A
Tea is the second most popular drink in the world. Earlier, people used make tea in large pots, even when they just needed one cup. This led to a waste of tea and that was where the tea bag came in.
The tea bag was invented in 1980 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He once sent out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. So they were not happy when Sullivan started to send them loose (散装) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In1952, Lipton made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags soon became popular and widely used in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
Although it’s more convenient to use a tea bag than brew (沏) tea leaves when you want to make a cup of tea, many people still like loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very goo tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
26. The first paragraph wants to tell us ________.
A. a story of the tea bag B. why the tea bag was invented C. how to make tea
27. Why did people like the tea in silk bags?
A. Because it was cheap.
B. Because silk bags looked more beautiful.
C. Because the tea tasted good and the cups were easy to wash.
28. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Invention of Tea B. The History of Tea Bags C. The Famous Tea in the World
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了茶包的发展历史。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“...This led to a waste of tea and that was where the tea bag came in.”可知,过去人们煮茶的方式造成了茶叶的浪费,所以茶包就应运而生,故第一段主要介绍了发明茶包的原因。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup.”可知,人们认为丝绸袋装的茶叶味道很好,而且很容易清洗杯子,所以人们很喜欢。故选C。

One day, his mother prepared a delicious meal. She put some beef, rice and carrots in front of him when they were having dinner. “I want you to eat all your food now,” she said. “Don’t leave anything.” Philip only ate the rice and the carrots without touching the beef.
“You’re such a silly boy!” said his father angrily. “I’m sorry, Mum and Dad,” said Philip.“I don’t want you to be angry. But I really don’t want to eat meat.” “Then have some fish, dear,” said his mother. “Oh, no! Fish are living creatures (生物) too,” cried Philip.

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第1段“They thought he was a boy who was growing. If he didn’t have meat, he wouldn’t grow tall.”可知,Philip的父母对他的决定感到不满,认为不吃肉会影响他的成长。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第1段“If he didn’t have meat, he wouldn’t grow tall.”可知,Philip的父母认为不吃肉会导致他长不高。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章内容,事件顺序为:首先,文中开头就说“When he was 12, he decided to give up eating meat”,这是③Philip决定不吃肉;接着“One day, his mother prepared a delicious meal”,这是①母亲准备饭菜;然后“‘Then have some fish, dear,’ said his mother.”,这是⑤母亲建议吃鱼;再然后“The next morning Philip was very hungry. His father walked to the school with him.”,这是②父亲送Philip上学;最后“He asked the teacher...”,这是④父亲与老师交谈。所以正确的顺序是③①⑤②④。故选C。
【32题详解】

C
In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫) and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies (敌人). The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to live, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night. Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts (行为)? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
33. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because ________.
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high C. locusts can change their colors
34. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. insects with colors B. butterflies and bees C. soil insects
35. The ink fish ________ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black C. comes out only at night
36. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Some insects and animals have different skills.
B. Some insects and animals are cleverer than we think.
C. Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.
【答案】33. C 34. A 35. B 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了昆虫和动物如何通过改变颜色或利用环境颜色来保护自己免受天敌的侵害。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第2段“it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them ... The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops.”可知,鸟类难以捕捉蝗虫是因为蝗虫的颜色会随着庄稼的颜色而变化。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to live, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night.”可知,颜色与植物不同的昆虫容易被发现并被吃掉,为了生存,它们不得不在白天隐藏,只在夜间出来。由此可知“they”指代的是“颜色与植物不同的昆虫”。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第3段“The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world.”可知,海里的墨鱼在面临危险时会喷出黑色墨汁。随着墨汁扩散,它的敌人会突然发现自己处于黑暗之中。由此可知,墨鱼通过喷墨使周围水域变黑来隐藏自己。故选B。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。全文通过蝗虫、棕熊、老虎、北极熊、蝴蝶、蜜蜂、土壤昆虫和墨鱼等例子,说明昆虫和动物如何利用颜色保护自己。因此,文章的主旨是“一些昆虫和动物利用颜色保护自己”。故选C。

