A. (5分)
Read and choose the correct sentences from the box to complete the passage. There is one extra sentence. (选择正确的句子补全短文,其中有一句是多余的。)
Dogs bury bones. ____36____ Camels store food and water so that they can travel many days across deserts. But do pigs save anything? No, pigs save nothing. So why do we save coins in a piggy bank? Because someone made a mistake.
During the Middle Ages, in about the fifteenth century, metal was expensive and seldom used for household wares (家用器具). ____37____ Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars. They called this their pygg bank or pyggy bank.
Around the eighteenth century, the spelling of pygg changed. The word sounded the same as the word for the animal pig. Over the following 200 to 300 years, people forgot that pygg meant the clay. ____38____
In the nineteenth century, when English potters received requests for piggy banks, they misunderstood. ____39____ The pigs became popular among customers and delighted kids.
Another reason for the name “piggy bank” is based on the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by a farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig and he doesn’t get it back until the pig is slaughtered (屠宰) for meat. ____40____
A. They produced jars shaped like a pig.
B. Instead, dishes and pots were made of a kind of economical clay called pygg.
C. Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter.
D. And the term “pygg jar” gradually changed into pig bank, or piggy bank.
E. This is known as “breaking the piggy bank”.
F. Today, pigs are still one of the most popular forms of coin banks sold in gift shops.

Read the passage and complete the following tasks. (阅读文章,完成以下任务)
Survival: The Limits of Human Strength
Joe Simpson was a British mountain climber. His story on Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes is one of the most amazing survival stories ever told.
In 1985, Simpson and his climbing partner Simon Yates reached the top of the 21,000-foot mountain safely. But on their way down, disaster struck: Simpson fell and broke his leg seriously.
A violent storm was coming. Yates tried to lower Simpson down the mountain with ropes. However, Simpson slipped over an edge and hung in the air. Yates could not see or hear Simpson. He felt the rope pulling him off the mountain too. Yates made the painful decision to cut the rope and Simpson fell into a deep crack in the ice. Everyone thought he was dead. But amazingly, he survived the fall. With terrible injury, he climbed deeper into the ice field and found a way out.
Then came the most difficult part. For three days, he dragged himself across the ice and rocks. He had no food and only a little water from melted snow. He was hardly conscious and near death when he finally reached the base camp—just a few hours before Yates was going to leave the mountain. Later, medical experts said that what Simpson did should have been impossible with his injury. He wrote his story in the book Touching the Void. It shows that when people want to live badly enough, they can do things that seem impossible.
Researchers who study survival say that mental strength is more important than physical strength. Dr. John Leach, a survival psychologist from the University of Portsmouth, found that most people die not because of their injuries, but because of their minds. According to his studies, about 75% of people become “frozen” in a disaster. They can’t think clearly and do confused things. About 15% panic and do what makes the situation worse. Only 10% stay calm and think clearly—these are the people who usually survive. “Mental strength” is important for survival.
Another important thing is the “will to survive”. This is a strong decision to keep going no matter what happens. People with this will break big impossible challenges into small, easy steps. They always have a reason to keep living, even in the darkest moments.
Our bodies have amazing abilities to get used to extreme situations. When our lives are in danger, special systems turn on by themselves to help us. When it is very cold, our bodies first cut down blood flow to our hands and feet. This is called peripheral vasoconstriction (外周血管收缩) (it keeps our heart, lungs and brain warm). That is why fingers and toes get frostbite first.
The most amazing response is the “fight or run” reaction. When we are scared or hurt, our bodies release special chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol (肾上腺素和皮质醇). These chemicals can make us stronger for a short time, make us feel less pain or even stop us from bleeding too much. This is why people sometimes do impossible things in emergencies, like lifting a car to save someone trapped under it.
Task 1: Answer the questions. (回答问题)
57. How high is the mountain Simpson reached?
__________________________________________________________________________________
58. Simpson’s climbing partner managed to rescue him with ropes, didn’t he?

Read and choose the correct sentences from the box to complete the passage. There is one extra sentence. (选择正确的句子补全短文,其中有一句是多余的。)
Dogs bury bones. ____36____ Camels store food and water so that they can travel many days across deserts. But do pigs save anything? No, pigs save nothing. So why do we save coins in a piggy bank? Because someone made a mistake.
