三、阅读单选（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
A
Now students spend their weekends in many different ways, but things were quite different fifty years ago.
In the past, students usually spent weekends helping their parents on the farm or doing housework at home. Most families had two or three children, so older kids often looked after their younger brothers or sisters while parents worked long hours. Weekend homework was easy and not much, so students had a lot of free time. Some helped feed chickens, water plants, or clean the house. During free time, they might climb hills, fly kites made of paper, or play games like hide-and-seek with friends. They seldom went far from home because buses were expensive, and fun activities were mostly at home or in the neighborhood.
Things are very different now. With better life conditions (状况) , students don’t need to do heavy housework. Many join weekend clubs like drawing, singing, or sports. Parents often take them to museums, zoos, or parks. Buses and trains make it easy to travel to nearby cities — students can go there in the morning and come back in the afternoon. Computers also change weekends: some watch educational videos, others talk with friends online or play easy games.
Though weekends are busier, they have more chances (机会) to try new things and learn outside school, which is quite different from the quiet weekends in the past.
31．What did students usually do on weekends fifty years ago
A．They joined sports clubs. B．They helped with farm work.
C．They traveled to big cities. D．They played computer games.
32．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Weekend life in the past.
B．Why students do housework today.
C．The importance of weekend clubs.
D．How students spend weekends now.
33．How do students travel to nearby cities now
A．On foot. B．By bike. C．By bus or train. D．By ship.
34．What is the main reason for the changes in the text
A．Less homework. B．Better life conditions.
C．Smaller families. D．New school rules.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Ways to Plan a Good Weekend
B．Parents and Children’s Weekends
C．Fun Weekend Games Then and Now
D．Changes in Students’ Weekend Activities

①As Daddy’s only daughter, I knew what made my daddy more wonderful than all the other fathers-his large hands.
②Daddy had long deft (灵活的) fingers that could make lots of paper toys for me to play with. His hands could tie my hair beautifully. That was why I felt happy when the other students talked about my hairstyle. I kept it to myself for years. His hands could paint a second-hand bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday.
③Daddy’s creative hands were also useful and hard-working. They could fly a kite high in the sky and get it down from the top of a tree.

