Picking apples ________ more interesting than ________ lessons. A. are; having B. is; having C. are; have D. be; having 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：摘苹果比上课更有趣。 考查主谓一致和非谓语动词。“Picking apples”是动名词短语作主语，表示单数概念，谓语需用单数is；“than”后接比较对象，需与前面结构一致，所以用动名词“having”。故选B。 23.

Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows in line on the boats. He asked Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening. When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. In the small hours of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s boats went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The river was covered with thick mist (雾) all over. People could not see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s boats got close to the Cao camp before dawn (黎明), Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily. But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves. As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they thought it was a surprise attack (攻击) by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his boats turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to return. The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they got back to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows. 46.

It can prevent someone from getting to know you at all. When you’re in a situation like this, it feels bad. Instead of trying to win them over (说服), however, just be yourself. As time goes by, they will see that the gossip about you is wrong. Or they may choose to believe it. Don’t worry about it and move on by being friendly to the kind people. ③You’d think that your friend’s friends would also become your friends. But it doesn’t work that way. Sometimes people are happy with the friendships they have, and they aren’t interested in adding any more. If someone chooses not to be friends with you just because you’re new to the group, it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with you or them. ④An even more difficult situation is when someone has met you and just doesn’t like you. Every joke you make is taken the wrong way. Every time you try to do something nice, they find fault (找茬儿). As much as it hurts, accept that not everyone is going to be your friend. Don’t take it personally. These things could happen to everyone. There are just some people you won’t like. ⑤In a word, if someone doesn’t want to be your friend, that’s okay. Don’t get angry with them because it’s their choice. Instead, give your time and attention to the people that are interested in being with you. 51. If people choose to believe the gossip about you, you should________. A. try to win them over B. let them know the truth C. forget about it and move on D. find out where the gossip comes from 52. Why don’t people want to make new friends sometimes? A. Because they think it’s a waste of time making new friends. B. Because they are satisfied with the friends they have now. C. Because they worry that a new friend will influence their old friendship. D. Because they share no common interests with new friends. 53. What does the underlined sentence “Don’t take it personally.” in paragraph 4 mean? A. You shouldn’t share it with others. B. You shouldn’t stop it by yourself. C. You shouldn’t put it in the heart. D. You shouldn’t accept it in person. 54. Which is the best way to divide (分割) the passage ? A. ①//②③④//⑤ B. ①//②③//④⑤ C. ①//②③④⑤ D. ①②//③④//⑤ 55. The passage mainly wants to tell us_________. A. how to make new friends B. how to have a talk with others C. how to be popular among friends D. what to do when you’ re not liked by others 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. C 54. A 55.

Don’t worry about it and move on by being friendly to the kind people.”可知，如果别人相信关于你的流言蜚语，你不应该担心而是继续前行。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sometimes people are happy with the friendships they have, and they aren’t interested in adding any more.”可知，有时候人们不想交新朋友是因为他们对现在拥有的朋友很满意。故选B。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Don’t take it personally. These things could happen to everyone. There are just some people you won’t like.”可知，这里讲的是每个人都有可能发生这样的情况，因此不用在意它，选项C“你不应该放在心上”与该句表述相近。故选C。 【54题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引入交朋友的主题，总领全文，第二、三、四段具体给出交朋友时不被喜欢的建议，最后一段总结陈述。因此文章结构是①//②③④//⑤。故选A。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述的是当我们交朋友不被其他人喜欢时应该怎么做。故选D。 四、根据短文内容, 从方框中选出最佳选项(每题2分，共10分) 根据文本，将适当的选项填到相应的空白处，选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself. *Look in the mirror and say to yourself “____56____ I can do anything.” It may not sound so good, but it really works! *____57____ Helping others always makes you feel good. *Smile!

At that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal and poisonous (有毒的) plants. When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses. Many sick people could only wait for death. To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants. He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants. Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff (悬崖) from a distance. There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn’t find a way to the cliff. Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff. Shennong was inspired by the scene. He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines. Together they built scaffold (脚手架), with its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants. Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself. Some plants made him sleepy. Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach. Some made him tremble (颤抖) all over. After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants. As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain. When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm. Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it. Other people tried to stop him, but Shennong said calmly, “It looks like a medicinal plant. I have to test it, or some people may misuse it.” Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover. The emperor soon took his last breath. People covered him with thousands of flowers. From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”. 81. What could many people do when they fell ill when Shennong was the emperor? ________________________________ 82.

Liverpool One (B) One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows in ten days. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows in line on the boats. He asked Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening. When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. In the small hours of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s boats went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The river was covered with thick mist (雾) all over. People could not see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s boats got close to the Cao camp before dawn (黎明), Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily. But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves. As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they thought it was a surprise attack (攻击) by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his boats turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to return. The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they got back to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows. 46.

Well, what should you do? Here’s some advice. ②Gossip (流言蜚语) can make meeting new people difficult, especially when people hear something bad about you. It can prevent someone from getting to know you at all. When you’re in a situation like this, it feels bad. Instead of trying to win them over (说服), however, just be yourself. As time goes by, they will see that the gossip about you is wrong. Or they may choose to believe it. Don’t worry about it and move on by being friendly to the kind people. ③You’d think that your friend’s friends would also become your friends. But it doesn’t work that way. Sometimes people are happy with the friendships they have, and they aren’t interested in adding any more. If someone chooses not to be friends with you just because you’re new to the group, it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with you or them. ④An even more difficult situation is when someone has met you and just doesn’t like you. Every joke you make is taken the wrong way. Every time you try to do something nice, they find fault (找茬儿). As much as it hurts, accept that not everyone is going to be your friend. Don’t take it personally. These things could happen to everyone. There are just some people you won’t like. ⑤In a word, if someone doesn’t want to be your friend, that’s okay. Don’t get angry with them because it’s their choice. Instead, give your time and attention to the people that are interested in being with you. 51. If people choose to believe the gossip about you, you should________. A. try to win them over B. let them know the truth C. forget about it and move on D. find out where the gossip comes from 52.

At that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal and poisonous (有毒的) plants. When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses. Many sick people could only wait for death. To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants. He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants. Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff (悬崖) from a distance. There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn’t find a way to the cliff. Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff. Shennong was inspired by the scene. He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines. Together they built scaffold (脚手架), with its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants. Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself. Some plants made him sleepy. Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach. Some made him tremble (颤抖) all over. After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants. As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain. When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm. Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it. Other people tried to stop him, but Shennong said calmly, “It looks like a medicinal plant. I have to test it, or some people may misuse it.” Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover. The emperor soon took his last breath. People covered him with thousands of flowers. From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”. 81 What could many people do when they fell ill when Shennong was the emperor? ________________________________ 82.
