The sage smiled and asked, “Son, why do you look so troubled?” The businessman replied, “I am rich, but my mind is never at peace.” The sage said, “Come to the nearby forest tomorrow morning before sunrise. I will show you true wealth.” Next morning, the businessman reached the forest before time. The sage took him to a cave (洞穴) and said, “Inside this cave, you will see many treasures. The very first treasure you notice is your true wealth. But remember, you can only pick one.” The businessman went in. The cave was filled with treasures. His greed (贪婪) began to grow, he thought, “Let me look a little more...” and kept searching. Time passed. When the sun rose, suddenly the businessman was driven out of the cave, then the cave was closed. He cried because he got nothing in the cave.

But Mary and Sara are deaf, which means that they cannot hear. Still they understand each other. How? Well, one way that people who are deaf communicate is by using sign language. Sign language takes the place of spoken words. People using sign language can actually talk faster than they spoke out loud. Another way is through lip (嘴唇) reading. People who lip-read have learned to understand spoken words by reading the shapes and movements speakers make with their lips, mouths and tongues (舌头). Some people who are deaf can also use hearing aids (助听器) or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗) to help them hear the sounds and words. Hearing aids usually fit outside the ear and make sounds louder. Cochlear implants are inside the ear. Often, children and adults with hearing aids or cochlear implants take lessons to learn to speak as normal people do. 46. According to the text, what can we learn about using sign language? A. It is easier to learn than lip-reading. B. It can be faster than speaking aloud. C. It allows to communicate in the dark. D.

The dream came true in 1783 when a hot-air balloon carried its first passengers. The movement of the balloon is largely controlled by the wind. The main control the balloon pilot has is to change altitude, moving the balloon up and down, in order to catch right winds. As bags of sand are thrown out, the balloon rises. As air is given out, the balloon drops. Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier were two brothers who lived in France. They made the hot-air balloon fly for the first time successfully in 1783. The first balloon passengers were a sheep and a duck. Hot-air balloons are still used for sport and adventure (探险). In 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones became the first persons to complete an around-the-world trip without stopping. Three years later, Steve Fossett became the first person to finish the trip alone. 49. What does the underlined word “altitude” mean probably? A. Speed. B. Height. C. Shape. D. Size. 50. Which of the following was one of the first balloon passengers? A. B. C. D. 51. When did Steve Fossett finish his balloon trip alone? A. In 1783. B. In 1996. C. In 1999. D. In 2002. 52. What is the text mainly about? A. Famous hot-air balloon pilots of the 20th century. B. How to build a passenger hot-air balloon. C. The science and history of hot-air balloons. D. How to control a hot-air balloon. 【答案】49. B 50. A 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了热气球的发展历史、控制原理及现代应用场景，展现了热气球的科学价值与探索意义。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“moving the balloon up and down”和选项可推知，此处的altitude与height“高度”的意思相近。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The first balloon passengers were a sheep and a duck.”可知，第一批热气球乘客中包括鸭子。故选A。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones became the first persons to complete an around-the-world trip without stopping. Three years later, Steve Fossett became the first person to finish the trip alone.”可知，1999年，伯特兰·皮卡德和布赖恩·琼斯成为首批完成不停顿环球飞行的人。三年后，史蒂夫·福塞特成为独自完成这一壮举的第一人。因此，史蒂夫·福塞特在2002年完成了独自气球之旅。故选D。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍热气球的科学原理以及发展历史。故选C。 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 It was a busy day at the market. Many villagers were selling something. Just then, a snake came out and scared the villagers. As the villagers ran for their lives, the snake felt very happy and proud. One day, the snake did the same thing to a sage. But the man bravely stood his ground. “Hiss (发嘶嘶声)! Aren’t you scared?” asked the snake. “Scared? No! Why do you waste your time doing such silly things? People are only scared of you. No one likes you! Try to change your ways and you will have a better life,” said the sage. Hearing the words, the snake was deeply touched. He decided to change for the better. A few days later, the sage visited the village again. But what he saw shocked him. The snake hurt. “What happened?” asked the sage. “I just followed your advice. I stopped scaring people and I even stopped hissing at them. But they beat me up all the time. What do I do?” the poor snake asked. “Oh, poor thing! I told you not to kill or scare people just for fun. But did I ever tell you not to hiss? You’re born with the power to hiss for your safety. Use it when needed but don’t abuse (滥用) it,” replied the sage. The snake understood the sage’s point. 53. How did the snake feel when it scared the villagers? (不超过10个词) ________________ 54.

