The first thing they did was to teach me their language. As you know by now, dear reader, I am very good at languages. I soon learnt enough words to communicate quite well and I understood we were in Houyhnhnm Land. The Houyhnhnms continued to be impressed by my wisdom and my clean and smart appearance. Many other Houyhnhnms came to visit me. All of them felt confused (困惑) because I was similar to the Yahoos. But I did my very best to show how different I was from these disgusting creatures (令人厌恶的生物). The first grey horse I saw became my master and teacher. Together we had many interesting conversations. I told my master that the greatest ambition for all Yahoos was to have as much money as possible to buy bigger and better things. I also added that it was very difficult to get that much money honestly. As a result, most of the people lived a poor life while a few people had lots of money. You may think, dear reader, that my description of life in England and Europe was very unfair. But after living with the Houyhnhnms for some time, it became clearer to me how equal their society was. I felt I wanted to live in Houyhnhnm Land for the rest of my life. It was such a pleasant place. Over time I even began to copy the appearance of the Houyhnhnms and made myself shoes like theirs. I was happy to live with the Houyhnhnms for the rest of my life but unluckily everything changed on one fatal day. The Houyhnhnms didn’t think it was right that I lived like a Houyhnhnm. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 34. Why does the writer use “dear reader” in his story? A. To make the story interesting. B.

The Yahoos hoped Gulliver could treat them differently. 36. What did Gulliver think of his life in Houyhnhnm Land? A. Tiring. B. Pleasant. C. Boring. D. Strange. 37. What may happen after the last paragraph? A. Gulliver would become the master of the grey horse. B. Gulliver would live a good life in Houyhnhnm Land. C. The Houyhnhnms would ask Gulliver to leave their land. D. The Houyhnhnms would teach Gulliver to make their shoes. 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. B 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，改编自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛在慧骃国的经历与感受。 【34题详解】 第一段语句“As you know by now, dear reader, I am very good at languages.”可知，作者用“dear reader”直接称呼读者，拉近与读者的距离，目的是吸引读者的注意力。 【35题详解】 第二段语句“But I did my very best to show how different I was from these disgusting creatures.”可知，作者极力表现自己与耶胡的不同，认为自己比耶胡更优越。 【36题详解】 第四段语句“It was such a pleasant place.”可知，格列佛认为慧骃国的生活很愉快。 【37题详解】 最后一段语句“The Houyhnhnms didn’t think it was right that I lived like a Houyhnhnm.”可知，慧骃们不认可格列佛像它们一样生活，因此后续可能会要求格列佛离开慧骃国。 C We can’t remember clearly when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal. Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, ▲ So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you? Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time even when you are with real people. So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, and it will be a wonderful time. 38. Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A. the less cheerful they became. B. the less delicious the food seemed to them. C. the more interested they were in the food. D. the more "liked” they got on Weibo or WeChat. 39. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The reasons for checking your mobiles. B. The ways of posting the photos onto the Internet. C. Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. D. The tips of making others like your photos on Weibo or WeChat. 40. What does the writer use to support his point in the passage? A. Description of stories. B. The study and scientific facts. C. Other people's ideas. D. The readers’ experiences. 41. What can we learn from the passage? A. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life. B. Take photos of delicious food and share them with others. C. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home. D. Enjoy life with people around us instead of taking photos of food. 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. B 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章针对人们在餐桌上给食物拍照并上传社交媒体的普遍现象进行了讨论。 【38题详解】 根据第三段第二句“Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.”（花时间给食物拍照会让食物变得不那么令人愉快。）可知，拍照这一行为会削弱进食的愉悦感。选项 B “the less delicious the food seemed to them”（食物在他们看来就越不美味）符合上下文逻辑。 【39题详解】 第四段的第一句“Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals.”是该段的主题句。选项 C “Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals”（餐前给食物拍照的一些其他不良影响）。 【40题详解】 第三段明确提到了“A recent study suggests...”（最近的一项研究表明……）以及研究人员进行的实验（“some researchers did an experiment...”），用实验数据证明拍照影响味觉；第四段分析了心理层面的影响。 【41题详解】 最后一段总结全文并提出建议：“Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you.”（让食物保持它原本的美味，并与你周围的人分享你的生活。），选项D最能体现文章的主旨。 D Do you ever think about visiting beautiful villages but don’t have the time?

If you want to help protect old buildings, you can even “adopt” them on the website. It’s more than a museum; it’s a journey into China’s living history, packed with culture, art and nature. This museum protects our culture and lets more people know about Chinese traditional villages. 42. How did the writer develop the first paragraph? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C.

