She can do better in many subjects if she spends more time in her study. She must take things more seriously. 21. What grade did Sarah get for Foreign Language? A A-. B. A. C. B-. D. B. 22.

A. is a 14-year-old girl B. is good at writing articles C. wants to be a boy sometimes D. loves playing football with boys B Think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to shout! Don’t worry! This thing would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (有压力的). “Plants make sounds to communicate with insects and other animals all the time,” said Lilach Hadany, the researcher of the study, “but those sounds are undetectable to humans’ ears.” With this in mind, the team started the research by recording the plants’ sounds. First, the team developed a smart machine that can record and translate the sounds of plants. Then they divided plants into three groups: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the last group was untouched. The result showed that untouched plants stayed quiet, but in other two groups, these plants made sounds up to 40 clicks every hour.More interestingly, thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning, with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty, then lower as they died. This result helps us better understand how plants manage stress and how they communicate with the world around them. It can also help farmers to tell which plant is thirsty, which one is hurt or which one is healthy, so that they can water them in time or protect them from disease. Scientists are still working on inventing machines to help farmers to understand their plants better. They also wonder if the plants make sounds because of other reasons. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By explaining the sounds of a tomato. B. By comparing the sounds of two tomatoes. C. By telling a fact about a shouting tomato. D. By introducing an idea about a shouting tomato. 27. What does the underlined word “undetectable” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Unacceptable. B. Unchangeable. C. Uncomfortable. D. Unnoticeable. 28. Which is most like the sound wave of the thirsty plant? (s=sound wave t=time) A. B. C. D. 29. What is the scientists’ future plan? A. To buy new machines to help farmers. B. To study further why plants make sound. C. To make plants grow faster by playing sound. D. To record sounds from different kinds of plants. 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Secret Sounds of Plants B. Machines That Talk to Plants C. How Plants Grow in Sound D. Secret Conversation in Nature C 阅读填空。阅读短文及文后A~E选项，请选出可以填入61-65各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将对应选项涂黑。 Overtourism (过度旅游) : What can you do? Travel helps people to have a better understanding of life. But the fast growth of travel has led to many problems in certain places. ____31____ Certainly not. Travel is so important. We just need to travel smarter. Here are some easy ways to meet less overcrowding and have better trips: ● Choose carefully. Overvisited places are so popular because they’re special. Everyone sees many beautiful photos, videos online of the same places. ____32____ But these are not must-see sights. Just go somewhere only when the beautiful sights, culture or food deeply and truly excite you, not just places others say you “must” see. Travel for yourself and no one else. ● Be creative. The best way is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is a problem all over the world, in fact, most tourists crowd into just a few places. ____33____ You can even find some undiscovered places. Why not choose a place with less-known sights? ● ____34____ You’ll travel with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place by visiting during off-season times. All in all, when we travel, we step into places that are not just tourist destinations (目的地)—they are other people’s homes and valuable culture. ___35___ In return, we should give back by leaving these places as beautiful as we found them. Let’s protect these places for local people and future travelers, while we are enjoying our trips and discovering new places. A. Try to avoid busy seasons. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. They offer us wonderful experiences. D. It seems you’ll regret it if you miss them.

All the birds flew to safety, but Susan stayed at her home. “I worked hard to build this home,” she cried. “I won’t leave it!” The storm became worse. Susan held onto her home tightly (紧紧地) as the wind shook the branches. Suddenly, the strong wind broke her home totally. Small branches flew everywhere as Susan flew through the air. She waved her wings hard and landed safely in a tree hole. She waited. The storm didn’t end until the next morning. When the storm ended, Susan saw that her home was gone. Broken branches and wet leaves covered the ground. She felt sad at first, but then noticed the sun returning. “I can rebuild my home,” Susan decided. She collected new leaves and little branches. This time, she built her home between two strong branches, making it even stronger than before. When the other birds returned, they were so surprised to see Susan’s new home. Susan said proudly, “The storm took my home, but not my hope. Now I’m stronger” After that day, Susan wasn’t afraid of storms anymore.

