The first blind person stopped in front of the elephant. The animal pushed her gently with its trunk.

He said, “No, it’s like a knife.” The third blind person stroked the elephant’s ear. She said, “I think an elephant is like a blanket.” The fourth blind person leaned against the elephant’s side. He said, “You’re all wrong. An elephant is like a wall.” The fifth blind person hugged the elephant’s leg. He yelled, “I’ve got it! An elephant is like a tree.” The sixth blind person felt the elephant’s tail. She said, “An elephant is just like a rope.” Just then another woman walked by. She said, “You’re all right.

The neighbors often enjoyed walking around the lake in the park, and on this nice day, with nice afternoon sunshine, Katie spent the moments in her jumping routine. While jumping, she remembered that her grandmother had given her the jump rope for Christmas. She knew that her grandmother didn’t have a lot of money and had to save up to buy the jump rope for her. When Katie finally got the gift, she felt especially loved by her grandmother. Suddenly a boy rushed to her. Without any warning, he robbed her of her jump rope, shouting, “Give me that.” and ran back towards the park. When Katie came to her senses and realized the boy had taken away her grandma’s gift, she cried. And she felt very angry and helpless. But just at that moment, something unusual came to her ears. She found a group of kids shouting noisily by the lake. The boy with her jump rope was rushing towards them. As Katie followed him to the water, she saw a little girl was struggling (挣扎) in the water. The boy threw one end of Katie’s jump rope out for the girl to catch. Luckily, the little girl caught hold of it. Without a moment’s hesitation (迟疑), Katie came up to help. Working with kids together, they pulled the little girl onto the bank. After making sure the girl was ok, the boy walked up to Katie with the jump rope. Handing it to Katie, he gave a shy smile and apologized, “I’m sorry..., but I had to act quickly. You know, I can’t swim. It was your jump rope that saved the girl.” Katie smiled back. She was not angry any longer. Instead, she was glad that she had such a special jump rope. 38.

Without any warning, he robbed her of her jump rope”可知，男孩拿走了Katie的跳绳，即d；根据“As Katie followed him to the water, she saw a little girl was struggling (挣扎) in the water.”可知，Katie跟着男孩，即a；根据“Without a moment’s hesitation (迟疑), Katie came up to help.”可知，Katie帮助救小女孩，即c；根据“Handing it to Katie, he gave a shy smile and apologized”可知，男孩向Katie道歉，即b。正确的顺序是edacb。故选C。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Without any warning, he robbed her of her jump rope, shouting, ‘Give me that.’”可知，男孩没有任何警告，就抢走了Katie的跳绳，划线单词表示“抢走”，与take away近义。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The boy threw one end of Katie’s jump rope out for the girl to catch.

