C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者原本很讨厌自己手臂上难看的伤疤，但在公园打篮球时遇到同样有伤疤的男孩Alex，在Alex的启发下，作者改变了对伤疤的看法，将其视为战胜痛苦的标志。 【11题详解】 句意：所以，每次我打篮球时，我都试图遮盖它，即使在炎热的日子里。 根据前文“I used to hate the ugly scar on my arm.”（我过去讨厌我手臂上难看的伤疤）以及后文“I thought others would laugh at me if they saw it.”（我想如果别人看到了会嘲笑我）可知，作者不想让别人看到伤疤，所以试图遮盖它。 【12题详解】 句意：一个阳光明媚的下午，我独自在公园里打篮球。 根据后文“He came over and asked if he could play with me.”（他走过来问是否能和我一起玩）可知，作者当时是一个人在打篮球。 【13题详解】 句意：我迅速拉下袖子转过身来。 根据前文作者一直试图遮盖伤疤，当听到有人喊叫时，第一反应肯定是迅速拉下袖子把伤疤遮住。 【14题详解】 句意：感受到他的友善，我点了点头。 根据前文“asked if he could play with me”以及“Feeling his friendliness”可知，作者感受到了对方的友善，所以点头同意了对方一起玩的请求。 【15题详解】 句意：但我没有相信他。 根据后文“Surely he’s joking, I thought.”（我想，他肯定在开玩笑）可知，作者认为对方在开玩笑，也就是不相信对方说的话。 【16题详解】 句意：它表明我努力活下来，并且我成功了。 根据前文“I had surgery here when I was a baby”（我婴儿时期在这里做过手术）可知，Alex婴儿时期做过心脏手术，伤疤是他努力活下来的证明。 【17题详解】 句意：但后来，他的祖父改变了他的看法。 根据后文祖父说的话“Scars are like your skin’s history book.”（伤疤就像你皮肤的历史书）可知，祖父的话改变了Alex对伤疤的看法。 【18题详解】 句意：多么奇特的比喻啊！ 根据前文祖父把伤疤比作“皮肤的历史书”，这个比喻非常新奇、特别，让作者有了全新的认识，strange在此处引申为“奇特的，特别的”符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：我第一次不再把我的伤疤看作一个难看的印记，而是力量的标志。 根据前文Alex说伤疤表明他努力活下来并取得了成功，这是一种战胜困难的力量的体现，所以作者也把伤疤看作力量的标志。 【20题详解】 句意：Alex的话给了我极大的快乐——我赢得了一场战胜痛苦的伟大“胜利”。 根据前文“I walked home with the sun shining on my scar.”（我走在回家的路上，阳光照在我的伤疤上）以及后文“I won a great ‘victory’ over pain”（我赢得了一场战胜痛苦的伟大“胜利”）可知，作者解开了心结，内心感到极大的释然和快乐。 第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;计30分) 八、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共15小题;每小题2分，计30分) A Just like humans, animals grow up too!

In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. One way is how plants ▲ themselves. For example, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice when worms (虫) eat them. This can even make the worms die. Corn plants can sense worms and then “call” their enemies (敌人) to hunt the worms. Plants can also talk to each other. They use special air. There are small openings in plants. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or blown over by the wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and try to stay safe. Do plants have memory (记忆)? One example is the “memory of winter”. Apple trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to bloom in spring. Other plants like chrysanthemums can sense the length (长度) of darkness and use this to decide when to flower. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as “someone we don’t know” with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain, but they sense touch. 31. Which word is the most suitable for ▲? A. change B. improve C. protect 32. What does Paragraph 3 talk about? A. How plants communicate. B. What plants do when facing danger. C. Why plants communicate with each other. 33. What makes chrysanthemums remember things according to Paragraph 4? A. Light. B. Temperature. C. Rainfall. 34. Which is the right structure of the passage? A. B. C. 35. Who may be the writer of the passage? A. A farmer. B. A biologist. C. A geography teacher. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了植物的三种独特能力：自我保护、相互交流、感知环境形成“记忆”，帮助读者重新认识植物的特别之处。 【31题详解】 根据文章第二段“tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice when worms eat them. This can even make the worms die. Corn plants can sense worms and then “call” their enemies to hunt the worms.”可知，这些都是植物抵御虫害、保护自身的行为，因此空处最适合的词是“protect（保护）”。 【32题详解】 根据文章第三段“Plants can also talk to each other. They use special air. There are small openings in plants. These openings let out air with information.”可知，本段围绕植物的交流方式展开，讲述了植物如何通过释放带信息的气体进行沟通。 【33题详解】 根据文章第四段“Other plants like chrysanthemums can sense the length of darkness and use this to decide when to flower.”可知，菊花通过感知黑暗的长度判断开花时间，黑暗长度与光照直接相关，因此是光让菊花拥有相关“记忆”。 【34题详解】 文章第一段总起，点明植物有自身的独特之处；第二、三、四段分别介绍植物自我保护、交流、“记忆”三种能力，为分述部分；第五段总结全文，引导读者重新看待植物。全文为“总-分-总”结构，与选项B的图示一致。 【35题详解】 文章讲解的是植物的生物特性相关的科普知识，这类内容属于生物学家的研究范畴，因此作者可能是生物学家。 B卷(共50分) 一、短文填空。(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分) 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 appear beauty change disappoint famous important interest kind life reach surprise tool I am a plum blossom tree.

