Half a year ago, Lacey Scott was shopping for supplies at a local pet store in Kansas City, Missouri. When she was in that location, a bored face of a little goldfish attracted her attention, and she didn’t stop staring at it the entire time she was there.
Lying at the bottom of a dark fish tank, the sad fish didn’t appear to have much of a wish to survive. Lacey learned from a store clerk that the fish was ten years old and had spent a long time in that depressing tank.
“I couldn’t take my mind off him. I couldn’t bear the thought of a fish who had wasted so much of its life and would end up dying in a pet store,” Lacey said.
Lacey approached the store owner and asked if she could take the small fish home with her.
What no one realized was that the small fish’s best days were still to come: all it needed was a second chance.
Lacey returned home and built a pond out of various materials for the fish she named “Monstro”. She changed his water every day to keep it clean and fresh, and fed him with only the fish food. Monstro, on the other hand, did not appear to be enjoying his new living environment, not even moving to have his meal.
Despite this, Lacey did not give up on him and continued to provide him with specialized care. “I found him swimming for small amounts of time after a month,” Lacey said. “And it was at that point that I realized things began to change.”
Monstro’s body began to change as well. The gray scales (鱼鳞) that made him seem unwell began to change colors. His small body began to shine, showing that his condition had improved greatly.
Lacey put Monstro into a much larger tank once he had fully recovered, where he continues to live in the greatest possible way.
24. Why did the goldfish at the pet store catch Lacey Scott’s attention
A. He was a rare type of goldfish.
B. He looked sad and was tired of life.
C. He looked energetic, colorful and lovely.
D. He was so old that he could hardly move.
25. How was the fish when he just arrived at Lacey’s home
A. He tried to jump out of the pond.
B. He adapted to his new life very quickly.

D. He appeared to be dead and floated on the surface.

A. The fish began to swim in the pond.
B. The fish started to eat a lot of food.
C. The fish’s scales began to change colors.
D. The fish came to the surface to breathe.
27. What is the text mainly about

It's just past 7 a.m.on a February morning in Maya Bay, several weeks after authorities reopened what is one of Thailand's most popular tourist attractions to the world for the first time since June 2018 following a massive restoration program.
In the hours to follow, a slow but steady flow of tourists becomes in great numbers as dozens of tourists make their way to the white﹣sand beach, phones at the ready as they take photos. Swimming is not allowed, though visitors can take a few steps in. It's disappointing, but a huge improvement over what visitors once experienced here.
Maya Bay is located in a Thailand's national park.The destination was made famous by the 2000 film The Beach，starring Leonardo DiCaprio.As the film's popularity grew，so did tourists' desire to visit the location where much of it was shot —Maya Bay.
"Around 40 years ago, Maya Bay was already a tourism destination, but mainly for Thai tourists because you didn't have speedboats at that time, " says Thon, a marine biologist and professor who requested authorities to close the bay four years ago. Over the years, the number of tourists rose from less than 1, 000 to as many as 7, 000 or 8, 000 visitors a day at its peak. On average, around 5, 000 people entered the bay each day.
In 2018 the Thai government closed the bay and began to restore the damaged ecosystem.
Since then, Thon and a team of fellow marine experts and volunteers have replanted over 30, 000 pieces of coral, much of it grown off the coast of a nearby island. Meanwhile, the wildlife also returned and has been growing. "Only three months after we closed the bay, the blacktip sharks came back and gave birth…so there are a lot of things happening in Maya Bay."
28. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us about Maya Bay
A. Its business hours.
B. Its massive restoration
C. Its huge improvement.
D. Its reopening.
29. What does the underlined "it" refer to in the third paragraph？

C. Leonardo DiCaprio.
D. A Thailand's national park.
30. The numbers in paragraph 4 are introduced mainly to show

I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.
32. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about
A. How the author started offering rides.
B. The value of the author’s actions.
C. An old lady who impressed the author.
D. An accident that happened 40 years ago.
33. What does the author like most about her ride offers
A. Helping people who contribute to society.
B. People accepting her offer without hesitation.
C. Chatting with her passengers.
D. Making friends with her passengers.
34. What does the author plan to do
A. Become a taxi driver after retirement.
B. Continue driving people to their destinations.
C. Wait to be offered a ride at a bus stop.
D. Share her stories with more people.
35. What message does the author want to convey
A. Elderly people need more care and support.
B. It is important to find a purpose in life.
C. Offering rides to strangers involves risks.
D. Always believe in the goodness in people.

Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
____36____ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth’s surface, it’s called lava (熔岩).

