Cui Chenxi is a boy from Shenyang. Years ago, he was a seventh-grader. When he was preparing lessons before class, he noticed a mistake on a page of the English textbook. In one of the pictures, there is a hoverfly (食蚜蝇), and there is a word under the picture to describe it. The word is “bee”.
Cui reported the mix-up of two insects to the textbook’s publisher and quickly got a reply. The publisher confirmed (确认) the mistake after asking a biology teacher. They said they would correct the mistake by replacing the wrong picture in a reprinted version (版本). Besides, the publisher thanked the boy for reporting the mistake, and praised him for being “really professional”.
When asked how he discovered the mistake, Cui said, “It’s simple. Bees have two pairs of wings while hoverflies have only one pair. Bees are fat with their round bellies but hoverflies are thin. What’s more, bees’ tentacles (触须) are clear to see while those of hoverflies are obscure.”
According to Cui’s mother, the boy shows a great interest in biology. He raised 10 types of ants in his primary school days to find out the insects’ habits and how their work is divided.
The family keeps hundreds of books about natural science. And Cui has a bookshelf of his own. Thanks to his parents’ support, Cui is happy to learn what he loves.

A new report from the United Nations said that glaciers (冰川) are melting (融化) faster than ever before. This is a problem because many people depend on these glaciers for their food and water. To solve it, China is using some smart ideas to make glaciers melt slowly.
One idea is to use special glacier blankets (毯子). At Dagu Glacier in Sichuan, scientists covered a 500-square-meter area with blankets made of geotextiles (土工织物). The blankets stopped the glacier from getting too hot from the sun, which slowed melting by about 34% from August 2020 to October 2021. Another test used very thin, high-tech blankets on Glacier No.1 in Xinjiang. They worked best in summer. The test showed they slowed melting by up to 70% during the hottest months.
Scientists also create artificial snow (人造雪) to help glaciers stay cooler and melt more slowly. In April and May 2023, scientists did this in the Bailanghe Glacier in the Qilian Mountains. This project used rockets to make snow. The glacier grew 5.9% bigger.
Besides, China also tries to watch glaciers carefully. Now drones (无人机) and satellites (卫星) are used to monitor (监控) glaciers.
China’s good actions have made a difference to protecting glaciers. These actions not only slow down melting but also provide important experience for global climate actions.
17. How many ways has China taken to protect glaciers?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
18. How can glacier blankets help protect glaciers?
A. They help produce more water. B. They help glaciers grow bigger.
C. They stop glaciers from getting hot. D. They keep watch on the change of glaciers.
19. What is the structure (结构) of this article?
A. B. C. D.
20. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Trouble of Glaciers. B. Glacier Protection in China.
C. Beautiful Views of Glaciers. D. Global Climate Problems.
D
Jim Hawkins hid behind a big barrel. His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking.
“Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly, “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island, we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.”
“But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously.
“Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.”
Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them.
“What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly.
“Then we will have to act quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.”
“Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly.
Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise.
“What was that?” Silver asked sharply, looking around the dark places.
“Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said.
“Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have problems at this important time.”
Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him. Everyone’s safety depended on his ability to get away from it and tell his friends about the danger.
(Adapted from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson)
21. When did the scene of the story happen?
A. In the morning. B. At night. C. In the afternoon. D. At noon.
22. What was Long John Silver’s real plan?
A. To help Jim find the treasure safely.
B. To sail to a different island for food.
C. To take the treasure and kill the stoppers.
D. To give the treasure back to the gentlemen.
23. Why did Jim decide to leave his hiding place immediately?
A. He wanted to find the treasure himself.
B. He needed to warn his friends of the danger.
C. He was afraid of staying in the dark alone.
D. He planned to fight against the pirates.
24. Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Jim heard the pirates’ secret plan. b. Jim tried to move away quietly.
c. Jim hid behind the barrel. d. Jim’s foot hit a board and made noise.
e. Silver and his men became doubtful.
A. c-a-b-d-e B. a-c-b-d-e C. c-b-a-d-e D. a-b-c-e-d