④Not only were Daddy’s hands great, they could also send me a note full of love. When I was ill, he made me feel better. He would take a small blanket (毯子), warm it up and cover it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. When I was worried about something, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and talk with me. He would say, “The best is always to come, my dear.” to console (安慰) me.

参考答案及试题解析
1．B
【解析】句意：——我找不到我的剪刀了。请问我可以借你的吗？——当然。给你。
describe描述；borrow借；kick踢；ride骑。根据“I can’t find my scissors.”可知找不到剪刀，结合答语“Sure. Here you are.”表示同意给予，推测出是想借对方的剪刀。borrow符合语境。
2．C
【解析】句意：我姐姐的头发比我的（头发）长。
me我（宾格）；you你（主格/宾格）；mine我的（名词性物主代词）；your你的（形容词性物主代词）。根据“than”可知，比较的对象是“我姐姐的头发”与“我的头发”，空处应填名词性物主代词指代hair，相当于my hair。故选C。
3．B
【解析】句意：除了周末，我们每天都有课，所以我们可以在那两天放松。
for为了；except除……之外；from从……；during在……期间。根据后半句“so we can relax on those two days”可知，周末是用来休息的，说明周末没有课，因此此处表示“除了周末之外”，except符合语境。
4．B
【解析】句意：我问我的妈妈她的童年生活是什么样子的。
how如何；what什么；that那；which哪一个。根据“________ life was like”可知，询问“是什么样子的”，常用固定句型“What be...like ”，此处引导宾语从句应用what。
5．B
【解析】句意：互联网使交流比以往任何时候都更容易。
标志短语 than ever before（有史以来、至今为止）是现在完成时的典型提示词，强调动作从过去开始，持续到现在并造成当下的结果。应填has made。
6．B
【解析】句意：尽管那时生活更艰苦，但人们说他们更快乐。
more更；much许多/非常；very非常；most最。根据“Although life was harder then, people say they were... happier.”，前半句出现harder，句子暗含前后对比，生活条件更差，但内心快乐程度更高，应填much修饰happier。
7．C
【解析】句意：我的祖母说她过去习惯用煤炉做饭。
used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。根据空后为“cooking”，此处应用短语be used to doing sth.，“in the past”提示句子应用一般过去时，应填was used to。
8．B
【解析】句意：在过去，信件通过邮递寄送；现在我们即时发送电子邮件。
根据时间状语“In the past”可知，句子时态为一般过去时；主语letters与动词send之间是被动关系，且letters为复数，be动词应用were。
9．B
【解析】句意：这座城市发展得太快了，我几乎认不出曾经是我学校的地方。
where哪里；what什么/所……的事物；which哪一个；that无实义。recognize后接宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，what既能引导从句又能作主语，符合语境。
10．B
【解析】句意：乡村的污染比大城市的污染少。
it它；that那；those那些；one一个。根据“There is less pollution in the countryside than... in big cities.”可知，此处比较的是乡村的污染和大城市的污染，属于同类不同物。pollution是不可数名词，且后面有介词短语in big cities修饰，应用that代替。
11．C
【解析】句意：她记得小时候住在这所老房子里。
live居住；lived居住（过去式）；living居住（动名词）；to live居住（不定式）。remember doing sth.意为“记得做过某事”，指动作已发生。根据时间状语“as a child”可知是回忆过去的经历，应用动名词形式。
12．B
【解析】句意：当我小的时候，我们只在周末看电视。
watch观看（一般现在时）；watched观看（一般过去时）；have watched已经观看（现在完成时）；had watched已经观看（过去完成时）。根据“When I was little”可知句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。
13．B
【解析】句意：虽然我爸爸过去读报纸，但他现在在网上看新闻。
根据“in the past”，从句描述过去的习惯或状态，应用一般过去时，read过去式为read，应填read。
14．A
【解析】句意：过去，人们花更多的时间在户外，因为他们拥有的电子设备较少。
because因为；although虽然；so所以；but但是。根据句意可知，“拥有的电子设备较少”是“花更多时间在户外”的原因，前后句构成因果关系，应用because引导原因状语从句。
15．C
【解析】句意：自20世纪90年代以来，中国的城市已经发生了迅速的变化。
根据“Since the 1990s”，自从20世纪90年代以来，是现在完成时的标志，表示动作从过去持续到现在，应填have changed。
16．A 17．C 18．D 19．C 20．B 21．B 22．A 23．B 24．D 25．D 26．D 27．B 28．D 29．C 30．A
【导语】本文讲述Tan太太儿子Tom中文成绩不好，经由老师的沟通和帮助，最终考试时充满自信并取得进步，大家为他感到骄傲的事情。
【解析】16．句意：这是一次重要的考试，他们不知道会有什么结果。
根据“nervous”和“important exam”可知，what to expect“期待什么；会发生什么”，贴合父母面对重要考试时的忐忑心态。
17．句意：然而，Tom对该科目没有表现出任何兴趣。
根据“he didn’t put much effort into the lesson”可知，Tom对该科目缺乏兴趣；interest“兴趣”，符合句意。
