Narrator: There once was a beautiful princess whose favorite amusement was a golden ball. One day the princess tossed the ball too high, and it landed in the well (井). As the princess cried over her lost treasure, she heard someone ask a question.
Frog: Why are you so sad, beautiful princess?
Narrator: The princess looked around and saw only a frog.
Princess: My favorite golden ball fell into the well.
Frog: I can retrieve it for you, but first, you must agree to one condition. You must promise to take me home and be my friend.
Narrator: The princess didn’t want to be friends with a frog, but she promised anyway. When the frog brought her the ball, the princess snatched (夺去) it from him and hurried home!
Frog: What a selfish princess! I’m certain that she has forgotten her promise. I’ll just hop over to the castle to remind her.
Narrator: The frog hop-hop-hopped through the grass and knocked on the heavy door of the castle.
Princess: What are you doing here, you bumbling frog?

Narrator: The princess did as she was asked, but the frog looked sad!
Frog: You have welcomed me into your home, but I can tell that you don’t want to be my friend.

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program. Because of this, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.
38. Which of the following is an oh-oh?
A. A girl who is good-looking.
B. A girl who is smart.
C. A boy who was born in 1999.
D. A boy who was born in 2004.
39. The oh-ohs are thought of as the “face-down generation” because they ________.
A. use their phones too much B. need to study hard in school
C. are interested in younger friends D. are more creative than their parents
40. What do “helicopter parents” do for their children?
A. They help them to face the challenges.
B. They do the homework instead of them.
C. They guide and plan everything for them.
D. They keep them away from after-school activities.
41. The underlined word “rights” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A. somebody that leads a community B. somebody that looks after teenagers
C. something that people volunteer to do D. something that people are allowed to do
D

“Sorry, son,” said Gary’s dad, “we can only afford to pay half of the cost. You could pay the other half by getting a part-time job, but what about the tests? Do you think you can pass it?”
Gary thought for a moment. “No problem,” he said, “I’ll pass the test and I’ll get a job. You’ll see.”
Crossbridge Football Club was in a large modern building on the edge of town. Matt, Joe and Karen sat in the dining hall at the end of their first day in the club. The dining hall was full of young people laughing and talking.
“I think they’re enjoying themselves,” said Matt.
“Well, I didn’t enjoy myself,” said Joe.
“Neither did I,” said Matt. “Something’s missing.”
“Gary’s missing,” said Joe.
“It’s not the same without him.” said Karen.
“We need to do something about Gary,” said Joe.
“I’ve got a plan,” said Matt.
42. Why did Gary study the application form?

The next day, they tried to save themselves and move out together. Ganyu lost his glasses during the earthquake and had difficulty in finding roads. He was afraid that they couldn’t reach a safe place because of him. He said to Luo, “You go first. Come and save me when you find someone to help us.” “Don’t worry, I’m certain that you will be saved.” Luo said and left.
Three days later, Luo was saved. His first words were, “My workmate was still in danger.” However, when a rescue team arrived at the place, Gan was no longer there. In the next days, they never gave up searching for him.
After hearing of the news about looking for Gan, a local farmer Ni Taigao volunteered to join in the rescue. During the search, he heard Gan’s weak cries for help. He soon saw him lying under the trees. During the past days, Gan depended only on wild fruits and water to survive. The other rescuers arrived, Gan was sent to a nearby hospital.

