When I thanked her for it, she said, “You’re welcome, it’s a piece of cake.” I thought to myself, America is really a money country in which every thing is done for pay. So I said to her,“1 don’t have a piece of cake with me today. What about something else?” She look at me with a big smile and said, “What I mean is ‘No problem’. It is just a small matter” From now on, I came to learn that“a piece of cake” means something that is very very easy. 二、单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 21.

He could not walk well and I had to help him. Our usual walk was to or from the underground, which was how he got to work. He almost ____36____ missed a day. He would go to the office ____37____ even if others could not. It was one of his proudest things in his life. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was ____38____ for him to walk a long way. On days like this, I would pull him ____39____ the streets on a child’s sled (雪橇) to the underground. He never took pity on himself or envied other people who could ____40____ well. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that ____41____ more than anything else. My father still tried to do the same things that others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to ____42____, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing. I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I played basketball, he “played” too. When I joined the navy (海军), he “____43____” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” He passed away many years ago. I wonder if he ever ____44____ that I was embarrassed (尴尬的) to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I want to tell him how ____45____ I feel. I often think of him when I envy others, when I don’t have a good heart. 36. A. seldom B. never C. often D. always 37. A. sometimes B. at times C. on time D. in no time 38.

A. concerts B. picnics C. parties D. meetings 43. A. became B. joined C. entered D. played 44. A. noticed B. thought C. believed D. hoped 45. A. sad B. worried C. excited D. sorry 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. A 41. A 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者回忆身残志坚的父亲，虽行走不便但坚持工作，重视善良之心，作者如今对曾感到尴尬深感抱歉。 【36题详解】 句意：他几乎从不缺勤。 根据“It was one of his proudest things in his life.”可知，这是他最自豪的事之一，说明他工作敬业，几乎从不缺勤。“almost never”为固定搭配，意为“几乎从不”。seldom“很少”；often“ 经常”；always“总是”与语境不符。 【37题详解】 句意：即使别人不能去，他也会准时去办公室。 根据前文他几乎不缺勤可知，他强调的是按时上班。“on time”意为“准时”，符合父亲敬业的形象。sometimes/at times“有时”频率不对，in no time“立刻”语义不符。 【38题详解】 句意：当下雪或结冰时，对他来说走很长的路是不可能的。 根据后文“On days like this, I would pull him…on a child’s sled”可知，这种天气需要拉雪橇，说明走路对他而言是不可能的，impossible“不可能的”符合语境。unnecessary“不必要的”；possible“可能的”；necessary“必要的”不符合逻辑。 【39题详解】 句意：在这样的日子里，我会拉着他沿着街道滑到地铁站。 根据语境，拉雪橇是在街道上移动，“along the streets”意为“沿着街道”，符合运动轨迹。over“在……之上”；from“从……”；off“离开”介词含义不符。 【40题详解】 句意：他从不怜悯自己，也不羡慕那些能走得很好的人。 根据第一段“He could not walk well”可知，父亲的缺陷是行走，因此他不羡慕那些能“走”得好的人，walk“走”符合语境。sleep“睡”；jump“跳”；play“玩”与上下文呼应不符。 【41题详解】 句意：对他来说，那比任何其他事情都更重要。 根据“What he looked for in others was a good heart.”可知，父亲看重善良的心，这对他来说是最“重要”的。“mattered”意为“要紧，重要”符合语境。made“制作”；mentioned“提到”；minded“介意”语义不通。 【42题详解】 句意：例如，他喜欢去聚会，在那里他可以坐下来享受，而不是跳舞。 根据"instead of dancing"可知，通常跳舞的活动是聚会parties。concerts音乐会通常坐着听，但跳舞不是主要特征；picnics野餐和meetings会议通常不跳舞。 【43题详解】 句意：当我加入海军时，他也“加入”了。 根据前文"When I joined the navy"可知，此处对应同样的动作，父亲在精神上也“加入”了，joined符合语境。became/entered/played无法与前文join对应。 【44题详解】 句意：我想知道他是否曾经注意到，当我们散步时，被人看到我和他在一起，我感到很尴尬。 根据语境，作者不确定父亲是否察觉notice到了自己的尴尬情绪。thought“思考”；believed“相信”；hoped“希望”无法表达“察觉”之意。 