Competitors eat as much as they can, usually within a time limit. Eating competitions can involve all kinds of food—pizza, pies, ice cream, or chili peppers. Winners can also receive large prizes. The world's largest competitive eating event is Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. It is held every Fourth of July in New York, the United States. According to an old story, this tradition began over a hundred years ago. Four newcomers to the country were arguing about who loved their new home the most. Finally, they found a way to decide: they would see who could eat the most hot dogs. James Mullen won by eating 13 hot dogs in 12 minutes. The champion of the contest today is Joey Chestnut from the US. He holds the world record for hot dog eating—74 in less than 10 minutes. For many years, the winner was Takeru Kobayashi from Japan. He is smaller and lighter than Chestnut, and doesn't look like an eating champion. However, he holds many world records for eating different kinds of food. Not everybody thinks competitive eating is a good thing. It can be unhealthy for the competitors, and many people in the world are going hungry. But for competitive eaters, it is a sport like any other. As Kobayashi says, “Food fighters think of themselves as athletes.” 14. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of American fast food. B. Competitions in which people eat as much as they can, and the people who join them. C. How to cook hot dogs in the United States. D. Why people should eat more slowly. 15. How did the Nathan's tradition begin according to the passage? A. A famous athlete ate 13 hot dogs in 12 minutes. B. A restaurant wanted to sell more hot dogs. C. The government held a festival for newcomers. D. Four men had a hot dog eating match to show their love for their new country. 16. What can we infer about Takeru Kobayashi? A. He looks like a typical eating champion. B. He stopped eating competitively after 2001. C. He is good at eating although he doesn't look strong. D. He is the fastest eater in every competition. 【答案】14. B 15. D 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了竞吃比赛（速度进食）这一活动、规模最大的Nathan's热狗大赛的由来，以及当今的竞吃冠军选手。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了竞吃比赛（speed eating）是什么、规模最大的Nathan's热狗大赛及其来历，以及当今的冠军选手，B项“人们尽可能多吃的比赛以及参加这些比赛的人”最能概括全文，故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Four newcomers to the country were arguing about who loved their new home the most. Finally, they found a way to decide: they would see who could eat the most hot dogs.”可知，这一传统始于四名新移民通过吃热狗比赛来表达对新生国家的热爱，故选D。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He is smaller and lighter than Chestnut, and doesn't look like an eating champion. However, he holds many world records for eating different kinds of food.”可推知，Kobayashi虽然看起来不强壮、不像吃货冠军，却很擅长吃，故选C。 C In 2001, I joined a team to explore the Titanic. We used two small deep-sea robots, one blue and one green. My job was to make sure the robots' batteries（电池）worked well. Three days into the trip, the green robot got stuck inside the ship. Even worse, one of its batteries was damaged. That was dangerous because the battery could explode and harm both the robot and the ship. We had to find a way to get it out. In the middle of the ocean, however, there are no shops to buy things. So we came up with an idea. We took a coat hanger and put it inside the blue robot. The plan was to use its hook（钩子）to pull the green robot out. Two other team members and I went down in a small submarine（潜水器）. Then we began to