D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述男孩Tim安慰因花未开而悲伤的老人。Tim告诉老人享受种植过程，老人深受感动，不再悲伤，重拾希望。 【1题详解】 句意：一天，当他正在公园里玩耍时，他看见一位老人难过地坐在椅子上。 while引导时间状语从句，强调过去某个时间正在进行的动作，需用过去进行时was playing；plays一般现在时、will play一般将来时、is playing现在进行时，时态均不符合语境。 【2题详解】 句意：Tim走向这位老人问道：“您好，先生。您为什么看起来这么难过？” 此处老人是前文已经提到过的人，表特指，用定冠词the；a/an表泛指，不符合语境。 【3题详解】 句意：我去年春天种了一株漂亮的花，但是它至今还没开花。 前半句种花，后半句花未开放，前后为转折关系，用but。and表并列，or表选择，so表因果，逻辑均不通。 【4题详解】 句意：别担心，先生，花需要时间生长。 固定搭配need time to do sth.表示“需要时间做某事”，此处用to grow；grow原形、test/to test词义与结构均不符。 【5题详解】 句意：你真是个善良的男孩。 修饰名词boy需用形容词，Tim主动安慰老人，体现善良，kind符合；active活跃的，语义不符；actively/kindly为副词，不能修饰名词。 【6题详解】 句意：先生，您种花是为了欣赏它的美，对吧？ 修饰名词beauty，需用形容词性物主代词，指代花，用its；it为主格/宾格，they/their指代复数，均不符合。 【7题详解】 句意：即使你没看到它开花，你也享受了种植的过程。 even if引导让步状语从句，主语为you，一般现在时否定形式用don’t see；saw为过去式，否定形式结构错误。 【8题详解】 句意：他意识到自己太在意结果，却忘记了旅途的快乐。 根据后文“忘记过程的快乐”，前后对比，此处指关注result（结果）；list清单，语义不符；result’s/list’s为所有格，结构错误。 【9题详解】 句意：“你说得对，小男孩。”他带着灿烂的笑容说道。 固定搭配with a big smile表示“带着微笑”，作伴随状语；about/for/from均无此用法。 【10题详解】 句意：他相信总有一天会开出美丽的花。 there be句型的一般将来时为there will be，will后接动词原形be；is/are/am不能跟在will后。 第二节：阅读下面短文，理解大意，然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。 David worked as an editor.

Here is the information sheet they have made. Part 1: Facts The Great Lakes—Ontario, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Superior—are five freshwater giants. They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces. Part 2: Comparison ●Lake Ontario This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams (大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic. ●Lake Huron This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island. ●Lake Michigan It is joined to Lake Huron by the five-mile-wide Straits (海峡) of Mackinac, though they are still classed as two separate bodies. ●Lake Erie With a depth of 64 metres, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others. ●Lake Superior At 406 metres deep, the distance from the lake’s surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches. Part 3: Covering an area of 94,250 square miles, these huge bodies of water take up more than one-fifth of the world’s total freshwater. The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment. 29. Alex draws a map of the Great Lakes. Which number stands for Lake Ontario? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 30. Alex wants to try ice fishing as early as possible. Which lake will he most probably choose? A. Lake Superior. B. Lake Erie. C. Lake Michigan. D. Lake Huron. 31. Alex finds something missing in Part 3. Which of the following will he put in the empty box? A. Value. B. Change. C. Protection. D. Development. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了五大湖的基本事实、湖泊间的对比以及它们的价值。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams (大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.”可知，这个湖的表面积最小，只有7336平方英里。三座水坝控制着下游的水流，并设有水闸，使船只可以从大西洋进入，故根据地图中标注的湖泊面积大小关系和三座水坝可知，面积最小的湖泊对应数字④。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“●Lake Erie; With a depth of 64 metres, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.”可知，Lake Erie结冰最早，适合最早尝试冰钓。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment.”可知，五大湖为4000多万人提供饮用水，为800多艘远洋船只提供重要的航运路线，并为渔业和农业保持了丰富的生态系统。它们还支持野生动物、国家经济和环境，这应是其“价值”。故选A。 C Many people love traveling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. ① ________ Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without knowing the customs when people first meet. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards, but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket. ② ________ In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in China, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. ③ ________ In restaurants in China, you can leave a bit of food on your plate. It’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia — that’s too bad. ④ ________ When you are traveling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries, or you might just decide to stay at home! But anyway, wherever you go, please remember, you should respect the local customs and try to get used to the life there. 32. What is the theme of the passage? A. Friends. B. Plans. C. Customs. D.

