C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了急救的重要性以及在不同情况下如何进行急救。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片和“If someone has a burn (灼伤)”以及“Cool the part for more than 10 minutes.”可知，在烧伤后要将烧伤部位用流动的水冲洗冷却超过10分钟。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If someone is choking (呛)”和“Hit the person on the back up to five times.”可知，当有人呛到时，应该拍打其背部。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When giving first aid, you’d better keep two things in mind. On the one hand, please stay calm and don’t panic (惊慌). On the other hand, you need to make sure of your own safety.”可知，在进行急救时，最好记住两件事。一方面，请保持冷静，不要惊慌。另一方面，你需要确保自己的安全。故等待医生到来并不是急救的规则。故选C。 B What brought you and your friends together? Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities? Besides these common reasons, genes (基因) may also play a role. According to a US study with 1, 932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related two people are—the higher the number is, the closer the relation is. Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant (远房的) family members. The question is—why are people with a high level of the kinship coefficient more likely to become friends? The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes have something to do with the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell. The study also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body smells were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you! 4. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a topic. B. To give examples. C. To provide a solution. 5. What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins. B. The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0.001. C. Best friends can share more genetic similarities than distant family members. 6. According to the study, who are more likely to become friends? A. People who live in the same neighborhood. B. People who have similar body smells. C. People who have similar looks. 7. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A. Travel. B. Sports. C. Science. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了基因相似性（亲缘系数）对友谊形成的影响，并通过研究数据说明朋友之间可能比远亲拥有更高的基因相似性，尤其是嗅觉基因的相似性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What brought you and your friends together? Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities? Besides these common reasons, genes may also play a role.”可推知，作者通过提问引入话题，提出基因对友谊的影响。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据“friends have a kinship coefficient that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers… you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant family members.”可知，朋友的亲缘系数比陌生人高0.0014，你与最好朋友的基因相似度可能比某些远亲更高，即朋友间的基因相似性可能超过远亲。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“close friends may have a similar sense of smell”和“friends’ body smells were more alike than those of strangers”可知，体味相似的人更可能成为朋友。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕基因与友谊的科学研究发现展开，引用研究数据和实验，符合科学类文章的特征。故选C。 C “You pretty, he ugly. You swan (天鹅), he frog!” Foreign people just love these funny English sentences going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog!” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese netizens (网友) to call the people who hurt me frogs,” said a foreign Internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. It often combines Chinese grammar, vocabulary or cultural expressions with English, resulting in some Chinese-English forms. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often, so different styles of speaking English like Chinglish are becoming more accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford Dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “You swan, he frog!” “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world.” 8. How did many foreigners react (反应) to the expression “You swan, he frog”? A. They shared it online and made funny pictures with it. B. They didn’t like it and laughed at Kris. C. Someone wrote a book about it and shared it online. 9. What does the underlined word “combines” mean in the last paragraph? A. 分享 B. 结合 C. 交流 10. Why is Chinglish more accepted now? A. Because people don’t care about grammar anymore. B. Because globalization allows different English styles to spread. C. Because foreign people start to learn Chinese now. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Foreigners love Chinglish expressions about animals. B. Foreigners find it hard to understand Chinese culture. C. Chinglish expressions are becoming popular among foreigners. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了“You swan, he frog!”这一中式英语表达在外国网友中的流行及其背后的文化现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it.” 可知，许多外国人对“You swan, he frog!”这个表达的反应是他们在网上分享它并制作有趣的图片。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It often combines Chinese grammar, vocabulary or cultural expressions with English, resulting in some Chinese-English forms.” 