Did you know that honey never goes ____11____? People have found 5,000-year-old honey and you can still eat it. Honey can help us with a lot of our health problems. Each bee colony (群体) has one mother bee. This queen bee can live for three to five years. She produces up to 2,000 eggs every day. The other bees make honey ____12____ young bees can eat in the winter. How do they do this? Bees ____13____ lots of flowers and take the pollen home. But as they do this, some of the pollen ____14____ the bees onto other flowers. The plants use this pollen to make new plants. In the world, about thirty percent of the world’s plants need bees to live. Unfortunately, bees can sting (蜇) you if they think you are trying to ____15____ them. The best thing to do if this happens is to take the stinger out ____16____ with a card and wash the area with soap and water. Put ice on it for the pain. Some bees die after they sting, ____17____ bees! You will need a jacket and a hat with a piece that covers your face to keep you ____18____ while you are working with the bees. At the same time, you will need a way to make some smoke. When there is smoke near their home, bees can’t “____19____” to each other.

A. active B. healthy C. safe 19. A. serve B. swim C. talk 20. A. excited B. busy C. tired 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 16. A 17. C 18. C 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了蜂蜜不易变质的特性、蜜蜂的群体生活、授粉作用、被蜇后的处理方法以及与蜜蜂工作时的安全防护措施。 【11题详解】 句意：你知道蜂蜜永远不会变质吗？ 根据下文“5,000-year-old honey and you can still eat it”可知，蜂蜜历经千年仍可食用，说明不会变质，故选bad。crazy“疯狂的”、fresh“新鲜的”均语义不通。 【12题详解】 句意：其他蜜蜂酿蜜，以便幼蜂在冬天有食物可吃。 后半句是前半句酿蜜的目的，so that引导目的状语从句，表示“以便，为了”，符合语境。although“虽然”，引导让步从句；because“因为”，引导原因从句，均逻辑不符。 【13题详解】 句意：蜜蜂造访大量花朵，把花粉带回蜂巢。 visit flowers表示造访、采花蜜。hunt“打猎、搜寻”，对象一般不是花朵；cut“切割”语义不通。 【14题详解】 句意：但是当它们这样做的时候，一些花粉会从蜜蜂身上掉到其他的花上。 花粉传播是从蜜蜂身上掉落的过程，故选falls off。puts on“穿上、上演”、looks up“查阅、抬头看”，均和花粉传播无关。 【15题详解】 句意：不幸的是，如果蜜蜂认为你试图伤害它们，它们会蜇你。 蜜蜂蜇人是自卫反应，感觉到被伤害才会攻击，故选hurt。protect“保护”、avoid“避开”，均不合逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：如果发生这种情况，最好的做法是用卡片小心地把螫针拔出来，再用肥皂和水冲洗患处。 拔除螫针涉及身体处理，需要小心操作，故选carefully。politely“礼貌地”、wisely“明智地”，均不适合描述拔毒刺的动作。 【17题详解】 句意：一些蜜蜂蜇人后会死去，可怜的蜜蜂！ 蜜蜂因蜇人而死，令人同情，故选poor。warm“温暖的”、lucky“幸运的”，和前文“蜇后死亡”矛盾。 【18题详解】 句意：和蜜蜂打交道时，你需要穿上外套、戴上能遮住脸部的帽子来保护自身安全。 防护装备的作用是防止被蜇，确保安全，故选safe。active“积极的”、healthy“健康的”：护具作用是防护、保证安全，不是保持活跃或健康。 【19题详解】 句意：当蜂巢附近有烟雾时，蜜蜂就无法互相传递信息。 此处指蜜蜂之间的信息沟通，故选talk。serve“服务”、swim“游泳”，语义完全不匹配。 【20题详解】 句意：它们会开始进食蜂蜜，还想着弃巢离开，这样它们就会忙得顾不上蜇你了。 蜜蜂忙于吃蜜和搬家，无暇攻击，故选busy。excited“兴奋的”、tired“疲惫的”，均不能解释不蜇人的原因。 三、阅读理解(共20分，每小题1分) (A) 根据语言材料内容选择最佳答案 Chicago Botanic Garden has many interesting activities for visitors.

