Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 34．The writer’s grandma used the leftover potatoes to ________. A．mix with noodles B．boil some vegetables C．fry bacon D．throw away 35．Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A．Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. B．Because she put potatoes into the containers. C．Because she was good at cooking.

C．By following her mother’s shopping list. D．By planning the next week’s food. 37．What does the underlined word “feast” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Sweet dream. B．Large meal. C．Happy story. D．Beautiful picture. 【答案】34．A 35．D 36．D 37．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者的奶奶、妈妈和她都非常节约食物，从中我们知道食物和生命都不应该浪费。 34．细节理解题。根据第一段“A few days later, Grandma would…vegetables and mix them all together.”可知，作者的奶奶用剩下的土豆和面条混合在一起。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据第一段“And I also remember when I watched…later to add flavor to so many other dishes.”可知，作者的妈妈煮的土豆尝起来像培根，是因为她把培根油倒进了土豆里。故选D。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段“I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste.”可知，作者总是提前计划好一周的饮食，来节约食物。故选D。 37．词句猜测题。根据“However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers.”可知，此处表示没有剩菜，因此表示这是盛宴。故选B。 David was a brave young man and he dreamed of becoming the best fighter in the world.

A serious old teacher took David to his room. Before leaving, he said to David, “The training will start in a hundred days.” A hundred days! At first, David thought that was a joke, but he soon realized the teacher had been serious. David felt nervous during the first days and he tried many ways to get the teacher to start the training. However, it didn’t work. David had no choice but to wait patiently and enjoy each day in the school. “You’ve already learned how to use your main weapon—patience,” said the teacher. David could hardly believe it, but he really understood the teacher was right. Finally, the lesson began. “It’s time to learn how to win every fight,” said the teacher. That sounded good to David until he found himself tied hands and feet. Many villagers hit him because they were told David was dangerous. The same thing was repeated for days, and David knew he had to do something. He realized the only way would be to deal with the villagers’ anger. In the following days, David kept talking to them until he managed to make them believe he was not an enemy. In the end, the villagers made friends with David.