Bees never get ________ because they can remember the way. (lose) 【答案】lost 【解析】 【详解】句意：蜜蜂从不迷路，因为它们能记住路。get是系动词，后面接形容词作表语；根据句意“because they can remember the way”，可知是lost“迷路的”。 47. Follow that ______ advice and soon you will solve the problem. (teacher) 【答案】teacher’s 【解析】 【详解】句意：遵循那位老师的建议，很快你就会解决这个问题。teacher“老师”，是一个名词。根据句意可知，这里应指“老师的建议”，应用名词所有格，空前that是单数，所以teacher直接加’s，故填teacher’s。 48.

This is the _________ time that I have been to Yangzhou. (第三) 【答案】third 【解析】 【详解】句意：这是我第三次来到扬州。此处表示“第三”用序数词“third”，因为“the”后需接序数词表示顺序，表达“第三”用“third”，故填third。 52. Guilin is a beautiful city in the ________ part of our country. (南部的) 【答案】southern 【解析】 【详解】句意：桂林是我国南部的一座美丽城市。此处表示“南部的”用形容词“southern”，因为“the”后需接形容词修饰名词“part”，表达“南部的”用“southern”。 53.

In the past, many rivers were ________ seriously, but now they are cleaned up. （污染） 【答案】polluted 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去，很多河流被严重地污染了，但现在它们被清理干净了。pollute“污染”，是一个动词。又因主语“many rivers”和动词构成被动关系，应用被动语态，“be+过去分词”。故填polluted。 五、阅读与表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) Getting a new puppy sounds amazing! You’ll get lots of hugs, fun playtime, and a loyal friend who’s always by your side. But a recent study in PLOS ONE shows that raising a puppy isn’t all easy. It has big challenges, like small bites, chewed furniture, and messed-up daily plans. For some new owners, this furry little friend brings more stress than they thought. Experts say being prepared is key to getting along with your puppy. First, have the right reason to get one. Many first-time owners got puppies hoping to feel better mentally. While puppies make many people happy, one third of main caregivers found the work much harder than expected. Taking them to the vet, buying food, and daily walks all take lots of time. Even a 13-year-old boy said, “I didn’t think owning a dog would be so hard.” So, feeling better mentally shouldn’t be your main reason. Second, every dog is special. Even cloned dogs with the same genes can have different personalities—one might be outgoing, another shy—because of their life experiences. Also, make sure to learn about where your puppy comes from carefully, and pick a reliable trainer to help you. Finally, interact safely with puppies, especially if you have kids. A survey found that things like hugging too much, bothering puppies while they eat, or pulling their ears or tails can lead to bites. Owning a puppy brings great joy. If you’re prepared and know what to expect, you and your lovely furry friend will have a much smoother time! 根据上面短文的内容回答问题。 (每小题答案不超过10个词) 56. What challenges do new puppy owners face? ______________________________________________________________ 57.

Because it takes lots of time./Because it is much harder than expected. (答出一个即可) 58. Because of their life experiences./Because they have different life experiences. (答出一个即可) 59. Hugging too much./Bothering puppies while they eat./Pulling their ears or tails. (答出一个即可) 60. Yes. Because it can bring me happiness. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了养小狗虽能带来快乐，但也存在不少挑战，并给出了养好小狗的几条实用建议。 【56题详解】 根据第一段“It has big challenges, like small bites, chewed furniture, and messed-up daily plans.”以及“This furry little friend brings more stress than they thought.”可知，挑战包括小咬伤、被咬坏的家具、被打乱的日常计划以及超出预期的压力。任选其一即可。 【57题详解】 根据第二段“Taking them to the vet, buying food, and daily walks all take lots of time.”以及“one third of main caregivers found the work much harder than expected”可知，三分之一的照顾者说养狗很难原因是养狗花费大量时间，且比预期困难得多。 【58题详解】 根据第三段“Even cloned dogs with the same genes can have different personalities...because of their life experiences.”可知，克隆犬性格不同的原因是它们的生活经历不同。 【59题详解】 根据第四段“things like hugging too much, bothering puppies while they eat, or pulling their ears or tails can lead to bites.”可知，过度拥抱、在狗吃东西时打扰、拉扯耳朵或尾巴都可能导致咬人。任选其一即可。 【60题详解】 本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。例如：想养，因为小狗能带来快乐；或不想养，因为养狗太费时间。 六、缺词填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词，使短文完整。 （每空一词） In China, there was a story about the invention of silk.

