Woodblock printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty. Later, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing during the Northern Song Dynasty, which made printing even faster and helped to spread culture widely. Gunpowder Gunpowder came from ancient alchemy (炼金术). At first, it was used to make fireworks, but later it became very important in wars. Gunpowder changed how soldiers fought during wars. Compass The compass was very important for navigation (导航). It helped people find directions, making long-distance sailing possible. Chinese sailors used the compass to find new trade paths, which helped communicate and trade between different areas. 36. Before the invention of paper, what did people use for writing? A. They used bamboo slips and silks. B. They used animals’ fur and bones. C. They used bamboo slips and sticks. D. They used animals’ bones and silk. 37.

When his seventh birthday came, he received a small cart with a birthday letter from Grandpa: “I hope you like my birthday present. Have a good time with it, and give somebody else a good time with it, too.” Teddy played nearly all day with his present, and for a week he hardly played with anything else. One day he told his mother, “Jack says my cart is the best one on the street. It’s strong, and it can go just as fast as anything.” “Then you should give somebody else a good time with it, right?” Mother said. “But I don’t know how I can give anybody else a good time with it except (除……之外) Mary and Ned. Other children either have a cart or a bicycle, so they don’t care about playing with mine.” “Well, dear, watch and see what else you can do. There may be some chances to make somebody else happy. Will you take this food to Mrs. Atwood now? She fell ill again.” Teddy started off with the food, and in two hours he came back. “Oh, Mother,” he said, “I helped Mrs. Atwood move a shelf by cart.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Teddy收到爷爷送的生日礼物手推车后，在妈妈的引导下用手推车帮助生病的Mrs Atwood搬架子，从而体会到帮助别人也能给自己带来快乐的故事。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。文章第四、五段中，当Teddy不知道怎样让别人开心时，妈妈引导他“watch and see what else you can do. There may be some chances to make somebody else happy”，并让他给生病的Mrs Atwood送食物，由此可见他的妈妈是乐于助人的。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段Teddy说“I helped Mrs. Atwood move a shelf by cart”，说明Teddy用手推车帮Mrs Atwood搬了架子。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Teddy在帮助Mrs Atwood搬架子后说“I’m so happy”，这表明作者写这篇文章是为了说明帮助别人能给自己带来快乐。 C When Emma moved to Oakwood Middle School, she was afraid no one would like her. On her first day, she nervously held her books in the hallway. Suddenly, her papers went flying. As she knelt (跪着) to collect them, a hand reached down to help. “Are you new here?” asked a girl with curly hair. “I’m Mia.” That day, Mia showed Emma around the school. At lunch, Mia introduced Emma to her friends. Though Emma was quiet, they asked about her hobbies. They even planned to watch the meteor shower (流星雨) with her that weekend. When Emma said she had problems with math, Jake from the group asked to study together. Weeks later, when Mia was sick (生病的), Emma got the class to visit her. They took all kinds of cards with comforting words. “You don’t have to do this,” Mia said with a smile. Emma smiled back, “I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me.” Soon, Emma noticed the students in her class helping each other. Her simple act of accepting help started a chain reaction (连锁反应) of kindness around the school. One act of kindness creates results that can change the whole area. When we open our hearts to others, we make them want to do the same. 42. Who was the first one to help in the story? A. Mia. B. Emma. C. Jake. D. A new student. 43. Which of the following is the right order of the events in the story? ①Emma took the classmates to see Mia. ②Jake and Emma studied together. ③Mia showed Emma around the new school. ④Mia’s friends asked Emma about her hobbies. ⑤The students in the class started helping each other. A. ④→①→⑤→③→② B. ⑤→④→③→②→① C. ③→⑤→②→①→④ D. ③→④→②→①→⑤ 44. What does the underlined word “repaying” mean? A. Receiving. B. Refusing. C. Returning. D. Recording. 45. What does the story mainly want to tell us? A. It’s easy to make friends in a new school. B. One kind act can lead to more kindness. C. Studying together helps improve grades. D. Visiting sick friends is a good habit. 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Emma转学到Oakwood中学后，Mia主动帮助她，使她融入新集体，Emma后来以善行回报，从而引发了校园里连锁反应的善举，说明一个善举可以带来更多善意。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“a hand reached down to help. ‘Are you new here?’ asked a girl with curly hair. ‘I’m Mia.’”可知，最先伸出援手的是卷发女孩Mia。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容：Mia带Emma参观新学校（第一段），Mia的朋友询问Emma的爱好（第二段），Jake和Emma一起学习数学（第二段），Emma带同学看望生病的Mia（第三段），班里学生开始互相帮助（第四段），正确顺序为③→④→②→①→⑤。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段Emma的话“I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me”并结合上文可知，Mia曾帮助Emma，Emma带同学探望她是回报Mia的善意，故repaying意为“回报”，与Returning意思相近。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后两段“Her simple act of accepting help started a chain reaction of kindness”和“One act of kindness creates results that can change the whole area”可知，文章主要通过Emma的故事说明一个善举可以引发更多善意。 D A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around.

