The first porcelain in China was made in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The main material of porcelain is clay and the surface of it is glaze (釉). Both need to be fired at a high temperature. During Tang and Song dynasties, porcelain was the earliest customized luxury (奢侈) goods that were sold abroad so China was called “a nation of porcelain”. The Legend of Silk The invention of silk is said to date back 5,000 years. The wife of Emperor Huang, Leizu, brought the sericulture (养蚕) technology to the central China. In ancient times, silk was usually made from real silk thread spat (吐) by silkworms. Silk was soft, smooth and light, so it was often used in clothing, writing, fishing and instruments. It was valuable in ancient Chinese societies and trade networks. The Four Treasures of the Study Proudly, the four treasures of the study were all invented in China. They include the brush, ink, Xuan paper and inkstone. The brush serves as the primary tool for writing and is cherished for its graceful strokes (笔触). Ink, as the material for writing, remains its deep and pleasant smell through the time. Xuan paper, where the characters are written, is light yet strong. The inkstone comes in different shapes. It is used to grind (磨) the ink before writing. 26. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A. TECHNOLOGY B. HISTORY C. CULTURE D. TRAVEL 27. It’s clear that porcelain ________.

But in fact, you’ve fallen into a world of miniatures of Chinese houses in the countryside made by a miniature artist-Li Yizhong. Li used to be a building sculptor (雕塑师) in Jinan. His friend once asked Li to make a miniature of his childhood home. The artist posted a video of his finished product on the Internet. To his surprise, many people expressed their love for his work. From then on, Li decided to make miniature homes for others. Growing up in a farming family, he knew so well about everything in his hometown that many of his works remind him of these beautiful memories. ★ It usually takes one to two months to complete one model. Each model is made in the ratio (比例) of 1: 30 to the home’s real size. To better remake the old house, Li first makes a deep research about the details of the house. Then, he prepares hundreds of small pieces and about 50 real building materials, such as wood board, paper, and cement (水泥). Next, he uses those materials to complete the mini model. Finally, he focuses on how to make the model look old. Those lively miniatures call up people’s memories living in the countryside and deepen the warm family love as well. 31.

But in fact, you’ve fallen into a world of miniatures of Chinese houses in the countryside made by a miniature artist-Li Yizhong.”可知，石墙、院子、挂在晒衣绳上的衣服……乍一看，你可能以为它们是真的。但事实上，你已经进入了一个由微型艺术家李毅中制作的中国乡村房屋的微型世界。因此微型应是老房子的模型。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The artist posted a video of his finished product on the Internet. To his surprise, many people expressed their love for his work. From then on, Li decided to make miniature homes for others.”可知，他的作品被上传至网上受到很多人的喜爱，因此李毅决定做微型房屋是因为他上传视频的点击率。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Growing up in a farming family, he knew so well about everything in his hometown that many of his works remind him of these beautiful memories…It usually takes one to two months to complete one model.

Then, he prepares hundreds of small pieces and about 50 real building materials, such as wood board, paper, and cement (水泥). Next, he uses those materials to complete the mini model. Finally, he focuses on how to make the model look old.”可知，李首先对房子的细节进行了深入的研究；然后，他准备了数百个小块和大约50种真正的建筑材料，如木板、纸、水泥(水泥)；接下来，他使用这些材料来完成迷你模型；最后，他着重于如何使模型看起来很老。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，文章主要讲述了中国微型艺术家杜毅制作微型房屋的故事，这些微型模型虽然小，但却唤起了人们在农村生活的回忆，也加深了温暖的亲情。因此选项D“小作品，甜蜜回忆”可作为文章的最佳标题。故选D。 