The lakeside was full 1 lovely small trees with sweet fruits. Miko always wished to have a fruit tree of her own, but she was too 2 to plant and care for it. She often thought, “The fruit will just come out by itself if I wait long enough.” One day, Miko saw an old bird 3 a young fruit tree near the lake. She was 4 and flew over to ask, “Why do you work so hard on the small tree? Can’t it grow well without your care?” The old bird smiled and said, “No tree grows well alone. If you want sweet fruit, you must plant the seed and water it every day.” However, Miko still kept 5 the fruit to come magically. Days and weeks passed, but 6 happened. While the old bird’s tree grew tall and bore small fruits, Miko had nothing. She felt upset and realized her 7 at last. The next day, Miko decided to 8 . She asked the old bird for help, and they dug a hole, planted a seed and watered it together every day. 9 , Miko’s small seed grew into a big fruit tree with lots of sweet fruits. Miko learned an important 10 that day: all good things in life come from hard work and patience. 1．A．in B．of C．with D．for 2．A．lazy B．busy C．weak D．shy 3．A．cutting B．watering C．moving D．painting 4．A．angry B．curious C．sad D．proud 5．A．looking for B．waiting for C．talking about D．playing with 6．A．everything B．something C．nothing D．anything 7．A．mistake B．success C．chance D．difference 8．A．rest B．change C．cry D．leave 9．A．Carefully B．Suddenly C．Exactly D．Finally 10．A．game B．story C．lesson D．event 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述小鸟Miko起初因懒惰不愿种植果树，只空想不劳而获，后来在老鸟的启发下改正错误，通过辛勤劳动和耐心最终收获果实，明白了“生活中所有美好的事物都来自努力与耐心”的道理。 1．句意：湖边满是小树，结着甜美的果实。 be full of意为“充满、满是”，是固定短语，应用of。in、with、for均无法构成该固定搭配。 2．句意：Miko一直想拥有一棵属于自己的果树，但她太懒了，不愿意种植和照料它。 根据后文“The fruit will just come out by itself if I wait long enough.”，能看出Miko不愿付出劳动，是懒惰的，应用lazy“懒惰的”；busy“忙碌的”、weak“虚弱的”、shy“害羞的”均不符合。 3．句意：一天，Miko看见一只老鸟在湖边给一棵小树浇水。 根据后文老鸟的话“If you want sweet fruit, you must plant the seed and water it every day.”，可知老鸟正在做的动作是浇水，watering“浇水”符合语境；cutting“砍”、moving“移动”、painting“粉刷”均不符合。 4．句意：她很好奇，飞过去问道：“你为什么这么辛苦地照料这棵小树？没有你的照料，它难道就不能长得好吗？” Miko不理解老鸟的行为，主动询问原因，表明她好奇，应用curious“好奇的”；angry“生气的”、sad“难过的”、proud“骄傲的”均不符合。 5．句意：然而，Miko仍然继续等待果实神奇地出现。 对应前文Miko的想法“The fruit will just come out by itself if I wait long enough”，此处表示她依旧在等待，幻想不劳而获，应用waiting for“等待”；looking for“寻找”、talking about“谈论”、playing with“和……玩耍”均不符合。 6．句意：几天几周过去了，但什么也没有发生。 根据后文“While the old bird’s tree grew tall and bore small fruits, Miko had nothing.”，可知Miko什么都没等到，应用nothing“没有什么”；everything“一切”、something“某事”、anything“任何事”均不符合。 7．句意：她感到沮丧，终于意识到了自己的错误。 Miko因为懒惰、只空想不劳动，最终一无所获，因此认识到了自己的错误，mistake“错误”符合语境；success“成功”、chance“机会”、difference“不同”均不符合。 8．句意：第二天，Miko决定改变。 Miko意识到错误后，不再懒惰等待，而是主动向老鸟求助、开始劳动，是做出了改变，change“改变”符合；rest“休息”、cry“哭泣”、leave“离开”均不符合。 9．句意：最终，Miko的小种子长成了一棵结满甜果的大树。 经过日复一日的种植和浇水，最终种子长成了大树，Finally“最终”符合语境；Carefully“小心地”、Suddenly“突然”、Exactly“确切地”均不符合。 10．句意：那天Miko学到了重要的一课：生活中所有美好的事物都来自辛勤工作和耐心。 learn a lesson意为“学到一个教训、明白一个道理”，应用lesson；game“游戏”、story“故事”、event“事件”均不符合。 七、阅读理解。 When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it. “Spring is coming,” he said to Mary. “I can smell it in the air. ▲ .” At this moment, the robin flew towards them and landed at Mary’s feet. “He remembers me,” she said. “He knows everything here,” Ben said. “Only he knows what’s happening in the secret garden without a door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years.” Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt. The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking (啄食) at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw that there was something like metal (金属). She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key. “It’s been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.” Mary skipped (跃) around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin. “He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?” The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened. Only seconds later, Mary was inside the secret garden. Mary thought it was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen. —Adapted from The Secret Garden 1．Which of the following sentences can be put in “ __▲__ ” in Paragraph 2?

