A. amazing; amazed B. amazed; amazing C. amazing; amazing D. amazed; amazed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：游客们被令人惊叹的书法艺术所震撼。 amazed感到惊讶的（常修饰人）；amazing令人惊讶的（常修饰物）。第一空主语是“tourists”，表示人的感受，用amazed；第二空修饰“calligraphy art”，表示事物的特征，用amazing。因此选B。 4.

A. surely B. smoothly C. slowly D. sadly 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：人生的道路从来不是一帆风顺的，因为它充满了起起落落。 surely肯定地；smoothly顺利地；slowly慢地；sadly悲伤地。根据“since it is full of ups and downs”可知，人生充满起伏，不会一直顺利。 5.

A. listening B. to listen C. listening to D. to listen to 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得这个演讲怎么样？——它值得一听。 be worth doing意为“值得做某事”，worth后接动名词。listen是不及物动词，接宾语时需加介词to。此处指听演讲，to不可省略。应填listening to。 9. — ________ you ________ your homework since 8 o’clock last night? — Yes.

The harder; the more 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：你为马拉松训练得越刻苦，你在跑步速度上取得的进步就会越大。 考查比较级结构。the more harder形式错误，more不可修饰比较级harder；the hardest最刻苦的，最高级；the most最多的，最高级；the harder越刻苦，比较级；the more越多，比较级。分析句子可知，此处构成“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越……越……”。故选D。 11.

We have so much homework to do. A. That’s amazing B. That’s impossible C. Nice idea D.

