(an extract from a detective story)
...
“Sit down,” Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. “What are you here for?”
“I understand you had a party last night,” said Logan, a police officer.
“Yes,” said Henderson, “Oh! I hope the neighbours haven’t been complaining about the noise again.”
“Not that I know of,” said Logan. “But a young girl, Fran, who came to the party hasn’t been home yet.”
“Fran?” said Henderson. “Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember—about one o’clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning.”
Henderson looked quite relaxed.
“Did you know Clare?” asked Logan suddenly.
“Oh, God!” Henderson sat forward. “You don’t think...the same thing has happened to Fran?”
“We’re keeping an open mind,” said Logan, watching him carefully, “but we’re giving it our full attention.”
“Well, yes. I can understand that,” replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.
“So,” repeated Logan, “did you know Clare?”
“Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything to do with each other,” said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.
“Who else was at your party?” asked Logan.
“People from the university,” said Henderson, “Students, teachers.”
“David?” asked Grant, Logan’s partner.
“Yes, David was here for a time,” Henderson smiled again. “But he’s not really a party animal. He probably left early.”
“What do you mean, probably?” asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.
“Well, I don’t check when my guests arrive and leave,” said Henderson. “And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don’t come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find.” Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. “I sometimes end up in the bedroom.”
...

Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.
“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.
“No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself.
One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture.
The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.”
37. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties?
A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up.
C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others.
38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There was nothing but a picture in the lead box.
B. The servants advised Bassanio to choose the lead box.
C. Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia.
D. Bassanio was too excited to believe himself after reading the writing.
39. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture
C. The things in the boxes D. Tricks by appearances
(D)
As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor did the bird show entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.
And I hated circuses (马戏团), especially the animal acts with men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.
Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals have now almost disappeared, and zoos have definitely improved.
When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.
As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose (反对) zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?
Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.
Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal research programmes. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.
Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course, it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?
40. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how zoos have improved B. whether a zoo should be closed down
C. a new environmental organization D. the difference between zoos and circuses
41. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals ________.
A. had much shorter lives than those in the wild
B. were not treated well by their trainers
C. should have been placed in zoos
D. were not as intelligent as those in zoos
42. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?
A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.
B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges
C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.
D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.
43. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?
A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.
B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.
C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.
D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.

Bullying (霸凌) is a serious problem at school. It makes students feel lonely, unhappy and afraid. It makes them feel like there must be something wrong with them. Some kids are even unwilling to go to school. In other words, it’s very important not to let bullying harm your life!
Okay, so there you are, and someone is bullying you, what do you do “in the moment”?
• Ignore (忽视) the bully. Don’t even look at him. Walk right past him if you can.
• Don’t get sad or angry. Even if you’re feeling really hurt, don’t let it show. That’s the bully’s goal! You can talk about or write down your reaction later.
• Turn and walk away, or run if you have to. Remove yourself from the situation. Go to a place where an adult is present.
• If you’re being called names, imagine that you’re inside a huge fish tank filled with white fog. Nothing touches you. Practice by thinking of the worst things a bully can say to you, then letting the fog eat them up.
• If you’re being bullied again and again, there’s one “Most Important Thing” you should do: Talk to an adult. Start with your parents. If the bullying happens at school, make sure your parents discuss it with a school official, not with the parents of the bully. Make it clear to the adult that you are really worried about what’s going on. This is especially true if bullying is verbal (言语的) bullying.

A. unless B. since C. if D. though

考查连词辨析。unless除非;since自从/既然;if如果;though尽管。根据“It will be worse...we take further action to do something for it.”可知如果不采取行动就会更糟,空后是否定的条件,用unless引导条件状语从句。故选A。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——中国青少年有必要更多地了解中国。我想知道他们如何才能更好地了解中国。——看电影《厉害了,我的国》是一个不错的选择。
根据答语“To watch the film Amazing China is a good choice.”可知,回答的是了解中国的方式方法,因此问句询问的是“如何”更好地了解中国,应用how引导宾语从句。

