A. to fly; such B. flying; so C. to fly; so D. flying; such 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在这么好的天气里放风筝，他玩得真开心啊！ 考查非谓语动词及such和so的辨析。have a good time doing“做某事玩得很高兴”，故第一空用fly的-ing形式flying；such是形容词，修饰名词，so是副词，修饰形容词或者副词，根据“fine weather”可知，第二空用such。故选D。 2. ________ an icon at the bottom of the page and then ________. A. Picking; click it on B. Picking; click on it C. Pick; click it on D. Pick; click on it 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在页面底部选择一个图标，然后单击。 考查祈使句。分析句子可知，本句是祈使句，以动词原形开头，可排除AB选项；click on sth.“点击某物”，on在此是介词，不属于“动词+副词”构成的词组，代词位于on之后。故选D。 3. —He’s not 8 years old, ________? —________. He won’t go to school until next year. A. has he; Yes, he has B. is he; No, he isn’t C. has he; No, he hasn’t D. isn’t he; Yes, he is 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他不是8岁，是吗？——不，他不是。他直到明年才去上学。 首先，He’s 是He is的缩写，be动词对应is，排除含has的选项，提问时前否定后肯定，故为is he；其次，反意疑问句的回答要根据事实，根据“He won’t go to school until next year.”可知他还没到8岁，事实是否定的，所以回答用No, he isn’t。 4. He ________ Wuxi on business for a week and now he is preparing for it. A. has been away from B. has left C. will leave D. will be away from 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他将离开无锡出差一周，现在他正在为此做准备。 考查延续性动词及时态。根据“now he is preparing for it”可知，现在正在准备出差，说明去无锡出差这件事还未发生，应该用一般将来时，排除A、B；根据“for a week”可知，此处应该用延续性动词be away from，leave是非延续性动词，不能与一段时间连用。故选D。 5. The life we have ________ used to ________ a lot now. A. got; changing B. /; has changed C. got; has changed D. /; changing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们习惯的生活现在已经发生了很大的变化。 考查动词时态。get used to sth.“习惯于某事”，“we have...used to”为定语从句，修饰先行词“life”，时态为现在完成时，故第一个空选got；第二个空为主句的谓语动词，强调对现在的影响，用现在完成时态，主语“The life”为单数，故用has changed。故选C。 6. Everyone is here ________ Tom and Lily. They ________ Shanghai. A. besides have been to B. besides; have gone to C. except; have been to D. except; have gone to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：除了汤姆和莉莉，每个人都在这里。他们去了上海。 except表示“除了……（不包括）”；besides表示“除……之外还有（包括）”；have been to意为“去过某地（已回）”，have gone to意为“去了某地（未回）”。根据上下文他们去了上海可知二人不在这里，属于排除情况，故第一空用except；因他们尚未回来，故第二空用have gone to。 7. — I think keeping dogs will not make you feel anxious (焦虑的). —________. In my opinion, dogs sometimes bring you a lot of trouble. A. Not exactly B. Take it easy C. I agree with you D. That’s a good idea 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为养狗不会让你感到焦虑。——不完全是。在我看来，狗有时会给你带来很多麻烦。 Not exactly不完全是；Take it easy别紧张；I agree with you我同意你；That’s a good idea那是个好主意。根据“In my opinion, dogs sometimes bring you a lot of trouble.”可知，回答者不同意对方的观点，认为养狗也会带来麻烦，选项A表示不完全同意，符合语境。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Every day after school, little Joey came to Mr. Dow’s store to look around.