You can improve your reading ________ reading word groups. A. on B. at C. in D. by 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：你可以通过意群阅读来提升你的阅读能力。 on在……上面；at在（某处/时刻）；in在……里面；by通过（某种方式）。根据“improve your reading...reading word groups”可知，此处表示通过某种方式提高阅读能力，by doing sth. 意为“通过做某事”，符合语境。 2. —Could you please help me carry the heavy bag? —________ A. Yes, I could. B. With pleasure. C. You’re welcome. D. It doesn’t matter. 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——请你帮我提这个重包好吗？——很乐意。 问句是Could you please引导的请求帮助句式，答语应表示愿意帮忙。With pleasure常用于礼貌回答请求；You’re welcome用于回答感谢；It doesn’t matter用于回答道歉；Yes, I could侧重能力，语气不够委婉。根据语境可知应礼貌接受请求。 3.

A. basket B. bookstore C. garden D. lake 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我奶奶喜欢在外面花园里干活。她身边有花，从不觉得累。 考查名词辨析。basket篮子；bookstore书店；garden花园；lake湖泊。根据“She never gets tired with flowers around her.”可知，奶奶喜欢在外面工作，并且喜欢花，因此最合适的地方是花园。故选C。 4. Mother told me the earth ________ the sun. A. goes around B. went around C. is going around D. will go around 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天妈妈告诉我地球绕着太阳转。 考查宾语从句的时态。结合语境可知，地球绕太阳转是事实，客观真理用一般现在时。故选A。 5. —I don’t know how to ________ the old clothes. —Why not give them away to poor children? A. stick to B. give up C. take up D. deal with 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不知道如何处理这些旧衣服。——为什么不把它们送给贫穷的孩子呢？ 考查动词短语辨析。stick to坚持；give up放弃；take up开始从事；deal with处理。根据“Why not give them away to poor children?”可知，这是处理旧衣服的方式。故选D。 6. Chinese ________ by more and more people in the world these days. A. speak B. spoke C. is spoken D. was spoken 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在世界上讲汉语的人越来越多了。 考查一般现在时被动语态。句中的主语Chinese和speak是动宾关系，故用被动。根据“these days”可知，时态是一般现在时，一般现在时被动语态结构为am/is/are done，主语为Chinese，be动词用is。故选C。 7. —I guess you want to play tennis in the park this afternoon. —You read my mind. That’s ________ what I was thinking about just now.

A. used to going; gets used to go B. used to go; gets used to going C. used to go; gets used to go D. used to going; gets used to going 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：詹姆斯过去常骑自行车上学，但现在他习惯了步行上学。 考查use的用法。used to do sth过去常常做某事，get used to doing sth习惯做某事。连词but前后表示转折关系，but后接的是now，与now相对应的是过去，所以第一空用used to；第二空表示现在习惯了，所以用get used to going。故选B。 三、完形填空。（26分） A）（每小题1分） Li Ming used to be a kid who is not brave enough to express his true thoughts.

