Tim 7:20 p.m.|2nd May Here’s a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.” If you keep saying you can’t do something, you might end up unable to.

Alice 9:10 p.m. |3rd May Winston Churchill said, “A negative (消极的) thinker sees the difficulty in every chance; a positive (积极的) thinker sees the chance in every difficulty.” Even if there are problems, there are also great things you can do there that you can’t at home.

US scientists have found a new colour called “olo”. It is a very deep blue-green. Colours come from light. Our eyes and brain work together to see them. Light goes into our eyes and hits the retina (视网膜) at the back. On the retina, there are about 6 million cone cells (视锥细胞). Most of us have three groups of cone cells: S cones for blue, L cones for red, and M cones for green. When light hits the cones, they send “messages” to our brain. The brain then tells us what colour we see. We can see about 10 million colours this way. But all of them fall between ultraviolet light (紫外线) and red light. Olo is outside this colour space, so we can’t see it with just our eyes, said ScienceAlert. In the new study, scientists made olo by using special tools to fire lasers (激光) into five people’s eyes safely. This “woke up” only the M cones. Natural light usually hits all cones, but this was different, said the BBC. The study may open new doors for helping with colour-blindness (色盲), said USA Today. Imagine wearing special glasses that let you see olo every day. Maybe these glasses can help people with colour-blindness enjoy more colours in life, like the bright red of a strawberry or the fresh green of spring leaves. In our daily life, we often forget how amazing our eyes are. When we look at a rainbow or a sunset, thousands of cone cells are working together in less than a second. The new colour olo tells us that the world still has secrets waiting to be discovered. Next time you pick up a crayon or choose a T-shirt, think about the tiny cone cells in your eyes. They are quietly telling your brain, “This is blue,” or “This is red.” And who knows? Maybe one day you will be the scientist who finds another brand-new colour! 24. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The olo light. B. The red light. C. The ultraviolet light. D. The natural light. 25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Your brain tells cone cells in your eyes what colour you’re seeing. B. Olo was first seen in nature by US scientists with just people’s eyes. C. All colours fall between ultraviolet light and red light, including olo. D. Many cone cells often work together when people look at a rainbow. 26. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To warn readers about the danger of ultraviolet light. B. To compare common people with ones with colour-blindness. C. To explain how animals see colours differently from humans. D. To introduce a newly created colour and the science behind it. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了人眼感知颜色的科学原理 (视锥细胞工作机制)，并通过对比常规可见光谱与olo的特殊性，说明了科学实验如何突破人类视觉极限，最后引申到色彩科学的应用前景 (如辅助色盲人群) 与自然奥秘的探索意义。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Natural light usually hits all cones, but this was different”...可知，“this”指代前一句中科学家用激光只激活M视锥细胞的实验方法，即人为制造的“olo光”现象。故选项中“The olo light”最直接对应。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When we look at a rainbow..., thousands of cone cells are working together.”可知，当我们观赏彩虹或落日时，成千上万的视锥细胞协同工作。因此D选项正确。故选D。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕新颜色“olo”的发现，依次说明其特性 (超可见光谱)、科学原理 (视锥细胞工作机制)、实验方法 (激光激活特定视锥细胞) 以及潜在应用 (辅助色盲患者)，属于科普说明文。故D项“介绍新颜色及其背后的科学”最全面。故选D。 C Have you ever thought that seemingly bad events in our lives might actually carry hidden blessings? This idea is what we call the broken umbrella theory. It suggests that every small unlucky moment we are faced with in our daily lives actually has a deeper purpose. Picture this: on a rainy morning, you’re rushing to an important job interview when your umbrella breaks, water soaking your suit. Frustrated (沮丧的) and worried about your appearance, you quickly run into a coffee shop for shelter in a hurry. There, you start a conversation with a stranger, sharing your hobby, work experiences, career goals and so on. To your surprise, this person is a manager at a famous company. Impressed by your passion and excellent working experience, he offers