Back then, many African Americans worked as slaves (奴隶) in the U.S. While working in the fields, they often sang songs called “the blues.” It is sad and 1 at the same time. For those poor slaves, the blues are their way to show pain and wish for a better life. When they sang, each person could add their own feelings. Singers or musicians didn’t write down the songs with notes and lyrics. 2 , they just learned the melody and performed them with personal understanding. This special way of creating music is called improvising (即兴创作). Jazz first became popular in New Orleans. Later, 3 and a new invention called “record” allowed jazz to reach people all over the country. A lot of African Americans worked on trains and traveled to different places. They told everyone about this exciting new music. They even 4 the records so people could actually listen to jazz. Americans of all races (种族) enjoyed jazz, but at first white musicians and black musicians usually did not play together in the same band. Things began to change in the 1930s. A white band leader named Benny Goodman 5 a black pianist a job in his band. Benny believed that music had no color and talent was more important. Many people agreed with him. They realized that it was 6 to keep white musicians away from black musicians.

People can book a shared piano room 1 the WeChat mini-programme called “琴小站”. The rooms are available 24 hours a day. Each room is about 4 m2 in size. There’s a piano and a few pieces of art hanging on the walls. Many people want to play the piano in the room. However, it’s not easy for people to book a room on 2 , let alone (更不用说) on weekends. Ms Cheng was very glad when she booked a room successfully. She often played the piano when she was young. 3 now she can hardly find the time to play because of her busy work. However, these shared piano rooms helped her find her love for playing again. She now 4 the rooms twice a week and practices playing the piano there. Ms Cheng thought these piano rooms were very useful. “The pianos are free to use. If children want to learn to play the piano, they can have a try in the room first. After all, the 5 of a piano is really high for many families,” she said. The foreign musician Anglo Castagneto also 6 the idea. He said, “Playing the piano in the room helps me relax after a day’s work. Music plays an important part in our life. These piano rooms make people’s cultural life rich and colorful.” 1．A．through B．during C．without D．behind 2．A．birthdays B．holidays C．weekends D．weekdays 3．A．But B．If C．Until D．Because 4．A．cleans B．visits C．leaves D．paints 5．A．sound B．place C．price D．temperature 6．A．accepted B．printed C．refused D．deleted 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．A 【导语】本文介绍了深圳热门的共享钢琴房，人们可通过微信小程序预约，获得了众多体验者的认可。 1．句意：人们可以通过名为“琴小站”的微信小程序预订共享钢琴房。 需通过微信小程序“琴小站”来预订共享钢琴房，through符合。 2．句意：然而，人们在工作日都不容易订到房间，更不用说周末了。 结合“let alone (更不用说) on weekends”可知，在平日里都不好订共享钢琴房，周末就更不好订了。weekdays符合语境。 3．句意：但现在她几乎找不到时间弹琴，因为工作繁忙。 上文“She often played the piano when she was young.”提到她在年轻时经常弹琴，下文说“现在由于工作繁忙而几乎没有时间弹琴”，上下文之间存在转折，but符合语境。 4．句意：她现在每周去琴房两次，在那里练习弹钢琴。 根据“She now...the rooms twice a week and practices playing the piano there.”可知，她每周去共享钢琴房两次，visits符合语境。 5．句意：毕竟，对于很多家庭来说，钢琴的价格实在太高了。 上文“The pianos are free to use.”提到钢琴是免费使用的，所以此处应是提及“价格”，price符合。 6．句意：外国音乐家安格洛·卡斯塔涅托也接受了这个想法。 结合下文该音乐家所说的话“Playing the piano in the room helps me relax after a day’s work. ..These piano rooms make people’s cultural life rich and colorful.”可知，他也接受“共享钢琴房”的想法，accepted符合。 Passage 3 【难题突破】 I have a friend. She doesn’t walk, talk or laugh, but she is very kind and friendly to me. When I feel tired, she can help me 1 . She makes me happy almost every day. You can’t touch or see her, but she’s 2 . Do you know who she is? She is my best friend—music. Music is my favourite type of art. When I was four years old, I began to listen to different kinds of music. The first time I saw a piano, a black-and-white musical instrument, I was attracted by it. At first, I was 3 playing the piano. But as a four-year-old girl, classical music was not very attractive to me. So I became impatient and didn’t want to play the piano any more. However, two months later, I changed my mind. One day, I was listening to The Ninth Symphony at home. My mother told me that Beethoven wrote it after he was deaf. The symphony sounded very powerful, because he wrote it with 4 emotion. Beethoven was deaf, but he didn’t 5 on practicing the piano. So I should learn from him. From then on, I began learning to play the piano again and tried very hard to practice. I love playing the piano. When I feel happy, I will play a happy song to share 6 with my parents; when I feel sad, I will choose a sorrowful song to pour out my sadness. I will always remember my best friend, music. 