D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述Fern收养小猪Wilbur，后将其卖到Zuckerman农场。Wilbur因无聊听鹅建议逃跑，却在奔跑中思考真正想要的生活。 【21题详解】 句意：她和她的父母及兄弟住在农场。 根据前文“Fern is a young eight-year-old girl. She lives on a farm”，结合空后并列的“and brother”，可知此处描述她的家庭成员。应用parents，表示“父母”，属于核心家庭成员。friends“朋友”、farmers“农民”、teachers“老师”均不属于和她、兄弟共同居住的核心家庭成员范畴，不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：Fern把它带回家并给它取名Wilbur。 根据空后宾语“it Wilbur”，后文提到这是小猪的名字，应用names，表示“给……命名”。thinks“认为”、sees“看见”、feels“感觉”均无法构成“+宾语+名称”的命名搭配，语义不通。 【23题详解】 句意：她用瓶子喂它并和它玩耍。 根据语境，喂养小猪仔常用奶瓶。应用bottle，表示“瓶子”。chicken“鸡”、ball“球”、cake“蛋糕”均不符合喂养刚出生的小猪的合理工具逻辑。 【24题详解】 句意：Zuckerman先生也有一个农场，他把Wilbur养在自家农场的谷仓里。 根据前文“Fern’s Dad sells Wilbur to Mr. Zuckerman”，空后“in the barn of his farm”说明Zuckerman先生把Wilbur安置在谷仓里饲养。应用keeps，表示“饲养”。picks“捡起”、greets“问候”、circles“环绕”均无法表达“饲养动物”的含义，和场景不匹配。 【25题详解】 句意：这个谷仓是一个温暖且美好的地方，Wilbur在它的新家里住得很舒服。 根据空后并列的“and nice place”，后文提到“Wilbur is comfortable”，可知此处是描述谷仓的正向属性，和舒适感对应。应用warm，表示“温暖的”，属于正向环境描述，和“舒适”的感受逻辑一致。hot“炎热的”、dark“黑暗的”都是负面属性，无法搭配“nice”营造舒适感；funny“滑稽的”不能用来描述居住的谷仓环境。 【26题详解】 句意：这个谷仓是一个温暖且美好的地方，Wilbur在它的新家里住得很舒服。 根据前文“Zuckerman先生把Wilbur安置在自家农场的谷仓里”，此处指代Wilbur的新居所。应用home，表示“家”。building“建筑物”指代太宽泛，不特指它的居住处；grade“年级”、country“国家”和农场谷仓的场景完全无关。 【27题详解】 句意：慢慢地，Wilbur觉得在这里找不到任何有趣的事情。 根据前文Fern不能带Wilbur出围栏，小猪的活动受限，因此会觉得生活缺乏趣味。应用fun，表示“有趣的”。good“好的”、easy“简单的”、real“真实的”均无法对应后文它想要逃出去找新鲜感的铺垫语境。 【28题详解】 句意：有一天Fern没有像往常一样来，院子里那只总喜欢重复自己话的鹅喊道：“从谷仓跑出去！从谷仓跑出去！” 根据定语从句“who always likes to repeat herself”，以及下一句“……to the goose”给出的提示，此处指代爱重复说话的鹅。应用goose，表示“鹅”。duck“鸭子”、sheep“绵羊”、cow“奶牛”与后文信息不符。 【29题详解】 句意：Wilbur不假思索地听从了鹅的话。 根据上下文，此处表示Wilbur不假思索地听从了鹅的提议。应用listens，listen to强调“听从、听取”，符合Wilbur接受鹅建议的语境。talks to“与……交谈”，walks to“走向”，turns to“转向、求助于”均不符合接受建议的逻辑。 【30题详解】 句意：他看了看谷仓周围的木板，高兴地发现一块板破了。 根据“finds one broken”及想逃跑的愿望，可知威尔伯高兴地发现了破木板。应用 happily，表示“高兴地”，符合他发现逃跑机会时的积极情绪。sadly“悲伤地”，usually“通常”，hardly“几乎不”，均不符合他发现破木板时的语境。 【31题详解】 句意：他小心地移开那块破木板，悄悄溜了出去。 根据前文“He takes away the broken board carefully”及逃跑情境，可知需避免被发现。应用quietly，表示“悄悄地”，符合他不想被人发现、偷偷溜出谷仓的动作逻辑。differently“不同地”，kindly“友善地”，busily“忙碌地”均不符合偷跑场景。 【32题详解】 句意：但是当他穿过院子的时候，Zuckerman太太看到了他，喊来了她的丈夫。 根据后文“Mr. Zuckerman…tries to catch him”，可知叫的是Mr. Zuckerman，Mrs.与 Mr.是夫妻关系。应用husband，表示“丈夫”。uncle“叔叔”，father“父亲”，brother“兄弟”，均不符合Mrs. Zuckerman与Mr. Zuckerman的关系。 【33题详解】 句意：其他动物都兴奋地看着，为小猪加油，Zuckerman先生追赶Wilbur并试图抓住他。 根据“cheering the pig on”，可知动物们在围观。应用watch，表示“观看”，符合动物们在一旁围观、给小猪助威的场景。count“数数”、take“带走”、play“玩耍’均无法搭配“cheering the pig on”的助威场景。 【34题详解】 句意：其他动物都兴奋地看着，为小猪加油，Zuckerman先生追赶Wilbur并试图抓住他。 空后为tries to catch him，说明Zuckerman先生的动作是在小猪身后追赶。应用runs after，表示“追赶”，符合想要抓住逃跑小猪的动作逻辑。looks at“看”、starts with“以……开始”、laughs at“嘲笑”都无法对应“试图抓住逃跑的猪”的动作指向。 【35题详解】 句意：小猪跑着跑着，思考着：“这是我想要的吗？还是我只想待在这个舒适的家里？我想要享受的生活究竟是什么样的？” 根据空后引号内容“Is this what I want? Or would I just like to stay in the nice home? What is the life I will enjoy?”可知，这是威尔伯在逃跑过程中内心的思考。应用thinking，表示“思考”，符合后文自问自答的心理活动。answering“回答”，dreaming“做梦”，reading“阅读”，均不能引出后面的内心疑问。 四、阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分) A At Your Service Hikers on Mount Tai in Shandong Province were surprised to find a robot dog among them.

