It’s a very old invention. The first umbrellas were used over 4, 000 years ago. They were first used in China and Egypt. But these early umbrellas were not for rain. They were for the sun! Important people used them to stay cool in the hot sun. The word “umbrella” actually comes from a Latin word that means “shadow” or “shade”. The umbrella came to Europe in the 16th century. At first, people thought it was strange to use an umbrella. But by the 18th century, it became popular in England for rain protection. Today, umbrellas are used all over the world. They come in many colors and sizes, from big beach umbrellas to small ones that fit in your bag. The umbrella is a simple but great invention that makes our lives easier on rainy or sunny days. 21. Where were the first umbrellas used? A. In America and England. B. In China and Egypt. C. In Japan and Korea. 22. What were the first umbrellas used for? A. For the rain. B. For the snow. C. For the sun. 23. Who first used umbrellas for rain? A. The Egyptians. B. The English. C. The Chinese. 24. When did the umbrella become popular in England? A. In the 16th century. B. In the 18th century. C. In the 20th century. 25. What is the main idea of this passage? A. How to make an umbrella. B. Why umbrellas are expensive. C. The history and development of umbrellas. B The New Neighbors Last month, a new family moved into the house next door. Their name is the Chen family. They are from China. At first, I was a little shy and didn’t know how to talk to them. My mum said, “Why don’t you bake some cookies and take them over?” So I did. I made a plate of chocolate chip cookies. When I rang the doorbell, a girl about my age opened the door. She looked surprised but smiled. I said, “Hi, I’m Sarah from next door. Welcome to the neighbourhood!” She said, “Thank you! I’m Li Mei. Please come in.” We talked for a while. Her English is very good, though she sometimes searches for the right word. I found out that she loves painting and playing the piano, just like me! We became friends quickly. Now we often do homework together after school. Sometimes, she teaches me a few Chinese words, and I help her with her English pronunciation. It’s really fun to have a friend from a different culture. I’m glad my mum gave me that great idea. 26. How did Sarah first feel about the new neighbors? A. Excited. B. Shy. C. Angry. 27.

He gets top scores in almost every subject and is the monitor of his class. However, behind this perfect image, Li Ming is under great pressure. “Everyone expects me to be the best,” he says. “My teachers ask me to help other students, my parents hope I can get into the best high school, and my classmates think I have all the answers. Sometimes, I feel very tired and just want to be an ordinary student.” Li Ming’s situation is not special. A recent survey shows that many so-called “good students” in middle schools face similar problems. They feel they must always meet the high expectations of others and are afraid of failure. This pressure can even affect their sleep and health. Education experts suggest that parents and teachers should care more about these students’ mental health. “It’s important to let children know that it’s okay not to be perfect,” says Dr. Wang. “We should encourage them to develop their own interests and learn how to relax. Their happiness and health are more important than just grades.” 31. What is Li Ming’s main problem? A. He doesn’t get along with his classmates. B. He is under a lot of pressure for being a “good student”. C. His parents are too strict with his grades. 32. Who does NOT have high expectations for Li Ming according to the passage? A. His teachers. B. His parents. C. Education experts. 33. The word “ordinary” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. normal B. excellent C. lazy 34. What does the survey show? A. Many “good students” have health problems. B. Li Ming is the only student with such pressure. C. Many good students share similar problems with Li Ming. 35. What is Dr. Wang’s advice? A. Good students should help others more. B. Schools should give students less homework. C. Happiness and health are more important than grades. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 The Key Qualities of an Inventor What does it take to become a great inventor?