1．A．work B．study C．repair D．relax 2．A．somewhere B．everywhere C．anywhere D．nowhere 3．A．famous for B．poor at C．careful with D．interested in 4．A．strong B．sad C．angry D．enjoyable 5．A．show off B．give up C．clean up D．pay for 6．A．information B．food C．happiness D．invitation 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者与音乐这位好朋友的故事。 1．句意：当我感到累的时候，她能帮我放松。 累的时候需要放松，relax“放松”符合。work“工作”、study“学习”、repair“修理”均与累时所需动作不符。 2．句意：你摸不到她也看不到她，但是她无处不在。 前后为转折关系，虽然摸不到看不到，但无处不在，everywhere“到处”符合。somewhere“某处”、anywhere“任何地方”不能体现这种无处不在的强烈感觉；nowhere“无处”与语境矛盾。 3．句意：起初，我对弹钢琴感兴趣。 根据上下文可知，起初是感兴趣的，后来因为古典音乐不吸引人才不想弹了，interested in“对……感兴趣”符合。be famous for“因……而著名”、be poor at“不擅长”、be careful with“小心对待”均与语境不符。 4．句意：这首交响曲听起来很有力量，因为他带着强烈的情感创作了它。 交响曲有力量是因为有强烈的情感，strong“强烈的”符合。sad“悲伤的”、angry“生气的”、enjoyable“令人愉快的”均不能体现使交响曲有力量这种情感。 5．句意：贝多芬失聪了，但是他没有放弃练习钢琴。 根据“So I should learn from him.”以及前文贝多芬失聪还创作交响曲可知，他没有放弃，give up“放弃”符合。show off“炫耀”、clean up“打扫”、pay for“支付”均与语境不符。 6．句意：当我感到开心的时候，我会弹一首欢快的歌和我的父母分享快乐。 开心时弹欢快的歌是为了分享快乐，happiness“快乐”符合。information“信息”、food“食物”、invitation“邀请”均与分享的内容不符。 话题2 语言与文化 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·上海·单元测试）How to ask for help when you are visiting a foreign country? For example, when you travel in a place and want to ask for 1 , you may ask “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” They are both 2 . However, the second one sounds more polite. So we should learn how to ask for help properly. Good speakers can change the way they speak to different people. You can ask your classmates 3 questions because you know them well. But you can’t say the same words to your teachers, like “When is the school trip?” You may use “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know when the school trip is?” Polite questions are usually longer, such as “Could you tell me your e-mail address?” or “May I ask how I can get to the library?” Sometimes we need to spend time leading into the 4 . When we ask a stranger for help, we  may first say “Excuse me, I wonder 5 you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but...” It may be more difficult to ask 6 than directly. However, what we should learn is to use the right language in different situations. That will be helpful for us to communicate better. 1．A．conditions B．vacations C．traditions D．directions 2．A．similar B．strange C．correct D．difficult 3．A．popular B．clear C．direct D．secret 4．A．trouble B．surprise C．lesson D．request 5．A．if B．how C．when D．why 6．A．politely B．quickly C．widely D．slowly 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．A 【导语】本文主要讲述在不同情境下应恰当使用语言求助，如根据对象调整提问方式、注意礼貌用语等，以实现更好沟通。 1．句意：当你在外国游览时想请求指引，你可能会问“洗手间在哪里？”或“你能告诉我洗手间在哪里吗？”。    conditions条件；vacations假期；traditions传统；directions方向。根据“Where are the restrooms?”可知是询问位置，“directions”符合语境。故选D。   2．句意：它们都相似。然而，第二个听起来更礼貌。    similar相似的；strange奇怪的；correct正确的；difficult困难的。根据“the second one sounds more polite”可知两句结构功能相近，“similar”符合语境。故选C。 3．句意：你可以问同学直接的问题，因为你很了解他们。    popular流行的；clear清楚的；direct直接的；secret秘密的。由“know them well”可知对同学可直接提问，“direct”符合逻辑。故选C。 4．句意：有时我们需要花时间引入请求。    trouble麻烦；surprise惊喜；lesson课程；request请求。根据“ask a stranger for help”及举例可知，需铺垫后提出“请求”，“request”符合语境。故选D。 5．句意：当我们向陌生人求助时，可能会先说“打扰一下，我想知道是否你能帮我”。    if是否；how如何；when何时；why为什么。“wonder if...”为固定用法，表示委婉询问“是否能帮忙”，“if”符合语法结构。故选A。 6．句意：礼貌地提问可能比直接提问更难。    politely礼貌地；quickly快速地；widely广泛地；slowly缓慢地。全文围绕“礼貌求助”展开，“politely”与“directly”形成对比，符合主旨。故选A。 Passage 2 What’s the English word for the Chinese food jiaozi? Perhaps you would say “dumpling”. But 1 , you can just say “jiaozi”. It has been officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Until now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to the dictionary, becoming a part of the English language. Why have these words become popular? It may be because of the increasing interest in learning Chinese. The Confucius Institute (孔子学院) , which offers Chinese lessons, has 2 1, 073 offices in 140 countries and areas, with 2.1 million students. Researchers studied 50 media platforms in eight English- speaking 3 , including the US, the UK and