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了小乔伊放学后常去道先生店里，被一个烟斗吸引，趁无人时拿起想感受一下，却被道先生发现，乔伊内心挣扎，最终决定归还烟斗并承认错误，道先生原谅了他并邀请他帮忙关店，乔伊感觉肩膀变得更宽更壮了的故事。 【8题详解】 句意：有一个烟斗尤其吸引了他的目光。 根据“He loved to look at the pipes (烟斗). One pipe especially caught his...”可知，乔伊喜欢看烟斗，有一个烟斗吸引了他的目光，“catch one’s eye”表示“吸引某人的目光”，eye“眼睛”符合语境。hand“手”、ear“耳朵”、mouth“嘴”均与“吸引目光”这一语境不符。 【9题详解】 句意：他想象着有一天自己会成为一个成熟的男人。 根据“could smoke a pipe, just like this one”以及后文“You are a little man now, Joey.”可知，乔伊想象自己成为一个成熟的男人抽烟斗，grown“成熟的”符合语境。brave“勇敢的”、rich“富有的”、strong“强壮的”均不能准确表达此处乔伊对长大后状态的想象。 【10题详解】 句意：周围没人看。 根据“He just wanted to get the feel of it.”以及“Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him.”可知，乔伊想感受烟斗时周围没人，nobody“没人”符合语境。somebody“某人”、anybody“任何人”、everybody“每个人”均不符合此处语境。 【11题详解】 句意：他迅速转过身。 根据“Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him.”可知，乔伊听到身后有脚步声，所以迅速转过身，turn around“转身”符合语境。run away“逃跑”、look up“查阅；抬头看”、fall over“摔倒”均不符合听到脚步声后的反应。 【12题详解】 句意：乔伊挣扎着回答，但当道先生走开时，他只是虚弱地笑了笑。 根据“Joey struggled (挣扎) to answer”可知，乔伊内心挣扎，所以只是虚弱地笑了笑，weakly“虚弱地”符合语境。happily“开心地”、loudly“大声地”、excitedly“兴奋地”均不能体现乔伊此时的状态。 【13题详解】 句意：乔伊的想法变得不清晰了。 根据“Did Mr. Dow see the pipe in his hand? Was he suspicious (猜疑的)?”可知，乔伊心里有很多疑问，想法变得不清晰，unclear“不清晰的”符合语境。unlucky“不幸的”、unkind“不友善的”、unnecessary“不必要的”均与乔伊此时的想法状态无关。 【14题详解】 句意：突然商店看起来非常小。 根据后文“He watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store.”可知他走出商店，说明此时觉得商店小，small“小的”符合，magical“有魔力的”、wet“湿的”、warm“温暖的”均不符合。 【15题详解】 句意：乔伊想知道道先生是否已经叫了警察。 根据“Perhaps the police were waiting for him at home.”可知，乔伊担心道先生叫了警察，call“打电话；呼叫”符合语境。find“发现”、interview“采访”、notice“注意到”均不符合此处语境。 【16题详解】 句意：他可以说自己没有拿烟斗。 根据“No one had seen him do it. Still he himself would know that he did.”可知，乔伊在想自己可以否认拿了烟斗，take“拿”符合语境。buy“买”、afford“买得起”、see“看见”均不符合此处语境。 【17题详解】 句意：他记起她说过的话：“乔伊，你现在是个小大人了。” 根据“Thinking of it made him...”可知，乔伊记起了妈妈说的话，remember“记得”符合语境。enjoy“享受”、forget“忘记”、describe“描述”均不符合此处语境。 【18题详解】 句意：想到这些让他很伤心。 根据“A hot tear ran down his cheek.”以及“She trusted me”可知，乔伊想到妈妈信任自己而自己却做了错事，感到很伤心，sad“伤心的”符合语境。polite“礼貌的”、relaxed“放松的”、serious“严肃的”均不符合乔伊此时的心情。 【19题详解】 句意：烟斗和他成长的梦想毫无意义。 根据前文乔伊想象自己长大后抽烟斗可知，烟斗代表着他成长的梦想，dreams“梦想”符合语境。decisions“决定”、hobbies“爱好”、problems“问题”均不符合此处语境。 【20题详解】 句意：当他到达商店时，道先生就在门里面。 根据“Mr. Dow was just inside the door.”可知，乔伊到达了商店，reach“到达”符合语境。search“搜索”、open“打开”、break“打破”均不符合此处语境。 【21题详解】 句意：“道先生，”他说，“我不是有意拿它的。” 根据“I didn’t...to take it.”可知，乔伊想表达自己不是有意拿烟斗的，mean to do sth.“有意做某事”符合语境。fail“失败”、decide“决定”、remember“记得”均不符合此处语境。 【22题详解】 句意：“谢谢，乔伊。”道先生温和地说。 根据“How about staying around and helping me close up shop?”可知，道先生原谅了乔伊并邀请他帮忙，说明道先生说话很温和，gently“温和地”符合语境。equally“平等地”、angrily“生气地”、easily“容易地”均不符合道先生此时的态度。 四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Medicine Label (标签) Patient: Phillip J.

