It came from the ____1____. “There’s a ghost (鬼) in the house!” Emma whispered. Ben laughed, but he was also a little ____2____. The next night, the sound came again. This time, it was louder. Ben decided to ____3____ the mystery (谜团). He took a flashlight and went upstairs. Emma followed him, shaking. They opened the attic (阁楼) door. The sound stopped. They saw an old box, some broken chairs, and a big painting of a man with a mustache. “Maybe the ghost is in the painting,” Emma said. Ben____4____ his eyes and walked closer. Suddenly, the sound started again—but this time, it came from the next ____5____ door! Ben and Emma ran to the window. They saw their neighbor, Mr. Jones, sitting in his backyard. He was playing the violin, but his earphones were on. He had no ____6____ that his music was so loud. Ben laughed. “It’s not a ghost! It’s just Mr. Jones practicing.” The next day, Ben went to Mr. Jones’s house. “Your violin sounds beautiful,” Ben said politely, “but our walls are thin. Could you play ____7____ at night?” Mr. Jones was very sorry. “I’m deaf (聋的) in one ear,” he explained. “I didn’t know it was so loud. I’ll practice in the basement from now on.” That night, there was no strange sound ____8____ the house. Ben and Emma could finally sleep. A week later, Mr. Jones came to their door with a small gift—a book of funny ghost stories. “For your ‘ghost hunters’,” he said with a wink (眨眼). Ben and Emma ____9____ the book. They learned that not every mystery is scary. Sometimes, the answer is _____10_____ than you think. 1. A. kitchen B. attic C. garden D. basement 2. A. excited B. bored C. nervous D. angry 3. A. give up B. look into C. run away from D. think about 4. A. closed B. opened C. washed D. hurt 5. A. school B. shop C. house D. park 6. A. time B. idea C. money D. chance 7. A. louder B. faster C. more quietly D. more beautifully 8. A. in B. on C. at D. for 9. A. wrote B. lost C. loved D. sold 10. A. harder B. scarier C. simpler D. more dangerous 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 8. A 9. C 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述Ben和Emma搬新家后深夜听到阁楼传来奇怪琴声，以为是鬼怪作祟，经调查发现是邻居Jones先生戴着耳机练琴且不知琴声扰民，最终误会化解，他们明白并非所有谜团都可怕，真相往往比想象中更简单。 【1题详解】 句意：这声音来自阁楼。 后文“went upstairs”“opened the attic door”表明声音来自attic“阁楼”，符合语境。kitchen“厨房”、garden“花园”、basement“地下室”均与后文“上楼去阁楼”的地点矛盾。 【2题详解】 句意：Ben笑了，但他也有点紧张。 后文整个解谜过程带着恐惧感，nervous“紧张的”符合语境。excited“兴奋的”、bored“无聊的”、angry“生气的”均不能体现“跟妹妹一样害怕”的心理。 【3题详解】 句意：Ben决定调查这个谜团。 take a flashlight上楼是为了look into“调查”谜团，符合语境。give up“放弃”、run away from“逃避”、think about“思考”均不符合“拿着手电筒上楼探索”的行动。 【4题详解】 句意：Ben睁大眼睛，走近了些。 向画走近观察时需要睁眼看清，opened his eyes“睁开眼睛”符合语境。closed“闭上”与观察探索的需求相反、washed“洗”、hurt“伤害”均不能表达“仔细端详”的动作。 【5题详解】 句意：但这一次，声音从隔壁房子的门传来！ Mr. Jones是邻居，坐在后院，所以声音来自隔壁的house。school“学校”、shop“商店”、park“公园”均不符合语境。 【6题详解】 句意：他完全不知道自己的音乐这么大声。 have no idea“不知道”是固定搭配，idea符合语境。time“时间”、money“钱”、chance“机会”均不能与had no构成“不知情”的惯用表达。 【7题详解】 句意：但我们的墙壁很薄，你晚上能拉得轻一些吗？ 墙壁薄所以要more quietly“更安静地”拉琴，符合语境。louder“更大声”、faster“更快”、more beautifully“更优美地”均与“墙薄隔音差”的请求矛盾。 【8题详解】 句意：那天晚上，房子里没有再传出奇怪的声音。 in the house“在房子里”是固定搭配，in符合语境。on“在……上”、at“在……点”、for“为了”均不能与the house搭配表示“在屋里”。 【9题详解】 句意：Ben和Emma非常喜欢这本书。 收到礼物书自然loved“喜爱”，符合语境。wrote“写”、lost“丢失”、sold“卖”均不符合“得到礼物”的正常反应。 【10题详解】 句意：有时答案比你想象的更简单。 not every mystery is scary说明真相simpler“更简单的”，符合语境。harder“更难的”、scarier“更可怕的”、more dangerous“更危险的”均与“不是所有谜团都可怕”的结论矛盾。 二. 阅读理解 A Born in 1927, Yang Shanzhou spent most of his life working for the government in Yunnan. When he retired (退休) at 61, Yang did not want to live comfortably in the city. Instead, he returned to his hometown. There, he spent the rest of his life planting trees. When Yang began his tree-planting project in the Daliang Mountains, the area had few trees and little water. Many families there were very poor. Yang believed that by planting a forest, he could make the environment and people’s life there better. The project needed a lot of hard work. For the first ten years, he lived in a small house with no bed and no lights. He also used his own money to pay the workers helping him with the project. Although the work was difficult, Yang would still like to plant a forest there. For 22 years, Yang kept planting trees. In 2009, when his health started to fail, Yang gave the forest to the government. He died the next year, as a local hero. Today, life for the people in the Daliang Mountains has become much better. Water now flows freely in the area and many important plants can grow. The great green forest acts as a living memory of Yang Shanzhou’s excellent and selfless (无私的) work. 11. When did Yang begin not to work for the government? A. In 1927. B. In 1968. C. In 1988. D. In 2009. 