Money is everything．B. Money is important，but not the most important．C. Money isn't necessary．D.

Money can buy all the things，including true friendship．C. Money can make all the people get on well with each other．D.

They are the signs that China is improving rapidly．C. They were brought to the countries along Belt and Road Routes．D. They are just so-so in young foreigners'eyes．CSome people love going to museums，while others really hate it and would rather stay at home，enjoying their favourite TV shows．So museums are being seen as out-of-date and boring by today's young people．I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA．While I was there，I visited lots of museums．I must say，museums are educational，either to develop knowledge learned at school，or to improve knowledge of other cultures．In Chicago，we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago．It was full of paintings，drawings and sculptures by a large number of artists，such as Picasso，Monet，Matisse and Dali．There was a mixture of traditional and modern art．When we were in Washington D．C．，we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums．These are all free to visitors，which is great if you just want to see a few things，and not spend all dayinside．The Air and Space Museum was especially good：it had lots of planes on show，interesting information and also some interactive （互动）parts．We also went to the National U．S．Holocaust （纳粹大屠杀）Memorial Museum．Naturally，it was sad to read about the horrors which influenced so many people in World War II．However，it was also interesting to read the stories of those who survived the Holocaust，as well as those who helped others．I also found the 9/11Memorial and Museum to be of great interest．This museum is for those who lost their lives，as well as their families，when the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by terrorists in 2001．It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack and what happened as a result of their actions．Surviving pieces of the towers are shown in the museum．It was a truly meaningful visit，which made me treasure my own life more．I think museums play an important role in realizing historical importance for future people．Whatever your interests are，there may be a museum for you．You can visit waxwork （蜡像）museums to see models of famous people，science museums for an interactive visit and a little bit more!Best of all，if you're ever in the UK，many of them are free!39.The first paragraph tells us that ______ ．．A. people of all ages love going to museumsB. trips to museums are always very tiringC. most museums in the USA are outdatedD. some young people find museums boring40.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______A.

The Air and Space Museum shows the twin towers were attacked by terrorists．41.What does the underlined word"terrorists"mean in paragragh 4？______A. 绑匪B. 恐怖分子C. 窃贼D. 抢劫犯42.What can we learn from the passage？______A.

Museums have advantages and downsides．D. Museums should be open to all kinds of people．四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）44.Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year，usually inspring．It is a record of the school year-a"book of memories"for the students．Inside a yearbook is each student's photo．The seniors are graduating soon，and their photos appear first．Next are the juniors．They are one year behind the seniors．Then come the second-year students．The last photos are the first-year students．The yearbook is not only about students．The teachers have photos，too．The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of many activities．These are activities that students do after school，such as the chess club and Spanish club．There is even ayearbook club．Students in this club write，design and take photos all year for theyearbook．In the yearbook，some students receive special titles．The seniors vote and choosethe"class clown"（a funny student），the"most likely to succeed"（a student who got the best grades），and the"best dressed"（a student with a good fashion sense）．There are also other awards．Students usually sign each other's yearbooks．This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or"I'll never forget you．"They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词．When do American schools usually publish a yearbook？______How many grades are there in most high schools in the USA？______Whose photos can we see in a yearbook？______What title might a student with a good fashion sense get？______Why is it important for senior students to sign each other's yearbooks？______ ．五、任务型阅读-完成表格（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）45.One of the most common questions I am asked is whether，when，and how to follow up after a job interview（面试）．Following up in some way is necessary．Yes，you can get a job without it，but if you compete with other top candidates（候选人），following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn't．Here's how to f ollow up well：Send a thank-you note right away．E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arrivi ng faster，but handwritten notes are still enjoyed．And if there are many interviews，send a thank-you note each time．Find out their timeline．Hopefully，you asked about their timeline in the interview itself，but if you didn't，follow up within a week to strengthen your interest and politely ask what they expect the ir timeline for a decision to be．Be patient．Commonly，job seekers（求职者） are too worried about the result．It needn't look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline．Don't be nervous if you don't hear from them at once．The hiring process（招聘流程） often takes longer than a candidate would like，maybe the decision makers are out of town．If you miss the time they told you to hear s omething，it's unnecessary to be nervous．Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected．Just politely follow up，explain you're very interested but understand that hiring can take time，and ask if they have the latest timeline．六、单词拼写-单句（本大题共7小题，共7.0分）46.The______ （发现） of America is made by Columbus．47.The China Twenty-Four Solar Terms（中国二十四节气） has entered the list of world heritage（遗产）______（success）．48.Life is too

