Poltu couldn’t wait to 14 the butterfly to the whole class, so he dressed 15 and left for school. In the classroom, he gently placed the bottle by the window.

During the evening, the little boy kept 19 the butterfly every now and then. At around bedtime, Poltu checked again. But this time the butterfly wasn’t 20 at all!

三、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面三篇材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert spreads across 30 per cent of the continent (大陆). This vast desert, also known as “________” in Arabic, is about 9 million square kilometers in size. It is also at least 4.6 million years old. This means that it is one of the oldest places in the world.
All deserts are dry, and the Sahara is both dry and hot. It is the largest hot desert in the world. We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert. Another example, the Taklimakan Desert, is hot in summer, cold in winter and there is a huge temperature difference between day and night.
Most of the Sahara is rocky ground. But there are also places with grass, lakes, mountains, and even sand seas. A sand sea is just what it sounds like—it looks like a sea of sand! When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
Life in the Sahara is difficult. About two million people live in the Sahara. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
Not many animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must adapt (适应) to survive. Camels, for example, go for a long time without drinking water. When they do find water, they can drink more than 100 litres of it in 13 minutes! Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
Today, the world’s largest hot desert is getting even bigger. It is now about 10 per cent larger than what it was about a century (世纪) ago. But why is it growing? Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take effective measures, the desert will keep growing!
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
26.Which phrase below can we fill in the blank to explain the underlined words “vast”?

Deserts are usually known for being very hot, dry, and hard to live in. However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there.
Badain Jaran Desert is in Inner Mongolia. It’s China’s second-largest moving desert. Animals, especially camels (骆驼), live peacefully with humans in this place. Known as the “ships of the desert,” camels are helpers to local people for years. On July 26, 2024, Badain Jaran Desert was finally added to the World Heritage (遗产) List.
Zhang Jun worked in Bayin Bo Village, Inner Mongolia. In 1956, Zhang’s grandfather came to the village and lived there. At that time, he usually went out and looked after the animals on foot. When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel. But now, people can also use off-road vehicles (越野车) to travel across the desert.
Saihan, a man from Badain Jaran Village, is an expert farmer. When he was little, going across the desert on a camel took about 15 days. “Nowadays, travel condition is better,” he said. Better travel condition has allowed more tourists to visit the desert. During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
The local government is trying to get tourists to come while also protecting the environment. This plan has worked well, and tourists are paying more and more attention to protecting the environment. All waste is carefully collected and dealt with in the town. There is a strong promise to take care of the environment in the desert. It’s a simple but powerful idea: welcome visitors, but take care of the land that welcomes them.
36.What makes the Badain Jaran Desert different from most other deserts?
A.It is the hottest desert in China.
B.There are no animals living in it.
C.People and nature have a close relationship there.
D.It was added to the World Heritage List long ago.
37.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell about the Badain Jaran Desert?
A.Its area. B.The helpers. C.Some facts. D.Friendly tourists.
38.What does the underlined word “chief” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Key. B.Wrong. C.Terrible. D.Fair.
39.Which picture best describes the desert’s busy tourist season?
A. B. C. D.
40.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Animals and Humans in Badain Jaran Desert
B.The Traffic in Badain Jaran Desert
C.Badain Jaran Desert—A Different Desert in China
D.To be a Guide in Badain Jaran Desert

Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves is one of China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The caves are full of 41 wall paintings and sculptures that have survived for over a thousand years. Unfortunately, the site has been damaged by sand, weather and human activity.
Fan Jinshi began working as an archaeologist in Dunhuang after she 42 from Peking University. One day, she discovered that some caves had changed completely and some old artworks were gone. She made up her 43 immediately: she had to save these cultural treasures no matter how difficult it would be.
Fan and her colleagues did everything they could to slow down the damage. However, they soon realized that the caves simply wouldn’t last forever in such a harsh natural environment. Thanks 44 her determination, Fan came up with a new idea — making digital copies of all the paintings. This was the start of the Digital Dunhuang project.
Fan has dedicated her life to 45 this important part of China’s cultural heritage. “The longer I’ve stayed here, the deeper my love has grown for Dunhuang,” she said. That is why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”.

