Quite ____3____ few people are trying to change others to fit their own expectations. They often think ____4____ others should perform in their way of thinking. This only creates arguments. We should focus on accepting others as they are and allowing them to express themselves ____5____. This doesn’t mean we have to agree ____6____ everything they say or do, but we should respect them although their opinions are different from ____7____. Also, we should try to be true to ourselves and not let others influence our actions or beliefs. It can be easy to fall into the situation of trying to please everyone. ____8____ true to oneself and allowing others to be themselves are not always easy but it’s worth doing so. We ____9____ a meaningful life if we accept others for who they are. All in all, the key to happiness and healthy relationships is to let yourself be yourself and let others be themselves.

A 7. C 8. B 9. C 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要阐述了做真实的自己和接纳他人的重要性。倡导尊重彼此差异，不试图改变他人，从而共创一个更美好、更包容的世界。 【1题详解】 句意：人生中最重要的道理之一就是忠于你自己。 固定结构“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”，表示“最……之一”，因此空格处需要填名词复数形式lessons；lesson为单数，lessons’是名词所有格，均不符合语法规则。 【2题详解】 句意：清楚你是谁、你信奉什么、什么能让你感到快乐是很重要的。 固定搭配believe in，意为“信任；信奉”；介词at、to不能和believe搭配表达该含义。 【3题详解】 句意：有相当一部分人总想改变别人，来符合自己的期待。 固定短语quite a few，意为“相当多；不少”，用来修饰可数名词复数；the、an不能构成该固定搭配。 【4题详解】 句意：他们常常认为别人应该按照他们的思维方式行事。 本句为宾语从句，从句句意完整、不缺成分，需要用that引导宾语从句；when表时间，why表原因，均不符合此处语法要求。 【5题详解】 句意：我们应该接纳他人本来的模样，允许他们自由地表达自我。 此处需要副词修饰动词express；free是形容词，freedom是名词，只有freely为副词，意为“自由地”。 【6题详解】 句意：这并不意味着我们必须认同他们所说或所做的一切。 固定搭配agree with，意为“同意；赞同”；agree off、agree for不属于固定短语。 【7题详解】 句意：但是我们应当尊重他们，尽管他们的观点和我们的观点不同。 此处需要名词性物主代词，相当于our opinions；us是人称代词宾格，our是形容词性物主代词，后面必须接名词，只有ours符合用法。 【8题详解】 句意：忠于自我、允许他人做自己往往并不容易，但这样做是值得的。 本句中and连接并列的动名词短语作主语，需要用动名词形式Being，“Being true to oneself”与“allowing others to be themselves”是并列关系，形式一致；Be是动词原形，Been是过去分词，均不能直接作主语。 【9题详解】 句意：如果我们接纳他人本来的样子，我们将会过上有意义的人生。 if引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，从句用一般现在时，主句要用一般将来时；lives是一般现在时，lived是一般过去时，will live是一般将来时。 【10题详解】 句意：尊重差异，我们就能创造一个更美好、包容度更高的世界。 空格后出现并列连词and，连接并列的比较级more accepting，因此此处也需要使用形容词比较级；good是原级，best是最高级，只有better是比较级，符合并列结构。 Ⅲ. 完形填空。(每小题1.5分，共15分) 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 I had my first job at the age of thirteen. I was very ____11____ to make my own pocket money. My parents ____12____ interfered (干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They ____13____ that by making money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would grow up and become more responsible. Like many American parents, my parents also let my brothers and me do things although they worried a lot. When I was sixteen, I wanted to spend the summer months ____14____ around Europe.

In the end, my mother agreed that I could only travel to France, ____16____ it was my mother’s homeland. And I had many uncles and aunts who could provide help if I needed them. Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a ____17____ off after his first year in university. Again, my mother was very worried and not happy to see my brother leave his school. But my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) ____18____ year working his way on trains and ships to different places. These kinds of experiences are probably impossible for children in many countries, but in the US they are quite common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time ____19____ finish high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs and traveled on their own. Maybe they have chosen the university and even ____20____ their future jobs and so on. 11. A. worried B. afraid C. proud D. brave 12. A. never B. ever C. always D. sometimes 13.

