一、单项选择(本题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. —Look at the sky! It’s going to rain.
—Yes. We’d better ________ the windows before we leave.
A. close B. closing C. to close D. closed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看天空!要下雨了。——是的。我们离开前最好关上窗户。
had better do sth表示“最好做某事”,此处应用动词原形,应填close。
2. The little girl is afraid of ________ in a room alone at night.
A. sleep B. slept C. sleeping D. to sleeping
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个小女孩害怕晚上独自在房间里睡觉。
固定搭配be afraid of doing sth.表示“害怕做某事”,of是介词,后面要接动名词,sleep的动名词形式是sleeping。故填sleeping。
3. —I called you at eight last night, but nobody answered.
—Oh, I ________ a shower at that time.
A. was taking B. took C. take D. have taken
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨晚八点我给你打电话,但是没人接。——哦,我那时候正在洗澡。
根据“at that time”可知,此处表示过去某个时刻正在发生的动作,要用过去进行时,应填was taking。
4. He speaks English ____ than any other student in his class.
A. good B. well C. better D. best
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他说英语比班上其他任何同学都好。
good好的;well好地;better更好地;best最好地。句中出现“than”,是比较级的标志词,此处需要修饰动词“speaks”,应用副词的比较级形式。“good”是形容词原级,“well”是副词原级,“best”是最高级,均不符合要求;“better”是“well”的比较级,可修饰动词,符合语境,故正确答案为better。
5. —Must I hand in the report today?
—No, you ________. Tomorrow is fine.
A. can’t B. needn’t C. mustn’t D. shouldn’t
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我必须今天上交报告吗?——不,你不必。明天交就可以。
can’t不能;needn’t不必;mustn’t禁止;shouldn’t不应该。以Must I开头的一般疑问句,否定回答用needn’t。根据“Tomorrow is fine.”可知不必今天上交。应填needn’t。
6. My father ________ in this school since he was twenty-two.
A. teaches B. taught C. has taught D. is teaching
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我爸爸从22岁起就在这所学校教书。
时间标志词since he was twenty-two,since+过去时句子是现在完成时的典型标志,表示动作从过去开始,持续到现在。现在完成时结构:have/has+动词过去分词。主语My father是第三人称单数,故选C。
7. ________ hard, and you will pass the exam.
A. Worked B. Working C. To work D. Work
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:努力学习,你就会通过考试。
此处是“祈使句 + and + 陈述句”结构,祈使句以动词原形开头,Work符合要求。
8. —What a heavy box! Can you help me carry it?
—________ I’m strong enough.
A. Never mind. B. With pleasure.
C. That’s OK. D. It doesn’t matter.
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——好重的箱子!你能帮我搬一下吗? ——乐意效劳。我力气足够大。
Never mind.没关系;With pleasure.乐意效劳,用于答应别人的请求;That's OK.没关系;It doesn’t matter.没关系。此处是答应对方帮忙的请求,With pleasure符合语境。
9. Our teacher told us that the earth ________ around the sun.
A. went B. goes C. will go D. is going
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们的老师告诉我们地球绕着太阳转。
宾语从句表示客观真理时,即使主句是过去时,从句仍用一般现在时,故选goes。
10. —Would you like some more soup?
—No, thanks. I ________ enough.
A. have had B. had C. have D. will have
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你想再来点汤吗?——不用了,谢谢。我已经喝够了。
根据“No, thanks”可知,此处表示已经喝够了,应该使用现在完成时,应填have had。
11. This photo ________ by my grandpa in 1985. It shows the old railway station.
A. takes B. took C. is taken D. was taken
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:这张照片是爷爷在1985年拍的,它展示了老火车站。
根据时间标志词in 1985可知动作发生在过去;主语This photo和动词take之间是被动关系,照片是被拍摄,要用一般过去时被动语态was taken。
12. —Do you know the man ________ is talking with our head teacher?
—Yes. He is a writer from Harbin.
