“Want to go to the pool tomorrow?” Rosa asked Stephanie during break. The pool at the YMCA was one of their favourite places.
“Sorry. I’m already going to the pool,” Stephanie said. “Toni and Vanessa and I are going.” She smiled, but it wasn’t her nice smile. She walked away to join Toni and Vanessa, and Rosa was left standing alone.
After school, at dance class, Stephanie talked and laughed with the other dancers as they stretched (拉伸) in front of the mirror. Rosa wanted to join them, but she still felt too unhappy.
Then she noticed Kiara, the new girl, standing with one leg up on the barre. Rosa joined her and began stretching, too. Kiara smiled, and Rosa smiled back. Rosa tried not to check the mirror to see if Stephanie had noticed. I hope she feels left out, Rosa thought.
The next morning, when Rosa boarded the bus, Stephanie was sitting on their usual seat. Stephanie quickly moved her backpack off the seat to make room for Rosa. But Rosa walked past her and slid (滑动) into the empty seat next to Kiara. How does it feel now? Rosa thought.
On the bus ride, Rosa discovered that Kiara was not the quiet girl Rosa had thought she was. She talked a lot—about her little brother, about the tree house her uncle had built, and even about swimming. “I love swimming!” Rosa said. “Me, too,” Kiara said. “We just joined the YMCA. My dad said he’d take my brother and me tonight.”
“It’s wonderful there,” Rosa said. “Sometimes the lifeguards put giant floats in the pool to climb on and slide off. I want to have a pool party there for my birthday this year!”
“Maybe you can come with us tonight,” Kiara said. “I’ll ask my dad.”
“That would be fun. I’ll ask my mom,” said Rosa.
When they stepped off the bus, Stephanie was standing on the sidewalk. “Did you still want to go swimming tonight?” Stephanie asked Rosa.
Here’s my chance, Rosa thought. “I’m already going,” she said. “Kiara and I are going together.” She smiled. Somehow she knew it wasn`t her nice smile. There, she thought.
Stephanie nodded and looked at her feet.
Rosa’s heart went down and her cheeks(脸颊)began to burn.
Why didn’t she feel happy? Getting even is what she’d wanted, wasn’t it?
I could walk away with my new friend and not look back, Rosa thought. But it was too late. She had seen Stephanie’s face. Getting even didn’t feel the way she’d expected. It didn’t feel good at all. “Um,” she said, “maybe we could all go together.”
Stephanie brightened. “I’d like that.”
Rosa smiled. “Kiara, meet my friend Stephanie.”
31. How did Rosa feel when she knew Stephanie would go to the pool with others?
A. Happy and active. B. Sad and angry.
C. Lonely and unhappy. D. Afraid and surprised.
32. What does the underlined phrase “Getting even” mean in this passage?
A. Getting new friends and friendship.
B. Getting your old friends back.
C. Punishing friends for something they did to you.
D. Hurting friends’ feelings by doing something really bad.
33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Kiara had never been to YMCA.
B Rosa and Stephanie used to sit next to each other on the bus.
C. Rosa didn’t really want to make friends with Kiara.
D. Kiara had some friends in the school before she met Rosa.
【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲Rosa在好朋友Stephanie和别人一起去游泳后很不开心,便找了新朋友一起去游泳,Stephanie知道后主动求和,两人最终决定和大家一起去。

细节理解题。根据“but she still felt too unhappy.”及“and Rosa was left standing alone.”可知Stephanie和别人一起去游泳,Rosa感觉不开心和孤独。故选C。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Rosa’s heart went down and her cheeks began to burn. Why didn’t she feel happy? Getting even is what she’d wanted, wasn’t it?”及“Getting even didn’t feel the way she’d expected. It didn’t feel good at all. ‘Um,’ she said, ‘maybe we could all go together.’ ”可知告诉好朋友Stephanie自己有新朋友时,Rosa扳回一局,但她用这种方式惩罚了Stephanie之后并不感到很好。故“Getting even”是“惩罚了好朋友”的意思。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The next morning, when Rosa boarded the bus, Stephanie was sitting on their usual seat. Stephanie quickly moved her backpack off the seat to make room for Rosa.”可知Stephanie坐在她们通常坐位置,当Rosa经过时Stephanie为她移动位置,可见她们平时是坐在一起的。故选B。