D 16. C 17. C 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者父母鼓励孩子独立赚钱、旅行和体验生活，反映了美国家庭培养孩子独立性的普遍现象，强调独立成长。 【11题详解】 句意：能赚到属于自己的零花钱，我感到十分自豪。 根据“first job”和“make my own pocket money”，可知赚钱让人自豪。proud“自豪的”符合语境，worried“担忧的”、afraid“害怕的”、brave“勇敢的”均不符。 【12题详解】 句意：我的父母从不干涉我花钱的方式，哪怕我花钱很不理智。 根据后文父母希望我在花钱犯错中吸取教训、学会承担责任，可知父母不会干预我的消费选择。空处需要表示否定含义的副词，never“从不”符合语境，ever“曾经”、always“总是”、sometimes“有时”均不符。 【13题详解】 句意：他们相信，通过赚钱、消费以及从错误中吸取教训，我会慢慢长大，变得更有责任心。 根据后半句内容，这是父母内心笃定的教育想法，他们坚信试错能让我成长。空处需要表达父母笃定的心理动词，believed“相信”符合语境，noticed“注意到”、wondered“疑惑”、feared“担心”均不符。 【14题详解】 句意：当我十六岁时，我想要利用暑假环游欧洲。 根据后文讲述我独自出国旅行的经历，可知此处是计划在欧洲四处旅行。空处需要和around搭配表示四处游历，traveling“旅行”符合语境，flying“飞行”、working“工作”、studying“学习”均不符。 【15题详解】 句意：母亲反对我在这么小的年纪独自外出旅行的想法。 根据后文转折词But以及母亲十分担忧的态度，能看出母亲一开始并不赞同这次独自旅行。固定搭配be against表示“反对”，against符合语境，with“和……一起”、for“为了”、under“在……下面”均不符。 【16题详解】 句意：最后妈妈同意我只去法国旅行，因为那是我母亲的故乡。 后半句用来解释妈妈只允许我去往法国的原因，需要引导原因的连词，because“因为”符合语境，so“所以”、but“但是”、while“当……时”均不符。 【17题详解】 句意：三年后，我的弟弟在大一结束后决定休学一年。 根据后文“year”以及弟弟去往各地打工历练的经历，可知他选择休学一整年外出体验生活，固定搭配take a year off表示“休学一年”，year“年”符合语境，term“学期”、month“月份”、week“星期”均不符。 【18题详解】 句意：弟弟在火车和轮船上打工、去往不同的地方，度过了不同寻常的一年。 这段独自游历打工的成长经历十分特别，不是普通的校园生活，unusual“不同寻常的”符合语境，hard“艰难的”、strange“奇怪的”、normal“平常的”均不符。 【19题详解】 句意：等到他们高中毕业的时候，很多美国孩子已经做过兼职工作，也独自外出旅行过。 空处代词指代前文出现的many American kids，为第三人称复数，they“他们”符合要求，I“我”、you“你/你们”、we“我们”均不符。 【20题详解】 句意：或许他们已经选好了大学，甚至确定好了自己未来的工作等等。 结合前文美国孩子从小独立规划生活的背景，此处指提前选定未来的工作，decided on“选定；确定”符合语境，depended on“依靠”、waited for“等待”、given up“放弃”均不符。 Ⅳ. 阅读理解。(41-43每小题1分，44-59每小题2分，共35分) 阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A Musical instruments sold best in Uncle John’s shop Item Flute (笛子) Violin Guitar Erhu Main material Bamboo Wood Wood Wood Producing place China Spain France China Type Chinese instrument Western instrument Western instrument Chinese instrument Wind Instrument (管乐器) Stringed Instrument (弹拨乐器) Stringed instrument Stringed instrument Price $200 $2,000 $1,800 $550 21.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了约翰叔叔店里畅销的四种乐器（笛子、小提琴、吉他、二胡）的制作材料、产地、类型及价格信息。 【21题详解】 表格“Main material”行明确标注：笛子的主要制作材料是竹子，因此在表格中的所有乐器里，笛子主要由竹子制成。 【22题详解】 表格“Producing place”行显示：小提琴产自西班牙，吉他产自法国，二者均为欧洲国家，因此小提琴和吉他是在欧洲生产的乐器。 【23题详解】 表格“Price”行列出了四种乐器的价格：笛子$200、二胡$550、吉他$1,800、小提琴$2,000。对比可知，吉他的价格为$1,800，仅次于价格最高的小提琴，因此吉他的价格是表格中所有乐器里的第二高。 B If You Think You Are by Walter D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一首诗歌，主题围绕“心态决定成败”，阐述了自信与意志对成功的重要性。 【24题详解】 从文本形式看，全文采用分行、押韵的诗歌格式，符合诗歌的文体特征，因此这是一首poem。 【25题详解】 诗歌第7行明确提到：“Success begins with a fellow’s will”，直接说明成功始于人的意志。 【26题详解】 诗歌最后两句指出：“But sooner or later the man who wins /is the man who thinks he can.”，表明最终获胜的是相信自己能做到的人。 【27题详解】 文章主旨强调了心态和自信对成功的重要性。因此在考试前，应该给自己积极的心理暗示，对自己说“我能做到”（I can make it），而不是消极怀疑。 C Once upon a time, there was a king who lost his leg and eye during a war. Even with these challenges, his cleverness and kindness made him a great king in his country. One day, the king saw the pictures of his ancestors (祖先) on the walls. Thinking that one day his children would admire his picture as well, he really wanted to have it painted well. However, he wasn’t sure what his painting would be like because of his leg and eye. So, he invited a group of famous painters to the palace (王宫), offering a lot of money to the artist who could create a beautiful picture of