Joan quickly threw her line into the water. “There' s no food on 5 hook (鱼钩)," Grandmother said. “Even if there was, you'd 6 have to wait. Today is about enjoying our time together and relaxing on the water. You don't have to 7 everything in the river," Joan didn't listen to her grandmother. She placed a piece of sandwich on the hook and threw it back 8 the water. A few minutes later, Joan got nothing.She was 9 . Grandmother had been 10 Joan. Now, she pointed to the sky and said, “Do you see the bird there? It's an osprey (鱼鹰). Ospreys catch fish too." Joan watched as the osprey flew in a big circle and 11 flew down to catch a fish. Joan and her grandmother talked about how it would feel to fly like a bird. Then they talked about their schools. In some ways, their schools were different, 12 in some ways, they were the same.

B My cousin Douglas’ parents were going to teach in Africa, but they thought it might be better for him to stay in this country to go to school, so he would come to stay with my family for a year. Douglas and his family lived all the way on the other side of the country, so we had never had a chance to visit. He was just someone I sent birthday cards to and saw in photos. Now he was going to stay and go to school with me. We went to pick him up at the airport. He was standing all alone, looking around for someone to meet him. Everyone in my family has light brown hair and green eyes, but Douglas has dark hair and dark eyes. He started to smile shyly after Mother hugged him. When we got back home and Douglas started putting his things away, I could not believe it. All of his clothes were the same, all white shirts and dark blue shorts. He even had a dark blue jacket with a tie! “How come you wear only one kind of clothes?” I asked him. “That's the way my school has always been,” he said. “We have to wear uniforms.” “Yuck,” I said. “I would hate having to wear the same thing every day. You're going to look pretty weird if you come to school in a jacket and tie.” Douglas looked worried. Suddenly, I felt bad. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. After all, it was not easy to come all this way to live with some strange family for a year. Then and there I decided that I was going to look after my cousin and try to make this year as good as possible for him. ( )21. What do we know from Paragraph 2? A. Douglas comes from Africa. B. The writer didn't welcome Douglas. C. Douglas and the writer were not close. D. Douglas and the writer are the same age. ( )22. What does Douglas look like? A. He has dark hair and dark eyes. B.

