In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway. In India, they have a special greeting. They press their palms together, bow, and say, “Namaste.” ②In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries, a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in China, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. ③When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that’s too bad. ④If you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire (夸赞) valuable things too much because your host will feel he should give them to you as presents. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries, or you might just decide to stay at home! But anyway, wherever you go, please remember, you should respect the local customs and try to get used to the life there. 5. Match the title with each paragraph (Paragraph 2—Paragraph 5). a. Eye contact. b. Visiting a family. c. Meeting new friends. d. While talking. e. Shaking hands. f. Table manners. A. B. C. D. 6. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. In Russia, it’s impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway. B. In the USA, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk. C. In India, people eat with their left hand. D. In Arabia, we can admire something valuable a lot in other people’s homes. 7. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了出国旅行时在不同国家应遵守的文化礼仪和社交规范，涉及初次见面的问候方式、交谈时的眼神接触与个人空间、用餐礼仪以及拜访他人家中的注意事项。文章最后建议人们尊重当地习俗，入乡随俗。 【5题详解】 第二段：介绍了在俄罗斯和印度初次见面时的不同问候方式（握手、合掌鞠躬说“Namaste”）→Meeting new friends；第三段：介绍了欧洲和亚洲在眼神接触上的差异，以及中国和美国在交谈距离上的差异→Eye contact或While talking；第四段：介绍了在印度用右手吃饭、在俄罗斯不把空瓶子留在餐桌上的用餐礼仪→Table manners；第五段：介绍了访问阿拉伯家庭时不应对贵重物品过度夸赞→Visiting a family。 【6题详解】 第二段“In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway.”，说明在俄罗斯门口握手是不礼貌的。 【7题详解】 全文列举了不同国家在不同场合下的礼仪规范（俄罗斯、印度、欧洲、亚洲、中国、美国、阿拉伯等），最后一段总结“wherever you go, please remember, you should respect the local customs and try to get used to the life there”，即“入乡随俗”。 【8题详解】 第一段：总起，提出出国旅行应了解不同场合的行为规范（总）；第二、三、四、五段：分别从初次见面、交谈礼仪、用餐礼仪、拜访礼仪四个方面列举各国的具体规范（分）；第六段：总结，呼吁人们尊重当地习俗、入乡随俗（总）。因此结构为总分总，D图符合。 C ①One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top. ②The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. After a long and difficult climb, troubled by heavy snow, freezing wind and the lack of oxygen (缺氧), they finally reached the top. They could only spend about fifteen minutes on the summit before they had to come down. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. ③Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature. 9. According to the passage, when climbing Mount Qomolangma, what difficulties may climbers meet? A. Thin clouds and heavy storms. B. Freezing weather and thick clouds. C. Heavy storms and lack of water. D. Lack of water and thin clouds. 10. What does the underlined word “summit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. top B. side C. foot D. bottom 11. Match each paragraph with the main ideas. Which of the following is TRUE? A. ①-Spirit of climbers; ②-Achievements of climbers; ③-Facts and dangers B. ①-Achievements of climbers; ②-Facts and dangers; ③-Spirit of climbers C. ①-Facts and dangers; ②-Achievements of climbers; ③-Spirit of climbers D. ①-Spirit of climbers; ②-Facts and dangers; ③-Achievements of climbers 12. What does the spirit of climbers tell us? A. Never give up. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. The essence of life is to serve others. D. Many hands make light work. 【答案】9. B 10. A 11. C 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍喜马拉雅山脉中的珠穆朗玛峰，讲述攀登珠峰存在的诸多艰险、人类登顶珠峰的各类成就，以及登山者不畏艰难、永不放弃的攀登精神。 【9题详解】 ①段原文写明：Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms，对应选项B“严寒天气与厚重云层”。 【10题详解】 结合上下文，前文讲述登山者历经艰险爬到此处，后文提到只能停留十五分钟就下山，可判断summit意为山顶，对应选项A top。 【11题详解】 第①段介绍珠峰基本信息与攀登危险（事实与艰险）；第②段列举不同人群登顶珠峰的事迹（登山者的成就）；第③段解读登山者的精神内核，对应选项C。 【12题详解】 文章尾段点明：The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams，核心含义为永不放弃，对应选项A。 D Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied. How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing special? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much happiness from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who read books to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of a man through his art. In the evening, I should go to the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes, as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again...But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. —Adapted from Three Days to See 13. What makes the writer start imagining the three days? A. Seeing natural beauty. B. Walking in the woods. C. Asking herself questions. D. Touching interesting things. 14. What does the writer want to do during the three days? A. Have a wonderful dream every day. B. Go to the movies on the second day. C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Read books to people on the first day. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. A way of living a happy life. B. A description of different senses. C. Encouragement to the blind people. D. Advice to people with sight. 16. Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with? A. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. B. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D. The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. 【答案】13. C 14. B 15. D 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以失明作者的视角展开，通过想象自己拥有三天光明的安排，表达了对光明的渴望、对视觉的珍视，同时也提醒拥有健全感官的人们：要珍惜自己的感官能力，用心去感受生活中的美好，不要对身边的事物视而不见。 【13题详解】 根据第二段中“How was it possible, I asked myself...And I have imagined what I should most like to see...”可知，是作者通过自问（Asking herself questions）引发了对假如拥有三天光明的想象。 【14题详解】 根据第四段“On my second day...In the evening, I should go to the movies.”可知，作者计划在第二天晚上去看电影。选项B符合题意。 【15题详解】 最后一段首句提到“I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see”，随后列举了如何珍惜视力、听力等感官。因此这段主要是作者给视力正常的人们提出建议. 【16题详解】 文章核心思想在于作者建议人们珍惜拥有的感官，“Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind”意在告诉我们要活在当下，感激所拥有的一切。选项C“Live every moment and be thankful for what you have”与此意相符。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Dear Mrs Thompson, I want to thank you for being my teacher.

