He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent (表示) letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号) . The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 26. From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A. how Braille invented his system B. why Braille invented his system C. how important Braille’s invention is D. what Braille experienced in his life 27. Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A. He was born blind. B. He was a slow learner. C. He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D.

What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Braille teachers are needed. B. Listening is more important than reading. C. Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D. Computers will take braille’s place completely 30. The writer wrote this passage to ________. A. tell people to protect their eyes B. encourage children to learn braille C. show the present situation of blind people D. tell people about Braille and his great invention 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了路易斯·布莱尔发明盲文的经历、盲文的重要作用以及如今仍需要盲文教师的现状。 【26题详解】 根据前两段中“This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education.”以及“there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world”可知，盲文对盲人非常重要。 【27题详解】 根据第三段“At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier...”可知，布莱尔是在巴黎上学时遇见Barbier的。 【28题详解】 根据画线词所在句“And many people use this awesome reading system today.”可知，盲文系统至今仍被许多人使用，说明它是很棒的。awesome意为“极好的”，与amazing意思最接近。 【29题详解】 根据最后一段中“there is still a need for braille”和“It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system.”可知，作者认为仍然需要会教盲文的老师。 【30题详解】 第一段介绍布莱尔发明盲文及其重要意义；第二段介绍盲文书籍和杂志在世界各地的使用；第三、四段介绍布莱尔的个人经历和他改进点字系统的过程；最后一段说明现在仍然需要盲文和盲文教师。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了介绍布莱尔和他的伟大发明。 C The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the”marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children. 31. The Maori first arrived in New Zealand at around ________. A. 11th century B. 14th century C. 16th century D. 18th century 32. During the 19th century, the Maori ________. A. owned more land B. lost their language C. left New Zealand D. had a smaller population 33. How do the Maori keep their traditions alive? Check and choose the right answer. a.

Hold competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. A. bcde B. abcd C. abde D. acde 34. What’s the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Art B. Culture C. Travel D. Technology 35. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新西兰毛利人的历史变迁，以及他们如何在现代生活中继续传承语言和文化传统。 【31题详解】 根据文中“The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian islands about a thousand years ago.”可知，毛利人大约一千年前来到新西兰，也就是大约11世纪。 【32题详解】 根据文中“By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left.”可知，到19世纪末，毛利人人口减少了。 【33题详解】 根据文中“There are now Maori radio and television stations.”、“Many schools teach in the Maori language.”、“the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing”以及“festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing”可知，a、c、d、e都是毛利人传承传统的方式；b项“搬到新西兰中心”文中未提及。 【34题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要围绕毛利人的语言、传统、marae和节日活动展开，主题是毛利文化的传承。 【35题详解】 文章第①②段介绍毛利人的到来及经历的困难；第③④⑤段介绍毛利人如何保持语言、marae和节日等文化传统；第⑥段总结他们经历困难后仍在传承文化。文章结构为“历史背景—文化传承—总结”。 D 第二节 (每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 How to Develop Good Study Habits Most teenagers need to learn how to develop good study habits.

Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago. There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world’s leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels — the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers — before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2024 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home. Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades (十年) and then spend her time on music and painting. 41.

Who makes coffee for Mary and Frank? ___________________________________________________ 43. How does Frank work with others from home? ___________________________________________________ 44. What are the two world languages in 2050? ___________________________________________________ 45.

