They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscapes, geographic wonders and colorful plants and animals. The Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park of the US is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long, up to 29 kilometers wide and 6 kilometers deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park’s full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wildflowers. If you love animals, you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live here. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard, black rhinoceros and African buffalo. The name “Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration (迁徙) of over 5 million wildebeest (角马) and 250,000 zebras every year.

It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain. Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music because everyone can understand what the music is about. Country western music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) in the American West countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country western music. In recent years, many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles. They have brought country western music more and more fans from all over the world. 22. According to the passage, people like American country music because ______.

This way is sure to work.” 46. Did the boy like the tortoise? (no more than 3 words) ________________ 47. Why did the boy pat the tortoise on the head and strike it with a stick? (no more than 10 words) ________________ 48. How did the boy and his grandfather make the tortoise hold out its head? (no more than 8 words) ________________ 49. Fill in the blanks with the correct words. Each blank should be filled with one word. ① ______ ② ______ ③ ______ 50. Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. ________________ 51. What can you learn from the story? ________________ 【答案】46. Yes. 47. Because he wanted to make it hold out its head. 48. By putting it on a warm stove. 49. ①. to ②. it ③. asked 50. 男孩的祖父看见了，笑着帮男孩把乌龟放在一个温暖的炉子上。 51. We should use a way of giving love and warmth instead of attacking. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了男孩试图用轻拍、击打等强迫方式让乌龟伸出头却无果，祖父将乌龟放在温暖的炉子上，乌龟因温暖主动伸出四肢和头；祖父借此教导男孩：想要他人按自己的意愿做事，不应使用攻击、强迫的手段，而应给予关爱与温暖，这种方式才能真正奏效。 【46题详解】 根据“A boy kept a little tortoise and he liked it very much.”可知，男孩养了一只乌龟，并且很喜欢它。故填Yes. 【47题详解】 根据“On a cold day in winter, the boy wanted to make the tortoise hold out its head. He tried many ways he could think of.”可知，男孩是为了让乌龟伸出头。故填Because he wanted to make it hold out its head. 【48题详解】 根据“The boy’s grandfather saw it, laughed and helped the boy put the tortoise on a warm stove. After a while, the tortoise put its head, legs and tail out of its carapace because of the warmth.”可知，男孩的祖父看到了这一幕，笑了笑，然后帮男孩把乌龟放到了温暖的炉子上，过了一会儿，乌龟因为感受到温暖，把它的头、腿和尾巴都伸出了壳外。故填By putting it on a warm stove. 【49题详解】 根据“he tried...pat it on the head and then struck...with a stick”可知，try to do sth.“试图做某事”，后接动词不定式作宾语，因此①为to；前文提到the tortoise，后文再次指代同一事物时，用第三人称单数代词“it”，避免重复，且strike it with a stick表达为“用棍子击打它(乌龟)”，因此②为it；根据“The boy was surprised and...his grandfather for the reason.”可知，此处指询问祖父原因，ask“问”，全文为一般过去时态，因此ask应用asked，因此③为asked。故填to；it；asked。 【50题详解】 The boy’s“男孩的”；grandfather“祖父”；saw“看见”；it“它”；laughed“笑”；and“并且”；helped“帮助”；the boy“男孩”；put“放”；the tortoise“乌龟”；on“在……上”；a“一个”；warm“温暖的”；stove“炉子”。故填：男孩的祖父看见了，笑着帮男孩把乌龟放在一个温暖的炉子上。 【51题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合文章内容，合理作答即可。故填We should use a way of giving love and warmth instead of attacking. 七、写作(共1小题;满分25分) 52. 当前，全市各学校正开展“好书伴我成长”活动。请你根据活动主题并结合表格中所给信息，以“Growing up with good books”为题，用英语写一篇80词左右的倡议书，向全校同学发出倡议。 读书的益处 获取知识，增长见识，使人快乐 存在的现象 听音乐，看电视，上网，占用了大部分业余时间 发出倡议 多读书，读经典好书。向世界传播中国传统文化 让读书成为我们生活的一部分 要求：1.倡议书应包括所有要点； 2.倡议书的开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Growing up with good books My dear friends, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 Growing up with good books My dear friends, Reading good books is really helpful for us.

It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain. Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music because everyone can understand what the music is about. Country western music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) in the American West countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country western music. In recent years many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles. They have brought country western music more and more fans from all over the world. 22. According to the passage, people like American country music because ______.
