How was your summer vacation My family visited Everglades National Park in America this vacation. 4
On the first day, when we got to the park, it was getting dark. As we went down the road, I almost stepped (踩) on something! 5 We turned on our flashlights and we took a close look and found it was an alligator (短吻鳄). That was scary but interesting. There were quite a few alligators around. 6 She told us that we’d better turn off the flashlights so that we could see them more clearly.
On the second day, we saw another kind of interesting animal—dolphins (海豚). 7 They were kept in the pool dancing or playing games for people. But in Everglades National Park, we saw them swimming freely and happily in the river. Some of them jumped out of the water. 8 My youngest sister was so excited that she jumped up and down. After about five minutes, it seemed that they felt bored and swam away.
It was such an interesting trip that I would never forget it.
A．We wondered what it was.
B．We once saw them at the zoo.
C．Just at that time, a park worker walked by.

opinion with important worry they save play appear big keep
Now more and more people like keeping pets. But different opinions 1 about their usefulness. Many families deeply connect 2 pets, treating them as family members like daughters or sons. On the one hand, they believe pets 3 a part in easing loneliness by staying with them when they’re alone. On the other hand, some pets are brave. When some people are in danger, the pets can 4 them. Recently, guide dogs have even helped send elderly people to hospitals successfully. Through all of the above, we can understand the 5 of owning pets for some people.
However, other people are against 6 pets because of so many reasons. They think it is very wasteful (浪费的) to spend hundreds of dollars on pets. In 7 view, the money should be used to help the poor. Some people are also 8 about the illness that pets may bring to them. Pets don’t know that people need a quiet environment. So their sounds may become the 9 problem in their lives.
How different the 10 about pets are! I think keeping pets is a personal habit. But if you can’t deal with it well, that will make your neighbours dislike you.
六、完形填空
Lots of people were moved when Larke Luna shared the special relationship between her 2-year-old son Otto and a wild crow (乌鸦) named Russell on the Internet. People heard that kids and their pets became lifelong friends, 1 no one heard that a crow was such a pet.
The 2 started last year. Last August, Larke Luna brought a little crow home. Because Larke Luna couldn’t find the crow’s parents, she decided to keep the poor little bird and 3 it Russell.
“Russell is a wild 4 . It’s not around Otto all the time. However, when Otto is outside, it’ll never 5 Otto’s side,” said Larke. “They have a 6 relationship,” she added. And in fact, in all of the shared videos, we can see how Otto is patiently (耐心地) followed by Russell no matter where the little kid goes or what he 7 .
Crows are social (群居的) animals. They have very good memories and can use tools. They are very 8 . Some scientists even compare the intelligence (智力) of the crow to a seven-year-old human child’s. So it’s not so 9 that Russell is so happy to be with Otto and is so attached (喜欢) to this loving family.
The 10 between Otto and Russell shows that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and pure joy. So everyone should be kind to animals.

The Mystery of the Baobab Tree
The baobab tree is a strange and amazing tree that grows in Africa and Australia. It has a very thick trunk—some can be as wide as 10 metres! The tree can store a large amount of water in its trunk, which helps it survive in dry climates.
Baobab trees have a long lifespan. Some are over 2,000 years old. Their leaves are usually small and fall off during the dry season to save water. In the wet season, the tree grows new leaves and produces white flowers.
These trees are important to local communities. People use the bark to make ropes and cloth. The fruit of the baobab is edible and rich in vitamin C. Some animals, like baboons and elephants, also rely on the tree for food and shelter.
However, baobab trees are facing threats. Deforestation and climate change are causing their numbers to decline. Scientists are studying these trees to find ways to protect them and ensure their survival for future generations.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
1.This passage is most likely taken from ______. （ ）
A. a storybook B. a science magazine
C. a travel guide D. a cooking recipe
2.Where do baobab trees grow （ ）
A. Only in Africa B. In Africa and Australia
C. In Asia and Europe D. All over the world
3.Why can baobab trees survive in dry climates （ ）
A. Because they have small leaves.
B. Because they grow new leaves in the wet season.

D. Because they produce white flowers.
4.The underlined word “edible” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. （ ）
A. 可食用的 B. 有毒的
C. 坚硬的 D. 罕见的

II. 语言点精练参考答案
一、单项选择
1.—I heard your team lost the basketball game yesterday. That’s too bad.
—Well, ________, we didn’t lose. We won!
A．quickly B．brightly C．actually D．certainly
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——我听说你们队昨天输了篮球赛。那太糟糕了。——嗯，其实我们并没有输。我们赢了！
考查副词辨析。quickly迅速地；brightly明亮地；actually实际上；certainly当然。根据“Well…we didn’t lose. We won!”可知，实际上，“我们”赢了比赛，没有输。故选C。
2.Grandpa enjoys ______ stories and he appears ______ countless stories.
A．to tell; to have B．telling; to have C．to tell; having D．telling; having
【答案】B
【详解】句意：爷爷喜欢讲故事，他似乎有数不尽的故事。
考查非谓语的用法。根据“Grandpa enjoys...stories and he appears...countless stories”可知，enjoy doing sth “喜欢做某事”；appear to do sth “似乎做某事”，故第一个空填telling，第二个空填to have。故选B。
3.Mr. Dong ________ actually ________ in Kowloon Walled City since he was very young.
A．have; lived B．has; lived C．have; live D．has; living
【答案】B
【详解】句意：董先生其实从小就住在九龙寨城。
考查现在完成时。根据“since he was very young”可知，此句应用现在完成时，构成为have/ has done，主语“Mr. Dong”为第三人称单数形式，因此用has，live“居住”，过去分词形式为lived。故选B。
4.She saw the shooting star ________ when she looked up into the sky.
A．fall B．falling C．fallen D．fell
【答案】B
【详解】句意：当她抬头望向天空时，她看到流星正在坠落。
考查现在分词作宾语补足语。根据“the shooting star”可知，此处应指看见流行正在坠落，see sth. doing“看见某物正在……”，因此应用现在分词形式。故选B。
5.With the development of science, more kinds of robots ______ in our families in the future.
A．appear B．will appear C．are appearing D．appeared
【答案】B
【详解】句意：随着科学的发展，更多种类的机器人在未来将会出现在我们的家庭中。
考查时态。根据in the future可知，该句时态为一般将来时，即will do。故选B。
二、用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。
