One day, he made a bet with his friends at the club: he could travel around the world in eighty days. All his friends thought it was impossible, but Mr Fogg was sure he could do it. That same evening, he left London with his servant Passepartout, and started their amazing journey. ______ They took the train to France, then a ship to India. In India, they saved a beautiful young woman named Aouda, who was going to be killed in a local tradition. Aouda joined them on their journey, and they became good friends. During the trip, they met many difficulties. There was a terrible storm on the sea when they were travelling to Hong Kong. The ship was almost broken, and they lost a lot of time. The biggest trouble was Detective Fix. Fix followed them all the way because he thought Mr Fogg was a bank robber, and he followed them all around the world, trying to arrest them. But Mr Fogg never gave up. He always found a way to solve the problems. When the railway stopped in the middle of India, he bought an elephant to continue the trip. When they missed the ship to Japan, he hired a small boat to get there. He cared more about keeping his promise to his friends, and making sure his travelling companions were safe. After many adventures, Mr Fogg and his friends finally returned to London. They thought they had missed the deadline, but later they found out they had arrived one day earlier, because they had travelled east around the world. Mr Fogg won the bet, and he also found true love with Aouda. 节选自英文改写版《Around the World in Eighty Days》 27.

D Did you take part in any tree-planting activities this past March 12? Or maybe you went to check out the little tree you planted a few years ago? Standing beside it, you might have been amazed at how much it has changed. It’s really great to watch a tree grow year by year. Even the tallest ones of them grow from tiny seeds (种子). Have you ever wondered how? A full-grown tree may drop hundreds or even thousands of seeds a year. Inside each seed is something called an embryo(胚). Think of it as a small group of cells (细胞). These cells are ready to form roots, stems (茎), and first leaves. Once the covering around the seed gets wet, the embryo cells, which have been patiently waiting, suddenly come to life. They start to grow and break out. This is called germination. First, the roots develop and push out and down into the soil. This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil. Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves. As these leaves produce “food” in the sunlight, the plant gets the energy to grow more new leaves. Let’s imagine you drive a nail (钉子) into a tree at one metre above the ground. What will you see when you come back in ten years? The tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one metre above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top. At the same time, their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards. It is like the tree has two different ways of growing at the same time. The upward growth is like a race towards the sky, reaching for more sunlight, while the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support. As trees get older, they continue to grow taller and thicker. Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 metres! That’s as tall as a 30-floor building! Isn’t it amazing? 31. Which one of the pictures shows the stage of germination? A. B. C. D. 32. Why does the writer use the example of driving a nail into a tree in Paragraph 4? A. To explain why people put nails in trees. B. To help readers understand how trees grow taller. C. To show that nails don’t stop trees from growing. D. To teach readers a way to record the growth of trees. 33. If a tree trunk gets thicker over time, what will happen to a metal ring (金属环) put around the bottom of the trunk after 10 years? A. The metal ring will go into the soil. B. The metal ring will be higher off the ground. C. The metal ring will move up and down along the trunk. D. The metal ring will stay at the same height but may embed (嵌入) in the tree. 34. From the article, we can find the answer to the question “__________” ①How do trees get water from the soil? ②Why does a nail in a tree trunk stay at the same height over time? ③How many seeds does a full-grown tree drop in its lifetime? ④How tall can the tallest trees in the world grow? ⑤How long does a seed take to grow leaves? A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ②④⑤ D. ①②④ 35. Which of the following best represents the structure of the passage? A. Tell stories → List facts → Give a warning B. Ask questions → Explain steps → Share a fact C. List problems → Study reasons → Offer advice D. Share experiences → Show examples → Introduce features 非选择题(共50分) 五、填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) A) (共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据括号中所给中文提示或音标写出单词 Mom says we are going to the park. Simple, right?

