A. keep B. write C. understand D. choose 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 8. B 9. C 10. D 【解析】 【分析】父亲节那天，作者因为心情不好而拒绝了父亲的“去骑车”的提议，从而说出“Leave me alone！”这样的话。而就在那天，当作者和朋友们从购物中心回来，才发现母亲留的便条，上面说父亲因车祸住院，作者认为自己早上对父亲说的话深深的伤害了父亲，感到十分内疚。几天后，作者和已经能开口交谈的父亲谈论了这件事，然后对父亲道歉。这个故事告诉我们语言的力量，它能伤人也能治愈人，所以对于自己所说的话一定要慎重。 【1题详解】 句意：我的两个朋友前一天晚上去看电影了，他们两个都没邀请我。A. One 一；B. Two二；C. Three 三；D. Four 四。neither指两者都不，因此这里指两个朋友，故答案为B。 【2题详解】 句意：当我爸爸进来的时候，我在房间里想着如何让他们道歉。A. thinking about思考；B. caring about关心；C. worrying about担心；D. talking about谈论。根据语境…ways to make them sorry，应该是想出让他们道歉的方法，故答案选A。 【3题详解】 句意：那是我那天早上对他说的最后一句话。A. common普通的；B. last最后的；C. interesting有趣的；D. polite有礼貌的。根据下文可知作者后来就和朋友出去逛街了，回来后家里没人，妈妈在桌子上给他留了张纸条说爸爸遇车祸住院了，由此可判断出由于作者当时心情不好，所以"No! Leave me alone!"应是那天早上他和爸爸说的最后一句话，故答案选B。 【4题详解】 句意：我忘了生他们的气，就跟他们一起去了。A. strict严厉的；B. happy高兴的；C. pleased高兴的；D. angry生气的。根据上文I was in a terrible mood，可知他本来是跟朋友生气的，be angry with对…生气，故选D。 【5题详解】 句意：我发现妈妈的一张字条，上面写着：爸爸出了车祸。请在公园医院接我们。A. letter书信；B. diary日记；C. note 便条；D. email电子邮件。考查名词词义辨析，根据下句 “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”上面还有文字的东西，可以判断是妈妈留下的便条，故用名词note便条，答案选C。 【6题详解】 句意：你爸爸告诉司机别管他，拨打911。A. me我；B. them 他们；C. her她；D. him他。根据前面Your father told the driver，可知此处指代的是爸爸，指爸爸告诉司机让他自己呆着，即别管他，所以用him，答案选D。 【7题详解】 句意：我妈妈可能说得更多，但除了那些可怕的话，我什么也听不到。A. except除……外； B. besides除了……外；C. towards朝，向…；D. beside在……旁边。根据前句My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear可知作者没有听妈妈说话，结合Leave me alone. How much had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day? 可知此处作者对自己以前对他爸爸所说的“Leave me alone.”的行为感到很后悔，所以此处应该是指除了"Leave me alone！"这句话，我什么都没听到，besides表示“除了…之外，还有…”，except表示“除了之外…，没有”。故此处用except，答案选A。 【8题详解】 句意：几天后，他终于能说话了。A. possibly可能地；B. finally最后；C. suddenly突然地； D. sadly悲伤地。根据It was several days later，可知经过漫长的几天救治后，爸爸终于能说话了，强调不易。故用副词finally最后，最终。答案故选B。 9题详解】 句意：“不，”我说，“我是说那天我对你说过的话。A. how怎么样；B. why为什么；C. what什么；D. that那个。本句中，I mean_____9_____I said to you that day. You know, that morning.所填单词应该作为said的宾语，说的什么内容，即what，后跟宾语从句。故答案选C。 【10题详解】 句意：我们都有权选择该说些什么。A. keep保持；B. write写；C. understand理解；D. choose选择。根据上文My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal（治愈），可知选择什么样的话语也是很重要的，它可以伤害你也可以治愈你，所以此处应是指我们有权力选择自己所说的话，故用动词choose，答案选B。 第二部分 阅读理解（共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分） 请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Summer is a great time to improve your child’s reading!