They can also help us understand the local culture much ____55____. 【答案】46. interested 47. examples 48. commonly 49. powerful 50. their 51. cultural 52. wise 53. means 54. avoid 55. better 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了不同文化中动物象征意义的差异，以狮子、老虎和猫头鹰为例，分别阐述了它们在中西方文化中的不同寓意，指出了解这些文化差异有助于避免误解、更好地理解当地文化。 【46题详解】 句意：你对了解这些差异感兴趣吗？空格处需要填一个形容词作表语，构成系表结构。结合语境，此处询问对方是否对文化差异感兴趣，“be interested in”表示“对……感兴趣”，方框中的“interest”是名词/动词，其形容词形式“interested”专门用来描述人“感兴趣的”状态，符合句意，故填“interested”。 【47题详解】 句意：这里有两个典型的例子。空格处需要填一个名词作表语，前面有数量词“two”修饰，说明要用名词复数形式。结合上下文，下文会具体举狮子、老虎和猫头鹰的例子，方框中的“example”是可数名词，意为“例子”，其复数形式“examples”符合“两个例子”的语境，故填“examples”。 【48题详解】 句意：在几乎所有说英语的国家，狮子通常被视为“百兽之王”。空格处需要填一个副词修饰动词“seen”，说明动作发生的频率。结合常识，狮子在英语国家普遍被当作百兽之王，方框中的“common”是形容词，意为“普遍的”，其副词形式“commonly”表示 “通常地、普遍地”，能够准确修饰被动语态中的动词“seen”，符合句意，故填“commonly”。 【49题详解】 句意：它总是与那些勇敢、强大且强壮的人联系在一起。空格处需要填一个形容词，与前后的“brave”（勇敢的）、“strong”（强壮的）并列，共同作定语修饰名词“people”，描述人的品质。结合语境，狮子象征着力量，方框中的“power”是名词，意为“力量”，其形容词形式“powerful”表示 “强大的、有力量的”，与另外两个形容词语义并列，符合句意，故填“powerful”。 【50题详解】 句意：英国人甚至用狮子作为他们国家的象征。空格处需要填一个形容词性物主代词修饰名词“nation”，表明所属关系。结合语境，此处指“英国人的国家”，方框中的“they”是主格代词，其形容词性物主代词“their”表示 “他们的”，能够准确指代英国人的，符合句意，故填“their”。 【51题详解】 句意：因此，老虎在中国承载着勇敢、力量和强壮的文化意义。空格处需要填一个形容词修饰名词“meanings”，说明意义的属性。结合全文主题，本文讲的是不同文化中动物的象征意义，方框中的“culture”是名词，意为“文化”，其形容词形式“cultural”表示“文化的”，能够准确修饰“meanings”，说明是文化层面的意义，符合句意，故填“cultural”。 【52题详解】 句意：例如，他们经常在文章和日常对话中使用“像猫头鹰一样聪明”。空格处需要填一个形容词，构成“as + 形容词原级 + as”的比较结构。结合常识，西方文化中猫头鹰象征智慧，“as wise as an owl”是英语中的固定习语，表示“像猫头鹰一样聪明”，方框中的“wise”是形容词，意为“聪明的、有智慧的”，完全符合这个固定搭配和语境，故填“wise”。 【53题详解】 句意：但在中国，听到猫头鹰的叫声意味着坏事可能很快就要发生。空格处需要填一个动词作谓语，本句描述的是中国文化中的普遍认知，属于客观事实，要用一般现在时。句子的主语是动名词短语“hearing the sound of an owl”，动名词短语作主语时，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。方框中的“mean”是动词，意为 “意味着”，其第三人称单数形式“means”符合语法规则和语境，故填“means”。 【54题详解】 句意：了解这些差异可以帮助我们避免一些误解。空格处需要填一个动词作宾语补足语，“help sb. do sth.”是固定搭配，表示“帮助某人做某事”，此处要用动词原形。结合语境，了解文化差异的作用是防止产生误解，方框中的“avoid”是动词原形，意为“避免”，符合“帮助我们避免误解”的句意，故填“avoid”。 【55题详解】 句意：它们也能帮助我们更好地理解当地文化。空格处需要填一个副词比较级修饰动词“understand”，说明理解的程度。前面的“much”是用来修饰比较级的标志词，方框中的“well”是副词原级，意为“好地”，其比较级“better”表示 “更好地”，能够准确说明了解文化差异后对当地文化的理解程度会提升，符合句意，故填“better”。 VII．任务型阅读。（共5小题，计5分） 阅读下面的语篇材料，完成下列各题。 Storms can be dangerous, but with the right preparation, we can protect ourselves and our families.