第Ⅰ卷(选择题)(满分60分)
一、单项选择(每题1分,共15题,共15分)
1. The second Sunday of May is _______ Mother's Day. It's _______ special day for children to show their love for their mothers.
A. a,the B. the,a C. /,a D. /,the
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:五月的第二个星期天是母亲节。今天是孩子们表达对母亲爱的特别日子。
考查冠词。节日前不用任何冠词,可知“母亲节”前使用零冠词;下文泛指任何一个特殊的节日,故用不定冠词,故选C。
【点睛】冠词是虚词,本身不能单独使用,也没有词义,它用在名词的前面,帮助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种:定冠词、不定冠词、零冠词。
(一)不定冠词a(an)与数词one同源,是"一个"的意思,用在可数名词单数前,a用于辅音音素开头的可数名词单数前, an则用于元音音素开头的可数名词单数前。不定冠词可表示泛指,指某类事物中的一个,意思是“一个/只…”,也用于一些固定词组中。例如,He is a teacher.( 某类事物中的一个) an hour(一个…)have a rest(固定词组)。
(二)定冠词的用法:(1)特指某(些)人或某(些)事物。(2)指双方都知道的人或事物,例如:Open the door, please. (3)指上文提到的人或事物。(4)用在世界上独一无二的事物前。例如:The sun is bigger than the moon.太阳比月亮大些。(5)用在序数词和形容词最高级前。例如:The first island is the biggest of the three.第一个小岛是三个中最大的。(6)乐器前用定冠词the,例如,play the guitar:弹吉他。(7)用在形容词前表示一类人,the +形容词指的是一群人,是一种复数含义,所以其后动词应用复数形式。例如:The old are sick.(8)用于一些固定短语中,如the Great Wall:长城;the United States of America:美国。
(三)零冠词的用法 ,就是不用冠词的情况。1) 国名,人名前通常不用定冠词:England, Mary。2) 不可数名词和复数名词表示泛指时,表示一类人或事物时,可不用冠词;They are teachers. 他们是教师。Failure is the mother of success. 失败乃成功之母。3) 在季节、月份、节日、假日、日期、星期等表示时间的名词之前,不加冠词;We go to school from Monday to Friday. 我们从星期一到星期五都上课。4) 在三餐、球类运动和娱乐运动的名称前,不加冠词;如:have breakfast, play chess。5) 当by与火车等交通工具连用,表示一种方式时,中间无冠词;by bus, by train;6) 固定短语,如:go to hospital去医院看病;at home, in class, go to bed等。
2. —I’m a bit forgetful and I’m afraid I will forget the meeting time.
—Don’t be worried. You ________ of the time before it.
A. will remind B. are reminded C. remind D. will be reminded
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我有点健忘,恐怕会忘记开会时间。——别担心。在那之前有人会提醒你时间的。
考查动词时态及语态。根据“I’m afraid I will forget the meeting time”可知,此处表示将来发生的事情,应用一般将来时;根据句子主语“You”与谓语之间为逻辑上的动宾关系可知,此处应用被动语态。故选D。
3. —Mum, I have nothing to do in my spare time but do endless homework.
—My dear, you should ________ a hobby like drawing or taking photos.
A. take up B. make up C. set up D. put up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——妈妈,我在业余时间无事可做,只有无尽的家庭作业。——亲爱的,你应该培养一种爱好,比如画画或拍照。
考查动词短语。take up开始从事;make up编造;set up建立;put up张贴。根据“a hobby like drawing or taking photos.”可知,应该说开始从事一个爱好。故选A。
4. —Dad, how can I learn paper-cutting well?
—________, you need to be patient and practice more.
A. At last B. Since then C. First of all D. By the way
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——爸爸,我怎样才能学好剪纸?——首先,你需要有耐心并且多练习。
根据语境,爸爸在回答如何学好剪纸,需要给出第一条建议。At last用于表示最终结果,Since then用于表示时间起点,By the way用于引入新话题,First of all用于表示顺序的第一点。根据逻辑顺序,提出首要条件应用表示顺序第一的短语。
5. How amazing! China’s space station has ________ labs for different tasks. Each part has its own special job.
A. common B. separate C. familiar D. similar
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:多么令人惊叹啊!中国空间站有用于不同任务的独立实验室。每个部分都有自己特殊的任务。
common共同的/普通的;separate独立的/分开的;familiar熟悉的;similar相似的。根据后句“Each part has its own special job”可知,每个实验室有自己的任务,说明它们是“独立的”,应填separate。
6. Don’t worry. I can _________ the kids when you are out.
A. look after B. look through
C. look at D. look around
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:别担心。你外出时我可以照顾孩子们。
look after照顾;look through浏览;look at看;look around环顾四周。根据“the kids when you are out”可知,此处表示“照顾”孩子,应填look after。
7. —How do you like this comedy?
—I think it’s the most interesting program ______ I have ever watched.
A. who B. when C. that D. which

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program. Because of this, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.
38. Which of the following is an oh-oh?
A. A girl who is good-looking.
B. A girl who is smart.
C. A boy who was born in 1999.
D. A boy who was born in 2004.
39. The oh-ohs are thought of as the “face-down generation” because they ________.
A. use their phones too much B. need to study hard in school
C. are interested in younger friends D. are more creative than their parents
40. What do “helicopter parents” do for their children?
A. They help them to face the challenges.
B. They do the homework instead of them.
C. They guide and plan everything for them.
D. They keep them away from after-school activities.
41. The underlined word “rights” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A. somebody that leads a community B. somebody that looks after teenagers
C. something that people volunteer to do D. something that people are allowed to do
【答案】38. D 39. A 40. C 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了“00 后”(oh-ohs)这一代人的特点,讨论了成年人对他们的看法,同时也指出了这一代人受教育程度更高、更具创造力等优点。

