You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence（栅栏）that separates our two gardens. You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest. It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees. Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) I drove them away. Yours sincerely, Becky Aldrin 11. What is this? A. A complaint letter. B. An invitation letter. C. A thank-you letter. D. A recommendation letter. 12. Which season was it? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 13. What did the two children do last night? A. They sat on the grass. B. They ran along the fence. C. They destroyed the branches. D. They climbed an apple tree. 14.

Be kind to his neighbour B. Make friends with his children. C. Have a talk with his children. D. Grow apple trees in his garden. 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文是Becky写给Scott的一封信，他们两个是邻居，Becky沿着他们两家之间的篱笆种了一些苹果树，但是Scott先生的两个孩子总是毁坏苹果树，所以她写信告诉Scott先生，希望他能处理一下。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇短文是Becky Aldrin写给Scott先生的一封信，根据信中But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. …Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children可知，她是在向Scott先生抱怨，因为Scott先生家的孩子毁坏了她的苹果树，还偷她的苹果。因此这些一封抱怨信，故选A。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据短文中And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.可知，现在苹果树上已经结苹果了，因此应该是秋季。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文的最后since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees可知，昨天晚上，Scott先生家的两个孩子爬上了Becky Aldrin的一棵苹果树，由此可知应选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。从Becky写的这封信中的一些文字，如I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to …、It is only natural that…、And it is quite legal…、But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of…等等，我们可以看到她写信的语气是很委婉、有礼貌的，但同时她也严肃地提出了这个问题，故应选A，有礼貌但严肃的。B是惊奇的但开心的；C是生气的、粗鲁的；D是累的、不感兴趣的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。这封信中Becky向Scott先生抱怨了他的孩子们的所作所为，她的目的应该是希望Scott先生能和他的孩子好好的谈一谈，不要再去破坏她的苹果树了。故应选C。 点睛：这篇短文是Becky写给Scott的一封信，他们两个是邻居，Becky沿着他们两家之间的篱笆种了一些苹果树，但是Scott先生的两个孩子总是毁坏苹果树，所以她写信告诉Scott先生，希望他能处理一下。文章内容贴近学生的日常生活，比较容易理解。对于这篇短文和题目来说，理解文意是次之，而最主要的是学生们在阅读的时候，能够读出作者的写作意图以及她的写作语气。后面的题目也考查了这一点，例如第4小题，问的就是Becky在写信时的感受，根据文意可知，虽然在信中Becky向Scott先生抱怨了他的孩子的不好的行为，但整篇文章Becky的语气都是很委婉的，如开头的这句话I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to…以及文章中It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.这两句话站在对方的角度想问题，这些语言都让我们能够看出Becky是很礼貌、很认真的讲述问题，故应选A。 B Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, and who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle (战役). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy (嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. 16. Which of the following is NOT the meaning of the word “green”? A. Ripe. B. Young. C. Fresh. D. Growing. 17. From the third paragraph, we can conclude that ______. A. a greenhorn refers to a horn of a young cow or ox B. a word has different meanings in the same century C. the language continually develops with time going by D. a green horn means a soldier who hasn’t had any experience in battle today 18. If a person has a green thumb, he or she probably ______. A. suffers from an illness in the thumb B. has a thumb in green color C. does well in growing plants D. has wonderful magic and energy 19. The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to ______. A. jealousy B. the green-eyed monster C. outer space D. green 20. If Kate has a beautiful dress that Mary likes very much, ______. A. Kate may suffer from the green-eyed monster B. Mary may suffer from the green-eyed monster C. Mary is probably a girl with a green thumb D. Kate is probably called a greenhorn 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. C 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了绿色在自然界中的重要性，以及英语中与绿色相关的几个习语（greenhorn, green thumb, green-eyed monster）的含义及其历史演变。 