But there were rumors (谣言) that a ghost was in the 13 , scaring students and making strange noises at night. One day, a group of friends decided to explore the mystery of the library ghost. They started by looking around the library, searching for any clues that might help them 14 the mystery. They found nothing at first, until they saw a small door hidden behind one of the bookshelves. They decided to open the door and see where it led. To their surprise, the door opened up into a small closet (壁橱). Inside, they found an old book with 15 writing on its cover and they were interested. As they opened the book, they heard a strange noise coming from the shadows (阴影). Suddenly, a ghost appeared, walking in a sheet and 16 the friends. But as the ghost took off the sheet, they realized that it was just the school librarian, Mrs. Johnson, playing a prank (恶作剧) on them. She explained that she had been dressing up as a ghost to keep the students interested in mysteries, but promised to 17 the pranks from then on. As the friends walked back to their table, they realized that the mystery of the library ghost had been 18 solved. But they also knew that they had made a new friend in the library and shared their 19 of mysteries and reading. From then on, they spent their afternoons at the library, reading books and sharing stories with Mrs. Johnson. And while they might not have solved any more mysteries that year, they knew that they had found something even more important —a 20 of community and a love of learning. So, the next time you’re in the library and think you hear a ghostly noise, remember this story and know that it might just be a librarian playing a harmless prank. 13．A．library B．story C．community D．book 14．A．write B．create C．solve D．know 15．A．careless B．puzzling C．formal D．clean 16．A．helping B．praising C．scaring D．inviting 17．A．study B．stop C．play D．share 18．A．carefully B．luckily C．suddenly D．successfully 19．A．love B．clues C．knowledge D．memories 20．A．report B．study C．sense D．tradition 三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分） （一） A 阅读下列关于侦探小说的介绍，请根据人物需求匹配最适合的书籍，并将其对应的选项（A、B、C、D）填在相应位置上。其中一个选项为多余选项。 Popular Detective Books A    Sherlock Holmes This book by Conan Doyle is about Sherlock Holmes, a super-smart detective.

I can’t sell you the school, but I can rent it to you for a night.” “How much would that cost?” I asked. “One million pages,” Mr. Klutz replied. “Huh?” “If you kids read a million pages in books, you can turn the school into a video-game arcade for one night. ▲ The more the better.”   “You’ve got a deal!” I said. By the middle of the day, everyone in the school knew it and was reading like crazy! Kids were reading during lunch. Kids were reading during recess! Our teacher Miss Daisy was nice enough to draw a big mural in the hallway with a giant thermometer on it. Every time we read a lot of pages, she would make the temperature line go up. At the top of the thermometer were the words One Million. Soon kids were bursting into our classroom and yelling, “Mrs. Biggs’s class has read another five hundred pages!” and “Miss Hasenfratz says to add another six hundred pages!” It was fun watching the temperature rise. At the end of the week, our school had read almost half a million pages!   Two weeks later, the big moment finally arrived. That Sunday night, everybody in the whole school showed up at school. Can you believe it? Inside the gym (体育馆) was a table of snacks and juice. But best of all, the gym was filled wall to wall with video games! Families had brought in lots of TV sets, game systems, and games, and lined them up all around the gym. For the kids who didn’t like video games, there were tables of board games set up in the middle of the gym. I played just about every video game in the gym. After a few hours of staring into screens, I had a splitting headache, my hands hurt, and I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head. But it was the greatest night of my life. 24．Which is the most suitable for ▲ ? A．You can ask some other classes to help you. B．Would you please ask some other classes to help you? C．You can invite teachers to play games with you. D．Would you please invite teachers to play games with you? 25．What can we infer (推断) from the story about Mr. Klutz? A．He enjoyed reading books. B．He enjoyed playing games. C．He knew well about business. D．He knew well about children. 26．Which is the best title for the story? A．A Great Night B．A Million Pages C．A Perfect Plan D．A Brave Student C Research shows that the discovery of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) has changed science fiction (小说). Now, books and movies present these planets more exactly, making science fiction more important than before. Imagine learning about stars in a classroom. You could start with complex (复杂的) pictures and facts, or you could watch the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker sees two suns from his home planet, Tatooine. Which will more easily awaken the interest of a sleepy high school class? Science fiction has always caught our attention and it has inspired (激励) scientists to go for their dreams. For this reason, it is sometimes used to communicate science to the public, even complex ideas. To be sure that this is a useful way, it is necessary to understand how science fiction shows actual science. Emma Johanna Puranen and her team from the University of St Andrews and the Austrian Academy of Sciences did some research, studying a lot of science fiction works, including novels, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and video games to see how science fiction