Chen Zhelun, 25, a Malaysian-Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country’s cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs. The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia. “We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it,” says Chen. To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd— more than 1,000 students have joined the club. “It keeps your body strong and it's fun, says Chen.” But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes. Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters. Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally and physically. “Some students think traditional things are outdated. They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones, ”says Kong Yanquan, 21, a student in Guangxi University. As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong plans to put modern elements（元素）into traditional culture to get students to join his club. “I think it's everyone’s duty to save and develop China's traditional culture among young people, he says. 14. The passage is organized by giving three . A. examples B. tasks C. lessons D. speeches 15. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to（指代） A. watching diabolo shows B. playing diabolo C. talking about old games D. going to primary school 16. It can be learned from the passage that Fan Dongling A. comes from Malaysia B. is good at local operas C. loves quiet activities D. is interested in sports 17. Kong Yanquan advises young people to A. practice writing Chinese characters B. celebrate Western festivals C. pay attention to traditional culture D. make friends with the elders 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. C 17. C 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文通过三个具体的事例给我们介绍了几个大学的学生们通过创办俱乐部的形式，宣扬中国传统文化。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文意和文章结构可知，这篇短文介绍了三所大学里面的学生用开办俱乐部的形式来宣扬中国的传统文化，第一个是暨南大学的空竹俱乐部；第二个是深圳大学的书法俱乐部；还有一个是广西大学的中国地方戏曲俱乐部。因此文章是用举例的形式给我们讲述了大学生们是如何宣扬中国传统文化的，故应选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。短文第二段到第六段介绍的是暨南大学的陈哲伦创办了空竹俱乐部，这句话也是陈哲伦说的，因此我们可以知道这里的It代指的是抖空竹，故应选B。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。题干中问到的是范冬玲，这个人是在文章的第八段提到的，根据第七段到第九段的内容可知，范冬玲喜欢中国的书法，文章第七段的开头But some prefer quiet activities指的就是范冬玲的书法俱乐部，所以这是一个安静的活动，故应选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文最后一段孔彦全所说的“I think it’s everyone’s duty to save and develop China’s traditional culture among young people.” he says.可知，他认为每个人都应拯救和发展中国的传统文化，故应选C。 点睛：这篇短文通过三个具体的事例给我们介绍了几个大学的学生们通过创办俱乐部的形式，宣扬中国传统文化。短文结构清晰，主题明确，比较容易理解。后面的题目设置以细节理解题为主，答案都可以在原文中找到。例如第2小题，这个题目是一个指代题，我们应首先在原文找到划线单词It，结合上下文可知，这是陈哲伦说的话，而他宣扬的是抖空竹这个中国传统运动，因此我们就可以知道It代指的就是play diabolo，故选B。再如第4小题，题目中涉及了Kong Yanquan这个人名，因此我们就以这个人名为指导，定位到原文相关的地方，在短文的最后三段，尤其是文章的最后一段我们可以知道，他认为拯救和发展中国传统文化是每个年轻人的责任，由此可知应选C。 C Sarah stood in front of the mirror (镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me,” she said. “Perhaps the blue,” said Mama, gently. “Sure,” the shopkeeper said. But when he took the blue coat, there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats, hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness, there, as if by magic, was a pink coat. “A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.” “That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said. Sarah spoke up, “I’m small too. Papa, please let me try it on. Mama? Please?” “It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on” Mama said. Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah. “Ohhh!” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister Sylvia’s blouses. “Ahhh!” Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower. “Sarah!” Mama said. Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat. “I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said, taking a step closer. “And there’s no one to pass it on to,” said Papa. And the shopkeeper said, “It’s wise to save money.” Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower. “Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that you can’t always have your own way,” he said seriously. “Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper. Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly. “It is her colour, though,” Mama said. “Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.” Papa looked thoughtful for a moment. “We are lucky,” continued Mama, “that it is only one little coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.” Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough,” he said. “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?” “Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly. She threw her arms around Papa’s neck. “_____” she whispered. “Like a rose in spring,” Papa said. 18. What did Sarah try on first? A. A big pink coat. B. A small pink coat. C. A big brown coat. D. A small brown coat. 19. Why did Mama want Sarah to try brown and blue? A. Because Sarah looked better in them. B. Because Sarah could wear them longer. C. Because they were big enough for Sarah. D. Because they cost less than the pink one. 20. What did Sarah most probably say to Papa in the end? A. How do I look? B. How does the coat look? C. I do look like a flower, don’t I? D. The coat looks nice, doesn’t it? 21. What’s Papa like in the story? A. Serious and generous. B. Kind and funny. C. Modest and patient. D. Caring and understanding. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Sarah和她爸爸妈妈一起去购物，她想买粉色的外套，但她妈妈认为那件外套太小了，只够穿一年，但Sarah非常喜欢，最后爸爸满足了她的愿望，她非常开心。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Sarah stood in front of the mirror. ‘It looks like a raincoat on me,’ she said.”以及“Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.”可知，故事开头，Sarah在镜子前试穿的外套被描述为“像雨衣”，暗示外套过大；随后妈妈建议尝试蓝色，但最终妈妈仍拿着棕色外套，且文中未提到棕色外套的尺寸调整；据此可以推断，Sarah最初试穿的是较大的棕色外套。故选C。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year”可知，妈妈认为粉色外套只能穿一年，而棕色和蓝色的外套可以穿得更久，因此她建议Sarah选择这些颜色。故选B。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Like a rose in spring”可知，像春天的玫瑰，这是父亲直接描述Sarah的形象；选项A“我看起来如何？”符合语境。故选A。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?”以及通读全文可知，父亲最初考虑到实用性和经济性，但最后同意给Sarah买粉色外套，说明爸爸是关心Sarah的感受并且理解她的喜好的，所以爸爸是体贴且善解人意的。故选D。 D An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The species’ arrival has led to a fall in the number of whistling thorn trees, which lions hide behind before they hunt zebras. The big-headed ant is one of the world’s worst invasive species. This means it is not from the area. The ants arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago, and since then have been attacking the acacia ants—ants that have lived there long ago. Acacia ants live in and look after the whistling thorn trees that spread over the landscape. In what’s known as a “symbiotic relationship (共生关系)”, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes. They do this by moving and attacking together. Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble. Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy (破坏) five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open and zebras are better able to spot any lion following them. Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places. The good news is that the lion population remains stable (稳定的) because the big cats are looking elsewhere for their lunch—they appear to be hunting buffalo (野牛) instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their behaviour too, forcing them to hunt in larger groups for the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.” 22. In the “symbiotic relationship”, ________. A. big-headed ants look after whistling thorn trees B. acacia ants feed on animals like elephants C whistling thorn trees provide cover for acacia ants D. whistling thorn trees protect acacia ants from animals 23. The underlined word “aggressive” has the closest meaning to “________”. A. ready to attack B. willing to help C. easy to grow D. difficult to see 24. According to Paragraphs 4 & 5, which shows the CORRECT order of the changes? ① The landscape is more open. ② The number of acacia ants is falling. ③ Whistling thorn trees are in trouble. ④ Fewer zebras are killed in this area. A. ②③④① B. ②③①④ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④① 25. What’s the best title for the text? A. An Invasive Species of Ant B. Changes of the Whistling Thorn Trees C. Acacia Ants and Big-headed Ants D Tiny Ants Can Change Lions’ Diets 【答案】22. C 23. A 24. B 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种入侵肯尼亚的大头蚁，它们攻击当地的金合欢蚁，破坏了金合欢蚁和哨刺树之间的共生关系，导致哨刺树减少，景观变得更开阔，斑马更易发现狮子，被杀死的斑马数量减少，狮子则改变了捕猎行为，开始更多地捕猎野牛，强调了微小的生物也可能对生态系统产生重大影响。