A. taking notes B. notes taking C. take note 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——每当我考试的时候，我总是很紧张！——如果你准备好培养在课堂上记笔记的学习技能，你就不会这样。 考查动名词作介词宾语。take notes“记笔记”，介词in“在”后用动名词形式。故选A。 2. You can easily make yourself understood while talking by getting your ________ right. A. conversation B. sentence C. pronunciation 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在交谈时，通过让自己发音正确，你可以轻松地让别人理解你。 考查名词辨析。conversation对话；sentence句子；pronunciation发音。根据“You can easily make yourself understood while talking”可知，发音正确才能让别人理解你说的话。故选C。 3. ________ knowledge can be learnt through a lot of reading. A. Much B. Many C. Quite a few 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多知识可以通过大量阅读来学习。 考查代词辨析。much许多，修饰不可数名词；many许多，修饰可数名词复数；quite a few相当多，修饰可数名词复数。knowledge是不可数名词，只有“much”符合语境。故选A。 4. —I don’t have a ________ to practice English with. —Why don’t you ________ an English club? A. chance; be in B. partner; join C. classmate; to take part in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我没有一个伙伴可以一起练习英语。——你为什么不加入一个英语俱乐部呢？ 考查名词辨析和动词用法。chance机会；partner伙伴；classmate同学；be in参加，强调状态；join加入，强调动作；take part in参加，强调参与活动。根据“to practice English with”可知，此处表示没有一起练习英语的伙伴，因此第一空用partner；根据“an English club”可知，此处表示加入一个英语俱乐部，强调动作，因此第二空用join。故选B。 5. —How do you remember new words? —There is not any better way than to ________ words out loud and memorize them. A. shout B. repeat C. talk 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你怎么记住新单词？——没有比大声重复单词并记住它们更好的方法了。 考查动词辨析。shout大喊；repeat重复；talk谈论。根据“words out loud and memorize them.”可知，记住新单词通常需要反复练习，重复（repeat）是常见有效的方法，而“大喊”或“谈论”不符合记忆单词的典型方式。故选B。 6. I think ________ a diary is a way out to improve your ________ English. A. keeping; written B. writing; spoken C. reading; writing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为写日记是提高你的书面英语的一个方法。 考查非谓语动词和形容词辨析。keeping保持；writing写；reading读；written书面的；spoken口语的。根据“diary”和“English”可知，记日记“keeping a diary”，对应的是提高“书面”英语。故选A。 7.

Noodles and eggs for a birthday dinner have long been ________ the idea of long life in Chinese culture. A. the secret to B. connected with C. reminded of 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在中国文化中，生日晚餐吃面条和鸡蛋长期以来都与长寿的寓意相关联。 考查短语辨析。the secret to……的秘诀；connected with与……相关联；reminded of使想起。根据“long life in Chinese culture”可知，此处指食物与长寿寓意存在关联。故选B。 10.

It depends on ... you have reviewed what you have learnt completely.”可知，depend on后接宾语从句，能否在这场英语考试中取得好成绩，应该是取决于“是否”已经完全复习了所学的内容。表示“是否”时应用whether。故选A。 12. He ________ his farming tool down and ________ on the grass to take a break. A. laid; lay B. lied; laid C. lay; lain 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他把农具放下，躺在草地上休息。 考查动词辨析及过去式。laid是lay“放置”的过去式；lay是lie“躺”的过去式；lied是lie“说谎”的过去式；lain是lie“躺”的过去分词形式。根据语境可知，第一空表示“放置”，用动词lay，其过去式是laid；第二空表示“躺”，用动词lie，其过去式是lay。所以第一空填laid，第二空填lay。故选A。 13. Lots of Chinese are crazy about ________ orchid (兰草) flowers, because they look like a human face.

A. that B. if C. what 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我想知道你是否能帮我解决这个数学问题。 考查宾语从句。that引导宾语从句时，无实际意义，只起连接作用；if是否；what什么。从句“you can help me solve this maths problem”成分完整，且“wonder”表示“想知道”，表达不确定的疑问含义，需用“if”引导，意为“是否”。故选B。 15. —Close neighbours are better than ________. —I couldn’t agree more. A. location B. relatives C. strangers 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——远亲不如近邻。——我非常同意。 考查名词辨析。location位置；relatives亲戚；strangers陌生人。根据“Close neighbours are better than ...”结合常识可知要表示“远亲不如近邻”，用“relatives”。故选B。 V.完形填空(共10题，每题1.5分，满分15分) You know that pile of homework is due tomorrow, but you just find yourself putting it off and ____16____ looking for distractions, such as checking your phone or logging into a social networking site.

