A. careful B. creative C. common D. curious 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——艾伦，你又在唱《孤勇者》了！——我喜欢“谁说站在光里的才算英雄？”这句歌词。它的意思是普通人也可以是英雄。 考查形容词辨析。careful小心的，仔细的；creative有创造力的；common普通的；curious好奇的。根据“Who said heroes have to stand within the light?”和“people can also be heroes”可知，此处指普通人也可以是英雄，所以应该用common。故选C。 2.

A. as well as B. as long as C. instead of D. rather than 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得城市漫步怎么样？——很棒。人们可以更多地了解他们的城市，也能在旅行中省钱。 as well as也、和；as long as只要；instead of代替、而不是；rather than而不是。根据语境，“了解城市”和“省钱”是并列的好处，用as well as连接两个并列的动作，符合句意。 4.

Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow. The scene was very powerful, as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. ice football In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government included the sport in military (军事的) training, as it could improve players’ endurance (耐力) and strength. downhill ice skating This sport was popular in the 18th century. On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length to create an ice track for competitors.

When these happen, we often face a choice: to react (反应) right away, or to respond (回应) thoughtfully (深思熟虑地)? These two words sound similar, but they are different ways to solve problems. Knowing the difference helps us make smarter choices. ②Reacting is what our brain does naturally — it’s fast, and it comes from our first feelings. Here are the situations: if you get a bad test grade, you might throw the paper angrily or say “I’m terrible!” without thinking. If a friend breaks your favourite pencil, you might shout at him before he says sorry. That’s reacting: something happens, strong feelings come, and you act without pausing (停顿). This often leads to regrets (后悔), because you don’t take time to cool down or see the whole picture. ③Responding, however, is more thoughtful. Before solving the problem, it helps to create more space. This space helps us to notice our feelings and understand the situation clearly. It may take longer time, but we’ll greatly avoid our regrets later. Four steps help us respond in a smart way: pause, process, plan, and act. ④This way of responding works for many kinds of problems. We might just forget our homework at home or have an fight with a friend. Instead of reacting right away, try the following four steps: first, stop and take three deep breaths. Second, say to ourselves how we’re feeling and find out what the problem is. Third, think about what choices we have. Fourth, choose the best one and do it. ⑤A study from UCLA shows that a simple thing works out well when we’re processing — speaking out our feelings like saying “I’m worried,” or “I’m angry.” It can greatly make us feel less worried, because we jump out of the situation to see the whole picture. ⑥At every crossroad, we may meet the unexpected moments. The choice between reacting and responding greatly affects our life journey. By practicing the art of thoughtful response again and again, we change the unexpected into chances for improving ourselves. 30. According to the passage, which two adjectives best describe “reacting”? A. Fast and thoughtful. B. Slow and natural. C. Fast and natural. D. Slow and unexpected. 31. How does the writer explain the idea of reacting in Para. 2? A. By giving examples. B. By listing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By asking questions. 32. Which shows the right order of the 4 responding steps from the passage? (You forgot to bring your book to school ...) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 A Take 3 deep breaths. Run to ask the teacher at once. “Why did I forget?” "Could I borrow one from others?” B Close eyes for 3 seconds. “The real problem is that I have no book.” “Could I borrow one from Amy or ask the teacher for help?” Go to ask Amy politely. C Take 3 slow breaths. “Could I borrow one from Tom or ask the teacher for help?” Ask Tom for help. “Did I check my bag before?” D “Oh no! I forgot my book!” Take 3 deep breaths. “Why didn’t mom check my bag?” Call mom in class. A. A B. B C. C D. D 33. What is the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】30. C 31. A 32. B 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“反应”和“回应”的区别，指出“回应”是更明智的问题解决方式，并介绍了四个步骤。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Reacting is what our brain does naturally — it’s fast, and it comes from our first feelings.”和“you act without pausing”可知，“反应”是快速和自然的。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。第二段通过举例子（考试得低分、朋友弄坏铅笔）来解释“反应”的概念。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“first, stop and take three deep breaths. Second, say to ourselves how we’re feeling and find out what the problem is. Third, think about what choices we have. Fourth, choose the best one and do it.”可知：首先，停下来，深呼吸三次。第二，告诉自己我们的感受，找出问题所在。第三，想想我们有什么选择。第四，选择最好的一个并去做。由此推知，B选项符合这四个步骤的顺序。故选B。 【33题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段引出“反应”和“回应”的区别，第二段介绍“反应”，第三至五段介绍“回应”及其步骤，第六段总结，因此结构是“引入—反应—回应—总结”。故选C。 