Suddenly, I heard the bell ringing very loudly. “Wake up, Beauty!” John said. “We must go quickly now.” He put the saddle (马鞍) on me and took me to the front door of the house. Mr Gordon was waiting for us at the front door with a letter in his hand, “John, my wife is very ill. Send this letter to Doctor White quickly, and then let Beauty have a rest there and come back as soon as you can.” John and I went through the park and the village and down the hill. I ran as fast as I could. Hours later, we stopped by Doctor White’s house. John rang the bell twice and then knocked on the door hard. Finally, Dr White opened the window and asked, “What do you want?” “Mrs Gordon is very ill, sir. My master wants you to go at once. He thinks she will die without a doctor’s care. Here’s his letter,” John answered. The doctor said, “I’ll go, but my horse worked the whole day and is exhausted. Can I ride yours?” “Mr Gordon told me to rest Beauty. But if there’s no choice (选择), you can ride Beauty,” John said. John patted (轻拍) me and I knew he felt sorry for me. Then Doctor White and I started the journey back. Doctor White was heavier and he wasn’t a good rider. However, I did my best. Mr Gordon and Joe were waiting at the door. Doctor White went into the house with Mr Gordon and Joe took me to the stable. My legs were shaking and there was not a dry hair on my body. Joe was young and knew very little. He did the best he could, cleaning my body, but he did not put a piece of cloth on me. He thought I was so hot that I would not like it. He gave me some cold water to drink. Then he gave me some food and went away. Soon I began to shake, and my legs hurt so much that I knew I was ill. I wished John was there but he was still on his way home. —Adapted from Black Beauty 31. Who was ill at the beginning of the story? A. John. B. Joe. C. Mrs Gordon. D. Doctor White. 32.

Can I ride yours?’”可知，医生说自己的马工作了一整天，所以很“exhausted”，由此可推测“exhausted”意思是“疲惫的”。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mr Gordon told me to rest Beauty. But if there’s no choice (选择), you can ride Beauty”和“John patted (轻拍) me and I knew he felt sorry for me”可知，约翰感到抱歉是因为他不得不让黑骏马继续工作太久。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mr Gordon was waiting for us at the front door with a letter in his hand, ‘John, my wife is very ill. Send this letter to Doctor White quickly, and then let Beauty have a rest there and come back as soon as you can.’”可知，戈登先生让黑骏马送完信后休息一下，说明这家人对黑骏马很好。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I wished John was there but he was still on his way home.”可知，约翰还在回家的路上，结合前文可知黑骏马生病了，所以接下来可能会写黑骏马在约翰的照顾下如何康复。故选D。 C Today, more and more people start to care about their health and want to get in shape. If we get in shape, we will feel much more confident (自信的) than before. However, getting in shape is far more than exercising. There is always a lot to do, like eating the right food, doing the right exercise and keeping yourself happy. The first thing that we need to do is to reduce calories (卡路里). The calories of each meal should not be higher than 400. And it’s better for us to have three meals a day. We need to wait for at least three hours between meals. Fresh vegetables, fruits, egg whites, fish and chicken can provide you with the right nutrients (营养) and help you get in shape at the same time. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water can help in reducing fat. If you drink ice-cold water, then it will burn some more calories from your body. This is because when you are drinking cold water, your body needs to warm the water up to your body temperature. During this process, about one calorie of fat gets burned from the body. Many people keep themselves away from strength training when they are trying to lose some weight. They think that strength training will increase (增加) their body weight. However, this is not true. Be careful not to over-exercise in order to lose weight fast. Too much exercise may cause problems. You can get a healthy body only if your mind is away from stress (压力). Scientists find that stress can lead to many health problems such as headaches. So special efforts (努力) are needed to relax our minds. 36. According to Paragraph 1, if we get in shape, we will _________. A. feel more confident B. be more beautiful C. change our life D. eat more food 37. How many meals is it better for us to have every day? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 38. What does the underlined word “This” refer (指) to? A. Cold water burning more calories. B. Drinking a glass of water before a meal. C. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. D. Warming the cold water up to the body temperature. 39. Which of the following does the writer agree? A. Strength training may make people get fat. B We should drink cold water instead of hot water. C. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be. D. Reducing stress plays a key role in keeping healthy. 40. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Importance of getting in shape B. Tips for getting in shape C. Suggestions on healthy daily habits D. Reasons for losing weight 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了保持健康的几种方法，包括控制饮食、多喝水、力量训练和减轻压力等。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If we get in shape, we will feel much more confident than before.”可知，保持健康会让我们更自信。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“it’s better for us to have three meals a day”可知，每天最好吃三餐。故选C。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“If you drink ice-cold water, then it will burn some more calories from your body. This is because...”可知，“This”指代喝冰水燃烧更多卡路里这一现象。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You can get a healthy body only if your mind is away from stress.”可知，作者认为减轻压力对健康至关重要。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了保持健康的几点建议。故选B。 （二） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you are happy, there’s a smile on your face.

