The reopening was a big event, attended by world leaders and over 2,500 guests, including President of the United States Donald Trump, Former America’s first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. People can now see the fixed arches (拱门), pretty windows, and a big organ (风琴). The church looks white and clean again, just like it used to. Some parts outside still have work going on, but the inside is ready for everyone to visit. The reopening is not just a reopening of a building; it’s a reopening of a piece of French history and culture. The restoration work showed how strong and hardworking the French people are.

The church looks white and clean again.”可知，游客现在能看到修复好的拱门、漂亮的窗户、一个大风琴，教堂看起来又洁白干净了，所以大家能看到修复好的拱门和干净的墙壁。故选A。 28．主旨大意题。本文开篇引出巴黎圣母院重新开放的话题，接着介绍了开放时间、参与人员、修复后的样子以及开放的意义等，全文围绕巴黎圣母院重新开放展开，所以文章的主旨是巴黎圣母院的重新开放。故选D。 C In late June 2018, the weather report said there would be heavy rain in western Japan, but no one was prepared for what would happen. By mid-July, large areas were flooded. Some areas received over 100 centimeters of rain. Cars and trucks floated (漂浮) down the streets. Whole buildings were washed away. At least 225 people died, and millions had to leave their homes. The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains caused (导致) floods in many parts of the world. There were droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. High temperatures in Europe killed thousands. There were more hurricanes (飓风) in America. As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or are we to blame (指责)? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists believe human activity makes the Earth warmer. The higher temperatures cause more water to enter the air. This causes heavier rain. Many scientists also believe global warming (全球变暖) makes more hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we will see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and do nothing,” says scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 29．The writer writes paragraph 2 to ________. A．give examples of natural disasters B．describe the big flood in Japan C．show how the weather will change D．ask people to protect the Earth 30．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．human activity B．a dangerous storm C．more wild weather D．the loss caused by bad weather 31．Which of the following may Michael want to say to us? A．It’s too late to protect the Earth. B．We should do something to stop global warming. C．There are no ways to prevent natural disasters. D．Stand there patiently, and we can save our lives. 32．What’s the main idea of the article? A．Scientists try to find out why the weather is changing. B．There were many natural disasters around the world last year. C．Global warming causes wild weather and we should take action. D．A terrible flood hit Japan and made lots of people leave their homes. 【答案】29．A 30．C 31．B 32．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述因为地球变暖，气候发生变化，从而导致自然灾害不断发生，人类应为改善气候而做出努力。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There were droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. High temperatures in Europe killed thousands. There were more hurricanes (飓风) in America.”可知，作者举自然灾害的例子。故选A。 30．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural”以及第四段中的“Wild weather is natural.”可知，划线词“this”指代的是上文中的“more wild weather”。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘But we don’t have to just stand there and do nothing,’ says scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer.”可知，Michael想要告诉我们我们应该采取措施阻止全球变暖。故选B。 32．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要叙述全球变暖造成恶劣天气，我们应该采取行动阻止全球变暖，所以C项正确。故选C。 D There is a time in every boy’s life when he wants to go and dig for treasure. And that time came for Tom. So, one hot summer’s day, he went to find Huck… There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs. “No,” Tom whispered. “It’s two men. One is the old Spaniard. He came to live in the village last week. I don’t know the other man. Sh! Let’s listen to them.” The two men sat down on the floor. The Spaniard had a green hat and long white hair; the other man was small and dark. He took out a bag and began to open it. “It’s hot here,” the Spaniard said. He took off his green hat and then he took off his long white hair! “Tom!” Huck whispered upstairs. “That’s Injun Joe!” “We took six hundred and fifty dollars when we robbed that house,” said the second man. He took some money out of the bag. “We can take fifty dollars with us now. What are we going to do with the six hundred?” “Leave it here,” said Injun Joe. “We can come back and get it next week. Here, give me the bag.” He walked across the room to the fireplace, moved two big stones from the floor, and began to dig with his knife. Upstairs, the two boys watched excitedly. Treasure! Six hundred dollars of wonderful treasure! Injun Joe stopped digging. “Hello, what’s this?” he said. “There’s something here. It’s an old box.” The two men got the box out and opened it. “It’s money!” said Injun Joe’s friend. Injun Joe put his hand into the box. “There are thousands of dollars here!” he said, and the two men looked at the money with happy smiles. “But who—” began Injun Joe’s friend. “Don’t ask,” Injun Joe said. “It’s our money now.” “We can’t take it with us today,” said his friend. “What can we do with it? Put it back under the floor?” “Yes,” said Injun Joe. (Happy faces upstairs.) “No! (Very unhappy faces upstairs.) Let’s put it under the cross—nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.” When night came, the two men carried all the money away. The boys wanted very much to find that “cross”, but they were afraid of Injun Joe. (Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) 33．What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to? A．Fifty dollars. B．Six hundred dollars. C．Thousands of dollars. D．Six hundred and fifty dollars. 34．What did Injun Joe and his friend plan to do with the money in the old box? A．Take it all with them at once. B．Hide it under the cross where no one goes.

