A. a storybook B. a magazine C. a medicine bottle B Keeping seeds in a bank Did you know that a seed can have its own “identity card (身份证)”? The “card” shows that the seed is at the national crop germplasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing, known as China’s seed bank. A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural seeds started in 2021 and ended in January this year, reported CCTV News. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank. When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste. Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said. With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re stored in a super cold freezer (冰箱) at -18℃. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security (安全) of the country. 26 What is a census of agricultural seeds? A. Examining the safety of the country’s seeds. B. Recording all of the seeds at the seed bank. C. Collecting as many different seeds as possible. 27. In the second step, seeds are put into groups according to their ________. A. birthplace B. weight C. look or taste 28. Which step is missing in the journey of a seed to the seed bank? A. collecting B. saving C. checking 29. Why do workers test seeds before putting them into the seed bank? A. To pick healthy seeds. B. To predict seed growth. C. To tell different seeds apart. 30. What is the main reason for building the seed bank? A. To protect our country’s food safety. B. To deal with problems caused by climate change. C. To know about future agricultural production. C People across Canada and the world were sad on March 10, 2023. The killer whale (虎鲸) named Kiska died at Marineland (海洋公园) on this day. Kiska was the only killer whale left at Marineland and the last one kept in captivity (圈养) in Canada after catching whales was stopped. So people call her the “Loneliest Whale in the World”. According to the workers, Kiska died “peacefully” at the age of 47. But the reason why she died is still unclear. Animal rights activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story. Killer whales in the wild live in close family groups with a need to be together, but the video of Kiska showed her swimming alone in her pool. She was caught in the Atlantic at about the age of three and kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself. Kiska was caught off Iceland along with Keiko that was finally returned to the wild. Activists were hoping Kiska would be the first whale set free into a new whale sanctuary (保护区) planned for the Nova Scotia coast. Although Kiska has gone, the activists are still hoping the sanctuary will become a home for the other white whales and dolphins at Marineland. 31. People call Kiska the “Loneliest Whale in the World” because ________. A. she died quietly and alone at Marineland B. she was the only killer whale left in Canada C. she was the only and last killer whale kept at Marineland 32 The underlined word “outraged” means “________” in English. A. angry B. moved C. excited 33. How long did Kiska live at Marineland by herself? A. For 12 years. B. For 40 years. C. For 47 years. 34. We can learn from the last paragraph that ________. A. Kiska once was set free by the activists B. Kiska once lived along the Nova Scotia coast C. activists want more sea animals to be set free 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. A killer whale became famous at Marineland B. The loneliest whale in the world died at Marineland C. Animal rights activists tried to save animals in danger Ⅷ．阅读还原：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，选出填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Why did ancient Chinese emperors call themselves zhen (朕) or guaren (寡人)? ____36____ Before the Qin Dynasty, it meant “I” or “me” and everyone from farmers to state rulers could use it. The word can be found in books like Li Sao (The Lament) and Shi Jing (The Book of Songs). However, when the state of Qin defeated all the other six states and unified (统一) China, ____37____ He made it a rule that zhen could only be used by the emperor himself. Since then, the word has been reserved (保留) only for rulers. ____38____ In ancient China, emperors took themselves as the “Sons of Heaven”, and believed they had a “Mandate of Heaven (天命)” to rule. However, if the “Son of Heaven” was found to have poor morals (德行)，they would lose the mandate. So, the rulers used the term guaren or guade zhiren (寡德之人), meaning “a person who doesn’t have morality”. In this way, they could show their modesty (谦虚). ____39____ Modesty is seen as a virtue (美德). Ancient rulers hoped to win people’s hearts by calling themselves guaren. However, historical records show that guaren lost its popularity after the Tang Dynasty. ____40____ A. We often hear or see it in a history book. B. Chinese emperors also called themselves guaren. C. The emperors of the following dynasties used zhen more often. D. Research shows that the word zhen used to be a first-person pronoun (代词)。 E. In Chinese culture, people should not talk proudly about their own abilities and beliefs. F. Qinshihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, changed how this word could be used. 第四部分 书面表达（共两大题，满分35分） Ⅸ．任务型读写（满分15分） The 2023 World Robot Conference (世界机器人大会) has been held from August 16 to 22 in Beijing.