that引导目的状语从句）"一词，故答案为B．--妈妈，我把我同桌的数学书错拿回家了，我该怎么办？--哦，你应该给她打电话这样你可以跟她道歉．本题主要考查连词的用法，连词在句子中主要起联系上下文的作用，他们之间的区别就是表示逻辑关系的不同，所以在解题时先要理解上下文含义，然后根据上下文逻辑关系选择合适的连词．是做好此类题型的关键．3.【答案】B【解析】考查形容词词义辨析．A．creative创造性的；B．silly愚蠢的；C．lively活泼的；D．curious好奇的．根据Well，I

too late for you to get out of it好在对你来说，抛弃它还为时不晚，可知应该是转折关系．故选：B．句意：那是一个学习的坏习惯．然而，好在对你来说，抛弃它还为时不晚．本题考查连词的辨析，解答本题的关键是理解句意掌握四个选项的含义．6.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．根据The Smiths are considering ______ to England because they ______ the cold wea ther there，可知consider后面一般接动名词作宾语，表示抽象的动作，consider doing sth表示考虑做某事，其否定表达是在动名词前加not．used to do表示过去常常做某事，be used to表示习惯于某事．前者to是不定式符号，后接动词原形．后者to是介词，后接名词或者名词性短语．故选A．史密斯一家正在考虑不移居到英国去，因为他们不习惯那儿的冷天气．首先要掌握这个句子的意思，然后结合具体的题目，就可以确定正确答案．7.【答案】A【解析】本题考查的是情态动词的用法，may是可能，can是能够，must是必须、一定的意思，could是能够，语气更委婉，need是需要的意思，根据题干和选项可知，应该是用may来提问，第二个问句是你能按时完成吗？故选A．-我能知道这项工作什么时候结束吗？-后天．你能按时完成吗？对待此类考查情态动词的题目，首先要认真审题，结合所给出的语境，正确把握说话者的语气、情感、态度、观点等．其次要认真思考所给选项中情态动词的基本特征和用法，并结合语境推敲答案．8.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查一般过去时态．第一个空，由yesterday昨天．可知，一般过去时态，原句是定语从句，主语work工作．是动词finish完成，动作的承受者，表示被完成，用一般过去时态的被动语态．结构是was/were+动词的过去分词．A，B不正确．第二个空，结合语境"你难道没听说昨天他花费大量时间的工作被完成了？___．我刚从伦敦回来．"．可知，应该用否定回答No．D不正确．选C．--你难道没听说昨天他花费大量时间的工作被完成了？--没有，我刚从伦敦回来．考查一般过去时态．通常表示事情发生在过去，主语谓语动词过去式的变法，分析时间状语．结合语境完成试题．9.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查冠词．句意：他们在一个美丽的地方停了下来，住在史密斯一家的农舍附近．a表示泛指某物；the表示特指某物．根据题干可知第一空表示泛指；第二空表示特指．即他们在一个美丽的地方停了下来，住在史密斯一家的农舍附近．故选C．他们在一个美丽的地方停了下来，住在史密斯一家的农舍附近．掌握冠词的用法及其区别，仔细分析句子的内容，根据具体的内容作答．10.【答案】D【解析】so （adv．）表示"如此"、"这样"的意思．用作副词，修饰形容词和副词；such （adj．）表示"如此""这样"的意思．用作形容词，修饰名词．此题中colourful是形容词，因此用so，排除A，C；can't stop doing 固定用法，意思是禁不住做某事，故选：D．这些花是如此多彩，以至于我们禁不住拍照．考查近义词的词意辨析．在熟知每个词的用法的基础上．结合句子意思，仔细分析，便可以得出正确答案．11.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据She asked me，可知本句考查了宾语从句的用法．在宾语从句中所使用的语序应该是陈述句语序，选项BC是疑问句语序，排除掉．再根据She asked me，可知主句的时态是一般过去时，那么后面所跟的宾语从句的时态也应该相应的用过去时形式，选项A的时态是一般现在时，不符合，排除．故选D．--会议结束后经理问了你什么？--她问我为什么我开会迟到了．此题考查宾语从句．考生在答题时要注意"宾语从句必须采用陈述语序"，根据上下文语境确定合适的选项．12.【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据题意：-你知道杀死了电脑工程师的哪个凶手吗？-是的．他是这个男人最好的朋友．结合选项，A．拿起B．继续C．结果是D．推迟，选项C符合题意，故选C．-你知道杀死了电脑工程师的那个凶手吗？-是的．他是这个男人最好的朋友．熟悉动词短语的基本用法，结合题意，给出答案．13.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．结合语境可以推断这句话表达的意思是"--你知道那位年轻人被指控入店偷窃吗？--但是我认为他并没有犯有那项罪名．"，本题考查了两个固定短语：be charged with---被控告有什么罪．be guilty of---犯有…罪，故选B．--你知道那位年轻人被指控入店偷窃吗？--但是我认为他并没有犯有那项罪名．英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很多，有时很难从词义上区分开来．故学习中要注意不断总结，熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法，是完成此类问题的捷径．14.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C

