As a punishment, he was locked in a hot stove. After that, he got a special ability — “fiery eyes and golden gaze”. With this, he can see monsters (妖怪) that hide themselves.

He made his way to the office, wondering why. He was a quite good student, so it wasn’t his grades. Though, to be honest, he’d been making things a little worse, especially that last math test. But this was the first time the baseball team went into the state finals in 11 years and as the star pitcher (明星投手), Danny had helped a lot. Surely there is nothing that can’t be excused. No more thinking, he stepped inside to find Mr. Irving, Coach Geller, and surprisingly, his mother was waiting for him and looked as if she had been crying. Uh, oh. He must really be in trouble. Mr. Irving told the truth that Danny wouldn’t be able to play in the final. Coach Geller had left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单) by accident, and once handed in, adding more was not allowed. “We’re very sorry, Danny,” said Mr. Irving, “I have been trying to fix it, but so far, no luck.” Danny didn’t know what to say. As the game began, Danny cheered for his team, having a mix of feelings as its score rose and fell. In the bottom of the ninth, Simon hit a winning run, making it certain that their team won. Danny jumped out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high-fives. That night, as he told the story, his mother listened quietly and said, “You should have played. That was your win, and it was taken from you.” “No,” he said with the biggest smile of his life, “That was my win, and Max’s, and Simon’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the final. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.” His mother looked at him almost like she’d never seen him before. Then she smiled and hugged him tightly. “You’re right, Danny! I’m so proud of you!” 36. How did Danny feel before stepping into the office? A. Excited to see the principal. B. Worried he was in trouble. C. Nervous about his grades. D. Curious about the reason for the meeting. 37. What news did Danny learn from Mr. Irving? A. His math grades dropped a lot. B. He wasn’t chosen as a star pitcher. C. His name wasn’t on the final list. D. He was no longer in the baseball team. 38. What is the right order of the following events? ① The roster of the final was handed in. ② Danny celebrated the win with his teammates. ③ Mr. Irving tried to fix the mistake but failed. ④ Danny’s mother hugged him and cheered for the win ⑤ Danny was told to go to the principal’s office. A. ⑤①③②④ B. ①③⑤②④ C. ①③⑤④② D. ⑤①③④② 39. How does the writer develop Danny’s character? A. By describing his appearance. B. Through his words and actions. C By comparing (比较) him with others. D. Through his communication with teachers. 40. What can we learn from Danny’s story? A. It never rains but it pours. B. Two heads are better than one. C. One tree does not make a forest. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. B 40.

Coach Geller had left Danny’s name off the roster by accident...”可知，Danny从Irving先生那里得知自己的名字不在决赛名单上。故选C。 【38题详解】 篇章结构题。根据“Coach Geller had left Danny’s name off the roster by accident, and once handed in, adding more was not allowed.”可知，教练Coach Geller不小心将Danny的名字从候选名单上漏掉，并且名单一旦提交就无法再添加(①)；根据“Mr. Irving said, ‘I have been trying to fix it, but so far, no luck.’”可知，校长Mr. Irving尝试修复错误但失败了(③)；根据“Danny was just putting his cleats into his locker when his teammate, Max, told him that Mr. Irving wanted to see him in the office.”可知，Danny正在整理装备时，队友Max通知他去校长办公室(⑤)；根据“In the bottom of the ninth, Simon hit a winning run... Danny jumped out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high-fives.”可知，比赛开始后，Danny观看比赛并为球队加油；球队获胜后，他冲上场地与队友庆祝(②)；根据“That night, as he told the story... Then she smiled and hugged him tightly. ‘You’re right, Danny!

