William used to be a kid who never dared to express his true thoughts. He always agreed with everything his friends said.
One day, he and his friends were discussing whether middle school students should bring their phones to school. His friends all thought they should, but William didn’t agree. However, because he didn’t have the courage to speak out his mind, he chose to agree with them. But he knew that always going against his own will to agree with others made him feel very uncomfortable. So he told his mom about this.
“I just can’t tell people what I really think or want. It’s too difficult for me,” said William.
“You can’t or you don’t want to?” Mom asked patiently.
“I guess I don’t want to. I’m afraid to be different,” answered William.
His mom smiled and handed him a famous book, The Analects of Confucius (《论语》). William knew the book but he didn’t know what his mom meant. However, he started reading the book every night before bed. One day, he read the phrase “Gentlemen have peace but disagree; flunkies (小人) agree but have no peace.” He didn’t understand it, so he asked his mom.
“It means gentlemen achieve harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with others. They have their own ideas, and they can tell the truth bravely. Flunkies agree easily, but they don’t really work together,” his mom explained.
Suddenly, William was inspired and realized that having different ideas was not a bad thing at all. He was very thankful for the book. He decided to be brave enough to express his own thoughts. He did as he said. From then on, he was no longer afraid to speak out his mind. To his surprise, he found that the friendship had become even stronger!

Last night, my grandma asked me, “Honey, how can I book plane tickets online?” I taught her how to do that after I came back home. It made me think about a question: how many other old people would have the same problem? Modern technology has made our daily lives easier. However, some old people can not get anything out of it because they are not familiar with the new things. They need someone who can teach them and answer their questions.
Thankfully, a teenager from Fort Myers named Aaron Smolyar thought of a way to solve the problem. A lot of teenagers he knows shared the same stories-some inventions were still a big problem for their grandparents. It’s a common problem that no one is willing to join in and address. So Aaron and his classmate Christian Laquis set up a group called CLEO to help elderly people understand technology.
Aaron and his classmates have truly started a great service for the elderly people. For example, they had weekly visits to have one-on-one talks with elderly people to answer each question, from phone calls to filling out online forms.
Due (由于) to its effectiveness (有效性), CLEO has spread to different parts of the country. This can not only teach the old people, but also provide a wonderful learning experience for teenagers. They gain life knowledge from grandmas and grandpas. As elderly people learn how to use technology, teenagers are given words of wisdom (智慧).
11. What problem do some elderly people face?
A. It makes them feel younger.
B. It brings a great service for them.
C. It makes their life easier.
D. It brings them problems.
12. What’s the purpose of setting up CLEO?
A. To improve young people’s study.
B. To communicate with elderly people.
C. To provide chances for elderly people to make friends.
D. To help elderly people understand technology.
13. How do Aaron and Christian Laquis help elderly people through CLEO?
A. By buying them modern products.
B. By having one-on-one talks with them.
C. By offering medical help.
D. By holding community activities.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The influence of CLEO.
B. The future of CLEO.
C. The history of CLEO.
D. The problems of CLEO.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Help Teenagers Solve Problems.
B. Make Knowledge More Important.
C. Help Elders Hug Technology.
D. Make Future Better.
D

Last night, my grandma asked me, “Honey, how can I book plane tickets online?” I taught her how to do that after I came back home. It made me think about a question: how many other old people would have the same problem? Modern technology has made our daily lives easier. However, some old people can not get anything out of it because they are not familiar with the new things. They need someone who can teach them and answer their questions.
Thankfully, a teenager from Fort Myers named Aaron Smolyar thought of a way to solve the problem. A lot of teenagers he knows shared the same stories-some inventions were still a big problem for their grandparents. It’s a common problem that no one is willing to join in and address. So Aaron and his classmate Christian Laquis set up a group called CLEO to help elderly people understand technology.
Aaron and his classmates have truly started a great service for the elderly people. For example, they had weekly visits to have one-on-one talks with elderly people to answer each question, from phone calls to filling out online forms.
Due (由于) to its effectiveness (有效性), CLEO has spread to different parts of the country. This can not only teach the old people, but also provide a wonderful learning experience for teenagers. They gain life knowledge from grandmas and grandpas. As elderly people learn how to use technology, teenagers are given words of wisdom (智慧).
