Growing up in the Lianchi District of Baoding, Hebei Province, the 59-year-old 1_________ at a local factory. Making lamps with gourds has been his hobby since 2020. “I 2_________ a gourd lamp online by chance and was attracted(吸引) by its beauty,” Liu said, adding that he believed he could also make them 3_________ he had been drawing gourds since the 1990s.Exactly,Liu had been 4_________ in pyrography(烙画) since 1998.

"When I see my works are liked by others,I feel satisfied.” 1._________ 2._________ 3._________ 4._________ 5._________6._________ 7._________ 8._________ 9._________ 10._________ 长难句解析 原句：（最后一段最后一句）When I see my works are liked by others, I feel satisfied. 译文：当我看到自己的作品被别人喜欢时，我感到很满足。 分析：本句是一个复合句。when在句中引导时间状语从句；在该从句中，my works are liked by others是省略了引导词that的宾语从句，作动词see的宾语。 【答案与解析】 从2020年开始，制作葫芦灯成了刘明珠的爱好。他的耐心和毅力造就了他精湛的技艺，因此他的葫芦灯很受欢迎。 1.works 根据空后的at a local factory可知，此处指这位59岁的老人在当地一家工厂工作。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少谓语动词，此处是对现在情况的描述，应用一般现在时；且句子主语是 the 59-year-old，故填work的第三人称单数形式works。 2.saw 根据空后的“a gourd lamp online by chance and was attracted by its beauty”可知，此处表示“我偶然在网上看到了一盏葫芦灯，便被它的美丽所吸引”。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少谓语动词，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，故填see的过去式saw。 3.because 分析句子结构可知，空处缺少连词；空后的“他从20世纪90年代就开始画葫芦了”与空前的“他相信自己也可以制作出它们（这种葫芦灯）”之间构成因果关系，故填连词because。 4.interested 根据语境可知，此处指自1998年以来，刘明珠一直对烙画感兴趣。be interested in“对......感兴趣”，为固定短语，故填interested。 5.strong根据语境可知，此处指从那时起，他已经和葫芦建立了牢固的关系。所填词作定语，修饰空后的名词relationship，故填形容词strong。 6. making此处指在他的闲暇时间，他会花时间用葫芦制作艺术品。spend time(in)doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，为固定用法，故填making。 7. with 根据空前的gourds和空后的“hard，thin skins”可知，此处指制作葫芦灯需要使用壳硬而薄的葫芦。介词with“有；具有”，符合语境。 8.his此处指他的客厅里摆满了葫芦和葫芦灯作品。所填词修饰空后的living room，故填he 的形容词性物主代词his。 9.knives 此处指他的工作台上的笔筒里摆满了不同类型的铅笔和小刀。根据空前的 and可知，所填词与pencils构成并列关系，且knife为可数名词，空前无限定词修饰，故填其复数形式 knives。 10.patience 根据语境以及空后的perseverance可知，此处指这需要极大的耐心和毅力。所填词与perseverance一起在句中作宾语，故填patient的名词形式patience。 译文 刘明珠没有想到他的葫芦灯会受到人们的欢迎，但它似乎很受大家欢迎。在河北省保定市莲池区长大的这位59岁的老人在当地一家工厂工作。自2020年开始，制作葫芦灯成了他的爱好。 刘明珠说：“我偶然在网上看到一盏葫芦灯，便被它的美丽所吸引。”他相信自己也可以制作它们，因为他从20世纪90年代就开始画葫芦了。确切地说，自1998年以来，他一直对烙画感兴趣。在那一年，他制作了他第一件葫芦做的笔筒。从那时起，他已经和葫芦建立了牢固的关系。在他的闲暇时间，他会花时间用葫芦制作艺术品。 他说：“当我摸到一个葫芦时，我就知道它的皮是薄还是厚。制作葫芦灯需要使用壳硬而薄的葫芦。”他已经制作了2000多件烙画作品和400多盏葫芦灯。在刘明珠的家里，他的客厅摆满了葫芦和葫芦灯作品。他的工作台上的笔筒里摆满了不同类型的铅笔和小刀。 刘明珠说：“为了达到完美，我需要在工作台前坐很长时间。这需要很大的耐心和毅力。当我看到自己的作品被别人喜欢时，我感到很满足。” Passage 2 Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers(激光器) to change the path of lightning(闪电). The experiment was carried out on Santis mountain in Switzerland, near a TV tower that's hit by lightning about 100 times a year. Lightning can cause serious problems on the ground.It can cause fires, destroy buildings, and kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. Now, the best way is by putting metal rods(杆) on the buildings. They are connected to the ground and can safely guide the electricity into the ground. ★ If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. Some buildings—such as airports—are so large that it's difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods. Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. It isn't new. Scientists have been working on the idea for over 20years.They have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory.But scientists haven't been able to make it outside until recently. Scientist Matteo Clerici wasn't part of the experiment,but he also studies guiding electricity. He said, “The fact that they managed to do it in an outdoor environment is really a very big step.” Although they have made great progress,the laser still didn't guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. To protect buildings from most lightning,lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance(距离).The laser is also very dear. The scientists say it costs about $2 billion.It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser is truly able to protect large buildings. 1.Why do scientists try to change the path of lightning? A. To collect electricity. B. To avoid great losses. C. To test special lasers. D. To save building costs. 2.Which of the following can be put in the “★”in Paragraph 3? A. But they often fail to guide lightning. B. But they can cause damage to the ground. C. But these rods can only protect a small area. D. But these rods only work on large buildings. 3.What does Matteo Clerici think of the experiment? A. It's worrying. B. It's exciting.C. It's creative. D.It's unexpected. 4.What does the underlined word“dear”in the last paragraph mean? A.Expensive. B. Popular. C. Traditional. D. Dangerous. 5.In which part of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Weather. B. Travel.C. Environment.D.Technology. 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第二句)The experiment was carried out on Santis mountain in Switzerland, near a TV tower that's hit by lightning about 100 times a year. 译文：试验是在瑞士森蒂斯峰进行的，它位于一座每年被闪电击中大约100次的电视塔附近。 分析：本句是一个复合句。near a TV tower that's hit by lightning about 100 times a year 为地点状语，其中包含一个that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词 a TV tower。 【答案与解析】 科学家首次成功在野外用激光引导闪电放电，这项技术有望大幅提高人工防雷击水平，用于保护机场等重要场地。 1.B细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，闪电会在地面造成严重的问题。它会引发火灾、损坏建筑，还会造成人员死亡。每年闪电都会带来巨大财产损失。长期以来，科学家们一直在努力寻找一种保护建筑物免受雷击的方法。由此可知，科学家们努力改变闪电的路径是为了避免它造成巨大的损失，故选B项。 2.C 句子还原题。根据该空后面的两句话可知，如果建筑物很大，就会需要很多避雷针。而像机场这样的建筑太过庞大，很难使用避雷针进行保护。由此可推知，空处内容与避雷针应用场地的大小有关，故C项“但是这些避雷针只能保护一片小的区域”可引出下文，符合语境。 3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中 Matteo Clerici说的话“The fact that they managed to do it in an outdoor environment is really a very big step.”可知，Matteo Clerici认为这次户外试验成功的确是一个巨大的进步。故推测Matteo Clerici认为这个试验是令人激动的。 4.A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“The scientists say it costs about＄2billion.”可知，科学家们说激光器需要花费大约20亿美元。由此可推知,此处指激光器也很昂贵。expensive“昂贵的”，符合题意。 5.D推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了用激光来引导闪电放电的户外试验，这属于科技范畴，故选D项。 译文 瑞士的科学家们用激光改变了闪电的路径。试验是在瑞士森蒂斯峰进行的，它位于一座每年被闪电击中大约100次的电视塔附近。 闪电会在地面上引起严重的问题。它会引发火灾、损坏建筑，还会造成人员死亡。每年因雷电造成的损失达数十亿美元。