C If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of Shakespeare’s greatest play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d travel far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and came out in 1895. It was adapted (改编) into at least two films of the same name, as well as two television versions and a large number of comic book adaptations. The term “time machine”, put forward by H.G.Well, now generally refers to a vehicle (交通工具) transporting people into the far future. ___★____ Some scientists say yes. They suggest using cracks (裂缝) in time and space called “wormholes”, which could serve as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory (理论) of relativity allows time travel in extreme cases. And Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light, though building such a spaceship wouldn’t of course be simple. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reasons, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? In H.G. Wells’s book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then travels 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles (触角). If that’s what’s in store, maybe we’re better just living in the present day after all. 36. The author starts the passage by _________. A. expressing his opinion B. raising questions C. telling stories D. giving suggestions 37. Why does the author mention The Time Machine in Para. 2? A. To tell the development history of time travel. B. To introduce how the time machine works. C. To praise H.G. Wells’s achievement. D. To show people’s interest in time travel. 38. Which of the following can be put in ____★_____? A. Would you really like to visit the future? B. But could time travel actually be possible? C. What kind of vehicle can transport people through time? D. Could wormholes hold the secret to faster-than-light travel? 39. The underlined phrase “grandfather paradox” in Para.4 probably means “_________”. A. the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible B. the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather C. the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather means a lot D. the traveler goes back in time to look for his grandfather 40. What’s the author’s attitude towards time travel? A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了时间旅行的概念、历史以及相关的科学理论。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you could travel in time, where would you go?”可知，作者通过提出一系列问题来引入话题，故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and came out in 1895. It was adapted into at least two films of the same name, as well as two television versions and a large number of comic book adaptations.”可知，提到《时间机器》多次被改编为电影、电视剧和漫画，说明这一题材广受关注，体现人们对时间旅行的兴趣，故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Some scientists say yes. They suggest using cracks in time and space called ‘wormholes’, which could serve as shortcuts to other periods.”可知，后文转向科学角度，讨论虫洞、相对论等理论，属于从文学想象过渡到现实可能性，故此处应提出“时间旅行是否可能”的问题，选项B最贴合上下文逻辑。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reasons, and therefore prevent himself from being born.”可知，“祖父悖论”指时间旅行者若阻止祖父存在，则自身也无法出生，形成逻辑矛盾。选项A准确概括了这一悖论的核心。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If that’s what’s in store, maybe we’re better just living in the present day after all.”可知，作者对时间旅行持怀疑态度，认为与其冒险，不如活在当下。因此，作者对时间旅行的态度是怀疑的，故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使每个句子在结构、句意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) lasts / dangerous / choose / instead / known / stay out of / enjoyable Wake up early enough and you will hear a pleasant voice of birds. It is natural for them, but why? This singing is ____41____ as the dawn chorus (清晨鸟鸣). It starts as early as 4:00 am and ____42____ for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates (配偶) and warn other birds to ____43____ their turf (地盘). Why they communicate the messages is that the dark early morning makes it hard to do other activities. They choose to sing, ____44____. Some think that birds use their singing to tell the world that they have managed to go through ____45____ nights for an excellent mate. 【答案】41. known 42. lasts 43. stay out of 44. instead 45. dangerous 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了鸟类清晨鸣叫的原因。 【41题详解】 句意：这种鸣叫被称作清晨鸟鸣。根据句意和所给词语，此处考查固定短语be known as，意为“被叫作、被称为”。 