The Amazing Migration of Monarch Butterflies
Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies begin a long and amazing journey. They travel thousands of kilometers from Canada and the northern United States all the way to Mexico. This is called migration.
The journey is not easy. The butterflies fly about 80 kilometers each day. They have to cross rivers, mountains and even cities. The whole trip takes about two months. What makes this migration even more surprising is that no single butterfly makes the full round trip. The butterflies that arrive in Mexico are the great-great-grandchildren of the ones that left the year before.
Why do they do it? Monarch butterflies cannot live in cold weather. If they stay in the north during winter, they will freeze to death. In Mexico, the weather is warm all year, and they can rest in the mountain forests. Millions of butterflies gather on the trees there, creating a beautiful orange and black sight.
In spring, the butterflies start the long journey back north. Along the way, they stop to lay eggs on milkweed plants. The new butterflies hatch and continue the journey north. It takes four generations of butterflies to complete the full cycle.
Scientists are worried about monarch butterflies these days. Their numbers are dropping because people are cutting down the forests in Mexico and using chemicals that kill milkweed plants. We need to protect these beautiful creatures before it’s too late.
31. How far do monarch butterflies travel during migration?
A. About 80 kilometers. B. About 800 kilometers.
C. Thousands of kilometers. D. Millions of kilometers.
32. Why is the migration so surprising?
A. The butterflies fly very fast. B. No single butterfly finishes the whole trip.
C. The butterflies travel alone. D. The trip takes only one week.
33. Why do monarch butterflies fly to Mexico?
A. To find more food. B. To lay their eggs there.
C. To avoid the cold winter. D. To meet other butterflies.
34. What does the underlined word “generations” mean in Chinese?
A. 年代 B. 代/辈 C. 数量 D. 种类
35. What is making the number of monarch butterflies smaller?
A. Cold weather in Mexico. B. Too many milkweed plants.
C. People protecting the forests. D. Loss of forests and milkweed plants.

How to Start a Bird Garden
Would you like to wake up to the sound of singing birds every morning? You can make this come true by creating a bird garden in your backyard. It’s easier than you think!
First, you need to provide food for the birds. Different birds like different kinds of seeds. Sunflower seeds are popular with most birds. You can put them in a bird feeder and hang it from a tree. Make sure you clean the feeder regularly to keep the birds healthy. Fruit trees and berry bushes are also great because they provide natural food.
Second, birds need water. A simple birdbath will work perfectly. Change the water every few days to keep it clean. In winter, you might need to use a heated birdbath so the water doesn’t freeze. Birds love to bathe and drink fresh water, so this will attract many visitors.
Third, birds need places to build their nests and hide from danger. Planting trees and tall bushes gives birds shelter. You can also put up birdhouses. Different birds like different sizes of houses, so do some research first.
Finally, try not to use chemicals in your garden. They can make the birds sick. Instead, use natural ways to keep pests away.
Watching birds in your garden is a wonderful hobby. You will be surprised how many different kinds of birds come to visit. Keep a notebook and write down which birds you see. You might even spot some rare ones!
36. What is the first thing you need for a bird garden?
A. Water. B. Food. C. Shelter. D. Birdhouses.
37. Why should you clean the bird feeder regularly?
A. To make it look nice. B. To keep the birds healthy.
C. To attract more birds. D. To make the seeds last longer.
38. What do you need to do with the birdbath in winter?
A. Empty it every day. B. Use a heated one.
C. Move it inside. D. Fill it with seeds.
39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something birds need?

一、单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
请认真阅读下面三篇短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The City Library is a wonderful place to spend your free time. It ____1____ at 9 o’clock in the morning and closes at 8 o’clock in the evening.

