Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one’s admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden’s entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can’t have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
29. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Plants. B. Paintings. C. Classical gardens. D. Mystery and discovery.
30. What’s the purpose of this text?
A To list some plants and flowers. B. To introduce classical Chinese gardens.
C. To explain the history of classical gardens. D. To compare different classical gardens in China.
31. Which of the following best explains “glimpse” underlined in paragraph 6?
A. Look. B. Visit. C. Guess. D. Feeling.
32. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Nature Speaks for Itself B. Chinese Gardens and Western Gardens
C. Getting Lost in Classical Chinese Gardens D. Finding Ways to Modern Arts and Buildings
C
In many cases, you may find yourself or somebody faking (假笑) a smile in photos. Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos?
Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements. When we smile, we lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around our eyes to gather into folds. These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile, especially when the smile is small. Our brains are highly skilled at telling the differences in muscle movements. That’s why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard, discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake.
One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness (意识) of your appearance. The worry about posture, hair, and makeup can add to the stress, killing the chances of a real smile. A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language, but when you’re in front of the camera, trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff (僵硬的) and far from welcoming.
Besides, facial expressions are not always understood in the same way. A smile can mean differently in different cultures. For example, a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest. This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos.
However, we shouldn’t let this trouble us too much. So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy.
Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work!
33. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By telling stories.
34 What is a real smile connected with?
A. Personal characters. B. Educational backgrounds.
C. Muscle movements. D. Professional achievements.
35. What is a reason for people’s unnatural smiles?
A. They fail to hide their feelings. B. They are tired of taking photos.
C. They care too much about their looks. D. They are weak in performing tricks.
36. What may help you give a real smile according to the writer?
A. Recalling a strange story. B. Practicing smiles in the mirror.
C. Improving your expression abilities. D. Thinking of a humorous moment.
D
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons, and walking around with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.
That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the man’s hand and trousers covered in blood.
“How much are they paying you for this?” he asked.
“I only get fifty dollars.”
“And the man who stole him—how much did he get?” asked the barman.
“A hundred. He wouldn’t take less.”
“That makes a hundred and fifty. It’s a good price for a dog like him. Here help me to get him into this.”
They took off Buck’s rope and pushed him into a wooden box. He spent the night in the box in the back room of the bar. His neck still ached with pain from the rope, and he could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? And where was Mr Miller?
The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the north.
—Taken from The Call of the Wild
37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the second paragraph?
A. Buck never walked around with Mr Miller’s kids.
B. Buck was the only dog in Mr Miller’s house.
C. Buck didn’t get along well with Mr Miller’s gardeners.
D. Buck lived a peaceful life in Mr Miller’s house.
38. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?
a.Men had found gold in the Yukon. b.Buck was put on a train to the north.
c.Buck was sold to a man at the railway station. d.Buck was thrown into the box of the bar.
A. a-c-d-b B. c-d-b-a C. a-c-b-d D. c-b-d-a
39. What is the story mainly about?
A. Animals’ trust in humans. B. People’s discovery of gold.
C. Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s. D. The turning point of Buck’s life.
40. In the end, what may happen to Buck?
A. He may live happily in the Yukon. B. He may be sent to help look for gold.
C. He may run away back to Mr Miller’s house. D. He may be killed by the barman.

七、阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。(本大题共3小题,满分7分)
As many pet owners know, pets can make a person’s day bright and even provide comfort in difficult times. Now a survey has shown that owning pets is good for our mental (心理的) health. More than 2,000 American adults took part in the survey. Of these adults, 72% said they had pets. Dogs were the most common type of animal, followed by cats.
Among pet owners, 84% said their pets had mostly good influence on their mental health. About 64% said their pets provided love and support, while 62% said their pets provided a calming presence and lowered stress and anxiety. Dog and cat owners were especially likely to say their pets were good for their mental health.
“We see the powerful relationship between people and their animals,” said Rena Carlson, president of the AVMA. “From offering presence and love to lowering stress and worries, pets can give us comfort and support.”
A recent study by researchers in Australia got the same result. It found that having a dog led children to be more active because they walked and played with their pets. Girls who had a dog exercised 52 more minutes per day than those who didn’t.
However, pets can also cause worries to owners, especially when it comes to the animals’ health. More than half of pet owners were worried about their pets having health problems, growing older, or passing away. Many people also tried their best to arrange pet care when they travelled.
64. What animals were the second most common type of pets?
________________________________________
65. Why were children with a dog more active?
________________________________________
66. What else is good for our mental health besides (除了) owning pets? Why?

考查感叹句和连词。空一所在句是感叹句,snow是名词,这里表示“一场雪”,符合“What+a/an+形容词+名词+(主谓)!”结构,heavy是辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a;because因为;since既然;as因为;though尽管。根据句意可知,空二所在句表示既然下大雪,那就步行吧,since符合语境。故选B。

考查不定代词。such如此;a little一些;so如此;few很少,几乎没。so/such…that“如此……以至于”,so修饰形容词或副词;such修饰名词;句中“advice”是不可数名词,所以第一空用such修饰;根据“He offered…valuable advice”可知,建议很宝贵,几乎没人不同意,第二空填few。故选D。

C. when you will finish reading it D. who you will borrow one from

Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one’s admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden’s entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can’t have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
29. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Plants. B. Paintings. C. Classical gardens. D. Mystery and discovery.
30. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To list some plants and flowers. B. To introduce classical Chinese gardens.
C. To explain the history of classical gardens. D. To compare different classical gardens in China.
31. Which of the following best explains “glimpse” underlined in paragraph 6?
A. Look. B. Visit. C. Guess. D. Feeling.
32. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Nature Speaks for Itself B. Chinese Gardens and Western Gardens
C. Getting Lost in Classical Chinese Gardens D. Finding Ways to Modern Arts and Buildings
【答案】29. C 30. B 31. A 32. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国古典园林的特点和构成元素,包括水、石、植物、门窗和亭子等。

