A. To keep B. Keep C. Kept D. Keeping 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了保持眼睛健康，我们学生应该少花时间在屏幕前。 考查非谓语动词。根据“...eyes healthy”可知，学生少花时间在屏幕前是为了保持眼睛健康，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了保持眼睛健康”。故选A。 3. —Maria, you should believe in ________. —OK, I will. A. myself B. yourself C. herself D. himself 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——玛丽亚，你应该相信你自己。——好的，我会的。 myself我自己；yourself你自己；herself她自己；himself他自己。根据“Maria, you should…”可知，说话者是对玛丽亚提出建议，句子主语隐含为you，因此反身代词应用yourself。 4.

A. when B. if C. while D. unless 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当他的妈妈正在做晚饭的时候，这个男孩正在看书。 when当……时候；if如果；while当……时候；unless除非。根据“The boy was reading a book…his mother was cooking dinner.”可知前后两个动作都在进行，表示同时发生，强调时间段的重合，应用while。 5.

A. hurt B. hurting C. to hurt D. hurts 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果我们下次更小心一点，我们就能避免伤害到自己。 avoid意为“避免”，后接动名词作宾语，avoid doing sth.意为“避免做某事”。应填hurting。 9.

A. nearly B. hardly C. badly D. loudly 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我花了将近一个小时做家务来帮助我的妈妈。 nearly将近；hardly几乎不；badly严重地；loudly大声地。根据“I spend…an hour doing housework to help my mom.”可知，此处修饰时间长度，表示“将近”一个小时符合语境。应填nearly。 二、阅读（共50分） II.完形填空。（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 In our house, we have one special rule.

Every time any of us feels angry, sad, or happy during the week, we write the ____11____ down on a piece of paper and put it into the jar. ____12____ Sunday evening, we read what we’ve written and talk about it. At first, I hated this rule. As a teen, I usually ____13____ to keep my feelings to myself. I didn’t want to express ____14____ in front of my parents. So I only wrote ____15____ things like, “I saw a rabbit in the field.” I always tried to write the note quickly, just to finish it. One week, I had an awful fight (打架) with my mom. I ____16____ her when she didn’t allow me to go on a picnic.

