B
Brandy was an old dog. When her owner died, the dog stayed near the house and waited for her owner to return. Some of the neighbors left food out for Brandy. As they thought the dog was friendly, they weren’t much concerned (担心的) about Brandy.
One day, Brandy walked into the neighbor’s yard and began playing with 18-month-old Adam. The young mother didn’t like the dirty dog at first. But seeing her son having fun playing with her, she decided to let Brandy stay.
One afternoon, the boy’s mother left Adam in the yard to play while she answered the phone. When she returned, he was gone. The mother was scared and called the police. They looked for Adam for six hours, but didn’t find him.
Then someone said he had heard barking (狗叫声) coming from the woods. So they all rushed to the woods. Adam was fast asleep against a tree. Brandy was keeping Adam there while one of her own legs dangled over (悬垂) a deep hole.
Brandy had followed Adam when he walked away. Seeing him in danger, she’d held him safely for all those hours. Adam’s mother was so grateful that Brandy spent the rest of her days with them. In Brandy’s honor, Adam’s mother founded (创办) Pets Alive, a pet-rescue (宠物救援) center in New York. She can’t save every animal, but she knows that if someone had put that old dog to sleep, she could have easily lost her only son.
5. What did Brandy do after her owner died?
A. She was sad and cried all day long. B. She waited for her owner to return.
C. She looked for food everywhere. D. She walked around in the community.
6. Which of the following is TRUE about Brandy?
A. Adam didn’t like playing with Brandy. B. Brandy took Adam for a walk.
C. Brandy looked for Adam for 6 hours. D. Brandy kept Adam safe when he slept.
7. What do we know about Pets Alive?