The Forest Eye Project aims to create the largest living forest feature in England by growing 5,000 alder, beech and maple trees into the shape of a child’s eye. The trees are being planted in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, with the help of local young people. The trees will form an eye 300 metres wide that will be seen from the sky in about six years, when they have grown.
The project hopes to focus(聚焦)on the importance of young people’s ideas for creating a healthy, natural environment. ① It was designed by a company called Sand in Your Eye and has been created by Forestry England, an organization that protects forests and woodlands.
Josephine Lavelle, director at Forestry England, says, “Having the gaze(凝视)of a child growing in the heart of this beautiful and ever-changing forest is a powerful symbol of how we need to listen and reply to the needs and vision of future generations(代).” ②
③ As well as providing a home for wildlife, trees take in oxygen that humans need to breathe. When the trees have grown, they will provide a place for lots of wild animals, like bats, birds and small mammals, to live. The Forest Eye will also create a space for people to explore and connect with nature.
Jamie Wardley, artistic director at Sand in Your Eye, has plenty of experience creating pieces of “land art”. These are huge drawings and sculptures made from grass, ice and sand. He says the trees are his paint. ④ “Our work is about encouraging people to think deeply and reply emotionally to some of the biggest problems facing us, including the climate crisis(气候危机).”
Wardley also plans to develop the eye into an even bigger project. “We badly wanted to create the whole face of a young girl at the same scale, measuring 2,000 metres across. Those trees that are planted in the Forest Eye are the very beginning of this,” he says.
34. The most suitable place to put the sentence “The project also aims to highlight(强调)the important role that forests play in fighting climate change.” is ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
35. What can we learn about the project?
A. It is a huge child’s eye. B. It hopes to protect the forest.
C. It is made by local people. D. It pays attention to young people’s needs.
36. Which of the following words can best describe the Forest Eye Project?
A. Powerful. B. Meaningful. C. Practical. D. Surprising.
37. The writing purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to introduce what the project is about B. to explain why people do such a project
C. to describe how young people join the project D. to show how the project protects the environment
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. B 37. A

【详解】句意:请停止说话,伙计们。我听不清青年工作者在解释什么。根据“I can’t hear what the youth worker…”可知,因为周围有人一直在讲话,所以听不见那个年轻工作正在解释什么。根据语境,时态为现在进行时,从句主语“the youth worker”表示单数,be动词用is,explain的现在分词为explaining。故填is explaining。
47. —I really find it difficult to choose one between the two types.
—Don’t worry, madam. Both are made of silk and ________ (wash) easily.
【答案】wash
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我真的觉得在这两种类型里面选一种很难。——女士,不要担心。这两种都是由丝绸制成,也很容易洗涤。分析句子可知此处动词wash可用主动形式表示被动意义。结合语境,句子应用一般现在时,主语Both为复数意义,因此此空填入wash的原形。故填wash。
48. If you have trouble ________ (pronounce) these words, you can repeat until you are comfortable.

【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你发音有困难,你可以重复,直到你感到舒服。have trouble (in) doing sth“做某事有困难”,应用动名词形式。故填pronouncing。
49. Don’t you know it often takes your mother hours ________ (satisfy) your sweet tooth?
【答案】to satisfy
【解析】
【详解】句意:你难道不知道你妈妈常常要花好几个小时才能满足你对甜食的嗜好吗?根据“Don’t you know it often takes your mother hours…(satisfy) your sweet tooth?”可知,此处为固定结构it takes sb some time to do sth“花费某人时间做某事”,应用动词不定式。故填to satisfy。
50. I am sure he ________ (praise) for doing such a great job. Time can prove my words.
【答案】will be praised
【解析】
【详解】句意:我相信他会因为做得这么好而受到表扬的。时间可以证明我的话。根据“I am sure he…(praise) for doing such a great job. Time can prove my words.”可知,主语he与动词praise为被动关系,且时态为一般将来时,应用一般将来时的被动语态,其结构为will be done,praise的过去分词为praised。故填will be praised。
51. —May I speak to Jimmy?
—Sorry. He ________ (leave) the office. Can I take a message?
【答案】has left
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我可以和吉米讲话吗?——对不起。他已经离开办公室了。我能帮你留言吗?根据“He…(leave) the office. Can I take a message?”可知,这里表示Jimmy已经离开办公室现在不在场,需使用现在完成时,其结构为have/has+过去分词,主语为he,助动词用has,leave的过去分词为left。故填has left。
52. Sorry, I couldn’t hear your phone because the heavy rain ____ (beat) against the windows.
【答案】was beating

