A. fewer and fewer, less and less B. smaller and smaller, less and less C. fewer and fewer, smaller and smaller D. smaller and smaller, fewer and fewer 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：北极熊的数量变得越来越少，因为气候变化导致了越来越少的生存空间。 the number of表示“……的数量”，表示数目大小只能用large，small来修饰，此处描述“数量越来越少”，要用smaller and smaller，排除A，C选项；less是little的比较级，修饰不可数名词，fewer是few的比较级，修饰可数名词，spaces是可数名词的复数形式，只能用fewer and fewer来修饰。 7.

They use colors, feelings, and experiences to paint a picture in your mind. Spring is a fine season. It lights up people’s feelings and brings hope. Read the following poems. A Spring Morning (By Meng Haoran, China) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till the birds are crying. After one night of wind and ___▲___ . How many are the fallen flowers? Spring (By Shakespeare, the UK) The world’s fairest season, when the earth in bloom is dressed, The air is filled with fragrance, as the flowers burst into bloom, The birds take to the sky, and their melodies fill the air, As they sing of love and beauty, in this wondrous time of year. The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Shakespeare’s poem celebrates the beauty of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively and hopefully. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.” 26. Which word may be the most suitable for the blank “ ___▲___ ”? A. rains B. showers C. storms D. snows 27. Which of the following do the two poems include in common? ①flowers ②sky ③wind ④birds A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 28. In Shakespeare’s eyes, what is spring like? A. Boring. B. Silent. C. Interesting. D. Hopeful. 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了两首关于春天的诗歌——中国诗人孟浩然的《春晓》和英国诗人莎士比亚的《春》，并分析了它们的内容与意境，体现了春天的生机与希望。 【26题详解】 《春晓》原句为“夜来风雨声，花落知多少”，“showers”在文学语境中常指轻柔的春雨，比“rains”更贴合春日细腻温柔的意境，也更符合英文诗歌的韵律感，因此最适合填入空白处，对应选项B。 【27题详解】 两首诗的共同点：①flowers：《春晓》提到“fallen flowers”，《春》提到“flowers burst into bloom”，都包含花的意象； ④birds：《春晓》提到“the birds are crying”，《春》提到“The birds take to the sky”，都包含鸟的意象；②sky：仅在《春》中出现，《春晓》未提及； ③wind：仅在《春晓》中出现，《春》未提及。 因此共同元素为①④，对应选项C。 【28题详解】 文中提到“Shakespeare’s poem celebrates the beauty of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively and hopefully.”，直接说明在莎士比亚眼中，春天是充满希望的（Hopeful），对应选项D。 B ①Elephants are the largest land mammals on earth. They have long trunks (象鼻) and large ears. They can do many things and can even recognize (认出) themselves in the mirror. Elephant Herds (群) ②Female elephants and their baby elephants live in large groups called herds. These herds are usually led by the oldest and largest female. But incredibly, people have even seen herds of over 100 African elephants. African Elephants ③African elephants are the largest elephants and they live in different parts of Africa. All African elephants grow tusks (长牙). They use these tusks to do many different things, such as lifting things and digging holes. There are two different types of African elephants. They are called the savannah (草原) elephant and the forest elephant. The savannah elephant is the biggest type of elephant. They spend most of their day eating grass and other plants. The forest elephants are smaller and live in wooded rainforests. As they live in rainforests that have lots of trees, it can be difficult to count how many forest elephants are living in one area. Researchers count the number of elephant droppings instead of counting the number of elephants! Asian Elephants ④Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants. Their ears are smaller and rounder than those of African elephants. There are three different types of Asian elephants. The largest of these is the Sri Lankan elephant. ⑤Today, African elephant populations are slowly increasing but Asian elephant populations are decreasing. Many countries now put laws in place to help to protect these amazing animals. 29. What does the writer think of elephants? A. They are beautiful. B. They are nice and funny. C. They are clever. D. They are dirty. 30. What does the underlined word “incredibly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Terribly. B. Carefully. C. Differently. D. Unbelievably. 31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The living habits of Asian elephants. B. The shapes and types of Asian elephants. C. The living condition of Asian elephants. D. The bright future life of Asian elephants. 32. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ 【答案】29. C 30. D 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文先总述大象是地球最大陆地哺乳动物且十分聪慧，再分别介绍大象的群居特点、非洲象和亚洲象的外形、种类等特征，最后说明非、亚洲象的种群数量现状及多国的保护举措，全面介绍了大象的基础特征、不同种类特点与生存现状。 【29题详解】 第一段“They can do many things and can even recognize themselves in the mirror.”作者提及大象能做很多事，甚至能在镜子里认出自己，这一行为可推断出大象的聪慧。 【30题详解】 第二段“These herds are usually led by the oldest and largest female. But incredibly, people have even seen herds of over 100 African elephants.”