Chinese and English. 45. Convenient and wonderful. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了2050年Frank 一家人利用高科技设备进行的日常生活、工作以及学习场景。 【41题详解】 文章第一段“Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news.”，他们打开电脑的目的是为了获取新闻，因此答案是原文直接信息。 【42题详解】 第四段“As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them.”，是家用机器人在煮咖啡，因此答案是原文直接信息。 【43题详解】 第四段“Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world.”，他是通过视频会议与他人一起工作的。故填By joining a video conference。 【44题详解】 第七段“Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English.”，2050 年的两种世界语言是汉语和英语，可直接提取答案。 【45题详解】 第六段“classrooms disappeared...communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home”及第七段“They communicate by computer.”，说明路易斯的生活非常便捷舒适。答案将这两点整合为Convenient and wonderful。 Ⅴ. 情景交际 (共两节，满分15分) 第一节 情景对话 (每小题1分，共5分) 根据对话内容，从下面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 (William is calling to make an appointment with the receptionist to see Dr. Kim.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了William想预约看Kim医生，打电话给接待员，两人就此展开对话。 【46题详解】 对话开头接待员自报家门后，通常询问来电者的需求。B项“How can I help you?”符合电话接待场景。 【47题详解】 根据下文William的回答“William Jenson”可知，此处接待员是在询问他的姓名。C项“What is your name, please?”符合语境。 【48题详解】 接待员随后询问“Can you come in at 11:15?”，而最终预约确认在周五，说明此处是先提议周四的时间。F项“I can get you an appointment this Thursday.”引出具体时间，符合逻辑。 【49题详解】 William表示希望安排在下午，接待员随后提出一个新的时间，且下文确认了预约时间为“15:30 on Friday”。G项“Would you be able to come in on Friday at 15:30?”与后文一致。 【50题详解】 预约时间确认后，接待员通常会告知就诊注意事项。E项“Please come about 15 minutes early.”是合理的就诊提示，且下文William表示感谢并接受。 第二节 根据情景提示，写出符合情景的句子。 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 51. 参观博物馆时，你想了解电话是什么时候发明的，可以这么问讲解员： ________________________________________________? 【答案】When was the telephone invented 【解析】 【详解】想了解电话是什么时候发明的，可以用一般过去时的被动语态提问“When was the telephone invented?” ，when “什么时候”；telephone “电话”；invented “发明”，此处用被动语态be invented是因为电话是“被发明”的，主语是动作的承受者。 52. 你感叹篮球是如此伟大的发明，你会这么说： Basketball is ________________________________________________! 【答案】such a great invention 【解析】 【详解】该句子用于抒发感慨，赞叹篮球是一项了不起的发明。“such a/an + 形容词 + 单数可数名词”是经典句式，此处“such a great invention” 对应 “如此伟大的一项发明”。 53. 你想告诉父母，你对成为一名职业足球运动员这件事是认真的，你会这么说： I am ________________________________________________ being a professional basketball player. 【答案】serious about 【解析】 【详解】根据语境，此处表达对成为职业足球运动员这件事态度认真。英语中表达“对……认真”的固定搭配是“be serious about (doing) sth.”。 54. 小组讨论时，你认为青少年可以有兼职工作，可以这么表达： I think teenagers can ________________________________________________. 【答案】have part-time jobs 【解析】 【详解】题干中文提示“你认为青少年可以有兼职工作”，横线处需填入表示“有兼职工作”的英文短语，句中can是情态动词，其后必须接动词原形，“兼职工作”的英文表达为part-time jobs，“有”或“做”常用动词have。 55. 听完朋友的观点后，你表示赞同，你会这么说： ________________________________________________ 【答案】I can’t agree more. 【解析】 【详解】 根据语境，此处是听完朋友观点后表达完全赞同的场景，“同意”是agree，在英语中用“否定词+比较级”的结构来强化语气，因此可以填I can’t agree more. Ⅵ.看图写话 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. (allow, library) ________________________________________________ 57. (belong) ________________________________________________ 58.