From a young age, he was interested in animals and plants and in 1906, Birdseye went to college. However, two years later, he left college for family reasons. Then he took a job and worked for the US government. In 1912, Birdseye moved to Labrador (now in Canada). He stayed there until 1915. When he was in Labrador, Birdseye watched local people fishing through holes in an icy lake. As they pulled out fish, the fish at once froze in the very cold air. He noticed that they could be kept for long periods and, when people wanted some to eat, they could defrost (解冻) them without losing any of the freshness. Birdseye realized that cooling food very quickly was the key to keeping its freshness. This was easy in very cold environments. In warmer environments, people had to freeze food slowly. When food is frozen in this way, ice crystals (冰晶) start to grow inside it. These change the food’s taste. In order to stop them from growing, Birdseye spent years working out how to cool food quickly. Then he began to wonder how this freezing method might work with fresh vegetables and other food like fish and meat. After a lot of efforts, in the late 1920s, Birdseye developed a machine to freeze food fast in the US. Later, he introduced the first line of frozen food for public sale. Frozen food began to be widely accepted. Birdseye died in 1956. Today people consider him as the father of the modern frozen food industry. 38. When Birdseye was young, he ________. A. loved animals and plants B. decided to visit Canada one day C. was interested in inventing things D. dreamed of working for the US government 39. From the local people in Labrador, Birdseye learned a new way to ________. A. fish B. freeze food to keep it fresh C. cook fish D. look for food in cold environments 40. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Knives B. Vegetables C. Ice crystals D. High temperatures 41. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that Birdseye ________. A. died at the age of 79 B. began to sell frozen food in 1915 C. invented a freezing machine in Canada D. was a pioneer of the modern frozen food industry 42. This passage is developed ________. A. by giving examples B. by making comparisons C. by following the order of time D. by describing the work process 【答案】38. A 39. B 40. C 41. D 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是人物记叙文，按时间顺序讲述冷冻食品之父Clarence Birdseye的生平：年少爱好动植物、求学工作、在加拿大观察当地人冻鱼获得灵感，研发快速冷冻机器，最终开创现代冷冻食品行业。 【38题详解】 根据第一段第二句“From a young age, he was interested in animals and plants...”可知，Birdseye从小就对动植物感兴趣。 【39题详解】 根据第二段内容，Birdseye观察到当地人快速冷冻鱼并能保持新鲜，从而意识到“cooling food very quickly was the key to keeping its freshness”（快速冷却食物是保持新鲜的关键）。 【40题详解】 根据划线词上文“When food is frozen in this way, ice crystals start to grow inside it. These change the food’s taste.”可知，缓慢冷冻会产生冰晶（ice crystals），冰晶会改变食物味道。为了阻止“它们”生长，这里的“them”指代前文提到的复数名词“ice crystals”。 【41题详解】 根据最后一段“Today people consider him as the father of the modern frozen food industry.”可知，他被认为是现代冷冻食品工业之父，即先驱（pioneer）。A项年龄计算错误（1956-1886=70岁）；B项时间错误（20世纪20年代末才开始销售）；C项地点错误（是在美国开发的机器）。 【42题详解】 通读全文可知，文章出现了大量时间标志词，如1886年、1906年、1912年、1915年、20世纪 20年代末、1956年等，文章是按照时间顺序展开叙述的。 C While we usually consider New Year’s Day as the beginning of a new year, the Chinese think differently. According to the Chinese calendar, what marks the start of a new year is Chinese New Year. ①________ Chinese New Year is a traditional and very important Chinese holiday. It was originally a festival to honor ancestors as well as sacred beings (神灵). It is also known as the Spring Festival. ②________ Chinese New Year is celebrated through a number of traditions. Red envelopes: Red is an important color in Chinese culture as it symbolizes good luck, wealth and joy. Money is given in red envelopes. The amount (金额) people receive is usually a lucky number. The amount cannot have four, as in Chinese tradition, it means death. Firecrackers: Firecrackers are popular during Chinese New Year. They are thought to scare off evil spirits. Some countries have stopped the use of