Anna hated helping with the cooking. What she loved best was riding Copper. After Mum died, Dad made it clear to her that she’d be safe. Anna never had the chance to drive the cattle on Copper.
After washing cups and going to her bed, she listened to the men talk about the next day’s work.
“A storm (暴风雨) is coming,” Dad said. “The cattle will be afraid.”
Anna tried to sleep but couldn’t. “The men will need my help!” she thought. But when Dad came, he said no to her help. Anna crossed her arms and looked at the sky. The stars disappeared under the clouds. The wind blew hard. The cattle were nervous (紧张的).
The camp slept—everyone but Anna. Tears ran down her face. Why couldn’t Dad understand? She knew he took Mum’s death seriously (认真地;严肃地), but how could he try to protect Anna from everything? Anna felt a few drops of rain. She got up, took her hat, and went toward her horse. “Copper!” she said. The horse seemed to understand her. Anna rode slowly into the darkness. Pulling her hat down against the rain, she lost herself in memories of riding with her parents.
A loud sound of thunder shook Anna from her thoughts. Copper became nervous too. As lightning lit the land, Anna saw the cattle and felt the same fear. More lightning crashed. The cattle became more nervous and at last some young ones began to run wildly in one direction (方向).
Stampede (动物惊跑)! All of them were coming to the camp!
Anna turned Copper around and raced back, shouting loud. Nearing the camp, Anna saw the men trying to get out of the way. The lightning was bright as daylight. As quickly as she can, Anna rode Copper toward the cattle who were so afraid.
She raced forward with the cattle, shaking her hat at them and trying to change their direction. It was hard, but slowly the young ones followed, and then more followed. Finally, the camp was safe. Dad and all the other men came along and helped the cattle back.
Later, when Anna was making coffee to warm them, Dad looked down at her seriously. Something different was in his usually gentle brown eyes “Good job!” Finally, he pulled Anna into a bear hug (拥抱). “If you forgive (原谅) an old man for loving his girl too much, I’d have you ride with us tomorrow.”
18. How did the father feel when they were back in the camp safely?
A. Very nervous and then surprised. B. Very surprised but finally proud.

b. Anna’s Mum died.

A. b—d—c—e—a B. b—c—e—d—a
C. e—c—b—a—d D. e—b—c—a—d

① Plants use chemicals (化学物质) to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more corn.
② More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds; Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants.
③ Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. Organisms such as fungi connect (连接) the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
④ Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
22. Which sentence can replace (代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A. Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
B. Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C. Let me give you some food and drinks!
D. Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
23. Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A. Some plants can talk to people.
B. Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C. Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D. Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
24. The following sentence can best be put at the end of ______.
Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
A. Paragraph ① B. Paragraph ② C. Paragraph ③ D. Paragraph ④
25. Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A. To help plants grow better. B. To build a bigger web for plants.
C. To create a “firewall” to stop insects. D. To make plants’ talking system better.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了小男孩从一开始抗拒照顾妹妹,到独自在家安抚好哭闹的妹妹,最终得到妈妈夸奖,并主动承诺下次妈妈忙碌时还会帮忙照顾妹妹。
【1题详解】
句意:妈妈说:“别担心,这不会很难的。只是一个下午而已。”
上文小男孩担心自己照顾不了婴儿,妈妈为了安抚他,说明这件事“不会很困难”。early(早的)、late(晚的)、easy(容易的)均不符合语境,difficult(困难的)契合妈妈安抚孩子的语气。
【2题详解】
句意:我想和朋友们出去踢足球,但我不能!
前半句“想踢足球”和后半句“不能”是转折关系,and(和,表并列)、so(所以,表因果)、or(或者,表选择)均不符合,but(但是,表转折)正确。
【3题详解】
句意:在过去的十三年里,我一直是家里唯一的孩子,过得很开心。
“thirteen years”指十三年的时间,符合小男孩的年龄逻辑,表达“十三年来一直是独生子女”的状态。hours(小时)、days(天)、weeks(周)都不符合语境。
【4题详解】
句意:但这并不管用,宝宝还在哭。
前文妈妈说唱摇篮曲宝宝就会睡,这里表示这个方法没起作用,work(起作用、有效)符合语境。stop(停止)、move(移动)、open(打开)均不符合。
【5题详解】
句意:所以我试了妈妈告诉我的方法:把她抱在怀里,在房间里慢慢走。
“the way my mother told me”表示“妈妈教我的方法”,way(方法、方式)契合语境。job(工作)、tour(旅行)、plan(计划)均不符合。
【6题详解】
句意:她停止了哭泣。
前文宝宝一直在哭,用了妈妈教的方法后,她停止了哭泣。eating(吃)、walking(走路)、sleeping(睡觉)均不符合“宝宝之前一直哭”的语境。
【7题详解】
句意:我开始为她唱歌,她非常喜欢我的声音。
后文提到“she liked my voice very much”,说明小男孩在唱歌,sing(唱歌)符合语境。cook(做饭)、draw(画画)、dance(跳舞)都和“声音”无关。
【8题详解】
句意:也许等你长大了,我们可以一起看电视,我还可以教你踢足球。
小男孩看着还是婴儿的妹妹,想象她长大之后一起玩的场景,older(更年长的、长大的)符合语境。fatter(更胖的)、shorter(更矮的)、smaller(更小的)均不符合。
【9题详解】
句意:妈妈开心地对我说:“你真是个好哥哥!”
妈妈回家看到宝宝被照顾得很好,心情是愉悦的,happily(开心地)修饰said,符合语境。clearly(清晰地)、loudly(大声地)、softly(温柔地)都不如happily契合妈妈的心情。
【10题详解】
句意:“妈妈!等你再忙的时候,我还会照顾她的。我希望下次能做得更好!”我笑着说。
前文妈妈是因为“要去给阿姨的生日派对帮忙”才出门的,属于“忙碌、有事情要做”的场景,小男孩说下次妈妈再因为忙碌而出门时,自己还会帮忙照顾妹妹。busy(忙碌的)贴合“妈妈因事出门、小男孩帮忙照顾妹妹”的上下文逻辑。fine(好的)、afraid(害怕的)不符合语境;alone(独自的)主语是“你”,表示“你独自一人”,不符合“妈妈出门、小男孩照顾妹妹”的场景,故排除。

