Which hotel faces Orchard Hotel? A. First Hotel B. Osaka Hotel C. Fariview Hotel D. No hotel B How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea. First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use. Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter. Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park? Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money. Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further. 54. Some people want to change the park into __________. A. a golf club B. a golf course C. a park D. a skating place 55. According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children A. go to get some exercise B. fall in love with golf C. play video games at home D. go to the street and make friends 56. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 57. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage? A. To help carry out further plans. B. To make the park more beautiful. C. To encourage children to go skating. D. To stop the golf course from being built. C If you’ve never heard of mineral-color painting (岩彩画), you’re not alone. This form of art is unknown to most people—even many art lovers. It is an ancient form of painting that is being given new life these days. This kind of art is created using materials like rock powder (粉末), colored soil and sand. It can be traced back to the 3rd-century Kucha Grotto murals (龟兹石窟壁画) of Xinjiang. Yet after the Song and Yuan dynasties, with ink wash painting becoming more and more popular, mineral-color art gradually fell out of fashion. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, some countries sent envoys (使节) to China to learn all kinds of things. “They loved mineral-color art and took the art form back to their own country,” said Miao Tong. The artist has been studying this traditional art form for years. In the 1980s, many Chinese artists decided to revive this traditional art form in China. In the 1990s, they renamed it “mineral-color art”. For Miao, the greatest joy in his work is to find the “right earth” to make mineral pigments (颜料). “Every year I go to Wuyi Mountain. It is known for its Danxia land formation (丹霞地貌),” he said. “You can’t imagine how beautiful the earth is there. It is naturally colored in red, green, yellow, purple, etc.” But this soil cannot be directly applied to his works. It first has to go through a number of steps, including washing, filtering (过滤) and sun-drying. After that the soil will be mixed together with a certain kind of glue. According to the artist, one mineral-color painting may take several weeks to several months to complete. The mineral pigments are able to stay safe from the effects of UV light (紫外线). Therefore, their color does not fade (褪色) over time. That’s why, even after thousands of years, the cave paintings in the Kucha Grottos are still very bright and colorful. 58. When did mineral-color painting first appear in the history of China? A. In the third century. B. In the 1980s. C. During the Sui and Tang dynasties. D. In the Song and Yuan dynasties. 59. What does the underlined word “revive” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. give up B. give new life C. decorate once more D. give a new name 60. What does Paragraph 6 mainly tell us? A. Where to find the right earth. B. How to make the special soil. C. How to draw a mineral-color painting. D. When to get a a mineral-color painting. 61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It always takes many years to make a a mineral-color painting. B. People in the Song dynasty liked ink wash paintings very much. C. In Xinjiang people can find natural earth with all kinds of colours. D. Mineral-color paintings can keep the colour as it is for a long time. D One day, as Robert was rambling (闲逛), he happened to cry out, “Ho, ho!” At once he heard coming back from a hill nearby, the same words, “Ho, ho!” In great surprise, he said with a loud voice, “Who are you?” Upon this, the same words came back, “Who are you?” Robert now cried out loudly, “You must be a very foolish fellow.” “Foolish fellow!” came back from the hill. Robert became angry, and with loud and rude words went toward the place where the sounds came. The words all came back to him in the same angry tone. He then went into the bushes, and looked for the boy who, as he thought, was mocking (嘲弄) him; but he could find nobody anywhere. When he went home, he told his mother that some boy had hidden himself in the wood, for the purpose of mocking him. “Robert,” said his mother, “You are angry with yourself alone. You heard nothing but your own words.” “Why, mother, how can that be?” said Robert. “Did you never hear an echo?” asked his mother. “An echo, dear mother? No, ma’am. What is it?” “I will tell you,” said his mother. “You know, when you play with your ball, and throw it against the side of a house, it bounds back to you.” “Yes, mother,” said he, “and I catch it again.” “Well,” said his mother, “If I were in the open air, by the side of a hill or a large barn, and should speak very loud, my voice would be sent back, so that I could hear again the very words which I spoke.” “That, my son, is an echo. When you thought someone was mocking you, it was only the hill before you, echoing, or sending back, your own voice.” “The bad boy, as you thought it was, spoke no more angrily than yourself. If you had spoken kindly, you would have heard a kind reply.” “Had you spoken in a low, sweet, gentle tone, the voice that came back would have been as low, sweet, and gentle as your own.” “When you come home from school, and find your little brother gets angry easily, speak gently to him. You will soon see a smile on his lips, and find that his tones will become gentle and sweet.” “Whether you are in the fields or in the woods, at school or at play, at home or abroad, remember, The good and the kind, By kindness their love ever proving, Will live with the pure and the loving.” 62. How did Robert feel when he heard the same words come back at first? A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Bored. 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Robert went into the bushes and found a ball. B. Robert’s little brother always gets nervous easily. C. Someone hid himself in the wood to mock Robert. D. An echo can make you hear again the very words you speak. 64. According to Robert’s mother, we should ________. A. speak freely to show our personalities in public B. speak loudly to make others hear us more clearly C. speak politely to the people who are angry with us D. speak nicely only to our close friends and relatives 65. Which of the following can describe the main idea of this passage? A. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 B. 敏而好学，不耻下问。 C. 温故而知新，可以为师矣。 D. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分) 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分)(每空一词) 66.

