Practice makes perfect. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——露西放学后还在继续做她的项目。——努力终有回报。她的团队最终赢得了科学竞赛。 考查谚语和常识。Hard work pays off.努力终有回报；Every dog has its day.凡人皆有得意日；Better late than never.迟做总比不做好；Practice makes perfect.熟能生巧。根据语境可知，露西放学后还在继续做她的项目，并且她的团队最终赢得了科学竞赛，这说明露西的努力得到了回报，所以应该用“Hard work pays off.”来表达这一意思。故选A。 Ⅵ. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food.

Some people like to run or climb mountains, but if you want to take care of your body with less risk of injury, Tai Chi is the ____21____ exercise.

At first, Chitu’s owner was Lü Bu, a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period. After Lü Bu’s defeat, it was passed to a heroic general called Guan Yu. Legend says Chitu could run “a thousand li” (about 500 km) in one day! What super speed! Dilu (的卢) was special with a white spot on its forehead. In legends, it saved its owner, Liu Bei, by running fast and jumping across a wide river during an escape. Dilu’s story later became an allusion (典故) and was widely used by writers and poets. Wuzhui (乌骓) was a strong and brave horse of Xiang Yu, the “Hegemon-King of Western Chu.” Its body was pure black and smooth like a bolt of silk, while its four hooves were as white as snow.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国古代三匹名马 —— 赤兔、的卢、乌骓的外形特点、主人以及相关传奇故事，展现了名马与主人之间的故事和它们的独特之处。 【36题详解】 第一段指出：“Chitu is also called ‘Red Hare,’ because it had a red coat and ran very fast like a hare.”，直接说明赤兔被称为 “Red Hare” 是因为它毛色赤红且跑得像兔子一样快。 【37题详解】 第二段说明：“In legends, it saved its owner, Liu Bei, by running fast and jumping across a wide river during an escape.”，表明的卢是通过飞快奔跑并跃过一条大河，在逃亡中救下了刘备。 【38题详解】 第三段描述：“Its body was pure black and smooth like a bolt of silk, while its four hooves were as white as snow.”，由此可知乌骓通体乌黑光滑如绸缎，四蹄雪白。 B Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Creating an interest in what they learn Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain’s more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. In some ways, good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. Practicing and learning from mistakes Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Developing their study skills It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for some other ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student for further understanding. Asking questions Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well. 39. What makes it easier for people to pay attention to something for a long time? A. Practicing it very often. B. Being interested in it. C. Taking good notes about it. D. Asking questions about it. 40. Which of the following is a good study skill according to the passage? A. Only studying hard without any methods. B. Reading notes once a week to review knowledge. C.

Learning is a lifelong journey. C. Good habits of successful learners. D. Different study skills for students. 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了成功的学习者所具备的一些共同的好习惯，包括对所学内容产生兴趣、练习并从错误中学习、培养学习技能以及提问等方面，强调了这些好习惯对学习的重要性。 【39题详解】 第二段提到“Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain’s more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time”，这直接说明对某事物感兴趣能让人更容易长时间关注它。 【40题详解】 第四段说明好的学习技能相关内容，“They also look for some other ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student for further understanding”，其中提到向其他学生解释所学信息是一种复习方式，属于好的学习技能，所以选项C符合。 【41题详解】 最后一段总结全文，“Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common”，且前文分别阐述了成功学习者的各种好习惯，说明文章主要讲的是成功学习者的好习惯。 C For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou province, caring for the elderly (年老的) is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng completed eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to give it up at first, but after a period, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home,” said Grandpa Li. Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in times when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life. 42. What did Chen Sheng do before working in the nursing home? A. He took care of his grandparents at home. B. He studied healthcare in a nursing home. C. He received 8 months of training in a local hospital. D. He provided bedside care for the sick in a hospital. 43. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Grandpa Li’s life in the nursing home is very convenient. B. Chen Sheng uses his medical knowledge to care for the elderly well. C. Chen Sheng can do physical examinations and give health guidance. D. Many elderly people in the nursing home are in poor health at first. 44. How is the passage organized? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤ 45.

