She skipped all around the gardens for quite a while. Even the gardener was impressed. “Look there, the robin is even more interested in you now,” he said. “He’s never seen a rope like that!” Mary skipped on, always reaching twenty, and then having to start over again. Then she noticed that the robin had followed her, and was singing to her from a tree branch. As she jumped, she remembered the key in her pocket. “You helped me find this key. Why don’t you help me find the door, too?” she said to the robin. The bird then flew to the top of the garden wall, and sang a very pretty song, as if showing off. Just then, a great wind blew through the garden path (小路), and loosened (松开) some of the ivy (常春藤) that grew along the garden wall. For a brief moment, Mary could have sworn that she had seen something shiny behind the moving ivy. She felt a doorknob. And underneath the doorknob was a keyhole. Quickly, Mary took out the key, and found that it fit perfectly in the hole. She had to use both hands to turn it, and she soon felt a click.

Baduanjin is one of the oldest forms of Chinese qigong (a group of deep-breathing exercises). It is famous for its health benefits (好处).

In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish bowl with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. In this special closed ecosystem (封闭生态系统), the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle(针管). Such a closed-loop ecosystem is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on the Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On the Earth, gravity pulls everything to the Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger, said The Conversation. Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists know more about human health. 32. What do we know about the space study? A. Scientists from different countries did it together. B. It took place in a closed ecosystem. C The zebrafish gave birth to four babies in the end. D. It lasted for less than one month. 33. Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish bowl? A. B. C. D. 34. What can we infer about the result of the low gravity in space? A. Human bodies got less strong. B. Animals could easily find their way. C. The zebrafish swam on their back. D. The zebrafish could fly out of water. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The plan for studying human genes. B. The findings of the space study. C. Further studies on zebrafish. D. The importance of the study. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国科学家在太空对斑马鱼进行研究的成果，包括斑马鱼在封闭生态系统中的生存和繁殖情况，以及低重力对其行为的影响等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world.”以及“In this special closed ecosystem (封闭生态系统), the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food.”可知，这项太空研究是在封闭生态系统中进行的。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In this special closed ecosystem (封闭生态系统), the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food.”可知，植物为鱼提供空气，鱼的排泄物为植物提供养分，B选项符合。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On the Earth, gravity pulls everything to the Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger, said The Conversation.”可知，在地球上，重力将一切物体拉向地心，动物可以轻松辨别方向，重力还会使它们的身体更努力地工作，从而变得更强壮。而在低重力的太空中，斑马鱼经常肚皮朝上游泳，其行为与在地球上不同。由此可推测出，太空中的低重力有可能导致身体不那么强壮。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists know more about human health.”可知，这项发现将帮助科学家更好地了解人类健康，所以体现了这项研究的重要性。故选D。 E ①IShowSpeed (甲亢哥), a 19-year-old YouTube streamer (网红) with 37 million followers, recently took a trip to China. This trip has turned into something special. It has become a great example of cultural exchange between the US and China, getting millions of views (关注度) and changing how Western people think about China. ②Millions of foreigners like IShowSpeed are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free-transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this hit. So far, China has offered visa-free entry to travelers from 54 countries. And the hours they can stay has been extended from 144 hours to 240 hours. ③The visa-free-transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72 hours in big cities in China. Now, travelers can go anywhere they’d like to know more about. It has attracted more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局). ④Seeing is believing. Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. ⑤“Chongqing is an unbelievably good, beautiful and modern cyber city, totally different from any other city that I have seen around the world,” said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. “This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China—we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves.” ⑥Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked through 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. “These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China,” said Yuyuantantian. 36. How does the writer start the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By giving advice. 37. Which is not the reason why more foreigners visit China now? A. They would like to follow some YouTuber streamers. B. China has become the most fashionable country in the world. C. They want to know if Western media’s words about China are true. D. They are attracted by China’s visa-free-transit policy. 38. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A. Famous Places in China for Foreigners B. Experiences of Foreign YouTubers in China C. China’s New Visa Rules for Tourists D. IShowSpeed—A Famous YouTube Streamer 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了像IshowSpeed这样的外国网红来中国旅行，以及中国过境免签政策吸引更多外国人来中国，让他们看到真实的中国。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，文中提到甲亢哥这个拥有3700万粉丝的网红来到中国旅行，这个事例其实是为了引出后面关于外国游客来中国以及文化交流等一系列内容。故作者通过举例来进行开篇。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Millions of foreigners like IShowSpeed are visiting China and posting their travel videos.”，“The visa-free-transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this hit. So far, China has offered visa-free entry to travelers from 54 countries.”和“This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China—we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves.”可知，受网红影响想来中国、中国的过境免签政策、外国人想亲自验证西方媒体关于中国的言论是否真实都是外国人来中国的原因，文中未提及中国是世界上最时尚的国家。故选B。 【38题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段以IshowSpeed来中国旅行引出话题；第二段介绍过境免签政策及受益国家等；第三段进一步阐述过境免签政策的发展；第四段表明政策让更多人看到真实中国；第五段通过爱尔兰网红的话举例说明；第六段指出外国人旅行活动的变化。①是总起，②③围绕过境免签政策展开，④让更多人看到真实中国，⑤⑥围绕外国人来中国旅行体验展开。A选项结构符合。故选A。 【39题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要围绕中国的过境免签政策展开，介绍其吸引外国人来中国，让他们了解真实中国。C选项“中国针对游客的新签证政策”符合主旨。故选C。 V. 口语运用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Danny, what time is it now?

