D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位父亲通过在室内和室外种植两株植物，告诉儿子成为伟大的人需要经历困难和挑战的道理。 【详解】1. 句意：父亲让儿子带上两株植物，然后让他把其中一株种在屋内，另一株种在屋外后院。 根据后文“inside the house”和“outside in the backyard”可知，这里是让儿子种植植物。应选用plant。 2. 句意：父亲问他的儿子：“你认为这两株植物中哪一株会长得更大？” 后文是儿子回答父亲的问题，说明父亲在问儿子。应选用asked。 3. 句意：屋内的植物有更好的环境，所以它会长得更大，而屋外的植物一点也不安全。 前后句是对比关系，屋里植物安全，屋外植物不安全。while“而，然而”表示对比，符合语境。 4. 句意：没有人会在那里照看它。 根据“eaten by animals”可知，屋外植物没人照顾。应选用look after。 5. 句意：父亲笑着说：“让我们耐心等待。我们会知道答案的。” 根据“We will know the answer (我们会知道答案)”及植物生长需要时间可知，需要耐心等待。应选用patiently。 6. 句意：看！屋内的这株植物没发生什么坏事，而且它现在很纤细。 根据下一段最后一句父亲解释“it didn’t get proper sunlight, so it didn't become as big (它没有得到适当的阳光，所以没有长得那么大)” ，室内植物因缺乏阳光长得纤细，thin符合语境。 7. 句意：当男孩走到外面时，他很惊讶地看到一棵更大的树。 根据“The boy couldn’t believe his eyes (男孩不敢相信他的眼睛)”，他感到非常惊讶。surprised符合语境。 8. 句意：屋外的植物经历了每一个季节并得到了充足的阳光！ 根据后文“the hot summer or the cold winter (炎热的夏天或寒冷的冬天)”，此处指经历了四季，season符合语境。 9. 句意：屋内的植物是安全的，但它没有面对炎热的夏天或寒冷的冬天。 前文说屋外的植物经历了每一个季节得到了充足的阳光，所以长得很大，由此可推知，屋内的植物被保护起来，很“安全”，不用经历酷暑寒冬，所以会长的纤细。应选用safe。 10. 句意：要成为一个伟大的人，一个人必须失败过很多次，经历许多困难并克服它们。 根据“overcome them”及前文“experienced many difficulties”的可知，此处与“失败”并列且需克服，应填difficulties(困难)。 Passage 8 Life is a Handful of Candy One sunny morning, when Einstein was going out of the office, the assistant said to him, “Someone wants to invite you to make a 1 at the weekend and the 2 is 10,000 dollars.” Einstein 3 and said he would go to tutor (辅导) math to Sophie 4 studied in a junior high school. “Can’t you cut down tutoring Sophie once?” the assistant asked. “No, I’m still thinking of her candy,” Einstein said with a smile. Was her candy so sweet? The assistant didn’t understand why he was at pains (尽心尽力) for the young girl he happened to know. You know, Sophie 5 Einstein only half of her candy. That day, seeing Einstein come back from Sophie’s home 6 , the assistant asked him why he was happy. Einstein told him, “Today, Sophie’s teacher thought highly of her 7 , saying that she had an excellent teacher. The young girl was also 8 pleased that she awarded me a handful of candy, which made me particularly happy.” Later, in Einstein’s diary, people 9 read he thought much of such a thing. It turned out that in the world-famous scientist’s eyes, the young girl’s sunny 10 and a handful of common candy were the sweetest spring that nourished (滋养) his life. 1.

The five-ton homemade vessel (大船), named “Big Black Fish”, is able to dive (潜水) to a depth of eight meters. The farmer, named Zhang Shengwu, has loved making things 2 he was young. More than 20 years ago, he built a sand dock (码头) and often watched cargo (货物) ships come and go. In 2014, after seeing a TV program about submarines, he thought, “I have 3 big ships made of steel and wood, but none that can go underwater. If others can do it, so can I.” Though his family didn’t 4 him, it didn’t stop his dream of building a submarine. He started planning how to build the submarine. As a 5 carpenter (木匠), he understood structures (结构) well. Also, working on water helped him learn about engines. “When I found out the needed 6 , the timeline became clear,” Zhang said. Zhang spent 5000 yuan on steel plates, batteries, engines, and other materials, and he started building the submarine. After six months of hard work, his first submarine was 7 . It was six meters long, 1.2 meters tall, and weighed two tons. Because it was so good, he received a national patent (专利), which is like a 8 for his invention. Still, he wanted to 9 . So he spent 40000 yuan to build a better submarine. The new submarine weighs 5 tons and can carry 7 tons. Zhang said, “It’s surprising that a small battery can power this big machine underwater. It stays 10 water-tight (不透水的) for 30 minutes and can even move backward.” Zhang hopes to build even larger submarines in the future. He also wants to teach young people to care more about protecting the country. 1. A．answered B．believed C．reported D．explained 2. A．since B．while C．until D．after 3.