【导语】本文讲述了海狸在捷克政府修建大坝失败后,仅用两天就完成了该项目,为国家节省了资金。文章介绍了海狸筑坝的原因、能力及面临的生存危险,赞扬了海狸的勤劳和智慧。
【51题详解】
句意:令人惊讶的是,如此困难的项目仅在两天内就被海狸完成了!根据上文“the Czech government had planned to build a dam... but failed”和“Amazingly”,此处指项目被完成。project与complete是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态was completed。
【52题详解】
句意:但如果你了解更多关于海狸的知识,你可能不会对这个消息感到惊讶。根据上文海狸两天完成艰难项目并节省资金的事实,以及方框中的词汇,此处需要surprise的形容词在句中做宾语补足语,修饰news。
【53题详解】
句意:为了让它们更结实,海狸还会添加草、石头和湿土。此处表示目的,用动词不定式To make作目的状语,说明海狸添加材料的目的是让堤坝/自身更坚固。
【54题详解】
句意:科学家说这是为了安全。根据上文提出的问题“But why do they build dams?”,此处需要表示“科学家”的主语,对应方框中的science,需变为表示人的复数名词Scientists。
【55题详解】
句意:在陆地上,海狸移动缓慢,它们可能会处于危险之中。根据下文“Their dams create ponds that protect them from other animals like bears.” 可知,海狸在陆地上易受其他动物攻击,处于危险中,in danger意为“处于危险中”,符合语境。

【56题详解】
句意:河狸池塘不仅是这些动物舒适的家园,还会形成支持多种动植物的湿地生态系统。根据句意可知此处指河狸池塘是这些动物它们自己的舒适家园,空处应用反身代词强调这些动物是它们自己,they“它们”,反身代词为themselves。
【57题详解】
句意:这些湿地在暴雨期间储存水分,减少洪水。空格后heavy rains为时间段,需用介词during表示“在…… 期间”,符合“暴雨期间储水”的语境。
【58题详解】

【59题详解】
句意:但人们现在不再驱赶它们,而是找到与它们和平共处的方法。根据句意可知此处表示与它们和平相处,空处应用副词修饰动词live,peace“和平”是名词,副词为peacefully。
【60题详解】
句意:河狸提醒我们,每个生物在自然界中都扮演着重要的角色。句子主语every living thing为单数,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式,play an important role的三单形式为plays an important role,表示 “扮演重要角色”。
五、句型转换(每题1分,共5分)
61. Our city is beautiful. (改为感叹句)
________ ________ our city is!

【解析】
【详解】句意:我们的城市真美丽。本句强调的中心词是形容词“beautiful”,用“How+adj+主谓!”句型,故填How;beautiful。

Let’s go and help the old man to cross the road, ________ ________?

63. 请等待我们的好消息。(完成译句)
Please ______ ______ our good news!
【答案】 ①. wait ②. for
【解析】
【详解】原句中“等待”是关键词,“等待”常见短语表达为“wait for”,这里是祈使句,please后接动词原形,所以空白处应分别填入“wait”和“for”。
64. “Will you please open the window?” she said to him.(将直接引语改为间接引语)
She ________ him ________ open the window.
【答案】 ①. asked ②. to
【解析】
【详解】句意:她对他说:“请你打开窗户好吗?”原句是表示请求的直接引语“Will you please open the window?”,改为间接引语时,需用ask sb. to do sth.结构,表示“要求某人做某事”;句子时态为一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。故填asked;to。
65. There were some tigers in the mountains. (改为否定句)
There ________ ________ tigers in the mountains.
【答案】 ①. weren’t ②. any
【解析】
【详解】句意:山上有一些老虎。变否定句时在were后加not,were not=weren’t,把some改为any。故填weren’t;any。

【答案】例文
Less Stress, Better Life
Nowadays, we teenagers have a lot of stress while growing up. The main reasons for this are heavy schoolwork and high expectations from parents. They hope we can always get good grades, which makes us feel nervous and tired.
To reduce stress, we can ask our teachers for help when we have trouble with our studies. Also, doing sports and listening to music can help us relax. Besides, sharing our worries with friends or family members is another good way.
In my opinion, stress is not always bad because it encourages us to work harder. However, we should learn to deal with it properly and live a happier life.
