It was a cold day in winter, but all the family got into Uncle Tom’s truck (卡车) to head for our forest picnic. There were seven kids and Uncle Tom, Uncle Scotty and my mom. What a noise we made! Everybody was excited about the picnic as we had been planning it for weeks.
We arrived at the forest at 11:00 am and stopped the truck. Uncle Scotty took out our things from the back and we were all given something to carry. We had walked only a few steps before Carla dropped her bag. Eggs and tomatoes went everywhere. We were able to pick up a few of the eggs, but some of them became food for the lizards (蜥蜴)!
Finally, we got to the picnic area, which was close to a beautiful lake. My mom had made many sandwiches and handed them around. After lunch, Robbie and I went down to the lake to look for tadpoles (蝌蚪). A couple of the older girls even went swimming, but it was too cold for me. We packed (打包) everything up and made sure not to leave any rubbish behind.
The walk back to the truck was lots of fun until Marco decided that eating eight sandwiches hadn’t been very clever. Up came his lunch all over the place and we had to run away from him for cover! Even so, we had one of the best days ever.

Who Invented TETRIS?
Have you ever played a famous video game called Tetris? It is a very fun game. If you have played it before, you know it is hard to stop playing once you start. If you have never played it, don’t worry, because it is very easy to learn.
When you play Tetris, you see an empty box on the screen. Pieces of different shapes fall from the top of the screen. These falling pieces are called Tetriminos. The player needs to move and turn the pieces carefully. The goal is to make a full, unbroken horizontal (平行的) line with no empty spaces. When you successfully make a full line, the line disappears, and you get points. But you must be careful! The game ends if the pieces pile up and touch the top of the box. Also, as you play for a longer time, the pieces will fall faster and faster. This makes the game more and more difficult.
Today, Tetris is one of the most popular and best-selling video games in the world. But do you know who invented it? A Russian computer engineer named Alexey Pajitnov created the game in the year 1984. He got the wonderful idea from his favorite board game.
Tetris became a big hit very quickly. At first, people only played it on computers. But soon, people could play it on other machines. It became very popular on Nintendo’s Game Boy. Later, in 1996, Alexey started the Tetris Company.
Did you know that Tetris was the first video game ever played in space? In 1993, a Russian man named Aleksandr Serebrov played it on his Game Boy while he was traveling in a rocket!
Tetris is not just a fun game. It is also good for your brain. In a 2009 study, scientists asked some kids to play Tetris for about 30 minutes every day for three months. This helped certain parts of the kids’ brains grow bigger and stronger.
Many people love playing Tetris. However, some people play it too much. They spend so much time on the game that they even see the Tetriminos falling in their dreams at night! People call this the “Tetris Effect.”
Playing games is fun, but always remember to ask your parents for permission first. Also, remember to set a time limit and not play for too long!
36. When playing Tetris, a player should ________.
A. place one Tetrimino on top of another
B. pile up the Tetriminos as high as possible
C. make Tetriminos form unbroken horizontal lines

37. If a player keeps playing a game of Tetris, ________.
A. only rectangular Tetriminos will fall
B. the Tetriminos will fall faster and faster
C. the Matrix will become larger and larger
D. the screen will be full of lines in different directions
38. According to the article, Aleksandr Serebrov ________.

A. an, a B. a; the C. an; / D. a; an
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:想象独自待在一个岛上。你可能想要选择一个太阳能媒体播放器来娱乐,以消除不良情绪。
第一空,island是以元音音素开头的单词,表示泛指“一个”,故用不定冠词an;第二空,solar是以辅音音素开头的单词,表示泛指“一个”,故用不定冠词a。
2. In the poem by Du Fu, the poet wanted to climb to the top of Mount Taishan and view all the ________ small below.
A. borders B. bridges C. peaks D. waves
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:在杜甫的诗中,诗人想要登上泰山的顶峰,俯瞰下面所有显得渺小的山峰。
borders边界;bridges桥梁;peaks山峰;waves波浪。根据杜甫《望岳》中“会当凌绝顶,一览众山小”的诗意可知,登上泰山顶上,其他的“山峰”显得渺小。应填peaks。
3. — Rivers flow into the lake, but now people take ________ water from them.
— That’s terrible! The lake will dry up if we don’t stop it.
A. too many B. too much C. fewer D. less
【答案】B

too many太多(修饰可数名词复数);too much太多(修饰不可数名词);less更少;fewer更少。此处用来修饰不可数名词water,根据答语“The lake will dry up”可知,人们取走的水过多,too much符合语境。

either; or或者……或者……(表示两者中选择其一);neither; nor既不……也不……(表示双重否定);not only; but also不仅……而且……(表示并列递进);both; and既……又……(表示并列肯定)。根据下文的“It’s so clean and beautiful”可知,游泳上班让人感到非常干净且美好,说明一路上“既没有”交通拥堵,“也没有”噪音,此处应用表示双重否定的并列连词neither…nor…。应填neither; nor。
5. —I’ve noticed that some kids get lost in video games and are deaf ________ the real world.

