Tebelis couldn’t eat that night. As he fell asleep, he thought of the impossible task before him.
That night, Tebelis had some strange dreams. Suddenly, Tebelis opened his eyes. This was it, the answer to his impossible task!
“I can use water to mill the grain (磨谷物),” he said to himself. “I can make a...a watermill!”
The laziest boy in Greece worked through the night for his plan.
The next morning, Tebelis described his idea in detail to his father. At first, Agathon didn’t believe that water could turn a heavy wheel.
“Our cow is old and sick. We could never finishing milling all that grain in a week by ourselves,” Tebelis said. “I’m sure my idea will work. The stream behind our house is the perfect place to build my watermill.”
Agathon felt that the boy wouldn’t give up easily this time and agreed.
Later that morning, Tebelis cut down a small tree and cut the wood into boards of different sizes. He worked day and night. A few days later, the work was finally done. They watched and waited...
Then slowly, ever so slowly, the millstone began to turn. It turned faster, faster, faster. It was working!
In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain. It was the time that Alexander’s soldiers returned to collect their flour (面粉). The lead soldier studied the machine for a long time. Then they collected their baskets and went away.
The next day, Tebelis heard voices, and, looking up, he found himself face to face with King Alexander once more.
“I have heard of this ‘watermill’ that you have built,” Alexander said. “Show me.”
The king examined the machine and then said, “They call you Tebelis, but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor, ‘the wise one.’”
He liked his new name, and he liked his new life.
Months passed. “I have an idea for another machine,” he told his father one sunny afternoon.
“Tell me about it,” Agathon said.
“Well,” said Nestor, “it’s something special. I call it a…”
24．What is the impossible task

C．To send flour to soldiers far away. D．To become a hard-working boy.

A．Tebelis. B．Water. C．Another cow. D．Agathon.
26．Which of the following words can best describe Tebelis according to the passage

Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes-a famous detective Here is one of his cases.
Stapleton, Charles’s younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew (侄子)—Henry both died.
Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound (猎犬), and of using the phosphorus (磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story.
Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles’s fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder (谋杀). It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.
Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. He needed something to give the hound Henry’s smell, so he paid a woman at Henry’s hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasn’t sure if his wife would keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel. She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.
After receiving the letter, Henry knew he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles’s death. So he asked Holmes for help.

In our life, friends can change. No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life.
I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they necessarily change.
There are some common reasons why some friendships end. Friends lose contact (联系) sometimes simply because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles changes, friends often change with these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moved far away. When living or working places change, friendships change as well. It’s just a part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet many new people and become friends with them. You will also lose contact with junior high school friends, at least some of them.
There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. However, you can keep some friendships by simply making an effort to stay in touch. This works well when you change your location (地点). When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember that these changes shouldn’t matter if the friendship is strong. Changing friendship doesn’t mean ending friendships.
If the friendship has to end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, another will take his or her place, maybe bring new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time.
31．What does the underlined word “fade” in Para.1 mean
A．Continue. B．Disappear. C．Return. D．Improve.

A．The writer never sees them.
B．The writer always thinks about them.
C．The writer misses them from time to time.
D．The writer communicates with them by email.
33．According to the passage, what may happen when you finish your junior high school
A．Move far away from junior high school.
B．Find a part-time job in a local company.
C．Meet new people and become friends with them.
D．Lose contact with all junior high school friends.
34．Which of the following can help keep friendships
A．Working with friends. B．Living close to friends.
C．Playing games with friends. D．Keeping in touch with friends.