As a translator, musician and mother of two, Janet Gesme speaks English, German, Russian, and Spanish. She fully understands Christopher’s intentions (意图) and has managed to express each idea in his voice. We recently had the chance to interview Gesme, who provided us with some fantastic insights. How does a US/English-speaking reader differ from a European/German-speaking one? The German-speaking readers are usually more patient and willing to read longer texts for a better understanding of an idea. But that is not the case with Christopher Schacht’s book. He writes quick, exciting, short stories that make you laugh and make your eyes pop out in surprise. There was no need to change the style: his writing is exactly what an English-speaking reader loves. What were the challenges or joys of translating Around the World on 50 Bucks? First, we were on a short timeline, so I needed to translate the whole book in three months. That meant a lot of late nights. The second challenge was Christopher’s sense of humour. Some of his humour is based on German culture that is very hard to translate. This leads into the joys as well. Christopher and I communicated online weekly while translating the book. We brainstormed together on how to find English equivalents (对应词) for the German style of humour. One of the themes of this book is communicating through barriers. From your point of view, how would someone interested in travelling best learn a new language in a strange place? Christopher has great tips for this in the book: Use apps and dictionaries to learn as many words ahead of time as possible. When travelling, you often have to wait a lot. This is the perfect time to learn. Then talk to people. You will make mistakes and it will be hard, but it is helpful and you’ll gain a lot. Janet Gesme and Around the World on 50 Bucks About the book It is about Christopher Schacht’s ____56____ around 45 countries, which covered 65,000 miles. Its original version (最初版本) is in German. About the translator Janet Gesme is a translator, musician and a mother of two. She understands Christopher’s intentions and has ____57____ expressed each idea in his voice in English. About the book translation The differences between readers · The German-speaking readers are more patient and willing to read longer texts. · Schacht's short writing exactly ____58____ the habits of English-speaking readers, so Gesme could translate the book without changing the style. The challenges and joys Janet Gesme had to stay up late to translate the book.She had ____59____ in translating Christopher's humour. The joys came from the online ____60____ with Christopher, which means they brainstormed together. About Gesme’s tips The way to pick up a new language · Learn words with the ____61____of apps and dictionaries before you travel. Learn while ____62____ during your travel. Talk to people and learn from mistakes. What other ways can also help you learn new words well? _____________63_____________ From the interview with Gesme, what ability do you think a translator should have? _____________64_____________ 七、首字母填空(共10小题，每题0.5分，共5分) The Slender West Lake r____65____ in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province.

None of them knew what happened ________ we told them about it. A. since B. after C. until D. although 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：直到我们告诉他们这件事，他们中没有一个知道发生了什么。 since自从；after在……之后；until直到……为止；although虽然。句中“None”表示否定含义，结合句意可知，此处是until引导时间状语从句，常用于否定句中，意为“直到……才……"。 3. —May I ask someone to take my place? —Sorry, you can’t.

To help students grow up healthily, our school will hold a series of activities and put forward some suggestions. Please read carefully and follow them. First, students should learn to be independent. Try to finish homework by yourselves and help parents do housework at home, such as cleaning rooms, washing dishes and folding clothes. This helps develop a sense of responsibility. Second, communicate more with your parents and teachers. When you meet difficulties in study or life, don’t keep them to yourselves. Talk to your parents or teachers, and they will give you help and guidance. Third, take part in after-school activities. Our school will hold a “Growing Up” speech contest on May 15th. Students who are interested can sign up at the teacher’s office before May 10th. The contest helps students express their feelings about growing up. We hope all students can grow up happily and become responsible people. If you have any questions, please call the school office at 87654321. 24. What should students do to develop a sense of responsibility? A. Ask parents to do all housework. B. Finish homework by themselves and help with housework. C. Only focus on study. D.

