So when your friend says, ‘I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain’, you know he is OK.”可知,如果一个人感觉“as right as rain”,意味着他和往常一样健康。故选C。12.推理判断题。根据“But the expression ‘know which way the wind blows’ suggests that a man won’t tell his idea about something till he knows it well.”可知,知道风向的人在充分了解某件事之前不会轻易表达自己的想法,由此可推测这样的人是谨慎的。故选D。13.主旨大意题。根据“There are so many English expressions about the weather. Sometimes they mean something different.”以及全文内容可知,本文主要围绕关于天气的英语表达展开,介绍了不同表达的含义。故选D。14.A 15.B 16.C 17.D本文主要介绍了蚊子的生活习性和对气候的适应能力。14.细节理解题。根据“But if the city has a lot of rain and the weather is warm, there are a lot of mosquitoes.”可知,蚊子喜欢温暖潮湿的天气。因此从第一段我们可以了解到蚊子最喜欢的天气。故选A。15.推理判断题。根据“During summer, the temperature of some places there can be over 30℃.”和“Also, mosquitoes have few enemies in the Arctic.”可知,蚊子可以在北极很好地生存,因此第二段解释了蚊子为什么能在北极地区很好地生存。故选B。16.细节理解题。根据“However, the eggs of mosquitoes can’t grow up because the weather is cool even in summer in Iceland and changes a lot.”可知,即使在夏天,冰岛的气候条件也不适合蚊子的卵长大。故选C。17.推理判断题。本文主要介绍了蚊子的生活习性和对气候的适应能力,这是科学方面的知识。因此我们可以在英语杂志的科学版块看到本文。故选D。18.C 19.A 20.B 21.C本文是一篇说明文,介绍了国际求救信号“Mayday”的含义、起源及其与“SOS”的区别,讲述了其由来的历史故事和使用规则,是一篇关于通信与航空安全的科普短文。18.细节理解题。根据“Maybe you have seen scenes in movies where a pilot has a problem during the flight and you hear them shout ‘Mayday, mayday, mayday’”可知,飞行员遇到问题时会喊“Mayday”,故选C。19.细节理解题。根据“In Morse code, ‘SOS’ is three dots, three dashes and three dots”可知,SOS的摩尔斯电码是三点、三线、三点,即“···- - -···”,故选A。20.最佳标题题。根据全文内容,本文介绍了求救信号“Mayday”的起源、使用场景、使用规范,以及与“SOS”的区别,核心是“危险时发送求救信号”,故选B。21.推理判断题。本文介绍了求救信号的科学知识,属于科普内容,最可能出现在杂志的“科学”版块,故选C。22.D 23.B 24.C 25.D本文介绍水牛真诚的友谊及对其生活的积极影响。22.细节理解题。文章开头“Believe it or not, there are friendships among animals. A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions.”列举了狗和猫、猴子和长颈鹿、海豚和狮子之间的友谊例子,所以是通过举例开始的。故选D。23.推理判断题。第二段主要讲了香港城市大学的一个科学家团队在大屿山研究水牛,在岛上不同地方放置摄像机来密切观察水牛的行为,这是在说明科学家是如何做研究的。故选B。24.细节理解题。文中明确提到“Later, the scientists found that the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes.”,所以水牛交朋友时,性格和兴趣是最重要的。故选C。25.细节理解题。最后一段“The scientists say beautiful friendships among water buffaloes make their life longer, healthier and happier.”表明美好的友谊让水牛生活得更好。故选D。26.C 27.A 28.F 29.D 30.E本文是一篇说明文,阐述了朋友的重要性,并针对害羞者提供了在学校结交新朋友的具体建议,包括保持微笑、主动搭话、寻找共同话题等,旨在帮助读者更轻松地建立友谊。26.根据“Having a good friend can make your school life much more enjoyable. You can talk about something fun.”可知,这里应是继续说明好朋友的作用,选项C“你们也可以分享问题并互相支持。”符合语境,承接前文“谈论趣事”,补充好朋友的其他积极作用,故选C。27.根据“But maybe making new friends at school is not so easy…Here are some pieces of advice that might be helpful to you!”可知,这里应是提出如何结交新朋友的疑问,选项A“那么你如何结交新朋友呢?”符合语境,承接前文“交友不易”,引出后文建议,故选A。28.根据“Because it can make you look friendly…Instead, smile naturally if someone approaches you.”可知,这里应是建议微笑,选项F“最简单的做法是微笑。”符合语境,直接点明本段核心建议,与后文微笑的作用呼应,故选F。29.根据“Just say ‘Hi, do you mind if I sit here ’”可知,这里应是说明这句话的作用,选项D“这是打破僵局的好方法。”符合语境,解释主动搭话的意义,故选D。30.根据“After that, continue the conversations by finding something you both like. Maybe the person is reading a book you’ve read or has something that interests you.”可知,这里应是说明共同兴趣的作用,选项E“这会给你们一些有趣的话题可聊。”符合语境,承接前文共同兴趣,解释其对延续对话的帮助,故选E。31.differences你能找出这两个地方之间的一些不同之处吗?some后接可数名词复数形式,根据汉语提示可知,“不同”对应的名词是difference。