During the Middle Ages, in about the fifteenth century, metal was expensive and seldom used for household wares (家用器具). ____37____ Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars. They called this their pygg bank or pyggy bank.
Around the eighteenth century, the spelling of pygg changed. The word sounded the same as the word for the animal pig. Over the following 200 to 300 years, people forgot that pygg meant the clay. ____38____
In the nineteenth century, when English potters received requests for piggy banks, they misunderstood. ____39____ The pigs became popular among customers and delighted kids.
Another reason for the name “piggy bank” is based on the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by a farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig and he doesn’t get it back until the pig is slaughtered (屠宰) for meat. ____40____
A. They produced jars shaped like a pig.
B. Instead, dishes and pots were made of a kind of economical clay called pygg.
C. Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter.
D. And the term “pygg jar” gradually changed into pig bank, or piggy bank.
E. This is known as “breaking the piggy bank”.
F. Today, pigs are still one of the most popular forms of coin banks sold in gift shops.
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“piggy bank”名称的由来,包括其与黏土材料“pygg”的语音演变以及陶工误解后制作出猪形罐子的历史过程。
【36题详解】
根据“Dogs bury bones.”和“Camels store food and water...”,这两句都是在列举动物储存食物的习性。因此此处需要填入另一个类似例子。C项“Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter.”同样是描述动物储存食物的习性,与上下文构成并列关系,符合语境。
【37题详解】
上文提到“在中世纪,金属很昂贵,很少用于家用器具”,说明人们需要用其他材料来制作器具;下文提到了“clay jars”。因此此处需要说明替代材料的名称。B项“Instead, dishes and pots were made of a kind of economical clay called pygg.”起到了承上启下的作用,既解释了不用金属后使用的替代材料,又引出了下文的“黏土”和“pygg”这个词。
【38题详解】
上文提到“pygg的发音变得和动物pig一样,并且人们逐渐忘记了pygg原本是指黏土”。因此此处应说明这一变化导致的结果。D项“And the term ‘pygg jar’ gradually changed into pig bank, or piggy bank.”正是这一系列变化的结果,解释了存钱罐名称的演变过程。
【39题详解】
上文提到“当英国陶工收到制作piggy banks的订单时,他们误解了”,下文说“这些猪在顾客中很受欢迎”。因此此处应说明陶工误解后具体做出了什么举动。A项“They produced jars shaped like a pig.”说明了陶工因为望文生义而制造出了小猪形状的罐子,与下文的“The pigs”相呼应。
【40题详解】
本段讲述了存钱罐叫“piggy bank”的另一个原因:往存钱罐里投硬币就像农民喂猪,农民只有在“猪被屠宰”时才能拿回回报。因此此处应将“杀猪”与“砸碎存钱罐取钱”联系起来。E项“This is known as ‘breaking the piggy bank’.”巧妙地将两者联系在一起,使比喻完整闭合,符合逻辑。

It was September 2005. I had just entered Grade Six. As a ____47____ girl, I chose to be all alone reading books during the breaks while most of my classmates were eager to make new friends. And I was doing well ____48____ the third lesson on the first day.
A teacher had us fill out a questionnaire with “get to know you” questions. I thought she would read them privately, so I felt ____49____ to share who I was.

My sheet went to a ____50____ kid. His"favourite answers"of mine were the two worst ones to be read out loud.
The first question was “What’s your favourite movie?” While other kids wrote the ____51____ ones, my answer was The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》). It was a film made in 1939. The next question was “Where would you like to travel?” The others had said “Australia” or “Japan”; I wrote, “____52____ a good book takes me.” A loud laugh broke out immediately.
My cheeks burned. I stared at my schoolbag. How I wish I could disappear inside it!
