Dear You is ________ best film I have ever seen. — I can’t agree more. I have never seen ________ better one before. A. the; the B. a; the C. a; a D. the; a 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——安迪！《亲爱的你》是我看过的最好的电影。——我再同意不过了。我以前从未看过一部更好的电影。 形容词最高级best前通常加定冠词the；否定词never与比较级better连用表示最高级含义，此处泛指“一部”电影，用不定冠词a。 2. —She is too busy ________ us with the work. —Let’s do it ________. A. to help; herself B. helping; myself C. to help; ourselves D. helping; ourselves 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——她太忙了而不能帮我们做这个工作。——让我们自己做吧。 根据“too busy ... us with the work.”可知，此处是too ... to结构，表示“太……而不能”，第一空应填不定式形式to help。herself她自己；myself我自己；ourselves我们自己。“Let’s”是“let us”的缩写，反身代词应与us一致，应用ourselves。 3. —What should we do first when we make the model house? —We must read the ________ carefully first. A. inventions B. instructions C. invitation D. interview 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】‌句意‌：——我们制作房屋模型时首先应该做什么？——我们必须先仔细阅读‌说明书‌。 ‌ inventions发明；instructions说明、说明书；invitation邀请；interview采访。根据“制作房屋模型”的语境，制作前需要先仔细阅读对应的操作说明，因此选instructions。 4. —I can’t catch the key points when listening to English news.

A. record B. reduce C. return D. repeat 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我听英语新闻时抓不住重点，该怎么办？——你可以把难的部分重复几遍，直到你清楚地理解它们。 考查动词辨析。record录制；reduce减少；return返回；repeat重复。根据“...the difficult parts several times”可知解决听力问题需要反复练习困难部分，因此“重复”最符合。故选D。 5. Cycling is a good way for us to exercise, it helps us keep healthy. ________, it can help us get close to nature and relax. A. However B. Otherwise C. Moreover D. Instead 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：骑自行车对我们来说是一种很好的锻炼方式，它帮助我们保持健康。此外，它还可以帮助我们亲近自然并放松身心。 However然而；Otherwise否则；Moreover此外；Instead代替。根据“it helps us keep healthy”和“it can help us get close to nature and relax”可知，前后句均为陈述骑自行车的好处，属于递进关系，moreover意为“此外”，符合语境。应填Moreover。 6.

A. put up B. put in C. put on D. put away 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：海伦的父亲对DIY感兴趣。看，他现在正尝试在浴室里安装一盏灯。 考查动词短语。put up张贴，搭建；put in安装；put on穿上；put away收起来，放好。根据语境可知，此处是在描述海伦的父亲正在安装一盏灯，所以应该用put in。故选B。 7. —Linda. ________ sunshine is enough for the plant.