When they arrived at a door, they heard a laugh. It was a great surprise to Scrooge to recognize the laugh from his own nephew (侄子) Fred. They entered. About twenty people sat and talked happily. They couldn’t see Scrooge and the ghost. “Ha, ha, ha!” cried Fred, “My uncle said that Christmas was a trick! And he believed it too!” “Shame for him, Fred!” said Mary, Fred’s nice wife, angrily. “He’s a funny old fellow,” said Fred, “He’s rich, but his wealth is of no use to him. He doesn’t do any good with it. And I have nothing to say against him.” After that, they began to play a game. All the people did it happily, young and old, and so did Scrooge. He was really enjoying himself. He even forgot that they couldn’t see or hear him. The Ghost was greatly pleased to find Scrooge in this mood, and Scrooge didn’t want to leave. “Here is another game,” said Scrooge. “Allow me to stay one half hour, Spirit, only one half hour.” That was a Game called “Yes and No”—When someone thought of something, the rest must find out what it was by getting the answer “yes” or “no”. It was Fred’s turn. He laughed and laughed. At last, his wife Mary cried out, “I have found it out! It’s your Uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!” “Certainly it is! He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure,” said Fred, “Here is a glass of wine ready to our hand now, and I say, ‘Uncle Scrooge!’ ” “Well! Uncle Scrooge!” They cried. “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!” said Fred. Uncle Scrooge imperceptibly became so happy and light of heart. If the Ghost had given him time, he would like to say something. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew. —— A Christmas Carol 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个单词) 76.

C 【解析】 【原文】Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It’s the spirit of America—easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the southern United States. It was the folk music of the American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops and death. The life in the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties, but it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio and they made them into records. John Denver was one of America’s most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is well known and still played by people today. 二、单项选择 (本题共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 21.

Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea. First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use. Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter. Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park? Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money. Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further. 54. Some people want to change the park into __________. A. a golf club B. a golf course C. a park D. a skating place 55. According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children A. go to get some exercise B. fall in love with golf C. play video games at home D. go to the street and make friends 56. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 57. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage? A. To help carry out further plans. B. To make the park more beautiful. C. To encourage children to go skating. D. To stop the golf course from being built. 【答案】54. B 55. C 56. D 57. D 【解析】 【分析】文章大意：本文从4个方面论述了把社区公园变成高尔夫球场的弊端，想要由此来阻止高尔夫球场的建设。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中的信息 There's a park that some people want to turn course into a golf有人想把一个公园转变成为一个高尔夫球场，故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段倒数第三句话 This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise这就意味着他们将会待在家里打开电子游戏而不是去锻炼，故选C。 【56题详解】 文章结构题。根据文章第一段最后一句话let me tell you.. . a bad idea让我该诉 你为什么这是一个坏主意，接着文章二、三、四、五段分别用first首先；second第 二；third第三;finally最后。分别列举理由；最后一段第一句话Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea可以知道是总结不愿意把公园改成高尔夫球场， 属于总-分-总。故选D。 【57题详解】 写作目的题。文章主要从四个方面讲解了把社区公园变成高尔夫球场的弊端，从而想阻止高尔夫球场的建造。故选D。 C If you’ve never heard of mineral-color painting (岩彩画), you’re not alone. This form of art is unknown to most people—even many art lovers. It is an ancient form of painting that is being given new life these days. This kind of art is created using materials like rock powder (粉末), colored soil and sand. It can be traced back to the 3rd-century Kucha Grotto murals (龟兹石窟壁画) of Xinjiang. Yet after the Song and Yuan dynasties, with ink wash painting becoming more and more popular, mineral-color art gradually fell out of fashion. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, some countries sent envoys (使节) to China to learn all kinds of things. “They loved mineral-color art and took the art form back to their own country,” said Miao Tong. The artist has been studying this traditional art form for years. In the 1980s, many Chinese artists decided to revive this traditional art form in China. In the 1990s, they renamed it “mineral-color art”. For Miao, the greatest joy in his work is to find the “right earth” to make mineral pigments (颜料). “Every year I go to Wuyi Mountain. It is known for its Danxia land formation (丹霞地貌),” he said. “You can’t imagine how beautiful the earth is there. It is naturally colored in red, green, yellow, purple, etc.” But this soil cannot be directly applied to his works. It first has to go through a number of steps, including washing, filtering (过滤) and sun-drying. After that the soil will be mixed together with a certain kind of glue. According to the artist, one mineral-color painting may take several weeks to several months to complete. The mineral pigments are able to stay safe from the effects of UV light (紫外线). Therefore, their color does not fade (褪色) over time. That’s why, even after thousands of years, the cave paintings in the Kucha Grottos are still very bright and colorful. 58. When did mineral-color painting first appear in the history of China? A. In the third century. B. In the 1980s. C. During the Sui and Tang dynasties. D. In the Song and Yuan dynasties. 59. What does the underlined word “revive” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. give up B. give new life C. decorate once more D. give a new name 60. What does Paragraph 6 mainly tell us? A. Where to find the right earth. B. How to make the special soil. C. How to draw a mineral-color painting. D. When to get a a mineral-color painting. 61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It always takes many years to make a a mineral-color painting. B. People in the Song dynasty liked ink wash paintings very much. C. In Xinjiang people can find natural earth with all kinds of colours. D. Mineral-color paintings can keep the colour as it is for a long time. 【答案】58. A 59. B 60. B 61. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统文化——岩彩画。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It can be traced back to the 3rd-century Kucha Grotto murals (龟兹石窟壁画) of Xinjiang”可知岩彩画最早出现在3世纪。故选A。 【59题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“In the 1980s, many Chinese artists decided to revive this traditional art form in China”可知许多中国艺术家决定在中国复兴这种传统艺术形式，故此处划线部分和选项B“给予新生命”意义相近。故选B。 【60题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“But this soil cannot be directly applied to his works. It first has to go through a number of steps, including washing, filtering (过滤) and sun-drying...”可知本段主要介绍了如何制作特殊土壤。故选B。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据“That’s why, even after thousands of years, the cave paintings in the Kucha Grottos are still very bright and colorful.”可知即使经过数千年，龟兹石窟的洞穴绘画仍然非常明亮多彩，可见岩彩画可以保持颜色很长一段时间不变。故选D。 D One day, as Robert was rambling (闲逛), he happened to cry out, “Ho, ho!” At once he heard coming back from a hill nearby, the same words, “Ho, ho!” In great surprise, he said with a loud voice, “Who are you?” Upon this, the same words came back, “Who are you?” Robert now cried out loudly, “You must be a very foolish fellow.” “Foolish fellow!” came back from the hill. Robert became angry, and with loud and rude words went toward the place where the sounds came. The words all came back to him in the same angry tone. He then went into the bushes, and looked for the boy who, as he thought, was mocking (嘲弄) him; but he could find nobody anywhere. When he went home, he told his mother that some boy had hidden himself in the wood, for the purpose of mocking him. “Robert,” said his mother, “You are angry with yourself alone. You heard nothing but your own words.” “Why, mother, how can that be?” said Robert. “Did you never hear an echo?” asked his mother. “An echo, dear mother? No, ma’am. What is it?” “I will tell you,” said his mother. “You know, when you play with your ball, and throw it against the side of a house, it bounds back to you.” “Yes, mother,” said he, “and I catch it again.” “Well,” said his mother, “If I were in the open air, by the side of a hill or a large barn, and should speak very loud, my voice would be sent back, so that I could hear again the very words which I spoke.” “That, my son, is an echo. When you thought someone was mocking you, it was only the hill before you, echoing, or sending back, your own voice.” “The bad boy, as you thought it was, spoke no more angrily than yourself. If you had spoken kindly, you would have heard a kind reply.” “Had you spoken in a low, sweet, gentle tone, the voice that came back would have been as low, sweet, and gentle as your own.” “When you come home from school, and find your little brother gets angry easily, speak gently to him. You will soon see a smile on his lips, and find that his tones will become gentle and sweet.” “Whether you are in the fields or in the woods, at school or at play, at home or abroad, remember, The good and the kind, By kindness their love ever proving, Will live with the pure and the loving.” 