Because it was so good, he received a national patent”可知，经过六个月的努力，潜艇建造完成，获得了专利，ready“准备好的”符合潜艇建造完工的语境。clean干净的；quiet安静的；proud骄傲的，均不符合完工语境。 8. 句意：因为太好了，他获得了国家专利，这就像对他的发明的奖励一样。 根据“national patent”可知，这是对发明的认可，类似于一种荣誉或奖项，prize“奖项”符合语境。hobby爱好；notice通知；dream梦想，均无法体现认可的价值。 9. 句意：尽管如此，他还是想要改进。 根据后文“So he spent 40000 yuan to build a better submarine.”可知，他想造更好的潜艇，还想进行改进，improve“改进”符合语境。succeed成功；compete竞争；prepare准备，均不符合追求更好的语境。 10. 句意：它可以保持完全不透水30分钟，甚至可以向后移动。 根据后文“water-tight (不透水的) for 30 minutes”可知，潜艇的密封性很好，完全不透水，completely“完全”符合语境。suddenly突然；naturally自然地；comfortably舒服地，修饰防水均不恰当。 Passage 10 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应选项涂黑。 A small kind action can warm the whole winter.

One of his favorites was about a boy named Sam who found a caterpillar (毛毛虫). Sam put it in a jar and 1 it every day with fresh leaves. He watched it eat, grow, and finally, form a cocoon (茧). One morning, Sam saw a small 2 in the cocoon. The butterfly was trying to get out. For a long time, it 3 hard to push its body through that tiny hole. Then, it seemed to stop. It looked stuck (卡住). Sam felt 4 for the butterfly. He wanted to help. He took a pair of scissors and carefully cut the cocoon to make the hole larger. The butterfly came out 5 . But its body was swollen (肿胀的) and its wings (翅膀) were small and twisted (扭曲的). Sam waited, but nothing changed. The butterfly 6 flew. It spent the rest of its short life crawling (爬) around with its swollen body and weak wings. Sam didn’t 7 what had happened. When he told his grandfather, the old man explained, “The struggle (挣扎) is necessary. The struggle to push through that tiny hole pushes the liquid (液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It’s the struggle that allows it to fly. By cutting the cocoon, you took away its 8 . You made it unable to fly.” This story always stays with me. It reminds us that challenges (挑战) are not here to break us. They are here to make us 9 . Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give someone is not to “save” them, but to let them find their own 10 through the hole. It is the struggle that makes us who we are. 1.

