Cooling down, of course. But if that’s all, wouldn’t a piece of paper work as well? Actually, fans are far more than just cooling tools. In history, they have played surprising roles. About 2000 years ago, fans first appeared to cool people or drive away insects. Later, they were also used in ceremonies (典礼), dances, plays and even wars! Worldwide, there were two main types of fans: the rigid fan and the folding fan. Rigid fans were commonly made of feathers, wood or bone. But folding fans were usually made of bamboo, paper or silk. China and Japan have rich fan culture. In both countries, educated people considered fans as a source (来源) of inspiration and a way to practice their calligraphy (书法). Fan painting then became an important art form. The surfaces were often painted with pictures of animals or plants. Asian fan culture found its way to Europe in the 16th century. In the 18th century, European ladies used fans creatively to send secret messages. A fan language developed based on how fans were opened, closed, held or moved. For example, by raising an open fan in the left hand to cover part of the face, the lady was saying “I’d like to meet you.” As fans spread across the world and played more roles, they became a cultural symbol and living bridge—connecting past and present, East and West, through their beauty and stories. 46. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By giving an example. 47. The materials of rigid fans usually include ________. ①feather ②bone ③bamboo ④silk A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 48. According to Paragraph 4, which picture shows “I’d like to meet you”? A. B. C. D. 49. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Fans came out around 2000 years ago. B. Fans were only used in ceremonies. C. Fan painting was from ancient Japan. D. European ladies enjoyed creating fans. 50. What would be the best title for the text? A. The spread of rigid and folding fans. B. Fans, the living bridges to the future. C. Japanese fan culture: shaping the world. D. From cooling tool to cultural symbol. 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了扇子不只是降温工具，在历史中扮演了多样且重要的角色。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What is a fan used for?”可知，作者通过提出问题，引出主题，开始这篇文章的。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rigid fans were commonly made of feathers, wood or bone.”可知，硬扇通常由羽毛、木材或骨头制成。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, by raising an open fan in the left hand to cover part of the face, the lady was saying ‘I’d like to meet you.’”可知，左手举扇子遮住脸的一部分，意思是“我想见见你”。对照图片，B符合。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About 2000 years ago, fans first appeared to cool people or drive away insects.”可知，扇子是大约2000年前发明的。故选A。 【50题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Actually, fans are far more than just cooling tools. In history, they have played surprising roles.”和“As fans spread across the world and played more roles, they became a cultural symbol and living bridge”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了扇子不只是降温工具，在历史中扮演了多样且重要的角色。选项D“从降温工具到文化象征”符合。故选D。 B I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house where I grew up burning to the ground. ① A few minutes earlier I was in bed when my grandma’s scream woke me up. A fire had broken out her room and woke her. Hearing her, my older brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything, the fire burned it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room. ② I stood there shivering (发抖). I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed (叹气). I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we lost all of our things. ③ The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered. ④ I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own. Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. 51. From the first two paragraphs, we can know ________. A. it didn’t take long to burn the house out B. we were all woken by the fire C. the fire happened in an early morning D. all of us tried to put out the fire 52. The sentence “As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time:” can be put at ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 53. The sentence “The things that matter” refers to (指的是) ________. A. what was going to happen B. the fire burned our house out C. my mom cried and my dad sighed D. we all survived and would stay together 54. Which sentence best expresses the central theme in the text? A. We were helpless because we had lost all of our things. B. Everything that was meaningful had survived the fire. C. The fire helped me to become the person who I am today. D. The love we share is far more important than what we own. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者一家在经历了一场大火后，失去了房子里的一切。可是，家人都还活着，让作者意识到以后的日子里大家会彼此相亲相爱的生活，大家会分享彼此的爱，这才是生活中最重要的。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Before we could do anything, the fire burned it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room.”可推知，从着火到房子被烧毁，并没有花很长时间。故选A。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive.”可知，这些是作者环顾四周后看到的，以及体会到的事情，因此该句放在第四段之前合适。故选C。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.”可知，经历了大火之后，作者发现重要的事情是大家都还活着，都还在一起。故选D。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own.”可知，作者认识到我们分享的爱远比我们拥有的东西重要。故选D。 