Material 1:
For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from ASAP Science says otherwise.
It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol (皮质醇). Cortisol helps us think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: Our bodies will make less cortisol, and the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee.
Then, when is the best time to have coffee? When the cortisol levels are going down? The report says, Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
Material 2:
Four people read the passage and wrote what they thought about it.
28. What does it mean when someone thinks “otherwise” about something?
A. They are serious about it. B. They have no idea about it.
C. They think differently about it. D. They do not think it is a problem.
29. The picture below shows how the cortisol levels rise and fall during the day. From Material 1, which is a good time for coffee?
30. What did the four people think about Material 1?
A. They wanted to try what it said. B. They were sad about what it said.
C. They did not agree with what it said. D. They were not surprised at what it said.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了喝咖啡的时间。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“But a report from ASAP Science says otherwise.”可知,but表示转折,即报告说并非如此,由此可知,“otherwise”指“有不同的看法”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.”可知,如果你想喝咖啡,在早上8点到9点、中午到下午1点以及下午5点半到6点半之间这些时间之后享受它。D项表示下午2 点,皮质醇正在下降,符合材料1的说法。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据四个人的观点可知,他们都没有提到具体的喝咖啡的时间,而且表达的意思是自己想什么时候喝就什么时候喝,因此他们不同意材料1的说法。故选C。
(C)
From the balcony of our tenth-floor flat, I searched the sky hoping to see a shooting star (流星).
“Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something,” Grandma put her arms around me and sang softly. The common stars are for little wishes—everyday wishes—like getting more cream on your cupcake. But the shooting star is different.
“Shooting stars are lucky,” Grandma said. So I kept a special wish ready—ready for a shooting star to catch my wish in its tail and dance across the sky.
I rested deeper in her arms hoping for a few more minutes of her warmth as much as I hoped to see a shooting star.
“Tomorrow can’t come if you don’t dream tonight.” She kissed my hair. I didn’t remember my dreams when I woke up, but sure enough it was a new day. Grandma was singing softly in the kitchen. A little song was always good for something. I smelt buttermilk biscuits! Buttermilk biscuits were Saturday biscuits, but today was Wednesday. She gave me two. Then it was time for school.
On the third floor, the lift (电梯) suddenly stopped and went dark. My heart beat so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell.
“Power is down,” called Mr. Simon from above us.
Grandma took my hands, and we sang together in the dark lift.
Before long, Mr. Simon helped us out. Grandma took my hand, and we walked down the stairs to the street as if nothing happened.
The power was still off when I came home. After dinner and homework, we took biscuits and went to the balcony and watched day turn to evening. Lights came from far away, but it was dark here.
Flash! A light shot across the sky—too sudden to seem real. Like magic, I felt my wish holding tight to the tail of that shooting star, dancing across the sky to our songs.

A. We should enjoy everything we meet.
B. We can do nothing if we don’t have power.
C. We can call shooting stars by singing songs.
D. We need to have hope even if life isn’t smooth.

【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something,”可知,祖母说星星怕城市灯光,唱首小曲总会有用,这里是祖母暗示到睡觉时间了,因为只有睡觉才可能在梦中许愿等后续情节。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章中作者遇到电梯停电等不顺情况,但祖母用歌声陪伴“我”,给“我”力量,最后“我”仿佛看到流星,体现出即使生活不顺也要心怀希望。故选D。
(D)
Every summer, about three billion birds migrate (迁徙) from North Africa to Europe and Asia. In winter, they return to Africa. As they travel from one place to another, they use the sun, stars, smells and landforms (地形) to find the way.
The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals. The main danger to the birds comes from hunters all over the Mediterranean (地中海地区). Millions of migratory birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird population is falling.
In countries along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally (非法地) trapped or killed. Besides traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. They make bird sounds to attract the birds. Some hunters also use nets to catch birds as they fly close to the sea. “There are no birds,” said one local man. “We walk for hours without seeing any. It’s really scary.”
Birds are in danger, and many countries are working to solve this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled—the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year. What’s more, many nature-protection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed. This has been successful in many places. For example, Sicily, an island of Italy, was once a place where illegal bird hunting was common. Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, birdwatching is becoming popular there.
Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. “Hunting bans (禁令) are working,” said Martin Schneider Jacoby, a bird scientist. “But there is still more to do. We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the number of birds will increase. There’s a long way to go, but there is hope.”
34. The underlined word “poses” probably means “________” in Paragraph 2.
A. connects B. compares C. causes D. cures
35. What change has taken place in Sicily?
A. Bird hunting is hardly seen in Sicily.
B. Some rare birds can be seen in Sicily.
C. Hunters try to attract more birds to the area.
D. The weather has become more pleasant in the area.
36. Which of the following would Martin Schneider Jacoby agree with the most?
A. There should be more laws to protect baby birds.
B. It’s possible that the bird population may continue to fall.
C. More countries need to stop hunting to increase the bird population.
D. The only way to increase the bird population is to allow limited hunting.
37. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. several problems caused by migratory birds
B. why migratory birds are hunted in the world
C. how tourism causes a drop in migratory bird population
D. the situation of migratory birds and the efforts to protect them
【答案】34. C 35. A 36. C 37. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了候鸟迁徙面临的威胁(尤其是地中海地区的非法捕猎)以及各国为保护候鸟采取的措施。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals.”可知,每年两次的迁徙并非对这些鸟类构成最大威胁的行为,poses与causes“引起”意思相近。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据“For example, Sicily, an island of Italy, was once a place where illegal bird hunting was common. Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting...”可知,非法捕猎现象几乎消失。故选A。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据“We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the number of birds will increase. There’s a long way to go, but there is hope.”可知,Martin Schneider Jacoby认为更多的国家需要停止狩猎以增加鸟类数量。故选C。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“The main danger to the birds comes from hunters all over the Mediterranean (地中海地区). Millions of migratory birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird population is falling.”和“Hunting bans (禁令) are working”并结合全文可知,本文主要介绍了候鸟的现状和保护候鸟措施。故选D。

