The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer.
“But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet.”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret (后悔). But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.” And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
— The Little Prince
36. What was the little prince doing?
A. He was travelling around planets. B. He was getting ready for a book.
C. He was sharing his experiences. D. He was searching for flowers.
37. What does the word “ephemeral” mean in the passage?

C. Important and valuable. D. Lasting for a long time.
38. From the passage, we can know________.
A. the old man travelled to many other planets B. the old man got information from explorers
C. the little prince knew the sixth planet very well D. the little prince left his flower on the planet Earth
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.
39. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet?
A. Twenty. B. Twenty-three. C. Twenty-six. D. Twenty-nine.
40. 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
41. 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
Did you run out of coffee or tea? Find no eggs in the fridge and the nearest shop is too far away? Well, all that can change in the future.
If all goes well, smart kitchens will soon help solve (解决) all your problems. The kitchen of the future will help plan your menu for the day. Worried about your weight? It will tell you the right diet and what is good for your health. It will even keep in mind your likes and dislikes!
If you are not good at cooking, the smart kitchen will download (下载) the diet from the internet after checking the ingredients (配料) in the fridge. The computer system (系统) will spell out the ingredients that the diet says each dish needs and tell you how to mix them! Want to make the rich, creamy chocolate cake? The kind that your mother or grandmother makes? You have it.
With the help of the kitchen’s computer system, this smart kitchen will keep an eye on your fridge. So what happens if the fridge is empty like Old Mother Hubbard’s? The kitchen will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket.
42. What is the correct order of the following things the smart kitchen does?
①It spells out the ingredients needed for each dish.
②It tells you how to mix them.
③It downloads the diet from the internet.
④It checks the ingredients in the fridge.
A. ④③①② B. ①②③④ C. ②④③① D. ③①②④
43. Which of the following about the smart kitchen is NOT mentioned (提到) in the passage?
A. It can help you plan your menu for the day.
B. It can help you make the rich, creamy chocolate cake.
C. It can clean the fridge in time.
D. It can remember your favourite foods.
44. The underlined word “automatically” means “________”.
A. in secret B. on the phone
C. by itself D. again and again
45. If you run out of coffee in a smart kitchen, what will happen?
A. You will have to go to the nearest shop yourself.
B. The computer system will spell out what you need.
C. The kitchen can place an order at the local supermarket.
D. The kitchen can give advice on how to buy coffee.

请阅读下面语篇,根据其内容,从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。
Is there anywhere more important than home? Home makes us feel safe. We use the word “home” in many English expressions (表达). That shows how important the home is to us.
If our homes are safe and happy, when we get back to them, we might say, “____46____” This is just like what Dorothy says in the film The Wizard of Oz. This means there isn’t anywhere else that is as good as home.
However, if we feel quite comfortable and homely somewhere, we could say we feel “at home”. ____47____ We can also feel at home in a new job or feel at home with someone—meaning we feel comfortable with them.
Or as a famous singer sang, “____48____” This means that home is a place where we show love for our family and we feel loved.
____49____ Scoring a home run (打出本垒打) in baseball is a very common one. When a team, a person or an animal succeeds in doing something at last, we say they are “home and dry”. In Australia and New Zealand, people say “home and hosed”. ____50____ They both mean the job is finished.
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. There’s no place like home.
C. We also use “home” expressions in sport.
D. These two expressions have the same meaning.
E. Home is always the place that we need to clean up.
F. This could be at school, another house or in a holiday hotel.

relax between make city because idea active long provide enjoyable
In China, schools usually have a 10-minute break ____51____ classes. Sometimes, students can’t go outside for safety, which means they might not get enough outdoor time. But some ____52____ are changing that.
Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao have made breaks 5 minutes ____53____ than before to help students get more exercise and fresh air. In Beijing, this hasn’t changed the school day much for younger kids, but middle school students finish a bit later.

