Later, with the invention of paper, folding paper fans became ____4____ during the Ming Dynasty. There are ____5____ beautiful paintings on fans. Some are landscapes. Others are flowers and animals. Moreover, many great people such as Su Shi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, and Tang Yin, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, once ____6____ their masterpieces (杰作) on fans. This made fans not only ____7____ tools in daily life but also valuable artworks. Therefore, with their value of beauty, people took fans as a symbol of status (地位). That’s why in ancient China, emperors and scholars often ____8____ fans in their hands. Today, fans have collecting value and they can be used as gifts. At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, folding fans were given ____9____ to leaders and officials from other countries, as well as the audience. While they were waving fans to keep cool, they were also ____10____ Chinese culture. 1. A. paintings B. gifts C. papers D. fans 2. A. used as B. made in C. made of D. used for 3. A. shapes B. colors C. sizes D. prices 4. A. popular B. expensive C. private D. helpful 5. A. seldom B. hardly C. never D. usually 6. A. read B. spelt C. painted D. printed 7. A. careful B. comfortable C. useful D. educational 8. A. touched B. held C. sold D. repaired 9. A. back B. away C. up D. in 10. A. Imagining B. discovering C. avoiding D. experiencing 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 8. B 9. B 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了扇子的发明历史、制作材料及形状演变，阐述了其从纳凉工具到艺术珍品及文化象征的发展历程。 【1题详解】 句意：但在过去，人们只能使用扇子。 根据前文提到现代用空调和电扇，此处对比过去及后文“Over 4,000 years ago, fans were invented”，可知过去人们用扇子降温。fans表示“扇子”符合语境。其他选项与降温工具语境不符。 【2题详解】 句意：它们由羽毛、竹子和丝绸制成。 根据后文“feathers, bamboo and silk”均为扇子制作原材料，be made of 表示“由……制成（可看出原材料）”，符合搭配逻辑。其他短语无法衔接制作原料。 【3题详解】 句意：它们有不同的形状，大多是圆形和方形。 根据后半句“mostly round and square”，圆形、方形都属于外形范畴。shapes表示“形状”符合语境。其他词汇不能对应圆、方这类描述。 【4题详解】 句意：后来，随着纸的发明，折扇在明朝变得流行。 根据“with the invention of paper” 可知纸张的出现推动折扇普及。popular表示“流行的”符合历史逻辑。其他词汇代入句子语义不通。 【5题详解】 句意：扇子上通常有漂亮的画。 根据后文“Some are landscapes. Others are flowers and animals”，扇面作画是普遍现象，usually表示“通常”符合文意。其余选项均为否定含义，和后文内容冲突。 【6题详解】 句意：此外，很多名家，比如宋代诗人苏轼、明代画家唐寅，都曾在扇面上绘制他们的传世佳作。 根据后文“their masterpieces”指代书画作品，painted表示“绘画”，匹配文人在扇面创作的背景。其他动词和书画创作场景不匹配。 【7题详解】 句意：这使得扇子不仅是日常生活中有用的工具，也是珍贵的艺术品。 根据“日常工具的功能属性”，可知强调其实用性。useful表示“有用的”修饰“tools”。其余形容词无法形容工具的基础属性。 【8题详解】 句意：这就是为什么在中国古代，皇帝和学者经常手里拿着扇子。 根据后文“fans in their hands”，held表示“手握、拿着”，契合古人随身持扇的画面。其他动词不符合“拿在手中”的语境。 【9题详解】 句意：在2008年北京奥运会开幕式上，折扇被赠送给其他国家的领导人和官员以及观众。 根据短语固定搭配give away意为“赠送”，贴合奥运会向嘉宾赠送礼品的场景。其他介词构成的短语无“赠送”含义。 【10题详解】 句意：当他们摇着扇子降温时，也在体验中国文化。 根据前文外宾收到折扇作为礼物，亲身接触传统器物，experiencing表示“体验、感受”符合行为逻辑。其余词汇代入句子语义矛盾。 二、阅读理解（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分） A If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what would you say? It can be difficult to be self-aware (自我认知的). But knowing who you are can help you so much. Self-awareness is an ability to see yourself clearly. You may know that you love playing an instrument because you’re good at it, and music makes you happy. Or you know you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. And it also means understanding how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour can influence other people. Knowing what you like, dislike and more about yourself allows you to be wise about friendship, schoolwork and social life. It helps build confidence. Being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding of other people, too. A good way to learn about anything is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. If you’re wondering whether you like a book, ask yourself what the last three books you loved were and what you liked about them. To recognize your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, and this means you learn it as you grow. So don’t be afraid of taking risks. And encourage yourself to try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Learn more about yourself and bring out the best in you. 11. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The way to be self-aware. B. The meaning of self-awareness. C. The influence of self-awareness. D. The importance of being self-aware. 12. Which question should you ask yourself if you argue with friends? A. Why does he or she argue with me? B. How can I get on well with him or her? C. What makes us disagree with each other? D. When did I argue with him or her last time? 13. What does the underlined word “recognize” mean? A. Change. B. Discuss. C. Express. D. Discover 14. Which of the following would the writer agree? A. Self-awareness is a inborn ability ability. B. Try out new things without thinking about risks. C. Think of yourself before thinking of others. D. Self-awareness helps you understand others. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Following Your Heart B. Getting to Know Yourself C. Getting Ready for the Future D. Being Brave to Try New Things 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了自我认知是一种清楚看到自己的能力，并介绍了学会自我认知的方式。 