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

一、阅读理解
It was June a few years ago right around the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
A few weeks earlier, the first fireflies (萤火虫) had appeared blinking (眨眼) their lights on and off in the woods around my house. What a joy it was seeing them again. Their little flickers (闪烁) of light made me smile with delight.
As the daylight was starting to fade. I saw out my window some of the neighborhood children attempting to catch the slow moving lightening insects. One of the girls went inside and came back with a clear glass bottle. After chasing a few without success, she finally caught a firefly inside it. All the other children gathered around to watch it flickering its light on and off inside the bottle. Soon darkness started to fall and the girl’s mom walked over to them and told them it was time to set the firefly free. One of the girls protested, but the mom explained that the firefly would die if left in the bottle. Then she said something that still stays in my heart to this day, “It is time to let this little guy go so it can share its light with the rest of the world!”
I think we may share our light with the rest of the world, We may give our love to others. We may keep shining. I remember when I was a child we all used to sing the song, “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!” But as adults we find it hard to do so. We stay at the darkness too much and hide our light in fear. Don’t hide your light. Don’t keep it in a bottle. Share your flickers, no matter how small they may be. Let the love inside you out. Let the light within you drive the darkness away.

C．He could walk outside in the light of fireflies.

2．What did the girl want to do with the firefly?
A．Keep it in the container. B．Let it free in no time.

A．Kind. B．Calm. C．Demanding. D．Casual.
4．Why did the author mention the song in the last paragraph?

Olly Neal grew up in Arkansas. He didn’t care much for high school. One day during his senior year, he cut class and walked into the school library. He discovered a book written by Frank Yerby. The book was The Treasure of Pleasant Valley and it attracted Neal’s attention. But there was one problem — if Neal took the book to the check out counter (收银台), his friends would know he was reading books.
“Then my fame (名誉) would be down,” Neal said. “I wanted them to know that all I could do was fight and cuss (咒骂).” Finally, Neal decided to steal the book.
A week later, Neal had finished the book. He brought it back to the library. But when he put it back, there was another book by Yerby. He took it as well. The same thing happened again. He read four of Yerby’s books that term — checking out none of them.
But Neal’s sneaky action turned out not to have been so sneaky after all. Attending his 13-year high school get-together, Neal met the school’s librarian, Mildred Grady. She saw Neal take that book. She said, “My first thought was to call him out, and then I realized what his situation was. So I decided that if Neal was showing an interest in books, I would find another one for him and put it in the same place where the one he had taken was.”
This was not an easy matter, because Frank Yerby’s books were not especially available. But the woman’s efforts paid off: Neal went on to attend law school and later became a great judge. When Grady died, Neal told the story and he said, “I thank Mrs. Grady for helping me get into the habit of enjoying reading, so that I was able to go to law school and survive.”
5．Why did Neal steal the book instead of checking it out?
A．To prove he was a skillful thief.
B．To show the book to his friends.
C．To keep being known as a troublemaker.
D．To avoid communicating with the librarian.
6．What does the underlined word “sneaky” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Secret. B．Dangerous. C．Brave. D．Illegal.
7．How did Mrs. Grady influence Neal?
A．She taught Neal how to survive.
B．She persuaded Neal to be honest.
C．She encouraged Neal to study law.
D．She helped Neal develop reading habits.
8．What’s the best title for the text?
A．Reading changes people’s life
B．A librarian changed a boy’s life
C．A senior student became a judge
D．Frank Yerby’s books attracted a boy