sink—12,500 feet down to the ocean floor. If anything went wrong, we were completely on our own. At about 9,000 feet, a teammate accidentally touched some wires. Suddenly, all our lights went out. It was terrifying, but the pilot fixed it and we carried on. At last we reached the wreck（残骸）of the Titanic. At first we could only see pieces of metal. Then we began to see suitcases and shoes. More than a thousand people lost their lives here, but their bodies were gone long ago. For about 12 hours, we tried to pull the robot out with the coat hanger. In the end we got it and brought it back to the surface. There was no way we would leave it behind. That little robot was part of our team. 17. What is the passage mainly about? A. A team's difficult trip to the Titanic to bring a robot back. B. How the Titanic sank in 1912. C. Robots that work in deep-sea restaurants. D. The history of deep-sea exploration. 18. Why did the team go down to the Titanic? A. To take pictures of the wreck. B. To look for the passengers' suitcases. C. To bring the green robot back. D. To study the ship's batteries. 19. What happened when they were about 9,000 feet down? A. The green robot exploded. B. They found a coat hanger. C. The pilot left the submarine. D. All the lights of their submarine suddenly went out. 20. How did the writer probably feel when they finally got the robot out? A. He felt it was not worth the trouble. B. He was proud that they never gave up on a team member. C. He was sorry that they had lost the blue robot. D. He was afraid of going back to the ocean floor. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者以第一人称讲述了团队下潜泰坦尼克号残骸、历尽艰险打捞被困绿色机器人的经历。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述作者所在团队下潜到泰坦尼克号残骸，历尽艰险用衣架钩子把卡住的小绿机器人打捞上来的经历，A项“一支团队为取回机器人而进行的艰难泰坦尼克号之旅”最能概括，故选A。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The green robot got stuck inside the ship…That was dangerous because the battery could explode…We had to find a way to get it out.”及后文团队下潜打捞可知，他们下到泰坦尼克号是为了把绿色机器人取回来，故选C。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At about 9,000 feet, a teammate accidentally touched some wires. Suddenly, all our lights went out.”可知，在约9000英尺深处时，潜水器的所有灯突然熄灭了，故选D。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There was no way we would leave it behind. That little robot was part of our team.”可推知，作者最终把机器人取上来时，为自己和队友始终没有放弃“队友”（机器人）而感到自豪，故选B。 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共5小题，计5分） A hungry fly speeds through a forest. It smells something sweet and lands on a green leaf. It starts to drink the liquid（液体）there. Suddenly, the two sides of the leaf close against each other. Long green teeth lock together around it. ____21____ ____22____ It is perhaps the most famous killer plant in the world. Scientists have only recently started to understand how it hunts and eats. After years of study, plant scientist Alexander Volkov believes he now knows its secret. “This,” says Volkov, “is an electrical plant.” There are three small hairs along each of the plant's two leaves. When an insect touches one of them, it creates an electrical signal in the leaf. ____23____ But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds, the trap closes quickly. This clever system allows the plant to tell the difference between a drop of water, for example, and a moving creature. ____24____ Instead of nectar（花蜜）, the plant now releases a different liquid—one that slowly eats away at the insect. Ten days later, almost nothing is left. The plant's leaves open again. ____25____ In this way, it can catch food again and again. A. The insect can go on feeding for now. B. Once it is trapped, an insect has little chance of survival. C. This amazing plant is called the Venus flytrap. D. Some plants catch insects with sticky liquid on their leaves. E. The fly has been caught, and there is no way out. F. It is then ready for its next meal. 