D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文通过父亲让儿子对比室内外两株植物的生长经历，揭示了伟人需要经历风雨、克服困难才能成长的道理。 【1题详解】 句意：谁是伟大的人，他们是如何变得伟大的？ 根据后文父亲通过植物生长的对比演示讲解成为伟人的方式，how“如何”用于询问方式方法，契合小男孩提问的逻辑。what“什么”、when“何时”、where“哪里”均不符合此处询问成为伟人的途径的语境。 【2题详解】 句意：然后他让儿子把其中一棵种在房子里面，另一棵种在房子外面。 根据后文“the other one outside the house”可知，此处形成内外对比，与outside对应的是inside。 【3题详解】 句意：你认为两种植物中哪一种会更大？ 根据下文男孩回答“The plant inside the house will grow bigger”可知，父亲问的是哪棵更大，bigger符合题意。 【4题详解】 句意：房子里的植物会长得更大，因为它更安全。 前句“长得更大”是结果，后句“更安全”是原因，前后句是因果关系，应用because连接。 【5题详解】 句意：没有人会在那里照顾它。 根据前文“not safe at all”及后文“Animals may eat it”可知，外面植物无人照料，care for符合语境。 【6题详解】 句意：让我们耐心地等待吧。 植物生长需要时间，等待过程需要耐心，patiently符合语境。 【7题详解】 句意：然后男孩去学习了，四年后他回到了家。 根据后文植物长成一棵大树可知，需要较长时间，只有years符合植物长成大树的时间逻辑。 【8题详解】 句意：房子里的这株植物没发生任何变化，它是安全的。 根据后文“it is safe”及对比外面长成的大树可知，里面植物没什么变化，否定含义应用Nothing。 【9题详解】 句意：当男孩走到外面时，他很惊讶地看到一棵大树。 根据下文“The boy couldn’t believe his eyes”可知，男孩感到意外。说明结果与预期不符，应填surprised。 【10题详解】 句意：他不明白为什么外面的植物能长得比里面的大得多。 四年后的结果与男孩最初的猜测不符，因此感到困惑。所以男孩无法理解原因，应用understand。 【11题详解】 句意：房子外面的植物经历了每个季节和许多困难。 植物生长会经历自然界的季节变化。every season符合植物生长的自然规律。 【12题详解】 句意：它感觉不到天气变化。 室内植物受保护，无法感知外界天气变化，应用feel。 【13题详解】 句意：它没有得到足够的阳光，所以长不大。 室内的植物通常缺乏阳光，影响光合作用和生长，阳光是植物生长的关键因素，应用sunlight。 【14题详解】 句意：这就是秘诀：要成为伟人，一个人必须经历过多次失败。 父亲利用植物故事揭示做人的道理，后文“To become a great person, one must have failed many times, faced many difficulties”父亲揭示成为伟人的方法或秘诀，key“关键，秘诀”符合文意。 【15题详解】 句意：这就是关键：要成为伟人，一个人必须经历过多次失败，面对过许多困难，并解决过这些困难。 成为伟人往往需要解决遇到的困难，solved与difficulties 搭配合理，表示“克服困难”。 二、阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读以下三篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A Are you a student of Grade Nine this year and looking for a wonderful way to spend your summer holiday?

Lily, an outgoing basketball star, always had a smile on her face. Emma, a quiet book lover, spent most of her spare time reading. They hardly spoke, thinking that they might have nothing in common. One rainy afternoon, Lily stayed late at school for basketball practice. As she hurried to leave, she fell and sprained (扭伤) her ankle (脚踝). “Ouch！” she cried. She couldn’t walk and felt worried when she realized that she had left her phone in her locker. She didn’t know what to do at that time. Just then, Emma appeared, holding a large umbrella and carrying some books in her arms. Seeing how worried Lily was, she hurried over without thinking twice. “Are you okay?” Emma asked. “I think I hurt my ankle,” Lily replied. She had never expected to get help from the quiet girl. Without thinking twice, Emma helped Lily stand up and handed her the umbrella. She even called a taxi and sent her to the hospital. She stayed with her until Lily’s parents arrived. The next day, Lily thanked Emma sincerely. “You are much kinder than I expected,” she said. Emma smiled, “Friends help each other, right?” From that day on, everything changed. Lily realized that even though they were different, Emma was as reliable (可信赖的) as any other teammate. Emma, in turn, looked up to Lily for her courage.

Emma, a quiet book lover...”可知，两人性格外向与安静不同，爱好篮球与阅读也不同，得出两人性格和爱好不同的结论，与选项D相符。 【22题详解】 根据文章第四段“She had never expected to get help from the quiet girl.”可知， Lily 从未指望得到这位安静女孩的帮助，说明她对Emma的帮助感到意外和惊讶，与选项C相符。 【23题详解】 根据文章第五段“Without thinking twice, Emma helped Lily stand up... She even called a taxi...”及第6段“You are much kinder than I expected”可知，Emma毫不犹豫提供帮助且被评价为善良，得出她善良且乐于助人的结论，与选项A相符。 【24题详解】 根据文章第七段“From that day on, everything changed...

