Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
The Necklace written by Maupassant,famous French novelist,centers on three characters: Mathilde Loisel,Monsieur Loisel and Madame Forestier.
Mathilde,the main character,was beautiful and social.She wanted expensive items to match her good taste.But she was born into a clerk’s family and ended up marrying another ordinary clerk,so she couldn’t afford the items she wanted,which made her unhappy.
Monsieur,Mathilde’s husband,was happy with his simple life.He loved Mathilde and tried to lighten her unhappiness by getting her an invitation to the Ministry of Education’s formal party,where she could have contacts with high society.Mathilde was immediately upset,however,because she didn’t have jewelry that she believed was nice enough.Near the date of the party,Mathilde decided to borrow a diamond necklace from Madame Forestier,who was Mathilde’s friend and wealthy.
Mathilde was the focus at the party.When the couple returned home after the party,Mathilde was saddened by the humble state of her life compared with the fairy-tale party.This emotion quickly turned into a panic(恐慌) as she realized she had lost the necklace.
The Loisels searched unsuccessfully for the necklace and at last decided to replace it without telling Forestier.They found a similar necklace,but to afford it they went deeply into debt.For the next 10 years,the Loisels lived in poverty(贫穷).And Mathilde’s beauty had faded from a decade of hardship.
One day,Mathilde came across Forestier on the street.At first,Forestier didn’t recognize Mathilde and was shocked when she realized it was her.Mathilde explained to Forestier that she lost the necklace,replaced it,and worked for 10 years to pay for the substitute(替代品).Forestier sadly replied that the necklace she lent her was fake and worth almost nothing.
语篇解读 本文围绕“人与社会”这一主题语境展开,介绍了法国作家莫泊桑的短篇小说《项链》的主要人物以及故事情节。
1.Why did Mathilde borrow jewelry from Forestier?
A.Forestier had more jewelry than Mathilde.
B.It was too late to buy new jewelry for the party.
C.People were invited to wear jewelry at the ball.
D.She wanted to wear expensive jewelry to match her good taste.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She wanted expensive items to match her good taste.”及第三段中的“she didn’t have jewelry that she believed was nice enough”可知,Mathilde想要昂贵的东西以与她的高品位相配,但她没有符合这一要求的项链,因此她向 Forestier 借了项链。故选D。
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “humble” in paragraph 4?
A.Boring. B.Terrible.
C.Tiring. D.Unfortunate.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文对Mathilde的生活境况的描述以及画线词后的“compared with the fairy-tale party”可知,humble的含义与fairy-tale相反,结合选项可知,B项符合题意,故选B。
3.Why did Forestier not recognize Mathilde on the street at first?
A.Mathilde changed a lot.
B.They hadn’t met for ten years.
C.Forestier no longer liked Mathilde.
D.Mathilde looked younger than before.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“For the next 10 years,the Loisels lived in poverty(贫穷).And Mathilde’s beauty had faded from a decade of hardship.”可推知,贫困的生活使Mathilde变化了很多,所以Forestier刚开始没有在街上认出Mathilde来。故选A。
4.What did the necklace cause to the Loisels?
A.Wealth. B.Happiness.
C.Sadness. D.Honor.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段以及最后一段中的“Mathilde explained to Forestier that she lost the necklace,replaced it,and worked for 10 years to pay for the substitute(替代品).Forestier sadly replied that the necklace she lent her was fake and worth almost nothing.”可知,Mathilde从Forestier那里借的项链是假的,而她和丈夫为了还项链却买了一条真的项链,并因此陷入债务中,花了十年的时间来还债,这是一个悲伤的故事。由此可知,项链带给这对夫妇的只有悲伤。故选C。
B
The Wandering Earth Ⅱ,a science-fiction movie,has aroused hot debate among galaxy(星系) scientists and science-fiction writers,both in China and overseas.Among them,John Gribbin,a UK-based science writer,speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that’s what makes science fiction successful.
“It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the principles of science,and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them,” he says.“This is a bit like music.Even if you are not a great musician,if you know a little bit,you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.”
Zhou Binghong,a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology,holds a similar view.“The more scientific knowledge one gains,the more questions he or she will have about how the world runs.This leaves them wanting to know more,especially youngsters.”
Both episodes of The Wandering Earth include quite a few imagined technologies that need basic scientific knowledge to understand.In the latest one,for example,what aroused most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket.On various platforms,there are discussions about whether such an elevator is possible.If it is,what materials would be used?
For Zhou,such discussions themselves mean the public has a taste for science.He says,“Interest marks the first step toward creativity.Who knows who will come into view as an engineer for such an elevator in 50 years’ time?”
Impressed by the progress of science-related industries in China,Gribbin says that,“It is going from strength to strength,” and that,“China is one of the leading countries for scientific research and technological development,and the Chinese people are naturally interested in these developments.”
5.What leads to the popularity of science fiction according to paragraph 1?
A.The charm of science.
B.The attraction of literature.
C.The popularity of the film.
D.The development of science education.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段末句可知,科学教育的发展是科幻小说受欢迎的原因。故选D。
6.Why is the music mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To stress music is necessary in science.
