A. by B. to C. with 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——最近我听说油价上涨了2%。——对。所以我们最好少开车。 by相差，通过；to到，向；with和，带有。increase by意为“增长了……”，侧重变化的幅度；increase to意为“增长到……”，侧重最终的结果。根据语境可知，此处表示油价上涨的幅度是2%，而非最终价格变为2%。应填by。 2. —It is raining so hard. I can ________ see anything in front of the car. —Let’s stop on the roadside for a while. Better safe than sorry. A. probably B. seriously C. hardly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——雨下得这么大。我几乎看不到车前面的任何东西。——让我们在路边停一会儿。安全总比后悔好。 probably可能；seriously严肃地；hardly几乎不。根据“It is raining so hard”可知雨势很大，导致视线受阻，表示“几乎不”能看到东西符合语境。应填hardly。 3. —Look! How tidy our school hall is! —Yeah. The volunteers ________ it carefully to welcome the new students. A. will clean B. have cleaned C. are cleaning 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——看！我们学校大厅多么整洁啊！——是的。为了迎接新生，志愿者们已经仔细打扫过了。 根据前一句“How tidy our school hall is!”(现在很整洁)可知，打扫的动作已经完成，并且强调对现在的影响，应用现在完成时。应填have cleaned。 4. —Our school has done some useful things to ________ students’ needs. —Yes. And some of them have worked well. A. control B. satisfy C. support 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们学校做了一些有益的事情来满足学生的需求。——是的。其中一些效果很好。 control控制；satisfy满足；support支持。根据“students’ needs”可知，此处是指满足学生的需求，satisfy students’ needs意为“满足学生的需求”，符合语境。 5. —Bad luck!

President Xi encourages all Chinese people to plant trees ________ our country can be greener and more beautiful. A. so that B. even though C. as if 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：习主席鼓励全体中国人民植树造林，以便我们的国家能变得更绿、更美。 so that以便，为了（引导目的状语从句）；even though即使，虽然（引导让步状语从句）；as if好像，仿佛（引导方式状语从句）。根据句意，植树是为了达到“国家更绿更美”的目的，应用so that引导目的状语从句。故选用so that。 7. — I have never visited a paper factory. — ________. A. Neither have I B. So have I C. So I have 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我从未参观过造纸厂。——我也没去过。 Neither have I我也没有；So have I我也是；So I have我确实如此。前句含有否定词never，是否定句。表示“后者也不……”需用Neither引导的倒装结构；So引导的倒装结构用于肯定句表示“也是”；主语在前助动词在后的结构用于强调“确实如此”。根据语境可知应用Neither have I。 8. —Have you ever watched the film, Panda Plan? —Not ________. I will watch it this weekend. A. already B. yet C. ever 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你曾经看过电影《熊猫计划》吗？——还没。我这周末将会看它。 already已经；yet还，尚；ever曾经。根据“Not ________”及后句“I will watch it this weekend”可知，此处是现在完成时的否定回答，表示“还没有”，常用固定搭配Not yet。 9.

I’d like you to ________ me with some useful information about it. A. offer B. give C. provide 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你要去海南度假吗？——是的。我想请你给我提供一些关于那里的有用信息。 offer提供（offer sb. sth.或offer sth. to sb.）；give给（give sb. sth.或give sth. to sb.）；provide提供（provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb.）。句中结构为“…me with some useful information”，只有provide符合搭配“provide sb. with sth.”。故选用provide。 13. —Where are Lucy and Linda? —They ________ a restaurant for lunch.

