学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解
Theater is a big part of what makes New York shine. This city is full of talent that even the youngest can appreciate, and at the best Broadway shows, everyone in your crew will be interested.
The Lion King
There’s a reason Simba’s story continues to draw in crowds year after year: It’s an amazing production with amazing sets and a moving score. Seeing The Lion King live is something like a ceremony for New York kids. Unconvinced? Ask the 100 million+audience members worldwide who’ve seen the performance.
Ages 8 and up.
Six
On a concert stage, backed by an all-female band, the six wives of Tudor Dynasty Henry VIII air their complaints in the form of modern pop. The queens sing their heads off, and the audience loses its mind. Some of the stories are pretty dark, but the girl-power dance moves will make older kids excited.
Ages 10 and up.
Wicked
Based on novelist Gregory Maguire’s 1995 adult variation on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked shows what happened before the events in the children’s book. The musical addresses complex themes, such as standards of beauty and morality. While children five and up are permitted in the theater, little ones might be afraid of the flying monkeys.
Ages 8 and up.
Come from Away
One of the more unlikely musicals on Broadway is an excellent choice for the family: Come from Away is the tense but humane story of an airport in Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes and more than 6,000 passengers were forced to land on September 11,2001. It raises big topics, but in such a way that invites thoughtful discussion.
Ages 10 and up

2、What can you learn about Come from Away?

When a stranger gave Danille and her husband Nathan a box of onions which they later found they didn’t need, she decided to pass the kindness on.
Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to “take what you need, share what you can”. Now, one year on, their stand, called the “Waverley Co-op”, provides thousands of locals with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. “Residents and charities donate some produce, and we top this up with $100 of fresh fruit and other foods,” says Danielle, who explains that others began adding to the stand with their own donations.
“A common story we hear is that the items people take from the stand enable them to save a few extra dollars so they can afford to buy meat that week.” For a new mum Stacey, it’d been the lifeline she needed to keep food on the table for her family.
Last year, the 33-year-old’s one-year-old son Kaidan ran into a hot fire screen, badly burning his hands and forehead. Then, her husband lost his job. With Kaidan needing urgent medical care in Hobart 200km away, the mother spent four weeks at her son’s bedside before returning home, which led to piles of overdue bills at home. “Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn’t have had food or nappies,” says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth.
“It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community,” says Danielle, who couldn’t be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. “The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection — that’s been the biggest success!”
4、How did Danielle deal with the onions?
A. She let others take them away. B. She donated them to a stand.
C. She fed her family on them. D. She exchanged them for fresh fruit.
5、What can we learn about Stacey?
A. She could merely pay the bills. B. She stayed for a year in Hobart.
C. She was jobless after her son’s accident. D. She heard about the stand from others.
6、What does the Waverley Co-op finally bring in Danielle’s opinion?
A. Abundant food sources. B. Strengthened bonds among people.
C. Moving stories of strangers. D. Increased communication with locals.
7、What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Mother Saved Her Son B. Danielle Brought Happiness to People
C. A Small Stand Made All the Difference D. The Waverley Co-op Gave People Wealth
Globally, tobacco is the king of intoxicating plants, and now we can trace its cultural roots directly back to the Ice Age.
Recently, four tobacco plant seeds found in an ancient Utah fireplace suggest early Americans might have been using the plant 12,300 years ago. The finding makes the first known use of tobacco some 9,000 years earlier than previously thought. Researchers believe hunter-gatherers in the Great Salt Lake Desert may have smoked wads of the plant. Until now, the earliest evidence of tobacco use was a 3,300-year-old smoking pipe discovered in Alabama.
Scientists discovered the millimetre-wide seeds at the Wishbone site, an ancient camp in the desert in what is now northern Utah. There, they found the rest of an ancient hearth that was surrounded by bone and stone artifacts.
Their findings suggest the native American hunter-gatherers may have consumed the tobacco while cooking or tool-making, the scientists say in a paper published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
The tobacco plant is native to the Americas and contains the psychoactive addictive substance nicotine. Tobacco was widely cultivated and spread around the world following the arrival of Europeans in the Americas at the end of the 15th century, which played a sacred, ceremonial, or medical role among the ancient Mayans and other Native American groups, and helped boost the colonial economy of the United States.
