His voice ________ as if he has a cold. A. sounds B. listens C. hears D. seems 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他的声音听起来好像感冒了。 考查动词辨析。sounds听起来；listens听，强调动作；hears听，强调结果；seems似乎。结合语境和“His voice”可知，此空应填系动词“sounds”，后面接as if引导的表语从句，表示对主语“His voice”所表现的特征、状态或性质作出的反应及判断。故选A。 2. Tree Planting Day is ________ March every year. A. at B. in C. to D. on 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：植树节在每年三月。 考查时间介词辨析。in在（用于年、月、季节等前 ）；at在（用于具体时刻前 ）；to到；向 ；on在（用于具体某一天前 ）。“March”是月份，在月份前应该用介词“in”。故选B。 3. Two ________ teachers and ________ students took part in a meeting last week. A. hundreds; thousand of B. hundred; thousand C. hundreds of; thousands of D. hundred; thousands of 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：两百名老师和数千名学生上周参加了一个会议。 考查数词的用法。“hundred”、“thousand”等数词，当与具体数字连用时，用单数形式，且不与“of”连用，所以“两百名老师”应表达为“two hundred teachers”，据此可排除A、C选项；当表示不确切数目时，用复数形式，且要与“of”连用，“数千名学生”应表达为“thousands of students”，B选项不符合此用法。故选D。 4. She couldn’t help __________ when she heard the bad news.

A. good; well B. good; good C. well; good D. well; well 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为我们化学老师工作很努力。他教我们教得很好。——是的，但是他今天没来。他身体不舒服。 考查形容词辨析。good好的，形容词；well好，副词；well（身体）好的，形容词。第一空修饰动词teaches，应该用副词well；第二空在系动词feel后，应该用形容词，根据前文“but he hasn't come today”，可推测老师是身体不舒服，应该用well，故选D。 6. —________ have you been in the USA? —For five years. A. How often B. How soon C. How long D. How far 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你在美国待了多久？——五年了。 考查疑问词组辨析。How often多久一次；How soon 多久以后；How long 多长时间；How far 多远。根据答语“For five years.”，这是一段时间，对一段时间提问应该用“How long”。故选C。 7. —May I speak to Tom? —Sorry, he ________ America. But he ________ in two days.

I have heard of it ________.

After his father died in 1970, five-year-old Arnel had to work in a small shop to help his family. The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finally sent him to a nearby public school. “I was happy to study but my life became harder because I had to wake up earlier to do all my jobs before I went to school,” says Arnel. Worn down by all the work, he was ready to give up by the time he reached the fifth grade. Then his teacher’s words changed his life and made him study harder.” Arnel finished high school at the top of his class, received a scholarship (奖学金) from the Philippine Normal University in Manila and got a degree in education in 1985. He took a job teaching math at a Manila private school and did volunteer teaching at the school’s adult class in the evening. “The adults were from poor families and had to work when they were very young,” he explains. “It was touching to see how they tried to get a high school education at their age. As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his job and returned to Rosario. “My goal was to educate street children for free.” He began holding classes under a large tree. Slowly, more and more street children became interested in his teaching. “I taught them the basics of reading, writing and math, ” says Arnel. He worked harder, walking to nearby villages, where he would give classes in parks or on playgrounds. To make ends meet, he began teaching children from rich families. In June this year, Arnel borrowed a bicycle with a large sidecar from a neighbour. The sidecar holds a small wooden desk, textbooks and school supplies, and a blackboard set to the front bears Arnel’s words: “Education can be found anywhere. It is a road to progress.” The bicycle allows Arnel to visit faraway areas. He sets up an outdoor classroom and invites teenagers to his class three days a week. Many of the children have been out of school for years. Arnel also offers adult education to help out-of-school young people learn high school lessons. He does not receive any money but accepts school supplies and food for the students. He says, “I want to bring education to as many children and adults as possible. Everyone should have a chance.” 24. Who decided Arnel should go to school at first? A. His mother. B. He himself. C. His teacher. D. The government. 25. Why did Arnel return to his hometown to teach the street children? A. Because there were no schools in his hometown. B. Because he didn’t want to teach rich children only. C. Because he considered it his duty to help the poor. D. Because the country’s education should be improved. 26. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Teacher on Wheels B. Classes for the Poor C. Road to Progress D. Students in the Street 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Arnel Laparan从童年艰苦求学，到接受教育、工作，最终回到家乡免费为街头儿童和成人提供教育的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finally sent him to a nearby public school.”可知，是Arnel自己坚持要上学，妈妈才送他去学校的。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his job and returned to Rosario. ‘My goal was to educate street children for free.’”可知，Arnel回到家乡教街头儿童是因为他觉得帮助贫困学生是他的使命。故选C。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要围绕Arnel骑着带有边车（载着教学用具）的自行车，奔波于各地为贫困儿童和成人授课展开，“Teacher on Wheels”（车轮上的老师）形象地体现了他的教学方式和特点。故选A。 