【原文】Inventions have been changing people’s lives greatly. Now I’ll introduce some of them.
Before 1876, people had to communicate by writing letters, which took a long time. With this invention, we can talk to someone far away easily and get a quick reply. It has made communication faster and more convenient.
Three years later, another great invention came out. Before that, people used candles or lamps for light.
Thanks to this great invention, we can have bright light at night and do many things such as reading, working, and playing.
In the late nineteenth century, a small invention was made. Before that, people used buttons to close their clothes and bags, which was not very convenient. This small invention makes it quick and easy to open and close things. Now it is widely used in clothing bags, and many other items. It is small, but it has greatly changed our lives.
In the early twentieth century, another great invention was made. This invention enables people to reach faraway places in a short time.
People can travel across the world in a matter of hours, but air travel can be expensive and has an important influence on the environment. The last great invention was invented in the mid-twentieth century. We use it to study, work, play games, watch movies, and communicate with people all over the world. It has made people get information more easily and faster.

In many countries, children with a talent for sports are discovered early and encouraged to achieve athletic (体育运动的) greatness by training for hours every day. While some people see this as a good way to improve children’s health, others argue that too much training can be harmful.
People who are against training children for so long say that there are many bad sides. Here are some of their arguments:
●The long hours spent on training can distance (疏远) the child from his or her family.
●Athletes who spend too much time training miss out on education. They may not be prepared for other activities, such as going to college and having a non-athletic job.
●Parents may also become too pushy and end up caring more about athletic achievements than the child
Dr. Christine Carr, a psychologist, suggests that parents should take some important steps to help their kids get the most out of sports. Carr says that learning life lessons should be taken seriously. Self-discipline (自律能力) and learning to deal with failure are some of the important life skills kids should learn from sports.
Other experts point to the importance of letting children make their own decisions. Top athlete Michael Phelps said that he thanked his parents for letting him decide how much he wanted to train. In fact, according to Phelps’ mother, he had trouble paying attention in the classroom until he found a sport that he was interested in. By allowing Phelps to decide what to do, his mother also saw him improve as a student.
Another thing that many parents and doctors agree on is the importance of developing a close relationship with the family. Dr. Carr suggests eating dinner together. He says it is a simple way to remind children that support can always be found at home.
Raising an athlete is not easy. By balancing life and training, parents can help their children become winners in both sports and life.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, believed that to live on, humans will one day have to move into space. “Once we spread out into space and set up independent colonies (定居点), our future should be safe,” he said.
Today, the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth’s closest neighbor: the moon. Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next 10 years. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize (殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of things, for example, the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. At last, we could create new human societies on other planets.
SpaceX is a company that builds rockets. Its founder and CEO, Elon Musk, also believes we should colonize Mars. He doesn’t want to send just “one little mission” though. His long-term goal is to put one million people on the planet in case something bad happens to us here on Earth.
Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it’s too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems. In addition, these first people would find life extremely difficult in space. On the moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Despite these concerns, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see lunar cities or even new human cultures on other planets. First stop: the moon.
27. What’s the main purpose (目的) of this passage?
A. To give reasons for and against space colonization.
B. To tell about what life would be like on the moon.
C. To compare the environments of Mars and the moon.
D. To let us know what the company SpaceX does.
28. Why are some countries planning to build lunar space stations?
A. To learn more about the moon’s situation. B. To reduce the number of people living on Earth.
C. To prepare humans to live on other planets. D. To show their technological strength.
29. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. There are a few reasons not to send humans to space.
B. A mission to Mars should be designed on a large scale.
C. Many countries are planning missions to the moon.
D. There are a number of reasons to travel to Mars.
30. What does “First stop: the moon” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Everybody wants to visit the moon first.
B. All spaceships to other planets have to stop at the moon first.
C. The first place humans visit in space is the moon.
D. The first human colony in space will likely be on the moon.
31. What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending people into space?
A. The writer has a positive attitude. B. The writer has a negative attitude.
C. The writer doesn’t mind it. D. We don’t know.
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A

主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文既提到了支持太空殖民的观点,也提到了反对的理由。因此,文章的主要目的是给出支持和反对太空殖民的理由。故选A。

细节理解题。根据第二段“These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.”可知,建立月球空间站的目的是为人类在其他星球上生活做准备。故选C。
【29题详解】
段落大意题。根据第五段“Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it’s too expensive...People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems...On the moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very dangerous.”可知,第五段主要列举了反对人类进入太空的几个理由,如高昂费用、长时间太空旅行带来的健康问题以及恶劣的太空环境。因此,该段的主旨是“存在一些反对人类进入太空的理由”。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“In the future, we might see lunar cities or even new human cultures on other planets. First stop: the moon.”可知,未来,我们或许会看到月球城市,甚至其他星球上诞生全新的人类文明。第一站将会是月球。由此可知,“First stop: the moon”意味着人类在太空殖民的第一站很可能是月球。故选D。
【31题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段“Despite these concerns, sending people into space seems certain.”可知,作者认为尽管存在一些担忧,但人类进入太空似乎是必然的,由此推知,作者对太空殖民持积极态度。故选A。

