When she reached the pond, she saw many other women and children waiting patiently. The water was muddy and smelly, but it was the only water source for miles around. As Nya knelt to fill her jar, she noticed some strangers near the pond. They wore hats and carried shovels. A tall man with a kind smile said, “We are here to build a well. Soon, you won’t need to walk so far for water.” Nya’s eyes widened—she couldn’t believe it. Weeks passed, and Nya watched the strangers work hard, even when the sun was at its hottest. One afternoon, she heard loud cheers. Clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug! It sparkled in the sun, nothing like the muddy pond water. Tears of joy filled Nya’s eyes as she ran home as fast as she could. That day, she drank cool, clean water for the first time in her life.

We used to wind (给钟表上发条) it to keep the time right. Harry: You wind it? 18 (根据回答提一个问题) Great-grandma: There’s a small knob (旋钮) here. You turn it gently until you feel a little resistance (阻力). Harry: 19 (根据回答提一个问题) Great-grandma: Almost every day! Harry: What should we do with it? Sell it or keep it? Great-grandma: I’m not sure. The pocket watch is old, but it still works perfectly.

Maybe one day I’ll learn how to wind it too. 【答案】16．It belongs to your great-grandfather. 17．That’s amazing!/How amazing! 18．How do you wind it? 19．How often do you wind it? 20．Although the pocket watch is old, it still works perfectly. 【导语】本文是一段Harry和曾祖母之间关于一只古老怀表的对话，他们讨论了怀表的来历、上发条的方法、使用频率以及是否应该保留它。 【详解】16．根据题目要求，需要用“belong”来翻译句子，表示这块怀表属于曾祖父。belong to意为“属于”，且句子描述的是过去的状态，但此处更侧重于表达一种所属关系，不强调过去的具体时间点，因此用一般现在时即可，主语it为第三人称单数，谓语动词用三单形式。故填It belongs to your great-grandfather. 17．根据题目要求，需要表达惊讶，对于这么旧的东西还能用感到惊奇。可以用“That’s amazing!”或“How amazing!”来表达这种惊讶的情感。故填That’s amazing!/How amazing! 18．根据答语“There’s a small knob (旋钮) here. You turn it gently until you feel a little resistance (阻力).”可知，此处是在询问如何给怀表上发条，即上发条的方法是什么。故填How do you wind it? 19．根据答语“Almost every day!”可知，此处是在询问给怀表上发条的频率，即多久上一次发条。故填How often do you wind it? 20．根据题目要求，需要用含有although引导的让步状语从句对划线句“The pocket watch is old, but it still works perfectly.”保持句意不变。although引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然，尽管”，原句中的but需要去掉，因为although和but不能同时使用在一个句子中。故填Although the pocket watch is old, it still works perfectly. 四、阅读理解 (共17分) A.

I felt lonely and missed my old friends. One Saturday, I noticed an empty lot near our house, full of rubbish. An idea came to me: why not turn it into a garden?”可知，作者因为搬到新城镇感到孤独，想要找点事做，所以决定把空地改造成花园。 27．根据文中第二段李太太的话“I used to love gardening. But after my husband passed away, I lost the heart for it.”可知，李太太在丈夫去世后对园艺失去了兴趣。 28．根据上下文“Slowly, the empty lot changed. Colorful flowers bloomed, and tomatoes grew red under the sun.”可知，花园里的花开放了，因此“bloomed”意为“开花、绽放”，与选项B的“Opened”意思一致。 29．文章开头作者感到孤独（Lonely），决定改造花园时心里有了希望（hopeful）；花园建成后，邻居们纷纷参与，作者和社区建立了联系（connected）；最后作者不再孤独，感到满足（satisfied）。因此情绪变化为Lonely→hopeful→connected→satisfied。 30．根据文中划线句“The garden was no longer just mine or Mrs. Lee’s—it belonged to the whole community.”以及前文“Neighbors began to stop by. Some brought more plants; others just smiled and said hello.”可知，越来越多的邻居参与进来，享受这个花园，它成为了整个社区的共同空间。 31．全文讲述了作者和李太太改造空地为花园的过程，这个简单的项目不仅让环境变美，还让作者不再孤独，也让社区居民彼此熟悉，说明一个小小的项目可以把人们聚在一起，治愈孤独的心。 五、完形填空(共9分) In the past, most people in Shanghai lived in small, 32 houses called “shikumen”.