【解析】
【详解】句意:宇航员们的演讲是一次如此激动人心的经历,以至于我对科学产生了兴趣。
such如此,修饰名词;so如此,修饰形容词或副词。本句中心词experience意为“经历”,是可数名词单数。such修饰单数可数名词的结构为“such a/an+形容词+名词”;so修饰单数可数名词的结构为“so+ 形容词+a/an+名词”。根据空后exciting experience可知,应填such an。
10. — Jim’s never been late for school. —________.
A. Neither have I B. Neither I have C. Neither am I D. Neither I am
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——吉姆上学从未迟到过。——我也没有。
前句“Jim’s never been late”中的“’s”是has的缩写,表示现在完成时,“never”说明句子是否定含义。回答要表达“我也从未迟到过”,需用“Neither+助动词+主语”的倒装结构,助动词have与前句时态一致,倒装语序正确。
11. I like the house very much, but its price goes ________ my ability to pay.
A. further B. beyond C. above D. with
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我很喜欢这所房子,但它的价格超出了我的支付能力。
考查介词词义辨析。further更进一步地;beyond超过;above在……上方;with和。由句中转折连词“but”可知,此句是说价格超出了支付能力,故选B。
12. They thought ________ important to look left and right when ________ the road.
A. it’s; cross B. it; to cross C. it; crossing D. it was; to cross
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们认为过马路时左右看很重要。
考查it作形式宾语和动词的现在分词。根据“They thought ... important to look left and right ”可知,空格处作形式宾语,真正的宾语是“to look left and right”,it可作形式宾语,故第一空填“it”;第二个空是when引导的时间状语从句,从句省略了主语和be动词,此空应填现在分词。故选C。
13. Trust is needed in the whole society. It needs parents to follow their own rules and set a good example ________ children can trust them.
A. in order to B. soon after C. as a result D. so that
【答案】D

考查连词。in order to后跟动词原形,为了,表示目的;soon after不久以后;as a result结果;so that为了,表示目的,连词。空后“children can trust them”孩子们可以信任他们,是空前“parents to follow their own rules and set a good example”父母遵守规则并树立好榜样的目的,且空后是一个完整的句子,用连词,所以是so that。故选D。
14. —Jack’s parents don’t have any spare time for him, do they?
—________. That’s why Jack often feels lonely at home.
A. Yes, they do B. Yes, they don’t
C. No, they don’t D. No, they do
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——杰克的父母没有空闲时间陪他,是吗?——是的,他们没有。这就是为什么杰克在家经常感到孤独的原因。
Yes, they do不,他们有时间;Yes, they don’t表达错误;No, they don’t是的,他们没有时间;No, they do表达错误。根据后句“That’s why Jack often feels lonely at home”可知,父母没有时间陪他,应是对前句“don’t have any spare time”的肯定,反意疑问句回答中,No + 否定结构表示“是的,他们没有”,应填No, they don’t。
15. Our chemistry teacher always tells us we ________ be too hard-working before the exams.

【解析】
【详解】句意:约翰叔叔说他会来参加我的生日聚会,但他没有出现。我想知道为什么。
主句“Uncle John said”是一般过去时,根据宾语从句时态呼应原则,从句需用过去的某种时态;结合语境,来参加聚会是过去说这话之后将要发生的动作,应用过去将来时,结构为“would+动词原形”。用would come。