This helps develop a sense of responsibility.”，因此学生应独立完成作业并帮助做家务以培养责任感。 【25题详解】 第四段明确提到“Our school will hold a ‘Growing Up’ speech contest on May 15th.”，因此演讲比赛在5月15日举行。 【26题详解】 第三段提到“communicate more with your parents and teachers... they will give you help and guidance.”，因此与父母和老师沟通对学生的成长有帮助。 C Phileas Fogg was a rich English gentleman, who lived a very regular life. One day, he made a bet with his friends at the club: he could travel around the world in eighty days. All his friends thought it was impossible, but Mr Fogg was sure he could do it. That same evening, he left London with his servant Passepartout, and started their amazing journey. ______ They took the train to France, then a ship to India. In India, they saved a beautiful young woman named Aouda, who was going to be killed in a local tradition. Aouda joined them on their journey, and they became good friends. During the trip, they met many difficulties. There was a terrible storm on the sea when they were travelling to Hong Kong. The ship was almost broken, and they lost a lot of time. The biggest trouble was Detective Fix. Fix followed them all the way because he thought Mr Fogg was a bank robber, and he followed them all around the world, trying to arrest them. But Mr Fogg never gave up. He always found a way to solve the problems. When the railway stopped in the middle of India, he bought an elephant to continue the trip. When they missed the ship to Japan, he hired a small boat to get there. He cared more about keeping his promise to his friends, and making sure his travelling companions were safe. After many adventures, Mr Fogg and his friends finally returned to London. They thought they had missed the deadline, but later they found out they had arrived one day earlier, because they had travelled east around the world. Mr Fogg won the bet, and he also found true love with Aouda. 节选自英文改写版《Around the World in Eighty Days》 27.

He was very rich, so he did not care about spending money on the trip. D. He was afraid of difficulties, and he always gave up easily. 【答案】27. A 28. A 29. B 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了英国绅士Phileas Fogg与朋友打赌在八十天内环游世界，途中经历重重困难，最终凭借坚韧与智慧成功回到伦敦并赢得赌注的故事。 【27题详解】 通读全文可知，第一段讲述Phileas Fogg“在俱乐部与朋友们立下八十天环游世界的赌约”，随后当晚便“带着仆人路路通从伦敦启程”；第三段讲述“他在印度时救下了险些遇害的Aouda”，第五段讲述“Phileas Fogg返回伦敦并赢得了赌注”，因此顺序是②④①③。 【28题详解】 第一段讲述了Phileas Fogg打赌并开启环球旅行，第二段后文介绍了旅途中救助奥妲的经历，第三段又提到旅途中遇到诸多困难与冒险。A选项“The journey around the world was full of exciting adventures.”能够承上启下，引出后文的冒险经历。 【29题详解】 第三段最后一句“The biggest trouble was Detective Fix. Fix thought Mr Fogg was a bank robber, and he followed them all around the world, trying to arrest them.”说明，Fix认为Phileas Fogg是银行劫匪，一路跟随的目的是“逮捕”他。 【30题详解】 第四段划线句“He cared more about keeping his promise to his friends, and making sure his travelling companions were safe.”以及文章主旨表明福格将信守承诺和同伴安全置于金钱之上，体现了他善良、有责任感。 D Did you take part in any tree-planting activities this past March 12? Or maybe you went to check out the little tree you planted a few years ago? Standing beside it, you might have been amazed at how much it has changed. It’s really great to watch a tree grow year by year. Even the tallest ones of them grow from tiny seeds (种子). Have you ever wondered how? A full-grown tree may drop hundreds or even thousands of seeds a year. Inside each seed is something called an embryo(胚). Think of it as a small group of cells (细胞). These cells are ready to form roots, stems (茎), and first leaves. Once the covering around the seed gets wet, the embryo cells, which have been patiently waiting, suddenly come to life. They start to grow and break out. This is called germination. First, the roots develop and push out and down into the soil. This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil. Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves. As these leaves produce “food” in the sunlight, the plant gets the energy to grow more new leaves. Let’s imagine you drive a nail (钉子) into a tree at one metre above the ground. What will you see when you come back in ten years? The tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one metre above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top. At the same time, their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards. It is like the tree has two different ways of growing at the same time. The upward growth is like a race towards the sky, reaching for more sunlight, while the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support. As trees get older, they continue to grow taller and thicker. Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 metres! That’s as tall as a 30-floor building! Isn’t it amazing? 31. Which one of the pictures shows the stage of germination? A. B. C. D. 32. Why does the writer use the example of driving a nail into a tree in Paragraph 4? A. To explain why people put nails in trees. B. To help readers understand how trees grow taller. C. To show that nails don’t stop trees from growing. D. To teach readers a way to record the growth of trees. 33. If a tree trunk gets thicker over time, what will happen to a metal ring (金属环) put around the bottom of the trunk after 10 years? A. The metal ring will go into the soil. B. The metal ring will be higher off the ground. C. The metal ring will move up and down along the trunk. D. The metal ring will stay at the same height but may embed (嵌入) in the tree. 34. From the article, we can find the answer to the question “__________” ①How do trees get water from the soil? ②Why does a nail in a tree trunk stay at the same height over time? ③How many seeds does a full-grown tree drop in its lifetime? ④How tall can the tallest trees in the world grow? ⑤How long does a seed take to grow leaves? A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ②④⑤ D. ①②④ 35. Which of the following best represents the structure of the passage? A. Tell stories → List facts → Give a warning B. Ask questions → Explain steps → Share a fact C. List problems → Study reasons → Offer advice D. Share experiences → Show examples → Introduce features 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过提问和举例的方式，生动地解释了树木的生长过程，包括种子发芽、树木长高和长粗的机制，以及世界上最高树木的高度。 【31题详解】 第三段描述萌发阶段：“This is called germination. First, the roots develop…Then the stem grows up and makes the first leaves”，这说明萌发先长根、再长茎叶，对应图A。 【32题详解】 第四段以钉钉子为例：“…the tree will be much taller, but the nail will still be only one metre above the ground. That’s because trees get taller by growing upwards from the top”，结合该内容可推知，作者用这个例子直观解释树木长高是从顶端向上生长，因此钉子高度不会随树木长高而改变，以此帮助读者理解树木长高的机制。 【33题详解】 第四段说明树干变粗带来的影响：“their trunk gets thicker by growing outwards…the outward growth of the trunk is like adding more and more rings of protection and support”，这说明树干会向外生长变粗，可推知金属环高度不变，但会被嵌入树干。 【34题详解】 第三段说明树木如何吸水：“the roots develop…This makes sure the new plant can get water from the soil.”对应问题①；第四段通过钉子的例子，说明钉子高度不变的原因，对应问题②；第五段指出最高树的高度：“Guess how tall the world’s tallest living tree is? Over 110 metres!”对应问题④。其他问题文中未提及。 【35题详解】 文章结构为：开头提问（如“Have you ever wondered how?”）→解释步骤（如种子发芽、树木生长机制）→分享事实（如最高树木的高度）。 非选择题(共50分) 五、填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) A) (共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据括号中所给中文提示或音标写出单词 Mom says we are going to the park.

