A. at B. on C. in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：搭载三名宇航员的神舟二十一号于2025年10月31日成功发射。 考查时间介词。at在(某时间或时刻)；on在（某一天），用于具体的日期；in在，用于月份、季节、年份等较长的时间段。空格后为“October 31, 2025”，是具体的日期，应用介词on。故选B。 2. —Bad luck! My umbrella is broken. —Don’t worry. Share ________. A. me B. mine C. myself 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——真倒霉！我的伞坏了。——别担心。共用我的（伞）。 考查代词辨析。me我，人称代词宾格；mine我的，名词性物主代词；myself我自己，反身代词。根据“My umbrella is broken.”可知，此处建议共用自己的伞，空后没有名词，需用名词性物主代词mine指代“my umbrella”。故选B。 3. —This dish of Chinese dumplings looks so inviting. Who ________ it? —Betty, my younger sister. A. has made B. is making C. will make 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这盘中国饺子看起来真诱人。谁做的？——我的妹妹贝蒂。 考查现在完成时。根据“This dish of Chinese dumplings looks so inviting.”可知，动作“做”发生在过去且对现在有影响（饺子现在看起来诱人），应用现在完成时，谓语结构为have/has done。故选A。 4. —________ have you stayed in Quanzhou? —Since five years ago. I’ve experienced great changes here. A. How long B. How often C. How soon 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你在泉州待了多久了？——自从五年前。我在这里经历了巨大的变化。 考查特殊疑问句。How long 多久（询问时间段）；How often 多久一次（询问频率）；How soon 多久以后（询问将来时间）。答语“Since five years ago”表示“自从五年前”，强调持续的时间长度，因此问句应询问时间段。故选A。 5. It’s a great honor for me to share with you the new ________ by Dr. Smith. A. introduction B. explanation C. invention 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：能与你分享史密斯博士的新发明，我感到非常荣幸。 考查名词辨析。introduction介绍；explanation解释；invention发明。根据“Dr. Smith”和“new”可知，此处应指“新发明”，符合科学家身份和“分享”的语境。故选C。 6. —May I clean the windows for Chinese New Year? —No, you ________ . It’s dangerous for you. A. won’t B. mustn’t C. needn’t 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我可以为春节擦窗户吗？——不，你不可以。这对你来说很危险。 考查情态动词辨析。won’t不会；mustn’t禁止，不可以；needn’t不必。根据答语“It’s dangerous for you.”可知，因为危险，所以是“禁止、不允许”对方擦窗户，强调不允许做某事。故选B。 7. ________ of them are in the kitchen because they are watching National Treasure, their favorite TV program. A. None B. Both C. All 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们都没在厨房，因为他们正在看《国家宝藏》，这是他们最喜欢的电视节目。 考查不定代词辨析。None没有一个；Both两者都；All三者及以上都。根据“because they are watching National Treasure”可知，他们都在看电视，所以没人在厨房，且“them”未明确人数，但结合语境，此处应表示他们全部都不在厨房，“None”符合句意。故选A。 8. This morning I saw the young lady ________ an old man her own seat on the bus. A. afford B. provide C. offer 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：今天早上，我看到那位年轻女士在公交车上给一位老人让座。 考查动词辨析。afford负担得起；provide提供；offer主动提供。根据“I saw the young lady...an old man her own seat on the bus”可知，此处表示“主动让座”，结构为“offer sb sth”。故选C。 9. Just stick to your goal, ________ you will realize your dream very soon, I bet. A. and B. or C. for 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：只要坚持你的目标，我打赌你很快就能实现梦想。 考查并列连词辨析。and和，并且；or或者，否则；for因为。根据句意，前半句“坚持目标”与后半句“实现梦想”是顺承关系，使用“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构，表示“如果……就……”。故选A。 10. —How can I ________ you? —By email, please. A. keep away from B. pay attention to C. get in touch with 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我怎样才能和你取得联系？