A．impossible B．kind C．clever D．polite 【答案】A 【详解】句意：对于我们来说，在两小时内完成这项工作是不可能的。 impossible不可能的；kind善良的；clever聪明的；polite有礼貌的。根据“finish the work in two hours”可知，此处强调在规定时间内完成工作的可能性，两小时时间较短，推测出是不可能的。 10．Liu Ming’s main job was to help athletes in wheelchairs ________. A．train for the games B．get on and off the bus C．win medals D．cook food 【答案】B 【详解】句意：刘明的主要工作是帮助坐轮椅的运动员上下公交车。 train for the games“为比赛训练”；get on and off the bus“上下公交车”；win medals“赢得奖牌”；cook food“做饭”。根据“athletes in wheelchairs”可知，帮助对象是行动不便的轮椅运动员。结合志愿者服务情境，上下公交车是轮椅运动员出行时最需要协助的环节，符合逻辑。 二、完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes.

Some students like doing volunteer work, while others don’t. So should students do volunteer work? I think they should. Here are my reasons. Doing volunteer work can help students get into colleges. Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college. Not all students go to college after leaving high school. If you think that those students don’t need to do volunteer work, you’re wrong. Students can get a lot of skills by doing volunteer work. ________. Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community. Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too. So doing volunteer work is good not only for the receiver but also for the giver. Now we can say that doing volunteer work is very important for students. So students should do volunteer work. 29．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Many children enjoy volunteering at college. B．Many colleges ask students to volunteer for them. C．Many colleges organize volunteer work for their students. D．Many colleges like students with experiences of doing volunteer work. 30．What can we put into the blank “________”? A．Doing volunteer work teaches you skills.

If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college”，说明许多大学看重学生做志愿者工作的时间，不做志愿者工作可能无法进入大学，也就是许多大学喜欢有做志愿者工作经历的学生。 30．第四段提到：“Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community”，此段主要围绕做志愿者工作能让人融入社区展开，B选项“We cannot live by ourselves in this world”能很好地引出下文关于社区的内容。 31．第五段提到：“Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too”，根据前文说做志愿者工作能帮助有需要的人，可知这里“assist”意思是帮助。 32．第一段提出学生是否应该做志愿者工作以及作者认为应该做并给出理由；第二到五段分别阐述了做志愿者工作能帮助学生进入大学、获得技能、融入社区以及帮助有需要的人等理由；第六段总结做志愿者工作对学生很重要，学生应该做志愿者工作。所以结构是①/②③④⑤/⑥。 C People usually think volunteering is just for adults. It seems hard for students like us. But it is completely different in Canada. The government encourages (鼓励) people of any age to volunteer and make contributions (贡献) to the whole society. So, if students want to graduate (毕业) from high school, 30 hours of volunteering is needed. If students want to get into a good university, it helps if they contribute a lot to society. Volunteering is an important point that universities will think about. Besides, there are volunteer chances everywhere. People can find information about how to volunteer posted in the library or on the Internet. It includes many different jobs, such as wrapping (包装) gifts in a shopping mall, taking care of small kids or cleaning up a church. Students can choose what they want to do and register online. I got my first volunteer job at New Westminster Museum every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. My job is to check the documents (文件) on a computer and correct mistakes. The museum is about the historically important family in New Westminster. At first, I was nervous to communicate with others. But as time passed, I became more open. During the volunteering, I not only learned how to work with other volunteers but also learned a lot of history about New Westminster. As a volunteer, I am proud of myself. I enjoy doing my job and helping others. 33．What is the main idea of the text? A．Volunteering is only for adults. B．Libraries provide many volunteer jobs. C．Volunteering helps students learn history. D．Canadian students must volunteer to graduate. 34．Where can students find volunteer chances in Canada? A．In the library or on the Internet. B．On the radio. C．In the newspaper or magazine. D．On the notice board. 35．The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 2 most probably means to ________. A．ask someone for help B．write down information C．sign up for an activity D．pay for the service 36．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The writer couldn’t really stand volunteering. B．The writer wants more adults to get a volunteer job. C．The writer was too nervous to take part in volunteering. D．The writer loves doing her job and will continue to do it. 【答案】33．D 34．A 35．C 36．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了加拿大鼓励各年龄段的人参与志愿者活动，特别是针对中学生毕业及升学的志愿者时长要求，并分享了作者自己在博物馆做志愿者的心得体会。 