Octopuses (章鱼) are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses, but all are alike (相似的) in one way. ___32___ Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. ___33___
An octopus can disguise itself in 3 ways. ___34___ An octopus’s skin has special cells called chromatophores (色素细胞). These cells are filled with yellow, brown, and red pigment. When an octopus moves its muscles a certain way, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores can also reflect light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns.
An octopus can also change its skin texture (质地). When the octopus moves its muscles, its skin can go from smooth to spiky (尖刺状). It might then look like a plant, or coral (珊瑚). Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. ___35___ One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea creatures—especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes.
Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. ___36___ Many predators (捕食者) want to eat them—and they can eat them whole. To survive (生存), octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide from predators.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks.
B. They are masters (大师) of disguise (伪装).
C. Octopuses have no bones in their bodies, so they are like large pieces of meat.
D. One is by using color.
E. How do they do this?
【答案】32. B 33. E 34. D 35. A 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了章鱼如何通过改变颜色、皮肤质地和形状来伪装自己,以及它们伪装的原因——躲避捕食者以求生存。
【32题详解】
根据下文“Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals.”可推知,章鱼是伪装大师。选项B“它们是伪装大师。”符合语境,故选B。
【33题详解】
根据上文“Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals.”以及下文“An octopus can disguise itself in 3 ways.”可知,上文提到章鱼能快速改变外貌,下文开始解释章鱼伪装的三种方式,因此空处应是一个过渡句,询问章鱼是如何做到的。选项E“它们是怎么做到的?”符合语境,故选E。
【34题详解】
根据上文“An octopus can disguise itself in 3 ways.”和下文“ An octopus’s skin has special cells called chromatophores (色素细胞). These cells are filled with yellow, brown, and red pigment...With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns.”可推知,章鱼的一种伪装方式是变色。选项D“一种是通过使用颜色。”符合语境,故选D。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape.”可知,章鱼伪装的另一种方式是改变形状。因此空处应是一个具体例子,说明章鱼如何改变形状伪装。选项A“例如,一些章鱼把它们的身体卷成球,这样它们看起来就像石头一样。”符合语境,故选A。
【36题详解】
根据下文“Many predators (捕食者) want to eat them—and they can eat them whole.”可推知,章鱼没有骨头,容易被捕食者视为一大块肉,整个吞下它们。选项C“章鱼的身体里没有骨头,所以它们就像大块的肉。”符合语境,故选C。

death死亡;safety安全;illness疾病;health健康。根据上文“the hotel security guard (保安) finally opened the door”可知,保安及时救了Susan,使她逃脱了死亡。故选A。
【45题详解】
句意:后来,她问保安为何会去开门,因为这并不在他的职责范围内。
her她的;his他的;their他们的;our我们的。根据“she asked the security guard how he came to open the door as it was not part of...duties”可知,此处指“保安的职责”,而此处的保安是一位男性,所以空处应选his指代“保安的”。故选B。
【46题详解】
句意:很多人当我是隐形人,但你是少数早上和我打招呼,晚上和我说再见的人。
agree同意;treat对待;notice注意;greet问候。根据“Many people...me like I’m invisible (隐形的)”可知,很多人把保安当做隐形人对待。故选B。
【47题详解】
句意:很多人当我是隐形人,但你是少数早上和我打招呼,晚上和我说再见的人。
a few一些(表示泛指,修饰可数名词的复数形式);the few少数几个(表示特指,修饰可数名词的复数形式);a little一点(表示泛指,修饰不可数名词);the little少量(表示特指,修饰不可数名词)。根据“you’re one of...who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me at night”可知,此处特指“在特定群体中,少数会早晚问候的人”,所以the few符合语境。故选B。
【48题详解】
句意:今天早上你来上班时,像往常一样和我打招呼说了声“嗨”,但今晚我没听到你平常“再见”。
unnatural不自然的;natural自然的;usual平常的;unusual不寻常的。根据上文“you’re one of...who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me at night”可知,Susan平常上下班都会和保安打招呼,但是保安今天没有听到Susan平常的“再见”。故选C。
【49题详解】
句意:就在那时,我察觉到有些不对劲,决定四处看看。
something某事;anything任何事;nothing没有什么;everything一切。根据“That’s when I sensed...was wrong”可知,保安察觉到有些不对劲。something was wrong“有些不对劲”。故选A。
【50题详解】
句意:我总是期待你的“嗨”和“再见”,因为它们提醒我,我不是隐形的,而是一个重要的人。
look for寻找;look up to尊敬;look after照顾;look forward to期待。根据“they remind me that I’m not invisible”可推知,保安期待Susan和他打招呼。故选D。
【51题详解】

honest诚实的;outgoing外向的;interesting有趣的;important重要的。根据“I always...your ‘hi’ and ‘goodbye’ because they remind me that I’m not invisible but an...person.”可知,Susan的问候让保安觉得他是一个重要的人。故选D。