A. which B. who C. whose D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你认识那个正在和我们班主任谈话的人吗?——认识。他是一位来自哈尔滨的作家。
which哪一个/那个(指物);who谁(指人,作主语);whose谁的(指所属关系);what什么。 分析句子结构可知,这是一个定语从句,先行词是“the man”(人)。在从句“...is talking with our head teacher”中,缺少主语,且指代人,应用关系代词who。
13. We should ________ the lights when we leave the classroom.
A. turn on B. turn off C. turn up D. turn down
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们离开教室的时候应该关掉灯。
turn on打开;turn off关闭;turn up调大;turn down调小。根据“when we leave the classroom”可知,离开教室需要关灯,turn off符合语境。
14. It’s getting dark. ________ we go home now?
A. Do B. Shall C. Need D. Must
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:天快黑了。我们现在回家好吗?
Do助动词;Shall将要;Need需要;Must必须。Shall we…是提建议的固定句型,Shall符合语境。
15. He speaks English ________ fluently ________ he were an American.
A. so; that B. too; to C. as; as D. such; that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他的英语说得如此流利,就好像他是个美国人一样。
so; that如此……以至于;too; to太……而不能;as; as和……一样;such; that如此……以至于。根据“he were an American”可知,从句中使用虚拟语气,此处要表达他英语流利的程度就像他是美国人一样,as + 副词原级 + as 表示“和……一样”,此处为比较状语从句,故选as; as。
二、完形填空(本题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
先通读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项中,选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
The old man came to the hut every morning at six. He carried a wooden box of tools and a small chair, set them down in the corner and began to ____16____. Click, click, click. The sound was as regular as a clock.
I was twelve that summer, staying with my grandmother in the village. There was nothing much to do, so I often sat on the step and watched him. He was repairing a broken clock — one of more than sixty that filled the shelves of his hut.
“Where do they all come from?” I asked one day.
“People bring them,” he said without looking up. “Every clock has its own ____17____. Some are quick, some are slow. Some stop at night. You cannot ____18____ them all in the same way.”
I began to visit him every morning. First I only watched. Then he let me ____19____ the tiny screws. Later he taught me how to clean the gears with a soft brush. I was ____20____ at first and broke a spring. I thought he would be angry, but he only said, “Now you know how ____21____ a spring is.”
One afternoon a woman came in with a small clock. “It was my father’s,” she said. “It hasn’t worked for twenty years, but I can’t ____22____ it away.” The old man opened the back and looked inside for a long while. “It can be saved,” he said at last. The woman’s eyes lit up.
That evening I asked him ____23____ he didn't just throw the broken ones away. He put down his tools and said, “A clock is not only a machine. It ____24____ somebody’s time. When a person brings a clock to me, he is not asking me to fix a machine. He is asking me to give back a piece of his ____25____.”
I left the village at the end of August. Before I got on the bus, the old man gave me a small alarm clock. “It still works,” he said. “But it is a little slow — five minutes a day. You will have to ____26____ it every week.”
The clock stands on my desk now. Every morning it rings five minutes late, and I smile. It has taught me something that no textbook could: ____27____ things take time, and so do people. When something is ____28____, don't be too quick to throw it away. Give it a little more time, and give it a little more ____29____.
