This activity not only exercises the body but also develops focus and patience, making it a great way to stay active and have fun. ________ It is an old Chinese game believed to be over 4, 000 years old.

When he is free, he also writes novels and sings operas. That’s not all. Painting, music, kung fu, ancient poems, etc. are all his hobbies. So a number of people call him “treasure security guard”. Lu Junling said, “If I want to become an artist, I will always work hard for my dream!” Mr. Lu’s words live in many people’s memory. In fact, there are many dream runners in university. They not only love their jobs, but also keep on learning. For example. Xing Guoqin, a cleaning lady from Tsinghua University, started to learn piano by self-learning at the age of 55. What a great surprise! “Your hobbies have nothing to do with your age. It’s never too late to do things you love,” she said. A professional cook in a college dining hall asked for leave from work to be a judge for the Winter Olympic Games, which has surprised many people. And they couldn’t help saying, “He is too powerful to hide!” Though they all just have ordinary jobs, they never forget to chase their dreams. Their positive attitude and their brave efforts have amazed the whole world. They show their own strength to the world, “Life has no limits. You can do anything if you have a strong will. Whoever has a drear is fantastic!” 31. Many people call Lu Junling “treasure security guard” because ________.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了三位在大学工作的普通人（保安、清洁工、厨师）如何通过不断学习和追求梦想，展现出积极的生活态度和强大的意志力。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Painting, music, kung fu, ancient poems, etc. are all his hobbies. So a number of people call him ‘treasure security guard’…If I want to become an artist, I will always work hard for my dream!”可知，Lu Junling被称为“宝藏保安”是因为他有很多爱好，并且为之努力。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Though they all just have ordinary jobs, they never forget to chase their dreams.”可知，文章讲述了三位在大学工作的普通人（保安、清洁工、厨师）追求梦想，故此处“chase”意为“追逐”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Xing Guoqin, a cleaning lady from Tsinghua University, started to learn piano by self-learning at the age of 55.”可推知，Xing Guoqin是通过自学学习钢琴的。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“They show their own strength to the world, ‘Life has no limits.

They built yard walls to keep thieves and animals away from their villages; they built city walls to protect people from enemies; also, they built the Great Wall to safeguard their country. The “wall culture” continues for centuries, and lots of money has been spent to build walls around housing areas, campuses (校园), or even a public park. But with the development of the society and a safer environment, people realize that building walls may waste money and space. Walls around some community squares and public parks in cities have given way to fences (围栏). In some cities, even the fences have disappeared. Several years ago, Beijing took the lead in taking down the fences in free public parks. People were worried that the fruits and plants would be stolen overnight and the grass could be destroyed within a few days. But that didn’t happen, showing that people know what is good and what is not for both the city and themselves. ★ It is reported that some new universities have no boundary walls (边界墙) now. Without physical walls, maybe there are no boundaries in academics (学术), either. Also, the wall-less campuses are believed to be friendly to a more open society. Students who have been separated from the realities (现实) of the world need to step out of their “ivory towers” and experience the society from different angles. Perhaps the open society and wall-less campuses can encourage unexpected creative ideas. However, taking down walls in campuses still has a long way to go. Traditional beliefs and habits among people are still strong. Most universities don’t want to take down the boundary walls. They worry that it may bring danger to the school safety and bother the students and staff members there as they can’t focus their attention. Although some efforts to take down physical walls have failed, it doesn’t matter. Tearing down the walls in our minds is more important. An open “no-wall” attitude is indeed a trend (趋势) of the future. 36. Paragraph one mainly talks about ________. A. the history of the wall culture B. types of yard walls C. the importance of the Great Wall D. uses of ancient walls 37. According to paragraph three, people may think some walls in cities ________. A. are no longer needed B. create a sense of community C. keep people free D. protect their homes and themselves 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Many people complain about the walls in parks. B. Building wall-less campuses is another example. C. Walls are harder to be taken down in campuses. D. Life in universities is becoming less colorful. 39. What are the possible results of building wall-less campuses? ① Wasting a lot of money and space. ② Bringing danger to students’ safety. ③ Encouraging students to be more creative. ④ Allowing knowledge and ideas to flow freely. ⑤ Making students more focused on their study. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①④⑤ 40. In the writer’s opinion, ________. A. walls were always a waste of money in history B. people should tear down all the boundary walls C. it is important to tear down the walls in our minds D. people succeeded in tearing down walls in our minds 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了墙文化在中国持续了几个世纪，但随着社会的发展和环境的安全，人们意识到修建围墙可能会浪费金钱和空间，现在城市中一些社区广场和公共公园周围的围墙已经被围栏所取代，然而人们的传统信仰和习惯仍然很牢固，大多数大学都不想拆除边界墙。 【36题详解】 段落大意题。根据第一段“They built yard walls to keep thieves and animals away from their villages; they built city walls to protect people from enemies; also, they built the Great Wall to safeguard their country.”可知，第一段讲述了古代墙的不同的用途。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Walls around some community squares and public parks in cities have given way to fences In some cities, even the fences have disappeared”可知，墙变成围栏，围栏甚至都消失了，则第三段应指墙不再被需要了。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It is reported that some new universities have no boundary walls”及全段介绍可知，该段介绍了一些大学没有边界墙可能会带来的好处，选项B“建造没有围墙的校园是另一个例子”符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They worry that it may bring danger to the school safety and bother the students and staff members there as they can’t focus their attention.”可知，无墙校园可能会带来危险；又根据“Perhaps the open society and wall-less campuses can encourage unexpected creative ideas.”可知，无墙校园鼓励学生有创造性；再根据“Without physical walls, maybe there are no boundaries in academics ”可知，无墙校园允许知识和想法能自由流动，则②③④表述正确。故选B。 【40题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Tearing down the walls in our minds is more important. An open ‘no-wall’ attitude is indeed a trend of the future.”可知，作者认为推倒心中的墙很重要。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共35分) 五、词与短语填空 (共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 仔细阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语义和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) living / achieved / caused / unless / because / fly / arrived Have you heard of dodos?