C What's your pain telling you? Is that pain you feel in your back, neck or shoulders just a short ache from your new exercise menu? Or is there something deeper and more serious at work? Either way, you decide not to pay attention to it. "Pain is a warning system; it tells us that something is wrong" says Bradford Butler, a doctor. "Continual pain goes further. It is telling you that a whole system in your body isn't working right. " For many people and their doctors, the first reaction for pain, and sometimes the second and third reactions as well, is to take some painkillers and go on your way. "That doesn't solve the problem, " Butler says. "Too often, with back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain or other continual pain, many doctors focus on reducing(减少) the pain rather than finding out the cause. " Imagine this，you wake up midnight with an unbearable toothache，and then visit a doctor who discovers a huge cavity(空洞)but, instead of repairing the cavity, just gives you some powerful medicine for the pain and sends you home.“Left untreated，the pain would get worse and the damage to the tooth would worsen，leading to bigger and more expensive medical process later on，”Butler says. Butler offers some advice for those whose bodies are trying to warn them that something is wrong Choose your doctor wisely. Blind faith (信任) in any doctor is not the answer. Butler says, " Doctors have their own specialty and make sure you find someone who will really help you with your problem. " Don't let your body resetting its pain level fool you. What happens when you let the pain go? Your body adapts (适应) . Butler says, "When your body gets used to the pain, you think the problem must be gone. While in reality, your body's pain setting has been raised. The only time you're feeling pain is when you're already in terrible poor condition. " Think of prevention. Dental (牙科的) patients are encouraged to have regular check-ups, whether they're in pain or not, so the doctor can work on potential (潜在的)problems. "That's the way for other pain," Butler says. "Being free of symptoms( 症状)doesn't mean you don't have big problems. It just means that you don't know they're developing. " " We need to listen to our pain and fix whatever is wrong as soon as possible, " Butler says. " You won't get better until you find the cause of the problem. " 27. Bradford Butler probably believes that . A. reducing the pain is the most important B. finding out the cause of pain is too easy C taking some painkillers can solve the problems D. continual pain warns you that something is seriously wrong 28. In Paragraph 5 , the writer wants to tell us . A. medical process is not cheap B. getting fully treated is necessary C. repairing the cavity is very difficult D. powerful medicine is the best solution 29. What can we know from the passage? A. Staying in terrible condition makes us fool. B. Having regular check-ups is only for dental patients. C. Finding the cause of the pain will make us healthier. D. Choosing a wise doctor is important from beginning to end. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C 【解析】 【分析】疼痛意味着什么呢？Bradford Butler医生说“疼痛是身体的警告，它告诉我们有些不对的事。持续的疼痛是在告诉我们身体的整个系统出现了问题。”一些人遇到疼痛想到的就止痛，但是这并不能从根本上解决问题，反而会让问题变得更严重。对此Butler给出了几个建议。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据"Pain is a warning system; it tells us that something is wrong," says Bradford Butler, a doctor. "Continual pain goes further. It is telling you that a whole system in your body isn't working right. "可知Bradford Butler认为持续的疼痛是提示你的身体出了问题。故选D。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Left untreated，the pain would get worse and the damage to the tooth would worsen，leading to bigger and more expensive medical process later on，”Butler says.以及此段举牙痛例子可知牙痛如果不修复牙痛，只会让牙痛更严重，而且随后的治疗费用可能更高。以此例说明，出现疼痛一定要经过充分的治疗，不然只是止痛是没用的。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据You won't get better until you find the cause of the problem.可知直到你找到病因才会变好。故选C。 D On 20 July 1969, the world celebrated an important moment in history when American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, became the first man to walk on the moon, making a giant leap for humanity. For more than 50 years, human beings have tried many times to understand the space environment. These efforts have paid off. Today, we are in a better position to understand our universe in which we live, thanks to space exploration. Space exploration has triggered advances in science and technology which have benefitted humans and improved the quality of life on Earth. These benefits are related to space technology such as satellite communications, global positioning system(GPS) and weather forecasting. The development of satellite technology, for instance, makes telecommunications possible, connecting people from different parts of the world through satellite television, phones, radio and Internet access. Today, space technology also enables us to have virtual (虚拟的) meetings and lessons, making work and study from home possible during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology. In countries such as America, Canada and Europe, space exploration has also generated jobs in fields related to engineering, technology and science. Even if interested youngsters do not end up in a job in these areas, space technology enriches their imagination about the possibility of life beyond Earth and space travel. To this end, space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring (激励) people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration. Although there are many benefits, space exploration has often been criticized (批评)for its high cost. According to the University of Florida, it costs about $500 million to launch (发射) a space shuttle and many argue that this money could be better spent on solving the problems on Earth such as