It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear. Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake. The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend. Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you are lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us. 36. Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes? A. They welcome snakes as their best friends. B. They would rather see a mouse than a snake. C. They wonder why snakes can cause great fear. D. They learn about snakes and watch them carefully. 37. What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph? A. The writer dislikes snakes. B. The writer has the best luck. C. The writer loves snakes. D. The writer prefers to be left alone. 38. Why are people who really like snakes open-minded? A. Because they are able to put aside differences. B. Because they think all the snakes are poisonous. C. Because they are able to deal with poisonous snakes. D. Because they take part in the poison argument. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了很多害怕蛇和喜欢蛇的一些不同看法。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.”可知，大多数人宁愿看到一只老鼠也不愿看到一条蛇，表明了大多数人不喜欢蛇，故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life...”可知，作者提到的应尊重和保护蛇的生活空间，推测作者是喜欢蛇的，故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.”可知，这些人喜欢蛇是因为他们能放下偏见，具有开放的思想，故选A。 B In English learning, many students are always worried about memorizing words. As the basis (基础) of English learning, words are surely very important. If you want to learn English well, you have to memorize the words. How can you make it easier? First, find the best time for your memory. The best time for memory is different from person to person. Choosing the time properly will make a difference to your study. Never remember words when you are in bad feelings. Second, you should start with easy words, not the difficult ones. If not, you may lose confidence (自信心) and want to give up. Third, remember new words according to their pronunciation. Read the words aloud, and you will find some spelling rules. This will help you a lot. For example, “-tion” is often placed at the end of a word, and the word is usually a noun (名词). Fourth, memorizing words by reading, writing or listening is the best way. You can read more English books and newspapers, try making English sentences, and listen to English songs or watch English movies. In short, I’m sure that you will find your own learning way. No matter how good the way is, hard work is necessary. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 39. How does the writer lead in the tips on memorizing words? A. By showing his idea. B. By asking a question. C.

Recently, a study out of the UK found that playing music (rather than just listening to it) helped older adults stay active across different kinds of mental (智力的) skills. The researchers-collected information from 1, 100 people aged 40 and above. The average age was 68. The influences of playing an instrument, singing, reading a musical score (乐谱) and listening to music played by others were studied. Those who played instruments showed the greatest gains (收获) from the activity, especially for piano and for those who played in old age. This may be because this action requires making your hands, mouth, eyes, and brain work well together while playing. Singing was also good for your brain, perhaps because of its social nature. Because we have such exact brain tests for this study, we are able to look at every way how the brain works, such as short-term memory, long-term memory, and problem-solving. And we can also study how music influences that,” said Anne Corbett, one of the researchers of the study. “Our brain is a muscle (肌肉) like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language. It’s challenging.” The study also pointed out the value of musical education. It is worth picking up even later in life, although music alone-cannot help us avoid dementia (痴呆症). The message is around how people can reduce their risk of dementia, and really thinking about using music as a way of doing that. This study does suggest that it could be part of a much wider lifestyle to improve brain health as you grow old. 42. What did the study out of the UK find? A. Playing music saves the old from dementia. B. Playing music keeps older adults’ brains active. C. Music benefits people aged 40 and above more. D. Music helps older adults learn different skills. 43. Which of the following is the best for old people? A. Listening to classical music. B. Singing soft songs in public. C. Playing a musical instrument. D. Enjoying the music of the piano. 44. What can we learn from Anne Corbett’s words? A. The study includes the effect of music on people’s memory. B. Music can help people pass the test more easily. C.