C When her father died, Karen Wright was very worried. Her mother, Violet, was 72 years old. “Mom had always been full of energy and enthusiasm.” says Wright. “But after Dad died, she didn’t take care of herself and got sick a lot.” Wright’s mother didn’t feel that she had much to live for—except a dog named Buddy. “I never paid much attention to Buddy when my husband was alive,” says Violet. “But suddenly he depended on me for his survival.” Most people agree that a pet adds joy to a person’s life. This can be more true after a loved one dies. Scientists are now finding that having a pet may keep its owner healthy. And good health may add years to a person’s life. Scientists have been looking at the tie between pets and health for years. In 1990, a study was done with people who aged 65 and older. It showed that pet owners went to the doctor less than people without pets. Do pets make people happier? Do they help people live on their own longer? Are people able to handle their everyday lives better? Alan Beck is the head of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond. Beck says that if the answer to these questions is yes, then having pets may be a good idea. Can pets also help people live longer? Rebecca Johnson did a study to find out. She shared the findings of her study at a meeting about Pets and Aging. Her study shows that having pets may cause people to age more slowly. The human body makes many chemicals. Some of the chemicals make people feel good. Others make people feel bad. In Johnson’s study, levels of the “good” chemicals rose when people were around pets. Levels of the “bad” chemicals went down. The good chemicals seemed to slow the aging of cells. If this is true, maybe people should spend more time with their pets. Then the levels of good chemicals will go up. People might feel better and age more slowly. They might even live longer. Having pets may also be good for people in nursing homes. In a study of five nursing homes with pets, 25% fewer people stay in bed all day. And sores caused by being in bed were down 57%. Having pets around was good for the workers too. They missed work 48% less than before the pets came. Of course, you could be allergic (过敏的) to pets. Or you may not want to take care of a pet. Never fear. A robotic, or computer, pet may be just the thing for you. Scientists are testing computer pets, like the robotic dog AIBO. They want to see if computer pets can help people the way real dogs do. Will a robotic pet take the place of the pet pal snuggling with you on the sofa? Something tells us that the furry couch potato lying next to you has little to worry about. 55. What does the writer want to say through Violet’s experiences? A. Buddy added some joy to Violet’s life. B. Violet was too old to take care of herself. C. Violet depended on Karen for everything. D.

Born in a much ________ (wealthy) family, the girl has never been troubled by living costs abroad. 【答案】wealthier 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个女孩出生在一个富裕得多的家庭，在国外从未被生活费用困扰。根据“much”及句意，此处应用形容词比较级形式，表示“富裕得多”。wealthy的比较级是wealthier（辅音+y结尾，变y为i加er）。 85. Every day, Mr. Smith spends much time correcting our ________ (pronounce). 【答案】pronunciation 【解析】 【详解】句意：史密斯先生每天花很多时间纠正我们的发音。pronounce动词，表示“发音”；根据空前的“our”是形容词性物主代词，后接名词，故此处要用pronounce的名词形式。故填pronunciation。 86. The case is quite ________ (usual). No one knows how it happened. 【答案】unusual 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个情况相当不寻常，没人知道它是怎么发生的。usual“平常的、寻常的”，根据“No one knows how it happened.”可知，没人知道它是怎么发生的，说明情况是“不寻常的”，应用usual的反义词unusual“不寻常的、反常的”。 87. Bananas are the ________ biggest crop in the world. (four) 【答案】fourth 【解析】 【详解】句意：香蕉是世界上(产量)第四大的作物。根据“the”和“biggest”可知，空格处应使用序数词，表示“第……”，four的序数词为fourth。故填fourth。 88. Sometimes what others say can make us doubt ________. (we) 【答案】ourselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：有时别人的话会让我们怀疑自己。根据句子结构，“doubt”后接宾语，指“我们自己”，应使用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。 89. Free your mind from ________— most of them never happen. (worry) 【答案】worries 【解析】 【详解】句意：让你的心灵从这些担忧中解放出来——因为它们中的大多数永远不会发生。分析句子可知，“from”是介词，后接名词作宾语，后文“ them ”指代前文复数名词，因此“worry”需用复数形式。“worry”作“令人担忧的事”时，是可数名词，复数形式为“worries”。故填worries。 90. Many young people like to “enjoy life” even if they can’t ________ afford it. (true) 【答案】truly 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多年轻人即使不能真正负担得起，也喜欢“享受生活”。根据“Many young people like to “enjoy life” even if they can’t...afford it.”可知，这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“afford”，表示“真正地”能够负担得起。“true”是形容词，其副词形式是“truly”。故填truly。 91. There are many people ________ (imagine) living a brighter future, but they do nothing to improve themselves. 【答案】imagining 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多人想象着更光明的未来，却什么也不做来提升自己。imagine意为“想象”，是动词。分析句子结构，空处在there be句型中作后置定语，修饰people，表示“正在想象未来的”，应用现在分词形式。 92. The age of AI has begun. If it is used wisely, it ________ (play) a bigger role in healthcare, education and many other industries. 【答案】will play 【解析】 【详解】句意：人工智能时代已经开始。如果它被明智地使用，它将在医疗保健、教育以及许多其他行业发挥更大的作用。句中 “If it is used wisely” 为条件状语从句，遵循主将从现原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时。一般将来时的结构为 “will + 动词原形”，所以此处应填will play。 93. How excited we are! Dad ________ (promise) to take us to Harbin to experience ice and snow culture in the coming winter holiday. 【答案】has promised 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们太激动了！爸爸答应在即将到来的寒假带我们去哈尔滨体验冰雪文化。promise意为“承诺”，是动词。承诺发生在过去，但对现在造成影响（现在感到激动），应用现在完成时。主语Dad为第三人称单数，助动词用has，promise的过去分词为promised 八、同义句转换(每空一词) (本题共10小空；每小空0.5分，满分5分) 94. They set up some computers in the living room to work at home.(改为句意基本相同) They set up some computers in the living room _________ _________ they could work at home. 【答案】 ①. so ②. that 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们在客厅里安装了一些电脑，以便在家里工作。根据句意可知，装电脑是为了可以方便在家工作，改为同义句可以用so that“以便，为了”引导目的状语从句，故填so；that。 95.

