B Fu Lei’s Family Letters is a book of letters written by Chinese translator (翻译家) and writer Fu Lei and his wife to his elder son Fu Cong, who was a well-known pianist. Between 1954 and 1966, Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home training as a piano player. As a result, writing letters became Fu Lei’s usual way of communicating with his elder son. Fu Min, Fu Lei’s younger son edited (编辑) the letters and the book came out in 1981. The book shows Fu Lei’ s family tradition and value. To Fu Lei, the purpose of education of a person is to make that person useful to society. Fu Lei praised (赞扬) his son Fu Cong after he won a piano competition. Fu Lei wrote, “We are happy because you make your country proud. I am so excited when I think about your future. You will make great progress and serve more people, encourage them and heal (治愈) them.” In the family letters, Fu Cong was also advised to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, Fu Cong was told to connect ideas and feelings together, because that would help him become a better person. To Fu Lei, learning to be a good person comes before any academic (学术的) training. Fu Lei’s Family Letters has a great influence on people in China. The book has been sold more than six million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives. 1．Who edited Fu Lei’s family letters? A．Fu Lei. B．Fu Cong. C．Fu Min. D．A translator. 2．What did Fu Lei think of Fu Cong’s future? A．It would be uncertain. B．It would be hopeful. C．It would be difficult. D．It would be terrible. 3．Why was Fu Cong advised to read famous Chinese texts? A．To become a better person. B．To do more academic training. C．To help more people. D．To be a richer man. 4．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．Fu Min was younger than Fu Cong. B．Fu Lei often wrote to his elder son. C．The book was translated into two foreign languages. D．The book helps many young people get higher marks. 5．In Fu Lei’s Family Letters, we can learn ________ . A．how Fu Lei became a famous pianist B．how Fu Cong edited the letters into a book C．Fu Lei's family tradition and value D．Fu Lei's advice on communicating skills C Sharks are fast hunters, and their skin is a big reason why. Scientists often learn from nature. By studying shark skin, they turned careful observations (观察) into useful inventions. Shark skin has a special design. It is covered with millions of tiny, hard skin pieces. These pieces look like small teeth and line up from head to tail. Such tiny lines guide water, allowing it to move more smoothly. The same pattern also keeps tiny sea animals from sticking, so the skin stays cleaner. Thanks to this design, sharks can swim faster and use less energy. People used this idea to make better swimsuits. In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers such as Dietrich closely studied shark skin. Years later, they worked with the company Speedo and made the Fastskin swimsuit. The suit’s cloth (布料) has tiny, tooth-shaped lines that successfully copy shark skin. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, swimmers wearing Fastskin won about 83% of the medals. Engineers used the same idea on ships. Sea life can build up on the bottom of ships, slowing them down and wasting fuel (燃料). To fix this, they put special coatings (涂层) with tiny patterns like shark skin on the bottom. With fewer sea creatures sticking there, ships need less cleaning and use less fuel. That saves money and cuts pollution. From a fast fish to faster humans, shark skin shows that nature is a great teacher. When we keep exploring, watch closely, and test our ideas, we can turn wild clues into real inventions. 1．What can we learn about shark skin from paragraph 2? A．It has a common design. B．It slows the shark down. C．It makes water flow faster. D．It is covered by tiny sea animals. 2．Why does the writer mention (提及) the 2000 Sydney Olympics in paragraph 3? A．To report the event’s results. B．To praise the swimmers’ performance. C．To show the success of the Fastskin swimsuit. D．To compare swimmers from different countries. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．It explains why ships pollute the sea. B．It describes problems ships face at sea. C．It explains why engineers study shark skin. D．It shows how a shark-skin design improves the ships. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Shark Skin Makes Swimmers Faster B．Shark Skin Brings Better Swimsuits C．Shark Skin Inspires Great Inventions D．Shark Skin Solves Environmental Problems 第二节阅读下面语篇,根据语篇内容回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分，共10分) Heman Bekele from the US, now 14, moved to Virginia when he was 4 years old. But he still cares about his birthplace: Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚). “Skin cancer (皮肤癌) is a big problem in developing (发展中的) countries,” Bekele told USA Today. But it’s expensive for people to treat (治疗) it. That made Bekele feel sad. He wanted to find a better way. So Bekele learned about skin cancer. He learned that dendritic cells (树突细胞) help protect skin. Then he made skin cancer-treating soap (肥皂) with the cells. “Doing it taught him how important it is not to give up,” Bekele said. One big challenge was to make sure the soap didn’t break into pieces. He tried many different ways. Finally, he succeeded. “It was so difficult to get a bar of soap to not just melt immediately (立即融化掉),” Bekele said, adding that he tried many different ways. “Keeping trying is a very important part of the scientific process (科学过程).” Bekele’s invention won him 25,000 dollars (about 178,000 yuan) as prize money in the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition in the US that encourages kids to think of new ways to solve everyday problems. “I’m going to use this prize money to continue research within the science field,” Bekele told NPR.

