As president of the recycling club, Scott was thinking about new activities to encourage other students to become more enthusiastic (热心的) about recycling. His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years and he hoped that this year they would do even better. Scott went home one day and looked online, hoping to find ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for not noticing this problem sooner. At that moment, he began to develop a plan. “There is a special project I want us to work on this term,” Scott announced (宣布) at the recycling club meeting the next day. “We have all heard about e-waste, but recently I learned about the bad effects it’s having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive — a day when students and their families could drop off unwanted electronics to be recycled. “Now let’s get to work!” For several weeks, the recycling club was busy preparing for the upcoming e-waste drive, or e-drive as it was soon called. The big day finally arrived, and Scott was nervous. He and the other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Everyone waited eagerly, hoping that students of the school would take part in the event. It wasn’t long before the first cars pulled into the school parking lot. After a while, more people arrived. Phones, TV sets, computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积). At the end of the event, Scott heard someone suggest that the school should have an e-drive event every term. Scott smiled, realizing that a simple action could truly have a lasting influence. 4. What did Scott learn during his research online? A. Students are enthusiastic about recycling. B. There is a lot of waste recycled every year. C. The amount of e-waste is increasing rapidly. 5. How long has the recycling club helped recycle waste? A. For three years. B. For four years. C. For five years. 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The e-drive was very successful. B. Few people came to the e-drive. C. Scott didn’t care about the environment. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The recycling club has helped recycle a lot of waste for five years. B. Scott started an e-waste drive to deal with the growing e-waste problem. C. The school will hold more recycling activities in the coming year. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Scott制定电子产品回收计划的执行过程以及它所产生的积极作用。 【4题详解】 根据第二段第二句“During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly.”可知，Scott在网上研究时了解到电子垃圾的数量正在迅速增加。 【5题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years”可知，该回收俱乐部帮助回收废物已经五年了。 【6题详解】 根据最后两段内容可知，活动当天很多人送来电子垃圾，活动结束后还有人建议每学期都办这个活动，由此可推测出，这次活动参与度很高且效果良好，说明活动非常成功。 【7题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Scott作为回收俱乐部主席，发现电子垃圾增长的问题后，策划并组织了一次电子垃圾回收活动来解决这一问题，只有B项最能概括文章主要内容。 C ①Sports might have started as a way to survive. Long ago, people ran, jumped, and climbed to stay alive. Hunters were known for their special skills. Wall paintings from centuries ago, showing activities like wrestling or dancing, were found in an Egyptian tomb. The ancient Greeks made a big change by holding the first Olympic Games. ②Modern sports began in England in the early 19th century and then spread globally. These became the models for sports such as football that we play now. ③Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Organized sports, whether swimming or ice hockey, are serious forms of play. There are rules to obey, skills and positions to learn, and plans to carry out. Team sports like soccer require you to work with teammates, while individual (个人的) sports such as tennis focus on your personal performance. ④There’s no doubt that sports are valuable. The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for kids’ and teens’ thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. Sports exercise our bodies and teach us about ourselves and our world. Organized sports get us using our bodies and minds, which makes us more imaginative, curious, and creative. The skills we learn can help us in school and later at work. ⑤In an ideal world, sports would always be fun. But in reality, sports can cause physical hurt like broken bones, and also harm in mind. In team sports, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Sports are supposed to bring people together, but they can also drive people apart. But even when they’re not always a cheerful experience, they show us how to face life’s challenges. ⑥You don’t have to be on a school team. But many, like school coaches, have found ways to make play their work, which makes them feel whole. ⑦There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. No matter what sport you choose, the key is to play for fun. When you do, you’re already a winner. 8. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. The first Olympic Games were held in Egypt. B. Modern sports began in the early 19th century in England. C. Individual sports like tennis require teamwork with others. 9. What does the American Academy of Pediatrics say about play for kids and teens? A. It is only important for their physical health. B. It helps develop their thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. C. It can take the place of school learning completely. 10. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③/④⑤/⑥⑦ B. ①②③/④/⑤⑥/⑦ C. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ 11. What is the writer’s opinion about sports? A. Sports are only fun when you win the game. B. Playing sports just for fun is the most important thing. C. Organized sports are more important than individual sports. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了体育运动的起源、发展、类型、价值以及其带来的利弊，强调无论选择何种运动，关键是享受乐趣。 【8题详解】 根据第二段首句“Modern sports began in England in the early 19th century and then spread globally.”可知，现代体育始于19世纪早期的英国，A项错误；根据第一段最后一句“The ancient Greeks made a big change by holding the first Olympic Games.”可知，奥运会是古希腊人举办的，C项错误；根据第三段最后一句“...individual (个人的) sports such as tennis focus on your personal performance.”可知，个人运动如网球注重个人表现，不需要团队合作，B项正确。 【9题详解】 根据第四段第二句“The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for kids’ and teens’ thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings.”可知，美国儿科学会认为玩耍对青少年的思维、身体、社交生活和情感都很重要。 【10题详解】 通读全文，第一段和第二段主要讲述体育的起源和历史发展；第三段讲述体育的种类和形式；第四段和第五段辩证地讲述了体育的价值及现实中的利弊；第六段和第七段总结全文并提出建议，强调乐趣的重要性。因此结构划分为①②/③/④⑤/⑥⑦最为合理。 【11题详解】 根据最后一段第二句“No matter what sport you choose, the key is to play for fun. When you do, you’re already a winner.”可知，作者认为无论选择什么运动，关键是享受乐趣。 D Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a diving machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing, everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 12. Why does the writer use many numbers in the first paragraph? A. To prove oceans take up most space on Earth. B. To show human knowledge of oceans is limited. C. To introduce different kinds of sea creatures. 13. What made people change their opinions about deep-sea exploration? A. The discovery of deep-sea living things. B. The invention of early submarines. C. The wide use of modern satellites. 14. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. 15. What will the writer probably talk about in the next paragraph? A. How forests create oxygen for humans. B. Serious pollution problems on land. C. Practical ways to further explore deep oceans. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人类对深海了解有限的原因、深海探索技术的发展历程，以及探索深海的重要意义。 【12题详解】 第一段指出数据“Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered.”这直接说明人类对海洋的了解非常有限，大量海底区域和海洋生物尚未被发现。 【13题详解】 第二段说明原因“However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a diving machine.”，并以“around 4,700 species unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered”为例，因此深海生物的发现改变了人们对深海探索的看法。 【14题详解】 最后一段指出“Though we have the difficulties, it's important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth's temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O₂) in the air.”说明“They”指代的是“the seas”，即海洋帮助调节地球温度并产生氧气。 【15题详解】 最后一段指出“Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.”说明作者接下来可能会讨论进一步探索深海的实际方法。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 The colorful clothes we wear these days are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? ____16____ More than 1,000 years ago, the Bai ethnic group in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, this technique became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. ____17____ To tie-dye, you need to first use thread, rope or other tools to tie, sew, or clip your cloth together. ____18____ The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. ____19____ People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes. At Dior’s spring show in 2019, Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri surprised people with a series of tie-dyed dresses. “____20____” Chiuri said. “Its creative process is a sort of ‘unpredictable performance’, right until the very end. It’s a surprise, a spectacle.” It seems that the tie-dye trend has never really gone away. A. In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US. B. The folded cloth is then put in dye. C. Tie-dye was a way to do this. D. Tie-dye patterns are always the same no matter how you do them. E. By that time, tie-dye was no longer just a folk craft, but a symbol of good taste and cultural elegance. F. Tie-dye is like an experimentation. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了扎染这一传统技艺的历史渊源、制作工艺流程以及在现代时尚中的发展与传承。 【16题详解】 第一段提出问题：“what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful?”，需要一个回答此问题的句子。C选项“Tie-dye was a way to do this”直接回答了古代人如何穿上彩色衣服，this指代前文wear something colorful。 【17题详解】 第三段讲唐宋时期扎染成为送礼佳品，已超越民间工艺层面。E选项“By that time, tie-dye was no longer just a folk craft, but a symbol of good taste and cultural elegance”承接上文，说明扎染地位的提升，与送皇帝为礼物的语境吻合。 【18题详解】 第四段介绍扎染步骤：先用线绳扎紧布料，空格后讲“白族用植物制作蓝色染料”。B选项“The folded cloth is then put in dye”承接扎布之后的下一步——放入染料中，逻辑连贯。 【19题详解】 第五段后文讲“People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans...Many children in the US still learn tie-dye”，描述美国人玩扎染的场景。A选项“In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US”引出美国扎染热潮，与后文内容衔接。 【20题详解】 后文Chiuri说“Its creative process is a sort of ‘unpredictable performance’...It’s a surprise”，强调不可预测性和惊喜感。F选项“Tie-dye is like an experimentation”直接对应“experimentation”与“unpredictable”，引出下文设计师的评价。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At Uppingham School, there is a program called the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