——请通过电子邮件。 考查动词短语。keep away from远离；pay attention to注意；get in touch with与……联系。根据答语“By email, please.”可知，问句询问联系方式，故选C。 11. My mother often teaches me to tell the truth, so as to grow into a(n) ________ boy. A. honest B. awful C. proud 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我妈妈经常教我讲实话，以便成长为一个诚实的男孩。 考查形容词辨析。honest诚实的；awful糟糕的；proud骄傲的。根据前文“teaches me to tell the truth”可知，目的是成为“诚实的”男孩，其他选项不符合逻辑。故选A。 12. Thanks to the government, two new primary schools ________ in my hometown last year. A. build B. built C. were built 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：感谢政府，去年我的家乡建了两所新小学。 考查被动语态。主语“两所新小学”和动词“建造”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态结构be done。故选C。 13. —Your grandpa likes playing the erhu. —________. Now, there goes his favorite music again. A. So he does B. So does he C. He does so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你爷爷喜欢拉二胡。——确实如此。你听，现在他最爱的曲子又响起来了。 考查倒装句的用法。So he does表示确实如此，用于肯定上文提到的情况；So does he表示他也一样，用于说明另一人也如此；He does so不符合英语习惯表达。根据对话，后者是在肯定前者爷爷喜欢拉二胡这一事实，而非表示另一人也喜欢拉二胡，应用“So+主语+助动词/系动词/情态动词”结构。故选A。 14. ________ the field trip was a bit tiring, all of us did enjoy ourselves. A. If B. Though C. Since 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管这次实地考察有点累，但我们所有人都玩得很开心。 考查连词辨析。If如果；Though尽管；Since自从/既然。前半句说“有点累”，后半句说“玩得开心”，前后是让步关系，应选用表示“尽管”的连词。故选B。 15. —The ping-pong game that we watched late that night was truly exciting. —Yeah, I wonder ________. A. how it will be on again B. when will it be on again C. whether it will be on again 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——那天晚上我们看的那场乒乓球比赛真的很激动人心。——是啊，我想知道它是否会再次播出。 考查宾语从句语序和连接词。宾语从句需用陈述语序，B项“when will it be on again”为疑问语序，错误；A项“how it will be on again”（它将如何再次播出）和C项“whether it will be on again”（它是否会再次播出）均为正确语序。根据语境，前文提到比赛很精彩，后文自然表达希望或询问“是否会重播”，whether更符合对话逻辑。故选C。 Ⅲ.完形填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 For Those in Need Last year, I worked near Granny’s house, and I stayed with her for a month.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要写了作者帮奶奶做家务买食物时发现食物消耗异常，跟踪后得知奶奶一直给流浪儿童送食物，便理解了奶奶的善意，此后继续给奶奶买食物还会多准备一份送给孩子们。。 【16题详解】 句意：在那段时间里，我是她的帮手，帮她做家务和买食物。 helper帮手；laborer劳动者；servant仆人，佣人。根据后文 “doing housework and buying food”，作者是在帮助奶奶做家务，所以 “helper” 最符合语境。“laborer” 和 “servant” 的语义过重，不符合日常帮助长辈的情境。故选A。 【17题详解】 句意：第一周后，我发现食物被迅速地吃完了。 directly直接地；rapidly迅速地；normally正常地。根据后文 “I was completely puzzled at this.”，作者对食物的消耗情况感到十分困惑，说明食物是被迅速吃完的，“rapidly” 贴合语境。“directly” 和 “normally” 无法体现让作者困惑的食物消耗速度，不符合文意。故选B。 【18题详解】 句意：然后，奶奶的举动引起了我的注意。 actions行动，举动；kindness善良，好意；research 研究，调查。根据后文 “She would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning.”，后文描述了奶奶的具体行为，所以是奶奶的举动引起了作者注意，“actions” 符合语境。“kindness” 是抽象品质，“research” 与上下文毫无关联。故选 A。 【19题详解】 句意：最终，我决定跟着她。 Probably可能；Finally最终；Generally通常。作者先是发现食物消耗快感到困惑，又注意到奶奶的异常行为，最后做出了跟踪奶奶的决定，“Finally” 体现了事件的发展逻辑。“Probably” 表推测、“Generally” 表通常情况，均无法体现这种从观察到行动的递进关系。