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In what’s known as a ‘symbiotic relationship’, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes.”可知，在共生关系中，金合欢蚁以金合欢树 (哨刺树) 为食并利用它们作为掩护，反过来金合欢蚁保护树木免受像大象或长颈鹿等可能过度啃食树木的动物的侵害。故选C。 【23题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs.”可知，大头蚁吃金合欢蚁和它们的卵；据此可以推断，划线单词“aggressive”的意思应该是“富于攻击性的”，与选项A“ready to attack”的意思最接近。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling.”可知，大头蚁很有攻击性，吃金合欢蚁和它们的卵，导致金合欢蚁数量下降，②“金合欢蚁的数量正在下降。”排第一；接着“Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble.”，金合欢蚁数量减少，且大头蚁不保护哨刺树，所以哨刺树陷入麻烦，③“哨刺树有麻烦了。”排第二；再根据第五段“Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open”可知，因为哨刺树被破坏，所以景观变得更开阔，①“景观更加开阔。”排第三；最后“Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places.”可知，开阔的景观使斑马更容易发现狮子，所以在这个地区被杀死的斑马更少，④“这个地区被杀的斑马比较少。”排第四；所以正确顺序是②③①④。故选B。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文开篇指出入侵物种大头蚁改变了肯尼亚狮子的捕猎和进食方式，接着介绍了大头蚁的入侵、对金合欢蚁和哨刺树的影响，以及由此导致的狮子捕猎对象从斑马转向野牛等内容；选项D“微小的蚂蚁能改变狮子的饮食”准确地概括了文章的主要内容，即大头蚁的入侵导致狮子改变了捕猎对象，适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. ___26___ Why is that? The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. ___27___ The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的). ___28___ We once had 10 digits. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. ___29___ Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted (联络) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed. Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone number. But their numbers always start with 0. ___30___ Countries like the USA, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits. A. The number of phones in China is large. B. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. C. Also, mobile phone numbers can be recycled. D. We have all kinds of phones. E. Each part has a different meaning. F. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. G. The main reason for 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. 【答案】26. B 27. E 28. G 29. C 30. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了手机号码的位数、结构、变化及其在不同国家之间的差异。 【26题详解】 根据“You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. … Why is that?”可知，此处是在解释为什么有时会觉得手机号码难以记住，选项B“那是因为中国的手机号码是世界上最长的”符合语境，提供了一个可能的解释，即因为号码长所以难以记住。故选B。 【27题详解】 根据“The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. …”可知，此处是在介绍手机号码11位数字的划分，E选项“每一部分都有不同的含义”符合语境，引出了下文对每一部分含义的详细解释。故选E。 【28题详解】 根据“We once had 10 digits. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.”可知，此处需要解释从10位增加到11位的原因。选项G“11位数字的主要原因是世界上人口最多”符合语境，直接回应了这一点，解释了人口增长导致号码位数增加的原因。故选G。 【29题详解】 根据“Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months.”可知，手机号码可以重复利用。选项C“此外，手机号码可以回收”符合语境。故选C。 【30题详解】 根据“But their numbers always start with 0.”可知，此处需要解释手机号码以0开头的影响。选项F“所以他们不能像我们一样创造那么多数字”符合语境，解释了因为以0开头，所以可组成的手机号码数量受到限制，不如中国多（中国不以0开头，且是11位，可组成的数量更多）。故选F。 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题;每小题1分,满分13分） 第一节 请根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母,在答题卡标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处各单词的正确形式,每空限填一词。 31.

Besides, socialising with humans also ___42___ the health of dogs. ___43___, all dogs are different so it’s important for owners to understand their own pets’ preference. More studies are planned to learn how different parts of a dog’s lifestyle can contribute to its health. 【答案】39. answers 40. spending 41. compared to 42. makes a difference to 43. However 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国的一组研究人员对超过21000名狗主人进行了调查，并利用这些调查结果来了解狗的行为和健康状况。 【39题详解】 句意：研究人员利用这些答案来了解狗，比如它们与成年人、孩子和其他狗相处的时间。根据“… to learn about the dogs”以及所给单词可知，此处说的是一些答案，answers意为“答案”，可数名词，“answers”是从超过21000名狗主人那里收集到的所有信息或数据，所以用复数。故填answers。 【40题详解】 句意：他们发现狗可以通过与其他狗花费时间来改善它们的健康”。根据“dogs can improve their health by … time with other dogs”可知，此空需要填入一个动词或动词短语，表示狗改善健康的方式。根据所给单词或短语，只有“spending”符合语境，表示“花费时间”。故填spending。 41题详解】 句意：结果显示，对比它们生活方式的其他部分，与其他狗社交最有可能改善狗的健康。