前半句说明大象群居的常规状态，后半句“看到超过100头非洲象的象群”是超出常规、令人意外的情况；incredibly意为“难以置信地”，与Unbelievably同义。 【31题详解】 第四段核心内容为：亚洲象体型比非洲象小、耳朵更小更圆，且有三个不同种类，其中斯里兰卡象体型最大，即亚洲象的外形和种类。 【32题详解】 ①段总起：整体介绍大象的基础属性和聪慧特征，为全文总纲；②③④段分述：分别介绍大象的群居特点、非洲象的详细信息、亚洲象的详细信息，是对大象的具体分类介绍；⑤段总结：说明目前非洲象和亚洲象的数量现状，以及各国的保护举措，收束全文。 C Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain (疼痛). We all judge (判断) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who spends too long on a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger ones, such as a person who hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel afraid. We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for others’ behaviour (行为). It’s natural to judge others, but try to catch yourself before you speak, because you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behaviour. When someone disagrees with us or makes our lives difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their own pain or struggle (挣扎). Why not let others say something for themselves? “You can never understand the pain of a person enough.” said Will Smith, “because to be honest, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.” 33. Why does the writer talk about the dog in paragraph 1? A. To describe the qualities of the dog. B. To share a good story with the readers. C. To give an example to show his ideas. D. To tell the readers to have pity on the dog. 34. According to (根据) the writer, we usually judge others ________ . A. over bigger things instead of small ones B. after thinking carefully about themselves C. about the real reasons behind their behaviour D. to make ourselves survive when feeling afraid 35. What can we know from the passage? A. We don’t need to care about others’ pain. B. We can always understand the pain of person. C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is. D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is. 36. What is the best title for the passage? A. Think Twice Before You Judge B. Too Late to Judge C. The Best Way to Judge D. Have a Reason to Judge 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. D 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过狗的例子引入，随后展开逻辑论述，直接提出观点并进行论证，旨在探讨人际交往中“评判他人”这一核心议题。文章的核心观点是：在评判他人之前，务必三思。 【33题详解】 根据第一段中的“Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry.”可知，作者是在第1段通过狗的例子说他的想法的。 【34题详解】 根据第二段中的“It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel afraid.”可知，我们通常出于生存本能、在感到害怕时去判断他人。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段中的“When someone disagrees with us or makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their own pain or struggle (挣扎). Why not let others say something for themselves? “You can never understand the pain of a person enough.” said Will Smith, “because to be honest, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”可知，切勿认为他人的痛苦比实际更轻微。 【36题详解】 文章通过狗的例子引入，随后展开逻辑论述，直接提出观点并进行论证，旨在探讨人际交往中“评判他人”这一核心议题。文章的核心观点是：在评判他人之前，务必三思。 D After crossing the river, Dorothy and her friends came to a flower field, with many other colourful flowers next to it. “How beautiful!” Dorothy said. “When I have brains, I will probably like them better,” the Scarecrow said. “If I had a heart, I would love them,” added the Tin Woodman. “I always liked flowers,” the Lion said. “But there are none in the forest so bright as these.” Soon they found themselves in the middle of poppies. It is known that when there are many of these flowers together, their strong smell will make anyone breathing it fall asleep, even sleep forever. But Dorothy didn’t know this. Soon Dorothy’s eyes grew so heavy that she felt she had to sleep. Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep. “The smell is killing us all. If we leave her here, she will die,” said the Lion. “I can hardly keep my eyes open, and the dog Toto is asleep already.” “Run fast and get out of here,” said the Scarecrow to the Lion. “We can carry the little girl, but you are too heavy.” The Lion ran as fast as possible but he fell asleep before he was out of the field. Luckily, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were not troubled by the smell. They made a chair with their hands and carried Dorothy through the flowers to the grass far enough from the poppy field. The Tin Woodman built a truck and pulled the Lion with the Scarecrow. The sweet fresh air woke Dorothy, Toto and the Lion. Soon they continued their journey. —Adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 37. What does the underlined word “poppies” mean? A. A kind of tall tree. B. A kind of special colour. C. A kind of sweet fruit. D. A kind of poisonous plant. 38. Who were not troubled by the smell? A. The Scarecrow and Dorothy. B. The Lion and Toto. C. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. D.

