However, the 17th-century “aha moment” is actually a bit of a lie! Newton did witness an apple falling from a tree one day and this got him thinking about what actually caused the apple to fall to the ground. Newton later developed his theory of Gravity, believing that Earth has a force that pulls objects down, which prevents objects from aimlessly floating around. While we know that Isaac Newton discovered Gravity, he also made many other scientific discoveries. Newton is also credited with discovering the three laws of motion. These three laws, or principles, explain how things move. Law 1: An object at rest stays at rest. A moving object keeps moving. Objects continue doing what they’re doing unless a stronger force acts on them. Here, the stronger force is the wall. It stops the truck but not the boxes, so they keep moving forward. Law 2: It takes more force (力量) to move a heavy object than a lighter one. Newton came up with a scientific formula (公式) to explain this: Force=Mass×Acceleration (质量) (加速度) Large weights with a lot of mass require more force to lift than smaller, lighter weights do. Law 3: For every force, there is an equal reaction (相等大小的作用力) in the opposite direction. Air from an untied balloon rushes out in one direction. As the air escapes, it pushes the balloon in the opposite direction. 16. The picture in Law 1 shows that ________ . A. the boxes are a stronger force than the truck B. the truck stays at rest, but the boxes do not. C. the wall acts on the truck but not on the boxes. D. the truck moves forward, but the boxes move backward 17. The underlined word “this” in Law 2 refers to “________”. A. the law B. the force C. the object D. the formula 18. From the example in Law 2, we can know that ________ . A. adults are stronger than children B. more force is required to lift a heavier object C. the larger an object is, the faster it is to lift it D. an object moves more quickly when a heavy man lifts it 19. Which law of motion can explain the following picture? A. Law 1. B. Law 2. C. Law 3. D. Law of Force. 20. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. introduce how Newton discovered the three laws. B. provide the formulas for Newton’s laws of motion. C. explain how Newton’s laws of motion work in our life. D. encourage students to learn Newton’s laws of motion well. C Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off, everything got in quiet. I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her, and I surely felt sorry for myself. Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky. And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car window. An old sign that said: REWARD (酬谢) $500. And under that was a picture of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out. And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY. Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that little dog? “Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall. Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat. “Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I asked. Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school tomorrow.” I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing. What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car. But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn't even know where to look for it. Besides, that sign was old. somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that five hundred dollars. I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs. And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh—.” I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to myself. I had a plan… 21. Where did the writer and her family live? A. In an alley B. In a house C.

The Birth of a Plan 三、信息还原 （本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. ____26____ Relax and breathe. Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax. When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions (反应) and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease (放松). ____27____ Think and you will be prepared. ____28____ Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident. ____29____ If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears. A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. ____30____ If you make an effort, you will succeed. A. First think, and you will be prepared. B. Follow the flow of the conversation. C. Please follow the three basic steps below. D. Have you ever heard the old saying “Think before you speak”? E. You and the other person will have fun chatting with each other. F. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. G.

Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts. The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders! The school lies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish. “I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.” Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals—many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill. After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization that helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts. Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth. “I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’” Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. “Our own town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.” 51. Why are some artworks shown at the Lillian M. Jacobs School special? ________________________________________________ 52. What did Derek realize when he collected rubbish? ________________________________________________ 53. How does rubbish hurt sea animals? ________________________________________________ 54. What did students do after cleaning the beach? ________________________________________________ 55. What do you think about the students’ activities? Why? ________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 56. 文明从点滴做起，城市因你我美丽。近期，无锡市蝉联“全国文明城市”，无锡市民在日常生活中践行树文明之风、创文明之城的精神。无锡教育电视台将于暑期举办以“How to be a civilized (文明的) middle school student?”为主题的英语口语大赛，请你为此写一篇演讲稿。 内容应包含以下要点： ●Public behavior: follow traffic rules;... ●Voluntary work: help the elderly;... ●Green lifestyle: save water;... ●Summer plan: read more books;... 注意： 文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称； 内容要点作适当发挥； 词数90左右，短文开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 How to be a civilized middle school student The summer holiday is coming soon!