33．第一段指出加拿大政府鼓励所有人做志愿者，并明确提到：“So, if students want to graduate from high school, 30 hours of volunteering is needed.”。随后文章介绍了寻找志愿者机会的途径及作者的亲身经历，全文核心围绕加拿大中学生必须参与志愿者活动这一制度及实践展开。 34．第二段指出寻找志愿机会的途径：“People can find information about how to volunteer posted in the library or on the Internet.”。这直接说明在加拿大，学生可以在图书馆或互联网上找到志愿者机会。 35．第二段最后一句提到：“Students can choose what they want to do and register online.”。根据上下文逻辑，学生在选好心仪的工作后，需要在网上进行“报名/登记”操作，C项“报名参加活动”与之语义最为接近。 36．最后一段作者提到：“As a volunteer, I am proud of myself. I enjoy doing my job and helping others.”。通过作者表达出的自豪感以及对工作的喜爱，可以推断出作者非常热爱这份志愿者工作，并且会继续做下去。 D With the Year of the Rat coming up, I remember going out for Chinese food when I was a kid in the US. In Chinese restaurants, there are always plates with pictures of the zodiac animals (十二生肖). For most people in the US, this might be the deepest impression of Chinese culture. One time, we started to laugh after we learned that my aunt is a rat. We laughed because in our culture, rats are animals of very low position. They eat rubbish and cary diseases, so we think they are dirty. Because rats are sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的), we think of them as untrustworthy. Calling semeone a rat is very rude. It means we cannot trust him or her easily, or we will be cheated. As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people born in the Year of the Rat. I wondered whether they would be looked down upon by others. I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the zodiac for some reasons. Rats are thought to be animals that can bring people wealth. They are also able to give birth to lots of babies, which makes them a symbol of good luck—traditionally, Chinese people prefer to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to have intelligence as well. It is believed that sneaky animals must be clever. So now, I’m entering the new year with a fresh way of looking at rats. Perhaps I need to find a new understanding for other things—-animals, ideas or even people! 37．The writer gave ________ reasons to explain why Chinese people add rats to the zodiac. A．two B．three C．four D．five 38．From the passage, we know that ________. A．rats are animals of very low position in Chinese culture B．Chinese children born in the Year of the Rat are looked down upon C．rats are only seen as dirty animals in Chinese culture D．Chinese people believe rats are sneaky but clever animals 39．According to the passage, Phrase ________ can describe someone called a rat in US. A．油嘴滑舌 B．伶俐乖巧 C．背信弃义 D．言出必行 40．The writer mainly talks about ________. A．why American people don’t like rats B．what Chinese people think of rats C．how people see rats in different cultures D．who can find a new understanding for rats 【答案】37．B 38．D 39．C 40．C 【分析】本文主要讲述了不同国家的人对于“鼠”这个动物的看法，美国人认为老鼠吃垃圾，身上携带着病毒，称呼别人“老鼠”是非常不礼貌的，而在中国，老鼠被认为是能给人们带来财富的动物，以此作者认为自己需要找到一种对其他事物的新理解——动物、思想甚至是人！ 37．细节理解题。根据“Rats are thought to be animals that can bring people wealth” “They are also able to give birth to lots of babies”及“ Rats are believed to have intelligence as well”可知，一共给出了三条理由，故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据“Because rats are sneaky”及“Rats are believed to have intelligence as well”可知，中国人认为老鼠是狡猾但聪明的动物，故选D。 39．推理判断题。根据“Calling someone a rat is very rude. It means we cannot trust him or her easily, or we will be cheated”可知，叫某人是老鼠是很不礼貌的。这意味着我们不能轻易信任他或她，否则我们会被欺骗，所以用“背信弃义”这个词最能形容，故选C。 40．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文是作者通过美国和中国对“鼠”的看法来表达了不同文化的观点，故选C。 第二节、阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项 British culture has changed a lot over the years. 41 Many years ago, people spent most of their free time reading books or listening to the radio at home. They had few ways to enjoy themselves and hardly ever travelled to other countries. Today, things are very different. 42 With the help of new technology, they can get information from the Internet in seconds. Young people enjoy watching short videos, listening to popular music and chatting online with friends from all over the world. People’s eating habits have changed too. In the past, British people only ate traditional food like fish and chips, bread and sandwiches. They knew little about food from other countries. 43 You can easily find Chinese, Italian, Indian and Japanese restaurants in big British cities. More people are trying fresh and delicious food from different cultures. 