B.To tell why music appreciation is important.
C.To show the relationship between music and science.
D.To indicate the importance of learning scientific knowledge.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知,第二段中提到音乐是为了类比说明学习科学知识的重要性。故选D。
7.Which is the function of “space elevator” in The Wandering Earth?
A.It helps control the rocket.
B.It sends astronauts into space.
C.It enables astronauts to walk in space.
D.It maintains astronauts’ safety in space.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段的“a ‘space elevator’ that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket”可知,太空电梯的功能是送宇航员去太空。故选B。
8.Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A.Putting Science into Fiction
B.Fiction Gaining Popularity
C.Science Planting Seeds of Hope
D.A Leading Country for Scientific Research
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文,特别是第一段末句可知,本文的主要观点是科学知识的普及导致科幻小说更加受欢迎。由此可知,A项“把科学融入小说”最适合作本文标题。故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Don’t be too concerned about money,because all it will do is distract you from achieving happiness.And the irony(有讽刺意味的事) is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 1 .If you are happy and you have money,you can use it for happiness.If you are unhappy and you have money,you will use that money for more unhappiness.Because money is simply a neutral(中性的) force.
Don’t misunderstand me: 2 .I am not against anything.Money is a means.Your money will enhance your pattern,whatever it is good or bad.
3 .They are ready,at any moment,to change their pattern,to change their ways,if more money is available somewhere else.
Once the money is there,then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.
This is the way of the worldly man.Remember,I don’t call a person worldly because he or she has money. 4 .This applies to people with no money as well—they may simply be poor.Just being poor does not equal to being spiritual; and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist.The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates over everything.
The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means: happiness predominates,joy predominates,your own individuality predominates. 5 ,and you are not distracted.
Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality to it.
A.I am not against money
B.So they attach great importance to money
C.Money brings great joy to people who pursue it
D.You know who you are and where you are going
E.However,money has nothing to do with happiness
F.I call them worldly if they change their motives for money
G.But people keep looking for money as if money is going to bring happiness
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了作者对金钱的看法。金钱只是一种手段,人们不该为之迷失自我。
1.答案 E
解析 根据上下文可知,金钱只是一种中性的力量,与幸福没有关系。故E选项“然而,金钱和幸福没有关系”符合语境,故选E。
2.答案 A
解析 根据后文“I am not against anything.”可知,作者并不是在反对金钱。故A选项“我并不反对金钱”符合语境,故选A。
3.答案 G
解析 根据后文可知,如果在其他地方有更多的钱,他们随时准备改变自己的模式,改变自己的方式。由此可知,人们一直在寻找金钱,并且会为了金钱而改变自己。故G选项“但是人们一直在寻找金钱,好像金钱能带来幸福似的”符合语境,故选G。
4.答案 F
解析 上文强调他称一个人世俗并不是因为他或她有钱。由此可知,本句说明作者称别人世俗的真正原因。故F选项“如果他们为了金钱而改变动机,我称他们为世俗”符合语境,故选F。
5.答案 D
解析 根据上文可知,在非物质的生活中,金钱只是一种手段,而幸福、快乐、你自己的个性占据主导地位。由此可知,本句承接上文,继续说明非物质的生活的特点。故D选项“你知道你是谁和你要去哪里”符合语境,故选D。

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汉字的起源、发展过程以及对古代和现代的重要意义和作用。
1.答案 which/that
解析 考查定语从句。根据句意并分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,关系词指代先行词ancient civilization(指物)并在从句中作主语,故填which/that。
2.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。language为可数名词,此处泛指“一种语言”,且picture-based发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a。
3.答案 symbols
解析 考查名词复数。根据句意和句中bones和shells可知,雕刻的符号不止一个,应用名词复数形式。
4.答案 leading
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词lived,且句中无连词,此处使用非谓语形式,表示一种自然而然的结果,用现在分词作结果状语。
5.答案 in
解析 考查介词。固定短语in one/a direction,意为“在一个方向上,朝一个方向”。
6.答案 importance
解析 考查词性转换。be of importance=be important,意为“重要的”。
7.答案 freely
解析 考查词性转换。修饰动词communicate用副词,副词freely“自由地”,而free也可作副词,但表示“免费地”,不符合句意。
8.答案 its
解析 考查代词。修饰名词past用形容词性物主代词。
9.答案 were written
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句意和句子结构可知,空处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,从句的先行词为classic works,与write之间是被动关系,而且动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were written。
10.答案 known
解析 考查非谓语动词。be known as为固定短语,意为“作为……而著名”。此处省略be,用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。
Ⅴ.应用文写作(满分15分)

I’m more than glad to receive your e-mail saying you’re interested in Chinese movies.Among all the movies I’ve watched,there’s one that left a deep impression on me.I will introduce it in detail.
American Dreams in China is based on the real story of Yu Minhong who is the founder of New Oriental School.The movie,focusing on friendship and dreams,mainly tells us the story of the three partners setting up the largest English training school in China after meeting lots of difficulties.It conveys a message that we should stick to our dreams.
I strongly recommend it to you because you can see a totally different China in it.I do hope you will enjoy it.
Yours,
