Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
1. What is a feature of Arabic
A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
2. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.
3. What’s the number of people who speak Italian
A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.

【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Italian 中“Nearly 68 million people speak Italian.(将近6800万人说意大利语。)”可知，近6800万人说意大利语。

“I read a lot, and love the pleasure of reading something that I want,” she said. But when she reached into her pocket, she realized that her wallet was gone. She looked around and started to retrace (折回) her steps.
“I’m down on my hands and knees, looking in the gutters (排水沟) around the streets. I go back and forth. My wallet is nowhere,” she said.
She went back to the bookstore, but nobody had turned it in. Kelly walked home hopelessly and was about to cancel her credit cards when an email appeared. It was from a man named Adam, who said he had found her wallet.
Through a name card, Adam found a way to contact Kelly and gave her his phone number and home address. Kelly had a taxi sent to Adam’s house and 20 minutes later, a small brown paper bag arrived on her front steps.
“The loveliest detail is that when I’m digging the wallet out of the bag, I suddenly find Adam has dropped a bar of chocolate at the bottom, which he can not have possibly known is my favorite,” Kelly said.

A Love of Gardening
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from the author of the book The Secret Garden, first published in 1911. At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be built. This is what started the British love of gardening! Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers”, with around half the population spending their free time gardening.
For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest. Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty of the world around them.
But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4,000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality.
As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: “Where you tend a rose… A thistle cannot grow.”
8. What inspired the British to create their own private gardens
A. A rise in earnings. B. The call of the government.
C. The publication of The Secret Garden. D. The competition among neighbors.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How to build a garden well. B. Where is suitable for building gardens.
C. When is the right time to do gardening. D. How the private garden is enjoyed by the British.
10. Why is it difficult for the British living in cities to build private gardens
A. They don’t have free time. B. They don’t have enough space.
C. They lack gardening knowledge. D. They are not allowed to do so by law.
11. What can we know about gardening according to the text
A. It wastes money. B. It takes up too much land.
C. It worsens air quality. D. It benefits the environment and people’s soul.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国人喜爱园艺的原因以及是如何培养私人花园的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be built. This is what started the British love of gardening!(当时，英国只有非常富有的人才有花园。此后不久，带花园的房屋开始建造。这就是英国人开始热爱园艺的原因！)”可知，收入的增加激发了英国人创造自己的私人花园。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest. Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty of the world around them.(对许多英国人来说，他们的花园是他们自己的私人世界。每年春天，孩子们都会种上向日葵，等着看哪一株最高。专业的园丁知道种植玫瑰的最佳位置，而其他人则花费数小时尝试种植完美的蔬菜以参加比赛。虽然许多英国人最喜欢在周日修剪草坪，但也有一些人很乐意坐在树枝下，欣赏周围世界的美景)”可知，第二段的主要内容是英国人是如何享受私人花园的。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things.(但在城市里，有限空间促使人们寻找新的解决方案。那些没有外部空间的人可以租一小块地来种东西)”可知，生活在城市里的英国人很难建造私人花园是因为他们没有足够的空间。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: “Where you tend a rose… A thistle cannot grow.”(园艺不仅对环境有益，对心灵也有好处。还有什么业余活动能让你与自然融为一体，创造更美丽的生物？如果你对此有任何疑问，花点时间思考一下《秘密花园》中的这句话：“在你照料玫瑰的地方，长不出蓟。”)”可知，园艺有益于环境和人的灵魂。故选D。

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
12. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
13. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
14. How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C. They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B. Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“He discovered a way to connect...(他发现了一种关联和……这些学生)”可知，Ritz发现了一种方法可以把这些学生关联起来，结合画线词后的 “...especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.(……尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，他找到的方法应该是可以把这些学生关联起来，尤其是那些不易接触的学生，分析句子结构可知，划线单词与“关联”为并列关系，结合尾段中的“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可推断，Ritz应该是找到了方法能够让学生喜欢上了学习，所以画线单词与“interest(使感兴趣)”的意思最为接近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back. (令他惊讶的是，男孩突然抽出一束黄色的花，送给女孩作为和平的礼物。女孩决定把花带回家给妈妈，平静又回来了。)”可知，男孩抽出一束花送给女孩作为和平的礼物，战争结束，由此可知，男孩和女孩之间的打闹是被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。他的努力使他成为一名伟大的老师，他利用植物的力量为孩子们发声。)”可知，Ritz开设的绿色种植课程使得他的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可知，他的绿色种植课程提高了学生的学习兴趣。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach. (他发现了一种关联和吸引这些学生的方法，尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，Ritz找到了一种可以关联和吸引学生的方法，结合下文中介绍的Ritz是如何发现的这种方法以及这种方法是什么，以及尾段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz所发现的方法改变了学生，综合以上信息，本文主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率，所以题目“老师如何改变他的学生”与本文的内容一致，且可以概括全文的主题，可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