The story is full of lots of interesting facts about the countries he visits and the local people he meets. One of my favourite parts is the opening of the book. I want to introduce this book to anyone who loves geography and wants to go on an adventure. Although the book is for children aged eight to twelve, I think older students will enjoy reading it too. 二、补全对话(本大题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分) 根据对话内容,从下面选项中选出恰当的句子补全对话,有一个选项是多余的。 A: Sorry, Tom, I can’t go home with you today.

When I was a young girl, I was quite shy. Every time I talked with others, I was 1 to look into their eyes. What was worse, I stammered (口吃) when I spoke. “Sana, why don’t you read this paragraph for us?” asked Miss Meng, my English teacher, one day. Hesitantly (犹豫地), I stood up to read the paragraph. However, I just stood there, 2 to speak a word. The classmates started laughing. “Sana,” said Miss Meng, “sit down!” 3 terribly awkward (尴尬的), I sat down and Miss Meng asked someone else to read it. After class, I went to the library, planning to practise reading and overcome (克服) my weakness. I walked past some of my classmates who were also sitting there as I went to the bookshelf. I heard them speaking 4 . “What is she doing here?” asked one. “She needs to work hard!” said another. Hearing these, I quickly walked out of the library with a red face. “Sana, right?” a beautiful voice came into my ears. I 5 and my eyes met hers. It was Susan. “You have a beautiful voice. What about practising reading together?” Her warm words cheered me up a lot. I 6 with a smile. From then on, whenever we had time, we would practise reading aloud together. She even 7 me how to pronounce each word clearly and correctly. As time went on, I became better and better at reading. I became more outgoing and 8 . Much to everyone’s 9 , I even won third place in the city’s speaking competition. Now I work at a local radio station as a presenter. So doubts and 10 can never hold us back as long as we try hard. 1．A．risky B．successful C．confident D．afraid 2．A．unable B．unhappy C．ready D．patient 3．A．Sounding B．Tasting C．Feeling D．Smelling 4．A．angrily B．happily C．softly D．nervously 5．A．looked down B．looked away C．looked after D．looked up 6．A．nodded B．shook C．stood D．sat 7．A．asked B．needed C．taught D．wished 8．A．different B．confident C．shocked D．silent 9．A．regret B．shame C．joy D．surprise 10．A．values B．results C．fears D．dangers 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 6．A 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Sana小时候害羞口吃，课堂朗读受挫，在同学Susan的鼓励陪伴下坚持练习朗读，不断突破自我，最终在演讲比赛获奖，成为电台主持人的成长故事，告诉我们只要努力，怀疑与恐惧都无法阻挡我们前进。 【详解】1．句意：每次和别人交谈，我都不敢直视他们的眼睛。 