Tom asked our math teacher, Mr Green, about the answer to a math problem. He thought it was 512. But Mr Green said it was 64. Later that day, Tom asked friends, classmates, and other math teachers. Was it 64 or 512? One of the math teachers they asked was Mr Smith, our math teacher last year. He said it was 512. Then the fun began. The next day, in Mr Green’s class, Tom told him Mr Smith’s answer. Mr Green didn’t change his mind. As soon as the class was over, Tom went to Mr Smith’s office. A few minutes later, Tom returned with Mr Smith and four students from another class. And the classroom became an interesting place. Everyone was excited, waiting for a long, heated discussion between the two teachers. We weren’t disappointed. Right then and there, Mr Smith and Mr Green began their argument (争论). They tried to show their answers on the blackboard. They used some math words and expressions I had never heard of, but at one point, the vocabulary turned simple. “No, …” Mr Smith said. “Yes, …” Mr Green answered. “No, …” Mr Smith said again. “Yes, …” Mr Green repeated. … At first, we were on our seats listening carefully, trying to follow their ideas. Later, Tom and some other students began to stand together around them. As time passed by, students showed their support for different teachers and became two teams. Everyone worked so hard, just for the answer to a single math problem. That’s the power of maths! When the school bell rang, the problem was still not solved. “Why not ask all the math teachers at school to join us and have a meeting for it?” Mr. Smith said. “How about lunch time? …” Mr. Green replied. “Great! …” All the students shouted … 31.

B Nabil Ali made some special ink (墨水) from a special tree known as Newton’s Apple Tree. This tree was a scion (幼枝) of the apple tree which was said to give Newton the idea to develop the theory of gravity (万有引力). It was planted at Cambridge University Botanic Garden in 1954. And the tree caught a lot of visitors’ attention. Unluckily, the tree was blown down during a storm in February 2022. After it fell, the university waited for good ideas on what to do with the wood. A year later, Nabil Ali made ink from the tree. Ali said, “I thought I would find black ink but the ink is dark golden yellow. I’m calling the color ‘Newton’s Gold’.” Ali used the ink to create an artwork with 68 apples to show the age of the tree before it fell. “As far as I know, this is the first time that anyone has used the hidden colors of a scion of Newton’s inspiring (启发灵感的) tree to make art,” Ali said. The artwork, called The Tree That Once Was, was on show for the first time at Apple Day at Cambridge University Botanic Garden on October 22, 2023. A lot of people went to see it. From a fallen tree to a special artwork, the journey of this tree shows the power of creativity. Through the show, Ali hopes that his artwork will encourage people to find out more about their own talents. 35. Why does the writer mention Newton? A. To advise readers to learn from him. B. To explain how special the apple tree is. C. To tell readers more information about him. D. To show how he inspired Ali to make the ink. 36. Which paragraph tells the history of the special apple tree? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 37. What can we know from the passage? A. Newton’s Gold refers to the color of the special ink. B. Many people have used the ink to make their artworks. C. Ali hopes more people will join him to protect the tree. D. The apple tree stood at Cambridge University for 78 years. 38. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Newton’s Gold. B. Botanic Garden. C. The Tree That Once Was. D. Cambridge University. C Everyone knows magic tricks are fun, but not enough people realize that math can be as well. Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be. Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法). Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone. Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (数位). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits cannot be the same. For example, he could pick 481. Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184. After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184=297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning. Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792. Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297=1089. Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier. In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake. 39. To play the trick, how many steps should you follow? A. 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8. 40. If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do? A. Go on with the other steps. B. Change the number into 099. C Tell others the number he got. D. Choose another number to start again. 41 What does the underlined part “reverse this number” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. Get the number subtracted. B. Turn the number upside down. C. Write down the number backwards. D. Change the order of the number as you like. 42. What can we learn about the trick from the passage? A. It is the most popular trick. B. The numbers should be reversed twice. C. The final number can’t always be 1089. D. The trick is friendly to people bad at subtraction.