And in my own way, I helped win it, too.’”可知，作者通过Danny的言行塑造了Danny这个人物。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。Danny的故事强调团队胜利高于个人荣誉，与选项C“独木不成林”寓意一致。故选C。 D Did you take part in any tree-planting activities this past March 12? Or maybe you went to check out the little tree you planted a few years ago? Standing beside it, you might have been amazed at how much it has changed. It’s really great to watch a tree grow year by year. Even the tallest ones of them grow from tiny seeds. Have you ever wondered how? A full-grown tree may drop hundreds or even thousands of seeds (种子) a year. Inside each seed is something called embryo (胚). Think of it as a small group of cells (细胞). These cells are ready to form roots, stem (茎), and first leaves. Once the covering around the seed gets wet, the embryo cells, which have been patiently waiting, suddenly come to life. They start to grow and break out. This is called germination. First, the roots develop and push out and down into the soil. This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil. Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves. As these leaves produce “food” in the sunlight, the plant gets the energy to grow more new leaves. Let’s imagine you drive a nail (钉子) into a tree at one meter above the ground. What will you see when you come back in ten years? The tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one meter above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top. At the same time, their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards. It is like the tree has two different ways of growing at the same time. The upward growth is like a race towards the sky, reaching for more sunlight, while the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support. As trees get older, they continue to grow taller and thicker. Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 meters! That’s as tall as a 30-floor building! Isn’t it amazing? 41. Why does the writer use the example of driving a nail into a tree in Paragraph 4? A. To explain why people put nails in trees. B. To help readers understand how trees grow taller. C. To show that nails don’t stop trees from growing. D. To teach readers a way to record the growth of trees. 42. If a tree trunk gets thicker over time, what will happen to a metal ring (金属环) put around the bottom of the trunk after 10 years? A. The metal ring will go into the soil. B. The metal ring will be higher off the ground. C. The metal ring will move up and down along the trunk. D. The metal ring will stay at the same height but may embed (嵌入) in the tree. 43. Which one of the pictures show the stage of germination? A. B. C. D. 44. From the article, we can find the answer to the question “________” ①How do trees get water from the soil? ②Why does a nail in a tree trunk stay at the same height over time? ③How many seeds does a full-grown tree drop in its lifetime? ④How tall can the tallest trees in the world grow? ⑤How long does a seed take to grow leaves? A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ②④⑤ D. ①②④ 45. Which of the following best represents the structure of the passage? A. Tell stories→ List facts→ Give a warning B. Ask questions→ Explain steps→ Share a fact C. List problems→ Study reasons→ Offer advice D. Share→ experiences → Show examples→ Introduce features 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过提问和举例的方式，生动地解释了树木的生长过程，包括种子发芽、树木长高和长粗的机制，以及世界上最高树木的高度。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“The tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one meter above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top.”（树会变得更高，但钉子仍会离地面一米。这是因为树木是通过顶端向上生长的。）可推知，作者用钉子的例子是为了帮助读者理解树木如何长高。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards…while the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support.”（树干通过向外生长变粗……而树干的向外生长就像增加越来越多的保护和支持环。）可推知，金属环会因树干变粗而嵌入树中，但高度不变。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“First, the roots develop and push out and down into the soil…Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves.”（首先，根发育并向下扎入土壤……然后茎向上生长并长出第一片叶子。）可推知，发芽阶段是根和茎刚开始生长的阶段。图片A最符合这一描述。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。①根据第3段“the roots develop…This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil.”（根发育……确保新植物能从土壤中获取水分。）可回答；②根据第4段钉子例子可回答；④根据最后一段“Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 meters!”（猜猜世界上最高的树有多高？超过110米！）可回答。其他问题文中未提及。故选D。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。文章结构为：开头提问（如“Have you ever wondered how?”）→解释步骤（如种子发芽、树木生长机制）→分享事实（如最高树木的高度）。故选B。 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Lab-grown (实验室培育) meat is made by taking a small sample of cells (细胞样本) from a living animal. These cells are then grown in a lab and shaped into cuts of meat. The sale of this meat is OK in some countries, like the US, Singapore and Israel. Some people like it, while others are not sure. What do you think? Would you eat it? Yes! Some people think it’s cruel (残忍的) to kill animals for food, and many farmed animals are not treated well. This is not a problem for lab-grown meat. Also, the meat is safer to eat because it is made in a clean lab and has a smaller chance of harmful bacteria (细菌) spreading. What’s more, lab-grown meat is better for the environment. Farming animals causes about 14.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. When animals like cows eat and digest (消化) food, they release methane gas (释放甲烷气体). Animal waste also releases greenhouse gases when it breaks down this gases trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere and make the planet warmer. Lab-grown meat can help cut down this pollution. No! Lab-grown meat is new and not many people have eaten it yet. We don’t know what the long term influences will be. Besides, it might not be as good for the climate. As some people say, a study from the university of oxford found that, in the long run, lab-grown meat might not be better for the environment than farmed animals. This is because growing the meat on a large scale (规模) uses a lot of energy. Lastly, lab-grown meat could harm farmers. If lab-grown meat becomes very popular, many farmers may have a hard time selling their farmed animals. In short, lab-grown meat has good and bad points. It’s good for animals and the environment. But there are still things we are not sure about. Maybe if we keep looking into it, we can solve its problems. Then it could be another everyday food that we all enjoy, doing no harm to animals or the environment. Would you eat lab-grown meat? An introduction to lab-grown meat  It comes from taking a small cell from a living animal and growing it in a lab.  Some countries ____46____ its sale.