C. until you talk to him. D. and I did badly in class. E. so that I felt much better. 【答案】17. D 18. A 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一封感谢信，作者Kelly写给Thompson老师，感谢老师帮助自己爱上理科、在亲人离世后耐心陪伴开导自己。 【17题详解】 根据“I used to think that science was boring and difficult.”可知，本句讲述从前对科学的负面印象，D选项“and I did badly in class”承接上文，补充过去科学成绩糟糕，语义连贯。 【18题详解】 根据后文“and slowly, I grew more confident.”可知，此处应填入老师鼓励学生的内容，A选项“You encouraged me and made science lessons fun,”与下文构成顺承关系，语义连贯。 【19题详解】 根据后文“You helped me a lot, especially after my grandmother passed away.”可知，下文开启第二段感恩事迹，B选项“I also want to thank you for being kind to me”起到过渡作用，引出下文事件。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You listened to me and talked with me”可知，前文写老师耐心倾听谈心，E选项“so that I felt much better”是谈心之后产生的结果，贴合语境。 二、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Black clouds were making the sky very dark.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述一场暴风雨来袭导致停电，作者一家在黑暗寒冷中度过一夜，待到风暴减弱后出门采购必需品，回家时电力恢复的经历。 【21题详解】 句意：外面没有光，感觉像午夜。 根据“felt like midnight”，可知外面黑暗没有光，light“光线，光亮”符合语境。wind“风”、storm“暴风雨”、colour“颜色”均不能直接导致像午夜般的黑暗感。 【22题详解】 句意：雨开始重重地敲打窗户。 根据“rain... against the windows”，可知雨点敲打窗户。beat against为固定搭配，表示“连续拍打”，符合语境。push“推”、throw“扔”、pick“捡”不符合雨打窗户的动作描述。 【23题详解】 句意：突然，电灯闪烁几次，然后彻底熄灭。 根据“the light went on and off”，可知停电是突发状况。Suddenly“突然”符合语境。Hardly“几乎不”、Heavily“重重地”、Luckily“幸运地”不符合突发停电的语境。 【24题详解】 句意：第二天早上当我醒来，第一感觉就是卧室十分寒冷，电力还没有恢复。 根据“The next morning”，可知是早晨醒来。woke up“醒来”符合语境。signed up“报名”、sat up“坐起”、locked up“锁上”不符合早晨起床的逻辑。 【25题详解】 句意：望向窗外之后，我感到更加难过：雨依旧下得很大，天空依旧阴沉。 根据“still raining heavily... dark”，可知环境情况变糟，心情也会变得更糟糕。sadder“更难过的”符合语境。quieter“更安静的”、better“更好的”、cleverer“更聪明的”不符合糟糕环境下的情绪反应。 【26题详解】 句意：虽然我们点燃了几根蜡烛，但微弱的光线下依旧很难做事。 根据“it was still difficult”，可知前后为让步关系。根据语境，应用Although引导让步状语从句。However是副词不能直接连接从句；Because表因果；Unless表条件，均不符。 【27题详解】 句意：我阅读有困难。 根据“weak light”，可知光线暗阅读困难。have trouble doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”，符合语境。waste“浪费”、stress“压力”、joke“笑话”均无法构成“做某事有困难”的搭配。 【28题详解】 句意：我开车去寻找一家还在营业的商店。 根据“bought...things”，可知先要找商店。根据语境，寻找目标应用look for。look at“看”、look through“浏览”、look after“照顾”不符合寻找商店的目的。 【29题详解】 句意：我只买了最需要的东西。 根据“bread...water”，可知是生活必需品，停电时买必需品最合理，应用needed。expensive“贵的”、interesting“有趣的”、difficult“难的”，不符合紧急购买必需品的语境。 【30题详解】 句意：在回家路上，电力恢复了，人们感到十分开心。 根据“power came back”，可知停电问题已经解决了，大家心情会变好。joyful“喜悦的”符合语境。nervous“紧张”、mad“生气”、blue“忧郁”，均不符合问题解决后的心情。 第二部分 非选择题（共40分） 三、语篇填空(共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 (A) In many Asian countries, it is normal for people to eat with chopsticks. There are many rules and traditions about how to use chopsticks properly. ____31____, don’t stick your chopsticks into food. That is very bad manners. Secondly, don’t pull dishes close ____32____ you with your chopsticks. Thirdly, don’t point at others with your chopsticks or wave them about when you talk. Lastly, hold your chopsticks ____33____ (correct). Using chopsticks looks easy, but it can actually be a little ____34____ (challenge). The key thing is to keep trying. With plenty of practice, anyone can learn to use chopsticks well! 【答案】31. Firstly 32. to 33. correctly 34. challenging 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了亚洲国家使用筷子的礼仪规范，包括不要将筷子插在食物中、不要用筷子拉近盘子、不要用筷子指人或挥舞，并说明正确握筷子的方法需要通过练习来掌握。 