Despite having a lot, he often felt unhappy due to the endless challenges. One day, a wise old man came to the village with 100 camels. It was said he could solve any problem. James went to see him and said, “I’m very unhappy with my life. I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please help me.” The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before he could go to sleep. The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. As we both know, some camels sat down on their own, while others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even if you tried hard to make them. If you had come back later, you would have seen that some of the camels, even though they didn’t sit at first, finally sat down on their own.” the old man said. James nodded. The old man continued, “Problems are just like camels—some problems get solved by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time. At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end.” James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life’s challenges. 31. What troubled James? A. He didn’t have enough to live a better life. B. He felt unhappy about endless problems. C. He didn’t like his wife or other family members. D. He didn’t know how to get away from business. 32. What did the old man ask James to do that night? A. Think about his question carefully. B. Watch the camels in case they were lost. C. Make all of the camels rest at the same time. D. Make sure the old man could sleep well. 33. How might James have felt that night? A. Excited. B. Annoyed. C. Scared. D. Bored. 34. What method did the old man use to teach James? A. Explaining the scientific reasons behind problems. B. Giving an example of common people’s lives. C. Comparing problems to camel sleeping. D. Showing the importance of working hard. 35. What did James learn from it? A. All problems can be solved with effort. B. Problems should be unnoticed until they disappear. C. Problems are like puzzles, endless and challenging. D. Some problems come to an end over time. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了商人詹姆斯因生活中的各种问题而烦恼，智者通过让他照顾100头骆驼并观察骆驼休息的情况，用骆驼休息的例子来类比生活中的问题，让詹姆斯明白有些问题会随时间自行解决，从而改变了詹姆斯看待生活挑战的方式。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Despite having a lot, he often felt unhappy due to the endless challenges.”以及第二段詹姆斯对智者说的话“I’m very unhappy with my life. I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems.”可知，詹姆斯因为无尽的问题而感到不快乐。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before he could go to sleep.”可知，老人让詹姆斯那晚确保所有的骆驼都同时休息。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段詹姆斯说的话“I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together...”可知，詹姆斯那晚没有睡好，无论怎么努力都无法让所有骆驼都坐下休息，由此可推断他可能会感到恼怒。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The old man continued, ‘Problems are just like camels...’”可知，老人通过将问题比作骆驼休息的方式来教导詹姆斯。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end.”可知，詹姆斯从中学到有些问题会随着时间自行结束。故选D。 C ①Everyone knows that Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too. ②The wine festival is actually a battle of the wine, held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only announced as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins (起源) could go back much further. In fact, it was way back in the early part of the 13th century. At that time, Haro had a land problem with its neighbor in a nearby area. One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the problem. That day the tradition started and got the name “War of Wine”. ③During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning on the places out of Haro. People are armed with buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the “fight”, because it is easily stained (染色). The “fight” will last for several hours until everyone’s shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks. ④Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the “fight”. 36. How long does the wine festival last each year? A. Two days. B. Three days. C. Several hours. D. Several days. 37. What can be inferred about Haro? A It’s a small town in the south of Spain. B. People in Haro are mostly unfriendly and impolite. C. Haro probably plays an important role in wine production in Spain. D. The Haro Wine Festival is the most important event in Spain. 38. The Haro Wine Festival can be described as ________. A. hot, short and worldwide B. wet, interesting and crazy C. exciting, new and important D. traditional, quiet and amazing 39. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To increase wine sales in Haro. B. To encourage readers to attend the Haro Wine Festival. C. To show there are a lot of fun festivals in Spain. D. To introduce Haro Wine Festival. 40. The structure of the passage may be ________. (①=Para.1 ②=Para.3 ④=Para.2 ③=Para.4...) A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了哈罗葡萄酒节的相关信息。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The wine festival is...held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro”可知，哈罗葡萄酒节会持续三天：每年的6月28日至30日。故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“...Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain.”可推测，哈罗可能在西班牙的葡萄酒生产中扮演着重要的角色。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers...The ‘fight’ will last for several hours until everyone’s shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.”可推知，哈罗葡萄酒节可以用潮湿、有趣和疯狂来形容，故选B。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了哈罗葡萄酒节的相关信息。故选D。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。根据第一段“You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too.”