Ⅰ.阅读理解
Zara Rutherford， who is just 19 years old， is flying around the world by herself in a small plane.When she finishes her trip， which will take over two months， she’ll become the youngest woman to fly all the way around the globe by herself.
Ms Rutherford， who’s British-Belgian， began her trip in Belgium on 18 August.She plans to fly across five continents， through 52 countries before returning to Belgium in November.
Shaesta Waiz， the current record holder， was 30 years old when she flew around the world.She says she’s happy Ms Rutherford is trying to break her record.
Ms Rutherford’s parents are both pilots， and they helped her practice.She’s been learning to fly planes since she was 14 years old.She got her pilot’s license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice.
She’s making this trip in a small two-seater plane called a microlight.One of the seats has been replaced with an extra gas tank， which will allow Ms Rutherford to cover longer distances.The plane has had several other updates for safety， including a second radio， and satellite communications that let her talk to people whenever she needs to.
To follow her route， Ms Rutherford needs to be able to see， since her plane can’t be guided using its instruments alone.That means she can’t fly at night or in bad weather.To avoid clouds， she has to fly close to the land or ocean， which can be dangerous.
Because of the danger， Ms Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies.She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean.
She plans to stay a night or two in each place to visit with schools and youth groups.She advises young girls to explore areas like aviation （flying）， science， mathematics， and engineering.As her father points out， currently， only about 5% of pilots are women.
“It’s an easy thing to say， but just go for it，” Ms Rutherford says.“If you don’t try and see how high you can fly， then you’ll never know.”
1.What do we learn about Zara Rutherford？
A.She will fly with her parents.
B.She will stay in 52 countries.
C.She knows Shaesta Waiz well.
D.She is well prepared for the trip.
2.What makes Zara Rutherford’s trip very dangerous？

You Are a Better Person Than You Think You Are
Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-planned time. 5 But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure.You could indeed be a wonderful person.You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are.So， let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.
You show kindness
Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person.When you do this， you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 6 Even the smallest things do not go unnoticed and tell others you have a good heart.
You are a positive person
Keeping an optimistic （乐观的） attitude is also what a good person often does.It is easy to become down with all the bad things going on in the world， but there’s another way to look at these things.When you’re actually better than you think， you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 7

Being wise is not about being intelligent.It’s about learning from life experiences.Why does this make you a better person than you think？ Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made.You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.
So， go easy on yourself.Appreciate （感恩） who you are.If there are things you need to change， that’s okay. 9 It’s about our attitude and our heart.If you took the time to read this， you are a better person than you think.
A.We all have problems.
B.You give honest comments.
C.Respect others and their space.
D.It’s just all about showing optimism.
E.You are wise， and you share your wisdom.
F.Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.
G.This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front of you at the checkout line.

Ⅳ.语法填空
Chinese speakers tend to use “spear （矛） and shield （盾）” 25 （describe） anything that’s contradictory （矛盾的）.Actually， now the Chinese phrase for “contradiction” 26 （call） Mao Dun or “spear and shield”.
Nearly 2，000 years ago， there was a man living in the State of Chu.One day， he went to a market to sell spears and shields — two most common 27 （weapon） at that time.
When a small crowd gathered around the seller to look at his goods， the man 28 （decide） to advertise his shields first.He said， “Please look at my shields.They are certainly the 29 （strong） ones you can ever find in the world.”
Then some of the potential buyers came closer to have a careful examination of the shields， 30 they couldn’t see anything special about them.
The seller then moved on to brag about his spears， “Now please have a good look at my spears.They are the sharpest weapons 31 have ever been produced.So， no matter how firm a shield is， my spears will pierce （刺穿） through it 32 （easy）.”
After listening to the seller’s pitch， a man stepped forward and said， “You just told us that your shields are the strongest in the world and then you claim your spears are the sharpest.How about 33 （use） your spears on your shields？”
The seller was unable to respond.
So today， instead of saying “you are contradicting yourself”， Chinese will say “you are attacking your shield 34 your own spear”.