40. How to keep safe in a car.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了乘坐汽车时的一些安全规则,如系安全带、坐在后座以及乘车时的注意事项等。
【37题详解】
根据前文提到乘坐汽车和公交车有危险,以及下文介绍的安全规则,可知这里是学习汽车和公交车的“安全”规则,第一个空填safety;根据“these rules helps you keep safe during a car trip.”可知,“遵守这些规则能帮助你在汽车旅行中保持安全”,“遵守”用follow/obey,这里作主语,需用动名词形式following/obeying,故填safety;Following/Obeying。
【38题详解】
“幸运的是”翻译为luckily,副词修饰整个句子;“保持安全”是stay safe,“做某事不是很困难”用it’s not very difficult to do sth.结构,句子首字母需要大写。故填Luckily, it’s not so difficult to keep safe.
【39题详解】
根据文章第3段“Children 12 years old and younger need to be sitting in the back.”可知,12岁及以下的孩子应该坐在后座,故填In the back seat.
【40题详解】
文章围绕乘坐汽车时的各种安全规则展开,所以主要内容是关于汽车安全规则,故填It’s mainly about the rules of car safety.

句意:令大家吃惊的是,戴维睁开了眼睛。to one’s surprise令某人吃惊,句子开头首字母大写,故填To。
【55题详解】
句意:戴夫的父母如此的激动以至于他们不能相信那是真的。so+形容词+that+从句,表示“如此……以至于……”,故填so。

【答案】例文:
Dear Nate,
I’m glad to know that you are interested in Datong. Datong is a wonderful place that provides tourists with unique experiences. Last week, my parents and I made a trip to Datong.
On the first day, we visited the Yungang Grottoes. I was surprised at it! I wondered how people built it in ancient times. After that, we went to the Datong Coal Museum. Datong is known as the “Coal Capital of China”, and visiting the museum allowed us to learn a lot about coal. On the second day, we climbed Mount Hengshan, one of the “Five Great Mountains”, and took many photos. After going down the mountain, we went to a famous local restaurant to taste local food. Shanxi Sliced Noodles and Fried Boiled Pork with Black Fungus are my favourites.
Datong gave me lots of surprises during my two-day stay. I hope that one day we can travel there together.
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Tea is the second most popular drink in the world. Earlier, people used make tea in large pots, even when they just needed one cup. This led to a waste of tea and that was where the tea bag came in.
The tea bag was invented in 1980 by Thomas Sullivan an American tea seller. He once sent out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. So they were not happy when Sullivan started to send them loose (散装) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In1952, Lipton made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags soon became popular and widely used in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
Although it’s more convenient to use a tea bag than brew (沏) tea leaves when you want to make a cup of tea, many people still like loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very goo tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
26. The first paragraph wants to tell us ________.
A. a story of the tea bag B. why the tea bag was invented C. how to make tea
27. Why did people like the tea in silk bags?
A. Because it was cheap.
B. Because silk bags looked more beautiful.
C. Because the tea tasted good and the cups were easy to wash.
28. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Invention of Tea B. The History of Tea Bags C. The Famous Tea in the World
B
Philip is a pupil. When he was 12, he decided to give up eating meat because he thought animals also lived on the earth just like humans. ________ They thought he was a boy who was growing. If he didn’t have meat, he wouldn’t grow tall.
One day, his mother prepared a delicious meal. She put some beef, rice and carrots in front of him when they were having dinner. “I want you to eat all your food now,” she said. “Don’t leave anything.” Philip only ate the rice and the carrots without touching the beef.
“You’re such a silly boy!” said his father angrily. “I’m sorry, Mum and Dad,” said Philip.“I don’t want you to be angry. But I really don’t want to eat meat.” “Then have some fish, dear,” said his mother. “Oh, no! Fish are living creatures (生物) too,” cried Philip.
The next morning Philip was very hungry. His father walked to the school with him. He asked the teacher, “Is this what you teach the students to do at school? Philip refuses to eat meat at home. He even doesn’t listen to us.” “I don’t agree with Philip,” said the teacher. “But I think he’s brave to do what he thinks is right. We teach the students to do that.”
29. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 1?
A. Philip’s friends also had such a habit.

In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫) and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies (敌人). The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to live, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night. Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts (行为)? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
33. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because ________.
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high C. locusts can change their colors
34. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. insects with colors B. butterflies and bees C. soil insects
35. The ink fish ________ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black C. comes out only at night
36. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Some insects and animals have different skills.
B. Some insects and animals are cleverer than we think.
C Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.