hunger, pollution, diseases and climate change. Although space exploration cannot directly provide immediate solutions to these problems, it generates many useful technologies and new knowledge in sciences necessary to improve the conditions of human life on Earth. Every year, about a thousand innovations in the space programmes find their way into earthly technology that leads to better farming; better medical instruments; and more energy-efficient vehicles(交通工具). As a result, the money spent on space exploration does finally benefit human beings. There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet where humans can live. 30. The words “triggered advances” in Paragraph 2 probably mean” ________” . A. led to great progress B. slowed down the speed C. set back future growth D. caught up the development 31. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The benefits created by space exploration. B. The high-tech jobs generated by space exploration. C. The imaginative art works inspired by space exploration. D. The abilities youngsters developed through space exploration. 32. According to the writer, the money spent on space exploration ________. A. solves the worst problems on Earth directly B. benefits humans through space programmes C. fails to improve the conditions of human life D. limits the development of earthly technology 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce technology programmes in space exploration. B. To compare different jobs generated by space exploration. C. To present the benefits brought by space exploration. D. To encourage people to carry on space exploration. 【答案】30. A 31. A 32. B 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太空探索引发了科学技术的进步，造福了人类，提高了地球上的生活质量。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“which have benefitted humans and improved the quality of life on Earth”（造福人类，提高地球上的生活质量）可知太空探索引发了科学技术的进步，所以“triggered advances”和“led to great progress”同义，故选A。 【31题详解】 段落大意题。根据“With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology.”以及“To this end, space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring (激励) people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration”可知第三段主要讲述了太空探索带来的好处。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“...this money could be better spent on solving the problems on Earth such as hunger, pollution, diseases and climate change. Although space exploration cannot directly provide immediate solutions to these problems, it generates many useful technologies and new knowledge in sciences necessary to improve the conditions of human life on Earth.”可知作者认为，花在太空探索上的钱通过太空计划使人类受益。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet where humans can live.”（毫无疑问，太空探索给人类带来了许多好处。它还鼓励许多人以更深入方式了解地球和宇宙。在接下来的十年里，我们可以继续期待更多令人兴奋的发现。我们甚至可能最终找到另一个人类可以居住的星球。）可推知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们进行太空探索。故选D。 第II卷（非选择题 共20分） 四、阅读表达（每小题2分，共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Strength training, a type of exercise, is used to build strength, power, and endurance (耐力). Many adults do strength training, but is it safe and useful for children? People used to think that strength training was not useful and even dangerous for children, possibly causing injuries that could affect their growth. However, the latest study shows that strength training does improve children’s overall health. When children do strength training, they get stronger as their muscles (肌肉) grow! The strength training can most likely make them better, faster and stronger. “It is so beneficial for their bodies, like their bones, joints and metabolic (新陈代谢的) health,” says Becca Rigg, a professional trainer at a fitness center. She knows all about the positive effects of strength training. She takes her kids to strength workouts two to three times per week. “I also love the message teenagers receive when exercising this way: They may feel more confident when they finish such hard and tiring training. It is also rewarding for them to see results. They are, indeed, getting stronger while having a better image,” explains Rigg, “Sometimes they make strength training part of their life and it’s easier for them to get involved in the training later.” How do kids get started? Just like other activities, it is very important to learn the correct way to do it. For strength training, it is a must to learn from an experienced coach because the coach can make sure children do movements safely and correctly. In the early stage, it is best for teens to simply use their body weight, such as doing push-ups and squats. Bodyweight movements can then be made more difficult by adding equipment or weights, for example, a barbell or dumbbells. So, let’s cheer our kids on as they lift, pull, and push their way to a stronger future. With our support and care, they’ll grow up ready to take on whatever life throws at them. 34. What does the latest study show about strength training? ___________________________________________________________________________ 35. How often does Becca Rigg take her kids to strength workouts? ___________________________________________________________________________ 36. Why is it a must to learn from an experienced coach? ___________________________________________________________________________ 37. As a teenager, would you like to make strength training part of your life? Why? (Please give two reasons.) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】34.