【45题详解】 句意：如果他注意到了，我想告诉他我现在有多么抱歉。 根据前文作者曾感到“embarrassed”可知，现在回想起来应是对父亲感到“抱歉”或愧疚。sad“悲伤的”；worried“担心的”；excited“兴奋的”情感色彩不符。 四、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) (A) Dictionary of Idioms (习语) All ears 4 Meaning: eager (渴望的) to listen: curious Example: You said you had something important to tell me. I’m all ears! Origin (起源): The ear is the organ (器官) by which a person hears. So, “all ears” means you’re eagerly listening to whatever is hearing said. It’s as if no other part of your body mattered except your ear. This idiom is about three centuries old. Apple of your eye 5 Meaning: a person or thing that is greatly loved and treasured Example: Katey is the apple of my eye. Origin: Ancient people began to use this saying over two thousand years ago. They thought that the pupil (瞳孔) of the eye shaped like an apple. The pupil, “apple of the eye” was very important because without it you couldn’t see. Burn the midnight oil 28 Meaning: to stay up very late at might studying or working Example: I have a big test tomorrow morning. So I plan to burn the midnight oil tonight. Origin: This saying goes back to the days when lamps were lighted by oil and people went to bed earlier than they do today. When you burned the midnight oil in those days, you were up late working or reading by the light of an oil lamp. Fish out of water 78 Meaning: a person who is out of this or her usual place; someone who doesn’t fit in or is helpless in a situation Example: I want to help the new gin from Russia. She must feel like a fish out of water. Origin: For thousands of years, people have known that a fish belongs in water. That’s its natural living area. So a person who is in the new or uncomfortable environment will feel like a fish out of water. 46. Which page is the idiom “Fish out of water” on? A. Page 4. B. Page 5. C. Page 28. D. Page 78. 47.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了习语字典里几个习语的意义，例子和起源。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fish out of water”及“78”可知，“Fish out of water”在78页。故选D。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据每个习语的Origin可推知，“起源”部分告诉我们成语是如何开始使用的。故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Meaning: a person or thing that is greatly loved and treasured”及“Example: Katey is the apple of my eye.”可知，“the apple of one’s eye”意为“深受喜爱或珍惜的人或事物”，选项A“我女儿自出生以来就是我的掌上明珠”使用正确。故选A。 (B) Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum (鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes (服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says, “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” 49. Why do people perform lion dancing? A. To sell lion-dancing costumes. B. To protect the lions in the wild. C. To wish for a lucky new year. D. To show skills of playing the drum. 50. Which role does Anthony play in lion dancing? A. The lion’s head. B. The lion’s tail. C. The drummer. D. The dresser. 51. What can we infer from Ananda’s words “We call it a family.” in the last paragraph? A. They bring happiness to the family. B. They call lion dancing a family game. C. They support each other like a family. D. They live together in a big family. 【答案】49. C 50. A 51. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍中国传统民俗舞狮。 【49题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year.”可知，人们表演舞狮是为了祈求来年好运。 【50题详解】 根据第三段中“Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head.”可知，Anthony在舞狮中扮演狮头的角色。 【51题详解】 根据最后一段中“But a team’s sense of community will never change. ‘We call it a family,’ Ananda says, ‘It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.’”