【导语】本篇是一篇记叙文,记叙班级周末去欢乐农场研学旅行的经历:大家参观菜地、果园,在农场用餐、和农户交流种植知识、拍摄照片,返程时感悟本次旅途让人收获颇丰。
【21题详解】
句意:那是一个晴天。
sunny以辅音音素开头,泛指“一个晴天”用不定冠词a。an只能用于元音音素开头的单词前。
【22题详解】
句意:我们抵达的时候,农场主和他的家人热烈欢迎了我们。
全篇讲述上周的往事,时态为一般过去时,give的过去式是gave。 give动词原形、gives 三单形式,适配一般现在时,和故事过去的时间背景冲突;are giving现在进行时,不符合周末旧事的语境。
【23题详解】
句意:菜地里面长着很多绿油油的西红柿。
many后接可数名词复数,tomato复数变形为tomatoes。 tomato单数形式,不能跟在many后面;tomatos,复数拼写错误;tomato’s名词所有格,语义、语法均不成立。
【24题详解】
句意:这些苹果比市场售卖的更甜,我们种植全程不使用化学品。
出现比较标志词than,要用sweet的比较级sweeter。
【25题详解】
句意:我们所有人都了解苹果种植的相关知识。
介词of后面要使用人称代词宾格us。
【26题详解】
句意:农场小屋提供的饭菜做法朴素,口味却很美味。
主语food为不可数名词,故事是过去发生的事,be动词选用was。 is、are:一般现在时时态;were只能搭配复数名词作主语。
【27题详解】
句意:午休过后,部分同学想去喂鸡消遣,但我打算向农户请教苹果树种植技巧,来了解更多内容。
前后两件事形成语义转折:别人喂鸡,“我”选择请教知识,用but表转折。 and表并列顺承;so引出结果;though引导让步从句,连词逻辑和语境不符。
【28题详解】
句意:农户很热情地道谢,说我的小技巧能帮他减轻工作负担。
空格修饰动词thanked,需要副词;warmly(热情地)贴合友善的交流氛围。 coldly(冷淡地),和农户友善感谢的情绪相反。
【29题详解】
句意:我决定当晚把拍摄的照片展示给父母看。
固定搭配decide to do sth.(决定去做某事),不定式结构to show。
【30题详解】
句意:这场农场之旅很特别,我们能从中收获很多知识。
固定搭配learn sth. from…,表示“从……当中学到内容”。 in在内部、with表伴随、for为了,无法构成“从旅途获取知识”的语义搭配。
第二节:
阅读下面短文,理解大意,然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案,使短文连贯完整。
Last Sunday morning, I did my homework at home. It was sunny and hot. All my family went swimming ____31____ me because I had to finish my reading report before noon. At 10 o’clock, Grandma Wang came to my home and said anxiously (焦急地) , “Xiao Ming, could you ____32____ me? My cat Mimi is stuck (被困住) in the big apple tree in my ____33____ . I’ve tried many ways, but I couldn’t get her down.”
I quickly ____34____ my pen and followed her to her backyard. Sure enough, a small white cat was sitting on a high branch (树枝) , meowing (喵喵叫) loudly. It looked ____35____ and kept looking down at us.
I tried to climb the tree, but the tree was too tall for me to reach the branch. Just then, my friend Li Hua, who lives nearby, passed by on his ____36____ . He saw it and got off his bike to help. He is ____37____ than me, and he is good at climbing trees. He climbed the tree carefully, step by step, and finally reached the cat. The cat was still scared when it was saved, so Li Hua gently ____38____ it in his arms. Grandma Wang thanked us again and again, and even gave us two bottles of iced ____39____ from her fridge. We felt very happy because we had helped someone in need.
Sometimes, small acts of kindness can bring us pleasure. I think we should always help others ____40____ we see they are in trouble, especially the elderly.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了上周日“我”因为要写作业没去游泳,后来帮助王奶奶从树上救下被困小猫的故事。朋友李华帮忙爬树救猫,我们因此得到了王奶奶的感谢和招待。文章最后感悟到:小小的善举能带来快乐,当看到别人有困难时,我们应该伸出援手。
【31题详解】
句意:上周日上午,天气晴朗炎热。除了我,全家人都去游泳了,因为我必须在中午前完成阅读报告。
根据后文“because I had to finish my reading report before noon”可知,“我”没有去游泳,而家里其他人都去了。这里需要一个词表示“除去……之外”。结合选项,except意为“除了”,符合语境;with和……一起、for为了、besides除……之外还有,包含在内,均不符合逻辑。
【32题详解】
句意:10点钟,王奶奶来到我家,焦急地说:“小明,你能帮帮我吗?我的猫Mimi被困在我……的大苹果树上了。”
根据语境,王奶奶的猫被困在树上她没办法弄下来,所以来找小明自然是请求“帮助”。结合选项,help意为“帮助”,符合语境;teach教、watch观看、join加入,均不符合情境。
【33题详解】
句意:我的猫Mimi被困在我院子的大苹果树上了。
根据下文“I quickly... followed her to her backyard”可知,猫是在“院子”里的树上。结合选项,yard意为“院子”,符合语境;house房子、home家,范围太大、kitchen厨房,均不准确。
【34题详解】
句意:我迅速放下笔,跟着她去了她的后院。
根据上文“I did my homework at home”可知,“我”正在写作业,听到求助后应该是“放下”笔去帮忙。结合选项,put down意为“放下”,符合语境;put up张贴/举起、put on穿上、looked for寻找,均不符合动作逻辑。
【35题详解】
句意:它看起来很害怕,不停地低头看着我们。
根据上文“meowing loudly”以及猫被困在高处的情境推断,猫此时的状态应该是恐惧的。结合选项,scared意为“害怕的”,符合语境;happy快乐的、angry生气的、excited兴奋的,均不符合常理。
【36题详解】
句意:就在这时,住在附近的朋友李华骑着自行车路过。
根据下文“got off his bike to help”可知,李华是骑自行车路过的。结合选项,bike意为“自行车”,符合语境;car汽车、skate-board滑板、bus公交车,与后文动作不符。
【37题详解】
句意:他比我高,而且擅长爬树。
根据语境,李华能爬上高树救猫,通常身材高大更有优势,且此处是将李华与“我”进行对比。结合选项,taller意为“更高的”,符合语境;shorter更矮、weaker更弱、thinner更瘦,均不是爬树的优势特征。
【38题详解】
句意:猫得救时仍然很害怕,所以李华温柔地把它抱在怀里。
根据语境,李华把猫救下来后,为了安抚受惊的猫,动作应该是轻柔地“抱住”或“托住”。结合选项,held是hold的过去式,意为“抱住/拿着”,符合语境;threw扔、pushed推、pulled拉,均不仅不温柔,还可能伤害到猫。
【39题详解】
句意:王奶奶再三感谢我们,甚至从冰箱里给了我们两瓶冰红茶。
根据量词“two bottles of”以及“from her fridge”推断,给出的应该是液态饮料。结合选项,black tea意为“红茶”,符合语境;apples苹果、cookies曲奇、chocolates巧克力,均为固体食物,不能用“bottles”计量。
【40题详解】
句意:我认为当我们看到别人有困难时,应该总是帮助他们,尤其是老人。
分析句子结构,这是一个时间状语从句,表示“当……时候”。结合选项,when意为“当……时”,引导时间状语从句,符合语境;because因为,表原因、before在……之前、until直到,均不符合句意逻辑。