【答案】common
【解析】

【详解】句意:鲍勃·迪伦在七十多岁的时候获得了诺贝尔文学奖。根据“in his…”以及提示词可知,此处指“在七十多岁的时候”,“in one’s+基数词复数”表示“在某人几十岁时”,空处应用seventies。故填seventies。
五、动词填空
用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。
48. Children from Malan Village ________ (encourage) by Deng Xiaolan and stepped out of their hometown.
【答案】were encouraged
【解析】
【详解】句意:马兰村的孩子们受到邓小岚的鼓励,走出了家乡。Children from Malan Village和Deng Xiaolan是被动关系,即孩子受到邓小岚的鼓舞,空格处需用被动语态;由句中并列的谓语动词stepped可知,句子时态是一般过去时。一般过去时的被动语态结构为“was/were+过去分词”,Children是复数,be动词用were,encourage的过去分词是encouraged。故填were encouraged。
49. You don’t have to describe her, because I ________ (meet) her several times.
【答案】have met
【解析】
【详解】句意:你不必描述她,因为我已经见过她几次了。根据句意可知,后半句是前半句的原因,强调过去的经历对现在造成的影响,即因为已经见过她几次,所以现在不需要别人描述,可知题干为现在完成时。现在完成时的结构是“have/has+过去分词”,主语I是第一人称,助动词用have,meet的过去分词是met,故填have met。
50. She got her mother ________ (accept) her idea by writing a note.
【答案】to accept
【解析】
【详解】句意:她通过写纸条让母亲接受了她的想法。根据句子结构,此处需要用动词不定式“get sb to do”形式,表示“使某人做某事”。动词“accept”的不定式形式是“to accept”。故填to accept。

【答案】lay
【解析】
【详解】句意:最后,他们累得连可怜的小腿也无法再支撑下去,于是他们躺在一棵树下睡着了。根据句子中的“they were so tired that their poor little legs couldn’t carry them any farther”可知,空处应填动词的过去式,表示过去发生的动作。lie的过去式是lay,表示“躺下”。故填lay。
52. The closer we are with the screens, the farther we ________ (be) with people in our real life.
【答案】will be
【解析】

53. This kind of clothing material, which feels soft, ________ (catch) fire easily.

【解析】

54. I ________ (introduce) myself to the new class when Tom rushed into the classroom and stopped me.
【答案】was introducing
【解析】
【详解】句意:我正在向新班级介绍自己,这时汤姆冲进教室打断了我。when引导时间状语从句,表示一个动作正在进行,另一个动作突然发生。rushed和stopped均为动词过去式,主句需用过去进行时。故填was introducing。
55 What fun they had ________ (climb) to the top of the mountain at last!
【答案】climbing
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们最终爬到了山顶,这是多么有趣啊!根据“What fun they had”可知,“have fun”是固定短语,后接动名词形式,表示“做某事很开心”。此处需填入“climb”的动名词形式climbing。故填climbing。

六、阅读表达

Roberta woke up early the next morning. Then she woke up Phyllis and Peter. “We’re in the new house. There are no servants here. We must help Mother now,” whispered Roberta.
Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire.
“Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.”
When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out.
“Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.”
She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door.
“Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said.
Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie.
“Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!”
It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry.
“It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie.
When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place.
Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.”
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing.
“Let’s go down to the railway,” cried Roberta.
“Listen!” said Phyllis. “I think I can hear a train.”
Peter asked, “Do you think it’s going to London?”
“Father is in London,” replied Roberta. “Let’s go to the station and find out.”