Water bottles can be used again to create new ones. (同义句转换) Water bottles can be ________ with the ________ of creating new ones. 【答案】 ①. reused ②. purpose 【解析】 【详解】句意：水瓶可以再次用于创造新的水瓶。根据原句可知，水瓶可以再次用于创造新的水瓶。即水瓶可以重复使用以达到创造新水瓶的目的。因此空白处应填写“重复使用”和“目的”。表达“重复使用”用动词reuse，表达“目的”用名词purpose。又根据“Water bottles can be…”可知，本句主语为“Water bottles”，谓语动词为“reuse (重复使用)”，根据“can be”可知，本句使用情态动词的被动语态，即“can be done”，“reuse”的过去分词为“reused”，短语“with the purpose of”意为“目的是，以……为目的”。故填reused；purpose。 78. The weather will decide whether we go on a picnic or not. (同义句转换) Whether we go on a picnic ________ ________ the weather. 【答案】 ①. depends ②. on 【解析】 【详解】句意：天气将决定我们是否去野餐。根据“Whether we go on a picnic”和“the weather”可知，这里表达的是“是否去野餐”这一行为“取决于”天气，depend on“取决于”，动词短语；句中时态为一般现在时，主语“Whether we go on a picnic”为第三人称单数，所以动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填depends；on。 79.

If ②. improve 【解析】 【详解】句意：你英语练习得越多，你发音就会越好。根据题干可知，原句可改写为由if引导的条件状语从句，“you practice speaking English”为条件，用if引导，“the better your pronunciation will be”为成果，improve“改善，提高”，符合“发音变得更好”的句意，can为情态动词，后加动词原形，句首首字母大写。故填If; improve。 80.

Neither ②. nor 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的父母不同意我辞职的决定，我姐姐也持同样的观点。此处可以转换为“我的父母和我姐姐都不同意我辞职的决定”，neither ... nor ...“既不……也不……”，连接并列主语。故填Neither；nor。 九、书面表达（满分25分） 81. 为庆祝第30个“世界读书日”，你校举办了“共沐书香，享阅智慧”活动。假设你是Li Hua，请结合活动的海报和内容要求，给你的朋友Mike写一封邮件，分享你参与这项活动的经历与感受。 内容要点： 1.

Life without her? It’s like a sandwich without the filling—completely empty and not much fun. When she got the award Canada’s Dog of the Year, I jumped up and down like a little kid on Christmas morning. And now I’m still over the moon about it. As someone with poor eyesight, daily tasks could be challenging, but since Lulu came to my life, it has been like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. She is not just a dog, she is my superhero. When we step outside, Lulu is on duty. She marches besides me, looking left and right, making sure everything is safe. Once, a cyclist was coming straight at us really fast. Lulu quickly moved in front of me and guided me to the side of the path. When we’re at home, she’s also ready to lend a paw. She can get small items for me, like my glasses if I’ve misplaced them. She’ll search around the house, find them with her sharp sense of smell, and bring them back to me in her mouth. She’s also great at sensing when I’m feeling blue. She’ll come and sit close to me, wagging (摇) her tail slowly to cheer me up. She’s not just a pet; she’s my guardian angel and a shining example of the love and support pets can provide. 26. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Linda is too old to look after herself.