第一节: (共5小题,计5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Sunflowers look like small suns and they bring joy to others. ____41____ Besides yellow sunflowers, there are also red and white ones.

____43____ They follow the sun across the sky. They move from east to west during the day and then move back to the east at night. However, they only do this as young plants because it helps them grow much better. ____44____ It helps bring in bees and other pollinators (传粉者).
Many years ago, people grew sunflowers as food in North America. They are very useful, so they are popular among people.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了向日葵的外观特征、种类、生长习性以及它们作为快乐和友谊象征的文化意义。
【41题详解】
根据空后一句“Besides yellow sunflowers, there are also red and white ones.”可知,后文在列举不同颜色的向日葵。选项B“There are different kinds of sunflowers.”作为总起句,正好引出下文关于颜色的具体描述,符合语境。
【42题详解】
根据空后一句“They grow close together and make sweet snacks for bees and other insects.”可知,这里的“They”指代的是能吸引昆虫的东西,且提到“紧密生长在一起”。选项D“Each sunflower actually has 2,000 small flowers inside.”中的“small flowers”与后文的“They”对应,且解释了为何能吸引蜜蜂,逻辑通顺。
【43题详解】
本段主要讲述向日葵跟随太阳移动的特性。空后一句“They follow the sun across the sky.”是对该特性的具体描述。选项A“Sunflowers are connected with the sun.”作为段落主题句,概括了本段关于向日葵与太阳关系的内容,引出下文的详细解释。
【44题详解】
根据空前一句“However, they only do this as young plants because it helps them grow much better.”提到了幼年时期的习性。此处应转折或补充说明长大后的情况。选项C“When they grow up, sunflowers always face east.”与前文的“young plants”形成时间上的对比,且符合科学常识。
【45题详解】
根据空后一句“People use them to celebrate birthdays, or lift the spirits of a sad friend.”可知,这里在讲向日葵在社交和情感方面的用途。选项E“Sunflowers are also symbols of happiness and friendship.”中的“happiness and friendship”与后文的“celebrate birthdays”和“lift the spirits of a sad friend”完美呼应。

