They had a fantastic time in the first two days. Today, they spent the whole day at Shanghai Disneyland. They got to the park by subway. First, they tried something exciting-TRON Lightcycle Power Run, a high-speed roller coaster in the dark. It moved so fast that everyone was screaming and laughing through the ride. Next, they hurried to a restaurant to have a quick meal. On the way, they met some Disney cartoon characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Elsa from Frozen. They were so cute and even took photos with Kitty. Everyone got excited when the Mickey’s Storybook Express parade began later in the afternoon. It was the best part of the day. Kitty ran after the floats and couldn’t stop taking photos. After the parade, they watched a 4-D film. It was like real magic. They could even feel the splash of water and the wind. Then they went shopping. Kitty bought a couple of key rings for her friends. She was sure that everyone would love them. At the end of the day, they watched the fireworks show in front of the Enchanted Storybook Castle. The castle looked bright and beautiful under the fireworks, and the music made the moment even more special. It was truly a day to remember. 14. When did Kitty’s family go to Shanghai Disneyland? A.

But of course, there are also great friendships in books—and some of them are very famous. In the Harry Potter books, Harry’s two great friends are Hermione and Ron. Harry depends on them a lot, and they often help him in difficult situations. And though they don’t always agree on everything, they’re friends for life. Back in the nineteenth century, an American writer called Mark Twain created two characters called Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. They lived in the southern USA near the Mississippi River. Together, they had problems with their families and with slavery (奴隶制). Through their adventures, they formed a close friendship that helped them overcome challenges. Also in the nineteenth century, in Britain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created one of the most famous detectives ever—Sherlock Holmes. His friend, Dr Watson, became very famous too—and Watson always tried to help Holmes, supporting him through all of his hard cases. In both real life and books, we can see how important friendship is. Friends help each other when times are uneasy and share happy moments. Whether in stories or in real life, good friends are something we should always value. 18. Tom Sawyer’s friend is _________. A. Huckleberry Finn B. Ron C. Dr Watson D. Hermione 19. Sherlock Holmes’ friend is _________. A. Huckleberry Finn B. Ron C. Dr Watson D. Hermione 20. Which idea about friendship is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. True friends never tell lies to each other. B. Good friends share both sadness and happiness. C. Good friends depend on each other in difficulties. D. True friends support each other when facing challenges. 21. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The challenges of friendship in real life. B. How friends help each other in hard times. C. The differences between friendship in life and in books. D. The importance of having good friends in life and in books. D ①The water hyacinth (水葫芦) grows in tropical (热带的) countries. It has beautiful purple-blue flowers, but everybody hates it. ②Millions and millions of these plants grow in rivers and lakes. Sometimes the plants become so thick that people can walk on them. People cannot travel in boats on the water, and they cannot fish in it. The plants stop the water from moving. Then the water carries diseases. Farmers cannot use the water on their land. ③Now scientists think that water hyacinths can be useful. The plants are really a free crop. No one has to take care of them. They just grow and grow and grow. What can farmers use them for? ④Some fish like to eat them. Farmers can grow these fish in the lakes and rivers. Workers can collect and cut the plants with machines. Then they can also make fertilizer to make their crops grow better. They can also make feed (饲料) for their farm animals. ⑤Maybe it will be possible to make methane gas (沼气) for energy. Methane gas can be made from plants. We burn gas from petroleum (石油) for energy. Then poor tropical countries will not have to buy so much expensive petroleum. Maybe in the future people will love the water hyacinth instead of hating it. 22. Where may the water hyacinth grow? A. Germany. B. Russia. C. Thailand. D. Canada. 23. The underlined word “fertilizer” in paragraph 4 means “________” in Chinese. A. 资源 B. 财富 C. 垃圾 D. 肥料 24. Which of the following saying best matches the writer’s idea? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. You can’t judge a book by its cover. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 25. What’s the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②③/④⑤ 第二节（41～45题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People often say “There’s no place better than home.” Homes can look very different around the world. Some live in tall apartments in cities, while others live in wooden houses in villages. ____26____ For many people, home is more than just a building with rooms. ____27____ Think about your home-the smell of your favourite food cooking, the sound of family laughter, or even your comfortable bed after a long day. ____28____ In a nice home, each person has their own jobs.

The word “hua” in Chinese meant “flower” at first. With rich kinds of flowers, China is called “Mother of the World’s Gardens” by British plant expert Wilson. Flowers are not only beautiful, but also useful. Chinese people have cooked with flowers for a long time. Records show Shang Dynasty cooks used flowers in meals. Poet Qu Yuan ate chrysanthemums (菊花) during the Warring States Period. In the Song Dynasty, people enjoyed plum flowers (梅花) with rice porridge. Today, many places keep this tradition. The Dai people cook banana flowers, while Shaanxi locals love fried locust flowers (刺槐花). Eating flowers isn’t just about taste-it connects people with nature’s seasons. Flowers also carried deep feelings. Ancient Chinese grew flowers in gardens and pots to lift their moods. During the Tang Dynasty, the flower markets were lively. Poets wrote about flowers to express emotions. Tao Yuanming dreamed of a “Peach Blossom Spring”, and Zhou Dunyi praised the lotus. Flowers even got poetic names-peony meant “Jiang Li” (soon to part), lotus meant “pure friend”. People also used flowers wisely in the past. They marked months by flower seasons, made medicines from flowers, and used them in beautiful products. From food to art, flowers colour every part of Chinese culture beautifully. 51.
