Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤). There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong. Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, so they can be safe in Zhalong. Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird Watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国重要的湿地自然保护区——扎龙自然保护区，包括其生态功能、面临的威胁以及相关的保护行动，旨在唤起人们对野生动物及其栖息地的保护意识。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes...”及“There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world.”可知，丹顶鹤在世界上的数量不多，因此“rare”在此处意为“稀有的、珍贵的”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Zhalong is a nature reserve...”及“It is one of the world’s most important wetlands.”可知，扎龙是重要湿地，但并未说中国到处都有湿地。选项A与文章内容不符。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope the information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.”可知，该段主要目的是通过提供信息，帮助人们了解并采取行动保护野生动物。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，本文围绕扎龙自然保护区的生态环境、鸟类生存状况及保护措施展开，属于自然与地理相关内容。故选A。 D ①When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as beneficial (有益的) as reading a book? ②Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. ③But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it. ④In another experiment, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does. ⑤However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking (处理多个任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 37. Compared to reading paper books, listening to audiobooks ________. A. helps us save money B. helps us give our eyes a break C. needs to find time and a place to sit down D. needs to focus all our attention on the books 38. What does the underlined word “recalled” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. lost. B. remembered. C. created. D. spoke. 39. What can we conclude from those experiments? A. People’s brains work better if they listen to books. B. Listening to books makes people become smarter. C. People need to read and listen to books at the same time. D. Listening to books has the same effect (效果) as reading them. 40. What is the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】37. B 38. B 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了有声书与传统纸质书的比较，通过实验和科学研究说明有声书在知识获取和大脑激活方面与阅读纸质书效果相当，同时也提到在多重任务处理时可能影响学习效果。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too”可知，听有声书可以让眼睛得到休息。故选B。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information...”可知，两组志愿者分别听有声书和阅读纸质书，他们“回忆起”了相同数量的信息。因此“recalled”意为“记起，回想起”。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段实验“they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it”和第四段实验“listening to audiobooks activates almost the same parts of the brain as reading does”可得出结论：听有声书与阅读纸质书在获取信息和大脑激活方面效果相当。故选D。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段引出话题“有声书是否与阅读纸质书一样有益”；第二段比较有声书与纸质书的便利性；第三、四段通过实验说明两者在信息获取和大脑激活方面效果相似；第五段转折指出在多重任务处理时听有声书可能影响学习效果。整体结构为“引出话题-比较优点-实验证明-补充限制”，符合“总-分-分-转”的结构，即①/②/③④/⑤。故选C。 第II卷 非选择题(45分) 阅读理解 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下面问题，并将答案写入答题卡相应位置。 As the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” Now everyone can go on a trip at any time if they want to. It’s a good choice to relax by travelling. Besides, travelling is one of the best ways to learn. Centuries ago, some famous people had already travelled around China and they got a lot from travelling. Xu Xiake, a geographer and writer in Ming Dynasty, spent more than thirty years on the road four hundred years ago. Xu Xiake travelled around China alone and he met with many difficulties on the road. But he never stopped travelling and writing. Xu Xiake was on the road all his life, and his travel notes covered as much as his knowledge. His 600,000-word travel notes The Travels of Xu Xiake finally came out in 1776. The book provides important information for understanding Ming Dynasty society and culture. Marco Polo was a businessman born in 1254 in Italy. In 1271, Marco Polo with his father and uncle had a dream to visit China. They met bad weather, dangerous animals and other difficulties on their way. Finally, they reached Shangdu in Inner Mongolia in 1275. Kublai Khan (忽必烈) gave them a warm welcome and took them to Dadu (now Beijing). In 1295, he went back to Italy with some silk, tea, paper and other goods. Marco Polo wrote his hard journey into The Travels of Marco Polo. Medieval (中世纪) readers fell in love with Polo’s wonderful descriptions of amazing Asian countries. 