A．reached, to get on it B．arrived, to get it on C．arrived, to get on it D．reached, to get it on 【答案】C 【详解】句意：公交车到达时；孩子们迫不及待地要上车。 考查动词辨析及动词辨析。reached到达，及物动词，后需跟宾语；arrived到达，不及物动词，后不跟宾语。根据“When the bus ...”可知，空后无宾语，用arrived，排除A、D选项；couldn’t wait to do sth“迫不及待要做某事”，get on“上车”，为“动词+介词”构成的短语，代词放在介词后面。故选C。 9．—Your children can draw very well.

A．Good idea. B．Guess what? C．Are you serious? D．Never mind. 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我计划暑假去美国旅行。——你认真的吗？这段时间我们最好待在家里。 考查情景交际。Good idea好主意；Guess what猜怎么了；Are you serious你认真的吗；Never mind没关系。根据答语“We’d better stay home during this period of time.”可知，答者认为这段时间我们最好待在家里，由此推测此处是答者是在质疑对方是否在开玩笑，故选C。 二、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Do you know something about self-control?

Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season. People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. However, the popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay. Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay, experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists. Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter, so it can attract (吸引) visitors all year. Maybe the people in charge of Altay should keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions, as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better. It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists. In the last few years, other places,like Dali in Yunnan Province, have also become popular tourist destinations because of interesting TV dramas.By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities, Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area. 24．What is Altay famous for now?

You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,”said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. 28．Why do foreigners love the sentence “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” A．Because it helps find someone better. B．Because it is funny and cool. C．Because it is easy to remember. D．Because it is from a poem. 29．Which is true about Chinglish? A．It has few grammar mistakes. B．Only Chinese people speak it. C．It usually shows Chinese culture. D．It’s easier for people to understand. 30．What does “touches” in Paragraph 4 mean?

C．Chinese people are getting better at speaking English. D．Foreigners find it hard to understand Chinese culture. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了中式英语表达在外国人中变得流行。 28．细节理解题。根据“This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it.”可知这句话有趣且酷，因此它在外国人中流行。 故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.”可知中式英语背后往往含有中国文化，故选C。 30．词义猜测题。根据“English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known ‘add oil’ has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture.”可知有当地特色的英语表达也会变得受欢迎，如“add oil”出现在牛津字典中。故“touches”表示“特色”，故选D。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文， 文章主要讲述了中式英语表达在外国人中变得流行。故选B。 D In our life, we should often be ready for change that will help us unlock (释放) our self-improvement power (自我提升的力量) . However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst. When do we know that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth fall off. We see the warning (警告) signs when things get difficult. Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world go to pieces. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful (痛苦的) when we take no notice of it. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we know it’s good for ourselves. Happy people don’t just accept (接受) change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who are afraid of change. Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane believed. Every time a great number of people come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking our self-improvement power, we will find that we can take things light and become happy. 32．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 2? A．To show that health is the most important. B．To list the problems people often have in their life. C．To tell that people do not know their problems at times. D．To show that we learn lessons when having pain. 33．What advice (建议) is helpful to Jane’s problem? A．Always believe in herself. B．Unlock herself out of the box of thought. C．Get on with people in a friendly way. D．Talk with people around her patiently. 34．Which of the following opinions may the writer support? A．Change is always good for us if we like it. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．If you welcome change in life, you’ll make it better. D．Process of self-improvement makes life worse. 35．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Is it important to take things light? B．Are you ready for every change in life? C．Painful change, happy life! D．To unlock ourselves out of the box of thought or to stay in it? 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文作者论述了释放自我提升能力的力量是在一切都变得最糟糕的时候，因此作者认为迎接生活中的变化，才能把它变得更好。享受释放自我提升能力的整个过程时，我们才会意识到我们开始变得轻松快乐。 32．推理判断题。根据“We see the warning signs when things get difficult.”可知，第2段主要告诉我们，当事情变得艰难时，我们会看到警告信号。也就是说，我们在经历痛苦时才会吸取了教训。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据“Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are.”可知，释放我们自我提升的力量意味着把我们自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。因此，要解决Jane的问题，要建议她把自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。故选B。 34．观点态度题。根据第五段“Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it.”可知，快乐的人不仅仅接受改变；他们对此表示欢迎。也就是说，作者认为，如果你欢迎生活中的变化，你会让它变得更好。故选C。 35．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，尤其是“Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who are afraid of change.”以及最后一句“And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking out self-improvement power, we will find that we can take things light and become happy.”可知，作者认为享受释放自我提升能力的整个过程时，我们才会意识到我们开始变得轻松快乐，所以适合本文的标题是：是把我们自己从思想的盒子里打开还是留在里面？故选D。 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Choosing a career (职业) isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind.