A. mainly B. immediately C. suddenly 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：贝蒂昨晚太累了，以至于她上床躺下后就立刻睡着了。 mainly主要地；immediately立刻，马上；suddenly突然地。根据“Betty felt so tired last night”可知，因为太累，所以躺下后应该是立刻睡着了，应用immediately。 15. —Do you know ________? —It takes a little time to watch one, and it’s an easy way to kill time. A. how people make short videos B. why short videos become popular C. what we can do with short videos 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道短视频为什么变得流行吗？——看一个视频花费的时间少，而且它是一个打发时间的简单方法。 how people make short videos人们如何制作短视频；why short videos become popular为什么短视频会流行；what we can do with short videos我们能拿短视频做什么。根据答语“It takes a little time to watch one, and it’s an easy way to kill time.”可知，这是在解释短视频受欢迎的原因，对应选项B中的why。应填why short videos become popular。 Ⅲ.完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 When wheelchair-bound (坐轮椅的) Justin Skeesuck told his best friend, Patrick Gray, that he’d like to trek (跋涉) 500 miles through the Pyrenees Mountains and deserts of northern Spain, the idea seemed ____16____. “I’ll push you,” Gray said gladly. “ ____17____ is impossible for a brave heart,” added Gray.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了残疾人Justin在好友帮助下，克服艰难完成徒步旅行，并帮助其他残疾人的励志故事。 【16题详解】 句意：当坐轮椅的Justin告诉好友他想跋涉500英里时，这个想法似乎很疯狂。 根据“When wheelchair-bound...trek 500 miles”可知，坐轮椅的人长途跋涉是不切实际的，应用crazy。funny“有趣的”；relaxing“放松的”，均不符。 【17题详解】 句意：对于一个勇敢的心来说，没有什么是不可能的。 根据“is impossible for a brave heart”可知，勇敢能战胜困难，强调没有困难能阻挡勇敢的心，双重否定表肯定，应用Nothing。Something“某事”；Everything“一切”，均不符。 【18题详解】 句意：我有两个选择。 根据“I could choose...or I could choose...”可知，面前有两条路可选，应用choices。suggestions“建议”；decisions“决定”，均不符。 【19题详解】 句意：我相信我仍然可以做些事情。 根据“make the best of it”可知，虽遇不幸但积极面对，强调残疾后依旧有能力做事，应用still。just“仅仅”；ever“曾经”，均不符。 【20题详解】 句意：帮助其他像他一样的残疾人士学习旅行。 根据“like him”及前文“wheelchair-bound”可知，对象是残疾人士，应用disabled。friendly“友好的”；brave“勇敢的”，均不符。 【21题详解】 句意：他向朋友寻求帮助，因为他想尝试这个想法。 根据“turned to his friends for help”可知，目的是实施计划，寻求帮助是为了实践想法，应用try out。give up“放弃”；deal with“处理”，均不符。 【22题详解】 句意：最艰难的部分是第二天翻越山脉时。 根据“4000-feet ascent...lasted for 10 miles”可知，路程辛苦，上坡路程长且陡，是最困难阶段，应用hardest。safest“最安全的”；fastest“最快的”，均不符。 【23题详解】 句意：因此Gray不得不背着Skeesuck。 根据“ascent...10 miles”及后文轮椅故障可知，需要体力辅助移动，朋友需背负同伴前进，应用carry。stop“停止”；leave“离开”，均不符。 【24题详解】 句意：幸运的是，一个陌生人伸出了援手。 根据“something wrong with Justin’s wheelchair, a stranger came to their help”可知，困境中得到帮助是幸运地，应用Luckily。Rapidly“迅速地”；Suddenly“突然地”，均不符。 【25题详解】 句意：有了爱，奇迹就会发生！ 根据“amazing things can happen”可知，表示条件或伴随状态，应用with。for“为了”；from“来自”，均不符。 Ⅳ.阅读理解（共两节，25小题；满分45分） 第一节 阅读下面A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） A 26.

