A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 41. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 42. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 43. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 44. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 45. Which words can best describe John Todd? A. Brave and modest B. Curious and practical C. Careful and strict D. Humorous and hard-working C Parenthood is often described as life’s greatest gift — a journey of deep love and connection. Children are the light of your life, the ones who make everything worthwhile. But, like any long-term relationship, it has its challenging moments. Years ago, I wrote a column suggesting that what most mothers really want for Mother’s Day isn’t flowers or breakfast in bed — it’s an apology. A heartfelt acknowledgement of all the moments their children tested their patience. Picture this: “March 2004, losing my temper on a ferry — I’m sorry. April 2004, screaming because you broke my chess — I’m sorry. April 2004 again, screaming because the replacement cheese was also ‘wrong’ — I’m sorry.” Parents, of course, could admit their own mistakes, like accidentally ruining childhood myths about Snow White. It would be a way for everyone to start fresh as they entered adulthood. While I never got those apologies, a recent experience brought me close to that feeling. Both my daughters have recently moved out and started their own independent lives. Watching them face the realities of adulthood has been unexpectedly satisfying. Every time they’re surprised by how difficult life can be, it feels like proof that my years of parenting paid off. In a darkly humorous way, it’s almost like the perfect parent would leave their kids so unprepared that they wouldn’t last a day. Thankfully, I didn’t aim for that kind of perfection — both my daughters are doing well, despite some struggles along the way. Still, their comments about adult life are little victories for me. One daughter admitted she now understands why I insisted on carpets instead of concrete floors. She even sees the value of things she once laughed at, like curtains and electric blankets. Another revelation came when she discovered how expensive basic items like washing powder are. “Why is something so boring so costly?” she asked, shocked. It’s not just the financial surprises. They’ve also come to appreciate the small comforts of home. One daughter admitted it’s nice to wake up to someone cooking breakfast. She used to wish I’d leave her alone for a weekend, but now she sees the warmth of having someone there. I’m still waiting for the ultimate acknowledgement — when they become parents themselves and finally understand my efforts — but for now, these small realizations feel like a sweet reward. 46. According to the author, what do most mothers truly want for Mother’s Day? A. Flowers and breakfast in bed. B. A genuine expression of regret from their children. C. A chance to reflect on their parenting achievements. D. A discussion about childhood myths like Snow White. 47. What does the author find satisfying about her daughters moving out? A. Their newfound freedom. B. Their financial independence. C. Finding them unwilling to leave home. D. Seeing them handle the struggles of adult life. 48. What does the phrase “that kind of perfection” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Bringing up kids ready to face adult challenges. B. Being able to gain understanding from grown-up kids. C. Raising kids without ability to live independently. D. Providing children with comfortable household supplies. 49. What realization did one of the author’s daughters have about household items? A. Concrete floors are better than carpets. B. Washing powder is surprisingly expensive. C. Electric blankets are unnecessary luxuries. D. Curtains are outdated interior design elements. 50. Why does the author believe her daughters’ small realizations are rewarding? A. They justify her parenting choices. B. They make her feel less alone. C. They highlight her daughters’ maturity. D. They remind her of the warmth of family life. V．阅读表达(共5个小题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读表达 When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿). She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother. Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time. I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her. One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win. “Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. “Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?” There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.” I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise. 51. Why did Michelle call the author the next day?