A 【导语】本文讲述了山姆发现一只毛毛虫，将其放在罐子里用新鲜叶子喂养，看着它变成茧。一只蝴蝶努力从茧里出来时，山姆用剪刀把茧剪开帮助它，结果蝴蝶却无法飞翔。祖父告诉他挣扎是必要的，这个故事提醒人们挑战能让人变得更强，有时不应直接“拯救”他人，而是让他们自己找到出路。 【详解】1. 句意：山姆把它放在一个罐子里，每天用新鲜的叶子喂养它。 根据“with fresh leaves”可知，此处表达用新鲜叶子喂养毛毛虫，fed“喂养”符合语境。played“玩”、washed“洗”、caught“抓住”均不符合用叶子对待毛毛虫的行为描述。 2. 句意：一天早上，山姆看到茧上有一个小洞。 下文提到“push its body through that tiny hole”，说明茧上有个小洞，hole“洞”符合。mark“标记”、picture“图片”、light“光”都与茧上能让蝴蝶出来的结构无关。 3. 句意：很长一段时间，它努力把身体从那个小洞里挤出去。 蝴蝶在努力从洞里出来，try hard to do sth.表示“努力做某事”，tried“努力”符合。considered“考虑”、prepared“准备”、avoided“避免”均不能体现蝴蝶从洞里出来的动作状态。 4. 句意：山姆为蝴蝶感到难过。 上文说蝴蝶看起来卡住了，所以山姆会为它感到难过，sorry“难过的”符合。happy“开心的”、proud“骄傲的”、angry“生气的”都不符合看到蝴蝶被困时的情感反应。 5. 句意：蝴蝶很容易就出来了。 山姆把茧剪开让洞变大，所以蝴蝶很容易就出来了，easily“容易地”符合。kindly“亲切地”、clearly“清楚地”、carefully“小心地”都不能体现蝴蝶出来的难易程度。 6. 句意：蝴蝶从来没有飞过。 下文说它用肿胀的身体和虚弱的翅膀爬行，说明它从来没有飞过，never“从不”符合。always“总是”、sometimes“有时”、often“经常”都与蝴蝶无法飞翔的事实不符。 7. 句意：山姆不明白发生了什么。 下文祖父解释了原因，说明山姆之前不明白，understand“明白”符合。forget“忘记”、treat“对待”、accept“接受”都不能体现山姆对这件事的状态。 8. 句意：通过剪开茧，你夺走了它的挑战。 上文祖父说挣扎是必要的，山姆剪开茧就夺走了蝴蝶挣扎的挑战，challenge“挑战”符合。food“食物”、friend“朋友”、home“家”都与蝴蝶需要挣扎才能完成的事情无关。 9. 句意：它们在这里是为了让我们变得更强。 挑战能让人变得更强，stronger“更强壮的”符合。weaker“更虚弱的”、sadder“更悲伤的”、quieter“更安静的”都不符合挑战对人的积极影响。 10. 句意：有时候，我们能给别人的最大礼物不是“拯救”他们，而是让他们自己找到出路。 此处是让对方自己找到出路，way“方法，出路”符合。time“时间”、help“帮助”、experience“经历”都不能准确表达让对方自己解决问题的意思。 三、阅读理解： Passage 15 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can improve your brain power. Researchers found learning other languages changes grey matter (灰质). This is the area of the brain which deals with information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉). The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effects are. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, took a group of Britons (英国人) who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (熟悉两种语言的人)” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans (扫描) showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. “Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link (联系) between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 1. The main subject of this passage is ________. A．the method of learning a second language B．men’s ability to learn a second language C．how language learning helps brain power D．the relationship between language and math 2. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Exercise builds muscles. B．Language learning needs exercise. C．The area of the brain deals with information. D．Learning other languages changes grey matter. 3. The underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A．easy to break B．slow to change C．able to change and think freely D．hard to control 4. Why does the writer mention the study of native Italian speakers? A．To prove that Italian is an easy second language to learn. B．To support the finding that early language learning is better. C．To show that people aged 2—34 can learn English well. D．To compare the learning styles of Italian and British people. 5. In the last two paragraphs, what does the writer try to tell us? A．Learning a second language is the same as studying maths. B．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language. C．Early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects. D．You’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. B 5. C 【导语】本文主要讲了语言学习可以提高你的智力，语言学习对大脑的促进作用比做体育锻炼能促进肌肉健全，说明语言学习对大脑的促进有类似的作用。 【详解】1. 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了英国大学的一项研究，表明学习第二语言可以增加脑力、改变大脑灰质结构，且越早学习效果越好。选项C“语言学习如何帮助脑力”最符合文章主题。 2. 根据第二段画线词前“Researchers found learning other languages changes grey matter...”以及“It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles”可知，It指代的是“学习其他语言改变脑灰质”这一现象。 3. 根据第五段画线词后的解释“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas”可知，这里的flexible指的是大脑能够灵活变化、自由思考；选项C“能够改变和自由思考”符合语境。 4. 根据第二段“The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effects are.”以及第六段“The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers...The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.”