Ⅱ. 选择填空。从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入提前括号内。（每小题1分，共8分）。 21. —The old town is ________ in Chengde, so many people like visiting it. —You are right. It is more popular than any other town in Chengde. A. famous B. more famous C. the most famous D. the least famous 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这个古城是承德最有名的，所以很多人都喜欢参观它。——你是对的。它比承德的任何一个城镇都受欢迎。 考查形容词的最高级。famous有名的（原级）；more famous有名的（比较级）；the most famous最有名的 （最高级）；the least famous最不有名的（比较级）。根据“It is more popular than any other town in Chengde”可知，这个古城是承德最有名的，因此用最高级，最高级前需加定冠词the，故选C。 22. My friend didn’t know which T-shirt was ________, so he took them both. A. good B. the best C. the cheapest D. nicer 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的朋友不知道哪件T恤更好，所以他把两件都拿走了。 考查比较级。good好的；the best最好；the cheapest最便宜的；nicer更好的。根据后面的句子中“both”可知，是两者比较，要用比较级的形式。故选D。 23.

A. a silver screen B. a silver prize C. a silver lining D. a silver spoon 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然我没有赢得比赛，但我交到了很多新朋友。所以，你总能找到一线希望。 a silver screen银幕；a silver prize银奖；a silver lining一线希望；a silver spoon银勺子。根据“Although I didn’t win the match, I made a lot of new friends.”可知，虽然比赛输了（坏事），但收获了友谊（好事），体现了在困境中也能找到积极的一面，俗语“Every cloud has a silver lining”意为“黑暗中总有一线光明”，“a silver lining”符合语境。 25. —Why do you clean up the house, Dad? —I’m going to _______ friends to our home. A. invite B. let C. be D. make 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，你为什么在打扫房子呀？——我打算邀请朋友们来家里。 考查动词辨析。invite邀请；let让；be是；make制作、使。根据“clean up the house”和“friends to our home”可知，打扫房子是为了邀请朋友做客，故选A。 26.

A. took up B. handed up C. hung up D. gave up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：上个月去云南旅行时，他拍了一些漂亮的照片。他回来后，把其中一些挂在墙上。 考查动词短语。 took up占据，开始从事；handed up递交；hung up挂上；gave up放弃。根据“He took some beautiful photos”“some of them on the wall”可知，是把照片挂在墙上。故选C。 27.

A. seems B. seem C. seeming D. seemed 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在大城市里，几乎每个人似乎都很忙很累，所以有时他们需要做一些放松的事情。 根据主语“Almost everyone”为不定代词可知，不定代词作主语，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，且后半句“need”为一般现在时。故填seems。 28. In this museum, you will see things like dishes and bowls from long ago. They all come from the ________ world. A. ancient B. strange C. impossible D. awful 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在这座博物馆里，你会看到很久以前的盘子和碗等物品。它们都来自古代世界。 ancient古代的；strange奇怪的；impossible不可能的；awful糟糕的。根据“from long ago”可知，这些物品来自很久以前，对应古代世界。 Ⅲ. 完形填空（每小题1分，共20分） A） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳选项。 Everyone knows bees are busy.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家通过实验发现蜜蜂不仅忙碌，还会玩耍放松，拥有情感，比人类想象的更聪明。 【29题详解】 句意：然而，几乎没人知道蜜蜂如何玩耍。 However表示转折，此处指几乎没人知道蜜蜂如何玩耍；people为集合名词，用few表否定意义。a few“一些”（肯定，可数），little“很少”（否定，不可数），a little“一些”（肯定，不可数），语意或用法不符。 【30题详解】 句意：伦敦玛丽女王大学的一些科学家发现了真相。 根据“the truth”及科学实验背景，可知是查明真相，用found out。looked out“小心”，worked out“解决”，went out“出去”，语意不通。 【31题详解】 句意：他们想知道蜜蜂忙碌一天后如何放松。 后文提到after a busy day（忙碌一天后），前文提到科学家发现了蜜蜂玩耍的真相，玩耍是为了放松，relax符合文意。eat“吃”，sleep“睡”，fly“飞”，不符合语境。 【32题详解】 句意：研究测试后他们发现了一些有趣的事情。 这是肯定句，此处指科学家发现了有趣的事，something用于肯定句，表“某事”，符合语境。nothing“没事”，表否定，anything“任何事”，用于否定/疑问句，someone“某人”，指人，用法或语意不符。 【33题详解】 句意：年轻蜜蜂比老蜜蜂滚更多球。 后文对比的是old bees（老蜜蜂），对应词是young（年轻的）。Small“小的”，Tall“高的”，Big“大的”，无法构成对比。 【34题详解】 句意：成年雄蜂比雌蜂花费更多时间玩球。 固定搭配spend +时间+doing sth（花时间做某事），符合“雄蜂花更多时间玩球”的文意，应用spent。其他选项搭配不当。 【35题详解】 句意：它们有两个选择要做。 have choices to make是固定结构，不定式to make作后置定语修饰choices（要做的选择）。其他选项形式错误。 【36题详解】 句意：第二种是在飞行或绕着一些彩色小球走动后吃甜食。 两种选择：第一种是直接去吃甜食，第二种是绕着小球玩耍（飞/走）之后再吃，对应后文“大多数蜜蜂选择先玩再吃”，after表示“在……之后”，符合逻辑。before“在……之前”，with“和”，without“没有”，逻辑不通。 【37题详解】 句意：科学家说蜜蜂有像快乐、悲伤那样的情感。 happiness and sadness（开心和悲伤）都属于情绪，feelings“情绪”，符合文意。activities“活动”，differences“差异”，results“结果”，归类错误。 【38题详解】 句意：她还说那些昆虫比我们想的更聪明。 后文说“如果你觉得昆虫愚蠢，那你错了”，推出本句意思是“昆虫比我们想的更聪明”，smarter更聪明的，符合。stronger“更强壮”，friendlier“更友好”，funnier“更有趣”，不符合文意。 B） 请阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，根据方框中所给的词和文中所给的音标进行填空。注意单词的变形。每个词限用一次。 worried; good; her; feel; make Five years ago, when Cindy first came to a new school, she ____39____ very lonely (孤独的), because she had few friends. She wanted to ____40____ some friends with someone having the same hobbies, but it was too ____41____ /hɑːd/. She was new and ____42____ /ʃaɪ/ and she was afraid to talk with others.