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述作者一家出租房屋,一位面容丑陋但心灵美好的老人借宿,他的乐观和感恩教会了作者接纳与感激的道理。
【1题详解】
句意:我们住在楼下,把楼上的房间租给病人。
上下文逻辑——房子对面是医院,租给“病人”最合理,即patients(病人)。doctors(医生)、workers(工人)、nurses(护士)均不符合常理。
【2题详解】
句意:他的脸看起来很可怕。
后文他自述“my face looks terrible”,且下文提到skin cancer(皮肤癌),外貌应很糟糕,terrible(可怕的)符合。handsome(英俊)、calm(平静)、angry(生气)均不符。
【3题详解】
句意:我在想你们是否有一间房只住一晚?
此处为礼貌询问是否有一间房只住一晚,wonder if...表示“想知道是否……”,wondering(想知道)符合。thinking(思考)、believing(相信)、knowing(知道),语气均不如wondering符合陌生人询问的语境。
【4题详解】
句意:但他接下来的话改变了我的想法。
前文“我想拒绝”,后文“他解释后我同意了”,所以是“改变主意”,changed(改变)符合。lost(失去)、made(使)、kept(保持),均不符。
【5题详解】
句意:他告诉我他捕鱼谋生,为了养活他的女儿、她的三个孩子以及她的丈夫——他在一次事故中受了重伤。
根据“fish for a living”固定搭配,可知意为“以捕鱼为生”。of(……的)、with(和)、 to(到),无此搭配。
【6题详解】
句意:令人惊讶的是,他并没有以悲伤的方式讲述这些。
前文讲他生活艰难,但他却“没有悲伤地讲述”,形成反差,用“令人惊讶”最贴切,即Surprisingly(令人惊讶地)。Happily(高兴地)、Excitedly(兴奋地)、Naturally(自然地),均不符。
【7题详解】
句意:事实上,他很感恩于没有疼痛伴随他的疾病。
表示“疾病没有带来疼痛”,came with(伴随……而来)符合。came to(达到)、came into(进入)、came on(开始),均不符。
【8题详解】
句意:他仔细地清洗每一片叶子,知道他必须走上三英里路去邮寄这些,也知道自己挣的钱多么少,使得这些礼物更加珍贵。
根据修饰little用how(多么),可知表示程度。what(什么)修饰名词,that(那)/when(何时)不符合语法。
【9题详解】
句意:我拒绝过他!你让他进来会失去房客的!
邻居表示“我当初拒绝过他”,与前文作者接受形成对比,refused(拒绝)符合。accepted(接受)、punished(惩罚)、welcomed(欢迎),均不符。
【10题详解】
句意:但我知道我们的家人会永远感激他。
全文结尾升华主题——作者一家感谢那位老人教会他们生活态度,固定搭配be thankful to sb.“感激某人”,thankful(感激的)符合。polite(礼貌的)、helpful(有帮助的)、generous(慷慨的),都不符合。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了沈阳男孩崔宸溪在英语课本中发现一张图片将食蚜蝇误标为蜜蜂,并向出版社报告后获得确认和感谢的故事,同时介绍了他对生物学的浓厚兴趣。
【14题详解】
文章第一段指出“In one of the pictures, there is a hoverfly, and there is a word under the picture to describe it. The word is ‘bee’.”,直接说明他发现食蚜蝇的图片被误标为蜜蜂。
【15题详解】
文章第三段崔宸溪对比蜜蜂和食蚜蝇的特征,前文说蜜蜂的触须清晰可见(clear),后半句用while形成对比,说明食蚜蝇的触须不清楚。由此推断,“obscure”意为“模糊的”。
【16题详解】
文章介绍了崔宸溪发现课本错误并报告出版社的经历,以及他从小热爱生物学的背景。由此推断,文章的目的是介绍一位在课本中发现错误的男孩。

Jim Hawkins hid behind a big barrel. His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking.
“Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly, “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island, we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.”
“But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously.
“Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.”
Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them.
“What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly.
“Then we will have to act quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.”
“Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly.
Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise.
“What was that?” Silver asked sharply, looking around the dark places.
“Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said.
“Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have problems at this important time.”
Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him. Everyone’s safety depended on his ability to get away from it and tell his friends about the danger.
(Adapted from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson)

D. All the pirates went to sleep and forgot the noise.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Jim Hawkins躲在大桶后偷听到海盗Long John Silver等人夺取宝藏并杀害阻止者的计划,他打算告知朋友,却在离开时因发出声响引起海盗怀疑。
【21题详解】
在原文倒数第三段“‘What was that?’ Silver asked sharply, looking around the dark places.”。可知Silver看向黑暗的地方,说明当时环境是黑暗的,由此可推断故事场景发生在夜晚,所以答案是B。
【22题详解】
在原文第二段“‘Listen, my friends,’ Long John Silver said quietly. ‘Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island, we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.’”。可知Silver明确表示第二天早上到达岛屿时,他们要拿走宝藏并杀死任何试图阻止他们的人,所以答案是C。
【23题详解】
在原文倒数第四段“Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place”。可知Jim知道他必须马上把听到的危险计划告诉他的朋友们,所以决定立刻离开藏身之处,答案是B。
【24题详解】
根据故事发展顺序:首先吉姆躲在桶后c,然后听到海盗的秘密计划a,接着试图悄悄离开b,随后脚碰到木板发出噪音d,最后Silver等人产生怀疑e。正确顺序为c-a-b-d-e,故选A。

【26题详解】
上文提出问题“but where do you start?”(但你从哪里开始呢?),下文接着列举了具体的建议。F项“Here are some suggestions to pick a great book.”(这里有一些挑选好书的建议)承上启下,自然引出下文内容。
【27题详解】
上文提到“librarians”(图书管理员),下文说明他们能根据你的喜好推荐书籍。B项“They are always smart.”(他们总是很聪明)中的“They”指代图书管理员,进一步解释了为何他们是最好的咨询对象。
【28题详解】
此处位于段首,且后文均为具体建议内容,故此处应为小标题。本段主要讲述尝试新的书籍风格(Changing to a new style),不要局限于一种类型。E项“Make a change.”(做出改变)准确概括了本段主旨。
【29题详解】
本段主题是“Read reviews”(阅读书评)。上文提到书的封面上通常会有简短的书评,下文提到“Some websites”(一些网站)。D项“You can also read reviews online.”(你也可以在线阅读书评)起到了衔接作用,从实体书封底过渡到网络网站。
【30题详解】
下文由“But”引导转折,建议挑战自己读更难的书(read something more difficult)。因此空白处应表达相反的意思,即倾向于读容易的书。A项“You might prefer reading something comfortable at first.”(起初你可能更喜欢读些轻松的书)与下文形成逻辑转折关系。
