She was exploring her new house when she found an old photo. “Look,” Kristy smiled up from an old photo. “It says, Mabel beside Monarch Lake, summer 1910.” said Kristy as she held up the photo. “I read that Mabel and her family used to live in this house, and then her kids and grandkids lived here after that.” said Kristy’s mother. “Oh, here’s Mrs. Stevens—right on time! She agreed to look after you while I’m at work.” As Mrs. Stevens sat down, Kristy showed her the photo of Mabel. “Did you know her, Mrs. Stevens?” asked Kristy. “Ah, Mabel Black. She once said Monarch Lake was her favorite place in the world.” said Mrs. Stevens. “But where was Monarch Lake, and why was it so special?” asked Kristy. “Oh, I never asked…” Mrs. Stevens replied. Monarch Lake became a mystery (谜) for Kristy. The next morning, Kristy went to the library to learn about Monarch Lake. She looked at maps. They showed streets and houses, but no lakes. She also searched online, and found nothing about it. Back home, Kristy was looking at the yard when she suddenly had an idea. She ran to get the old photo. In the picture, she saw a church tower behind some small trees. It looked just like the tower she could see from her own backyard! “The photo was taken here!” she shouted. But where was the lake? Kristy was confused (疑惑). That night, it rained hard. The next morning, Kristy looked out her window and saw something wonderful. She ran downstairs to her mom. “Shh,” her mom smiled, pointing to the garden. The rain had made a small puddle (水坑) in the middle of the flowers. Many monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) were flying around it. How magical it was! Now Kristy understood! Monarch Lake was not a big lake—it was this special little puddle for butterflies. 21. Where did Kristy find the old photo? A. In the library. B. In her new house. C. At Mrs. Stevens’ home. D. Beside Monarch Lake. 22. Why did Monarch Lake become a mystery for Kristy? A. Because her mom refused to talk about it with her. B.

What helped Kristy know the photo was taken near her house? A. The flowers in the yard. B. The map from the library. C. The puddle after the rain. D. The church tower in the photo. 24.

Kristy’s New House B. A Trip to the Library C. The Secret of Monarch Lake D. The Story of Mabel Black C Throughout history, Chinese people have used many different ways to record information. These changes show how clever and creative our ancestors were. Long, long ago, people wrote on animal bones and turtle shells. These were called “oracle bones”. They carved (雕刻) words on them to ask questions about the future. Carving was hard work and took a long time. Later, people began to use bamboo slips (竹简). They wrote on thin pieces of bamboo and tied them together to make a book. However, bamboo slips were heavy and took up a lot of space. A single book could fill a whole room! Then a great invention came—papermaking. It was one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. People used plant fibers (纤维) and old cloth to make paper. It was light, cheap, and easy to carry. They wrote on paper with brushes. The brush was made of animal hair and bamboo. They also used ink made from burnt wood and water. This invention made writing much faster and more convenient. Most importantly, knowledge could spread more easily. In modern times, people started to use pencils and pens. Pencils were good for drawing and changing words because you could erase them. Pens were even better because they didn’t need to be put in ink all the time. Writing became cleaner and quicker. Many people began to write diaries and letters. Nowadays, we have computers and smartphones. We can type, save and send information in seconds. We don’t need paper or pens anymore. A small USB drive (U盘) can store thousands of books. E-books, emails and online documents are very common. Recording information has never been so easy or fast. From oracle bones to electronic products, the way we record information has changed a lot. Each new way has made our life better. And who knows what amazing invention will come next? 26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. The written words. B. The ancient people. C. The future questions. D. The bones and shells. 27. According to the passage, why did people stop using bamboo slips? A. Because they were hard to find. B. Because they were too expensive. C. Because they were heavy and large. D. Because they were hard to tie together. 28. According to the passage, what happened after papermaking? A. People stopped using brushes. B. Writing took a very long time. C. People had no way to record things. D. More people could learn new things. 29. How does the writer organize this passage? A. By following the order of time. B. By listing reasons for an opinion. C. By comparing two different ideas. D. By describing a problem and a solution. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. The Four Great Inventions of ancient China. B. The changes of recording information in China. C. How to use computers and smartphones to type. D. Why people stopped using bamboo slips and pens. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Everyone wants to be treated politely.