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. Besides me, the other three kids in my family had the same strict mother. My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed before 9:00 p.m. and up at 8:00 a.m.. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I am trying to raise my children like this too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world. 根据短文内容判断正、误。(正确的选A，错误的选B) 26. There are three children in the writer’s family. 27. The writer’s mother let them eat candy for breakfast. 28. The children had to go to bed before 9 p.m. every day. 29. The writer’s mother taught them to do housework and cook. 30. The writer thinks his mother is really bad and he hates her. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. A 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者回忆母亲曾经对自己兄弟姐妹四人要求严格，看似“刻薄”，实则培养了他们成为受教育且诚实的人，作者对此充满感激并效仿母亲教育自己的孩子。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Besides me, the other three kids in my family had the same strict mother.”可知，除了作者自己外家里还有三个孩子，共有四个孩子，题干写“three children”（三个孩子），数量不符。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs.”可知，作者早餐必须吃麦片和鸡蛋，不能吃糖果，题干写“let them eat candy”（让他们吃糖果），与原文矛盾。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“We had to be in bed before 9:00 p.m....”可知，孩子们必须在晚上9点前上床睡觉，题干表述与原文一致。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook.”可知，母亲要求他们洗碗、整理床铺和学习做饭，题干表述与原文一致。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world.”可知，作者感激母亲，并非恨她，题干写“hates her”（恨她），与原文情感不符。 (C) It is a skill to be honest to your friend without hurting their feelings. A friend of mine said something to me not long ago. “Those sunglasses don’t look good on you,” she told me. I thought the sunglasses were nice. But my friend was honest. She was not trying to be mean. She did not want to make me upset (难过的). She just wanted me to know the truth. And she was ready that I might feel bad. This kind of honesty is not common. It is getting harder to find. We live in a time when social media (社交媒体) changes how we talk with other people. We care a lot about our posts on WeChat. We “like” pictures we do not really like. We leave nice words for others, even if we think their posts are not true or boring. We are slowly forgetting how to be real with each other. We chat with people we just know a little. We say nothing when they have lipstick (口红) on their teeth. We do not tell them their clothes look terrible. We just smile and say everything is fine. We keep quiet, instead of telling the truth. When we do not like something, we swallow it down, because it feels safer than telling the truth—and hurting them. We do not only hide the truth from our friends. We also hide our true feelings from ourselves. We may write about our feelings online, but we only talk about things that happened in the past, not the trouble we are going through now. We do not talk about these hard things when they are still happening. These problems can scare us and make us weak. So we keep them hidden. We put on a happy face and post nice photos online. But when something really bad happens—when we are in hospital, lose our favourite things, or get bad grades—our friends feel surprised. They never expected this. We do not let them see the real trouble before it breaks out. Honesty is difficult. But without it, we cannot build true connections (情感连接) with people. Start with small things. If your friend has lipstick on the teeth, tell them gently. If you think their new clothes are not suitable, you can keep your words soft. Tell your friend you may not come to their party if you really cannot go. Let your family know your true thoughts. Be ready that they may not feel happy. Show more of your real self online. Do it for yourself, and also for the people around you. 根据语言材料选择最佳答案。 31. Why did the writer’s friend say the sunglasses were not good? A. She wanted to make the writer angry. B. She wanted to tell the writer the truth honestly. C. She did not like the writer at all. 32. What do people often do on social media now? A. They always tell their true feelings. B. They post all their serious troubles at once. C. They praise posts even if they don’t really like them. 33. What does the underlined phrase swallow it down mean? A. Eat something quickly. B. Keep unhappy feelings inside and not tell others. C. Say out your true feelings right away. 34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. It’s easy for people to be honest without hurting others. B. We usually talk about our problems when they first come out. C. Honesty helps us build real relationships with others. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should be honest with others in proper ways, though honesty is hard. B. We should never say bad words to our friends. C. Social media makes our life much better. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过朋友评价墨镜的故事引入，探讨社交媒体时代人们难以坦诚相待的现状，指出诚实虽难但对于建立真正情感连接至关重要，并建议人们从小事做起展现真实的自我。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She just wanted me to know the truth.”可知朋友指出墨镜不好看是为了诚实地告知真相，并非为了让作者生气或不喜欢作者。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We ‘like’ pictures we do not really like.”可知人们在社交媒体上经常会点赞甚至赞美自己并不真正喜欢的帖子。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“because it feels safer than telling the truth”可推知该短语意为为了安全而不说出真实想法，把不满藏在心里，不告诉别人。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But without it, we cannot build true connections with people.”可推知诚实能帮助人们建立真正的人际关系，而文中提到诚实很难, 且人们往往隐藏问题。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后两段“Start with small things... Show more of your real self online.”及全文内容可推知文章主要倡导虽然诚实很难，但我们应该用合适的方式对他人诚实，以建立真实连接。 (D) No one is an island. Everyone needs help and everyone should help others. ____36____ Now let me tell you a story about helping others. Long ago, God had a great many burdens (负担). He wished to let others carry them from one place to another. ____37____ But all of them began to make excuses for not helping. The elephant was too conceited (自负的); the lion was too proud (骄傲的) and so on. Finally the birds came to God and said, “If you tie (绑) the burdens into small bundles (捆), we’ll be glad to carry them for you. We are small but we would like to help.” ____38____ Then the birds all set out walking across the field to their destination (目的地). The birds sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter. It seemed that the burdens were lifting (举起) the birds instead of the birds carrying the burdens. When the birds arrived at their destination, to their surprise, they found that the burdens were missing. Instead, they found wings (翅膀) on their backs. ____39____ In our everyday life, we may come across so many difficulties. ____40____ At the same time, when the people around us get into trouble, we must try our best to help them. Let’s try our best to help others who are in trouble and enjoy the happiness from helping others, shall we? 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 A. So he asked the animals for help. B. Helping others brings good feelings both to the giver and the receiver (接受者). C. If others give us a hand, we can easily solve the problems. D. So God tied the burdens into small bundles, and put them on the backs of the birds. E. They could fly into the sky! F. He didn’t know what to do. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过上帝让动物们背负重物，最终小鸟因为乐于助人而长出翅膀的寓言故事，告诉我们帮助别人不仅能解决问题，还能给自己带来快乐与回报。 【36题详解】 第一段空格前提到“Everyone needs help and everyone should help others.”（每个人都需要帮助，每个人都应该帮助别人），空格后引出小鸟助人的故事。选项B“Helping others brings good feelings both to the giver and the receiver.”（帮助他人能给给予者和接受者都带来美好的感受）承接了前文观点，并自然引出下文故事。 【37题详解】 第二段空格前提到上帝想把负担移到别处（“He wished to let others carry them from one place to another.”），空格后紧接着说“But all of them began to make excuses for not helping. The elephant... the lion...”（但他们都开始找借口不帮忙）。选项A“So he asked the animals for help.”（所以他就找动物们帮忙）完美连接了上帝的想法与动物们的反应。 【38题详解】 第二段空格前小鸟说“If you tie the burdens into small bundles, we’ll be glad to carry them for you.”（如果你把负担绑成小捆，我们乐意为你搬运），空格后提到“Then the birds all set out walking...”（然后小鸟们就出发了）。选项D“So God tied the burdens into small bundles, and put them on the backs of the birds.”（所以上帝把负担绑成小捆，放在小鸟的背上）直接回应了小鸟的请求，推动情节发展。 【39题详解】 第三段空格前提到小鸟到达目的地后，发现负担不见了，反而长出了翅膀（“they found wings on their backs”）。选项E“They could fly into the sky!”（它们能飞向天空了！）是长出翅膀后的自然结果，符合故事的童话逻辑与结局。 【40题详解】 第四段空格前说“In our everyday life, we may come across so many difficulties.”（在日常生活中，我们可能会遇到很多困难）。选项C“If others give us a hand, we can easily solve the problems.”（如果别人伸出援手，我们就能轻松解决问题）承接了“遇到困难”的话题，且与后文“At the same time, when the people around us get into trouble, we must try our best to help them.”（同时，当周围的人陷入困境时，我们必须尽力帮助他们）形成呼应。 四、任务型阅读：(共25分，每小题1分) 先阅读A、B、C三篇短文，然后根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列三项任务。 (A) 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 spare, role, expect, importance, connected, their, actually, protecting, believe, compare Many people love putting plants in their homes.

Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months. While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one! 51. What should people do before buying a bird as a pet? ________________ 52. How will the birds feel if they stay alone all day? ________________ 53. What would the pet birds need besides friends? ________________ 54. How many years can some birds live up to? ________________ 55. Do you want to keep a pet bird? Why or why not? ________________ 【答案】51. Think carefully. 52. They wouldn’t feel fun. 53. A lot of care. 54. 20 years or more. 55. No, I don’t. Because they need too much care and I don’t have enough time. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了养鸟作为宠物需要考虑的因素，包括鸟类的社交需求、时间投入和寿命等，提醒人们在养鸟前要慎重思考。 【51题详解】 根据“But before you buy one, think carefully!”可知，在买鸟作为宠物之前，应该仔细考虑。故填Think carefully. 【52题详解】 根据“If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun.”可知，如果鸟整天独自待着，没有人说话，它们会感到无趣。故填They wouldn’t feel fun. 【53题详解】 根据“Birds need a lot of care”可知，宠物鸟除了需要朋友外，还需要大量的照顾。故填A lot of care. 【54题详解】 根据“Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more.”可知，有些鸟可以活20年或更久。故填20 years or more. 【55题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一。结合自身情况，说明是否想养宠物鸟并阐述理由即可。故填No, I don’t. Because they need too much care and I don’t have enough time. (C) 根据短文内容，用符合语意及语法规则的词填空，每空一词。 Last year, my family moved to a new house with a small yard. Dad planted a thin bamboo shoot there, and I thought it was too weak to grow. I even forgot to water it for weeks. One summer, a long drought (干旱) happened in our city. The grass turned yellow, and the flowers died. I felt sorry for the bamboo. Its dry leaves were lying everywhere on the ground. But I was busy with my English exams and had no time to take care of it. When the exams ended badly, I felt disappointed and I didn’t know what to do next. One evening, I walked into the yard and was surprised. The little bamboo had grown taller! Its leaves were green again, and it stood straight in the wind. Dad said bamboo has empty but strong stalks (茎). It’s soft but tough (坚韧的), so it can dig deep into the earth for water when it’s dry. That bamboo taught me a lesson. Life has its ups and downs, just like the drought. But if we stay strong and keep trying, we can solve anything difficult. Now, whenever I face difficulties, I think of that little bamboo-small but brave, and always growing. 56. Dad planted a thin bamboo shoot there, and I thought it wasn’t ________ ________ to grow. 57. I was busy with my English exams and had no time to ________ ________ it. 58. When the exams ended badly, I felt disappointed and I didn’t know what ________ could ________ next. 59. ________ ________ I face difficulties, I think of that little bamboo-small but brave, and always growing. 60. But if we stay strong and keep trying, we can get through anything. = But if we keep strong and keep trying, we can ________ ________ any problem. 【答案】56. ①. strong ②. enough 57. ①. look ②. after 58. ①. I ②. do 59. ①. Every ②. time 60. ①. work ②. out 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者家院子里一株竹笋在干旱中顽强存活的故事。竹子坚韧生长的经历带给作者启发：人生有起有伏，只要坚强坚持，就能战胜困难。 【56题详解】 句意：爸爸在那里种下一根细细的竹笋，我认为它不够强壮，长不大。原句中“too weak to grow”意为“太弱而不能生长”，转换为否定形式即“not strong enough to grow”（不够强壮去生长）。be动词后接形容词，enough修饰形容词时后置。故填strong；enough。 【57题详解】 句意：我忙于英语考试，没有时间照料它。take care of和look after意为“照料”，故填look；after。 【58题详解】 句意：考试考砸的时候，我很失望，不知道接下来自己能做什么。原句“I didn’t know what to do next”是不定式作宾语。转换后的句子结构为“I didn’t know what [主语] could [谓语] next”，这是一个宾语从句。从句主语应为指代说话者的“I”，谓语动词由to do变为情态动词could后的原形do。故填I；do。 【59题详解】 句意：每当我遇到困难，我都会想起那棵小小的竹子——渺小却勇敢，一直在生长。原句“whenever I face difficulties”意为“无论何时/每当”，Every time可以作连词短语引导时间状语从句，意思等同于whenever。故填Every；time。 【60题详解】 句意：但如果我们保持坚强并继续努力，我们可以解决任何问题。原句中“solve”意为“解决”，其同义动词短语为“work out”，后接宾语“any problem”。情态动词can后接动词原形，故填work；out。 五、语法填空：(共10分，每小题1分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词或括号内单词的适当形式。 One Monday evening, 85-year-old Zhang Minghe opened his English book and started a ____61____ (discuss) through WeChat.

