When the fight began, everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. People must squash (压扁) the tomatoes before throwing them in order not to hurt anybody.

One way is to show students photos and ask them to talk about what they see. A free learning website has begun publishing (刊登) a special photo every Monday. It invites teachers to use these photos to discuss with their students. They call this part “What’s going on in this picture?” The website suggests that teachers should ask two questions: The first is “What is going on in this picture?” The second is “What else can you find?” Readers can post comments* on what they think is happening in the photo. Later each week, the website will provide a description of the photo for teachers. As a student, you can use this method to practise new grammar points with a partner. For example, look at the picture on the right. It is about a man putting out a fire. He is climbing a long ladder high in the air. Then, you can ask questions. For example, if you are studying the tense (时态), you can ask your partner, “What is he doing?” In other ways, you can use your creative thinking to make this game more interesting. Here are some ideas. For example, show only part of a photo and ask, “What do you think this photo is about?” Then slowly show more and more of the photo until all of it is seen. Besides, you can also write a description of the photo together after discussing it. When you have finished, read your stories to each other. If you try this activity, you will find that the old saying is true: A picture is worth a thousand words. *The word “comments” means words and sentences that express a personal opinion or add information. 28. What can language teachers do with the photos provided on the website? A. Encourage students to practise speaking. B. Teach students how to take photos. C. Ask students to write a story about the photos. D. Help students enjoy the beauty of the photos. 29. According to the picture, if you are studying the preposition (prep.) (介词), what question can you ask? A. Who is the man? B. Where is the man? C. How old is the man? D. How long is the ladder? 30. How does the writer end the passage? A. By using a saying. B. By telling a joke. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个免费学习网站通过每周发布特殊图片，帮助语言教师和学生进行口语练习和语法学习的方法与活动建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容“Language teachers are always looking for new ways to encourage students to practise speaking in class. One way is to show students photos and ask them to talk about what they see.”可知，他们用这些图片鼓励学生在课堂上练习口语。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example, look at the picture on the right. It is about a man putting out a fire. He is climbing a long ladder high in the air. Then, you can ask questions. For example, if you are studying the tense (时态) , you can ask your partner, ‘What is he doing?’”可知，第三段举例说明如何用图片练习语法点，给出图片描述是：“这是关于一个人灭火的照片。他正在爬一个高高的长梯子。”文章举例说，如果学“时态”，可以问“What is he doing?”。以此类推，题目问如果学“介词”，我们应该提问位置。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you try this activity, you will find that the old saying is true: A picture is worth a thousand words.”可知，文章结尾直接引用了一句著名的谚语：“A picture is worth a thousand words. (一图胜千言)”，用来总结全文，强调图片对于激发语言表达的巨大作用。故选A。 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（共5小题，计5分） When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth.

We should thank the ancient Chinese for it. 【答案】46. put 47. problems 48. its 49. cleaned 50. earliest 51. hard 52. uncomfortably 53. international 54. invention 55. habit 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了我们日常使用的牙刷的相关历史。 【46题详解】 句意：我们通常把它放在浴室里。结合语境“牙刷的放置位置”，方框中“put”意为“放置”，全文时态为一般现在时，主语“we”是第一人称复数，用动词原形，故填put。 【47题详解】 句意：没有它，我们的牙齿可能会有问题。“have problems with”是固定搭配，意为“在……方面有问题”，方框中“problem”需用复数形式problems，故填problems。 【48题详解】 句意：但你知道它的历史吗？空格后“history”是名词，需用形容词性物主代词修饰，方框中“it”的形容词性物主代词为its，意为“它的”，指代牙刷的历史，故填its。 【49题详解】 句意：根据一些研究，在牙刷出现之前，古代中国人用一些小树枝清洁牙齿。结合“with some small tree branches”，可知此处表示“清洁牙齿”，方框中“clean”意为“清洁”；讲述古代的事，时态为一般过去时，clean的过去式为cleaned，故填cleaned。 【50题详解】 句意：它可能是世界上最早的牙刷形式。结合“about 800 years ago”和语境，此处表示“最早的”，方框中“early”的最高级形式为earliest，故填earliest。 【51题详解】 句意：例如，人们选择马毛而不是猪毛，因为猪毛太硬了。结合“chose horse hair instead of pig hair”，可知猪毛存在缺点，方框中“hard”意为“硬的”，符合“猪毛过硬不适合做牙刷”的逻辑，故填hard。 【52题详解】 句意：想象一下，你回到几百年前，不舒服地刷牙。前文提到古代牙刷材质硬，此处应表示“刷牙不舒服”，方框中“comfortably”的否定形式为uncomfortably，意为“不舒服地”，修饰动词“brush”，故填uncomfortably。 【53题详解】 句意：大约在15世纪，中国的牙刷进入了国际市场，并传入了欧洲。结合“found its way into Europe”，可知牙刷进入了“国际市场”，方框中“international”意为“国际的”，修饰名词“market”，故填international。 【54题详解】 句意：牙刷的发明不如造纸术有名，但它在日常生活中非常有用。此处表示“牙刷的发明”，方框中“invent”的名词形式为invention，故填invention。 【55题详解】 句意：今天我们有刷牙的好习惯。“have a good habit of doing sth.”是固定搭配，意为“有做某事的好习惯”，方框中“habit”意为“习惯”，用单数形式，故填habit。 VII. 任务型阅读： 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 In recent years, the idea of flying cars has moved from science fiction to real life. These cars, often called VTOL aircraft, are designed to combine the advantages of cars and the speed of airplanes. Some technology companies are working hard to develop them, hoping to change the way we travel in cities. Flying cars use new technologies such as electric power, self-driving systems and tools to avoid accidents. They can take off and land in small spaces. This makes them perfect for busy cities. Imagine a future where you can avoid traffic by flying from your home to your school or workplace in much less time! However, there are still challenges. Safety is a big problem because flying cars must share the sky with other airplanes and avoid obstacles (障碍物) . Laws and rules also need to be developed to control their uses. Besides, the cost of these cars must be lowered so that more people can afford them. Although there are problems to solve, flying cars are good for our lives. For example, they could reduce traffic, lower pollution, and help emergency services reach places faster. They could also change how cities are planned. For example, buildings become taller instead of spreading out. Flying cars are an exciting new idea of travel. As technology improves, the dream of flying cars may soon become a normal part of our lives. 56. What are flying cars like? They combine the advantages of cars and ________. 57. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? It refers to ________. 58. How many challenges of flying cars are mentioned in the text? ________ challenges are mentioned in the text. 59. How will flying cars influence city planning according to Paragraph 4? They will make ________. 60. Will you use flying cars in your life? Why? _________________ 【答案】56. the speed of airplanes 57. flying cars 58. Three 59. buildings become taller instead of spreading out 60. No, I won’t. Because they might be too expensive and raise safety concerns. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了集汽车优势和飞机速度于一体的飞行汽车的技术特点、当前面临的挑战以及未来可能为城市交通和生活带来的变革。 【56题详解】 根据第一段中“These cars, often called VTOL aircraft, are designed to combine the advantages of cars and the speed of airplanes.”可知，飞行汽车结合了汽车的优点和飞机的速度。故填the speed of airplanes。 【57题详解】 根据第二段中“Flying cars use new technologies such as electric power, self-driving systems and tools to avoid accidents. They can take off and land in small spaces. This makes them perfect for busy cities.”可知，飞行汽车使用电力、自动驾驶系统和工具等新技术来避免事故。它们可以在狭小的空间里起飞和降落。这使得它们非常适合繁忙的城市。由此可知，下画线“them”指的是前文提到的flying cars。故填flying cars。 【58题详解】 根据第三段内容“However, there are still challenges. Safety is a big problem because flying cars must share the sky with other airplanes and avoid obstacles (障碍物) . Laws and rules also need to be developed to control their uses. Besides, the cost of these cars must be lowered so that more people can afford them.”可知，飞行汽车的挑战有安全问题、法律和规则的限制以及费用问题，共3种。故填Three。 【59题详解】 根据第四段中“They could also change how cities are planned. For example, buildings become taller instead of spreading out.”可知，飞行汽车将使建筑物变得更高，而不是向外扩散。故填buildings become taller instead of spreading out。 【60题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考答案为No, I won’t. Because they might be too expensive and raise safety concerns. VIII. 补全对话。 根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 A: Hi, Tony! _____61_____? B: Hi, I’m reading a book about some great inventions.

