In China, students must have PE tests both in middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to run and do sit-ups and pull-ups (引体向上). However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools. In US high schools, we must take two terms of PE. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also kickball and dodgeball (躲避球) and some other special American sports. I didn’t know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher let me sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played them in order to let me know the rules. We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR (心肺复苏). We also learned how to do first aid (急救). These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. We also learn self-defense (自卫) in PE classes, such as taekwondo (跆拳道), karate (空手道) skills and Chinese kung fu. It is helpful. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think? 24. What should Chinese students do to get good grades on the PE tests? A. Learn to provide first aid. B. Play kickball and dodgeball. C.

I want to share my experience about an unusual friendship. How many friendships last for decades without meeting? That’s what happened between me and my French pen friend Michèle. We began writing to each other as teenagers, but 36 years passed before we met face-to-face. I started looking for pen friends because I was the only child in my family and I felt lonely. I still remember when my father brought me an envelope containing (包含) Michèle’s first letter and photo. Over the years, we exchanged family pictures, gifts, and souvenirs. In 1972, I married Alan, a decorator. Michèle sent me a golden necklace as a wedding gift. When my children Lindsey, Duncan and Robert were born, she sent presents every Christmas. In November 1998, while wrapping Michèle’s Christmas present, Lindsey suggested, “Why don’t you visit her?” A few weeks later, I wrote to Michèle proposing a visit. The next year, I flew to France. At the airport, after waiting anxiously, a blonde woman called out, “Barbara?” I responded, “Michèle?” We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together. I considered staying longer, but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home. Two years later, Michèle wrote that she was planning to visit Britain. Alan and I went to the airport but waited in vain. Concerned, Alan called Michele’s home. Her husband told us she had died in an accident hours before her flight. I was devastated (悲痛欲绝的) and stopped speaking for two weeks. Later, I continued writing letters to Michèle’s family as if she were still alive. 27. What is the main reason Barbara started looking for pen friends? A. She wanted to learn French. B. She liked collecting photos and gifts. C. She felt lonely. D. She enjoyed writing letters to strangers. 28. Why did Barbara return home from France earlier than planned? A. Because she missed her husband Alan. B. Because Michèle had to leave for work. C. Because her son Robert was sick. D. Because she ran out of money. 29. What is the correct order of the following events? a. Michèle sent Barbara a wedding gift. b. Barbara met Michèle in France. c. Michèle died in an accident. d. Barbara married Alan. A. d-a-b-c B. a-d-b-c C. d-b-a-c D. a-b-d-c 30. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain how to find pen friends. B. To describe a trip to France. C. To share a special friendship story. D. To teach about writing letters. 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Barbara Sloan与法国笔友Michèle长达数十年的特殊友谊故事，包括她们通过书信建立的深厚情感、首次见面以及Michèle意外去世后的悲痛。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“I started looking for pen friends because I was the only child in my family and I felt lonely.”可知，Barbara寻找笔友的主要原因是孤独。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home.”可知，Barbara提前回家的原因是儿子Robert生病。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容梳理事件顺序：1. “In 1972, I married Alan...”对应事件d；2. “Michèle sent me a golden necklace as a wedding gift.”对应事件a；3. “The next year, I flew to France...We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together.”对应事件b；4. “Her husband told us she had died in an accident”对应事件c。正确顺序为d-a-b-c。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕Barbara与Michèle的友谊展开，从书信往来、初次见面到Michèle去世，重点描述这段特殊友谊的珍贵。根据文章首句“I want to share my experience about an unusual friendship.”可知，文章目的是分享这段友谊故事。故选C。 五、填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A) 根据括号中所给的中文提示或音标写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 True learning is far more than memorizing facts for exams.

If we look back through the past few ____32____ (世纪), we find that great thinkers have left behind countless books full of wisdom. Reading these works is like having a conversation with the greatest minds in history. To truly benefit from their ideas, our first task is to translate their words into our own understanding. But this is only the beginning. Achieving real ____33____ /ˈɡreɪtnəs/ in learning requires more. We need to return to these important ideas again and again. Each time we review them, we can think ____34____ (更远) and gain new insights. Moreover, a good learner does not only study the past.

