第一部分 选择题(共50分)
阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分;满分40分)
阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
How bloody a scene! Blood Falls in Antarctica is a waterfall which pours blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect background for a horror (恐怖) film: full of mysteries and of course bloody. Its special colour was long believed to be caused by red algae (红藻). Until 2017, the true cause of the so-called blood was proved to be oxidized iron (被氧化的铁) in saltwater.
Amazing yet a dangerous sight. Frozen bubbles can be seen in winter at Abraham Lake in Canada. When there is too much methane (甲烷) gas underwater and it freezes, it will finally form this special sight—frozen bubbles. Plenty of methane has a high risk. So even a lit match can cause an explosion (爆炸).
During the new moon and full moon times, tourists can see a clear reflection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach in Malaysia. The smooth sand and lowest water level (水位) create such an unbelievable sight. Also known as the “Mirror of the Sky”. This beach is an amazing place to take pictures.

①Have you heard of Shennong, a legendary (传说中的) ruler in ancient China about 5,000 years ago? He could know what plants do to human bodies because he had a transparent belly (透明的肚子). After eating plants, he could see what was going on inside. This way, he found plants that were good for people’s health. And now, scientists may have found a way for everyone to see through his or her skin.
②In a recent study, scientists at Stanford University in the US used a yellow food dye (染料) to make the skin of a mouse transparent for a while. People often use this dye in snack foods and candies.
③In the study, scientists took off the fur of some mice and put the dye on their skin. After a while, they could see through mice’s brains and see how food moves through their bodies. “It takes them a few minutes for the transparency to appear.” said one of the scientists, Zihao Ou. After they washed away the dye, the skin looked normal again. The dye doesn’t hurt animals.
④When scientists mix this dye with water and put it on the mice’s skin, it turns the water under the skin into something more like proteins and fats. The skin then scatters (散射) less light. The less light things scatter, the more transparent they look. That’s why the skin looks transparent. It’s like how things become clearer when the fog goes away.
⑤________. It can make giving shots (打针) easier. It could also help doctors find cancer (癌症) earlier.
5. We can learn ________ from the first two paragraphs.
A. Shennong was a soldier about 5,000 years ago

A man made his living by collecting coconuts in the countryside. One day, he went to a village that he had never been to before.
Towards the end of the day, his wagon (马车) was filled with coconuts. He decided to head home, because it was getting late. He wished to know how long it would take to get back to his village.
He saw an old man and stopped to ask for directions.
“Excuse me.” he said. “Could you please tell me how long it will take to get to Carson from this village?”
The old man showed him the right direction and said. “If you go slowly, it will take only a short while to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time and you will not get home until late in the night.”
The man could not understand the answer. He didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly. He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.
The faster he went, the more coconuts fell from his wagon and the more time he had to take to pick them up. So he went home very late at last. However, if he had travelled slowly, maybe none of the coconuts would have fallen, and the man would have arrived home much earlier.
And so, as the old man said, go slowly and it will take only a short while.
9. Why was the man angry?
A. Because he had lost many coconuts.
B. Because the horse was going too slow.

11. Which of the following words can best describe the old man?
A. wise. B. crazy. C. brave. D. friendly.
12. What can we learn from the story?

Reporter: How did you learn English yourself?
Clara: I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week. During my teenage years, I attended several international youth meetings. I also went to Australia. I learned a lot from communicating with native English speakers.
Reporter: What’s the best part of teaching English for you?
Clara: Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get excited about a challenge. Many teachers almost always find a way to make things work. I’ve learned a lot from them.
And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams.
Reporter: What suggestions do you always give to your students?
Clara: As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.
Reporter: What challenges do you think learners face today?
Clara: I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. We have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, so how can you prepare? Well, you can’t be prepared for everything. But you can equip yourself with creativity and the ability to keep learning throughout your life. Most importantly, you must carry on.

Towards the end of the day, his wagon (马车) was filled with coconuts. He decided to head home, because it was getting late. He wished to know how long it would take to get back to his village.
He saw an old man and stopped to ask for directions.
“Excuse me.” he said. “Could you please tell me how long it will take to get to Carson from this village?”
The old man showed him the right direction and said. “If you go slowly, it will take only a short while to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time and you will not get home until late in the night.”
The man could not understand the answer. He didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly. He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.
The faster he went, the more coconuts fell from his wagon and the more time he had to take to pick them up. So he went home very late at last. However, if he had travelled slowly, maybe none of the coconuts would have fallen, and the man would have arrived home much earlier.

【导语】本文是一则寓言故事:采椰子的男子赶路回家,向老人问路,老人告诉他走慢反而到家更快,男子不以为然执意快跑,椰子不断掉落,不停捡拾反而到家很晚,印证了“欲速则不达”的道理。
【9题详解】
根据第六段“The man could not understand the answer. He didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly.”可知,这个人不理解老人的回答,认为老人的建议不友好,所以生气了。
【10题详解】
根据文章内容可知,首先“The man went to a village that he had never been to before.”可知,男人先去了一个从未去过的小村庄(d);接着“He saw an old man and stopped to ask for directions.”可知,他遇到老人并询问回家的路(a);然后“The man could not understand the answer. He didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly.”可知,他不相信老人的建议(e);之后“He hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon.”可知,他让马加速,椰子开始从马车上掉下来(b);最后“So he went home very late at last.”可知,他最后很晚才回到家(c)。因此正确顺序是d-a-e-b-c。
【11题详解】
根据第五段老人的话“If you go slowly, it will take only a short while to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time...”以及后文农夫快速赶路导致椰子不断掉落可知,老人提前预料到了结果,他的建议体现了智慧。因此wise意为“明智的”,符合题意。
【12题详解】
故事核心道理:急于求成反而会拖慢进度,hurry slows you down符合文意。
D