A. a bit; a bit B. a bit; a bit of C. a bit of; a little bit D. a bit of; a bit of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——琳达，一点点阳光对这个植物来说就够了。请把它带回家吧！——没问题，但我现在有点忙。我一完成工作就去做。 考查短语辨析。a bit of 一点，后接不可数名词；a bit/a little bit有点，后接形容词或副词。第一空后sunshine为不可数名词，需用a bit of修饰；第二空后busy为形容词，需用a bit或a little bit修饰。故选C。 8. The students found the math problem _______ with the help of their teacher. A. much more easily B. much easily C. much easier D. more easier 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意: 在老师的帮助下，学生们发现这道数学题更容易了。 根据句子结构“find+宾语（the math problem）+宾语补足语”，此处需用形容词描述数学题的特征，easy的比较级为easier，much可修饰比较级，因此选C。 9. Which of the following words has a different prefix to form an opposite meaning? A. expensive B. correct C. complete D. polite 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：以下哪个单词使用不同的前缀来形成相反的意思？ expensive昂贵的；correct正确的；complete完整的；polite有礼貌的。expensive的反义词为inexpensive，前缀是in-；correct的反义词为incorrect，前缀是in-；complete的反义词为incomplete，前缀是in-；polite的反义词为impolite，前缀是im-。D项使用im- 前缀，而 A、B、C 项均使用in- 前缀。 10. Mona suggests ________ the mountain this weekend, I disagree because of the bad weather. A. not to climb B. to climb C. not to climbing D. climbing 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：Mona建议这周末爬山，因为糟糕的天气我不同意。 考查suggest的用法。suggest“建议”后续动名词作其宾语，而由“I disagree because of the bad weather.”可知应是建议爬山，故选D。 11. It’s getting dark outside. You’d better________ home alone. Tell your parents to pick you up. A. not go B. not to go C. go D. to go 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：外面天黑了。你最好不要独自回家。叫你父母来接你。 根据前句“It’s getting dark outside.”以及后句“Tell your parents to pick you up.”可知，出于安全考虑，说话者在劝阻对方“最好不要独自回家”，应使用否定含义。表示“最好（不要）做某事”应用固定结构“had better (not) +动词原形”（其中had better常缩写为’d better），其否定结构为“had better not+动词原形”，因此空处应填not go。 12. —The price of petrol (汽油) is not ________ that of last year. —Exactly! And some people plan to buy new energy cars instead. A. as good as B. as cheap as C. as high as D. as low as 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汽油的价格并不像去年那样低。——没错！有些人计划购买新能源汽车来替代。 考查形容词辨析。as good as和……一样好；as cheap as和……一样便宜；as high as和……一样高；as low as和……一样低。根据“And some people plan to buy new energy cars instead.”可知，此处表示有些人计划购买新能源汽车来替代，是因为汽油的价格并不像去年那样低。故选D。 13.

