Leo’s parents worked in a faraway city, so he spent most of his time with his grandmother. One day, Leo found a little bird in the garden. Its wing was broken, and it couldn’t fly. The bird was very ____13____ so Leo’s heart hurt for it. He decided to take it in, ____14____ it until it could fly again. His grandmother watched him with a smile, knowing that Leo had a kind heart.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了小男孩Leo救助并照顾了一只受伤的小鸟，在奶奶的启发下，他最终将康复的小鸟放归自然，这段经历也成为他成长道路上面对困难时的力量源泉。 【13题详解】 句意：这只小鸟非常可怜，所以Leo为它感到心疼。 根据前文描述小鸟翅膀断了、无法飞行的处境，能看出它的境遇很凄惨，poor“可怜的”符合语境。cold“寒冷的”；bored“无聊的”；dirty“肮脏的”均不符合此处对受伤小鸟处境的描述。 【14题详解】 句意：他决定把它带回家照料，直到它能够再次飞翔。 根据后文Leo每天喂鸟、给它准备清水的照料行为，以及全文最后一段的“the little bird he had nursed”的对应提示，nursing“照料、养护”符合语境。drying“烘干”；touching“触碰”；training“训练”均不符合Leo救助受伤小鸟的行为逻辑。 【15题详解】 句意：Leo每天看到Fluffy一点点好转，他感到非常骄傲。 看到自己悉心照料的小鸟日渐康复，Leo的心情是自豪欣慰的，proud“骄傲的、自豪的”符合语境。serious“严肃的”；nervous“紧张的”；angry“生气的”均不符合此处的情绪逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：她给Leo讲了一只小鹰的故事，小鹰必须学会飞翔，才能离开安全的巢穴，探索未知的世界。 鸟巢是幼崽躲避危险、获得庇护的地方，对于还没学会飞行的小鹰来说是安全的，safe“安全的”符合语境。beautiful“美丽的”；funny“有趣的”；dangerous“危险的”均不符合巢穴对幼鹰的属性描述。 【17题详解】 句意：Leo对这个故事非常感兴趣，听得很认真，在脑海里想象着小鹰自由学习飞翔的画面。 根据句中“in his mind”的提示，是在脑海中勾勒画面，picturing“想象、构想”符合语境。finding“寻找”；watching“观看”；performing“表演”均不符合听故事时在脑中构建画面的行为。 【18题详解】 句意：Leo对小鸟说了充满爱和鼓励的话，然后轻轻托举一下，帮助Fluffy飞向天空。 要帮助恢复健康的小鸟起飞，需要做出向上托举的动作，lift“抬、举”符合语境。order“命令”；clean“清洁”；catch“抓住”均不符合放生小鸟的动作逻辑。 【19题详解】 句意：看着它飞得越来越高，Leo的心里满是骄傲和难过，但他知道这么做是正确的。 将恢复健康的小鸟放归自然，是符合自然规律、对小鸟好的正确选择，right“正确的”符合语境。easy“容易的”；exciting“令人兴奋的”；interesting“有趣的”均不符合此处对放生行为的价值判断。 【20题详解】 句意：每次他感到迷茫的时候，他就会仰望天空，想起自己曾经照料过的那只小鸟，还有祖母充满智慧的话语。 根据前文的时间线，多年后Leo长大离开家乡，回忆过往的经历，remembering“想起、记起”符合语境。testing“测试”；guiding“引导”；questioning“质疑”均不符合此处触景生情回忆往事的状态。 第三部分 阅读理解（共30分） 六、阅读选择（共20分，每小题2分） A 阅读下列课程介绍。请根据人物意愿匹配最合适的课程，并将所对应的A、B、C、D选项填在相应位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Welcome to Green Learners Green Learners provides the world’s best online courses about plants.

