A. possible B. active C. important D. complete 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：哪个单词通过添加前缀“-un”可以形成一个新单词？ possible可能的，加前缀im-→impossible不可能的；active积极的，否定前缀是in-→inactive；important重要的，否定前缀是un-→unimportant；complete完整的，否定前缀是in-→incomplete。选项中只有important加un-前缀可以形成新单词unimportant“不重要的”。 2. It’s ________ of him to admit his mistakes bravely instead of making up excuses. A. generous B. honest C. helpful D. polite 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他敢于承认错误而不是编造借口，他很诚实。 generous慷慨的；honest诚实的；helpful乐于助人的；polite有礼貌的。根据“admit his mistakes bravely instead of making up excuses”可知，敢于认错不编造借口是诚实的表现，honest符合语境。 3. —I don’t know how to use the washing machine. —Don’t worry. Just read and follow the ________. A. invitation B. instructions C. importance D. invention 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不知道怎么用洗衣机。——别担心，阅读并跟着说明书操作。 invitation邀请；instructions说明，说明书；importance重要性；invention发明。结合语境，不知道使用家电的正确方式时，需要遵循的是产品的操作说明，只有B项符合语境逻辑。 4. —The ticket to the World Park is ________ now. Why do you still keep it? —I had a great time there. When I see it, I think of the happy hours. A. endless B. helpless C. hopeless D. useless 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——世界公园的门票现在没用了。你为什么还留着它？——我在那里度过了美好的时光。当我看到它时，就会想起那些快乐的时光。 endless无尽的；helpless无助的；hopeless无希望的；useless没用的。根据“Why do you still keep it?”可知，门票通常在使用后失去实际效用，对方质疑为何保留无用的物品，useless符合语境。 5. —Which moves ________, a turtle, a snail or an ant? —Well, it’s hard to tell. A. slower B. more slowly C. slowest D. most slowly 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——乌龟、蜗牛和蚂蚁，哪个移动得最慢？——嗯，很难说。 slowly副词，最高级most slowly。slower、more slowly是比较级；slowest是形容词最高级，不能修饰动词moves。三者（乌龟、蜗牛、蚂蚁）比较，要用副词最高级。故选D。 6. To protect the environment, we should produce ________ waste and not use plastic bags in daily life. A. fewer B. less C. few D. little 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了保护环境，我们应该产生更少的垃圾，并且日常生活中不使用塑料袋。 waste是不可数名词，可直接排除修饰可数名词的A选项“fewer”与C选项“few”；此处暗含和过去的行为作对比，表达“更少的垃圾”的含义，要用比较级less。 7. The plan sounds great, but it may go ________ the rules of the competition, so we have to check it carefully. A. against B. forward C. through D. across 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个计划听起来很好，但它可能违反比赛规则，所以我们必须仔细核查。 go against违反；go forward前进；go through穿过，经历；go across横穿。此处表达计划可能违背比赛规则的含义，只有go against符合逻辑。 8. The local government will ________ drinking water and medicine for homeless families after the earthquake. A. offer B. return C. provide D. support 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：地震后，当地政府将为无家可归的家庭提供饮用水和药品。 offer主动提供，常用搭配为offer sth. to sb.或offer sb. sth.；return 返回、归还；provide提供，常用搭配为provide sth. for sb.或provide sb. with sth.；support支持、资助。根据空后“drinking water and medicine for homeless families”可知，应选provide，表示为无家可归的家庭提供饮用水和药品。 9. Not only the students but also their English teacher ________ interested in the speech competition yesterday. A. is B. was C. are D. were 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：不仅学生们，他们的英语老师昨天也对演讲比赛感兴趣。 根据“Not only...but also...”以及时间词yesterday可知，该结构遵循就近原则，靠近be动词的主语their English teacher是单数，yesterday表示过去，要用was。 10. In northern cities, most families ________ central heating (供暖) when decorating their houses because of the cold weather in winter. A. put on B. put up C. put in D. put out 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在北方城市，因为冬天寒冷，大多数家庭装修房子时会安装集中供暖。 put on穿上；put up张贴、搭建；put in安装；put out扑灭。根据“In northern cities”和“because of the cold weather in winter.”可知，选put in，表示装修房屋时添置安装供暖系统，符合语境逻辑。 11. —Don’t forget to bring your exercise book here, Lily. —________. I must remember to bring it here every time. A. Yes, I won’t B. Yes, I don’t C. No, I can’t D. OK, I won’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——莉莉，别忘了把你的练习本带到这儿来。