A 23. B 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者从一棵长得不是很好的树中得到了生命的启迪——我们每个人的人生都是有目的的。直到我们生命的尽头，我都有事情可做，有爱可以给予，有乐趣可以分享。我们可以帮助使这个世界变成一个更好更美的地方。 【11题详解】 句意：她的学校将这些嫩枝给学生们去种。 plant种植；sell卖；raise抚养；get得到。根据后文的“I planted them”可推知，此处学校给学生这些嫩枝是要她们种，plant符合语境。故选A。 【12题详解】 句意：它们中没有一个看起来强壮，但对未来充满希望。 hope希望；fear害怕；trouble麻烦；surprise惊讶。根据空前的“but”可知，此处和前文的“None of them looked very strong”为转折关系，所以，hope“希望”符合语境。故选A。 【13题详解】 句意：我把它们种在我们的后院。 near在……附近；in在……里面；out在……外面；behind在……后面。根据空后的“our backyard”可知，此处考查固定搭配in the backyard“在后院”，in符合语境。故选B。 【14题详解】 句意：过了几年，因为一次割草机的事故和贫瘠的土壤，它们中的三根死了。 one一；two两；three三；four四。根据前文的“she brought home four small twigs (嫩枝) one day.”可知，学校总共给了四根嫩芽；又根据后文的“Only one grew crooked (弯弯曲曲的) and very slowly.”可知，最后只剩一根活了，所以，总共死了三根，three符合语境。故选C。 【15题详解】 句意：最后，它看起来更像一棵肥肥的灌木，而不像一棵树。 tree树；grass草；vegetable蔬菜；flower花朵。根据后文的“Only the...of the tree was still green.”可推知，它实际上是一棵树，tree符合语境。故选A。 【16题详解】 句意：几年前，我注意到它开始死亡。 leave离开；stay待；die死；shake摇晃。根据后文的“The lower branches (树枝) were becoming bare (秃的).”可知，此处表达的应是：这个棵树已经开始有死亡的迹象。故选C。 【17题详解】 句意：仅仅只有这棵树的顶部还是绿色的。 middle中间的；side边；foot脚；top顶部。根据前文的“The lower branches (树枝) were becoming bare (秃的).”可知，这棵树下面部分的树枝已经秃了，由此可推知，此处讲的是只有顶部还是绿的，top符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 句意：我尽最大努力通过给它施很多肥料的方式去拯救它，但这没有奏效。 paint画画；save拯救；complete完成；describe描述。根据“by feeding it a lot of fertilizer (肥料)”可知，作者此处是尽最大的努力去拯救这棵树。故选B。 【19题详解】 句意：我想知道是否仅仅将它砍倒会更好一点。 it它，也可作形式主语；this这个；that那个；these这些。通过分析句子结构可知，“to just cut it down”才是真正的主语，所以，此处需用it作形式主语，it符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 句意：然而，当我走过去近看它时，我注意到某物正在树叶中移动。 Until直到……为止；Before在……之前；As当……的时候；While当……的时候。根据“...I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving in the leaves.”可知，主从句的动作是同时发生的，排除A和B；又因此处若是while引导的从句，从句时态需用过去进行式，排除D。故选C。 【21题详解】 句意：那是一只知更鸟正在顶部的树枝处耐心地建一个巢。 easily轻易地；possibly可能地；politely礼貌地；patiently耐心地。根据空后地的“building a nest”可知，知更鸟在建巢，而建巢需要耐心，所以，patiently符合语境。故选D。 【22题详解】 句意：当我看着它的时候，我笑了。 looked at看；looked for寻找；looked after照顾；looked through浏览。根据前文的“I noticed something moving in the leaves. It was a robin (知更鸟)...building a nest in the topmost branches.”可知，此处表达的应是：当我看着它时，我笑了。故选A。 【23题详解】 句意：我想可能这棵老树还是有用的。 correct正确地；useful有用地；active活跃地；interesting有趣的。根据后文的“but it was still giving a bird a...”可知，这颗老树还是给了一只鸟一个家，由此可推知，作者此处表达的是：这棵老树还是有用的，useful有用的。故选B。 【24题详解】 句意：它可能不健康、不漂亮，但它还是给了一只鸟一个家。 block街区；factory工厂；home家；room房间。根据前文的“It was a robin (知更鸟)...building a nest in the topmost branches.”可知，此处作者表达的是：这颗树还是给了一只鸟一个家。故选C。 【25题详解】 句意：是否我们年轻强壮还是年老病弱并不要紧。 new新的；old老的，旧的；big大的。narrow狭窄的。根据“we are young and strong or...and sick.”可知，此处应填入“young”的反义词，old符合语境。故选B。 四、阅读理解 (共两节，满分35分) 第一节 (共15题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。 A If wind had colors, the world would be more beautiful and lively.

