It is the 13th of China’s 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the “Autumn Tiger” (秋老虎). Changes in Nature Mornings and evenings get cooler after Liqiu. You may see yellow leaves on some trees and hear fewer cicadas (蝉) chirping. Farmers are busy because it’s harvest time for corn and cotton. In southern China, people prepare for typhoons (台风) and heavy rain. Special Customs Chinese people do these things to celebrate Liqiu: - Tie Qiu Biao (Eating meat): In the north, people eat roast duck or meat to become stronger after the hot summer. - Ken Qiu (Biting Autumn): Families in the south eat watermelons together. They believe it helps drive away the summer heat. - Sun-drying Crops: In mountain villages like Huangling, villagers dry red peppers and golden corn in the sun. It creates colourful “autumn pictures”. Staying Healthy Doctors advise eating pears, honey and lilies (百合). These foods keep our lungs healthy in the dry autumn air. Also, wearing a light jacket in the morning can prevent colds. A Season of Hope An old Chinese saying tells us: “A cool morning at Liqiu brings a good year.” Though days are still warm, Liqiu brings hope for harvests and cool winds.

D．The Beginning of Winter. 47．When will Liqiu start in 2025? A．On August 6. B．On August 7. C．On August 8. D．On August 9. 48．Why do people call the lingering hot weather after Liqiu “Autumn Tiger”? A．Because tigers are active in autumn. B．Because it’s as hot as a tiger’s anger. C．Because hot weather continues despite autumn starting. D．Because tigers appear more often in this period. 49．What change can people notice in nature after Liqiu? A．Mornings and evenings become hotter. B．More cicadas start chirping loudly. C．Farmers begin planting corn and cotton. D．Some trees get yellow leaves. 50．Which custom is popular in southern China during Liqiu? A．Eating roast duck to get stronger.

People call this the ‘Autumn Tiger’.”可知，尽管秋天开始，但炎热天气仍持续，因此被称为“秋老虎”。故选C。 49．细节理解题。根据“You may see yellow leaves on some trees”可知，立秋后一些树木的叶子变黄。故选D。 50．细节理解题。根据“Special Customs”部分“Families in the south eat watermelons together.

Scientists want to learn about the canopy. However, it has not been easy to get to the top of these trees. Now, Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world in the following ways. A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people. But a walkway cannot be made at the top of the trees. Meg has reached the very top of trees. One way she loves to reach the very top is by raft (充气船). The raft is filled with air. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. A tower crane (塔吊) is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects eating the leaves in these tree tops. Meg’s job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of tree tops. 51．What’s the canopy? A．The foot of the trees. B．The middle of the trees. C．The top of the trees. D．The side of the trees. 52．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．The bridge. B．The walkway. C．The canopy. D．The rainforest. 53．How can scientists reach the canopy? a. By walkway.  b. By raft.  c. By tower crane.  d. By plane. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 54．What can we learn from the text? A．Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. B．A raft is like a bridge, which goes between the trees. C．A walkway can take scientists to anywhere in the trees. D．Meg has ever slept in trees because she hates her families. 55．What will Meg probably do next? A．Build more walkways at lower forest levels. B．Stop using hot air balloons in her work. C．Invent a new tool for reaching the highest tree tops. D．Study soil instead of tree canopies. 【答案】51．C 52．B 53．A 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家为了研究树冠层所采取的几种方法，包括步道、充气船和塔吊等，同时介绍了Meg为探索树冠层所做的努力。 51．细节理解题。根据第一段“The top of these trees is called the canopy.”可知，树冠就是树的顶部。故选C。 52．词句猜测题。根据第二段“A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees.”可知，步道就像一座桥，它在树之间延伸，所以“It”指代的是步道。故选B。 53．细节理解题。根据第二段“Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people.”、第三段“One way she loves to reach the top is by raft (充气船).”和第四段“A tower crane (塔吊) is another way to get to the top.”可知，科学家可以通过步道、充气船和塔吊到达树冠层。故选A。 54．细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world in the following ways.”可知，Meg已经爬上了世界各地的树顶，A选项正确；根据第三段“One way she loves to reach the very top is by raft (充气船). The raft is filled with air. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees.”可知，充气船不是像桥一样在树之间，而是被热气球投放到树上，B选项错误；根据第二段“But a walkway cannot be made at the very top of the trees.”可知，步道不能通向树的任何地方，C选项错误；文中未提及Meg因为讨厌家人而在树上睡觉，D选项错误。故选A。 55．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Meg’s job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of tree tops.”可知，Meg的工作是不断探索更多，她想帮助发现树顶的秘密，所以她接下来可能会发明一种新的工具来到达最高的树顶。故选C。 C Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration. In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking? Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored. Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown? Part of the reason is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task. That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on. 56．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past? A．They didn’t think it was worth the risk. B．They didn’t have high-level technology. C．They thought there was no need to do it. D．They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters. 57．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists. B．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade. C．China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology. D．China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters. 58．Why does the writer mention space in the passage? A．To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B．To show the necessity of space exploration. C．To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D．To prove the importance of space exploration. 59．What does the underlined word “task” refer to? A．Inventing a new light. B．Seeing the things in space. C．Getting a spaceship into space. D．Sending a bright enough light down. 60．What can we learn from the passage? A．Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary. B．The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most. C．We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters. D．The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it. 【答案】56．B 57．C 58．C 59．D 60．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋探索的相关内容。 56．细节理解题。根据“In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before.”可知，近年来新技术使深海潜水更容易，以前科学家无法到达深海是因为没有高水平的技术，故选B。 57．细节理解题。根据“China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list.”并结合前文提到新技术助力海洋探索可知，中国的大洋钻探船是新技术的体现，说明中国在海洋探索技术方面取得了很大进步，故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据“Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point.”可知，作者提到太空是为了对比，显示出相比太空，人类对深海了解更少，突出海洋探索的难度，故选C。 59．词句猜测题。根据“The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task.”可知，然而，深海一片漆黑。要让光线穿透到足够远的地方绝非易事。“task”指的是把足够亮的光送到深海，故选D。 60．细节理解题。根据“That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost.”可知，海洋探索值得冒险和成本，且海洋影响人类生活的方方面面（如空气、食物、气候）且蕴藏资源。选项A“深海探索重要且必要”符合。故选A。 五、补全对话（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 分） 根据对话内容，选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 (Now Wei Le and Li Jian are talking about famous people.)

