一、阅读理解
Chemical reactions(反应) make for some great experiments. You can make use of the CO2 (carbon dioxide) given off by a baking soda(小苏打)and vinegar reaction to blow up your balloon!
What you’ll need
★ Balloon
★ About 40 ml of water
★ Soft drink bottle
★ Vinegar
★ A teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions
★ Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.
★ Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.
★ Add the baking soda and mix it with water.
★ Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
What’s happening?
If all goes well, then your balloon should inflate! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base, while the vinegar is an acid. When the two combine(结合), they create CO2. The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.
1 What does a baking soda and vinegar reaction give off?
A. O2 B. O3 C. CO2 D. H2O
2. What should you do before you begin?
A. Heat the water. B. Drink some juice.
C. Blow up the balloon. D. Pull the balloon long.
3. What does the underlined word “inflate” mean in Chinese?

【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. D 5. A
【解析】
【分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍了用小苏打和醋发生化学反应产生的气体吹起气球的试验方法。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The baking soda is a base, while the vinegar is an acid. When the two combine(结合), they create CO2.”小苏打是一种碱,而醋是一种酸。当两者结合时,就会产生二氧化碳。可知,小苏打和醋的反应会释放出二氧化碳,故选C。
2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.”可知,在开始之前,确保你把气球拉得很长,使它尽可能容易充气。故选D。
【3题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“The baking soda is a base, while the vinegar is an acid. When the two combine(结合), they create CO2. The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.”小苏打是一种碱,而醋是一种酸。当两者结合时,就会产生二氧化碳。气体上升并通过软饮料瓶逃逸。然而,它并没有脱离气球,而是把气球向外推,然后把它吹起来。由此可以猜测划线单词的含义为“膨胀”。故选B。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The baking soda is a base, while the vinegar is an acid. When the two combine(结合), they create CO2.”可知醋是酸的,和碱结合可以产生二氧化碳,结合常识及选项,可知“柠檬汁”也是酸的,因此可以用它来代替醋,故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要描述了一个用小苏打和醋发生化学反应产生的气体吹起气球的试验,故选A。
THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES!
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary (匈牙利) built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It pleased people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone who played chess with it. For decades, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. About 85 years later, the secret was finally revealed. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time, who was obviously very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE (逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, a New York newspaper ran a shocking story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people were hurt. Many people in New York were terrified. But it was all just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, an editor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
ROSIE THE RUNNER
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston Marathon (马拉松) was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However, as she received her prize, people started to doubt that. She didn’t seem to be tired at all. What’s more, none of the other runners remembered seeing her in the race. Later, it turned out that she had run only half a mile (about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest of the race! Her prize was taken away, of course.

A. are not new B. are easily avoided C. are always cruel D. are usually unbelievable

You think it’s “cool” to carry your backpacks and head out to school. But if you don’t know exactly how to choose, load, lift and wear them, you may carry a heavy load improperly(不正确地) and even hurt the spinal column(脊柱). This also can cause muscle strain, headaches, back, neck and arm pain.
For example, if it is carried on one shoulder, a heavy backpack forces the muscles and spine to balance the unequal weight. This may increase the possible back problems later in life. More than 50 percent of young people suffer back pain by their teenage years. Research shows that this could be mainly caused by improper use of backpacks. Here’s some advice to help you carry backpacks comfortably and safely.
Choose the right backpack. Forget leather(皮革)! It looks great, but it’s far too heavy. Go for canvas(帆布). Pick a pack that has two wide, adjustable, comfortable shoulder straps(带子), along with a hip or waist strap, and plenty of pockets. Make sure the pack fits properly and its size is suitable for the wearer’s body.
Packing it properly. Only put in the pack what is needed for that day. It’s a good idea to know what each object weighs. The total weight of the filled pack should be no more than 10 to 15 percent of the wearer’s own body weight. Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside, away from the back.
Putting the backpack on. Put the pack on a smooth surface, at waist height. Put on the pack, one shoulder at a time, then adjust(调整)the straps to fit comfortably. Remember when lifting a backpack, or anything, to lift using the arms and legs and to bend at the knees.
Take the above advice, and you may not complain back pain, numbness or weakness in your arms and legs any more.
11. What could mainly cause some young people to suffer back pain by their teenage years?
A. Too much homework. B. Poor treatment for backs.
C. Improper use of backpacks. D. Unhealthy sleep position.
12. Which of the following does the writer suggest?
①Choose leather backpacks because it looks “cool” to go to school.
②Pick a pack that its size is suitable for the wearer’s body.
③Make sure the backpack contains only what is needed for that day.
④Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside.
⑤Put the pack on a smooth surface, above the waist height.
A. ①②④ B. ①③⑤ C. ②③④ D. ②③⑤
13. If a boy weighs 40kg, how heavy should his filled backpack be at most?
A. About 4kg. B. About 6kg. C. About 10kg. D. About 15kg.