【42题详解】 句意：它凌晨四点就开始，并且持续好几个小时。根据“for several hours”和所给词语，lasts“持续”符合语境，lasts是last的第三人称单数形式，句子陈述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语It是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 【43题详解】 句意：鸟儿鸣叫是为了吸引配偶，并且警告其他鸟类远离自己的地盘。根据“warn other birds to…their turf”和所给词语，stay out of符合语境，意为“避开、远离”；warn sb. to do sth.是固定短语，意为“警告某人做某事”，to后接动词原形构成动词不定式。 【44题详解】 句意：它们转而选择鸣叫。前文“the dark early morning makes it hard to do other activities”提到清晨太黑没法做其他事，取而代之只能鸣叫，结合所给词语，instead“反而；转而”符合语境，作副词，表示“取而代之”。 【45题详解】 句意：有人认为，鸟类用它们的歌声告诉世界，它们成功熬过危险的夜晚，为了吸引一个优秀的配偶。此处需要填入形容词修饰名词nights，结合“they have managed to go through”和所给词语，dangerous符合语境，意为“危险的”。 六、综合填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 It was at an exhibition of the artist’s works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest ____46____ (attend) the exhibition. During this period, two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked me for my signature (签名). “Ι ____47____ (not bring) my pen. Is the pencil okay?” Actually, I knew they wouldn’t refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writer’s good manners to these common ____48____ (read). “Certainly,” the young girls ____49____ (ready) agreed. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me feel ____50____ (please) and satisfied. One of the girls’ notebooks ____51____ (hand) to me. I turned over the cover of the notebook, wrote a few ____52____ (word) of encouragement naturally, and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned (皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Aren’t you Robert Charboss?” “No,” I told her proudly. “I’m the author of Alice Adams, the ____53____ (win) of two Pulitzer Prizes.” The young girl turned to the other shrugged (耸肩) and said, “Mary, lend your rubber to me.” At that moment, all my pride turned into a bubble (泡泡) immediately. ____54____ then, I have always warned myself: no matter ____55____ outstanding you are, don’t think highly of yourself. 【答案】46. to attend 47. haven’t brought 48. readers 49. readily 50. pleased##more pleased 51. was handed 52. words 53. winner 54. Since 55. how 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了在一次作品展览会上，两个可爱的女孩让作者为她们签名，作者便用铅笔签好了名，可当她们得知作者不是她们想要签名的作家之后，一个女孩擦掉了作者的签名。这让作者明白：不管你多么杰出，都不要高看自己。 【46题详解】 句意：我作为特邀嘉宾受邀参加了这次展览。attend“出席，参加”，动词，又根据“I was invited as a special guest…”及语境可知，此处应表示被邀请的目的或意图，即“作为特邀嘉宾”的目的是“参加展览”，应用其对应的动词不定式作目的状语。故填to attend。 【47题详解】 句意：我没带钢笔。bring“带来，拿来”，动词，又结合语境及后句“Is the pencil okay”可知，此处在描述作者没有带钢笔，对话中应用现在完成时表示对当时的影响，其结构为“have/has (not) done sth.”，且主语I为第一人称，助动词应用haven’t，且bring的过去分词形式为brought。故填haven’t brought。 【48题详解】 句意：我只是想向读者展示一个知名作家的良好举止。read“阅读”，动词，又根据“show a well-known writer’s good manners to these common…”可知，此处指作家向“读者们”展示的良好举止，应用其对应的名词复数形式readers“读者们”表泛指。故填readers。 【49题详解】 句意：“当然可以。”这些年轻女孩欣然表示同意。ready“乐意的”，形容词，又根据“the young girls…agreed”及语境可知，该句结构完整，应用其对应的副词形式readily“乐意地，欣然地”修饰动词agreed。故填readily。 【50题详解】 句意：当然，她们的兴奋之情也让我感到(更加)愉悦和满足。please“使开心，使满意”，根据“their excitement also made me feel…and satisfied”及语境可知，此处应指来找作者签名的女孩们所表现出来的兴奋之情让作者感到(比之前更)愉悦，应用其对应的形容词原级或形容词比较级与之搭配。故填pleased/more pleased。 【51题详解】 句意：其中一个女孩的笔记本被递给了我。hand“交，递”，动词，主语“笔记本”与谓语动词“递”表示被动关系，且本文描述的过去发生的事，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were done sth.”，主语“One of the girls’ notebooks”表示单数概念，be动词应用was。故填was handed。 【52题详解】 句意：我掀开笔记本的封面，随意写了几句鼓励的话，然后签上了自己的名字。word“字，词，单词”，可数名词，又结合“wrote a few…of encouragement”及语境可知，作者应是写了一些鼓励的“话”，应用其对应的名词复数形式表泛指。故填words。 【53题详解】 句意：我是《爱丽丝·亚当斯》的作者，曾两次获得普利策奖。win“赢得”，动词，又结合“the…of two Pulitzer Prizes”及常识可知，作者在向两位女孩介绍自己是两项普利策奖的“获得者”，应用其对应的名词单数形式winner“优胜者，获胜者”与之搭配。故填winner。 【54题详解】 句意：从那以后，我总是告诫自己：无论你多么出色，都不要自视过高。根据“…then”及“I have always warned myself”可知，作者描述完此次事件后并进行了总结，此处描述的动作或状态是从过去某个时间点延续至今的场景，应用since与之搭配，“since then”表示“从那以后”，且句首首字母大写。故填Since。 【55题详解】 句意：从那以后，我总是告诫自己：无论你多么出色，都不要自视过高。结合“no matter…outstanding you are”可知，空后outstanding为“形容词，此处应用疑问副词how引导让步状语从句，表示无论如何，不管多么”。故填how。 七、书面表达（共1大题，满分20分） 56. 假如你是李华，本周学校将迎来一位来自英国的交换生Tony。他发来电子邮件，想了解一些关于武汉、中文学习方法和中国节日等方面的信息。请根据以下内容提示，给Tony回封邮件。 内容提示： What do you think of Wuhan and people here?