Tomatoes: The Real Magical Fruit
“Fresh tomato plants! Straight out of the ground! 50 cents each!” I shouted in the school hall. In my hands, I carried a shoebox with little tomato plants. Their homes were plastic bottles, without the top half. Most people ignored my product, but some handed me 50 cents and picked out a 2-week-old baby tomato plant.
About a month before this, I started gardening. I pulled up grass in my little garden for several days in a row. Satisfied with my work, I continued to the second step — begging my dad to take me to the supermarket. He agreed!
When my dad turned off the engine and opened the door, I practically skipped inside the supermarket. We headed straight for the garden center. I picked up planters, seeds and dirt. My dad helped and showed me the best dirt and tomato plant types to get. We got to the register, and my dad, knowing what would happen, helped me pay.
As soon as I got home, I began to plant them in my garden. The following days witnessed my visits to the garden and my parents were amazed by my devotion to my new-found love.
Then was the part where I met my problem — I planted too many tomato seeds. I realized this all too late, about 10 days later when they all started sprouting (发芽) up and I counted 45 tomato plants. A few days went by and then I ended up with 85 tomato plants.
I did what all high schoolers would do when they messed up — I asked people around. I even got a notebook to write down their suggestions. Sadly, I got the same answer from most people, “Just let them die.” WHAT ! Let my beautiful plants die They had so much potential! They could make 20 — 30 tomatoes per plant! We were talking about the possibility of around 2,550 tomatoes!

As the film's popularity grew，so did tourists' desire to visit the location where much of it was shot —Maya Bay.”（2000年，莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥主演的电影《海滩》让这个地方名声大噪。随着这部电影越来越受欢迎，游客们也越来越想参观它的拍摄地——玛雅湾。）由此可知，it指代的是2000年的电影《海滩》。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Over the years, the number of tourists rose from less than 1, 000 to as many as 7, 000 or 8, 000 visitors a day at its peak. On average, around 5, 000 people entered the bay each day.”（多年来，游客人数从每天不到1000人增加到每天多达7000或8000人。平均每天约有5000人进入海湾。）可推知，第4段中的数字主要是为了展示游客的快速增长。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since then, Thon and a team of fellow marine experts and volunteers have replanted over 30, 000 pieces of coral, much of it grown off the coast of a nearby island. Meanwhile, the wildlife also returned and has been growing. "Only three months after we closed the bay, the blacktip sharks came back and gave birth…so there are a lot of things happening in Maya Bay."”（从那时起，Thon和一个由海洋专家和志愿者组成的团队重新种植了3万多块珊瑚，其中大部分生长在附近岛屿的海岸附近。与此同时，野生动物也回来了，并且一直在增长。“就在我们关闭海湾三个月后，黑鳍鲨又回来产仔了……所以玛雅湾发生了很多事情。”）可推知，从文章中我们了解到，保护玛雅湾的努力是有效的。故选D项。
D
I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
____36____ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth’s surface, it’s called lava (熔岩).
Some volcanic eruptions are explosive. Lava shoots into the sky. Gas and hot pieces of rock and ash are also released. The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness. ____37____
Volcanic eruptions can cause other natural disasters. These include landslides, mudslides, earthquakes and tsunamis. Volcanoes can be destructive. ____38____ The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.
____39____ Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.
In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced. ____40____ Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.
Volcanoes may be unpredictable. However, as we learn more about how they work, they will become even more important to life on the earth.
A. However, they can also create new land.
B. Volcanoes can become more dangerous.
C. A volcanic eruption works much the same way.
D. Scientists are using volcanoes to help power cities.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对火山的形成、喷发强度的决定因素、火山的危害和好处等进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.”(拿瓶苏打水，用力摇晃。气体会在里面形成，造成压力的积聚。把盖子拧下来。压力会从瓶子里释放出来，苏打水会喷得到处都是。)可知，选项A中的the same way就是指指苏打水从瓶子里喷出来的方式，根据后文“Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force.”(当气体在岩浆中形成时，压力在火山内部积聚(岩浆), 它是地球表面下的热液体岩石。火山中的气泡需要逸出。当火山喷发时，岩浆会被巨大的力量推上火山口。)可知，火山爆发的方式和前文中提到的相同。所以选项C“火山爆发的作用方式大致相同。”切合文意。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据前文“The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness.”(喷发的强度取决于几个因素。一是岩浆的温度。另一个是岩浆的厚度。)可知，此处是讲决定喷发的强度的几个因素，并且前文中已经出现两个，所以选项E“被困在里面的气体量也是一个重要因素。”是讲第三个因素，切合文意。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据后文“The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.”(夏威夷群岛是由大型低洼火山喷发形成的，这些火山是由坚硬的熔岩层组成的。)可知，此处是讲火山喷发也会创造新的土地，对应选项A中的“they can also create new land”(它们还可以创造新的土地)，又和前文“Volcanoes can be destructive.”(火山具有破坏性。)构成转折关系，对应选项A中的转折词however。所以选项A切合文意。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.”(火山灰为土壤添加了有益的矿物质。这有助于植物茁壮成长。健康的植物产生氧气供人和动物呼吸。火山也会带走地球内部的热量, 有助于保持地球凉爽。)可知，此处是讲火山对地球起到了重要作用，所以选项G“火山在塑造地球方面起了重要作用。”切合文意。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.”(他们的措施包括利用地表下的热量发电。)和前文“In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced.”(近年来，火山的一个新的好处浮出水面。)可知，此处是指利用火山发电，所以选项D“科学家们正在利用火山为城市供电。”切合文意。故选D。