But then, something amazing happened. A voice from the back of the room said, “Guys, cut it out!” It was Michael Siever, a popular boy. The room went ____53____.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者六年级时因问卷答案被嘲笑,一位叫Michael的男生挺身而出维护她,成为她心中英雄的故事。
【47题详解】
句意:作为一个害羞的女孩,我选择独自读书……
根据“chose to be all alone”可知,作者性格内向,不愿与他人交往。shy意为“害羞的”,符合独自读书、不愿结交新朋友的描述。cheerful(快乐的)、rude(粗鲁的)、active(活跃的)均不符合。
【48题详解】
句意:直到第一天第三节课我都做得很好。
until表示“直到……为止”,强调状态持续到某个时间点发生转折——之前一切顺利,之后发生了被嘲笑的事件。after(在……之后)、while(当……时)、since(自从)均无法体现这种“转折点”的含义。
【49题详解】
句意:我以为她会私下阅读,所以我觉得很安心,便分享了真实的自己。
作者以为问卷是老师私下看的,隐私得到保护,因此感到安心。safe意为“安全的”,符合“隐私带来安全感”的心理。dangerous(危险的)、excited(兴奋的)、interested(感兴趣的)均不符合。
【50题详解】
句意:我的表格到了一个刻薄的孩子手里。
这个孩子故意选择作者最糟糕的两个答案当众朗读,说明他有意让人难堪。mean意为“刻薄的、不友善的”,符合其恶意行为。friendly(友好的)、polite(礼貌的)、angry(生气的)均不符合。
【51题详解】
句意:其他孩子写了最新的电影,我的答案是1939年的。
其他孩子写的是新电影,而作者写的是老电影,形成鲜明对比。latest意为“最新的”,与“1939”形成时间上的对比。longest(最长的)、shortest(最短的)、best(最好的)均无法体现新旧对比。
【52题详解】
句意:无论一本好书带我去哪里,我都愿意去。
前文问题是“你愿意去哪里旅行”,作者的回答是对“哪里”的回答。Wherever意为“无论哪里”,与问句“Where”直接呼应。Whatever(无论什么)、Whenever(无论何时)、However(无论怎样)均不指代地点。
【53题详解】
句意:房间变得安静了。
Michael制止了笑声后,教室从喧闹变为安静。silent意为“安静的”,符合“制止喧闹后的状态”。noisy(吵闹的)、wrong(错误的)、bad(坏的)均不符合。
【54题详解】
句意:如果我们互相取笑,有什么意义?
前文同学们嘲笑作者,Michael反问这种行为的价值。making fun of意为“取笑、嘲笑”,符合被嘲笑的行为。taking care of(照顾)、taking charge of(负责)、making use of(利用)均不符合。
【55题详解】
句意:我不记得老师或其他孩子了。
作者对那次事件的记忆只剩下Michael的挺身而出。remember意为“记得”,与下文Michael的对比关系一致。forget(忘记)与句意相反,recognise(认出)、realise(意识到)均不符合。
【56题详解】
句意:在我眼中,他也是一个英雄。
Michael挺身而出维护作者,这种行为超越了普通朋友,升华到了英雄的高度。hero意为“英雄”,符合对Michael的崇敬之情。classmate(同学)、teacher(老师)、kid(孩子)均无法体现这种情感升华。
D. (共10分,task 2为3分)
Read the passage and complete the following tasks. (阅读文章,完成以下任务)
Survival: The Limits of Human Strength
Joe Simpson was a British mountain climber. His story on Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes is one of the most amazing survival stories ever told.
In 1985, Simpson and his climbing partner Simon Yates reached the top of the 21,000-foot mountain safely. But on their way down, disaster struck: Simpson fell and broke his leg seriously.
A violent storm was coming. Yates tried to lower Simpson down the mountain with ropes. However, Simpson slipped over an edge and hung in the air. Yates could not see or hear Simpson. He felt the rope pulling him off the mountain too. Yates made the painful decision to cut the rope and Simpson fell into a deep crack in the ice. Everyone thought he was dead. But amazingly, he survived the fall. With terrible injury, he climbed deeper into the ice field and found a way out.