（2024·合肥六校联盟高一上学期期中）Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry， early bird？” Mum asked him.“ We will have an English spelling test today， Mum，” Peter said.“ Mr White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last， it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility，” Mr White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word： contribution，” Mr White said. “So easy.” Peter thought happily. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later， the test papers were collected by Mr White. After marking the test papers， Mr White said， “Three of you win a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter， David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test！”
Mr White praised them. Meanwhile， he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.
After Mr White gave the test paper back， Peter had a look at the words， feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden， the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare it with the one on the word list. It turned out that he had spelled it wrong.
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper， Peter was lost in thought. After a while， he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him， “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

32.easily 考查词形转换。本空前面有谓语动词pierce，因此这里用副词easily来修饰它。
33.using 考查非谓语动词。How/What about doing sth是固定句型，因此这里用动词-ing形式。
34.with 考查介词。attack your shield with your own spear表示“用你自己的矛攻击你的盾”。
Ⅴ.
Dear Chris，
It’s lovely to hear from you. In China， we have a concept of Sheng Xiao， or the Chinese zodiac， which is based on a repeating cycle of 12 years， with each year being represented by an animal. The year 2024 is the year of the dragon.
Dragons are everywhere in China — in legends， festivals， astrology， art， names， and idioms. In Chinese culture， the dragon symbolizes imperial power， good fortune， power over weather and water， and a pioneering spirit. Meanwhile， dragons also stand for people with great talents. For example， we have an idiom “wang zi cheng long” which means all parents wish their children to become talented and successful.
Hope my ideas will be helpful to you. Best wishes！
Yours，
Li Hua

Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. “Mr White， I didn’t get 100 in the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘si’ instead of ‘ti’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class，” he said， “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest. He looked around， finding that many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter， I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us，” Mr White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to him with a big smile. He also really learnt the importance of honesty. He couldn’t wait to tell Mum one of his best days ever.