【31题详解】 句意：首先，不要把你的筷子插进食物里。根据后文Secondly（其次）、Thirdly（第三）可知，此处表示列举顺序中的第一点，用Firstly，句首首字母大写。 【32题详解】 句意：其次，不要用你的筷子把盘子拉近你。close to是固定搭配，意为“靠近……”，故填to。 【33题详解】 句意：最后，正确地握住你的筷子。修饰动词hold需要用副词，correct的副词形式是correctly。 【34题详解】 句意：使用筷子看起来容易，但实际上可能有点挑战性。a little后接形容词，challenge的名词形式转换为形容词challenging，意为“具有挑战性的”，且强调“本身难且考验人”，符合题意。 (B) Many people consider Journey to the West to be one of the greatest Chinese classic novels of all time. The story has been the base of many TV dramas, films, and plays. In the story, Tang Sanzang and three other characters are on ____35____ adventure. Wukong is the most powerful of them all, and he uses his powers to stop their ____36____(enemy)attack.However, he was also very naughty at the start of the story. This forced the kind and gentle Tang Sanzang ____37____(punish)him. The second character, Zhu Bajie, is lazy ____38____ kind. And the last character, Sha Wujing, is quiet and hard-working. The four characters experience many difficulties on their journey. Although they have their own ____39____(weak)when they work together, nobody can defeat them! Together, they achieve their final goal and prove ____40____(they)to be a good team. 【答案】35. an 36. enemies’ 37. to punish 38. but 39. weaknesses 40. themselves 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了经典名著《西游记》及其衍生改编作品，逐一介绍唐僧师徒四人的人物性格，讲述四人西行路上历经磨难，凭借团队协作克服难关、完成使命，点明团结协作的重要意义。 【35题详解】 句意：在故事里，唐僧和另外三位角色踏上一场冒险之旅。adventure是以元音音素开头的单数可数名词，固定短语on an adventure意为 “开启一场冒险”，元音音素开头单词前用不定冠词an。 【36题详解】 句意：孙悟空是所有人里本领最强的，他用法力抵挡敌人们的袭击。their指代唐僧师徒四人，enemy先变复数enemies，修饰后面的名词“attack”，需用所有格表所属关系，复数名词词尾有s，直接加’，即enemies’，表示 “敌人们的进攻”。 【37题详解】 句意：但在故事开头他十分顽劣，这迫使善良温和的唐僧惩罚他。固定搭配force sb. to do sth.表示 “迫使某人做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语，因此使用to do不定式结构。 【38题详解】 句意：第二个角色猪八戒很懒惰，但为人善良。lazy（懒惰的）和kind（善良的）是转折对立的两种性格，用连词but连接前后两个形容词。 【39题详解】 句意：虽然他们每个人都有自身的缺点，但当他们并肩协作时，没有人能够打败他们！their own后需要填入名词，师徒四人各自有多处缺点，不止一处，因此变为复数形式weaknesses。 【40题详解】 句意：他们共同完成最终目标，证明了他们自身是一支优秀的队伍。句子主语为they，动作指代主语本身，固定结构prove oneself to be...意为 “证明自己是……”，they对应的反身代词是themselves。 四、阅读与表达(共4小题，41~43小题，每小题2分，44 小题4分;满分10分) 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 The Secret in the Soil Lily, a 14-year-old girl, thought she was bad at everything until she found an old seed (种子) bag in her grandmother’s garden. “Why not try growing plants?” she thought. At first, her plants died quickly. She watered them too much, and her small balcony (阳台) got little sunlight. Feeling sad, Lily almost gave up until her science teacher Ms. Chen noticed her hard work. “Plants need time and care, not just water,” Ms. Chen said gently. She taught Lily to write in a notebook every week: “Water on Tuesday. Check leaves for bugs (虫子). Give plant food once a month.” Lily’s balcony slowly changed into a green corner. She grew tall sunflowers that could turn to face the sun. Her mint (薄荷) plants smelled so fresh she sometimes sniffed (闻) them for fun. In her notebook, she drew pictures and wrote simple notes: “Day 30: My bean plant is as tall as my water bottle! It climbed the stick (木棍) I tied there.” One rainy afternoon, her first tomato turned bright red. When