Different cultures have different ways of eating. For example, in China, people often use chopsticks to eat. But in India, some people eat with their hands. However, in formal restaurants, you should always use utensils (餐具) unless you are told it’s okay to use your hands. It can be confusing to know all the rules. Just remember to sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table. Don’t reach over someone else’s plate. That might be considered impolite. If you need something, ask politely. Also, remember to use serving chopsticks when you share food with others. This shows respect. In some places, making noise while eating is okay, but in others, it is not. So, try to watch what others are doing. If you are not sure what to do, just follow the local people. Being polite and respectful is the key to enjoying a meal in a new culture. By learning these small things, you can avoid feeling that your behaviour is improper and show that you care about other cultures. So next time you eat out, remember these tips and enjoy your meal! 5. According to the passage, what should you use when sharing food with others? A. Your own chopsticks B. Serving chopsticks C. Your hands D. Different plates 6. What does the underlined word “confusing” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Easy B. difficult to understand C. Interesting D. simple to follow 7. We can infer from the text that _________. A. people in India never use any utensils for meals B. it is always polite to make noises while eating abroad C. putting elbows on the dinner table is not proper D. you can cross others to get food easily at table 8. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Different eating habits in different countries B. Why people should respect foreign cultures C. Useful table manners tips when eating abroad D. How to use chopsticks correctly in restaurants 【答案】5. B 6. B 7. C 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在国外不同文化背景下用餐时需要注意的餐桌礼仪，包括使用公用筷子、坐姿、不越过他人盘子等具体建议，并强调礼貌和尊重的重要性。 【5题详解】 根据第二段中“Also, remember to use serving chopsticks when you share food with others.”可知，分享食物时应使用公筷（serving chopsticks）。 【6题详解】 根据第二段首句“It can be confusing to know all the rules.”以及下文列举的各种不同文化的餐桌礼仪可知，了解所有的规则是令人困惑的、难以理解的。选项B“difficult to understand”（难以理解）符合语境。 【7题详解】 根据第二段中“Just remember to sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table.”可推断，把手肘放在餐桌上是不恰当的。选项A与第一段“some people eat with their hands”及后文正式场合需用餐具矛盾；选项B与第三段"in others, it is not"矛盾；选项D与第二段“Don’t reach over someone else’s plate”矛盾。 【8题详解】 通读全文可知，文章第一段引出不同国家的饮食礼仪，第二段和第三段具体介绍了在国外就餐时的注意事项和建议（如坐姿、公筷、观察当地人等），最后一段总结学习这些礼仪的好处。因此，文章的主旨是关于在国外就餐时有用的餐桌礼仪建议。 C Scientists are creating robots that can be used in many different areas of life. Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 9. How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 10. What is true according to the passage? A. The penguin robot can sing songs now. B. Emperor penguins liked the penguin-shaped robot. C. Scientists studied penguins less than 200 metres away with the remote vehicle. D. Emperor penguins never feel nervous around people. 11. What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A. Sing songs. B. Swim in the sea. C. Take photos. D. Dance on the snow. 12. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Shy Emperor Penguins in Antarctica B. How to Make Animal Documentaries C. A Special Penguin-shaped Research Robot D. Ways to Protect Wild Emperor Penguins 【答案】9. D 10. B 11. A 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家研发的一种外形像企鹅的机器人，用于近距离研究帝企鹅的行为及其改进计划。 【9题详解】 文章第一段提到“They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them.”，当科学家靠近时，帝企鹅通常感到紧张。 【10题详解】 第二段提到“This new robot didn’t scare the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot”，企鹅没有受惊吓甚至唱歌欢迎，说明它们喜欢这个机器人。 【11题详解】 第二段最后一句提到“Next time they will have the robot sing songs.”，科学家计划下次让机器人唱歌。 【12题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了科学家研发的一种外形像企鹅的机器人，用于近距离研究帝企鹅的行为及其改进计划。C选项“一种特殊的企鹅形状研究机器人”最能概括文章核心内容。 