可知，它经常把汉语语法、词汇或文化表达和英语结合在一起，从而产生一些汉英形式。故划线单词表示“结合”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often, so different styles of speaking English like Chinglish are becoming more accepted.” 可知，现在中式英语更被接受是因为全球化使得不同的英语风格得以传播。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是Chinglish表达在外国人中的流行。故选C。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。 China has fewer very overweight (超重的) people compared to many other countries worldwide. The reason behind this is the traditional Chinese diet which is known for its health benefits (好处). ____12____ A traditional Chinese diet is heavy on vegetables. The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans. ____13____ Moreover, vegetables are low in calories (卡路里). That means they are one of the best choices for managing the calories you take in at a meal. Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert. ____14____ However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar. ____15____ In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular. However, in China, people have been drinking tea for more than 3,000 years, and they usually enjoy it all day long. Drinking tea can help burn extra calories and can also provide protection against certain diseases. All these points add up to the traditional Chinese diet being a healthy one. Lots of fresh vegetables, fewer desserts, and a love for tea all help people to stay slim and healthy. A. These vegetables are good for the body and can even help in fighting cancer (癌症). B. Sometimes, at the end of a Chinese meal, a sweet soup, like red bean or tofu soup, may be served. C. Let’s explore what makes the Chinese diet so good for health. D. The Chinese don’t eat as much fast food as people in some other countries. E. The choice of drinks also plays a role in weight control. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述中国传统饮食的健康益处，包括蔬菜摄入量大、甜点热量低以及饮茶习惯等。 【12题详解】 根据“The reason behind this is the traditional Chinese diet which is known for its health benefits.”和后文可知，这背后的原因是中国传统饮食以其健康益处闻名。故空格处应起到引出下文具体介绍中国饮食健康之处的作用。选项C“让我们探索是什么让中国饮食如此健康。”符合语境，故选C。 【13题详解】 根据“A traditional Chinese diet is heavy on vegetables. The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans.”可知，先说明了中国传统饮食中蔬菜占比大，且列举了一些新鲜健康的蔬菜。故接下来内容应与蔬菜相关。选项A“这些蔬菜对身体有益，甚至有助于抗癌。”符合语境，故选A。 【14题详解】 根据“Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert.”和“However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar.”可知， 此处指出中国餐不像其他一些国家那样以高卡路里甜点结束，且提到了与甜点相比卡路里较低的汤。由此可知，空格处应该是引出中国餐结束时可能会出现的汤类食物。选项B“有时，中餐结束时可能会上一道甜汤，比如红豆汤或豆腐汤。”符合语境，故选B。 【15题详解】 根据“In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular...”可知，后文对比了其他国家流行含糖饮料和中国悠久的饮茶历史以及茶的益处。由此可知，空格处应该是引出关于饮料选择在健康方面的话题。选项E“饮料的选择也对体重控制有影响。”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During my childhood, my mom had a special evening routine.

When she hung up, I ____19____ her choice of those small topics. With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the simplest conversations can make her feel cared for.” 30 years later, I realized the true influence of my mother’s nightly calls. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people get old, they may experience the ____20____ of friends or family members. This ____21____ a smaller social circle.

So even the simplest conversations can make her feel cared for.”可知，我一开始对妈妈选择这些小话题不理解，所以应是质疑她的选择。故选C。 【20题详解】 句意：随着人变老，他们可能会经历朋友或家人的死亡。 help帮助；death死亡；visit拜访。根据“The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons.”和“As people get old”可知，要解释老人孤独的原因，结合选项，经历朋友或家人的死亡会导致孤独。故选B。 【21题详解】 句意：这导致了一个更小的社交圈子。 leads to导致；turns to转向；adds to增加。前面提到可能经历朋友或家人的死亡，这会产生一个结果，即导致社交圈子变小。故选A。 【22题详解】 句意：健康问题会使老年人参加社交活动更困难。 harder更困难的；quicker更快的；easier更容易的。根据“Health problems”可知，健康问题肯定会对老人参加社交活动产生阻碍，所以是更困难。故选A。 【23题详解】 句意：退休也会带走曾经由工作提供的日常交流。 give away赠送；put away收起放好；take away带走。根据“Retirement (退休) can also”和“daily communication that was once provided by work”可知，退休后工作没有了，那么曾经工作带来的日常交流也就没有了，即带走了。故选C。 【24题详解】 句意：没有日常的社交交流，他们可能会经历悲伤、无聊和空虚感。 fairness公平；happiness幸福；sadness悲伤。根据“Without everyday social communication”和“boredom and a sense of emptiness”可知，没有社交交流带来的应该是负面情绪，结合选项sadness“悲伤”符合。故选C。 【25题详解】 句意：她的电话把他们和外面的世界连接起来。 work工作；world世界；field领域。根据“connected (连接) them to the”和“outside”可知，电话能让老人和外面的世界联系起来。故选B。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 Noah’s Volunteering Journey Noah spends several hours each week helping others. ____26____ the age of 7, his volunteering journey began at a summer camp, where he helped out with a soccer program. Even at such a young age, Noah realized he could make a difference to others. He said, “I realized I could help others, even as a kid.” As he got older, Noah continued to help others in many ways. At another summer camp, he joined a group to beautify schools and parks by ____27____ (paint) alone. It was surprising that he did all of this by ____28____ (he) before 14.