【16题详解】 根据第二段“Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing…not yet ripe or finished”可知，绿色的含义包含年轻的、新鲜的、生长中的、不成熟的或者未完成的，Ripe“成熟的”含义不匹配。 【17题详解】 根据第三段“In the 15th century...A century or so later...By the eighteenth century...today”可知，greenhorn一词的含义随着世纪更替在不断变化，说明语言是随着时间不断发展的。 【18题详解】 根据第三段“Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb”可知，拥有green thumb的人擅长种植植物。 【19题详解】 根据最后一段“The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling...”可知，It指代前一句的主语The green-eyed monster。 【20题详解】 根据最后一段“It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants”可推知，Mary想要Kate拥有的裙子，会产生这种不愉快的感觉，即suffer from the green-eyed monster。 四、词汇 A)根据所给汉语提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 21. It’s not polite to ________ (推，挤) in before others. 【答案】push 【解析】 【详解】句意：插队挤到别人前面是不礼貌的。It’s not polite to do sth.是固定句型，意为“做某事是不礼貌的”，此处需要填动词原形；“推，挤”对应的英文单词是push，因此填push。 22. You can climb the beautiful mountain in any season __________(除了) winter. 【答案】except 【解析】 【详解】句意：除了冬季，您可以在任何季节攀登美丽的山峰。根据括号中文提示，应用介词except表示“除了”。故填except。 23. All the children are often ________ (警告) not to swim alone in the river. 【答案】warned 【解析】 【详解】句意：所有的孩子都经常被警告不要单独在河里游泳。warn“警告”，主语children与动词warn之间是被动关系，故此处应填过去分词与are构成一般现在时被动语态，故填warned。 24. I feel very ________ (自豪的) to be a member of our school football team. 【答案】proud 【解析】 【详解】句意：成为我们学校足球队的一员，我感到非常自豪。“自豪的”对应的形容词是proud，跟在感官系动词feel后面，在句中作表语。 25. I have a pair of shoes ________ (相似的) to yours. I got them as a birthday present. 【答案】similar 【解析】 【详解】句意：我有一双和你的相似的鞋子，这是我收到的生日礼物。similar to是固定搭配，意为“与……相似”，此处用形容词作后置定语修饰shoes，因此填similar。 B)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空。 26. Gulliver found himself ________ (able) to move. His arms and legs were tied to the ground. 【答案】unable 【解析】 【详解】句意：Gulliver发现自己不能动，他的胳膊和腿都被绑在地上了。根据后句“他的胳膊和腿都被绑在地上”可知，他无法移动，able的反义词是unable，表示“不能的”，故填unable。 27. Come on, everybody! We still need a further ________ (discuss) on this project. 【答案】discussion 【解析】 【详解】句意：来吧，各位！这个项目我们还需要进一步讨论。此前有a修饰，在句中作宾语，用名词单数形式，故填discussion。 28. It’s necessary to teach teenagers to spend their pocket money ________．(wise) 【答案】wisely 【解析】 【详解】句意：有必要教育青少年明智地使用零花钱。根据“spend their pocket money”可知，修饰动词“spend”用副词，wise明智的，形容词，副词形式为wisely。故填wisely。 29. My cousin, Simon, often ________ (keep) in touch with me by email. 【答案】keeps 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的表哥Simon经常通过电子邮件和我保持联系。主语My cousin, Simon是第三人称单数，often表示一般现在时，所以动词keep要用第三人称单数形式keeps，因此填keeps。 30. Diana used to be afraid of flying, but now she is used to _____(travel) by plane. 【答案】traveling##travelling 【解析】 【详解】句意：Diana过去害怕坐飞机，但现在她习惯坐飞机旅行了。根据“but now”可知，此处描述现在习惯了坐飞机旅行，be used to doing sth“习惯做某事”，动名词作宾语，故填traveling/travelling。 五、阅读填空 A) 阅读短文，根据所读内容，在表格中空格里填入一个最恰当的单词 David Ho is one of the most famous scientists in the world because of his research on fighting AIDS.

You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence.

It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, and who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle (战役). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy (嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. 16. Which of the following is NOT the meaning of the word “green”? A. Ripe. B. Young. C. Fresh. D. Growing. 17. From the third paragraph, we can conclude that ______. A. a greenhorn refers to a horn of a young cow or ox B. a word has different meanings in the same century C. the language continually develops with time going by D. a green horn means a soldier who hasn’t had any experience in battle today 18.