A. more carefully; fewer B. more carefully; less C. more careful; fewer D. more careful; less 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我相信，你工作越认真，犯的错误就会越少。 考查比较级用法以及形容词辨析。根据“The…you work, the…mistakes you will make, I believe.”可知，此处为“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越……就越……”，第一空修饰动词work，用副词比较级carefully；第二空修饰可数名词复数mistakes，用fewer修饰，less修饰不可数名词。故选A。 14. —I want to write a novel, but I don’t know how to start. —Why not start to write the first page? You know “________.” A. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step B. Studying is like rowing a boat against moving water C. It’s better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish D. You should always plan your work carefully before starting 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我想写一部小说，但不知道如何开始。——为什么不从写第一页开始呢？你知道“千里之行，始于足下”。 考查谚语。A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step千里之行，始于足下；Studying is like rowing a boat against moving water 学习如逆水行舟；It’s better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish 授人以鱼不如授人以渔；You should always plan your work carefully before starting 做事前要仔细规划。根据前文“Why not start to write the first page?”可知，此处是建议对方从微小的第一步开始行动，以此推进写小说这个目标。再远大的目标，都要从脚下的第一步做起，强调“开始行动”的重要性。故选A。 15. —We should read English to improve our spoken English. —________. Let’s try this way together. A. Thank you for your help B. Maybe you have a point C. I don’t like English at all D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Logan忘记准备派对蛋糕，妈妈想出用果酱装饰的主意，最终顺利参加派对的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：每个人都很兴奋。 根据前文“Ms. Ryan told all the children”可知，听到有派对，应该是所有人都兴奋，应填Everyone“每个人”。Nobody“没人”；Somebody“某人”；Anybody“任何人”不符合全体兴奋的语境。 【17题详解】 句意：时光飞逝，很快到了计划这场派对的时候。 根据后文“Ms. Ryan made a list of things for students to discuss”可知，这是在为派对做计划，应填plan“计划”。open“打开”；finish“完成”；keep“保持”不符合讨论清单的语境。 【18题详解】 句意：所有的食物都将和大家分享。 根据“with everyone”可知，此处指食物与大家共享，share sth. with sb.为固定搭配，应填shared“分享”。made“制作”；followed“跟随”；created“创造”无法与with everyone构成合理搭配。 【19题详解】 句意：我简直不敢相信明天是这个学期的最后一天了。 根据第一段“at the end of this term”及“How time flies”可知，明天是学期的最后一天，应填last“最后”。first“第一”；next“下一个”；second“第二”与学期末语境不符。 【20题详解】 句意：我答应过要带纸杯蛋糕去派对。 根据前文“Logan volunteered to bring some cupcakes”可知，他承诺带的是纸杯蛋糕，应填cupcakes“纸杯蛋糕”。jam“果酱”；ice“冰”；sweets“糖果”与前文承诺内容不符。 【21题详解】 句意：Logan，我觉得我们没有足够的时间在睡觉前做它们了。 根据“before bed”可知，这里强调的是时间紧迫，不够做蛋糕，应填time“时间”。money“钱”；room“房间”；food“食物”不符合睡前赶工的语境。 【22题详解】 句意：下次，请提前告诉我。 根据语境，妈妈希望下次能早点知道，以便有充足时间准备，应填earlier“更早”。quicker“更快”；later“后来”；happier“更开心”不符合希望提前告知的逻辑。 【23题详解】 句意：Logan非常伤心。 根据后文“I’m really sorry”及可能无法带蛋糕去派对可知，他感到难过，应填sad“伤心的”。surprised“惊讶的”；glad“高兴的”；busy“忙碌的”不符合道歉和遗憾的语境。 【24题详解】 句意：妈妈，真的对不起，我忘记告诉你了。 根据Logan道歉及直到晚饭时才想起可知，他是忘记了告诉妈妈，应填forgot“忘记”。agreed“同意”；remembered“记得”；waited“等待”不符合忘记承诺的语境。 【25题详解】 句意：我想我们有时间烤纸杯蛋糕，但它们会太热没法涂糖霜。 根据后文“If we ice them tonight, the icing will melt”可知，刚烤好的蛋糕温度高，应填warm“热的”。wet“湿的”；cold“冷的”；cool“凉爽的”不会导致糖霜融化。 【26题详解】 句意：但我有个主意。 根据后文妈妈提出的用果酱装饰的方案可知，她是有了一个好主意，have an idea为固定搭配，应填idea“主意”。suggestion“建议”；result“结果”；hobby“爱好”不符合提出解决方案的语境。 【27题详解】 句意：妈妈打鸡蛋而Logan倒牛奶。 根据制作蛋糕的常识可知，此处指打鸡蛋，break the eggs为固定搭配，应填broke“打破”。threw“扔”；paid“支付”；sold“卖”不符合烹饪动作。 【28题详解】 句意：妈妈拿出几盒果酱说道：“我们通常用它们抹面包，但是你可以带上果酱，让你的朋友们用自己喜欢的果酱装饰纸杯蛋糕。” 根据语境，妈妈是从某处取果酱出来使用，应填took out“拿出”。put up“张贴”；gave away“赠送”；got on“上车”不符合取物使用的动作。 【29题详解】 句意：我们通常用它们抹面包，但是你可以带上果酱，让你的朋友们用自己喜欢的果酱装饰纸杯蛋糕。 根据后文“but… decorate their cupcakes”可知，此处表示平时的习惯用法，应填usually“通常”。hardly“几乎不”；finally“最后”；quickly“快速地”不符合通常习惯的语境。 【30题详解】 句意：Logan笑了，因为他知道他的同学们会喜欢自己创作纸杯蛋糕的。 前后句为因果关系，后半句是Logan笑的原因，应填because“因为”。though“虽然”；if“如果”；so“所以”不符合因果逻辑。 四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题；每小题2分，计30分） 阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A When it comes to free time activities, most people think of dining out or watching movies.

People travelled from far and wide to buy his furniture. One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then passed the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back confidently. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again Feeling sad, the young man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. He was so pleased with his work. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind. Life is like this — a successful person moves forward step by step. 34. Why did the young man visit the old carpenter? A. To travel around. B. To buy furniture. C. To help him. D.

