They come from the heart. Joanne Miller is a teacher. She has a social media page called “Head Over Heels for Teaching”. She recently shared a very sweet story. The story will make you feel warm inside. One of her students was feeling low on confidence (自信). The girl’s classmates noticed it and did something. “This was all their idea,” Joanne wrote. “Another student started it. He shared his idea with the class, and everyone joined in! When the girl was out of the room, they worked together. They covered her desk and chair with sticky notes (便利贴). The notes said kind and true words about her. And they reminded her how great she was.” When the girl came back and saw the notes, she was so happy and surprised! She ran to hug the friend who thought of the idea. She felt so much love and support (支持) from her classmates. Joanne talked about the importance of this. “When students learn to help and support each other, that is the real win. No test can measure (衡量) this. This is real kindness in action. This is how you make a classroom feel like a family. ” This story shows us something beautiful. Small acts of kindness from friends can make a big difference. They can make someone’s day—and maybe even change their life. 1. Why did the girl feel unhappy at first? A. She had no friends. B. She failed the exam. C. She was not confident. D. She lost her things. 2. What did the classmates do for the girl? A. They gave her many gifts. B.

Teachers should care more about students’ study. B. Small kind acts can bring great power to others. C. It is necessary for students to take all kinds of tests. D. We should share our ideas with others. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Joanne Miller老师分享的一个温暖故事：一名学生因缺乏自信而情绪低落，同学们通过在她桌椅上贴满鼓励便利贴的方式给予支持，展现了小小的善举也能带来巨大的力量。 【1题详解】 文章第三段指出：“One of her students was feeling low on confidence.”，这个女孩最初感到不开心是因为她缺乏自信。 【2题详解】 文章第四段表明：“They covered her desk and chair with sticky notes. The notes said kind and true words about her.”，同学们在她的桌子和椅子上贴满了写着善意话语的便利贴。 【3题详解】 文章最后一段提到：“Small acts of kindness from friends can make a big difference.”以及全文讲述的故事可知，文章主要传达了小小的善举也能给他人带来巨大的力量这一主题。 (B) Do you find it difficult to fall asleep at night? Try picking up a book! A new study has found that people who read before bed often sleep better and longer than those who don’t. In the study, about 500 people tried reading in bed for 15 to 30 minutes before sleep. Another group of people did not read in bed. Both groups were also asked not to eat or drink anything with caffeine (咖啡因) in the hour before they went to bed. After one week, 42% of the readers said they slept better, but only 28% of the non-readers did! Why does reading help you sleep? Well, one of the reasons is that it’s relaxing. When you read in bed, your heart slows down a little, and your muscles (肌肉) relax. At the same time, a good book can calm your mind, and help you forget the worries of the day. What’s more, reading a book keeps you away from phones and computers. This is important, because the light from screens can make it harder to fall asleep. Of course, reading an e-book on a screen is not the same. Even e-readers give off blue light. This light can keep you awake by telling your body it’s still daytime. So for better sleep, try reading a paper book before bed! 4. What were the two groups asked NOT to do an hour before bedtime? A. Read storybooks. B. Have things with caffeine. C. Talk with others. D. Go out for a walk. 5. Which is NOT the reason why reading helps people sleep? A. It makes people feel relaxed. B. It helps forget daily worries. C. It keeps people away from electronic products. D. It makes people eat more food. 6. Why is it not good to read e-books before bed? A. They cost too much money. B. They are too heavy to carry. C. They give off blue light to keep people awake. D. There are no interesting stories in them. 7. What does the writer advise us to do for better sleep? A. Play phones for a while. B. Read paper books before bed. C. Drink coffee before sleeping. D. Stay up late to relax. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过研究结果证明睡前阅读有助提升睡眠质量，解释了阅读助眠的原理，点明睡前读电子书的弊端，呼吁人们睡前读纸质书来改善睡眠。 【4题详解】 根据第二段中“Both groups were also asked not to eat or drink anything with caffeine...in the hour before they went to bed.”可知，两组参与者都被要求在睡前一小时内不要吃或喝任何含咖啡因的东西。 