【答案】21. E 22. C 23. A 24. B 25. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了著名食肉植物——捕蝇草捕食昆虫的机制与过程。 【21题详解】 根据第一段前文“Long green teeth lock together around it（长长的绿‘牙’把它锁住）”可知，苍蝇被夹住了，E项“这只苍蝇已经被抓住了，无路可逃”承接上文被捕获的情景，逻辑通顺。 【22题详解】 根据第二段后文“It is perhaps the most famous killer plant in the world.”可知，此处应先点明植物名称，C项“This amazing plant is called the Venus flytrap.（这种神奇的植物叫捕蝇草）”引出下文的“它是最著名的食肉植物”，逻辑通顺。 【23题详解】 根据第三段“When an insect touches one of them, it creates an electrical signal. ____23____ But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds, the trap closes quickly.”可知，只触到一根毛时暂不闭合，A项“The insect can go on feeding for now.（昆虫此刻还能继续进食）”与后文“但若20秒内再触另一根毛，陷阱迅速合拢”形成转折对比，逻辑通顺。 【24题详解】 根据第四段后文“Instead of nectar, the plant now releases a different liquid—one that slowly eats away at the insect.”可知，捕蝇草会分泌消化液慢慢侵蚀昆虫，B项“Once it is trapped, an insect has little chance of survival.（一旦被困住，昆虫几乎无生存机会）”总领本段“被消化”的内容，逻辑通顺。 【25题详解】 根据第五段“The plant's leaves open again. ____25____ In this way, it can catch food again and again.”可知，叶子重新打开是为了下一次捕食，F项“It is then ready for its next meal.（它随后就准备好下一顿饭了）”承接上文“叶子重开”，并与后文“能反复捕食”呼应，逻辑通顺。多余选项D（有些植物用叶上的粘液捕虫）与本文捕蝇草靠夹合捕食的机制不符。 III. 完成句子（共10小题，计10分） 根据所给汉语意思，用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。（下面十个句子讲述了一次学校运动会的经历） 26. 上周我们学校举办了一场精彩的运动会。 Our school ____________ a wonderful sports meet last week. 【答案】held 【解析】 【详解】原句中“举办”是关键词，英文表达为hold；本句有时间状语“last week”，时态为一般过去时，hold的过去式为held。 27. 许多同学都参加了这次比赛。 Many students ____________ the games. 【答案】took part in 【解析】 【详解】原句中“参加了”是关键词，表示“参加（活动）”的短语是take part in；本句时态为一般过去时，take的过去式为took，故填took part in。 28. 李华跑得很快，在100米赛跑中赢得了第一名。 Li Hua ran very fast and ____________ in the 100-meter race. 【答案】won first place 【解析】 【详解】原句中“赢得了第一名”是关键词，表示“得第一名”的短语是win first place；本句时态为一般过去时，win的过去式为won，故填won first place。 29. 我们班的同学都大声为他加油。 All our classmates ____________ him ____________ loudly. 【答案】cheered; on 【解析】 【详解】原句中“加油”是关键词，表示“为……加油”的短语是cheer on；本句时态为一般过去时，cheer的过去式为cheered，故填cheered; on。 30. 起初他有点紧张，但后来他放松了下来。 ____________ he was a little nervous, but later he relaxed. 【答案】At first 【解析】 【详解】原句中“起初”是关键词，表示“起初、一开始”的短语是at first，用于句首作状语，注意首字母大写。 31. 他擅长跑步，经常为我们班赢得荣誉。 He ____________ running and often wins honor for our class. 【答案】is good at 【解析】 【详解】原句中“擅长”是关键词，表示“擅长”的短语是be good at；本句主语He是第三人称单数，be动词用is，故填is good at。 32. 运动会上有各种各样的活动，例如跑步、跳远和拔河。 There were all kinds of activities at the meet, ____________ running, the long jump and tug-of-war. 【答案】such as 【解析】 【详解】原句中“例如”是关键词，表示“例如、比如”用于列举的短语是such as。 33. 一些学生忙着给运动员拍照。 Some students were busy ____________ of the players. 【答案】taking photos 【解析】 【详解】原句中“拍照”是关键词，表示“拍照”的短语是take photos；be busy doing sth.为固定用法，意为“忙于做某事”，take需用动名词形式taking，故填taking photos。 34. 最后我们班获得了团体第一名。 ____________, our class won first place in the team score. 【答案】In the end 【解析】 【详解】原句中“最后”是关键词，表示“最后、最终”的短语是in the end，用于句首作状语，注意首字母大写。 35. 多么令人兴奋的一天啊！ ____________ exciting day it was! 【答案】What an 【解析】 【详解】原句中“多么令人兴奋的一天啊”是感叹句，感叹名词day应用What引导；exciting以元音音素/ɪ/开头，故用What an。 IV. 短文填空（共10小题，计10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确（每个单词限用一次，每空限填一个单词）。 calm danger difference increase large real science they usual warn Imagine this: You are out at sea, relaxing on a boat.

