In a city, there stood a beautiful statue (雕塑) called the Happy Prince. He was covered with gold leaves. His eyes were two bright blue jewels (宝石), and on his sword (剑) there was a big red jewel. Everyone thought he looked very happy.
One night, a little swallow (燕子) flew over the city. His friends had already gone to Egypt for the winter, but he was left behind. He decided to rest between the feet of the Happy Prince. Suddenly, he felt drops of water falling on him. The statue was crying! The swallow asked, “Why are you crying?” The prince said, “When I was alive, I was always happy. But now I see all the sad and poor people in my city. Though my heart is made of stone, I can still cry.”
The prince asked the swallow to help him. First, he asked the swallow to take the red jewel from his sword to a poor mother whose son was sick. The swallow did so. Then the prince asked the swallow to take one of his blue jewel eyes to a young writer who was cold and hungry. Again, the swallow helped. Then the prince asked the swallow to take his other blue jewel eye to a poor little match girl. The swallow did not want to make the prince blind, but the prince ordered him to do so. After that, the prince was blind. The swallow decided to stay with him forever.
The swallow flew all over the city, taking the gold leaves from the prince’s body to give to the poor. The prince became grey and dull, but the poor people became happier. Winter came, and the swallow grew colder and colder. Finally, he kissed the prince and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, the prince’s heart broke into two pieces.
God saw the dead swallow and the broken heart. He said, “These are the two most valuable things in the city. The swallow will sing forever in my garden. The prince will live forever in my golden city. Their kindness and love never die.”
4. Why did the happy prince cry?
A. Because he was made of gold.
B. Because the swallow left him alone.
C. Because he saw the sad life of the poor in his city.
5. How did the swallow probably feel when the prince became blind?
A. Sad. B. Scared. C. Excited.
6. Which is the correct order of the following events according to the story?
① The prince cried.
② The prince became blind.
③ The prince’s heart broke into two pieces.
④ The prince asked the swallow to take his gold leaves to the poor.
A. ③ → ② → ① → ④ B. ① → ③ → ④ → ② C. ① → ② → ④ → ③
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Beautiful things are the most valuable.
B. Kindness and love are the most valuable things.
C. It is foolish to give away everything you have.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文改编自《快乐王子》,讲述快乐王子雕像目睹城市穷人的苦难,拜托燕子献出身上宝石、金箔接济百姓,燕子选择陪伴失明的王子直至冻死,二人的善心打动上帝的故事。
【4题详解】
第二段王子原话:“But now I see all the sad and poor people in my city.”,王子哭泣是因为看见城里穷人悲惨的生活,对应C选项。
【5题详解】
根据第三段“The swallow did not want to make the prince blind”以及“The swallow decided to stay with him forever.”可知,小燕子并不想让王子失明,但还是按照王子的要求送走了最后一只蓝宝石眼睛,并决定永远陪伴王子,由此可推知,小燕子当时感到十分伤心。
【6题详解】
根据第二段“The statue was crying.”可知,王子先哭了(①);根据第三段“After that, the prince was blind.”可知,随后王子失明(②);根据第四段“The swallow flew all over the city, taking the gold leaves from the prince’s body to give to the poor.”可知,之后小燕子把王子身上的金叶子送给穷人(④);根据第四段末尾“At that moment, the prince’s heart broke into two pieces.”可知,最后王子的心裂成了两半(③)。正确顺序为①→②→④→③。
【7题详解】
文末上帝评价:“These are the two most valuable things in the city...Their kindness and love never die.”,点明主旨善良与爱是最珍贵的事物,对应B选项。
C
What comes to your mind when you hear “a small waterway”? Can a small waterway influence the whole world? The Strait of Hormuz (霍尔木兹海峡) shows us that the answer is yes.
The Strait of Hormuz lies in the southwest of Asia. It is about 150 km long. It is between 56 km and 125 km wide, but the smallest part is only 33 to 48.3 km. Even though it is not large, it is the only waterway from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. All oil ships from the Gulf countries must pass through it. That is why people call it the “World Oil Valve” (世界油阀).
In history, the strait was part of the Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路). That old sea road connected China with many other countries. People used it to trade silk, tea, and other things. It was very important in trade and cultural exchange in old days. In modern times, the strait is not only important for oil transport but also for relations between countries. Countries near the strait, like Iran and Oman, play a key role in keeping it open. If the strait is closed, oil prices around the world could rise very quickly. That is why many powerful countries pay close attention to this small waterway. Sometimes, some countries send their military (军事的) ships through the strait to show how strong they are. A small problem here may become a big trouble for the whole world.
So the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important waterways in the world. Though it is small, it can influence oil prices and relations between countries. The more you learn about it, the more it will surprise you.
8. How does the writer start the topic?
A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples.
9. How long is the Strait of Hormuz?
A. About 70 km. B. About 150 km. C. About 219 km.
10. What may happen if the Strait of Hormuz is closed?
A. Oil prices may rise quickly.
B. The strait will become wider.
C. Army’s ships will disappear.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Busy Waterway with Heavy Oil Traffic
B. A Small Waterway with a Long History
C. A Small Waterway with Great Influence
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍霍尔木兹海峡的地理位置、航运价值、历史意义以及它对全球石油价格、国际关系的重大影响力。
【8题详解】
根据文章开头“What comes to your mind when you hear ‘a small waterway’? Can a small waterway influence the whole world?”可知,作者通过提出两个问题开启文章话题。
【9题详解】
根据第二段“It is about 150 km long.”可知,霍尔木兹海峡长约150千米。
【10题详解】
根据第三段“If the strait is closed, oil prices around the world could rise very quickly.”可知,若海峡封闭,全球油价可能快速上涨。
【11题详解】
全文围绕小型水道霍尔木兹海峡展开,重点讲述它对全球石油、各国关系巨大的影响力,因此最合适的标题是A Small Waterway with Great Influence。
第二节(共4小题,每小题2分,满分8分)

