The Taihe Hall, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall make up the Forbidden City’s central line. There are more than 70 palaces with over 9,000 rooms on both sides of it.

The yard sale was a huge success. People from all over the neighborhood came to look at the things on sale. There were clothes, books and toys. A worker in our community said that people had prepared for the yard sale for three months. One thing that stood out about this yard sale was how truthful everyone was. People were h... about the condition of their things and didn’t cheat anyone. It moved me deeply. In the yard sale, there was something for everyone. Some people were looking for popular things in the past, while others were searching for modern pieces. There were also some special things that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. All in all, the yard sale brought our community together and it provided a fun way to tidy our homes. It was also a great way to meet new people and catch up with old friends. We hope to have more events like this in the future. 29. Why was it a good time for everyone to have a yard sale? A. Because the community asked them to do that. B. Because the yard sale was successful. C. Because they could clear out their unwanted things and make some money. D. Because the things were cheap. 30.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者所在社区举办的庭院旧货出售活动。这次活动非常成功，人们清理了不需要的物品并赚到了一些钱，活动还展现了大家的诚实，增进了社区的凝聚力，作者希望未来能有更多这样的活动。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It was a good time for everyone to clear out their unwanted things and make some money.”可知，对每个人来说，举办庭院旧货出售活动是个好时机是因为他们可以清理掉不需要的东西并赚些钱。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There were clothes, books and toys.”可知，出售的物品中有衣服、书和玩具，选项中“sweaters（毛衣）”属于衣服，“The book Journey to the West（《西游记》）”属于书，“Toy cars（玩具汽车）”属于玩具，而“Bikes（自行车）”未被提及。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“People were h... about the condition of their things and didn’t cheat anyone. It moved me deeply.”以及前文提到“One thing that stood out about this yard sale was how truthful everyone was.”可知，这次庭院旧货出售活动的一个突出之处是每个人都非常诚实，所以此处应是说人们对他们物品的状况很诚实，不欺骗任何人，“Honest（诚实的）”符合语境。故选A。 C Some animals have special abilities that even humans don’t have. Here shows you some of their magic and secrets. Mice can’t see well, but their whiskers (胡须) in front of their mouths help them to “see”. When a mouse’s whiskers touch something, the mouse gets an idea of what’s around it. Mice are good jumpers, climbers and swimmers. They usually walk, run or stand on all four legs. But when they eat, fight or look for directions, they stand on their back legs. Sharks are the best animal hunters. Sharks can find other animals even if they hide in sand. Sharks look huge and dangerous but out of more than 360 kinds, only a few are dangerous for people. Not all sharks are huge. Some that live in deep water are only 22 cm long. The biggest kind can grow to 12 m long. Hummingbirds can see what we can’t see! Light is made up of waves. We can only see light waves that are about 380 to 780 nanometers (纳米) long. But hummingbirds can see some light waves that we can’t see. Some things look colorless to humans but are very colorful for hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are very small birds that live mostly in North and South America. The smallest kind weighs 1.8 g . Even the largest weighs only 24 g. Hummingbirds can beat their wings very quickly—15 to 80 times every second. A hummingbird eats more than his own weight each day. So they have to visit hundreds of flowers every day. 32. What is a mouse probably doing when you see it standing on its back legs? A. It’s being cheated. B. It’s looking for food. C. It’s following other animals. D. It’s looking for directions. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about sharks? A. Sharks look huge and dangerous. B. Not all sharks are a great danger to man. C. Sharks use eyelids to protect their eyes from harm. D. Sharks are from 22 cm to 12 m long. 34. What can we infer about hummingbirds? A. They live mainly in North and South China. B. They are hard-working and have a large diet. C. They can see some light waves that we can also see. D. They can’t see light waves more than 780 nanometers long. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Amazing animals with super powers B. Mice, sharks and hummingbirds C. Animals smarter than humans D. The new finding of American scientists 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些拥有特殊能力的动物，包括老鼠、鲨鱼和蜂鸟，详细阐述了它们各自独特的能力和特点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But when they eat, fight or look for directions, they stand on their back legs.”可知，当老鼠站立在后腿上时，它们可能是在寻找方向。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Sharks look huge and dangerous but out of more than 360 kinds, only a few are dangerous for people. Not all sharks are huge. Some that live in deep water are only 22 cm long. The biggest kind can grow to 12 m long.”可知，文章提到了鲨鱼看起来巨大且危险，但不是所有鲨鱼对人类都构成巨大威胁，鲨鱼的长度从22厘米到12米不等，但并未提及鲨鱼使用眼睑保护眼睛免受伤害。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hummingbirds can beat their wings very quickly—15 to 80 times every second. A hummingbird eats more than his own weight each day. So they have to visit hundreds of flowers every day.”可知，蜂鸟翅膀拍打速度快，每天吃的食物超过自身体重，需要访问数百朵花，由此可推断出它们勤劳且食量大。