17. Luckily
18. were 19. for
20. friendly
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者去万荣旅行的经历。
【11题详解】
句意:它是老挝最受欢迎的地方之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……之一”,修饰最高级用定冠词the。故填the。
【12题详解】
句意:许多的游客在冬天来这里放松。句中已有谓语动词come,此处应填非谓语动词。游客来这里的目的是放松,所以此处应填不定式作目的状语,故填to relax。
【13题详解】
句意:这个城镇有漂亮的群山和一个大森林。beautiful mountains与forest为并列关系,并且本句为肯定句,所以此处应用and连接。
【14题详解】
句意:人们能够在河上尝试有趣的和刺激的游戏。空格后是名词games,需要用形容词修饰。interest的形容词有两个:interesting形容物,意为“有趣的,令人感兴趣的”;interested形容人,意为“感到兴趣的”。games为物,应填interesting。

【17题详解】
句意:幸运的是,我和我的两个朋友在同一条船上。根据“my two friends and I were on the same boat.”可知,朋友和我在同一条船上,这是很幸运的,修饰句子用副词形式luckily,句首首字母大写。故填Luckily。
【18题详解】
句意:人越来越多。本句为there be 句型,be动词形式采用“就近原则”。句子的主语是“more and more people”,表示复数;由上下文时态可知,此处时态应用一般过去时,所以be动词的过去式复数形式为were。
【19题详解】
句意:对我们来说很难选择。It is + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth. 表示“对某人来说做某事是……”。所以填for。
【20题详解】
句意:到处都有友好的人们和令人愉快的活动。空格后是名词people,此处需填形容词。friend的形容词形式是friendly。

【21题详解】
文中明确提到:“Viruses usually get in through the nose and the mouth.”,因此病毒通常通过鼻子和嘴巴进入人体。
【22题详解】

One day, our English teacher Mr. White came into the classroom with a book in his hand. He started his lesson with a question, “Who can describe what stress is like?” No one answered. Then he raised the book and asked, “How heavy is the book?”
On hearing the question, we began to think and guess. One student said, “I think it is 100g.” A second student said, “It’s 200g. ” We had many answers. Finally, Mr. White explained. “It doesn’t only depend on the real weight. It also has much to do with the time we hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. This book stands for stress. If you hold it without putting it down, sooner or later, you will not be able to keep on. No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible. Boys and girls, you should learn to relax yourselves. I am sure you will live a happy school life.” We all thanked Mr. White for giving such a meaningful lesson.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了英语老师怀特先生通过“拿书”的比喻,向学生解释压力的本质,教导他们要学会适时放松、劳逸结合,以保持身心健康。
【24题详解】
根据第二段“This book stands for stress.”可知,老师怀特先生拿着书走进教室,开篇就问学生“谁能描述压力是什么样的”,随后用“书的重量”打比方讲解压力,说明他带书进教室是为了用书来比喻并解释什么是压力。
【25题详解】
第二段提到“It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”,怀特先生通过这个比喻,说明压力会随着时间推移变得越来越沉重。
【26题详解】
老师最后点明主旨:“No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible.”,即告诉学生有压力时要停下来休息一下。
C

第一段“The best way to keep cool in hot weather is to drink lots of water.”,直接给出热天里保持凉爽的最佳方法是喝大量水。
【28题详解】

