三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
1. We can know Michael Riera in the passage is ________.
A. An author.
B. A mother.
C. A father.
D. A teenager.
2."The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_______.
A. is always busy with his studies
B. doesn't want to be disturbed
C. keeps himself away from his parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
3.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.
A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly
C. they don't know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
4. Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
5. What can be learned from the passage
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
B
Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: How to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward.
Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29,the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高秆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30.
While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant-it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds.
Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seeds, thanks to microgravity (微重力) , lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线) . The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth.
For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares (公顷) .
According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center (海南航天工程育种研发中心), 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle (生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months.
1.How high did the tall shoot rice variety grow for the first month
A. 5cm. B. 25cm. C. 30cm. D. 35cm.
2.What does “this one” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The dwarf rice variety.
B. The tall shoot rice variety.
C. The last rice experiment in space.
D. The rice experiment on Shenzhou XIV.
3.How does the current rice experiment differ from other experiments
A. Its seedlings have successfully come up.
B. It uses completely new rice varieties.
C. Its seedlings are growing very well.
D. It goes through a complete life cycle.
4.Why do we grow food in space
a. To feed astronauts.
b. To study microgravity.
c. To increase yields on Earth.
d. To research on cosmic rays.
A. ab B. be C. ac D. bd
5.What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Space planting is benefiting(有益于) us.
B. People are afraid of food bred in space.
C. People will never run out of food.
D. Space planting has disadvantages.

8.答案：C
解析：句意:我哥哥主动提出开车送我去商场,但我更想走路去。Offer to do sth.“主动提出做某事”。根据句意可知答案为C。
9.答案：A
解析：本题用词义辨析法解答。the number of表示“……的数量”,后接复数名词,谓语动词只能用单数;a number of表示“许多;大量”,后接复数名词,作主语时谓语动词用复数,故选A。

答案：1-5CBDCB 6-10CBAAD
解析：1.本文通过越来越多的年轻人购买日本漫画书,观看韩国电视剧,庆祝西方节日等现象,指出中国文化和西方文化一样好,并且是不可或缺,也是不可替代的。句意:那是一句古老的英语谚语。a是不定冠词,修饰单数名词表泛指,用于以辅音音素开头的单词前面;/表零冠词;an是不定冠词,修饰单数名词表泛指,用于以元音音素开头的单词前面;the是定冠词,表示特指。由“old saying”可知那是谚语,saying为可数名词,表示泛指,且old是以元音音素开头,因此使用不定冠词an修饰,故选C。
2.句意:它的意思是其他地方通常看起来比你住的地方更好,更有趣。interesting有趣的;more interesting更有趣的;most interesting最有趣的,最高级需用定冠词the修饰;the most interesting最有趣的。than“比”,是比较级句子的标志,可知空处需用形容词的比较级形式,故选B。
3.句意:如今,大多数人担心中国年轻人开始有这种感觉。is beginning是现在进行时态,主语是单数;began是动词过去式;begins是第三人称单数形式;are beginning是现在进行时态,主语是复数/第二人称单数。由时间状语“These days”可知表示动作发生在近阶段,使用现在进行时be doing的形式;主语“young Chinese”为复数人称,因此用are beginning,故选D。
4.句意:越来越多的中国年轻人对中国文化不感兴趣。to到;for为了;in在……里面;of……的。根据题干“become less interested…Chinese culture”,可知是说年轻人对中国文化没那么感兴趣,需用动词短语become interested in表示“对……感兴趣”,故选C。
5.句意:相反,他们购买日本漫画书,观看韩国肥皂剧,庆祝西方节日。soap opera肥皂剧,单数形式;soap operas肥皂剧,复数形式;soaps opera形式表达错误;soaps operas形式表达错误。根据上文“they are buying Japanese cartoon books”,可知是说看韩国的肥皂剧,这里soap opera“肥皂剧”表泛指,用其复数形式soap operas,故选B。
6.句意:外国图书和肥皂剧都不错,但中国作家和演员也一样好。well好;better更好;good好的;best最好的。as good表示“像……一样好”,根据上文“Foreign books and soap operas are good”,可知是说中国作家和演员同样好。故选C。
7.句意:圣诞节是美好的,但它对中国不可能有特殊意义。although尽管;but但是;so因此;because因为。分析句子结构,本句是并列复合句;根据题干“Christmas is nice…it can’t have the special meaning for Chinese”,可知前后句之间表达的是一种转折关系,需用but连接,故选B。
8.句意:让我们不要忘记我最喜欢中国文化的那一部分:它的友好。forget忘记,动词原形;to forget动词不定式;forgetting是动名词或现在分词;forgot是过去式。let’s (not) do sth.表示“让我们(不要)做某事”,是固定搭配,可知用动词原形forget,故选A。
9.句意:并不是所有国家都像中国那样温暖。warm暖和的;warmer更暖的;cold寒冷的;colder更冷的。根据题干“Not all countries are as…as China”,结合上文 “its friendliness”,可知是说不是所有国家都像中国那样温暖;“as +形容词原级+ as”表示“像……一样……”,是固定结构,故选A。
10.句意:欣赏其他文化并向它们学习很好,但它们不能取代我们自己的文化。enjoys喜欢/享受,第三人称单数形式;enjoy喜欢/享受;enjoying是动名词或现在分词;to enjoy动词不定式。and连接两个并列的成分,由下文的“to learn from them”可知此处使用动词不定式to enjoy,故选D。