【5题详解】 根据第三段可知，阅读有助于睡眠的原因包括：让人放松“it’s relaxing”对应A项“让人放松”、“forget the worries of the day”对应B项“帮助忘记白天的烦恼”、“keeps you away from phones and computers”对应C项“使人远离手机和电脑”。D选项“让人们吃更多食物”文中未提及且不符合逻辑。 【6题详解】 根据最后一段中“Even e-readers give off blue light. This light can keep you awake...”可知，电子书阅读器会发出蓝光，这种光线会让人保持清醒，不利于睡眠。 【7题详解】 根据文章最后一句“So for better sleep, try reading a paper book before bed!”可知，作者建议为了获得更好的睡眠，睡前尝试阅读纸质书。 (C) What did ancient people trade (交易) along the Silk Road? Let’s take a look. Just like its name says, silk was one of the most popular products along the Silk Road. It traveled all the way to Central Asia, Iran, and even the Roman Empire in Europe. The need for this colorful and beautiful fabric (织物) in the European market was-huge. The rich and powerful were willing to pay huge amounts (大量的) of gold to own it. Porcelain (瓷器) was another product that was loved in the West. It became more popular than silk in the later years of the Silk Road trade. The 17th and 18th centuries were the golden age for Chinese porcelain. Around 200,000 pieces were sent overseas every year during the 1600s. For centuries, Chinese dynasties (王朝) always had a great need for horses to fight nomads and enemy cavalry (游牧民和敌军骑兵). The horses from Central Asia were just what they were looking for-large, fast, and perfect for battle (战斗). Chinese envoys (使节) described them as “winged horses”. The Silk Road also introduced many new foods to China. Many of them have become a part of our daily diet. Walnuts, cucumbers, garlic (核桃、黄瓜、大蒜), onions, carrots, grapes, pomegranates (石榴) and even watermelons all came to China thanks to this road. Technologies were also “traded” along the road. From China, the skills of silk-making, paper-making, printing and gunpowder (火药) made their way westward. And in the 5th century, glass-making skills reached China. They were later used to create colorful cloisonné (景泰蓝). 8. When was Chinese porcelain in its golden age? A. 15th and 16th centuries. B. 16th and 17th centuries. C. 17th and 18th centuries. D. 18th and 19th centuries. 9. Why did ancient China need a lot of horses? A. To carry more silk. B. To fight against enemies. C. To sell to Western countries. D. To travel around easily. 10. Which plant didn’t come to China through the Silk Road? A. Carrot. B. Watermelon. C. Rice. D. Garlic. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Porcelain was always less popular than silk. B. No new food came to China along this road. C. Both goods (货物) and technologies were exchanged (交流). D. Western horses were small and slow. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了古代丝绸之路上交易交换的各类商品与技术，清晰展现了古代丝绸之路沿线的东西贸易交流内容。 【8题详解】 根据文章第三段第三句“The 17th and 18th centuries were the golden age for Chinese porcelain.”可知，中国瓷器的黄金时代是在17和18世纪。 【9题详解】 根据文章第四段第一句“For centuries, Chinese dynasties always had a great need for horses to fight nomads and enemy cavalry.”可知，古代中国需要大量马匹是为了对抗游牧民族和敌军骑兵(即对抗敌人)。 【10题详解】 根据文章第五段列举的食物“Walnuts, cucumbers, garlic, onions, carrots, grapes, pomegranates and even watermelons”可知，胡萝卜、西瓜和大蒜均是通过丝绸之路传入的，文中未提及“水稻”。 【11题详解】 通读全文可知，本文不仅介绍了丝绸、瓷器、食物等货物“goods”的交易，最后一段还提到了造纸术、火药、玻璃制造等技术“technologies”的交流。 (D) The Northern Lights (北极光) are colourful lights and they dance across the night sky in countries near the North Pole (北极), such as Norway, Canada and Iceland. The amazing Northern Lights actually begin with the Sun. Sometimes the Sun has powerful storms called solar storms (太阳风暴). These storms send out very hot gases made up of tiny charged particles (微小的带电粒子). Some of them reach Earth after a very very long journey. When they enter our atmosphere (大气层), they hit different gases. The energy from these hits causes the gases to glow, creating the beautiful light we see at night. The two most common gases in our atmosphere are nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen (氧气). These gases create different colours when hit by particles: oxygen produces green and red light, while nitrogen gives off (发出) blue and purple. Although green is the most common colour, really big solar storms can bring out bright red colours. The best viewing season runs from September to March, when the nights are long and dark. Some places even have polar night. That means 24 hours of darkness-perfect for catching the lights. The best time of night is between 10 pm and 2 am. Solar activity is at its highest during this