A. cheap B. famous C. important D. common 【答案】11. D 12. B 13. B 14. A 15. B 16. C 17. A 18. A 19. D 20. B 21. A 22. D 23. A 24. C 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者家里有个特殊规则，把情绪写进罐子周日分享。起初作者抗拒，后因争吵感受到家人的爱，最终理解了规则。 【11题详解】 句意：每周每当我们有人感到生气、难过或是开心时，我们就把这些情绪写在纸上放进罐子里。 前文提到“Every time any of us feels angry, sad, or happy”，这些都属于情绪，因此是把自己的“感受”写下来放进罐子里，feelings符合语境。results结果、names名字、mistakes错误，均与上下文无关。 【12题详解】 句意：在周日晚上，我们翻看写下的内容并一起交流。 表示具体某一天的晚上，要用介词on，即On Sunday evening。in用于年、月、季节等大范围时间；for后接时间段；of表所属，均不符合此处用法。 【13题详解】 句意：身为青少年，我向来喜欢把心事藏在心底。 根据后文“I didn’t want to express…”可知，作者一开始不想在父母面前表达情绪，因此“喜欢”把情绪藏在心里，liked to do sth.表示“喜欢做某事”，符合语境。stopped停止、went去、allowed允许，均不符合上下文逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：我不愿意在父母面前表露自己的心声。 主语是I，对应的反身代词是myself，即“不想在父母面前表达我自己的情绪”。yourself你自己、themselves他们自己、himself他自己，均与主语I不匹配。 【15题详解】 句意：所以我只写一些琐碎小事，比如我在田野里看见了一只兔子。 前文提到作者不想表达真实情绪，所以只写了像“I saw a rabbit in the field.”这类“琐碎的、无关紧要的”小事，small things符合语境。important重要的、active活跃的、lively活泼的，均与作者刻意回避真实情绪的行为矛盾。 【16题详解】 句意：当妈妈不准我去野餐时，我冲她大喊大叫。 前文提到“had an awful fight with my mom”，因此当妈妈不让作者去野餐时，作者冲她“大喊大叫”，shouted at符合吵架的语境。flew around四处飞、looked back回头看、turned around转身，均与吵架场景无关。 【17题详解】 句意：我想要知道那件事过后妈妈是否还爱我。 根据语境，作者写下愧疚的话后，心里很不安，“想知道”妈妈是否还爱自己，wanted to know表示“想要知道”，符合语境。asked询问，后需接宾语、hated讨厌、loved爱，均不符合此处的心理状态。 【18题详解】 句意：我想知道在那件事之后，妈妈是否依旧爱我。 结合语境，作者担心的是吵架这件事发生之后，妈妈是否还会爱自己，after that表示“在那件事之后”，符合此处作者担心妈妈因吵架而生自己气的心理。with伴随、before在……之前、without没有，均不符合此处的逻辑。 【19题详解】 句意：周日家人翻看我的纸条时我十分紧张，但是妈妈并没有生我的气。 前文说“我很紧张”，后文说“妈妈没有生我的气”，前后是转折关系，用but。because因为，表原因、and和，表并列、so所以，表结果，均不符合此处逻辑。 【20题详解】 句意：她的话语触动了我的内心，让我倍感温暖。 妈妈的拥抱和安慰让作者很感动，因此作者感到“温暖”，warm符合语境。cold寒冷的、interested感兴趣的、angry生气的，均与被安慰后的感受不符。 【21题详解】 句意：从那以后，我开始写下更多喜怒哀乐的真实心情。 固定搭配begin doing sth.表示“开始做某事”，因此用动名词writing。write原形、writes第三人称单数、wrote过去式，均不符合begin的用法。 【22题详解】 句意：我们互相倾诉心事，彼此帮助度过艰难时刻。 句意为“我们分享彼此的故事，互相帮助度过难关”，help each other go through hard times符合家人间互相支持的语境。warned警告、passed传递、asked询问，均不符合“度过难关”的语境。 【23题详解】 句意：如今我明白，这个罐子是连通彼此内心的桥梁。 根据后文“between our hearts to connect each other”，这个罐子是家人心与心之间的“桥梁”，bridge符合语境。wall墙，表隔阂、choice选择、test测试，均与“连接彼此”的含义矛盾。 【24题详解】 句意：它教会我们遇事冷静，彼此倾诉内心情绪。 teach sb. to do sth.中sb.用宾格，这里指作者和家人，因此用us。her她、them他们、you你/你们，均不符合上下文的指代。 【25题详解】 句意：这个装满纸条的罐子，成为了家里最重要的物件之一。 根据前文，这个罐子让家人的关系更亲密，因此它成了家里最“重要的”东西之一，important符合语境。cheap便宜的、famous著名的、common普通的，均与罐子的意义不符。 III.阅读理解。（共30小题; 26-50题,每小题1分; 51-55题,每小题2分;满分35分） （A） Volunteers Needed World Cleanup Day falls on the third Saturday in September.

Back in Grade 6, soccer became my favourite sport. I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP. As the soccer season went on, our team made it to the playoffs (季后赛), and we finished second. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain, but I was the player who scored the most goals on the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to his teammates. At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got awards for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the coach stood up and announced, “The winner for the MVP is Kenny.” How could that be? I couldn’t believe my ears. After the event, the coach came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself, but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was ashamed (羞愧) by what the coach had said. Now I am in Grade 8 and the captain of the soccer team. I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about “you”. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31. What can we learn about the writer from Paragraph 1? A. He has a gift for soccer. B. He scored the most goals on the team. C. He wanted to be the captain of the team. D. He was the best player when he joined the team. 32. How did the writer feel when he knew Kenny got the MVP? A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Relaxed. D. Surprised. 33. What does the underlined word “individual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Proud. B. Active. C. Personal. D. Confident. 34. Which of the following is RIGHT? A. The writer’s team got first place in the playoffs. B. The writer is now the captain of the soccer team. C. The coach thought that the writer wasn’t the best player. D. Everyone was sure that Kenny would win the MVP award. 35. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C. Teamwork makes the dream work. D. Sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在六年级时虽然进球最多，但因缺乏团队合作精神而未能获得最有价值球员（MVP）奖，经过教练的指点后，他明白了团队运动的意义，并在八年级成为队长，成长为一名更好的球员和领导者。 【31题详解】 第一段明确指出：“I was the player who scored the most goals on the team”，说明作者是队里进球最多的球员。 【32题详解】 第三段明确指出：“How could that be? I couldn’t believe my ears.”，说明作者听到Kenny获奖时感到非常惊讶。 【33题详解】 第三段中教练说：“soccer is about the team, not about one individual player”，这里“individual”与“team”相对，意为“个人的”，即足球是关于团队的，而不是关于某一个个人球员的，与“Personal”意思最接近。 【34题详解】 最后一段明确指出：“Now I am in Grade 8 and the captain of the soccer team”，说明作者现在是足球队的队长。 【35题详解】 全文通过作者的经历强调了团队合作的重要性，教练的话“You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player”以及作者最后的感悟“It is about ‘us’”都指向了团队合作的主题，因此“Teamwork makes the dream work”（团队合作成就梦想）最符合文章主旨。 （C） What should we do if one of our classmates falls ill or gets hurt accidentally? Stay there to wait for the medical care (医疗救治) from doctors. In fact, here are some steps about first aid you should follow when you meet these accidents. ①Take away clothing from the wound (伤口). Use an ice pack on the hurt body part. Don’t move the hurt body bones while waiting for the doctor to arrive. ②First wash the bite (咬) area with soap and water if you are bitten by an animal. Press a clean cloth on the wound if it is bleeding. Take the person to the hospital. Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once. ③Let him or her lie with feet lifted (抬起) a little. Don’t move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let the fresh air in. ④Let the person sit up with his or her head down. Don’t let his head tilt (倾斜) back. Press the sides of his or her nose for at least 10 minutes. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. What should we do first when an animal bite happens? A. Put an ice pack on the wound.

