They 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这对于孩子们来说，知道如何保护自己免受危险是必要的。 He他；She她；It它；They他们。根据“It is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.”固定句型可知，此处需用It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to know...。应填It。 2. — What do you think of being a volunteer for the JSCL(江苏城市联赛)? — Well, I feel________ to work here as a volunteer. A. proud B. polite C. serious D. simple 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得成为江苏城市联赛的志愿者怎么样？——嗯，我觉得在这里作为一名志愿者工作很自豪。 proud自豪的；polite礼貌的；serious严肃的；simple简单的。根据问句“What do you think of being a volunteer...”可知，此处询问对志愿者工作的感受，参与赛事志愿服务通常让人感到光荣，feel proud to do sth.表示“做某事感到自豪”，符合语境。 3. —How does UNICEF help people? —It provides basic ________ for children. A. pollution B. education C. information D. situation 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——联合国儿童基金会如何帮助人们？——它为儿童提供基础教育。 pollution污染；education教育；information信息；situation情况。根据“How does UNICEF help people?”及常识可知，联合国儿童基金会旨在帮助儿童，提供“基础教育”符合语境和帮助他人的主题。 4.

A. at all B. in all C. after all D. above all 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：有很多保护眼睛的方法，但最重要的是，你最好定期检查视力。 at all丝毫；in all总共，after all毕竟；above all最重要的是。根据前句“There are many ways to...”和后句“but..., you’d better check your eyesight regularly (定期地).”，前半句提到有很多方法，后半句通过but转折，意在强调众多方法中“定期检查视力”这一条最为关键或重要。应填above all。 5. Peter, if you keep making much noise at home, you ________ by your father. A. punish B. punished C. will punish D. will be punished 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：彼得，如果你在家里一直制造这么多噪音，你会被你父亲惩罚的。 根据句中“by your father”可知，主语you和动词punish之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；同时，if引导的条件状语从句遵循主将从现原则，从句用一般现在时（keep），主句应用一般将来时。应填will be punished。 6. Look! Our new hall is________ to hold 1,800 people. It is three times bigger than the old one. A. small enough B. big enough C. too small D. too big 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：看！我们的新大厅足够大，能容纳一千八百人。它是旧大厅的三倍大。 small enough足够小；big enough足够大；too small太小；too big太大。enough修饰形容词时需要放在形容词之后，结构为“adj.+enough+to do sth.”表示肯定意义，意为“足够……去做某事”；“too+adj.+to do sth.”表示否定意义，意为“太……而不能……”。根据后句“It is three times bigger than the old one.”可知新大厅很大，且语境表明能容纳一千八百人，说明新大厅“足够大”，故填big enough。 7. Playing computer games takes too much time. He is warned to________ playing them. A. carry on B. give up C. cut down D. push in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：玩电脑游戏花费太多时间。他被警告要放弃玩它们。 carry on继续；give up放弃；cut down削减；push in插队。根据前句“Playing computer games takes too much time.”可知，因为花费时间太多，所以他被警告应该“放弃/戒除”玩电脑游戏，故填give up。 8. Children under 16________ ride e-bikes according to the traffic rules. A. have to B. don’t have to C. must D. mustn’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：根据交通规则，16岁以下的儿童禁止骑电动车。 have to不得不；don’t have to不必；must必须；mustn’t禁止。根据“according to the traffic rules”可知，此处指按照交通规则规定，16岁以下孩子不允许骑电动车，表示明令禁止的事情。故选mustn’t。 9. —We should take action to protect our environment. —________. Let’s plant more trees. A. Never mind B. Good luck C. I agree D. With pleasure 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们应该采取行动保护我们的环境。——我同意。让我们种更多的树吧。 Never mind没关系，用于回答道歉或安慰；Good luck祝你好运；I agree我同意；With pleasure很乐意，用于答应请求。根据“We should take action to protect our environment.”和“Let’s plant more trees.”，上文提出保护环境的建议，下文提议种更多的树，说明回答者“赞同”对方的观点。应填I agree。 10. — The Chinese women’s football team has won the Asian Championship after years of hard work. —________! We should learn from them. A. No pain,no gain B. Every dog has its day C. Burn the candle at both ends D. It never rains but it pours 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——中国女足经过多年的努力终于赢得了亚洲冠军。——一分耕耘，一分收获！我们应该向她们学习。 No pain, no gain一分耕耘，一分收获；Every dog has its day人人皆有得意时；Burn the candle at both ends过度消耗精力；It never rains but it pours祸不单行。根据前句“after years of hard work”可知，此处强调付出努力才能获得回报，应填No pain, no gain。 