The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer’s field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. “Hey, Ant, come sit with me,” said the grasshopper. “No, thanks,” said the ant. “I have to take this corn home. I’m preparing for the winter.” A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. “Come on, Ant!” said the grasshopper. “Dance with me!” “No,” replied the ant. “I’m going to get more corn. Why don’t you join me? You should plan for the winter.” “But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let’s have a picnic!” “No, thanks, Grasshopper. I’m going to continue with my boring work.” The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. “Ant, it’s too windy to work!” said the grasshopper. “Come and sing with me!” “No, thanks, Grasshopper. There’s just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter.” And then the cold winter came. The ant sat at home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. “Oh, dear Ant,” said the grasshopper, “you must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!” “Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!” 28. What was the ant doing in the summertime? A. Playing the violin. B. Collecting corn. C. Having a picnic. D. Dancing in the sun. 29. Which of the following words best describes the grasshopper in the story? A. Hard-working and far-sighted. B. Lazy and short-sighted. C. Kind and helpful. D. Careful and patient. 30. What can we infer from the underlined sentence “The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen.”? A. The ant was satisfied with her winter work. B. The ant was too tired to continue her work. C. The ant felt sorry for working so hard in summer. D. The ant wanted to share food with the grasshopper. 31. What lesson does this story teach us? A. Winter is a beautiful season. B. Friends should always help each other. C. We should work hard and prepare for the future. D. Playing music is more important than working. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了夏天时蚂蚁忙着收集食物为过冬做准备，蚱蜢却只顾玩乐，冬天来临蚱蜢没食物和取暖之处，蚂蚁拒绝帮助并让它春天再努力。 【28题详解】 根据原文第一段明确提到“The ant was busy collecting corn.”，可知夏天蚂蚁在收集玉米。 【29题详解】 结合“The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun…you must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!”蚱蜢整个夏秋季都只顾玩乐，拒绝为冬天做准备，冬天来临后没有食物和保暖的东西，说明它懒惰又目光短浅。 【30题详解】 划线句表示蚂蚁虽然疲惫，但看到自己储存的满厨房食物就感到开心，能推断出蚂蚁对自己为冬天做的准备工作很满意。 【31题详解】 这个是经典的蚂蚁与蚱蜢寓言，提前努力准备的蚂蚁安稳过冬，不愿未雨绸缪的蚱蜢陷入困境，告诉我们要努力劳作、为未来做好准备。 C Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination (授粉). On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen (花粉)with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs (蜂巢). Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most awesome animals on earth. 32. What’s the purpose of the questions in Paragraph 1? A. To show the bees’ own feelings. B. To introduce the topic. C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To talk about the supermarket. 33. What does “This action” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Making honey. B. How bees build their homes. C. How bees talk to one another. D. Taking pollen from one flower to another. 34. How do bees show other bees where food is? A. By dancing. B. By leaving a special smell. C. By drawing lines on the ground. D. By making loud sounds. 35. Where is this passage most probably from? A. A story book. B. A science magazine. C. A history textbook. D. A travelling guide. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了蜜蜂的作用、习性，呼吁保护蜜蜂。 【32题详解】 第一段通过设问引导读者思考生态关联，之后引出本文的核心话题——蜜蜂，因此这些问题的作用是引出主题。 【33题详解】 划线词This action前一句说明“As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen (花粉)with them.”：蜜蜂在花朵间飞行时，会携带花粉从一朵花到另一朵花，这个动作就是划线部分指代的内容。 【34题详解】 原文第三段明确说明“When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.”