Injun Joe took off his green hat and fake long white hair. A．d-b-a-c B．b-d-a-c C．b-a-c-d D．d-a-b-c 36．What can we infer (推断) about the following story? A．Injun Joe and his friend were caught. B．Tom and Huck successfully got the treasure themselves. C．The treasure was hidden in a place easily found by others. D．Tom and Huck might give up following Injun Joe and his friend at last. 【答案】33．B 34．B 35．B 36．D 【导语】本文节选自《汤姆索亚历险记》，讲述汤姆和哈克发现一个有很多钱的盒子的经历。 33．词句猜测题。根据“We took six hundred and fifty dollars when we robbed that house…What are we going to do with the six hundred?”以及下文“Leave it here…We can come back and get it next week.”可知，这里讨论的是那六百美元怎么处理，所以it指代的是六百美元，即Six hundred dollars。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据“Let’s put it under the cross—nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.”可知，印第安・乔和他的朋友计划把旧盒子里的钱藏在没人去的十字架下面。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据“There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs…It’s two men.”可知，汤姆和哈克先通过地板上的洞发现了两个男人，这是事件b；接着，“The Spaniard had a green hat and long white hair; the other man was small and dark…He took off his green hat and then he took off his long white hair!”表明印第安・乔摘下了绿帽子和假的白色长发，这是事件d；然后，“Injun Joe stopped digging. ‘Hello, what’s this?’ he said. ‘There’s something here. It’s an old box.’ The two men got the box out and opened it. ‘It’s money!’”说明两人发现了装有钱的旧盒子，这是事件a；最后，“Let’s put it under the cross—nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.”体现两人决定把钱放在十字架下面，这是事件c。所以事件发生的顺序是b-d-a-c。故选B。 36．推理判断题。根据“The boys wanted very much to find that ‘cross’, but they were afraid of Injun Joe.”可知，男孩们非常害怕印第安・乔，所以可以推断他们可能最终会放弃跟踪印第安・乔和他的朋友。故选D。 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Life is Like the Four Seasons When I was young, it was the spring of my life.

The next morning, Babu went to his pottery shop. He could think better when he was sitting at the potter’s wheel. As he spun the wheel with his feet, he shaped a block of clay into a large pot. The soft feel of the wet clay on his hands made him feel calmer. Even if he found the elephant, Babu wouldn’t return him to the mean master. He had to think of a plan. When the pot was almost finished, Babu got an idea. It had to work! If it didn’t, he would go to jail. If he went to jail, he couldn’t make pottery. Then his family wouldn’t have any money. Babu worked day and night for two days to make many pots, jars, and bowls. He put them in his kiln. The heat baked the clay and made the pottery hard. Two days later, Babu took the pottery out of the kiln to cool and gathered his paints. He used a small brush to paint designs on the pottery. He painted an old design that he remembered seeing many years ago. When he finished the last jar, he stood back to look at his work. The old designs made the new pottery look old. Babu smiled, even though he was very tired. There was only one thing left to do. Babu wrote a note to leave at Purna’s house that night.

