I’ve been thinking a lot. You say this change is good. I respectfully disagree with it. I’ve decided that 11 should go. I have my reasons, and they’re pretty good. It doesn’t snow in the desert. There are no lakes there, either. 12 will we do during the holidays—roll around in the sand? The chart on our wall shows 13 I’ve grown since I was little. We can’t keep track of it if we leave. If I go to a new school, everyone will already have their own friend groups. Where would I fit in? Speaking of school, do you think it’s a good idea 14 in the middle of the year? My grades will suffer (变差). There you have it. I’m sure you can see that it’s just not a choice for me. If you really have to go, we can work 15 out first, and give it a try. I’ll live with Jessica’s family, and maybe you can visit me on weekends. Think about it. Love, Allison 11．A．both you and I B．either you or I C．neither you nor I D．not only you but also I 12．A．What B．Who C．Which D．Where 13．A．how good B．how much C．how long D．how often 14．A．leave B．leaving C．to leave D．left 15．A．something B．everything C．anything D．nothing 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．B 14．C 15．A 【导语】本文是Allison给父母写的一封信，表达了他不同意搬家的决定。他通过列举理由来说明自己为何不想搬到沙漠中去生活。 【详解】11．句意：我认为我们都不应该去。 both you and I你们和我都；either you or I要么你们要么我；neither you nor I你们和我都不；not only you but also I不但你们而且我。根据“I respectfully disagree with it. ”可知Allison不赞成父母的意见，认为他们都不应搬走。故选C。 12．句意：假期我们该做什么呢——在沙子里打滚吗？ What什么；Who谁；Which哪个；Where哪里。根据“...will we do...”可知此句询问的是“做什么”，what充当do的宾语。故选A。 13．句意：墙上的图表显示了我从小到大成长了多少。 how good多么好；how much多少；how long多长时间；how often多么频繁。图表用来显示我成长了多少，所以用how much。故选B。 14．句意：说到学校，你们认为在年中转学是个好主意吗？ leave离开；leaving离开（动名词）；to leave离开（不定式）；left离开（过去式）。此处为“it’s + 名词+to do”句式，it作形式主语，用“to leave”作真正的主语。故选C。 15．句意：如果你们真要去，我们可以先商量一下解决办法，试试看。 something某些事物；everything所有事情；anything任何事情；nothing没有事情。根据“If you really have to go”可知用“work something out”表示“解决一些事情”；所有事情都解决不现实，anything一般用在否定句和疑问句中，nothing什么事也不解决，不合常理。故选A。 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Hi! My name is Adam and I’m a freshman in senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big difficulty. The first week was a little 16 . First, I had to think very carefully about which 17 I wanted to take. I spent hours looking through the course list, marking possible choices with a yellow marker and crossing out (删掉) ones that didn’t 18 my schedule, until my desk was covered in crumpled notes. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: Maths, English, Chemistry, World History, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very 19 language, but I hope to be fluent and get an A when I graduate. My adviser recommended I sign up for advanced literature since I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. During the tryout, I 20 an important pass that would have made a goal. The coach said I had courage but needed more practice, which hurt more than I wanted to say. There is no doubt that I was unhappy, but I won’t stop trying. I’ll find a way to 21 on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and 22 food to homeless people in the community. Last week, I was serving hot soup 23 the old man began telling me his army stories, and the work suddenly allowed me to meet more people from different backgrounds. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, 24 since some of them already seem to know the material really well, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m 25 to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 16．A．peaceful B．boring C．colourful D．challenging 17．A．tasks B．courses C．hobbies D．methods 18．A．fail B．mix C．fit D．mention 19．A．simple B．ancient C．difficult D．practical 20．A．received B．caught C．kicked D．missed 21．A．decide B．finish C．improve D．promise 22．A．hand out B．pick up C．put away D．try out 23．A．which B．when C．after D．that 24．A．finally B．greatly C．hardly D．especially 25．A．calm B．pleased C．stressed D．lonely 【答案】 16．D 17．B 18．C 19．C 20．D 21．C 22．A 23．B 24．D 25．B 【导语】本文讲述了Adam从初中升入高中，面临着诸多挑战。他需要仔细选择课程，参加课外活动，还要适应高中更繁重的学习任务。尽管过程充满困难，但他依然积极面对，对未来充满期待。 【详解】16．句意：第一周有点具有挑战性。 peaceful平静的；boring无聊的；colourful多彩的；challenging具有挑战性的。根据“Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big difficulty.”可知，从初中升入高中是困难的，所以第一周是具有挑战性的。故选D。 17．句意：首先，我必须仔细考虑我想选哪些课程。 tasks任务；courses课程；hobbies爱好；methods方法。根据“I spent hours looking through the course list...”可知，是在考虑选哪些课程。故选B。 18．句意：我花了几个小时浏览课程列表，用黄色记号笔标记可能的选择，并划掉那些不适合我时间表的课程，直到我的桌子上堆满了皱巴巴的笔记。 fail失败；mix混合；fit适合；mention提及。根据“crossing out (删掉) ones that didn’t...my schedule”可知，是划掉不适合自己时间表的课程。故选C。 19．句意：我知道中文是一门非常难的语言，但我希望毕业时能说得很流利并得到A。 simple简单的；ancient古老的；difficult困难的；practical实用的。根据“but I hope to be fluent and get an A when I graduate”可知，中文很难，但希望能学好。故选C。 20．句意：在选拔赛中，我错过了一个本可以进球的重要传球。 received收到；caught抓住；kicked踢；missed错过。根据“an important pass that would have made a goal”可知，是错过了进球的传球。故选D。 21．句意：我会自己想办法提高，这样明年我就能加入球队了。 decide决定；finish完成；improve提高；promise承诺。根据“so that I can make the team next year”可知，是为了明年能加入球队，所以要提高自己。故选C。 22．句意：每个星期三，我们在施粥所工作，给社区里无家可归的人分发食物。 hand out分发；pick up捡起；put away收起来；try out尝试。根据“food to homeless people in the community”可知，是给无家可归的人分发食物。