reflects (反映) real scientific discoveries about exoplanets. “Most stories that are set in space will finally have a scene (场景) on an exoplanet,” explains Puranen. “The reason for using exoplanets is that there was a huge change in our scientific understanding in 1995 when the first exoplanet around a sun-like star was discovered.” “Traditionally in science fiction, mostly there have been Earth-like planets,” explains Puranen. “But what has changed since the discovery of real exoplanets is that the fictional exoplanets have actually become a bit less Earth-like.” According to real science, many exoplanets are very different from Earth and often not in the “Goldilocks zone”, where conditions are friendlier to life as we know it. “I can guess that maybe writers of science fiction are reading all these headlines about worlds that are covered in lava (岩浆) or where it’s raining diamonds, which you see in the media,” says Puranen. Science fiction, in a way, reflects the knowledge and discoveries of its time. This makes it a valuable tool for science communication. It can introduce people to new scientific ideas in an interesting and understandable way. This research highlights the connection between scientific discoveries and creativity. While exploring the universe, science fiction can develop curiosity (好奇心) and make further research possible, making the subject of exoplanets an important example of how science and imagination improve each other. 27．The writer mentioned the movie Star Wars to ________. A．explain what an exoplanet is like in a humorous way B．present the result of the latest research about exoplanets C．show an interesting way of sharing science with everyone D．introduce a popular scientific movie by a famous director 28．How has science fiction changed after the discovery of the first exoplanet? A．It gives more attention to Earth. B．It describes the Earth differently. C．Science fiction has lost interest in explaining exoplanets. D．Exoplanets in science fiction have become less Earth-like. 29．The words “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean ________. A．a space found on an exoplanet B．an important part of our solar system C．an area which is good for scientific activities D．a place that provides living environment for life D Nature is full of amazing wonders, and these wonders have shaped the history of human beings. Thousands of years ago, the earliest human civilizations grew up near great natural rivers. The first one is Mesopotamian Civilization. It was born between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in West Asia. The two rivers brought plenty of water and rich soil, which helped people grow food easily. People here built the first cities and created one of the earliest writings — cuneiform. Its most brilliant culture lies in its legal (法律的) achievements, with the Code of Hammurabi (汉谟拉比法典) being one of the oldest and most complete written laws in human history. Next is Ancient Egyptian Civilization. It developed along the Nile River. Every year, it flooded (洪水泛滥) and left rich earth on the land, making the soil perfect for farming. Because of it, they created the solar calendar, which correctly matched with the Nile’s flooding cycles and guided their farming and daily life activities. Moreover, the Egyptians built great pyramids, a man-made wonder, thanks to the rich nature the Nile gave them. Ancient Indian Civilization rose on the Indus River. The river provided clean water and good farmland. People built planned cities with smart systems, showing their deep understanding of living with nature. Its city planning was unparalleled. For example, a city named Harappa had streets like today and advanced underground drainage systems. Isn’t that amazing? And One of the greatest achievements made by ancient Indians was to create numbers which now we call Arabic (阿拉伯的) numbers. They were first to create zero, which greatly improved mathematics around the world. Chinese Civilization started along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. They fed the land and helped ancient Chinese develop farming, create writing, and build colorful culture. The most shining part of its culture is its unique written language, from oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) to classical Chinese characters, which has kept thousands of years of history and thoughts and connected different generations of Chinese people. And as we all know, the four great inventions - Papermaking, Printing, Compass and Gunpowder have greatly influenced the whole world. The last one is Ancient Greek Civilization. Unlike the others, it grew on small islands and coastal areas. The natural environment made the Greeks good at sailing and trading. They learned from other civilizations and created their own great culture. Great thinkers like Socrates and Plato laid the groundwork for Western philosophy (哲学), while its literary and artistic achievements, including poems like the Iliad, have set a timeless standard for beauty and creativity. All these five civilizations began because of the wonders of nature. Rivers, rich soil and good geography gave humans the chance to live, develop and make history. Nature is not only beautiful but also the mother of human civilization. We should respect and protect every natural wonder around us. 30．What can we know about the five ancient civilizations? A．Both Mesopotamian Civilization and Chinese Civilization were born along two rivers. B．The pyramids located in Egypt are natural wonders. C．Socrates and Plato set up standards for literature and art of the whole world. D．