2.saying 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,cheered是谓语动词,say前没有并列连词,所以say只能用非谓语动词形式;主语与say之间是主动关系,故用动词-ing形式作状语。

Plays are an important part of British culture.The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play,but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country.
There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life.People from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs.They do it for fun,for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people.
Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor,but enthusiasm(热情) is considered to be more important than talent.Friends,family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg (走运)”.It’s a great way of bringing communities together.Also,in many rural parts of Britain,non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around.
Many people get a taste for acting at school.Every school puts on a play at least once per year,usually at Christmas,and parents love coming to watch their children perform.Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play,whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey.
Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime (童话剧).Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families.The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance—singing along with the music and shouting to the actors.Pantomimes are really fun to watch,especially for children.
British people love going to the theatre,professional or not,and many of them also enjoy performing.If you have the chance,go and see a play in the UK.
4.What matters most for an actor in a drama club,according to the article
A.Talent.
B.Enthusiasm.
C.Professional training.
D.Support from family.
5.According to the article,what is special about pantomimes
A.All the performers are professional child actors.
B.The audience is allowed to play some small roles in them.
C.The audience is encouraged to interact with the actors.
D.The musical comedy is always about family life.
6.According to the article, most Britain people     .
A.learn how to be a professional actor in school
B.consider acting to be their regular jobs
C.often participate in performance when in school
D.watch plays in the West End theatre district in London
7.What is the article mainly about
A.Reasons why British people love plays.
B.The origin of theatre traditions in the UK.
C.Rules for theatregoers to follow in the UK.
D.The popularity of non-professional plays in the UK.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述了在英国,非专业的戏剧表演也深受人们欢迎。阅读本文有利于培养学生了解其他国家文化的意识。
答案及剖析:
4.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段第一句可知,热情对于戏剧俱乐部的演员来说最为重要。故选B。
5.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据倒数第二段中的“Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families.The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance—singing along with the music and shouting to the actors.”可知,童话剧的特殊之处在于观众可以和演员互动。故选C。
6.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段第一句可知,大多数英国人在学校经常参加戏剧表演。故选C。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了京剧的形成历史。阅读本文有利于培养学生的民族自豪感和文化自信。
答案及剖析:
1.known 考查过去分词。分析句子可知,本句已有谓语is且无连词,其他动词用非谓语形式;主语Beijing Opera和动词know是逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词表被动,作状语。故填known。
2.a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一段200多年的历史”,history以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。
3.which 考查非限制性定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Anhui Opera,指物,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
4.was held 考查时态和语态。由时间状语In 1790可知,时态是一般过去时,主语the first Anhui Opera performance和谓语hold是被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态(was/were done),主语the first Anhui Opera performance是单数,谓语用单数形式。故填was held。
5.continued 考查时态。此处缺乏谓语,由语境和Later可知,事情发生在过去,时态用一般过去时。故填continued。
6.to move 考查动词不定式。固定搭配be easy to do sth.(很容易做某事),用动词不定式(to do)。故填to move。
7.making 考查现在分词。本句已有谓语accumulated且无连词,其他动词用非谓语形式;动词make的逻辑主语是前面的整个句子,它们是逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,作状语。故填making。
8.At 考查固定搭配。固定搭配at the end of...(在……的末尾),首字母需大写。故填At。
9.biggest 考查最高级。由of all operas in China可知,此处应用“the +形容词最高级”。故填biggest。
10.honestly 考查副词。此处用副词honestly(诚实地)作状语,修饰动词say。故填honestly。Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection

(Text 7)

W:Saturday mornings at 9:00.
M:That’s terrible.I can’t get up that early.
W:Well,if you need to practice before your trip to Spain,you should try hard to make it.
M:I usually stay up late with my friends on Fridays.
W:You can sacrifice some fun if this trip is important to you.