：当蜜蜂找到新食物后，会通过舞蹈告诉其他同伴食物的位置和距离。 【35题详解】 本文介绍了蜜蜂的作用、习性，呼吁保护蜜蜂，属于科普类内容，最可能出自科学杂志。 B） 阅读对话，从对话后所给的A～F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 John: Welcome back, Ella! How was your trip? Ella: It was great! We saw the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River. ____36____ John: No, the Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It travels the farthest and is about 6,300 kilometres long. The Yellow River is 5,464 kilometres long and is the second longest. ____37____ Ella: Because it’s yellow? John: Right. Some parts of the river carry brown and yellow earth. Ella: That’s interesting! ____38____ My favourite is the Nile. Did you know it’s the longest river in the world? John: Yes, it’s 6,671 kilometres long. It’s very important in Egypt’s history. Ella: That’s right. Both the Nile and the Yellow River helped ancient civilizations to develop. ____39____ John: Yes. In China, we even call the Yellow River our “mother river”! Ella: ____40____ John: Exactly. Rivers are the lifelines of our planet. I hope more people can realize their importance and take action to keep them clean. Ella: Me too! Maybe we can start by spreading the word to our friends and family. Let’s do our part to protect these rivers. John: Sounds great! Let’s make a difference together. A. I like learning about rivers. B. Is that the longest river in China? C. We should protect them at all costs. D. Many rivers run through our country. E. And they’re still very important today. F. By the way, do you know why it’s called the Yellow River? 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是John和Ella之间的一段对话。两人主要围绕“河流”这一话题展开讨论，内容涉及中国最长的河流（长江与黄河的对比）、黄河名称的由来、世界最长的河流（尼罗河）以及河流对人类文明的重要性，最后两人达成了保护河流的共识。 【36题详解】 上文Ella提到她们看了黄河壶口瀑布，下文John回答“No, the Yangtze River is the longest river in China.”。 B项 “Is that the longest river in China?”是一个一般疑问句，正好对应下文的否定回答“No”，符合逻辑衔接。 【37题详解】 下文Ella问道“Because it’s yellow?”，说明上文John提出了一个关于“为什么”的问题。 F项 “By the way, do you know why it’s called the Yellow River?”与下文的回答逻辑一致，符合语境。 【38题详解】 上文两人讨论了尼罗河是世界上最长的河流，下文Ella紧接着说“My favourite is the Nile.”。此处需要一个过渡句来引出对河流的个人喜好。 A项 “I like learning about rivers.”（我喜欢了解河流。）表达了Ella对河流话题的兴趣，自然地引出了下文她最喜欢的河流，符合逻辑衔接。 【39题详解】 上文Ella提到尼罗河和黄河都帮助了古代文明的发展（helped ancient civilizations to develop），下文John回答“Yes... our ‘mother river’!”。 E项 “And they’re still very important today.”是对河流重要性的进一步补充，符合逻辑衔接。 【40题详解】 上文John提到黄河是“母亲河”，下文John总结说“Exactly. Rivers are the lifelines of our planet.”。这说明Ella在此处提出了一个关于保护河流或强调河流重要性的观点。 C项 “We should protect them at all costs.”提出了保护河流的观点，与下文John的“Exactly”以及随后关于“河流是生命线”的论述完美呼应，符合逻辑衔接。 五、词语运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A） 选用方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余选项。 review count down advise as well as ongoing no doubt 41.

Writing a book ________ is a great way to understand the story better. 45. It is also meaningful to enjoy the ________ reading activities in our free time. 【答案】41. no doubt 42. as well as 43. advise 44. review 45. ongoing 【解析】 【41题详解】 句意：毫无疑问，阅读是一个好习惯。此处是固定句型There is no doubt that...，意为“毫无疑问……”，用来表达肯定的观点，符合句子语境。 【42题详解】 句意：它有助于提高我们的词汇量以及写作技能。根据“our vocabulary”以及“our writing skills”可知，此处使用as well as“以及”，用来连接两个并列的成分，表示两者都被涵盖。 【43题详解】 句意：大多数老师建议我们广泛阅读并深入思考。根据“to read widely and think deeply”可知，这是老师的建议，advise sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“建议某人做某事”，句子是一般现在时，主语是复数，谓语动词用原形。 【44题详解】 句意：写一篇书评是更好地理解故事的一个好方法。book review是固定搭配，意为“书评”，这里用Writing a book review作为句子的主语，表示“写书评”这个行为。 【45题详解】 句意：在我们的空闲时间享受正在进行的阅读活动也是很有意义的。根据“reading activities”可知，此处表示享受正在进行的阅读活动，使用ongoing“正在进行的”，形容词作定语。 B） 阅读短文，在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词，或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。 Good morning, everyone!