He loved her deeply and wanted more than anything in the world to make her happy. He bought her a fine horse, but she didn’t like to ride. He bought her some beautiful and expensive clothes, but Araminta said that they made her neck uncomfortable. He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home, but Araminta thought the empty stone hall was so cold and she felt lonely. The king was puzzled. He had given his daughter everything that made her happy. “What else could you possibly want?” the king asked his daughter. Araminta didn’t have an answer because she didn’t know herself. One day, while walking near a river alone, Araminta noticed a fishing rod resting on a rock. She hooked a worm onto the line and threw it into the water. She sat on a rock by the river for hours, enjoying the warm sunshine on her skin as she was fishing. When she caught a small fish, she shouted in excitement. Later that day, she asked her father, “Father, would you buy me a fishing rod?” “That’s easy enough,” the king replied. “But I don’t understand,” he said. “How could a fishing rod make you so happy?” Araminta simply smiled. “You don’t have to understand,” she said. “Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.” 46. Why did the king buy many expensive things for Princess Araminta? A. Because he wanted to show his wealth to others. B. Because he hoped to make his daughter happy. C. Because the princess asked for those expensive things. D. Because those things made the king feel happy. 47. What can we learn about the king? A. He knew exactly what made his daughter happy. B. He was unwilling to buy a fishing rod for the princess. C. He tried his best to make his daughter happy. D. He thought simple things could bring true happiness. 48. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s not easy for a king to raise a daughter. B. Expensive things can always bring people happiness. C. The princess loved fishing more than anything else. D. True happiness often comes from the simplest joys. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位国王为了让女儿开心，给她买了许多昂贵的礼物，但她都不喜欢。最终，女儿通过一次简单的河边钓鱼体验，找到了真正的幸福，并向父亲揭示了“幸福并非源于昂贵之物，而是来自最简单的乐趣”的道理。 【46题详解】 第一段揭示原因：“He loved her deeply and wanted more than anything in the world to make her happy”，说明国王深爱女儿，送礼物是希望女儿开心。 【47题详解】 第二段提到：“He bought her a fine horse...He bought her some beautiful and expensive clothes...He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home”，并结合第三段“He had given his daughter everything that made her happy.”可知，国王先后为公主买马、名贵衣服、山间避暑宫殿，一直努力满足公主、讨她开心，确实已经尽全力。 【48题详解】 最后一段点明主题：“Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.”，说明幸福不总是来自昂贵的事物，真正的快乐往往来自最简单的乐趣。 E If you search for places of beauty, wetlands probably won’t be high on your list. Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water. The roles that the wetlands play in nature might go beyond many people’s imagination. Wetlands appear naturally in almost every part of the world. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth. Along with rainforests, they are among the most diverse (多样的) places on Earth. Besides natural wetlands, humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management. One of the main advantages of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing (释放) it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge (海绵). When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they take in the extra water which may cause floods. Then, when water levels become low later, they will release it. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more natural way than dams (坝). However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, don’t stop all dangers from flooding. Wetlands also play a part in cleaning water. Farming actions and city waste are main causes of water pollution. Wetlands include plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution. Wetlands have other advantages for the environment as well. They can help to feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food for them into rivers. Also, many animals like frogs use wetlands as baby-raising grounds because they provide the place for catching food and the water required. Although wetlands may not look pretty, it’s clear that they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken. 49. What are wetlands according to the passage? A. Dry land with many rare plants. B. Land areas that are often fully covered with water. C. Man-made places for water management only. D. The most beautiful natural places in the world. 50. What does the underlined word “operate” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Look. B. Work. C. Change. D. Form. 51. Which of the following is NOT a way wetlands help the environment? A. Cleaning water by reducing pollution. B. Providing food and living places for animals. C. Feeding nearby fish populations indirectly. D. Stopping all the flood dangers completely. 52. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. wetlands are less diverse than rainforests B. man-made wetlands have no environmental value C. wetlands are important for keeping the food chain balanced D. most people know the great importance of wetlands well 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了湿地的定义、类型，以及湿地在防洪、净化水质、为动物提供食物和栖息地等方面对环境的重要作用，强调了湿地对维持生态平衡的重要性。 【49题详解】 第一段指出定义：“Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water”，这直接说明湿地是经常完全被水覆盖的陆地区域。 【50题详解】 第三段解释词义：结合上下文“they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing it over time”可知，湿地通过储存水分再缓慢释放来防洪，类似海绵的作用，因此“operate”在此处表示“工作；发挥作用”，与“Work”含义相近。 【51题详解】 第三、四段说明排除项：第三段提到“wetlands, like dams, don’t stop all dangers from flooding”，第四段提到湿地能“cleaning water by reducing pollution”“feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food”“provide the place for catching food and the water required”，由此可知“完全阻止所有洪水危险”并非湿地对环境的帮助方式。 【52题详解】 第四段推断结论：“they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken”，说明湿地能保障生命循环的完整，可推断出湿地对维持食物链平衡至关重要。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F Once there was a rich man who lived in a beautiful castle near a village. He loved people there and tried his best to provide help. He planted beautiful trees near their houses, and every year he even gave away a Christmas tree. But people there were still unhappy because they were not rich enough to live a comfortable life. One day this man got up early, and placed a large stone in the road. Then he hid himself behind the bushes and waited to see what would happen. Soon a poor man came along. He screamed angrily because of the stone in his path, but he walked around it and continued his way. Then a farmer came. He complained but drove around it too. The day passed, everyone who came by complained, but nobody touched the stone. Just at nightfall, a boy came. He was very tired because he had been busy at the factory all day long. He said to himself, “It is almost dark. Somebody may fall over this stone, and perhaps be badly hurt. I will move it out of the way.” He pulled and pushed. At last he moved the stone. To his surprise, he found a bag of gold lying under it. It said, “The one who moves the stone owns me.” The boy went home happily. The rich man finally found out the cause of the villagers’ poverty—they were too lazy and selfish. 53. Where did the rich man live? (不超过10个词) _____________________________________________________ 54. What did the boy find under the large stone? (不超过5个词) _____________________________________________________ 55. Why were the villagers poor? (不超过10个词) _____________________________________________________ 【答案】53. He lived in a beautiful castle near a village. 54. A bag of gold. 55.

