一、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
A
One rainy afternoon, I was driving home alone when I saw an old man standing by the roadside. He looked worried and wet. His car had broken down and he had no idea what to do. Without thinking twice, I stopped my car and offered to help him.
It took me nearly an hour to get his car running again. The old man was so thankful that he pulled out his wallet and wanted to give me some money. I refused politely. “Just pass the kindness on,” I told him. “When you see someone in trouble someday, please give them a hand.” He nodded with a big smile and drove away.
A few days later, I went to a busy cafe to have lunch. After ordering my food, I found I had left my wallet at home. I felt so embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain it to the waiter. Just as I was about to leave, a young lady sitting next to me stopped me. She paid for my meal without asking for anything in return.
I was surprised and asked why she did that. She told me a story. On a rainy day, an old man helped her fix her bike on her way to work. He didn’t accept any payment, but told her to keep spreading kindness. “I’m just doing what I was told,” she said warmly.
At that moment, I realized kindness was like a chain. It travels from one person to another quietly. We may never know where it starts or where it ends, but small acts of love can go far and warm the whole world.

Many people think that helping others is just doing good things for free. But for most volunteers, it is a special journey full of growth. Last summer vacation, my friends and I took part in a volunteer program to help kids in a mountain village.
The village was far away and the roads were not smooth. It took us three hours to get there. The local children lived a simple life and some of them had no extra money to buy storybooks or stationery. Before we set off, we collected lots of books, pens and notebooks from our schoolmates. During the days we stayed there, we divided ourselves into small groups. Some of us taught the kids English and math; some organized interesting games to cheer them up. I was in charge of telling stories and drawing pictures with the younger kids. They were quiet and shy at first, but soon they laughed and played happily with us.
We only stayed there for a week, but the experience left a deep impression on all of us. We used to complain about our busy life and strict parents. After seeing those hard-working kids, we realized how lucky we were. Helping others makes us understand the true meaning of happiness. We have decided to keep on doing such volunteer work in the future.

C
Amber is a special kind of fossil formed by ancient plant resin (树脂). For thousands or even millions of years, it has kept the secrets of nature well. Looking at a piece of amber is just like opening a window to the distant past.
Long long ago, many kinds of pine and fir trees produced thick, sticky resin. When the weather was hot, the resin flowed down the tree trunks slowly. Sometimes small insects, tiny leaves or thin flower petals would get stuck in the soft resin. As time went by, more resin covered them completely. Later, the trees fell down and were buried under soil and stones. After millions of years of great pressure and chemical changes, the soft resin finally turned into hard, clear amber.
Most amber looks yellow or light brown. Inside it, the small creatures and plant parts remain almost the same as they were long ago. Scientists love studying amber very much. From these natural treasures, they can learn about what plants grew and what insects lived on the Earth millions of years ago. It is hard for us to get such clear and complete information from other fossils.
However, real wild amber is not easy to find today. People cut down too many ancient trees and damage natural environments. The places where amber forms are also being destroyed. Now more and more people have realized the problem. They are trying their best to protect forests and wild plants, so that nature can keep recording its wonderful stories for future generations. Amber is not just a beautiful stone. It is a silent historian of nature. Every small thing inside it tells us how our planet changed step by step. If we want to keep these timeless secrets alive, protecting nature is always the most important thing for all of us.
11. What is amber made from?
A. Ancient tree resin. B. Hard stones in the forest. C. Dry wood and dead leaves.
12. What may be trapped inside amber according to the passage?
A. Big wild animals. B. Insects and plant parts. C. Different kinds of fruits.
13. Why do scientists study amber?
A. To make beautiful handicrafts.
B. To know about ancient plants and insects.
C. To find more valuable stones underground.
14. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Amber usually appears in bright red.
B. It takes hundreds of years to form amber.
C. Amber helps people learn about ancient nature clearly.
15. The underlined word “timeless” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. 短暂的 B. 永恒的 C. 虚假的
D

The nurse’s face fell. “I’m sorry, dear,” she replied, “but we don’t have any left. You’ll have to draw a grey butterfly instead.”

Leah’s story teaches us that even the smallest acts of kindness can ____28____ huge change. You don’t need to be strong or healthy to make a difference.

