it, leaving Joe to feel ____27____.
What they said was “Let Joe do it.” For example, if Joe was reaching out to pick up a glass, it would often end
up falling to the floor, and his mother would say, “Oh no, let Joe do it.”
第7页/共21页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司There were other sayings, too. When he played softball with his family and he was in the perfect position (位
置) to make a catch, somebody would call out, “Watch, Joe will drop it,” and sure enough, he did. If he was batting
(击球) and he had an easy ball coming towards him, someone would call out, “Joe will ____28____ it,” and that’s
what he did.
When he got to high school Joe began to discover (发现) things could be ____29____. Some of his friends
decided to form a football team and invited Joe to join them. “No, I’m no good at sports,” he said quickly. “Come
on, we know how good you are at running,” his friends said.
Finally, they practiced together and Joe found he was not much worse than anyone else. In their first match,
Joe ____30____ himself by being the first to score a goal. He became a hero. He found that he could play quite
well.
As Joe grew up, he began to realize (意识到) that the words “Let Joe do it” could mean something different.
That is to learn to hold a ____31____ or learn to become good at softball.

使得他感到很糟糕，随着Joe的长大，他开始意识到这句话可能意义不同，他也能够微笑地面对别人的批
评，因为那是成长的一部分。
【27题详解】
句意：他们说的时候都笑了，让Joe感到很糟糕。
happy高兴的；bad糟糕的；relaxed放松的；tired疲劳的。根据“You may think it was a compliment (褒奖).

第8页/共21页

was in the perfect position (位置) to make a catch, somebody would call out, ‘Watch, Joe will drop it,’ and sure
enough, he did.”可知，此处是指即使这个球很容易，他也会错过它。故选A。
【29题详解】
句意：当他上高中时，Joe开始发现事情可能有所不同。
interesting有趣的；difficult困难的；different不同的；important重要的。根据“Some of his friends decided

【30题详解】
句意：在他们的第一场比赛中，Joe第一个进了一个球，这让他自己都感到吃惊。
surprised惊讶；enjoyed享受；improved提高；taught教。根据“being the first to score a goal.”可知，成为第
一个进球的人，他对自己感到很吃惊。故选A。

