Success needs more ______. A．from; effects B．beyond; efforts C．through; changes D．against; attention 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——我钦佩那些有足够勇气去面对远远超出他们能力的任何挑战的人。——我也是。成功需要更多的努力。 考查介词辨析和名词辨析。from来自；effects影响；beyond超出；efforts努力；through通过；changes变化；against反对；attention注意力。根据“brave enough to face any challenges far...”可知，这里表达的是面对远远“超出”他们能力的挑战，只有beyond符合语境，所以第一空填beyond。第二空需要一个名词，根据语境，成功需要的是更多的“努力”，efforts符合语境，所以第二空填efforts。故选B。 2．—I have never watched a horror film.

A．if; surprising B．whether; surprised C．that; amazing D．if; amazed 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——我从未看过恐怖电影。我不确定我是否能看到最后。——来吧！不要错过令人惊讶的结局。 考查连词辨析和形容词辨析。if是否；whether是否；that引导从句无意义；surprising令人惊讶的；surprised惊讶的；amazing令人惊奇的；amazed大为惊奇的。根据“I’m not sure...I can watch it until the end.”可知是不确定是否能看到最后，用if/whether引导宾语从句；第二个空修饰名词ending用surprising/amazing。故选A。 3．My life in Grade Nine seemed a little difficult at first, but everything ______ to be fine now. A．finds out B．looks out C．breaks out D．turns out 【答案】D 【详解】句意：我的九年级生活起初看起来有点困难，但现在一切都很好。 考查动词短语。finds out查明；looks out小心；breaks out爆发；turns out结果是。根据“everything…fine now”可知，此处指现在结果一切都好了。故选D。 4．—China’s excellent culture is ______ treasure, as it helps us to know where we are from and where we’re going. —Yes.

A．so; until B．such; when C．so; while D．such; unless 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——Jim在物理考试中取得很大进步，这让老师感觉很惊讶。——除非他足够努力，否则他很难得高分。 考查such用法和状语从句。so如此，修饰形容词或副词；such如此，修饰名词；until直到；when当……时；while当……时；unless除非。progress不可数名词，用such修饰；“he works hard enough.”是条件，用unless引导条件状语从句。故选D。 6．—Some people often ______ New York, one of the biggest cities, for the capital of the USA． —In fact, its capital is Washington D．C． A．think B．consider C．mistake D．confirm 【答案】C 【详解】——句意：有些人把最大的城市之一纽约误认为是美国的首都。——事实上，它的首都是华盛顿特区。 考查动词辨析。think认为；consider考虑；mistake误以为；confirm确认。根据“In fact, its capital is Washington D.

A．Remember that you should keep everything in order. B．Never lose heart when you fall behind your classmates. C．Put up your hands if you can answer the question in class. D．Discuss the problems that you don’t understand with your classmates. 【答案】D 【详解】句意：以下哪条建议有限定性定语从句？ 考查限定性定语从句。A选项中“that you should keep everything in order”是宾语从句，作remember的宾语，不是定语从句；B选项中“when you fall behind your classmates”是时间状语从句，表示“当你落后于同学时”，不是定语从句；C选项中“if you can answer the question in class”是条件状语从句，意思是“如果你能在课堂上回答这个问题”，不是定语从句；D选项中“that you don’t understand”是that引导的限制性定语从句，修饰先行词problems，在从句中that作understand的宾语，意思是“和你的同学讨论你不理解的问题”，符合定语从句的结构和用法。故选D。 二、完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读短文，从每题所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Luke lived with his grandma during the last summer holidays.