There is also a quiet reading room ____4____ you can study without noise. Many students go there ____5____ their homework on weekends.
1. A. open B. opens C. opened D. opening
2. A. include B. includes C. including D. included
3. A. If B. Because C. Though D. Before
4. A. who B. where C. which D. what
5. A. do B. does C. doing D. to do
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍城市图书馆的开放时间、藏书种类、工作人员服务、安静阅览区以及学生周末到此写作业的用途。
【1题详解】
句意:它早上9点开放,晚上8点关闭。
根据后文并列动词“closes”,主语“It”为第三人称单数,本句介绍图书馆常规营业时间,为一般现在时。 应用opens。 open“打开”是动词原形,主语“It”为三单不能直接使用;opened“打开”是过去式,本文介绍常态不用过去时;opening“打开”是非谓语,无法单独作谓语,均不符。
【2题详解】
句意:你可以在那里找到各种各样的书,包括故事书、科学书和历史书。
空前后为完整主句 + 列举书籍名称,空格处需要介词引出举例内容。 应用including,是介词,意为“包括”,后直接接列举的名词,符合句子结构。include“包括”、includes“包括”均为谓语动词,本句已有主句谓语,不能再连用动词;included“包括”是过去分词,无介词举例用法,均不成立。
【3题详解】
句意:如果你需要帮助找书,图书管理员随时准备帮忙。
后半句“管理员愿意帮忙”是前半句“你需要找书帮助”的前提条件,存在条件逻辑关系。 应用If,引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”,贴合条件逻辑。Because“因为”表因果、Though“虽然”表让步、Before“在……之前”表时间先后,三者逻辑和“需要帮助就提供服务”的语境不匹配。
【4题详解】
句意:还有一个安静的阅览室,在那里你可以没有噪音地学习。
先行词“a quiet reading room”是地点名词,定语从句主谓完整,空格缺少地点状语。 应用where,关系副词,指代地点,在从句中充当地点状语。who“谁”先行词只能是人;which“哪一个”在从句中充当主语或宾语,本句不缺主宾;what“什么”不能引导定语从句,均排除。
【5题详解】
句意:许多学生周末去那里做作业。
句子已有谓语动词“go there”,空格后为去图书馆的行动目的,需非谓语表目的。 应用to do,动词不定式作目的状语,表达“前往此处是为了完成作业”。do“做”、does“做”是谓语动词,本句已有谓语,不能连用;doing“做”多作伴随状语,无法表达目的含义,不合语境。
B
Zhangjiajie is a beautiful natural wonder in Hunan Province. It ____6____ famous for its tall mountains and clear streams. Every year, thousands of ____7____ come to visit this magical place. You can walk along the paths and ____8____ the fresh air and beautiful views. If you are brave enough, you can try the glass bridge ____9____ the two mountains. It is 300 meters above the ground and ____10____ really exciting.
6. A. is B. are C. was D. were
7. A. visitor B. visitors C. visiting D. visited
8. A. enjoy B. enjoys C. enjoying D. enjoyed
9. A. among B. between C. beside D. behind
10. A. smells B. sounds C. tastes D. feels
【答案】6. A 7. B 8. A 9. B 10. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了张家界这一个美丽的自然奇观。
【6题详解】
句意:它是因高山和清澈的溪流而闻名。
主语It为第三人称单数,描述客观事实用一般现在时is。其他选项时态和数不正确。
【7题详解】
句意:每年成千上万的游客来参观这个神奇的地方。
thousands of“成千上万”,后接可数名词复数形式visitors。visitor单数、visiting是动名词、visited过去式,都不正确。
【8题详解】
句意:你可以沿着小路走并享受新鲜空气和美景。
情态动词“can”后接动词原形,and连接并列谓语walk和enjoy。其他选项不是动词原形。
【9题详解】
句意:如果你足够勇敢,可以尝试两座山之间的玻璃桥。
“the two mountains”明确表示两者之间,应用between。among在……之中(三者及以上);beside在……旁边;behind在……后面都不符合。
【10题详解】
句意:它离地300米,感觉真的很刺激。
根据“you can try the glass bridge...the two mountains.”可知,走在高空玻璃桥上的体验属于触觉或心理感觉,因此是feels。其他选项不符合。
C
