Making paper-cuts has become my favourite hobby. It helps me relax after school. It teaches me perseverance. Every time I finish a piece, I feel a sense of achievement.

The Yellow River, known as China’s “Mother River”, is over 5,400 kilometres long starting from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Bohai Sea. It gets its name from the yellow mud (泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). This mud is perfect for farming.
For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the “cradle of Chinese civilization (中华文明的摇篮)”.
But the Yellow River is also called “China’s Big Problem”. Why? Its floods once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along it. Later, modern dams (大坝) like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped stop floods.
Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortage. Millions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China’s future.

A. The Bohai Sea B. The Loess Plateau C. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau D. The Qinghai Lake

四、任务型阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面的短文,按要求完成后面的小题。
Do you laugh every day? Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day on average. That is a lot of laughter (笑).
In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. They aren’t a place for people to watch interesting shows. They’re a place for people to practice laughing. People get together every morning. First, they put their hands on their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. But after a short time, everyone is laughing naturally. They say they feel good after laughing together.
Scientists believe that laughter is good for us. Why do they think so? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When we laugh, we exercise many muscles (肌肉) in our body. ①Scientists say that one hundred laughs are the same as ten minutes of running. For another, when we laugh, we also breathe deeply which helps us relax. That’s good for us, too.
Why do we laugh? That’s a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when there is no one with them. Many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect with other people. Laughter helps us feel part of a group.
Some people even say that laughter is the best medicine. If a man is ill, laughter can help him get well. What do you think?