故选A。 23．句意：上周，当我正在给一位老人端热汤时，他开始给我讲他的军队故事，这份工作突然让我认识了更多来自不同背景的人。 which哪个；when当……时候；after在……之后；that那个。根据“I was serving hot soup...the old man began telling me his army stories”可知，是当正在端汤时，老人开始讲故事，用when引导时间状语从句。故选B。 24．句意：我有点担心在我的高级课程中跟不上其他学生，尤其是因为他们中的一些人似乎已经对材料掌握得很好，而且要适应所有的家庭作业会相当困难。 finally最终；greatly非常；hardly几乎不；especially尤其。根据“since some of them already seem to know the material really well”可知，前后是递进关系，用especially表示“尤其”。故选D。 25．句意：不过，我很高兴能来到这里。 calm平静的；pleased高兴的；stressed有压力的；lonely孤独的。根据“Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.”可知，尽管学习不总是有趣的，但对未来做好了准备，所以是高兴来到这里。故选B。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列材料，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气). In the ancient days, they were important instructions for the farming production as well as people’s daily lives. Here are four solar terms and some details about them. Spring Equinox It starts around March 21st. During this time, swallows fly back to the north. It is also a good time for people to fly kites and eat spring vegetables. Summer Solstice It begins around June 21st. To celebrate Summer Solstice, people often give colored fans to each other because fans can help them cool down. Autumn Equinox It starts around September 23rd. From Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China will enter the cool autumn. It is a season for people to eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums (菊花). Winter Solstice It begins around December 22nd. It marks the arrival of the coldest season in a year. People usually make and eat dumplings with their family members. 26．Spring Equinox begins around ________. A．March 21st B．June 21st C．September 23rd D．December 22nd 27．To celebrate Summer Solstice, people ________. A．eat spring vegetables B．give each other colored fans C．enjoy chrysanthemums D．make and eat dumplings 28．Which of the sentences below is TRUE? A．People divided solar terms according to Gregorian calendar (公历). B．Solar terms are very important for farmers. C．We should eat mooncakes when Autumn Equinox arrives. D．Swallows fly to the south during Winter Solstice. 【答案】26．A 27．B 28．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国二十四节气中的春分、夏至、秋分和冬至四个节气的基本信息及相关习俗。 【详解】26．根据春分部分“It starts around March 21st.”可知，春分大约在3月21日开始。 27．根据夏至部分“To celebrate Summer Solstice, people often give colored fans to each other”可知，人们通过互赠彩扇来庆祝夏至。 28．根据第一段中“In the ancient days, they were important instructions for the farming production”可知，节气对农民非常重要。B项正确。 B An asteroid (小行星) as big as a plane will pass near Earth next week, but NASA experts say there’s no need to worry. Named 2025 OW, the space rock is about 210 feet long. It will fly by on July 28, at a distance of roughly 393,000 miles—1.6 times farther than the Moon’s average distance from Earth. Though it travels at 46,908 miles per hour, scientists call this normal. “This is very routine,” said Ian J. O’Neill from NASA．“If there was real danger, we would tell the public immediately through our blog.” Davide Farnocchia, another NASA expert, explained that such close passes are common. “Asteroids pass by Earth all the time—it’s part of how our solar system works,” he said. His team tracks several asteroids weekly; next week alone, they’re watching five. While 2025 OW is large enough to interest scientists, its path is well-known. “We know exactly where it will go, even for the next 100 years,” O’Neill added. Sadly, 2025 OW won’t be visible with binoculars. But Farnocchia mentioned a more exciting event: In April 2029, asteroid Apophis will come much closer—only 38,000 kilometers from Earth, even closer than some satellites. About 1,115 feet long, it will be visible to the naked eye. NASA notes that Earth gets hit by about 100 tons of space dust daily, but most is harmless. Big, dangerous hits are very rare. “An asteroid like 2025 OW might come close yearly, but hitting Earth happens only once every 10,000 years,” Farnocchia said. NASA keeps watching these objects to keep the public informed. 29．How far will asteroid 2025 OW be from Earth when it passes by? A．210 feet. B．393,000 miles. C．38,000 kilometers. D．1.6 miles. 30．Why do NASA experts think 2025 OW is not dangerous? A．It is too small to cause harm. B．It will pass by very quickly. C．Its orbit is clearly understood. D．It will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. 31．What is NASA’s attitude towards asteroid close approaches? A．Worried. B．Curious. C．Relaxed. D．Uninterested. 【答案】29．B 30．C 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了NASA专家称，名为2025OW的小行星下周将近距离掠过地球且无危险，此类情况常见，同时提及2029年另一小行星将更近且可见，地球常被太空尘埃撞击但多无害，NASA会持续监测。 【详解】29．细节理解题。根据“Named 2025 OW, the space rock is about 210 feet long. It will fly by on July 28, at a distance of roughly 393,000 miles-1.6 times farther than the Moon’s average distance from Earth.”可知，小行星2025 OW飞过时与地球的距离约为393,000英里。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据“While 2025 OW is large enough to interest scientists, its path is well-known. ‘We know exactly where it will go, even for the next 100 years,’ O’Neill added.”可知，美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的专家认为2025 OW没有危险，是因为它的运行轨迹非常明确，人们能精确知道它未来的走向。