This made many other people want to be farmers, too. But no one tried to stop the farmers from plowing almost all the land and cutting down most of the trees. Still, everything was fine until 1931. This was the beginning of a terrible drought—a long period without rain. The beautiful wheat fields dried up, and the crops died. Then there were no plants to keep the soil in place. All that was left was bare, ugly, dry dirt. Then the wind started to blow. With no trees to prevent it, the wind gathered up the soil into huge black clouds that travelled for miles. These clouds were called dust storms, and it was impossible for people to get away from them. Dirt is collected in people’s houses. It fell into their food. It got into their noses, mouths, and eyes. People wore masks, but the dust still clogged their lungs, causing many people to get sick. The dust even fell very high in a few places. Everything was buried in the dust, and farm animals died without food. The serious storms punished everyone and everything. The Great Plains became known as the Dust Bowl. This was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States. But some people believed the farmers deserved what happened to them because they did not care for the soil. They said the disaster could be prevented if the farmers were wiser and more careful. Mini-dictionary: 1. plow /plaʊ/v. 耕 2. bare /beə (r)/adj. 荒 芜 的 3. clog/klɒg/v. 堵塞 4. lung /lʌŋ/n. 肺 5. bury/'beri/v. 掩埋 6. deserve /di'zə:v/v. 应得 52. Where may this article come from? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。20世纪30年代美国大平原遭遇严重干旱，因过度耕作和砍伐树木导致土壤流失，造成沙尘暴，这是美国史上最严重的自然灾害。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了美国大平原地区的人们因过度耕作和砍伐导致土壤流失，进而形成沙尘暴的环境问题。因此，这篇文章很可能来自一份环境报告，而非新闻报道、旅游指南或生物学杂志。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后的“and cutting down most of the trees”可知，大平原上的大部分树木被砍伐（c）；根据第二段第二句中的“This was the beginning of a terrible drought”以及第三句中的“The beautiful wheat fields dried up”可知，发生了可怕的干旱，而且田地干涸了（b）；根据第二段第三句的后半句“and the crops died”以及第四句“Then there were no plants to keep the soil in place.”可知，接着庄稼死亡，没有植物可以固定土壤（a）；根据第三段中的“Then the wind started to blow.”以及“the wind gathered up the soil into huge black clouds”可知，风吹起土壤，聚集成巨大的黑云（d）。因此，尘暴形成的顺序是c-b-a-d。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“causing many people to get sick”“and farm animals died without food”以及“The Great Plains became known as the Dust Bowl.”可知，在文章中提到，沙尘暴使得人们生病（A项），动物因为没有食物而死亡（C项），大平原变成了尘暴区（D项），但并未提到田地受到污染。故选B。 【55题详解】 观点态度题。文章中提到“This was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States”，这句话是对尘暴事件的评价和看法，因此A选项“这是最严重的自然灾害”是文章中的一个观点。B、C、D三个选项都是对尘暴现象的描述，而非观点。故选A。 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Recently, a new kind of tourism has begun in China, called “special forces style tourism (特种兵式旅游)”. It means visiting many places of interest in a short period, most often on weekends. Most of these visitors are college students, reported China Youth Daily. Yu Yinghua, a student from Shanghai, is one of them. She started her tour in March after being deeply touched by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers (博主). “Trapped in school for almost 3 years, ___56___” said Yu. Most of her trips started from her daily life, such as a chat with friends. “ ___57___” Yu said. She found lots of information before travelling. That would help save time when travelling and enjoy the places better. Her last trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 a.m., Yu visited nine local places. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said. “It’s a bit tiring, but I enjoy this trip as much as days-long trips.” Chen Junjun, a doctoral student in Shanghai, is different from Yu. ____58____ In April the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an. During her trip, she visited all the famous places in the city. “Such a trip can bring a bright colour to my busy life!” said Chen. ____59____ “It’s too tiring. Visitors try to see as many places as possible in a short period,” Chen said. In some ways, such trips are not as flexible (灵活的) as days-long trips because you can’t change your plan. “____60____” said Chen. Different people should choose their own ways of travelling. A. I’m now hungry to take trips. B. It takes us a lot of time to travel around. C. Everyone couldn’t have a good trip during that time. D. But making a plan carefully for the trip is important. E. But such kind of tour may not be proper for everyone. F. She likes to travel far to get herself free from schoolwork. G. So, enough energy and a clear mind are for this tour. 【答案】56. A 57. D 58. F 59. E 60. G 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一些大学生喜欢的旅行方式——特种兵式旅游，也就是在短时间内参观多个名胜。文中还列举了几名大学生的经历。 【56题详解】 根据下文“Most of her trips started from her daily life”可知，此处是说想去旅行。A项“我现在很想去旅行”符合语境，故选A。 【57题详解】 根据“She found lots of information before travelling.”可知，此处是说为旅行制定计划。D项“但是为旅行精心制定计划是很重要的”符合语境，故选D。 【58题详解】 根据“Chen Junjun, a doctoral student in Shanghai, is different from Yu.”及“In April the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an.”可知，此处是说她到比较远的地方去旅行。F项“她喜欢到很远的地方旅行，以使自己从课业中解脱出来”符合语境，故选F。 【59题详解】 根据“It’s too tiring. Visitors try to see as many places as possible in a short period,”可知，此处是说这种旅行有它的局限性。E项“但这种旅游可能并不适合每个人”符合语境，故选E。 【60题详解】 根据“In some ways, such trips are not as flexible (灵活的) as days-long trips because you can’t change your plan.”可知，此处是说旅行也需要动脑筋。G项“所以，要有足够的精力和清醒的头脑来参加这次旅行”符合语境，故选G。 五、选词填空 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其适当的形式填空, 每个词或短语只能用一次。 polite, Britain, avoid, be born with, in public, conversation, on board, proud of, search for, afford 61.

