C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了神奇的食肉植物捕蝇草的生长环境、捕食昆虫的原理，还讲述作者自己在家种植捕蝇草失败、请教园丁后调整养护方法成功的经历，并从中悟出遇事要冷静、不懂就请教专业人士的道理。 【1题详解】 句意：捕蝇草是世界上最令人惊奇的植物之一。 结合“能吃昆虫的植物”这一特性，amazing“令人惊奇的”符合“独特植物”的描述。common“普通的”、boring“无聊的”均不符合“捕蝇草的特殊性”。 【2题详解】 句意：为了获取足够的食物，它以苍蝇、蚂蚁等昆虫为食。 结合“获取营养”的目的，feeds on“以……为食”符合“食肉植物的生存方式”。looks for“寻找”、plays with“和……玩”均不符合“食用昆虫获取营养”的逻辑。 【3题详解】 句意：当昆虫短时间内触碰毛发两次时，叶片会突然快速闭合。 结合“快速闭合”的突发动作，suddenly“突然地”符合“捕蝇草的捕食机制”。slowly“缓慢地”、quietly“安静地”均不符合“快速闭合”的特点。 【4题详解】 句意：植物通常需要约10天完成这个过程。 结合“从闭合到消化昆虫的完整流程”，process“过程”符合语境。game“游戏”、story“故事”均与“消化昆虫”无关。 【5题详解】 句意：它们也不能被种植在普通土壤里，因为普通土壤太肥沃。 结合“家庭种植”的动作，planted“种植”符合“将植物种在土壤中”的语境。kept“保持”、mixed“混合”均不符合“种植”的动作逻辑。 【6题详解】 句意：如果你想种一棵，你应该先了解它的生活习性，为它的生长制定一个好计划。 结合“根据习性准备种植”的逻辑，plan“计划”符合“针对性种植准备”的语境。decision“决定”、wish“愿望”均不如plan贴合“具体准备”。 【7题详解】 句意：起初，它看起来很健壮。 结合后文“叶片变黄”的转折，strong“健壮的”符合“初期生长良好”的状态。weak“虚弱的”、small“小的”均不符合“初期健康”的描述。 【8题详解】 句意：我立即改变了我的计划。 结合“换土壤、减少浇水”的调整动作，changed“改变”符合“根据建议调整种植方式”的语境。forgot“忘记”、followed“跟随”均不符合“调整计划”的动作。 【9题详解】 句意：当我看到植物捕捉到第一只苍蝇时，我感到非常兴奋。 结合“见证自然奇迹”的积极情绪，excited“兴奋的”符合语境。sad“伤心的”、angry“生气的”均不符合积极情绪。 【10题详解】 句意：这段经历也教会我，当事情不如预期时，我们需要查明原因并再次尝试。 结合上下文，作者发现问题后去找原因并调整，因此是“找出问题所在”，find out“查明”符合语境。give up“放弃”、calm down“冷静下来”均不符合“查明问题根源”的逻辑。 三、阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） A Amazing Plants Around the World Plants are an important part of our planet, and some of them are truly amazing. They have developed special skills to survive in different environments, from the hot desert to the cold Arctic. Let's take a look at three of the most interesting plants in the world. The first one is the giant sequoia (红杉). It grows in California, USA. Giant sequoias are the largest trees on Earth. Some of them are more than 3000 years old and can grow up to 100 meters tall. Their trunks are so thick that a car can drive through a hole in one of them. The wood of the giant sequoia is very strong and resistant to fire, which helps the trees live for such a long time. Even if a fire burns part of the tree, it can still grow new branches. Next is the resurrection plant (复活草). It lives in the deserts of Mexico and Texas. This plant is famous for its ability to come back to life after being completely dry. When there is no rain, the resurrection plant rolls up into a ball and looks like it's dead. Its leaves become brown and hard, and it can stay like this for years. But when rain finally comes, the plant unfolds its leaves and turns green again in just a few hours. It can absorb water quickly and start growing once more. The third amazing plant is the rafflesia (大王花). It grows in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. The rafflesia has the largest flower in the world, which can be up to one meter in diameter and weigh up to 10 kilograms. But unlike most beautiful flowers, the rafflesia smells like rotting meat. This terrible smell attracts flies and beetles, which help the plant pollinate (授粉). The flower only blooms for a few days before it dies, and it is very hard to find in the wild because it grows underground for most of its life. These plants show us how creative nature can be. Each of them has found a unique way to survive in their harsh environments, and they remind us to respect and protect the natural world. 11. Where does the giant sequoia grow? A. In California, USA. B. In the deserts of Mexico. C. In the rainforests of Southeast Asia. 12. What is the giant sequoia known for? A. Its ability to come back to life. B. Being the largest tree on Earth. C. Having the largest flower. 13. What does the resurrection plant do when there is no rain? A. It grows new branches. B. It rolls up into a ball. C. It smells like rotting meat. 14. Why does the rafflesia smell like rotting meat? A. To attract insects for pollination. B. To keep animals away. C. To help it absorb water. 15. What can we learn from these amazing plants? A. Plants survive more easily than animals. B. Nature is full of creativity. C. All plants can live for thousands of years. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍三种奇特植物——巨型红杉、复活草、大王花的生长环境、独特特征及生存方式，展现自然的创造力。 【11题详解】 第二段明确提到：“The first one is the giant sequoia. It grows in California, USA”，即巨型红杉生长在美国加州。 【12题详解】 第二段指出：“Giant sequoias are the largest trees on Earth”，说明其以“地球上最大的树”闻名。 【13题详解】 第三段提到：“When there is no rain, the resurrection plant rolls up into a ball and looks like it's dead”，即复活草在无雨时会卷成球。 【14题详解】 第四段提到：“This terrible smell attracts flies and beetles, which help the plant pollinate”，即大王花的腐肉味是为了吸引昆虫授粉。 【15题详解】 最后一段明确指出：“These plants show us how creative nature can be”，说明我们能从这些植物中学到“自然充满创造力”。 B How to Make a Delicious Chinese Meal: Braised Pork Belly. Chinese food is famous all over the world for its rich flavors and variety. Braised pork belly (红烧肉) is one of the most popular traditional dishes in China. It is loved by people of all ages because of its soft and tender meat and sweet-savory sauce. Making braised pork belly may seem difficult, but with the right recipe and steps, you can make it at home easily.