【11题详解】 第二段首句“Self-awareness is an ability to see yourself clearly.”直接给出了自我认知的定义，随后通过举例进一步阐释其内涵，因此本段主要讲述自我认知的含义。 【12题详解】 根据第四段中“So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing.”可知，当与朋友争吵时，应问自己分歧是什么（what），而不是为什么（why）。 【13题详解】 根据划线词所在句“To recognize your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself.”可知，了解自己的好恶是认识自己的好方法。结合语境，recognize 在此处意为“识别、发现”，与 Discover 意思相近。 【14题详解】 根据第三段最后一句“By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding of other people, too.”可知，作者认为通过理解自己的感受，也能更好地理解他人。 【15题详解】 通读全文可知，文章围绕“自我认知”展开，介绍了其定义、重要性以及培养方法，核心主题是倡导人们去了解自己。选项 B“了解自己”最契合文章主旨。 B In 1998, Kevin Warwick, who can’t use his arm like a normal (正常的) person, put a small microchip (微芯片) in his left arm. He used the microchip to turn on lights, work with his computer, and even start the water for his bath. After only nine days, Warwick took the microchip out of his arm. Warwick’s story told the world that it’s possible (可能) to have a microchip in your body. However, people have different opinions about it. Many people think that we’ll all have microchips one day. There are all kinds of things that a microchip could do. It could be useful for simple things. You might not need paper money, because you could use your microchip to buy things. A microchip might be able to do more important things. If you fell ill suddenly and went to the hospital, doctors could read your microchip and learn all of your health history. Many people dislike the idea of a microchip in their body. They have a lot of worries. Is it safe? Could a microchip make you sick? People are also worried about personal freedom (自由). This is probably the biggest reason why so many people don’t agree (同意) with the idea of the microchip. Nobody has microchips in their body yet. 16. What did Warwick do with the help of a microchip? a. Open doors. b. Turn on the water. c. Work with his computer. d. Turn on lights. A. abc B. bcd C. abd D. acd 17. Why does the writer write about Warwick’s story? A. To tell us something about his accident. B. To show he was really hard-working and he never gave up. C. To show us that it’s possible to put a microchip in your body. D. To tell us how Warwick made the microchip. 18. Which statement is TRUE according to the text? A. The microchip was put in Warwick’s head. B. The microchip will make the doctor’s job easier. C. The microchip was in Warwick’s body for nine months. D. Everyone thinks the microchip is a good idea. 19. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Microchips in the body make people’s lives better. B. People’s different ideas on microchips. C. People hope to put Microchips in the body now. D. People don’t want to put microchips in the body. 20. In which part of a website (网站) can we read the text? A. Science. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Culture 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，借助凯文·沃里克手臂植入微芯片的真实试验案例，分别梳理大众支持、反对体内植入微芯片的两类看法，分析这项新兴科技的实用价值与潜藏隐患，展现大众对此技术的分歧观点。 【16题详解】 原文第一段“ He used the microchip to turn on lights, work with his computer, and even start the water for his bath.”，可实现开灯、操控电脑、放洗澡水三件事，开门不在列举范围内，对应选项bcd。 【17题详解】 第一段尾句直接给出案例用意“Warwick’s story told the world that it’s possible to have a microchip in your body.”，故事用来佐证人体植入微芯片具备可行性，文段没有事故经历、人物品格、芯片制作相关内容。 【18题详解】 A芯片被放进左臂而非头部，表述错误；B就医时医生读取芯片能调取完整健康档案，降低问诊难度，能简化医生工作，表述正确；C芯片仅在手臂留存九天，不是九个月，表述错误；D不同民众持有正反两类态度，并非所有人都认可芯片植入，表述错误。 【19题详解】 最后一段集中罗列大众抗拒体内植入芯片的多重顾虑：安全风险、身体健康隐患、个人自由受侵犯，整体围绕人们不接受身体植入芯片的原因展开，仅聚焦反对立场。 【20题详解】 正文围绕人体植入微芯片这类前沿科技话题展开，适配网站科学板块；文章不围绕健康科普、出行游玩、风俗文化进行叙述。 C Fred was a poor man who lived alone in a small village. He was lazy so he didn’t want to find a job. He had no friends or relatives. He used to beg for food for his living. One day, a kind man gave Fred a large bowl of rice. Fred didn’t eat up the rice in one go. He put the remaining (剩余的) rice on the table. He lay on his bed and kept an eye on it. After a while, Fred fell asleep and had a dream. He dreamed that there was a famine (饥荒) in his village. He sold his remaining rice and got some money. He used the money to buy a pair of goats (山羊). His goats had kids in months, so he got more goats. He sold some goats and became rich. He bought a large house. He fell in love with a beautiful lady and they got married. Fred dreamed that he was dancing with his wife. He felt so excited that he kicked in the air and his leg hit the bowl on the table. The bowl with rice dropped and broke into pieces. The noise woke him up. At once, Fred realized that he had been dreaming. He also realized that he could get nothing if he didn’t make a change. Then he decided to get rid of his laziness. Soon he found a job and worked hard. 21. How did Fred get some money in his dream? A. By selling his goats. B. By selling the remaining rice. C. By selling his bowl. D. By selling his house. 22.