11. What problem do some elderly people face?
A. It makes them feel younger.
B. It brings a great service for them.
C. It makes their life easier.
D. It brings them problems.
12. What’s the purpose of setting up CLEO?
A. To improve young people’s study.
B. To communicate with elderly people.
C. To provide chances for elderly people to make friends.
D. To help elderly people understand technology.
13. How do Aaron and Christian Laquis help elderly people through CLEO?
A. By buying them modern products.
B. By having one-on-one talks with them.
C. By offering medical help.
D. By holding community activities.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The influence of CLEO.
B. The future of CLEO.
C. The history of CLEO.
D. The problems of CLEO.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Help Teenagers Solve Problems.
B. Make Knowledge More Important.
C. Help Elders Hug Technology.
D. Make Future Better.
【答案】11. D 12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C

How did people tell the time before clocks were invented?
____16____ They looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening.
Later, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position of the shadow changed. ____17____
Over time, the Chinese first used sundials (日晷) instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. ____18____ But sundials don’t work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out.
Water clocks used water to measure time at night. ____19____ The level of the water in the bowls showed the time.
People also used sand—glasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sand-glasses. ____20____ It measures short amounts of time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the sand—glass over.

A. Each number stands for an hour of the day.
B. This would let people tell what time it was.
C. At first, the ancient people used the sun to tell the time.
D. Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another.
E. The sand falls from the top of the sand—glass to the bottom.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍钟表发明之前古人各式各样的计时工具,按照时间先后依次介绍了依靠太阳、影子杆、日晷、水钟和沙漏计时的方式。文章分别说明了各类计时工具的工作原理,同时也点明了日晷仅晴天可用的局限以及水钟、沙漏的适用场景。
【16题详解】
根据前文“How did people tell the time before clocks were invented?”和下文紧接着提到“They looked up at the sun...”可知,此处需要承上启下。且此处位于段落开头,选项C“At first, the ancient people used the sun to tell the time.”总领了这一段关于利用太阳计时的内容,与下文的看太阳行为逻辑一致。
【17题详解】
前文描述了埃及人用棍子测量时间,阳光照射棍子产生阴影,随着太阳移动阴影位置改变。此处位于段落末尾,起到总结的作用。选项B“This would let people tell what time it was.”是对前文“阴影位置变化”这一现象结果的总结,说明了这种方法的用途。
【18题详解】
前一句提到“As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers.”,后文用“but”进行转折说明日晷在多云的白天不工作,此处需要承接上下文内容。选项A“Each number stands for an hour of the day.”紧承前文提到的“numbers”,解释了日晷上数字的含义,逻辑通顺。
【19题详解】
该段主题是“Water clocks”,后一句提到“The level of the water in the bowls showed the time.”,选项D“Water dripped slowly from one bowl into another.”描述了水钟的工作原理,且其中的“bowl”与后文的“bowls”相呼应。
【20题详解】
前文提到以前人们用沙漏计时,选项E“The sand falls from the top of the sand—glass to the bottom.”描述了沙漏中沙子的运动过程,为后文解释如何通过落沙计量时间做了铺垫。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者偶遇海豚搁浅,与众人合力救援,被海豚互助精神感动,从而感悟到人类应向动物学习的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:突然,我看到一些海豚搁浅了。
