It was successful with a large number of people stopping by. Ethan got the idea for his “praise stand” from characters in a book. Those characters had an unkind word stand, but Ethan thought, “That doesn’t feel right. I can make a better stand—one for praise instead!” Ethan wasn’t the only kid with a roadside stand nearby. His twin sister Claire ran her own stand, selling drawings she made. “I think it is a good way to show people my art, and honestly, it is just fun making them,” Claire said. Ethan’s praise service was free, but some people left money. One customer even stopped by the stand four times! This winter holiday, Ethan and Claire had a small goal: saving up for a small fridge. After days of running their stands, they did it. Their dad, Brandon, was proud of them. “They set up the stands all by themselves. It’s such a cute, special idea and it’s so heart-warming,” he said. Brandon added that he tried to teach his kids about how to understand and care for others. “Of course, book learning is important, but knowing your own feelings and caring about others’ feelings are what make life successful. It’s great to see these qualities in them.” Ethan’s praise stand didn’t just help him and Claire reach their goal of buying a small fridge. It also spread joy around the neighborhood. For the two kids who turned simple ideas into joy and success, this winter holiday is surely one to be remembered. 31. Where did Ethan get the idea for the stand? A. From his twin sister. B.

This was also the hope of Jiang Yu’s parents. However, to their surprise, after finishing college and experiencing the busy city life, Jiang chose to return to his hometown. Jiang grew up in a village by the sea in Xiapu County, Fujian Province. Xiapu is a place full of natural beauty. There are valuable resources waiting to be developed. For example, there are beautiful beaches and islands, which are good for developing island tourism (旅游业). Seeing the chance in tourism, Jiang and two of his friends set up a travel company in Xiapu in 2018. They designed different travel plans for different visitors according to their needs. From tailored tours to educational group activities, Jiang has tried his best to develop his hometown’s tourism. Jiang’s hard work paid off. Now, Xiapu has become a popular tourist place. Recently, it received over 11 million visitors. Tourism brought over 11.8 billion yuan to the county. Also, there are more than 600 small family hotels across the county, providing nearly 20,000 jobs for local people. Jiang is happy to see the great changes in his hometown. “Love for one’s hometown isn’t just a feeling. It needs action,” he said.

The earliest report of unusual animal actions before a big earthquake was from Greece in 373 BC. Rats and weasels (黄鼠狼) left their homes and went to safe places several days before a strong earthquake. On February 4, 1975, Chinese officers told people in Haicheng, Liaoning to leave their houses and stay outdoors. They thought a disaster was coming, partly because of animals’ strange actions. For example, many toads (蟾蜍) appeared in the streets and sleeping snakes came out of the ground. Hours later, a big and strong earthquake hit the city. Another example happened in December 2004 in a national park in Sri Lanka. The animals felt something wrong that day. Birds flew away for no reason, and elephants ran to higher ground. Minutes later, a huge earthquake happened under the sea. However, scientists say that although animals act strangely before earthquakes, this does not mean they can predict disasters. It could just be a natural answer. All animals have the ability to stay away from danger. So how do they do it? Animals have very good senses. They can find small environmental changes we do not notice. Some have strong hearing or smell; others can notice changes in atmospheric (大气的) pressure. For example, fish can feel changes in water pressure, so they may jump out of water or swim in strange ways before an earthquake. Although scientists do not agree on animals’ special ability, it is good to pay more attention to the animals around you. 41. Why did officers in Haicheng ask people to stay outdoors? A. To catch the snakes and toads in the streets. B. To keep away from the possible disaster. C. To enjoy the warm winter sun. D. To watch animals’ unusual activities. 42. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 3? A. Animals’ strange actions helped save people. B. Toads are the sign of big earthquakes. C. Snakes usually sleep before earthquakes. D. The officers knew nothing before the earthquake. 43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to (指代)? A. Fish jump out of water. B. People notice small changes. C. Animals act strangely before earthquakes. D. Scientists study earthquakes. 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 6? A. Animals can find some small environmental changes that people can’t notice. B. All animals have the same strong hearing and smell. C. Fish can know the time of an earthquake exactly. D. People can feel changes in atmospheric pressure easily. 45. What is the main idea of the text? A. We must keep animals away before earthquakes. B. All animals have the same strong senses. C. Scientists agree on animals’ ability to predict disasters. D. Animals may feel earthquakes before humans. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了动物在地震前可能表现出异常行为的历史事例，分析了动物能够感知环境变化的原因，并指出科学家对此尚未达成共识，但提醒人们关注身边的动物。 【41题详解】 由第三段“They thought a disaster was coming, partly because of animals’ strange actions…Hours later, a big and strong earthquake hit the city”可知，海城官员让人们待在户外是为了远离可能发生的灾难。 【42题详解】 由第三段“Chinese officers told people to leave their houses... partly because of animals’ strange actions... Hours later, a big and strong earthquake hit the city”可知，动物们的异常行为帮助人们提前疏散，从而挽救了生命。 【43题详解】 由第五段“although animals act strangely before earthquakes, this does not mean they can predict disasters. It could just be a natural answer”可知，“It”指代的是“动物在地震前行为异常”这一现象。 【44题详解】 由第六段“Animals have very good senses. They can find small environmental changes we do not notice”可知，动物能察觉到人们注意不到的微小环境变化。 【45题详解】 全文通过多个事例说明动物在地震前会表现出异常行为，并解释了它们可能通过敏锐的感官感知到环境变化，因此主旨是“动物可能比人类先感知到地震”。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) E Many people think saving money is boring, but it can be really exciting.