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述志愿者老师去山村支教，起初担心学生，后被内向女孩用灯笼温暖，体现了志愿互助、双向光明的主题。 【1题详解】 句意：我兴奋地要去这里的一所小学校教书，但有点紧张。 前文说excited，后文问“这些学生会是什么样？”，说明内心有不确定和紧张。nervous“紧张”正确。bored“无聊”、relaxed“放松”、surprised“惊讶”与担心语境不符。 【2题详解】 句意：大多数学生很安静，但是他们在课间跑着笑着。 前后句意转折，though可表让步转折，意为“虽然……但是……”，正确。so“所以”、since“因为”、when“当”无法构成转折关系。 【3题详解】 句意：第一天上课，我与他们分享了一张写着“你被看见”的海报并把它贴在墙上。 根据“put it up on the wall”，poster“海报”符合贴在墙上的行为。dictionary“字典”、cake“蛋糕”、cup“杯子”通常不贴墙上。 【4题详解】 句意：然而，温没有抬头看。 根据后文“drawing circles on the desk”，她只是用手指在桌上画圈，说明没有抬头看老师或海报。look up“抬头看”正确。stand up“起立”、give up“放弃”、wake up“醒来”与动作无关。 【5题详解】 句意：课程被仔细地计划了。 根据老师努力教学，可知备课仔细。carefully“仔细地”符合备课的认真态度。slowly“慢地”、directly“直接地”、finally“最终”不符备课态度。 【6题详解】 句意：我不确定是否在做有意义的事。 根据“effort seemed to make little difference”，可知怀疑价值。meaningful“有意义的”符合作者对支教价值的怀疑。simple“简单”、interesting“有趣”、popular“受欢迎”不符语境。 【7题详解】 句意：是温，她手里拿着一个灯笼。 根据后文“gave me the lantern”，可知是lantern“灯笼”。book“书”、candle“蜡烛”、lamp“台灯”与后文呼应不符。 【8题详解】 句意：第二天，她坐得更近了。 根据关系拉近，可知坐得近。closer“更近”符合关系改善。farther“更远”、lower“更低”、longer“更长”不符关系变化。 【9题详解】 句意：“这样你就总会有一些光了，”她温柔地笑了。 根据灯笼功能及主题“give light”，可知是light“光”，与灯笼呼应。fun“乐趣”、time“时间”、hope“希望”不如light直接。 【10题详解】 句意：我来给予光，却发现光被悄悄地归还了。 根据“shining in both directions”，可知光被回馈。returned“归还”符合双向给予的寓意：作者原本想给予光，但最终女生把灯笼送给作者，相当于把光还给了他，象征善意被回馈。received“收到”没有回馈的含义，accepted“接纳”也不够贴切。connected“连接”不准确。 二、阅读理解 阅读短文，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） A 11. These pictures are most likely from a ________. A. daily newspaper B. growth diary C. news report D. story book 12. Which of the following pictures means “seedling”? A. B. C. D. 13. How much time passed between planting and seeing the pink strawberries? A. Over 2 months. B. Over 1 month. C. About 2 weeks. D. About 1 week. 14. What role does the net play in Week 4? A. To help keep the soil wet. B. To stop the wind from blowing it away. C. To help the plant grow faster. D. To stop birds from eating the plant. 15. What can you learn from the pictures? A. Strawberries grow inside red flowers. B. Pink strawberries taste better than the red ones. C. Growing strawberries takes a long time and requires care. D. Each strawberry plant can only grow one strawberry at a time. 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一组草莓生长过程的记录图片，主要展示了从种植到收获的各个阶段，包括播种、发芽、幼苗生长、开花、结果和成熟等环节。 【11题详解】 文章以“Week 1”“Week 4”“Week 6”为时间线索，按周记录草莓的生长变化，内容为第一人称的观察记录，因此最可能来自“生长日记”。 【12题详解】 第一周（Week 1）原文明确指出：“We take the seedling out from the pot, and put it into the hole, give it water and compost!”，说明第一周的内容涉及从花盆中取出“幼苗”进行移栽，对应图A。 【13题详解】 根据内容，种植在第1周，粉色草莓出现在第6周，间隔为5周，即超过1个月，不到2个月，B选项符合描述。 【14题详解】 根据Week 4的原文“Many birds also like to eat strawberries. Then the net plays an important role, which can keep them away"可知，网的作用是阻止鸟类吃草莓。 【15题详解】 全文记录了从栽种幼苗到收获草莓的完整过程，历时数周，期间需要浇水、施肥、防鸟等，说明种植草莓需要较长时间和细心的照料。 B We’ve all heard about the man who discovered gravity (重力) and the apple that fell from a tree and hit him on the head.