With our eyes closed, we drew a name of a classmate from a basket. We should do nice things for our friends without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave encouraging notes or cards on their desks or in their schoolbags. Soon, the task was turned into a competition (比赛) of giving gifts instead of notes. Everyone was getting cool presents except me. I received nothing but cards with nice words about me. On the last morning, I finally got a gift. When I opened it, the girls around all laughed. It was perfumed powder (香粉), an “old lady” gift. My face went red. I tried to forget about the gift, but when the girls talked about it again in the bathroom, I joined in, “How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed and left the bathroom. Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers as I thought about my words. I regretted saying them to fit in with the girls. “I’m your secret friend.” It was Rachel. “I’m sorry about the gift,” she said to me in a low voice. From a poor family she was often laughed at by those with rich parents. Yet she just bore everything silently. I was sick to my stomach as my hurtful words ran through my mind. She heard everything. How could I be so cruel? Later I learned that she felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum gave up her only luxury (奢侈品). I told her that I only said those things to try to fit in. “We aren’t that different from each other, are we?” she smiled. Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine. 31. What task did the teacher give to them? A. Helping their deskmates with their study. B. Sharing lunch with one of their classmates. C. Drawing a picture of one student in their class. D. Doing nice things for a classmate secretly. 32. Which of the following cards might the writer have received during the week? A. B. C. D. 33. Why did the writer say those hurtful words? A. Because she thought the gift was cheap. B. Because she tried to fit in. C. Because she hated those girls. D. Because she wanted to be special. 34. How did the writer feel when she heard Rachel say “I’m sorry about the gift”? A. Sorry. B. Pleased. C. Angry. D. Proud. 35. What can we know from the text? A. Perfumed powder is a good gift for grandmothers. B. Rachel was brave enough to tell the girls the truth. C. The perfumed powder was the best gift Rachel could give. D. The writer wanted to be the most popular student in their school. 【答案】31. D 32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者所在班级进行“秘密朋友”活动，作者收到了一份“老式”礼物——香粉，在背后嘲笑这份礼物时被赠送者Rachel听到，事后作者深感愧疚，最终两人和解的故事。 【31题详解】 由第一段“We should do nice things for our friends without letting them know who was doing it”可知，老师的任务是秘密地为一位同学做好事。 【32题详解】 由第二段“I received nothing but cards with nice words about me”可知，作者收到的卡片上是关于她的赞美之词。选项D的内容“You are beautiful inside and out .”属于赞美之词，符合作者收到的卡片类型。 【33题详解】 由第四段“I regretted saying them to fit in with the girls”可知，作者说那些伤人的话是为了融入那些女孩。 【34题详解】 由第七段“I was sick to my stomach as my hurtful words ran through my mind”可知，当作者听到Rachel道歉时，她对自己的言行感到愧疚（sorry）。 【35题详解】 由第八段“her mum gave up her only luxury”可知，Rachel的妈妈放弃了自己唯一的奢侈品来买这份礼物，因此香粉是Rachel能给出的最好礼物，C项正确。由第四段和第五段“It was perfumed powder, an ‘old lady’ gift... ‘How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t even want it’”可知，作者和其他女孩认为香粉是老奶奶用的礼物，连奶奶都不想要，因此并非“好礼物”，A项错误；由第五段“I‘m your secret friend... I’m sorry about the gift”可知，Rachel只对作者私下说了自己是秘密朋友，并未公开告诉其他女孩，因此B项错误；文中提到作者说伤人的话是为了“fit in with the girls”（融入女孩们），并非想成为全校最受欢迎的学生，D项错误。 C If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happier? Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music. Others may go for a walk or do some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The children were divided into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things. During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). Cortisol is a stress hormone (激素). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises (增加) in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs. According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way, which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer. 36. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To give us a surprise. B. To lead in the topic. C. To shock the readers. D. To show the latest research results. 37. What made the testing results of the three groups different? A. The time. B. The age. C. The activity. D. The place. 38. Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress (x) and cortisol levels (y)? A. B. C. D. 39. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Trainers. B. Students. C. Scientists. D. Dogs. 40. What may the scientists study next? A. More useful ways to lower stress. B. New skills of keeping pets at home. C. The amount of time to play with a dog. D. The most suitable kind of dog to play with. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于与狗玩耍能否降低学生压力的研究：将学生分为三组（与狗玩耍组、运动放松组、无活动组），通过测量皮质醇水平发现，与狗玩耍组的学生压力水平最低。 【36题详解】 第一段先提出“在学校感到压力时如何让自己更快乐”的问题，列举了一些常见方法，然后引出“与狗玩耍”这一新研究发现。因此本段的作用是“引出话题”。 【37题详解】 由第二段“The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer.”和“The second group spent the same amount of time doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things.”可知，三组学生的区别在于进行的“活动”不同：第一组与狗及其训练师玩耍，第二组做运动放松，第三组什么都不做。因此导致测试结果不同的是“活动”。 【38题详解】 由第三段“The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body”可知，压力越大，皮质醇水平越高，两者呈正相关关系。图中A表示正相关。 【39题详解】 前一句提到“students enjoy playing with dogs”（学生们喜欢和狗玩耍）。随后说“it helps them become happier”（这帮助“他们”变得更快乐）。因此，“them”指代的是前文提到的“students”（学生们）。 【40题详解】 由最后一段“Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer”以及前一句提出的问题“Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time?”可知，科学家接下来将研究“与狗玩耍的最佳时长”。 D Otters (水獭) are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafes” are open. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these photos and videos hide the damage (损害) that the online trade (交易) is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many threats — they have long been caught for their coats, in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters. In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. But 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers. When they are kept as pets by people, they do not live full and natural lives. Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. These animals also need enough space to swim. Their owners’ bathtubs (浴缸) or pools can never be as large as the bodies of water in the wild. On the other hand, otters are not good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people. If an otter hurts a person, he or she needs to go to hospital at once. So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online. 41. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. The ways of buying otters online. B. The advantages of playing with otters. C. The popularity of keeping otters as pets. D. The importance of having a special pet. 42. What does the underlined word “threats” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A. 比赛 B. 忧虑 C. 威胁 D. 成就 43. What do we know about otters in the wild? A. They live in family groups of up to 15. B. They don’t need enough space to swim. C. Baby otters never stay with their mothers. D. Fishermen kill them for their great coats. 44. Which is NOT the true reason why otters don’t make good pets? A. They may attack people. B. They may make loud noises. C. They have a special fishy smell. D. They need to go to hospital often. 45. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To tell people the otters’ living habits. B. To teach people how to keep a pet otter. C. To introduce the look of the otters. D. To call on people to stop the otter pet trade. 【答案】41. C 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了水獭作为宠物的流行现状，指出宠物贸易对水獭的伤害，并呼吁人们停止水獭宠物交易、拒绝分享相关内容。 【41题详解】 根据第一段第二句“These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular.”（如今，养水獭作为宠物正变得流行）以及后续提到的日本水獭咖啡馆和印尼人们与水獭游泳的例子，可知本段主要讲述养水獭作为宠物的流行趋势。 【42题详解】 根据第二段画线词后的解释“— they have long been caught for their coats... killing otters... big problem”，可知野生水獭面临的是危险境地。因此“threats”意为“威胁”。 【43题详解】 根据第四段第二句“They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild.”，可知选项 A 正确。选项 B 与文中“need enough space”相反；选项 C 与文中“stay with their mothers during their first year”相反；选项 D 中渔民杀水獭是为了防止它们吃鱼，而非为了皮毛（皮毛是泛指被捕杀的原因）。 【44题详解】 根据第五段，水獭有鱼腥味(对应 C)、会制造噪音(对应 B)、甚至攻击人(对应 A)。文中提到“If an otter hurts a person, he or she needs to go to hospital”，是指人受伤后需要去医院，而不是水獭需要经常去医院，且这不是水獭不适合做宠物的直接特征原因。 【45题详解】 根据文章最后一段“So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online.”，可知作者写作的主要目的是号召人们停止水獭宠物交易。 第二节 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。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E You have lots of things you'd like to do. But sometimes it's hard to get to the finish line-just like your goal. How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones? ___46___ Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help. ● I can't get away from screens. ___47___ If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead. Take a book to your room or your violin to the backyard. Or ask if you can help cook in the kitchen. ● ___48___ Start with "showing up. " Then take one small step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another. For example, how do I practice the piano? First sit at it. Then play one note at a time. Starting with a super-simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action. ___49___ ● I have no time. Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal? Let's suppose you want to be singer. ___50___ Talk with a parent about why your goal counts. Discuss whether you can let go of something less important to free up time to achieve it. A. Then keep taking steps. B. I can't start such a huge goal. C. And how can you try to reach your goals? D. To change a habit, try changing where you spend your time. E. Is it more important to practice singing than play video games? 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. E 【解析】 【分析】生活中我们有很多想做的事情，但有时候却很难到达终点。怎样才能改掉坏习惯，养成好习惯呢？文章中列举了一些学生们不好的习惯，并对如何改掉这些习惯提出了建议。 【46题详解】 上句话“How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones?”提出问题，下句话“Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help.”引出文章主旨。C选项也提出了问题，与上面的问题衔接，符合语境。故选C。 【47题详解】 根据下句话“If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead.”可知，想要改掉总是躺在沙发上看电视的习惯，就去别的地方。D选项“要改变一种习惯，试着改变你花费时间的地方”符合语境，故选D。 【48题详解】 根据下文“Start with "showing up. " Then take one small step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another.”可知，这个是建议学生们从“到场”开始，然后完成一个小任务，接着再做另一件、另一件。由此可猜测，这个做法应该是针对那些不能完成一个大目标的学生的。故选B。 【49题详解】 根据语境“Starting with a super-simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action.”可知，先从简单的步骤开始，接下来要继续采取步骤，一步一步，最后才能实现目标。A选项符合语境，故选A。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal?”可知，这个建议是看看你如何支配时间，这些选择是否表明什么对你来说是重要的？这里用想成为歌手举例，那就要问问自己“是练习唱歌重要，还是玩游戏重要”，E选项符合语境，故选E。 Ⅴ.情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据情景提示，完成下列各题。 51. 你想知道福州的人口有多少，可以这样问： _________________________________ of Fuzhou? 【答案】What’s the population 【解析】 【详解】想要知道福州有多少人口，用询问人口的常用句型What’s the population of...? 故填What’s the population。 52. 你在向你的朋友介绍家乡泉州，并请他（她）一定要来游玩一次，你可以这样说： My hometown Quanzhou is really a wonderful city. __________________. 【答案】 Please come and visit it./ You are welcome to visit it./ I hope you can come and visit it. 【解析】 【详解】本题语境是向朋友介绍家乡泉州，并发出邀请请对方来游玩。前半句“My hometown Quanzhou is really a wonderful city.”已经表达了家乡很美，后半句自然应承接发出邀请。根据题干要求“请他（她）一定要来游玩一次”，需要使用表示邀请或建议的句型，有“Please come and visit it.”（请来参观它），或者“You are welcome to visit it.”（欢迎来参观），以及宾语从句“I hope you can come and visit it.”（我希望你能来参观）。 53. 你见到了多年未见的老朋友，你想说好久不见了，可以这样说： _____________________________. 【答案】 Long time no see 【解析】 【详解】题干设定的场景是“见到了多年未见的老朋友”，想要表达的意思是“好久不见了”。在英语中，对应“好久不见”这一含义的常用固定交际用语是“Long time no see”。 54. Michael分享他在国庆节期间的旅游经历，你想感叹这次经历真精彩，可以这么说： _____________________________! 【答案】 What a wonderful experience 【解析】 【详解】根据题干要求“感叹这次经历真精彩”，可知需要使用感叹句。 感叹句的中心词是“经历”（experience），属于名词。当中心词为名词时，应用What引导感叹句（结构为：What + a/an + 形容词 + 名词 + 主谓！）。“精彩的”译为wonderful，“经历”译为experience。在此处experience指“一次经历”，是可数名词单数，wonderful是以辅音音素开头，故前面加冠词a。 55. 多亏了朋友的帮助，你才按时完成了工作，你可以这样对朋友说： _________________, I finished the work on time. 【答案】 Thanks to your help 【解析】 【详解】在表达感谢时，表示“多亏了……”的短语是“Thanks to”。本句陈述感谢的原因，空格处需填入介词短语作状语，后接逗号与主句分隔，故可填Thanks to your help。 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. since 2010 ____________________________ 57. last night ____________________________ 58. like, spare ____________________________ 59. already, finish ____________________________ 60. learn, for one month ____________________________ 【答案】56. He has been an engineer since 2010. 57. They played chess last night. 58. She likes playing volleyball in her spare time. 59. He has already finished his homework. 60. She has learned English for one month. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片信息，主语是“他（He）”，职业是“工程师（engineer）”，since 2010表示从2010年开始并持续到现在的状态，因此该句时态为现在完成时，结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，“成为工程师”这个状态从2010年持续至今，且主语为第三人称单数，故用has been。完整句子为：He has been an engineer since 2010.（他从2010年起就是一名工程师了。） 【57题详解】 根据图片信息，主语是“他们（They）”，动作是“下棋（play chess）”，last night（昨晚）表示动作发生在过去，因此该句时态为一般过去时，动词play需使用其过去式played。完整句子为：They played chess last night. （他们昨晚下棋了。） 【58题详解】 根据图片信息，主语是“她（She）”，动作是“打排球（play volleyball）”，提示词like（喜欢）和spare（业余的）表明这是一个描述个人喜好的句子，因此时态为一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，所以动词like需变为likes，like后面常跟动名词形式playing。完整句子为：She likes playing volleyball in her spare time. （她喜欢在业余时间打排球。） 【59题详解】 根据图片信息，主语是“他（He）”，动作是“完成（finish）”，提示词already（已经）通常与现在完成时连用，表示动作已经完成。现在完成时的结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，主语是第三人称单数，故用has，finish的过去分词是finished。完整句子为：He has already finished his homework.（他已经完成他的作业了。） 【60题详解】 根据图片信息，主语是“她（She）”，动作是“学习（learn）”，for one month（一个月）表示动作持续了一段时间，并可能仍在继续，因此该句时态为现在完成时，结构为“have/has + 过去分词”。主语是第三人称单数，故用has，learn的过去分词是learned。完整句子为：She has learned English for one month.（她学英语已经一个月了。） 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、音标或所给单词的提示，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 Chongyang Festival is a Chinese traditional festival.

