They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage (损坏). As they move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks, and even houses and then throw them very far. ____21____ A safe place could be a basement (地下室) or the lowest floor.

And they can give people some advice to keep away from a dangerous tornado. A. It is important to find a safe place if a tornado comes. B.

A 22. D 23. C 24. E 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了龙卷风的特性与危害、安全避险方法，以及科学家借助探测仪研究龙卷风、预测其路径以指导民众避险的相关科普知识。 【21题详解】 第一段“...cause a lot of damage”主要介绍了龙卷风的危害，第二段开头提到了“A safe place...”安全的地方。A选项“如果龙卷风来了，找一个安全的地方很重要”起到了承上启下的作用，既总结了上文的危险，又引出了下文关于避险地点的建议。 【22题详解】 第二段主要讲述龙卷风来临时如何避险，前文提到了“A safe place could be a basement or the lowest floor.”具体的避险地点，如地下室、浴室等。D选项“你应该蜷缩成一团，用手护住头和脖子”是在找到安全地点后应采取的具体自我保护动作，符合语境逻辑。 【23题详解】 第三段开头“But there are some people who really want to get close to tornadoes. They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes.”提到科学家想要了解更多关于龙卷风的知识。C选项“做到这一点的最好方法之一就是尽可能靠近龙卷风”中的“do this”指代前文的“learn more about tornadoes”，说明了科学家研究龙卷风的方法，与后文使用工具测量相呼应。 【24题详解】 第三段后半部分详细介绍了龙卷风探测仪“tornado probe”及其内部的传感器。E选项“有些探测仪甚至有摄像头……”是对探测仪功能的进一步补充说明，与前文介绍传感器的内容并列，符合段落主题。 【25题详解】 第四段描述了科学家放置探测仪的过程。前一句提到“If they do not guess correctly...”，B选项“If they are right...”与之形成鲜明的对比逻辑，说明了猜测正确后的情况，引出下文收集数据的内容。 第二节：阅读下面A、B、C三篇材料，从所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。（共10小题，计15分） A Helen’s Note The Name of the Book: The Little Prince Writer: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Type of the book: Warm story The Main Character: the little prince The Main Subject: The book is all about the little prince’s journey. He leaves his own small planet and visits many different planets. He meets lots of strange people and finally gets to the Earth. From his story, we can learn that we should value true friendship and look at things with our heart. What I Like Best: What I enjoy most is when the little prince makes good friends with a pilot in the desert. It’s so warm! Another moment I love is when he talks with his rose. I’m moved by their deep love. My Feelings: This book makes me learn to keep a kind heart! It tells me “What is important can’t be seen by eyes” — that’s a great lesson. You should read it if you like meaningful stories! 26. How many places does the little prince visit in his trip? A. Only one planet. B. Many different planets. C. No places at all. D. Three big cities. 27. What is Helen’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To ask readers to travel to space. B. To teach readers how to plant roses. C. To introduce a book and advise readers to read it. D. To share her life in the desert. 28. What is the passage? A. A story. B. A poem. C. An email. D. A book report. 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是Helen整理的对书籍《小王子》的阅读感想笔记，整理记录了书籍的基础信息、内容主旨和个人阅读感受。 【26题详解】 根据文中“The Main Subject”部分提到“The book is all about the little prince's journey. He leaves his own small planet and visits many different planets.”可知，小王子访问了许多不同的星球，所以答案是B选项“Many different planets.”。 【27题详解】 从文章最后一句“You should read it if you like meaningful stories!”以及前文对书的介绍可知，Helen是在介绍这本书并建议读者去读，C选项“To introduce a book and advise readers to read it.”符合。 【28题详解】 文章对《小王子》这本书的作者、类型、主要人物、主题、作者喜欢的部分以及感受进行了阐述，这符合读书报告的特点，所以是D选项“A book report.”。 B Teenagers often think they are old enough to make their own decisions, but their parents may worry about their growth and development. Young people always complain (抱怨) that their parents don’t understand them. When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their children to make a decision for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents always treat you as a little child. You aren’t allowed to do what you like in your daily lives. However, it should be remembered that not long ago, they were children too. And parents still recall their own childhood mistakes in the past. They want to protect you, but you don’t want them to do so. So, if you want to get more freedom (自由), you should first try to understand your parents. Don’t lie to them. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids in my class can stay out late.” Tell them what you want to do, where you will be, and why it is important for you to stay out late. Then they will say, “Yes, but be more careful and give us a call if possible.” In this way, through understanding and communication, teenagers can not only get much freedom but also build a good relationship with their parents. 29. Which of the following shows that parents don’t understand children? A. It’s OK for you to join the robot club. B. We understand you want to hang out with friends. C. We believe you can get an A in the English exam. D. It must be your mistake to fight with others at school. 