41. What advantages of travelling are mentioned in paragraph 1? (列举两点) ___________________________________________________________ 42. What does the book The Travels of Xu Xiake provide? ___________________________________________________________ 43. When did Marco Polo finally reach China? ___________________________________________________________ 44. Why did medieval readers like The Travels of Marco Polo? ___________________________________________________________ 45. What have you learned from Xu Xiake and Marco Polo? (开放性问题，观点合理即可) ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. Travelling is a good choice to relax and it is one of the best ways to learn. 42. The book provides important information for understanding Ming Dynasty society and culture. 43. In 1275, Marco Polo finally reached China. 44. Because medieval readers liked Polo’s wonderful descriptions of amazing Asian countries. 45. I have learned that perseverance is important. Neither of them gave up in the face of many difficulties during their journeys. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过介绍徐霞客和马可·波罗的旅行经历，阐述了旅行的益处，并展现了两位历史人物在旅行中体现出的探索精神与坚韧品质。 【41题详解】 根据“It’s a good choice to relax by travelling. Besides, travelling is one of the best ways to learn.”可知，旅行的两大益处是放松身心和获取知识。故填Travelling is a good choice to relax and it is one of the best ways to learn. 【42题详解】 根据“The book provides important information for understanding Ming Dynasty society and culture.”可知，《徐霞客游记》为理解明代社会与文化提供了重要信息。故填The book provides important information for understanding Ming Dynasty society and culture. 【43题详解】 根据“Finally, they reached Shangdu in Inner Mongolia in 1275.”可知，马可·波罗于1275年到达中国。故填In 1275, Marco Polo finally reached China. 【44题详解】 根据“Medieval readers fell in love with Polo’s wonderful descriptions of amazing Asian countries.”可知，中世纪读者喜爱《马可·波罗游记》是因为其中对亚洲国家的精彩描述。故填Because medieval readers liked Polo’s wonderful descriptions of amazing Asian countries. 【45题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身理由，合理作答即可。故填I have learned that perseverance is important. Neither of them gave up in the face of many difficulties during their journeys. 第五部分 用所给词的适当形式填空(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成句子，每空仅限1个单词。 46.

(few) 【答案】fewer 【解析】 【详解】句意：你越细心，你犯错误就越少。few“少的”，根据“The more careful..., the...”可知，本题考查“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，意为“越……越……”，mistakes为可数名词复数，表示“更少的错误”应使用few的比较级fewer。故填fewer。 47. Exercise like playing basketball and soccer usually ________ us stronger and stronger. (make) 【答案】makes 【解析】 【详解】句意：像打篮球和踢足球这样的运动通常会使我们变得越来越强壮。make“使，让”，根据“usually”可知，句子时态是一般现在时，主语是“Exercise like playing basketball and soccer”，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式makes。故填makes。 48. Chinese family members always like to get together, ________ during the Spring Festival. (especial) 【答案】especially 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国的家庭成员总是喜欢聚在一起，尤其是在春节期间。especial“特别的”，此处需要用副词形式especially“尤其，特别”，作状语，表示进一步强调在春节期间这个特殊的时间点。故填especially。 49. I’ve read a lot of books and this is the ________ book I have read this year. (twelve) 【答案】twelfth 【解析】 【详解】句意：我读过很多书，这是我今年读的第十二本书。twelve“十二”，空格前有定冠词“the”，且后有名词“book”，应填入序数词表示顺序，twelve的序数词为twelfth。故填twelfth。 50. We have no ________ but to give up the plan. What a pity! (choose) 【答案】choice 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们别无选择，只能放弃这个计划。真遗憾！choose“选择”，是动词，固定搭配“have no choice but to do sth.”表示“别无选择只能做某事”，所以此处应该用名词choice。故填choice。 51. John has been learning Chinese for two ________ and he finds it fun to speak Chinese with local people. (month) 【答案】months 【解析】 【详解】句意：约翰已经学了两个月的中文了，他发现和当地人说中文很有趣。根据“two”可知，此处需要用可数名词的复数形式，来表示“两个月”的时长。month的复数形式是直接在词尾加-s。故填months。 52. If you are not feeling well, you’d better ________ the doctor at once. (see) 【答案】see 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你感觉不舒服，你最好马上去看医生。根据“you’d better...”可知，此处是“had better do sth.”最好做某事，后面接动词原形。故填see。 