The last dish of meal is always noodles. The bride and groom eat the noodles together, which symbolizes that the couple will support each other and enjoy a long, happy and healthy life. Mother’s Day Many people around the world honour their mothers on Mother’s Day. In the UK, Mother’s Day is celebrated in March or April.

B Jessica Alba has spent the past three years working towards buying her parents a house, but not just any house, she bought her father’s childhood home. She took to Instagram to make the announcement, with a teaser video of her special home-renovation (翻新) project. “Almost three years ago, I started the project of my dreams... I surprised my parents by buying them a house!” she began, “Now, it wasn’t just a house — there was extra sentimental value as it was my grandparent’s house that my father grew up in,” she continued, “After my grandfather passed away, my parents were planning on selling the house in order to pay for my grandmother’s medical bills. Well... I pretended to help them repair and improve it before selling when in reality. I had planned to buy it for them all along.” She published the first part of her renovation series on YouTube and in it explained the value of the house and how it was a symbol for her father, who was an immigrant from Mexico, that “he had made it”. Her family planned to sell it to reduce some of their financial burden at the beginning as her grandmother required “24/7 care”, but Alba wanted to keep the house in the family and so her plan began. “Instead of giving it to a stranger, I wanted to keep this home in our family,” she said in the YouTube series. The moment when Alba surprised her parents was also captured in the video, with her father brought to tears as he was overcome with emotion. “That’s so sweet Jessica. That’s a big surprise,” he said while embracing his daughter, “I’m very proud of you.” 4. What does the word “sentimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Cultural. B. Economic. C. Emotional. D. Academic. 5. What was the plan of Jessica’s parents for the house? A. To downsize their living space. B. To keep it for the next generation. C. To decorate it and then rent it out. D. To sell it to reduce financial burden. 6. How did Jessica’s father react when he learned about the surprise? A. He was moved and pleased. B. He was heartbroken and tearful. C. He was happy but not surprised. D. He was indifferent and uninterested. 7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To illustrate an unusual experience. B. To look back on Jessica’s childhood. C. To share a loving story of Jessica’s family. D. To declare how much Jessica loves her first house. C Ana Gonzalez is a protected-areas analyst for the Canadian Wildlife Service in Delta, British Columbia. She studies migration patterns and track bird movement to improve protection efforts with local scientists to protect birds which are likely to become endangered. The bird in my hand is a yellow-breasted chat (黄胸大䳭莺). This bird breeds in North America and then migrates to Mexico and Central America during the Northern Hemisphere’s autumn months. The chat is a crashing species in North America, in part because it relies on habitat next to bodies of water such as rivers and streams, much of which has been destroyed. In 2001, one population in the Okanagan valley in Canada had just 25 breeding pairs remaining. But protection actions, including monitoring these birds and bringing back their habitats, have helped their populations to recover. There are now more than 250 breeding pairs in the area. We know that population falls in North America can be linked not only to what happens in Canada and the United States, but also to what happens during migration or at the wintering grounds. Two years ago, I started a project with Scott Wilson, my colleague, and several co-workers in Mexico, to study these birds during the winter to better understand the dangers that they face. Sergio Gómez and Adrián Cabrera are helping me to join radio transmitters (无线电发射设备) to chats so that we can track their movement. Sergio leads a bird-protection organization in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Adrián is a field biologist at the Bird Observatory of Tlaxiaco. I don’t work alone. Sergio is holding a radio transmitter, while Adrián is recording data. Could I do this work by myself? Probably, but it’s a lot easier when you have partners. 8. What’s the main reason for the fall of the chat in North America? A. Lack of food. B. Climate change. C. Air and water pollution. D. Natural environment destruction. 9. What can we learn about the protection actions in paragraph 3? A. They turn out to be fruitful. B. They are difficult to carry out. C. They fail to solve the problems. D. They mainly rely on volunteers. 10. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Good is rewarded with good. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Hard work can lead to success. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 11. Where are you most likely to find the passage? A. In a travel leaflet. B. In a geography textbook. C. In a scientific research paper. D. In a popular nature magazine. D Barbados has devoted themselves to becoming fossil-fuel-free (无化石燃料) by 2030, but that will probably cause huge economic damage because not a lot of people here can afford an electric car. Brazil solved this problem with cars that run on sugarcane biofuel (甘蔗生物燃料), but there’s not enough sugarcane grown here to copy that approach. One of my students, Brittney McKenzie, saw a possible solution. There is a seaweed (a plant that grows in the sea or ocean) problem in Barbados. One tourist attraction was spending US $2 million every year to remove it from the beach. McKenzie asked. what if we use seaweed to make biofuel? She tested it in the laboratory, and it worked so well that it changed my whole research path. I’m collecting seaweed to put into a digester, along with waste water from a local beer factory. Under conditions that do not need oxygen, the extremely small living things in the mix, feeding on the sugar in the waste water, digest the seaweed and produce gas biofuel. All the islands in this region have a seaweed problem and a wastewater problem — and finally a climate-change problem. This solution is a win-win-win. We estimate that, if we changed 100,000 vehicles in Barbados -around 75% - to run on our biofuel, it would remove 17 million tons of carbon that was sent out into atmosphere over the average vehicle lifetime of 14 years. It would also reduce the cost of vehicle fuel to half for people in Barbados. In 2021, my colleagues and I co-founded a start-up company, Rum & Sargassum, and now the first challenge is to find ways to expand to meet our goal of 2,000 customers here. Then, we must make people or organizations that spend money on our company believe that this is a workable solution for eco-friendly energy. 12. Why does the author mention Brazil’s solution? A. To explain what it is. B. To praise its solution. C. To show its advantage. D. To introduce seaweed biofuel. 13. What’s the author’s attitude to biofuel in Barbados? A. Uncertain. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Curious. 14. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Turning Seaweed into Biofuel. B. The Market for Biofuel in Barbados. C. The Challenges of Starting a Business. D. The Importance of Laboratory Research. 15. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph? A. Finding enough seaweed to meet demand. B. Looking for effective solutions to the challenge. C. Analyzing the impact of biofuel on Barbados’ economy. D. Ensuring the company’s positive effect on the environment. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is there anything more delicious than fresh fruit? Fresh fruit is definitely up there, and it’s hard to beat the taste of a ripe banana. If you’re like us, you’re always trying to keep bananas fresh. ____16____, here are some of the most effective ways you can keep bananas from browning too quickly. Buy green bananas. The easiest way to lengthen your bananas’ shelf-life is to buy the greenest bananas you can find. They’re picked while they are still not ready to eat, then slowly ripen (成熟) over time to reach that bright yellow we love. ____17____, instead of picking up perfectly ripened bananas you’re eyeing. Hang them. There’s a scientific reason you should be hanging your bananas from a hook. Bananas start ripening as soon as they’re picked from trees — ethylene (乙烯) gas comes out from the stems (茎) as soon as they’re picked, but when you hang bananas from a hook, the gas works more slowly. ____18____, which they’re more likely to do as they continue ripening. ____19____. Remember that ethylene gas that makes bananas ripen. It comes from the stems, which means you can cover those stems completely and tightly — with plastic or aluminum foil — to slow down the ripening process. For best results, take your bananas apart and wrap their stems individually. Place ripe bananas in the fridge. One of the most important rules of keeping bananas is to never put them in the fridge. ____20____. You should keep green bananas out of the fridge, but once your bananas have completely ripened, you can move them to the fridge where the cool temperatures will keep them from ripening further (for a few days at least). A. Choose green ones B. Wrap banana stems C. Freeze your banana stems D. If you want to eat healthily E. But rules are meant to be broken F. Hanging bananas also prevents them from spoiling G. Especially if you’ve bought a hand of bananas but only want to eat one at a time 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Fanny Blankers Koen grew up in the Netherlands and enjoyed playing sports.