——好的，我不会忘的。我一定会每次都记得把它带到这里。 Yes, I won’t搭配错误；Yes, I don’t是的，我没有；No, I can’t 不，我不能；OK, I won’t好的，我不会 。祈使句提醒“Don’t forget...”，对应答句“OK, I won’t.”，表达自己不会忘记带练习本。 12. The big fan of DIY taught ________ to make useful things by hand through reading countless books from booksellers around the city. A. him B. his C. himself D. he 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个DIY的超级粉丝通过阅读全市书商的大量书籍，自学了手工制作有用的东西。 him他（宾格）；his他的（物主代词）；himself他自己（反身代词）；he他（主格）。 根据固定搭配“teach oneself to do sth.”意为“自学做某事”可知，此处应用反身代词。结合句意，主语是“The big fan of DIY”，此处表示“自学”，应用himself。 13. The price of new energy vehicles (新能源车) is not ________ that of last year, so more people are going to buy them. A. as expensive as B. so cheap as C. as low as D. so high as 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：新能源车的价格没有去年那么高，所以更多人打算购买。 not as expensive as不如……贵；not so cheap as不如……便宜；not as low as不如……低；not so high as不如……高。描述价格的高低需用high或low，不能用expensive或cheap，可直接排除A、B选项；结合后半句“so more people are going to buy them.”可知，此处表达的是今年车价比去年低，也就是价格没有去年那么高，not so/as...as是原级比较的否定结构，意为“不如……”，此处搭配high符合语境逻辑。 14. You had better ________ your medicine, or you will feel worse. A. not forget to take B. forget to take C. not forget taking D. forget taking 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你最好别忘了吃药，不然你会感觉更难受。 根据后句“or you will feel worse”可知，这里是提醒不要忘记吃药，表示“忘记要去做某事（事情尚未做）”，用固定搭配forget to do sth.；had better not do sth.“最好不要做某事”，是固定结构。所以，选“not forget to take”，表示你最好别忘了吃药，符合语境语法。 15. —Shall we invite Tom to the painting show? He loves paintings a lot. —________. I’m sure he will have great fun. A. That sounds good B. You’re welcome C. It doesn’t matter D. That’s all 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 我们邀请汤姆去画展好吗？他很喜欢画作。——听起来不错。我相信他会玩得很开心。 That sounds good听起来不错；You’re welcome不客气；It doesn’t matter没关系；That’s all就这些。根据后文“I’m sure he will have great fun.”可知，答话人赞同对方提出的邀请汤姆的提议，应填That sounds good。 三、完形填空（10 分） This year is special for China’s world of math. It’s all because of one ____16____ woman—Wang Hong. Wang was born in 1991 in Guilin. Her parents were both middle school teachers. She showed an unusual ____17____ for math at an early age. When she was just five years old, she already completed first-grade math and went straight to second grade. Some people think talent makes life ____18____. But Wang’s path was far from smooth. In middle school, her grades were not good at first. But she didn’t lose heart. She tried her best and became one of the ____19____ students in her grade. At the age of sixteen, she entered Peking University and learned more about math. In 2011, Wang went to France for further study. “I felt a little ____20____ at that time,” the girl said. “I studied architecture (建筑) instead of math for six months.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述中国数学家王虹的成长故事。她凭借天赋、努力和热爱，解决百年难题，激励无数人，展现成功背后的秘诀。 【16题详解】 句意：这一切都是因为一位伟大的女性——王虹。 根据“This year is special”及下文她解决百年难题的成就，可知她是一位杰出伟大的女性。great“伟大的，了不起的”符合语境。honest“诚实的”；patient“有耐心的”；brave“勇敢的”无法概括其成就地位。 【17题详解】 句意：她很早就展现出非凡的数学天赋。 根据“five years old...completed first-grade math”可知这是天赋的表现，show a talent for表示“展现出在某方面的天赋”，talent“天赋”符合语境。need“需要”；love“热爱”；wish“愿望”不符合语境逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：有些人认为天赋让生活变得容易。 “But Wang’s path was far from smooth”此处构成转折，说明常人认为天赋让生活容易，easy“容易的”符合语境。busy“忙碌的”；quiet“安静的”；safe“安全的”无法构成转折。 【19题详解】 句意：她成为年级最好的学生之一。 根据“tried her best”及成绩从不好到好转，可知她成为了最好的学生之一，best“最好的”符合语境。warmest“最温暖的”；funniest“最有趣的”；kindest“最善良的”与学业成绩无关。 【20题详解】 句意：那时我感到有点迷茫。 根据学建筑而非数学及后文“doubted”怀疑自己，可知当时感觉迷茫，lost“迷茫的，迷失的”符合语境。curious“好奇的”；calm“冷静的”；lucky“幸运的”不符合当时困惑的心境。 【21题详解】 句意：我只怀疑我自己。 根据直接引语主语I，反身代词应用myself与之对应。herself“她自己”；ourselves“我们自己”；itself“它自己”人称不匹配。 【22题详解】 句意：王虹再次自信并回归数学。 根据前文改学建筑后又重学数学，可知是回归到数学领域，returned“回归，返回”符合语境。