My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called ‘Why I am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone’.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was eighteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games.” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. 40% of children in her age group have been introduced to (接触过) cell phones. 55% of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said,“Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t...” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 33．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share the result of her schoolwork. B．To make them believe she could have a phone. C．To show her writing skills. D．To discuss the topic of the essay. 34．What does the underlined word probably mean? A．Trustworthy. B．Interested. C．Careful. D．Thoughtful. 35．How did Ava react (反应) after her parents said” we’ll talk it over” ? A．She shouted angrily. B．She cried excitedly. C．She smiled calmly.

It shows the path the energy takes from the sun through producers and consumers to decomposers. Everything needs energy to live on. A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the sun. It absorbs sunlight, turns it into energy and keeps it. A perfect example of a producer is a vegetable or fruit. These plants take in sunlight through their green leaves, produce energy, and keep it in the other parts of the plant, such as its fruit and flowers—what is most useful to consumers. A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers (蚱蜢), eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, consumers like lions and tigers often eat other animals below them in the food chain. In this way, energy can be passed to other consumers. A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals. Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers. These living things eat dead plants and animals, take in the energy to live on and put new energy into the earth. Plants use the energy to make energy of their own to start the cycle again. The food chain includes all living things on the earth and is difficult to understand. We can make an easy picture of the food chain by choosing just one group of living things. Here is an example of a simple food chain. 37．Which of the following living things may be a decomposer? A．Butterflies. B．Bamboos. C．Cranes. D．Ants. 38．What does the word “absorb” mean in Paragraph 2? A．制造 B．吸收 C．消耗 D．储存 39．Which of the following picture shows how the food chain works? A． B． C． D． 40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Consumers are animals living on meat. B．Producers can only live on the sunlight. C．Decomposers are dangerous to other life. D．Every living thing is important to the earth. 【答案】37．D 38．B 39．A 40．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了食物链的概念，以及生产者、消费者、分解者在食物链中的角色与能量传递过程，体现了生物间的相互关联。 37．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers.”可知，蚂蚁属于分解者，故选D。 38．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It absorbs sunlight, turns it into energy and keeps it.”的语境，生产者将阳光转化为能量，可知“absorb”的含义是“吸收”，故选B。 39．推理判断题。根据“A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the sun.”,“A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy.”和“A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals.”可知，消费者从生产者中获取能量，分解者从消费者和生产者那里获取能量，第一张图符合题意。故选A。 40．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The food chain includes all living things on the earth”可知，食物链涵盖地球上所有生物，每个生物都在能量循环中发挥作用，因此“每个生物对地球都很重要”的表述正确，故选D。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There are 24 solar terms (节气) in the traditional Chinese calendar. Among them, Dongzhi is one of the most important ones. On that day, the daytime is the shortest and the night is the longest. 41 But it begins the time “Shujiu Hantian”, which is believed to be the coldest 81 days in a year. There is an old Chinese saying—Dongzhi is as important as the Spring Festival. This dates back to the Qin Dynasty (朝). 42 However, as the special festival, Dongzhi wasn’t celebrated until the Han Dynasty. 43 That’s also true for Dongzhi. So it’s a festival that has to do with delicious food. 44 In the north, people enjoy dumplings. The tradition of eating dumplings is popular with them. 45 Mutton soup is also great. A bowl of hot soup would drive away the coldness. But whatever food they choose, the dishes for Dongzhi dinner table must be warming and healthy. A．Dongzhi always falls in December. B．The day of Dongzhi may not be that cold. C．Dongzhi might be the favorite time for a food lover. D．While in the south, tangyuan is a must for most families. E．At that time, people regarded it as the beginning of a new year. F．