【导语】本文讲述了作者在奶奶的指导下学习剪纸的经历,从最初遇到困难到不断练习最终取得进步,并从中领悟到坚持和文化传承的意义。
【16题详解】
作者第一次尝试剪纸不顺利,想要放弃时奶奶说了这句话。由此可以推断,奶奶说“第一步总是最难的”主要是为了鼓励她不要因为初期的困难而放弃。
【17题详解】
划线词所在语境为“It teaches me perseverance”,前文提到作者每个周末都练习,剪纸逐渐变好。由此可以推断,perseverance意为“坚持不懈”,与keeping trying意思相近。
【18题详解】
第二段提到“I made flowers, animals, and even Chinese characters like ‘blessing’ and ‘good’.”,文中未提及制作建筑物。
【19题详解】
第二段提到“I practiced every weekend.”,因此她每个周末都练习剪纸。A项她是从奶奶那里学的,不是自学;C项老师把剪纸贴在教室里,不是家里;D项她从去年才开始,不是许多年前。
【20题详解】
作者通过不断练习从最初的失败到后来的成功,体现了“熟能生巧”的道理。
C
The Yellow River, known as China’s “Mother River”, is over 5,400 kilometres long starting from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Bohai Sea. It gets its name from the yellow mud (泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). This mud is perfect for farming.
For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the “cradle of Chinese civilization (中华文明的摇篮)”.
But the Yellow River is also called “China’s Big Problem”. Why? Its floods once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along it. Later, modern dams (大坝) like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped stop floods.
Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortage. Millions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China’s future.
21. Where does the Yellow River start?
A. The Bohai Sea B. The Loess Plateau C. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau D. The Qinghai Lake
22. Why is the Yellow River called the “cradle of Chinese civilization”?
A. Because it helped build factories. B. Because early Chinese emperors built their capitals near it.
C. Because it provides water for crops. D. Because people can go swimming in it.
23. Which is TRUE about the Xiaolangdi Dam?
A. People in modern times built it to help stop floods. B. Ancient people built it to grow crops.
C. It once destroyed villages and crops. D. It is called “China’s Big Problem”.
24. What new challenges does the Yellow River face today?
A. Earthquakes and storms B. Pollution and water shortage C. Too many visitors D. Warm weather
25. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Longest River in China B. The Yellow River: China’s Mother River and Its Challenges
C. How Dams Stopped Floods in Ancient China D. The Meaning of Water in Chinese Farming
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 24. B 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了黄河的地理概况、被称为“中华文明摇篮”的原因、历史上洪水带来的挑战以及当今面临的新问题。
【21题详解】
第一段提到“starting from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Bohai Sea”,因此黄河发源于青藏高原。
【22题详解】
第二段提到“Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the ‘cradle of Chinese civilization‘”,因此黄河被称为中华文明摇篮是因为早期中国皇帝在它附近建都。
【23题详解】
第三段提到“modern dams like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped stop floods”,因此小浪底大坝是现代人修建用于防洪的。
【24题详解】
第四段提到“Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortage”,因此黄河今天面临的新挑战是污染和水资源短缺。
【25题详解】
全文既介绍了黄河作为“母亲河”的重要地位,也讲述了其历史问题和当今挑战,因此“黄河:中国的母亲河及其挑战”最能概括全文主旨。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了莉莉不小心打碎了安娜的杯子,两人发生矛盾,在表妹露西的建议下,莉莉通过写信道歉、给予对方时间和礼物,最终与安娜和好如初。
【26题详解】
句意:莉莉这些天日子不好过。have a hard time是固定短语,意为“过得艰难”。前有is,需用现在进行时having。
【27题详解】
句意:她和最好的朋友安娜吵了一架。have a fight with sb.表示“与某人打架/吵架”。
【28题详解】
句意:安娜满怀愤怒,对莉莉大喊大叫。full of anger意为“充满怒气”,符合后面大喊大叫的行为。
【29题详解】
句意:她甚至说了一些伤人的话。修饰words需要用形容词,因为愤怒,所以说的话很伤人,用hurtful。
【30题详解】
句意:她建议莉莉先给安娜一些时间冷静下来。advise sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,故填to give。
【31题详解】
句意:莉莉可以给安娜买一个新杯子或一份特别的礼物。present意为“礼物”,与mug并列作为道歉的选项。
【32题详解】
句意:当面说对不起并不容易。It’s + adj. + to do sth.句型,to say sorry是真正主语。
【33题详解】
句意:在便条中,你可以清楚地解释情况并表达真实感受。修饰动词explain需用副词clearly。
【34题详解】
句意:她为昨天那么刻薄而道歉。介词for后跟动名词,be变为being。
【35题详解】
句意:我们应该设身处地为他人着想。put oneself in others’ shoes是习语,主语we对应反身代词ourselves。
四、任务型阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面的短文,按要求完成后面的小题。
Do you laugh every day? Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day on average. That is a lot of laughter (笑).
In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. They aren’t a place for people to watch interesting shows. They’re a place for people to practice laughing. People get together every morning. First, they put their hands on their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. But after a short time, everyone is laughing naturally. They say they feel good after laughing together.
Scientists believe that laughter is good for us. Why do they think so? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When we laugh, we exercise many muscles (肌肉) in our body. ①Scientists say that one hundred laughs are the same as ten minutes of running. For another, when we laugh, we also breathe deeply which helps us relax. That’s good for us, too.
Why do we laugh? That’s a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when there is no one with them. Many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect with other people. Laughter helps us feel part of a group.
Some people even say that laughter is the best medicine. If a man is ill, laughter can help him get well. What do you think?
36. How many times do people laugh on average every day?

38. ①Laughter is good exercise. ②Laughter helps us relax.(答案不唯一,合理即可)
39. 科学家说,笑一百次相当于跑步十分钟。

