A The big debate (辩论) Should potatoes be called a vegetable? When you hear the word “vegetable”, you might think of carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers-not mashed potatoes (土豆泥) or chips. But according to the US Department of Agriculture, potatoes are a vegetable because they have nutrients (营养素). However, many food experts (专家) say potatoes don’t belong in the same group. What do you think? Should potatoes be called a vegetable? Three reasons potatoes should be called a vegetable 1. Potatoes meet the criteria (标准) for being a vegetable and have key nutrients. 2. There are many healthy and delicious ways to enjoy potatoes, such as baking (烘焙) and roasting (烤). 3. Even if they are not as healthy as tomatoes or carrots, they’re better than not eating any vegetables at all. Three reasons potatoes should not be called a vegetable 1. If potatoes are considered as veggies, people will think they’re healthy and eat too much of them. 2. Potatoes have some nutrients, but they’re high in carbohydrates (碳水). 3. Harvard nutrition experts advise people to avoid potatoes and choose other vegetables instead. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue. Visit kids.theweekjunior.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote Yes if you think potatoes should be called a vegetable or No if you don’t. We’ll publish the results next week. 26. Why does the “YES” side think potatoes should be called a vegetable? A. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates. B. Potatoes have key nutrients in them. C. Potatoes have been popular for a long time. D. Potatoes are much healthier than other vegetables. 27. What is the purpose of having such a debate? A. To show food experts are wrong. B. To prove potatoes are healthy food. C. To stop people from eating potatoes. D. To encourage readers to share opinions. 28. Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from? A. Sports. B. Fashion. C. Health. D. Travel. Task Ⅳ Witness kindness on the line. B Students at a school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline (热线) that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just a few days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour. The hotline offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive (积极的) messages. For example, by pressing 3, you can hear a group of kids saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in these difficult times. “To hear the pure joy from kids is really relaxing,” she says. Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. The project had two parts—one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from Kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else?” Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she divided the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline. Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, tired, or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include: “punch (捶) your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. This includes messages like: “The world is a better place with you in it.” And “You are okay!” Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were hung up around the town. Many posters had strips of paper that people passing by could tear off (撕下) and take with them. For example, one poster said “If you are mad, think of positive thoughts”, and had tear-off strips reminding people to “Be happy”. 29. Why did the students create the hotline? A. To make money for their school. B. To encourage people to cheer up. C. To practice their speaking skills. D. To learn how to use a telephone. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It included a hotline and encouraging posters. B. It asked students to give advice on art learning. C. It was named “PepToc” by artist Asherah Weiss. D. It brought calm to students from different grades. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Martin and her students? A. Creative and helpful. B. Organized and curious. C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous. Task Ⅴ Experience unexpected kindness. C Ray was caught up in his thoughts, watching the clouds outside the window. Some of the kids were playing with paper planes, and others just chatting. Their teacher had gone out. And when he returned there was a boy with him. The boy was new. He looked so tired and his clothes were old and dirty. The teacher introduced him to the class, the boy’s name was “Richard”. He went and sat at a nearby seat behind Ray. After class, Ray and his friends were chatting together. They heard the new boy saying that he belonged to a low class family and he was really looking forward to studying hard and getting good marks. This caught the attention of Ray and his friends. So they called out to him “hey new boy, what’s up with your clothes?”. Another called out “didn’t have enough money to buy yourself a proper clothes? Do you have enough money to buy food at least?”, “poor deaarrr!”. Ray and his friends burst out laughing. Richard felt embarrassed (尴尬的) and he went away. The next day the same thing happened, they were laughing at him. During the evening, Ray was taking a walk across the street. He saw Richard was feeding some bread to a dog, which was tied to a pole (柱子) in front of a very dirty old house. The dog was having difficulty in breathing. Richard tried to take away the rope but as it was about to come out, a tall drunk man came out from back. He grabbed (抓住) him around the neck and lifted him upwards. Richard was pleading (乞求) him to leave him alone and that he wouldn’t come again, but the man didn’t put him down. Then suddenly the man was thrown forward and Richard fell. He saw that Ray had kicked the man. Ray lifted Richard up and took the rope from the dog. The dog was so happy and it ran away immediately. The man got up and he was in a really bad anger that he was ready to hit Ray with a glass bottle. But both Ray and Richard kicked the man hard in the stomach and ran away. 32. How did Ray and his friends treat Richard at first? A. They introduced him to their head teacher. B. They laughed at his clothes and poor family. C. They invited him to feed a small dog together. D.