During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London. The sound of drums, gongs and shouts echoed (回响) throughout London’s streets. It is the first time that the Yingge dance, a national cultural heritage (文化遗产) in China, has been performed overseas. A viewer named Lucy said, “Watching the dance was like stepping into a different world with the vivid colors, the lively expressions of the dancers. We don’t get to see things like that here. I was left in amazement by the ancient dance.” “We’ve waited for 300 years for the dance group to come to Europe. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It has stood out,” said another. Meaningfully translated as the “Songs of Heroes” dance, the 300-year-old dance rose from Chaozhou—Shantou region in Guangdong. Based on the stories of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Mountain from the classic novel Outlaws of the Marsh, with Shuihu Zhuan as its Chinese name, this folk art mixes a variety of forms, from martial (军事的) arts and Chinese opera to dance. The lead dancer, “Shi Qian”, holds a snake in his hands, whose style of dancing is thought to drive off ghosts. Other performers each dress as one of the 108 heroes. They also wear different opera-style makeups, according to their roles. Dancers wave a pair of short sticks and make powerful movements. They hit the sticks together now and then while walking and dancing. The coach, Chen Laifa, is a national-level inheritor of Yingge dance. ① “When it first appeared 300 years ago, Yingge was a celebration of the success of goodness over evil, and nowadays it is seen as a peace messenger,” said Chen. “We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.” 31．Where does Yingge dance come from? A．North China. B．London streets. C．Overseas. D．Guangdong Province. 32．Why did Lucy say that they had waited for 300 years? A．To show how she loved Yingge Dance. B．To tell how old the city of London was. C．To express how strange Yingge Dance was. D．To show how different Yingge Dance looked. 33．What does “Yingge” in the name of Yingge Dance stand for? A．The name of a place. B．Songs of Heroes. C．The history of Guangdong. D．The name of a ghost. 34．Which of the following sentence best fits in the blank in the last paragraph? A．To him, the most important thing is to study the history of Yingge Dance. B．In his view, London is the best place to introduce Yingge Dance to overseas. C．For him, bringing the ancient dance to an international stage is of great importance. D．Chen believes that Yingge Dance will be the symbol of Chinese dance across the world. 35．The main purpose of the passage is to _________. A．spread traditional Chinese culture B．encourage us to practice Yingge dance C．introduce Chinese classical novels D．build a bridge between China and Britain 【答案】31．D 32．A 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国非物质文化遗产——英歌舞的历史、文化背景及其在海外传播的意义。 31．细节理解题。根据“During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London.”可知，英歌舞来自中国南方广东省。故选D。 32．推理判断题。根据“We’ve waited for 300 years for the dance group to come to Europe. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It has stood out,”可知，Lucy说“等了300年”是为了表达她对英歌舞的喜爱和对其独特性的赞赏。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“Meaningfully translated as the ‘Songs of Heroes’ dance...”可知，“英歌”在英歌舞中代表“英雄之歌”。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据“We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.”可知，陈来发作为国家级英歌舞传承人，希望将这种精神传播给英国人民，同时也传播我们的文化，因此选项C“对他来说，把这种古老的舞蹈带到国际舞台上是非常重要的。”符合语境。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍英歌舞的历史、文化背景及其在伦敦的演出，旨在传播中国传统文化。故选A。 C We decided not to tell the kids. Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1,000 days to live, they’d start counting. They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t. Marla wanted her daughters to stay children: happy, relaxed, and confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday. In 2009, Marla’s doctor called to tell her that she had early-stage cancer. After several medical operations, she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy (化疗) to clear the cancer found in her body. Our kids were 8, 9, and 11 at the time, and they understood that their mother was under treatment, but we never told them the news we soon learned from hospital: Marla had the most serious cancer cell, and she had little chance to stay alive. Her doctor directly told her, “Go to live your next 1,000 days in the best way you know how.” Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances, for her own mental (心理的) fitness, and more importantly, so her kids would see her strong. I knew these miles were a wonder. Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries (周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren. Marla said to me at the hospital, “No glory (辉煌的) days for us. We almost had the kids out of the house, and now you’re alone. I’m so sorry.” I replied, “Sorry about what? You lived life to the fullest and made life worth living. I admired your power and courage. You already outran science. Thank you for taking me on your magic journey. Rest easy, my one and only girlfriend.” 36．If the children were told about Marla’s illness, they would ________. A．remain active B．study harder C．stay out with friends D．live with worries 37．How did Marla face her illness? A．She continued sports activities. B．She accepted it angrily. C．She avoided social life. D．She refused medical treatment. 38．What do the numbers show in Paragraph 5? A．Their valuable memories. B．Seriousness of her illness. C．A mixed feeling of joy and sadness. D．Importance of family celebrations. 39．What does the underlined word “outran” mean in the last paragraph? A．相信 B．依赖 C．超过 D．证实 40．What does Marla’s story tell us? A．Life is not roses. B．The fullest life matters most. C．Love can beat illness. D．Happiness takes long time. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．C 40．B 【导语】文章讲述了Marla在得知自己患有严重癌症后，选择不将病情告诉孩子们，而是坚强地面对生活，希望孩子们能无忧无虑地成长。 36．细节理解题。根据“They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t.”可知，如果孩子们被告知Marla的病情，他们会担心。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances”可知，在知道自己患有癌症后，她继续体育活动。故选A。 38．推理判断题。根据“Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries ( 周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren.”可知，这些数字既代表了Marla见证的喜悦时刻，也代表了她的遗憾。故选C。 39．词句猜测题。根据“Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000.”和“You already outran science.”可知，Marla活了3500多天，而不是1000天，这已经超越科学了，划线单词意为“超过”。故选C。 40．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Marla在得知自己患有严重癌症后，坚强地面对生活，在经历了多次手术和化疗，但她依然坚持长跑，以保持良好的心态。最终，Marla的生命远超过了医生预测的1000天，文章强调了Marla坚强勇敢地生活，活出了自己的精彩，因此Marla的故事告诉我们充实的人生最重要。故选B。 D ①Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them. ________ ②For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? ________ ③Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. ________ ④The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构光)”. This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层). These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. ________ ⑤Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. ⑥Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 41．According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________. A．blue B．white C．black D．reddish-purple 42．Which of the following pictures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? A．B．C． D． 43．Blueberries appear blue in the same way that ________.