C Zheng He, the Columbus (哥伦布) of the East, was an amazing man. He is the most important Chinese adventurer (探险家) of all time and one of the greatest sailors the world has ever known. He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao. Eleven years later, a rich young man called Zhu Di caught him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di became the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government and gave him a new name—Zheng He. The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He travelled to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even horses, Zheng He’s fleet (船队) was much larger than Europeans’ for over 500 years. On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery(珠宝), foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe. It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He. 34. Why did the Chinese King want Zheng He to sail to many different countries? A. To bring new countries under the control of China. B. To show other countries how strong the King was. C. To receive gifts from the kings of other countries. D. To discover unusual animals. 35. What do we know about Zheng He from the passage? A. He travelled around the world. B. Each of his trips lasted two years. C. He died at the age of 62. D. He was a successful businessman. 36. Which of the following did Zheng He NOT bring with him from other countries? A. Medicine. B. Gold. C. Strange animals. D. Jewellery. 37. In what order did the following happen? a. Zhu Di became the King. b. A young rich man caught Zheng He. c. The new king burned all the books about Zheng He. d. Zheng He brought foreigners to China. e. Zheng He visited India. f. The King ordered people to build new ships. A. e, b, a, f, d, c B. b, a, e, d, c, f C. f, a, b, d, c, e D. b, a, f, e, d, c 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. A 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国明代著名航海家郑和的生平事迹，包括他七次下西洋的壮举、船队的规模、交流的成果，以及其记录被毁的历史遗憾。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader.”可知，中国皇帝想让郑和航行到许多不同的国家，向其他国家展示他是多么的强大。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao.”和最后一段中“After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels.”可知，郑和于1371年出生，死于1433年，故他是在62岁时去世的。故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery(珠宝), foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.”可知，郑和每次旅行回来都带着装满贵重物品的船，比如黄金和珠宝，外国客人和奇怪的动物。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao. Eleven years later, a rich young man called Zhu Di caught him.”以及“In 1403 Zhu Di became the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government and gave him a new name— Zheng He.”；第三段中“The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He travelled to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East.”；最后一段中“He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery(珠宝), foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.”和“After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels.”可知，事情发生的顺序为：一个年轻的富人抓住了郑和→朱棣成了皇帝→皇帝命令人们建造新船→郑和出访印度→郑和把外国人带到了中国→新皇帝烧掉了几乎所有关于郑和的书。故选D。 D (Nancy lives with Bill Sikes, a dangerous thief (小偷), and she is also part of the criminal world he belongs to. Oliver is a young orphan (孤儿) who is in danger, as Sikes plans to harm him.) Scene One Nancy had known Sikes for a long time. She had learned to read his moods by the sound of his footsteps and the look in his eyes. That night, the dark room smelled of smoke and damp (潮湿的) walls. Shadows (阴影) moved on the walls, making the room feel smaller and colder. As Sikes spoke of Oliver, his voice was calm, which scared her more than his anger. “You’ll do as I say,” he told her. Nancy said nothing, but his words lay heavily on her mind. She held the table hard, trying not to shake. Scene Two Later, when Sikes had gone out, Nancy sat alone. The house was silent except for the floor making noise. She thought of Oliver—small, helpless, and surrounded by people who wanted to hurt him. “I’m no better than the rest,” she said to herself. “But he is different.” The cold wind pressed against the window, making the room feel even lonelier. At last, she stood up, pulled her coat closely around her, and went out into the dark streets, where street lights shone on the wet stone road. Scene Three Nancy met Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow in secret. Fog was around their feet. Nancy spoke quickly and every time she heard voices far away, she looked back. “I am the cause of all this…I am not worth your notice or your kindness. I don’t ask you to pity me,” she said. “—only to protect the boy.” They listened in silence. When she finished, Rose reached for her hand, but Nancy drew it back (抽回). “It’s enough that you know,” Nancy said. “I must go.” Scene Four Nancy returned to Sikes. The room still smelled of smoke. A cold wind came through the small window, making the curtains move a little. She knew what her choice might cost her, but she did not regret it. Sikes sat on a wooden chair, his eyes fixed on her as if trying to read her mind. “You’ve been out,” he said. Nancy stood near the door, her hands folded in front. “Yes,” Nancy answered. Nothing more was said, but the danger had already begun. —Adapted from Oliver Twist 38. What scared Nancy most according to Scene One? A. Sikes’ shouting. B. Sikes’ calm voice. C. Shadows on the wall. D. The smell of smoke. 39. What can we infer about Nancy from her words in Scene Three? A. She planned to leave London. B. She expected to punish Sikes. C. She cared more about Oliver than herself. D. She wished Rose and Brownlow to save her. 40. How did Nancy’s feelings change from Scene Two to Scene Four? A. Calm → nervous → angry B.