Nowadays, more and more people are interested in keeping houseplants. Plants not only make our homes look ____11____, but also help clean the air. However, ____12____ plants healthy is not always easy. Different plants need different amounts of water and sunlight. Some plants love bright light ____13____ others prefer shady corners. You should also remember to water them regularly, but don’t give them ____14____ water. With a little care and patience, your plants will grow ____15____ and bring you joy for a long time.
11. A. nice B. nicely C. beautiful D. beautifully
12. A. keep B. keeps C. keeping D. kept
13. A. while B. so C. or D. for
14. A. too many B. too much C. much too D. many too
15. A. good B. better C. well D. best
【答案】11. C 12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要讲述如今很多人喜爱养室内绿植,绿植既能美化家居又能净化空气,但养好绿植并不简单,文中介绍了光照、浇水两方面养护要点,细心照料就能让植物长久繁茂、带来愉悦。
【11题详解】
句意:植物不仅能让我们的家看起来美观,还能帮助净化空气。
look属于系动词,后面需要搭配形容词作表语,因此副词nicely“美好地”、beautifully“漂亮地”不适用;结合上文养绿植装饰居家环境,beautiful“漂亮美观的”侧重景物外观好看,契合美化房屋的语境,nice“宜人的”多用来形容人的感受,不符合此处描述房屋外观的内容。
【12题详解】
句意:然而,保持植物健康并不总是一件容易的事。
本句空格处在句子开头作主语,结合后文介绍各类养护植物的方法,动名词keeping可充当句子主语;keep“保持”动词原形、keeps动词三单形式无法单独作主语,kept过去分词带有被动含义,和人主动养护植物的上下文不符。
【13题详解】
句意:有些植物喜爱强光,而另一些偏爱阴凉角落。
上文提到不同植物所需光照不同,本句“love bright light”和“prefer shady corners”是两种植物截然相反的光照喜好,while“然而”用于对比两种不同情况;so“因此”表因果、or“或者”表选择、for“因为”表原因,均无法承接前后对比的上下文逻辑。
【14题详解】
句意:你也要记得定期浇水,但不要给它们浇太多水。
本句围绕浇水养护展开,water此处是不可数名词,too much用来修饰不可数名词,表示“太多”;too many只能修饰可数名词复数,much too用来修饰形容词或副词,many too不存在这种搭配,均和后文不可数名词water不匹配。
【15题详解】
句意:只要稍加细心与耐心,你的植物就会长势旺盛,长久为你带来愉悦。
空格前grow是实义动词,需要副词来修饰;well“良好地”是副词,适配生长的语境;good“好的”为形容词,不能修饰动词;better“更好地”、best“最好地” 是比较级和最高级,全文没有出现两种及以上植物生长情况的对比,无需使用比较等级。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了松鼠的生活习性、身体特征、觅食行为,并呼吁人类不要过度喂食,应通过保护自然家园来帮助它们。
【16题详解】
句意:松鼠是非常活跃的动物。
根据后文“They can jump from tree to tree with great skill”(它们能熟练地在树间跳跃),可知松鼠很好动,active“活跃的”符合语境。其他选项不符合跳跃技能高的语境。
【17题详解】
句意:它们的尾巴帮助它们在跳跃时保持平衡,并在冬季保暖。
根据“balance”(平衡)及常识,尾巴的作用是“维持”平衡,keep“保持”符合语境。
【18题详解】
句意:在秋天,松鼠非常忙碌。
根据后文“They collect as many nuts as they can”(它们尽可能多地收集坚果),可知它们很忙,busy“忙碌的”符合语境。其他选项与收集行为矛盾。
【19题详解】
句意:它们在寒冷的冬季储存这些坚果,以备不时之需。
根据“during the cold winter months when food is hard to find”(在食物难找的寒冬),可知是为了“储备”食物,save“保存/储存”符合语境。其他选项不符合生存逻辑。
【20题详解】
句意:有时它们忘记把坚果放在哪里了,而这些坚果可能在春天长成新的树木。
根据后文“those nuts may grow into new trees”(那些坚果可能长成新树),可知是因为没吃掉才发芽,即忘记了,forget“忘记”符合语境。
【21题详解】
句意:它们能闻到藏在雪下的坚果。
根据前文“a great sense of smell”(很好的嗅觉),可知是用鼻子闻,smell“闻”符合语境。其他选项与嗅觉无关。
【22题详解】
句意:它们还有锋利的牙齿,一生都在不断生长。
根据后文“keep their teeth from getting too long”(防止牙齿长得太长),可知牙齿是一直在长的,keep“保持”符合语境。stop“停止”;start“开始”;finish“完成”与事实相反。
【23题详解】
句意:有些人甚至开心地在公园里喂它们。
根据前文“Many people think squirrels are lovely”(许多人觉得松鼠可爱),可知喂它们时心情是愉快的,happily“开心地”符合语境。
【24题详解】
句意:如果松鼠和人类太过亲近,可能会丧失独立觅食的能力。
根据“get too... to”及后文“lose their ability”,可知是松鼠和人类太过亲近,get close to“靠近、亲近”,固定搭配,close“接近的”符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:帮助这些可爱动物的最好方式是保护它们的自然家园。
根据“protect their natural homes”(保护自然家园),这是一种帮助行为,help“帮助”符合语境。