可知，把团队称为“家庭”意味着他们像家人一样互相支持。 (C) Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm. I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise! He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street and still no one! “Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.” “Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin( 下 巴 ).” Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling. He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes— nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on. “Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor. 52. The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A. shook B. fought C. hit D. rose 53. How did the man’s feelings change? A. Afraid—surprised—brave. B. Happy—surprised—afraid. C. Afraid—happy—surprised. D. Happy—nervous—surprised. 54. Which is the right order of what happened in the story? a.Mastro Cherry saw a piece of common firewood with joy. b.The old carpenter doubted if anyone was hidden in the wood. c.He heard the same far-away little voice cry “Oh, oh! You hurt me!”. d.Mastro Cherry sang a merry song to encourage himself to work on. e.As he was going to give it the first blow, he had heard a little voice. A. a–e–b–d–c B. e–a–b–c–d C. a–e–c–b–d D. e–a–c–d–b 55. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Deaf Ears B. Unusual Wood C. Unfriendly Carpenter D. Strange Sounds 【答案】52. C 53. B 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个会说话的奇怪木头。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard”（请小心！不要这么用力打我）可推测此处是指他又在那块木头上狠狠地打了一下。故选C。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy... What a surprise!”（马斯特罗·切里一看到那块木头，就欣喜若狂……真是惊讶啊）以及“Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin(下巴).”（马斯特罗·切里张大了嘴，惊恐地转过眼睛，舌头垂在下巴上）可知这个男人的感情变化是高兴—惊讶—害怕。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy... What a surprise!”（马斯特罗·切里一看到那块木头，就欣喜若狂）；“But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say”（但当他准备给它第一次打击时，他站着不动，举起手臂，因为他听到一个小声音说）；“Oh, oh! You hurt me”（哦，哦！你伤害了我）可知，a–e–c排在前面，结合选项C选项符合，故选C。 【55题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文讲述了一个会说话的奇怪木头，所以B选项“不寻常的木头”符合，故选B。 (D) 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 It’s always hard to say goodbye to holidays.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍长假结束返校很容易让人产生焦虑情绪，本文给出四条实用建议，帮助学生缓解开学焦虑、快速调整状态回归学习生活。 【56题详解】 上文提到返校后可能会感到焦虑，下文分段列举了具体建议。G项“Here we have a few tips that can beat back your post-holiday blues and help you get back into the study mode.”承上启下，引出下文的具体措施。 【57题详解】 上文提到写下个人目标，下文列举了交朋友、提高成绩、塑形等具体例子。C项“These goals might be social, intellectual or physical.”是对下文例子的概括分类，与上下文逻辑一致。 【58题详解】 本段主题是调整睡眠计划。下文提到“这可能会让你很难回到学校常规”，其中“This”指代某种习惯。F项“During the holidays, you might have enjoyed sleeping in or staying up late.”正是导致难以适应学校作息的原因，符合语境。 【59题详解】 本段建议与父母交流感受。D项“They might have some good advice on cheering you up.”说明了与父母交流感受的好处，呼应了上文提到的缓解焦虑的主题。 【60题详解】 本段位于文章最后，且结构上类似小标题。段落内容提到计划赶不上变化，需要调整。A项“Accept the unexpected.”作为小标题，准确概括了本段关于应对生活中意外惊喜或挑战的主旨。 五、词汇运用(共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分) 从方框中选择恰当的词并用其适当的形式填空(每个词只能用一次) dialogue speak highly of tradition wealthy successfully of great value to my surprise out of breath keep trying Asia 61. Many countries ________ China’s high speed railway technologies. 62. Baozi and zongzi are both ________ Chinese food. 63. The operation was performed ________, and the patient would get well soon. 64. We think your advice is ________ to us. 65. ________, Millie’s grandmother is a fan of rock music. 66.