The celebrations of a festival could never happen without delicious food. 【答案】41．B 42．E 43．F 44．C 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国农历二十四节气中重要的节气——冬至。 41．根据前文“On that day, the daytime is the shortest and the night is the longest.”及后文“But it begins the time ‘Shujiu Hantian’, which is believed to be the coldest 81 days in a year.”可知，前文描述冬至的昼夜特征，后文以“但”转折，指出冬至开启最冷的“数九寒天”，此处应该承接前文，与后文形成转折逻辑，解释冬至当天的特点，选项B“冬至当天可能并没有那么冷”符合语境，故选B。 42．根据前文“This dates back to the Qin Dynasty.”及后文“However, as the special festival, Dongzhi wasn’t celebrated until the Han Dynasty.”可知，前文提到冬至历史可追溯至秦朝，后文以“然而”转折，说明其作为节日的庆祝始于汉朝，此处应该补充秦朝时期人们对冬至的定位，同时为后文“汉朝才作为节日庆祝”做铺垫，选项E“在那时，人们认为其为新年的开端”符合语境，故选E。 43．根据后文“That’s also true for Dongzhi. So it’s a festival that has to do with delicious food.”可知，后文强调“冬至也符合这一点，是与美食相关的节日”，此处作为总起句，应引出冬至与美食的关联，选项F“一个节日的庆祝离不开美味的食物”符合语境，故选F。 44．根据后文“In the north, people enjoy dumplings.”可知，后文介绍北方冬至吃饺子的习俗，此处承上启下，呼应前文“冬至与美食相关”的主题，又衔接具体的饮食习俗，选项C“冬至可能是美食爱好者最喜欢的时节”符合语境，故选C。 45．根据前文“In the north, people enjoy dumplings. The tradition of eating dumplings is popular with them.”可知，前文介绍北方的冬至饮食，此处应该介绍南方的冬至习俗，选项D“而在南方，汤圆是大多数家庭的必备食物”符合语境，故选D。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 第Ⅱ卷共26小题，请将答案按要求写在答题卡上。 四、词汇运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） We Can’t Live Without Bees Imagine you go to the supermarket in 46 (you) area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs or chocolate. How would you feel? 47 (disappoint)? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected.

My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called ‘Why I am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone’.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was eighteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games.” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. 40% of children in her age group have been introduced to (接触过) cell phones. 55% of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said,“Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t...” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 33．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share the result of her schoolwork. B．To make them believe she could have a phone. C．To show her writing skills. D．To discuss the topic of the essay. 34．What does the underlined word probably mean? A．Trustworthy. B．Interested. C．Careful. D．Thoughtful. 35．How did Ava react (反应) after her parents said” we’ll talk it over” ? A．She shouted angrily. B．She cried excitedly. C．She smiled calmly. D．She left at once. 36．Which is the best title for this passage? A．How to Write a Persuasive Essay B．A Lost and Found Phone C．When Parents Listen D．The Phone and the Lesson A food chain is a way to show the relationships among living things in the nature. It shows the path the energy takes from the sun through producers and consumers to decomposers. Everything needs energy to live on. A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the sun. It absorbs sunlight, turns it into energy and keeps it. A perfect example of a producer is a vegetable or fruit. These plants take in sunlight through their green leaves, produce energy, and keep it in the other parts of the plant, such as its fruit and flowers—what is most useful to consumers. A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers (蚱蜢), eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, consumers like lions and tigers often eat other animals below them in the food chain. In this way, energy can be passed to other consumers. A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals. Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers. These living things eat dead plants and animals, take in the energy to live on and put new energy into the earth. Plants use the energy to make energy of their own to start the cycle again. The food chain includes all living things on the earth and is difficult to understand. We can make an easy picture of the food chain by choosing just one group of living things. Here is an example of a simple food chain. 37．Which of the following living things may be a decomposer? A．Butterflies. B．Bamboos. C．Cranes. D．Ants. 38．What does the word “absorb” mean in Paragraph 2? A．制造 B．吸收 C．消耗 D．储存 39．Which of the following picture shows how the food chain works? A． B． C． D． 40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Consumers are animals living on meat. B．Producers can only live on the sunlight. C．Decomposers are dangerous to other life. D．Every living thing is important to the earth. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There are 24 solar terms (节气) in the traditional Chinese calendar.
