1. Jim took _________ one-hour ride around the lake yesterday. What _________ great fun he had!
A. an, a B. an, / C. a, a D. a, /
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:吉姆昨天骑车绕湖游了一个小时。他玩得多开心啊!
考查冠词。a一个,用于辅音音素前;an一个,用于元音音素前。第一空为泛指,one-hour读音为辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a,第二空格所在句子是以what引导的感叹句,fun是不可数名词,不用冠词,所以感叹句结构为What+不可数名词+主+谓!故选D。
2. — It’s too hot. ________ I swim in the lake near our home, mum?
—No, you ________. It’s so dangerous. You’d better go to the swimming pool.
A. Could; couldn’t B. Need; mustn’t C. Must; needn’t D. Could; can’t
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——天气太热了。我能在我们家附近的湖里游泳吗,妈妈?——不,你不可以。太危险了。你最好去游泳池。
考查情态动词。could能,表示委婉地请求;need需要;mustn’t不准;must必须;needn’t不必;can’t不能,不可以。根据“...I swim in the lake near our home, mum?”可知,第一空表示请求许可,要用could,此时否定回答为“No,you can’t.”。第二空根据前面的No以及后面的“It’s so dangerous.”可知应表示“不可以”,用can’t,故选D。
3. My grandpa lives ________, but he never feels ________ because he often goes out to communicate with his neighbours.
A. lonely; lonely B. lonely; alone C. alone; alone D. alone; lonely
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的祖父独自居住,但他从不感到孤独,因为他经常出去和邻居交流。
alone独自地(副词,修饰动作);lonely孤独的(形容词,作表语)。第一空修饰lives,应用alone;第二空表示“感到孤独”,应用lonely,应填alone; lonely。
4. --The passage is easy. There are _________ new words in it.
--Yes, but I don't think _________ can understand it.
A. few; anyone B. a few; anyone C. few; everyone D. a few; everyone
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】考点:考查代词的用法。
【详解】试题分析:句意:——那篇短文很简单。里面几乎没有生词。——是的,但是我认为有一些人看不懂它。few几乎没有,a few一些;anyone任何人,everyone每个人。根据The passage is easy.可知此处表示这篇文章简单,因此几乎没有生词,第一空用few。 第二空连词but表示转折关系,故表示有些人不理解,anyone任何人,everyone指“所有人”的意思。故选C。
5. —Have you heard that Tom is going to sell his house and car?
—Yes. I guess losing his job has driven him into a ________. He really needs money.
A. danger B. room C. corner D. break
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你听说汤姆要卖掉他的房子和车了吗?——是的。我猜失业把他逼入了困境。他真的需要钱。
danger危险;room房间;corner角落/困境;break休息。根据“losing his job”和“He really needs money”可知,失业将其逼入了困境。考查固定搭配drive sb. into a corner,意为“把某人逼入困境”。
6. Many young people even drink more than two cups of coffee because they think nothing is better than coffee to keep them ________.
A. awake B. asleep C. alive D. afraid
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多年轻人甚至喝两杯以上的咖啡,因为他们认为没有什么比咖啡更能让他们保持清醒的了。
awake醒着的;asleep睡着的;alive活着的;afraid害怕的。根据“drink more than two cups of coffee”可知,喝咖啡通常是为了提神,结合生活常识,咖啡的作用是让人保持清醒,符合语境。
7. —Who is in the teachers’ office? The light is still on.
—It ________ be Mr. Wu. He has been abroad.
A. may not B. mustn’t C. can’t D. shouldn’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——谁在教师办公室?灯还亮着。——不可能是吴老师。他已经出国了。
may not可能不;mustn’t禁止;can’t不可能;shouldn’t不应该。根据“He has been abroad.”可知吴老师已经出国了,推测他不可能在办公室,表示有把握的否定推测用can’t。
8. —I don’t think we can learn ________ in these boring soap operas.
—I can’t agree more. They can get in the way of our work and study.