18．句意：他认为中文课对他根本没用。
根据“he didn’t put much effort into the lesson”可知，他不付出努力是因为他认为这门课程没有用处；useful“有用的”，符合句意。
19．句意：一天中文课后，他的老师跟Tan太太谈话。
根据“She was worried that he might not pass his Chinese exam...”并结合校园学习的场景，了解学生学习情况，想和家长沟通的人是老师，其余选项身份不符。
20．句意：她担心如果Tom继续这样，可能无法通过考试。
根据“being like this”可知，continue doing sth.“持续做某事”，强调Tom延续懈怠的学习状态，符合语境。
21．句意：Tan太太不知道情况为何变得如此糟糕。
根据“find out the reasons”可知，Tan太太不知道Tom学习状态差的原因。
22．句意：为了找出原因，她决定就此和Tom谈一谈。
根据下文“talked to him”可知，此处指Tan太太决定和Tom谈话；have a talk with sb.“和某人谈话”。
23．句意：他们想知道为什么他的态度如此糟糕。
根据“So he didn’t put much effort into the lesson.”可知，Tom对中文课不努力，可见他态度不端正，bad“不好的”，符合语境。
24．句意：他们设法不责备他，而是温和地跟他谈话。
根据“not to scold”可知，父母亲切温和地和他谈话，angrily和strictly不符合情感色彩，wisely“明智地”语义不符，排除。
25．句意：他说老师讲课的速度对他来说太快了。
空处指代Tom，且在介词for后作宾语，选填宾格him。
26．句意：Tan太太随后建议他去跟一直关心他的语文老师谈谈，并就如何赶上进度寻求建议。
“advice on sth”表示“关于某事的建议”，固定搭配。
27．句意：经过和老师的倾心沟通后，情况得到了改善。
根据后文“improved a lot”可知，谈话后情况好转了，improved“改善；提升”符合句意。
28．句意：Tom的老师很乐意帮助，而且鼓励他有问题随时提问。
根据“happy to help him”可知，老师的态度是很积极的，因此鼓励Tom随时提问题符合老师的行为，encourage“鼓励”符合句意；allowed“允许”语气较弱，forced“强迫”与前文表意矛盾。
29．句意：当他的成绩公布时，他非常兴奋因为中文进步了很多。
根据“results”可知，此处指公布成绩；came out“出来；公布”符合句意，其余选项语义不符。
30．句意：他的父母和老师都为他感到骄傲。
be proud of sb“为某人感到骄傲”，契合Tom经过努力成绩提高的语境，其余选项情感不符。
31．B 32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D
【导语】本文对比了50年前学生周末多帮家里干农活/家务、活动范围小的朴素生活，和如今生活条件改善后学生周末可参加各类俱乐部、外出游玩、借助网络娱乐，有更多校外学习尝试新事物机会的巨大变化。
【解析】31．第二段明确提到“In the past, students usually spent weekends helping their parents on the farm or doing housework at home”，说明五十年前学生周末通常帮父母干农活或者在家做家务。
32．第三段首句“Things are very different now.”引出本段主题，随后列举了参加俱乐部、出游、使用电脑等现在的活动方式，整段都在介绍当下学生的周末安排。
33．第三段提到“Buses and trains make it easy to travel to nearby cities”，说明公交和火车让去邻近城市旅行变得很容易，即现在学生乘公共汽车或火车去附近城市。
34．第三段提到“With better life conditions, students don’t need to do heavy housework”及下文描述的变化，说明生活条件的改善是变化的主要原因。
35．文章通篇对比了五十年前和现在学生周末活动的差异，D选项“学生周末活动的变化”最能概括全文。
36．B 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D
【导语】本文回忆了作者父亲那双灵巧、勤劳、充满爱意的手给她带来的温暖与感动。
【解析】36．第二段指出：“His hands could paint a second-hand bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday.”，说明十岁生日得到了自行车。
37．第三段指出：“they could fly a kite high in the sky and get it down from the top of a tree...They could wash my white dress clean...the hands fed seven children after Mom died”，原文提及父亲的手可以放风筝（A项）、洗衣服（B项）、从树上取风筝（D项），同时说明母亲去世后，父亲一双手独自抚养七个孩子，C项“与母亲一起抚养孩子”与原文矛盾，因此C项错误。
38．第二段指出：“Daddy had long deft fingers that could make lots of paper toys for me to play with.”，说明父亲制作纸玩具。
39．文章结构为：第一段总起，引出主题“父亲的大手”；第二至四段分别叙述父亲双手做过的事（分述）；第五段总结全文，升华情感，符合“总—分—总”结构。
40．全文围绕父亲的手带给作者的温暖和感动展开：第二段父亲用灵巧的手制作纸玩具、扎辫子、油漆自行车；第三段父亲用勤劳的手放风筝、洗衣服、抚养七个孩子；第四段父亲用充满爱意的手送便条、暖脚、安慰作者。因此文章主要讲“父亲的手所做的点点滴滴深深触动了作者的心”。
41．C 42．A 43．A 44．C 45．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了格林夫人因周末加班被困电梯，恰逢英国银行假期无人上班，最终被困约62小时的经历。
【解析】41．第一段指出“Mrs. Green worked in an office in London, the UK”，直接说明格林夫人在伦敦的一家办公室工作。