I love how he makes science fun and interesting.”可知，魏乐回答喜欢他把科学变得生动有趣的方式，此处应是问魏乐对其作品的喜爱点。选项G“你最喜欢他作品的哪个方面？”符合情景。故选G。 64．根据“I think so. He is really great.”可知，听完魏乐回答，李建对海涯表示认可。选项C“他是一位很优秀的作家。”符合情景。故选C。 65．根据“It’s great to have heroes who inspire us.”可知，最后应是魏乐对李建“英雄激励我们”的观点表示赞同。选项E“是的，他们向我们展示了什么是可能的。”符合情景。故选E。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色字迹的签字笔将答案写在“答题卡”上。 2．本卷共四大题，共 40 分。 六、完成句子（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据所给中文意思完成句子，每空限填一词。 66．看完关于太空的纪录片后，我弟弟对星星产生了兴趣。 After watching the documentary about space, my little brother the stars. 【答案】 got interested in 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“产生了兴趣”的表达。固定短语“get interested in”表示 “对……产生兴趣”，根据“After watching the documentary about space”可知，产生兴趣是在看完纪录片后发生的，时态用一般过去时，动词get用过去式got。故填got；interested；in。 67．我为考试努力学习。这就是我得了满分的原因。 I studied hard for the exam. I got full marks. 【答案】 That’s why 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“这就是……的原因”的表达，固定句型为“that’s why….”，符合“我为考试努力学习，这就是我得了满分的原因”的语境，放在句首首字母大写，用That’s。故填That’s；why。 68．他们想知道这个博物馆周末是否开放。 They   the museum is open on weekends. 【答案】 wonder if/whether 【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“想知道”且后面接宾语从句，用动词“wonder”；同时需要一个词来引导宾语从句表示“是否”，用“if”或“whether”。故填wonder；if/whether。 69．空气污染对所有生物都是有害的，我们要减少污染。 Air is to all creatures, and we need to reduce . 【答案】 pollution harmful pollution 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“污染”、“有害的”和“污染”。air pollution“空气污染”，名词短语，作主语。be harmful to“对……有害”，形容词短语，构成系表结构。reduce pollution“减少污染”，动词短语。故填pollution；harmful；pollution。 70．现在我们必须采取行动，保护我们的自然环境。 Now we must take action to our . 【答案】 protect natural environment 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，空格处表示“保护自然环境”；“保护”对应的动词是“protect”，“take action to do sth.”意为“采取行动做某事”，to后接动词原形，第一空填“protect”；“自然环境”的英文是“natural environment”，“natural”是形容词修饰名词“environment”。故填protect；natural；environment。 七、任务型阅读（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。 Rice is a very common food in life.