The book is about a group of five ___48___ (child) who go on a journey to follow the Star of Wonder.

Bruff’s story reminds us that no matter ____55____ happens in our daily life, we should face challenges bravely and keep fighting. Only in this way can we have what we really want. 【答案】46. where 47. tells 48. children 49. their 50. to work 51. meeting 52. unluckily 53. for 54. difficulties 55. what 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国作家丽贝卡·德怀特·布鲁夫的新书《奇迹之星》的故事。 【46题详解】 句意：你想知道它来自哪里吗？此处需要填入一个从属连词，来引导一个宾语从句，此处的意思是“哪里”，因此需要填入从属连词where。故填where。 【47题详解】 句意：美国作家Rebecca Dwight Bruff在她的最新著作《奇迹之星》中讲述了这样一个故事，关于想象力、好奇心、勇气和伟大的爱。此句是在陈述一个事实，因此时态用一般现在时，又因为关系词which指代的是“her newest book Stars of Wonder”，为单数，因此谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，故填tells。 【48题详解】 句意：这本书是关于一群五个孩子，他们开始了一段追寻奇迹之星的旅程。five修饰可数名词复数形式children，意为“孩子”。故填children。 【49题详解】 句意：三个王子Jonah, Nathan和Jacob和他们的妹妹Phocbe以及他们的朋友Sumar一起加入了。此处说的是他们的朋友，应该用形容词性物主代词their，意为“他们的”，故填their。 【50题详解】 句意：面对这些挑战，孩子们学会了如何合作。分析句子结构可知，此处需要用“疑问词how+to do”的结构，即需要用动词work的不定式形式to work，故填to work。 【51题详解】 句意：例如，在遇到一些野生动物后，这群人被迫分开。“after”为介词，后接动词时，需要用动词的动名词形式，故填meeting。 【52题详解】 句意：然而，不幸的是，他们没有食物了。分析句子结构可知，此处需要填入一个副词，修饰整个句子，根据“they run out of food”，可知此处是指“不幸的是”，因此需要填入形容词lucky的否定形式的副词，故填unluckily。 【53题详解】 句意：所以他们决定一组去寻找食物，另一组继续旅程。“look for”意为“寻找”，故填for。 【54题详解】 句意：为了亲眼看到这颗星星，孩子们必须克服许多困难。many修饰可数名词复数，因此需要用difficult的名词的复数形式difficulties，故填difficulties. 【55题详解】 句意：Bruff的故事提醒我们，无论我们在日常生活中发生了什么，我们都应该勇敢地面对挑战，继续战斗。此处需要填入一个从属连词，来引导一个宾语从句，且表达的意思是“什么”，因此需要填入从属连词what，故填what。 七、书面表达 (本大题 20 分) 56. 假设你是李辉，你校英语报“Protect the Environment”专栏面向全校学生征集主题海报及宣传稿，需要用英语向大家宣讲环保的意义及作为中学生怎样保护环境。请你根据以下海报提示，以“Save the Earth: Let’s Do Our Part!”为题，用英语给专栏写一篇稿件。 要求： 1. 包括提示中所有的写作要点； 2. 条理清楚，行文连贯，可适当发挥 3. 稿件中不能出现真实的人名和地名等信息； 4. 词数：100词左右。题目和开头已给出，不计入总词数。 内容提示： 1.