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了人们日常大笑的频率、印度笑声俱乐部的活动方式、 laughter 对身体健康的益处以及 laughter 在社交中的作用。
【36题详解】
第一段直接说明人们平均每天大笑的次数:“people laugh about 17 times a day on average”,属于原文直接信息题,直接提取作答。
【37题详解】
第二段直接说明印度笑声俱乐部的目的:“They’re a place for people to practice laughing.”,属于原文直接信息题,直接提取作答。
【38题详解】
第三段中明确提到了 laughter 的两个益处:一是 good exercise(锻炼身体),二是 helps us relax(帮助我们放松)。属于原文信息归纳题。
【39题详解】
Scientists say that one hundred laughs are the same as ten minutes of running. 译为“科学家说,笑一百次相当于跑步十分钟。”Scientists“科学家们”;say“说”;that“(引导宾语从句)”;one hundred laughs“笑一百次”;are the same as“相当于/与……相同”;ten minutes of running“跑步十分钟”。
【40题详解】
本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一,需结合自身态度作答。同意可从laughter有益健康、放松身心、增强社交等角度说明;不同意可指出laughter不能替代正规医疗。契合文章主题即可。
五、词汇考查(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
41. Many people realize the importance of keeping the ________ (nature) balance of the ecosystem.
【答案】natural
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多人意识到保持生态系统自然平衡的重要性。nature是名词,此处修饰名词balance,应用形容词natural“自然的”。
42. Luckily, they found a ________ (solve) at the last minute.
【答案】solution
【解析】
【详解】句意:幸运的是,他们在最后一分钟找到了一个解决方案。根据不定冠词“a”可知,此处需要填入名词单数形式,solve的名词形式是solution。故填solution。
43. Online museums allow people ________ (learn) about the world.
【答案】to learn
【解析】
【详解】句意:线上博物馆允许人们了解世界。固定搭配:allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”。因此learn需用不定式形式to learn。
44. It is hard for us to imagine the true ________ (free).
【答案】freedom
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们很难想象真正的自由。“true”为形容词,后接名词,括号内给出free(形容词),其名词形式为freedom。
45. Animals have special ________ (ability) to live in wild places.
【答案】abilities
【解析】
【详解】句意:动物拥有在野外生存的特殊能力。空格前为动词“have”和形容词“special”,需要一名词作宾语;ability“能力”是可数名词,主语“Animals”是复数,说明动物们有多种特殊能力,应用复数形式abilities。
46. Eating healthy food is good for us. ________ (do) some sports is also a great way to make yourself relaxed.
【答案】Doing
【解析】
【详解】句意:吃健康的食物对我们有好处。做运动也是让自己放松的好方法。根据句子结构,此处需要填入动名词作句子的主语,do的动名词形式是doing,句首首字母大写。故填Doing。
47. He ________ (control) his anger and kept calm just now.
【答案】controlled
【解析】
【详解】句意:他刚才控制住了自己的怒气,并保持了冷静。时间状语“just now”表示动作发生在过去,因此要用一般过去时。动词control的过去式是controlled。
48. ________ (short), we should always exercise.
【答案】In short
【解析】
【详解】句意:总之,我们应该经常锻炼。分析句子可知空处在句中作状语,起总结作用,In short表示“简而言之,总之”,符合前后句逻辑。
49. Fu Xing told Emma that no one ________ (expect) her to be perfect from the start.
【答案】expected
【解析】
【详解】句意:傅星告诉艾玛,没有人期望她从一开始就做到完美。expect“期望”,根据“told”以及“from the start”可知,此处表示在过去没有人期望她从一开始就完美,所以用一般过去时,expect的过去式为expected。故填expected。
50. Mo Yan is one of ________ (great) writers in our country.
【答案】the greatest
【解析】
【详解】句意:莫言是我国最伟大的作家之一。固定结构“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”,表示“最……的……之一”,因此此处需用great的最高级形式,great的最高级为greatest,故填the greatest。

【答案】
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter. You asked me how to keep relaxed and healthy while growing up. Here are my ways.
To relax, I often listen to music, because it makes me feel calm. I also enjoy taking a walk in the park. Sometimes, chatting with my family or friends helps me share feelings and reduces stress.
To stay healthy, I do sports regularly, such as running or playing basketball. I believe a balanced diet is also important, so I eat more vegetables and fruit. Besides, I make sure to get enough sleep every night.
I think keeping relaxed and healthy is very important for our study and growth.
Yours,
Li Hua