Bring the water to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. This helps to remove the blood and impurities from the meat. Then take the pork out and rinse it with cold water. Dry the pork with a paper towel. (2) Fry the sugar: Heat a little cooking oil in a deep pan. Add the sugar and stir it over low heat until it turns into a golden brown syrup. Be careful not to burn the sugar, or it will taste bitter. (3) Sear the pork: Add the pork belly cubes to the pan and stir-fry them until each piece is coated with the sugar syrup and turns brown. This step gives the meat a nice color and flavor. (4) Add seasonings and water: Put the ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon stick into the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and stir well. Then add enough water to cover the meat completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. (5) Braise the pork: Let the pork simmer for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, until the meat is soft and tender. You can check the meat from time to time and add a little more water if needed. When the sauce becomes thick and coats the meat, turn off the heat. Braised pork belly is best served with steamed rice. The sweet and salty sauce goes perfectly with the fluffy rice, and it’s a meal that the whole family will enjoy. If you want to make it even more delicious, you can add some chestnuts or dried mushrooms during the braising process. 16. What is braised pork belly famous for? A. Its crispy skin. B.

What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you need to do to achieve your dreams? Making a good plan is the first step to turning your dreams into reality. Here are some tips to help you create a useful plan for your future. (1) Know your interests and strengths The first thing you need to do is to figure out what you like and what you are good at. Do you enjoy drawing? Are you good at math? Do you love helping people? Your interests and strengths can guide you to choose the right path. For example, if you like writing and are good at language, you might want to be a writer or a journalist. If you are good at science and enjoy doing experiments, a career in medicine or engineering could be a good choice. (2) Set clear and realistic goals Once you know your interests, it’s time to set goals. Goals should be clear and realistic. Don’t set a goal that is too hard to achieve, like “I want to be a famous singer in one year”. Instead, set small and achievable goals, such as “I will take singing lessons every week” or “I will join the school choir this term”. These small goals will help you make progress step by step and build your confidence. (3) Make a detailed to-do list After setting goals, you need to make a detailed to-do list. Write down all the things you need to do to reach your goals. For example, if your goal is to get good grades in English, your to-do list might include “read one English storybook every month”, “practice speaking English with a partner every day”, “take notes in English class” and “review grammar rules every weekend”. Make sure to set a time for each task on the list, so you can manage your time well. (4) Follow your plan and check your progress A plan is useless if you don’t follow it. Try to stick to your plan as much as possible. Every week or every month, check your progress. Did you finish all the tasks on your list? Did you make any progress towards your goals? If you find that you are falling behind, think about why and make changes to your plan. Maybe the task is too hard, or you didn’t give yourself enough time. Don’t be afraid to adjust your plan to make it work for you. (5) Stay positive and don’t give up There will be times when things don’t go as planned. You might face difficulties or failures, but don’t let them stop you. Stay positive and keep working hard. Remember that success doesn’t come overnight. It takes time and effort to achieve your dreams. If you make a mistake, learn from it and try again. Making a plan for your future is not just about choosing a career. It’s about learning to take control of your life and become a responsible person. Start planning today, and you will be one step closer to your dreams. 21.