根据“ other parts of their lifestyles, socialising with other dogs is likely to improve a dog’s health most”可知，此处表示与其他部分相比，与其他狗社交对狗的健康改善最大。compare to表示“与……相比”，此处用过去分词表被动。故填compared to。 【42题详解】 句意：此外，与人类社交也影响狗的健康。根据“socialising with humans also … the health of dogs”可知，此处表示与人类社交对狗健康的影响。“makes a difference to”表示“对……有影响”，主语为动名词短语“socialising with humans”，为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填makes a difference to。 【43题详解】 句意：然而，所有的狗都是不同的，所以主人了解他们自己的宠物的喜好是很重要的。根据“all dogs are different so it’s important for owners to understand their own pets’ preference”可知，此处表示转折或补充。“however”符合语境，表示“然而”，用于引出与前文相反或不同的观点。故填However。 第五部分 短文填空（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Food waste is a world’s problem. Every year, about 1.3 billion tonnes, or one-third of all the food produced is thrown away, according to a survey. Using just 25 percent of that wasted food could feed 870 million hungry people, which would end world hunger. The people of France wasted 234 pounds of food per person, which is much ___44___ (good) than some other countries. In the past, France wasn’t good at ___45___ (control) food waste, but now the country takes the lead. A law was made by the French government. It made France the ___46___ (one) country in the world to prevent supermarkets from throwing away unused food. Now supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food, ___47___ they will face a fine. There are other rules requiring schools to teach students about food sustainability (可持续性). They also ask ___48___ (company) to report the food waste data in their environmental reports. And restaurants should provide take-out bags. “These laws make ___49___ a standard to reduce waste,” says Marie Mourad, a student in Paris who has ___50___ (write) several reports on French food waste. France is not the country ___51___ wastes the least food, but Frenchmen have become the most active because they want to be the example in Europe. “Preventing supermarkets from throwing away food ___52___ (mean) a lot,” says Jonathan, a famous writer. “This step has influenced parts of the French food industry.” It is ____53____ (everyone) duty to fight against food waste. Everyone should pay attention and take action. 【答案】44. better 45. controlling 46. first 47. or 48. companies 49. it 50. written 51. that##which 52. means 53. everyone’s 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界性的食物浪费问题，着重介绍了法国政府为遏制食物浪费所制定的法律，指出与食物浪费作斗争是每个人的责任，每个人都应该积极参与到与食物浪费的斗争中来。 【44题详解】 句意：法国人均浪费234磅食物，这比一些其他国家的情况要好得多。good是形容词，这里有“much”修饰，且后面有“than”，要用good的比较级better，表示“更好”。故填better。 【45题详解】 句意：过去，法国不擅长控制食物浪费，但现在这个国家走在了前列。be good at doing sth.是固定用法，意为“擅长做某事”，所以这里要用control的动名词形式controlling。故填controlling。 【46题详解】 句意：这使得法国成为世界上第一个禁止超市丢弃未使用食物的国家。one是基数词，这里表示顺序“第一个”，要用one的序数词first。故填first。 【47题详解】 句意：现在一定规模的超市必须捐赠未使用的食物，否则它们将面临罚款。“they will face a fine”是前面“must donate unused food”的一种结果补充说明，前后是条件关系，or表示“否则”符合语境。故填or。 【48题详解】 句意：它们还要求公司在其环境报告中报告食物浪费数据。company是可数名词，这里指很多公司，要用复数形式companies。故填companies。 【49题详解】 句意：“这些法律使减少浪费成为一个标准，”巴黎的一名学生Marie Mourad说，她就法国食物浪费问题撰写了几份报告。make it a standard to do sth.是固定结构，其中“it”作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的“to reduce waste”。故填it。 【50题详解】 句意：“这些法律使减少浪费成为一个标准，”巴黎的一名学生Marie Mourad说，她就法国食物浪费问题撰写了几份报告。“has”表明句子是现在完成时，其结构是have/has + 过去分词，write的过去分词是written。故填written。 【51题详解】 句意：法国并不是浪费食物最少的国家，但法国人变得最为积极，因为他们想成为欧洲的榜样。这里要用定语从句修饰先行词“the country”，先行词指物，且在从句中作主语，关系代词用that或which都可以。故填that/which。 【52题详解】 句意：“禁止超市丢弃食物意义重大，”著名作家Jonathan说。动名词短语 “Preventing supermarkets from throwing away food”作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，mean的第三人称单数是means。故填means。 【53题详解】 句意：与食物浪费作斗争是每个人的责任。“duty”是名词，前面要用所有格修饰，everyone的所有格是everyone’s，表示“每个人的”。故填everyone’s。 