When Yang Fan was in Grade 7, his teacher gave each student a young tree to plant on Tree-planting Day. Yang Fan planted his tree in the garden and watered it every morning before school.
A month later, the other trees were green and lively, but his tree was still short and thin, with only a few small leaves. "It's no use," Yang Fan said to his father one evening. "I water it every day, but it never grows. I want to give up."
His father smiled and asked him to dig a little soil (土) near the tree. "Look," he said, "the roots (根) under the ground are much longer and stronger than the leaves you can see. While you are sleeping, the tree is working hard. It is not wasting time."
Yang Fan didn't say anything, but from that day on he kept watering his tree and stopped complaining (抱怨). Two years later, when he was in Grade 9, his tree was the tallest in the garden. In spring it was covered with pink flowers, and students from other classes came to take photos of it.
"Now I understand," Yang Fan said. "Growth is not always easy to see. But if you keep going, one day you will see the result — and it will be more beautiful than you can imagine."

Today, many teenagers are worried about their schoolwork, their friends or their parents. Some of them keep these worries to themselves, and that can make things worse. So if you are one of them, what should you do?
First, talk to someone you trust (信任). It may be your parents, your teacher or a close friend. When you say your worries out loud, they often become smaller. You may also get useful advice from the person you are talking to.
Second, write down how you feel. Writing down your feelings helps you understand yourself better. It can also help you find out what is really making you unhappy, and then you can deal with it in a right way.
Third, do something you enjoy. Music, sports, reading or cooking — anything that makes you feel relaxed is helpful. When you are doing something you like, you may forget your problems for a while and get new energy.
Finally, ask for help when the problem is too big for you. It is not a shame (羞耻) to ask for help. Students who are good at dealing with problems are not those who never have problems, but those who know how to ask for help.
Being a teenager is not always easy. However, remembering these ways can help you get through the hard times and enjoy the beauty of life.

【详解】词义猜测题。句中提到这个人"可能是你的父母、老师或好朋友",说明是"你信任的人",trust 意为"信任,相信",与 believe 意思最接近。故选 B。

40.What is the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2 ...)

C. ①②③/④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤/⑥
【答案】D
【详解】篇章结构题。第一段提出"许多青少年被烦恼困扰,该怎么办"这一问题;第二至五段用 First、Second、Third、Finally 依次给出四种方法;第六段总结全文。因此结构为"总—分—总",即 ①/②③④⑤/⑥,故选 D。

Mrs Green lived alone in a small flat next to ours. Every Saturday morning my mother would knock at her door with a plate of hot dumplings. I never understood why she spent so much time on an old neighbour, and I often complained to her about it.
One rainy Saturday my mother was ill, so she asked me to take the dumplings to Mrs Green. I stood at the door and knocked. Mrs Green opened it slowly. Her flat was small, but it was full of the smell of flowers. There were dried flowers (干花) on the wall and fresh ones in a vase (花瓶).
"Come in, come in," she said. "How kind of you." I put the plate on the table. Then I noticed a photo on the wall — a young woman and a little girl, both smiling happily. "That's my daughter," Mrs Green said. "She lives in Canada now. She sends me flowers every year on my birthday. I dry them and keep them here."
When I left, she gave me a small bunch (束) of flowers. "Take them home. They will make your room beautiful." I felt my face turn red. I had come to help her, but she was the one who gave me something.
That evening I told my mother about my visit. She smiled and said, "Kindness is like that. It always comes back." From then on, I visited Mrs Green with my mother every Saturday. Beside her flowers I learned an important lesson: beauty is not always about big things. Sometimes it is a plate of dumplings or a bunch of flowers.
42.Why did the writer complain to his mother at first?
A. Because his mother spent much time on Mrs Green.
B. Because the dumplings were too hot.
C. Because his mother was often ill.

【详解】推理判断题。上文说"我"是来帮她的,她却反过来送花给"我",这让"我"感到羞愧(此前还抱怨过)又很感动,所以"脸红了"。故选 D。
【考点】Unit 1 品质词汇 kindness;Unit 4 主题"给他人带来快乐";推理判断
44.Which is the correct order of the events?
① The writer took dumplings to Mrs Green. ② The writer saw a photo of Mrs Green's family.
③ The writer's mother became ill. ④ The writer began to visit Mrs Green every Saturday.
A. ③①④② B. ①③②④ C. ③①②④ D. ②①③④
【答案】C
【详解】事件排序题。顺序为:母亲生病(③)→"我"替母亲送饺子(①)→"我"看到墙上的全家照(②)→"我"从此每周六都去看望格林太太(④)。故选 C。
【考点】记叙文事件排序;Unit 2 短语 from then on
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The writer has changed his opinion about helping others.
B. The writer will keep the small bunch of flowers forever.
C. Mrs Green's daughter will come back from Canada soon.
D. The writer's mother hopes he will become a kind person.
【答案】A
【详解】推理判断题。结尾写"我"从此每周六都陪母亲去看望格林太太,并懂得了"美不一定在于大事",可见"我"从最初抱怨母亲花时间去帮助邻居,转变为主动去帮助别人,即对帮助他人的看法发生了改变。故选 A。B、C、D 三项在文中均无依据。
【考点】Unit 1 短语 be willing to do / 品质话题;Unit 4 主题"发现日常生活中的美";推理判断
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共 60 分)

【考点】Unit 4 词汇 thankful / grateful 及搭配 be thankful for
50.With a strong will, we can ______ (克服) any difficulty in our life.

B)用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空,每空只填一词。
51.Many ______ (teenage) feel worried about their schoolwork and don't know what to do.

