Jason
My parents took me to Hong Kong by plane. We went to an amusement park (游乐园). It’s just like a fairy tale kingdom (童话王国) but the ticket is very expensive—Adults (成人): ¥280 a person; Children aged 10—17: half price; Children aged below 10: free. During our stay there, we bought many special things.
Diana

21. Mr Smith wants to take his two children (an 8-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy) to the amusement park in Hong Kong. How much should he pay?
A. ¥180. B. ¥420. C. ¥540.
22. Which of the following is TRUE?

B. Bruce visited his uncle in Qinghai.
C. Diana visited an amusement park.
23. Where can you probably find the passage?

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四位朋友分享他们最近一次假期的旅行经历,包括目的地、游玩项目、花费以及个人感受等。
【21题详解】
根据Jason部分中的票价信息“Adults: ¥280 a person; Children aged 10—17: half price; Children aged below 10: free”可知,成人票价为280元,10至17岁儿童半价,10岁以下儿童免费。Mr Smith的两个孩子中,8岁的女孩免票,13岁的男孩享受半价(280÷2=140元)。因此,他需要支付的总费用为:280(他自己)+140(13岁男孩)+0(8岁女孩)=¥420。
【22题详解】
Bruce部分的“My uncle works in Qinghai. Last summer, I took a train to visit him.”直接说明,Bruce去了青海看望他的叔叔。
【23题详解】
文章末尾的“Click here to see more information.”这一典型的网络用语提示,这段文字最有可能出现在互联网上。
B
Have you ever seen (见过) this flower? The flower is really big. Its colour is red. Look closely, and you can find that it has teeth. It is called Rafflesia. It is the world’s largest flower. You can see it in the documentary (纪录片) The Green Planet.
The Green Planet shows us the world of plants. To find different plants from the world, the documentary workers travelled from the rainforest to some snowy places. They also climbed mountains and walked into deserts (沙漠). To find plants in the water, they even jumped into rivers. Those workers travelled to twenty-seven countries and it took them about four years to finish the documentary.
The documentary opens our eyes to the natural world, and it shares an important message with us. Plants are really vital in nature: They help us in many ways, such as making oxygen, cleaning the air and giving us fruit. They are our best friends. We shouldn’t damage (伤害) them. We need to protect them.
Always remember, what we do in the next 20 years has a big influence on the future of plants in the world.
24. How does the writer begin the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By giving an example. D. By listing numbers.
25. What is Rafflesia?
A. The name of a documentary. B. The name of a flower.
C. The name of a man. D. The name of an animal.
26. What do we know about the documentary?
A. It took about five years to finish it. B. The workers travelled to 20 countries to finish it.
C. The workers worked hard to find plants. D. It shows us the world of animals.
27. What does the underlined word “vital” mean?
A. Important. B. Meaningless. C. Fresh. D. Similar.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,以提问的方式引出世界上最大的花——大王花,并介绍了纪录片《绿色星球》的拍摄过程及其传达的核心理念,呼吁人们保护植物。
【24题详解】
文章第一段第一句“Have you ever seen this flower?”直接给出答案,作者通过提出一个疑问来引起读者的注意和兴趣,从而自然地引出下文对大王花和纪录片的介绍。
【25题详解】
第一段提到“It is called Rafflesia. It is the world’s largest flower”,说明Rafflesia是一种花的名字,且是世界上最大的花。
【26题详解】
第二段提到“the documentary workers travelled from the rainforest to some snowy places. They also climbed mountains and walked into deserts…finish the documentary”,纪录片工作者为寻找不同植物辗转雨林、雪地、沙漠,甚至跳入河中,历时约4年走访27个国家,可知工作人员为寻找植物付出了诸多努力。
【27题详解】
第三段提到“They help us in many ways, such as making oxygen, cleaning the air and giving us fruit”,说明植物在很多方面帮助我们,如制造氧气、净化空气和提供果实,由此可以推断出“vital”的意思是“重要的”。
C
Siene is a firefighter in the USA. It isn’t easy to become a firefighter there. Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are women firefighters.
When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消防预备学院). The WFPA trains women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself.
Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of wood for four minutes? How many exercises can you do? Can you lift a 12-metre ladder?
You also need other skills. Can you lead a team? Are you a skillful driver? Can you use technology? There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even after passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to persist in your dream.
28. When did Siene dream of being a firefighter?
A. At the age of five. B. When she was ten years old. C. Thirty years ago.
29. What do the underlined words “persist in” mean in Chinese?
A. 坚持 B. 创造 C. 减少
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Firefighting is always a job for men now.
B. Everyone can finish the training at the WFPA.
C. You need a lot of skills to become a firefighter.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Why Siene had such a dream.
B. How Siene improved her skills.
C. How Siene achieved her dream.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Siene从小梦想成为消防员,历经困难通过训练并最终实现梦想的故事,探讨了成为消防员所需的技能与坚持梦想的重要性。
【28题详解】
根据文章第二段“When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter.”可知,Siene在五岁时就有了成为消防员的梦想。
【29题详解】
根据文章最后一段“Like Siene, you also need to persist in your dream.”结合Siene四十年后实现梦想的经历,可知, persist in意为“坚持”。
【30题详解】
根据文章第四段“You also need other skills...There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days.”可知,成为消防员需要掌握很多技能。
【31题详解】
通读全文可知,文章主要围绕Siene如何克服困难、通过训练最终实现消防员梦想的过程展开。
四、任务型阅读(共4小题;第32小题1分,第33、34小题每小题2分,第35小题3分,共8分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Many families live busy lives. Every week, the children have homework, sports, music lessons and club activities. The parents are busy too. They do the housework, cook meals and drive their children to take part in activities. Some families do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. Our community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break.
After three weeks of planning, we took one night off. We called it the “family night”. It was a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework.
On the “family night”, we decided to turn off our televisions. “We also decided not to answer the phone,” answering machines said. “Please call back tomorrow.”
Many families ordered hamburgers and other food from stores or restaurants so that they wouldn’t need to spend time cooking.
There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance (机会) to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV. On the “family night”, families relaxed and spent the evening together. We hope to have more “family nights”.