前文交代我小时候十分害羞，afraid意为“害怕的”，契合内向胆怯的人物状态；risky“危险的”，successful“成功的”，confident“自信的”，都和害羞的语境矛盾。 2．句意：然而，我就站在那里，一个字也说不出来。 后文写到同学们开始大笑，说明我紧张得无法开口朗读，unable意为“不能够的”，对应现场卡顿失语的情景；unhappy“不开心的”，ready“准备好的”，patient“有耐心的”，不符合当时的处境。 3．句意：感觉无比尴尬，我坐了下来，孟老师叫其他人来朗读。 上文刚刚写我当众朗读失败遭到同学嘲笑，此处描写内心的感受，Feeling意为“感觉”，用来表达内心尴尬的情绪；Sounding“听起来”，Tasting“尝起来”，Smelling“闻起来”，均不能用来描述心理感受。 4．句意：我听见他们在低声交谈。 故事发生在图书馆，需要保持安静，同学们只能小声议论，softly意为“轻声地”，契合图书馆的环境；angrily“生气地”，happily“开心地”，nervously“紧张地”，和场景逻辑不符。 5．句意：我抬起头，目光和她相遇。 前文我遭受同学议论，红着脸情绪低落，是低着头的状态，听到声音之后抬头对视，looked up意为“抬头”，符合动作逻辑；looked down“向下看”，looked away“移开视线”，looked after“照顾”，无法实现目光对视。 6．句意：我微笑着点了点头。 Susan主动提出邀约，邀请我一起练习朗读，结合“ with a smile.”，代表我欣然接受提议，nodded意为“点头”；shook“摇晃”，stood“站立”，sat“坐下”，不能表达同意邀请的含义。 7．句意：她甚至教我如何清晰准确地读出每一个单词。 二人结伴练习朗读，Susan帮助我纠正发音，taught意为“教”，体现传授朗读技巧的行为；asked“询问”，needed“需要”，wished“希望”，不符合语境。 8．句意：我变得更加外向自信。 前文写我坚持练习朗读，克服口吃的弱点，outgoing意为“外向的”，与之并列，confident意为“自信的”，体现我性格上的积极转变；different“不同的”，shocked“震惊的”，silent“沉默的”，无法体现战胜自卑后的变化。 9．句意：令所有人惊讶的是，我甚至在全市演讲比赛拿到了第三名。 从前我害羞口吃不敢当众朗读，如今取得比赛名次，前后形成巨大反差，surprise意为“惊讶”，much to one’s surprise是固定搭配，表示“令某人惊讶的是”；regret“后悔”，shame“羞愧”，joy“喜悦”，不能匹配前后巨大的处境反差。 10．句意：所以只要我们肯努力，怀疑和恐惧永远无法阻碍我们前进。 整篇文章围绕主人公战胜内心胆怯展开，doubts意为“怀疑”，fears意为“恐惧”，和前文自己害羞、畏惧当众说话的经历相呼应；values“价值”，results“结果”，dangers“危险”，和全文表达的成长主题不契合。 四、阅读理解(本大题共40分) 第一节阅读下列语篇,从每题所给的选项中，选出最佳选项。(共15小题,每小题2分，共30分) A Daisy likes reading Modern Girl Magazine because it often has personality quizzes.

Between 1954 and 1966, Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home training as a piano player. As a result, writing letters became Fu Lei’s usual way of communicating with his elder son. Fu Min, Fu Lei’s younger son edited (编辑) the letters and the book came out in 1981. The book shows Fu Lei’ s family tradition and value. To Fu Lei, the purpose of education of a person is to make that person useful to society. Fu Lei praised (赞扬) his son Fu Cong after he won a piano competition. Fu Lei wrote, “We are happy because you make your country proud. I am so excited when I think about your future. You will make great progress and serve more people, encourage them and heal (治愈) them.” In the family letters, Fu Cong was also advised to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, Fu Cong was told to connect ideas and feelings together, because that would help him become a better person. To Fu Lei, learning to be a good person comes before any academic (学术的) training. Fu Lei’s Family Letters has a great influence on people in China. The book has been sold more than six million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives. 1．Who edited Fu Lei’s family letters? A．Fu Lei. B．Fu Cong. C．Fu Min.

