Then, following a process including lining, turning, stepping and leveling the land, we managed to create an excellent environment for the growth of vegetables. Although there were challenges like the hard soil and heavy tools, we saw them as chances to build up our bodies and willpower (意志力). Finally, we mastered the skill of building cucumber frames (黄瓜架), which was harder than it seemed. Although it was tiring, we enjoyed the simple joy of farming. “It enhanced (增强) my responsibility to value the fruit of others’ labor and improved my skills,” said Liu Li, one of my classmates. More amazingly, students’ daily lives have changed, too. “I started having zero-waste dinner and planting in my bedroom,” said another student.

Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids. Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性). Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability. Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.” Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them. 43. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Some students are called “strawberry kids” because they like strawberries. B. Students should be brave in the face of pains and learn from them. C. Liu Yue doubts his ability because his mom always criticizes him. D. Schools today pay more attention to developing students’ personality. 44. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why many students get high grades. B. Why parents have to praise their kids. C. Why schools speak highly of their students. D. Why many students are easy to break down. 45. What can students do to be mentally strong according to Paragraph 4? A. Try to avoid problems. B. Tell a funny joke. C. Help clean up the city parks. D. Ask for help too quickly. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了如今有许多年轻人被称为“草莓孩子”，他们遇到困难就很容易崩溃，文章还介绍了容易崩溃的原因以及应对措施。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.”可知，学生应该勇敢面对痛苦并从中学习。故选B。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Why are many students so easy to break down?”可知，第二段解释了为什么很多学生容易崩溃。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.”可知，为了让自己心理强大，学生遇到问题不应该太快寻求帮助，而应该先自己尝试解决问题，还应该积极参加体育和社会活动。选项C“帮助清理城市公园”属于参加社会活动。故选C。 D Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you’re happy. Some scientists believe birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, most of the time, their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger enters your territory, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether there’s an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. 46. How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A. By telling a bird’s story. B. By describing birds’ daily life. C. By reporting experiment results. D. By comparing birds with human. 47. What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A. An area which a bird considers to be its own. B. An area for which birds fight against each other. C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. D. A place where families of other species are not welcome. 48. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends. B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. C. Because they want to express their happiness. D. Because they want to find outsiders around. 49. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The differences of human and birds. B. How birds keep an outsider away. C. The reasons of birds’ singing. D. Birds’ singing for happiness. 【答案】46 D 47. A 48. B 49. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.”和“If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing.”可知，作者通过把鸟儿和人作比较来解释鸟儿的歌唱。故选D。 【47题详解】 词义推测题。根据“A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own.”可知，territory是指鸟儿认为是自己的领地的地方。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season.”可知，它在筑巢期叫的原因是帮助吓退入侵者。故选B。 【49题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。文章讲述，鸟儿的叫声并非全都是在唱歌，而是一种发出的警告，警示同伴或是吓退入侵者。选项C“鸟儿歌唱的原因”作为标题最为合适。故选C。 E Many people may wonder what the Chinese astronauts’ life is like when working in space. In fact, they do many things as we do on the earth. They brush their teeth, wash their hair and go to the bathroom. However, because of the microgravity (微重力) environment, they look after themselves differently. They wash their hair by using the no-rinse (免冲洗) shampoo to get it clean because there are no real showers in the spaceship. Astronauts eat three meals a day. How much do they eat each day? A woman astronaut often needs only about 1,900 calories a day, while a man requires about 3,200 calories. There are many kinds of foods, such as fruits, nuts, chicken and beef. They can also drink coffee, tea and orange juice. Astronauts can have much fun, too. They look out of the window, enjoying the wonderful sunset and sunrise. Believe it or not, astronauts can even watch movies, play music, read books and talk to their family on weekends. After a long day at work, ________. Just like on the earth, an astronaut goes to bed at a certain time. Then he or she wakes up and prepares for work again. But astronauts have to sleep in sleeping bags in special cabins (舱). Generally, astronauts are planned to have eight hours of sleep. Like on the earth, they may wake up in the middle of their sleep to use the toilet. 