第六部分 阅读表达（共3小题:54题2分,55题2分,56题3分,满分7分） 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 Feeling joy is good for you and not just because you feel happy in the moment. You can save it up and use it again. A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything and everything that brings you joy—what you like, what and who you appreciate (欣赏), what makes you laugh and feel happy. It’s your journal, so you can include whatever you like in it. Taking time to make a note of what’s giving you joy helps you focus on that experience and draw even more happiness from it. Chartered psychologist (心理学家) Reading says your joy journal can help you remember happier times when you’re feeling a bit sad, lonely or worried. “Turning the pages can help those same feelings of joy flood back, helping you feel better. It can remind you that this moment will pass and joy will come again soon.” Reading also explains, “By recording your joyful moments you can return to them whenever you need a little encouragement and relive them in the future.” “I like drawing so I would draw pictures of me and my friends in my journal because they make me happy. I’d stick in my favourite chocolate wrappers. My dad tells funny jokes so I could write the best ones in my journal too. I always record what makes us all happy and share them with my families too.” —Tanesha, aged 9. Like Tanesha, you can keep a joy journal in your way. Now take your pens and record your joyful experiences to lift your mood! 54. What is a joy journal? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 55. According to Reading, when can you return to a joy journal? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 56. Would you like to share your joy journal with your family or keep it to yourself? Explain your reason(s). ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】54. A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything and everything that brings you joy. 55. When you’re feeling a bit sad,lonely or worried and whenever you need a little encouragement. 56. I’d like to share it with my family. Because the happy memories can also make them happy./I’d like to keep it to myself. Because some of the memories are private and I want to keep them a secret. (回答合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了什么是快乐日记，以及快乐日记的作用。 【54题详解】 根据“A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything and everything that brings you joy—what you like, what and who you appreciate (欣赏), what makes you laugh and feel happy.”可知，快乐日记是一个特别的地方，供你记录任何给你带来快乐的事情。故填A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything and everything that brings you joy. 【55题详解】 根据“Chartered psychologist (心理学家) Reading says your joy journal can help you remember happier times when you’re feeling a bit sad, lonely or worried.”可知，当你感到有点悲伤、孤独或担忧时，可以回顾快乐日记。故填When you’re feeling a bit sad, lonely or worried and whenever you need a little encouragement. 【56题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，回答合理即可。参考回答：I’d like to share it with my family. Because the happy memories can also make them happy./I’d like to keep it to myself. Because some of the memories are private and I want to keep them a secret. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题;满分25分） 57. 快乐的回忆可以帮助我们调节情绪，迎接挑战，战胜困难。相信三年间，你也曾和朋友或家人一起开怀大笑，也曾有过为梦想拼搏的酣畅淋漓，有追寻兴趣爱好的欢乐时刻……。你校英语报计划开设“My Joy Journal”专栏,现向全校征稿。请你根据要求，用英语写一篇短文，记录你的快乐时刻，向专栏投稿。 内容： 1.

Chen Zhelun, 25, a Malaysian-Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country’s cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs. The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia. “We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it,” says Chen. To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd— more than 1,000 students have joined the club. “It keeps your body strong and it's fun, says Chen.” But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes. Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters. Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally and physically. “Some students think traditional things are outdated. They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones, ”says Kong Yanquan, 21, a student in Guangxi University. As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong plans to put modern elements（元素）into traditional culture to get students to join his club. “I think it's everyone’s duty to save and develop China's traditional culture among young people, he says. 14. The passage is organized by giving three . A. examples B. tasks C. lessons D. speeches 15.