The Amazing Migration of Monarch Butterflies
Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies begin a long and amazing journey. They travel thousands of kilometers from Canada and the northern United States all the way to Mexico. This is called migration.
The journey is not easy. The butterflies fly about 80 kilometers each day. They have to cross rivers, mountains and even cities. The whole trip takes about two months. What makes this migration even more surprising is that no single butterfly makes the full round trip. The butterflies that arrive in Mexico are the great-great-grandchildren of the ones that left the year before.
Why do they do it? Monarch butterflies cannot live in cold weather. If they stay in the north during winter, they will freeze to death. In Mexico, the weather is warm all year, and they can rest in the mountain forests. Millions of butterflies gather on the trees there, creating a beautiful orange and black sight.
In spring, the butterflies start the long journey back north. Along the way, they stop to lay eggs on milkweed plants. The new butterflies hatch and continue the journey north. It takes four generations of butterflies to complete the full cycle.
Scientists are worried about monarch butterflies these days. Their numbers are dropping because people are cutting down the forests in Mexico and using chemicals that kill milkweed plants. We need to protect these beautiful creatures before it’s too late.
31. How far do monarch butterflies travel during migration?
A. About 80 kilometers. B. About 800 kilometers.
C. Thousands of kilometers. D. Millions of kilometers.
32. Why is the migration so surprising?
A. The butterflies fly very fast. B. No single butterfly finishes the whole trip.
C. The butterflies travel alone. D. The trip takes only one week.
33. Why do monarch butterflies fly to Mexico?
A. To find more food. B. To lay their eggs there.
C. To avoid the cold winter. D. To meet other butterflies.
34. What does the underlined word “generations” mean in Chinese?
A. 年代 B. 代/辈 C. 数量 D. 种类
35. What is making the number of monarch butterflies smaller?
A. Cold weather in Mexico. B. Too many milkweed plants.
C. People protecting the forests. D. Loss of forests and milkweed plants.
【答案】31. C 32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了帝王蝶每年秋季开启的独特跨代超长迁徙现象,说明其为躲避严寒,依靠多代接力完成数千公里往返,同时点明该物种当前面临的严峻生存危机。
【31题详解】
根据第一段第二句“They travel thousands of kilometers from Canada and the northern United States all the way to Mexico.”可知,帝王蝶迁徙的距离是数千公里。
【32题详解】
根据第二段最后一句“What makes this migration even more surprising is that no single butterfly makes the full round trip.”可知,迁徙令人惊讶的原因是没有任何一只蝴蝶能完成整个往返旅程。
【33题详解】
根据第三段第二、三句“Monarch butterflies cannot live in cold weather. If they stay in the north during winter, they will freeze to death.”可知,它们飞往墨西哥是为了躲避寒冷的冬天。
【34题详解】
根据第二段提到的“great-great-grandchildren”以及第四段语境“It takes four generations of butterflies to complete the full cycle.”可知,完成整个循环需要四“代”蝴蝶,故generations意为“代/辈”。
【35题详解】
根据最后一段第二句“Their numbers are dropping because people are cutting down the forests in Mexico and using chemicals that kill milkweed plants.”可知,导致数量减少的原因是森林被砍伐和乳草植物被化学药剂杀死。