Suddenly, you hear a loud, deep, and beautiful song. Just as you are starting to enjoy it, the song ends. Then, it starts again. Who is out there making such music? It sounds like the music that people make. But in fact, this music is made by some species of whales. According to scientists, some whales express their feelings of loneliness through these songs. They may even sing the songs to show their sadness over the loss of a loved one. Each of these whale songs can last from a few minutes to half an hour, and it is then repeated. The singing can go on for hours, or even days. It is very loud, and can be heard over great distances. What is more amazing is that whales from the same social group sing the same song at the same time even when they are very far apart (相隔). On the other hand, whales that belong to different social groups sing different songs even when they are together. The music may change over time, but whales belonging to the same group always sing the same songs. Research shows that this helps the whales to communicate important information to one another within the group. Although scientists have been studying whale songs for a long time, they continue to wonder why whales sing. They also haven’t found out the different meanings of these songs. But maybe this is not a bad thing, for the beauty of nature often lies in its mystery. And the mystery could be part of the reason why the song sounds so beautiful to the human ear. 42．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To draw the readers’ interest. B．To tell the readers about a story. C．To express the main idea. D．To provide the background. 43．What can we know from the passage? A．Whales express their all feelings through singing. B．Whales in the same sea area sing the same songs. C．Whales in the same group can communicate well. D．Whales sing so loud that they influence each other. 44．What does the underlined word “this” in the last Paragraph mean? A．Scientists have studied whale songs for a long time. B．Scientists have divided the whales into different groups. C．Scientists haven’t completely known what whale songs mean. D．Scientists haven’t clearly known how long whale songs can last. 45．What may be the best title of the passage? A．The recent research on whale songs B．The meanings of whale songs C．The communication among whales D．Scientists and different whales 【答案】42．A 43．C 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了鲸鱼通过歌声表达情感，同时也是一种社交的方式。 42．主旨大意题。根据“Imagine you are in a boat far out at sea. Suddenly, you hear a loud, deep, and beautiful song. Just as you are starting to enjoy it, the song ends. Then, it starts again. Who is out there making such music?”可知，第一段通过想象你坐在远海的一艘船上，听到一首又响亮、又深沉、又优美的歌，引出本文的主题——鲸鱼唱歌，目的是吸引读者的兴趣，故选A。 43．推理判断题。根据“The music may change over time, but whales belonging to the same group always sing the same songs. Research shows that this helps the whales to communicate important information to one another within the group.”可知，同一组的鲸鱼可以很好地交流，故选C。 44．词义猜测题。根据“They also haven’t found out the different meanings of these songs. But maybe this is not a bad thing, for the beauty of nature often lies in its mystery.”可知，他们也没有发现这些歌曲的不同含义。但也许这并不是一件坏事，因为大自然的美丽往往在于它的神秘。“this”指的是科学家们还不知道鲸鱼的歌声意味着什么，故选C。 45．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了科学家对鲸鱼歌声的研究，包括鲸鱼歌声的特点、同一群体鲸鱼歌声相同的现象以及科学家对鲸鱼歌声含义还未完全了解等内容，A选项“关于鲸鱼歌声的最新研究”最能概括文章内容。故选A。 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 46．John Agar acted in (west), war films and low-budget science fiction pictures. 【答案】westerns 【详解】句意：John Agar 演出了西部影片、战争电影和低预算的科幻电影。空处与“war films”并列，表示“西部片western”，是可数名词，用复数形式。故填westerns。 47．The hope of living (peace) seemed a dream for people during World War II. 【答案】peacefully 【详解】句意：在第二次世界大战期间，和平生活的希望似乎是人们的梦想。peace“和平”，名词，空处修饰动词，应用副词peacefully。故填peacefully。 48．Strict actions were taken by the school to make sure the (safe) of all students during the event. 【答案】safety 【详解】句意：学校采取了严格的措施来确保活动期间所有学生的安全。位于“the...of”之间，应用名词形式。safety“安全”，名词。故填safety。 49．Last year’s (wealth) person will probably be this year’s biggest loser. Nothing is impossible. 【答案】wealthiest 【详解】句意：去年的最富有的人，今年可能会是最大的失败者。没有什么是不可能的。根据“will probably be this year’s biggest loser”可知空处是指去年“最富有的人”。wealth“财富”，名词，其形容词最高级形式是wealthiest。故填wealthiest。 50．Your desk is even (tidy) than mine. Please take the time to put everything in order. 【答案】less tidy 【详解】句意：你的桌子甚至不及我的整洁。请花点时间把东西都整理一下。根据“than”可知此处填写比较级，根据“Please take the time to put everything in order.”可知此处表示不及对方整洁，tidy整洁的，形容词，less +形容词比较级+than表示“不如，不及”，less tidy than mine“不及我的整洁”，符合语境，故填less tidy。 51．—It was in his (90) that the great writer completed his famous novel. —Yes, that made the whole world amazed because he was very old at that time. 【答案】nineties 【详解】句意：——这位伟大的作家正是在90多岁时完成了他的著名小说。——是的，这让全世界都感到惊讶，因为那时他已经很老了。in one’s+基数词的复数表示“在某人……多岁时”，故填nineties。   52．—The plan for summer study trip may be (取消).   —Really? I’m looking forward to it. 【答案】canceled/cancelled 【详解】句意：——暑期游学计划可能会被取消。——真的？我很期待它呢。cancel“取消”，根据语境可知，此处应用过去分词形式，构成被动语态。故填canceled/cancelled。 53．Rare metals which are found only in China are badly in need in (工业) around the world. 【答案】industry 【详解】句意：只在中国被发现的稀有金属在全世界的工业中都急需。industry“工业”，此处是不可数名词。故填industry。 54．He has written many novels, but this is (大概) his best-known one. 【答案】probably 【详解】句意：他写了许多小说，但这可能是他最著名的一部。probably“大概”，副词。故填probably。 55．I hear you again (误认为) the twins the other day. Is that true? 【答案】mistook 【详解】句意：我听说你前几天又把双胞胎认错了。那是真的吗？mistake“误认为”，动词。根据“the other day”可知，指的是过去发生的事情，因此用mistake的过去式。mistake的过去式是mistook，故填mistook。 五、阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先). They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones (甲骨) to get answers to their questions. First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow?” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question. Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow?” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow?” A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 56．What did the Shang kings believe in? 57．Where did the priest write the king’s question? 58．Who would read the cracks and provide an answer? 59．How many oracle bones have been found? 60．Why did Shang kings and queens sacrifice many people and animals? 【答案】56．The power of their ancestors. 57．On an oracle bone. 58．A special oracle reader. 59．Thousands of oracle bones. 60．To ask their ancestors questions. 【导语】商王特别相信他们祖先的力量，总是想问祖先关于农作物、天气、战争和统治家族的问题。他们用甲骨来寻找问题的答案。后面许多人和动物被献祭是因为国王和王后想得到他们问题的答案。 56．根据“Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先).”可知，商王相信他们祖先的力量。故答案为The power of their ancestors. 57．根据“The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone”可知，牧师把答案写在一块甲骨上，故答案为On an oracle bone. 58．根据“Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question.”可知，一位特殊的预言者可以读出裂缝并提供答案，故答案为A special oracle reader. 59．根据“Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it.”可知，数千块甲骨已经被找到，故答案为Thousands of oracle bones. 60．根据“A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions.”可知，许多人和动物被献祭，是因为国王和王后想问他们祖先问题。故答案为To ask their ancestors questions. 六、短文填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分) At the dinner table, Westerners use knives and forks, while the Chinese use c 61 .