India. Their report listed the top 100 Chinese words that people in these countries use the most. “Shaolin”, a place in China that is 4 for kung fu, was at the top of the list. Other popular words include “yinyang” “gugong” “nihao” “wushu” “qi” “qigong” “renminbi” and “majiang”. Some of the hot words represent the social and cultural changes. For example, 5 tuhao and dama are old words, they have got new meanings. Tuhao used to represent those who owned a lot of land and had many servants in the old days, but now it is used to refer to the rich who spend money like water or like to show off. Dama (aunt)  used to be a term to middle- aged women, but now it especially refers to the Chinese women who like shopping. They usually rush to buy a lot of gold when its price 6 , thinking that they can save much money. Some of the words refer to not only social and cultural changes, but also politics, economics and technology, like zhongguomeng (Chinese Dream), yidaiyilu and wanggou. 1．A．finally B．actually C．firstly D．luckily 2．A．given up B．set up C．put up D．looked up 3．A．cities B．towns C．schools D．countries 4．A．interesting B．boring C．famous D．late 5．A．because B．although C．since D．when 6．A．drops B．raises C．rises D．loses 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中文词汇逐步进入英语世界的现象，介绍了“jiaozi”等词汇被收入《牛津英语词典》的背景，分析了中文词汇流行的原因，并列举了热门词汇及其文化、社会内涵。 【详解】1．句意：但事实上，你可以直接说“jiaozi”。 此处用于转折补充事实，actually事实上，符合语境，用来纠正人们习惯用“dumpling”的说法。 2．句意：提供汉语课程的孔子学院已在140个国家和地区设立了1073个办事处，有210万学生。 set up建立、设立；与“offices”搭配，符合“建立办事机构”的语境。 3．句意：研究人员研究了八个英语国家的50个媒体平台，包括美国、英国和印度。 后文列举了美国、英国、印度等国家，因此此处指“八个说英语的国家”，countries国家，符合上下文逻辑。 4．句意：中国一个以功夫闻名的地方“少林”名列榜首。 be famous for因……而闻名，是固定搭配，符合“少林以功夫闻名”的常识。 5．句意：例如，虽然“土豪”和“大妈”是旧词，但它们有了新含义。 前后为让步关系，although虽然，引导让步状语从句，符合逻辑。 6．句意：他们通常在金价下跌时抢购大量黄金，以为这样可以省下很多钱。 根据常识，人们会在价格下跌时买入，drop下跌，符合语境；raises/rises上涨，与逻辑相反；loses丢失，不与“price”搭配。 Passage 3 【难题突破】 Love them or hate them, emojis have become an important part of our 21st-century culture. Over 90 percent of the world’s 4.6 billion Internet users regularly send them. In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries chose Face with Tears of Joy ( ) as its Word of the Year. Two years later, Hollywood tried to 1 the fad (一时的风尚) with The Emoji Movie, though the reviews for the film were poor. However, some language experts are 2 this way of communicating. They think it’s like going back to the dark days of poor illiteracy. Emojis, they say, are making us less-skilled communicators. People depend on these “picture characters”, rather than words, to express their feelings. I want to challenge this point of view. I’m afraid these experts have misunderstood 3 communication works. Emojis aren’t taking the place of language. Instead, they help us understand messages better by adding 4 signals. Here is an example. Without an emoji, what I mean by the following message would be puzzling: “Hey, I tripped and banged my head on the kitchen cupboard!” The person I’m sending the message to might have difficulty 5 my true feelings. Should he laugh (“Ha-ha! You’re so silly!”) or take pity on me (“Oh, hope it doesn’t hurt too badly.”)? The addition of an emoji will spell out the meaning behind my words. Emojis are to text messages as body language is to spoken communication. They allow us to communicate more 6 . So we probably don’t have to worry about the fad as long as we don’t overuse emojis. These lovely characters, in general, are helpful. 1．A．follow B．trust C．order D．enter 2．A．from B．against C．for D．to 3．A．why B．where C．how D．what 4．A．emotional B．crying C．mysterious D．dangerous 5．A．manage to B．making out C．trying out D．working out 6．A．effectively B．attentively C．quickly D．hardly 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 6．A 【导语】本文讨论了表情符号成为21世纪文化重要部分的现象，反驳了语言专家对表情符号使交流能力下降的观点，认为其有助于更有效地交流。 1．句意：两年后，好莱坞试图跟风推出电影《表情奇幻冒险》，不过这部电影的评价很差。 根据“the fad”和文章第一、二句可知，表情符号成为时尚，好莱坞跟风追随时尚，follow“跟随”符合语境。 2．句意：然而，一些语言专家反对这种交流方式。 根据下文“They think it’s like going back to the dark days of poor illiteracy. Emojis, they say, are making us less-skilled communicators.”可知，专家认为用表情符号交流会带来不好的影响，说明专家反对这种交流方式，be against“反对”符合语境。 3．句意：恐怕这些专家误解了沟通的运作方式。 下文“Emojis aren’t taking the place of language. Instead, they help us understand messages better adding...signals.”解释了表情符号的运作方式，由此推知作者认为专家误解了沟通的运作方式，how“如何”符合语境。why表原因，where表地点，what表内容，均不符合逻辑。 4．句意：相反，它们通过添加情感信号，帮助我们更好地理解信息。 此句主语“they”指代上文“Emojis”，表情符号的作用是给文字补充情感信号，emotional“感情的”符合语境。 