About a quarter of all ocean life depends on coral reefs at some point in their life. However, this year, high sea-surface temperatures have killed a large number of coral reefs around the world. In Dapeng Bay, the development of coral reefs is not satisfactory. Compared with healthy reefs, the ones in Dapeng Bay show big differences. First, healthy reefs have small areas which are home to sea creatures, while unhealthy reefs are covered by sea plants. Second, they make different sounds. Healthy reefs with plenty of sea creatures produce many kinds of sounds, like a band playing music pieces in the ocean. However, broken reefs with fewer kinds of sea creatures are much quieter. They can cause whales to lose direction and even swim to the coast. The recent whale strandings (搁浅) in Dapeng Bay are probably related to the state of coral reefs. Unfriendly environmental activities do harm to the reefs and break the food web, changing the whales’ way of living. Water with high nutrient (营养) levels and city lighting have also made the whales swim closer to the coast. The beautiful coral reefs are valuable for supporting ocean life. ... 16. What have led to the death of coral reefs this year? A. Ocean animals. B. About a quarter of all ocean life. C. Sea creatures. D. High sea-surface temperatures. 17. What does the underlined word “ones” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Coral Reefs. B. Sea plants. C. Music pieces. D. Small areas. 18. What can we learn about unhealthy coral reefs? A. They make louder sounds. B. More whales swim around them. C. Sea plants grow all over them. D. They help whales find their way. 19. What may the writer continue to talk about in the last paragraph? A. Ways to stop whale stranding. B. Actions to protect the coral reefs. C. Solutions to the city lighting problem. D. Reasons for high sea-surface temperatures. 20. Where can we probably find the passage? A. In a film review. B. In a science report. C. In a travel guide. D. In an art magazine. B I was on my way to visit my sister Mandi, who was badly ill in hospital. It was winter. The once colorful leaves had all fallen from the trees, leaving them black and bare. Just like what Mandi was going through, the joyful things in her life were dropping away one by one. “Are we almost there, grandma?” I’d nearly forgotten my young granddaughter was in the car with me. She’d been sitting quietly in her car seat, watching the scenery go by. I needed to focus on something more positive, at least for her sake. “Thank you, God, for this beautiful day,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. Calling it beautiful was a stretch but at least it wasn’t raining. “I see a pretty blue sky” Jocelyn said. “And the yellow sun. And the chocolate trees!” “Chocolate trees?” “Yes,” Jocelyn said. She seemed surprised I didn’t know exactly what she meant. “When the trees don’t have their leaves on them, they look like chocolate.” Chocolate? I thought. Well, she’s not wrong. They are deep brown, like dark chocolate. I was still thinking about those trees when we got to Mandi’s, so I told her about it as soon as we walked in the door. “I love that!” Mandi said, a glimmer of light in her eyes. She looked at the trees outside the window, “I used to see something bare and ugly out there, but our Jocelyn sees chocolate trees. We should all be like that, shouldn’t we? We should learn to look for the chocolate.” “It would certainly make the world a lot sweeter.” I smiled. 21 The writer and Jocelyn were on their way to ________. A. see a doctor B. enjoy the scenery C. visit Mandi D. buy chocolate 22. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the story? A. Sad. B. Joyful. C. Cheerful. D. Angry. 23. Which of the following could be the illustration (插图) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 24. What does the underlined words “the chocolate” refer to? A. Strong will to live. B. The sweet moments in our life. C. The beauty in dark times. D. Love among family members. 25. What can we learn from this story? A. The color of spring is flowers; the color of winter is in our imagination. B. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden. C. When the world goes against you, a friend and chocolate is all you need. D. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. C ①Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples: ②If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). .Red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear.In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful. ③In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals. ④Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality. ⑤In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation. 26. What does the word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. most people’s favorite color B. different cultures C. products D. people’s feeling about colors in their culture. 27. In which country does the color yellow mean death? A. Britain B. Egypt. C. China. D. All eastern countries. 28. Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage? A. To introduce different colors in the world. B. To choose a favorite color for readers. C. To explain different cultures have different meanings to the same color. D. To help advertisers decide the right colors in their advertisements. 29. Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Colors in Different Careers B. The Meaning of Colors C. Colors Between China and Britain D. Colors Around the World 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Du Fu, one of the greatest poets in China, is familiar to most of us. ___31___ Recently, the BBC’s one-hour documentary Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet is spreading through the Internet.