根据前文“ watched dolphins swim”和后文“saw some dolphins were beached”可知,原本是看海豚游泳,之后看到搁浅,是突发情况,即突然看到海豚搁浅。Luckily 幸运地、Happily 开心地、Excitedly 激动地,均不符合撞见海豚搁浅的突发场景。
【22题详解】
句意:它们离开水是非常危险的。
根据文章“It was a life-or-death moment for the dolphins.”可知,海豚离水会有生命危险,dangerous “危险的” 贴合文意;amazing 令人惊奇的、important 重要的、necessary 必要的,逻辑不通。
【23题详解】
句意:没有想太多,我跳出汽车,跑向海滩。
Without thinking too much是固定搭配,意为 “不假思索、没多想”;With带有、By通过、On 在……之上,不符合搭配。
【24题详解】
句意:我首先报了警,但他们离得很远。
根据“called”和紧急救援情境可知,通常是联系对象是 police警察;group团体、class班级、family家人,均不是紧急救援求助渠道。
【25题详解】
句意:我不知道如何帮助它们,所以我在网上发了一条消息。
how to do sth.固定结构,意为 “如何做某事”;why为什么、which哪一个、when何时,语义不符。
【26题详解】
句意:我希望有人能看到它,来拯救那些可爱的动物。
前文海豚搁浅急需救援,save“拯救、救助” 匹配故事主线;watch观看、enjoy欣赏、find找到,无救助含义。
【27题详解】
句意:然后越来越多的人到达。
根据文章“three teenage boys from a nearby school came first”,可知之后更多人到达。arrived “到达” 符合情节;changed改变、moved移动、left离开,逻辑相反。
【28题详解】
句意:我们决定先救体型更小的海豚,合力把它们送回更深的水域。
根据文章“move them back to the...water successfully”,可知,海豚搁浅,要回到 deeper“更深”的海里。dirtier更脏的、quieter更安静的、cleaner更干净的,和生存需求无关。
【29题详解】
句意:令我惊讶的是,在较小的海豚被救后,它们没有一只离开。
after引导时间先后,表 “在小海豚被救完之后”;before在…… 之前、whenever无论何时、until直到,语义不通。
【30题详解】
句意:在我们完成救援工作后,所有的海豚都从水里抬起头。
finished the rescue work意为 “完成救援工作”;started开启、closed关闭、tried尝试,不符合后文救援结束的情节。
【31题详解】
句意:游来游去向我们表示感谢。
众人奋力营救海豚,thanks “感谢” 贴合海豚的回馈行为;interests兴趣、rights权利、worries担忧,均不符合语境。
【32题详解】
句意:这让我很感动,让我的心温暖。
目睹海豚感恩、众人齐心协力救援,内心是warm“温暖的”;broken破碎的、cold寒冷的、hurt受伤的,情感相反
【33题详解】
句意:海豚在遇到困难时互相帮助的意识很强。
there was trouble表示 “遇到危难、陷入麻烦”;risk风险、doubt怀疑、courage勇气,无法搭配本句语境。选
【34题详解】
句意:在这么冷的一天,没有人在乎被弄湿或弄脏。
gave up放弃,贴合众人不畏严寒、坚持救援的情节;cared about关心、asked for索要、pointed out指出,语义不符。
【35题详解】
句意:我永远不会忘记这次经历。
整场救援是一次难忘的人生experience“经历”;journey旅途、disaster灾难、show演出,均不能概括整件救援事件。

【答案】36. traditional
37. regarded
38. since 39. first
40. difficulties
41. practice
42. deeper 43. in
44. care 45. Playing
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍传统曲艺快板,讲述女孩Amy从小学习快板的经历,克服困难坚持练习,同时创作关爱老人、家庭主题的快板作品,传递传统文化与温情。
【36题详解】
句意:它是一种传统艺术形式。空格修饰名词art form,需形容词。结合后面“traditional Chinese rap”,此处表达“传统的”,方框内tradition为名词,变形形容词traditional(传统的)符合语义。
【37题详解】
句意:它也可以被视作中式传统说唱。固定搭配be regarded as表示“被看作、被认为”;空格为被动语态,regard需变为过去分词regarded,其余单词无此固定短语搭配。
【38题详解】
句意:她从六岁起就一直在学习快板。主句现在完成进行时has been learning,从句一般过去时,连词since引导时间起点,意为“自从……”;其他词汇不能连接前后时态表达“自某岁开始”。
【39题详解】
句意:她第一次观看快板表演时,就被随性活泼的语言震撼。固定搭配the first time表示“第一次”;one为基数词,变形序数词first,修饰time构成时间状语,其余词无此用法。
【40题详解】
句意:尽管遇到许多难题,Amy也从未放弃。many后接可数名词复数;difficult为形容词,变形名词difficulty(困难),复数difficulties;符合“学习快板遇到诸多困难”的句意。
【41题详解】
句意:经过多年练习,她取得巨大进步。many years’为名词所有格,后接名词;practice可作名词表“练习”,直接填practice;结合上下文长年学习打磨快板,语义匹配。
【42题详解】
句意:她对快板的热爱比以往更加深厚。句中出现比较级标志than,deep为形容词原级,变形比较级deeper(更深的);修饰抽象名词love,体现热爱程度加深。
【43题详解】
句意:她热衷于创作以关爱与温情为主题的快板作品。固定搭配be interested in表示“对……感兴趣”;介词in为固定搭配必需词汇,其余介词无此短语。
【44题详解】
句意:她鼓励人们关心身边老人、爱护家人。固定搭配care about意为“关心、照料”;不定式to后用动词原形care,贴合后文old people的温情主题。
【45题详解】
句意:表演快板让她愈发热爱这门艺术。空格接名词clapper,需动名词作主语;play为动词,变形动名词Playing;句首首字母大写,Playing clapper表示“表演快板”,作整句主语。
第二节
阅读下面一首诗歌,根据语篇要求填空,使诗歌通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。
The life of a fish
The life of a fish must be good, I feel.