They need money for lunch and fun. They need money for toys and games. At first, a kid may only need a little money from time to time. But the things he or she needs get more expensive over time. At some point, the money from parents is not enough. Then it is time for that young person to get a job. The first job that a person has is usually not the job he or she will keep all through life. Young people often change jobs before they find the jobs they want to keep. In the US, most people go through ten different jobs before they are forty years old! With young people changing jobs so often, it is interesting that one kind of job stands out from the rest. There are more than 300 million people in the US. Imagine a group of ten of those people in the US. Of these ten people, one or two of them have worked at the same restaurant, and that is true for every ten people in the US. What is the restaurant that has a job for almost everyone? It is McDonald’s. 41. Why do kids need more money when they get older? A. Because parents don’t give them money. B. Because the things they need cost more. C. Because they want to buy gifts. D. Because they need money for college. 42. What is NOT mentioned as something that kids need money for? A. Education. B.

McDonald’s: The Best Job in America. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了青少年随着年龄增长需要金钱从而寻找工作，美国年轻人换工作频繁，但麦当劳是一份许多人都有过的共同工作经历。 【41题详解】 根据文章第一段“But the things he or she needs get more expensive over time.”可知，孩子长大后需要的东西变得更贵了，因此需要更多钱。 【42题详解】 根据文章第一段“They need money for lunch and fun.

Imagine a group of ten of those people in the US. Of these ten people, one or two of them have worked at the same restaurant...”可知，这份工作相比其他工作更特别且普遍，与“This job is more special than others.”意思相近。 【45题详解】 根据文章第三段“What is the restaurant that has a job for almost everyone?

People who write in Chinese, however, use characters (文字) that stand for words or ideas. Historians believe Chinese writing began as early as 1500 BC. The earliest forms were called “oracle bones (甲骨文).” These were animal bones marked with pictures and symbols. Besides writing on bones, the Chinese also made marks on turtle shells. By 1400 BC, the Chinese writing system had become more complex (复杂的).It had more than 2,500 characters. Around 200 BC, Chinese characters became standardized (标准化的). This means that everyone used the same characters. Many modern Chinese characters are similar (相似的). to those from 2,000 years ago. For example, the character that means man in the Lishu system from 200 BC is similar to the character that means man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system (现代简化系统), of the twentieth century. People have worked for centuries to change Chinese characters. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters so that more people could learn to read. This simpler system is used in mainland China and Singapore. Traditional characters are used in Taiwan. Hong Kong, and Macau. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today. 46. When do historians believe Chinese writing first began? A. Around 200 BC. B. As early as 1500 BC. C. By 1400 BC. D. In the twentieth century. 47. According to the passage, what were the two earliest materials used for Chinese writing? A. Paper and silk. B. Wood and bamboo. C. Animal bones and fur. D. Animal bones and turtle shells. 48. How many characters did the Chinese writing system have by 1400BC? A. More than 2,500. B. Exactly 2,200. C. About 2,000. D. Less than 1,500. 49. Why did the Chinese government simplify many characters in the twentieth century? A. To make traditional characters more popular in Taiwan. B. To help more people learn to read. C. To make Chinese writing look like English letters. D. To change all characters to be different from ancient ones. 50. What can we learn from the passage about modern Chinese characters? A. They are all completely different from characters 2,000 years ago. B. People in Singapore use traditional Chinese characters. C. Some modern characters are still similar to ancient ones. D. The Jiantizi system was created around 200 BC. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. B 50.