30. What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept. B. Remember. C. Manage. D. Forgive. 31. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A. Different ideas about freedom. B. Teenagers’ fights to get more freedom. C. The ways to improve the parent-teenager relationship. D. The reasons why teenagers often lie to their parents. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了青少年与父母之间的矛盾与沟通问题。文章指出父母常因担心而过于保护孩子，青少年则渴望更多自由。作者建议青少年通过理解和沟通来赢得父母的信任，从而改善亲子关系。 【29题详解】 第二段提到“When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong.”，说明当事情出问题时，父母不先问原因就直接认为孩子错了。选项D“和同学打架一定是你的错”正体现了这种“不询问就直接认定孩子有错”的态度。 【30题详解】 第三段写道“And parents still recall their own childhood mistakes in the past.”，结合上下文，父母记得自己童年时犯过的错误，因此他们想保护孩子。recall与remember同义，意为“记得、回想起”。 【31题详解】 第四段作者给出具体建议：“首先理解父母、不要撒谎、告诉他们你想做什么、在哪里、为什么重要。”这些都是改善亲子关系的具体方法。 C At the age of 50, Phoebe was told that she had cancer, with less than a year to live. Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most — watching birds. She went off to some of the world’s most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. Years came and went, but she was still alive, which surprised her doctors and her family. Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.” Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000 kinds of birds! Phoebe’s interest in bird-watching started when she moved to Missouri (密苏里州). There, she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. “We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds,” she said. Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years later, the American Birding Association came out with her memoirs (回忆录). Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn’t just a story about a bird watcher’s travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected. 32. What were Phoebe’s doctors surprised by? A. Her long travels. B. The difficulties she met. C. Her strong spirit and life force. D. The discoveries she made. 33. What is the correct order of the following events? ①Phoebe was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.” ②Phoebe caught cancer. ③Phoebe found 8,000 kinds of birds. ④Phoebe stayed on an island for two weeks. A. ①③④② B. ②①③④ C. ②④③① D. ③②①④ 34. What can we know about Phoebe from Paragraph 5? A. She cared a lot about environmental protection. B. She began to watch birds after she got cancer. C. She only studied birds in her free time. D. She wrote books about different kinds of birds. 35. What may the best title for Phoebe’s memoirs be? A. Facing Up to Changes B. Fighting for the Environment C. Birding on Borrowed Time D. Enjoying the Beauty of Nature 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述身患癌症的Phoebe坚持观鸟旅行，乐观对抗病魔，一生记录数千种鸟类，同时关注自然环保的人生故事。 【32题详解】 根据原文第二段“Years came and went, but she was still alive, which surprised her doctors and her family.”，身患癌症本只剩不到一年寿命，她坚持旅行多年后仍存活，医生惊叹于她顽强的精神与生命力。 【33题详解】 根据文章段落梳理事件先后：文章第一段交代Phoebe确诊癌症；61岁时她观测7530种鸟类，被称作世界顶尖观鸟者；之后墨西哥之旅她观测到第8000种鸟类；68岁她在一座小岛停留两周时遭遇车祸离世，事件先后为患癌、获称号、观测到八千种鸟、小岛停留两周。 【34题详解】 根据原文第五段“She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. ‘We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds,’ she said.”，她担忧污染对环境的危害，呼吁保护大自然，能体现她十分关心环境保护。 【35题详解】 全文核心是Phoebe被告知生命仅剩不足一年，却用余下全部时光四处观鸟，在有限的生命里追逐热爱。A选项仅侧重应对变化，B只突出环保，D只侧重欣赏自然，都无法概括她身患绝症、借余生观鸟的核心主线，C标题贴合文章整体故事内核。 Ⅴ.完成句子：根据所给汉语意思，用单词或者短语完成下列英文句子。（共5小题，计10分） 36. 你听说过陈彦创作的小说《主角》吗? Have you _________________ the novel The Protagonist written by Chen Yan? 【答案】 heard of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“听说过”是关键词，表示“听说”的常用短语是hear of。句首有助动词Have，表明句子时态为现在完成时，现在完成时疑问句结构为“Have +主语 +过去分词”，动词hear的过去分词是heard，heard of符合。 37. 在故事开篇，忆秦娥学习秦腔时历经重重艰难。 _________________ the story, Yi Qin’e experiences lots of difficulties while learning Qinqiang Opera. 【答案】 At the beginning of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“在故事开篇”是关键词，对应的英文介词短语为“at the beginning of”，表示“在……的开头”，作时间状语。 38. 在丈夫离世后，她比以往变得更加坚强。 After her husband’s ________, she becomes stronger than before. 【答案】 death 【解析】 【详解】原句中“离世”是关键词，对应的英文名词为“death”，表示“去世、死亡”。空格处作介词“After”的宾语，构成“After her husband’s death”表示“在她丈夫去世之后”。 39. 这本书我最喜欢的部分就是忆秦娥经历变故后依然坚守戏曲事业。 My __________________ of the book is Yi Qin’e sticks to her opera career after all the changes in her life. 【答案】 favorite part 【解析】 【详解】原句中“最喜欢的部分”是关键词，中文“最喜欢的部分”，“最喜欢的”对应的英文是“favorite” ，是形容词作定语修饰名词；“部分”常见英文表达为“part” 。所以“最喜欢的部分”翻译为“favorite part”，填入句中符合语义和语法要求。 40. 当你读完这本书后，你就能清楚地理解其中的故事。 After reading this book, you can __________________ the stories in it. 【答案】 clearly understand 【解析】 【详解】文中“清楚地理解”是关键词，中文“理解”对应英文动词understand，位于情态动词can之后，使用动词原形；“清楚地”对应副词clearly，修饰动词understand，置于其前。 Ⅵ.短文填空：（共10小题，计10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确。（每个单词限用一次，每空限填一个单词。） help solve a easy wash habit children develop happy they Hand washing with soap can reduce illness.