A. something useful B. useful nothing
C. anything useful D. useful everything
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我认为在这些无聊的肥皂剧中我们学不到任何有用的东西。——我再同意不过了。它们会妨碍我们的工作和学习。
形容词修饰不定代词时要放在不定代词之后,排除B和D;否定句中常用anything而不是something,根据I don’t think可知是否定句,排除A。应选anything useful。
9. ________ we have done! We feel great as we can do something to help children in need.
A. What a meaningful work B. What a meaningful job
C. How meaningful job D. How meaningful work
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们做了多么有意义的工作啊!当我们能帮助有需要的孩子时,我们感觉很棒。
感叹句中心词为名词,应用What引导,排除C、D选项。work表示“工作”时是不可数名词,前不能用不定冠词a,排除A选项;job是可数名词,可以用a修饰。
10. This area ________ over 50 per cent of the country’s wheat (小麦).
A. produces B. protects C. prepares D. practises
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个地区生产了全国超过50% 的小麦。
produces生产;protects保护;prepares准备;practises练习。根据“over 50 per cent of the country’s wheat”可知,此处指该地区的小麦产量,应用“生产”。
11. You can’t ________ two rabbits at the same time. You had better not listen to music as you are doing your homework. If you do, you will catch neither.
A. run through B. run after C. run across D. run away
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你不能同时追赶两只兔子。你最好在做作业时不要听音乐。如果你这样做,你将一无所获。
run through跑着穿过;run after追逐;追赶;run across偶然遇到;run away跑开;逃跑。根据后文“If you do, you will catch neither.”可知,此处指不能同时“追赶”两只兔子,比喻一心不可二用。
12. —Please return the magazine you borrowed last week to the library as soon as possible.
—I’m sorry. I forgot to ________ it here. I ________ it at home.
A. take; forgot B. bring; left C. take; left D. bring; forgot
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——请尽快把你上周借的杂志归还给图书馆。——对不起。我忘记把它带来这里了。我把它落在家里了。
take带走;forgot忘记;bring带来;left留下;遗忘。根据“here”可知,动作方向是带到说话处,第一空填bring,排除选项A和C;根据“at home”可知,第二空表示把某物落在某地,用leave表达,排除选项D,根据“forgot”可知,句子是一般过去时,动词要用过去式,leave的过去式是left。
13. They don’t allow ________ in the classroom, but we’re allowed ________ in it.
A. shouting; to read B. to shout; to read
C. to shout; reading D. shouting; reading
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们不允许在教室里大喊大叫,但允许我们在里面阅读。
allow后接动名词作宾语,即allow doing sth.,表示“允许做某事”;allow用于被动语态时,后接动词不定式,即be allowed to do sth.,表示“被允许做某事”。因此第一空用动名词shouting,第二空用不定式to read。
14. ________ of our class ________ interest in the relationship between animals and humans. They think animals are more than pets.
A. Forth-nine; shows B. Four-ninths; show
C. Forths-nine; shows D. Four-nineths; show
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们班九分之四的学生对动物与人类之间的关系表现出兴趣。他们认为动物不仅仅是宠物。
分数表达法中,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于1时,分母序数词加s,“九分之四”表达为Four ninths,“分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于名词,此处class指全班学生,结合后文They可知为复数,谓语动词用原形show。应填Four-ninths;show。
15. —Tom, do you mind climbing Mount Huangshan with us?
—________ It’s a good way to relax.
