D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者参加“我的梦想”演讲比赛，虽未获一等奖，但通过真诚演讲战胜自我，明白了自信最重要的道理。 【6题详解】 句意：起初我对此感到非常兴奋，因为我喜欢说话。 根据“because I loved speaking”可知，因为喜欢所以最初感觉是积极的，应用excited。worried“担心的”，与后文nervous重复且不符合喜欢说话的语境；painful“痛苦的”，为消极情绪；stressed“有压力的“，为消极情绪，均不符。 【7题详解】 句意：她的话让我有点难过，但我仍然决定试一试。 根据上文朋友批评声音小，但作者仍决定参加比赛可知，此处指决定去试一试，应用try。touch“触摸”；cover“覆盖”；argue“争论”，均不符合参加比赛的语境。 【8题详解】 句意：他表现得如此出色，我开始怀疑自己，想要放弃。 根据“wanted to give up”及听到别人完美的演讲可知，作者产生了自我怀疑，应用doubt。enjoy“享受”；weigh“称重”；dress“穿衣”，均不符。 【9题详解】 句意：到了重要的那天，我走向舞台时紧张得双手发抖。 根据“so nervous”可知，紧张时的生理反应通常是手抖，应用shaking。raising“举起”；breaking“打破”；waving“挥舞”。均不符合紧张时的状态。 【10题详解】 句意：就在这时，我看向笔记本，看见了前一晚写下的文字“相信你的故事。 根据“looked at my notebook”可知，看笔记本的结果是看见上面的字，应用saw。taught“教”；hated“讨厌”；tested“测试”，均不符合看的动作结果。 【11题详解】 句意：我谈论了我成为作家的梦想。 根据演讲的主题“My Dream”可知，演讲内容是谈论梦想，应用talked about。cheered on“为……加油”；replied to“回复”；gave in“屈服”，均不符合演讲内容的语境。 【12题详解】 句意：我不再力求完美，只是真诚地讲述我热爱的事物。 根据后文老师评价“it was true”可知，作者演讲很真实真诚，应用truly。blindly“盲目地”；quickly“快速地”；silently“沉默地”，均与真实的特点不符。 【13题详解】 句意：虽然我没有获得一等奖，但我感到自豪，因为那天我学到了宝贵的一课。 前后句意为转折让步关系，没获奖但自豪，应用Although。Since“自从”；If“如果”；Until“直到”，均无法引导让步状语从句。 【14题详解】 句意：别人怎么想、怎么做并不重要，最重要的是相信你自己。 根据“learned a great lesson”可知，这是作者学到的重要道理，应用important。different“不同的”；curious“好奇的”；scary“可怕的”，均不符合道理的重要性。 【15题详解】 句意：现在每当我感到不自信的时候，我就会想起那次演讲。它让我明白，我自己的声音是珍贵的。 全文围绕作者参加演讲比赛展开，此处指代那次经历，应用speech。survey“调查”；plan“计划“；tour“旅行“，均与文章主题不符。 B The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a very important place for the environment (环境) of Asia. However, its environment is getting ____16____ now. Recently, a “fireworks show in the Himalayas” made people worry about its safety. The plateau is getting worse because the natural ____17____ are very hard. It is high up, so there is less oxygen and strong ultraviolet radiation (紫外线).