不定冠词a用于辅音音素开头的单词前,an用于元音音素开头的单词前,均表泛指。第一空后unusual是以元音音素开头的单词,故用an;第二空后university是以辅音音素开头的单词,故用a。

A.for free B.for certain C.on purpose D.in time
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——非常抱歉打碎了你的杯子。我不是故意这么做的。——没关系。我还有一个。
for free免费;for certain肯定地;on purpose故意地;in time及时。根据对话情境,说话人在道歉并解释自己不是“故意”打碎杯子,故填on purpose。
3.The path ________ the tall trees in the forest leads to a beautiful small lake.
A.between B.among C.during D.around
【答案】B
【详解】句意:森林中高大树木间的这条小路通向一个美丽的小湖。
between在……之间(两者);among在……中间(三者或以上);during在……期间;around在……周围。根据“tall trees”可知树有很多棵,表示在三者或三者以上之间,应填among。

Since 11 o’clock.自从11点;Not until my father returned from work.直到我爸爸下班回来才睡;Until I finished my homework.直到我写完作业;Since my mother came back.自从我妈妈回来。since通常与完成时连用,表示“自从……”,而本题问句是一般过去时,排除A、D;go to bed是短暂性动词,肯定句中不能与until连用表示动作持续到某时刻,排除C;not...until...结构表示“直到……才……”,可与短暂性动词连用,符合语境。
5.A hard-working man ________ become a successful man, but a successful man ________ be a hard-working man.
A.can’t; can B.may not; can C.can’t; must D.may not; must
【答案】D

【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你祖母多大年纪了?——她八十五岁了。

—It tells us ________.
A.why do we have problems B.that we should share our problems
C.who we can ask for help D.how we can avoid problems
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——谚语“烦恼与人分,负担减一半”告诉我们什么?——它告诉我们应该分享我们的问题。
根据句子结构可知,本题考查宾语从句。“why do we have problems”是疑问句语序,而宾语从句应该用陈述句语序,所以A错误;谚语“A problem shared is a problem halved”的意思是分享问题能使问题得到缓解,也就是建议我们分享问题“that we should share our problems”,选项B符合语义;“who we can ask for help”谚语并没有提及向谁求助,选项C不符合;谚语强调的是分享问题而非避免问题,选项D“how we can avoid problems”不符合。
9.As the saying goes, “________” Reading is a good way to open our eyes.
A.East or west, Guilin’s landscape is the best.
B.Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.
C.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D.He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.

【详解】句意:俗话说:“读万卷书,行万里路。”阅读是开阔我们眼界的好方法。
East or west, Guilin’s landscape is the best.桂林风景甲天下。Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.读万卷书,行万里路。A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.千里之行始于足下。He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.不到长城非好汉。根据“Reading is a good way to open our eyes.”可知,此处“Read ten thousand books; travel ten thousand miles.”符合语境。
10.—How do you find your class trip to Xihui Garden?
—Fantastic! I think it’s ________ I have ever had.
A.an amazing experience B.a more boring experience
C.the most amazing experience D.the most boring experience
【答案】C
【详解】句意:—你觉得你们班去西汇花园的旅行怎么样?—太棒了!我觉得这是我有过的最令人惊叹的一次经历。
an amazing experience一次令人惊叹的经历;a more boring experience一次更无聊的经历;the most amazing experience最令人惊叹的一次经历;the most boring experience最无聊的一次经历。根据“Fantastic!”可知,说话人对这次旅行评价很高,排除B、D;“I have ever had”表示范围,需要使用形容词最高级,因此选the most amazing experience。

