The wind moves the sand around, making the hills look different over time. During the day, the Sahara can be the ____5____ place in the world. One day in 1924, its surface was up to 58℃—showing just how extreme the conditions can get. At night, however, the temperature might drop ____6____ zero degrees. So it’s hard for living things to ____7____ the terrible conditions. Not many big ____8____ can live in the desert. The camel is the best known, and there is also a kind of gazelle (瞪羚). These animals can live for a long time ____9____ water. Their natural abilities help them live in this environment. There are also people living in the desert, called Bedouins. They move from place to place. They know how to use the desert’s resources ____10____ like finding hidden water. 1. A. usual B. natural C. common 2. A. sea B. lake C. desert 3. A. changes B. accidents C. problems 4. A. stops B. keeps C. avoids 5. A. coldest B. hottest C. wettest 6. A. below B. above C. low 7. A. explore B. risk C. survive 8. A. animals B. plants C. viruses 9. A. with B. without C. below 10. A. successfully B. simply C. wisely 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 8. A 9. B 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了世界上最大、最不寻常的沙漠之一——撒哈拉沙漠的概况，包括其地貌特征、极端的气候条件，以及沙漠中动植物和贝都因人的生存智慧。 【1题详解】 句意：它的表面被沙子覆盖，这使它成为一个自然奇观。 沙漠是自然界的一部分，因此被称为“自然”奇观，natural“自然的”符合语境。usual“通常的”、common“常见的”均不能体现其独特性。 【2题详解】 句意：许多人认为它一直是一片沙漠，但他们错了。 人们认为撒哈拉一直是一片“沙漠”，desert“沙漠”符合语境。sea“海洋”、lake“湖泊”均与撒哈拉的实际地貌不符。 【3题详解】 句意：环境中的这些变化花费了数百万年。 后文说“The wind moves the sand around, making the hills look different over time”，说明是环境发生的“变化”，changes“变化”符合语境。accidents“事故”、problems“问题”均与地貌演变不符。 【4题详解】 句意：如今，这片沙漠仍在持续变化。 后文提到风移动沙子改变了山丘的外观，说明沙漠“保持”着变化的状态，keeps“保持，继续”符合语境。stops“停止”、avoids“避免”均与沙漠持续变化的事实矛盾。 【5题详解】 句意：在白天，撒哈拉可能是世界上最热的地方。 后文提到“its surface was up to 58℃”，说明白天非常“热”，hottest“最热的”符合语境。coldest“最冷的”、wettest“最湿的”均与高温数据不符。 【6题详解】 句意：然而，到了晚上，温度可能会降到零度以下。 沙漠昼夜温差大，晚上温度降至零度“以下”，below“在……以下”符合语境。above“在……以上”、low“低的”均不能准确表达温度跌破零度的含义。 【7题详解】 句意：因此，生物很难在如此恶劣的条件下生存。 由于白天极热、夜晚极冷，生物要想“生存”是很困难的，survive“生存”符合语境。explore“探索”、risk“冒险”均与生物的生存本能不符。 【8题详解】 句意：没有多少大型动物能在沙漠中生存。 后文列举了“The camel... and there is also a kind of deer”，说明此处谈论的是“动物”，animals“动物”符合语境。plants“植物”、viruses“病毒”均与骆驼和鹿的举例不符。 【9题详解】 句意：这些动物可以在没有水的情况下存活很长时间。 骆驼被称为“沙漠之舟”，能够在“没有”水的条件下长时间生存，without“没有”符合语境。with“带有”、below“在……以下”均与沙漠缺水环境矛盾。 【10题详解】 句意：他们知道如何明智地利用沙漠资源，比如寻找隐藏的水源。 贝都因人能在极端环境中生存，说明他们能“明智地”利用资源，wisely“明智地”符合语境。successfully“成功地”强调结果，simply“仅仅”均与语境不符。 二、补全对话 阅读下列对话，从选项中选取恰当的句子完成对话，其中有两个多余选项。 A: Hi, Lily! I saw your travel photos online. They’re incredible! B: Thanks! I just visited a famous natural wonder last week. A: ____11____ B: I went to the Grand Canyon in the United States. A: Wow!