Toward winter, a bad sickness — pneumonia (肺炎) — visited the village and touched many people, including Johnsy. She lay, barely moving, in her bed staring at a blank wall. The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more positively about living.” Sue began drawing in Johnsy’s room, attempting to raise Johnsy’s spirits. Johnsy stared out the window, counting backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...” “What are you counting, dear?” asked Sue. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But there are only five left now. Five leaves! When the last one falls, I must go, too.” replied Johnsy. “Oh, I never heard of such a thing,” snapped Sue, “Try to sleep.” Then she went to fetch her neighbour, Mr. Behrman, who was a failed painter. In 40 years he had never produced a masterpiece. Told about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves, Behrman cried with disbelief. “Are there people in the world that foolish to think they’ll die because leaves drop off from a vine? Someday I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.” Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine and noticed there was just one remaining leaf. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.” The following day, the leaf was still there! Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. “It is a crime to want to die.” said Johnsy, then she asked for some food. In the afternoon, the doctor visited, “Even chances,” said the doctor, “with good nursing, you’ll win. And now I must see a fellow downstairs, Behrman, pneumonia, too. There is no hope for him.” The next day, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed and said, “Mr. Behrman died today. He was found lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning, wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, still lit, and some brushes, and-look out of the window, dear... Didn’t you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew? Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night when the last ivy leaf fell.” 46. 根据文本内容，从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 fail; light; prefer; worse; touch; change; encourage; count; hope; recover; success; last The ________ leaf Sue and Johnsy are friends with the same ________. → A deadly disease-pneumonia-swept the village, ________ many people, including Johnsy. ↓ ↓ Johnsy stayed in hospital, lying and staring at the vine tree ________. → The doctor said there’s a chance to ________ if she wanted to live. ↓ ↓ Sue attempted ________ her by drawing, which both of them are into. → Sue desperately kept ________ the number of leaves left, thinking she would die with the last one falling. ↓ ↓ Sue told Mr..

She studies migration patterns and track bird movement to improve protection efforts with local scientists to protect birds which are likely to become endangered. The bird in my hand is a yellow-breasted chat (黄胸大䳭莺). This bird breeds in North America and then migrates to Mexico and Central America during the Northern Hemisphere’s autumn months. The chat is a crashing species in North America, in part because it relies on habitat next to bodies of water such as rivers and streams, much of which has been destroyed. In 2001, one population in the Okanagan valley in Canada had just 25 breeding pairs remaining. But protection actions, including monitoring these birds and bringing back their habitats, have helped their populations to recover. There are now more than 250 breeding pairs in the area. We know that population falls in North America can be linked not only to what happens in Canada and the United States, but also to what happens during migration or at the wintering grounds. Two years ago, I started a project with Scott Wilson, my colleague, and several co-workers in Mexico, to study these birds during the winter to better understand the dangers that they face. Sergio Gómez and Adrián Cabrera are helping me to join radio transmitters (无线电发射设备) to chats so that we can track their movement. Sergio leads a bird-protection organization in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Adrián is a field biologist at the Bird Observatory of Tlaxiaco. I don’t work alone. Sergio is holding a radio transmitter, while Adrián is recording data. Could I do this work by myself? Probably, but it’s a lot easier when you have partners. 8. What’s the main reason for the fall of the chat in North America? A. Lack of food. B. Climate change. C. Air and water pollution. D. Natural environment destruction. 9. What can we learn about the protection actions in paragraph 3? A. They turn out to be fruitful. B. They are difficult to carry out. C. They fail to solve the problems. D. They mainly rely on volunteers. 10. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Good is rewarded with good. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Hard work can lead to success. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 11. Where are you most likely to find the passage? A. In a travel leaflet. B. In a geography textbook. C. In a scientific research paper. D. In a popular nature magazine. 【答案】8 D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加拿大野生动物服务局的保护区域分析师Ana Gonzalez对黄胸大䳭莺的研究和保护工作，包括其迁徙模式、种群数量变化以及与墨西哥同事合作进行的冬季研究项目。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The chat is a crashing species in North America, in part because it relies on habitat next to bodies of water such as rivers and streams, much of which has been destroyed. (黄胸大䳭莺是北美的一种濒危物种，部分原因是它依赖河流和溪流等水体旁边的栖息地，而这些栖息地大部分已被破坏。)”可知，黄胸大䳭莺在北美数量减少的主要原因是自然环境的破坏。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2001, one population in the Okanagan valley in Canada had just 25 breeding pairs remaining. But protection actions, including monitoring these birds and bringing back their habitats, have helped their populations to recover. There are now more than 250 breeding pairs in the area. (2001年，加拿大奥卡纳根山谷的一个种群只剩下25对繁殖对。但是保护行动，包括监测这些鸟类和恢复它们的栖息地，帮助它们的种群数量恢复。现在该地区有超过250对繁殖对。)”可知，保护行动取得了成果，种群数量显著增加。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I don’t work alone. Sergio is holding a radio transmitter, while Adrián is recording data. Could I do this work by myself? Probably, but it’s a lot easier when you have partners. (我并不是一个人工作。塞尔吉奥拿着一个无线电发射器，而阿德里安正在记录数据。我能独自完成这项工作吗？也许可以，但有伙伴会容易得多。)”可知，作者想表达的是有伙伴合作会使工作更容易，即“人多智广”或“两个脑袋比一个好”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“Ana Gonzalez is a protected-areas analyst for the Canadian Wildlife Service in Delta, British Columbia. She studies migration patterns and track bird movement to improve protection efforts with local scientists to protect birds which are likely to become endangered. (Ana Gonzalez是加拿大野生动物服务局在三角洲的保护区域分析师。她研究迁徙模式并追踪鸟类活动，与当地科学家合作改善保护工作，以保护可能濒危的鸟类。)”可知，文章主要介绍了对黄胸大䳭莺的研究和保护工作，这类内容通常出现在自然杂志中。故选D项。 D Barbados has devoted themselves to becoming fossil-fuel-free (无化石燃料) by 2030, but that will probably cause huge economic damage because not a lot of people here can afford an electric car. Brazil solved this problem with cars that run on sugarcane biofuel (甘蔗生物燃料), but there’s not enough sugarcane grown here to copy that approach. One of my students, Brittney McKenzie, saw a possible solution. There is a seaweed (a plant that grows in the sea or ocean) problem in Barbados. One tourist attraction was spending US $2 million every year to remove it from the beach. McKenzie asked. what if we use seaweed to make biofuel? She tested it in the laboratory, and it worked so well that it changed my whole research path. I’m collecting seaweed to put into a digester, along with waste water from a local beer factory. Under conditions that do not need oxygen, the extremely small living things in the mix, feeding on the sugar in the waste water, digest the seaweed and produce gas biofuel. All the islands in this region have a seaweed problem and a wastewater problem — and finally a climate-change problem. This solution is a win-win-win. We estimate that, if we changed 100,000 vehicles in Barbados -around 75% - to run on our biofuel, it would remove 17 million tons of carbon that was sent out into atmosphere over the average vehicle lifetime of 14 years. It would also reduce the cost of vehicle fuel to half for people in Barbados. In 2021, my colleagues and I co-founded a start-up company, Rum & Sargassum, and now the first challenge is to find ways to expand to meet our goal of 2,000 customers here. Then, we must make people or organizations that spend money on our company believe that this is a workable solution for eco-friendly energy. 12. Why does the author mention Brazil’s solution? A. To explain what it is. B. To praise its solution. C. To show its advantage. D. To introduce seaweed biofuel. 13. What’s the author’s attitude to biofuel in Barbados? A. Uncertain. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Curious. 14. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Turning Seaweed into Biofuel. B. The Market for Biofuel in Barbados. C. The Challenges of Starting a Business. D. The Importance of Laboratory Research. 15. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph? A. Finding enough seaweed to meet demand. B. Looking for effective solutions to the challenge. C. Analyzing the impact of biofuel on Barbados’ economy. D. Ensuring the company’s positive effect on the environment. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15.

