In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 29．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．A new study adds chickens to the list. B．Scientists know nothing about it. C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．Humans may not like animals. 30．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken?

Buzzing mosquitoes. Ringing car alarms. They are all annoying noises. But what’s the worst? A recent survey lists the things we hate to hear. The list of horrible noises had over 100 items. Several mobile phone ringtones appear near the top. Other noises include barking dogs, pneumatic drills (风钻). electric leaf blowers, loud snoring and banging noises early on a Sunday morning. However, number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist’s drill, “That just sends shivers down my spine,” said one person. “After a visit to the dentist, I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It’s horrible.” said another.” I’ve seen patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill,” explained a dentist. Of course, anyone who’s actually been to the dentist and heard the sound will probably agree with that. But there’s some good news. A new device (设备) developed by experts at universities can cancel out the sound of the drill. The tiny gadget (小装置) allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is canceled out. However, patients are still able to hear the dentist’s voice because not all sounds are filtered (过滤) out. The theory behind it is fairly simple. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and change them into digital signals. Then, electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. However, the great thing is that this technology also allows others noises ( such as the dentist’s voice) to come through. It’s easy to use, too. Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players. Then, via headphones, they can listen to music and hear the dentist’s voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill. Fantastic! So, next time you go to the dentist, remember to bring your MP3 player. 33．What’s on the top of the list of horrible noises according to the recent survey? A．Barking dogs. B．A dentist’s drill. C．Electric leaf blowers. D．A mobile phone. 34．What dos the underlined phrase, “send shivers down my spine” probably mean? A．make me feel sad B．make me very angry C．make me very scared D．make me very excited 35．The fifth paragraph mainly talks about ________. A．how the sound-filtering device works B．who invented the sound-filtering device C．what the sound-filtering device is made of D．how the sound-filtering device was invented 36．Which of the following statements is true about the new device? A．It can make the sound of a dentist’s drill disappear. B．The device can prevent all noises from coming through. C．The device can change unwanted noises into pleasant music. D．With the device on, patients can hear nothing but music on their MP3. 【答案】33．B 34．C 35．A 36．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种减少噪音的装置。 33．细节理解题。根据“However, number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist’s drill,”可知，排名第一的是牙医钻牙的声音。故选B。 34．词句猜测题。根据“After a visit to the dentist, I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It’s horrible”可知，去看牙医后，我有时会在晚上被那种声音吵醒。这太可怕了。说明这句话表示牙医钻牙的声音让人很害怕。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据“The theory behind it is fairly simple. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and change them into digital signals. Then, electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. ”可知，第五段讲述的是设备的工作原理。故选A。 36．细节理解题。根据“Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players. Then, via headphones, they can listen to music and hear the dentist’s voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill.

After fighting against it, Conseil, Ned and I were thrown into the sea and stood on the monster. We thought it was a giant narwhal. In fact, it was a submarine. A few seconds later, eight men came out and pulled us into this room on the submarine. Suddenly, two men entered. The tall man was Captain Nemo. He even knew everything we did with him. He asked us to promise not to escape. Finally, we reached an agreement. Captain Nemo showed me the art gallery with many paintings by famous artists and a museum that contained many thousands of wonderful shells, pearls and other treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. “What a wonderful ship, it must have cost a fortune” “That’s true!” he replied. “I love it as if it were my child.” A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hand on the rail，they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock. One day, he asked me to follow him to another room. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it.  “What happened?” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo's eyes, and he asked me to leave. We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape. 37．Which is the correct order of the following statements? a. Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go out. b. We fought against the monster on the sea. c. Captain Nemo showed me a lot of amazing things. d. We were locked in darkness room. A．a d b c B．b d c a C．d b c a D．c a b d 38．The underlined word “fortune” in paragraph 3 may mean _______. A．luck B．money C．time D．life 39．Why didn’t Captain Nemo worry about the savages? A．Because the number of the savages was too small. B．Because Captain Nemo was optimistic. C．Because Captain Nemo had a way to deal with them. D．Because I could help him beat them. 40．According to the passage, which of the following is right? A．Ned and I tried to escape. B．Captain Nemo cared about his member. C．I found the journey boring. D．Conseil, Ned and I didn’t make any promise. 【答案】37．B 38．B 39．C 40．B 【分析】这篇短文节选自《海底两万里》，“我”，Ned和Conseil上了Nemo船长的潜艇，欣赏了画廊，一起去森林打猎。文章着重刻画了Nemo船长这个人物，他智慧、勇敢，也有博爱之心。 37．细节理解题。根据短文第一段“After fighting against it, Conseil, Ned and I were thrown into the sea and stood on the monster. We thought it was a giant narwhal. In fact, it was a submarine. A few seconds later, eight men came out and pulled us into this room on the submarine.”可知，首先“我”，Conseil和Ned与怪物作了一番斗争，然后他们被带到了潜水艇的一个房间。第三段“Captain Nemo showed me the art gallery with many paintings by famous artists and a museum that contained many thousands of wonderful shells, pearls and other treasures from the sea.”讲述了Nemo船长带我们看了一些很新奇的东西；第四段讲述了Nemo船长带我们出去打猎。正确的顺序应该是bdca。故选B。 38．词义猜测题。根据语境“I had never seen such a good museum. “What a wonderful ship, it must have cost a fortune” “That’s true!” he replied.”“我从来没有见过这么好的博物馆。 ‘多么棒的一艘船啊！它一定花费……’”。由前面的cost“花费”并结合语境可知，这艘潜水艇一定值很多钱。因此fortune与money的意思接近，故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据短文第四段“Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hand on the rail，they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock.”可知，野蛮人跟着我们到了船这里，当他们把手放在栏杆上时，他们都向后倒并逃跑了。原来Nemo船长把电连装到了栏杆上，触摸它的人都会受到点击。C选项“因为Nemo船长有办法对方他们”符合文意，故选C。 40．推理判断题。根据第五段“Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo's eyes, and he asked me to leave.”可知，Nemo船长的一个下属快要死了，他的眼里充满了泪水。由此可以看到Nemo船长非常关心他的船员。故选B。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Some of the jobs which were common fifty years ago are almost not seen now, and some that are popular today may disappear in twenty years. 41 Space tour guide People have been expecting an exciting travel in space. 42 Anyone who wants to see the Sun rising and setting over the Earth will be able to take trips to space.

