She greeted her neighbors, including a cactus (仙人掌), an apple tree and other plants. Then, she said to the cactus, “I’m the most beautiful flower here, but you are full of thorns and so ugly!” Day after day, the rose never stopped being unkind to the cactus. The cactus, however, never got sad or angry. Instead, he always calmly said, “All lives have meaning.” As summer came, it was hot and dry. The rose began to weaken, but the cactus grew well. He had a wide root system and was good at storing water in his body. One day, the rose saw a bird make a small hole in the cactus with its beak (喙). The thirsty bird drank the water inside the cactus through the hole. “It must hurt,” said the rose. “Yes,” the apple tree said, “but the cactus doesn’t want to see his bird friend in trouble.” The rose was so thirsty that she asked the cactus for water. He kindly agreed. The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose’s roots. The rose was quite sorry for what she had said to the cactus in the past. From then on, she understood that a kind heart is far more important than a good look. 26. How did the cactus feel about the rose’s words? A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Calm. D. Amazed. 27. How did the rose get the water finally? A. She stored the water in her roots. B. She drank water from the hole in the cactus. C. The apple tree helped her get water from the cactus. D.

Instead, he always calmly said...”可知，仙人掌对玫瑰的话保持冷静。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose’s roots.”可知，玫瑰是通过鸟用嘴取水浇灌她的根而得到水的。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“she understood that a kind heart is far more important than a good look.”可知，玫瑰明白了善良的心比美丽的外表更重要。故选B。 B Do you really know clearly about your personalities (性格)?

It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than half the size of China! The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear. ▲ The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. It is necessary to save the Amazon Rainforest. And it’s not just because it’s beautiful. It also plays a key role in keeping the earth healthy and helping our planet. So, saving the Amazon Rainforest means saving people too. 36. What can we know about the Amazon Rainforest from paragraph1? ①Its size. ②Its location. ③Its width. ④Its height. A. ②③④. B. ①②③. C. ①②④. D. ①③④. 37. What makes the Amazon Rainforest “sick”? A. Climate change and human activities. B. Three droughts and forest fires. C. Farmland and animals. D. Hot and dry weather. 38. Which is the best subtitle for ▲ ? A. What is the Amazon Rainforest like now? B. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest? C. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? D. What’s in the Amazon Rainforest? 39. Which word best describes the writer’s feeling about the Amazon Rainforest? A. Patient. B. Relaxed. C. Disappointed. D. Worried. 40. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this text? A. To show the value of the Amazon Rainforest. B. To introduce the importance of the Amazon Rainforest. C. To call on people to save the Amazon Rainforest. D. To tell about what happened to the Amazon Rainforest. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍亚马逊雨林概况、患病原因，阐述消失带来的危害，呼吁人们保护雨林。 【36题详解】 第一段提到：“The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s biggest rainforest. It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than the half size of China!”，说明本段介绍了亚马逊雨林的位置、面积大小、幅员宽度，未提及高度。 【37题详解】 第二段提到：“climate change and human activities make it ‘sick’”，说明气候变化和人类活动使其变得“生病”。 【38题详解】 空格后两段的内容围绕亚马逊雨林消失会引发的全球变热、物种灭绝等后果展开，因此此处小标题符合后两段段落核心大意，即雨林消失带来的严重后果。 【39题详解】 全文多处提及雨林干旱、起火、树木死亡、或将变成干草原、大量物种会灭绝等危机，且最后一段“It is necessary to save the Amazon Rainforest...So, saving the Amazon Rainforest means saving people too.”呼吁拯救雨林，能看出作者担忧的心情，worried符合情感。 【40题详解】 最后一段点明主旨，指出亚马逊雨林对地球和人类至关重要，呼吁人类行动起来保护雨林，这就是作者的核心写作目的。 第二节 阅读表达 （共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Many people like the idea of having a bird as a pet. Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months. While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one! 41. What should people do before buying a bird as a pet? ________________ 42. How will the birds feel if they stay alone all day? ________________ 43. What would the pet birds need besides friends? ________________ 44. How many years can some birds live up to? ________________ 45. Do you want to keep a pet bird? Why or why not? ________________ 【答案】41. Think carefully. 42. They wouldn’t feel fun. 43. A lot of care. 44. 20 years or more. 45. No, I don’t. Because they need too much care and I don’t have enough time. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了养鸟作为宠物需要考虑的因素，包括鸟类的社交需求、时间投入和寿命等，提醒人们在养鸟前要慎重思考。 【41题详解】 根据“But before you buy one, think carefully!”可知，在买鸟作为宠物之前，应该仔细考虑。故填Think carefully. 【42题详解】 根据“If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun.”可知，如果鸟整天独自待着，没有人说话，它们会感到无趣。故填They wouldn’t feel fun. 【43题详解】 根据“Birds need a lot of care”可知，宠物鸟除了需要朋友外，还需要大量的照顾。故填A lot of care. 【44题详解】 根据“Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more.”可知，有些鸟可以活20年或更久。故填20 years or more. 【45题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一。结合自身情况，说明是否想养宠物鸟并阐述理由即可。故填No, I don’t. Because they need too much care and I don’t have enough time. 第四部分 情景交际 （满分10分） 补全对话 （共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据下面的对话情景、在空白处填入一个适当的句子、使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Hi, Lisa!

