For the students in my class, the English lessons in the first week of this month were very different from what we usually do. We were pretty excited when Mr. Breen, our teacher, told us to choose a museum in a different country and ‘visit’ it (by using the Internet, of course) together in groups. He also said that we should write an article for the school magazine about it. There were five of us in my group, and it wasn’t easy to decide which museum we wanted to go to. Mr. Breen encouraged us to make one idea each. We were surprised how easy it was. We had five ideas, but everybody was very impressed with Tom’s idea. He wanted us to visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in the north of Spain, and when he showed us the website, we all knew it was “our place”. The building was made by American architect Frank Gehry in 1997, and it’s fantastic. The website says it covers an area of 24,000 m², of which 11,000 m² are all exhibition (展览) space. It took us about two hours to visit the different parts of the website, and we all loved the photos of the building. The part we liked best was called Explore. It shows many wonderful photos of sculptures (雕刻) and other pieces of art from the different exhibitions. When the project (项目) was finished, Mia, one girl from our group, described how we all felt. She said that the project was amazing, but what we’d really like to do now is to visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao! 34．The underlined part “was very impressed with” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 38．What do we know about microplastics? A．They showed up 20 years ago. B．They are causing more pollution. C．They mainly come from making clothes. D．They are usually about-ID millimeters. 39．Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A．Because they take a long time to break down. B．Because they mainly end up in water. C．Because they are too small to be reused. D．Because they can move fast in the air. 40．What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A．Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B．Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C．Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D．Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 41．What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A．Taking plastic out of the sea. B．Making and using less plastic. C．Governments making laws about it. D．Helping microplastics break down. 【答案】38．B 39．A 40．D 41．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了微塑料的危害以及解决方法。 38．细节理解题。根据“by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now”可知，微塑料正在造成更多污染，故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据“They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years.”可知，微塑料需要很长时间才能分解，故选A。 40．主旨大意题。根据第四段“This can be bad for our health.”以及第五段“Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution.”可知，微塑料对人和动物健康有害，故选D。 41．细节理解题。根据最后一段“To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic.”可知，科学家认为应减少塑料的生产和使用，故选B。 If you put your history notes under your pillow (枕头) and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this may help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided (分开) them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words. 42．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Dutch words. B．German speakers. C．The experiments. D．The researchers. 43．The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment’s ________. A．result B．reason C．challenge D．purpose 44．What can we learn from the passage? A．German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words. B．Scientists think people can’t learn during sleeping hours. C．Slow-wave brain activities can help people have a good sleep. D．People in Group 3 didn’t remember the words as well as those in Group 1. 45．What does the passage want to tell us? A．How to keep our brain active. B．Good sleep can improve memory. C．How we can memorize words best. D．People learn during sleeping hours. 【答案】42．B 43．A 44．D 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了通过实验表明，知识无法通过枕头进入大脑，但大脑在睡眠时仍能学习，且睡眠时听新单词的人记忆效果优于清醒走路时听的人，研究还发现更多慢波脑活动有助于提升对新单词的记忆。 42．词句猜测题。根据“In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided (分开) them into three groups.”可知，“them”指代的是前文提到的“German speakers”（说德语的人）。故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据“The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate the words later... The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.”以及“The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.”可知，最后两段讲述了实验中不同组的表现以及研究人员得出的结论，即实验结果。故选A。 44．细节理解题。根据“The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.”可知，第三组（走路时听单词的人）记单词的效果不如第一组（睡觉时听单词的人）。故选D。 45． 主旨大意题。根据“However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain.

He is (drive). 【答案】driving 【详解】句意：别和你爸爸说话。他正在开车。根据“Don’t talk to your father”可知，不能和爸爸说话，说明此时他正在开车，表示正在进行的动作，要用现在进行时，其结构为“be+现在分词”，drive的现在分词形式是driving，故填driving。 55．We were all (certain) about the meaning of the word. So we asked our teacher for help. 【答案】uncertain 【详解】句意：我们都对这个词的意思不确定，所以我们向老师求助。根据“So we asked our teacher for help.”可知，此处表示“不确定的”。certain“确定的”，uncertain“不确定的”。故填uncertain。 五、阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（1-4答案不超过六个词，5题不限） When I was a kid, my mom would let me help her make popcorn on cold winter nights. We would get out a pan , some oil and butter, and wait for the first popcorn to jump with an exciting sound. Then, we would shake the pan over the stove (炉子) to keep the popcorn from burning—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop — until the pan was filled with delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa.There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒). The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive snacks or much money , but our love for each other was everything. It’s the little moments like these that matter most. They’re magical everyday gifts and memories that last forever. So, remember to enjoy these moments and the love that comes with them.

One day, while I was driving past him with my 17 , I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. 18 , when he noticed me waving (挥手) at him, he looked a bit shocked.

My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a 21 , but next time she would try it as well. We lived close to the old man, 22 we saw him rather often.

For the students in my class, the English lessons in the first week of this month were very different from what we usually do. We were pretty excited when Mr. Breen, our teacher, told us to choose a museum in a different country and ‘visit’ it (by using the Internet, of course) together in groups. He also said that we should write an article for the school magazine about it. There were five of us in my group, and it wasn’t easy to decide which museum we wanted to go to. Mr. Breen encouraged us to make one idea each. We were surprised how easy it was. We had five ideas, but everybody was very impressed with Tom’s idea. He wanted us to visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in the north of Spain, and when he showed us the website, we all knew it was “our place”. The building was made by American architect Frank Gehry in 1997, and it’s fantastic. The website says it covers an area of 24,000 m², of which 11,000 m² are all exhibition (展览) space. It took us about two hours to visit the different parts of the website, and we all loved the photos of the building. The part we liked best was called Explore. It shows many wonderful photos of sculptures (雕刻) and other pieces of art from the different exhibitions. When the project (项目) was finished, Mia, one girl from our group, described how we all felt. She said that the project was amazing, but what we’d really like to do now is to visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao! 34．The underlined part “was very impressed with” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A．missed B．hated C．changed D．liked 35．The writer tell us ________ in Paragraph 3. A．the story of how the students decided which museum to visit B．how the students like the project (their ‘visit’ to the museum) C．some detailed information about the museum they visited D．what the different English lessons were like for the students 36．Which is the right order to show the development of the project? ①Choose the best one among five ideas. ②Set up groups of five students. ③Share opinions about the project. ④Visit the museum online together. A．③①②④ B．②①④③ C．③④①② D．①④③② 37．In which part of a website may you read the text? A．Study. B．Sports. C．Science. D．Heath. Microplastics (微塑料) are very small. But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 38．What do we know about microplastics? A．They showed up 20 years ago. B．They are causing more pollution. C．They mainly come from making clothes. D．They are usually about-ID millimeters. 39．Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A．Because they take a long time to break down. B．Because they mainly end up in water. C．Because they are too small to be reused. D．Because they can move fast in the air. 40．What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A．Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B．Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C．Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D．Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 41．What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A．Taking plastic out of the sea. B．Making and using less plastic. C．Governments making laws about it. D．Helping microplastics break down. If you put your history notes under your pillow (枕头) and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this may help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided (分开) them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.

Then, we would shake the pan over the stove (炉子) to keep the popcorn from burning—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop — until the pan was filled with delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa.There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒). The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive snacks or much money , but our love for each other was everything. It’s the little moments like these that matter most.