A. Yes, please. B. Never mind. C. Let’s go. D. Certainly not.
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Tom,你介意和我们一起去爬黄山吗?——当然不介意。它是一个放松的好方法。
Yes, please是的,请;Never mind没关系;Let’s go让我们走吧;Certainly not当然不。问句“Do you mind doing…?”用于询问是否介意做某事,根据“It’s a good way to relax.”可知,此处表达不介意,用“Certainly not.”表示不介意,符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍盲人登山者埃里克克服重重艰险成功登顶珠峰,用经历诠释了永不放弃的人生道理。
【16题详解】
句意:它坐落于喜马拉雅山脉,位于尼泊尔和中国两者之间。
空后为“Nepal and China”两个国家,between用于两者之间,契合地理位置表述。among用于三者及以上,in表示在范围内部,on表示在物体表面,都不符合两国相邻分界的语境。
【17题详解】
句意:许多登山者都想要抵达它的顶端。
空后多次出现登顶相关表述“reach the peak”,top表示“顶端”,契合登山者攀登目标。foot“底部”,side“侧面”,bottom“底端”,都不符合登山的语境逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:1953年,埃德蒙·希拉里爵士和丹增·诺尔盖成为首批登上顶峰的人。
空后为“peak”顶峰,reach有“抵达、到达”之意,契合攀登至山顶的语义。tell“告诉”,see“看见”,ask“问”,词义和用法均不匹配。
【19题详解】
句意:和其他所有登山者一样,埃里克遭遇了狂风、大雪和雪崩。
空后为高山恶劣气候环境,strong可修饰“wind”表示猛烈的风,贴合语境。magic“神奇的”,weak“微弱的”,amazing“令人惊喜的”,都和恶劣风雪场景无关。
【20题详解】
句意:但真正让埃里克的攀登令人难以置信的是他从十三岁起就失去了视力。
上文讲述普通登山者面临的艰险,后文转折点明他盲人的特殊身份,But表转折关系衔接前后文意。So表因果,And表并列,Or表选择,无法形成语义转折。
【21题详解】
句意:到2001年,他成为首位登上珠峰顶峰的盲人,这是我们星球的最高点。
空后“the highest point on our planet”对应山峰顶点,peak表示“顶峰”,语义对应。head“头部”,base“基地”,valley“山谷”,均和海拔最高点含义不符。
【22题详解】
句意:队友们大声发出诸如“左侧有巨石!”或“右侧有冰块坠落!”之类的警示话语。
空后有举例语句,such与as构成固定搭配such as表示“例如”,适配举例语境。so修饰形容词或副词,enough表“足够”,these指代复数名词,不符合搭配。
【23题详解】
句意:埃里克还借助特制的冰上工具,触碰山上的冰岩、雪地来辨别前行路线。
上文提到埃里克双目失明,需要借助工具感知路况,touch表示“触碰、触摸”,符合盲人靠触摸感知环境的语境。smell“闻”,watch“观看”,point“指向”,都不符合盲人依靠触觉探路的逻辑。
【24题详解】
句意:攀登过程十分艰难,伴随着狂风呼啸和冰岩坠落的景象。
空后为伴随出现的恶劣环境,with可引导伴随状语,表伴随状态。because引导原因从句,and连接并列分句,for表原因或目的,都不能引导伴随成分。
【25题详解】
句意:当埃里克爬得越高,空气就变得越稀薄。
根据高山海拔常识,海拔越高空气越稀薄,thinner表示“更稀薄的”,符合客观规律。thicker“更浓厚的”,colder“更寒冷的”,warmer“更温暖的”,不符合空气随海拔变化的特征。
【26题详解】
句意:他需要佩戴氧气面罩来呼吸。
上文提到高处空气稀薄缺氧,breathe表示“呼吸”,契合氧气面罩的功用。walk“行走”,talk“交谈”,move“移动”,都不是面罩的核心用途。
【27题详解】
句意:他穿行在冰雪之中攀爬,有时甚至会坠入裂缝。
空后为冰雪环绕的立体空间,through表示从物体内部穿过,适配穿行在冰雪间的语境。in表示在内部静态停留,across表示从表面横穿,over表示从上方越过,都不符合立体穿行的含义。
【28题详解】
句意:他的双手生了冻疮,但他依旧坚持前行。
句中“but”表转折,keep doing sth.为固定搭配,表示“坚持做某事”,贴合不顾伤痛继续攀登的语境。used“使用”、made“制作”、take“拿”均不能接动名词表持续坚持的含义,用法不符。
【29题详解】
句意:当人们看到山峰上飘扬的旗帜时,都激动地欢呼起来。
结合“he reached the summit”可知,此处为成功登顶的喜悦时刻,cheered表示欢呼,契合激动庆祝的氛围。talked“交谈”,cried“哭泣”,fought“争斗”,都不符合胜利后的情绪表达。
【30题详解】
句意:当人们看到山峰上飘扬的旗帜时,都激动地欢呼起来。
此处形容旗帜在山间的状态,waving表示“飘动、挥舞”,适配旗帜迎风舒展的画面。shining“闪耀”,falling“掉落”,jumping“跳跃”,都不能用来描述旗帜的状态。

Have you ever dreamed of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and the most famous one is Rainbow Mountain. Millions of tourists come for it every year.