Did you know technology is finding surprising new uses? Did you know it is now helping save wild animals? A few years ago, we could never have imagined how new tools could collect information about animals’ habits and movements. Today, however, this is already happening—and it helps stop some kinds of animals from diminishing.
The African elephant is the world’s largest land animal and there used to be as many as 5,000,000, but now there are only about 415,000 left. African elephants have to travel a long way to find food. This can cause problems for farmers. They sometimes kill elephants to protect their land. However, researchers now work with farmers to search elephants carefully using a special tool called “smart collar (项圈)”. It can give information about where the elephants are. It is now helping farmers save their land and elephants.
Like elephants, the number of tigers in the wild is fewer than 4,000 and this number is dropping quickly because some people are killing them. Researchers are hoping that they can change the situation. Camera traps (感应相机) with special cameras take videos of tigers as they walk past. All tigers have a different and special form of stripes (条纹)—a bit like human fingerprints (指纹). Live videos of tigers’ movements allow researchers to find each tiger so that they can follow them for years and protect the places where they live. This lets the tigers live safely without people killing them.
Besides these, more and more people share photos of wrong activities online, like hurting animals or cutting down forests. This helps us protect animals in danger.
31. How does the writer start the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By listing the numbers.
32. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. disappearing B. remaining C. growing D. falling
33. What can we know about “smart collar” from Paragraph 2?
A. It helps animals to find food.
B. It controls animals’ movements.
C. It helps researchers follow animals.
D. It makes the number of animals drop.
34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The drop in the number of tigers.
B. The danger to tigers from people.
C. A new way to watch and save tigers.
D. The living habits of tigers in the wild.
35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell how some animals live.
B. To show why we need smart tools.
C. To ask people to stop killing wild animals.
D. To explain how technology helps protect animals.
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科技在保护野生动物方面的创新应用,通过智能项圈、感应相机等工具,帮助追踪、保护大象和老虎等濒危动物,同时借助网络曝光不法行为,助力野生动物保护工作。
【31题详解】
文章开篇用两个问句“Did you know technology is finding surprising new uses? Did you know it is now helping save wild animals?”引出话题,因此作者是以提问的方式开篇的。
【32题详解】
文中提到“it helps stop some kinds of animals from diminishing”,结合下文大象、老虎数量减少的例子,可推断“diminishing”意为“减少、消失”,此处指动物种群的消失,与“disappearing”意思相近;“falling”通常指数量下降,但主语是“animals”而非“numbers”,搭配不当。
【33题详解】
第二段提到“smart collar…It can give information about where the elephants are.”,说明智能项圈能提供大象的位置信息,帮助研究人员追踪动物。
【34题详解】
第三段主要介绍了用感应相机拍摄老虎的活动视频,通过识别条纹追踪老虎并保护它们的栖息地,核心是介绍一种观察和保护老虎的新方法。
【35题详解】
全文围绕科技如何帮助保护野生动物展开,从智能项圈、感应相机到网络曝光,都在说明科技在动物保护中的作用,因此作者的写作目的是解释科技如何帮助保护动物。
第二节 阅读表达(共5题;每题2分,满10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Liu Ziqing, a 63-year-old Chinese man, fell in love with ballet (芭蕾舞) when he was a little boy. He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times.
However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said.
Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.”

【答案】36. Because he grew up in a poor family in a village.
37. At age 53./When he was 53 (years old).

40. No, I don’t think so. Liu’s story shows that if you really love something and work hard, you can start at any age./Yes, sometimes it can be too late. Some dreams, like becoming a professional sports player, might be very hard to start when you are much older, because your body is not as strong as a young person’s, or you are too busy with work and family.(答案不唯一)
【解析】

Dear Li Hua,
I’m sorry to hear about your problems. Here are some suggestions for you.
First, it’s important to understand your parents. They want you to learn useful skills through chores. You can work out a plan to make doing chores easier on everyone. Second, to make weekends meaningful, try new hobbies! You can read interesting books, or even cook simple meals. If you feel bored, call a friend to play sports outside. Remember, relaxing doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means spending time meaningfully.
I hope these ideas help! Keep positive, and you’ll find life more colourful.
Yours,
Liu Zheng

Did you know technology is finding surprising new uses? Did you know it is now helping save wild animals? A few years ago, we could never have imagined how new tools could collect information about animals’ habits and movements. Today, however, this is already happening—and it helps stop some kinds of animals from diminishing.
The African elephant is the world’s largest land animal and there used to be as many as 5,000,000, but now there are only about 415,000 left. African elephants have to travel a long way to find food. This can cause problems for farmers. They sometimes kill elephants to protect their land. However, researchers now work with farmers to search elephants carefully using a special tool called “smart collar (项圈)”. It can give information about where the elephants are. It is now helping farmers save their land and elephants.
Like elephants, the number of tigers in the wild is fewer than 4,000 and this number is dropping quickly because some people are killing them. Researchers are hoping that they can change the situation. Camera traps (感应相机) with special cameras take videos of tigers as they walk past. All tigers have a different and special form of stripes (条纹)—a bit like human fingerprints (指纹). Live videos of tigers’ movements allow researchers to find each tiger so that they can follow them for years and protect the places where they live. This lets the tigers live safely without people killing them.
Besides these, more and more people share photos of wrong activities online, like hurting animals or cutting down forests. This helps us protect animals in danger.
31. How does the writer start the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By listing the numbers.
32. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. disappearing B. remaining C. growing D. falling
33. What can we know about “smart collar” from Paragraph 2?
A. It helps animals to find food.
B. It controls animals’ movements.
C. It helps researchers follow animals.
D. It makes the number of animals drop.
34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The drop in the number of tigers.
B. The danger to tigers from people.
C. A new way to watch and save tigers.
D. The living habits of tigers in the wild.
35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell how some animals live.
B. To show why we need smart tools.
C. To ask people to stop killing wild animals.
D. To explain how technology helps protect animals.

Liu Ziqing, a 63-year-old Chinese man, fell in love with ballet (芭蕾舞) when he was a little boy. He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times.
However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said.
Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.”
