You can make use of the CO2 produced by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction to blow up your balloon! What you’ll need: Balloon About 40 ml of water (a cup is about 250 ml so you don’t need much) Soft drink bottle Juice from a lemon 1 spoon of baking soda Instructions: Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. Pour the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. Add the baking soda and mix it with water. Quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle after you put the lemon juice in. What’s happening? Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction and produces CO2. It rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape from the balloon. It pushes your balloon outwards and blows it up. Then, the balloon can be inflated and you make it! 11. What should you do before doing the experiment? A. Drink some juice. B. Blow up the balloon. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一个利用小苏打和柠檬汁发生化学反应产生二氧化碳来吹起气球的趣味科学实验，包含实验所需物品、操作步骤以及实验原理。 【11题详解】 文章“Instructions”部分“Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.”表明实验前需要拉长气球。 【12题详解】 文章“What’s happening?”部分“It pushes your balloon outwards and blows it up. Then, the balloon can be inflated and you make it!”表明二氧化碳会向外推动气球，把气球吹胀。这样气球就充满了气，你就完成实验啦！inflate意为“充气”。选项A“He will inflate the football before the game starts.”意为“比赛开始前他会给足球充气”符合词义。 【13题详解】 文章“Instructions”部分的步骤：第一步：“Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long”对应步骤c；第二步：“Pour the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.”对应步骤a；第三步：“Add the baking soda and mix it with water.”对应步骤b；第四步：“after you put the lemon juice in”对应步骤e；第五步：“Quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle”对应步骤d。因此顺序为c-a-b-e-d。 【14题详解】 文章“What’s happening?”部分“Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction and produces CO₂.”表明向小苏打中加入柠檬汁会发生化学反应并产生二氧化碳。 【15题详解】 本文主要介绍趣味科学小实验，最可能出现在儿童趣味科学上。 B Come to learn Swedish (瑞典语). It seems challenging, but it could be easier if you are a good English speaker. The two languages have a lot more in common than you think. The Swedish alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet, but has three more letters: Å, Ä and Ö. Although some letters, like O and Ö look alike, they are actually different. Take the Swedish words “lov” and “löv” as an example. The word “lov” can refer to holidays while “löv” translates to “leaves”. Many words are close in Swedish and English. “Bok” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “book”; “äpple” is an easy change to “apple” and “man” and “piano” are the same in both languages. However, there are special suffixes, such as “-en” and “-t”, to stand for “the” in English. For example, “boken” in Swedish means “the book” in English. Another similarity is the word order. It’s often possible to directly translate sentences between the two languages. One big difference is that Swedish always puts the verb in the second place of a sentence. Although in English sentences, words like “always” or “hardly” often appear in the second place, Swedish is very strict about that verb-second rule and will put them after the verb. There are many reasons that make Swedish hard, but with your English learning experience, you'll find it easier. 16. Which sign below is written in Swedish? A. B. C. D. 17. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By explaining the results. B. By raising questions. C. By comparing differences. D. By listing numbers. 18. According to the passage, what is the meaning of the Swedish word “pianot”? A. Piano. B. Pianos. C. A piano. D. The piano. 19. To say “I always eat apples” in Swedish, which of the following shows the right way to place the verb “äter (eat)”? A. B. C. D. 20. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To introduce the history of Swedish. B. To show Swedish is not so difficult to learn. C. To tell the writer’s own Swedish learning experience. D. To explain the difference between English and Swedish. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了瑞典语与英语在字母、词汇、词缀和语序等方面的相似之处，旨在说明对于英语学习者来说，瑞典语并不像想象中那么难学。 【16题详解】 第二段指出“The Swedish alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet, but has three more letters: Å, Ä and Ö”，因此瑞典语中会出现这三个特殊字母，选项中带有Å、Ä或Ö的单词应为瑞典语。 【17题详解】 第二段通过对比“O”和“Ö”的区别，并以“lov”和“löv”为例说明字母不同会导致词义不同，因此作者是通过比较差异的方式展开论述的。 【18题详解】 第三段指出“there are special suffixes, such as ‘-en’ and ‘-t’, to stand for ‘the’ in English”，并以“boken”意为“the book”为例。因此“pianot”中的“-t”后缀表示定冠词“the”，故“pianot”意为“the piano”。 