II．单项选择(共 20 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 20 分) 1. — What do you think of the camping trip we took last weekend? — ______. The scenery was amazing and we had so much fun together. A. Just so-so B. I can’t think too highly of it C. I could have had a better one D. I’m fed up with it 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得我们上周末的露营旅行怎么样？——我对它评价再高也不为过。风景太迷人了，我们在一起玩得很开心。A. Just so-so一般般，马马虎虎；B. I can’t think too highly of it我对它评价很高；C. I could have had a better one.我本可以有更好的一次（旅行）；D. I’m fed up with it我厌倦了它。根据答语后半句“The scenery was amazing and we had so much fun together.”可知，答语者对这次旅行评价非常高。选项B中“can’t...too...”为固定搭配，意为“再……也不为过”，表示极度肯定，符合语境。 2. There is a heated debate on ______ traditional festivals should be celebrated in western styles. A. that B. whether C. what D. how 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：关于传统节日是否应该以西方方式庆祝，存在着激烈的争论。空格处引导的从句作介词on的宾语，从句结构完整，不缺主干成分。根据“a heated debate(激烈的争论)”可知，争论的内容应是“是否”应该以西方方式庆祝，需用whether引导宾语从句，表示“是否”。 3. ______, she never gives up exploring new literary works. A. Young though she is B. Young as is she C. Though young she is D. As young she is 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管她很年轻，但她从未放弃探索新的文学作品。as或though引导让步状语从句时，其倒装结构为“表语/状语/动词原形+as/though+主语+谓语”。本句中将表语young提至句首，主语和谓语保持正常语序she is，即“Young as/though she is”。 4. He complained about the poor service, and ______ he got a 20% discount from the shop. A. subsequently B. constantly C. occasionally D. originally 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他抱怨服务差，随后他从这家店得到了20%的折扣。A. subsequently随后；B. constantly不断地；C. occasionally偶尔；D. originally起初。根据后文he got a 20% discount from the shop指随后得到了折扣。 5.

Reading is an effective means ______ people can broaden their horizons and enrich their minds. A. on which B. in which C. by which D. for which 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：阅读是一种有效的方式，人们可以通过它来开阔眼界，丰富头脑。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词means(方式，方法)。在定语从句中，表示“通过这种方式”常使用固定搭配by this means，因此介词需用by，关系代词用which指代先行词means作介词的宾语。 7. She proved to herself that she could ______ her dream, and she finally got into her ideal university. A. come up with B. look forward to C. live up to D. put up with 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她向自己证明了她能够实现她的梦想，最终她考入了理想的大学。A. come up with提出；B. look forward to期待；C. live up to实现；D. put up with忍受。根据“and she finally got into her ideal university”可知，她实现了自己的梦想，live up to符合题意。 8. ______ the serious mistake, she regretted ______ her teacher’s advice. A. Faced with; not taking B. Facing with; not to take C. Having faced; not take D. Facing; having not taken 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：面对这个严重的错误，她后悔没有听从老师的建议。第一空，固定搭配be faced with意为“面临”，此处作原因或时间状语，主语she与face之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词形式Faced with；第二空，regret doing sth.意为“后悔做了某事”，其否定形式为regret not doing sth.，此处表示后悔没有听从建议，故用not taking。 9. —I guess you want to go play tennis. —__________.

You read my mind 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——我猜你想去打网球。——你猜透了我的心思。那就是我正在想着的事情。从回答的后半句可知，听话人同意说话人的意思。而A（不明白，不认同某人的说法）、B（决于你）和C（很难说，不可预知）都不符合语境。“you read my mind”意为“你知我心”，符合语境，故选D。 10. ______ to loud noise continuously, the residents nearby suffered from sleep loss. A. Exposing B. Exposed C. Having exposed D. To expose 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于持续暴露在巨大的噪音中，附近的居民遭受了失眠的痛苦。句中已有谓语动词suffered，且没有连词，故空格处应填入非谓语动词。动词expose（使暴露）与逻辑主语the residents nearby（附近的居民）之间是逻辑上的动宾关系（被动关系），故用过去分词形式作原因状语。 11. Linda takes extra reading classes every weekend ______ she can improve her English quickly. A. so that B. in case C. as though D. even though 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：琳达每个周末都上额外的阅读课，以便她能快速提高英语水平。A. so that以便，为了；B. in case以防，万一；C. as though好像，仿佛；D. even though虽然，即使。上额外阅读课的目的是为了提高英语水平，用so that引导目的状语从句。 12.