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了青藏高原环境现状、面临的挑战以及中国为保护高原生态环境所采取的措施和取得的成效。 【16题详解】 句意：然而，现在它的环境正变得更糟。 本句中的“However”表示转折，前一句说青藏高原重要，后一句提到人们担忧，可知环境变差，对应选项中的worse“更差”。 【17题详解】 句意：高原变得更糟，因为自然条件非常艰苦。 根据后文海拔高、氧气少、紫外线强可知是在描述自然条件。对应选项中的conditions“条件”，其他选项无此意。 【18题详解】 句意：因此植物在那里生长得非常缓慢。 根据前文艰苦的自然条件可知植物生长缓慢，对应选项中的slowly“缓慢地”。A、B、D 项不符合艰苦环境下的生长状态。 【19题详解】 句意：如果植物被砍伐，它们几乎不可能长回来。 根据前文生长缓慢及环境艰苦，可知恢复几乎不可能，对应选项中的impossible“不可能”。A、C、D 项不符合语境强调的困难程度。 【20题详解】 句意：虽然它有惊人的野生动物，但它面临挑战。 根据后文描述的气候变化和人类活动都是严重问题可知是面临挑战，对应选项中的challenges“挑战”。B、C、D 项与后面提及的“serious problems”语境不符。 【21题详解】 句意：以上所有都是主要的原因。 前文提到的气候变化等问题是造成环境困难的主要原因，对应选项中的“reasons”。A、B、D 项无法指代前文所述的问题因素。 【22题详解】 句意：若尔盖湿地也尽其所能，帮助净化空气。 湿地功能通常是帮助净化环境，结合横线后的“to clean”可知横线处需要填写的动词help，组成help to do sth.表示“帮助做……”。A、B、C 项动词含义与湿地功能不符。 【23题详解】 句意：保护青藏高原不仅关乎拯救自然，还关乎保护我们的未来。全文主题是环境保护，且后文提到“protecting our future”，对应选项中的Protecting“保护”。 【24题详解】 句意：幸运的是，中国已制定法律并建立了自然保护区来保护高原，这为我们带来了一些良好的成果。 后文提到取得了良好成果，说明这是幸运的好事。对应选项中的Luckily“幸运的是”。A、C、D 项无法体现积极的转折语气。 【25题详解】 句意：科学家也在用特殊方法阻止沙子。 根据后文中的种植树木建立绿色长城可知是为了防沙治沙，即阻止沙化，对应选项中的stop“阻止”。B、C、D 项不符合治沙的逻辑目的。 VII、补全对话 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hey, David!

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要写了A向B讲述上周六看电影时不慎弄丢电影票、误拿别人的票，最后在售票员帮助下拿回自己票并顺利观看感人电影的有趣经历。 【26题详解】 A提到有一个有趣的故事，以及下文A开始讲述具体经历，说明B应该询问“发生了什么”，B项“What happened?”衔接下文。 【27题详解】 A回答“是的，我没事”，说明B是在关心A撞到人后的状况，询问是否安好，E项“Was everything okay?”衔接下文。 【28题详解】 A回答“我迅速跑去售票处说明情况”，描述的是随后采取的行动，说明B询问“那你当时做了什么”，D项“What did you do then?”衔接下文。 【29题详解】 A提到“售票员帮我拿回了票”，说明B应对售票员的帮助作出评价，C项“He was really helpful.”自然承接。 【30题详解】 B问到“你喜欢这部电影吗”，以及下文A回答“很棒“，可知此处应作肯定回答，A项“Yes, of course.”起到肯定并过渡的作用。 第三部分 阅读 (共两节，满分40分) VIII. 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A The journey of growing up often involves (涉及) important lessons about self-acceptance. Growth is not about being perfect, but about having the courage to understand who you are. How do you feel about yourself? Are you happy with yourself? Here are the answers from Zhou Wei and Sally. When I was in primary school, I was not outgoing (外向的) like some of my friends. I always felt shy when the teacher asked me a question in class. What if I didn’t answer it correctly? But as I grew up, I realized that shyness is a problem that most young people face. If we practise more, we can get over it and feel more comfortable with ourselves. —Zhou Wei I’ve got brown eyes and long wavy hair, and I’m tall and strong for my age. I like the way I look and I feel confident. In fact, it’s amazing and it allows me to play my favourite sport—basketball every day. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what a person looks like. What matters most is that we should love ourselves. Real friends don’t care about appearance. —Sally 31. What was Zhou Wei’s main problem when he was in primary school? A. He had few friends. B. He was weak in sports. C. He felt shy in class. D. He was always unhappy. 32. What do we know about Sally? A. She is not so sure of herself. B. Her friends are well built. C.