A successful person moves forward quickly. 【答案】34. D 35. B 36. C 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位年轻木匠向老木匠学习，通过打磨木板的过程明白了成功不仅需要技巧，更需要耐心的道理。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One day, a young man came to learn from him.”可知年轻人拜访老木匠的目的是向他学习。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Make this board smooth.”以及第四段“The man thought it was easy.”可推知it指代的是把木板磨光滑这项任务。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully.”可知年轻人是通过仔细打磨每一部分来完成工作的。 【37题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“Success needs not only skill but also patience.”可推知故事传达的核心道理是成功需要技巧和耐心。 C On a peaceful farm in ancient Greece lived a kind miller (磨坊主) named Agathon and his son Tebelis, who was known across the land as the laziest (最懒的) boy for sleeping all day long. One morning, Agathon said, “Son, I must visit a friend. Watch the mill and keep the cow turning the stone.” Tebelis answered sleepily, “Yes, Father.” The cow that turned the millstone soon grew tired and stopped. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down and fell asleep. Suddenly, someone woke him, “You there, boy!” Tebelis opened his eyes, “Who are you, sir?” “I am Alexander, King of Greece. My men need flour (面粉). You must mill this grain (谷物) by next week.” There were so many baskets that the ground became a sea of grain. Tebelis cried, “But our cow is ill! It’s impossible!” The king answered, “You will find a way.” When Agathon returned, he told his father everything. “Father, what can we do?” Agathon encouraged his son. “We must not give up. Let’s work together.” But it was backbreaking work. They pushed the heavy millstone till late at night. Tebelis’s arms hurt, and he felt tired. Still, they only finished one basket. That night, Tebelis dreamed of a rushing river pushing upon his hand. He woke up and ran to his father. “Father, we can use water to turn the millstone. We can build a watermill” Agathon was not sure but said, “I will help you.” Together, they cut trees, built a large wheel (轮子), and set it up in the water. With the millstone fixed, they watched as the water began to turn the wheel. Nothing happened at first. Then, slowly, the millstone began to turn. It turned faster and faster. Tebelis jumped with joy. “It works.” In just a few days, all the king’s flour was ready. When the men returned, they were amazed. King Alexander himself came to see the invention. “They call you Tebelis,” the king said, “but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor,‘the wise one.’” Nestor smiled. 38. Why did Tebelis think it was an impossible task at first? A. Because he didn’t know how to use the mill. B. Because his father told him not to help the king. C. Because the cow was ill and there was too much grain. D. Because he was too sleepy to understand the king. 39. What does the underlined word “backbreaking” in Paragraph 11 mean? A. Very enjoyable. B. Quite simple. C. Too important. D. Pretty difficult. 40. How did Tebelis’s feelings change from the beginning to the end of the story? A. From angry to relaxed. B. From helpless to proud. C. From worried to peaceful. D. From curious to cheerful. 41. What can you infer (推断) about the name “Tebelis”? A. It was a name given to him by the king. B. It was a common name for millers’ sons. C. It matched his character at the start of the story. D. It predicted his future as a wise inventor. 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. B 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了古希腊磨坊主的儿子Tebelis原本十分懒惰，在接到国王要求磨大量谷物的任务后，从最初认为任务不可能完成，到和父亲一同钻研发明出水磨完成任务，最终被国王改名为“智者”Nestor的故事。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第6段“There were so many baskets that the ground became a sea of grain.”和第7段“Tebelis cried, ‘But our cow is ill! It’s impossible!’”可知，Tebelis起初认为任务不可能完成，是因为牛生病了，且需要磨的谷物数量极多。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第11段“They pushed the heavy millstone till late at night. Tebelis’s arms hurt, and he felt tired. Still, they only finished one basket.”可知，推磨的工作强度大、难度高，由此可推测backbreaking的含义是“非常困难的，极其费力的”。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第7段，Tebelis面对大量谷物和生病的牛时直言任务不可能，可见他起初十分无助；再根据第14段“Tebelis jumped with joy. ‘It works.’”以及最后一段他得到国王的认可与新名字后露出笑容，可知他最终充满自豪感，他的心情从无助变为自豪。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘They call you Tebelis,’ the king said, ‘but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor, ‘the wise one.’’”可知，国王认为Tebelis这个名字已经不再适合现在的他，结合文章开头介绍Tebelis是全国闻名的懒男孩，可推知这个名字和他故事初期的性格是匹配的。 D Imagine wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset (虚拟现实头显) and seeing a delicious ice cream in front of you. What if you could “taste” it without taking a bite? You can’t feel the coldness in your mouth, but you can taste its sweetness thanks to a tasting device (设备). Scientists created a new device known as the e-Taste. It could make the VR experience even more real. To use the device, the users need to wear it in the mouth. The device has five different chemicals (化学物质) inside. It can mix these chemicals to recreate the tastes of different food or drinks. Then the device sends the taste directly to the user’s tongue. To test their device, the scientists let users wear it. Then users “tasted” different food and drinks with the device. After that, there was a list of possible names for them to choose from. The choices were cake, coffee, fish soup, fried egg, and lemonade. Users easily guessed the tastes of cake and lemonade. However, they had a harder time telling the difference between the rest. While the device still needs improvement, it makes virtual food experiences possible. It could also help people without a sense of taste. More importantly, the device could give scientists new ideas and help them learn about how the brain understands information from the mouth. 42. How does the writer start the passage? A. By describing a situation. B. By telling a story. C. By giving advice. D. By listing numbers. 43. What is the e-Taste device able to do? A. To make real food or drinks. B. To store over five different chemicals. C. To mix tastes of all food or drinks. D. To let users taste virtual food or drinks. 44. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. How users wear the e-Taste. B. How the e-Taste works. C. How many tastes the e-Taste recreates. D. How the e-Taste sends tastes. 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs? A.