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据“An asteroid (小行星) as big as a plane will pass near Earth next week, but NASA experts say there’s no need to worry.”“‘This is very routine,’ said Ian J. O’Neill from NASA.”以及“NASA keeps watching these objects to keep the public informed.”可知，NASA专家表示无需担心小行星2025 OW的接近，还称这种情况很常规，并且会持续监测相关天体以告知公众，由此可判断NASA对小行星近距离接近地球的态度是放松的。故选C。 C Scrooge was a cold, greedy, mean, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. A frost (霜) covered his head, his eyebrows, and his pointed chin. His office was quite cold even at Christmas. Nobody ever stopped Scrooge in the street to say. “My dear Scrooge. How are you?” No beggars asked him for a penny. No children asked him. “What time is it?” No man or woman ever asked Scrooge for directions. And even dogs ran away from him. Once upon a time, on Christmas Eve, old Scrooge sat in his office. It was a cold and foggy day. He could hear the people outside, stamping their feet on the pavement to warm themselves. It was only three o’clock, but it was already quite dark. The candles were flickering (闪烁) in the windows of the neighbouring offices. The fog poured in through every keyhole. It was so thick that you could hardly see the houses on the other side of the street. The door of Scrooge’s office was open so that he could keep his eye on his clerk (职员), Bob Cratchit. Bob sat in a cold, dark and small room. He was writing letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but Bob’s fire was even smaller. Bob couldn’t add any more coal because Scrooge kept the coal box in his room. So Bob put on his winter woolen scarf and tried to warm himself by the candle. “Merry Christmas, Uncle, and God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew (侄子) Fred. “Bah!” said Scrooge. “Humbug (胡说)!” “Christmas is a humbug, Uncle!” said Scrooge’s nephew. “You don’t mean that, I’m sure.” “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be happy? You’re poor to be happy.” “Oh,” said his nephew, laughing. “What reason have you got to be sad? You’re rich enough. Don’t be angry. Uncle!” said his nephew. “What else can I be?” replied Scrooge. “I live in a world of fools. Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but no richer,” said Scrooge. —Taken from A Christmas Carol 32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the third paragraph? A．The weather. B．The window. C．The fog. D．The candle. 33．Why did Bob put on his winter woolen scarf and try to warm himself by the candle? A．Because the candle could keep him warm enough. B．Because he lost all his money. C．Because the door of Scrooge’s office was open. D．Because Scrooge wasn’t willing to give him coal to warm the room. 34．What can we know from the conversations between Scrooge and his nephew? A．Scrooge cared for nothing but money. B．Scrooge didn’t care about his nephew at all. C．Scrooge’s nephew didn’t feel happy on Christmas Eve. D．Scrooge’s nephew didn’t understand why Scrooge felt so happy on Christmas Eve. 35．What can we infer from the passage? A．Scrooge was kind and generous. B．Scrooge’s clerks were stupid. C．Scrooge’s nephew was poor but happy. D．Scrooge didn’t have any money. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文节选自《圣诞颂歌》，描绘了冷酷吝啬的商人斯克鲁奇在圣诞前夜的状态，通过他与侄子的对话和对职员的刻薄行为，展现了他唯利是图、冷漠无情的性格。 【详解】32．根据第三段中“The fog poured in through every keyhole. It was so thick…”可知，雾从钥匙孔涌进来，它太浓了。这里的“It”指代前一句的主语“The fog”。 33．根据第四段中“Bob couldn’t add any more coal because Scrooge kept the coal box in his room.”可知，鲍勃不能加煤是因为煤箱在斯克鲁奇的房间里，即斯克鲁奇不愿意给他煤来暖和房间。 34．根据对话内容，斯克鲁奇认为圣诞节是“paying bills without money”和“no richer”，这表明在他眼中钱是最重要的，他只关心钱。 35．根据文中侄子快乐的声音“cried a happy voice”以及斯克鲁奇对他说“You’re poor to be happy.”，可以推断出侄子虽然贫穷但是很快乐。 D Cockroaches (蟑螂) can go where humans cannot. They are famously tough and can survive weeks without food or water. These qualities make them perfect for life-saving missions. That’s why a team from the University of Osaka in Japan and Diponegoro University in Indonesia are trying to turn cockroaches into cyborgs (半机器人). Their research was published in Soft Robotics. A cyborg is a living creature with some robotic parts that improve its bodily functions. ? You simply need to combine nature with tech, the researchers say. Cockroaches are good at moving in small spaces. What about having these tiny creatures carry a high-tech “backpack”? The equipment could act like a remote control for the insect. “Creating a robot is not easy,” explains lead author Mochammad Ariyanto. Cyborg cockroaches cost less. These insects exist in large numbers, after all. And they come with their own ready-made “operating system”. Even the most advanced robots may break down while moving. That’s especially true when it comes to vertical (垂直的) movement. A simple staircase can be a challenge for many robots. Besides, it can be difficult for regular robots to move in small spaces. But cockroaches can climb walls and get into tight gaps. To test their idea, the team put some new tools on the cockroaches. Sensors were placed on their backs to collect data about the environment. Researchers