D．Excited. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是《秘密花园》的节选片段，讲述了孤独的Mary在花园里遇到知更鸟，在知更鸟的指引下找到钥匙和门，最终进入秘密花园的故事，展现了Mary从孤独到喜悦的情绪变化。 1．根据前一句“‘Spring is coming,’ he said to Mary. ‘I can smell it in the air.’” 可知，Ben在说春天要来了，能闻到春天的气息，接下来应描述春天到来的景象。 2．根据文中描述“the robin flew towards them”“did not fly away”“It began pecking at the ground, looking for a worm to eat”“It began to sing.”等行为，可知它是一种会飞、会啄食、会鸣叫的鸟。 3．文中先提到“At this moment, the robin flew towards them and landed at Mary’s feet.”，接着“The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking at the ground, looking for a worm to eat.”，然后“Mary skipped around the garden. The robin followed her.”，最后“The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing.”。因此正确顺序是d-c-a-b。 4．根据最后一段“Mary thought it was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen.”以及前文她从孤独到找到钥匙、打开秘密花园的过程，可知她最后的心情是兴奋的。 八、阅读表达。 Hans Christian Andersen: The Father of Fairy Tales Hans Christian Andersen is one of the most famous fairy tale writers in the world. His stories, such as The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl, have been loved by children for generations. But do you know about his own life? Andersen was born in 1805 in Denmark. His family was very poor. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother was a washerwoman. As a boy, Andersen loved to listen to stories. He also loved to create his own plays with puppets. When he was 14, he moved to Copenhagen to become an actor. But he failed. Later, with the help of kind people, he went to school. At school, he was much older than the other students and often felt unhappy. However, he discovered that he had a talent for writing. His first fairy tales came out in 1835. At first, people did not like them. Some critics said they were not suitable for children. But Andersen did not give up. He kept writing, and soon people began to love his stories. Many of his stories are about his own life. The Ugly Duckling is a good example. The ugly duckling was laughed at because it looked different. But in the end, it grew into a beautiful swan. Andersen himself had a difficult start, but he finally found his place in the world. Today, Andersen’s stories are read in more than 100 languages. They teach children about kindness, courage, and being true to oneself. 阅读短文，回答问题。 1．What did Andersen love to do as a boy? _______________________________________________ 2．Why did Andersen feel unhappy at school? ________________________________________________ 3．When did Andersen’s first fairy tales come out? _________________________________________________ 4．How is The Ugly Duckling similar to Andersen’s own life? _________________________________________________ 5．What do Andersen’s stories teach children? ___________________________________________________ 【答案】1．He loved to listen to stories and create his own plays with puppets. 2．Because he was much older than the other students. 3．In 1835. 4．Both the ugly duckling and Andersen had a difficult start but finally succeeded. 5．They teach children about kindness, courage, and being true to oneself. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了童话大师安徒生的生平故事，介绍了他童年时期的经历、写作生涯的起步以及他的作品如何反映自己的人生经历。 1．对应原文第二段内容“As a boy, Andersen loved to listen to stories. He also loved to create his own plays with puppets.”，直接提取整合信息即可得出答案。 2．原文第三段明确提到“At school, he was much older than the other students and often felt unhappy.”，由此可直接得出他不开心的原因。 3．原文第四段直接表述“His first fairy tales came out in 1835.”，直接提取时间信息。 4．答案对应原文第五段信息的概括总结。该段指出安徒生早年经历坎坷，而丑小鸭起初被嘲笑，最终成长为美丽的天鹅，二者均是开端艰难但最终获得成功，据此整合得出答案。 5．原文最后一段明确说明“They teach children about kindness, courage, and being true to oneself.”，直接提取该内容即为答案。 The Little Mermaid (Excerpt) The little mermaid lived in the sea with her father and sisters. She was a kind and curious girl. She always wanted to know about the human world above the sea. One day, she saw a prince on a ship and saved him when the ship sank.

She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key. “It’s been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.” Mary skipped (跃) around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin. “He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?” The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened.

His stories, such as The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl, have been loved by children for generations. But do you know about his own life? Andersen was born in 1805 in Denmark. His family was very poor. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother was a washerwoman. As a boy, Andersen loved to listen to stories. He also loved to create his own plays with puppets. When he was 14, he moved to Copenhagen to become an actor. But he failed. Later, with the help of kind people, he went to school. At school, he was much older than the other students and often felt unhappy. However, he discovered that he had a talent for writing. His first fairy tales came out in 1835. At first, people did not like them. Some critics said they were not suitable for children. But Andersen did not give up. He kept writing, and soon people began to love his stories. Many of his stories are about his own life. The Ugly Duckling is a good example. The ugly duckling was laughed at because it looked different. But in the end, it grew into a beautiful swan. Andersen himself had a difficult start, but he finally found his place in the world. Today, Andersen’s stories are read in more than 100 languages. They teach children about kindness, courage, and being true to oneself. 阅读短文，回答问题。 1．What did Andersen love to do as a boy? _______________________________________________ 2．Why did Andersen feel unhappy at school? ________________________________________________ 3．When did Andersen’s first fairy tales come out? _________________________________________________ 4．How is The Ugly Duckling similar to Andersen’s own life? _________________________________________________ 5．What do Andersen’s stories teach children? ___________________________________________________ The Little Mermaid (Excerpt) The little mermaid lived in the sea with her father and sisters.