Many countries are now using new energy. It’s clean, safe, and will never run out. Around the world, people are finding creative ways to “catch” nature’s power! In Germany, many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their roofs. The sun gives them free electricity and hot water. Some schools even use solar power to light up their classrooms. In the United States, big wind farms stand on open hills or even in the sea. The wind spins (旋转) the tall fans, and the spinning makes electricity. One windmill (风车) can power hundreds of homes. In China, the Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝) is one of the biggest power stations in the world. It uses moving water to make electricity. When water rushes down, it turns huge machines. Millions of families get their power from this “water power.” In Iceland, people dig deep into the earth to get hot water and steam. This is called geothermal (地热) energy. The hot water from underground heats their houses and swimming pools all year round. Even when it’s cold outside, their homes stay warm. In Brazil, some cars don’t use gas. They run on a special thing made from plants. This is called biofuel. It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh. These smart ideas show us that we don’t have to pollute the Earth to get energy. With new energy, we can live better and protect our beautiful planet at the same time. Every small step can make a big difference! 1. Why is new energy good for us? List two reasons. __________________46__________________ (列举2项，不超过9词) Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

She ran downstairs to her mom. “Shh,” her mom smiled, pointing to the garden. The rain had made a small puddle (水坑) in the middle of the flowers. Many monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) were flying around it. How magical it was! Now Kristy understood! Monarch Lake was not a big lake—it was this special little puddle for butterflies. 21. Where did Kristy find the old photo? A. In the library. B. In her new house. C. At Mrs. Stevens’ home. D. Beside Monarch Lake. 22. Why did Monarch Lake become a mystery for Kristy? A. Because her mom refused to talk about it with her. B. Because she couldn’t find Mrs. Stevens to ask for help. C. Because the photo of Mabel didn’t show Monarch Lake. D. Because no one knew where it was and why it was special. 23. What helped Kristy know the photo was taken near her house? A. The flowers in the yard. B. The map from the library. C. The puddle after the rain. D. The church tower in the photo. 24. Look at the mind map. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. upset; seeing the “Monarch Lake” B. proud; seeing the small puddle C. angry; watering beautiful flowers D. bored; looking at the butterflies 25. What is the best title for the story? A. Kristy’s New House B. A Trip to the Library C. The Secret of Monarch Lake D. The Story of Mabel Black 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要写了Kristy搬进老宅时发现一张老照片，为解开帝王湖（Monarch Lake）的谜团四处查找线索，最后发现所谓帝王湖其实是雨后花园里供帝王蝶停留的小水洼。 【21题详解】 根据原文第一段“Kristy and her mom just moved to the house. She was exploring her new house when she found an old photo.”可知，Kristy刚搬家，在新房子里闲逛时找到了老照片。 【22题详解】 根据原文Kristy问湖在哪、为什么特别，Mrs. Stevens回复“Oh, I never asked…”可知，没人知晓位置与特别之处，因此帝王湖成了谜团。 【23题详解】 根据原文“In the picture, she saw a church tower behind some small trees. It looked just like the tower she could see from her own backyard!”可知，照片里的教堂塔楼和自家后院能看见的塔楼一模一样，由此确定照片就在自家附近拍摄。 【24题详解】 第一空：searching maps（查地图、上网查找）却一无所获，找不到湖泊，心情upset（沮丧、失落）；第二空：雨后“看见水坑和帝王蝶”（seeing the “Monarch Lake”），发现这就是帝王湖，心情surprised and happy。故选A。 【25题详解】 全文围绕探寻帝王湖的秘密展开：发现照片→好奇湖泊→多方查找→最后揭秘小水坑就是帝王湖。