三、阅读单选（本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）
（A）
Do you often need to try more than once to put a pair of shoes in their box correctly Can you catch a ball well Are you good at giving directions These daily activities need spatial (空间) thinking. It’s a skill that helps us control objects in our minds. When we think about tidying up our bedroom or finding our way home, we use it.
Spatial thinking is also important for learning maths. We use it to understand the relationship between shapes, spaces and areas. In fact, a scientific research shows that spatial ability really plays an important role in STEM (subjects like science, technology, engineering, math...) learning. For example, we need to understand the sizes and distances of planets in the solar system.
The good news is that spatial skills can be improved. One of the easiest ways is visualization (可视化). It means imagining a process in your head. This has something to do with stronger science and maths performance and can be improved through training. Younger children can practice visualization by imagining how to move jigsaw (拼图玩具) pieces in their minds. Older children can use visualization when using maths formulae (公式). Experts have also found that using toys like building blocks (积木) are also good for spatial skills. Finally, kids who hear more spatial language like “in”, “on” and “next to” can have better spatial skills. These words help them understand the relationships between objects.
( )31．How does the writer start the text
A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By using famous sayings.
( )32．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)
A．The bedroom. B．STEM learning. C．The research. D．Spatial thinking.
( )33．What does the last paragraph talk about
A．Why we should improve spatial skills. B．The ways of improving spatial skills.
C．Who can help to improve spatial skills. D．The best age to improve spatial skills.
（B）
Are you worried about past mistakes Did you let your friends down Thinking too much about these things can make us feel worried and tired. Cooking can help improve mental health (心理健康) by making people feel in control and happy again.
Julie Ohana, a social worker, mixes her love for cooking with talk therapy (谈话疗法). She believes the kitchen can bring change to people’s lives. “The kitchen provides a chance for people to recognize opportunities for change,” said Ohana.
Talk therapy is like talking to a special friend who listens well. You can share your feelings, thoughts, and problems. This friend gives advice to help you feel happier and more confident. It is a safe and helpful way to deal with things that bother you.
Ohana found that working in the kitchen can speed up the process. “Cooking gives quick happiness as you follow the steps,” she added. She uses cooking to help people build confidence and relax. She starts by learning about what food people like, their cooking skills, and any allergies (过敏). Then, they prepare dishes together.
Ohana thinks it’s important to focus on the cooking process. Like art or music therapy, cooking is about the process, not just the result. She believes making meals while being completely focused is a special and important experience.
( )34．What does Julie Ohana mix with cooking to help people
A．Exercise. B．Talk. C．Music. D．Art.
( )35．What does the word “bother” most likely mean in the passage
A．Help. B．Enjoy. C．Support. D．Trouble.
( )36．What can be inferred (推断) about cooking according to Ohana
A．It helps people focus and feel better. B．It is best done alone.
C．It is only about making delicious food. D．It needs special skills.
( )37．What is the best title for the passage
A．The Joy of Cooking Alone. B．How to Cook Perfect Meals.
C．Cooking as a Way to Help. D．The History of Talk Therapy.
（C）
What bees can do with their tiny brains Now scientists are studying bees to find it out.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment with bees and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans.
Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
( )38．Which fact helps scientists to design experiments with bees
A．They like sugar. B．They are insects.
C．They are tiny. D．They can fly.
( )39．What would bees do when the task was hard
A．Try it. B．Avoid it. C．Design it. D．Prepare it.
( )40．What did the scientist learn from the experiment
A．Bees seemed to make decisions like humans.
B．Bees couldn’t do much with their tiny brains.
C．Bees were different from humans when making decisions.
D．It was certain that bees could make a thoughtful choice.
( )41．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A Study on How We do experiments B．A Survey on Why Bees Like Sugar
C．A Report about How Brains Work D．A Study on How Bees Think
（D）
Covered by snow and ice, Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest and most mysterious continent (大陆) on Earth. However, this wild place still attracts people who wish to go there.
Antarctica is a good place to research the land, ocean, air, ice shelves and biology. Antarctica also has rich sources (资源产区) of coal, fresh water and seafood.
More than 30 countries have built research stations in Antarctica. During the past 40 years, China has built these stations: Changcheng, Zhongshan, Taishan, Kunlun and Qinling.
With the average temperature of -25°C to -30°C in Antarctica, scientists there don’t have many choices for traveling. If the weather is good, scientists will go outside to collect samples (标本) of water, rocks and other things. There are all kinds of laboratories at their stations.
However, they do more than just research. The scientists there have found many ways to relax. At Zhongshan Station, for example, there is a field where they can play basketball, volleyball and badminton. Zhongshan Station is not far from stations built by Russia, India and Australia. Sometimes, people from the four stations will meet and hold big parties and sports events.
Although life in Antarctica can be hard, people there get to learn more about the unknown world and enjoy the beauty of nature. That might be the best part of visiting the area.