(Text 8)
M:I heard that you and your dad went deep sea fishing in the fall.Where did you go
W:We wanted to go to Florida,but we read online that the water was a little dirty.So,we decided to go to North Carolina instead,and it ended up being a good choice.The weather was perfect there!
M:Great!How did you get there
W:We had to drive through three states to get there.Driving through Georgia and South Carolina was horrible,though.The weather there was too wet.
M:That sounds like a long trip.I forgot how far North Carolina is from your home in Alabama.
W:I know,but once we got there,it was great.We caught tuna and sea bass.We wanted to catch some salmon,but we didn’t have any luck.
M:Maybe next time.
W:That’s what I’m hoping.We are going back next summer!That’s supposed to be the best season for salmon.I’ll be dreaming about it all winter!

M:Hello,madam.I know you saw the accident.Have you got a few minutes to tell me what you saw
W:Of course.I was standing over there,near the bus stop.I was on my way to get something for lunch.That’s when I saw the red car come out from the crossing over there.
M:You don’t happen to know what time it happened,do you
W:Well,I left work for my lunch break at twelve and it’s only about ten
minutes’ walk away.So it might have been about ten past twelve.
M:Did you get a view of who was in the car
W:There were three of them,two in the front,the driver,of course,someone in the passenger seat,and there was someone in the back.They were quite young.They might be just a little older than twenty.Anyway,they came speeding out of the side road and hit that lady’s bicycle.The driver didn’t bother to stop to find out if she was OK.He just drove off along the main road towards the town center.Is the woman OK
M:She seems fine.But the bike doesn’t look too good.OK.Thanks for your time.
(Text 10)
W:When I was 12,my parents moved out of Tokyo to a small village in Oxford.I was the only Asian girl in my school and I suddenly felt a bit lonely.Luckily,I had a brilliant art teacher who encouraged me to go to Art College.
However,on the day of my college interview in Bath,I woke up late.I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn’t notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag.Then when I finally got to the station,I got on the wrong train.Who knows,if I had gone to Bath that day,I might have become a professional artist.But I went to Sweden instead.I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened,and she suddenly cried with laughter.It turned out she was a producer of a comedy program on the radio.To cut a long story short,I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for a show,and the rest,as they say,is history.I am very lucky,and my life has been full of happy accidents.Now I am in charge of a very popular TV comedy program.

Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic,directed by Cameron,where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone It broke many people’s hearts.Two decades later,people are still asking the question,“Wasn’t there enough room on the door for both of them ”Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room,but buoyancy (浮力)— if both of them had tried to stay on the door,he argued,the whole thing would sink.
But several guys from “Mythbusters”,an Australian-American science entertainment television program,decided to put the theory to the test themselves.They discovered that if Rose had took off her life jacket to the bottom of the door,there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.
“It was an artistic choice,the thing was just big enough to hold her,and not big enough to hold him,”Cameron said.“I think it’s all kind of silly,really,that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so attractive to the audience that it hurts them to see him die.The film is about death and separation;he had to die.”
Since Jack was doomed to die,Cameron said,it could have happened in a variety of different ways.It’s not about the door not being big enough:that’s just a practical method for his death.“Whether it was that,or whether a chimney (烟囱) fell on him,he was going down,”Cameron said.“It’s called art:things happen for artistic reasons,not for physics reasons.”
24.According to Cameron,why can’t audience accept Jack’s death
A.They are artistic people.
B.They like the movie.
C.They love Jack.
D.They are eager for truth.
25.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Jack died by accident.
B.Jack’s death was unavoidable.
C.The chimney fell on Jack.
D.The door could make a difference.
26.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Jack had to die
B.A door of life and death
C.Audience knew better
D.Science behind movie
27.Where can you probably find this article
A.A popular magazine.
B.A movie poster.
C.A government report.
D.A notice board.
语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了电影《泰坦尼克号》中Jack因为救Rose而死,但是二十年后人们仍在纠结Jack是否真的非死不可这个问题,甚至有人专门进行了试验并把结果提交给电影导演Cameron。对此,Cameron的看法是Jack非死不可,并给出了理由。阅读本文有利于培养学生的批判思维意识。
答案及剖析:
24.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由倒数第二段中的“But it does show that...see him die.”可知,根据Cameron的说法,Jack对观众很有吸引力,以至于看到他死去,观众都会很伤心,说明观众爱Jack,所以不能接受Jack的死。故选C。
25.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段中Cameron的说法,Jack不管怎么样都必须死,只是死的方式不同,说明Jack的死是不可避免的。故选B。
26.A 标题归纳题。考查学生理解文章主旨要义并且归纳标题的能力。第一段讲“20年后,人们仍然在问这样一个问题:难道门上没有足够的空间容纳他们两个人,Jack必须要死吗 ”第二段讲“科学娱乐电视节目“Mythbusters”的几个人做了实验,发现如果Rose把救生衣脱到门的底部,就会有足够的浮力让他们两人都浮起来,说明Jack没必要死”。第三、第四段讲“Cameron认为Jack非死不可并给出了理由”。由此可知文章主要讲电影《泰坦尼克号》中的Jack非死不可,A项“Jack不得不死”符合文意,最适合做文章标题。故选A。
27.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。通读全文可知,文章讲述了电影《泰坦尼克号》中Jack因为救Rose而死,但是二十年后人们仍在纠结Jack是否真的非死不可这个问题,甚至有人专门进行了试验并把结果提交给电影导演Cameron。对此,Cameron的看法是Jack非死不可,并给出了理由。由此可知,本文是关于电影人物的探讨,可在一本受欢迎的杂志上看到。故选A。
C
“Screen time”is a term used for activities done in front of a screen,such as watching TV,working on a computer,or playing video games.Screen time means that you are being physically inactive while sitting down.Very little energy is used during the screen time.
Most American children spend about 3 hours a day watching TV.Added together,all types of screen time can total 5 to 7 hours a day.
Too much screen time can make it hard for you to sleep at night and put you at risk of having attention problems,experiencing anxiety and depression.What’s more,it may increase the risk of gaining too much weight.
Sitting and watching a screen means that time is not spent being physically active.
TV commercials and other screen ads can lead to unhealthy food choices.Most of the time,the foods in ads that are aimed at young children are high in sugar,salt or fat.
You may eat more when you are watching TV,especially when you see ads for food.
Computers can help you with your schoolwork.But surfing the Internet,spending too much time on social media,or watching online videos is considered unhealthy screen time.Despite what ads may say,videos that are aimed at young children do not support your development.
Cutting down your screen time to 2 hours a day can be hard for you,but you can still do something to improve your situation.You should also know that sedentary (不动的) activities affect your overall health and there are other things you can do to be healthier.
28.What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A.What screen time is.
B.The harm of screen time.
C.The data of screen time.
D.How to spend screen time.
29.How does the author introduce his worry about gaining weight
A.By doing research on it.

C.To share his suggestions about limiting screen time.
D.To make children realise the serious effects of screen time.
语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章说明了长时间的“屏幕时间”给我们生活和身体产生的危害,呼吁减少屏幕时间,做些使我们更健康的事情。阅读本文有利于帮助学生减少屏幕时间,培养良好的生活习惯,提高学生的健康意识。
答案及剖析:
28.A 主旨大意题。考查学生对理解段落主旨要义的能力。第一段给出了屏幕时间的定义,接着详细解释这一定义,所以第一段的大意是告诉读者什么是屏幕时间,故选A。
29.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第三段在作者提出过多的屏幕时间能够增加体重后,给出了三点:“ Sitting and watching a screen means...physically active. TV commercials and other screen ads...or fat. You may...see ads for food.”,这三点是解释过多的屏幕时间为什么会增加体重,是阐述的原因,选项C是通过介绍产生增重的原因来进行论证,选项C切题。
30.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章的最后“You should also know that...to be healthier.”可知作者接下来可能要讨论其他对健康有利的事,选项B是:“孩子要做什么来减少屏幕时间 ”选项B切题。
31.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。文章从屏幕时间的定义谈起,谈到屏幕时间过长可引起失眠、难以集中注意力、焦虑、抑郁和增加体重,接着呼吁可以做些对健康更有利的其他事,所以作者写作的意图就是使孩子们意识到屏幕时间过长的严重后果,从而改变这种现状,故选D。