【导语】短文讲述了男孩Poltu捕捉蝴蝶、带到学校展示,最后因蝴蝶失去活力而将其放归自然的故事。
【详解】11.句意:Poltu一大早就醒了,一起床就径直跑向他桌子上的瓶子。
根据下文“Inside, there was a colorful butterfly that he had caught for his biology project.”可知,瓶子内部装着他为生物课项目捕捉的蝴蝶,因此此处应填表示“瓶子”的词。应选用bottle。box侧重盒子,无法像带孔的瓶子一样为蝴蝶提供合适的生存环境,不符合语境。
12.句意:里面有一只色彩斑斓的蝴蝶,是他为生物课项目捕捉的。
根据下文“the biology teacher praised Poltu for bringing it”可知,这是生物课的项目,因此此处应填表示“生物”的词。应选用biology。art为美术,与捕捉蝴蝶的科学项目场景不符。
13.句意:为了让这只小生物保持活力,Poltu在瓶盖上打了几个孔来让空气流通。
根据“to let air in”可知,此处需要能让空气进入的结构,因此应填表示“孔”的词。应选用holes。notes为笔记,无法实现让空气流通的功能,不符合逻辑。
14.句意:Poltu迫不及待地要向全班展示这只蝴蝶,所以他仔细地打扮好自己去上学。
根据“to the whole class”可知,他想把蝴蝶给全班同学看,因此应填表示“展示”的词。应选用show。describe为描述,不符合他想让大家亲眼看到蝴蝶的语境。
15.句意:Poltu迫不及待地要向全班展示这只蝴蝶,所以他仔细地打扮好自己去上学。
根据“couldn’t wait to show the butterfly to the whole class”体现的急切心情,此处应表示“匆忙地”,应选用hurriedly。carefully侧重“仔细地”,与他急于展示的急切状态不符。
16.句意:每个人都非常感兴趣,他们围在一起,兴奋地看了很久、聊了很久。
根据“they crowded around, watching and talking excitedly about it for a long time”可知,同学们对蝴蝶充满兴趣,因此应填表示“感兴趣的”的词。应选用interested。satisfied为满意的,无法体现同学们围拢围观的热情状态。
17.句意:那是他这几周以来最开心的一节课。
根据前文同学们的热烈反应和后文生物老师的表扬可知,这节课对他来说是最开心的,因此应填表示“最开心的”的词。应选用happiest。quietest为最安静的,与课堂热闹的场景不符。
18.句意:但在回家的路上,Poltu开始担心起来。
根据下文“The butterfly didn’t seem as lively as before.”可知,蝴蝶看起来不如之前有活力,因此他开始担心,应填表示“担心”的词。应选用worry。relax为放松,与蝴蝶状态变差的语境矛盾。
19.句意:整个晚上,小男孩时不时地检查这只蝴蝶。
根据“every now and then”和“Poltu checked again”可知,他一直在查看蝴蝶的状态,因此应填表示“检查”的词。应选用checking。teaching为教,与他照看蝴蝶的行为无关。
20.句意:但这次蝴蝶根本不动!
根据后文“the ‘sleeping beauty’, no response”可知,蝴蝶没有任何动静,因此应填表示 “移动” 的词。应选用moving。sleeping为睡觉,与后文“no response”的严重状态不符。
21.句意:Poltu耐心地摇晃瓶子,试图叫醒这位“睡美人”。根据“the ‘sleeping beauty’, no response”可知,他想让蝴蝶恢复活力,因此应填表示“叫醒”的词。应选用wake up。dress up为打扮,与他想让蝴蝶动起来的目的无关。
22.句意:什么都没发生。他又试了一次,还是没有反应。Poltu几乎要哭了。
根据“Nothing happened. He tried again. Still, no response.”可知,蝴蝶一直没有动静,他很伤心,因此应填表示“哭”的词。应选用crying。jumping为跳,无法体现他难过的情绪。
23.句意:幸运的是,它起作用了。蝴蝶开始慢慢地扇动翅膀。
根据“The butterfly began to wave its wings slowly.”可知,他的尝试成功了,因此应填表示“幸运地”的词。应选用Luckily。Sadly为悲伤地,与蝴蝶恢复活力的积极语境矛盾。
24.句意:Poltu看到它离开,感到有点难过,但他也很开心。
根据前文“the butterfly flew up, out of the bottle, and away into the sky”可知,蝴蝶飞走了,因此应填指代蝴蝶的词。应选用it。her为她,蝴蝶是中性事物,用it指代更合适。
25.句意:他知道自己做了正确的事——把他的小朋友送回大自然。
根据“sending his little friend back to nature”可知,他认为放蝴蝶回归自然是正确的决定,因此应填表示“正确的”的词。应选用right。wrong为错误的,与他释然又开心的心情不符。
三、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面三篇材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert spreads across 30 per cent of the continent (大陆). This vast desert, also known as “________” in Arabic, is about 9 million square kilometers in size. It is also at least 4.6 million years old. This means that it is one of the oldest places in the world.
All deserts are dry, and the Sahara is both dry and hot. It is the largest hot desert in the world. We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert. Another example, the Taklimakan Desert, is hot in summer, cold in winter and there is a huge temperature difference between day and night.
Most of the Sahara is rocky ground. But there are also places with grass, lakes, mountains, and even sand seas. A sand sea is just what it sounds like—it looks like a sea of sand! When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
Life in the Sahara is difficult. About two million people live in the Sahara. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
Not many animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must adapt (适应) to survive. Camels, for example, go for a long time without drinking water. When they do find water, they can drink more than 100 litres of it in 13 minutes! Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
Today, the world’s largest hot desert is getting even bigger. It is now about 10 per cent larger than what it was about a century (世纪) ago. But why is it growing? Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take effective measures, the desert will keep growing!
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

27.文章第2段“We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert.”表明许多科学家认为南极洲是一种寒冷的沙漠,因此如果要参观又干又冷的沙漠,可选择南极洲。
28.文章第5段“Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.”表明耳廓狐之所以能在沙漠生存,是因为它们有大耳朵来帮助身体保持凉爽。