62. How did Robert feel when he heard the same words come back at first? A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Bored. 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Robert went into the bushes and found a ball. B. Robert’s little brother always gets nervous easily. C. Someone hid himself in the wood to mock Robert. D. An echo can make you hear again the very words you speak. 64. According to Robert’s mother, we should ________.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Robert听到回声，以为有人嘲弄他，妈妈给他解释，并告诉他要善待他人才能获得善意的回应。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In great surprise, he said with a loud voice...”可知，一开始听到附近山上传来同样的声音时，他非常惊讶。故选C。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If I were in the open air, by the side of a hill or a large barn, and should speak very loud, my voice would be sent back, so that I could hear again the very words which I spoke.” “That, my son, is an echo...”可知，如果我身处户外，在小山旁或者大谷仓旁大声说话，声音就会被传送回来，这样我就能再次听到自己说过的那些话了，这就是回声。选项D“回声可以让你重新听到你说过的话”与之相符。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you come home from school, and find your little brother gets angry easily, speak gently to him. You will soon see a smile on his lips, and find that his tones will become gentle and sweet.”可知，Robert的妈妈说，当你发现你弟弟生气时，要温柔地和他说话，很快你就会看到他露出微笑，并且他说话的语调也会变得温和。故选C。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Robert听到回声，以为有人嘲弄他，妈妈给他解释，并告诉他要善待他人才能获得善意的回应。选项A“己所不欲，勿施于人”与之相符。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分) 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分)(每空一词) 66. The music by the little boy is as wonderful as other world-famous ________ (music). 【答案】musicians’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：小男孩的音乐和其他世界著名音乐家的音乐一样精彩。根据“as wonderful as”及主语The music by the little boy可知此处指“其他世界著名音乐家的音乐”，musician“音乐家”，根据“other”可知此处应用其复数形式musicians，空格后没有名词music，此处应用复数名词名词所有格形式，故填musicians’。 67.

If they ________, the machines of the future will have longer and healthier lives. (success) 【答案】succeed 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果他们成功了，未来的机器将拥有更长寿和更健康的生命。从句中缺少动词作谓语，success的动词形式为succeed，意为“成功”；if引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现原则，从句用一般现在时，主语“they”后接动词原形。故填succeed。 71.

When Morwen, a pet dog, was found missing, its ____ (安全) worried everyone who loved it. 【答案】safety 【解析】 【详解】句意：当宠物狗Morwen被发现失踪时，它的安全令所有爱它的人都感到担忧。根据“its…”和汉语提示可知，是它的安全，应用名词形式。safety“安全”，名词。故填safety。 六、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，计10分) It was getting dark and it was snowing heavily when Scrooge moved along the street with the ghost. When they arrived at a door, they heard a laugh. It was a great surprise to Scrooge to recognize the laugh from his own nephew (侄子) Fred. They entered. About twenty people sat and talked happily. They couldn’t see Scrooge and the ghost. “Ha, ha, ha!” cried Fred, “My uncle said that Christmas was a trick! And he believed it too!” “Shame for him, Fred!” said Mary, Fred’s nice wife, angrily. “He’s a funny old fellow,” said Fred, “He’s rich, but his wealth is of no use to him. He doesn’t do any good with it. And I have nothing to say against him.” After that, they began to play a game. All the people did it happily, young and old, and so did Scrooge. He was really enjoying himself. He even forgot that they couldn’t see or hear him. The Ghost was greatly pleased to find Scrooge in this mood, and Scrooge didn’t want to leave. “Here is another game,” said Scrooge. “Allow me to stay one half hour, Spirit, only one half hour.” That was a Game called “Yes and No”—When someone thought of something, the rest must find out what it was by getting the answer “yes” or “no”. It was Fred’s turn. He laughed and laughed. At last, his wife Mary cried out, “I have found it out! It’s your Uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!” “Certainly it is! He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure,” said Fred, “Here is a glass of wine ready to our hand now, and I say, ‘Uncle Scrooge!’ ” “Well! Uncle Scrooge!” They cried. “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!” said Fred. Uncle Scrooge imperceptibly became so happy and light of heart. If the Ghost had given him time, he would like to say something. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew. —— A Christmas Carol 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个单词) 76.
