I’ll have ________ second try anyway. A. I will; a B. I won’t; a C. I will; the D. I won’t; the 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不要放弃！如果你一直尝试，你会成功的。——我不会放弃的。无论如何我会再试一次。 考查不定冠词及情景交际。不定冠词“a”用在序数词前表示“又，再”，“a second try”表示“再试一次”，因此第二空应用“a”，排除选项C和D；根据“I’ll have…second try anyway.”可知第一空表示不会放弃，应用否定形式“I won’t”。故选B。 22. Though Jack is in poor health, his work is better than ________. A. anyone B. anyone’s else C. anyone else’s D. anyone’s else’s 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然杰克身体不好，但他的工作比其他任何人的工作都好。 考查所有格形式。anyone任何人，复合不定代词；else别的，形容词。当形容词修饰复合不定代词时，形容词要放在复合不定代词后。anyone else意为“其他任何人”。根据句意和分析句子结构可知，此处表达的意思是“他的工作比其他任何人的工作都好”；在此句中，空后省略了不可数名词work，所以空处应用anyone else的所有格形式为anyone else’s，作为定语来修饰名词work。故选C。 23. The bookshop is on ________ side of the street. You must go ________ the road to buy books. A. other; across B. the other; across C. other; through D. the other; through 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：书店在街道的另一边。你必须穿过马路去买书。 考查代词和介词辨析。other其他的，后常接复数名词；the other两者中的另一个，常与one连用，表示“一个……，另一个……”；across穿过（平面）；through穿过（立体空间）。根据“side of the street”可知，街道有两边，此处指另一边，应用the other；再根据“You must go...the road”可知，此处指穿过马路这个平面，应用across。故选B。 24. How do you read the number 6, 425, 200 correctly? A. Six million four hundred and twenty-five thousand two hundred. B. Six millions four hundreds and twenty-five thousands two hundreds. C. Six million and four hundred and twenty-five thousand and two hundred. D. Six millions four hundred and twenty-five hundred and two hundred. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你如何正确地读数字6, 425, 200？ 考查数词用法。根据数字的读法：十位和个位之间要加连字符；百位和十位之间加and，其它不用加and；million/hundred/thousand等表示单位的数量词前有具体数字时，不能加s；所以，6, 425, 200 读作Six million four hundred and twenty-five thousand two hundred。故选A。 25. There are five _________ books in the library, and __________ of them are picture books. A. thousands of; hundreds B. thousand; hundreds C. thousands of; hundred D. thousand; hundred 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：图书馆里有五千本书，其中数百本是图画书。 考查基数词。基数词+thousand表示“几千”，此处thousand不加s，基数词不和thousands of连用，排除A/C；hundreds of“成百上千，好几百”，此处hundred和of连用需要加s。故选B。 26. —I don’t know how to spend my weekend. —Why not ___________ around the Hao River? Our city is well worth ___________. A. ride; visit B. riding; visiting C. to ride; to visit D. ride; visiting 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不知道怎么过周末。 ——为什么不骑车绕郝河一圈？我们的城市非常值得一游。 考查动词辨析、动词短语及特殊疑问句。ride骑，动词原形；visit参观，动词原形；riding骑，动名词形式；visiting参观，动名词形式；to ride骑，动词不定式；to visit参观，动词不定式；结合第一空所在句的“Why not…”及语境可知，此处在建议对方为何不骑车绕郝何一圈，“why not do sth.”意为“为何不做某事”，表示提建议或提供选择性的问题；又结合第二空所在句“…is well worth…”及语境可知，此处指“值得一游”，“be worth doing sth.”表示“值得做某事”，应用其动名词形式作宾语。故选D。 27. The Chinese Pingfeng ________ the Han Dynasty. It means protection from wind at the beginning. A. comes from B. dates from C. hears from D. learns from 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国的屏风始于汉代。它最初的意思是防风。 考查动词短语辨析。comes from来自；dates from追溯到，始于；hears from收到……的来信；learns from向……学习。根据“The Chinese Pingfeng...the Han Dynasty.”可知，此处指屏风始于汉代，所以应该用dates from。故选B。 28. There’re so many clouds in the sky . I’m afraid there’s going to ________. A. rain B. have rain C. be rain D. be rainy 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：天空有这么多的云。恐怕将要有雨。 考查there be句型的一般将来时及单词辨析。rain名词，雨；动词，下雨；rainy形容词，下雨的。