Here are some tips for planting carrots. Knowledge before planting As a general rule, carrots are planted in early spring as soon as the soil is workable or 3-5 weeks before the last frost (霜) date. Carrots will do well in full sun. The growing days to harvest (收获) are about 55 to 65 days from seeds. Process of planting Step 1: Use a hoe, a gardening tool with a long handle, to loosen (松) the soil. Make sure the water can go well. Step 2: Dig shallow furrows (浅沟) in the soil, 1/4 inch (英寸) deep and one foot apart if you are planting more than one row of carrots. Step 3: Put the tiny carrot seeds two or three inches apart, about 1/4 inch deep, and cover lightly with soil. Step 4: Press down lightly on the soil to make sure that the seeds and the soil touch well. ※ 1 foot=30 cm 1 inch=2.5 cm Notes after planting **Give the plants about one inch of water per week. **Thin the carrot plants. When they reach two inches tall, thin them to one inch apart by pulling the small ones. **Harvest. The bigger and longer they grow, the sweeter and juicier they become. You can harvest them as long as they grow big enough to eat. 16. What can we know about carrots before planting? A. They grow well in hot weather. B. They can be harvested in about two months. C. They don’t need too much sunshine. D. They are grown 3-5 weeks after the frost. 17. What does the underlined word “hoe” refer to? A. B. C. D. 18.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了种植胡萝卜的相关知识，包括种植前的了解、种植过程以及种植后的注意事项。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a general rule, carrots are planted in early spring as soon as the soil is workable or 3-5 weeks before the last frost (霜) date. Carrots will do well in full sun. The growing days to harvest (收获) are about 55 to 65 days from seeds.”可知，胡萝卜从种子到收获大约需要55到65天，也就是大约两个月可以收获。故选B。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“a gardening tool with a long handle, to loosen (松) the soil.”可知，用一把带有长柄的园艺工具锄头来翻松土壤。因此“hoe”是一种有长柄的园艺工具，用来松土。选项C图片符合描述。故选C。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When they reach two inches tall, thin them to one inch apart by pulling the small ones.”以及“1 inch=2.5 cm”可知，当胡萝卜长到两英寸 (约5厘米) 高时，进行间苗。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The bigger and longer they grow, the sweeter and juicier they become. You can harvest them as long as they grow big enough to eat.”可知，胡萝卜长得越大越长，就越甜越多汁，所以如果想得到更甜的胡萝卜，不要过早收获。故选D。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕种植胡萝卜展开，介绍了种植胡萝卜的相关知识，最有可能在关于蔬菜种植的板块读到这篇文章，“http://www.gardening.com/vegetables/”符合。故选D。 B In a small village, there lived a famous old carpenter (木匠). People traveled from far and wide to buy his furniture (家具). One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man was quite pleased with his results and thought, “I have learned how to make furniture. And soon I’ll make it as well as the carpenter and even faster than him.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the young man a rough (粗糙的) board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The young man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “ ▲ Try again.” With less patience, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He made himself calm down and wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skills but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind. Life is like this: a successful person moves forward step by step. 21. What did the young man think of the old carpenter in the beginning? A. The old carpenter worked slowly. B. The old carpenter made him feel tired. C. The old carpenter didn’t understand him. D. The old carpenter taught him impatiently. 22. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A. It is a good job. B. Be careful enough. C. It is too easy for you. D. It is not smooth enough. 23. Which of the following shows the change of the young man’s feelings? A. Satisfied→hopeful→sad→calm→understanding. B. Happy→worried→tired→sad→disappointed. C. Loved→sad→relaxed→excited→satisfied. D. Sad→excited→hopeful→worried→happy. 24. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The young man gave up his dream. B. The young man left the old man at last. C. The young man learned an important lesson. D. The young man took good care of the old man. 25. What is the main idea of the text? A. How the two carpenters sanded the board. B. Why the old carpenter’s furniture sold well. C. How the old carpenter taught the young man. D. Why the young man visited the old carpenter. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. A 24. C 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位年轻木匠向老木匠学习时，因急于求成而受挫，最终领悟到耐心和细致的重要性。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“the young man…thought, ‘I have learned how to make furniture. And soon I’ll make it as well as the carpenter and even faster than him.’”可推知，起初，这个年轻人认为老木匠速度慢。故选A。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He then handed the young man a rough (粗糙的) board and said, ‘Make this board smooth.’”和“The old carpenter felt the board and said, ‘...Try again.’”可推知，老木匠认为木板打磨得不够光滑，所以要求年轻人再次尝试。选项D“它不够光滑。”符合语境。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“was quite pleased with his results and thought, ‘...And soon I’ll make it as well as the carpenter and even faster than him.’”、第五段“Feeling sad...He made himself calm down”和最后一段“The young man understood that...”可知，这个年轻人的情感变化是：对自己的成果很满意→充满希望→感到难过→冷静下来→领悟到木工的真谛。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You have learned an important lesson”和“The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind.”可知，这个年轻人学到了重要的一课。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕老木匠通过打磨木板的实践教导年轻人耐心的重要性展开，重点描述教学过程而非结果。选项C“老木匠如何教导年轻人”最贴合主旨。故选C。 