It was so ____18____. He couldn’t help thinking what it would be like ____19____ he tried to make one himself.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了糖人艺人熊传发20多年坚持传承传统手艺，并指导外国留学生体验吹糖人的故事，表达了将中国文化传播到世界的美好愿望。 【16题详解】 句意：每天早上，熊开车到万寿宫附近，那是江西南昌最受欢迎的街区之一。 根据后文“Xiong drives to areas near Wanshou Palace”及他每天在此摆摊可知，这里是“受欢迎的”街区，应用popular。special“特别的”，creative“有创意的”，educational“有教育意义的”，均不如popular贴合人流聚集、吸引顾客的繁华地段特征。 【17题详解】 句意：“许多人对这个感兴趣，尤其是孩子们，”熊说。 根据后文“especially kids”及“they don’t see it often”可知，人们对吹糖人“感兴趣”，应用are interested in。are proud of“为……骄傲”，are full of“充满”，are tired of“厌倦”，均不符合人们对传统手艺的好奇与喜爱。 【18题详解】 句意：它是如此逼真。 根据前文“Simon...lost himself in a sugar Monkey King at Xiong’s stall”可知，Simon被摊位上的糖人孙悟空深深吸引，说明这个糖人做得非常“逼真、栩栩如生”，应用real。soft“柔软的”和sweet“甜的”虽然符合糖人的物理属性，但无法解释Simon“看得出神（lost himself in）”的专注反应；ugly“丑陋的”与语境相反。 【19题详解】 句意：他忍不住想，如果自己试着做一个会是什么样。 此处表示假设条件“如果”，应用if引导条件状语从句。unless“除非”，because“因为”，although“虽然”，均不符合假设尝试制作糖人的语境。 【20题详解】 句意：在熊的帮助下，Simon终于看到一匹马在他眼前逐渐成形。 根据后文“a horse gradually taking shape in front of his eyes”可知，Simon“看到”糖人马逐渐成形，应用saw。wrote“写”，rode“骑”，tied“系”，均不符合亲眼见证糖人制作过程的描述。 【21题详解】 句意：熊经常在大学附近展示他的技艺，以吸引年轻人亲近传统艺术。 根据前文描述熊吹糖人的过程及后文“to draw the young closer to the traditional art”可知，他在展示自己的“技艺”，应用skills。grades“成绩”，secrets“秘密”，rules“规则”，均不符合吹糖人这一传统手艺的表述。 【22题详解】 句意：正因如此，他乐于让他们体验它的魅力。 根据前文“draw the young closer to the traditional art”可知，熊希望年轻人亲身“体验”糖人的魅力，应用experience。expect“期待”，explain“解释”，express“表达”，均不符合让年轻人亲身参与传统艺术的语境。 【23题详解】 句意：熊说吹糖人可以追溯到明朝，他的家族已经做了四代人了。 根据后文“for four generations (代)”可知，此处指他的“家族”四代传承这门手艺，应用family。group“团体”，company“公司”，country“国家”，均不符合“四代人传承”的血缘传承语境。 【24题详解】 句意：“中国的每一种传统民间艺术都应该有未来，像我们这样的人在这里确保这一点，”他补充道。 根据后文“people like us are here to make sure of that”及熊师傅坚持传承的行为可知，传统艺术应该有“未来”，应用future。pity“遗憾”，hobby“爱好”，secret“秘密”，均不符合传承传统艺术、使其延续下去的积极主旨。 【25题详解】 句意：它们是中国文化的象征。它们应该传播到世界各地。 根据后文“I hope that one day the rest of the world can enjoy it too”可知，中国文化应该“传播”到世界各地，应用spread。caught“抓住”，held“举办”，spoken“说”，均不符合文化向外传播、被世界了解的语境。 四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） 阅读下面的材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you ready to start managing your money? Then you need to make a plan, called a budget. In your budget, you will record the money that you get, earn, spend and save. Here’s how a budget works. Cassie did housework around the house and got pocket money. Sometimes, she also earned money by helping people in the neighborhood. Cassie hadn’t been able to save any money, and she wanted to buy a guitar. She did not know where all her money went. So she asked her parents for help — setting up a budget. Here are the steps she followed. She wrote down the money she earned in the first week. Money Earned Pocket money ............ $5.00 Do housework .................... $4.00 Be a mother’s helper…$5.00 Total (总计) .................... $14.00 Whenever Cassie spent money, she wrote down how much she spent. Money Spent Movies ........................ $5.00 Pizza ............................ $2.90 Snacks ........................ $2.00 Total (总计) ...................... $13.10 Magazines ..................... $3.20 At the end of the first week, she looked it over. Then she found that she had spent too much money. So she looked for ways to spend less and save more. She decided to bring snacks from home. She also decided that she would see if another family in the neighbourhood needed a mother’s helper. Over the next few months, Cassie’s budget helped her reach her goal.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了女孩Cassie为了买吉他，在父母帮助下制定预算，记录收入和支出、寻找省钱方法，最终攒够钱买吉他的故事。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段“Cassie did housework around the house and got pocket money.”和第三段表格中“Be a mother’s helper…$5.00”指出，Cassie通过做家务、当妈妈的帮手等方式赚钱；文中没有提到送报纸（sending newspapers）。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。文章第四段表格中“Movies…$5.00”“Pizza…$2.90”“Snacks…$2.00”“Magazines…$3.20”指出，第一周Cassie在电影上花了5美元，是各项支出中最多的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段表格“Total (总计)…$14.00”指出，第一周收入14美元；第四段表格“Total (总计)…$13.10”指出，第一周支出13.10美元。14-13.10=0.90，即90美分。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。文章第四段第一句“Whenever Cassie spent money, she wrote down how much she spent.”指出，Cassie每次花钱都会记下花了多少。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。文章第一段第二句“Then you need to make a plan, called a budget.”引出预算话题；第二至五段讲述Cassie在父母帮助下制定预算、记录收支、寻找省钱方法；最后一段写预算帮助她实现买吉他的目标。因此文章主要讲的是制定预算。B选项“Setting Up a Budget”最能概括全文主旨。故选B。 