【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述作者对家乡童年生活的回忆,包括夏冬趣事及家乡变化,表达了对旧时光的怀念和对家乡的热爱。
【1题详解】
句意:对我来说,这个地方是我的家乡。
根据后文“I really miss the old days in my hometown”,可知作者指的特殊地方是家乡。根据语境,hometown与全文主题一致。其他选项与后文提到的hometown不符。
【2题详解】
句意:每次想到它,许多人和事就会出现在我的脑海中。
根据“in my mind”,可知记忆是浮现或出现在脑海里,appear符合语境。happen指事情发生,record指记录,hide指隐藏,均不符合记忆浮现的语境。
【3题详解】
句意:我在那里度过了轻松的童年。
根据前文“I grew up with my grandparents”,可知指的是成长时期,即childhood。daytime、weekend、holiday时间段太短,无法涵盖“grew up”的过程。
【4题详解】
句意:夏天,我喜欢在清晨收集草上的露珠。根据后文“it took me several days to get one bottle”,可知动作是收集露珠。raise、drop、borrow均无法体现积攒露珠装瓶的过程。
【5题详解】
句意:那时我们似乎没有悲伤的事情。
根据后文“We always played happily”,可知生活充满快乐,没有悲伤。happy 与 happily 语义重复且逻辑不通;exciting 与 happily 构成转折但无连词;sad 与 happily 形成正反对比,符合语境。
【6题详解】
句意:它如此美丽以至于我现在仍然记得。
根据“in my mind now”,可知是对过去美景的记忆,remember符合。report、copy、notice均不符合记忆留存的心理活动。
【7题详解】
句意:冬天,大雪过后道路经常变得结冰。
根据“after the heavy snow”和“go skating”,可知路面结冰才能滑冰。thin、thick、strong无法描述雪后道路的状态。
【8题详解】
句意:我和朋友对下雪天很兴奋,因为我们既可以打雪仗,也可以去滑冰。
前后句是因果关系,兴奋的原因是能打雪仗,because引导原因状语从句。unless表条件,though表让步,until表时间,均不符合逻辑。
【9题详解】
句意:现在我住在城市,我的家乡已经改变了很多。
根据后文“Many old buildings were taken down and many new buildings appeared”,可知家乡发生了变化。shared、lost、served均无法概括建筑更替带来的变化。
【10题详解】
句意:我知道没有什么能一直保持不变。
根据常识及语境,事物总是在变化,nothing表示否定,符合“万物皆变”的哲理。everything表示全变或全不变均绝对;anything多用于否定疑问;something指特定事物,nothing最恰当。
VII. 短文填空 (共15小题,每小题1分,计15分)
A) 根据短文内容及所给提示,在文中的横线上填写一个正确的单词。
When I was thirteen years old, I went to a new school. It was my ____11____ (two) week at the new school. No one knew me yet. I was very lonely ____12____ afraid to make friends with anyone. The reason was that I was not good at ____13____ (communicate) with others. Every time I heard other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely.
One day, a girl entered the classroom. She looked ____14____ me and, without a word, smiled. ____15____ (she) smile made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like ____16____ hidden treasure. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people and often ____17____ (offer) help to them.
And they included me in their circle of ____18____ (member). From then on, I made more friends ____19____ (quick). The girl with the bright smile has become my ____20____ (good) friend now.

12. and 13. communicating
14. at 15. Her
16. a 17. offered
18. members

20. best

句意:那是我在新学校的第二周。此处表示“第二”,需用序数词,two的序数词形式为second。

句意:我非常孤独,而且害怕和任何人交朋友。lonely与afraid为并列的两种状态,需用并列连词and连接。

句意:原因是我不擅长和别人交流。be good at后接动名词作宾语,communicate的动名词形式为communicating。
【14题详解】
句意:她看着我,一句话也没说,只是笑了笑。“look at”是固定搭配,表示“看着”,用介词at。
【15题详解】
句意:她的微笑让我感到快乐、活泼和温暖。此处修饰名词smile,需用形容词性物主代词,she的形容词性物主代词为Her(句首首字母大写)。
【16题详解】
句意:它就像一件隐藏的宝藏。“hidden treasure”是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,用不定冠词a。
【17题详解】
句意:一天又一天,我学会了信任别人,也经常主动帮助他们。句子时态为一般过去时,and连接并列谓语,offer需与learnt 保持时态一致,用过去式offered。
【18题详解】
句意:他们把我纳入了他们的成员圈子。circle of members表示“成员圈子/朋友圈”,member为可数名词,此处用复数形式members表示多个成员。

Hi, I’m Kate. Summer vacation is coming. In order to have a colorful holiday, I make lots of plans. I used to spend too much time playing games on the phone and watching boring videos. So this time, I’m

文中Kate提到“I’m going to read more books”和“I’m going to do more sports”,因此她的计划是①Read more books和③Do more sports。②Go to bed early和④Join the drama club是Freddy的计划,不属于Kate,所以答案是①③。

One of the most unusual bears known to humans is the panda. Pandas live in southwestern China. They mostly live in bamboo forests. The adult pandas weigh from 175 to 275 kilos. They can grow to five to six feet in height. However, a newborn panda is about the size of a chipmunk (金花鼠). They hardly see anything when they are born, so they need to depend on their mother.
Pandas are active during both the day and night. The most important thing in a panda’s life is bamboo. They spend about 12 hours of their day eating bamboo. Pandas will take off the outside leaves of the bamboo and eat the soft part. Pandas have also been known for eating grass and fruit.