可知，提及意大利人的研究是为了佐证前文提到的“越早学习第二语言，效果越大”这一发现。 5. 倒数第二段提到教授研究了双语能力与数学技能之间的联系，指出掌握双语能使大脑更灵活；最后一段强调了越早学习越好。综合这两段内容，作者想告诉我们早期学习第二语言有助于其他学科（如数学）的学习及思维理解。 Passage 16 Eyes are important for seeing and understanding the world. They work tirelessly every day, whether you’re doing homework, watching TV, or playing sports. They are often thought to be “windows to the soul” because they can help you express your emotions from happiness to sadness. They can help you connect with others. For example, your eyes might look big and shiny when you’re happy to see someone. Scientists explain that eyes work by seeing light and helping the brain (大脑) turn this light into images (图像). Eyes are even busy when you sleep. Every night you go through a period of sleep called rapid eye movement (REM). Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast. Like any other part of your body, your eyes get tired too. When this happens, they may feel sore (疼痛) and dry, and you may not see things clearly. This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens. To keep your eyes healthy, the National Eye Institute (NEI) advises following a balanced (平衡的) diet. Doctors suggest eating a “rainbow” every day, with as many different colored fruits and vegetables as possible. If you spend a lot of time looking at screens, take breaks every 20 minutes to rest your eyes and remember to blink (眨眼). If you feel like you have trouble seeing things at school, feel free to tell your parents or teachers. 1. What does the underlined word “emotions” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Thanks. B．Feelings. C．Dreams. D．Movements. 2. Why are eyes called “windows to the soul”? A．Because they can move very fast. B．Because they work even when we sleep. C．Because they can help us see light clearly. D．Because they can help us express our emotions. 3. What happens to us during REM sleep? A．Our heartbeat slows. B．Our eyes stop moving. C．Our body temperature drops. D．Our breathing becomes faster. 4. What can make your eyes tired according to the passage? A．Getting enough sleep B．Blinking often while reading C．Looking at screens for a long time D．Taking breaks every 20 minutes. 5. What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To give advice. B．To explain reasons. C．To show problems. D．To compare differences. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了眼睛的重要性、工作原理、疲劳原因以及保持眼睛健康的建议。 【详解】1. 根据第一段划线词后的“from happiness to sadness”可知，“happiness”和“sadness”属于人的情感感受，因此“emotions”意为“情感”，与“Feelings”意思相近。 2. 根据第一段“They are often thought to be ‘windows to the soul’ because they can help you express your emotions”可知，眼睛被称为“心灵之窗”是因为它们能帮助人表达情感。 3. 根据第二段“Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast”可知，在REM 睡眠期间，眼睛会快速移动，呼吸和心跳也会变快。 4. 根据第三段“This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens”可知，睡眠不足或长时间盯着屏幕会使眼睛疲劳。 5. 最后一段指出：“To keep your eyes healthy, the NEI advises...Doctors suggest...take breaks”，说明本段主要给出保护眼睛的建议，因此写作目的是“给出建议”。 Passage 17 13-year-old Sarah sits in her yard (院子), lying out her handmade crafts (手工制品) on the table. There are baskets, flower pots, and cloth bags—all made from recycled materials. They are not just creative objects (物品); they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community. Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad. One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea. “Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money.” With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt down, but she didn’t give up. Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flower pots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks. Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly (环保的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders. This year, Sarah shared her story in the local community. “Making a greener community is important,” she said proudly. “If everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no effort is too small when it comes to caring for the environment. 1.