故填differences。32.create/reate当我们为别人做些事情时,我们会创造出一些温暖的东西。根据汉语以及首字母提示可知,英文表达是create,句子陈述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语是“we”,复数形式,谓语动词用原形,故填create。33.enter我们应该努力学习以进入一所好的高中。结合汉语提示和语境可知,句子中“to”在这里是不定式符号,后面需要接动词原形。“进入”对应的英文单词是“enter”,它是动词原形,符合句子结构要求。故填enter。34.solve/olve吉尔很高兴他能解决这道很难的数学题。根据首字母“s”及汉语提示可知,“解决”对应动词“solve”;情态动词“can”后接动词原形,故填solve。35.(n)ervous他太紧张了,几乎解不出这道数学题。nervous“紧张的”,形容词。故填(n)ervous。36.foggy天气预报说明天上午将是有雾的。有雾的:foggy,形容词,在句中作表语,故填foggy。37.rose昨天地震中死亡的人数上升到127人。根据“yesterday”可知,此句时态是一般过去时;rise动词“上升”,过去式是rose。故填rose。38.(a)ccept他决定不接受这份新工作。accept“接受”,动词。根据题干中的to可知,本题应使用动词不定式to accept“接受”。故填(a)ccept。39.catches my eye 40.In order to 41.yourselves 42.as often as possible 43.a sense of safety本文主要介绍了校园生活中“互助学习小组”的相关情况,包括加入小组的目的、遇到问题的解决方式以及互助带来的意义。39.它立刻吸引了我的注意。根据“My classmate has a plan—the ‘Mutual Help Study Group’”和备选词汇可知,此处需表示“吸引某人注意”,catches my eyes符合语境,指互助学习小组一提出就引起了关注。主语It是第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单形式。故填catches my eye。40.为了提高我们的学习并互相帮助,我们一起加入了这个小组。根据“…improve our studies and help each other”和“we join the group together”以及备选词汇可知,考查In order to do sth“为了做某事”,此处用不定式结构表目的,指加入小组的初衷是提升学习和互相帮助。故填In order to。41.当你遇到学习问题时,你应该先尽力自己解决它们。根据“When you have learning problems, you should try your best to solve them”和备选词汇可知,此处需表示“亲自、靠自己”,yourselves符合语境,指代第二人称复数you,指遇到问题先尝试自行解决。故填yourselves。42.此外,好朋友应该尽可能经常地互相交流,以维持牢固的友谊。根据“talk with each other”和“to keep their friendship strong”以及备选词汇可知,此处需表示“尽可能经常地”,as often as possible符合语境,指通过频繁沟通来维系友谊。故填as often as possible。43.事实上,互相照顾能给我们带来安全感,让我们的校园生活更温暖、更快乐。根据 “caring for each other can bring us”和备选词汇可知,此处需表示“一种安全感”,a sense of safety符合语境,指互相照顾带来的情感体验。故填a sense of safety。44.paying 45.meaningful 46.to make 47.a 48.Finally 49.excited 50.mistakes 51.For 52.spelling 53.when本文先介绍了DIY的含义及意义,随后以母亲生日为契机,详细叙述了自己亲手制作生日贺卡的具体步骤、过程中的小失误,最后表达了对母亲收到贺卡的期待,体现了DIY的价值和对母亲的心意。44.你可以自己动手做东西,而不是花钱请别人来做。空格前的“instead of”是介词短语,后接动词时需用动名词形式,因此这里应用pay的动名词形式paying。故填paying。45.我认为这是非常有意义的。空格前有程度副词“very”,且句子为主系表结构,需用形容词作表语,应用名词meaning的形容词形式meaningful“有意义的”。故填meaningful。46.妈妈的生日快到了,所以我决定亲自给她做一张贺卡。此处考查固定搭配decide to do sth.“决定做某事”,因此这里应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to make。47.一开始,我剪出了一张卡纸。此处考查固定短语a piece of“一张/一片/一块……”,用于修饰可数名词单数“card”,表示“一张卡纸”,应用不定冠词a。故填a。48.最后,我在上面画了一些玫瑰花,并把它们涂成了红色。空格处用于修饰整个句子,需用副词;“final”是形容词,其副词形式为finally“最后”,且句首单词首字母需大写。故填Finally。49.在制作过程中,我太兴奋了,以至于犯了一些错误。句子为主系表结构,主语是人(I),应用“excite”的形容词形式excited“感到兴奋的”作表语。故填excited。50.在制作过程中,我太兴奋了,以至于犯了一些错误。空格前有some,后接可数名词时需用复数形式,这里应用mistake的复数形式mistakes“错误”。故填mistakes。51.例如,我总是把单词拼错。此处考查固定短语for example“例如”,用于举例说明前文的“mistakes”,且句首单词首字母需大写。故填For。52.例如,我总是把单词拼错。此处考查固定搭配keep doing sth.“持续/一直做某事”,因此,这里应用动名词作宾语,“spell”的动名词为spelling。故填spelling。53.我确信当我在她生日那天把贺卡送给她时,她一定会喜欢的。根据“I give it to her on her birthday”可知是当她生日那天送给她,空格处需填连词when引导时间状语从句。故填when。54.Kind and friendly. 55.By growing thick plants. 56.Worked as a team.本文主要讲述了小妖怪Xiaoyao和朋友们成功保护家园的故事,展现了友谊和团队合作的力量。54.根据“Unlike other scary monsters, Xiaoyao was kind and friendly.”可知,与其他可怕的妖怪不同,Xiaoyao善良友好。故填Kind and friendly.55.根据“Huahua used her power to grow thick plants that caught the evil man.”可知,Huahua用她的能力长出茂密的植物,抓住了那个邪恶的人。故填By growing thick plants.56.根据“The three friends worked as a team.