A. a B. an C. the 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——《汉塞尔与格莱特》是一个欧洲的故事吗？—— 是的，它是一个来自《格林童话》的故事。 考查冠词的用法。a和an是不定冠词，表泛指，意为“一个”，a用于以辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the是定冠词，表特指。这里泛指 “一个欧洲的故事”，且“European”是以辅音音素开头，所以用a。故选A。 2. —Where did you buy the tea set, from a tea shop or a supermarket? —________. I always shop online. A. Both B. Neither C. Either 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你在哪里买的这套茶具，是从茶叶店还是超市买的？—— 都不是。我总是在网上购物。 考查不定代词辨析。both表示“两者都”；neither表示“两者都不”；either表示 “两者中的任何一个”。根据问句“from a tea shop or a supermarket”可知是在茶叶店和超市两者中选择，再由答语“I always shop online.”可知既不是在茶叶店买的，也不是在超市买的，是对两者的否定，所以应用 neither。故选B。 3. —Can you write the number “fifty-three thousand, two hundred and ten”? —Yes, it is ________ . A. 53,210 B. 532,010 C. 532,100 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你能写出“五万三千二百一十”这个数字吗？—— 可以，它是53,210。 考查数字的英文表达。在英文数字表达中，“fifty-three thousand”表示五万三千，即53,000 ；“two hundred and ten”表示二百一十，即210。将两部分合起来就是 53,000 + 210 = 53,210。所以“fifty-three thousand, two hundred and ten”对应的数字是 53,210，故选A。 4. —Did you do anything interesting last weekend? —No, I ________ stayed at home and studied for my exams. A. suddenly B. simply C. luckily 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你上周末做什么有趣的事情了吗？——没有。我只是待在家里准备考试。 考查副词辨析。suddenly突然；simply仅仅、只；luckily幸运地。根据“No, I ... stayed at home and studied for my exams.”可知，我没有做什么特殊的事情，只是待在家里准备考试。故选B。 5. —Which is ________, Wanquan River or Nandu River? —Nandu River. But it’s not as famous as Wanquan River. A. long B. longer C. the longest 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 万泉河和南渡江，哪条更长？—— 南渡江。但它不如万泉河有名。 本题考查形容词比较级的用法。long长的，原级；longer更长的，形容词比较级；the longest最长的，最高级形式。根据“Which is ..., Wanquan River or Nandu River?”可知，句中是在万泉河和南渡江两条河之间进行比较，应用比较级形式。故选B。 6. — Must I be a teacher like you when I grow up, Dad? — No, you _______. You can choose whatever job you want to do. A. can’t B. mustn’t C. needn’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，我长大后一定要像你一样当老师吗？ ——不，你不需要。你可以选择任何你想做的工作。 考查must开头的一般疑问句。A. can’t不可以；B. mustn’t不准、禁止；C. needn’t不需要。根据英语表达习惯，情态动词must开头的问句，因为must的否定式mustn’t的含义过于强硬，所以句子的否定回答，不用mustn’t，而用needn’t。故选C。 【点睛】情态动词must开头的一般疑问句： 肯定形式：Yes, 主语+ must.例如： — Must I clean my room? 我必须打扫我的房间吗？ — Yes, you must. 是的，你必须。 否定形式：No, 主语+ needn’t.例如： — Must I clean my room? 我必须打扫我房间吗？ — No, you needn’t. 不，你不需要。 7. —Do you know the story of Three Moves by Mencius’ Mother (孟母三迁)? —Of course It tells us a good learning ________ for children is very important. A. environment B. example C. program 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道“孟母三迁”的故事吗？——当然了。它为我们讲述了对孩子来说一个好的学习环境是非常重要的。 考查名词辨析。environment环境；example例子；program项目。根据“Do you know the story Three Moves by Mencius’ Mother《孟母三迁》”可知，“孟母三迁”的故事是讲述的一位母亲为她的孩子提供最好的环境，因此环境是重要的。故选A。 8. ________ running, we get up very early every morning. A. To practice B. Practicing C. Practiced 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了练习跑步，我们每天早晨起得很早。 考查动词不定式。根据“... running, we get up very early every morning.”可知，练习跑步是早起的目的，用不定式表目的。故选A。 9 —Where is your brother Jimmy? —He ________ Wenchang Space Launch Center. He is so crazy about space these days. A. has been to B. has gone to C. has been in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你哥哥Jimmy在哪里？——他去文昌航天发射中心了。他最近对太空很着迷。 考查现在完成时。has been to曾经去过某地，已回；has gone to去了某地，未回；has been in去了某地，还在那里。根据“Where is your brother Jimmy?”和“He ... Wenchang Space Launch Center.”可知，Jimmy去文昌航天发射中心了，还没有回来。故选B。 10. —Do you know what the saying “Actions speak louder than words” means? —It tells us ________ . A. how should we do in daily life B. why we need communication C. what you do is more important 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你知道“行动胜于言语”这句话是什么意思吗？—— 它告诉我们你所做的更重要。 考查宾语从句。宾语从句要用陈述句语序，A 选项“how should we do in daily life”是疑问句语序，不符合要求，可排除；B 选项“why we need communication” 意为 “我们为什么需要交流”，与 “行动胜于言语” 的含义不相关；C 选项“what you do is more important”是陈述句语序，且表达的“你所做的更重要”与“行动胜于言语”的意思相符。故选C。 Ⅵ．完形填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每小题所给的三个选项中选出最佳选项。 Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) sent him to have his first piano lesson.