At my first art show, my teacher praised me and encouraged me ________. 68. ________ films, especially Chinese films are becoming more and more popular in the world. 69. My parents work hard to provide a more comfortable and ________ life for me. 70. Our teacher asked us to read these ________ out loud. 【答案】61. speak highly of 62. traditional 63. successfully 64. of great value 65. To my surprise 66. out of breath 67. to keep trying 68. Asian 69. wealthier 70. dialogues 【解析】 【61题详解】 句意：许多国家高度赞扬中国的高铁技术。本句缺少谓语动词短语，主语Many countries为复数，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用原形；固定短语speak highly of 意为“高度赞扬”，贴合各国认可中国高铁技术的语境，其余词汇无动词短语属性，无法充当句子谓语。 【62题详解】 句意：包子和粽子都是传统中国食物。空格后为名词短语Chinese food，需要形容词作定语修饰名词；名词tradition转换为形容词traditional，意为“传统的”，用来修饰食物，其余词汇无形容词属性且语义不符。 【63题详解】 句意：手术成功实施，病人很快就会康复。本句主干结构完整，空格修饰动词was performed，需要副词作状语；形容词successful转换为副词successfully，意为“成功地”，修饰手术实施这件事，符合语法要求。 【64题详解】 句意：我们认为你的建议对我们很有价值。固定结构be of great value=very valuable，意为“极具价值的”，跟在be动词is后作表语，贴合“建议很有用”的句意，其余短语无法构成该系表搭配。 【65题详解】 句意：令我惊讶的是，米莉的奶奶是摇滚乐爱好者。固定短语to my surprise放句首作评注性状语，意为“令我惊讶的是”，句首单词首字母必须大写，用来引出出人意料的事实，其余短语无该用法。 【66题详解】 句意：当我气喘吁吁赶到电影院时，电影已经开播十分钟了。固定短语out of breath意为“上气不接下气、气喘吁吁”，在句中作伴随状语，说明赶到电影院时的状态，贴合赶路迟到的语境。 【67题详解】 句意：在我的第一次美术展上，老师表扬了我，并鼓励我不断努力。固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.（鼓励某人做某事），因此动词短语keep trying前需要加不定式符号to，变形为to keep trying，作宾语补足语。 【68题详解】 句意：亚洲电影，尤其是中国电影，在全球越来越受欢迎。空格修饰名词films，需要形容词作定语；名词Asia转换为形容词Asian，意为“亚洲的”，用来限定电影的地域属性，句首首字母大写。 【69题详解】 句意：父母努力工作，为我提供更舒适、更富足的生活。空格与comfortable由and并列，需保持形容词比较级形式；形容词wealthy的比较级为wealthier，意为“更富裕的”，和more comfortable构成并列定语修饰life，匹配“更美好的生活”语境。 【70题详解】 句意：老师要求我们大声朗读这些对话。空格前限定词these表示“这些”，后接可数名词复数；可数名词dialogue变为复数dialogues，意为“多段对话”，符合these修饰复数名词的语法规则。 六、阅读填空(共20小题：每小题1分，满分20分) A) 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 Snow is one of the elements (元素) that help make winter lovable for many people, and it should not be far away when Major Snow arrives.

(m)arks 72. (D)uring 73. (F)armers 74. (p)rovide 75. (s)kating 76. (n)orthern 77. (c)ommon 78. (u)sually 79. (T)hough 80. (d)rier 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了大雪节气、雪季活动及疾病防治。 【71题详解】 句意：它标志着隆冬的开始。根据“the beginning of midwinter”及首字母可知，此处填mark“标志”，大雪标志着隆冬的开始；根据“falls”可知，此处也为一般现在时，主语“It”为第三人称单数，所以mark填第三人称单数形式marks。故填(m)arks。 【72题详解】 句意：在大雪期间，气温大幅下降，可能会有更多的下雪天。根据“Major Snow”及首字母可知，此处表达在大雪期间，during“在……期间”，故填(D)uring。 【73题详解】 句意：农民欢迎下雪，因为雪可以保护农作物免受冷锋的影响，并使田地保持温暖。根据“snow can protect crops from cold fronts and keep the fields warm”可知，此处说的是农民，表示一类人用复数形式，farmer“农民”的复数形式为farmers。故填(F)armers。 【74题详解】 句意：即使融化，也能为春天的庄稼提供足够的水分。根据“enough water for the crops”可知，考查provide sth. for sb.“为某人提供某物”；情态动词“can”后接动词原形，故填(p)rovide。 【75题详解】 句意：下雪季节也适合滑雪和滑冰。根据“The snowy season is also good for skiing”和首字母可知，雪上运动还有滑冰，所以此处填skating“滑冰”。故填(s)kating。 【76题详解】 句意：中国北方有很多这样的天然冰雪场所。根据“in ... part of China”可知，此处填形容词；根据“For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces”可知，此处说的是中国北部，northern“北部的”。故填(n)orthern。 【77题详解】 句意：例如，黑龙江和吉林两省经常在 11月份迎来大雪，因此人们经常玩冰上运动。根据“Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces often have big snow in November”及首字母可知，11月经常有大雪，所以人们玩冰上运动就很常见，common“常见的”。故填(c)ommon。 【78题详解】 句意：但南方人通常待在室内享受冬季活动，例如围炉煮茶。根据“stay indoors”及首字母可知，此处指的是通常待在家里，usually“通常”。故填(u)sually。 【79题详解】 句意：虽然我们因为下雪而玩得很开心，但人们应该注意呼吸道疾病。