Some students have ________ understanding why learning grammar ________ a lot to them. 【答案】 ①. difficulty##trouble##problems ②. means##matters 【解析】 【详解】句意：一些学生很难理解为什么学习语法对他们来说非常重要。表示“做某事有困难”，可用结构have difficulty/trouble/problems doing sth.；表示“对某人非常重要”，可用结构mean/matter a lot to sb.，句子用一般现在时，主语是动名词短语，谓语动词用单三。故填difficulty/trouble/problems；means/matters。 96. I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning. ________ was 5 a.m. ________ I woke up this morning. 【答案】 ①. It ②. when 【解析】 【详解】句意：我今天早上5点就醒了。原句中“woke up”是关键词，表明时态为一般过去时。这道题是将原句的时间状语改写为强调具体时间的固定句式，结构为“It was + 具体时间点 + when 从句”，用It指代时间，when引导时间状语从句，改写后语义和原句完全一致。 97. He was in another place when the crime happened. He was ________ _________ when the crime happened. 【答案】 ①. somewhere ②. else 【解析】 【详解】句意：案发时他在别的地方。原句中短语in another place表示“在另一个地方”，同义短语为somewhere else ，转换后句子保持一般过去时，只替换地点表达。 98.

Actually, fans are far more than just cooling tools. In history, they have played surprising roles. About 2000 years ago, fans first appeared to cool people or drive away insects. Later, they were also used in ceremonies (典礼), dances, plays and even wars! Worldwide, there were two main types of fans: the rigid fan and the folding fan. Rigid fans were commonly made of feathers, wood or bone. But folding fans were usually made of bamboo, paper or silk. China and Japan have rich fan culture. In both countries, educated people considered fans as a source (来源) of inspiration and a way to practice their calligraphy (书法). Fan painting then became an important art form. The surfaces were often painted with pictures of animals or plants. Asian fan culture found its way to Europe in the 16th century. In the 18th century, European ladies used fans creatively to send secret messages. A fan language developed based on how fans were opened, closed, held or moved. For example, by raising an open fan in the left hand to cover part of the face, the lady was saying “I’d like to meet you.” As fans spread across the world and played more roles, they became a cultural symbol and living bridge—connecting past and present, East and West, through their beauty and stories. 46. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By giving an example. 47. The materials of rigid fans usually include ________. ①feather ②bone ③bamboo ④silk A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 48. According to Paragraph 4, which picture shows “I’d like to meet you”? A. B. C. D. 49. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Fans came out around 2000 years ago. B. Fans were only used in ceremonies. C. Fan painting was from ancient Japan. D. European ladies enjoyed creating fans. 50. What would be the best title for the text? A. The spread of rigid and folding fans. B. Fans, the living bridges to the future. C. Japanese fan culture: shaping the world. D. From cooling tool to cultural symbol. B I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house where I grew up burning to the ground. ① A few minutes earlier I was in bed when my grandma’s scream woke me up. A fire had broken out her room and woke her. Hearing her, my older brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything, the fire burned it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room. ② I stood there shivering (发抖). I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed (叹气). I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we lost all of our things. ③ The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered. ④ I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own. Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. 51. From the first two paragraphs, we can know ________. A. it didn’t take long to burn the house out B. we were all woken by the fire C. the fire happened in an early morning D. all of us tried to put out the fire 52. The sentence “As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time:” can be put at ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 53. The sentence “The things that matter” refers to (指的是) ________. A. what was going to happen B. the fire burned our house out C. my mom cried and my dad sighed D. we all survived and would stay together 54. Which sentence best expresses the central theme in the text? A. We were helpless because we had lost all of our things. B. Everything that was meaningful had survived the fire. C. The fire helped me to become the person who I am today. D. The love we share is far more important than what we own. C When her father died, Karen Wright was very worried. Her mother, Violet, was 72 years old. “Mom had always been full of energy and enthusiasm.” says Wright. “But after Dad died, she didn’t take care of herself and got sick a lot.” Wright’s mother didn’t feel that she had much to live for—except a dog named Buddy. “I never paid much attention to Buddy when my husband was alive,” says Violet. “But suddenly he depended on me for his survival.” Most people agree that a pet adds joy to a person’s life. This can be more true after a loved one dies. Scientists are now finding that having a pet may keep its owner healthy. And good