Let’s have a flying competition!” One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles (圈), performed other flying skills, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (努力挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…” The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach. 46. What does the underlined word “him” refer (指) to? A. All kinds of crows. B. The swan. C. The sea. D. Another crow. 47. Why did the crow keep touching the water? A. It was tired and almost fell into the water. B. It was showing another flying skill. C. It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. D. It was enjoying itself by doing so. 48. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. The crow can’t fly. B. Flying skills were useless. C. The swan was able to fly longer and farther than the crow. D. The swan saved the crow because they were good friends. 49. Where might you read this passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a science magazine. C. In an ad. D. In a news report. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个关于乌鸦和天鹅之间发生的故事。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him…”可知，现在轮到天鹅了。他飞起来，开始在海上飞翔。乌鸦跟在他后面飞。因此划线的“him”指代的是“天鹅”，故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.”可知，乌鸦是因为太累了，几乎掉进水里，因此一直接触水面，故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? Let’s have a flying competition…said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition…I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life”可知，可以判断天鹅能够比乌鸦飞得更远更久，因为乌鸦最终因疲惫而求助，故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。文章叙述了一个寓意故事，因此适合出现在故事书中，故选A。 E During my last year of junior high school, our teacher, Mrs. Debby, gave us a quiz (测试). I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects. I finished the question successfully until I read the last one: What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? Of course I thought that must have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But how could I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather guilty (内疚的). Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered. Before the quiz ended, one student asked if the last question would be counted in our grades. “Of course,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all important. They deserve (值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and say hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson in my life. Later, I also learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah. 50. We can know from the passage that the writer ________ during junior high school. A. was not hard-working B. didn’t like to go to school C. did well in all subjects D. always talked with the cleaning woman 51. What was the writer’s answer to the last question of the quiz? A. “Debby.” B. “I don’t know.” C. “Hannah.” D. He didn’t answer it. 52. By the last question of the quiz, the teacher wanted to tell the students that ________. A. they should work hard B. they should learn from each other C. they should pay attention to all the people around them D. they should clean the school by themselves 【答案】50. C 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是讲述作者通过一次测试，明白了一个道理：每个人都值得我们的关注，我们应该了解所有在我们周围工作和生活的人。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects.”可知，作者全部的科目都很好，故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered.”可知，作者没有回答最后一个问题，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me.”可知，老师想要告诉学生：他们应该了解所有在他们周围工作和生活的人，故选C。 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 F There was a fisherman with amazing fishing skills. People called him “The Fishing King”. But when he grew old, he became very worried because his three sons weren’t very good at fishing. He often told others, “I really don’t understand! My skills are so good, but why are my sons’ so bad? Since they were little kids, I’ve taught them everything—how to weave nets (网), how to catch fish most easily, how to row boats without scaring the fish and how to set traps (陷阱) to make fish swim right in. As they grew up, I taught them to read tides (潮汐) and find fish seasons…I shared all my experience, but they still can’t fish as well as other fishermen’s sons.” A man passing by heard him and asked, “Did you teach them hand in hand?” “Yes! I taught them carefully and patiently to make them the best.” “Did they always follow you?” “Yes, to help them avoid (避免) mistakes, I always let them learn by following me.” The man said, “Then the problem is clear. You only taught them skills, but not how to learn from mistakes. Practice and learning from mistakes make perfect.” 53. Why did the fisherman feel worried about his sons? (不超过10个词) ____________________________________________________ 54. When did the fisherman start to teach his sons to fish? (不超过5个词) ____________________________________________________ 55. What lesson can we learn from the story? (不超过10个词) ____________________________________________________ 【答案】53. Because his sons weren’t good at fishing. 54. When they were little kids. 55. Practice and learning from mistakes make perfect. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位渔王教自己的孩子钓鱼，得出实践以及从错误中学习，才能获得完美。 【53题详解】 根据文中第一段“he became very worried because his three sons weren’t very good at fishing”可知，渔夫担心儿子是因为他们不擅长钓鱼。故答案为Because his sons weren’t good at fishing. 【54题详解】 根据文中第二段“Since they were little kids, I’ve taught them everything”可知，渔夫从儿子们还是小孩子的时候就开始教他们钓鱼。故答案为When they were little kids. 【55题详解】 根据文中最后一句“Practice and learning from mistakes make perfect”可知，故事告诉我们实践和从错误中学习才能变得完美。故答案为Practice and learning from mistakes make perfect. 第四部分 写作(共两大题, 满分25分) IX. 单词拼写(共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分) 56. Our school a________ (允许) students to design their own club posters now. 【答案】allows##llows 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们学校现在允许学生设计自己的社团海报。根据首字母提示和“（允许）students to design their own club posters now.”可知，此处指学校允许学生设计社团海报。allow“允许”，动词，allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，根据句中now可知，句子时态为一般现在时，主语Our school为第三人称单数，动词用三单形式，故填allows。 57.

