But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way people do. After comparing (比较) dolphins with humans, scientists say they are alike in some ways. How? Communication Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and possible danger. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans, but some scientists are trying to learn. Play Dolphins live in groups called pods, and they often join other dolphins from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Sometimes they run after other dolphins carrying objects and throw these objects back and forth. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way. They both make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use a clever way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发出信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. With the dolphins’ help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why would dolphins like to help the men? There is an advantage for the dolphins. They get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net. As the scientists do more research, they find dolphins and humans have many similarities. 54. Where does a dolphin get its “name”? A. From its mother. B. From scientists. C. It chooses it for itself. D. Its father gives the name to it. 55. Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen? A. Just for having fun. B. Just for getting food. C. Dolphins are such kind animals. D. Fishermen ask the dolphins for help. 56. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Dolphins like humans. B. Dolphins can talk about feelings. C. Dolphins help fishermen in a special way. D.

The world is getting warmer and warmer. We can feel that the temperature is rising and in some places, the ice in high mountains is melting (融化). How can we slow down the melt? Some scientists are trying to solve the problem. Wearing “clothes” In the 1990s, people in Switzerland put white “blankets” on ski areas. The white color can not only reflect (反射) the sunshine but also keep the ice cool. The blankets are made of wool, as a result that rain can go through the blankets and become ice. It can slow down the melt by about 50% to 70%. Today, the “blankets” in Switzerland cover 10, 000 to 50,000 square meters of ice. Painting the rocks Farmers in the Andes Mountains in Peru use a similar idea. Above 5,000 meters, they paint the rocks with white “paint”. The paint is made of water, sand and soap. The soap helps it stick to the rocks. The white rocks can be 16℃ cooler than the dark rocks. Creating snow (造雪) Scientists in an organization called Glaciers Alive turn to man-made snow for help in Switzerland. In winter, they use water from a small lake up in the mountain. The water goes down some pipes. On the pipes, there are shower heads. The water flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain. If everyone can understand the importance of protecting the Earth and take action at once, it will make a difference to the world. 58. Why did people make the blankets white? A. The white color has the feel of wool. B. Rain can go through white blankets easily. C. They want the blankets to look like the ice. D. The white color helps the ice get less sunshine. 59. From the passage we can know ________. A. the ice flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain B. the white color can not only reflect the sunshine but also keep the ice warm C. the “blankets” in Switzerland cover 1,000 to 50,000 square meters of ice D. the paint that farmers in the Andes Mountains use is made of water, sand and soap 60.

Lynn and Mike turned the long rope into big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned. Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her. Millie’s friends cheered, “Go, Millie, go!” Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed. The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope. Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes. “Let’s see how long each one of you can jump without missing,” she said as she gave each student a short rope. “Ready, set. Go!” Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself. After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, “Go. Millie, go!” ________ The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling.

Which sentence can we put on the line in the last paragraph? A. Millie was unsure about the jumping. B. Millie tried the long rope, but failed. C. Millie tried to hide in the back of the line. D. Millie was the only one still jumping rope. 【答案】62. B 63. D 64. A 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了体育课上跳绳的经历让Millie意识到自己在长绳跳绳上的不足，但当老师换成短绳后，Millie表现出色，赢得了全班同学的欢呼。 【62题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope into big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump.”可知，当天是体育课跳绳的日子，Lynn和Mike摇长绳，全班学生都排队等着跳绳，再根据“Millie stood at the back of the line”可知，Millie站在队伍后面，由此可推知，她对于跳绳这件事是不开心的，划线词“frowned”意为“看起来不开心”。故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope.”可知，Millie一开始的问题是不知道如何跑进长绳并开始跳绳。故选D。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing.”可知，事实上，Millie每天都在家跳绳，用短绳她可以连续跳100次，再根据第六段“Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.”以及“she gave each student a short rope”可知，体育老师拿出短绳给每个学生，由此可推知，Millie确信自己能跳得很好，所以她在体育课上第一次笑了。故选A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, ‘Go. Millie, go!’”可知，过了一会儿，Millie意识到大家都在为她欢呼，再根据空后一句“The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going.”可知，这个惊喜差点让她跳错一步，但她继续跳，由此可推知，此时只有Millie还在跳绳，D选项“Millie是唯一一个还在跳绳的人”符合语境。故选D。 五、课外阅读 (本题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) 根据 The Happy Prince，Alice in Wonderland和 Holly the Eco Warrior，把方框中的人物和相应的描述搭配起来 A.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) on December 4, 2024. Rao Quan, a vice minister (副部长), thanked people for their support at the meeting. The Spring Festival, he said, stands for the Chinese people’s hopes for a better life. Over the years, it has provided lasting spiritual strength (精神力量) for the Chinese people, he added. The festival falls on the first day of the Chinese calendar. It marks the start of the new year. Preparations for it begin weeks before Chinese New Year’s Day. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. These include family gatherings, big dinners, and different kinds of cultural activities. The festival starts at the dining table in every family. Spring Festival food traditions play an important role in the culture of Chinese diet. From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, from fried meatballs to red-cooked fish, and from the north to the south, all dishes carry the best wishes for people’s loved ones during the Spring Festival. There are many other old traditions as well. For example, people hang up red lanterns and set off fireworks. These practices are believed to keep away the beast called nian since the beast was afraid of loud noise and the color red. They also write the Chinese character Fu and stick Spring Festival couplets on their doors for good luck. Paper cutting, dragon dances and Lantern Festival events are important parts of the celebrations as well. Together they form some of the happiest days of the year for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is now a public holiday in almost 20 countries. About one-fifth of humans celebrate it. Are you looking forward to the Spring Festival? 96.