Last month I wrote to the old man. I told him I had joined a repair club at school, and that I had fixed my first clock ____30____. I like to think that somewhere in that little hut, he is smiling too.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在暑假期间观察一位乡村老人修理时钟的经历。老人不仅教会了作者修理的技巧,更通过对待旧时钟的态度,让作者明白了万物皆有其价值,做事需要耐心,不能轻易放弃的道理。
【16题详解】
句意:他每天早上六点来到小屋。他带着一个木制的工具箱和一把小椅子,把它们放在角落里,然后开始工作。
根据下文描述的“Click, click, click”的声音以及“He was repairing a broken clock”可知,老人带着工具来是为了干活。work意为“工作”,符合语境;rest意为“休息”,wait意为“等待”,read意为“阅读”,均不符合老人修钟的情境。
【17题详解】
句意:“每一个时钟都有它自己的故事。有些走得快,有些走得慢。有些晚上会停。你不能以同一种方式修理它们。”
根据前文提到的各种不同状态的时钟,以及后文提到的“不能用同一种方式修理它们”可知,老人认为每个时钟都是独特的,都有自己的经历。story意为“故事”,符合语境;colour意为“颜色”,price意为“价格”,name意为“名字”,均无法体现时钟的独特性。
【18题详解】
句意:你不能以同一种方式修理它们。
根据前文提到的时钟有快有慢、有的停走等不同的问题,以及下文作者跟着老人学习修理时钟的情节可知,此处指的是针对不同的问题,不能用同一种方式去“修理”它们。fix意为“修理”,符合语境;find意为“找到”,buy意为“买”,move意为“移动”,均不符合语境。
【19题详解】
句意:然后他让我拿着小螺丝。
根据上下文可知,作者从只看着到参与进来,首先做的是帮助老人处理一些细小的零件。hold意为“拿、握住”,符合语境;count意为“数”,draw意为“画”,clean意为“清洗”,均不符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:起初我很粗心,弄断了一个发条。
根据后文“broke a spring”这一结果可知,作者在操作时是不小心的、粗心的。careless意为“粗心的”,符合语境;careful意为“小心的”,quiet意为“安静的”,brave意为“勇敢的”,均不符合导致弄坏零件的语境。
【21题详解】
句意:我以为他会生气,但他只是说:“现在你知道发条有多容易断了。”
根据前文作者弄断了发条,而老人没有生气反而进行教育可知,老人是在告诉作者这个零件很脆弱。easy to break意为“容易断/碎”,符合语境;heavy意为“重的”,useful意为“有用的”,easy意为“容易的”,均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:“它已经二十年不走了,但我不能把它扔掉。”
根据前文“It hasn't worked for twenty years”以及转折连词but可知,虽然钟坏了,但这女人舍不得丢弃。throw...away是固定搭配,意为“扔掉”,符合语境;give意为“给”,put意为“放”,take意为“拿走”,均不符合语境。
【23题详解】
句意:那天晚上我问他为什么不直接把坏掉的扔掉。
根据上文女人送来坏钟的情节,以及作者内心的疑惑可知,作者是在询问老人这样做的原因。why意为“为什么”,符合语境;how意为“如何”,when意为“何时”,where意为“何地”,均不符合询问原因的语境。
【24题详解】
句意:时钟不仅仅是一台机器。它保存着某人的时间。
根据老人的话“A clock is not only a machine”以及下文提到的“give back a piece of his...”可知,老人认为时钟承载着人的时间记忆。keeps意为“保存、保留”,符合语境;wastes意为“浪费”,saves意为“拯救/节省”,borrows意为“借”,均不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:他是在请求我归还他生命中的一段时光。
根据前文“It keeps somebody’s time”可知,修钟就是修复那段流逝的时间,也就是生命的一部分。life意为“生命/生活”,符合语境;money意为“金钱”,work意为“工作”,house意为“房子”,均升华不到这个高度。
【26题详解】
句意:“但它有点慢——每天慢五分钟。你必须每周给它上发条。”
根据常识以及“It is a little slow”的描述,机械闹钟通常需要定期上发条才能走动准确。wind意为“给……上发条”,符合语境;clean意为“清洗”,sell意为“卖”,hide意为“藏”,均不符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:它教会了我一些课本上没有的东西:破碎的东西需要时间,人也是如此。
根据全文关于修理坏钟的主题,以及后文“don’t be too quick to throw it away”可知,这里指代的是那些损坏的物品。broken意为“破碎的/坏的”,符合语境;small意为“小的”,old意为“旧的”,cheap意为“便宜的”,均不如broken贴切文章主旨。
【28题详解】
句意:当东西坏了的时候,不要太快把它扔掉。
根据后文“Give it a little more time”可知,这是针对物品损坏时的建议。broken意为“坏的”,符合语境;new意为“新的”,dirty意为“脏的”,popular意为“流行的”,均不符合语境。
【29题详解】
句意:多给它一点时间,再多给它一点耐心。
根据前文“take time”以及老人修钟的过程可知,修复东西需要的是耐心。patience意为“耐心”,符合语境;money意为“金钱”,space意为“空间”,luck意为“运气”,均不符合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:我告诉他我加入了学校的修理俱乐部,并且我已经独自修好了我的第一个时钟。
根据前文“I had fixed my first clock”以及作者想要向老人证明自己学会了技能可知,这里是强调独立完成。alone意为“独自/单独”,符合语境;again意为“再一次”,quickly意为“迅速地”,carefully意为“仔细地”,虽然也是副词,但alone更能体现作者成长的独立性。
三、阅读理解(本题共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下面四篇材料,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Borrow, Don’t Buy—The Tool Library on Red Stone Street
Need a drill (电钻) for one small job? Need a tent for one weekend? Don’t buy it. Borrow it.
