第I卷(共50分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分45分)(共10小题,每小题3分,满分30分)AParents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you are you. And they would do anything for you.Like a lot of middle school students, Zhuang Shuxia has her problem. She and her parents don’t get on well. “I really want to be my Daddy’s little girl. But he just doesn’t understand. He speaks to me but doesn ’t listen to me ,” said Zhuang, a Junior 3 student in Hebei.Of c ourse, lots of kids feel that way. But you and your parents willbe much happier if you can be friends. Why don’t you take a walk and have a talk with your parents first?Here are some w ays to have a good talk with them:◆Find a good time to talk, like when you’re having dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV.◆Tell them something you’re interested in, or ask them about t heir lives when they were young. They love to talk about it.◆Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the eyes.◆Be honest. Your parents will trust(信任)you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.1.Who are the closest people to us according to the passage ?A. The people who love us.B. The people who understan d us.C. Our father and mother.D. All the family members.2. Zhuang Shuxia’s problem is _______.A. Her father doesn’t think she works hard enough.B. Her father doesn’t like to speak to her.C. She really wants to be a big girl.D. She can’t get on well with her parents.3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Your parents love you just because you are such a good child.B. Children and their parents will be happier if they make frie nds with each other.C. It is a good time for children to talk with their parents whe n having dinner.D. Children can win their parents’ trust if they are honest.BIt's only $79.99! How many times have you heard those wor ds on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word "only" is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the p roduct.But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79. 99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thin g that's only $79.99 is worth(值)almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money?So as you stand in a shop, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must work to earn th e money to pay for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You could probably find a similar(相似的)shirt at another shop for under $35, right?Even if your parents are still buying you clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing, you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you sp end $85 on those jeans, you cannot put it in the bank, and yo u cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends becau se you don't have the money to go.4. Saying that it's "only$ 79.99" may make you think that it___ ____.A. is expensiveB. is importantC. is cheapD. is s uitable5. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The newspaper ad mayuse some words to promote sales(促销).B. The$ 79.99 T-shirt doesn't have good quality.C. The T-shirt may make you spend the money you will use for some ot her things.D. You can find a similar T-shirt at another shop for a lower price.6. From the passage we know that_______.A. the T-shirt isn't worth buyingB. the T-shirt is too expensiveC. we shouldn't believe the newspaper adD. we should think about what it is really worth before buyin g7. We can probably find the passage in a(n)_______.A. advertisementB. Youth NewspaperC. Year-book D. story-bookCThe last Monday in March is an important day in China. It is a day for school safety education. This year, the day falls on Ma rch 25. It helps students learn more about safety and make su re they are safe. What are some accidents at school? How ca n you keep yourself safe? Take a look!The main accidents at school are stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires.A stampede always happens in crowded places. When stude nts around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend(弯) your body and legs.Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everyt hing is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on, accordi ng to China Earthquake Administration(地震局). If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, tree s, and power lines(电线).When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not becaus e of the fire, but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t b reathe. Tha t’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself lower to the floor. Then you can bre athe some fresh air.8. Students can learn about_________ on March 25.A. school safetyB. traffic accidentsC. forest fires D . family rules9. In a stampede, if you fall down in a crowd you might behav e(行为) in this order(顺序):① put your hands around your head② bend your body and legs③ move to one sideA. ①--②--③B. ①--③--②C.②--③--①D. ③--②--①10. We can learn from the last paragraph(段落) that________.A. don’t push when there is a fireB. accidents sometimes happen in schoolsC. smoke is also very dangerous in a fireD. you should take a look first in fire第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读下面的对话,根据上下文,从方框内选择恰当的选项补全对话,使对话完整、符合逻辑。

And Wu Mingzhu, 92 years old now, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible. It’s fair 22 (say) that about 80 percent of the watermelons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years.Admitted to Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late 1940s, Wu is an alumnus (校友) of Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”. After two years of application failures, Wu succeeded in 23 (realize)her dream of starting her career in Xinjiang in 1955. Since then, she has put 24 (she)to growingsweet melons.Wu’s efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973, 25 she set up an off-season growing base in Hainan. Going and returning between Xinjiang and Hainan 26 (frequent) for many years, Wu developed more than 20,000 of China’s new seed 27 (kind) through off-season growing.Wu’s contribution has won her many praises. She became 28 member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.