In the 18th century, Europeans (欧洲人) came to Australia. They took the 47 (one) rabbit to Australia. After that, the number of rabbits increased quickly. One of the reasons is that there were no foxes or 48 (wolf) in Australia at that time. Another reason is that the natural environment of Australia was good 49 rabbits. The ground was very soft. As a result, the rabbits could dig holes 50 (easy). Some holes were as deep as 1.5 metres. And there was delicious grass everywhere, 51 the rabbits could get enough food. By the time of 1926, there were about 10 billion rabbits in Australia. James is 52 farmer in Australia. He used to have a very large field. But there were so many rabbits there that most of the grass was eaten by them. Without grass, the land quickly became dry. Many sheep and horses fell into rabbits’ home and hurt 53 (they).

After five long years of restoration (修复重建), the meaningful Paris Notre Dame Cathedral has reopened its doors to the public. The historic building, which suffered a terrible fire in 2019, has been brought back to life through the hard work of thousands of skilled workers and artists. On December 8th, the Notre Dame Cathedral welcomed visitors for the first time since the fire. The reopening was a big event, attended by world leaders and over 2,500 guests, including President of the United States Donald Trump, Former America’s first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. People can now see the fixed arches (拱门), pretty windows, and a big organ (风琴). The church looks white and clean again, just like it used to. Some parts outside still have work going on, but the inside is ready for everyone to visit. The reopening is not just a reopening of a building; it’s a reopening of a piece of French history and culture. The restoration work showed how strong and hardworking the French people are. The reopening is a symbol of hope and a reminder (提醒) of the importance of preserving the cultural heritage (保护文化遗产) for future generations. It shows how countries can work together, as many countries, including China, supported the restoration. 26．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By giving an example. B．By asking a question.

By mid-July, large areas were flooded. Some areas received over 100 centimeters of rain. Cars and trucks floated (漂浮) down the streets. Whole buildings were washed away. At least 225 people died, and millions had to leave their homes. The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains caused (导致) floods in many parts of the world. There were droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. High temperatures in Europe killed thousands. There were more hurricanes (飓风) in America. As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or are we to blame (指责)? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists believe human activity makes the Earth warmer. The higher temperatures cause more water to enter the air. This causes heavier rain. Many scientists also believe global warming (全球变暖) makes more hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we will see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and do nothing,” says scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 29．The writer writes paragraph 2 to ________. A．give examples of natural disasters B．describe the big flood in Japan C．show how the weather will change D．ask people to protect the Earth 30．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．human activity B．a dangerous storm C．more wild weather D．the loss caused by bad weather 31．Which of the following may Michael want to say to us? A．It’s too late to protect the Earth. B．We should do something to stop global warming. C．There are no ways to prevent natural disasters. D．Stand there patiently, and we can save our lives. 32．What’s the main idea of the article? A．Scientists try to find out why the weather is changing. B．There were many natural disasters around the world last year. C．Global warming causes wild weather and we should take action. D．A terrible flood hit Japan and made lots of people leave their homes. D There is a time in every boy’s life when he wants to go and dig for treasure. And that time came for Tom. So, one hot summer’s day, he went to find Huck… There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs. “No,” Tom whispered. “It’s two men. One is the old Spaniard. He came to live in the village last week. I don’t know the other man. Sh! Let’s listen to them.” The two men sat down on the floor. The Spaniard had a green hat and long white hair; the other man was small and dark. He took out a bag and began to open it. “It’s hot here,” the Spaniard said. He took off his green hat and then he took off his long white hair! “Tom!” Huck whispered upstairs. “That’s Injun Joe!” “We took six hundred and fifty dollars when we robbed that house,” said the second man. He took some money out of the bag. “We can take fifty dollars with us now. What are we going to do with the six hundred?” “Leave it here,” said Injun Joe. “We can come back and get it next week. Here, give me the bag.” He walked across the room to the fireplace, moved two big stones from the floor, and began to dig with his knife. Upstairs, the two boys watched excitedly. Treasure! Six hundred dollars of wonderful treasure! Injun Joe stopped digging. “Hello, what’s this?” he said. “There’s something here. It’s an old box.” The two men got the box out and opened it. “It’s money!” said Injun Joe’s friend. Injun Joe put his hand into the box. “There are thousands of dollars here!” he said, and the two men looked at the money with happy smiles. “But who—” began Injun Joe’s friend. “Don’t ask,” Injun Joe said. “It’s our money now.” “We can’t take it with us today,” said his friend. “What can we do with it? Put it back under the floor?” “Yes,” said Injun Joe. (Happy faces upstairs.) “No! (Very unhappy faces upstairs.) Let’s put it under the cross—nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.” When night came, the two men carried all the money away. The boys wanted very much to find that “cross”, but they were afraid of Injun Joe. (Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) 33．What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to? A．Fifty dollars. B．Six hundred dollars. C．Thousands of dollars.