time. In the past, the lights were hard to see in places like the UK. But recently, they’ve become more common because the Sun has reached the most active part of its 11-year cycle. However, the Northern Lights don’t always look as bright as they do in photos. That’s because cameras can collect more light than our eyes. And here’s something cool—Earth isn’t the only planet with auroras(极光). Scientists have seen them on Jupiter, Saturn and even Mars. 12. Which country can’t see the Northern Lights? A. Norway B. Canada C. Iceland D. Australia 13. What colour does nitrogen give off? A. Green and red. B. Blue and purple. C. Yellow and white. D. Orange and pink. 14. When is the best season to watch Northern Lights? A. From March to June. B. From September to March. C. From June to September. D. All year round. 15. Why do the Northern Lights look less bright in real life than in photos? A. Because the weather is always bad. B. Because our eyes can catch less light than cameras. C. Because solar storms are not strong enough. D. Because nights are not dark enough. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了北极光的形成原理、观赏时节、肉眼与照片观感差异，还提及其他行星也存在极光。 【12题详解】 第一段写明极光出现在北极附近国家：“such as Norway, Canada and Iceland”，澳大利亚不在北极周边，因此澳大利亚看不到北极光。 【13题详解】 第三段提到：“nitrogen gives off blue and purple”，说明氮气会发出蓝色和紫色的光。 【14题详解】 第四段说明最佳观赏时段：“The best viewing season runs from September to March”，所以最佳观赏季节是九月到次年三月。 【15题详解】 第五段解释亮度差异原因：“cameras can collect more light than our eyes”，说明人眼捕捉到的光线比相机更少，肉眼看极光不如照片明亮。 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分, 满分5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Sometimes people give others nicknames (绰号). These names can be friendly or unkind. It can be difficult to stop people from using a nickname, especially if they have used it for a long time. However, there are ways to deal with this situation. Tip 1: ____16____ When some people call you by an unfriendly nickname, they may try to make you angry. If you don’t answer, they may find it boring and stop. Tip 2: ____17____ Calmly explain to them that it makes you feel bad. Good friends will understand and won’t want to hurt your feelings. Tip 3: ____18____ Unkind name-calling is bullying, and you don’t have to put up with (忍受) it. If you have tried ignoring (不予理睬) and then challenging (挑战) the name-calling, but it continues to happen, talk to your teachers and ask them to keep an eye on the situation. Tip 4: ____19____ Introduce yourself before somebody else introduces you. This way, you can fix your real name in people’s minds. You can also achieve the same goal by signing off emails or texts with your real name. For example, writing “OK. See you later. Jill” at the end of an email will get your friends more used to this name. Tip 5: ____20____ As you get older, people will use nicknames less and less. As you meet new people and have new experiences, things like nicknames change too. A nickname is just a name—it doesn’t describe who you are. Be proud of your real name and let others know what you want to be called. A. Ask your teachers for help. B. Show the real you to others. C. Repeat your real name in your daily life. D. Don’t answer to a nickname you don’t like. E. Ask your friends to stop using the nickname. F. Remember that nicknames don’t last forever. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于如何应对别人给自己起绰号的说明文，给出了五条实用建议：不予回应、请求朋友停止使用、向老师求助、在日常生活中重复自己的真名、记住绰号不会永远存在。 【16题详解】 第一段建议说“当别人用不友好的绰号叫你时，他们可能试图让你生气。如果你不回应，他们可能会觉得无聊而停止”。因此本段主题是“不要回应你不喜欢的绰号”。选项D“Don’t answer to a nickname you don’t like.”（不要回应你不喜欢的绰号）准确概括。 【17题详解】 第二段建议“冷静地向他们解释这让你感觉不好。好朋友会理解并不想伤害你的感情”。因此本段主题是“请朋友停止使用绰号”。选项E“Ask your friends to stop using the nickname.”（请你的朋友停止使用这个绰号）符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 第三段建议“不友善的起绰号是欺凌，你不必忍受。如果无视和挑战后仍持续，就告诉老师”。因此本段主题是“向老师寻求帮助”。选项A“Ask your teachers for help.”（向老师寻求帮助）准确概括。 【19题详解】 第四段建议“在别人介绍你之前先自我介绍，这样可以把你的真名固定在人们脑海中。也可以在邮件或短信末尾署名真名”。因此本段主题是“在日常生活中重复你的真名”。选项C“Repeat your real name in your daily life.”（在日常生活中重复你的真名）符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 第五段建议“随着年龄增长，人们会越来越少使用绰号。当你遇到新的人、有了新的经历，绰号之类的事情也会改变”。因此本段主题是“记住绰号不会永远存在”。选项F“Remember that nicknames don’t last forever.”（记住绰号不会永远存在）准确概括。 第二部分 语言知识应用(共两节, 满分25分) 第一节 完形填空(共10题;每小题1分, 满分10分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every student has different dreams in daily life.

