Leek Town Warriors was a girls’ football team which used to get routinely defeated every time they turned out, until James Henry stepped in two years ago. He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes. With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.
Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on,” James said.
James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.
James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually, becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.
James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”
4. What was the situation of Leek Town Warriors before James Henry became the coach?
A. They often won games. B. They were defeated regularly.
C. They had a very strict coach. D. They trained hard every day.
5 The impact of the pandemic on the team can be seen as a turning point mainly because ______ .
A. it caused the team to lose their first-season games.
B. it made the players lose interest in football for a while.
C. it enhanced the team’s cohesion and basic skills.
D. it led to a shortage of training facilities and resources.
6. How many games has the team won in total since their first match of the new season?
A. 7. B. 8. C. 9. D. 30.
7. According to the passage, if James were to expand the team, what kind of players would he most likely need?
A. Players with outstanding individual skills regardless of their teamwork spirit.
B. Players who are highly competitive and have a strong desire to win at all costs.
C. Players who have prior experience in professional football leagues.
D. Players who are willing to work hard, have a passion for the game, and value teamwork.

As one of the world’s most popular cultural mediums, cinema got the most attention at the Taihu World Cultural Forum, an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. It is reported that the box office (票房) takings in China have been growing at an impressive rate in the past five years, which indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.
Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has the most cinema screens of any country, and the number is increasing steadily. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with more than 20countries, Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).
Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said that with the country’s huge home market he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.
Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the action film, in which plots are basically secondary to dazzling stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal, Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.
8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Cinema is the most important cultural medium in the world.
B. The box office in the US has been growing faster than that in China.
C. China’s movie market is developing rapidly.
D. The Taihu World Cultural Forum mainly focuses on cinema.
9. According to Stanley Tong, what is the significance of international corporation?
A. It helps Chinese filmmakers to learn advanced technology worldwide.
B. It can make Chinese stories known to the world and broaden the vision of creation.
C. It can increase the box office takings in China.
D. It can improve the quality of Chinese movies.
10. What kind of Chinese films does Yan Zhaozhu think are most likely to be popular globally?
A. Films that deal with global issues. B. Films with unique Chinese cultural elements.
C. Action films with amazing stunts. D. Films that reflect Chinese history and traditions.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Rise of China’s Movie Market B. International Coproduction in Cinema
C. Chinese Films: From Home to Abroad D. The Future of Chinese Action Films
D
Physical education (PE) isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school life isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that millions of kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Doing no sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. Most of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’ s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (PCSFN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used extra time for study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
12. What can be inferred from many teens’ insufficient physical exercise?
A. Modern entertainment forms have overshadowed the value of physical exercise in the eyes of teens.
B. Schools should completely replace traditional PE classes with digital-based fitness programs.
C. The popularity of video games and computer activities is mainly due to a lack of sports facilities.
D. Teens are intentionally avoiding physical exercise because they find it less exciting than digital entertainment.
13. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Measured. B. Prevented. C. Shown. D. Caused.
14. According to the PCSFN, doing sports ______ .
A. helps students do better in their studies.
B. helps students make good use of all their time.
C. makes students choose between sports and studies.
D. makes students lose interest in academic performance.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. How high school students can live a better life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C Why some schools don’t offer students physical education.
D. Why high school students should have physical education.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have hisbreakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?" Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter. David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!" Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,”he whispered. He had spelledit wrong.
“What am I to do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie". Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.

Leek Town Warriors was a girls’ football team which used to get routinely defeated every time they turned out, until James Henry stepped in two years ago. He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes. With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.
Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on,” James said.
James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.
James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually, becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.
James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”
4. What was the situation of Leek Town Warriors before James Henry became the coach?
A. They often won games. B. They were defeated regularly.
C. They had a very strict coach. D. They trained hard every day.
5. The impact of the pandemic on the team can be seen as a turning point mainly because ______ .
A. it caused the team to lose their first-season games.

D. it led to a shortage of training facilities and resources.
6. How many games has the team won in total since their first match of the new season?