Rainbow Mountain is also called Mountain of Seven Colors. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. Millions of tourists come here every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds and purples? The reason lies in the ice. When it began to melt (融化), the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and fine weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days will probably stop you from taking nice photos. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain is about 5,200 meters high above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time.
34. How does the writer start the text?
A. By listing a fact. B. By telling a story.
C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example.
35. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Where Rainbow Mountain is. B. How to get to Rainbow Mountain.
C. When to visit Rainbow Mountain. D. Why it is called Rainbow Mountain.
36. If Tom wants to visit Rainbow Mountain, which is the best time?
A. On the morning of a sunny day in May.
B. At noon of a rainy day in September.
C. On the evening of a cloudy day in December.
D. On the afternoon of a snowy day in January.
37. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The way to get to Rainbow Mountain.
B. An introduction to Rainbow Mountain.
C. The best time to go to Rainbow Mountain.
D. The reason why it’s called Rainbow Mountain.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. B

①Have you ever visited any traditional Chinese gardens? They look more like natural sights than some Western gardens. They have a long history. In the past, there were two main types of gardens: imperial (皇家的)gardens and private (私人的) gardens. Imperial gardens were for the use of the emperor and his family. Private gardens were built by important officials or wealthy businessmen. Both types of gardens were mainly built for hunting and resting.
②The Summer Palace in Beijing is China’s most famous imperial garden. It covers an area of about 3,000,000 m2. Kunming Lake takes up almost three-fourths of the garden’s total area. There are over 3,000 ancient buildings and a large number of plants in the garden. You can also see more than 40,000 valuable works from each ancient period. With such a rich collection, the garden is known as the “Imperial Garden Museum”.
③As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator’s Garden (拙政园) in Suzhou. It has an area of only 52,000 m2. It is quite small compared with imperial gardens, but it’s beautiful. When you are standing in any corner of the garden, it all looks like a lifelike picture. And the whole garden looks different in different seasons.
④The traditional Chinese gardens have been designed to look naturally formed. Mountains and waters, trees and flowers, houses and towers are well-organized. They don’t look crowded together at all. In fact, Chinese gardens are in some ways much like traditional Chinese landscape paintings. The two have influenced and developed alongside one another. Both of them show the importance of nature in Chinese culture.
38. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The owners of Chinese gardens.