I always felt shy when the teacher asked me a question in class”，可知Zhou Wei在小学时的主要问题是在课堂上感到害羞。 【32题详解】 由原文Sally的表述部分“it allows me to play my favourite sport—basketball every day”，可知萨莉最喜欢的运动是篮球。 【33题详解】 本文主题是关于青少年成长中的自我接纳，内容为两名学生的自我感悟分享，文章可能出现在学校杂志上。 B Many young people in China worry too much about how they look. If you always look in the mirror and see only your small flaws (缺陷), you are not alone. On social media, a topic called “How unfriendly is the world to plain-looking girls?” got much attention. Many girls shared their stories. One girl called Susie said her friends often cut her out of group photos because they thought she was too fat. Another college student, Tang Yuqi, said “My nose is not high enough, and my eyes are small.” She won’t even open the door without makeup. “I just can’t accept myself if I’m not wearing it,” she said. Why do young people feel anxious about their looks? Spending more time online means seeing more ads about “perfect” looks. The wrong information online makes young people feel they are not good enough. Being anxious for a long time can make people sick (生病的) in both body and mind. Some even have surgery (手术) to try to become “beautiful”. But beauty doesn’t come from makeup or being thin. Being taller or having a perfect look won’t solve the problem. The truth is, everyone is different, and that’s what makes us special. As a popular TV show said, “I am not perfect. I am perfect when I fully understand myself.” 34. Why was Tang Yuqi not so confident about herself? A. Because she thought she was too fat. B. Because she had surgery on her eyes. C. Because she didn’t like wearing makeup. D. Because her nose wasn’t high enough. 35. What does “anxious” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Worried. D. Relaxed. 36. Why did the writer write this text? A. To share ways of not getting sick. B. To show how to use social media. C. To teach girls useful makeup skills. D. To help understand our looks correctly. 【答案】34. D 35. C 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述中国年轻人对外貌的担忧现象，分析了产生焦虑的原因及影响，并倡导正确看待外貌，接纳自我。 【34题详解】 根据文章第2段“Another college student, Tang Yuqi, said ‘My nose is not high enough, and my eyes are small.’”可推知Tang Yuqi不自信是因为觉得自己的鼻子不够高。 【35题详解】 根据文章第1段“Many young people in China worry too much about how they look.”及第3段“Why do young people feel anxious about their looks?”可知anxious与worry意思相近，意为“担心的”。 【36题详解】 根据文章第5段“The truth is, everyone is different, and that’s what makes us special. As a popular TV show said, ‘I am not perfect. I am perfect when I fully understand myself.’”可知作者写作目的是帮助人们正确理解外貌。 C Malaria (疟疾) has been a dangerous disease for a long time. Many people have died of this disease. Luckily, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found a good medicine called qinghaosu. Over fifty years ago, the government asked Tu to be the leader of a national project to find a medicine for malaria. Her team found a special way through reading books about traditional Chinese medicine. After reading over 2,000 old books, they collected more than 600 plants and found about 380 possible treatments. One treatment about 1,600 years ago used a special plant. Tu found it worked well and tried to get the qinghaosu from it. At first, she failed. So she went back to the old books and found a better way, She used a low-temperature (低温) way to get the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972. After tests showed qinghaosu could treat malaria in animals, Tu and two friends tested it on themselves first. The medicine was safe and all patients in the test got better. Later, qinghaosu became the main treatment for malaria around the world, saving many lives. In 2015, Tu won the Nobel Prize. But she didn’t take all the credit (荣誉). She thanked her team and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.” 37. What did the government ask Tu Youyou to do over fifty years ago? A. To create a special plant. B. To collect old traditional books. C. To find medicine for malaria. D. To treat animals that had malaria. 38. What is the right order of the following events? ④Tested the medicine on themselves. ②Read over 2,000 old books. ③Got qinghaosu from a special plant. ④Found about 380 possible treatments. A. ①②③④ B. ②④③① C. ②③①④ D. ③①④② 39. Which saying can be used to describe the discovery of qinghaosu? A. Seeing is believing. B. Think twice before you act. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Many hands make light work. 【答案】37. C 38. B 39. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了中国科学家屠呦呦及其团队历经艰辛，通过研读中医古籍、反复实验，最终发现青蒿素并挽救无数生命的故事，体现了科学家坚持不懈的探索精神及团队合作的重要性。 【37题详解】 根据文章第2段“Over fifty years ago, the government asked Tu to be the leader of a national project to find a medicine for malaria.”可知，五十多年前政府要求屠呦呦领导一个寻找疟疾药物的国家项目，并能得出解析的结论。 【38题详解】 根据文章第2段“After reading over 2,000 old books... found about 380 possible treatments”，第3段“found a better way... succeeded in 1972”以及第4段“Tu and two friends tested it on themselves first.”可知，事件顺序为先读古籍，再发现潜在疗法，接着提取青蒿素成功，最后在自身测试药物，并能得出解析的结论。 【39题详解】 文章多次提到her team，青蒿素是团队共同努力的成果，对应谚语“众人拾柴火焰高”，故选D。 