A. was riding; meet B. was riding; met C. rode; met D. rode; was meeting 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当这个小男孩正在骑自行车时，他遇到了一场事故。 考查时态。根据“While the little boy…his bike, he…an accident.”可知，此处表示的是一个动作发生时，又发生了另一个动作，应是正在骑自行车时遇到了一场事故，主句是一般过去时，从句是过去进行时。故选B。 26.

Pecan picking is hard. My basket is only half full. I don’t want to let him down. Then something catches my eye: a squirrel (松鼠) picks up a pecan, climbs up a tree and disappears (消失) into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbs down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he takes the pecan back to his secret (秘密的) hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. I run over to the tree and find the hollow is filled with sweet pecans. They are right there for the taking. This is my chance. I take all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket is full! I am so proud of myself. I can’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I collect. “Look, Grandpa,” I shout, “look at all of the pecans I find!” Grandpa takes a look at my basket. “Well, how do you find so many, Jimmy?” I tell him how I follow the squirrel and take the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulates (祝贺) me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. ★ . He hands the basket back to me and puts his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel works very hard to collect his winter food,” he says “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I don’t think about that,” I say. “I know,” Grandpa says. “But a good man should never take advantage of (利用) someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel can’t leave my mind. There is only one thing I can do. 58. Why does the writer go to the woods at the beginning of the story? A. To pick up pecans. B. To catch little animals. C. To feed the squirrels. D. To look for his grandpa. 59. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. He highly praises (表扬) my work. B. Then he does something that surprises me. C. After that, he blames me angrily. D.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者把松鼠树洞里的山核桃据为己有，带回家给爷爷看，爷爷告诉他：一个好人不应该窃取别人的劳动成果。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“and Grandpa sends me into the woods to pick up pecans (山核桃) for us to enjoy later”可知作者是去树林里捡山核桃。故选A。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Grandpa congratulates (祝贺) me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits...He hands the basket back to me and puts his arm gently around my shoulders”可知，爷爷祝贺作者发现了松鼠的一些习惯，但是他却把篮子递给作者，故应是做了令作者吃惊的事情。选项B“然后他做了一件让我吃惊的事”符合语境。故选B。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He hands the basket back to me and puts his arm gently around my shoulders”和爷爷说的话“Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?”，“But a good man should never take advantage of (利用) someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s”可知爷爷没有责备作者，而是耐心地告诉他不应该窃取别人的劳动成果，拿走松鼠的食物，冬天它会挨饿。由此可推测出，爷爷是善良并且有智慧的。故选A。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel can’t leave my mind. There is only one thing I can do”可知作者明白了自己做的事情会伤害那只松鼠，所以他接下来会把山核桃送回松鼠的树洞中。故选B。 【62题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者把松鼠树洞里的山核桃据为己有，带回家给爷爷看，爷爷告诉他：一个好人不应该窃取别人的劳动成果。选项D“丢失的山核桃”符合。故选D。 C What will you do if you or your family member are deaf suddenly? Will you find ways to help or give up? Let’s see Wang Xinan’s story. ①________. Wang Xinan’s son, Chengcheng was born in 2000. However, one day, she found the baby boy didn’t appear to respond (回应) normally to loud noises. A cup hit the ground next to Chengcheng while he was sleeping, and it made a loud noise. It didn’t wake him up. Another day, during one of his short sleeps, an iron (铁) plate fell outside, causing quite a bit of noise. Again, he kept sleeping. Wang finally had a doctor examine Chengcheng further. The doctor said he had serious hearing loss. Wang spent days crying and didn’t know what to do. ②________. Luckily, she got lots of help from her family. They encouraged her to pay more attention to educating Chengcheng. Wang decided to teach her son to read lips (嘴唇) when he was just 18 months old. It’s not easy to teach any child to pronounce words, let alone (更别说) one with hearing loss. But Wang didn’t give up. She bought Chengcheng a hearing aid, and taught him to watch her mouth and let him touch her throat as she spoke. Slowly, Chengcheng’s ability to speak and read improved. He got a cochlear implant (人工耳蜗植入) in 2012 when he was in junior high school, and eight years later, he went to a university. ③________. Wang decided to use the skills she learned to help other families with children like her son. In 2003 she opened a free workshop to teach children how to speak and read lips. In 2010, Wang set up a rehabilitation (康复) center. So far 3,000 families have got help there. It’s not easy for the disabled people and their family. One can get what he wants through hard work. The world will be better if you spread your love to the people around. So, did you get the answer to the question at the beginning of this passage? 63. Why does the writer talk about the cup and the iron plate? A. To show Chengcheng’s habits. B. To show Chengcheng is not active. C. To show Chengcheng’s good sleeping. D. To show Chengcheng’s hearing problem. 64. Match the titles with each paragraph. a. Wang decided to help others. b. Chengcheng had serious hearing loss. c. Wang taught Chengcheng to pronounce. d. Wang opened a workshop to make money. e. Wang spent much money training Chengcheng. A. ①-b, ②-c, ③-a B. ①-b, ②-e, ③-d C. ①-e, ②-b, ③-d D. ①-e, ②-a, ③-c 65. What can we know about Wang’s personality according to the passage? A. Quiet and serious. B. Careful and shy. C. Strict and honest. D. Kind and warm-hearted. 66. Put the events that happened in correct order. ①Chengcheng got a cochlear implant. ②Wang Xinan opened a free workshop. ③Wang Xinan set up a rehabilitation center. ④Wang Xinan taught Chengcheng to read lips. ⑤Chengcheng was found to have serious hearing loss. A ①③⑤④② B. ⑤③①④② C. ⑤④②③① D. ②①③④⑤ 67. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】63. D 64. A 65. D 66. C 67. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了王西南如何帮助她失聪的儿子成成，并通过自己的努力帮助其他有类似情况的家庭的故事。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“A cup hit the ground next to Chengcheng while he was sleeping, and it made a loud noise. It didn't wake him up. Another day, during one of his short sleeps, an iron (铁) plate fell outside, causing quite a bit of noise. Again, he kept sleeping.”可推知，作者提到杯子和铁盘是为了展示成成的听力问题。故选D。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，第1段主要讲述了成成被发现有严重的听力损失，第2段讲述了王西南如何教成成发音，第3段讲述了王西南决定帮助其他家庭。因此，匹配的标题应为①-b, ②-c, ③-a。故选A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是第2段“Wang decided to teach her son to read lips (嘴唇) when he was just 18 months old.”（王西南决定在成成18个月大时教他读唇语。）和第3段“Wang decided to use the skills she learned to help other families with children like her son.”（王西南决定用她学到的技能帮助其他有类似孩子的家庭。）可推知，王西南的性格是善良和热心的。故选D。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容，事件的正确顺序应为：⑤成成被发现听力严重损失→④王西南教成成读唇语→②王西南开设免费工作坊→③王西南建立康复中心→①成成植入人工耳蜗。故选C。 【67题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容，文章的结构应为：第一段引出王西南的故事，第二、三、四具体介绍这个故事；第五段与开头相呼应。因此，最佳结构图应为C选项。故选C。 D If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness. According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 68. Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A. To help them make more friends. B. To make them feel better about themselves. C. To find out how they felt after watching it. D. To ask them share their feelings. 69. How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists? A. Six times. B. Five times. C. Four times. D. Three times. 70. What does the underlined word “those” refer to? A. Stories. B. Feelings. C. Friends. D. Lives. 71. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Watch a sad movie when we are sad. B. Find true love when feel sad. C. See a happy film when we feel bad. D. Think about others when we are down. 72. How did the college students’ feeling change? A. happy-scared-sad B. sad-excited-happy C. terrible-lucky-hopeful D. terrible-serious-sad 【答案】68. C 69. B 70. D 71. A 72. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家通过实验证明看一部悲伤的电影会更适合不开心的人，因为它会让你珍惜当下你所拥有的。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness.”可知，在学生观看完悲剧电影后，科学家们尝试发现他们的内心感受，故选C。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness.”可知，在电影开始前、结束后回答了问题，以及放映过程中三次回答了科学家们提出的问题，一共是五次，故选B。 【70题详解】 代词指代题。根据“Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope.”可知，科学家们认为这是因为这部电影让他们思考自己的生活。与那些不幸的恋人相比，他们的生活充满了希望。所以those是指“lives”，故选D。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movie can make people happier.”可知，如果你感到悲伤，记得不要看快乐的电影。看一部悲伤的电影可能对你有好处。俄亥俄州立大学的一些科学家发现，悲伤的电影可以让人更快乐。所以作者建议我们悲伤的时候，看一部悲伤的电影。故选A。 【72题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.”可知，坏心情会让你感觉很糟糕，所以看一部悲伤的电影可能会让你感觉不好，但这会让你更多地考虑自己，并对未来充满希望。故选C。 B）（每小题2分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从文后的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 When the weather gets warm, people love to play in the water.