Jack was ________ to miss the last train to Shanghai. (luck) 【答案】unlucky 【解析】 【详解】句意：杰克很不幸，错过了去上海的最后一班火车。 be动词was后面接形容词作表语。 luck是名词，其形容词为lucky (幸运的)；根据句意“错过最后一班火车”，语气为否定，即“不幸的”，所以填unlucky。 47. Thomas Edison is one of the greatest ________. He invented many useful things. (invent) 【答案】inventors 【解析】 【详解】句意：托马斯・爱迪生是最伟大的发明家之一。他发明了很多有用的东西。固定结构one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数，表示“最……之一”。invent是动词“发明”；表示人，“发明家”是inventor，复数形式为inventors。 48. ________ was her second language for the rest of her life. (France) 【答案】French 【解析】 【详解】句意：在她此后的人生中，法语是她的第二语言。France是名词，意为“法国”；此处表达语言“法语”，需要变为French，句首单词首字母大写。 49. Mum joined our little group and introduced ________ to our new friends. (she) 【答案】herself 【解析】 【详解】句意：妈妈加入我们的小组，向我们的新朋友介绍了她自己。固定搭配introduce oneself表示“自我介绍”，主语是Mum，对应的反身代词是herself。 50. ________ your problems with your friends and you will feel better. (share) 【答案】Share 【解析】 【详解】句意：和你的朋友们分享你的烦恼，你会感觉好一些。本句是祈使句，以动词原形开头，句首首字母大写，所以填Share。 51. A good learner usually has a good ________ of how to make learning fun. (感觉) 【答案】sense 【解析】 【详解】句意：优秀的学习者通常很清楚如何让学习变得有趣。根据汉语提示可知，sense“理解力、感觉”。 52. Students from Grade 9 ________ us with some useful ways yesterday. (提供) 【答案】provided 【解析】 【详解】句意：九年级的学生昨天给我们提供了一些有用的方法。结合介词“with”可知此处用动词provide表示“提供”，provide sb. with sth.表示“给某人提供某物”，时间状语yesterday提示本句为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式provided。 53. Thanks a lot for giving me so many ________ on DIY. (建议) 【答案】suggestions 【解析】 【详解】句意：非常感谢你给我这么多关于DIY的建议。“建议”的英文单词为suggestion，so many后接可数名词复数，故填suggestions。 54.

(发音) 【答案】pronouncing 【解析】 【详解】句意：我会花尽可能多的时间练习正确发每个单词的音。“发音”对应动词pronounce；固定搭配practise doing sth.“练习做某事”；pronounce需变为动名词pronouncing。 55.