After his father died in 1970, five-year-old Arnel had to work in a small shop to help his family. The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finally sent him to a nearby public school. “I was happy to study but my life became harder because I had to wake up earlier to do all my jobs before I went to school,” says Arnel. Worn down by all the work, he was ready to give up by the time he reached the fifth grade. Then his teacher’s words changed his life and made him study harder.” Arnel finished high school at the top of his class, received a scholarship (奖学金) from the Philippine Normal University in Manila and got a degree in education in 1985. He took a job teaching math at a Manila private school and did volunteer teaching at the school’s adult class in the evening. “The adults were from poor families and had to work when they were very young,” he explains. “It was touching to see how they tried to get a high school education at their age. As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his job and returned to Rosario. “My goal was to educate street children for free.” He began holding classes under a large tree. Slowly, more and more street children became interested in his teaching. “I taught them the basics of reading, writing and math, ” says Arnel. He worked harder, walking to nearby villages, where he would give classes in parks or on playgrounds. To make ends meet, he began teaching children from rich families. In June this year, Arnel borrowed a bicycle with a large sidecar from a neighbour. The sidecar holds a small wooden desk, textbooks and school supplies, and a blackboard set to the front bears Arnel’s words: “Education can be found anywhere. It is a road to progress.” The bicycle allows Arnel to visit faraway areas. He sets up an outdoor classroom and invites teenagers to his class three days a week. Many of the children have been out of school for years. Arnel also offers adult education to help out-of-school young people learn high school lessons. He does not receive any money but accepts school supplies and food for the students. He says, “I want to bring education to as many children and adults as possible. Everyone should have a chance.” 24. Who decided Arnel should go to school at first? A. His mother. B. He himself. C. His teacher. D. The government. 25. Why did Arnel return to his hometown to teach the street children? A. Because there were no schools in his hometown. B. Because he didn’t want to teach rich children only. C. Because he considered it his duty to help the poor. D. Because the country’s education should be improved. 26. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Teacher on Wheels B. Classes for the Poor C. Road to Progress D. Students in the Street C What's your pain telling you? Is that pain you feel in your back, neck or shoulders just a short ache from your new exercise menu? Or is there something deeper and more serious at work? Either way, you decide not to pay attention to it. "Pain is a warning system; it tells us that something is wrong," says Bradford Butler, a doctor. "Continual pain goes further. It is telling you that a whole system in your body isn't working right. " For many people and their doctors, the first reaction for pain, and sometimes the second and third reactions as well, is to take some painkillers and go on your way. "That doesn't solve the problem, " Butler says. "Too often, with back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain or other continual pain, many doctors focus on reducing(减少) the pain rather than finding out the cause. " Imagine this，you wake up midnight with an unbearable toothache，and then visit a doctor who discovers a huge cavity(空洞)but, instead of repairing the cavity, just gives you some powerful medicine for the pain and sends you home.“Left untreated，the pain would get worse and the damage to the tooth would worsen，leading to bigger and more expensive medical process later on，”Butler says. Butler offers some advice for those whose bodies are trying to warn them that something is wrong Choose your doctor wisely. Blind faith (信任) in any doctor is not the answer. Butler says, " Doctors have their own specialty and make sure you find someone who will really help you with your problem. " Don't let your body resetting its pain level fool you. What happens when you let the pain go? Your body adapts (适应) . Butler says, "When your body gets used to the pain, you think the problem must be gone. While in reality, your body's pain setting has been raised. The only time you're feeling pain is when you're already in terrible poor condition. " Think of prevention. Dental (牙科的) patients are encouraged to have regular check-ups, whether they're in pain or not, so the doctor can work on potential (潜在的)problems. "That's the way for other pain," Butler says. "Being free of symptoms( 症状)doesn't mean you don't have big problems. It just means that you don't know they're developing. " " We need to listen to our pain and fix whatever is wrong as soon as possible, " Butler says. " You won't get better until you find the cause of the problem. " 27. Bradford Butler probably believes that . A. reducing the pain is the most important B. finding out the cause of pain is too easy C. taking some painkillers can solve the problems D. continual pain warns you that something is seriously wrong 28. In Paragraph 5 , the writer wants to tell us . A. medical process is not cheap B. getting fully treated is necessary C. repairing the cavity is very difficult D. powerful medicine is the best solution 29. What can we know from the passage? A. Staying in terrible condition makes us fool. B. Having regular