him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon decided that it was an impossible thing, being that if the king was not satisfied with their pictures, they would get punished. So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused politely. Then, one painter named Tom said that he wanted to have a try. The king agreed. Tom started drawing and coloring the picture carefully in a quiet room. After some time, he finally finished it! All the other painters in the palace couldn’t wait to see what it would look like. When Tom showed the picture, everyone, including the king, was amazed. Tom made a picture in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing the one-leg side, holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very happy to see this beautiful picture and gave Tom a lot of money as he promised. 28. What did the king invite these famous painters to do? A. To paint the palace walls. B. To teach him painting skills. C. To create a beautiful picture of him. D. To paint pictures of his ancestors. 29. Why did other painters refuse to paint for the king? A. Because they don’t like the King. B. Because they thought it would take a long time. C. Because they feared to be punished. D. Because they thought the money was not enough. 30. Which of the paintings could be the picture of the king? A. B. C. D. 31. What is the best title of this passage? A. A Clever King B. The King’s painting C. A Dangerous Job D. A King and His Horse 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位身有残疾的国王邀请画家给自己画肖像，多数画家因害怕受罚纷纷推辞，画家汤姆巧妙作画，既掩盖了国王的缺陷又展现出国王的英气，最终获得丰厚奖赏的故事。 【28题详解】 原文第三段定位依据：So, he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a lot of money to the artist who could create a beautiful picture of him.，这句话说明国王邀请知名画家来到王宫，目的是让画家为自己画一幅好看的肖像画，因此本题选C。 【29题详解】 原文第四段定位依据：if the king was not satisfied with their pictures, they would get punished.，由此可以得知其他画家不愿意为国王作画，是担心画作无法让国王满意，自己会受到惩罚，因此本题选C。 【30题详解】 原文最后一段定位依据：Tom made a picture in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing the one-leg side, holding his bow and aiming the arrow with his one eye closed.，画中的国王骑在马上，手持弓箭瞄准，只露出完好的那条腿，同时一只眼睛紧闭，和A选项画面内容相符，因此本题选A。 【31题详解】 全文围绕国王征集肖像画、画家汤姆完成这幅巧妙的画作展开叙述，文章的核心线索就是国王的肖像画。其余选项都只能概括文章局部内容，无法统领全文，因此本题选B。 D One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. The houses were covered with snow. The weather was cold. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. “Merry Christmas, Uncle!” said a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew. “Stupid!” said Scrooge. “Christmas is stupid? Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle,” said his nephew. “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas. But why do you feel happy? You’re poor.” “OK. Then,” replied the nephew. “Why are you unhappy? You are so rich,” said his nephew. “I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What does Christmas mean to you? It’s a time for expenditure. Shopping, shopping, shopping, people spend a lot of money buying so many unnecessary things! It’s also a time to find yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone saying ‘Merry Christmas’ should get his tongue (舌头) cut out!” “Uncle! Please don’t say that,” said the nephew, “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never brought me any gold, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. “One