B. The history of Chinese gardens.
C. Two main kinds of Chinese gardens.
D. Two main reasons for building gardens.
39. What can we know about traditional Chinese gardens according to the passage?
A. The things in the gardens were not formed properly.
B. The private gardens in Suzhou are famous for the size.
C. They are different from traditional Chinese landscape paintings.
D. They were mainly built for the owners to hunt and rest.
40. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
41. How does the writer describe the two kinds of gardens in Paragraph 2 and 3?
A. By explaining reasons and describing problems.
B. By listing numbers and comparing the gardens.
C. By asking a question and reporting a result.
D. By giving numbers and choices.
【答案】38. C 39. D 40. D 41. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统园林有两大类型:皇家园林和私家园林。颐和园是最著名的皇家园林,拙政园是最有名的私家园林。
【38题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“In the past, there were two main types of gardens: imperial (皇家的)gardens and private (私人的) gardens.”可知,第一段主要介绍了中国园林的两大类型。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Both types of gardens were mainly built for hunting and resting.”可知,中国传统园林都是为了狩猎和休息建造的。故选D。
【40题详解】
篇章结构题。第①段引出话题;第②③段分别介绍了颐和园和拙政园;第④段说明了中国园林在设计方面的共同之处。故选D。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据“It covers an area of about 3,000,000 m2 …You can also see more than 40,000 valuable works from each ancient period.”“It has an area of only 52,000 m2.”“It is quite small compared with imperial gardens, but it’s beautiful.”可知,作者在介绍皇家园林和私家园林时,运用了列数字和作比较两种写作方法。故选B。
D
What keeps volcanoes (火山) from erupting (喷发)? A new study found that an underground “lid (盖子)” does its job at the supervolcano under Yellowstone National Park in the western US.
The Yellowstone supervolcano is one of the few that can have “super eruptions”, said the US Geological Survey. The ash (灰烬) from these eruptions can go 30 to 50 kilometers into the sky, three to five times as high as most planes fly.
Volcanoes erupt when hot, melted (融化的) rock, called magma (岩浆), reaches Earth’s surface. The melting takes place inside Earth because of plate (板块) movement. Since magma is lighter than solid (固态的) rock, it rises. As this happens, gas bubbles form inside it. If the magma is thin, it flows out easily as lava (熔岩). But if it’s thick, the gas bubbles get stuck, causing pressure to build up and even explode (爆炸).
The “lid” at Yellowstone is made of magma that is 3.5 to 4 km below the northeastern part of the Yellowstone caldera (火口). This magma cap has tiny holes that let out some of the gas from time to time, keeping the pressure under control.
Scientists made the finding by sending safe seismic waves (地震波) across the national park and picking them up with 650 sensors (传感器). With so many sensors, scientists got a much clearer image (图像) of what’s going on underground.
Even though a big Yellowstone eruption seems impossible for thousands of years, the study helps understand its future. Also, “the finding is important for everything from geothermal energy (地热能) to keeping CO2 underground,” said Brandon Schmandt, a lead scientist.

【解析】
【详解】句意:当河流泛滥时,它有时会破坏村民的家园和生命。句子为一般现在时,主语it是第三人称单数,需使用动词第三人称单数形式;“破坏”可译为destroys/ruins/damages,均符合语境。
47. Lily felt so down that she answered most of the questions ________. (正确的)
【答案】incorrectly
【解析】
【详解】句意:莉莉情绪十分低落,以至于她大部分问题都回答得不正确。“正确的”为形容词correct,句中修饰动词“answered”需要用副词形式,结合“Lily felt so down”可知需表达否定含义,要在correct先在词尾加-ly变为副词correctly,加否定前缀in-后为incorrectly,表示“不正确地”。
48. The teacher took the kids to the zoo as a ________. (款待)
【答案】treat
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师带孩子们去动物园当作一次款待。空格前有不定冠词“a”,空格处需填入单数可数名词,treat意为“款待”。
49. Why do people call the Earth the “Blue ________”? (行星)
【答案】Planet
【解析】
【详解】句意:为什么人们称地球为 “蓝色行星”?根据“Why do people call the Earth the ‘Blue ______’.”以及汉语提示“行星”可知,此处表示“行星”,名词planet“行星”,且此处特指地球这一颗蓝色行星,用单数形式。“Blue Planet”是一个专有名词,指代“蓝色星球(地球)”,所以这里首字母通常需要大写,写作Planet。
50. The firemen managed to take the survivors from the earthquake to ________. (安全)
【答案】safety
【解析】
【详解】句意:消防员设法将地震中的幸存者带到了安全地带。介词to后接名词,“安全”的名词形式是safety,固定搭配take sb. to safety表示“把某人带到安全地方”。
