A. the, / B. /, / C. /, the D. the, the 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——刘媛是阳光中学的校长，她工作标准很高。——确实如此。据说牛年出生的人很勤奋。 第一空，当表示职位、头衔的名词在句中作表语，且该职位在一个机构中是独一无二的时，前面通常用零冠词。句中“head of Sunshine Middle School”在系动词is后作表语，故第一空填/。第二空，“the Year of the Ox”（牛年）是固定表达，生肖名词前需加定冠词the，故第二空填the。综上，答案选C。 2. — My shower is broken, and I’ll call customer service later. — Really? Are you sure you ________ put it in? A. hardly B. simply C. properly D. specially 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我的淋浴器坏了，我稍后会打电话给客服。——真的吗？你确定你把它安装正确了吗？ hardly几乎不；simply简单地；properly正确地；specially特别地。根据“My shower is broken”可知淋浴器坏了，推测对方质疑安装是否规范，“安装正确”对应副词 properly。 3. —Who is knocking at the door? —It ________ be a delivery man (外卖小哥).

A. can B. must C. should D. will 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——谁在敲门？——一定是外卖小哥。我刚刚在网上点了些食物。 can可能；must一定；should应该；will将要。根据“I ordered some food online just now.”可知，说话人刚点了外卖，推测敲门的人 “一定” 是外卖员，表示把握很大的肯定推测用 must。应填must。 4. —Have you noticed the letter from Mr. Sigmund ________ I put in my desk? —No, I haven’t. A. which B. who C. where D. whom 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你注意到我放在桌子里的西格蒙德先生的信了吗？——不，我没有。 which哪个（指物）；who谁（指人）；where哪里；whom谁（宾格）。先行词是the letter，指物，且在从句中作宾语，所以用which引导。 5. —________ exciting news report the young reporter wrote! — Yes, it’s about the 9th Asian Winter Games held in Harbin from Feb 7th to 14th,2025.

Jiaozi’s story tells us success ________ hard work and great efforts. A. reminds B. realizes C. remains D. requires 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——饺子导演的电影《哪吒2》取得了巨大的成功。——听起来真棒！饺子的故事告诉我们成功需要辛勤劳动和巨大的努力。 reminds提醒；realizes实现；remains保持；requires需要。根据“success...hard work and great efforts”可知，成功离不开努力和付出，此处表示成功“需要”这些条件。应填requires。 7. —Mike, how about going to visit the Slender West Lake this weekend? —OK, ________ it rains heavily. A. if B. when C. until D. unless 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——迈克，这个周末去参观瘦西湖怎么样？——好的，除非下大雨。 if如果；when当……时候；until直到；unless除非。根据答语“OK“可知同意对方的建议，结合“it rains heavily”可知此处表示条件例外，即“除非下大雨（否则就去）”，unless符合语境。 8. —Will your sister go on a trip next Saturday? —If she doesn’t go, ________. A. so do I B. so I will C. neither will I D. neither do I 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你姐姐下周六要去旅行吗？——如果她不去，我也不去。 so表示“也”，用于肯定句；neither表示“也不”，用于否定句，且if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，主句应用将来时。根据条件句“If she doesn’t go”可知，此处表示否定的相同情况，且主句需用一般将来时，故选neither will I。 9. —As a student, getting up early and being afraid of missing the first school bell may be common ________ for you. But thanks to new rules, you can stay in bed longer than before. —That’s the case. A. signs B. symbols C. experiences D. expressions 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——作为一名学生，早起并且害怕错过第一声上课铃声可能是你常见的经历。但多亏了新规定，你可以比以前多睡一会。——确实是这样的情况。 signs标志；symbols象征；experiences经历；expressions表达。根据语境可知，“早起并害怕错过铃声”是学生日常生活中普遍遇到过的事情，属于一种“经历”，experiences符合句意。 10. —Tom, you are late.