C. It was a pet hospital. D. It put old dogs to sleep.
8. Why did Adam’s mother found Pets Alive?

【导语】本文讲述了一只名叫Brandy的老狗在主人去世后,意外救下了邻居家的幼儿Adam的故事。Brandy在Adam走失后一直守护在他身边,防止他掉进深坑。为了纪念Brandy的英勇行为,Adam的母亲创办了宠物救援中心“Pets Alive”。
【5题详解】
第一段明确指出:“When her owner died, the dog stayed near the house and waited for her owner to return.”,说明Brandy在主人去世后等待主人回来。
【6题详解】
第四段提到“Adam was fast asleep against a tree. Brandy was keeping Adam there...”,说明Brandy在Adam睡觉时保护了他的安全,D项正确。A项错误,文中说Adam玩得很开心(having fun);B项错误,是Adam走开了,Brandy跟着他;C项错误,警察找了6个小时,而Brandy是一直守护着Adam。
【7题详解】
最后一段明确指出:“In Brandy’s honor, Adam’s mother founded Pets Alive...”,说明Pets Alive是为了向Brandy表示敬意而创办的。A项错误,是由Adam的母亲创办的;C项错误,是一个宠物救援中心而非医院;D项错误,文中提到如果当时有人把这只老狗安乐死,母亲就会失去儿子,以此强调Brandy的价值,而非该中心的功能。
【8题详解】
结合最后一段内容,Adam的母亲因为感激Brandy救了儿子(Adam’s mother was so grateful...),并以Brandy的名义创办了救援中心,因此目的是为了感谢和纪念Brandy。A、D项文中未提及;B项文中明确说“She can’t save every animal”,所以不是为了拯救所有动物。
C
Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16, 2021.
The 41-year-old Wang became the first woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male (男性) astronaut. When will there be a female one?”At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army.
After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate(候选人)to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups (引体向上) and barbells (杠铃). “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button (按钮),” said Wang. “If you can’t bear it, you can press (按动) it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”
That strong spirit finally led to realizing her dream in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission (任务).
Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.
9. How many astronauts were sent up to enter Tiangong space station in 2021?
A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2.
10. When did China send Yang Liwei into space?
A. In 2021. B. In 2010. C. In 2003. D. In 2013.
11. According to the passage, the underlined word “bear” means ________.
A. believe B. stand C. make D. repair
12. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Space Dream B. The Shenzhou XIII
C. Tiangong Space Station D. Long-term Space Missions
【答案】9. C 10. C 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了中国女航天员王亚平从萌生航天梦到历经艰苦训练、最终实现太空梦想的经历,展现了她执着坚定、永不言弃的精神。
【9题详解】
第一段“Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16, 2021.”说明,2021年搭乘神舟十三号进入太空的航天员为王亚平、翟志刚、叶光富共3人。
【10题详解】
第二段“Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space.”说明,中国在2003年将杨利伟送入太空。
【11题详解】
第四段提到高G训练是最艰苦的部分,训练时王亚平会因大脑暂时缺血短暂失明,训练装置上设有红色按钮,结合语境可知,如果你无法忍受这种训练强度,就可以按下按钮停止训练,因此“bear”意为“忍受”,与“stand”含义一致。
【12题详解】
全文围绕王亚平的航天梦展开,讲述了她从2003年萌生成为女航天员的想法,到历经严苛训练、凭借顽强意志在2013年实现梦想、2021年再次进入太空的历程,核心线索是她的航天梦想,因此最适合作为文章标题的是“The Space Dream”。
D
Slavery (奴隶制) was one of the darkest periods in American history. It cannot be ignored (忽视). This term, we are reading a novel called The Longest Memory by British author Fred D’Aguiar. Its story is told through the eyes of many different people. From their narration (讲述), we can see what the society looked like during the period before the American Civil War.
The Longest Memory tells the story of a brave and wise young slave, Chapel, who falls in love with the daughter of a plantation owner (种植园主). They decide to go to the north, where black men can marry white women. However, the boy’s father, White Chapel, doesn’t agree with him and causes him to be caught. Chapel is then whipped (鞭打) to death.
Why does White Chapel report his son’s plan to the plantation owner? This is one thing that confuses many readers. But as we understand each character in depth, we can find it out White Chapel teaches young slaves to follow their owners. So his owner respects him a lot. He starts to think that slaves can live comfortably as long as they listen to the plantation owner.
This thought is based on (以……为依据) the idea that slavery will never end. However, Chapel is educated. He sees a more colourful world in the books he reads and wants to be free. He represents (代表) the change for the future, which his dad fears. White Chapel’s thought might be a good way for slaves to protect themselves. But that doesn’t change the fact that slavery is inhumane (不人道的) and must end. Pioneers like Chapel should be encouraged.
13. The story of The Longest Memory is based on ________.
A. slavery before the American Civil War B. the American Civil War
C. the First World War D. the American Revolution
14. Chapel and the daughter of a plantation owner decide to go to the north because ________.
A. they want to leave Chapel’s father B. they want to make more money
C. they can get married there D. they want to live with Chapel’s father

B. Because he thinks slaves should follow their master’s orders.
C. Because he is worried that his son will be punished by the owner.
D. Because he doesn’t want to be separated from his Son.
16. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. ①②/③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②③④ D. ①②③/④
【答案】13. A 14. C 15. B 16. C

【31题详解】
句意:任何人都可以被教导如何获得某些技能吗?根据“Can anyone … how to gain certain skills?”可知,此处主语与动词之间为被动关系,因此应用情态动词的被动语态,构成为情态动词+be done,因此此处用be taught“被教导”。故填be taught。
【32题详解】
句意:一方面,人们认为我们每个人都有与生俱来的特定才能。根据“has … specific talent”可知,此处应用不定冠词表示泛指,specific为辅音音素开头单词,因此用a。故填a。
【33题详解】
句意:有些孩子从小就很擅长音乐或体育。根据“There are children … are very good at music or sports even from young age.”可知,空处应引导定语从句,先行词children,为人,在定语从句中作主语,因此应用who/that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【34题详解】
句意:此外,有许多孩子在没有任何专家帮助的情况下,自己设法发展了他们的技能。根据“managed”与提示词可知,manage to do“设法做某事”,因此用to develop。故填to develop。
【35题详解】
句意:然而,这并不意味着专家和老师不重要。根据“This is actually what makes people believe that there are people born with specific talents.”与“that does not mean that experts and teachers are not important”可知,前后表示转折关系,因此应用however“然而”。故填However。
【36题详解】
句意:另一方面,另一些人认为,如果遇到好老师,每个人都可以成为一个好的音乐家或运动员。根据“everyone can become a good musician or athlete … they meet good teacher”可知,此处应表示假设关系,因此用if“如果”引导条件状语从句。故填if。