故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Some animals have special abilities that even humans don’t have. Here shows you some of their magic and secrets.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一些拥有超能力的神奇动物。故选A。 D Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school? If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends. Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, wrote My Feelings are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It cannot make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act”, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily, and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry. When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby, you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do. The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three. ★Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily. ★Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry. ★Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh. 36. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By giving an example. D. By showing opinions. 37. What will happen if you get angry easily? A. We’ll get ill easily. B. We’ll eat less. C. We’ll lose our friends. D. We’ll put on weight easily. 38. What does the book written by Gary mainly teach us? A. How to read. B. How to stay cool. C. How to make friends. D. How to learn English well. 39. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the fourth paragraph? A. The book. B. The habit. C. The baby. D. Anger. 40. What can you not do when you get angry according to the book? A. Keep a record. B. Do something different. C. Ask our friends to stop talking to us. D. Shout at anyone loudly. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章探讨了容易生气的问题，指出容易生气会让人失去朋友，并介绍了Gary Egeberg所写的一本书，书中提供了多种控制愤怒情绪的建议。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?”可知，作者通过提问的方式引出文章主题。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.”可知，如果容易生气，会失去朋友。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.”可知，Gary写的书主要教青少年如何在坏事发生时保持冷静。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it.”可知，当一个婴儿摔倒时，只有当人们看着它的时候它才会哭，由此可知it指代的是“The baby”。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后三段“★Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry...★Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry...★Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh.”可知，书中建议生气时可以记录原因、让朋友停止交谈、做些不同的事情，但没有建议对任何人大声喊叫。故选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 About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusics”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 41. What are amusic people? ______________________________________________________________ 42. Why is life hard for amusics? ______________________________________________________________ 43. What did Mary use to hate? ______________________________________________________________ 44. What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? ______________________________________________________________ 45. What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 42. Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 43. Parties. 44. Their brains. 45. I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“amusics（音盲）”，这类人天生无法欣赏音乐，科学家研究发现其大脑与能欣赏音乐的人不同，很多音盲在确诊后会感觉好一些。 【41题详解】 根据“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.”可知，音盲天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。故填They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 【42题详解】 根据“Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic.”可知，对于音盲来说，生活可能会很艰难。这是因为大多数人无法理解音盲感受。故填Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 【43题详解】 根据“I used to hate parties”可知，玛丽过去讨厌派对。故填Parties. 【44题详解】 根据“Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.”可知，科学家认为是大脑的差异导致音盲与大多数人不同。故填Their brains. 【45题详解】 因为玛丽是音盲，无法欣赏音乐，所以当别人邀请她去音乐会时，她可能会说明自己的情况并拒绝，答案合理即可。参考答案为：I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 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。 (Two students, Sam and Jenny, are talking on the phone.)

It’s now one of the most famous places of interest in China. Looking down from the Forbidden City, you’ll be surprised to find that it’s a symmetrical layout (对称布局). The Taihe Hall, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall make up the Forbidden City’s central line. There are more than 70 palaces with over 9,000 rooms on both sides of it. Yellow is its dominant (首要的) color, and many things are painted with this color. The Taihe Hall is the biggest palace of China, and it is made of wood. There is wide open space in front of it, commonly known as yuetai. The lower part of the Taihe Hall is built of stone with a height of 8.13 meters, surrounded by railings (栏杆). Under the railings, there are some stone dragons. During the rainy season, you can see a wonder of thousands of dragons spitting water. In recent years, the 600-year-old Forbidden City has become famous through the Internet. A “Digital Forbidden City” has also been created—it has allowed people to visit the palace like being there on the Internet and see it in different views. Also, it shows thousands of cultural and artistic objects. These objects are very popular with people. 26. Which one is the biggest palace in China? A. The Baohe Hall. B. The Taihe Hall. C.