A. has started B. has been on C. has ended D. has been over 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆，你迟到了。脱口秀节目已经结束一小时了。——真遗憾！难怪所有学生都离开了。 根据“for an hour”可知，谓语动词需用延续性动词，start和end为瞬时动词，不能与时间段连用，排除A、C；根据“No wonder all the students have left”可知，节目已经结束，而非进行中，排除B。be over表示结束的状态，具有延续性。 11. —Mum, I have nothing to do in my spare time but do endless homework. —My dear, you should ________ a hobby like drawing or taking photos. A. take up B. make up C. set up D. put up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，我空闲时间除了做不完的作业，无事可做。——宝贝，你应该培养一项爱好，比如画画或者拍照。 take up开始从事，培养；make up编造，组成；set up建立；put up张贴，举起。根据“a hobby”可知，此处表达“培养爱好”，应选take up。 12. —How do you like the dish recommended by the cook? —Fantastic! Its taste is ________ words. A. under B. beyond C. against D. through 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得厨师推荐的这道菜怎么样？——太棒了！它的味道无法用言语形容。 under在……下面；beyond超过，超出；against反对；through通过。根据答语“Fantastic!”可知对菜品评价极高，beyond words是固定搭配，意为“无法用言语形容”，符合语境。故选B。 13. —Miss Wang thinks Jack is not working hard these days. —________. He is anything but lazy. I always see him working on math problems at school. A. No way B. How come C. No wonder D. You bet 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——王老师觉得杰克这几天学习不够努力。——不可能！他绝不懒惰。我经常看见他在学校解数学题。 No way不可能；How come怎么会；No wonder难怪；You bet当然。根据答语中“He is anything but lazy”可知，说话者完全否定王老师的看法，表示绝不可能，只有“No way”符合语境。 14. —Doubao is very popular these days.

A. what will happen in the future B. whether we can use it properly C. how we can control its development D. if it will replace humans in the future 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——豆包最近很流行。我想知道它未来是否会取代人类。——恐怕不会，它很有帮助，但永远无法取代我们的新想法和情感。 根据答语“I’m afraid not, it helps a lot, but it can never take the place of...”可知，答语回应的是“是否会取代人类”的问题，因此问句询问的是关于“取代人类”的可能性，D项正确。 15. —Sam, I think you need to have a plan B. ________. —OK. Nobody can be certain of what is going to happen in the future. A. Every dog has its day B. Many hands make light work C. You can’t burn the candle at both ends D. It’s unwise to put all your eggs in one basket 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Sam，我觉得你需要有个B计划。把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里是不明智的。——好的。没有人能确定将来会发生什么。 Every dog has its day人人皆有得意时；Many hands make light work人多力量大；You can’t burn the candle at both ends蜡烛不能两头烧（精力不可过度消耗）；It’s unwise to put all your eggs in one basket不要把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里（孤注一掷是不明智的）。根据答句“Nobody can be certain of what is going to happen in the future.”可知，前句强调做事要留后路、分散风险，应填It’s unwise to put all your eggs in one basket。 二、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，计15分) 阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A resume(简历)by a five-year-old kid recently has become the hottest topic on Chinese social media.

John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much stronger. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. —Adapted from Black Beauty 34.

The wind was then much stronger. My master said to John, ‘I have never been out in such a storm!’”可知，他们离开小镇回家时，遭遇了强烈的暴风雨。 【35题详解】 第三段“We came to a wooden bridge”表明一行人来到木桥准备过河，这是故事的起点事件，对应选项e；紧接着，第三段描述“I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop.”，即Black Beauty在桥边拒绝前行，对应选项d；第三段“he gave me a touch with the whip”表明主人见马不肯动，用鞭子催促，对应选项b；第六段‘Hey! Halloo! Stop!’ he cried.”桥对面的路人喊住他们，警告桥已断裂，对应选项a；文章最后一段“Oh!

