Can they do anything special? I believe they can. These days a panda becomes a popular star and helps the zoo where she lives get lots of visitors. This female panda called Yang Yang comes from Vienna Zoo, Austria. Now she has learned to use a brush to create her works of art. People like her paintings so much that 100 of them are waiting online for someone to buy at $580 each. Yang Yang’s paintings will probably help the zoo to make $58,000. With the money, the zoo will have the chance (机会) to publish (出版) a new picture book about the pandas in the zoo. The plan will certainly come true because Yang Yang enjoys painting and can draw more pictures. Two years ago, Yang Yang became a mother of twin pandas. She is a smart mother and learns to draw quickly. Many visitors would like to visit the zoo to see Yang Yang’s wonderful painting shows. They make people think of the first attempts (尝试) of a small child. You never know, with such an amazing talent, this cute animal may be able to become a great artist! 54.

Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing. What is a plant? Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food. How does a plant grow? Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space, but much taller and thinner if it grows in the woods with other trees all around. Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment. 57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. The number of plants. B. Different sizes of plants. C. The importance of plants. D. Planting more trees. 58. What method does the author use to describe the plants in Paragraph 2? A. By comparing. B. By giving examples. C. By giving numbers. D. By telling stories. 59. What can we know about plants from the passage? A. Flowers and seeds are the most important parts of a plant. B. Plants and animals grow in the same way. C. Only environment controls the plants’ growth. D. It’s important for the plants to get used to the environment. 60. What is the best title for this passage? A. Different Kinds of Plants B. The Life of Plants C. Plants and Animals D. All About Plants 【答案】57. D 58. A 59. D 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物的世界。包括它的特点及生长方式。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing.”可知，第一段提到了植物的数量，植物的不同大小以及植物的重要性，没有提及种更多的树。故选D。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. ... Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用).”可知，作者是通过将植物与动物进行对比来描述植物的。故选A。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment.”可知，植物去适应环境是很重要的。故选D。 【60题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了植物的世界，包括它的特点及生长方式。因此D选项“关于植物的一切”符合最佳标题。故选D。 D Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story.

Andy would take out his smartphone, open an App and search for the problem. Answers would soon appear on the screen. Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Andy. They search for information online, use Apps or discuss through social networks like WeChat. “It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor (家庭教师) beside you,” Andy said. “You also learn by seeing how others work out problems.” “It also improves our abilities,” said John, another student. He said it especially works for new types of homework. John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations. “I’m skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office,” John said. However, many students think this trend (趋势) also brings problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. A head teacher in Andy and John’s school, Mr. Li said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control (控制). No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently first, or you won’t make progress (进步). If you don’t have confidence in your self-control, ask your parents for help. 1—2题完成句子,3—5题简略回答问题。 66. Many students do homework with the help of the ________ like Andy. 67.

Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy.”可知许多学生认为这种趋势也带来了问题。有些学生只是不假思索地把答案抄到网上，让他们变得懒惰。故填They think it will bring problems/make students become lazy. 【70题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes. Because I can learn by observing how other people solve problems./No. Because I’m afraid that I will depend on Internet instead of thinking independently.

And now I’m writing to tell you the seasons and weather in Canada. In Canada we have four seasons in a year. But in spring, it is usually cold. It comes in February. We can still go skating in some places. Autumn is warm season and it is the harvest time in Canada. In autumn, Canadians like watching maples (枫叶) in the parks. They are really beautiful. Winter is the coldest season. It is quite cold. There is thick ice on the rivers. Children like going skating there. Summer is cooler than that in China. Early in the morning, it is cold and we usually wear sweater. I have to stop now. Please write back soon. All the best! Yours Helen 51. Why does Helen write the letter to Wang Mei? A. To tell her the seasons and weather in Canada. B. To invite Wang Mei to visit Canada. C. To show sorry for Wang Mei. D. To go skating with Wang Mei in winter. 52. What do Canadians like doing in autumn? A. Planting trees. B. Growing flowers. C. Watching maples. D. Flying kites. 53. In winter, it’s very cold and children like ________ on the river. A. going boating B. going skating C. racing D. swimming B Most people around the world agree that pandas are smart and cute animals. But can they draw? Can they do anything special? I believe they can. These days a panda becomes a popular star and helps the zoo where she lives get lots of visitors. This female panda called Yang Yang comes from Vienna Zoo, Austria. Now she has learned to use a brush to create her works of art. People like her paintings so much that 100 of them are waiting online for someone to buy at $580 each. Yang Yang’s paintings will probably help the zoo to make $58,000. With the money, the zoo will have the chance (机会) to publish (出版) a new picture book about the pandas in the zoo. The plan will certainly come true because Yang Yang enjoys painting and can draw more pictures. Two years ago, Yang Yang became a mother of twin pandas. She is a smart mother and learns to draw quickly. Many visitors would like to visit the zoo to see Yang Yang’s wonderful painting shows. They make people think of the first attempts (尝试) of a small child. You never know, with such an amazing talent, this cute animal may be able to become a great artist! 54. Which of the following is true? A. Yang Yang drew more than 100 pictures. B. Yang Yang comes from America. C. Each of Yang Yang’s paintings online is about $5800. D. Yang Yang has a twin sister. 55. What does the underlined word “They” refer to? A. Yang Yang’s two kids. B. Yang Yang’s painting shows. C. The zoo’s visitors. D. Smart and cute pandas. 56. Where can you probably read this passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a diary. C. In a newspaper. D. In a sports magazine. C Parts of a Plant There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing. What is a plant? Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food. How does a plant grow? Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live.

Ⅸ.任务型阅读（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） What do you do when you come across a problem while doing your homework? Andy would take out his smartphone, open an App and search for the problem. Answers would soon appear on the screen. Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Andy. They search for information online, use Apps or discuss through social networks like WeChat. “It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor (家庭教师) beside you,” Andy said. “You also learn by seeing how others work out problems.” “It also improves our abilities,” said John, another student. He said it especially works for new types of homework. John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations. “I’m skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office,” John said. However, many students think this trend (趋势) also brings problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. A head teacher in Andy and John’s school, Mr. Li said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control (控制). No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently first, or you won’t make progress (进步). If you don’t have confidence in your self-control, ask your parents for help. 1—2题完成句子,3—5题简略回答问题。 66. Many students do homework with the help of the ________ like Andy. 67.