We have different kinds of incandescent light bulbs (白炽灯泡). ①_____ An incandescent light bulb passes electricity (电) through a thin metal wire (金属线) inside the bulb. When it goes through the wire, the energy will be changed into heat (热量). And the wire gets so hot that it glows (发光). Incandescent light bulbs should really be called “heat bulbs” because they give off nearly all their energy as heat. ②_____ For example, some simple ovens (烤箱) even use a light bulb to cook food. A single bulb can give off enough heat to bake cookies or even a small cake! However, the bad news is that the heat from incandescent light bulbs makes it hard to keep rooms and buildings cool. It’s reported that incandescent light bulbs only change about 5% of their energy into light, while the remaining 95% is wasted as heat. ③_____ Modern LED bulbs, on the other hand, are much cooler than incandescent light bulbs. They can change about 40% of the energy into light, which means they give off only 60% of their energy into heat. This makes LED bulbs a better choice for people who want to keep things bright and cool at the same time. 42. Which part can the sentence “Do you know how an incandescent light bulb works?” be put in? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 43. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________. A. the light bulb B. the wire C. the electricity D. the heat 44. In which way does the writer explain the “heat bulbs” in Paragraph 3? A. Listing the numbers (列数字). B. Giving examples (举例子). C. Making charts (做图表). D. Giving a definition (下定义). 45. Which chart of the following can best show how LED light bulbs work? A. B. C. D. 【答案】42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了白炽灯泡的工作原理和效率问题，通过对比向我们介绍了现代LED灯泡的优势。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“An incandescent light bulb passes electricity (电) through a thin metal wire (金属线) inside the bulb. When it goes through the wire, the energy will be changed into heat (热量). And the wire gets so hot that it glows (发光).”可知，白炽灯泡通过灯泡内的细金属丝导电。电流通过导线时，电能会转化为热能。导线变得如此之热以至于发光，第二段介绍了白炽灯泡是如何工作的，所以该句适合放在①处，用于引出下文介绍内容。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“An incandescent light bulb passes electricity (电) through a thin metal wire (金属线) inside the bulb. When it goes through the wire, the energy will be changed into heat (热量).”可知，白炽灯泡通过灯泡内部的一根细金属线传递电流，当电流穿过导线时，能量就会转化为热量，it指代the electricity (电流)。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, some simple ovens (烤箱) even use a light bulb to cook food. A single bulb can give off enough heat to bake cookies or even a small cake!”可知，用了举例子的方法。故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They can change about 40% of the energy into light, which means they give off only 60% of their energy into heat.”可知，LED灯泡可以将大约40%的能量转化为光，只有60%的能量转化为热，D项符合题意。故选D。 第二部分非选择题（60分） 五、语篇填空（计15分） 根据短文内容及所提供的单词或中文, 在空格处填入适当形式使短文完整, 词数不限。 A video about one kindergarten (幼儿园) in Jiangsu Province has become ____46____ (受欢迎的) online recently.

Katie was jumping rope (跳绳) on the grass in the park in front of her house. The neighbors often enjoyed walking around the lake in the park, and on this nice day, with nice afternoon sunshine, Katie spent the moments in her jumping routine. While jumping, she remembered that her grandmother had given her the jump rope for Christmas. She knew that her grandmother didn’t have a lot of money and had to save up to buy the jump rope for her. When Katie finally got the gift, she felt especially loved by her grandmother. Suddenly a boy rushed to her. Without any warning, he robbed her of her jump rope, shouting, “Give me that.” and ran back towards the park. When Katie came to her senses and realized the boy had taken away her grandma’s gift, she cried. And she felt very angry and helpless. But just at that moment, something unusual came to her ears. She found a group of kids shouting noisily by the lake. The boy with her jump rope was rushing towards them. As Katie followed him to the water, she saw a little girl was struggling (挣扎) in the water. The boy threw one end of Katie’s jump rope out for the girl to catch. Luckily, the little girl caught hold of it. Without a moment’s hesitation (迟疑), Katie came up to help. Working with kids together, they pulled the little girl onto the bank. After making sure the girl was ok, the boy walked up to Katie with the jump rope. Handing it to Katie, he gave a shy smile and apologized, “I’m sorry..., but I had to act quickly. You know, I can’t swim. It was your jump rope that saved the girl.” Katie smiled back. She was not angry any longer. Instead, she was glad that she had such a special jump rope. 38.

We have different kinds of incandescent light bulbs (白炽灯泡). ①_____ An incandescent light bulb passes electricity (电) through a thin metal wire (金属线) inside the bulb. When it goes through the wire, the energy will be changed into heat (热量). And the wire gets so hot that it glows (发光). Incandescent light bulbs should really be called “heat bulbs” because they give off nearly all their energy as heat. ②_____ For example, some simple ovens (烤箱) even use a light bulb to cook food. A single bulb can give off enough heat to bake cookies or even a small cake! However, the bad news is that the heat from incandescent light bulbs makes it hard to keep rooms and buildings cool. It’s reported that incandescent light bulbs only change about 5% of their energy into light, while the remaining 95% is wasted as heat. ③_____ Modern LED bulbs, on the other hand, are much cooler than incandescent light bulbs. They can change about 40% of the energy into light, which means they give off only 60% of their energy into heat. This makes LED bulbs a better choice for people who want to keep things bright and cool at the same time. 42.