Part 3 After the Storm: Check for damage—Look for fallen trees, broken glass, or downed power lines. Help others—If neighbors need help, offer help if it’s safe.

Why not communicate with him?/Why don’t you communicate with him?/How about communicating with him?/What about communicating with him? 65. You’re welcome./My pleasure./That’s all right./Not at all. 【解析】 【导语】本文是A、B两个人的对话，A和B谈论了做家务以及和家人的矛盾。 【61题详解】 根据下文“Oh, I was doing the dishes at that time last night.”及问号可知，此处是在询问“你（那时）在做什么?”，答语为过去进行时，问句也要用过去进行时。故填What were you doing?/What were you doing at that time? 【62题详解】 根据上文“My mom didn’t feel well”和下文“She had a backache.”以及问号可知，此处是在询问“你妈妈怎么了?”，What’s the matter with sb.?= What’s wrong with sb.?表示“……怎么了?”，且上下文都为一般过去时，此处也要用一般过去时。故填What was the matter with your mother?/What was wrong with your mother? 【63题详解】 根据句号可知，此处是一个陈述句，再由上文可知B帮妈妈做家务了，由此可推断对于A所说的话“Yeah, we should share some chores at home.

Part 1: Facts The Great Lakes—Ontario, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Superior—are five freshwater giants. They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces. Part 2: Comparison ●Lake Ontario This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams (大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic. ●Lake Huron This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island. ●Lake Michigan It is joined to Lake Huron by the five-mile-wide Straits (海峡) of Mackinac, though they are still classed as two separate bodies. ●Lake Erie With a depth of 64 metres, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others. ●Lake Superior At 406 metres deep, the distance from the lake’s surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches. Part 3: Covering an area of 94,250 square miles, these huge bodies of water take up more than one-fifth of the world’s total freshwater. The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment. 29. Alex draws a map of the Great Lakes. Which number stands for Lake Ontario? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 30. Alex wants to try ice fishing as early as possible. Which lake will he most probably choose? A. Lake Superior. B. Lake Erie. C. Lake Michigan. D. Lake Huron. 31.

C Many people love traveling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. ① ________ Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without knowing the customs when people first meet. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards, but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket. ② ________ In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in China, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. ③ ________ In restaurants in China, you can leave a bit of food on your plate. It’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia — that’s too bad. ④ ________ When you are traveling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries, or you might just decide to stay at home! But anyway, wherever you go, please remember, you should respect the local customs and try to get used to the life there. 32. What is the theme of the passage? A. Friends. B. Plans. C. Customs. D. Feelings. 33. Match the title with each paragraph (Paragraph 2-Paragraph 5). a. Eye contact. b. Visiting a family. c. Meeting new friends. d. While talking. e. Shaking hands. f. Table manners.

In the USA, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk. C. In India, people eat with their left hands. D. In Arabia, we can admire something valuable in people’s home. 35.