But is this really the best way to learn? My daughter, born in 2003, didn’t use many screens until she started secondary school. She used iTunes U and other apps for her lessons, but I didn’t like it. There were always password problems, and the lessons on the iPad were not as interesting as her paper books from primary school. Seven years later, my son got a laptop (手提电脑) on his first day of secondary school, and I was worried. But soon, the school said they were only using them for certain classes. The school had thought about how to use technology and decided that using pens and paper was better. Research shows that paper notebooks are better than digital ones. Writing by hand helps with understanding and remembering because it encourages students to rewrite and summarize what they hear. Japanese brain experts have also found that writing in a notebook gets many parts of the brain working, which helps with focus. Writing in a notebook can also make you feel good because it turns blank pages into something special and personal. Digital notes don’t have the same feel. For a long time, notebooks were very important in education. A way of taking notes called “common placing” changed how people learned. Even famous people like William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton used it. They filled their notebooks with great quotes(引用)from the things they read. But in today’s world, where we can find information so easily on the Internet, some people think that writing by hand is old-fashioned. However, using a pen and paper is still important, especially in school. Students should write more by hand and type less. 38. How did the author feel about the iPad program at the daughter’s school? A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Uncertain. D. Confused. 39. Why do Japanese brain experts support writing by hand? A. It is cheaper than digital devices. B. It is faster than typing. C. It is popular among young students. D. It helps with brain focus and personal feeling. 40. What’s the right structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 41. What is the main idea the author express according to the text? A. Digital devices are necessary in modern classrooms. B. Writing by hand stays necessary for learning. C. Schools should stop using all technology D. Common placing is a valuable study technology. 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过自己女儿和儿子使用数字设备的经历，指出数字学习存在弊端。 【38题详解】 第二段明确说“I didn’t like it”，因此作者感到不高兴。所以是unhappy。 【39题详解】 第五段指出“writing in a notebook gets many parts of the brain working, which helps with focus”以及“can also make you feel good”。说明有利于大脑集中和个人感受。 【40题详解】 文章先提出问题，然后通过个人经历、研究证据、历史例子来论证，最后得出结论。具体结构需看选项图示，但通常为“引言—论证—结论”模式。 【41题详解】 作者最后明确说“using a pen and paper is still important, especially in school”，并建议学生多手写少打字。 D Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study from the University of California and Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,933 people and compared unrelated friends’ genes and unrelated strangers’ genes. They found that friends have about 1% of genes that match. “1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a large number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University said. In fact, this is the same number of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (敏感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With these findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: Would you like to take this test and know in advance (提前) who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 42. From the passage, we know that our friends ________. A. look like our cousins B. share about 1% of genes with us C. feel close to our family D. can help us when we feel cold 43. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________. A. we develop our friendship by chance B. our genes decide who we can make friends with exactly C. everyone should take the test called the “friendship score” D. people sharing certain genes have skills and interests in common 44. The writer gives the example of ancient people, in Paragraph 5 to ________. A. study how ancient people dealt with the cold B. predict that similar environments lead to friendship C. prove that it is evolution that brings friends together D. explain how ancient people gave each other chances to keep alive 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Friendship: Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes? B. Friendship: Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? C. Friendship: Its Influence on Behavior and Genes D. Friendship: Its Benefits to People and Skills 【答案】42. B 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过引用大学研究数据、遗传学专家观点和进化论解释，客观阐述友谊与基因关联的科学发现。