根据“there”及语境可知，句子是there be句型，而由“is going to”及语境可知，句子时态为一般将来时，there be句型的一般将来时结构为“there is/are going to be+名词”，故选C。 29. In China, middle school students usually have a ________ between two lessons. A. 15-minutes break B. 15-minute-break C. 15-minute break D. 15 minute-break 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在中国，中学生通常在两节课之间有15分钟的休息时间。 考查复合形容词。15-minutes break表达错误；15-minute-break表达错误；15-minute break15分钟的休息；15 minute-break表达错误。根据题干可知，这里修饰的是名词break，应用形容词，表示“15分钟的”要用复合形容词，复合形容词中单词与单词之间要有连字符，复合形容词中的名词只能用原形，所以15分钟的休息表达为15-minute break。故选C。 30. I ________ the work. It’s quite easy for me. But thank you all the same. A. needn’t to help with B. needn’t any help with C. don’t need to help with D. don’t need any help with 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这项工作我不需要任何帮助。对我来说很容易。但还是要谢谢你。 考查动词短语辨析。don’t need sth不需要。根据“I…the work. It’s quite easy for me.”可知，此处指的是不需要帮助，don’t need sth“不需要”，固定短语；help sb with sth“帮助某人做某事”，固定短语。故选D。 31. The old bridge has been there for over 50 years, but it still ________ even during heavy storms. A. holds on B. holds up C. holds back D. holds out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座古老的桥已经在那里50多年了，但即使在暴风雨中它仍然保持完好。 考查动词短语。holds on坚持；holds up保持完好，支撑；holds back阻止；holds out伸出。根据“The old bridge has been there for over 50 years”和“even during heavy storms”可知，这座古老的桥即使在暴风雨中也保持完好。故选B。 32. —Sandy, I hear there’s a new boy in your class. ________? —He is polite and generous. A. How does he like it B. What does he like C. How does he look like D. What is he like 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——桑迪，我听说你们班来了个新男生。他是什么样的人？——他彬彬有礼，慷慨大方。 考查特殊疑问句。How does he like it他觉得怎么样；What does he like他喜欢什么；How does he look like他看起来怎么样，问相貌；What is he like他是什么样的，问性格。根据回答“He is polite and generous”可知问的是性格，故选D。 33. I often see Tom ________ TV. Just now when I walked past his room, I saw him ________ TV again. A. watch; watching B. watching; watch C. watch; watch D. watching; watching 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我经常看见汤姆看电视。刚才当我经过他的房间时，我又看见他正在看电视。 考查非谓语动词。根据“I often see Tom”可知，此处是see sb do sth“看见某人做某事”，强调看见某人做某事的全过程，第一空用动词原形watch“看”；根据“Just now when I walked past his room, I saw him...TV again.”可知，此处是强调刚才经过房间时看见某人正在做某事，用see sb doing sth“看见某人正在做某事”，第二空用现在分词watching。故选A。 34. — David, remember not to leave your homework at home and ________ it to school tomorrow. —________, I ________, Miss Zhao. A. take; No; won’t B. take; Yes; will C. bring; No; won’t D. bring; Yes; will 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——大卫，记得别把作业落在家里，明天带到学校来。 ——好的，赵老师，我会的。 考查祈使句的回答和动词辨析。take强调把东西从说话者所在处带到别处；bring强调把东西从别处带到说话者所在处。根据语境可知，老师提醒David不要忘记带作业到学校，因此这里应用bring“带来”，排除A和B；然后，David的回答应该是肯定的，表示他会记住带作业，所以第二个空用“Yes”；第三个空用“will”，表示他会这样做，排除C。故选D。 35. —What a heavy rain! Will it last long? —________. We plan to go on a picnic outside later. A. That’s a pity B. I’m afraid so C. I hope not D. I’m afraid not 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——好大的雨啊！会下很久吗？——我希望不会。我们计划待会儿去外面野餐。 考查情景交际。That’s a pity那很遗憾；I’m afraid so恐怕是这样；I hope not我希望不会；I’m afraid not恐怕不会。根据“We plan to go on a picnic outside later”可知，说话者希望雨不要持续太久。故选C。 三、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，计15分) 阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” One ____36____ in Newton, Massachusetts certainly takes that to heart.

Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are anxious about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right——sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (弯腰驼背的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can cause bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking, Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better. 54. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A. 125 B. 70 C. 56 D. 60 55. Which one is Not True according to the passage? A. Posture is very important when taking math exams. B Sitting up straight can help people do better on math exams. C. Slumping over can help you think clearly. D. Good posture can be very helpful for taking math exams. 56. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why people worry about math. B. How to pass a math exam. C. The advantages of positive postures. D. The importance of exams. 57. This passage is most probably from ________. A. A travel guide B. Sports newspaper C. An advertisement website D. A Science magazine 【答案】54. B 55. C 56. C 57. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了坐姿对数学考试等的影响，良好姿势有助于在数学考试中发挥，还提及对运动员、音乐家等也有益。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Scientists tested 125 college students. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.” 可知，125名学生中的 56%，即70名学生觉得坐直时考试更容易。故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can cause bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking, Peper said.” 可知，弯腰驼背的姿势会阻碍思考，C选项“Slumping over can help you think clearly.”错误。故选C。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕姿势展开，讲述良好姿势对数学考试等的积极作用，即积极姿势的优势，C选项“积极姿势的优势”符合。故选C。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。文章是关于姿势与学习、表现等的科学研究内容，最可能来自科学杂志。故选D。 C Roberta, Peter and Phyllis lived in a large house in London. Father worked hard in a government office. He was never angry and always ready for a game. Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them do their home-lessons. These three lucky children always had everything they needed—pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over. One day two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry. More time passed. Then Mother came in and said, “Father’s been called away—on business.” A week after their father went away, their mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the country. A pretty little white house, called Three Chimneys.” The family started packing—clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs. “We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta. “We’re taking the useful ones,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.” Peter said joyously, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.” Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!” As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it. “Oh, Mother,” she said in a low voice, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!” Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up. They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children. 58. What is the meaning of the underlined word “joyously”? A. Happily. B. Nervously. C. Angrily. D. Curiously. 59. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. They would move a house once a month. B. Mother was brave enough to face the difficulties. C. Father went on a business trip to Three Chimneys. D. Mother wanted to leave London and move to the country. 60. Which is the correct order of the events below? a. Father was called away. b. The family took the train to Three Chimneys. c. Mother packed the things. d. Mother read to the children. A. acbd B. dacb C. dcba D. acdb 61. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. The children would be happy with the family’s future life. B. The station had nothing to do with the family’s future life. C. Something was going to happen to the children later in the story. D. Parents could better deal with life changes than children later in the story. 【答案】58. A 59. B 60. B 61. C 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《铁路少年》，介绍了三个幸运的孩子在爸爸被捕前过着幸福的生活，爸爸被捕后，妈妈带着他们被迫搬到铁路附近乡下的故事。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Peter said joyously, ‘I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.’”可知，Peter说“我确实喜欢搬家！我希望我们每个月都搬一次。”这表达了他对搬家的喜悦和兴奋，因此推测joyously的意思是“快乐地，高兴地”。故选A。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mother laughed and said, ‘I don’t like moving!’”以及“You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!”可知，母亲在面对家庭变故时仍然能够笑对孩子们，这说明母亲勇敢地面对困难。故选B。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them do their home-lessons.”可知，d排第一；根据“Then Mother came in and said, ‘Father’s been called away—on business.’”可知，a排第二；根据“The family started packing—clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs.”可知，c排第三；根据“Then they took a train to Three Chimneys.”可知，b排第四。因此事件发生顺序为dacb。故选B。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据“At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them.” 以及 “They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children.”可知，这句话暗示了孩子们后来的故事中将会发生一些事情，这些事情与车站和火车有关，预示着他们未来的生活将会与铁路紧密相连。故选C。 D Butterflies are among the most beautiful insects (昆虫) on our planet. Their colorful wings, flying from one flower to another, bring fun to people of all ages. However, they are in big trouble now. Since 2000, the number of butterflies has dropped by almost a quarter. Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, led a study on this worrying situation. Volunteers play an important role in understanding the situation. They love butterflies and help monitor them. Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors. This helps scientists like Edwards find out what’s going on. Three main things are causing the number of butterflies to reduce. First, their homes are disappearing. As cities grow and forests are cut down, butterflies’ homes are destroyed. Second, pesticides (杀虫剂) are a big problem. Pesticides are used to kill harmful insects, but they also harm butterflies and other helpful insects. Third, climate change is making things worse. The Earth is getting warmer. This changes the places where butterflies can live. Some of the plants they depend on might die because of the warmer climate. ________ A simple way is to plant flowers. They are good for butterflies in our gardens. These flowers not only provide butterflies with food but also offer them a safe place. We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places. By doing these things, we can help save the butterflies. 62. Which picture best shows the change in butterfly population since 2000? A. B. C. D. 63. Why do volunteers monitor butterflies? A. To sell butterflies to scientists. B. To train butterflies to live in cities. C. To catch and collect butterflies for research. D. To record their numbers, living places, and behaviors. 64. How does the writer organize the information in Paragraph 3? A. By listing causes and explaining each one. B. By telling a story about beautiful butterflies. C. By describing different events in time order. D. By comparing butterflies with other insects. 65. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A. Planting flowers is the only way to save butterflies. B Protecting butterflies requires global government action. C. There is something we can do to help protect butterflies. D. Scientists have already solved the butterfly population crisis. 【答案】62. B 63. D 64. A 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了蝴蝶数量减少的现状、原因以及人们可以采取的保护措施。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。文中提到“Since 2000, the number of butterflies has dropped by almost a quarter.”，表示蝴蝶数量持续下降，因此最合适的图表应显示蝴蝶数量逐渐减少的趋势。故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors.”可知，志愿者的作用是记录蝴蝶的数量、栖息地和行为。故选D。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。第三段首先提出“Three main things are causing the number of butterflies to reduce”，接着分别解释家园消失、农药影响和气候变化三个原因，属于列举原因并逐一说明。故选A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据下文“A simple way is to plant flowers... We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places.”可知，此处应是引出人们可以采取的措施，最佳补充句是“There is something we can do to help protect butterflies.”。故选C。 第II卷(非选择题部分60分) 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思.用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 66. I can’t find anything helpful in all these ______ (日历). What should I do? 【答案】calendars 【解析】 【详解】句意：在所有这些日历中我找不到任何有用的东西。我该怎么办呢？由句意与语境可推测，本题考查的是：“日历”的英文“calendar”。由于此空前面有“all these”修饰，“these”后接可数名词复数，故“calendar”应用复数形式calendars。故填calendars。 67. My uncle’s farmhouse faces ________ (西北方) with a beautiful view of the hills. 【答案】northwest 【解析】 【详解】句意：我叔叔的农舍面朝西北，可以看到美丽的山景。根据“faces”以及汉语提示可知，横线处需填名词，表示方向，“西北方”的英文表达为northwest。故填northwest。 68. We are going to celebrate my grandma’s ________ (90) birthday this Sunday. 【答案】ninetieth 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们打算这个星期天庆祝我奶奶的90岁生日。根据“my grandma’s … birthday”可知，此处是指我奶奶的第90个生日，应用基数词90的序数词形式ninetieth“第九十”表示顺序。故填ninetieth。 69. To our great surprise, those ________ (工程师) ideas brings a new way to work out the problem. 【答案】engineers’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：令我们大为惊讶的是，这些工程师的想法为解决这个问题带来了一个新的方法。engineer“工程师”，根据空前的“those”可知，此处用复数形式，根据空后的名词“ideas”并结合“those…ideas brings a new way to work out the problem.”的语境可知，此处用’s所有格形式，表示所属关系。故填engineers’。 70. —Who would you like to ________ (推荐) for this year’s Young Star Award? —Zhang Ke. 【答案】recommend 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你想推荐谁获得今年新星奖？——张可。根据中文提示可知，此处应填入“recommend”，意为“推荐”，根据“would you like to…”可知，此处用动词原形构成“would like to do sth”结构。故填recommend。 71. Behind the old man ________ (lie) a lovely dog. 【答案】lies 【解析】 【详解】句意：老人身后躺着一只可爱的狗。本句是倒装句，主语是“a lovely dog”，为单数形式。句子描述的是客观存在的情况，用一般现在时，所以谓语动词“lie”（躺）要用第三人称单数形式“lies”。故填lies。 72. The price of the flat with two _________ (balcony) is very high. 【答案】balconies 【解析】 【详解】句意：有两个阳台的房子价格很高。根据“two”可知，需要名词复数，balconies符合句意，故填balconies。 73. We can’t ________ (simple) judge a book by its cover or its title. 【答案】simply 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们不能简单地通过封面或题目来判断一本书。空处修饰动词judge，用副词形式。故填simply。 74. The sun is shining brightly, making the leaves on the tree look ________ (gold). 【答案】golden 【解析】 【详解】句意：太阳明亮地照耀着，使得树上的叶子看起来金黄。句子中使用了“look + 形容词”的结构，表示“看起来……”。golden“金黄色的”，形容词。故填golden。 75. They don’t know what great trouble they will have ________ (repair) the phone. 【答案】repairing 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们不知道修理这部手机会有多大麻烦。根据“have trouble (in) doing sth.”是固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”，其中“in”可省略，可知此处需用“repairing”，意为“修理”。故填repairing。 六、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，计10分) 根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Around the world, people live in homes of many shapes and sizes. In some countryside, people live together with their family in a huge house with gardens or backyards. On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together. A home can be any kind of building—large or small. Some people even have homes on boats, in tents or in caravans that can be moved around. Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed (拖，拉) by either a car or a huge truck. Some of them are holiday homes. We can see many families staying together in these caravans. In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe. The castles were built on hill tops with high walls and some even had moats. Moats were deep and wide ditches (壕沟) filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack. Today, we have different ways of protecting our homes. Some homes are installed (安装) with video cameras and an alarm system. These will help to alert (向……发出警报) home owners if someone tries to break in. Homes are important to all the people. Everyone needs a home where they feel sheltered and safe. 76. How are the buildings in cities? ________________ 77. What is used to tow the caravans? ________________ 78. Who built castles to keep their families safe in the past? ________________ 79. Why were moats built? ________________ 80.

Because they made it difficult for enemies to attack. 80. Safety./Love. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界各地不同形态的住宅，包括乡村大屋、城市建筑、移动房屋等，并提及古今保护住宅的方式及家对人的重要性。 【76题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together.”可知，城市里的建筑通常挨得很近。故填They are usually very close together. 【77题详解】 根据第二段倒数“Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed by either a car or a huge truck.”可知，大篷车是可移动的房屋，可推测房车通常被一辆汽车或一辆大卡车拖着。故填A car or a huge truck. 【78题详解】 根据第三段“In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe.”可知，在过去，富贵显要之人会建造坚固的城堡来保护家人的安全。故填Rich and important people. 【79题详解】 根据“Moats were deep and wide ditches filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack.”可知，护城河是又深又宽的充满水的沟渠，它们使敌人难以进攻。故填Because they made it difficult for enemies to attack. 【80题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Safety./Love. 七、缺词填空(共10空;每空1分，计10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在标有题号的横线上，完整写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气).

Here’re some English ones, especially for kids. Meet the Georgians By Robert Peal, UK The writer, a history teacher from London, writes about different people and places from the 18th century. He wants to show the readers a “wild time” in British history. A book review says that this book is the best one for kids to become interested in British history. Solutions and Other Problems By Allie Brosh, US This is a popular graphic (配图的) novel. The writer uses a special art style to tell some heartbreaking stories. All the characters in the book express their feelings in a funny, childlike way. In fact, Everyone has a hidden part inside and we have to let it out sometimes in a funny way. Everything Sad Is Untrue By Daniel Nayeri, US It is an autobiography (自传) about the writer’s own experiences as an immigrant (移民) to the USA. Young Daniel went to a middle school in an American town, where he was the only Italian kid. Everyone thought he was different. To make people understand him, he told them his family’s stories. This book explores what it feels like to part with one’s home country. Stars of Wonder By Rebecca Bruff, US Bruff makes up an interesting adventure (冒险) story in the book. Five children, three princes (王子)—Jonah, Nathan, Jacob, a princess (公主)—Phoebe, and their friend Sumar travel toward a bright star—Star of Wonder. During their journey, they have to face a lot of challenges, but the children work together to overcome difficulties and finally see the star with their own eyes. 51. The four recommended books are all ________. A. written by American writers B. recommended especially for adults C. suitable for children to read D. stories of the writers’ own experiences 52. If you’re interested in adventure stories, you’d better choose ________. A. Meet the Georgians B. Stars of Wonder C. Everything Sad Is Untrue D. Solutions and Other Problems 53. What can you learn from the passage above? A. You may have a sense of sadness and humor when reading Allie Brosh’s novel. B. “Meet the Georgians” helps readers to learn about the history of Britain in the 1900s. C. Daniel Nayeri had to leave Italy for the UK with his family at a very young age. D. All the five main characters in “Stars of Wonder” are from the royal (皇家的) family. B What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are anxious about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right——sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (弯腰驼背的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can cause bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better. 54. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A. 125 B. 70 C. 56 D. 60 55. Which one is Not True according to the passage? A. Posture is very important when taking math exams. B. Sitting up straight can help people do better on math exams. C. Slumping over can help you think clearly. D. Good posture can be very helpful for taking math exams. 56. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why people worry about math. B. How to pass a math exam. C. The advantages of positive postures. D. The importance of exams. 57. This passage is most probably from ________. A. A travel guide B. Sports newspaper C. An advertisement website D. A Science magazine C Roberta, Peter and Phyllis lived in a large house in London. Father worked hard in a government office. He was never angry and always ready for a game. Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them do their home-lessons. These three lucky children always had everything they needed—pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over. One day two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry. More time passed. Then Mother came in and said, “Father’s been called away—on business.” A week after their father went away, their mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the country. A pretty little white house, called Three Chimneys.” The family started packing—clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs. “We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta. “We’re taking the useful ones,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.” Peter said joyously, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.” Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!” As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it. “Oh, Mother,” she said in a low voice, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!” Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up. They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children. 58. What is the meaning of the underlined word “joyously”? A. Happily. B. Nervously. C. Angrily. D. Curiously. 59. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. They would move a house once a month. B. Mother was brave enough to face the difficulties. C. Father went on a business trip to Three Chimneys. D. Mother wanted to leave London and move to the country. 60. Which is the correct order of the events below? a. Father was called away. b. The family took the train to Three Chimneys. c. Mother packed the things. d. Mother read to the children. A. acbd B. dacb C. dcba D. acdb 61. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. The children would be happy with the family’s future life. B. The station had nothing to do with the family’s future life. C. Something was going to happen to the children later in the story. D. Parents could better deal with life changes than children later in the story. D Butterflies are among the most beautiful insects (昆虫) on our planet. Their colorful wings, flying from one flower to another, bring fun to people of all ages. However, they are in big trouble now. Since 2000, the number of butterflies has dropped by almost a quarter. Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, led a study on this worrying situation. Volunteers play an important role in understanding the situation. They love butterflies and help monitor them. Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors. This helps scientists like Edwards find out what’s going on. Three main things are causing the number of butterflies to reduce. First, their homes are disappearing. As cities grow and forests are cut down, butterflies’ homes are destroyed. Second, pesticides (杀虫剂) are a big problem. Pesticides are used to kill harmful insects, but they also harm butterflies and other helpful insects. Third, climate change is making things worse. The Earth is getting warmer. This changes the places where butterflies can live. Some of the plants they depend on might die because of the warmer climate. ________ A simple way is to plant flowers. They are good for butterflies in our gardens. These flowers not only provide butterflies with food but also offer them a safe place. We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places. By doing these things, we can help save the butterflies. 62. Which picture best shows the change in butterfly population since 2000? A. B. C. D. 63. Why do volunteers monitor butterflies? A. To sell butterflies to scientists. B. To train butterflies to live in cities. C. To catch and collect butterflies for research. D. To record their numbers, living places, and behaviors. 64. How does the writer organize the information in Paragraph 3? A. By listing causes and explaining each one. B. By telling a story about beautiful butterflies. C. By describing different events in time order. D. By comparing butterflies with other insects. 65. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A. Planting flowers is the only way to save butterflies. B. Protecting butterflies requires global government action. C. There is something we can do to help protect butterflies. D. Scientists have already solved the butterfly population crisis. 第II卷(非选择题部分60分) 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思.用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 66.

In some countryside, people live together with their family in a huge house with gardens or backyards. On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together. A home can be any kind of building—large or small. Some people even have homes on boats, in tents or in caravans that can be moved around. Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed (拖，拉) by either a car or a huge truck. Some of them are holiday homes. We can see many families staying together in these caravans. In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe. The castles were built on hill tops with high walls and some even had moats. Moats were deep and wide ditches (壕沟) filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack. Today, we have different ways of protecting our homes. Some homes are installed (安装) with video cameras and an alarm system. These will help to alert (向……发出警报) home owners if someone tries to break in. Homes are important to all the people. Everyone needs a home where they feel sheltered and safe. 76. How are the buildings in cities? ________________ 77. What is used to tow the caravans? ________________ 78. Who built castles to keep their families safe in the past? ________________ 79 Why were moats built? ________________ 80.
