They are one of the biggest land animals in Africa. Usually, in most photos of these huge African animals, we can see them in the water. The reason is that hippos stay in the water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in the hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers and lakes, and that they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just so big that they can walk in the water and stand on the bottom of a lake. They can breathe, see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food. It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. In fact, they get angry easily and often fight. Why do hippos fight? They fight with lions for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them. Hippos are very dangerous! Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast-about 30 kilometers an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them! 31．Why do hippos stay in the water for a long time? A．To have their babies there. B．To look for food to eat. C．To sleep better at night. D．To keep themselves cool. 32．What can hippos do when their bodies are under the water? A．They can fly. B．They can run. C．They can breathe. D．They can swim. 33．Why do hippos come out of the water after the sun goes down? A．Because the water gets too cold. B．Because they need to look for food. C．Because they want to play with other animals. D．Because they need to find a new river. 34．What does the underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hit something first to hurt it. B．Let something appear. C．Say yes to something. D．Become a part of something. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Friendly River Horses B．How to Stay Away from Hippos C．Hippos—Big, Fast and Dangerous D．The Food That Hippos Like to Eat 【答案】31．D 32．C 33．B 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了河马这种动物，包括它们的生活习性、身体特征、行为特点以及危险性等。 31．第一段提到：“The reason is that hippos stay in the water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in the hot weather in Africa.”，这直接说明河马长时间待在水里是为了在非洲炎热的天气中保持凉爽。 32．第二段提到：“They can breathe, see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads.”，这直接说明当河马的身体在水下时，它们可以呼吸、看见和听见，因为它们的鼻子、眼睛和耳朵在头顶上。 33．第二段提到：“When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food.”，这直接说明太阳下山后，河马会从水里出来寻找食物。 34．第三段提到：“They also attack boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them.”，根据语境可知，如果船只离它们太近，河马为了自身安全也会攻击船只，所以“attack”的意思是“先撞击某物以伤害它”。 35．文章主要介绍了河马体型庞大、速度较快且具有危险性等特点，C选项“Hippos—Big, Fast and Dangerous”能够很好地概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。 C Slovenia is a small country with lots of mountains, and about 60% of its land is green forests. With a population of over 2 million, the country is home to around 11,000 beekeepers. Erik is one of the beekeepers there. His family has a long history of beekeeping—his father, grandfather, and even his great-grandfather are all beekeepers. At first, he just planned to work in news, but later the sound of the beehives (蜂箱) pulled him back to his family’s tradition. In the bee yard, Erik stands quietly by his beehives, listening to the soft song of wings. Bees are everything to him: his work, his joy and his duty. Every year from March to September, Erik follows his bees, moving beehives and collecting honey. He often says, “We keep bees with heart. It’s not just a job; it’s a relationship.” Although technology (科技) helps Erik check (检查) honey from far away, he believes human care is key. Erik still opens each beehive every ten days by hand and checks bees to make sure they are healthy. No robot can do it, and maybe there never will be. Bees play an important role in people’s lives in Slovenia. When a baby is born, families light beeswax (蜂蜡) candles. They do the same when someone dies. Bees stay with people through their happy and sad moments. 36．What do we know about Slovenia? A．It is a big country with forests. B．Half of the land is deserts. C．The country has a population of 11,000. D．There are many mountains in the country. 37．Which of the following affected Erik’s job choice? A．His family’s beekeeping history.

