【答案】B
【解析】句意：——格林医生是一名奥比斯的医生吗？——不，他是一名联合国儿童基金会的志愿者。但有时和奥比斯医生一起工作。

A. across B. through C. past D. against
【答案】D
【解析】句意：——昨晚的阵雨太可怕了！——我正在看电视，突然雨开始猛烈地打在关着的窗户上。
考查介词辨析。across穿过（从物体表面）；through穿过（从物体内部）；past经过；against碰，撞。根据“the rain began to beat heavily ... the closed window.”可知，雨水敲打在窗户上，应用介词against。故选D。

考查动词短语。has been in待在某地；has been to去过某地；has gone to去了某地；has come to来到某地。根据“No, it can’t be him.”可知，此刻李先生不在这里，是去了上海，故选C。

A. to talk B. to talk to C. will talk to D. will talk about
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——那个时候Mary不知道可以和谁聊她遇到的那个问题。——让我们帮帮她。
考查动词不定式。talk to sb.表示“和某人说话”，动词know可以接“疑问词+动词不定式”作宾语，因此疑问词who后接不定式to talk to，表示“和谁说”。故选B。
14. — How can I get a present in the game show
—You ________ one if you answer all the questions correctly.
A. are given B. have given C. will be given D. have been given
【答案】C
【解析】句意：——我怎样才能在游戏节目中得到礼物呢 ——如果你正确回答所有的问题，你将得到一个。
考查一般将来时的被动语态。根据题干可知，本句是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”的原则，因此这里的时态应用一般将来时；而且主语you和谓语动词give之间存在被动关系，因此应用被动语态；一般将来时的被动语态结构为：will+be+动词的过去分词；故选C。
15. — You looked worried. _________
— I can’t find my schoolbag. It has all my books in it!
A. Good luck. B. Nice to meet you.
C. Are you serious D. What’s the matter

Hiking(徒步)can be a great way to relax, get away and enjoy the natural beauty around us. Going on a hike sounds like a walk in the park, but there are some risks when you head out into the wildness. We spoke with Sgt. John Adams from the Search and Rescue unit(搜救部)to learn what you can do to keep safe.
Tell someone where you’re going
Especially if you’re hiking alone, it is important to make sure someone knows exactly where you’re going and when you expect to be back. And the information you left with a friend or family member will make it easier for Search and Rescue to find you.
Do some research and check conditions before you go
The weather can be very different even an hour from where you live,and trail(路径)conditions can change daily.
▲
Adams suggests you should think about bringing along a personal locator beacon(定位信标)and a whistle(哨). He said there are several successful Search and Rescue cases in which hikers were found alive and rescued when using locators.
Don’t be afraid to turn back
If you are uncomfortable, uncertain or worried about your safety at any time, be honest with yourself. Don’t be afraid to call it a day and turn back.
If worse comes to worst
Stay calm(冷静), get to a safe place and stay there. If you’re lost, walking around is likely to take farther away from the known trail and make you harder to find. If you’re injured, trying to move around may lead to a worse situation. If you brought a whistle, use it to let Search and Rescue hear you.
38. Why is it better for the hiker to tell someone where he’s going
A. To let friends go along with you. B. To make sure he can go back on time.
C. To make it easier to be found. D. To enjoy hiking more along the way.
39. Which of the following can be put in the ▲
A. Bring some safety equipment B. Call for some help if necessary
C. Take care of yourself all the time D. Do something relaxing to feel better
40. What should you do if you get lost
A. Enjoy the natural beauty around. B. Stay somewhere safe and keep calm.
C. Move around to find the way out. D. Leave a message for your friend.
41. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To call on more people to take part in hiking. B. To explain how dangerous hiking alone is.
C. To give some advice on hiking in the wildness. D. To show what usually happens while hiking.
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. B 41. C
【解析】本文主要是向野外徒步旅行者提出一些安全建议。
38.细节理解题。根据“And the information you left with a friend or family member will make it easier for Search and Rescue to find you.”可知，徒步旅行者最好告诉别人他要去哪里以便更容易地被搜救人员找到。故选C。
39.主旨大意题。根据“Adams suggests you should think about bringing along a personal locator beacon(定位信标)and a whistle(哨).”可知，本段主要建议徒步旅行者携带个人定位信标和口哨等安全设备。故选A。
40.推理判断题。根据“Stay calm(冷静), get to a safe place and stay there.”可知，当人们迷路时，应该保持冷静，去一个安全的地方并待在那里（等待救援）。故选B。
41.主旨大意题。根据“We spoke with Sgt. John Adams from the Search and Rescue unit(搜救部)to learn what you can do to keep safe.”及文章结构可知，作者的写作目的是向野外徒步旅行者提出一些安全建议。故选C。

