In my opinion, my English teacher is quite patient, and she always manages to ________ the knowledge ________ in a clear and simple way. A. get, into B. get, over C. get, across 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在我看来，我的英语老师很有耐心，她总是设法用清晰简单的方式把知识讲清楚。 get into进入、养成；get over克服、恢复；get across讲清楚、传达。根据“in a clear and simple way”可知，老师是用清晰简单的方式讲解，目的是让知识被学生理解。get across表示“把…讲清楚；传达”，符合语境。应填get；across。 2. When we communicate with the French, we should avoid ________ private things, such as age, family, marriage (婚姻) and so on. A. mention B. to mention C. mentioning 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们与法国人交流时，我们应该避免提及隐私话题，如年龄、家庭、婚姻等。 mention“提及”，avoid后接动名词作宾语，avoid doing sth.表示“避免做某事”，mentioning符合语境。 3. The girl refused ________ a single step ________ because she realized a tsunami was coming soon. A. take, farther B. to take, further C. taking, further 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个女孩拒绝再往前走一步，因为她意识到海啸很快就要来了。 farther更远地；further进一步地、更远地。refuse后接动词不定式作宾语，固定搭配refuse to do sth.表示“拒绝做某事”，符合语境；farther通常指物理距离上的“更远”；further可以指抽象意义的“进一步”，也可指物理距离上的更远，在这个句子里“再往前走一步”用further更自然，带有“不再继续进展”的含义。应填to take；further。 4. As an interviewer, Jim wondered ________ or not the talented man would accept the offer. A. if B. unless C. whether 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：作为一名面试官，吉姆想知道这位人才是否接受这个录用通知。 if如果/是否；unless除非；whether是否。根据“wondered ... or not”可知，引导宾语从句表示“是否”且与or not连用时，常用whether不用if。 5. When visiting others, first impressions are ________ important ________ I don’t want to say or do anything wrong. A. so, that B. such, that C. too, to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：拜访他人时，第一印象是如此重要，以至于我不想说错话或做错事。 so...that如此……以至于，结构中so后接形容词或副词；such...that如此……以至于，结构中such后接名词或名词短语；too...to太……而不能，结构中to后接动词原形。根据“...important...I don’t want...”可知，important是形容词，后面是句子，符合so...that用法。 6. — Harbin has changed a lot these years. All of us are ________ the changes of our hometown. — Yes, our hometown is the ________ of us. A. proud of, pride B. pride in, proud C. proud of, proud 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哈尔滨这些年变化很大。我们都为家乡的变化感到骄傲。——是的，我们的家乡是我们的骄傲。 proud为形容词，常用短语be proud of “为……感到骄傲”；pride“骄傲”，为名词。第一空“are”后接形容词短语be proud of；第二空the后接名词pride。 7. I had a test that morning, so I was reviewing my notes ________ I was waiting for the bus. I really hoped that I could get a good grade. A. when B. while C. since 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：那天早上我有个考试，所以我在等公交车的时候正在复习笔记。我真的希望我能取得好成绩。 when当……时，可以接短暂性动作，也可接延续性动词；while当……时，只接延续性动词，强调前后两个动作同时进行；since自从/因为。根据“I was reviewing my notes”和“I was waiting for the bus”可知，两个动作都是过去进行时，表示同时进行的持续性动作，需用连词while连接。 8. — Why are you so happy, Diana? — Well, all of my family are excited because my brother will ________ Lucy next Saturday. A. marry to B. get married with C. get married to 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——戴安娜，你为什么这么高兴？——嗯，我全家人都很兴奋，因为我哥哥下周六将要和露西结婚。 marry是及物动词，后直接接宾语，即marry sb.；表示“与某人结婚”常用固定短语get married to sb.，介词用to不用with。选项A多出了to，选项B介词错误，选项C搭配正确。 9. Mount Qomolangma is always there. But only ________ climbers reach the top, and that is only if they ________ the awful conditions first. A. the good; supply B. the better; suffer C. the best; survive 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：珠穆朗玛峰一直都在。