It is the 13th of China’s 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the “Autumn Tiger” (秋老虎). Changes in Nature Mornings and evenings get cooler after Liqiu. You may see yellow leaves on some trees and hear fewer cicadas (蝉) chirping. Farmers are busy because it’s harvest time for corn and cotton. In southern China, people prepare for typhoons (台风) and heavy rain. Special Customs Chinese people do these things to celebrate Liqiu: - Tie Qiu Biao (Eating meat): In the north, people eat roast duck or meat to become stronger after the hot summer. - Ken Qiu (Biting Autumn): Families in the south eat watermelons together. They believe it helps drive away the summer heat. - Sun-drying Crops: In mountain villages like Huangling, villagers dry red peppers and golden corn in the sun. It creates colourful “autumn pictures”. Staying Healthy Doctors advise eating pears, honey and lilies (百合). These foods keep our lungs healthy in the dry autumn air. Also, wearing a light jacket in the morning can prevent colds. A Season of Hope An old Chinese saying tells us: “A cool morning at Liqiu brings a good year.” Though days are still warm, Liqiu brings hope for harvests and cool winds. It reminds us that every ending is a quiet new beginning. 46．What does “Liqiu” mean in Chinese? A．The End of Summer. B．The Start of Autumn. C．The Middle of Autumn. D．The Beginning of Winter. 47．When will Liqiu start in 2025? A．On August 6. B．On August 7. C．On August 8. D．On August 9. 48．Why do people call the lingering hot weather after Liqiu “Autumn Tiger”? A．Because tigers are active in autumn. B．Because it’s as hot as a tiger’s anger. C．Because hot weather continues despite autumn starting. D．Because tigers appear more often in this period. 49．What change can people notice in nature after Liqiu? A．Mornings and evenings become hotter. B．More cicadas start chirping loudly. C．Farmers begin planting corn and cotton. D．Some trees get yellow leaves. 50．Which custom is popular in southern China during Liqiu? A．Eating roast duck to get stronger. B．Sharing watermelons to drive away summer heat. C．Drying crops in mountain villages. D．Wearing heavy coats in the morning. B In a rainforest there are tall trees. The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy. However, it has not been easy to get to the top of these trees. Now, Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world in the following ways. A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people. But a walkway cannot be made at the top of the trees. Meg has reached the very top of trees. One way she loves to reach the very top is by raft (充气船). The raft is filled with air. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. A tower crane (塔吊) is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects eating the leaves in these tree tops. Meg’s job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of tree tops. 51．What’s the canopy? A．The foot of the trees. B．The middle of the trees. C．The top of the trees.

By walkway.  b. By raft.  c. By tower crane.  d. By plane. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 54．What can we learn from the text? A．Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. B．A raft is like a bridge, which goes between the trees. C．A walkway can take scientists to anywhere in the trees. D．Meg has ever slept in trees because she hates her families. 55．What will Meg probably do next? A．Build more walkways at lower forest levels. B．Stop using hot air balloons in her work. C．Invent a new tool for reaching the highest tree tops. D．Study soil instead of tree canopies. C Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration. In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking? Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored. Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown? Part of the reason is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task. That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on. 56．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past? A．They didn’t think it was worth the risk. B．They didn’t have high-level technology. C．They thought there was no need to do it. D．They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters. 57．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists. B．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade. C．China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology. D．China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters. 58．Why does the writer mention space in the passage? A．To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B．To show the necessity of space exploration. C．To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D．To prove the importance of space exploration. 59．What does the underlined word “task” refer to? A．Inventing a new light. B．Seeing the things in space. C．Getting a spaceship into space. D．Sending a bright enough light down. 60．What can we learn from the passage? A．Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary. B．The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most. C．We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters. D．The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it. 五、补全对话（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 分） 根据对话内容，选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 (Now Wei Le and Li Jian are talking about famous people.)