The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: *Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. *Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. *Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may never reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 67.

There were three arches (拱门) put on the ice, with a silk ball hung by a rope in the middle of each arch. Players would skate across the ice, led by a person with a flag. Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow. The scene was very powerful, as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. ice football In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government included the sport in military (军事的) training, as it could improve players’ endurance (耐力) and strength. downhill ice skating This sport was popular in the 18th century. On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length to create an ice track for competitors. Wearing ice skates, competitors would take turns to slide (滑行) down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could. Those who made it down the slope without falling would be the winner. The sport was dangerous and carried a high risk of injury (损伤). 26. Group work is very important in ________. A. archery on ice and ice football B. ice football and downhill ice skating C. archery on ice and downhill ice skating D. archery on ice, ice football and downhill ice skating 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Downhill ice skating first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. B. Players competed to hit the silk ball before passing through the arch. C. It’s not so hard to win the match of downhill ice skating without getting hurt. D. With a strong mind and full strength, one team may be the winner of Ice football. 28. What can we infer (推断) about the three sports mentioned in the passage? A. All of them were first invented during the Qing Dynasty. B. They all required players to wear ice skates. C. They were all once used for military training. D. They all took place on ice and required physical skill. 29. In which column (栏目) of a newspaper may we read the passage most probably? A. Modern ice sports B. Interesting ancient competitions C. Beauty of Chinese culture D. Olympics in the Qing Dynasty B ①Life is full of unexpected moments — like a sudden test or a friend forgetting our plans. When these happen, we often face a choice: to react (反应) right away, or to respond (回应) thoughtfully (深思熟虑地)? These two words sound similar, but they are different ways to solve problems. Knowing the difference helps us make smarter choices. ②Reacting is what our brain does naturally — it’s fast, and it comes from our first feelings. Here are the situations: if you get a bad test grade, you might throw the paper angrily or say “I’m terrible!” without thinking. If a friend breaks your favourite pencil, you might shout at him before he says sorry. That’s reacting: something happens, strong feelings come, and you act without pausing (停顿). This often leads to regrets (后悔), because you don’t take time to cool down or see the whole picture. ③Responding, however, is more thoughtful. Before solving the problem, it helps to create more space. This space helps us to notice our feelings and understand the situation clearly. It may take longer time, but we’ll greatly avoid our regrets later. Four steps help us respond in a smart way: pause, process, plan, and act. ④This way of responding works for many kinds of problems. We might just forget our homework at home or have an fight with a friend. Instead of reacting right away, try the following four steps: first, stop and take three deep breaths. Second, say to ourselves how we’re feeling and find out what the problem is. Third, think about what choices we have. Fourth, choose the best one and do it. ⑤A study from UCLA shows that a simple thing works out well when we’re processing — speaking out our feelings like saying “I’m worried,” or “I’m angry.” It can greatly make us feel less worried, because we jump out of the situation to see the whole picture. ⑥At every crossroad, we may meet the unexpected moments. The choice between reacting and responding greatly affects our life journey. By practicing the art of thoughtful response again and again, we change the unexpected into chances for improving ourselves. 30. According to the passage, which two adjectives best describe “reacting”? A. Fast and thoughtful. B. Slow and natural. C. Fast and natural. D. Slow and unexpected. 31. How does the writer explain the idea of reacting in Para. 2? A. By giving examples. B. By listing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By asking questions. 32. Which shows the right order of the 4 responding steps from the passage? (You forgot to bring your book to school ...) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 A Take 3 deep breaths. Run to ask the teacher at once. “Why did I forget?” "Could I borrow one from others?” B Close eyes for 3 seconds. “The real problem is that I have no book.” “Could I borrow one from Amy or ask the teacher for help?” Go to ask Amy politely. C Take 3 slow breaths. “Could I borrow one from Tom or ask the teacher for help?” Ask Tom for help. “Did I check my bag before?” D “Oh no! I forgot my book!” Take 3 deep breaths. “Why didn’t mom check my bag?” Call mom in class. A. A B. B C. C D. D 33. What is the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C Zheng He, the Columbus (哥伦布) of the East, was an amazing man. He is the most important Chinese adventurer (探险家) of all time and one of the greatest sailors the world has ever known. He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao. Eleven years later, a rich young man called Zhu Di caught him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di became the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government and gave him a new name—Zheng He. The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He travelled to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even horses, Zheng He’s fleet (船队) was much larger than Europeans’ for over 500 years. On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery(珠宝), foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe. It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He. 34. Why did the Chinese King want Zheng He to sail to many different countries? A. To bring new countries under the control of China. B. To show other countries how strong the King was. C. To receive gifts from the kings of other countries. D. To discover unusual animals. 35.