三、任务型阅读
Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)
Once upon a time, a man was lucky to have a loving son. But the young man never had to deal with any problems.
“My boy should have some experience of dealing with ill luck,” thought the father, so he sent the son into the forest to bring back some wood. Only an old cart (马车) with two oxen (公牛) was free for the work.
“If your cart breaks up in the forest, ‘Necessity’ will teach you what to do,” the man said. The son thought that “Necessity” must be a kind man who lived in the forest and helped people in trouble.
The son drove far into the forest and found lots of good trees. He cut down the trees and put the wood onto the cart. When the cart was full, he set off for home. However, as he drove over the rough ground, one of the axles (车轴) broke.
“I hope that ‘Necessity’ is nearby,” thought the son. Then he ran all the way through the forest and shouted, “NECESSITY! NE-CESS-ITY!!”
No one answered.
“I will stop searching for Father’s clever friend,” he thought. “I will do the job myself. What useless advice Father gave me!”
He went back to the cart and started to repair the axle. When the work was done, he drove home. Finally, he made a fine job of both the repair and collecting good wood.
His father was pleased with him, but the boy was quite angry. “I could not find ‘Necessity’ anywhere,” said the son. “He did not teach me anything. All I’ve learned is that 6 .”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了英国所设立的“国家微笑月”,皆在唤起人们对保护牙齿的重视度。在这个月里,人们开始思考刷牙、少吃甜食和时不时去看医生的重要性。
【51题详解】
句意:它始于1930年5月14日的英国。根据“on the 14th of May in the 1930”可知,句子是一般过去时,动词用过去式,故填started。
【52题详解】
句意:在这个月里,人们被要求考虑刷牙、少吃甜食和偶尔去看牙医的重要性。the后接名词,important的名词为importance,表示“重要性”,抽象名词不可数。故填importance。
【53题详解】
句意:在这个月里,人们被要求考虑刷牙、少吃甜食和偶尔去看牙医的重要性。该空与brushing和eating并列,用动名词形式。故填going。
【54题详解】
句意:英国人牙不好是出了名的。be famous for“因……而出名”,后接出名的原因,故填for。
【55题详解】
句意:然而,在美国,“好莱坞微笑”之所以得名,是因为美国电影明星们都以炫耀他们美丽的牙齿而自豪。由空前后句句意可知,空处表示转折关系,且有逗号与后句隔开,应是副词however“然而”。故选(H)owever。
【56题详解】
句意:然而,在美国,“好莱坞微笑”之所以得名,是因为美国电影明星们都以炫耀他们美丽的牙齿而自豪。be proud to do sth.为固定搭配,意思是“为做某事感到骄傲”。故填proud。
【57题详解】
句意:但是在英国微笑怎么样?what about doing“做某事怎么样”,该空填动名词形式。故填smiling。
【58题详解】
句意:据说英国人不常表露自己的感情。“It’s said that+从句”是固定句型,表示“据说……”。故填said。
【59题详解】
句意:但实际上这取决于具体情况。此句是一般现在时,主语it是单数形式,动词用三单形式,故填depends。
【60题详解】
句意:但如果你是在一个聚会上,你会发现每个人都笑得很开心,很大声。此空与loudly构成并列关系,故此空应填副词,修饰动词smiling,故填happily。

THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES!
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary (匈牙利) built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It pleased people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone who played chess with it. For decades, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. About 85 years later, the secret was finally revealed. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time, who was obviously very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE (逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, a New York newspaper ran a shocking story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people were hurt. Many people in New York were terrified. But it was all just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, an editor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
ROSIE THE RUNNER
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston Marathon (马拉松) was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However, as she received her prize, people started to doubt that. She didn’t seem to be tired at all. What’s more, none of the other runners remembered seeing her in the race. Later, it turned out that she had run only half a mile (about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest of the race! Her prize was taken away, of course.