Lots of people in Asia, Africa, and South America eat it every day. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Farmers grow rice in many countries. But no one really knows where it first came from. Some scientists think that it started to grow in two places. They think that one kind of rice grew in Asia many years ago. According to (据……所说) some old books, people began to grow rice in China thousands of years ago. Another kind probably grew in West Africa. However, other scientists think that rice came from India, and Indian travellers took it to other parts of the world. Rice can grow in dry soil (土壤), but most rice grows in wet soil. People in many countries do all of the work of growing rice by hand. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. In some countries, people now use machines (机器) on their rice farms. People use every part of the rice plant. They make animal feed and rice oil (油) from it. They make other useful things such as baskets, shoes and roofs (屋顶) for their houses from it. Also, they burn (燃烧) dry rice plants in fires for cooking. 71．Farmers grow rice in many countries, but no one really knows ________. 72．According to some old books, people began to grow ________. 73．People use their hands or machines on ________. 74．People ________ of the rice plant. 75．People also burn ________ for cooking. 八、综合填空（本大题共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，共 10 分） 根据首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 76．He h watches TV because he spends most time studying. 77．She won first p in the school English speech contest. 78．Poor s makes it hard for my grandpa to read small words. 79．Jupiter (木星) is the largest p in our solar system. 80．Please c the rubbish off the desk so we can use it. 81．It is t that whales are not fish but mammals. 82．The teacher put the exam schedule on the b by the classroom door. 83．I have to do it on my own because I couldn’t find a to help me. 84．The students don’t like doing e homework.

It is the 13th of China’s 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the “Autumn Tiger” (秋老虎). Changes in Nature Mornings and evenings get cooler after Liqiu. You may see yellow leaves on some trees and hear fewer cicadas (蝉) chirping. Farmers are busy because it’s harvest time for corn and cotton. In southern China, people prepare for typhoons (台风) and heavy rain. Special Customs Chinese people do these things to celebrate Liqiu: - Tie Qiu Biao (Eating meat): In the north, people eat roast duck or meat to become stronger after the hot summer. - Ken Qiu (Biting Autumn): Families in the south eat watermelons together. They believe it helps drive away the summer heat. - Sun-drying Crops: In mountain villages like Huangling, villagers dry red peppers and golden corn in the sun. It creates colourful “autumn pictures”. Staying Healthy Doctors advise eating pears, honey and lilies (百合). These foods keep our lungs healthy in the dry autumn air. Also, wearing a light jacket in the morning can prevent colds. A Season of Hope An old Chinese saying tells us: “A cool morning at Liqiu brings a good year.” Though days are still warm, Liqiu brings hope for harvests and cool winds. It reminds us that every ending is a quiet new beginning. 46．What does “Liqiu” mean in Chinese? A．The End of Summer. B．The Start of Autumn. C．The Middle of Autumn. D．The Beginning of Winter. 47．When will Liqiu start in 2025? A．On August 6. B．On August 7. C．On August 8. D．On August 9. 48．Why do people call the lingering hot weather after Liqiu “Autumn Tiger”? A．Because tigers are active in autumn. B．Because it’s as hot as a tiger’s anger. C．Because hot weather continues despite autumn starting. D．Because tigers appear more often in this period. 49．What change can people notice in nature after Liqiu? A．Mornings and evenings become hotter. B．More cicadas start chirping loudly. C．Farmers begin planting corn and cotton. D．Some trees get yellow leaves. 50．Which custom is popular in southern China during Liqiu? A．Eating roast duck to get stronger. B．Sharing watermelons to drive away summer heat. C．Drying crops in mountain villages. D．Wearing heavy coats in the morning. B In a rainforest there are tall trees. The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy. However, it has not been easy to get to the top of these trees. Now, Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world in the following ways. A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people. But a walkway cannot be made at the top of the trees. Meg has reached the very top of trees. One way she loves to reach the very top is by raft (充气船). The raft is filled with air. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. A tower crane (塔吊) is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects eating the leaves in these tree tops. Meg’s job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of tree tops. 51．What’s the canopy? A．The foot of the trees. B．The middle of the trees. C．The top of the trees. D．The side of the trees. 52．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．The bridge. B．The walkway. C．The canopy. D．The rainforest. 53．How can scientists reach the canopy? a. By walkway.  b. By raft.  c. By tower crane.  d. By plane. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 54．What can we learn from the text? A．Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. B．A raft is like a bridge, which goes between the trees. C．A walkway can take scientists to anywhere in the trees. D．Meg has ever slept in trees because she hates her families. 55．What will Meg probably do next? A．Build more walkways at lower forest levels. B．Stop using hot air balloons in her work. C．Invent a new tool for reaching the highest tree tops. D．Study soil instead of tree canopies. C Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration. In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea.

The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on. 56．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past? A．They didn’t think it was worth the risk.
