Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实). Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time. Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged (鼓励) to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company KFC in the world. Dreaming is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true. 49. People who ________ could probably realize their dreams. A. find a way to dream B. dream and hold fast to them C. get the meaning of life D. have very good school results 50. Young people should be encouraged to dream because ________. A. their dreams are natural B. they are greater than everyone else C. they have much knowledge D. their dreams might change the world 51. What does the example of Colonel Sanders show us? A. Setting up a big company is a wonderful ability. B. Developing technology can bring great progress. C. Even older people can make their dreams come true. D. People should be brave enough to dream when they are young. 52. The underlined word “naive” in the passage means ________. A. 逆反的 B. 幼稚的 C. 调皮的 D. 冲动的 C China has good news for families with young children. Nowadays, many families feel stressed to raise young children, as costs for daily needs and early education are increasing. So starting in January 2025, the government will put a new official rule into practice to support parents. This plan means families with babies and toddlers—children aged between one and three—will get money from the government. The national plan is made to give parents more support to raise children. So who can get this money? Every family in the country that has a child under three years old can get this financial help. For each young child, the family will receive 3,600 yuan every year, which is about 300 yuan per month—enough to ease some of the monthly cost. They will keep getting this money until the child is three. It doesn’t matter if the child is the first, second or third one in the family—all are included, showing fair support for every family. Before this rule became national, some cities like Shanghai and Chengdu tried it first, and it was very successful. Parents in those cities praised the plan, saying it really helped them manage daily expenses. This money is a big help, especially since raising a child costs a lot. Parents can use it to buy food, clothes and toys for their kids. Maybe they can even spend a little on fun activities like visiting a children’s museum. Getting the money is easy too. Parents don’t need to deal with lots of complicated papers. They can just apply online through a government app or website. After applying, the review process is quick—most families get a reply within a week. The government hopes this plan will let every young child grow up happily in a warm and supportive environment. 53. What does the underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. make something less B. take care of C. stop remembering D. look forward to 54. If a family has two children under three years old, how much money can they get every year? A. 3,600 yuan. B. 300 yuan. C. 7,200 yuan. D. 10,800 yuan. 55. We can know from the passage that ________. A. only families with one child can get the help B. raising children in China is not expensive C. the plan was tested in some cities before D. parents need to fill in many papers to apply 56. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to ask for the Chinese government’s help. B. A new plan to support families with young kids. C. The cost of raising young children in China now. D. The life of young children in China nowadays. D Most customers did not care about the health of the carter (马车夫) or the horses. But this nice customer cared. His name is Mr Grant. One day, Mr Grant and his friend were in our cab. He saw a carter whipping (鞭打) his horse. He shouted at the carter to stop. The name of the carter’s employer was on the side of the cart. Jerry wrote down the name of the carter’s employer. Mr Grant’s friend said, “This is none of our business. Why worry about other men’s horses?” “Do you know why there are so many problems in the world?” Mr Grant asked his friend. His friend did not answer. “It’s because too many people look after only their own business,” Mr Grant said. I was happy to have nice customers like Mr Grant. I was also happy that I worked for Jerry, because other owners often hurt their horses. One day, I was waiting for Jerry in town. A horse came by. She was pulling a cart. The horse was Ginger. She looked very sick. She couldn’t walk well. She looked very sad. “Hello, Black Beauty,” she said. “You’re the only friend I ever had.” I wanted to talk to her, but she couldn’t stop. The carter whipped her to make her keep moving. Later that day, I passed a dead horse on the side of the road. That