Secrets ________
1 Imagine a dinosaur in an ancient forest. It is running around, looking for its next meal. With an angry cry, it opens its mouth, raises its beautiful feather-covered arms, and...
2 Wait, feathers on a dinosaur? For hundreds of years, people believed that dinosaurs looked like huge lizards. Just look at all those dinosaurs in books, films and TV shows! However, thanks to a piece of amber, scientists now know that this idea is wrong. In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur with feathers.
3 These beautiful golden stones quietly keep pieces of the past. They can tell us dinosaurs had feathers. They also help us understand that life on earth has always changed. A piece of amber from Northern Europe, for example, holds a flower. This species no longer grows in this area. But the find proves that it did 35 million years ago. In the future, amber may also help us discover if other species have changed over time.
4 Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered. In a piece of amber from Africa, scientists found 13 ants. Research shows that they are a completely new species. Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants. Who knows whether this piece of amber will tell us more secrets?
5 As a window on the past, amber has been much studied. However, it’s still not fully understood. We should put more effort into research. Then we can use this key to unlock more secrets of nature.
56. Fill in the blank with proper words for the title.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. According to Para 3, when did the species of flower grow in Northern Europe?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What has helped discover over 300 unknown species?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
59. In Paragraph 4 the word “old beliefs” in the passage means ________. (请用中文作答)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
60. Why do you think amber is very useful in studying ancient life?
____________________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了五岁女孩Leah因在医院画蝴蝶时没有紫色蜡笔,决心为医院筹集500盒蜡笔的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:自从她还是个婴儿起,就一直来这里,与一种严重的疾病作斗争,这种疾病常常让她痛苦不堪。
Leah从小就因重病来医院,时间起点是婴儿时期,since“自从”引导时间状语从句,表示从过去持续到现在的动作。when“当……时”,after“在……之后”,均与完成时态的持续含义不符。
【22题详解】
句意:那感觉就像放弃了希望。
画灰色蝴蝶让Leah感到灰暗,felt like giving up hope“感觉像放弃了希望”,giving up“放弃”符合,动名词作宾语,表达对彩色蜡笔的渴望破灭。gave up过去式,gives up第三人称单数,均不能用于like后作宾语。
【23题详解】
句意:由于每天都有这么多新病人来看病,医院根本买不起给每个人的新蜡笔。
医院病人多、蜡笔用完即弃,没有足够资金,cannot afford to“负担不起”,afford“负担得起”符合。offer“提供”,decide“决定”,均与“买不起”的含义不符。
【24题详解】
句意:就在那时,她做了一个决定:她要为医院买500盒蜡笔。
Leah决定自己买500盒蜡笔,made a decision“做决定”,decision“决定”符合。mistake“错误”,promise“承诺”,均与“下决心”的含义不符。
【25题详解】
句意:但Leah拒绝放弃。
面对困难,Leah没有退缩,refused to give up“拒绝放弃”,give up“放弃”符合。grow up“长大”,get up“起床”,均与“坚持不放弃”的含义不符。
【26题详解】
句意:在他们的帮助下,她组织了许多活动来筹钱。
她需要钱买蜡笔,raise money“筹集资金”,raise“筹集”符合。save“节省”,borrow“借”,均与“通过活动筹钱”的方式不符。
【27题详解】
句意:她把这些孩子的希望还给了他们。
Leah的蜡笔给孩子们带来了色彩和欢乐,gave back their hope“把希望还给他们”,hope“希望”符合。time“时间”,health“健康”,均与给予的精神力量不符。
【28题详解】
句意:Leah的故事告诉我们,即使是最微小的善举也能引发巨大的改变。
Leah的行动证明了小善举能“带来”大变化,cause huge change“带来巨大改变”,cause“引起,带来”符合。prevent“阻止”,control“控制”,均与“引发变化”的含义不符。
【29题详解】
句意:有时候,你所需要的只是一颗宽广的心和为自己所相信的事情挺身而出的勇气。
Leah为彩色蜡笔勇敢行动,stand up for“挺身而出支持,维护”为动词短语,stand up“挺身而出”符合,表示为自己的信念奔走行动。speak up“大声说出”侧重发声,不强调行动,show up“出现”,均与“为信念付诸行动”不符。
【30题详解】
句意:如果我能给某人的一天增添一点色彩,那么这一切都是值得的。