44 More people are paying attention to traditional customs and they are proud of their own culture. They still celebrate big festivals like Christmas and Easter in their own ways. Families get together, share nice food and enjoy happy moments. All these changes show that culture grows with time. 45 Old traditions and new lifestyles join together to make British culture full of charm and energy. The same is true for cultures all around the world.Every culture has its own special features and values. As middle school students, we should respect different cultures, learn from each other and share our own culture with others. The Earth is just like a big village and people all over the world are one big family. A．But some old traditions are still important. B．Life is becoming more colourful and convenient. C．Now, they enjoy food from many other countries. D．People today have more ways to relax and learn. E．Many young people don’t like any old traditions now.

Culture shock is the uncomfortable f 46 of uncertainty that many people experience when they live in other surroundings. It is a quite natural part of being used to a new e 47 . Some good w 48 to successfully reduce and overcome (克服) culture shock are to read about the place where you will be staying and the things you will be doing, also, if possible, speak with someone who has already lived in the new environment.

B Some schools ask their students to do volunteer work. Some students like doing volunteer work, while others don’t. So should students do volunteer work? I think they should. Here are my reasons. Doing volunteer work can help students get into colleges. Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college. Not all students go to college after leaving high school. If you think that those students don’t need to do volunteer work, you’re wrong. Students can get a lot of skills by doing volunteer work. ________. Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community. Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too. So doing volunteer work is good not only for the receiver but also for the giver. Now we can say that doing volunteer work is very important for students. So students should do volunteer work. 29．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Many children enjoy volunteering at college. B．Many colleges ask students to volunteer for them. C．Many colleges organize volunteer work for their students. D．Many colleges like students with experiences of doing volunteer work. 30．What can we put into the blank “________”? A．Doing volunteer work teaches you skills. B．We cannot live by ourselves in this world C．You can make friends by being a volunteer. D．Helping others can make you feel good. 31．What does the underlined “assist” mean? A．push B．compare C．compete D．help 32．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． C People usually think volunteering is just for adults. It seems hard for students like us. But it is completely different in Canada. The government encourages (鼓励) people of any age to volunteer and make contributions (贡献) to the whole society. So, if students want to graduate (毕业) from high school, 30 hours of volunteering is needed. If students want to get into a good university, it helps if they contribute a lot to society. Volunteering is an important point that universities will think about. Besides, there are volunteer chances everywhere. People can find information about how to volunteer posted in the library or on the Internet. It includes many different jobs, such as wrapping (包装) gifts in a shopping mall, taking care of small kids or cleaning up a church. Students can choose what they want to do and register online. I got my first volunteer job at New Westminster Museum every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. My job is to check the documents (文件) on a computer and correct mistakes. The museum is about the historically important family in New Westminster. At first, I was nervous to communicate with others. But as time passed, I became more open. During the volunteering, I not only learned how to work with other volunteers but also learned a lot of history about New Westminster. As a volunteer, I am proud of myself. I enjoy doing my job and helping others. 33．What is the main idea of the text? A．Volunteering is only for adults. B．Libraries provide many volunteer jobs. C．Volunteering helps students learn history. D．Canadian students must volunteer to graduate. 34．Where can students find volunteer chances in Canada? A．In the library or on the Internet. B．On the radio. C．In the newspaper or magazine. D．On the notice board. 35．The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 2 most probably means to ________. A．ask someone for help B．write down information C．