But Liu Hao greatly enjoys doing the work. Liu says drawing the shapes and carving on the bones with knives and pens requires much learning and also shows the beauty and culture of Chinese characters (文字). When Liu Hao is not going out to study or visit cultural relics (文物) exhibitions, he usually spends most of his time drawing and carving in a workspace in Guangzhou. Liu’s two-story studio lies in a business building in the downtown area of Guangzhou. The upper floor is his exhibition space. Over the past 10 years, he has created nearly 6,000 oracle bone inscriptions. He has given many of them to schools, museums and libraries in Guangdong for free in hopes of helping promote (推广) the culture of ancient Chinese characters. The works on show in Liu’s studio include many copies of ancient oracle bone inscriptions, as well as famous lines from classics, including The Book of Songs, Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) and The Analects of Confucius. Liu also uses modern Chinese characters in his oracle bone inscriptions. “I hope the art of oracle bone inscriptions will also keep up with the times and can be connected with modern elements (元素). The characters are a symbol of culture, and oracle bone inscriptions, as the beginning of Chinese characters, show the wisdom of our ancestors,” says Liu. Liu wants to promote ancient Chinese culture abroad. According to Liu, he hopes to work together with some business groups and companies to promote his works and the culture of ancient Chinese characters. 46. How does the writer develop Paragraph 1? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking a question. D. By making a comparison. 47. Why did Liu give his works to schools, museums and libraries? A. To make himself more and more popular in China. B. To raise more money to continue his carving work. C. To let more people know the culture of ancient Chinese characters. D. To call on students to learn to carve oracle bone inscriptions. 48. What can we know from the text? ①Liu Hao’s studio is in the capital city of Guangdong. ②Liu Hao is very fond of carving oracle bone inscriptions. ③Liu Hao’s works are exhibited on the first floor of his studio ④Liu Hao also chooses to use modern Chinese characters in his works. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Liu’s suggestions for young people. B. Liu’s recent achievements. C. Liu’s interest in Chinese culture. D. Liu’s plans for the future. 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了刘浩致力于雕刻甲骨文和推广中国古文字文化的经历和愿望。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据“carving oracle bone inscriptions (雕刻甲骨文) might seem quite a boring job, as it is slow and needs much attention. But Liu Hao greatly enjoys doing the work.”可知，作者通过对立的观点引出刘对该工作的态度，即尽管它是令人乏味的，刘依然乐于从事此工作，构成了一种比较。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He has given many of them to schools, museums and libraries in Guangdong for free in hopes of helping promote (推广) the culture of ancient Chinese characters.”可知，刘将他的作品送给学校、博物馆和图书馆是为了让更多人了解甲骨文文化。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Liu Hao usually spends most of his time drawing and carving in a workspace in Guangzhou.” 和“The upper floor is his exhibition space.” 可知，刘浩在广东的首府广州工作室内从事他的雕刻工作，并在楼上展示他的作品；根据“Liu Hao greatly enjoys doing the work.”和“Liu also uses modern Chinese characters in his oracle bone inscriptions.”可知，刘浩喜欢雕刻甲骨文，同时也在作品中使用现代汉字，综上排除错误选项。故选B。 【49题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Liu wants to promote ancient Chinese culture abroad.”和“he hopes to work together with some business groups and companies to promote his works and the culture of ancient Chinese characters.”可知，最后一段主要是讲刘对未来推广中国古代文化的计划。故选D。 E Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key. Endless fun Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games. Required equipment Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, a whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and a rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box. Various tents There are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best. Proper locations Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal. Green camping Wherever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your garbage and waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum and do not disturb the plants or animals. 50. According to the passage, which item is essential for camping? A. A skirt. B. A blanket. C. A hat. D. A rope. 51. If the camper faces a strong wind, which kind of tent might be the best choice? A. Lean-to tents. B. Pup tents. C. Alpine tents. D. Dome tents. 52. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. call on more people to take up camping B. introduce the advantages and disadvantages of camping C. offer some suggestions on how to prepare for camping D. remind people to follow the rules of camping 【答案】50. B 51. C 52.

He met a sandstorm during the trip. Luckily, he found a small old house and discovered a water pump (泵) in the corner. He went to draw water, but he couldn’t pump water no matter how hard he tried. He sat on the ground sadly. Just at that time, he saw a small bottle with a cork (瓶塞). There was a yellow note posted on the bottle, which read, “You must put the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget before you leave — refill it with water!” He pulled the cork and found the bottle was really filled with water! He could hardly believe his luck. At this moment, he thought, “If I only think about myself, as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be alive to go out of this desert! If I do as the note told, I might be thirsty to death. Will I take the risk or not?” Finally, he decided to do what the note told him and began to draw water with his shaking hands. Sure enough, the water really came out! After he drank enough water, he filled the bottle with water. He enveloped (封住) it with the cork and added his words after the note, “Believe me it’s really useful. You should learn to pay before you get it!” 53. Where did the story happen?（不超过4个词） ____________________________ 54.

