But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be an athlete.” “Dave,” Grandpa began kindly, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles, 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (波士顿马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re ready?” Grandpa asked. But he was still willing to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I will wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each hard step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried “Grandpa, we did it!” 31. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team? A. He couldn’t run fast. B. He didn’t work hard. C. He was not tall enough. D. He wasn’t a quick learner. 32.

But my dream was big.”可知，全文主要讲述了Dave虽然个子矮小，但一直有参加马拉松比赛的梦想，并最终实现，故选A。 C Do you know what music people like listening to? If you ask them, you may get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical preferences? What do these differences say about us? Researchers from Cambridge University tried to answer these questions. They asked 350,000 people from 50 different countries. Then, they found that musical preferences depend on personality (性格). Outgoing people prefer danceable music with strong beats such as rap. Country music fans are shown to be more serious in their jobs. One of the findings is quite interesting. The researchers thought that people with much stress (压力) should like sad music or rhythmic (有节奏的) music. But it turned out that these people dislike these two kinds. Instead, they like loud music better. Maybe they like to listen to this kind of music to lower their stress. The researchers also found that climates may affect people’s musical preferences and personalities, too. People in hot weather prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This may be a result of longer daylight hours. They advised people to go outdoors to dance. Of course, nothing is clear-cut. We may not group people simply by their musical tastes. The study just showed us that people of different cultures are similar than we think. “People are grouped by language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg. “But if an outgoing person in one place likes the same music as outgoing people in other places, then we can say that music is really like a bridge.” 36. How does the writer begin this topic? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 37. People who are more serious in their jobs like ________ better. A. sad music B. loud music C. country music D. danceable music 38. In which season do people most probably like danceable music? A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. People of different cultures are quite different. B. People can be grouped only by language and culture. C. Listening to loud music helps to deal with people’s stress. D. Music helps people all over the world to communicate (交流). 40. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是通过研究展现不同的人对于音乐有不同的偏好的原因。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Do you know what music people like listening to...Why do different people have different musical preferences? What do these differences say about us”可知作者以问题引出话题。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Country music fans are shown to be more serious in their jobs”可知在工作中表现得更认真的人喜欢乡村音乐。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“People in hot weather prefer danceable music”可知，人们在炎热的天气喜欢舞动的音乐。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But if an outgoing person in one place likes the same music as outgoing people in other places, then we can say that music is really like a bridge”可知如果一个外向的人在一个地方喜欢和其他地方外向的人一样的音乐，那么我们可以说音乐真的就像一座桥梁，所以音乐帮助人们交流。故选D。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引出话题；第二段和第三段介绍了不同的人对于音乐有不同的偏好的原因；第四段进行总结。故选A。 D Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding, but whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking. In many cases, our memory (记忆) lets us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, but why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago? It seems that there are many types of memory. They are in different parts of our brains (大脑). Memories of experiences (eg.our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g. the capital of China) are called declarative memory (陈述性记忆). Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are called procedural memory (程序性记忆). Scientists have done many tests on different memory types. The most famous of them was Henry Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, his illness became better. But there’s a new problem—he couldn’t remember things! What’s wrong with his memory? Through many tests, scientists found he could learn new skills slowly. However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. That means he could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories. Scientists said that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are in the brain’s centre. Now, “just like riding a bicycle” is used in our life. Can you guess its meaning? 