When you sit down and begin to eat a tomato, suddenly, the tomato starts to scream! Of course, this thing would never really happen. But a new study shows that plants make sounds when they are in pain. Scientists in Israel has done the study. They use ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. Scientists listen to three groups of plants. The first two groups make sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only makes the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not in pain at all, they are very quiet” Lilach Hadany from the study team tells readers. The highest sound humans can hear is about 16 kilohertz (干赫兹). The plants sounds are too high for us to hear (about 40-80 kilohertz). Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is in pain and not good for laying eggs on. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. Scientists also listen to other plants such as wheat and corn. They also make more sounds when they are in pain. Scientists say the study can help farmers in the future. They can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel. 26. Tomatoes may make sounds more often if we _________. A. put them in the sun B. water them when needed C. cut off parts of them D. plant them at the right time 27. Paragraph 3 talks about _________. A. where scientists do the study B. why plants make sounds C. when scientists begin the study D. who listens to these sounds 28. The study can help farmers _________. A. look after plants better B. keep safe when planting C. keep crops away from animals D. get more fun in the fields 29. Which is the best title for the text? A. Scientists studying in fields B. Plants crying in pain C. Animals talking with plants D. Farmers planting with science 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. A 29.

They can better take care of the crops by ‘hearing’ how plants feel.”可知，这项研究可以更好地帮助农民照顾农作物。故选A。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。根据通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项新研究，植物在疼痛时会发出声音。故选B。 C Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on island, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted houses.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright. “Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said: “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something. “What is it?” asked the other man. “It’s box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box. “There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe. “The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner. “They must have hidden their money here.” “What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury(埋) it again?” “No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.” Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to down and find out where the number two den was. 30. Who does the underlined word “He” refer to? A. Tom. B. Huck. C. Indian Joe. D. The dirty man. 31. Where was the bag of money probably from? A. The two men robbed others of it. B. Some villager hid it there. C. The owner of the house left it there. D.