53. I have to leave early in the morning or I ________ (get) stuck in the traffic jam.
【答案】will get
【解析】
【详解】句意:我必须一大早就走,否则我会遇上交通堵塞。分析句子可知,此处“or”表示“否则”,后接可能发生的负面结果,需用一般将来时“will+动词原形”。故填will get。
六、阅读填空
先通读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
There are many other kinds of intelligence besides intellect, and one important type is emotional intelligence, called EQ for short. Some people have naturally good EQ skills. Meanwhile, many people need to work on them. The good news is that EQ is a combination of several different skills and everyone can get better, if they know what to do.
Be aware of your emotions. People feel many different emotions all day long. Some feelings like surprise, last just a few seconds. Others may stay longer, creating a mood like happiness or sadness. Noticing emotions helps you manage them. Practise recognizing emotions as you feel them. Saying to yourself “I feel thankful”, “I’m upset” in your mind would be a useful way to do that.
Manage emotional reactions. People all get angry, and everyone feels blue. Often, it’s more important to express how you feel. But managing your reaction means knowing when, where, and how to express yourself. When you’re able to manage emotions, you can self-control to hold in your feelings if now is not the right time or place to express them. Someone who has good EQ knows it can break relationships to react to emotions in a way that’s disrespectful or harmful.
Understand how others feel and why. People are naturally designed to try to notice others. Part of EQ is about being able to imagine others’ feelings in certain situations. It is also understanding why they feel the way they do. Being able to imagine what emotions a person is likely to be feeling is an important ability. It helps you care about others and build good relationships. You’ll also know what to say and how to behave around someone who is feeling strong emotions with it.
Tips for getting EQ better

【导语】本文主要介绍了情商的定义及其重要性,并提供了提高情商的方法。
【54题详解】
根据“The good news is that EQ is a combination of several different skills and everyone can get better, if they know what to do.”可知,EQ可以通过学习改善,应用动词improve表示“改善”,此处主语EQ和动词为被动关系,应用动词过去分词improved表示被动。故填improved。
【55题详解】
根据“Some feelings, like surprise, last just a few seconds. Others may stay longer, creating a mood like happiness or sadness. Noticing emotions helps you manage them.”可知,觉察情绪对管理情绪很重要,此处应用名词importance表示“重要性”。故填importance。
【56题详解】
根据“Manage emotional reactions. People all get angry, and everyone feels blue. Often, it’s more important to express how you feel. But managing your reaction means knowing when, where, and how to express yourself.…”可知,通常表达自己的感受很重要,但是管理自己的反应比表达更重要,此处缺少be动词,主语为动名词,be动词应用is。故填is。
【57题详解】
根据“Someone who has good EQ knows it can break relationships to react to emotions in a way that’s disrespectful or harmful.”可知,情商高的人知道,以一种不尊重或有害的方式对情绪做出反应可能会破坏人际关系,因此他们知道该如何恰当地表达,应用副词appropriately“恰当地”修饰动词express。故填appropriately。
【58题详解】
根据“People are naturally designed to try to notice others.”可知,人天生就被设计为会注意别人,此处应用动词过去分词designed表示“设计”。故填designed。

61. 难以想象你当时能如此决定,这是何等勇敢。

【答案】how brave you were to
【解析】
【详解】对比所给中英文可知,设空处为“你是何等勇敢”,how brave“何等勇敢”,you“你”,be“是”,根据“at that time”可知,此处应用一般过去时,be动词用were,空处为宾语从句,从句用陈述语序,be brave to do sth.“勇敢地做某事”,是固定搭配。故填how brave you were to。
62. 请告诉我你碰到生词就依赖词典有多久了,否则我没法帮你提高阅读能力的。

63. 我不知道那对外国夫妇何时习惯用筷子吃饭的。

【答案】got used to eating with chopsticks##were used to eating with chopsticks
【解析】
【详解】根据题干可知,空处缺少“习惯用筷子吃饭的”,应用短语be/get used to doing表示“习惯做某事”,此处时态为一般过去时,主语为复数,be动词用were,动词get的过去式为got;用动词eat表示“吃饭”;用with chopsticks表示“用筷子”。故填got used to eating with chopsticks/were used to eating with chopsticks。

