She was always silent and seldom asked simple questions or spoke aloud in front of others. It seemed that she felt afraid of everything in her life.

He said, “It does require a lot of courage and hard work to make it. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse.” Linda was deeply touched by what Paul said and she made a decision to change herself. She started by losing weight. And she took up exercising. At the same time, she followed a strict diet. Although she thought about giving up many times, she fought on. After 6 months, she lost a lot of weight—she was 90 pounds lighter than before. She was so excited to realize that everything is possible. Great changes had taken place since then. A few months later, Linda heard about a speech competition at her school. She plucked up (鼓起) courage to sign up for the competition. For the first time, she dared to speak aloud in public and shared her own story in the competition. In the end, she got a big prize! That made her proud of herself. After the competition, Linda made a to-do list and tried her best to finish the things one by one. She becomes more confident than she used to be. She is still making progress now. 43.

Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 48. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A. Cao Cao. B. Li Bai. C. Tao Yuanming. D. Cao Zhi. 49.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要四川自贡的盛大灯会以及灯笼制作人Wan Songtao。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty.”可知，自贡灯笼节追溯到唐朝，四个选项中只有李白是唐朝诗人，故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps”可知，制作一个用于展览的巨型灯笼需要17个步骤，这并不容易。根据“The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process”可知，自贡制作灯笼的工人们在一个团队里一起工作，根据“Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography”可知，自贡的灯笼与其他地方的不同，故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways.”可知，第三段主要介绍了灯笼的主题，故选A。 【51题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries”可知，在整个城市的共同努力下，自贡灯笼已经到达了80多个国家，所以they指代“Zigong lanterns”，故选B。 【52题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出本文主题，第二段介绍了灯笼的制作步骤，第三段介绍了灯笼的主题，最后一段介绍了政府的大力支持以及人们对于自贡灯笼前景展望，属于总—分—总的结构，故选A。 B） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Mark Twain once said, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” The problem many of us have is procrastination (拖延症). ____53____ However, everyone can avoid it by taking a few simple steps today! Make daily “to do” lists. Before your day ends, make a plan for tomorrow. List upcoming tasks in order of importance. You’ll begin each new day with a head start. As you complete each task, check it off. ____54____ Always keep your daily schedule (计划) with you. Use it to remind yourself what you need to do next. Break large tasks up into small ones. ____55____ You may feel defeated (挫败的) before beginning. But every project is doable if it’s done in small steps. Begin by breaking up your task into smaller parts. This helps remove the unnecessary fear of having to do a large project all at one time. ____56____ If your workplace is full of distractions (使人分心的事), you’ll need to make some changes. You may need to remove your phone or TV from your workplace. If people often stop by for a talk, you may need to move to a different place. Follow the five-minute rule. The hardest part about any task is getting started. One solution to this problem is to schedule a time daily to work on your big project. Work on it for only five minutes. ____57____ Surprisingly, once you’ve begun, you may be able to keep going and finish the task. A. You will certainly succeed at once. B. Change your working environment. C. This will give you a sense of success. D. Then decide whether or not to continue. E. Learning from your mistakes will make you strong. F. If a project looks too big, it can discourage you from getting started. G. When procrastination becomes a habit, it can make our lives terrible. 【答案】53. G 54. C 55. F 56. B 57. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍拖延症的危害以及几种克服拖延症的方法。 【53题详解】 空格前引出很多人都有拖延这个问题，空格后介绍但是我们可以通过简单方法避免拖延。G选项“When procrastination becomes a habit, it can make our lives terrible.（当拖延成为一种习惯时，它会让我们的生活变得很糟糕。）”承接上文提到的拖延问题，同时和后文形成转折关系。 【54题详解】 空格前提出完成一项任务，就把它划掉，空格后介绍要随身带着每日计划表，提醒自己接下来该做什么。C选项“This will give you a sense of success.（这会给你一种成就感。）”承接上文完成任务并勾选的做法，同时引出后文坚持使用计划表的内容。 【55题详解】 空格前提出要把大任务拆解成小任务，空格后介绍在开始之前你可能会觉得挫败。F选项“If a project looks too big, it can discourage you from getting started.（如果一项任务看起来太过庞大，它会打消你开始行动的念头。）”承接上文拆分大任务这一方法，同时引出后文面对繁重任务容易受挫的内容。 【56题详解】 空格后介绍如果工作环境里有很多干扰，你需要做出改变，可以拿走手机电视或者换一个地方。B选项“Change your working environment.（改变你的工作环境。）”总领本段，同时引出后文改造工作环境的具体做法。 【57题详解】 空格前提出每天安排时间处理大项目，只先做五分钟，空格后介绍令人意外的是，一旦开始，你或许可以坚持下去完成任务。D选项“Then decide whether or not to continue.（然后决定要不要继续。）”承接上文只做五分钟的规则，同时引出后文持续完成任务的内容。 五、补全对话 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整，一空一句。 (Susan hasn’t seen her old friend Amy for 5 years.

This hairstyle looks quite nice on you. Susan: Thanks. ____61____ Anything to drink? Amy: Coffee, please. Susan: With sugar? Amy: No, thanks. I like coffee with nothing in it. Susan: Just a minute. ____62____ A. How time flies! B. How do you like it? C. It will be ready soon. D. Make yourself at home, Amy. E. Would you like to have a drink? F. Why don’t you wear long hair? G. Sorry, I’m so excited that I almost forgot to offer you something. 【答案】58. D 59. A 60. B 61. G 62. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一段对话。Susan和老朋友Amy五年未见，Susan邀请Amy来家里做客。二人见面谈论外貌的变化，之后Susan准备给Amy冲咖啡。 【58题详解】 根据上文“Come in, please.”以及下文Amy的答语“Thanks.”，主人邀请客人进屋，应该让客人不要拘束。选项Make yourself at home, Amy. (Amy，别拘束，就像在自己家一样) 符合语境。 【59题详解】 上文提到两人已经五年没见面，感慨时光飞逝。选项How time flies! (时间过得真快！) 承接五年未见的语境。 【60题详解】 下文Amy回答“Great! This hairstyle looks quite nice on you.”是在评价发型，由此可知此处询问对方觉得发型怎么样。选项How do you like it?

(很快就好了) 符合语境。 六、书面表达 63. 假如你是李华，你的朋友Mason得知你已经步入九年级，写信询问你对初中过去两年生活的感受，这两年中你最大的变化是什么，以及迎接中考这一年你有着怎样的规划。请你根据以下要点，用英语给他写一封回信。 写作要点： 1.

A Wonderful Competition D Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 48. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A. Cao Cao. B. Li Bai. C. Tao Yuanming. D. Cao Zhi. 49.

A. ①②③ B. ①④ C. ②③④ D. ②③ 50. According to the passage, what’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The rich themes of Zigong lanterns. B. The long history of Zigong lanterns. C. The excellent inheritors of Zigong lanterns. D. The modern technologies of Zigong lanterns. 51. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. People in Zigong. B. Zigong lanterns.

Make daily “to do” lists. Before your day ends, make a plan for tomorrow. List upcoming tasks in order of importance. You’ll begin each new day with a head start. As you complete each task, check it off. ____54____ Always keep your daily schedule (计划) with you. Use it to remind yourself what you need to do next. Break large tasks up into small ones. ____55____ You may feel defeated (挫败的) before beginning. But every project is doable if it’s done in small steps. Begin by breaking up your task into smaller parts. This helps remove the unnecessary fear of having to do a large project all at one time. ____56____ If your workplace is full of distractions (使人分心的事), you’ll need to make some changes.
