是依赖凯瑟琳她们。故画线词意思是“照顾”。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So far Katherine has helped save many elephants through BLES, most of which have returned to the wild.”可知，BLES的主要目的是帮助大象回归野外。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We often have power (电力) cuts, days without running water, no air-conditioning and the house is broken”可知，凯瑟琳的生活条件不好，经常停电、停水，没有空调，房子也破了。根据“But it’s filled with love and laughter”可知，但是这里充满了爱和笑声。由此推知，凯瑟琳认为自己的生活虽然艰难但是美好。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One called Pang Dow was so badly treated that she was seriously hurt and covered in blood. At first, we couldn’t even touch her. It took months of trust-building for her to realize we wouldn’t hurt her. Now she’s a powerhouse. She climbs mountains, swims and walks several kilometers a day”可知，Pang Dow在凯瑟琳她们的关爱下变得强壮起来，伤口也愈合了。由此可知，从这个故事中我们可以学到爱可以让伤口消失。故选B。 C Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials. The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. The topic of the passage is about ________. A. health B. nature C. safety D. science and technology 32. What can the robot do? a. take pictures   b. swim underwater   c. make a map   d. remove rubbish    e. discover pollution A. a b c B. a b e C. b c d D. b c e 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Clean-up teams want to recycle the rubbish. B. The underwater pollution attracts much attention. C. There are much different rubbish in different colors. D. People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 34. What’s the writer’s purpose of taking glass for example in Paragraph 4? A. To show it isn’t always possible to remove everything. B. To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C. To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D. To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. An underwater robot B. The pollution of the sea C. Development of modern science D. Environmental protection in Norway 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了挪威科学家发明的一种水下机器人，这种机器人能探测海底垃圾并帮助清理污染。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章首段的“Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot.”和最后一段的“Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. ”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种能够帮助减少海洋污染的水下机器人，即科技对海洋环境的帮助，故选D。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea.”以及“First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information”可知，这款机器人能拍照、游泳以及发现污染。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay”可知，电脑将机器人收集的信息转换成一张地图，地图上用不同的颜色显示不同的垃圾，机器人在海湾里发现了很多垃圾。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,’ said Fossum. ‘So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.’” 可知，玻璃并没有真正污染海洋，如果你知道有一个区域有很多玻璃，你不需要太担心，你要更多地关注那些向环境中释放重金属的东西，即作者谈论玻璃，目的是告诉人们要首先处理最有害的垃圾。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed.”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一款帮助减少海洋污染的水下机器人，A项“水下机器人”符合最佳标题。故选A。 D Ducks love the water. You can often see them swimming happily on the surface of lakes, rivers and ponds. ___36___ Feathers (羽毛) protect them against the cold. Ducks often live near water. This is where they lay their eggs (下蛋). You could say that ducks know water. In nature, they are water experts. This brings us our first expression. If you take to (从事) something like a duck to water, you learn how to do it very easily. For example, when my friend told me that she wanted to start rock climbing, I worried about her. ___37___ But she has taken to rock climbing like a duck to water! Now, she’s even competing in rock climbing competitions. The next expression also describes something with “duck” and “water”. When something is like water off a duck’s back, it isn’t big deal. This expression comes from the fact that duck feathers are waterproof (防水的). ___38___ In English, we use this saying when talking about something that has happened to someone, but they don’t seem to care. ___39___ Take my friend Chuck for example. You can say anything to him and he will not get upset. Nothing seems to ruffle (弄乱) his feathers.

They are not worried or upset at all. B. They let water roll (滚) off a duck’s body. C. Ducks swim easily in all kinds of weather. D. Another expression is to ruffle somebody’s feathers. E.