A. path B. entrance C. way D. access 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：图书馆为所有注册学生提供开放的数字资源获取途径。A. path小路；B. entrance入口；C. way方式；D. access获取途径。根据句意可知，此处为名词access“获取途径”，符合语境。 13. Tom had to______ the invitation to the party last weekend because he was too busy.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是文学导论课程的评分政策说明，详细介绍了课程成绩的评分标准、构成比例以及迟交作业的扣分规则。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Grading Policies for Introduction to Literature(文学导论评分政策)”和全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了文学导论课程的评分政策，详细说明了评分等级、各项作业分值占比和迟交作业规则，是围绕一门课程的考核安排展开的内容，因此可知该文本最有可能出自一份课程计划。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Essays (60%)”、“Group Assignments (30%)”、“Daily Work / In-Class Writings and Tests / Group Work / Homework (10%)”可知，论文占60%，小组作业占30%，日常作业/课堂写作与测试/小组任务/作业占10%，由此可知，学生的最终成绩由三部分构成。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Group Assignments (30%)”下面的“All the assignments will be submitted by the assigned date through Blackboard, our online learning and course management system.(所有作业都要在规定日期内通过Blackboard提交，它是我们的在线学习和课程管理系统)”可知，Blackboard是用来在线提交小组作业的线上系统。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Daily Work / In-Class Writings and Tests / Group Work / Homework (10%)”下面的“Class activities will vary from day to day, but students must be ready to complete short in-class writings or tests drawn directly from assigned readings or notes from the previous class’ lecture / discussion, so it is important to take careful notes during class.(课堂活动每天都会有所不同，但学生必须做好准备完成课上短文写作或测试，这些测试内容直接来自指定阅读材料或是上一节课讲座/讨论的笔记，因此上课认真记笔记非常重要)”可知，课堂测试的内容可能来自之前课堂的笔记，由此可推知，前几节课的笔记可以帮助学生准备课上测试。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero.(如果论文在截止日期后第四天还未提交，将会记零分)”可知，如果在截止日期一周后提交论文，远远超过了四天的宽限期，最终成绩会记零分。 B When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 41. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 42. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 43. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 44. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 45. Which words can best describe John Todd? A. Brave and modest B. Curious and practical C. Careful and strict D. Humorous and hard-working 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了约翰·托德从小热爱观察自然，受自然净化过程的启发，设计并建造了“生态机器”，并在全球多地成功应用，体现了他的好奇心与将自然原理付诸实践的才能。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. (约翰·托德小时候喜欢探索家附近的树林，观察自然如何解决问题。)”和第二段第一句“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. (在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业之后，约翰又回来观察自然、提出问题。)”以及前两段中他的观察和他思考的很多问题可知，约翰从小就对自然如何运作充满好奇，并且不断提出问题，这体现了他具有探究精神。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). (约翰给自己设定的任务是从一些污泥中去除有害物质。)”以及第三段最后一句“After a few weeks, John added the sludge. (几周后，约翰加入了污泥。)”可知，约翰建造水箱并放入动植物形成生态系统后，加入污泥是为了检验这套生态机器能否如自然一样处理有害物质，即测试其净化效果。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. (多年来，约翰承担了许多大型项目。他在南伯灵顿开发了一个类似温室的设施，用于处理来自1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一台生态机器来净化中国东南部城市福州的水渠。)”可知，本段主要介绍他的设计应用到了实际的项目中，并举了两个例子来证明这点，本段第二句和第三句分别是这两个例子，因此作者提到福州是为了举例说明约翰的生态设计理念在实际项目中得到了应用。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. (例如，一条肮脏的小溪在流过植物和微生物依附的岩石后常常变得清澈。)”以及最后一段最后一句“Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair. (然后你让这些新系统发展出它们自己的方式来自我修复。)”可知，约翰工作的根本在于自然本身具有自我修复和净化的能力，他利用这一原理构建生态机器。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. (约翰·托德小时候喜欢探索家附近的树林，观察自然如何解决问题。)”和全文约翰在不同城市设计并实际建造生态机器来处理污水可知，他始终保持着好奇心并动手实践，将自己的观察转化为实际应用，因此用curious（好奇的）和practical（实践的）描述他是最恰当的。 