All the ancient civilizations can develop only because of rivers. 31．What does the underlined word “unparalleled” mean in Para. 4? A．Excellent B．Unknown C．Easy to copy D．Special 32．Which of the following is true according to this passage? A．Ancient Greek Civilization developed near large rivers like the other four. B．The numbers we still use today were created by Arabs. C．Yellow River and Yangtze River are the birthplace of Chinese Civilization. D．Indians created solar calendar because it could match with the Nile’s flooding cycles. 33．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To tell us how to protect natural wonders around the world. B．To introduce the lifestyles of people in ancient civilizations. C．To show how natural wonders helped develop the civilizations. D．To compare the different cultures of the five ancient civilizations. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》) is a novel by Irish author John Boyne. This book describes World War Ⅱ from a child’s eyes. A nine-year-old German boy, Bruno, grows up in Berlin. He loves his peaceful life, with his parents, sister and three best friends. But after a visit from Adolf Hitler, Bruno’s father, Ralf, becomes the head of the death camp Auschwitz. Bruno and his family have to move there. He sees the wire fence (电线围栏) around the death camp, and the prisoners’ (犯人) uniforms—“striped pyjamas”. In the camp, he meets a Jewish boy from Poland named Shmuel. The two become good friends. It turns out that they share the same age and birthday. If you look deeper, the boys actually mirror each other. They are both naive (天真的) children, unaware of (未察觉) the bad times they live in. At the end of the book Bruno dresses in “striped pyjamas” and sneaks into the camp to help Shmuel find his missing father. After searching for a while and not finding anything, Bruno gets ready to sneak back home when the soldiers start gathering Jews for a “march”. They all enter a gas chamber (毒气室) and are never heard from again. This story tells us that people aren’t born bad or evil, and we are all more alike than different. Bruno and Shmuel wanted nothing more than a friendship, but because of the horrible world they were in, even that was just a dream. 34．Who is the writer of the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? 35．What is the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas about? 36．What do the two boys have in common?

Thousands of years ago, the earliest human civilizations grew up near great natural rivers. The first one is Mesopotamian Civilization. It was born between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in West Asia. The two rivers brought plenty of water and rich soil, which helped people grow food easily. People here built the first cities and created one of the earliest writings — cuneiform. Its most brilliant culture lies in its legal (法律的) achievements, with the Code of Hammurabi (汉谟拉比法典) being one of the oldest and most complete written laws in human history. Next is Ancient Egyptian Civilization. It developed along the Nile River. Every year, it flooded (洪水泛滥) and left rich earth on the land, making the soil perfect for farming. Because of it, they created the solar calendar, which correctly matched with the Nile’s flooding cycles and guided their farming and daily life activities. Moreover, the Egyptians built great pyramids, a man-made wonder, thanks to the rich nature the Nile gave them. Ancient Indian Civilization rose on the Indus River. The river provided clean water and good farmland. People built planned cities with smart systems, showing their deep understanding of living with nature. Its city planning was unparalleled. For example, a city named Harappa had streets like today and advanced underground drainage systems. Isn’t that amazing? And One of the greatest achievements made by ancient Indians was to create numbers which now we call Arabic (阿拉伯的) numbers. They were first to create zero, which greatly improved mathematics around the world. Chinese Civilization started along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. They fed the land and helped ancient Chinese develop farming, create writing, and build colorful culture. The most shining part of its culture is its unique written language, from oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) to classical Chinese characters, which has kept thousands of years of history and thoughts and connected different generations of Chinese people. And as we all know, the four great inventions - Papermaking, Printing, Compass and Gunpowder have greatly influenced the whole world. The last one is Ancient Greek Civilization. Unlike the others, it grew on small islands and coastal areas. The natural environment made the Greeks good at sailing and trading. They learned from other civilizations and created their own great culture. Great thinkers like Socrates and Plato laid the groundwork for Western philosophy (哲学), while its literary and artistic achievements, including poems like the Iliad, have set a timeless standard for beauty and creativity. All these five civilizations began because of the wonders of nature. Rivers, rich soil and good geography gave humans the chance to live, develop and make history. Nature is not only beautiful but also the mother of human civilization. We should respect and protect every natural wonder around us. 30．What can we know about the five ancient civilizations? A．Both Mesopotamian Civilization and Chinese Civilization were born along two rivers. B．The pyramids located in Egypt are natural wonders. C．Socrates and Plato set up standards for literature and art of the whole world.