C. What’s the best time to visit it? D. I’m sure you will get the chance soon. E. Which natural wonder did you visit? F. How do you feel when you see it in real life? 【答案】11. E 12. F 13. C 14. D 【解析】 【导语】本段对话为A夸赞Lily的旅行照片，Lily说去了美国科罗拉多大峡谷，A询问相关情况，Lily推荐日出时分游览，并祝愿A以后有机会去。 【11题详解】 根据下文B的回答“I went to the Grand Canyon in the United States.”可知，此处是询问对方参观了哪一处自然奇观，对应选项E。 【12题详解】 根据下文B的回应“It’s even more amazing in person!”可知，此处是询问对方亲眼见到实景的感受，对应选项F。 【13题详解】 根据下文B的回答“I’d recommend going at sunrise.”可知，此处是询问游览的最佳时间，对应选项C。 【14题详解】 根据上文A说“I really want to see it for myself someday.”可知，此处是对A的期许给予鼓励，对应选项D。 三、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。(每小题2分，满分10分) C Have you ever been to Baiyun Mountain? Do you know where it is? Many visitors love to refresh themselves in its natural beauty every year. Baiyun Mountain lies in southern Song County, Luoyang and belongs to the Funiu Mountain Ridge. It covers a total area of 168 square kilometres (about 64.9 square miles). There are 204 types of animals, 1,991 types of plants and 3,000 types of insects in the mountain. At 2,150 metres (about 7,054 feet) above sea level, White Cloud, the peak of Baiyun Mountain, is one of the main peaks of the Funiu Mountain Ridge. The clouds crowd around it, making it like a fairyland on earth. It’s said that the peak can tell weather changes by the position of the clouds around the peak. The peak is a perfect place for mountain climbers to search for novelty. Little Huangshan Mountain is so named because it brings to mind the famous Mount Huangshan in Anhui Province, which is famous for its strange rocks. The beauty and strangeness of Little Huangshan Mountain are amazing. Different rock styles have been given interesting names such as Couple Stones and Bird’s Nest Stone. The waterfalls are formed by the Baihe River which starts from Yuhuangding Peak. With enough water, it runs downwards and makes waterfalls and deep pools. The Jiulong Waterfall, Qinglong Waterfall, and the Heilong Pool are some of the pleasant sights in this area. 15. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story. 16. Which paragraphs describe (描述) the total area and peak? (①=Paragraph 1, ...) A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ④⑤ 17.

C 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了洛阳白云山的地理位置、面积、山峰、岩石景观和瀑布等自然风光。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever been to Baiyun Mountain? Do you know where it is? Many visitors love to refresh themselves in its natural beauty every year.”可知，作者通过连续提出两个问题引入话题，引发读者思考。故选A。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It covers a total area of 168 square kilometres…”可知第二段介绍了总面积；根据第三段“At 2,150 metres…White Cloud, the peak of Baiyun Mountain…”可知第三段介绍了主峰。故对应段落为②③。故选B。 【17题详解】 段落主旨题。根据最后一段“The waterfalls are formed by the Baihe River…The Jiulong Waterfall, Qinglong Waterfall, and the Heilong Pool are some of the pleasant sights…”可知，本段主要介绍了白云山的瀑布群和水潭景观。故选C。 【18题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段通过提问引出白云山；第二段总体介绍面积、动植物等；第三至五段分别具体介绍主峰、小黄山、瀑布三大特色景点，属于“总—分”结构，且分述部分为并列关系。符合①总述，②总述/背景，③④⑤分述的结构。故选C。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章围绕白云山的地理位置、山峰、岩石、瀑布等自然景观展开描述，未涉及科技、文化或教育话题。故选D。 四、阅读还原 阅读短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 The Yangtze River is the longest river in China and the third longest river in the world. _____20_____ It is about 6,300 kilometres long.