故选B。 【20题详解】 句意：她还会和他们进行很多交流。 argument 争论，争吵；agreement 同意，一致；communication交流，沟通。奶奶给流浪儿童送食物，结合语境可知她会和孩子们进行交流，“communication” 贴合这份善意的场景。“argument” 表争执、“agreement” 表共识，均与上下文温暖的氛围不符。故选C。 【21题详解】 句意：有一天，我和邻居聊天，得知奶奶在这个地区很有名的。 strict严格的；powerful强大的；well-known有名的，众所周知的。根据后文 “The children were friendly with her and even considered her as their own granny.”，孩子们对奶奶十分亲近，能看出奶奶在这个地区是有名的、受孩子们喜爱的，“well-known” 符合语境。“strict” 和 “powerful” 均与孩子们对奶奶的友好态度相矛盾。故选C。 【22题详解】 句意：孩子们对她很友好，甚至把她看作自己的奶奶。 trained 训练；considered 认为，看作；allowed 允许。“consider sb. as...” 是固定搭配，意为 “把某人看作······”，此处指孩子们把奶奶看作自己的亲奶奶，“considered” 符合搭配和语境。“trained” 和 “allowed” 既无此搭配，也无法体现孩子们对奶奶的情感。故选B。 【23题详解】 句意：她是不是担心，如果我发现（这件事），就会停止买食物？ got back回来，取回；turned up出现，调大；found out发现，查明。作者疑惑奶奶隐瞒自己送食物的事，推测奶奶是担心自己发现真相后停止买食物，“found out” 贴合 “发现秘密” 的语境。“got back” 和 “turned up” 均无法表达 “查明、发现真相” 的含义。故选C。 【24题详解】 句意：然后，我告诉她不必对我保密这件事。 secret秘密；source来源；legend传说。“keep a secret from sb.” 是固定搭配，意为 “对某人保密”，此处指作者告诉奶奶不必对自己隐瞒这件事，“secret” 符合搭配和语境。“source” 和 “legend” 均与 “保密” 的语义无关，也无此固定搭配。故选A。 【25题详解】 句意：从那以后，我继续给奶奶买食物。 offered主动提出；expected期待，预料；continued继续。根据后文 “But I always added another bag for her other grandsons.”，作者不仅继续给奶奶买食物，还多买一份给流浪儿童，“continued” 体现了行为的延续性。“offered” 表主动提出、“expected” 表期待，均无法体现这种持续做某事的含义。故选C。 Ⅳ.阅读理解(共两节，25小题;满分45分) 第一节 阅读以下A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分) A We have some of the best summer camps that focus on (专注于) teen tours.

The first place that most interested me was Yunnan Province. Then I set off for a new world. From the moment I walked out of the train station, Lijiang caught my eye and heart. The nice atmosphere (氛围) filled me with joy. I started to make my way through the streets of the old town. When I arrived at my homestay, a traditional wooden house and a huge white dog welcomed me. Then a laoban, or “boss”, showed up and I was able to check in. On the first day, I set out on a walk through Heilongtan Park. But some time later, I found myself walking all the way to a mountain by Heilongtan, where I took many photos of the attractive scenes. Then I received an invitation from the laoban to have a cup of tea with him. When I got back to the homestay, the laoban and his brother were waiting for me. I spent several hours with them drinking tea and talking. Later, their mother and sister came and joined us. They kept offering me different kinds of local foods that I loved very much. I was often ashamed because I could not understand them. And they also felt out of place from time to time because they could not find the proper words in English. But our conversation turned out one of the nicest conversations I’ve ever had in China! I could not have been more thankful for the chance to meet this wonderful family. They showed an unbelievably strong family tie and even made me feel like one of their own. This short trip has filled me with hope and strong interest in traveling more in China. 31.