主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了中国古典园林的特点和构成元素。故选B。

词句猜测题。根据“You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.”可知,人们可以从窗口瞥见另一边有趣树木或岩石。划线部分glimpse意为“瞥见”,与Look意思相近。故选A。
【32题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了中国古典园林的特点和构成元素,以及人们在其中的体验,故“迷失在中国古典园林中”适合作为文章标题。故选C。
C
In many cases, you may find yourself or somebody faking (假笑) a smile in photos. Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos?
Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements. When we smile, we lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around our eyes to gather into folds. These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile, especially when the smile is small. Our brains are highly skilled at telling the differences in muscle movements. That’s why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard, discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake.
One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness (意识) of your appearance. The worry about posture, hair, and makeup can add to the stress, killing the chances of a real smile. A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language, but when you’re in front of the camera, trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff (僵硬的) and far from welcoming.
Besides, facial expressions are not always understood in the same way. A smile can mean differently in different cultures. For example, a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest. This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos.
However, we shouldn’t let this trouble us too much. So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy.
Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work!
33. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By telling stories.
34. What is a real smile connected with?
A. Personal characters. B. Educational backgrounds.
C. Muscle movements. D. Professional achievements.
35. What is a reason for people’s unnatural smiles?
A. They fail to hide their feelings. B. They are tired of taking photos.
C. They care too much about their looks. D. They are weak in performing tricks.
36. What may help you give a real smile according to the writer?
A. Recalling a strange story. B. Practicing smiles in the mirror.
C. Improving your expression abilities. D. Thinking of a humorous moment.
【答案】33. A 34. C 35. C 36. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了假笑与真笑的区别、假笑容易被识破的原因以及如何在拍照时展现自然笑容的科学解释和建议。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In many cases, you may find yourself or somebody faking (假笑) a smile in photos. Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos?”可知,作者以提问的方式引入话题。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle movements”可知,真笑具有两种主要的肌肉动作特征,即与肌肉运动有关。故选C。
【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work!”可知,或许回忆起一段快乐的往事,或者只是回想一下读过的一个有趣的故事,这样应该会有效果。因此,回忆幽默时刻或许能帮助展现真实笑容。故选D。

Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons, and walking around with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.
That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the man’s hand and trousers covered in blood.
“How much are they paying you for this?” he asked.
“I only get fifty dollars.”
“And the man who stole him—how much did he get?” asked the barman.
“A hundred. He wouldn’t take less.”
“That makes a hundred and fifty. It’s a good price for a dog like him. Here help me to get him into this.”
They took off Buck’s rope and pushed him into a wooden box. He spent the night in the box in the back room of the bar. His neck still ached with pain from the rope, and he could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? And where was Mr Miller?
The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the north.
—Taken from The Call of the Wild

49. After learning about the ________ (获胜者) life experiences, everyone was deeply moved by their courage and kindness.
【答案】winners’
【解析】
【详解】句意:在了解了获胜者们的人生经历后,每个人都被他们的勇气和善良深深打动。根据提示可知,“获胜者”对应的英文是winner;句中“their”提示此处指代多名获胜者,因此用复数形式winners,并加上所有格符号,表示 “获胜者们的”。故填winners’。
50. The suspect was breathing h________ and had blood on his shirt.

七、阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。(本大题共3小题,满分7分)
As many pet owners know, pets can make a person’s day bright and even provide comfort in difficult times. Now a survey has shown that owning pets is good for our mental (心理的) health. More than 2,000 American adults took part in the survey. Of these adults, 72% said they had pets. Dogs were the most common type of animal, followed by cats.
Among pet owners, 84% said their pets had mostly good influence on their mental health. About 64% said their pets provided love and support, while 62% said their pets provided a calming presence and lowered stress and anxiety. Dog and cat owners were especially likely to say their pets were good for their mental health.
“We see the powerful relationship between people and their animals,” said Rena Carlson, president of the AVMA. “From offering presence and love to lowering stress and worries, pets can give us comfort and support.”
A recent study by researchers in Australia got the same result. It found that having a dog led children to be more active because they walked and played with their pets. Girls who had a dog exercised 52 more minutes per day than those who didn’t.
However, pets can also cause worries to owners, especially when it comes to the animals’ health. More than half of pet owners were worried about their pets having health problems, growing older, or passing away. Many people also tried their best to arrange pet care when they travelled.
64. What animals were the second most common type of pets?
________________________________________
65. Why were children with a dog more active?
________________________________________
66. What else is good for our mental health besides (除了) owning pets? Why?
________________________________________
【答案】64. Cats.
65. Because they walked and played with their pets.
66. Exercise is also good for mental health because it reduces stress and improves mood.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了养宠物对人们心理健康的积极影响,以及宠物可能带来的担忧。
【64题详解】
根据“Dogs were the most common type of animal, followed by cats.”可知,狗是最常见的宠物,猫紧随其后,也就是说第二常见的宠物是猫。故填Cats.
【65题详解】
根据“It found that having a dog led children to be more active because they walked and played with their pets.”可知,养狗的孩子更活跃是因为他们和宠物一起散步和玩耍。故填Because they walked and played with their pets.
【66题详解】
开放性作答,答案不唯一,言之有理即可。参考答案为Exercise is also good for mental health because it reduces stress and improves mood.