但只有最好的登山者才能到达顶峰，而且那只有在他们首先挺过糟糕的条件的情况下才行。 the good可作名词表示某一类人；the better比较级；the best最高级；survive生存；supply提供；suffer遭受。根据“only”及常识可知，能登顶的是极少数最优秀的登山者，第一空应用最高级the best；awful conditions表示“糟糕的条件”，登山者需要先在这种恶劣条件下生存下来，第二空应用survive。 10. Our “mother river”—the Yellow River is facing a serious environmental problem, so we should protect it ________. A. as a result B. at all costs C. at the moment 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的“母亲河”——黄河正面临严重的环境问题，所以我们应该不惜任何代价保护它。 at all costs不惜任何代价；as a result因此；at the moment此刻。根据“facing a serious environmental problem”可知，环境问题严重，需要不惜任何代价去保护它。应填at all costs。 二、完形填空（本题共 10 分，每小题 1 分） The China International Search and ____11____ Team (CISAR) was formed in 2001. It brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by a storm, an earthquake, or any other ____12____ disasters. After long and careful training, the Chinese team went on ____13____ first international rescue tasks (任务) in 2003. That year, the team helped save lives after earthquakes in Algeria and Iran.

That means they have to be strong ____17____ in body ________ in mind. Rescue workers must have big hearts, ____18____. It takes lots of love and courage to risk their own lives ____19____ someone else’s. The members of the CISAR are always ready to go wherever help is needed. Rescue workers leave their homes and families for a job that offers little pay and less sleep. We ____20____ imagine how much they have given selflessly (无私地). We don’t even know most of their names.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国国际搜救队的发展历程、工作内容以及搜救队员无私奉献的精神，赞扬了他们是未被颂扬的英雄。 【11题详解】 句意：中国国际搜救队成立于2001年。 这是“中国国际救援队”的固定名称，后文也多次提到rescue tasks “救援任务”，Rescue“救援”符合语境。Review“回顾”、Remain“保持”均不符合固定搭配。 【12题详解】 句意：它为那些因暴风雨、地震或其他自然灾害而生活发生改变的人们带来帮助和希望。 根据“a storm, an earthquake”可知，暴风雨和地震都属于自然灾害。natural“自然的”符合语境。cultural“文化的”、normal“正常的”均不符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：经过长期细致的训练后，中国队于2003年开始执行其首次国际救援任务。 根据“first international rescue tasks”可知，此处指“中国队的首次国际任务”，应用形容词性物主代词its“它的”。it“它”、it’s“它是”均不符合语法要求。 【14题详解】 句意：从那以后，中国国际搜救队完成了许多救援任务——他们勇敢地面对恶劣环境，在印度尼西亚、海地和巴基斯坦救援受灾群众。 灾后灾区都是恶劣危险的环境，terrible conditions“糟糕的条件”符合语境，physical conditions“身体状况”、different emotions“不同情绪”均不符合文意。 【15题详解】 句意：例如，灾后通常没有电或水，还可能发生疾病和事故。 根据“there is...no electricity or water after a disaster”可知，此处应用副词修饰整个句子。usually“通常”符合语境。usual“通常的”为形容词；nearly“几乎”不符合文意。 【16题详解】 句意：救援人员能够挽救生命，但他们也必须处理死者相关事务。 根据“the dead”可知，此处表示“处理死者遗体等工作”。deal with“处理”符合语境。hear of“听说”、dream of“梦想”均不符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：这意味着他们不仅身体强壮，而且心理也要坚强。 根据“in body...in mind”可知，此处构成固定搭配not only...but also...，表示“不仅……而且……”，强调身体和心理双方面要求。either...or“或者……或者……”；neither...nor“既不……也不……”，均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：救援人员也必须有一颗博大的爱心。 根据前文介绍身体和心理强大可知，此处进一步补充要求。too表示“也”，用于肯定句句末，符合语境。either用于否定句句末；also通常位于句中。 【19题详解】 句意：冒着自己的生命危险去拯救别人的生命，需要极大的爱心和勇气。 冒险的目的是拯救别人的生命，此处应用动词不定式to save表示目的。save原形和saving形式均不符合结构。 【20题详解】 句意：我们无法想象他们无私地付出了多少。 根据“They are really unsung (未被颂扬的) heroes.”可知，时态为一般现在时，搜救队员付出巨大，令人难以想象。can’t“不能”符合语境。can“能够”与文意不符；couldn’t“不能”表示一般过去时，不符合全文时态。 三、阅读理解（本题共 20 分，每小题 1 分） （A） From: Laura To: Irene; Shirley Sent: 3 June 11:13 Subject: From: Irene To: Laura; Shirley Sent: 3 June 11:18 Subject: Hi girls!

