A. putting on B. putting out C. putting in D. putting up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我的自行车灯坏了。爸爸现在正在为我安装一个新的。——太好了！那么你晚上可以安全骑行了。 考查动词短语辨析。putting on穿上；putting out熄灭；putting in安装；插入；putting up搭建；张贴。根据语境可知，爸爸在安装新自行车灯，强调安装动作，故选C。 7. —Shall we use a camera to ________ a day of our school life at the sports meeting? —Of course.

You had better ________ too much cake even if you have a sweet tooth. A. not have B. not having C. don’t have D. not to have 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：即使你喜欢吃甜食，也最好不要吃太多蛋糕。 根据空前的“had better”可知，此处是固定结构“had better not do sth.”，意为“最好不要做某事”，had better后需接动词原形，其否定形式是在had better后直接加not，应填not have。 10. —I think China is leading the world in many areas, such as high-speed rail and digital payment. —________.

Before he goes, he wants to take his medicine first. He picks up the cup. “No!” cries Tink because she knows it is poisoned. “Why not?” “It is poisoned.” “Poisoned? But who…?” “Hook.” “Don’t be silly.” Peter lifts the cup with the medicine to his mouth. Tink fast flies between Peter and the cup and drinks it all. Then she falls to the ground. “Tink! What’s the matter?” cries Peter, suddenly afraid. “It’s poisoned, Peter,” she tells him softly. “And I will die soon.” “Oh, Tink! No!” Tink goes to her room and lies down on her small bed. Her light is growing fainter. Peter knows that when a fairy’s light goes out, she will die. “I can get better, if…” Tink says. “If what?” asks Peter. “If children believe in fairies.” Peter calls to all the children in the world who are dreaming about Neverland. “Do you believe in fairies?” he shouts to them. “If you believe in fairies, clap your hands. Tink will not die.” Tink sits up in bed and listens. Peter listens, too. Many children clap. And they save Tink. Soon, she flies around the room.

He may go to find a doctor for Tink. 【答案】29. C 30. B 31. D 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《彼得·潘》。主要讲述了小仙子Tink发现彼得·潘的药水被胡克船长下毒后，抢先喝下毒药以救彼得，生命垂危之际，彼得号召全世界相信仙子存在的孩子鼓掌，孩子们的信念最终救了Tink。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。第十段指出“Peter lifts the cup with the medicine to his mouth. Tink fast flies between Peter and the cup and drinks it all.”，写Tink飞快地飞到彼得和杯子之间把药水喝光，说明她喝下毒药是为了救彼得的命。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。第十七段指出“‘If children believe in fairies.’”说明只要孩子们相信仙子就能救她。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第八段“Hook.”可知胡克先下毒；根据第十段“Tink fast flies between Peter and the cup and drinks it all.”可知 Tink 接着喝药；根据第十四段“Tink goes to her room and lies down on her small bed.”可知 Tink随后躺下；根据第二十段“Many children clap. And they save Tink.”可知最后孩子们救了她。正确顺序为④①③②。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。第二段提到“‘I must save her!’ he says.”，第三段提到“Before he goes, he wants to take his medicine first. He picks up the cup.”，说明Peter 在喝药前明确表示要去救Wendy，喝药救Tink只是插曲，既然 Tink已得救，Peter接下来会继续执行原本救Wendy的计划。 C My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little. When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out. But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me. Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once. Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly. And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today. 33. What do we know from Paragraph 1 about the writer’s family? A. They lived a comfortable life for years. B. They moved to new places for work often. C. They had little money for a long time. D. They cared more about grades than money. 34. What does the underlined word “admitted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Refused. B. Punished. C. Changed. D. Accepted. 35. Why does the writer mention his mom’s letter? A. To show how much she supported him. B. To explain why the camp cost so much. C. To describe what he learned at the camp. D. To show the director wanted to be thanked. 36. Which of the following best describes the writer’s feelings as the story develops? A. Calm → angry → bored → proud. B. Excited → sad → surprised → thankful. C. Sure → upset → nervous → lonely. D. Nervous → relaxed → tired → worried. 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者出身于长期贫困的家庭，在母亲的支持和计算机营负责人的帮助下，抓住学习机会，最终打破家族贫困循环、实现人生逆袭，并感恩母亲付出的成长故事。 【33题详解】 对应第一段，文中提到“My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little.”，可知作者的家族长期以来都很缺钱。 【34题详解】 对应第三段，前文提到作者因付不起夏令营费用而哭泣，后文提到“At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites.”，说明作者成功参加了夏令营，因此“admitted”的意思是被接受、被录取。 【35题详解】 对应第四段，文中提到“She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me.”信中母亲详细介绍了作者对计算机的热爱，并恳请夏令营录取作者，体现了母亲对作者的全力支持，因此作者提到这封信是为了展现母亲对自己的支持。 【36题详解】 对应全文，作者一开始拿到夏令营手册时很兴奋，看到价格后伤心哭泣，接到录取电话时十分惊讶，最后得知母亲写信的真相后充满感激，情绪变化为兴奋→悲伤→惊讶→感恩。 D ①Of all the animals on Earth, none are more willing to explore than humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery (发现). So what caused us to explore across the world? ②Maybe it’s in our DNA. In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research. ③But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore? Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration. ④The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes. ⑤Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do. 37. What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene? A. It has more influence on people in Africa. B. It could be found in most of the humans. C. It prevents the people in Africa from moving around. D. It may be more common in people who like taking risk. 38. What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show? A. The purpose of exploring. B. The importance of the environment. C. The advantage of exploring. D. The big changes of the environment. 39. What is the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 40. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Genes’ influence on humans. B. Humans’ need to explore. C. What causes humans to explore. D. How do humans explore. 【答案】37. D 38. B 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了驱使人类不断探索的多种原因。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t.”可知，DRD4-7R基因在喜欢冒险的人的身上更为常见。故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore…Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.”可推测，欧洲大航海时代的例子说明了环境对于人类探索影响的重要性。故选B。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文首段点明了主题，即：人们一直在不断探索；第二、三、四段展开了具体的论述，分析了DRD4-7R基因以及其他可能驱使人们不断探索的因素。最后一段总结全文，指出不管出于什么原因，人们都会不断探索，与首段呼应。因此本文是“总——分——总”的结构。故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。文章介绍了驱使人类不断探索的多种原因，选项C“什么促使人类探索”最贴切主题。故选C。 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Chinese lacquer fans (漆扇) have a very long history.

C My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little. When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out. But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me. Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once. Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly. And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today. 33.

Why does the writer mention his mom’s letter? A. To show how much she supported him. B. To explain why the camp cost so much. C. To describe what he learned at the camp. D. To show the director wanted to be thanked. 36. Which of the following best describes the writer’s feelings as the story develops? A. Calm → angry → bored → proud. B.

Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery (发现). So what caused us to explore across the world? ②Maybe it’s in our DNA. In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research. ③But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore? Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration. ④The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes. ⑤Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do. 37. What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene? A. It has more influence on people in Africa. B. It could be found in most of the humans. C. It prevents the people in Africa from moving around. D. It may be more common in people who like taking risk. 38. What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show? A. The purpose of exploring. B. The importance of the environment. C. The advantage of exploring. D. The big changes of the environment. 39. What is the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 40. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Genes’ influence on humans. B. Humans’ need to explore. C. What causes humans to explore. D. How do humans explore. 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Chinese lacquer fans (漆扇) have a very long history. The artist draws pictures on the fans with special paint.
