Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friends. To Wang Lun (By Li Bai) I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go, When suddenly on shore footsteps and songs overflow (溢出). The Lake of Peach Blossoms (桃花) is a thousand fathoms deep. But not so deep as Wang Lun’s love for me. A Time to Talk (By Robert Frost) When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed (锄地), And shout from where I am, “What is it?” No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust (猛推) my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end (锋刃端) up and five feet tall, And plod (蹒跚): I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison (比较). His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, however, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 39. What was Li Bai doing when his friend Wang Lun came over to see him off? A. He was leaving by ship. B. He was singing a song. C. He was waiting for his friend. D. He was enjoying the peach blossoms. 40 Why did “I” thrust my hoe in the ground in Frost’s poem? A. To feed the horse. B. To meet my friend. C. To hoe the hills. D. To take a walk. 41. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The writers of the poems. B. The analysis of two poems. C. The popularity of the poems. D. The background of the poems. 42. Which saying has the same meaning as these two poems? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. A friend to all is a friend to none. C. Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing. D. There’s just one sure delight (乐事), friendship, like sunrise, warm and bright. 【答案】39. A 40. B 41. B 42. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了两首关于友谊的诗歌。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go”可知，说明李白正要乘船离开。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I thrust my hoe… And plod: I go up to the stone wall for a friendly visit”可知，我把锄头插入土地，蹒跚走向石墙进行友好拜访。说明“我”放下农具是为了与朋友交谈。故选B。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。最后一段对比两首诗：李白用比喻表达情谊，弗罗斯特强调应暂停事务陪伴朋友。整段聚焦对两首诗内容和主题的分析。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。两首诗共同表达友情珍贵美好：在李白的诗中，王伦的深情比千尺桃花潭更深。弗罗斯特的诗中描述了诗人放下农活陪伴朋友，强调友情优先。选项D“只有一件事是确定的快乐，那就是友谊，就像日出一样，温暖而明亮”契合两诗对友情的赞美。故选D。 C In our modern world, it seems that everyone is very busy all the time. Parents are often working very hard at their jobs, and children are usually busy with a lot of homework and many after-school activities. Because of this busy lifestyle, many families are spending less and less quality time together. However, I strongly believe that spending regular time with one’s family is very important for many different reasons. First of all, spending time together as a family helps to build strong and healthy relationships. When families eat dinner together, talk about their daily experiences, or play games, they communicate more and understand each other much better. This kind of interaction (互动) creates a loving and supportive environment at home so that family members are always ready to help each other. For children, knowing that their parents are always there for them provides a deep sense of safety and happiness, which is necessary for their growth. Second, your family is there to help you through hard times. When you face difficulties, such as problems at school or with friends, your family can offer good advice and help you find solutions. Sharing your worries with people who truly care about you can make you feel supported and less alone. Of course, finding free time can be hard for busy families. But it is important to remember that family time does not have to be a long or complicated activity. Even a short walk together in the park or helping to prepare a meal at home can be very valuable. The most important thing is to put away distractions like mobile phones and really focus on being with each other. 43. How does the writer lead into the topic in the first paragraph? A. By telling an interesting story of his family. B. By talking about a problem people have today. C. By asking readers about their own family life. D. By showing what is good for family time. 44. What is the writer’s advice for families? A. They should have long holidays together. B. Parents should stop working to be with children. C. Children should do more after-school activities. D. They should put away phones during family time. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Why family time is important. B. How to have after-school activities. C. Why parents are always busy. D. How to use mobile phones less. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者针对现代家庭因忙碌缺乏高质量陪伴的问题，论述家庭时间对建立关系、共渡难关的重要性，建议放下干扰专注陪伴。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Because of this busy lifestyle, many families are spending less and less quality time together. However, I strongly believe that spending regular time with one’s family is very important...”可知，作者通过谈论现代人忙碌导致家庭高质量陪伴减少的问题引出主题，故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The most important thing is to put away distractions like mobile phones and really focus on being with each other.”可知，作者建议在家庭时间里放下手机，故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。本文从“建立健康家庭关系”，“帮助度过困难时期”两方面阐述家庭时间的重要性，并给出陪伴建议，核心是“为什么家庭时间很重要”，故选A。 