图表中“Animals”部分显示,气温上升1.5℃时,有6%的动物将失去50%的家园,对应选项A。

A. b—d—c—e—a B. b—c—e—d—a
C. e—c—b—a—d D. e—b—c—a—d
20. What can we learn about Anna from the passage?
A. She was the first to know the storm.
B. Mum died when she was a small baby.
C. Dad protected her because he loved her.
D. She practiced driving cattle without telling others.
21. Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. The Stampede. B. The Clever Copper. C. Safety or Growth? D. Too Much Love?
【答案】18. D 19. B 20. C 21. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Anna在母亲去世后,渴望骑马,在暴风雨来临、牛群受惊狂奔时,不顾父亲的拒绝,独自骑马引导牛群安全返回营地,最终得到父亲认可的故事。
【18题详解】
最后一段提到“Dad looked down at her seriously. Something different was in his usually gentle brown eyes ‘Good job!’ Finally he pulled Anna into a bear hug”,说明父亲一开始是严肃生气的,而当看到Anna安全带回牛群后,他流露出了不一样的神情,先是认可,最终是骄傲。
【19题详解】
第一段“What she loved best was riding Copper. Since Mum died, Dad made it clear to her that she’d be safe.”可知,先是Anna的妈妈去世;第四段“But when Dad came, he said no to her help.”可知然后是爸爸拒绝了她的帮助;第五段“Tears ran down her face...Anna rode slowly into the darkness. Pulling her hat down against the rain”可知她很伤心,骑着马独自出去;第六段“A loud sound of thunder shook Anna from her thoughts…Stampede”可知暴风雨和动物惊跑来了;第九段“She raced forward with the cattle, shaking her hat at them and trying to change their direction. It was hard, but slowly the young ones followed, and then more followed. Finally, the camp was safe.”最后是她拯救了营地。因此顺序是b—c—e—d—a,故选B。
【20题详解】
最后一段提到父亲的话“If you forgive an old man for loving his girl too much, I'd have you ride with us tomorrow.”,结合前文父亲不让Anna帮忙的情节,能看出父亲之前是因为太爱她、担心她的安全才保护她,并非不信任她。
【21题详解】
最后一段“If you forgive (原谅) an old man for loving his girl too much, I’d have you ride with us tomorrow.”以及全文内容可知Anna的父亲因为爱她不让她骑马牧牛,在一个暴风雪的夜里,Anna拯救了整个营地,从而父亲答应她一起骑马牧牛的故事。故最佳标题应为“Safety or Growth?”。
D
① Plants use chemicals (化学物质) to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more corn.
② More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds; Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants.
③ Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. Organisms such as fungi connect (连接) the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
④ Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
22. Which sentence can replace (代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A. Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
B. Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C. Let me give you some food and drinks!
D. Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
23. Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A. Some plants can talk to people.
B. Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C. Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D. Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
24. The following sentence can best be put at the end of ______.
Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
A. Paragraph ① B. Paragraph ② C. Paragraph ③ D. Paragraph ④
25. Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A. To help plants grow better. B. To build a bigger web for plants.
C. To create a “firewall” to stop insects. D. To make plants’ talking system better.
【答案】22. D 23. C 24. B 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了植物之间通过化学物质、声音以及“木网”进行交流的方式,以及科学家研究这些交流方式的目的。
【22题详解】
第一段指出:“This is like a call for help, ‘Mayday, mayday!’ When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects.”,“Mayday, mayday!”是受害植物向周围其他植物发出的警示信号,提醒它们昆虫正在啃食叶片,对应选项D“Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!”。
【23题详解】
第二段说明:“When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help.”,说明蝙蝠这类动物能听到植物的声音并前来帮忙。
【24题详解】
句子“Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.”描述的是科学家研究植物声音的成果应用,第二段提到“Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants.”,放在第二段末尾可以承接科学家研究植物声音的目的。
【25题详解】
全文最后一段提到:“Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better.”,说明科学家研究植物交流的目的是让植物长得更好。

【答案】rising
【解析】
【详解】句意:因为雨下了好几天,水位一直在上升。句中“kept”提示这里用到了固定搭配keep doing sth.,表示“持续做某事”,后面要跟动词的-ing形式;“上升”对应的英文单词是rise,它的-ing形式需要去掉不发音的e再加-ing,故填rising。

There ________ ________ interesting in today’s newspaper.
【答案】 ①. isn’t ②. anything

45. Jane takes good care of her grandparents.(改为同义句)

【答案】 ①. looks ②. after ③. well
【解析】
【详解】句意:Jane把她的祖父母照顾得很好。“take good care of”与“look after…well”是同义表达,都表示“好好照顾”。句子为一般现在时,主语Jane是第三人称单数,所以动词look要用单三形式;同时,well作为副词修饰动词短语look after,表示“照顾得好”。故填looks;after;well。