B ①Have you heard about Journey to the West? It’s a super famous Chinese story. When new games or cartoons about it come out, more people around the world get interested in this classic story. ②The story was written long ago. It’s about Monk (和尚) Xuanzang. He takes a long journey with his followers, like the Monkey King Sun Wukong. They face lots of dangers to find important Buddhist books (经书). This story is so popular! It has been made into many movies and TV shows. Also, it gives us some really cool sayings that show how brave and clever Wukong is. Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze ③Once, Wukong made trouble in Heaven. As a punishment, he was locked in a hot stove. After that, he got a special ability — “fiery eyes and golden gaze”. With this, he can see monsters (妖怪) that hide themselves. Today, we use this phrase for someone who’s really good at finding lies or bad things. For example, Mom has “fiery eyes and golden gaze”. She always ________. 72 Changes ④The Monkey King learned “72 Changes” from his master. He can turn into a bird, a tree, or even a temple! Now, we use “72 Changes” to talk about someone who can fit in well to different situations. For example, my friend is great at sports. On the basketball court, he’s a star. In the art class, he draws amazing pictures. He’s like having “72 Changes”! Riding the Clouds and Driving the Mist ⑤In Journey to the West Wukong has a magic cloud called Jindouyun. With it, he can do a huge flying jump and travel far quickly. This phrase first described magic flying. Now, it means moving very fast. ⑥These fun phrases from Journey to the West help us see how amazing traditional Chinese stories are. Let’s keep exploring them! 31.

