B When Fan Jinshi first arrived in Dunhuang in 1963, she was a 25-year-old young lady fresh from college. The living conditions were terrible. She lived in a small room with no electricity or running water. The drinking water was salty and tasted bad. Many people left Dunhuang after a few years because life was too hard. But Fan stayed. She fell in love with the ancient caves and the beautiful wall paintings. She felt it was her duty to protect these national treasures. For over 50 years, Fan devoted her life to Dunhuang. She led her team to digitize the caves so that people around the world can enjoy them online. People call her "Daughter of Dunhuang" to show their respect. Now Fan is in her eighties, but she still works for Dunhuang every day. "My life belongs to Dunhuang," she says. "Protecting these treasures is the most meaningful thing I can do." 29. How old was Fan Jinshi when she first went to Dunhuang? A. 20. B. 25. C. 30. D. 50. 30. Why did many people leave Dunhuang? A. Because they didn't like the paintings. B.

People respect her very much. C. She has a daughter in Dunhuang. D. She is very rich and famous. C Many people think that only great people can live meaningful lives. They believe you have to be a famous scientist, a great artist or a rich businessman to make a difference. But I disagree. A meaningful life does not depend on how famous you are or how much money you make. It depends on whether you contribute something to others. A street cleaner who keeps our city tidy is living a meaningful life. A nurse who takes good care of patients is doing meaningful work. Even a student who studies hard and helps classmates is living meaningfully. Great people are important, but ordinary people make the world work. Every job has its value. Every person can shine in their own way. You do not need to be an apple hanging high on the tree to be valuable. You can be a peanut, hidden underground but useful to everyone. The meaning of life is not in being seen, but in being useful. Find what you can do for others, and you will find the true meaning of life. 32. What is the writer's opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Only great people live meaningful lives. B. Rich businessmen are the most important. C. Ordinary people can also live meaningfully. D. Scientists are more important than artists. 33. According to Paragraph 2, what makes a life meaningful? A. Being famous and rich. B. Contributing to others. C. Having a high-paid job. D. Getting praise from others. 34. Why does the writer talk about apples and peanuts? A. To explain that peanuts taste better. B. To show that apples are more useful. C. To compare two different ways of living. D. To tell readers how to grow plants. 35. What can be the best title for this passage? A. How to Become a Great Person B. The Meaning in Ordinary Lives C. Famous People Around Us D. Jobs That Make You Rich D The cactus is one of the most amazing plants on Earth. It has developed special abilities to survive in the hottest and driest places. First, cacti have special leaves. Unlike ordinary plants with broad leaves, most cacti have spines instead of leaves. These spines reduce water loss because they have a smaller surface area. They also protect the cactus from hungry animals. Second, cacti can store lots of water in their stems. Their stems are thick and soft inside. When it rains, the cactus drinks as much water as possible and stores it. It can live on this stored water for months or even years. Third, cacti have special roots. Their roots spread wide but stay near the surface of the ground. This allows them to quickly take in water from even a light rain before it dries up. The cactus teaches us an important lesson: to survive difficult times, you need to change yourself and find your own way. It is not about being the biggest or the most beautiful. It is about being strong enough to face challenges. 36. What do most cacti have instead of broad leaves? A. Flowers. B. Spines. C. Fruits. D. Roots. 37. Where do cacti store water? A. In their leaves. B. In their roots. C. In their stems. D. In their flowers. 38. Why are cactus roots spread wide and near the surface? A. To protect themselves from animals. B. To take in water quickly when it rains. C. To store more water for dry seasons. D. To grow taller and stronger quickly. 39. What lesson does the cactus teach us according to the last paragraph? A. We should always be beautiful. B. We need to change to face challenges. C. We must live in hot places to be strong. D. We need more water to survive. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How cacti survive in dry places. B. Different kinds of cacti. C. Where cacti grow in the world. D. How to grow cacti at home. 第ⅠI卷 非选择题（满分50分） 四、词汇运用。(本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分) A. 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答卷纸的相应位置上。 Everyone wants to live a meaningful life. But what is true meaning?

They believe you have to be a famous scientist, a great artist or a rich businessman to make a difference. But I disagree. A meaningful life does not depend on how famous you are or how much money you make. It depends on whether you contribute something to others. A street cleaner who keeps our city tidy is living a meaningful life. A nurse who takes good care of patients is doing meaningful work. Even a student who studies hard and helps classmates is living meaningfully. Great people are important, but ordinary people make the world work. Every job has its value. Every person can shine in their own way. You do not need to be an apple hanging high on the tree to be valuable. You can be a peanut, hidden underground but useful to everyone. The meaning of life is not in being seen, but in being useful. Find what you can do for others, and you will find the true meaning of life. 32. What is the writer's opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Only great people live meaningful lives. B. Rich businessmen are the most important. C. Ordinary people can also live meaningfully. D. Scientists are more important than artists. 33.