For most people in the US, this might be the deepest look they ever get at Chinese culture. One time, it led to laughs when we learned that my aunt is a Rat. We laughed because in our culture, rats are animals of very low status (地位). They eat garbage and carry diseases, so we think they are dirty. Because rats are sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的), we think of them as untrustworthy. Calling someone a rat is a serious insult (侮辱). It means he or she will betray (背叛) your trust. As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people born in the Year of the Rat. I wondered if Chinese children were ever bullied for their zodiac signs. Probably not! Human culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the same thing. I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the zodiac for a reason. According to what I found, rats are considered thrifty (勤俭的) and practical by Chinese people. These are qualities that can bring people wealth. They are also very fertile, which makes them a symbol of good luck—traditionally, Chinese people prefer to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to have intelligence as well. That makes sense. Sneaky animals must be clever. Like every coin, everything has two sides. This means ________. Perhaps I need to find a new understanding for other things—animals, ideas or even people! 41. In the author’s family, who was born in the Year of the Rat? ___________________________ 42. What does it mean when someone is called a rat? ___________________________ 43. According to Paragraph 5, what positive qualities do rats have in Chinese culture? ___________________________ 44. Complete the sentence in the last Paragraph with proper words. ___________________________ 45. Which Chinese zodiac animal do you like best? Why? ___________________________ 【答案】41. The author’s aunt. 42. It means he or she will betray your trust. 43. They are thrifty, practical, fertile and intelligent. 44. everything has advantages and disadvantages 45. I like the Dragon best because it is a symbol of power. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过对比美国和中国文化中对“鼠”这一生肖的不同看法，阐述了事物都有两面性的道理，倡导用新的视角理解文化差异。 【41题详解】 根据第一段“One time, it led to laughs when we learned that my aunt is a Rat.”可知，作者的阿姨属鼠。 【42题详解】 根据第二段“It means he or she will betray (背叛) your trust.”可推知，被称为老鼠意味着背叛信任。 【43题详解】 根据第五段“According to what I found, rats are considered thrifty (勤俭的) and practical by Chinese people...

As president of the recycling club, Scott was thinking about new activities to encourage other students to become more enthusiastic (热心的) about recycling. His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years and he hoped that this year they would do even better. Scott went home one day and looked online, hoping to find ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for not noticing this problem sooner. At that moment, he began to develop a plan. “There is a special project I want us to work on this term,” Scott announced (宣布) at the recycling club meeting the next day. “We have all heard about e-waste, but recently I learned about the bad effects it’s having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive — a day when students and their families could drop off unwanted electronics to be recycled. “Now let’s get to work!” For several weeks, the recycling club was busy preparing for the upcoming e-waste drive, or e-drive as it was soon called. The big day finally arrived, and Scott was nervous. He and the other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Everyone waited eagerly, hoping that students of the school would take part in the event. It wasn’t long before the first cars pulled into the school parking lot. After a while, more people arrived. Phones, TV sets, computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积). At the end of the event, Scott heard someone suggest that the school should have an e-drive event every term. Scott smiled, realizing that a simple action could truly have a lasting influence. 4. What did Scott learn during his research online? A. Students are enthusiastic about recycling. B. There is a lot of waste recycled every year. C. The amount of e-waste is increasing rapidly. 5. How long has the recycling club helped recycle waste? A. For three years. B. For four years. C. For five years. 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The e-drive was very successful. B. Few people came to the e-drive. C. Scott didn’t care about the environment. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The recycling club has helped recycle a lot of waste for five years. B. Scott started an e-waste drive to deal with the growing e-waste problem. C. The school will hold more recycling activities in the coming year. C ①Sports might have started as a way to survive. Long ago, people ran, jumped, and climbed to stay alive. Hunters were known for their special skills. Wall paintings from centuries ago, showing activities like wrestling or dancing, were found in an Egyptian tomb. The ancient Greeks made a big change by holding the first Olympic Games. ②Modern sports began in England in the early 19th century and then spread globally. These became the models for sports such as football that we play now. ③Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Organized sports, whether swimming or ice hockey, are serious forms of play. There are rules to obey, skills and positions