A
We eat to feel full. In China, certain foods have special meanings. Let’s see three foods with different meanings.
In the north of China, people eat dumplings during big meals. It is a tradition. The more dumplings people eat during Chinese New Year, the more money they will have next year. Sometimes people put a coin into a dumpling. If a person gets the dumpling with a coin, he or she will have good luck in the coming year.
Tangyuan is also called Yuanxiao. It looks like a rice ball. It’s the main festival food for the Lantern Festival. But in Guangdong, people love to eat tangyuan during the Winter Solstice (冬至). Some people in Guangdong also have tangyuan on the first day of the Spring Festival. Tangyuan is the symbol of reunion (团聚). This is the reason why it is popular during traditional festivals.
In China, people call hot pot huo guo. And there are different tastes in different cities. In Sichuan, hot pot is hot. In Guangdong, hot pot is famous for its fresh food, such as fresh fish and vegetables. Eating hot pot makes people feel warm in the cold winter. And the red colour means that people will be happy in the following year.
11. Which kind of food means good luck?
A. The hot pot. B. The long noodles.
C. The sweet tangyuan. D. The dumpling with a coin.
12. What does the red colour of hot pot mean?
A. Money. B. Warmth. C. Happiness. D. Peace.
13. Where is the passage most probably from?
A. A science book. B. A food magazine. C. A sports report. D. A storybook.
B
①What helps a garden grow well? Sunlight and water, of course. But guess what? Music might help plants grow better, too.
②Plants don’t hear sounds as humans do, but they can feel movements from sounds. A study showed that when plants listen to music, they grow faster, with larger flowers and healthier leaves. Singing can also encourage healthy plants by adding CO2; just as the King of the UK does! King Charles talks to his plants to help with their growth. He even once jokingly asked Katy Perry, a famous singer, to sing to his plants.
③Then, which kind of music do plants like best? Chris Beardshaw, an experienced gardener, thinks heavy metal music, like Black Sabbath, helps plants grow. He did an experiment (实验) and found that classical (古典的) music made plants grow a little better, while rock and roll singer Cliff Richard’s music led to plants dying. Heavy metal music was more helpful for plants than other kinds of music. You can find special music online just for your plants. This helps them grow better and healthier.
④However, it’s hard to know what music plants really like. The kind of plants and where they grow are also important. Maybe the plants just get better care when people play music for them.
⑤It is not important whether plants like music or not. Playing music while you garden can be enjoyable. Music can make you more patient when caring for plants. So, play some Mozart or Metallica and see if your plants grow better. You’ll have a great time, too.
14. According to the study, what benefits (好处) do plants get from listening to music?
A. They will die quickly. B. They grow faster and better.
C. They need less sunlight and water. D. They can hear sounds like humans.
15. What did Chris Beardshaw find in his experiment?
A. Heavy metal was the most useful for plants. B. Rock and roll music helped plants grow best.
C. Classical music made plants grow much worse. D. All kinds of music had the same effect on plants.
16. What does “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Heavy metal music. B. Classical music.
C. Special music online. D. Different kinds of music.
17. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Plants like all kinds of music.
B. It’s easy to know what music plants really like.
C. Only sunlight and water can help a garden grow well.
D. Music can help plants grow better and make gardening more fun.

Smart Robots: Will They Take Our Jobs?
Smart robots are quickly changing our world and will possibly replace (代替) a number of common jobs in the near future. Isn’t it amazing?
____18____ Many of the news reports you’ve read have been written by software. One of the world’s most well-known magazines, Forbes, for example, sometimes runs computer-based articles, especially those about stock (股票) markets and sports results, which are based on data and facts.
Drivers might also become less common. Companies in the US, China, and Europe are testing self-driving cars. ____19____ They have no blind spots (盲区), never get sleepy or tired, never check their phones while “driving”, and never drink before hitting the road. So people are looking forward to them.
Even in restaurants, robots are starting to serve customers. They can not only serve customers and take orders quickly, but also cook delicious dishes with precise (精确的) steps. ____20____ Just go to a restaurant, order your favorite dish from a robot, and then enjoy the delicious food made by machines.
It seems robots will replace many jobs in the future. However, it’s important to remember that robots can never fully replace human beings. ____21____ Therefore, even if robots become more popular in the future, we still need to keep learning and developing our own thinking skills. After all, the true value of technology is to help people, not to take our place.
A. People won’t need to cook meals any more.
B. Believe it or not, reporters are among them.
C. It is important for us to develop AI technology.