D ①The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气). The Spring Equinox (春分), as the fourth term of the year, starts on 20 March this year. When the Spring Equinox comes, the time of the day is the same as the time of the night. Here are things you may not know about the Spring Equinox. ②Eating spring vegetables: Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a custom in China. “Spring vegetables” refer to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place. The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic, Huangdi Neijing, suggest that people eat seasonal foods to help keep healthy and bring good luck. ③Swallows fly north: The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three “hou” or five-day parts. As the Chinese old saying goes, “Swallows fly back to the north in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou.” ④Egg-standing games: Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox. It is an old custom that dates back 4,000 years. People practise this tradition to celebrate the coming of spring. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future. ⑤Flying kites: The Spring Equinox is a good time to fly kites. In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So to pray for health, they wrote their illness on a paper kite. When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite fly away. Later flying kites developed into a popular game of spring. On the Spring Equinox, people write a wish on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky would see it. ⑥Reward farm cattle (牛) : This practice is popular in the southern area of the Yangtze River. As the Spring Equinox comes, farm work starts and both the farmers and the cattle start to become busy. Farmers will reward cattle with rice balls to express their thanks. 13. What does “spring vegetables” mean? A. Vegetables grown in spring. B. Useful vegetables. C. Healthy vegetables. D. Green vegetables. 14. Why do farmers give the cattle rice balls as the Spring Equinox comes? A. To make cattle stronger. B. To express their thanks. C. To have good luck in the future. D. To pray for good health. 15. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ 16. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Thunder and lightning appear right after swallows fly north during the Spring Equinox. B. Each of the three “hou” lasts fifteen days. C. Swallows fly to the south in the first “hou” of the Spring Equinox. D. There are three solar terms within fifteen days of the Spring Equinox. 【答案】13. A 14. B 15. A 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国二十四节气中的“春分”，包括其时间特点以及吃春菜、燕子北归、竖蛋、放风筝、奖励耕牛等传统习俗。 【13题详解】 根据第二段内容“‘Spring vegetables’ refer to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place”可知，“spring vegetables”指的是春季生长的时令蔬菜。 【14题详解】 根据第六段最后一句“Farmers will reward cattle with rice balls to express their thanks”可知，农民给耕牛喂饭团是为了表达感谢之情。 【15题详解】 文章第一段总起介绍春分及习俗，第二至第六段分别详细介绍了吃春菜、燕子北归、竖蛋、放风筝、奖励耕牛五个具体习俗，段落间为并列关系，整体为总分结构。 【16题详解】 根据第三段可知，春分十五天分为三候，一候燕子北飞，二候雷发声，三候闪电现。A 项符合文中描述的物候先后顺序。 第二节 还原句子 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 A good speech helps you share your ideas clearly.

When your ideas connect well, listeners will understand and remember them better.

The book is quite interesting and popular among kids. Even if I am an adult now, the book is ____21____ one of my favorites. After rereading the book recently, I have ____22____ an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring ____23____. What’s in your mind when your mother ____24____ you to do some chores? Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨)? I think most people have. Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to ____25____ the fence (篱笆). Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “____26____” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand-boys can do this!” Tom said. Tom’s words made Ben ____27____ in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about ____28____ but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence. This story teaches me a (n) ____29____ lesson: Complaining is of no use. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what ____30____ in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don’t complain, and you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job! 21. A. just B. still C. even D. hardly 22. A. learnt B. taught C. given D. attended 23.