5．句意：收到这条信息的人可能很难弄清楚我真正的感受。 have difficulty (in) doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”，空后应填动名词；上文“puzzling”和下文“my true feelings”表明人们很难弄清发信息的人的感受，work out“弄清楚，理解”符合语境；make out“看清、听清”和try out“试验”均不符合题意。 6．句意：它们让我们能够更有效地交流。 根据上文“The addition of an emoji will spell out the meaning behind my words.”可知，表情符号能阐明话语背后的含义，也就能让交流更高效，effectively“有效地”符合语境。 话题3 志愿服务 Passage 1 （25-26七年级下·上海·期中）There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless, and volunteer at local charity centers. 1 , there is a new way to help poor people living in distant areas, and that is by giving money to them directly. Since 2012, the charity organization Give-Directly has been studying 2 to make the direct money support work better. The charity gives them a one-year budget (预算), spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay it back. When Give-Directly tracked how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money 3 . Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roofs need 4 several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows for farming or started small businesses, such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and health care, and give their children an education. The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are 5 that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations. Although it’s hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is a 6 way of helping others. 1．A．Besides B．So far C．Therefore D．However 2．A．why B．how C．what D．where 3．A．properly B．immediately C．dishonestly D．heavily 4．A．donation B．sunshine C．repairs D．services 5．A．aware B．worried C．satisfied D．disappointed 6．A．traditional B．wrong C．natural D．creative 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文讲述了帮助有需要的人有多种方式，除了传统慈善方式外，还有一种新方式即直接给偏远地区的穷人捐款。自 2012 年起，Give-Directly 慈善组织一直在研究如何让直接资金支持效果更好，跟踪发现肯尼亚人合理使用资金，虽有人担心部分家庭会浪费或依赖捐款，但直接捐款仍是一种有创意的帮助他人的方式。 1．句意：然而，有一种帮助生活在偏远地区的穷人的新方法，那就是直接给他们钱。 上文提到大型慈善组织常见的帮助方式，下文说有一种新的帮助方式，前后是转折关系，However“然而”符合。Besides“此外”表递进；So far“到目前为止”表时间；Therefore“因此”表因果，均不符合语境。 2．句意：自 2012 年以来，慈善组织 Give-Directly 一直在研究如何使直接资金支持更好地发挥作用。 根据“to make the direct money support work better”可知，是研究怎样让直接资金支持效果更好，how“怎样”符合。why“为什么”；what“什么”；where“哪里”，均不符合语境。 3．句意：当 Give-Directly 跟踪资金的使用情况时，他们高兴地发现肯尼亚人正确地使用这笔钱。 下文提到很多家庭用钱做合理的事，说明肯尼亚人正确使用资金，properly“正确地”符合。immediately“立即”；dishonestly“不诚实地”；heavily“严重地”，均不符合语境。 4．句意：虽然草屋顶每年需要修理几次，但金属屋顶使用寿命更长，还能省钱。 根据“metal roofs last longer and save money”可知，草屋顶和金属屋顶对比，草屋顶需要修理，repairs“修理”符合。donation“捐赠”；sunshine“阳光”；services“服务”，均不符合语境。 5．句意：有些人担心一些家庭会浪费这笔钱，或者干脆依赖这些捐赠。 根据“some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations”可知，这是有些人担心的情况，worried“担心的”符合。aware“意识到的”；satisfied“满意的”；disappointed“失望的”，均不符合语境。 6．句意：尽管很难判断直接给他们资金支持是否是个好主意，但我们都可以同意这是一种帮助他人的有创意的方式。 上文提到新的帮助方式，与传统方式不同，说明是有创意的方式，creative“有创意的”符合。traditional“传统的”；wrong“错误的”；natural“自然的”，均不符合语境。 Passage 2 （25-26七年级下·上海·单元测试） Mia sees a 1 on the Internet. It shows 80% of the students live in the poor areas and they need help now. She doesn’t have much money but she still wants to buy some sports equipment (运动器材) and school things for them.

Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds. To watch birds, all you need is a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜), a field guide and 2 for birds. If you are just starting birdwatching, buy 3 pairs of binoculars. You can choose better ones when your needs and skills grow. A field guide helps you learn about the birds’ appearances, calls and habits before birdwatching. Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food. Most of the time, you will hear bird calls from all around you, but will not 4 any birds easily. Look for movement in trees and bring your binoculars to your eyes. The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify the birds he or she sees. A bird’s shape, size, colour and habits can help a birdwatcher identify it. When you identify a bird, don’t forget to take notes about it in your notebook. To find more different birds, you may wish to plan 5 to birds’ different living areas: forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc. When watching birds, you should always keep in mind: 6 wildlife and protect their living areas. 1．A．boring B．difficult C．expensive D．popular 2．A．money B．love C．luck D．peace 3．A．lighter B．heavier C．cheaper D．worse 4．A．catch B．see C．hear D．feel 5．A．meetings B．picnics C．trips D．protection 6．A．