42．第二段提到“After she finished her work, she took the lift down. But the lift stopped between floors. Mrs. Green could not get out of the lift”，说明上周六格林夫人被困在了电梯里。
43．第二段提到“Then Mrs. Green remembered that Monday was a bank holiday in England. No one was going to work until Tuesday!”，说明同事周一不上班是因为当天是英国的银行假日。
44．第三段提到“With nothing to eat or drink, Mrs. Green ended up sleeping for most of the time”，说明格林夫人在电梯里没有食物和水，因此选项C“Mrs. Green had something to eat and drink in the lift”的表述错误。
45．第四段提到“She was in the lift for about sixty-two hours!”，直接说明格林夫人被困电梯约62小时。
46．more effective
【解析】句意：如今的通信比过去高效得多。所给的词effect为名词，意为“效果”。此处作系动词is后的表语，需要用形容词effective；句中有比较级标志than，much修饰形容词比较级，effective的比较级是more effective。
47．dramatically
【解析】句意：在过去的30年里，这个城市的生活发生了巨大的变化。dramatic“巨大的”，形容词，空处修饰动词changed，用副词形式dramatically。
48．historical
【解析】句意：政府已努力保护历史区域。提示词history是名词，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词areas，history要变为形容词形式，表示“历史的”，应填historical。
49．convenience
【解析】句意：技术给我们的日常生活带来了极大的便利。convenient“方便的”，形容词，空前形容词great修饰，用名词形式convenience“便利”，不可数名词。
50．traditional
【解析】句意：人们过去依赖像自行车这样的传统交通工具。修饰名词“transport”，需用形容词作定语。“tradition”的形容词形式为“traditional”，意为“传统的”。
51．
education
【解析】句意：良好的教育能够改变一个人的未来。括号中文“教育”对应名词education，是不可数名词，作句子主语，故填education。
52．
imagine
【解析】句意：你能想象没有蜜蜂的生活吗？句中Can是情态动词，情态动词后必须跟动词原形，括号内中文“想象”对应的单词为imagine，故填imagine。
53．
except
【解析】句意：所有的植物都需要阳光，除了蘑菇，因为它们生长在暗处。中文提示词是“除了”，besides是累加式的“除了……之外还有”，不符合本句逻辑。except表示从整体里排除例外对象，符合句意。故填except。
54．record
【解析】句意：我和我的同桌记录我们的日常学习，以此来互相鼓励。“记录”对应的英文动词是“record”，此处主语“My deskmate and I”为复数，句子描述经常性的动作，时态用一般现在时，谓语动词用原形，故填record。
55．foreign
【解析】句意：莉莉热衷于学习外国的语言。根据“languages”可知，此处使用形容词修饰名词，foreign“外国的”，形容词作定语。故填foreign。
56．developed
【解析】原句中“发展”为关键词，表示“发展”的英文动词是develop；主句谓语动词“were closed”是一般过去时，根据时态一致原则，as引导的时间状语从句也应使用一般过去时，动词develop的过去式直接加-ed，即developed。
57．even though
【解析】原句中“即便”是关键词，表示“即便；尽管”的短语是“even though”。本句为一般过去时，主句“Firefighters bravely rushed into the burning building”与从句“they knew they might lose their lives”之间为让步关系。故填even；though。

71．范文：
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your letter. I’m glad to hear that you are interested in the changes in China.
My hometown, a small city in Jiangsu Province, used to be a quiet place with narrow streets and old houses. People used to ride bicycles or walk to work because there were no cars or highways. In the past, living conditions were quite simple, and many families shared one bathroom. But nowadays, everything has changed dramatically. Modern buildings have taken the place of old houses, and wide highways connect our city to other places. Most families own cars and live in comfortable apartments with modern bathrooms. Education has also improved a lot — my school has a new library and computer rooms.
Although I enjoy the convenience of modern life, I still miss the peaceful atmosphere of the old days. What about your hometown Has it changed a lot Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