C Danny was just putting his cleats (训练鞋) into his locker when his teammate, Max, told him that Mr. Irving, the principal (校长) wanted to see him in the office. He made his way to the office, wondering why. He was a quite good student, so it wasn’t his grades. Though, to be honest, he’d been making things a little worse, especially that last math test. But this was the first time the baseball team went into the state finals in 11 years and as the star pitcher (明星投手), Danny had helped a lot. Surely there is nothing that can’t be excused. No more thinking, he stepped inside to find Mr. Irving, Coach Geller, and surprisingly, his mother was waiting for him and looked as if she had been crying. Uh, oh. He must really be in trouble. Mr. Irving told the truth that Danny wouldn’t be able to play in the final. Coach Geller had left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单) by accident, and once handed in, adding more was not allowed. “We’re very sorry, Danny,” said Mr. Irving, “I have been trying to fix it, but so far, no luck.” Danny didn’t know what to say. As the game began, Danny cheered for his team, having a mix of feelings as its score rose and fell. In the bottom of the ninth, Simon hit a winning run, making it certain that their team won. Danny jumped out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high-fives. That night, as he told the story, his mother listened quietly and said, “You should have played. That was your win, and it was taken from you.” “No” he said with the biggest smile of his life, “That was my win, and Max’s, and Simon’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the final. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.” His mother looked at him almost like she’d never seen him before. Then she smiled and hugged him tightly. “You’re right, Danny! I’m so proud of you!” 36. How did Danny feel before stepping into the office? A. Excited to see the principal. B. Worried he was in trouble. C. Nervous about his grades. D. Curious about the reason for the meeting. 37. What news did Danny learn from Mr. Irving? A. His math grades dropped a lot. B. He wasn’t chosen as a star pitcher. C. His name wasn’t on the final list. D. He was no longer in the baseball team. 38. What is the right order of the following events? ① The roster of the final was handed in. ② Danny celebrated the win with his teammates. ③ Mr. Irving tried to fix the mistake but failed. ④ Danny’s mother hugged him and cheered for the win ⑤ Danny was told to go to the principal’s office. A. ⑤①③②④ B. ①③⑤②④ C. ①③⑤④② D. ⑤①③④② 39. How does the writer develop Danny’s character? A. By describing his appearance. B. Through his words and actions. C. By comparing (比较) him with others. D. Through his communication with teachers. 40. What can we learn from Danny’s story? A. It never rains but it pours. B. Two heads are better than one. C. One tree does not make a forest. D. Actions speak louder than words. D Did you take part in any tree-planting activities this past March 12? Or maybe you went to check out the little tree you planted a few years ago? Standing beside it, you might have been amazed at how much it has changed. It’s really great to watch a tree grow year by year. Even the tallest ones of them grow from tiny seeds. Have you ever wondered how? A full-grown tree may drop hundreds or even thousands of seeds (种子) a year. Inside each seed is something called embryo (胚). Think of it as a small group of cells (细胞). These cells are ready to form roots, stem (茎), and first leaves. Once the covering around the seed gets wet, the embryo cells, which have been patiently waiting, suddenly come to life. They start to grow and break out. This is called germination. First, the roots develop and push out and down into the soil. This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil. Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves. As these leaves produce “food” in the sunlight, the plant gets the energy to grow more new leaves. Let’s imagine you drive a nail (钉子) into a tree at one meter above the ground. What will you see when you come back in ten years? The tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one meter above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top. At the same time, their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards. It is like the tree has two different ways of growing at the same time. The upward growth is like a race towards the sky, reaching for more sunlight, while the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support. As trees get older, they continue to grow taller and thicker. Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 meters! That’s as tall as a 30-floor building! Isn’t it amazing? 41. Why does the writer use the example of driving a nail into a tree in Paragraph 4? A. To explain why people put nails in trees. B. To help readers understand how trees grow taller. C. To show that nails don’t stop trees from growing. D. To teach readers a way to record the growth of trees. 42. If a tree trunk gets thicker over time, what will happen to a metal ring (金属环) put around the bottom of the trunk after 10 years? A. The metal ring will go into the soil. B. The metal ring will be higher off the ground. C. The metal ring will move up and down along the trunk. D. The metal ring will stay at the same height but may embed (嵌入) in the tree. 43. Which one of the pictures show the stage of germination? A. B. C. D. 44. From the article, we can find the answer to the question “________” ①How do trees get water from the soil? ②Why does a nail in a tree trunk stay at the same height over time? ③How many seeds does a full-grown tree drop in its lifetime? ④How tall can the tallest trees in the world grow? ⑤How long does a seed take to grow leaves? A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ②④⑤ D. ①②④ 45. Which of the following best represents the structure of the passage? A. Tell stories→ List facts→ Give a warning B. Ask questions→ Explain steps→ Share a fact C. List problems→ Study reasons→ Offer advice D. Share→ experiences → Show examples→ Introduce features 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Lab-grown (实验室培育) meat is made by taking a small sample of cells (细胞样本) from a living animal. These cells are then grown in a lab and shaped into cuts of meat. The sale of this meat is OK in some countries, like the US, Singapore and Israel. Some people like it, while others are not sure. What do you think? Would you eat it? Yes! Some people think it’s cruel (残忍的) to kill animals for food, and many farmed animals are not treated well. This is not a problem for lab-grown meat. Also, the meat is safer to eat because it is made in a clean lab and has a smaller chance of harmful bacteria (细菌) spreading. What’s more, lab-grown meat is better for the environment. Farming animals causes about 14.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. When animals like cows eat and digest (消化) food, they release methane gas (释放甲烷气体). Animal waste also releases greenhouse gases when it breaks down this gases trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere and make the planet warmer. Lab-grown meat can help cut down this pollution. No! Lab-grown meat is new and not many people have eaten it yet. We don’t know what the long term influences will be. Besides, it might not be as good for the climate. As some people say, a study from the university of oxford found that, in the long run, lab-grown meat might not be better for the environment than farmed animals. This is because growing the meat on a large scale (规模) uses a lot of energy. Lastly, lab-grown meat could harm farmers. If lab-grown meat becomes very popular, many farmers may have a hard time selling their farmed animals. In short, lab-grown meat has good and bad points. It’s good for animals and the environment. But there are still things we are not sure about. Maybe if we keep looking into it, we can solve its problems. Then it could be another everyday food that we all enjoy, doing no harm to animals or the environment. Would you eat lab-grown meat? An introduction to lab-grown meat  It comes from taking a small cell from a living animal and growing it in a lab.  Some countries ____46____ its sale.