agreed“同意”；took“带走”；came“来到”无法表达回到原领域的含义。 【23题详解】 句意：王虹做了一些非常有意义的事。 根据“solved a century-old math problem”可知这件事意义重大，meaningful“有意义的”符合语境。thankful“感激的”；tasteful“雅致的”；hopeful“充满希望的”无法形容成就的重要性。 【24题详解】 句意：数学家们非常惊讶和兴奋。 根据解决难题及并列词excited“兴奋”，可知大家感到惊讶且高兴，surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。scared“害怕的”；relaxed“放松的”；worried“担忧的”情感色彩不符。 【25题详解】 句意：成功的秘诀。 根据“talent, hard work, and passion”及固定搭配“secrets to success”，可知是成功的秘诀，secrets“秘诀，秘密”符合语境，此处用复数secrets对应三个成功要素。problems“问题”；reasons“原因”；goals“目标”不符合语境。 四、阅读理解（30 分） A Do you know any special subjects at school? Now let’s have a look at them in some countries. My name is Frank. I’m from the UK. I have “Forest School” on Monday afternoon. Ms Brown takes us to the forest. We learn how to put up a tent and make a fire in the forest. On a family trip in the forest, I help my parents make a fire. I’m so happy. The class helps me a lot. Hi, I’m Gina. I am an American student. I have a folk dance class at school. It is on Wednesday morning. I think Ms Smith is a good teacher. She tells us about the history and culture of dancing. I like her very much. Hey, I’m Jack. I’m a 13-year-old boy from Australia. Our school has surfing classes. Surfing is fun. But not everyone can do it. Today is Wednesday, so we have the surfing class tomorrow morning. I study it for a long time. Now, I am good at it. Can you see the man in the picture? He is my teacher, Mr Green. 26. What does Frank think of “Forest School”? A. It’s exciting. B. It’s boring. C. It’s helpful. D. It’s relaxing. 27. Which of the following is true? A. Jack has a surfing class on Wednesday. B. Ms Brown is Mary’s surfing teacher. C. Frank is a student from America. D. Gina can learn about the history of dancing. 28. What does the underlined sentence “But not everyone can do it” mean? A. The surfing class is expensive. B. The surfing class is not easy. C. Some students don’t like the surfing class. D. Only a few students can take the surfing class. 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国、美国、澳大利亚三国学校开设的特殊课程，分别为森林学校课、民间舞蹈课与冲浪课，由三名学生分享了自己的课程体验与相关内容。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The class helps me a lot.”可知，Frank认为森林学校课程对自己很有帮助，因此他觉得这门课是有用的。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She tells us about the history and culture of dancing.”可知，Gina可以在民间舞蹈课上学习舞蹈的历史相关内容。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Surfing is fun. But not everyone can do it…I study it for a long time. Now, I am good at it.”可知，冲浪需要花费很长时间学习才能擅长，说明冲浪有难度，因此划线句的意思是冲浪课并不容易。 B How many languages do you know? Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!” or “That test was a killer.” Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. Usually, it is easy for beginners to be understood even if they mispronounce words, and you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 29. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A. Twenty. B. Twenty-three. C. Twenty-six. D. Twenty-nine. 30. Which of the following can you seldom see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A. abc B. bcd C. acd D. abd 31. What can we know from the passage? A. Swedish is easier to learn than English. B. A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. C. Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. D. Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了以英语为基础学习瑞典语的诸多便利条件，同时补充了瑞典人的语言表达、肢体语言相关的文化特点，说明学习瑞典语能够帮助人们更好地了解瑞典的文化、历史与风土人情。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet.”可知，瑞典语也使用罗马字母表，唯一的区别是瑞典语字母表末尾多了3个额外字母，常规罗马字母表共26个字母，加上新增的3个字母总计29个，因此瑞典语字母表有29个字母。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like ‘How sad you missed the bus!’ or ‘That test was a killer.’ Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon.（瑞典人不太情绪化，所以你不会听到瑞典人说出“你错过了公交多可惜啊！”或者“那场考试要命了”这类话，另外要注意不要随意触碰他人，因为肢体语言在瑞典并不常见）”可推知，b选项“老师和学生交谈时牵学生的手”属于不常见的肢体行为、c选项“乘客开玩笑说错过公交太可惜”、d选项“学生调侃数学考试的糟糕成绩”都属于瑞典很少见到或听到的情况，a选项文中未提及，因此选bcd。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land（你正在学习的这门语言，是帮助你了解这个优美的文化与国度的垫脚石）”可推知，学好瑞典语能够帮助学习者更好地理解瑞典文化。 C The little prince walked through a large garden full of roses. All of them looked exactly like his own flower. He felt very sad. “I thought my rose was the only one in the whole world,” he said to himself. “But there are five thousand of them, all the same, in just one garden.” He lay down in the grass and cried. Then a fox appeared. “Come and play with me,” the little prince said. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox answered. “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means ‘to create ties’,” the fox said. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you.” The fox went on. “You see the wheat fields over there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields say nothing to me. That is sad. But you have golden hair. Once you have tamed me, it will be wonderful. The wheat, which is golden, will bring me the thought of you. I will learn to love the sound of the wind in the wheat.” The fox looked carefully at the little prince. “Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will give you a secret as a gift.” The little prince went away to see the roses again. “You are not my rose,” he told them. “Nobody has tamed you, and you have tamed nobody. You are like my fox before I knew him. But my rose is more important than all of you, because it is her that I have watered, it is her that I have protected under the glass cover, it is for her that I have killed all the worms, it is her that I have listened to when she complained (抱怨) or talked proudly.” When he returned to the fox, the fox said, “Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What matters most is invisible (看不见的) to the eye.” —Adapted from The Little Prince 32. Why did the little prince cry when he saw so many roses? A. The roses were not beautiful enough. B. He found his rose was not the only one of its kind. C. The fox refused to play with him. D. He could not find his rose in the garden. 33. What does the underlined word “unique” mean in the passage? A. scary B. special C. lively D. dangerous 34. From the fox’s words, we can infer that true friendship mainly depends on ________. A. the same looks B. long talks C. special ties built together D. expensive gifts 35. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Secret about True Friendship B. A Garden of Beautiful Roses C. The Story of a Clever Fox D. The Sad Little Prince 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自《小王子》，讲述了小王子看到满园玫瑰后感到难过，狐狸告诉他“驯养”意味着建立羁绊，并揭示了“只有用心才能看清真正重要的东西”这一秘密。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He felt very sad. ‘I thought my rose was the only one in the whole world,’ he said to himself. ‘But there are five thousand of them, all the same, in just one garden.’”可知，小王子哭泣的原因是他原本以为自己的玫瑰是全世界独有的，却发现同类的玫瑰数量众多。对应B选项“He found his rose was not the only one of its kind.”。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you.”可知，未被驯养时小王子和狐狸都和其他同类没有区别，而驯养后彼此对对方而言不再是普通的存在，这里“unique”意为“特别的、独一无二的”，和special语义相近。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“What does ‘tame’ mean?‘ asked the little prince. It means ‘to create ties’, the fox said. ”可知，狐狸解释“驯养”的含义是“to create ties”，说明真正的友谊并非基于外表等外在条件，而是双方共同建立的特殊羁绊。对应C选项“special ties built together”。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，文章围绕狐狸向小王子阐释“驯养”的意义，最终揭示关于友谊的核心秘密展开。A选项“A Secret about True Friendship”符合题意。 D 阅读短文，选出能填入空格处的最佳选项，其中两个是多余选项。 Do you want to bring some green into your room without buying expensive flower pots?