A. he only liked that style B. he had no time to shop for clothes C. he didn’t have money for many clothes D. he had to wear uniforms in his old school ( )24. The underlined word “weird” is closest to “ ” in meaning A. careless B. strange C. young D. strong ( )25. What lesson did the writer learn at the end of the story? A. One should wear uniforms more. B. One should care about others’ feelings. C. One should travel to different countries. D. One should often communicate with his relatives. C When I was your age, my mom always told me, “I just want you to be happy.” She didn't care what I grew up to be as long as I promised to stay happy. But what exactly is happiness? Is it a destination (目的地), or is it more likes a road that never ends? Is happiness on social media? It sure seems that way. People love posting perfect pictures of their best moments online. But if you ever want to feel bad about your life, just jump online and scroll through (滚屏浏览) those posts. Platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu make us believe that we could be prettier, healthier, wealthier, and of course, happier. Plenty of research has linked social media use to low moods. One U.S. study found that people who use social media for more than two hours a day are twice as likely to feel lonely. ★ When we share a happy moment, we must have felt happy, right? Well, yes, but over the years.I've come to discover-and experience-the “hedonic treadmill.” We get excited when something good happens, but after a short time, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness only lasts for so long. As the effects of one “happy” moment wear off, we set out in search of new sources of happiness. And social media has made this search harder than ever. Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness: lt’s called “emotional authenticity." This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and process emotions like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness. It's not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of “likes” on a screen! March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that happiness isn't about chasing a picture-perfect life. Trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn (独角兽)—It's just not going to happen. Instead, focus on your own journey and accept the variety (不同种类) of emotions you'll feel along the way. ( )26. According to the article, it seems that happiness is on social media because . A. scrolling through social media posts makes people happy B. social media helps people form deep friendships C. many people post their happiest moments there D. many researchers have linked social media use to happiness ( )27. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. But why do we feel lonely when we see others’ perfect pictures online? B. But what if we’re the ones posting? C. But how can we find happiness on social media? D. But what should we do to keep away from social media? ( )28. Which line in the following chart correctly shows the change in our emotions after something happy happens to us? A. A B. B C. C D. D ( )29. What does the author suggest we do with negative emotions such as anger and fear? A. Learn to accept them bravely. B. Tum a blind eye to them. C. Post about them on social media. D. Get rid of them as soon as possible. ( )30. What does the author want to tell people with the unicorn-catching analogy (类比) in the last paragraph? A. Happiness is all around us. B. Real happiness doesn't actually exist. B. Friendship is the key to real happiness. D. Happiness is like a read that never ends. 