firecrackers as they can be dangerous. Lion and dragon dances: These dances are performed by highly skilled acrobats (杂技演员), under huge dragon and lion costumes. The drums are played along with the dance, to frighten away bad spirits. The dragon dance is a highlight (亮点) of the festival around the world, and large crowds get together to watch it. Food and families: It’s common for Chinese families to have a reunion dinner the night before Chinese New Year. Chicken and prawns represent happiness, while noodles represent long life. ③________ Each year is named after a different animal. The story goes that the Jade Emperor requested the animals to have a race so that he could decide the order of the Chinese years. He would name each year depending on the order the animals finished the race. The rat won the race, with the pig coming in last. 43. What’s the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Travel. B. Animals. C. Family. D. Festivals. 44. Match the title to each paragraph. a. A folk story. b. How is it celebrated? c. Different animals. d. Why is it important? e. What is Chinese New Year? A. ①-e, ②-d, ③-c B. ①-e, ②-b, ③-a C. ①-d, ②-b, ③-a D. ①-d, ②-e, ③-c 45. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The amount. B. The tradition. C. The number four. D. A lucky number. 46. What can we infer from Paragraph 6? A. Lion and dragon dances are easy to perform. B. The dragon dance is quite popular across the world. C. Bad spirits are scared away by the dance and the crowds. D. The acrobats perform the dance and play the drums at the same time. 47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The passage is written by a Chinese writer. B. Red envelopes are given to scare off evil spirits. C. Chicken and prawns represent happiness and long life. D. People are not allowed to use firecrackers in some countries. 【答案】43. D 44. B 45. C 46. B 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国新年的相关信息。 【43题详解】 文章开篇引出中国新年，随后详细介绍了其定义、庆祝传统（红包、鞭炮、舞龙等）以及生肖故事，通篇围绕“中国新年”这一节日展开，因此主题是节日。 【44题详解】 ①处后的段落介绍了中国新年是传统假日，是纪念祖先和神灵的节日，以及又称春节，属于定义介绍，对应e“中国新年是什么”；②处后首句提到“celebrated through a number of traditions”，随后列举了红包、鞭炮等习俗，属于庆祝方式，对应b“如何庆祝中国新年”；③处后的段落讲述了玉皇大帝举办动物赛跑决定生肖顺序的故事，属于民间故事，对应a“一个民间故事”。 【45题详解】 根据“The amount cannot have four, as in Chinese tradition, it means death.”可知，红包金额数字不能有4，因为这个数字在中国传统意义上代表着死亡，所以“it”指代的是前文提到的数字4。 【46题详解】 根据第六段“The dragon dance is a highlight (亮点) of the festival around the world, and large crowds get together to watch it.”可知，舞龙是世界各地节日的亮点，且吸引大量人群观看，由此可推断舞龙在世界各地非常受欢迎。 【47题详解】 根据第五段“Some countries have stopped the use of firecrackers as they can be dangerous.”可知，一些国家已经禁止使用鞭炮，因为它们很危险。 D My friend could be anyone from a 3-year-old to an old person. I know if a friend is worth trusting when I see one and you may wonder what qualities (品质) I look for in a friend. The first thing I would search for in a friend is optimism. They always think there is a hope even in a hard time. I would want my friend to be a good listener and an interesting talker. Then my friend should also be an honest person, and tell me the truth whether it’s about me or someone else. A real friend will always tell the truth no matter what! It’s not important that my friend should be the most popular in school or the most fashionable or the smart one. Friends should be honest with each other. If you find someone who is perfectly honest with you, then hold on to this person! ________ I want my friend to be a good helper. Neighbors could be the best choice when we need such friends. If you’re on a vacation, and you suddenly realize that you forgot to lock the front door, you can call up your neighbors and ask them to lock it for you. You can do the same for your neighbors. Friends should take care of and support each other. Everyone may have different ideas of what are the best friends but the most important thing in making friends is respect. Only in this way can we keep a friendship for a long time. 48. What is optimism according to the passage? A. It is the feeling of being a perfect person. B.