A. ④②①③ B. ②①③④ C. ④①②③ D. ②④①③ 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. The story happened by the river. B. Dorothy didn’t get along with her friends. C. They can be safe in the field for a long time. D. Dorothy and her friends were on a hard journey. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《绿野仙踪》，讲述了多萝西和朋友们穿过罂粟花田时，因花香陷入沉睡，最终被稻草人和铁皮人救出的故事。 【37题详解】 第五段描述poppies罂粟花的气味会让人昏睡，甚至永远沉睡：“their strong smell will make anyone breathing it fall asleep, even sleep forever”，说明它是一种有毒植物。 【38题详解】 倒数第二段指出：“the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were not troubled by the smell”，说明稻草人和铁皮人不受这种气味的影响。 【39题详解】 故事顺序为：来到罂粟花田（第五段“Soon they found themselves in the middle of poppies.”）→多萝西睡着（第五段“Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep.”）→狮子睡着（倒数第二段“the Lion...fell asleep before he was out of the field.”）→新鲜空气唤醒大家（最后一段“The sweet fresh air woke Dorothy, Toto and the Lion.”），因此正确顺序为④②①③。 【40题详解】 全文描述了多萝西和朋友们在旅途中遇到的危险，说明他们的旅程充满艰难。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） If you want to see mountains, glaciers (冰川), and volcanoes (火山), go to Alaska.

They use colors, feelings, and experiences to paint a picture in your mind. Spring is a fine season. It lights up people’s feelings and brings hope. Read the following poems. A Spring Morning (By Meng Haoran, China) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till the birds are crying. After one night of wind and ___▲___ . How many are the fallen flowers? Spring (By Shakespeare, the UK) The world’s fairest season, when the earth in bloom is dressed, The air is filled with fragrance, as the flowers burst into bloom, The birds take to the sky, and their melodies fill the air, As they sing of love and beauty, in this wondrous time of year. The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Shakespeare’s poem celebrates the beauty of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively and hopefully. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.” 26. Which word may be the most suitable for the blank “ ___▲___ ”? A. rains B. showers C. storms D. snows 27. Which of the following do the two poems include in common? ①flowers ②sky ③wind ④birds A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 28. In Shakespeare’s eyes, what is spring like? A Boring. B. Silent. C. Interesting. D. Hopeful. B ①Elephants are the largest land mammals on earth. They have long trunks (象鼻) and large ears. They can do many things and can even recognize (认出) themselves in the mirror. Elephant Herds (群) ②Female elephants and their baby elephants live in large groups called herds. These herds are usually led by the oldest and largest female. But incredibly, people have even seen herds of over 100 African elephants. African Elephants ③African elephants are the largest elephants and they live in different parts of Africa. All African elephants grow tusks (长牙). They use these tusks to do many different things, such as lifting things and digging holes. There are two different types of African elephants. They are called the savannah (草原) elephant and the forest elephant. The savannah elephant is the biggest type of elephant. They spend most of their day eating grass and other plants. The forest elephants are smaller and live in wooded rainforests. As they live in rainforests that have lots of trees, it can be difficult to count how many forest elephants are living in one area. Researchers count the number of elephant droppings instead of counting the number of elephants! Asian Elephants ④Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants. Their ears are smaller and rounder than those of African elephants. There are three different types of Asian elephants. The largest of these is the Sri Lankan elephant. ⑤Today, African elephant populations are slowly increasing but Asian elephant populations are decreasing. Many countries now put laws in place to help to protect these amazing animals. 29. What does the writer think of elephants? A. They are beautiful. B. They are nice and funny. C. They are clever. D. They are dirty. 30. What does the underlined word “incredibly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Terribly. B. Carefully. C. Differently. D. Unbelievably. 31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The living habits of Asian elephants. B. The shapes and types of Asian elephants. C. The living condition of Asian elephants. D. The bright future life of Asian elephants. 32. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ C Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain (疼痛). We all judge (判断) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who spends too long on a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger ones, such as a person who hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel afraid. We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for others’ behaviour (行为). It’s natural to judge others, but try to catch yourself before you speak, because you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behaviour. When someone disagrees with us or makes our lives difficult remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their own pain or struggle (挣扎). Why not let others say something for themselves? “You can never understand the pain of a person enough.” said Will Smith, “because to be honest, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.” 33. Why does the writer talk about the dog in paragraph 1? A. To describe the qualities of the dog. B. To share a good story with the readers. C. To give an example to show his ideas. D. To tell the readers to have pity on the dog. 34. According to (根据) the writer, we usually judge others ________ . A. over bigger things instead of small ones B. after thinking carefully about themselves C. about the real reasons behind their behaviour D. to make ourselves survive when feeling afraid 35. What can we know from the passage? A. We don’t need to care about others’ pain. B. We can always understand the pain of person. C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is. D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is. 36. What is the best title for the passage? A. Think Twice Before You Judge B. Too Late to Judge C. The Best Way to Judge D. Have a Reason to Judge D After crossing the river, Dorothy and her friends came to a flower field, with many other colourful flowers next to it. “How beautiful!” Dorothy said. “When I have brains, I will probably like them better,” the Scarecrow said. “If I had a heart, I would love them,” added the Tin Woodman. “I always liked flowers,” the Lion said. “But there are none in the forest so bright as these.” Soon they found themselves in the middle of poppies. It is known that when there are many of these flowers together, their strong smell will make anyone breathing it fall asleep, even sleep forever. But Dorothy didn’t know this. Soon Dorothy’s eyes grew so heavy that she felt she had to sleep. Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep. “The smell is killing us all. If we leave her here, she will die,” said the Lion. “I can hardly keep my eyes open, and the dog Toto is asleep already.” “Run fast and get out of here,” said the Scarecrow to the Lion. “We can carry the little girl, but you are too heavy.” The Lion ran as fast as possible but he fell asleep before he was out of the field. Luckily, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were not troubled by the smell. They made a chair with their hands and carried Dorothy through the flowers to the grass far enough from the poppy field. The Tin Woodman built a truck and pulled the Lion with the Scarecrow. The sweet fresh air woke Dorothy, Toto and the Lion. Soon they continued their journey. —Adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 37. What does the underlined word “poppies” mean? A. A kind of tall tree. B. A kind of special colour. C. A kind of sweet fruit. D. A kind of poisonous plant. 38 Who were not troubled by the smell? A. The Scarecrow and Dorothy. B. The Lion and Toto. C. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. D. The Tin Woodman and the Lion. 39. Which is the right order of what happened in the story? ①The Lion fell asleep in the field. ②Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep. ③The fresh air woke Dorothy, Toto and the Lion. ④Dorothy and her friends came to a poppy flower field. A. ④②①③ B. ②①③④ C. ④①②③ D. ②④①③ 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. The story happened by the river. B. Dorothy didn’t get along with her friends. C. They can be safe in the field for a long time. D. Dorothy and her friends were on a hard journey. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） If you want to see mountains, glaciers (冰川), and volcanoes (火山), go to Alaska.