According to the United Nations, enough plastic waste to fill 2, 000 garbage trucks is thrown into waterways such as oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Everest. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times,” she said. “They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Jagiello defines (下定义) the age we’re in now as the period in which human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that influence. New homes Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from enemies, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails. But according to Jagiello’s study, of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing rubbish. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass or metal, such as broken light bulbs or soda cans. Jagiello said that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing trash when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing research. For their study, the researchers scanned the internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. What does it mean? Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have theories (推测). Some sea snail populations are decreasing. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its impressive colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation (适应),” Jagiello said. “What are the long-term consequences (后果) of these adaptations? We don’t know.” 36. What does Jagiello mean by saying “a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times”? A. Hermit crabs prefer light and bright plastic shells. B. All hermit crabs are now forced to live in plastic waste. C. Plastic shells help hermit crabs hide from their enemies better. D. Human activities have caused great changes to the environment. 37. How did Jagiello and her team do their research on hermit crabs? A. By collecting and studying photos of them from the internet. B. By taking lots of photos of them in controlled environments. C. By taking a close look at hermit crabs in their natural habitats. D. By interviewing local people about their findings of hermit crabs. 38. What does the underlined word “decreasing” most probably mean? A. Increasing. B. Dividing. C. Surviving. D. Dropping. 39. What can we learn from Jagiello’s words in the last paragraph? A. She plans to stop hermit crabs from using plastic shells. B. She thinks hermit crabs should not change their habits. C. She is sure that plastic pollution is good for hermit crabs. D. She believes adaptation is amazing but its results are unknown. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Plastic Waste Is Harming Sea Animals B. Hermit Crabs Are in Great Danger Now C. Hermit Crabs Are Turning to Trash for New Homes D. Scientists Photograph Hermit Crabs Living with Trash 非选择题(共50分) 四、填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) Ⅶ Let’s step into the exciting world of the robot-human half-marathon!

A． 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第1~8小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第9小题。注意：第1~8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 Have you ever watched a show about the wild? A shark eats a seal! Lions run down a gazelle! Is all nature like that? All about eating and blood? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some living things that work with each other instead of ripping each other apart. When a lion kills a gazelle, it wants to eat as much as it can and maybe share the rest with its family. There are some living things that will take small pieces of another living thing’s body. Parasitism (寄生) is when one living thing gets its energy from another living thing, does not give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things from. Now let’s get a little nicer. Sometimes a living thing will live off the body of another living thing without hurting it. They do not steal anything. They do not bite. Commensalism (共生) is when two living things live together and one gets good things out of it while the other is not hurt by it. Have you seen a picture of a whale (鲸) with rocky white things stuck to its skin? Those are barnacles (藤壶). They attach themselves to the whale, so nothing will try to eat them and they can eat things that float by. Now let’s get really nice. While sharks are biting and lions are fighting, are there any animals that just get along? Yes! Actually, there are many. Mutualism (互利共生) is when two living things work together and both get good things out of it. Bees and flowers are the most common example. Without flowers, bees could not make honey. Without bees, flowers could not make new seeds. It’s win-win for these two. There are lots of animals that get along. Birds will live on the backs of zebras and eat the ticks that are drinking the zebras’ blood. The bird gets food. The zebra gets its ticks taken away. In some of these cases, one animal could not live without the other. We use the word “Symbiotic (共生的)” for all of these kinds of relationships. Sometimes it’s good for one and bad for the other. Sometimes it’s just good for one. Sometimes it’s even good for both. So, it is nice to know that there are some living things out there that are finding ways to live together. We could pay attention to the animals that do not always make it on TV. Nature’s Amazing Partnerships What is Symbiosis?  All living things in nature are ____56____ with each other.  Close relationships between different species in nature are called Symbiosis. Parasitism: One Gets, One Hurts  One living thing gets food from the other one and does ____57____ to it .  It only gains for itself and offers ____58____ in return. Example: Ticks & dogs Commensalism: One Wins, One Doesn’t ____59____  Two living things live closely together.  One side gains advantages, while the other one is neither harmed nor helped. Example: Barnacles & ____60____ Mutualism: Win-Win for Both  It’s a win-win situation for both sides; they can even ____61____ on each other to live.  