sign up for an activity D．pay for the service 36．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The writer couldn’t really stand volunteering. B．The writer wants more adults to get a volunteer job. C．The writer was too nervous to take part in volunteering. D．The writer loves doing her job and will continue to do it. D With the Year of the Rat coming up, I remember going out for Chinese food when I was a kid in the US. In Chinese restaurants, there are always plates with pictures of the zodiac animals (十二生肖). For most people in the US, this might be the deepest impression of Chinese culture. One time, we started to laugh after we learned that my aunt is a rat. We laughed because in our culture, rats are animals of very low position. They eat rubbish and cary diseases, so we think they are dirty. Because rats are sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的), we think of them as untrustworthy. Calling semeone a rat is very rude. It means we cannot trust him or her easily, or we will be cheated. As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people born in the Year of the Rat. I wondered whether they would be looked down upon by others. I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the zodiac for some reasons. Rats are thought to be animals that can bring people wealth. They are also able to give birth to lots of babies, which makes them a symbol of good luck—traditionally, Chinese people prefer to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to have intelligence as well. It is believed that sneaky animals must be clever. So now, I’m entering the new year with a fresh way of looking at rats. Perhaps I need to find a new understanding for other things—-animals, ideas or even people! 37．The writer gave ________ reasons to explain why Chinese people add rats to the zodiac. A．two B．three C．four D．five 38．From the passage, we know that ________. A．rats are animals of very low position in Chinese culture B．Chinese children born in the Year of the Rat are looked down upon C．rats are only seen as dirty animals in Chinese culture D．Chinese people believe rats are sneaky but clever animals 39．According to the passage, Phrase ________ can describe someone called a rat in US. A．油嘴滑舌 B．伶俐乖巧 C．背信弃义 D．言出必行 40．The writer mainly talks about ________. A．why American people don’t like rats B．what Chinese people think of rats C．how people see rats in different cultures D．who can find a new understanding for rats 第二节、阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项 British culture has changed a lot over the years. 41 Many years ago, people spent most of their free time reading books or listening to the radio at home. They had few ways to enjoy themselves and hardly ever travelled to other countries. Today, things are very different. 42 With the help of new technology, they can get information from the Internet in seconds. Young people enjoy watching short videos, listening to popular music and chatting online with friends from all over the world. People’s eating habits have changed too. In the past, British people only ate traditional food like fish and chips, bread and sandwiches. They knew little about food from other countries. 43 You can easily find Chinese, Italian, Indian and Japanese restaurants in big British cities. More people are trying fresh and delicious food from different cultures. 44 More people are paying attention to traditional customs and they are proud of their own culture. They still celebrate big festivals like Christmas and Easter in their own ways. Families get together, share nice food and enjoy happy moments. All these changes show that culture grows with time. 45 Old traditions and new lifestyles join together to make British culture full of charm and energy. The same is true for cultures all around the world.Every culture has its own special features and values. As middle school students, we should respect different cultures, learn from each other and share our own culture with others. The Earth is just like a big village and people all over the world are one big family. A．But some old traditions are still important. B．Life is becoming more colourful and convenient. C．Now, they enjoy food from many other countries. D．People today have more ways to relax and learn. E．Many young people don’t like any old traditions now. F．One big change is about people’s free-time activities. G．They also like to learn more about foreign languages. 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整的单词 It is common to experience culture shock (冲击) when living in a foreign country for a certain period of time.