also implanted electrodes (植入电极) on the antennae and body. These electrodes help to guide the insects. When they get lost, the electrodes send signals to direct them in the right direction. Scientists then put the cyborg cockroaches in an obstacle course (障碍训练场). They gave them just a few directional signals. These cockroaches did most of the work themselves to reach their objective. They climbed over obstacles and even flipped back over when they fell. These bug-bots could be the future of disaster search and rescue. After earthquakes, for example, they can get into tiny spaces to find survivors. They can also send back important data from places too risky for humans to go. If you are worried, these tasks won’t harm the cockroaches. Robotic parts are designed to be easily removed once the mission ends. That means the insect can return to normal life without long-term side effects. 36．Which question is the most suitable for ? A．Is it easy to make a cyborg cockroach B．How do you make a cyborg cockroach C．Where do you make a cyborg cockroach D．What do you need for a cyborg cockroach 37．What advantage do cyborg cockroaches have over regular robots? A．They finish the task much more quickly. B．They become smarter with the robotic parts. C．They needn’t change the battery during the task. D．They can climb walls and get into tight gaps. 38．What is the purpose of the obstacle course test on the cyborg cockroaches? A．To collect information for future search and rescue work. B．To prove the scientists’ choice of cockroaches is correct. C．To see if they can finish the difficult task by themselves. D．To compare their performance with that of regular robots. 39．Why does the author mention that the robotic parts can be easily removed in the last paragraph? A．To prove that these insects are easy to control. B．To show the scientists respect the life of every insect. C．To describe how this scientific experiment is carried out. D．To tell how advanced the technology is in this experiment. 40．What is the best title for this passage? A．Cockroaches as Cyborg Helpers. B．How to Make a Cyborg Cockroach. C．Robots versus Cyborg Cockroaches. D．Building Robots for Disaster Rescue. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．C 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了日本和印度尼西亚的科研团队试图将蟑螂变成半机器人，用于救生任务，介绍了半机器人蟑螂的特点、优势、测试情况以及相关保障等内容。 【详解】36．第三段提到“You simply need to combine nature with tech, the researchers say. Cockroaches are good at moving in small spaces. What about having these tiny creatures carry a high - tech ‘backpack’? The equipment could act like a remote control for the insect.”，这些内容是在说明制作半机器人蟑螂的方式，即把自然和技术相结合，让蟑螂携带高科技“背包”等，所以“How do you make a cyborg cockroach”这个问题最适合放在此处。 37．第五段指出“Even the most advanced robots may break down while moving. That’s especially true when it comes to vertical (垂直的) movement. A simple staircase can be a challenge for many robots. Besides, it can be difficult for regular robots to move in small spaces. But cockroaches can climb walls and get into tight gaps.”，说明普通机器人在垂直移动和在小空间移动方面有困难，而蟑螂可以爬墙、进入狭窄缝隙。 38．第六段提到“Scientists then put the cyborg cockroaches in an obstacle course (障碍训练场). They gave them just a few directional signals. These cockroaches did most of the work themselves to reach their objective.”，表明把半机器人蟑螂放在障碍训练场，给少量方向信号，看它们能否自己完成大部分工作到达目标，即看它们能否自己完成困难任务。 39．最后一段提到“If you are worried, these tasks won’t harm the cockroaches. Robotic parts are designed to be easily removed once the mission ends. That means the insect can return to normal life without long - term side effects.”，说明提到机器人部件可轻松移除是为了表明这些任务不会伤害蟑螂，体现了科学家尊重每一只昆虫的生命。 40．文章主要围绕将蟑螂变成半机器人用于救生任务展开，介绍了半机器人蟑螂在救生方面的作用等，“Cockroaches as Cyborg Helpers”能很好地概括文章主旨。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41-45的相应横线上。 on your mind  leave  with practice  have difficulty in  brighter  practise Making a good poster requires careful planning.

The 47 (标准) was very high, and students from different grades joined the 48 (竞赛) to win first prize. I spent weeks practicing, but on the day of the event, I made a silly mistake and lost. At first, I felt a deep 49 (伤心), thinking I had wasted my time. However, my teacher told me that every 50 (选择) I made in preparation had improved my skills. I realized the real value was not the prize, but the progress I achieved. This experience taught me to face challenges with courage and to never fear making mistakes. 【答案】46．grammar 47．standard 48．competition 49．sadness 50．choice 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者参加学校英语语法竞赛的经历，虽然最终失利，但从中领悟到努力的价值和成长的意义。 【详解】46．句意：上个月，我们学校举办了一场英语语法竞赛。“语法”对应英文为“grammar”，此处作定语修饰“competition”。故填grammar。 47．句意：比赛的标准非常高，不同年级的学生都参加了比赛，争取第一名。“标准”对应英文为“standard”，此处作主语，谓语动词是“was”，故用单数形式。故填standard。 48．句意：比赛的标准非常高，不同年级的学生都参加了比赛，争取第一名。“竞赛”对应英文为“competition”，与上文“an English ... competition”呼应。故填competition。 49．句意：起初，我感到一种深深的悲伤，认为我浪费了时间。“a”修饰单数名词，“伤心”对应英文为“sadness”。故填sadness。 50．句意：然而，我的老师告诉我，我在准备中所做的每一个选择都提高了我的技能。“every”修饰单数名词，“选择”对应英文为“choice”。故填choice。 C)根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确，有一项多余。 After failing in the math exam, Sam was filled with 51 (sad).