B．The numbers we still use today were created by Arabs. C．Yellow River and Yangtze River are the birthplace of Chinese Civilization. D．Indians created solar calendar because it could match with the Nile’s flooding cycles. 33．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To tell us how to protect natural wonders around the world. B．To introduce the lifestyles of people in ancient civilizations. C．To show how natural wonders helped develop the civilizations. D．To compare the different cultures of the five ancient civilizations. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》) is a novel by Irish author John Boyne. This book describes World War Ⅱ from a child’s eyes. A nine-year-old German boy, Bruno, grows up in Berlin. He loves his peaceful life, with his parents, sister and three best friends. But after a visit from Adolf Hitler, Bruno’s father, Ralf, becomes the head of the death camp Auschwitz. Bruno and his family have to move there. He sees the wire fence (电线围栏) around the death camp, and the prisoners’ (犯人) uniforms—“striped pyjamas”. In the camp, he meets a Jewish boy from Poland named Shmuel. The two become good friends. It turns out that they share the same age and birthday. If you look deeper, the boys actually mirror each other. They are both naive (天真的) children, unaware of (未察觉) the bad times they live in. At the end of the book Bruno dresses in “striped pyjamas” and sneaks into the camp to help Shmuel find his missing father. After searching for a while and not finding anything, Bruno gets ready to sneak back home when the soldiers start gathering Jews for a “march”. They all enter a gas chamber (毒气室) and are never heard from again. This story tells us that people aren’t born bad or evil, and we are all more alike than different. Bruno and Shmuel wanted nothing more than a friendship, but because of the horrible world they were in, even that was just a dream. 34．Who is the writer of the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? 35．What is the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas about? 36．What do the two boys have in common?

I can’t sell you the school, but I can rent it to you for a night.” “How much would that cost?” I asked. “One million pages,” Mr. Klutz replied. “Huh?” “If you kids read a million pages in books, you can turn the school into a video-game arcade for one night. ▲ The more the better.”   “You’ve got a deal!” I said. By the middle of the day, everyone in the school knew it and was reading like crazy! Kids were reading during lunch. Kids were reading during recess! Our teacher Miss Daisy was nice enough to draw a big mural in the hallway with a giant thermometer on it. Every time we read a lot of pages, she would make the temperature line go up.

Soon kids were bursting into our classroom and yelling, “Mrs. Biggs’s class has read another five hundred pages!” and “Miss Hasenfratz says to add another six hundred pages!” It was fun watching the temperature rise. At the end of the week, our school had read almost half a million pages!   Two weeks later, the big moment finally arrived. That Sunday night, everybody in the whole school showed up at school.

Now, books and movies present these planets more exactly, making science fiction more important than before. Imagine learning about stars in a classroom. You could start with complex (复杂的) pictures and facts, or you could watch the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker sees two suns from his home planet, Tatooine. Which will more easily awaken the interest of a sleepy high school class? Science fiction has always caught our attention and it has inspired (激励) scientists to go for their dreams. For this reason, it is sometimes used to communicate science to the public, even complex ideas. To be sure that this is a useful way, it is necessary to understand how science fiction shows actual science. Emma Johanna Puranen and her team from the University of St Andrews and the Austrian Academy of Sciences did some research, studying a lot of science fiction works, including novels, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and video games to see how science fiction reflects (反映) real scientific discoveries about exoplanets. “Most stories that are set in space will finally have a scene (场景) on an exoplanet,” explains Puranen. “The reason for using exoplanets is that there was a huge change in our scientific understanding in 1995 when the first exoplanet around a sun-like star was discovered.” “Traditionally in science fiction, mostly there have been Earth-like planets,” explains Puranen. “But what has changed since the discovery of real exoplanets is that the fictional exoplanets have actually become a bit less Earth-like.” According to real science, many exoplanets are very different from Earth and often not in the “Goldilocks zone”, where conditions are friendlier to life as we know it. “I can guess that maybe writers of science fiction are reading all these headlines about worlds that are covered in lava (岩浆) or where it’s raining diamonds, which you see in the media,” says Puranen. Science fiction, in a way, reflects the knowledge and discoveries of its time. This makes it a valuable tool for science communication. It can introduce people to new scientific ideas in an interesting and understandable way. This research highlights the connection between scientific discoveries and creativity. While exploring the universe, science fiction can develop curiosity (好奇心) and make further research possible, making the subject of exoplanets an important example of how science and imagination improve each other. 27．The writer mentioned the movie Star Wars to ________. A．