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍三位好友Laura、Irene、Shirley通过多封邮件互相沟通，协商暑期结伴旅行的时间与目的地，最终敲定九月初一同前往德国，并约定线下细化出行细节。 【21题详解】 根据邮件头部的发送时间可知，Laura的邮件发送于“3 June 11:13”，Irene的是“11:18”，Shirley的是“14:12”。其中Laura的时间最早。 【22题详解】 根据Laura第一封邮件中“we need to start planning our summer or we won’t have any free time left in holidays”可知，她担心如果不开始计划，假期时间会被占满导致无法一起旅行。 【23题详解】 根据Irene的邮件内容“I was looking at my friend’s photos today and it looks great”可知，她是看了朋友的照片觉得德国很棒才建议去的。 【24题详解】 综合邮件内容，Irene建议9月初，Shirley同意9月第一周，Laura最后回复确认“Yes, I can do the first week of September”且目的地定为Germany，A选项正确。 【25题详解】 通读四封邮件，内容均围绕三位朋友商量暑期去哪里旅行、何时出行等计划展开，因此最佳主题是“假期计划”。 （B） When I was young, flowers filled my mom’s garden each spring. I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes (在幕后), until she shared her secret with me. One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs (球茎). I dropped one in each hole (坑) and covered it over with earth. My fingers were terribly cold by the time we finished. However, the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat (平的) as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter… On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of colorful flowers. Our hard work paid off. “My boy, tomorrow morning,” Mom said, “we will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each front door.” “What?” I almost cried. “Are we selling our flowers?” “Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even know they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a surprise. Doesn’t that sound fun?” “To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all!” I replied unhappily. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!” “Flowers are like kindness.” Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be shared.” Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first house. I took one basket, set it by the front door and rang the bell. Then we quickly ran away, hid behind the trees and waited. Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He picked up the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good feeling inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house. By the time we got home, I was having a big smile. The garden was empty, but my heart was full. 根据短文内容判断正、误。 （注意：考生将答题卡相应的位置涂黑。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”） 26. The writer and his mom planted flower bulbs in the garden in November of this year. 27. After they finished planting the bulbs, the ground looked completely different from before. 28. At first, the writer didn’t agree with his mom’s idea of giving flowers to the neighbors. 29. When they left flower baskets, they waited in front of the trees to see what would happen. 30. The writer finally understood that beauty and kindness should be shared with others. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者小时候认为花园里的花是自然生长的，直到去年十一月和母亲一起种植球茎，并在春天将收获的花朵匿名送给邻居，从而理解了母亲所说的“美在于分享”的道理，传达了乐于分享、传递善意的积极主题。 【26题详解】 第二段提到“One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs (球茎).”，作者和妈妈是在去年的十一月种植的球茎，而不是今年的十一月，句子描述错误。 【27题详解】 第二段提到“However, the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat (平的) as it had been before.”，种植完后地面看起来和以前一样空旷平坦，并没有完全不同，句子描述错误。 【28题详解】 第七段提到“‘To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all!’ I replied unhappily. ‘They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!’”，起初作者不同意妈妈把花送给邻居的想法，他认为应该留给自己，句子描述正确。 【29题详解】 第九段提到“Then we quickly ran away, hid behind the trees and waited.”，他们是躲在树后面等待，而不是在树前等待，句子描述错误。 【30题详解】 倒数第二段提到“Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing.”以及“The garden was empty, but my heart was full.”，作者最终理解了美和善意应该与他人分享，句子描述正确。 （C） Lightning strikes (袭击) kill millions of trees each year—but it is found that some large tropical (热带的) trees can not only stay alive after they’re hit by a strike, but also benefit from its effects, according to a recent study. Some trees are getting hit by lightning many times over their lifetime. But why can they survive? Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive (导电的). That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby and they don’t need to fight for food and water. Dipteryx oleifera (油桃木), a tree in Panama’s forests, has maybe experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average (平均). But, you know, some of them surely get far more times.” Evan Gora, a forest expert said. How long do these trees live in the forests? People can’t know how old these trees are in tropical forests because they don’t form rings that keep growing. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old. What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can they? 根据语篇内容，从每小题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选择最佳答案。 31. Why can some large tropical trees survive lightning strikes? A. They’re not often hit by lightning. B. The neighboring trees protect them. C. The lightning energy moves away from them. 32. What may happen after the large trees are hit by lightning? A. They win better living conditions. B. They have more neighbors around. C. They can face more kinds of danger. 33. What does the tree Dipteryx oleifera look like? A. Old and weak. B. Huge and tall. C. Clean and thin. 34. Why can’t people tell the real age of these tropical trees? A. The weather there is terrible. B. People don’t have proper tools. C. The trees don’t grow rings in a regular way. 35. Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A. Health. B. Nature. C. Technology. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇自然科普短文，介绍部分热带大树遭遇雷击后不仅能够存活，还能从中获益，并介绍了相关树木的外形、树龄特点，最后点明文章蕴含的道理。 【31题详解】 根据原文第二段“That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them.”可知，雷电的能量会转移到周边树木，不会留在这些大树体内，因此它们能在雷击后存活。 【32题详解】 根据原文第二段“The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby and they don’t need to fight for food and water.”可知，雷击会除掉寄生藤蔓、减少争抢资源的周边树木，让大树拥有更好的生存条件。 【33题详解】 根据原文第三段“If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height.”可知油桃木体型巨大、十分高大。 【34题详解】 根据原文第四段“People can’t know how old these trees are in tropical forests because they don’t form rings that keep growing.”可知这类树木无法形成规律生长的年轮，因此人们无法判断真实树龄。 【35题详解】 全文围绕热带树木、雷击、森林植被等自然界相关内容展开，属于自然板块文章。 （D） Do you often have negative (负面的) thoughts? Do you and your friends often complain (抱怨) about things? ____36____ ●Find the positive (积极乐观的), however small. Bad things happen to all of us, but the most important thing is to focus on the positive. For example, next time you are caught in traffic, think how great it is that you can finish listening to your favorite music. If you don’t have much in your fridge, get creative and think of what you can invent with the ingredients (食材) you have. ____37____ ●Focus on now It’s easy to think too much about things that have already happened and to get worried about what will happen tomorrow. ____38____ But remember, you can’t change the past, and no one can control the future, so the best thing is to focus on the present. ●____39____ Being around negative people will make you feel negative, too. Spend time with people who will make you laugh and help you believe in yourself, not those that spend all day complaining. It’s hard to feel negative when you have positive people around you. ●Be kind to others One of the best ways to make yourself feel good is to help others. ____40____ Spending time helping other people can give you a better perspective(视角)on life and make you value what you have. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项多余。 