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自制悬挂玻璃瓶花盆的步骤。 【36题详解】 前文“Making a hanging glass bottle planter (花盆) by yourself is a great choice. It is easy, cheap and fun”提到自制悬挂玻璃瓶花盆是很好的选择；后文“First, get all the things ready.”、“Next, deal with the bottle.”、“After that, fix and fill the bottle.”和“Finally, hang it up.”介绍了自制悬挂玻璃瓶花盆的步骤。选项B“你只需要大约半小时就能做完它。”承接上文，继续说明这个手工耗时不长，引出下文的制作步骤。 【37题详解】 前文“You need a clean glass bottle, thick rope, scissors, some small stones, soil and a small green plant like pothos (绿萝). You can buy all these things in nearby shops.”介绍了所需的材料，以及从哪里买这些材料；后文“It is easier for you to put soil and plants inside.”提到往里面放土壤和植物会更容易，选项E“广口瓶子效果更好。”不仅是对前文的所需材料的补充说明，也和后文提到的方便放土和植物相呼应。 【38题详解】 前文“Next, deal with the bottle.”提到处理瓶子，选项A“仔细清洗瓶子，确保里面没有水。”属于处理瓶子这一步要做的事情，做完瓶子的处理之后，再衔接后文的“Then cut the rope into three pieces of the same length.”把绳子剪成等长的三段。 【39题详解】 前文“Shake it gently to check if it is safe.”提到轻轻摇晃，检查是否牢固；后文“Put some small stones at the bottom first.”提到先在底部放一些小石子，选项D“现在该往瓶子里面装填东西了。”起到过渡，从固定瓶子过渡到装填瓶内物品。 【40题详解】 前文“Hang your DIY planter there. It looks warm and special.”提到把自制花盆挂在那里，看起来温暖又特别；后文“When you look at it, you will feel proud because you make it with your own hands.”提到当你看着自己亲手做的花盆时，会很自豪，选项F“每隔几天给植物浇水，看着它生长。”讲做好之后的后续养护，符合语境。 五、 从方框内选择合适的单词或词组，并用其正确形式填空。 in a mess; humour; invent; suggestion; look forward to; important; catch one’s eye; they; get along with; in order to 41.

The great ______________ kept trying until he finally made his new useful machine. 50. The kitchen was ______________ after I baked cookies with my little sister there. 【答案】41. humorous 42. caught my eye 43. get along with 44. look forward to 45. importance 46. suggestion 47. in order to 48. themselves 49. inventor 50. in a mess 【解析】 【41题详解】 句意：这位幽默的年轻老师喜欢课后和学生分享有趣的故事。后面是名词teacher，需要形容词修饰。名词humour意为“幽默”，形容词为humorous，意为“幽默的”。故填humorous。 【42题详解】 句意：当我经过教室时，一个漂亮的自制玻璃瓶吸引了我的目光。时间状语“when I walked past”是一般过去时；catch one’s eye“吸引某人注意”。主语是bottle，这里one’s改为my，catch过去式caught。故填caught my eye。 【43题详解】 句意：如果你友善又有耐心，你几乎可以和身边所有人和睦相处。情态动词can后接动词原形，get along with意为“与……相处融洽”，符合语境。故填get along with。 【44题详解】 句意：我们都很期待每年参加学校体育节。“every year”提示此句为一般现在时，主语we；look forward to doing sth期待做某事，to是介词，后面接doing，和句中taking匹配。故填look forward to。 【45题详解】 句意：这个故事帮我们认识到日常生活中真挚友谊的重要性。定冠词the后接名词，important的名词形式importance意为“重要性”，构成the importance of...结构，表示“……的重要性”。故填importance。 【46题详解】 句意：你能给我一条关于制作好看花盆的实用建议吗？不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，suggestion意为“建议”，符合“给我一条有用建议”的语境。故填suggestion。 【47题详解】 句意：她每天早上大声朗读英语，为了提升英语口语。此处表目的，in order to意为“为了”，后接动词原形improve，符合每天大声读英语来提升口语的逻辑。故填in order to。 【48题详解】 句意：青少年们在家独立完成了富有创意的手工作品。固定搭配all by oneself意为“独自”，对应主语teenagers，they的反身代词themselves符合语义。故填themselves。 【49题详解】 句意：这位伟大的发明家不断尝试，最终造出了全新实用的机器。形容词great后接名词，结合“造出有用新机器”的语境，invent的名词形式inventor意为“发明家”符合要求。故填inventor。 【50题详解】 句意：我和妹妹在厨房烤完饼干后，厨房一片狼藉。固定短语in a mess意为“一团糟”，符合和妹妹烤完饼干后厨房凌乱的语境。 