satisfy B．raise C．treat D．respect 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 6．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了观鸟这一活动的流行、所需装备、观鸟技巧、注意事项及观鸟者的核心工作与相关规划。 1．句意：观鸟在世界上许多地方正变得越来越受欢迎。 根据后文“Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds.”可知，观鸟是一项受欢迎的活动。popular意为“受欢迎的”，符合语境；boring（无聊的）、difficult（困难的）、expensive（昂贵的）均不符合逻辑。 2．句意：要观鸟，你所需要的就是一副双筒望远镜、一本野外指南以及对鸟类的喜爱。 观鸟者需要对鸟类有喜爱之情才能投入这项活动，love意为“喜爱”，符合语境；money（钱）、luck（运气）、peace（和平）均与观鸟的核心需求无关。 3．句意：如果你刚开始观鸟，买一副便宜些的双筒望远镜就好。 后文“You can choose better ones when your needs and skills grow.”说明新手阶段不需要昂贵的，cheaper意为“更便宜的”，符合语境；lighter（更轻的）、heavier（更重的）、worse（更差的）均不符合上下文逻辑。 4．句意：大多数时候，你会听到周围到处都是鸟叫声，但却不容易看到任何鸟类。 前文提到“hear bird calls”（听到鸟叫），通过转折连词“but”可知，听到叫声但看不到鸟，see意为“看见”，符合语境；catch（抓住）、hear（听见）、feel（感觉）均不符合逻辑。 5．句意：为了发现更多不同种类的鸟类，你可能希望计划前往鸟类的不同栖息地：森林、湖泊、河流、湿地等。 “前往不同的栖息地”需要规划出行，trips意为“旅行、出行”，plan trips to表示“计划前往……”，符合语境；meetings（会议）、picnics（野餐）、protection（保护）均不符合语境。 6．句意：观鸟时，你应该始终牢记：尊重野生动物，保护它们的栖息地。 “保护栖息地”的前提是尊重野生动物，respect意为“尊重”，符合语境；satisfy（满足）、raise（养育、筹集）、treat（对待、治疗）均不符合保护野生动物的核心要求。 Passage 2 Plants: more than we thought Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are 1 in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste 2 with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to 3 a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small 4 on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These things let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by the wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the 5 of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they 6 touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．A．dangerous B．strange C．important D．unusual 2．A．ill B．bad C．badly D．delicious 3．A．call B．invite C．attract D．send 4．A．treetops B．spots C．openings D．marks 5．A．number B．days C．time D．length 6．A．avoid B．ignore C．dislike D．sense 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．A 6．D 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了植物自我保护、交流和记忆等方面的独特能力，展现了植物比我们想象中更神奇。 【详解】 1．句意：但现在，新的研究表明植物以它们自己独特的方式生存。 “in their own ways”表示植物以它们自己独特的方式生存，应选用unusual，表示 “独特的”。dangerous“危险的”，strange“奇怪的”，important“重要的”均不符合语境。 2．句意：例如，当虫子吃它们时，番茄植物可以用一种特殊的汁液使它们的叶子味道变差。 后文提到番茄植物可以用一种特殊的汁液使它们的叶子味道变差，让虫子互相吃，bad“差的”符合语境，形容词作表语。ill“生病的”，badly“非常”，delicious“美味的”均不符合语境。 3．句意：玉米植物可以检查虫子留下的东西，然后利用这些信息叫蜜蜂来捕猎虫子。 “a bee to hunt the worms.”提示是叫蜜蜂来捕猎虫子，call“叫”符合语境，此处是拟人用法。invite“邀请”，attract“吸引”，send“发送”均不符合语境。 4．句意：在显微镜下，植物上有一些看起来像小鱼嘴的小开口。 “on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope”提示植物上有一些看起来像小鱼嘴的小开口，openings“开口”符合语境。treetops“树顶”，spots“地点”，marks“标记”均不符合语境。 5．句意：许多果树需要“记住”冬天寒冷的天数，才能在春天开花。 “of cold days in winter to blossom in spring.”提示是记住冬天寒冷的天数，number“数量”符合语境，the number of“……的数量”。days“天”，time“时间”，length“长度”均不符合语境。 6．句意：我们不知道它们是否会感到疼痛，但它们能感觉到触摸或对被吃掉做出反应，即使它们不会像我们一样感到疼痛。 “touch or respond to being eaten”提示是能感觉到触摸或对被吃掉做出反应，sense“感觉”符合语境。avoid“避免”，ignore“忽视”，dislike“不喜欢”均不符合语境。 Passage 3 【难题突破】 Leaves of Legacy The world’s old-growth forests support life around them, and their survival is 1 for protecting the planet’s biodiversity (生物多样性). As I step into the forest light, I’m attracted to the majesty of the ancient giants around me. Trees, these guardians of 2 , stand tall in the Daintree Rainforest, one of the world’s oldest and most biodiverse ecosystems. Each tree has its story to tell, shaped by millennia of existence. Some date back millions of years, with roots reaching into the ancient past. In this verdant wonderland, trees play 3 roles in the circle of life. Fallen branches become homes to beetles, and the intricate network of roots provides a haven for small creatures to find food. Birds find sanctuary in the barks, while mushrooms get energy from trunks and limbs ... As I stand in their comforting shade, I can’t help but marvel at their grand purpose. These trees, the lungs of the planet, silently breathe in carbon dioxide and water, marrying them with the life-giving magic of the sun. 4 , they release the essential oxygen that fills our own lungs making our little planet a haven of life. And more wonders exist beyond the Daintree’s embrace. Trees stand as monuments to resilience and endurance. These ancient sentinels, scattered across the globe, remind us of the timeless beauty and importance of preserving our natural heritage. As I 1 the rainforest to continue my journey, I carry with me the memory of these primeval beings.