Two living things ____62____ each other and both get benefits from the partnership. Examples: Bees & Flowers; Birds & Zebras Why Does Symbiosis Matter? Symbiotic relationships help keep ecosystems in ____63____. Your idea: Share one example from your own life experience based on symbiotic relationships from the passage in at least 20 words. ____________________________________________64____________________________________________ Ⅺ Let’s talk with history with the help of AI! B． 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在相应位置上。 A face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang, once only a thought, is now within reach. In Central China’s Hunan Province, AI is making this kind of “meeting” p____65____—it’s making old things, places and even people from Qin Dynasty (221 — 206 BC) come alive. This fun project is from teamwork b____66____ a Changsha company and archaeologists (考古学家). The team uses AI to collect information from old papers and things dug up. Also, they put them in o____67____. The company’s manager, Zhang Gangyi, showed how useful the technology is. He made a picture of Hua, an officer from the Qin Dynasty. Hua’s story and many facts of life in Qin times were written on about 38, 000 bamboo slips (竹简). People found these slips in 2002. They are very useful—they filled an e____68____ part in history and told us 15-year life in an old Qin town. Now, the AI-made Hua is a guide at Liye Ancient Town Archaeological Site Park. The park opened again in October after being fixed. It has a new smart guiding system made by Zhang’s team. They t____69____ the old words on the bamboo slips into fun videos. Visitors can scan QR codes (二维码) at the park to watch these videos. Then they can feel w____70____ life was like 2, 000 years ago. All pictures, clothes and things in the videos are b____71____ on real historical finds. For example, Hua’s clothes got ideas from Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb in Shaanxi. The team had to read many reports to get small facts right. This was a big c____72____ for them. Zhang loves Chinese history very much. He said technology helps people learn about the p____73____ better. “History is not just in museum boxes — people can f____74____ it and talk with it,” he said. He thinks “culture + technology” will make traditional culture easier for everyone to enjoy. For example, visitors could wear VR (虚拟现实) glasses to see Qin Dynasty buildings on screen. 六、书面表达(满分15分) Ⅻ Let’s plan a fun English party for our final English class! 75. 假设你是李华，请根据你的英语老师Mr. Wu邮件内容，用英语给Mr. Wu回复一封电子邮件。 From: Mr Wu@mail.com Subject: English party Dear Students, Next month, we’ll have our last English class in junior high school.

A The big debate (辩论) Should potatoes be called a vegetable? When you hear the word “vegetable”, you might think of carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers-not mashed potatoes (土豆泥) or chips. But according to the US Department of Agriculture, potatoes are a vegetable because they have nutrients (营养素). However, many food experts (专家) say potatoes don’t belong in the same group. What do you think? Should potatoes be called a vegetable? Three reasons potatoes should be called a vegetable 1. Potatoes meet the criteria (标准) for being a vegetable and have key nutrients. 2. There are many healthy and delicious ways to enjoy potatoes, such as baking (烘焙) and roasting (烤). 3. Even if they are not as healthy as tomatoes or carrots, they’re better than not eating any vegetables at all. Three reasons potatoes should not be called a vegetable 1. If potatoes are considered as veggies, people will think they’re healthy and eat too much of them. 2. Potatoes have some nutrients, but they’re high in carbohydrates (碳水). 3. Harvard nutrition experts advise people to avoid potatoes and choose other vegetables instead. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue.

B Students at a school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline (热线) that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just a few days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour. The hotline offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive (积极的) messages. For example, by pressing 3, you can hear a group of kids saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in these difficult times. “To hear the pure joy from kids is really relaxing,” she says. Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. The project had two parts—one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from Kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else?” Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she divided the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline. Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, tired, or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include: “punch (捶) your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. This includes messages like: “The world is a better place with you in it.” And “You are okay!” Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were hung up around the town. Many posters had strips of paper that people passing by could tear off (撕下) and take with them. For example, one poster said “If you are mad, think of positive thoughts”, and had tear-off strips reminding people to “Be happy”. 29. Why did the students create the hotline? A. To make money for their school. B. To encourage people to cheer up. C. To practice their speaking skills. D. To learn how to use a telephone. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It included a hotline and encouraging posters. B. It asked students to give advice on art learning. C. It was named “PepToc” by artist Asherah Weiss. D. It brought calm to students from different grades. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Martin and her students? A. Creative and helpful. B. Organized and curious. C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了加州一所学校的学生在老师的帮助下创建了一条电话热线，人们可以在困难时期拨打该热线从孩子们那里获得快乐的建议，同时该项目还包括制作鼓励海报，旨在为人们带来平静和积极的信息。 