Then came the most difficult part. For three days, he dragged himself across the ice and rocks. He had no food and only a little water from melted snow. He was hardly conscious and near death when he finally reached the base camp—just a few hours before Yates was going to leave the mountain. Later, medical experts said that what Simpson did should have been impossible with his injury. He wrote his story in the book Touching the Void. It shows that when people want to live badly enough, they can do things that seem impossible.
Researchers who study survival say that mental strength is more important than physical strength. Dr. John Leach, a survival psychologist from the University of Portsmouth, found that most people die not because of their injuries, but because of their minds. According to his studies, about 75% of people become “frozen” in a disaster. They can’t think clearly and do confused things. About 15% panic and do what makes the situation worse. Only 10% stay calm and think clearly—these are the people who usually survive. “Mental strength” is important for survival.
Another important thing is the “will to survive”. This is a strong decision to keep going no matter what happens. People with this will break big impossible challenges into small, easy steps. They always have a reason to keep living, even in the darkest moments.
Our bodies have amazing abilities to get used to extreme situations. When our lives are in danger, special systems turn on by themselves to help us. When it is very cold, our bodies first cut down blood flow to our hands and feet. This is called peripheral vasoconstriction (外周血管收缩) (it keeps our heart, lungs and brain warm). That is why fingers and toes get frostbite first.
The most amazing response is the “fight or run” reaction. When we are scared or hurt, our bodies release special chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol (肾上腺素和皮质醇). These chemicals can make us stronger for a short time, make us feel less pain or even stop us from bleeding too much. This is why people sometimes do impossible things in emergencies, like lifting a car to save someone trapped under it.
Task 1: Answer the questions. (回答问题)
57. How high is the mountain Simpson reached?
__________________________________________________________________________________
58. Simpson’s climbing partner managed to rescue him with ropes, didn’t he?
__________________________________________________________________________________
59. What does “the most difficult part” refer to in paragraph 4?
__________________________________________________________________________________
60. According to Dr. John Leach’s research, what percentage of people will possibly die in a disaster because of their minds?
__________________________________________________________________________________
61. What is the first thing our bodies do to protect us in very cold environments?
__________________________________________________________________________________
62. Why can people do impossible things in emergencies?
__________________________________________________________________________________
63. Based on the passage, what are the two most important things a person needs to survive a life-threatening situation?
__________________________________________________________________________________
Task 2:
64. According to Simpson’s experience, what should we do when we are in emergencies or trouble?
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】57. 21,000 feet (high)
58. No, he didn’t.
59. Simpson had no food and only a little water from melted snow, and he was hardly conscious and near death.
60. About 90%.
61. (When it is very cold,) our bodies first cut down blood flow to our hands and feet.
62. Because when we are scared or hurt, our bodies release special chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol. / Because of the “fight or run” reaction. / Because of special chemicals our bodies release like adrenaline and cortisol.
63. “Mental strength” and “will to survive”.
64. We should control our fear and other feelings. / We can focus on small, simple tasks instead of the big, scary problem. / We can change our plans quickly when things go wrong. / We should stay calm. / We should be strong-willed/strong-minded.

Hi,
Some of my close friends often don’t wear school uniforms or red scarves at school. They think it looks cool and ask me to do the same. I don’t want to break the school rules, but I’m afraid of feeling left out. What should I do?
Hi there,
Now that I am 14, I want to manage my pocket money by myself, but my parents disagree. They worry I will spend money carelessly, so they prefer to keep it for me. I admire my classmates who can use their pocket money freely. How can I persuade (说服) my parents?
Hello,
My best friend loves painting and always asks me to go to art exhibitions with her. But I have no interest in it at all. I find going to art exhibitions time-wasting and boring. I’m afraid to tell her how I feel because I don’t want to upset her. How can I deal with this problem?

【答案】
Hi there, I understand your problem. You want to manage your pocket money, but your parents disagree because they worry you will spend it carelessly. Here is some advice for you.
First, you should have a good talk with your parents. Tell them you are growing up and need to learn how to manage money. Second, you can make a clear plan about how to spend your pocket money. For example, you can write down what you need to buy every week. If you show them your plan, they will believe you are careful enough.
I hope my advice can help you.