she shared it with her family at dinner, Lily smiled. “Plants grow slowly — they don't try to hurry,” she told herself. “Maybe I don’ need to be perfect all the time, either.” Now when friends say, “You are more confident after you begin gardening.” Lily answers, “Yes! I have also learned a lot from my new hobby. It has taught me to wait and watch. Sometimes it’s okay if things take time.” 41. Why did Lily’s plants die at first? _____________________________________________________________ 42. What plants did Lily grow successfully? List two of them. _____________________________________________________________ 43. What did Lily learn from her new hobby? _____________________________________________________________ 44. What can you learn from Lily? Write 30 words or more. _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. Because she watered them too much, and her small balcony got little sunlight. 42. Sunflowers, mints, beans and tomatoes. 43. She learned to wait and watch. Sometimes it’s okay if things take time. 44. We can learn from Lily that we should be patient in life. Just like plants growing, everything has its own pace. Also, we should accept that we're not always perfect. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了14岁女孩莉莉偶然发现种子袋后尝试种植植物，经历初期失败，在科学老师帮助下掌握方法，成功种出多种植物，还从新爱好中学会耐心、懂得事物有自身节奏并接受不完美的成长故事。 【41题详解】 根据文中第二段“At first, her plants died quickly. She watered them too much, and her small balcony (阳台) got little sunlight.”明确阐述了原因，即浇水过多且阳台阳光少。故填Because she watered them too much, and her small balcony got little sunlight. 【42题详解】 根据文中第三段“She grew tall sunflowers that could turn to face the sun. Her mint (薄荷) plants smelled so fresh...”、第四段“One rainy afternoon, her first tomato turned bright red.”以及笔记本内容“Day 30: My bean plant is as tall as my water bottle!”，可知成功种植的有向日葵、薄荷、豆子、西红柿，任选两种即可。故填Sunflowers, mints, beans and tomatoes. 【43题详解】 根据文中第四段“I have also learned a lot from my new hobby. It has taught me to wait and watch. Sometimes it's okay if things take time.”清晰给出答案。故填She learned to wait and watch. Sometimes it’s okay if things take time. 【44题详解】 题目问从莉莉身上能学到什么，需结合全文，她种植植物的经历体现出耐心、尊重事物发展节奏、接受不完美等，文中第四段“Plants grow slowly — they don’t try to hurry... You are more confident after you begin gardening... It has taught me to wait and watch. Sometimes it's okay if things take time.”可支撑这些感悟。本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。故填We can learn from Lily that we should be patient in life. Just like plants growing, everything has its own pace. Also, we should accept that we're not always perfect. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假如你是李辉，热爱志愿者活动，每周末都会去敬老院看望老人。请根据以下提示，以“Being a Volunteer Is Great”为题，用英语写一篇80词左右的短文描述一下你们班上周日去敬老院的志愿活动，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 提示：1.What did you do as a volunteer? 2.

Being a Volunteer Is Great It’s great to be a volunteer and help others. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案： One possible version: Being a Volunteer Is Great It’s great to be a volunteer and help others. My class went to the old people’s home last Sunday. As soon as we got there, we started to help with some things. First, we cleaned the old people’s rooms.