check-ups is only for dental patients. C. Finding the cause of the pain will make us healthier. D. Choosing a wise doctor is important from beginning to end. D On 20 July 1969 the world celebrated an important moment in history when American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, became the first man to walk on the moon, making a giant leap for humanity. For more than 50 years, human beings have tried many times to understand the space environment. These efforts have paid off. Today, we are in a better position to understand our universe in which we live, thanks to space exploration. Space exploration has triggered advances in science and technology which have benefitted humans and improved the quality of life on Earth. These benefits are related to space technology such as satellite communications, global positioning system(GPS) and weather forecasting. The development of satellite technology, for instance, makes telecommunications possible, connecting people from different parts of the world through satellite television, phones, radio and Internet access. Today, space technology also enables us to have virtual (虚拟的) meetings and lessons, making work and study from home possible during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology. In countries such as America, Canada and Europe, space exploration has also generated jobs in fields related to engineering, technology and science. Even if interested youngsters do not end up in a job in these areas, space technology enriches their imagination about the possibility of life beyond Earth and space travel. To this end, space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring (激励) people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration. Although there are many benefits, space exploration has often been criticized (批评)for its high cost. According to the University of Florida, it costs about $500 million to launch (发射) a space shuttle and many argue that this money could be better spent on solving the problems on Earth such as hunger, pollution, diseases and climate change. Although space exploration cannot directly provide immediate solutions to these problems, it generates many useful technologies and new knowledge in sciences necessary to improve the conditions of human life on Earth. Every year, about a thousand innovations in the space programmes find their way into earthly technology that leads to better farming; better medical instruments; and more energy-efficient vehicles(交通工具). As a result, the money spent on space exploration does finally benefit human beings. There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet where humans can live. 30. The words “triggered advances” in Paragraph 2 probably mean” ________” . A. led to great progress B. slowed down the speed C. set back future growth D. caught up the development 31. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The benefits created by space exploration. B. The high-tech jobs generated by space exploration. C. The imaginative art works inspired by space exploration. D. The abilities youngsters developed through space exploration. 32. According to the writer, the money spent on space exploration ________. A. solves the worst problems on Earth directly B. benefits humans through space programmes C. fails to improve the conditions of human life D. limits the development of earthly technology 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce technology programmes in space exploration. B. To compare different jobs generated by space exploration. C. To present the benefits brought by space exploration. D. To encourage people to carry on space exploration. 第II卷（非选择题 共20分） 四、阅读表达（每小题2分，共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Strength training, a type of exercise, is used to build strength, power, and endurance (耐力). Many adults do strength training, but is it safe and useful for children? People used to think that strength training was not useful and even dangerous for children, possibly causing injuries that could affect their growth. However, the latest study shows that strength training does improve children’s overall health. When children do strength training, they get stronger as their muscles (肌肉) grow! The strength training can most likely make them better, faster and stronger. “It is so beneficial for their bodies, like their bones, joints and metabolic (新陈代谢的) health,” says Becca Rigg, a professional trainer at a fitness center. She knows all about the positive effects of strength training. She takes her kids to strength workouts two to three times per week. “I also love the message teenagers receive when exercising this way: They may feel more confident when they finish such hard and tiring training. It is also rewarding for them to see results. They are, indeed, getting stronger while having a better image,” explains Rigg, “Sometimes they make strength training part of their life and it’s easier for them to get involved in the training later.” How do kids get started? Just like other activities, it is very important to learn the correct way to do it. For strength training, it is a must to learn from an experienced coach because the coach can make sure children do movements safely and correctly. In the early stage, it is best for teens to simply use their body weight, such as doing push-ups and squats. Bodyweight movements can then be made more difficult by adding equipment or weights, for example, a barbell or dumbbells. So, let’s cheer our kids on as they lift, pull, and push their way to a stronger future. With our support and care, they’ll grow up ready to take on whatever life throws at them. 34.