But do you know about “junk sleep”? A British survey shows that there are many electronic products in teenagers’ bedrooms. They are influencing teenagers’ sleep badly. The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It is found that 50% of them got just 4 to 7 hours’ sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours. Almost 25% of the kids said they often fell asleep while they were watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products. “This is very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor (教授), “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality (质量) of the sleep is low, too.” The survey found that quite a few of the kids felt tired each day because of the junk sleep, especially girls between 13 and 16. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, music player or TV in their bedrooms. And lots of them even have all the three. Dr. Chris suggested that parents should help their children keep away from electronic products, and that teenagers should spend less time on the electronic products. 46.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了鲁班发明锯子的过程。 【1题详解】 句意：一天，他接到一个似乎很难完成的任务——收集大量木材并建造一座宫殿。 which引导定语从句时，先行词指物；when引导定语从句时，先行词是表示时间的名词；who引导定语从句时，先行词指人； where引导定语从句时，先行词是表示地点的名词。分析“he was given a task...seemed difficult to complete”可知，空格处是定语从句的引导词，在从句中作主语，先行词是task，指物，结合选项，which符合语境。故选A。 【2题详解】 句意：开始的时候，鲁班和他的手下带着斧子去山上砍又高又粗的树。 they他们（人称代词的主格）；their他们的（形容词性物主代词）；them他们（人称代词的宾格）；themselves他们自己（反身代词）。空后的axes是名词，形容词性物主代词后接名词。故选B。 【3题详解】 句意：然而，只用斧子很难完成这个任务。 do做；doing做（现在分词）；done做（过去分词）；to do做（动词不定式）。句型“it was+adj.+to do sth.”意为“做某事是……的”，所以空格处应用动词不定式。故选D。 【4题详解】 句意：经过几天的努力，鲁班和他的手下遇到了一个关于这个任务的问题。 by通过；in在……里面；to到；with关于。meet a problem with sth.意为“在某方面遇到问题”。故选D。 【5题详解】 句意：他们真的很累，但收集的木材数量远远不够建造宫殿。 and和；or或；but但是；so所以。分析“They were really tired...the amount of the wood collected was far from enough to build the palace.”可知，前后句是转折关系，but“但是”符合语境。故选C。 【6题详解】 句意：鲁班开始变得担心了。 worry担心（动词）；worrying担心（现在分词）；worried担心的（形容词）；worriedly担心地（副词）。became在此处作系动词，其后接形容词worried作表语，形容人。故选C。 【7题详解】 句意：幸运的是，他伸出手抓住了一些草。 reaches伸手（动词第三人称单数形式）；reached伸手（过去式）；will reach将要伸手（一般将来时）；was reaching正在伸手（过去进行时）。根据held可知，时态是一般过去时，动词要用过去式。故选B。 【8题详解】 句意：虽然草伤了他的手，但是鲁班保持沉默，因为他已经陷入了沉思。 If如果；Because因为；Until直到……为止；Although虽然。分析“...the grass hurt his hand, Lu Ban stayed silent”可知，前后句是让步关系，此处应用Although引导此让步状语从句。故选D。 【9题详解】 句意：为什么这草如此锋利？ does做（动词第三人称单数形式）；did做（过去式）；is是；was是（过去式）。此句是直接引语，根据“Why…this grass so sharp?”可知，时态是一般现在时，空后的sharp是形容词，在此句中要与be动词连用，主语this grass表示单数，所以be动词用is。故选C。 【10题详解】 句意：当他看着手上的小伤口时，他仔细地想了想。 care关心（动词原形）；caring关心（现在分词）；careful仔细的（形容词）；carefully仔细地（副词）。分析“He thought about it...”可知，空格处应用副词，修饰动词thought。故选D。 【11题详解】 句意：鲁班检查了草，注意到它的叶子上有许多锋利的小牙齿。 that引导宾语从句时，无意义，在从句中不做成分；what“什么”，引导宾语从句；how“怎样”，引导宾语从句；why“为什么”，引导宾语从句。分析“noticed...its leaves had many little sharp teeth”可知，空格处是宾语从句的引导词，无意义，且在从句中不做成分，因此，应用that引导此宾语从句。故选A。 【12题详解】 句意：他想到了一个主意。 A（不定冠词，表示泛指，用于辅音音素前）；An（不定冠词，表示泛指，用于元音音素前）；The这个，那个（定冠词，表示特指）；/零冠词。此处泛指一个主意，且idea以元音音素开头，所以空格处应用不定冠词An。故选B。 【13题详解】 句意：很快，所有其他工人都学会了使用锯子。 the other（两部分或两者中的）另一；others其他人（其后不接名词）；another（三者或三者以上的）另一个；the others剩下的所有其他人（其后不接名词）。根据“all…workers learnt to use saws.”可知，此处指除鲁班以外的所有其他工人，空后的workers是可数名词的复数形式，“all the other+可数名词复数形式”表示“所有其他的……”。故选A。 【14题详解】 句意：最后，他们可以迅速砍倒大树。 could可以；must必须；should应该；would将要。根据“they…cut down large trees quickly.”可知，此处表示工人使用锯子，可以迅速砍倒大树。故选A。 【15题详解】 句意：在锯子的帮助下，宫殿按时完工了。 completed完成（过去式）；was completed被完成（一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示单数）；has completed已经完成（现在完成时）；were completed被完成（一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示复数）。时态是一般过去时，主语palace和动词complete之间是被动关系，所以此处应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语palace表示单数，故选B。 二、阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分， 满分40分） 第一节（共 15 小题,每小题 2 分，满分30分） 阅读三篇短文，从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are important to sea creatures.

This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples: ②If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). .Red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear.In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful. ③In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals. ④Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality. ⑤In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation. 26. What does the word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. most people’s favorite color B. different cultures C. products D. people’s feeling about colors in their culture. 27. In which country does the color yellow mean death? A. Britain B. Egypt. C.

Colors Between China and Britain D. Colors Around the World 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 29. B 30.

Almost 25% of the kids said they often fell asleep while they were watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products. “This is very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor (教授), “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality (质量) of the sleep is low, too.” The survey found that quite a few of the kids felt tired each day because of the junk sleep, especially girls between 13 and 16. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, music player or TV in their bedrooms. And lots of them even have all the three.