12. What was the Daliang Mountains like before Yang’s tree-planting project? A. It had a lot of trees and water. B. It had few trees and little water. C. It had a lot of trees and animals. D. It had few trees but a lot of water. 13. How did Yang make people in the Daliang Mountains live a happier life? A. By working for free. B. By giving them money. C. By planting lots of trees. D. By fighting against pollution. 14. Which can best describe Yang according to the passage? A. Hard-working but selfish. B. Smart and hard-working. C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Hard-working and patient. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. A Forest to the Government B. Hard life in the Daliang Mountains C. Yang Shanzhou’s Retired Life D. Yang Shanzhou and His Tree-planting Project 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了杨善洲扎根大凉山带领大家植树造林的事迹。 【11题详解】 第一段“Born in 1927, ... When he retired (退休) at 61”可知，1927年出生，61岁退休，也就是1988年不再为政府工作。 【12题详解】 第二段“When Yang began his tree-planting project in the Daliang Mountains, the area had few trees and little water”可知，那里几乎没有树和水。 【13题详解】 第二段最后一句“Yang believed that by planting a forest, he could help better the environment and people’s living conditions (条件) there”及最后一段证实了杨的想法，即种树可以让人们生活越来越好。 【14题详解】 第三段中“a lot of hard work”及“Although the work was difficult, Yang would still like to plant a forest there”可知，他工作努力；由第三段“...used his own money to pay the workers...”以及最后一段“... selfless (无私的) work”可知他是无私奉献的。两点结合，即为答案。 【15题详解】 通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了杨善洲扎根大凉山带领大家植树造林，所以适合本文的标题是：杨善洲和他的绿色森林。 B These days, many of us are no strangers to drones (无人机). We use them to take amazing pictures or send things. But a man in the US came up with a new idea. He turned his drone into a “Poopcopter” to pick up dog poop (粪便). Caleb Olson, 30, is an engineer. As the owner of a playful dog, Olson knows that cleaning up after a dirty dog is not enjoyable. “Lots of people have dogs, but nobody likes to touch dog poop,” he said. “I thought, ‘Why not make something to do this dirty work?” The “Poopcopter” is basically a drone with a camera on it. As the drone flies over a certain area, the camera looks for dog poop on the ground. Once it finds poop, the drone lands and picks it up before flying it to a rubbish bin. Olson toyed with other names for his invention (发明), such as the “Doo DooDrone”, but the “Poopcopter” won out in the end. “It’s like a little poop-picking helicopter (直升飞机),” he explained. “The name is short, but it tells the idea clearly.” The “Poopcopter” is still in the experimental (实验) stage. Olson is trying to make it work better. Then, he plans to sell it in the future. The simple design and materials mean that the “Poopcopter” could be cheap. Would you like to buy one for your dog? 16. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Poopcopter can play with dogs. B. Drones are strangers to us. C. Poopcopter helps clean up dog poop. D. Poopcopter is not a drone. 17. Why did Olson create the “Poopcopter”? A. Because he loved playing with drones. B. Because he disliked touching dog poop. C. Because he wanted to sell drones for money. D. Because he wanted to use it to play with his dog. 18. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The “Poopcopter”. B. The dog. C. The camera. D. The poop. 19. Why did Olson finally choose the name “Poopcopter”? A. His dog liked the name. B. It is a popular name in the U.S. C. It is easy to read and remember. D. It tells people what the drone does. 20. What can we know about the “Poopcopter” in the last paragraph? A. It can work perfectly. B. People can buy it now. C. Olson is still improving it. D. It can only clean Olson’s dog’s poop. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位美国工程师发明“Poopcopter”无人机来清理狗粪便的故事，包括发明原因、名称由来和发展现状。 【16题详解】 第一段明确指出：“He turned his drone into a ‘Poopcopter’ to pick up dog poop”，说明Poopcopter帮助清理狗粪便。 【17题详解】 第二段Olson说“nobody likes to touch dog poop...Why not make something to do this dirty work”，说明他发明Poopcopter是因为不喜欢触碰狗粪便。 【18题详解】 第三段提到“Once it finds poop, the drone lands and picks it up before flying it to a rubbish bin.”，一旦无人机发现粪便，就会降落并将其捡起，然后飞往垃圾桶把它投放进去。所以其中的“it”指代前文提到的“poop”。 【19题详解】 第四段Olson解释“The name is short, but it tells the idea clearly”，说明他选择这个名字是因为它清楚地说明了无人机的作用。 【20题详解】 最后一段指出“The ‘Poopcopter’ is still in the experimental stage. Olson is trying to make it work better”，说明Olson仍在改进它。 C Have you ever hugged (拥抱) a tree? Do you know hugging trees is good for us? Recently, many people have shared their stories of hugging trees online. Although it sounds unusual, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. A famous scientist ever said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Some studies have looked into why hugging trees can help with our health. A study shows that the act of tree-hugging can make the oxytocin (催产素) higher. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can help boost your oxytocin. Hugging trees is different from hugging people or animals. It gives us a chance to really get close to the tree. We can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of the leaves. The steadiness (稳固) of the tree makes us feel safe. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Trees often hold many things that are good for the environment. Many small animals live in the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees-just like how you hug a friend! 21. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By telling a joke. B. By sharing a story. C. By giving numbers. D. By asking questions. 22. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. make... go up. B. make... go by. C. make... go away. D. make... go back. 23. Why should we be careful when hugging trees? A. Because trees are too small to be seen. B. Because we may hurt their branches. C. Because we can enjoy ourselves in nature. D. Because we may hurt the living things in the trees. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hugging trees is better than hugging people. B. Trees can feel pain when people hug them. C. Hugging trees can make people feel calm and safe. D. People should hug trees as hard as they can. 25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. An Unusual Act: Hugging Trees B. The Science Behind Tree-Hugging C. Why Hugging Trees Is Good for Us D. How to Hug a Tree Safely 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“拥抱树木”这一行为对人类的益处及其背后的科学原理。文章指出，拥抱树木能促进人体分泌催产素，使人感到平静和快乐，同时也能让人通过与自然的亲密接触获得安全感。最后，文章提醒人们在拥抱树木时要注意保护自然和其中的小生物。 【21题详解】 文章开头使用了两个设问句：“Have you ever hugged a tree? Do you know hugging trees is good for us?”，通过提问的方式引出文章的主题。因此，作者是通过提问来开始这篇文章的。 【22题详解】 第三段提到，拥抱树木的行为可以使催产素水平升高，而催产素水平越高，人就会越平静和快乐。因此，“Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can help boost your oxytocin.”这句话的意思是，仅仅拥抱树木21秒就能帮助“提升”你的催产素水平。make... go up意为“使……上升/提升”，与“boost”意思最接近。 【23题详解】 文章最后一段指出，拥抱树木时要记住不要伤害自然，因为“Many small animals live in the tree and they are too small to be seen.”。这解释了为什么我们需要小心，以免伤害到树上的生物。 【24题详解】 文章第三段提到拥抱树木可以提高催产素水平，让人“calmer and happier”，第四段提到树的稳固感“made us feel safe”。综合这两点可以推断出，拥抱树木能让人感到平静和安全。 【25题详解】 本文的核心内容是探讨拥抱树木这一看似不寻常的行为背后，对人体健康有益的科学原因（如催产素的分泌）。虽然文章也提到了拥抱树木的好处和注意事项，但“背后的科学”更能概括全文的主旨。 三. 六选五填空 Guilin is one of China’s most famous tourist cities, known for its beautiful mountains and clear rivers. ____26____ The landscape (风景) looks like a traditional Chinese painting, with green peaks rising from the Li River. When you take a boat trip along the Li River, you will see many strange-shaped hills and peaceful villages. ____27____ Farmers work in the rice fields, and fishermen use cormorants (鸬鹚) to catch fish, just like their ancestors did hundreds of years ago.