I’m not talking about those sportsmen today who only think about themselves. I’m talking about the true spirit of sports. In high school, students still learn important life lessons through sports. Here, sportsmen still work hard for the love of the game and for their team. Lisa Kincaid is one of them. I first met Lisa on the volleyball playground. If anyone should feel proud, it is Lisa. She was not only one of the best volleyball players, but also became a legend (传奇人物) in running. She took part in sixty-four races and never lost. However, she felt uneasy when people talked about her success. She would usually change the conversation to other people’s experiences. She often lent her shoes to someone who had forgotten hers, or wished the best for sportsmen from other teams. Soon after, Lisa’s surprising “loss” in one race surprised me a lot. Lisa’s coach told her that he needed her to run the mile (一英里赛跑). She had never run that race before, but she agreed to do it for the team. Another runner, Jane, was also running. She had gotten special training for the mile and had a good record. On the last lap, all the runners began to speed up. Then, suddenly Jane fell down. Lisa could have run past her to win, but she stopped. “Get up, Jane! You can do it!” she shouted. Just a few seconds later, Jane got up and went on the race. They got to the finishing line (终点线) almost at the same time. Jane finished first, while Lisa came second. It was Lisa’s first time not winning first place in her running life. People cheered for her act of sportsmanship. After the race, Lisa said, “I didn’t want to win that way.” Later, Jane hugged Lisa and tried to give the medal (奖牌) to her. However, Lisa refused and said, “Keep it. I just did what I should do. You won the prize with your own effort.” On that day, Lisa missed a win, but she showed me another kind of success. 24. How did Lisa feel when people talked about her success? A. Proud. B. Surprised. C. Unconfident. D. Uncomfortable. 25. Why did Lisa “lose” the running race at last? A. Because she made a mistake at the end. B. Because she stopped to encourage Jane. C. Because she was not good at running the mile. D. Because she was tired so she couldn’t run faster at the end. 26. According to the passage, the writer hopes to ________. A. compare high school sportsmen with famous ones B. explain how to get the first place in high school C. show that losing a game is a bad thing for everyone D. admire a runner who thinks sportsmanship is more important than winning 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了运动员Lisa在一英里赛跑中为了帮助摔倒的对手Jane而放弃夺冠机会，展现出高尚体育精神的故事，以此赞美真正的体育精神。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段首句“However, she felt uneasy when people talked about her success”可知，人们谈论她的成功时莉萨会感到不安，对应D选项里的Uncomfortable（不舒服的、不自在的）。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Then, suddenly Jane fell down. Lisa could have run past her to win, but she stopped. ‘Get up, Jane! You can do it!’ she shouted.”可知，Lisa本可以赢，但她停下来鼓励摔倒的Jane，导致最终只得了第二名。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“I’m talking about the true spirit of sports.”及最后一段“On that day, Lisa missed a win, but she showed me another kind of success.”可知，作者通过Lisa的故事，旨在赞扬那种重视体育精神胜过比赛输赢的运动员。 C A friend of mine, in response to a conversation about the fairness and unfairness of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was told as a youngster: Life isn’t fair. It’s a bummer. I don’t really like it and it is not easy for me to accept, but fully true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others. We keep thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. However, the truth is life is not and it won’t be fair. One of the nice things about admitting (承认) this fact is that it stops us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with all we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect. It’s our own difficulty to overcome. Admitting this fact also stops us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand. Everyone has their own strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions. And everyone has those times that they feel cheated or unfairly treated. The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity (可怜) for others and for ourselves. Pity is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does nothing good for anyone. It only makes people feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel compassion for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that passes loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you take helpful actions and push you out of self-pity. 27. The underlined word “bummer” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A. good chance B. terrible fact C. necessary choice D. important lesson 28. According to the passage, who understands unfairness best? A. Lily stops feeling sorry and begins to do the very best she can. B. Sam feels angry about unfairness and keeps talking about it. C. Amy thinks life will be fair someday through her efforts. D. Derek keeps thinking life is unfair and feels sad about it. 29. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. emotions like compassion make us feel worse B. it’s our life’s job to make everything perfect C. unfairness stops us from taking helpful actions D. we should admit that life isn’t and it won’t be fair 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Is Life Unfair? B. Should We Accept Life Is Unfair? C. Can We Make Life Fair? D. What Does Fairness Mean? 