一、阅读理解(共16小题；每小题3分，满分48分）
A
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo(回响)forever.

Many kids help out around the house with chores (家庭杂务) such as emptying a dishwasher, putting dry clothes away, and taking out trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that they all have responsibilities in the house, and that a family decides together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards encourages kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in (提交) for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help encourage them to do so.”
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@time . Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published.

C
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts (选拔赛) was only the half of it! Luckily, I passed them. When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get confused and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. Thank God, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and encouraging. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the progress—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “hiding” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now, I have more self-confidence in myself. Every time I come across a challenge, my teacher’s “going for it” rings in my ears.
9. What made the author decide to join a basketball team
A. His teacher’s encouragement. B. His determination to change.
C. His desire to show himself off. D. His love for team cooperation.
10. Before attending the practice sessions, players must ______.
A. pass the tryouts B. know what they will do
C. have enough courage D. learn the rules in advance
11. From the last paragraph, what has happened to the boy
A. He has got more praise and become overconfident.
B. He has continued to sit in the back of the classroom.
C. He is willing to answer questions in class now.
D. He focuses more on study rather than basketball
12. What does the author want to tell us in the passage
A. Team spirit can teach us a lot. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Go for it, and we will make it. D. Desire to compete does matter.
【答案】9. A 10. A 11. C 12. C

Every time I come across a challenge, my teacher’s “going for it” rings in my ears.(现在，我对自己更有信心了。每当我遇到挑战时，我的老师就会对我说“去试试”。)”可知，作者想要告诉我们——去试试吧，然后我们会成功的。故选C。

Fiji has become the first country in the Pacific to recognize“waste pickers”,who collect, repurpose and sell rubbish, as environmental champions.
Who are “waste pickers” These workers are usually women, children and migrants(移民)living in bad conditions. The job comes with many health risks, as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous materials,and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks, fires and surface falls.
They remove millions of tons of CO each year from landfills, yet they are often looked down on and treated poorly. Talking to ABC News, Tikitoro from Fiji said that her children are made fun of at school. “The students laugh and point at them” she shared.
How is Fiji responding On July 20, 2022, in Lautoka, Fiji recognized the environmental benefits that these workers are providing. Thirty women who took part in informal waste picking were officially registered, given bank accounts and provided with protective gear to make their jobs safer.
A new name was also created for these workers: Collection Pillars of Recycling, The name came from a workshop organized with International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre and the Pacific Recycling Foundation.
Amitesh Deo, founder of the Pacific Recycling Foundation, told the Fiji. Their workshop was about human rights，education,legal literacy and financial literacy. One of the key findings in that workshop was the stigma(污名)attached to waste picking, and one of the contributors to the stigma was the name ‘‘informal waste pickers’’.
With around 20 million people picking waste for a living around the world, it is important that they are treated with respect and recognized for the highly valuable work that they do.
13. What could be said about the work of picking waste
A. It’s fruitless. B. It’s not deserving.
C. It’s dangerous. D. It’s meaningless.
14. How has Tikitoro’s work affected her
A. She has been looked down on.
B. She has learned new life skills.
C. She has gained a sense of achievement.
D. She has developed a strong personality.
15. What does the underlined word “gear” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Experiment. B. Effect. C. Color. D. Equipment.
16. What may Amitesh Deo say about the name “informal waste pickers”
A. It takes years to form. B. It needs to be forgotten.
C. It is popular nationwide. D. It should be formally named.
【答案】13. C 14. A 15. D 16. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是一直以来位于太平洋地区斐济的拾荒者尽管面临许多风险但却备受歧视和侮辱，幸运地是经过多方努力，斐济终于成为太平洋地区第一个承认“拾荒者”为环保斗士的国家。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The job comes with many health risks, as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous materials，and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks, fires and surface falls.(这份工作伴随着许多健康风险，因为工人们暴露在污染物和有毒材料中，那些在露天垃圾场工作人面临着卡车、火灾和地面坠落造成的风险。)”可知捡垃圾的工作伴随着许多风险，所以是危险的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They remove millions of tons of CO each year from landfills, yet they are often looked down on and treated poorly.Talking to ABC News, Tikitoro from Fiji said that her children are made fun of at school. “The students laugh and point at them” (他们每年从垃圾填埋场清除数百万吨的二氧化碳，但他们经常被轻视和不友好对待。来自斐济的Tikitoro在接受ABC新闻采访时表示，她的孩子在学校被取笑。“学生们笑着指着他们”)”可知，Tikitoro的工作并没有让她得到应有的尊重，相反却一直受到轻视和不友好对待。故选A项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The job comes with many health risks, as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous materials，and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks, fires and surface falls.(这份工作伴随着许多健康风险，因为工人们暴露在污染物和有毒材料中，那些在露天垃圾场工作的人面临着卡车、火灾和地面坠落造成的风险。)”以及第四段“Thirty women who took part in informal waste picking were officially registered, given bank accounts and provided with protective gear to make their jobs safer.(30名参加非正规捡垃圾活动的妇女得到了正式登记，有了银行账户，并配备了保护装备，以确保她们的工作更安全。)”可知，捡垃圾的工作伴随着许多风险，所以政府对于捡拾垃圾的一部分妇女的工作给予了承认，并且为了增加工作的安全性采取了一定的保护措施。所以可以推测此处划线词gear的意思应是一种起到预防垃圾危害的设施或设备，与D项Equipment意思相近。故选D项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“One of the key findings in that workshop was the stigma(污名)attached to waste picking, and one of the contributors to the stigma was the name‘‘informal waste pickers’’.(研讨会的一个关键发现是拾荒带来的耻辱，而造成这种耻辱的原因之一是“非正式拾荒者”这个名字。)”可知Amitesh Deo认为是“非正式拾荒者”这个名字给拾荒者带来了耻辱，所以这个名字应该被忘掉。故选B项。