It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light.”可知，植物叶子呈绿色是因为叶片中含有叶绿素，而叶绿素主要吸收红光和蓝光，不吸收绿光，故而绿光被反射回来，使得叶片呈绿色，可推知，B项符合。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据“The second way to make color is through ‘structural color (结构光)’…Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层).”以及“Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way.”可知，蓝莓呈现蓝色，就像CD呈现彩色一样，两者都是通过“结构光”制造颜色。故选A。 44．推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them.”及下文“For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue.”可知，此处承上启下，引出蓝色这一话题。故选A。 45．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要讲述吃蓝莓时，看到蓝莓的颜色是蓝色；第二段主要讲述剥开蓝莓或者轻轻擦拭蓝莓的外部，这时看到的颜色都不是蓝色的；第三段到第五段讲述创造颜色的两种方法和蓝莓创造颜色的方法；最后一段总结全文。故选D。 第二部分 非选择题(55分) 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空 一词。 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) Chopsticks (or kuaizi in Chinese) are a kind of common tableware in the world, they are widely used in Asia and overseas Chinese Community. Chopsticks are also one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. There are many stories about who may have invented them. About 3000 years ago, our ancestor called Dayu who helped people fight against floods. He was always busy and often ate in the wild. To save time, he used two branches to get the food. He found this way was more convenient than using hands. People followed him to use chopsticks to eat.

Around 500 A．D．, the use of chopsticks spread from China to some countries in Asia like Japan, Vietnam and Korea. Chopsticks are usually 7 cun and 6 fen long. Cun and fen are Chinese units of measurement.7 cun 6 fen is about 25.3333333cm. They are round at one end and squared at the other. In ancient times, the wealthy had their chopsticks made of silver, gold, jade or other precious materials. Nowadays, they are made from different materials. Although chopsticks are simple sticks, there is some Chinese philosophy (哲学) in them. The round end represents the sky and the squared end represents the earth. They are always used in pair which is full of Chinese best wishes. Chinese like even numbers (偶数) because pair in Chinese is a very lucky word. So a pair of chopsticks can be used as the wedding gift. It means “to have a smart baby soon”. Meanwhile, there are some customs to use chopsticks while eating. Remember not to use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make a lot of noise. Never use them to point at others or to put them into rice directly. They are considered as impolite manners. Chopsticks are commonly used in Chinese daily life, but they are full of Chinese culture.