根据“we have lots of fun because of the snow, people should pay attention to respiratory illness”可知，两句为转折关系，故填(T)hough。 【80题详解】 句意：当大雪时，更冷更干燥，所以人们应该多喝水。根据“colder”可知，此处填形容词比较级；根据“so people should drink more water.”及首字母可知，人们需要多喝水，因为干燥，dry“干燥的”，比较级为drier。故填(d)rier。 B) 根据短文内容，在文章后表格中的空白处填入一个最恰当的词，每空一词。 Using only ten symbols (0—9), we can write any number, small or large. But why do we use these ten symbols? And why are there 10 of them? Strange as it seems to us now, there was a time when numbers, as we know them, simply weren’t used. So, have you ever wondered how numbers first came about? Let’s learn about a brief history of numbers. Early humans in the Old Stone Age mainly counted animals and other objects by carving tally marks (计数符号) on walls, bones or stone. Each tally mark stood for 1 and each fifth mark was scored through to help keep track. This system was only fine for small numbers, but it didn’t really work with large numbers. As society developed, people came up with different ways of writing down numbers. They created new symbols for each larger number. But many of these systems in different countries were mainly based on tally marks and it was still difficult to write large numbers. By the seventh century, Indians had perfected the decimal positional (进位) system, which could describe any number with only ten unique (唯一) symbols. A key breakthrough of this system was the number 0. Older systems, which didn’t have 0, would leave a blank in its place, making it hard to distinguish (区分) between 63 and 603, or 12 and 120. Having and using 0 helped make writing down numbers clearer and easier for everyone to understand. For some reason, the numbers are now known as “Arabic” (阿拉伯数字) though they were born in India. Here’s an interesting story. Sometime in the year 771, Arab businessmen took some Indian scholars (学者) to Baghdad, then the scholars taught them the new set of numbers. After learning the numbers, the Arabs translated them into their own writing system that is Arabic. Sometime later, the Arab traders spread these numerals into European countries. As the world got these numbers from Arabia, these came to be known as Arabic numerals. The ____81____ of numbers What we’ve known about numbers. ●We use ten symbols to count. ●There was a time people didn’t use numbers. How the numbers ____82____? In the Old Stone Age ●People mainly ____83____ things by carving tally marks. ●The system worked for only one to five. ●The systems had one problem with writing ____84____ numbers. By the ____85____ century ●Indians perfected the decimal positional system. ●It’s a key breakthrough to create the number 0, which can tell the ____86____ between 63 and 603, or 12 and 120. ●It helped everyone understand the numbers more ____87____ and easily. ____88____ the numbers are called Arabic numerals? ●The numbers were born in India. ●In 771, some Indian scholars went to Baghdad to ____89____ the new numbers. ●Then the Arabs took the new set of numbers to ____90____. ●The world got these numbers known as Arabic numerals. 【答案】81. history 82. develop 83. counted 84. larger##large 85. seventh##7th 86. difference##differences 87. clearly 88. Why 89. teach 90. Europe 【解析】 【导语】本文简要介绍了数字的发展历史：从旧石器时代使用刻痕计数，到七世纪印度人完善十进制位值系统并发明了数字0，再到数字通过阿拉伯人传入欧洲并被称为“阿拉伯数字”的历程。 【81题详解】 根据第一段“Let’s learn about a brief history of numbers.”并结合全文内容可知，本文简要介绍了数字的发展历史，所以填history。 