The main purpose of the material is to ________ in the zoo. A. protect the wild animals B. stress the importance of safety C. provide choices of transportation D. introduce the activities and rules B Our teacher gave us a task called “secret (秘密的) friends” for the coming week. With our eyes closed, we drew a name of a classmate from a basket. We should do nice things for our friends without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave encouraging notes or cards on their desks or in their schoolbags. Soon, the task was turned into a competition (比赛) of giving gifts instead of notes. Everyone was getting cool presents except me. I received nothing but cards with nice words about me. On the last morning, I finally got a gift. When I opened it, the girls around all laughed. It was perfumed powder (香粉), an “old lady” gift. My face went red. I tried to forget about the gift, but when the girls talked about it again in the bathroom, I joined in, “How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed and left the bathroom. Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers as I thought about my words. I regretted saying them to fit in with the girls. “I’m your secret friend.” It was Rachel. “I’m sorry about the gift,” she said to me in a low voice. From a poor family she was often laughed at by those with rich parents. Yet she just bore everything silently. I was sick to my stomach as my hurtful words ran through my mind. She heard everything. How could I be so cruel? Later I learned that she felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum gave up her only luxury (奢侈品). I told her that I only said those things to try to fit in. “We aren’t that different from each other, are we?” she smiled. Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine. 31. What task did the teacher give to them? A. Helping their deskmates with their study. B. Sharing lunch with one of their classmates. C. Drawing a picture of one student in their class. D. Doing nice things for a classmate secretly. 32. Which of the following cards might the writer have received during the week? A. B. C. D. 33. Why did the writer say those hurtful words? A. Because she thought the gift was cheap. B. Because she tried to fit in. C. Because she hated those girls. D. Because she wanted to be special. 34. How did the writer feel when she heard Rachel say “I’m sorry about the gift”? A. Sorry. B. Pleased. C. Angry. D. Proud. 35. What can we know from the text? A. Perfumed powder is a good gift for grandmothers. B. Rachel was brave enough to tell the girls the truth. C. The perfumed powder was the best gift Rachel could give. D. The writer wanted to be the most popular student in their school. C If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happier? Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music. Others may go for a walk or do some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The children were divided into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things. During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). Cortisol is a stress hormone (激素). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises (增加) in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs. According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way, which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer. 36. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To give us a surprise. B. To lead in the topic. C. To shock the readers. D.

People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these photos and videos hide the damage (损害) that the online trade (交易) is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many threats — they have long been caught for their coats, in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters. In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. But 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers. When they are kept as pets by people, they do not live full and natural lives. Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. These animals also need enough space to swim. Their owners’ bathtubs (浴缸) or pools can never be as large as the bodies of water in the wild. On the other hand, otters are not good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people. If an otter hurts a person, he or she needs to go to hospital at once. So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online. 41. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. The ways of buying otters online. B. The advantages of playing with otters. C. The popularity of keeping otters as pets. D. The importance of having a special pet. 42.

They don’t need enough space to swim. C. Baby otters never stay with their mothers. D. Fishermen kill them for their great coats. 44. Which is NOT the true reason why otters don’t make good pets? A. They may attack people. B. They may make loud noises. C. They have a special fishy smell. D. They need to go to hospital often. 45. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To tell people the otters’ living habits. B. To teach people how to keep a pet otter. C. To introduce the look of the otters. D.