Saving can make your dreams come true. D. Saving doesn’t mean giving up everything. E. This gives them a chance to get interest. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. E 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了存钱的乐趣和方法，包括存钱实现梦想、设定明确目标以及了解银行利息等。 【46题详解】 前文提到存钱能帮助我们实现更大的梦想，后文举例说明无论是特别旅行、酷炫自行车还是学习新技能，存钱都能让它们成真，此处需要概括存钱能让梦想成真。选项C“Saving can make your dreams come true”点明存钱能让你的梦想成真，作为本段主题句总领后文。 【47题详解】 前文建议设定短期和长期目标，例如想买电脑或智能手表并为之存钱数周，后文指出计算每周能存多少以及达到目标需要多长时间，此处需要说明写下物品的价格。选项B“Write down how much it costs”点明写下它的价格，与前后文衔接自然。 【48题详解】 后文提到大多数人在银行存钱，以及银行支付利息作为回报，此处需要概括本段主题。选项A“Discover ways of saving”点明发现存钱的方法，作为小标题总领后文关于银行存款的介绍。 【49题详解】 前文提到大多数人在银行存钱，后文解释利息是银行付给你的回报，此处需要说明这给了他们获得利息的机会。选项E“This gives them a chance to get interest”点明这给了他们获得利息的机会，与前后文逻辑连贯。 【50题详解】 后文提到存钱意味着明智消费和为未来规划，而不是放弃一切，此处需要强调存钱并不意味着放弃一切。选项D“Saving doesn’t mean giving up everything”点明存钱并不意味着放弃一切，作为总结性语句与后文内容一致。 Ⅴ.情景交际(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。 51. A: I hear the heavy rain will last until tomorrow afternoon. B: ________________________________________________________! 【答案】That’s awful! 【解析】 【详解】A句“I hear the heavy rain will last until tomorrow afternoon.”表达了大雨将持续到明天下午的消息，回应这类消息时常用“That’s awful!”表示糟糕、令人不快，符合语境与交际逻辑。 52. A: Will you pay the bill by credit card or your phone? B: ________________________________________________________. 【答案】Credit card/My phone 【解析】 【详解】这是一个选择疑问句，A询问B是用信用卡还是手机来付账单，回答可以选择其中一种方式，所以“Credit card.”和“My phone.”这两种回答都符合语境。 53. A: ____________________________ pocket money can you save every month? B: About one hundred yuan. 【答案】How much 【解析】 【详解】答句“About one hundred yuan.”是对数量（金额）的回答，询问不可数名词（pocket money）的数量需用“How much”。 54. A: ________________________________________________________? B: He changed his plan because of the thunderstorm. 【答案】Why did he change his plan 【解析】 【详解】答句“He changed his plan because of the thunderstorm.”回答了改变计划的原因，问句应该询问为什么改变计划，所以Why did he change his plan符合语境。 55. A: ________________________________________________________? B: I’d like tomatoes with eggs, one pancake and some porridge. 【答案】What would you like to have/What would you like to eat 【解析】 【详解】答句列举的是一顿饭的具体食物 (西红柿炒鸡蛋、煎饼、粥)，因此问句应该询问对方“想要吃什么”。常用句型为“What would you like...?”，后面可以用“to eat”或“to have”来补全，故问句可以是“What would you like to eat?”或“What would you like to have?”。 Ⅵ.看图写话(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. prefer _______________________________________________________________ 57. should _______________________________________________________________ 58. carefully, than _______________________________________________________________ 59. tomorrow afternoon _______________________________________________________________ 60. if _______________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. The boy prefers a bowl of rice. 57. We should stay away from the dangerous building. 58. The girl does her homework more carefully than the boy. 59. There will be disaster prevention training on the playground tomorrow afternoon. 60. If I have pocket money, I will save it in my piggy bank. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片男孩吃饭的情景和提示词prefer，本题要表达：这个男孩更喜欢一碗米饭。时态为一般现在时；主语the boy是第三人称单数，所以prefer变为prefers；固定搭配prefer sth.表示“更喜欢某物”。 【57题详解】 根据图片开裂危险的危楼和提示词should，本题要表达：我们应该远离危险的建筑物。should是情态动词，后接动词原形；固定短语stay away from意为“远离”，用于给出安全劝告。 【58题详解】 根据女孩比男孩写作业更认真的画面和提示词carefully, than，本题要表达：女孩做作业比男孩更认真。than是比较级标志；carefully是多音节副词，比较级为more carefully；时态为一般现在时，主语为三单，动词用does。 【59题详解】 根据校园防灾演练的图片和提示词tomorrow afternoon，本题要表达：明天下午操场上将会有一场防灾演练。时间状语tomorrow afternoon表示将来，用一般将来时；there be句型的将来结构为There will be。 【60题详解】 根据零花钱、存钱罐的图片和提示词if，本题要表达：如果我有零花钱，我就会把它存进小猪存钱罐。本题考查if 引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现规则：从句用一般现在时（have），主句用一般将来时（will save）。 Ⅶ.短文填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Nowadays people use money every day.

