【解析】
【导语】本文围绕青少年学业压力与个人爱好的冲突展开,以学生刘英想成为歌手却遭到父母反对为例,探讨了青少年追求个人爱好与父母重视学业之间的矛盾,最后点明核心观点:虽然父母希望孩子成功无可厚非,但孩子的身心健康和快乐成长比单纯的学业成功更重要。
【41题详解】
句意:如今,越来越多的青少年承受着巨大的压力。根据前文“more and more”越来越多可知, 本空应是可数名词复数,所以teenager变为复数形式直接加-s,应填teenagers。
【42题详解】
句意:他们发现自己的书包变得越来越重,写作业的时间也越来越长。根据前文“much”后常接形容词/副词的比较级,本空应将形容词heavy变成比较级作表语,变y为i加er,应填heavier。
【43题详解】
句意:他们发现自己的书包变得越来越重,写作业的时间也越来越长。因为前方真正的主语hours是复数,句子时态为现在进行时,be动词用are。
【44题详解】
句意:但父母却认为这些爱好会妨碍学业。结合上下文语境,前文说青少年想发展爱好,后文说父母认为爱好会妨碍学业,是转折关系,注意句首首字母大写,应填But。
【45题详解】
句意:但父母却认为这些爱好会妨碍学业。固定搭配“get in the way of…”,意为 “……的妨碍”,应填the。
【46题详解】
句意:她一直希望长大后能成为一名职业歌手。根据when引导的时间状语从句,遵循“主将从现”规则,主语she是第三人称单数,grow变为grows。
【47题详解】
句意:然而,她的父母却不希望她练习唱歌。固定搭配“practice doing sth.”,意为 “练习做某事”,所以sing变为singing。
【48题详解】
句意:因为他们认为女儿应该努力学习,取得好成绩,考上一所好大学。因为句中“get good grades”取得好成绩和“go to a good university”去上好大学是并列关系,应用and连接。
【49题详解】
句意:你需要多花时间在作业上,因为成为职业歌手很难。固定搭配“spend time on sth.”,意为 “在某事上花费时间”。
【50题详解】
句意:这已经是她父亲第三次这么说了。根据后面time是单数形式,可知本空符合定冠词the后接序数词,three的序数词是third,表示“第三次”。
【51题详解】
句意:我知道父母是关心我的。因为“care about”是及物动词短语,about是介词后接人称代词宾格,I的宾格是me。
【52题详解】
句意:我应该被允许自己做决定。主语I和allow是被动关系(“被允许”),should后接动词原形,所以用be allowed。
【53题详解】
句意:这样我才有机会实现我的梦想。固定搭配“have a chance to do sth.”,意为“有机会做某事”,所以用本空用动词不定式,应填to achieve。
【54题详解】
句意:医生表示,过大的压力对孩子的成长有害。根据前文“children’s” 是名词所有格,可知本空应是名词,develop的名词形式是development。
【55题详解】
句意:对父母来说,希望孩子成功是人之常情,但让孩子健康快乐地成长更为重要。本空为定语,修饰名词children要用形容词作定语,success的形容词形式是successful。

根据“Nelson Street ( 3-minute walk), Embankment ( 5-minute walk), Charing Cross( 7-minute walk)”可知,Nelson Street地铁站步行3分钟即可到达博物馆,是距离最近的地铁站。
【57题详解】
根据价格信息“Prices: Children Over 13 & Adults ¥ 30/person, Children under 12: Free”可知,成人票价每人30元,12岁以下儿童免费,故艾玛10岁,故免费,父母是两个成人,故票价60元。

Our English teacher Mrs. Zhao let us do an English project—researching the traditional Chinese festivals. Here are two groups’ reports about it.
Linda: The subject we’ve chosen is the Lantern Festival. We’ve collected much information about the festival by doing some reading in the library.
The Lantern Festival has a history of about 2,000 years. It’s celebrated on the 15th day of the lunar month. People get together to enjoy colorful lanterns and play riddle games. Small gifts are usually offered when they get right answers. It’s tradition to eat tangyuan on this special day.
As for the next step, we will make our own lanterns and make some English riddles. This will help us understand the meaning of the festival better.
John: We learned about the Dragon Boat Festival. To do the research, we searched for information online and visited a local museum about culture and customs.
We’ve learned a lot about the festival. With a history of about 2,000 years, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the fifth lunar month. People usually celebrate it by watching boat races. Zongzi is the main traditional food that is eaten to honor the great poet Qu Yuan.
Next, we plan to learn how to make zongzi and produce an English video to make the festival known to more people around the world.