I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested. Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple. Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple. After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can.

A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Steps At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games. If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing. Lightning Strikes (雷击) Lightning does not strike people very often. You might often see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you will stay safe during a storm. 32. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. A storms are frightening and dangerous B. storms often come without warnings C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm 33. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. a building B. a shed C. a car D. a room 34. What is the safest place for us to stay? a. A room with many windows when we’re indoors. b. The school playground. c. Under a big tree when we’re in the open. d. A room with no windows. A. ab. B. bc. C. cd. D. bd. 35. Where can we read this passage? A. In a story magazine. B. In a travelling magazine. C. In a science magazine. D. In a sports magazine. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了暴风雨来临时大自然发出的警告信号，并提供了如何在暴风雨中保护自己和他人的安全建议，包括避雷的正确方法以及紧急处理措施。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening.”可知，暴风雨既令人害怕又危险。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Do not go into a shed (棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe”可知，因为棚屋不像建筑物那样封闭，所以不安全，可推断出“It”指代的是“a shed”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A room with no windows is the safest place to be”和“Stay down in an open space”可知，在没有窗户的房间和开阔的户外是安全的，即bd。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要讲述自然现象以及相关的安全建议，属于科普性内容，因此最可能出现在科学杂志中。故选C。 D A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs.

Ike and Cookie were two similar dogs D. the two men talked about the same dog 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述的是作者演讲关于救过自己的狗，一个老人有着同感，当他们聊后，竟然得知他们说的是同一只狗。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.””可推知，作者的演讲使他想到了他的狗。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ””他眼睛睁大，及根据所说的话可知，他很吃惊。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting”“He had another job, taking care of his sick owner.”可知，小狗去等待他生病的主人。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street.

When they stopped, the young daughter saw an old man ____54____ (sell) apples. She asked her father to buy her an apple. Her father didn’t bring much money ____55____ him, but it was enough to buy two apples. So, he bought two apples and gave ____56____ (they) to his daughter. His daughter held one apple in her left hand and the other in the right hand. Then the father ____57____ (ask) her if she could share one apple with him. When the girl heard this, she ____58____ (quick) took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, she took a bite from the second apple quickly, ____59____. The father was ____60____ (surprise) . He wondered why his daughter did like that. He thought maybe his daughter was too young to understand about ____61____ (share)and giving. A smile disappeared from his face. But suddenly his daughter with ____62____ apple in her left hand said, "Dad, please have this one. This one is much ____63____ (sweet). "The father’s smile came back after knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite from each apple. Don’t judge anything too quickly. Always spare some more time to understand things better. 【答案】54. selling 55. with 56. them 57. asked 58. quickly 59. too 60. surprised 61. sharing 62. an 63. sweeter 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了爸爸和女儿打算分享苹果的时候，女儿却在两个苹果上都咬了一口。当爸爸陷入沉思时，女儿把其中一个苹果递给爸爸并说这个苹果更甜。爸爸由此得出一个道理：任何时候都不要轻易下结论，要留有足够的时间去了解情况。 【54题详解】 句意：当他们停下来时，小女儿看到一个老人在卖苹果。