三、完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Arthur was a kind-hearted man who always loved to help others.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述善良的Arthur总是帮助邻居Grasley，却常被利用。搬家时Grasley贪心索要戒指，Arthur巧妙反击，揭示友谊需互惠的道理。 【11题详解】 句意：他的邻居Grasley知道这一点，并且常常利用Arthur的善良。 根据上文“Arthur was a kind-hearted man”可知，Arthur的优点是“善良”，Grasley利用的正是他的kindness。happiness“快乐”；sadness“悲伤”；weakness“弱点”，均不符合。 【12题详解】 句意：Grasley会请Arthur帮他打理花园、在他外出时照顾他的狗，甚至帮他洗车。 根据语境，“照顾狗”应用look after。look at“看”；look for“寻找”；look out“小心”，均不符合。 【13题详解】 句意：每次，Grasley都会甜甜地感谢Arthur，但他从未主动提出帮助Arthur作为回报。 根据上文Grasley只索取不回报，以及下文他拒绝帮助Arthur收衣服可知，他“从未”帮助过Arthur。 【14题详解】 句意：一天，Arthur生病了，他问Grasley能否在下雨之前把他晾在外面的衣服收进来。 根据语境，为了保护衣服不被淋湿，应在下雨“之前”收衣服。 【15题详解】 句意：但Grasley找了个借口就离开了，把Arthur的衣服留在雨中淋湿。 根据“made an excuse”和结果“leaving Arthur’s laundry out”可知，他找借口后“离开了”。left“离开”符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：Grasley在股市工作，赚了很多钱。 根据“stock market”（股市）和下文买新车新房，可知是赚了很多钱。 【17题详解】 句意：他收拾好重要的东西，把公寓的钥匙交还到公寓，然后去了车库，准备搬进新家。 the key to...是固定搭配，意为“……的钥匙”。其他介词搭配不当。 【18题详解】 句意：Grasley很惊讶，并感谢Arthur的帮助。 根据上文Grasley曾拒绝帮助Arthur，但Arthur仍在帮他洗车，这种反差令Grasley感到惊讶。surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：他注意到Arthur手指上的金戒指，被贪婪所驱使，试图从他那里得到它。 此处指代前文提到的“the gold ring”，是单数物体，应用 it。 【20题详解】 句意：我希望我能有一个你的纪念品。 “I wish I could...”是虚拟语气常用结构，表达一种愿望，符合想要戒指的语境。 【21题详解】 句意：Arthur微笑着拍了拍他的肩膀，甚至更用力。 修饰比较级harder，表示程度加深，常用 even。其他选项不常修饰比较级或语意不符。 【22题详解】 句意：我也有同感。 根据上文“You’re a good friend”可知，Arthur说自己也“同样”感觉。the same way是固定搭配，意为“同样的方式/感觉”，表示Arthur表面附和Grasley的话。 【23题详解】 句意：不如把你的车钥匙留给我吧？ 根据语境，Arthur提议Grasley把车钥匙留下，由他开去新家，意为“取而代之、反而”，应用instead。too“也”；either“也（否定）”；anyway“无论如何”，均不符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：Grasley意识到自己被Arthur扭转了局势，但已经太晚了。 根据"turned the tables"（扭转局势），说明Grasley反应过来时已经无法改变结果，即“太晚了”。 【25题详解】 句意：但现在他明白了，真正的友谊在于给予和索取，而不仅仅是索取。 根据“not just taking”可知，友谊还应有“给予”，与taking对应。giving“给予”符合语境。keeping“保留”；accepting“接受”；receiving“收到”，均不符合。 四、阅读 (共两节, 满分35分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A How do people greet visitors? In most countries, people shake hands when they meet. However, the world is made up of many different cultures. Other cultures have special customs. Read on to find out! France France is famous for its people’s romantic (浪漫的) way of greeting. They touch their face and make a kissing sound. Brazil Come and take a bath! Indians in Brazil(巴西) love bathing very much. When you visit them, they will invite you to take a bath in a river with them. Thailand People in Thailand press their hands together and bow to greet each other. If you hold your hands higher or take a lower bow, you show more respect to others. New Zealand The custom of welcoming someone is called the “hongi”. People touch their noses together when they meet. They are sharing their breath with their guests. 26. How many ways of greeting are there in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 27. Which country greets people by touching noses? A. France. B. Brazil. C. Thailand. D. New Zealand. 28. Which part of the newspaper is the passage taken from? A. Science. B. Culture. C. Travel. D. Business. 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍不同国家问候习俗的说明文，以表格形式列举了法国、巴西、泰国、新西兰这四个国家的特色问候方式，展现了不同文化背景下独特的社交礼仪，让读者了解到除握手外，世界各地还有许多有趣的问候传统。 【26题详解】 根据文章表格内容可知，文中分别介绍了France（法国）、Brazil（巴西）、Thailand（泰国）、New Zealand（新西兰）这四个国家的问候方式，以及文章开头中“ In most countries, people shake hands when they meet.”，因此共计五种。 【27题详解】 定位到表格中New Zealand部分，根据句子“People touch their noses together when they meet.（人们见面时鼻子碰在一起），可知新西兰人通过碰鼻来问候。 【28题详解】 文章主要介绍了不同国家独特的问候习俗和文化差异（customs and cultures），属于风俗文化范畴，而非科学、旅游或商业内容，因此最可能出自报纸的“文化（Culture）”板块。 