But these ways are not always the same in every country. In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite (对方的) teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. They might only wave or maybe just nod their heads. In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet. Cheek kissing or handshaking is common for French people. If two friends meet, they kiss each other on the cheek and make a kissing sound in the air. If two people don’t know each other well, they will just shake hands. In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. A deeper, longer bow shows more respect. Besides, Japanese people use a bow to say “thanks”, “sorry”, or to ask for help. Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that both sides understand each other. 51. Why do teams shake hands before a game in America? They shake hands to______________________ to each other. 52. Which country’s greeting custom does the picture on the right show? The picture shows the greeting custom of______________________. 53. How will two French people greet each other if they just meet for the first time? They will ______________________. 54. How many meanings does bowing have in Japan? It has ______________________ meaning(s) in Japan. 55. What title can you make for this passage in no more than eight words using “customs, greeting, world, different”? The title can be “______________________”. 【答案】51. show respect 52. New Zealand 53. just shake hands 54. four 55. Different greeting customs in the world 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界上不同国家人们见面时不同的打招呼方式。 【51题详解】 根据文章第二段“It is a way to show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason.（这是一种向对方表示尊重的方式。对方球队的运动员在比赛前握手也是出于同样的原因。）”可知，在美国运动员握手是为了向对方表示尊重。 【52题详解】 根据文章第三段“In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called ‘Hongi’. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads together and close their eyes.（在新西兰，有一种特殊的问候方式叫做‘Hongi’。在问候时，两个人把鼻子和前额贴在一起，闭上眼睛。）”结合图片可知，图片展示的是新西兰的问候习俗。 【53题详解】 根据文章第四段“If two people don’t know each other well, they will just shake hands.（如果两个人彼此不太了解，他们只会握手。）”可知，两个法国人第一次见面不太了解彼此，他们会握手。 【54题详解】 根据文章第五段“In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet...Besides, Japanese people use a bow to say ‘thanks’, ‘sorry’, or to ask for help.（在日本，人们每次见面都会互相鞠躬……此外，日本人用鞠躬来表示‘谢谢’、‘对不起’或寻求帮助。）”可知，在日本鞠躬有见面问候、表示感谢、表示歉意和寻求帮助四种含义。 【55题详解】 根据文章第一段“When two people meet for the first time, there are many ways to greet each other. But these ways are not always the same in every country.（当两个人第一次见面时，有很多种互相问候的方式。但这些方式在每个国家并不总是一样的。）”以及全文内容，结合题目要求的词汇“customs, greeting, world, different”，可知，文章的标题可以是“世界各地不同的问候习俗”。 Ⅷ.交流与表达（共6小题，计20分） 第一节：补全对话。（共5小题，计5分） 根据下面对话中的情景，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 A: Hi, Teng Fei, I called you at 5:00 p. m. yesterday afternoon, but you didn’t answer. ___________56___________?