The next morning, Babu went to his pottery shop. He could think better when he was sitting at the potter’s wheel. As he spun the wheel with his feet, he shaped a block of clay into a large pot. The soft feel of the wet clay on his hands made him feel calmer. Even if he found the elephant, Babu wouldn’t return him to the mean master. He had to think of a plan. When the pot was almost finished, Babu got an idea. It had to work! If it didn’t, he would go to jail. If he went to jail, he couldn’t make pottery. Then his family wouldn’t have any money. Babu worked day and night for two days to make many pots, jars, and bowls. He put them in his kiln. The heat baked the clay and made the pottery hard. Two days later, Babu took the pottery out of the kiln to cool and gathered his paints. He used a small brush to paint designs on the pottery. He painted an old design that he remembered seeing many years ago. When he finished the last jar, he stood back to look at his work. The old designs made the new pottery look old. Babu smiled, even though he was very tired. There was only one thing left to do. Babu wrote a note to leave at Purna’s house that night. He asked Purna to come to the pottery shop the next day to get his elephant. Babu was sorry to lie about the elephant, but Purna must come to the shop for the plan to work. 41．How long did Babu spend making many pots, jars, and bowls? 42．What did Babu use to paint designs on the pottery? 43．What design did Babu paint on the pottery? 44．What do you think of Babu? 六、综合填空(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。 Do you think rabbits are cute?

After five long years of restoration (修复重建), the meaningful Paris Notre Dame Cathedral has reopened its doors to the public. The historic building, which suffered a terrible fire in 2019, has been brought back to life through the hard work of thousands of skilled workers and artists. On December 8th, the Notre Dame Cathedral welcomed visitors for the first time since the fire. The reopening was a big event, attended by world leaders and over 2,500 guests, including President of the United States Donald Trump, Former America’s first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. People can now see the fixed arches (拱门), pretty windows, and a big organ (风琴). The church looks white and clean again, just like it used to. Some parts outside still have work going on, but the inside is ready for everyone to visit. The reopening is not just a reopening of a building; it’s a reopening of a piece of French history and culture. The restoration work showed how strong and hardworking the French people are.