Sanfu usually starts in mid-July and ends in mid-August. It has three parts — Chufu, Zhongfu, and Mofu, each about 10 days long. People have special ways to stay healthy during these hot days. One way is using Sanfutie. It is a special bandage made from Chinese herbs (中草药). People usually put it on the back and neck. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine think it helps with coughs, asthma and arthritis (哮喘和关节炎). It’s a good way to treat winter illnesses in summer. When it’s really hot during Chufu, people don’t feel like eating much. But jiaozi can make them excited about food! Actually, jiaozi is an all-time classic, with 2,000 years of history. During Zhong fu, people often eat noodles. They can help people sweat (出汗) and cool down inside. Many noodle restaurants sell more noodles and even offer new dishes during this time. When Mofu comes, it starts to get a bit cooler. Eating noodles while sweating a lot can make it easy for people to get cold. So people, especially those living in North China, like to eat egg pancakes to keep healthy. In some places like Changsha in Hunan Province, people eat chicken during Chufu. They believe it can help clear the damp (湿气). In Southern Shandong, people drink mutton soup during Sanfu. They believe mutton, which is hot by nature, can help drive away the cold inside the body. Isn’t it fun to learn how Chinese people stay healthy during Sanfu? Try these ways with your family! Sanfu: the Hottest Days of the Year Sanfu usually lasts (持续) about ____25____ days. Special ways to ____26____ during Sanfu Using Sanfutie: a Chinese herbal bandage to deal with ____27____ in summer Eating right foods: Chufu: jiaozi ... Zhongfu: noodles... Mofu: egg pancakes... Food traditions during Sanfu are ____28____ between the north and the south in China. What do your family usually do during Sanfu? ________________29________________ 【答案】25. thirty##30 26. stay healthy 27. winter illnesses 28. different 29. We usually eat watermelons and go swimming./… 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了三伏天的时间、特点以及中国人通过贴三伏贴和吃不同食物来保持健康的传统习俗。 【25题详解】 第一段中“It has three parts — Chufu, Zhongfu, and Mofu, each about 10 days long.”说明，三伏天约持续30天。答案是原文信息。 【26题详解】 第一段中“People have special ways to stay healthy during these hot days.”说明，这些方法是为了保持健康。答案是原文信息。 【27题详解】 第二段中“It’s a good way to treat winter illnesses in summer.”说明，三伏贴用于治疗冬季疾病。答案是原文信息。 【28题详解】 第三、四段中提及北方末伏吃鸡蛋饼，南方长沙吃鸡肉、鲁南喝羊肉汤，可知南北三伏天的饮食传统存在差异。 【29题详解】 开放性试题，回答合理即可。 六、完成句子 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。(每小题2分，满分10分) 30. A: _______________? B: It’s Mount Qomolangma! 【答案】What is the highest mountain in the world/What is this/What is it 【解析】 【详解】答句回答的是事物名称（珠穆朗玛峰），因此问句应是询问“这是什么/它是什么/世界上最高的山峰是什么”这类问题，核心疑问词为What，符合语境的问法包括：What is the highest mountain in the world/What is this/What is it。 31. A: _______________________________________? B: It’s 8848.86 meters high. 【答案】How high is Qomolangma 【解析】 【详解】答句介绍的是珠穆朗玛峰的高度，因此，问句是询问珠穆朗玛峰的高度，询问高度应用特殊疑问词组How high，故How high is Qomolangma符合语境。 32. A: What’s the lowest point on earth? B: ______________________________________________________________. 【答案】 It’s the Dead Sea 【解析】 【详解】A询问“地球上最低的地方是什么”，根据常识，可知应回答“死海”。“死海”是专有名词，表达为the Dead Sea，注意首字母大写。 33. A:What are deep-sea animals like? B: ______________________________________________________________. 【答案】 They are very strange 【解析】 【详解】句意：A：深海动物是什么样的？B：它们非常奇怪。特殊疑问句“What be+主语+like?”用于询问某人或某物的特征、性质或外貌。问句主语“deep-sea animals”是复数，故答语主语用代词“They”，be动词用are，后接形容词作表语。根据常识及初中英语常见话题，深海动物常被描述为“奇怪的”(strange)。故填They are very strange. 34. A:How was your trip? B:____________________________________________. 【答案】It was great!/It was wonderful./It was OK./It was fine./It was terrible./It wasn’t very good. 【解析】 【详解】问句是询问旅行的感受，回答时需要用评价性的句子，常见的正面或负面回答都可以，故It was great!/It was wonderful./It was OK./It was fine./It was terrible./It wasn’t very good.都符合语境。 七、看图写句 根据所给图片和提示词写出正确句式表达。 35. high, world ___________________________________________________________________________________ 36. big,world ___________________________________________________________________________________ 37. long,world ___________________________________________________________________________________ 38. second ___________________________________________________________________________________ 39. in 1975 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 40. locate ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】35.

