A. service B. money C. practice D. information
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——丽莎,今年冬天我们去哪里度假?——我不知道。让我们在网上获取一些信息吧。

A. big B. bigger C. small D. smaller
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看那个玩具卡车。——我看到了。它看起来像真的一个。它只是更小一些。
考查形容词比较级。big大;bigger更大;small小;smaller更小。根据“Look at that toy truck.”可知,此处是将玩具卡车和真的卡车作比较,表示玩具卡车更小,两者比较用比较级。所以这里应该用smaller。故选D。
3. The man helped the kid ________ the books on the table because she was too young to get them.
A. sell B. reach C. write D. read
【答案】B
【解析】

A. creative B. serious C. outgoing D. lucky

【详解】句意:——我能和格林先生通话吗?——我很抱歉,但是他现在没有时间。他正在开一个重要的会议。
考查动词时态。根据“but he doesn’t have time now”可知,格林先生现在没有时间,说明他正在开会,所以应该用现在进行时“be + 动词的现在分词”,主语“He”是第三人称单数,be动词用is,have的现在分词是having,所以用is having。故选B。

A. told B. am telling C. will tell D. tell
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——埃拉,你能告诉我如何完成这道练习题吗?——我马上就告诉你。请等一下。

I’m David. In August, my parents and I took a five-day trip in Shenzhen. The best part of our trip was the visit to Window of the World. It was on our third day in the city.
Window of the World is a well-known theme (主题) park in China. It has an area of 480,000 m² in Shenzhen. As the name shows, it is the window of the world. The theme park is home to about 130 miniatures (微小模型) of the world’s famous places of interest, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids and the Sydney Opera House. By walking around the park, it seems that you are traveling all over the world.
The theme park is so big that you need to walk for quite a long time to see everything inside. We had some fun games along the way. We also tasted some food from other countries. At night, we watched fireworks (烟花) shows, and they were really fantastic. But my favorite part was the Alps Ice and Snow World. It is the biggest indoor ice theme park in China. I also tried my hand at skiing. It was really interesting!
The park also holds different activities for different holidays and festivals. In the summer holiday, the International Beer Festival is popular with visitors. For Chinese National Day, the park will put on a pop music festival. It is the favorite of young people. World dances and singing galas (盛会) are held to celebrate (庆祝) Chinese New Year every year.
If you are planning for your next holiday, why not come to Window of the World? It’s a good place for you to learn about the world in a fun way.
43. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The size of Window of the World.
B. The history of Window of the World.
C. The activities in Window of the World.

Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains? Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment (实验) and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans. Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice in experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
48. What did Perry study in his experiments?
A. How bees sleep. B. How bees think. C. How bees dream. D. How bees move.
49. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Bees can talk. B. Bees are lazy. C. Bees like sugar. D. Bees can answer questions.
50. What would bees do when the task was easy according to Paragraph 3?
A. They would try it. B. They would avoid it. C. They would praise it. D. They would destroy it.
51. What’s the importance of looking into bees’ brains?
A. It helps us learn how human brains work. B. It tells us how to make thoughtful choices.
C It lets us know how to deal with information. D. It helps us know better how bees live together.
52. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Art. B. Health. C. Animal. D. Technology.
【答案】48. B 49. C 50. A 51. A 52. C

【导语】本文主要讲述了“知音”一词的来源,源于春秋时期俞伯牙和钟子期的故事。俞伯牙擅长弹奏古琴,钟子期能理解他音乐中的情感,二人成为好友。钟子期去世后,俞伯牙悲痛欲绝,摔琴绝弦。宋朝时人们建古琴台纪念二人友谊,如今知音文化在新时期有了新的发展,如在G20峰会上演奏的《高山流水》展现了中国传统文化之美以及与世界各国发展友谊的愿望。
【53题详解】
根据前文“Boya was good at playing guqin.”以及后文“To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, who made a living by cutting wood, happened to pass by. He could understand what Boya wanted to show through his music.”可知,前文说俞伯牙擅长弹古琴,后文说钟子期碰巧路过并能理解他音乐想表达的内容,由此推知空格处应说明俞伯牙在弹琴。选项E“有一天他在乘船回家的路上弹奏音乐。”符合语境,故选E。

根据前文“However, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died. Boya felt very sad.”以及后文“The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying.”可知,前文说俞伯牙得知钟子期去世后很伤心,后文说音乐情感强烈,仿佛山河都在哭泣,由此推知空格处应说明俞伯牙又弹奏了音乐。选项G“他拿出古琴,再次弹奏了他们初次见面时弹奏的音乐。”符合语境,故选G。
【56题详解】
根据前文“After playing the music, he said, ‘My best friend is dead. No one understands my music now.’ Then he broke his guqin into pieces.”可知,俞伯牙在弹奏完音乐后说最好的朋友死了,没人能理解他的音乐了,然后摔坏了古琴,由此推知空格处应说明他之后不再弹琴。选项B“从那以后,伯牙再也没有弹过琴。”符合语境,故选B。

I’m David. In August, my parents and I took a five-day trip in Shenzhen. The best part of our trip was the visit to Window of the World. It was on our third day in the city.
Window of the World is a well-known theme (主题) park in China. It has an area of 480,000 m² in Shenzhen. As the name shows, it is the window of the world. The theme park is home to about 130 miniatures (微小模型) of the world’s famous places of interest, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids and the Sydney Opera House. By walking around the park, it seems that you are traveling all over the world.
The theme park is so big that you need to walk for quite a long time to see everything inside. We had some fun games along the way. We also tasted some food from other countries. At night, we watched fireworks (烟花) shows, and they were really fantastic. But my favorite part was the Alps Ice and Snow World. It is the biggest indoor ice theme park in China.

Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains? Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment (实验) and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans. Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice in experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
48. What did Perry study in his experiments?
A. How bees sleep. B. How bees think. C. How bees dream. D. How bees move.
49. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Bees can talk. B. Bees are lazy. C. Bees like sugar. D. Bees can answer questions.
50. What would bees do when the task was easy according to Paragraph 3?
A. They would try it. B. They would avoid it. C. They would praise it. D. They would destroy it.
51. What’s the importance of looking into bees’ brains?
A. It helps us learn how human brains work. B. It tells us how to make thoughtful choices.
C. It lets us know how to deal with information. D. It helps us know better how bees live together.
52. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Art. B. Health. C. Animal. D. Technology.