Paying 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了货币的历史与发展，从物物交换到现代电子支付的演变过程。 【61题详解】 句意：金钱在我们的社会和生活当中非常重要。该处需填一个名词，放在形容词性物主代词our的后面，social的名词形式是society，符合“在社会和生活中”的语境。 【62题详解】 句意：但事实上，很少有人了解货币的历史。该处修饰整个句子，需要副词，actual的副词形式为actually。 【63题详解】 句意：随着时间的推移，人们学会了种植植物和饲养动物。本文讲述过去的历史，用一般过去时，pass的过去式为passed，as time passed是固定表达“随着时间的推移”。 【64题详解】 句意：有时，家庭生产的东西超出了他们的需求，所以他们开始把多余的东西卖给其他人。动词sell后接人称代词宾格作宾语，they的宾格是them，指代前文生产的多余物品。 【65题详解】 句意：后来，人们开始使用货币，但并不是我们今天所使用的这种货币。前文说人们开始使用钱，后文说不是我们如今使用的钱币，前后是转折关系，填连词but。 【66题详解】 句意：公元前600年左右，人们开始使用硬币作为货币。此处是固定搭配use sth as sth，意为“把某物用作某物”，表示将硬币当作钱使用，填as。 【67题详解】 句意：它们便于携带。此处隐含和早期笨重的货币形式对比，硬币更容易携带，用easy的比较级easier，符合语境。 【68题详解】 句意：中国人是最早使用纸币的，可能最早在10世纪末就开始使用了。序数词first前需要加定冠词the，the first to do sth表示“第一个做某事的”，符合语法规则。 【69题详解】 句意：意大利旅行家马可·波罗在13世纪访问中国时，向外国人讲述了中国的纸币。foreigner是可数名词，此处表示泛指多个外国人，用复数形式foreigners。 【70题详解】 句意：用卡或手机支付比携带大量现金更容易、更安全。空格处在句中作主语，需要用pay的动名词形式Paying，句首首字母需大写。 Ⅷ.书面表达(满分15分) 71. 假定你是某校学生李华，近日你校开展了以“在地震中如何保护自己”为主题的征文活动。请你结合以下提示，用英语写一篇短文，分享你的建议及感受。词数80左右。 In the classroom calm down, follow the teacher’s guidance (引导) stay under our desks with our schoolbags on our heads mustn’t jump out of...

It was successful with a large number of people stopping by. Ethan got the idea for his “praise stand” from characters in a book. Those characters had an unkind word stand, but Ethan thought, “That doesn’t feel right. I can make a better stand—one for praise instead!” Ethan wasn’t the only kid with a roadside stand nearby. His twin sister Claire ran her own stand, selling drawings she made. “I think it is a good way to show people my art, and honestly, it is just fun making them,” Claire said. Ethan’s praise service was free, but some people left money. One customer even stopped by the stand four times! This winter holiday, Ethan and Claire had a small goal: saving up for a small fridge. After days of running their stands, they did it. Their dad, Brandon, was proud of them. “They set up the stands all by themselves. It’s such a cute, special idea and it’s so heart-warming,” he said. Brandon added that he tried to teach his kids about how to understand and care for others. “Of course, book learning is important, but knowing your own feelings and caring about others’ feelings are what make life successful. It’s great to see these qualities in them.” Ethan’s praise stand didn’t just help him and Claire reach their goal of buying a small fridge. It also spread joy around the neighborhood. For the two kids who turned simple ideas into joy and success, this winter holiday is surely one to be remembered. 31. Where did Ethan get the idea for the stand? A. From his twin sister. B. From a book. C. From his father’s talk. D. From his neighbors. 32. Why did Claire run her own stand? A. To show her art and have fun. B. To help her brother work. C. To sell many cheap books. D.