you a well-paid job right away—a far better chance than the interview you might miss. What seems like bad luck suddenly turns into a wonderful surprise. In other words, the broken umbrella theory encourages you to change your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive (积极的) light, we can be less anxious and stop worrying that we can’t manage what’s going on around us. Instead of focusing on small problems that aren’t actually that serious, it helps us learn to see the bigger picture. It also pushes us to find value in the difficulties we face. This way, we become better at dealing with future troubles, thus making us more ready for the future hardships. So, next time you feel yourself becoming worried or frustrated by an inconvenience (麻烦), try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself what you are thankful for the inconvenience. While keeping a positive mindset can go a long way, the broken umbrella theory is not without its disadvantages. Be mindful that if you only focus on positive thoughts, you’re actually stopping yourself from dealing with challenging or tough emotions. You end up just pretending (假装) everything is okay, instead of truly facing and understanding how you really feel. 27. Which of the following is an example of the broken umbrella theory? A. Getting good grades after studying hard. B. Meeting a good friend after missing a plane. C. Becoming friends again after dealing with problems. D. Losing a job because you forgot to wake up on time. 28. How does the broken umbrella theory influence you according to Paragraph 3? A. It helps you avoid small troubles in your daily life. B. It pushes you to think more about future difficulties. C. It makes you feel more worried when facing failures. D. It gets you to think positively when you are in trouble. 29. What may happen if you only care about positive thoughts? A. You may solve difficult problems smoothly. B. You may stay far away from your true feelings. C. You’ll improve your ability when dealing with troubles. D. You’ll discover more value when facing daily difficulties. 30. What is probably the best title for the text? A. Practice Makes Perfect B. Better Late Than Never C. It Never Rains But It Pours D. Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过提出“破伞理论”，阐释了“生活中小挫折可能隐含意外机遇”的哲学观点，并辩证分析了该理论的实践价值与潜在局限。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段举例“雨伞损坏→躲雨进咖啡店→偶遇经理获得好工作”可知，该理论核心是“看似倒霉的小事带来意外好运”。选项中“错过飞机后遇到了好朋友”符合“因小挫折引发积极转折”的逻辑。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In other words, the broken umbrella theory encourages you to change your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive (积极的) light, we can be less anxious and stop worrying that we can’t manage what’s going on around us.”可知，破伞理论鼓励你转变思维模式，以更积极的眼光看待世界。故选D。 29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“if you only focus on positive thoughts... you’re actually stopping yourself from dealing with challenging or tough emotions”可知，过度乐观可能导致逃避真实感受。故选B。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕“坏事件可能隐含转机”展开，强调以积极视角看待挫折。英文谚语“Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining (乌云背后总有一线光芒)”完美呼应这一主题。故选D。 D On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt gave him the task of painting their fence. It was 30 yards long and 3 yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest. Tom began to think of the games that he wanted to play. He knew the boys who were free would soon come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had an idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work. Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you? What a pity!” “Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?” Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the only person that can do it right.” “Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.” “That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down again and started to eat the apple. When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers. Soon Tom had got many new toys, and the fence had three coats of paint. Aunt Polly was so pleased that she gave Tom a big apple! 31. What does the underlined word “surveyed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Imagined. B. Forgot. C. Checked. D. Presented. 32.