B.根据所给音标或词的适当形式完成句子。(每小题1分,满分10分)
36. It took him two hours ________ (finish) the work.
【答案】to finish
【解析】
【详解】句意:完成这项工作花费了他两个小时。finish“完成”,It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间”,固定用法,动词要用不定式,finish不定式为to finish。故填to finish。
37. The boy kept ________ (ask) questions about volunteering.
【答案】asking
【解析】
【详解】句意:那个男孩不停地问关于志愿服务的问题。ask“问”,动词。keep doing sth.“一直做某事”,动词短语,此处应用动名词asking作宾语。故填asking。
38. She ________ (stop) and helped the disabled man.
【答案】stopped
【解析】
【详解】句意:她停下来帮助了那位残疾男士。根据并列谓语“helped”可知,and连接两个并列的动词,时态应保持一致,都用一般过去时。stop的过去式是stopped。故填stopped。
39. He lost his money while ________ (travel) in the mountains.
【答案】
travelling##traveling
【解析】
【详解】句意:他在山里旅行时丢了钱。while后面可以接现在分词短语,表示“在做某事的过程中”。while引导时间状语从句时,主语一致情况下省略主语和be,保留现在分词。因此动词travel应变为travelling(双写l+ing)或美式拼写traveling。
40. I wonder if it ________ (rain) this afternoon.
【答案】will rain
【解析】
【详解】句意:我想知道今天下午是否会下雨。rain“下雨”,该句是宾语从句,结合“this afternoon”可知,从句用一般将来时,结构为“will+动词原形”,故填will rain。
41. ________/dɪ’skʌvəri/ is very important in science.
【答案】
Discovery
【解析】
【详解】句意:发现在科学领域十分重要。谓语动词是is,可知本题可数名词的单数作主语,根据音标以及“ in science”和科学发现有关,可知答案为Discovery。
42. The ________ /feðə(r)/ of the bird is very beautiful.
【答案】
feather
【解析】
【详解】句意:这只鸟的羽毛非常漂亮。根据音标/feðə(r)/可知,单词为feather,意为“羽毛”,符合句意。
43. No one knows the ________ /ʌn'nəʊn/ secret.

44. The writer of the book is famous for his ________ (nature) stories.
【答案】
natural
【解析】
【详解】句意:这本书的作者因其自然题材的故事而出名。空格后是名词“stories”,需要用形容词修饰名词。单词nature的形容词为natural,故填natural。
45. Her ________ (believe) in herself makes her strong.
【答案】
belief
【解析】
【详解】句意:她对自己的信心使她变得坚强。空格前“Her” 是一个形容词性物主代词,后面需要跟一个名词作句子的主语,“believe”是动词,其名词形式是belief,不可数名词。

四、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Secrets ________
1 Imagine a dinosaur in an ancient forest. It is running around, looking for its next meal. With an angry cry, it opens its mouth, raises its beautiful feather-covered arms, and...
2 Wait, feathers on a dinosaur? For hundreds of years, people believed that dinosaurs looked like huge lizards. Just look at all those dinosaurs in books, films and TV shows! However, thanks to a piece of amber, scientists now know that this idea is wrong. In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur with feathers.
3 These beautiful golden stones quietly keep pieces of the past. They can tell us dinosaurs had feathers. They also help us understand that life on earth has always changed. A piece of amber from Northern Europe, for example, holds a flower. This species no longer grows in this area. But the find proves that it did 35 million years ago. In the future, amber may also help us discover if other species have changed over time.
4 Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered. In a piece of amber from Africa, scientists found 13 ants. Research shows that they are a completely new species. Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants. Who knows whether this piece of amber will tell us more secrets?
5 As a window on the past, amber has been much studied. However, it’s still not fully understood. We should put more effort into research. Then we can use this key to unlock more secrets of nature.
56. Fill in the blank with proper words for the title.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. According to Para 3, when did the species of flower grow in Northern Europe?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What has helped discover over 300 unknown species?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
59. In Paragraph 4 the word “old beliefs” in the passage means ________. (请用中文作答)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
60. Why do you think amber is very useful in studying ancient life?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56.
of Amber 57.
35 million years ago.
58.
Amber. 59.
旧观念。 60.
Because it can keep pieces of the past.
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了琥珀作为研究古生物的重要工具,揭示了恐龙有羽毛、新物种发现等科学秘密。
【56题详解】
文章标题需概括主旨,全文围绕琥珀揭示过去的秘密展开,因此可填“of Amber”。
【57题详解】
第三段提到3500万年前这种花曾生长在北欧“it did 35 million years ago”,答案是原文直接信息。
【58题详解】
第四段提到多亏了琥珀,超过300个未知物种被发现“Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered”,因此答案是琥珀。
【59题详解】
第四段提到“Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants.”,科学家过去认为蚂蚁来自北半球,非洲新物种的发现改变了这一旧观念,因此“old beliefs”意为“旧观念”。
【60题详解】
开放题,答案不唯一。需结合琥珀保存古生物、揭示物种变化等作用,说明其在研究古代生命中的用途,合理即可。
