I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 28. Why did the writer go to the woods at the beginning of the story? A. To pick up pecans. B. To catch little animals. C. To feed the squirrels. D. To look for his grandpa. 29. Which of the following can best describe Grandpa? A. Kind and wise. B. Caring and humorous. C. Shy and friendly. D. Patient and hard-working. 30. What is the possible ending to the story? A. The writer sent the pecans to his neighbors. B. The writer put all the pecans back into the hole. C. The writer hid the pecans in his grandpa’s house. D. The writer enjoyed all the pecans with his family. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在祖父的农场里采摘山核桃的经历。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。 根据“I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later.”可知，作者去树林的目的是为了捡山核桃。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.”以及“That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?”可知，祖父通过温和的方式教育作者，表现出他的善良和智慧。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.”可知，作者感到内疚，并意识到自己应该把山核桃还给松鼠。因此，最可能的结局是作者将山核桃放回树洞。故选B。 C If you argue with your friend, will you forgive (原谅) him or her? Most people are more likely to forgive others. Scientists from famous universities like Yale and Oxford studied this. They discovered that most people usually believe others are good deep down, even after they do something wrong. And when these “bad people” do something nice later, people will probably let go of their past mistakes and have a positive opinion of them. To test this idea, scientists did an experiment. They asked over 1,500 people to watch two strangers. These strangers could get money if they shocked (电击) another person with electricity. The “good” stranger refused the deal and the “bad” one accepted it. The watchers were then asked to judge (评价) the strangers based on their decisions. They reported having a positive feeling of the “good”stranger. But they were not confident that the “bad” stranger was truly bad. If they then saw the bad person do something good, they were more likely to have a better opinion of him or her. The researchers believe that it is human nature to see the best in others. Most people are more likely to believe someone is innocent (无辜的), rather than guilty. For example, if a classroom window is broken and your friend was the only one nearby, you might say “Maybe it was an accident.” rather than blaming him, “You broke it!” It's important to forgive and believe in people, because it helps us build and keep healthy social relationships. Think about it: sometimes people make mistakes or act badly by accident. If we immediately judge them unkindly and end the relationship, we might be wrong. What if we later find out they are actually a kind person who just had a bad day? We could lose a valuable friend or partner. Being open to forgiveness gives people a second chance and helps us keep important relationships. 31. How did the watchers feel about the “bad” stranger after the experiment? A. They had no idea why the stranger did the bad thing. B. They weren’t sure if the stranger was bad deep down. C. They had a strong feeling that the stranger was bad. D. They disliked the bad stranger but liked the good one. 32. What can we learn from the passage? A People’s trust may change because of other’s new actions. B. Being open to forgiveness helps us to accept mistakes. C. People should forgive if others didn’t mean to harm. D. People naturally choose to believe in others’ goodness. 33. Which of the following best matches the study results? A. If a friend lies to you, you will never speak to him again. B. If a friend breaks your toy but later fixes it, you can forgive him. C. If a friend refuses to help you, you won’t help him the next time. D. If a friend breaks your trust, you will never believe their words. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家通过实验发现人们倾向于相信他人本质是善良的，即使他人做了错事，当他们之后有好的行为时，人们更可能原谅他们，并且原谅他人有助于建立和保持良好的社会关系。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The watchers were then asked to judge (评价) the strangers based on their decisions. They reported having a positive feeling of the “good” stranger. But they were not confident that the “bad” stranger was truly bad.”可知，观察者对“好”陌生人有积极的感受，而对于“坏”陌生人，他们并不确信其本质是坏的，所以实验后观察者对“坏”陌生人的看法是他们不确定这个陌生人本质上是否是坏的。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They discovered that most people usually believe others are good deep down, even after they do something wrong.”以及“The researchers believe that it is human nature to see the best in others. Most people are more likely to believe someone is innocent (无辜的), rather than guilty.”可知，研究发现大多数人通常相信他人内心是善良的，人们天生倾向于看到他人好的一面，更愿意相信他人是无辜的，而不是有罪的，这表明人们自然地选择相信他人的善良。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“And when these “bad people” do something nice later, people will probably let go of their past mistakes and have a positive opinion of them.”以及“Being open to forgiveness gives people a second chance and helps us keep important relationships.”可知，当那些被认为做了坏事的人后来做了好事时，人们可能会放下他们过去的错误，并对他们有积极的看法，因此B选项“如果一个朋友弄坏了你的玩具，但后来又修好了，你可以原谅他。”最符合研究结果。故选B。 D Does happiness matter? People have different opinions. Some think there are more important things to worry about, while others believe happiness is what everyone wants in life. To understand this, we first need to understand what happiness really means. Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s more than just a short moment of smiles or laughter. Instead, happiness is how we feel about our lives overall. Every day, we feel many different emotions. For example, feelings like fear and anger help protect us from danger, while happy feelings like joy and hope help us make friends and solve problems. Being happy doesn’t mean we should never feel sad or angry. Everyone has difficult times, and it’s normal (正常的) to have these feelings. True happiness means enjoying good times while also learning to deal with hard times. Research shows happiness plays an important role in success. Some might think happy people are less hardworking, but research shows the opposite is true. They actually perform (表现) better in their jobs, maintain better health, and build stronger relationships. In one study at Warwick University, scientists put participants (参与者) into two groups. The first group watched a happy, funny video while the second group watched a normal video. After watching, both groups did the same office task. The results showed that the first group did their tasks 11% better than the second one. Other researchers have found similar results. For example, business researchers studied companies for many years and found that companies with happier workers always did better in the market. Also, when scientists followed young people for many years, they saw that those who were happier in childhood usually were more successful when they grew up than those who were less happy. One of the reasons is that happiness can wake up the control center in children’s brains, to help weigh options more clearly, like choosing “study first, play later” instead of wasting time. In other words, happiness may lead to success, not just come from it. Of course, happiness doesn’t solve all problems. Happy people still have difficulties, and not all happy people are successful. But happiness does make life better in many ways. In the end, happiness is more than just a feeling. It helps us succeed, makes society stronger, and gives life its real meaning. 34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Happiness is not only a moment of joy. B. What the true meaning of happiness is. C. It is natural to have different feelings. D. Happiness is about people’s feelings. 35. What does the expression “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Happiness is good for relationships. B. Hard work makes people successful. C. Happy people could do better work. D. Success leads to better health. 36. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Happy workers did 11% more work than less happy ones. B. A happy childhood can ensure a happier life in adulthood. C. Happiness makes people overcome the bad feelings. D. Happiness can help people make better decisions. 37. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss different people’s ideas about happiness. B. To compare happy people with others in research. C. To tell us that success is the key to happiness. D. To show that happiness is important for success. 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. D 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了幸福的意义以及幸福与成功的关系。 【34题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s more than just a short moment of smiles or laughter.

They believe robotic animals will become more and more important in the future. Hopping is very hard work, but kangaroos never seem to get tired when they hop. A German technology company built a robotic kangaroo and it can hop like the real kangaroo. From watching the robotic kangaroo, they can learn more about using energy efficiently (高效地) to move. Scientists hope to learn from these robotic animals to help them improve movement technologies. By making robotic animals, scientists also hope that they can use them to help people do very difficult jobs. They built a special robotic crab to dig underwater and search for things. They made it like a crab because crabs are so good at controlling their movements. People are also using robotic snakes, which can go in any direction and move easily into small spaces. Some robotic animals are already helping people in their everyday lives. Robotic dogs can now carry things for people, open their doors for them and even load (装载) their dishwashers! Scientists have made many different kinds, and they can go and be with groups of the same kind of animal. The robotic animals have cameras inside, so they can help people learn more about how those animals live. And because the robotic animal looks the same as the other animals, they are not afraid to stay near it. Robotic animals are already beginning to do very useful things, and scientists think that in the future we will find many new ways to help us. They are working on robotic bees to pollinate (授粉) plants. What’s more, they even try to make robotic pets for people who are allergic (过敏) to animal hair. Who knows what other robotic animals we will find in our homes and on our streets in fifty years’ time! 38. What did the German technology company build? ________________________________________________________ 39. Why do the scientists make robotic animals? ________________________________________________________ 40. What can the robotic dogs do for people in their everyday lives? ________________________________________________________ 41. Would you like to have a robotic animal? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________ 【答案】38. A robotic kangaroo. 39. To help people do difficult jobs and improve movement technologies. 40. They can carry things, open doors and load dishwashers. 41. Yes, I would like to have a robotic animal because it can help me with daily tasks and make my life more convenient. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家们已经制造出了多种机器人动物，如昆虫、鸟类、狗甚至袋鼠，并探讨了这些机器人动物在未来可能发挥的重要作用。 【38题详解】 根据“A German technology company built a robotic kangaroo and it can hop like the real kangaroo.”可知，一家德国科技公司制造了一只机器人袋鼠。故填A robotic kangaroo. 【39题详解】 根据“Scientists hope to learn from these robotic animals to help them improve movement technologies.”和“By making robotic animals, scientists also hope that they can use them to help people do very difficult jobs.”可知，通过制造机器人动物，科学家们希望帮助他们改进运动技术，还希望它们能帮助人们完成非常困难的工作。故填To help people do difficult jobs and improve movement technologies. 【40题详解】 根据“Robotic dogs can now carry things for people, open their doors for them and even load (装载) their dishwashers!”可知，机器人狗在日常生活中可以为人们搬运东西、开门，甚至装载洗碗机。故填They can carry things, open doors and load dishwashers. 【41题详解】 开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I would like to have a robotic animal because it can help me with daily tasks and make my life more convenient. 第四部分：书面表达（22分） 八、根据句意和音标填写单词。（每小题1分，共4分） 42.