D Have you ever looked at your cat and thought, “Do you know who I am?” Scientists in Japan wanted to see if cats know what their owners smell like. Scientists in Tokyo worked with thirty house cats. They put three plastic tubes (塑料软管) in front of each cat. Inside the first tube was a stick (棍) with the owner’s scent (气味). Inside the second tube was a stick with the scent of a stranger. The last tube held a clean stick with no scent at all. The cats were free to smell each tube. Most cats spent more time smelling the stick with the stranger’s scent than the other two sticks. This shows this: The cats knew that the smell was new, and not from anyone familiar. Cats often use smell and scents to know and communicate with other cats. And in earlier studies, baby cats also smelt strange mother cats longer than they smelt their own mothers. So cats notice what’s new, and take their time finding it out. After smelling the sticks, some cats rubbed (摩擦) their faces on the tubes. This is a marking action, and means the cats were marking the tubes with their own scent. So what does this tell us? _______ However, the researchers say they still don’t know if cats can know people just by smell. For now, your cat might not know it’s you by your smell alone—but they do know you’re not a stranger! 46. Why did the cats spend more time on the stick with a stranger’s scent? A. They thought there was much food. B. The stranger’s scent was similar to their owners’. C. They noticed the smell was new and wanted to learn more about it. D. There was something wrong with their noses after they smelt the other sticks. 47. Which of the following can we put back into the blank “_____”? A. Cats have no ability to know different smells at all. B. Cats can know people quickly by using only one sense. C. Cats are only interested in the smell of their owners. D. Cats can tell the difference between familiar and unfamiliar smells. 48. What can we infer from the text? A. The cats spent the least time smelling the clean stick. B. The scientists may do more studies on cats in the future. C. The smell of the stranger made the cats feel afraid and run away. D. The clean stick was used to show cats have a good sense of smell. 49. In which part of a newspaper can we find the text? A. Sports&Health. B. People&Health. C. Food&Culture. D. Science&Nature. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普类说明文。主要讲述了日本科学家通过实验研究猫是否能通过气味识别主人和陌生人。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most cats spent more time smelling the stick with the stranger’s scent than the other two sticks. This shows this: The cats knew that the smell was new, and not from anyone familiar.”可知，猫之所以花更多时间闻陌生人的气味，是因为它们注意到这个气味是新的，并想进一步了解它。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Cats often use smell and scents to know and communicate with other cats…So cats notice what’s new, and take their time finding it out.”和“they do know you’re not a stranger!”可知，此处与猫能通过气味区分陌生人和熟悉的人有关。选项D“猫能区分熟悉和不熟悉的气味”符合语境。故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, the researchers say they still don’t know if cats can know people just by smell.”可知，由于还不知道猫是否可以通过气味来认识人，所以科学家将来可能会对猫做更多的研究。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主题为科学实验，研究猫的嗅觉能力，属于自然科学范畴，应出现在“科学与自然”版块。故选D。 B Plants give us food, clothes and oxygen (氧气). There are over 335,000 kinds of plants in the world. Many plants have six parts. In fact, all living things have life cycles (周期). During the growth of plants, each part has its own job to do. Let’s learn together. A plant’s life cycle begins with seeds. Seeds come in many shapes and sizes. When seeds are in the earth, they will grow into plants over time. The roots of a plant usually grow underground. They take in nutrients (养分) and absorb (吸收) water from the earth. The stem grows up from the roots and helps the plant to stand. It stores nutrients and transports (传送) water to other parts of the plant. Leaves grow out of the stem. The leaves collect sunlight and CO₂ during the day, and these things are converted (转化) into sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). Many flowers are colourful. They help the plant to make seeds. Some plants grow fruits that have seeds in them, such as apples and corn. These are all fruits of plants. 50. What do plants bring us according to the text? ①Food. ② Clothes. ③Money. ④Oxygen. ⑤Sunlight. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ②④⑤ 51. What does a plant’s life cycle begin with? A. B. C. D. 52. What is the main job of leaves? A. They carry out photosynthesis. B. They transport water to other parts of plants. C. They make seeds for plants. D. They grow fruits for people to eat. 【答案】50. C 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了植物的作用、种类及生命周期，详解根、茎、叶、花、果等部分的功能，展现植物生长的奥秘。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Plants give us food, clothes and oxygen.”可知，植物带给我们食物、衣服和氧气，对应①②④，故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A plant’s life cycle begins with seeds.”可知，植物的生命周期从种子开始，故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The leaves collect sunlight and CO₂ during the day, and these things are converted into sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis.”