Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect. A man in the USA changed Garfield’s gender to “none” on the cat’s web page. After that, many people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s web page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither. Finally the page was locked to stop people editing (编辑) it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled (解决) the argument. “Garfield is male,” he simply told Washington Post. The artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender. It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender. To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made ten traffic lights with a figure dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public. But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but this idea is foolish. “I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women. 28. ________ put Garfield the cat back in the news recently. A. The cat’s lazy character B. Being included in a website C. The cat’s picture being changed on its web page D. The cat’s gender being changed on its web page 29. According to Jim Davis, _________. A. the page about Garfield should be locked B. Garfield can be a boy or a girl, and young or old C. artists don’t care about animals’ age or gender D. It’s unnecessary to take Garfield’s gender too seriously 30. As to the traffic light idea, Robert Doyle thought ________. A. it would give women more confidence in public B. it was not a good idea for gender equity C. it would bring respect to women D. it helped women be treated fairly in Australia 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲解通过对加菲猫性别的猜测引出了澳大利亚庆祝妇女节的活动中做的事情只会让人笑话而不是尊重女性。 【28题详解】 第二段明确指出“A man in the USA changed Garfield’s gender to “none” on the cat’s web page. After that, many people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s web page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither.”，由于加菲猫的性别在网页中被改动，才重返新闻。 【29题详解】 第二段明确指出“He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender.”及第三段明确指出“It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have.”，他认为没有必要争论这个。 【30题详解】 最后一段明确指出“Melbourne mayor Robert Doyle told Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.”，相比于给女人尊重，还不如说可能被嘲笑。 C The mystery began as the twins looked around their new home—an old house with apple trees. What interested the twins most was the attic (阁楼). There they found a dirty old bottle. After cleaning it, a surprising note inside caught their attention. By stones where shadows lie, close to where old leaves die. Not far below, under the earth, lies a treasure of secret worth. If you search and do not fear; the past will soon be clear. Near the bed where dragonflies fly, dig by the wettest place nearby. “A treasure!” Anna said excitedly. “And these clues! Where old leaves die,” Sam read aloud.“It’s near those apple trees.” “Let’s get a shovel (铲子) and borrow a metal detector (金属探测器) to find the treasure.” With their parents’ help, Sam used the detector under the apple trees and found an old bottle cap. They also checked the stone wall but there was only a nail. All their early leads turned out to be wrong. That night, Anna kept thinking about “bed” in the note. She looked it up in the dictionary and suddenly, an idea clicked. The next morning, she led everyone into the woods where a stone wall ran by a stream (小溪). “Where’s the bed?” Sam asked. “Bed also means the bottom of a stream and that's where dragonflies lay their eggs.” Anna explained, sweeping the detector. Beeeee. They dug carefully and found a lunch box. “Look at all these things.” They pulled out the treasures: a postcard, a music record, a silver half-dollar, and a baseball card. “It's a box from the past!” Sam shouted.“Look, 1964 on the baseball card!” “But who buried (埋) it?” Anna wondered, holding up the postcard. On the back was another note: The past is a mystery, the present a race, to find who I am, just find the place. Look where stories and words stay, or behind the doors where secrets hide away. Anna laughed. “Here we go again—another mystery to solve!” 