41. and 42. its
43. to 44. excitement
45. best 46. words
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍足球运动的起源及发展。
【详解】1.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：它的历史可以追溯到两千多年前的中国古代，当时它被称为蹴鞠。
根据前面主语Its history是第三人称单数形式，谓语动词用单数，描述一般事实，用一般现在时。故填goes。
2.考查非限制性定语从句。句意同上。先行词Its history在从句中作主语，指物，引导非限制性定语从句用which。故填which。
3.考查被动语态。句意：现代足球始于英国，在那里新的游戏规则被指定。where引导非限制性定语从句，主语the new game rules与谓语动词make之间是被动关系，与start同时发生在过去且主语rules是服饰。故填were made。
4.考查不定式。句意：足球玩起来很简单，而且非常便宜，这可能是它受欢迎的基础。 此处考查be+adj.+to do结构,形容词后接不定式作状语。故填 to play。
5.考查连词。句意：人们不需要昂贵的设备，足球不需要花费太多的钱。根据句意，两者都是介绍足球这项运动的优点。故为并列关系。故填and。
6.考查代词。句意：它在全球流行背后的另一个因素是该领域的创造力。 根据空后的中心词popularity为名词，前面用形容词性物主代词来修饰后面的名词。故填its。
7.考查介词。句意：它对数百万人具有吸引力。固定搭配be attractive to sb.“对某人有吸引力”。故填to。
8.考查名词。句意：人们即使没有意识到职业玩家的技能，也能感受到游戏的兴奋。the+n.+of是常用搭配，冠词后接名词，excitement是不可数名词。故填excitement。
9.考查形容词最高级。句意：更重要的是，它已经成为人们最好的交流方式之一。one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数，根据句意，用形容词最高级作定语。故填best。
10.考查名词复数。句意：它不需要话语，但每个人都能理解它。word这里泛指“话语”，根据句意，用复数形式。故填words。

One sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people’s lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words, “I missed you so much. It’s so good to see you, son!” The boy smiled and said, “Me too, dad.”
Then the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old). “Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!” and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, “Hi, baby girl” to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, “I’ve saved the best for last.” He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded(使想起) me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇).