Cowboys,policemen,princesses and superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given day.Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out their favorite characters as well as use their artistic ability to create the stage.
Best of all,they will be able to use their favourite line“look at me”as the audience sits down to enjoy the production.
Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out.Use the Internet or the library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids.For younger kids,they can act out a favorite story or a fairy tale.Of course,you could always help them write their own scripts.
Decide how many characters are needed.Invite neighbours and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character.Make sure you teach them to change the way they look,move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.
Search for costumes and props (道具) supplies.Find clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼),or go to a garage sale.Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup to represent their characters.
Get creative.Make tickets,invitations,movie posters and props for your
kids’ play.You can even decorate a curtain and hang it in front of the stage.Set up chairs for the audience.
Choose your music.Pick something that goes with the theme of the play.Ask someone to play the piano or have the kids make up songs and help them make homemade instruments.
Rehearse the play.The more the play is practiced,the better it will be.Try starting early in the summer and practicing once a week.Set out a snack after rehearsal and make it light-hearted and fun.Then perform the play at the end of the summer vacation.
Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.
32.Which of the following characters may not be chosen by kids

答案及剖析:
32.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第一段“Cowboys,...to be on any given day.”可知,牛仔、警察、公主和超级英雄都是孩子们在任何时候都会选择的角色。D项“乞丐”不是孩子们选择的角色。故D选项正确。
33.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第四段的第二句话“Invite neighbours and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character”可知,我们能从这篇文章中了解到孩子们可以在同一戏剧里扮演不同的角色。故C选项正确。
34.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。由倒数第二段第二句“The more the play is practiced,the better it will be.”可知,戏剧练习得越多,它的效果越好,所以通过上下文语境,可以判断出rehearse的意思和practice(练习)的意思相近。故C选项正确。
35.A 标题归纳题。考查学生对理解文章主旨要义并且归纳标题的能力。由第四段到倒数第二段首句“Decide how many characters are needed...Rehearse the play”可知,短文针对父母怎样才能帮助孩子表演好戏剧给出了一些建议,故短文的最佳标题为“如何帮助孩子们演戏剧”。故A选项正确。

You go home from work tiredly.You want to sit in front of the TV and watch something fun.What is better than a cartoon Both children and (most) adults love cartoons.Of course,there are cartoons that are directed specifically to adults.36.    So,why do adults like cartoons so much
They have well-written characters.
Well,there are plenty of reasons.37.    Screenwriters,designers,musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen.Cartoons have well-written characters facing complicated situations.Sometimes the scripts (剧本) are even better than those in adult films.So,it comes no surprise that cartoons appeal to grown-ups as well.
They bring out the child in us.
Remember the time It was a Saturday morning and we used to sit in front of the TV and enjoy cartoons.38.    What’s more,they show our inner child.By watching cartoons,we forget the trouble of everyday life and leave our problems behind.
We love heroes.
Almost every cartoon has to do with the journey of a character.It is a journey towards adulthood,or towards finding oneself,or succeeding in an adventure.And who doesn’t love heroes like that 39.    Plenty of times,the characters in cartoons are bigger-than-life and that’s what we need to believe humans (or animals) again.
40.  
Watching cartoons,the viewers enter fantastic worlds and cartoons have become works of art.Just remember the first scene in the Lion King.The sun comes up and animals from all over the jungle come to meet the new lion club.In recent years,cartoons use photo—realistic environments to make the scene bigger and better.
A.A feast for the eyes.
B.A little treat for adults.
C.Plenty of talent works in producing cartoons.
D.They remind us of ourselves,our strengths and weaknesses.
E.They bring out that specific feeling,longing for our lost childhood.
F.And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid’s movie more.
G.They overcome barriers trying to find true meaning and happiness in their existence.

