A. excited B. worried C. confident D. calm 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我非常崇拜消防员，因为他们在危险时能保持冷静。 excited兴奋的；worried担心的；confident自信的；calm冷静的。根据“when they are in danger”可知，面对危险情况，消防员需要保持镇定才能有效工作，stay calm意为“保持冷静”，符合语境，应填calm。 5. —How beautiful Wuhu is becoming! —Yeah, there’s no ________ that Wuhu will develop into a modern city soon.

It can help to develop our independence. A. That depends B. Take it easy C. It’s not a big deal D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文回忆作者最喜爱的班主任陈老师，她耐心友善、慷慨体贴，处处关心学生，作者即将毕业离校，十分不舍这位好老师。 【11题详解】 句意：我们即将离开这所学校，我会非常想念她。 后文提到会想念老师，说明即将毕业离校，leave意为“离开”。know“了解”、meet“遇见”、choose“选择”均不符合毕业语境。 【12题详解】 句意：无论我们什么时候在课堂上提问，她都会非常仔细地为我们讲解。 whenever意为“无论何时”，引导时间状语从句，契合老师随时解答疑问的场景。however“然而”、whatever“无论什么”、whoever“无论谁”均无法引导此处时间逻辑。 【13题详解】 句意：她也十分善良，因为她十分关心我们。 后文“cares much about us”体现老师心地善良，kind意为“友善的、善良的”。surprised“惊讶的”、humorous“幽默的”、strange“奇怪的”均和关爱学生的描述不匹配。 【14题详解】 句意：有不开心的事立刻告诉我，和我分享你的烦恼，不要独自硬扛。 前文feel unhappy对应遇到的难题、烦心事，problem意为“难题、烦恼”。chance“机会”、advantage“优势”、skill“技能”均不符合情绪低落的语境。 【15题详解】 句意：有一天，她给我们每人送了一本书《假如给我三天光明》，还告诉我们要多阅读。 give sb. sth. 固定搭配，意为“送给某人某物”，该句描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，用gave。hand“传递”、put“放置”、remain“保持”均无赠送物品的含义。 【16题详解】 句意：她曾经评选班长为最乐于助人的学生，并送了一套文具作为礼物。 送给优秀学生文具当作奖励礼物，gift意为“礼物”。mark“分数”、smile“微笑”、joke“玩笑”语义不通。 【17题详解】 句意：有空的时候，她经常辅导我们学习，我们也取得了很大进步。 学生进步说明老师时常帮忙补习，often意为“经常”。seldom“很少”、never“从不”、hardly“几乎不”均语义相反。 【18题详解】 句意：不只是我们全班同学都喜欢陈老师，陈老师也很喜欢我们班，因为她觉得我们所有人都很优秀。 老师喜爱班级，对应夸赞学生excellent“优秀的”。difficult“难相处的”、careless“粗心的”、unable“无能的”均为负面词汇，不符合文意。 【19题详解】 句意：她总说能成为我们班的老师，她觉得自己十分幸运。 think oneself lucky 表示“自己觉得幸运”，主语she对应反身代词herself。her“她/她的”、us“我们”、ourselves“我们自己”均不匹配主语。 【20题详解】 句意：我希望上高中也能遇到和陈老师一样好的老师。 固定结构as good as 意为“和……一样好”，修饰名词teachers。as far as“就……而言”、as long as“只要”、as soon as“一……就”均无同级比较含义。 B 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 It was Thanksgiving.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述鲍勃被善良人收养，为感恩在感恩节去公园与流浪者分享晚餐，并描述了一次分享经历。 【21题详解】 句意：当鲍勃开车去城市公园时正下着雪。 根据第二段“Bob stopped his car in a parking place and got out”可知，Bob是开车前往公园的。drove，是drive的过去式，表示“开车”，符合语境。walked“走路”，ran“跑步”和rode“骑”，均不符合后文开车的语境。 【22题详解】 句意：鲍勃被父母遗弃，由一个善良的人抚养长大。 上文提到鲍勃被父母遗弃，此处交代鲍勃的去向，逻辑上是被好心人收留抚养。raised，是raise的过去分词，表示“抚养、养育”，符合语境。risen是rise的过去分词，意为“上升、升起”，词义不符；sold“卖”和given“给”，不符合故事背景。 【23题详解】 句意：所有人都在家享用晚餐。 根据上文“the park was empty”，可知公园没有其他人，对应所有人都在家的逻辑。应选Everyone，表示“所有人”。Nobody“没有人”填入后逻辑矛盾，会变成“没人在家”，和公园空的描述相悖；Someone“某人”和Anyone“任何人”不符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：到达公园后，鲍勃看见一位老妇人躺在长凳上。 根据下文“woken up from sleeping”，可知老妇人原本在长椅上睡觉。应选lying，是lie的现在分词，表示“躺”，符合睡觉的场景。standing“站着”，crying“哭”和reading“阅读”都无法体现睡觉状态。 【25题详解】 句意：他从前排座位上拿了食物，开始朝她走去。 上文第一段提到鲍勃的传统是“take his Thanksgiving dinner to the park to share with a homeless person”，后文也提到“I’ve brought you some Thanksgiving dinner”，明确鲍勃带的是晚餐。应选food，表示“食物”。flowers“花”，books“书”和juice“果汁”都和“感恩节晚餐”语境不符。 【26题详解】 句意：他从前排座位上拿了食物，开始朝她走去。 鲍勃要给老妇人送食物，从停车处到老妇人所在的长椅，需要表示方向的介词。应选towards，表示“朝向”，符合“朝老妇人走去”的动作逻辑。past“经过”，around“围绕”和with“和……一起”都不符合动作方向。 【27题详解】 句意：当他站在她身旁时，她猛地一跳，好像突然从睡梦中被惊醒一样。 根据前文she jumped的动作反应，可知老妇人是毫无准备被突然惊动。应选suddenly，表示“突然”。peacefully“平静地”，quietly“安静地”和carefully“小心地”都无法体现突然被吵醒的状态，不符合语境。 【28题详解】 句意：“晚上好，女士”，鲍勃微笑着说。 鲍勃是带着善意来分享晚餐，打招呼时需要符合人物态度的伴随状语。应选smiling，现在分词作伴随状语，表示“微笑着”，符合鲍勃友好的态度。laughing“大笑”侧重出声的开心笑，不符合礼貌打招呼的场景；crying“哭”和breathing“呼吸”和语境无关。 【29题详解】 句意：他把钱轻轻放到她的手里。 上文提到“he took twenty dollars out of his wallet”，提示鲍勃放到老妇人手里的是钱。应选money，表示“钱”，符合上下文线索。dishes“盘子”，keys“钥匙”和wallet“钱包”都和上文提到的“20美元”不符。 【30题详解】 句意：然后他轻轻吻了吻她的额头，说道：“谢谢你分享我的感恩节晚餐。” 根据前文“Would you like to share it with me?”，可知是感谢对方分享。应选sharing，表示“分享”，符合上下文语境。bringing“带来”，cooking“烹饪”和making“制作”与前文邀请分享不符。 第三部分 阅读理解(共两大题，满分45分) Ⅶ.补全对话(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从方框内的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余。 Frank: Hello, Jack!