Fu Lei wrote, ‘We are happy because you make your country proud. I am so excited when I think about your future. You will make great progress and serve more people, encourage them and heal them.’”可知，他的儿子傅聪在一次钢琴比赛中获胜后，傅雷表扬了他。根据他说的话可推断，傅雷认为傅聪的未来充满希望。 3．根据第三段中“In the family letters, Fu Cong was also advised to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, Fu Cong was told to connect ideas and feelings together, because that would help him become a better person.”可知，傅聪被建议阅读中国名著，因为这将帮助他成为一个更好的人。 4．根据最后一段“It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives.”可知,《傅雷家书》对中国人影响很大，它帮助许多年轻学生了解他们应该如何过自己的生活；没有提到过和学生考试分数的关系。 5．根据第二段中“The book shows Fu Lei’s family tradition and value.”可知，傅雷的家庭传统和价值观体现在书中。 C Sharks are fast hunters, and their skin is a big reason why. Scientists often learn from nature. By studying shark skin, they turned careful observations (观察) into useful inventions. Shark skin has a special design. It is covered with millions of tiny, hard skin pieces. These pieces look like small teeth and line up from head to tail. Such tiny lines guide water, allowing it to move more smoothly. The same pattern also keeps tiny sea animals from sticking, so the skin stays cleaner. Thanks to this design, sharks can swim faster and use less energy. People used this idea to make better swimsuits. In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers such as Dietrich closely studied shark skin. Years later, they worked with the company Speedo and made the Fastskin swimsuit. The suit’s cloth (布料) has tiny, tooth-shaped lines that successfully copy shark skin. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, swimmers wearing Fastskin won about 83% of the medals. Engineers used the same idea on ships. Sea life can build up on the bottom of ships, slowing them down and wasting fuel (燃料). To fix this, they put special coatings (涂层) with tiny patterns like shark skin on the bottom. With fewer sea creatures sticking there, ships need less cleaning and use less fuel. That saves money and cuts pollution. From a fast fish to faster humans, shark skin shows that nature is a great teacher. When we keep exploring, watch closely, and test our ideas, we can turn wild clues into real inventions. 1．What can we learn about shark skin from paragraph 2? A．It has a common design. B．It slows the shark down. C．It makes water flow faster. D．It is covered by tiny sea animals. 2．Why does the writer mention (提及) the 2000 Sydney Olympics in paragraph 3? A．To report the event’s results. B．To praise the swimmers’ performance. C．To show the success of the Fastskin swimsuit. D．To compare swimmers from different countries. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．It explains why ships pollute the sea. B．It describes problems ships face at sea. C．It explains why engineers study shark skin. D．It shows how a shark-skin design improves the ships. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Shark Skin Makes Swimmers Faster B．Shark Skin Brings Better Swimsuits C．Shark Skin Inspires Great Inventions D．Shark Skin Solves Environmental Problems 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍鲨鱼皮肤独特的结构特点，人类从中获得灵感，研发出快皮泳衣与船舶特殊涂层，说明大自然能够启发人类发明创造。 【详解】1．原文第二段“Such tiny lines guide water, allowing it to move more smoothly.”，这句话说明鲨鱼皮肤的细小纹路引导水流，让水流动更顺畅。 2．原文第三段“At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, swimmers wearing Fastskin won about 83% of the medals.”，作者举悉尼奥运会的例子，用来证明Fastskin泳衣的成功。 3．原文第四段“Engineers used the same idea on ships.”，本段介绍工程师把鲨鱼皮的设计用在船底，改善船舶性能。 4．文章第一段总起，点明研究鲨鱼皮可以催生实用发明；第二段介绍鲨鱼皮的特殊结构与作用原理，第三、四段分别介绍鲨鱼皮结构在泳衣、船舶领域的应用，二者同属仿生应用部分，为并列关系；第五段总结全文，点明自然是人类的老师，观察与探索能带来发明。整体为总-分-总结构，分述部分分为两大板块，第二板块包含三、四两个段落，对应选项B的结构。 5．全文围绕鲨鱼皮的仿生应用展开，介绍了鲨鱼皮的结构启发了多个领域的实用发明，核心是鲨鱼皮为人类带来了诸多发明灵感，因此“Shark Skin Inspires Great Inventions”最适合作为文章标题。 第二节阅读下面语篇,根据语篇内容回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分，共10分) Heman Bekele from the US, now 14, moved to Virginia when he was 4 years old. But he still cares about his birthplace: Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚). “Skin cancer (皮肤癌) is a big problem in developing (发展中的) countries,” Bekele told USA Today. But it’s expensive for people to treat (治疗) it. That made Bekele feel sad. He wanted to find a better way. So Bekele learned about skin cancer. He learned that dendritic cells (树突细胞) help protect skin. Then he made skin cancer-treating soap (肥皂) with the cells. “Doing it taught him how important it is not to give up,” Bekele said.