B Old wives’ tales are pieces of advice that are supposed to solve common problems such as the medical ones or some problems at home. They are usually passed down through talking, and there are only a few having been written down. Some of them sound ridiculous and have no scientific meaning at all, just like jokes, while others are more reasonable, which are realized to be true. Often, old wives’ tales take the form of warnings and are a way to prevent poor behavior in children. For example, “Eating candy before bedtime brings you bad dreams” is a common old wives’ tale that was probably thought up to stop children from eating too many unhealthy snacks. Similarly, “If you’ve been lying, your nose will be longer” is a trick trying to get naughty children to tell the truth. Other old wives’ tales want to give advice about how to keep away from illnesses. “If you go outside with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold” is an old wives’ tale that’s still commonly heard today. However, colds are not caused by cold weather or wet hair. Instead, they are caused by viruses (病毒). “Feed a cold, starve a fever” means that you should eat plenty of food when you have a cold, but not eat when you have a fever. This piece probably comes from the fact that people with a fever usually lose their appetite (胃口) anyway. Medical science has found that the body stops eating much when you have a fever because little food makes your immune system (免疫系统) fight bacterial infections (细菌感染), while eating a little more makes your immune system fight against viruses, like colds. There are hundreds of old wives’ tales. Although there may be truth in a few of them, if you hear one, it’s best not to take it too seriously. 31. What are old wives’ tales usually passed down by? A. By books B. By talking C. By TV shows D. By newspapers 32. What does the underlined word “ridiculous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Painful B. Silly. C. Helpful. D. Believable. 33. According to the passage, what causes a cold? A. Wet hair B. Cold weather C. Viruses D. Bacterial infections 34. Which of the following may be a reason for telling old wives’ tales? A. To stop the kid from a bad habit. B. To get the baby to fall asleep quickly. C. To find the medicine for an illness. D. To give friends advice on relationships. 35. What can we know about the old wives’ tales? A. We should take most of them seriously. B. Some are explanations of illnesses. C. Most of them can be found in the books. D. They are all true. 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“民间老话”的定义、传播方式、存在目的（如约束儿童行为、提供健康建议）以及部分老话背后的科学真相，最后建议人们理性看待这类说法。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They are usually passed down through talking”可知民间老话通常是通过口头交谈传播的。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“have no scientific meaning at all, just like jokes”可知该词意为荒谬可笑的，与Silly意义相近。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, they are caused by viruses”可知感冒是由病毒引起的，得出答案为Viruses。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“are a way to prevent poor behavior in children”可知讲述老话是为了阻止孩子养成坏习惯。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Other old wives'tales want to give advice about how to keep away from illnesses”可知部分老话是关于疾病的建议或解释。 C For thousands of years, the mystery (奥秘) of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert (沙漠) has left scientists scratching their heads (感到困惑), but now they think they’ve found the answer. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones (石头) and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 metres wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging (挑战性的) desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! 36. What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A. How the pyramids were built in the desert. B. How many pyramids there were in Egypt. C. When the pyramids were discovered. D. Who built the pyramids. 37. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The huge desert. B. The waterway nearby. C. The special technology. D. The Great Pyramid of Giza. 38. What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A. To keep the pyramids wet. B. To water fields near the pyramids. C. To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. D. To transport stones and tools to build the pyramids. 39. What does the name “Ahramat” mean? A. River. B. Desert. C. Pyramids. D. Sandstorms. 40. What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the discovery. B. Why ancient Egyptians were clever. C. The new development of technology. D. How difficult it was to build the pyramids. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍科学家通过研究发现古埃及人曾利用消失的尼罗河支流运输材料建造金字塔，解开了沙漠建金字塔的谜团。 【36题详解】 第一段指出：“the mystery of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert has left scientists scratching their heads, but now they think they’ve found the answer.”，这说明科学家解开了金字塔如何在沙漠中建造的谜团。 【37题详解】 第三段提到：“scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim...says nobody was certain about the location of it.”，科学家们认为古埃及人在附近使用了一条水道，但埃曼·古奈姆说没有人确定它的位置，这里的“it”指代前文提到的附近的水道。 【38题详解】 第四段说明：“They believe this was used to transport heavy stones and tools to build the pyramids.”，这条隐藏的尼罗河支流被用来运输建造金字塔的石头和工具。 【39题详解】 第五段指出：“This hidden part of the River Nile is called ‘Ahramat’, which means ‘pyramids’ in the Arabic language.”，Ahramat在阿拉伯语中意为金字塔。 【40题详解】 最后一段阐述：“discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging desert place.”，作者在本段表明这项发现的重要意义。 五、补全对话（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 根据对话内容，从选项内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 A: Hello, Wang Lu!