Ways to ask for help when getting hurt. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍四种常见意外伤害(骨折、动物咬伤、晕厥、流鼻血)的急救步骤，包括如何处理伤口、是否移动身体以及正确的操作方法，帮助读者在紧急情况下采取正确措施。 【36题详解】 第三段第一句“First wash the bite (咬) area with soap and water if you are bitten by an animal.”，当被动物咬伤时，我们首先应该“用肥皂和水清洗咬伤处”。 【37题详解】 根据①“Don’t move the hurt body bones”，不要移动受伤的骨头(对应d)；根据②“First wash the bite (咬) area with soap and water if you are bitten by an animal.”，被动物咬伤时(对应c)，用肥皂水清洗咬伤处；根据③“Let him or her lie with feet lifted (抬起) a little.”，让伤者躺下，脚抬高(对应a)；根据④“Press the sides of his or her nose for at least 10 minutes.”，按压其鼻翼至少10分钟(对应b)。标题和段落配对为①-d,②-c,③-a,④-b。 【38题详解】 第二段“Don’t move the hurt body bones...”和第四段“Don’t move the body...”，“处理骨折和晕厥时”不应该移动受伤的身体部位。 【39题详解】 最后一段最后一句“Press the sides of his or her nose for at least 10 minutes.”，按压其鼻翼至少10分钟，D项“按压鼻子少于10分钟”错误。 【40题详解】 第一段最后一句“here are some steps about first aid you should follow when you meet these accidents.”，这里是一些你在遇到这些事故时应该遵循的急救步骤，以及下文介绍的骨折、动物咬伤、晕厥、流鼻血四种情况的急救步骤，B项“关于意外事故急救的一些步骤。”适合作为最佳标题。 （D） Many young people feel stressed about showing a very “perfect” image (形象) on social media (社交媒体): Who can get the most likes? Who has the best life? Now an app called “Memory Star” can help solve this problem! The idea came from Sacha Botting, one of a team of five British teenagers. She used to write down happy memories and put them in a glass “memory jar”. On bad days, the girl would read those notes, and they would always make her smile. Her team wanted to build a digital version (电子版) of this, and that’s how Memory Star was born. Unlike most apps that encourage sharing, Memory Star is a personal “memory jar”. Users put daily photos, text messages, voice notes and even short videos in the app—and only they can look back on these moments. “With Memory Star, you simply enjoy your own memories without worrying about others’ ideas!” Zuzia O’ Donoghue, one of the creators, explained. The app is very easy to use. After you download (下载) it for free, tap the “+” button to add a memory, give it a title or emoji, and save it. When you feel down, just open the app. All your saved moments will be on the screen and greatly lift your spirits! After the team won the Astellas Innovation Challenge, Memory Star quickly became popular, with over 50,000 users across the world. “It’s not just an app—it’s a reminder that joy is all around us!” co-creator Gemma Kelly said. 根据短文内容，判断正(T)、误(F)。 41. The idea of Memory Star was from Sacha Botting. 42. Memory Star encourages users to share their happy memories on social media. 43. You can put photos, text messages, voice notes and videos in Memory Star. 44. Memory Star is a paid app that you need to spend money to download. 45. Memory Star can help people become happy when they feel upset. 【答案】41. T 42. F 43. T 44. F 45. T 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一款名为“Memory Star”的应用，包括它的起源、功能特点、使用方法以及带来的积极影响。 【41题详解】 原文第二段提到：“The idea came from Sacha Botting, one of a team of five British teenagers.”，说明Memory Star的想法来自Sacha Botting，所以“The idea of Memory Star was from Sacha Botting.”表述正确。 【42题详解】 原文第三段提到：“Unlike most apps that encourage sharing, Memory Star is a personal ‘memory jar’.”，说明Memory Star和大多数鼓励分享的应用不同，它不鼓励用户在社交媒体上分享快乐回忆，所以“Memory Star encourages users to share their happy memories on social media.”表述错误。 【43题详解】 原文第三段提到：“Users put daily photos, text messages, voice notes and even short videos in the app—and only they can look back on these moments.”，说明用户可以在Memory Star中放入照片、短信、语音笔记和视频，所以“You can put photos, text messages, voice notes and videos in Memory Star.”表述正确。 【44题详解】 原文第四段提到：“After you download it for free, tap the ‘+’ button to add a memory, give it a title or emoji, and save it.”，说明这款应用可以免费下载，不需要花钱，所以“Memory Star is a paid app that you need to spend money to download.”表述错误。 【45题详解】 原文第四段提到：“When you feel down, just open the app. All your saved moments will be on the screen and greatly lift your spirits!”，说明当人们感到沮丧时，打开Memory Star能看到保存的回忆，从而振奋精神、变得开心，所以“Memory Star can help people become happy when they feel upset.”表述正确。 （E） Animals use senses (感官) to find food and stay out of danger. People use them to find out what is happening with their bodies and in the world around them. You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, seeing, smell, touch and taste. ____46____ Pain Sense Pain might be regarded as part of the sense of touch. Actually, it isn’t. People and other animals can feel pain even when nothing is touching them. ____47____ It can also warn people to stop or change what they are doing before they get hurt. Temperature Sense People can sense the changes in temperature. In winter, many old people move from the cold place to the warm place. The same thing happens to animals. ____48____ So they have the habit of winter sleep. Time Sense Scientists think people have the best sense of time. But probably other animals sense it, too. For example, dogs will wait at the door at a certain time. ____49____ Using Sounds to “See” Some animals can “see” the things around them in the dark. ____50____ By making sounds and listening to echoes (回声), some whales and birds have this unusual sense. In a word, many other senses are also being studied besides the senses above. As you explore the world, think about the other senses that animals, including you, use every day. 阅读短文，把A~E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. How do they find where things are? B.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了除了人们熟知的五种基本感官之外，动物和人类还拥有的其他一些不为人知的感官，包括痛觉、温度感知、时间感知以及利用声音“看”东西的能力。 【46题详解】 第一段前文提到“You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, seeing, smell, touch and taste.”，后文开始逐一介绍其他不常见的感官，选项C“Here are some senses you may not know.”能够承接上文，起到承上启下的过渡作用，引出下文要介绍的各种不为人知的感官。 【47题详解】 第二段前文提到“People and other animals can feel pain even when nothing is touching them.”，后文提到“It can also warn people to stop or change what they are doing before they get hurt.”，选项D“It helps people realize that they are hurt.”能够承接上文，说明痛觉的第一个作用——帮助人们意识到自己受伤了，与后文“它还能警告人们……”形成递进关系（also提示前文已说了一个作用）。 【48题详解】 第三段前文提到“People can sense the changes in temperature.”并举了老人冬天迁移的例子，后文说“So they have the habit of winter sleep.”，选项B“Snakes have the ability to ‘feel’ heat.”能够承接上文，以蛇为例说明动物也能感知温度变化，进而引出后文蛇因感知到寒冷而有冬眠的习惯，逻辑通顺。 【49题详解】 第四段前文提到“For example, dogs will wait at the door at a certain time.”，选项E“They seem to know their owners will come back home.”能够承接上文，进一步解释狗在固定时间等在门口的原因——它们似乎知道主人会回家，这体现了动物的时间感知能力。 【50题详解】 第五段前文提到“Some animals can ‘see’ the things around them in the dark.”，后文提到“By making sounds and listening to echoes, some whales and birds have this unusual sense.”，选项A“How do they find where things are?”以问句形式承接上文，提出“它们是如何在黑暗中找到东西的位置的？”这一问题，后文则用回声定位的方式来回答，形成设问—回答的逻辑结构。 （F） Everyone wants to write beautifully. And I love something special—Chinese calligraphy. When I was a little child, I loved to watch my grandparents write Chinese characters with ink brushes. Later I came to learn about many Chinese calligraphers, such as Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty. At the age of 9, I joined a writing class to learn Chinese calligraphy. The teacher showed many of his calligraphy works. I told myself that I would practice hard and try to become as good as him. At first, I followed the teacher carefully. As soon as the teacher wrote a character, I wrote the same one. Before long I could write many difficult characters. I felt happy and believed that I was talented (有天赋的) in Chinese calligraphy. I practiced hard for a year, but the teacher pointed out some problems in my calligraphy. I thought it was just a way to improve my writing skills, but he told me that Chinese calligraphy is part of Chinese culture. Besides, I thought it was just about mimicry (模仿), but he told me that Chinese calligraphy is a creation that comes from the heart. He said that a writer should think carefully about what he wants to show before he starts to write. I’m not sure if I fully understood the teacher. But from then on, I spent more time thinking and practicing my writing. I will continue practising and I hope I can know the essence (精华) of Chinese calligraphy. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51.