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述肖邦创作的音乐之一——第15前奏曲《雨滴》。
【56题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他为钢琴创作了二十四首名为前奏曲的短曲。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有twenty-four修饰，名词用复数形式。故填pieces。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最长的一首，第15前奏曲，更为人所知的是它的昵称，“雨滴”前奏曲。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词know和句子主语The longest one是逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词形式，表示被动，作表语。故填known。
【58题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：在等待Sand的时候，他写了第15前奏曲。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去正在进行的动作，谓语用过去进行时，主语是he，be动词用was。故填was waiting。
【59题详解】
考查代词。句意：当Sand回来后，肖邦给她演奏了那首音乐。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要代词宾格，作宾语。故填her。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她让肖邦倾听雨点从屋顶上落下的声音。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词fall是被修饰的名词raindrops主动发出的动作，用现在分词形式，表示主动，作补语。故填falling。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这使肖邦很不高兴。分析句子结构和下文意思可知，肖邦认为他的音乐是自创的，不是模仿的雨滴的声音，所以Sand的做法让他很不高兴，unhappy做宾语补足语。故填unhappy。
【62题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：他坚持说，他从来没有注意过这些声音，也没有模仿过它们。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，谓语用一般过去时。故填copied。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：这首曲子开始时很轻柔，但声音越来越大，就像雨下得越来越大一样。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词，修饰谓语动词starts。故填softly。
【64题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：见第8题详解。分析句子结构和上文的louder可知，这里指随着音乐开始，声音变得越来越大，就像雨下得越来越大一样，所以用比较级。故填heavier。
【65题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：然后音乐变得安静，最后结束，就像雨停了一样。根据“ the music gets quiet ”可知，谓语用一般现在时，主语是the music，谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填ends。

My Fist Try
When it comes to the topic of “My First Try”, I’ll never forget the meaningful experience I had in this summer.
It was my first time to be a volunteer. As a member of Animal Helpers, I volunteered to be responsible for washing, feeding and playing with homeless dogs. At the same time, I took some photos of them and made posters online to call on more people to give a hand. Through my efforts, over eight dogs were lucky to find their new homes. When I saw them taken good care of and they brought the people much fun, I got such a strong feeling of pride and achievement.
I realize that each life is important and the tiny things I do can make a difference.

Tomatoes: The Real Magical Fruit
“Fresh tomato plants! Straight out of the ground! 50 cents each!” I shouted in the school hall. In my hands, I carried a shoebox with little tomato plants. Their homes were plastic bottles, without the top half. Most people ignored my product, but some handed me 50 cents and picked out a 2-week-old baby tomato plant.
About a month before this, I started gardening. I pulled up grass in my little garden for several days in a row. Satisfied with my work, I continued to the second step — begging my dad to take me to the supermarket. He agreed!
When my dad turned off the engine and opened the door, I practically skipped inside the supermarket. We headed straight for the garden center. I picked up planters, seeds and dirt. My dad helped and showed me the best dirt and tomato plant types to get. We got to the register, and my dad, knowing what would happen, helped me pay.
As soon as I got home, I began to plant them in my garden. The following days witnessed my visits to the garden and my parents were amazed by my devotion to my new-found love.
Then was the part where I met my problem — I planted too many tomato seeds. I realized this all too late, about 10 days later when they all started sprouting (发芽) up and I counted 45 tomato plants. A few days went by and then I ended up with 85 tomato plants.
I did what all high schoolers would do when they messed up — I asked people around. I even got a notebook to write down their suggestions. Sadly, I got the same answer from most people, “Just let them die.” WHAT ! Let my beautiful plants die They had so much potential! They could make 20 — 30 tomatoes per plant! We were talking about the possibility of around 2,550 tomatoes!

The result was better than I had thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
So I decided to solve it in my way. I separated plants, collected water bottles and spent hours making labels. At this stage, these plants had become like my children. I understood why people referred to themselves as plant parents, as they devoted time and effort into a tiny life form. I had such a deep affection for those plants that I couldn’t wait to give them new homes. My aim was to offer them at an affordable price and ensure a modest profit, so I decided on 50 cents per plant.
The result was better than I had thought. I even managed to generate a decent profit from it. I owed much to my parents — my mom shared the art of marketing the product, while my dad taught me how to attract potential customers. Better still, I found my passion for gardening and running a small business. As of now, I am planning for this year’s tomato plant business, eagerly anticipating the exciting tomato adventure that awaits. That’s why tomatoes have become the magical fruit in my life.

【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了大约一个月之前，作者开始爱上园艺，并准备了花盆、种子和泥土。之后作者在花园里种下了番茄种子，并精心照料它们。但由于没有经验，作者种了太多的番茄种子，一共长出了85株植株。作者向周围人求助，寻找处理这些植株的办法，大家都让作者放弃它们，但是作者不忍心放弃自己的劳动成果。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“于是，我决定用自己的方法来解决它”可知，第一段可描写作者想出的解决问题的具体方法。
②由第二段首句内容“结果要比我想的要好”可知，第二段可描写作者处理这些番茄植株的最终结果，以及从这次经历中获得的感悟。
2. 续写线索：决定自己解决——解决方法——结果比预期好——最终结果——感悟