B Dear Michael, How’s your vacation? I’m visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia, Spain. I enjoy my life here. What an amazing city it is! Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. Maybe you have never heard of this festival before. Neither have I. My uncle told me that the tomato festival is called “La Tomatina” in Spanish. It has the biggest and messiest (最凌乱的) tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival would take place, the square was full of people from all over the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the number of people there was around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol. When the fight began, everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. People must squash (压扁) the tomatoes before throwing them in order not to hurt anybody. After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were covered with red. There was no winner in this fight, but we all had fun. I wish you were there, too. ________. Take care. With love, Linda PS (附言): Together with this letter, you can see a photo of the tomato festival. 24. According to the letter, which of the following is TRUE? A. Bunol is over 30 kilometers away from Valencia. B. Linda won first place in the tomato fight. C. Linda went to the tomato festival with her uncle. D. Linda had heard of this festival before. 25. Why did people squash the tomatoes? A. To help people eat the tomatoes easily. B. To keep everyone in the fight safe. C. To help people throw the tomatoes far. D. To make the tomatoes taste better. 26 Which of the following can be put in “________”? A. Time really flies B. Have a nice trip C. I hope to hear from you soon D. How interesting the fight is 27. Which photo did Michael get from Linda? A. B. C. D. C Language teachers are always looking for new ways to encourage students to practise speaking in class. One way is to show students photos and ask them to talk about what they see. A free learning website has begun publishing (刊登) a special photo every Monday. It invites teachers to use these photos to discuss with their students. They call this part “What’s going on in this picture?” The website suggests that teachers should ask two questions: The first is “What is going on in this picture?” The second is “What else can you find?” Readers can post comments* on what they think is happening in the photo. Later each week, the website will provide a description of the photo for teachers. As a student, you can use this method to practise new grammar points with a partner. For example, look at the picture on the right. It is about a man putting out a fire. He is climbing a long ladder high in the air. Then, you can ask questions. For example, if you are studying the tense (时态), you can ask your partner, “What is he doing?” In other ways, you can use your creative thinking to make this game more interesting. Here are some ideas. For example, show only part of a photo and ask, “What do you think this photo is about?” Then slowly show more and more of the photo until all of it is seen. Besides, you can also write a description of the photo together after discussing it. When you have finished, read your stories to each other. If you try this activity, you will find that the old saying is true: A picture is worth a thousand words. *The word “comments” means words and sentences that express a personal opinion or add information. 28. What can language teachers do with the photos provided on the website? A. Encourage students to practise speaking. B. Teach students how to take photos. C. Ask students to write a story about the photos. D. Help students enjoy the beauty of the photos. 29. According to the picture, if you are studying the preposition (prep.) (介词), what question can you ask? A. Who is the man? B. Where is the man? C How old is the man? D. How long is the ladder? 30. How does the writer end the passage? A. By using a saying. B. By telling a joke. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（共5小题，计5分） When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth.