B We usually think fish can’t talk. But there are a lot of sounds under the ocean(海洋). In fact, scientists believe that all sea animals - at least 250,000 kinds - can “speak”! “When we dive, we can hear animals all around us,” UK scientist Steve Simpson told the BBC. In the past years, scientists used sound recorders (录音机) to hear fish’s “voices”. There are now thousands of recorders in the ocean. They help scientists match sounds with sea life. A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the ocean. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of sounds made by fish. When some coral reefs died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas, scientists heard the animals come back. By listening to the ocean, scientists start to understand sea animals’ languages. Strong clownfish make short “chirp” sounds when going after small clownfish. They do this to show they are more powerful. A damselfish can make a pop sound to scare (惊吓) other fish by quickly opening and closing its mouth. Mother dolphins can use a special voice to talk to their babies. They are saying “I’m here” to comfort the baby dolphins. 29. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to(指的是)? A. Coral reefs. B. Animals’ voices. C. Sound recorders. D. Sea life. 30. According to the passage, how can scientists tell if a coral reef is healthy? A. By noticing the color of the coral reef. B. By listening to the sounds in the coral reef. C. By watching the size of the coral reef. D. By counting the number of fish in the coral reef. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The sounds of animals in the ocean. B. The effect of healthy sea life. C. The health of living things in the sea. D. The ways of protecting sea life. 【答案】29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了海洋动物也能“发声交流”的现象，讲述了科学家利用录音机记录海洋声音、通过声音判断珊瑚礁健康状况，以及不同海洋动物发出特定声音的作用，展现了海洋声音世界的奇妙。 【29题详解】 根据文章第二段中“There are now thousands of recorders in the ocean. They help scientists match sounds with sea life.”前一句提到海洋里有成千上万台录音机，后一句说明它们帮助科学家将声音与海洋生物对应起来，因此“They”指代前文提到的“录音机sound recorders”。 【30题详解】 根据文章第三段中“A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the ocean. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it.”明确说明科学家通过听珊瑚礁里的声音来判断其是否健康。 【31题详解】 最后一段列举了小丑鱼、雀鲷、海豚等海洋动物发出的不同声音及其作用，整体围绕“海洋中动物的声音”展开，介绍了不同声音的功能与含义。 C Traditional(传统的) Chinese Medicine(TCM) is like a treasure in Chinese history. It is an important part of China. Chinese doctors have smart ways to find out what is wrong with patients, like “looking, listening, asking, and feeling your pulse (脉搏)”. They also have special ways to solve(解决) health problems, like using herbs (草药) and acupuncture(针灸). The ideas of TCM emerged (形成) for the first time during the period from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty. The Shennong Ben Cao Jing was the beginning to understand how the herbs could help us. It tells the story of an emperor who tasted hundreds of herbs. Unluckily, he ate one that made him really sick. His findings are important in Chinese Medicine and that’s why we remember him as “Shennong” or the God of Chinese Medicine. This book records 365 plants, and a lot of them are used in medical treatment even until today. In the 1970s, people around the world started to regard Chinese acupuncture as a real way to help with health. In 2020, when COVID-19 was causing big trouble, TCM also did well in treatment during the hard time because it helps people without any side effects (副作用). More people everywhere are taking interest in Chinese Medicine. They’re using it and learning about it. With China getting stronger, TCM is expected to be a shining star in the world of health. It helps people understand Chinese medicine and learn why it is believed to be a treasure of our Chinese culture. 32. Chinese doctors have the following ways to check patients except ________. A. tasting B. looking C. listening D. asking 33. Why are the emperor’s findings important in Chinese Medicine? A. Because he tasted hundreds of herbs. B. Because he got sick from one of the herbs. C. Because they are useful even until today. D. Because they make us remember him. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Chinese acupuncture was widely used in the 1970s. B. Chinese Medicine is more effective than other treatments. C. Chinese Medicine helps people with a few side effects. D. Chinese Medicine treated patients well during COVID-19. 35. The purpose of the passage is to introduce ________. A. the beginning of TCM. B. the development of TCM. C. the ideas of TCM. D. the success of TCM. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中医的诊断方法、起源发展、国际认可度及未来前景，展现了中医作为中国文化瑰宝的价值与影响力。 【32题详解】 根据原文第一句提到的中医诊断方法“looking, listening, asking, and feeling your pulse（望、闻、问、切）”，可知不包括tasting（尝）。 【33题详解】 根据原文第二段提到《神农本草经》“records 365 plants, and a lot of them are used in medical treatment even until today”，说明他的发现至今仍有实用价值。 【34题详解】 根据原文第三段“In 2020, when COVID-19 was causing big trouble, TCM also did well in treatment during the hard time”，说明中医在新冠疫情期间治疗效果很好。 【35题详解】 文章从中医的诊断方法、起源、发展（古代 - 现代 - 国际应用）到未来前景，完整介绍了中医的发展历程。 D After returning home, Roberta wanted to know if (是否) the old gentleman could help the Russian find his family. So the children wrote to the old gentleman. The children took the letter to the station master and asked him to give it to the old gentleman. The next day, they went to the station. When the train came, the old gentleman got off. The children ran up to him. “Thank you for coming to talk to us,” Roberta said. “I’m happy to,” the old gentleman said. “Let’s go into the waiting room.” They all went into the waiting room. The children told the old gentleman about the Russian. “He wrote a book,” Peter said, “and it made the government so angry that they put him in prison.” “What’s his name?” the old gentleman asked. “I can’t pronounce (发音) it,” Peter said, “but l can spell it.” He wrote down the Russian’s name on a piece of paper. It was Mr. Szczepansky. “I know that name,” the old gentleman said. “I’ve read his book. I know many Russians in London, and they will know this man. But now, tell me all about yourselves. You’re such good children, and your mother is so kind to help a poor refugee (避难者). I want to know everything about you.” The children began to talk about themselves, their mother, and their father. Phyllis left the waiting room for a short time and then came back carrying a pot of tea and some bread and butter. “Perks, the porter, gave this to me,” she said. The children had a delightful tea party with the old man. Then, he got on the next train and went on his way to London. Ten days later, the children were sitting above the station when the 5:15 train came in. They saw the old gentleman get off. The children ran down to the station. The old gentleman was waiting for them. “I have good news for you,” he said. “l have found the Russian’s wife and child. May I come with you to your cottage (村舍) and tell him the good news?” The children led the old gentleman to their cottage. —Adapted from The Railway Children 36.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《铁路少年》，讲述了孩子们写信请老绅士帮助一位俄罗斯难民寻找家人，老绅士答应帮忙并成功找到其妻儿的故事。 【36题详解】 根据第一段中“After returning home, Roberta wanted to know if the old gentleman could help the Russian find his family. So the children wrote to the old gentleman.”可知，孩子们写信是为了帮助俄罗斯人找到他的家人。 【37题详解】 根据第九段中“I know that name...I’ve read his book.”可知，老绅士读过Szczepansky先生写的书。 【38题详解】 根据倒数第四段中“The children had a delightful tea party with the old man.”并结合上下文孩子们和老绅士一起愉快地喝茶聊天的氛围可知，delightful意为“愉快的、令人高兴的”，与cheerful“快乐的”意思最接近。 【39题详解】 根据原文叙述顺序：首先，俄罗斯人写了一本书（①）；然后孩子们写信给老绅士请求帮助（③）；接着孩子们在等候室谈论自己和家人（④）；最后老绅士找到了俄罗斯人的家人（②）。因此正确顺序为①③④②。 【40题详解】 文章主要讲述了孩子们和老绅士一起帮助俄罗斯人寻找家人的故事，因此“A Family Search”（寻亲）是最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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。 Sometimes, we all need to make our lives more enjoyable.