【解析】
【详解】句意:——我注意到有些孩子沉迷于电子游戏,对现实世界充耳不闻。——确实如此。我们应该帮助他们以平衡的方式娱乐。
with和……一起;to对……;about关于;from来自。根据“some kids get lost in video games”可知,孩子沉迷游戏,忽略现实世界,固定短语be deaf to意为“对……充耳不闻;对……不理睬”,符合语境。

—Because the countryside is much ________.
A. quiet B. quieter C. quietest D. the quietest
【答案】B

A. famous B. more famous C. most famous D. the most famous
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——中国哪个博物馆很有名?——中国国家自然历史博物馆是我国最著名的博物馆之一。

8. —The hotel room was very comfortable, just like my own home.
—So it was ________ comfortable ________ your own home.
A. as; as B. more; than C. less; than D. so; that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——酒店房间非常舒适,就像我自己家一样。——所以它和你自己家一样舒适。
根据上文“just like my own home”可知,酒店房间与家里的舒适程度相同。as...as为原级比较结构,表示两者程度一样;more/less...than为比较级结构;so...that引导结果状语从句。结合语境可知应用原级比较结构。
9. —It’s reported that Zhao Li spent his life ________ insects in the mountains and forests.
—How respectable he is! He turned his interest into a lifelong career.
A. study B. to study C. studying D. studied

10. —To protect our earth, we should make space ________ more trees instead of farming.
—I agree. Forests are very important to the environment.
A. plant B. planting C. to plant D. planted
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——为了保护我们的地球,我们应该腾出空间去种植更多的树而不是耕种。——我同意。森林对环境非常重要。
根据“we should make space…more trees”可知,此处表示腾出空间的目的是为了种树,应用动词不定式作目的状语。
11. —Look at the poster. The different natural wonders share a big problem. They are ________ help.
—Yes, they are disappearing, and we must do something.

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看这张海报。不同的自然奇观都有一个共同的大问题。它们正在大声呼救。——是的,它们正在消失,我们必须做点什么。
crying aloud for迫切需要、大声寻求;doing away with废除、去掉;looking forward to期待;catching up with赶上。根据答语中“they are disappearing”可知自然奇观面临消失的危险,处境紧急,需要帮助。crying aloud for符合“迫切需要帮助”的语境,其他选项与句意逻辑不符。

—Because they can easily ________ our time, minute by minute, without being noticed.
A. eat away B. do away with C. put into D. miss out on
【答案】A

eat away消耗/侵蚀;do away with废除/去掉;put into投入;miss out on错过。根据上文“time-eating monster”可知,此处指游戏会消耗时间,eat away符合语境。

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:不要错过与亲人在一起的甜蜜时光!站起来,离开屏幕。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jackson起初只知学习却成绩不佳,后在老师建议下平衡学习与娱乐,最终提高成绩并享受生活的故事。
【16题详解】
句意:我拒绝了,认为学习最重要。
根据前文朋友邀请他打篮球,以及他觉得自己要备考,可知他“拒绝”了邀请,故选refused。“talked”谈话,“agreed”同意 (与后文矛盾),“accepted”接受 (与后文矛盾),均不符合。
【17题详解】
句意:然而,事情发生了不同的变化。
根据前文他拒绝娱乐拼命学习,后文却成绩不好,事情与预期“不同”,故选differently。“usually”通常,“expectedly”如预期地,“quickly”快速地,均不符合。

【21题详解】
句意:你可以规划你的时间,花一些时间在学习上,留一些给你喜欢的事情。
根据前文老师建议平衡“work and fun”,此处“spend some on studying”与“leaving some for what you like”形成对比,故用“studying”。“playing”玩耍 (与后文重复),“resting”休息,“relaxing”放松,均不如“studying”准确。
【22题详解】
句意:……我开始制定学习计划,并为爱好留出一些时间。
“leave some time for”意为“为……留出时间”,符合语境,故选leave。“waste”浪费,“need”需要,“carry”携带,均不符合。