51. As pandas ________ (most) live in China, they have become a cultural symbol of our nation.
【答案】mostly
【解析】
【详解】句意:因为熊猫大部分生活在中国,它们已经成为我们国家的文化象征。句中“live”是动词,需要用副词来修饰,most是形容词/代词,不能直接修饰动词,它的副词形式是mostly(意为“大部分地、主要地”)可以修饰动词,故填mostly。
52. The prices of houses kept ________ (rise) in the past ten years, but now they drop a lot.
【答案】rising
【解析】
【详解】句意:在过去的十年里,房价持续上涨,但现在下降了很多。“keep doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“持续做某事”,应填rising。
53. Luosifen smells terrible but ________ (taste) really great.
【答案】tastes
【解析】
【详解】句意:螺蛳粉闻起来很难闻,但尝起来很棒。taste意为“尝起来”,是系动词。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。主语“Luosifen”为第三人称单数,所以谓语用tastes。
54. April showers bring May flowers, bees and ________ (butterfly) play among flowers.
【答案】butterflies
【解析】
【详解】句意:四月的雨带来五月的花,蜜蜂和蝴蝶在花丛中嬉戏。butterfly“蝴蝶”,是名词。and连接并列成分,前面bees是复数,因此butterfly也要用复数形式butterflies。
55. The boy runs over to see this amazing animal, out of ________. (breathe)
【答案】breath
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个男孩跑过去看这只神奇的动物,喘不过气来。空格前为介词out of,介词后需接名词作宾语,因此需将breathe转换为名词形式,固定搭配out of breath是常用短语,意为“喘不过气、上气不接下气”。
六、阅读表达
The Fisherman and His Soul is a short story from Oscar Wilde’s collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Wilde wrote these stories for his children in 1888.
The Fisherman and His Soul is the story of a young fisherman. One day, he catches a mermaid in his fishing net and he falls in love with her. The fisherman learns he cannot be with the mermaid because he has a human soul. The fisherman then tries to send away his human soul. The fisherman learns from a witch how to send his soul away. He is then free to be with his mermaid. His soul is alone in the world. He travels the world. Each year he comes back to the fisherman and tells him about his travels.
One of the themes of the story is temptation (诱惑). In the story, the mermaid tempts the fisherman with stories of the sea. The fisherman tempts the witch to help him send away his soul. And his soul tries to tempt the fisherman to leave the mermaid.
But the main theme of the story is love. Love is more important than anything. The soul cannot tempt the fisherman because the fisherman’s love is too strong. And in the end, we discover that one cannot live without love.

【答案】
A letter from Xishuangbanna Rainforest
Dear teenagers,
I’m a peacock living in the Xishuangbanna Rainforest. It lies in the south of Yunnan Province. It’s a beautiful home for countless plants and animals, and it also keeps the natural balance of the earth.
Our rainforest has amazing views and different kinds of lovely wild animals. As for me, I have colorful feathers. I mainly feed on insects and plants. I often walk near rivers in the daytime and rest in trees after sunset.
But now our home is in danger. More trees are cut down, and our living space is becoming smaller. I feel worried and sad.
I hope you can learn more about our rainforest, love it and try your best to protect it.
I’m looking forward to seeing my hometown become better and better!
Your friend,
Peacock

Have you ever dreamed of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and the most famous one is Rainbow Mountain. Millions of tourists come for it every year.
Rainbow Mountain is also called Mountain of Seven Colors. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. Millions of tourists come here every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds and purples? The reason lies in the ice. When it began to melt (融化), the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and fine weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days will probably stop you from taking nice photos. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain is about 5,200 meters high above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time.

①Have you ever visited any traditional Chinese gardens? They look more like natural sights than some Western gardens. They have a long history. In the past, there were two main types of gardens: imperial (皇家的)gardens and private (私人的) gardens. Imperial gardens were for the use of the emperor and his family. Private gardens were built by important officials or wealthy businessmen. Both types of gardens were mainly built for hunting and resting.
②The Summer Palace in Beijing is China’s most famous imperial garden. It covers an area of about 3,000,000 m2. Kunming Lake takes up almost three-fourths of the garden’s total area. There are over 3,000 ancient buildings and a large number of plants in the garden. You can also see more than 40,000 valuable works from each ancient period. With such a rich collection, the garden is known as the “Imperial Garden Museum”.