horse was Ginger. I was very sad. “That poor horse had a hard life,” I thought. Many horses had difficult lives. Jerry owned me, but some carters did not own their horses. These drivers had to work the horses hard to pay back the owners. Other jobs were hard, too. The butcher’s horses had to go very fast. The customers wanted their meat to be fresh, so they didn’t like to wait. The baker’s horses carried a lot of weight. The horses would become very weak. Jerry was kind to me. He fed me good food, and we rested every Sunday. Our work was hard in the winter, but Jerry was kind. He always helped people. One day, a poor young woman came up to us. She was carrying a heavy child. “Please help me,” she said to my driver. “I must take my child to the hospital.” “It’s a long way to the hospital,” Jerry said. “You can’t carry that child all that way. Take a cab.” “I have no money for a cab,” the woman said. Jerry drove them for free. We took the mother and her child to the doctor. The doctor helped them, and the child got better. —From Black Beauty 57. What does Jerry do? A. He is a carter. B. He works on Mr Grant’s farm. C. He is a worker in a factory. D. He works in a rich family. 58. What can we know about Mr Grant from the story? A. He owns horses and is kind to them. B. He looks after only his own business. C. He cares about the health of other men’s horses but can do nothing to help them. D. He thinks everyone should do something to help solve the problems in the world. 59. What does “I” think of Jerry? A. Cold and selfish. B. Wise and careful. C. Kind and helpful. D. Rude and bad. 60. Ginger was dead on the side of the road because ________. A she was very old and sick B. her master disliked her C. she was often whipped and lived a hard life D. she had few friends and no one could help her 61. How did Jerry help the young woman and her child? A. He told them to take a cab. B. He drove them to the hospital for free. C. He gave some money to them. D. He asked the doctor to help them. 七选五 Houseplants make you happy Bring the outside in to boost (使兴旺；使增长) your wellbeing (康乐) Plants aren’t just nice to look at.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer __________ in the countryside __________ the fresh air. A. live; to breathe B. living; to breathing C. to live; to breathing D. to live; to breathe 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在，越来越多的人更喜欢住到农村去呼吸新鲜空气。 考查非谓语动词。更喜欢做某事：prefer to do sth；搬到乡下的目的是呼吸新鲜空气，用不定式作目的状语，故选D。 22. It’s well known that fire can be dangerous, so we can’t be ________ careful with it. A. so B. very C. too D. quite 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：众所周知火是很危险的，因此对于火我们再怎么小心都不过分。 考查副词辨析。so比较口语化，有“那么，多么”的意思；very通常与修饰人或物的形容词连用；too表示的程度较强，有“太……”；quite修饰形容或副词的比较级。根据“It’s well known that fire can be dangerous”可知，火很危险，这里是can’t…too…“太……也不过分”。故选C。 23. It’s a pity that I missed the live broadcast of the fourth Tiangong Class! Could you tell me ________? A. how long did the class last B. who was the teacher this time C. which channel was it covered live D. which army are they from 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：很遗憾，我错过了第四届天宫班的直播！你能告诉我这次的老师是谁吗？ 考查宾语从句。根据前半句“Could you tell me...”，再结合选项可知，此处是宾语从句，要遵循陈述句语序，故排除A、C、D。B选项中who作从句的主语，was是谓语动词，the teacher作宾语，符合陈述句语序。故选B。 24. —I feel stressed from time to time. What can I do with it? —________ sharing your worries with your parents? A. How about B. Why not C. Would you like D. You’d better 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不时感到压力，我能怎么处理呢？——和你的父母分享你的忧虑怎么样？ 考查特殊疑问句。how about怎么样，后加动名词；why not为什么不，后加动词原形；would you like你想要，后加不定式；you’d better你最好，后加动词原形。sharing是动名词，故用how about。故选A。 25. —My dream is to be a CEO of the big company in the future. —________, lazy boy! I think you’d better finish your homework on time every day first. A. In your dreams B. Every dog has its day C. Better late than never D. The early bird catches the worm 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我的梦想是将来当大公司的CEO。——做梦吧，懒小子！我认为你最好首先每天按时完成作业。 考查情景交际。In your dreams你做梦去吧；Every dog has its day人人皆有得意时；Better late than never迟做总比不做好；The early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃。根据“My dream is to be a CEO of the big company in the future.”以及“…, lazy boy! I think you’d better finish your homework on time every day first.”可知，回答者并不相信说话者能实现他的梦想，当别人说了一些你认为不可能发生的事情时，通常用In your dreams“你做梦去吧”来作为回应。故选A。 26. —What shall we do now? —________ it’s raining hard, let’s stay at home. A. Since B. Though C. If D. As soon as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们现在该怎么办？——既然雨下得很大，我们就待在家里吧。 考查连词辨析。Since既然；Though虽然；If是否，如果；As soon as一……就……。根据“it’s raining hard, let’s stay at home”可知，既然雨下得大，所以决定待在家里，用since引导原因状语从句，故选A。 