38. photos 39. probably
40. weight 41. that## which
42. was concentrating
43. its 44. at
45. to see
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述的是作者去年春天在黄石公园拍照遇到熊的事情。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名自然摄影师，我喜欢在野外工作。此处为短语enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填working。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这份工作最棒的一点就是你可以看到动物在自然环境中的生活。修饰名词environments应用形容词natural，作定语。故填natural。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：我最喜欢拍照的地方是黄石国家公园。分析句子结构可知，空前是动词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，photo意为“照片”，为可数名词，不止一张照片，此处应用复数形式。故填photos。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：作为世界上第一个国家公园，它可能最以熊而闻名。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的形容词短语best known for，应该用副词probably作状语。故填probably。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：当我集中精力拍摄这个场景时，我突然有一种被监视的感觉。分析句子结构可知，此处是while引导的时间状语从句，从句谓语动词必须用延续性动词，且常与进行时搭配，concentrate作从句谓语，事情已发生，while引导的从句中应该用过去进行时。故填was concentrating。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：水从它浓密棕色毛发上滴落下来，熊盯着我。修饰名词hair，应用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
【44题详解】

47. 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。
It was a beautiful day for sightseeing. We were a group of students just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park. Since we all had different things to buy, we decided to get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Joy headed for a hot dog shop, I decided to go with her. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog, just the way we wanted it. But when we took out our money to pay the bill, the seller surprised us.
“You are the first customers to visit, and the first order is given to you for free,” he said.
After we thanked him, we joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted (分心) by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
After we finished eating, we packed our lunch bags and prepared to throw them away.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a strong voice came from that homeless person.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Joy asked me to wait for her for a minute and ran to the hot dog shop.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, a strong voice came from that homeless person. He said, “Excuse me, would you mind sparing a meal for a hungry soul ” His words struck a chord in my heart, reminding me of the privilege and abundance that I often take for granted. Feeling a mix of guilt and compassion, I turned to face him. As we talked, I discovered that he was once an accomplished musician, full of dreams and aspirations. It was disheartening to hear how circumstances had pushed him to this point of desperation.
Joy asked me to wait for her for a minute and ran to the hot dog shop. She returned with an extra hot dog and a bottle of water in her hands. She handed them to the homeless man with a warm smile. His eyes sparkled with appreciation as he accepted the food. As I watched the exchange, a wave of realization washed over me. This encounter was more than just a random act of kindness; it was a reminder of the power we hold to make a difference in someone's life. I felt a renewed sense of empathy and the urge to do more.

Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
1. What is a feature of Arabic
A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
2 Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.
3. What’s the number of people who speak Italian
A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.

One winter evening, Kelly was walking home from her favorite bookstore. She had bought two cookery books and three art books, and couldn’t wait to get home to read them in front of a warm fire.
“I read a lot, and love the pleasure of reading something that I want,” she said. But when she reached into her pocket, she realized that her wallet was gone. She looked around and started to retrace (折回) her steps.
“I’m down on my hands and knees, looking in the gutters (排水沟) around the streets. I go back and forth. My wallet is nowhere,” she said.
She went back to the bookstore, but nobody had turned it in. Kelly walked home hopelessly and was about to cancel her credit cards when an email appeared. It was from a man named Adam, who said he had found her wallet.
Through a name card, Adam found a way to contact Kelly and gave her his phone number and home address. Kelly had a taxi sent to Adam’s house and 20 minutes later, a small brown paper bag arrived on her front steps.
“The loveliest detail is that when I’m digging the wallet out of the bag, I suddenly find Adam has dropped a bar of chocolate at the bottom, which he can not have possibly known is my favorite,” Kelly said.
The kindness of Adam’s gesture has stayed with Kelly. She decides to look for chances to pass it on.
4. How many art books did Kelly buy
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
5. Why did Kelly go back to the bookstore

A Love of Gardening
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from the author of the book The Secret Garden, first published in 1911. At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be built. This is what started the British love of gardening! Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers”, with around half the population spending their free time gardening.
For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest. Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty of the world around them.
But in cities limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4,000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality.
As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: “Where you tend a rose… A thistle cannot grow.”
8. What inspired the British to create their own private gardens
A. A rise in earnings. B. The call of the government.
C. The publication of The Secret Garden. D. The competition among neighbors.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How to build a garden well. B. Where is suitable for building gardens.
C. When is the right time to do gardening. D. How the private garden is enjoyed by the British.
10. Why is it difficult for the British living in cities to build private gardens
A. They don’t have free time. B. They don’t have enough space.
C. They lack gardening knowledge. D. They are not allowed to do so by law.
11. What can we know about gardening according to the text
A. It wastes money. B. It takes up too much land.
C. It worsens air quality. D. It benefits the environment and people’s soul.

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
12. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
13. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
14. How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C. They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B. Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C. How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing. We were a group of students just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park. Since we all had different things to buy, we decided to get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Joy headed for a hot dog shop, I decided to go with her. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog, just the way we wanted it. But when we took out our money to pay the bill, the seller surprised us.
“You are the first customers to visit, and the first order is given to you for free,” he said.
After we thanked him, we joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted (分心) by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
After we finished eating, we packed our lunch bags and prepared to throw them away.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
