For Emma, PE class was the most difficult part. She didn’t mind the tiredness but the looks her classmates gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. A group of students often ran behind her, laughing and talking about how Emma ran.
“Just one more year,” Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll graduate and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.”
But everything changed when a girl called Kit joined the class. She had short hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. She introduced herself, “Hi, everyone, I’m Kit. I love sports and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar. I got it when I fell off my bike. I see it as a cool mark now.” Emma listened in surprise. How could the girl be so confident?
During lunchtime, Emma was sitting at her usual table. Kit walked over to join Emma. Emma couldn’t believe such a confident girl would like to sit with her. She worked up the courage to share what was troubling her. “Hug yourself!” said Kit. Hearing that, Emma felt a wave of warmth wash over her. And she felt the weight lift off her shoulder.
It was time for PE class again, but this time Kit was with her. Emma discovered that true confidence comes from within, not from others’ words. In the beautiful sunshine, the two girls walked together — one with a scar on the face and the other with a body that she finally felt she owned.

四、阅读表达(共5小题,共10分)。
Twenty years ago in Costa Rica, three girls found a baby sloth (树懒) on a road. The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup.
After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded (受伤的) sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths.
Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees.
But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs.
51. Why did Judy call the zoo?
_______________________________________
52. Where do the sloths live?
_______________________________________
53. Can the sloths run very fast?
_______________________________________
54. What is the main problem for sloths?

55. What should we learn from the last paragraph?
_______________________________________
【答案】51. Because she didn’t know how to look after the sloth.
52. Sloths live in the forests of Central America and South America.
53. No, they can’t.
54. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller.
55. We should stop cutting down trees and reduce human threats.
【解析】
【导语】本文由Judy救助树懒的经历引出了树懒及其生存现状。
【51题详解】
根据文章第1段“Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo.”可知,Judy想帮忙,但她不知道如何照顾树懒,于是她给动物园打了电话。故填Because she didn’t know how to look after the sloth.
【52题详解】
根据文章第3段“Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America.”可知,树懒生活在中美洲的森林里,我们在南美洲也能看到它们。故填Sloths live in the forests of Central America and South America.
【53题详解】
根据文章第4段“But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals.”可知,树懒是一种行动缓慢且安静的动物。故填No, they can’t.
【54题详解】
根据文章第4段“The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller.”可知,栖息地减少是树懒生存的最大威胁。故填The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller.
【55题详解】
根据文章第4段“human beings cause a lot of problems...sloths are hit by cars or killed by dogs”可知,人类导致了许多问题,树懒的栖息地减少,当树木被砍伐时,树懒会从树上跌落并受伤。有些树懒有时会被汽车撞到或被狗杀死。可推知,我们应该停止砍伐树木并减少人为伤害。故填We should stop cutting down trees and reduce human threats.

句意:约翰的父母想要帮助他,但是他们没有足够的时间。前后两句是转折关系,“想要帮忙”和“没有时间”构成转折,需用连词,故填“but”。
【58题详解】
句意:幸运的是,约翰擅长研究机器人,并且他很了解机器人。固定搭配:be good at doing sth.表示“擅长做某事”。at是介词,后面接动名词。study的动名词是studying,故填“studying”。
【59题详解】
句意:约翰说这个机器人将会看起来像一只熊。本句为一般现在时,主语John是第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单形式,故填“says”。

句意:他认为如今机器人比以前更受欢迎。than是比较级标志词,popular是多音节形容词,比较级为more popular,much可以修饰比较级,故填“more popular”。
【62题详解】
句意:早期机器人只能在工厂做简单的工作。in factories泛指“在工厂里”,用名词复数表一类事物,故填“factories”。
【63题详解】
句意:但是现在一些机器人可以做危险的工作。修饰名词jobs需要用形容词,danger的形容词形式是dangerous,故填“dangerous”。
【64题详解】
句意:很快一些机器人将会帮忙照顾老人。固定短语:take care of意为“照顾”,故填“of”。
【65题详解】

Dear Teng Fei,
How is everything going?
I can’t wait to tell you that I have made a new friend, Dave. We are the same age. He is of medium build. He is funny and always makes me laugh.
He is similar to me in some ways. We both like basketball, but he plays it better than me. He is really kind and often helps me with basketball. So I’m getting better at basketball. Also, we like reading in our free time. However, we are a little different. I always get better grades than he does. Maybe I should give him more help with his schoolwork.

For Emma, PE class was the most difficult part. She didn’t mind the tiredness but the looks her classmates gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. A group of students often ran behind her, laughing and talking about how Emma ran.
“Just one more year,” Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll graduate and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.”
But everything changed when a girl called Kit joined the class. She had short hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. She introduced herself, “Hi, everyone, I’m Kit. I love sports and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar. I got it when I fell off my bike. I see it as a cool mark now.” Emma listened in surprise. How could the girl be so confident?
During lunchtime, Emma was sitting at her usual table. Kit walked over to join Emma. Emma couldn’t believe such a confident girl would like to sit with her. She worked up the courage to share what was troubling her. “Hug yourself!” said Kit. Hearing that, Emma felt a wave of warmth wash over her. And she felt the weight lift off her shoulder.
It was time for PE class again, but this time Kit was with her. Emma discovered that true confidence comes from within, not from others’ words. In the beautiful sunshine, the two girls walked together — one with a scar on the face and the other with a body that she finally felt she owned.

C. You should be brave to ask others for help. D. Just be happy with what you already have.
34. How did Emma feel after talking with Kit?
A. She was relaxed about her PE grades. B. She wasn’t worried about her body shape.

Here is the car of the future! This car is very different from today’s cars. It is quiet and clean. Today’s cars have wheels, but this one does not. It moves like a snail (蜗牛), but is much faster than a snail!
This car will use electricity (电). People can make it full of electricity very quickly. It will also be very easy to drive. In fact, you don’t need to drive it because it will drive itself. You will just need to tell the computer “Go to…” and then the car will take you there. Also, it will reach the place very quickly, much faster than today’s cars. It will also be very safe and comfortable.
A lot of technology has already appeared, but it is at the experimental stage (试验阶段). Fifty years from now, maybe sooner, some new roads will have solar panels and some cars will be able to use them.
However, you may not be able to drive a “snail car”, even if you’re only under 20 today. Maybe this is the car of the year 2100, and your grandchildren may drive it.

Judy wanted to help, but she didn’t know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup.
After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded (受伤的) sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths.
Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees.
But now, with the increase of population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller.