Would you like ________ to drink? It’s so hot today. A. cold something B. something cold C. cold anything D. anything cold 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：你想喝点冷饮吗？今天太热了。 考查复合不定代词和形容词后置。anything任何事物，常用于否定句或疑问句中；something一些事，常用于肯定句或希望得到肯定回答的疑问句中。根据“Would you like … to drink?”可知，此处是礼貌询问请求，问话者希望得到肯定回答，应用something。cold“冷的”为形容词，修饰复合不定代词时应置于复合不定代词之后。故选B。 2. Is ________ here in the classroom? Great! Let’s start the class today. A. everybody B. nobody C. somebody D. anybody 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：教室里的每个人都在这儿吗？太棒了！我们今天开始上课吧。 考查不定代词辨析。everybody每个人；nobody没有人；somebody某人；anybody任何人。根据“Great! Let’s start the class today.”可知，此处询问教室里的每个人是否都在，所以应该用everybody。故选A。 3. —The Yangtze River is the ________ longest river in the world. —Yes, only after the Nile River and the Amazon River. A. three B. third C. four D. fourth 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——长江是世界上第三长的河流。——是的，仅在尼罗河和亚马逊河之后。 考查序数词辨析。three三，基数词；third第三，序数词；four四，基数词；fourth第四，序数词。根据“only after the Nile River and the Amazon River”可知，长江是世界第三长河，这里需要表示顺序的序数词，third符合语境，说明长江的长度排名。故选B。 4. —Is this your ________ visit to China, Tina? —No, I have been here for ________ times. A. one, three B. one, third C. first, three D. first, third 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——蒂娜，这是你第一次来中国吗？——不，我已经来过三次了。 考查数词用法。one一；first第一；three三；third第三。根据“—Is this your...visit to China, Tina? —No, I have been here for...times.”可知，第一个空表示顺序，需用序数词first；第二个空表示次数，需用基数词three。故选C。 5. —Can you read the number  correctly? —Yes, I can read it as ________. A. three five B. five three C. third fifth D. three fifths 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能正确读出分数“五分之三”吗？——是的，我可以读作“五分之三”。 考查分数的读法。英语中分数的读法是“分子用基数词，分母用序数词，分子大于1时分母加s”，“五分之三”应读作“three fifths”。 故选D。 6. Monday is always full of classes and activities. For me, Monday is ________ of the week. A. busier B. the busier C. busiest D. the busiest 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——星期一总是充满了课程和活动。对我来说，星期一是一周中最忙碌的一天。 考查形容词最高级的用法。根据“of the week”可知是在三者以上比较，需用最高级，表示“最……”，最高级前面需加定冠词the。故选D。 7.

A. popularer B. more popular C. the most popular D. popular 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在欧洲，土豆比大米更受欢迎。你可以在大多数餐馆找到土豆。 考查形容词比较级。根据“than”可知用形容词比较级，popular的比较级是more popular。故选B。 8. —Why are there ________ birds in the sky and less clean water in the river? —Because of the pollution. A. much B. more C. few D. fewer 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么天空中的鸟更少了，河里的干净水也更少了？——因为污染。 考查形容词比较级辨析。much许多，修饰不可数名词；more更多的，比较级；few少的，修饰可数名词复数；fewer更少的，比较级。根据“and less clean water”中的less是比较级可知，此处需用对应比较级，且birds是可数名词复数，fewer符合语境，说明鸟的数量因污染减少。故选D。 9. Simon is a ________ boy who is interested in playing the guitar. A. 13-year-old B. 13-years-old C. 13 year old D. 13 years old 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：西蒙是一个对弹吉他感兴趣的13岁男孩。 考查复合形容词。13-year-old十三岁的，复合形容词，作定语修饰名词；13-years-old错误表达；13 year old错误表达；13 years old十三岁，通常作表语。根据“a…boy”可知，此处需要一个复合形容词作定语修饰名词boy，所以用13-year-old。故选A。 10. Some dinosaurs are as big as chickens and ________ are as big as ten elephants. A. another B. other C. others D. the other 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：有些恐龙和鸡一样大，有些和十头大象一样大。 考查代词辨析。another三者或三者以上的另一个；other其他的，形容词，后接名词；others其他的人或物，代词，相当于“other+名词”；the other两者中的另一个。根据“Some dinosaurs are as big as chickens and...are as big as ten elephants.”可知，此处是“Some...others...”结构，意为“一些……另一些……”，此处用others，相当于other dinosaurs。故选C。 四、语法选择 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) A long time ago, there lived a king.