53. In many countries, ________ rubbish or leaving it behind is impolite. (drop) 【答案】dropping 【解析】 【详解】句意：在许多国家，乱扔垃圾或把它留在原地是不礼貌的。括号内给出动词“drop”，其与后文“or leaving it behind”并列，两者共同作主语。动词原形不能直接作主语，需改为动名词形式“dropping”，使其与“leaving”并列构成动名词短语作主语。故填dropping。 54. He made a mistake, but then he ________ the situation before it got worse. (correct) 【答案】corrected 【解析】 【详解】句意：他犯了个错误，但随后在事态恶化之前纠正了局面。correct“改正”，空格处为谓语动词，根据“made”及“before it got worse”可知，应使用一般过去时，动词correct的过去式为corrected。故填corrected。 55. Australia is the fifth ________ country after Russia, Canada, the US and Brazil. (large) 【答案】largest 【解析】 【详解】句意：澳大利亚是继俄罗斯、加拿大、美国、巴西之后的第五大国。large“大的”，根据“the fifth...country”可知，此处表达“第五大国”，因此应使用“the+序数词+形容词最高级”结构，表示“第几大……”，large的最高级形式为largest。故填largest。 第六部分 短文填空(共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章通顺连贯。注意每词仅用一次，方框中有两个词为多余选项。 hit possible advice work quick dangerous but stop for they thousand slow This is a story about what a father did in an earthquake. An 8.2 earthquake ____56____ the city in 1989. In less than four minutes, it killed ____57____ of people. Right away, a father rushed to his son’s school, ____58____ he sadly found the building had come down. The man almost broke down. He remembered what he always said to his son “No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!”. He rushed to the back right corner of the building and started digging (挖) through the stones. When he ____59____ in piles of stones, other helpless parents arrived. They said, “It’s too late! They’re all dead! It’s ____60____ for you to save him!” He answered, “Are you going to help me or not?” No one joined him. The firemen and police also came and told him ____61____. “There are big fires. You’re in great ____62____. We’ll take care of it.” To them, he said again, “Are you going to help me now?” No one knew what to say. His fingers were hurt badly, but he dug even ____63____. For a long time, he kept digging for his son. Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son shouting ____64____ help. The man called his son’s name excitedly, “Peter!” Soon he heard back, “Dad? It’s me! I knew you would save me! You did it!” Everyone was surprised and moved. They said to ____65____, “Nothing is too hard for a loving father.” Sometimes, love can help us complete the most difficult work. 【答案】56. hit 57. thousands 58. but 59. was working 60. impossible 61. to stop 62. danger 63. more quickly 64. for 65. themselves 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位父亲在1989年大地震后，坚守对儿子的承诺，不顾他人劝阻，徒手挖掘废墟长达38小时，最终成功救出儿子的感人故事，歌颂了父爱的伟大。 【56题详解】 句意：1989年，一场8.2级的地震袭击了这座城市。根据“An 8.2 earthquake ... in 1989.”可知，本句的时态为一般过去时，空处缺少动词。因此用hit“袭击”，“hit”的过去式与原形一致。故填hit。 【57题详解】 句意：在不到四分钟的时间里，它就夺去了成千上万人的生命。“thousands of”意为“成千上万的”，固定搭配。故填thousands。 【58题详解】 句意：一位父亲立刻冲向他儿子的学校，但他悲伤地发现，教学楼已经倒塌了。根据“a father rushed to his son’s school ... he sadly found the building had come down.”可知，前后句为转折关系。因此用转折连词but“但是”。故填but。 【59题详解】 句意：当他正在一堆堆的碎石中奋力挖掘时，其他无助的父母来了。根据“When he ... in piles of stones, other helpless parents arrived.”可知，本句的时态为过去进行时，空处缺少动词。因此用was working“正在工作”。故填was working。 【60题详解】 句意：他们说：“太晚了！他们都死了！你不可能救出他的！”根据“They said, ‘It’s too late! They’re all dead! It’s ... for you to save him!’”可知，其他父母认为孩子们都死了，这位父亲“不可能”救出儿子。因此用impossible“不可能的”。故填impossible。 【61题详解】 句意：消防员和警察也来了，告诉他停下来。根据“The firemen and police also came and told him...”可知，消防员和警察告诉这位父亲“停下来”。“tell sb. to do sth.”意为“告诉某人做某事”，固定搭配。因此用stop“停止”，此处需用不定式形式“to stop”。故填to stop。 【62题详解】 句意：这里有大火，你的处境非常危险，我们会处理的。根据“There are big fires. You’re in great...”可知，空处缺少名词。“in great danger”意为“处于巨大的危险中”，因此用danger“危险”。故填danger。 【63题详解】 句意：他的手指受了重伤，但他却挖得更快了。根据“His fingers were hurt badly, but he dug even...”可知，空处缺少副词。因此用quickly“快地”，“even”后常用比较级。故填more quickly。 【64题详解】 句意：在第38个小时，他搬开一块大石头，听到他的儿子正在呼喊救命。“shout”后接“for help”是固定搭配，意为“呼喊救命”。故填for。 【65题详解】 句意：他们对自己说：“对于一个充满爱心的父亲来说，没有什么事是太困难的。”根据“They said to ... ‘Nothing is too hard for a loving father.’”可知，主语是“They”，动词“said to”后接反身代词“themselves”，表示“对他们自己说”。因此用themselves“他们自己”。故填themselves。 第七部分 书面表达(10分) 66. 假如你是李明，你的英国朋友Mike给你发了一封电子邮件，请认真阅读并用英语回复。 Dear Li Ming, I’m going to China as an exchange (交换生) student this winter holiday to experience different ways of life.