D Have you ever noticed plants? Can they do something as we do? In your eyes, they can’t talk or walk and they can’t think like us, right? But is that true? A TV show called The Green Planet lets us see plants in a new way. It shows us the amazing things that plants can do. Plants compete with each other to live. In the rainforest, different plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is like a “war field” because only 2% of sunlight reaches it. Some plants spread (伸展) their big leaves to get light. But a vine (藤本植物) may catch them. Then a fast-growing tree passes them all. This tree has special leaves, so the vine can’t hold on. ▲ Euphrates poplar trees (胡杨) connect their roots. If one tree finds water, it shares with others. Studies show plants use fungus (真菌) to talk to each other, like Wi-Fi. If a tomato plant gets sick, it can tell plants around it. The TV show makes us surprised at plants and helps us understand they are important. “Plants are the needs of all life. We need them for every meal we eat and every breath we take.” said the host of the show. We should care for wild plants as much as our houseplants. Here are some useful ways. 40. How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By making comparisons. 41. Why is the forest floor called a “war field”? A. Because animals fight there often. B. Because the weather is too hot there. C. Because people take away their land. D. Because plants compete strongly for sunlight. 42. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A. Different plants get the same light. B. Plants also help each other. C. Plants can take a breath like people do. D. Plants are important for people. 43. What is the writer going to talk about next? A. Why we should look after plants. B. What amazing things plants can do. C. What we can do to care for plants. D. How people can find the wild plants. 【答案】40. C 41. D 42. B 43. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了电视节目《The Green Planet》所展示的植物秘密生活，包括植物为生存相互竞争、彼此帮助与交流的方式，并强调了植物的重要性，呼吁人们保护野生植物。 【40题详解】 根据文章第一段“Have you ever noticed plants? Can they do something as we do?”可知，作者通过连续提出问题的方式引出关于植物的话题，激发读者兴趣。 【41题详解】 根据文章第二段“The forest floor is like a ‘war field’ because only 2% of sunlight reaches it. ...different plants race for sunlight.”可推知，因为阳光稀少，植物之间为了争夺阳光而激烈竞争，所以被称为“战场”。 【42题详解】 第三段主要讲述了胡杨通过根系分享水分以及植物通过真菌交流互助的内容，与第二段“竞争”形成对比，因此空缺处应填入概括本段核心内容的句子“Plants also help each other.”。 【43题详解】 根据文章最后一句“We should care for wild plants as much as our houseplants. Here are some useful ways.”可推知，文章结尾提到了“这里有一些有用的方法”，下文将要具体介绍照顾植物的有用方法。 E If you are reading this now, it is because these words are printed on this page. Could this happen 2,000 years ago? Well, you could have read some words, but the words wouldn’t be printed by a machine on paper. Modern printing began in China between 200 BC and 200 AD. A block of wood was carved (刻) so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink (墨) was put on the wood and then cloth was put on top of the wood. Later, in 105 AD, paper-making was invented in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. Much later, a new method (方法) called “movable type” was invented. It used small blocks made of metal (金属) with characters or letters. The blocks could be moved around easily to make a whole page of printed text. Besides. it was much faster than carving a block of wood. Methods to do this were invented in China in 1040. Later this method started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and printing became popular everywhere. Now, we send emails, texts and photos to each other. We can download books and read on our phones.

But to his surprise, the butterfly was unable to fly. As we all know, if the butterfly doesn’t struggle (挣扎) to get out of the chrysalis, it can’t fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and prepare (做准备) the ability to “fly”. When people are young, meeting and taking on challenges will make them strong and ready to face difficulties in life. For successful people, the more challenges they have had, the more successful they are. One famous man, Henry, who now has many big factories, used to sell pies on the street when he was young. Another successful man is Eric. His father died when he was only 16. But he worked hard in the day and studied hard at night. In a way, his father’s death made him grow up fast. At the age of 30, he set up a university. So you see he took on the challenges and got over them bravely instead of giving up. Today, not only he himself, but also his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives. From the stories above, we learn that __________. 48. What did the man do when he saw the butterfly try to get out of its chrysalis? (不超过5个词) ______________________________________________________________ 49. What did Henry do before he was successful? (不超过10个词) ______________________________________________________________ 50. What would the writer say at the end of the text? (不超过15个词) ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】48. He cut the chrysalis. 49. He sold pies on the street. 50. Success comes from challenges./No pain, no gain./No pains, no gains./Don’t be afraid of difficulties. just face them and get over them bravely./We should take on challenges bravely./Sometimes, difficulties make people grow up fast and brave. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文兼议论文。文章通过讲述一个人帮助蝴蝶破蛹反而害了它，以及亨利和埃里克克服挑战获得成功的故事，阐述了生活中的挑战能激发人的潜能，使人成长，鼓励年轻人勇敢面对挑战。 【48题详解】 根据文章第1段“Once a man saw a butterfly try to get out of its chrysalis (蛹), so he cut the chrysalis”可推知那个人剪开了蛹。 【49题详解】 根据文章第2段“One famous man, Henry, who now has many big factories, used to sell pies on the street when he was young.”可推知亨利成功前在街上卖派。 【50题详解】 根据文章第1段“the challenges of life bring out the best in young people”及第2段“took on the challenges and got over them bravely”可推知作者想总结挑战使人强大且应勇敢面对。 第四部分 写 (共三大题，满分30分) IX. 单词拼写 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 51. The robot is w________ (广泛地) used in many factories. 【答案】widely##idely 【解析】 【详解】句意：机器人在许多工厂里被广泛地使用。句中“used”是动词use的过去分词，前面需要副词修饰，结合“in many factories”及首字母为w、中文提示“广泛地”可知，应是说机器人被广泛应用，‌widely‌“广泛地、普遍地”，符合语境。 52. Your b________ (大脑) keeps working even when you are asleep. 【答案】brain##rain 【解析】 【详解】句意：即使当你睡着的时候，你的大脑依然在工作。your后面接名词；谓语keeps是第三人称单数，主语用单数，根据首字母和汉语提示，brain“大脑”。 53.