Oliver is a young orphan (孤儿) who is in danger, as Sikes plans to harm him.) Scene One Nancy had known Sikes for a long time. She had learned to read his moods by the sound of his footsteps and the look in his eyes. That night, the dark room smelled of smoke and damp (潮湿的) walls. Shadows (阴影) moved on the walls, making the room feel smaller and colder. As Sikes spoke of Oliver, his voice was calm, which scared her more than his anger. “You’ll do as I say,” he told her. Nancy said nothing, but his words lay heavily on her mind. She held the table hard, trying not to shake. Scene Two Later, when Sikes had gone out, Nancy sat alone. The house was silent except for the floor making noise. She thought of Oliver—small, helpless, and surrounded by people who wanted to hurt him. “I’m no better than the rest,” she said to herself. “But he is different.” The cold wind pressed against the window, making the room feel even lonelier. At last, she stood up, pulled her coat closely around her, and went out into the dark streets, where street lights shone on the wet stone road. Scene Three Nancy met Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow in secret. Fog was around their feet. Nancy spoke quickly and every time she heard voices far away, she looked back. “I am the cause of all this…I am not worth your notice or your kindness. I don’t ask you to pity me,” she said. “—only to protect the boy.” They listened in silence. When she finished, Rose reached for her hand, but Nancy drew it back (抽回). “It’s enough that you know,” Nancy said. “I must go.” Scene Four Nancy returned to Sikes. The room still smelled of smoke. A cold wind came through the small window, making the curtains move a little. She knew what her choice might cost her, but she did not regret it. Sikes sat on a wooden chair, his eyes fixed on her as if trying to read her mind. “You’ve been out,” he said. Nancy stood near the door, her hands folded in front. “Yes,” Nancy answered. Nothing more was said, but the danger had already begun. —Adapted from Oliver Twist 38. What scared Nancy most according to Scene One? A. Sikes’ shouting. B. Sikes’ calm voice. C. Shadows on the wall. D. The smell of smoke. 39. What can we infer about Nancy from her words in Scene Three? A. She planned to leave London. B. She expected to punish Sikes. C. She cared more about Oliver than herself. D. She wished Rose and Brownlow to save her. 40. How did Nancy’s feelings change from Scene Two to Scene Four? A. Calm → nervous → angry B. Angry → uneasy → calm C. Uneasy → angry → calm D. Uneasy → nervous → calm 41. Each following picture matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A. Scene One. B. Scene Two. C. Scene Three. D.

The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: *Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. *Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. *Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may never reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 67.