He was so 53 (patient) with himself that he would rather 54 (solve) all the problems alone than accept others’ advice. However, Lily gently told him that friendship is 55 (value) in difficult times. She stayed and reviewed the mistakes with him patiently. Slowly, he realized that sharing his worries made him feel much better. 【答案】51．sadness 52．explaining 53．impatient 54．solve 55．valuable 【导语】本文主要介绍了Sam数学考试失利后感到悲伤和失望，在朋友莉莉的帮助和开导下，他最终意识到分享烦恼和友谊的价值。 【详解】51．句意：数学考试不及格后，Sam充满了悲伤。根据“was filled with”可知，sad为形容词，此处应用sad的名词形式sadness。故填sadness。 52．句意：当他的朋友莉莉来帮忙时，他实际上很难解释自己的感受。根据“had difficulty”可知，have difficulty (in) doing sth“做某事有困难”，因此需用explain的动名词作宾语。故填explaining。 53．句意：他对自己如此没有耐心，以至于宁愿独自解决所有问题，也不愿接受别人的建议。根据“so...that”和“would rather...than...”可知，此处表示缺乏耐心，patient为形容词“耐心的”，此处应用patient的反义词impatient“没有耐心的”。故填impatient。 54．句意：他对自己如此没有耐心，以至于宁愿独自解决所有问题，也不愿接受别人的建议。根据“would rather”可知，would rather do...than do...“宁愿做……也不愿做……”，因此此处应用solve的动词原形。故填solve。 55．句意：然而，Lily温柔地告诉他，友谊在困难时期是宝贵的。根据“friendship is”可知，is后需接形容词作表语，value为名词，此处应用value的形容词形式valuable。故填valuable。 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 阅读下面的短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词，63-65题不多于10词） PEER PRESSURE Peers are people who are about the same age as you. Peer pressure (压力) is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it,or are trying to make you do it. Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn’t do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right. If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing. Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something: · Could I get into trouble for doing this? · Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings? · Does this go against my values? · Will I feel sorry or embarrassed if my family, teachers, or others find out about it? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure. If people keep pressuring you, say, “I do not want to talk about it anymore.” Then walk away and feel proud that you made a good decision. Dealing with peer pressure What Peer pressure comes when your friends or people of your age make you feel 56   to complete something you wouldn’t otherwise do. It can be both positive and negative. Why You want to make your friends pleased so that you can be 57 by your friends. You are forced to do it though it is 58 your values or beliefs. You worry about being 59 at if you don’t stay in step with others. How Ask yourself several questions when you 60 pressure from your peers to take action. You can be 61 that you are experiencing negative peer pressure if your answer is“yes”. If the pressure continues, 62 to talk about it and walk away proudly. Your experience Share an example of how you solved your peer pressure. Situation:I once felt pressured when 63 Action: 64 . Result: 65 . 【答案】 56．stressed 57．accepted 58．against 59．laughed 60．feel 61．sure 62．refuse 63．my friends smoke and let me do that 64．I said “no”, then walked away 65．I no longer made friends with them 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了同龄压力的含义和影响及应对措施。 【详解】56．根据“Peer pressure is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something.”可知同龄压力是指当朋友或同龄人使你感到做某事时有“压力”，故填stressed。 57．根据“If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers”可知人们经常想要被同龄人“接受”而试图去取悦对方，故填accepted。 58．根据“It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right.”可知同龄人有时强迫你做的事可能“违背”你的价值观，信仰，但是为了取悦他们，你可能被迫去做，故填against。 59．根据“Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing.”可知，有时人们害怕如果他们没有做其他人正在做的事会被“嘲笑”，be laughed at“被嘲笑”，故填laughed。 60．根据“Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something”可知当你做一些事情时“感觉到”同龄压力，可以问自己一些问题，故填feel。 61．根据“If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure.”如果你的答案是“是”，那么你可以“确定”自己正在感受坏的同龄压力，be sure that“确定”。故填sure。 62．根据“If people keep pressuring you, say, ‘I do not want to talk about it anymore.’”可知如果人们一直强迫你对你施压，可以“拒绝”谈论，refuse“拒绝”，此处为祈使句，用动词原形开头。故填refuse。 63．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为my friends smoke and let me do that。 64．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可，注意和上题保持连贯性。参考答案为I said “no”, then walked away。 65．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可，注意和上题保持连贯性。参考答案为I no longer made friends with them。 