Would you try it again? Maybe you will give it a second or even a third chance after reading my best friend’s story. Brian’s family love fruits. They eat all kinds of fruits, but they had never tasted durians (榴莲) three years ago. One day Brian went to Malaysia on business. When the durian season came, the boss rented (租) a bus to take all the workers to the durian garden. He bought a big basket of durians for them. When Brian first tasted the fruit, it was terrible and the smell almost made him throw up (呕吐). The next year, as soon as the durian season came, they went to the durian garden again. Brian was still nervous, but he ate the fruit. It still smelled bad, but he was able to eat most of it. The third year, he actually liked the fruit and even enjoyed the taste. After he returned home, he introduced durians to his wife, kids, friends and relatives. It just goes to show that sometimes you have to hold your nose, take a deep breath and go for it. That’s what Brian did, and he’s glad that he did. To him and his family, the durian is the king of fruits now. 59. Why did Brian go to Malaysia? A. To work. B. To travel. C. To visit his friends. D. To look for durians. 60. How did Brian first get to the durian garden? A. On foot. B. By taxi. C. By bus. D. By bike. 61. What’s the writer’s purpose in sharing the story with us? A.

You may think it is cool to be tall, but I was never very athletic. Other kids could do things in sports that I just couldn’t do, like hitting or throwing a baseball. I was the world’s worst thrower. In Grade 8, we got a new teacher. He took a look at me and said, “This school needs a basketball team and you are going to be the star!” I laughed, and my friends laughed even harder. “Darlene doesn’t even know what a basketball is!” joked one of my friends. The new teacher said, “Don’t worry. I’ll show you what she can do.” Every day after school, I practiced shooting with the new teacher. But after a few weeks, I had about five out of ten shots (投篮) landing in the basket. I still wasn’t very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot, I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down. The season came and went. We didn’t do very well, but I learned something about myself. I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year. It’s exciting to discover something about yourself and to know that you are what you make of yourself. 62. What does the underlined word “athletic” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 善于交际的 B. 乐于助人的 C. 善于运动的 D. 勤于思考的 63. Why did Darlene and her friends laugh? A. Because the teacher told them a joke. B. Because the teacher understood them. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者上七年级时个子很高，但运动能力差。八年级新老师鼓励她打篮球，她刻苦练习虽进步不大，但凭借身高优势抢球。这段经历让她认识到，自己可以塑造自己。 【62题详解】 第二段划线词后的句子“Other kids could do things in sports that I just couldn’t do.”表明，作者不擅长体育运动，因此athletic在此处意为“擅于运动的”。 【63题详解】 第二段作者提到自己从不擅长运动，以及第四段朋友开玩笑说“Darlene doesn’t even know what a basketball is!”表明，她们大笑是因为不相信老师说的“你会成为明星”这句话，觉得不可思议。 【64题详解】 第五段主要描述了Darlene每天放学后练习投篮，几周后十投五中，并且利用身高优势抢球的过程。这主要讲述了她在训练期间取得的进步和表现。 【65题详解】 最后一段中的“I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year.”表明，她明年很可能会进入高中篮球队。 D Richard Turere has always enjoyed making things using old objects. For example, when he was quite young, he made fans (风扇) for his parents’ house from car parts and things he found in the yard. Richard lives near the Nairobi National Park in Kenya. It is home to rhinos, giraffes, lions and many other animals that live in Kenya. When he was nine, Richard began to look after his family’s cows and sheep. The big problem was the lions. “I grew up hating lions,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cows when we were sleeping.” Then one night, as he was walking around the cowshed (牛棚) with a flashlight in his hand, he noticed the lions didn’t come that day. Richard realized that lions are scared of a moving light. So he had an idea. Using some used parts from a car and a motorcycle (摩托车), Richard set up some flashing lights to trick the lions into thinking that people were walking around the cowshed. The lions didn’t come near. Soon other families were using his “lion lights”. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Now, across Kenya, Richard’s idea has been used by farmers to protect their animals. Richard has been accepted into one of Kenya’s top schools. “One year ago, I was just a boy looking after my father’s cows. Now I want to be an engineer or a pilot.” 66. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)? A. The houses. B. The parks. C. The yards. D. The lions. 