后文分段给出三条应对质疑的具体办法,D选项“Here are some useful ways to deal with doubts.”起到总起引出下文方法的作用,放在段末承上启下。
【13题详解】
后文分“If yes”和“If no”两种情况判断质疑是否属实,对应C选项“Ask yourself: is this doubt true?”,是冷静思考后自我提问分辨质疑真假。

第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分25分)

Just then, our PE teacher Mr. Zhang came. He told everyone to step back. “Don’t ____20____ him,” he said. Mr. Zhang checked my ankle ____21____. “It’s a sprain,” he said. He asked Mike to get ice from the sports room. Sam helped put a chair under my foot. Soon my ankle felt ____22____.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者在篮球比赛中扭伤脚踝,队友帮忙方式不妥,体育老师正确指导处理扭伤,作者从中吸取教训的故事。
【16题详解】
句意:我的脚踝疼得厉害,以至于我站不起来。
根据摔倒在地、脚踝扭伤的语境,受伤后无法站立。stand up“站起来”符合;put up“张贴”、look up“查阅”均不符合受伤场景。
【17题详解】
句意:事情发生在我跳起来去接篮球的时候。
前文提到basketball game“篮球赛”,对应球类ball;bat“球拍”、net“球网”和接球动作不匹配。
【18题详解】
句意:让我扶你走路。
作者脚踝扭伤,队友搀扶着行走。walk“走路”符合;run“跑”、jump“跳”会加重伤势,逻辑不通。
【19题详解】
句意:所有人都想帮忙,但我感觉有些地方不对劲。
后文老师制止众人拉扯,说明队友的帮忙方式不妥。wrong“不对的”符合;funny“有趣的”、helpful“有帮助的”和后文情节矛盾。
【20题详解】
句意:别挪动他。
扭伤后不能随意移动伤者脚踝,move“挪动”符合急救常识;step“迈步”、call“呼叫”不符合此处劝阻动作的语境。
【21题详解】
句意:张老师仔细检查了我的脚踝。
查看扭伤的脚踝需要细心查看,carefully“仔细地”贴合;happily“开心地”、nervously“紧张地”不符合检查伤口的状态。
【22题详解】
句意:很快我的脚踝感觉好一些了。
冰敷后伤势缓解,better“更好”符合;worse“更糟”、hotter“更烫”和冰敷的效果相反。
【23题详解】
句意:很多人不懂这点,会犯一个错误。
后文说人们用热水敷是错误做法,make a mistake“犯错”为固定搭配;decision“决定”、promise“承诺”不搭配。
【24题详解】
句意:那天我学到了一个有用的教训。
作者从扭伤急救这件事收获经验,lesson“教训、经验”符合;story“故事”、game“比赛”无法体现学到道理。
【25题详解】
句意:如果没有他,我可能会做出很荒唐的事。
此处表假设“没有老师”,Without“没有”符合逻辑;With“有”、For“为了”语义不通。
第二节(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每词限用一次。