As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our journey toward adulthood? In the US, getting your driver’s license (执照) at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). You may have seen kids celebrating their first car in movies and TV shows. It is the first true taste of independence for most teenagers. But not every teenager gets a car right away. Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car. Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). Held at the end of the year the prom is a graduation celebration for senior high school students. Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom “king” and “queen”. For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It’s a time for them to dress and act like an adult. And there’s still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol (酒). This is also the time when most children move out of their parents’ home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to consider us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult? Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: taking responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially (经济上) independent. I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one’s maturity (成熟). If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you’re ready to be responsible. 66．What can be seen as a major coming-of-age ritual in the US? 67．What do parents usually buy for their kids as their first car? 68．When is the prom held? 69．At what age can one vote in the US? 70．In your opinion, what’s the true meaning of growing up? 【答案】66．Getting a driver’s license at the age of 16 can be seen as a major coming-of-age ritual in the US. 67．Parents usually buy a second-hand car for their kids as their first car. 68．The prom is held at the end of the year. 69．One can vote at the age of 18 in the US. 70．In my opinion, the true meaning of growing up is taking responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially independent.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了成长过程中的标志性事件，分析了在美国不同阶段被视为成年的仪式，如获得驾照、参加毕业舞会等，还提及了成年后的一些权利以及心理学家对成年目标的看法，最后作者表达了对成年真正意义的观点。 66．根据“In the US, getting your driver’s license (执照) at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式).”可知，在美国，16岁获得驾照被视为一个重要的成人仪式。故填Getting a driver’s license at the age of 16 can be seen as a major coming-of-age ritual in the US. 67．根据“But not every teenager gets a car right away. Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car.”可知，并不是每个青少年都能马上拥有一辆车。通常，他们的父母会为他们买一辆二手车作为他们的第一辆车。故填Parents usually buy a second-hand car for their kids as their first car. 68．根据“Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). Held at the end of the year the prom is a graduation celebration for senior high school students.”可知，另一个重要的成人仪式是毕业舞会。毕业舞会在年底举行，是高中生的毕业庆祝活动。故填The prom is held at the end of the year. 69．根据“At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol (酒).”可知，在美国，18岁可以投票，21岁可以喝酒。故填One can vote at the age of 18 in the US. 70．根据“Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: taking responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially (经济上) independent.”可知，心理学家Jeffrey Arnett对年轻人进行了调查，发现三个共同的成人目标：对自己负责，做出独立的决定，经济独立。因此，在我看来，成长的真正意义是对自己负责，做出独立的决定，经济独立。故填In my opinion, the true meaning of growing up is taking responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially independent.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 七、书面表达 （本题满分25分） 71．初中生活绚丽多彩，在近三年的磨砺中，你们都变得越来越优秀，学习更加勤奋，与人相处更加和谐。请为校广播台写一篇以To be a better self为题的英文演讲稿，和同学们分享你的经验或感受，谈一谈如何做更好的自己。 注意事项：1. 围绕要点，合理展开，适当补充； 2. 不得使用真实姓名，校名和地名； 3. 词数不少于100词。 To be a better self Dear all, I am really proud that I have grown up and achieved a lot in the past three years.

