Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her. “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don’t?” “What do you mean?” “Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?” It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing. “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.” 34. The passage is mainly about . A. Tom made a promise to be a loving husband and father B. Tom had a happy and relaxing vacation with his family C. There was one thing that went wrong during the vacation D. Tom’s wife thought that she would be dying soon 35. During the vacation, Tom showed more love to his wife because . A. he was determined to be a good husband B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm C. she looked lovely in her new clothes D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill 36. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that . A. he is just beginning to get along well with his wife B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change D. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wife before 37.

Tom felt very relaxed and happy during the vacation 【答案】34. A 35. A 36. B 37. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Tom 在去度假海滩小屋的路上，决定在两周假期里努力做一个体贴有爱的丈夫和父亲。在度假过程中，他努力践行承诺，和家人度过了轻松愉快的时光，但最后一晚妻子 Evelyn 却以为自己快死了，因为 Tom 对她太好了，原来 Tom 之前比较自私，现在的改变让妻子产生了误解。汤姆告诉妻子，她不会死，他们才刚刚开始。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕 Tom 承诺在度假的两周里做一个有爱的丈夫和父亲展开，讲述了他的践行过程以及其中发生的事，A 选项“Tom 承诺做一个有爱的丈夫和父亲”最能概括文章主旨。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world. Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs of our planet” because it produces 20%of the world’s oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees. These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings. 42. This passage is mainly about ________. A. kinds of forest B. where rainforests are C. facts about rainforests D. how much oxygen rainforests make 43. The Amazon Rainforest provides us with ________ percent of the world’s oxygen. A. twenty B. twenty-five C. fifty D. eighty 44. Where can we probably find a tropical rainforest according to the passage? A. In France. B. In China. C. In Canada. D. In Britain. 45. Which is the right picture to show four different levels of trees in a rainforest? A. B. C. D. 【答案】42. C 43. A 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【分析】本文主要介绍热带雨林的一些情况，包括最大的热带雨林，雨林的用途以及热带雨林的分层。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了热带雨林的一些情况，故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs of our planet” because it produces 20% of the world’s oxygen.”可知，亚马逊雨林为我们提供了世界上20%的氧气，故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands.”可知，热带雨林分布在非洲、亚洲、中南美洲、澳大利亚和太平洋岛屿上，中国属于亚洲，所以我们可能在中国能找到热带雨林，故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer…The under storey is the dark, cool environment…The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees.

The film Hi, Mom is popular enough to catch people’s attention.（保持句意基本不变） Hi, Mom is ________ a popular film ________ it catches people’s attention, 【答案】 ①. such ②. that 【解析】 【详解】句意：电影《你好，李焕英》很受欢迎，足以吸引人们的注意力。根据原句可知受欢迎的结果是吸引了很多人的注意力，结合“... a popular film ... it catches people’s attention”可知要用such ... that ... 表示“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。故填such；that。 63. It is really great fun to fly kites on windy and bright days.（改为感叹句） ________ ________ fun it is to fly kites on windy and bright days! 【答案】 ①. What ②. great 【解析】 【详解】根据题干要求，可改成what引导的感叹句，it是句子的主语，主语前面的名词 fun是不可数名词，所以感叹句用what，其结构是what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语。故填What；great。 64. An Italian man called Marco Polo wrote about China first in his book．（改为被动语态） China ________ first ________ about by an Italian man called Marco Polo in his book. 【答案】 ①. was ②. written 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个叫马克·波罗的意大利人在他的书中第一次提到了中国。根据“wrote”及题干要求可知，要变成一般过去时被动语态，用was/were done的结构，主语China看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式，write的过去分词是written，故填was；written。 65. We'd like to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC by holding a speech contest.（对划线部分提问） ________ ________ you like to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC? 【答案】 ①.