A 24. D 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了弗雷德因为懒惰，生活过得十分贫困潦倒，靠乞讨为生，一天，弗雷德梦到自己勤劳致富了，靠自己的努力过上了幸福的生活，也因为这个梦，弗雷德打算改变自己懒惰的习性，认真工作。 【21题详解】 根据文章第二段中“He sold his remaining rice and got some money.”可知，在梦中弗雷德是通过卖掉剩余的米获得了一些钱。 【22题详解】 根据文章第三段中“Fred dreamed that he was dancing with his wife. He felt so excited that he kicked in the air…”可知，当弗雷德梦见正在和妻子跳舞时，兴奋得踢向了空中。 【23题详解】 根据上下文“He also realized that he could get nothing if he didn’t make a change. Then he decided to get rid of his laziness.”可知，弗雷德意识到必须做出改变，决定“摆脱”懒惰。选项A“get out of”意为“摆脱，逃避”，与get rid of含义最接近。 【24题详解】 根据文章第三段“The bowl with rice dropped and broke into pieces. The noise woke him up.”可知，碗掉下来摔碎了，噪音吵醒了弗雷德。 【25题详解】 通读全文可知，弗雷德因梦醒悟，明白不改变懒惰将一无所获，于是努力工作。故事告诉我们不努力就无法获得收获。 第II卷（非选择题） 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on the radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 26. Why do some people say reading is not as important as it was? ________________________________________________________________________________ 27. What can photographs give people? ________________________________________________________________________________ 28. What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? ________________________________________________________________________________ 29. What does the writer think of watching news on television? ________________________________________________________________________________ 30. What will you do to practice reading? ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】26. Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 27. They can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 28. Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently. 29. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting, but we need newspapers as well. 30. I will read at least a little every day to practice reading. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了阅读在当今社会的重要性，通过对比阅读与照片、电影、电视等媒体的区别，论证了阅读不可替代的优势，并鼓励人们养成每日阅读的习惯。 【26题详解】 根据文章第1段“Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television.”可推知有些人认为阅读不重要是因为现代媒体的出现。 【27题详解】 根据文章第2段“Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen.”可推知照片能给人们提供陌生地点和人的清晰印象。 【28题详解】 根据文章第3段“But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.”可推知小说的优势在于需要读者发挥想象力且想象内容各异。 【29题详解】 根据文章第4段“Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well.”可推知作者认为电视新闻虽令人兴奋但不能取代报纸。 【30题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，结合自己的想法，言之有理即可。 四、短文填空（共15小题，每小题1分，计15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 As a university student, I decided to learn German. I ____31____ (real) liked the language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar troubled me a lot and even ____32____ (drive) me crazy. My only advantage (优势) was listening—I always got ____33____ “A”. After two years of studying, I tried to communicate in broken German and signed up to study in ____34____ (German) to complete my degree. It was the ____35____ (hard) term I had ever had. As soon as I arrived in Germany, I felt ____36____ I was starting from the beginning. The German I’d learned at university wasn’t ____37____ (use) for everyday conversations. I was often nervous at school and I was afraid of my ____38____ (teach). They always ____39____ (ask) me some questions that I didn’t understand. I only relaxed a little around my eight roommates, who were willing ____40____ (speak) German slowly to me and didn’t seem to mind my mistakes. I chose to study three ____41____ (course) and the history class was the worst among them. The teacher spoke ____42____ quickly that almost everything he said went right over my head. I sat ____43____ the front, took notes and even recorded every word he said in class, but nothing helped. Years ____44____ (pass) since then, but I still remember how I felt at that time. That was a different but meaningful experience. I think my failure that term taught ____45____ (I) just as much as my success. 