My Treasured Diary
I have a small diary that holds a special place in my heart. It has a simple yet charming appearance. Although its plain cover has become a bit worn over time, it means a lot to me.
I started writing in it when I was in junior high school. I write down my joys, sorrows, dreams, and secrets. It’s like a faithful friend that always listens. Whenever I’m happy or sad, I turn to it. It records my growth and changes. It shows how I have changed from a shy kid to a more confident one. It’s a precious memory box that holds not only my words but also my emotions. Every time I open my diary, I feel I am talking with my closest friend in this world!
I will always cherish it—my treasured diary.
例文2
An Old Toy Bear
I have an old toy teddy bear. It’s not very big but extremely cute. It’s made of soft cotton with brown fur which is a little worn out now. It has two big black eyes and a cute nose.
This teddy bear was given to me by my grandma when I was five. At that time, I was often ill and felt very sad. But whenever I saw this teddy bear, I felt better. My grandma would tell me stories while I held it in my arms. When I had nightmares at night, it was this teddy bear that gave me courage. Now, my grandma has passed away. Whenever I hold this teddy bear, I think of her love and care. In my mind, it’s not just a toy but a symbol of my grandma’s love. Every time I look at it, I remember the warm hugs and sweet smiles from my grandma.
I will always cherish it as it brings me countless beautiful memories.

In many countries, children with a talent for sports are discovered early and encouraged to achieve athletic (体育运动的) greatness by training for hours every day. While some people see this as a good way to improve children’s health, others argue that too much training can be harmful.
People who are against training children for so long say that there are many bad sides. Here are some of their arguments:
●The long hours spent on training can distance (疏远) the child from his or her family.
●Athletes who spend too much time training miss out on education. They may not be prepared for other activities, such as going to college and having a non-athletic job.
●Parents may also become too pushy and end up caring more about athletic achievements than the child
Dr. Christine Carr, a psychologist, suggests that parents should take some important steps to help their kids get the most out of sports. Carr says that learning life lessons should be taken seriously. Self-discipline (自律能力) and learning to deal with failure are some of the important life skills kids should learn from sports.
Other experts point to the importance of letting children make their own decisions. Top athlete Michael Phelps said that he thanked his parents for letting him decide how much he wanted to train. In fact, according to Phelps’ mother, he had trouble paying attention in the classroom until he found a sport that he was interested in. By allowing Phelps to decide what to do, his mother also saw him improve as a student.
Another thing that many parents and doctors agree on is the importance of developing a close relationship with the family. Dr. Carr suggests eating dinner together. He says it is a simple way to remind children that support can always be found at home.
Raising an athlete is not easy. By balancing life and training, parents can help their children become winners in both sports and life.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
22. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Improving children’s health. B. Achieving athletic greatness.
C. Training for hours every day for a sport. D. Discovering a child’s talent for sports.

Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, believed that to live on, humans will one day have to move into space. “Once we spread out into space and set up independent colonies (定居点), our future should be safe,” he said.
Today, the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth’s closest neighbor: the moon. Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next 10 years. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize (殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of things, for example, the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. At last, we could create new human societies on other planets.
SpaceX is a company that builds rockets. Its founder and CEO, Elon Musk, also believes we should colonize Mars. He doesn’t want to send just “one little mission” though. His long-term goal is to put one million people on the planet in case something bad happens to us here on Earth.
Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it’s too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems. In addition, these first people would find life extremely difficult in space. On the moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Despite these concerns, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see lunar cities or even new human cultures on other planets. First stop: the moon.
27. What’s the main purpose (目的) of this passage?
A. To give reasons for and against space colonization.
B. To tell about what life would be like on the moon.
C. To compare the environments of Mars and the moon.
D. To let us know what the company SpaceX does.
28. Why are some countries planning to build lunar space stations?
A. To learn more about the moon’s situation. B. To reduce the number of people living on Earth.
C. To prepare humans to live on other planets. D. To show their technological strength.
29. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. There are a few reasons not to send humans to space.
B A mission to Mars should be designed on a large scale.
C. Many countries are planning missions to the moon.
D. There are a number of reasons to travel to Mars.
30. What does “First stop: the moon” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Everybody wants to visit the moon first.
B. All spaceships to other planets have to stop at the moon first.
C. The first place humans visit in space is the moon.
D. The first human colony in space will likely be on the moon.
31. What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending people into space?
A. The writer has a positive attitude. B. The writer has a negative attitude.
C. The writer doesn’t mind it. D. We don’t know.
D
Octopuses (章鱼) are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses, but all are alike (相似的) in one way. ___32___ Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. ___33___
An octopus can disguise itself in 3 ways. ___34___ An octopus’s skin has special cells called chromatophores (色素细胞). These cells are filled with yellow, brown, and red pigment. When an octopus moves its muscles a certain way, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores can also reflect light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns.
An octopus can also change its skin texture (质地). When the octopus moves its muscles, its skin can go from smooth to spiky (尖刺状). It might then look like a plant, or coral (珊瑚). Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. ___35___ One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea creatures—especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes.
Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. ___36___ Many predators (捕食者) want to eat them—and they can eat them whole. To survive (生存), octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide from predators.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks.
B. They are masters (大师) of disguise (伪装).
C. Octopuses have no bones in their bodies, so they are like large pieces of meat.
D. One is by using color.
E. How do they do this?
三、完形填空(15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
先通读短文,掌握其大意,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。
