There are many different types of octopuses, but all are similar in one way: They are so good at hiding themselves.Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. How do they do this? An octopus can disguise itself in three ways. One is by using color. An octopus’s skin has something special called chromatophores (色素细胞). They are filled with yellow, brown, and red chemicals. When an octopus moves its body, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores can also throw back light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns. An octopus can also change its skin texture (质地).” When the octopus moves its body, its skin can change to look like a plant, or something else. Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea animals-especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes. Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. Because they have no bones in their bodies, octopuses are like large pieces of meat. Many animals want to eat them and they can eat them whole.To live, octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide. 67. Which picture shows an octopus? A. B. C. 68. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Chromatophores can throw back light. B. Chromatophores can change in size. C. Chromatophores produce an animal’s skin texture 69. In red light, an octopus probably appears ________. A. red B. blue C. white 70. The underlined word “disguise” probably means ________. A. to make something hot or warm B. to change appearance so that people can’t recognize (认出) something C. to be brave enough to do something 71. What would be the best title for this passage? A.

Examples 25. three times##3 times 26. to accept/to say yes to/to agree to take 【解析】 【原文】Guo Yang is a 12-year-old boy this year, but on Sunday, he only celebrated his third real birthday. And a man called Billy Schaffner celebrated his 15th birthday this February. But he is 60 years old now. How is this possible? Because they were both born on February 29, a special day called “leap day”. February usually has 28 days. But every fourth year, we add another day to the end of the month. The extra day, February 29, is leap day. And the years with that special day are called “leap years”. (Leap means jump.） Why do we do that? The earth takes a little more than 365 days to go around the sun—about 6 hours more. So to make up for this difference, every four years, an extra day is added to February. By adding leap days every once in a while, we can make sure that we don’t lose time. So what’s it like being born on Leap Day? “I’ve always liked having my birthday on the 29th,” says Billy. “I don’t mind only having my birthday once every four years. I think it’s OK to be special. I like to think it helps keep me young.” 第二部分 基础知识运用（共30小题；计40分） 六、选择填空（共15小题；计20分） A. 从以下各题的A、B、C三个选项中选择最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 27. —Excuse me, is there ________ underground parking lot nearby? —Yes, there is one under the shopping mall.

There are too many new words. A. it B. that C. this 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我发现理解这篇文章很难。生词太多了。 it它；that那个；this这个。此处考查固定句型“find it+adj.+to do sth.”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式to understand this passage，应填it。 29.

A. as long as B. even if C. so that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：即使珍妮考试考得不好，她仍然努力学习。 as long as只要，引导条件状语从句；even if即使，引导让步状语从句；so that以便，为了，引导目的状语从句。前半句“Jenny still worked hard”和后半句“she got bad scores on the exam”之间是让步关系，表示尽管存在后面的情况，前面的动作仍然发生，even if符合语境。 30. Whether or not he can win the competition ________ how hard he practices. A. belongs to B. is in control of C. depends on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他是否能赢得比赛取决于他练习得有多努力。 belongs to属于；is in control of控制；depends on 决于。句子主语是“Whether or not he can win the competition”（主语从句），谓语需要一个动词短语，表达“取决于/依赖于”的逻辑关系。depend on是固定搭配，意思是“取决于；依靠”，主语从句“Whether or not he can win the competition”作主语时，视为单数，因此动词短语用第三人称单数形式depends on。 31. —________ good news it is! I will have a school trip to Hong Kong! —Have a good time! A. What B. What a C. How 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——多么好的消息啊！我要去香港参加学校旅行了！——玩得开心！ What引导感叹句修饰不可数名词或复数名词；What a引导感叹句修饰单数可数名词；How引导感叹句修饰形容词或副词。“news”为不可数名词，应用What引导感叹句，结构为“What+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语!”，应填What。 32. —I have no idea ________ he will come. —He will surely come. He promised me. A. how B. whether C. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不知道他是否会来。——他肯定会来的。他答应我了。 how如何，怎样；whether是否；that引导名词性从句时无实际意义，在从句中不充当成分。“have no idea”后接同位语从句，根据答语“He will surely come.”可知，此处表达的是不确定他“是否”会来，whether符合语境。that引导同位语从句时表示确定的事实，不符合此处不确定的语境；how表示方式，与语境不符。故填whether。 33. ________, studying in a boarding school can improve students’ independence. A. In private B. In general C. In person 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：一般来说，在寄宿学校学习可以提高学生的独立性。 In private私下；In general一般来说；In person亲自。根据“studying in a boarding school can improve students’ independence”可知，此处是在陈述一种普遍的观点或通常情况，“In general”符合语境。 34.