At first, Chitu’s owner was Lü Bu, a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period. After Lü Bu’s defeat, it was passed to a heroic general called Guan Yu. Legend says Chitu could run “a thousand li” (about 500 km) in one day! What super speed! Dilu (的卢) was special with a white spot on its forehead. In legends, it saved its owner, Liu Bei, by running fast and jumping across a wide river during an escape. Dilu’s story later became an allusion (典故) and was widely used by writers and poets. Wuzhui (乌骓) was a strong and brave horse of Xiang Yu, the “Hegemon-King of Western Chu.” Its body was pure black and smooth like a bolt of silk, while its four hooves were as white as snow. After his owner died at the Wu River, this loyal (忠诚的)horse jumped into the same river, following its owner even in death. 36. Why is Chitu also called “Red Hare”? A. Because it was as smart as a hare. B. Because it was the favorite horse of a hare. C. Because it had a red coat and ran fast like a hare. D. Because it could jump as far as a hare. 37. How did Dilu save Liu Bei? A. It fought against the enemies bravely. B. It carried Liu Bei to jump over a wide river. C. It ran fast and led Liu Bei to find a safe place. D. It scared the enemies away with its speed. 38. What can we learn about Wuzhui from the passage? A. It was a horse with a black body and white hooves. B. It ran the fastest among the three horses. C. It saved its owner many times in wars. D. It was passed to another person after its owner died. B Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Creating an interest in what they learn Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain’s more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. In some ways, good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. Practicing and learning from mistakes Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Developing their study skills It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for some other ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student for further understanding. Asking questions Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well. 39. What makes it easier for people to pay attention to something for a long time? A. Practicing it very often. B. Being interested in it. C. Taking good notes about it. D. Asking questions about it. 40. Which of the following is a good study skill according to the passage? A. Only studying hard without any methods. B. Reading notes once a week to review knowledge. C. Explaining learned information to other students. D. Being afraid of making mistakes when practicing. 41. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to create an interest in learning. B. Learning is a lifelong journey. C. Good habits of successful learners. D. Different study skills for students. C For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou province, caring for the elderly (年老的) is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng completed eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to give it up at first, but after a period, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed.