Going to an art museum can be a fun activity. However, if you’re not sure what the art is about, it may seem boring. Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art.
You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you’re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit.
If a piece of art (艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before.
If you want to find out more details of the artwork a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures (手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that’s special to you or the emotions you’ve been feeling.
After you leave the museum, consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really.
42. What’s the writer’s advice when choosing a museum
A. Ask your parents to help you decide. B. Visit the most famous museum nearby.
C. Choose an exhibit that interests you. D. Go to see a photography exhibit first.
43. Why do you need a notebook and pencil according to paragraph 3
A. To draw a similar picture by yourself. B. To draw a picture of yourself quickly.
C. To write down the story of the artwork. D. To copy things from the free brochures.
44. What may be the magic of art really according to the last paragraph
A. The art pieces that stay in your mind for a long time.
B. The way you understand an artist through their work.
C. The time you spend talking with your friend or adult.
D. The story your favorite piece of art is trying to tell.

stomach south pleased ugly care

52. The boy _______ put the cup on the bench and it fell off.
53. His hometown lies in the _______ part of Taihang Mountains.
54. According to the UFA（联合国粮农组织）, around the world, some 800 million people can’t fill their _______.
55. Take action right away, or things might get even _______.
【答案】51. pleasure 52. carelessly 53. southern 54. stomachs 55. uglier
【解析】51.句意：他美丽的艺术作品给世界各地的人们带来了乐趣。bring...to sb.“给某人带来……”，此处缺宾语，需填名词；此处指“带来乐趣”，因此填pleased的名词形式pleasure。故填pleasure。
52.句意：男孩不小心把杯子放在长凳上，杯子掉了下来。空处位于主谓之间，因此需填副词作状语修饰动词；根据“it fell off”可知杯子掉下来了，因此是“粗心地”。故填carelessly。
53.句意：他的家乡位于太行山的南部。根据lie in可知指地点/方位，又因为修饰part，需要用到形容词，即“南方的”，故填southern。
54.句意：根据联合国粮农组织的数据，全世界约有8亿人无法填饱肚子。their是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词复数形式，即“无法填饱肚子”，故填stomachs。
55.句意：立即采取行动，否则事情可能会变得更糟。此处修饰thing需要形容词；even修饰形容词的比较级，即“更糟”，故填uglier。
C.请根据句意从方框中选择合适的动词，并用其适当时态填空，使句子通顺。

【答案】56. have realized 57. discovered 58. drops 59. was waiting 60. will improve
【解析】56.句意：我们已经意识到低碳生活的重要性，并将立即采取行动。根据“will take action right now.”可知，立即采取行动是因为意识到了低碳生活的重要性，过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响应用现在完成时“have/has done”，主语为复数we，助动词用have，realize“意识到”，过去分词为realized。故填have realized。
57.句意：他们在环岛航行时发现了这个海滩。根据“while they were sailing around the island.”可知，此处指发现了海滩，discover“发现”，是短暂性动词，while引导的时间状语从句，从句用过去进行时，主语的短暂性动词应用一般过去时，谓语动词为过去式。故填discovered。
58.句意：在秋天，白天通常变短，气温缓慢下降。根据“autumn”和常识，可知此处指温度缓慢下降，drop“下降”，叙述自然真理用一般现在时，主语为第三人称单数 temperature，谓语用三单drops。故填drops。
59.句意：——今天早上你在大厅里见到校长了吗？——是的。当时，他和一些老师在等交换生。根据“for the exchange students then”可知，此处指等待交换生，wait for sb“等待某人”，then“那时”作时间状语，应用过去进行时“was/were doing”，主语为第三人称单数he，助动词用was。故填was waiting。
60.句意：男孩女孩们，加入夏令营，你们将改善一些基本的生活技能。根据“Boys and girls, join in the summer camp, and you … some basic life skills.”可知，此处指改善生活技能，improve“改善”，句型为“祈使句+and/or+陈述句”，陈述句为祈使句的结果，应用一般将来时“will do”，为故填will improve。