综合填空 A black boy helped his father look after the barrels (桶). Every morning he cleaned up every barrel on the farm, and then put them in order. 31 his anger, the wind blew the barrels here and there during the night. The boy wrote a letter to the wind,“Please don't blow down my barrels.” After 32 (see) that, his father asked the boy,“Can the wind read your letter?” The little boy said,“I don't know, but I have no other 33 (choose).” The next morning, when the little boy ran to see the barrels, he found that the annoying wind still blew the barrels down again. The little boy couldn't help 34 (cry). His father said gently, “Boy, don't be sad. We may have no way of how, 35 (stop) the wind from doing that, 36 we can have our own ways to control the barrels.” Then the little boy stopped crying to think over and over. After thinking half a day, he finally 37 (find) out a way. He collected some water 38 the well and poured it into those empty barrels. On the 39 (three) morning, the little boy went out, and saw the barrels were in good order. The little boy told his father calmly,“If we don't want the barrels blown down by the wind, we have no way to the wind, but we have ways to the barrels. It's a very simple way, that is, to add (weigh) to the barrels.” “ You are a young adult now,” said his father happily. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 七年级下学期期末英语阅读训练（2025.05.30） 参考答案与详细解析 完形填空 1. D. boat 解析：本题是典型的语境线索题。解题关键在于下文：“set out onto the water”（出发到水面上）。能到水面上的交通工具，只有 boat（船）。其他选项 bus（公交）、car（汽车）、train（火车）都是在陆地上行驶的。 2. A. looking for 解析：本题是动词短语辨析题。空格后的宾语是“a big fish to catch”（一条可以钓到的大鱼）。Joan 急切地观察水面，目的只能是 “寻找” (looking for) 一条鱼。B. laying out（布置、安排）、C. taking down（取下、记下）、D. putting back（放回）均与“寻找目标”的语境不符。 3. C. Patient 解析：本题是上下文逻辑题。解题关键在于祖母说的话。后文祖母说“You have to be...”，接着Joan的反应是“I'm going to catch all the fish”，这体现了Joan的急躁和缺乏耐心。因此，祖母是在教导她钓鱼所需要的品质——耐心 (Patient)。strict（严格的）、serious（严肃的）、polite（有礼貌的）都与钓鱼的场景关联不大。 4. B. gave 解析：本题是动词辨析题。空格后的宾语是“Joan a fishing rod”（给Joan一根钓竿）。描述“给某人某物”这个动作，最直接、最常用的动词是 gave。A. bought（购买），上下文没有提到购买行为；C. sent（寄送），祖母就在她身边，不需要“寄”；D. won（赢得），不符合场景。 5. A. your 解析：本题是代词指代题。祖母是在对Joan说话。在直接引语中，祖母说：“你的鱼钩上没有食物。” 所以这里应该用第二人称物主代词 your，指代Joan的鱼钩。 6. C. still 解析：本题是副词辨析题，考查语气和逻辑。祖母说：“即使有鱼饵，你也______需要等待。” 这句话强调的核心是“等待”这个行为的持续性。still（仍然） 最准确地表达了“尽管有了条件A，但要求B依然不变”这层含义。A. already（已经）表示完成；B. even（甚至）表示递进；D. just（仅仅，刚才）表示限制或时间。 7. D. catch 解析：本题是动词辨析题，且需要复现上文信息。全文的核心活动是“fishing（钓鱼）”，钓鱼的最终目的就是 catch（捕捉） 鱼。上文也出现了“a big fish to catch”。祖母是在告诉Joan，享受过程更重要，不必执着于“捕捉”到所有东西。其他选项search（搜寻）、protect（保护）、clean（清理）均偏离文章主线。 8. A. into 解析：本题是介词辨析题。动词是“threw”（扔），宾语是“it”（指代鱼钩）。描述“把鱼钩扔进水里”这个动作，正确的介词是 into（表示进入）。B. with（用...）；C. from（从...）；D. over（在...之上）。 9. B. unhappy 解析：本题是情感态度题。解题需要结合上下文。上文：她没听祖母的话，自己放了鱼饵。结果：“a few minutes later, Joan got nothing”（几分钟后，Joan什么也没得到）。对于一个一心只想钓到鱼的孩子来说，这个结果自然会让她感到不开心 (unhappy)。A. scared（害怕的）、C. lazy（懒惰的）、D. lonely（孤独的）都无法从文中推断出来。 