A. ①⑤④③② B. ①⑤③④② C. ④①②③⑤ D. ④⑤①②③ 33 Why did other boys want to help Tom paint the fence? A. Because they felt sorry for Tom’s task. B. Because Tom paid them a lot of money. C. Because they thought painting was interesting. D. Because Aunt Polly asked them to do so. 34. How did Tom’s feelings change in the story? A. From sad to worried. B. From excited to calm. C. From relaxed to nervous. D. From bored to cheerful. 35. What can we learn from the story? A. A bit of cleverness can make a difficult job easy. B. It’s not wise to ask others to help with your work. C. Boys should do housework instead of playing games. D. Getting good toys is a necessary part of doing tasks. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了汤姆·索亚被姨妈安排刷篱笆，起初他感到无聊，但通过巧妙地让其他男孩认为刷篱笆是一件有趣的事，最终不仅完成了任务，还得到了许多玩具和姨妈的奖励。故事展现了汤姆的聪明和机智。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest.”可知，汤姆刷完一块木板后，检查了自己的进度，然后坐下来休息。结合上下文，“surveyed”意为“检查”。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest.”、 “‘Oh, please, Tom,’ said Ben. ‘I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.’”、“When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers.”及“Soon Tom had got many new toys, and the fence had three coats of paint.”，事件的正确顺序为：①汤姆刷完一块木板后停下来休息；⑤本恳求汤姆让他刷篱笆并给了他所有的苹果；③比利给了汤姆一个风筝以获得刷篱笆的机会；④约翰尼给了汤姆两个玩具士兵以获得刷篱笆的机会；②篱笆最终刷了三层漆。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“‘This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?’”以及后续男孩们的反应可知，其他男孩想帮汤姆刷篱笆是因为他们认为刷篱笆很有趣。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer.”以及后续汤姆通过巧妙的方法让其他男孩帮他刷篱笆并得到奖励可知，汤姆的情绪从最初的无聊 (因为要刷篱笆) 变为后来的愉快 (因为不仅完成了任务还得到了奖励)。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，汤姆通过聪明的方法让原本枯燥的任务变得有趣，并最终完成了任务还得到了奖励。这告诉我们，一点聪明才智可以让困难的工作变得容易。故选A。 第二卷（非选择题）（共55分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 Success doesn’t happen by chance. Many real ____36____ (成就) come from daily efforts, not luck. Great ____37____ (领导者) often show us the way through their speeches, teaching us to ____38____ (连接) dreams with actions. We can’t just sit around—we must ____39____ (/kri'eit/) chances. Don’t forget to ____40____ (表扬) your progress along the way; it gives you the energy to keep going. 【答案】36. achievements 37. leaders 38. connect 39. create 40. praise 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了成功源于持续努力而非侥幸的核心观点，并指出领导者应以身作则引导人们将梦想付诸行动，同时强调个人应主动创造机遇、及时自我激励，从而保持前进动力的实践哲学。 【36题详解】 句意：许多真正的成就来自于日常的努力，而非运气。根据括号内提示“成就”及前文“Many real”可知，此处需用名词复数形式。achievement“成就”，复数为achievements。故填achievements。 【37题详解】 句意：伟大的领导者常常通过他们的演讲为我们指明道路，教导我们将梦想与行动连接起来。根据括号内提示“领导者”及“Great... often show”可知，此处需用复数名词作主语。leader“领导者”，复数为leaders。故填leaders。 【38题详解】 句意：伟大的领导者常常通过他们的演讲为我们指明道路，教导我们将梦想与行动连接起来。根据括号内提示“连接”及不定式符号“to”可知，此处需用动词原形。connect“连接”。故填connect。 【39题详解】 句意：我们不能只是坐着等待——我们必须创造机会。音标“/kri'eit/”对应的单词为create，意为“创造”，情态动词“must”后跟动词原形。故填create。 【40题详解】 句意：别忘了在此过程中表扬自己的进步；这能给你继续前进的能量。根据括号内提示“表扬”及不定式符号“to”可知，此处需用动词原形。praise“表扬”。故填praise。 B) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 In the past, many students ____41____ (prefer) staying silent in the class, afraid of making mistakes. But smart ____42____ (decide), like practicing daily, can help us improve. When we try to speak bravely, we’ll find we can communicate ____43____ (successful). How about ____44____ (listen) to English every morning? In fact, every small step will ____45____ (shape) a brighter English learning journey. 【答案】41. preferred 42. decisions 43. successfully 44. listening 45. shape 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了勇敢尝试和明智的决定有助于学习英语。 【41题详解】 句意：在过去，许多学生更喜欢在课堂上保持沉默，害怕犯错误。根据“In the past”可知，句子时态是一般过去时，动词要用过去式，prefer过去式是preferred。故填preferred。 【42题详解】 句意：但是明智的决定，比如每天练习，可以帮助我们提高。根据“smart”可知，此处需要一个名词作主语，decide的名词形式是decision，且此处表示不止一个决定，要用复数形式decisions。故填decisions。 【43题详解】 句意：当我们勇敢地尝试说话时，我们会发现我们可以成功地交流。根据“communicate”可知，此处需要一个副词来修饰动词，successful的副词形式是successfully。故填successfully。 【44题详解】 句意：每天早上听英语怎么样？How about doing sth.表示“做某事怎么样”，是固定句型，所以此处要用listen的动名词形式listening。故填listening。 【45题详解】 句意：事实上，每一小步都将塑造一个更光明的英语学习之旅。根据“will”可知，句子时态是一般将来时，其结构是will+动词原形，所以此处用shape的原形。故填shape。 C) 根据所给汉语完成句子，使句子完整正确。 46. 迈克习惯在微信里炫耀他的日常生活。 Mike is used to ________ his daily life on Wechat. 【答案】showing off 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少了“炫耀”，英文表达为show off，be used to doing“习惯做某事”，空处用动名词形式。故填showing off。 47. 那个时候他别无选择，只能严格要求他自己。 He ________ be strict with himself at that time. 【答案】had no choice but to 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空格处表示“别无选择只能”，需用英文固定搭配“have no choice but to do”，表示“除了做……外别无选择”。