A
Aguolieha, a 13-year-old girl living in a mountain village in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (凉山彝族自治州) now could go to big cities and even go abroad to take part in basketball games.
There are some other children like Aguolieha. Their change can be attributed to (归因于) this area’s strong basketball tradition and especially to their basketball coach Waeramu (Amu).
Coach Amu fell in love with the sport when he was a little boy. So he chose to study physical education at university. After graduation, he once worked in a city like his classmates. But he soon realized that it wasn’t his dream. He took a risk and moved back home to teach local kids how to play basketball professionally (专业地).
However, it wasn’t easy. With hard work, Amu successfully made the locals believe that leaving the mountain wasn’t the only way out. And the number of team members was slowly increasing. He now works as a full-time coach and acts as a bridge between the village and the outside world for the kids. Since black hawks (鹰) are the symbol of the Yi people, he named the team the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are a team of the children of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Their love for basketball brought them joy and also gave them another option. They can still leave the mountain if they want to, not for their livelihood (生计), but to meet other kids in the games. Aguolieha wants to become a basketball coach like Amu when she grows up, to help the next generation (代) of kids shine.
11. What’s the purpose of the writer by describing (描述) Aguolieha at the beginning
A. To show how poor the village life is.
B. To draw people’s attention to her homeland.
C. To introduce the importance of basketball games.
D. To lead in her basketball coach—Amu and tell his story.
12. Why did the basketball coach—Amu name the team the Blackhawks
A. Because he has no choice to name it.
B. Because black hawks are his favorite animal.
C. Because black hawks (鹰) are the symbol of the Yi people.
D. Because the basketball team all like the story about black hawks.
13. Which word has the closest meaning to “option” in the last paragraph
A. 选择 B. 进步 C. 想法 D. 帮助
14. What is the best title for the passage
A. A country girl’s basketball dream
B. A village with a strong basketball tradition
C. A basketball coach helps “blackhawks” fly in the sky
D. A new way helps children find what they want to do most
【答案】11. D12. C13. A14. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了来自凉山彝族自治州的阿木是一位篮球教练。他大学毕业后回到了家乡并组建了凉山黑鹰篮球队。在他的帮助下，凉山的孩子们像黑鹰一样“飞”出了一片新天地。
【11题】
推理判断题。通读前两段可知，本文以阿果列哈为例，讲述了阿木教练改变了这群来自山村的孩子们的生活，让他们可以去大城市甚至去国外参加篮球比赛。由此推知提到阿果列哈是为了引出她的教练阿木，并介绍他的故事。故选D。
【12题】
细节理解题。根据“Since black hawks (鹰) are the symbol of the Yi people, he named the team the Blackhawks.”可知，因为黑鹰是彝族的象征，所以他将球队命名为黑鹰队。故选C。
【13题】
词句猜测题。根据“They can still leave the mountain if they want to, not for their livelihood (生计), but to meet other kids in the games.”可知，如果孩子们愿意，他们可以离开大山，而不是为了生计，而是为了在比赛中认识其他孩子。由此可知，此处指给他们另一个选择，故推测“option”意为“选择”。故选A。
【14题】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了在凉山彝族自治州，一位篮球教练组建了一支黑鹰篮球队，带领一群孩子学习篮球的故事。故C选项“一位篮球教练帮助‘黑鹰’翱翔天空”最适合作本文标题。故选C。