26．推理判断题。根据“Months passed. ‘I have an idea for another machine,’ he told his father one sunny afternoon.”可以推断，Tebelis工作非常努力而且非常有创造力。故选D。
27．C 28．A 29．B 30．C
【导语】本文主要介绍了著名侦探福尔摩斯的一个案例故事。
27．段落大意题。根据“He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. ”以及本段内容可知，第四段讲述了斯台普顿如何利用猎犬杀死查尔斯的。故选C。
28．细节理解题。根据“The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back.”可知，第一只新鞋对猎犬来说没有用，因为它没有亨利的气味。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据“After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound (猎犬), and of using the phosphorus (磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story.”可知，斯台普顿使那只猎犬像故事里的人物一样闪闪发光。根据“Charles’s fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body.”可知，查尔斯虚弱的心脏停止了跳动。根据“He needed something to give the hound Henry’s smell, so he paid a woman at Henry’s hotel to steal one of his shoes”可知，斯台普顿偷了亨利的鞋子。根据“She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.”可知，斯台普顿的妻子给亨利写了一封信。根据“After receiving the letter, Henry knew he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles’s death. So he asked Holmes for help.”可知，最后亨利向福尔摩斯求助。所以正确的故事发生顺序为d-c-a-e-b。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据“Charles’s fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder (谋杀). It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.”可知，查尔斯的死亡没有谋杀的迹象。结合“After receiving the letter, Henry knew he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles’s death. So he asked Holmes for help.”可知，如果斯台普顿的妻子没有把信寄给亨利，最后亨利也会很可能会以同样的方式被谋杀，故选C。
31．B 32．A 33．C 34．D 35．B
【导语】本文主要介绍了人与人之间的友谊会因为某些原因而发生改变，这是很常见的。我们需要记住，改变友谊并不意味着结束友谊。
31．词句猜测题。根据“In our life, friends can change. No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life.”可知，在我们的生活中，朋友可以改变。无论你多么爱你的朋友，多么钦佩你的朋友，你们之间的友谊仍然会从你的生活中消失。因此推知“fade”为“消失”之意，与”disappear“同义。故选B。
32．细节理解题。根据“I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore.”可知，作者基本上没有见过自己的小学朋友了。故选A。

35．观点态度题。根据“When living or working places change, friendships change as well. It’s just a part of life.”和”If the friendship has to end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good.“可知，友谊会改变只是生活的一部分，它结束了，我们是无法选择的，记住改变是好的就行。因此推知作者认为友谊变化是常见的。故选B。
36．C 37．E 38．A 39．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过对相同的人在不同的年龄段进行的两次测验表明，即使同一个人，不同的时期、不同的年龄段，性格都会有很大的变化。
36．根据“You could be a completely different person when you get old.”可知，当你变老了，你可能完全不同了，因此表示你发生了变化。C项“但是根据一项新的研究，你的性格会有很大的改变。”与之相符，故选C。
37．根据“Psychologists (心理学家) at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did the research on a group of Scottish people.”可知，此处是英国心理学家做了一项研究，故此处介绍研究发现的内容，E项“研究发现，几乎每个人的性格都会随着年龄的增长而改变。”与之相符，故选E。
38．根据“In 1970, a group of teachers gave over 1,200 14-year-old students personality tests.”可知，此处介绍老师对学生的性格测试，故此处会介绍测试的内容，A项“他们测试了六种基本的人格特征。”与之相符，故选A。
39．根据“It was ‘as if the second test had been given to different people.’”可知，第二次测试仿佛是给不同的人进行的，因此每一个人年轻时的自己和年老时的自己是不同的。D项“对每个人来说，年轻的自己和年老的自己似乎都是完全不同的。”与之相符，故选D。