“Want to go to the pool tomorrow?” Rosa asked Stephanie during break. The pool at the YMCA was one of their favourite places.
“Sorry. I’m already going to the pool,” Stephanie said. “Toni and Vanessa and I are going.” She smiled, but it wasn’t her nice smile. She walked away to join Toni and Vanessa, and Rosa was left standing alone.
After school, at dance class, Stephanie talked and laughed with the other dancers as they stretched (拉伸) in front of the mirror. Rosa wanted to join them, but she still felt too unhappy.
Then she noticed Kiara, the new girl, standing with one leg up on the barre. Rosa joined her and began stretching, too. Kiara smiled, and Rosa smiled back. Rosa tried not to check the mirror to see if Stephanie had noticed. I hope she feels left out, Rosa thought.
The next morning, when Rosa boarded the bus, Stephanie was sitting on their usual seat. Stephanie quickly moved her backpack off the seat to make room for Rosa. But Rosa walked past her and slid (滑动) into the empty seat next to Kiara. How does it feel now? Rosa thought.
On the bus ride, Rosa discovered that Kiara was not the quiet girl Rosa had thought she was. She talked a lot—about her little brother, about the tree house her uncle had built, and even about swimming. “I love swimming!” Rosa said. “Me, too,” Kiara said. “We just joined the YMCA. My dad said he’d take my brother and me tonight.”
“It’s wonderful there,” Rosa said. “Sometimes the lifeguards put giant floats in the pool to climb on and slide off. I want to have a pool party there for my birthday this year!”
“Maybe you can come with us tonight,” Kiara said. “I’ll ask my dad.”
“That would be fun. I’ll ask my mom,” said Rosa.
When they stepped off the bus, Stephanie was standing on the sidewalk. “Did you still want to go swimming tonight?” Stephanie asked Rosa.
Here’s my chance, Rosa thought. “I’m already going,” she said. “Kiara and I are going together.” She smiled. Somehow she knew it wasn`t her nice smile. There, she thought.
Stephanie nodded and looked at her feet.
Rosa’s heart went down and her cheeks(脸颊)began to burn.
Why didn’t she feel happy? Getting even is what she’d wanted, wasn’t it?
I could walk away with my new friend and not look back, Rosa thought. But it was too late. She had seen Stephanie’s face. Getting even didn’t feel the way she’d expected. It didn’t feel good at all. “Um,” she said, “maybe we could all go together.”
Stephanie brightened. “I’d like that.”
Rosa smiled. “Kiara, meet my friend Stephanie.”
31. How did Rosa feel when she knew Stephanie would go to the pool with others?
A. Happy and active. B. Sad and angry.
C Lonely and unhappy. D. Afraid and surprised.
32. What does the underlined phrase “Getting even” mean in this passage?
A. Getting new friends and friendship.
B. Getting your old friends back.
C. Punishing friends for something they did to you.
D. Hurting friends’ feelings by doing something really bad.
33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Kiara had never been to YMCA.
B. Rosa and Stephanie used to sit next to each other on the bus.
C. Rosa didn’t really want to make friends with Kiara.
D. Kiara had some friends in the school before she met Rosa.

The Forest Eye Project aims to create the largest living forest feature in England by growing 5,000 alder, beech and maple trees into the shape of a child’s eye. The trees are being planted in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, with the help of local young people. The trees will form an eye 300 metres wide that will be seen from the sky in about six years, when they have grown.
The project hopes to focus(聚焦)on the importance of young people’s ideas for creating a healthy, natural environment. ① It was designed by a company called Sand in Your Eye and has been created by Forestry England, an organization that protects forests and woodlands.
Josephine Lavelle, director at Forestry England, says, “Having the gaze(凝视)of a child growing in the heart of this beautiful and ever-changing forest is a powerful symbol of how we need to listen and reply to the needs and vision of future generations(代).” ②
③ As well as providing a home for wildlife, trees take in oxygen that humans need to breathe. When the trees have grown, they will provide a place for lots of wild animals, like bats, birds and small mammals, to live. The Forest Eye will also create a space for people to explore and connect with nature.
Jamie Wardley, artistic director at Sand in Your Eye, has plenty of experience creating pieces of “land art”. These are huge drawings and sculptures made from grass, ice and sand. He says the trees are his paint. ④ “Our work is about encouraging people to think deeply and reply emotionally to some of the biggest problems facing us, including the climate crisis(气候危机).”
Wardley also plans to develop the eye into an even bigger project. “We badly wanted to create the whole face of a young girl at the same scale, measuring 2,000 metres across. Those trees that are planted in the Forest Eye are the very beginning of this,” he says.
34. The most suitable place to put the sentence “The project also aims to highlight(强调)the important role that forests play in fighting climate change.” is ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
35. What can we learn about the project?
A. It is a huge child’s eye. B. It hopes to protect the forest.
C. It is made by local people. D. It pays attention to young people’s needs.
36. Which of the following words can best describe the Forest Eye Project?
A. Powerful. B. Meaningful. C. Practical. D. Surprising.
37. The writing purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to introduce what the project is about B. to explain why people do such a project
C. to describe how young people join the project D. to show how the project protects the environment