Though 65. easier 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过讲述牛皮鞋由来，告诉我们改变自己比改变世界更容易，同时要试着站在他人的角度考虑问题。 【56题详解】 句意：国王伤得很重。根据“they hurt his feet”和备选词汇可知，此处指国王受伤，hurt“受伤”，由was可知此处应用过去分词hurt。故填hurt。 【57题详解】 句意：路上有许多碎石头，把他的脚伤得很重。根据“There were lots of broken stones on the road, and they hurt his feet ...”和备选词汇可知，因为有许多碎石头，所以伤得重，且此处应用副词修饰动词hurt，故用serious的副词形式seriously“严重地”。故填seriously。 【58题详解】 句意：当他回到自己的宫殿，他告诉他的人用牛皮覆盖所有的道路。根据“When he returned to his palace, he told ... men”和备选词汇可知，此处指告诉他的人，应用he的形容词性物主代词his“他的”，修饰名词men。故填his。 【59题详解】 句意：然而，即使他们杀了全国所有的牛，也没有足够的牛皮来完成这项工作。根据“He hoped walking would no longer be a terrible thing. ..., even if they killed all the cattle in the country, there wouldn’t be enough cattle hide to get the work done.”和备选词汇可知，他想让人用牛皮覆盖所有道路，但是没法获得足够的牛皮。用however“然而”表示转折关系。故填However。 【60题详解】 句意：他们除了摇头，别无他法。根据上文可知他们做不到国王的要求，所以此处是摇头。head“头”，且由their可知是复数。故填heads。 【61题详解】 句意：这时，宫中一位聪明的将军提出了一个建议。根据下文“why don’t you take an easy way?”可知，这个将军提了一个建议，a后接单数名词suggestion“建议”。故填suggestion。 【62题详解】 句意：你只需要用一块牛皮盖住你的每只脚。根据“cover each of your feet ... a piece of cattle hide”和备选词汇可知，此处指用牛皮盖住脚。cover sth with...“用……覆盖……”，固定搭配。故填with。 【63题详解】 句意：国王既惊讶又高兴，他立刻改变了主意，支持了这个计划。根据“he changed his mind at once and ... the plan.”和备选词汇可知，国王改变了原先自己的想法，支持他的想法。support“支持”，且句子是一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填supported。 【64题详解】 句意：虽然这看起来很奇怪，但它鼓励我们去思考。根据“it seems strange, it encourages us to think.”可知，虽然看起来奇怪，但是鼓励我们思考。though“虽然”符合语境，故填Though。 【65题详解】 句意：改变自己往往比改变世界要容易。根据“...change oneself than to change the world.”及备选词汇可知，改变自己通常比改变世界容易，形容词easy“容易的”作表语；由“than”可知，用比较级。故填easier。 第二节 阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。 AI is changing our world. It is now an everyday technology, as common ___66___ emails or online videos, said Alex Beecroft from Collins. But ___67___ you heard of AI art museum? The world’s first AI art museum has opened in Amsterdam the Netherlands. It shows works ___68___ are created by AI artists. Each of the works is very special. However, not all of them are perfect. ___69___ example, if you look closely, you will see that most hands in the works have six fingers. Researchers say that AI artists will improve with more experience. Some people believe that AI artists and their works will play ___70___ important role in the future of the art world. Do you think so? 【答案】66. as 67. have 68. that##which 69. For 70. an 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了AI（人工智能）正在改变世界，成为了一种日常技术，并介绍了世界上第一家AI艺术博物馆在荷兰阿姆斯特丹开幕的情况。 【66题详解】 句意：它现在是一种日常技术，和电子邮件或在线视频一样普遍。根据“It is now an everyday technology, as common … emails or online videos”可知，此处是将AI技术与电子邮件或在线视频进行比较，表示它们都是日常技术，as...as是固定用法，表示“和……一样”。故填as。 【67题详解】 句意：但是你听说过AI艺术博物馆吗？根据“But … you heard of AI art museum?”可知，此处是一个一般疑问句，询问对方是否听说过AI艺术博物馆，此处用have构成现在完成时的一般疑问句结构。故填have。 【68题详解】 句意：它展示了由AI艺术家创作的作品。根据“It shows works … are created by AI artists”可知，此处是一个定语从句，修饰先行词works，表示这些作品是由AI艺术家创作的，用that/which作为定语从句的关系代词，指代先行词works。故填that/which。 【69题详解】 句意：例如，如果你仔细观察，你会发现这些作品中的大多数手都有六个手指。根据“… example, if you look closely, you will see that most hands in the works have six fingers”可知，此处是举例说明AI艺术品的某些不完美之处，表示“例如”的固定短语是for example。故填For。 【70题详解】 句意：有些人认为AI艺术家和他们的作品将在未来艺术世界中扮演重要角色。根据“Some people believe that AI artists and their works will play … important role in the future of the art world”可知，此处表示AI艺术家和他们的作品将在未来艺术世界中扮演“一个”重要角色，因为important是以元音音素开头的单词，所以要用不定冠词an。故填an。 五、补全对话（5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Hi, Bob!

Thank you very much/Thanks a lot/Many thanks/Thanks for your advice 【解析】 【导语】本对话主要谈论Amy即将去中国游玩，Bob给了她一些建议。 【71题详解】 根据“Are you free now?”可知，对方问是否有空，所以此处应回复“怎么了”。故填What’s up。 【72题详解】 根据“I’m going to take part in a Chinese Winter Camp. I’ll practice my Chinese there.”可知，对方回答了计划做的事情，所以此处应是问“你打算在哪里做些什么”。故填What are you going to do there。 【73题详解】 根据“Could you tell me something about China?”可知，对方想知道一些关于中国的信息，所以此处可以回答“它有着5000年历史”。故填It has about 5000 years of history。 【74题详解】 根据“Good idea! What places do you think I should visit in my spare time?”可知，此处应是表示建议，且与游玩的地方有关，可以表达成“参观一些名胜古迹怎么样呢”或“为什么不参观一些名胜古迹呢”。故填How about visiting some places of interest there/Why not visit some places of interest there。 【75题详解】 根据“You’re welcome.”可知，此处应是感谢（建议）。故填Thank you very much/Thanks a lot/Many thanks/Thanks for your advice。 六、书面表达（20分） 76. 科技馆内，“未来机器人与人类生活”主题展厅的一款语言学习助手机器人让人很感兴趣。假如你是展厅的讲解员，请你根据提示和要求，用英语写一篇讲解稿，向前来参观的人们介绍他（她）。 Name Xiaozhi (wise and smart) Inventor a middle school student who … Look ...