Tom and Huck went to look for treasure one day. d. Indian Joe found a box full of gold coins. e. The Murrell Gang hid their money in the house. A. c a b d e B. c d b e a C. e c a d b D. e c a b d 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. The real treasure was $650 in the bag. B. The man in the sombrero was Indian Joe. C. Tom would join Indian Joe and be a robber. D. Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure. 【答案】30. C 31. A 32. D 33. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了汤姆和哈克的寻宝经历。 【30题详解】 题意：画线单词“He”指的是？ 推理判断题。根据原文Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said可知，人称代词He此处指代的是上一句提到的Indian Joe。C选项Indian Joe符合题意，故选C。 【31题详解】 题意：那包钱可能是从哪来的？ 细节理解题。根据原文What will we do with the $650 from the robbery? … Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins可知，那包钱可能是抢来的。A选项The two men robbed others of it“那两个人抢了别人的钱”符合题意，故选A。 【32题详解】 题意：故事发生的顺序是什么？ 细节理解题。通读全文可知，故事里各个情节的发生顺序是：默雷尔帮会把钱藏在房子里→有一天汤姆和哈克去寻宝→那两个男孩把工具扔在一个角落里→那个脏兮兮的人拿出一个装满钱的袋子→印第安人乔发现了一个装满金币的箱子。D选项e c a b d符合题意，故选D。 【33题详解】 题意：从本文我们能推断出什么？ 推理判断题。根据本文最后三段可知，印第安人乔打算把一箱金币藏到另一个地方，两个男孩子决定跟踪他并找出这箱金币新的埋藏位置。D选项Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure“汤姆和哈克会设法得到宝藏”符合题意，故选D。 D A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (代，辈). China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment. The Chinese government is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting (分类) systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are developing the habit of separating their waste. 34. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. telling stories B. making comparisons (比较) C. raising questions D. giving suggestions 35. The underlined word “sustainable” in Paragraph 2 means “________” in Chinese. A. 可享受的 B. 可持续的 C. 可借鉴的 D. 可复活的 36. From the last three paragraphs, we can learn that ________. A. China has stopped 24 kinds of waste entering our country for years B. all the people are forming the habit of separating waste in China C. no harmful gases or water will be able to get into the environment D. China is paying more and more attention to the waste at present 37. The structure of the passage may be ________. A. B. C. D. 【答案】34. C 35. B 36. D 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国城市垃圾的产生、处理现状，包括垃圾的危害、中国对垃圾问题的重视、垃圾的再利用以及垃圾分类等措施。 【34题详解】 第一段提到“A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?”，作者通过提出一系列关于垃圾去向和处理方式是否合适的问题来开启文章。 【35题详解】 第二段提到“It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (代，辈).”，结合语境可知，不能以牺牲环境为代价来赚钱，要给子孙后代留下清洁的水和青山，说明这种发展不能破坏环境，要能持续下去，“sustainable”意思是“可持续的”。 【36题详解】 第四段提到“From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made.”，不是停止多年，A选项错误；第六段提到“More and more people are developing the habit of separating their waste.”，不是所有人都有垃圾分类的习惯，B选项错误；第五段提到“No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.”是在说垃圾发电厂这种绿色方式下，不是所有情况都没有有害气体和水进入环境，C选项错误；第三段提到“China is getting really serious about waste now.”，结合后文中国采取的一系列措施，可知中国目前越来越重视垃圾问题，D选项正确。 【37题详解】 第一段提出关于垃圾的问题；第二段阐述垃圾的危害；第三段表明中国现在对垃圾问题很重视；第四、五、六段分别从减少国外垃圾输入、垃圾再利用、垃圾分类等方面具体说明中国对垃圾问题的重视和采取的措施。所以文章结构是P1/P2/P3/P4P5P6。 五、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you want to invite friends to a party, you’d better send them invitations. ____38____ Here are some ways of inviting friends to your party.

Have you ever ________ (写) a letter to your parents? 【答案】written 【解析】 【详解】句意：你曾给父母写过信吗？根据汉语提示可知，write意为“写”，动词；根据“Have you ever...”可知，本句时态为现在完成时，其结构为has/have+done，write的过去分词为written。故填written。 44. Taiwan ________ (岛屿) is in the southeast of China. 【答案】Island 【解析】 【详解】句意：台湾岛在中国的东南部。根据中文提示可知，“岛屿”对应的英文是island，在句中表示特指“台湾岛”，首字母需大写，即Island ，此处作主语。 45. ChatGPT shows us a new way to ________ (交流) with others. 【答案】communicate 【解析】 【详解】句意：ChatGPT向我们展示了一种与他人交流的新方式。根据汉语提示可知，communicate“交流”，动词；空前有不定式符号to，其后动词用原形。 46. Strangely, sometimes technology makes people feel even ________ (孤独). 【答案】lonelier 【解析】 【详解】句意：奇怪的是，有时候科技甚至会让人们感觉更孤独。根据汉语提示“孤独”可知，此空需填“lonely”；“feel”是系动词，后接形容词作表语；“lonely”意为“孤独的”，是形容词，符合语法规则；又由“even”常用来修饰比较级，强调程度上的进一步加深，故“lonely”要用比较级形式“lonelier”。故填lonelier。 47. How comfortable the wind f________! It’s soft and warm. 【答案】feels##eels 【解析】 【详解】句意：这风吹起来真舒服啊！它又轻柔又温暖。