B Plunk! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 28. Why did the writer go to the woods at the beginning of the story? A. To pick up pecans. B. To catch little animals. C. To feed the squirrels. D. To look for his grandpa. 29. Which of the following can best describe Grandpa? A. Kind and wise. B. Caring and humorous. C. Shy and friendly. D. Patient and hard-working. 30. What is the possible ending to the story? A. The writer sent the pecans to his neighbors. B. The writer put all the pecans back into the hole. C. The writer hid the pecans in his grandpa’s house. D. The writer enjoyed all the pecans with his family. C If you argue with your friend, will you forgive (原谅) him or her? Most people are more likely to forgive others. Scientists from famous universities like Yale and Oxford studied this. They discovered that most people usually believe others are good deep down, even after they do something wrong. And when these “bad people” do something nice later, people will probably let go of their past mistakes and have a positive opinion of them. To test this idea, scientists did an experiment. They asked over 1,500 people to watch two strangers. These strangers could get money if they shocked (电击) another person with electricity. The “good” stranger refused the deal and the “bad” one accepted it. The watchers were then asked to judge (评价) the strangers based on their decisions. They reported having a positive feeling of the “good”stranger. But they were not confident that the “bad” stranger was truly bad. If they then saw the bad person do something good, they were more likely to have a better opinion of him or her. The researchers believe that it is human nature to see the best in others. Most people are more likely to believe someone is innocent (无辜的), rather than guilty. For example, if a classroom window is broken and your friend was the only one nearby, you might say “Maybe it was an accident.” rather than blaming him, “You broke it!” It's important to forgive and believe in people, because it helps us build and keep healthy social relationships. Think about it: sometimes people make mistakes or act badly by accident. If we immediately judge them unkindly and end the relationship, we might be wrong. What if we later find out they are actually a kind person who just had a bad day? We could lose a valuable friend or partner. Being open to forgiveness gives people a second chance and helps us keep important relationships. 31. How did the watchers feel about the “bad” stranger after the experiment? A. They had no idea why the stranger did the bad thing. B. They weren’t sure if the stranger was bad deep down. C. They had a strong feeling that the stranger was bad. D. They disliked the bad stranger but liked the good one. 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. People’s trust may change because of other’s new actions. B. Being open to forgiveness helps us to accept mistakes. C. People should forgive if others didn’t mean to harm. D. People naturally choose to believe in others’ goodness. 33. Which of the following best matches the study results? A. If a friend lies to you, you will never speak to him again. B. If a friend breaks your toy but later fixes it, you can forgive him. C. If a friend refuses to help you, you won’t help him the next time. D. If a friend breaks your trust, you will never believe their words. D Does happiness matter? People have different opinions. Some think there are more important things to worry about, while others believe happiness is what everyone wants in life. To understand this, we first need to understand what happiness really means. Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s more than just a short moment of smiles or laughter. Instead, happiness is how we feel about our lives overall. Every day, we feel many different emotions. For example, feelings like fear and anger help protect us from danger, while happy feelings like joy and hope help us make friends and solve problems. Being happy doesn’t mean we should never feel sad or angry. Everyone has difficult times, and it’s normal (正常的) to have these feelings. True happiness means enjoying good times while also learning to deal with hard times. Research shows happiness plays an important role in success. Some might think happy people are less hardworking, but research shows the opposite is true. They actually perform (表现) better in their jobs, maintain better health, and build stronger relationships. In one study at Warwick University, scientists put participants (参与者) into two groups. The first group watched a happy, funny video while the second group watched a normal video. After watching, both groups did the same office task. The results showed that the first group did their tasks 11% better than the second one. Other researchers have found similar results. For example, business researchers studied companies for many years and found that companies with happier workers always did better in the market. Also, when scientists followed young people for many years, they saw that those who were happier in childhood usually were more successful when they grew up than those who were less happy. One of the reasons is that happiness can wake up the control center in children’s brains, to help weigh options more clearly, like choosing “study first, play later” instead of wasting time. In other words, happiness may lead to success, not just come from it. Of course, happiness doesn’t solve all problems. Happy people still have difficulties, and not all happy people are successful. But happiness does make life better in many ways. In the end, happiness is more than just a feeling. It helps us succeed, makes society stronger, and gives life its real meaning. 34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Happiness is not only a moment of joy. B. What the true meaning of happiness is. C. It is natural to have different feelings. D. Happiness is about people’s feelings. 35. What does the expression “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Happiness is good for relationships. B. Hard work makes people successful. C. Happy people could do better work. D. Success leads to better health. 36. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Happy workers did 11% more work than less happy ones. B. A happy childhood can ensure a happier life in adulthood. C. Happiness makes people overcome the bad feelings. D. Happiness can help people make better decisions. 37. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss different people’s ideas about happiness. B. To compare happy people with others in research. C. To tell us that success is the key to happiness. D To show that happiness is important for success. 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（每小题2分，共8分） Robotic animals Scientists have already made amazing robot (机器人) animals, like insects, birds, dogs and even kangaroos.