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是Frank和Jack的对话，Jack讲述自己睡过头错过校车、步行上学迟到，老师没有批评只提醒他早起，可他又忘带英语书的倒霉经历。 【31题详解】 前文Jack说自己睡过头，后文Frank询问他怎么到校，B选项“By the time I got to the stop, the school bus had left.”表示到车站时校车已经开走，解释迟到的起因，符合语境。 【32题详解】 前文Frank询问到校的方式，校车已经开走，C选项“I had to walk to school.”说明只能步行上学，符合语境。 【33题详解】 前文Jack回答没能准时到校，F选项“When I came into the classroom, my English teacher had started teaching.”表示进教室时老师已经开课，对应迟到的结果，符合语境。 【34题详解】 前文Frank猜测老师很生气，Jack用No否定，A选项“She only asked me to get up earlier the next time.”说明老师只是提醒他下次早起，没有生气批评，符合语境。 【35题详解】 前文Frank问为什么不能坐下上课，后文Frank吐槽Jack粗心，D选项“When I sat down, I realized I had left my English book at home.”表示坐下才发现忘带英语书，解释无法上课的原因，符合语境。 Ⅷ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Indooroopilly Library Indooroopilly Shopping Center, Level 4,322 Moggill Road, Indooroopilly, QLD, 40680734070009 English Conversation Group Our friendly group meets at the library every Thursday afternoon.

Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). It stands for (代表) the start of spring and farming. This year the day falls on February 24. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons. On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰烬) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收获) in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on the day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”. Today many customs have faded away (逐渐消失). But one that has remained (保留) is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mothers, brothers. So many people have their hair cut on Dragon Head Raising Day. 43. Dragon Head Raising Day is one of the ________ festivals. A. English B. French C. Chinese D. Japanese 44. On the day in ancient times, why did people put ashes in the kitchen? A. Because the dragon liked the ashes. B. Because the ashes stood for the harvest. C. Because the ashes led the dragon into the house. D. Because the ashes stood for the happiness. 45. One custom that has remained in the passage is ________. A. the cutting of hair B. dragon boat racing C. eating zongzi D. eating dumplings 46. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Dragon Head Raising Day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. B. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. C. Dragon Head Raising Day stands for the start of spring and harvest. D. So many people have their hair cut on Dragon Head Raising Day. 【答案】43. C 44. C 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国传统节日龙抬头，讲解它的农历日期、文化寓意、古时习俗、特色吃食以及如今保留下来的理发习俗。 【43题详解】 第一段指出：“China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them”，可知龙抬头是中国众多节日中的一个。 【44题详解】 第三段说明原因：“On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to ‘lead the dragon into the house’”，可知古代人们把灰烬放在厨房是为了把龙引到家里。 【45题详解】 最后一段指出：“Today many customs have faded away. But one that has remained is the cutting of hair”，可知许多习俗消失了，但保留下来的一个是理发。 【46题详解】 第二段指出：“It stands for the start of spring and farming”可知，龙抬头代表春天和耕种的开始。选项C中说是“spring and harvest”，与原文“farming”不符，因此该项表述错误。 D Every time I came home from work at midnight, I often saw a shadow (影子) walking in our neighborhood. Was it “a night walker”? Someone walked alone in the dark and this always made me afraid a lot. I thought it was “a sleeping walker”. So I never bothered about it. But one night, when I walked past it quietly and quickly as usual, I heard a low voice. “Do you often have to work at night?” I was a little afraid. I looked around, but no one was nearby. I ran home as quickly as possible. Later on, I heard it was a neighbor, an old man who has been living alone at home. He’s not “a sleeping walker”. He enjoys having a walk at night. So I seldom see him in the neighborhood in the day. It’s said that he was a soldier many years ago. He has two children: a son and a daughter. His son has a family in Shanghai. His daughter went abroad to Sydney. He has been living alone since his wife died several years ago. Without any children living with him, he feels lonely and helpless. I feel sorry for the old man. We might care little about our parents living alone. When we grow up, our parents get old. We should often go back home even though we’re busy with work. 47. When did the writer come home from work? A. In the morning. B. At midnight. C. In the afternoon. D. At noon. 48. What did the old neighbor do when he was young? A. A soldier. B. An artist. C. An engineer. D. A biologist. 49. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. We shouldn’t work at night for money. B. Life is full of the unexpected. C. It’s best to live with our parents. D. We should often go back home to see our parents. 【答案】47. B 48. A 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者深夜下班总看见小区深夜独行的人影，后来得知是独居老人。老人子女远在外地、妻子离世，常年孤独，文章借此呼吁大家常回家看望独居父母。 【47题详解】 根据文章第一段“Every time I came home from work at midnight”可知，作者下班回家的时间是午夜。 【48题详解】 根据文章第五段“It’s said that he was a soldier many years ago”可知，这位老邻居年轻时是一名士兵。 【49题详解】 根据文章最后一段最后一句“We should often go back home even though we’re busy with work”以及全文主旨可知，作者通过这个故事告诉我们要常回家看望父母。 E DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of the DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1865, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes (基因)” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do. Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way. 50. Who discovered why we look like other people in our family in 1865? A. Crick. B. Watson. C. Mr. Harris. D. Mr. Mendel. 51. According to the passage, all of the following are true except that ________. A. we look like our parents because of “genes” in our body B. we have understood what all the words in the DNA map do C. DNA is the whole “map” of the human body D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts 52. What do people think of this research about DNA? A. It can be bad. B. It can be good. C. It can be good but won’t work. D. It can be good and bad. 【答案】50. D 51. B 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了DNA的发现历史，并介绍了这一发现对人类生活的影响以及人们对此的不同意见。 【50题详解】 第二段介绍：“In 1865, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.”，可知孟德尔先生在1865年发现了我们为什么长得像家族中的其他人。 【51题详解】 第二段指出：“So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do.”，可知虽然科学家找到了DNA图谱中的所有“单词”，但尚未理解它们所有的作用，因此选项B“我们已经理解了DNA图谱中所有单词的作用”与原文不符。 【52题详解】 最后一段提到：大多数人希望这有助于制造更好的药物以帮助生病的人（好的一面），而其他人担心当人们了解更多“单词”，发现更多信息后，信息会被误用（坏的一面）。因此，人们对这项研究的看法是有好有坏的。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 Zhang Guimei, principal of Huaping High School for Girls, has been awarded the title of “Role Model of the Times” because she has helped many girls from poor families. The school was the first high school in the country to provide free education for girls who would otherwise have been unable to continue their studies after completing their nine years of education. Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County. Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment (治疗). With the help of the people there, she was able to get the necessary treatment. “From then on, I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me,” Zhang said. Slowly, a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang’s heart. From the year of 2002, she began a six-year journey to look for funds (资金). In 2008, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping. Thanks to her efforts, more than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities through her education until now. Zhang has been helping to improve the area as a whole. Influenced by her, many of her students have chosen to teach in poor areas. Now, with Zhang having got the honorary title, education for girls from poor areas will receive more attention. What she has done will be long remembered and encourage more to follow her example. 53. Why was Zhang Guimei named “Role Model of the Times”?