We arrived at the forest at 11:00 am and stopped the truck. Uncle Scotty took out our things from the back and we were all given something to carry. We had walked only a few steps before Carla dropped her bag. Eggs and tomatoes went everywhere. We were able to pick up a few of the eggs, but some of them became food for the lizards (蜥蜴)!
Finally, we got to the picnic area, which was close to a beautiful lake. My mom had made many sandwiches and handed them around. After lunch, Robbie and I went down to the lake to look for tadpoles (蝌蚪). A couple of the older girls even went swimming, but it was too cold for me. We packed (打包) everything up and made sure not to leave any rubbish behind.
The walk back to the truck was lots of fun until Marco decided that eating eight sandwiches hadn’t been very clever. Up came his lunch all over the place and we had to run away from him for cover! Even so, we had one of the best days ever.

Who Invented TETRIS?
Have you ever played a famous video game called Tetris? It is a very fun game. If you have played it before, you know it is hard to stop playing once you start. If you have never played it, don’t worry, because it is very easy to learn.
When you play Tetris, you see an empty box on the screen. Pieces of different shapes fall from the top of the screen. These falling pieces are called Tetriminos. The player needs to move and turn the pieces carefully. The goal is to make a full, unbroken horizontal (平行的) line with no empty spaces. When you successfully make a full line, the line disappears, and you get points. But you must be careful! The game ends if the pieces pile up and touch the top of the box. Also, as you play for a longer time, the pieces will fall faster and faster. This makes the game more and more difficult.
Today, Tetris is one of the most popular and best-selling video games in the world. But do you know who invented it? A Russian computer engineer named Alexey Pajitnov created the game in the year 1984. He got the wonderful idea from his favorite board game.
Tetris became a big hit very quickly. At first, people only played it on computers. But soon, people could play it on other machines. It became very popular on Nintendo’s Game Boy. Later, in 1996, Alexey started the Tetris Company.
Did you know that Tetris was the first video game ever played in space? In 1993, a Russian man named Aleksandr Serebrov played it on his Game Boy while he was traveling in a rocket!
Tetris is not just a fun game. It is also good for your brain. In a 2009 study, scientists asked some kids to play Tetris for about 30 minutes every day for three months. This helped certain parts of the kids’ brains grow bigger and stronger.
Many people love playing Tetris. However, some people play it too much. They spend so much time on the game that they even see the Tetriminos falling in their dreams at night! People call this the “Tetris Effect.”
Playing games is fun, but always remember to ask your parents for permission first. Also, remember to set a time limit and not play for too long!
36. When playing Tetris, a player should ________.
A. place one Tetrimino on top of another

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇对话,是导游和学生在海洋奇观展览上的交流。导游向学生介绍并解答了关于深海鮟鱇鱼的奇特外形、发光捕食习性以及特殊栖息环境等科普常识。
【41题详解】
根据下文导游的回答“Good question! The anglerfish is special because it can give off light.”中提到这是一个好问题,并解释了鮟鱇鱼为什么特殊可知,上文学生应当是在询问关于鮟鱇鱼的特别之处。E项“Wow, what’s so special about the anglerfish?”符合语境逻辑。
【42题详解】
根据空后一句“It looks like a lantern.”可知,学生正在描述某个会发光的物体的外观。F项“Check out that glowing (发光的) thing in front of its mouth.”与后文灯笼的比喻完美呼应。
【43题详解】
根据上文学生指出鮟鱇鱼嘴前发光的东西“looks like a lantern”这一敏锐细致的观察,以及下文导游进一步解释其吸引小鱼的作用可知,此处导游是在赞赏学生的观察力。A项“Great powers of observation (观察)!”契合此处赞许的语境。
【44题详解】
根据下文导游的解释“The light attracts the fish. When they are close enough, the anglerfish opens its mouth and eats them.”详细描述了鮟鱇鱼如何利用光线吸引小鱼、张嘴进食的过程可知,上文学生是在询问鮟鱇鱼具体是如何捕食的。D项“How does the anglerfish catch its food?”符合问答逻辑。
【45题详解】
根据上文学生的提问“…can we keep anglerfish at home as pets?”以及导游直接的否定回答“No.”,再结合空后提到“…due to their specific habitat needs.”可知,此处是在解释为什么不能在家里养它们。C项“They prefer the deep, dark sea.”解释了这一特定环境需求的原因。
六、完成句子(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
(A)根据所给中文意思完成句子,每空限填一词。

We shouldn’t always sit on the sofa and eat snacks; we don’t want to be ________ ________.
【答案】 ①.
couch ②.