During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London. The sound of drums, gongs and shouts echoed (回响) throughout London’s streets. It is the first time that the Yingge dance, a national cultural heritage (文化遗产) in China, has been performed overseas. A viewer named Lucy said, “Watching the dance was like stepping into a different world with the vivid colors, the lively expressions of the dancers. We don’t get to see things like that here. I was left in amazement by the ancient dance.” “We’ve waited for 300 years for the dance group to come to Europe. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It has stood out,” said another. Meaningfully translated as the “Songs of Heroes” dance, the 300-year-old dance rose from Chaozhou—Shantou region in Guangdong. Based on the stories of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Mountain from the classic novel Outlaws of the Marsh, with Shuihu Zhuan as its Chinese name, this folk art mixes a variety of forms, from martial (军事的) arts and Chinese opera to dance. The lead dancer, “Shi Qian”, holds a snake in his hands, whose style of dancing is thought to drive off ghosts. Other performers each dress as one of the 108 heroes. They also wear different opera-style makeups, according to their roles. Dancers wave a pair of short sticks and make powerful movements. They hit the sticks together now and then while walking and dancing. The coach, Chen Laifa, is a national-level inheritor of Yingge dance. ① “When it first appeared 300 years ago, Yingge was a celebration of the success of goodness over evil, and nowadays it is seen as a peace messenger,” said Chen. “We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.” 31．Where does Yingge dance come from? A．North China. B．London streets. C．Overseas. D．Guangdong Province. 32．Why did Lucy say that they had waited for 300 years? A．To show how she loved Yingge Dance. B．To tell how old the city of London was. C．To express how strange Yingge Dance was. D．To show how different Yingge Dance looked. 33．What does “Yingge” in the name of Yingge Dance stand for? A．The name of a place. B．Songs of Heroes. C．The history of Guangdong. D．The name of a ghost. 34．Which of the following sentence best fits in the blank in the last paragraph? A．To him, the most important thing is to study the history of Yingge Dance. B．In his view, London is the best place to introduce Yingge Dance to overseas. C．For him, bringing the ancient dance to an international stage is of great importance.

A．spread traditional Chinese culture B．encourage us to practice Yingge dance C．introduce Chinese classical novels D．build a bridge between China and Britain C We decided not to tell the kids. Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1,000 days to live, they’d start counting. They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t. Marla wanted her daughters to stay children: happy, relaxed, and confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday. In 2009, Marla’s doctor called to tell her that she had early-stage cancer. After several medical operations, she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy (化疗) to clear the cancer found in her body. Our kids were 8, 9, and 11 at the time, and they understood that their mother was under treatment, but we never told them the news we soon learned from hospital: Marla had the most serious cancer cell, and she had little chance to stay alive. Her doctor directly told her, “Go to live your next 1,000 days in the best way you know how.” Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances, for her own mental (心理的) fitness, and more importantly, so her kids would see her strong. I knew these miles were a wonder. Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries (周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren. Marla said to me at the hospital, “No glory (辉煌的) days for us. We almost had the kids out of the house, and now you’re alone. I’m so sorry.” I replied, “Sorry about what? You lived life to the fullest and made life worth living. I admired your power and courage. You already outran science. Thank you for taking me on your magic journey. Rest easy, my one and only girlfriend.” 36．If the children were told about Marla’s illness, they would ________. A．remain active B．study harder C．stay out with friends D．live with worries 37．How did Marla face her illness? A．She continued sports activities. B．She accepted it angrily. C．She avoided social life. D．She refused medical treatment. 38．What do the numbers show in Paragraph 5? A．Their valuable memories. B．Seriousness of her illness. C．A mixed feeling of joy and sadness. D．Importance of family celebrations. 39．What does the underlined word “outran” mean in the last paragraph? A．相信 B．依赖 C．超过 D．证实 40．What does Marla’s story tell us? A．Life is not roses. B．The fullest life matters most. C．Love can beat illness. D．Happiness takes long time. D ①Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them. ________ ②For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? ________ ③Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. ________ ④The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构光)”. This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层). These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. ________ ⑤Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. ⑥Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 41．According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________.

Chopsticks are also one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. There are many stories about who may have invented them.