Pecan picking is hard. My basket is only half full. I don’t want to let him down. Then something catches my eye: a squirrel (松鼠) picks up a pecan, climbs up a tree and disappears (消失) into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbs down to the ground to pick another pecan.

A cup hit the ground next to Chengcheng while he was sleeping, and it made a loud noise. It didn’t wake him up. Another day, during one of his short sleeps, an iron (铁) plate fell outside, causing quite a bit of noise. Again, he kept sleeping. Wang finally had a doctor examine Chengcheng further. The doctor said he had serious hearing loss. Wang spent days crying and didn’t know what to do. ②________. Luckily, she got lots of help from her family. They encouraged her to pay more attention to educating Chengcheng. Wang decided to teach her son to read lips (嘴唇) when he was just 18 months old. It’s not easy to teach any child to pronounce words, let alone (更别说) one with hearing loss. But Wang didn’t give up. She bought Chengcheng a hearing aid, and taught him to watch her mouth and let him touch her throat as she spoke. Slowly, Chengcheng’s ability to speak and read improved. He got a cochlear implant (人工耳蜗植入) in 2012 when he was in junior high school, and eight years later, he went to a university. ③________.

A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness. According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 68 Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A. To help them make more friends. B. To make them feel better about themselves. C. To find out how they felt after watching it. D. To ask them share their feelings. 69. How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists? A. Six times. B. Five times. C. Four times. D. Three times. 70. What does the underlined word “those” refer to? A. Stories. B. Feelings. C. Friends. D. Lives. 71. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Watch a sad movie when we are sad. B. Find true love when feel sad. C. See a happy film when we feel bad. D. Think about others when we are down. 72. How did the college students’ feeling change? A. happy-scared-sad B. sad-excited-happy C. terrible-lucky-hopeful D. terrible-serious-sad B）（每小题2分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从文后的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 When the weather gets warm, people love to play in the water.
