They are getting more and more popular these years. Now lots of people like to follow them when they are selling something online. However, influencers may not say what they really think about the things that they sell. They are only interested in selling more things to get more money. So, things people get may be different from what they expect. France has made some rules for influencers in the past few months. Influencers need to let people know that they are selling things. They mustn’t sell cigarettes or alcohol. Also, they shouldn’t ask people to join in betting (赌博), such as sports betting. As for makeup, they can use a filter (滤镜) to make things look better if they let people know. There are about 150,000 influencers in France. The rules worry many of them. If they break any of the rules, then they can end up in prison (监狱) for at most two years. They may also pay about 300,000 euros (about 2,300,000 yuan). France is the first European country to have such rules. It wants influencers to stop bringing problems to Internet users, especially the younger ones. 42.

When he returned home for his life, he saw people living a very hard life and their ears were red with cold in the snowing winter. He was very sad and thought of a way to help them drive out the chill. He asked his servants (仆人) to get some mutton (羊肉), hot pepper (辣椒) and medicine. Then, his servants cut them up. After that, wrap them with flour (裹上面粉). After boiling, Zhang gave the food to the people there. By eating this kind of ear-like food, these people’s ears all became better. Later, every Winter Solstice, people cook such kind of food which was called dumplings. Such traditions and customs for the day are different in different areas of China.

Friendships between girls are usually based (基于) on shared feelings and support, but friendships between boys are based on shared activities or interests. A boy is likely to be careful about sharing his feelings with his close friends. But for a girl, she might tell her closest friend about something that has happened in her life right away. Many studies worldwide show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they hesitate before answering, “My best friend? I can’t think about that. I am busy with my homework, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking carefully, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other. We do a lot of things together such as talking and shopping.” We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings. The qualities (质量) that boys and girls consider important in a friend seem to be the same, regardless of (无论) the basis of these friendships. The important thing to remember is that both of them are friendships. We all need friends in our lives. 50. What does the underlined word “hesitate” in Paragraph 2 probably means? A. Being slow to speak. B. Being shy to speak in public. C. Sharing feelings secretly. D. Sharing feelings hurriedly. 51. What do you know about friendships from the passage? A. Boys and girls both make sure what friendships are. B. Friendships are the most important among girls and boys. C. Girls like to share their attitudes to friendships with friends. D. Boys and girls have the same idea on the qualities in a friend. 52. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Teenagers’ friendships. B. Friendships between different people. C. The qualities of friendships. D. Different attitudes towards friendships. 【答案】50 A 51. D 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了青少年的友谊：男生和朋友们分享活动，女生和朋友们分享感受。 【50题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend”可知，很多男孩子不能说出好朋友的名字，所以他们在回答这个问题时会犹豫，会比较慢，故hesitate是缓慢的意思。故选A。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The qualities that boys and girls consider important in a friend seem to be the same, regardless of (无论) the basis of these friendships.”可知，男孩和女孩对于朋友的品质想法是一致的。故选D。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings…We all need friends in our lives.”可知，本文主要介绍了青少年男生和女生不同的友谊特点：男生和朋友们分享活动，而女生和朋友们分享感受。故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Most of you may think of clams (河蚌) as part of a big meal. But these little things can do an important job: testing the cleanness of water, including people’s drinking water. The main water station in Warsaw, Poland, offers water to millions of people there. It uses eight clams to help test the water every day, reported The Economist. Clams are very sensitive (able to find very small changes quickly) to water pollution. If the water is not clean enough, the clams will close their shells (壳). People in the water station connect their shells to a computer system (系统). When four or more clams close their shells at the same time, the workers can get a tip (提示) from the computer quickly. To make sure the clams are always sensitive to the environment, the workers choose some new ones to work for them every three months. “This works well and it helps protect people’s drinking water,” the water station said. 53. What important job can clams do according to the passage? （不超过5个词） __________________________________________ 54. What will the clams do if the water is dirty? （不超过5个词） __________________________________________ 55. Why do the workers choose new clams to work for them sometime? （不超过15个词） __________________________________________ 【答案】53. Test the water cleanness. 54. They’ll close their shells. 55. To make sure the clams are always sensitive. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍河蚌除作为食物外，还能用于检测水质，波兰华沙主要供水站利用八只河蚌检测饮用水，因其对水污染敏感，壳闭合时计算机系统会提示，且每三个月更换新蚌，该方式有助于保障饮用水安全。 【53题详解】 根据文章第一段“But these little things can do an important job: testing the cleanness of water, including people’s drinking water.”可知，河蚌能做的重要工作是检测水的清洁度，故填Test the water cleanness. 【54题详解】 根据第三段“If the water is not clean enough, the clams will close their shells (壳).”可知，如果水不干净，河蚌会合上它们的壳，故填They’ll close their shells. 【55题详解】 根据第四段“To make sure the clams are always sensitive to the environment, the workers choose some new ones to work for them every three months.”可知，工作人员有时选择新的河蚌工作是为了确保河蚌始终对环境敏感，故填To make sure the clams are always sensitive. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ. 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

