She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories. When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet. Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake. “Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever. 4. What made Lena think of the old stories? A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar. C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos. 5. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar? A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time. C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday. 6. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later? A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了62岁的莉娜在阁楼发现了一把旧吉他，这把吉他让她回忆起童年与父亲和家人共度的美好时光，多年后再次弹奏时，她依然感到快乐，文章告诉我们音乐让我们的内心保持年轻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories.(吉他的木质琴身是灰色的，琴弦也断了，但它唤起了一连串温暖的往事)”可知，是发现的吉他让莉娜想起了过去的故事。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes.(“音乐能让每个瞬间都变得特别，”每当莉娜费力地识谱时，父亲总会微笑着说)”和“That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music.(那一年，父亲把吉他作为新年礼物送给了她，告诉她要用音乐记录与家人在一起的时刻)”可推知，莉娜的父亲教她弹吉他，是为了让她记录与家人在一起的时刻，珍惜和家人在一起的时光。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart.(她换上琴弦，试着弹奏那首老歌——她的手指有点疼，但这首歌感觉就像来自过去的拥抱。虽然她的手指没有以前那么灵活，声音也有点颤抖，但同样的快乐充满了她的心)”可知，多年后莉娜弹奏那首老歌时感到快乐。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever.(年龄可能会让我们看起来变老，但我们心中的音乐却永远年轻)”可知，文章主要讲述了62岁的莉娜在阁楼发现了一把旧吉他，这把吉他让她回忆起童年与父亲和家人共度的美好时光，多年后再次弹奏时，她依然感到快乐。由此可知，文章想要告诉我们音乐让我们的内心保持年轻。故选C项。 C Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. Now, it’s getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet’s total to 274. A moon is any naturally formed object that moves around a planet. Moons come in different shapes and sizes. Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope (望远镜), which is used to study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists took many photos of areas in space and put them on top of each other to make the moons appear bright enough to discover. Most of Saturn’s new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide — quite different to Earth’s Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Many people are curious about the fact that Saturn has so many moons while Earth only has one. According to scientists, many millions of years ago, the huge planet’s gravity (引力) attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons. The new moons were first discovered by a team of scientists led by Edward Ashton, and were recently accepted officially by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Saturn now is the planet with the most moons — Jupiter is not far behind with 95. However, Dr. Ashton believes this might be the limit for moon discovery. “I don’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technology, I don’t think we can do better than what has already been done,” he added. 8. Why does Saturn gain new attention? A. It is circled by beautiful rings. B. It is studied easily through a telescope. C. Its more photos have been taken. D. Its new moons have been observed. 9. What does the underlined part “the ringed planet” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Saturn. B. Titan. C. Moon. D. Earth. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss about Saturn? A. Where it came from. B. How its moons orbit it. C. Why it has so many moons. D. When its rings were formed. 11. What do Dr. Ashton’s words mean? A. Current technology needs improvement. B. Jupiter will soon catch up with Saturn. C. He is satisfied with his team’s work. D. Saturn’s new moons will appear soon. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家新发现土星的128颗卫星，使其卫星总数达到274颗，超过了木星，成为太阳系中拥有最多卫星的行星，并解释了土星卫星数量众多的可能原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, it’s getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet’s total to 274.(现在，它因更加惊人而受到关注。科学家们已经发现了土星周围的128颗新卫星，使这颗行星的总数达到274颗)”可知，土星获得新关注是因为其新卫星被发现。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Most of Saturn’s new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide — quite different to Earth’s Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan.(土星新发现的卫星大多是小天体，直径仅一两英里——这与地球直径达2,159英里的球形卫星截然不同。这些太空岩石的运行轨道也颇为奇特。它们环绕土星的方向与土星自身的自转方向相反。这些新卫星距离the ringed planet650万至1800万英里，比土星最大的卫星土卫六还要遥远)”可知，文章介绍了新发现的这些卫星绕着土星运行，并把它们与土星的最大卫星——土卫六(Titan)——进行了比较，比较了它们与土星之间的距离，指出“这些新卫星距离the ringed planet650万至1800万英里”。由此推知，“the ringed planet”指的就是土星本身，即Saturn。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Many people are curious about the fact that Saturn has so many moons while Earth only has one. According to scientists, many millions of years ago, the huge planet’s gravity (引力) attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons.(许多人都对土星有这么多卫星而地球只有一个的事实感到好奇。根据科学家的说法，数百万年前，这颗巨大行星的引力吸引了一些岩石和冰。随着时间的推移，其中一些相互碰撞，分裂成更小的碎片或聚集在一起，形成了许多小卫星)”可知，本段主要讨论了为什么土星有如此多的卫星。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Dr. Ashton的话““I don’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technology, I don’t think we can do better than what has already been done,” he added.(他说：“我认为木星永远也赶不上了。”他补充说：“以目前的技术，我不认为我们能做得比已经完成的更好了。”)”可推知，Dr. Ashton认为在现有技术下已达到了发现极限，他们已经做得足够好了，这表达了他对团队工作成果的满意。故选C项。 D When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds. Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on. Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show. Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”. But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them. 12. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1? A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money. B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds. C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds. D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids. 13. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer? A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better. C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before. 14. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding? A. It is completely good for birds. B. It may help the spread of disease. C. It connects more and more people to the natural world. D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves. 15. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window? A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如今英国人的喂食花园鸟类的行为展开论述。文章介绍了人类的喂食行为对鸟类进化的影响，英国人喂养花园鸟类的习惯的历史以及人们对喂鸟行为的看法等。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分上文“Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year.”可知，如今，这些鸟可以享用很多食物：从植物种子到葵花籽，从蛋糕到肉丸。所有这些都要花费每年大约2亿英镑的巨大成本，所以作者认为人们在花园的鸟食上花费了太多的钱，即划线部分意思为“我们花了很多钱在花园的鸟食上”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.(然而在过去的几十年里，许多种类的鸟的喙变长了，因为长喙的鸟可以得到更多的食物，从而更有可能生存下去)”可知，许多鸟的喙变长了，这背后的原因是长喙意味着更多的生存机会。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a ‘dependence culture’.(在澳大利亚，一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟可能是错误的——鸟类喂养创造了一种‘依赖文化’)”可知，澳大利亚的一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟是错误的，因为喂鸟可能会降低鸟类自己寻找食物的能力，造成对人类的依赖。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.(但是我们不应该忘记给花园里的鸟喂食的一个主要好处——它把数百万人与自然世界联系在一起。这对很少到更广阔的农村地区的人来说尤其重要。当我写这篇文章的时候，窗外传来了一些声音:几只鸟儿在我的花园里唱歌、飞翔。这是我多年前只能想象的景象，当时给花园里的鸟儿喂食只是向它们扔硬面包)”可推知，当作者听到窗外鸟鸣时，他感觉很高兴。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You might see studying as a boring job, but if you make things around you more interesting, you’ll love studying. ·Use colorful study material.

Students worked in pairs, and the rule was clear: We must grow tomatoes from seeds (种子). The winner would get a small gold cup. Mr. Lee, the principal (校长), said, “This competition isn’t just about having the best tomatoes. It’s about learning to wait and work hard.” But Tod, my partner, wanted to win so much. “Growing from seeds takes months,” he said worriedly. “What if our seeds don’t grow well?” I thought for a long time. I knew Mr. Lee was right, but Tod’s idea sounded good to think about. “Let’s buy young tomato plants from the market,” he said. “Everyone will be busy with their own plants. No one will know our tomatoes didn’t start from seeds,” he said again. I felt nervous, but I also wanted to win. That weekend, we went to the market quietly. The seller gave us three strong young tomato plants. We carried them in a bag, afraid someone from school would see us. We planted them in our school garden. Though we didn’t water them every day, they grew fast. Soon, big green leaves grew out, and red tomatoes came out. Two months later, the competition ended. Our tomatoes were bright red, big and round, so we won the first prize! We stood on the stage, holding the small gold cup proudly, while the principal praised us for our “hard work”. But when Tod and I walked back to class, we passed Class 5’s garden. Their tomato plants were smaller, with only a few small tomatoes, but they looked healthy. We saw two boys from Class 5carefully tying the plants to small sticks to keep them straight. They talked to their teacher loudly. “We planted seeds on March 15th,” they said. “Every morning, we came to water them. Some days, the soil was dry, so we watered them again in the evening.” The teacher smiled and said, “You did a great job. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t win the award this time.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing their words, Tod and I felt ashamed and reflected what we did. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tod and I entered the principal’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing their words, Tod and I felt ashamed and reflected on what we did. Our tomatoes were big, but we didn’t work hard for them. “Winning doesn’t feel good now,” I said. “The group in Class 5 worked so hard every day. They followed the rules, but they didn’t win. We didn’t follow the rules, and we got the prize.” We walked slowly, not talking for a while. Then Tod told me that we should tell the principal the truth. I knew that was the right thing to do. I agreed right away. The next day, Tod and I entered the principal’s office. We told him everything — how we bought young plants instead of growing from seeds, and how ashamed we felt after seeing Class 5’s hard work. The principal listened patiently and then said, “I’m proud of you two for telling me the truth. A prize won by cheating never brings real joy.” We returned the gold cup, and a heavy weight lifted from our hearts. The competition taught us that the real success isn’t about winning first place, but about choosing what’s right even when no one is watching. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和搭档Tod为了赢得学校“自己种植西红柿”比赛的奖杯，没有按照规则从种子开始种植，而是从市场买了幼苗来种，最终赢得了比赛，但在看到五班同学认真遵循规则种植却未获奖后，他们感到羞愧，决定向校长坦白真相的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“听到他们的话，Tod和我感到羞愧，反思我们所做的一切。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Tod意识到自己的错误，决定向校长坦白真相。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Tod和我走进了校长的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Tod向校长坦白一切后，校长对他们的教导以及他们的感悟。 2.续写线索：感到羞愧——反思错误——决定坦白——进入校长办公室——坦白真相——校长教导——归还奖杯——感悟成功真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②归还奖杯：return the gold cup /give back the gold cup ③选择：choose/select 情绪类 ①专心的：patiently/attentively ②高兴：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Then Tod told me that we should tell the principal the truth.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】The competition taught us that the real success isn’t about winning first place, but about choosing what’s right even when no one is watching.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，what引导的宾语从句，when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 自贡一中2025-2026学年度下学期期期中考试 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中 选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．How much should the man pay?