This ability to connect knowledge to the unknown makes learning dynamic and truly powerful. 【答案】31. guide 32. centuries 33. greatness 34. further 35. predict 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了真正的学习不仅仅是为了考试记忆事实，而是一种能引导我们应对生活挑战、汲取历史智慧、达到伟大境界并预测未来的强大工具。 【31题详解】 句意：它是一个强大的工具，可以引导我们度过生活中的挑战。情态动词can后接动词原形。根据音标/gaɪd/可知单词为 guide，意为“引导”，符合“引导我们度过生活中的挑战”的语境。故填guide。 【32题详解】 句意：如果我们回顾过去的几个世纪，我们会发现伟大的思想家留下了无数充满智慧的书籍。few修饰可数名词复数。根据汉语提示“世纪”和空前“past few”可知，此处指时间跨度，“世纪”对应的英文是century，其复数形式为centuries。故填centuries 【33题详解】 句意：在学习中取得真正的卓越需要更多。形容词real修饰名词。此处指学习所能达到的成就高度，根据音标/'greɪtnəs/可知单词为greatness，意为“伟大、卓越”，是不可数名词。故填greatness。 【34题详解】 句意：每次我们复习它们时，我们可以想得更远并获得新的见解。根据汉语提示“更远”和空前“think”可知，此处强调思考的深度和广度上的递进，需用副词比较级修饰动词think，far的比较级further符合语境。 【35题详解】 句意：他或她也试图根据所学内容预测未来可能发生的事情。根据音标/prɪˈdɪkt/和空前“tries to”可知，此处表示基于已知推断未知的能力，predict“预测”符合音标和语境；try to do sth.意为“试图做某事”，to后接动词原形。故填predict。 B) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 School life is not always perfect. Last month, my best friend Lin Tao and I ____36____ (fight) over a group project. We both wanted to be the leader and said some bad words. That night, I had a ____37____ (sleep) night.

The next day at school, I saw him sitting alone. “I’m sorry for what I said,” I told him. Lin Tao looked at me, ____40____ (nod) and said, “Me too.” We talked everything out. That experience taught me that honesty can repair a broken friendship, making our school life richer. 【答案】36. fought 37. sleepless 38. truth 39. sadder 40. nodded 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者与好友因项目发生争吵，之后反思、道歉，修复友谊的故事，告诉我们诚实能够修复破碎的友情。 【36题详解】 句意：上个月，我最好的朋友林涛和我为一个小组项目争吵。根据时间状语“Last month”，句子描述过去发生的动作，要用一般过去时，fight的过去式为fought。 【37题详解】 句意：那天晚上，我度过一个无眠的夜晚。后面是名词night，需要形容词作定语；结合后文躺在床上回想争吵，说明夜晚没有睡着，sleep的形容词形式sleepless表示“无眠的”。 【38题详解】 句意：真相是，我误解了他，这让我感到更加难过。定冠词The后面接名词作句子主语，true的名词形式是truth，表示“真相，事实”。 【39题详解】 句意：真相是，我误解了他，这让我感到更加难过。even用来修饰形容词比较级，表示“更加……”，sad的比较级是sadder。 【40题详解】 句意：林涛看着我，点了点头说：“我也是。”本句为一般过去时，and连接并列谓语，和looked时态保持一致，nod的过去式是nodded。 C) 根据对话内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使对话内容完整、正确。 stands by your side a little bit sense of humour keep secrets get along with Middle school life is colorful because of the friends we make.

This building is the same height as that one. (改为同义句) This building is ________ ________ ________ that one. 【答案】 ①. as ②. tall ③. as 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座建筑和那座建筑高度相同。原句中核心结构“the same height as”是关键词，意为“和……高度一样”，改写同义句时，可使用“as + 形容词原级 + as”的固定结构进行替换，height对应的描述人/物高度的常用形容词为tall，因此填入as tall as。 47. The white shirt is 80 yuan, and the red one is 90 yuan. (合并为一句) The white shirt is ________ ________ the red one. 【答案】 ①. cheaper ②. than 【解析】 【详解】句意：这件白衬衫售价80元，这件红衬衫售价90元。原句给出两件衬衫的价格对比，白衬衫价格更低，合并为一句需要用形容词比较级结构，cheap的比较级是cheaper，后接than引出对比对象，构成“cheaper than”表示“比……更便宜”。 48.

(同义句改写) It is kind of my friend to ________ me ________ useful advice. 【答案】 ①. provide ②. with 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的朋友太好了，给我提供有用的建议。改为同义句，应用provide sb. with sth.“为某人提供某物”，to是动词不定式符号，其后跟动词原形。故填provide；with。 49.