10. D. watching 解析：本题是动词辨析题。下文是关键：“Now, she pointed to the sky...”（现在，她指向天空……）。这个“Now”表示动作的切换，说明在此之前，祖母的注意力一直在Joan身上。watching（观察，看着） 最符合“关注着Joan的一举一动”这层意思。A. admiring（钦佩）、B. controlling（控制）、C. praising（表扬）均无依据。 11. C. suddenly 解析：本题是副词辨析题，描述动作方式。句子描述鱼鹰捕食的过程：“鱼鹰飞了一大圈，然后______俯冲下来捉鱼。” 捕食的动作通常是迅速、出其不意的，因此 suddenly（突然地） 是最佳选项。A. especially（特别地）、B. recently（最近）、D. probably（可能地）都不符合捕食场景的突然性。 12. A. but 解析：本题是连词逻辑题。空格前后是两个完整的分句：“their schools were different”（她们的学校不同）和“in some ways, they were the same”（在某些方面，它们又相同）。这两个分句之间存在明显的转折对比关系，因此必须用表转折的连词 but。 13. D. shared 解析：本题是动词辨析题。上文说“她们谈论...然后她们笑了”，下文说“Joan正在给祖母讲事情”。这说明她们是在互相分享故事和经历。shared（分享） 准确体现了这种双向的交流。A. explained（解释）、B. changed（改变）、C. reported（报告）都更像是单向的行为，不如“shared”贴切。 14. B. quick 解析：本题是语境理解题。情境非常紧急：Joan正在说话，没注意鱼竿，而此时鱼上钩了！祖母打断她并喊道。在这种紧急情况下，最合理的催促是让她“快”拿起鱼竿，以免鱼跑掉。所以 quick 是唯一符合语境的选项，常以“Be quick!”的形式表示催促。A. easy（简单的）、C. welcome（受欢迎的）、D. sorry（抱歉的）都不对。 15. C. day 解析：本题是名词辨析和总结概括题。空格所在句是全文的总结：“Later that night, Joan thought about her...”（那天晚上晚些时候，Joan回想起了她的……）。她回想的内容不是具体的“鱼”，而是“祖母讲的有趣故事”。这些故事发生在那一天 (day) 的钓鱼过程中。因此，她回想的是“那一天”的经历。A. plan（计划）、B. advice（建议）、D. school（学校）都只是那天经历的一部分，不足以概括全文。 阅读理解 A 16. A. Magic World 解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章分别介绍了世界上行走最快的人形机器人，世界上最小的狗和可以食用的3D打印蛋糕。由此可推知，我们可以在报纸的神奇世界版块读到这些新闻，故选A。 17. C. Watch Out, ARTEMIS is Here. 解析：标题概括题。根据第一段内容，尤其是第一句“Artemis is the world's fastest walking humanoid(人形的) robot.”可知，这则新闻介绍了世界上行走最快的人形机器人Artemis。C项“小心，Artemis在这里”能概括其大意，是本条新闻的最佳标题，故选C。 18. B. Because it’s a good comparison 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“They say I'm shorter than a television remote control.”并结合右侧图片可推知，你可以在图片中看到电视遥控器是因为它能和Pearl作很好的对比。 19. D. The 3D printer will greatly change the habits people cook 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“While 3D food printing is still in its early stages, it will probably change the way we prepare and enjoy food.”可知，虽然3D食品打印仍处于早期阶段，但它可能会改变我们准备和享受食物的方式。由此可知，3D打印机将极大地改变人们的烹饪习惯。故选D。 20. C. Amazing and special 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，三则新闻分别介绍了世界上行走最快的人形机器人、世界上最小的狗和可以食用的3D打印蛋糕。由此可推知，这三则新闻的共同之处是他们都是神奇且特别的。故选C。 B 21. C. Douglas and the writer were not close 解析：第二段的关键句是：“He was just someone I sent birthday cards to and saw in photos.”（他只是一个我寄生日卡片给ta、在照片里看到的人）。这句话清楚地表明他们的关系并不亲密，只是远房亲戚的普通联系。A选项（来自非洲）错误，他是来自国内另一个地方；B选项（不欢迎）和D选项（同龄）文中均未提及。 22. A. He has dark hair and dark eyes 解析：细节题。文中明确对比：“Everyone in my family has light brown hair and green eyes, but Douglas has dark hair and dark eyes.” 23. D. he had to wear uniforms in his old school 解析：细节题。Douglas自己的回答是：“That’s the way my school has always been. We have to wear uniforms.”（我的学校一直就是这样。我们必须穿校服。）其他选项都是无根据的猜测。 24. B. strange 解析：词义猜测题。需要根据上下文推断。作者说“我讨厌每天穿一样的”，并认为Douglas穿西装打领带去学校会看起来很“weird”。结合上下文，作者的家庭环境不穿校服，所以他认为那样穿会显得“奇怪、另类”。因此“strange”是最佳同义词。 25. B. One should care about others' feelings 解析：这道题考查对故事主旨的理解。在作者说了“weird”之后，他立刻意识到“I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings”（我不是有意要伤害他的感情），并决定“look after my cousin and try to make this year as good as possible for him”（照顾表哥，尽力让他这一年过得开心）。