At that time I was working on my school bakery project with my classmates. I tried a few times, but I wasn’t very successful. My parents advised me to learn from my grandmother who later gave me her recipe (食谱) and instruction as well. After two years’ practice, I was able to make delicious bread. Making bread means a lot to me although it takes a long time. To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don’t. Every Saturday morning, after mixing a proper amount of water with flour, sugar etc, I take time to wait for the dough (生面团) to rise. This is my way to slow down and smell the roses. Baking does need great patience. In my hands the dough is slowly growing. It’s becoming softer. I can feel the change, which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living. To me, making bread is a push against our culture of convenience (便利). It certainly takes more time than buying bread from a store, but I enjoy it. I’ve stuck to (坚持) my grandmother’s recipe without making any change. Now this tradition has continued for years. By the time my children get home from school, the bread has been baked and cooled. The first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm, honeyed air. Maybe they will get as much from the baking as I do. 56. When did the writer start baking? ________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did the writer learn baking from her grandma? ________________________________________________________________________ 58. How is the writer’s bread-making different from others? ________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does making bread need according to the passage? ________________________________________________________________________ 60. Would you like to try baking bread? Why? ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She started baking at the age of twelve. / At 12/When she was twelve years old. 57. Because she tried a few times but wasn’t successful./Because she was not successful./Because her parents advised her to do so. 58. She doesn’t use quick-rise yeast. 59. It needs great patience. 60. Yes, I’d like to. It is great fun.或I will learn to be patient.或I can learn to slow down (and enjoy life)/No. It takes too much time.(言之有理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从12岁开始学习烘焙面包的经历，以及烘焙带给她的感悟和乐趣。 【56题详解】 根据文章第1段“I took up baking (烘焙) when I was a twelve-year-old girl.”可知，作者在十二岁时开始烘焙，直接提取年龄信息即可。 【57题详解】 根据文章第1段“I tried a few times, but I wasn’t very successful. My parents advised me to learn from my grandmother who later gave me her recipe (食谱) and instruction as well.”可知，作者向祖母学习是因为她一开始不成功，父母建议她这么做，根据原文信息作答。 【58题详解】 根据文章第2段“To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don’t.”可知，作者做面包与别人的不同之处在于她不使用速效酵母，答案几乎是原文引述。 【59题详解】 根据文章第3段“Baking does need great patience.”可知，做面包需要极大的耐心，答案几乎是原文引述。 【60题详解】 本题为开放性问题，结合自身实际情况，回答合理且字数不超过10个词即可。 七、缺词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据对话内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使对话完整。(每空一词) Do you have a friend with an interesting background?

I once met a big problem — I was poor at English. I was afraid of speaking English and always got bad marks in tests. To change this situation, I made up my mind to overcome it. I kept reading English texts aloud every morning. I also listened to English songs and watched short English videos in my free time. When I had questions, I asked my English teacher for help.

If we are brave enough to break the wave, we will make progress. 范文2： Break the wave Last term, I tried to make a hand-made model house, but it was really hard.

One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then passed the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back confidently. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again Feeling sad, the young man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. He was so pleased with his work. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need.