C. She ran only half a mile in the race. D. She took the bus for the rest of the race.
10. The title for the passage shows us that the writer thinks that hoaxes ________.
A. are not new B. are easily avoided C. are always cruel D. are usually unbelievable
You think it’s “cool” to carry your backpacks and head out to school. But if you don’t know exactly how to choose, load, lift and wear them, you may carry a heavy load improperly(不正确地) and even hurt the spinal column(脊柱). This also can cause muscle strain, headaches, back, neck and arm pain.
For example, if it is carried on one shoulder, a heavy backpack forces the muscles and spine to balance the unequal weight. This may increase the possible back problems later in life. More than 50 percent of young people suffer back pain by their teenage years. Research shows that this could be mainly caused by improper use of backpacks. Here’s some advice to help you carry backpacks comfortably and safely.
Choose the right backpack. Forget leather(皮革)! It looks great, but it’s far too heavy. Go for canvas(帆布). Pick a pack that has two wide, adjustable, comfortable shoulder straps(带子), along with a hip or waist strap, and plenty of pockets. Make sure the pack fits properly and its size is suitable for the wearer’s body.
Packing it properly. Only put in the pack what is needed for that day. It’s a good idea to know what each object weighs. The total weight of the filled pack should be no more than 10 to 15 percent of the wearer’s own body weight. Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside, away from the back.
Putting the backpack on. Put the pack on a smooth surface, at waist height. Put on the pack, one shoulder at a time, then adjust(调整)the straps to fit comfortably. Remember when lifting a backpack, or anything, to lift using the arms and legs and to bend at the knees.
Take the above advice, and you may not complain back pain, numbness or weakness in your arms and legs any more.
11. What could mainly cause some young people to suffer back pain by their teenage years?
A. Too much homework. B. Poor treatment for backs.
C. Improper use of backpacks. D. Unhealthy sleep position.
12. Which of the following does the writer suggest?
①Choose leather backpacks because it looks “cool” to go to school.
②Pick a pack that its size is suitable for the wearer’s body.
③Make sure the backpack contains only what is needed for that day.
④Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside.
⑤Put the pack on a smooth surface, above the waist height.
A. ①②④ B. ①③⑤ C. ②③④ D. ②③⑤
13. If a boy weighs 40kg, how heavy should his filled backpack be at most?
A. About 4kg. B. About 6kg. C. About 10kg. D. About 15kg.
14. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Some problems that teenagers face in their study at school.
B. The suitable backpack material that you should choose.
C. The good influence that backpacks have on your health.
D. Some advice on how to carry backpacks comfortably and safely.

三、任务型阅读
Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)
Once upon a time, a man was lucky to have a loving son. But the young man never had to deal with any problems.
“My boy should have some experience of dealing with ill luck,” thought the father, so he sent the son into the forest to bring back some wood. Only an old cart (马车) with two oxen (公牛) was free for the work.
“If your cart breaks up in the forest, ‘Necessity’ will teach you what to do,” the man said. The son thought that “Necessity” must be a kind man who lived in the forest and helped people in trouble.
The son drove far into the forest and found lots of good trees. He cut down the trees and put the wood onto the cart. When the cart was full, he set off for home. However, as he drove over the rough ground, one of the axles (车轴) broke.
“I hope that ‘Necessity’ is nearby,” thought the son. Then he ran all the way through the forest and shouted, “NECESSITY! NE-CESS-ITY!!”
No one answered.
“I will stop searching for Father’s clever friend,” he thought. “I will do the job myself. What useless advice Father gave me!”
He went back to the cart and started to repair the axle. When the work was done, he drove home. Finally, he made a fine job of both the repair and collecting good wood.
His father was pleased with him, but the boy was quite angry. “I could not find ‘Necessity’ anywhere,” said the son. “He did not teach me anything. All I’ve learned is that 6 .”
“There you are,” smiled the father. “‘Necessity’ did teach you a good lesson. I told you he would.”

________,________________.
31. Where did the father send the son?
________________________________.
32. Who was “Necessity” according to the son?