Our community held a yard sale. It was a good time for everyone to clear out their unwanted things and make some money. The memory of this event will surely stay with me for a long time. The yard sale was a huge success. People from all over the neighborhood came to look at the things on sale. There were clothes, books and toys. A worker in our community said that people had prepared for the yard sale for three months. One thing that stood out about this yard sale was how truthful everyone was. People were h... about the condition of their things and didn’t cheat anyone. It moved me deeply. In the yard sale, there was something for everyone. Some people were looking for popular things in the past, while others were searching for modern pieces. There were also some special things that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. All in all, the yard sale brought our community together and it provided a fun way to tidy our homes. It was also a great way to meet new people and catch up with old friends. We hope to have more events like this in the future. 29. Why was it a good time for everyone to have a yard sale? A. Because the community asked them to do that. B. Because the yard sale was successful. C. Because they could clear out their unwanted things and make some money. D. Because the things were cheap. 30. What things on sale may not be mentioned in the second paragraph? A. The book Journey to the West. B. Bikes. C. Sweaters. D. Toy cars. 31. Which is the proper word in the sentence “People were h... about the condition of their things and didn’t cheat anyone” in paragraph 3? A. Honest. B. Huge. C. Hurt. D. Heavy. C Some animals have special abilities that even humans don’t have. Here shows you some of their magic and secrets. Mice can’t see well, but their whiskers (胡须) in front of their mouths help them to “see”. When a mouse’s whiskers touch something, the mouse gets an idea of what’s around it. Mice are good jumpers, climbers and swimmers. They usually walk, run or stand on all four legs. But when they eat, fight or look for directions, they stand on their back legs. Sharks are the best animal hunters. Sharks can find other animals even if they hide in sand. Sharks look huge and dangerous but out of more than 360 kinds, only a few are dangerous for people. Not all sharks are huge. Some that live in deep water are only 22 cm long. The biggest kind can grow to 12 m long. Hummingbirds can see what we can’t see! Light is made up of waves. We can only see light waves that are about 380 to 780 nanometers (纳米) long. But hummingbirds can see some light waves that we can’t see. Some things look colorless to humans but are very colorful for hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are very small birds that live mostly in North and South America. The smallest kind weighs 1.8 g . Even the largest weighs only 24 g. Hummingbirds can beat their wings very quickly—15 to 80 times every second. A hummingbird eats more than his own weight each day. So they have to visit hundreds of flowers every day. 32. What is a mouse probably doing when you see it standing on its back legs? A. It’s being cheated. B. It’s looking for food. C. It’s following other animals. D. It’s looking for directions. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about sharks? A. Sharks look huge and dangerous. B. Not all sharks are a great danger to man. C. Sharks use eyelids to protect their eyes from harm. D. Sharks are from 22 cm to 12 m long. 34. What can we infer about hummingbirds? A. They live mainly in North and South China. B. They are hard-working and have a large diet. C. They can see some light waves that we can also see. D. They can’t see light waves more than 780 nanometers long. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Amazing animals with super powers B. Mice, sharks and hummingbirds C. Animals smarter than humans D. The new finding of American scientists D Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school? If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends. Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, wrote My Feelings are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It cannot make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act”, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily, and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry. When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby, you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do. The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three. ★Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily. ★Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry. ★Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh. 36. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By giving an example. D. By showing opinions. 37. What will happen if you get angry easily? A. We’ll get ill easily. B. We’ll eat less. C. We’ll lose our friends. D. We’ll put on weight easily. 38. What does the book written by Gary mainly teach us? A. How to read. B. How to stay cool. C. How to make friends. D. How to learn English well. 39. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the fourth paragraph? A. The book. B. The habit. C. The baby. D. Anger. 40. What can you not do when you get angry according to the book? A. Keep a record. B. Do something different. C. Ask our friends to stop talking to us. D. Shout at anyone loudly. 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。 About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusics”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 41. What are amusic people? ______________________________________________________________ 42. Why is life hard for amusics? ______________________________________________________________ 43. What did Mary use to hate? ______________________________________________________________ 44. What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? ______________________________________________________________ 45. What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? ______________________________________________________________ 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。 (Two students, Sam and Jenny, are talking on the phone.)