Do you have trouble remembering English words? Many learners repeat words hundreds of times but s____61____ forget them quickly. Psychologists and English teachers share a science-backed memory method: spaced repetition.
Spaced repetition means reviewing (复习) words at increasing time gaps. For example, after l____62____ a new word today, review it tomorrow, then three days later, then one week later, then two weeks later. This way f____63____ our brain’s forgetting rule. According to the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, without review, our brains forget about 50% of new information within a(n) h____64____, and 70% within a day, so early review stops fast forgetting. Later, longer gaps help lock words into long-term memory.
Many students make a common mistake: cramming (死记硬背) lots of new words in one night before e____65____. Short-time heavy memorization only creates short-term memory. You may remember words for one day, b____66____ they will disappear soon after tests. Spaced repetition takes small efforts instead of crazy last-minute cramming.
Here is a simple way to practice it. P____67____ a small notebook. Write new words, Chinese meanings and sample sentences on one side of cards. Divide cards into three groups. Group 1: newly learned words (review next day). Group 2: words reviewed o____68____ (review in three days). Group 3: words reviewed twice (review in seven days). Move cards between groups according to review results. If you can’t recall a word, put it back to Group 1 and restart the cycle.
Lots of students in Nanjing t____69____ this method last term. A survey showed their average word test scores rose 15 points in two months. “It was hard for me to memorize words, but now it becomes much b____70____,” said one Grade Eight student. This method also works for grammar points, historical dates and biology knowledge.
六、读写综合(25分)
A. 回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。
Asking people to a party is an art. You must think about what kind of party you’re going to have first. If it is a small party you can just give a call to your friends and ask them to the party. You can even e-mail them or just leave a message for them.
Now, calling someone is an art, too. First, give a call to your friend, and then begin the talk by asking them about their lives and family. Ask them about their schedules on the day of the party. If they say they are free, you can ask them to the party directly (直接地). If the friend is not free, then ask him or her to try to find time for your party.
If you’re going to have a big party, and need to ask lots of people to your party, you must decide how many people you want at your party. Then you can write a list of them and send them beautiful invitation cards because you may not have so much time to give them a call each. You must send the cards a few days before the party so that they can have enough time to prepare for it.

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在八年级学习物理的经历。起初因不懂而紧张,后来通过制定计划、认真听讲和练习,逐渐爱上物理的过程。
【26题详解】
句意:在最初几节课,我感到相当紧张,因为我对它一无所知。
根据“because I didn’t know anything about it”可知,面对一无所知的学科,感到紧张符合逻辑,用“nervous”。lucky“幸运的”,happy“开心的”,confident“自信的”逻辑不符。
【27题详解】
句意:我意识到学习物理需要我付出努力。
根据“make an effort”可知,学习过程需要努力,require sb to do sth意为“要求某人做某事”,符合语境,用“required”。cheated“欺骗”,lent“借”,broke“打破”语意不通。
【28题详解】
句意:首先,我为这门学科设计了学习计划。
根据“study plans”可知,计划通常是被制定或设计的,用“designed”。pulled“拉”,paid“支付”,beat“打败”与计划搭配不当。
【29题详解】
句意:按时完成物理作业是我每天的第一项任务。
根据“Finishing my physics homework”可知,完成作业属于日常学习任务,用“task”。talent“天赋”,type“类型”,tie“领带”语意不通。
【30题详解】
句意:其次,我在课堂上认真听老师讲课。
根据“listened to the teacher”可知,学生在课堂上应当认真听讲,用“carefully”。weakly“虚弱地”,loudly“大声地”,fairly“公平地”不符合学习场景且语意不通。
【31题详解】
句意:当老师解释新概念时,我做笔记,如果不理解的话,我会问问题。
固定搭配“take notes”意为“做笔记”,符合上课记录概念的情境,用“notes”。scores“分数”,models“模型”,baskets“篮子”语意不通。
【32题详解】
句意:如果我犯了错,我也可以把它们写在笔记本上。
根据“in my notebooks”可知,在笔记本上记录错误应是写下内容,用“write them down”。turn them down“拒绝它们”,put them out“熄灭它们”,hold them out“伸出它们”语意不通。
【33题详解】
句意:最后但同样重要的是,我多加练习。
固定短语“Last but not least”意为“最后但同样重要”,是常用结尾语,用“least”。best“最好”,worst“最坏”,most“最多”无此搭配。
【34题详解】
句意:虽然物理有些部分很难,但当我多练习时,它们变得更容易了。
根据“hard”和“easier”可知,前后句意存在转折让步关系,Although符合逻辑,用“Although”。Until“直到”,When“当……时”,Because“因为”逻辑不符。
【35题详解】
句意:现在,我把物理视为一门非常棒的学科。
固定搭配“consider...as...”意为“把……视作……”,符合作者对物理看法的转变,用“consider”。chat“聊天”,copy“复制”,compare“比较”语意不通。