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Have you heard of the saying “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” It means that starting a good life is the result of the beginning.
Last summer holiday, I wanted to learn how to swim. I asked my father to teach me. I went to the swimming pool with my father. He taught me how to swim. At first, I was afraid of diving in the water. And I felt uncomfortable in the water. But my father always encouraged me. He said he would protect me. Then I began to swim, but I couldn’t swim forward at all. It made me upset. Then my father told me how to move, how to stretch out my hands and legs. Slowly I could move a little. It took me about four hours to learn to swim. I felt quite happy.
From this experience, I have learned a lot. The first step is always the hardest. But if you do it in a proper way and never give up, you will make it.

Hiking(徒步)can be a great way to relax, get away and enjoy the natural beauty around us. Going on a hike sounds like a walk in the park, but there are some risks when you head out into the wildness. We spoke with Sgt. John Adams from the Search and Rescue unit(搜救部)to learn what you can do to keep safe.
Tell someone where you’re going
Especially if you’re hiking alone, it is important to make sure someone knows exactly where you’re going and when you expect to be back. And the information you left with a friend or family member will make it easier for Search and Rescue to find you.
Do some research and check conditions before you go
The weather can be very different even an hour from where you live,and trail(路径)conditions can change daily.
▲
Adams suggests you should think about bringing along a personal locator beacon(定位信标)and a whistle(哨). He said there are several successful Search and Rescue cases in which hikers were found alive and rescued when using locators.
Don’t be afraid to turn back
If you are uncomfortable, uncertain or worried about your safety at any time, be honest with yourself. Don’t be afraid to call it a day and turn back.
If worse comes to worst
Stay calm(冷静), get to a safe place and stay there. If you’re lost, walking around is likely to take farther away from the known trail and make you harder to find. If you’re injured, trying to move around may lead to a worse situation. If you brought a whistle, use it to let Search and Rescue hear you.
38. Why is it better for the hiker to tell someone where he’s going
A. To let friends go along with you. B. To make sure he can go back on time.
C. To make it easier to be found. D. To enjoy hiking more along the way.
39. Which of the following can be put in the ▲
A. Bring some safety equipment B. Call for some help if necessary
C. Take care of yourself all the time D. Do something relaxing to feel better
40. What should you do if you get lost
A. Enjoy the natural beauty around. B. Stay somewhere safe and keep calm.
C. Move around to find the way out. D. Leave a message for your friend.
41. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To call on more people to take part in hiking. B. To explain how dangerous hiking alone is.
C. To give some advice on hiking in the wildness. D. To show what usually happens while hiking.
D
Going to an art museum can be a fun activity. However, if you’re not sure what the art is about, it may seem boring. Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art.
You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you’re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit.
If a piece of art (艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before.
If you want to find out more details of the artwork a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures (手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that’s special to you or the emotions you’ve been feeling.
After you leave the museum, consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really.
42. What’s the writer’s advice when choosing a museum
A. Ask your parents to help you decide. B. Visit the most famous museum nearby.
C. Choose an exhibit that interests you. D. Go to see a photography exhibit first.
43. Why do you need a notebook and pencil according to paragraph 3
A. To draw a similar picture by yourself. B. To draw a picture of yourself quickly.
C. To write down the story of the artwork. D. To copy things from the free brochures.
44. What may be the magic of art really according to the last paragraph
A. The art pieces that stay in your mind for a long time.
B. The way you understand an artist through their work.
C. The time you spend talking with your friend or adult.
D. The story your favorite piece of art is trying to tell.
45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