explain what an exoplanet is like in a humorous way B．present the result of the latest research about exoplanets C．show an interesting way of sharing science with everyone D．introduce a popular scientific movie by a famous director 28．How has science fiction changed after the discovery of the first exoplanet? A．It gives more attention to Earth. B．It describes the Earth differently. C．Science fiction has lost interest in explaining exoplanets. D．Exoplanets in science fiction have become less Earth-like. 29．The words “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean ________. A．a space found on an exoplanet B．an important part of our solar system C．an area which is good for scientific activities D．a place that provides living environment for life 【答案】27．C 28．D 29．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了外行星的发现改变了科幻小说，而科幻小说以一种方式反映了其时代的知识和发现，这使其成为传播科学的宝贵工具。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“You could start with complex (复杂的) pictures and facts, or you could watch the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker sees two suns from his home planet, Tatooine. Which will more easily awaken the interest of a sleepy high school class?”可知，通过对比传统教学与电影《星球大战》的场景，强调科幻作品以生动方式激发兴趣，从而说明其作为科学传播手段的有效性，由此推知，作者提起《星球大战》是为了展示一种分享科学的有趣的方式。故选C。 28．细节理解题。根据第五段“But what has changed since the discovery of real exoplanets is that the fictional exoplanets have actually become a bit less Earth-like.”可知，自从发现外行星，科幻小说中的外行星就不再像地球了。故选D。 29．词义猜测题。根据第六段“According to real science, many exoplanets are very different from Earth and often not in the ‘Goldilocks zone’, where conditions are friendlier to life as we know it.”可知，Goldilocks zone是指一种地区，那里的条件对我们所知的生命更友好，结合选项可知，Goldilocks zone可能意为“为生命提供生存环境的地方”。故选D。 D Nature is full of amazing wonders, and these wonders have shaped the history of human beings. Thousands of years ago, the earliest human civilizations grew up near great natural rivers. The first one is Mesopotamian Civilization. It was born between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in West Asia. The two rivers brought plenty of water and rich soil, which helped people grow food easily. People here built the first cities and created one of the earliest writings — cuneiform. Its most brilliant culture lies in its legal (法律的) achievements, with the Code of Hammurabi (汉谟拉比法典) being one of the oldest and most complete written laws in human history. Next is Ancient Egyptian Civilization. It developed along the Nile River. Every year, it flooded (洪水泛滥) and left rich earth on the land, making the soil perfect for farming. Because of it, they created the solar calendar, which correctly matched with the Nile’s flooding cycles and guided their farming and daily life activities. Moreover, the Egyptians built great pyramids, a man-made wonder, thanks to the rich nature the Nile gave them. Ancient Indian Civilization rose on the Indus River. The river provided clean water and good farmland. People built planned cities with smart systems, showing their deep understanding of living with nature. Its city planning was unparalleled. For example, a city named Harappa had streets like today and advanced underground drainage systems. Isn’t that amazing? And One of the greatest achievements made by ancient Indians was to create numbers which now we call Arabic (阿拉伯的) numbers. They were first to create zero, which greatly improved mathematics around the world. Chinese Civilization started along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. They fed the land and helped ancient Chinese develop farming, create writing, and build colorful culture. The most shining part of its culture is its unique written language, from oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) to classical Chinese characters, which has kept thousands of years of history and thoughts and connected different generations of Chinese people. And as we all know, the four great inventions - Papermaking, Printing, Compass and Gunpowder have greatly influenced the whole world. The last one is Ancient Greek Civilization. Unlike the others, it grew on small islands and coastal areas. The natural environment made the Greeks good at sailing and trading.

This book describes World War Ⅱ from a child’s eyes. A nine-year-old German boy, Bruno, grows up in Berlin. He loves his peaceful life, with his parents, sister and three best friends. But after a visit from Adolf Hitler, Bruno’s father, Ralf, becomes the head of the death camp Auschwitz. Bruno and his family have to move there. He sees the wire fence (电线围栏) around the death camp, and the prisoners’ (犯人) uniforms—“striped pyjamas”. In the camp, he meets a Jewish boy from Poland named Shmuel. The two become good friends. It turns out that they share the same age and birthday. If you look deeper, the boys actually mirror each other. They are both naive (天真的) children, unaware of (未察觉) the bad times they live in. At the end of the book Bruno dresses in “striped pyjamas” and sneaks into the camp to help Shmuel find his missing father. After searching for a while and not finding anything, Bruno gets ready to sneak back home when the soldiers start gathering Jews for a “march”. They all enter a gas chamber (毒气室) and are never heard from again. This story tells us that people aren’t born bad or evil, and we are all more alike than different. Bruno and Shmuel wanted nothing more than a friendship, but because of the horrible world they were in, even that was just a dream. 34．Who is the writer of the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? 35．What is the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas about? 36．What do the two boys have in common?