It was Lisa who f________ (解决) the problem, so we should thank her. 【答案】fixed##ixed 【解析】 【详解】句意：是莉萨解决了这个问题，所以我们应该感谢她。从句中缺少谓语，因此应填入谓语动词；主句用了was，说明“解决问题”这件事已经发生，所以从句谓语也要用过去式；根据首字母及汉语提示，fix the problem是固定搭配，翻译为“解决问题、处理故障”，此处fix需用过去式。故填fixed。 55. It is w________ (明智的) to cut down the time of children using screens. 【答案】wise##ise 【解析】 【详解】句意：减少孩子们使用电子屏幕的时间是明智的做法。句中使用了固定句型“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”，表示“做某事是……的”，空格处需要填入一个形容词作表语，结合括号内的汉语提示“明智的”以及首字母w可知，应填wise“明智的”，完全符合语境和语法要求。 X. 语法填空 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，用括号内单词的正确形式填空。 Do you want to work as a voice actor?

Growth is not about being perfect, but about having the courage to understand who you are. How do you feel about yourself? Are you happy with yourself? Here are the answers from Zhou Wei and Sally. When I was in primary school, I was not outgoing (外向的) like some of my friends. I always felt shy when the teacher asked me a question in class. What if I didn’t answer it correctly? But as I grew up, I realized that shyness is a problem that most young people face. If we practise more, we can get over it and feel more comfortable with ourselves. —Zhou Wei I’ve got brown eyes and long wavy hair, and I’m tall and strong for my age. I like the way I look and I feel confident. In fact, it’s amazing and it allows me to play my favourite sport—basketball every day. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what a person looks like. What matters most is that we should love ourselves. Real friends don’t care about appearance. —Sally 31. What was Zhou Wei’s main problem when he was in primary school? A. He had few friends. B. He was weak in sports. C. He felt shy in class. D. He was always unhappy. 32. What do we know about Sally? A. She is not so sure of herself. B. Her friends are well built. C. Her friends care about her look. D. She likes basketball best. 33. Where can we probably read the text? A. In a school magazine. B. From a story book. C. On a notice board. D. In a travel guide. B Many young people in China worry too much about how they look. If you always look in the mirror and see only your small flaws (缺陷), you are not alone. On social media, a topic called “How unfriendly is the world to plain-looking girls?” got much attention. Many girls shared their stories. One girl called Susie said her friends often cut her out of group photos because they thought she was too fat. Another college student, Tang Yuqi, said “My nose is not high enough, and my eyes are small.” She won’t even open the door without makeup. “I just can’t accept myself if I’m not wearing it,” she said. Why do young people feel anxious about their looks? Spending more time online means seeing more ads about “perfect” looks. The wrong information online makes young people feel they are not good enough. Being anxious for a long time can make people sick (生病的) in both body and mind. Some even have surgery (手术) to try to become “beautiful”. But beauty doesn’t come from makeup or being thin. Being taller or having a perfect look won’t solve the problem. The truth is, everyone is different, and that’s what makes us special. As a popular TV show said, “I am not perfect. I am perfect when I fully understand myself.” 34. Why was Tang Yuqi not so confident about herself? A. Because she thought she was too fat. B. Because she had surgery on her eyes. C. Because she didn’t like wearing makeup. D. Because her nose wasn’t high enough. 35. What does “anxious” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Worried. D. Relaxed. 36. Why did the writer write this text? A. To share ways of not getting sick. B. To show how to use social media. C. To teach girls useful makeup skills. D. To help understand our looks correctly. C Malaria (疟疾) has been a dangerous disease for a long time. Many people have died of this disease. Luckily, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found a good medicine called qinghaosu. Over fifty years ago, the government asked Tu to be the leader of a national project to find a medicine for malaria. Her team found a special way through reading books about traditional Chinese medicine. After reading over 2,000 old books, they collected more than 600 plants and found about 380 possible treatments. One treatment about 1,600 years ago used a special plant. Tu found it worked well and tried to get the qinghaosu from it. At first, she failed. So she went back to the old books and found a better way, She used a low-temperature (低温) way to get the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972. After tests showed qinghaosu could treat malaria in animals, Tu and two friends tested it on themselves first. The medicine was safe and all patients in the test got better. Later, qinghaosu became the main treatment for malaria around the world, saving many lives. In 2015, Tu won the Nobel Prize. But she didn’t take all the credit (荣誉). She thanked her team and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.” 