There are also some elements (元素) of nature that represent (代表) one thing to one culture, and something else to another. The word “bat” in Chinese (“fu”) has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character meaning “luck, happiness and fortune”. Therefore, images of bats are often symbols of good luck in China. They are also appreciated (被欣赏、被喜爱) for their ability to catch insects (昆虫). However, in Western cultures, bats are connected with darkness and evil. Because of its ugly appearance and terrible call, the owl (猫头鹰) was for long seen as a symbol of bad luck in China. So owls were used in poetry to represent evil. A poem in the Classic of Poetry, for example, has been written in the tone of a frightened bird being bullied (欺负) by an owl. Owl, owl, as you have already taken my child, Don’t destroy my nest (巢). Yet in Western cultures, the owl is often considered as a symbol of wisdom (智慧). Athena, the goddess of wisdom of ancient Greek mythology (神话), often transforms into an owl. And in the popular “Harry Potter” series, the owl is a wise and helpful bird. 51. In Chinese and Western cultures, ______________ have different symbolic meanings. 52. Images of bats are often symbols of ______________ in China. 53. In Western cultures, bats ______________ darkness and evil. 54. A poem in the Classic of Poetry has been written in the tone of ______________ being bullied by an owl. 55. In the popular “Harry Potter” series, the owl is a ______________ bird. 【答案】51. plants and animals 52. good luck 53. are connected with 54. a frightened bird 55. wise and helpful 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述中西方文化中动植物具有不同的象征意义，以及蝙蝠和猫头鹰在两种文化中的不同象征。 【51题详解】 第一段“In Chinese and Western cultures, plants and animals have different symbolic meanings.”指出在中国和西方文化中，植物和动物具有不同的象征意义，题目句子缺少主语，应填“plants and animals”。 【52题详解】 第一段“images of bats are often symbols of good luck in China”，蝙蝠在中国常是好运的象征，应填“good luck”。 【53题详解】 第一段“However, in Western cultures, bats are connected with darkness and evil.”说明在西方文化中蝙蝠与黑暗和邪恶相联系，即“bats are connected with darkness and evil”，应填“are connected with”。 【54题详解】 第二段“A poem in the Classic of Poetry, for example, has been written in the tone of a frightened bird being bullied (欺负) by an owl”提到《诗经》中的一首诗以一只受惊的小鸟被猫头鹰欺负的口吻写成，应填“a frightened bird”。 【55题详解】 第二段“And in the popular ‘Harry Potter’ series, the owl is a wise and helpful bird.”说明在《哈利·波特》系列中，猫头鹰是一只聪明且有帮助的鸟，应填“wise and helpful”。 八、综合填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 The Grand Canal (大运河) is a man-made waterway that runs north and south in eastern China.