Fresh fruit is definitely up there, and it’s hard to beat the taste of a ripe banana. If you’re like us, you’re always trying to keep bananas fresh. ____16____, here are some of the most effective ways you can keep bananas from browning too quickly. Buy green bananas. The easiest way to lengthen your bananas’ shelf-life is to buy the greenest bananas you can find. They’re picked while they are still not ready to eat, then slowly ripen (成熟) over time to reach that bright yellow we love. ____17____, instead of picking up perfectly ripened bananas you’re eyeing. Hang them. There’s a scientific reason you should be hanging your bananas from a hook. Bananas start ripening as soon as they’re picked from trees — ethylene (乙烯) gas comes out from the stems (茎) as soon as they’re picked, but when you hang bananas from a hook, the gas works more slowly. ____18____, which they’re more likely to do as they continue ripening. ____19____. Remember that ethylene gas that makes bananas ripen. It comes from the stems, which means you can cover those stems completely and tightly — with plastic or aluminum foil — to slow down the ripening process. For best results, take your bananas apart and wrap their stems individually. Place ripe bananas in the fridge. One of the most important rules of keeping bananas is to never put them in the fridge. ____20____. You should keep green bananas out of the fridge, but once your bananas have completely ripened, you can move them to the fridge where the cool temperatures will keep them from ripening further (for a few days at least). A. Choose green ones B. Wrap banana stems C. Freeze your banana stems D. If you want to eat healthily E. But rules are meant to be broken F. Hanging bananas also prevents them from spoiling G. Especially if you’ve bought a hand of bananas but only want to eat one at a time 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了几种防止香蕉过快变质（变褐）的实用方法，包括购买青香蕉、悬挂保存、包裹香蕉茎以及利用冰箱冷藏等。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you’re like us, you’re always trying to keep bananas fresh.(如果你和我们一样，那你肯定一直在想办法让香蕉保持新鲜状态)”以及后文“here are some of the most effective ways you can keep bananas from browning too quickly.(以下是一些能有效防止香蕉过快变色的方法)”可知，上一句提到“如果你像我们一样，总是试图让香蕉保持新鲜”。下一句紧接着说“这里有一些最有效的方法”。选项G（特别是当你买了一串香蕉，但每次只想吃一根的时候。）是对上一句“试图保持新鲜”的原因进行补充说明。这种情况（买得多吃得少）正是需要保鲜技巧的典型场景，从而自然引出下文的方法介绍。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Buy green bananas. The easiest way to lengthen your bananas’ shelf-life is to buy the greenest bananas you can find. They’re picked while they are still not ready to eat, then slowly ripen (成熟) over time to reach that bright yellow we love.(购买绿色香蕉。延长香蕉保质期最简单的方法就是购买你所能找到的最绿的香蕉。这些香蕉在还未成熟可食用时就被采摘下来，随后会慢慢成熟，逐渐变成我们喜爱的那种鲜艳的黄色)”以及后文“instead of picking up perfectly ripened bananas you’re eyeing(而不是去挑选那些已经完全成熟的、令你垂涎的香蕉)”可知，本段主题是“买青香蕉”。下一句说“而不是去拿你看中的那些完全成熟的香蕉”。选项 A（选择青的）是对本段主题的直接呼应，也是给读者的具体建议。与下一句的“不要选熟的”形成鲜明对比和选择关系。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Hang them. There’s a scientific reason you should be hanging your bananas from a hook. Bananas start ripening as soon as they’re picked from trees — ethylene (乙烯) gas comes out from the stems (茎) as soon as they’re picked, but when you hang bananas from a hook, the gas works more slowly.(把它们挂起来。这其中有一个科学道理能解释为什么你应该把香蕉挂在挂钩上。香蕉刚从树上摘下来就开始成熟了——一旦被摘下，茎部就会释放出乙烯气体，但当你把香蕉挂在挂钩上时，这种气体的释放速度就会变慢)”可知，本段讲的是“悬挂香蕉”的好处。上一句解释了科学原理（悬挂让乙烯气体释放变慢）。选项F（悬挂香蕉还能防止它们腐烂。）起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Remember that ethylene gas that makes bananas ripen. It comes from the stems, which means you can cover those stems completely and tightly — with plastic or aluminum foil — to slow down the ripening process. For best results, take your bananas apart and wrap their stems individually.(要知道，乙烯气体能使香蕉成熟。这种气体来自香蕉的茎部，所以你可以将那些茎部完全且紧密地用塑料或铝箔包裹起来，以此来延缓其成熟过程。为了达到最佳效果，可以把香蕉拆开，然后分别包裹住它们的茎部)”可知，这是本段的主题句。本段后面的内容提到“用塑料或铝箔纸完全紧密地包裹茎部”。选项 B（包裹香蕉茎。）高度概括了本段的具体操作方法，作为小标题最合适。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Place ripe bananas in the fridge. One of the most important rules of keeping bananas is to never put them in the fridge.(将成熟的香蕉放入冰箱中。保存香蕉时最重要的规则之一就是切勿将其放入冰箱)”以及后文“You should keep green bananas out of the fridge, but once your bananas have completely ripened, you can move them to the fridge where the cool temperatures will keep them from ripening further (for a few days at least).(你应该把青香蕉放在室温下保存，但当香蕉完全成熟后，就可以将其放入冰箱了。在冰箱里低温的环境能阻止香蕉继续成熟（至少能保持几天）)”可知，上一句说“保存香蕉最重要的规则之一是永远不要把它们放进冰箱”。下一句却说“你应该把青香蕉放在冰箱外，但一旦香蕉完全成熟，你可以把它们移到冰箱里”。选项E（但规则就是用来被打破的。）起到了关键的转折作用。它引出了上一句规则的“例外情况”，即虽然通常不能放冰箱，但熟了之后是可以的。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Fanny Blankers Koen grew up in the Netherlands and enjoyed playing sports.