31. Why did someone leave the first note? A. To ask someone to help solve the mystery. B. To introduce the history of the old house. C. To lead people to find something valuable. D. To describe where dragonflies like to live. 32. How did Anna probably feel when “an idea clicked”? A. Hopeful and certain. B. Surprised but a little scared. C. Curious and interested. D. Excited but a little worried. 33. What is the best title for this story? A. New Home B. Missing Clue C. Hidden Treasure D. Mystery Bottle 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了双胞胎在新家阁楼发现一个旧瓶子，里面藏着一张藏宝图，经过一番寻找最终发现一个来自1964年的午餐盒，里面装着各种旧物，并引出另一个谜题的故事。 【31题详解】 第一段中提到瓶中的纸条上写着“lies a treasure of secret worth”，以及后续双胞胎按照纸条线索找到了装有旧物的午餐盒。因此，留下第一张纸条的目的是引导人们找到有价值的东西。 【32题详解】 文中提到Anna反复思考纸条中的“bed”一词，查字典后突然“an idea clicked”，第二天她自信地带领大家去溪边寻找，并成功找到宝物。因此她当时的感受是充满希望和确信的。 【33题详解】 故事的核心是双胞胎根据纸条线索寻找并最终发现“hidden treasure” (隐藏的宝藏)，即午餐盒中的旧物。虽然故事以瓶子为起点，但主要情节围绕宝藏的寻找展开，且“宝藏”是纸条明确指向的目标。C选项“Hidden Treasure”更能概括故事的主要内容。 D When a robin (a kind of bird) sees itself in a window or mirror, it seems to think the reflection (映像) is another robin. The bird may hit the glass, trying to drive the other bird away. In the 1970s, Dr. Gordon Gallup had an idea. He thought more intelligent (智力的) types of animals might know that their reflections show themselves. To find out, he created an experiment called the mirror test. If an animal passes the test, scientists say that it has “self-awareness”. In Dr. Gallup’s experiments, chimpanzees (黑猩猩) passed, but monkeys failed. So far, only eight have passed, including humans. Four of them are in the chimpanzee family. Magpies (喜鹊), dolphins, and elephants also passed. The mirror test has four stages. In studies with children, a research group put stickers on the foreheads of children who just learned how to walk when they weren’t paying attention. By the age of two, most could notice the sticker in a mirror and take it off. In Dr. Reiss’s dolphin study, the researchers put marks on two dolphins’ heads. Both dolphins noticed the mark in a mirror. One of them swam to the side of the pool and tried to rub the mark off. A mark placed on elephants’ heads gave similar results. “Animals that pass the mirror test have a lot in common,” Dr. Reiss says. “They all have large, complicated brains compared to their body size. They all live in social groups and work with each other. They care about others.” The mirror test can’t make us know about every animal’s intelligence. Dr. Reiss says self-awareness is only one form of intelligence. “Many highly social animals communicate in their own ways. It isn’t about who is more intelligent. It is about what kind of intelligence they show.” 34. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To remind people to care about animals. B. To introduce the advantages of “the mirror test”. C. To present some facts of “the mirror test”. D. To encourage people to do research on animals. 35. Which of the following shows the animal has “self-awareness” according to the mirror test? A. The elephant takes the mark on its head off. B. The bird drives its reflection away. C. The monkey takes the mark on its head off. D. The dolphin drives its reflection away. 36. Which words are the most suitable for ____▲____? A. Search for the Mark. B. Explore the Mark. C. Search for the Mirror. D. Explore the Mirror. 37. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Since then, researchers have given the test to many kinds of animals. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 7 D. Paragraph 8 【答案】34. C 35. A 36. D 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由Dr. Gordon Gallup设计的镜子测试，包括其起源、阶段、通过测试的动物种类及相关研究，说明了该测试是检测动物自我意识的方法之一。 【34题详解】 文章围绕“镜子测试”展开，介绍了其起源、阶段、测试对象及相关结论，目的是呈现关于该测试的事实信息。 【35题详解】 镜子测试的Stage 4中“Notice what doesn’t belong. The animal notices a harmless mark on itself and reacts to it.”及倒数第三段“Dr. Reiss’s dolphin study ... A mark placed on elephants’ heads gave similar results.”说明能注意到身上的标记并做出反应的动物具有自我意识，大象把头上的记号取下来表明动物有“自我意识”。 【36题详解】 Stage 2的描述为“A cat may hold up its paw. Other animals shake their heads or try to look behind the mirror.”，这些行为是动物对镜子本身进行探索的表现，而非寻找标记。因此“Explore the Mirror”符合语境。 【37题详解】 句子“Since then, researchers have given the test to many kinds of animals.”意为“从那以后，研究人员对多种动物进行了该测试”，文章第二段介绍了1970年代Dr. Gallup的实验，第三段提到“到目前为止，只有8种动物通过了测试”，因此该句放在第三段开头，起到承接上文、引出下文的作用最合理。 第二卷 (主观题，共40分) 四、词汇运用 (本大题共10分，每小题1分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

