Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense (感觉) of smell. They can smell even a drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can feel the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
18.Where is this passage most probably from?
A.An art magazine. B.A travel magazine.
C.A culture magazine. D.A science magazine.

A.Secret. B.Choice. C.Reason. D.Surface.

Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? 26 Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.
27 People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter. This leaves the community (社区) in a mess. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help.

In fact, you can do a lot for them. 28 Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can’t see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.
Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favorite books with them. Besides, you may read aloud to each other and talk about what you read. Either a book or an article can spark a lively discussion and your further thinking. The process often challenges more people to take action. The project is also a good way to welcome newcomers. 29
30 But if you make good use of it, it’s enough to make a difference.
A.Organize a clean-up program.
B.A two-month summer vacation isn’t that long.
C.Every person has his own talents and interests.
D.Start by asking yourself why you want to volunteer.
E.For example, you can talk with them or play games with them.

六、阅读表达(共3小题;54题2分,55题2分,56题3分,满分7分)
阅读下面的短文,用英语回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
When I was in college, I took English literature (文学) classes. Every month, we read and discussed a classic novel. The books had different themes, but we always asked the same question: What did the writer want people to get from the story?
For the first few months, I kept wondering: If a writer wants to express a message, why not do it directly? Why did Ernest Hemingway, for example, write about an old man fighting a big fish? Didn’t he just want to tell people to keep going when things get hard?
The more I read, the more I understood why. Great writers don’t tell; they show. Nobody likes a lecture (讲座). Just think about how you feel when your parents tell you not to waste money on blind boxes. But everybody enjoys a good story. While discussing a story, we uncover its deeper meanings. A good story makes a book a classic.
After all these years of editing (编辑) work, I’ve become a better writer. In many of my articles, I chose to “show” rather than “tell.” For example, I didn’t directly tell you to exercise more. Instead, I shared an experience that pushed me to change some habits.
Classic novels have taught me many other lessons. I’ve picked up lots of useful words. I’ve also learned to write with my readers in mind. You can also read to write better. Walk into a great “castle” (城堡) and find out what makes it great. Over time, you’ll be ready to build a great “castle” of your own.
54.What question did the writer ask after finishing every classic novel?
55.What has the writer learned by reading classic novels? (Give at least 2 points.)
56.If you are in a book “castle”, which book will you choose? Give the name of the book and explain your reason.
【答案】54.What did the writer want people to get from the story? 55.The writer has learned to pick up lots of useful words and to write with readers in mind. 56.开放性试题,答案合理即可。If I am in a book “castle,” I will choose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen because its witty dialogue and deep exploration of human relationships inspire me to write with more nuance.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense (感觉) of smell. They can smell even a drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can feel the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
18.Where is this passage most probably from?
A.An art magazine. B.A travel magazine.
C.A culture magazine. D.A science magazine.

21.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Help Animals in Forest B.Animals’ Sense of Smell
C.Animals’ Sense of Direction D.How Animals Travel in Desert

Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? 26 Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.
27 People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter. This leaves the community (社区) in a mess. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighborhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days.

Money Management
Learning how to manage money is an important skill for everyone. When we get money, we need to think about how to use it 39 . First, we should make a list of how much money we have and what we need to buy. This helps us see where our money goes. Next, it’s a good idea to save some money.

Shadow puppet play (皮影戏) is a traditional Chinese art. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. It’s a very special 44 interesting way to tell stories.

While doing this, they tell 46 (live) stories and there is local music to go with them. These stories usually come from Chinese legends (传说), history, and folk tales, and they have a lot of cultural meaning.
Sam is a foreign student from America. He 47 (come) to China last year. When he visited a museum in Xi’an, he fell in love 48 shadow puppet play. The colorful puppets and the attractive stories caught his attention. He made up his mind to learn this art. He thought it was a great way to learn about Chinese culture and also a way to bring different 49 (culture) together.

六、阅读表达(共3小题;54题2分,55题2分,56题3分,满分7分)
阅读下面的短文,用英语回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
When I was in college, I took English literature (文学) classes. Every month, we read and discussed a classic novel. The books had different themes, but we always asked the same question: What did the writer want people to get from the story?
For the first few months, I kept wondering: If a writer wants to express a message, why not do it directly? Why did Ernest Hemingway, for example, write about an old man fighting a big fish? Didn’t he just want to tell people to keep going when things get hard?
The more I read, the more I understood why. Great writers don’t tell; they show. Nobody likes a lecture (讲座). Just think about how you feel when your parents tell you not to waste money on blind boxes. But everybody enjoys a good story. While discussing a story, we uncover its deeper meanings. A good story makes a book a classic.
After all these years of editing (编辑) work, I’ve become a better writer. In many of my articles, I chose to “show” rather than “tell.” For example, I didn’t directly tell you to exercise more. Instead, I shared an experience that pushed me to change some habits.
Classic novels have taught me many other lessons. I’ve picked up lots of useful words. I’ve also learned to write with my readers in mind. You can also read to write better. Walk into a great “castle” (城堡) and find out what makes it great. Over time, you’ll be ready to build a great “castle” of your own.
54.What question did the writer ask after finishing every classic novel?
55.What has the writer learned by reading classic novels? (Give at least 2 points.)
56.If you are in a book “castle”, which book will you choose? Give the name of the book and explain your reason.
七、书面表达(共1小题;满分25分)
57.为促进学生对传统文化的了解,我校国学社特举行“国潮文化节”。假设你是国学社社员李华,请你结合“国潮热”这一现象,谈谈你对中国传统文化的看法。根据以下要点写一篇演讲稿,内容包括:
1.你认为“国潮热”产生的原因;
2.介绍你喜欢的一种传统文化形式(如传统节日、饮食、服饰等)及理由;
3.呼吁大家积极弘扬中华优秀传统文化;
要求:
1.语句连贯、词数100左右;
2.开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总词数。
As more and more people know more about the charm of traditional Chinese culture, it’s common for us to see guochao everywhere.