British 67. search for 68. more politely 69. proud of 70. avoid 【解析】 【61题详解】 句意：我们需要确保车上/船上的每个人身体都足够健康。on board表示 “在船上/ 飞机上/车上”，作后置定语修饰everyone，此处是指确保在船上/ 飞机上/车上的所有人身体健康。 【62题详解】 句意：英国人常常以天气为话题开启一段对话。此处为固定搭配start a conversation，表示“开启一段对话”，空前为a，空处填conversation。 【63题详解】 句意：我们应该记住不要在公共场合吸烟。in public表示“在公共场合”，此处是指不要在公共场合吸烟。 【64题详解】 句意：那个天生有残疾的年轻人在赢得金牌之前训练非常刻苦。be born with表示“天生具有”，主句是一般过去时，定语从句也用一般过去时，主语who指代单数man，故用was born with。 【65题详解】 句意：格林一家太穷了，买不起这么昂贵的汽车。too…to…表示“太……而不能……”，此处too poor to afford表示“太穷而买不起”。 【66题详解】 句意：那时数千名英国士兵正站在深水之中。此处修饰名词soldiers，应用形容词，Britain的形容词为British，表示“英国的、英国人的”，此处是指“英国士兵”。 【67题详解】 句意：电脑常被用来查找信息。此处为固定搭配be used to do sth.，表示“被用来做某事”，search for information表示“查找信息”。 【68题详解】 句意：你向别人求助时越有礼貌，别人就越愿意帮助你。此处为the + 比较级，the + 比较级，表示“越……越……”，修饰动词ask用副词，polite的副词是politely，比较级是more politely。 【69题详解】 句意：布朗夫人为儿子深感自豪，总是在别人面前高度赞扬他。此处为固定短语feel proud of，表示“为……感到骄傲”，空前为feel，空处填proud of。 【70题详解】 句意：当我们和西方人交谈时，应该避免谈论年龄、体重等话题。avoid doing sth.表示“避免做某事”，空前为should，后接动词原形avoid。 六、短文填空 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 How did Confucius (孔子) live his life?

What is the best life in his eyes?”和首字母a可知，针对这些问题，给出他的答案，故填(a)nswers。 【72题详解】 句意：他的思想今天对我们仍然有意义。根据“His idea is still”和首字母m可知，他的思想仍然有意义，meaningful“有意义的”，作为系动词is的表语，用形容词，故填(m)eaningful。 【73题详解】 句意：北京的语文老师魏胜坤为我们解释。根据“What does it mean?”和首字母e可知，他解释它的意思，explain“解释”，叙述发生过的事情，用一般过去时，故填(e)xplained。 【74题详解】 句意：我们中的许多人可能会以这种方式生活很长时间。be able to do sth.“能做某事”，故填(a)ble。 【75题详解】 句意：相反，他乐在其中。结合句意，前一句表示孔子说，这样的生活对他来说一点也不痛苦，后一句表示他乐在其中，因此表示他反而不痛苦，用副词instead“反而”。故填(I)nstead。 【76题详解】 句意：因为他知道对他来说什么是最重要的。此处作为宾语从句，作主语，表示事物，用what“什么”，故填(w)hat。 【77题详解】 句意：它不是金钱或社会地位，而是道德和精神的丰富。not...but...“不是……，而是……”，故填(b)ut。 【78题详解】 句意：他说人们应该用正确的方式赚钱。根据“If he got lots of money in a wrong way, then it would be as unreal as c...in the sky.”可知，此处表示要用正确的方式赚钱，right“正确的”，故填(r)ight。 【79题详解】 句意：如果他以错误的方式得到很多钱，那就像天上的云一样不真实。根据“Wealth and ranks got through injustice are like floating clouds to me.”和首字母c可知，通过不公正获得的财富和地位对我来说就像浮云，cloud“云”，天上不是只有一片云，用复数形式，故填(c)louds。 【80题详解】 句意：它给人的生命带来真正的价值。根据“Like Confucius, his student Yan Hui also believed in the power of morality.”和首字母t可知，他相信道德的力量，因此它给人带来真正的价值，true“真正的”，是形容词，修饰名词value，用形容词，故填(t)rue。 七、任务型阅读 请认真阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中第1—10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—10的相应横线上。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。 Have you ever read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Or James and the Giant Peach? If you have, you are one of thousands of children who have read stories by Roald Dahl. Mr. Dahl is one of the most-read writers of children’s books. Many of his stories have been made into movies, like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The BFG. His book Matilda has been made into a musical play. And it is not just children who like his works. Adults do too. Mr. Dahl had a very interesting life. He was born in 1916. After he finished school in England, he lived in many different places such as Newfoundland, Tanzania, Africa, and Washington, DC. He was a fighter pilot (战斗机飞行员) in World War Ⅱ. He wrote stories for adults. Many of these were published in magazines. But he is best known for his children’s stories. Maybe Mr. Dahl’s mother was one of the reasons he became a writer of children’s books. She told him and his sisters stories when they were young. He enjoyed the stories about giants and other strange living things. When he was older, he loved adventure stories. Mr. Dahl started to write his famous books for children after he had children of his own. He used to tell his children stories, just like his mother did with him. Then he started to write them. He thought that he was good at writing these stories because he could see the world through children’s eyes. Dahl once said, “Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.” Maybe that is why people love his works so much. His stories are full of magic, and we want to believe in magic.

