Humans have many organs (器官), but you can enjoy lots of things because of your ears. Do you know how the ears work?
The ear has three parts: the outer ear (外耳), the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sounds around you. The sounds then travel down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! In other words, your ears continue hearing sounds, but you can’t hear the sounds just because your brain ignores them.
But ears do more than hear. They help you keep balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled with liquid (液体) and covered with small hairs. When you move your head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send messages to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help to taste food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves (神经) running through the middle ear that connect the tongue (舌头) to the brain. If something happens to your ears, you might have a hard time telling different tastes.
The ears are truly important organs. We should protect our ears well.
43. How many parts does the ear have?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
44. What can you learn from the text?
A. The inner ears can collect sounds around you.
B. Your ears stop working when you are asleep.
C. If something happens to your ears, you might tell different tastes easily.
D. The organs in the inner ear are filled with liquid and covered with small hairs.
45. What’s the main idea of the text?

This story happened to Brantley Harrison and her family. Living in South Carolina, the Harrisons often look after wild animals and send them back into the wild when they feel better. They are not expecting to meet these animals again.
One October, a wildlife rescue group found a 4-week-old dying squirrel (松鼠) and took her in and then placed her with Brantley and her family. The Harrisons named the squirrel Bella. The little squirrel, with three other ones, all lived together in a cage outside Brantley’s home. They stayed in the Harrisons’ cage until spring. In April of the next year, the Harrisons sent the squirrels back into the wild. The other squirrels soon got used to the wild life. But Bella didn’t. The squirrel wasn’t ready to leave her human family.
“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her,” Brantley said. Her husband John often brought Bella food, as she was usually waiting by the door for him. Bella became a member of the family. Although they said goodbye, Bella had other plans in mind. She refused to leave the family and would not like to go very far into the wild. For nine years, she continued visiting them.

【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The little squirrel, with three other ones, all lived together in a cage outside Brantley’s home.”,可知这只叫贝拉的小松鼠和另外三只松鼠一起住在布兰特利家外面的笼子里,所以总共提到的松鼠数量是1+3=4只。故选D。

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题,请注意每小题的词数要求。
I was an eighth-grader without ever really learning how to read. I had no confidence and was afraid of being laughed at. Hopefully, an amazing teacher appeared.
After asking me to read aloud in class. Ms. Powell noticed my nervousness. She quickly let another student do the task and asked me if she could take me to the nurse’s office, saying that I looked a little pale. Even though I was not sick, I followed her.
Ms. Powell never knew reading was a challenge for her husband until two weeks before he passed away. She promised to teach him but he told her, “Teach someone who really needs you.” She looked for that person for some time.
Then she asked a little girl to read and discovered her problem. That girl was me. Meeting me in the hallway she said, “I’m here to help solve your problem.” Shamefully, I told her I couldn’t read. “There is no need to feel sorry,” she said. She promised me that efforts could solve my problem. Over the course of the next year, Ms. Powell spent her spare time teaching me. It was difficult, but through many tears, I could finally read.
Ms. Powell brought me out of my lonely world and my life improved. I want to say to her: _______________.
53. How did the writer feel when she was asked to read aloud? (不超过5个词)
_______________________________________________________
54. How did Ms. Powell help the writer solve the problem? (不超过 10个词)

【54题详解】
根据“Over the course of the next year, Ms. Powell spent her spare time teaching me.”可知,Powell老师通过花费业余时间教学帮助作者解决问题。故填She spent her spare time teaching the writer.
【55题详解】
根据“Ms. Powell brought me out of my lonely world and my life improved.”可知,Powell老师把作者从孤独的世界中带出来,她的生活得到了改善。由此可推测,作者会对Powell老师表达感激之情。故填Thank you for bringing me to a new world.
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,语言流畅。
56. Emily felt l________ (孤独的) when her parents were on business trips.
【答案】(l)onely
【解析】
【详解】句意:当Emily的父母出差时,她感到孤独。“孤独的”用lonely,形容词作表语。故填(l)onely。
57. The sun p________ (提供) us with light and heat.
【答案】(p)rovides
【解析】
【详解】句意:太阳为我们提供光和热。句子时态是一般现在时,主语“The sun”(太阳)属于名词单数。在一般现在时里,主语为名词单数时,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。“provide”的第三人称单数形式是“provides”。“provide sb. with sth.”是固定搭配,意思是“给某人提供某物”,此句中“us”是“sb.”,“light and heat”是“sth.”,用“provides”符合该搭配。 故填 (p)rovides。
58. I made only a few small c________ (改变) to the report.
【答案】(c)hanges
【解析】
【详解】句意:我只对报告做了几处小改动。“改变”change,根据“a few”可知,其后应接可数名词复数形式。故填(c)hanges。
59. I want to have some cakes and l________ (躺) on the sofa.
【答案】(l)ie
【解析】
【详解】句意:我想吃些蛋糕并躺在沙发上。want to do sth“想要做某事”。分析句子结构可知,空处与“have”是并列关系,位于“want to”后,填动词原形。“躺”用lie,动词。故填(l)ie。
60. I was taking a bath when the light s________ (突然) went out.
【答案】(s)uddenly
【解析】
【详解】句意:当灯突然灭了的时候,我正在洗澡。空处修饰动词短语“went out”,填副词作状语。“突然”用suddenly。故填(s)uddenly。