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They found that friends have about 1% of genes that match”可知，朋友之间大约有1%的基因是相同的。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,”可知，有相同特定基因的人会有相同的技能和相似的好恶，所以作者可能同意选项D的观点。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (敏感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive”可知，在古代，相似的人待在一起是很重要的；对寒冷有相似敏感性的人更有可能互相帮助生火，这使他们有更好的机会活下来；据此可以推断，文章第五段提到古代人的例子是为了说明进化使人们走到一起成为朋友。故选C。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。本文围绕朋友之间基因的相似性展开，探讨了基因对友谊的影响；选项A“友谊：有可能受到基因的影响吗？”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 四、词汇运用(共10小题，每小题1分，计10分) 用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空，使句意完整，每空一词。 46. ________ (十二月) 25th is Christmas Day. It is one of the most important festivals in the USA. 【答案】December 【解析】 【详解】句意：12月25日是圣诞节，它是美国最重要的节日之一。根据括号内的中文提示“十二月”，对应的英文单词是December，月份单词首字母需大写，故填December。 47. The general manager offered several ________ (建议) at the meeting. And all of them are useful. 【答案】suggestions 【解析】 【详解】句意：总经理在会议上提出了几条建议，所有的建议都很有用。根据汉语提示“建议”，可知对应的英文单词是suggestion；空格前的several表示“几个”，后接可数名词复数形式，因此需将suggestion变为复数suggestions。故填suggestions。 48. Don’t get ________ (耐心的) when you are in trouble. Try to calm down first. 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：遇到麻烦时不要急躁，先试着冷静下来。根据“Try to calm down first.”以及汉语提示可知，这里指遇到麻烦时不要急躁。句子是否定祈使句Don’t get…，需要表达“不耐心的、急躁的”，故填patient的反义词impatient。 49. Though the scientist is in his ________, he is still in good health. (九十) 【答案】nineties 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管这位科学家已经九十多岁了，但他的身体仍然很好。in one’s+整十基数词的复数形式是固定结构，意思是“在某人几十多岁的时候”，九十的基数词是ninety，变复数为nineties。 50. The time ________ (花费) finishing the task depends on how hard it is and how fast you work. 【答案】spent 【解析】 【详解】句意：完成这个任务所花费的时间取决于它的难度和你工作的速度。“ finishing the task”是修饰“the time”的，此处需要过去分词作定语修饰“The time”，表示“被花费的时间”，表示“花费”的动词为“spend”，其过去分词为“spent”。 51. Although I didn’t pass the interview, I gained ________ (value) experiences. 【答案】valuable 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然我没有通过面试，但我获得了宝贵的经验。value“价值”，是名词；句中“experiences”为名词，前面需要用形容词修饰，value的形容词形式是valuable，意为“有价值的；宝贵的”。 52. This must be the ________ (mad) idea that I have ever heard of. 【答案】maddest 【解析】 【详解】句意：这一定是我听过的最疯狂的想法。根据空前的定冠词“the”以及空后的“I have ever heard of”可知，此处含有最高级的含义，指最疯狂的想法，应用最高级形式maddest。故填maddest。 53. China is good at making high-technology ______(produce) that people can buy everywhere. 【答案】products 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国擅长制作人们到处都可以买到的高科技的产品。此处应填名词作宾语，produce的名词product“产品”符合语境，且应用复数形式。故填products。 54. With the country’s ________ (far) development, China will do more for world peace. 【答案】further 【解析】 【详解】句意：随着国家的进一步发展，中国将为世界和平做出更多的贡献。根据“China will do more for world peace”可知，中国将会做更多贡献，说明国家会进一步发展，提示词“far”的比较级是further，表示程度“更进一步的”，符合语境。 55. This translator ________ (success) translated this book into four different languages. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位翻译成功地将这本书翻译成了四种不同的语言。句中“translated”为动词，需要用副词修饰，括号内所给词“success”是名词，其副词形式为“successfully”，表示“成功地”，符合语境，故填successfully。 五、阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 阅读并回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes. Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur. My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.” The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built. In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 56. Where do Tibetan antelopes live? ______________________________________________ 57. How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks? ______________________________________________ 58. When was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list? ______________________________________________ 59. Why did the population of Tibetan antelopes drop in the 1980s and 1990s? ______________________________________________ 60. What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes?(请自拟一句话作答) ______________________________________________ 【答案】56. They live on the plains of Xizang,Xinjiang and Qinghai./On the plains of Xizang,Xinjiang and Qinghai. 57. They watched over them day and night./By watching over them day and night. 58. In June 2015. 59. Because hunters shot them and habitats became smaller. 60. We can build more nature reserves./We should stop buying wild animal products.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了藏羚羊的生存现状、曾经面临的濒危危机、中国政府和志愿者采取的保护措施及显著成效，呼吁人类与自然和谐共处。 【56题详解】 第二段第一句明确指出“Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang and Qinghai”，这是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 【57题详解】 第五段第二句明确指出“Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks”，答案为原文直接信息。 【58题详解】 第六段第二句明确给出“in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list”，直接提取时间信息。 【59题详解】 此答案是对第四段信息的概括总结。该段提到两个核心原因：一是“Hunters shot antelopes to make profits”；二是“Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built”。 【60题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，观点需基于文中保护措施或合理可行的日常行为，表述简洁即可。 六、缺词填空(共10小题，每小题1分，计10分) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，每空一词。 Classical Chinese is a written form of the Chinese language used in ancient China, mainly based on the language from before the Qin period. Before 1918, all articles were w____61____ in Classical Chinese. Today, we generally call it “wenyanwen”. Classical Chinese is now an important c____62____ for every middle school student. Learning it helps us understand h____63____ ancient Chinese spoke and thought. I would like to recommend a book for students who are deeply i____64____ in Classical Chinese. Ancient Chinese is a famous series with 4 books and 14 units. Each unit has three parts: anthology (选集), common words, and archaic Chinese (古汉语). Anthology p____65____ many famous articles from The Analects, Stratagems of the Warring States, Zuo Tradition and The Works of Mencius. These works have made great contributions to Chinese literary history. After reading the anthology, you will learn how to tell the d____66____ between ancient and modern words. For example, in spoken language, we say “你吃饭了吗?”, b____67____ in Classical Chinese, it becomes “饭否?”, Archaic Chinese tells the background of the anthology, helping you better understand the stories. These parts are c____68____ connected. If you only read the anthology, you will only understand what the teacher e____69____. If you only study common words but don’t read the anthology, you will only get some knowledge about words. W____70____ learning archaic Chinese, you cannot truly master classical Chinese as a whole. So, you must study all three parts together. If you enjoy Classical Chinese, we hope this book will help deepen your interest in Classical Chinese, history, and literature. 【答案】61. written##ritten 62. course##ourse 63. how##ow 64. interested##nterested 65. picks##icks 66. difference##ifference##differences##ifferences 67. but##ut 68. closely##losely 69. explains##xplains##expresses##xpresses 70. Without##ithout 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了文言文的相关知识，并向对文言文感兴趣的中学生推荐了《古代汉语》这套书，详细说明了该书的结构和学习方法。 【61题详解】 句意：在1918年以前，所有的文章都是用文言文写的。分析句子结构可知，主语all articles与动词write之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，故使用一般过去时的被动语态（were + 过去分词）。write的过去分词为written。 【62题详解】 句意：文言文现在是每个中学生的一门重要课程。根据前面的an important和首字母c提示，结合语境可知，文言文是一门“课程”，course意为“课程”，符合句意。 【63题详解】 句意：学习它有助于我们理解古代中国人是如何说话和思考的。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导宾语从句，表示古代中国人说话和思考的“方式”，结合首字母h，应填how。 【64题详解】 句意：我想为对文言文深感兴趣的学生推荐一本书。根据语境和首字母i可知，此处考查固定搭配be interested in...，意为“对……感兴趣”。 【65题详解】 句意：选集收录了许多来自《论语》《战国策》《左传》和《孟子》的著名文章。主语Anthology为单数，句子用一般现在时，结合文意及首字母p，picks（收录、选编）符合语境。 【66题详解】 句意：读完选集后，你将学会区分古今词语的不同。固定搭配tell the difference/differences between...（区分……之间的不同）。 【67题详解】 句意：例如，在口语中，我们说“你吃饭了吗？”，但在文言文中，它变成了“饭否？”。分析前后句意可知，口语和文言文的表达形成了对比转折关系，结合首字母b，应填but（但是）。 【68题详解】 句意：这些部分是紧密相连的。分析句子结构可知，设空处修饰动词（过去分词作表语）connected，需要用副词。根据语境和首字母c可知，这些部分是“紧密地”相连，closely意为“紧密地”。 【69题详解】 句意：如果你只读选集，你只会理解老师解释/表达的内容。主语the teacher为单数，句子用一般现在时，结合文意及首字母e，explains（解释）或 expresses（表达）均可，常用表达为explains。 【70题详解】 句意：如果不学习古汉语，你就不能真正整体掌握文言文。