Then I found that my mother was not the best 16 for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother’s “helpful instructions” only managed to make me more 17 . Since I could no longer 18 with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. I loved him, 19 I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a(n) 20 father-daughter relationship. He’d ask how school was, and I’d say it was fine. 21 , that was the most of our conversations. As we got into the car that first time, I was not 22 about what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost 23 , besides a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would 24 the radio so I could enjoy his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about his first meeting with Mom, “basic body” gym class, and other 25 from his past. Dad’s sudden talk was shocking until I thought about 26 he was telling me so much. In all the years, I always 27 why my father never spoke that much. I never considered it was because I had never spent time 28 . Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and I never thought my 29 father had anything to say. Since I began driving with him, my driving ability has greatly improved. More importantly, the 30 between my father and I has also improved.

(2) Add in some vinegar (醋) (60 ml) and soda (10 ml), then fully mix them. (3) Drop a few mothballs (樟脑丸) into the glass. Reason: Rough surfaces of the mothballs and the raisins hold some CO₂ bubbles, causing them to behave like dancing. Experiment after class: (1) Try a similar experiment with raisins (葡萄干) and clear pop, such as cola. (2) Fill a glass with cola and drop a few raisins into it. Result of the first one: As surfaces of mothballs go rough (粗糙), the balls start going up and down in the water. Result of the second one: The raisins also begin to move up and down in the glass of cola. 31．Which of the following things are needed in the experiment in class? a. soda    b. mothballs    c. water d. raisins    e. vinegar    f. cola A．Bcef B．acde C．abdf D．abce 32．The underlined word “pop” probably refers to ________.

A．shape of a ball B．glass C．CO₂ bubbles D．water When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 34．The writer’s grandma used the leftover potatoes to ________. A．mix with noodles B．boil some vegetables C．fry bacon D．throw away 35．Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A．Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. B．Because she put potatoes into the containers. C．Because she was good at cooking. D．Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes. 36．According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way? A．By shopping ahead of time. B．By throwing it into the litter bin. C．By following her mother’s shopping list. D．By planning the next week’s food. 37．What does the underlined word “feast” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Sweet dream. B．Large meal. C．Happy story. D．Beautiful picture. David was a brave young man and he dreamed of becoming the best fighter in the world. To become stronger and get better fighting skills, he went to many schools. One day, he went to the best school in New York. Before entering, he was made to hand in all his weapons (武器). “You won’t need those any more. Here you’ll get better ones,” said the guard. David handed his weapons to him. A serious old teacher took David to his room. Before leaving, he said to David, “The training will start in a hundred days.” A hundred days! At first, David thought that was a joke, but he soon realized the teacher had been serious. David felt nervous during the first days and he tried many ways to get the teacher to start the training. However, it didn’t work. David had no choice but to wait patiently and enjoy each day in the school. “You’ve already learned how to use your main weapon—patience,” said the teacher. David could hardly believe it, but he really understood the teacher was right. Finally, the lesson began. “It’s time to learn how to win every fight,” said the teacher. That sounded good to David until he found himself tied hands and feet. Many villagers hit him because they were told David was dangerous. The same thing was repeated for days, and David knew he had to do something. He realized the only way would be to deal with the villagers’ anger. In the following days, David kept talking to them until he managed to make them believe he was not an enemy. In the end, the villagers made friends with David. Finally, David knew what the most powerful weapon was. He thanked the teacher and left. 38．Why did David go to the school in New York? A．To be a brave young man and the best fighter. B．To become stronger and get better fighting skills. C．To learn how to use all the weapons well in the world.

Suddenly, you hear a loud, deep, and beautiful song. Just as you are starting to enjoy it, the song ends. Then, it starts again. Who is out there making such music? It sounds like the music that people make. But in fact, this music is made by some species of whales. According to scientists, some whales express their feelings of loneliness through these songs. They may even sing the songs to show their sadness over the loss of a loved one. Each of these whale songs can last from a few minutes to half an hour, and it is then repeated. The singing can go on for hours, or even days. It is very loud, and can be heard over great distances. What is more amazing is that whales from the same social group sing the same song at the same time even when they are very far apart (相隔). On the other hand, whales that belong to different social groups sing different songs even when they are together. The music may change over time, but whales belonging to the same group always sing the same songs. Research shows that this helps the whales to communicate important information to one another within the group. Although scientists have been studying whale songs for a long time, they continue to wonder why whales sing. They also haven’t found out the different meanings of these songs. But maybe this is not a bad thing, for the beauty of nature often lies in its mystery. And the mystery could be part of the reason why the song sounds so beautiful to the human ear. 42．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To draw the readers’ interest.

They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones (甲骨) to get answers to their questions. First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow?” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question. Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow?” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow?” A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 56．What did the Shang kings believe in? 57．Where did the priest write the king’s question? 58．Who would read the cracks and provide an answer? 59．How many oracle bones have been found? 60．Why did Shang kings and queens sacrifice many people and animals? 六、短文填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分) At the dinner table, Westerners use knives and forks, while the Chinese use c 61 .