C Parenthood is often described as life’s greatest gift — a journey of deep love and connection. Children are the light of your life, the ones who make everything worthwhile. But, like any long-term relationship, it has its challenging moments. Years ago, I wrote a column suggesting that what most mothers really want for Mother’s Day isn’t flowers or breakfast in bed — it’s an apology. A heartfelt acknowledgement of all the moments their children tested their patience. Picture this: “March 2004, losing my temper on a ferry — I’m sorry. April 2004, screaming because you broke my chess — I’m sorry. April 2004 again, screaming because the replacement cheese was also ‘wrong’ — I’m sorry.” Parents, of course, could admit their own mistakes, like accidentally ruining childhood myths about Snow White. It would be a way for everyone to start fresh as they entered adulthood. While I never got those apologies, a recent experience brought me close to that feeling. Both my daughters have recently moved out and started their own independent lives. Watching them face the realities of adulthood has been unexpectedly satisfying. Every time they’re surprised by how difficult life can be, it feels like proof that my years of parenting paid off. In a darkly humorous way, it’s almost like the perfect parent would leave their kids so unprepared that they wouldn’t last a day. Thankfully, I didn’t aim for that kind of perfection — both my daughters are doing well, despite some struggles along the way. Still, their comments about adult life are little victories for me. One daughter admitted she now understands why I insisted on carpets instead of concrete floors. She even sees the value of things she once laughed at, like curtains and electric blankets. Another revelation came when she discovered how expensive basic items like washing powder are. “Why is something so boring so costly?” she asked, shocked. It’s not just the financial surprises. They’ve also come to appreciate the small comforts of home. One daughter admitted it’s nice to wake up to someone cooking breakfast. She used to wish I’d leave her alone for a weekend, but now she sees the warmth of having someone there. I’m still waiting for the ultimate acknowledgement — when they become parents themselves and finally understand my efforts — but for now, these small realizations feel like a sweet reward. 46. According to the author, what do most mothers truly want for Mother’s Day? A. Flowers and breakfast in bed. B. A genuine expression of regret from their children. C. A chance to reflect on their parenting achievements. D. A discussion about childhood myths like Snow White. 47. What does the author find satisfying about her daughters moving out? A. Their newfound freedom. B. Their financial independence. C. Finding them unwilling to leave home. D. Seeing them handle the struggles of adult life. 48. What does the phrase “that kind of perfection” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Bringing up kids ready to face adult challenges. B. Being able to gain understanding from grown-up kids. C. Raising kids without ability to live independently. D. Providing children with comfortable household supplies. 49. What realization did one of the author’s daughters have about household items? A. Concrete floors are better than carpets. B. Washing powder is surprisingly expensive. C. Electric blankets are unnecessary luxuries. D. Curtains are outdated interior design elements. 50. Why does the author believe her daughters’ small realizations are rewarding? A. They justify her parenting choices. B. They make her feel less alone. C. They highlight her daughters’ maturity. D. They remind her of the warmth of family life. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者观察到在女儿们独立生活后，她们体会到成人的不易，并开始理解母亲当年的用心，迟来的领悟印证了自己为人父母的付出。