When you listen well, people feel that you care about them. Here are some tips on how to be a good listener. First, stop what you are doing and give the speaker your full attention. That means putting down your phone, turning off the TV, and looking at them. This shows that you are focused on them. Second, use body language to show you are listening. Nod your head sometimes to show you understand. Keep your arms open, not crossed, to show you are welcoming their words. Third, don’t interrupt (打断) . Let the person finish what they want to say before you speak. It’s rude to cut them off with your own stories or ideas. Finally, ask questions to learn more. You can say, “What happened next?” or “How did that make you feel?” This shows you are interested and helps you understand them better. Being a good listener takes practice, but it’s worth it. It helps you build stronger and happier friendships. 任务一：根据短文内容，补全下列信息。(每空不超过3个词) Tips on How to Be a Good Listener 41. Stop what you are doing | Give the speaker your ________. 42.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述男孩 Leo 因胎记自卑，奶奶告诉他这是天使的吻，使他转变心态，学会接纳自己，最终变得自信的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：但随着长大，他开始对此感到害羞。 根据下文“Some children in his school would sometimes point at it and give him nickname. Leo became very self-conscious.”，可知随着长大，他开始对胎记感到害羞，shy“害羞的”符合语境，happy“开心的”、excited“兴奋的”不符合。 【12题详解】 句意：她注意到Leo不像以前那样快乐了。 根据下文奶奶的话“You look so quiet these days.”，可知奶奶注意到Leo不像之前那样开朗，cheerful“开朗的，快乐的”符合语境，serious“严肃的”、careful“仔细的”不符合。 【13题详解】 句意：Leo低下头轻声说。 根据前文“Leo looked down”以及他沮丧的提问“Grandma, I don't like my birthmark. Why am I different from others?”，可知他是轻声地说话，quietly“轻声地，安静地”符合语境，loudly“大声地”、proudly“骄傲地”不符合。 【14题详解】 句意：这不是一个错误的标记。 根据奶奶的描述“This is a special kiss from an angel”，可知奶奶说这不是难看的、错误的标记，mistake“错误”符合语境，special“特别的”、beautiful“美丽的”不符合。 【15题详解】 句意：Leo抬起头，眼睛因惊讶而睁大。 根据Leo的反应“A kiss from an angel?”可知，他听到奶奶的话后很惊讶，wide with surprise“眼睛因惊讶而睁大”符合语境，fear“害怕”、sadness“难过”不符合。 【16题详解】 句意：这是一个提醒物，提醒你自己是独一无二的，并且被爱着。 后文提到这是提醒你独特且被爱着的标记，所以这是一个提醒物，reminder“提醒物”符合语境，punishment“惩罚”、game“游戏”不符合文意。 【17题详解】 句意：他从未那样想过。 此处表达Leo从未这样想过胎记的含义，think of是固定搭配，意为“想象、认为”，thought符合语境，heard“听说”、dreamed“梦想”不符合。 【18题详解】 句意：相反他自信地笑了并说。 根据前文Leo不再难过生气，以及他说“This is where an angel kissed me. It makes me special”，可知他自信地笑了，confidently“自信地”符合语境，nervously“紧张地”、coldly“冷漠地”不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：男孩对Leo的回答感到惊讶。 Leo对男孩说出的话是一种回应，answer“回答，回应”符合语境，question“问题”、kindness“善良”不符合，男孩对Leo的回应感到惊讶。 【20题详解】 句意：他学会接纳自己。 根据前文Leo不再隐藏胎记，以及他的态度转变，可知他学会了接纳自己，accept“接纳”符合语境，hide“隐藏”、change“改变”不符合。 第三部分 阅读理解 (共三节，满分55分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The Invention of the Umbrella Do you know who invented the umbrella?

He gets top scores in almost every subject and is the monitor of his class. However, behind this perfect image, Li Ming is under great pressure. “Everyone expects me to be the best,” he says. “My teachers ask me to help other students, my parents hope I can get into the best high school, and my classmates think I have all the answers. Sometimes, I feel very tired and just want to be an ordinary student.” Li Ming’s situation is not special. A recent survey shows that many so-called “good students” in middle schools face similar problems. They feel they must always meet the high expectations of others and are afraid of failure. This pressure can even affect their sleep and health. Education experts suggest that parents and teachers should care more about these students’ mental health. “It’s important to let children know that it’s okay not to be perfect,” says Dr. Wang. “We should encourage them to develop their own interests and learn how to relax. Their happiness and health are more important than just grades.” 31. What is Li Ming’s main problem? A. He doesn’t get along with his classmates. B. He is under a lot of pressure for being a “good student”. C. His parents are too strict with his grades. 32. Who does NOT have high expectations for Li Ming according to the passage? A. His teachers. B. His parents. C. Education experts. 33. The word “ordinary” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. normal B. excellent C. lazy 34. What does the survey show? A. Many “good students” have health problems. B. Li Ming is the only student with such pressure. C. Many good students share similar problems with Li Ming. 35. What is Dr. Wang’s advice? A. Good students should help others more. B. Schools should give students less homework. C. Happiness and health are more important than grades. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 34. C 35.