The activities help children to develop a sense of their own w_______（价值）. 【答案】(w)orth 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些活动帮助孩子们培养对自身价值的认识。根据汉语及首字母提示可知，此处用worth表示“价值”，不可数名词。故填(w)orth。 60.

Then they passed many islands and arrived in Cayo Bariay on 28th October that year. Columbus thought he had got to Asian continent (大陆), so he continued his trip to look for China.

Now lots of people like to follow them when they are selling something online. However, influencers may not say what they really think about the things that they sell. They are only interested in selling more things to get more money. So, things people get may be different from what they expect. France has made some rules for influencers in the past few months. Influencers need to let people know that they are selling things. They mustn’t sell cigarettes or alcohol. Also, they shouldn’t ask people to join in betting (赌博), such as sports betting. As for makeup, they can use a filter (滤镜) to make things look better if they let people know. There are about 150,000 influencers in France. The rules worry many of them. If they break any of the rules, then they can end up in prison (监狱) for at most two years. They may also pay about 300,000 euros (about 2,300,000 yuan). France is the first European country to have such rules. It wants influencers to stop bringing problems to Internet users, especially the younger ones. 42.

D Winter Solstice (冬至) is a very important traditional festival in China. On that day, the Northern part of the world has the shortest daytime and longest nighttime. After the day, the daytime will become longer and longer. Winter Solstice Festival started from Han Dynasty. In Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous doctor called Zhang Zhongjing. He was once an official in Changsha. When he returned home for his life, he saw people living a very hard life and their ears were red with cold in the snowing winter. He was very sad and thought of a way to help them drive out the chill. He asked his servants (仆人) to get some mutton (羊肉), hot pepper (辣椒) and medicine. Then, his servants cut them up. After that, wrap them with flour (裹上面粉). After boiling, Zhang gave the food to the people there. By eating this kind of ear-like food, these people’s ears all became better. Later, every Winter Solstice, people cook such kind of food which was called dumplings. Such traditions and customs for the day are different in different areas of China. In northern part of China, people usually eat dumplings and mutton to celebrate the day. However, in the southern part, tangyuan and noodles are the festival foods. 46. What will the daytime in China be like on Winter Solstice? A. Shortest. B. Longest. C. Hottest. D. Hardest. 47. What do the underlined words “drive out the chill” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A. 辞旧迎新 B. 开车兜风 C. 休息放松 D. 驱除寒意 48. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Changsha was Zhang Zhongjing’s hometown. B. Zhang Zhongjing invented the food dumplings. C. People eat different festival foods in different areas. D. All the people in Han Dynasty lived a hard life. 49. Which might be the the best title of this passage? A. Famous Doctor——Zhang Zhongjing B. Origin (起源) of Dumplings C. Culture of Winter Solstice D. Culture of Eastern Han Dynasty E Boys and girls have different attitudes (看法) towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually based (基于) on shared feelings and support, but friendships between boys are based on shared activities or interests. A boy is likely to be careful about sharing his feelings with his close friends. But for a girl, she might tell her closest friend about something that has happened in her life right away. Many studies worldwide show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they hesitate before answering, “My best friend? I can’t think about that. I am busy with my homework, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking carefully, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other. We do a lot of things together such as talking and shopping.” We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings. The qualities (质量) that boys and girls consider important in a friend seem to be the same, regardless of (无论) the basis of these friendships. The important thing to remember is that both of them are friendships. We all need friends in our lives. 50. What does the underlined word “hesitate” in Paragraph 2 probably means? A Being slow to speak. B. Being shy to speak in public. C. Sharing feelings secretly. D. Sharing feelings hurriedly. 51. What do you know about friendships from the passage? A.

The qualities of friendships. D. Different attitudes towards friendships. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Most of you may think of clams (河蚌) as part of a big meal.
