Childhood is all about the slow expansion of your world, from birth when you are quite clearly the centre of the universe, through the great shock of realising, when you are about three, that you are not actually kings and queens, that there is a whole world beyond the kitchen table and the bedtime story. It’s entirely up to you to let your children know that, while they may be blessed with a loving home, a warm bed, plenty to eat, many people are not.
My oldest son, Sam, is six now and a lovely boy, thoughtful and concerned about the world, kind to his brothers and in love with nature, insects and animals. I get nervous at the fact that it is my responsibility to make him aware of the dark side of life — war, starvation, environmental disasters — part of me wants to preserve his innocence, but most of me thinks he needs to know and I should be the one to tell him.
We’ve talked a little bit, about climate change, but I find it hard to be really honest with him. I sat down with him recently, to read something that Green Books sent to me, called How to Turn Your Parents Green. I thought a light-hearted book might be an easy way to talk to him about what he’s going to have to deal with.
I asked him if he knew about climate change and he said no and then yes. I asked him if he knew what was causing it and he said: “It’s because there are more and more cars on the roads. Maybe too many planes too. Maybe trains as well, but only a little bit.” He likes trains.
I said it was because we had too many lights on too — he jumped up and turned off the light straight away.
“What do you think it means ” I asked him. “I don’t know. Is the world getting hotter What will happen ” he asked. “Well, some people’s homes may get covered in water, and other people may not have enough food,” I said. “There might be some big storms and hurricanes.”
He was quiet and thoughtful, and I couldn’t bear to push it any further. We did some colouring instead. But later that afternoon, he came back to me and put his hand in my back pocket. “I didn’t like that book, Mum. It made me feel really worried,” he said.
I still feel upset thinking about it now.
4 What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Slow development of a child’s intelligence.
B. Better understanding of the things around a child.
C. Natural response to what happens around a child.
D. Gradual process of a child knowing more about the world.
5. How does the author feel before telling her son about the dark side of life
A. Very sorry. B. Quite pleased. C. A little hesitant. D. Quite confident.
6. Why did Sam jump up and turn off the light
A. He hated to talk about lights. B. His mother told him to do so.
C. Lights would cause climate change. D. He wanted to save electricity for trains.
7. Why did the author do some colouring with her son
A. To make him less upset. B. To take a short break with him.
C. To give him some time to think. D. To develop his interest in colouring.
C
The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive(积极的) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
8. How could music make students smarter
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.
C. By making them brave, knowledgeable and modest.
D. By learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean
A. Unwilling to turn on. B. Always looking for.
C. Unwilling to leave. D. Always playing.
10 What’s the main idea of the third paragraph
A. Music brings children success. B. Music gives children self-expression.
C. Music helps children achieve their dream. D. Music develops children’s self-confidence.
11. What’s the best title of the text
A. Music Is a Must as a Course at School B. Music Builds Children’s Self-confidence
C. Music Makes Students Much Smarter D. Learning Music Is Very Important
D
To solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.
Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.
“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. ”
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.
Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.
12. What do the new robots mainly do
A. To collect tiny bits of plastic in the sea B. To push the pollution in water away
C. To help do research into the plastic D. To deal with the plastic in water
13. How do the new robots get powered
A. By stars B. By plastic C. By sunlight D. By living cells
14. Why did Pumera take part in the project
A. Because of public attention to the plastic
B. Because of the challenges from the plastic
C. Because he was asked to do so by other scientists
D. Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots
15. What is the best title of the article
A. Small robots, big dreams B. No plastic in water anymore!
C. Robots, winners against plastic D. The fight between robots and plastic

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 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
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. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent 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. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
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 them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at 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.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.

Childhood is all about the slow expansion of your world, from birth when you are quite clearly the centre of the universe, through the great shock of realising, when you are about three, that you are not actually kings and queens, that there is a whole world beyond the kitchen table and the bedtime story. It’s entirely up to you to let your children know that, while they may be blessed with a loving home, a warm bed, plenty to eat, many people are not.
My oldest son, Sam, is six now and a lovely boy, thoughtful and concerned about the world, kind to his brothers and in love with nature, insects and animals. I get nervous at the fact that it is my responsibility to make him aware of the dark side of life — war, starvation, environmental disasters — part of me wants to preserve his innocence, but most of me thinks he needs to know and I should be the one to tell him.
We’ve talked a little bit, about climate change, but I find it hard to be really honest with him. I sat down with him recently, to read something that Green Books sent to me, called How to Turn Your Parents Green. I thought a light-hearted book might be an easy way to talk to him about what he’s going to have to deal with.
I asked him if he knew about climate change and he said no and then yes. I asked him if he knew what was causing it and he said: “It’s because there are more and more cars on the roads. Maybe too many planes too. Maybe trains as well, but only a little bit.” He likes trains.
I said it was because we had too many lights on too — he jumped up and turned off the light straight away.
“What do you think it means ” I asked him. “I don’t know. Is the world getting hotter What will happen ” he asked. “Well, some people’s homes may get covered in water, and other people may not have enough food,” I said. “There might be some big storms and hurricanes.”
He was quiet and thoughtful, and I couldn’t bear to push it any further. We did some colouring instead. But later that afternoon, he came back to me and put his hand in my back pocket. “I didn’t like that book, Mum. It made me feel really worried,” he said.
I still feel upset thinking about it now.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Slow development of a child’s intelligence.
B. Better understanding of the things around a child.

