B
In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Do you want to know why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are very delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. That is not because locusts are good jumpers or runners. Is that because they are smarter than their enemies (天敌)? The answer is “no”. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. Their enemies can’t see them easily. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the dark and wet soil. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (喷洒), its enemies find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time, the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
26. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because ________.
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high
C. locusts are smarter than birds D. locusts can change their colors
27. According to the passage, most soil insects ________.
A. do not have bright colors B. change their colors with the soil
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment D. eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
28. What is the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in paragraph 3?
A. Change colors. B. Become stronger. C. Look for food. D. Continue to live.
29. In order not to make its enemies see it, the ink fish ________.
A. changes its color to black B. makes the water around it black
C. spreads sea water over D. hides itself deeply in the sea rocks
30. What is the best title for the passage?

A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university (大学). Students often use this time to travel, work or learn new skills. ____31____
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but are less popular in America. ____32____ The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows:
Learn about the World and Yourself
Although you don’t have to go abroad (国外) to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. ____33____ You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
Face Challenges and Have Fun
____34____ Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process (过程) isn’t always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
Save Money and Improve Your University Admission Chances
There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it’s not true. ____35____ Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in university. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
A. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money.
B. It can give young people useful experiences.
C. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons.
D. A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges.
E. However, more and more American students are preparing for university by taking a gap year these years.
F. Because they don’t have any activities to take part in during the gap years.
四、回答问题(本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,回答短文后面的各个小题。
Joking can be a cheerful thing. However, sometimes people may see it differently. Some people may get hurt if there are too many jokes. When you show you can’t accept the jokes, the jokes might get worse.
We should think about the relationships when joking. Close friends usually enjoy teasing (开玩笑). Healthy teasing can usually make people relaxed. When both sides know it’s just joking, they can understand each other better. The environment is also important for close relationships. It doesn’t matter when your sister calls your nickname (绰号) at home. However, it’s quite bad when a classmate shouts it out at school.
When making a joke, we often see the funny side of it. But others may see it in a different way. Sometimes we forget that the other person may not find it funny. People have different life experiences, so they understand jokes differently. For example, imagine someone not swimming at a pool party. Others might tease him or her about being unable to swim. But maybe that person is just afraid of water. Keep in mind that people may have their own reasons for not seeing the funny side.
It’s a good way to build good friendships by respecting others. In daily life, we should pay attention to our words when playing jokes.
36. What may happen if there are too many jokes?
_________________________________________________________________
37. How do people usually feel about healthy teasing?
_________________________________________________________________
38. What is also important for close relationships?

When当……时;After在……之后;Since自从。根据句子的后半部分“he has dreamed”使用了现在完成时,表示从过去某个时间点开始并持续到现在的动作或状态,因此“Since”最符合语境,表示从10岁起一直到现在。故选C。

quick快的,形容词;quickly快速地,副词;quickness快速,名词。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词“finishes”,表示他完成作业的方式。故选B。

【7题详解】

or或者/否则;and并且;but但是。前一句说同学们嘲笑他,后一句说杰克没有放弃,两者之间是转折关系,所以用“but”。故选C。
【8题详解】
句意:他尽他最大的努力打好比赛。
he他,主格;his他的,名词性物主代词/形容词性物主代词;him他,宾格。“try one’s best”是固定搭配,所以填形容词性物主代词。故选B。