B Inventor Clarence Birdseye was born in New York in 1886. From a young age, he was interested in animals and plants and in 1906, Birdseye went to college. However, two years later, he left college for family reasons. Then he took a job and worked for the US government. In 1912, Birdseye moved to Labrador (now in Canada). He stayed there until 1915. When he was in Labrador, Birdseye watched local people fishing through holes in an icy lake. As they pulled out fish, the fish at once froze in the very cold air. He noticed that they could be kept for long periods and, when people wanted some to eat, they could defrost (解冻) them without losing any of the freshness. Birdseye realized that cooling food very quickly was the key to keeping its freshness. This was easy in very cold environments. In warmer environments, people had to freeze food slowly. When food is frozen in this way, ice crystals (冰晶) start to grow inside it. These change the food’s taste. In order to stop them from growing, Birdseye spent years working out how to cool food quickly. Then he began to wonder how this freezing method might work with fresh vegetables and other food like fish and meat. After a lot of efforts, in the late 1920s, Birdseye developed a machine to freeze food fast in the US. Later, he introduced the first line of frozen food for public sale. Frozen food began to be widely accepted. Birdseye died in 1956. Today people consider him as the father of the modern frozen food industry. 38. When Birdseye was young, he ________. A. loved animals and plants B. decided to visit Canada one day C. was interested in inventing things D. dreamed of working for the US government 39. From the local people in Labrador, Birdseye learned a new way to ________. A. fish B. freeze food to keep it fresh C. cook fish D. look for food in cold environments 40. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Knives B. Vegetables C. Ice crystals D. High temperatures 41. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that Birdseye ________. A. died at the age of 79 B. began to sell frozen food in 1915 C. invented a freezing machine in Canada D. was a pioneer of the modern frozen food industry 42. This passage is developed ________. A. by giving examples B. by making comparisons C. by following the order of time D. by describing the work process C While we usually consider New Year’s Day as the beginning of a new year, the Chinese think differently. According to the Chinese calendar, what marks the start of a new year is Chinese New Year. ①________ Chinese New Year is a traditional and very important Chinese holiday. It was originally a festival to honor ancestors as well as sacred beings (神灵). It is also known as the Spring Festival. ②________ Chinese New Year is celebrated through a number of traditions. Red envelopes: Red is an important color in Chinese culture as it symbolizes good luck, wealth and joy. Money is given in red envelopes. The amount (金额) people receive is usually a lucky number. The amount cannot have four, as in Chinese tradition, it means death. Firecrackers: Firecrackers are popular during Chinese New Year. They are thought to scare off evil spirits. Some countries have stopped the use of firecrackers as they can be dangerous. Lion and dragon dances: These dances are performed by highly skilled acrobats (杂技演员), under huge dragon and lion costumes. The drums are played along with the dance, to frighten away bad spirits. The dragon dance is a highlight (亮点) of the festival around the world, and large crowds get together to watch it. Food and families: It’s common for Chinese families to have a reunion dinner the night before Chinese New Year. Chicken and prawns represent happiness, while noodles represent long life. ③________ Each year is named after a different animal. The story goes that the Jade Emperor requested the animals to have a race so that he could decide the order of the Chinese years. He would name each year depending on the order the animals finished the race. The rat won the race, with the pig coming in last. 43. What’s the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Travel. B. Animals. C.

The passage is written by a Chinese writer. B. Red envelopes are given to scare off evil spirits. C. Chicken and prawns represent happiness and long life. D. People are not allowed to use firecrackers in some countries. D My friend could be anyone from a 3-year-old to an old person. I know if a friend is worth trusting when I see one and you may wonder what qualities (品质) I look for in a friend. The first thing I would search for in a friend is optimism. They always think there is a hope even in a hard time. I would want my friend to be a good listener and an interesting talker. Then my friend should also be an honest person, and tell me the truth whether it’s about me or someone else. A real friend will always tell the truth no matter what! It’s not important that my friend should be the most popular in school or the most fashionable or the smart one. Friends should be honest with each other. If you find someone who is perfectly honest with you, then hold on to this person! ________ I want my friend to be a good helper. Neighbors could be the best choice when we need such friends. If you’re on a vacation, and you suddenly realize that you forgot to lock the front door, you can call up your neighbors and ask them to lock it for you. You can do the same for your neighbors. Friends should take care of and support each other. Everyone may have different ideas of what are the best friends but the most important thing in making friends is respect. Only in this way can we keep a friendship for a long time. 48. What is optimism according to the passage? A. It is the feeling of being a perfect person. B.