36.F 考查学生理解上下文语义和建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据空格上下文“Both children and (most) adults love cartoons.”“So,Why do adults like cartoons so much ”分析选项可知F项符合语境,故选F。
37.C 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据小标题“They have well-written characters”,再结合“there are plenty of reasons”,下文中列举了是因为有许多人的努力才共同创造出非常棒的动画作品,由此可推断出C项符合语境,故选C。
38.E 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。本文的小标题为“They bring out the child in us”。分析选项可知E项“They bring out that specific feeling,longing for our lost childhood”与本段意义一致,而且有词语的复现,如“bring out”,以及“our lost childhood”符合语境,故选E。
39.G 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。本段的小标题为“We love heroes”以及文中的“Almost every cartoon has to do with the journey of a character.It is a journey towards adulthood,or towards finding oneself,or succeeding in an adventure”可知,动画中的英雄人物在冒险旅程中寻找自我,克服困难,获得成功。分析选项可知,G项与本段的意义一致,故选G。
40.A 考查学生理解上下文语义和建立段落内语义连贯的能力。分析最后一段尤其是第一句“Watching cartoons,the viewers enter fantastic worlds and cartoons have become works of art”内容可知,本段主要叙述了动画片把观众带入一个奇妙的世界,动画片已经成为艺术作品。由此可知动画片给我们带来视觉上的盛宴。分析选项可知A项“A feast for the eyes”符合语境,故选A。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day,the Mullah,an important man in the village,found his donkey was gone when he wanted to go to visit a friend.He was very angry and ran around to look for his donkey.
The Mullah ran about looking until he was too tired.He sat down to rest at his gate.A few friends came to join him.
“That no-good lazy donkey!”he said.“If I ever see her again,I’ll sell her for a dollar!”Selling a donkey for a dollar was just a joke.
Just then the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey’s feet.He looked around.There was his donkey.On her back rode a boy.
“Where did you find her ”asked the Mullah.“We couldn’t find her anywhere.”
“I knew where I would go if I were a donkey,”said the boy.“I found her eating grass with the sheep and goats.”
Suddenly,the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of his friends holding up a dollar.On the other side he saw another with a dollar.
“I’ll buy your donkey,”said the two.
“I was joking!”said the Mullah.
“You didn’t sound as if you were joking,”said the two.
The Mullah couldn’t break his word.That would be wrong for an important person in the village.He certainly didn’t want to sell his donkey for a dollar.So he said,“Meet me at the donkey fair on Saturday.I shall sell her at that time.I shall sell my donkey to the one who will treat her most kindly.”
Everybody was kind to animals in the village.
注意:续写词数为150左右。

So the Mullah thought out a plan.

My donkey and my cat are very good friends.

One possible version:
  So the Mullah thought out a plan.On the night before the donkey fair,the Mullah bought a piece of rope.No one had any idea on why the Mullah should want a piece of rope.On Saturday,the men and the boys in the village came to the donkey fair as scheduled.They found a cat tied with a piece of rope to the tail of the
Mullah’s donkey! Beside them stood the Mullah who looked happy.“It is true,
I’ll sell my donkey for a dollar,”said the Mullah.“Just one thing,though.”
My donkey and my cat are very good friends.They must not be parted.The kind man who buys my donkey must also buy my cat.“How much is your cat ”asked many voices.“Oh,my cat is a very important animal,”said the Mullah.“None can equal its agility and smartness.For such a great cat,I want one hundred dollars.”The men burst out laughing and gave up the idea of owning the donkey.