to learn, and plans to carry out. Team sports like soccer require you to work with teammates, while individual (个人的) sports such as tennis focus on your personal performance. ④There’s no doubt that sports are valuable. The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for kids’ and teens’ thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. Sports exercise our bodies and teach us about ourselves and our world. Organized sports get us using our bodies and minds, which makes us more imaginative, curious, and creative. The skills we learn can help us in school and later at work. ⑤In an ideal world, sports would always be fun. But in reality, sports can cause physical hurt like broken bones, and also harm in mind. In team sports, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Sports are supposed to bring people together, but they can also drive people apart. But even when they’re not always a cheerful experience, they show us how to face life’s challenges. ⑥You don’t have to be on a school team. But many, like school coaches, have found ways to make play their work, which makes them feel whole. ⑦There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. No matter what sport you choose, the key is to play for fun. When you do, you’re already a winner. 8. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. The first Olympic Games were held in Egypt. B. Modern sports began in the early 19th century in England. C. Individual sports like tennis require teamwork with others. 9. What does the American Academy of Pediatrics say about play for kids and teens? A. It is only important for their physical health. B. It helps develop their thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. C. It can take the place of school learning completely. 10. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③/④⑤/⑥⑦ B. ①②③/④/⑤⑥/⑦ C. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ 11. What is the writer’s opinion about sports? A. Sports are only fun when you win the game. B. Playing sports just for fun is the most important thing. C. Organized sports are more important than individual sports. D Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a diving machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing, everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 12. Why does the writer use many numbers in the first paragraph? A. To prove oceans take up most space on Earth. B. To show human knowledge of oceans is limited. C. To introduce different kinds of sea creatures. 13. What made people change their opinions about deep-sea exploration? A. The discovery of deep-sea living things. B. The invention of early submarines. C. The wide use of modern satellites. 14. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. 15. What will the writer probably talk about in the next paragraph? A. How forests create oxygen for humans. B. Serious pollution problems on land. C. Practical ways to further explore deep oceans. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 The colorful clothes we wear these days are made by machines.

For most people in the US, this might be the deepest look they ever get at Chinese culture. One time, it led to laughs when we learned that my aunt is a Rat. We laughed because in our culture, rats are animals of very low status (地位). They eat garbage and carry diseases, so we think they are dirty. Because rats are sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的), we think of them as untrustworthy. Calling someone a rat is a serious insult (侮辱). It means he or she will betray (背叛) your trust. As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people born in the Year of the Rat. I wondered if Chinese children were ever bullied for their zodiac signs. Probably not! Human culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the same thing. I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the zodiac for a reason. According to what I found, rats are considered thrifty (勤俭的) and practical by Chinese people. These are qualities that can bring people wealth. They are also very fertile, which makes them a symbol of good luck—traditionally, Chinese people prefer to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to have intelligence as well. That makes sense. Sneaky animals must be clever. Like every coin, everything has two sides. This means ________. Perhaps I need to find a new understanding for other things—animals, ideas or even people! 41. In the author’s family, who was born in the Year of the Rat? ___________________________ 42. What does it mean when someone is called a rat? ___________________________ 43. According to Paragraph 5, what positive qualities do rats have in Chinese culture? ___________________________ 44. Complete the sentence in the last Paragraph with proper words. ___________________________ 45. Which Chinese zodiac animal do you like best? Why? ___________________________ 第二节（满分20分） 46. 假如你是李华，学校英文校报正在举办主题为“Mistakes — Steps towards Success”的征文讨论活动，请你以此为题写一篇英语短文进行投稿。内容包括： 1．谈谈你对“Mistakes — Steps towards Success”这句话的理解，明确表达自己的观点； 2．结合自身真实经历（如学习、生活、兴趣培养等方面），讲述一次你犯错、正视错误、从错误中学习并获得进步的具体事例，体现错误带来的成长； 3．呼吁大家正确对待错误，在错误中积累经验，逐步走向成功。 注意： 1．词数80-100，题目已给出，不计入总词数； 2．短文必须包括提示中的信息，可适当发挥； 3．文中不得出现真实人名、校名等相关信息。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
