Durıng the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services (服务) like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price. You may think this kind of journey can only be possible in these years by modern transport. But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organization (机构) providing volunteer work all over the world. In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries in recent years. According to (根据) Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages. Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. They often say to themselves, “Do I need to move to the countryside for a quiet life?” Volunteer travel may help them find out the answer. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives. When more tourists visit the villages, they can get more jobs and make more money. Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences (经历). Why not have a try next time? 29. What do we know from Paragraph 2? A. A couple started VSO in 1958. B. VSO only provides volunteer work in the UK. C. Volunteer travel is impossible without modern transport. D. It was difficult to start a volunteer organization in the 1950s. 30. The underlined words “are attractive to” probably mean ________.

Why does the writer write the passage? A. To introduce a special way of travelling. B. To help people keep away from busy life. C. To advise people to live in the countryside. D. To invite people to travel to foreign countries. 【答案】29. A 30. C 31. D 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了志愿者旅行的起源、发展及其好处。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organizaion (机构) providing volunteer work all over the world.”可知，一对夫妇在1958年创立了VSO。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries in recent years. According to (根据) Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city,”（然而，近年来，更多的人参加了自己国家的志愿者旅行。根据《三联生活周刊》杂志，乡村志愿者旅行对城市居民很有吸引力，）可推知，“are attractive to”意为“对……有吸引力”。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第4段“Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life.”和“What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives.”可知，第四段主要讨论了人们可以从志愿者旅行中获得的好处。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是第1段“Have you ever heard of volunteer travel?”和第5段“Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences (经历).

As the temperatures drop, many people put on qiuku, known as long johns in English, to fight against the cold, and the village becomes busy producing (生产) long johns. The village has been making long johns for more than 40 years. About half of homes in the village do the business (生意) for a living. It provides jobs for over 1,700 people in the village and its neighboring areas. Every morning, the villagers go to the market to collect materials they need and take them home. Each house acts as a small workshop, turning the materials into thermal (保暖的) clothing, pants and underwear. Then they are sold around China and even to countries in Africa. “We can make a pair of long johns in just three minutes, producing 1,300 to 1,400 pairs a day,” said Zhang Feng, a 40-year-old villager whose family has been in the business for 35 years. “The busy season for selling are from August to the Chinese Lunar New Year,” he added. When Zhang was a child, his parents could only make around 20 pairs a day. At that time, they used scissors and an old-style sewing (缝纫) machine to make long johns. Now, with automated (自动化的) sewing machines, people can work much faster than before. Another villager, Shi Hui, has also introduced better machines to help save water and protect the environment. The village is also planning to build a large industrial (工业的) park. In the future, people will see a more modern “qiuku village”. 33. What are long johns? A. Clothes made in Yaojiapo Village. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了山东省泰安市姚家坡村生产秋裤的情况及其发展历程。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“As the temperatures drop, many people put on qiuku, known as long johns in English, to fight against the cold,”（随着气温下降，许多人穿上秋裤，即英文中的long johns，以抵御寒冷，）可知，long johns是可以保暖的衣服。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“About half of homes in the village do the business (生意) for a living.”、“Each house acts as a small workshop, turning the materials into thermal (保暖的) clothing, pants and underwear.”和“Then they are sold around China and even to countries in Africa.”可知，从第二段我们可以知道有多少家庭制作秋裤、村民在哪里制作秋裤以及村民在哪里销售秋裤。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第3段“Now, with automated (自动化的) sewing machines, people can work much faster than before.”（现在，有了自动化的缝纫机，人们可以比以前工作得更快。）可推知，作者在第三段主要讨论了秋裤制作的改进。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“The village is also planning to build a large industrial (工业的) park.”可知，该村的下一个计划是建设一个工业园区。故选B。 D Mrs Rachel Lynde knew everything about Avonlea.