此处描述过去情况，故用“had”。故填had no choice but to。 48. 有了DeepSeek的帮助，我们毫不费力地处理了许多工作。 With the help of DeepSeek, we had ____________________________ much work. 【答案】no difficulty in dealing with##no difficulty dealing with 【解析】 【详解】对比中英文可知，空格处缺少“毫不费力地处理”；根据空格前“had”可知，此处考查have no difficulty (in) doing sth.“做某事毫不费力”，固定搭配，介词in可以省略；deal with“处置”，动词短语，其中deal应用动名词形式dealing。故填no difficulty in dealing with/no difficulty dealing with。 49. 我想知道这首歌是否会使你想起阳光明媚的一天。 I wonder whether the song can ____________________________ a bright sunny day. 【答案】remind you of 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“使你想起”，其英文表达为“remind sb. of...”，固定短语；情态动词“can”后接动词原形，“you”为“remind”的宾语。故填remind you of。 50. 我们相信你会凭借努力而取得成功。 We believe that you will achieve success ____________________________. 【答案】through hard work 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空格处表示“凭借努力”，through表示方式、手段。hard work“艰苦的工作”作through的宾语。故填through hard work。 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第71-78小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，回答79-80两个问题， 注意：71-78每个空格只填1个单词。 One of the biggest challenges in trying to achieve any personal goal is that you put them off until tomorrow, or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to achieve a goal, you have to start on it today. Let’s learn some ways.  One goal at a time. Often the problem is that you try to take on too many goals at once. You have a lot of things you want to complete. Even two goals at once is difficult. For now, one goal at a time. Once that’s finished, you can go to the next one. Make sure you really want it.  Make sure you really want it. It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you set this goal, and how much time you need to spend on it. That’s important to do early, or you won’t make time for it.  Keep it simple. It’s important not to make your personal goal too big. You don’t want to have a huge list of things to do. Instead, focus (关注) on a smaller sub-goal that will lead you to your bigger goal. Another way is to focus first on creating a habit leading you to your goal. For example, focus on forming the habit of walking each day. Once you’ve formed that habit, focus on drinking only water and then on eating fruits instead of junk snacks. And so on, until you’ve reached your goal.  Stay focused. One of the most challenging things to achieve goals is keeping your focus on that goal. You may be attracted by other things, and when you lose focus, you suddenly stop making time for the goal. Therefore, you had better put a poster on your wall, or make your goal your computer desktop picture. Also you can tell others about it and have them help you achieve your goal. How to Make the Time for Your Personal Goals What makes it ____51____ for you to achieve your goal is that you choose to put it off. However, time ____52____ for no man. Please start on your goal right now. Setting a goal at a time  You should ____53____ taking on too many goals at once.  Once you complete one goal, you can go to the next one. Making sure the goal is exactly what you want  Be sure to know the ____54____ for setting this goal and how long it takes you to achieve the goal.  You won’t make time for it ____55____ you do it early. Keeping it easy to reach  Begin with the ____56____ goals and develop a habit that will lead you to your goal step by step. ____57____ focused on it  Put your goal where you can see it ____58____ in order not to be attracted by something else.  Tell others about your goal and ask them to encourage you. Your ideas: （每道题目回答词数不多于20词） What goal do you want to achieve the most this year? _____________________________59_____________________________ What will you do to achieve it? _____________________________60_____________________________ 【答案】51. difficult##hard 52. waits 53. avoid 54. reason##reasons 55. unless 56. smallest 57. Staying 58. easily 59. I want to achieve good grades in my exams. 60. I will make a study plan and stick to it. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲述了实现个人目标时面临的最大挑战之一是拖延，以及如何为个人目标腾出时间的方法，包括一次设定一个目标、确保目标是自己真正想要的、保持目标简单易行以及保持专注等。 51题详解】 根据文章第一段“One of the biggest challenges in trying to achieve any personal goal is that you put them off until tomorrow, or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here.”可知，实现个人目标最大的挑战之一是拖延，这让你很难实现目标，因此空处应填“困难的”。