7. According to the passage, if James were to expand the team, what kind of players would he most likely need?

As one of the world’s most popular cultural mediums, cinema got the most attention at the Taihu World Cultural Forum, an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. It is reported that the box office (票房) takings in China have been growing at an impressive rate in the past five years, which indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.
Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has the most cinema screens of any country, and the number is increasing steadily. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with more than 20countries, Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).
Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said that with the country’s huge home market he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.
Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the action film, in which plots are basically secondary to dazzling stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal, Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.
8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Cinema is the most important cultural medium in the world.
B. The box office in the US has been growing faster than that in China.
C. China’s movie market is developing rapidly.
D. The Taihu World Cultural Forum mainly focuses on cinema.
9. According to Stanley Tong, what is the significance of international corporation?
A. It helps Chinese filmmakers to learn advanced technology worldwide.
B. It can make Chinese stories known to the world and broaden the vision of creation.
C. It can increase the box office takings in China.
D. It can improve the quality of Chinese movies.
10. What kind of Chinese films does Yan Zhaozhu think are most likely to be popular globally?
A. Films that deal with global issues. B. Films with unique Chinese cultural elements.
C. Action films with amazing stunts. D. Films that reflect Chinese history and traditions.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Rise of China’s Movie Market B. International Coproduction in Cinema
C. Chinese Films: From Home to Abroad D. The Future of Chinese Action Films
【答案】8 C 9. B 10. A 11. C

Physical education (PE) isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school life isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that millions of kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Doing no sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. Most of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’ s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (PCSFN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used extra time for study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
12. What can be inferred from many teens’ insufficient physical exercise?
A. Modern entertainment forms have overshadowed the value of physical exercise in the eyes of teens.
B. Schools should completely replace traditional PE classes with digital-based fitness programs.
C. The popularity of video games and computer activities is mainly due to a lack of sports facilities.
D. Teens are intentionally avoiding physical exercise because they find it less exciting than digital entertainment.
13. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Measured. B. Prevented. C. Shown. D. Caused.
14. According to the PCSFN, doing sports ______ .
A. helps students do better in their studies.
B. helps students make good use of all their time.
C. makes students choose between sports and studies.
D. makes students lose interest in academic performance.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. How high school students can live a better life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C. Why some schools don’t offer students physical education.
D. Why high school students should have physical education.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D

词句猜测题。根据划线词前“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者去年夏天游览成都的经历,涵盖熊猫基地、古街等景点及感受。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:进入基地,我立刻被可爱的熊猫吸引了。此空为非谓语动词作状语,enter与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词entering 作状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Entering。
【37题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:一些熊猫舒服地躺在阴凉处,而另一些则在进行有趣的活动。while连接两个并列的句子,根据前一句“Some pandas were lying comfortably in the shade”可知,此处时态应用过去进行时,其结构为“was/were +现在分词”,主语others 指代其他熊猫,是复数,所以用were engaging。故填were engaging。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这真的是一场视觉盛宴,它的可爱给我留下了深刻的印象。此处修饰整个句子,作状语,应用副词 truly,意为 “真正地”。故填truly。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个在熊猫保护中发挥重要作用的基地,为游客提供了一个接近这些珍贵动物的绝佳机会。此处为非谓语动词作定语,修饰名词chance,根据固定短语a chance to do sth.,意为 “做某事的机会”,所以用动词不定式to get作后置定语。故填to get。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:这条街道有着传统的四川风格建筑,到处都是五颜六色的灯笼和各种各样的商店。此处修饰名词architecture,应用形容词性物主代词its,意为 “它的”。故填its。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:让这次体验更加特别的是有机会观看一场川剧表演。此处作watch的宾语,根据不定冠词a可知,应用名词performance,意为 “表演”,a Sichuan opera performance意为“一场川剧表演”。故填performance。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它展示了变脸的神奇,让观众感到惊讶。此处为“leave sb.+形容词”结构,意为“让某人处于某种状态”,所以此处使用astonish的形容词astonished 作宾语补足语,意为“感到惊讶的”符合句意。故填astonished。
【43题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:它让我明白了“成都,一座来了就不想离开的城市” 这句话的真正含义。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作understand的宾语,从句中means 缺少宾语,且指物,所以用连接代词what 引导宾语从句,意为 “…… 的事情”。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这座城市,人们友好,生活节奏缓慢,给我留下了深刻的印象。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语和宾语,所以使用关系副词,先行词为The city,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:我已经在期待再次访问这座神奇的城市了。根据固定短语 a visit to…,意为“对……的访问”,所以此处用介词to。故填to。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have hisbreakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?" Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter. David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!" Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,”he whispered. He had spelledit wrong.
“What am I to do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie". Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get100 percent on the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr.White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us, ” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