Ⅷ. 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear. Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake. The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend. Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you are lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us. 36. Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes? A. They welcome snakes as their best friends. B. They would rather see a mouse than a snake. C. They wonder why snakes can cause great fear. D. They learn about snakes and watch them carefully. 37. What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph? A. The writer dislikes snakes. B. The writer has the best luck. C. The writer loves snakes. D. The writer prefers to be left alone. 38. Why are people who really like snakes open-minded? A. Because they are able to put aside differences. B. Because they think all the snakes are poisonous. C. Because they are able to deal with poisonous snakes. D. Because they take part in the poison argument. B In English learning, many students are always worried about memorizing words. As the basis (基础) of English learning, words are surely very important. If you want to learn English well, you have to memorize the words. How can you make it easier? First, find the best time for your memory. The best time for memory is different from person to person. Choosing the time properly will make a difference to your study. Never remember words when you are in bad feelings. Second, you should start with easy words, not the difficult ones. If not, you may lose confidence (自信心) and want to give up. Third, remember new words according to their pronunciation. Read the words aloud, and you will find some spelling rules. This will help you a lot. For example, “-tion” is often placed at the end of a word, and the word is usually a noun (名词). Fourth, memorizing words by reading, writing or listening is the best way. You can read more English books and newspapers, try making English sentences, and listen to English songs or watch English movies. In short, I’m sure that you will find your own learning way. No matter how good the way is, hard work is necessary. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 39. How does the writer lead in the tips on memorizing words? A. By showing his idea. B. By asking a question. C. By using a famous saying. D. By telling the facts. 40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Learn English well first, and then you can memorize words easily. B. The best time to memorize words is always in the morning. C. Practicing pronunciation is helpful for memorizing words. D. Writing words is much more important than reading words. 41. What’s the structure of the text? (①= Paragraph 1) ________ A. B. C. D. C As one grows old, keeping an active mind is important. Recently, a study out of the UK found that playing music (rather than just listening to it) helped older adults stay active across different kinds of mental (智力的) skills. The researchers-collected information from 1, 100 people aged 40 and above. The average age was 68. The influences of playing an instrument, singing, reading a musical score (乐谱) and listening to music played by others were studied. Those who played instruments showed the greatest gains (收获) from the activity, especially for piano and for those who played in old age. This may be because this action requires making your hands, mouth, eyes, and brain work well together while playing. Singing was also good for your brain, perhaps because of its social nature. Because we have such exact brain tests for this study, we are able to look at every way how the brain works, such as short-term memory, long-term memory, and problem-solving. And we can also study how music influences that,” said Anne Corbett, one of the researchers of the study. “Our brain is a muscle (肌肉) like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language. It’s challenging.” The study also pointed out the value of musical education. It is worth picking up even later in life, although music alone-cannot help us avoid dementia (痴呆症).

D In the eyes of many people, carving oracle bone inscriptions (雕刻甲骨文) might seem quite a boring job, as it is slow and needs much attention. But Liu Hao greatly enjoys doing the work. Liu says drawing the shapes and carving on the bones with knives and pens requires much learning and also shows the beauty and culture of Chinese characters (文字). When Liu Hao is not going out to study or visit cultural relics (文物) exhibitions, he usually spends most of his time drawing and carving in a workspace in Guangzhou. Liu’s two-story studio lies in a business building in the downtown area of Guangzhou. The upper floor is his exhibition space. Over the past 10 years, he has created nearly 6,000 oracle bone inscriptions. He has given many of them to schools, museums and libraries in Guangdong for free in hopes of helping promote (推广) the culture of ancient Chinese characters. The works on show in Liu’s studio include many copies of ancient oracle bone inscriptions, as well as famous lines from classics, including The Book of Songs, Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) and The Analects of Confucius. Liu also uses modern Chinese characters in his oracle bone inscriptions. “I hope the art of oracle bone inscriptions will also keep up with the times and can be connected with modern elements (元素). The characters are a symbol of culture, and oracle bone inscriptions, as the beginning of Chinese characters, show the wisdom of our ancestors,” says Liu.

E Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key. Endless fun Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games. Required equipment Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, a whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and a rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box. Various tents There are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best. Proper locations Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal. Green camping Wherever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your garbage and waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum and do not disturb the plants or animals. 50.

He met a sandstorm during the trip. Luckily, he found a small old house and discovered a water pump (泵) in the corner. He went to draw water, but he couldn’t pump water no matter how hard he tried. He sat on the ground sadly. Just at that time, he saw a small bottle with a cork (瓶塞). There was a yellow note posted on the bottle, which read, “You must put the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget before you leave — refill it with water!” He pulled the cork and found the bottle was really filled with water! He could hardly believe his luck. At this moment, he thought, “If I only think about myself, as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be alive to go out of this desert! If I do as the note told, I might be thirsty to death. Will I take the risk or not?” Finally, he decided to do what the note told him and began to draw water with his shaking hands. Sure enough, the water really came out! After he drank enough water, he filled the bottle with water. He enveloped (封住) it with the cork and added his words after the note, “Believe me it’s really useful. You should learn to pay before you get it!” 53. Where did the story happen?（不超过4个词） ____________________________ 54.
