It can hurt your brain (大脑), heart, and other parts of your body. You may even lose your life. Signs of Heatstroke ◆High body temperature with much sweat (汗水) ◆Tired and thirsty ◆Headache ◆Fast heartbeat (心跳) Quick Actions ①Go to a cool place. ②Rest and cool the body. ③Drink cool water slowly. ④Ask for help if it gets worse. Stay safe and enjoy your summer! 56. What problem may heatstroke bring? A. It may cause death. B. It may slow down the heartbeat. C. It may cause a drop in body temperature. D.

Go to the hospital even if you feel better. D. Have a good rest even under the hot weather. 58. In which situation will heatstroke most probably happen in summer? A. A boy goes for a run outside at 5 p.m. B. A man works on the farm after lunch. C. A girl goes out in a white dress with an umbrella. D. A lady stays indoors at 12 a.m. 【答案】56. A 57. A 58. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述高温天气的防暑安全知识，介绍了中暑的危害、中暑的症状征兆、中暑发生后的快速应对措施，以及日常预防中暑的方法。 【56题详解】 开篇首段指出中暑的危害“You may even lose your life.”，这直接说明中暑有可能引发死亡。 【57题详解】 Quick Actions板块给出应对中暑的做法“①Go to a cool place. ②Rest and cool the body.”，这直接说明找到凉爽的地方休息是处理中暑的正确方式。 【58题详解】 根据图片中的预防贴士“Avoid outside activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.”可知，高温时段处于上午10点至下午4点，因此B选项“A man works on the farm after lunch.”，午饭后处于该时段内，农场劳作中暑的可能性最高。 (B) America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become deep feelings between both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they are not so polite to others if it needs lots of time. But in China, we are usually generous (慷慨的) with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at a train station even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides for our friends. It is different in America. Americans cannot manage the time to be with a friend outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the friends to get themselves from the train stations to the hotels. And they expect the friends will phone them from there. Once the friends arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. Americans often think it is friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for work. Americans are ready to receive friends at their homes, share their holidays and their home lives. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America! 59. What do the underlined words “pick up” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Think of. B. Give up. C. Pay no attention to. D. Continue. 60. Which of the following is the usual way of American hospitality? A. Treat friends at home. B. Take days off to be with friends. C. Meet friends at the train station at night. D. Share everything they have with friends. 61. Who is the text for? A. American students. B. Chinese students. C. Chinese who are going to America. D. Americans who are going to China. 【答案】59. D 60. A 61. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述美国与中国人际交往、交友文化的差异，对比两国对待友情、招待朋友的不同方式，介绍美国人独特的待客与交友观念。 【59题详解】 第一段提到“Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship.”，由此推知美国人的友谊消失后也不会觉得受伤是因为多年后两人如果再次相遇，会重新延续这段友谊，因此pick up意为continue“继续”。 【60题详解】 第三段表明观点：“Americans often think it is friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants”，说明美国人待客最常见的方式是在家招待朋友。 【61题详解】 全文多处对比中美交友、待客差异，文中多次使用“us Chinese”，结合文末建议接纳美式居家待客礼仪，由此可推知本文的目标读者是将要前往美国的中国人。 (C) Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate? The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting. The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world. It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive. Sleep also affects happiness. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood (心情). Besides, tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕幸福感展开，结合世界幸福报告，介绍了金钱、人际交往、身体健康、睡眠等因素和幸福感的关系，揭秘获得真正快乐的秘诀。 【62题详解】 文章开篇连续抛出三个问题：Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money...or simply chocolate?，作者通过提问的方式开启全文。 【63题详解】 第二段点明报告观点：Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting.，说明金钱带来的幸福感十分短暂。 【64题详解】 第三段首句提出真正的幸福来源于无形的事物，随后重点讲解人际关系、善意举动带来幸福感，因此第三段主要探讨人际交往的重要性。 【65题详解】 全文开篇抛出幸福的秘密是什么，随后依次讲解金钱、人际关系、健康、睡眠和幸福的关联，整体行文目的是向读者说明什么能带来真正的幸福感。 (D) Water is one of the most useful things on Earth. It gives us life. We think water is something soft and gentle, but sometimes water is so powerful that it can even be destructive (破坏性的). Here we talk about floods. There are two main kinds of floods: flash floods and slow floods. Flash floods are sudden floods of great volumes (大量) of water. They overflow (溢出) the banks of the rivers and wash away everything they touch into pieces. Flash floods are destructive. The other type is slow floods. They rise over a long period of time. Usually as more and more rain falls, the water in rivers rises and floods the land. These slow floods happen in every country in the world. Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers. When floods happen, crops are damaged, houses are washed away, roads are destroyed, and people are killed. Every year in America water kills over 100 people, most in flash floods. Floods also cause huge economic (经济的) losses. Floods are a serious problem. Worse still, they may become more powerful and happen more often as global warming becomes more and more serious. Around the world, sea levels will rise, and more lives will be taken by the flood waters of our planet. Floods are a serious natural disaster and we must try to stop them from happening often to save our lives and homes. 66. What can we know about flash floods? A. They happen unexpectedly. B. They are slow, but powerful. C. They are less destructive than slow floods. D. They appear everywhere around the world. 67. How does the writer explain “Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers.”? A. By giving facts. B. By telling stories. C. By raising questions. D. By showing steps. 68. What is the best title for the passage? A. Different Kinds of Natural Disasters B. The Powerful Floods C. Global Warming and Sea Levels D. How to Prevent Floods 【答案】66. A 67. A 68. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了洪水的两种主要类型——突发洪水和缓慢洪水，说明了其破坏性、危害及与全球变暖的关系，强调洪水是严重的自然灾害，人类应努力防范以减少生命和财产损失。 【66题详解】 第二段第二句“Flash floods are sudden floods of great volumes of water.”表明，突发洪水是突然发生的洪水。“sudden”意为“突然的”，与选项A中的unexpectedly“意外地；突如其来地”，含义相符。选项B说它慢，与文意相反；选项C文中未比较破坏力大小；选项D文中指缓慢洪水发生在每个国家。 【67题详解】 第三段作者在提出“Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers.”，这一观点后，列举了庄稼受损、房屋被冲走、道路被毁以及“每年在美国洪水导致超过100人死亡”的具体数据。这些都属于客观事实，因此作者是通过列举事实来解释说明的。 【68题详解】 通读全文可知，文章第一段引出洪水话题，第二段介绍洪水类型，第三段讲述洪水的危害，第四段分析未来形势，第五段总结呼吁。全文围绕洪水的破坏力和危害展开，核心词是“Floods”和“Powerful/Destructive”。选项B“The Powerful Floods”最能概括文章主旨。选项A范围过大，选项C和D仅涉及文章部分细节。 (E) When you practise reading, you are not only repeating the words on the page, but also improving your reading abilities, learning and using background knowledge and learning new vocabulary, etc. While reading, you will learn around one new word for every 1,000 words you read. We did a survey about reading times among 300 students. The diagram (图表) shows the results of the survey. According to the survey, there is a huge difference between the number of words learned by students who read for less than 15 minutes daily and those who read for 30+ minutes every day. Unfortunately, the study also shows that the students who read for half an hour or more daily take up less than 20% of the total—about 50% of students read less than 15 minutes. Reading is important. We’d better read more books in our free time. The more time we spend on it, the more we will get. 69. What do students do when they are reading? ①Practise reading abilities. ②Remember the article. ③Repeat the words. ④Use background knowledge. ⑤Learn new words. A. ①②③④ B. ①③④⑤ C. ①②④⑤ D. ②③④⑤ 70. How many more words do Group C students learn than Group A students? A. 1,909. B. 6,249. C. 8,158. D. 11,957. 71. Which picture shows the percent of the three different reading times? A. B. C. D. 72. In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this text? A. Technology. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health. 【答案】69. B 70. D 71. C 72. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了阅读的重要性以及一项关于学生每日阅读时长的调查结果，说明了阅读时间长短对词汇量积累的显著影响。 【69题详解】 第一段第一句“When you practise reading, you are not only repeating the words on the page, but also improving your reading abilities, learning and using background knowledge and learning new vocabulary, etc.”可知，阅读时可以训练阅读能力、重复单词、运用背景知识以及学习新单词。②“记住文章”文中没有提及。 【70题详解】 由图表可得出Group C学生学习了13,866个单词，Group A学生学习了1,909个单词，差值为11957。 【71题详解】 倒数第二段的句子“...students who read for half an hour or more daily take up less than 20% of the total—about 50% of students read less than 15 minutes.” 即：小于15分钟的占约50%（最大扇形），30+分钟的占不到20%（最小扇形），剩下的15-29分钟约30%，对应C选项的饼图分布。 【72题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讨论学生的阅读习惯与词汇学习之间的关系，内容涉及学生的学习行为与教育建议，因此最有可能出现在杂志的“教育”板块。 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列73-75题，每小题答案词数不得超过规定数量。 (F) Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? Every person has his own talents and interests. Find something you care about, and you will see the difference. Organise a clean-up programme. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighbourhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. Surely, a clean and tidy neighbourhood will be worth the work. Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people’s homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can’t see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved. A two-month summer vacation isn’t that long, but it’s enough to make a difference. 73. What can we do to keep the neighbourhood clean? （不超过10个单词） _________________________________________________________________________ 74. Why do the old people in old people’s homes feel lonely sometimes? （不超过10个单词） _________________________________________________________________________ 75.