For Chinese students nowadays, no matter what kind of schools they’re going to, they have to face the problem of learning English. All examinations they want to pass require them to pass English. Examinations for entering further education, studying abroad and even graduating from college require scores in English examinations. English has become the most popular course in tutorial classes and even in the self-study classroom.
When nearly all students’ attention is focused on English, looking at the situation of our mother language, even Chinese linguists get confused about its use. Not only have many new words and phrases which are very popular on the Internet started to fill in every corner of the society, but common use of Chinese is full of mistakes and misunderstandings.
Under such urgent situation for the Chinese language, it’s time for every Chinese person to start protecting our mother tongue.
Chinese has the most speakers of any world language and also is one of the oldest in history. Around the world, many countries have started learning Chinese and Chinese has become one of the most important foreign languages in some foreign countries. Besides, there are 282 Confucius institutions in 88 countries and regions in the world that are teaching Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese is about 50 million outside China.
For those foreigners that are so crazy about Chinese language, what kind of attitude should the Chinese have? Honestly speaking, learning English itself shouldn’t be criticized, and we need to learn English to communicate with the world to show our culture and society.
However, it doesn’t make any sense that the importance of Chinese is replaced by a foreign language in a native’s mind. It’s really time to protect our Chinese language! Are you ready?
9．Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?
A．Language study is a problem of the world.
B．It’s time to protect Chinese language.
C．Chinese is becoming more important than English.
D．It’s unnecessary for Chinese people to learn English.
10．Some Chinese linguists get confused about the use of Chinese because ________.
A．more and more new words are used
B．great changes have taken place in Chinese
C．they could not understand network vocabulary
D．there are too many mistakes and misunderstandings
11．The writer describes the situation of English in China so as to________.
A．explain how popular English is
B．prove the importance of English
C．remind us to concern the situation of Chinese
D．encourage us to use Chinese rather than English
12．According to the passage, we should learn English to ________.
A．introduce our culture and society to the world
B．build more Confucius institutions abroad
C．study abroad to get further education
D．get promoted in your favorite jobs

Pickled sides are Chinese people’s solution to tasteless food. Just a spoonful of sauce or pickled vegetables over rice can make a meal taste a million times better.
During busy work schedules, many young people in China don’t have the luxury of enjoying insightful conversations with friends and family at the dinner table. Instead, they find themselves eating alone.
Chinese youth are kept company during these 20-to-30-minute windows by TV shows or short videos, which they stream on their phone, tablet, or television. On the Internet, such content has been called “digital pickled vegetables”.
Some popular picks include classic Chinese dramas and situation comedies (sitcoms) like Empresses in the Palace and My Own Swordsman. American sitcoms such as Friends and How I Met Your Mother are also favored for their amusing jokes and simple story lines. You don’t need to know anything about either to get a good laugh from a random episode.
Some have questioned the value of such videos, pointing out that some explainers ruin good films and books and that no-brainer mini-series aren’t informational. On the other hand, we see nothing wrong with some harmless fun to accompany a lonely meal after a long day of work. Instead of being accompanied by friends and family during meal my young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos.
Can this habit affect your diet? According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more unconsciously. An international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction (分心). After analyzing their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased intake of calories by about 15 percent.
To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to a recording about another person eating and the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they were more focused on their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
13．Why do many Chinese young people eat alone?
A．They hate to share food with workmates. B．They fail to have the luxury of dining space.
C．They tend to have busy work timetables. D．They prefer not to talk with strangers.
14．What do the underlined words “digital pickled vegetables” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Videos you watch while eating. B．Sauce you choose while eating.
C．Vegetables you like while eating. D．Games you play while eating.
15．Why do we eat more with “digital pickles”?
A．They increase our feeling of hunger. B．They make the food more delicious.
C．They draw our attention to the diet. D．They shift our attention from the meals.


二、七选五
When we’re bored, most of us end up being glued to a phone. That might ease our boredom. 16 That time could’ve been spent on a different, more valuable activity. The following will help ease your boredom, and teach you to use time more productively.
Reading.
17 That’s because they were forced to read at school. But when you have the option to choose which book you’re going to read, you can understand why it’s enjoyable. Not only can it help ease your boredom, it’s also one of the best ways to expand your knowledge.
18
People often forget why they’re pursing something in the first place. Some may not even be sure what they’re supposed to be doing in their daily life. This lack of direction then often shows up as boredom. That’s why having goals is important.
Exercise.
Exercise is good and should be done frequently. 19 Most people who exercise do it to look better in the mirror. But there’s another reason why you should exercise, it improves our brain function.
Cleaning up your room.
Take a look around right now. Chances are that the space you’re in, is far from clean. However, you have to change that, as our physical environment has a huge impact on our cognition, behavior and decision making. 20 But once we remove all this visual mess from our environment, we’re able to focus and process information much better.