D. Gradual process of a child knowing more about the world.
5. How does the author feel before telling her son about the dark side of life
A. Very sorry. B. Quite pleased. C. A little hesitant. D. Quite confident.
6. Why did Sam jump up and turn off the light
A. He hated to talk about lights. B. His mother told him to do so.
C. Lights would cause climate change. D. He wanted to save electricity for trains.
7. Why did the author do some colouring with her son

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive(积极的) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
8. How could music make students smarter
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.
C. By making them brave, knowledgeable and modest.
D. By learning music making music and trying out their own ideas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean
A. Unwilling to turn on. B. Always looking for.
C. Unwilling to leave. D. Always playing.
10. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph

To solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.
Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.
“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. ”
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.
Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.
12. What do the new robots mainly do
A. To collect tiny bits of plastic in the sea B. To push the pollution in water away
C. To help do research into the plastic D. To deal with the plastic in water
13. How do the new robots get powered
A. By stars B. By plastic C. By sunlight D. By living cells
14. Why did Pumera take part in the project
A. Because of public attention to the plastic
B. Because of the challenges from the plastic
C. Because he was asked to do so by other scientists
D. Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots
15. What is the best title of the article
A. Small robots, big dreams B. No plastic in water anymore!
C. Robots, winners against plastic D. The fight between robots and plastic
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

第四节 翻译句子(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)
56. 如果你的朋友忽略你的感受或让你受折磨，那么是时候重新考虑你们的关系了。(汉译英)
【答案】If your friend ignores your feelings or makes you suffer, then it’s time to rethink your relationship.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句，时态，固定句型和主谓一致。“如果你的朋友忽略你的感受或让你受折磨”用if引导条件状语从句，用一般现在时表将来，“你的朋友”是your friend，“忽略”是ignore，主语friend是单数，因此ignore用第三人称单数，“你的感受”是your feelings，“或让你受折磨”是or make you suffer，make用第三人称单数；“是时候做某事了”是 it’s time to do sth.，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，“重新考虑你们的关系”是rethink your relationship，结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为If your friend ignores your feelings or makes you suffer, then it’s time to rethink your relationship.
57. 那些试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的青少年正在打一场无望取胜的仗。(汉译英)
【答案】Teenagers who try to emulate the images of their favorite stars are fighting a battle they can’t win.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句，固定短语，时态和主谓一致。“青少年”是teenager，要用复数，“那些试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的”用who引导的定语从句，陈述经常性习惯性的动作，时态用一般现在时，“试图模仿”是try to emulate，“他们最喜爱的明星形象”是the images of their favorite stars，“正在打一场无望取胜的仗”时态用现在进行时，“打一场无望取胜的仗”是fight a battle they can’t win，主语teenagers是复数，其后be动词用are，因此整句话翻译为“Teenagers who try to emulate the images of their favorite stars are fighting a battle they can’t win”。故答案为Teenagers who try to emulate the images of their favorite stars are fighting a battle they can’t win。
58. 从现在开始，我会更注重我的健康而不是体重。(汉译英)
【答案】From now on, I will pay more attention to my health than my weight.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和比较级。“从现在开始”是固定短语from now on，“我会更注重我的健康而不是体重”用一般将来时，“注重”是pay attention to，“我的健康”是my health，“更……而不是”是more...than，“体重”是my weight，因此整句话翻译为“From now on, I will pay more attention to my health than my weight”。故答案为From now on, I will pay more attention to my health than my weight。
59. 大城市的噪声污染和光污染也可能导致睡眠问题。(汉译英)
【答案】Noise and light pollution in big cities can also cause sleep problems.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词，动词和情态动词。“噪声污染和光污染”是noise and light pollution，“大城市的”是in big cities，介词短语作后置定语；“也可能”是can also，“导致睡眠问题”是cause sleep problems。故答案为Noise and light pollution in big cities can also cause sleep problems.
60. 这会占用我的一部分空闲时间，但是这段友谊值得我付出额外的时间和努力。(汉译英)
【答案】It will take up some of my free time, but this friendship is worth my extra time and effort.

第二节 片段写作(满分10分)
62. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给两段段落开头语，续写第一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
注意：只需续写第一段，词数为100左右；注意一二两段的衔接。
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 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
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. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent 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. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
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 them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at 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.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.
【答案】
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. He said, “I spelled contribution with ’s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. To his surprise, Mr. White held up Peter’s testpaper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, adding that Peter taught us all a lesson on being honest.
【解析】
