It stands for loyalty (忠诚), bravery, and so on. Three of the most well-known horses are Chitu (赤兔), Dilu (的卢) and Wuzhui (乌骓), each leaving an impressive mark in history. Chitu is also called “Red Hare” because it has a red coat and runs very fast like a hare. Legend says Chitu can run “a thousand li” (about 400 km) in one day! What super speed! At first, Chitu’s owner was Lu Bu, a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu, another heroic general, was its second owner. After Guan Yu was killed, it refused to eat and died for him. Dilu is special with a white spot on its forehead. In legends, it saved its owner, Liu Bei, by running fast and jumping across a wide river during a dangerous escape. It bravely faced deadly danger and never left its master alone in life-or-death situations. Dilu’s story later became an allusion (典故) and was widely used by writers and poets, showing people’s deep praise for the horse’s fearless devotion to its owner. Wuzhui was a strong and brave horse of Xiang Yu, the “Hegemon-King of Western Chu.” Its body was pure black and smooth like a bolt of silk, while its four hooves were as white as snow. After its owner died at the Wu River, this loyal horse jumped into the same river, following its owner even in death. 16. Who was the first owner of Chitu? A. Liu Bei B. Guan Yu C. Lu Bu D. Xiang Yu 17. Why is Dilu’s story widely used by writers and poets? A. Because it ran faster than any horse. B. Because it had a beautiful white spot. C. Because its owner later became a famous king. D. Because it bravely saved its owner from danger. 18. What common quality do the three horses share in their stories? A. Loyalty to owners. B. Calm in trouble. C. Super running speed. D. Endless energy. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统文化中三匹著名的马——赤兔、的卢和乌骓及其相关典故。 【16题详解】 表格第一行第二段“At first, Chitu’s owner was Lu Bu, a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period.”明确指出赤兔的第一任主人是吕布。 【17题详解】 表格第二行“It bravely faced deadly danger and never left its master alone in life-or-death situations. Dilu’s story later became an allusion (典故) and was widely used by writers and poets, showing people’s deep praise for the horse’s fearless devotion to its owner.”可推断出的卢的故事被广泛引用，是因为它无畏地救主人于危难。 【18题详解】 原文第一段提到马象征忠诚，随后三匹马的故事都体现了这一点：赤兔在关羽死后绝食殉主，的卢在危难中救刘备，乌骓在项羽死后跳江追随。因此三匹马共同体现的品质是对主人的忠诚。 B Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA心脏骤停) is a serious condition where the heart suddenly stops beating effectively. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and knowing what to do can save a life. What causes SCA? In most cases, it happens due to arrhythmia (心律失常). The heart’s electrical system goes out of control. Instead of beating regularly, the heart muscles start to shake rapidly and irregularly. As a result, the heart can’t send blood to the brain and other body parts. If the heart stops beating, the brain may suffer irreversible damage (不可逆的损伤) in just 4 to 6 minutes. That’s why the first 4 minutes are called the “golden minutes” for saving lives. What are the warning signs? SCA often comes without warning, but people may feel: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness (头晕), unusual tiredness, or pain in the stomach, teeth, or left shoulder. If these signs appear after physical activity, take them seriously. What should you do if someone falls down? Follow these steps: 1. Call for help. Shout to nearby people and ask someone to call 120. 2. Start chest compressions (胸部按压). Place hands on the center of the chest. Push hard and fast, 5 to 6 centimeters deep, 100 to 120 times per minute. Do not stop until help arrives. 3. Use an AED (自动体外除颤仪) if possible. It is safe and will guide you. 4. Keep going. Continue chest compressions until medical staff take over the situation. SCA is serious but preventable, especially for teenagers, Follow three key points: exercise regularly, eat healthily, and have regular check-ups. Take good care of your body, stay active, and live a healthy life to keep SCA far away. However, learning how to prevent sudden cardiac death and use an AED is still of great importance. With popular science spreading widely and more people mastering first-aid skills, we can give more hope to lives. Let us hold love in our hearts and guard every precious life together. 