We are not allowed to smoke in the library. 57. This coat belongs to Jack. 58. The camera is used for taking photos. 59. There are two boys playing football. 60. I like potato chips which are crispy. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“allow, library”可知，本句应表达为“我们不被允许在图书馆吸烟”。本句是一般现在时被动语态结构，主语“We”后接“are not allowed”构成被动否定语态；动词不定式短语“to smoke”作主语补足语；“in the library”是介词短语作地点状语。 【57题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“belong”可知，本句应表达为“这件外套属于杰克”。本句是一般现在时的主谓结构，主语“This coat”是单数名词短语，后接谓语动词短语“belongs to”，其中“belongs”是第三人称单数形式，“to”是介词；宾语“Jack”是人名字。 【58题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“be used for”可知，本句应表达为“照相机是用来拍照的”。本句是一般现在时被动语态结构，主语“The camera”是单数名词，后接被动结构“is used for”；动名词短语“taking photos”作介词for的宾语。 【59题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“there be”可知，本句应表达为“有两个男孩在踢足球”。本句是there be存在句型，主语“two boys”是复数，be动词选用“are”；现在分词短语“playing football”作后置定语修饰boys，描述正在进行的动作。 【60题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“crispy”可知，本句应表达为“我喜欢酥脆的薯片”。本句是一般现在时主谓宾结构，主语“I”后接谓语动词“like”；宾语“potato chips”是复数名词短语；定语从句“which are crispy”修饰先行词potato chips，“crispy”是形容词在从句中作表语。 Ⅶ.短文填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 The willow branch (树枝) is a part of the willow tree. In ancient China, willow branches were often ____61____ (use) as a parting gift between friends and family members. Even today, willow branches are mentioned in many ____62____ (case), as a symbol of saying goodbye. Do you know ____63____? One reason is that willow trees are strong. They can live ____64____ (easy) in any place, wet or dry, north or south. ____65____ of this, giving a will ow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will get used to ____66____ (they) new living environment. For another reason, the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu (柳) ” is similar ____67____ the character “liu (留) ” in Chinese, which means inviting someone to stay—only the tones are different. So ____68____ (offer) a willow branch means asking the other party to stay for a longer time, even though we know that they must leave. It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was ____69____ common place to say goodbye. People often ____70____ (stop) there and handed willow branches to people who were leaving. 【答案】61. used 62. cases 63. why 64. easily 65. Because 66. their 67. to 68. offering 69. a 70. stopped 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在中国古代，人们用折柳枝来送别亲友的习俗及其背后的原因。 【61题详解】 句意：在中国古代，柳枝经常被用作朋友和家人之间的离别礼物。分析句子结构，主语willow branches与动词use之间是被动关系，且前面有助动词were，所以用过去分词构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填used。 【62题详解】 句意：甚至在今天，柳枝在许多情况下被提及，作为道别的象征。分析句子结构，many修饰可数名词复数，case是可数名词，其复数形式为cases。故填cases。 【63题详解】 句意：你知道为什么吗？分析句子结构，前文提到柳枝作为道别的象征，后文解释了原因（One reason is that... For another reason...），结合语境可知此处是问“为什么”。故填why。 【64题详解】 句意：它们可以很容易地在任何地方存活，无论潮湿还是干燥，无论北方还是南方。分析句子结构，设空处修饰动词live，需要用副词形式，easy的副词是easily。故填easily。 【65题详解】 句意：因为这个，送柳枝给爱的人道别是一种告诉他们你希望他们能习惯新生活环境的方式。分析句子结构，固定搭配because of意为“因为，由于”，后接代词this，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Because。 【66题详解】 句意：……你希望他们将习惯他们的新生活环境。分析句子结构，设空处修饰名词短语new living environment，需要用形容词性物主代词，they的形容词性物主代词是their。故填their。 【67题详解】 句意：……柳树“柳”的发音与汉字“留”相似……分析句子结构，固定搭配be similar to意为“与……相似”。故填to。 【68题详解】 句意：因此，送一根柳枝意味着请求对方多留一段时间……分析句子结构，设空处在句中作主语，表示一种行为，应用动名词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填offering。 【69题详解】 句意：在那个时候，灞桥，长安（今天的西安）的一座桥，是一个道别的常见地方。分析句子结构，place是可数名词单数，此处泛指“一个常见的地方”，common以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【70题详解】 句意：人们经常停在那里，把柳枝递给将要离开的人。分析句子结构，根据语境和并列谓语handed可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，stop的过去式是双写字母p再加ed。故填stopped。 Ⅷ.书面表达 (满分15分) 71. 槟中初三年段开展了以“Should students be allowed to use smart phones on weekdays?”为主题的讨论，下表为讨论结果，请你根据表格内容写一篇短文向年段公众号投稿，表述讨论结果并阐述你对该主题的观点及理由。 Opinions Reasons 32% agree 1. help to relax 2. some useful apps ... 68% disagree 1. a waste of time 2. unhealthy for body and mind ...

A. a guide B. a report C. a novel D. an ad B Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent (表示) letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号) . The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 26. From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A. how Braille invented his system B. why Braille invented his system C. how important Braille’s invention is D. what Braille experienced in his life 27. Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A. He was born blind. B. He was a slow learner. C. He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D. His system was more difficult to use than Barbier’s. 28 The underlined word “awesome” has the closest meaning to “________”. A. humorous B. amazing C. terrible D. impolite 29. What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Braille teachers are needed. B. Listening is more important than reading. C. Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D. Computers will take braille’s place completely 30. The writer wrote this passage to ________. A. tell people to protect their eyes B. encourage children to learn braille C. show the present situation of blind people D. tell people about Braille and his great invention C The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the”marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children. 31. The Maori first arrived in New Zealand at around ________. A. 11th century B. 14th century C. 16th century D. 18th century 32. During the 19th century, the Maori ________. A. owned more land B. lost their language C. left New Zealand D. had a smaller population 33. How do the Maori keep their traditions alive? Check and choose the right answer. a. Increase the number of marae. b. Move to the center of New Zealand. c. Set up Maori radio and TV stations. d. Teach in the Maori language in many schools. e. Hold competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. A. bcde B. abcd C. abde D. acde 34. What’s the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Art B. Culture C. Travel D. Technology 35. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D.

Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago. There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world’s leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels — the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers — before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2024 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home. Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades (十年) and then spend her time on music and painting. 41.