【29题详解】 第一段指出学生创建热线的目的：“created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times”，这直接说明是为了让人们在困难时期获得快乐建议，即鼓励人们振作起来。 【30题详解】 第四段说明项目的组成部分：“The project had two parts—one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters”，因此该项目包括一条热线和鼓励海报。 【31题详解】 全文体现了马丁老师和学生们的创意与助人精神。第一段提到他们创建了热线提供建议，第四段提到他们制作海报挂在镇上帮助路人，这些行为都表明他们是“有创造力和乐于助人的”。 Task Ⅴ Experience unexpected kindness. C Ray was caught up in his thoughts, watching the clouds outside the window. Some of the kids were playing with paper planes, and others just chatting. Their teacher had gone out. And when he returned there was a boy with him. The boy was new. He looked so tired and his clothes were old and dirty. The teacher introduced him to the class, the boy’s name was “Richard”. He went and sat at a nearby seat behind Ray. After class, Ray and his friends were chatting together. They heard the new boy saying that he belonged to a low class family and he was really looking forward to studying hard and getting good marks. This caught the attention of Ray and his friends. So they called out to him “hey new boy, what’s up with your clothes?”. Another called out “didn’t have enough money to buy yourself a proper clothes? Do you have enough money to buy food at least?”, “poor deaarrr!”. Ray and his friends burst out laughing. Richard felt embarrassed (尴尬的) and he went away. The next day the same thing happened, they were laughing at him. During the evening, Ray was taking a walk across the street. He saw Richard was feeding some bread to a dog, which was tied to a pole (柱子) in front of a very dirty old house. The dog was having difficulty in breathing. Richard tried to take away the rope but as it was about to come out, a tall drunk man came out from back. He grabbed (抓住) him around the neck and lifted him upwards. Richard was pleading (乞求) him to leave him alone and that he wouldn’t come again, but the man didn’t put him down. Then suddenly the man was thrown forward and Richard fell. He saw that Ray had kicked the man. Ray lifted Richard up and took the rope from the dog. The dog was so happy and it ran away immediately.

According to the United Nations, enough plastic waste to fill 2, 000 garbage trucks is thrown into waterways such as oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Everest. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times,” she said. “They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Jagiello defines (下定义) the age we’re in now as the period in which human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that influence. New homes Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from enemies, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails. But according to Jagiello’s study, of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing rubbish. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass or metal, such as broken light bulbs or soda cans. Jagiello said that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing trash when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing research. For their study, the researchers scanned the internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. What does it mean? Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have theories (推测). Some sea snail populations are decreasing. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its impressive colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation (适应),” Jagiello said. “What are the long-term consequences (后果) of these adaptations? We don’t know.” 36. What does Jagiello mean by saying “a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times”? A. Hermit crabs prefer light and bright plastic shells. B. All hermit crabs are now forced to live in plastic waste. C. Plastic shells help hermit crabs hide from their enemies better. D. Human activities have caused great changes to the environment. 37. How did Jagiello and her team do their research on hermit crabs? A. By collecting and studying photos of them from the internet. B. By taking lots of photos of them in controlled environments. C. By taking a close look at hermit crabs in their natural habitats. D. By interviewing local people about their findings of hermit crabs. 38. What does the underlined word “decreasing” most probably mean? A. Increasing. B. Dividing. C. Surviving. D. Dropping. 39. What can we learn from Jagiello’s words in the last paragraph? A. She plans to stop hermit crabs from using plastic shells. B. She thinks hermit crabs should not change their habits. C. She is sure that plastic pollution is good for hermit crabs. D. She believes adaptation is amazing but its results are unknown. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Plastic Waste Is Harming Sea Animals B. Hermit Crabs Are in Great Danger Now C. Hermit Crabs Are Turning to Trash for New Homes D. Scientists Photograph Hermit Crabs Living with Trash 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. D 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为壳的现象，分析了可能的原因（海螺数量减少、塑料轻便且颜色鲜艳），并探讨了这一适应行为的意义和未知的长期后果。 【36题详解】 由第四段“Jagiello defines the age we‘re in now as the period in which human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that influence”可知，Jagiello说“寄居蟹在塑料壳里可以成为我们时代的象征”是因为人类活动对环境造成了巨大影响。 【37题详解】 由第七段“For their study, the researchers scanned the internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish”可知，研究人员通过在网上搜索寄居蟹使用垃圾的照片来进行研究。 【38题详解】 由第八段“Some sea snail populations are decreasing. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells”可知，海螺数量“减少”导致寄居蟹找不到足够的贝壳，因此“decreasing”意为“减少/下降”，与Dropping意思相近。 【39题详解】 由最后一段“It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation... What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know”可知，Jagiello认为适应是神奇的，但其长期后果未知。 【40题详解】 全文围绕寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为新“家”这一现象展开，因此最佳标题为“Hermit Crabs Are Turning to Trash for New Homes”。 非选择题(共50分) 四、填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) Ⅶ Let’s step into the exciting world of the robot-human half-marathon!