B Altay (阿勒泰), a place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区), has become a famous place for tourists because of a successful TV show named To the Wonder (我的阿勒泰). The show displayed the area’s amazing natural beauty, with mountains covered in snow, lakes that are very clear, and old villages that are still in good condition. Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season. People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. However, the popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay. Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay, experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists. Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter, so it can attract (吸引) visitors all year. Maybe the people in charge of Altay should keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions, as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better. It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists. In the last few years, other places,like Dali in Yunnan Province, have also become popular tourist destinations because of interesting TV dramas.By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities, Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area. 24．What is Altay famous for now? A．Its amazing natural beauty. B．Its skiing sports in winter. C．Its popular TV show. D．Both A and B． 25．Before the TV show, why wasn't Altay a popular place to visit? A．Because it was far away and expensive to visit. B．Because it was unknown to most people. C．Because it didn’t have beautiful nature. D．Because it was too cold in winter. 26．Which is NOT the advice to attract tourists according to the passage? A．Make it easier to travel there. B．Put more advertisements. C．Lower the cost of hotels. D．Improve tourism and cultural attractions. 27．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．Altay is the only place that has been popularized by TV shows. B．Dali has become popular because of the interesting T-V drama. C．TV dramas are as interesting as TV shows. D．TV shows can help improve tourism. C “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,”said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. 28．Why do foreigners love the sentence “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” A．Because it helps find someone better. B．Because it is funny and cool. C．Because it is easy to remember. D．Because it is from a poem. 29．Which is true about Chinglish? A．It has few grammar mistakes. B．Only Chinese people speak it. C．It usually shows Chinese culture. D．It’s easier for people to understand. 30．What does “touches” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．触摸 B．感动 C．联系 D．特色 31．What is the passage mainly about? A．Foreigners love Chinglish expressions about animals. B．Chinglish are becoming popular among foreigners. C．Chinese people are getting better at speaking English. D．Foreigners find it hard to understand Chinese culture. D In our life, we should often be ready for change that will help us unlock (释放) our self-improvement power (自我提升的力量) . However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst. When do we know that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth fall off. We see the warning (警告) signs when things get difficult. Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world go to pieces. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful (痛苦的) when we take no notice of it. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we know it’s good for ourselves. Happy people don’t just accept (接受) change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who are afraid of change. Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane believed. Every time a great number of people come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking our self-improvement power, we will find that we can take things light and become happy. 32．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 2? A．To show that health is the most important. B．To list the problems people often have in their life. C．To tell that people do not know their problems at times. D．To show that we learn lessons when having pain. 33．What advice (建议) is helpful to Jane’s problem? A．Always believe in herself. B．Unlock herself out of the box of thought. C．Get on with people in a friendly way. D．Talk with people around her patiently. 34．Which of the following opinions may the writer support? A．Change is always good for us if we like it. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．If you welcome change in life, you’ll make it better. D．Process of self-improvement makes life worse. 35．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Is it important to take things light? B．Are you ready for every change in life? C．Painful change, happy life! D．To unlock ourselves out of the box of thought or to stay in it? 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Choosing a career (职业) isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind. Don’t let other people decide what you should do. Sometimes adults may want you to become a doctor, or work in banking, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 36    Think about what you are good at. Follow your heart and your personality. Your first decision isn’t forever. 37 They start a job, love it straight away and stick at (坚持) it. But it isn’t always like that. So remember that you can change your career. Maybe your first job doesn’t turn out to be suitable for you. Maybe the right job for you is right around the corner! 38 Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll make a lot of money. OK, if that is what you want. But, generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing some meaningful things for others. It doesn’t have to be charity work. 39 Just don’t forget that job satisfaction (满意度) isn’t only about money. A．Do something meaningful. B．Others can decide your future. C．Some lucky people get it right first time. D．So be sure that you are the one who makes that decision. E．Try your best to make money. F．It could be a job to help other people in the community. 五、阅读短文，回答问题。40-42题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分） Gregg liked riding his bike. His dream was to travel around the Americas (美洲).