Australia: The whole family will swim in the sea on the child’s birthday. After swimming, the whole family have a picnic on the beach to celebrate their child’s birthday. Canada: In Canada, children who celebrate their birthdays are caught and people usually put butter on their noses. It is said that this custom can protect the birthday child from “bad luck”. Holland: At the children’s birthday party, the guests will also take part in a special activity. They cover their eyes with cloth and search for gifts in the room where the party is held. Whoever touches the gift gets to keep it. Israel: Children who celebrate their birthdays sit on a special chair decorated (装饰) with flowers and green plants.

They come from the heart. Joanne Miller is a teacher. She has a social media page called “Head Over Heels for Teaching”. She recently shared a very sweet story. The story will make you feel warm inside. One of her students was feeling low on confidence (自信). The girl’s classmates noticed it and did something. “This was all their idea,” Joanne wrote. “Another student started it. He shared his idea with the class, and everyone joined in! When the girl was out of the room, they worked together. They covered her desk and chair with sticky notes (便利贴). The notes said kind and true words about her. And they reminded her how great she was.” When the girl came back and saw the notes, she was so happy and surprised! She ran to hug the friend who thought of the idea. She felt so much love and support (支持) from her classmates. Joanne talked about the importance of this. “When students learn to help and support each other, that is the real win. No test can measure (衡量) this. This is real kindness in action. This is how you make a classroom feel like a family. ” This story shows us something beautiful. Small acts of kindness from friends can make a big difference. They can make someone’s day—and maybe even change their life. 1. Why did the girl feel unhappy at first? A. She had no friends. B. She failed the exam. C. She was not confident. D. She lost her things. 2. What did the classmates do for the girl? A. They gave her many gifts. B. They wrote kind words on sticky notes and put them on her desk. C. They helped her finish homework. D. They invited her to play together. 3. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Teachers should care more about students’ study. B. Small kind acts can bring great power to others. C. It is necessary for students to take all kinds of tests. D. We should share our ideas with others. (B) Do you find it difficult to fall asleep at night? Try picking up a book! A new study has found that people who read before bed often sleep better and longer than those who don’t. In the study, about 500 people tried reading in bed for 15 to 30 minutes before sleep. Another group of people did not read in bed. Both groups were also asked not to eat or drink anything with caffeine (咖啡因) in the hour before they went to bed. After one week, 42% of the readers said they slept better, but only 28% of the non-readers did! Why does reading help you sleep? Well, one of the reasons is that it’s relaxing. When you read in bed, your heart slows down a little, and your muscles (肌肉) relax. At the same time, a good book can calm your mind, and help you forget the worries of the day. What’s more, reading a book keeps you away from phones and computers. This is important, because the light from screens can make it harder to fall asleep. Of course, reading an e-book on a screen is not the same. Even e-readers give off blue light. This light can keep you awake by telling your body it’s still daytime. So for better sleep, try reading a paper book before bed! 4. What were the two groups asked NOT to do an hour before bedtime? A. Read storybooks. B. Have things with caffeine. C. Talk with others. D. Go out for a walk. 5. Which is NOT the reason why reading helps people sleep? A. It makes people feel relaxed. B. It helps forget daily worries. C. It keeps people away from electronic products. D. It makes people eat more food. 6. Why is it not good to read e-books before bed? A. They cost too much money. B. They are too heavy to carry. C. They give off blue light to keep people awake. D. There are no interesting stories in them. 7. What does the writer advise us to do for better sleep? A. Play phones for a while. B. Read paper books before bed. C. Drink coffee before sleeping. D. Stay up late to relax. (C) What did ancient people trade (交易) along the Silk Road? Let’s take a look. Just like its name says, silk was one of the most popular products along the Silk Road. It traveled all the way to Central Asia, Iran, and even the Roman Empire in Europe. The need for this colorful and beautiful fabric (织物) in the European market was-huge. The rich and powerful were willing to pay huge amounts (大量的) of gold to own it. Porcelain (瓷器) was another product that was loved in the West. It became more popular than silk in the later years of the Silk Road trade. The 17th and 18th centuries were the golden age for Chinese porcelain. Around 200,000 pieces were sent overseas every year during the 1600s. For centuries, Chinese dynasties (王朝) always had a great need for horses to fight nomads and enemy cavalry (游牧民和敌军骑兵). The horses from Central Asia were just what they were looking for-large, fast, and perfect for battle (战斗). Chinese envoys (使节) described them as “winged horses”. The Silk Road also introduced many new foods to China. Many of them have become a part of our daily diet. Walnuts, cucumbers, garlic (核桃、黄瓜、大蒜), onions, carrots, grapes, pomegranates (石榴) and even watermelons all came to China thanks to this road. Technologies were also “traded” along the road. From China, the skills of silk-making, paper-making, printing and gunpowder (火药) made their way westward. And in the 5th century, glass-making skills reached China. They were later used to create colorful cloisonné (景泰蓝). 