Pick up rubbish and look after neighbourhood plants. 74. Because there are no children around them. 75.  I will help the old because they need love. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了暑假期间可以通过清理社区和关爱老人等活动让生活变得更美好。 【73题详解】 原文第二段“pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week, help take care of the plants”，精简作答即可。 【74题详解】 原文第三段“Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while”，提取原因作答。 【75题详解】 本题为开放题，任选文中一项活动，说明简单理由，控制词数不超15词。 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ．单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据句意及汉语提示，写出单词的正确形式。每空一词 76.

I’m not sure ________ (是否) he will attend the cultural party. 【答案】if##whether 【解析】 【详解】句意：我不确定他是否会参加这场文化派对。根据中文提示“是否”可知，此处表达不确定的含义，“if/whether（是否）”符合语境及语法要求。 78. ________ (几乎) everyone in our class joined the school activity. 【答案】Almost##Nearly 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们班几乎每个人都参加了学校活动。括号内中文提示为“几乎”，对应副词“Almost”或“Nearly”，位于句首修饰“everyone”，首字母需大写。 79. The weather on Mount Qomolangma is c________ (多变的), and it can vary in a short time. 【答案】changeable##hangeable 【解析】 【详解】句意：珠穆朗玛峰上的天气是多变的，并且它会在短时间内发生变化。中文提示“多变的”，再结合句中给出的首字母c ，可以判断对应的单词是changeable。在句中作表语，用来描述主语The weather的特征，故填changeable。 80. The ________ (亮度) of the sun made it hard for us to open our eyes in the afternoon. 【答案】brightness 【解析】 【详解】句意：下午太阳的亮度让我们难以睁开眼睛。brightness“亮度”是不可数名词，句中作主语。 Ⅹ．书面表达（共1小题，满分20分） 81. 假如你是学校读书志愿者俱乐部（Reading Volunteer Club）的一名成员，请你根据提示写一篇英语短文，分享自己的志愿经历，并号召更多同学加入俱乐部，一起爱上阅读。提示要点： 1．你担任读书志愿者已有多长时间； 2．你开展了哪些活动来推广阅读； 3．你从志愿工作中收获了什么。 要求： 1．词数80左右； 2．语句通顺，行文连贯，可适当增加细节； 3．文中不得出现真实姓名、校名和地名。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I have been a member of the Reading Volunteer Club for two years.

