【答案】BADBD CABDD
【解析】文主要通过老师一节课上故意给出错误的信息,而同学们自己没有质疑,紧接着进行一次考试,同学
们以为考得好,但实际上所有人都没有及格的这样一次考试经历,说明了一个道理:教师和教科书并不总是
正确的,遇到疑问时不要让我们的大脑进入睡眠状态而要大声说出来。教学生们如何成为一个好的学者。
16.句意:我们都仔细地听着,把他说的每句话都做了笔记。
books书籍;notes笔记;supports支持;messages信息。根据“took …of everything he said”可知,此处构成take
notes短语,意为“做笔记”,故选B。
17.句意:当试卷交还给我时,我既惊讶又难过。
returned归还;directed指导;added增加;arrived到达。根据“there was a big red "×" through each of my
answers”可知,是试卷发下来了,也就是归还给了我,故选A。
18.句意:不管怎样,在试卷上,我已经把杰克逊先生在课堂上说的话记下来了。
cut down砍倒;turned down拒绝;broken down临时出故障;written down写下。根据“so the information in
your notes was not correct”可知,在笔记中写下了杰克逊先生的话,故选D。
19.句意:你期望用错误的答案得到高分吗?
useful有用的;high高的;exact确切的;low低的。根据“There had never been any such animal, so the
information in your notes was not correct.”可知,老师告诉的不是正确的,所以不会得到高分,故选B。
20.句意:不用说,我们都很生气。
polite礼貌的;glad高兴的;excited激动的;angry生气的。根据“What kind of test was this? What kind of
teacher was he?”可知,学生们在抱怨考试和老师,所以都很生气,故选D。
21.句意:我们学生怎么可能怀疑老师教给我们的东西呢?
praise赞扬;guard保卫;doubt怀疑;reflect反射。根据“How could we believe he gave us so much information
about an animal that had not been there at all?”可知难以相信老师教的东西是不存在的,此前没有怀疑过老师。
故选C。
22.句意:他说:“你们试卷上的零分将会被记录在你的成绩表里。”
recorded记录;described描述;collected收集;circled盘旋。根据“in your grade books”可知,是零分的成绩将
会被记录在成绩表里,故选A。
23.句意:老师和书本并不总是正确的。
interesting有趣的;right正确的;active主动的;silent安静的。根据上文“so the information in your notes was
not correct”可知,这次经历告诉我们老师和书本并不总是“正确的”,故选B。
24.句意:相反,如果我们认为老师的话或书中有错误,我们应该思考并大声地说出来。
decision决定;reasons理由;points点;mistakes错误。根据“Instead, we should keep thinking all the time andspeak up”可知,如果老师的话有错误,我们应该大声说出来,故选D。

Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express
through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to
meet again in the following year.
③Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease(疾病).
Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb(墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The
feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing
playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.

China has accepted western fashion and technology as it has developed these years, but a lot of young people
are turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional “hanfu”.
As the government encourages the renaissance (复兴) of traditional culture, hunfu is getting more and morepopular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us
back to the Han dynasty (汉朝). We learn more about the history, culture and beauty from them.
Hanfu hasn’t been in the same style since the Han dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in
common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can’t be
seen.
In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.
“Clothes are the basic part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in
culture,” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional

DHumans share the earth with different kinds of wildlife. Humans, plants and animals are connected and depend
on each other. They are all important parts of the rich biodiversity (生物多样性) of the earth. However, many kinds
of plants or animals are becoming endangered over the past years because of climate (气候) change and human
activities.
Humans are one of the main reasons for this. According to a report by the United Nations in 2019, the world’s
population has doubled (from 3. 7 to 7. 6 billion) in the past 50 years. Humans have used more than one third of the
world’s land and 75 percent of freshwater. Besides, some human activities like cutting down forests and polluting
rivers also do harm to the environment. As a result, there are fewer habitats (栖息地) and natural resources (资源)
available for animals, as well as more pollution.
To deal with the problem, many countries have taken action. As one of the countries with the richest
biodiversity in the world, China has taken an active part in biodiversity protection. The Chinese government has
developed laws to protect wildlife and set up a biodiversity monitoring (监测) network. It has also built nature
reserves (保护区) with national parks. From January 1, 2019, the first local law about biodiversity protection was
developed in Yunnan province. Yunnan lies in the mountains area of Southwest China and it is the area with the
richest biodiversity in China and it is also the most successful area in China’s biodiversity protection. For this
reason, in 2021, COP 15 was held in Kunming and was a great success.
Biodiversity protection requires efforts from the whole world and China is now playing a leading role in
protecting biodiversity, hoping to build a green home for both humans and nature.
36. What can we learn from paragraph 1 about the biodiversity of the earth?
A. Humans live on the earth and own the earth.
B. There is no connection between humans, plants and animals.
C. Humans, plants and animals are all important parts of biodiversity.
D. The biodiversity of the earth is mainly influenced by climate change.
37. What caused the fewer habitats and natural resources for animals?
A. Climate change. B. Short for freshwater.
C. Environment pollution. D. Doubled population and human activities.
38. What did Chinese government do to protect the biodiversity of the earth EXCEPT?
A. Develop laws. B. Set up monitoring network.
C. Build nature reserves. D. Plan trees and save freshwater.
39. Why was Yunnan chosen to hold COP 15?
A. Because it lies in the mountains area of southwest China.
B. Because it developed the first local law about biodiversity protection.C. Because it has the richest biodiversity in China and does well in biodiversity protection.
D. Because it has built nature reserves with national park.
40. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. China is working on the protection of biodiversity.
B. Help save the endangered animals.
C. China’s nature reserves with national parks.
D. Human activities do harm to the biodiversity of the earth.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. D 39. C 40. A
【解析】本文主要描述了野生动物目前的现状,造成这种现状的原因以及倡导人们行动起来改善现状。
36.细节理解题。根据“Humans, plants and animals are connected and depend on each other. They are all
important parts of the rich biodiversity (生物多样性) of the earth.”可知,人、植物和动物是相互联系、相互依存
的。 它们都是地球丰富的生物多样性的重要组成部分。所以从第一段中我们可以知道人类、植物和动物都是
生物多样性的重要组成部分。故选C。
37.细节理解题。根据“Humans have used more than one third of the world’s land and 75 percent of freshwater.
Besides, some human activities like cutting down forests and polluting rivers also do harm to the environment. As a
result, there are fewer habitats (栖息地) and natural resources (资源) available for animals, as well as more
pollution.”可知,人类已经使用了世界上超过三分之一的土地和75%的淡水;此外,一些人类活动,如砍伐森
林和污染河流也对环境造成危害。结果,动物的栖息地和自然资源越来越少,污染也越来越严重。故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据“The Chinese government has developed laws to protect wildlife and set up a biodiversity
monitoring (监测) network. It has also built nature reserves (保护区) with national parks.”可知,中国政府已经制
定了保护野生动物的法律,并建立了生物多样性监测网络, 还建立了自然保护区和国家公园。 故选D。
39.细节理解题。根据“Yunnan lies in the mountains area of Southwest China and it is the area with the richest
biodiversity in China and it is also the most successful area in China’s biodiversity protection. For this reason, in
2021, COP 15 was held in Kunming and was a great success.”可知,云南地处中国西南山区,是中国生物多样性
最丰富的地区,也是中国生物多样性保护最成功的地区,因此2021年在昆明举办了第十五届缔约方大会。故
选C。
40.最佳标题题。本文主要描述了野生动物目前的现状,造成这种现状的原因以及倡导人们行动起来改善现状。
选项A“中国正在努力保护生物多样性”符合主题,故选A。