B．Planning and goal setting.
C．But there’s an opportunity cost.

The use of chopsticks has been 41 big part of Chinese food culture for centuries. When cooking food or picking it up, a pair of chopsticks always comes for use.
So how did chopsticks come into being? It’s said that Dayu, a legendary ruler of ancient China 42 helped his people fight floods, invented them. In those days, people 43 (eat) only with their hands. But Dayu was busy preparing for flood control work and often had his meals in the wild. Mostly, he hurried to deal 44 unexpected accidents and didn’t want to wait to eat. The meat 45 (cook) in the pot was too hot to pick up with his hands. So one day Dayu picked up some twigs(细枝) 46 (help) him hold the meat. Later, the twigs 47 (gradual) became the chopsticks we know today.
But of course, this is just a story. The 48 (early) chopsticks archaeologists(考古学家) have found so far are more than 3,000 years, 49 (date) back to the Shang Dynasty. The six bronze chopsticks were found in Yinxu, one of China’s oldest archaeological 50 (site) in Anyang, Henan Province.

3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“but the mom explained that the firefly would die if left in the bottle. Then she said something that still stays in my heart to this day, ‘It is time to let this little guy go so it can share its light with the rest of the world!’(但是妈妈解释说，如果把萤火虫放在瓶子里，它会死的。然后她说了一句至今仍在我心中的话，“是时候让这个小家伙离开了，这样它就可以与世界分享它的光明了！”)”可推断出，小女孩的妈妈心地善良，故选A。

7．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段内容“So I decided that if Neal was showing an interest in books, I would find another one for him and put it in the same place where the one he had taken was.(所以我决定，如果Neal对书有兴趣，我就给他再找一本，放在他拿走的那本的地方。)”和末尾段落内容“I thank Mrs. Grady for helping me get into the habit of enjoying reading, so that I was able to go to law school and survive.(我感谢Grady夫人帮助我养成了享受阅读的习惯，使我能够进入法学院并生存下来。)”可知，Grady夫人通过找到Neal感兴趣的书，将其置于Neal能够看到的位置，从而逐渐使Neal养成了阅读的习惯，这是她对Neal产生影响的方式。故选D项。

(这些时间本可以花在其他更有价值的活动上。)”可知，玩手机的时间其实被浪费了，即玩手机的时候也错过了“使用这些时间做其他有意义的事情”的机会，即这样做存在机会成本。C项“But there’s an opportunity cost. (但这是有机会成本的。)”和前文构成转折；后文是对C项的进一步解释说明。因此C项承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。