He was shocked. But after a while, he remembered the words he had said to his son, “No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!” So he started digging through the ruins (废墟). After a day, most of the people gave up, but the father kept on digging. 12 hours...24 hours...36 hours... then, in the 39th hour, he heard his son’s words. He shouted, “ARMAND!” His son heard back, “Dad! It’s me, Dad! I told other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive (活着的), you’d save me and when you saved me, they would be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you.’ You did it, Dad!” “How is it now?” the father asked. “There are 14 of us left among us 33 classmates, Dad. When the building fell down, it made a triangle (三角), and it saved us.” “Come out, boy!” “No. Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me!

I felt lonely and missed my old friends. One Saturday, I noticed an empty lot near our house, full of rubbish. An idea came to me: why not turn it into a garden? I told my plan to Mrs. Lee, our next-door neighbor. She was in her seventies and often sat alone on her porch (门廊). To my surprise, her eyes lit up. “I used to love gardening,” she said softly. “But after my husband passed away, I lost the heart for it.” She agreed to help. We started the next weekend. First, we cleared the rubbish. It was hard work, and my arms ached. Mrs. Lee brought tools and showed me how to turn the soil. “Patience, child,” she would say. “Good things take time.” We planted flowers and vegetables. Every afternoon after school, I would water them. Mrs. Lee taught me the names of each plant and how to care for them. Slowly, the empty lot changed. Colorful flowers bloomed, and tomatoes grew red under the sun. Neighbors began to stop by. Some brought more plants; others just smiled and said hello. One day, a little girl from down the street brought a painted rock to add to the garden. “It’s for the fairies (精灵),” she said seriously. We placed it near the roses. The garden was no longer just mine or Mrs. Lee’s—it belonged to the whole community. By summer, the garden was full of life. But more importantly, I wasn’t lonely anymore. I had made a friend with Mrs. Lee and met many neighbors. The garden taught me that beauty can grow in unexpected places, and that sometimes, helping a piece of land can also help heal (治愈) a lonely heart. 1. Why did the writer decide to turn the empty lot into a garden? A．Mrs. Lee’s request. B．Wanted to sell vegetables. C．Family wanted to grow flowers. D．Felt lonely and needed something to do. 2.