Toward winter, a bad sickness — pneumonia (肺炎) — visited the village and touched many people, including Johnsy. She lay, barely moving, in her bed staring at a blank wall. The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more positively about living.” Sue began drawing in Johnsy’s room, attempting to raise Johnsy’s spirits. Johnsy stared out the window, counting backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...” “What are you counting, dear?” asked Sue. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But there are only five left now. Five leaves! When the last one falls, I must go, too.” replied Johnsy. “Oh, I never heard of such a thing,” snapped Sue, “Try to sleep.” Then she went to fetch her neighbour, Mr. Behrman, who was a failed painter. In 40 years he had never produced a masterpiece. Told about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves, Behrman cried with disbelief. “Are there people in the world that foolish to think they’ll die because leaves drop off from a vine? Someday I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.” Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine and noticed there was just one remaining leaf. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.” The following day, the leaf was still there! Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. “It is a crime to want to die.” said Johnsy, then she asked for some food. In the afternoon, the doctor visited, “Even chances,” said the doctor, “with good nursing, you’ll win. And now I must see a fellow downstairs, Behrman, pneumonia, too. There is no hope for him.” The next day, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed and said, “Mr. Behrman died today. He was found lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning, wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, still lit, and some brushes, and-look out of the window, dear... Didn’t you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew? Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night when the last ivy leaf fell.” 46. 根据文本内容，从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 fail; light; prefer; worse; touch; change; encourage; count; hope; recover; success; last The ________ leaf Sue and Johnsy are friends with the same ________. → A deadly disease-pneumonia-swept the village, ________ many people, including Johnsy. ↓ ↓ Johnsy stayed in hospital, lying and staring at the vine tree ________. → The doctor said there’s a chance to ________ if she wanted to live. ↓ ↓ Sue attempted ________ her by drawing, which both of them are into. → Sue desperately kept ________ the number of leaves left, thinking she would die with the last one falling. ↓ ↓ Sue told Mr..

But there are only five left now. Five leaves! When the last one falls, I must go, too.” replied Johnsy.(“三天前还有差不多一百片呢，现在却只剩五片了。就五片叶子！等最后一片落下来，我也该走了。”琼西答道。)”可知，本文围绕常春藤的最后一片叶子展开，此处修饰leaf表示“最后的”。故填last。 2. 考查名词。根据第一段“At the top of a three-storey building in Greenwich Village lived a pair of friends, Sue and Johnsy, who liked the same kind of art, food, and clothes.(在格林威治村一栋三层楼的顶层，住着一对好友苏和琼西，她们喜欢相同类型的艺术、食物和衣服。)”可知，苏和琼西有着相同的喜好，“prefer”的名词复数形式preferences表示“喜好”。故填preferences。 3. 考查动词。根据第一段“Toward winter, a bad sickness — pneumonia (肺炎) — visited the village and touched many people, including Johnsy.(临近冬天，一种严重的疾病——肺炎，席卷了整个村庄，波及了许多人，包括琼西。)”可知，肺炎波及了很多人，句中已有谓语swept，此处用现在分词作伴随状语。故填touching。 4. 考查副词。根据第一段“She lay, barely moving, in her bed staring at a blank wall.(她躺在床上，几乎一动不动，盯着一面空白的墙。)”