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Do you want to know why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are very delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. That is not because locusts are good jumpers or runners. Is that because they are smarter than their enemies (天敌)? The answer is “no”. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. Their enemies can’t see them easily. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the dark and wet soil. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一些动物如何利用颜色来保护自己。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Locusts (蝗虫) are very delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. ...The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops.”可知,鸟类不易捉住昆虫是因为它们能够随着庄稼的颜色而改变它们自身的颜色。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the dark and wet soil.”可知,生活在土壤里面的昆虫没有明亮的颜色。故选A。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night.”可知,与植物颜色不同的昆虫很容易被发现和吃掉,为了生存,他们不得不在白天躲起来,只在晚上出来。所以,这里“survive”意为“生存”。选项D“继续活下去”符合题意。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (喷洒), its enemies find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time, the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.”可知,墨鱼在遇到危险时,通过喷洒墨水,使周围的水变黑,让敌人看不到自己,从而逃跑。故选B。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。文章主要介绍一些动物依靠自身颜色来保护自己的生存方式。选项C“色彩如何保护动物”符合题意。故选C。
配对阅读。阅读下面文段,从所给的选项中选出能填入文段空白处的最佳选项(六选五,其中一项为多余选项。)
A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university (大学). Students often use this time to travel, work or learn new skills. ____31____
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but are less popular in America. ____32____ The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows:
Learn about the World and Yourself
Although you don’t have to go abroad (国外) to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. ____33____ You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
Face Challenges and Have Fun
____34____ Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process (过程) isn’t always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
Save Money and Improve Your University Admission Chances
There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it’s not true. ____35____ Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in university. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
A. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money.
B. It can give young people useful experiences.
C. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons.
D. A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges.
E. However, more and more American students are preparing for university by taking a gap year these years.
F. Because they don’t have any activities to take part in during the gap years.
【答案】31. B 32. E 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了间隔年,并从认识自我、迎接挑战、省钱和提升录取机会三个方面说明了它的好处。
【31题详解】
前文介绍了间隔年的定义,说明学生利用这段时间旅行、工作或者学习新技能。B项“It can give young people useful experiences.”承接上文,介绍间隔年带来的好处,衔接自然。
【32题详解】
前文提到间隔年在欧洲和澳洲学生中很流行,但在美国没那么流行。E项“However, more and more American students are preparing for university by taking a gap year these years.”用however转折,说明如今越来越多美国学生选择间隔年,逻辑通顺。
【33题详解】
前文说大部分间隔年学生抓住机会出国旅行,能够认清自我。C项“The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons.”承接出国旅行,讲不同文化体验带来收获,和后文了解世界、认识自己呼应。
【34题详解】
本段小标题是Face Challenges and Have Fun。D项“A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges.”贴合小标题,引出下文学生做工作、志愿项目迎接挑战的内容。
【35题详解】
前文说大家普遍认为间隔年只适合富家子弟,但这不是真的。A项“Actually, taking a gap year can save your money.”纠正这个看法,引出下文学生做兼职赚钱的内容。
四、回答问题(本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,回答短文后面的各个小题。
Joking can be a cheerful thing. However, sometimes people may see it differently. Some people may get hurt if there are too many jokes. When you show you can’t accept the jokes, the jokes might get worse.
We should think about the relationships when joking. Close friends usually enjoy teasing (开玩笑). Healthy teasing can usually make people relaxed. When both sides know it’s just joking, they can understand each other better. The environment is also important for close relationships. It doesn’t matter when your sister calls your nickname (绰号) at home. However, it’s quite bad when a classmate shouts it out at school.
When making a joke, we often see the funny side of it. But others may see it in a different way. Sometimes we forget that the other person may not find it funny. People have different life experiences, so they understand jokes differently. For example, imagine someone not swimming at a pool party. Others might tease him or her about being unable to swim. But maybe that person is just afraid of water. Keep in mind that people may have their own reasons for not seeing the funny side.
It’s a good way to build good friendships by respecting others. In daily life, we should pay attention to our words when playing jokes.
36. What may happen if there are too many jokes?
_________________________________________________________________
37. How do people usually feel about healthy teasing?
_________________________________________________________________
38. What is also important for close relationships?
_________________________________________________________________

【答案】36. Some people may get hurt.
37. They usually feel relaxed.

【解析】
【导语】本文围绕“开玩笑”这一话题展开,讨论了玩笑的两面性,强调了尊重他人、注意场合与关系的重要性,也解释了人们对玩笑的理解存在差异的原因。
【36题详解】
根据原文第一段“Some people may get hurt if there are too many jokes.”可知,如果玩笑太多,有些人可能会受到伤害。
【37题详解】
根据原文第二段“Healthy teasing can usually make people relaxed.”可知,人们通常会觉得健康的玩笑能让他们感到放松。
【38题详解】
根据原文第二段“The environment is also important for close relationships.”可知,环境对亲密关系也很重要。
【39题详解】
根据原文第三段“People have different life experiences, so they understand jokes differently.”可知,人们有不同的生活经历,所以对玩笑的理解不同。
【40题详解】
根据原文第四段“It’s a good way to build good friendships by respecting others.”可知,尊重他人是建立良好关系的好方法。