How to Start a Bird Garden
Would you like to wake up to the sound of singing birds every morning? You can make this come true by creating a bird garden in your backyard. It’s easier than you think!
First, you need to provide food for the birds. Different birds like different kinds of seeds. Sunflower seeds are popular with most birds. You can put them in a bird feeder and hang it from a tree. Make sure you clean the feeder regularly to keep the birds healthy. Fruit trees and berry bushes are also great because they provide natural food.
Second, birds need water. A simple birdbath will work perfectly. Change the water every few days to keep it clean. In winter, you might need to use a heated birdbath so the water doesn’t freeze. Birds love to bathe and drink fresh water, so this will attract many visitors.
Third, birds need places to build their nests and hide from danger. Planting trees and tall bushes gives birds shelter. You can also put up birdhouses. Different birds like different sizes of houses, so do some research first.
Finally, try not to use chemicals in your garden. They can make the birds sick. Instead, use natural ways to keep pests away.
Watching birds in your garden is a wonderful hobby. You will be surprised how many different kinds of birds come to visit. Keep a notebook and write down which birds you see. You might even spot some rare ones!
36. What is the first thing you need for a bird garden?
A. Water. B. Food. C. Shelter. D. Birdhouses.
37. Why should you clean the bird feeder regularly?

C. To attract more birds. D. To make the seeds last longer.
38. What do you need to do with the birdbath in winter?
A. Empty it every day. B. Use a heated one.
C. Move it inside. D. Fill it with seeds.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了作者最好的朋友Lisa,她是一位有创造力的人,热爱剪纸艺术,并通过剪纸获得放松和快乐。
【46题详解】

52. takes care of
53. give up
54. instead of
55. As soon as
【解析】
【导语】本文是围绕朋友家养了一只新宠物展开的对话。
【51题详解】
句意:我期待每天放学后和他一起玩。根据句意选择表示“期待”的短语,look forward to doing sth.“期待做某事”,playing符合这个动词短语的用法,所以填look forward to。
【52题详解】
句意:但当你上学时谁照顾他。后文答句“looks after”,同义替换take care of“照顾”。疑问词who作主语视为三单,一般现在时动词变为takes care of。
【53题详解】
句意:当训练变得困难时你不应该轻易放弃。根据句意选择give up,表示“放弃”,情态动词shouldn’t后必须跟动词原形,因此直接填give up,贴合“训练艰难不要放弃”语境。
【54题详解】
句意:我会每天遛他,而不是只是把他留在院子里。根据句意选择instead of,表示“而不是”,后接名词/动名词,空后leaving为动名词,符合语法,句子前后是两种对待小狗的不同方式,形成对比逻辑。
【55题详解】
句意:你一到家,替我给它一个大大的拥抱。表示“一……就……”,所以选as soon as。因位于句首,首字母需大写,所以填As soon as。

【65题详解】
句意:但是你知道这件寻常物品背后的故事吗?固定搭配the story behind sth.表示 “某物背后的故事”,首字母b提示填介词behind。
【66题详解】
句意:纸最早约2000年前在中国被发明。主语paper和空格处单词是被动关系,句子时态为一般过去时,被动语态结构为“was+过去分词”;后文介绍蔡伦改良造纸术,对应 “发明纸张” 的语义,首字母i对应 invent,变形为过去分词invented。

【68题详解】

句意:但这里存在一个问题:造纸会消耗大量树木。后文“每年数百万树木被砍伐”是造纸带来的负面难题,空格前冠词a限定单数名词,语义对应“难题、问题”,首字母p匹配problem。
【72题详解】
句意:这就是回收纸张如此重要的原因。空格在从句中充当主语,动词不能直接作主语,需要转换为动名词形式;后文反复提及重复利用纸张,语义为“回收”,首字母r对应recycle,变为动名词recycling。
【73题详解】
句意:下次你要扔掉一张纸时,请三思。后文倡导不要随意丢弃纸张,给出劝导行为,英语固定搭配think twice表示“三思、慎重考虑”,空格在动词think后,首字母t匹配twice。
【74题详解】
句意:把它放进回收箱。前文提到不要随意丢弃废纸,本句引出正确的替代处理方式,空格处需要副词来表达 “作为替代、反倒” 的含义;首字母i对应副词instead,符合上下文逻辑。
