一、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分;满分40分)
第一节 阅读下面语言材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向). Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared (敢) to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles(绕圈子) and hoped that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid(避免) giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply(回答). But just as I walked only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at first sight.
1.The writer always refuses(拒绝) to give people directions because ________.
A.she is a stranger to the city B.she doesn’t know the people
C.she has no time to help others D.she’s afraid of giving wrong directions
2.The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ________.
A.lives B.studies C.works D.plays

A.The writer is too shy to give others directions.
B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction.
C.The writer never got lost when she was young.
D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文作者讲述了自己方向感很差,所以从来不敢给别人指路,当人们问路的时候,她就会说她也是陌生人。但是有一次一个人问的是她工作的地方,她还是像以前那样回答,当两个人再见面的时候,作者感到非常的尴尬。
1.推理判断题。根据“Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向). Unluckily, I am one of them. ”以及“So I try to avoid(避免) giving people wrong directions.”可知,作者经常拒绝给别人指路是因为她自己方向感很差,怕给别人指错了路。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据“Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply(回答). But just as I walked only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building”可知,友谊大厦是作者工作的地方。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“Imagine how embarrassed I was”以及上文可知,当那个人向作者问路的时候,作者像往常一样说自己不认识路。但是事实上那个地方是作者工作的地方,因此当他们再见面的时候,作者会感到非常的尴尬。embarrassed“尴尬的”,故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据“Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向). Unluckily, I am one of them. ”可知,作者的方向感很差,故选B。
B
Do you know why the Earth is called the “Blue Planet”? Because up to 70% of its surface is covered by water! However, there are still millions of people who have to walk for over half an hour to get clean water. Why is it so difficult for them to get clean water? Will we run out of water one day?
Most of the water on Earth is too salty for us to use. In fact, only 2.5% of the water on our planet is fresh water. However, we are not able to use all of it. For example, we can’t get the fresh water in rocks deep underground. In the end, the fresh water that we can use is only about 0.007% of the water on Earth!
Luckily, our planet is very good at holding on water. When water turns into water vapour, it doesn’t run off into space. Since the atmosphere (大气层) is very cold, the water vapour freezes and falls back to the ground.
The amount of fresh water on Earth stays about the same. However, the number of people on this planet is growing quickly. So, more and more people won’t get clean water. If we don’t change the way we use water, this problem will become even worse in the future.
5.Water covers about ________ of the Earth according to the passage.
A.one half B.one third
C.two thirds D.two fifths
6.Why is it difficult for people to get clean water?
A.Because we are able to use salty water.
B.Because clean water turns into water vapour.
C.Because fresh water on the ground is hard to get.
D.Because there is not much fresh water in the world.
7.The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.the way we use water
B.the growing number of people
C.more people can’t get clean water
D.fresh water remaining as much as always
8.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To explain what water cycle is.
B.To call on people to save water.
C.To share interesting facts about water.
D.To introduce new ways to get fresh water.
【答案】5.C 6.D 7.C 8.B
【导语】本文通过介绍地球上有限的淡水资源,号召人们节约用水。
5.推理判断题。根据第一段“Because up to 70% of its surface is covered by water!”可知,水大约占地球的三分之二,故选C。
6.细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, only 2.5% of the water on our planet is fresh water.”可知,人类很难得到清洁的水是因为世界上的淡水并不多,故选D。
7.词句猜测题。根据“So, more and more people won’t get clean water.”可知,这里的“this”指的是,越来越多的人得不到干净的水。故选C。
8.推理判断题。阅读全文并根据“If we don’t change the way we use water, this problem will become even worse in the future.”可知,文章的目的是号召人们节约用水,故选B。

Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
9.Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A.Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B.Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C.Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D.Let me give you some food and drinks!
10.Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A.Some plants can talk to people.
B.Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C.Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D.Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
11.What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A.Produce food with other plants.
B.Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C.Send food to or take food from other plants.
D.Connect the roots of different plants.
12.Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A.To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B.To help plants grow better.
C.To build a bigger web for plants.
D.To improve plants’ talking system.
【答案】9.A 10.C 11.D 12.B
【导语】本文主要讲述了植物之间如何通过化学物质和声音进行交流,以及科学家如何研究这些交流方式以帮助植物更好地生长。
9.词句猜测题。根据“This is like a warning, or a call for help.”可知,当昆虫正在吃植物的叶子时,植物会从叶子中释放化学物质,这就像是一个警告或求救信号。所以选项A“小心!昆虫正在吃我的叶子!”最能代替“Mayday, mayday!”。故选A。
10.细节理解题。根据“When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help.”可知 ,一些动物如蝙蝠可以听到植物的声音,并会来帮助它们。所以选项C“一些动物可以理解植物的声音”是正确的。故选C。
11.细节理解题。根据“The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground.”可知,植物使用“木质广域网”来连接不同植物的根部,并在地下形成网络。所以选项D“连接不同植物的根部”是正确的。故选D。
12.细节理解题。根据“Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better.”可知,科学家正在学习更多关于植物交流的知识,以便它们可以更好地生长。所以选项B“帮助植物更好地生长”是正确的。故选B。
D
Do you like playing little jokes (玩笑) on your friends and family? A new study found we’re not the only ones like doing this. Big apes (猿) have great fun doing this too. A group of scientists (科学家) spent a lot of time studying the apes from San Diego Zoo in the US and Leipzig Zoo in Germany. They were surprised to find out apes love to monkey around in many ways.
Some apes would give their friend something only to take it back quickly, or even tickle (挠痒痒) each other happily. They liked to catch their friends’ hair and some even walked into their friends and fell over for fun. Often, if one ape didn’t play back, the other ape would keep doing the same funny things again and again. The young apes, around three to five years old, enjoyed doing this the most, just like little kids do. Dr. Isabelle Laumer, one scientist in this group, told the newspaper, “When little kids play jokes on their mother, they like to watch how she feels carefully. We see that in these great apes, too.” What’s more, the study found that these young apes make special sounds when playing jokes, different from the sounds they often make. It’s their way to show their happiness for monkeying around.
Next, scientists need to spend more time finding out why the apes love playing jokes on each other. They think knowing this can help us learn more about how apes and people show their feelings.
13.What fun things would apes do to joke with each other?
①They give food to eat with others. ②They walk into each other.
③They tickle each other. ④They play jokes on their mother.
A.②③④ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.①②③
14.Here are meanings of “monkey” in the dictionary. Which is the meaning of the underlined word “monkey” in Paragraph 1?
monkey①an animal with a long tail and likes
②a child who is active and likes doing funny things
③500 pounds
④do things in a playful way
…
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
15.What can we know from the text?
A.People can learn a lot from apes. B.People are smarter than some apes.
C.People and apes do things differently. D.People and apes have fun in the same way.
16.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Apes Eat a Lot. B.Apes and People.
C.Apes Love Playing Jokes. D.Apes Around the World.
【答案】13.D 14.D 15.A 16.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现猿类也喜欢跟人类一样和自己的朋友和家人开玩笑。
13.细节理解题。根据第二段“Some apes would give their friend something only to take it back quickly, or even tickle each other happily. They liked to catch their friends’ hair and some even walked into their friends and fell over for fun.”可知,一些猿类会给它们的朋友一些东西,只是为了迅速收回;甚至开心地互相挠痒痒,它们喜欢抓朋友的头发,有些人甚至撞到朋友身上,摔倒在地取乐;再根据第二段“When little kids play jokes on their mother, they like to watch how she feels carefully. We see that in these great apes, too.”可知,当小孩子和妈妈开玩笑时,他们喜欢仔细观察妈妈的感受,科学家在猿类身上也看到了这一点,这就是说猿类开妈妈的玩笑时,是想观察妈妈的感受,而不是来互相开玩笑;因此猿类会和别人一起吃东西、互相碰撞以及互相挠痒痒来相互开玩笑。故选D。
14.词义猜测题。根据第一段“Do you like playing little jokes on your friends and family? A new study found we’re not the only ones like doing this. Big apes have great fun doing this too.”和“They were surprised to find out apes love to monkey around in many ways.”可知,猿类也喜欢对朋友和家人开些小玩笑;据此可以推断,划线单词“monkey”意为“有趣地做某事”,动词,与“do things in a playful way”同义。故选D。
15.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next, scientists need to spend more time finding out why the apes love playing jokes on each other. They think knowing this can help us learn more about how apes and people show their feelings.”可知,科学家们正在深入研究猿类为什么喜欢互相开玩笑,并认为这一发现可以帮助我们更深入地了解猿类和人类如何表达情感,所以说猿类的行为和情感表达方式对人类有重要的学习价值。故选A。
16.主旨大意题。综合全文可知,本文主要介绍了科学家们研究发现猿类之间也喜欢开玩笑。故选C。

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food?
A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.
41.What is good for you in your diet?
42.Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food?
43.What did the writer do to test the idea?
44.Would you like to try blue food? Why or why not?
【答案】41.It is good for you to have different colors in your diet. 42.Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. 43.The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. 44.No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy.
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们不喜欢蓝色的食物的原因。
41.根据“You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet”可知,在饮食中吃不同颜色的食物对你好处。故填It is good for you to have different colors in your diet.
42.根据“There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. ... Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.”可知,因为天然蓝色的食物很少——它不是一种常见的天然食物颜色。故填Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color.
43.根据“I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch”可知,作者邀请了一些朋友来吃一顿很不寻常的午餐来测试这个想法。故填The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch.
44.开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy.
五、书面表达(满分20分)

Dear friends,
Recently, I have noticed that many students are wasting water. I’m writing this to raise everyone’s awareness of water conservation.
Water is essential for all life. We can’t live without it. Moreover, it is used in various aspects of our daily life and school work. To save water, we can turn off the taps promptly after use and collect the water used for washing vegetables to water plants.
Let’s pay attention to the waste phenomenon and take action right now. Every drop counts!
Yours,
Li Hua