The next empty egg shell contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpillar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that’s new life, too.”Suddenly, Jeremy spoke up. “Miss Miller, aren’t you going to talk about my Easter egg?” Impatiently, Doris replied, “But Jeremy, your Easter egg is 6 .” He looked into her eyes and said softly, “Yes, but Jesus’ tomb (坟墓) was empty, too.” Time stopped.

This animal is both furry (毛茸茸的) and friendly. But it cannot move or make any noise. That’s because it is a teddy bear. Most teddies are in the shape of a small bear. They are usually brown and stuffed (填充) with cotton. Kids love them very much.Paddington bear is one of the most famous teddy bears in the world. Yet there are many types. Do you know Winnie the Pooh? He’s another popular bear!Cute, soft teddy bears were born in the 20th century. However, they do n’t have just one place of birth. Both American and German toymakers made the teddy bear at the same time!Teddy bears have long been a popular kids’ toy. They are in songs, stories and films. There are even teddy bear museums around the world. And it’s not even just kids who hold teddy bears. It’s a popular present for lovers, usually on Valentine’s Day.In the UK it is popular for a newborn baby to get a teddy bear as their first gift. The day I was born, my grandmother handed me a teddy bear. She made it herself. That makes him the same age as me!

But all kinds in the animal world can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings, to be friendly or to be playful. But did you know about infrasonic communication used by elephants? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than this. However,animals such as elephants and hippos can he ar much lower sounds than humans can. And what’s more, they can make those low sounds as well, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Higher-level sounds like the one people can hear, don’t travel well through walls, leaves, trees and so on, which is why we can’t hear sounds from more than 100 meters away. But infrasound is much stronger and things like grass and trees have no influence on it. Therefore, it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometers away!There have been reports of people watching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all stopped what they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo, you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutes—not loud or strong, but clearly noticed. This is infrasonic communication—the mother elephants “talking” to their babies.1．Why does the writer mention bees and dogs in Paragraph1?A．Because they use infrasonic communication.B．Because they communicate like the elephants.C．Because they are examples of animal communication.D．Because people want to learn how they communicate.2．Which of t he following is TRUE about ‘infrasound’?A．Humans can hear infrasound easily.B．It travels nearly several kilometers.C．It sounds low but can’t travel very far.D．It travels well through walls, leaves and so on.3．In places like zoos, ________.A．elephants don’t need to make infrasonic soundsB．it is easier for elephants to make infrasonic soundsC．mother elephants don’t let people stand near their babiesD．humans can easily sense infrasonic sounds when they are made4．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Talking to humans B．Talking to animalsC．Playing with humans D．Playing with elephants16、Daniel, an 11-year-old boy, was ill. He had a cough. His mother was worried and took him to see a doctor. The doctor looked over Daniel carefully an d said, “Daniel, nothing serious.” Then he gave him some medicine. Here are the words on the instruction of the cough medicine.