How it works
· Join for 30 yuan a year. Then borrow any tool you need.
· Each tool can be kept for 7 days. If you need it longer, call us and we will keep it for you.
· Bring it back clean and in good condition. Late return costs 2 yuan a day.

The Girl Who Painted the Wind
Nobody in Class 3 could remember when Duo Duo started drawing on the last page of her notebooks. She never showed her pictures to anyone. During breaks, while others ran to the playground, she stayed at her desk with a pencil.
Her art teacher, Mr. Gao, once looked over her shoulder. “What is this?” he asked.
“The wind,” said Duo Duo. Mr. Gao looked again. The page was covered with long, thin lines, some dark, some light, curling around a tree. She painted things nobody could see.
“You should enter the city art competition,” he said. The theme was Our School. Duo Duo shook her head. “Everyone will draw the building,” she said. “And mine doesn’t look like anything.”
But she entered. On the day of the judging (评审), more than two hundred pictures were hung in the hall: buildings, flagpoles, basketball courts. Duo Duo’s picture was small and pale, and at first nobody stopped in front of it.
Then an old judge came back to it for the third time. “What is this?” he asked the girl standing nearby.
“The wind in the trees behind our school,” she said quietly. “In spring it is warm and slow. In winter it is cold and fast. I drew the winter one.”
The judge was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Everyone here has drawn what the school looks like. You have drawn what the school feels like.”
Duo Duo’s picture won second prize. More important, the school asked her to paint a large picture for the library wall. It is still there: thin lines curling around a tree, and, if you look closely, a small girl sitting under it with a pencil in her hand.
36. What did Duo Duo usually do during breaks?
A. She ran to the playground. B. She stayed at her desk and drew.
C. She read books in the library. D. She practised painting with Mr. Gao.
37. Why did Duo Duo shake her head at first?
A. She had no time to take part. B. She was afraid of the judges.
C. She did not like the theme of the competition. D. She thought her picture did not look like anything.
38. What did the old judge think of Duo Duo’s picture?
A. It was too small to see. B. It was the same as the other pictures.
C. It showed what the school felt like. D. It was not finished.
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了喜欢画看不见的风的女孩朵朵,在美术老师的鼓励下参加以“我们的学校”为主题的城市绘画比赛,最终凭借描绘校后树林间风的作品获得二等奖,还受邀为学校图书馆墙面创作大型画作的故事。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
细节理解题。定位原文第四段“Duo Duo shook her head. ‘Everyone will draw the building,’ she said. ‘And mine doesn’t look like anything.’”,可知朵朵最初摇头是认为自己的画什么都不像。
【38题详解】

Why Do We Yawn?
You are sitting in class. The teacher is talking about something important. Suddenly your mouth opens wide, your eyes close, and you let out a long breath. You have yawned (打哈欠) — and now the person beside you is yawning too.
For a long time, people believed that we yawn because our bodies need more oxygen. But studies have not supported this idea. When scientists gave people more oxygen, they did not yawn less.
A newer idea is that yawning helps cool the brain. The brain works best when it is slightly cooler than the rest of the body. When we are tired or have been thinking hard, the brain gets warmer. A deep yawn pulls cool air into the mouth and brings blood to the head, which may help the brain cool down. This may be why we yawn more when we are tired, and why we yawn less in cold weather.
Why is yawning contagious (有传染性的)? If you see someone yawn, you may yawn too. Scientists think this has something to do with empathy — the ability to understand how others feel. In one study, children who were better at understanding other people's feelings yawned more often when they saw someone else yawn. Yawning may be a quiet way of saying, “I am like you.”
So the next time you yawn in class, don't feel bad. Your brain may simply be trying to wake up. And if the whole class starts yawning, you can tell your teacher that you are all being very friendly.
39. What did people once think caused yawning?
A. A need for more oxygen. B. A need for more sleep.
C. A drop in body temperature. D. A wish to be friendly.
40. According to the newer idea, yawning may ________.
A. make the brain warmer B. slow down the heart
C. help us breathe more slowly D. help the brain cool down
41. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean?