family had been preparing for it for quite some time.
①Early in the morning， I woke up excited.First I got dressed
quickly.Then I headed downstairs to help.Mum was already in the kitchen
preparing Grandpa’s special birthday lunch.Dad was nowhere to be seen.②
After a quick breakfast， I checked the special gift I had made for
Grandpa， a video of his life story — for the last time.③For weeks I had
been working on this， listening to Grandpa’s stories， selecting his
favourite music and collecting photos from the family album.
Just before lunchtime， Dad came in with some guests.Surprisingly，
they were Grandpa’s best friends from secondary school， all in their
seventies.Grandpa couldn’t believe his eyes and it took quite a long time
for them to calm down.④As soon as the guests took their seats，
Grandpa’s favourite music began to fill the room with memories of the old
days.With each old photo， the guests saw how Grandpa grew from a
handsome boy to a kind old gentleman.The best part came when Grandpa
and his friends appeared in an old photo in their school uniforms.There was
a lot of laughter in the room， and quite a few tears in their eyes.
Towards the end of the party， Grandpa said excitedly， “It is a
wonderful birthday celebration and I’ve got the best gift I have ever
received.Now I am looking forward to my eightieth， ninetieth and even
one hundredth birthdays already！”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Zara Rutherford， who is just 19 years old， is flying around the
world by herself in a small plane.When she finishes her trip， which will
take over two months， she’ll become the youngest woman to fly all the
way around the globe by herself.
Ms Rutherford， who’s British-Belgian， began her trip in Belgium
on 18 August.She plans to fly across five continents， through 52 countries
before returning to Belgium in November.
Shaesta Waiz， the current record holder， was 30 years old when
she flew around the world.She says she’s happy Ms Rutherford is trying to
break her record.
Ms Rutherford’s parents are both pilots， and they helped her
practice.She’s been learning to fly planes since she was 14 years old.She
got her pilot’s license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice.
She’s making this trip in a small two-seater plane called a
microlight.One of the seats has been replaced with an extra gas tank，
which will allow Ms Rutherford to cover longer distances.The plane has
had several other updates for safety， including a second radio， and
satellite communications that let her talk to people whenever she needs to.
To follow her route， Ms Rutherford needs to be able to see， since
her plane can’t be guided using its instruments alone.That means she can’t
fly at night or in bad weather.To avoid clouds， she has to fly close to the
land or ocean， which can be dangerous.
Because of the danger， Ms Rutherford worked hard to prepare for
emergencies.She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in
the ocean.
She plans to stay a night or two in each place to visit with schools and
youth groups.She advises young girls to explore areas like aviation
（flying）， science， mathematics， and engineering.As her father
points out， currently， only about 5% of pilots are women.
“It’s an easy thing to say， but just go for it，” Ms Rutherford
says.“If you don’t try and see how high you can fly， then you’ll never
know.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·河北六校联考）
You Are a Better Person Than You Think You Are
Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-planned time. 5 But
this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure.You could indeed be a
wonderful person.You could actually be a much better person than you
believe you are.So， let’s examine the idea that you might be better than
you think.
You show kindness
Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person.When you do
this， you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 6
Even the smallest things do not go unnoticed and tell others you have a
good heart.
You are a positive person
Keeping an optimistic （乐观的） attitude is also what a good person
often does.It is easy to become down with all the bad things going on in the
world， but there’s another way to look at these things.When you’re
actually better than you think， you will have the habit of looking on the
bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 7
8
Being wise is not about being intelligent.It’s about learning from life
experiences.Why does this make you a better person than you think？
Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you
made.You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share
lessons with others.
So， go easy on yourself.Appreciate （感恩） who you are.If there
are things you need to change， that’s okay. 9 It’s about our attitude
and our heart.If you took the time to read this， you are a better person
than you think.
A. We all have problems.
B. You give honest comments.
C. Respect others and their space.
D. It’s just all about showing optimism.
E. You are wise， and you share your wisdom.
F. Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.
G. This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for
people in front of you at the checkout line.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。通过一些刻意的努力，我们可以做
得比自己想象的更优秀。
5. F 根据上文Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-
planned time.以及下文But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person
or a failure.可知，每个人都有不完美的一面，但这并不意味着你
是一个坏人或失败者；F项承接上文，继续列举人们还可能存在的
不足之处；下文承接F项指出尽管有这些不足，但是这并不意味着
你是一个坏人或失败者；故选F。
6. G 根据小标题You show kindness以及上文Being polite and kind
is ...want to be treated.可知，当你礼貌善意地对待别人，这就说明你
是个好人；下文Even the smallest things do not go unnoticed and tell
others you have a good heart.指出甚至是最小的事情也能展示你的善
良。G项列举了生活中你所做的一些表明你很善良的一些事情，选
项中的This指代上文的内容；故选G。
6. G 根据小标题
以及上文Being polite and kind
is ...want to be treated.可知，当你礼貌善意地对待别人，这就说明你
是个好人；下文Even the smallest things do not go unnoticed and tell
others you have a good heart.指出甚至是最小的事情也能展示你的善
良。G项列举了生活中你所做的一些表明你很善良的一些事情，选
项中的This指代上文的内容；故选G。
7. D 根据小标题You are a positive person以及上文When you’re
actually better than you think， you will have the habit of looking on the
bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone.可知，当
你成为一个积极乐观的人，能够看到事物美好的一面的时候，你就
很好；D项中的It指代上文中的have the habit of looking on the bright
side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone，指出当你能够
看到事物美好的一面的时候，你是很乐观积极的，故选D。
7. D 根据小标题
以及上文When you’re
actually better than you think， you will have the habit of looking on the
bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone.可知，当
你成为一个积极乐观的人，能够看到事物美好的一面的时候，你就
很好；D项中的It指代上文中的have the habit of looking on the bright
side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone，指出当你能够
看到事物美好的一面的时候，你是很乐观积极的，故选D。
8. E 分析文章结构可知，设空处是小标题。由下文可知，当你从
生活经历中获得智慧，并把你学到的经验教训与别人分享时，你就
是一个很好的人；由此可知，此段建议与别人分享自己的智慧，故
选E。
9. A 上文So， go easy on yourself.Appreciate （感恩） who you
are.If there are things you need to change， that’s okay.可知，要对自
己宽容一点，接受自己的不完美，有需要改变的地方也是没关系
的；A项承接上文，指出我们都会有些问题，符合语境。故选A。