可知，叶子的主要工作是进行光合作用，故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）. F In 1640, a man was seriously ill. He had to end the last trip of his life. Back home, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you regret (遗憾) it?” “I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied. “People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake. He was the greatest traveller (旅行家) in Chinese history. From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains. But at the time, it was very difficult to travel far. However, this didn’t stop him. At 22, he set out on his life’s journey. He travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream. Xu made many geographical discoveries during his journey. Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak was higher than Lianhua Peak. To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He discovered that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right! Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary. This later became Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago. “Exploring the unexplored” is the best description of Xu’s life. 53. What was Xu Xiake’s dream? (不超过10个单词) ________________________________ 54. How long did Xu Xiake travel? (不超过8个单词) ________________________________ 55. What do you think of Xu Xiake? And why? (不超过30个单词) ________________________________ 【答案】53. To visit China’s seas and mountains. 54. He travelled for about 30 years. 55. He was great. Because he achieved his travel dream and made geographical discoveries. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国历史上最伟大的旅行家徐霞客，讲述了他的旅行经历、成就及著作。 【53题详解】 根据“From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains.”可知，徐霞客的梦想是游览中国的山川湖海，故填To visit China’s seas and mountains. 【54题详解】 根据“He travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream.”可知，徐霞客旅行了大约30年，故填He travelled for about 30 years. 【55题详解】 开放性问题，答案不唯一。参考答案He was great. Because he achieved his travel dream and made geographical discoveries. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分 25 分） IX. 单词拼写 (共 5 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 5 分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friends. To Wang Lun (By Li Bai) I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go, When suddenly on shore footsteps and songs overflow (溢出). The Lake of Peach Blossoms (桃花) is a thousand fathoms deep. But not so deep as Wang Lun’s love for me. A Time to Talk (By Robert Frost) When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed (锄地), And shout from where I am, “What is it?” No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust (猛推) my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end (锋刃端) up and five feet tall, And plod (蹒跚): I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison (比较). His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, however, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 39. What was Li Bai doing when his friend Wang Lun came over to see him off? A. He was leaving by ship. B. He was singing a song. C. He was waiting for his friend. D. He was enjoying the peach blossoms. 40. Why did “I” thrust my hoe in the ground in Frost’s poem? A. To feed the horse. B. To meet my friend. C. To hoe the hills. D. To take a walk. 41. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The writers of the poems. B. The analysis of two poems. C. The popularity of the poems. D. The background of the poems. 42. Which saying has the same meaning as these two poems? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. A friend to all is a friend to none. C. Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing. D. There’s just one sure delight (乐事) friendship, like sunrise, warm and bright. C In our modern world, it seems that everyone is very busy all the time. Parents are often working very hard at their jobs, and children are usually busy with a lot of homework and many after-school activities. Because of this busy lifestyle, many families are spending less and less quality time together. However, I strongly believe that spending regular time with one’s family is very important for many different reasons. First of all, spending time together as a family helps to build strong and healthy relationships. When families eat dinner together, talk about their daily experiences, or play games, they communicate more and understand each other much better. This kind of interaction (互动) creates a loving and supportive environment at home so that family members are always ready to help each other. For children, knowing that their parents are always there for them provides a deep sense of safety and happiness, which is necessary for their growth. Second, your family is there to help you through hard times. When you face difficulties, such as problems at school or with friends, your family can offer good advice and help you find solutions. Sharing your worries with people who truly care about you can make you feel supported and less alone. Of course, finding free time can be hard for busy families. But it is important to remember that family time does not have to be a long or complicated activity. Even a short walk together in the park or helping to prepare a meal at home can be very valuable. The most important thing is to put away distractions like mobile phones and really focus on being with each other. 