故选C。 C Throughout history, Chinese people have used many different ways to record information. These changes show how clever and creative our ancestors were. Long, long ago, people wrote on animal bones and turtle shells. These were called “oracle bones”. They carved (雕刻) words on them to ask questions about the future. Carving was hard work and took a long time. Later, people began to use bamboo slips (竹简). They wrote on thin pieces of bamboo and tied them together to make a book. However, bamboo slips were heavy and took up a lot of space. A single book could fill a whole room! Then a great invention came—papermaking. It was one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. People used plant fibers (纤维) and old cloth to make paper. It was light, cheap, and easy to carry. They wrote on paper with brushes. The brush was made of animal hair and bamboo. They also used ink made from burnt wood and water. This invention made writing much faster and more convenient. Most importantly, knowledge could spread more easily. In modern times, people started to use pencils and pens. Pencils were good for drawing and changing words because you could erase them. Pens were even better because they didn’t need to be put in ink all the time. Writing became cleaner and quicker. Many people began to write diaries and letters. Nowadays, we have computers and smartphones. We can type, save and send information in seconds. We don’t need paper or pens anymore. A small USB drive (U盘) can store thousands of books. E-books, emails and online documents are very common. Recording information has never been so easy or fast. From oracle bones to electronic products, the way we record information has changed a lot. Each new way has made our life better. And who knows what amazing invention will come next? 26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. The written words. B. The ancient people. C. The future questions. D. The bones and shells. 27. According to the passage, why did people stop using bamboo slips? A. Because they were hard to find. B. Because they were too expensive. C. Because they were heavy and large. D. Because they were hard to tie together. 28. According to the passage, what happened after papermaking? A. People stopped using brushes. B. Writing took a very long time. C. People had no way to record things. D. More people could learn new things. 29. How does the writer organize this passage? A. By following the order of time. B. By listing reasons for an opinion. C. By comparing two different ideas. D. By describing a problem and a solution. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. The Four Great Inventions of ancient China. B. The changes of recording information in China. C. How to use computers and smartphones to type. D. Why people stopped using bamboo slips and pens. 【答案】26. D 27. C 28. D 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们记录信息的方式的变化。 【26题详解】 根据第二段内容“people wrote on animal bones and turtle shells…They carved words on them”，人们是在动物骨头和龟壳上刻字，因此代词“them”指代的是前文提到的“animal bones and turtle shells”。 【27题详解】 根据第三段“However, bamboo slips were heavy and took up a lot of space.”可知，竹简笨重且占据很大空间，这是人们后来不再主要使用它的原因。 【28题详解】 根据第四段“Most importantly, knowledge could spread more easily.”可知，造纸术发明后，知识传播变得更容易，这意味着更多的人能够学习到新知识。 【29题详解】 通读全文，文章依次使用了“Long, long ago”（很久以前）、“Later”（后来）、“Then”（然后）、“In modern times”（在现代）、“Nowadays”（如今）等表示时间的词语，清晰地按照时间顺序介绍了记录信息方式的变化。 【30题详解】 文章第一段提出主题“Chinese people have used many different ways to record information”，随后按时间顺序介绍了从甲骨文、竹简、造纸术到现代电子产品的演变过程。因此，文章主要讲的是中国记录信息方式的变化。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Everyone wants to be treated politely.

Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more delicious and much cheaper watermelons. 【答案】36. afford 37. because 38. famous 39. largest 40. naturally 41. introduced 42. prefer 43. popular 44. reports 45. spent 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，解释了为什么中国人吃西瓜最多而外国人吃得少的原因：国外西瓜价格昂贵，而中国因土地广阔、气候适宜、产量大、科学家吴明珠长期培育等因素，西瓜价格低且口感好。 【36题详解】 句意：这不是因为外国人不喜欢西瓜，而是因为他们“买不起”。根据上下文，外国西瓜贵，所以“负担不起”，can’t afford意为“买不起”。 【37题详解】 句意：你知道为什么吗？那是因为它们在大多数国家太贵了。解释原因，用because引导表语从句。 【38题详解】 句意：西瓜也因在日本和韩国价格昂贵而闻名。be famous for意为“因……而闻名”，西瓜因价格贵而闻名，符合语境。 【39题详解】 句意：根据联合国粮农组织的数据，中国现在是世界上最大的西瓜生产国和消费国。large的最高级为largest，表示“最大的”。 【40题详解】 句意：由于产量大，价格自然低得多。修饰lower，用副词naturally，意为“自然地”。 【41题详解】 句意：但西瓜不像在中国那样被早早引入。西瓜是“被引入”的，用过去分词introduced。 【42题详解】 句意：当地人更喜欢其他比西瓜更早为人所知的水果。描述一般事实，用一般现在时，主语复数，动词用原形prefer。 【43题详解】 句意：因此，西瓜不像其他水果那样受欢迎。as...as中间用形容词原级，popular意为“受欢迎的”。 【44题详解】 句意：第三，根据一些报道，外国的西瓜可能味道不佳。report意为“报道”，some后接可数名词复数reports。 【45题详解】 句意：她一生致力于改进西瓜种植。固定搭配spend time on sth.，此处为现在完成时，spend的过去分词为spent。 四、读写结合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求) Would you rather get energy from black coal or from the sun, wind, and water? Many countries are now using new energy. It’s clean, safe, and will never run out. Around the world, people are finding creative ways to “catch” nature’s power! In Germany, many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their roofs. The sun gives them free electricity and hot water. Some schools even use solar power to light up their classrooms. In the United States, big wind farms stand on open hills or even in the sea. The wind spins (旋转) the tall fans, and the spinning makes electricity. One windmill (风车) can power hundreds of homes. In China, the Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝) is one of the biggest power stations in the world. It uses moving water to make electricity. When water rushes down, it turns huge machines. Millions of families get their power from this “water power.” In Iceland, people dig deep into the earth to get hot water and steam. This is called geothermal (地热) energy. The hot water from underground heats their houses and swimming pools all year round. Even when it’s cold outside, their homes stay warm. In Brazil, some cars don’t use gas. They run on a special thing made from plants. This is called biofuel. It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh. These smart ideas show us that we don’t have to pollute the Earth to get energy. With new energy, we can live better and protect our beautiful planet at the same time. Every small step can make a big difference! 1. Why is new energy good for us? List two reasons. __________________46__________________ (列举2项，不超过9词) Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Places Activities Germany Families put solar panels on their roofs to ___47___ (不超过3词). The United States People use windmills to make electricity. China The Three Gorges Dam can provide electricity by ____48____ (不超过3词). Iceland People make good use of geothermal energy. Brazil People use biofuel because it ______49______ (不超过10词). 5. What can we learn from the last sentence “Every small step can make a big difference!” _____________________50_____________________ (结合自身实际，不超过20词) 【答案】46. It’s clean and safe. 47. get free electricity 48. using moving water 49. burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh 50. We should take small actions to protect the environment. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了德国、美国、中国、冰岛和巴西等不同国家利用新能源（如太阳能、风能、水能等）的情况及其好处，倡导人们保护地球。 【46题详解】 文章第一段写明新能源“It’s clean, safe, and will never run out.”，要求列举2点、不超9词，因此填It’s clean and safe。 【47题详解】 第二段德国部分原文“The sun gives them free electricity and hot water.”，题目不超3词，安装太阳能板目的是获取能源，因此填get free electricity。 【48题详解】 第四段中国三峡“It uses moving water to make electricity.”，不超3词，因此填using moving water。 【49题详解】 第六段巴西原文“It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh.”，不超10词，因此填burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh。 【50题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中新能源环保的事实，结合自身日常节约能源的实际，合理作答即可。 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 假如你是王贝，正作为交换生在英国的一所学校学习，学校社团正在招募成员，根据招新海报，你可以： 1. 选择一个社团，并结合自身优势说明加入的理由； 2. 你希望从社团学到什么； 3. 你可以为社团做什么。 注意： 1. 根据上图所给提示，适当发挥； 2. 文中不得出现真实姓名和校名； 3. 词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 To: Wills@Hilltop school.com From: Wang Bei@student.com Dear Mr.Wills, I’m Wang Bei from China.
