【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Did you know that dragons have been popular legends in both Europe and Asia for over 3000 years? There is a mention of a dragon in the Bible, but it is associated with evil and considered to be the devil. On the other hand, in China, the dragon is still a symbol of intelligence and power. But the image of the dragon in the East and West was influenced by hundreds of years of contact between Asia and Europe, and dragons came to have some similarities. It is believed that dragons were first imagined in the ancient Middle East.
In fact, there used to be a time when people even believed that they really existed. People used to think that dinosaur bones were dragon bones. It is not clear when people began to think that dragons could breathe fire, but both European and Asian dragons have been painted as having that capability. The Chinese dragon does not have legs or wings like the European dragon. The Russian dragon is often shown as having three heads. Dragons are still quite popular and can be seen in many movies and television programs.

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories, and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realised that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You probably say that they go to learn their own language and English, mathematics, geography (地理), history, science and all the other subjects.
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they grow up and have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they know and understand what others tell them. They learn English in order to be able to benefit from what people in western countries have written and said, and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean. They learn mathematics in order to be able to measure and count things in their daily life, geography in order to know something about the world around them, and history to know something about the human beings they meet every day. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn so that we can continue to learn when we have left school. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do it he does it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, either is unable to do something new or does it badly. The purpose of school, therefore, is not just to teach languages, mathematics, geography, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.
28. In order to make other people from foreign countries understand you, you should learn ________.
A. modern science B. foreign languages
C. geography D. history
29. Nearly all the subjects they learn at school have ________.
A. no use in their future life B. little use in their future life
C. nothing to do with their daily life D. some practical use in their life
30. A person will surely be successful if he really knows ________.
A. how to learn B. some foreign languages
C. something new D. several subjects
31. On the whole, children go to school ________.
A. to learn science and languages B. to learn how to be good students
C. to get ready for their future D. to make new friends
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了孩子们上学的目的不仅仅是学习具体的学科知识,更重要的是学会如何学习,为未来的生活和工作做准备。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They learn English in order to be able to benefit from what people in western countries have written and said, and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean.(他们学习英语,以便能够从西方国家的人们所写和所说的内容中受益,并且为了让其他国家的人理解他们自己的意思。)”可知,为了让来自其他国家的人理解你,你应该学习外语。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to school?(他们在学校学的几乎所有科目在他们的生活中都有实际用途,但这是不是他们上学的唯一原因呢?)”可知,他们在学校学的几乎所有科目都有实际用途。故选D。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they grow up and have to work for themselves.(我们送孩子上学是为了让他们为将来长大后需要自己工作做准备。)”以及第三段中“The purpose of school, therefore, is not just to teach languages, mathematics, geography, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.(因此,学校的目的是不仅教授语言、数学、地理等科目,还要教会学生如何学习。)”可知,孩子们上学的整体目的是为了他们的未来做准备。故选C。

Set rewards for achievements. Taking the kids to the park is such a fun and easy thing to do. Try setting them tasks. If they manage to do all the tasks, allow them a certain amount of TV or gaming time if that's what they like to do!____37____
Find a hobby they enjoy. One of the most important things is to find a healthy hobby that they love.____38____If they enjoy it, encourage and support them to build up their confidence.
Find exercise friends. Perhaps there's a family nearby with kids the same age. See if they would like to exercise together.____39____Besides, it sets a level of cooperation where you can't let the other family down. It's also a good excuse for a coffee and a chat with the mum or dad afterwards.
____40____It can be easy to want your child to be the best but it's all about them having fun with fitness. Support them, but don't pressure them too much, or it might backfire!

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了南京高中的学生在一家养老院做志愿活动的经历和学生们的感受。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:上周末,南京高中的学生在当地一家养老院做志愿者,给老人们带来了欢乐,也让他们的一天变得更加愉快。这里泛指当地的一家养老院,且local的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这家养老院位于一个住宅区,有150多名老年人,其中一些人已经90多岁了。本句的谓语是has,所以空处应用非谓语动词。The nursing home和locate之间是动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填located。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。这里是“介词+关系词”引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是指人的more than 150 senior citizens,所以用whom引导。故填whom。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意:虽然这是许多学生第一次参加这样的志愿者项目,但他们渴望与居民分享各种有趣的话题,比如如何使用手机和上网。It was the first time (that)...意为“这是第一次……”,为固定句型,从句应用过去完成时。故填had taken。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。be eager to do sth.意为“渴望做某事”。故填to share。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意:午餐后,居民和年轻志愿者们通过包括国画和书法在内的艺术活动来娱乐自己。主语和宾语都是指the residents and the young volunteers,所以用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们非常喜欢彼此的陪伴,16岁的苏明说,他希望定期回到养老院,与和他交朋友的老年人共度时光。空前有“each other’s”,空处应用名词。company意为“陪伴”,为不可数名词。故填company。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意参考上题。make friends with意为“和……交朋友”。故填with。
【64题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:我担心学生和老年居民相处不好,但事实恰恰相反。I和concern(让……担忧)之间是被动关系,且根据“wouldn’t get along”和“turned out”可知,这里指过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was concerned。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。“I ___9___(concern) that the students and the senior residents wouldn’t get along easily”和“it turned out to be the exact opposite”前后之间是转折关系,应用but或yet。故填but/yet。

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents,
“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】Paragraph 1:
At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness.
Paragraph 2:
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories, and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realised that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

A. Because of excitement and curiosity.
B. Because of the school’s welcoming atmosphere.
C. Because of fear of the unfamiliar environment.
D. Because of good preparations for the new school.
25. Which words can best describe the English teacher?
A. Generous and powerful. B. Responsible and patient.
C. Inspiring and friendly. D. Outgoing and warm-hearted.
26. How did the author feel when entering the maths class?
A. Excited. B. Anxious. C. Relaxed. D. Confident.
27. What did the author realise during lunchtime?
A. High school only focused on studying.
B High school was an extremely challenging place.
C. High school was full of old friends and classmates.
D. High school was also about wonderful social experiences.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You probably say that they go to learn their own language and English, mathematics, geography (地理), history, science and all the other subjects.
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they grow up and have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they know and understand what others tell them. They learn English in order to be able to benefit from what people in western countries have written and said, and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean. They learn mathematics in order to be able to measure and count things in their daily life, geography in order to know something about the world around them, and history to know something about the human beings they meet every day. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn so that we can continue to learn when we have left school. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do it he does it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, either is unable to do something new or does it badly. The purpose of school, therefore, is not just to teach languages, mathematics, geography, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.
28. In order to make other people from foreign countries understand you, you should learn ________.
A. modern science B. foreign languages
C. geography D. history
29. Nearly all the subjects they learn at school have ________.
A. no use in their future life B. little use in their future life
C. nothing to do with their daily life D. some practical use in their life
30 A person will surely be successful if he really knows ________.
A. how to learn B. some foreign languages
C. something new D. several subjects
31. On the whole, children go to school ________.
A. to learn science and languages B. to learn how to be good students
C. to get ready for their future D. to make new friends
D

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents,
“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday.