The first porcelain in China was made in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The main material of porcelain is clay and the surface of it is glaze (釉). Both need to be fired at a high temperature. During Tang and Song dynasties, porcelain was the earliest customized luxury (奢侈) goods that were sold abroad so China was called “a nation of porcelain”. The Legend of Silk The invention of silk is said to date back 5,000 years. The wife of Emperor Huang, Leizu, brought the sericulture (养蚕) technology to the central China. In ancient times, silk was usually made from real silk thread spat (吐) by silkworms. Silk was soft, smooth and light, so it was often used in clothing, writing, fishing and instruments. It was valuable in ancient Chinese societies and trade networks. The Four Treasures of the Study Proudly, the four treasures of the study were all invented in China. They include the brush, ink, Xuan paper and inkstone. The brush serves as the primary tool for writing and is cherished for its graceful strokes (笔触). Ink, as the material for writing, remains its deep and pleasant smell through the time. Xuan paper, where the characters are written, is light yet strong. The inkstone comes in different shapes. It is used to grind (磨) the ink before writing. 26. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A. TECHNOLOGY B. HISTORY C. CULTURE D. TRAVEL 27. It’s clear that porcelain ________. A. is only made of clay and glaze B. was popular with common people in the Tang Dynasty C. was first traded during the Eastern Han Dynasty D. was connected to the overseas trade 28. Silk was found valuable because ________. A. it served in many parts of society B. it was the softest and lightest material C. the silkworms were hard to raise D. it’s one of the earliest luxury goods 29. How can people use “the four treasures of the study”? ① Wash the brush with the inkstone. ② Write on the silk. ③ Grind the smelly inkstone. ④ Grind the ink. ⑤ Hold the brush with ink. ⑥ Lay out the Xuan paper and write. A. ③④⑤ B. ①③⑥ C. ②③⑥ D. ④⑤⑥ 30. Through the news above, the writer might want to introduce ________. A. Emperor Huang’s story B. inventions in ancient China C. the rise of ancient Chinese trade D. the wisdom of Chinese people B The stone walls, the yard, clothes hung on a clothesline…At the first sight, you may think they’re real. But in fact, you’ve fallen into a world of miniatures of Chinese houses in the countryside made by a miniature artist-Li Yizhong. Li used to be a building sculptor (雕塑师) in Jinan. His friend once asked Li to make a miniature of his childhood home. The artist posted a video of his finished product on the Internet. To his surprise, many people expressed their love for his work. From then on, Li decided to make miniature homes for others. Growing up in a farming family, he knew so well about everything in his hometown that many of his works remind him of these beautiful memories. ★ It usually takes one to two months to complete one model. Each model is made in the ratio (比例) of 1: 30 to the home’s real size. To better remake the old house, Li first makes a deep research about the details of the house. Then, he prepares hundreds of small pieces and about 50 real building materials, such as wood board, paper, and cement (水泥). Next, he uses those materials to complete the mini model. Finally, he focuses on how to make the model look old. Those lively miniatures call up people’s memories living in the countryside and deepen the warm family love as well. 31. According to the passage, the miniatures are _________. A. models of old houses B. places for people to live in C. the buildings in the country D. an artist’s childhood homes 32. What made Li decide to make miniature homes? A. His childhood memories. B. His love for his work. C. The hit of his posted video. D. Many people’s surprise. 33. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. He spent much money on them. B. How he misses the old days! C. His works are popular with the old. D. But making miniatures is not easy. 34. What are the steps of Li’s remaking the old house? ①making the model look aged ②doing enough research ③working on building the model ④choosing proper materials A. ④①②③ B. ②①④③ C. ②4③① D. ③②①④ 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Success of Li Yizhong B. Old Buildings, New Challenges C. Story of the Childhood D. Small Works, Sweet Memories C If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of Shakespeare’s greatest play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d travel far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and came out in 1895. It was adapted (改编) into at least two films of the same name, as well as two television versions and a large number of comic book adaptations. The term “time machine”, put forward by H.G.Well, now generally refers to a vehicle (交通工具) transporting people into the far future. ___★____ Some scientists say yes. They suggest using cracks (裂缝) in time and space called “wormholes”, which could serve as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory (理论) of relativity allows time travel in extreme cases. And Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light, though building such a spaceship wouldn’t of course be simple. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reasons, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? In H.G. Wells’s book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then travels 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles (触角). If that’s what’s in store, maybe we’re better just living in the present day after all. 36. The author starts the passage by _________. A. expressing his opinion B. raising questions C. telling stories D. giving suggestions 37. Why does the author mention The Time Machine in Para. 2? A. To tell the development history of time travel. B. To introduce how the time machine works. C. To praise H.G. Wells’s achievement. D. To show people’s interest in time travel. 38. Which of the following can be put in ____★_____? A. Would you really like to visit the future? B. But could time travel actually be possible? C. What kind of vehicle can transport people through time? D. Could wormholes hold the secret to faster-than-light travel? 39. The underlined phrase “grandfather paradox” in Para.4 probably means “_________”. A. the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible B. the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather C. the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather means a lot D. the traveler goes back in time to look for his grandfather 40. What’s the author’s attitude towards time travel? A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使每个句子在结构、句意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) lasts / dangerous / choose / instead / known / stay out of / enjoyable Wake up early enough and you will hear a pleasant voice of birds.