Back then, many African Americans worked as slaves (奴隶) in the U.S. While working in the fields, they often sang songs called “the blues.” It is sad and 1 at the same time. For those poor slaves, the blues are their way to show pain and wish for a better life. When they sang, each person could add their own feelings. Singers or musicians didn’t write down the songs with notes and lyrics. 2 , they just learned the melody and performed them with personal understanding. This special way of creating music is called improvising (即兴创作). Jazz first became popular in New Orleans. Later, 3 and a new invention called “record” allowed jazz to reach people all over the country. A lot of African Americans worked on trains and traveled to different places. They told everyone about this exciting new music. They even 4 the records so people could actually listen to jazz. Americans of all races (种族) enjoyed jazz, but at first white musicians and black musicians usually did not play together in the same band. Things began to change in the 1930s. A white band leader named Benny Goodman 5 a black pianist a job in his band. Benny believed that music had no color and talent was more important. Many people agreed with him. They realized that it was 6 to keep white musicians away from black musicians. After all, great music comes from the heart, not from race. 1．A．classical B．hopeful C．soft D．calm 2．A．However B．Finally C．Instead D．In addition 3．A．railways B．shows C．musicians D．radios 4．A．described B．expected C．carried D．produced 5．A．sold B．offered C．showed D．guided 6．A．difficult B．common C．proper D．silly Passage 2 There are some shared piano rooms in Shenzhen. They are very popular. People can book a shared piano room 1 the WeChat mini-programme called “琴小站”. The rooms are available 24 hours a day. Each room is about 4 m2 in size. There’s a piano and a few pieces of art hanging on the walls. Many people want to play the piano in the room. However, it’s not easy for people to book a room on 2 , let alone (更不用说) on weekends. Ms Cheng was very glad when she booked a room successfully. She often played the piano when she was young. 3 now she can hardly find the time to play because of her busy work. However, these shared piano rooms helped her find her love for playing again. She now 4 the rooms twice a week and practices playing the piano there. Ms Cheng thought these piano rooms were very useful. “The pianos are free to use. If children want to learn to play the piano, they can have a try in the room first. After all, the 5 of a piano is really high for many families,” she said. The foreign musician Anglo Castagneto also 6 the idea. He said, “Playing the piano in the room helps me relax after a day’s work. Music plays an important part in our life.

Do you know who she is? She is my best friend—music. Music is my favourite type of art. When I was four years old, I began to listen to different kinds of music. The first time I saw a piano, a black-and-white musical instrument, I was attracted by it. At first, I was 3 playing the piano. But as a four-year-old girl, classical music was not very attractive to me. So I became impatient and didn’t want to play the piano any more. However, two months later, I changed my mind. One day, I was listening to The Ninth Symphony at home. My mother told me that Beethoven wrote it after he was deaf. The symphony sounded very powerful, because he wrote it with 4 emotion. Beethoven was deaf, but he didn’t 5 on practicing the piano. So I should learn from him. From then on, I began learning to play the piano again and tried very hard to practice. I love playing the piano. When I feel happy, I will play a happy song to share 6 with my parents; when I feel sad, I will choose a sorrowful song to pour out my sadness.

For example, when you travel in a place and want to ask for 1 , you may ask “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” They are both 2 . However, the second one sounds more polite. So we should learn how to ask for help properly. Good speakers can change the way they speak to different people. You can ask your classmates 3 questions because you know them well. But you can’t say the same words to your teachers, like “When is the school trip?” You may use “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know when the school trip is?” Polite questions are usually longer, such as “Could you tell me your e-mail address?” or “May I ask how I can get to the library?” Sometimes we need to spend time leading into the 4 . When we ask a stranger for help, we  may first say “Excuse me, I wonder 5 you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but...” It may be more difficult to ask 6 than directly. However, what we should learn is to use the right language in different situations.

Perhaps you would say “dumpling”. But 1 , you can just say “jiaozi”. It has been officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Until now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to the dictionary, becoming a part of the English language. Why have these words become popular? It may be because of the increasing interest in learning Chinese. The Confucius Institute (孔子学院) , which offers Chinese lessons, has 2 1, 073 offices in 140 countries and areas, with 2.1 million students. Researchers studied 50 media platforms in eight English- speaking 3 , including the US, the UK and India. Their report listed the top 100 Chinese words that people in these countries use the most. “Shaolin”, a place in China that is 4 for kung fu, was at the top of the list. Other popular words include “yinyang” “gugong” “nihao” “wushu” “qi” “qigong” “renminbi” and “majiang”. Some of the hot words represent the social and cultural changes. For example, 5 tuhao and dama are old words, they have got new meanings. Tuhao used to represent those who owned a lot of land and had many servants in the old days, but now it is used to refer to the rich who spend money like water or like to show off. Dama (aunt)  used to be a term to middle- aged women, but now it especially refers to the Chinese women who like shopping. They usually rush to buy a lot of gold when its price 6 , thinking that they can save much money. Some of the words refer to not only social and cultural changes, but also politics, economics and technology, like zhongguomeng (Chinese Dream), yidaiyilu and wanggou. 1．A．finally B．actually C．firstly D．luckily 2．A．given up B．set up C．put up D．looked up 3．A．cities B．towns C．schools D．countries 4．A．interesting B．boring C．famous D．late 5．A．because B．although C．since D．when 6．A．drops B．raises C．rises D．