I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP. As the soccer season went on, our team made it to the playoffs (季后赛), and we finished second. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain, but I was the player who scored the most goals on the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to his teammates. At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got awards for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the coach stood up and announced, “The winner for the MVP is Kenny.” How could that be? I couldn’t believe my ears. After the event, the coach came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself, but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was ashamed (羞愧) by what the coach had said. Now I am in Grade 8 and the captain of the soccer team. I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about “you”. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31.

Now an app called “Memory Star” can help solve this problem! The idea came from Sacha Botting, one of a team of five British teenagers. She used to write down happy memories and put them in a glass “memory jar”. On bad days, the girl would read those notes, and they would always make her smile. Her team wanted to build a digital version (电子版) of this, and that’s how Memory Star was born. Unlike most apps that encourage sharing, Memory Star is a personal “memory jar”. Users put daily photos, text messages, voice notes and even short videos in the app—and only they can look back on these moments. “With Memory Star, you simply enjoy your own memories without worrying about others’ ideas!” Zuzia O’ Donoghue, one of the creators, explained. The app is very easy to use. After you download (下载) it for free, tap the “+” button to add a memory, give it a title or emoji, and save it. When you feel down, just open the app. All your saved moments will be on the screen and greatly lift your spirits! After the team won the Astellas Innovation Challenge, Memory Star quickly became popular, with over 50,000 users across the world. “It’s not just an app—it’s a reminder that joy is all around us!” co-creator Gemma Kelly said. 根据短文内容，判断正(T)、误(F)。 41. The idea of Memory Star was from Sacha Botting. 42. Memory Star encourages users to share their happy memories on social media. 43. You can put photos, text messages, voice notes and videos in Memory Star. 44. Memory Star is a paid app that you need to spend money to download. 45. Memory Star can help people become happy when they feel upset. （E） Animals use senses (感官) to find food and stay out of danger. People use them to find out what is happening with their bodies and in the world around them. You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, seeing, smell, touch and taste. ____46____ Pain Sense Pain might be regarded as part of the sense of touch. Actually, it isn’t. People and other animals can feel pain even when nothing is touching them. ____47____ It can also warn people to stop or change what they are doing before they get hurt. Temperature Sense People can sense the changes in temperature. In winter, many old people move from the cold place to the warm place. The same thing happens to animals. ____48____ So they have the habit of winter sleep. Time Sense Scientists think people have the best sense of time. But probably other animals sense it, too. For example, dogs will wait at the door at a certain time. ____49____ Using Sounds to “See” Some animals can “see” the things around them in the dark. ____50____ By making sounds and listening to echoes (回声), some whales and birds have this unusual sense. In a word, many other senses are also being studied besides the senses above. As you explore the world, think about the other senses that animals, including you, use every day. 阅读短文，把A~E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. How do they find where things are? B.