Which law of motion can explain the following picture? A. Law 1. B. Law 2. C. Law 3. D. Law of Force. 20. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. introduce how Newton discovered the three laws. B. provide the formulas for Newton’s laws of motion. C. explain how Newton’s laws of motion work in our life. D. encourage students to learn Newton’s laws of motion well. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文纠正了牛顿被苹果砸头的不实传闻，介绍了万有引力，再结合实例通俗讲解牛顿三大运动定律及其原理与现实应用。 【16题详解】 原文Law 1配图注释原文“Here, the stronger force is the wall. It stops the truck but not the boxes, so they keep moving forward.”墙施加外力作用在卡车上使其停下，但没有作用在箱子上，对应C选项。 【17题详解】 原文Law 2中“It takes more force to move a heavy object than a lighter one. Newton came up with a scientific formula to explain this” ，this指代前一句话表述的第二条运动定律内容。 【18题详解】 原文Law 2末尾“Large weights with a lot of mass require more force to lift than smaller, lighter weights do.”质量大的重物相比轻便物体，需要更大的力才能抬起，和B选项表述完全对应。 【19题详解】 原文Law 3中“For every force, there is an equal reaction in the opposite direction.”两人互相推对方，受到反向等大的力而分开，符合牛顿第三定律作用力与反作用力规律。 【20题详解】 文章先纠正苹果砸头的小故事，介绍万有引力，随后逐条讲解牛顿三大运动定律，并搭配生活实例解释每条定律的实际应用，写作目的是阐释三大定律在生活中如何发挥作用。 C Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷).

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了小女孩Georgina和妈妈、弟弟住在汽车里。她看到一张悬赏500美元寻找小狗Mitsy的启事后，萌生出找到小狗换钱来改善家庭住宿条件的计划。 【21题详解】 原文第一句“Mama pulled the car into a small alley”和第三段“I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky.”，以及后文“instead of this dirty old car”，都说明她们住在车里。 【22题详解】 第二段提到Luanne“lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up”后说“I surely felt sorry for myself”，将自己与Luanne的舒适条件对比，突出自己的艰难。 【23题详解】 “my mind started racing”后接着她想到“ What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car.”，畅想着能够拥有一个真正的住处，能够说明她充满希望和兴奋。 【24题详解】 倒数第五段“I could get that money”和结尾“I had a plan…”表明她计划找到Mitsy获得赏金。“that sign was old”说明启事是旧的；“on a telephone pole”说明启事不在墙上；“That dog could be anywhere. I wouldn’t even know where to look”说明狗不太容易找到。 【25题详解】 全文围绕作者看到启事后产生计划展开，结尾点明“I had a plan…”，准确概括故事核心。 三、信息还原 （本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. ____26____ Relax and breathe. Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax. When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions (反应) and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease (放松). ____27____ Think and you will be prepared. ____28____ Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident. ____29____ If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears. A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. ____30____ If you make an effort, you will succeed. A. First think, and you will be prepared. B. Follow the flow of the conversation. C. Please follow the three basic steps below. D. Have you ever heard the old saying “Think before you speak”? E. You and the other person will have fun chatting with each other. F. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. G. This will help you practise what you already know about how to communicate well. 【答案】26. C 27. G 28. D 29. B 30. F 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了有效沟通的三个基本步骤：放松呼吸、提前思考、顺着对话自然进行，并强调通过努力可以掌握沟通技巧。 【26题详解】 根据第一段末尾“Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is.”以及下文给出的三个小标题，空白处应总起下文，引出具体步骤。选项C“Please follow the three basic steps below.”能够承上启下，引出下文的具体建议。 【27题详解】 根据“Relax and breathe.”段落中“Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease.”可知，空白处应说明放松呼吸对沟通的帮助，即有助于练习已有的沟通技巧。选项G“This will help you practise what you already know about how to communicate well.”