【19题详解】 第四段指出“Swedish always puts the verb in the second place of a sentence”且“words like ‘always’ or ‘hardly’... will put them after the verb”。因此“I always eat apples”译为瑞典语时，动词“äter”应在第二位，“always”应在动词之后，对应选项C。 【20题详解】 文章开篇指出瑞典语“seems challenging, but it could be easier if you are a good English speaker”，结尾总结“with your English learning experience, you’ll find it easier”，因此作者写作目的是说明瑞典语对英语学习者来说并不那么难学。 Ⅳ. 任务型阅读（33~35小题，每小题2分；36小题3分，共9分） Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives. In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web. Tim was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. And then he made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers after he finished college. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today! 21. Did Tim Berners-Lee invent the internet in 1989? ________________________________________________ 22. How did Tim make his first computer? ________________________________________________ 23. Why do we call Tim “the most important but least famous inventor in the world today”? ________________________________________________ 24. Do you think inventors should sell their inventions or give them away? Why? ________________________________________________ 【答案】21. No, he didn’t.  22. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. 23. Because his invention, the World Wide Web, has greatly changed our lives and is very important to the world. However, he is little-known and never made money from it—he gave the World Wide Web away for free. 24. I think inventors should give away great inventions for public use. Because it can allow more people to benefit from the invention and promote social progress, just like what Tim did. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了万维网发明者蒂姆·伯纳斯-李的生平、发明过程以及他免费分享发明的高尚品格。 【21题详解】 第三段提到“In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW)”，是万维网（WWW)，而不是互联网（Internet），因此作否定回答。 【22题详解】 第二段提到他21岁时用一台旧电视机制造了他的第一台计算机“made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21”，答案是原文直接信息。 【23题详解】 第一段提到“his invention has changed our lives”，最后一段提到“Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing...least famous inventor”，因此他的发明改变了世界，但他免费分享且不太出名，整合信息作答。 【24题详解】 开放题，答案不唯一。需表达自己对发明者是否应该出售或免费分享发明的看法并说明理由，合理即可。 Ⅴ. 用所给词的正确形式填空。（每空1分，共6分） 25. It was suggested by the doctor that he ________ (avoid) drinking too much yesterday. 【答案】 avoid 【解析】 【详解】句意：医生建议他昨天应当避免过量饮酒。在“It was suggested that ...”句型中，suggest意为“建议”，其后that引导的从句谓语动词需用虚拟语气，结构为“(should)+动词原形”，其中should常被省略，故填avoid。 26. The process of the ________ (produce) is not as easy as you think. 【答案】 production 【解析】 【详解】句意：生产的过程并没有你想象的那么简单。空格前有定冠词the，介词of后需要名词作宾语，produce的名词形式为production。 27. Last week. the shoes with lights ________ very well, so they ________ out quickly. (sell) 【答案】 ①. sold ②. were sold 【解析】 【详解】句意：上周，这款带灯的鞋子销量很好，所以它们很快就被卖光了。第一空修饰谓语，描述鞋子本身的销售情况，用主动语态，时间状语Last week为一般过去时，sell的过去式为sold；第二空主语they指代鞋子，与sell out是被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，第二空填were sold。故填sold；were sold。 28. Alice is ________ (compete) than her sister Anna in this tennis game, so it seems that Anna is going to win. 【答案】 less competitive 【解析】 【详解】句意：在这场网球比赛中，Alice比她的姐姐/妹妹Anna竞争力更弱，所以看起来Anna快要赢了。句中出现了than，这是使用形容词/副词比较级的标志；括号内的compete是动词，需要先转化为形容词competitive，才能作表语；competitive是多音节形容词，它的比较级形式是在前面加more或less；根据后半句“Anna is going to win.”的语境，能推断出Alice的竞争力不如Anna，所以用less competitive。 29. The ________ (popular) of studying abroad has fallen recently because China is becoming stronger and stronger. 【答案】 popularity 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于中国变得越来越强大，出国留学的热度近来有所下降。句中空格前有定冠词The，空格后接介词of，此处需要填入名词作句子主语。popular是形容词，其名词形式为popularity，故填popularity。 Ⅵ. 完成句子。（第42-45题每空1分，第46题2分，共10分） 30. Did Bi Sheng invent the movable type printing after trying many times? (改为被动语态) ________ the movable type printing ________ by Bi Sheng after trying many times? 【答案】 ①. Was ②. invented 【解析】 【详解】句意：毕昇经过多次尝试后发明了活字印刷术吗？原句是由助动词Did引导的一般疑问句，时态为一般过去时。改为被动语态后，时态保持不变。一般过去时的被动语态疑问句结构为：Was/Were+主语+动词过去分词+by+动作执行者？被动句的主语是“the movable type printing”，视为单数，因此be动词选用Was并置于句首；实义动词invent需变为其过去分词形式invented。故填Was；invented。 31. The students were made to laugh by the performer. (对画线部分提问) ________ ________ were the students made to laugh? 【答案】 ①. By ②. whom 【解析】 【详解】句意：表演者把学生们逗笑了。划线部分the performer指人，且在被动语态句子中与介词by连用（by the performer），表示动作的执行者。对被动语态中的动作执行者（人）提问，且疑问词位于句首时，规范用法是使用By whom。 32. This invention is used to find people in a fire or an earthquake. (改为同义句) This invention is ________ ________ finding people in a fire or an earthquake. 【答案】 ①. used ②. for 【解析】 【详解】句意：这项发明被用于在火灾或地震中搜寻人员。