Why does the writer talk about apples and peanuts? A. To explain that peanuts taste better. B. To show that apples are more useful. C. To compare two different ways of living. D. To tell readers how to grow plants. 35. What can be the best title for this passage? A. How to Become a Great Person B. The Meaning in Ordinary Lives C. Famous People Around Us D. Jobs That Make You Rich 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇反驳了 “只有伟大的人才能拥有有意义的人生” 的普遍看法，提出人生的意义不在于名望与财富，而在于对他人有所贡献；平凡岗位上的普通人同样具备价值，也能活出生命的意义。 32. 观点态度题 根据第一段末句 “But I disagree” 可知，作者不认同 “只有伟人才能活出有意义的人生” 的观点，即认为普通人也可以活得有意义，故选 C。其余三项均是作者反驳的大众观点，并非作者自身看法。 33. 细节理解题 根据第二段第二句 “It depends on whether you contribute something to others” 可知，作者认为人生是否有意义的核心标准是能否为他人做出贡献，故选 B。 34. 推理判断题 作者以高挂枝头的苹果对应高调出众的人生，以埋于地下的花生对应低调务实的人生，借此对比两种不同的生活方式与价值取向，故选 C。 35. 主旨大意题 全文围绕 “平凡人生的意义” 展开论述，核心观点是普通人也能凭借奉献拥有有价值的人生，B 项最契合文章主旨，故选 B。 D The cactus is one of the most amazing plants on Earth. It has developed special abilities to survive in the hottest and driest places. First, cacti have special leaves. Unlike ordinary plants with broad leaves, most cacti have spines instead of leaves. These spines reduce water loss because they have a smaller surface area. They also protect the cactus from hungry animals. Second, cacti can store lots of water in their stems. Their stems are thick and soft inside. When it rains, the cactus drinks as much water as possible and stores it. It can live on this stored water for months or even years. Third, cacti have special roots. Their roots spread wide but stay near the surface of the ground. This allows them to quickly take in water from even a light rain before it dries up. The cactus teaches us an important lesson: to survive difficult times, you need to change yourself and find your own way. It is not about being the biggest or the most beautiful. It is about being strong enough to face challenges. 36. What do most cacti have instead of broad leaves? A. Flowers. B. Spines. C. Fruits. D. Roots. 37. Where do cacti store water? A. In their leaves. B. In their roots. C. In their stems. D. In their flowers. 38. Why are cactus roots spread wide and near the surface? A. To protect themselves from animals. B. To take in water quickly when it rains. C. To store more water for dry seasons. D. To grow taller and stronger quickly. 39. What lesson does the cactus teach us according to the last paragraph? A. We should always be beautiful. B. We need to change to face challenges. C. We must live in hot places to be strong. D. We need more water to survive. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How cacti survive in dry places. B. Different kinds of cacti. C. Where cacti grow in the world. D. How to grow cacti at home. 【答案】36.B 37. C 38. B 39. B 40.

Compared with 55. expect 【导语】本文改编自散文《落花生》，通过将花生与苹果、其他植物做对比，点明花生果实埋于地下、外表普通但用途广泛的特点，传递出 “做人应务实有用、谦逊不张扬” 的核心主旨。 51. 句意：但与苹果不同，花生将果实藏在地下。 解析：根据前文 “Many people love apples for their beautiful look”，此处突出苹果（果实外露美观）与花生的生长差异。unlike 是介词，意为 “不像、与…… 不同”，后接名词 apples 构成介词短语作状语，契合两者对比的逻辑。 52. 句意：你看不到它们结出了什么果实。 解析：what 引导宾语从句，从句缺少谓语动词。bear 作动词可表示 “结（果实）”，what they bear 即 “它们结出的果实”，对应花生的生长特性，符合语境。 53. 句意：直到你把它们挖出来才能知晓。 解析：根据上文 “peanuts hide their fruits underground”，花生果实长在地下，需要挖掘才能看到。dig out 意为 “挖出、掘出”，作时间状语从句的谓语，符合动作逻辑。 54. 句意：和许多其他植物相比，花生并不算美观。 解析：此处将花生与其他植物的外观做比较，引出 “not very pretty” 的结论。compare with 意为 “与…… 相比较”，放在句首引出对比对象，承接后文对花生实用性的转折。 55. 句意：父母常期待自己的孩子像花生一样 —— 有用却不骄傲。 解析：expect sb. to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为 “期待某人做某事”，匹配后文 “to be like peanuts” 的结构，也契合文章借物喻人、点明育人道理的主旨。 五、阅读填空。（共 19 小题，56-63和65-74题1 分，64题2分，满分 20 分） A. 阅读下列短文，根据所读内容，在文章后56-63小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，回答64题问题，并将答案填写在答卷纸的相应位置上。 Zhang Guimei is a great teacher in Yunnan Province.