C．Erik’s love for beekeeping. D．The importance of bees. 39．What does Erik think of new technology for beekeeping? A．He believes robots can do anything. B．He treasures human care more. C．He thinks it is the most useful. D．He is totally against it. 40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Bees are part of people’s lives in Slovenia. B．Bees work together and show great teamwork. C．Bees are important to the ecosystem in Slovenia. D．Bees can understand human feelings. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了斯洛文尼亚养蜂人埃里克继承家族传统，用心养蜂的故事，以及蜜蜂在当地人生活中的重要意义。 36．细节理解题。根据“Slovenia is a small country with lots of mountains, and about 60% of its land is green forests.”可知，斯洛文尼亚是一个多山的小国。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“His family has a long history of beekeeping—his father, grandfather, and even his great-grandfather are all beekeepers. At first, he just planned to work in news, but later the sound of the beehives pulled him back to his family’s tradition.”可知，是家族的养蜂传统影响了他对职业的选择。故选A。 38．主旨大意题。第三段描述了埃里克在蜂场的状态，他将蜜蜂视为一切，并引用他的话“We keep bees with heart. It’s not just a job; it’s a relationship.”，核心是表达他对养蜂的热爱。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“Although technology helps Erik check honey from far away, he believes human care is key.”可知，尽管科技有帮助，但埃里克认为人的关怀才是关键，即他更珍视人的照料。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。根据最后一段主题句“Bees play an important role in people’s lives in Slovenia.”以及后续关于出生和死亡时使用蜂蜡蜡烛的描述可知，蜜蜂是斯洛文尼亚人生活的一部分。故选A。 D We’ve all seen pictures of camels (骆驼) carrying heavy loads across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the big round hump which is on a camel’s back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用储物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat and stored in the camel’s hump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (细胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight. Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life. 41．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel. C．The function of the hump. D．The ability of the camel. 42．Which is TRUE about the hump? A．The hump stores different kinds of food. B．The hump always stays the same size. C．The hump can store more than 130 litres water. D．The weight of the hump depends on eating conditions. 43．What does the underlined word “sponges” mean in Chinese? A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 D．吸管 44．Why does the writer use some numbers in this passage? A．To explain the facts more clearly. B．To express the ideas more politely. C．To make the article more educational. D．To make the language more beautiful. 45．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Camels have some amazing abilities. B．Camels are good helpers for desert people. C．Camels have a great quality of never wasting water. D．Camels have a perfect system for living in the desert. 【答案】41．C 42．D 43．A 44．A 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了骆驼适应沙漠生活的生理机制，重点讲解了驼峰的功能、骆驼储存水分与能量的方式，以及它们在极端环境下的生存策略。 41．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知，该段核心是介绍驼峰的功能——储存食物和水分，让骆驼能长时间不吃不喝。故选C。 42．细节理解题。根据“When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms.”以及“After a long trek across the desert...The camel’s hump will become very small.”可知，驼峰的重量会随进食条件变化，食物充足时变重，缺乏食物时变轻。故选D。 43．词句猜测题。根据“Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink.”可知，骆驼能像 “海绵”一样快速吸收大量水分，因此sponges的中文含义为 “海绵”。故选A。 44．推理判断题。文中使用“40 kilograms”“130 litres”“150 kilograms”等具体数字，是为了更清晰、直观地解释骆驼的生理特征和生存能力，让读者更准确地理解事实。故选A。 45．主旨大意题。根据“Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life.”可知，作者通过介绍驼峰的功能、骆驼储存水分与能量的方式等内容，核心是想说明骆驼拥有一套适应沙漠艰苦生活的完美生理系统。故选D。 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 Do you know what the world’s fastest animal is? How about the world’s smartest animal? Do you know which animal lives the longest? 46 You may know that the world’s fastest animal is the cheetah. 47 However, they can only run at that speed (速度) for about 60 seconds. When cheetahs are running at that speed, they spend more time in the air than on the ground. The largest animal in the world is the blue whale. 48 They are the largest animals that have ever existed (存在) on the earth. Blue whales are about 38 meters long, and they weigh around 170 tons. 49 Most people believe that tortoises (海龟) live the longest. 50 However, some ocean animals live longer. Some koi, a kind of goldfish, can live for more than 200 years. There’s even a kind of jellyfish (水母) that can change its cells (细胞) and make them new again. This means that whenever the jellyfish gets old and weak, it can make itself young again! The nick name of this jellyfish is “immortal jelly fish”. A．Let’s read about some of these amazing animals.