A. We all do this sometimes. B. Find positive friends and partners. C. Always remind yourself to work hard. D. It can be exciting to try something new. E. Find ways to volunteer in your community. F. The following can help you feel positive about life. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. A 39. B 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，针对负面想法和抱怨的常见问题，给出关注积极面、活在当下、结交益友、乐于助人四种方法，帮助人们保持积极心态。 【36题详解】 根据“Do you often have negative thoughts? Do you and your friends often complain about things?” 可知，文章开头提出了两个关于负面情绪和抱怨的问题，选项F“以下方法可以帮助你对生活保持积极的态度。”符合语境，直接引出了下文的建议内容，起到了承上启下的作用，故选F。 【37题详解】 根据“For example, next time you are caught in traffic…what you can invent with the ingredients (食材) you have.”可知，前文提出“找积极面”的建议并举例，这里应总结该建议的效果，选项D“尝试新事物会很令人兴奋。”符合语境，承接前文“用现有食材创新做菜”的例子，说明积极行动带来的愉悦感，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据“It’s easy to think too much about things that have already happened and to get worried about what will happen tomorrow.”及下文“But remember, you can’t change the past…”可知，此处讨论了人们容易过度思考过去和未来，选项A“我们有时都会这样。”符合语境，承认了这是一种普遍现象，自然地过渡到后文的建议，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据“Being around negative people will make you feel negative, too. Spend time with people who will make you laugh…”可知，这里应是该段落的小标题，建议找积极的人相处，选项B“寻找积极的朋友和伙伴。”符合语境，概括该段“远离消极的人，靠近积极的人”的主旨，故选B。 【40题详解】 根据“One of the best ways to make yourself feel good is to help others.”可知，这里应举例说明帮助他人的方式，选项E“寻找在社区做志愿者的方式。”符合语境，承接前文“帮助他人”的建议，给出具体的行动方法，故选E。 第 II 卷 四、任务性阅读（本题共 20 分，61-70 每小题 0.5 分，71-80 每小题 1 分） 先阅读（A）、（B）、（C）三篇短文，然后根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列三项任务。 （A） 阅读短文，用方框中所给单词填空，使文章通顺、连贯、合理。（每个单词限用一次，每空限填一个单词） protect, technology, deep, conditions, survive, store, include, challenging, create, deal When people do not get enough food, they cannot grow strong or healthy.

Some plants can take in salt and ____50____ it in their cells (细胞). 【答案】41. include 42. create 43. technology 44. challenging 45. conditions 46. survive 47. deal 48. protect 49. deep 50. store 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了如何保障食物供应。建议多吃植物类食物，科学家正研发耐旱作物、利用技术应对沙漠种植挑战，并介绍了沙漠植物适应干旱环境的多种生存策略。 【41题详解】 句意：我们应该在日常饮食中包括大量的蔬菜。情态动词should后须使用动词原形；结合前文“When people do not get enough food”与后文“plenty of vegetables and other foods from plants”，文章表达饮食里需要纳入蔬果来补充营养，include表示“包含、纳入”，符合句子逻辑与语境。 【42题详解】 句意：例如，他们培育能在困难条件下生存的植物。主语是They，此处指科学家们，此处描述科学家的行为，需用动词原形。结合上文“They are thinking of all kinds of new ways to grow plants”，科学家的工作是创造、培育新型作物，create有“创造、培育”的含义，贴合科研改良植物的语境。 【43题详解】 句意：并利用技术在沙漠等地方种植新鲜食物。use后要接名词作宾语，结合前文科学家研究种植新方法的背景，依靠技术改造荒漠种植作物，technology意为“科技”，契合利用新技术发展种植的文意。 【44题详解】 句意：植物在沙漠中生存是相当有挑战性的。It’s quite后要接形容词作表语。根据后文描述的酷热、缺水等困难，可知challenging“充满挑战的”，符合语境。 【45题详解】 句意：并且拥有贫瘠的土地状况。poor修饰名词，此处指土地的“状况”不好。名词condition意为“状况”， 符合语境，表 “环境、土质条件”，要用复数形式conditions。 【46题详解】 句意：这使得大多数植物很难生存。根据空格前的“makes it hard for most plants to”及短语be hard for sb. to do sth.意为“对某人来说做某事很难”，可知此处to后接动词原形。根据句意，土壤含盐导致植物难以“生存”，survive意为“生存”，符合语境，故填动词原形survive。 【47题详解】 句意：植物想出了聪明的方法来处理沙漠生活的挑战。根据空格前的“ways to”，结合短语ways to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”，可知此处要填入动词原形，空格后是“with”，固定短语deal with意为“应对、处理”，后文“the challenges of living in the desert”是需要应对的生存难题，deal满足搭配与句意双重要求。 【48题详解】 句意：沙漠植物长有窄小叶或叶片蜡层，以此保护自身免受烈日灼伤。此处to为动词不定式符号，表目的，后要接动词原形，叶片特殊结构的作用是抵御阳光伤害，固定搭配“protect...from...”意为“保护……免受……”，protect符合语境。 【49题详解】 句意：它们还长有深入地下吸水的深长根系。此处修饰名词roots需用形容词。根据“go far into the ground”可知根很“深”，deep“深的”，符合语境，直接填入deep，作定语。 【50题详解】 句意：有些植物可以吸收盐分并将其储存在细胞中。and用于连接并列谓语，take是原形，所以此处也填动词原形。根据句意将盐分“储存”在细胞里，store作动词时，意为“储存”，符合语境。 （B） 根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you prefer to live where it snows in winter or enjoy warm sunshine all year round?