Do you know what improv is? Improv is short for Improvised Theater. It’s a kind of performing art. Performers must come up with their performances on the spot (当场). It takes a quick mind.
In Beijing, there is a comedy club called the US-China Comedy Center, or USCCC. Anyone can enjoy improv there. The audience (观众) often takes part in improv shows. They will give the performers a random (任意的) topic. Performers must then joke about that topic. They have no time to prepare.
Performers may also have audience members perform together with them. For example, one audience member may work as the “hands” of one performer. The performer will tell a story. At the same time, the “hands” will make different gestures (手势).
In improv, it’s important to stay relaxed. If you worry too much about making up your words, you won’t do well.
Yan Jin is a 16-year-old Chinese girl. She takes improv classes at the USCCC. “I like the USCCC because it lets me experience different ways of acting and cultural communication.” said Yan.“I feel like improv has become a part of my life.”
39. What does the underlined word “improv” mean in Chinese?
A. 文化交流 B. 演讲比赛 C. 即兴表演 D. 手势表演
40. Who gives the topic to the performers?
A Foreigners. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. The audience.
41. It’s important for performers to ________.
A. make up their words B. keep relaxed C. keep silent D. prepare well
42. Why does Yan Jin like the USCCC?
A. Because she can help other performers.
B. Because she is good at making different gestures.
C. Because she can learn about acting and culture there.
D. Because she can make friends with audiences.
C
Humans have many organs (器官), but you can enjoy lots of things because of your ears. Do you know how the ears work?
The ear has three parts: the outer ear (外耳), the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sounds around you. The sounds then travel down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! In other words, your ears continue hearing sounds, but you can’t hear the sounds just because your brain ignores them.
But ears do more than hear. They help you keep balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled with liquid (液体) and covered with small hairs. When you move your head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send messages to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help to taste food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves (神经) running through the middle ear that connect the tongue (舌头) to the brain. If something happens to your ears, you might have a hard time telling different tastes.

This story happened to Brantley Harrison and her family. Living in South Carolina, the Harrisons often look after wild animals and send them back into the wild when they feel better. They are not expecting to meet these animals again.
One October, a wildlife rescue group found a 4-week-old dying squirrel (松鼠) and took her in and then placed her with Brantley and her family. The Harrisons named the squirrel Bella. The little squirrel, with three other ones, all lived together in a cage outside Brantley’s home. They stayed in the Harrisons’ cage until spring. In April of the next year, the Harrisons sent the squirrels back into the wild. The other squirrels soon got used to the wild life. But Bella didn’t. The squirrel wasn’t ready to leave her human family.

I was an eighth-grader without ever really learning how to read. I had no confidence and was afraid of being laughed at. Hopefully, an amazing teacher appeared.
After asking me to read aloud in class. Ms. Powell noticed my nervousness. She quickly let another student do the task and asked me if she could take me to the nurse’s office, saying that I looked a little pale. Even though I was not sick, I followed her.
Ms. Powell never knew reading was a challenge for her husband until two weeks before he passed away. She promised to teach him but he told her, “Teach someone who really needs you.” She looked for that person for some time.
Then she asked a little girl to read and discovered her problem. That girl was me. Meeting me in the hallway, she said, “I’m here to help solve your problem.” Shamefully, I told her I couldn’t read. “There is no need to feel sorry,” she said. She promised me that efforts could solve my problem. Over the course of the next year, Ms. Powell spent her spare time teaching me. It was difficult, but through many tears, I could finally read.