B 22. A 23. C 24. D 25. A 26. B 27. D 28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过重读《汤姆索亚历险记》，讲述汤姆刷篱笆的故事，告诉我们抱怨无用，面对枯燥任务应保持积极心态。 【21题详解】 句意：即使我现在是个成年人，这本书仍然是我的最爱之一。 根据“even if I am an adult now”可知，虽然长大了，但喜好未变，表示持续状态。根据语境，still （仍然）符合逻辑，just（仅仅）、even（甚至）、hardly（几乎不）均无法体现这种持续的喜爱。 【22题详解】 句意：最近重读这本书后，我从汤姆索亚那里学到了重要的一课。 根据“lesson from Tom Sawyer”可知，learn a lesson from sb.表示“向某人学习经验”。主语是I，应用learnt。taught（教）、given（给）、attended（参加）均无法构成该搭配。 【23题详解】 句意：在日常生活中，我们常被分配一些无聊或累人的任务。 根据下文“boring task”及“do some chores”可知，此处指日常任务，tasks（任务）符合语境；stories（故事）、words（话语）、lessons（课程）均与后文的任务描述无关。 【24题详解】 句意：当你妈妈要求你做一些家务时，你心里在想什么？ 根据“to do some chores”可知，ask sb. to do sth.表示要求某人做某事。trusts（信任）、allows（允许）、helps（帮助）均不符合此处语境。 【25题详解】 句意：一天，波莉姨妈告诉汤姆去粉刷篱笆。 根据下文“paint the fence”及原著情节可知，任务是刷篱笆，paint（刷漆）符合语境；repair（修理）、examine（检查）、cross（穿过）均不符合情节。 【26题详解】 句意：汤姆没有抱怨，而是告诉本他对这项任务感到“兴奋”。 根据“Instead of complaining”及汤姆想吸引本的兴趣可知，他假装喜欢excited（兴奋的）符合语境；bored（无聊的）、unexpected（意外的）、disappointed（失望的）均与汤姆的行为不符。 【27题详解】 句意：汤姆的话使本对这项任务产生了兴趣。 根据“He even gave Tom his apple”可知，本愿意交换，说明感兴趣。interested（感兴趣的）符合语境，“make sb. interested in sth.”意为“让某人对某事感兴趣”；strange（奇怪的）、stupid（愚蠢的）、bored（无聊的）均不符合本的反应。 【28题详解】 句意：如果汤姆只想着抱怨，他刷篱笆的一天会很糟糕。 nothing（什么都没有）符合语境，“think about nothing but complaining”意为“除了抱怨什么都不想”；everything（一切）、anything（任何事）、something（某事）均不符合此处的否定含义。 【29题详解】 句意：这个故事给了我一个宝贵的教训：抱怨是没用的。 根据“important lesson”及文章主旨可知，教训是有价值的。boring（无聊的）、strange（奇怪的）、simple（简单的）均无法体现这个道理的重要性。 【30题详解】 句意：不像汤姆索亚故事里发生的那样，不太可能有人来替你干活。 根据“in the story”可知，指故事里发生的事情。happens（发生）符合语境，“what happens in the story”意为 “故事里发生的事”；changes（改变）、appears（出现）、works（工作）均不符合此处语境。 第二部分 笔试部分(共40分) 三、语篇填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) Zhang Daqian was born on May 10, 1899, in Neijiang, Sichuan.