A
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer.
“But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet.”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret (后悔). But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.” And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
— The Little Prince

【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章开头“The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one.”以及结尾“What place would you advise me to visit now?”可知,小王子正在不同的星球之间旅行。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据地理学家所说的“It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”可知,该词意为“不会持续很长时间”,即“短暂存在的”。

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.
39. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet?
A. Twenty. B. Twenty-three. C. Twenty-six. D. Twenty-nine.
40. 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
41. 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】39. D 40. B 41. 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。
【39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。
【40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。
【41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。

D. The kitchen can give advice on how to buy coffee.
【答案】42. A 43. C 44. C 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍未来的智能厨房。它可以规划每日食谱、兼顾饮食健康;核对冰箱食材后网上下载菜谱指导做菜;还能监控冰箱存货,自动向超市下单购物。
【42题详解】
根据第三段“the smart kitchen will download (下载) the diet from the internet after checking the ingredients (配料) in the fridge. The computer system (系统) will spell out the ingredients that the diet says each dish needs and tell you how to mix them!”可知,先检查冰箱食材→下载食谱→列出每道菜食材→告诉你如何调配,对应顺序④③①②。
【43题详解】
根据第二段第二句“help plan your menu for the day”、第五句“keep in mind your likes and dislikes”及第三段第三句“make the rich, creamy chocolate cake”可知,它可以帮你规划每日食谱、记住你喜爱的食物以及帮你制作浓郁丝滑巧克力蛋糕, 没有提及清理冰箱。
【44题详解】
根据第四段第二句“keep an eye on your fridge”和第三句“will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket.”可知,冰箱空了,它会“自动”打电话和下订单,对应by itself“自行地”。
【45题详解】
根据第四段第二、三句“… if the fridge is empty…The kitchen will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket.”可知,东西用完了,它会向当地超市下单。

Is there anywhere more important than home? Home makes us feel safe. We use the word “home” in many English expressions (表达). That shows how important the home is to us.
If our homes are safe and happy, when we get back to them, we might say, “____46____” This is just like what Dorothy says in the film The Wizard of Oz. This means there isn’t anywhere else that is as good as home.
However, if we feel quite comfortable and homely somewhere, we could say we feel “at home”. ____47____ We can also feel at home in a new job or feel at home with someone—meaning we feel comfortable with them.
Or as a famous singer sang, “____48____” This means that home is a place where we show love for our family and we feel loved.
____49____ Scoring a home run (打出本垒打) in baseball is a very common one. When a team, a person or an animal succeeds in doing something at last, we say they are “home and dry”. In Australia and New Zealand, people say “home and hosed”. ____50____ They both mean the job is finished.
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. There’s no place like home.
C. We also use “home” expressions in sport.
D. These two expressions have the same meaning.