But from time to time, nature delivers（带来）a weather event that is really unusual. Here are some examples of truly weird weather. One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. As if tornadoes aren't dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This creates strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens, a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15 meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-story building. In 1942, hundreds of skeletons（骨架）were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. They were thousands of years old. Many had holes in their skulls—but they weren't hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones（冰雹）. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. As a result, hailstones fall to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. 46. How big can a fire tornado grow? It can become 15 meters wide and grow as tall as ________________. 47. Why did it “rain frogs” in a town in Serbia? Because a tornado ________________ and then dropped them on the town. 48. Which paragraph best matches the picture above? It's Paragraph ________________ in the passage. 49. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? It refers to “________________”. 50. What does the passage mainly tell us? It tells us some examples of ________________. 【答案】46. a 40-story building 47. sucked up the frogs / sucked them up 48. 2 / Two (Paragraph 2) 49. hundreds of skeletons (the skeletons) 50. weird weather / unusual weather 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，列举了“蛙雨”、火旋风、冰雹致死等几例奇异（反常）的天气现象。 【46题详解】 根据文章第三段“A tornado like this can become 15 meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-story building.”可知，火旋风可长到40层楼那么高，故填a 40-story building。 【47题详解】 根据第二段“Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away.”可知，龙卷风把湖里的青蛙吸起并带到远处小镇落下，造成了“蛙雨”，故填sucked up the frogs（或sucked them up）。 【48题详解】 根据第二段“people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs!”及上文图片（街道落满青蛙）可知，该段内容与图片最匹配，故填Paragraph 2（或2 / Two）。 【49题详解】 根据第四段“In 1942, hundreds of skeletons were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund… They were thousands of years old.”可知，划线词They指代前句主语hundreds of skeletons（那些骨架），故填hundreds of skeletons（或the skeletons）。 【50题详解】 根据第一段“Here are some examples of truly weird weather.”及全文列举的蛙雨、火旋风、冰雹致死等反常天气可知，文章主要讲述了一些反常/奇异天气的例子，故填weird weather（或unusual weather）。 VI. 交流与表达（共6小题，计20分） 第一节：补全对话。根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。（共5小题，计5分） (Two friends are talking on the phone.)

Today's scientists are building robots with all kinds of skills. Some can help look after people; others can do dangerous jobs. Here are some of the most amazing robots in the world today. Robot What it can do ASIMO run, climb stairs, and dance Atlas run fast, jump, and even do backflips on two legs Sophia talk with people and show how she "feels" Snake-bot enter small holes, move over rough ground, and may one day help look for life on Mars Sticky-bot walk up walls SpotMini walk and run just like a real dog 11.

It can climb up the walls of a building. 12. Which robot was built to help scientists study other planets? A. Sophia. B. ASIMO. C. SpotMini. D. Snake-bot. 13. What can we learn from the table? A. Robots are able to do many different kinds of things. B. All robots today look exactly like humans. C. Robots can only do simple jobs in factories. D. Scientists have stopped building animal-like robots. B Competitive eating—or speed eating—is exactly what its name suggests. Competitors eat as much as they can, usually within a time limit. Eating competitions can involve all kinds of food—pizza, pies, ice cream, or chili peppers. Winners can also receive large prizes. The world's largest competitive eating event is Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. It is held every Fourth of July in New York, the United States. According to an old story, this tradition began over a hundred years ago. Four newcomers to the country were arguing about who loved their new home the most. Finally, they found a way to decide: they would see who could eat the most hot dogs. James Mullen won by eating 13 hot dogs in 12 minutes. The champion of the contest today is Joey Chestnut from the US. He holds the world record for hot dog eating—74 in less than 10 minutes. For many years, the winner was Takeru Kobayashi from Japan. He is smaller and lighter than Chestnut, and doesn't look like an eating champion. However, he holds many world records for eating different kinds of food. Not everybody thinks competitive eating is a good thing. It can be unhealthy for the competitors, and many people in the world are going hungry. But for competitive eaters, it is a sport like any other. As Kobayashi says, “Food fighters think of themselves as athletes.” 14. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of American fast food. B. Competitions in which people eat as much as they can, and the people who join them. C. How to cook hot dogs in the United States. D. Why people should eat more slowly. 15. How did the Nathan's tradition begin according to the passage? A. A famous athlete ate 13 hot dogs in 12 minutes. B. A restaurant wanted to sell more hot dogs. C. The government held a festival for newcomers. D. Four men had a hot dog eating match to show their love for their new country. 