Some kinds of them are dying out at an alarming rate (以惊人的速度). Around 200 species (物种) disappear every day. To make us aware of the serious problem and help save the animals in danger before it’s too late, our English teacher shared two posters with us. We are losing home! Like many other animals, we live in the trees. However, billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. In this way, a lot of animals’ homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper? Elephants mostly live on the plain of Africa and in the forests of Asia. But today, they are facing a serious problem: large numbers are being killed for meat and skin, especially for ivory (象牙). They are in danger! Only when we stop buying elephant products can we stop the killing and save them. Let’s say NO to sale! 11. The English teacher shared two posters with his students to ________. A. record the animals’ poor lives B. ask questions about animals C. introduce two lovely animals D. help protect animals in danger 12. Why does the mother koala bear hold the tree tightly (紧紧地) on the left poster? A. Because she carries a baby on the back. B. Because she needs to look for food. C. Because she doesn’t want to lose home. D. Because she is afraid of falling down. 13. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. About 200 species disappear every day. B. Elephants are killed only for meat and skin. C. Trees are being cut down to make paper. D. Stopping buying elephant products helps save them. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位英语老师通过两张海报让学生了解野生动物面临的生存危机，包括树木被砍伐导致动物失去家园、大象因象牙被猎杀等问题。 【11题详解】 根据第一段“To make us aware of the serious problem and help save the animals in danger...”可知，老师分享海报是为了让学生了解濒危动物并帮助保护它们。 【12题详解】 左侧海报的核心是：树木被人类砍伐做纸张，树栖动物的家园被破坏，海报标语也写着Don’t Make Paper with My Home!，因此考拉紧紧抱树是因为它不想失去自己的家园。 【13题详解】 根据右边表格第二段“large numbers are being killed for meat and skin, especially for ivory”可知，大象被猎杀不仅是为了肉和皮，尤其是还为了象牙，B项“仅仅为了肉和皮”与原文不符。 B Miya, aged nine, and her six-year-old sister Tiffany were in the swimming pool in the back garden of their house in Grandville, Michigan, the USA. Their father David was with them. It was a lovely day. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Suddenly David shouted. He was in trouble. It was his legs. His legs weren’t right. He was in pain. Then he was under the water. The girls weren’t scared but they were worried. Was it just a joke or was he really in trouble? Twenty seconds later, he was still under the water. Now Miya was scared. There was no time to wait. In seconds Miya was under the water with her father. He was heavy but with the help of the water she was able to pull him to one side of the pool. Now his head was out of the water. He was alive but he wasn’t conscious (有意识的). There was a mobile phone in the house. Tiffany called the emergency (紧急的) services. Ten minutes later an ambulance was there. Soon their father was conscious again. The girls were relieved (放心的). David still doesn’t know what was wrong with his legs on that day. But he knows that his daughters were heroes and thanks them every day for saving his life. He is a very proud father. 14. Why did David shout suddenly? A. Because he was in pain. B. Because he played a joke. C. Because he was scared. D. Because he wanted help. 15. What did the girls do after they realized their father was in real trouble? A. They laughed at their father’s joke. B. They started swimming around the pool. C. They tried to save him and called for help. D. They waited for someone else to come and help. 16. Which is the correct order of the event? a. David had a problem with his legs. b. David was conscious again. c. Tiffany called for help. d. Miya went under the water to help her dad. A. a-b-c-d B. a-d-c-b C. d-c-a-b D. c-a-b-d 17. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A. David wasn’t good at swimming B. David played a joke with his daughters C. the sisters were proud of their father D. the sisters knew what to do in trouble 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Miya和Tiffany姐妹在父亲游泳时突发腿部疾病沉入水底后，勇敢施救并呼叫急救的故事。 【14题详解】 根据第一段“Suddenly David shouted. He was in trouble. It was his legs. His legs weren’t right. He was in pain.”可知，David突然喊叫是因为他腿部不适，非常疼痛。 【15题详解】 根据第二段Miya下水救父亲和第三段Tiffany打电话叫急救可知，姐妹俩在意识到父亲真正遇险后，设法救他并呼救。 【16题详解】 根据原文，首先第一段“David shouted. He was in trouble. It was his legs.”可知David腿部出问题（a）；接着第二段“In seconds Miya was under the water with her father.”可知Miya下水救父亲（d）；然后第三段“Tiffany called the emergency services.”可知Tiffany打电话求助（c）；最后“Soon their father was conscious again.”可知David恢复意识（b）。因此正确顺序为a-d-c-b。 【17题详解】 根据文章内容，Miya果断下水救人，Tiffany冷静拨打急救电话，说明姐妹俩知道在紧急情况下该怎么做，因此可推断出“the sisters knew what to do in trouble”。 C The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditionalChinese furniture (家具). Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes. Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband. Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical(实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match (相配) for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture. 18. What was the pingfeng used for at the very beginning? A. Protecting people from wind. B. Dividing a room. C. Making a room beautiful. D. Hiding a person. 19. Which design is a symbol of wealth and good luck? A. The dragon. B. The peacock. C. The water. D. The flowers. 20. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing differences. D. By explaining the result. 21. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Practical Use of the Pingfeng B. A Beautiful Story of the Pingfeng C. Old Pingfeng in Modern Homes D. The Hidden Beauty of the Pingfeng 【答案】18. A 19. D 20. B 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国传统家具屏风的起源、早期用途、装饰图案的文化寓意、历史趣闻及其在现代生活中的新应用，展现了屏风兼具实用性与文化内涵的独特魅力。 【18题详解】 根据第1段“The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.”可知，屏风最初的用途是挡风。 【19题详解】 根据第2段“Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng.”可知，花是财富和好运的象征。 【20题详解】 第二段作者分别列举了龙、孔雀、花卉三种屏风常见设计，分别介绍它们的象征意义来展开观点，属于举例子的写法。 【21题详解】 全文不仅介绍了屏风的实用功能，还介绍了它的文化寓意、背后的历史故事，点明它不只是一件普通家具，蕴含着独有的文化内涵。D项“屏风隐藏的美”可以概括全文主旨。 D How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It was also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word“ordinary”in the third paragraph? A. Modern. B. Common. C. Rich. D. Special. 23. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 24. Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?(①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2,…) A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②/③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②③/④ 25. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The development of timekeeping. B. The importance of time. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The history of a digital clock. 【答案】22. B 23. C 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了从古至今计时工具的发展历程，包括日晷、水钟、机械钟、石英钟、数字钟等。 【22题详解】 根据第三段原文“Clocks became cheaper to build. It was also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock.”可知，石英钟发明后制造成本降低，普通民众也能负担得起购买钟。ordinary意为“普通的”，与common含义相同。 【23题详解】 文中提到的钟表种类：太阳钟（sun clock）、日晷（sundial）、水钟（water clock）、机械钟（mechanical clock）、石英钟（quartz clock）、数字钟（digital clock），共六种。 【24题详解】 文章结构：第①段引出话题；第②段介绍早期计时工具（太阳钟、日晷、水钟）；第③段介绍后期计时工具（机械钟、石英钟、数字钟）；第④段总结。因此结构为①/②③/④。 【25题详解】 全文围绕计时工具的发展历程展开，从古代的太阳钟到现代的卫星授时，介绍了不同时期的发明和改进，因此主要讲述“计时工具的发展”。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five tips to improve your memory Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work?