A. are used B. have used C. were used 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：自动驾驶汽车在中国的一些城市被使用，因为它们安全又便宜。 主语“Self-driving cars”和动词use之间是被动关系，需要用被动语态，排除B选项；根据原因状语从句“because they are safe and inexpensive”使用一般现在时可知，此处描述的是现在的客观情况，应用一般现在时的被动语态，排除C选项。are used符合语境和语法要求。 36. —Tim, do you know ________? —Sure! Next Friday. A. when the traditional art festival will be held B. how people will celebrate the traditional art festival C. why the traditional art festival is held 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——蒂姆，你知道传统艺术节将在什么时候举办吗？——当然！下周五。 when项询问时间，how项询问方式，why项询问原因。根据答语“Next Friday”可知，此处询问的是时间，应用when引导宾语从句。 B. 补全对话 根据对话内容，从文后选出适当的选项补全对话。 A: Lidia, how was your trip in Thailand?

There is a cute elephant on it.”符合语境，与动物有关。 【41题详解】 下文答句否定“泰国制造”，此处应询问产地。D项“Was it made in Thailand?”符合语境。 七、完形填空 阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容，从A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共15小题；计20分。A篇每小题2分，计10分；B篇每小题1分，计10分） A Chinese astronauts now have a new spacesuit for going to the moon!

If so, you’ve probably come across someone from abroad. More and more foreigners are visiting our country. Statistics (统计资料) tell us that China received more than 17 million international tourists in the first seven months of this year. But Shanghai is not the only hot spot. There are many Chinese cities popular among travelers. Let’s take a closer look. The top 5 Chinese cities foreign visitors prefer to visit by plane: 57. More than 17 million Chinese travel abroad in the first seven months of 2024 . 58. For the Japanese who fly to China, Shanghai is the most popular city to visit. 59. The flights from South Korea to Shanghai are twice as many as those to Guangzhou. 60. The British people like to fly to Beijing more than to Shenzhen. 61. The bar chart (柱状图) tells us why more and more people choose to travel to China by plane. 【答案】57. B 58. A 59. B 60. A 61. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了越来越多外国游客来中国旅游的现象，并通过柱状图展示了2024年部分国家飞往中国热门城市的航班数量，说明上海、北京等城市深受外国游客喜爱。 【57题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“Statistics tell us that China received more than 17 million international tourists in the first seven months of this year.”可知中国接待了超过1700万国际游客，而不是“中国游客出国旅游”，题干主语和对象完全相反，因此错误。 【58题详解】 图表定位FROM JAPAN的柱状图中，上海的航班数为473，远高于北京（115）、大连（57）、广州（40）、青岛（37），是日本游客飞往中国的首选城市。题干表述与图表数据一致，因此正确。 【59题详解】 图表定位FROM S. KOREA的柱状图中，飞往上海的航班数为201，飞往广州的为46。“twice as many as”表示“是……的两倍”，但201÷46≈4.37，远大于两倍，题干说法不符合数据，因此错误。 【60题详解】 图表定位FROM U.K.的柱状图中，飞往北京的航班数为38，飞往深圳的为5。38>5，说明英国人飞往北京的航班比飞往深圳的多，题干表述正确。 【61题详解】 图表定位柱状图标题为The number of flights per week, 2024展示的是“每周航班数量”，并未提及人们选择乘飞机来中国旅游的原因。题干中“tells us why（说明原因）”与图表内容不符，因此错误。 九、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共10小题；每小题2分，计20分) A a I hate online short videos. It’s not because they are boring. Instead, they are so interesting that my family all like watching them. I still remember the time when we sat together and shared our daily lives during lunch and dinner. These days are gone now. b I always dreamed of living the life of celebrities before. They make so much money. However, I have understood their worries after being famous. I have lost much of my personal time as I’m always followed by fans or reporters wherever I go. c I used to have a plant in my room. But it died because I didn’t take good care of it. Now I have some flowers made of glass. They make my room look great, too. And compared with a plant, they save me much time and energy (精力). Hope these plants won’t “die”. d China used to help the world make everyday objects. You must have heard of Yiwu, a city which is known for its petty commodities (小商品). But now, China is also the center for making some high-technology products like cars and electronic devices. 