Finally 39. better 40. at 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了张大千的生平经历与绘画成就。 【31题详解】 句意：他是二十世纪最著名的中国艺术家之一。“one of+可数名词复数”为固定结构，art对应的表示“艺术家”的名词是artist，复数形式为artists。 【32题详解】 句意：他是二十世纪最著名的中国艺术家之一。表示“第二十”要用序数词，twenty的序数词形式是twentieth，the twentieth century意为“二十世纪”。 【33题详解】 句意：1917年，他前往日本学习绘画。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，表去日本的目的是学习绘画，故填to learn。 【34题详解】 句意：两年后，他前往上海跟随两位著名中国画家接受传统绘画教导。修饰名词painting instruction需要用形容词，tradition的形容词形式traditional意为“传统的”。 【35题详解】 句意：在他们的帮助下，张大千才有机会研习古画。介词of后需用人称代词宾格，they的宾格形式是them，with the help of them表示“在他们的帮助下”。 【36题详解】 句意：他开始与北京画家溥心畬合作。前文“in the late 1920s”是过去时间，句子使用一般过去时，begin的过去式为began。 【37题详解】 句意：张和溥名气极大，被尊称为“南张北溥”。固定句型so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。 【38题详解】 句意：最终，他们研习了两百多幅画作。修饰整个句子需用副词，final的副词形式finally表示“最终”，句首首字母大写。 【39题详解】 句意：这次经历之后，他的画技比从前好很多。句中出现比较级标志词than，形容词good的比较级是better，much修饰比较级表程度。 【40题详解】 句意：他1978年创作的画作在2021年卖出了很高的价格。固定搭配at a good price意为“以不错的价格”。 四、阅读与表达(共4小题，41-43题，每小题2分;第44题，4分;共10分) Many middle schools in Liaoning offer a short spring holiday of three or four days every year. It falls in late April, when flowers bloom and the weather becomes warm enough for outdoor activities. Teachers believe the spring holiday is necessary. After busy school days in early spring, students easily feel tired and stressed. The short break lets teenagers stay away from heavy homework for a while and get close to nature. Most students make simple plans for the holiday. Some choose spring outings with families to climb hills or have picnics. Some volunteer in community park cleaning. Others spend half a day reading useful books and finish homework properly. However, a few students waste the whole holiday staying up late playing online games all day long. They feel more tired after the holiday and can’t get ready for classes quickly. Experts advise students to make clear daily plans and balance rest, outdoor activities and school tasks during spring break. 41. How long does the spring holiday last in many Liaoning middle schools? ______________________________________________ 42. Why do teachers think the spring holiday is necessary for students? ______________________________________________ 43.

B When you eat at a nice restaurant in a different country, it’s important to know some table manners. Different cultures have different ways of eating. For example, in China, people often use chopsticks to eat. But in India, some people eat with their hands. However, in formal restaurants, you should always use utensils (餐具) unless you are told it’s okay to use your hands. It can be confusing to know all the rules. Just remember to sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table. Don’t reach over someone else’s plate. That might be considered impolite. If you need something, ask politely. Also, remember to use serving chopsticks when you share food with others. This shows respect. In some places, making noise while eating is okay, but in others, it is not. So, try to watch what others are doing. If you are not sure what to do, just follow the local people. Being polite and respectful is the key to enjoying a meal in a new culture. By learning these small things, you can avoid feeling that your behaviour is improper and show that you care about other cultures.

How to use chopsticks correctly in restaurants C Scientists are creating robots that can be used in many different areas of life. Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 9. How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 10. What is true according to the passage? A. The penguin robot can sing songs now. B. Emperor penguins liked the penguin-shaped robot. C. Scientists studied penguins less than 200 metres away with the remote vehicle. D. Emperor penguins never feel nervous around people. 11. What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A. Sing songs. B. Swim in the sea. C. Take photos. D. Dance on the snow. 12. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Shy Emperor Penguins in Antarctica B. How to Make Animal Documentaries C. A Special Penguin-shaped Research Robot D. Ways to Protect Wild Emperor Penguins D ①The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气). The Spring Equinox (春分), as the fourth term of the year, starts on 20 March this year. When the Spring Equinox comes, the time of the day is the same as the time of the night. Here are things you may not know about the Spring Equinox. ②Eating spring vegetables: Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a custom in China. “Spring vegetables” refer to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place. The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic, Huangdi Neijing, suggest that people eat seasonal foods to help keep healthy and bring good luck. ③Swallows fly north: The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three “hou” or five-day parts. As the Chinese old saying goes, “Swallows fly back to the north in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou.” ④Egg-standing games: Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox. It is an old custom that dates back 4,000 years. People practise this tradition to celebrate the coming of spring. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future. ⑤Flying kites: The Spring Equinox is a good time to fly kites. In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So to pray for health, they wrote their illness on a paper kite. When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite fly away. Later flying kites developed into a popular game of spring. On the Spring Equinox, people write a wish on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky would see it. ⑥Reward farm cattle (牛) : This practice is popular in the southern area of the Yangtze River.