Ⅳ.语法填空
Chinese speakers tend to use “spear （矛） and shield
（盾）” 25 （describe） anything that’s contradictory （矛盾
的）.Actually， now the Chinese phrase for “contradiction” 26
（call） Mao Dun or “spear and shield”.
Nearly 2，000 years ago， there was a man living in the State of
Chu.One day， he went to a market to sell spears and shields — two most
common 27 （weapon） at that time.
When a small crowd gathered around the seller to look at his goods，
the man 28 （decide） to advertise his shields first.He said， “Please
look at my shields.They are certainly the 29 （strong） ones you can
ever find in the world.”
Then some of the potential buyers came closer to have a careful
examination of the shields， 30 they couldn’t see anything special
about them.
The seller then moved on to brag about his spears， “Now please
have a good look at my spears.They are the sharpest weapons 31 have
ever been produced.So， no matter how firm a shield is， my spears will
pierce （刺穿） through it 32 （easy）.”
After listening to the seller’s pitch， a man stepped forward and
said， “You just told us that your shields are the strongest in the world and
then you claim your spears are the sharpest.How about 33 （use）
your spears on your shields？”
The seller was unable to respond.
So today， instead of saying “you are contradicting yourself”，
Chinese will say “you are attacking your shield 34 your own spear”.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要讲述了中文里的“自相矛
盾”这一成语故事。
25. to describe 考查非谓语动词。这里表示人们使用“矛”和“盾”去描
述两种相互冲突的事物，因此用动词不定式作目的状语。
26. is called 考查动词的时态和语态。这里表示英文中的contradiction
在中文里被叫作“矛盾”，应用被动语态，另外这里陈述一个客观事
实，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
27. weapons 考查名词复数。weapon为可数名词单数，因为前面有
two一词，因此用它的复数形式。
28. decided 考查动词的时态。根据上下文语境可知，这里应该用一
般过去时。
29. strongest 考查形容词的最高级。根据空后的you can ever find in
the world可知，这里应该用形容词的最高级形式。
30. but 考查连词。这里前后两个分句之间存在转折关系，因此用并
列连词but。
31. that 考查定语从句。此处先行词weapons前面被形容词最高级修
饰，因此用关系代词that引导定语从句。
32. easily 考查词形转换。本空前面有谓语动词pierce，因此这里用副
词easily来修饰它。
33. using 考查非谓语动词。How/What about doing sth是固定句型，
因此这里用动词-ing形式。
34. with 考查介词。attack your shield with your own spear表示“用你自
己的矛攻击你的盾”。
Ⅴ.应用文写作

参考范文：
Dear Chris，
It’s lovely to hear from you. In China， we have a concept of Sheng
Xiao， or the Chinese zodiac， which is based on a repeating cycle of 12
years， with each year being represented by an animal. The year 2024 is
the year of the dragon.
Dragons are everywhere in China — in legends， festivals，
astrology， art， names， and idioms. In Chinese culture， the dragon
symbolizes imperial power， good fortune， power over weather and
water， and a pioneering spirit. Meanwhile， dragons also stand for
people with great talents. For example， we have an idiom “wang zi cheng
long” which means all parents wish their children to become talented and
successful.
Hope my ideas will be helpful to you. Best wishes！
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅵ.读后续写
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。
（2024·合肥六校联盟高一上学期期中）Peter woke up early in the
morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as
quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry， early bird？” Mum
asked him.“ We will have an English spelling test today， Mum，” Peter
said.“ Mr White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when
Dad drove him to school. At last， it was time for the students to have a
test. “Responsibility，” Mr White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper
quickly and confidently.
“The second word： contribution，” Mr White said. “So easy.” Peter
thought happily. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later， the
test papers were collected by Mr White. After marking the test papers，
Mr White said， “Three of you win a prize today for excellent test scores.
Peter， David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test！”
Mr White praised them. Meanwhile， he gave the three students each
a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked
best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.
After Mr White gave the test paper back， Peter had a look at the
words， feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden， the word
“contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare
it with the one on the word list. It turned out that he had spelled it wrong.
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper，
Peter was lost in thought. After a while， he remembered a lesson Mum
used to teach him， “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously.
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being
honest.
参考范文：
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. “Mr White， I didn’t get
100 in the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the
dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘si’
instead of ‘ti’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise
as he walked back to his desk. Mr White held up Peter’s test paper.
“Class，” he said， “Peter did something even more important than
spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr White smiled at Peter. “He
taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest.
He looked around， finding that many of his classmates were smiling at
him. “Peter， I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good
example for all of us，” Mr White said. Peter took the dictionary from his
teacher and expressed his thanks to him with a big smile. He also really
learnt the importance of honesty. He couldn’t wait to tell Mum one of his
best days ever.
谢谢观看！