C
Music is used as an emotion (情绪) controlling tool. We usually use it to comfort our pain. Its strong energy is one of the main reasons. Why do people spend so much time and money on it? People can use music to achieve their different goals, such as feeling more relaxed, having less stress.
Listening to soft and slow music is good for dealing with terrible emotions. Further, if someone falls in love with lyrics, it will be able to give voice to his feelings and experiences. Listening to happy music can change one’s opinion towards the world.
Some music was played during a special event many years ago. When we listen to it again, we can be easy to deeply get into the past experience. The feeling is not in the music, but in what it reminds us. Many listeners use music to remind themselves of precious past events which they thought were quite important.
Music is so strong that it can change our relationship with time. Time does seem to fly when listening to pleasant music. Listening to smooth music can take people’s attention away from time. It’s clear that slow music makes people feel like time is much shorter than it actually is. So, music is used in the waiting rooms and the supermarkets.
62. What can music help people do according to the passage?
A. Get more money. B. Become more humorous.
C. Make more friends. D. Feel more comfortable.
63. What music can we try if we want to change our opinion?
A. Lucky music. B. Enjoyable music. C. Surprise music. D. Serious music.
64. What does the underlined word “precious” probably mean?
A. Strange. B. Interesting. C. Valuable. D. Necessary.
65. What will probably happen when the supermarket plays music?
A. Customers will buy more. B. Children will stay shorter.
C. Parents will leave quickly. D. Customers will be very few.
【答案】62. D 63. B 64. C 65. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了音乐在情绪调节、回忆唤起、时间感知等方面的作用。
【62题详解】
原文第一段提到“We usually use it to comfort our pain... such as feeling more relaxed, having less stress.”,由此可知音乐可以帮助人们感到更舒适、放松。
【63题详解】
原文第二段提到“Listening to happy music can change one’s opinion towards the world.”,其中happy music与选项中的enjoyable music表意相近,由此可知如果想改变对世界的看法,可以听令人愉快的音乐。
【64题详解】
原文第三段提到“Many listeners use music to remind themselves of precious past events which they thought were quite important.”,根据后文“which they thought were quite important”可知,precious在这里的意思是“珍贵的、有价值的”,与valuable意思一致。
【65题详解】
原文第四段提到“Time does seem to fly when listening to pleasant music... music is used in the waiting rooms and the supermarkets.”,由此可知超市播放音乐时,顾客会感觉时间过得更快,停留时间会更长,从而可能购买更多商品。
D
The Maowusu Desert, once one of the four main deserts in China, is becoming a green land. It is between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia and was known as “Devil’s Land (恶魔之地)” in the past. Many years ago, local people experienced a lot of sandstorms. Just to get out of their houses they had to clear thick sand away from front doors.
From 1959, local people decided to fight back the sand. Since then, they have planted trees to slow down the wind, and worked hard to turn the sandy land into farmland. Yin Yuzhen came to live near the Maowusu Desert after she married her husband in 1985. Once she saw a small tree growing in their yard, and then she decided to protect her family through planting trees.
Yin and her husband bought 600 small trees in the spring of 1986 and planted them around their house. Though she had taken very good care of the trees, only 10 of them were still alive in the following year. Instead of feeling sad, Yin was hopeful. She said it meant that trees could live in this environment. After 30 years of hard work by Yin and her family, the sand world around their house has become an endless green place.
Now 80% of the Maowusu Desert has been changed. Today, there are forests, farmlands, cows and sheep and even highways in the desert.
Clearly it is a miracle (奇迹). Millions of people’s hard work and the country’s plan and help make all of this come true. Now people there don’t have to worry about the sand-related disasters (灾难). What’s more, their lives have improved a lot.
66. What is the possible reason that the Maowusu Desert was called “Devil’s Land” ?
A. Because nobody lived there. B. Because it caused many sandstorms.
C. Because there was a devil story about it. D. Because many strange things happened there.
67. When did local people begin to fight back the sand?
A. From 1959. B. From 1985. C. From 1986. D. From 1989.
68. How did Yin feel after she found only 10 trees were alive in 1987?
A. She was sad. B. She was hopeless. C. She was worried. D. She was hopeful.
69. What does the writer want to show by taking the example of Yin Yuzhen?
A. To show the importance of water.
B. To show the living conditions near the desert.
C. To show people’s hark work in changing the desert.
D. To show the country’s plan to improve people’s lives.
70. What can we know about the Maowusu Desert today?
A. 80% of it is forests. B. There are farmlands.

原文第一段提到“Many years ago, local people experienced a lot of sandstorms. Just to get out of their houses they had to clear thick sand away from front doors.”,由此可知毛乌素沙漠被称为“恶魔之地”的原因是它会引发许多沙尘暴,给人们的生活带来极大困扰。

Our English teacher Mrs. Zhao let us do an English project—researching the traditional Chinese festivals. Here are two groups’ reports about it.
Linda: The subject we’ve chosen is the Lantern Festival. We’ve collected much information about the festival by doing some reading in the library.

The Maowusu Desert, once one of the four main deserts in China, is becoming a green land. It is between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia and was known as “Devil’s Land (恶魔之地)” in the past. Many years ago, local people experienced a lot of sandstorms. Just to get out of their houses they had to clear thick sand away from front doors.
From 1959, local people decided to fight back the sand. Since then, they have planted trees to slow down the wind, and worked hard to turn the sandy land into farmland. Yin Yuzhen came to live near the Maowusu Desert after she married her husband in 1985. Once she saw a small tree growing in their yard, and then she decided to protect her family through planting trees.