A. Happening only at night. B. Spreading from person to person.
C. Lasting for a long time. D. Making people feel tired.
【答案】39. A 40. D 41. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了打哈欠的相关知识,包括人们过去对打哈欠成因的看法、新研究提出的打哈欠可以给大脑降温的观点,以及打哈欠具有传染性的原因。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For a long time, people believed that we yawn because our bodies need more oxygen.”可知,长久以来,人们认为打哈欠是因为身体需要更多氧气。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A newer idea is that yawning helps cool the brain.”以及“A deep yawn pulls cool air into the mouth and brings blood to the head, which may help the brain cool down.”可知,新观点认为打哈欠有助于大脑降温
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“If you see someone yawn, you may yawn too.”可知,如果你看见别人打哈欠,你也可能会打哈欠,由此推断contagious意为“会在人与人之间传播的”。
(D)
Should School Start Later?
In many middle schools, the first class begins at 7:50. Students often get up before six to catch the bus. Is this too early? Some schools in other countries have moved their start time to 8:30, and the results have been surprising.
Doctors say that a teenager needs around nine hours of sleep each night. But during the teenage years, the body’s clock naturally moves later: most teenagers cannot fall asleep before eleven, even if they go to bed early. If they must get up at six, they lose two hours of sleep every night. Tired students find it hard to pay attention, and they catch colds more easily.
In one city, several schools started at 8:30 for a year. Students slept almost an hour more each night. Teachers reported that students were more awake in the morning, and the number of students who arrived late dropped by a quarter. Grades in the first class improved.
Not everyone agrees, though. Many parents leave for work at seven and cannot take their children to school later. Buses are shared by several schools, so changing one school’s time affects all of them. Sports teams also need time after school, and a later start means a later finish.
Perhaps the answer is not a simple yes or no. Some schools have kept the early start but moved difficult subjects to the afternoon, when students are more awake. Others open the library and playground early so that students who arrive early have a quiet place to sit. Small changes like these may help as much as a big one.
42. How long should teenagers sleep each night according to doctors?
A. Seven hours. B. Eight hours. C. Nine hours. D. Eleven hours.
43. What happened in the schools that started at 8:30?
A. Fewer students were late. B. Students slept less than before.
C. Grades in every subject went down. D. Teachers had more work to do.
44. Why do some people disagree with a later start?
A. Students would have no time for sports at all. B. Many parents leave for work at seven.
C. Schools would need to buy more buses. D. Teenagers would go to bed even later.
45. What do some schools do to help students who arrive early?
A. They open the library and playground early. B. They give them an extra class.
C. They send them home again. D. They ask them to wait outside the gate.
【答案】42. C 43. A 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨中学是否应该推迟上课时间。文章列举了推迟上课对青少年睡眠、出勤率和成绩的好处,同时也分析了家长通勤、校车等现实阻力,最后提出了折中的解决方案。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Doctors say that a teenager needs around nine hours of sleep each night.”可知,医生建议青少年每晚需要大约九小时的睡眠。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Teachers reported that students were more awake in the morning, and the number of students who arrived late dropped by a quarter.”可知,推迟到8:30上课后,迟到的学生人数减少了四分之一,也就是迟到的学生变少了。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Many parents leave for work at seven and cannot take their children to school later.”可知,一些家长早上七点就要去上班,无法晚一点送孩子上学,因此反对推迟上课时间。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Others open the library and playground early so that students who arrive early have a quiet place to sit.”可知,一些学校为了帮助早到的学生,会提前开放图书馆和操场,让他们有安静的地方休息。
四、阅读表达(本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,根据各题要求作答。
Every Saturday morning, 13-year-old Liu Yichen puts on a blue apron (围裙) and stands behind a small table at the entrance of the community centre. On the table there are three big boxes: one for old batteries, one for broken chargers, and one for used bulbs (灯泡).
Liu started this “little box” project two years ago. One day he read that a single battery can pollute a whole swimming pool of water. He looked around his home and found a drawer full of dead batteries. “We threw them into the rubbish bin without thinking,” he says. “I wanted to do something.”
At first, only a few neighbours came. Liu made a small sign with the words “Old batteries can be dangerous, but they can also be useful”. He also drew a simple picture showing what happens when batteries get into the soil. Slowly, more people stopped by. Last month, he collected 1,200 batteries, and a recycling company took them away for free.
The project has changed more than the rubbish. Liu’s father now keeps old batteries in a jar instead of throwing them away. A neighbour who once said “One boy can’t change anything” now helps Liu every Saturday.