C On a peaceful farm in ancient Greece lived a kind miller (磨坊主) named Agathon and his son Tebelis, who was known across the land as the laziest (最懒的) boy for sleeping all day long. One morning, Agathon said, “Son, I must visit a friend. Watch the mill and keep the cow turning the stone.” Tebelis answered sleepily, “Yes, Father.” The cow that turned the millstone soon grew tired and stopped. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down and fell asleep. Suddenly, someone woke him, “You there, boy!” Tebelis opened his eyes, “Who are you, sir?” “I am Alexander, King of Greece. My men need flour (面粉). You must mill this grain (谷物) by next week.” There were so many baskets that the ground became a sea of grain. Tebelis cried, “But our cow is ill! It’s impossible!” The king answered, “You will find a way.” When Agathon returned, he told his father everything. “Father, what can we do?” Agathon encouraged his son. “We must not give up. Let’s work together.” But it was backbreaking work. They pushed the heavy millstone till late at night. Tebelis’s arms hurt, and he felt tired. Still, they only finished one basket. That night, Tebelis dreamed of a rushing river pushing upon his hand. He woke up and ran to his father. “Father, we can use water to turn the millstone. We can build a watermill” Agathon was not sure but said, “I will help you.” Together, they cut trees, built a large wheel (轮子), and set it up in the water. With the millstone fixed, they watched as the water began to turn the wheel. Nothing happened at first. Then, slowly, the millstone began to turn. It turned faster and faster. Tebelis jumped with joy. “It works.” In just a few days, all the king’s flour was ready. When the men returned, they were amazed. King Alexander himself came to see the invention. “They call you Tebelis,” the king said, “but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor,‘the wise one.’” Nestor smiled. 38. Why did Tebelis think it was an impossible task at first? A. Because he didn’t know how to use the mill. B. Because his father told him not to help the king. C. Because the cow was ill and there was too much grain. D. Because he was too sleepy to understand the king. 39. What does the underlined word “backbreaking” in Paragraph 11 mean? A. Very enjoyable. B. Quite simple. C. Too important. D. Pretty difficult. 40. How did Tebelis’s feelings change from the beginning to the end of the story? A. From angry to relaxed. B. From helpless to proud. C. From worried to peaceful. D. From curious to cheerful. 41. What can you infer (推断) about the name “Tebelis”? A. It was a name given to him by the king. B. It was a common name for millers’ sons. C. It matched his character at the start of the story. D. It predicted his future as a wise inventor. D Imagine wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset (虚拟现实头显) and seeing a delicious ice cream in front of you. What if you could “taste” it without taking a bite? You can’t feel the coldness in your mouth, but you can taste its sweetness thanks to a tasting device (设备). Scientists created a new device known as the e-Taste. It could make the VR experience even more real. To use the device, the users need to wear it in the mouth. The device has five different chemicals (化学物质) inside. It can mix these chemicals to recreate the tastes of different food or drinks. Then the device sends the taste directly to the user’s tongue. To test their device, the scientists let users wear it. Then users “tasted” different food and drinks with the device. After that, there was a list of possible names for them to choose from. The choices were cake, coffee, fish soup, fried egg, and lemonade. Users easily guessed the tastes of cake and lemonade. However, they had a harder time telling the difference between the rest. While the device still needs improvement, it makes virtual food experiences possible. It could also help people without a sense of taste. More importantly, the device could give scientists new ideas and help them learn about how the brain understands information from the mouth. 42. How does the writer start the passage? A. By describing a situation. B. By telling a story. C. By giving advice. D. By listing numbers. 43. What is the e-Taste device able to do? A. To make real food or drinks. B. To store over five different chemicals. C. To mix tastes of all food or drinks. D. To let users taste virtual food or drinks. 44. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. How users wear the e-Taste. B. How the e-Taste works. C. How many tastes the e-Taste recreates. D. How the e-Taste sends tastes. 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs? A. Users could easily tell fish soup from fried egg with the e-Taste. B. The e-Taste is perfect and doesn’t need any improvement now. C. The device may help scientists study how our brain deals with taste information. D. People who can’t see things can get help from this new device. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共60分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 46. Jack was ________ to miss the last train to Shanghai.

At that time I was working on my school bakery project with my classmates. I tried a few times, but I wasn’t very successful. My parents advised me to learn from my grandmother who later gave me her recipe (食谱) and instruction as well. After two years’ practice, I was able to make delicious bread. Making bread means a lot to me although it takes a long time. To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don’t. Every Saturday morning, after mixing a proper amount of water with flour, sugar etc, I take time to wait for the dough (生面团) to rise. This is my way to slow down and smell the roses. Baking does need great patience. In my hands the dough is slowly growing. It’s becoming softer. I can feel the change, which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living. To me, making bread is a push against our culture of convenience (便利). It certainly takes more time than buying bread from a store, but I enjoy it. I’ve stuck to (坚持) my grandmother’s recipe without making any change. Now this tradition has continued for years. By the time my children get home from school, the bread has been baked and cooled. The first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm, honeyed air. Maybe they will get as much from the baking as I do. 56.