根据“When they stopped”可知，小女儿看到老人正在卖苹果，see sb. doing sth.“看到某人正在做某事”，sell卖，出售，-ing形式为selling，故填selling。 【55题详解】 句意：虽然她的父亲没有带那么多钱，但是买两个苹果还是够的。根据“Her father didn’t bring much money”及“him”，可知此处指父亲没有随身带那么多钱，with带有，表伴随，符合语境，故填with。 【56题详解】 句意：所以，他买了两个苹果，并把它们给了他的女儿。they它们，主格；根据“give”给，动词，可知此处填写they的宾格形式them“它们”，故填them。 【57题详解】 句意：然后父亲问她是否可以和他分享一个苹果。分析句子可知此处缺少谓语动词，根据短文描述的是过去发生的事情，所以该句用一般过去时，ask询问，动词过去式为asked，故填asked。 【58题详解】 句意：当女孩听到这个，她快速地从一个苹果上咬了一口。分析句子，可知此处缺少副词修饰动词“took a bit”quick快速的，形容词，对应的副词为quickly“快速地”，故填quickly。 【59题详解】 句意：在她父亲开口之前，她迅速地在第二个苹果上也咬了一口。根据“When the girl heard this, she … took a bite from one apple”可知她在第二个苹果上也咬了一口，too也，用于肯定句句末，符合语境及结构，故填too。 【60题详解】 句意：那位父亲感到吃惊。分析句子可知此处缺少形容词作表语，表示父亲的感受，surprise吃惊，对应的形容词为surprised“感到吃惊的”，用来修饰人，符合语境，故填surprised。 【61题详解】 句意：他认为也许他的女儿太小了，不懂得分享和给予。根据并列部分“giving”可知此处填写share“分享”的动名词形式sharing，故填sharing。 【62题详解】 句意：但突然，左手拿着苹果的女儿说：“爸爸，请吃这个吧。这个甜的多。” 根据“apple”是单数名词，此处表示泛指，apple以元音音素开头，所以用冠词an，故填an。 【63题详解】 句意：爸爸，请吃这个吧。这个甜的多。much修饰比较级，意味着强调比较级程度上的加深；sweet甜的，形容词，比较级为sweeter，故填sweeter。 七、阅读表达 (共3小题，满分7分) 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Tigers are from the cat family and they are one of the biggest cats. They live in forests or jungles. They are found in India, China, Russia and so on, but you might see some at the zoo. Tigers have stripes on their body. The stripes are usually yellow, orange and black. The stripes match the long grass in the jungle. This helps the tiger hide. When the other animals don’t see the tiger, it can get close and catch them. Tigers can run very fast. They can run about 60 km per hour. They hide their claws (爪子) when they run. However, they are not able to run for a long time. That’s why tigers have to get close to their prey (猎物). Tigers spend most time sleeping during the daytime. They sleep for sixteen to twenty hours every day. They usually look for food from sunset to dawn (黎明). Adult tigers usually live alone. However, a mother tiger stays with her babies and takes care of them. Baby tigers are called cubs. Tiger cubs cannot look for food. Their mother finds food for them. Their mother also teaches them how to look for food. When the tiger cubs are about two years old, they will leave their mother and live alone. Then they have to look for food by themselves. 64. In which countries do tigers live according to the passage? ________________________________________________________________________ 65. What’s the tigers’ running speed? ________________________________________________________________________ 66. Why do tigers have to get close to their prey? ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】64. In India, China, Russia and so on. 65. It’s about 60 km per hour. 66. Because they are not able to run for a long time. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了老虎的居住地、外形特征以及生活习性等方面的内容。 【64题详解】 根据“They are found in India, China, Russia and so on, but you might see some at the zoo.”可知，老虎生活在印度、中国和俄罗斯等。故填In India, China, Russia and so on. 【65题详解】 根据“Tigers can run very fast. They can run about 60 km per hour.”可知，老虎的奔跑速度是每小时大约60千米。故填It’s about 60 km per hour. 【66题详解】 根据“However, they are not able to run for a long time. That’s why tigers have to get close to their prey (猎物).”可知，它们不得不靠近猎物的原因是它们不能长时间奔跑。故填Because they are not able to run for a long time. 八、书面表达 (满分15分) 67. 国际动物救助中心“International Animal Helpers” (IAH) 正在招募志愿者。请你根据以下信息，帮助李华写一封英文申请信，加入国际动物救助中心。 注意： International Animal Helpers Application form Name: Li Hua School: Moonlight Middle School Grade: 8 Hobbies: 喜欢动物、对DIY很着迷、打雪仗 Abilities: know a lot about animals; Personality: … (至少写两点) Hope: … (自由发挥) Email: lihua@163.com Telephone number: 010-5558 6777 1.词数90左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2.文中应包括所给内容要点，可适当发择，使文章连贯； 3.文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息。 Dear Chairperson, I would like to join the International Animal Helpers.