六、短文首字母填空（10 分） Shen Kuo was one of China’s greatest old-time scientists, living over 900 years ago in the Northern Song Dynasty. He never just b____51____ what books said. Instead, he loved to go out, see things for h____52____ and do small tests to find the real truth. Here are two of his most famous stories. The first story is about peach blossoms (桃花盛开). O____53____ Shen Kuo read a famous poem. It said: “All flowers fall in April, but mountain peach blossoms just start to bloom.” At first he thought this must be i____54____. How could flowers on the same planet bloom at two completely different times? He was so c____55____ to check that he climbed the mountain in April. He soon found the mountain above was much colder than the ground b____56____. The cool mountain air makes flowers wake up and open much later. Shen Kuo r____57____ this rule in his book Dream Pool Essays. Today we call this a part of “phenology (生物气候学)”, the science of how nature changes with seasons. The second story is about a sound resonance experiment (声音共振实验). Shen Kuo had two guqin. He cut out a tiny paper doll with scissors and g____58____ it on a string of the first guqin. Then he plucked (弹拨) the same-note (音符) string on the second guqin. Guess what? The little paper doll danced as well! But if he plucked a different note, the paper doll did not move at all. This was the world’s first clear t____59____ to show that sounds of the same note can “shake each other”, a thing we now call sound resonance. What is Shen Kuo’s s____60____ of success? If you want to find the real truth, don’t just sit and read. Go outside, watch carefully, and do small experiments yourself. Cool science is often hiding right in the little things around you. 【答案】51. believed##elieved 52. himself##imself 53. Once##nce 54. impossible##mpossible 55. curious##urious 56. below##elow 57. recorded##ecorded 58. glued##lued 59. test##est 60. secret##ecret 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国北宋时期著名科学家沈括的两则经典轶事，展现了他不盲从书本、亲身实践探索真理的科研态度，最后点明了他取得成功的诀窍。 【51题详解】 句意：他从不只是相信书本上所说的内容。结合后文“Instead, he loved to go out, see things...”可知，他要亲自观察事物，所以不会只盲目相信书上所说的内容，“b”对应believe，全文介绍沈括的事迹使用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式believed。 【52题详解】 句意：相反，他喜欢走出去，亲自观察事物，做小实验来找到真正的真理。此处是固定搭配see sth. for oneself，表示“亲眼查看”，主语是he，对应反身代词himself。 【53题详解】 句意：有一次，沈括读了一首著名的诗。此处用来引出后续发生的某次事件，结合首字母“O”，Once“曾经，有一次”符合语境。 【54题详解】 句意：起初他认为这肯定是不可能的。根据后文他的疑惑“How could flowers on the same planet bloom at two completely different times?”可知，他认为这事是不可能的，“i”对应impossible“不可能的”，形容词作表语。 【55题详解】 句意：他非常好奇，想要去核实，于是在四月份爬上了山。结合“...to check that he climbed the mountain in April”可知，之所以去爬山是因为想要查证上文所提到的那件事，说明他很好奇，“c”对应curious“好奇的”，在此处作表语。 【56题详解】 句意：他很快发现山上比下方的地面冷得多。此处和山上形成位置对比，表达“在下方”的含义，结合首字母“b”提示，应填below“在……下面”。 【57题详解】 句意：沈括把这个规律记录在了他的《梦溪笔谈》这本书里。句子缺少谓语动词，全文时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。结合语境可知，是把发现的规律记录下来，“r”对应record，其过去式为recorded。 【58题详解】 句意：他用剪刀剪出一个小纸人，把它粘在第一把古琴的一根琴弦上。and连接并列的谓语，和前面的“cut”时态保持一致，用一般过去时。结合“He cut out a tiny paper doll with scissors and...it on a string of the first guqin.”可知，剪下来之后要粘上去，“g”对应glue，其过去式为glued。 【59题详解】 句意：这是世界上第一个清晰的测试，用来展示相同音符的声音可以“互相震动”，也就是我们现在所说的声音共振。形容词clear后面修饰名词，结合“Then he plucked (弹拨) the same-note (音符) string on the second guqin. Guess what? The little paper doll danced as well! But if he plucked a different note, the paper doll did not move at all.”可知，这是一个实验测试，“t”对应test，主语是“This”，因此test也用单数形式。 【60题详解】 句意：沈括成功的诀窍是什么？后文“If you want to find the real truth, don’t just sit and read...”给出了成功方法的总结，此处表达“秘诀、诀窍”的含义，“s”对应secret，意为“秘诀，诀窍”。 七、 阅读短文，回答下列问题，每题答案不超过 8 个词 Balcony herb (香草) DIY is a fresh and relaxing hobby that has become quite popular among middle school students these days. Instead of buying expensive potted herbs from flower shops, many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home. This small and easy project builds a close tie between us and the quiet beauty of nature, and brings us lots of warm little joy that busy school life often misses. To start this hobby, you don’t need any expensive tools. All you need are simple things: proper planters (花盆), nutrient-rich soil (营养土), a bag of herb seeds (种子) or some healthy small seedlings (苗). Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters. One important tip to remember is to drill several small holes at the bottom of each container, so extra water can run out smoothly and stop the soft plant roots from rotting (腐烂). Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them. After several weeks of careful care, you can pick fresh green leaves to add to your cold drinks or home cooking. Growing herbs teaches us to carefully watch those tiny lovely changes in nature, from a tiny new bud (芽) to a full green leaf. When you smell the special fresh smell of the mint you grow with your own hands, all your tiredness from long hours of study will soon disappear. Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement. Even a small common balcony can turn into a warm little green world with such simple DIY work. 61. What are the three common herbs mentioned in the passage? ___________________________________________________________ 62. What daily waste can be reused as planters? ___________________________________________________________ 63. How often does the text suggest we water the herb plants? ___________________________________________________________ 64. What can the slow DIY help us? (just list one point) ___________________________________________________________ 65. What other DIY jobs can we do on the balcony? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】61. Mint, basil and rosemary. 62. Old wooden boxes and yogurt pots. 63. Two or three times a week. 64. It helps us stay away from screens. 65. We can grow some flowers and vegetables. (答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了阳台香草DIY这一放松爱好，说明了所需材料、种植步骤、浇水方法，以及这一活动带来的好处。 【61题详解】 根据第一段“…many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home.”可知，文中提及的三种常见香草是薄荷、罗勒、迷迭香。 【62题详解】 根据第二段“Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters.”可知，旧木箱、酸奶罐都可充当花盆，属于可再利用的日常废弃物。 【63题详解】 根据第二段“Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them.”可知，文章给出的浇水建议是一周两到三次。  【64题详解】 根据第三段“Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement.”可知，这个缓慢安静的手工活动帮我们远离电子屏幕。它也带给我们强烈的成就感。 【65题详解】 开放性作答，属于合理的阳台DIY活动，字数不超8词即可。参考答案为：We can grow some flowers and vegetables. 八、书面表达（共 15 分） 66. 假设你是校 DIY 社团的成员李华，你的澳大利亚网友 Simon 想了解你和朋友之间的 DIY 故事，请根据以下问题，用英文写一封邮件向他讲述你和朋友的 DIY 故事。 1.

I am now a member of our school’s DIY club. Now I am glad to tell you my DIY story. Last weekend, my friend and I decided to make a hanging glass bottle planter together. We needed a clean glass bottle, thick rope, scissors, some small stones, soil and a green plant. First, we washed the bottle and cut the rope into three pieces of the same length. Then we tied the rope around the bottle neck to hold it. Next, we put small stones at the bottom for drainage and filled the bottle with soil. Finally, we planted the green plant and hung it on the balcony. At first, I worried I would make mistakes. My friend told me to be patient and take it step by step. From this DIY, I learned that teamwork works well and patience brings good results. It also brought me a strong feeling of satisfaction.