【38题详解】
句意:我们见过这样的例子:一个孩子似乎不可能成为音乐家,但经过大量的练习和课程,他终于成功了。根据“he finally … .”与提示词可知,此处缺少谓语动词,时态为一般过去时,因此用succeeded“成功”。故填succeeded。

句意:通过正确和专业的培训,每个人都可以成为他们想成为的人。根据“Everyone can be what they want to be … the right and professional training.”可知,此处应指通过正确和专业的培训,人们都可以成为想成为的人,因此用through“通过”。故填through。
【40题详解】
句意:总而言之,有天赋的孩子,但没有适当的训练,没有人可以提高他们的技能以达到卓越。根据“children”与提示词可知,此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词,因此用talented“有天赋的”。故填talented。

Brandy was an old dog. When her owner died, the dog stayed near the house and waited for her owner to return. Some of the neighbors left food out for Brandy. As they thought the dog was friendly, they weren’t much concerned (担心的) about Brandy.
One day, Brandy walked into the neighbor’s yard and began playing with 18-month-old Adam. The young mother didn’t like the dirty dog at first. But seeing her son having fun playing with her, she decided to let Brandy stay.

In Brandy’s honor, Adam’s mother founded (创办) Pets Alive, a pet-rescue (宠物救援) center in New York.

Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16, 2021.
The 41-year-old Wang became the first woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male (男性) astronaut. When will there be a female one?”At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army.
After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate(候选人)to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups (引体向上) and barbells (杠铃). “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button (按钮),” said Wang. “If you can’t bear it, you can press (按动) it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”
That strong spirit finally led to realizing her dream in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission (任务).
Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.
9. How many astronauts were sent up to enter Tiangong space station in 2021?
A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2.
10. When did China send Yang Liwei into space?
A. In 2021. B. In 2010. C. In 2003. D. In 2013.
11. According to the passage, the underlined word “bear” means ________.
A. believe B. stand C. make D. repair
12. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Space Dream B. The Shenzhou XIII
C. Tiangong Space Station D. Long-term Space Missions
D
Slavery (奴隶制) was one of the darkest periods in American history. It cannot be ignored (忽视). This term, we are reading a novel called The Longest Memory by British author Fred D’Aguiar. Its story is told through the eyes of many different people. From their narration (讲述), we can see what the society looked like during the period before the American Civil War.
The Longest Memory tells the story of a brave and wise young slave, Chapel, who falls in love with the daughter of a plantation owner (种植园主). They decide to go to the north, where black men can marry white women. However, the boy’s father, White Chapel, doesn’t agree with him and causes him to be caught. Chapel is then whipped (鞭打) to death.
Why does White Chapel report his son’s plan to the plantation owner? This is one thing that confuses many readers. But as we understand each character in depth, we can find it out White Chapel teaches young slaves to follow their owners. So his owner respects him a lot. He starts to think that slaves can live comfortably as long as they listen to the plantation owner.
This thought is based on (以……为依据) the idea that slavery will never end. However, Chapel is educated. He sees a more colourful world in the books he reads and wants to be free. He represents (代表) the change for the future, which his dad fears. White Chapel’s thought might be a good way for slaves to protect themselves. But that doesn’t change the fact that slavery is inhumane (不人道的) and must end. Pioneers like Chapel should be encouraged.
13. The story of The Longest Memory is based on ________.
A. slavery before the American Civil War B. the American Civil War
C. the First World War D. the American Revolution
14. Chapel and the daughter of a plantation owner decide to go to the north because ________.
A. they want to leave Chapel’s father B. they want to make more money
C. they can get married there D. they want to live with Chapel’s father
15. According to the writer, why does White Chapel report his son?
A. Because he wants to protect his son and the girl.
B. Because he thinks slaves should follow their master’s orders.
C. Because he is worried that his son will be punished by the owner.
D. Because he doesn’t want to be separated from his Son.
16. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. ①②/③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②③④ D. ①②③/④