27. —How was your trip to Malin Mountain last Saturday? —Oh, ________ amazing experience! I’ll never forget it. A. what B. what an C. how D. how an 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你上星期六去马林山玩得怎么样？——哦，多么神奇的经历! 我永远不会忘记。 考查感叹句的用法。what修饰名词，how修饰形容词和副词。根据amazing experience“神奇的经历”，可知是名词短语，用what。What+a/an+形容词+可数名词！experience当经历讲是可数名词，amazing发音以元音音素开头，用an。故选B。 28. My little sister is a ________ girl and she always has so many strange questions. A. serious B. curious C. careful D. confident 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的小妹妹是个好奇的女孩，她总有那么多问题。 考查形容词词义辨析。serious严肃的，认真的；curious好奇的；careful仔细的；confident自信的。根据“she always has so many strange questions.”可知，我的小妹妹是个好奇的女孩。故选B。 29. _________ Tom _________ his cousin have learnt the courses on music, but _________ of them shows interest in pop music. A. Not only; but also; all B. Neither; nor; both C. Both; and; neither D. Both; and; all 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆和他的表弟都学过音乐课程，但他们都对流行音乐不感兴趣。 考查连词和代词。Not only...but also...不仅……，而且……，谓语用就近原则；Neither...nor...既不……，也不……，谓语用就近原则；Both...and...……和……两者都，谓语用复数形式；all三者或三者以上都；both两者都。此处谓语have learnt是复数形式，因此both…and，连词but前后表示转折关系，but前表示他们两个都学过音乐课程，but后表示他们两个都对流行音乐不感兴趣，因此用neither，故选C。 30. —Why do you look so sleepy in class, John? —Sorry, sir. I _________ to watch a football match last night. A. eaten up B. made up C. stayed up D. put up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——约翰，你为什么在课堂上看起来这么困？——对不起，老师。昨天晚上我熬夜看足球赛了。 考查动词短语。eaten up吃光；made up编造；stayed up熬夜；put up张贴。根据“Why do you look so sleepy in class, John?”可知很困倦，因此是熬夜看足球赛了。故选C。 三．完形填空(15分) 阅读短文，从短文后所给四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Once a teacher asked his two students to go and meet him at the start of a road which was near a forest.

Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实). Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time. Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged (鼓励) to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company KFC in the world. Dreaming is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true. 49. People who ________ could probably realize their dreams. A. find a way to dream B. dream and hold fast to them C. get the meaning of life D. have very good school results 50. Young people should be encouraged to dream because ________. A. their dreams are natural B. they are greater than everyone else C. they have much knowledge D. their dreams might change the world 51. What does the example of Colonel Sanders show us? A. Setting up a big company is a wonderful ability. B. Developing technology can bring great progress. C. Even older people can make their dreams come true. D. People should be brave enough to dream when they are young. 52. The underlined word “naive” in the passage means ________. A. 逆反的 B. 幼稚的 C. 调皮的 D. 冲动的 【答案】49. B 50. D 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文强调了梦想的重要性，认为每一个伟大的成就都是多年梦想的结果，文中以孩子、青少年、成年人和老人为例，说明不同年龄阶段的人都应该有梦想，并积极实现梦想。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).”可知，有梦想并坚持梦想的人会实现梦想。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They dreamt and their dreams changed their lives and even the world.”可知，年轻人的梦想可能会改变世界。故选D。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality.”可知，Colonel Sanders的例子告诉我们即使老年人也可以实现梦想。故选C。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive.”可知，此处表达孩子们是天生的梦想家，他们的想法应该是天真幼稚的，故我们不应该嘲笑他们的幼稚，故推出划线部分naive意为“幼稚的”。故选B。 C China has good news for families with young children. Nowadays, many families feel stressed to raise young children, as costs for daily needs and early education are increasing. So starting in January 2025, the government will put a new official rule into practice to support parents. This plan means families with babies and toddlers—children aged between one and three—will get money from the government. The national plan is made to give parents more support to raise children. So who can get this money? Every family in the country that has a child under three years old can get this financial help. For each young child, the family will receive 3,600 yuan every year, which is about 300 yuan per month—enough to ease some of the monthly cost. They will keep getting this money until the child is three. It doesn’t matter if the child is the first, second or third one in the family—all are included, showing fair support for every family. Before this rule became national, some cities like Shanghai and Chengdu tried it first, and it was very successful. Parents in those cities praised the plan, saying it really helped them manage daily expenses. This money is a big help, especially since raising a child costs a lot. Parents can use it to buy food, clothes and toys for their kids. Maybe they can even spend a little on fun activities like visiting a children’s museum. Getting the money is easy too. Parents don’t need to deal with lots of complicated papers. They can just apply online through a government app or website. After applying, the review process is quick—most families get a reply within a week. The government hopes this plan will let every young child grow up happily in a warm and supportive environment. 