I felt lonely and missed my old friends”，作者搬到新的城镇感到孤独。 2. 第二段“But after my husband passed away, I lost the heart for it.”，丈夫去世后，她对园艺失去了兴趣。 3. 第四段“...and tomatoes grew red under the sun”，西红柿在阳光下长得通红，可推知bloom是“开花”。 4. 第一段“When I was twelve, my family moved to a new town. I felt lonely and missed my old friends”作者刚开始感到孤独；第四段“Every afternoon after school, I would water them”，作者每天下午给鲜花和蔬菜浇水，满怀期待；倒数第二段“The garden was no longer just mine or Mrs. Lee’s—it belonged to the whole community.”花园把整个社区连起来了；最后一段“But more importantly, I wasn’t lonely anymore. I had made a friend with Mrs. Lee and met many neighbors”，作者不再孤独，得到满足。D项“Lonely→hopeful→connected→satisfied”符合。 5. 最后一段“The garden taught me that beauty can grow in unexpected places, and that sometimes, helping a piece of land can also help heal (治愈) a lonely heart.”改造花园这件小事不仅让荒地变美，还治愈了作者孤独的心，把整个社区的人连接在了一起。 Passage 20 Planning a trip to Hubei?

Online sharing is a part of our daily life now. Different kinds of apps and websites make communication e 1 than before. We can share what has happened recently with others. We can also give personal opinions on what we see. The Internet c 2 us with friends, family, and even people in other countries. Sometimes, when we win a prize in a singing c 3 or do well in a test, we may share the happy news. At times, when we take photos of beautiful views, we might also post them to s 4 . However, not everything shared online is k 5 . Some can be unfriendly. Those unkind words may have unpleasant i 6 . Maybe people post things without thinking. They just want to play a joke and make others laugh. But these are not good reasons. Good shares can make the online world warm and friendly, while bad ones can bring t 7 to others. So when we want to share something on the Internet, we should ask ourselves w 8 the things we post are proper or not. Think twice b 9 sharing. We should be responsible for what we share online. Never make up o 10 spread anything that is not true. In short, always respect others’ feelings. If we can’t do that, maybe we’re not ready to share online yet. Passage 2 Chinese writer Wang Zengqi once wrote, “When I arrive in a new place…I prefer to visit the local farmers’ market to see live chickens and ducks, fresh vegetables and bright fruits. It’s lively and brings me a sense of the joy of l 1 .” Nowadays, more people feel the same as Wang. They love to explore farmers’ markets wherever they visit. These traditional markets, which used to be just local s 2 places, are attracting visitors during holidays, especially the young. They think visiting a city w 3 exploring farmers’ markets is a waste of a trip. There they can enjoy mouthwatering food, local culture and the real nature of a city. Luo Yan, a tour lover, travels around markets nationwide. He agrees these farmers’ markets are c 4 to local people’s daily life than those scenic spots and supermarkets which seem all the same everywhere. In Xi’an, he enjoyed tasty Roujiamo, w 5 in Inner Mongolia, he tasted the famous air-dried beef. The generous sellers e 6 shared some trade secrets with him. Foreign travellers, too, consider (认为) these markets as interesting w 7 into Chinese daily life. Luo Yan noticed a group of American tourists walking around a farmers’ market in Beijing. They talked with the sellers though they had difficulties with l 8 and could not stop trying local snacks. The visit left a lasting impression on those foreign visitors. They are touched by the energy of locals and the flavour of Chinese daily life. The popularity of farmers’ markets among visitors shows an important c 9 —from a focus on scenes that cover every place to deeper experiences of local life. As part of this trend, many old farmers’ markets are upgraded or set to o 10 again. One of them is the Chongwenmen farmers’ market, which was built in 1976. After 15 years of closure, it reopened to the public earlier this year. Passage 3 White Dew: The Fifteenth Solar Term (节气) You may have heard an old Chinese poem that says, “Reeds are green and white; White Dew turns into frost.” (蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜) This p 1 has been passed down for thousands of years and comes from The Book of Songs, a very a 2 Chinese book called Shijing, and it talks about White Dew—the fifteenth solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar(中国农历). White Dew usually a 3 around September 7th. When it comes, hot summer days are gone, and cool autumn starts to cover the world. As the name tells us, we can often see dew(露水)on grass and tree l 4 in the morning. At night, the air gets cold, s 5 the wet part in the air turns into small water drops(水滴).As the sun rises, these drops look white, which is why this term gets i 6 name “White Dew”. During White Dew, there are many interesting t 7 . In northern China, farmers are busy harvesting(收割) crops like corn and rice. They also get ready to plant winter wheat(小麦), which is usually sown (播种) 10 to 15 days after White Dew. In s 8 China, such as Fujian and Zhejiang, people love drinking “White Dew Tea.” This tea is picked at this time, and it smells n 9 than tea from other seasons. Eating longans (桂圆) is another p 10 tradition here—people think this sweet fruit can make their bodies stronger. Passage 4 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Today the earth is getting warmer and warmer. But hundreds of years a 1 , people had a different problem—a 400-year cold period! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were c 2 and longer than they are now. Scientists c 3 this time the “Little Ice Age” (小冰期). The colder weather b 4 many serious problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their house warm. And sometimes, a h 5 piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was caused by forces (力量) that people could not control. One cause (起因), in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are t 6 . With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less e 7 which made the earth warm. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably a 8 natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s l 9 and heat from reaching the earth. Today we are seeing the influences of rising temperature. Scientists think people are causing this change by b 10 a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living. Passage 5 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 “No man is an island.” W 1 other people, life becomes empty and sad. We all need to have friends. For some of us, though, making friends is difficult. Feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also d 2 at times to keep the friends we already have. There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, which was written in 1936, is the most f 3 . This how-to book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later translated into 28 languages. Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but it can help you. Do you need to c 4 the way you act? Here is a list of a 5 from his book. Be friendly and polite Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please” when you want to ask somebody to do something. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as h 6 as you can. Be nice to others Find some time to do some s 7 things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel much better. Remember names They say that the s 8 music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name. Be open-minded Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them. Listen patiently When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen c 9 and say something when n 10 .

Her teacher Chen Wei has started giving his s 4 an unusual lesson: self-protection. L 5 , Li had just learned how to escape from an attacker —a p 6 who plans to hurt someone. The school has t 7 self-protection for four years. During this time, about 5, 000 students have learned to how to protect themselves. According to a new survey, students’ s 8 has become a big problem. Nearly 50% students say they are w 9 about robbery on the way to and from school. This school is not the only one to care about students’ self-protection. Many other schools in China also have lessons like this. Student Wang Hui said, “I learn how to save lives and most such courses tell students how to a 10 dangerous situations.” Students practice what to do if they are attacked by a bad man. They have known how to save lives if someone is hurt. They also learn how to work together and build team-spirit. 二、完形填空： Passage 7 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One day a little boy asked his father, “What does the word ‘great’ mean?

Today our class visited the Museum of National History. We went to see the new dinosaur (恐龙) show. At first, I wasn’t 1 in seeing dinosaur skeletons (骨骼). Why would anyone want to learn about something that’s not around any more? First we walked into a big room. I saw the skeleton of a large animal. Two huge, dark holes in its head looked back at me. It was Dinosaur Sue. Our guide told us all about Sue. It is the most complete skeleton of a T. rex (霸王龙) known to man. On a hot summer day in 1990, a girl Susan from a palaeontological team found a piece of the skeleton by accident. Later, her team 2 it day and night for 17 days.

In fact, chores are very important to children’s future growth, 1 they bring many clear advantages in their later life. When children do chores, they can get a strong sense of achievement (成就) because they can see the nice 2 soon after finishing the work. Especially when their parents thank them for their help, children will feel they are 3 and play a real role in the family. This good feeling will also make them more 4 when they stay with others outside the family. What’s more, children will slowly learn that it is everyone’s duty to share housework. It helps them not to be spoiled (宠坏). Life does not 5 give us everything we want. We must work hard to make our dreams 6 true. Besides, doing chores teaches kids to 7 their time well. They learn to 8 chores into their daily life with studies and play. Time management is a very useful life skill for their growth.