(an extract from a detective story)
...
“Sit down,” Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. “What are you here for?”
“I understand you had a party last night,” said Logan, a police officer.
“Yes,” said Henderson, “Oh! I hope the neighbours haven’t been complaining about the noise again.”
“Not that I know of,” said Logan. “But a young girl, Fran, who came to the party hasn’t been home yet.”
“Fran?” said Henderson. “Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember—about one o’clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning.”
Henderson looked quite relaxed.
“Did you know Clare?” asked Logan suddenly.
“Oh, God!” Henderson sat forward. “You don’t think...the same thing has happened to Fran?”
“We’re keeping an open mind,” said Logan, watching him carefully, “but we’re giving it our full attention.”
“Well, yes. I can understand that,” replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.
“So,” repeated Logan, “did you know Clare?”
“Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything to do with each other,” said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.
“Who else was at your party?” asked Logan.
“People from the university,” said Henderson, “Students, teachers.”
“David?” asked Grant, Logan’s partner.
“Yes, David was here for a time,” Henderson smiled again. “But he’s not really a party animal. He probably left early.”
“What do you mean, probably?” asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.
“Well, I don’t check when my guests arrive and leave,” said Henderson. “And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don’t come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find.” Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. “I sometimes end up in the bedroom.”
...
34. How many characters are mentioned in the story?
A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight.
35. Why did Logan and Grant go to Henderson’s house?
A. Because the girl Fran who attended the party disappeared.
B. Because they went to the party held in Henderson’s house.
C. Because Henderson’s neighbours called them about the noise.
D. Because they wanted to know why Henderson held the party.
36. What can be inferred from Grant’s question “What do you mean, probably?”
A. Grant helped Logan to ask this question.
B. Grant didn’t understand Henderson’s words.
C. Grant himself wasn’t a party animal like David.
D. Grant wanted to know the exact time of David’s leaving.
【答案】34. B 35. A 36. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇侦探故事的节选。Henderson举办了一个聚会,但有一个名叫Fran的女孩参加聚会后一直没有回家,她失踪了。因此警察Logan和他的搭档Grant来向Henderson询问聚会的一些情况。
【34题详解】
通读全文可知,文中出现的人物名字有:主人Henderson,警察Logan,失踪女孩Fran,被提及的Clare,Logan的搭档Grant,以及宾客David,共计六人。
【35题详解】
根据第四段“But a young girl, Fran, who came to the party hasn’t been home yet.”可知,警察到Henderson家来调查的原因是参加聚会的女孩Fran失踪了。
【36题详解】
根据倒数第三段“Yes, David was here for a time...But he’s not really a party animal. He probably left early.”可知,Henderson说David可能早走了,是一个模糊的时间概念,作为警察,Grant追问“What do you mean, probably?”是因为在案件调查中需要确切的时间线来排除嫌疑或确认行踪,因此他想要知道David离开的具体时间。
(C)
Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.
“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.
“No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself.
One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture.
The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.”
37. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties?
A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up.
C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others.
38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There was nothing but a picture in the lead box.
B. The servants advised Bassanio to choose the lead box.
C. Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia.
D. Bassanio was too excited to believe himself after reading the writing.
39. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture
C. The things in the boxes D. Tricks by appearances
【答案】37. B 38. D 39. A
【解析】
【导语】本文改编自《威尼斯商人》中的一段,主要介绍了Bassanio选择盒子,他选择了铅盒子而不是金盒子和银盒子,事实证明他选对了,他可以和Portia结婚,并成为皇宫的统治者。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Many people who seem brave are really cowards.”和“He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.”可以推出“cowards”表示“懦夫”,指面对困难时会表现出恐惧和想放弃。故选B。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Bassanio could not believe it. ‘Is it really true?’ he asked. ‘Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.’”可知,Bassanio读完盒子里的字迹后激动得不敢相信自己。故选D。
【39题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.”以及下文的介绍可知,Bassanio选择正确的铅盒子,他可以和Portia结婚,并成为皇宫的统治者。选项A“Bassanio和铅盒”符合语境。故选A。
(D)
As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor did the bird show entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.
And I hated circuses (马戏团), especially the animal acts with men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.
Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals have now almost disappeared, and zoos have definitely improved.
When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.
As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose (反对) zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?
Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.
Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal research programmes. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.
Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course, it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?
40. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how zoos have improved B. whether a zoo should be closed down
C. a new environmental organization D. the difference between zoos and circuses
41. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals ________.
A. had much shorter lives than those in the wild
B. were not treated well by their trainers
C. should have been placed in zoos
D. were not as intelligent as those in zoos
42. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?
A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.
B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges
C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.
D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.
43. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?
A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.
B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.
C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.
D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.
【答案】40. A 41. B 42. B 43. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,以作者童年对动物园、马戏团的回忆开篇,通过个人经历引出话题动物园从过去到现在的发展与进步,探讨现代动物园的价值与争议,呼吁理性看待动物园的角色。
【40题详解】
文章首先回顾了作者小时候对动物园和马戏团的负面印象,接着指出随着公众态度和法律的变化,动物园得到了显著改善(“zoos have definitely improved”)。随后介绍了BIAZA组织对现代动物园标准的提升,最后描述了现代动物园动物舒适的生活条件。全文贯穿的主线是动物园条件的改善过程。
【41题详解】
根据第二段最后一句“I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.”(我知道马戏团动物做的每一个把戏都是不自然的,是通过严格训练甚至可能是残忍手段达成的。)可知,作者认为马戏团动物受到了虐待。
【42题详解】
根据第七段内容“…the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos… BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.”(……该协会制定标准,观察动物园的条件……BIAZA还组织世界各地动物园之间的动物交换。)可知,BIAZA的职责包括检查动物园条件(Checking zoo conditions)和安排动物交换(arranging animal exchanges)。

七、阅读填空 (本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
Bullying (霸凌) is a serious problem at school. It makes students feel lonely, unhappy and afraid. It makes them feel like there must be something wrong with them. Some kids are even unwilling to go to school. In other words, it’s very important not to let bullying harm your life!
Okay, so there you are, and someone is bullying you, what do you do “in the moment”?
• Ignore (忽视) the bully. Don’t even look at him. Walk right past him if you can.
• Don’t get sad or angry. Even if you’re feeling really hurt, don’t let it show. That’s the bully’s goal! You can talk about or write down your reaction later.
• Turn and walk away, or run if you have to. Remove yourself from the situation. Go to a place where an adult is present.
• If you’re being called names, imagine that you’re inside a huge fish tank filled with white fog. Nothing touches you. Practice by thinking of the worst things a bully can say to you, then letting the fog eat them up.
• If you’re being bullied again and again, there’s one “Most Important Thing” you should do: Talk to an adult. Start with your parents. If the bullying happens at school, make sure your parents discuss it with a school official, not with the parents of the bully. Make it clear to the adult that you are really worried about what’s going on. This is especially true if bullying is verbal (言语的) bullying.