53. What does the underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. make something less B. take care of C. stop remembering D. look forward to 54. If a family has two children under three years old, how much money can they get every year? A. 3,600 yuan. B. 300 yuan. C. 7,200 yuan. D. 10,800 yuan. 55. We can know from the passage that ________. A. only families with one child can get the help B. raising children in China is not expensive C. the plan was tested in some cities before D. parents need to fill in many papers to apply 56. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to ask for the Chinese government’s help. B. A new plan to support families with young kids. C. The cost of raising young children in China now. D. The life of young children in China nowadays. 【答案】53. A 54. C 55. C 56. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国政府为有幼儿家庭提供财政支持的政策，从2025年开始，家庭可以每年获得3,600元的补贴，帮助缓解育儿费用。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“which is about 300 yuan per month—enough to ease some of the monthly cost”可知，这笔钱能“缓解”或“降低”部分月度开支的压力，因此“ease”最接近make something less“使某事物变少”。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For each young child, the family will receive 3,600 yuan every year ... It doesn’t matter if the child is the first, second or third one in the family—all are included.” 可知，每个符合条件的孩子每年可获得3600元。若一个家庭有两名三岁以下儿童，则总金额为3600×2=7200元。故选C。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Before this rule became national, some cities like Shanghai and Chengdu tried it first, and it was very successful.” 可知，这项全国性政策推行前已在上海、成都等城市进行过试验并取得成功。故选C。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了中国政府为有幼儿家庭提供财政支持的政策，从2025年开始，家庭可以每年获得3,600元的补贴，帮助缓解育儿费用。选项B“政府推出新计划支持育儿家庭”是核心主题。故选B。 D Most customers did not care about the health of the carter (马车夫) or the horses. But this nice customer cared. His name is Mr Grant. One day, Mr Grant and his friend were in our cab. He saw a carter whipping (鞭打) his horse. He shouted at the carter to stop. The name of the carter’s employer was on the side of the cart. Jerry wrote down the name of the carter’s employer. Mr Grant’s friend said, “This is none of our business. Why worry about other men’s horses?” “Do you know why there are so many problems in the world?” Mr Grant asked his friend. His friend did not answer. “It’s because too many people look after only their own business,” Mr Grant said. I was happy to have nice customers like Mr Grant. I was also happy that I worked for Jerry, because other owners often hurt their horses. One day, I was waiting for Jerry in town. A horse came by. She was pulling a cart. The horse was Ginger. She looked very sick. She couldn’t walk well. She looked very sad. “Hello, Black Beauty,” she said. “You’re the only friend I ever had.” I wanted to talk to her, but she couldn’t stop. The carter whipped her to make her keep moving. Later that day, I passed a dead horse on the side of the road. That horse was Ginger. I was very sad. “That poor horse had a hard life,” I thought. Many horses had difficult lives. Jerry owned me, but some carters did not own their horses. These drivers had to work the horses hard to pay back the owners. Other jobs were hard, too. The butcher’s horses had to go very fast. The customers wanted their meat to be fresh, so they didn’t like to wait. The baker’s horses carried a lot of weight. The horses would become very weak. Jerry was kind to me. He fed me good food, and we rested every Sunday. Our work was hard in the winter, but Jerry was kind. He always helped people. One day, a poor young woman came up to us. She was carrying a heavy child. “Please help me,” she said to my driver. “I must take my child to the hospital.” “It’s a long way to the hospital,” Jerry said. “You can’t carry that child all that way. Take a cab.” “I have no money for a cab,” the woman said. Jerry drove them for free. We took the mother and her child to the doctor. The doctor helped them, and the child got better. —From Black Beauty 57. What does Jerry do? A. He is a carter. B. He works on Mr Grant’s farm. C. He is a worker in a factory. D. He works in a rich family. 58. What can we know about Mr Grant from the story? A. He owns horses and is kind to them. B. He looks after only his own business. C. He cares about the health of other men’s horses but can do nothing to help them. D. He thinks everyone should do something to help solve the problems in the world. 59. What does “I” think of Jerry?