The hospital provided colouring books (涂色本) for young patients. But there were never enough crayons. 3 ? Well, crayons may 4 viruses (病毒) and spread diseases. They can only be used once. Then they must be thrown away. The hospital had many new patients (病人) every day. It just couldn’t 5 new crayons for every child. Leah was born with a serious disease, and she made many hospital visits. “A lot of the time she’s in great pain,” her mum said. “But colouring has helped her get through it.” Leah didn’t want other young patients to feel her disappointment. “It can be 6 to wait for X-rays and treatments. I want them to feel good,” she said. “There must be something for me to do.” Leah planned to buy 500 boxes of crayons for the hospital. However, all her pocket money was only enough for about 40 boxes. Because of her illness, she couldn’t do housework for money, 7 . It might sound impossible, but Leah didn’t 8 . With the help of her family and friends, she held many activities to raise money. And she would always be there in her wheelchair. Word spread fast, and Leah’s story went public.

Sam put it in a jar and 1 it every day with fresh leaves. He watched it eat, grow, and finally, form a cocoon (茧). One morning, Sam saw a small 2 in the cocoon. The butterfly was trying to get out. For a long time, it 3 hard to push its body through that tiny hole. Then, it seemed to stop. It looked stuck (卡住). Sam felt 4 for the butterfly. He wanted to help. He took a pair of scissors and carefully cut the cocoon to make the hole larger. The butterfly came out 5 . But its body was swollen (肿胀的) and its wings (翅膀) were small and twisted (扭曲的). Sam waited, but nothing changed. The butterfly 6 flew. It spent the rest of its short life crawling (爬) around with its swollen body and weak wings. Sam didn’t 7 what had happened. When he told his grandfather, the old man explained, “The struggle (挣扎) is necessary. The struggle to push through that tiny hole pushes the liquid (液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It’s the struggle that allows it to fly. By cutting the cocoon, you took away its 8 . You made it unable to fly.” This story always stays with me. It reminds us that challenges (挑战) are not here to break us. They are here to make us 9 . Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give someone is not to “save” them, but to let them find their own 10 through the hole. It is the struggle that makes us who we are. 1.

A．way B．time C．help D．experience 三、阅读理解： Passage 15 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can improve your brain power. Researchers found learning other languages changes grey matter (灰质). This is the area of the brain which deals with information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉). The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effects are. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, took a group of Britons (英国人) who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (熟悉两种语言的人)” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans (扫描) showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. “Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link (联系) between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 1. The main subject of this passage is ________. A．the method of learning a second language B．men’s ability to learn a second language C．how language learning helps brain power D．the relationship between language and math 2. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Exercise builds muscles. B．Language learning needs exercise. C．The area of the brain deals with information. D．Learning other languages changes grey matter. 3. The underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A．easy to break B．slow to change C．able to change and think freely D．hard to control 4. Why does the writer mention the study of native Italian speakers? A．To prove that Italian is an easy second language to learn. B．To support the finding that early language learning is better. C．To show that people aged 2—34 can learn English well. D．To compare the learning styles of Italian and British people. 5. In the last two paragraphs, what does the writer try to tell us? A．Learning a second language is the same as studying maths. B．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language. C．Early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects. D．You’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language. Passage 16 Eyes are important for seeing and understanding the world. They work tirelessly every day, whether you’re doing homework, watching TV, or playing sports. They are often thought to be “windows to the soul” because they can help you express your emotions from happiness to sadness. They can help you connect with others. For example, your eyes might look big and shiny when you’re happy to see someone. Scientists explain that eyes work by seeing light and helping the brain (大脑) turn this light into images (图像). Eyes are even busy when you sleep. Every night you go through a period of sleep called rapid eye movement (REM). Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast. Like any other part of your body, your eyes get tired too. When this happens, they may feel sore (疼痛) and dry, and you may not see things clearly. This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens. To keep your eyes healthy, the National Eye Institute (NEI) advises following a balanced (平衡的) diet. Doctors suggest eating a “rainbow” every day, with as many different colored fruits and vegetables as possible.