Protecting the environment is very important because it keeps our planet healthy and safe. If we don’t take care of the Earth, we will face problems like pollution, climate change, and the loss of natural resources. As a middle school student, I can do many things to help. For example, I can save water by turning off the tap when I brush my teeth. I can also recycle paper, plastic and glass to reduce waste. Another way is to use public transportation or ride a bike instead of asking for a car ride. To encourage more people to join in, we can organize clean-up activities in our community or school. We can also share information about environmental protection on social media to raise awareness. Let’s work together to protect our Earth. Every small action counts, and if everyone does their part, we can make a big difference! 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文，围绕“环保”这一主题展开； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，包括环保的重要性、中学生如何保护环境、如何鼓励更多人参与环保等，考生需注意不要遗漏这些信息，并适当增加细节。 [写作步骤] 第一步，表明写作意图。开头直接点明环保的重要性； 第二步，具体阐述写作内容。详细介绍中学生可以采取的环保行动，以及如何鼓励更多人参与环保； 第三步，书写结语。呼吁大家共同努力，保护地球。 [亮点词汇] ①protect the environment保护环境 ②save water节约用水 ③reduce waste减少浪费 ④raise awareness提高意识 ⑤make a difference产生影响 [高分句型] ①If we don’t take care of the Earth, we will face problems like pollution, climate change, and the loss of natural resources.

And it was popular in 1960s and 1970s. Players hold a tool to guide the hoop (环), rolling it along the ground and trying to keep the hoop upright for long periods of time. This activity not only exercises the body but also develops focus and patience, making it a great way to stay active and have fun. ________ It is an old Chinese game believed to be over 4, 000 years old. Early tops were made of different materials: wood, bamboo, nuts or stones. A whip, which is a length of string (绳子), was used to spin (转动) around the top to increase its speed. As time passed, this game developed into a popular children’s game, and later a competitive sport. It’s a fun activity that can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors. Kicking (踢) the Shuttlecock The “shuttlecock” is a feather-covered toy that has been enjoyed by Chinese people for centuries (百年). There are different styles of kicking the shuttlecock. With one leg fixed on the ground, the shuttlecock is kicked by the ankle (脚踝) of the other. Kicking the shuttlecock back and forth between two people is another style. The increasingly difficult levels of kicking have made it always popular among Chinese people. 26. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A. SCIENCE. B. GAMES. C. ART. D. INVENTIONS. 27. It’s clear that iron hoop rolling ________. A. needs people’s patience B. only challenges balance C. can’t build up the body D. became popular centuries ago 28.