“The tobacco seeds were the big surprise. They are incredibly small and rare to be preserved,” said Daron Duke, a researcher of the Far Western Anthropological Research Group. “Today, the Great Salt Lake Desert is a large dry lake. But 12,300 years ago, the camp would have been on a vast marshland. We know very little about their culture. The thing that interests me most about this find is the social window it gives to a simple activity in an undocumented past. My imagination runs wild.”
8、What does the finding suggest in Paragraph 2?
A. Americans prefer using smoking pipes.
B. Tobacco plants can easily be found around America.
C. Americans have a longer history of tobacco use than we thought.
D. Tobacco plants were introduced into America 9,000 years ago.
9、What did scientists find at the ancient camp?
A. Some animal meat. B. A rich farming land.
C. A modern hunting tool. D. Small tobacco seeds.
10、What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. Europeans contributed to the spread of tobacco.
B. Americans started learning to smoke in the 1500s.
C. Tobacco was first planted in America by Europeans.
D. People extremely cared about the effects of smoking.
11、What did Daron Duke think of the discovery of tobacco seeds?
A. Threatening. B. Amazing. C. Alarming. D. Satisfying.
Box jellyfish (箱型水母) are the most poisonous marine animals known to man. They measure 3 meters long and weigh up to 2 kilograms. They are pale blue and transparent in color, and get their name from the cube-like shape of their body. Box jellyfish have 6 eyes on all 4 sides of their body, although it is uncertain how they process what they see as they do not have a central nervous system. They also have up to 15 tentacles (触须) growing from each corner of their body that have about 5,000 stinging (带刺的) cells each.
Box jellyfish can be found primarily in the coastal waters off Northern Australia as well as throughout the Indo-Pacific. They prefer to live at river mouths. They do not have any organs to breathe, and will sleep on the ocean floor from 3 p.m. to dawn. Unlike other jellyfish that merely move along with the current, box jellyfish have developed a way to travel wherever they want to go. They will shoot themselves in a jet-like fashion, reaching speeds of up to 7.4 kilometers per hour.
The diet of box jellyfish consists of thing like fish, small animals, and even other jellyfish. They use their venom, a chemical which causes heart, skin, and breath failure, to kill their prey. Since box jellyfish have eyes, some scientists believe that they actively hunt their prey, holding the belief that box jellyfish have developed a special set of eyes similar to humans that help them skillfully avoid obstacles in the ocean, while others insist that they are just passive opportunists that will wait and catch anything that wanders into their tentacles.
Box jellyfish are responsible for more human deaths in Australia than snakes, sharks, and salt-water crocodiles combined. It is best to avoid them as most stings will result in death. Hopefully, humans and box jellyfish can find a way to live with one another while keeping conflicts to a bare minimum. After all, such a unique species of jellyfish deserves to live and grow just as humans do.
12、Which of the following is NOT mentioned about box jellyfish from the first paragraph?
A. Its size. B. Its poisonousness. C. Its color. D. Its hardness.
13、What can we infer about box jellyfish from the passage?
A. They live in the deep sea in groups.
B. They can breathe on the ocean floor.
C. They can decide the direction in which they move.
D. They usually move along with the current.
14、The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. box jellyfish B. scientists
C. box jellyfish’s prey D. box jellyfish’s tentacles
15、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce some poisonous animals.
B. To describe a kind of animal under the sea.
C. To illustrate scientists’ research into box jellyfish.
D. To show the relationship between humans and jellyfish.
二、七选五

Four Rules for Successful Plant Cloning
Plant growers have two choices when it comes to starting new plants: growing from seed, or plant cloning. And plant clones offer advantages that growing plants from seed can’t offer. Growing from clones, you’re sure to have all females, and as long as you do the cloning yourself, you know who the mother plant is and how your clones will grow, yield, and get you high. ①______.
Take your plant cuttings from a healthy mother plant
Plant cloning gives you genetic copies of your mother plant. ②______, your clones get the best start possibly. Avoid using mother plants that are sick, or that are plagued with pests.