Some students think they should spend all their time on studying, while others don’t know how to do it. However, teachers and parents believe doing housework is important for students’ growth. The following stories show how three students learned from doing housework. Wang Mei’s Chore Journey Wang Mei is a 14-year-old girl from Jiangsu. She has been helping her parents with housework since she was 10. Every day after school, she sweeps the floor, washes the dishes, and sometimes cooks simple meals. At first, she didn’t like doing chores and thought it was boring. But over time, she became better at doing chores and took more responsibilities (责任) at home. Now she even teaches her classmates to do simple chores. Tom’s Weekend Challenge Tom is a 13-year-old student in London. Every weekend, he writes a short diary about the chores he does. Last Saturday, he helped his dad clean the car and watered the plants in the garden. On Sunday, he cooked a simple breakfast for his family. By doing chores, Tom has learned useful life skills. He also gave a talk at school about why children should help with housework. Doing chores teaches them teamwork and develops their independence. Li Ming’s Change at Home Li Ming, a student from Sichuan, used to think housework was only for moms. His mother did almost everything at home, while he and his father hardly helped. One day, his mother got sick and had to rest in bed. Li Ming and his dad had to take care of everything. It was much harder than they had thought. They didn’t even know how to use the washing machine at first. But slowly, they learned how to do housework well. Now Li Ming often shares housework and helps the family. He believes that all children and dads should do their part, not just moms. 45. Did Wang Mei enjoy doing chores at first? ____________________________________________ 46. When did Tom water the plants in the garden? ____________________________________________ 47. What did all three students learn from doing housework? (At least two points) ____________________________________________ 48. Some parents encourage their children to do housework by paying them. Do you think it’s a good idea? Why or why not? (About 30 words) ____________________________________________ 【答案】45. No, she didn’t. 46. Last Saturday. 47. They learned useful life skills and developed a sense of responsibility by doing chores. They also realized the importance of sharing housework and being independent. 48. Yes. Because paying kids for chores can encourage them to work, and help them to learn earning, saving and teamwork in families. It also makes doing chores fun and fair, like a small job./No. Because it may cause kids to do chores only for money instead of out of duty. Chores can teach students responsibility and teamwork, but not paid jobs. It’s better to praise effort better than use money. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过讲述三个学生的故事告诉我们做家务对学生成长很重要。 【45题详解】 根据“At first, she didn’t like doing chores and thought it was boring.”可知起初王梅不喜欢做家务。故填No, she didn’t. 【46题详解】 根据“Last Saturday, he helped his dad clean the car and watered the plants in the garden.”可知上周六汤姆浇了花园里的花。故填Last Saturday. 【47题详解】 根据“But over time, she became better at doing chores and took more responsibilities (责任) at home.”，“By doing chores, Tom has learned useful life skills…Doing chores teaches them teamwork and develops their independence.”以及“But slowly, they learned how to do housework well. Now Li Ming often shares housework and helps the family.”可知他们通过做家务学会了有用的生活技能并培养了一种责任感，他们还意识到了分担家务和独立的重要性。故填They learned useful life skills and developed a sense of responsibility by doing chores. They also realized the importance of sharing housework and being independent. 【48题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes. Because paying kids for chores can encourage them to work, and help them to learn earning, saving and teamwork in families. It also makes doing chores fun and fair, like a small job./No. Because it may cause kids to do chores only for money instead of out of duty. Chores can teach students responsibility and teamwork, but not paid jobs. It’s better to praise effort better than use money. Ⅶ. 首字母填空。（每小题0.5分，共4分） 49.