She greeted her neighbors, including a cactus (仙人掌), an apple tree and other plants. Then, she said to the cactus, “I’m the most beautiful flower here, but you are full of thorns and so ugly!” Day after day, the rose never stopped being unkind to the cactus. The cactus, however, never got sad or angry. Instead, he always calmly said, “All lives have meaning.” As summer came, it was hot and dry. The rose began to weaken, but the cactus grew well. He had a wide root system and was good at storing water in his body. One day, the rose saw a bird make a small hole in the cactus with its beak (喙). The thirsty bird drank the water inside the cactus through the hole. “It must hurt,” said the rose. “Yes,” the apple tree said, “but the cactus doesn’t want to see his bird friend in trouble.” The rose was so thirsty that she asked the cactus for water. He kindly agreed. The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose’s roots. The rose was quite sorry for what she had said to the cactus in the past. From then on, she understood that a kind heart is far more important than a good look. 26. How did the cactus feel about the rose’s words? A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Calm. D. Amazed. 27. How did the rose get the water finally? A. She stored the water in her roots. B. She drank water from the hole in the cactus. C. The apple tree helped her get water from the cactus. D. The bird watered her by filling its beak with water. 28. What did the rose learn from the experience? A. She was the most beautiful in the forest. B. A kind heart is more important than a good look.

The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear. ▲ The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. It is necessary to save the Amazon Rainforest. And it’s not just because it’s beautiful. It also plays a key role in keeping the earth healthy and helping our planet. So, saving the Amazon Rainforest means saving people too. 36. What can we know about the Amazon Rainforest from paragraph1? ①Its size. ②Its location. ③Its width. ④Its height. A. ②③④. B. ①②③. C. ①②④. D. ①③④. 37. What makes the Amazon Rainforest “sick”? A. Climate change and human activities. B. Three droughts and forest fires. C. Farmland and animals. D. Hot and dry weather. 38. Which is the best subtitle for ▲ ? A. What is the Amazon Rainforest like now? B. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest? C. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? D. What’s in the Amazon Rainforest? 39. Which word best describes the writer’s feeling about the Amazon Rainforest? A. Patient. B. Relaxed. C. Disappointed. D. Worried. 40. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this text? A. To show the value of the Amazon Rainforest. B. To introduce the importance of the Amazon Rainforest. C. To call on people to save the Amazon Rainforest. D. To tell about what happened to the Amazon Rainforest. 第二节 阅读表达 （共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Many people like the idea of having a bird as a pet. Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months. While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one! 41. What should people do before buying a bird as a pet? ________________ 42. How will the birds feel if they stay alone all day? ________________ 43. What would the pet birds need besides friends? ________________ 44.