My Unforgettable Walk in Heilongtan Park 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位在中国留学的女毕业生赴云南丽江旅行的经历。她被古城氛围吸引，在黑龙潭公园游玩后受邀与民宿老板一家相聚，尽管语言不通，却相处融洽。这家人的热情与亲情让她倍感温暖，这段经历也激发了她探索中国更多地方的渴望。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a girl graduate studying in China”可知，作者是在中国学习的女毕业生，也就是说作者在中国留学。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From the moment I walked out of the train station, Lijiang caught my eye and heart. The nice atmosphere filled me with joy.”可知，从作者走出火车站的那一刻起，丽江就吸引了她的目光和心，那美好的氛围让作者充满喜悦。因此，“氛围”是直接俘获她心的原因。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then I received an invitation from the laoban to have a cup of tea with him.”可知，作者收到了民宿老板的喝茶邀请。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This short trip has filled me with hope and strong interest in traveling more in China.”可知，这次短暂的旅行，让作者充满期待，也激发了她在中国更多地旅行、探索的浓厚兴趣；而使她对这次旅行产生如此积极感受的直接原因，就是前文详细描述的与老板一家的温馨互动 (喝茶、聊天、吃美食)。第三段末尾她甚至说这是“我在中国有过的最美好的对话之一”，正是这种人文体验激发了她的兴趣。故选D。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文，尤其是根据最后一段“I could not have been more thankful for the chance to meet this wonderful family. They showed an unbelievably strong family tie and even made me feel like one of their own.”可知，本文通过描述作者在丽江的所见所闻，特别是与当地民宿老板一家亲切互动的经历，表达了旅行中人情温暖的珍贵，以及跨文化交流的美好体验如何激发了作者深入了解中国的强烈兴趣；核心在于“人”与“情感纽带”，而非单纯的风景观光；选项B“在新世界中感受家的温暖”中“new world”对应丽江这个陌生之地，“feeling at home”精准契合文章情感主旨，最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 C Amazing Space “Curiosity”, NASA’s Mars rover, recently took the world by surprise. It took a picture of a small “flower” while it was exploring the surface of Mars. Clearly, it’s not an actual flower. But it could be a rock that had been created a long time ago. Back then, the Red Planet possibly had water on its surface. The effort of the rover could help answer the question of whether life ever existed (存在) on Mars and understand when Mars might have been most suitable to host life. Scientists are feeling psyched about these findings because they provide information about the planet’s past environment. Saturn’s amazing rings, which are made of ice and rocks, won’t last forever. Scientists say that they are slowly breaking apart and will totally disappear in about 300 million years. They say the rings now may be 10~100 million years old. According to The Atlantic, a popular American magazine, 10 tons of “ring matter” fall into Saturn every second. They all get pulled by Saturn’s gravity (引力). Studying these rings helps scientists learn how planets form and change over time. It reminds us that even amazing things in space don’t last forever. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also have ring systems. Saturn has the largest rings. Though the others’ rings aren’t as easy to see, they may have had bigger rings in the past. 36. What can we know about the small “flower”? A. It was shot by accident. B. It is a “flower-like” plant. C. It helps us better understand Mars. D. It proves there were life on Mars. 37. What does the underlined word “psyched” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Lucky. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Discouraged. 38. How does the writer present the result of the disappearance of Saturn’s rings? A By offering numbers. B. By asking scientists. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 39. Which is described as having the largest ring system? A. Jupiter. B. Uranus. C. Neptune. D. Saturn. 40. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare Mars with Saturn. B. To show the new discoveries of space. C. To introduce the changes of the two planets. D. To encourage us to protect our home planet. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了NASA火星探测器发现类“花”岩石、土星环将消失及行星环系统等太空新发现，帮助人们了解行星的过去与变化。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The effort of the rover could help answer the question of whether life ever existed on Mars and understand when Mars might have been most suitable to host life”可知，这朵形似“花”的岩石能帮助人类更深入了解火星，故选C。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“because they provide information about the planet’s past environment”可知，发现提供了火星过去环境的信息，科学家应是“兴奋的”，故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“will totally disappear in about 300 million years”“10~100 million years old”“10 tons of ‘ring matter’ fall into Saturn every second”可知，作者通过列数字呈现结果，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Saturn has the largest rings.”可知，土星有最大的行星环系统，故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“好奇号”在火星的新发现、土星环的研究新结论展开可知，文章核心目的是展示太空领域的各类新发现，故选B。 D Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra (管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore (忽视) the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise. Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again. So music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. 41. What is the text mainly about? A. Music for patients. B. Two university studies. C. Music and language learning. D. Language abilities and the brain. 42. What were the people in the first group asked to do? A. Listen to different kinds of music. B. Make some noise in an empty room. C. Give the second group musical training. D. Find out what the talking person was saying. 43. The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain ________. A. how musicians play in an orchestra B. how musicians ignore certain sounds C. why musicians have better hearing ability D. why musicians are not afraid of loud noise 44. Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by ________. A. playing music for them B. getting them to sing words C. teaching them to play instruments D. treating the bad parts of their brain 45. What does the writer think of music? A. Mainly enjoyable. B.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了音乐对听力的提升作用以及其帮助中风患者修复语言功能的原理，从而论证了音乐对大脑发展和语言能力的多种益处。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章开头“Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.”及全文围绕此命题展开的研究与分析，可推知文章核心主题为探讨音乐与语言学习之间的联系。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.”可知，作为研究的一部分，两组参与者共同的直接任务是聆听并识别嘈杂房间里某个人的说话内容。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.”可推知作者举例是为了解释音乐家拥有更强听力能力的原因。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak.”可知，Gottfried Schlaug医生采用的独特治疗方法是通过引导患者唱出词汇来帮助他们恢复说话能力。故选B。 【45题详解】 观点态度题。根据结尾总结句“So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways.”可知，作者并非仅将音乐视为娱乐，更充分肯定了其在提升能力、促进健康等方面的多重功能。故选D。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) E Life is always changing.