The walk was tiring—her bare feet hurt from the sharp stones and hot sand, and the sun burned her shoulders. But she never complained. Water was life for her little sister, who was often sick, and her parents worked hard in the fields. She knew her family needed her. One morning, Nya set off with her big plastic jar as usual. When she reached the pond, she saw many other women and children waiting patiently. The water was muddy and smelly, but it was the only water source for miles around. As Nya knelt to fill her jar, she noticed some strangers near the pond. They wore hats and carried shovels. A tall man with a kind smile said, “We are here to build a well. Soon, you won’t need to walk so far for water.” Nya’s eyes widened—she couldn’t believe it. Weeks passed, and Nya watched the strangers work hard, even when the sun was at its hottest. One afternoon, she heard loud cheers. Clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug! It sparkled in the sun, nothing like the muddy pond water. Tears of joy filled Nya’s eyes as she ran home as fast as she could. That day, she drank cool, clean water for the first time in her life. She knew everything would change... 38．How long did Nya have to walk to fetch water every day? 39．What did Nya see when she reached the pond? 40．Nya couldn’t believe there would be a well at first, could she? 41．Why did Nya hear loud cheers? 42．How did Nya feel as she ran home? 43．At the end of the passage Nya knew everything would change. According to the text, what would change?（List at least TWO） 【答案】38．Four hours. 39．She saw many other women and children waiting patiently, and some strangers near the pond. 40．No, she couldn’t. 41．Because clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug. 42．She felt very happy. 43．①Nya won’t need to walk four hours to fetch water. ②Nya can drink clean water instead of muddy and smelly water. ③Nya may have the chance to receive education like girls in modern cities.（任答两点即可） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述南苏丹11岁女孩Nya每日长途跋涉取水，后遇陌生人建井，生活迎来改变的故事。 【详解】38．根据文章第一段“Nya, an 11-year-old girl from South Sudan, had to walk four hours to a distant pond to fetch water for her family...”可知，Nya每天需要走四个小时去远处的水塘为家人取水。故填Four hours. 39．根据文章第二段“When she reached the pond, she saw many other women and children waiting patiently. The water was muddy and smelly, but it was the only water source for miles around...she noticed some strangers near the pond.”可知，当Nya到达水塘时，她看到许多其他妇女和儿童在耐心地等待，还看到水塘边有一些陌生人。故填She saw many other women and children waiting patiently, and some strangers near the pond. 40．根据文章第三段“A tall man with a kind smile said, ‘We are here to build a well. Soon, you won’t need to walk so far for water.’ Nya’s eyes widened—she couldn’t believe it.”可知，一开始Nya不敢相信这里会建一口井。故填No, she couldn’t. 41．根据文章第四段“One afternoon, she heard loud cheers. Clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug!”可知，Nya听到欢呼声是因为清澈干净的水从他们挖的洞里涌了出来。故填Because clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug. 42．根据文章最后一段“Tears of joy filled Nya’s eyes as she ran home as fast as she could.”可知，Nya跑回家时感到非常高兴。故填She felt very happy. 43．根据文章内容可知，Nya以前每天需要走四个小时去远处的水塘取水，水塘的水又脏又臭，而现在有了井，她就不需要走这么远来取水了，也可以喝到干净的水了；另外，根据文章第一段“Nya, an 11-year-old girl from South Sudan, had to walk four hours to a distant pond to fetch water for her family while girls at this age in modern cities like London or Shanghai receive education at school.”可知，和伦敦或上海等现代城市的女孩一样，Nya也可能有机会接受教育。故填①Nya won’t need to walk four hours to fetch water. ②Nya can drink clean water instead of muddy and smelly water. ③Nya may have the chance to receive education like girls in modern cities.（任答两点即可） 七、书面表达(共21分) 44．Write at least 60 words on the topic “Changes in Our Lives”.（请选取日常生活中的一个方面，通过对比过去与现在，谈谈你所经历的变化，写一篇主题为“日常生活的变化”的作文，篇幅不短于60词，标点符号不计入词数。） _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Changes in Our Lives There are many changes in our lives.

An idea came to me: why not turn it into a garden? I told my plan to Mrs. Lee, our next-door neighbor. She was in her seventies and often sat alone on her porch (门廊). Hearing this, her eyes lit up. “I used to love gardening,” she said softly. “But after my husband passed away, I lost the heart for it.” She agreed to help. We started the next weekend. First, we cleared the rubbish. It was hard work, and my arms ached. Mrs. Lee brought tools and showed me how to turn the soil. “Patience, child,” she would say. “Good things take time.” We planted flowers and vegetables. Every afternoon after school, I would water them. Mrs. Lee taught me the names of each plant and how to care for them. Slowly, the empty lot changed. Colorful flowers bloomed, and tomatoes grew red under the sun. Neighbors began to stop by. Some brought more plants; others just smiled and said hello. One day, a little girl from down the street brought a painted rock to add to the garden. “It’s for the fairies (精灵),” she said seriously. We placed it near the roses. The garden was no longer just mine or Mrs. Lee’s—it belonged to the whole community. By summer, the garden was full of life. But more importantly, I wasn’t lonely anymore. I had made a friend with Mrs. Lee and met many neighbors. The garden taught me that beauty can grow in unexpected places, and that sometimes, helping a piece of land can also help heal (治愈) a lonely heart. 26．Why did the writer decide to turn the empty lot into a garden?

A．Lonely → tired → proud → moved B．Lonely → angry → excited → peaceful C．Lonely→thankful→surprised→satisfied D．Lonely→hopeful→connected→satisfied 30．What information can you get from the underlined sentence?

Soon, you won’t need to walk so far for water.” Nya’s eyes widened—she couldn’t believe it. Weeks passed, and Nya watched the strangers work hard, even when the sun was at its hottest. One afternoon, she heard loud cheers. Clear, clean water gushed out of the hole they had dug! It sparkled in the sun, nothing like the muddy pond water.