【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述生活本就不公平，我们应当接纳这个事实，心怀同情并采取积极行动。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Life isn’t fair. It’s a bummer. I don’t really like it and it is not easy for me to accept, but fully true.”可知，生活不公平是一件糟糕的事，terrible fact符合词义。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the nice things about admitting this fact is that it stops us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with all we have.”可知，停止自怜、尽力做好自己能做的事，才是理解生活的不公。 【29题详解】 观点态度题。根据第二段“However, the truth is life is not and it won’t be fair.”以及全文观点可知，作者赞同我们应当承认生活不公平，并且永远不会公平。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章全文内容及最后一段“try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you take helpful actions”可知，文章核心在于探讨我们是否应该接受生活不公平的事实及其带来的积极影响，所以“Should We Accept Life Is Unfair?”最适合作为标题。 七、根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，第 44-46题每题2分，第47题4分） The pumpkin in Tony Scott’s backyard weighs as much as a small car. He’s been taking care of it for months, feeding it fertilizer (肥料) and covering it with a blanket at night to keep it at a fine temperature. “I’ve never seen anything grow this fast,” said Scott, a farmer from New York. He has a pumpkin patch covering about 50 acres (英亩). Every year, growers like Scott try their best to grow the biggest pumpkins. They take part in a weighing competition each year. Their pumpkins can weigh over 2,000 pounds (about 900 kilograms). This year, Scott’s pumpkin won third place, and he got $1,000 as a prize. Pumpkins aren’t the only vegetables that can get large. Other members of the vegetable family like cucumbers and watermelons can get large, too. But only pumpkins are especially large and have got a place of honor at fall festivals and Halloween markets. There are some important things to know when growing large pumpkins. Firstly, a large pumpkin starts with the perfect seed (种子). Growers choose seeds from big pumpkins. They also test new seeds. Besides, the right water, nutrients (营养物) and care are also needed to think about if people want to grow large pumpkins. Large pumpkins need lots of water in a day and make their own food from sunlight just like other plants do. Growers remove smaller pumpkins so all the water and nutrients get into a single fruit. “That helps make it especially big in a way you might not see in the wild,” said Alcea Borsuk, a plant scientist at the New York Botanical Garden. Scott’s pumpkin is also lighter in color because he covers it with a tarp (防水布) during the day, protecting it from sunlight. After the all-important weighing competition, Scott shows the large pumpkin at many events and drives it around on a trailer (拖车). At last, he gives it to the museum. On the way to events, he often gets stopped by people. They ask him some questions. The first question they ask is, “Is it real?” Scott answers, “Where would you buy a man-made pumpkin so big?” He is proud of growing such large pumpkins, and he realizes hard work pays off in the end. 31. What does the pumpkin in Tony Scott’s backyard weigh? _______________________________________________________ 32. What do people also need to think about if they want to grow large pumpkins? _______________________________________________________ 33. Why is Scott’s pumpkin lighter in color? _______________________________________________________ 34. What do you think of growing large pumpkins? Why? (At least 2 reasons) _______________________________________________________ 【答案】31. It weighs as much as a small car./As much as a small car. 32. The right water, nutrients and care./The right water, nutrients and care are also needed to think about. 33. Because he covers it with a tarp during the day, protecting it from sunlight. 34. I think growing large pumpkins is a challenging but rewarding hobby. Firstly, it requires a lot of knowledge and skills, such as selecting the right seeds, providing appropriate water and nutrients. Secondly, when successfully growing a large pumpkin, it can bring a great sense of achievement. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了托尼·斯科特后院的大南瓜以及种植大南瓜的相关情况。 【31题详解】 根据第一段“The pumpkin in Tony Scott’s backyard weighs as much as a small car.”可知，托尼·斯科特后院的南瓜和小汽车一样重。 【32题详解】 根据第三段“Besides, the right water, nutrients and care are also needed to think about if people want to grow large pumpkins.”可知，种植大南瓜还需要考虑合适的水、营养物和照料。 【33题详解】 根据第四段“Scott’s pumpkin is also lighter in color because he covers it with a tarp during the day, protecting it from sunlight.”可知，斯科特的南瓜颜色较浅是因为他白天用防水布盖住它以防日晒。 【34题详解】 本题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。可从种植大南瓜的挑战性、成就感等角度给出两个理由。 第四部分 书面表达（共15分） 八、完成句子（共5分，每空1分） 根据下面各题所给的中英文提示完成句子。每空只能填写一个单词。 35. 我不如他直率。 I am ________ straightforward than he is. 【答案】 less 【解析】 【详解】原句中“不如”是关键词，空格后有than表示比较，straightforward是多音节形容词，表达“不如……、更不……”的含义时，要在多音节形容词前加less构成降级比较级，正好对应题干“我不如他直率”的语义。故填less。 36. 蓝鲸是地球上最大的动物。 The blue whale is ________ ________ animal on earth. 【答案】 ①. the ②. largest 【解析】 【详解】原句中“最大的”是关键词，表示三者或三者以上中的“最大”，用形容词最高级。large的最高级为largest，形容词最高级前需加定冠词the，后接名词animal表示“动物”。 37. 我能挂起这些照片吗？没问题。 Can I ________ ________ these photos? No problem. 【答案】 ①. hang ②. up 【解析】 【详解】原句中“挂起”是关键词，“挂起”对应的动词短语为hang up，情态动词Can后接动词原形，故填hang；up。 九、文段表达（10分） 题目① 38. 根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于80词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Peter对假期旅行很感兴趣，来信请你分享一次难忘的假期经历（An unforgettable holiday experience）。请你给他回信，介绍你的一次经历和收获。 提示词：fresh, scenery, buildings, explore, fantastic, respect, 提示问题： 1.