I used to believe I knew how to communicate with people around me, but later I found that there were many more things I needed to learn. I realized that when I was taking a pottery (陶艺) class.
In class, the teacher asked us to turn the clay (黏土) into a flower, and I happily started to do it. But Tony was still playing with his clay. “Hey, we need to make a flower,” I said. He looked at me and then kept quiet. I worried he wouldn’t have enough time to finish his work, so I made a flower for him. “Here,” I said, “you can use this one.” “Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted. My face turned red.
In the next class, I noticed he was making a tiger. He saw me looking at him and he glared at me and said, “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I didn’t know what to say. I was trying to be friendly, not impolite (不礼貌的), but Tony felt different. I was sad and almost cried at that time.
Later, I knew what Tony experienced. I felt sorry for what I had done to him. We don’t always know what’s going on in others’ lives. So give others enough space when getting along with them.
36. What did the writer realize according to Paragraph 1?
A. It was important to get on well with people.
B. It was important to take a pottery class.
C. He needed to take many classes.
D. He needed to learn more about communication.
37. What did the teacher ask the students to make?
A. A clay tiger. B. A clay flower.
C. A clay cat. D. A clay toy.
38. What does the underlined phrase “glared at” probably mean?
A. Spoke to someone kindly. B. Looked at somebody angrily.
C. Said something in surprise. D. Showed a smile to somebody.
39. Which of the following shows how the writer’s feelings changed?
A. Happy→worried→sad→sorry.
B. Happy→nervous→angry→sad.
C. Sad→happy→upset→excited.
D. Nervous→surprised→happy→thankful.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Show Others Enough Care B. Help Others in Need
C. Understand Others’ Mistakes D. Give Others Enough Space
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. B 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在陶艺课上因过度干涉同学创作而引发矛盾,最终明白与人相处时应给他人留足空间的故事。
【36题详解】
第一段提到“I used to believe I knew how to communicate with people around me, but later I found that there were many more things I needed to learn.”,说明作者意识到自己需要学习更多关于沟通的知识。
【37题详解】
第二段提到“In class, the teacher asked us to turn the clay into a flower”,说明老师要求学生用黏土制作一朵花。
【38题详解】
根据上下文语境,Tony之前因为作者干涉他而大喊大叫,这次看到作者看他时又质问作者是否又要教他怎么做,语气不友好。因此“glared at”意为“怒视”,即生气地看着某人。
【39题详解】
开始时作者“happily started”;看到Tony没动手时“I worried”;被Tony吼了以及第二次被质问时“I was sad”;最后了解情况后“I felt sorry”。情感变化顺序为Happy→worried→sad→sorry,对应选项A。
【40题详解】
文章通过作者两次干涉Tony创作引发矛盾的经历,引出结尾“So give others enough space when getting along with them.”的反思,点明主旨:与人相处时应尊重他人边界、给彼此留足空间,因此最佳标题为“Give Others Enough Space”。

“Exercise for one hour every day to live a healthy life for a lifetime.” I’m Ma Li, and I often see this sentence (句子) on the playground. Exercising is a very meaningful thing.
A few days ago, I found an interesting exercise—yoga (瑜伽). I heard that this exercise can help us relieve stress and live a better life. So I decided to have a try. At first, I found it difficult to learn, but I didn’t give up. I closed my eyes and didn’t think about other things while practicing it. I enjoyed the happy moments that yoga brought me.
The stress is like a heavy thing but yoga helps me throw it away and makes my body relaxed after every yoga class. Every time I feel tired and sad, the yoga classroom is a good place for me to relax.
Yoga is not only a kind of sport, but a way of life because it teaches me to face the hard times. I believe as long as I keep exercising, I will live a healthy life. For everyone experiencing hard times, I would say:________

【44题详解】
第四段提到“Yoga is not only a kind of sport, but a way of life because it teaches me to face the hard times.”,说明Ma Li认为瑜伽是一种生活方式,因为它教会她面对困难时期。
【45题详解】
第四段提到“I believe as long as I keep exercising, I will live a healthy life.”,结合Ma Li练习瑜伽缓解压力、学会面对困难的经历,她很可能会鼓励他人在遇到困境时坚持锻炼,保持积极的生活态度。答案不唯一,合理即可。
X. 补全对话 (共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据下面对话中的情境,在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句,使对话恢复完整。
A: Hello, Kim. ____46____?
B: Hi, Dave. I’m listening to a band called The Toms. Have you heard of them?
A: ____47____. Are they a new band?
B: Yes, they only started singing earlier this year. But they’ve already made two CDs.
A: Wow, they must be really popular. ____48____?
B: They are from New York in the US.
A: ____49____?
B: There are five people in the band and they are all teenage boys.
A: ____50____?
B: They play pop music. But it sounds more like rock. I like their music because it’s full of energy.
【答案】46. What are you doing?
47. No./No, I haven’t.
48. Where are they from?
49. How many people/members are there in the band?
50. What kind of music do they play?
【解析】
【导语】这段对话是Kim和Dave之间有关乐队的交流。
【46题详解】
A在开头打招呼后,根据B的回答“I’m listening to a band”可知,A应询问对方正在做什么。“What are you doing?”直接引出下文,符合对话推进逻辑。
【47题详解】

Dear friends,
Grade Eight is an exciting time, but you will probably meet some problems . For example, some students find it difficult to communicate with their parents. Some feel worried about their study and others may feel lonely.

In class, the teacher asked us to turn the clay (黏土) into a flower, and I happily started to do it. But Tony was still playing with his clay. “Hey, we need to make a flower,” I said. He looked at me and then kept quiet. I worried he wouldn’t have enough time to finish his work, so I made a flower for him. “Here,” I said, “you can use this one.” “Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted. My face turned red.
In the next class, I noticed he was making a tiger. He saw me looking at him and he glared at me and said, “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I didn’t know what to say. I was trying to be friendly, not impolite (不礼貌的), but Tony felt different. I was sad and almost cried at that time.