Deserts are usually known for being very hot, dry, and hard to live in. However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there.
Badain Jaran Desert is in Inner Mongolia. It’s China’s second-largest moving desert. Animals, especially camels (骆驼), live peacefully with humans in this place. Known as the “ships of the desert,” camels are helpers to local people for years. On July 26, 2024, Badain Jaran Desert was finally added to the World Heritage (遗产) List.
Zhang Jun worked in Bayin Bo Village, Inner Mongolia. In 1956, Zhang’s grandfather came to the village and lived there. At that time, he usually went out and looked after the animals on foot. When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel. But now, people can also use off-road vehicles (越野车) to travel across the desert.
Saihan, a man from Badain Jaran Village, is an expert farmer. When he was little, going across the desert on a camel took about 15 days. “Nowadays, travel condition is better,” he said. Better travel condition has allowed more tourists to visit the desert. During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
The local government is trying to get tourists to come while also protecting the environment. This plan has worked well, and tourists are paying more and more attention to protecting the environment. All waste is carefully collected and dealt with in the town. There is a strong promise to take care of the environment in the desert. It’s a simple but powerful idea: welcome visitors, but take care of the land that welcomes them.
36.What makes the Badain Jaran Desert different from most other deserts?
A.It is the hottest desert in China.
B.There are no animals living in it.
C.People and nature have a close relationship there.
D.It was added to the World Heritage List long ago.
37.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell about the Badain Jaran Desert?
A.Its area. B.The helpers. C.Some facts. D.Friendly tourists.
38.What does the underlined word “chief” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Key. B.Wrong. C.Terrible. D.Fair.
39.Which picture best describes the desert’s busy tourist season?
A. B. C. D.
40.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Animals and Humans in Badain Jaran Desert
B.The Traffic in Badain Jaran Desert
C.Badain Jaran Desert—A Different Desert in China
D.To be a Guide in Badain Jaran Desert
【答案】36.C 37.C 38.A 39.D 40.C
【导语】本文介绍了中国内蒙古的巴丹吉林沙漠,它不同于其他沙漠,当地人与自然关系紧密,同时讲述了沙漠的交通变化、旅游发展与环境保护措施。
【详解】36.根据原文第一段“However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there.”,可知巴丹吉林沙漠的特别之处在于当地人与自然关系密切。
37.第二段介绍了巴丹吉林沙漠的位置、地位、骆驼的作用,以及它被列入世界遗产名录的信息,这些都是关于沙漠的基本事实。
38.根据上下文,“riding camels was the chief way to travel”意为“骑骆驼是____的出行方式”,结合后文提到现在有越野车,可推断“chief”意为“主要的、关键的”,对应选项Key。
39.根据原文第四段“During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide”,可知旅游旺季时会有导游带领游客游览沙漠,选项D的图片最符合这一场景。
40.全文围绕巴丹吉林沙漠展开,介绍了它的独特性、人与自然的关系、发展变化等,因此最佳标题为“Badain Jaran Desert—A Different Desert in China”。

Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves is one of China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The caves are full of 41 wall paintings and sculptures that have survived for over a thousand years. Unfortunately, the site has been damaged by sand, weather and human activity.
Fan Jinshi began working as an archaeologist in Dunhuang after she 42 from Peking University. One day, she discovered that some caves had changed completely and some old artworks were gone. She made up her 43 immediately: she had to save these cultural treasures no matter how difficult it would be.
Fan and her colleagues did everything they could to slow down the damage. However, they soon realized that the caves simply wouldn’t last forever in such a harsh natural environment. Thanks 44 her determination, Fan came up with a new idea — making digital copies of all the paintings. This was the start of the Digital Dunhuang project.
Fan has dedicated her life to 45 this important part of China’s cultural heritage. “The longer I’ve stayed here, the deeper my love has grown for Dunhuang,” she said. That is why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”.
【答案】41.priceless 42.graduated 43.mind 44.to 45.preserving
【导语】本文主要讲述敦煌莫高窟有无价的壁画和雕塑;樊锦诗北大毕业后,决心毕生致力于保护这些文化遗产,使它们被视为人类艺术杰作。
【详解】41.句意:这些洞窟里满是无价的壁画和雕塑,它们已经保存了一千多年。敦煌的壁画和雕塑是珍贵的文化遗产,用priceless(无价的、极珍贵的);而valueless是“无价值的”,和句子表达的意思相反,所以排除。
42.句意:樊锦诗从北京大学毕业后,就开始在敦煌担任考古学家。graduate from是固定搭配,意为“从……毕业”;句子时态为一般过去时,所以用graduate的过去式graduated。
43.句意:她立刻下定决心:无论有多困难,她都必须拯救这些文化瑰宝。make up one's mind是固定短语,意为“下定决心”,这里需要填mind。
44.句意:多亏她的决心,樊锦诗想出了一个新办法——为所有壁画制作数字副本。thanks to是固定搭配,意为“多亏、由于”。
45.句意:樊锦诗毕生致力于保护中国文化遗产中这一重要的部分。dedicate one’s life to doing sth. 是固定用法,意为“毕生致力于做某事”,to是介词,后面要跟动名词形式。