That’s what a voice journal is all about. Instead of using a pen, people record (记录) their thoughts, feelings, or daily events with their voices. It’s like keeping diaries—but you speak instead of writing. Voice journaling is becoming popular among teenagers. Many students feel tired after a long day at school and don’t want to write. Recording their voices feels easier and faster. Some voice journal apps, with music and pictures, bring the users more fun when they record their voice. There are many benefits to keeping a voice journal. First, it helps improve speaking skills. When you talk clearly and with feelings, you learn how to express (表达) yourself better. Second, voice journals keep real emotions. A written diary might only say “I was sad today,” but a voice journal can sound sad. The feelings are more direct (直接的) and real. Another great thing is that you don’t have to stop what you’re doing to keep a voice journal. You can record while walking, lying on your bed, or even brushing your teeth! This way, you can do two things at the same time. It is helpful for students who have a lot to do every day. Some students also say voice journals help reduce stress. When you talk about your problems aloud, it’s like sharing them with a friend. This helps you feel lighter and calmer. As a new way to keep diaries, voice journals are not for everyone. But why not give it a try? You might have a better understanding of yourself with this tool. Voice Journals: A New Way to ____70____. What is a Voice Journal ※ Recording thoughts and feelings by speaking ____71____ using a pen. Popularity among Teenagers ※ Students like it as it’s easier and faster. ※ Some apps add ____72____ to make it more fun. Benefits ※ Improve speaking skills. Express better by speaking clearly with feelings. ※ Keep real emotions. The feelings are more direct and real. ※ ____73____ time. Record while doing other things, helpful for busy students. ※ Reduce stress. It’s like sharing with a friend, making one feel better. Conclusion ※ Not for everyone. ※ Try this, and it might be a tool to ____74____. 【答案】70. Keep Diaries 71. instead of 72. music and pictures 73. Save 74. understand yourself better##better understand yourself 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语音日记这一新型的日记形式及其在青少年中的流行原因和好处。 【70题详解】 根据文章第一段“It’s like keeping diaries-but you speak instead of writing.”可知，语音日记是一种新型的日记方式。故填Keep Diaries。 【71题详解】 根据文章第一段“Instead of using a pen, people record their thoughts…”可知，语音日记用说话代替用笔记录。故填instead of。 【72题详解】 根据文章第二段“Some voice journal apps, with music and pictures, bring the users more fun…”可知，一些语音日记应用会添加音乐和图片来增加趣味性。故填music and pictures。 【73题详解】 根据文章第四段内容可知，语音日记可以边做其他事情边记录，这对忙碌的学生很有帮助，因此可以节省时间。故填Save。 【74题详解】 根据文章最后一段“You might have a better understanding of yourself with this tool.”可知，尝试语音日记可能帮助你更好地了解自己。故填understand yourself better/better understand yourself。 XI. 书面表达。（20分） 75. 假如你是李华，你收到一封来自英国网友Emma的邮件，向你倾诉她的烦恼。请根据邮件内容写一封回信，分析Emma遇到的问题，并给出至少两条切实可行的建议。 Dear Li Hua, I’m having a hard time these days and I really need your advice.

B ( ) “Wow, Do you think I’ll be able to do it as well as you some day?” asked Mary. “Go on outside and practice a while. You’ll get the hang of it finally. It’s great exercise! My mother said it would help you to grow strong.” said Martha. Mary put on her coat and hat, and went out right away with the rope. She skipped all around the gardens for quite a while. Even the gardener was impressed. “Look there, the robin is even more interested in you now,” he said. “He’s never seen a rope like that!” Mary skipped on, always reaching twenty, and then having to start over again. Then she noticed that the robin had followed her, and was singing to her from a tree branch. As she jumped, she remembered the key in her pocket. “You helped me find this key. Why don’t you help me find the door, too?” she said to the robin. The bird then flew to the top of the garden wall, and sang a very pretty song, as if showing off. Just then, a great wind blew through the garden path (小路), and loosened (松开) some of the ivy (常春藤) that grew along the garden wall. For a brief moment, Mary could have sworn that she had seen something shiny behind the moving ivy. She felt a doorknob. And underneath the doorknob was a keyhole. Quickly, Mary took out the key, and found that it fit perfectly in the hole. She had to use both hands to turn it, and she soon felt a click. Looking both ways down the path to make sure no one could see her, she then slowly pushed the door open. She was now inside the secret garden! —Extracted from The Secret Garden 24.