It was a sunny weekend. Laura and Amanda were sitting on the beach, ready to take part in the sand sculpture
contest（沙滩雕塑比赛）. The two sisters had been building sandcastles（沙堡）for years. They were really good
at it. People often stopped to enjoy their work.
“I am confident about the sand sculpture contest. Let’s try to come up with a winning idea for today. We should
make something really unusual this time. How about a big fish or something like that?” said Laura.
“I think we should make a sandcastle town, like we always do. Look, I collected all these shells（贝壳）for the
walls of the sandcastle town,” Amanda said. She pointed at the shells of all sizes.
“Come on, let’s do something different,” Laura shouted. “Think big!”
“I don’t know,” Amanda said. “I think I will stick to（坚持）the sandcastle plan.” She held a lot of sand in her
hands, trying to make it into a castle corner.
“I’ll just make my own, then.” Laura got angry so she walked a few meters away and then started to make her
own sculpture.
At the end of the day, Laura gave up on her sculpture of a big fish attacking（攻击）a castle. It looked like a
funny house with something silly on it. Laura wanted to make it better but she didn’t have time to improve it.
Amanda had made a small castle decorated（装饰）with a lot of shells. Around it, Amanda managed to build
farmland out of the sand, but she didn’t finish as she had spent most of her time making little shell animals.
Looking around, Laura and Amanda realized that neither of them would win the contest. Laura’s sculpture was
missing Amanda’s skillful touch, and Amanda’s castle was missing Laura’s big ideas.
36. What were the two sisters good at?
A. Making plans. B. Collecting shells. C. Decorating houses. D. Building sandcastles.
37. What did Amanda want to make?
A. A street corner. B. A sandcastle town. C. A funny house. D. A big fish on a castle.
38. Why did Laura get angry?
A. Because Laura hoped to make something new but Amanda didn’t want to.
B. Because Laura wanted to give up the contest but Amanda didn’t agree.
C. Because Amanda got help from her art teacher but Laura didn’t.
D. Because Amanda finished her sculpture but Laura didn’t.
39. What can we learn from the story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. Actions speak louder than words.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了两姐妹建沙堡的故事，故事告诉我们，三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The two sisters had been building sandcastles（沙堡）for years. They were really good at
it.”可知，这两姐妹很擅长搭建沙堡。故填D。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘I think we should make a sandcastle town, like we always do. Look, I collected all these
shells（贝壳）for the walls of the sandcastle town,’ Amanda said.”可知，阿曼达说：“我认为我们应该像往
常一样建造一个沙堡镇。瞧，我收集了建造沙堡镇所需要的贝壳。”,故选B。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据“‘I’ll just make my own, then.’ Laura got angry so she walked a few meters away and then
started to make her own sculpture.”可知，劳拉想要做一些不一样的，但阿曼达不同意，因此她就生气地走
开了，然后开始制作她自己的雕塑。故选A。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Looking around, Laura and Amanda realized that neither of them would win the contest.
Laura’s sculpture was missing Amanda’s skillful touch, and Amanda’s castle was missing Laura’s big ideas.”可知，
环顾四周，劳拉和阿曼达意识到他们都不会赢得比赛。劳拉的雕塑缺少了阿曼达娴熟的触感，阿曼达的城
堡也缺少了劳拉的宏伟构想。由此可知，故事告诉我们，三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮。故选C。
C
Have you ever thought about what astronauts eat when they’re in space? What would they eat if they had to
travel all the way to Mars (火星) ? A lot of the food astronauts eat is processed (加工过的) because it’s simple to
eat and easy to take into space. However, some vitamins (维生素) can break down if the food is stored for a long time.
People may have health problems if they eat processed food every day.
Growing fresh food in space might help astronauts stay healthy. It would also give them more food choices.
Fresh vegetables grown on Earth have many nutrients (营养物质) that processed food do not have. However, we
don’t know if vegetables grown in space are the same. Another worry is making sure that these vegetables don’t have
the bacteria or fungi (细菌或真菌) that could make people sick.
第12页/共21页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Luckily, we have a plant growth room called Veggie on ISS (the International Space Station). We used Veggie
to find out if it’s possible to grow nutritious and safe food in space.
We used Veggie to grow red lettuce (红生菜) over three years. We compared these (ISS-grown) vegetables to
those grown at the same time on Earth. They were grown under the same conditions as on the ISS. We did research
on the leaves and roots of all the lettuce plants. And we did not find any differences in nutrients between ISS-grown
lettuce and Earth-grown produce. This means that it is possible to grow nutritious and safe food on ISS and astronauts
should be able to eat vegetables grown in Veggie without worrying about getting sick.
Even though our lettuce is safe to eat, we still need to work out two problems. Firstly, there are more bacteria
and fungi on ISS-grown lettuce. The wet environment in Veggie is probably the reason. Secondly, there are some
differences in nutrients between the vegetables we grew in different years. Plants can change with too much or too
little water, but it is hard to water plants in zero gravity (零重力) . Therefore, we need to make sure that growing
environments are consistent in Veggie. Then astronauts can be confident about the nutrients in their food during
their long stay in space.
40. The researchers grew red lettuce in Veggie to ______.
A. decide what kind of food astronauts should eat in space
B. find out how to keep astronauts safe and healthy in space
C. check if fresh vegetables can be processed safely in space
D. test if it’s possible to grow nutritious and safe food in space
41. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Earth-grown vegetables are safer and have more nutrients.
B. ISS-grown lettuce of different years has different nutrients.
C. Scientists wanted to understand nutrients in processed food.
D. Fewer bacteria and fungi were found on ISS-grown vegetables.
42. What do the underlined words “are consistent” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Stay unchanged. B. Become special. C. Stay comfortable. D. Become enjoyable.
43. The last paragraph suggests that ______.
A. Veggie plays an important part in astronauts’ healthy eating
B. astronauts need to keep the plant growth room dry and clean
C. researchers didn’t find out what food could be grown in space
D. scientists need to do further research on planting food in space
【答案】40. D 41. B 42. A 43. D
【解析】
第13页/共21页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家尝试在太空种植蔬菜。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“This means that it is possible to grow nutritious and safe food on ISS and astronauts should
be able to eat vegetables grown in Veggie without worrying about getting sick.”可知，测试是否有可能在国际空
间站上种植有营养和安全的食物，故选D。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据“And we did not find any differences in nutrients between ISS-grown lettuce and Earth-grown
produce.”可知，ISS种植的生菜和地球种植的生菜在营养成分上有任何差异，故选B。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Therefore, we need to make sure that growing environments are consistent in Veggie. Then
astronauts can be confident about the nutrients in their food during their long stay in space.”可知，只有确保蔬菜
的生长环境是一致的，宇航员才能对食物中的营养成分充满信心，因此“are consistent”意为“Stay
unchanged.”。故选A。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Even though our lettuce is safe to eat, we still need to work out two problems.”可知，还有
一些问题要去解决，因此科学家还要进一步做研究，故选D。