A．sports B．health C．animal D．business B Hippos are called “river horses”. They are one of the biggest land animals in Africa. Usually, in most photos of these huge African animals, we can see them in the water. The reason is that hippos stay in the water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in the hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers and lakes, and that they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just so big that they can walk in the water and stand on the bottom of a lake. They can breathe, see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food. It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. In fact, they get angry easily and often fight. Why do hippos fight? They fight with lions for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them. Hippos are very dangerous! Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast-about 30 kilometers an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them! 31．Why do hippos stay in the water for a long time? A．To have their babies there. B．To look for food to eat. C．To sleep better at night. D．To keep themselves cool. 32．What can hippos do when their bodies are under the water? A．They can fly. B．They can run. C．They can breathe. D．They can swim. 33．Why do hippos come out of the water after the sun goes down? A．Because the water gets too cold. B．Because they need to look for food. C．Because they want to play with other animals. D．Because they need to find a new river. 34．What does the underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hit something first to hurt it. B．Let something appear. C．Say yes to something. D．Become a part of something. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Friendly River Horses B．How to Stay Away from Hippos C．Hippos—Big, Fast and Dangerous D．The Food That Hippos Like to Eat C Slovenia is a small country with lots of mountains, and about 60% of its land is green forests. With a population of over 2 million, the country is home to around 11,000 beekeepers. Erik is one of the beekeepers there. His family has a long history of beekeeping—his father, grandfather, and even his great-grandfather are all beekeepers. At first, he just planned to work in news, but later the sound of the beehives (蜂箱) pulled him back to his family’s tradition. In the bee yard, Erik stands quietly by his beehives, listening to the soft song of wings. Bees are everything to him: his work, his joy and his duty. Every year from March to September, Erik follows his bees, moving beehives and collecting honey. He often says, “We keep bees with heart. It’s not just a job; it’s a relationship.” Although technology (科技) helps Erik check (检查) honey from far away, he believes human care is key. Erik still opens each beehive every ten days by hand and checks bees to make sure they are healthy. No robot can do it, and maybe there never will be. Bees play an important role in people’s lives in Slovenia. When a baby is born, families light beeswax (蜂蜡) candles. They do the same when someone dies. Bees stay with people through their happy and sad moments. 36．What do we know about Slovenia? A．It is a big country with forests. B．Half of the land is deserts. C．The country has a population of 11,000. D．There are many mountains in the country. 37．Which of the following affected Erik’s job choice? A．His family’s beekeeping history. B．The new beehive technology. C．The sweet smell of honey. D．The high price of honey. 38．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The best time to collect honey. B．Erik’s family tradition. C．Erik’s love for beekeeping. D．The importance of bees. 39．What does Erik think of new technology for beekeeping? A．He believes robots can do anything. B．He treasures human care more. C．He thinks it is the most useful. D．He is totally against it. 40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Bees are part of people’s lives in Slovenia. B．Bees work together and show great teamwork. C．Bees are important to the ecosystem in Slovenia. D．Bees can understand human feelings. D We’ve all seen pictures of camels (骆驼) carrying heavy loads across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the big round hump which is on a camel’s back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用储物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat and stored in the camel’s hump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (细胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight. Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life. 41．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel. C．The function of the hump. D．The ability of the camel. 42．Which is TRUE about the hump? A．The hump stores different kinds of food. B．The hump always stays the same size. C．The hump can store more than 130 litres water. D．The weight of the hump depends on eating conditions. 43．What does the underlined word “sponges” mean in Chinese? A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 D．吸管 44．Why does the writer use some numbers in this passage? A．To explain the facts more clearly. B．To express the ideas more politely. C．To make the article more educational. D．To make the language more beautiful. 45．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Camels have some amazing abilities. B．Camels are good helpers for desert people. C．Camels have a great quality of never wasting water. D．Camels have a perfect system for living in the desert. 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 Do you know what the world’s fastest animal is? How about the world’s smartest animal? Do you know which animal lives the longest? 46 You may know that the world’s fastest animal is the cheetah. 47 However, they can only run at that speed (速度) for about 60 seconds. When cheetahs are running at that speed, they spend more time in the air than on the ground. The largest animal in the world is the blue whale. 48 They are the largest animals that have ever existed (存在) on the earth. Blue whales are about 38 meters long, and they weigh around 170 tons. 49 Most people believe that tortoises (海龟) live the longest. 50 However, some ocean animals live longer. Some koi, a kind of goldfish, can live for more than 200 years. There’s even a kind of jellyfish (水母) that can change its cells (细胞) and make them new again. This means that whenever the jellyfish gets old and weak, it can make itself young again! The nick name of this jellyfish is “immortal jelly fish”. A．Let’s read about some of these amazing animals. B．They can only run at top speed for a short time. C．Blue whales eat about 3,600 kilograms of food every day. D．They aren’t just the largest species (物种) right now. E．The oldest tortoises that we know about died at the age of 188. F．Cheetahs can run at about 120 kilometers an hour. G．Some people think dolphins are the smartest animals in the sea. 第二部分 非选择题 五、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，按要求回答问题。(每题答案不超过7个单词) Parrots are some of the most interesting and clever birds on Earth.They are famous for their ability to copy human speech and sounds.They live in warm places around the world, such as rainforests in South America, Africa, and Australia.These colorful birds have many bright colors—red, blue, green, and yellow—and they have strong curved beaks (弯曲的喙) to help them open food.