62. Which passage talks about a problem brought by technology development? A. Passage a.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过不同方面描述“过去是怎样的”与“现在是怎样的”之间的对比，突出了“改变”这一主题。 【62题详解】 根据Passage a中“I hate online short videos… These days are gone now.”可知，作者认为短视频虽然有趣，但导致家人之间交流减少，这是科技发展带来的问题。 【63题详解】 根据Passage b中“They make so much money… I‘m always followed by fans or reporters wherever I go.”可知，“celebrity”指受大众关注的名人，如歌手（Singer），而教师和记者通常不会被粉丝跟随。 【64题详解】 根据Passage c中“Now I have some flowers made of glass…. Hope these plants won’t ‘die’.”可知，玻璃花不需要浇水或阳光，但玻璃易碎，若放置不当掉落可能会损坏（即“死亡”）。 【65题详解】 根据Passage d中“China used to help… But now, China is also the center for making some high-technology products…”可知，文章讲述了中国制造业从日常用品到高科技产品的进步，作者对此应感到自豪（Proud）。 【66题详解】 Passage a讲述家庭交流方式的变化；Passage b讲述成为名人前后生活的变化；Passage c讲述室内装饰植物的变化；Passage d讲述中国制造业的发展变化。四篇文章的共同主题均是“变化”（Changes）。 B Octopuses are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses, but all are similar in one way: They are so good at hiding themselves.Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. How do they do this? An octopus can disguise itself in three ways. One is by using color. An octopus’s skin has something special called chromatophores (色素细胞). They are filled with yellow, brown, and red chemicals. When an octopus moves its body, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores can also throw back light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns. An octopus can also change its skin texture (质地).” When the octopus moves its body, its skin can change to look like a plant, or something else. Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea animals-especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes. Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. Because they have no bones in their bodies, octopuses are like large pieces of meat. Many animals want to eat them and they can eat them whole.To live, octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide. 67. Which picture shows an octopus? A. B. C. 68. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Chromatophores can throw back light. B. Chromatophores can change in size. C. Chromatophores produce an animal’s skin texture 69. In red light, an octopus probably appears ________. A. red B. blue C. white 70. The underlined word “disguise” probably means ________. A. to make something hot or warm B. to change appearance so that people can’t recognize (认出) something C. to be brave enough to do something 71. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Mind of an Octopus B. How an Octopus Hides C. Octopus Numbers on the Rise 【答案】67. A 68. C 69. A 70. B 71. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了章鱼擅长伪装的特点，详细讲解了章鱼通过改变颜色、改变皮肤质地和改变形状这三种方式进行伪装，以及它们进化出这种能力的生存原因。 【67题详解】 根据原文第一段“Octopuses are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms.”可知，章鱼有着圆圆的身体、大眼睛和八条手臂，对应图片A。 