C
New research studying 20 years of ocean information has found that our oceans have changed the color. This also means a great change in the ecosystems (生态系统) of the oceans that is likely caused by human activities.
For tens of years, satellites (卫星) have been watching the color of Earth’s oceans and collecting information on the color of light reflecting (反射) off the water. Especially one of the satellites, the Aqua satellite has recently completed 20 years of collecting high-quality global ocean-color information. A new study has examined this information and found changes in ocean color over the past 20 years that cannot be explained by natural, year-to-year variability (可变性) alone.
“I’ve been running models to study the ocean color. The models have been telling me for years that these changes in ocean color are going to happen,” said Stephanie Dutkiewicz, one of the study’s writers. “To actually see it happening for real is not surprising. But I am scared that these changes are probably caused by human’s activities.”
The ocean’s color shows the life that lives in the water. Generally, deep blue water has very little life. However, greener water means there are ecosystems, mainly plankton (浮游生物). Without plankton, many oceanic food webs would break down. This will greatly impact the sea life and humans who depend on fish for food.
“The color of our oceans has changed,” said Dutkiewicz. “And we can’t say how. But we can say that changes in color show changes in plankton communities. Plankton communities are the foundation (基础) of everything that feeds on plankton. So, we hope people take this seriously.”
Next up, Dutkiewicz will try to better understand the color changes in different ocean areas, as well as looking into what might be causing them.
18. What does the underlined word “This” mean in Paragraph 1
A. New research studying 20 years of ocean information.
B. Our oceans have changed the color.
C. That is likely caused by human activities.
D. The advantages of the study.
19. How did Dutkiewicz feel about the changes in the color of oceans according to the third paragraph
A. Disappointed. B. Scared. C. Surprised. D. Interested.
20. By which the underlined word “impact” can be replaced in Paragraph 4
A. 杀死 B. 污染 C. 影响 D. 毁坏
21. What may Dutkiewicz continue to study according to the last paragraph
A. The ecosystems in different ocean areas. B. The results of changes in ocean color.
C. The reasons for changes in ocean color. D. The different plankton in the big oceans.
【答案】18. B19. B20. C21. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了海洋的颜色发生了很大的变化，这对海洋生物和人类有害，科学家们号召人们要保护海洋。
【18题】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“New research studying 20 years of ocean information has found that our oceans have changed the color. This also means a great change in the ecosystems (生态系统) of the oceans that is likely caused by human activities.”可知，研究发现，我们的海洋已经改变了颜色，这也意味着人类活动可能导致海洋生态系统发生巨大变化。由此可知，This指代上文提到的“our oceans have changed the color”。故选B。
【19题】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But I am scared that these changes are probably caused by human’s activities.”可知，Dutkiewicz担心这些变化可能是由人类活动引起的。故选B。
【20题】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“ Without plankton, many oceanic food webs would break down. This will greatly impact the sea life and humans who depend on fish for food.”可知，没有浮游生物，许多海洋食物网将会崩溃，这将极大地影响海洋生物和以鱼为食的人类。由此猜测，impact意为“影响”。故选C。
【21题】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Next up, Dutkiewicz will try to better understand the color changes in different ocean areas, as well as looking into what might be causing them.”可知，接下来，Dutkiewicz将试图更好地理解不同海洋区域的颜色变化，以及研究什么可能导致这些变化。由此推知，Dutkiewicz可能会继续研究海洋颜色变化的原因。故选C。
D
William Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer in the English language and the greatest playwright to have ever lived. Born on the 26th of April, 1564, his complete works include 39 plays and 154 sonnets (十四行诗). His plays have been performed more than those of any playwright.
Shakespeare was born to a successful glove maker in England. He was the eldest son and studied at King’s New School. The school focused heavily on teaching grammar through the Latin classic texts. This helped Shakespeare develop his abilities.
Shakespeare produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613. He was a part-owner of a theatrical group who would perform his plays. They were called Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Eventually, they were recognized by the King and changed their name to the King’s Men. Shakespeare used this success to build one theatre and then buy an existing one. It was 1603 and Shakespeare was slowly becoming famous.
His early plays are comedies with mystical elements (元素). For example, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a clever and funny mixture of romance, fairy magic, and comic lowlife scenes. By the mid-1600s, he began writing and producing tragedies. A tragedy (悲剧) is a play that is based on human suffering but leaves a sense of pleasure in the audience (观众). This is considered Shakespeare at his peak. In his final years, Shakespeare wrote comedies without elements of romance and tragedy. Two of the most famous of these were Cymbeline and The Winter's Tale.
Shakespeare had a great difference on theatre, literature, and music. His play Romeo and Juliet showed that romance was a worthy topic for a tragedy-themed play. Various phrases we use today were first said by Shakespeare. In fact, the person who was most quoted (引用) in the world’s first dictionary was Shakespeare, which made a huge difference.
22When was Shakespeare slowly becoming famous
A. After 1564. B. After 1589. C. After 1603. D. After 1613.
23. What can you learn from Paragraph 4
A. His final plays are all comedies with mystical elements.
B. Tragedies by Shakespeare were made by the 1600.
C. A Midsummer Night’s Dream has mystical elements.
DThe Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s early plays.
24. What difference did Shakespeare make on the world according to the last paragraph
A. English language. B. Dictionary writing.
C. Romantic characters in the plays. D. Mystical elements.
25. What is the passage mainly about
A. Great plays written by Shakespeare. B. Shakespeare’s writing experience.
C. Shakespeare’s life and influence. D. Shakespeare’s sonnets.
【答案】22. C23. C24. A25. C
【解析】