故填difficult/hard。 【52题详解】 根据文章第一段“If you want to achieve a goal, you have to start on it today.”可知，如果想要实现目标，必须今天就开始，因为时间不等人，因此空处应填“等待”，主语time为第三人称单数，谓语动词用三单形式。故填waits。 【53题详解】 根据文章“One goal at a time”部分“Often the problem is that you try to take on too many goals at once.”和“For now, one goal at a time.”可知，问题在于一次尝试太多目标，应该避免一次承担太多目标，因此空处应填“避免”，should后跟动词原形。故填avoid。 【54题详解】 根据文章“Make sure you really want it”部分“Ask yourself why you set this goal, and how much time you need to spend on it.”可知，要确定设定这个目标的原因以及实现目标需要花费的时间，因此空处应填“原因”。故填reason(s)。 【55题详解】 根据文章“Make sure you really want it”部分“That’s important to do early, or you won’t make time for it.”可知，除非早点做，否则不会为它腾出时间，因此空处应填“除非”。故填unless。 【56题详解】 根据“Keep it simple”部分“Instead, focus (关注) on a smaller sub-goal that will lead you to your bigger goal.”可知，应该从最小的目标开始，逐步养成引领你实现目标的习惯。故答案为smallest。 【57题详解】 根据“Stay focused”部分可知，本段主要讲述了要保持专注，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故答案为Staying。 【58题详解】 根据文章“Stay focused”部分“Therefore, you had better put a poster on your wall, or make your goal your computer desktop picture.”可知，应该把目标放在容易看到的地方，因此空处应填“容易地”，修饰动词see应用副词形式。故填easily。 【59题详解】 题目询问今年最想实现的目标是什么，可以根据个人情况回答，如：我想在考试中取得好成绩。故填I want to achieve good grades in my exams. 【60题详解】 题目询问将如何实现目标，可以根据个人情况回答，如：我会制定一个学习计划并坚持下去。故填I will make a study plan and stick to it. B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics, and each year is represented by a different animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, w____61____ 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were b____62____. However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to c____63____ twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a swimming race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the w____64____ of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to them. The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are b____65____ fast and competitive, they raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately n____66____ the Dragon, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came sixth. Then, as Horse and Goat were both m____67____ and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The n____68____ animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig. Some people wonder w____69____ the Cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t r____70____ the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always enemies in our daily lives. The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about! 【答案】61. while##hile 62. born##orn 63. choose##hoose 64. winners##inners 65. both##oth 66. noticed##oticed 67. modest##odest 68. ninth##inth 69. why##hy 70. reach##each 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国十二生肖文化内涵，以及十二生肖起源的传说故事，还讲述了猫未列入十二生肖的趣味缘由。 【61题详解】 句意：例如，1990年是马年，而2010年是虎年。根据前文“1990 was the year of the Horse”和后文“2010 was the year of the Tiger”及首字母可知，前后是对比关系，“while”表示“而”，符合语境，故填while。 【62题详解】 句意：在中华文化中，有些人认为一个人的成功、性格和婚姻是基于其出生年份对应的生肖。根据“the year in which they were...”的语境及首字母可知，此处指“出生”年份对应的生肖，出生“be born”是固定搭配，故填born。 【63题详解】 句意：很久以前，玉皇大帝想要挑选十二种动物作为他的护卫。根据“twelve animals to be his guards”及首字母可知，此处指“挑选”护卫，“choose”表示“挑选”，“want to”后接动词原形，故填choose。 【64题详解】 句意：最先游过湍急河流的十二种动物会成为比赛的获胜者。根据“The first twelve animals”可知，最先通过的是比赛的获胜者，“winner”表示“获胜者”，此处用复数，复数形式为“winners”，故填winners。 【65题详解】 句意：因为老虎和兔子都速度快且有竞争力，它们冲向终点线，老虎的速度更快。根据“Tiger and Rabbit”及首字母可知是两者，“both”与“and”搭配表示“两者都”，故填both。 【66题详解】 句意：龙天生引人注目，所以玉皇大帝立刻注意到了龙，（龙）说自己的儿子可以排第六。根据“Dragons are naturally eye-catching”及首字母可知，此处指玉皇大帝“注意到”龙，结合描述过去事件的语境，“notice”表示“注意到”，过去式为“noticed”，故填noticed。 【67题详解】 句意：因为马和羊都很谦逊，且对彼此友善，它们互相谦让，所以分别排第七和第八。根据“they let each other go first”及首字母可知，它们很谦逊，“modest”表示“谦逊的”，符合语境，故填modest。 【68题详解】 句意：第九个完成比赛的动物是猴子。根据前文“seventh and eighth”的顺序，此处是“第九”，“ninth”表示序数词“第九”，故填ninth。 【69题详解】 句意：有些人好奇为什么猫不是十二生肖之一。根据“wonder...the Cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals”及首字母可知，此处指好奇其原因，“why”表示“为什么”，引导宾语从句，故填why。 【70题详解】 句意：但老鼠把它推到水里，所以它被冲走了，没能及时赶到玉皇大帝那里获得排名。根据“but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t ... the Emperor in time”可知，此处指猫没赶上，“reach”表示“到达”，符合语境，“didn’t”后接动词原形，故填reach。 六、书面表达（满分20分） 71. 学校英语社正在举办“心灵树洞”(Heart-to-Heart Mailbox) 活动，收集来自全球青少年的烦恼，并邀请同学们以“知心朋友”(Pen Pal) 的身份用英文回信。以下是本周收到的三封求助信，请选择其中一封回复。 Eric, 15, Chicago Almost everyone in my class has a mobile phone, and I really want one too.