【68题详解】 根据原文第三段“An octopus can also change its skin texture.”可知，改变皮肤质地是章鱼另一种独立的伪装方式，并非色素细胞的功能，C选项表述错误。 【69题详解】 根据原文第二段“Chromatophores can also throw back light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white.”可知，色素细胞会反射对应颜色的光，因此在红光下，章鱼的皮肤会呈现出红色。 【70题详解】 根据原文第一段“They are so good at hiding themselves. Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals.”以及第二段“An octopus can disguise itself in three ways.”可知，“disguise”指的是改变外观以隐藏自己，让别人认不出来。 【71题详解】 根据全文内容，文章围绕章鱼的伪装能力展开，详细介绍了它的三种伪装方式以及伪装的生存意义。因此“How an Octopus Hides”完美概括了全文的核心内容，最适合作为文章标题。 B卷（共50分） 一、补全单词 根据首字母及句意写出完整单词。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 72. The c________ store opens 24 hours and you can buy all kinds of daily things there. 【答案】convenience##onvenience 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家便利店24小时营业，你可以在那里买到各种日常用品。首字母“c”以及“opens 24 hours”和“buy all kinds of daily things”表明此处指便利店。convenience store是固定搭配，意为“便利店”。 73. AI maps always offer us an exact a________ so we can get there quickly. 【答案】address##ddress 【解析】 【详解】句意：人工智能地图总是为我们提供准确的地址，这样我们就能快速到达那里。根据首字母提示a以及语境“AI maps”和“get there quickly”可知，此处表示“地址”，对应的英文名词为address；an后接可数名词单数，因此用address，符合语法结构与语境要求。 74. A famous tradition of the Spring Festival i________ setting off fireworks. 【答案】involves##nvolves 【解析】 【详解】句意： 春节的一个著名传统包括放烟花。 句子主语“A famous tradition”为第三人称单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。involves“包括”在此表示“该传统包含放烟花这一活动”，符合语境。 75. The characters in 3D games are much l________ because they just look like the real ones. 【答案】livelier##ivelier 【解析】 【详解】句意：3D游戏中的角色要生动得多，因为它们看起来就跟真的一样。 “they just look like the real ones”表明空处指“生动的”，“much”修饰比较级，livelier是lively的比较级。 76. Today, animal testing is still r________ for many products. New chemicals are often tested on animals first. 【答案】required##equired 【解析】 【详解】句意：如今，许多产品仍然被要求进行动物实验。新化学物质通常先要在动物身上进行测试。 “is still”表明空处需填过去分词作表语。根据首字母“r”以及后一句“New chemicals are often tested on animals first”可知，动物实验在很多产品中仍然是“被要求的”，required“被要求的”符合语境。 二、完成对话 (共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 在空格中填上适当的单词，使对话完整正确。一空一词(含缩写词)。 A: Hello, Lisa.

However, this can be bad for one’s health because it makes sleep quality (质量) even ___87___, according to Brandon Peters, a doctor from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle, US. A good sleep happens in cycles (周期), according to Medical News Today. ___88___ cycle has four stages (阶段). During stage one, we go into a light sleep. Our body relaxes and our heartbeat (心跳) slows. As we fall deeper into sleep, stage two begins. Our eyes stop moving and our body temperature drops. Then comes the third stage which is the deepest sleep and also ___89___ for people to wake up from. Last is the fourth stage, ___90___ as rapid eye movement sleep (快速眼动睡眠), or REM sleep. Our eyes move rapidly from side to side during this stage. At the same time, our breathing picks up and our heartbeat ___91___. REM sleep holds great ___92___ because most of our dreams take place during it. This allows our brain ___93___ emotions (情绪). We may get relaxed and be happy after enough REM sleep. ___94___ REM sleep mostly takes place in the last hours of a night’s sleep, it is a bad idea to disrupt (打扰) it with alarms ringing one after ___95___. “My general advice is that you set one alarm,” said Alicia Roth at the Cleveland Clinic in the US. She also ____96____ that people try alarms that use light, not sound, to wake up. 