③As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator’s Garden (拙政园) in Suzhou. It has an area of only 52,000 m2. It is quite small compared with imperial gardens, but it’s beautiful. When you are standing in any corner of the garden, it all looks like a lifelike picture. And the whole garden looks different in different seasons.
④The traditional Chinese gardens have been designed to look naturally formed. Mountains and waters, trees and flowers, houses and towers are well-organized. They don’t look crowded together at all. In fact, Chinese gardens are in some ways much like traditional Chinese landscape paintings. The two have influenced and developed alongside one another. Both of them show the importance of nature in Chinese culture.

What keeps volcanoes (火山) from erupting (喷发)? A new study found that an underground “lid (盖子)” does its job at the supervolcano under Yellowstone National Park in the western US.
The Yellowstone supervolcano is one of the few that can have “super eruptions”, said the US Geological Survey. The ash (灰烬) from these eruptions can go 30 to 50 kilometers into the sky, three to five times as high as most planes fly.
Volcanoes erupt when hot, melted (融化的) rock, called magma (岩浆), reaches Earth’s surface. The melting takes place inside Earth because of plate (板块) movement. Since magma is lighter than solid (固态的) rock, it rises. As this happens, gas bubbles form inside it. If the magma is thin, it flows out easily as lava (熔岩). But if it’s thick, the gas bubbles get stuck, causing pressure to build up and even explode (爆炸).
The “lid” at Yellowstone is made of magma that is 3.5 to 4 km below the northeastern part of the Yellowstone caldera (火口). This magma cap has tiny holes that let out some of the gas from time to time, keeping the pressure under control.
Scientists made the finding by sending safe seismic waves (地震波) across the national park and picking them up with 650 sensors (传感器). With so many sensors, scientists got a much clearer image (图像) of what’s going on underground.
Even though a big Yellowstone eruption seems impossible for thousands of years, the study helps understand its future. Also, “the finding is important for everything from geothermal energy (地热能) to keeping CO2 underground,” said Brandon Schmandt, a lead scientist.
42. What is a supervolcano?
A. A volcano that never erupts. B. A volcano that sends ashes into the sky.
C. A volcano with huge eruptions. D. A volcano found in big mountains.
43. What is actually the “lid” at the Yellowstone supervolcano?
A. A big gas bubble. B. A huge solid rock.
C. A thin layer of lava. D. A thick layer of magma.
44. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How scientists found the magma cap.
B. How scientists predict volcano eruptions.
C. How scientists cool down large volcanoes.
D. How scientists study the formation of volcanoes.
45. According to Brandon Schmandt, what is the importance of the finding?
A. Understanding Earth’s plate movement.
B. Helping the national park stay safe in the future.
C. Helping people make use of the geothermal energy.
D. Studying the influence of volcanic activity on the environment.

六、阅读表达
The Fisherman and His Soul is a short story from Oscar Wilde’s collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Wilde wrote these stories for his children in 1888.
The Fisherman and His Soul is the story of a young fisherman. One day, he catches a mermaid in his fishing net and he falls in love with her. The fisherman learns he cannot be with the mermaid because he has a human soul. The fisherman then tries to send away his human soul. The fisherman learns from a witch how to send his soul away. He is then free to be with his mermaid. His soul is alone in the world. He travels the world. Each year he comes back to the fisherman and tells him about his travels.
One of the themes of the story is temptation (诱惑). In the story, the mermaid tempts the fisherman with stories of the sea. The fisherman tempts the witch to help him send away his soul. And his soul tries to tempt the fisherman to leave the mermaid.
But the main theme of the story is love. Love is more important than anything. The soul cannot tempt the fisherman because the fisherman’s love is too strong. And in the end, we discover that one cannot live without love.
The Fisherman and His Soul is an exotic story with Oriental and Eastern influences. There are also mermaids, witches and devils. The language is poetic and is full of allegory (寓意).