They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties (困难) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar (相似的) to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 26. From the article, we know trees learn to protect themselves at ________. A. 1-3 years old B. 4 years old C. 15 years old D. 20-25 years old 27. What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 实心的 B. 空心的 C. 茁壮的 D. 健康的 28. About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order (顺序)? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 29. What can we infer (推测) from this article? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Older trees can be great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect them. D. The life of the tree is the same as the life of people. 30. What’s the structure (结构) of the article? (P: Paragraph段落) A. B. C. D. 【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. C 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了树在不同生长阶段的特点，强调了树对人类和自然的重要性，呼吁人们保护树木。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves.”可知，树在1~3岁时学会保护自己。故选A。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals.”可知，树变得“hollow”或者部分死亡后能成为小动物的家，结合常识可知，树中间空了才能成为小动物的家，所以“hollow”意为“空心的”。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves.”可知，1~3岁时树学会保护自己；根据“At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly...”可知，4岁时树开始快速生长；根据“At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit.”可知，15岁时树开始开花结果；根据“When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult.”可知，20~25岁时树成为真正的成年树；根据“Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die.”可知，树逐渐变老死亡。所以正确的顺序是c-a-e-b-d。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years.”可知，如果我们学会保护成年树，它就能健康长寿地生长。故选C。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段总体介绍树对地球的重要性；第二、三、四、五段分别介绍了树在不同生长阶段的特点；第六段总结树的生命和我们的生活相似，呼吁人们保护树。所以选项D符合文章结构。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) The word “family” has special meanings to everyone.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文论述了拥有幸福家庭的重要性，并给出了四条实现家庭幸福的建议。 【31题详解】 前文提到幸福家庭是所有人的追求，但家庭成员间难免会因性格、习惯等差异产生矛盾，后文分段给出了具体的营造家庭幸福的方法，B选项“那么我们如何才能实现家庭幸福呢？”承接上文的问题，引出下文的具体建议，起到承上启下的作用。 【32题详解】 本段核心内容是沟通的重要性，提到沟通可以随时随地发生，通过交流能感受到彼此的关心，F选项“经常和彼此交谈”准确概括了本段的核心主旨，适合作为本段的小标题。 【33题详解】 本段核心内容是分担家务能拉近家庭成员的距离，每个人都要为保持家庭整洁出一份力，A选项“分担家务”准确概括了本段的核心主旨，适合作为本段的小标题。 【34题详解】 本段核心内容是陪伴家人十分重要，没有什么比和家人共度时光更重要，E选项“多花时间陪伴彼此”准确概括了本段的核心主旨，适合作为本段的小标题。 【35题详解】 前文提到要多花时间陪伴家人，后文提到这样做既能享受深爱，还能留下美好回忆，D选项“一起吃饭或者一起旅行都是很好的选择”具体举例说明了陪伴家人的可行方式，承接上下文逻辑通顺。 三、短文填空 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 alone, than, we, usual, danger, big, begin, during, situation, hundred Amur tigers are interesting animals.

Though we are different in many ways, we have one thing in common. We both love sports. After school, we often play tennis for an hour. Once, I couldn’t answer some difficult questions in a math test, so I opened the book and then wrote the answers down. Luckily, no one saw me. But after the test, Li Xia said she saw me open the book. She thought it’s not right for me to do that. My face turned red. Then she took out of her notebook and showed me how to work out the problems. This is my best friend. What a serious and caring girl she is! Let our friendship last forever. That’s all.

Lily, an outgoing basketball star, always had a smile on her face. Emma, a quiet book lover, spent most of her spare time reading. They hardly spoke, thinking that they might have nothing in common. One rainy afternoon, Lily stayed late at school for basketball practice. As she hurried to leave, she fell and sprained (扭伤) her ankle (脚踝). “Ouch！” she cried. She couldn’t walk and felt worried when she realized that she had left her phone in her locker. She didn’t know what to do at that time. Just then, Emma appeared, holding a large umbrella and carrying some books in her arms. Seeing how worried Lily was, she hurried over without thinking twice. “Are you okay?” Emma asked. “I think I hurt my ankle,” Lily replied. She had never expected to get help from the quiet girl. Without thinking twice, Emma helped Lily stand up and handed her the umbrella. She even called a taxi and sent her to the hospital. She stayed with her until Lily’s parents arrived. The next day, Lily thanked Emma sincerely. “You are much kinder than I expected,” she said. Emma smiled, “Friends help each other, right?” From that day on, everything changed. Lily realized that even though they were different, Emma was as reliable (可信赖的) as any other teammate. Emma, in turn, looked up to Lily for her courage.

Differences between Lily and Emma C Trees are one of the oldest plants of our Earth. They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties (困难) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar (相似的) to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 26. From the article, we know trees learn to protect themselves at ________. A. 1-3 years old B. 4 years old C. 15 years old D. 20-25 years old 27. What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 实心的 B. 空心的 C. 茁壮的 D. 健康的 28. About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order (顺序)? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 29. What can we infer (推测) from this article? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Older trees can be great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect them. D. The life of the tree is the same as the life of people. 30. What’s the structure (结构) of the article? (P: Paragraph段落) A.