But what are the best ways to actually go about learning English?Learning a language is markedly different from 31 historical facts or solving a complicated maths problem. As a result. you may need to decide which of the following 32 work to improve your English learning.Talk it outYou’re never going to do well in English unless you practice using it 33 . If you have a classmate, friend or family member who already speaks the language fluently, ask them to help you. This gives you the 34 to hear how words and phrases should be spoken. In addition. if you have difficulty with pronunciation, then a study buddy can help you with these problems.Write it downWhether you’re travelling on the bus or train, or watch ng television with your family, try to note down any new words that 35 repeatedly. Keep a notebook at hand so that you can seize the opportunities to accumulate new words 36 . During your next study session, review these words and phrases and try to commit to memorytheir definitions.Take your timeWhen you’re learning something new, you are 37 to get frustrated if you think you aren’t progressing quickly enough. Don’t worry, just take your time because English isn’t something you can learn overnight. Allow yourself to 38 at times on the dictionary at the start of English learning instead of getting annoyed with yourself. While you’ll have to re turn to it later, you may find it easier the second time around.To sum up, the more you’re exposed to English, the more your skills will improve. Don’t be afraid to ask someone to 39 themselves when they ask you a question that you don’t understand. Listen for words that you know and try to work out what’s being said based on the text, etc. These situations above can 40 the best learning experiences.III.Reading Comprehension(30)Section A(22)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A recent article in The Wall Street journal says that Chinese students in American universities are not getting the most out of their educational opportunities. The article says that 41 Chinese students work hard, many are not acquiring the soft skills that come with fully participating in campus life.Soft skills refer to things like socialization and learning to be 42 . These are the skills students develop by 43 socially with American and other international students and by learning how to handle problems in a new 44 and make their own decisions. A large number of Chinese students, 45 , tend to self-segregate, that is, they just 46 other Chinese students and 47 the campus culture and even the wider American culture that surrounds them.Jocelyn Jia, a 22-year-old from Hainan studying at the university of north Carolina at Chapel Hill, says, “If you just come to study and hang out with Chinese people, all you bring back to China is the 48 . It’s just a piece of paper. That’s it” Jocelyn studies hard, but she likes to 49 , too. She’s taking every opportunity to make American friends and experience things she couldn’t have at a(n) 50 university.Chinese companies want to hire “haigui” like Jocelyn. Ken Chen of a consulting firm in Shanghai says an American college education teaches you how to socialize, develop your 51 and know how to think and solve problems. Mr. Chen says these are the kinds of people he is looking for.An American education isn’t 52 , though. It can cost as much as U.S. $200,000 for a four-yearprogram. But Charlotte Fan, a graduate of Duke University from Shanghai, says the 53 was worth it. She’s now working for an American company and, in the Wall Street Journal article, is quoted as saying. “I’ve learned a lot and changed a lot in college, not just to learn knowledge, but more importantly the way of thinking, creativity, communication—the soft skills you never learn from 54 but learn from day-to-day life and from interacting with all the smart kids around you in school. Those sorts of things are what a Chinese education doesn’t 55 .”41.A.if B.while C.as D.unless42.A.enjoyable B.permanent C.intelligent D.independent43.A.mixing B.combining C.cooperating D.conflicting44.A.society B.environment C.class D.organization45.A.however B.in addition C.as a result D.for instance46.A.take pity on B.show respect to C.rely on D.hang out with47.A.ignore B.admire C.require D.challenge48.A.diploma B.proof C.document D.title49.A.have fun B.have a rest C.do research D.take a trip50.A.average B.Chinese C.traditional D.prestigious51.A.social well-being B.financial literary C.physical strength D.emotional intelligence 52.A.adequate B.cheap C.worthwhile D.extensive53.A.time B.effort C.investment D.degree54.A.teachers B.books C.movies D.friends55.A.allow for B.know about C.focus on D.seek outSection B(8)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AOnline jobs have opened the door for many people to earn a living (谋生) or make some extra money from the comfort of their homes.