Since then 48. from time to time 49. characters 50. such as 【解析】 46题详解】 句意：报告说这个地区的情况正变得越来越好。根据“in this area is getting better and better”可知，此处使用situation表示“情况；形势”，the situation in this area表示“这个地区的情况”，故填situation。 【47题详解】 句意：从那以后，迈克过着忙碌的生活。根据“Mike has lived a busy life”可知，句子时态是现在完成时，since then表示“从那以后”，常与现在完成时连用，句首单词首字母需大写，故填Since then。 【48题详解】 句意：这家店里的咖啡相当不错。张女士不时地来这里。分析句子可知，句中不缺少成分，此处使用from time to time“不时地；偶尔”，说明张女士来这家店的频率，故填from time to time。 【49题详解】 句意：当孩子们看到他们最喜欢角色时，都开始尖叫起来。根据“their favourite”可知，空处使用名词，character表示“角色”，孩子们看到喜欢的角色会兴奋尖叫，此处不止一个角色，所以用复数形式characters，故填characters。 【50题详解】 句意：《体育世界》提供关于不同运动的最新信息，比如游泳、篮球和足球。根据“swimming, basketball and football”可知，此处是举例说明，such as“例如”，用于列举事物，故填such as。 （B）阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式 Many people often leave their hometowns to work in the cities.

However 60. his 【解析】 【导语】本文主要以张斌为例，讲述了一些离开家乡去城市里工作的人发现家乡发生了很大的变化。 【51题详解】 句意：来自怀化的46岁男子张斌就是这样一个人。此处应用不定冠词表示泛指，且forty-six以辅音音素开头，故填a。 【52题详解】 句意：他在温州的一家鞋厂工作。此句是一般现在时，主语He是第三人称单数，动词用三单，故填works。 【53题详解】 句意：他非常想念他的家乡。此空修饰动词misses，应填副词really，故填really。 【54题详解】 句意：越来越多的家乡比以前发展得快。根据than可知，此空应填比较级，故填faster。 【55题详解】 句意：有许多新的道路和桥。此空与roads构成并列关系，所以此空应填复数形式表泛指，故填bridges。 【56题详解】 句意：这使得乡村和城市之间的旅行更加容易。between…and“在……和……之间”，故填and。 【57题详解】 句意：由于村里修了新路，张斌现在可以开网店卖家乡的美食了。be able to do sth.“能够做某事”，空处应填不定式。故填to open。 【58题详解】 句意：张斌认为家乡的变化很大。此句是一般现在时，主语changes是复数形式，be动词用are，故填are。 【59题详解】 句意：然而，他相信有一件事永远不会改变——那棵可爱的老树。前后两句是转折关系，此空位于句首，且空格后有逗号隔开，应填副词however“然而”，故填However。 【60题详解】 句意：家乡是拥有他最美好的回忆的地方。此空修饰名词memories，应填形容词性物主代词his，故填his。 五、阅读短文，回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Mrs Li is over seventy years old.