8. When was Chinese porcelain in its golden age? A. 15th and 16th centuries. B. 16th and 17th centuries. C. 17th and 18th centuries. D. 18th and 19th centuries. 9. Why did ancient China need a lot of horses? A. To carry more silk. B. To fight against enemies. C. To sell to Western countries. D. To travel around easily. 10. Which plant didn’t come to China through the Silk Road? A. Carrot. B. Watermelon. C. Rice. D. Garlic. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Porcelain was always less popular than silk. B. No new food came to China along this road. C. Both goods (货物) and technologies were exchanged (交流). D. Western horses were small and slow. (D) The Northern Lights (北极光) are colourful lights and they dance across the night sky in countries near the North Pole (北极), such as Norway, Canada and Iceland. The amazing Northern Lights actually begin with the Sun. Sometimes the Sun has powerful storms called solar storms (太阳风暴). These storms send out very hot gases made up of tiny charged particles (微小的带电粒子). Some of them reach Earth after a very very long journey. When they enter our atmosphere (大气层), they hit different gases. The energy from these hits causes the gases to glow, creating the beautiful light we see at night. The two most common gases in our atmosphere are nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen (氧气). These gases create different colours when hit by particles: oxygen produces green and red light, while nitrogen gives off (发出) blue and purple. Although green is the most common colour, really big solar storms can bring out bright red colours. The best viewing season runs from September to March, when the nights are long and dark. Some places even have polar night. That means 24 hours of darkness-perfect for catching the lights. The best time of night is between 10 pm and 2 am. Solar activity is at its highest during this time. In the past, the lights were hard to see in places like the UK. But recently, they’ve become more common because the Sun has reached the most active part of its 11-year cycle. However, the Northern Lights don’t always look as bright as they do in photos. That’s because cameras can collect more light than our eyes. And here’s something cool—Earth isn’t the only planet with auroras(极光). Scientists have seen them on Jupiter, Saturn and even Mars. 12. Which country can’t see the Northern Lights? A. Norway B. Canada C. Iceland D. Australia 13. What colour does nitrogen give off? A. Green and red. B. Blue and purple. C. Yellow and white. D. Orange and pink. 14. When is the best season to watch Northern Lights? A. From March to June. B. From September to March. C. From June to September. D. All year round. 15. Why do the Northern Lights look less bright in real life than in photos? A. Because the weather is always bad. B. Because our eyes can catch less light than cameras. C. Because solar storms are not strong enough. D. Because nights are not dark enough. 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分, 满分5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Sometimes people give others nicknames (绰号). These names can be friendly or unkind. It can be difficult to stop people from using a nickname, especially if they have used it for a long time. However, there are ways to deal with this situation. Tip 1: ____16____ When some people call you by an unfriendly nickname, they may try to make you angry. If you don’t answer, they may find it boring and stop. Tip 2: ____17____ Calmly explain to them that it makes you feel bad. Good friends will understand and won’t want to hurt your feelings. Tip 3: ____18____ Unkind name-calling is bullying, and you don’t have to put up with (忍受) it.

Tip 4: ____19____ Introduce yourself before somebody else introduces you. This way, you can fix your real name in people’s minds.

Different countries have different ways to celebrate birthdays. Now let’s know some interesting birthday customs (风俗) in different countries. America: The birthday song “Happy Birthday to You” should be the melody (旋律) that most people know well, and everyone can sing a whole paragraph. In fact, this melody was created by two American women teachers in 1893. The original lyrics (原歌词) are: Good morning to you. Most children will have a birthday cake with candles on their birthdays. They will make a wish and blow them out. If a child blows out all the candles in one breath, people believe that his wish will come true. Australia: The whole family will swim in the sea on the child’s birthday. After swimming, the whole family have a picnic on the beach to celebrate their child’s birthday. Canada: In Canada, children who celebrate their birthdays are caught and people usually put butter on their noses. It is said that this custom can protect the birthday child from “bad luck”. Holland: At the children’s birthday party, the guests will also take part in a special activity. They cover their eyes with cloth and search for gifts in the room where the party is held. Whoever touches the gift gets to keep it. Israel: Children who celebrate their birthdays sit on a special chair decorated (装饰) with flowers and green plants. Family and friends will lift the chair as many times as they can, and finally make a blessing (祝福) for good luck. 41.