【答案】87. worse 88. Each 89. the hardest 90. known 91. rises 92. importance 93. to process 94. Since 95. another 96. suggested 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了频繁使用闹钟会降低睡眠质量，医生建议只设一个闹钟，最好用光线而非声音唤醒。 【87题详解】 句意：然而，根据美国西雅图Virginia Mason Franciscan Health的医生Brandon Peters的说法，这可能对健康有害，因为它使睡眠质量更差。上文提到设多个闹钟对健康有害，even后接比较级表示“甚至更……”，bad的比较级是worse。 【88题详解】 句意：每个周期有四个阶段。上文提到睡眠是按周期发生的，此处强调“每一个”周期都有四个阶段，句首首字母需大写，填Each。 【89题详解】 句意：然后是第三阶段，这是最深度的睡眠，也是最难把人叫醒的阶段。深度睡眠时人最难被唤醒，hard“困难的”符合语境，此处需要用形容词最高级。 【90题详解】 句意：最后是第四阶段，被称为快速眼动睡眠。“be known as”为固定搭配，意为“被称为……”，原词know需改为过去分词known。 【91题详解】 句意：与此同时，我们的呼吸加快，心跳加快。主语our heartbeat为第三人称单数，描述REM睡眠期间心跳加快，rises“加快”符合语境，原词rise需变成第三人称单数形式rises。 【92题详解】 句意：快速眼动睡眠具有极大的重要性，因为我们的大部分梦境都发生在此期间。holds importance“具有重要性”，需填名词，原词important需改为importance。 【93题详解】 句意：这使得我们的大脑能够处理情绪。“allow sb./sth. to do sth.”为固定结构，意为“允许……做某事”，原词process需加to构成不定式，填to process。 【94题详解】 句意：由于快速眼动睡眠主要发生在一夜睡眠的最后几个小时，用接连不断的闹钟来打扰它是个坏主意。前后为因果关系，since表示“由于”，引导原因状语从句，句首首字母需大写，填Since。 【95题详解】 句意：用接连不断的闹钟一个接一个来打扰它是个坏主意。“one after another”为固定短语，意为“一个接一个地”，原词other需改为another。 【96题详解】 句意：她还建议人们尝试使用光线而非声音的闹钟来唤醒自己。上文“said Alicia Roth”表明时态为一般过去时，suggest“建议”符合语境，原词suggest需变成过去式suggested。 四、阅读表达（共10小题；计10分） A．补全短文（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 People seldom have free time in modern life. Just look around you. Aren’t the adults all busy with something? But why is that? In the 1500s, life was difficult in American homes. There was no electricity. ___97___ However, many new tools were invented over the following years. ___98___ In the 1920s, full-time housewives spent 51 hours a week doing housework. In the 1960s, they were working 53 hours. ___99___ Better technology leads to higher expectations, and higher expectations create more work. Before modern technology, most people washed their clothes only twice a year. Body odor (臭味) was unavoidable. ___100___ People began washing their clothes more often and bought more shirts and pants. So housewives were always busy washing, drying and folding a lot more clothes. What does this story tell us about modern life? Most of us expect to make small changes to make our lives easier. ___101___ As a result, people get tired of too much work. A. Well, you might work less time. B. Washing machines changed that. C. This may seem surprising, but the reason is simple. D. But instead of enjoying more free time, we often end up doing more things. E. However, people didn’t save much time with the help of these new inventions. F. And family members had to carry every drop of water in and out of the house. 【答案】97. F 98. E 99. C 100. B 101. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是用“家务劳动”这个例子，揭示了效率提升并没有带来更多自由时间，反而催生了更多的工作和更高的标准这一现象。 【97题详解】 空前一句提到“In the 1500s, life was difficult in American homes. There was no electricity.”，空后一段提到新工具发明，F选项“And family members had to carry every drop of water in and out of the house.”具体描述了没有电力和现代设施时生活的艰辛，与前文“life was difficult”和“no electricity”紧密呼应。 【98题详解】 空前一句说“many new tools were invented over the following years.”，空后两句列举数据表明全职主妇做家务的时间并没有减少，E选项“However, people didn’t save much time with the help of these new inventions.”起到了承上启下的转折作用，引出了后面的数据佐证。 【99题详解】 前一段提出了“工具多了但工作时间没少”的矛盾现象，空后一句开始解释原因（Better technology leads to higher expectations...），C选项“This may seem surprising, but the reason is simple.”