Abing’s music tells us about his sad but strong life, and it still touches people’s hearts today. 【答案】46. mine 47. cry 48. musician 49. Sadly 50. the most famous 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者听了《二泉映月》后，了解到的关于中国著名民间音乐家阿炳充满艰辛但坚强的一生。 【46题详解】 句意：昨晚，我的一个朋友带我去听了一场中国民间音乐会。此处表示“我的一个朋友”，应用双重所有格结构“a friend of + 名词性物主代词”，括号中my的名词性物主代词为mine。故填mine。 【47题详解】 句意：用二胡演奏的《二泉映月》这首曲子让我几乎要哭出来。make sb. do sth. 意为“使某人做某事”，make为使役动词，其后需接省略to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填cry。 【48题详解】 句意：阿炳是一位著名的中国民间音乐家。设空处被形容词 famous Chinese folk 修饰，作表语，且结合语境可知此处指代阿炳这个人，应用名词musician，意为“音乐家”；前面有不定冠词a修饰，故使用单数形式。故填musician。 【49题详解】 句意：令人悲伤的是，阿炳在34岁时失明了。设空处位于句首，用逗号与后面的主句隔开，作状语修饰整个句子，应用副词sadly，意为“令人悲伤地”，且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Sadly。 【50题详解】 句意：他创作了许多优美的曲子，最著名的一首是《二泉映月》。根据语境可知，此处表示在他创作的众多曲子中“最著名的”一首，表示三者或三者以上的比较，应用形容词最高级，famous的最高级为the most famous。故填the most famous。 Ⅸ Let’s feel the pride of Chinese culture reaching the world! C． 请阅读下面对话，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空(方框中有一个单词或短语是多余选项)，使对话内容完整正确。 understand abroad spread amazing first more than Su Hua: Hi, Li Jiang! Did you see the BBC documentary on CCTV 9 last week? Li Jiang: You mean Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet? Yes, I did. Fantastic! His poems are ____51____ just beautiful words — they’re a window into the spirit of a nation. Su Hua: Just think an English actor recites (朗诵) Chinese poems. Li Jiang: I don’t really ____52____ every line he recites, but I believe he truly loves the poems himself. Su Hua: Right. It is reported that the film is well received outside China. Li Jiang: Yeah. It’s my ____53____ time to hear Chinese stories told by an English speaker. Su Hua: In fact, documentaries about our country are plentiful both at home and ____54____. These films can help foreign friends better understand this land, Chinese literature, geography, history and food. Li Jiang: I couldn’t agree more. It’s ____55____ how literature can bridge cultures and time periods. I think this documentary is a great example of how we can share our cultural heritage with the world in a way. 【答案】51. more than 52. understand 53. first 54. abroad 55. amazing 【解析】 【导语】本文通过一段对话，围绕BBC纪录片《杜甫：中国最伟大的诗人》展开，探讨了中国诗词、文化传播与中外文化交流的相关内容。 【51题详解】 后文提到诗歌是窥见民族精神的窗口，说明诗歌不仅仅是优美文字，结合方框词，more than符合语境。 【52题详解】 根据后半句“但我相信他自己真心热爱这些诗歌”，可推断前半句表示“我并不能真正理解每一行诗句”，understand符合句意。 【53题详解】 固定搭配“first time” 表示“第一次”，此处指第一次听外国人讲述中国故事，故填first。 【54题详解】 固定短语“at home and abroad” 意为“国内外”，用来描述介绍本国的纪录片数量众多，因此填abroad。 【55题详解】 后文感慨文学能够跨越文化与时代，这是一件令人惊叹的事，amazing表达赞叹的语气，符合语境。 五、阅读填空(共 19 小题;满分 20 分) Ⅹ Let’s explore the surprising partnerships in the natural world! A． 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第1~8小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第9小题。注意：第1~8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 Have you ever watched a show about the wild? A shark eats a seal! Lions run down a gazelle! Is all nature like that? All about eating and blood? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some living things that work with each other instead of ripping each other apart. When a lion kills a gazelle, it wants to eat as much as it can and maybe share the rest with its family. There are some living things that will take small pieces of another living thing’s body. Parasitism (寄生) is when one living thing gets its energy from another living thing, does not give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things from. Now let’s get a little nicer. Sometimes a living thing will live off the body of another living thing without hurting it. They do not steal anything. They do not bite. Commensalism (共生) is when two living things live together and one gets good things out of it while the other is not hurt by it. Have you seen a picture of a whale (鲸) with rocky white things stuck to its skin? Those are barnacles (藤壶). They attach themselves to the whale, so nothing will try to eat them and they can eat things that float by. Now