By mid-July, large areas were flooded. Some areas received over 100 centimeters of rain. Cars and trucks floated (漂浮) down the streets. Whole buildings were washed away. At least 225 people died, and millions had to leave their homes. The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains caused (导致) floods in many parts of the world. There were droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. High temperatures in Europe killed thousands. There were more hurricanes (飓风) in America. As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or are we to blame (指责)? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists believe human activity makes the Earth warmer. The higher temperatures cause more water to enter the air. This causes heavier rain. Many scientists also believe global warming (全球变暖) makes more hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we will see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and do nothing,” says scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 29．The writer writes paragraph 2 to ________. A．give examples of natural disasters B．describe the big flood in Japan C．show how the weather will change D．ask people to protect the Earth 30．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．human activity B．a dangerous storm C．more wild weather D．the loss caused by bad weather 31．Which of the following may Michael want to say to us? A．It’s too late to protect the Earth. B．We should do something to stop global warming. C．There are no ways to prevent natural disasters. D．Stand there patiently, and we can save our lives. 32．What’s the main idea of the article? A．Scientists try to find out why the weather is changing. B．There were many natural disasters around the world last year. C．Global warming causes wild weather and we should take action. D．A terrible flood hit Japan and made lots of people leave their homes. D There is a time in every boy’s life when he wants to go and dig for treasure. And that time came for Tom. So, one hot summer’s day, he went to find Huck… There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs. “No,” Tom whispered. “It’s two men. One is the old Spaniard. He came to live in the village last week. I don’t know the other man. Sh! Let’s listen to them.” The two men sat down on the floor. The Spaniard had a green hat and long white hair; the other man was small and dark. He took out a bag and began to open it. “It’s hot here,” the Spaniard said. He took off his green hat and then he took off his long white hair! “Tom!” Huck whispered upstairs. “That’s Injun Joe!” “We took six hundred and fifty dollars when we robbed that house,” said the second man. He took some money out of the bag. “We can take fifty dollars with us now. What are we going to do with the six hundred?” “Leave it here,” said Injun Joe. “We can come back and get it next week. Here, give me the bag.” He walked across the room to the fireplace, moved two big stones from the floor, and began to dig with his knife. Upstairs, the two boys watched excitedly. Treasure! Six hundred dollars of wonderful treasure! Injun Joe stopped digging. “Hello, what’s this?” he said. “There’s something here. It’s an old box.” The two men got the box out and opened it. “It’s money!” said Injun Joe’s friend. Injun Joe put his hand into the box. “There are thousands of dollars here!” he said, and the two men looked at the money with happy smiles. “But who—” began Injun Joe’s friend. “Don’t ask,” Injun Joe said. “It’s our money now.” “We can’t take it with us today,” said his friend. “What can we do with it? Put it back under the floor?” “Yes,” said Injun Joe. (Happy faces upstairs.) “No! (Very unhappy faces upstairs.) Let’s put it under the cross—nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.” When night came, the two men carried all the money away. The boys wanted very much to find that “cross”, but they were afraid of Injun Joe.

The next morning, Babu went to his pottery shop. He could think better when he was sitting at the potter’s wheel. As he spun the wheel with his feet, he shaped a block of clay into a large pot. The soft feel of the wet clay on his hands made him feel calmer. Even if he found the elephant, Babu wouldn’t return him to the mean master. He had to think of a plan. When the pot was almost finished, Babu got an idea. It had to work! If it didn’t, he would go to jail. If he went to jail, he couldn’t make pottery. Then his family wouldn’t have any money. Babu worked day and night for two days to make many pots, jars, and bowls. He put them in his kiln. The heat baked the clay and made the pottery hard. Two days later, Babu took the pottery out of the kiln to cool and gathered his paints. He used a small brush to paint designs on the pottery. He painted an old design that he remembered seeing many years ago. When he finished the last jar, he stood back to look at his work. The old designs made the new pottery look old. Babu smiled, even though he was very tired. There was only one thing left to do. Babu wrote a note to leave at Purna’s house that night. He asked Purna to come to the pottery shop the next day to get his elephant. Babu was sorry to lie about the elephant, but Purna must come to the shop for the plan to work. 41．How long did Babu spend making many pots, jars, and bowls? 42．What did Babu use to paint designs on the pottery? 43．What design did Babu paint on the pottery? 44．What do you think of Babu? 六、综合填空(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。 Do you think rabbits are cute?