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“Years ago, I wrote a column suggesting that what most mothers really want for Mother’s Day isn’t flowers or breakfast in bed — it’s an apology. (多年前，我写过一篇专栏，提出大多数母亲在母亲节真正想要的不是鲜花或床上早餐，而是一句道歉。)”可知，作者认为母亲们最想要的是孩子发自内心的歉意，即对孩子曾经让母亲操心和忍耐的时刻表示悔意。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Watching them face the realities of adulthood has been unexpectedly satisfying. Every time they’re surprised by how difficult life can be, it feels like proof that my years of parenting paid off. (看着她们面对成人生活的现实，竟然出乎意料地让我感到满足。每当她们对生活的艰难感到惊讶时，那感觉就像是我多年的育儿付出终于得到了回报。)”可知，作者感到满足的原因是看到女儿们面对并处理成人生活中的各种困难，这印证了作者的教育有了成效。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第五、六句“In a darkly humorous way, it’s almost like the perfect parent would leave their kids so unprepared that they wouldn’t last a day. Thankfully, I didn’t aim for that kind of perfection — both my daughters are doing well, despite some struggles along the way. (从黑色幽默的角度看，完美的父母几乎就是让孩子毫无准备，结果是一天都撑不下去。幸好，我的目标并不是那种完美——尽管过程中有些挣扎，我的两个女儿都过得不错。)”可知，“that kind of perfection”指的是前文提到的“让孩子毫无准备、无法独立生活”的那种育儿状态，即培养出缺乏独立生活能力的孩子。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“Another revelation came when she discovered how expensive basic items like washing powder are. “Why is something so boring so costly? ”she asked, shocked. (另一个顿悟是她发现像洗衣粉这样的基本用品竟然如此昂贵。她震惊地问道：“这么乏味的东西为什么这么贵？”)可知，作者女儿意识到的是洗衣粉等日用品的价格出乎意料地高。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m still waiting for the ultimate acknowledgement — when they become parents themselves and finally understand my efforts — but for now, these small realizations feel like a sweet reward. (我仍在等待最终的认可——等她们自己成为父母并最终理解我的付出——但就目前而言，这些小小的领悟感觉像是一种甜蜜的回报。)”可知，女儿们对成人生活各种不易的领悟，印证了作者当年的做法是合理且有意义的，让作者感到自己的育儿选择得到了验证和回报。 V．阅读表达(共5个小题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读表达 When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿). She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother. Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time. I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her. One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win. “Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. “Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?” There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.” I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise. 51. Why did Michelle call the author the next day? (no more than 8 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 52. How did the author feel after going into Michelle’s bedroom? (no more than 5 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 53. What was Michelle’s home like?

There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her.(我很喜欢待在她干干净净的房间里。那里不用做家务，没有兄弟姐妹来吵闹打扰，也没有父母没完没了地唠叨我们。但米歇尔告诉我，她自己的父母很少在家，保姆也几乎不跟她说话。)”可知，米歇尔家物质富足却缺少关爱。 【54题详解】 考查词义猜测。由第六段中“Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind.(突然一个主意popped into我的脑海里。)”以及第七段““Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?”(“等一下，妈妈！”我说。“米歇尔今晚能和我们一起吃晚饭吗？”)”可知，这里指作者想到一个主意，即邀请米歇一起吃晚饭，所以短语popped into意为“想到、突然出现”。 【55题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你认为作者的家庭怎么样？为什么？（不超过 20 字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我认为作者的家庭很温暖，因为爱与陪伴才是家最重要的东西。 VI．作文(共25分) 56. 假设你是李津，你校学生会计划创办英语报，该报开设文学，体育，音乐，科技；校园生活等五个栏目，学生会招募本校学生担任专栏作者，申请者需要提交不少于100字的英文版的自荐信，请你给负责这项工作的外教Mr. Smith写信，主要内容包括： （1）自我介绍（姓名，性别，年级）； （2）你所申请的栏目及理由； （3）对所申请的栏目的理解及计划。 注意：（1）不要逐字翻译提示内容，可适当增加信息。 （2）开头结尾已经给好，不计入总字数。 Dear Mr. Smith, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m a Chinese boy named Li Jin, who is studying in Class one, Grade three.