Ⅶ.短文填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Each Chinese person knows the line of the poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” But many don’t ____61____ (actual) get its real meaning: Don’t waste food. It is ____62____ (report) that the food wasted in the world every year is enough to feed millions upon millions ____63____ people for a year. However, according to the UN World Food Program, about 700 million people are in the state of ____64____ (be) seriously hungry every year. Food waste is more than just ____65____ social problem—it also hurts our planet. When uneaten food ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), it breaks down and produces ____66____ (harm) greenhouse gases, mainly methane (甲烷). This gas is a major cause of climate change ____67____ air pollution. Still, wasting food that is produced but never eaten wastes water, energy, and land, and even ____68____ (pollute) rivers and soil with chemicals used in farming. Therefore, by correcting the ____69____ (behavior) that cause food waste, we are not only helping those hungry people, but also protecting our environment in the long run. A small act makes a big _____70_____ (different). Let’s say no to food waste! 【答案】61. actually 62. reported 63. of 64. being 65. a 66. harmful 67. and 68. pollutes 69. behaviors 70. difference 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过引用诗句、列举数据和科学分析，阐明了全球食物浪费的严重性及其对环境 (产生温室气体、污染等) 和社会的多重危害，进而呼吁个人纠正浪费行为，以帮助饥饿人口并长远保护环境。 【61题详解】 句意：但很多人并没有真正领会它的真正含义：不要浪费食物。空格后“get”是动词，此处应用actual的副词是actually“实际上，真正地”，在句中作状语，修饰动词“get”。故填actually。 【62题详解】 句意：据报道，全球每年被浪费的粮食，足以养活数以百万计的人口整整一年。固定句型“It is reported that...”意为“据报道……”，被动语态结构。故填reported。 【63题详解】 句意：据报道，全球每年被浪费的粮食，足以养活数以百万计的人口整整一年。“millions of”是固定搭配，意为“数百万的”，“millions upon millions”是强化说法，后面同样要接介词of。故填of。 【64题详解】 句意：然而，据联合国世界粮食计划署统计，每年约有7亿人处于严重饥饿的状态中。介词of后面应接名词或动名词，be的动名词形式是being，“being hungry”构成动名词短语作“of”的宾语。故填being。 【65题详解】 句意：食物浪费不仅仅是一个社会问题，它还会危害我们的地球。空格后“problem”是可数名词单数，且首次提及，“social”以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a表示“一个”。故填a。 【66题详解】 句意：当未被食用的食物进入垃圾填埋场，会分解并产生有害的温室气体，主要是甲烷。空格后“greenhouse gases”是名词短语，应用harm的形容词形式harmful“有害的”，在句中作定语，修饰“greenhouse gases”。故填harmful。 【67题详解】 句意：这种气体是气候变化和空气污染的主要原因之一。“climate change”和“air pollution”是两个并列的名词短语，应用and连接。故填and。 【68题详解】 句意：此外，浪费那些生产出来却从未被食用的食物，会浪费水资源、能源和土地，甚至还会因农业生产中使用的化学物质污染河流与土壤。句子主语“wasting food that is produced but never eaten”是动名词短语，视为单数概念；其谓语动词是“wastes”，“and even”连接并列谓语；因此，这里需用第三人称单数形式pollutes，与“wastes”并列。故填pollutes。 【69题详解】 句意：因此，通过纠正导致食物浪费的行为，我们不仅能帮助饥饿人群，也能长期保护我们的环境。空格后“that cause food waste”为定语从句，其中“cause”为原形，先行词需用复数形式behaviors。故填behaviors。 【70题详解】 句意：小小的举动会产生重大的影响。“make a difference”是固定短语，意为“起作用；有影响；带来改变”。different是形容词，此处需用其名词形式difference。故填difference。 Ⅷ.书面表达(15分) 71. 假定你是某校学生李华，你班决定组织同学们端午节当天去西湖观看龙舟比赛。请你结合内容提示，用英语给交流生Harry写封邮件，邀请他一同前往，感受中国传统文化。词数80左右。 Time to meet 8:30 a. m., June 25 Place to meet school gate Way of travel by bike About the dragon boat race * In the past: to remember Qu Yuan * Now: a sport Feeling(s) … 注意事项： 1.必须包含所提示的信息，可适当发挥，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数; 2.意思清楚，表达通顺，行文连贯，书写规范; 3.请勿在文中使用真实的姓名、校名及提示信息以外的地名。 Dear Harry, How are things going? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Harry, How are things going?