第一部分 选择题 (共50分)
一、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分;满分40分)
第一节 阅读下面语言材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some people have a very poor sense of direction(方向). Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared (敢) to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles(绕圈子) and hoped that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid(避免) giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply(回答). But just as I walked only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at first sight.
1.The writer always refuses(拒绝) to give people directions because ________.
A.she is a stranger to the city B.she doesn’t know the people
C.she has no time to help others D.she’s afraid of giving wrong directions
2.The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ________.
A.lives B.studies C.works D.plays
3.The word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means ________.
A.尴尬的 B.困惑的 C.激动的 D.拮据的
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The writer is too shy to give others directions.
B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction.
C.The writer never got lost when she was young.
D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.
B
Do you know why the Earth is called the “Blue Planet”? Because up to 70% of its surface is covered by water! However, there are still millions of people who have to walk for over half an hour to get clean water. Why is it so difficult for them to get clean water? Will we run out of water one day?
Most of the water on Earth is too salty for us to use. In fact, only 2.5% of the water on our planet is fresh water. However, we are not able to use all of it. For example, we can’t get the fresh water in rocks deep underground. In the end, the fresh water that we can use is only about 0.007% of the water on Earth!
Luckily, our planet is very good at holding on water. When water turns into water vapour, it doesn’t run off into space. Since the atmosphere (大气层) is very cold, the water vapour freezes and falls back to the ground.
The amount of fresh water on Earth stays about the same. However, the number of people on this planet is growing quickly. So, more and more people won’t get clean water. If we don’t change the way we use water, this problem will become even worse in the future.
5.Water covers about ________ of the Earth according to the passage.
A.one half B.one third
C.two thirds D.two fifths
6.Why is it difficult for people to get clean water?
A.Because we are able to use salty water.
B.Because clean water turns into water vapour.
C.Because fresh water on the ground is hard to get.
D.Because there is not much fresh water in the world.
7.The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.the way we use water
B.the growing number of people
C.more people can’t get clean water
D.fresh water remaining as much as always
8.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To explain what water cycle is.
B.To call on people to save water.
C.To share interesting facts about water.
D.To introduce new ways to get fresh water.
C
Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
9.Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A.Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B.Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C.Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D.Let me give you some food and drinks!
10.Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A.Some plants can talk to people.
B.Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C.Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D.Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
11.What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A.Produce food with other plants.
B.Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C.Send food to or take food from other plants.
D.Connect the roots of different plants.
12.Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A.To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B.To help plants grow better.
C.To build a bigger web for plants.
D.To improve plants’ talking system.
D
Do you like playing little jokes (玩笑) on your friends and family? A new study found we’re not the only ones like doing this. Big apes (猿) have great fun doing this too. A group of scientists (科学家) spent a lot of time studying the apes from San Diego Zoo in the US and Leipzig Zoo in Germany. They were surprised to find out apes love to monkey around in many ways.
Some apes would give their friend something only to take it back quickly, or even tickle (挠痒痒) each other happily. They liked to catch their friends’ hair and some even walked into their friends and fell over for fun. Often, if one ape didn’t play back, the other ape would keep doing the same funny things again and again. The young apes, around three to five years old, enjoyed doing this the most, just like little kids do. Dr. Isabelle Laumer, one scientist in this group, told the newspaper, “When little kids play jokes on their mother, they like to watch how she feels carefully. We see that in these great apes, too.” What’s more, the study found that these young apes make special sounds when playing jokes, different from the sounds they often make. It’s their way to show their happiness for monkeying around.
Next, scientists need to spend more time finding out why the apes love playing jokes on each other. They think knowing this can help us learn more about how apes and people show their feelings.
13.What fun things would apes do to joke with each other?
①They give food to eat with others. ②They walk into each other.
③They tickle each other. ④They play jokes on their mother.
A.②③④ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.①②③
14.Here are meanings of “monkey” in the dictionary. Which is the meaning of the underlined word “monkey” in Paragraph 1?
monkey①an animal with a long tail and likes
②a child who is active and likes doing funny things
③500 pounds
④do things in a playful way
…
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
15.What can we know from the text?
A.People can learn a lot from apes. B.People are smarter than some apes.
C.People and apes do things differently. D.People and apes have fun in the same way.
16.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Apes Eat a Lot. B.Apes and People.
C.Apes Love Playing Jokes. D.Apes Around the World.

Zhi Xuanzi was the head of a big family in the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was old, so he wanted a family member, Zhi Yao, 31 (be) the new leader.
However, his adviser, Zhi Guo, disagreed with the idea. Guo knew that Yao had some strong points. For example, he was smart and strict with 32 (he). He was very good at 33 (ride) and shooting. But Guo was 34 (worry) about one big problem. Yao was not 35 kind-hearted person.
Still, Xuanzi didn’t listen to his idea. Yao became the head of the family 36 (successful). With his hard work and strong ability, he quickly 37 (make) his family the strongest in Jin. However, because of his aggressive (咄咄逼人的) acts, three other big families worked together to fight 38 his family. Finally, Yao lost the fight.

四、阅读与表达(共4小题, 41~43小题, 每小题2分, 44小题4分; 满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food?
A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.
41.What is good for you in your diet?
42.Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food?
43.What did the writer do to test the idea?
44.Would you like to try blue food? Why or why not?