Sometimes they mean something different.Raining a lot isn’t a good thing, but there is good news about rain: “Save for a rainy day” means people are working hard for a future plan. And “as right as rain” means that someone is as healthy as usual. So when your friend says, “I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain”, you know he is OK.However, the expressions about the cloud don’t sound so good. If a person only wants to do something great but never starts with small things, we may say, “He has his head in the clouds.” And if someone worked out a problem and felt very excited, we may say he is “on cloud nine”.On hot days, wind makes you feel cool and comfortable. But the expression “know which way the wind blows (吹)” suggests that a man won’t tell his idea about something till he knows it well.11.If a man feels as right as rain, what does that mean A.He feels very excited. B.He wants to do something great.C.He is as healthy as usual. D.He works hard for a future plan.12.If a man knows which way the wind blows, which of the following best describes him A.Polite. B.Lovely. C.Modern. D.Careful.13.What is the text (短文) mainly about A.News about rain and snow. B.Ways of checking the weather.C.Different meanings of the word “wind”. D.English expressions about weather.BDo you know mosquitoes (蚊子) They live almost all over the world. The number of mosquitoes isn’t high if a city has many cold days and nights. But if the city has a lot of rain and the weather is warm, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Well, when the weather gets about 32℃, they will become less active. When the air is dry and windy, it is also hard for them to live.Even the Arctic (北极地区) has a large number of mosquitoes. During summer, the temperature of some places there can be over 30℃. It is comfortable for mosquitoes to live there. Also, mosquitoes have few enemies (敌人) in the Arctic. They can grow bigger than those in other places.However, there is a country free of mosquitoes. That is Iceland. The weather there is quite hard for mosquitoes to live. Usually, the adult mosquitoes lay eggs (产卵) in water or near it. If the weather is hot enough, the baby mosquitoes will become adult mosquitoes soon. However, the eggs of mosquitoes can’t grow up because the weather is cool even in summer in Iceland and changes a lot.14.What can we learn about mosquitoes from Paragraph 1 A.Their favourite weather. B.Their favourite food.C.Their natural enemies. D.Their different sizes.15.Which question is answered in Paragraph 2 A.What’s the weather like in the Arctic B.Why do mosquitoes live well in the Arctic C.What animals are the enemies of mosquitoes D.How can mosquitoes’ eggs stay alive in the Arctic 16.Why can’t mosquitoes live in Iceland A.Because people in Iceland kill baby mosquitoes.B.Because it’s impossible for mosquitoes to lay eggs.C.Because their eggs can’t live in such weather there.D.Because it’s hard for mosquitoes to spend the winter there.17.In which part of an English magazine can we find the passage A.Art. B.History. C.Culture. D.Science.CMaybe you have seen scenes in movies where a pilot has a