US scientists have found a new colour called “olo” It is a very deep blue-green. Colours come from light. Our eyes and brain work together to see them. Light goes into our eyes and hits the retina (视网膜) at the back. On the retina, there are about 6 million cone cells (视锥细胞). Most of us have three groups of cone cells: S cones for blue, L cones for red, and M cones for green. When light hits the cones, they send “messages” to our brain. The brain then tells us what colour we see. We can see about 10 million colours this way. But all of them fall between ultraviolet light (紫外线) and red light. Olo is outside this colour space, so we can’t see it with just our eyes, said ScienceAlert. In the new study, scientists made olo by using special tools to fire lasers (激光) into five people’s eyes safely. This “woke up” only the M cones. Natural light usually hits all cones, but this was different, said the BBC. The study may open new doors for helping with colour-blindness (色盲), said USA Today. Imagine wearing special glasses that let you see olo every day. Maybe these glasses can help people with colour-blindness enjoy more colours in life, like the bright red of a strawberry or the fresh green of spring leaves. In our daily life, we often forget how amazing our eyes are. When we look at a rainbow or a sunset, thousands of cone cells are working together in less than a second. The new colour olo tells us that the world still has secrets waiting to be discovered. Next time you pick up a crayon or choose a T-shirt, think about the tiny cone cells in your eyes. They are quietly telling your brain, “This is blue,” or “This is red.” And who knows? Maybe one day you will be the scientist who finds another brand-new colour! 24. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The olo light. B. The red light. C. The ultraviolet light. D. The natural light. 25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Your brain tells cone cells in your eyes what colour you’re seeing. B. Olo was first seen in nature by US scientists with just people’s eyes. C. All colours fall between ultraviolet light and red light, including olo. D. Many cone cells often work together when people look at a rainbow. 26. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To warn readers about the danger of ultraviolet light. B. To compare common people with ones with colour-blindness. C. To explain how animals see colours differently from humans. D. To introduce a newly created colour and the science behind it. C Have you ever thought that seemingly bad events in our lives might actually carry hidden blessings? This idea is what we call the broken umbrella theory. It suggests that every small unlucky moment we are faced with in our daily lives actually has a deeper purpose. Picture this: on a rainy morning, you’re rushing to an important job interview when your umbrella breaks, water soaking your suit. Frustrated (沮丧的) and worried about your appearance, you quickly run into a coffee shop for shelter in a hurry. There, you start a conversation with a stranger, sharing your hobby, work experiences, career goals and so on. To your surprise, this person is a manager at a famous company. Impressed by your passion and excellent working experience, he offers you a well-paid job right away—a far better chance than the interview you might miss. What seems like bad luck suddenly turns into a wonderful surprise. In other words, the broken umbrella theory encourages you to change your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive (积极的) light, we can be less anxious and stop worrying that we can’t manage what’s going on around us. Instead of focusing on small problems that aren’t actually that serious, it helps us learn to see the bigger picture. It also pushes us to find value in the difficulties we face. This way, we become better at dealing with future troubles, thus making us more ready for the future hardships. So, next time you feel yourself becoming worried or frustrated by an inconvenience (麻烦), try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself what you are thankful for the inconvenience. While keeping a positive mindset can go a long way, the broken umbrella theory is not without its disadvantages. Be mindful that if you only focus on positive thoughts, you’re actually stopping yourself from dealing with challenging or tough emotions. You end up just pretending (假装) everything is okay, instead of truly facing and understanding how you really feel. 27. Which of the following is an example of the broken umbrella theory? A. Getting good grades after studying hard. B. Meeting a good friend after missing a plane. C. Becoming friends again after dealing with problems. D. Losing a job because you forgot to wake up on time. 28. How does the broken umbrella theory influence you according to Paragraph 3? A. It helps you avoid small troubles in your daily life. B. It pushes you to think more about future difficulties. C. It makes you feel more worried when facing failures. D. It gets you to think positively when you are in trouble. 29. What may happen if you only care about positive thoughts? A. You may solve difficult problems smoothly. B. You may stay far away from your true feelings. C. You’ll improve your ability when dealing with troubles. D. You’ll discover more value when facing daily difficulties. 