③______
Most plant clones prefer temperatures slightly higher than your ideal grow room temperature, and they don’t like a day and night cycle with a temperature drop at night. That’s why most growers root their cuttings under lighting that stays on 24 hours a day. The lighting itself creates temperature stabilization. Temperatures between 74 — 77 degrees Fahrenheit are the range you want.
Clones like high humidity
Your cuttings need a humid environment in the 75 — 95% humidity range until they’ve created roots and are able to intake water through them. That’s why many plant cloners use humidity covers. You need to wait your clones have functioning roots. ④______, they’ll die.
Use sterile equipment and materials
You already figured out that your scissors, knife or other tools for cutting clones has to be clean. But you also want to make sure you trays, cloning covers, and root zone media are clean and sterile too. ⑤______. Start fresh every time.
When you follow these plant cloning tips, your clone success rate should be nearly 100%.
A. If they’re in dry air
B. Use kind LED lighting
C. Give your plant clones consistent climate
D. But it’s an art and science to plant cloning
E. Don’t reuse cloning cubes or cloning powders and gels
F. If you’re taking 20 clones and seeing only 10 of them survive
G. If your mother plants are strong, healthy, and have potent genetics

16、答案：①-⑤DGCAE
解析：①根据上文“Growing from clones, you’re sure to have all females, and as long as you do the cloning yourself, you know who the mother plant is and how your clones will grow, yield, and get you high. (从克隆植物中生长，你肯定会有所有的雌性植物，只要你自己做克隆，你就知道母株是谁，你的克隆植物将如何生长、长成作物，让你兴奋。)”可知，看着自己亲自进行克隆植物会是件令人兴奋的事，D项“But it’s an art and science to plant cloning. (但克隆植物是一门艺术和科学)”，D项与上文之间为转折关系，且有启下的作用，引出下文的四个成功克隆植物的规则，语意顺畅。故选D项。
②本段主题句“Take your plant cuttings from a healthy mother plant (从健康的植物母株上取下插枝)”，关键词为mother plant，上文“Plant cloning gives you genetic copies of your mother plant. (植物克隆为您提供母株的基因复制)”可知，植物母株对植物克隆会有遗传影响，联系主题句可知，母株健康，克隆产物才有可能健康；后一句“your clones get the best start possibly (你的克隆可能会有一个最好的开始)”可知，这个好的开始必然是有一个好的先提条件；G项“If your mother plants are strong, healthy, and have potent genetics (如果你的植物母株强壮、健康、有强大的基因)”，故G项与下文为条件关系，对上文信息作出了具体的解释。故选G项。
③考查主题句。本段第一句“Most plant clones prefer temperatures slightly higher than your ideal grow room temperature, and they don’t like a day and night cycle with a temperature drop at night. (大多数植物克隆体喜欢比理想生长温度略高的温度，它们不喜欢白天和晚上的温度下降周期。)”，根据其中的关键词temperatures可知，本段与克隆植物所需的适宜的稳定的温度有关，最后两句“The lighting itself creates temperature stabilization. Temperatures between 74—77 degrees Fahrenheit are the range you want.(照明本身创造了温度稳定。74-77华氏度是你想要的温度范围。)”可知，克隆植物最理想的温度条件为稳定的74-77华氏度。C项“Give your plant clones consistent climate (给你的克隆植物稳定的气候)”符合题意。故选C项。
④本段主题句“Clones like high humidity (克隆植物喜欢高湿度)”说明了克隆植物的湿度要求，根据下文“they’ll die (他们就会死)”可知，达不到湿度条件,克隆植物会死；A项“If they’re in dry air (如果它们在干燥的空气中)”，说明了湿度不够，空气干燥，会导致克隆植物死掉，A项与下文为条件关系。故选A项。