Although##Though 48. themselves 49. successfully 50. achievement 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍中国的国土概况、濒危动物、长城以及珠穆朗玛峰，展现中国的自然与人文特色。 【41题详解】 句意：据我所知，面积960万平方公里的中国拥有亚洲第二多的人口。依据原文“has the…largest population in Asia”，句中存在范围限定“in Asia”，是在亚洲范围内做排序，定冠词the后接序数词表达排名，two对应的序数词是second。 【42题详解】 句意：这份清单包括生活在海洋里的巨型鲸鱼、“沙漠之舟”骆驼等等。依据原文“The list…the huge whales living in the sea…”，上文刚提到中国有许多濒危动物，本句承接上文，说明清单的内容；主语The list为单数概念，全文主体时态为一般现在时，谓语动词要使用第三人称单数形式，include变形为includes。 【43题详解】 句意：游览的乐趣每年吸引很多外国游客来中国游玩。依据原文“attracts many foreign…to visit China every year”，前文介绍了中国多样的动植物资源，引出旅游吸引力；形容词foreign修饰名词，many提示此处要用可数名词复数，travel转化为表示“游客”的名词，复数形式是travelers或travellers。 【44题详解】 句意：当你进行一次旅行的时候，你会发现很多著名的地方，例如长城，世界上最长的人造城墙。依据原文“When you have…tour”，本句承接上一句游客来华旅游的语境，引出游览途中可以见到的名胜；固定搭配have a tour表示“旅行”，tour是以辅音音素开头的单数名词，用不定冠词a。 【45题详解】 句意：它是世界上最伟大的奇观之一。依据原文“It’s one of the greatest…in the world”，本句继续介绍长城，在全世界范围内评价长城；固定结构one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数，表示“最……之一”，wonder的复数形式是wonders。 【46题详解】 句意：它是世界上最高的山峰。依据原文“It is the…mountain in the world”，本句开启新的段落，转而去介绍另一处世界级景观珠穆朗玛峰，“in the world”划定比较范围，在全世界所有山峰里对比，要用形容词最高级，high的最高级是highest。 【47题详解】 句意：虽然在严寒的环境下，山顶附近很难吸入空气，但是很多人依旧想要在困难面前挑战自我。依据原文“…it’s hard to take in air near the top in the freezing weather conditions, many people still want to challenge…”，前半句讲述登顶珠峰客观上存在巨大困难，后半句说人们依然愿意尝试，前后语义形成让步转折关系，用连词Although或者Though引导让步状语从句。 【48题详解】 句意：虽然在严寒的环境下，山顶附近很难吸入空气，但是很多人依旧想要在困难面前挑战自我。依据原文“many people still want to challenge…in the face of difficulties”，结合语境，人们登山是挑战自己，challenge oneself是固定表达“挑战自我”，主语many people是复数，对应的反身代词是themselves。 【49题详解】 句意：一些人成功登顶，实现了他们的梦想。依据原文“Some reached the top…and achieved their dreams”，本句承接上文人们勇于挑战的内容，讲述部分登山者取得的结果；修饰动词短语reached the top，需要使用副词，successful对应的副词形式是successfully。 【50题详解】 句意：攀登珠穆朗玛峰对他们来说是一项伟大的成就。依据原文“Climbing Qomolangma is a great…for them”，本句对前面登顶这件事做总结评价，形容词great后面接名词，achieve对应的名词形式是achievement。 九、短文写作(满分15分) 51. 为推广家乡文旅资源，校英语公众号特设“Beautiful China”专栏，现面向全体同学征集青海湖旅游宣传短文。请你以此为主题，写一篇英文广告向海内外游客介绍青海湖，学校公众号将会推送你的作品。内容要点： 1. 包含青海湖核心信息(咸水湖、位置、面积、中国最大湖) 2. 列出至少2项可体验活动 3. 突出独特卖点，有说服力 注意事项： 1.词数80–100词; 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯; 3.文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Welcome to Qinghai Lake, a shining pearl in China!

Sanfu usually starts in mid-July and ends in mid-August. It has three parts — Chufu, Zhongfu, and Mofu, each about 10 days long. People have special ways to stay healthy during these hot days. One way is using Sanfutie. It is a special bandage made from Chinese herbs (中草药). People usually put it on the back and neck. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine think it helps with coughs, asthma and arthritis (哮喘和关节炎). It’s a good way to treat winter illnesses in summer. When it’s really hot during Chufu, people don’t feel like eating much. But jiaozi can make them excited about food! Actually, jiaozi is an all-time classic, with 2,000 years of history. During Zhong fu, people often eat noodles. They can help people sweat (出汗) and cool down inside. Many noodle restaurants sell more noodles and even offer new dishes during this time.

So people, especially those living in North China, like to eat egg pancakes to keep healthy. In some places like Changsha in Hunan Province, people eat chicken during Chufu. They believe it can help clear the damp (湿气). In Southern Shandong, people drink mutton soup during Sanfu. They believe mutton, which is hot by nature, can help drive away the cold inside the body.