The couple bought the car 10 years ago. (同义句转换) The couple ________ ________ the car since 10 years ago. 【答案】 ①. have ②. had 【解析】 【详解】句意：这对夫妇十年前买了这辆车。原句是一般过去时，转换句中出现标志词since，表示动作从过去持续到现在，需使用现在完成时（have/has+过去分词）。buy是非延续性动词（瞬间动词），不能与since引导的时间状语连用。在现在完成时中，需将其转换为对应的延续性动词have“拥有”。have的过去分词是had，因此谓语结构为have/has had。主语The couple意为“夫妇俩”，强调两个人，谓语动词通常用复数have。故填have had。 52. I don’t know who I can ask for help when facing problems. (换为简单句) I don’t know ________ ________ ask for help when facing problems. 【答案】 ①. who##whom ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：当遇到问题时，我不知道可以向谁求助。原句是宾语从句结构，改为简单句时，可将“who I can ask”转换为“who//whom to ask”的“疑问词+不定式”结构，其余部分不变。 53. Millions of visitors have visited Xuanwu Lake since the 1920s. (对划线部分提问) ________ ________ have millions of visitors visited Xuanwu Lake? 【答案】 ①. How ②. long 【解析】 【详解】句意：自20世纪20年代以来，数以百万计的游客参观了玄武湖。划线部分“since the 1920s”表示从过去某一时间点开始一直持续到现在的时间段，所以此处疑问词用“how long”，用来询问时间的长短，放句首首字母大写。 54. 南京有一座有着600多年历史的城墙。 There is a wall _________ _________ _________ _________ over 600 years in Nanjing. 【答案】 ①. with ②. a ③. history ④. of 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺“有着……（年）历史的”。“with”是介词，表“带有、具有”；“a”是不定冠词；“history”是名词，意为“历史”；“of”是介词，表所属关系。四者组合构成“with a history of”短语，对应“有着……（年）历史的”的语义。故填with；a；history；of。 55. 这本书帮助她对世界不同文化有了切实的体验。 This book helps her ________ __________ different cultures around the world. 【答案】55. to 56. experience 【解析】 【详解】原句中“体验”是关键词，表示“体验”的动词是experience。help sb (to) do sth. 结构，意为“帮助某人做某事”。其中to可以省略，也可以保留。因为有两空，故填to；experience。 六、任务型阅读(共9小题;每小题1分，满10分) Tracking (跟踪) some 65,000 miles across 45 countries, Christopher Schacht’s international bestseller Around the World on 50 Bucks (元) was translated into English by Janet Gesme. As a translator, musician and mother of two, Janet Gesme speaks English, German, Russian, and Spanish. She fully understands Christopher’s intentions (意图) and has managed to express each idea in his voice. We recently had the chance to interview Gesme, who provided us with some fantastic insights. How does a US/English-speaking reader differ from a European/German-speaking one? The German-speaking readers are usually more patient and willing to read longer texts for a better understanding of an idea. But that is not the case with Christopher Schacht’s book. He writes quick, exciting, short stories that make you laugh and make your eyes pop out in surprise. There was no need to change the style: his writing is exactly what an English-speaking reader loves. What were the challenges or joys of translating Around the World on 50 Bucks? First, we were on a short timeline, so I needed to translate the whole book in three months. That meant a lot of late nights. The second challenge was Christopher’s sense of humour. Some of his humour is based on German culture that is very hard to translate. This leads into the joys as well. Christopher and I communicated online weekly while translating the book. We brainstormed together on how to find English equivalents (对应词) for the German style of humour. One of the themes of this book is communicating through barriers. From your point of view, how would someone interested in travelling best learn a new language in a strange place? Christopher has great tips for this in the book: Use apps and dictionaries to learn as many words ahead of time as possible. When travelling, you often have to wait a lot. This is the perfect time to learn. Then talk to people. You will make mistakes and it will be hard, but it is helpful and you’ll gain a lot. Janet Gesme and Around the World on 50 Bucks About the book It is about Christopher Schacht’s ____56____ around 45 countries, which covered 65,000 miles. Its original version (最初版本) is in German. About the translator Janet Gesme is a translator, musician and a mother of two. She understands Christopher’s intentions and has ____57____ expressed each idea in his voice in English. About the book translation The differences between readers · The German-speaking readers are more patient and willing to read longer texts. · Schacht's short writing exactly ____58____ the habits of English-speaking readers, so Gesme could translate the book without changing the style. The challenges and joys Janet Gesme had to stay up late to translate the book.She had ____59____ in translating Christopher's humour. The joys came from the online ____60____ with Christopher, which means they brainstormed together. About Gesme’s tips The way to pick up a new language · Learn words with the ____61____of apps and dictionaries before you travel. Learn while ____62____ during your travel.