【解析】

【35题详解】
本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一,但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容写出自己是否想要拥有这样的“家庭之夜”并说明理由,合理作答即可。
五、语篇填空(共20分)

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了当学生不清楚自己未来理想职业时的几条解决办法:思考爱好、和父母沟通、自问理想生活、为梦想制定计划。
【36题详解】
句意:一些人想成为科学家,一些人想成为工程师。some指代一些学生,想成为工程师,是复数;和前面scientists复数形式保持并列。故填engineers。
【37题详解】
句意:但是,如果你不知道自己长大之后想成为什么该怎么办?连词when表示“当……时候”,引导时间状语从句。when you grow up表示“当你长大”。故填when。
【38题详解】
句意:这会帮助你了解什么样的工作能让你开心。主语是This,单数形式;全文一般现在时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式helps。
【39题详解】
句意:如果你不够了解自己,你可以和父母就这个问题进行一次讨论。固定短语have a discussion意为“进行一次讨论”;discussion是可数名词,辅音音素开头用a。
【40题详解】
句意:他们或许比你更了解你自己。关键词than(比),是比较级标志;well 的比较级是better。
【41题详解】
句意:接下来,问问你自己:“我理想的生活是什么样子?”ask yourself表示“问问你自己”;主语是you,反身代词用yourself。
【42题详解】
句意:你将会确切地知道你不喜欢什么样的工作,以及你应该上什么大学。修饰动词know,需要用副词。形容词exact的副词形式是exactly,意为“确切地”。
【43题详解】
句意:当你拥有自己的梦想之后,就该制定计划了。句型It’s time to do sth.表示“到做某事的时间了”。所以填不定式to make。
【44题详解】
句意:如果你梦想成为一名医生,在大学学习医学必须纳入你的计划。介词短语in your plan意为“在你的计划之中、纳入你的计划”。故填in。
【45题详解】

but
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者作为外国人在重庆吃火锅的经历,介绍了火锅受欢迎的原因及其蕴含的友谊文化价值。
【46题详解】
句意:这家火锅店是这座城市最大且最繁忙的地方之一。one of the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数,largest为形容词最高级,and连接两个并列的形容词,共同修饰 places,因此空格必须填形容词最高级。方框内形容词只有busy和real。 real含义是“真实的”,用来修饰places语义不通;busy含义是“热闹的、繁忙的”,形容餐馆场所语义合理。busy的形容词最高级是busiest。
【47题详解】
句意:我真的无法忘记它。主语I,情态动词否定couldn’t,谓语forget;空格放在情态动词前面,修饰整个谓语部分。修饰动词/情态动词,需要副词。方框里可以变为副词的词:real(真实的),副词形式是really。 其余词:but是连词;as much as短语;restaurant 名词;busy 形容词,均不能作副词修饰couldn’t。故填really。
【48题详解】
句意:如今,中国几乎每个城镇都有一些火锅店。some后接可数名词复数,方框里的名词只有restaurant(餐馆),restaurant应变为复数形式restaurants。
【49题详解】
句意:每个人都可以想吃多少就吃多少,没有人会被落下。eat是谓语;后面是从句they want(他们想要的)。 需要可以衔接,表达“吃和他们想要的一样多”的结构。but(但是):连词,放此处语法完全不通,but用来连接两个完整句子,不能放在动词eat后面;固定短语as much as意为“和……一样多”;eat as much as they want意为“想吃多少就吃多少”,语法、语义全部匹配。故填as much as。
【50题详解】
句意:食物可能很快被忘记,但友谊将永远伴随我们。前句:食物或许很快被遗忘;后句:友谊会永远伴随我们。前后分句之间存在转折关系,选用连词but。

Siene is a firefighter in the USA. It isn’t easy to become a firefighter there. Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are women firefighters.
When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消防预备学院). The WFPA trains women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself.
Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of wood for four minutes? How many exercises can you do? Can you lift a 12-metre ladder?
You also need other skills. Can you lead a team? Are you a skillful driver? Can you use technology? There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even after passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to persist in your dream.
28. When did Siene dream of being a firefighter?
A. At the age of five. B. When she was ten years old. C. Thirty years ago.
29. What do the underlined words “persist in” mean in Chinese?
A. 坚持 B. 创造 C. 减少
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Firefighting is always a job for men now.
B. Everyone can finish the training at the WFPA.
C. You need a lot of skills to become a firefighter.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Why Siene had such a dream.
B. How Siene improved her skills.
C. How Siene achieved her dream.

Many families live busy lives. Every week, the children have homework, sports, music lessons and club activities. The parents are busy too.

Our community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break.
After three weeks of planning, we took one night off. We called it the “family night”. It was a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework.
On the “family night”, we decided to turn off our televisions. “We also decided not to answer the phone,” answering machines said. “Please call back tomorrow.”
Many families ordered hamburgers and other food from stores or restaurants so that they wouldn’t need to spend time cooking.
There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance (机会) to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV. On the “family night”, families relaxed and spent the evening together. We hope to have more “family nights”.