C ①When we are babies, we laugh when our parents make funny faces. As we get older, we learn to joke with others to make them laugh. But is playing a trick on others only human behavior? Is laughter only for humans? Scientists have carried out the research on animal behavior. ②Charles Darwin and Marc Bekoff study dogs. Charles thought dogs have their ways to joke, like letting people get close to their toys and then run away with the toys. Marc also noticed that dogs often tease each other. One moves closer to another slowly and then quickly backs away. He thinks dogs do this to have fun. ③In a 2024 study, Isabelle and her team watched apes (猿) playing. They found 18 different teasing actions. For example, young apes would walk behind an adult quietly, quickly touch them, and then watch their reaction (反应). This is like how human children play. So, humor might have started long ago in our species (物种). ④Other scientists also found that some animals can make a sound like laughter. Dogs sometimes do it by breathing out quickly through their noses. Dolphins make happy sounds when they play. Scientists even found that mice make a sound like laughter when they are tickled (挠痒). ⑤According to the research, does the animal’s laughter really mean it has a sense of humor? Are the apes really joking or just trying to get attention? So far, the scientists have not given a clear answer. “In humans, humor helps make friends, solve problems, and bring people closer.” Isabelle said, “We’re not sure if this is true for animals, but it’s possible.” 26. What does the underlined word “tease” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. To greet someone. B. To play a joke on someone. C. To help someone. D. To look up to someone. 27. What did Isabelle and her team find in their 2024 study? A. Dogs make sounds like laughter. B. Apes have 18 different teasing actions. C. Mice laugh when tickled. D. Dolphins make happy sounds. 28. How does the author organize Paragraph 4? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C By asking questions. D. By showing examples. 29 Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. Similarities between Humans and Animals B. How to Have a Sense of Humor? C. Humor and Laughter: Only for Humans? D. Animals’ Playful Behaviors 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“幽默和笑声是否为人类特有行为”展开，介绍了多项科学研究。最后指出，科学家尚未明确动物的这些行为是否代表它们具有幽默感，仅推测存在这种可能性。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Charles thought dogs have their ways to joke”可知，Charles认为狗有自己开玩笑的方式；结合后文“Marc also noticed that dogs often tease each other.”可知，这里的“also”表明前后内容是并列关系，说明“tease”和前文的“joke”是近义关联。结合选项可知，“tease”意为“to play a joke on someone”（跟某人开玩笑）。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In a 2024 study, Isabelle and her team watched apes (猿) playing. They found 18 different teasing actions.”可知，Isabelle及其团队在2024年的研究发现了猿的18种逗弄动作。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dogs sometimes do it by breathing out quickly through their noses. Dolphins make happy sounds when they play...mice make a sound like laughter when they are tickled (挠痒).”可知，第四段作者列举了狗、海豚、老鼠等不同动物发出类似笑声的例子，由此可见该段采用举例子的方式展开说明。故选D。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提出问题；第二至四段分别举例说明狗、猿以及其他动物的行为与笑声；第五段针对前文的研究进行总结，指出科学家尚未得出明确结论，仅提出可能性的推测。文章为“总—分—总”结构。故选A。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。全文重点探讨“幽默和笑声是否只属于人类”这一问题，故最佳标题是“幽默与笑声：只为人类所独有吗？”。故选C。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 There are many situations where we need to write a thank-you note, such as after a job interview or to express your thanks after someone has given you a hand. ____31____ Even if you didn’t ask for the gift or already said thanks when receiving it, writing a thank-you note is still necessary. Now it’s time to get down to how to write a thank-you note. ____32____ Three or four sentences are fine. But it must mention the gift and show your thanks for the giver’s time and thought. It means you should let the giver know that you appreciate (感激) the effort they put into choosing the gift. ____33____. If you use words like “really amazing” which you don’t usually say, it will seem insincere (不真诚的). Try to use the same tone (语气) as when you talk to the person face-to-face. This can make your note more sincere and friendly. Expressing your appreciation for the giver themselves is very effective. Mention something specific (具体的) about that person that you like and are thankful for. For example, you can write. “ ____34____ ” This can make the giver feel that you really care about them. Just as you show your excitement for an event when replying, you can keep that excitement going after the event too. Don’t put it off. ____35____ This shows that you value your relationship, which is more important than any gift. So end by mentioning the next time you might meet them. A. The note doesn’t need to be long. B. Write the note as soon as possible. C. Your kindness to others has always moved me. D. This lets the giver know you received the gift. E. What you write should be like your own words. F. But the most common situation is after getting a gift. 【答案】31. F 32. A 33. E 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了写感谢信的多种情况以及如何写感谢信的方法。 【31题详解】 根据“There are many situations where we need to write a thank-you note, such as after a job interview or to express your thanks after someone has given you a hand.”以及后文对收到礼物后写感谢信的着重阐述可知，前面应引出最常见的写感谢信的情况，选项F“但最常见的情况是收到礼物后。”符合语境。故选F。 【32题详解】 根据“Now it’s time to get down to how to write a thank-you note.”以及“Three or four sentences are fine.”可知，前文引出写感谢信的方法，后文提到感谢信三到四句话就行，此处应说明感谢信不需要长，选项A“感谢信不需要长。”符合语境。故选A。 【33题详解】 根据“If you use words like ‘really amazing’ which you don’t usually say, it will seem insincere (不真诚的). Try to use the same tone (语气) as when you talk to the person face-to-face.”可知，这里强调写感谢信时用词要像自己平时说的话，不然会显得不真诚，选项E“你写的内容应该像你自己的话。”符合语境。故选E。 【34题详解】 根据“Expressing your appreciation for the giver themselves is very effective.