第2卷 非选择题(共30分)
第一节、 短文填空(5分)
No one wants to lose. We enjoy the feeling of being a w____46____. But we also need to learn from the
unsuccessful experiences.
During the sports month at our school, all of the classes in Grade 8 played volleyball against each other. After
losing one of our games, no one in our class felt p____47____. It was like big, black clouds hanging over the
classroom. Some of us even c____48____ sadly. I asked myself, “How did we let this happen? ”
The answer was clear. Our players practised a lot. But during the practice time, we didn’t find out the right
way to do better u____49____ the two days before the sports month. I guessed the way we practised didn’t help us
win. So it meant that our practice time was wasted. Also, we were too nervous to face the challenge from the other
team while we were playing. Later in the game, we made a lot of mistakes. That was why we lost so many points in
the second round.
Life is full of unexpected failures. Sometimes, we are fighting with ourselves. Because of our work, we will
win. And because of our faults, we will lose. We should face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is
useless to find an e____50____ for our failure. So, just keep going and trying our best, in a right way.
【答案】46. winner 47. pleased 48. cried 49. until 50. excuse
【解析】本文主要介绍了我们喜欢做一个获胜者的感觉,不喜欢失败的感觉,我们要正确面对失败。
46.根据“No one wants to lose. We enjoy the feeling of being a…”及首字母提示可知,此处应是表达大家都不
喜欢失败,都喜欢做一个获胜者的感觉,“获胜者”用名词winner来表达,前面的词语是不定冠词a,所以要
用单数名词。故填(w)inner。
47.根据“After losing one of our games, no one in our class felt…”及首字母提示可知,在输掉了我们中的一场
比赛之后,我们班里没有人感到高兴。前面的词语是系动词 felt, 所以要用形容词pleased来填空。故填
(p)leased。
48.根据“After losing one of our games, no one in our class felt …It was like big, black clouds hanging over theclassroom. Some of us even…sadly.”及首字母提示可知,此处表达输了比赛大家都很难受,甚至我们中的一
些人甚至难过的哭了,用cry来表达;根据“was”可知,时态应用一般过去时。故填(c)ried。
49.根据“…we didn’t find out the right way to do better…the two days before the sports month.”及首字母提示
可知,此处表达直到比赛前两天我们才找到做的更改的办法,“直到……才……”用固定短语not ... until ...
来表达。故填(u)ntil。
50.根据“We should face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is useless to find an…for our failure.”及
首字母提示可知,此处表达失败了应勇于承认,为失败找借口是没有用处的,“借口”用excuse表达,前面
的词语是不定冠词an,所以名词要用单数。故填(e)xcuse。

【答案】例文:
Dear John,
It has been so long since I said goodbye to you. I never forget your kindness, so I’ve chosen two gifts for you
and your parents.
I always think that a paper fan will be a wonderful present for boys, so I’ve got a very cool one for you. The
fan is made of paper and some pieces of bamboo. With a Chinese character which means “handsome” , the fan
shows my sincere appreciation for your great help to me. I hope you will like it.
For your parents, I bought a beautiful Chinese knot which is in the shape of a heart. Most importantly, the
Chinese character in the center of it means double happiness. Put it on the wall in the room and good luck will
certainly come.
Although we live so far away from each other, I believe that the gift can connect our hearts and our
friendships. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