more sound from you, Bob,” said Scrooge. “And you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!” “Don’t be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.” “No,” said Scrooge. “I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!” “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge. “And a Happy New Year!” said his nephew. “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again. His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, “A Merry Christmas to you, too.” 32. When did the story happen? A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter. 33. What did Scrooge think of Christmas? A. It was simple. B. It was good. C. It was stupid. D. It was necessary. 34. What does the underlined word “expenditure” in paragraph 7 mean? A. 消费 B. 收入 C. 聚餐 D. 加班 35. What can we infer from the story? A. Scrooge was working busily in his office on Christmas Eve. B. No rich people wanted to waste their time celebrating Christmas. C. Bob believed in Christmas the same as Scrooge’s nephew did. D. Scrooge accepted his nephew’s invitation to dinner on Christmas Day. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在圣诞节前夕，Scrooge和他的侄子以及员工Bob之间关于圣诞节看法的对话，展现了Scrooge对圣诞节的厌恶态度以及侄子和Bob对圣诞节的积极态度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. The houses were covered with snow. The weather was cold.”可知，故事发生在圣诞节前夕，且天气寒冷，房屋被雪覆盖，由此可推断故事发生在冬天。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Christmas is stupid? Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle,” said his nephew.以及第五段中的“‘I do,’ said Scrooge.”可知，当侄子问Scrooge圣诞节是否愚蠢时，Scrooge明确表示他认为圣诞节是愚蠢的。故选C。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据后文“Shopping, shopping, shopping, people spend a lot of money buying so many unnecessary things!”可知，Scrooge认为圣诞节是购物、购物、再购物的日子，人们会花很多钱买很多不必要的东西，由此可推断expenditure在此处意为“消费”。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌).”以及 “He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, ‘A Merry Christmas to you, too.’”可知，当Scrooge的侄子表达对圣诞节的积极看法时，Bob鼓掌表示赞同，并且在侄子离开时，Bob也回应了圣诞祝福，由此可推断Bob和Scrooge的侄子一样相信圣诞节。故选C。 E ①Many stick puppets (木偶), dressed in traditional costumes, have fun on stage. They are able to change their facial expressions and perform difficult movements along with the music. The people who control the puppets are below them and use three rods (杆子) to move the head and hands of the puppets. ②This is the art form of stick puppet plays popular in Xiaoyi, Shanxi Province. They were introduced to Xiaoyi during the Song Dynasty, and became the most popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Traditionally, stick puppets were made out of wood. They took a long time to make and were heavy to hold. ③Wang Maowei, 41, is a master of performing the beautiful art form on stage. ④Since his parents used to work with the Xiaoyi Shadow Puppetry and Puppet Troupe (戏班), he fell in love with the art form as a teenager. He decided to be a puppet performer and “make it a lifelong career (事业)”. ⑤When he was 17, he went to Xi’an to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown and joined the same troupe that his parents worked with. ⑥ “Traditional art in modern times is a challenge for performers,” says Wang. “Don’t stay in the same old way. It’s important to keep up with the times.” So ________. Unlike the traditional puppets, Wang uses one rod instead of three to make the puppets work. A special tool is put inside the puppet, combining (结合) traditional skills with modern technology. His puppets can perform bianlian, also known as face-changing, to attract more young people, and his troupe now uses background music instead of local operas when performing the plays. This makes it easier for the audience to understand. 36. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Joining the local troupe. B. Performing the stick puppet play. C. Learning from a puppet-making master. D. Letting more people know about the art. 37. Which sentence can be put in the ________. A. many people think he is truly a puppet-making master B. he has changed the traditional art form completely C. the plays are great for spreading Chinese culture D. he has made the puppets different from the old times 38. Which was the correct time order of the following events about Maowei? ①He decided to be a puppet performer and make it a lifelong career. ②He fell in love with puppets as a teenager. ③He combined traditional skills with modern technology. ④He went to Xi’an to learn puppet-making from a master. A. ①③②④ B. ②①④③ C. ②①③④ D. ②④①③ 39. Which group of words is the most suitable for the mind-map? A. Birthplace; story; Examples B. History; love; Changes C. History; achievement; Changes D. Birthplace; love; Examples 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍山西孝义杖头木偶戏这项传统民间艺术，讲述了其发展历史，以及非遗匠人王茂伟年少爱上木偶戏、拜师学艺的经历，同时介绍他结合现代技术改良传统木偶表演，让古老艺术顺应时代、吸引更多年轻观众的故事。 【36题详解】 原文第四段定位依据：He decided to be a puppet performer and “make it a lifelong career”. 此处it指代前文的表演杖头木偶戏这份事业。 【37题详解】 第六段空格后详细介绍王茂伟对木偶做出的多处改良：将三根操纵杆改为一根、木偶可以变脸、更换背景音乐形式，说明他改良了旧时的传统木偶，D选项符合上下文语境；A、B表述过于绝对，C和后文的改良内容无关。 【38题详解】 事件排序： ②He fell in love with puppets as a teenager.（年少时爱上木偶） ①He decided to be a puppet performer and make it a lifelong career.（决定以木偶表演为终身事业） ④He went to Xi'an to learn puppet-making from a master.（前往西安拜师学艺） ③He combined traditional skills with modern technology.（结合现代技术改良传统技艺） 正确顺序为②①④③。 【39题详解】 思维导图解析： (1)对应文章第二段，介绍杖头木偶戏从宋朝传入、明清盛行，属于这项艺术的历史； (2)对应匠人王茂伟的部分，讲述他年少喜爱木偶、立志从事该行业的经历； (3)对应文章第六段，介绍他对传统木偶表演做出的各类创新与改变。 因此三组词汇依次为History; love; Changes。 V. 口语应用。(每小题1分，共5分) 阅读下面对话，从下面7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Hi, Bill, do you know about National Inventors’ Day?

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇对话。主要讲述了A向B介绍国家发明家日的日期、起源、命名来历以及学校庆祝方式等内容。 【40题详解】 根据A的回答“On February 11th”可知，B正在询问具体日期。因此，此处需要一个询问时间的疑问句，以自然引出后续的日期回答。D项“When is it?”符合对话逻辑。 【41题详解】 根据A的回答“Of course. There have been a lot of inventors in history.”可知，B此前请求A介绍该节日的起源或由来的信息。因此，此处需要一个请求介绍如何开始的疑问句，以引出A关于发明家历史的介绍。G项“Can you tell me how it got started?”衔接合理。 【42题详解】 根据A的回应“But you made a mistake. It was Ronald Reagan...who named the date.”可知，B的猜测部分正确（节日为纪念发明家而设），但命名者身份有误。因此，此处需要先肯定B的部分正确判断，再自然引出A的纠正。A项“You’re very clever.”既承接了B的猜测，又为下一句纠正做铺垫。 【43题详解】 根据A的回答“Students show their own inventions.”可知，B此前正在询问学校具体的庆祝方式。因此，此处需要一个询问如何庆祝的疑问句，以让A给出具体活动描述。F项“How do you celebrate it?”衔接连贯。 【44题详解】 根据B的后一句“Can I show them at your school?”可知，B表达了展示自己发明作品的意愿。因此，此处需要一个表明自己也喜欢发明小东西的句子，以引出展示请求。B项“I like inventing small things, too.”为后续请求提供动机。 第Ⅱ卷 (共55分) VI. 任务型阅读。(65—67小题，每小题2分，68题3分，共9分) 阅读下文并回答问题。 Chinese online novels have made great progress and become more popular at home and abroad.