43. How does the writer lead into the topic in the first paragraph? A By telling an interesting story of his family. B. By talking about a problem people have today. C. By asking readers about their own family life. D. By showing what is good for family time. 44. What is the writer’s advice for families? A. They should have long holidays together. B. Parents should stop working to be with children. C. Children should do more after-school activities. D. They should put away phones during family time. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Why family time is important. B. How to have after-school activities. C. Why parents are always busy. D. How to use mobile phones less. D Have you ever looked at your cat and thought, “Do you know who I am?” Scientists in Japan wanted to see if cats know what their owners smell like. Scientists in Tokyo worked with thirty house cats. They put three plastic tubes (塑料软管) in front of each cat. Inside the first tube was a stick (棍) with the owner’s scent (气味). Inside the second tube was a stick with the scent of a stranger. The last tube held a clean stick with no scent at all. The cats were free to smell each tube. Most cats spent more time smelling the stick with the stranger’s scent than the other two sticks. This shows this: The cats knew that the smell was new, and not from anyone familiar. Cats often use smell and scents to know and communicate with other cats. And in earlier studies, baby cats also smelt strange mother cats longer than they smelt their own mothers. So cats notice what’s new, and take their time finding it out. After smelling the sticks, some cats rubbed (摩擦) their faces on the tubes. This is a marking action, and means the cats were marking the tubes with their own scent. So what does this tell us? _______ However, the researchers say they still don’t know if cats can know people just by smell. For now, your cat might not know it’s you by your smell alone—but they do know you’re not a stranger! 46. Why did the cats spend more time on the stick with a stranger’s scent? A. They thought there was much food. B. The stranger’s scent was similar to their owners’. C. They noticed the smell was new and wanted to learn more about it. D. There was something wrong with their noses after they smelt the other sticks. 47. Which of the following can we put back into the blank “_____”? A. Cats have no ability to know different smells at all. B. Cats can know people quickly by using only one sense. C. Cats are only interested in the smell of their owners. D. Cats can tell the difference between familiar and unfamiliar smells. 48. What can we infer from the text? A. The cats spent the least time smelling the clean stick. B. The scientists may do more studies on cats in the future. C. The smell of the stranger made the cats feel afraid and run away. D. The clean stick was used to show cats have a good sense of smell. 49. In which part of a newspaper can we find the text? A. Sports&Health. B. People&Health. C. Food&Culture. D. Science&Nature. B Plants give us food clothes and oxygen (氧气). There are over 335,000 kinds of plants in the world. Many plants have six parts. In fact, all living things have life cycles (周期). During the growth of plants, each part has its own job to do. Let’s learn together. A plant’s life cycle begins with seeds. Seeds come in many shapes and sizes. When seeds are in the earth, they will grow into plants over time. The roots of a plant usually grow underground. They take in nutrients (养分) and absorb (吸收) water from the earth. The stem grows up from the roots and helps the plant to stand It stores nutrients and transports (传送) water to other parts of the plant. Leaves grow out of the stem. The leaves collect sunlight and CO₂ during the day, and these things are converted (转化) into sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). Many flowers are colourful. They help the plant to make seeds. Some plants grow fruits that have seeds in them, such as apples and corn. These are all fruits of plants. 50.

Back home, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you regret (遗憾) it?” “I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied. “People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake. He was the greatest traveller (旅行家) in Chinese history. From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains. But at the time, it was very difficult to travel far. However, this didn’t stop him. At 22, he set out on his life’s journey. He travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream. Xu made many geographical discoveries during his journey. Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak was higher than Lianhua Peak. To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He discovered that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right! Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary. This later became Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago. “Exploring the unexplored” is the best description of Xu’s life. 53. What was Xu Xiake’s dream?