20．根据“Cleaning up your room. (打扫你的房间。)” 和后文“But once we remove all this visual mess from our environment, we’re able to focus and process information much better. (但一旦我们把这些视觉上的混乱从我们的环境中移除，我们就能更好地集中注意力和处理信息。)”可知，本段主题为要打扫房间，拥有一个整洁的生活环境。F项“When our surroundings are a mess, so are we. (当我们周围的环境一团糟时，我们自己也一样。)”说明了整洁环境的重要性，符合语境。故选F项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。几个世纪以来，使用筷子一直是中国饮食文化的重要组成部分。文章主要介绍了筷子的发明过程，以及迄今为止，考古学家发现的最早的筷子有3000多年的历史，可以追溯到商朝。
41．考查冠词。句意：几个世纪以来，使用筷子一直是中国饮食文化的重要组成部分。根据句意表示“……重要的一部分”短语为be a big part of。part为可数名词，big首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
42．考查定语从句。句意：据说，大禹是中国古代的一位传说中的统治者，他帮助他的人民抗击洪水。此处为限制性定语从句修饰先行词ruler，且先行词在从句中作主语，指人，故应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。
43．考查动词时态。句意：在那些日子里，人们只能用手吃饭。根据上文In those days可知描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填ate。
44．考查介词。句意：大多数情况下，他匆忙应对意外事故，不想等着吃饭。短语deal with表示“应对”。故填with。
45．考查非谓语动词。句意：锅里煮的肉太烫了，他用手抓不起来。分析句子结构可知cook在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语meat构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故填cooked。
46．考查非谓语动词。句意：于是有一天，大禹拿起一些树枝来帮他夹肉。分析句子结构可知help在句中应用非谓语动词形式，本句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to help。
47．考查副词。句意：后来，细枝逐渐成为我们今天所知道的筷子。修饰后文动词become应用副词gradually，作状语。故填gradually。
48．考查最高级。句意：迄今为止，考古学家发现的最早的筷子已有3000多年的历史，可以追溯到商代。表示“最早的”应用最高级。故填earliest。
49．考查非谓语动词。句意：迄今为止，考古学家发现的最早的筷子已有3000多年的历史，可以追溯到商代。分析句子结构可知date back to与逻辑主语构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填dating。
50．考查名词的数。句意：这六只青铜筷子是在河南安阳的中国最古老的考古遗址之一殷墟发现的。site为可数名词，此处为one of+可数名词复数。故填sites。
51．1. shoppings→ shopping

4. sudden前面加a
5. but→and
6. injure→ injured
7. nearer→ nearest
8. 去掉visited后的to
9. something→ nothing
10. my→ his/ him
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者外出购物时被摩托车撞伤并且去看医生的事情。
【详解】1. 考查名词单复数。句意：上周日，我在超市买完东西回家的路上。分析句子可知，shopping是不可数名词，不可使用复数形式。故将shoppings改为shopping。
2. 考查副词。句意：我站在路边，仔细地看着交通。分析句子可知，此处需用副词作状语修饰动词watch。故将careful改为carefully。
3. 考查时态。句意：当我看到马路是安全的，我开始过马路。根据上下文可知，文章使用了一般过去时，为保证时态一致性，此处应该用一般过去时。故将begin改为began。
4. 考查冠词。句意：突然，一辆摩托车开过来撞倒了我，我的东西撒得到处都是。分析句子可知，此处是固定短语，all of a sudden，意为“突然”。故在sudden前加a。
5.考查连词。句意：一辆摩托车开过来撞倒了我，我的东西撒得到处都是。分析句子可知，此处表示动作顺接，应用顺接连词and。故将but改为and。
6. 考查过去分词。句意：谢天谢地，他开得很慢，我的腿只是受了一点小伤。 分析句子可知，此处是固定结构have sth done，使用过去分词作宾补。故将injure改为injured。
7. 考查形容词最高级。句意：司机向我道歉，叫了一辆出租车把我送到镇上最近的医院。根据定冠词the可知，此处应该用形容词的最高级。故将nearer改为nearest。
8. 考查介词。句意：我去看了一位值班医生，医生告诉我情况不严重。分析句子可知，visit为及物动词，后面直接跟名词作宾语。故去掉visited后的to。
9.考查代词。句意：我去看了一位值班医生，医生告诉我情况不严重。根据后文“but I refused”（但是我拒绝了他给我付医药费），由此可知，作者的伤势并不太严重，应使用表示否定含义的不定代词nothing。故将something改为nothing。
10. 考查代词。句意：摩托车司机坚持要付检查的钱，但我拒绝了。结合文章可知，应该是摩托车司机撞伤作者后要付医药费，并且分析句子可知，insist on后跟动名词paying作宾语，前加his或him构成动名词的复合结构。故将my改为his/him。