【导语】本文介绍了中国文化在世界上越来越流行。位于惠灵顿的中国文化中心加入了新西兰最大的户外节日之一——CubaDupa艺术节，通过这个节日进一步推动了两国文化交流。
40．句意：位于惠灵顿的中国文化中心加入了新西兰最大的户外节日之一——CubaDupa艺术节。“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”为固定结构，表示“最……之一”，空处应填large的最高级形式。故填largest。
41．句意：活动从3月27日持续到28日。结合句意可知，此处考查固定搭配“from...to...”，意为“从……到……”。故填from。
42．句意：活动吸引了1750名艺术家和20多万名游客。根据空前的内容“The event attracted 1,750 artists and more than 200, 000”可知，此处指吸引了很多游客，空处应填可数名词复数，visit的名词复数形式visitors符合语境。故填visitors。
43．句意：它已经打破了全球户外节日的纪录。由关键词already可知句子应用现在完成时，且主语为It，助动词用has，break的过去分词形式为broken。故填has broken。
44．句意：中国艺术家在节日期间令人放松的演出非常受欢迎，因为他们表演了中国民间音乐和舞狮。空格后是名词performance，空处应填形容修饰名词，此处修饰物，用relax的形容词形式relaxing，意为“令人放松的”。故填relaxing。
45．句意：中国艺术家在节日期间令人放松的演出非常受欢迎，因为他们表演了中国民间音乐和舞狮。空格前后是因果关系，后句是原因，用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
46．句意：CubaDupa的艺术总监格里·保罗说，成千上万的艺术家希望在艺术节期间重返舞台。wish to do sth.“希望做某事”，是固定短语。故填to be。
47． 句意：由于疫情的原因，他们中的许多人无法举办演出。根据“epidemic”可知，有疫情，所以是不能演出，填形容词unable“不能的”。故填unable。
48． 句意：该中心主任郭宗光表示，这是该中心第一次参加该节日，这可能是推动两国之间的文化交流的一次机会。此处用exact的副词形式exactly修饰整个句子。故填exactly。
49． 句意：该中心主任郭宗光表示，这是该中心第一次参加该节日，这可能是推动两国之间的文化交流的一次机会。此处泛指“一次机会”，应用不定冠词修饰，且chance是以辅音音素开头的单词，应填a。故填a。
50．has been/is three weeks since I heard from/received a letter from/got a letter from
【详解】根据句意可知，考查句子结构“自从……一段时间了”，It has been+一段时间+since+一般过去时从句，或It is+一段时间+since+一般过去时从句。“收到某人的来信”可以用“hear from/receive a letter from/get a letter from”。根据since引导的从句用一般过去时，谓语动词应变成过去式。故填has been/is three weeks since I heard from/received a letter from/got a letter from。
51． have been great changes in the past ten years
【详解】great changes“巨大的变化”，in the past ten years“在过去的十年里”，这是现在完成时的标志词，根据There可知，要用there be句型的现在完成时，主语changes是复数，助动词用have，故填have been great changes；in the past ten years。
52．too excited to fall asleep
【详解】too...to表示“太……而不能”，excited表示“兴奋的”，形容人，作表语；动词短语fall asleep表示“入睡”。故填too excited to fall asleep。
53． didn’t manage to hand in his review on time until
【详解】manage to do sth“设法做某事”；hand in“上交”；his review“他的评论”；on time“准时”。此处是not...until...“直到……才……”结构。句子是一般过去时，否定句助动词用didn’t。故填didn’t manage to hand in his review on time until。
54．clever enough to know how to deal with different problems/so clever that he knows how to deal with different problems
【详解】对比中英文可知，空处缺少“够聪明，知道该如何处理不同的问题”；“够……该……”可以用“形容词+enough + to do sth.”或“so+形容词+that从句”来表达；clever“聪明的”，形容词；know“知道”，动词；how to deal with different problems“如何处理不同的问题”为“疑问词+不定式”结构，作动词know的宾语；从句为一般现在时，主语为第三人称单数，谓语动词用三单形式knows。故填clever enough to know how to deal with different problems/so clever that he knows how to deal with different problems。
55．have you been married to Ivy
【详解】“和某人结婚”be married to sb.；结合汉语意思可知用现在完成时，主语“you”前用助动词have。故填have you been married to Ivy。

Tebelis couldn’t eat that night. As he fell asleep, he thought of the impossible task before him.
That night, Tebelis had some strange dreams. Suddenly, Tebelis opened his eyes. This was it, the answer to his impossible task!
“I can use water to mill the grain (磨谷物),” he said to himself. “I can make a...a watermill!”
The laziest boy in Greece worked through the night for his plan.
The next morning, Tebelis described his idea in detail to his father. At first, Agathon didn’t believe that water could turn a heavy wheel.
“Our cow is old and sick. We could never finishing milling all that grain in a week by ourselves,” Tebelis said. “I’m sure my idea will work. The stream behind our house is the perfect place to build my watermill.”
Agathon felt that the boy wouldn’t give up easily this time and agreed.
Later that morning, Tebelis cut down a small tree and cut the wood into boards of different sizes. He worked day and night. A few days later, the work was finally done. They watched and waited...
Then slowly, ever so slowly, the millstone began to turn. It turned faster, faster, faster. It was working!
In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain. It was the time that Alexander’s soldiers returned to collect their flour (面粉). The lead soldier studied the machine for a long time. Then they collected their baskets and went away.
The next day, Tebelis heard voices, and, looking up, he found himself face to face with King Alexander once more.
“I have heard of this ‘watermill’ that you have built,” Alexander said. “Show me.”
The king examined the machine and then said, “They call you Tebelis, but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor, ‘the wise one.’”
He liked his new name, and he liked his new life.
Months passed. “I have an idea for another machine,” he told his father one sunny afternoon.
“Tell me about it,” Agathon said.
“Well,” said Nestor, “it’s something special. I call it a…”
24．What is the impossible task

C．To send flour to soldiers far away. D．To become a hard-working boy.
25．What replaced (代替) the old and sick cow to turn the millstone
A．Tebelis. B．Water. C．Another cow. D．Agathon.
26．Which of the following words can best describe Tebelis according to the passage

C．Lazy but helpful. D．Hard-working and creative (有创造力的).

Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes-a famous detective Here is one of his cases.
Stapleton, Charles’s younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew (侄子)—Henry both died.
Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound (猎犬), and of using the phosphorus (磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story.
Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles’s fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder (谋杀). It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.
Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. He needed something to give the hound Henry’s smell, so he paid a woman at Henry’s hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasn’t sure if his wife would keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel. She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.
After receiving the letter, Henry knew he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles’s death. So he asked Holmes for help.

In our life, friends can change. No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life.
I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they necessarily change.
There are some common reasons why some friendships end. Friends lose contact (联系) sometimes simply because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles changes, friends often change with these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moved far away. When living or working places change, friendships change as well. It’s just a part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet many new people and become friends with them. You will also lose contact with junior high school friends, at least some of them.
There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. However, you can keep some friendships by simply making an effort to stay in touch. This works well when you change your location (地点). When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember that these changes shouldn’t matter if the friendship is strong. Changing friendship doesn’t mean ending friendships.
If the friendship has to end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, another will take his or her place, maybe bring new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time.
31．What does the underlined word “fade” in Para.1 mean
A．Continue. B．Disappear. C．Return. D．Improve.

A．The writer never sees them.
B．The writer always thinks about them.
C．The writer misses them from time to time.
D．The writer communicates with them by email.

A．Move far away from junior high school.
B．Find a part-time job in a local company.
C．Meet new people and become friends with them.
D．Lose contact with all junior high school friends.

2．B
【详解】句意：——我的爸爸和我的爷爷奶奶去了上海。——真的吗？他们多久会回来？
考查现在完成时和特殊疑问句。How soon 多久，一般对将来时间进行提问；How long多长，一般对时间长短进行提问；has been to 是已经去过某处，并且已经回来了；has gone to 是已经去了某处，但是到目前为止还没有回来；has been in 待在某地。结合“will they come back”可知表示去了某地用have/has gone to，主语“my father”为第三人称单数，用has；结合“will they come back”可知是询问多久之后，用how soon提问，故选B。
3．D

考查动词辨析。received收到；returned归还；repeated重复；refused拒绝。根据答语“Maybe she can do it by herself.”可知，此处是指拒绝帮助。故选D。
4．C
【详解】句意：老人独自一人住在村子里，但他并不感到孤独。
考查形容词与副词的用法。第一空表示“独自居住”，要用副词alone来修饰动词lived；第二空表示“觉得寂寞”，要用feel lonely，lonely为形容词，作表语。故选C。
5．C
【详解】句意：——游行持续了多长时间？——半小时前就结束了。
考查动词时态。根据“How long”可知，第一空所在句子要用现在完成时，主语是the parade，所以结构为：has+过去分词，且动词要用延续性动词，be over是延续性动词，be的过去分词是been；又根据“half an hours ago”可知，第三空所在句子用一般过去时。故选C。
6．B
【详解】句意：——你觉得在这个办公室工作怎么样？ ——不是坏的。但我有时觉得这份工作在某些方面很无聊。
考查介词短语。on the way在路上；in some ways在某些方面；by the way顺便说一下；in the way阻碍，妨碍。根据“Not bad. But I sometimes think the job is boring”可知，此处是指在某些方面来说办公室工作有些无聊。故选B。

考查动词的时态。根据分析句子可知，此处考查常用句式：It is/has been+时间段+since从句，表示“自从……有……了”，后面跟过去的时间点或一般过去时的从句，表示一段时间，主句时态是一般现在时或现在完成时可知，第一个空填is或has been；第二个空填entered。故选D。

——我很荣幸，很高兴为你服务。这就是朋友的作用。
考查情景交际。Never mind没有关系，不要放在心上；All right 好的，可以；With pleasure我很乐意；My pleasure我很荣幸，很高兴为你服务。根据下文，这就是朋友的作用。结合语境可知选D。
【点睛】情景交际的考查是英语考试的重点，做此类题型首先要理解各个选项中句子的含义，然后结合具体语境选择合适答语。回答时一般要遵从以下几个原则：礼貌原则，利他原则和英语文化习惯。平时应注意积累各种习惯用语，了解英美文化的区别，尤其注意不能以中式思维思考英语问题。平时应加强英语阅读，增强语感，多了解一些英语文化方面的知识。