67. What can we learn from the text? A. Richard made fans for his neighbors when he was young. B. Richard thought it was boring to work on the farm. C. Richard enjoys visiting the Nairobi National Park. D. Richard studies in one of Kenya’s top schools. 68. What is the best title (标题) for the text? A. Young Boy, Big Invention B. Richard Turere’s Dream C. Farmers’ Life in Kenya D. The Dangers of Lions 【答案】66. D 67. D 68. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物记叙文，讲述肯尼亚男孩Richard Turere擅长利用废旧物品动手制作，他发现狮子惧怕移动光源，便用汽车、摩托车废旧零件造出闪光装置驱赶狮子保护家畜，这项发明造福当地农户，他也因此进入肯尼亚顶尖学校，立志成为工程师或飞行员。 【66题详解】 根据第三段原文“The big problem was the lions. ‘I grew up hating lions,’ says Richard. ‘They used to come at night and feed on our cows when we were sleeping.’”可知，前文主语为lions，代词They用来指代前文提到的狮子。 【67题详解】 根据最后一段“Richard has been accepted into one of Kenya’s top schools.”可知，Richard已被肯尼亚顶尖学校之一录取，即他在那里学习。 【68题详解】 文章主要讲述了少年Richard利用废旧物品发明“狮子灯”，既保护了牲畜又拯救了狮子的故事。选项A“Young Boy, Big Invention”准确概括了人物身份及其发明的重要意义，最适合作为标题。 E Philipp and Johannes are brothers in Germany. They invent funny things and make interesting videos on the Internet. The brothers became popular because of one of their recent videos. In the video, Philipp flew a bathtub (浴缸) to a local food store and bought a sandwich. At the beginning of the video, Philipp climbed into the special bathtub. He wore a helmet and there was a camera on it to record everything. He used his remote control to let the bathtub rise into the air. After the bathtub took off, it crossed farm land and a small river. At last, it carried Philipp to the food store—Kopps Bakery. Philipp climbed out and went into the store to buy a sandwich. Although the flying bathtub was able to carry Philipp to the food store, it didn’t have enough power (力量) to carry him home again. The brothers spent two months making the flying bathtub. They used drone (无人机) technology on it. “German laws (法律) allow us to do it as long as the bathtub flies below 98 feet (30 m),” the brothers said. Johannes said, “Before the bathtub took off, people didn’t believe it could actually fly. When it flew away, they were so surprised. This is the world’s first flying bathtub. Some people even told us to start a company to sell those bathtub drones.” 69. What did Philipp do in the recent video? A. He made friends with a wild animal. B. He flew a bathtub to buy a sandwich. C. He drove his car in a dangerous way. D. He built a house in the forest. 70. How long did it take the brothers to make the flying bathtub? A. A year. B. Half a year. C. Two months. D. A month. 71. What do we know about the flying bathtub? A. It was invented by a French man. B. It can only hold two persons. C. Drone technology is used on it. D. It has enough power to fly for days. 72. Which of the following best describes Philipp and Johannes? A. Creative. B. Poor. C. Serious. D. Lucky. 【答案】69. B 70. C 71. C 72. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Philipp和Johannes二人发明飞行浴缸的故事。 【69题详解】 根据文章第一段最后一句“In the video, Philipp flew a bathtub to a local food store and bought a sandwich.”可知，Philipp在视频中做的事情是驾驶浴缸去买三明治。 【70题详解】 根据文章第三段第一句“The brothers spent two months making the flying bathtub.”可知，制作时间为两个月。 【71题详解】 根据文章第三段第二句“They used drone technology on it.”可知，C项正确。A项错误，他们是德国人（in Germany）；B项文中未提及具体载客人数限制；D项错误，文中第二段提到“it didn’t have enough power to carry him home again”。 【72题详解】 通读全文可知，兄弟俩发明了有趣的东西（invent funny things），并制造出了世界上第一个飞行浴缸（world’s first flying bathtub），这体现了他们具有创造力和创新精神（Creative）。B项（贫穷）、C项（严肃）、D项（幸运）均不符合文意。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience (观众) can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet (皮影) play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather (皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so that the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters. The shadow puppet play is a kind of ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They ________. 73.

They eat all kinds of fruits, but they had never tasted durians (榴莲) three years ago. One day Brian went to Malaysia on business. When the durian season came, the boss rented (租) a bus to take all the workers to the durian garden. He bought a big basket of durians for them. When Brian first tasted the fruit, it was terrible and the smell almost made him throw up (呕吐). The next year, as soon as the durian season came, they went to the durian garden again. Brian was still nervous, but he ate the fruit. It still smelled bad, but he was able to eat most of it. The third year, he actually liked the fruit and even enjoyed the taste. After he returned home, he introduced durians to his wife, kids, friends and relatives. It just goes to show that sometimes you have to hold your nose, take a deep breath and go for it.