As you know by now, dear reader, I am very good at languages. I soon learnt enough words to communicate quite well and I understood we were in Houyhnhnm Land. The Houyhnhnms continued to be impressed by my wisdom and my clean and smart appearance. Many other Houyhnhnms came to visit me. All of them felt confused (困惑) because I was similar to the Yahoos. But I did my very best to show how different I was from these disgusting creatures (令人厌恶的生物). The first grey horse I saw became my master and teacher. Together we had many interesting conversations. I told my master that the greatest ambition for all Yahoos was to have as much money as possible to buy bigger and better things. I also added that it was very difficult to get that much money honestly. As a result, most of the people lived a poor life while a few people had lots of money. You may think, dear reader, that my description of life in England and Europe was very unfair. But after living with the Houyhnhnms for some time, it became clearer to me how equal their society was. I felt I wanted to live in Houyhnhnm Land for the rest of my life. It was such a pleasant place. Over time I even began to copy the appearance of the Houyhnhnms and made myself shoes like theirs. I was happy to live with the Houyhnhnms for the rest of my life but unluckily everything changed on one fatal day. The Houyhnhnms didn’t think it was right that I lived like a Houyhnhnm. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 34. Why does the writer use “dear reader” in his story? A. To make the story interesting. B.

This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal. Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, ▲ So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you? Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time even when you are with real people. So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, and it will be a wonderful time. 38. Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A. the less cheerful they became. B. the less delicious the food seemed to them. C. the more interested they were in the food. D. the more "liked” they got on Weibo or WeChat. 39. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The reasons for checking your mobiles. B. The ways of posting the photos onto the Internet. C. Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. D. The tips of making others like your photos on Weibo or WeChat. 40. What does the writer use to support his point in the passage? A. Description of stories. B. The study and scientific facts. C. Other people's ideas. D. The readers’ experiences. 41. What can we learn from the passage? A. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life. B. Take photos of delicious food and share them with others. C. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home. D. Enjoy life with people around us instead of taking photos of food. D Do you ever think about visiting beautiful villages but don’t have the time? Thanks to modern technology, you can now visit them without even leaving your home. Why not have a try and enjoy your online tours? The Traditional Chinese Village Digital Museum is a free online museum. With just your phone or computer, you can learn about the beauty and history of thousands of traditional Chinese villages. People began building this museum in 2017. It has become the world’s largest rural heritage database. It offers interesting ways to see 6,819 villages across China. You can take 360-degree virtual (虚拟的) tours and feel like you’re really walking through the streets. You can look inside traditional houses and imagine the daily lives of people in the past. There are also 3D models of villages, short films and lots of photos showing their history. If you like stories, you can listen to real villagers share their memories of these special places. The online museum also has exhibitions (展览) about special buildings, like the tulou, a traditional building in Fujian. If you want to help protect old buildings, you can even “adopt” them on the website. It’s more than a museum; it’s a journey into China’s living history, packed with culture, art and nature. This museum protects our culture and lets more people know about Chinese traditional villages. 42. How did the writer develop the first paragraph? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By using examples. D. By listing numbers. 43. People can do these things when visiting the online museum except ________.

You’ll get lots of hugs, fun playtime, and a loyal friend who’s always by your side. But a recent study in PLOS ONE shows that raising a puppy isn’t all easy. It has big challenges, like small bites, chewed furniture, and messed-up daily plans. For some new owners, this furry little friend brings more stress than they thought. Experts say being prepared is key to getting along with your puppy. First, have the right reason to get one. Many first-time owners got puppies hoping to feel better mentally. While puppies make many people happy, one third of main caregivers found the work much harder than expected. Taking them to the vet, buying food, and daily walks all take lots of time. Even a 13-year-old boy said, “I didn’t think owning a dog would be so hard.” So, feeling better mentally shouldn’t be your main reason. Second, every dog is special. Even cloned dogs with the same genes can have different personalities—one might be outgoing, another shy—because of their life experiences. Also, make sure to learn about where your puppy comes from carefully, and pick a reliable trainer to help you. Finally, interact safely with puppies, especially if you have kids. A survey found that things like hugging too much, bothering puppies while they eat, or pulling their ears or tails can lead to bites. Owning a puppy brings great joy. If you’re prepared and know what to expect, you and your lovely furry friend will have a much smoother time! 根据上面短文的内容回答问题。 (每小题答案不超过10个词) 56. What challenges do new puppy owners face? ______________________________________________________________ 57. Why do one third of caregivers say that owning a dog is hard? ______________________________________________________________ 58.