B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。 Are you an introvert (someone who likes being alone) or an extrovert (someone who enjoys being with others)? Many people will be able to answer that question in a second. They may see it as one of those things that cannot be changed—as standard as their birthday. But a new study says something d 66 —how extroverted you are can change over time. You might not stay the same kind of person forever. It d 67 on how you handle (应对) your stress. The study, led by researchers at Michigan State University, found that as people get better at d 68 with their stress, they become more extroverted and open to new experiences. The researchers f 69 more than 2,000 people over an 18-year period from early middle age. During those 18 years, the people in the study completed the diaries three times. Each time, they wrote for eight days. In their diaries, they talked about their f 70 , their personality, and the things that made them stressed. Lead author William Chopik said, “The cool thing about this study is that, as you got better at handling stress day by day, you also became more extroverted, agreeable and o 71 to new experiences over time.” He added, “These s 72 improvements add up and change your personality over time.” However, he said that the opposite was also t 73 . The study showed that people who found it difficult to handle became more introverted, less agreeable and less open to new experiences. A 74 the study didn’t talk about how to better handle stress, Chopik said that its results can give people a little hope. He explained, “If you can find ways to m 75 your feelings, you might be able to change your personality slowly.” Chopik also said that people who are more extroverted, agreeable and open to new experiences are more likely to be happier. 【答案】 66．different/ifferent 67．depends/epends 68．dealing/ealing 69．followed/ollowed 70．feelings/eelings 71．open/pen 72．small/mall 73．true/rue 74．Although/lthough 75．manage/anage 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人的外向程度会随着时间而改变，这取决于你如何处理压力。 【详解】66．句意：但一项新的研究却给出了不同的说法——你的外向程度会随着时间而改变。根据“But a new study says something...how extroverted you are can change over time.”可知，新的研究与人们普遍认为的观点不同，结合首字母，different“不同的”符合语境，形容词作后置定语修饰something。故填different。 67．句意：这取决于你如何处理压力。根据“It...on how you handle (应对) your stress.”可知，此处是depend on短语，意为“取决于”，时态是一般现在时，主语是It，动词用三单。故填depends。 68．句意：这项由密歇根州立大学研究人员领导的研究发现，随着人们更好地应对压力，他们会变得更加外向，乐于接受新体验。根据“as people get better at...with their stress”可知，此处是deal with短语，意为“处理”，at是介词，其后用动名词作宾语。故填dealing。 69．句意：研究人员对2000多人进行了为期18年的跟踪调查，从中年早期开始。根据“The researchers...more than 2,000 people over an 18-year period”可知，研究人员跟踪调查了2000多人，follow“跟随”，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填followed。 70．句意：在日记中，他们谈论了自己的感受、性格以及让他们感到压力的事情。根据“In their diaries, they talked about their..., their personality, and the things that made them stressed.”可知，在日记中谈论感受，feeling“感受”，此处表示复数含义，使用名词复数。故填feelings。 71．句意：这项研究的首席作者William Chopik说：“这项研究最妙的一点在于：当你日复一日地更善于应对压力时，久而久之，你也会变得更加外向、随和，并且乐于接纳新的体验。”根据“you also became more extroverted, agreeable and...to new experiences over time”可知，此处是be open to短语，意为“对……开放”，指乐于接纳新的体验。故填open。 72．句意：这些小的进步积累起来，随着时间的推移改变了你的性格。根据“These...improvements add up and change your personality over time.”可知，小的进步积累起来改变性格，small“小的”，形容词作定语修饰improvements。故填small。 73．句意：然而，他说，相反的情况也是成立的。根据“However, he said that the opposite was also...”可知，相反的情况也是成立的，true“真实的”，在句中作表语。故填true。 74．句意：虽然这项研究没有讨论如何更好地应对压力，但Chopik表示，其结果可以给人们带来一些希望。根据“...the study didn’t talk about how to better handle stress, Chopik said that its results can give people a little hope.”可知，前后两句构成让步关系，用although引导让步状语从句，句首首字母大写。故填Although。 75．句意：他解释说：“如果你能找到管理情绪的方法，你也许就能慢慢改变自己的性格。”根据“If you can find ways to...your feelings, you might be able to change your personality slowly.”可知，找到管理情绪的方法，manage“管理”，用于不定式结构中，使用动词原形。故填manage。 六、书面表达（共1小题；满分15分） 76．曾子说：“士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。”作为新时代的青少年，我们应该怎样成为更好的自己? 请你根据以下内容提示, 以“How to be a better teenager”为题，用英语写一篇演讲稿, 并在你校英语节开幕式上作发言。 要求： 1.词数90词左右，文章开头已给出，不计入词数； 2.文章应包括所给思维导图中所有提示内容，可适当发挥，使文章连贯； 3.文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息； How to be a better teenager Hello, everyone, Teenagers are the hope of the country.