第四部分 综合技能(共两节,满分25分)
第一节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Have you ever seen a wall of sand coming towards you? It is not a cloud. It is a sandstorm!
A sandstorm happens in hot, sandy areas, such as Saudi Arabia, North Africa and the USA. Winds in the desert pick up the top layer (层) of sand and lift (扬起) it into the air. Sandstorms can be very big. The wall of sand can be up to 15 metres tall and many miles long. Sand from the storm can rise much higher, up to 1,500 metres. Sandstorms can travel 25 miles an hour. So if you see one coming, you must act quickly. It will arrive before you know it!
Sandstorms usually happen in summer, the driest time of the year, when sand lifts up easily. They are dangerous for many reasons. First, you cannot see well outside. Sand gets into your nose and mouth and can go into your lungs (肺). Second, drivers cannot see clearly, so accidents become more frequent (频繁的).
If you have to go outside in a sandstorm, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Also, cover your mouth and nose with a scarf. It is also important to close all doors and windows. Even if you do your best, sand still gets into the house. Everything gets dusty — even the pages of your books!
Sandstorms are a serious problem in many parts of the world. Scientists are studying ways to stop them, such as planting more trees. Remember, if a sandstorm is coming, stay inside and stay safe.
36. How fast can a sandstorm travel?
____________________________________
37. Why is a sandstorm dangerous for drivers?
____________________________________
38. If a sandstorm happens in your city, what will you do to protect yourself?
____________________________________
39. If you were a scientist, what would you suggest doing to stop sandstorms?
____________________________________
40. 将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。
____________________________________
【答案】36.
It can travel 25 miles an hour.
37.
Because drivers cannot see clearly.
38.
I will stay inside and close doors and windows.
39.
Plant more trees.
40.
关上所有的门窗也很重要。
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍沙尘暴多发区域、特点、危害、防护方法以及科学家治理沙尘暴的办法。
【36题详解】
第二段原文:Sandstorms can travel 25 miles an hour. 直接提取原文速度信息作答。
【37题详解】
第三段原文:Second, drivers cannot see clearly, so accidents become more frequent. 司机看不清道路,容易引发事故,因此沙尘暴对司机有危险。
【38题详解】
第四段与末段提到沙尘暴来袭要待在室内、关好门窗;外出需戴墨镜、用围巾遮挡口鼻。核心防护做法为留在家中关闭门窗。
【39题详解】
末段原文:Scientists are studying ways to stop them, such as planting more trees. 文中给出植树是治理沙尘暴的办法。
【40题详解】
画线句子:It is also important to close all doors and windows. 句式it is important to do sth. 表示“做某事很重要”,close all doors and windows意为“关上所有门窗”。