50. Why do the astronauts wash hair by using no-rinse shampoo? A. Because this kind of shampoo smells good. B. Because this kind of shampoo makes hair cleaner. C. Because this kind of shampoo is good for people’s health. D. Because the astronauts are in the micro gravity environment. 51. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A. nothing is better than a good night’s sleep B. reading is what an astronaut needs C. it is time to make a phone call D. listening to music sounds like a good idea 52. What can we know from the text? A. The astronauts have to take showers every two days. B. The astronauts are not allowed to watch movies in space. C. The astronauts seldom have dreams when they sleep in space. D. The astronauts can have many kinds of foods in the spaceship. 【答案】50. D 51. A 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国宇航员在太空中的生活，包括他们的日常个人卫生护理、饮食情况、娱乐活动以及睡眠情况。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, because of the microgravity environment, they look after themselves differently. They wash their hair by using the no-rinse shampoo to get it clean because there are no real showers in the spaceship.”可知，宇航员使用免冲洗洗发水洗头是因为他们处于微重力环境中，宇宙飞船里没有真正的淋浴设施。故选D。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Just like on the earth, an astronaut goes to bed at a certain time. Then he or she wakes up and prepares for work again.”可知，就像在地球上一样，宇航员在特定的时间睡觉；然后他或她醒来，准备再次工作，所以这里是指宇航员工作一天后该睡觉了；选项A“没有什么比睡个好觉更好的了”符合语境。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “There are many kinds of foods, such as fruits, nuts, chicken and beef. They can also drink coffee, tea and orange juice.”可知，宇航员在宇宙飞船里有多种食物可吃。故选D。 F There was once a little bird who didn’t want to fly out. “Come on, baby, A bird has to fly,” said Mama. “Not today,” the little bird answered. Papa was the least worried. “He will fly one day when he is ready. We need to wait.” Days passed by. The little bird was happy to look at the clouds and flying birds. But he still refused to fly out of the nest (巢). One morning, a butterfly came. It was the first time that the little bird had seen such a beautiful butterfly, so he couldn’t move his eyes from the butterfly. As the butterfly flew away, the little bird wanted to fly with the butterfly. As he left the safe nest, he found himself unable to fly. Mama was surprised to see him try to fly out of the nest, though he was going down fast. “Flap (轻拍) the wings!” shouted Mama. Papa flew up in the air, shouting, “Dear, pull yourself up. Come on!” A butterfly flew near the little bird. “Little bird, just follow me. Here we go, if you get out of the comfort zone (舒适圈), you can make a big improvement!” she said as she flew high in the sky. The little bird flapped his wings. The wind gave him a push, and up it rose. The little bird was happy to fly in the sky, and Mama and Papa were also proud or him. He was flying happily in the air, and he realized that ________ 53. How did Papa feel about the little bird refusing to fly? (不超过5个词) _________________________________ 54. Who pushed the bird to fly out of his nest? (不超过5个词) _________________________________ 55. What did the bird realize at the end of the story? (不超过15个词) _________________________________ 【答案】53. He was not worried 54. The (beautiful) butterfly 55. We need a little encouragement to step out of our confort area. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一只起初不愿飞离巢穴的小鸟，在看到蝴蝶后尝试飞行并最终成功的故事。 【53题详解】 根据“Papa was the least worried. ‘He will fly one day when he is ready. We need to wait.’”可知，爸爸对小鸟拒绝飞行这件事并不担心，故填He was not worried. 【54题详解】 根据“One morning, a butterfly came…As the butterfly flew away, the little bird wanted to fly with the butterfly. As he left the safe nest...”可知，是这只美丽的蝴蝶出现后，小鸟看到它飞走便想跟着飞，从而促使小鸟飞离巢穴，故填The (beautiful) butterfly. 【55题详解】 根据蝴蝶对小鸟说“if you get out of the comfort zone, you can make a big improvement”，且小鸟在父母和蝴蝶的鼓励下成功飞起来。由此可推断，小鸟最后意识到我们需要一些鼓励才能走出舒适区，故填We need a little encouragement to step out of our comfort area. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） IX.单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句义明确，语言通顺。 56.