可知，第一段引出话题，为第一部分；第二、三段分别介绍了哈罗葡萄酒节的起源和哈罗葡萄酒节的活动，为第二部分；根据第四段“Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the ‘fight’.”可知，第四段是在总结全文。故选A。 D When babies are really young, they like to copy what their parents say. But at some point, they start becoming “creators”. So when does this change happen? According to a new study by scientists from the University of Chicago in the US, English-speaking children start making their own sentences at about 2.5 years old. To do this, kids need to first understand the rules of the language. For English, one important rule is that determiners (限定词), like “a” and “the”, go in front of nouns (名词). For 90 minutes every four months, the scientists recorded 64 English-speaking children talking with their parents. The scientists found that at around 30 months old, kids started using both “a” and “the” in front of the same noun, for example, “dog”. This showed that they understood the determiner-noun language pattern. What’s more, they were using the pattern to create more expressions their parents had never said. But the recordings cannot cover everything the kids hear and say each day. So, the scientists developed an AI model to double-check their findings. Like a human child, the model could find language patterns in the recordings and predict the words to come. “For the most part, it does what the kid does,” Susan Goldin-Meadow, one of the scientists, told Neuroscience News. The team then waited to see when the model produced its first new determiner-noun phrase (短语). The result agreed with the 30-month timeframe (表). The findings further scientists’ understanding of language learning. It can also help better teach kids with special needs, such as those learning sign language, wrote the scientists in their paper. 41. What does “creators” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Children who make their own decisions. B. Children who can understand a language. C. Children who copy their parents’ words. D. Children who make their own sentences. 42. How did scientists know that children create rather than copy sentences? A. By checking if they can read and write. B. By checking if they can make complete sentences. C. By seeing if they produce new determiner-noun phrases. D. By seeing if they understand most rules of the English language. 43. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How scientists prepared for the study. B. How scientists did the study and what results they got. C. What language patterns children prefer to use. D. What the determiner-noun language pattern is. 44. How did the AI model help in the study? A. It showed how children learn language rules. B. It explained why children use the determiner-noun pattern. C. It predicted when children start making their own sentences. D. It discovered how children can express themselves with a few words. 45. Why did scientists do the study? A. To study the timeframe of children’s growth. B. To look deeper into the process of language learning. C. To test the use of AI models in scientific studies. D. To help children better understand sign language. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了婴儿何时从模仿语言转向创造性使用语言。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When babies are really young, they like to copy what their parents say. But at some point, they start becoming ‘creators’.”和“English-speaking children start making their own sentences at about 2.5 years old.”可推知，婴儿在很小的时候喜欢模仿父母说话，大约到2.5岁时开始自己造句。由此推知，“creators”指能自己造句的孩子。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the scientists found that at around 30 months old, kids started using both ‘a’ and ‘the’ in front of the same noun... they were using the pattern to create more expressions their parents had never said.”可知，通过观察孩子是否产生新的限定词-名词短语来判断他们是否在创造句子。故选C。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段可知，第三段主要介绍了科学家如何进行研究（记录孩子与父母的对话）以及研究结果（孩子大约30个月大时开始创造新表达）。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Like a human child, the model could find language patterns in the recordings and predict the words to come....The team then waited to see when the model produced its first new determiner-noun phrase. The result agreed with the 30-month timeframe.”可知，AI模型帮助预测孩子何时开始自己造句。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The findings further scientists’ understanding of language learning.”可推知，科学家进行这项研究是为了更深入地探索语言学习的过程。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。 Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work? Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins (蛋白质) improves memory. ____46____ Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70% cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger. ____47____ A study showed that regular exercise actually increases brain size. Another study found that exercise improved memory in some older people. Surprisingly it found that one single training period had the same effect on memory as regular, long exercise period! One study found that eight weeks of short, daily meditation (默想) improved memory. Other ways to relax can also improve our short-term memory. Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music. ____48____ Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn, but sleep can help. ____49____ Another study found that students learned things better before and after a short sleep! ____50____ Try to memorize information like phone numbers and addresses rather than putting the information in your phone. You could also learn a language or do brain training like crosswords (填字游戏). A. Or even just take a shower! B. The role of exercise is really important too. C.