In most countries, people shake hands when they meet. However, the world is made up of many different cultures. Other cultures have special customs. Read on to find out! France France is famous for its people’s romantic (浪漫的) way of greeting. They touch their face and make a kissing sound. Brazil Come and take a bath! Indians in Brazil(巴西) love bathing very much. When you visit them, they will invite you to take a bath in a river with them. Thailand People in Thailand press their hands together and bow to greet each other. If you hold your hands higher or take a lower bow, you show more respect to others. New Zealand The custom of welcoming someone is called the “hongi”. People touch their noses together when they meet. They are sharing their breath with their guests. 26. How many ways of greeting are there in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 27. Which country greets people by touching noses? A. France. B. Brazil. C. Thailand. D. New Zealand. 28. Which part of the newspaper is the passage taken from? A. Science. B. Culture. C. Travel. D. Business. B We usually think fish can’t talk. But there are a lot of sounds under the ocean(海洋). In fact, scientists believe that all sea animals - at least 250,000 kinds - can “speak”! “When we dive, we can hear animals all around us,” UK scientist Steve Simpson told the BBC. In the past years, scientists used sound recorders (录音机) to hear fish’s “voices”. There are now thousands of recorders in the ocean. They help scientists match sounds with sea life. A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the ocean. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of sounds made by fish. When some coral reefs died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas, scientists heard the animals come back. By listening to the ocean, scientists start to understand sea animals’ languages. Strong clownfish make short “chirp” sounds when going after small clownfish. They do this to show they are more powerful. A damselfish can make a pop sound to scare (惊吓) other fish by quickly opening and closing its mouth. Mother dolphins can use a special voice to talk to their babies. They are saying “I’m here” to comfort the baby dolphins. 29. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to(指的是)? A. Coral reefs. B. Animals’ voices. C. Sound recorders. D. Sea life. 30. According to the passage, how can scientists tell if a coral reef is healthy? A. By noticing the color of the coral reef. B. By listening to the sounds in the coral reef. C. By watching the size of the coral reef. D. By counting the number of fish in the coral reef. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The sounds of animals in the ocean. B. The effect of healthy sea life. C. The health of living things in the sea. D. The ways of protecting sea life. C Traditional(传统的) Chinese Medicine(TCM) is like a treasure in Chinese history. It is an important part of China. Chinese doctors have smart ways to find out what is wrong with patients, like “looking, listening, asking, and feeling your pulse (脉搏)”. They also have special ways to solve(解决) health problems, like using herbs (草药) and acupuncture(针灸). The ideas of TCM emerged (形成) for the first time during the period from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty. The Shennong Ben Cao Jing was the beginning to understand how the herbs could help us. It tells the story of an emperor who tasted hundreds of herbs. Unluckily, he ate one that made him really sick. His findings are important in Chinese Medicine and that’s why we remember him as “Shennong” or the God of Chinese Medicine. This book records 365 plants, and a lot of them are used in medical treatment even until today. In the 1970s, people around the world started to regard Chinese acupuncture as a real way to help with health. In 2020, when COVID-19 was causing big trouble, TCM also did well in treatment during the hard time because it helps people without any side effects (副作用). More people everywhere are taking interest in Chinese Medicine. They’re using it and learning about it. With China getting stronger, TCM is expected to be a shining star in the world of health. It helps people understand Chinese medicine and learn why it is believed to be a treasure of our Chinese culture. 32. Chinese doctors have the following ways to check patients except ________. A. tasting B. looking C. listening D. asking 33. Why are the emperor’s findings important in Chinese Medicine? A. Because he tasted hundreds of herbs. B. Because he got sick from one of the herbs. C. Because they are useful even until today. D. Because they make us remember him. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Chinese acupuncture was widely used in the 1970s. B. Chinese Medicine is more effective than other treatments. C. Chinese Medicine helps people with a few side effects. D. Chinese Medicine treated patients well during COVID-19. 35. The purpose of the passage is to introduce ________. A. the beginning of TCM. B. the development of TCM. C. the ideas of TCM. D. the success of TCM.

To keep it alive, Hu formed a team in 2013. Now, about 30 people from his team can perform it on stage. Hu also posts videos on Douyin to attract (吸引) more attention.