【答案】31. really 32. drove 33. an 34. Germany 35. hardest 36. like 37. useful 38. teachers 39. asked 40. to speak 41. courses 42. so 43. in 44. have passed 45. me 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者大学学习德语，前往德国留学的艰难经历，虽然那段学习过程充满困难，但这段失败的经历带给作者很多收获。 【31题详解】 句意：我真的很喜欢这门语言，但我并不擅长学习它。空后是动词liked，需要副词修饰；形容词real的副词形式为really，作状语修饰动词。 【32题详解】 句意：语法给我带来很大困扰，甚至快把我逼疯了。全文主体为过去时态，and连接并列谓语，前面troubled为过去式，drive也要用过去式drove。 【33题详解】 句意：我唯一的优势是听力，我总能拿A。字母A 发音以元音音素开头，表示“一个A”，用不定冠词an。 【34题详解】 句意：学习两年后，我试着用蹩脚的德语交流，并报名去德国留学完成学位。in后接地点，German表示“德语/德国人”，Germany才是国家“德国”。 【35题详解】 句意：那是我经历过最难的一个学期。后文“I had ever had...”限定了范围，且空前有定冠词the，形容词hard应使用最高级hardest。 【36题详解】 句意：我刚到德国，感觉好像一切都要从头学起。felt为系动词，后面跟宾语从句；like此处作连词，含义是“仿佛、好像”，用于描述主观感受，表达内心觉得某种情景仿佛发生。 【37题详解】 句意：我在大学里学的德语对日常对话没什么用处。wasn’t为系动词，后接形容词作表语；use的形容词形式useful表示“有用的”。 【38题详解】 句意：在学校我经常紧张，害怕我的老师们。后文代词They指代空格单词，说明是复数，teach表示“老师”为teacher，复数为teachers。 【39题详解】 句意：他们总是问我一些我听不懂的问题。文章叙述过去留学的经历，通篇过去时态，ask改为过去式asked。 【40题详解】 句意：只有和八个室友在一起我才放松一点，他们愿意放慢语速和我说德语，似乎不介意我的错误。固定短语be willing to do sth.意为“愿意做某事”，to后接动词原形。 【41题详解】 句意：我选了三门课程，历史课是其中最难熬的。three后接可数名词复数，course复数形式为courses。 【42题详解】 句意：老师说话太快，他讲的几乎所有内容我都听不懂。“so + 副词 + that从句”表示“如此……以至于……”，quickly是副词，用so修饰。 【43题详解】 句意：我坐在前排、做笔记，甚至录下他课上说的每一句话，但都无济于事。固定搭配“in the front”表示“在（教室内部）前排”。 【44题详解】 句意：从那以后很多年过去了，但我依然记得当时的感受。since then是现在完成时标志，主语Years是复数，助动词用have，pass变为过去分词passed。 【45题详解】 句意：我认为那个学期的失败教会我的东西和成功带给我的一样多。taught是动词，动词后用人称代词宾格，I的宾格形式是me。 五、补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，计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: Hello! Steve. Long time no see. _________46_________ B: I went to London to live with my parents three years ago. A: Wow! You have changed a lot. _________47_________ B: Yes, you are right.

Thank you. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了A和B久别重逢，两人谈论了彼此的去向、近几年的外貌变化以及现在的运动爱好，并约好下午一起去打篮球的对话。 【46题详解】 根据下文B回答“I went to London to live with my parents three years ago.”可知，此处A是在询问对方这三年去了哪里。故填“Where have you been these three years?”符合语境。 【47题详解】 根据上文A说“You have changed a lot.”以及下文B回答“Yes, you are right. I used to be short.”可知，此处A是具体指出了B以前矮但现在长高了的反差变化。故填“You used to be short, but now you are tall.”符合语境。 【48题详解】 根据上文B询问“Do you still like playing soccer?”以及下文A补充说“I don’t like playing it any more.”可知，此处A需要先针对一般疑问句给出一个否定的简略回答。故填“No, I don’t.”符合语境。 【49题详解】 根据下文A回答“Sure.

But knowing who you are can help you so much. Self-awareness is an ability to see yourself clearly. You may know that you love playing an instrument because you’re good at it, and music makes you happy. Or you know you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. And it also means understanding how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour can influence other people. Knowing what you like, dislike and more about yourself allows you to be wise about friendship, schoolwork and social life. It helps build confidence. Being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding of other people, too. A good way to learn about anything is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. If you’re wondering whether you like a book, ask yourself what the last three books you loved were and what you liked about them. To recognize your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, and this means you learn it as you grow. So don’t be afraid of taking risks. And encourage yourself to try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Learn more about yourself and bring out the best in you. 11. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The way to be self-aware. B. The meaning of self-awareness. C. The influence of self-awareness.

That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on the radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 26.