(改为同义句) My brother ________ to play the guitar ________ ________ when he was ten. 【答案】 ①. learned ②. by ③. himself 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的弟弟十岁的时候自学了弹吉他。原句中“taught himself”是核心短语，含义为“自学”，对应的同义表达可以用“learn to do sth. by oneself”结构；原句时态为一般过去时，因此动词learn要变为过去式learned，反身代词和主语My brother对应，用by himself。 B)根据汉语意思，用英语完成下列句子。（每空4个词以内，每题1分，满分5分） Words bank: extracurricular activities 课外活动 50. 在我们的学校里，有大量的课外活动可供选择。 In our school, there are ____________ extracurricular activities to choose from. 【答案】 a lot of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“大量的”是关键词，a lot of是固定短语，含义为“大量的、许多的”，既可以修饰可数名词复数，也可以修饰不可数名词；此处空后extracurricular activities是可数名词复数形式，符合该短语的用法要求。 51. 我的老师总是鼓励我们尝试新事物，比如机器人俱乐部。 My teacher always encourages us to ____________ at new things, such as the Robot Club. 【答案】 have a go 【解析】 【详解】原句中“尝试”是核心关键词，对应固定短语have a go，空前有不定式符号to，此处直接使用动词原形短语have a go，符合encourage sb. to do sth.的搭配规则。 52. 当然，她也提醒我们要意识到平衡学业和兴趣的重要性。 Of course, she also reminds us to ____________ the importance of balancing schoolwork and hobbies. 【答案】 be aware of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“意识到”是关键词，表示“意识到”的固定短语是be aware of；remind sb. to do sth.结构中to后面接动词原形。 53. 所以，在享受活动的同时，我们也必须专注于我们的功课。 Therefore, while enjoying the activities, we must also ____________ our studies. 【答案】 focus on 【解析】 【详解】原句中“专注于”是核心关键词，对应的固定短语是focus on。句中情态动词must后需要接动词原形，focus on用原形形式即可。 54. 现在，我正期待着即将到来的校运会，希望能过得像去年一样精彩。 Now, I’m ____________ the upcoming sports meeting, and I hope it will be as exciting as last year. 【答案】 looking forward to 【解析】 【详解】原句中“正期待着”是关键词；“期待”用look forward to表达，根据“正期待着”可知，句子是现在进行时，其结构是“am/is/are+动词的现在分词”，be动词am题干中已给出，和主语I“我”缩写成了I’m；look的现在分词是looking，因此，应填looking forward to。 七、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。 From hill to hill no bird in flight From path to path no man in sight. A lonely fisherman afloat Is fishing snow in lonely boat. Fishing in Snow by Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Liu Zongyuan The world has lost a great translator. Xu Yuanchong, one of the world’s most famous Chinese translators, died at the age of 100 on June 17, 2021. Born in 1921, Xu went to the National Southwestern Associated University to study English in 1938, where he showed an interest in translation. Xu started his career in 1958 by translating poems by Mao Zedong into English and French. But most of his translations were completed and published after 1983, when he started working at Peking University. Xu put his heart and soul into translation for more than 60 years. He published more than 100 translated novels, anthologies (选集) and plays in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers around the world. A translated work should be just as beautiful as the original (原作), Xu said. He used his creativity to make this possible. To make the text readable and relatable to readers, he preferred changing the translated wording when necessary to directly translating words from one language to another. He translated Chinese poems into rhyming verses (诗句) in both English and French. Thanks to his translations, English and French-speaking readers are able to have a better understanding of Chinese literature. In 2010, he received the lifetime achievement award from the Translators Association of China. In 2014, Xu became the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature (北极光杰出文学翻译奖), one of the world’s highest prizes for a translator. Xu was hard-working. He lived in an old house near Peking University. At the age of 93, he started translating Shakespeare. Before he died he had been working on The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James at the speed of 1,000 words a day, working until 3 to 4 a.m., then sleep for about three hours and get up at 6 a.m. to go on working. Xu’s passion for translation continued until the end of his life, just like the epigraph (题词) of The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭), a classic Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) play by Tang Xianzu, that he translated—“Love once begun, will never end”. Xu Yuanchong—A famous ____55____ General information Xu was born in 1921 in China. He was ____56____ in translation when studying English in the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938. After 1983, he started working at Peking University.