【82题详解】 根据第二段、第三段整体过去时态叙事，表格问句“How the numbers ...?”描述数字过往的发展过程，谓语需使用过去式，应填动词develop的过去式developed。 【83题详解】 第二段提到“Early humans... mainly counted animals and other objects by carving tally marks”，说明早期人类通过刻记数符号来计数事物，所以填counted. 【84题详解】 第二段提到“This system was only fine for small numbers, but it didn’t really work with large numbers...They created new symbols for each larger number.”，说明这个系统在处理更大数字时存在问题，可填形容词原级large或其比较级形式larger。 【85题详解】 根据第三段“By the seventh century...”，说明印度人完善十进制进位系统是在七世纪，所以填seventh或7th. 【86题详解】 根据第三段“Older systems, which didn’t have 0, would leave a blank in its place, making it hard to distinguish between 63 and 603, or 12 and 120.”，数字0帮助区分了不同位数之间的差异，所以填difference，也可以填differences，表示不止一种差异。 【87题详解】 根据第三段“Having and using 0 helped make writing down numbers clearer and easier for everyone to understand.”，说明数字0使数字书写更清晰，所以填副词clearly。 【88题详解】 表格最后部分以问句形式引出“为什么数字被称为阿拉伯数字”，且文章最后一段解释了这一过程，所以填Why，注意首字母要大写。 【89题详解】 第四段提到“the scholars taught them the new set of numbers”，说明印度学者前往巴格达教授阿拉伯人新的数字，to后接动词原形teach。 【90题详解】 第四段提到“the Arab traders spread these numerals into European countries”，说明阿拉伯商人将数字传播到欧洲，所以填名词Europe。 91. 为了帮助九年级学生缓解学习和生活的压力，校学生会将招聘一名青少年辅导员（youth worker）。假如你是学生会主席李华，请认真阅读两位报名者的信息，结合你校学生的实际需求，选择一位报名者录用并陈述理由。 Name Shirley Tony Job designer basketball player Personality creative, modest, easy to work with humorous, energetic Hobby music & dance sports 要求：1. 语句通顺，意思连贯，语法正确，书写规范； 2. 90词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 I would like to choose ________ as the youth worker. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： I would like to choose Shirley as the youth worker.

I’m all ears! Origin (起源): The ear is the organ (器官) by which a person hears. So, “all ears” means you’re eagerly listening to whatever is hearing said. It’s as if no other part of your body mattered except your ear. This idiom is about three centuries old. Apple of your eye 5 Meaning: a person or thing that is greatly loved and treasured Example: Katey is the apple of my eye. Origin: Ancient people began to use this saying over two thousand years ago. They thought that the pupil (瞳孔) of the eye shaped like an apple. The pupil, “apple of the eye” was very important because without it you couldn’t see. Burn the midnight oil 28 Meaning: to stay up very late at might studying or working Example: I have a big test tomorrow morning. So I plan to burn the midnight oil tonight. Origin: This saying goes back to the days when lamps were lighted by oil and people went to bed earlier than they do today. When you burned the midnight oil in those days, you were up late working or reading by the light of an oil lamp. Fish out of water 78 Meaning: a person who is out of this or her usual place; someone who doesn’t fit in or is helpless in a situation Example: I want to help the new gin from Russia. She must feel like a fish out of water. Origin: For thousands of years, people have known that a fish belongs in water. That’s its natural living area. So a person who is in the new or uncomfortable environment will feel like a fish out of water. 46. Which page is the idiom “Fish out of water” on? A. Page 4. B. Page 5. C. Page 28. D. Page 78. 47. What do we know about the dictionary? A. Only the “Meaning” part can help us understand. B. The right pronunciation of each idiom is shown. C. The dictionary gives two examples for each idiom. D.