It is the pride of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger to the world. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. According to The World Counts, between 2001 and 2019, the world lost a total of 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42 percent went to paper production. That represents a great part of the world’s forests. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot keep such a high rate of forest Loss. The second great problem with paper is that when the paper is used, it is useless. A great deal of wastepaper ends up in rubbish and even landfills (废物填埋场)，where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world. One simple way to help out can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle used paper to meet the need of paper-making. Effective recycling requires an effort from everyone all over the world. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be put into use. The need is real. The loss of trees influences everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it! Topic: The invention of paper is the ____66____ of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger. Two great ____67____ Paper making causes the loss of forests. ●42 percent of trees cut down were used to ____68____paper. ●In the next 40 years we’ll use ____69____as much paper as that of today. Wastepaper causes the release of a kind of harmful gas. ●Used paper is no longer ____70____and becomes rubbish, and even goes to landfills. ●The gas is an important factor that ____71____climate change all around the world. One simple way to ____72____ the problem ●We should ____73____cutting down trees and recycle used paper to meet the need of paper making. ●To start recycling we should educate people and make them ____74____. ●More effective recycling systems can be carried out. Suggestions ●Everyone should take part in recycling paper. ●Government and industry should be _____75_____to do the same. 【答案】66. pride 67. problems 68. produce##make 69. twice 70. useful 71. causes 72. solve 73. stop##avoid 74. understand 75. encouraged 【解析】 【分析】本文主要讲述了生产纸需要大量的树木，随着用纸量增加，森林会随之减少，同时会对环境造成影响，文中提出通过回收利用废纸来解决遇到的问题。 【66题详解】 根据第一段中“It is the pride of us Chinese”可知，纸的发明是我们中国人的骄傲。故填pride。 【67题详解】 根据第三段中“The second great problem...”可知，文中提到了两个重大问题，此处使用problem的复数形式。故填problems。 【68题详解】 根据第二段中“Of the trees that were cut down, 42 percent went to paper production”可知，在被砍伐的树木中，有42% 用于造纸，produce和make均表示“生产，制造”；sth. be used to do sth.某物被用来做某物，所以使用动词原形。故填produce/make。 【69题详解】 根据第二段中“ And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years.”可知，全世界的纸张使用量预计在未来40年内翻一番，也就是现在的两倍，twice两倍。故填twice。 【70题详解】 根据第三段中“...when the paper is used, it is useless...”可知，纸被用过以后就没有用了，useful有用的，be no longer useful不再有用。故填useful。 【71题详解】 根据第三段中“ Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world.”可知，垃圾填埋场的废纸会释放甲烷，甲烷是导致全球气候变化的一个重要因素；cause是动词，句中时态为一般现在时，that代指an important factor，所以动词使用第三人称单数。故填causes。 【72题详解】 根据表格右侧内容可知，回收利用废纸张是解决问题的一个简单途径；solve是动词，one simple way to do sth.做某事的一个简单方法或一种简单途径。故填solve。 【73题详解】 根据倒数第二段中“ Instead of cutting down trees...”可知，此处是停止砍树或者避免砍树，stop/avoid doing sth.停止/避免做某事，情态动词should后接动词原形。故填stop/avoid。 【74题详解】 根据倒数第二段中“ The way to begin is with education and understanding.”可知，要教育人们，让他们理解，understand是动词，意为“理解”，make sb. do sth.让某人做某事，此处使用动词原形。故填understand。 【75题详解】 根据最后一段中“Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same.”可知，每个人都应该尽自己的一份力量回收纸张，并鼓励政府和企业也这样做。根据题目中should be可知，此处使用动词encourage过去分词，构成含情态动词的被动语态，表示“政府和企业被鼓励去做同样的事情”。故填encouraged。 七、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Most students have had a love-hate experience relationship with procrastination(拖延症). We all come up with magic ways to bring ourselves moments of joy to relieve our stress and productivity. When deadlines come near, though these moments of lost time often become regrettable. Here are tips to help you reduce this age-old practice. Set goals Students often procrastinate because they think that they can put off the work for a while and enjoy their time at the moment. This thought is likely to worsen the situation, though, when the deadline becomes one day away and the task has yet to be started. In order to stay on track, you should set and update goals. It can be important to mark all deadlines in a planner and think about how much time you need to meet them all. Reward yourself In order to keep productivity and mind levels up set breaks at the end of a period of time or once you finish a section of your work. Then you can reward yourself with some deserved, planned, and controlled activities: have a coffee with a friend, cook, or watch an episode of television show. Breaks like these are proven to increase productivity and keep you focused, and they will make the process of studying much more bearable! Turn off the Internet If you do not need the Internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notifications while completing your work. The same goes for your cell phone; you can take a break from being connected to the Internet world in order to do your school work. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set times when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected. Have something to look forward to Being productive for all hours of every day does not work—you do need breaks. So, in order to balance productivity and entertainment, plan time to go out with friends or do something relaxing to complement your school work. Ideally, social and relaxation plans should be made for after an important task is completed. This way, while you are working, you can keep in mind that once you have finished your work, you can go out and not worry about your work. 请将答案写在答题卡上 76.