37. What did the government ask Tu Youyou to do over fifty years ago? A. To create a special plant. B. To collect old traditional books. C. To find medicine for malaria. D. To treat animals that had malaria. 38. What is the right order of the following events? ④Tested the medicine on themselves. ②Read over 2,000 old books. ③Got qinghaosu from a special plant. ④Found about 380 possible treatments. A. ①②③④ B. ②④③① C. ②③①④ D. ③①④② 39. Which saying can be used to describe the discovery of qinghaosu? A. Seeing is believing. B. Think twice before you act. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Many hands make light work. D Have you ever noticed plants? Can they do something as we do? In your eyes, they can’t talk or walk and they can’t think like us, right? But is that true? A TV show called The Green Planet lets us see plants in a new way. It shows us the amazing things that plants can do. Plants compete with each other to live. In the rainforest, different plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is like a “war field” because only 2% of sunlight reaches it. Some plants spread (伸展) their big leaves to get light. But a vine (藤本植物) may catch them. Then a fast-growing tree passes them all. This tree has special leaves, so the vine can’t hold on. ▲ Euphrates poplar trees (胡杨) connect their roots. If one tree finds water, it shares with others. Studies show plants use fungus (真菌) to talk to each other, like Wi-Fi. If a tomato plant gets sick, it can tell plants around it. The TV show makes us surprised at plants and helps us understand they are important. “Plants are the needs of all life. We need them for every meal we eat and every breath we take.” said the host of the show. We should care for wild plants as much as our houseplants. Here are some useful ways. 40. How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By making comparisons. 41. Why is the forest floor called a “war field”? A. Because animals fight there often. B. Because the weather is too hot there. C. Because people take away their land. D. Because plants compete strongly for sunlight. 42. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A. Different plants get the same light. B. Plants also help each other. C. Plants can take a breath like people do. D. Plants are important for people. 43. What is the writer going to talk about next? A. Why we should look after plants. B. What amazing things plants can do. C. What we can do to care for plants. D. How people can find the wild plants. E If you are reading this now, it is because these words are printed on this page. Could this happen 2,000 years ago? Well, you could have read some words, but the words wouldn’t be printed by a machine on paper. Modern printing began in China between 200 BC and 200 AD. A block of wood was carved (刻) so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink (墨) was put on the wood and then cloth was put on top of the wood. Later, in 105 AD, paper-making was invented in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. Much later, a new method (方法) called “movable type” was invented. It used small blocks made of metal (金属) with characters or letters. The blocks could be moved around easily to make a whole page of printed text. Besides. it was much faster than carving a block of wood. Methods to do this were invented in China in 1040. Later this method started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and printing became popular everywhere. Now, we send emails, texts and photos to each other. We can download books and read on our phones. Ideas and knowledge are travelling faster than at any other time in history and the screen is taking the place of the page for many people. 44. When did modern printing begin in China? A. In 105AD. B. In 1040. C. In 1439. D. Between 200 BC and 200 AD. 45. Which of the following is the good point of “movable type”? A. It didn’t need ink for printing any more. B. People could print more pages at a time. C. It was much faster than carving a wood block. D. The blocks could be used to print pictures. 46. What can we learn about printing from the text? A. China was first to invent printing methods. B. Printing is not as important as before today. C. Screens are starting to take the place of paper. D.