B Every day Katherine Connor is up at 5 a.m., getting breakfast ready—but not for her five children. They’re sleeping while she feeds her 10 dogs, 15 cats and the family rabbit. Then she gets ready to care for a group of 10 injured elephants. After feeding the big “family”, the day begins for Katherine—rescuing and protecting the elephants from unfair treatment for tourism, giving them care and teaching them to fend for themselves. Surrounded by a large area of forest land, these animals are free to live as wild animals again. Katherine and her team then spend three hours walking in the forest, checking the elephants that are in better condition. “We make sure they’re relearning natural behaviors,” says Katherine. “They need to take care of themselves and not depend on us.” With the help of her friends, Katherine built Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary (BLES), where animals and humans all live in harmony (和谐) together now. So far Katherine has helped save many elephants through BLES, most of which have returned to the wild. “We’ve taken in elephants with broken legs, covered in scars (伤疤), blind, and emotionally hurt,” she says. “One called Pang Dow was so badly treated that she was seriously hurt and covered in blood. At first, we couldn’t even touch her. It took months of trust-building for her to realize we wouldn’t hurt her. Now she’s a powerhouse. She climbs mountains, swims and walks several kilometers a day.” And the woman who saved Pang Dow is a powerhouse herself. Katherine thinks her life is ▲ . “We often have power (电力) cuts, days without running water, no air-conditioning and the house is broken,” she says. “But it’s filled with love and laughter.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 26. What can we know about Katherine from the first two paragraphs? A. She enjoys family time a lot. B. Her team lives in a forest. C. She loves animals very much. D. Her kids help feed the animals. 27. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “fend for”? A. Look after. B. Call up. C. Look for. D. Give up. 28. What is the main purpose of BLES? A. To offer medical support. B. To develop tourist business. C. To protect the forest land. D. To help elephants return to the wild. 29. Which of the following can be put into “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. hard but wonderful B. tiring and boring C. fun but meaningless D. free and enjoyable 30. What can learn from the story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Love can make wounds disappear. C. Helping others is helping yourself. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials. The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. The topic of the passage is about ________. A. health B. nature C. safety D. science and technology 32. What can the robot do? a. take pictures   b. swim underwater   c. make a map   d. remove rubbish    e. discover pollution A. a b c B. a b e C. b c d D. b c e 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Clean-up teams want to recycle the rubbish. B. The underwater pollution attracts much attention. C. There are much different rubbish in different colors. D. People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 34. What’s the writer’s purpose of taking glass for example in Paragraph 4? A. To show it isn’t always possible to remove everything. B. To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C. To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D. To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. An underwater robot B. The pollution of the sea C. Development of modern science D. Environmental protection in Norway D Ducks love the water. You can often see them swimming happily on the surface of lakes, rivers and ponds. ___36___ Feathers (羽毛) protect them against the cold. Ducks often live near water. This is where they lay their eggs (下蛋). You could say that ducks know water. In nature, they are water experts. This brings us our first expression. If you take to (从事) something like a duck to water, you learn how to do it very easily. For example, when my friend told me that she wanted to start rock climbing, I worried about her. ___37___ But she has taken to rock climbing like a duck to water! Now, she’s even competing in rock climbing competitions. The next expression also describes something with “duck” and “water”. When something is like water off a duck’s back, it isn’t big deal. This expression comes from the fact that duck feathers are waterproof (防水的). ___38___ In English, we use this saying when talking about something that has happened to someone, but they don’t seem to care. ___39___ Take my friend Chuck for example. You can say anything to him and he will not get upset. Nothing seems to ruffle (弄乱) his feathers. Everything just runs off his back. ___40___ This means the person is unhappy about something, just as what ducks will be if you ruffle their feathers. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. They are not worried or upset at all. B. They let water roll (滚) off a duck’s body. C. Ducks swim easily in all kinds of weather. D. Another expression is to ruffle somebody’s feathers. E. Rock climbing can be a difficult and even dangerous sport. 三、完形填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 “I just want a normal birthday party.” April told her ___41___ as they were walking home from school after a day’s study.