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, I heard myself asking, “Wow, how long have you been married ” Curious about the family, I asked directly. Hearing my less impolite question, the man answered kindly, “We have been together for fourteen years, and married twelve years.” “Well then, how long have you been away ” I seemed to feel more curious. He replied with joyous smile on his face, “Two whole days! I feel as if I left for a whole year. I missed them so much.”
I was shocked, as I imagined that he had been gone for several weeks at least. It’s so amazing that the man and his wife have kept the deepest love to each other and passed the love to their children, which is the strongest weapon to any difficulty. The way the man treated his family was very rare around me. I could only say, “I hope that my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years.” The man looked straight into my eyes and told me something that
changed my life, “Don’t hope, my friend, decide!”

一、阅读理解(共16小题；每小题3分，满分48分）
A
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo(回响)forever.

Many kids help out around the house with chores (家庭杂务) such as emptying a dishwasher, putting dry clothes away, and taking out trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that they all have responsibilities in the house, and that a family decides together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards encourages kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in (提交) for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help encourage them to do so.”
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@time . Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

7. How can kids get digital points through the ChoreMonster app

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts (选拔赛) was only the half of it! Luckily, I passed them. When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get confused and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. Thank God, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and encouraging.
Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the progress—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “hiding” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now, I have more self-confidence in myself. Every time I come across a challenge, my teacher’s “going for it” rings in my ears.
9. What made the author decide to join a basketball team
A. His teacher’s encouragement. B. His determination to change.
C. His desire to show himself off. D. His love for team cooperation.
10. Before attending the practice sessions, players must ______.
A. pass the tryouts B. know what they will do
C. have enough courage D. learn the rules in advance
11. From the last paragraph, what has happened to the boy
A. He has got more praise and become overconfident.
B. He has continued to sit in the back of the classroom.
C. He is willing to answer questions in class now.
D. He focuses more on study rather than basketball
12. What does the author want to tell us in the passage
A. Team spirit can teach us a lot. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Go for it, and we will make it. D. Desire to compete does matter.
D
Fiji has become the first country in the Pacific to recognize“waste pickers”,who collect, repurpose and sell rubbish, as environmental champions.
Who are “waste pickers” These workers are usually women, children and migrants(移民)living in bad conditions. The job comes with many health risks, as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous materials,and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks, fires and surface falls.
They remove millions of tons of CO each year from landfills, yet they are often looked down on and treated poorly. Talking to ABC News, Tikitoro from Fiji said that her children are made fun of at school. “The students laugh and point at them” she shared.
How is Fiji responding On July 20, 2022, in Lautoka, Fiji recognized the environmental benefits that these
workers are providing. Thirty women who took part in informal waste picking were officially registered, given bank accounts and provided with protective gear to make their jobs safer.
A new name was also created for these workers: Collection Pillars of Recycling, The name came from a workshop organized with International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre and the Pacific Recycling Foundation.
Amitesh Deo, founder of the Pacific Recycling Foundation, told the Fiji. Their workshop was about human rights，education,legal literacy and financial literacy. One of the key findings in that workshop was the stigma(污名)attached to waste picking, and one of the contributors to the stigma was the name ‘‘informal waste pickers’’.
With around 20 million people picking waste for a living around the world, it is important that they are treated with respect and recognized for the highly valuable work that they do.
13. What could be said about the work of picking waste
A. It’s fruitless. B. It’s not deserving.
C. It’s dangerous. D. It’s meaningless.
14. How has Tikitoro’s work affected her
A. She has been looked down on.
B. She has learned new life skills.
C. She has gained a sense of achievement.
D. She has developed a strong personality.
15. What does the underlined word “gear” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Experiment. B. Effect. C. Color. D. Equipment.
16. What may Amitesh Deo say about the name “informal waste pickers”
A. It takes years to form. B. It needs to be forgotten.
C. It is popular nationwide. D. It should be formally named.

48. 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 sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people’s lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words, “I missed you so much. It’s so good to see you, son!” The boy smiled and said, “Me too, dad.”
Then the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old). “Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!” and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, “Hi, baby girl” to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, “I’ve saved the best for last.” He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded(使想起) me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇).
