A. best B. better C. worst D. worse 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的数学考试怎么样？——我比上次考得更好，但我仍然需要提高。 考查副词比较级。best最好；better更好；worst最差；worse更差。根据“than last time”可知，此处用比较级，排除A和C；再根据“but I still need to improve”可知，此处表示比上次更好。故选B。 5.

They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so. Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends. The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.” In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call? 29. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving a fact. C. By asking a question. D. By listing numbers. 30. Why don’t most people want to call their old friends first? A. Because they worry about their old friends. B. Because they almost forget their old friends. C. Because they don’t care about their old friends. D. Because they have nothing to say to their old friends. 31. What can we learn from Lara Aknin’s words? A. It’s hard to get in touch with old friends. B. We can’t share our things with old friends. C. Differences may help people get close to old friends. D. Most people might have different lifestyles and interests. 32. What does the writer want to tell us? A. It’s important to have some good friends. B. Be brave to get in touch with your old friends. C. We should make as many new friends as possible. D. Make friends with people having the same interest. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人们在换学校或搬家后与老朋友联系的心理障碍，并通过心理学家的研究和建议，鼓励人们勇敢联系老朋友。 【29题详解】 根据文章第1段“Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house.”可知，作者通过陈述客观情况开始文章。 【30题详解】 根据文章第3段“70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them.”可知，人们不打电话是因为担心老朋友的情况。 【31题详解】 根据文章第4段“But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other.”可知，差异可能帮助人们与老朋友亲近。 【32题详解】 根据文章第5段“So, why not give your old friend a call?”可知，作者旨在鼓励人们勇敢联系老朋友。 C Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 33. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. able to spread quickly. B. able to breathe easily. C. able to change easily. D. able to sleep quickly. 34. Olympic runners often yawn before a race because ________. A. a yawn can let good things in B. they are too tired or too bored C. a yawn can help a warm brain cool down D. a yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces 35. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 36. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】33. A 34. C 35. D 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了与打哈欠相关的各类知识，包括打哈欠的过程、传染性、成因、作用、不同国家的文化看法以及科学研究现状，说明打哈欠是一种常见的生理现象。 【33题详解】 文章第2段“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”表明看到他人打哈欠时自己也会打哈欠，说明打哈欠具有传染性、能够快速传播，因此此处“contagious”的含义是“能快速传播的”。 【34题详解】 文章第3段“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”表明奥运选手在赛前打哈欠，是因为打哈欠能够帮助发热的大脑降温。 【35题详解】 文章第5段“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy.”表明本段主要讲述了不同国家的人们对打哈欠持有的不同观点。 【36题详解】 文章第1段为总起部分，引出打哈欠的话题，点明科学家虽不确定打哈欠的确切成因，但了解很多相关事实；第2至6段为分述部分，分别从打哈欠的行为特点、形成原因、作用、不同文化的态度、科学研究现状五个方面展开介绍。全文为总-分结构，与选项B的图示相符。 D The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Our motto is ‘Hope and keep busy’”, said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” replied Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls kept to her motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. She didn’t mind this at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too. She never complained. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family. 37. Why did the girls wave their hands cheerfully? A. Because they really felt happy at that time. B. Because they didn’t want their mother to worry about them. C. Because they were happy to see Mr Brooke leave their home. D. Because they thought they would be free to do whatever they wanted. 38. Which is the RIGHT order of the following events in the passage? ①The girls waved their hands cheerfully. ②Jo got a bad cold and had to stay at home. ③Mrs March kissed her daughters one by one. ④The girls went back inside with sad faces and heavy hearts. A. ③④①② B. ④②①③ C. ③①④② D. ④③①② 39. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Beth is a kind and hard-working girl. B. The girls forgot the motto after a week. C. The house was empty after Mrs March left. D. Jo stayed at home because she had a bad cold. 40. Which is the passage mainly about? A. Human and nature. B. War and peace. C. Interest and hobbies. D. Family and love. 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章节选自《小妇人》，主要讲述的是母亲临行前对孩子们的各种叮咛嘱托，以及孩子们牢记母亲叮嘱、在母亲离开后认真生活互相关爱的故事。 【37题详解】 根据文章第6段“The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then with sad faces and heavy hearts”可知，她们表面上挥手是为了不让母亲担心，实际上内心是悲伤的。 【38题详解】 根据文章第2段“She kissed her daughters one by one”、第6段“The girls waved their hands cheerfully... Then. with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside.”以及最后一段“Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home.”可知事件发生的正确顺序为：母亲吻女儿、女孩们挥手、女孩们伤心回屋、乔感冒待在家里。 【39题详解】 根据文章最后一段“Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too. She never complained. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family.”可知，Beth不仅完成了自己的任务还帮姐妹做家务，从不抱怨且帮助邻居，体现了她善良且勤奋的品质。 【40题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述母亲离开后女儿们遵循叮嘱努力生活，彼此照顾，体现了家人之间的牵挂与亲情，核心主题是家庭与爱。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are some skills for students to listen to the teacher in class, which means you’ re going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice playing basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? ____41____ One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn’t wander (漫游). It’s easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you’re not interested in the subject. ____42____ Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you’ll feel tired and bored. ____43____ Not only does this show respect to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. ____44____ Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn’t be.

Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class. G. So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying. 【答案】41. A 42. G 43. B 44. E 45. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了学生在课堂上如何有效听课的技巧，包括集中注意力、听取主旨大意、注视老师、排除干扰以及做笔记等方法，旨在帮助学生提高课堂学习效率。 【41题详解】 第一段提出问句“How to listen in school?”，空格后第二段至第五段分别介绍了具体方法，因此空格处应引出建议。A项“Here are some suggestions.”意为“这里有一些建议”，承接问句，引出下文的具体建议，符合上下文逻辑。 【42题详解】 第二段指出“One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn’t wander”，说明要防止走神，空格前提及“especially when you’re not interested in the subject”，因此空格处应强调让自己集中注意力。G项“So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying.”意为“所以让自己注意老师在说什么”，与上文形成因果关系，符合上下文逻辑。 【43题详解】 第三段讲“listen for the main ideas”，第四段开头提到“Not only does this show respect to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering”，其中“this”指代前文提到的行为，空格处应填一个动作。B项“You’ll also need to look at the teacher.”意为“你还需要看着老师”，与后文“show respect to the teacher”和“prevent your mind from wandering”形成逻辑呼应，符合上下文逻辑。 【44题详解】 第四段末尾提到干扰来源，空格后“Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn’t be. It can even be some birds outside the classroom window...”列举了其他干扰，因此空格处应填一种具体的干扰情况。E项“It might be a friend who is trying to pass you a note.”意为“可能是试图递纸条给你的朋友”，与后文的“or”和“even”构成递进列举，符合上下文逻辑。 【45题详解】 第五段首句“Finally,”提示最后一条建议，空格后“You need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher said.”说明需要做笔记的原因，因此空格处应引出做笔记的建议。F项“Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class.”意为“做笔记也能让你注意课堂”，既引出做笔记的话题，又与后文解释做笔记的原因形成逻辑衔接，符合上下文逻辑。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共40分） 五、词汇运用（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 根据句意及所给中文提示、首字母或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。 46. Among all the languages, both French and ________ (德语) are famous for their precision (精确). 【答案】German 【解析】 【详解】句意：在所有语言中，法语和德语都以精确而著名。German“德语”，不可数名词。故填German。 47. We need to ________ (改进) the quality of our products to make them sell well. 【答案】improve 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了使产品畅销，我们需要提高产品的质量。improve“改进，提高”，need to do sth.“需要做某事”是固定用法，空处是动词原形。故填improve。 48. Our teacher asked us to write down our ________ (想法) about the story before discussing it. 【答案】thoughts##ideas 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师要求我们在讨论故事之前写下我们关于这个故事的想法。形容词性物主代词our后面接名词，thought/idea意为“想法”，“我们”的想法应该不止一个，所以使用复数形式thoughts或ideas。 49. The Great Wall was built many ________ (世纪) ago. It’s one of the symbols of China. 【答案】centuries 【解析】 【详解】句意：长城建于许多世纪以前。它是中国的象征之一。根据汉语提示，表示“世纪”的单词是century，many后面必须接可数名词复数centuries。 50. One of the greatest ways to get better at English is to try to pronounce each word ________ (正确地). 【答案】correctly 【解析】 【详解】句意：提高英语水平的最好方法之一是尝试正确地发每个单词的音。correctly“正确地”，副词修饰动词“pronounce”。 51. It’s impossible for us to learn a ________ (外国的) language in a short time. 【答案】foreign 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们不可能在短时间内学会一门外语。空格处修饰名词language，需要形容词作定语，foreign意为“外国的”，foreign language“外语”。 52. Before traveling, my father always s________ for some information about the hotels online. 【答案】 searches##earches 【解析】 【详解】句意：旅行前，我爸爸总是在网上搜索一些关于酒店的信息。根据“some information about the hotels online”的语境以及首字母s的提示，可知此处表示“搜索”，search意为“搜索”；search for意为“搜索，寻找”，符合语境；主语my father为第三人称单数，always表示经常性动作，用一般现在时，故填searches。 53. If you have a map, you will not be ________ (afraid of something) when you get lost. 【答案】scared 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你有一张地图，当你迷路时你不会害怕。根据提示“afraid of something”可知，scared“害怕的”作表语。故填scared。 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Your school days should be some of the best and ____54____ (happy) days of your life.

A. people have different tastes B. the lunch cost too much C. there are many restaurants D. they may bring lunch-boxes B Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house. They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so. Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends. The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.” In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call? 29. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving a fact. C. By asking a question. D. By listing numbers. 30. Why don’t most people want to call their old friends first? A. Because they worry about their old friends. B. Because they almost forget their old friends. C. Because they don’t care about their old friends. D. Because they have nothing to say to their old friends. 31. What can we learn from Lara Aknin’s words? A. It’s hard to get in touch with old friends. B. We can’t share our things with old friends. C. Differences may help people get close to old friends. D. Most people might have different lifestyles and interests. 32. What does the writer want to tell us? A. It’s important to have some good friends. B. Be brave to get in touch with your old friends. C. We should make as many new friends as possible. D. Make friends with people having the same interest. C Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 33. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. able to spread quickly. B. able to breathe easily. C. able to change easily. D. able to sleep quickly. 34. Olympic runners often yawn before a race because ________. A. a yawn can let good things in B. they are too tired or too bored C. a yawn can help a warm brain cool down D. a yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces 35. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 36. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Our motto is ‘Hope and keep busy’”, said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” replied Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls kept to her motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. She didn’t mind this at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too.