41. How does the writer start the article? A. By telling the difference. B. By giving an example. C. By listing the number. D. By asking questions. 42. Which of the following is the example of procedural memory? A. Playing the piano. B. Our first day at school. C. One trip to France. D. The first time I rode a bicycle. 43. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Scientists. B. Tests. C. Types. D. Memories. 44. What’s Henry Molaison’s problem after part of his brain was taken away? A. His illness became worse. B. He couldn’t learn new skills. C. He could never remember anything. D. He couldn’t develop declarative memories. 45. What’s the meaning of “just like riding a bicycle”? A. A gift that one is born with. B. A task that takes a long time to finish. C. A skill that will never forget. D. A memory that is always in the brain. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们一旦学会骑自行车就不会忘记，就此科学家展开研究，发现人的程序记忆更长久。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding, but whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking.”可知，第一段通过“骑自行车”为例，引出本文的话题。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are called procedural memory (程序性记忆).”可知，弹奏乐器或骑自行车的技能被称为程序性记忆。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前一句“Scientists have done many tests on different memory types.”可知，科学家对不同的记忆类型做了很多测试。因此这里的them代指“这些测试”，故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But there’s a new problem—he couldn’t remember things!”以及“That means he could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories.”可知，他的部分大脑被取走后，他不能开发新的陈述性记忆。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding, but whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking.”可知，骑自行车这种技能一旦学会了就永远不会忘记。因此“just like riding a bicycle”意为一种一旦学会就永远不会忘记的技能。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 What can you do when you don’t want to do homework?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“不想做作业但又必须完成时该如何解决问题”展开，提供了设定目标、制定并写下计划、先做难题、用奖励标记进度、向父母求助等建议，帮助读者应对不想做作业的困扰 。 【46题详解】 根据上文“What can you do when you don’t want to do homework? You know it has to be done, but it’s the last thing you want to do. How can you deal with the problem?”可知，不想做作业但必须做，不知该怎么处理这一问题，而下文开始列举具体的建议，所以这里应引出下文的建议内容，起到承上启下作用；选项D“这里有一些能帮助你的建议。”符合语境。故选D 。 【47题详解】 根据上文“Take a plan and write it down.”和下文“Because something about the written words makes it harder to forget.”可知，制定一个计划并写下来，而下文是在解释写下来原因，所以这里应是询问为什么要这样做；选项C“你为什么要把它写下来呢？”符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 根据下文“Do it first because it needs a fresh mind. You often dislike it if you find your homework difficult.”可知，先做它，因为这需要清醒的头脑，如果你觉得作业难，你往往会不喜欢做它，这里“it”指的是难题，所以此处是指要先做比较难的作业；选项B“先做困难的作业。”能概括该段内容，适合作为段落开头总起。故选B 。 【49题详解】 根据上文“If you have completed part of your homework, you could take a break.”和下文“Or you could even ‘allow’ yourself to go to a movie on Friday.”可知，完成了部分作业，可以休息一下，甚至可以‘允许’自己在周五去看一场电影，所以此处是在列举休息时可以做的另一种奖励自己的事，与上下文的奖励方式并列；选项E“你也可以吃一些你喜欢的东西。”符合语境。故选E。 【50题详解】 根据上文“If you don’t ask, your parents will never know what trouble you have.”可知，不询问父母，他们永远不会知道你有什么麻烦，所以这里应介绍“不询问父母”会导致的结果；选项A“所以他们将无法给你有用的建议。”符合语境。故选A。 V.情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，完成下列各题。 51. 朋友提议一起去看校园时装秀，你表示赞同时可以这样说： _____________________________________________________________. 【答案】Great/Good idea/That’s great 【解析】 【详解】根据题干可知，对对方的提议表示赞同，可表达为“很棒/好主意”，其英文表达为“Great/Good idea/That’s great”。故填Great/Good idea/That’s great。 52. 就餐后你想结账，可以这样对服务员说： _________________________________________________, please? 【答案】May I have/pay/get/take the bill 【解析】 【详解】have/pay/get/take the bill“买单”，此处可以用May I...“我可以……吗”，故填May I have/pay/get/take the bill。 53. 你想邀请朋友来清源山，可以这样说: Would __________________ Qingyuan Mountain? 【答案】you like to come to 【解析】 【详解】邀请某人来某地可用句型“Would you like to come to…?”来询问。故填you like to come to。 54. 试穿一条长裙时，你想听听Jane的评价时，可以这样问： ____________________________________________________________ the dress, Jane? 【答案】What do you think of/How do you like 【解析】 【详解】根据所给情景可知，询问他人的评价时，可以使用句型：What do you think of sth.?或How do you like sth.?，表示“你认为……怎么样？”。故填What do you think of/How do you like。 55. 你想咨询售货员哪里能买到领带，你可以这样问： Excuse me, could you tell me ________________? 【答案】where to buy a tie 【解析】 【详解】根据题干要求可知，设空处可表达为 “在哪里买领带”。在那里：where；买领带：buy a tie。此处可用“疑问词+不定式” 结构作宾语。故填where to buy a tie。 V.看图写话（共6小题；每小题2分，满分12分） 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. taste _______________________________ 57. as... as _______________________________ 58. it, necessary _______________________________ 59. while _______________________________ 60. there; tomorrow _______________________________ 【答案】56.