19. Why are the first 4 minutes called the “golden minutes”? A. Because the heart will start beating again in four minutes. B. Because people can call 120 most quickly during the time. C. Because the brain may be in great danger if treatment is late. D. Because doctors need at least four minutes to help the patient. 20. Which of the following is the correct order to save a person who has SCA? A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ②④①③ D. ②④③① 21. What does the underlined sentence “we can give more hope to lives” mean? A. We can help people realize their dreams easily. B. We can live a happy and comfortable life forever. C. We can make all dangerous diseases disappear completely. D. We can bring more chances of survival to people in danger. 22. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To explain how the human heart works. B. To teach readers how to do heart operations. C. To remind readers of SCA dangers and spread first-aid skills. D. To introduce the latest medical technology for treating heart diseases. 【答案】19. C 20. C 21. D 22. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了心脏骤停的相关知识、急救步骤和预防方法，提醒人们重视心脏骤停的风险。 【19题详解】 第二段提到“If the heart stops beating, the brain may suffer irreversible damage in just 4 to 6 minutes. That’s why the first 4 minutes are called the ‘golden minutes’ for saving lives.”说明如果心脏停止跳动，大脑可能在4到6分钟内遭受不可逆的损伤，因此前4分钟被称为“黄金时间”。 【20题详解】 第四段Follow these steps提到“1. Call for help. Shout to nearby people and ask someone to call 120. 2. Start chest compressions. 3. Use an AED if possible. 4. Keep going. Continue chest compressions until medical staff take over.”说明正确的顺序是：呼救并让人拨打120；开始胸部按压；如果可能，使用自动体外除颤仪；继续按压直到医护人员接手。对应四幅图：图②是呼救打电话（第一步）、图④是开始胸部按压（第二步）、图①是使用AED（第三步）、图③是医护人员接手（第四步），顺序为②④①③。 【21题详解】 第六段“With popular science spreading widely and more people mastering first-aid skills,…”：更多人掌握急救技能，就能给生命更多希望，结合文意，这句话指我们能给突发SCA遇险的人更多生存机会，D项选符合文意。 【22题详解】 全文介绍了心脏骤停的相关知识、急救步骤和预防方法，目的是提醒人们重视心脏骤停的风险，普及急救知识，对应C项. C When you’re taking an airplane, you’ll notice the soft clouds under the bright blue sky. Do you think the soft clouds are lighter than air? But don’t be fooled—those clouds are much heavier than you think. So how much does a cloud weigh? And how can we weigh a cloud? Clouds are mainly made of millions of tiny water droplets (小滴), so we can know the weight of a cloud by weighing the water in it. To do that, we need to know the size of the cloud and also the density (密度) of the droplets. Margaret LeMone, a scientist from the US, has weighed the water in a grey cumulus cloud (积云) in her experiment(实验). First, she has found out that an average cumulus cloud is about 109m3 in size, considering it as a cube (立方体). Besides, the weight of water within 1m3 of a cumulus cloud is about 0.5 gram. In other words, the density of the droplets is around 0.5g/m3. So the cloud weighs about 500 tons, nearly the weight of 100 elephants! Of course, different types of clouds have different weights. For example, cirrus clouds (卷云) are much lighter, because they have far less water. A dark thunderstorm cloud is a lot heavier, about two million tons of water. This cloud also contains much more water, which is why they can produce so much rain. But if clouds are so heavy, why do they float? In fact, the wind helps a lot. These droplets are small enough to stay on even the lightest wind. If they get together, they can come down as rain and snow. Each raindrop is only 2mm across. So don’t worry! Those small raindrops spread out the weight enough and 500 tons of water doesn’t fall down on your head all at once. So, the next time you see a little cloud passing overhead, just remember: 100 elephants. 23. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By telling personal stories. B. By listing interesting facts. C. By asking different questions. D. By giving several examples. 24. What did Margaret LeMone do to weigh a cloud? A. She compared the cloud to a ball. B. She researched the size of the cloud. C. She weighed the air inside the cloud. D. She chose a cirrus cloud as an example. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Beautiful Sky with Colourful Clouds. B. Clouds as Heavy as Elephants High up. C. Clouds in the Shape of Animals in the Sky. D. Interesting Experiments of Weighing Clouds. 