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. Besides me, the other three kids in my family had the same strict mother. My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed before 9:00 p.m. and up at 8:00 a.m.. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I am trying to raise my children like this too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world. 根据短文内容判断正、误。(正确的选A，错误的选B) 26. There are three children in the writer’s family. 27. The writer’s mother let them eat candy for breakfast. 28. The children had to go to bed before 9 p.m. every day. 29. The writer’s mother taught them to do housework and cook. 30. The writer thinks his mother is really bad and he hates her. (C) It is a skill to be honest to your friend without hurting their feelings. A friend of mine said something to me not long ago. “Those sunglasses don’t look good on you,” she told me. I thought the sunglasses were nice. But my friend was honest. She was not trying to be mean. She did not want to make me upset (难过的). She just wanted me to know the truth. And she was ready that I might feel bad. This kind of honesty is not common. It is getting harder to find. We live in a time when social media (社交媒体) changes how we talk with other people. We care a lot about our posts on WeChat. We “like” pictures we do not really like. We leave nice words for others, even if we think their posts are not true or boring. We are slowly forgetting how to be real with each other. We chat with people we just know a little. We say nothing when they have lipstick (口红) on their teeth. We do not tell them their clothes look terrible. We just smile and say everything is fine. We keep quiet, instead of telling the truth. When we do not like something, we swallow it down, because it feels safer than telling the truth—and hurting them. We do not only hide the truth from our friends. We also hide our true feelings from ourselves. We may write about our feelings online, but we only talk about things that happened in the past, not the trouble we are going through now. We do not talk about these hard things when they are still happening. These problems can scare us and make us weak. So we keep them hidden. We put on a happy face and post nice photos online. But when something really bad happens—when we are in hospital, lose our favourite things, or get bad grades—our friends feel surprised. They never expected this. We do not let them see the real trouble before it breaks out. Honesty is difficult. But without it, we cannot build true connections (情感连接) with people. Start with small things. If your friend has lipstick on the teeth, tell them gently. If you think their new clothes are not suitable, you can keep your words soft. Tell your friend you may not come to their party if you really cannot go. Let your family know your true thoughts. Be ready that they may not feel happy. Show more of your real self online. Do it for yourself, and also for the people around you. 根据语言材料选择最佳答案。 31. Why did the writer’s friend say the sunglasses were not good? A. She wanted to make the writer angry. B. She wanted to tell the writer the truth honestly. C. She did not like the writer at all. 32. What do people often do on social media now? A. They always tell their true feelings. B. They post all their serious troubles at once. C. They praise posts even if they don’t really like them. 33. What does the underlined phrase swallow it down mean? A. Eat something quickly. B. Keep unhappy feelings inside and not tell others. C. Say out your true feelings right away. 34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. It’s easy for people to be honest without hurting others. B. We usually talk about our problems when they first come out. C. Honesty helps us build real relationships with others. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should be honest with others in proper ways, though honesty is hard. B. We should never say bad words to our friends. C. Social media makes our life much better. (D) No one is an island. Everyone needs help and everyone should help others. ____36____ Now let me tell you a story about helping others. Long ago, God had a great many burdens (负担). He wished to let others carry them from one place to another. ____37____ But all of them began to make excuses for not helping. The elephant was too conceited (自负的); the lion was too proud (骄傲的) and so on. Finally the birds came to God and said, “If you tie (绑) the burdens into small bundles (捆), we’ll be glad to carry them for you. We are small but we would like to help.” ____38____ Then the birds all set out walking across the field to their destination (目的地). The birds sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter. It seemed that the burdens were lifting (举起) the birds instead of the birds carrying the burdens. When the birds arrived at their destination, to their surprise, they found that the burdens were missing. Instead, they found wings (翅膀) on their backs. ____39____ In our everyday life, we may come across so many difficulties. ____40____ At the same time, when the people around us get into trouble, we must try our best to help them. Let’s try our best to help others who are in trouble and enjoy the happiness from helping others, shall we? 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 A. So he asked the animals for help. B. Helping others brings good feelings both to the giver and the receiver (接受者). C. If others give us a hand, we can easily solve the problems. D. So God tied the burdens into small bundles, and put them on the backs of the birds. E. They could fly into the sky! F. He didn’t know what to do. 四、任务型阅读：(共25分，每小题1分) 先阅读A、B、C三篇短文，然后根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列三项任务。 (A) 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 spare, role, expect, importance, connected, their, actually, protecting, believe, compare Many people love putting plants in their homes.

It can help to solve some skin problems like sunburn. And it is widely used in moisturisers (保湿霜) to give people a wonderfully silky texture.

(B) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Many people like the idea of having a bird as a pet. Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months. While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one! 51. What should people do before buying a bird as a pet? ________________ 52. How will the birds feel if they stay alone all day? ________________ 53. What would the pet birds need besides friends? ________________ 54. How many years can some birds live up to? ________________ 55. Do you want to keep a pet bird? Why or why not? ________________ (C) 根据短文内容，用符合语意及语法规则的词填空，每空一词。 Last year, my family moved to a new house with a small yard. Dad planted a thin bamboo shoot there, and I thought it was too weak to grow. I even forgot to water it for weeks. One summer, a long drought (干旱) happened in our city. The grass turned yellow, and the flowers died. I felt sorry for the bamboo. Its dry leaves were lying everywhere on the ground. But I was busy with my English exams and had no time to take care of it. When the exams ended badly, I felt disappointed and I didn’t know what to do next. One evening, I walked into the yard and was surprised. The little bamboo had grown taller! Its leaves were green again, and it stood straight in the wind. Dad said bamboo has empty but strong stalks (茎). It’s soft but tough (坚韧的), so it can dig deep into the earth for water when it’s dry. That bamboo taught me a lesson. Life has its ups and downs, just like the drought. But if we stay strong and keep trying, we can solve anything difficult. Now, whenever I face difficulties, I think of that little bamboo-small but brave, and always growing. 56. Dad planted a thin bamboo shoot there, and I thought it wasn’t ________ ________ to grow. 57.