They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties (困难) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 49. What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 实心的 B. 空心的 C. 茁壮的 D. 健康的 50. About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 51. What can we infer (推测) from this passage? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Older trees can be great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect it. D. The life of the tree is the same as the life of people. 52. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (P: Paragraph段落) A. B. C. D. 【答案】49. B 50. C 51. C 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍树木对地球的重要作用，按照年龄顺序讲述树木完整生长生命周期，最后点明树木的生命和人类相似，呼吁人们爱护树木。 【49题详解】 第五段提到“When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals.”，部分枝干枯萎，能成为小动物的家，可推知hollow意为“空心的”，指树木内部中空。 【50题详解】 第二段指出“At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves.”对应c；第三段提到“At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly”对应a；“At the age of 15, trees become young adults...begin to produce flowers and fruit”对应e；第四段指出“When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult”对应 b；第五段指出“Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die”对应 d。顺序为c-a-e-b-d。 【51题详解】 第四段指出“If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years.”，表明成年树木在人们保护下可以长寿健康。 【52题详解】 文章结构：第一段总述树木价值；第二、三、四、五段依次分述树木不同生长阶段；第六段总结树木生命与人相似、呼吁爱护。总分总结构：首段总起，中间四段依次分述生长过程，末段总结升华。 B Twice a month, Nona Avery sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 81 years. She has sent more than 1,500 letters to her pen pal in America. The hobby started in 1942. Nona, then 12, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Nona’s eye. It was from Alice Powers. She lived in America and was also 12. “I was very excited,” Nona said. “I sat down immediately, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope—together with a picture of myself—and posted it.” Nona spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letterbox. “I was overjoyed,” Nona said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was all the way on the other side of the world!” Nona and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common. They liked the same books and the same films. However, both Nona and Alice were so poor that they couldn’t buy a plane ticket so they didn’t meet until 1987. “I was excited to see the person I had been writing to for forty years,” Nona said. “We had a big hug and then sat down, chatting for hours.” Now in their nineties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is much more intimate. So why shall we change the habit of a lifetime?” Nona said. “I’m so glad that I wrote that first letter 81 years ago.” 53.

Nona and Alice will write to each other by email. 56. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Forever Friends. B. Making Friends with Alice. C. Pen Pals for over 80 Years. D. Nona and Alice. 【答案】53. C 54. A 55. B 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述英国老人Nona与美国笔友Alice自1942年相识，互通书信81年，因家境贫寒时隔 40 年才见面，至今仍坚持手写信维系友谊的故事。 【53题详解】 第五段提到“However, both Nona and Alice were so poor that they couldn’t buy a plane ticket so they didn’t meet until 1987.”，表明二人早年无法见面是因为家境贫困。 【54题详解】 第二段指出“She lived in America and was also 12.”、第四段提到“They liked the same books and the same films.”，表明①她们喜欢相同电影、②同龄、③喜欢相同书籍。 【55题详解】 最后一段指出“Now in their nineties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other.