26. In which part of Teenagers magazine can we probably read this passage? A. Travel. B. Nature. C. Space. D. Entertainment. 【答案】23. C 24. B 25. B 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过提问引入主题，介绍了云的重量及其计算方法，并解释了云为何能漂浮在空中，是一篇关于自然现象的科普说明文。 【23题详解】 文章开头连续使用问句“Do you think…?”、“So how much…?”、“And how can…?”来引发读者思考并引入话题。 【24题详解】 根据第三段“Margaret LeMone, a scientist from the US, has weighed the water in a grey cumulus cloud (积云) in her experiment(实验).”及后文可知，Margaret LeMone首先测量了积云的体积（约为109立方米），并测量了每立方米中水滴的重量（约0.5克），从而计算出云的重量。因此她所做的研究是调查云的大小（体积）。 【25题详解】 文章主要围绕云的重量展开，通过计算得出积云重约500吨，相当于100头大象，因此最佳标题应体现“Clouds as Heavy as Elephants High up.”这一核心内容。 【26题详解】 本文介绍云的重量及自然现象，属于自然科普，最可能出现在杂志的“自然”板块。 D (White Fang was taken away from the wild after a hard fight. He was passed from one cruel owner to another, learning only fear and being hurt. Finally, he came to Scott and Matt’s small cabin. ) “It’s hopeless,” Scott said. He sat outside his cabin and watched White Fang, who was pulling his chain, snarling angrily. “He is a wolf. We can’t tame (驯服) him,” Scott added. “Someone has tamed him,” replied Matt. “Look at those marks on his chest.” He advised Scott to be patient and give White Fang a chance and set him free. Matt picked up a club (棍棒) and went over to White Fang. He opened the chain round White Fang’s neck. The dog couldn’t believe he was free. “Poor thing,” said Scott. “He needs human kindness.” Scott went into the cabin and returned with some meat. He threw it to White Fang. However, another dog ran to the meat and tried to take it, White Fang attacked the dog and knocked it down. Matt ran in and started to kick White Fang. Again White Fang attacked Matt and bit his leg. “I told you it was hopeless,” said Scott, taking out his gun. He was angry and wanted to shoot at the wild dog. “Look, Scott,” Matt said, “that dog had a terrible time before. You can’t expect him to be normal again at once. Give him some time.” White Fang watched Scott come over to him, and snarled. He was waiting for his punishment. But Scott sat down a few meters away and talked to White Fang in a calm, gentle way. He threw meat to the dog many times. Little by little, White Fang became less doubtful. Scott slowly walked closer and touched White Fang’s head. Instead of hitting him, Scott patted and touched him gently. White Fang felt both fear and warmth. It was the start of a new life for him. —— Adapted from White Fang 27. Why did Matt think White Fang could be tamed? A. Because White Fang was still young. B. Because White Fang listened to him. C. Because White Fang liked eating meat. D. Because there were taming marks on his chest. 28. How did White Fang’s feelings change in the passage? A. Angry → Afraid → Doubtful → Warm B. Angry → Doubtful → Less doubtful → Loving C. Doubtful→ Calm → Afraid → Warm D. Doubtful→ Angry → Calm → Less doubtful 29. What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A. White Fang once had a terrible time. B. White Fang would hurt others again. C. Scott didn’t follow Matt’s advice at all. D. White Fang would live happily with Scott. 30. What does the story want to tell us? A. Wild animals can never be tamed by humans. B. Dogs are more friendly to humans than wolves. C. Punishment is the only way to control wild animals. D. Patience and kindness might warm the wild and hurt heart. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《白牙》，讲述了白牙在被多次伤害后变得凶猛，但在斯科特的耐心和善意下，逐渐放下戒备的故事。 【27题详解】 文中Matt说：“Someone has tamed him. Look at those marks on his chest.”，说明他认为白牙可以被驯服是因为胸前的痕迹。 【28题详解】 白牙起初“snarling angrily”（愤怒）；斯科特走近时“snarled. He was waiting for his punishment.”说明它是Doubtful（不信任、怀疑的状态），与下文的“less doubtful”形成对比；斯科特温和说话并扔肉后“became less doubtful”（不那么怀疑），最终“felt both fear and warmth. It was the start of a new life for him”（温暖有爱）。因此情感变化为“Angry→Doubtful→Less doubtful→Loving”。 【29题详解】 从故事结尾斯科特耐心温和地对待白牙，白牙感受到温暖，“It was the start of a new life for him”可以推断白牙将和斯科特幸福地生活在一起。 【30题详解】 斯科特通过耐心和善意让白牙逐渐放下戒备，说明耐心和善意可以温暖受伤的心。 第二节 （一）根据以下访谈，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，每个选项限用一次。 （Lucy, the host of School TV Station, is interviewing Amy about her latest hobby.） Lucy: Today we’re talking to Amy, a middle school student who loves making Perler bead craft (拼豆手工).