既总结了前文的矛盾现象，又自然引出了后文的原因解释。 【100题详解】 空前提到“ Before modern technology, most people washed their clothes only twice a year. Body odor (臭味) was unavoidable.”，空后提到“People began washing their clothes more often and bought more shirts and pants.”，B选项“Washing machines changed that.”指出了导致这一变化的具体技术原因，连接了前后关于洗衣频率的描述。 【101题详解】 空前一句说“Most of us expect to make small changes to make our lives easier.”，空后一句说“As a result, people get tired of too much work.”，D选项“But instead of enjoying more free time, we often end up doing more things.”与前文的期望形成对比，并导致了后文“厌倦工作”的结果，符合段落逻辑。 B. 完成图表 （共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainfall because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. Spring begins and people start the farm work in a year. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons. On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收成) in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon beard” noodles, dumplings called “dragon teeth”, spring rolls called dragon’s scales (龙鳞). It seems everything is about the dragon. Today, many customs have disappeared. One that people still do is to cut their hair on that day . It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of a family – mainly mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day. An ___102___ to the Dragon Head Raising Day When it falls It is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. What it means It means the ___103___ of the Dragon King’s winter sleep and the ___104___ of Spring and farming.

In ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to “ lead the dragon into the house”. People eat all kinds of special foods named after dragons that day. Although many customs have disappeared, people keep the tradition of ___107___on that day. 【答案】102. Introduction##introduction 103. end 104. beginning##start 105. How 106. theme 107. cutting (their) hair##having (getting) a haircut (haircuts)##having (getting) their hair cut 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统节日“龙抬头”的时间、意义、由来以及相关的庆祝习俗。 【102题详解】 根据表格整体内容可知，本文是对“龙抬头”这个节日的介绍，结合空前的冠词 “An” 和空后的介词 “to”，可知此处表示“对龙抬头节日的介绍”，introduction意为“介绍”，符合语境。 【103题详解】 根据文章第二段“...the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep.”可知，龙抬头意味着龙王冬眠的结束，填end。 【104题详解】 根据文章第二段“Spring begins and people start the farm work in a year.”可知，龙抬头意味着龙王冬眠的结束，以及春天和农耕的开始，填beginning或start。 【105题详解】 根据表格左侧的分类标题“When it falls（时间）”、“What it means（意义）”、“Why we celebrate it（原因）”以及右侧列举的放草木灰、吃特色食物、理发等庆祝方式，可知该行介绍的是“它是如何被庆祝的”，疑问副词how表示“如何，怎样”。 【106题详解】 根据文章第四段“It seems everything is about the dragon.”可知，在所有的庆祝活动中，龙成为了共同的主题，theme意为“主题”，符合语境。 【107题详解】 根据文章最后一段“One that people still do is to cut their hair on that day.”可知，人们保留了在那一天理发的传统，介词of后需接动名词形式，cut hair的动名词为cutting hair，have/get a haircut动名词形式用having/getting a haircut。 五、书面表达（计15分） 108. 假如你是李华，你来自英国的好朋友Lucy给你写了一封邮件，请根据图片提示给她回复一封邮件。 Dear Li Hua, I haven’t been to Chengdu for a long time.

But he is sixty years old. now. How is this possible? Because they were both born on february, the twenty nine, a special day called leap day. February usually has twenty eight days, but every fourth year we add another day to the end of the month. The extra day, february, the twenty eighth, is leap day. And the years with that special day are called leap years. Leap means jump. Why do we do that?