Always put your skills to good use./Put your power to good use./Use your power when needed but don’t abuse it./Use your skills when needed but don’t abuse it. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一条蛇通过吓唬村民获得快乐，但被智者点醒后决定改变。然而，当它完全停止嘶吼时却遭到村民攻击。智者最终教导它：应合理使用与生俱来的能力（如嘶吼）进行自卫，而非滥用或完全放弃。 【53题详解】 根据“a snake came out and scared the villagers. As the villagers ran for their lives, the snake felt very happy and proud.”可知，蛇吓唬完村民后感到非常高兴和自豪。故填It felt very happy and proud. 【54题详解】 根据“‘Try to change your ways and you will have a better life,’ said the sage.”可知，智者建议蛇应该改变行为方式来过上更好的生活。故填It should change its ways to have a better life. 【55题详解】 根据“Use it when needed but don’t abuse (滥用) it,”可知，蛇最终明白了要在需要的时候使用技能，不能滥用。故填Always put your skills to good use./Put your power to good use./Use your power when needed but don’t abuse it./Use your skills when needed but don’t abuse it. 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.

In the morning, we met and went there by car, which took us one hour and a half. The weather was good and all of us were looking forward to this day! Arriving at the front door, we had to face that a lot of Chinese people had the same idea and arrived in group buses. It came out that we were the only foreign people in the park. We entered the park and were not only surprised by the cleanliness but also by the fact that the attractions (景点) were as good as new. There were attractions for children and grown-ups; nobody had to be bored in the park. We spent time trying out some of the attractions. As there were many people in the park, we usually had to wait up to one hour to take one ride. As we found it too crowded, we had to leave earlier in the afternoon. We still want to return to Merryland, because it is a pleasure for children and adults! 39. How did the writer and his friends get to Merryland? A. By bus. B. By car. C. By train. D. On foot. 40.

To encourage more people to visit Guilin. C Once upon a time, there was a rich businessman who was very proud of his wealth (财富). He was busy making money every day. Although he had a lot of wealth, the businessman’s mind was restless and never at peace. One day, he met a sage on the way. The sage smiled and asked, “Son, why do you look so troubled?” The businessman replied, “I am rich, but my mind is never at peace.” The sage said, “Come to the nearby forest tomorrow morning before sunrise. I will show you true wealth.” Next morning, the businessman reached the forest before time. The sage took him to a cave (洞穴) and said, “Inside this cave, you will see many treasures. The very first treasure you notice is your true wealth. But remember, you can only pick one.” The businessman went in. The cave was filled with treasures. His greed (贪婪) began to grow, he thought, “Let me look a little more...” and kept searching. Time passed. When the sun rose, suddenly the businessman was driven out of the cave, then the cave was closed. He cried because he got nothing in the cave. Finally, the sage’s voice came, “You failed to know true wealth—it was time and satisfaction. In your greed, you got nothing.” 42. Why did the sage ask the businessman to go to the forest? A. To punish him for his greed. B. To show him how to become richer. C. To give him all the treasures in the cave. D. To teach him a lesson about true wealth. 43. What does the underlined (划线的) word “one” refer to (指的是)? A. A room. B. A cave. C. A day. D. A treasure. 44. What happened when the sun rose? A. The sage left the forest. B. The cave door closed. C. The businessman got many treasures. D. The businessman found peace. 45 Which of the following words can best describe the sage? A. Wise. B. Brave. C. Friendly. D. Humorous. D Mary is having a conversation with Sara. But Mary and Sara are deaf, which means that they cannot hear. Still they understand each other. How? Well, one way that people who are deaf communicate is by using sign language. Sign language takes the place of spoken words. People using sign language can actually talk faster than they spoke out loud. Another way is through lip (嘴唇) reading. People who lip-read have learned to understand spoken words by reading the shapes and movements speakers make with their lips, mouths and tongues (舌头). Some people who are deaf can also use hearing aids (助听器) or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗) to help them hear the sounds and words. Hearing aids usually fit outside the ear and make sounds louder. Cochlear implants are inside the ear. Often, children and adults with hearing aids or cochlear implants take lessons to learn to speak as normal people do. 46. According to the text, what can we learn about using sign language? A. It is easier to learn than lip-reading. B. It can be faster than speaking aloud. C. It allows to communicate in the dark. D. It helps improve hearing ability. 47. What can we infer (推断) about people with hearing aids? A. They need to learn lip reading. B. Their hearing aids stay inside ears. C. They may learn to speak normally. D. They only use sign language. 48. What is the best title (标题) for the text? A. How to Use Hearing Aids B. A Guide to Sign Language C. The Life of Mary and Sara D. Eyes that hear, speech that’s seen E Humans have always dreamed of flying through the air. The dream came true in 1783 when a hot-air balloon carried its first passengers.