What is the highest mountain in the world 59. Would you like to go with me 60. See you then 【解析】 【导语】本文是两人谈论读书内容的一段对话，最后两人相约一起参加社区的演讲。 【56题详解】 根据B的答语“Oh, I was reading a book in the city library at that time.”可知，此处是询问对方昨天下午5点正在做什么，应用过去进行时的特殊疑问句结构，“What were you doing”符合语法和语境。 【57题详解】 根据B的答语“The book is about national geography.”可知，此处询问这本书是关于什么内容的，“What is the book about”符合逻辑。 【58题详解】 根据B的答语“It's Qomolangma. It’s the highest mountain in the world.”可知，此处是询问世界上最高的山是什么，故填“What is the highest mountain in the world”符合语境。 【59题详解】 根据B的答语“Yes, I’d love to!”可知，此处是A邀请B一起去社区做演讲，常用邀请句型Would you like to do sth，结合语境填“Would you like to go with me”符合上下文逻辑。 【60题详解】 对话最后约定了见面的时间和地点，A回应告别语“See you!”，因此B此处应是与A告别，因已约定具体时间，用“See you then”最为恰当。 第二节：书面表达。（共1题，计15分） 61. 假定你是李华，上个月你在学校国际交换生交流活动中担任志愿者，请结合以下表格中的提示，以“A Meaningful Volunteer Activity”为题，写一篇英语短文，介绍你的一次志愿经历。 Kind of volunteer work show exchange students around the school teach useful Chinese expressions introduce Chinese culture Time spent on the work lasted for one week Reasons for taking the work help others improve English Feelings have learnt the importance of cultural communication 要求： 1.短文内容应包含题目要求所给的全部信息，可适当发挥； 2.短文中不得出现你的任何真实信息（姓名、校名和地名）； 3.语句通顺，语法正确，书写规范，词数不少于70词。 A Meaningful Volunteer Activity _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 A Meaningful Volunteer Activity Last month, I had a special experience.

B Teenagers often think they are old enough to make their own decisions, but their parents may worry about their growth and development. Young people always complain (抱怨) that their parents don’t understand them. When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their children to make a decision for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents always treat you as a little child. You aren’t allowed to do what you like in your daily lives. However, it should be remembered that not long ago, they were children too. And parents still recall their own childhood mistakes in the past. They want to protect you, but you don’t want them to do so. So, if you want to get more freedom (自由), you should first try to understand your parents. Don’t lie to them. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids in my class can stay out late.” Tell them what you want to do, where you will be, and why it is important for you to stay out late. Then they will say, “Yes, but be more careful and give us a call if possible.” In this way, through understanding and communication, teenagers can not only get much freedom but also build a good relationship with their parents. 29. Which of the following shows that parents don’t understand children? A. It’s OK for you to join the robot club. B. We understand you want to hang out with friends. C. We believe you can get an A in the English exam. D. It must be your mistake to fight with others at school. 30. What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept. B. Remember. C. Manage. D. Forgive. 31. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A. Different ideas about freedom. B. Teenagers’ fights to get more freedom. C. The ways to improve the parent-teenager relationship. D. The reasons why teenagers often lie to their parents. C At the age of 50, Phoebe was told that she had cancer, with less than a year to live. Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most — watching birds. She went off to some of the world’s most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. Years came and went, but she was still alive, which surprised her doctors and her family. Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.” Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000 kinds of birds! Phoebe’s interest in bird-watching started when she moved to Missouri (密苏里州). There, she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. “We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds,” she said. Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years later, the American Birding Association came out with her memoirs (回忆录). Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn’t just a story about a bird watcher’s travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected. 32. What were Phoebe’s doctors surprised by? A. Her long travels. B. The difficulties she met. C. Her strong spirit and life force. D. The discoveries she made. 33. What is the correct order of the following events? ①Phoebe was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.” ②Phoebe caught cancer. ③Phoebe found 8,000 kinds of birds. ④Phoebe stayed on an island for two weeks. A. ①③④② B. ②①③④ C. ②④③① D. ③②①④ 34. What can we know about Phoebe from Paragraph 5? A. She cared a lot about environmental protection. B. She began to watch birds after she got cancer. C. She only studied birds in her free time. D. She wrote books about different kinds of birds. 35. What may the best title for Phoebe’s memoirs be? A. Facing Up to Changes B. Fighting for the Environment C. Birding on Borrowed Time D. Enjoying the Beauty of Nature Ⅴ.完成句子：根据所给汉语意思，用单词或者短语完成下列英文句子。（共5小题，计10分） 36. 你听说过陈彦创作的小说《主角》吗?

In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite (对方的) teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. They might only wave or maybe just nod their heads. In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet. Cheek kissing or handshaking is common for French people. If two friends meet, they kiss each other on the cheek and make a kissing sound in the air. If two people don’t know each other well, they will just shake hands. In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. A deeper, longer bow shows more respect. Besides, Japanese people use a bow to say “thanks”, “sorry”, or to ask for help. Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that both sides understand each other. 51. Why do teams shake hands before a game in America? They shake hands to______________________ to each other. 52. Which country’s greeting custom does the picture on the right show?