They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way people do. After comparing (比较) dolphins with humans, scientists say they are alike in some ways. How? Communication Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and possible danger. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans, but some scientists are trying to learn. Play Dolphins live in groups called pods, and they often join other dolphins from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Sometimes they run after other dolphins carrying objects and throw these objects back and forth. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way. They both make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use a clever way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发出信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. With the dolphins’ help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why would dolphins like to help the men? There is an advantage for the dolphins. They get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net. As the scientists do more research, they find dolphins and humans have many similarities. 54. Where does a dolphin get its “name”? A. From its mother. B. From scientists. C. It chooses it for itself. D. Its father gives the name to it. 55. Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen? A. Just for having fun. B. Just for getting food. C. Dolphins are such kind animals. D. Fishermen ask the dolphins for help. 56. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Dolphins like humans. B. Dolphins can talk about feelings. C Dolphins help fishermen in a special way. D. Some scientists can understand dolphins completely. 57. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Telling a story about dolphins B. Comparing dolphins and humans C. Explaining problems about dolphins D. Introducing the history of dolphins C Global climate change is a very important problem nowadays. The world is getting warmer and warmer. We can feel that the temperature is rising and in some places, the ice in high mountains is melting (融化). How can we slow down the melt? Some scientists are trying to solve the problem. Wearing “clothes” In the 1990s, people in Switzerland put white “blankets” on ski areas. The white color can not only reflect (反射) the sunshine but also keep the ice cool. The blankets are made of wool, as a result that rain can go through the blankets and become ice. It can slow down the melt by about 50% to 70%. Today, the “blankets” in Switzerland cover 10, 000 to 50,000 square meters of ice. Painting the rocks Farmers in the Andes Mountains in Peru use a similar idea. Above 5,000 meters, they paint the rocks with white “paint”. The paint is made of water, sand and soap. The soap helps it stick to the rocks. The white rocks can be 16℃ cooler than the dark rocks. Creating snow (造雪) Scientists in an organization called Glaciers Alive turn to man-made snow for help in Switzerland. In winter, they use water from a small lake up in the mountain. The water goes down some pipes. On the pipes, there are shower heads. The water flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain. If everyone can understand the importance of protecting the Earth and take action at once, it will make a difference to the world. 58. Why did people make the blankets white? A. The white color has the feel of wool. B. Rain can go through white blankets easily. C. They want the blankets to look like the ice. D. The white color helps the ice get less sunshine. 59. From the passage we can know ________. A. the ice flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain B. the white color can not only reflect the sunshine but also keep the ice warm C. the “blankets” in Switzerland cover 1,000 to 50,000 square meters of ice D. the paint that farmers in the Andes Mountains use is made of water, sand and soap 60. What do scientists from Glaciers Alive do to slow down the melt? A. They use water to create snow in winter. B. They paint the rocks in Switzerland white. C. They use small lakes to keep snow and ice. D. They move rain up on the mountain with pipes. 61. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should make better use of the sunshine. B. People from different countries are working in a team. C. People are working hard to keep high mountains cool. D. People are trying to stop the world from getting cooler. D It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope into big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned. Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her. Millie’s friends cheered, “Go, Millie, go!” Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed. The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope. Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes. “Let’s see how long each one of you can jump without missing,” she said as she gave each student a short rope. “Ready, set. Go!” Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself. After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, “Go. Millie, go!” ________ The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back! 62. The underlined word “frowned” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. felt sleepy B. looked unhappy C. seemed angry D. looked excited 63. What problem did Millie have at first? A. She didn’t have any friends in her class. B. She didn’t feel happy because Nick made fun of her. C. She didn’t know the cheers that the other kids knew. D. She didn’t know how to start jumping with a long rope. 64. Why did Millie smile for the first time in gym class? A. Because she was certain she could do it well. B. Because she knew the class would cheer for her. C. Because she thought she was going to make a friend. D. Because she believed she would be the winner of the contest. 65. Which sentence can we put on the line in the last paragraph? A. Millie was unsure about the jumping. B. Millie tried the long rope, but failed. C. Millie tried to hide in the back of the line. D. Millie was the only one still jumping rope. 五、课外阅读 (本题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) 根据 The Happy Prince，Alice in Wonderland和 Holly the Eco Warrior，把方框中的人物和相应的描述搭配起来 A. Alice B. Holly C. The prince D.

It has a long history of more than 4,000 years. It’s also the country’s most important traditional festival. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) on December 4, 2024. Rao Quan, a vice minister (副部长), thanked people for their support at the meeting. The Spring Festival, he said, stands for the Chinese people’s hopes for a better life. Over the years, it has provided lasting spiritual strength (精神力量) for the Chinese people, he added. The festival falls on the first day of the Chinese calendar. It marks the start of the new year. Preparations for it begin weeks before Chinese New Year’s Day. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. These include family gatherings, big dinners, and different kinds of cultural activities. The festival starts at the dining table in every family. Spring Festival food traditions play an important role in the culture of Chinese diet. From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, from fried meatballs to red-cooked fish, and from the north to the south, all dishes carry the best wishes for people’s loved ones during the Spring Festival. There are many other old traditions as well. For example, people hang up red lanterns and set off fireworks. These practices are believed to keep away the beast called nian since the beast was afraid of loud noise and the color red. They also write the Chinese character Fu and stick Spring Festival couplets on their doors for good luck. Paper cutting, dragon dances and Lantern Festival events are important parts of the celebrations as well. Together they form some of the happiest days of the year for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is now a public holiday in almost 20 countries. About one-fifth of humans celebrate it. Are you looking forward to the Spring Festival? 96. When did they add the Spring Festival to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity? ________________________________________________________________________________ 97.