Tom asked our math teacher, Mr Green, about the answer to a math problem. He thought it was 512. But Mr Green said it was 64. Later that day, Tom asked friends, classmates, and other math teachers. Was it 64 or 512? One of the math teachers they asked was Mr Smith, our math teacher last year. He said it was 512. Then the fun began. The next day, in Mr Green’s class, Tom told him Mr Smith’s answer. Mr Green didn’t change his mind. As soon as the class was over, Tom went to Mr Smith’s office. A few minutes later, Tom returned with Mr Smith and four students from another class. And the classroom became an interesting place. Everyone was excited, waiting for a long, heated discussion between the two teachers. We weren’t disappointed. Right then and there, Mr Smith and Mr Green began their argument (争论). They tried to show their answers on the blackboard. They used some math words and expressions I had never heard of, but at one point, the vocabulary turned simple. “No, …” Mr Smith said. “Yes, …” Mr Green answered. “No, …” Mr Smith said again. “Yes, …” Mr Green repeated. … At first, we were on our seats listening carefully, trying to follow their ideas. Later, Tom and some other students began to stand together around them. As time passed by, students showed their support for different teachers and became two teams. Everyone worked so hard, just for the answer to a single math problem. That’s the power of maths! When the school bell rang, the problem was still not solved. “Why not ask all the math teachers at school to join us and have a meeting for it?” Mr. Smith said. “How about lunch time? …” Mr. Green replied. “Great! …” All the students shouted … 31.

Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be. Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法). Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone. Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (数位). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits cannot be the same. For example, he could pick 481. Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184. After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184=297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning. Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792. Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297=1089. Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier. In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake. 39. To play the trick, how many steps should you follow? A 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8. 40. If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do? A. Go on with the other steps. B. Change the number into 099. C. Tell others the number he got. D. Choose another number to start again. 41. What does the underlined part “reverse this number” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. Get the number subtracted. B. Turn the number upside down. C. Write down the number backwards. D. Change the order of the number as you like. 42. What can we learn about the trick from the passage? A. It is the most popular trick. B. The numbers should be reversed twice. C. The final number can’t always be 1089. D. The trick is friendly to people bad at subtraction. 【答案】39. D 40. B 41. C 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一个神奇的数学魔术，通过一系列的数学操作，最终总能得到数字1089。文章详细描述了魔术的步骤，并解释了如果结果不是1089，则可能是操作不当或计算错误。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中的步骤“ Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills...Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone...Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number...Next, let your friend write down the number backwards...After that, make it into a subtraction problem....Next step,  reverse this number as well... Here comes the most exciting part...Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down”可知，首先选一个数学好的朋友；然后写下1089；接着让朋友选一个三位数；再让朋友把这个数倒过来写；之后进行减法运算；如果结果只有两位数，在前面加0；接着把这个结果再倒过来；最后把最后两个数相加。一共是8个步骤，故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning.”可知，如果减法结果只有两位数，需要在前面加一个0。所以如果朋友得到“99”，他需要把它变成“099”，故选B。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again.”可知，“reverse this number”指的是把数字的顺序再次倒过来，即“把数字倒着写”，故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“write down the number backwards”和“reverse the digits order again”可知，魔术中数字需要被倒写两次。因此，选项B“数字需要被倒过来两次”是正确的。故选B。 D Pecan (山核桃) Pickin’ Month Whether you say it puh-CON or PEA-can, make sure not to miss out on Pecan Pickin’ Month at Historic Oak View County Park.