30. What is probably the best title for the text? A. Practice Makes Perfect B. Better Late Than Never C. It Never Rains But It Pours D. Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining D On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt gave him the task of painting their fence. It was 30 yards long and 3 yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest. Tom began to think of the games that he wanted to play. He knew the boys who were free would soon come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had an idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work. Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple. “I’m going swimming” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you? What a pity!” “Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?” Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the only person that can do it right.” “Oh please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.” “That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down again and started to eat the apple. When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers. Soon Tom had got many new toys, and the fence had three coats of paint. Aunt Polly was so pleased that she gave Tom a big apple! 31. What does the underlined word “surveyed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Imagined. B. Forgot. C. Checked. D. Presented. 32. What is the correct order of the following events? ① Tom stopped to rest after painting one board. ② The fence ended up with three coats of paint. ③ Billy gave Tom a kite to get the chance to paint. ④ Tom got two toy soldiers from Johnny for painting. ⑤ Ben begged Tom to let him paint and offered all his apples.

Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to achieve a goal, you have to start on it today. Let’s learn some ways.  One goal at a time. Often the problem is that you try to take on too many goals at once. You have a lot of things you want to complete. Even two goals at once is difficult. For now, one goal at a time. Once that’s finished, you can go to the next one. Make sure you really want it.  Make sure you really want it. It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you set this goal, and how much time you need to spend on it. That’s important to do early, or you won’t make time for it.  Keep it simple. It’s important not to make your personal goal too big. You don’t want to have a huge list of things to do. Instead, focus (关注) on a smaller sub-goal that will lead you to your bigger goal. Another way is to focus first on creating a habit leading you to your goal. For example, focus on forming the habit of walking each day. Once you’ve formed that habit, focus on drinking only water and then on eating fruits instead of junk snacks. And so on, until you’ve reached your goal.  Stay focused. One of the most challenging things to achieve goals is keeping your focus on that goal. You may be attracted by other things, and when you lose focus, you suddenly stop making time for the goal. Therefore, you had better put a poster on your wall, or make your goal your computer desktop picture. Also you can tell others about it and have them help you achieve your goal. How to Make the Time for Your Personal Goals What makes it ____51____ for you to achieve your goal is that you choose to put it off. However, time ____52____ for no man. Please start on your goal right now. Setting a goal at a time  You should ____53____ taking on too many goals at once.  Once you complete one goal, you can go to the next one. Making sure the goal is exactly what you want  Be sure to know the ____54____ for setting this goal and how long it takes you to achieve the goal.  You won’t make time for it ____55____ you do it early. Keeping it easy to reach  Begin with the ____56____ goals and develop a habit that will lead you to your goal step by step. ____57____ focused on it  Put your goal where you can see it ____58____ in order not to be attracted by something else.  Tell others about your goal and ask them to encourage you.

Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics, and each year is represented by a different animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, w____61____ 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were b____62____. However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to c____63____ twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a swimming race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the w____64____ of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to them. The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are b____65____ fast and competitive, they raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately n____66____ the Dragon, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came sixth. Then, as Horse and Goat were both m____67____ and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The n____68____ animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig. Some people wonder w____69____ the Cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t r____70____ the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always enemies in our daily lives. The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about! 六、书面表达（满分20分） 71. 学校英语社正在举办“心灵树洞”(Heart-to-Heart Mailbox) 活动，收集来自全球青少年的烦恼，并邀请同学们以“知心朋友”(Pen Pal) 的身份用英文回信。以下是本周收到的三封求助信，请选择其中一封回复。 Eric, 15, Chicago Almost everyone in my class has a mobile phone, and I really want one too.