What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Reading books can bring good ideas. B. Small kind acts can spread great joy. C. Making money needs good plans. D. Summer is the best time to start business. C In the eyes of many parents, a college degree can lead their children to a completely new and better life. This was also the hope of Jiang Yu’s parents. However, to their surprise, after finishing college and experiencing the busy city life, Jiang chose to return to his hometown. Jiang grew up in a village by the sea in Xiapu County, Fujian Province. Xiapu is a place full of natural beauty. There are valuable resources waiting to be developed. For example, there are beautiful beaches and islands, which are good for developing island tourism (旅游业). Seeing the chance in tourism, Jiang and two of his friends set up a travel company in Xiapu in 2018. They designed different travel plans for different visitors according to their needs. From tailored tours to educational group activities, Jiang has tried his best to develop his hometown’s tourism. Jiang’s hard work paid off. Now, Xiapu has become a popular tourist place. Recently, it received over 11 million visitors. Tourism brought over 11.8 billion yuan to the county. Also, there are more than 600 small family hotels across the county, providing nearly 20,000 jobs for local people. Jiang is happy to see the great changes in his hometown. “Love for one’s hometown isn’t just a feeling. It needs action,” he said. He hopes more young people from Xiapu will return and do their best to develop their hometown. 36. Why did Jiang Yu return to his hometown after college? A. He wanted to live a quiet life. B. He wanted to develop his hometown’s tourism. C. He hoped to take care of his parents. D. He planned to build his own house. 37. Who set up the travel company with Jiang Yu? A. His teachers. B. Some old villagers. C. His two friends. D. Some foreign visitors. 38. What does the underlined word “tailored” probably mean in Chinese? A. 简单的 B. 定制的 C. 廉价的 D. 传统的 39. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Xiapu is now popular with many visitors. B. Many foreign visitors come to work in small family hotels. C. Jiang opened over 600 small family hotels. D. Tourism brings little help to the county. 40. What is the best title for the text? A. A Young Man’s Love for His Hometown B. Beautiful Beaches and Islands in Xiapu C. How to Start a Successful Travel Company D. Different Kinds of Educational Activities D It may sound hard to believe that animals can predict earthquakes, but many facts seem to support this idea. The earliest report of unusual animal actions before a big earthquake was from Greece in 373 BC. Rats and weasels (黄鼠狼) left their homes and went to safe places several days before a strong earthquake. On February 4, 1975, Chinese officers told people in Haicheng, Liaoning to leave their houses and stay outdoors. They thought a disaster was coming, partly because of animals’ strange actions. For example, many toads (蟾蜍) appeared in the streets and sleeping snakes came out of the ground. Hours later, a big and strong earthquake hit the city. Another example happened in December 2004 in a national park in Sri Lanka. The animals felt something wrong that day. Birds flew away for no reason, and elephants ran to higher ground. Minutes later, a huge earthquake happened under the sea. However, scientists say that although animals act strangely before earthquakes, this does not mean they can predict disasters. It could just be a natural answer. All animals have the ability to stay away from danger. So how do they do it? Animals have very good senses. They can find small environmental changes we do not notice. Some have strong hearing or smell; others can notice changes in atmospheric (大气的) pressure. For example, fish can feel changes in water pressure, so they may jump out of water or swim in strange ways before an earthquake. Although scientists do not agree on animals’ special ability, it is good to pay more attention to the animals around you. 41. Why did officers in Haicheng ask people to stay outdoors? A. To catch the snakes and toads in the streets. B. To keep away from the possible disaster. C. To enjoy the warm winter sun. D. To watch animals’ unusual activities. 42. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 3? A. Animals’ strange actions helped save people. B. Toads are the sign of big earthquakes. C. Snakes usually sleep before earthquakes. D. The officers knew nothing before the earthquake. 43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to (指代)? A. Fish jump out of water. B. People notice small changes. C. Animals act strangely before earthquakes. D. Scientists study earthquakes. 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 6? A. Animals can find some small environmental changes that people can’t notice. B. All animals have the same strong hearing and smell. C. Fish can know the time of an earthquake exactly. D. People can feel changes in atmospheric pressure easily. 45. What is the main idea of the text? A. We must keep animals away before earthquakes. B. All animals have the same strong senses. C. Scientists agree on animals’ ability to predict disasters. D. Animals may feel earthquakes before humans. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) E Many people think saving money is boring, but it can be really exciting.