Chinese people often enjoy the moon and eat _________ at the Mid-Autumn Festival. 【答案】46. unhappy 47. fall behind 48. as tall as 49. plenty of 50. mooncakes 【解析】 【46题详解】 句意：当你感到不开心时，你可以听音乐。根据“You can listen to music”可知，听音乐通常是为了调节情绪，所以是感到“不开心”的时候。unhappy是形容词，意为“不高兴的”，在句中作表语。故填unhappy。 【47题详解】 句意：如果你不努力，你可能会落后于别人。根据“If you don’t work hard”可知，不努力可能会导致“落后”。fall behind意为“落后”，情态动词may后接动词原形。故填fall behind。 【48题详解】 句意：我的弟弟只有十岁，但他和我一样高。根据“My little brother is only ten years old, but he is...me”可知，此处表示比较，弟弟虽然年纪小，但身高“和……一样高”。as tall as是固定短语，意为“和……一样高”。故填as tall as。 【49题详解】 句意：这只老鼠每年冬天都会收集大量的食物，并把它们储存在一个洞里。根据“collects...food and saves it in a hole”可知，老鼠收集“大量的”食物过冬。plenty of意为“大量的”，后接不可数名词或可数名词复数。故填plenty of。 【50题详解】 句意：中国人经常在中秋节赏月吃月饼。根据“at the Mid-Autumn Festival”可知，中秋节的传统食物是“月饼”。mooncake是名词，意为“月饼”，通常以复数形式出现。故填mooncakes。 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Stone painting (石头画) is a traditional Chinese art form.

It is about 5.5 million square kilometers—making it the largest rainforest on the earth. The Amazon Rainforest is really important for the earth and living things. First of all, it’s like an “oxygen factory”—giving us fresh air to breathe, and much of the clean air we take in every day comes from it. Second, it’s home to more than half of the world’s plants and animals. The Amazon Rainforest provides them with food to eat and place to live. Also, it can balance the temperature so that the weather won’t be too hot or too cold. Sadly, the Amazon Rainforest is now facing some problems. One problem is that people are cutting down trees to have space for new farms and houses. Another trouble is pollution (污染). Rubbish from nearby towns and small factories makes many plants and animals sick. The biggest problem of all is the fires. Some fires start because of lightning (闪电) and others may be caused by people. All these problems are making the rainforest get smaller and putting its animals and plants in great danger. How can humans solve the problems? Here are some ideas which can be helpful. For example, the government can check for the possible danger regularly (定期地). Also, it can let more people be aware of the importance of the rainforest. However, the future of the Amazon Rainforest doesn’t only depend on ideas. 61.