Ⅶ. 任务型阅读: (共5小题,计10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
Last summer, 15-year-old Li Ling had two special experiences: A trip to her aunt’s home in Hanzhong and a visit to a local (当地的) botanical garden (植物园) . These experiences helped her feel the warmth of “home” and find fun differences between country and city life, while learning about amazing plants.
Li Ling’s aunt lives in a small house with a vegetable garden. Every weekend morning, Li Ling helped pick cucumbers and tomatoes there. She noticed the vegetables from the garden tasted fresher than those in city supermarkets. Her aunt said it’s because they are picked right before eating, without long-distance transport (长途运输). In the afternoon, she often sat on a stone bench in the yard with her cousin, listening to the crickets (蟋蟀) chirping. This was different from her city home. In the city, she usually heard car horns (汽车喇叭声) and neighbours’ TV sounds at night.
Later, Li Ling went to the botanical garden with her parents. She saw a kind of “sleeping grass”: its leaves fold up when touched, just like closing eyes! The guide told her this plant does this to protect itself from insects. Li Ling took photos of it and planned to show them to her cousin.
Li Ling said this summer let her know more about life and plants, and she’s looking forward to her next holiday.
71. Where does Li Ling’s aunt live?
She lives in a small house in ____________.
72. Why do the vegetables from Li Ling’s aunt’s garden taste fresher?

【答案】71. Hanzhong

74. fold up
75. Li Ling’s two special experiences last summer

【71题详解】
根据第二段第一句“Li Ling’s aunt lives in a small house with a vegetable garden.”可知,李玲的姑姑住在汉中(“a trip to her aunt’s home in Hanzhong”)的一座带菜园的小房子里,问句“Where does Li Ling’s aunt live?”询问的是居住地点,故填Hanzhong。
【72题详解】
根据第二段“Her aunt said it’s because they are picked right before eating, without long-distance transport.”可知,蔬菜更新鲜的原因是采摘后立即食用,无需长途运输,问句询问蔬菜味道更鲜美的原因,对应“without”后内容,故填long-distance transport。
【73题详解】
根据第二段“she often sat on a stone bench in the yard with her cousin, listening to the crickets chirping”可知,李玲下午常和表妹一起坐在院子里的石凳上听蟋蟀鸣叫,问句询问常坐的地方,故填on a stone bench。
【74题详解】
根据第三段“its leaves fold up when touched, just like closing eyes”可知,“睡觉草”被触摸时叶子会合拢起来保护自己免受昆虫侵害,问句询问叶子被触碰时的反应,故填fold up。

Last summer, 15-year-old Li Ling had two special experiences: A trip to her aunt’s home in Hanzhong and a visit to a local (当地的) botanical garden (植物园) . These experiences helped her feel the warmth of “home” and find fun differences between country and city life, while learning about amazing plants.
Li Ling’s aunt lives in a small house with a vegetable garden. Every weekend morning, Li Ling helped pick cucumbers and tomatoes there. She noticed the vegetables from the garden tasted fresher than those in city supermarkets. Her aunt said it’s because they are picked right before eating, without long-distance transport (长途运输). In the afternoon, she often sat on a stone bench in the yard with her cousin, listening to the crickets (蟋蟀) chirping. This was different from her city home. In the city, she usually heard car horns (汽车喇叭声) and neighbours’ TV sounds at night.
Later, Li Ling went to the botanical garden with her parents. She saw a kind of “sleeping grass”: its leaves fold up when touched, just like closing eyes! The guide told her this plant does this to protect itself from insects. Li Ling took photos of it and planned to show them to her cousin.
Li Ling said this summer let her know more about life and plants, and she’s looking forward to her next holiday.
