● 10:15 a.m.
Our daily sea lion show begins! Our visitors are always surprised by the cleverness of these animals. Through our shows, they also learn how to help protect sea animals.
● 2:20 p.m.
We train the other animals, including the river otters (河獭) and the ravens (渡鸦) . Neither rain nor cold can keep us from our duties. We care for the animals 365 days a year.

C
①What will our life be like in 50 years? Although we don’t know the answer, we believe that it will be very different from the life today. In the future, I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there.
②First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships (宇宙飞船) are too slow to carry lots of people to space—it takes months. However, in the future, it will take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship!
③Life on Mars may allow people to have more free time. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies.
④How about the food, water, and air people need to live? Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now.
⑤There are also some problems for us. Mars pulls us much less than the earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight. What’s more, food will look like pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travel may make many people feel ill.
43. What will the future spaceship be like?
A. It will be much slower. B. It will become much faster.
C. It will be more expensive. D. It can carry people to any place.
44. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?
A. Flying away into space. B. Becoming much heavier.
C. Looking more beautiful. D. Eating too many pills.
45. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?
A. B.
C. D.
46. Who may be interested in this passage?
A. Miss Xie, a traveller, who tries to fly around the world.
B. Ms Liang, a reporter, who loves reading history books.

One day an old lady was in a shop. She saw a beautiful teacup (茶杯). She took it up and said to herself, “What a beautiful teacup! I love it.” Suddenly the teacup spoke, “Thank you, lady. But I was just some clay (陶土) a few days ago. Would you like to listen to my story?” The old lady was in surprise, but she soon answered, “Oh, dear! Go ahead.”
“A few days ago, I was red and I was clay. An old man took me and patted (拍打) me over and over and I shouted, ‘Let me alone.’ But he only smiled, ‘Not yet!’” “Then he put me on a wheel and spun (旋转) me around and around. ‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy (眩晕的)!’ I cried. But the old man only said, ‘Not yet.’”
“Then he put me in the oven (炉子). It was too hot. I wanted to know why he wanted to burn me, and I knocked at the door and shouted. I could hear him saying the same word.”
“Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and let me cool down. He placed me in front of a mirror and said, ‘Look at yourself.’ And I did. I said, ‘That couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.’”
“Then the old man said, ‘I know it hurt to be patted. It made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel. It was extremely hot to be in the oven. If I didn’t do those things, you wouldn’t be such a beautiful teacup as you are now.’”
47. The teacup was only some ________ a few days ago.
A. clay B. glass C. sand D. plastic
48. According to the story, which is the right order to show how the old man made the teacup?
a.Took it out and cooled it down.
b.Patted it over and over again.
c.Put it in an oven and burnt it.
d.Put it on a wheel and spun it.
A. b-d-a-c B. b-d-c-a C. d-b-a-c D. d-b-c-a
49. What can we infer (推断) about the process (步骤) of making a teacup?
A. It is a very simple and easy process.
B. The spinning process is not important.
C. The whole process is hard for the clay.
D. The clay enjoys being spun around.
【答案】47. A 48. B 49. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,通过茶杯的自述讲述了一块陶土经过拍打、旋转、烧制等过程最终变成美丽茶杯的历程。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But I was just some clay a few days ago.”可知,茶杯最初是陶土制成的。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根“An old man took me and patted me over and over”可知,老人拍打陶土,对应b;根据“Then he put me on a wheel and spun me around”可知,放在转轮上旋转,对应d;根据“Then he put me in the oven”可知,放入炉子烧制,对应c;根据“The door opened and he took me out and let me cool down”可知,取出冷却,对应a。正确顺序为b-d-c-a。故选B。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据“I shouted, ‘Let me alone.’...‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy!’”可知,陶土感到痛苦和眩晕;根据“It was too hot...I knocked at the door and shouted”可知,烧制过程极其煎熬;根据“I know it hurt...If I didn’t do those things, you wouldn’t be beautiful”可知,过程虽艰难但必要。由此可推知,制作过程对陶土而言非常艰难。故选C。

Some parents think their children should play a lot in their childhood (童年) , so they seldom let them do housework. While some parents think children should learn useful things, they teach their children to do chores by themselves early. A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits that helping out with chores brings to children.
Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems.
Doing chores also helps children learn to respect others’ work. If they are asked to clean the house, they might know better about the mess they make. They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy.
Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to find time to do them all. They may have some problems when doing them. By doing housework, they can calm down and think clearly. This helps them know what the important thing is and how to use their time well.