He lives with his parents and beloved grandpa. One day when he can’t find his grandpa who has magic powers, Laurence teams up with his uncle to find out the truth. ※ Gavin Talks to Birds — by Wayae Abel When 10-year-old Gavin joins a team of superheroes, he finds he has an unusual ability: he can talk to birds. Now a whole world has opened up to him, but can he use his new abilities to help save the birds’ world? ※ Life of Dorothy — by Nelson Arthur After meeting a stranger, Dorothy finds herself in a place with deep mystery. She is now meeting with many strange things, from some sudden accidents to losing her friend’s pet pig. The ups and downs of the story will keep you laughing from beginning to end. ※ The Last of Drumfield — by Gorgeous Morgan It’s about Ella who has got a book from her aunt. When she is reading the book with her good friend, they drop into the book and are taken to a fairytale (童话的) world. And they have to find a way back. 1. Which book is about looking for Grandpa? A. Laurence in Hopeland. B. Gavin Talks to Birds. C. Life of Dorothy. D. The Last of Drumfield. 2. Who can talk to birds? A. Laurence. B. Gavin. C. Dorothy. D. Ella. 3.

She helps save the birds’ world. C. She lives in a fairytale world. D. She experiences an unusual trip. B Many people love traveling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. ①Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without knowing the customs when people first meet. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway. In India, they have a special greeting. They press their palms together, bow, and say, “Namaste.” ②In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries, a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in China, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. ③When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that’s too bad. ④If you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire (夸赞) valuable things too much because your host will feel he should give them to you as presents. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries, or you might just decide to stay at home! But anyway, wherever you go, please remember, you should respect the local customs and try to get used to the life there. 5. Match the title with each paragraph (Paragraph 2—Paragraph 5). a. Eye contact. b. Visiting a family. c. Meeting new friends. d. While talking. e. Shaking hands. f. Table manners. A. B. C. D. 6. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. In Russia, it’s impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway. B. In the USA, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk. C. In India, people eat with their left hand. D. In Arabia, we can admire something valuable a lot in other people’s homes. 7. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C ①One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top. ②The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. After a long and difficult climb, troubled by heavy snow, freezing wind and the lack of oxygen (缺氧), they finally reached the top. They could only spend about fifteen minutes on the summit before they had to come down. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. ③Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature. 9. According to the passage, when climbing Mount Qomolangma, what difficulties may climbers meet? A. Thin clouds and heavy storms. B. Freezing weather and thick clouds. C. Heavy storms and lack of water. D. Lack of water and thin clouds. 10. What does the underlined word “summit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. top B. side C. foot D. bottom 11. Match each paragraph with the main ideas. Which of the following is TRUE? A. ①-Spirit of climbers; ②-Achievements of climbers; ③-Facts and dangers B. ①-Achievements of climbers; ②-Facts and dangers; ③-Spirit of climbers C. ①-Facts and dangers; ②-Achievements of climbers; ③-Spirit of climbers D. ①-Spirit of climbers; ②-Facts and dangers; ③-Achievements of climbers 12. What does the spirit of climbers tell us? A. Never give up. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. The essence of life is to serve others. D. Many hands make light work. D Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied. How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing special? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much happiness from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who read books to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of a man through his art. In the evening, I should go to the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes, as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again...But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. —Adapted from Three Days to See 13. What makes the writer start imagining the three days? A. Seeing natural beauty. B. Walking in the woods. C. Asking herself questions. D. Touching interesting things. 14. What does the writer want to do during the three days? A. Have a wonderful dream every day. B. Go to the movies on the second day. C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Read books to people on the first day. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. A way of living a happy life. B. A description of different senses. C. Encouragement to the blind people. D. Advice to people with sight. 16. Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with? A. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. B. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D. The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Dear Mrs Thompson, I want to thank you for being my teacher.

At first, her plants died quickly. She watered them too much, and her small balcony (阳台) got little sunlight. Feeling sad, Lily almost gave up until her science teacher Ms. Chen noticed her hard work. “Plants need time and care, not just water,” Ms. Chen said gently. She taught Lily to write in a notebook every week: “Water on Tuesday. Check leaves for bugs (虫子). Give plant food once a month.” Lily’s balcony slowly changed into a green corner. She grew tall sunflowers that could turn to face the sun. Her mint (薄荷) plants smelled so fresh she sometimes sniffed (闻) them for fun. In her notebook, she drew pictures and wrote simple notes: “Day 30: My bean plant is as tall as my water bottle! It climbed the stick (木棍) I tied there.” One rainy afternoon, her first tomato turned bright red. When she shared it with her family at dinner, Lily smiled. “Plants grow slowly — they don't try to hurry,” she told herself. “Maybe I don’ need to be perfect all the time, either.” Now when friends say, “You are more confident after you begin gardening.” Lily answers, “Yes! I have also learned a lot from my new hobby. It has taught me to wait and watch. Sometimes it’s okay if things take time.” 41.