Kindness 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Noah的志愿服务经历，以及他如何通过帮助他人获得满足感。 【26题详解】 句意：在7岁时，他的志愿服务之旅始于一个夏令营。at the age of“在……岁时”，固定短语，句首首字母大写。故填At。 【27题详解】 句意：在另一个夏令营，他加入了一个小组，通过单独绘画来美化学校和公园。paint“绘画”。根据“by”可知，其后应接动名词作宾语。故填painting。 【28题详解】 句意：令人惊讶的是，他在14岁之前独自完成了所有这些。he“他”，分析句子结构，设空处需要一个反身代词来强调主语，by oneself“独自”，故此处应用himself“他自己”。故填himself。 【29题详解】 句意：我从这些中获得了如此强烈的满足感。a strong feeling of satisfaction“一种强烈的满足感”，设空处用不定冠词a来修饰名词feeling。故填a。 【30题详解】 句意：之后，Noah决定参与更大的志愿项目。decide to do sth“决定做某事”，动词不定式作宾语。故填to take。 【31题详解】 句意：Noah非常喜欢它，以至于他开始每周六都做这件事。根据“Noah enjoyed it so much he started doing it every Saturday.”可知，Noah非常喜欢做这件事以至于他开始每周六都做，so...that...“太……以至于……”。故填that。 【32题详解】 句意：他还为残疾人的艺术项目提供帮助，并为一个课后阅读项目做志愿者。根据前面的 “helped out with”可知，and连接两个并列的谓语动词，时态要保持一致，都用一般过去时，volunteer的过去式是volunteered。故填volunteered。 【33题详解】 句意：我们在他们生日月份为每位89岁以上的老人送生日蛋糕，以让他们开心。根据“We deliver birthday cakes to everyone over 89 during their birthday month...them up.”可知，送生日蛋糕的目的是让他们高兴起来，故这里应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to cheer。 【34题详解】 句意：现在，Noah发现他的努力可以帮助他人更快乐地生活。根据“Now, Noah finds his efforts can help others live ”可知，这里修饰动词“live”，应该用副词形式，happy的副词是happily。故填happily。 【35题详解】 句意：正如马克·吐温所说：“善良是聋人能听到、盲人能看到的一种语言。”分析句子结构可知，设空处需要一个名词作主语，kind“善良的”，其名词为kindness，句首首字母大写。故填Kindness。 第四部分 读写综合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Many people, like Andy, worry too much about what others think of them. At school, Andy never answers questions because he is afraid of making mistakes. He even works hard to make people think he’s good enough. It’s normal to care about what others think, but we shouldn’t let it control our lives. The key is to know we live for ourselves, not for others. There are several ways to go about doing this. First, we should remember that we are often our own biggest judges (裁判). If we have a low opinion of ourselves, then we think that others feel the same way about us. To get over this, we should “learn to love” ourselves. We can do what we like to do and help others at the same time. For example, if we are book lovers, try to volunteer to read for kids. Second, we can’t control how others think of us. Instead of trying to please everyone, we should learn about what makes us different. Why not take up a hobby like playing basketball? In this way, we can lower our stress and have a good time in the free time. However, this doesn’t mean we should ignore (忽视) how we treat others. Listen to others first, even if we disagree. Being kind and respectful is always important. At the same time, it’s okay to express our own opinions. Remember, winning or losing is not the point. It’s impossible to make everyone think like us. Everyone has different opinions and we’re not trying to start a fight. So, express our own opinions politely. After all, communication is the best way to solve the problems. So, be ourselves, respect others and express our thoughts kindly. Don’t let fear of judgment hold us back! 36. Does Andy answer questions at school? ____________________________________________ 37. How can we learn to love ourselves? ____________________________________________ 38. What should we do first if we disagree with others? ____________________________________________ 39. Why should we express our own opinions politely? ____________________________________________ 40. How many ways are there in the passage to help us stop worrying about others’ opinions? ____________________________________________ 41. 假定你是李华，是学校英文校刊Teens Talk专栏的负责人。同学刘明发来邮件，向你诉说他的困扰：在课余时间，他的父母给他安排了大量的补习，令他十分疲惫。因此，他向你询问课余时间的其他活动和好处，以及如何同父母沟通。请结合第一节（回答问题）以及所给提示，给他写一封建议信。 要求： （1）短文需包括以下要点，可适当发挥， What activities can he do in the free time? What can he learn from the activities? How can he communicate with his parents? （2）80词左右（开头和结尾己给出，不计入总词数）： （3）文中不得出现真实人名和校名。 Dear Liu Ming, It’s not easy being our age, and it’s normal to have these feelings._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】36. No, he doesn’t. 37. We can do what we like to do and help others at the same time. 38 We should listen to others first even if we disagree. 39. Because everyone has different opinions and we’re not trying to start a fight. Also, communication is the best way to solve problems. 40. Three./3. 41. 例文 Dear Liu Ming, It’s not easy being our age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. First, I think you need to communicate with your parents and tell them how you feel. You can write to them. Or you can talk with them face to face. Second, you had better make a study plan. When you study hard and make progress in study, your parents will understand you.