根据句意和首字母或汉语提示，将单词的正确形式完整地写在答题卡相应的位置上。
31. Don’t believe w________ he says, he often tells lies and must change his bad habit.
【答案】(w)hatever
【解析】
句意：不要相信他所说的一切，他经常说谎，必须改变他的坏习惯。分析句子可知，横线上缺的是says的宾语，由于后文“he often tells lies”，所以是不要相信他说的任何事。由于首字母w，所以是whatever“无论什么”。故填(w)hatever。

句意：然而，有一件事让我无法尽情享受——我的恐高症。结合所给单词I和空前的enjoying可知，本题考查短语enjoy oneself“尽情享受，玩得愉快”，所以空格处应填I的反身代词myself。故填myself。
【38题】
句意：我的朋友们决定攀登海滩上的一块大岩石，当他们准备攀登时，我感到我的心因恐惧而下沉。分析“...they were ready to climb, I felt my heart sink (下沉) with fear”可知，此处表示当他们准备攀登时，空格处表示“当……的时候”，应用when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
【39题】
句意：岩石很高，一想到要攀登，我就觉得双膝发软。根据上文“my fear of heights”可知，作者恐高，所以此处表示作者一想到要攀岩就双膝发软。名词knee意为“膝盖”，根据both可知，空格处应填knee的复数形式knees。故填knees。
【40题】
句意：起初，我试图找借口逃避攀登。结合所给单词one和空前的At可知，本题考查短语at first“起初”。故填first。
【41题】
句意：我的朋友们看穿了我的借口，鼓励我试一试。have a try意为“试一试”。故填try。
【42题】
句意：于是，我深吸一口气，迈着颤抖的双腿开始攀爬。take a deep breath意为“深吸一口气”。故填a。
【43题】
句意：当我最终到达顶峰时，我充满了成就感。be filled with意为“充满”。故填filled。
【44题】
句意：我意识到有时候，我们最害怕的事情实际上可能会让我们变得更加强大。“make sb.+形容词”意为“使某人……”，所以空格处应填形容词，much常和形容词比较级连用，表示“……得多”，结合所给单词可知，空格处应填形容词strong“强大的”的比较级stronger。故填stronger。
【45题】
句意：从那一刻起，我知道我已经克服了恐高症。结合所给单词high和上文“my fear of heights”可知，空格处应填heights与上文呼应。故填heights。

分析“It is said...they were expensive and mostly used by artists.”可知，本句应使用句型“It is said that...”，意为“据说……”，故①为that；根据空后的“red, blue, yellow, green, violet, orange, brown, and black”可知，此处列举了八种颜色，所以空格处应填基数词eight“八”；分析“A few years...they made an even bigger box to hold 64 crayons and added a sharpener.”可知，此处表示几年后，他们做了一个更大的盒子来装64支蜡笔，并增加了一个卷笔刀，所以③填later“以后”。故填that；eight；later。
【50题】
It weighed 1,500 pounds“它重1500磅”；and“并且”（这句话用and连接了两个并列谓语，根据汉语的习惯，and可以不用翻译出来）；was 15 feet long“长15英尺”。故填：它重1500磅，长15英尺！

Aguolieha, a 13-year-old girl living in a mountain village in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (凉山彝族自治州) now could go to big cities and even go abroad to take part in basketball games.
There are some other children like Aguolieha. Their change can be attributed to (归因于) this area’s strong basketball tradition and especially to their basketball coach Waeramu (Amu).
Coach Amu fell in love with the sport when he was a little boy. So he chose to study physical education at university. After graduation, he once worked in a city like his classmates. But he soon realized that it wasn’t his dream. He took a risk and moved back home to teach local kids how to play basketball professionally (专业地).
However it wasn’t easy. With hard work, Amu successfully made the locals believe that leaving the mountain wasn’t the only way out. And the number of team members was slowly increasing. He now works as a full-time coach and acts as a bridge between the village and the outside world for the kids. Since black hawks (鹰) are the symbol of the Yi people, he named the team the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are a team of the children of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Their love for basketball brought them joy and also gave them another option. They can still leave the mountain if they want to, not for their livelihood (生计), but to meet other kids in the games.

Here we introduce three Chinese films that have won praise (称赞) in 2023.
Chang’an The film mainly develops around the extraordinary lives of the great poets Li Bai and Gao Shi, showing their deep friendship. It also breathes life into other famous people from that time and includes well-known poems that can often be seen in today’s textbooks. Except that, the film shows the beauty of many ancient cities.
Never Say Never The film is adapted (改编) from real-life events. Its director, Mr. Wang, wants to help a group of poor children from small villages. He started to prepare the film in 2017. Describing the film as “a story of finding a way out”, Wang said it not only helped him get out of a difficult situation but also holds great meaning for his own life.
Oh My School! The film is an adaptation of a network animation (动画片) series that ran between 2014 and 2018. This film is set in a junior high school in Changchun, Northeast China. It tells the amusing story of Wang Qiang, a naughty student who unexpectedly exchanges bodies with Shi Miaona, a strict teacher, leading to many funny accidents.