Traditions are important. They tell us who we are and who we are becoming. Traditions connect us to our history,
present and future. When celebrating them, we feel accepted, comfortable and safe.
When we were young, we all had traditions that were important to us. As we have grown older, we still celebrate
many of them in new places and in different ways. But have you ever thought about creating your own traditions?
It’s a fun practice and can bring you special memories! Here is how you can get started.
First of all, it is OK to try different ideas. Maybe you have got an idea you love, but no one else does. It’s fine
to try something else. Remember that traditions can grow, develop and change over time. When your group size or
interests change, you can change your tradition accordingly (相应地) to make it happen.
It’s a good idea to ask more people to create traditions together. The reason is that people will find a tradition
more meaningful if they start it themselves. And there are many ways to let everyone take part. For example, you can
invite people to help name the tradition or choose a date to celebrate.
Finally, traditions don’t have to be big things. Find something that is important and celebrate it. Pick a favorite
holiday, or season and find something that your friends or family like and do it. You don’t have to start traditions on
holidays, either. Just pick a restaurant to eat at every year on birthdays or go to the same place seasonally. Pick a night

family. The most important thing is to find something that is meaningful and that people like.
Remember that the more joyous or fun a tradition is, the more likely your family and friends will want to keep
it. Your traditions are just that—yours.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司February.
There are plenty of customs we should follow during the Spring Festival. To begin with, we should put the
Chinese character “Fu” upside down on doors, because that means we will be very happy in the coming year. Also,
we must wear red clothes, which will bring us good luck. However, there are certain things we shouldn’t do. For
example, we shouldn’t do any cleaning on the first day of Spring Festival, because we believe that we will sweep
away good luck. What’s more, we should be very careful not to break anything, because breaking things may bring
bad luck.
I think Spring Festival customs are very important and make Chinese New Year special and meaningful.

“Wow!” the children shouted with excitement. A giraffe, a zebra, a lion, a tiger and a turtle!
Even the painter couldn’t believe his eyes.
“These animals still need a coat of paint,” the woodcutter said.
“Can we paint them?” the children begged (祈求).
“Of course,” he said, “as soon as I get some paint.”
“Wait. We’ll get the paint,” said the neighbors, rushing home. They returned with the paint and paintbrushes.
Everyone crowded in the square to paint the animals. When they finally finished, they talked and laughed in
front of the orange giraffe, the pink turtle and the zebra in yellow and purple.
“I couldn’t have done a better job,” said the woodcutter, smiling.

“It’s not for sale. But I will donate(捐赠) one piece.” All the people cheered. “Thank you for your gift. It’s more