One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs (球茎). I dropped one in each hole (坑) and covered it over with earth. My fingers were terribly cold by the time we finished. However, the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat (平的) as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter… On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of colorful flowers. Our hard work paid off. “My boy, tomorrow morning,” Mom said, “we will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each front door.” “What?” I almost cried. “Are we selling our flowers?” “Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even know they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a surprise. Doesn’t that sound fun?” “To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all!” I replied unhappily. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!” “Flowers are like kindness.” Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be shared.” Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first house. I took one basket, set it by the front door and rang the bell. Then we quickly ran away, hid behind the trees and waited. Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He picked up the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good feeling inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house. By the time we got home, I was having a big smile. The garden was empty, but my heart was full. 根据短文内容判断正、误。 （注意：考生将答题卡相应的位置涂黑。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”） 26. The writer and his mom planted flower bulbs in the garden in November of this year. 27. After they finished planting the bulbs, the ground looked completely different from before. 28. At first, the writer didn’t agree with his mom’s idea of giving flowers to the neighbors. 29. When they left flower baskets, they waited in front of the trees to see what would happen. 30. The writer finally understood that beauty and kindness should be shared with others. （C） Lightning strikes (袭击) kill millions of trees each year—but it is found that some large tropical (热带的) trees can not only stay alive after they’re hit by a strike, but also benefit from its effects, according to a recent study. Some trees are getting hit by lightning many times over their lifetime. But why can they survive? Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive (导电的). That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby and they don’t need to fight for food and water. Dipteryx oleifera (油桃木), a tree in Panama’s forests, has maybe experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average (平均). But, you know, some of them surely get far more times.” Evan Gora, a forest expert said. How long do these trees live in the forests? People can’t know how old these trees are in tropical forests because they don’t form rings that keep growing. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old. What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can they? 根据语篇内容，从每小题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选择最佳答案。 31. Why can some large tropical trees survive lightning strikes? A. They’re not often hit by lightning. B.

However, people in cold places find fun ways to enjoy winter! In Harbin, China, the Snow and Ice Festival starts in January and lasts until March. Artists cut ice from the Songhua River and build tall sculptures (雕塑) that are lit with colorful lights. By late December, visitors come to see this icy world filled with ice works of art and shining buildings. The beauty surprises them, although it’s very cold! In Quebec, Canada, there’s an amazing Ice Hotel that is made of 2,300 ice pieces and 15,000 tons of snow! People love staying in its icy rooms for a special winter experience. Even kids in Sweden can enjoy making snow lanterns (灯笼). They first make large snowballs and then put candles (蜡烛) inside to create warm lights. These simple lanterns light up the dark winter nights.