【详解】原句中“老泡在电视机前的人”是关键词,表示“老泡在电视机前的人”的短语是“couch potato”,主语We是复数,因此potato需变为复数形式potatoes。
48. 太阳升起时,工人们吃完早餐,动身踏上了去农场的路。
When the sun rose, the workers finished their breakfast and ________ ________ for the farm.
【答案】 ①.
set ②.
off
【解析】
【详解】原句中“动身”是关键词,表示“动身”的短语set off或set out。句中前半部分谓语动词rose和finished均为一般过去时,由连词and连接并列谓语,因此空缺处动词也需用过去式。动词set的过去式与原形相同,仍为set。“set off for+地点”意为“动身前往某地”。故填set;off。
49. 智能手机在很多方面改变了我们的日常生活,比如看新闻和听音乐。
Smartphones have changed our ________ ________ in many ways, such as reading news and listening to music.

50. 多亏了他的好朋友,这个小男孩最终找到了回家的路。
________ ________ his good friend, the little boy finally found his way home.
【答案】 ①. Thanks ②. to
【解析】

(B)根据提示完成句子
51. The tea is very hot. Don’t b________ your mouth.
【答案】
burn##urn
【解析】
【详解】句意:茶很烫。不要烫到你的嘴。根据“Don’t b... your mouth.”及首字母提示可知,该句为否定祈使句,其结构为“Don’t+动词原形”,表示“不要做某事”,因此此处需要一个动词原形来表示“烫伤”的意思,动词“burn”符合句意。故填burn。
52. I don’t know how to e________ my love for the nature.
【答案】
express##xpress
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不知道如何表达我对大自然的热爱。根据首字母e以及语境可知,此处表示“表达”,为“疑问词+不定式”结构,to后用动词原形。故填express。
53. The young girl looked at the terrible news ________ (calm), What a brave girl!
【答案】
calmly
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个小女孩平静地看着这则糟糕的消息,多么勇敢的女孩啊! 句中空格修饰动词短语looked at,修饰动词要用副词。calm是形容词,意为“平静的”,其副词形式为calmly。
54. Adam runs ________ (fast) in our class, so we all think he can take part in the sports meeting.

【详解】句意:Adam在我们班跑得最快,所以我们都认为他可以参加运动会。根据“in our class”可知,这是在三者或三者以上之间进行比较,因此需要使用最高级;fast是副词形式,最高级形式为fastest,副词最高级前通常不需要加定冠词the,故填fastest。
55. —How do you feel when being home alone for the first time?
—It’s hard to say. It’s an ________ (难以忘怀的) memory for me.
【答案】
unforgettable
【解析】
【详解】句意:——第一次独自在家时,你感觉如何?——很难说。对我来说,这是一段难忘的记忆。空处作定语修饰名词memory,中文提示“难以忘怀的”对应的英文是unforgettable,形容词作定语。

任务型阅读
John Aiken bought a bike helmet (头盔) and it saved his life a week later. He was hit by a car while riding home. His bike was broken, but his helmet protected him from a serious head injury (伤害). John used to think helmets were unnecessary, but he changed his mind. He spoke to the City Council about bike-helmet laws, which led to a new law in the city. Now, people under 18 must wear helmets while cycling.
Mike Jones, a 15-year-old boy from South Dakota, learned about safety through the hard way. He was seriously hurt in a car accident because he didn’t wear a seat belt. Now, he always wears one. He can’t play sports any more because of his injury.
More people in the US are becoming safety-conscious. Susan Gallagher, a safety expert, says kids must learn to be safe. New technology and laws are also helping to prevent injuries. More people use fire alarms and seat belts. Bike-helmet laws like the one John helped pass encourage people to be safer. The number of serious injuries has gone down. Kids like John and Mike are showing that safety works.

根据“The number of serious injuries has gone down”可知,这些年来,事故中严重受伤的人数有所下降。根据“over the years”可知,此句时态为现在完成时,主语为“The number of”,用has gone down。故填has gone down。