C When I started Grade 7, I was taller than all the other students in the school and most of the teachers. You may think it is cool to be tall, but I was never very athletic. Other kids could do things in sports that I just couldn’t do, like hitting or throwing a baseball. I was the world’s worst thrower. In Grade 8, we got a new teacher. He took a look at me and said, “This school needs a basketball team and you are going to be the star!” I laughed, and my friends laughed even harder. “Darlene doesn’t even know what a basketball is!” joked one of my friends. The new teacher said, “Don’t worry. I’ll show you what she can do.” Every day after school, I practiced shooting with the new teacher. But after a few weeks, I had about five out of ten shots (投篮) landing in the basket. I still wasn’t very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot, I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down. The season came and went. We didn’t do very well, but I learned something about myself. I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year. It’s exciting to discover something about yourself and to know that you are what you make of yourself. 62. What does the underlined word “athletic” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 善于交际的 B. 乐于助人的 C. 善于运动的 D. 勤于思考的 63. Why did Darlene and her friends laugh? A. Because the teacher told them a joke. B. Because the teacher understood them. C. Because they were happy to see the teacher. D. Because they didn’t believe what the teacher said. 64. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Darlene’s future plans. B. The progress Darlene made. C. How Darlene’s friends helped her. D. How Darlene got interested in basketball. 65. What will Darlene probably do next year? A. She will do well in shooting. B. She will become a great center. C. She will be the star of her basketball team. D. She will be on the high school basketball team. D Richard Turere has always enjoyed making things using old objects. For example, when he was quite young, he made fans (风扇) for his parents’ house from car parts and things he found in the yard. Richard lives near the Nairobi National Park in Kenya. It is home to rhinos, giraffes, lions and many other animals that live in Kenya. When he was nine, Richard began to look after his family’s cows and sheep. The big problem was the lions. “I grew up hating lions,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cows when we were sleeping.” Then one night, as he was walking around the cowshed (牛棚) with a flashlight in his hand, he noticed the lions didn’t come that day. Richard realized that lions are scared of a moving light. So he had an idea. Using some used parts from a car and a motorcycle (摩托车), Richard set up some flashing lights to trick the lions into thinking that people were walking around the cowshed. The lions didn’t come near. Soon other families were using his “lion lights”. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Now, across Kenya, Richard’s idea has been used by farmers to protect their animals. Richard has been accepted into one of Kenya’s top schools. “One year ago, I was just a boy looking after my father’s cows. Now I want to be an engineer or a pilot.” 66. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)? A. The houses. B. The parks. C. The yards. D. The lions. 67. What can we learn from the text? A. Richard made fans for his neighbors when he was young. B. Richard thought it was boring to work on the farm. C. Richard enjoys visiting the Nairobi National Park. D. Richard studies in one of Kenya’s top schools. 68. What is the best title (标题) for the text? A. Young Boy, Big Invention B. Richard Turere’s Dream C. Farmers’ Life in Kenya D. The Dangers of Lions E Philipp and Johannes are brothers in Germany. They invent funny things and make interesting videos on the Internet. The brothers became popular because of one of their recent videos. In the video, Philipp flew a bathtub (浴缸) to a local food store and bought a sandwich. At the beginning of the video, Philipp climbed into the special bathtub. He wore a helmet and there was a camera on it to record everything. He used his remote control to let the bathtub rise into the air. After the bathtub took off, it crossed farm land and a small river. At last, it carried Philipp to the food store—Kopps Bakery. Philipp climbed out and went into the store to buy a sandwich. Although the flying bathtub was able to carry Philipp to the food store, it didn’t have enough power (力量) to carry him home again. The brothers spent two months making the flying bathtub. They used drone (无人机) technology on it. “German laws (法律) allow us to do it as long as the bathtub flies below 98 feet (30 m),” the brothers said. Johannes said, “Before the bathtub took off, people didn’t believe it could actually fly. When it flew away, they were so surprised. This is the world’s first flying bathtub. Some people even told us to start a company to sell those bathtub drones.” 69. What did Philipp do in the recent video? A. He made friends with a wild animal. B. He flew a bathtub to buy a sandwich. C. He drove his car in a dangerous way. D. He built a house in the forest. 70. How long did it take the brothers to make the flying bathtub? A. A year. B. Half a year. C. Two months. D. A month. 71.

Which of the following best describes Philipp and Johannes? A. Creative. B. Poor. C. Serious. D. Lucky. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience (观众) can hear them, but they cannot see them.