It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.You’re not alone!Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all youneed to do is be polite and learn the new rules.Teachers are ready to help!If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything, then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’ re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.____________________There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. One of them lies in learning methods. In Junior High School, the learning process can be completed without much difficulty if you have a good memory. While study in Senior High requires both deep comprehension (理解) and memorizing, but the former (前者) is much more important. So that explains why many students can deal with the study in Junior High but can’t adapt to the learning process in Senior High. Besides you will need a homework diary or a student planner to help yourself get organized, or you will not be able to finish different tasks.Other pointsIf you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!59.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A.Other students have similar feelings to yours.B.Other students have to learn boating with you.C.Other students will help you solve your problems.D.Other students will teach you politeness and new rules.60.The new students turn to teachers first when having problems because___________A.teachers are more patient than parents B.teachers are good at helping solve problemsC.teachers are nice to every student D.parents are too busy to help them61.Which subtitle best suits paragraph 3?A.Different learning methods B.More homeworkC.More organized D.All change62.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To tell students the importance of learning.B.To ask students to take friendship seriously in Senior High school.C.To make a difference when moving up to Senior High school.D.To help new students to get used to the life in Senior High school.CThe new radio programme from Self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life. I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?Isn’t it always the case that just as you think you’ve got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that’s not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn’t take it-which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.There was the boundary that said I wasn’t to buy anything until I’d reached my savings goal-which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn’t quite what I had predicted.Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I’ve spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I’ve secretly put in place, and I’ve let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I’m a beginner again, and that’s fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.63.What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle’s programme?A.The importance of confirming our boundaries. B.The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.C.The urgency of maintaining our boundaries. D.The necessity of reassessing our boundaries. 64.Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with?A.We should favour savings goals over boundaries.B.Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friendsC.Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.D.We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.65.How did the author feel about boundaries after the?A.Relaxed.B.Depressed.C.Pressured.D.Amused.66.What is probably the best tittle for the passage?A.Just when you think you’ve got things sorted. B.Just where you believe there’s no way outC.How can we live a life without boundaries?D.How do we become victims of boundaries?Section C(8)Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Living off gridWhen you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. 67 For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost toilets. 68 It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. 69 They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decides that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable option.A part from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement.Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient butgetting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. 70 Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.A.Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.B.After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.C.This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.D.They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation.E.Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.F.Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options.IV. Reading expression(12)Directions: Read the following passage. Then answer the questions.Vision of HopeMolly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a rare eye disease that would gradually take away her vision. In her first grade, she learned to read Braille (the language used for the blind), although she could still see.By age 14, Molly was completely blind. What’s worse, a group of girls who were once her friends started bullying her. Eventually, Molly became disappointed and depressed. Her high school years were not easy.After she finished high school, Molly wanted to do something that would help others. Then she found out about Me to We, an organization that runs international volunteer trips and leadership camps. Molly knew what she wanted to do next - to help inspire people by being a speaker at Me to We.Molly began speaking at schools all over the USA and Canada about bullying. Her advice? Be strong! During a speech in Toronto, she spoke to about 20,000 people. After her speech, the crowd stood up and clapped. “Molly has a real ability to inspire people and to help others,” her father says.In 2014, Molly started her own channel on social media, uploading things like makeup video blogs, or vlogs. As of 2019, she has close to two million followers, some of whom don’t even know she’s blind. She tries to be a role model for young people but is realistic about what she can and can’t do. She even makes fun of the challenges she faces as a blind person - like sharing a video that she once bit into a lemon, thinking it was a potato.“How can you hold somebody like that back?” says Molly’s mother. “She’s unstoppable”.71.Has Molly lost her sight when she started learning Braille?________________________________________________________72.Why were Molly’s high school years not easy for her?________________________________________________________73.What does the organization Me to We do?________________________________________________________74.What’s Molly’s advice on how to face bullying?_______________________________________________________75.How did Molly inspire people besides giving speeches?_______________________________________________________76.How do you understand the title “Vision of Hope” according to the passage?_______________________________________________________V.Translation(8)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.77.均衡饮食就是每天你应该吃大量的水果、蔬菜和谷物,例如面条和面包。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrasesmarked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that geniuswas one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, itseems, there is scientific evidence to __41__ his c laim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, M ozart, and Picasso possessed c ertain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British p sychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __42__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and —most important of all —__43__. Even people who were not thought to be 44__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __45__ considered a ttainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,”they said.This theory — a dramatic __46__ with traditional beliefs — has been __47__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of _48__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without _49__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented —whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports —have needed l engthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __50__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __51_ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __52__ for success i n long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __53__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’is at least as important as ‘nature.’__54__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. T his is a message that most of us will find _55__ — even if we haven’twon the gene l ottery, our fate is still in our own hands.41. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss42.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It's raining and the tent leaks(漏). The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor(赞助)a shopping spree(狂购)at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We're camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday:I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked "fishy". She had a pack rod (竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I can't believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful.We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It's hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.56. The writer went on this camping trip because _____.A. she enjoyed campingB. she wanted to go fishingC. she was influenced by her brotherD. she was tired of staying home57. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer _____.A. hiked along the lakeB. dried out her belongingsC. climbed the mountainD. caught the fish for dinner58. It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because _____.A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleB. she needed it to get their main source of foodC. she thought the writer of the journal might need itD. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking59. It is likely that the writer will _____ .A. go on another camping tripB. invite Carol to go fishing togetherC. make her brother buy her somethingD. convince tier brother to go camping(B)ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, is a catch-all expression for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others, to transmit their own thoughts, to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physicallytouching them. These special people are called psychics. Some believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it.Many people are skeptical about ESP. Alongside the existence of documented evidence, there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating. For most people, it is difficult to accept such claims without having had first hand experience. The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account. On the other hand, most of us have, at some time, experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence; hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental.Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory Perception” in which he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to copy his results since, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame.The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments. So-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages. Later the psychics would compare the messages received to the original messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time, but the research failed to produce convincing results.One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist, the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken.Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. This becomes clear when we see how much of the media is dedicated to the topic: magazines, journals, web sites, television and radio programs. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain: “The truth is out there!60.