In a city, there stood a beautiful statue (雕塑) called the Happy Prince. He was covered with gold leaves. His eyes were two bright blue jewels (宝石), and on his sword (剑) there was a big red jewel. Everyone thought he looked very happy.
One night, a little swallow (燕子) flew over the city. His friends had already gone to Egypt for the winter, but he was left behind. He decided to rest between the feet of the Happy Prince. Suddenly, he felt drops of water falling on him. The statue was crying! The swallow asked, “Why are you crying?” The prince said, “When I was alive, I was always happy. But now I see all the sad and poor people in my city. Though my heart is made of stone, I can still cry.”
The prince asked the swallow to help him. First, he asked the swallow to take the red jewel from his sword to a poor mother whose son was sick. The swallow did so. Then the prince asked the swallow to take one of his blue jewel eyes to a young writer who was cold and hungry. Again, the swallow helped. Then the prince asked the swallow to take his other blue jewel eye to a poor little match girl. The swallow did not want to make the prince blind, but the prince ordered him to do so. After that, the prince was blind. The swallow decided to stay with him forever.
The swallow flew all over the city, taking the gold leaves from the prince’s body to give to the poor. The prince became grey and dull, but the poor people became happier. Winter came, and the swallow grew colder and colder. Finally, he kissed the prince and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, the prince’s heart broke into two pieces.
God saw the dead swallow and the broken heart. He said, “These are the two most valuable things in the city. The swallow will sing forever in my garden. The prince will live forever in my golden city. Their kindness and love never die.”
4. Why did the happy prince cry?
A. Because he was made of gold.
B. Because the swallow left him alone.
C. Because he saw the sad life of the poor in his city.
5. How did the swallow probably feel when the prince became blind?

② The prince became blind.
③ The prince’s heart broke into two pieces.
④ The prince asked the swallow to take his gold leaves to the poor.
A. ③ → ② → ① → ④ B. ① → ③ → ④ → ② C. ① → ② → ④ → ③
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Beautiful things are the most valuable.
B. Kindness and love are the most valuable things.
C. It is foolish to give away everything you have.

What comes to your mind when you hear “a small waterway”? Can a small waterway influence the whole world? The Strait of Hormuz (霍尔木兹海峡) shows us that the answer is yes.
The Strait of Hormuz lies in the southwest of Asia. It is about 150 km long. It is between 56 km and 125 km wide, but the smallest part is only 33 to 48.3 km. Even though it is not large, it is the only waterway from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. All oil ships from the Gulf countries must pass through it. That is why people call it the “World Oil Valve” (世界油阀).
In history, the strait was part of the Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路). That old sea road connected China with many other countries. People used it to trade silk, tea, and other things. It was very important in trade and cultural exchange in old days. In modern times, the strait is not only important for oil transport but also for relations between countries. Countries near the strait, like Iran and Oman, play a key role in keeping it open. If the strait is closed, oil prices around the world could rise very quickly. That is why many powerful countries pay close attention to this small waterway. Sometimes, some countries send their military (军事的) ships through the strait to show how strong they are. A small problem here may become a big trouble for the whole world.
So the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important waterways in the world. Though it is small, it can influence oil prices and relations between countries. The more you learn about it, the more it will surprise you.
8. How does the writer start the topic?
A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples.
9. How long is the Strait of Hormuz?
A. About 70 km. B. About 150 km. C. About 219 km.
10. What may happen if the Strait of Hormuz is closed?
A. Oil prices may rise quickly.
B. The strait will become wider.
C. Army’s ships will disappear.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Busy Waterway with Heavy Oil Traffic
B. A Small Waterway with a Long History
C. A Small Waterway with Great Influence

Have you ever seen a wall of sand coming towards you? It is not a cloud. It is a sandstorm!
A sandstorm happens in hot, sandy areas, such as Saudi Arabia, North Africa and the USA. Winds in the desert pick up the top layer (层) of sand and lift (扬起) it into the air. Sandstorms can be very big. The wall of sand can be up to 15 metres tall and many miles long. Sand from the storm can rise much higher, up to 1,500 metres. Sandstorms can travel 25 miles an hour. So if you see one coming, you must act quickly. It will arrive before you know it!
Sandstorms usually happen in summer, the driest time of the year, when sand lifts up easily. They are dangerous for many reasons. First, you cannot see well outside. Sand gets into your nose and mouth and can go into your lungs (肺). Second, drivers cannot see clearly, so accidents become more frequent (频繁的).
If you have to go outside in a sandstorm, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Also, cover your mouth and nose with a scarf. It is also important to close all doors and windows. Even if you do your best, sand still gets into the house. Everything gets dusty — even the pages of your books!
Sandstorms are a serious problem in many parts of the world. Scientists are studying ways to stop them, such as planting more trees. Remember, if a sandstorm is coming, stay inside and stay safe.
36. How fast can a sandstorm travel?

37. Why is a sandstorm dangerous for drivers?

38. If a sandstorm happens in your city, what will you do to protect yourself?