Sandy is like a fish out of water since she knows the school so well. (B) Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum (鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes (服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16.

It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm. I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise! He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street and still no one! “Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.” “Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin( 下 巴 ).” Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling. He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes— nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on. “Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor. 52. The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A. shook B. fought C. hit D. rose 53. How did the man’s feelings change? A. Afraid—surprised—brave. B. Happy—surprised—afraid. C.

You hurt me!”. d.Mastro Cherry sang a merry song to encourage himself to work on. e.As he was going to give it the first blow, he had heard a little voice. A. a–e–b–d–c B. e–a–b–c–d C. a–e–c–b–d D. e–a–c–d–b 55. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Deaf Ears B. Unusual Wood C. Unfriendly Carpenter D.

Strange as it seems to us now, there was a time when numbers, as we know them, simply weren’t used. So, have you ever wondered how numbers first came about? Let’s learn about a brief history of numbers. Early humans in the Old Stone Age mainly counted animals and other objects by carving tally marks (计数符号) on walls, bones or stone. Each tally mark stood for 1 and each fifth mark was scored through to help keep track. This system was only fine for small numbers, but it didn’t really work with large numbers. As society developed, people came up with different ways of writing down numbers. They created new symbols for each larger number. But many of these systems in different countries were mainly based on tally marks and it was still difficult to write large numbers. By the seventh century, Indians had perfected the decimal positional (进位) system, which could describe any number with only ten unique (唯一) symbols. A key breakthrough of this system was the number 0. Older systems, which didn’t have 0, would leave a blank in its place, making it hard to distinguish (区分) between 63 and 603, or 12 and 120. Having and using 0 helped make writing down numbers clearer and easier for everyone to understand. For some reason, the numbers are now known as “Arabic” (阿拉伯数字) though they were born in India. Here’s an interesting story. Sometime in the year 771, Arab businessmen took some Indian scholars (学者) to Baghdad, then the scholars taught them the new set of numbers. After learning the numbers, the Arabs translated them into their own writing system that is Arabic. Sometime later, the Arab traders spread these numerals into European countries. As the world got these numbers from Arabia, these came to be known as Arabic numerals. The ____81____ of numbers What we’ve known about numbers. ●We use ten symbols to count. ●There was a time people didn’t use numbers. How the numbers ____82____? In the Old Stone Age ●People mainly ____83____ things by carving tally marks. ●The system worked for only one to five. ●The systems had one problem with writing ____84____ numbers. By the ____85____ century ●Indians perfected the decimal positional system. ●It’s a key breakthrough to create the number 0, which can tell the ____86____ between 63 and 603, or 12 and 120. ●It helped everyone understand the numbers more ____87____ and easily. ____88____ the numbers are called Arabic numerals? ●The numbers were born in India. ●In 771, some Indian scholars went to Baghdad to ____89____ the new numbers. ●Then the Arabs took the new set of numbers to ____90____. ●The world got these numbers known as Arabic numerals. 91. 为了帮助九年级学生缓解学习和生活的压力，校学生会将招聘一名青少年辅导员（youth worker）。假如你是学生会主席李华，请认真阅读两位报名者的信息，结合你校学生的实际需求，选择一位报名者录用并陈述理由。 Name Shirley Tony Job designer basketball player Personality creative, modest, easy to work with humorous, energetic Hobby music & dance sports 要求：1. 语句通顺，意思连贯，语法正确，书写规范； 2. 90词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 I would like to choose ________ as the youth worker. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一部分，听对话回答问题。本部分共有十小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话听两遍。在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟时间阅读题目，听完后你还有5秒钟的时间选出你认为最合适的备选答案。在听到嘀的信号后进入下一小题。One, what are you doing?