loses Passage 3 【难题突破】Love them or hate them, emojis have become an important part of our 21st-century culture. Over 90 percent of the world’s 4.6 billion Internet users regularly send them. In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries chose Face with Tears of Joy ( ) as its Word of the Year. Two years later, Hollywood tried to 1 the fad (一时的风尚) with The Emoji Movie, though the reviews for the film were poor. However, some language experts are 2 this way of communicating. They think it’s like going back to the dark days of poor illiteracy. Emojis, they say, are making us less-skilled communicators. People depend on these “picture characters”, rather than words, to express their feelings. I want to challenge this point of view. I’m afraid these experts have misunderstood 3 communication works. Emojis aren’t taking the place of language. Instead, they help us understand messages better by adding 4 signals. Here is an example. Without an emoji, what I mean by the following message would be puzzling: “Hey, I tripped and banged my head on the kitchen cupboard!” The person I’m sending the message to might have difficulty 5 my true feelings. Should he laugh (“Ha-ha! You’re so silly!”) or take pity on me (“Oh, hope it doesn’t hurt too badly.”)? The addition of an emoji will spell out the meaning behind my words. Emojis are to text messages as body language is to spoken communication. They allow us to communicate more 6 . So we probably don’t have to worry about the fad as long as we don’t overuse emojis. These lovely characters, in general, are helpful. 1．A．follow B．trust C．order D．enter 2．A．from B．against C．for D．to 3．A．why B．where C．how D．what 4．A．emotional B．crying C．mysterious D．dangerous 5．A．manage to B．making out C．trying out D．working out 6．A．effectively B．attentively C．quickly D．hardly 话题3 志愿服务 Passage 1 （25-26七年级下·上海·期中）There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless, and volunteer at local charity centers. 1 , there is a new way to help poor people living in distant areas, and that is by giving money to them directly. Since 2012, the charity organization Give-Directly has been studying 2 to make the direct money support work better. The charity gives them a one-year budget (预算), spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay it back. When Give-Directly tracked how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money 3 . Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roofs need 4 several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows for farming or started small businesses, such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and health care, and give their children an education. The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are 5 that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations. Although it’s hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is a 6 way of helping others. 1．A．Besides B．So far C．Therefore D．However 2．A．why B．how C．what D．where 3．A．properly B．immediately C．dishonestly D．heavily 4．A．donation B．sunshine C．repairs D．services 5．A．aware B．worried C．satisfied D．disappointed 6．A．traditional B．wrong C．natural D．creative Passage 2 （25-26七年级下·上海·单元测试）Mia sees a 1 on the Internet.

As we move forward, these services must update themselves to meet new challenges in the near future. Volunteer work’s influence on communities is huge. They assist in healthcare for the elderly, environmental protection, education, and social welfare. Some of them volunteer to give back, 1 others look for personal growth. In the near future, first of all, an aging community will become a reality, volunteers thus will help with improving elderly care 2 rich community programs, ensuring the quality of life for the elderly. They will also 3 care plans to meet their special needs. Such acts of kindness will not only provide the elderly with a sense of happiness and belonging but also bring warmth and energy to their daily lives.

In the future, volunteers will improve the neighborhood environment by making good use of 5 , such as using IoT sensors for monitoring air and water quality, spreading the idea of smart recycling with apps. They can also hold workshops on renewable energy solutions, create online platforms to encourage more residents to participate. In this way, a healthier community will never be a dream. During the process, 6 from local governments and businesses will also be very important since communication and cooperation ensure the resources for those projects.

Jack suggested we should focus on making a model, while I thought a presentation would be 1 . Our disagreement quickly 2 into a heated exchange of words. As the argument grew louder, other classmates started to gather around, which only made things worse. I could feel my face turning red with anger and I said some things I didn’t really mean. Jack looked upset and the anger between us was obvious. It wasn’t long before the bell rang. We went back to our seats 3 fixing anything and I felt awful. During the last period, I couldn’t concentrate on the lesson. All I could think about was the argument and how it might 4 our project and our friendship. I knew I had to make things right.

It can express emotions, tell stories, and even bring people together. For 17-year-old Anna, music was more than just a hobby—it was a way to connect with the world. Anna had been playing the piano since she was six. Her fingers danced across the keys, creating melodies that could make people 1 . But one day, something unexpected happened. During a school performance, Anna felt a sudden pain in her hands. She tried to ignore it, but the pain grew 2 . After visiting a doctor, she was told she might never play the piano again. Devastated, Anna felt like her world had collapsed. She avoided her piano, fearing the sight of it would only deepen her sadness. However, her best friend, Tom, had a different idea. Tom was a guitarist who believed in the healing power of music. He encouraged Anna to try composing instead of playing. “You don’t need your hands to create music,” he said. “You just need your 3 .” Inspired by Tom’s words, Anna began to write songs.

The People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) is asking for people all over the UK to help with its 2023 Living with Mammals (哺乳动物) survey, which starts this March. PTES is a UK wildlife charity (慈善) group. Living with Mammals survey is one of its projects. This volunteer project will continue until the end of 2023. It asks the public to 1 any mammals they see in their garden, a park or even on a school sports field. PTES will use the information from the survey to find out where protection projects are most needed. The charity hopes the survey will help it understand the UK's changing 2 , so it can encourage wildlife in towns. If you are a volunteer, you are asked to record when and where you see any wild 3 . You can also take a record of any signs of mammals you see, like footprints, and then record your sightings (发现) online. You don't have to be a wildlife expert because the website of PTES explains how to tell the difference between similar animals. Even common sightings, like rabbits and foxes, will be 4 . You can also share pictures of your findings on the Internet. 5 you can spare some time each week, we hope you'll join us in trying to help save as many our much-loved mammals as possible.