A．sports B．health C．animal D．business B Hippos are called “river horses”. They are one of the biggest land animals in Africa. Usually, in most photos of these huge African animals, we can see them in the water. The reason is that hippos stay in the water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in the hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers and lakes, and that they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just so big that they can walk in the water and stand on the bottom of a lake. They can breathe, see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food. It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. In fact, they get angry easily and often fight. Why do hippos fight? They fight with lions for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them. Hippos are very dangerous! Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast-about 30 kilometers an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them! 31．Why do hippos stay in the water for a long time? A．To have their babies there. B．To look for food to eat. C．To sleep better at night. D．To keep themselves cool. 32．What can hippos do when their bodies are under the water? A．They can fly. B．They can run. C．They can breathe. D．They can swim. 33．Why do hippos come out of the water after the sun goes down? A．Because the water gets too cold. B．Because they need to look for food. C．Because they want to play with other animals. D．Because they need to find a new river. 34．What does the underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hit something first to hurt it. B．Let something appear. C．Say yes to something. D．Become a part of something. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Friendly River Horses B．How to Stay Away from Hippos C．Hippos—Big, Fast and Dangerous D．The Food That Hippos Like to Eat C Slovenia is a small country with lots of mountains, and about 60% of its land is green forests. With a population of over 2 million, the country is home to around 11,000 beekeepers. Erik is one of the beekeepers there. His family has a long history of beekeeping—his father, grandfather, and even his great-grandfather are all beekeepers. At first, he just planned to work in news, but later the sound of the beehives (蜂箱) pulled him back to his family’s tradition. In the bee yard, Erik stands quietly by his beehives, listening to the soft song of wings. Bees are everything to him: his work, his joy and his duty. Every year from March to September, Erik follows his bees, moving beehives and collecting honey. He often says, “We keep bees with heart. It’s not just a job; it’s a relationship.” Although technology (科技) helps Erik check (检查) honey from far away, he believes human care is key. Erik still opens each beehive every ten days by hand and checks bees to make sure they are healthy. No robot can do it, and maybe there never will be. Bees play an important role in people’s lives in Slovenia. When a baby is born, families light beeswax (蜂蜡) candles. They do the same when someone dies. Bees stay with people through their happy and sad moments. 36．What do we know about Slovenia? A．It is a big country with forests. B．Half of the land is deserts. C．The country has a population of 11,000. D．There are many mountains in the country. 37．Which of the following affected Erik’s job choice? A．His family’s beekeeping history. B．The new beehive technology. C．The sweet smell of honey. D．The high price of honey. 38．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The best time to collect honey. B．Erik’s family tradition. C．Erik’s love for beekeeping. D．The importance of bees. 39．What does Erik think of new technology for beekeeping? A．He believes robots can do anything. B．He treasures human care more. C．He thinks it is the most useful. D．He is totally against it. 40．What can we learn from the passage? A．Bees are part of people’s lives in Slovenia. B．Bees work together and show great teamwork. C．Bees are important to the ecosystem in Slovenia. D．Bees can understand human feelings. D We’ve all seen pictures of camels (骆驼) carrying heavy loads across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the big round hump which is on a camel’s back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用储物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat and stored in the camel’s hump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (细胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight. Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life. 41．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel. C．The function of the hump. D．The ability of the camel. 42．Which is TRUE about the hump? A．The hump stores different kinds of food. B．The hump always stays the same size. C．The hump can store more than 130 litres water. D．The weight of the hump depends on eating conditions. 43．What does the underlined word “sponges” mean in Chinese? A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 D．吸管 44．Why does the writer use some numbers in this passage? A．To explain the facts more clearly. B．To express the ideas more politely. C．To make the article more educational. D．To make the language more beautiful. 45．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Camels have some amazing abilities. B．Camels are good helpers for desert people. C．Camels have a great quality of never wasting water. D．Camels have a perfect system for living in the desert. 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 Do you know what the world’s fastest animal is? How about the world’s smartest animal? Do you know which animal lives the longest? 46 You may know that the world’s fastest animal is the cheetah. 47 However, they can only run at that speed (速度) for about 60 seconds. When cheetahs are running at that speed, they spend more time in the air than on the ground. The largest animal in the world is the blue whale. 48 They are the largest animals that have ever existed (存在) on the earth. Blue whales are about 38 meters long, and they weigh around 170 tons. 49 Most people believe that tortoises (海龟) live the longest. 50 However, some ocean animals live longer. Some koi, a kind of goldfish, can live for more than 200 years. There’s even a kind of jellyfish (水母) that can change its cells (细胞) and make them new again. This means that whenever the jellyfish gets old and weak, it can make itself young again! The nick name of this jellyfish is “immortal jelly fish”. A．Let’s read about some of these amazing animals. B．They can only run at top speed for a short time. C．Blue whales eat about 3,600 kilograms of food every day. D．They aren’t just the largest species (物种) right now. E．The oldest tortoises that we know about died at the age of 188. F．Cheetahs can run at about 120 kilometers an hour.