Liverpool is a city in the northwest of England. If you want to visit it, I can recommend two places to you. Hill’m Becky, a student from Liverpool Middle School. I want to tell you something about my hometown, Liverpool. The Echo Wheel is a very popular place in Liverpool. I recommend the wheel because from the top of the wheel, you can see parks, museums and shopping centres. You can also see the River Mersey. On a clear day, you can see mountains in Wales. The wheel turns 360° and the ride lasts (持续) about 15 minutes. The ticket prices are €6.5 for kids under 16 and €10 for adults (成人). Sefton Park is in the southeast of Liverpool. The park opened in 1872 and it is one of Liverpool’s largest green areas. I recommend it because it’s the perfect place for a quiet walk or a bike ride. There is a lake in the park. You can go boating. For sporty people, there are areas to play tennis, football and other sports. The park is open 24 hours a day and it’s free to go in. 26. How long does it take to have a ride on the Echo Wheel? A. About 15 minutes. B. About 25 minutes. C. About 30 minutes. D. About one hour. 27. What is in Sefton Park? ①a lake ②a museum ③sports areas ④a mountain A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ②④ 28. What do the Echo Wheel and Sefton Park have in common (共有的)? A. People can enter both of them for free. B. Both of them are open 24 hours a day. C. People can enjoy wonderful views there. D. Both of them have a history of over 100 years. B Have you ever heard of volunteer travel? Durıng the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services (服务) like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price. You may think this kind of journey can only be possible in these years by modern transport. But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organization (机构) providing volunteer work all over the world. In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries in recent years. According to (根据) Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages. Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. They often say to themselves, “Do I need to move to the countryside for a quiet life?” Volunteer travel may help them find out the answer. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives. When more tourists visit the villages, they can get more jobs and make more money. Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences (经历). Why not have a try next time? 29 What do we know from Paragraph 2? A. A couple started VSO in 1958. B. VSO only provides volunteer work in the UK. C. Volunteer travel is impossible without modern transport. D. It was difficult to start a volunteer organization in the 1950s. 30. The underlined words “are attractive to” probably mean ________. A. are bad for B. are short of C. are popular with D. are famous for 31. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______. A. what people like to do while travelling B. how people do volunteer work while travelling C. what problems people face during volunteer travel D. what benefits (好处) people can get from volunteer travel 32. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To introduce a special way of travelling. B. To help people keep away from busy life. C. To advise people to live in the countryside. D. To invite people to travel to foreign countries. C Yaojiapo Village is in Tai’an, Shandong, and it is also called the “qiuku village”. As the temperatures drop, many people put on qiuku, known as long johns in English, to fight against the cold, and the village becomes busy producing (生产) long johns. The village has been making long johns for more than 40 years. About half of homes in the village do the business (生意) for a living. It provides jobs for over 1,700 people in the village and its neighboring areas. Every morning, the villagers go to the market to collect materials they need and take them home. Each house acts as a small workshop, turning the materials into thermal (保暖的) clothing, pants and underwear. Then they are sold around China and even to countries in Africa. “We can make a pair of long johns in just three minutes, producing 1,300 to 1,400 pairs a day,” said Zhang Feng, a 40-year-old villager whose family has been in the business for 35 years. “The busy season for selling are from August to the Chinese Lunar New Year,” he added. When Zhang was a child, his parents could only make around 20 pairs a day. At that time, they used scissors and an old-style sewing (缝纫) machine to make long johns. Now, with automated (自动化的) sewing machines, people can work much faster than before. Another villager, Shi Hui, has also introduced better machines to help save water and protect the environment. The village is also planning to build a large industrial (工业的) park. In the future, people will see a more modern “qiuku village”. 33. What are long johns? A. Clothes made in Yaojiapo Village. B. Clothes made by a man named John C. Clothes that can make people cool. D. Clothes that can keep people warm. 34. From the second paragraph, we can know that ______. ①how many homes make long johns ②how many people live in the village ③where the villagers make long johns ④where the villagers sell their long johns A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 35. What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 3? A. The best time to sell long johns. B. Improvements in long johns making. C. The history of Zhang’s family business. D. Different machines for long johns making. 36. What’s the village’s next plan? A. To open a big factory. B. To build an industrial park. C. To do business with foreign countries. D. To introduce greener machines. D Mrs Rachel Lynde knew everything about Avonlea. She lived in a part of Avonlea called Lynde’s Hollow. She liked to sit at her window and watch people coming in and out. Today, she was very curious (好奇的) about her neighbour Matthew. He was dressed in his best clothes and he was driving his horse and buggy past her house. “Where is Matthew going? Maybe I can go to ask Marilla,” Mrs Lynde thought. Marilla was Matthew’s sister. They lived together at Green Gables. Green Gables was a big house. Mrs Lynde knocked on the kitchen door and went into the house. The kitchen was very tidy. Marilla was a tall, thin woman with dark hair, She was sitting on her chair, knitting (编织). The table behind her was set for supper. There were three plates on the table. Mrs Lynde was very confiused (困惑的). “Good evening, my dear friend,” Marilla said. “Please sit down. How is your family?” “We’re all quite well,” Mrs Lynde said. “I was kind of afraid you weren’t, though, when I saw Matthew leaving today. I thought maybe he was going for a doctor.” “No. He went to Bright River. We plan to adopt (收养) a little boy from an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nova Scotia, He’s coming on the train tonight,” Marilla said. Mrs Lynde couldn’t believe her ears. After a while, she asked, “Are you serious, Marilla?” “Yes, of course,” Marilla replied. “We thought about it for a long time. One day before Christmas, Mrs Alexander Spencer came and told us that she would go to the orphanage to adopt a little girl in spring. Matthew is getting older, After thinking twice, Matthew and I decided to adopt a boy. We asked Mrs Alexander Spencer to help us adopt a smart boy about ten years old when she went to the orphanage. We will give the boy a good home and schooling. Today, we got a telegram (电报): The young boy is coming on the five thirty train. So, Matthew went to the train station at Bright River to meet him.” —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 37. What can we learn about Mrs Lynde? A. She had endless questions about herself B.