As long ____46____ you avoid the fishing reel (代指鱼钩).
I would swim all day, in the ocean (海洋) blue.
I would lie in ____47____ sun, with nothing to do.
I wouldn’t have homework to do for my school.
I wouldn’t need to worry ____48____ all of those rules.
There would be no ice cream, no chocolate, no cake.
No playing in the park, no sitting by the lake.
I think I would miss my comfortable bed.
I wouldn’t like ____49____ sleep in a cave (洞穴) instead.
A life in the ocean ____50____ not the life for me.
The life of a fish? I’d rather be me!
【答案】46. as 47. the
48. about 49. to
50. is
【解析】
【导语】本文是一首诗歌,介绍了作者对鱼的生活的想象。作者认为鱼的生活很美好,但是鱼的生活不是作者想要的生活。
【46题详解】
句意:只要你不碰到鱼钩就行。此处是as long as引导的条件状语从句,所以此处应填as。
【47题详解】
句意:我会躺在阳光下,无所事事。sun“太阳”是独一无二的事物,应用定冠词the修饰,in the sun意为“在阳光下”。
【48题详解】
句意:我就不必为那些规则而烦恼了。worry about意为“担心”,固定短语。
【49题详解】
句意:相反,我可不想睡在山洞里。wouldn’t like to意为“不想要”,所以此处应填to。
【50题详解】
句意:在海洋中生活对我来说并非理想的选择。根据“A life in the ocean...not the life for me.”可知,时态是一般现在时,主语是“A life in the ocean”,be动词应用is。
五、补全对话。(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
根据下面的对话情景,在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子,使对话的意思连贯,完整。
A: Hi, Emma. I haven’t seen you these days. ________51________?
B: Everything goes well. I’ve made much progress in English.
A: Wow, good for you! Can you give me some advice?
B: ________52________. Besides, reviewing and doing exercises really helped a lot.
A: No wonder you did well in the exam.
B: Anyhow, I still have a long way to go. By the way, shopping online is so popular now. I just bought a scarf online for my father’s birthday.
A: Cool! ________53________?
B: No. It’s made of silk.
A: Well, I am planning to go to the mall after school to buy myself a cotton scarf. ________54________?
B: Yes, I’d like to, but my parents don’t allow me to go out after school.
A: ________55________! Talk to your parents and they may change!
B: OK. I will.
【答案】51. How is it going/How is everything going
52. You can practice English by watching English programs/You had better ask the teacher for help (答案合理即可)
53. Is it made of cotton/nylon
54. Would you like to go with me
55. What a pity
【解析】
【导语】本文是A与Emma的对话。Emma分享了提升英语的学习方法, 二人接着聊网购围巾,A邀约Emma放学后同去商场买棉围巾,Emma因父母不允许外出无法赴约,A劝她和父母沟通。
【51题详解】
根据下文Emma的回答“Everything goes well.”可知,A是在询问Emma最近的情况。常见的问候语有How is it going?/How is everything going?,与答语契合。
【52题详解】
上文A问“Can you give me some advice?”,空处Emma应给出学习方法的建议。参考答案为You can practice English by watching English programs/You had better ask the teacher for help (答案合理即可)。
【53题详解】
根据下文Emma的回答“No. It’s made of silk.”可知,A问的是一个关于材质的一般疑问句。因为是否定回答且正确答案是silk,所以A可以猜测Emma买的围巾是除silk以外的材质,如:棉制的/尼龙的。故填Is it made of cotton/nylon。
【54题详解】
根据下文Emma的回答“Yes, I’d like to...”可知,A是在邀请Emma一起去商场。“Would you like to go with me?”是标准的邀请句型,与答语中的“Yes, I’d like to”完美对应。
【55题详解】
上文Emma说“my parents don’t allow me to go out after school.”,这是一个令人遗憾的消息。故填What a pity表示同情。