“I’m not saving the world,” Liu says with a smile. “I’m just making one small corner of it a little cleaner. If every street had a boy like me, that would be a lot of corners.”

F. That’s too bad.
G. Thank you for your advice.
【答案】51. A 52. E 53. B 54. C 55. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇日常对话,A询问王林看起来疲惫的原因,得知他昨晚熬夜看球赛后,A给出建议,并分享自己早睡的方法,王林表示感谢。
【51题详解】
根据下文王林的回答“I was watching a football match on TV.”可知,王林在介绍昨晚自己做的事情,因此A是在询问他昨晚做了什么,A项“What did you do?”符合语境。
【52题详解】
根据后文A的回答“You could record the match and watch it the next evening.”可知,A是在给出解决办法,说明王林此时正在向对方征求建议,E项“Do you have any advice?”用来征求建议,衔接下文的建议,逻辑通顺。
【53题详解】
根据下文A的回答“I always go to bed before ten thirty.”可知,A在回答上床睡觉的时间,说明王林此处是询问对方通常几点睡觉,B项“What time do you usually go to bed?”符合问答匹配关系。
【54题详解】
根据下文A的回答“I put my phone in the living room and read a book for a while.”可知,A在介绍自己实现早睡的具体做法,说明王林好奇对方是如何做到早早入睡的,C项“How do you fall asleep so early?”用来询问方式方法,匹配答语。
【55题详解】
根据下文A的回答“You’re welcome.”可知,这一句是回应感谢的固定用语,所以王林在这里向对方表达谢意,G项“Thank you for your advice.”符合交际逻辑。
六、语法填空(本题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读短文,没有提示词的空白填入适当的词;有提示词的,用其正确形式填入。

57. to grow
58. centuries
59. of 60. are used
61. for 62. Its
63. protecting
64. beautiful
65. their
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍竹子的生长特点、传统用途、环保价值以及现代设计师对竹子的重新青睐。
【56题详解】
句意:它的生长速度比大多数树木都快,而且三四年后就可以砍伐。由原文“It grows...than most trees”可知,空格后接than,表示比较,需要副词比较级。fast的比较级是faster。
【57题详解】
句意:另一方面,一棵树可能需要三十年才能长得足够大。由原文“A tree, on the other hand, may take thirty years...big enough.”可知,空格位于take thirty years之后,需要动词不定式作状语,构成take time to do sth结构,表示花费时间做某事,因此填to grow。
【58题详解】
句意:在中国南方,竹子已经被使用了几个世纪。由原文“bamboo has been used for...”可知,空格位于介词for之后作时间状语,表示几个世纪,需要名词复数。century的复数为centuries。
【59题详解】
句意:人们用它制作椅子、篮子甚至是房子。由原文“People make chairs, baskets and even houses...it.”可知,空格位于houses和it之间,需要填介词。竹子在制作成椅子、篮子时,虽然经过了编织加工,但成品依然能明显看出是竹子,属于物理变化,因此使用make...of...结构,填of。
【60题详解】
句意:在一些村庄,竹笋是常见的食物,竹叶被用来包米糕。由原文“and the leaves...to wrap rice cakes”可知,空格处需填谓语,主语the leaves与use是被动关系,且为复数,一般现在时,用are used。
【61题详解】
句意:竹子对环境也有好处。由原文“Bamboo is also good...the environment.”可知,good后接介词,表示对……有好处,用be good for,因此填for。
【62题详解】
句意:它的根扎得又深又广,这使它成为保护土地的理想植物。由原文“...roots grow deep and wide”可知,空格修饰名词roots,表示它的根,用it的形容词性物主代词its,位于句首首字母大写,因此填Its。
【63题详解】
句意:它的根扎得又深又广,这使它成为保护土地的理想植物。由原文“which makes it a good plant for...the land”可知,for是介词,其后接动词时需用动名词形式,因此protect变为protecting。
【64题详解】
句意:他们说它坚固、轻便而且美丽。由原文“They say it is strong, light and...”可知,空格处与strong、light并列作表语,需要形容词。beauty的形容词为beautiful。
【65题详解】
句意:他们的一些椅子和台灯现在在欧洲销售。由原文“Some of...chairs and lamps are now sold in Europe.”可知,空格修饰名词chairs and lamps,表示他们的,用they的形容词性物主代词their。

The old man came to the hut every morning at six. He carried a wooden box of tools and a small chair, set them down in the corner and began to ____16____. Click, click, click. The sound was as regular as a clock.