根据语境和首字母W可知，此处表示“没有，如果不”，且后接动名词learning，应使用介词without。位于句首，首字母需大写。 七、书面表达(计30分) A. 根据所给汉语翻译下列句子，词数不限。(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 71. 不但Tom的父母而且Tom都着迷于集邮。 ______________________________________________ 【答案】Not only Tom’s parents but (also) Tom is crazy about collecting stamps. 【解析】 【详解】“不但Tom的父母而且Tom都着迷于集邮”译为“Not only Tom’s parents but also Tom is crazy about collecting stamps.”其中“不但……而且……”用 not only...but also...连接两个并列主语；“着迷于……”用固定搭配be crazy about；“集邮”译为collecting stamps（动名词作介词about的宾语）。not only...but also...连接两个主语时，谓语动词遵循 “就近一致” 原则，即与最靠近的主语Tom（第三人称单数）保持一致，故用is，而非are。 72. Mike对这个书架很满意，因为它没有占据太多的空间。 ______________________________________________ 【答案】Mike is satisfied with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space./Mike is happy with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space./Mike is pleased with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space. 【解析】 【详解】“Mike对这个书架很满意，因为它没有占据太多的空间。”译为“Mike is satisfied with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space./Mike is happy with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space./Mike is pleased with the bookshelf because it doesn’t take up too much space.”。“对……感到满意”用be satisfied/happy/pleased with表达，句子为一般现在时，主语为单数，be动词用is；“这个书架”用the bookshelf表达，表示特指；“因为”用because表达，引导原因状语从句；“它”用it表达；“没有”用doesn’t表达；“占据”用take up表达；“太多的”用too much表达，修饰不可数名词；“空间”用space表达。 73. 这个男孩够细心，注意到了每个细节。 ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】This boy is so careful that he pays attention to every detail. =This boy is careful enough to pay attention to every detail. 【解析】 【详解】这是陈述句，主语是this boy，表达“足够细心”可用careful enough，后用动词不定式做结果状语;表示“注意到”用“pay attention to”,宾语是“每个细节”用every detail。或者用so…that…引导结果状语从句，so接形容词careful；that后面的从句主语是he ,谓语动词是第三人称单数形式pays attention to，宾语是every detail。故答案为This boy is so careful that he pays attention to every detail./ This boy is careful enough to pay attention to every detail. 74. 养成良好的阅读习惯能给我们打开一个全新的世界。 ______________________________________________ 【答案】Forming/ Developing /Falling into a good habit of reading can open up a whole new world to us. 【解析】 【详解】“养成良好的阅读习惯能给我们打开一个全新的世界”译为Forming/Developing/Falling into a good habit of reading can open up a whole new world to us.“养成良好的阅读习惯”用Forming/Developing/Falling into a good habit of reading表示，“打开一个全新的世界”可用open up a whole new world表示，“给我们”可用to us。 75. 那个医生别无选择只能尽快给他动手术。 ______________________________________________ 【答案】The doctor had no choice but to operate on him as soon as possible./The doctor had no choice but to perform an operation on him as soon as possible./The doctor had no choice but to operate on him as quickly as possible. 【解析】 【详解】“那个医生别无选择只能尽快给他动手术。”译为“The doctor had no choice but to operate on him as soon as possible./The doctor had no choice but to perform an operation on him as soon as possible./The doctor had no choice but to operate on him as quickly as possible.”。“那个医生”用The doctor表达，表示特指；“别无选择只能”用had no choice but to do表达，句子为一般过去时，动词用过去式had；“尽快”用as soon as possible/as quickly as possible表达；“给他动手术”用operate on him/perform an operation on him表达。 B. 写作(计20分) 76. 每年的5月25日是全国心理健康日。为促进学生们快乐学习、健康成长，我校英语俱乐部近期开展了以“Less Stress, Better Life”为题的征文比赛。请根据提示内容，用英语写一篇短文，简要阐述中学生压力大的原因、提出恰当的解压方法并谈谈你对压力的看法。 注意事项： 1.根据信息提示，把握要点，适当发挥； 2.要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 3.文中不得出现真实人名或学校信息； 4.词数不少于100词左右，标题及开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Less Stress, Better Life Nowadays, we teenagers have a lot of stress while growing up. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Less Stress, Better Life Nowadays, we teenagers have a lot of stress while growing up. The stress often comes from heavy schoolwork. Students have to stay up late to finish homework. As a result, they always feel sleepy the next day. Also, many parents expect their children to get good grades. Students will feel more anxious if they fail to meet their parents’ high expectations. To reduce stress, we can ask our teachers for help and communicate with them as often as possible. And we should just try our best to study. Don’t care about the grades too much.

I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much stronger. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. —Adapted from Black Beauty 34.