B Lena, a 62-year-old woman living in a quiet Canadian town, found an old guitar in the attic (阁楼) last week. She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories. When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet. Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake. “Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever. 4. What made Lena think of the old stories? A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar. C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos. 5. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar? A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time. C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday. 6. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later? A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life. C Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. Now, it’s getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet’s total to 274. A moon is any naturally formed object that moves around a planet. Moons come in different shapes and sizes. Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope (望远镜), which is used to study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists took many photos of areas in space and put them on top of each other to make the moons appear bright enough to discover. Most of Saturn’s new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide — quite different to Earth’s Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Many people are curious about the fact that Saturn has so many moons while Earth only has one. According to scientists, many millions of years ago, the huge planet’s gravity (引力) attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons. The new moons were first discovered by a team of scientists led by Edward Ashton, and were recently accepted officially by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Saturn now is the planet with the most moons — Jupiter is not far behind with 95. However, Dr. Ashton believes this might be the limit for moon discovery. “I don’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technology, I don’t think we can do better than what has already been done,” he added. 8. Why does Saturn gain new attention? A. It is circled by beautiful rings. B. It is studied easily through a telescope. C. Its more photos have been taken. D. Its new moons have been observed. 9. What does the underlined part “the ringed planet” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Saturn. B. Titan. C. Moon. D. Earth. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss about Saturn? A. Where it came from. B. How its moons orbit it. C. Why it has so many moons. D. When its rings were formed. 11. What do Dr. Ashton’s words mean? A. Current technology needs improvement. B. Jupiter will soon catch up with Saturn. C. He is satisfied with his team’s work. D. Saturn’s new moons will appear soon. D When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds. Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on. Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show. Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”. But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside.

It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them. 12. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1? A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money. B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds. C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds. D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids. 13. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer? A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better. C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before. 14. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding? A. It is completely good for birds. B. It may help the spread of disease. C. It connects more and more people to the natural world. D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves. 15. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window? A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D.

Students worked in pairs, and the rule was clear: We must grow tomatoes from seeds (种子). The winner would get a small gold cup. Mr. Lee, the principal (校长), said, “This competition isn’t just about having the best tomatoes. It’s about learning to wait and work hard.” But Tod, my partner, wanted to win so much. “Growing from seeds takes months,” he said worriedly. “What if our seeds don’t grow well?” I thought for a long time. I knew Mr. Lee was right, but Tod’s idea sounded good to think about. “Let’s buy young tomato plants from the market,” he said. “Everyone will be busy with their own plants. No one will know our tomatoes didn’t start from seeds,” he said again. I felt nervous, but I also wanted to win. That weekend, we went to the market quietly. The seller gave us three strong young tomato plants. We carried them in a bag, afraid someone from school would see us. We planted them in our school garden. Though we didn’t water them every day, they grew fast. Soon, big green leaves grew out, and red tomatoes came out. Two months later, the competition ended. Our tomatoes were bright red, big and round, so we won the first prize! We stood on the stage, holding the small gold cup proudly, while the principal praised us for our “hard work”. But when Tod and I walked back to class, we passed Class 5’s garden. Their tomato plants were smaller, with only a few small tomatoes, but they looked healthy. We saw two boys from Class 5carefully tying the plants to small sticks to keep them straight. They talked to their teacher loudly. “We planted seeds on March 15th,” they said. “Every morning, we came to water them. Some days, the soil was dry, so we watered them again in the evening.” The teacher smiled and said, “You did a great job. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t win the award this time.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing their words, Tod and I felt ashamed and reflected what we did. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tod and I entered the principal’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