2.细节理解题。问题:“他的房间门一直关着。”说明他的儿子为什么这么做 分析原文:suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. 句意:他与朋友的交流要比父母的交流多了许多。体现一点他想远离他的父母。故选 C。

4.细节理解题。问题:在最后一段中的引号中短语意思的最佳解释是哪一项 分析原文:To break down the wall of silence. 句意:目的打破沉默之墙。从另一个角度来描述了孩子与家长之间的代沟中,主要原因是年青人不想与父母多交流。故选C。

B
1.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据“Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety（高秆水稻品种）have reached a height of 30 centimeters.”可知，高秆水稻品种的秧苗长到了30公分高。故选C。
2.答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据“Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings（幼苗）during the Shenzhou XIV mission.”可知，文章讲述的是中国宇航员在神州十四号任务期间成功培育了水稻幼苗的事件，又根据“While there have been other rice experiments in space”可知，在太空中还有其它的水稻实验，因此“this one”指的是在神州十四号上进行的水稻实验。故选D。
3.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据“While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature（成熟的）plant producing new seeds.”可知，虽然在太空中也有其他水稻实验，但这是第一次产生植物的完整生命周期——从种子开始，以长成一株能产生新种子的植物作为结束。故选D。
4.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据“Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth.”可知，这样的食物种植实验不仅仅是为了宇航员。它们还可以解决地球上的粮食问题。再根据“The seeds can then produce higher yields（产量）on Earth.”可知，这些种子可以生产比在地球上更高的产量。因此可知，在太空种植粮食作物，一可以喂养宇航员，二可以提高其在地球上的产量。故选C。
5.答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。文章最后一段举例说明了现在，在北京销售的草莓中，有30%是“太空草莓”，大小和鸡蛋一样大。该中心还生产了产量增加30%的“太空番茄”和具有生长周期的“太空香蕉”，其生长周期从13个月缩短到9个月。这些都在告诉我们，太空种植有益于我们。故选A。

②根据问句Is your life different from the past after the Double Reduction Policy（双减政策）？（在"双减政策"后你的生活是否和以前不同？）和上句Yeah!Great changes have taken place in my life.（是的！我的生活发生了很大的变化。）可知，此处应该描述的是发生了什么样的变化。故填I have more free time than before。

答案：
Dear John,
How is everything going I'm writing to share with you an activity called Opera Entering Campus in our school.
The activity was held at 2:30 pm on May 16 on the playground. In the beginning, the headmaster made a speech at the opening ceremony, inspiring us students to learn more about Chinese culture. After that, there was an exciting competition about opera knowledge. In the end, we enjoyed wonderful opera performance put on by some teachers and students who are talented in opera.
Through this activity, we had a better understanding of opera and get closer to Chinese traditional culture. I hope you can have a chance to China and experience Chinese culture on your own.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