So, I decided to do a survey among them. Here are the results. 30% of my classmates said they’d do their homework first. Some of my classmates said, “I want to finish it early so that I can play without any worries later.” By doing this, they could enjoy the rest of the holiday freely. About 25% of my classmates planned to read some interesting books. They thought that reading was a great thing. People could not only gain knowledge but also relax through reading. 20% of my classmates were going to learn a new skill, such as painting or playing the guitar. They believed it could make their holidays more colourful. What’s more, 15% of them were going to help their parents with housework. And 10% planned to travel with their family. They were looking forward to seeing new scenery and having fun together. From the survey, we can see most of my classmates have well-organized summer holiday plans. I think it’s a great way to start the new term. 61. Why did some classmates want to finish their homework first during the holiday? A. Because they liked doing their homework. B. Because they had nothing else to do. C. Because their teachers asked them to do so. D. Because they wanted to play without worries later. 62. If there are 40 classmates in all, how many of them plan to read books during the holiday? A. 6. B. 8. C. 10. D. 12. 63. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Reading books. B. Learning a new skill. C. Travelling with family. D. Helping parents with housework. 64. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To show how to do a wonderful survey during the vacation. B. To introduce students’ different ways of spending holidays. C. To encourage students to learn new skills during holidays. D. To ask students to help their parents with housework. 【答案】61. D 62. C 63. B 64. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者对同学们假期安排的调查结果，包括写作业、阅读、学习新技能、做家务和旅行等不同活动。 【61题详解】 第二段提到“I want to finish it early so that I can play without any worries later”，说明同学们先写作业是为了之后可以毫无顾虑地玩。 【62题详解】 第三段提到“About 25% of my classmates planned to read some interesting books”，说明计划读书的同学占总人数的25%，总人数是40，则计划读书的人数为40 × 25% = 10人。 【63题详解】 第四段提到“20% of my classmates were going to learn a new skill…They believed it could make their holidays more colourful”，代词it指代前文提到的“学习一项新技能”（learning a new skill）。 【64题详解】 通读全文可知，文章开头提到作者对同学们如何度过假期感到好奇并进行了调查，随后分段列举了写作业、阅读、学技能、做家务和旅行等不同安排的比例和原因。因此，作者的写作目的是介绍学生们度过假期的不同方式。 B） 请阅读下面一篇短文，根据短文内容从下面选项中选择适当的句子还原到文中，有两项是多余的。 Tomatoes are very popular in the world.

They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties (困难) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 49. What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 实心的 B. 空心的 C. 茁壮的 D. 健康的 50. About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 51. What can we infer (推测) from this passage? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Older trees can be great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect it. D. The life of the tree is the same as the life of people. 52. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (P: Paragraph段落) A. B. C. D. B Twice a month, Nona Avery sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 81 years. She has sent more than 1,500 letters to her pen pal in America. The hobby started in 1942. Nona, then 12, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Nona’s eye. It was from Alice Powers. She lived in America and was also 12. “I was very excited,” Nona said. “I sat down immediately, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope—together with a picture of myself—and posted it.” Nona spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letterbox. “I was overjoyed,” Nona said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was all the way on the other side of the world!” Nona and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common. They liked the same books and the same films. However, both Nona and Alice were so poor that they couldn’t buy a plane ticket so they didn’t meet until 1987. “I was excited to see the person I had been writing to for forty years,” Nona said. “We had a big hug and then sat down, chatting for hours.” Now in their nineties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is much more intimate. So why shall we change the habit of a lifetime?” Nona said. “I’m so glad that I wrote that first letter 81 years ago.” 53. What do we know about Nona and Alice from the passage? A. They were from the same country. B. They liked different books and films. C. They couldn’t meet earlier because they were poor. D. They began to write to each other in 1987. 54. According to the article, what did Nona and Alice have in common? ①They liked the same films. ②They were of the same age. ③They liked the same books. ④They liked the same movie stars. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 55. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Nona has many pen pals. B. Nona and Alice will keep writing by hand. C. Nona doesn’t know how to use a computer. D. Nona and Alice will write to each other by email. 56. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Forever Friends. B. Making Friends with Alice. C. Pen Pals for over 80 Years. D. Nona and Alice. C Every month, the students in No.1 Middle School have a “Community Help Day”. They go to the community to help people in need. This month, Lily and her classmates plan to help the old people’s home. Here’s their plan: Morning: Clean the rooms, wash clothes, and take out rubbish. Afternoon: Read newspapers to the old people, help them write letters, and play chess. Lily asks her teacher, “Could we bring some flowers for them?” The teacher says, “Good idea! But be careful with the vases (花瓶) — they’re easy to break.” On the day, Lily’s group works hard. Old Mrs. Wang can’t see well. Lily helps her take notes for a letter to her son. “Thank you, dear,” Mrs. Wang says. “I feel so happy.” Lily thinks, “It’s great to help others. I’ll join again next month!” 57. Why does Mrs. Wang need Lily’s help to write a letter? A. Because she can’t see well. B. Because she doesn’t know how to write. C. Because she is too busy. D.