Papermaking Papermaking was improved by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before this, people used bamboo slips (竹简) and silk for writing. The invention of paper made writing easier and cheaper, and helped people share knowledge and culture better. Printing Printing includes woodblock printing (木版印刷) and movable type printing (活字印刷). Woodblock printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty. Later, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing during the Northern Song Dynasty, which made printing even faster and helped to spread culture widely. Gunpowder Gunpowder came from ancient alchemy (炼金术). At first, it was used to make fireworks, but later it became very important in wars. Gunpowder changed how soldiers fought during wars. Compass The compass was very important for navigation (导航). It helped people find directions, making long-distance sailing possible. Chinese sailors used the compass to find new trade paths, which helped communicate and trade between different areas. 36. Before the invention of paper, what did people use for writing? A. They used bamboo slips and silks. B. They used animals’ fur and bones. C. They used bamboo slips and sticks. D. They used animals’ bones and silk. 37.

When his seventh birthday came, he received a small cart with a birthday letter from Grandpa: “I hope you like my birthday present. Have a good time with it, and give somebody else a good time with it, too.” Teddy played nearly all day with his present, and for a week he hardly played with anything else. One day he told his mother, “Jack says my cart is the best one on the street. It’s strong, and it can go just as fast as anything.” “Then you should give somebody else a good time with it, right?” Mother said. “But I don’t know how I can give anybody else a good time with it except (除……之外) Mary and Ned. Other children either have a cart or a bicycle, so they don’t care about playing with mine.” “Well, dear, watch and see what else you can do. There may be some chances to make somebody else happy. Will you take this food to Mrs. Atwood now? She fell ill again.” Teddy started off with the food, and in two hours he came back. “Oh, Mother,” he said, “I helped Mrs. Atwood move a shelf by cart. I’m so happy. Grandpa must feel proud of me.” 39. Which word best describes Teddy’s mother? A. Brave. B. Quiet. C. Helpful. D. Awful. 40. What did Teddy do to help Mrs. Atwood? A.

C When Emma moved to Oakwood Middle School, she was afraid no one would like her. On her first day, she nervously held her books in the hallway. Suddenly, her papers went flying. As she knelt (跪着) to collect them, a hand reached down to help. “Are you new here?” asked a girl with curly hair. “I’m Mia.” That day, Mia showed Emma around the school. At lunch, Mia introduced Emma to her friends. Though Emma was quiet, they asked about her hobbies. They even planned to watch the meteor shower (流星雨) with her that weekend. When Emma said she had problems with math, Jake from the group asked to study together. Weeks later, when Mia was sick (生病的), Emma got the class to visit her. They took all kinds of cards with comforting words. “You don’t have to do this,” Mia said with a smile. Emma smiled back, “I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me.” Soon, Emma noticed the students in her class helping each other. Her simple act of accepting help started a chain reaction (连锁反应) of kindness around the school. One act of kindness creates results that can change the whole area. When we open our hearts to others, we make them want to do the same. 42. Who was the first one to help in the story? A. Mia. B. Emma. C. Jake. D. A new student. 43.

The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视). “You have no flying skills at all” He said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? Let’s have a flying competition!” One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles (圈), performed other flying skills, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (努力挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow.

I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects. I finished the question successfully until I read the last one: What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? Of course I thought that must have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But how could I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather guilty (内疚的). Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered. Before the quiz ended, one student asked if the last question would be counted in our grades. “Of course,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all important. They deserve (值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and say hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson in my life. Later, I also learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah. 50. We can know from the passage that the writer ________ during junior high school. A. was not hard-working B. didn’t like to go to school C. did well in all subjects D. always talked with the cleaning woman 51. What was the writer’s answer to the last question of the quiz?

A. they should work hard B. they should learn from each other C. they should pay attention to all the people around them D. they should clean the school by themselves 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 F There was a fisherman with amazing fishing skills. People called him “The Fishing King”. But when he grew old, he became very worried because his three sons weren’t very good at fishing. He often told others, “I really don’t understand! My skills are so good, but why are my sons’ so bad? Since they were little kids, I’ve taught them everything—how to weave nets (网), how to catch fish most easily, how to row boats without scaring the fish and how to set traps (陷阱) to make fish swim right in. As they grew up, I taught them to read tides (潮汐) and find fish seasons…I shared all my experience, but they still can’t fish as well as other fishermen’s sons.” A man passing by heard him and asked, “Did you teach them hand in hand?” “Yes! I taught them carefully and patiently to make them the best.” “Did they always follow you?” “Yes, to help them avoid (避免) mistakes, I always let them learn by following me.” The man said, “Then the problem is clear. You only taught them skills, but not how to learn from mistakes. Practice and learning from mistakes make perfect.” 53. Why did the fisherman feel worried about his sons?