A. a travel guide B. a school website C. a science book D. a health magazine B To give us a chance to experience farm life and improve our skills, our class held a special and meaningful activity—working in the field last Friday. We were excited to hear the news. Guided by our teachers, we took part in the activity. Every eight students prepared farming tools together to develop our ability to work with each other. Then, following a process including lining, turning, stepping and leveling the land, we managed to create an excellent environment for the growth of vegetables. Although there were challenges like the hard soil and heavy tools, we saw them as chances to build up our bodies and willpower (意志力). Finally, we mastered the skill of building cucumber frames (黄瓜架), which was harder than it seemed. Although it was tiring, we enjoyed the simple joy of farming. “It enhanced (增强) my responsibility to value the fruit of others’ labor and improved my skills,” said Liu Li, one of my classmates. More amazingly, students’ daily lives have changed, too. “I started having zero-waste dinner and planting in my bedroom,” said another student. We all loved the school trip, some even suggested making a school garden in the empty land to grow vegetables and enjoy the fruit of the labor. The teachers thought the idea was quite great. 39. What does the underlined word “news” refer to? A. Working in the field. B. Sharing farming with farmers. C. Enjoying the beauty of farming. D. Relaxing themselves on the farm. 40. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The activity is done in groups. B. The students don’t have any challenges. C. The cucumber frames are easy to build. D. The tools are not suitable for the students. 41. From the end of the passage, we can predict that ________. A. students may enjoy the fruit on the farm B. there may be a vegetable garden in the school C. more farming activities will be organized D. teachers may build a fruit garden in the school 42. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Parents are satisfied with the amazing activity. B. The class hold a common and wonderful activity. C. Students finish their practical homework perfectly. D. Students learn a lot from the meaningful farm experience. C Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids. Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性). Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability. Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.” Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them. 43. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Some students are called “strawberry kids” because they like strawberries. B. Students should be brave in the face of pains and learn from them. C. Liu Yue doubts his ability because his mom always criticizes him. D. Schools today pay more attention to developing students’ personality. 44. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why many students get high grades. B. Why parents have to praise their kids. C. Why schools speak highly of their students. D. Why many students are easy to break down. 45. What can students do to be mentally strong according to Paragraph 4? A. Try to avoid problems. B. Tell a funny joke. C. Help clean up the city parks. D. Ask for help too quickly. D Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you’re happy. Some scientists believe birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, most of the time, their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger enters your territory, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether there’s an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. 46. How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A. By telling a bird’s story. B. By describing birds’ daily life. C. By reporting experiment results. D. By comparing birds with human. 47. What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A. An area which a bird considers to be its own. B. An area for which birds fight against each other. C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. D. A place where families of other species are not welcome. 48. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends. B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. C. Because they want to express their happiness. D. Because they want to find outsiders around. 49. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The differences of human and birds. B. How birds keep an outsider away. C. The reasons of birds’ singing. D. Birds’ singing for happiness. E Many people may wonder what the Chinese astronauts’ life is like when working in space. In fact, they do many things as we do on the earth. They brush their teeth, wash their hair and go to the bathroom. However, because of the microgravity (微重力) environment, they look after themselves differently. They wash their hair by using the no-rinse (免冲洗) shampoo to get it clean because there are no real showers in the spaceship. Astronauts eat three meals a day. How much do they eat each day? A woman astronaut often needs only about 1,900 calories a day, while a man requires about 3,200 calories. There are many kinds of foods, such as fruits, nuts, chicken and beef. They can also drink coffee, tea and orange juice. Astronauts can have much fun, too. They look out of the window, enjoying the wonderful sunset and sunrise.