I was ten years old and had never flown one before. I held the string tightly while Grandpa held the kite high. “Run against the wind!” he shouted. I ran as fast as my legs could go, but the kite just dragged on the grass. I tried again and again. Each time, it wobbled and fell. My arms ached and my eyes felt hot with sadness. “It’s too hard! I give up!” I cried, letting the string fall. Grandpa walked over and picked up the kite. He knelt beside me and said softly, “You’re fighting the wind. A kite rises not because the wind is easy, but because it pushes against it. Without the wind, the kite is just a piece of paper. Let the wind be your helper, not your enemy.” He showed me how to let the string out little by little, using the wind’s power. I tried once more. This time, I didn’t pull hard. I let the wind catch the kite, and slowly, it climbed higher and higher into the blue sky. I laughed as the kite danced above me. That day, I learned something important. Challenges in life are like the wind. When things push against us, we can either give up or rise higher. Grandpa didn’t just teach me how to fly a kite; he taught me how to face a difficulty. From then on, whenever I feel stuck, I remember that kite—and I let the wind lift me up. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 41. When did the story happen? ________________________________________________ 42. How did the boy feel after several failed tries? ________________________________________________ 43. Why can a kite rise according to the story? ________________________________________________ 44. What did the boy finally do with the kite? ________________________________________________ 45. What can we learn from this story? ________________________________________________ 【答案】41. On a windy Saturday afternoon. 42. Sad./Pain with sadness./Sad with pain. 43. Because of the wind./Because of the wind’s power./Because it pushes against the wind. 44. He let the wind catch it. 45.

It stands for loyalty (忠诚), bravery, and so on. Three of the most well-known horses are Chitu (赤兔), Dilu (的卢) and Wuzhui (乌骓), each leaving an impressive mark in history. Chitu is also called “Red Hare” because it has a red coat and runs very fast like a hare. Legend says Chitu can run “a thousand li” (about 400 km) in one day! What super speed! At first, Chitu’s owner was Lu Bu, a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu, another heroic general, was its second owner. After Guan Yu was killed, it refused to eat and died for him. Dilu is special with a white spot on its forehead. In legends, it saved its owner, Liu Bei, by running fast and jumping across a wide river during a dangerous escape. It bravely faced deadly danger and never left its master alone in life-or-death situations. Dilu’s story later became an allusion (典故) and was widely used by writers and poets, showing people’s deep praise for the horse’s fearless devotion to its owner. Wuzhui was a strong and brave horse of Xiang Yu, the “Hegemon-King of Western Chu.” Its body was pure black and smooth like a bolt of silk, while its four hooves were as white as snow. After its owner died at the Wu River, this loyal horse jumped into the same river, following its owner even in death. 16. Who was the first owner of Chitu? A. Liu Bei B. Guan Yu C. Lu Bu D. Xiang Yu 17. Why is Dilu’s story widely used by writers and poets? A. Because it ran faster than any horse. B. Because it had a beautiful white spot. C. Because its owner later became a famous king. D. Because it bravely saved its owner from danger. 18. What common quality do the three horses share in their stories? A. Loyalty to owners. B. Calm in trouble. C. Super running speed. D. Endless energy. B Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA心脏骤停) is a serious condition where the heart suddenly stops beating effectively. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and knowing what to do can save a life. What causes SCA? In most cases, it happens due to arrhythmia (心律失常). The heart’s electrical system goes out of control. Instead of beating regularly, the heart muscles start to shake rapidly and irregularly. As a result, the heart can’t send blood to the brain and other body parts. If the heart stops beating, the brain may suffer irreversible damage (不可逆的损伤) in just 4 to 6 minutes. That’s why the first 4 minutes are called the “golden minutes” for saving lives. What are the warning signs? SCA often comes without warning, but people may feel: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness (头晕), unusual tiredness, or pain in the stomach, teeth, or left shoulder. If these signs appear after physical activity, take them seriously. What should you do if someone falls down? Follow these steps: 1. Call for help. Shout to nearby people and ask someone to call 120. 2. Start chest compressions (胸部按压). Place hands on the center of the chest. Push hard and fast, 5 to 6 centimeters deep, 100 to 120 times per minute. Do not stop until help arrives. 3. Use an AED (自动体外除颤仪) if possible. It is safe and will guide you. 4. Keep going. Continue chest compressions until medical staff take over the situation. SCA is serious but preventable, especially for teenagers, Follow three key points: exercise regularly, eat healthily, and have regular check-ups. Take good care of your body, stay active, and live a healthy life to keep SCA far away. However, learning how to prevent sudden cardiac death and use an AED is still of great importance. With popular science spreading widely and more people mastering first-aid skills, we can give more hope to lives. Let us hold love in our hearts and guard every precious life together. 