Kong Yanquan advises young people to A. practice writing Chinese characters B. celebrate Western festivals C. pay attention to traditional culture D. make friends with the elders C Sarah stood in front of the mirror (镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me,” she said. “Perhaps the blue,” said Mama, gently. “Sure,” the shopkeeper said. But when he took the blue coat, there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats, hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness, there, as if by magic, was a pink coat. “A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.” “That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said. Sarah spoke up, “I’m small too. Papa, please let me try it on. Mama? Please?” “It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said. Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah. “Ohhh!” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister Sylvia’s blouses. “Ahhh!” Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower. “Sarah!” Mama said. Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat. “I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said, taking a step closer. “And there’s no one to pass it on to,” said Papa. And the shopkeeper said, “It’s wise to save money.” Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower. “Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that you can’t always have your own way” he said seriously. “Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper. Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly. “It is her colour, though,” Mama said. “Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.” Papa looked thoughtful for a moment. “We are lucky,” continued Mama, “that it is only one little coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.” Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough,” he said. “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?” “Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly. She threw her arms around Papa’s neck. “_____” she whispered. “Like a rose in spring,” Papa said. 18. What did Sarah try on first? A. A big pink coat. B. A small pink coat. C. A big brown coat. D. A small brown coat. 19. Why did Mama want Sarah to try brown and blue? A. Because Sarah looked better in them. B. Because Sarah could wear them longer. C. Because they were big enough for Sarah. D. Because they cost less than the pink one. 20. What did Sarah most probably say to Papa in the end? A. How do I look? B. How does the coat look? C. I do look like a flower, don’t I? D. The coat looks nice, doesn’t it? 21. What’s Papa like in the story? A. Serious and generous. B. Kind and funny. C. Modest and patient. D. Caring and understanding. D An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The species’ arrival has led to a fall in the number of whistling thorn trees, which lions hide behind before they hunt zebras. The big-headed ant is one of the world’s worst invasive species. This means it is not from the area. The ants arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago, and since then have been attacking the acacia ants—ants that have lived there long ago. Acacia ants live in and look after the whistling thorn trees that spread over the landscape. In what’s known as a “symbiotic relationship (共生关系)”, the acacia ants feed on the trees and use them for cover. In return, they protect the trees from animals that might eat too much of them, like elephants or giraffes. They do this by moving and attacking together. Big-headed ants are very aggressive and they eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either, so with fewer acacia ants, the trees are in trouble. Professor Todd Palmer, one of the study’s writers, and his team, found that in areas where big-headed ants appear, elephants destroy (破坏) five to seven times more trees than in areas free from the invaders. This means the landscape is more open and zebras are better able to spot any lion following them. Zebra killed in these areas are three times lower than in tree-filled places. The good news is that the lion population remains stable (稳定的) because the big cats are looking elsewhere for their lunch—they appear to be hunting buffalo (野牛) instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their behaviour too, forcing them to hunt in larger groups for the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.” 22. In the “symbiotic relationship”, ________. A. big-headed ants look after whistling thorn trees B. acacia ants feed on animals like elephants C. whistling thorn trees provide cover for acacia ants D. whistling thorn trees protect acacia ants from animals 23. The underlined word “aggressive” has the closest meaning to “________”. A. ready to attack B. willing to help C. easy to grow D. difficult to see 24. According to Paragraphs 4 & 5, which shows the CORRECT order of the changes? ① The landscape is more open. ② The number of acacia ants is falling. ③ Whistling thorn trees are in trouble. ④ Fewer zebras are killed in this area. A. ②③④① B. ②③①④ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④① 25. What’s the best title for the text? A. An Invasive Species of Ant B. Changes of the Whistling Thorn Trees C. Acacia Ants and Big-headed Ants D. Tiny Ants Can Change Lions’ Diets 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. ___26___ Why is that? The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. ___27___ The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的). ___28___ We once had 10 digits. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. ___29___ Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted (联络) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed. Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone number. But their numbers always start with 0. ___30___ Countries like the USA, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits. A. The number of phones in China is large. B. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. C. Also mobile phone numbers can be recycled. D. We have all kinds of phones. E. Each part has a different meaning. F. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. G. The main reason for 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题;每小题1分,满分13分） 第一节 请根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母,在答题卡标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处各单词的正确形式,每空限填一词。 31.

You can save it up and use it again. A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything and everything that brings you joy—what you like, what and who you appreciate (欣赏), what makes you laugh and feel happy. It’s your journal, so you can include whatever you like in it. Taking time to make a note of what’s giving you joy helps you focus on that experience and draw even more happiness from it. Chartered psychologist (心理学家) Reading says your joy journal can help you remember happier times when you’re feeling a bit sad, lonely or worried. “Turning the pages can help those same feelings of joy flood back, helping you feel better. It can remind you that this moment will pass and joy will come again soon.” Reading also explains, “By recording your joyful moments you can return to them whenever you need a little encouragement and relive them in the future.” “I like drawing so I would draw pictures of me and my friends in my journal because they make me happy. I’d stick in my favourite chocolate wrappers. My dad tells funny jokes so I could write the best ones in my journal too. I always record what makes us all happy and share them with my families too.” —Tanesha, aged 9. Like Tanesha, you can keep a joy journal in your way.