长期以来，科学家们一直在努力寻找一种保护建筑物免受雷击的方法。 现在，最好的方法是把避雷针放在建筑物上。它们与地面相连，可以安全地把电引入地下，但这些避雷针只能保护一片小区域。如果建筑物很大，就会需要很多避雷针。而像机场这样的建筑物太过庞大，很难使用避雷针进行保护。 另一个想法是使用激光来引导闪电。这并不新鲜，科学家们已经在这个想法上研究了20多年。他们已经成功地在实验室内用激光引导闪电。但直到最近，科学家们才得以在室外实现。科学家Matteo Clerici并没有参与这个实验，但他也在研究引导闪电。他说：“他们在户外试验的成功，确实是非常大的进步。” 尽管他们已经取得了很大的进展，但激光仍然没有像科学家们希望的那样引导闪电。为了保护建筑物免受大多数闪电的影响，激光器必须引导闪电到更远的地方。这种激光器也非常昂贵，科学家们说激光器需要花费大约20亿美元。可能需要10年或更长时间才能使激光器真正能够保护大型建筑物。 Passage 3 You've probably heard about Japan's wild fruit market. There a single bunch(串) of grapes can cost over 70 dollars.Although the prices are so high, the fruits are greatly enjoyable in taste. Recently,farmers in Japan have produced a wholly new fruit. It is round, juicy, and sweet like a melon but a little bit sour like a lemon. When people hear about it, they can't help how their mouths water. The new fruit is called the Lemon Melon.And it is being grown by five farmers in the city of Furano, Hokkaido.It has the same shape as a watermelon. But the outside has no familiar stripes(条纹), and the inside is white. Suntory Flowers.the Japanese company that developed the Lemon Melon. said they produced it from a type of melon from abroad. They have been working to improve it over the last five years. The mix of lemon and melon is the result of very many experiments and studies. And this is the first year that they are able to sell the new fruit. At one supermarket. Lemon Melons were selling for 22 dollars each. Someone who was able to try some said.“It's really refreshing. I like it. It has a good balance of sweet and sour and I think it would be the perfect fruit for a hot day.” Though Lemon Melons sound delicious,don't expect to get your hands on one any time soon. Only about 3.800 of the new fruit are being produced for the season.If Lemon Melons become a success,they may become part of Japan's expensive fruit market in the long run.At present,one can only dream of their special sweet and sour taste. 1.What color is the inside of the Lemon Melon? A. Yellow. B. Green.C. White. D. Purple. 2.What can we know about the Lemon Melon from Paragraph 4? A. It is being grown in the laboratory. B.It was produced with great efforts. C. It was first introduced from abroad. D. It still needs to be improved further. 3.The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “refreshing” is probably“____ ”. A.清爽的 B.清澈的C. 舒适的 D. 解渴的 4.Why cannot we get Lemon Melons soon? A. They are not a success at the fruit market. B. They are too expensive for people in Japan. C. Most people can't accept the taste of the fruit. D. Not enough Lemon Melonsare produced for us. 5.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new and special fruit. B. To show the importance of the experiments. C. To teach us how to grow tasty watermelons. D. To tell us something about Suntory Flowers. 长难句解析 原句：（第四段第一句)Suntory Flowers,the Japanese company that developed the Lemon Melon, said they produced it from a type of melon from abroad. 译文：研发柠檬西瓜的日本公司Suntory Flowers说，他们是用国外的一种瓜培育出柠檬西瓜的。 分析：这是一个复合句。