If it matched with the natural scene it would be the most beautiful picture. If wind had colors, in spring it should be green. Flowers come out in spring. When green wind blew around, all the flowers seemed to be surrounded by green leaves. How beautiful it is! The wind in summer should be light blue, because it is too hot. When the light blue wind blew over, you would seem to be in a swimming pool. How cool! The wind in autumn should be golden because autumn is the harvest time, and golden color makes us have harvest feelings. The wind in winter should be light yellow. When light yellow wind blew on white snow, it was very warm. If wind had colors, the world would be more colorful. 26 Match (匹配) the colors of wind with the seasons and choose the right answer. ①Spring a. light blue ②Summer b. golden ③Autumn c. green ④Winter d. light yellow A. ①c; ②a; ③b; ④d B. ①a; ②c; ③b; ④d C. ①a; ②b; ③c; ④d D. ①c; ②a; ③d; ④b 27.

How many friends should a person have — one or many?” “It is very simple,” the teacher answered. “Get me that red apple from the highest branch (树枝) of the tree.” Tom looked up and said, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested. Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple. Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple. After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can. Among them, there will be at least one smart person who can think of a good idea, like getting a ladder!” 29. What did the teacher ask Tom to do at first? A. To pick the red apple for him. B. To find the answer in books. C. To do his homework. D. To work with Tom’s friends. 30. What can Tom learn from his teacher? A. He has as many friends as he needs. B. He needs at least one smart friend. C. He has to be friendly to all the friends. D. He should have many friends. 31. How did the teacher answer Tom’s question? A. By telling him a story about apples. B. By reading the answer. C. By asking him to learn by doing. D. By drawing an apple tree. C Nature’s warnings (警告) When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Steps At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games. If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing. Lightning Strikes (雷击) Lightning does not strike people very often. You might often see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you will stay safe during a storm. 32. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. A. storms are frightening and dangerous B. storms often come without warnings C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm 33. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. a building B. a shed C. a car D. a room 34. What is the safest place for us to stay? a. A room with many windows when we’re indoors. b. The school playground. c. Under a big tree when we’re in the open. d. A room with no windows. A. ab. B. bc. C. cd. D. bd. 35. Where can we read this passage? A. In a story magazine. B. In a travelling magazine. C. In a science magazine. D. In a sports magazine. D A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs. And I saw that when I told how Cookie, my dog, had saved my life, his eyes were filled with tears (泪水) and he nodded. When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.” “Oh, what a good dog!” He nodded. “I lived in Greenwich Village and I had a dog that I raised and hunted with. When I took part in the Korean War (战争), I was hurt and lost the use of my legs. When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting. He spent the rest of his life by my side. I would be crazy without him. I could sit for hours and talk to him... ” His voice became lower, and his eyes were filled with tears again. “I still miss him very much.” I looked at him and then at the sky. My mind came back to the year of the Korean War. It was winter and the sunshine outside became warmer. I, a lonely 13-year-old child, was sitting next to a dog. The dog wore a card with a name—Ike around his neck. “Your dog,” I said. “Was he named Ike?” With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ” That was why Cookie did not come back to me one day. He had another job, taking care of his sick owner. “Yes,” I said, turning to him. “Your dog saved my life. I met him when you were in the war. He was my best friend and I gave him a new name—Cookie.” 36. Why were the eyes of the old man filled with tears? A. It was cold outside and his legs hurt a lot. B. He really loved the story of the writer’s dog. C. He felt sad about what happened to the writer. D. The writer’s talk made him think of his dog Ike. 37. The old man felt ________ when he found that the writer knew his dog Ike. A. afraid B. unhappy C. surprised D. excellent 38. The dog did not come back to the writer because ________. A. he was lost in Greenwich Village B. he went back to wait for his sick owner C. he died in the Korean War when hunting outside D. he went to look after a lonely 13-year-old boy in the winter 39. What is the correct order of this story? ①I was giving a talk in public. ②I learnt that his dog Ike died. ③A man sitting in a chair was listening to me. ④I understood why my Cookie did not come back. ⑤The man talked about his dog with tears in his eyes. A. ③①②④⑤ B. ①③⑤②④ C. ③⑤②①④ D. ①⑤③④② 40. We can infer from the article that ________. A. the dog left the writer in the village B. the writer was the dog’s first owner C. Ike and Cookie were two similar dogs D. the two men talked about the same dog 第二节 (本题共5小题，；每小题1分，满分5分) Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is simply an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’ re not around. ___41___ That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. ___42___ You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories.