It can hurt your brain (大脑), heart, and other parts of your body. You may even lose your life. Signs of Heatstroke ◆High body temperature with much sweat (汗水) ◆Tired and thirsty ◆Headache ◆Fast heartbeat (心跳) Quick Actions ①Go to a cool place. ②Rest and cool the body. ③Drink cool water slowly. ④Ask for help if it gets worse. Stay safe and enjoy your summer! 56. What problem may heatstroke bring? A. It may cause death. B. It may slow down the heartbeat. C. It may cause a drop in body temperature. D.

Go to the hospital even if you feel better. D. Have a good rest even under the hot weather. 58. In which situation will heatstroke most probably happen in summer? A. A boy goes for a run outside at 5 p.m. B. A man works on the farm after lunch. C. A girl goes out in a white dress with an umbrella. D. A lady stays indoors at 12 a.m. (B) America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become deep feelings between both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they are not so polite to others if it needs lots of time. But in China, we are usually generous (慷慨的) with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at a train station even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides for our friends. It is different in America. Americans cannot manage the time to be with a friend outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the friends to get themselves from the train stations to the hotels. And they expect the friends will phone them from there. Once the friends arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. Americans often think it is friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for work. Americans are ready to receive friends at their homes, share their holidays and their home lives. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America! 59. What do the underlined words “pick up” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Think of. B. Give up. C. Pay no attention to. D. Continue. 60. Which of the following is the usual way of American hospitality? A. Treat friends at home. B. Take days off to be with friends. C. Meet friends at the train station at night. D. Share everything they have with friends. 61. Who is the text for? A. American students. B. Chinese students. C. Chinese who are going to America. D. Americans who are going to China. (C) Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate? The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting. The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world. It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive. Sleep also affects happiness. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood (心情). Besides, tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to sleep at least eight hours a night. Now you know the theory (理论). It’s time to put it all into practice. 62. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By showing numbers. 63. What does the latest World Happiness Report say about money? A. It is the key to happiness. B. It brings short-lasting happiness. C. It is the best way to help a friend in need. D. It can bring people lasting joy. 64. Which paragraph mainly discusses the importance of human relationships? A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 65. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To show what brings real happiness. B. To compare different types of happiness. C. To offer advice on how to manage money. D. To tell us how to keep healthy. (D) Water is one of the most useful things on Earth. It gives us life. We think water is something soft and gentle, but sometimes water is so powerful that it can even be destructive (破坏性的). Here we talk about floods. There are two main kinds of floods: flash floods and slow floods. Flash floods are sudden floods of great volumes (大量) of water. They overflow (溢出) the banks of the rivers and wash away everything they touch into pieces. Flash floods are destructive. The other type is slow floods. They rise over a long period of time. Usually as more and more rain falls, the water in rivers rises and floods the land. These slow floods happen in every country in the world. Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers. When floods happen, crops are damaged, houses are washed away, roads are destroyed, and people are killed. Every year in America water kills over 100 people, most in flash floods. Floods also cause huge economic (经济的) losses. Floods are a serious problem. Worse still, they may become more powerful and happen more often as global warming becomes more and more serious.

We did a survey about reading times among 300 students. The diagram (图表) shows the results of the survey. According to the survey, there is a huge difference between the number of words learned by students who read for less than 15 minutes daily and those who read for 30+ minutes every day. Unfortunately, the study also shows that the students who read for half an hour or more daily take up less than 20% of the total—about 50% of students read less than 15 minutes. Reading is important.

Find something you care about, and you will see the difference. Organise a clean-up programme. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighbourhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. Surely, a clean and tidy neighbourhood will be worth the work. Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people’s homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can’t see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.