New research studying 20 years of ocean information has found that our oceans have changed the color. This also means a great change in the ecosystems (生态系统) of the oceans that is likely caused by human activities.
For tens of years, satellites (卫星) have been watching the color of Earth’s oceans and collecting information on the color of light reflecting (反射) off the water. Especially one of the satellites, the Aqua satellite has recently completed 20 years of collecting high-quality global ocean-color information. A new study has examined this information and found changes in ocean color over the past 20 years that cannot be explained by natural, year-to-year variability (可变性) alone.
“I’ve been running models to study the ocean color. The models have been telling me for years that these changes in ocean color are going to happen,” said Stephanie Dutkiewicz, one of the study’s writers. “To actually see it happening for real is not surprising. But I am scared that these changes are probably caused by human’s activities.”
The ocean’s color shows the life that lives in the water. Generally, deep blue water has very little life. However, greener water means there are ecosystems, mainly plankton (浮游生物). Without plankton, many oceanic food webs would break down. This will greatly impact the sea life and humans who depend on fish for food.
“The color of our oceans has changed,” said Dutkiewicz. “And we can’t say how. But we can say that changes in color show changes in plankton communities. Plankton communities are the foundation (基础) of everything that feeds on plankton. So, we hope people take this seriously.”
Next up, Dutkiewicz will try to better understand the color changes in different ocean areas, as well as looking into what might be causing them.
18. What does the underlined word “This” mean in Paragraph 1
A. New research studying 20 years of ocean information.
B. Our oceans have changed the color.
C. That is likely caused by human activities.
D. The advantages of the study.
19. How did Dutkiewicz feel about the changes in the color of oceans according to the third paragraph
A. Disappointed. B. Scared. C. Surprised. D. Interested.
20. By which the underlined word “impact” can be replaced in Paragraph 4
A. 杀死 B. 污染 C. 影响 D. 毁坏
21. What may Dutkiewicz continue to study according to the last paragraph
A. The ecosystems in different ocean areas. B. The results of changes in ocean color.
C. The reasons for changes in ocean color. D. The different plankton in the big oceans.
D
William Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer in the English language and the greatest playwright to have ever lived. Born on the 26th of April, 1564, his complete works include 39 plays and 154 sonnets (十四行诗). His plays have been performed more than those of any playwright.
Shakespeare was born to a successful glove maker in England. He was the eldest son and studied at King’s New School. The school focused heavily on teaching grammar through the Latin classic texts. This helped Shakespeare develop his abilities.
Shakespeare produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613. He was a part-owner of a theatrical group who would perform his plays. They were called Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Eventually, they were recognized by the King and changed their name to the King’s Men. Shakespeare used this success to build one theatre and then buy an existing one. It was 1603 and Shakespeare was slowly becoming famous.
His early plays are comedies with mystical elements (元素). For example, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a clever and funny mixture of romance, fairy magic, and comic lowlife scenes. By the mid-1600s, he began writing and producing tragedies. A tragedy (悲剧) is a play that is based on human suffering but leaves a sense of pleasure in the audience (观众). This is considered Shakespeare at his peak. In his final years, Shakespeare wrote comedies without elements of romance and tragedy. Two of the most famous of these were Cymbeline and The Winter's Tale.
Shakespeare had a great difference on theatre, literature, and music. His play Romeo and Juliet showed that romance was a worthy topic for a tragedy-themed play. Various phrases we use today were first said by Shakespeare. In fact, the person who was most quoted (引用) in the world’s first dictionary was Shakespeare, which made a huge difference.
22. When was Shakespeare slowly becoming famous
A. After 1564. B. After 1589. C. After 1603. D. After 1613.
23. What can you learn from Paragraph 4
A. His final plays are all comedies with mystical elements.
B. Tragedies by Shakespeare were made by the 1600.
C. A Midsummer Night’s Dream has mystical elements.
D. The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s early plays.
24. What difference did Shakespeare make on the world according to the last paragraph
A. English language. B. Dictionary writing.
C. Romantic characters in the plays. D. Mystical elements.
25. What is the passage mainly about
A. Great plays written by Shakespeare. B. Shakespeare’s writing experience.
C. Shakespeare’s life and influence. D. Shakespeare’s sonnets.