She was chosen along with 67 other honorees (领奖人) to receive the Eighth National Ethical Role Model award (第八届全国道德模范提名奖) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on November 5th, 2021.In 2015, Zhang set up a handwriting and painting school in Changchun. When she found that some parents were unable to pay for their children’s education, she made the lessons free and began providing 300, 000 yuan every year to help them.In early 2020, her school was made to suspend all courses because of COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) but it didn’t stop her from helping the poor families. She raised more than 8.9 million yuan and gave them away to Hubei hospitals.“Women in the new times should have the courage to create value and also have a sense of social duty,” she said. “It is my great honor to be chosen as a model.

One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on Boya never played again.People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016.

It’s a way to say hi and express friendliness.②Small talk is very useful. It can avoid uncomfortable silences and build stronger relationship. For example, when you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, you can break the ice by making small talk. Small talk with a colleague (同事) about his child may help you to understand more of his life outside the office.③In 2013, researchers from the University of Essex asked some people to make small talk in a study. They found small talk can make people happier. People who talk briefly (短暂地) with a waiter in a coffee shop felt happier than those who simply went in, ordered and left.④However, some people are not good at small talk. Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability.⑤Firstly, find common ground.When you have something similar with your speaking partner, that means you have something to talk about.⑥Secondly, ask open-ended questions.They are suitable for small talk. For example, if you ask visitors whether they like your city, they may simply say “Yes.” But if you ask “What do you think of our city,” they will have more freedom in how th ey answer.⑦Thirdly, become a student. Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. ________⑧Finally, practice makes perfect. Like anything, getting good at making small talk takes practice.⑨If you make small talk in your native language, you might become happier. If you are making small talk using English, you will most surely improve your speaking and listening skills.41. The whole passage can be divided into four parts.Which of the following is right?A．B．C．D．42. How many tips does the passage offer to improve the ability of small-talking?A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

Which of the following is an open-ended question?A．Do you like our city? B．Would you like to come to visit themuseum?C．Can you help me with my English? D．What do you think of the movie?45.

And each stroke (笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order.Poetry was also an important form of art.

But as the days begin to shorten and the night comes earlier and earlier, the water grows colder. It drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit(华氏). Swimming is harder. Its heartbeat slows—and almost stops. The young turtle is in danger of losing its life.Ten days before Thanksgiving, Max Nolan, a ten-year-old boy, and his mother begin theirpatrol. The Nolans are among volunteers who walk Cape Cod’s beaches during November and December to search for turtles who ar e often cold andtrapped and seem dead—turtles whose lives they may be able to save.Max and his mother and the other volunteers do an important job. All sea turtles are threatened or endangered. Among them Kemp’s ridleys are the most endangered. Right now on our planet there are fewer than eight thousand Kemp’s ridley turtles left.Max is far in front of his mother when he sees a turtle washed up by the surf. He runs up to it and shouts to his mom, “Got one!” The turtle is cold. Its eyes are open, but the turtle is not moving at all. It might be dead or still alive.Max remembers the instructions given to all the volunteers. He picks up the turtle, which weighs about five pounds, and moves it above the high-tide mark to keep it from washing out to sea. Then he runs to find seaweed to protect it from the wind. He finds a stick to mark where it is, and next, he and his mother go to the nearest telephone and call the sea-turtle hot line for help.1．The young turtle is in danger of losing its life because ________.A．it has been swimming for three monthsB．it dreams of calm water and plenty of foodC．the water drops to fifty degrees FahrenheitD．the days get longer and the nights come earlier2．The underlined word “Patrol” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．swimming in the seaB．travelling to the seasideC．enjoying Thanksgiving with othersD．walking along the beaches for turtles3．In order to prevent the turtle from washing out to sea, Max ________.A．runs to find seaweedB．calls the sea-turtle hot lineC．finds a stick to mark where it isD．moves it above the high-tide markE17、Even in early time, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for beingnaive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. Heused to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results.