Thank you for listening! 【答案】46. amazing 47. to reach 48. works 49. getting 50. whether/if 51. protecting 52. copies 53. agreement 54. from 55. In 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇演讲稿，主要围绕“拒绝盗版书籍”展开，呼吁读者尊重作者的劳动成果，通过正规渠道购买书籍，共同维护健康的图书市场。 【46题详解】 句意：我们都喜欢好书和令人惊叹的角色，我们应该感谢作家并尊重他们的作品。此处修饰名词“characters”（角色），表示“令人惊叹的”，需要用形容词。动词“amaze”的形容词形式是“amazing”，意为“令人惊奇的”，符合语境。故填“amazing”。 【47题详解】 句意：一本书要到达读者手中需要付出巨大的努力。此处考查固定句型“It takes + 名词/代词 + to do sth.”，意为“做某事花费……”。其中“It”是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。故填“to reach”。 【48题详解】 句意：作者努力工作，花几个月甚至几年的时间来写这本书。根据上下文可知，文章讲述的是普遍事实，时态为一般现在时。主语“The writer”是第三人称单数，谓语动词应用单三形式。故填“works”。 【49题详解】 句意：而且他们在出版这本书时可能会遇到困难，因为出版商不能确定这本书是否会成功。此处考查固定搭配“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”，意为“做某事有困难”。介词“in”常被省略，后面接动名词形式。故填“getting”。 【50题详解】 句意：……因为出版商不能确定这本书是否会成功。此处考查宾语从句的连接词。根据句意和后面的“or not”可知，此处表示“是否”，应用“whether/if”。故填“whether/if”。 【51题详解】 句意：他们仍然必须小心保护他们的版权。介词“about”后面接动词时，需要用动名词形式（v-ing）。故填“protecting”。 【52题详解】 句意：有些人制作副本并在未经作者同意的情况下分享它们。根据句意，此处指制作“副本”，“copy”是可数名词，根据后面的“them”可知，此处应用复数形式“copies”。故填“copies”。 【53题详解】 句意：有些人制作副本并在未经作者同意的情况下分享它们。此处位于名词所有格“writer’s”之后，需要用名词形式。动词“agree”的名词形式是“agreement”，意为“同意”，符合语境。故填“agreement”。 【54题详解】 句意：我们应该总是从正规书店或官方在线平台购买书籍，从不下载或分享非法电子书。此处表示“从……购买”，应用介词“from”。故填“from”。 【55题详解】 句意：通过这种方式，我们可以共同努力建立并享受一个健康的图书市场。此处考查固定短语“in this way”，意为“通过这种方式”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填“In”。 六、阅读与表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，回答短文后的问题。 The drum has been in China for thousands of years. It is more than just a musical instrument, with deep spiritual meaning. Confucius thought highly of the “Drum Dance”, and it is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu”, which means “embolden” (使大胆) in English. The drum was first talked about in Chinese history in the Pottery Age (陶器时代). The Zhou Dynasty set up a drum music group and developed a complete drum music system. Since then, drums have been used in sacrifice (祭祀), military (军事), labour (劳动) and other activities. In ancient China, drums were very necessary for a good harvest. People believed drum sounds could attract rain, so they used drums to call for good weather. Drums also played an important role in wars: their loud sounds could scare enemies and cheer soldiers on. In the Tang and Song dynasties, drums were widely used in national bands, dramas, folk art, boat races, lion dances and festivals. Drum beats became a symbol of celebrations, bringing people joy. Today, there are many different types of Chinese drums, such as “Taiping Drum”, “Ansai Waist Drum” and “Fengyang Flower Drum”. In short, drum culture shows the peace and richness of Chinese society, and people’s wishes for peace and happiness. 注：每题答案不超过7个词。 56.

The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer’s field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. “Hey, Ant, come sit with me,” said the grasshopper. “No, thanks,” said the ant. “I have to take this corn home. I’m preparing for the winter.” A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. “Come on, Ant!” said the grasshopper. “Dance with me!” “No,” replied the ant. “I’m going to get more corn. Why don’t you join me? You should plan for the winter.” “But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let’s have a picnic!” “No, thanks, Grasshopper. I’m going to continue with my boring work.” The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. “Ant, it’s too windy to work!” said the grasshopper. “Come and sing with me!” “No, thanks, Grasshopper. There’s just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter.” And then the cold winter came. The ant sat at home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. “Oh, dear Ant,” said the grasshopper, “you must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!” “Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!” 28. What was the ant doing in the summertime? A. Playing the violin. B. Collecting corn. C. Having a picnic. D. Dancing in the sun. 29. Which of the following words best describes the grasshopper in the story? A. Hard-working and far-sighted. B. Lazy and short-sighted. C. Kind and helpful. D. Careful and patient. 30. What can we infer from the underlined sentence “The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen.”? A. The ant was satisfied with her winter work. B. The ant was too tired to continue her work. C. The ant felt sorry for working so hard in summer. D. The ant wanted to share food with the grasshopper. 31. What lesson does this story teach us? A. Winter is a beautiful season. B. Friends should always help each other. C. We should work hard and prepare for the future. D. Playing music is more important than working. C Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination (授粉). On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen (花粉)with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs (蜂巢). Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most awesome animals on earth. 32. What’s the purpose of the questions in Paragraph 1? A. To show the bees’ own feelings. B. To introduce the topic. C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To talk about the supermarket. 33. What does “This action” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Making honey. B. How bees build their homes. C. How bees talk to one another. D. Taking pollen from one flower to another. 34. How do bees show other bees where food is? A. By dancing. B. By leaving a special smell. C. By drawing lines on the ground. D. By making loud sounds. 35. Where is this passage most probably from? A. A story book. B. A science magazine. C. A history textbook. D. A travelling guide. B） 阅读对话，从对话后所给的A～F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 John: Welcome back, Ella! How was your trip? Ella: It was great!