I was twelve that summer, staying with my grandmother in the village. There was nothing much to do, so I often sat on the step and watched him. He was repairing a broken clock — one of more than sixty that filled the shelves of his hut.
“Where do they all come from?” I asked one day.
“People bring them,” he said without looking up. “Every clock has its own ____17____. Some are quick, some are slow. Some stop at night. You cannot ____18____ them all in the same way.”
I began to visit him every morning. First I only watched. Then he let me ____19____ the tiny screws. Later he taught me how to clean the gears with a soft brush. I was ____20____ at first and broke a spring. I thought he would be angry, but he only said, “Now you know how ____21____ a spring is.”
One afternoon a woman came in with a small clock. “It was my father’s,” she said. “It hasn’t worked for twenty years, but I can’t ____22____ it away.” The old man opened the back and looked inside for a long while. “It can be saved,” he said at last. The woman’s eyes lit up.
That evening I asked him ____23____ he didn't just throw the broken ones away. He put down his tools and said, “A clock is not only a machine. It ____24____ somebody’s time. When a person brings a clock to me, he is not asking me to fix a machine. He is asking me to give back a piece of his ____25____.”
I left the village at the end of August. Before I got on the bus, the old man gave me a small alarm clock. “It still works,” he said. “But it is a little slow — five minutes a day. You will have to ____26____ it every week.”
The clock stands on my desk now. Every morning it rings five minutes late, and I smile. It has taught me something that no textbook could: ____27____ things take time, and so do people. When something is ____28____, don't be too quick to throw it away. Give it a little more time, and give it a little more ____29____.

Borrow, Don’t Buy—The Tool Library on Red Stone Street
Need a drill (电钻) for one small job? Need a tent for one weekend? Don’t buy it. Borrow it.
How it works
· Join for 30 yuan a year. Then borrow any tool you need.
· Each tool can be kept for 7 days. If you need it longer, call us and we will keep it for you.

The Girl Who Painted the Wind
Nobody in Class 3 could remember when Duo Duo started drawing on the last page of her notebooks. She never showed her pictures to anyone. During breaks, while others ran to the playground, she stayed at her desk with a pencil.
Her art teacher, Mr. Gao, once looked over her shoulder. “What is this?” he asked.
“The wind,” said Duo Duo. Mr. Gao looked again. The page was covered with long, thin lines, some dark, some light, curling around a tree. She painted things nobody could see.
“You should enter the city art competition,” he said. The theme was Our School. Duo Duo shook her head. “Everyone will draw the building,” she said. “And mine doesn’t look like anything.”
But she entered. On the day of the judging (评审), more than two hundred pictures were hung in the hall: buildings, flagpoles, basketball courts. Duo Duo’s picture was small and pale, and at first nobody stopped in front of it.
Then an old judge came back to it for the third time. “What is this?” he asked the girl standing nearby.
“The wind in the trees behind our school,” she said quietly. “In spring it is warm and slow. In winter it is cold and fast. I drew the winter one.”
The judge was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Everyone here has drawn what the school looks like. You have drawn what the school feels like.”
Duo Duo’s picture won second prize. More important, the school asked her to paint a large picture for the library wall. It is still there: thin lines curling around a tree, and, if you look closely, a small girl sitting under it with a pencil in her hand.
36. What did Duo Duo usually do during breaks?
A. She ran to the playground. B. She stayed at her desk and drew.
C. She read books in the library. D. She practised painting with Mr. Gao.
37. Why did Duo Duo shake her head at first?
A. She had no time to take part. B. She was afraid of the judges.
C. She did not like the theme of the competition. D. She thought her picture did not look like anything.
38. What did the old judge think of Duo Duo’s picture?
A. It was too small to see. B. It was the same as the other pictures.
C. It showed what the school felt like. D. It was not finished.
(C)
Why Do We Yawn?
You are sitting in class. The teacher is talking about something important. Suddenly your mouth opens wide, your eyes close, and you let out a long breath. You have yawned (打哈欠) — and now the person beside you is yawning too.