So I did a survey among the students in our school. The result shows that 55% of the students like reading e-books. These students think paper books are heavy and expensive while e-books are easier to carry and much cheaper. They can read a large number of e-books online. It’s also easy for them to search or save e-books. While others think differently. 30% of the students still love reading paper books. They think it’s easy to take notes on the books while reading. They think paper books can be sent to friends as gifts but e-books. And they also think reading e-books has a bad effect on the students’ eyes. 15% of the students think it is OK to read both of them. In my opinion, it’s not important whether to read e-books or paper books.

I’m really poor at learning English and I just need some advice to improve my speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Please help! I feel like I’m going mad! Any advice? DISCUSSION 31. What is Julie’s advice? A. Getting a pen friend. B. Watching some English films. C. Reading English newspapers. D. Joining an English Speaking Club. 32. Who is poor at learning English grammar? A. Julie. B. Li Lei. C. Betty. D. Sam. 33. Where can Zhao Xin find a pen friend? A. At school. B. In the newspaper. C. On the Internet. D. In the English Speaking Club. B I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her. “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don’t?” “What do you mean?” “Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?

In an ancient Chinese story, Zhu Rong had the face of a man and the body of an animal. H rode on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the god of water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness.

The name symbolizes（象征）light and hope for space exploration（探索）in our country, and means to guide humans to continue exploration.” After leaving the earth last summer, Zhu Rong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May. In recent years, our country has sent up the world’s first quanturn satellite（量子卫星）, and Chang’e-4 has made a soft landing on the moon. We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station. 38. What Zhu Rong brought from heaven to the world was ________.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world. Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs of our planet” because it produces 20%of the world’s oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees. These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings. 42. This passage is mainly about ________. A. kinds of forest B. where rainforests are C. facts about rainforests D. how much oxygen rainforests make 43. The Amazon Rainforest provides us with ________ percent of the world’s oxygen.

It is the pride of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger to the world. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. According to The World Counts, between 2001 and 2019, the world lost a total of 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42 percent went to paper production. That represents a great part of the world’s forests. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot keep such a high rate of forest Loss. The second great problem with paper is that when the paper is used, it is useless. A great deal of wastepaper ends up in rubbish and even landfills (废物填埋场)，where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world. One simple way to help out can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle used paper to meet the need of paper-making. Effective recycling requires an effort from everyone all over the world. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be put into use. The need is real The loss of trees influences everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!

We all come up with magic ways to bring ourselves moments of joy to relieve our stress and productivity. When deadlines come near, though these moments of lost time often become regrettable. Here are tips to help you reduce this age-old practice. Set goals Students often procrastinate because they think that they can put off the work for a while and enjoy their time at the moment. This thought is likely to worsen the situation, though, when the deadline becomes one day away and the task has yet to be started. In order to stay on track, you should set and update goals. It can be important to mark all deadlines in a planner and think about how much time you need to meet them all. Reward yourself In order to keep productivity and mind levels up, set breaks at the end of a period of time or once you finish a section of your work. Then you can reward yourself with some deserved, planned, and controlled activities: have a coffee with a friend, cook, or watch an episode of television show. Breaks like these are proven to increase productivity and keep you focused, and they will make the process of studying much more bearable! Turn off the Internet If you do not need the Internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notifications while completing your work. The same goes for your cell phone; you can take a break from being connected to the Internet world in order to do your school work. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set times when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected. Have something to look forward to Being productive for all hours of every day does not work—you do need breaks. So, in order to balance productivity and entertainment, plan time to go out with friends or do something relaxing to complement your school work. Ideally, social and relaxation plans should be made for after an important task is completed. This way, while you are working, you can keep in mind that once you have finished your work, you can go out and not worry about your work. 请将答案写在答题卡上 76.