the Japanese company that developed the Lemon Melon是Suntory Flowers 的同位语；在该同位语中，that developed the LemonMelon是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the Japanese company。they produced it from a type of melon from abroad 是省略了that的宾语从句，作said的宾语。 【答案与解析】 日本 Suntory Flowers 公司花费五年时间培育出了柠檬西瓜。这种瓜的味道既像甜瓜般多汁甘甜又有柠檬般的微酸，口感清爽，适合在热天食用。 1.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But the outside has no familiar stripes, and the inside is white.”可知，柠檬西瓜外皮没有熟悉的条纹，里面是白色的。 2.B推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They have been working to improve it over the last five years. The mix of lemon and melon is the result of very many experiments and studies.”可知，在过去的五年里，Suntory Flowers的工作人员一直在努力改进柠檬西瓜，柠檬西瓜是大量实验和研究的结果。由此可推知，柠檬西瓜是经过很多努力培育出来的。 3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“It has a good balance of sweet and sour and I think it would be the perfect fruit for a hot day.”可知，柠檬西瓜酸甜适中，是热天里的理想水果。结合选项可推知，它的口感应该是清爽的，故推测refreshing意为“清爽的”。 4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Only about 3,800 of the new fruit are being produced for the season.”可知，这种新水果当季仅生产约3800个。结合常识可推知，我们不能很快品尝到柠檬西瓜的原因是这种瓜的产量不够。 5.A 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Suntory Flowers 花费五年时间培育出的新水果——柠檬西瓜，这种瓜的味道酸甜可口，很适合在热天品尝。由此可知，本文的主要目的是向我们介绍一种新型且特殊的水果。 译文 你可能听说过日本的野果市场。在那里，一串葡萄可以卖到70多美元。虽然价格很高，但这些水果的味道却非常可口。 最近，日本农民培育出了一种全新的水果。它圆圆的，既像甜瓜般多汁甘甜又有柠檬般的微酸。人们一听到这种水果，就会情不自禁地流口水。 这种新水果名叫柠檬西瓜。它是由北海道富良野市的五位农民种植的。它的形状和西瓜一样。但外皮没有我们熟悉的条纹，里面是白色的。 研发柠檬甜西瓜的日本公司 Suntorv Flowers 说，他们是用国外的一种瓜培育出柠檬西瓜的。在过去的五年里，他们一直在努力改进柠檬西瓜。柠檬西瓜是大量实验和研究的结果。今年是他们销售这种新水果的第一年。 在一家超市，柠檬西瓜的售价为22美元一个。一位品尝过柠檬西瓜的人说：“真的很清爽。我喜欢它。柠檬西瓜酸甜适中，是热天里的理想水果。” 虽然柠檬西瓜听起来很美味，但不要指望很快就能吃到。这种新水果当季仅生产约3800个。如果柠檬西瓜获得成功，从长远来看，它们可能会成为日本昂贵水果市场的一部分。目前，人们只能在梦中品尝其特殊的酸甜口味。 Passage 1 （2025-2026武汉市汉阳区七年级上册期末）A 68yearold woman from Shandong Province now teaches crocheting (钩针编织) online and offline. “It often takes me one week (71) ___________(finish) a crochet artwork.

The new fruit is called the Lemon Melon.And it is being grown by five farmers in the city of Furano, Hokkaido.It has the same shape as a watermelon. But the outside has no familiar stripes(条纹), and the inside is white. Suntory Flowers.the Japanese company that developed the Lemon Melon. said they produced it from a type of melon from abroad. They have been working to improve it over the last five years. The mix of lemon and melon is the result of very many experiments and studies. And this is the first year that they are able to sell the new fruit. At one supermarket. Lemon Melons were selling for 22 dollars each. Someone who was able to try some said.“It's really refreshing. I like it. It has a good balance of sweet and sour and I think it would be the perfect fruit for a hot day.” Though Lemon Melons sound delicious,don't expect to get your hands on one any time soon. Only about 3.800 of the new fruit are being produced for the season.If Lemon Melons become a success,they may become part of Japan's expensive fruit market in the long run.At present,one can only dream of their special sweet and sour taste. 1.What color is the inside of the Lemon Melon?