19. Why are the first 4 minutes called the “golden minutes”? A. Because the heart will start beating again in four minutes. B. Because people can call 120 most quickly during the time. C. Because the brain may be in great danger if treatment is late. D. Because doctors need at least four minutes to help the patient. 20. Which of the following is the correct order to save a person who has SCA? A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ②④①③ D. ②④③① 21. What does the underlined sentence “we can give more hope to lives” mean? A. We can help people realize their dreams easily. B. We can live a happy and comfortable life forever. C. We can make all dangerous diseases disappear completely. D. We can bring more chances of survival to people in danger. 22. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To explain how the human heart works. B. To teach readers how to do heart operations. C. To remind readers of SCA dangers and spread first-aid skills. D. To introduce the latest medical technology for treating heart diseases. C When you’re taking an airplane, you’ll notice the soft clouds under the bright blue sky. Do you think the soft clouds are lighter than air? But don’t be fooled—those clouds are much heavier than you think. So how much does a cloud weigh? And how can we weigh a cloud? Clouds are mainly made of millions of tiny water droplets (小滴), so we can know the weight of a cloud by weighing the water in it. To do that, we need to know the size of the cloud and also the density (密度) of the droplets. Margaret LeMone, a scientist from the US, has weighed the water in a grey cumulus cloud (积云) in her experiment(实验). First, she has found out that an average cumulus cloud is about 109m3 in size, considering it as a cube (立方体). Besides, the weight of water within 1m3 of a cumulus cloud is about 0.5 gram. In other words, the density of the droplets is around 0.5g/m3. So the cloud weighs about 500 tons, nearly the weight of 100 elephants! Of course, different types of clouds have different weights. For example, cirrus clouds (卷云) are much lighter, because they have far less water. A dark thunderstorm cloud is a lot heavier, about two million tons of water. This cloud also contains much more water, which is why they can produce so much rain. But if clouds are so heavy, why do they float? In fact, the wind helps a lot. These droplets are small enough to stay on even the lightest wind. If they get together, they can come down as rain and snow. Each raindrop is only 2mm across. So don’t worry! Those small raindrops spread out the weight enough and 500 tons of water doesn’t fall down on your head all at once. So, the next time you see a little cloud passing overhead, just remember: 100 elephants. 23. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By telling personal stories. B. By listing interesting facts. C. By asking different questions. D. By giving several examples. 24. What did Margaret LeMone do to weigh a cloud? A. She compared the cloud to a ball. B. She researched the size of the cloud. C. She weighed the air inside the cloud. D. She chose a cirrus cloud as an example. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Beautiful Sky with Colourful Clouds. B. Clouds as Heavy as Elephants High up. C. Clouds in the Shape of Animals in the Sky. D. Interesting Experiments of Weighing Clouds. 26. In which part of Teenagers magazine can we probably read this passage? A. Travel. B. Nature. C. Space. D. Entertainment. D (White Fang was taken away from the wild after a hard fight. He was passed from one cruel owner to another, learning only fear and being hurt. Finally, he came to Scott and Matt’s small cabin. ) “It’s hopeless,” Scott said. He sat outside his cabin and watched White Fang, who was pulling his chain, snarling angrily. “He is a wolf. We can’t tame (驯服) him,” Scott added. “Someone has tamed him,” replied Matt. “Look at those marks on his chest.” He advised Scott to be patient and give White Fang a chance and set him free. Matt picked up a club (棍棒) and went over to White Fang. He opened the chain round White Fang’s neck.

He was angry and wanted to shoot at the wild dog. “Look, Scott,” Matt said, “that dog had a terrible time before. You can’t expect him to be normal again at once.

He threw meat to the dog many times. Little by little, White Fang became less doubtful. Scott slowly walked closer and touched White Fang’s head.

I was ten years old and had never flown one before. I held the string tightly while Grandpa held the kite high. “Run against the wind!” he shouted. I ran as fast as my legs could go, but the kite just dragged on the grass. I tried again and again. Each time, it wobbled and fell. My arms ached and my eyes felt hot with sadness. “It’s too hard! I give up!” I cried, letting the string fall. Grandpa walked over and picked up the kite. He knelt beside me and said softly, “You’re fighting the wind. A kite rises not because the wind is easy, but because it pushes against it. Without the wind, the kite is just a piece of paper. Let the wind be your helper, not your enemy.” He showed me how to let the string out little by little, using the wind’s power. I tried once more. This time, I didn’t pull hard. I let the wind catch the kite, and slowly, it climbed higher and higher into the blue sky. I laughed as the kite danced above me. That day, I learned something important. Challenges in life are like the wind. When things push against us, we can either give up or rise higher. Grandpa didn’t just teach me how to fly a kite; he taught me how to face a difficulty. From then on, whenever I feel stuck, I remember that kite—and I let the wind lift me up. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 41. When did the story happen? ________________________________________________ 42.