B Fu Lei’s Family Letters is a book of letters written by Chinese translator (翻译家) and writer Fu Lei and his wife to his elder son Fu Cong, who was a well-known pianist. Between 1954 and 1966, Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home training as a piano player. As a result, writing letters became Fu Lei’s usual way of communicating with his elder son. Fu Min, Fu Lei’s younger son edited (编辑) the letters and the book came out in 1981. The book shows Fu Lei’ s family tradition and value. To Fu Lei, the purpose of education of a person is to make that person useful to society. Fu Lei praised (赞扬) his son Fu Cong after he won a piano competition. Fu Lei wrote, “We are happy because you make your country proud. I am so excited when I think about your future. You will make great progress and serve more people, encourage them and heal (治愈) them.” In the family letters, Fu Cong was also advised to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, Fu Cong was told to connect ideas and feelings together, because that would help him become a better person. To Fu Lei, learning to be a good person comes before any academic (学术的) training. Fu Lei’s Family Letters has a great influence on people in China. The book has been sold more than six million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives. 1．Who edited Fu Lei’s family letters? A．Fu Lei. B．Fu Cong. C．Fu Min. D．A translator. 2．What did Fu Lei think of Fu Cong’s future? A．It would be uncertain. B．It would be hopeful. C．It would be difficult. D．It would be terrible. 3．Why was Fu Cong advised to read famous Chinese texts? A．To become a better person. B．To do more academic training. C．To help more people. D．To be a richer man. 4．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．Fu Min was younger than Fu Cong. B．Fu Lei often wrote to his elder son. C．The book was translated into two foreign languages. D．The book helps many young people get higher marks. 5．In Fu Lei’s Family Letters, we can learn ________ . A．how Fu Lei became a famous pianist B．how Fu Cong edited the letters into a book C．Fu Lei's family tradition and value D．Fu Lei's advice on communicating skills C Sharks are fast hunters, and their skin is a big reason why. Scientists often learn from nature. By studying shark skin, they turned careful observations (观察) into useful inventions. Shark skin has a special design. It is covered with millions of tiny, hard skin pieces. These pieces look like small teeth and line up from head to tail. Such tiny lines guide water, allowing it to move more smoothly. The same pattern also keeps tiny sea animals from sticking, so the skin stays cleaner. Thanks to this design, sharks can swim faster and use less energy. People used this idea to make better swimsuits. In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers such as Dietrich closely studied shark skin. Years later, they worked with the company Speedo and made the Fastskin swimsuit. The suit’s cloth (布料) has tiny, tooth-shaped lines that successfully copy shark skin. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, swimmers wearing Fastskin won about 83% of the medals. Engineers used the same idea on ships. Sea life can build up on the bottom of ships, slowing them down and wasting fuel (燃料). To fix this, they put special coatings (涂层) with tiny patterns like shark skin on the bottom. With fewer sea creatures sticking there, ships need less cleaning and use less fuel. That saves money and cuts pollution. From a fast fish to faster humans, shark skin shows that nature is a great teacher. When we keep exploring, watch closely, and test our ideas, we can turn wild clues into real inventions. 1．What can we learn about shark skin from paragraph 2? A．It has a common design. B．It slows the shark down. C．It makes water flow faster. D．It is covered by tiny sea animals. 2．Why does the writer mention (提及) the 2000 Sydney Olympics in paragraph 3? A．To report the event’s results. B．To praise the swimmers’ performance. C．To show the success of the Fastskin swimsuit. D．To compare swimmers from different countries. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．It explains why ships pollute the sea. B．It describes problems ships face at sea. C．It explains why engineers study shark skin. D．It shows how a shark-skin design improves the ships. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Shark Skin Makes Swimmers Faster B．Shark Skin Brings Better Swimsuits C．Shark Skin Inspires Great Inventions D．Shark Skin Solves Environmental Problems 第二节阅读下面语篇,根据语篇内容回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分，共10分) Heman Bekele from the US, now 14, moved to Virginia when he was 4 years old. But he still cares about his birthplace: Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚). “Skin cancer (皮肤癌) is a big problem in developing (发展中的) countries,” Bekele told USA Today. But it’s expensive for people to treat (治疗) it. That made Bekele feel sad. He wanted to find a better way. So Bekele learned about skin cancer. He learned that dendritic cells (树突细胞) help protect skin. Then he made skin cancer-treating soap (肥皂) with the cells. “Doing it taught him how important it is not to give up,” Bekele said. One big challenge was to make sure the soap didn’t break into pieces. He tried many different ways. Finally, he succeeded. “It was so difficult to get a bar of soap to not just melt immediately (立即融化掉),” Bekele said, adding that he tried many different ways. “Keeping trying is a very important part of the scientific process (科学过程).” Bekele’s invention won him 25,000 dollars (about 178,000 yuan) as prize money in the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition in the US that encourages kids to think of new ways to solve everyday problems. “I’m going to use this prize money to continue research within the science field,” Bekele told NPR.