B As a girl graduate studying in China, I would like to see places less known to Westerners. The first place that most interested me was Yunnan Province. Then I set off for a new world. From the moment I walked out of the train station, Lijiang caught my eye and heart. The nice atmosphere (氛围) filled me with joy. I started to make my way through the streets of the old town. When I arrived at my homestay, a traditional wooden house and a huge white dog welcomed me. Then a laoban, or “boss”, showed up and I was able to check in. On the first day, I set out on a walk through Heilongtan Park. But some time later, I found myself walking all the way to a mountain by Heilongtan, where I took many photos of the attractive scenes. Then I received an invitation from the laoban to have a cup of tea with him. When I got back to the homestay, the laoban and his brother were waiting for me. I spent several hours with them drinking tea and talking. Later, their mother and sister came and joined us. They kept offering me different kinds of local foods that I loved very much. I was often ashamed because I could not understand them. And they also felt out of place from time to time because they could not find the proper words in English. But our conversation turned out one of the nicest conversations I’ve ever had in China! I could not have been more thankful for the chance to meet this wonderful family. They showed an unbelievably strong family tie and even made me feel like one of their own. This short trip has filled me with hope and strong interest in traveling more in China. 31. What can we say about the writer? A. She studied in China. B. She is a Western explorer. C She likes the Chinese language. D. She graduated from Yunnan University. 32. What stole the writer’s heart? A. The huge station. B. The nice atmosphere. C. The wooden house. D. The white dog. 33. Who invited the writer to drink tea? A. The laoban. B. The laoban’s brother. C. The laoban’s sister. D. The laoban’s mother. 34. What inspired the writer to travel more in China? A. Walking through Heilongtan Park. B. Climbing to the top of a mountain. C. Taking photos of attractive scenes. D. Having a tea time with the family. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Wonderful Trip to Yunnan B. Feeling at Home in a New World C. The Attractive Scenes of Lijiang Old Town D. My Unforgettable Walk in Heilongtan Park C Amazing Space “Curiosity”, NASA’s Mars rover, recently took the world by surprise. It took a picture of a small “flower” while it was exploring the surface of Mars. Clearly, it’s not an actual flower. But it could be a rock that had been created a long time ago. Back then, the Red Planet possibly had water on its surface. The effort of the rover could help answer the question of whether life ever existed (存在) on Mars and understand when Mars might have been most suitable to host life. Scientists are feeling psyched about these findings because they provide information about the planet’s past environment. Saturn’s amazing rings, which are made of ice and rocks, won’t last forever. Scientists say that they are slowly breaking apart and will totally disappear in about 300 million years. They say the rings now may be 10~100 million years old. According to The Atlantic, a popular American magazine, 10 tons of “ring matter” fall into Saturn every second. They all get pulled by Saturn’s gravity (引力). Studying these rings helps scientists learn how planets form and change over time. It reminds us that even amazing things in space don’t last forever. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also have ring systems. Saturn has the largest rings. Though the others’ rings aren’t as easy to see, they may have had bigger rings in the past. 36. What can we know about the small “flower”? A. It was shot by accident. B. It is a “flower-like” plant. C. It helps us better understand Mars. D It proves there were life on Mars. 37. What does the underlined word “psyched” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Lucky. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Discouraged. 38. How does the writer present the result of the disappearance of Saturn’s rings? A. By offering numbers. B. By asking scientists. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 39. Which is described as having the largest ring system? A. Jupiter. B. Uranus. C. Neptune. D. Saturn. 40. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare Mars with Saturn. B. To show the new discoveries of space. C. To introduce the changes of the two planets. D. To encourage us to protect our home planet. D Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra (管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore (忽视) the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise. Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again. So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. 41. What is the text mainly about? A. Music for patients. B. Two university studies. C. Music and language learning. D. Language abilities and the brain. 42. What were the people in the first group asked to do? A. Listen to different kinds of music. B.