She loves to prove (证明) things by using simple experiments (实验). I, on the other hand, love reading and writing, but not science. One day she said to me, “We just learned about air pressure (气压) in our science class. I wonder how much you know about it?” “Not too much,” I said. She made a funny face. “If you fill a glass with water and put a piece of paper on top, and then turn the glass over, what will happen?” “You’ll get the floor wet,” I answered. “No. The water will stay in the glass,” she said. I told her to prove it. Allison loves a challenge. The next day, I met Allison at her house. She had a glass filled with water and a small sheet of paper. She placed the paper on top of the glass and pressed down hard on the paper. Next, she held one hand on the paper and turned the glass over. I stood watching with a smile on my face. Surely, all the water would spill (泼出) onto the floor. “Are you afraid to move your hand?” I asked with a smug look. She didn’t answer. Suddenly, she took her hand away. I quickly stepped back, thinking my feet would get wet when the water rushed out from the glass. But nothing happened. Not a drop of water spilled from the overturned glass. Allison smiled. “See,” she said, “this little paper holds all the water back. Do you believe me now?” I should have known she would be right. “You can see that the paper holds the water back, but you can’t see why,” Allison continued. “It’s air pressure. It’s all around us, but we can’t see it. We can only see its effects (影响). Air pressure on the paper holds it in place. It’s stronger than the gravity (重力) that is trying to force the water out.” As the expression goes, “_________.” Now, I had to believe in the existence (存在) of air pressure. It’s something we can’t see, but it’s there. 51. What did Allison use to do the air pressure experiment? A. A glass, some water, and a piece of paper. B. A glass, some oil, and a piece of cloth. C. A bowl, some water, and a piece of paper. D. A bottle, some juice, and a piece of plastic. 52. What does the underlined word “smug” in Paragraph 8 probably mean? A. Feeling angry and upset. B. Feeling sure that one is right and others are wrong. C. Feeling worried and nervous. D. Feeling surprised and excited. 53. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. The writer already knew air pressure well before the experiment. B. Allison thought the water would make the floor wet. C. The writer was surprised when no water fell out of the glass. D. Gravity is stronger than air pressure in the experiment. 54. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. Practice makes perfect B. Seeing is believing C. Actions speak louder than words D. Knowledge is power 55. How does the writer tell the story? A. By comparing different ideas. B. By following the order of time and events. C. By giving examples in class. D. By asking questions and then answering them. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. B 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了热爱科学的朋友Allison通过一个简单的倒置水杯实验，向热爱读写但不信科学的“我”证明了气压的存在，最终让“我”相信了眼见为实的道理。 【51题详解】 根据文章第7段“She had a glass filled with water and a small sheet of paper.”可知，Allison用来做实验的物品是装满水的玻璃杯和一张纸。 【52题详解】 根据文章第8段“Surely, all the water would spill... I asked with a smug look.”可知，作者当时确信水会洒出来，带着一种自以为是的表情询问，表现出觉得自己正确而对方错误的心理。 【53题详解】 根据文章第5段“You’ll get the floor wet,”及第9段“I quickly stepped back, thinking my feet would get wet... But nothing happened”可知，作者原本预期水会洒出弄湿地板所以后退，但结果水没洒，说明作者对此感到惊讶。 【54题详解】 根据文章最后一段“Now, I had to believe in the existence of air pressure. It’s something we can’t see, but it’s there."可知，作者通过亲眼看到实验结果才相信了气压的存在，符合“眼见为实”的含义。 【55题详解】 根据文章整体行文脉络“One day... The next day... Suddenly...”可知，文章按照时间顺序和事件发展的先后顺序讲述了实验的过程和结果。 五、原文填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 56.

It carried heavy goods and walked up and down the mountain easily. This robot is testing better ways to collect garbage in mountainous areas. It’s said that the robot dog is designed to carry things up to 120 kilograms. Perhaps someday it will also offer tired tourists a lift up the mountain! Fly Safe with Giant Airbags A team in Dubai has designed a “crash-safe plane”! The plane can find out when there is an emergency (紧急情况) and let out giant airbags from its nose, belly and tail in just two seconds. These airbags make a soft “cover” to keep passengers safe. The design is called Project Rebirth. It has been nominated(提名) for a James Dyson Award because it is very creative. ________________ A company from Poland has made a flying bike.