【解析】
【导语】本文围绕含有home的英语表达展开,介绍了多个和home相关的英文习语及其含义,让读者了解home在英语表达里的重要意义。
【46题详解】
根据后文“This means there isn’t anywhere else that is as good as home. This is just like what Dorothy says in the film The Wizard of Oz.”可知,这句话表达没有地方比得上家,所以B项“There’s no place like home.”承接后文解释,符合语境。
【47题详解】
根据前文“if we feel quite comfortable and homely somewhere, we could say we feel ‘at home’.”可知,这里介绍feel“at home”的含义,F项“This could be at school, another house or in a holiday hotel.”举例说明能让人感觉自在的场所,与该部分内容契合。
【48题详解】
根据后文“This means that home is a place where we show love for our family and we feel loved.”可知,这句话表达家是心灵所在、充满爱的地方,A项“Home is where the heart is.”承接后文解释,符合语境。
【49题详解】
根据后文“Scoring a home run (打出本垒打) in baseball is a very common one.”可知,下文介绍体育运动中和home相关的表达,C项“We also use ‘home’ expressions in sport.”总起本段,引出下文例子,衔接自然。
【50题详解】
根据前文“When a team, a person or an animal succeeds in doing something at last, we say they are ‘home and dry’. In Australia and New Zealand, people say “home and hosed”.”以及后文“They both mean the job is finished.”可知,这里介绍两个同义短语,D项“These two expressions have the same meaning.”说明两个表达含义相同,符合文意。

Do you have trouble remembering English words? Many learners repeat words hundreds of times but s____61____ forget them quickly. Psychologists and English teachers share a science-backed memory method: spaced repetition.
Spaced repetition means reviewing (复习) words at increasing time gaps. For example, after l____62____ a new word today, review it tomorrow, then three days later, then one week later, then two weeks later. This way f____63____ our brain’s forgetting rule. According to the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, without review, our brains forget about 50% of new information within a(n) h____64____, and 70% within a day, so early review stops fast forgetting.

【63题详解】
句意:这种方式符合/遵循我们大脑的遗忘规律。此处缺少谓语动词,根据上下文可知,此处陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语This way是第三人称单数,谓语动词需用单三形式。根据首字母f提示,可用动词fit“符合”或follow“遵循”,三单形式分别为fits、follows。
【64题详解】
句意:根据德国心理学家赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯的说法,如果不复习,我们的大脑在一个小时内会忘记大约50%的新信息,在一天内则会遗忘70%,因此及时复习可以有效防止遗忘。空处缺少单数名词,结合首字母h提示,以及常识和语境可知,此处指“一个小时”,用单数名词hour。

【68题详解】
句意:第二组:复习过一次的单词(三天后复习)。根据后文的“words reviewed twice”及首字母o提示可知,此处表示“一次”,用频度副词once。
【69题详解】
句意:上学期南京的许多学生尝试了这种方法。空处缺少谓语动词,根据时间状语last term可知,句子应用一般过去时。根据首字母t提示及语境,结合后文“A survey showed their average word test scores rose 15 points in two months.”可知,一些学生尝试这种记忆方法,动词try表示“尝试”,过去式tried。
【70题详解】
句意:“以前我很难记住单词,但现在好多了,”一名八年级的学生说。系动词becomes后应接形容词作表语,且much用于修饰比较级,根据首字母b提示及语境可知,以前记住单词很难,但是现在情况变得好多了,形容词good的比较级better表示“更好的”,符合语境。

A. 回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。
Asking people to a party is an art. You must think about what kind of party you’re going to have first. If it is a small party you can just give a call to your friends and ask them to the party. You can even e-mail them or just leave a message for them.
Now, calling someone is an art, too. First, give a call to your friend, and then begin the talk by asking them about their lives and family. Ask them about their schedules on the day of the party. If they say they are free, you can ask them to the party directly (直接地). If the friend is not free, then ask him or her to try to find time for your party.
If you’re going to have a big party, and need to ask lots of people to your party, you must decide how many people you want at your party. Then you can write a list of them and send them beautiful invitation cards because you may not have so much time to give them a call each. You must send the cards a few days before the party so that they can have enough time to prepare for it.