The monument was built in memory of the ________ (hero) that died in World War II. 【答案】heroes 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座纪念碑是为了纪念在二战中牺牲的英雄而建造的。定语从句that died in World War II修饰前面的名词，二战中牺牲的英雄不止一位，所以需要用hero的复数形式，故填heroes。 47. Her parents were strongly against her ________ (marry) someone from a different culture, without really knowing him. 【答案】marrying 【解析】 【详解】句意：她的父母强烈反对她在没有真正了解对方的情况下嫁给来自不同文化背景的人。against是介词，后需接动名词形式，marry的动名词形式为marrying。 五、动词填空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。(本大题共10分，每小题1分) 48. —Where has your father gone? I haven’t seen him for days. —He ________ (tour) Saipan Island. He’ll come back next weekend. 【答案】is touring 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你爸爸去哪了？我好几天没见到他了。——他正在塞班岛旅游。他下周末会回来。句中“He’ll come back next weekend”提示他目前正在塞班岛旅游，表示现阶段正在进行的动作，应用现在进行时。主语He为第三人称单数，be动词用 is，tour的现在分词为touring， 49. Sally’s dad worked overtime every day only ________ (pay) for her piano lessons. 【答案】to pay 【解析】 【详解】句意：Sally的爸爸每天加班只是为了支付她的钢琴课费用。句中“only…(pay) for her piano lessons”表示目的，“only to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“只是为了做某事”，用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to pay。 50. My followers have been asking for a new vlog, so I ________ (start) a new daily series next week. 【答案】will start 【解析】 【详解】句意：粉丝们一直催更新视频，所以我下周将要开启全新日常系列视频。next week“下周”，表示将来，其结构为will+动词原形，即will start。 51. His diary is full of hidden feelings that he hasn’t ________ (not tell) anyone. He prefers to keep them to himself. 【答案】told 【解析】 【详解】句意：他的日记里充满了从未告诉过任何人的隐秘情感。他更愿意把它们藏在心里。tell“告诉”，为动词。括号中给出的not与前面hasn’t中的not重复，故忽略括号中的not，只需将tell变为过去分词，构成现在完成时的否定形式（hasn’t+过去分词），故填told。 52. When you called last night, I ________ (not sleep) even though it was very late. I was still at my desk doing my homework because the next day there was a big test. 【答案】wasn’t sleeping##was not sleeping 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨晚你打电话时，虽然天色已晚，我那时并没有在睡觉。我还在伏案写作业，因为第二天有一场大型考试。句中“When you called last night”为过去具体时间点，提示此处强调过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时，结构为was/were+现在分词，主语为I，be动词用was，否定形式直接在was后加not，was not可缩写为wasn’t，sleep的现在分词为sleeping。 53. I hear the workers have completed ________ (build) the new bridge. Is it true? 【答案】building 【解析】 【详解】句意：我听说工人们已经完成了新桥的建造，是真的吗？句中动词completed后需要接动名词作宾语，构成固定搭配complete doing sth.“完成某事”，因此需用动词build的动名词形式，故填building。 54. Haven’t you noticed it? You ________ (drop) the key sometime on your way here! 【答案】dropped 【解析】 【详解】句意：你没发现吗？你来的路上某个时候把钥匙弄丢了。时间状语是“sometime on your way here”，这是一个过去的时间点，说明“丢钥匙”是过来路上已经发生的动作，用一般过去时，drop的过去式为dropped。 55. No matter what difficulty we ________ (face) next, we will not give up. 【答案】face 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论接下来我们面临什么困难，我们都不会放弃。No matter what difficulty...next是一个让步状语从句。主句时态是将来时，从句中表示“接下来将面临的困难”时，习惯用一般现在时代替将来时。主语we与动词face之间是主动关系，且为一般现在时，故填 face。 56. Creativity as well as good grades ________ (be) what I really care about. 【答案】is 【解析】 【详解】句意：创造力和好成绩一样，是我真正在乎的东西。as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词遵循“就远原则”，即与前面的主语（Creativity）保持一致。Creativity 是第三人称单数，且句子描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时，be动词用is。 57. The terrible noise made the little dog ________ (jump) up and down. It was so scared. 【答案】jump 【解析】 【详解】句意：那可怕的噪音使小狗上蹿下跳。它非常害怕。根据“made”可知，此处使用动词原形jump，make sb do sth“使某人做某事”，make为使役动词，后接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。 六、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每小题答案不超过6个单词。 Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves in the Arctic waters. The waves were discovered by accident in May 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters. On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice. “We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks (裂缝) around,” he remembers. He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces. Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship’s navigation (航行) system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists have never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small. The speed and force of the huge waves there make it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live are also in danger. Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead. 58.