Here are ways to give first aid. If someone falls If someone has a burn (灼伤) Keep safe when helping others. Cool the part for more than 10 minutes. If someone is choking (呛) If the situation is serious Hit the person on the back up to five times. Get help as soon as possible... ·Parents ·Teachers ·999 BRITISHREDCROSS/ QIANTU When giving first aid, you’d better keep two things in mind. On the one hand, please stay calm and don’t panic (惊慌). On the other hand, you need to make sure of your own safety. 1. What should you do first if someone has a burn according to the passage? A. Put ice directly to the burn. B. Cool the burn under running water for more than 10 minutes. C. Cover the burn with a bandage. 2. When should you hit someone’s back? A. When someone has a burn. B. When someone falls. C. When someone is choking. 3. Which of the following is not the rule of giving first aid? A. You should stay calm and not panic. B. You should make sure of your own safety. C. You should wait for doctors to arrive. B What brought you and your friends together? Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities? Besides these common reasons, genes (基因) may also play a role. According to a US study with 1, 932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related two people are—the higher the number is, the closer the relation is. Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant (远房的) family members. The question is—why are people with a high level of the kinship coefficient more likely to become friends? The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes have something to do with the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell. The study also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body smells were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you! 4. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a topic. B. To give examples. C. To provide a solution. 5. What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins. B. The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0.001. C. Best friends can share more genetic similarities than distant family members. 6. According to the study, who are more likely to become friends? A. People who live in the same neighborhood. B. People who have similar body smells. C. People who have similar looks. 7. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A. Travel. B. Sports. C. Science. C “You pretty, he ugly. You swan (天鹅), he frog!” Foreign people just love these funny English sentences going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog!” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese netizens (网友) to call the people who hurt me frogs,” said a foreign Internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. It often combines Chinese grammar, vocabulary or cultural expressions with English, resulting in some Chinese-English forms. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often, so different styles of speaking English like Chinglish are becoming more accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford Dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “You swan, he frog!” “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world.” 8. How did many foreigners react (反应) to the expression “You swan, he frog”? A. They shared it online and made funny pictures with it. B. They didn’t like it and laughed at Kris. C. Someone wrote a book about it and shared it online. 9. What does the underlined word “combines” mean in the last paragraph? A. 分享 B. 结合 C. 交流 10. Why is Chinglish more accepted now? A. Because people don’t care about grammar anymore. B. Because globalization allows different English styles to spread. C. Because foreign people start to learn Chinese now. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A Foreigners love Chinglish expressions about animals. B. Foreigners find it hard to understand Chinese culture. C. Chinglish expressions are becoming popular among foreigners. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。 China has fewer very overweight (超重的) people compared to many other countries worldwide.

At school, Andy never answers questions because he is afraid of making mistakes. He even works hard to make people think he’s good enough. It’s normal to care about what others think, but we shouldn’t let it control our lives. The key is to know we live for ourselves, not for others. There are several ways to go about doing this. First, we should remember that we are often our own biggest judges (裁判). If we have a low opinion of ourselves, then we think that others feel the same way about us. To get over this, we should “learn to love” ourselves. We can do what we like to do and help others at the same time. For example, if we are book lovers, try to volunteer to read for kids. Second, we can’t control how others think of us. Instead of trying to please everyone, we should learn about what makes us different. Why not take up a hobby like playing basketball? In this way, we can lower our stress and have a good time in the free time. However, this doesn’t mean we should ignore (忽视) how we treat others. Listen to others first, even if we disagree. Being kind and respectful is always important. At the same time, it’s okay to express our own opinions. Remember, winning or losing is not the point. It’s impossible to make everyone think like us. Everyone has different opinions and we’re not trying to start a fight. So, express our own opinions politely. After all, communication is the best way to solve the problems. So, be ourselves, respect others and express our thoughts kindly. Don’t let fear of judgment hold us back! 36. Does Andy answer questions at school? ____________________________________________ 37. How can we learn to love ourselves? ____________________________________________ 38. What should we do first if we disagree with others? ____________________________________________ 39. Why should we express our own opinions politely? ____________________________________________ 40.