【答案】例文
A well-known proverb goes that “The rose’s in her hand, the flavor in mine”, which I think means helping others is helping ourselves.
I can well remember that three weeks ago my classmates and I went to help an old couple do some housework. After arriving, we helped wash the windows and mop the floor. We also sang and danced to cheer up the old couple. They felt very happy. We were also very happy though we felt a little tired. Later, our teacher praised us for our good deeds.
In my opinion, helping others not only benefits the receiver but also the giver. One should always be ready to help others.

Material 1:
For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from ASAP Science says otherwise.
It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol (皮质醇). Cortisol helps us think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: Our bodies will make less cortisol, and the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee.
Then, when is the best time to have coffee? When the cortisol levels are going down? The report says, Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
Material 2:
Four people read the passage and wrote what they thought about it.
28. What does it mean when someone thinks “otherwise” about something?
A. They are serious about it. B. They have no idea about it.
C. They think differently about it. D. They do not think it is a problem.
29. The picture below shows how the cortisol levels rise and fall during the day. From Material 1, which is a good time for coffee?
30. What did the four people think about Material 1?
A. They wanted to try what it said. B. They were sad about what it said.
C. They did not agree with what it said. D. They were not surprised at what it said.
(C)
From the balcony of our tenth-floor flat, I searched the sky hoping to see a shooting star (流星).
“Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something,” Grandma put her arms around me and sang softly. The common stars are for little wishes—everyday wishes—like getting more cream on your cupcake. But the shooting star is different.
“Shooting stars are lucky,” Grandma said. So I kept a special wish ready—ready for a shooting star to catch my wish in its tail and dance across the sky.
I rested deeper in her arms hoping for a few more minutes of her warmth as much as I hoped to see a shooting star.
“Tomorrow can’t come if you don’t dream tonight.” She kissed my hair. I didn’t remember my dreams when I woke up, but sure enough it was a new day. Grandma was singing softly in the kitchen. A little song was always good for something. I smelt buttermilk biscuits! Buttermilk biscuits were Saturday biscuits, but today was Wednesday. She gave me two. Then it was time for school.
On the third floor, the lift (电梯) suddenly stopped and went dark. My heart beat so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell.
“Power is down,” called Mr. Simon from above us.
Grandma took my hands, and we sang together in the dark lift.
Before long, Mr. Simon helped us out. Grandma took my hand, and we walked down the stairs to the street as if nothing happened.
The power was still off when I came home. After dinner and homework, we took biscuits and went to the balcony and watched day turn to evening. Lights came from far away, but it was dark here.
Flash! A light shot across the sky—too sudden to seem real. Like magic, I felt my wish holding tight to the tail of that shooting star, dancing across the sky to our songs.
31. What part of the story is Paragraph 1?
A. The background. B. The development.
C The climax (most exciting part). D. The ending.
32. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 5?

C. There will be shooting stars tomorrow. D. Remember the dream till tomorrow.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We should enjoy everything we meet.
B. We can do nothing if we don’t have power.
C. We can call shooting stars by singing songs.
D. We need to have hope even if life isn’t smooth.
(D)
Every summer, about three billion birds migrate (迁徙) from North Africa to Europe and Asia. In winter, they return to Africa. As they travel from one place to another, they use the sun, stars, smells and landforms (地形) to find the way.
The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals. The main danger to the birds comes from hunters all over the Mediterranean (地中海地区). Millions of migratory birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird population is falling.
In countries along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally (非法地) trapped or killed. Besides traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. They make bird sounds to attract the birds. Some hunters also use nets to catch birds as they fly close to the sea. “There are no birds,” said one local man. “We walk for hours without seeing any. It’s really scary.”
Birds are in danger, and many countries are working to solve this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled—the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year. What’s more, many nature-protection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed. This has been successful in many places. For example, Sicily, an island of Italy, was once a place where illegal bird hunting was common. Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, birdwatching is becoming popular there.
Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. “Hunting bans (禁令) are working,” said Martin Schneider Jacoby, a bird scientist. “But there is still more to do. We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the number of birds will increase. There’s a long way to go, but there is hope.”
34. The underlined word “poses” probably means “________” in Paragraph 2.
A. connects B. compares C. causes D. cures
35. What change has taken place in Sicily?
A. Bird hunting is hardly seen in Sicily.
B. Some rare birds can be seen in Sicily.
C. Hunters try to attract more birds to the area.
D. The weather has become more pleasant in the area.
36. Which of the following would Martin Schneider Jacoby agree with the most?
A. There should be more laws to protect baby birds.
B. It’s possible that the bird population may continue to fall.
C. More countries need to stop hunting to increase the bird population.
D. The only way to increase the bird population is to allow limited hunting.
37. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. several problems caused by migratory birds
B. why migratory birds are hunted in the world
C. how tourism causes a drop in migratory bird population
D. the situation of migratory birds and the efforts to protect them