To save time. B. To build confidence. C. To make the plan simple. 23. What should be included in a detailed to-do list? A. All tasks to reach goals and their time. B. Only the hard tasks. C. Just the fun activities. 24. What should we do if we fall behind the plan? A. Give up the plan. B. Forget the difficulties. C. Find reasons and adjust the plan. 25.

What will the world be like in 50 years? Will we live in smart cities? Will robots do all the work? Will we travel to other planets easily? Scientists and experts have different ideas about the future, and their predictions are both exciting and surprising. Smart Cities and Technology Many scientists believe that we will live in smart cities by 2075. In these cities, almost everything will be connected to the internet. Smart homes will control the temperature, lights and even the fridge automatically. Your fridge will order milk online when it finds that you have no milk left. Smart cars will drive themselves, so there will be fewer car accidents. Public transportation will be faster and more convenient, with high-speed trains and flying taxis taking people from one place to another in minutes. Robots and Work Robots have already started to take over some jobs, like working in factories and cleaning buildings. In the future, robots will do more and more work. Some experts predict that robots will do 50% of all jobs by 2075. This means that people will have more free time, but it also means that many people will lose their jobs. To prepare for this, people will need to learn new skills and find jobs that robots can't do, such as teaching, nursing and creative jobs like writing and painting. Space Travel and Living Space travel is becoming more and more popular. Companies like SpaceX are working hard to make space travel affordable for everyone. In 50 years, it may be common for people to take a vacation on the moon or even Mars. Scientists are also working on building permanent settlements on Mars. These settlements will have air, water and food, so people can live there for a long time. However, living in space will not be easy. It will be expensive, and people will have to get used to low gravity and living in a small space. Environment and Nature One of the biggest challenges for the future is the environment. Climate change is a serious problem, and we need to take action now to protect the planet. Scientists hope that by 2075, we will use only clean energy, like solar, wind and hydro power. There will be no more coal or oil power plants, so air pollution will be a thing of the past. We will also learn to protect endangered animals and plants, and many species that are now endangered will be saved. The world will be greener, with more forests and parks in cities. No one can predict the future exactly, but one thing is certain: we have the power to shape it. By working hard and making smart choices, we can create a future that is better for everyone. 26. What will smart fridges do in the future? A. Clean themselves automatically. B. Order food online when needed. C. Cook meals for the family. 27. What percentage of jobs may robots do by 2075? A. 30%. B. 50%. C. 80%. 28. What kind of jobs will people need to learn for the future? A. Jobs that robots can’t do. B. Jobs in factories. C. Cleaning jobs. 29. What is one difficulty of living on Mars? A. There is no air or water. B. It is too cold. C. Low gravity and small living space. 30. What energy will we use only by 2075 according to scientists? A. Coal and oil. B. Solar, wind and hydro power. C. Gas and electricity. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要预测了50年后（2075年）世界在智能城市与科技、机器人与工作、太空旅行与居住、环境与自然等方面可能发生的变化，并指出人类有能力通过努力和明智的选择塑造更好的未来。 【26题详解】 根据第二段中“Your fridge will order milk online when it finds that you have no milk left.”可知，智能冰箱会在需要时在线订购食物。 【27题详解】 根据第三段中“Some experts predict that robots will do 50% of all jobs by 2075.”可知，专家预测到2075年机器人将完成50%的工作。 【28题详解】 根据第三段中“people will need to learn new skills and find jobs that robots can't do”可知，人们需要学习新技能并寻找机器人无法完成的工作。 【29题详解】 根据第四段中“people will have to get used to low gravity and living in a small space”可知，生活在火星的困难之一是低重力和狭小的居住空间。 【30题详解】 根据第五段中“Scientists hope that by 2075, we will use only clean energy, like solar, wind and hydro power.”可知，科学家希望到2075年只使用太阳能、风能和水能等清洁能源。 四、词汇运用（30分） 第一节 根据句意及首字母提示写单词（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 31.