In high school, students still learn important life lessons through sports. Here, sportsmen still work hard for the love of the game and for their team. Lisa Kincaid is one of them. I first met Lisa on the volleyball playground. If anyone should feel proud, it is Lisa. She was not only one of the best volleyball players, but also became a legend (传奇人物) in running. She took part in sixty-four races and never lost. However, she felt uneasy when people talked about her success. She would usually change the conversation to other people’s experiences. She often lent her shoes to someone who had forgotten hers, or wished the best for sportsmen from other teams. Soon after, Lisa’s surprising “loss” in one race surprised me a lot. Lisa’s coach told her that he needed her to run the mile (一英里赛跑). She had never run that race before, but she agreed to do it for the team. Another runner, Jane, was also running. She had gotten special training for the mile and had a good record. On the last lap, all the runners began to speed up. Then, suddenly Jane fell down. Lisa could have run past her to win, but she stopped. “Get up, Jane! You can do it!” she shouted. Just a few seconds later, Jane got up and went on the race. They got to the finishing line (终点线) almost at the same time. Jane finished first, while Lisa came second. It was Lisa’s first time not winning first place in her running life. People cheered for her act of sportsmanship. After the race, Lisa said, “I didn’t want to win that way.” Later, Jane hugged Lisa and tried to give the medal (奖牌) to her. However, Lisa refused and said, “Keep it. I just did what I should do. You won the prize with your own effort.” On that day, Lisa missed a win, but she showed me another kind of success. 24. How did Lisa feel when people talked about her success? A. Proud. B. Surprised. C. Unconfident. D. Uncomfortable. 25. Why did Lisa “lose” the running race at last? A. Because she made a mistake at the end. B. Because she stopped to encourage Jane. C. Because she was not good at running the mile. D. Because she was tired so she couldn’t run faster at the end. 26. According to the passage, the writer hopes to ________. A. compare high school sportsmen with famous ones B. explain how to get the first place in high school C. show that losing a game is a bad thing for everyone D. admire a runner who thinks sportsmanship is more important than winning C A friend of mine, in response to a conversation about the fairness and unfairness of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was told as a youngster: Life isn’t fair. It’s a bummer. I don’t really like it and it is not easy for me to accept, but fully true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others. We keep thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. However, the truth is life is not and it won’t be fair. One of the nice things about admitting (承认) this fact is that it stops us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with all we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect. It’s our own difficulty to overcome. Admitting this fact also stops us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand. Everyone has their own strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions. And everyone has those times that they feel cheated or unfairly treated. The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity (可怜) for others and for ourselves. Pity is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does nothing good for anyone. It only makes people feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel compassion for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that passes loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you take helpful actions and push you out of self-pity. 27. The underlined word “bummer” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A. good chance B. terrible fact C. necessary choice D. important lesson 28. According to the passage, who understands unfairness best? A. Lily stops feeling sorry and begins to do the very best she can. B. Sam feels angry about unfairness and keeps talking about it. C. Amy thinks life will be fair someday through her efforts. D. Derek keeps thinking life is unfair and feels sad about it. 29. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. emotions like compassion make us feel worse B. it’s our life’s job to make everything perfect C. unfairness stops us from taking helpful actions D. we should admit that life isn’t and it won’t be fair 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Is Life Unfair? B. Should We Accept Life Is Unfair? C. Can We Make Life Fair? D. What Does Fairness Mean? 七、根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，第 44-46题每题2分，第47题4分） The pumpkin in Tony Scott’s backyard weighs as much as a small car. He’s been taking care of it for months, feeding it fertilizer (肥料) and covering it with a blanket at night to keep it at a fine temperature. “I’ve never seen anything grow this fast,” said Scott, a farmer from New York. He has a pumpkin patch covering about 50 acres (英亩). Every year, growers like Scott try their best to grow the biggest pumpkins. They take part in a weighing competition each year. Their pumpkins can weigh over 2,000 pounds (about 900 kilograms). This year, Scott’s pumpkin won third place, and he got $1,000 as a prize. Pumpkins aren’t the only vegetables that can get large. Other members of the vegetable family like cucumbers and watermelons can get large, too. But only pumpkins are especially large and have got a place of honor at fall festivals and Halloween markets. There are some important things to know when growing large pumpkins. Firstly, a large pumpkin starts with the perfect seed (种子). Growers choose seeds from big pumpkins. They also test new seeds. Besides, the right water, nutrients (营养物) and care are also needed to think about if people want to grow large pumpkins. Large pumpkins need lots of water in a day and make their own food from sunlight just like other plants do. Growers remove smaller pumpkins so all the water and nutrients get into a single fruit. “That helps make it especially big in a way you might not see in the wild,” said Alcea Borsuk, a plant scientist at the New York Botanical Garden. Scott’s pumpkin is also lighter in color because he covers it with a tarp (防水布) during the day, protecting it from sunlight. After the all-important weighing competition, Scott shows the large pumpkin at many events and drives it around on a trailer (拖车). At last, he gives it to the museum. On the way to events, he often gets stopped by people. They ask him some questions. The first question they ask is, “Is it real?” Scott answers, “Where would you buy a man-made pumpkin so big?” He is proud of growing such large pumpkins, and he realizes hard work pays off in the end. 31.

What do people also need to think about if they want to grow large pumpkins? _______________________________________________________ 33.