For a long time, people believed that we yawn because our bodies need more oxygen. But studies have not supported this idea. When scientists gave people more oxygen, they did not yawn less.
A newer idea is that yawning helps cool the brain. The brain works best when it is slightly cooler than the rest of the body. When we are tired or have been thinking hard, the brain gets warmer. A deep yawn pulls cool air into the mouth and brings blood to the head, which may help the brain cool down. This may be why we yawn more when we are tired, and why we yawn less in cold weather.
Why is yawning contagious (有传染性的)? If you see someone yawn, you may yawn too. Scientists think this has something to do with empathy — the ability to understand how others feel. In one study, children who were better at understanding other people's feelings yawned more often when they saw someone else yawn. Yawning may be a quiet way of saying, “I am like you.”
So the next time you yawn in class, don't feel bad. Your brain may simply be trying to wake up. And if the whole class starts yawning, you can tell your teacher that you are all being very friendly.
39. What did people once think caused yawning?
A. A need for more oxygen. B. A need for more sleep.
C. A drop in body temperature. D. A wish to be friendly.
40. According to the newer idea, yawning may ________.
A. make the brain warmer B. slow down the heart
C. help us breathe more slowly D. help the brain cool down
41. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean?
A. Happening only at night. B. Spreading from person to person.
C. Lasting for a long time. D. Making people feel tired.
(D)
Should School Start Later?
In many middle schools, the first class begins at 7:50. Students often get up before six to catch the bus. Is this too early? Some schools in other countries have moved their start time to 8:30, and the results have been surprising.
Doctors say that a teenager needs around nine hours of sleep each night. But during the teenage years, the body’s clock naturally moves later: most teenagers cannot fall asleep before eleven, even if they go to bed early. If they must get up at six, they lose two hours of sleep every night. Tired students find it hard to pay attention, and they catch colds more easily.
In one city, several schools started at 8:30 for a year. Students slept almost an hour more each night. Teachers reported that students were more awake in the morning, and the number of students who arrived late dropped by a quarter. Grades in the first class improved.
Not everyone agrees, though. Many parents leave for work at seven and cannot take their children to school later. Buses are shared by several schools, so changing one school’s time affects all of them. Sports teams also need time after school, and a later start means a later finish.
Perhaps the answer is not a simple yes or no. Some schools have kept the early start but moved difficult subjects to the afternoon, when students are more awake. Others open the library and playground early so that students who arrive early have a quiet place to sit. Small changes like these may help as much as a big one.
42. How long should teenagers sleep each night according to doctors?
A. Seven hours. B. Eight hours. C. Nine hours. D. Eleven hours.
43. What happened in the schools that started at 8:30?
A. Fewer students were late. B. Students slept less than before.
C. Grades in every subject went down. D. Teachers had more work to do.
44. Why do some people disagree with a later start?
A. Students would have no time for sports at all. B. Many parents leave for work at seven.
C. Schools would need to buy more buses. D. Teenagers would go to bed even later.
45. What do some schools do to help students who arrive early?
A. They open the library and playground early. B. They give them an extra class.
C. They send them home again. D. They ask them to wait outside the gate.
四、阅读表达(本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,根据各题要求作答。
Every Saturday morning, 13-year-old Liu Yichen puts on a blue apron (围裙) and stands behind a small table at the entrance of the community centre. On the table there are three big boxes: one for old batteries, one for broken chargers, and one for used bulbs (灯泡).
Liu started this “little box” project two years ago. One day he read that a single battery can pollute a whole swimming pool of water. He looked around his home and found a drawer full of dead batteries. “We threw them into the rubbish bin without thinking,” he says. “I wanted to do something.”
At first, only a few neighbours came. Liu made a small sign with the words “Old batteries can be dangerous, but they can also be useful”. He also drew a simple picture showing what happens when batteries get into the soil. Slowly, more people stopped by. Last month, he collected 1,200 batteries, and a recycling company took them away for free.
The project has changed more than the rubbish. Liu’s father now keeps old batteries in a jar instead of throwing them away. A neighbour who once said “One boy can’t change anything” now helps Liu every Saturday.
“I’m not saving the world,” Liu says with a smile. “I’m just making one small corner of it a little cleaner. If every street had a boy like me, that would be a lot of corners.”
46. Every Saturday morning, Liu Yichen works at the entrance of the ________ _________.
