I. Choose the best answer (选择最恰当的答案)
(本大题共 15 题，每题 1 分，共 15 分。每题只有一个正确选项)
1．I was passing by when the traffic accident ________.
A．takes place B．happened C．took place D．happens
【答案】B
【详解】句意：交通事故发生时，我正好经过。
考查动词辨析和动词短语以及时态。happen与take place都表示发生，happen常指偶然或
者突发性事件，如交通事故等，take place则侧重有计划有原因的发生。题干中是交通事故
则用happen，其次结合“I was passing by”可知，句子应用一般过去时，故选B。

A．didn’t they B．didn’t she C．did they D．did she
【答案】C
【详解】句意：丽丽和她的朋友很少买一些花来装饰她们的办公室，是吗？
考查反义疑问句。根据句中的“rarely”可知陈述句部分是否定，反意疑问句用肯定，原句
是一般过去时，助动词用did；主语“Lily and her friend”是复数，反意疑问句用they代替，
所以反意疑问句是did they。故选C。
3．—As for me, it is _______ honor to have such a close friend like you.
— Me too.
A．a B．an C．the D．/
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——对于我来说，有你这样亲密的朋友是我的荣幸。——我也是。
考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a/an，意为“一”，表示泛指，a用于辅音音素前，an用于元音音素前；定冠词the，意为“这个，那个”，表示特指；/表示不填，零冠词。分析“it
is...honor to have such a close friend like you.”可知，空后的honor意为“荣幸”，是可数名
词，以元音音素开头，空格处意为“一种”，表示泛指，所以空格处填不定冠词an，故选
B。
4．The movie was good ________ the ending.
A．beside B．besides C．unless D．except for
【答案】D
【详解】句意：这部电影除了结局以外都很好。

定和附加的涵义，即表示“在……之外，还另加……”，后接名词、动词-ing形式或代词；
unless“除……之外、除非”是介词或连词；except for后接的词同句子中的整体词(主语)不
是同类的，指从整体中除去一个细节，一个方面。电影的结局属于整个电影中的一部分，
用except for来排除。故选D。

safe. She makes sure everyone who crosses her path has a better day. Miss Lisa is known in the
community for smiling and waving at everyone, whether the person is a kid, a parent or someone
just walking by.

family.” She has a special memory of the time a group of kindergarteners surprised her with a
news team to recognize her for her work.
Avery McCain is a third grader at Castle Hills. She agrees that Miss Lisa is a hometown hero.
Avery recalls (回忆) one time when she happened to be saved by Miss Lisa after she started

dogs and cats. She knows everyone and is so sincere. People in this neighbourhood look up to (仰
慕) her.”

the schoolchildren, and sometimes it was hard to wear a mask out in the heat. She is looking

Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know
that animals can understand information and use it. 45 , if we repeat words such as
Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of
dogs can understand more than one hundred words!
Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 46 good at learning words because they
have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move
sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the
dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the
sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have
done a job well and 47 whether the command is from their own farmer.
Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has
been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the
sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 48 the sound of a
human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the
wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult
orcas make. So, each group of orcas 49 from other groups.
Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could
understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and
grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even
understand the word none or zero. People once thought it was 50 to say someone had a
brain like a bird, but now it seems birds and other animals are smarter than we thought.

【导语】本文主要介绍了动物界中有些动物可以听得懂人类的指令。
45．句意：举个例子，如果我们对狗重复“下来”或“坐下”等词语，它们就会开始理解
并遵循指令。
As a result结果；For example举个例子；In fact事实上；What’s more另外。根据上文
“Scientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can
understand information and use it.”可知，此处举出小狗的实例说明动物可以理解并使用信息。
故选B。
46．句意：工作犬特别擅长学习词汇，因为它们必须仔细聆听指令。
especially特别地；obviously显而易见地；truly真实地；recently最近。此处应用副词
especially修饰形容词good，强调特别擅长。故选A。
47．句意：它们还会知道自己的工作是否做得好，并识别命令是否来自自己的农夫。
wonder想知道；hestate犹豫；recognize识别；guess猜测。根据“whether the command is
from their own farmer”可知此处指小狗能识别主人的指令。故选C。
48．句意：她通过将空气推入气孔来发出声音，但令人惊讶的是，她可以模仿人的声音。
follow跟随；create创造；operate操作；copy复制，模仿。根据下文“If she listens to
children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words.”可知，虎鲸会模仿人类的声音。
故选D。
49．句意：因此，每群虎鲸的交流方式都与其他群组不同。
communicates in a different way以不同的方式交流；stays in a distance保持距离；moves

live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make.”
可知，同个群体的虎鲸幼体发出的声音与成年虎鲸相似，由此可知不同群体的交流方式不
同。故选A。
50．句意：人们曾经认为说某人拥有像鸟一样的脑袋是不礼貌的，但现在看来鸟类和其他
动物比我们想象的更聪明。
strange奇怪的；puzzling令人不解的；calm冷静的；rude不礼貌的。根据“once thought”
和“smarter than we thought”可知，鸟儿比我们想象中聪明，所以之前人们的看法是认为
鸟儿不聪明，因此说人的脑袋和鸟儿一样，是不礼貌的说法。故选D。C.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter（炼铜
厂）. It made chemicals come out and made a beautiful forest become a wasteland. One day a
young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down angrily.
From then on, something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had
any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry
was “No”.
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said
since there weren’t any birds or squirrels（松鼠） to spread the seeds, it would be a waste of
his life to try to do it. He was told everyone knew that even if he was knowledgeable as he had
expected, he wouldn't get his idea accepted.
Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night
he did what he could with what he had. To bring trees back to the wasteland, he went secretly
into the wasteland and started planting under the cover of darkness. And every week, he made
his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.
Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the
company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing. Now the place is fourteen
thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental
award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white to plant trees and grass, but he managed
to keep that impossible vow（誓言）he made to himself as a child.
58．What did the copper smelter do to a beautiful forest near Paul’s hometown?
59．The copper smelter officer agreed to let Paul bring trees back at first, didn't he?60．Why did Paul’s teachers think it would be a waste of time to try to plant trees in that area?
61．What did Paul do in order to bring trees back to the wasteland?
62．How long did it take Paul to plant trees and grass?
63．What can you learn from Paul’s story?
【答案】58．It made chemicals come out and made a beautiful forest become a wasteland.
59．No, he didn’t. 60．Because there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.
61．He went secretly into the wasteland and planted trees and grass every week. 62．It
took him until his hair turned white. 63．We should try our best and never give up.

to spread the seeds,”可知，因为并没有鸟和松鼠来传播种子，所以种树没有意义。故填

darkness. And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and
grass.”可知，他每周趁着夜色进废地，坚持种树和草。故填He went secretly into the

【答案】例文
Dear president,
I am writing this letter to you very carefully. We all know that the beautiful environment and
rich activities make our school life full of laughter and harvest. However, there are still some
inappropriate behaviors in schools.
For example, some students throw away rubbish everywhere. And some people destroy public
property. I think we should take some measures to stop them from doing these. We can put some
signs to tell the students to take care of flowers and trees. At the same time, we can also hold
some speeches to let the students know the importance of protecting the environment.
I think the school environment will become more and more beautiful under everyone’s effort.
Yours,
Li Hua
