4. 选出语调标注正确的选项。
A. You know Ella and Emma? ↗ They won first prize in the school music festival. ↘
B. Which one do you like best, the first, the second or the third? ↗
C. Today? ↘ You did? ↘ I thought the festival would be tomorrow. ↘
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:选出语调标注正确的选项。
选项A中“You know Ella and Emma?”这是一般疑问句,通常用升调表示疑问;“They won first prize in the school music festival.”是陈述句,用降调表示一个确定的信息,符合规则;选项B是特殊疑问句引导的选择疑问句,句末需要用降调,整体标注升调错误。选项C中Today?(是今天吗?)和You did?(真的是你吗?)都是表疑问的省略问句,需要用升调,全部标注降调错误。
5. 选出停顿标注不正确的选项。
A. They grew up but they chose different ways./John used all of his talents to find a good job.
B. He joined in many activities/and visited the most important people and places.
C. Everyone thought that he would be the most important person in the world./But the second young man, Joey, was different.
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】“He joined in many activities/and visited the most important people and places.”这句话是由and连接的两个并列谓语,主语都是He。当并列谓语较短时,通常不需要在and前停顿;即使停顿,也应在and之后或之前整体连贯。这里的停顿标注在activities和and之间(即He joined in many activities/and visited...),将紧密连接的并列谓语强行分开,且and紧跟在后半句开头,这种标注在朗读中显得不够自然。
三、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

①Trees are one of the oldest plants on Earth. They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials.
②Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to defend themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near.
③At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits.
④When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years.
⑤Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have an important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals.
⑥Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

【答案】29. C 30. C 31. B 32. B
【解析】

【29题详解】
根据划线词后文举例“For example, many trees grow thorns to stop animals from going near.”可知,这是自我保护,defend意为 “防御、保护”,和protect同义。
【30题详解】
根据原文“At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits. ”可知,树木15岁时开始开花结果。

生长顺序梳理:①It grows thorns.(1—3岁长刺自保) ②It grows more slowly. (15岁生长变慢) ⑤It produces flowers and fruit. (15岁开花结果) ④It becomes a real adult.(20—25岁成年大树) ③It grows older and dies.(慢慢衰老直至死亡),对应选项B。
【32题详解】
文章结构分析: ①段总起:树木是古老植物,有诸多作用; ②③④⑤分述树木完整生长生命周期; ⑥段总结:树木一生都很重要,我们要保护树木。 属于总分总结构,对应图B。

Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
33. According to the passage, what is the bees’ greatest work?
A. Producing honey for humans.
B. Communicating with each other through dances.
C. Pollinating plants as they fly from flower to flower.
34. The writer mentions a trip to the supermarket at the beginning of the passage to ________.
A. show how expensive food is becoming
B. suggest that people should eat less fruit and vegetables
C. emphasize the important role bees play in our food supply
35. What percent of plants in the world cannot grow without the help of bees?
A. Almost 50%. B. About 80%. C. 50%-100%.
36. What is the main message the writer wants to convey in this passage?
A. Bees are fascinating creatures with unique abilities.
B. Our food supply is under threat due to various factors.
C. We must take action to protect bees because they are important to our ecosystem.
【答案】33. C 34. C 35. B 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了蜜蜂在授粉中的重要作用及其生态价值,并呼吁人们保护蜜蜂。
【33题详解】
第二段指出“their greatest work is pollination”,说明蜜蜂最重要的工作是授粉。
【34题详解】
第一段开头描述去超市却发现没有蔬果的场景,目的是让读者意识到食物供应与动植物密切相关“you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected...and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.”,从而“强调蜜蜂在食物供应中的重要作用”。
【35题详解】
第二段指出“without their work about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow”,即大约80%的植物需要依靠蜜蜂才能生长。
【36题详解】
全文围绕蜜蜂对生态系统的重要性展开,第一段通过超市场景引出话题,第二段介绍蜜蜂的授粉作用,第三段介绍蜜蜂的有趣习性,第四段指出蜜蜂数量下降并呼吁保护,因此主要信息是“我们必须采取行动保护蜜蜂,因为它们对生态系统很重要”。

“The doctor said I must give up all reading, sewing, and farming, or I will go blind.”
“Marilla, don’t think of it,” said Anne. “There is still hope.”
“I don’t know,” said Marilla. “I’m afraid I have to sell Green Gables.”
Anne was surprised. “Oh, Marilla, you can’t! It’s our home!”
“What else can I do, Anne? I’m sorry you won’t have a home to come to during your university holidays.” Marilla began to cry.
That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart. But before long, there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart.
The next day, she spoke with Marilla. “You mustn’t sell Green Gables. I’m going to teach here. I can’t leave you alone, Marilla. I’ll read to you. We’ll be happy together.”
“Oh, Anne, you can’t do that for me.”
“But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home.”
“But your dreams...”
“My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher, and to help you stay healthy. Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it.”
Most people, not knowing about Marilla’s eyes, thought Anne was foolish. Mrs Lynde, their neighbour, did not. She often found Anne and Marilla sitting outside their home. They liked sitting there at dusk, when the smell of flowers filled the air.
25. What did the doctor say Marilla must give up?

①Trees are one of the oldest plants on Earth. They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials.
②Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to defend themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near.
③At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits.
④When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years.
⑤Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have an important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals.
⑥Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

A. B. C.
D
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
33. According to the passage, what is the bees’ greatest work?
A. Producing honey for humans.
B. Communicating with each other through dances.
C. Pollinating plants as they fly from flower to flower.
34. The writer mentions a trip to the supermarket at the beginning of the passage to ________.
A. show how expensive food is becoming
B. suggest that people should eat less fruit and vegetables
C. emphasize the important role bees play in our food supply
35. What percent of plants in the world cannot grow without the help of bees?
A. Almost 50%. B. About 80%. C. 50%-100%.
36. What is the main message the writer wants to convey in this passage?
A. Bees are fascinating creatures with unique abilities.
B. Our food supply is under threat due to various factors.
C. We must take action to protect bees because they are important to our ecosystem.