I ________ (see) an interesting film about future life yesterday. 【答案】saw 【解析】 【详解】句意：我昨天看了一部关于未来生活的有趣的电影。句中的时间状语“yesterday”表示过去，因此句子要用一般过去时，动词see需要变为过去式saw。 五、书面表达（20分） 46. 每个人都有自己的未来规划，初中生活即将过半，你对未来的学习和生活有怎样的计划？请以“My Plan for the Future”为题，写一篇英语短文，内容包括： 1. 你的未来目标（如学业、兴趣、职业等）； 2. 为实现目标你将采取的具体行动； 3. 你对未来的期待。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 My Plan for the Future Junior high school life is half gone, and I have made a plan for my future.

They have developed special skills to survive in different environments, from the hot desert to the cold Arctic. Let's take a look at three of the most interesting plants in the world. The first one is the giant sequoia (红杉). It grows in California, USA. Giant sequoias are the largest trees on Earth. Some of them are more than 3000 years old and can grow up to 100 meters tall. Their trunks are so thick that a car can drive through a hole in one of them. The wood of the giant sequoia is very strong and resistant to fire, which helps the trees live for such a long time. Even if a fire burns part of the tree, it can still grow new branches. Next is the resurrection plant (复活草). It lives in the deserts of Mexico and Texas. This plant is famous for its ability to come back to life after being completely dry. When there is no rain, the resurrection plant rolls up into a ball and looks like it's dead. Its leaves become brown and hard, and it can stay like this for years. But when rain finally comes, the plant unfolds its leaves and turns green again in just a few hours. It can absorb water quickly and start growing once more. The third amazing plant is the rafflesia (大王花). It grows in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. The rafflesia has the largest flower in the world, which can be up to one meter in diameter and weigh up to 10 kilograms. But unlike most beautiful flowers, the rafflesia smells like rotting meat. This terrible smell attracts flies and beetles, which help the plant pollinate (授粉). The flower only blooms for a few days before it dies, and it is very hard to find in the wild because it grows underground for most of its life. These plants show us how creative nature can be. Each of them has found a unique way to survive in their harsh environments, and they remind us to respect and protect the natural world. 11. Where does the giant sequoia grow? A. In California, USA. B. In the deserts of Mexico. C. In the rainforests of Southeast Asia. 12. What is the giant sequoia known for? A. Its ability to come back to life. B. Being the largest tree on Earth. C. Having the largest flower. 13. What does the resurrection plant do when there is no rain? A. It grows new branches. B. It rolls up into a ball. C. It smells like rotting meat. 14. Why does the rafflesia smell like rotting meat? A. To attract insects for pollination. B. To keep animals away. C. To help it absorb water. 15. What can we learn from these amazing plants? A. Plants survive more easily than animals. B. Nature is full of creativity. C. All plants can live for thousands of years. B How to Make a Delicious Chinese Meal: Braised Pork Belly. Chinese food is famous all over the world for its rich flavors and variety. Braised pork belly (红烧肉) is one of the most popular traditional dishes in China. It is loved by people of all ages because of its soft and tender meat and sweet-savory sauce. Making braised pork belly may seem difficult, but with the right recipe and steps, you can make it at home easily. Ingredients you will need: - 500 grams of pork belly (cut into 3-centimeter cubes) - 3 tablespoons of soy sauce - 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce - 1 tablespoon of sugar - 3 slices of ginger - 2 star anise (八角) - 1 cinnamon stick (桂皮) - 3 cloves of garlic (crushed) - Water (enough to cover the meat) - A little cooking oil Steps to cook: (1) Blanch the pork: Put the pork belly cubes into a pot with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. This helps to remove the blood and impurities from the meat. Then take the pork out and rinse it with cold water. Dry the pork with a paper towel. (2) Fry the sugar: Heat a little cooking oil in a deep pan. Add the sugar and stir it over low heat until it turns into a golden brown syrup. Be careful not to burn the sugar, or it will taste bitter. (3) Sear the pork: Add the pork belly cubes to the pan and stir-fry them until each piece is coated with the sugar syrup and turns brown. This step gives the meat a nice color and flavor. (4) Add seasonings and water: Put the ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon stick into the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and stir well. Then add enough water to cover the meat completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. (5) Braise the pork: Let the pork simmer for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, until the meat is soft and tender. You can check the meat from time to time and add a little more water if needed. When the sauce becomes thick and coats the meat, turn off the heat. Braised pork belly is best served with steamed rice. The sweet and salty sauce goes perfectly with the fluffy rice, and it’s a meal that the whole family will enjoy. If you want to make it even more delicious, you can add some chestnuts or dried mushrooms during the braising process. 16. What is braised pork belly famous for? A. Its crispy skin. B.