B In a village near a desert lived a successful businessman named James. Despite having a lot, he often felt unhappy due to the endless challenges. One day, a wise old man came to the village with 100 camels. It was said he could solve any problem. James went to see him and said, “I’m very unhappy with my life. I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please help me.” The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before he could go to sleep. The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. As we both know, some camels sat down on their own, while others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even if you tried hard to make them. If you had come back later, you would have seen that some of the camels, even though they didn’t sit at first, finally sat down on their own.” the old man said. James nodded. The old man continued, “Problems are just like camels—some problems get solved by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time. At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end.” James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life’s challenges. 31. What troubled James? A. He didn’t have enough to live a better life. B. He felt unhappy about endless problems. C. He didn’t like his wife or other family members. D. He didn’t know how to get away from business. 32. What did the old man ask James to do that night? A. Think about his question carefully. B. Watch the camels in case they were lost. C. Make all of the camels rest at the same time. D. Make sure the old man could sleep well. 33. How might James have felt that night? A. Excited. B. Annoyed. C. Scared. D. Bored. 34. What method did the old man use to teach James? A. Explaining the scientific reasons behind problems. B. Giving an example of common people’s lives. C. Comparing problems to camel sleeping. D. Showing the importance of working hard. 35. What did James learn from it? A. All problems can be solved with effort. B. Problems should be unnoticed until they disappear. C. Problems are like puzzles, endless and challenging. D. Some problems come to an end over time. C ①Everyone knows that Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too. ②The wine festival is actually a battle of the wine, held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only announced as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins (起源) could go back much further. In fact, it was way back in the early part of the 13th century. At that time, Haro had a land problem with its neighbor in a nearby area. One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the problem. That day the tradition started and got the name “War of Wine”. ③During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning on the places out of Haro. People are armed with buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the “fight”, because it is easily stained (染色). The “fight” will last for several hours until everyone’s shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks. ④Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the “fight”. 36. How long does the wine festival last each year? A. Two days. B. Three days. C. Several hours. D. Several days. 37. What can be inferred about Haro? A. It’s a small town in the south of Spain. B. People in Haro are mostly unfriendly and impolite. C. Haro probably plays an important role in wine production in Spain. D. The Haro Wine Festival is the most important event in Spain. 38. The Haro Wine Festival can be described as ________. A. hot, short and worldwide B. wet, interesting and crazy C. exciting, new and important D. traditional, quiet and amazing 39. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To increase wine sales in Haro. B. To encourage readers to attend the Haro Wine Festival. C. To show there are a lot of fun festivals in Spain. D. To introduce Haro Wine Festival. 40. The structure of the passage may be ________. (①=Para.1 ②=Para.3 ④=Para.2 ③=Para.4...) A. B. C. D. D When babies are really young, they like to copy what their parents say. But at some point, they start becoming “creators”. So when does this change happen? According to a new study by scientists from the University of Chicago in the US, English-speaking children start making their own sentences at about 2.5 years old. To do this, kids need to first understand the rules of the language. For English, one important rule is that determiners (限定词), like “a” and “the”, go in front of nouns (名词). For 90 minutes every four months, the scientists recorded 64 English-speaking children talking with their parents. The scientists found that at around 30 months old, kids started using both “a” and “the” in front of the same noun, for example, “dog”. This showed that they understood the determiner-noun language pattern. What’s more, they were using the pattern to create more expressions their parents had never said. But the recordings cannot cover everything the kids hear and say each day. So, the scientists developed an AI model to double-check their findings. Like a human child, the model could find language patterns in the recordings and predict the words to come. “For the most part, it does what the kid does,” Susan Goldin-Meadow, one of the scientists, told Neuroscience News. The team then waited to see when the model produced its first new determiner-noun phrase (短语). The result agreed with the 30-month timeframe (表). The findings further scientists’ understanding of language learning. It can also help better teach kids with special needs, such as those learning sign language, wrote the scientists in their paper. 41. What does “creators” mean in Paragraph 1? A.