He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home, but Araminta thought the empty stone hall was so cold and she felt lonely. The king was puzzled. He had given his daughter everything that made her happy. “What else could you possibly want?” the king asked his daughter. Araminta didn’t have an answer because she didn’t know herself. One day, while walking near a river alone, Araminta noticed a fishing rod resting on a rock. She hooked a worm onto the line and threw it into the water. She sat on a rock by the river for hours, enjoying the warm sunshine on her skin as she was fishing. When she caught a small fish, she shouted in excitement. Later that day, she asked her father, “Father, would you buy me a fishing rod?” “That’s easy enough,” the king replied. “But I don’t understand,” he said. “How could a fishing rod make you so happy?” Araminta simply smiled. “You don’t have to understand,” she said. “Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.” 46. Why did the king buy many expensive things for Princess Araminta? A. Because he wanted to show his wealth to others. B.

Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water. The roles that the wetlands play in nature might go beyond many people’s imagination. Wetlands appear naturally in almost every part of the world. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth. Along with rainforests, they are among the most diverse (多样的) places on Earth. Besides natural wetlands, humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management. One of the main advantages of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing (释放) it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge (海绵). When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they take in the extra water which may cause floods. Then, when water levels become low later, they will release it. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more natural way than dams (坝). However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, don’t stop all dangers from flooding. Wetlands also play a part in cleaning water. Farming actions and city waste are main causes of water pollution. Wetlands include plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution. Wetlands have other advantages for the environment as well. They can help to feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food for them into rivers. Also, many animals like frogs use wetlands as baby-raising grounds because they provide the place for catching food and the water required. Although wetlands may not look pretty, it’s clear that they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken. 49. What are wetlands according to the passage? A. Dry land with many rare plants. B. Land areas that are often fully covered with water. C. Man-made places for water management only. D. The most beautiful natural places in the world. 50. What does the underlined word “operate” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Look. B. Work. C. Change. D. Form. 51. Which of the following is NOT a way wetlands help the environment? A. Cleaning water by reducing pollution. B. Providing food and living places for animals. C. Feeding nearby fish populations indirectly. D. Stopping all the flood dangers completely. 52. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. wetlands are less diverse than rainforests B. man-made wetlands have no environmental value C. wetlands are important for keeping the food chain balanced D. most people know the great importance of wetlands well 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F Once there was a rich man who lived in a beautiful castle near a village. He loved people there and tried his best to provide help. He planted beautiful trees near their houses, and every year he even gave away a Christmas tree. But people there were still unhappy because they were not rich enough to live a comfortable life. One day this man got up early, and placed a large stone in the road. Then he hid himself behind the bushes and waited to see what would happen. Soon a poor man came along. He screamed angrily because of the stone in his path, but he walked around it and continued his way. Then a farmer came. He complained but drove around it too. The day passed, everyone who came by complained, but nobody touched the stone. Just at nightfall, a boy came. He was very tired because he had been busy at the factory all day long. He said to himself, “It is almost dark. Somebody may fall over this stone, and perhaps be badly hurt. I will move it out of the way.” He pulled and pushed. At last he moved the stone. To his surprise, he found a bag of gold lying under it. It said, “The one who moves the stone owns me.” The boy went home happily. The rich man finally found out the cause of the villagers’ poverty—they were too lazy and selfish. 53. Where did the rich man live? (不超过10个词) _____________________________________________________ 54.