For your brain to work well, 7-9 hours of sleep is necessary. 【答案】26. F 27. C 28. A 29. G 30. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了提高记忆力的五个建议：健康饮食、规律运动、放松身心、充足睡眠、多用大脑。 【26题详解】 上文提到吃水果、蔬菜和蛋白质能提高记忆力，下文提到吃油性鱼、黑巧克力和维生素D3也有帮助。因此中间应补充避免的食物，F项“Try to avoid sugary foods such as cakes and milk chocolate.”符合，形成对比。 【27题详解】 下文提到2011年研究表明规律运动能增加大脑体积，另一项研究发现运动能提高老年人的记忆力。因此本段主题是运动的重要性，C项“The role of exercise is really important too.”符合。 【28题详解】 上文提到冥想或听音乐可以改善记忆力，并建议每天花5-10分钟放松。因此下文应补充其他简单的放松方式，A项“Or even just take a shower!”符合，举例说明简单的放松活动。 【29题详解】 上文提到睡眠可以帮助学习，下文提到2019年研究发现短暂睡眠后学生学习效果更好。因此中间应说明睡眠时长的重要性，G项“For your brain to work well, 7–9 hours of sleep is necessary.”符合。 【30题详解】 下文提到尝试记住电话号码和地址而不是存在手机里，还可以学习语言或做填字游戏。因此本段主题是多用大脑，E项“To keep your brain in good condition, you need to use it.”符合。 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在横线上写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31.

Some kinds of them are dying out at an alarming rate (以惊人的速度). Around 200 species (物种) disappear every day. To make us aware of the serious problem and help save the animals in danger before it’s too late, our English teacher shared two posters with us. We are losing home! Like many other animals, we live in the trees. However, billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. In this way, a lot of animals’ homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper? Elephants mostly live on the plain of Africa and in the forests of Asia. But today, they are facing a serious problem: large numbers are being killed for meat and skin, especially for ivory (象牙). They are in danger! Only when we stop buying elephant products can we stop the killing and save them. Let’s say NO to sale! 11. The English teacher shared two posters with his students to ________.

B Miya, aged nine, and her six-year-old sister Tiffany were in the swimming pool in the back garden of their house in Grandville, Michigan, the USA. Their father David was with them. It was a lovely day. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Suddenly David shouted. He was in trouble. It was his legs. His legs weren’t right. He was in pain. Then he was under the water. The girls weren’t scared but they were worried. Was it just a joke or was he really in trouble? Twenty seconds later, he was still under the water. Now Miya was scared. There was no time to wait. In seconds Miya was under the water with her father. He was heavy but with the help of the water she was able to pull him to one side of the pool. Now his head was out of the water. He was alive but he wasn’t conscious (有意识的). There was a mobile phone in the house. Tiffany called the emergency (紧急的) services. Ten minutes later an ambulance was there.

Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes. Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband. Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical(实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match (相配) for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture. 18. What was the pingfeng used for at the very beginning? A. Protecting people from wind. B. Dividing a room. C. Making a room beautiful. D. Hiding a person. 19. Which design is a symbol of wealth and good luck? A. The dragon. B. The peacock. C. The water. D. The flowers. 20. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing differences. D. By explaining the result. 21. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Practical Use of the Pingfeng B. A Beautiful Story of the Pingfeng C. Old Pingfeng in Modern Homes D. The Hidden Beauty of the Pingfeng D How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It was also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word“ordinary”in the third paragraph? A. Modern. B. Common. C. Rich. D. Special. 23. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 24. Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?(①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2,…) A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②/③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②③/④ 25. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The development of timekeeping. B. The importance of time. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The history of a digital clock. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five tips to improve your memory Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work?