It’s the carnation! This lovely flower didn’t become a“mother’s flower” by accident—there’s a warm story behind it. It all started with a woman named Anna Jarvis from Philadelphia, the US. On 9 May, 1906, Anna’s mother died. She was very sad, but she also thought about how hard her mother worked to raise her and her sisters. Then, she had an idea: Why not create a day to let children show love to their mothers? In 1907, on the first anniversary (周年纪念日) of her mother’s death, Anna held an event. All the mothers at the event had carnations from Anna. She wanted to honor (纪念) her mum and thank every mother for their love for their family. She hoped people could wear white carnations on this special day to remember their mothers. Anna worked hard to make her idea come true. She gave speeches (演讲) and made some posters. She even wrote letters to famous people in the US. Finally, in May 1914, the president (总统) Wilson decided every second Sunday in May would be Mother’s Day. Later, in May 1934, the US made the first Mother’s Day stamp. It showed a kind mother looking happily at some beautiful carnations.

They first appeared in the study rooms of ancient Chinese people as a kind of decoration. As people’s lives improve and interest in traditional (传统的) Chinese culture grows, tea pets win more lovers. Here are some of the most popular ones. Pi Xiu (貔貅) Many people like it. In Chinese culture, Pi Xiu, the ninth son of a dragon, can bring luck to people. It takes money as food without letting it out. Also, people believe Pi Xiu can protect their houses from bad spirits. Three-legged toad (三足蟾蜍) This frog-like animal is not like the real ones. They are magical, although they have only three legs. In Chinese myths (神话), three-legged toads spit (吐出) money from their mouth and help the poor. For this reason, it’s welcome in Chinese culture. Little foot with a spider Imagine a spider on a little fat foot. In Chinese, spider is zhi zhu and foot is zu. When the two words come together, it sounds like zhi zu in Chinese, meaning“satisfied”. The tea pet reminds people to be happy with their lives and thankful for all the good things. Now you see, tea isn’t all about drinking. Everything about it may tell you something about Chinese culture. 26. Why does a store owner keep Pi Xiu as a tea pet in his store according to the passage? A. Because the owner likes dragon culture. B. Because the owner feels satisfied with Pi Xiu around. C. Because the owner thinks it would bring more money. 27. What makes people like three-legged toads? A. The special legs of the animals. B. The goodness behind the animals. C. The better appearance they have than real toads. 28. How do people connect a happy life with the spider on the foot? A. By playing a trick of the Chinese language. B. By giving the spider another meaningful name. C. By connecting the meanings of the foot and the spider. 29. What do all the pets have in common? A. They are all real animals. B. They have good meanings. C. They look scary with good“personalities”. 30. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To sell tea pets. B. To remind people to care for animals. C. To share tea culture in an interesting way. C Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. One way is how plants ▲ themselves. For example, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice when worms (虫) eat them. This can even make the worms die. Corn plants can sense worms and then “call” their enemies (敌人) to hunt the worms. Plants can also talk to each other. They use special air. There are small openings in plants. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or blown over by the wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and try to stay safe. Do plants have memory (记忆)? One example is the “memory of winter”. Apple trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to bloom in spring. Other plants like chrysanthemums can sense the length (长度) of darkness and use this to decide when to flower. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as “someone we don’t know” with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain, but they sense touch. 31. Which word is the most suitable for ▲? A. change B. improve C. protect 32. What does Paragraph 3 talk about? A. How plants communicate. B. What plants do when facing danger. C. Why plants communicate with each other. 33. What makes chrysanthemums remember things according to Paragraph 4? A. Light. B. Temperature. C. Rainfall. 34. Which is the right structure of the passage? A. B. C. 35. Who may be the writer of the passage? A. A farmer. B. A biologist. C. A geography teacher.

It’s the carnation! This lovely flower didn’t become a“mother’s flower” by accident—there’s a warm story behind it. It all started with a woman named Anna Jarvis from Philadelphia, the US. On 9 May, 1906, Anna’s mother died. She was very sad, but she also thought about how hard her mother worked to raise her and her sisters. Then, she had an idea: Why not create a day to let children show love to their mothers? In 1907, on the first anniversary (周年纪念日) of her mother’s death, Anna held an event. All the mothers at the event had carnations from Anna. She wanted to honor (纪念) her mum and thank every mother for their love for their family. She hoped people could wear white carnations on this special day to remember their mothers. Anna worked hard to make her idea come true. She gave speeches (演讲) and made some posters. She even wrote letters to famous people in the US. Finally, in May 1914, the president (总统) Wilson decided every second Sunday in May would be Mother’s Day. Later, in May 1934, the US made the first Mother’s Day stamp. It showed a kind mother looking happily at some beautiful carnations. The stamp travelled far, and more people agreed that carnations symbolize love for mothers. Now, people all over the world give carnations to their mothers on Mother’s Day to say “I love you, Mum.” 56. Why did Anna Jarvis decide to create Mother’s Day? _________________________________ 57.