【13题详解】

China has a long history. Many stories are hidden in ancient books. One of these books is Shanhai Jing. Shanhai Jing means The Classic of Mountains and Seas in English. It is a special book that tells us about the geography and culture of China before a time called the Qin Dynasty. ____17____ There are many Chinese myths (神话) in it.
No one knows for sure who wrote the wonderful book. And the time when it was written is uncertain. People once thought mythical figures wrote it. For a long time, figures like Yu the Great or Boyi were thought to be the writers. But today, experts have a different idea. The book wasn’t written all at once by just one person. Many people wrote different parts of the book over a long time. They started writing during a time called the Warring States. ____18____ Shanhai Jing talks about many things. It mentions more than 550 mountains. It also talks about 300 waterways. There are stories of 400 mythical creatures too. The book has about 31,000 Chinese characters. It is divided into 18 parts.
____19____ One story is about the Great Pangu, who created the world. There are also stories about Nvwa, who fixed the sky. Another story is about Kua Fu. He was a giant who tried to run after the sun.

【18题详解】
本段讲《山海经》的作者和成书时间。前文说“他们从战国时期开始写”。E项“The whole writing continued until the start of the Han Dynasty.”与前文逻辑一致,点明了成书的漫长过程。
【19题详解】
本段讲书中的神话故事。后文举例“盘古开天辟地、女娲补天、夸父逐日”。D项“There are some oldest stories about how the world began.”与后文衔接自然,概括了本段内容。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国饮食文化中的餐桌礼仪,包括对食物的高度重视、座次的安排规则(如“贵宾席”和主人席的位置)、入座顺序以及共餐时使用旋转盘的习惯等内容。
【21题详解】
句意:中国人认为食物是他们生活中最重要的事情之一。
根据前句“Chinese food is very famous in the world.”引出中国食物的话题,以及后句“They do not greet each other with ‘How are you?’ but they ask, ‘Have you eaten?’”可知,中国人见面问候“你吃了吗”,说明他们非常重视食物。food“食物”符合语境。knowledge“知识”、money“金钱”、weather“天气”,均与后文“吃”的描述无关。
【22题详解】
句意:由于餐桌礼仪是中国饮食文化的一部分,中国人至今仍然遵守他们的餐桌礼仪。
根据前句“Since table manners are part of Chinese cooking culture”可知,餐桌礼仪是中国饮食文化的一部分,因此人们会遵循它。follow“遵守,遵循”符合语境。break“打破”、make“制作”、forget“忘记”,均与“文化传承”的语境矛盾。
【23题详解】
句意:为“贵宾”或家中最年长的人预留一个座位。
根据后文对“seat of honor”(贵宾席)的介绍可知,本段讨论的是座位安排问题。seat“座位”符合语境。game“游戏”、ball“球”、gift“礼物”,均与座次安排的话题无关。
【24题详解】
句意:在中国大部分地区,“贵宾席”通常是面向房间前门的那个座位。
根据后句“The ‘seat of honor’ can also be …”可知,面向前门的座位是常见的安排方式,但并非绝对。usually“通常”符合语境。never“从不”与后文“can also be”矛盾;already“已经”、hardly“几乎不”,均不符合此处描述常规做法的语境。
【25题详解】
句意:如果没有面向门的座位,“贵宾席”也可以是面向东边的中间座位。
根据前句“the one facing the front door of the room”可知,首选是面向前门的座位,本句说的是“如果没有面向门的座位”时的替代方案。door“门”与前文呼应。wall“墙”、kitchen“厨房”、window“窗户”,均与前文“front door”的对应关系不符。
【26题详解】
句意:至于主人,他可能会坐最方便的座位。
根据后句“It is always the nearest to the kitchen or service door.”可知,主人坐在离厨房或服务门最近的位置,这是为了方便上菜和服务。convenient“方便的”符合语境。difficult“困难的”、expensive“昂贵的”、comfortable“舒适的”,均不能由“离厨房最近”推导出来。
【27题详解】
句意:最好在长辈或“贵宾”坐下之后再坐。
根据语境,客人应在长辈或贵宾先入座后再坐下,体现尊老和礼让。sit down“坐下”符合语境。turn down“调低,拒绝”、write down“写下”、fall down“摔倒”,均不符合入座的情境。
【28题详解】
句意:客人应等待主人邀请他们入座。
根据语境,客人不应自行入座,而应等待主人的示意或邀请。invite“邀请”符合语境。order“命令”语气过于强硬,不符合待客之道;introduce“介绍”、encourage“鼓励”,均与“入座”的动作无关。
【29题详解】
句意:中国人喜欢一起吃饭,他们把所有的菜放在一张圆桌上。
have meals“吃饭”是固定搭配。having“吃,享用”符合语境。seeing“看见”、selling“卖”、buying“买”,均不能与meals构成“吃饭”的含义。
【30题详解】
句意:餐桌中央有时会有一个圆形的旋转盘。
根据常识和后文“It makes sure that all the diners can enjoy the meal”可知,旋转盘需要放在桌子中央,这样每个人都能方便地取到菜。center“中心,中央”符合语境。east“东”、west“西”、top“顶部”,均不符合旋转盘的实际位置。

And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams.
Reporter: What suggestions do you always give to your students?
Clara: As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.
Reporter: What challenges do you think learners face today?
Clara: I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. We have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, so how can you prepare? Well, you can’t be prepared for everything.