In your budget, you will record the money that you get, earn, spend and save. Here’s how a budget works. Cassie did housework around the house and got pocket money. Sometimes, she also earned money by helping people in the neighborhood. Cassie hadn’t been able to save any money, and she wanted to buy a guitar. She did not know where all her money went. So she asked her parents for help — setting up a budget. Here are the steps she followed. She wrote down the money she earned in the first week. Money Earned Pocket money ............ $5.00 Do housework .................... $4.00 Be a mother’s helper…$5.00 Total (总计) .................... $14.00 Whenever Cassie spent money, she wrote down how much she spent. Money Spent Movies ........................ $5.00 Pizza ............................ $2.90 Snacks ........................ $2.00 Total (总计) ...................... $13.10 Magazines ..................... $3.20 At the end of the first week, she looked it over. Then she found that she had spent too much money. So she looked for ways to spend less and save more. She decided to bring snacks from home. She also decided that she would see if another family in the neighbourhood needed a mother’s helper. Over the next few months, Cassie’s budget helped her reach her goal. She saved enough to buy a guitar. Now she needs to save for guitar lessons! 26. In order to buy a guitar, Cassie earned money in many ways except ________.

How to spend money B Old wives’ tales are pieces of advice that are supposed to solve common problems such as the medical ones or some problems at home. They are usually passed down through talking, and there are only a few having been written down. Some of them sound ridiculous and have no scientific meaning at all, just like jokes, while others are more reasonable, which are realized to be true. Often, old wives’ tales take the form of warnings and are a way to prevent poor behavior in children. For example, “Eating candy before bedtime brings you bad dreams” is a common old wives’ tale that was probably thought up to stop children from eating too many unhealthy snacks. Similarly, “If you’ve been lying, your nose will be longer” is a trick trying to get naughty children to tell the truth. Other old wives’ tales want to give advice about how to keep away from illnesses. “If you go outside with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold” is an old wives’ tale that’s still commonly heard today. However, colds are not caused by cold weather or wet hair. Instead, they are caused by viruses (病毒). “Feed a cold, starve a fever” means that you should eat plenty of food when you have a cold, but not eat when you have a fever. This piece probably comes from the fact that people with a fever usually lose their appetite (胃口) anyway. Medical science has found that the body stops eating much when you have a fever because little food makes your immune system (免疫系统) fight bacterial infections (细菌感染), while eating a little more makes your immune system fight against viruses, like colds. There are hundreds of old wives’ tales. Although there may be truth in a few of them, if you hear one, it’s best not to take it too seriously. 31. What are old wives’ tales usually passed down by? A. By books B. By talking C. By TV shows D. By newspapers 32. What does the underlined word “ridiculous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Painful B. Silly. C. Helpful. D. Believable. 33. According to the passage, what causes a cold? A. Wet hair B. Cold weather C. Viruses D. Bacterial infections 34. Which of the following may be a reason for telling old wives’ tales? A. To stop the kid from a bad habit. B. To get the baby to fall asleep quickly. C. To find the medicine for an illness. D. To give friends advice on relationships. 35. What can we know about the old wives’ tales? A. We should take most of them seriously. B. Some are explanations of illnesses. C. Most of them can be found in the books. D. They are all true. C For thousands of years, the mystery (奥秘) of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert (沙漠) has left scientists scratching their heads (感到困惑), but now they think they’ve found the answer. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones (石头) and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 metres wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging (挑战性的) desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! 36. What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A. How the pyramids were built in the desert. B. How many pyramids there were in Egypt. C. When the pyramids were discovered. D. Who built the pyramids. 37. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The huge desert. B. The waterway nearby. C. The special technology. D. The Great Pyramid of Giza. 38. What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A. To keep the pyramids wet. B. To water fields near the pyramids. C. To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. D. To transport stones and tools to build the pyramids. 39. What does the name “Ahramat” mean? A. River. B. Desert. C. Pyramids. D. Sandstorms. 40. What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the discovery. B. Why ancient Egyptians were clever. C. The new development of technology. D. How difficult it was to build the pyramids. 五、补全对话（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 根据对话内容，从选项内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 A: Hello, Wang Lu! I’m so excited for the weekend. Do you have any plans?

There are also some elements (元素) of nature that represent (代表) one thing to one culture, and something else to another. The word “bat” in Chinese (“fu”) has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character meaning “luck, happiness and fortune”. Therefore, images of bats are often symbols of good luck in China. They are also appreciated (被欣赏、被喜爱) for their ability to catch insects (昆虫). However, in Western cultures, bats are connected with darkness and evil. Because of its ugly appearance and terrible call, the owl (猫头鹰) was for long seen as a symbol of bad luck in China. So owls were used in poetry to represent evil. A poem in the Classic of Poetry, for example, has been written in the tone of a frightened bird being bullied (欺负) by an owl. Owl, owl, as you have already taken my child, Don’t destroy my nest (巢). Yet in Western cultures, the owl is often considered as a symbol of wisdom (智慧). Athena, the goddess of wisdom of ancient Greek mythology (神话), often transforms into an owl. And in the popular “Harry Potter” series, the owl is a wise and helpful bird. 51. In Chinese and Western cultures, ______________ have different symbolic meanings. 52.