以及第四段琼西的话“When the last one falls, I must go, too.(当最后一片叶子落下时，我也必须走了。)”可知，琼西毫无希望地盯着快要掉光叶子的藤蔓，“hope”的副词形式hopelessly表示“绝望地”。故填hopelessly。 5. 考查动词。根据第二段“The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live.(医生把苏拉到一边说：“她只有一成的希望。而这一成希望就在于她想活下去。”)”可知，医生表示琼西如果想要活下去，就有康复的可能，不定式符号to后接动词原形。故填recover。 6. 考查动词。根据第二段“Sue began drawing in Johnsy’s room, attempting to raise Johnsy’s spirits.(苏开始在琼西的房间里画画，试图振奋她的精神。)”可知，苏试图通过画画的方式鼓励琼西，“attempt to do sth”为固定搭配，后接动词原形。故填to encourage。 7. 考查动词。根据第二段“Johnsy stared out the window, counting backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...”(琼西盯着窗外，倒着数：“十、九、八、七……”)”以及第四段琼西的话“Five leaves! When the last one falls, I must go, too.(五片叶子！最后一片落下时，我也必须走了。)”可知，琼西一直数着窗外剩下的叶子数量，“keep doing sth”为固定搭配，后接动词的-ing形式。故填counting。 8. 考查形容词。根据第五段“Then she went to fetch her neighbour, Mr. Behrman, who was a failed painter. In 40 years he had never produced a masterpiece.(然后她去找了邻居贝尔曼先生，他是一位失意的画家。四十年来，他从未创作出一幅杰作。)”可知，贝尔曼是一位失败的画家，用形容词修饰painter。故填failed。 9. 考查形容词。根据第五段“Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine and noticed there was just one remaining leaf. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.(贝尔曼和苏望向窗外的藤蔓，发现只剩下一片叶子了。更糟糕的是，一场冷雨夹杂着雪花在下着。)”可知，当时的情况变得更加糟糕，“worse still”为固定搭配，意为“更糟糕的是”，句首首字母大写。故填Worse。 10. 考查动词。根据第六段“Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. “It is a crime to want to die.” said Johnsy, then she asked for some food.(琼西躺了很久看着那片叶子。“想死是一种罪过。”琼西说，然后她要了些吃的。)”可知，琼西看到叶子始终未落后，改变了自己消极的生活态度，文章整体为一般过去时，用动词的过去式。故填changed。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more positively about living.” Sue began drawing in Johnsy’s room, attempting to raise Johnsy’s spirits. (医生把苏拉到一旁说：“她只有一成的希望，而这希望全看她自己想不想活。尽量鼓励她，让她对生活多抱点积极的心态。”于是苏开始在琼西的房间里画画，想让她打起精神来。)”以及第五段“Then she went to fetch her neighbour, Mr. Behrman, who was a failed painter. In 40 years he had never produced a masterpiece.(然后她去找了邻居贝尔曼先生，他是一位失意的画家。四十年来，他从未创作出一幅杰作。)”可知，苏遵照医生的嘱咐鼓励琼西积极面对生活，在琼西的房间里画画提振她的心情，还为了琼西向邻居贝尔曼求助。故答案为She encouraged Johnsy to think positively about living, drew in Johnsy’s room to raise her spirits and asked Mr. Behrman for help. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.(更糟糕的是，一场冷雨夹杂着雪花在下着。)”以及最后一段“And then they found a lantern, still lit, and some brushes, and-look out of the window, dear... Didn’t you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew? Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night when the last ivy leaf fell. (然后他们发现了一盏还亮着的灯笼，几支画笔，还有——亲爱的，看看窗外……你难道没纳闷吗，刮风的时候它怎么一动也不动？啊，亲爱的，那是贝尔曼的杰作——最后一片常春藤叶落下的那晚，他把它画在了那里。)”可知，贝尔曼在最后一片常春藤叶落下的雨夜，点着亮着的灯笼，拿着画笔，在墙上画了一片逼真的常春藤叶。故答案为He painted a realistic ivy leaf on the wall with a lighted lantern and some brushes on the night the last real ivy leaf fell. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段“Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. “It is a crime to want to die.” said Johnsy, then she asked for some food.(琼西躺了很久看着那片叶子。“想死是一种罪过。”琼西说，然后她要了些吃的。)”以及最后一段“Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night when the last ivy leaf fell.(啊，亲爱的，那是贝尔曼的杰作——他在最后一片常春藤叶落下的那个晚上把它画在了那里。)”可知，这片叶子让琼西重燃生的希望，也凝聚着贝尔曼用生命换来的对琼西无私的爱与奉献，是生的希望、信念的力量以及贝尔曼无私的爱与奉献的象征。故答案为It symbolizes the hope of living, the power of faith, and Mr. Behrman’s selfless love and dedication. 第五部分 写作(满分20分) 50. 假定你是李华，春节即将来临，为弘扬中国文化，你校将举办“中国传统文化展示周”(The Chinese Cultural Week)活动，请给你的朋友Tom写一封邮件，告知活动的相关内容并邀请他参加。 1.活动的目的； 2.活动的具体安排； 3.期待参加。 注意：1.词数100左右，开头结尾已给出； 2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 Dear Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Tom, How’s everything going?