I have “Forest School” on Monday afternoon. Ms Brown takes us to the forest. We learn how to put up a tent and make a fire in the forest. On a family trip in the forest, I help my parents make a fire. I’m so happy. The class helps me a lot. Hi, I’m Gina. I am an American student. I have a folk dance class at school. It is on Wednesday morning. I think Ms Smith is a good teacher. She tells us about the history and culture of dancing. I like her very much. Hey, I’m Jack. I’m a 13-year-old boy from Australia. Our school has surfing classes. Surfing is fun. But not everyone can do it. Today is Wednesday, so we have the surfing class tomorrow morning. I study it for a long time. Now, I am good at it. Can you see the man in the picture? He is my teacher, Mr Green. 26. What does Frank think of “Forest School”? A. It’s exciting. B. It’s boring. C. It’s helpful. D. It’s relaxing. 27. Which of the following is true? A. Jack has a surfing class on Wednesday. B. Ms Brown is Mary’s surfing teacher. C. Frank is a student from America. D. Gina can learn about the history of dancing. 28. What does the underlined sentence “But not everyone can do it” mean? A. The surfing class is expensive. B. The surfing class is not easy. C. Some students don’t like the surfing class. D. Only a few students can take the surfing class. B How many languages do you know? Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!” or “That test was a killer.” Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. Usually, it is easy for beginners to be understood even if they mispronounce words, and you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 29. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A. Twenty. B. Twenty-three. C. Twenty-six. D. Twenty-nine. 30. Which of the following can you seldom see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A. abc B. bcd C. acd D. abd 31. What can we know from the passage? A. Swedish is easier to learn than English. B. A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. C. Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. D. Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. C The little prince walked through a large garden full of roses. All of them looked exactly like his own flower. He felt very sad. “I thought my rose was the only one in the whole world,” he said to himself. “But there are five thousand of them, all the same, in just one garden.” He lay down in the grass and cried. Then a fox appeared. “Come and play with me,” the little prince said. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox answered. “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means ‘to create ties’,” the fox said. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you.” The fox went on. “You see the wheat fields over there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields say nothing to me. That is sad. But you have golden hair. Once you have tamed me, it will be wonderful. The wheat, which is golden, will bring me the thought of you. I will learn to love the sound of the wind in the wheat.” The fox looked carefully at the little prince. “Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will give you a secret as a gift.” The little prince went away to see the roses again. “You are not my rose,” he told them. “Nobody has tamed you, and you have tamed nobody. You are like my fox before I knew him. But my rose is more important than all of you, because it is her that I have watered, it is her that I have protected under the glass cover, it is for her that I have killed all the worms, it is her that I have listened to when she complained (抱怨) or talked proudly.” When he returned to the fox, the fox said, “Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What matters most is invisible (看不见的) to the eye.” —Adapted from The Little Prince 32. Why did the little prince cry when he saw so many roses? A. The roses were not beautiful enough. B. He found his rose was not the only one of its kind. C. The fox refused to play with him. D. He could not find his rose in the garden. 33. What does the underlined word “unique” mean in the passage? A. scary B. special C. lively D. dangerous 34. From the fox’s words, we can infer that true friendship mainly depends on ________. A. the same looks B. long talks C. special ties built together D. expensive gifts 35. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Secret about True Friendship B. A Garden of Beautiful Roses C. The Story of a Clever Fox D. The Sad Little Prince D 阅读短文，选出能填入空格处的最佳选项，其中两个是多余选项。 Do you want to bring some green into your room without buying expensive flower pots? Making a hanging glass bottle planter (花盆) by yourself is a great choice. It is easy, cheap and fun. ____36____ First, get all the things ready. You need a clean glass bottle, thick rope, scissors, some small stones, soil and a small green plant like pothos (绿萝). You can buy all these things in nearby shops. ____37____ It is easier for you to put soil and plants inside. Next, deal with the bottle. ____38____ Then cut the rope into three pieces of the same length. Tie one end of each rope together at the top. This knot will be used to hang your bottle. After that, fix and fill the bottle. Put the bottle in the middle of the three ropes. Tie another knot below the bottle’s neck to hold it tight.

He never just b____51____ what books said. Instead, he loved to go out, see things for h____52____ and do small tests to find the real truth. Here are two of his most famous stories. The first story is about peach blossoms (桃花盛开). O____53____ Shen Kuo read a famous poem.

Shen Kuo r____57____ this rule in his book Dream Pool Essays. Today we call this a part of “phenology (生物气候学)”, the science of how nature changes with seasons.

If you want to find the real truth, don’t just sit and read. Go outside, watch carefully, and do small experiments yourself. Cool science is often hiding right in the little things around you. 七、 阅读短文，回答下列问题，每题答案不超过 8 个词 Balcony herb (香草) DIY is a fresh and relaxing hobby that has become quite popular among middle school students these days. Instead of buying expensive potted herbs from flower shops, many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home. This small and easy project builds a close tie between us and the quiet beauty of nature, and brings us lots of warm little joy that busy school life often misses. To start this hobby, you don’t need any expensive tools. All you need are simple things: proper planters (花盆), nutrient-rich soil (营养土), a bag of herb seeds (种子) or some healthy small seedlings (苗). Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters. One important tip to remember is to drill several small holes at the bottom of each container, so extra water can run out smoothly and stop the soft plant roots from rotting (腐烂). Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them. After several weeks of careful care, you can pick fresh green leaves to add to your cold drinks or home cooking. Growing herbs teaches us to carefully watch those tiny lovely changes in nature, from a tiny new bud (芽) to a full green leaf. When you smell the special fresh smell of the mint you grow with your own hands, all your tiredness from long hours of study will soon disappear. Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement. Even a small common balcony can turn into a warm little green world with such simple DIY work. 61.