According to our national survey, as many as 88.9% of young people often use the Internet to study. They see the Internet as a sea of knowledge. How are today’s teenagers making good use of online resources? Here’s the report. Zhang Enqi, a 14-year-old from Tianjin I love using Duolingo. It is an App where users can learn foreign languages in a fun way. The teachers are cute cartoon characters, which makes the learning process interesting. There are also ranking lists that encourage me to learn and compete with friends, just like playing a game. Now I’m using it to learn Spanish. Li Shuhe, a 14-year-old from Shanxi I often use wikiHow. There are over 160,000 articles that teach you how to solve all kinds of problems from solving a Rubik’s Cube to fixing a toilet. It even teaches you how to have fun by yourself, which I find quite creative. Zhou Cai, a 15-year-old from Shandong Though Douyin is often seen as a time waster, the short video App helps me a lot. I’ve been following a Douyin account, which summarizes all the important points of our biology lessons. I watched livestreams (直播) of classes and before exams I spent some time reviewing the notes. I got the best grade in my class in the recent biology exam! 26．According to the passage, which can we learn how to solve problems from? A．Wechat B．Duolingo C．wikiHow D．Douyin 27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．WikiHow can teach you how to make things. B．The short video App is always a time waste. C．Only a few young students use the Internet to study. D．The three teenagers all think that online resources are useful. 28．What’s the purpose of the report? A．To tell how young people use the Internet to relax themselves. B．To tell how young people use the Internet to learn. C．To tell how schools keep students away from the Internet. D．To tell how parents teach teenagers to make use of the Internet. People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 29．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．A new study adds chickens to the list. B．Scientists know nothing about it. C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．Humans may not like animals. 30．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A． B． C． D． 31．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Control. B．Hide. C．Know. D．Hurt. 32．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers Noise alert Crying babies. Buzzing mosquitoes. Ringing car alarms. They are all annoying noises. But what’s the worst? A recent survey lists the things we hate to hear. The list of horrible noises had over 100 items. Several mobile phone ringtones appear near the top. Other noises include barking dogs, pneumatic drills (风钻). electric leaf blowers, loud snoring and banging noises early on a Sunday morning. However, number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist’s drill, “That just sends shivers down my spine,” said one person. “After a visit to the dentist, I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It’s horrible.” said another.” I’ve seen patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill,” explained a dentist. Of course, anyone who’s actually been to the dentist and heard the sound will probably agree with that. But there’s some good news. A new device (设备) developed by experts at universities can cancel out the sound of the drill. The tiny gadget (小装置) allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is canceled out. However, patients are still able to hear the dentist’s voice because not all sounds are filtered (过滤) out. The theory behind it is fairly simple. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and change them into digital signals. Then, electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. However, the great thing is that this technology also allows others noises ( such as the dentist’s voice) to come through. It’s easy to use, too. Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players. Then, via headphones, they can listen to music and hear the dentist’s voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill. Fantastic! So, next time you go to the dentist, remember to bring your MP3 player. 33．What’s on the top of the list of horrible noises according to the recent survey? A．Barking dogs. B．A dentist’s drill. C．Electric leaf blowers. D．A mobile phone. 34．What dos the underlined phrase, “send shivers down my spine” probably mean?

After graduating from Lijiang Teachers College in 1990, Zhang became a middle-school teacher. Five years later, she went to teach in the mountainous Huaping county, Yunnan, a place that was totally s 56 to her. In Huaping, she found that because of little money and old ideas, many parents didn’t support their d 57 education. Many girls dropped out of school and got m 58 at a young age. “An educated mother would never let her children drop out of school,” Zhang said. “As long as I have one more breath, I will keep teaching in the classroom, with all my efforts, giving out e 59 I have.” With this belief, Zhang decided to set up a f 60 high school for girls in 2002, an idea many called crazy. With help from the local government, as well as personal donations, Zhang finally founded Huaping High School for Girls in 2008. To s 61 any student from dropping out of school, Zhang has kept a habit of visiting every student’s home, which means she may have to travel several hours deep in the mountains. So far, the school has helped around 2,000 girls from poor mountains to enter u 62 , successfully changing their lives. Apart from providing a school, Zhang has kept encouraging them to believe that a 63 girls, they deserve (值得) everything good in the world.

This idea of shaping the girls’ mind is also seen in the first part of the school’s motto (座右铭): “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek.” 六、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What is it like to grow up? As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our journey toward adulthood? In the US, getting your driver’s license (执照) at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). You may have seen kids celebrating their first car in movies and TV shows. It is the first true taste of independence for most teenagers. But not every teenager gets a car right away. Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car. Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). Held at the end of the year the prom is a graduation celebration for senior high school students. Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom “king” and “queen”. For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It’s a time for them to dress and act like an adult. And there’s still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol (酒). This is also the time when most children move out of their parents’ home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to consider us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult? Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: taking responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially (经济上) independent. I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one’s maturity (成熟). If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you’re ready to be responsible. 66．What can be seen as a major coming-of-age ritual in the US? 67．What do parents usually buy for their kids as their first car? 68．When is the prom held? 69．At what age can one vote in the US? 70．In your opinion, what’s the true meaning of growing up? 七、书面表达 （本题满分25分） 71．初中生活绚丽多彩，在近三年的磨砺中，你们都变得越来越优秀，学习更加勤奋，与人相处更加和谐。请为校广播台写一篇以To be a better self为题的英文演讲稿，和同学们分享你的经验或感受，谈一谈如何做更好的自己。 注意事项：1. 围绕要点，合理展开，适当补充； 2. 不得使用真实姓名，校名和地名； 3. 词数不少于100词。 To be a better self Dear all, I am really proud that I have grown up and achieved a lot in the past three years.