A. a storybook B. a tour website C. a news report D. a science magazine B When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be an athlete.” “Dave,” Grandpa began kindly, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles, 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (波士顿马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re ready?” Grandpa asked. But he was still willing to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I will wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each hard step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried “Grandpa, we did it!” 31. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team? A. He couldn’t run fast. B. He didn’t work hard. C. He was not tall enough. D. He wasn’t a quick learner. 32. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Running every day. B. Adding an extra mile. C. Training for the marathon. D. Trying out for the basketball team. 33 Which of the following words best describes Dave? A. Shy. B. Warm-hearted. C. Friendly. D. Strong-minded. 34. After failing to finish the marathon, Dave wanted to ________. A. give up running B. run with Grandpa C. practice playing basketball D. run the Boston Marathon again 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Dream Big B. The Boston Marathon C. Think Twice D. The Story of Grandpa C Do you know what music people like listening to? If you ask them, you may get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical preferences? What do these differences say about us? Researchers from Cambridge University tried to answer these questions. They asked 350,000 people from 50 different countries. Then, they found that musical preferences depend on personality (性格). Outgoing people prefer danceable music with strong beats such as rap. Country music fans are shown to be more serious in their jobs. One of the findings is quite interesting. The researchers thought that people with much stress (压力) should like sad music or rhythmic (有节奏的) music. But it turned out that these people dislike these two kinds. Instead, they like loud music better. Maybe they like to listen to this kind of music to lower their stress. The researchers also found that climates may affect people’s musical preferences and personalities, too. People in hot weather prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This may be a result of longer daylight hours. They advised people to go outdoors to dance. Of course, nothing is clear-cut. We may not group people simply by their musical tastes. The study just showed us that people of different cultures are similar than we think. “People are grouped by language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg. “But if an outgoing person in one place likes the same music as outgoing people in other places, then we can say that music is really like a bridge.” 36. How does the writer begin this topic? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 37. People who are more serious in their jobs like ________ better. A. sad music B. loud music C. country music D. danceable music 38. In which season do people most probably like danceable music? A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. People of different cultures are quite different. B. People can be grouped only by language and culture. C. Listening to loud music helps to deal with people’s stress. D. Music helps people all over the world to communicate (交流). 40. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. D Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding, but whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking. In many cases, our memory (记忆) lets us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, but why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago? It seems that there are many types of memory. They are in different parts of our brains (大脑). Memories of experiences (eg.our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g. the capital of China) are called declarative memory (陈述性记忆). Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are called procedural memory (程序性记忆). Scientists have done many tests on different memory types. The most famous of them was Henry Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, his illness became better. But there’s a new problem—he couldn’t remember things! What’s wrong with his memory? Through many tests, scientists found he could learn new skills slowly. However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. That means he could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories. Scientists said that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are in the brain’s centre. Now, “just like riding a bicycle” is used in our life. Can you guess its meaning? 41. How does the writer start the article? A. By telling the difference. B. By giving an example. C. By listing the number. D. By asking questions. 42. Which of the following is the example of procedural memory? A. Playing the piano. B. Our first day at school. C. One trip to France. D. The first time I rode a bicycle. 43. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Scientists. B. Tests. C. Types. D. Memories. 44 What’s Henry Molaison’s problem after part of his brain was taken away? A. His illness became worse. B. He couldn’t learn new skills. C. He could never remember anything. D. He couldn’t develop declarative memories. 45. What’s the meaning of “just like riding a bicycle”? A. A gift that one is born with. B. A task that takes a long time to finish. C. A skill that will never forget. D. A memory that is always in the brain. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 What can you do when you don’t want to do homework?