Children are catching shuttlecocks with their hands. 30. All the games above ________. A. must be played with others B. must be played in an open air C. might make people think about the past D. might stand for modern science and technology B Lu Junling, a security guard (保安) from Hebei University, became popular on the Internet. As a normal person, though Lu Junling is more than 50 years old, he memorizes English vocabulary for CBT-6 under the street lights every day just to improve himself. When he is free, he also writes novels and sings operas. That’s not all. Painting, music, kung fu, ancient poems, etc. are all his hobbies. So a number of people call him “treasure security guard”. Lu Junling said, “If I want to become an artist, I will always work hard for my dream!” Mr. Lu’s words live in many people’s memory. In fact, there are many dream runners in university. They not only love their jobs, but also keep on learning. For example. Xing Guoqin, a cleaning lady from Tsinghua University, started to learn piano by self-learning at the age of 55. What a great surprise! “Your hobbies have nothing to do with your age. It’s never too late to do things you love,” she said. A professional cook in a college dining hall asked for leave from work to be a judge for the Winter Olympic Games, which has surprised many people. And they couldn’t help saying, “He is too powerful to hide!” Though they all just have ordinary jobs, they never forget to chase their dreams. Their positive attitude and their brave efforts have amazed the whole world. They show their own strength to the world, “Life has no limits. You can do anything if you have a strong will. Whoever has a drear is fantastic!” 31. Many people call Lu Junling “treasure security guard” because ________. A. he writes operas and sings English songs B. he is a great artist with his hard work C. he has many hobbies, and he works hard for them D. he keeps memorizing English words every day 32. What does the underlined word “chase” in the last paragraph mean? A. run after B. look after C. give up D. go through 33. Xing Guoqin learned to play the piano by ________. A. having the teacher’s help B. having the piano lessons C learning by herself D. learning from the teacher 34. Which is the following is not true according to the passage? A. They all have ordinary jobs and they like hiding their power. B. These three people are working in different universities. C. They all have a strong will and show their strength to the world. D. Many people can’t believe the judge for the Winter Olympics is a cook. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Future Planners. B. Dream Followers. C. Different Lives. D. Wonderful Jobs. C Walls are no stranger to the Chinese people in the long history. They built yard walls to keep thieves and animals away from their villages; they built city walls to protect people from enemies; also, they built the Great Wall to safeguard their country. The “wall culture” continues for centuries, and lots of money has been spent to build walls around housing areas, campuses (校园), or even a public park. But with the development of the society and a safer environment, people realize that building walls may waste money and space. Walls around some community squares and public parks in cities have given way to fences (围栏). In some cities, even the fences have disappeared. Several years ago, Beijing took the lead in taking down the fences in free public parks. People were worried that the fruits and plants would be stolen overnight and the grass could be destroyed within a few days. But that didn’t happen, showing that people know what is good and what is not for both the city and themselves. ★ It is reported that some new universities have no boundary walls (边界墙) now. Without physical walls, maybe there are no boundaries in academics (学术), either. Also, the wall-less campuses are believed to be friendly to a more open society. Students who have been separated from the realities (现实) of the world need to step out of their “ivory towers” and experience the society from different angles. Perhaps the open society and wall-less campuses can encourage unexpected creative ideas. However, taking down walls in campuses still has a long way to go. Traditional beliefs and habits among people are still strong. Most universities don’t want to take down the boundary walls. They worry that it may bring danger to the school safety and bother the students and staff members there as they can’t focus their attention. Although some efforts to take down physical walls have failed, it doesn’t matter. Tearing down the walls in our minds is more important. An open “no-wall” attitude is indeed a trend (趋势) of the future. 36. Paragraph one mainly talks about ________. A. the history of the wall culture B. types of yard walls C. the importance of the Great Wall D. uses of ancient walls 37. According to paragraph three, people may think some walls in cities ________. A. are no longer needed B. create a sense of community C. keep people free D. protect their homes and themselves 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Many people complain about the walls in parks. B. Building wall-less campuses is another example. C. Walls are harder to be taken down in campuses. D. Life in universities is becoming less colorful. 39. What are the possible results of building wall-less campuses? ① Wasting a lot of money and space. ② Bringing danger to students’ safety. ③ Encouraging students to be more creative. ④ Allowing knowledge and ideas to flow freely. ⑤ Making students more focused on their study. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①④⑤ 40. In the writer’s opinion, ________. A. walls were always a waste of money in history B. people should tear down all the boundary walls C. it is important to tear down the walls in our minds D. people succeeded in tearing down walls in our minds 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共35分) 五、词与短语填空 (共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 仔细阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语义和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) living / achieved / caused / unless / because / fly / arrived Have you heard of dodos?