16. What can we infer about Takeru Kobayashi? A. He looks like a typical eating champion. B. He stopped eating competitively after 2001. C. He is good at eating although he doesn't look strong. D. He is the fastest eater in every competition. C In 2001, I joined a team to explore the Titanic. We used two small deep-sea robots, one blue and one green. My job was to make sure the robots' batteries（电池）worked well. Three days into the trip, the green robot got stuck inside the ship. Even worse, one of its batteries was damaged. That was dangerous because the battery could explode and harm both the robot and the ship. We had to find a way to get it out. In the middle of the ocean, however, there are no shops to buy things. So we came up with an idea. We took a coat hanger and put it inside the blue robot. The plan was to use its hook（钩子）to pull the green robot out. Two other team members and I went down in a small submarine（潜水器）. Then we began to sink—12,500 feet down to the ocean floor. If anything went wrong, we were completely on our own. At about 9,000 feet, a teammate accidentally touched some wires. Suddenly, all our lights went out. It was terrifying, but the pilot fixed it and we carried on. At last we reached the wreck（残骸）of the Titanic. At first we could only see pieces of metal. Then we began to see suitcases and shoes. More than a thousand people lost their lives here, but their bodies were gone long ago. For about 12 hours, we tried to pull the robot out with the coat hanger. In the end we got it and brought it back to the surface. There was no way we would leave it behind. That little robot was part of our team. 17. What is the passage mainly about? A. A team's difficult trip to the Titanic to bring a robot back. B. How the Titanic sank in 1912. C. Robots that work in deep-sea restaurants. D. The history of deep-sea exploration. 18. Why did the team go down to the Titanic? A. To take pictures of the wreck. B. To look for the passengers' suitcases. C. To bring the green robot back. D. To study the ship's batteries. 19. What happened when they were about 9,000 feet down? A. The green robot exploded. B. They found a coat hanger. C. The pilot left the submarine. D. All the lights of their submarine suddenly went out. 20. How did the writer probably feel when they finally got the robot out? A. He felt it was not worth the trouble. B. He was proud that they never gave up on a team member. C. He was sorry that they had lost the blue robot. D. He was afraid of going back to the ocean floor. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共5小题，计5分） A hungry fly speeds through a forest. It smells something sweet and lands on a green leaf. It starts to drink the liquid（液体）there. Suddenly, the two sides of the leaf close against each other. Long green teeth lock together around it. ____21____ ____22____ It is perhaps the most famous killer plant in the world. Scientists have only recently started to understand how it hunts and eats. After years of study, plant scientist Alexander Volkov believes he now knows its secret. “This,” says Volkov, “is an electrical plant.” There are three small hairs along each of the plant's two leaves. When an insect touches one of them, it creates an electrical signal in the leaf. ____23____ But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds, the trap closes quickly. This clever system allows the plant to tell the difference between a drop of water, for example, and a moving creature. ____24____ Instead of nectar（花蜜）, the plant now releases a different liquid—one that slowly eats away at the insect. Ten days later, almost nothing is left. The plant's leaves open again. ____25____ In this way, it can catch food again and again. A. The insect can go on feeding for now. B. Once it is trapped, an insect has little chance of survival. C. This amazing plant is called the Venus flytrap. D. Some plants catch insects with sticky liquid on their leaves. E. The fly has been caught, and there is no way out. F. It is then ready for its next meal.

V. 任务型阅读（共5小题，计10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Most of us know about hurricanes, droughts, and floods. But from time to time, nature delivers（带来）a weather event that is really unusual. Here are some examples of truly weird weather. One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. As if tornadoes aren't dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This creates strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens, a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15 meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-story building. In 1942, hundreds of skeletons（骨架）were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. They were thousands of years old. Many had holes in their skulls—but they weren't hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones（冰雹）. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. As a result, hailstones fall to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. 46. How big can a fire tornado grow? It can become 15 meters wide and grow as tall as ________________. 47. Why did it “rain frogs” in a town in Serbia? Because a tornado ________________ and then dropped them on the town. 48. Which paragraph best matches the picture above? It's Paragraph ________________ in the passage. 49. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? It refers to “________________”. 50. What does the passage mainly tell us? It tells us some examples of ________________.