这个转变说明他学到了要体谅和关心他人感受的重要性。其他选项均不是故事的核心教训。 C 26. C. many people post their happiest moments there 解析：细节题。答案在第二段开头：“It sure seems that way. People love posting perfect pictures of their best moments online.”（它确实看起来是那样。人们喜欢在网上发布他们最佳时刻的完美照片。）正是这种行为，制造了一种“幸福都在网上”的假象。 27. B. But what if we're the ones posting? 解析：这道题考查对上下文逻辑关系的理解。 ★ 之后的内容都在讨论“当我们分享快乐时刻”后的心理感受（hedonic treadmill，快乐 treadmill效应），即发布者自身的体验。因此，填入的句子应该能引出“从浏览者切换到发布者”这个话题，B选项完美地起到了这个承上启下的作用。 28. C. C 解析：这道题考查对“hedonic treadmill”概念的理解。文中解释道：“We get excited when something good happens, but after a short time, we return to feeling the same as before.”（有好事发生时我们会兴奋，但短暂之后，我们又回归到之前的感觉。）图表中，C线精确地体现了这种变化：情绪短暂升高后，迅速回落到原来的基线水平。 29. A. Learn to accept them bravely 解析：细节题。答案在第四段关于“emotional authenticity”（情感真实性）的论述中：“This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and process emotions like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness.”（当我们允许自己去感受和处理诸如愤怒、失望、恐惧和悲伤等情绪时，这种情况就会发生。）“允许自己去感受”就是“接受”的意思。作者鼓励我们接纳所有情绪，而不是逃避(B, D)或公之于众(C)。 30. D. Happiness is like a road that never ends 解析：这道题考查对比喻和文章主旨的理解。独角兽是神话中的生物，试图抓住它（try to catch a unicorn）是不可能的。作者用这个类比来说明“Trying to be happy all the time is just not going to happen”（试图永远快乐是做不到的）。幸福不是一个能被抓住并永久拥有的终点（destination），而是一个需要体验各种情感的过程或旅程（journey/road）。A、B、C选项都曲解了这个类比的重点，它强调的是追求的过程而非结果，以及接纳不完美，而不是幸福无处不在(A)、不存在(B)或友谊是关键(C)。 综合填空 31. To 解析：本题考查固定搭配。“To one's + 情感名词” 是一个常见结构，表示“令某人……的是”。这里，风把桶吹得到处都是，所以是 “To his anger” (令他生气的是)。 32. seeing 解析：本题考查介词后的动词形式。介词（如 after, before, of, for, by 等）后面如果跟动词，这个动词必须使用 动名词（ing）形式。这里的介词是 after，所以动词 see 要变为 seeing。句意：父亲看到信之后问他…… 33. choice 解析：本题考查词性转换。括号里给的是动词 choose (选择)。空格前面是 no other，这后面需要一个名词。动词 choose 的名词形式是 choice。have no other choice 是一个常用短语，意思是“没有别的选择”。 34. crying 解析：本题考查固定句型。“couldn't help doing sth.” 是一个非常重要的句型，意思是“忍不住做某事”。这里的 help 不是“帮助”，而是“避免、阻止”的意思。所以小男孩“忍不住哭了起来”，动词 cry 要变为 crying。 35. to stop 解析：本题考查动词不定式的用法。空格前的结构是 “have no way of how...”（没有办法……）。英语中，“办法 way” 后面通常接 to do sth. (动词不定式) 或 of doing sth. (动名词) 来表示“做某事的方法”。这里空格后是动词原形 stop，所以前面需要加上 to，构成 to stop。句意：我们可能没有办法去阻止风这样做。 36. but 解析：本题考查连词和上下文逻辑。父亲说的话前半句是 “We may have no way...”（我们可能没有办法……），后半句是 “we can have our own ways...”（我们能有自己的办法……）。前后两个分句在意思上形成了鲜明的转折和对比。英语中表示这种“虽然……但是……”的转折关系，最常用的连词就是 but。 37. found 解析：本题考查动词的时态。这个故事的主体部分都是在讲述过去发生的事情，所以动词基本都用过去式。括号里给的 find 是动词原形，它的过去式是 found。句意：想了半天之后，他终于想出了一个办法。 38. from 解析：本题考查介词搭配。动词 collect (收集) 和名词 water (水) 提供了线索。“从井里打水”或“从井里取水”，这个“从……”在英语中用介词 from 来表示。collect water from the well 是地道的表达。 39. third 解析：本题考查序数词。空格前面是 the，后面是 morning，这中间需要一个序数词（第几）来表示顺序。括号里给的是基数词 three (三)，它的序数词形式是 third (第三)。on the third morning 意思是“在第三天早上”。 40. weight 解析：本题考查词性转换。括号里给的是动词 weigh (称重)。空格前面是 add，后面是 to the barrels。add 是动词，意思是“增加”，它后面通常接名词作宾语，表示“增加某物”。weigh 的名词形式是 weight (重量)。add weight to the barrels 意思是“给桶增加重量”。这正好点明了故事的核心道理。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 七年级下学期期末英语阅读专练（2025.5.30） 参考答案 完形填空（2’） 1-5 DACBA 6-10 CDABD 11-15 CADBC 阅读理解（3’） 16-20 ACBDC 21-25 CADBB 26-30 CBCAD 综合填空（2.5’） 31.