符合段落逻辑。 【28题详解】 根据“Think and you will be prepared.”标题及后文“Well, it is true.”可知，空白处应引出一句关于“三思而后言”的俗语。选项D“Have you ever heard the old saying ‘Think before you speak’?”符合逻辑，后文的“it”指代该俗语，逻辑衔接紧密。 【29题详解】 空白处所在位置为一个小标题，且后文内容为“If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse… follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.”可知，本段建议顺着对话的流动，不要冷场。选项B“Follow the flow of the conversation.”准确概括了本段主旨。 【30题详解】 根据前文“A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves… thinking very highly of you.”和后文“If you make an effort, you will succeed.”可知，空白处应起承上启下的作用：先指出学习沟通技巧并非遥不可及，再鼓励努力。选项F“Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.”符合逻辑，与后文“If you make an effort, you will succeed.”构成因果关系。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 四、词汇运用（本大题10分，每小题1分，共10分） (A)根据句意和中文注释，写出所给单词的正确形式。 31. We should never ________ (欺骗) our classmates whatever difficulties we meet. 【答案】cheat 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论遇到什么困难，我们都绝不应该欺骗同学。根据汉语提示，这里需要填表示“欺骗”的英文单词，should是情态动词，后面要跟动词原形。“欺骗”对应的英文单词是cheat。 32. Reporters prepare lots of questions before important face-to-face ________ (访谈). 【答案】interviews 【解析】 【详解】句意：记者们在重要的面对面访谈之前，会准备大量的问题。“访谈”对应的英文单词就是interview；这里表示复数概念（记者会在多场重要的面对面访谈前准备问题），所以用复数形式interviews。 33. I drove ________ (到另一侧) the bookstore and met my old friend by the road. 【答案】past 【解析】 【详解】句意：我开车经过书店，在路边遇到了我的老朋友。“past”是介词，意为“从一侧到另一侧，经过”，常与drive等动词搭配，表示从某物旁边经过，故填past。 34. The whole class finished their group project ________ (有成效地) before the holiday. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：整个班级在假期前有成效地完成了他们的小组项目。空格处需要填一个副词，修饰动词finished，作状语。句中before the holiday提示动作已完成，说明项目已经“有成效地、成功地”完成了，successful的副词形式是successfully，符合句意。故填successfully。 35. No one was ________ (缺席的) from the school charity activity last Friday. 【答案】absent 【解析】 【详解】句意：上周五的学校慈善活动没有人缺席。根据中文提示“缺席的”，对应英文形容词absent，be absent from为固定搭配，意为“缺席……”。 (B)根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 36. An unexpected power cut left the whole flat in total ________ (dark) last night. 【答案】darkness 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨晚突如其来的停电让整间公寓陷入一片漆黑。 空格前的“total”是形容词，后面需要接名词，所以要把形容词“dark”变为名词形式“darkness”，构成固定搭配“in total darkness”表示“完全漆黑”。 37. The restaurant's dishes are so ________ (taste) that lots of customers revisit it. 【答案】tasty 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家餐厅的菜如此美味，以至于很多顾客再次光顾。“taste”的形容词形式为“tasty”，表示“美味的”，在句中作表语，符合“so + 形容词 + that...”的结构，因此填tasty。 38. Our tour guide gave a short ________ (introduce) about the palace’s history before visiting. 【答案】introduction 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的导游在参观前简短介绍了宫殿的历史。空格前有“a short”，提示需要填名词。introduce是动词，其名词形式为introduction，意为“介绍”。故填introduction。 39. Don’t be too ________ (patient) with kids; they need more time to learn new rules. 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要对孩子太不耐烦；他们需要更多时间来学习新规则。根据句意“Don’t be too”及所给词patient可知，此处需填其反义词，impatient意为“不耐烦的”。 40. Among all the players, the swimmer has the ________ (strict) daily training plan. 【答案】strictest 【解析】 【详解】句意：在所有运动员中，这位游泳运动员有最严格的日常训练计划。根据句首“Among all the players”可知，范围是三者或以上，应用形容词最高级，strict的最高级为strictest。 五、动词填空 根据句意，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 41. The shop owner will mail the goods as soon as she ________ (receive) your payment. 【答案】receives 【解析】 【详解】句意：店主一收到你的付款就会邮寄货物。as soon as引导的时间状语从句中，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，主语she为第三人称单数，故填receives。 42. Food prices ________ (rise) sharply in the past several weeks in this small town. 