改为同义句，可用短语be used for doing sth.“被用来做某事”，故填used；for。 33. 到目前为止，《红楼梦》已经被翻译成多种语言。 A Dream of Red Mansions has been ________ ________ many languages so far. 【答案】 ①. translated ②. into 【解析】 【详解】根据中文提示，“翻译成……”的英文固定短语是“translate into”；句中时间状语“so far”（到目前为止）是现在完成时的标志词。主语《红楼梦》与动词“翻译”之间是被动关系，因此需要使用现在完成时的被动语态，结构为“has/have been+过去分词”，translate的过去分词为translated，故填translated；into。 34. in, changes, taken, great, place, Chongqing, have (连词成句) ______________________________________________ 【答案】 Great changes have taken place in Chongqing. 【解析】 【详解】take place意为“发生”， great changes意为“巨大的变化”。have与taken搭配，构成现在完成时have taken place。本句结构为：主语 (Great changes) + 谓语 (have taken place) + 地点状语 (in Chongqing)。句首单词首字母大写，句末加上标点符号。故填Great changes have taken place in Chongqing. Ⅶ. 阅读填空 （每小题1分，共6分） 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格里填入一个最恰当的词。每空一词。 Lately, my friends text to ask if they can phone, as if an unexpected call is like appearing uninvited at my door. But why ask? If I can’t answer, I won’t. What could be simpler? I’ve never liked texting. I can’t type quickly with my thumbs. I fear texts for things such as meeting for coffee. By round five I call, deciding our final plan in seconds. The real reason I dislike texting with friends is that I need to hear their voices. It’s what keeps them close no matter how often I see them. I am lucky that one of my oldest friendships was developed before texting. Susan and I were 12 when we met, roommates in summer camp. Sharing a love for music and sports, we made friends at once. We talked and laughed into the night. It felt like we had known each other forever. We didn’t live in the same neighbourhood or attend the same schools. But on Saturday nights, we talked on the phone, picking up the threads of our friendship. Phone calls kept our friendship alive when geography separated us as adults. We phone less often now that we can text. But there’s usually more to our texts than meets the eye (表面上的). After talking for so many years, we can feel the emotions behind our quickly typed texts. I can hear Susan’s voice in my head. And she can hear mine. Still, it’s not the same. We phone when only talking will do. When making simple plans with friends, I often call even if texting is their default mode (默认模式) of communication. The worst that could happen is they won’t pick up. But if they do, their voice can fill the simplest plan with humor and warmth. Even a brief call develops familiarity and connection, speeding up our friendship. My preference for calling over texting ____35____. ★I’m not good at typing on my phone. ★I need to hear my friends’ voices to feel ____36____ to them. ★I find it quicker to decide on plans over the phone than through texting. An ____37____: my friendship with Susan. ★We were 12 when we first met at the summer camp. ★We made friends quickly due to our ____38____ interests, talking and laughing into the night as if we had known each other for a lifetime. ★Despite living in different neighborhoods and attending different schools, we kept our friendship alive through phone calls. ★Now we text more, but we can still feel each other’s emotions in our texts because we have ____39____ so many years. Conclusion ★When making plans with friends, I prefer calling over texting because I believe it develops familiarity and connection with them. Their voices can add ____40____ and warmth to any plan. 【答案】35. Reasons 36. close 37. Example 38. shared 39. talked 40. humor 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者更喜欢打电话而不是发短信的原因，并通过与好友Susan的友谊为例，说明了电话交流能更好地维系情感及增添温暖。 【35题详解】 根据文章第二段“The real reason I dislike texting with friends is that I need to hear their voice”及表格右侧列出的三点内容可知，此处是在总结作者喜欢打电话的原因。 【36题详解】 根据文章第二段“It’s what keeps them close no matter how often I see them.”可推知，听到朋友的声音能让作者感觉与他们关系亲密。 【37题详解】 根据文章第二段“I am lucky that one of my oldest friendships was developed before texting.”及随后讲述的与Susan的故事可知，这部分是作为一个例子来支撑观点。 【38题详解】 根据文章第二段“Sharing a love for music and sports, we made friends at once.”可推知，她们因为共同的兴趣很快成为了朋友，shared意为“共同的”，符合文意。 【39题详解】 根据文章第三段“After talking for so many years, we can feel the emotions behind our quickly typed texts.”可推知，因为已经交谈了很多年，所以能感知情绪，have后接过去分词构成现在完成时。 【40题详解】 根据文章第四段“But if they do, their voice can fill the simplest plan with humor and warmth.”可推知，声音能为计划增添幽默和温暖。 Ⅷ. 短文填空。（每空2分，共16分） 根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整，通顺。 The suona, which is also known as a double-reed (双簧的) woodwind instrument, ____41____ (introduce) to China from Arabia through the Silk Road as early as the 3rd century.