problem during the flight and you hear them shout “Mayday, mayday, mayday”.But what does “mayday” mean “Mayday” is an internationally known distress call (求救信号), mostly used by pilots and boat captains (船长). The signal can be sent out on any channel by radio communication.This emergency call first came about in the 1920s. At that time , the standard (标准的) call for help was “SOS” and was typically used by navy captains. The message was sent in Morse code by telegraph. In Morse code, “SOS” is three dots (点), three dashes (线) and three dots. The signal was very clear. However, aircraft pilots use radio calls, so saying the letters “SOS” could be misheard as other letters, such as “F”.Frederick Stanley Mockford, a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, was asked to think of a word that would mean you need help. Because of the number of flights that flew between Croydon and Paris, he chose mayday, as it sounds similar to the French word “m’aider”, which means “help me”. In a bad situation, pilots are required to repeat the signal three times to make sure that it is heard clearly by the other person. If the pilots don’t get a reply in two minutes, they should repeat it. Once they receive a reply, more information, including the flight name, their situation and the number of people on the flight, should be reported. Sometimes pilots are told to go to a nearby airport or location where they can make an emergency landing. While mayday signals mean a very serious situation, they do not always end in fatalities (死亡).Although there are dangers, air travel is still the safest means of getting around.18.When can people hear a pilot shout “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday” A.When a pilot wants to land.B.When a pilot answers a call.C.When a pilot has a problem.19.Which is “SOS” in Morse code A.···- - - ··· B.······- - - C.- - -···- - -20.What’s the best title of the passage A.Mayday Is a Special Day to Remember.B.Sending a Signal While in Danger.C.An Exciting Example of Air Travel.21.In what part of a magazine would you probably read this passage A.School. B.Food. C.Science.DBelieve it or not, there are friendships among animals. A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions. You may wonder if all the animals’ friendships are sincere (真诚的). Well, the answer is yes. A new study shows that the friendships among water buffaloes are truly sincere.A team of scientists from the City University of Hong Kong studied water buffaloes on Lantau Island. This island has a large area of grasslands and wetlands. There are about 120-150 water buffaloes living there. The scientists put cameras (摄像机) at different places of the island to closely watch how the water buffaloes acted.Later, the scientists found that the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes. They don’t care about the power of other buffaloes or depend on (依靠) stronger friends to protect themselves.The study also shows there are several character types among the buffaloes. Some are careful and often watch out for the conditions (环境) around them, some are shy and try to stay away from others, while others are active and like to play around.