⑤本段主题句“Use sterile equipment and materials (使用无菌设备和材料)”说明了克隆植物时的容器、相关材料的要求。上文“You already figured out that your scissors, knife or other tools for cutting clones has to be clean. But you also want to make sure you trays, cloning covers, and root zone media are clean and sterile too. (你已经知道你的剪刀、刀或其他用于切割克隆植物体的工具必须是干净的。但是你也要确保你的托盘，克隆覆盖，和根区介质是干净和无菌的。)”，上文列举了对部分材料的要求；E项“Don’t reuse cloning cubes or cloning powders and gels (不要重复使用克隆方块或克隆粉末和凝胶)”，E项承接上文，话题一致，下文“Start fresh every time. (每次都用新的)”，为总结句，呼应主题句。故选E项。

③考查形容词。句意：蓝山位于悉尼盆地的中心地区，为各种运动能力的人提供了许多徒步路线，以进行全天的徒步旅行或露营冒险。修饰名词areas，应用形容词central，作定语。故填central。
④考查固定短语。句意：蓝山位于悉尼盆地的中心地区，为各种运动能力的人提供了许多徒步路线，以进行全天的徒步旅行或露营冒险。结合句意表示“许多”可知，短语为a number of。故填a。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意：被海滩吸引的学生可以在邦迪海滩到库吉海滩散步。分析句子结构可知，draw在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语students构成被动关系，应用过去分词，作定语。故填drawn。

38、答案：
When it comes to music, here is I want to say: Music is one of the important in my life. The beautiful classical music not only helps deal with stress, but me pleasure. Although some songs contain rock-and-roll beats, they still can make me feel calm and comfortable. I believe music is able to on all kinds of emotions. While for the coming day, I love listening to music as my morning routine. Also, I am planning to learn to play piano. Without songs and harmonies, my life be completely empty.
解析：①考查名词性从句。句意：说到音乐，我想说的是：音乐是我生活中重要的一部分。分析句子结构可知，本句为表语从句。从句中缺少宾语，指物，用连接代词what。故将how改为what。
②考查可数名词复数。句意：说到音乐，我想说的是：音乐是我生活中重要的一部分。one of +复数名词。故将part改为parts。
③考查代词。句意：优美的古典音乐不仅能帮助我缓解压力，还能给我带来快乐。根据上文可知，作者讲的是音乐给自己带来的好处，而不是给我们带来的好处，所以用代词me。故将us改为me。
④考查谓语动词。句意：优美的古典音乐不仅能帮助我缓解压力，还能给我带来快乐。not only…but（also）…引导的并列谓语，bring应该和helps保持一致，所以用第三人称单数形式。故将bring改为brings。
⑤考查连词。句意：虽然有些歌曲含有摇滚的节奏，但他们仍然可以让我感到平静和舒适。分析句子成分可知，although引导让步状语从句，连词but不可与although连用。故将but去掉。
⑥考查动词不定式。句意：我相信音乐能够传递各种情绪。be able to do能够做……，是固定短语。故将passing改为pass。
⑦考查现在分词和省略。句意：在为即将到来的一天做准备的同时，我喜欢把听音乐作为我早上的日常。本句为状语从句的省略，当while引导的状语从句的主语和主句主语一致时，从句主语可省略，省略原则是将主语和be动词同时省略。while引导的状语从句的完整形式为：while I am preparing for the coming day，故将prepared改为preparing。
⑧考查形容词。句意：在为即将到来的一天做准备的同时，我喜欢把听音乐作为我早上的常规工作。修饰名词用形容词形式。故将regularly改为regular。
⑨考查冠词。句意：此外，我计划学习弹钢琴。英语中，乐器前加定冠词the。故在piano前加the。
⑩考查虚拟语气。句意：没有歌曲和和声，我的生活将是完全空虚的。本句为without构成的虚拟语气，与现在事实相反，主句部分用would+动词原形。故将will改为would。
39、答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I visited your marine park with my friends yesterday. I’m sorry but I have to say that I was disappointed with the service your staff provided and the food your restaurant supplied.
When I came up to one of the waitresses to ask the way, she was rather impatient. What’s worse, she even laughed at me when I was about to leave. Besides, the steak I ordered in your restaurant was too tough and salty to enjoy.
I think that the service and food will also disappoint other customers. I hope that you will take measures to improve your service.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