____22____ Mary is used to wearing glasses when looking at things. This morning she left her glasses at home. As a result, she had mistaken Tom for Tim when she met him at the school gate.
____23____ Jack always feels he is good at math. Yesterday he agreed to help Sam solve a math problem. But as soon as he started, he realized that he had never met such a difficult problem.
____24____ Lisa went out for dinner with her parents, and started complaining about how terrible and strict her history teacher was. Just when she turned around, she saw the teacher had been sitting at the table right behind them.
____25____ Gina always thinks she can sing well. However, she had forgotten the words of the song by the time she started to sing an English song at the school talent show last weekend. What a bad feeling Gina had!
____26____ Last Monday Paul saw a new T-shirt in a store and he liked it very much. After a long discussion with the shop owner, they reached a deal at the price of 80 yuan. But when he put his hand into the bag, he found he hadn’t taken his wallet!
A. Being polite is necessary all the time. Explain why you can’t buy it and ask her if she can keep the clothes for you so that you can get back home for money soon.
B. First, try to keep calm. And then think of some creative ways to deal with the embarrassing situation. For example, you can invite the audience to sing together with you.
C. Nobody can always do everything successfully. Why not be honest to him and tell him the truth or let him ask others for help with his math problem?
D. If possible, say sorry to him and explain why you got the wrong person. Next time, before you go out, check if you take every important thing with you first.
E. The first thing you should do is to say sorry to the teacher at once. He or she might understand you and not get too mad. Remember not to say any bad words about others next time!

John Thornton had been ill in December, and his two friends had had to leave him at White River and go on to Dawson. They left him in the camp with plenty of food, and with his two dogs, Skeet and Blackie. Now the spring had come, and he was almost well. He lay in the sun by the river with Buck, watching the water and listening to the birds, slowly getting stronger and stronger.
A rest is very welcome after running five thousand kilometers, and Buck slowly got fatter and stronger. It was a peaceful, lazy time for both man and dogs while they waited for Thornton’s friends to return from Dawson.
Skeet made friends with Buck immediately, and while Buck was still very ill, every morning she washed his cuts carefully with her tongue. Blackie, too, was friendly, and as Buck grew stronger, the three dogs often played games together. Sometimes Thornton joined the games too.
The days passed very happily, and for the first time, Buck learned to love. He had never loved a man before. John Thornton had saved his life, but he was also a man who was naturally kind to animals. He took very good care of his dogs, not because it was sensible to do that, but because he felt they were his children. He was always talking to Buck, holding his head and shaking it lovingly. In answer, Buck liked to take Thornton’s hand gently in his mouth.
Buck was happy to lie on the ground all day and watch Thornton. And when Thornton spoke to him or touched him, Buck went wild with happiness. At first, he was afraid that Thornton was going to disappear, like Perrault and Francois, and at night he sometimes woke up and went to the tent to make sure that he was still there.
47. Where was John Thornton now?
_________________________________________________________
48. How far had Buck run before this rest?
_________________________________________________________

【答案】14. B 15. A 16. C 17. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了音乐对植物生长产生的积极影响,通过研究和实验探讨了不同类型的音乐对植物的作用,并指出为植物播放音乐也能让园艺过程变得更加愉悦。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
第三段描述实验发现时提到:“Heavy metal music was more helpful for plants than other kinds of music.”,这直接证明了在Chris Beardshaw的实验中,重金属音乐对植物是最有用的。
【16题详解】
根据第三段最后两句:“You can find special music online just for your plants. This helps them grow better…”,在语境中,代词“This”紧跟在前一句提到的网上专门为植物准备的特殊音乐之后,说明“This”指代的就是这些特殊音乐。