Yang Shanzhou and His Tree-planting Project B These days, many of us are no strangers to drones (无人机). We use them to take amazing pictures or send things. But a man in the US came up with a new idea. He turned his drone into a “Poopcopter” to pick up dog poop (粪便). Caleb Olson, 30, is an engineer. As the owner of a playful dog, Olson knows that cleaning up after a dirty dog is not enjoyable. “Lots of people have dogs, but nobody likes to touch dog poop,” he said. “I thought, ‘Why not make something to do this dirty work?” The “Poopcopter” is basically a drone with a camera on it. As the drone flies over a certain area, the camera looks for dog poop on the ground. Once it finds poop, the drone lands and picks it up before flying it to a rubbish bin. Olson toyed with other names for his invention (发明), such as the “Doo DooDrone”, but the “Poopcopter” won out in the end. “It’s like a little poop-picking helicopter (直升飞机),” he explained. “The name is short, but it tells the idea clearly.” The “Poopcopter” is still in the experimental (实验) stage. Olson is trying to make it work better. Then, he plans to sell it in the future. The simple design and materials mean that the “Poopcopter” could be cheap. Would you like to buy one for your dog? 16. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Poopcopter can play with dogs. B. Drones are strangers to us. C. Poopcopter helps clean up dog poop. D. Poopcopter is not a drone. 17. Why did Olson create the “Poopcopter”? A. Because he loved playing with drones. B. Because he disliked touching dog poop. C. Because he wanted to sell drones for money. D. Because he wanted to use it to play with his dog. 18. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The “Poopcopter”. B. The dog. C. The camera. D. The poop. 19. Why did Olson finally choose the name “Poopcopter”? A. His dog liked the name. B. It is a popular name in the U.S. C. It is easy to read and remember. D. It tells people what the drone does. 20. What can we know about the “Poopcopter” in the last paragraph? A. It can work perfectly. B. People can buy it now. C. Olson is still improving it. D. It can only clean Olson’s dog’s poop. C Have you ever hugged (拥抱) a tree? Do you know hugging trees is good for us? Recently, many people have shared their stories of hugging trees online. Although it sounds unusual, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. A famous scientist ever said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Some studies have looked into why hugging trees can help with our health. A study shows that the act of tree-hugging can make the oxytocin (催产素) higher. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can help boost your oxytocin. Hugging trees is different from hugging people or animals. It gives us a chance to really get close to the tree. We can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of the leaves. The steadiness (稳固) of the tree makes us feel safe. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Trees often hold many things that are good for the environment. Many small animals live in the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees-just like how you hug a friend! 21. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By telling a joke. B. By sharing a story. C. By giving numbers. D. By asking questions. 22. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. make... go up. B. make... go by. C. make... go away. D. make... go back. 23. Why should we be careful when hugging trees? A. Because trees are too small to be seen. B. Because we may hurt their branches. C. Because we can enjoy ourselves in nature. D. Because we may hurt the living things in the trees. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hugging trees is better than hugging people. B. Trees can feel pain when people hug them. C. Hugging trees can make people feel calm and safe. D. People should hug trees as hard as they can. 25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. An Unusual Act: Hugging Trees B. The Science Behind Tree-Hugging C. Why Hugging Trees Is Good for Us D. How to Hug a Tree Safely 三. 六选五填空 Guilin is one of China’s most famous tourist cities, known for its beautiful mountains and clear rivers. ____26____ The landscape (风景) looks like a traditional Chinese painting, with green peaks rising from the Li River.