The “card” shows that the seed is at the national crop germplasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing, known as China’s seed bank. A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural seeds started in 2021 and ended in January this year, reported CCTV News. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank. When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste. Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said. With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re stored in a super cold freezer (冰箱) at -18℃. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security (安全) of the country. 26. What is a census of agricultural seeds? A. Examining the safety of the country’s seeds. B. Recording all of the seeds at the seed bank. C. Collecting as many different seeds as possible. 27. In the second step, seeds are put into groups according to their ________. A. birthplace B. weight C. look or taste 28. Which step is missing in the journey of a seed to the seed bank? A. collecting B. saving C. checking 29. Why do workers test seeds before putting them into the seed bank? A. To pick healthy seeds. B. To predict seed growth. C. To tell different seeds apart. 30. What is the main reason for building the seed bank? A. To protect our country’s food safety. B. To deal with problems caused by climate change. C. To know about future agricultural production. 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. C 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了种子在国家作物种质库中的保存过程及其对国家粮食安全的重要性。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country.”可知，种子的普查是尽可能多地收集不同种类的种子。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste.”可知，种子是根据它们的外观或味道进行分类的。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up.”可知，种子在进入种子库之前需要经过检查，确保健康的种子被保存。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth.”可知，测试种子是为了使用得到的信息来预测种子的成长。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security of the country.”可知，建立种子库的主要目的是保护国家的粮食安全。故选A。 C People across Canada and the world were sad on March 10, 2023. The killer whale (虎鲸) named Kiska died at Marineland (海洋公园) on this day. Kiska was the only killer whale left at Marineland and the last one kept in captivity (圈养) in Canada after catching whales was stopped. So people call her the “Loneliest Whale in the World”. According to the workers, Kiska died “peacefully” at the age of 47. But the reason why she died is still unclear. Animal rights activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story. Killer whales in the wild live in close family groups with a need to be together, but the video of Kiska showed her swimming alone in her pool. She was caught in the Atlantic at about the age of three and kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself. Kiska was caught off Iceland along with Keiko that was finally returned to the wild. Activists were hoping Kiska would be the first whale set free into a new whale sanctuary (保护区) planned for the Nova Scotia coast. Although Kiska has gone, the activists are still hoping the sanctuary will become a home for the other white whales and dolphins at Marineland. 31. People call Kiska the “Loneliest Whale in the World” because ________. A. she died quietly and alone at Marineland B. she was the only killer whale left in Canada C. she was the only and last killer whale kept at Marineland 32.

Animal rights activists tried to save animals in danger 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了加拿大海洋公园Marineland中最后一只圈养的虎鲸Kiska的死亡，以及动物权益保护者对此的反应和未来的期望。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Kiska was the only killer whale left at Marineland and the last one kept in captivity in Canada after catching whales was stopped.”可知，Kiska是Marineland中最后一只圈养的虎鲸，也是加拿大最后一只圈养的虎鲸。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Animal right activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story”并结合选项可知，这里是动物权益保护者表达对事件的愤怒，因此“outraged”与“angry”的词义相同。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kiska was caught…kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself”可知，基斯卡最后独自生活了12年。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Activists were hoping Kiska would be the first whale set free into a new whale sanctuary (保护区) planned for the Nova Scotia coast.”可知，动物权益保护者们希望Kiska能成为第一只被放归Nova Scotia海岸新鲸鱼保护区的鲸鱼。由此推知，动物权益保护者们希望释放更多的海洋动物。故选C 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，主要讲述了加拿大海洋公园Marineland中最后一只圈养的虎鲸Kiska的死亡。故选B。 Ⅷ．阅读还原：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，选出填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Why did ancient Chinese emperors call themselves zhen (朕) or guaren (寡人)? ____36____ Before the Qin Dynasty, it meant “I” or “me” and everyone from farmers to state rulers could use it.