let’s get really nice. While sharks are biting and lions are fighting, are there any animals that just get along? Yes! Actually, there are many. Mutualism (互利共生) is when two living things work together and both get good things out of it. Bees and flowers are the most common example. Without flowers, bees could not make honey. Without bees, flowers could not make new seeds. It’s win-win for these two. There are lots of animals that get along. Birds will live on the backs of zebras and eat the ticks that are drinking the zebras’ blood. The bird gets food. The zebra gets its ticks taken away. In some of these cases, one animal could not live without the other. We use the word “Symbiotic (共生的)” for all of these kinds of relationships. Sometimes it’s good for one and bad for the other. Sometimes it’s just good for one. Sometimes it’s even good for both. So, it is nice to know that there are some living things out there that are finding ways to live together. We could pay attention to the animals that do not always make it on TV. Nature’s Amazing Partnerships What is Symbiosis?  All living things in nature are ____56____ with each other.  Close relationships between different species in nature are called Symbiosis. Parasitism: One Gets, One Hurts  One living thing gets food from the other one and does ____57____ to it .  It only gains for itself and offers ____58____ in return. Example: Ticks & dogs Commensalism: One Wins, One Doesn’t ____59____  Two living things live closely together.  One side gains advantages, while the other one is neither harmed nor helped. Example: Barnacles & ____60____ Mutualism: Win-Win for Both  It’s a win-win situation for both sides; they can even ____61____ on each other to live.  Two living things ____62____ each other and both get benefits from the partnership. Examples: Bees & Flowers; Birds & Zebras Why Does Symbiosis Matter? Symbiotic relationships help keep ecosystems in ____63____. Your idea: Share one example from your own life experience based on symbiotic relationships from the passage in at least 20 words. ____________________________________________64____________________________________________ 【答案】56. connected 57. harm 58. nothing 59. hurt 60. whales 61. depend 62. help 63. balance 64. In my life, I keep a pet dog. I give it food and care, and it gives me companionship and safety. This is like mutualism described in the passage. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了自然界中三种共生关系，分别是寄生、共生和互利共生，并说明了它们的特点与意义。 【56题详解】 文章第一“Let’s look at some living things who work with each other instead of ripping each other apart.”指出，自然界中的生物彼此相互联系，因此第一空填入“connected”。 【57题详解】 文章第二段“Parasitism is when one living thing gets its energy from another living thing, does not give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things from.”指出，寄生关系中一方会伤害另一方，因此第二空填入“harm”。 【58题详解】 文章第二段“Parasitism is when one living thing gets its energy from another living thing, does not give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things from.”指出，寄生关系中一方只获取不回报，因此第三空填入“nothing”。 【59题详解】 文章第三段“Sometimes a living thing will live off the body of another living thing without hurting it.”指出，共生关系中一方不会伤害另一方，因此第四空填入“hurt”。 【60题详解】 文章第三段句“Have you seen a picture of a whale with rocky white things stuck to its skin? Those are barnacles.”指出，藤壶附着在鲸鱼身上，因此第五空填入“whales”。 【61题详解】 文章第四段“In some of these cases, one animal could not live without the other.”指出，互利共生的双方相互依存，因此第六空填入“depend”。 【62题详解】 文章第四段“Mutualism is when two living things work together and both get good things out of it.”指出，互利共生的双方互相帮助，因此第七空填入“help”。 【63题详解】 文章最后一段“Sometimes it’s good for one and bad for the other. Sometimes it’s just good for one. Sometimes it’s even good for both. So, it is nice to know that there are some living things out there that are finding ways to live together.”指出，自然界中不同生物通过多样的共生关系找到共同生存的方式，这些关系相互配合、相互影响，使生态系统保持稳定与平衡，因此第八空填入“balance”。 【64题详解】 开放性试题，结合生活中的互利共生例子进行阐述，例如和自己的宠物互利共生的关系，保证字数在20词以上即可，答案不唯一。 Ⅺ Let’s talk with history with the help of AI!