52. What’s the best title of the text?

C. Benefits of Doing Chores D. Learning to Plan Time through Chores
【答案】50. D 51. B 52. C
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕孩子做家务展开,先列举两类家长截然不同的观点,再结合一项研究,从掌握生活技能、学会尊重他人劳动、学会管理时间三个方面介绍做家务带给孩子的好处。
【50题详解】
根据第一段中“Some parents think their children should play a lot...While some parents think children should learn useful things...”可知,作者通过对比两种父母不同的观点来引入话题。
【51题详解】
根据画线词所在句后的解释“There are a lot of things to do every day...how to use their time well.”可知,此处指帮助孩子更好地安排或“管理”时间。
【52题详解】
文章第一段末尾提到“Here are some benefits that helping out with chores brings to children.”,随后第二、三、四段分别阐述了做家务对生活技能、尊重他人和时间管理的好处。因此,全文主要讲的是做家务的好处。

From an early age, Fiona tried to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party and occasionally (偶尔) gave presents to everybody.
However, everything changed on International Day of Friendship. In class that day, everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from all her classmates. But when all the presents had been made and shared out, she was the only one that didn’t receive a present! Fiona hadn’t expected this and felt terrible. Crying for hours, everyone came to comfort her, but each stayed only a short time before leaving—just as she had done to others so many times. She realized she was a good companion (伙伴), but she hadn’t been a true friend to anyone.
That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care.”
Hearing this, Fiona decided to change her ways to finally have some true friends.
53. How did Fiona try to treat everyone? (不超过10个词)
__________________________________________________________________________________

【53题详解】
根据“From an early age, Fiona tried to be kind and friendly to everyone.”可知,Fiona试图以友善的方式对待每个人。故填She/Fiona tried to be kind and friendly (to everyone).
【54题详解】
根据“But when all the presents had been made and shared out, she was the only one that didn’t receive a present!”可知,Fiona当天没有收到一份礼物。故填Zero./0./Fiona didn’t receive a present.
【55题详解】
根据“If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care.”可知,如果想拥有真正的朋友,就必须给予他们时间和真正的关心。故填We should/must give them time and real care.

Zookeeper for One Day: Caring for Animals
● Site: Smithsonian’s National Zoo
● Time: October 24th, 2023 6:30-18:30
● Ticket: 5 yuan per person
This week’s after-school activity is coming! This time we will go into the animal world. Visitors love to see the active animals. However, they may not know the hard work of the zookeepers.

● 7:00 a.m.
The first thing we do in the morning is to check (查看) on all the animals. We should make sure everyone appears healthy. Our North American beavers (河狸) are active at night. We should give them a quick hello and try not to trouble their rest.
● 10:15 a.m.
Our daily sea lion show begins! Our visitors are always surprised by the cleverness of these animals. Through our shows, they also learn how to help protect sea animals.
● 2:20 p.m.
We train the other animals, including the river otters (河獭) and the ravens (渡鸦) . Neither rain nor cold can keep us from our duties. We care for the animals 365 days a year.
● More Information: Call us at 8065-7981 during 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

①What will our life be like in 50 years? Although we don’t know the answer, we believe that it will be very different from the life today. In the future, I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there.
②First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships (宇宙飞船) are too slow to carry lots of people to space—it takes months. However, in the future, it will take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship!
③Life on Mars may allow people to have more free time. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies.
④How about the food, water, and air people need to live? Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now.
⑤There are also some problems for us. Mars pulls us much less than the earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight. What’s more, food will look like pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travel may make many people feel ill.

One day an old lady was in a shop. She saw a beautiful teacup (茶杯). She took it up and said to herself, “What a beautiful teacup! I love it.” Suddenly the teacup spoke, “Thank you, lady. But I was just some clay (陶土) a few days ago. Would you like to listen to my story?” The old lady was in surprise, but she soon answered, “Oh, dear! Go ahead.”
“A few days ago, I was red and I was clay. An old man took me and patted (拍打) me over and over and I shouted, ‘Let me alone.’ But he only smiled, ‘Not yet!’” “Then he put me on a wheel and spun (旋转) me around and around. ‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy (眩晕的)!’ I cried. But the old man only said, ‘Not yet.’”

“Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and let me cool down. He placed me in front of a mirror and said, ‘Look at yourself.’ And I did. I said, ‘That couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.’”
“Then the old man said, ‘I know it hurt to be patted. It made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel. It was extremely hot to be in the oven. If I didn’t do those things, you wouldn’t be such a beautiful teacup as you are now.’”

Some parents think their children should play a lot in their childhood (童年) , so they seldom let them do housework. While some parents think children should learn useful things, they teach their children to do chores by themselves early. A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits that helping out with chores brings to children.
Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems.
Doing chores also helps children learn to respect others’ work. If they are asked to clean the house, they might know better about the mess they make. They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy.
Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to find time to do them all. They may have some problems when doing them. By doing housework, they can calm down and think clearly. This helps them know what the important thing is and how to use their time well.

From an early age, Fiona tried to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party and occasionally (偶尔) gave presents to everybody.
However, everything changed on International Day of Friendship. In class that day, everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from all her classmates. But when all the presents had been made and shared out, she was the only one that didn’t receive a present! Fiona hadn’t expected this and felt terrible. Crying for hours, everyone came to comfort her, but each stayed only a short time before leaving—just as she had done to others so many times. She realized she was a good companion (伙伴), but she hadn’t been a true friend to anyone.
That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care.”
Hearing this, Fiona decided to change her ways to finally have some true friends.