Suddenly, the tomato starts to shout!”可知，作者是通过引入一个关于喊叫的西红柿的想法开始这篇文章的。故选D。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Plants make sounds to communicate with insects and other animals all the time... but those sounds are undetectable to human’s ears.”可知，植物能发出声音与昆虫和其他动物交流，但是这些声音是人的耳朵无法察觉到的。因此此处undetectable与选项D“unnoticeable(难以察觉的)”意思相近。故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“More interestingly, thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning, with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty, then lower as they died.”可知，口渴的植物在开始时发出越来越大的声音，当它们非常口渴时声音最大，然后随着它们的死亡声音变小。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They also wonder if the plants make sounds because of other reasons.”可知，他们还想知道植物发出声音是否是因为其他原因。故选B。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了一项新的研究成果，即植物在受到压力时会发出声音。故选A。 C 阅读填空。阅读短文及文后A~E选项，请选出可以填入61-65各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将对应选项涂黑。 Overtourism (过度旅游) : What can you do? Travel helps people to have a better understanding of life. But the fast growth of travel has led to many problems in certain places. ____31____ Certainly not. Travel is so important. We just need to travel smarter. Here are some easy ways to meet less overcrowding and have better trips: ● Choose carefully. Overvisited places are so popular because they’re special. Everyone sees many beautiful photos, videos online of the same places. ____32____ But these are not must-see sights. Just go somewhere only when the beautiful sights, culture or food deeply and truly excite you, not just places others say you “must” see. Travel for yourself and no one else. ● Be creative. The best way is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is a problem all over the world, in fact, most tourists crowd into just a few places. ____33____ You can even find some undiscovered places. Why not choose a place with less-known sights? ● ____34____ You’ll travel with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place by visiting during off-season times. All in all, when we travel, we step into places that are not just tourist destinations (目的地)—they are other people’s homes and valuable culture. ___35___ In return, we should give back by leaving these places as beautiful as we found them. Let’s protect these places for local people and future travelers, while we are enjoying our trips and discovering new places. A. Try to avoid busy seasons. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. They offer us wonderful experiences. D. It seems you’ll regret it if you miss them. E. It means there are still wonderful places with fewer visitors. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. E 34. A 35.

But the fast growth of travel has led to many problems in certain places.”以及“Certainly not. Travel is so important.”可知，旅游虽然带来问题，但很重要，所以此处是在问是否应该停止旅游，选项B“那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？”符合，故选B。 【32题详解】 根据“Overvisited places are so popular because they’re special. Everyone sees many beautiful photos, videos online of the same places.”以及“But these are not must-see sights.”可知，网上有很多热门景点的照片和视频，让人觉得错过会后悔，但实际上它们不是必看的景点，选项D“如果你错过了它们，似乎你会感到遗憾。”符合，故选D。 【33题详解】 根据“The best way is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is a problem all over the world, in fact, most tourists crowd into just a few places.”以及“You can even find some undiscovered places.”可知，虽然过度旅游是个问题，但大多数游客只集中在几个地方，这意味着还有很多很棒但游客少的地方，选项E“这意味着仍然有一些很棒但游客较少的地方。”符合，故选E。 【34题详解】 根据“You’ll travel with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place by visiting during off-season times.”可知，此处是在说在淡季旅游的好处，所以标题应该是关于避开旺季的，选项A“尽量避开旅游旺季。”符合，故选A。 【35题详解】 根据“All in all, when we travel, we step into places that are not just tourist destinations (目的地) —they are other people’s homes and valuable culture.”以及“In return, we should give back by leaving these places as beautiful as we found them.”可知，旅游地是别人的家和宝贵的文化，它们能给我们提供很棒的经历，我们也应该让这些地方保持美丽，选项C“它们能为我们提供美妙的体验。”符合，故选C。 四、短文填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 请从方框内选择适当的词，并根据需要用其正确形式填空，使文章语法正确、完整连贯，并将答案写在答题卡对应题目的答题位置上。注意：每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余项。 all; health; well; like; eat; how; though; make; cookie; why; so; we Food is life.