They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish bowl with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. In this special closed ecosystem (封闭生态系统), the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle(针管). Such a closed-loop ecosystem is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on the Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On the Earth, gravity pulls everything to the Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger, said The Conversation. Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists know more about human health. 32. What do we know about the space study? A. Scientists from different countries did it together. B. It took place in a closed ecosystem. C. The zebrafish gave birth to four babies in the end. D. It lasted for less than one month. 33. Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish bowl? A. B. C. D. 34. What can we infer about the result of the low gravity in space? A. Human bodies got less strong. B. Animals could easily find their way. C. The zebrafish swam on their back. D. The zebrafish could fly out of water. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The plan for studying human genes. B. The findings of the space study. C. Further studies on zebrafish. D. The importance of the study. E ①IShowSpeed (甲亢哥), a 19-year-old YouTube streamer (网红) with 37 million followers, recently took a trip to China. This trip has turned into something special. It has become a great example of cultural exchange between the US and China, getting millions of views (关注度) and changing how Western people think about China. ②Millions of foreigners like IShowSpeed are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free-transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this hit. So far, China has offered visa-free entry to travelers from 54 countries. And the hours they can stay has been extended from 144 hours to 240 hours. ③The visa-free-transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72 hours in big cities in China. Now, travelers can go anywhere they’d like to know more about. It has attracted more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局). ④Seeing is believing. Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. ⑤“Chongqing is an unbelievably good, beautiful and modern cyber city, totally different from any other city that I have seen around the world,” said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. “This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China—we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves.” ⑥Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked through 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. “These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China,” said Yuyuantantian. 36.

Some students think they should spend all their time on studying, while others don’t know how to do it. However, teachers and parents believe doing housework is important for students’ growth. The following stories show how three students learned from doing housework. Wang Mei’s Chore Journey Wang Mei is a 14-year-old girl from Jiangsu. She has been helping her parents with housework since she was 10. Every day after school, she sweeps the floor, washes the dishes, and sometimes cooks simple meals. At first, she didn’t like doing chores and thought it was boring. But over time, she became better at doing chores and took more responsibilities (责任) at home. Now she even teaches her classmates to do simple chores. Tom’s Weekend Challenge Tom is a 13-year-old student in London. Every weekend, he writes a short diary about the chores he does. Last Saturday, he helped his dad clean the car and watered the plants in the garden. On Sunday, he cooked a simple breakfast for his family. By doing chores, Tom has learned useful life skills. He also gave a talk at school about why children should help with housework. Doing chores teaches them teamwork and develops their independence. Li Ming’s Change at Home Li Ming, a student from Sichuan, used to think housework was only for moms. His mother did almost everything at home, while he and his father hardly helped. One day, his mother got sick and had to rest in bed. Li Ming and his dad had to take care of everything. It was much harder than they had thought. They didn’t even know how to use the washing machine at first. But slowly, they learned how to do housework well. Now Li Ming often shares housework and helps the family. He believes that all children and dads should do their part, not just moms. 45. Did Wang Mei enjoy doing chores at first? ____________________________________________ 46.

Instead of using a pen, people record (记录) their thoughts, feelings, or daily events with their voices. It’s like keeping diaries—but you speak instead of writing. Voice journaling is becoming popular among teenagers. Many students feel tired after a long day at school and don’t want to write. Recording their voices feels easier and faster. Some voice journal apps, with music and pictures, bring the users more fun when they record their voice. There are many benefits to keeping a voice journal. First, it helps improve speaking skills. When you talk clearly and with feelings, you learn how to express (表达) yourself better. Second, voice journals keep real emotions. A written diary might only say “I was sad today,” but a voice journal can sound sad. The feelings are more direct (直接的) and real. Another great thing is that you don’t have to stop what you’re doing to keep a voice journal. You can record while walking, lying on your bed, or even brushing your teeth! This way, you can do two things at the same time. It is helpful for students who have a lot to do every day. Some students also say voice journals help reduce stress. When you talk about your problems aloud, it’s like sharing them with a friend. This helps you feel lighter and calmer. As a new way to keep diaries, voice journals are not for everyone. But why not give it a try? You might have a better understanding of yourself with this tool. Voice Journals: A New Way to ____70____.