【答案】have risen 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去几周里，这个小镇的食品价格急剧上涨。时间状语“in the past several weeks”提示动作从过去持续到现在，对现在有影响，应用现在完成时。主语“Food prices”为复数，助动词用have，rise的过去分词是risen。故填have risen。 43. Warm coats ________ (donate) to mountain children right after we knew their hard life. 【答案】were donated 【解析】 【详解】句意：得知山区孩子们的艰苦生活后，保暖外套立刻被捐赠给了他们。句子中“Warm coats”与“donate”之间是被动关系，且时间状语“after we knew...”表明时态为一般过去时，主语为复数，因此用一般过去时的被动语态“were donated”。 44. Every student promises ________ (finish) daily homework independently on time. 【答案】to finish 【解析】 【详解】句意：每个学生承诺独立按时完成每日作业。动词promise后常跟不定式，构成固定搭配promise to do sth.，意为“承诺做某事”。故填to finish。 45. We need to take action quickly, for a limited time ________ (run) out day by day. 【答案】is running 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们需要迅速采取行动，因为有限的时间正在一天天流逝。“day by day”表示一个逐渐变化、正在发生的过程，因此用现在进行时强调“时间正在不断减少”，紧迫感更强，主语“a limited time”是单数，故填is running。 46. The little girl has difficulty ________ (control) her weight because of loving sweet snacks. 【答案】controlling 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个小女孩因为爱吃甜食，很难控制自己的体重。固定搭配“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”表示“做某事有困难”，此处需用动名词形式，control的动名词为controlling。 47. I promise the patient ________ (treat) as soon as all the medical resources are ready. 【答案】will be treated 【解析】 【详解】句意：我承诺一旦所有医疗资源准备就绪，病人将立即接受治疗。句中“as soon as”引导时间状语从句，从句“all the medical resources are ready”使用一般现在时表将来，遵循“主将从现”原则，主句应用一般将来时；同时，“the patient”与“treat”之间是被动关系，即病人被治疗，因此要用一般将来时的被动语态，其结构为“will be+过去分词”，“treat”的过去分词是“treated”，故填will be treated。 48. —Would you please pour me a cup of tea? —Tea? I thought you ________ (prefer) hot chocolate. 【答案】preferred 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能给我倒一杯茶吗？——茶？我原以为你更喜欢热巧克力。主句“I thought”是一般过去时，宾语从句需使用对应的过去时态，prefer的过去式需双写末尾辅音字母r再加-ed，故填preferred。 49. She ________ (expect) her friends the whole morning, but they didn’t show up. 【答案】was expecting 【解析】 【详解】句意：她整个上午都在等她的朋友们，但是他们没有出现。根据“the whole morning”以及“didn’t show up”可知，此处表示过去某个时间段一直在做某事，使用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+动词现在分词”，主语为She，be动词用was，expect的现在分词为expecting。故填was expecting。 50. —When can we use the sports facilities in the community garden? —Not until they ________ (repair) next week. 【答案】are repaired 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们什么时候能使用社区花园的体育设施？——要等到下周它们被修好之后。根据“Not until they ... next week.”可知，此处是until引导的时间状语从句，故时态应遵循“主将从现”原则，故此处应用一般现在时，且主语“they（设施）”与动词“repair”为被动关系（设施被修理）。故填​are repaired。 六、阅读表达 （本大题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过10个单词。 In January, some special artworks were shown at the Lillian M. Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts. The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders! The school lies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish. “I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.” Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals—many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill. After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization that helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts. Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth. “I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’” Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. “Our own town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.” 51.

First, we should behave politely in public. We must follow traffic rules and not litter everywhere. Voluntary work is meaningful. We can help the elderly do shopping.