C Making a Good Plan for Your Future As a middle school student, you may start to think about your future. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you need to do to achieve your dreams? Making a good plan is the first step to turning your dreams into reality. Here are some tips to help you create a useful plan for your future. (1) Know your interests and strengths The first thing you need to do is to figure out what you like and what you are good at. Do you enjoy drawing? Are you good at math? Do you love helping people? Your interests and strengths can guide you to choose the right path. For example, if you like writing and are good at language, you might want to be a writer or a journalist. If you are good at science and enjoy doing experiments, a career in medicine or engineering could be a good choice. (2) Set clear and realistic goals Once you know your interests, it’s time to set goals. Goals should be clear and realistic. Don’t set a goal that is too hard to achieve, like “I want to be a famous singer in one year”. Instead, set small and achievable goals, such as “I will take singing lessons every week” or “I will join the school choir this term”. These small goals will help you make progress step by step and build your confidence. (3) Make a detailed to-do list After setting goals, you need to make a detailed to-do list. Write down all the things you need to do to reach your goals. For example, if your goal is to get good grades in English, your to-do list might include “read one English storybook every month”, “practice speaking English with a partner every day”, “take notes in English class” and “review grammar rules every weekend”. Make sure to set a time for each task on the list, so you can manage your time well. (4) Follow your plan and check your progress A plan is useless if you don’t follow it. Try to stick to your plan as much as possible. Every week or every month, check your progress. Did you finish all the tasks on your list? Did you make any progress towards your goals? If you find that you are falling behind, think about why and make changes to your plan. Maybe the task is too hard, or you didn’t give yourself enough time. Don’t be afraid to adjust your plan to make it work for you. (5) Stay positive and don’t give up There will be times when things don’t go as planned. You might face difficulties or failures, but don’t let them stop you. Stay positive and keep working hard. Remember that success doesn’t come overnight. It takes time and effort to achieve your dreams. If you make a mistake, learn from it and try again. Making a plan for your future is not just about choosing a career. It’s about learning to take control of your life and become a responsible person. Start planning today, and you will be one step closer to your dreams. 21.

D When Tomorrow Comes: What Will Our World Be Like? What will the world be like in 50 years? Will we live in smart cities? Will robots do all the work? Will we travel to other planets easily? Scientists and experts have different ideas about the future, and their predictions are both exciting and surprising. Smart Cities and Technology Many scientists believe that we will live in smart cities by 2075. In these cities, almost everything will be connected to the internet. Smart homes will control the temperature, lights and even the fridge automatically. Your fridge will order milk online when it finds that you have no milk left. Smart cars will drive themselves, so there will be fewer car accidents. Public transportation will be faster and more convenient, with high-speed trains and flying taxis taking people from one place to another in minutes. Robots and Work Robots have already started to take over some jobs, like working in factories and cleaning buildings. In the future, robots will do more and more work. Some experts predict that robots will do 50% of all jobs by 2075. This means that people will have more free time, but it also means that many people will lose their jobs. To prepare for this, people will need to learn new skills and find jobs that robots can't do, such as teaching, nursing and creative jobs like writing and painting. Space Travel and Living Space travel is becoming more and more popular. Companies like SpaceX are working hard to make space travel affordable for everyone. In 50 years, it may be common for people to take a vacation on the moon or even Mars. Scientists are also working on building permanent settlements on Mars. These settlements will have air, water and food, so people can live there for a long time. However, living in space will not be easy. It will be expensive, and people will have to get used to low gravity and living in a small space. Environment and Nature One of the biggest challenges for the future is the environment. Climate change is a serious problem, and we need to take action now to protect the planet. Scientists hope that by 2075, we will use only clean energy, like solar, wind and hydro power. There will be no more coal or oil power plants, so air pollution will be a thing of the past. We will also learn to protect endangered animals and plants, and many species that are now endangered will be saved. The world will be greener, with more forests and parks in cities. No one can predict the future exactly, but one thing is certain: we have the power to shape it. By working hard and making smart choices, we can create a future that is better for everyone. 26. What will smart fridges do in the future? A. Clean themselves automatically. B. Order food online when needed. C. Cook meals for the family. 27. What percentage of jobs may robots do by 2075? A. 30%. B. 50%. C. 80%. 28. What kind of jobs will people need to learn for the future? A. Jobs that robots can’t do. B. Jobs in factories. C. Cleaning jobs. 29. What is one difficulty of living on Mars? A. There is no air or water. B. It is too cold. C. Low gravity and small living space. 30. What energy will we use only by 2075 according to scientists? A. Coal and oil. B. Solar, wind and hydro power. C. Gas and electricity. 四、词汇运用（30分） 第一节 根据句意及首字母提示写单词（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 31. The panda is an a________ animal, and people all over the world like it. 32. My mother is good at cooking.