China also provides technology for the Trans Asian Network (横贯亚洲铁路网) that connects China with Europe, which is hoped to be completed by 2030. Up to now, China has the longest high-speed rail network in the world. In 2024, the game “Black Myth: Wukong” became a big hit. It’s an action role-playing game inspired (启发) by Journey to the West. The game not only offers great fun but also spreads Chinese culture. It shows that Chinese games can be excellent in the world market. China has completed its BeiDou navigation Satellite system (北斗卫星导航系统), or BDS. It has more satellites in different orbits (轨道) which can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region. It also has a short message service that allows two-way communication.

What does the whole poster mainly talk about? ______________________________________________ 48. Of the four things mentioned above, which one gives you the greatest sense (感觉) of pride? Please give your reasons. ______________________________________________ 【答案】45. Yes, it does. 46. Journey to the West. 47. It mainly talks about some great achievements of China. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 48. I am most proud of China's high-speed rail because it offers great convenience for our travel and shows China’s advanced technology. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国在现代取得的四项令国人骄傲的成就：中国网络小说被大英图书馆收藏、中国高铁的快速发展、游戏《黑神话：悟空》的成功以及北斗卫星导航系统的建成。 【45题详解】 根据文章第二段“China’s high-speed rail offers convenience...”可推知结论中国的高铁确实提供了便利。故填Yes, it does. 【46题详解】 根据文章第三段“It’s an action role-playing game inspired by Journey to the West.”可推知结论《黑神话：悟空》是受《西游记》启发的。故填Journey to the West. 【47题详解】 根据文章图片1中的文字“It is a great joy and a matter of pride to see more and more things like the following appearing in the modern...”以及下文列举的中国网络小说、高铁、游戏和北斗系统，可推知结论整张海报主要讲述了中国取得的一些伟大成就。故填It mainly talks about some great achievements of China. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【48题详解】 本题为开放性问题，选择四个成就中的任意一个，并结合文章内容或自身实际给出合理的理由即可。例如选择中国高铁，理由是它为出行提供了极大的便利，展示了中国先进的技术。故填I am most proud of China's high-speed rail because it offers great convenience for our travel and shows China’s advanced technology. (答案不唯一，合理即可) VII. 完成句子。(每空1分，共19分) 根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。 49. There used to be a bookstore. (改为否定句) There ________ ________ to be a bookstore. 【答案】 ①. didn’t ②. use 【解析】 【详解】句意：这里曾经有一家书店。used to的否定形式通常借助助动词did，构成didn’t use to结构。 50. The chopsticks are made of wood. (对划线部分提问) ________ are the chopsticks ________ of? 【答案】 ①. What ②. made 【解析】 【详解】句意：筷子是由木头制成的。划线部分wood表示材料，对材料提问要用特殊疑问词What。原句中含有短语be made of，变疑问句时需要保留made of的结构。故①填What；②填made。 51. Parents should allow children to hang out with friends on weekends. (改为被动语态) Children should ________ ________ ________ hang out with friends on weekends by parents. 【答案】 ①. be ②. allowed ③. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：父母应该允许孩子们周末和朋友出去玩。原句中“should allow”是关键词，表明是含有情态动词的主动语态。改为被动语态时，结构为“情态动词 + be + 过去分词”，即should be allowed。同时，“allow sb to do sth”变为被动时，“to”需要保留，构成“be allowed to do sth”。因此填be allowed to。 52. Could you please tell me how I can get to the train station? (改为同义句) Could you please tell me ________ ________ get to the train station? 【答案】 ①. how ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：你能告诉我去火车站怎么走吗？在原句中，主句的谓语动词是tell，且宾语从句的主语和主句的间接宾语一致，在这种情况下，宾语从句可简化成“疑问词+动词不定式”结构，即把“how I can get to the train station”变成“how to get to the train station”。故填how；to。 53. 中国最受欢迎的饮料是偶然被发明的。 The most popular drink in China was invented ________ ________. 【答案】 ①. by ②. accident 【解析】 【详解】原句中“偶然”是关键词，表示“偶然”的介词短语是by accident，在句中作方式状语。 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。 Dear students, When you were children, you might hope to grow up quickly.