句中“How comfortable”表明此处是在描述风给人的感受，“the wind”是主语，后面缺少谓语动词，结合语境及首字母为f可知，应是表达风“感觉”起来很舒服，feel“感觉”，符合语境，且主语“the wind”是第三人称单数，句子是一般现在时，所以feel要用第三人称单数形式feels。 48. The piano is in good c________. You needn’t buy a new one. 【答案】(c)ondition 【解析】 【详解】句意：这架钢琴状况良好。你不需要买新的。根据“You needn’t buy a new one.”和首字母可知，此处表示钢琴状况良好，be in good condition意为“完好无误”，故填(c)ondition。 49. Tom’s brother will take a direct f________ to Shanghai tomorrow. 【答案】(f)light 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆的兄弟明天将乘直达航班去上海。根据“Tom’s brother will take a direct ... to Shanghai tomorrow.”及首字母可知，此处表示去上海的直飞航班，take a direct flight“乘坐直达航班”，故填(f)light。 50. The water is cold, but the little boy will swim in the river a________. 【答案】(a)nyway 【解析】 【详解】句意：水很冷，但小男孩无论如何都要在河里游泳。根据“The water is cold, but the little boy will swim in the river…”的语境并结合首字母提示可知，此处句意发生了转折，指水很冷，但小男孩无论如何都要在河里游泳，anyway“无论如何；即使这样”符合。故填(a)nyway。 七、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，在横线上填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, surprised the whole world on Wednesday when he said that the opening part of his speech was written by ChatGPT, an AI - artificial intelligence (人工智能) chat model.

For example, ChatGPT can be developed to teach workers in factories, resulting in too many human trainers. Also, as time goes on, maybe today or in the coming ten years, those computer engineers will not be needed if they only know ____60____ to use a computer. 【答案】51. as 52. first 53. companies 54. people’s 55. impossible 56. has had 57. on 58. to speak 59. However 60. how 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了以色列总统使用人工智能ChatGPT写演讲稿的事情，介绍了ChatGPT的功能、发展情况以及它可能带来的风险。 【51题详解】 句意：以色列以计算机科学而越来越出名，其首都特拉维夫作为国际高科技城市而闻名。“be famous as”是固定短语，意为“作为……而闻名”，所以这里填as。 【52题详解】 句意：所以以色列总统成为第一位使用人工智能帮助撰写演讲稿的世界领导人也就不足为奇了。根据语境可知，这里表示“第一位”，用序数词first。 【53题详解】 句意：这种新的人工智能聊天模型是由美国人工智能公司之一OpenAI创建的。“one of the + 名词复数”表示“……之一”，所以这里用company的复数形式companies。 【54题详解】 句意：ChatGPT现在可以回答问题，检查人们的错误并拒绝不恰当的问题。“mistakes”是名词，前面要用名词所有格修饰，“people”的名词所有格是people’s。 【55题详解】 句意：ChatGPT现在可以回答问题，检查人们的错误并拒绝不恰当的问题，这在过去是不可能的。根据语境可知，以前这些功能是不可能的，用possible的反义词impossible。 【56题详解】 句意：自2022年11月30日推出以来，这种新的聊天模型已经拥有超过100万粉丝。“since”表示“自从”，常与现在完成时连用，主语“The new chat model”是第三人称单数，所以用has had。 【57题详解】 句意：自2022年11月30日推出以来，这种新的聊天模型已经拥有超过100万粉丝。在具体的某一天前用介词on，这里“November 30, 2022”是具体日期，所以填on。 【58题详解】 句意：它能够像人类一样说话和思考，帮助人们完成不同的任务，比如写文章、制定商业计划、整理诗歌，甚至以B或B-的成绩通过学校MBA项目的期末考试。“be able to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“能够做某事”，所以填to speak。 【59题详解】 句意：然而，像ChatGPT这样的工具确实带来了工人失业的真正风险。前文介绍了ChatGPT的优点，这里说它带来工人失业的风险，前后是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以用However。 【60题详解】 句意：此外，随着时间的推移，也许在今天或未来十年，如果那些计算机工程师只知道如何使用计算机，他们可能就不需要了。根据语境可知，这里表示“如何使用计算机”，用how。 八、书面表达（共1题;满分25分） 61. 又到了春暖花开时，苏州欢迎来自世界各地的游客来苏做客。你很荣幸当选为“君到姑苏见”栏目的英语小导游，请你根据下列要点用英语向游客们做一个有关苏州的介绍。 简介 位于江苏省东南部，历史名城，因园林和丝绸闻名世界。 环境 气候宜人，依山傍水；环境好，污染少。 交通 过去：…… 现在：地铁已经投入使用十多年了。 出游 …… (介绍一处体现苏州古典或现代特色的景点) 建议 比如 (最佳旅游时间、特色纪念品、推荐的美食……) 要求: 1. 必须包含所有信息，并作适当发挥； 2. 字数在110字左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）； 3. 不得使用真实姓名和校名等。 纪念品souvenir Hello everyone, welcome to Suzhou.

When you sit down and begin to eat a tomato, suddenly, the tomato starts to scream! Of course, this thing would never really happen. But a new study shows that plants make sounds when they are in pain. Scientists in Israel has done the study. They use ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. Scientists listen to three groups of plants. The first two groups make sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only makes the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not in pain at all, they are very quiet” Lilach Hadany from the study team tells readers. The highest sound humans can hear is about 16 kilohertz (干赫兹). The plants sounds are too high for us to hear (about 40-80 kilohertz). Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is in pain and not good for laying eggs on. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. Scientists also listen to other plants such as wheat and corn. They also make more sounds when they are in pain. Scientists say the study can help farmers in the future. They can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel. 26. Tomatoes may make sounds more often if we _________. A. put them in the sun B. water them when needed C. cut off parts of them D. plant them at the right time 27. Paragraph 3 talks about _________. A. where scientists do the study B. why plants make sounds C. when scientists begin the study D. who listens to these sounds 28. The study can help farmers _________. A. look after plants better B. keep safe when planting C. keep crops away from animals D. get more fun in the fields 29. Which is the best title for the text? A. Scientists studying in fields B. Plants crying in pain C. Animals talking with plants D. Farmers planting with science C Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on island, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted houses.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright. “Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said: “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something. “What is it?” asked the other man. “It’s box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box. “There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe. “The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner. “They must have hidden their money here.” “What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury(埋) it again?” “No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.” Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to down and find out where the number two den was. 30. Who does the underlined word “He” refer to? A. Tom. B. Huck. C. Indian Joe. D. The dirty man. 31. Where was the bag of money probably from? A. The two men robbed others of it. B. Some villager hid it there. C. The owner of the house left it there. D.

Tom and Huck went to look for treasure one day. d. Indian Joe found a box full of gold coins. e. The Murrell Gang hid their money in the house. A. c a b d e B. c d b e a C. e c a d b D. e c a b d 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. The real treasure was $650 in the bag. B. The man in the sombrero was Indian Joe. C. Tom would join Indian Joe and be a robber. D. Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure. D A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (代，辈). China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment. The Chinese government is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting (分类) systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are developing the habit of separating their waste. 34. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. telling stories B. making comparisons (比较) C. raising questions D. giving suggestions 35. The underlined word “sustainable” in Paragraph 2 means “________” in Chinese. A. 可享受的 B. 可持续的 C. 可借鉴的 D. 可复活的 36. From the last three paragraphs, we can learn that ________. A. China has stopped 24 kinds of waste entering our country for years B. all the people are forming the habit of separating waste in China C. no harmful gases or water will be able to get into the environment D. China is paying more and more attention to the waste at present 37. The structure of the passage may be ________. A. B. C.