根据空后“Many of the news reports you’ve read have been written by software.”可知,本段通过《福布斯》等杂志的例子,说明新闻报道现在可以由软件完成。B选项“信不信由你,记者也在其中”中的“reporters”对应后文的新闻写作,揭示了记者这一职业也面临被机器人取代的现状。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Drivers might also become less common.”以及后文“They have no blind spots (盲区), never get sleepy or tired…”可知,此处在讨论自动驾驶汽车的优势。D选项“在某些方面,这些车可能比人类司机更好”起到了承上启下的作用,引出了后面对自动驾驶汽车没有盲区、不会疲劳等优点的具体描述。
【20题详解】
根据前文“They can not only serve customers…but also cook delicious dishes with precise (精确的) steps.”可知,本段介绍了餐厅机器人不仅能点餐,还能精确地烹饪美味。A选项“人们将不再需要自己做饭了”是基于机器人能够高效服务和烹饪这一事实得出的自然推论,符合餐馆自动化的语境。

____25____ Gina always thinks she can sing well. However, she had forgotten the words of the song by the time she started to sing an English song at the school talent show last weekend. What a bad feeling Gina had!

D. If possible, say sorry to him and explain why you got the wrong person. Next time, before you go out, check if you take every important thing with you first.
E. The first thing you should do is to say sorry to the teacher at once. He or she might understand you and not get too mad. Remember not to say any bad words about others next time!

【28题详解】
句意:为了解决这个问题,政府于2025年正式启动了“体重管理年”,并最近推出了新指导方针。此处需要一个副词,在句中修饰动词introduced。因为文中提到政府在2025年正式启动该计划,结合语境表示近期采取的行动,所以选择recently“最近”。

句意:酒店可能会在房间里放置秤,以便客人可以在秤上称自己的体重。此处需要一个反身代词,在句中作及物动词weigh的宾语。因为主语是guests,此处指客人在秤上称“他们自己”的体重,所以选择themselves“他们自己”。
【36题详解】
句意:餐厅可以在菜单上添加热量标签,以便客人可以决定是否吃这些食物。此处需要一个连词,在句中引导宾语从句。因为空后为“to eat the food”,构成“whether to do”结构,表示客人可以根据热量标签决定“是否”吃这些食物,所以选择whether“是否”。

John Thornton had been ill in December, and his two friends had had to leave him at White River and go on to Dawson. They left him in the camp with plenty of food, and with his two dogs, Skeet and Blackie. Now the spring had come, and he was almost well. He lay in the sun by the river with Buck, watching the water and listening to the birds, slowly getting stronger and stronger.
A rest is very welcome after running five thousand kilometers and Buck slowly got fatter and stronger. It was a peaceful, lazy time for both man and dogs while they waited for Thornton’s friends to return from Dawson.
Skeet made friends with Buck immediately, and while Buck was still very ill, every morning she washed his cuts carefully with her tongue. Blackie, too, was friendly, and as Buck grew stronger, the three dogs often played games together. Sometimes Thornton joined the games too.
The days passed very happily, and for the first time, Buck learned to love. He had never loved a man before. John Thornton had saved his life, but he was also a man who was naturally kind to animals. He took very good care of his dogs, not because it was sensible to do that, but because he felt they were his children. He was always talking to Buck, holding his head and shaking it lovingly. In answer, Buck liked to take Thornton’s hand gently in his mouth.
Buck was happy to lie on the ground all day and watch Thornton. And when Thornton spoke to him or touched him, Buck went wild with happiness. At first, he was afraid that Thornton was going to disappear, like Perrault and Francois, and at night he sometimes woke up and went to the tent to make sure that he was still there.