D. Impatient and unwise. C As technology becomes a part of our classrooms, students are using more digital devices (设备) to learn. But is this really the best way to learn? My daughter, born in 2003, didn’t use many screens until she started secondary school. She used iTunes U and other apps for her lessons, but I didn’t like it. There were always password problems, and the lessons on the iPad were not as interesting as her paper books from primary school. Seven years later, my son got a laptop (手提电脑) on his first day of secondary school, and I was worried. But soon, the school said they were only using them for certain classes. The school had thought about how to use technology and decided that using pens and paper was better. Research shows that paper notebooks are better than digital ones. Writing by hand helps with understanding and remembering because it encourages students to rewrite and summarize what they hear. Japanese brain experts have also found that writing in a notebook gets many parts of the brain working, which helps with focus. Writing in a notebook can also make you feel good because it turns blank pages into something special and personal. Digital notes don’t have the same feel. For a long time, notebooks were very important in education. A way of taking notes called “common placing” changed how people learned. Even famous people like William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton used it. They filled their notebooks with great quotes(引用)from the things they read. But in today’s world, where we can find information so easily on the Internet, some people think that writing by hand is old-fashioned. However, using a pen and paper is still important, especially in school. Students should write more by hand and type less. 38. How did the author feel about the iPad program at the daughter’s school? A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Uncertain. D. Confused. 39. Why do Japanese brain experts support writing by hand? A. It is cheaper than digital devices. B. It is faster than typing. C. It is popular among young students. D. It helps with brain focus and personal feeling. 40. What’s the right structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 41. What is the main idea the author express according to the text? A. Digital devices are necessary in modern classrooms. B. Writing by hand stays necessary for learning. C. Schools should stop using all technology D. Common placing is a valuable study technology. D Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study from the University of California and Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,933 people and compared unrelated friends’ genes and unrelated strangers’ genes. They found that friends have about 1% of genes that match. “1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a large number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University said. In fact, this is the same number of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (敏感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With these findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: Would you like to take this test and know in advance (提前) who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 42. From the passage, we know that our friends ________. A. look like our cousins B. share about 1% of genes with us C. feel close to our family D. can help us when we feel cold 43. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________. A. we develop our friendship by chance B. our genes decide who we can make friends with exactly C. everyone should take the test called the “friendship score” D. people sharing certain genes have skills and interests in common 44. The writer gives the example of ancient people, in Paragraph 5 to ________. A. study how ancient people dealt with the cold B. predict that similar environments lead to friendship C. prove that it is evolution that brings friends together D. explain how ancient people gave each other chances to keep alive 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Friendship: Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes? B. Friendship: Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? C. Friendship: Its Influence on Behavior and Genes D. Friendship: Its Benefits to People and Skills 四、词汇运用(共10小题，每小题1分，计10分) 用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空，使句意完整，每空一词。 46. ________ (十二月) 25th is Christmas Day.

To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes. Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur. My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.” The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built. In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 56. Where do Tibetan antelopes live? ______________________________________________ 57.

Before 1918, all articles were w____61____ in Classical Chinese. Today, we generally call it “wenyanwen”. Classical Chinese is now an important c____62____ for every middle school student. Learning it helps us understand h____63____ ancient Chinese spoke and thought. I would like to recommend a book for students who are deeply i____64____ in Classical Chinese. Ancient Chinese is a famous series with 4 books and 14 units. Each unit has three parts: anthology (选集), common words, and archaic Chinese (古汉语). Anthology p____65____ many famous articles from The Analects, Stratagems of the Warring States, Zuo Tradition and The Works of Mencius. These works have made great contributions to Chinese literary history. After reading the anthology, you will learn how to tell the d____66____ between ancient and modern words. For example, in spoken language, we say “你吃饭了吗?”, b____67____ in Classical Chinese, it becomes “饭否?”, Archaic Chinese tells the background of the anthology, helping you better understand the stories. These parts are c____68____ connected. If you only read the anthology, you will only understand what the teacher e____69____. If you only study common words but don’t read the anthology, you will only get some knowledge about words. W____70____ learning archaic Chinese, you cannot truly master classical Chinese as a whole. So, you must study all three parts together. If you enjoy Classical Chinese, we hope this book will help deepen your interest in Classical Chinese, history, and literature. 七、书面表达(计30分) A. 根据所给汉语翻译下列句子，词数不限。(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 71. 不但Tom的父母而且Tom都着迷于集邮。 ______________________________________________ 72.