( )42．How many research stations has China built in Antarctica so far
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
( )43．Which word can take the place of “average” in Paragraph 4

四、词汇应用
46．completely
【详解】句意：琳达的妈妈对她很满意，因为她的卧室总是很整洁。分析句子结构可知，此处用副词形式，作状语，修饰形容词“pleased”，completely“完全地”符合。故填completely。
47．products
【详解】句意：肉类产品是许多饮食的重要组成部分。produce意为“产品”，作主语，be动词是are，此处用名词复数形式。故填products。
48．customers
【详解】句意：在周末超市里通常挤满了顾客。根据“the supermarket is usually full of …”可知，超市挤满了顾客，所以这里应用名词customer“顾客”的复数形式customers。故填customers。
49．arrives
【详解】句意：格林夫人说：“大家一到，我们就开始会议。”此句是由“as soon as”引导的时间状语从句，应遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，从句主语“everyone”是符合不定代词，视作单数，因此动词需变为单三形式“arrives”。故填arrives。
50．freely
【详解】句意：他的腿三个月前受伤了，但现在他可以自由走动了。此处修饰动词用副词freely“自由地”。故填freely。
51．properly
【详解】句意：虽然机器人可以妥善地完成任务，但它们缺乏人类的创造力。“妥善地”properly，副词修饰动词。故填properly。
52．regret
【详解】句意：我相信你永远不会后悔看电影《罗马假日》。根据汉语提示可知，空处应填regret“后悔”，助动词will后面加动词原形。故填regret。
53．products
【详解】句意：我们对你们的新产品感到满意，因为它们对我们帮助很大。结合句意和汉语提示可知，product“产品”，符合语境，根据“they are”可知，此处需要使用复数形式。故填products。
54．smoothly
【详解】句意：凯利是一个聪明的秘书，她使办公室运转顺利。此处需要副词修饰“running”，smoothly符合句意，故填smoothly。
55．standards
【详解】句意：方圆很认真，工作总是高标准。根据中文提示可知，standard“标准”，可数名词，此处用复数形式。故填standards。
五、完成句子
56．First of all
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处应填“首先”，结合空数可知，应用first of all表示“首先”。故填First；of；all。
57． go and have it fixed
【详解】去：go；把它修好：have it fixed；两个动词是并列关系，用and，故填go；and；have；it；fixed。
58．for free
【详解】“免费”为for free，故填for；free。
59．should be laid well
【详解】lay表示“摆放”，well“好”，副词修饰动词。分析题干可知，动词lay和主语everything之间是被动关系，should表示“应该”，所以此处应用含有情态动词的被动语态结构：should be done。故填should；be；laid；well。
60．are satisfied with such a high level of service/are satisfied with such good service
【详解】分析中文句子可知，表示“对……满意”要用be satisfied with，本句时态为一般现在时，主语passengers为复数，be动词要用are；“优质服务”可用such a high level of service或such good service表达。故填are satisfied with such a high level of service/are satisfied with such good service。
六、短文语法填空
61．but 62．have found 63．a 64．exactly 65．events 66．was used 67．for 68．them 69．possible 70．burning
【导语】本文主要介绍了人类已经找到许多不同的方法来控制天气。
61．句意：在他那个时代这是真的，但在当今世界可能就不是真的了。根据“This was true in his day,…it may not be true in today’s world.”可知，空处前后句是转折关系，应用连词but“但是”连接。故填but。
62．句意：事实上，人类已经发现了许多不同的控制天气的方法。根据“so far”可知, 句子时态应用现在完成时；主语是humans，助动词应用have，find的过去分词形式时found。故填have found。
63．句意：云催化是一种可以控制降雨的技术。此处是一个常用英文表达：a kind of“一种”。故填a。
64．句意：它改变了云中的水量，这有助于精确控制降雨量。此处应填exact的副词形式exactly“精确的”，修饰动词control。故填exactly。
65．句意：这项技术在重大活动中发挥了关键作用。event“活动”，为可数名词，空处应填其复数形式events。故填events。
66．句意：例如，杭州亚运会前夕，杭州使用了人工降雨，以防止比赛期间降雨。此处主语和动词之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态；主语cloud是第三人称单数形式，be动词用was，use的过去分词是used。故填was used。
67．句意：例如，碘化银可能对环境有害。此处是一个常用英文表达：be bad for“对……有害”，空处应填介词for。故填for。
68．句意：另一方面，科学家们认为没有两种云是相同的，因此每一项新的实验都会给他们带来新的条件。此处缺少宾语，空处应填they的人称代词宾格形式them“他们”。故填them。
69．句意：一些美国科学家认为使用激光控制飓风是可能的。根据句意可知，此处美国科学家应是认为使用激光控制飓风是可能的，空处应填impossible“不可能的”肯定形式possible“可能的”。故填possible。
70．句意：其他人则认为，在飓风路径上燃烧石油可以减缓风暴。此处介词 by后应接动名词形式，空处应填burn的动名词形式burning“燃烧”。故填burning。
