A. How long B. How soon C. How often D. How far 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——无锡已经成为最宜居的城市之一。你在这里住了多久了？ ——自从2007年我出生以来。 考查疑问词组辨析。How long多久，用于询问动作或状态持续的时间；How soon多久以后，常用于对“in+一段时间”进行提问；How often多久一次，用于询问动作发生的频率；How far多远，用于询问距离。根据答语“Since I was born in 2007.”可知，此处是在询问居住的时间长度，故选A。 22.

Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate (灌溉) their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity (电力). Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world’s rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unluckily, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists worry that we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared to make sure a happy dance between humans and nature. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it’s too late. 49. The writing purpose of this passage is to _________. A. describe the problems of cloud forest B. discover the secrets of cloud forest C. tell the stories about cloud forest D. explain the importance of cloud forest 50. Why are cloud forests in danger? A. Because farmers irrigate their farm fields. B. Because governments cut down trees. C. Because there are fewer mountains to climb. D. Because the temperature gets warmer. 51. What is paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A. People are doing harm to the cloud forest. B. People are making better use of cloud forest. C. People are trying to save the cloud forest. D. People have turned the cloud forest into green land. 52. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Cloud forests are from 500 meters to 4,000 meters below sea level. B. Cloud forests provide water to support people in many ways. C. Cloud forests will die out when the temperatures are cooler. D. Cloud forests can dance with people when working together. 【答案】49. D 50. D 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍云雾林重要性、面临问题及保护举措，呼吁拯救。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。文章先讲云雾林对人类和动植物的重要性，再讲面临问题和保护，核心是突出其重要性以呼吁保护。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out.”可知，气温变暖是危险原因之一。故选D。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared to make sure a happy dance between humans and nature.”可知，一些政府采取行动保护云雾林，制定法律、提供其他获取食物和能源的方式、教育当地人。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate (灌溉) their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity (电力).”可知，在饮水、烹饪、灌溉、发电等多方面提供水。故选B。 C One night, John came into the stable (马厩), calling, “Wake up, Beauty!” He put my saddle (马鞍) and bridle (缰绳) on and rode up to the front door of the house. The Squire was there. “John,” he said, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.” “Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John. I went as fast as possible. When we arrived at Dr White’s house, John told him, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately (立刻).” “Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked. The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later, John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。节选自《黑骏马》，主要以马的视角讲述了Black Beauty拯救了Mrs Gordon生命但是自己病倒的故事。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Squire came to see me. ‘Poor Beauty,’ he said one day. ‘You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.’”可知，Black Beauty救了Mrs. Gordon的命。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“John came into the stable (马厩), calling, ‘Wake up, Beauty!’”可知，John叫醒Black Beauty，对应b；根据“When we arrived at Dr White’s house”可知，John和Black Beauty到达Dr White，对应f；根据“The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park”可知，Dr White骑Black Beauty去 Birtwick Park，对应d；根据“My legs were shaking, and I was very wet.”可知，Black Beauty浑身湿透，对应c；根据“Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me.”可知，Joe没有给它盖毯子，对应e；根据“Then he gave me cold water to drink.”可知，Joe给它喝冷水，对应a。正确顺序为 b—f—d—c—e—a。故选C。 【55题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day.John was nursing me night and day.”可知，“我”病得很重，John日夜照料我。“nursing”意为“照顾”。故选A。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink.”可知，Joe没有给Black Beauty盖毯子，且喝的是冷水；根据“He covered...went to sleep.”可知，John回来后用两三条暖和的毯子盖住Black Beauty，然后跑进屋里去取热水，给Black Beauty一些热乎乎的食物。可推知，John骂的是Joe没有照顾好Black Beauty。故选B。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep.”可知，John回来后用两三条暖和的毯子盖住Black Beauty，然后跑进屋里去取热水，给Black Beauty一些热乎乎的食物。由此可知，John 是个好人，对Black Beauty很好。故选D。 五、词汇运用 （本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 58.

Join in The Wild Escape and help create one big digital(数字的) artwork that’s all about showing how much you care for the nature around us.

These pictures will then be uploaded and shown as part of a Wild World--one big digital artwork at the end of this month. Hope you’ll come and take action to care for nature. Ready for a journey? Here’s how to take part: ◆Head along to your local museum and find one of the many animals waiting for you there. ◆What do you see? It could be an animal crouching (蹲伏) in a painting or sitting in a photo! Whatever you find, make sure you have a good, long look at it. ◆Create a picture that imagines your animal coming to life and taking a wild journey to a new world. ◆Now, visit our website to send your picture to a huge digital artwork. 45. We can learn from the text that The Wild Escape ________. A. expects pupils to care for nature B. tries to find creative pupils aged 12 C. plans to start a new project next month D. is going to raise money for museums 46. To take part in The Wild Escape, you have to ________. A. study an animal in the wild B. take a drawing lesson C. hand in your picture online D. pay a visit to a local zoo 47. What is the text? A. A diary. B. An advertisement. C. A news report. D. A book review. 48. The author wrote this text for ________. A. teachers B. parents C. children D. doctors B In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there’s a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate (灌溉) their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity (电力). Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world’s rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unluckily, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists worry that we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared to make sure a happy dance between humans and nature. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it’s too late. 49. The writing purpose of this passage is to _________.