My name is Adam and I’m a freshman in senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big difficulty. The first week was a little 16 . First, I had to think very carefully about which 17 I wanted to take. I spent hours looking through the course list, marking possible choices with a yellow marker and crossing out (删掉) ones that didn’t 18 my schedule, until my desk was covered in crumpled notes. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: Maths, English, Chemistry, World History, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very 19 language, but I hope to be fluent and get an A when I graduate. My adviser recommended I sign up for advanced literature since I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. During the tryout, I 20 an important pass that would have made a goal. The coach said I had courage but needed more practice, which hurt more than I wanted to say. There is no doubt that I was unhappy, but I won’t stop trying. I’ll find a way to 21 on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and 22 food to homeless people in the community. Last week, I was serving hot soup 23 the old man began telling me his army stories, and the work suddenly allowed me to meet more people from different backgrounds. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, 24 since some of them already seem to know the material really well, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m 25 to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 16．A．peaceful B．boring C．colourful D．challenging 17．A．tasks B．courses C．hobbies D．methods 18．A．fail B．mix C．fit D．mention 19．A．simple B．ancient C．difficult D．practical 20．A．received B．caught C．kicked D．missed 21．A．decide B．finish C．improve D．promise 22．A．hand out B．pick up C．put away D．try out 23．A．which B．when C．after D．that 24．A．finally B．greatly C．hardly D．especially 25．A．calm B．pleased C．stressed D．lonely 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列材料，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气). In the ancient days, they were important instructions for the farming production as well as people’s daily lives. Here are four solar terms and some details about them. Spring Equinox It starts around March 21st. During this time, swallows fly back to the north. It is also a good time for people to fly kites and eat spring vegetables. Summer Solstice It begins around June 21st. To celebrate Summer Solstice, people often give colored fans to each other because fans can help them cool down. Autumn Equinox It starts around September 23rd. From Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China will enter the cool autumn. It is a season for people to eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums (菊花). Winter Solstice It begins around December 22nd. It marks the arrival of the coldest season in a year. People usually make and eat dumplings with their family members. 26．Spring Equinox begins around ________. A．March 21st B．June 21st C．September 23rd D．December 22nd 27．To celebrate Summer Solstice, people ________. A．eat spring vegetables B．give each other colored fans C．enjoy chrysanthemums D．make and eat dumplings 28．Which of the sentences below is TRUE? A．People divided solar terms according to Gregorian calendar (公历). B．Solar terms are very important for farmers. C．We should eat mooncakes when Autumn Equinox arrives. D．Swallows fly to the south during Winter Solstice. B An asteroid (小行星) as big as a plane will pass near Earth next week, but NASA experts say there’s no need to worry. Named 2025 OW, the space rock is about 210 feet long. It will fly by on July 28, at a distance of roughly 393,000 miles—1.6 times farther than the Moon’s average distance from Earth. Though it travels at 46,908 miles per hour, scientists call this normal. “This is very routine,” said Ian J. O’Neill from NASA．“If there was real danger, we would tell the public immediately through our blog.” Davide Farnocchia, another NASA expert, explained that such close passes are common. “Asteroids pass by Earth all the time—it’s part of how our solar system works,” he said. His team tracks several asteroids weekly; next week alone, they’re watching five. While 2025 OW is large enough to interest scientists, its path is well-known. “We know exactly where it will go, even for the next 100 years,” O’Neill added. Sadly, 2025 OW won’t be visible with binoculars. But Farnocchia mentioned a more exciting event: In April 2029, asteroid Apophis will come much closer—only 38,000 kilometers from Earth, even closer than some satellites. About 1,115 feet long, it will be visible to the naked eye. NASA notes that Earth gets hit by about 100 tons of space dust daily, but most is harmless. Big, dangerous hits are very rare. “An asteroid like 2025 OW might come close yearly, but hitting Earth happens only once every 10,000 years,” Farnocchia said. NASA keeps watching these objects to keep the public informed. 29．How far will asteroid 2025 OW be from Earth when it passes by? A．210 feet. B．393,000 miles. C．38,000 kilometers. D．1.6 miles. 30．Why do NASA experts think 2025 OW is not dangerous? A．It is too small to cause harm. B．It will pass by very quickly. C．Its orbit is clearly understood. D．It will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. 31．What is NASA’s attitude towards asteroid close approaches? A．Worried. B．Curious. C．Relaxed. D．Uninterested. C Scrooge was a cold, greedy, mean, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. A frost (霜) covered his head, his eyebrows, and his pointed chin. His office was quite cold even at Christmas. Nobody ever stopped Scrooge in the street to say. “My dear Scrooge. How are you?” No beggars asked him for a penny. No children asked him. “What time is it?” No man or woman ever asked Scrooge for directions. And even dogs ran away from him. Once upon a time, on Christmas Eve, old Scrooge sat in his office. It was a cold and foggy day. He could hear the people outside, stamping their feet on the pavement to warm themselves. It was only three o’clock, but it was already quite dark. The candles were flickering (闪烁) in the windows of the neighbouring offices. The fog poured in through every keyhole. It was so thick that you could hardly see the houses on the other side of the street. The door of Scrooge’s office was open so that he could keep his eye on his clerk (职员), Bob Cratchit. Bob sat in a cold, dark and small room. He was writing letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but Bob’s fire was even smaller. Bob couldn’t add any more coal because Scrooge kept the coal box in his room. So Bob put on his winter woolen scarf and tried to warm himself by the candle. “Merry Christmas, Uncle, and God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew (侄子) Fred. “Bah!” said Scrooge. “Humbug (胡说)!” “Christmas is a humbug, Uncle!” said Scrooge’s nephew. “You don’t mean that, I’m sure.” “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be happy? You’re poor to be happy.” “Oh,” said his nephew, laughing. “What reason have you got to be sad? You’re rich enough. Don’t be angry. Uncle!” said his nephew. “What else can I be?” replied Scrooge. “I live in a world of fools. Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but no richer,” said Scrooge. —Taken from A Christmas Carol 32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the third paragraph? A．The weather.