She loved her comfortable home. She often sang songs and enjoyed the sun every day. One afternoon, it was stormy and windy. All the birds flew to safety, but Susan stayed at her home. “I worked hard to build this home,” she cried. “I won’t leave it!” The storm became worse. Susan held onto her home tightly (紧紧地) as the wind shook the branches. Suddenly, the strong wind broke her home totally. Small branches flew everywhere as Susan flew through the air. She waved her wings hard and landed safely in a tree hole. She waited. The storm didn’t end until the next morning. When the storm ended, Susan saw that her home was gone. Broken branches and wet leaves covered the ground. She felt sad at first, but then noticed the sun returning. “I can rebuild my home,” Susan decided. She collected new leaves and little branches. This time, she built her home between two strong branches, making it even stronger than before. When the other birds returned, they were so surprised to see Susan’s new home. Susan said proudly, “The storm took my home, but not my hope. Now I’m stronger” After that day, Susan wasn’t afraid of storms anymore. She learned that no matter how strong the storm may be, she could always rebuild her home. Have you ever made an important decision like Susan? 46.

I also joined the English corner to talk with others.​ It was hard at first. I often made mistakes and felt nervous. But I kept going. Now I can speak more confidently. This decision taught me that courage and persistence can help us grow. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了小鸟苏珊的故事：苏珊原本住在舒适的树上家中，每天唱歌、享受阳光。一场暴风雨把家摧毁。风暴过后，苏珊没有气馁，而是重建了更坚固的家。苏珊也明白无论风暴多猛烈，自己总能重建家园。 【46题详解】 根据“She often sang songs and enjoyed the sun every day.”可知，苏珊每天在她家唱歌并享受阳光。故填She often sang songs and enjoyed the sun. 47题详解】 根据“All the birds flew to safety, but Susan stayed at her home. ‘I worked hard to build this home,’ she cried. ‘I won’t leave it!’”可知，苏珊不离开是因为这个家是她辛苦建造的，她舍不得离开。故填Because she worked hard to build the home and didn’t want to leave it. 【48题详解】 根据“When the storm ended, Susan saw that her home was gone.”可知，风暴结束后，她的家消失了。故填Her home was gone. 【49题详解】 根据“She collected new leaves and little branches.”可知，苏珊为新家收集了新的树叶和小树枝。故填She collected new leaves and little branches. 【50题详解】 根据“When the other birds returned, they were so surprised to see Susan’s new home.”可知，其他鸟儿回来后感到很惊讶。故填They felt surprised. 【51题详解】 [总体分析]​ ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文，围绕“An important decision”展开，讲述了自己坚持练习英语口语这一重要决定的过程及收获； ②时态：以一般过去时为主，描述做决定的背景、过程及最初的困难；使用现在完成时强调决定的影响持续至今；用一般现在时说明现状和感悟，时态运用贴合叙事逻辑； ③提示：文章紧扣主题，包含重要决定的具体内容、做决定的原因、实施过程、遇到的困难及收获），内容完整，积极向上，逻辑连贯，未出现真实信息，词数符合要求。​ [写作步骤]​ 第一步，开篇承接已给句子，点明自己最重要的决定是上学期坚持每天练习英语口语，引出下文对该决定的具体阐述； 第二步，描述做决定的背景和过程。说明起初害怕在公共场合说英语，但意识到其重要性后决定改变，进而采取听英文歌跟读、参加英语角交流等行动； 第三步，讲述实施过程中的困难及坚持后的收获。提到起初很难，常犯错且紧张，但坚持了下来，现在能更自信地说英语，最后点明这个决定让自己明白勇气和坚持能帮助成长，升华主题。​ [亮点词汇]​ ①oral English英语口语​ ②in public公开地​ ③English corner英语角​ ④persistence坚持​ ⑤grow成长​ [高分句型]​ ①One of the most important decisions I’ve made was to keep practicing my oral English every day last term.（使用定语从句）​ ②This decision taught me that courage and persistence can help us grow.（“that”引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