About the language school, we can know some information EXCEPT its ________. A. place B. website C. phone number D. email address B Do you want to know PE classes in other countries? In China, students must have PE tests both in middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to run and do sit-ups and pull-ups (引体向上). However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools. In US high schools, we must take two terms of PE. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also kickball and dodgeball (躲避球) and some other special American sports. I didn’t know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher let me sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played them in order to let me know the rules. We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR (心肺复苏). We also learned how to do first aid (急救). These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. We also learn self-defense (自卫) in PE classes, such as taekwondo (跆拳道), karate (空手道) skills and Chinese kung fu. It is helpful. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think? 24. What should Chinese students do to get good grades on the PE tests? A. Learn to provide first aid. B. Play kickball and dodgeball. C. Learn taekwondo. D. Run and do sit-ups and pull-ups. 25. Which of these things did the writer NOT learn about in PE classes? A. How to play sports. B. How to do CPR. C. How to get self-defense skills. D. How to treat sports injuries. 26. The story is mainly about ________. A. the US PE classes B. the writer’s favorite sports C. the PE test D. the Chinese PE classes C I am Barbara Sloan, 51 years old. I want to share my experience about an unusual friendship. How many friendships last for decades without meeting? That’s what happened between me and my French pen friend Michèle. We began writing to each other as teenagers, but 36 years passed before we met face-to-face. I started looking for pen friends because I was the only child in my family and I felt lonely. I still remember when my father brought me an envelope containing (包含) Michèle’s first letter and photo. Over the years, we exchanged family pictures, gifts, and souvenirs. In 1972, I married Alan, a decorator. Michèle sent me a golden necklace as a wedding gift. When my children Lindsey, Duncan and Robert were born, she sent presents every Christmas. In November 1998, while wrapping Michèle’s Christmas present, Lindsey suggested, “Why don’t you visit her?” A few weeks later, I wrote to Michèle proposing a visit. The next year, I flew to France. At the airport, after waiting anxiously, a blonde woman called out, “Barbara?” I responded, “Michèle?” We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together. I considered staying longer, but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home. Two years later, Michèle wrote that she was planning to visit Britain. Alan and I went to the airport but waited in vain. Concerned, Alan called Michele’s home. Her husband told us she had died in an accident hours before her flight. I was devastated (悲痛欲绝的) and stopped speaking for two weeks. Later, I continued writing letters to Michèle’s family as if she were still alive. 27. What is the main reason Barbara started looking for pen friends? A. She wanted to learn French. B. She liked collecting photos and gifts. C. She felt lonely. D. She enjoyed writing letters to strangers. 28. Why did Barbara return home from France earlier than planned? A. Because she missed her husband Alan. B. Because Michèle had to leave for work. C. Because her son Robert was sick. D. Because she ran out of money. 29. What is the correct order of the following events? a. Michèle sent Barbara a wedding gift. b. Barbara met Michèle in France. c. Michèle died in an accident. d. Barbara married Alan. A. d-a-b-c B. a-d-b-c C. d-b-a-c D. a-b-d-c 30. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain how to find pen friends. B. To describe a trip to France. C. To share a special friendship story. D. To teach about writing letters. 五、填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A) 根据括号中所给的中文提示或音标写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 True learning is far more than memorizing facts for exams.

The next day at school, I saw him sitting alone. “I’m sorry for what I said,” I told him. Lin Tao looked at me, ____40____ (nod) and said, “Me too.” We talked everything out. That experience taught me that honesty can repair a broken friendship, making our school life richer.

A lonely fisherman afloat Is fishing snow in lonely boat. Fishing in Snow by Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Liu Zongyuan The world has lost a great translator. Xu Yuanchong, one of the world’s most famous Chinese translators, died at the age of 100 on June 17, 2021. Born in 1921, Xu went to the National Southwestern Associated University to study English in 1938, where he showed an interest in translation. Xu started his career in 1958 by translating poems by Mao Zedong into English and French. But most of his translations were completed and published after 1983, when he started working at Peking University. Xu put his heart and soul into translation for more than 60 years. He published more than 100 translated novels, anthologies (选集) and plays in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers around the world. A translated work should be just as beautiful as the original (原作), Xu said. He used his creativity to make this possible. To make the text readable and relatable to readers, he preferred changing the translated wording when necessary to directly translating words from one language to another. He translated Chinese poems into rhyming verses (诗句) in both English and French. Thanks to his translations, English and French-speaking readers are able to have a better understanding of Chinese literature. In 2010, he received the lifetime achievement award from the Translators Association of China. In 2014, Xu became the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature (北极光杰出文学翻译奖), one of the world’s highest prizes for a translator. Xu was hard-working. He lived in an old house near Peking University. At the age of 93, he started translating Shakespeare. Before he died he had been working on The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James at the speed of 1,000 words a day, working until 3 to 4 a.m., then sleep for about three hours and get up at 6 a.m. to go on working. Xu’s passion for translation continued until the end of his life, just like the epigraph (题词) of The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭), a classic Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) play by Tang Xianzu, that he translated—“Love once begun, will never end”.