B As kids get older, they need money. They need money for lunch and fun. They need money for toys and games. At first, a kid may only need a little money from time to time. But the things he or she needs get more expensive over time. At some point, the money from parents is not enough. Then it is time for that young person to get a job. The first job that a person has is usually not the job he or she will keep all through life. Young people often change jobs before they find the jobs they want to keep. In the US, most people go through ten different jobs before they are forty years old! With young people changing jobs so often, it is interesting that one kind of job stands out from the rest. There are more than 300 million people in the US. Imagine a group of ten of those people in the US. Of these ten people, one or two of them have worked at the same restaurant, and that is true for every ten people in the US. What is the restaurant that has a job for almost everyone? It is McDonald’s. 41. Why do kids need more money when they get older? A. Because parents don’t give them money. B. Because the things they need cost more. C. Because they want to buy gifts. D.

Historians believe Chinese writing began as early as 1500 BC. The earliest forms were called “oracle bones (甲骨文).” These were animal bones marked with pictures and symbols. Besides writing on bones, the Chinese also made marks on turtle shells. By 1400 BC, the Chinese writing system had become more complex (复杂的).It had more than 2,500 characters. Around 200 BC, Chinese characters became standardized (标准化的). This means that everyone used the same characters. Many modern Chinese characters are similar (相似的). to those from 2,000 years ago. For example, the character that means man in the Lishu system from 200 BC is similar to the character that means man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system (现代简化系统), of the twentieth century. People have worked for centuries to change Chinese characters. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters so that more people could learn to read. This simpler system is used in mainland China and Singapore. Traditional characters are used in Taiwan. Hong Kong, and Macau. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today. 46. When do historians believe Chinese writing first began? A. Around 200 BC. B. As early as 1500 BC. C. By 1400 BC. D. In the twentieth century. 47. According to the passage, what were the two earliest materials used for Chinese writing? A. Paper and silk. B. Wood and bamboo. C. Animal bones and fur. D. Animal bones and turtle shells. 48. How many characters did the Chinese writing system have by 1400BC? A. More than 2,500. B. Exactly 2,200. C. About 2,000. D. Less than 1,500. 49. Why did the Chinese government simplify many characters in the twentieth century? A. To make traditional characters more popular in Taiwan. B. To help more people learn to read. C. To make Chinese writing look like English letters. D. To change all characters to be different from ancient ones. 50. What can we learn from the passage about modern Chinese characters? A. They are all completely different from characters 2,000 years ago. B. People in Singapore use traditional Chinese characters. C. Some modern characters are still similar to ancient ones. D. The Jiantizi system was created around 200 BC. D Allison is a friend of mine who loves science. She loves to prove (证明) things by using simple experiments (实验). I, on the other hand, love reading and writing, but not science. One day she said to me, “We just learned about air pressure (气压) in our science class. I wonder how much you know about it?” “Not too much,” I said. She made a funny face. “If you fill a glass with water and put a piece of paper on top, and then turn the glass over, what will happen?” “You’ll get the floor wet,” I answered. “No. The water will stay in the glass,” she said. I told her to prove it. Allison loves a challenge. The next day, I met Allison at her house. She had a glass filled with water and a small sheet of paper. She placed the paper on top of the glass and pressed down hard on the paper. Next, she held one hand on the paper and turned the glass over. I stood watching with a smile on my face. Surely, all the water would spill (泼出) onto the floor. “Are you afraid to move your hand?” I asked with a smug look. She didn’t answer. Suddenly, she took her hand away. I quickly stepped back, thinking my feet would get wet when the water rushed out from the glass. But nothing happened. Not a drop of water spilled from the overturned glass. Allison smiled. “See,” she said, “this little paper holds all the water back. Do you believe me now?” I should have known she would be right. “You can see that the paper holds the water back, but you can’t see why,” Allison continued. “It’s air pressure. It’s all around us, but we can’t see it. We can only see its effects (影响). Air pressure on the paper holds it in place. It’s stronger than the gravity (重力) that is trying to force the water out.” As the expression goes, “_________.” Now, I had to believe in the existence (存在) of air pressure. It’s something we can’t see, but it’s there. 51. What did Allison use to do the air pressure experiment? A. A glass, some water, and a piece of paper. B. A glass, some oil, and a piece of cloth. C. A bowl, some water, and a piece of paper. D. A bottle, some juice, and a piece of plastic. 52. What does the underlined word “smug” in Paragraph 8 probably mean? A. Feeling angry and upset. B. Feeling sure that one is right and others are wrong. C. Feeling worried and nervous. D. Feeling surprised and excited. 53. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. The writer already knew air pressure well before the experiment. B. Allison thought the water would make the floor wet. C. The writer was surprised when no water fell out of the glass. D. Gravity is stronger than air pressure in the experiment. 54. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. Practice makes perfect B. Seeing is believing C. Actions speak louder than words D. Knowledge is power 55. How does the writer tell the story? A. By comparing different ideas. B. By following the order of time and events. C. By giving examples in class. D. By asking questions and then answering them. 五、原文填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 56. I like ________ (了解) all about them just for a few hours every week. 57. His money box is full of ________. 58.