You can make use of the CO2 produced by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction to blow up your balloon! What you’ll need: Balloon About 40 ml of water (a cup is about 250 ml so you don’t need much) Soft drink bottle Juice from a lemon 1 spoon of baking soda Instructions: Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. Pour the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. Add the baking soda and mix it with water. Quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle after you put the lemon juice in. What’s happening?

It seems challenging, but it could be easier if you are a good English speaker. The two languages have a lot more in common than you think. The Swedish alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet, but has three more letters: Å, Ä and Ö. Although some letters, like O and Ö look alike, they are actually different. Take the Swedish words “lov” and “löv” as an example. The word “lov” can refer to holidays while “löv” translates to “leaves”. Many words are close in Swedish and English. “Bok” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “book”; “äpple” is an easy change to “apple” and “man” and “piano” are the same in both languages. However, there are special suffixes, such as “-en” and “-t”, to stand for “the” in English. For example, “boken” in Swedish means “the book” in English. Another similarity is the word order. It’s often possible to directly translate sentences between the two languages. One big difference is that Swedish always puts the verb in the second place of a sentence. Although in English sentences, words like “always” or “hardly” often appear in the second place, Swedish is very strict about that verb-second rule and will put them after the verb. There are many reasons that make Swedish hard, but with your English learning experience, you'll find it easier. 16. Which sign below is written in Swedish? A. B. C. D. 17. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By explaining the results. B. By raising questions. C. By comparing differences. D. By listing numbers. 18. According to the passage, what is the meaning of the Swedish word “pianot”? A. Piano. B. Pianos. C. A piano. D. The piano. 19. To say “I always eat apples” in Swedish, which of the following shows the right way to place the verb “äter (eat)”? A. B. C. D. 20. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To introduce the history of Swedish. B. To show Swedish is not so difficult to learn. C. To tell the writer’s own Swedish learning experience. D. To explain the difference between English and Swedish. Ⅳ. 任务型阅读（33~35小题，每小题2分；36小题3分，共9分） Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives. In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web. Tim was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. And then he made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers after he finished college. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today! 21. Did Tim Berners-Lee invent the internet in 1989? ________________________________________________ 22. How did Tim make his first computer? ________________________________________________ 23.

But why ask? If I can’t answer, I won’t. What could be simpler? I’ve never liked texting. I can’t type quickly with my thumbs. I fear texts for things such as meeting for coffee. By round five I call, deciding our final plan in seconds. The real reason I dislike texting with friends is that I need to hear their voices. It’s what keeps them close no matter how often I see them. I am lucky that one of my oldest friendships was developed before texting. Susan and I were 12 when we met, roommates in summer camp. Sharing a love for music and sports, we made friends at once. We talked and laughed into the night. It felt like we had known each other forever. We didn’t live in the same neighbourhood or attend the same schools. But on Saturday nights, we talked on the phone, picking up the threads of our friendship. Phone calls kept our friendship alive when geography separated us as adults. We phone less often now that we can text. But there’s usually more to our texts than meets the eye (表面上的). After talking for so many years, we can feel the emotions behind our quickly typed texts. I can hear Susan’s voice in my head. And she can hear mine. Still, it’s not the same. We phone when only talking will do. When making simple plans with friends, I often call even if texting is their default mode (默认模式) of communication. The worst that could happen is they won’t pick up. But if they do, their voice can fill the simplest plan with humor and warmth. Even a brief call develops familiarity and connection, speeding up our friendship. My preference for calling over texting ____35____. ★I’m not good at typing on my phone. ★I need to hear my friends’ voices to feel ____36____ to them. ★I find it quicker to decide on plans over the phone than through texting. An ____37____: my friendship with Susan. ★We were 12 when we first met at the summer camp. ★We made friends quickly due to our ____38____ interests, talking and laughing into the night as if we had known each other for a lifetime. ★Despite living in different neighborhoods and attending different schools, we kept our friendship alive through phone calls. ★Now we text more, but we can still feel each other’s emotions in our texts because we have ____39____ so many years. Conclusion ★When making plans with friends, I prefer calling over texting because I believe it develops familiarity and connection with them. Their voices can add ____40____ and warmth to any plan.