These qualities make them perfect for life-saving missions. That’s why a team from the University of Osaka in Japan and Diponegoro University in Indonesia are trying to turn cockroaches into cyborgs (半机器人). Their research was published in Soft Robotics. A cyborg is a living creature with some robotic parts that improve its bodily functions. ? You simply need to combine nature with tech, the researchers say. Cockroaches are good at moving in small spaces. What about having these tiny creatures carry a high-tech “backpack”? The equipment could act like a remote control for the insect. “Creating a robot is not easy,” explains lead author Mochammad Ariyanto. Cyborg cockroaches cost less. These insects exist in large numbers, after all. And they come with their own ready-made “operating system”. Even the most advanced robots may break down while moving. That’s especially true when it comes to vertical (垂直的) movement. A simple staircase can be a challenge for many robots. Besides, it can be difficult for regular robots to move in small spaces. But cockroaches can climb walls and get into tight gaps. To test their idea, the team put some new tools on the cockroaches. Sensors were placed on their backs to collect data about the environment. Researchers also implanted electrodes (植入电极) on the antennae and body. These electrodes help to guide the insects. When they get lost, the electrodes send signals to direct them in the right direction. Scientists then put the cyborg cockroaches in an obstacle course (障碍训练场). They gave them just a few directional signals. These cockroaches did most of the work themselves to reach their objective. They climbed over obstacles and even flipped back over when they fell. These bug-bots could be the future of disaster search and rescue. After earthquakes, for example, they can get into tiny spaces to find survivors. They can also send back important data from places too risky for humans to go. If you are worried, these tasks won’t harm the cockroaches. Robotic parts are designed to be easily removed once the mission ends. That means the insect can return to normal life without long-term side effects. 36．Which question is the most suitable for ? A．Is it easy to make a cyborg cockroach B．How do you make a cyborg cockroach C．Where do you make a cyborg cockroach D．What do you need for a cyborg cockroach 37．What advantage do cyborg cockroaches have over regular robots? A．They finish the task much more quickly. B．They become smarter with the robotic parts. C．They needn’t change the battery during the task. D．They can climb walls and get into tight gaps. 38．What is the purpose of the obstacle course test on the cyborg cockroaches? A．To collect information for future search and rescue work. B．To prove the scientists’ choice of cockroaches is correct. C．To see if they can finish the difficult task by themselves. D．To compare their performance with that of regular robots. 39．Why does the author mention that the robotic parts can be easily removed in the last paragraph? A．To prove that these insects are easy to control. B．To show the scientists respect the life of every insect. C．To describe how this scientific experiment is carried out. D．To tell how advanced the technology is in this experiment. 40．What is the best title for this passage? A．Cockroaches as Cyborg Helpers. B．How to Make a Cyborg Cockroach. C．Robots versus Cyborg Cockroaches. D．Building Robots for Disaster Rescue. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41-45的相应横线上。 on your mind  leave  with practice  have difficulty in  brighter  practise Making a good poster requires careful planning.

Peer pressure (压力) is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it,or are trying to make you do it. Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn’t do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right. If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing. Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something: · Could I get into trouble for doing this? · Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings? · Does this go against my values? · Will I feel sorry or embarrassed if my family, teachers, or others find out about it? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure. If people keep pressuring you, say, “I do not want to talk about it anymore.” Then walk away and feel proud that you made a good decision. Dealing with peer pressure What Peer pressure comes when your friends or people of your age make you feel 56   to complete something you wouldn’t otherwise do. It can be both positive and negative. Why You want to make your friends pleased so that you can be 57 by your friends. You are forced to do it though it is 58 your values or beliefs. You worry about being 59 at if you don’t stay in step with others. How Ask yourself several questions when you 60 pressure from your peers to take action.

B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。 Are you an introvert (someone who likes being alone) or an extrovert (someone who enjoys being with others)? Many people will be able to answer that question in a second. They may see it as one of those things that cannot be changed—as standard as their birthday. But a new study says something d 66 —how extroverted you are can change over time. You might not stay the same kind of person forever. It d 67 on how you handle (应对) your stress. The study, led by researchers at Michigan State University, found that as people get better at d 68 with their stress, they become more extroverted and open to new experiences. The researchers f 69 more than 2,000 people over an 18-year period from early middle age. During those 18 years, the people in the study completed the diaries three times. Each time, they wrote for eight days. In their diaries, they talked about their f 70 , their personality, and the things that made them stressed. Lead author William Chopik said, “The cool thing about this study is that, as you got better at handling stress day by day, you also became more extroverted, agreeable and o 71 to new experiences over time.” He added, “These s 72 improvements add up and change your personality over time.” However, he said that the opposite was also t 73 . The study showed that people who found it difficult to handle became more introverted, less agreeable and less open to new experiences. A 74 the study didn’t talk about how to better handle stress, Chopik said that its results can give people a little hope. He explained, “If you can find ways to m 75 your feelings, you might be able to change your personality slowly.” Chopik also said that people who are more extroverted, agreeable and open to new experiences are more likely to be happier. 六、书面表达（共1小题；满分15分） 76．曾子说：“士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。”作为新时代的青少年，我们应该怎样成为更好的自己? 请你根据以下内容提示, 以“How to be a better teenager”为题，用英语写一篇演讲稿, 并在你校英语节开幕式上作发言。 要求： 1.词数90词左右，文章开头已给出，不计入词数； 2.文章应包括所给思维导图中所有提示内容，可适当发挥，使文章连贯； 3.文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息； How to be a better teenager Hello, everyone, Teenagers are the hope of the country.