Why has the Arctic ice begun to disappear? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 60.

We should reduce carbon emissions. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家在北冰洋意外发现巨浪，分析了巨浪形成的原因、带来的危险以及未来的预测。 【58题详解】 文章第二段第一句提到“The waves were discovered by accident in May 2010.”，可知发现巨浪的时间是2010年5月。 【59题详解】 文章第一段第三句“As temperatures have increased…the ice has begun to disappear.”直接说明了冰消失的原因是因为气温升高。 【60题详解】 文章第六段指出“They were more than 20 feet in height.”，可知最大波浪的高度超过20英尺。 【61题详解】 文章第八段提到“That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities…Wildlife…are also in danger.”，可知航海者、社区和野生动物都处于危险中。 【62题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实，结合文章内容对“保护北冰洋”给出建议，合理作答即可，注意不超过6个单词。 七、书面表达 (本大题共15分) 63. “苏超”大火，连你韩国的网友Sana都听说了，她很想了解一下江苏，但她不确定是选择“云游江苏”(通过互联网、视频等方式在线游览)还是亲自来江苏实地旅游。请你帮她做一个选择，写一封信给她，内容包括： 1. 你认为更合适的方式(云游或实地游览)及理由(至少两个); 2. 介绍推荐江苏的好物、美景和乐事等; 注意事项： 1. 信件要求语句通顺、词句丰富、意思连贯、符合题意; 2. 需包括所有要点，可适当发挥; 3. 词数 100个左右，开头结尾已在答题卡上给出，不计入总词数; 4. 文中不得提及真人的人名、校名等相关信息。 Dear Sana, I’m glad you want to learn about Jiangsu Province. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Zhu Ying 【答案】 例文 Dear Sana, I’m glad you want to learn about Jiangsu Province.

My first job was to scoop (舀) ice cream at Brigham’s in Concord Center. It was a(n) ____15____ job for someone who thought of Boston’s Scooper Bowl festival as a national holiday.

With my $45 paycheck—enough for two museum tickets—I’d race to the Museum of Ice Cream. I was sure there was some big life lesson here, but I ____24____ if I could find it.

Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect. A man in the USA changed Garfield’s gender to “none” on the cat’s web page. After that, many people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s web page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither. Finally the page was locked to stop people editing (编辑) it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled (解决) the argument. “Garfield is male,” he simply told Washington Post. The artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender. It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender. To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made ten traffic lights with a figure dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public. But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but this idea is foolish. “I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women. 28. ________ put Garfield the cat back in the news recently. A. The cat’s lazy character B. Being included in a website C. The cat’s picture being changed on its web page D. The cat’s gender being changed on its web page 29. According to Jim Davis, _________. A. the page about Garfield should be locked B. Garfield can be a boy or a girl, and young or old C. artists don’t care about animals’ age or gender D. It’s unnecessary to take Garfield’s gender too seriously 30. As to the traffic light idea, Robert Doyle thought ________. A. it would give women more confidence in public B. it was not a good idea for gender equity C. it would bring respect to women D. it helped women be treated fairly in Australia C The mystery began as the twins looked around their new home—an old house with apple trees. What interested the twins most was the attic (阁楼). There they found a dirty old bottle. After cleaning it, a surprising note inside caught their attention. By stones where shadows lie, close to where old leaves die. Not far below, under the earth, lies a treasure of secret worth. If you search and do not fear; the past will soon be clear. Near the bed where dragonflies fly, dig by the wettest place nearby. “A treasure!” Anna said excitedly. “And these clues! Where old leaves die,” Sam read aloud.“It’s near those apple trees.” “Let’s get a shovel (铲子) and borrow a metal detector (金属探测器) to find the treasure.” With their parents’ help, Sam used the detector under the apple trees and found an old bottle cap. They also checked the stone wall but there was only a nail. All their early leads turned out to be wrong. That night, Anna kept thinking about “bed” in the note. She looked it up in the dictionary and suddenly, an idea clicked. The next morning, she led everyone into the woods where a stone wall ran by a stream (小溪). “Where’s the bed?” Sam asked. “Bed also means the bottom of a stream and that's where dragonflies lay their eggs.” Anna explained, sweeping the detector. Beeeee. They dug carefully and found a lunch box. “Look at all these things.” They pulled out the treasures: a postcard, a music record, a silver half-dollar, and a baseball card. “It's a box from the past!” Sam shouted.“Look, 1964 on the baseball card!” “But who buried (埋) it?” Anna wondered, holding up the postcard. On the back was another note: The past is a mystery, the present a race, to find who I am, just find the place. Look where stories and words stay, or behind the doors where secrets hide away. Anna laughed. “Here we go again—another mystery to solve!” 31. Why did someone leave the first note? A. To ask someone to help solve the mystery. B. To introduce the history of the old house. C. To lead people to find something valuable. D. To describe where dragonflies like to live. 32. How did Anna probably feel when “an idea clicked”? A. Hopeful and certain. B. Surprised but a little scared. C. Curious and interested. D. Excited but a little worried. 33. What is the best title for this story? A. New Home B. Missing Clue C. Hidden Treasure D. Mystery Bottle D When a robin (a kind of bird) sees itself in a window or mirror, it seems to think the reflection (映像) is another robin. The bird may hit the glass, trying to drive the other bird away. In the 1970s, Dr. Gordon Gallup had an idea. He thought more intelligent (智力的) types of animals might know that their reflections show themselves. To find out, he created an experiment called the mirror test. If an animal passes the test, scientists say that it has “self-awareness”. In Dr. Gallup’s experiments, chimpanzees (黑猩猩) passed, but monkeys failed. So far, only eight have passed, including humans. Four of them are in the chimpanzee family. Magpies (喜鹊), dolphins, and elephants also passed. The mirror test has four stages. In studies with children, a research group put stickers on the foreheads of children who just learned how to walk when they weren’t paying attention. By the age of two, most could notice the sticker in a mirror and take it off. In Dr. Reiss’s dolphin study, the researchers put marks on two dolphins’ heads. Both dolphins noticed the mark in a mirror. One of them swam to the side of the pool and tried to rub the mark off. A mark placed on elephants’ heads gave similar results. “Animals that pass the mirror test have a lot in common,” Dr. Reiss says. “They all have large, complicated brains compared to their body size. They all live in social groups and work with each other. They care about others.” The mirror test can’t make us know about every animal’s intelligence. Dr. Reiss says self-awareness is only one form of intelligence. “Many highly social animals communicate in their own ways. It isn’t about who is more intelligent. It is about what kind of intelligence they show.” 34. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To remind people to care about animals. B. To introduce the advantages of “the mirror test”. C. To present some facts of “the mirror test”. D. To encourage people to do research on animals. 35. Which of the following shows the animal has “self-awareness” according to the mirror test? A. The elephant takes the mark on its head off. B. The bird drives its reflection away. C. The monkey takes the mark on its head off. D. The dolphin drives its reflection away. 36. Which words are the most suitable for ____▲____? A. Search for the Mark. B. Explore the Mark. C. Search for the Mirror. D. Explore the Mirror. 37. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Since then, researchers have given the test to many kinds of animals. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 7 D.