B （“I” am a horse named Black Beauty in the novel.） At midnight, I was sleeping in the stable (马厩). Suddenly, I heard the bell ringing very loudly. “Wake up, Beauty!” John said. “We must go quickly now.” He put the saddle (马鞍) on me and took me to the front door of the house. Mr Gordon was waiting for us at the front door with a letter in his hand, “John, my wife is very ill. Send this letter to Doctor White quickly, and then let Beauty have a rest there and come back as soon as you can.” John and I went through the park and the village and down the hill. I ran as fast as I could. Hours later, we stopped by Doctor White’s house. John rang the bell twice and then knocked on the door hard. Finally, Dr White opened the window and asked, “What do you want?” “Mrs Gordon is very ill, sir. My master wants you to go at once. He thinks she will die without a doctor’s care. Here’s his letter,” John answered. The doctor said, “I’ll go, but my horse worked the whole day and is exhausted. Can I ride yours?” “Mr Gordon told me to rest Beauty. But if there’s no choice (选择), you can ride Beauty,” John said. John patted (轻拍) me and I knew he felt sorry for me. Then Doctor White and I started the journey back. Doctor White was heavier and he wasn’t a good rider. However, I did my best. Mr Gordon and Joe were waiting at the door. Doctor White went into the house with Mr Gordon and Joe took me to the stable. My legs were shaking and there was not a dry hair on my body. Joe was young and knew very little. He did the best he could, cleaning my body, but he did not put a piece of cloth on me. He thought I was so hot that I would not like it. He gave me some cold water to drink. Then he gave me some food and went away. Soon I began to shake, and my legs hurt so much that I knew I was ill. I wished John was there but he was still on his way home. —Adapted from Black Beauty 31. Who was ill at the beginning of the story? A. John. B. Joe. C. Mrs Gordon. D. Doctor White. 32.

If we get in shape, we will feel much more confident (自信的) than before. However, getting in shape is far more than exercising. There is always a lot to do, like eating the right food, doing the right exercise and keeping yourself happy. The first thing that we need to do is to reduce calories (卡路里). The calories of each meal should not be higher than 400. And it’s better for us to have three meals a day. We need to wait for at least three hours between meals. Fresh vegetables, fruits, egg whites, fish and chicken can provide you with the right nutrients (营养) and help you get in shape at the same time. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water can help in reducing fat. If you drink ice-cold water, then it will burn some more calories from your body. This is because when you are drinking cold water, your body needs to warm the water up to your body temperature. During this process, about one calorie of fat gets burned from the body. Many people keep themselves away from strength training when they are trying to lose some weight. They think that strength training will increase (增加) their body weight. However, this is not true. Be careful not to over-exercise in order to lose weight fast. Too much exercise may cause problems. You can get a healthy body only if your mind is away from stress (压力). Scientists find that stress can lead to many health problems such as headaches. So special efforts (努力) are needed to relax our minds. 36. According to Paragraph 1 if we get in shape, we will _________. A. feel more confident B. be more beautiful C. change our life D. eat more food 37. How many meals is it better for us to have every day? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 38. What does the underlined word “This” refer (指) to? A. Cold water burning more calories. B. Drinking a glass of water before a meal. C. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. D. Warming the cold water up to the body temperature. 39. Which of the following does the writer agree? A Strength training may make people get fat. B. We should drink cold water instead of hot water. C. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be. D. Reducing stress plays a key role in keeping healthy. 40. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Importance of getting in shape B. Tips for getting in shape C. Suggestions on healthy daily habits D. Reasons for losing weight （二） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you are happy, there’s a smile on your face. For example, you may smile when getting a birthday present. ___41___ Do you know that smiling is good for us? Smiles make people look beautiful. Many people try to look good by exercising or wearing nice clothes. ___42___ Nothing else is more charming (迷人的). And staying with people with a smile is really comfortable. Smiles can help people become confident. ___43___ If you are afraid of them, things may get worse. If you wear a smile instead, you may find a way to solve them. Slowly, you start to be sure of your abilities. ___44___ Sometimes, people around you may feel sad and you find it hard to make them happier. Smiles are so powerful that they can spread quickly from one person to another. So when you meet someone who is sad, why not share a smile? ___45___ Since it has so many advantages, let’s put it on right now! A. Smiles can cheer people up. B. You may also smile when listening to a funny joke. C. People meet different kinds of problems in daily life. D. However, a smile is the best thing people should wear. E. But wearing nice clothes doesn’t always make you look beautiful. F. Smiling is good not only for ourselves but also for people around us. 五、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据句意，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空，每个单词或短语只能用一次。 mooncakes unhappy, fall behind, plenty of, as tall as 46.