B On the way home from school, Sally walked with her friend Jun. Jun moved from South Korea to the United States two years earlier. Sally taught him some English phrases and showed him where to get the best hamburgers. He helped her with her math homework and taught her how to use chopsticks. “I really want to win the spelling bee,” Sally told Jun. “But I don’t think I can do it. I get nervous in competitions, and I’m not the best speller! Ms. Charlton circled three or four spelling mistakes in my last story.” “All you need to do is practice,” Jun said. “When I first came to the United States, I didn’t know any English at all. But I made flashcards and studied every night. Now listen to me! I speak pretty well, right?” “That’s true,” said Sally. “We have one week until the competition (比赛). You have a chance,” Jun said, “but you’ll have to work hard.” Sally thought about it. She had hoped to spend the weekend playing with her friends, but a trophy (奖杯) would be fantastic. Her mother would be so proud. “OK,” she said, “I’ll give it a try.” Sally woke up early on Saturday morning. She packed a sandwich and put her notebook and a pencil in her bag. She found a word book and walked to the park. She put a blanket under an old tree. She took a bite of her sandwich, drank some apple juice, and started studying. “Bagel,” Sally practised. “B-A-G-E-L. Raisin, R-A-I-S-I-N. Dandelion, D-A-N-D...” She frowned (皱眉) and checked her word book. “What a catastrophe!” she thought. “C-A-T-A-S...” This was hard work! 29.

C Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in Northeast China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands (湿地). The area provides food and shelter (栖息地) for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds. Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤). There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong. Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, so they can be safe in Zhalong. Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird Watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds. Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope the information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife. 33. What does the underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. uncommon and valuable B. strange and cute C famous and special D. shy and beautiful 34. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. There are wetlands everywhere in China. B. Some birds go to Zhalong for a short stay. C. Zhalong Nature Reserve is a comfortable home for many birds. D. Birds can find food without difficulty in Zhalong Nature Reserve. 35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Asking people to feed birds in Zhalong. B. Helping people learn about protecting wildlife. C. Telling people how to have a nice trip in wetlands. D. Inviting students all over the world to watch birds. 36. In which part of the magazine may you see this passage? A. Nature and geography. B. Tradition and culture. C. Sports and health. D. Science and technology. D ①When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as beneficial (有益的) as reading a book? ②Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. ③But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it. ④In another experiment, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does. ⑤However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking (处理多个任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 37. Compared to reading paper books, listening to audiobooks ________. A. helps us save money B. helps us give our eyes a break C. needs to find time and a place to sit down D. needs to focus all our attention on the books 38. What does the underlined word “recalled” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. lost. B. remembered. C. created. D. spoke. 39. What can we conclude from those experiments? A. People’s brains work better if they listen to books. B. Listening to books makes people become smarter. C. People need to read and listen to books at the same time. D. Listening to books has the same effect (效果) as reading them. 40. What is the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 第II卷 非选择题(45分) 阅读理解 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下面问题，并将答案写入答题卡相应位置。 As the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” Now everyone can go on a trip at any time if they want to. It’s a good choice to relax by travelling. Besides, travelling is one of the best ways to learn. Centuries ago, some famous people had already travelled around China and they got a lot from travelling.