It asks schools to arrange 30-minute big break sports activities regularly every day, aiming to make sure that students have enough time for exercise. Schools should design different activities to have the students train their bodies exactly. The following can be the choices. Activities Advantages Running make students’ legs strong and improve their heart function Skipping rope train students’ coordination and make their bodies more flexible Playing ball games not only improve students’ physical abilities but also develop their teamwork spirit and communication skills Doing martial arts (武术) improve their attention span and self-control and increase confidence as they master different skills In short, different kinds of activities at break time will surely benefit us a lot.

The children jeered at (嘲笑) them and jumped up and down. Without saying a word, the old man took his grandson out of the school gate. “Wonderful! I don’t have to go to school!” the boy said. “You do, but not this one,” his grandfather replied. “I’ll find you a school myself.” The grandfather took his grandson back to his own house, asked the boy’s grandmother to look after him, and then went out to look for a school himself. Every time he got to a school, the old man went into a playground, and waited for the children to come out at break time. In some schools the children completely ignored (不理会) the old man, and in others, they made fun of him. When this happened, he would run sadly and go home. Finally, he went into the very small playground of a very small school, and stood tiredly against the wall. The bell rang, and the children got out into the playground. “Sir, are you all right? Shall I get you something to drink?” a voice said. “We’ve got a bench in the playground—come and sit down,” came another voice. Soon a young teacher came out into the playground.

This made many other people want to be farmers, too. But no one tried to stop the farmers from plowing almost all the land and cutting down most of the trees. Still, everything was fine until 1931. This was the beginning of a terrible drought—a long period without rain. The beautiful wheat fields dried up, and the crops died. Then there were no plants to keep the soil in place. All that was left was bare, ugly, dry dirt. Then the wind started to blow. With no trees to prevent it, the wind gathered up the soil into huge black clouds that travelled for miles. These clouds were called dust storms, and it was impossible for people to get away from them. Dirt is collected in people’s houses. It fell into their food. It got into their noses, mouths, and eyes. People wore masks, but the dust still clogged their lungs, causing many people to get sick. The dust even fell very high in a few places. Everything was buried in the dust, and farm animals died without food. The serious storms punished everyone and everything. The Great Plains became known as the Dust Bowl. This was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States. But some people believed the farmers deserved what happened to them because they did not care for the soil. They said the disaster could be prevented if the farmers were wiser and more careful. Mini-dictionary: 1. plow /plaʊ/v. 耕 2. bare /beə (r)/adj. 荒 芜 的 3. clog/klɒg/v. 堵塞 4. lung /lʌŋ/n. 肺 5. bury/'beri/v. 掩埋 6. deserve /di'zə:v/v. 应得 52. Where may this article come from? A.

Or James and the Giant Peach? If you have, you are one of thousands of children who have read stories by Roald Dahl. Mr. Dahl is one of the most-read writers of children’s books. Many of his stories have been made into movies, like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The BFG. His book Matilda has been made into a musical play. And it is not just children who like his works. Adults do too.

He was a fighter pilot (战斗机飞行员) in World War Ⅱ. He wrote stories for adults. Many of these were published in magazines. But he is best known for his children’s stories.