When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. Mother would be waiting for me at the table. One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to act the princess (公主) in the school play. But no matter how easily and well I performed at home, the moment I stepped onstage (上台), no words appeared in my mind. That morning my teacher talked with me. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I said nothing at lunch. But my mother sensed my upset. After lunch, she asked me to walk in the yard with her. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass as well. “I’m going to dig up all these dandelions,” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.” “Yes, every flower has value in its own way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people, too.” Realizing that she had understood, I told her what had happened while crying. She spread her arms and hugged me kindly, “Not being a princess isn’t bad.” Soon she proudly said, “Just as all parts in a play are important, so are all people in life. You will be a beautiful narrator in my eyes.” 46. How far was the author’s primary school from her house? _________________________________________________________________ (不超过8词) 47.

People traveled from far and wide to buy his furniture (家具). One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man was quite pleased with his results and thought, “I have learned how to make furniture. And soon I’ll make it as well as the carpenter and even faster than him.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the young man a rough (粗糙的) board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The young man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “ ▲ Try again.” With less patience, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He made himself calm down and wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skills but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind. Life is like this: a successful person moves forward step by step. 21. What did the young man think of the old carpenter in the beginning? A The old carpenter worked slowly. B.

C ①When we are babies, we laugh when our parents make funny faces. As we get older, we learn to joke with others to make them laugh. But is playing a trick on others only human behavior? Is laughter only for humans? Scientists have carried out the research on animal behavior. ②Charles Darwin and Marc Bekoff study dogs. Charles thought dogs have their ways to joke, like letting people get close to their toys and then run away with the toys. Marc also noticed that dogs often tease each other. One moves closer to another slowly and then quickly backs away. He thinks dogs do this to have fun. ③In a 2024 study, Isabelle and her team watched apes (猿) playing. They found 18 different teasing actions. For example, young apes would walk behind an adult quietly, quickly touch them, and then watch their reaction (反应). This is like how human children play. So, humor might have started long ago in our species (物种). ④Other scientists also found that some animals can make a sound like laughter Dogs sometimes do it by breathing out quickly through their noses. Dolphins make happy sounds when they play. Scientists even found that mice make a sound like laughter when they are tickled (挠痒). ⑤According to the research, does the animal’s laughter really mean it has a sense of humor? Are the apes really joking or just trying to get attention? So far, the scientists have not given a clear answer. “In humans, humor helps make friends, solve problems, and bring people closer.” Isabelle said, “We’re not sure if this is true for animals, but it’s possible.” 26. What does the underlined word “tease” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. To greet someone. B. To play a joke on someone. C. To help someone. D. To look up to someone. 27. What did Isabelle and her team find in their 2024 study? A. Dogs make sounds like laughter. B. Apes have 18 different teasing actions. C. Mice laugh when tickled. D. Dolphins make happy sounds. 28. How does the author organize Paragraph 4? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. D. By showing examples. 29. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. Similarities between Humans and Animals B. How to Have a Sense of Humor? C. Humor and Laughter: Only for Humans? D.

Now it’s time to get down to how to write a thank-you note. ____32____ Three or four sentences are fine. But it must mention the gift and show your thanks for the giver’s time and thought. It means you should let the giver know that you appreciate (感激) the effort they put into choosing the gift. ____33____.

This can make your note more sincere and friendly. Expressing your appreciation for the giver themselves is very effective. Mention something specific (具体的) about that person that you like and are thankful for. For example, you can write. “ ____34____ ” This can make the giver feel that you really care about them. Just as you show your excitement for an event when replying, you can keep that excitement going after the event too. Don’t put it off. ____35____ This shows that you value your relationship, which is more important than any gift. So end by mentioning the next time you might meet them. A The note doesn’t need to be long. B. Write the note as soon as possible. C. Your kindness to others has always moved me. D. This lets the giver know you received the gift. E. What you write should be like your own words. F.

I had been picked to act the princess (公主) in the school play. But no matter how easily and well I performed at home, the moment I stepped onstage (上台), no words appeared in my mind.

Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I said nothing at lunch. But my mother sensed my upset. After lunch, she asked me to walk in the yard with her. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass as well. “I’m going to dig up all these dandelions,” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.” “Yes, every flower has value in its own way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people, too.” Realizing that she had understood, I told her what had happened while crying. She spread her arms and hugged me kindly, “Not being a princess isn’t bad.” Soon she proudly said, “Just as all parts in a play are important, so are all people in life.