He kept many monkeys at home. The old man 1 them carefully. The monkeys could understand what he said and he could 2 understand the monkeys. Winter was coming and there wasn’t enough food in the old man’s home. He thought that the monkeys had to eat less, or the food wouldn’t last the whole winter. He 3 to the monkeys, “My dear friends, there isn’t enough food to make it through the winter. From now on, each of you can only eat seven pieces of food a day.” The monkeys all agreed. The old man then added, “Every morning I will give each of you three pieces of food. In the evening, I will give you four pieces.” Immediately (立即), the monkeys began to shout. They were 4 . “All right!” said the old man. “Every morning I will give you four pieces! And in the evening, I will give you three pieces. Is that okay?” All the monkeys realized that they would get 5 food in the morning. To them, this was better already. They jumped around and laughed. Just like the monkeys, some people can easily change their 6 even when something is not actually (实际上) different. 1．A．looked after B．looked around C．looked for 2．A．still B．also C．only 3．A．explained B．answered C．listened 4．A．angry B．nervous C．excited 5．A．healthier B．fresher C．more 6．A．minds B．advice C．reasons Passage 3 【难题突破】（24-25七年级下·上海崇明·期中）When we are talking about animals in China, the most precious kind of animal we would think of is probably the panda. In fact, a kind of bird is as precious as the panda, but many people don’t know much about it. The bird is the crested ibis (朱鹮). It is as 1 as snow with a red face and it looks very beautiful. Crested ibises live in tall trees by small rivers or rice fields. They 2 small fish and some other small animals for food. About one hundred years ago, a lot of crested ibises lived in China, Russia and Japan. Later, as they lost their homes, the 3 of them was getting smaller and smaller. Between 1965 and 1980, people didn’t see any of them living in the wild. Luckily, on 23rd May, scientists 4 seven of them in the south of Shaanxi Province. In order to 5 crested ibises in the wild, the Chinese government is setting up natural parks and developing other plans. Now scientists are doing a lot of research to help them to 6 more babies so that there will be more and more crested ibises. Today there are about 1,500 crested ibises living in the wild and there are about 500 crested ibises in zoos and research centres. 1．A．black B．white C．yellow D．brown 2．A．look after B．look at C．look for D．look like 3．A．number B．age C．size D．food 4．A．returned B．bought C．found D．changed 5．A．catch B．feed C．watch D．protect 6．A．feed B．produce C．teach D．touch 话题6 环境保护/植物 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·上海长宁·阶段检测）Birdwatching is becoming more and more 1 in many parts of the world. Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds. To watch birds, all you need is a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜), a field guide and 2 for birds. If you are just starting birdwatching, buy 3 pairs of binoculars. You can choose better ones when your needs and skills grow. A field guide helps you learn about the birds’ appearances, calls and habits before birdwatching. Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food. Most of the time, you will hear bird calls from all around you, but will not 4 any birds easily. Look for movement in trees and bring your binoculars to your eyes. The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify the birds he or she sees. A bird’s shape, size, colour and habits can help a birdwatcher identify it. When you identify a bird, don’t forget to take notes about it in your notebook. To find more different birds, you may wish to plan 5 to birds’ different living areas: forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc. When watching birds, you should always keep in mind: 6 wildlife and protect their living areas. 1．A．boring B．difficult C．expensive D．popular 2．A．money B．love C．luck D．peace 3．A．lighter B．heavier C．cheaper D．worse 4．A．catch B．see C．hear D．feel 5．A．meetings B．picnics C．trips D．protection 6．A．satisfy B．raise C．treat D．respect Passage 2 Plants: more than we thought Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are 1 in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste 2 with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to 3 a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small 4 on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These things let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by the wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the 5 of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they 6 touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．A．dangerous B．strange C．important D．unusual 2．A．ill B．bad C．badly D．delicious 3．A．call B．invite C．attract D．send 4．A．treetops B．spots C．openings D．marks 5．A．number B．days C．time D．length 6．A．avoid B．ignore C．dislike D．sense Passage 3 Leaves of Legacy 【难题突破】The world’s old-growth forests support life around them, and their survival is 1 for protecting the planet’s biodiversity (生物多样性). As I step into the forest light, I’m attracted to the majesty of the ancient giants around me. Trees, these guardians of 2 , stand tall in the Daintree Rainforest, one of the world’s oldest and most biodiverse ecosystems. Each tree has its story to tell, shaped by millennia of existence. Some date back millions of years, with roots reaching into the ancient past. In this verdant wonderland, trees play 3 roles in the circle of life. Fallen branches become homes to beetles, and the intricate network of roots provides a haven for small creatures to find food. Birds find sanctuary in the barks, while mushrooms get energy from trunks and limbs ... As I stand in their comforting shade, I can’t help but marvel at their grand purpose. These trees, the lungs of the planet, silently breathe in carbon dioxide and water, marrying them with the life-giving magic of the sun. 4 , they release the essential oxygen that fills our own lungs making our little planet a haven of life. And more wonders exist beyond the Daintree’s embrace. Trees stand as monuments to resilience and endurance. These ancient sentinels, scattered across the globe, remind us of the timeless beauty and importance of preserving our natural heritage. As I 1 the rainforest to continue my journey, I carry with me the memory of these primeval beings. Their legacy will live on, inspiring generations to cherish and protect the irreplaceable treasures of our planet’s forests. As in the heart of every tree 2 a timeless story, a story of life, survival, and a deep-rooted connection to the earth. 1．A．useless B．convenient C．grateful D．important 2．A．plants B．time C．earth D．forests 3．A．active B．interesting C．wild D．countless 4．A．In return B．However C．Besides D．So 5．A．picture B．leave C．call D．dream 6．A．sends B．gives C．lies D．sees 13 / 13zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