【考点】Unit 4 短语 hidden beauty;分词作定语
54.His ______ (kind) to the old man moved everyone in the village.
【答案】kindness
【详解】形容词性物主代词 His 后接名词;kind 是形容词,其名词形式为 kindness,意为"善良,仁慈"。

58.他终于下定决心要努力学习,实现自己的梦想。
He finally ______ ______ ______ ______ to work hard and achieve his dream.

59.你能告诉我怎样和父母好好沟通吗?
Could you tell me ______ ______ ______ with your parents?
【答案】how to communicate
【详解】"怎样做某事"用"疑问词 how + 动词不定式"结构,此处作 tell 的宾语;"和某人沟通"用 communicate with sb.。注意这里用的是"疑问词 + 不定式",不是宾语从句。
【考点】Unit 2 短语 communicate with;疑问词 + 动词不定式
60.他从不炫耀自己,总是乐于帮助别人。
He never ______ ______ and is always ______ ______ help others.
【答案】shows off;willing to

Never Give Up
Difficulties are part of everyone's life. So are they in mine.
书面表达答题区
【参考范文】
Difficulties are part of everyone's life. So are they in mine.
Last term, I took part in the school English speech competition. However, my spoken English was poor and I was too shy to speak in public. I almost wanted to give up.
But I decided to take on the challenge. First, I practised my speech for half an hour every day and read it aloud in front of a mirror. Second, whenever I met a difficult word, I asked my English teacher for help and took her suggestions seriously. I also wrote down my feelings in my diary to cheer myself up.
In the end, I didn't win a prize, but I could speak much more confidently than before. From this experience, I have learned that we should never lose heart. If we keep a positive attitude and never give up, we will find that life is beautiful.
【写作指导】本篇为记叙加感悟类作文。(1)时态:叙述经历用一般过去时,谈感悟用一般现在时。(2)结构:第一段点明遇到的困难;第二段用 First、Second 等词分条写出坚持的做法;第三段写出结果与感悟。(3)句式:可适当使用 however、whenever、if 等连接词以及 take part in、give up、take on、deal with、lose heart 等本卷重点短语,提升语言档次。
【评分参考】第一档(21—25 分):内容完整覆盖三个要点,语言流畅,句式多样,基本无语言错误。第二档(16—20 分):要点基本完整,语言较通顺,有少量错误。第三档(11—15 分):要点不完整,语言错误较多,但能表达主要意思。第四档(6—10 分):只写出个别要点,语言错误多,影响理解。第五档(0—5 分):内容与题目要求无关,或只能写出个别单词。

When Yang Fan was in Grade 7, his teacher gave each student a young tree to plant on Tree-planting Day. Yang Fan planted his tree in the garden and watered it every morning before school.
A month later, the other trees were green and lively, but his tree was still short and thin, with only a few small leaves. "It's no use," Yang Fan said to his father one evening. "I water it every day, but it never grows. I want to give up."
His father smiled and asked him to dig a little soil (土) near the tree. "Look," he said, "the roots (根) under the ground are much longer and stronger than the leaves you can see. While you are sleeping, the tree is working hard. It is not wasting time."
Yang Fan didn't say anything, but from that day on he kept watering his tree and stopped complaining (抱怨). Two years later, when he was in Grade 9, his tree was the tallest in the garden. In spring it was covered with pink flowers, and students from other classes came to take photos of it.
"Now I understand," Yang Fan said. "Growth is not always easy to see. But if you keep going, one day you will see the result — and it will be more beautiful than you can imagine."

Today, many teenagers are worried about their schoolwork, their friends or their parents. Some of them keep these worries to themselves, and that can make things worse. So if you are one of them, what should you do?
First, talk to someone you trust (信任). It may be your parents, your teacher or a close friend. When you say your worries out loud, they often become smaller. You may also get useful advice from the person you are talking to.
Second, write down how you feel. Writing down your feelings helps you understand yourself better. It can also help you find out what is really making you unhappy, and then you can deal with it in a right way.
Third, do something you enjoy. Music, sports, reading or cooking — anything that makes you feel relaxed is helpful. When you are doing something you like, you may forget your problems for a while and get new energy.
Finally, ask for help when the problem is too big for you. It is not a shame (羞耻) to ask for help. Students who are good at dealing with problems are not those who never have problems, but those who know how to ask for help.
Being a teenager is not always easy. However, remembering these ways can help you get through the hard times and enjoy the beauty of life.

D
Mrs Green lived alone in a small flat next to ours. Every Saturday morning my mother would knock at her door with a plate of hot dumplings. I never understood why she spent so much time on an old neighbour, and I often complained to her about it.
One rainy Saturday my mother was ill, so she asked me to take the dumplings to Mrs Green. I stood at the door and knocked. Mrs Green opened it slowly. Her flat was small, but it was full of the smell of flowers. There were dried flowers (干花) on the wall and fresh ones in a vase (花瓶).
"Come in, come in," she said. "How kind of you." I put the plate on the table. Then I noticed a photo on the wall — a young woman and a little girl, both smiling happily. "That's my daughter," Mrs Green said. "She lives in Canada now. She sends me flowers every year on my birthday. I dry them and keep them here."
When I left, she gave me a small bunch (束) of flowers. "Take them home. They will make your room beautiful." I felt my face turn red. I had come to help her, but she was the one who gave me something.
That evening I told my mother about my visit. She smiled and said, "Kindness is like that. It always comes back." From then on, I visited Mrs Green with my mother every Saturday. Beside her flowers I learned an important lesson: beauty is not always about big things. Sometimes it is a plate of dumplings or a bunch of flowers.