health may add years to a person’s life. Scientists have been looking at the tie between pets and health for years. In 1990, a study was done with people who aged 65 and older. It showed that pet owners went to the doctor less than people without pets. Do pets make people happier? Do they help people live on their own longer? Are people able to handle their everyday lives better? Alan Beck is the head of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond. Beck says that if the answer to these questions is yes, then having pets may be a good idea. Can pets also help people live longer? Rebecca Johnson did a study to find out. She shared the findings of her study at a meeting about Pets and Aging. Her study shows that having pets may cause people to age more slowly. The human body makes many chemicals. Some of the chemicals make people feel good. Others make people feel bad. In Johnson’s study, levels of the “good” chemicals rose when people were around pets. Levels of the “bad” chemicals went down. The good chemicals seemed to slow the aging of cells. If this is true, maybe people should spend more time with their pets. Then the levels of good chemicals will go up. People might feel better and age more slowly. They might even live longer. Having pets may also be good for people in nursing homes. In a study of five nursing homes with pets, 25% fewer people stay in bed all day. And sores caused by being in bed were down 57%. Having pets around was good for the workers too. They missed work 48% less than before the pets came. Of course, you could be allergic (过敏的) to pets. Or you may not want to take care of a pet. Never fear. A robotic, or computer, pet may be just the thing for you. Scientists are testing computer pets, like the robotic dog AIBO. They want to see if computer pets can help people the way real dogs do. Will a robotic pet take the place of the pet pal snuggling with you on the sofa? Something tells us that the furry couch potato lying next to you has little to worry about. 55. What does the writer want to say through Violet’s experiences? A. Buddy added some joy to Violet’s life. B. Violet was too old to take care of herself. C. Violet depended on Karen for everything. D. Buddy mattered much to Violet’s husband. 56. What can we learn about people aged 65 or more from the study in 1990? A. Keeping pets helped them live longer. B. Pet owners could deal with problems better. C. Keeping pets had nothing to do with their health. D. Pet owners needed less medical care than non-pet owners. 57. Which opinion is Johnsan’s finding on having pets? A. It may reduce the chance of going to bed. B. It may teach nurses to care for older people. C. It may increase the level of “good” chemicals. D. It may stop the producing of “bad” chemicals. 58. How does the writer make Paragraph 6 powerful? A. By telling stories. B. By asking questions. C. By giving the reason. D. By making comparison. D Nowadays, more and more people like ready-to-cook meals (预制菜). Ready-to-cook meals are everywhere. You can see them in supermarkets, in online orders, and even in convenience stores. What are they? They are pre-made dishes. Workers wash, cut and cook the food first. Then, people buy them and only need to heat or cook a little to eat. Why are ready-to-cook meals popular? First, people are busy. Ready-to-cook meals save time. Second, they are easy to make. Even students can heat them for a quick dinner. Third, there are many kinds, like braised pork (红烧肉) and kung pao chicken. But some people worry about them. They think the meals have too many additives (添加剂). Other people say they lose nutrients (营养). But scientists say, if the additives meet the rules, they are safe. And choosing meals that go bad fast is better for nutrition. How to choose good ready-to-cook meals? Look at the food list. Pick meals with simple food materials. Also, check the nutrition paper. Try to avoid meals with too much oil or salt. The government is helping this kind of food develop well. It makes rules to keep the meals safe, like checking additives and letting us know what’s in the food clearly. 59. What do people need to do before eating ready-to-cook meals? A. Wash and cut them. B. Buy fresh fruit. C. Cook them for long. D. Heat or cook a little. 60. Which is NOT a reason for the popularity (流行性) of ready-to-cook meals? A. They save time. B. They are easy to make. C. They are very cheap. D. They have many kinds. 61. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. people. B. ready-to-cook meals. C. additives. D. rules. 62. How can we choose good ready-to-cook meals? A. Check the nutrition paper. B. Buy meals with much oil. C. Pick meals with many additives. D. Choose meals that go bad slowly. 63. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us how to cook ready-to-cook meals better. B. To discuss whether ready-to-cook meals are good choices. C. To compare ready-to-cook meals with home-made meals. D. To explain the reasons why ready-to-cook meals are popular. 第二部分 非选择题(65分) 五、任务型阅读 (本题共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.