B Mike is graduating (毕业) from Concord Academy High School and Rowan Kabbalah Community College at the same time. And he’s only 12.

Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). It stands for (代表) the start of spring and farming. This year the day falls on February 24. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons. On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰烬) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收获) in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on the day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”. Today many customs have faded away (逐渐消失). But one that has remained (保留) is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mothers, brothers. So many people have their hair cut on Dragon Head Raising Day. 43. Dragon Head Raising Day is one of the ________ festivals. A. English B. French C. Chinese D. Japanese 44. On the day in ancient times, why did people put ashes in the kitchen? A. Because the dragon liked the ashes. B. Because the ashes stood for the harvest. C. Because the ashes led the dragon into the house. D. Because the ashes stood for the happiness. 45.

Dragon Head Raising Day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. B. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. C. Dragon Head Raising Day stands for the start of spring and harvest. D. So many people have their hair cut on Dragon Head Raising Day. D Every time I came home from work at midnight, I often saw a shadow (影子) walking in our neighborhood. Was it “a night walker”? Someone walked alone in the dark and this always made me afraid a lot. I thought it was “a sleeping walker”. So I never bothered about it. But one night, when I walked past it quietly and quickly as usual, I heard a low voice. “Do you often have to work at night?” I was a little afraid. I looked around, but no one was nearby. I ran home as quickly as possible. Later on, I heard it was a neighbor, an old man who has been living alone at home. He’s not “a sleeping walker”. He enjoys having a walk at night. So I seldom see him in the neighborhood in the day. It’s said that he was a soldier many years ago. He has two children: a son and a daughter. His son has a family in Shanghai. His daughter went abroad to Sydney. He has been living alone since his wife died several years ago. Without any children living with him, he feels lonely and helpless. I feel sorry for the old man. We might care little about our parents living alone. When we grow up, our parents get old. We should often go back home even though we’re busy with work. 47. When did the writer come home from work? A. In the morning. B. At midnight. C. In the afternoon. D. At noon. 48. What did the old neighbor do when he was young? A. A soldier. B. An artist. C. An engineer. D. A biologist. 49. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. We shouldn’t work at night for money. B. Life is full of the unexpected. C. It’s best to live with our parents. D. We should often go back home to see our parents. E DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of the DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.

F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 Zhang Guimei, principal of Huaping High School for Girls, has been awarded the title of “Role Model of the Times” because she has helped many girls from poor families. The school was the first high school in the country to provide free education for girls who would otherwise have been unable to continue their studies after completing their nine years of education. Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County. Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment (治疗). With the help of the people there, she was able to get the necessary treatment. “From then on, I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me,” Zhang said. Slowly, a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang’s heart. From the year of 2002, she began a six-year journey to look for funds (资金). In 2008, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping. Thanks to her efforts, more than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities through her education until now. Zhang has been helping to improve the area as a whole. Influenced by her, many of her students have chosen to teach in poor areas. Now, with Zhang having got the honorary title, education for girls from poor areas will receive more attention. What she has done will be long remembered and encourage more to follow her example. 53. Why was Zhang Guimei named “Role Model of the Times”?