However, he wasn’t sure what his painting would be like because of his leg and eye. So, he invited a group of famous painters to the palace (王宫), offering a lot of money to the artist who could create a beautiful picture of him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon decided that it was an impossible thing, being that if the king was not satisfied with their pictures, they would get punished. So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused politely. Then, one painter named Tom said that he wanted to have a try. The king agreed. Tom started drawing and coloring the picture carefully in a quiet room. After some time, he finally finished it! All the other painters in the palace couldn’t wait to see what it would look like. When Tom showed the picture, everyone, including the king, was amazed. Tom made a picture in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing the one-leg side, holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very happy to see this beautiful picture and gave Tom a lot of money as he promised. 28. What did the king invite these famous painters to do? A. To paint the palace walls. B. To teach him painting skills. C. To create a beautiful picture of him. D. To paint pictures of his ancestors. 29. Why did other painters refuse to paint for the king? A. Because they don’t like the King. B. Because they thought it would take a long time. C. Because they feared to be punished. D. Because they thought the money was not enough. 30.

A King and His Horse D One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. The houses were covered with snow. The weather was cold. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. “Merry Christmas, Uncle!” said a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew. “Stupid!” said Scrooge. “Christmas is stupid? Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle,” said his nephew. “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas. But why do you feel happy? You’re poor.” “OK. Then,” replied the nephew. “Why are you unhappy? You are so rich,” said his nephew. “I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What does Christmas mean to you? It’s a time for expenditure. Shopping, shopping, shopping, people spend a lot of money buying so many unnecessary things! It’s also a time to find yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone saying ‘Merry Christmas’ should get his tongue (舌头) cut out!” “Uncle! Please don’t say that,” said the nephew, “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never brought me any gold, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. “One more sound from you, Bob,” said Scrooge. “And you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!” “Don’t be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.” “No,” said Scrooge. “I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!” “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge. “And a Happy New Year!” said his nephew. “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again. His nephew left the room.

E ①Many stick puppets (木偶), dressed in traditional costumes, have fun on stage. They are able to change their facial expressions and perform difficult movements along with the music. The people who control the puppets are below them and use three rods (杆子) to move the head and hands of the puppets. ②This is the art form of stick puppet plays popular in Xiaoyi, Shanxi Province. They were introduced to Xiaoyi during the Song Dynasty, and became the most popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Traditionally, stick puppets were made out of wood. They took a long time to make and were heavy to hold. ③Wang Maowei, 41, is a master of performing the beautiful art form on stage. ④Since his parents used to work with the Xiaoyi Shadow Puppetry and Puppet Troupe (戏班), he fell in love with the art form as a teenager. He decided to be a puppet performer and “make it a lifelong career (事业)”. ⑤When he was 17, he went to Xi’an to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown and joined the same troupe that his parents worked with. ⑥ “Traditional art in modern times is a challenge for performers,” says Wang. “Don’t stay in the same old way. It’s important to keep up with the times.” So ________. Unlike the traditional puppets, Wang uses one rod instead of three to make the puppets work. A special tool is put inside the puppet, combining (结合) traditional skills with modern technology. His puppets can perform bianlian, also known as face-changing, to attract more young people, and his troupe now uses background music instead of local operas when performing the plays. This makes it easier for the audience to understand. 36. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Joining the local troupe. B. Performing the stick puppet play. C. Learning from a puppet-making master. D. Letting more people know about the art. 37. Which sentence can be put in the ________. A. many people think he is truly a puppet-making master B. he has changed the traditional art form completely C. the plays are great for spreading Chinese culture D. he has made the puppets different from the old times 38. Which was the correct time order of the following events about Maowei? ①He decided to be a puppet performer and make it a lifelong career. ②He fell in love with puppets as a teenager. ③He combined traditional skills with modern technology. ④He went to Xi’an to learn puppet-making from a master.
