He lived in a dry land. Each morning, the farmer would walk to a nearby well (井) to get water for drinking. After making two buckets (桶) full of water from the well, the farmer would carefully place a bamboo stick over his shoulders to carry them home. One of the buckets had a small hole. All the way home from the well, it would leak water along the way. When the farmer got home, the leaky bucket would be only half full. This went on for years, and the leaky bucket began feeling sad and sorry. One day it said to the farmer, “I’m so sorry that I leak! I am making life harder for you.” The farmer only smiled. “Dear bucket, ” he said, “Look at this way we are on. Don’t you see many beautiful flowers growing next to it? Those flowers bloom (开花) only on the side I carry you on when we went home. The water you drop has brought beauty into the world. These flowers have given me so much joy on my walks to and from the well.” 24. What’s the meaning of the underlined word“leak” in Paragraph 2? A. Drink. B. Save. C. Drop. D. Pollute. 25.

To share the story of a farmer and his buckets. D. To teach us how to look on the bright side of life. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过讲述农夫与水桶的故事，并告诉我们要学会看到事物光明的一面。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题题。根据“One of the buckets had a small hole.”可以猜测leak的意思为“泄露”，而drop有“滴落，掉落，遗漏”的意思，与其相似，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Each morning, the farmer would walk to a nearby well (井) to get water for drinking.”以及“One of the buckets had a small hole. All the way home from the well, it would leak water along the way.”可知，②发生在①前；根据“I’m so sorry that I leak!”以及“These flowers have given me so much joy on my walks to and from the well.”可知，漏水的桶向农夫道歉，农夫笑了，说多亏了桶他才能欣赏到路边美丽的花朵，因此③发生在④前。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Look at this way we are on…These flowers have given me so much joy on my walks to and from the well.”可知，虽然桶漏水，但是正是因为如此，农夫可以欣赏到路边美丽的花朵，因此文章的目的是教会我们如何看待生活的光明面。故选D。 C Going to an art museum can be a fun activity. However, if you’re not sure what the art is about, it may seem boring. Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art. You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you’re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit. If a piece of art (艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before. If you want to find out more details of the artwork, a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures (手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that’s special to you or the emotions you’ve been feeling. After you leave the museum, consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really. 27. What’s the writer’s advice when choosing a museum? A. Ask your parents to help you decide. B. Visit the most famous museum nearby. C. Choose an exhibit that interests you. D. Go to see a photography exhibit first. 28. Why do you need a notebook and pencil according to paragraph 3? A. To draw a similar picture by yourself. B. To draw a picture of yourself quickly. C. To write down the story of the artwork. D. To copy things from the free brochures. 29. What may be the magic of art really according to the last paragraph? A. The art pieces that stay in your mind for a long time. B. The way you understand an artist through their work. C. The time you spend talking with your friend or adult. D. The story your favorite piece of art is trying to tell. 30. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(P=Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 【答案】27. C 28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何欣赏艺术作品。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area.…Choose one you’re interested in to visit.”可知，作者建议选择自己感兴趣的去参观。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before.”可知，参观时需要笔记本和铅笔，从而自己画一幅类似的图。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really.”可知，艺术家通过他们的作品让人们理解自己的方式，真的是艺术的魔力。故选B。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段介绍本文的主题：如何欣赏艺术品；第二、三、四、五段分别从不同方面具体阐述了如何欣赏艺术作品。选项A符合题意。故选A。 第二节 阅读表达(共5题；每题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities. The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour (面粉), right? Not quite! It was a mess for a while. First, I made the dough too soft. Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick (窍门). Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work from home. I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food. This may be why I’m so happy to know that students now have labor (劳动) education at school in China. These practical skills will help them for the rest of their lives. 31. Where did the writer grow up? __________________________________________ 32. How could making dough help the writer’s family? __________________________________________ 33. Why did the writer fall in love with cooking? __________________________________________ 34 What does the writer think of cooking by herself? __________________________________________ 35. Do you want to have labor education at school? Why or why not? __________________________________________ 【答案】31. In the countryside. 32. It would help her family have dinner sooner. 33. Because it’s a good way to relax. 34. It saves money and she doesn’t have to wait for delivery. 35. Yes. Because it helps learn practical skills. / No. Because I prefer other subjects. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在乡下长大，掌握了许多实用技能，认为学校开展劳动教育对学生很有帮助。 【31题详解】 根据“I grew up in the countryside.”可知，作者在乡下长大，故填In the countryside. 【32题详解】 根据“a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner.”可知，制作面团能帮助作者的家人早些吃上晚饭，故填It would help her family have dinner sooner. 【33题详解】 根据“I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax.”可知，作者爱上了做饭是因为做饭是放松的一种方式，故填Because it’s a good way to relax. 【34题详解】 根据“It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food.”可知，作者认为自己做饭能节约钱，而且不用等着外卖员送餐，故填It saves money and she doesn’t have to wait for delivery. 【35题详解】 根据实际情况做肯定或者否定回答，并说明上或者不上劳动教育课的原因，内容合理即可。故填Yes. Because it helps learn practical skills. / No. Because I prefer other subjects. 第四部分 情景交际 (满分10分) 补全对话 (共5题；每题2分，满分 10分) 根据下面的对话情景，在空白处填入一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 ( Peter and Jiajia are talking about a book. ) Peter: How heavily it rained last night.

However, if you’re not sure what the art is about, it may seem boring. Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art. You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you’re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit. If a piece of art (艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before. If you want to find out more details of the artwork, a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures (手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that’s special to you or the emotions you’ve been feeling. After you leave the museum consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really. 27. What’s the writer’s advice when choosing a museum? A Ask your parents to help you decide. B. Visit the most famous museum nearby. C. Choose an exhibit that interests you. D. Go to see a photography exhibit first. 28. Why do you need a notebook and pencil according to paragraph 3? A. To draw a similar picture by yourself. B. To draw a picture of yourself quickly. C. To write down the story of the artwork. D. To copy things from the free brochures. 29. What may be the magic of art really according to the last paragraph? A. The art pieces that stay in your mind for a long time. B. The way you understand an artist through their work. C. The time you spend talking with your friend or adult. D. The story your favorite piece of art is trying to tell. 30. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(P=Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读表达(共5题；每题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities. The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour (面粉), right? Not quite! It was a mess for a while. First, I made the dough too soft. Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick (窍门). Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work from home. I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food. This may be why I’m so happy to know that students now have labor (劳动) education at school in China. These practical skills will help them for the rest of their lives. 31. Where did the writer grow up? __________________________________________ 32. How could making dough help the writer’s family? __________________________________________ 33. Why did the writer fall in love with cooking? __________________________________________ 34.
