【23题详解】
句意：在两块区域之间有一个小门。cage 笼子；hole洞；window窗户；door门。根据下句话Alex was the only giraffe that could fit through it.可知，只有Alex能通过它，这里的it指的就是这个题目的答案，故A是不对的。B选项和C选项对于长颈鹿来说都太小了，不大可能；D选项“门”比较合理，在动物园的两个区域之间有个门，因此应选D。

【点睛】这篇短文给我们讲述了长颈鹿Alex的故事，他的脖子比其他长颈鹿的都要更短，他一开始很担心。但他的父母说他是特别的，最后真的是，很多游客都来动物园看这只特别的长颈鹿。文章是故事类的短文，文意比较容易理解。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体情境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强，学生们既需具备好的阅读理解、推理判断的能力，也需要对词汇的用法比较熟悉。完型填空这一题型是在具体语境中考查词汇的用法，选项中的词汇常常词性相同，在句中的作用一样，我们需要把他们放在文章中，联系上下文选择最合适的。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意；然后逐空做题，先易后难，注意上下文的语境提示和空前后的固定搭配；最后应再读一遍短文，检查答案。例如第2小题，选项中是四个形容词，联系上下文的意思his neck was much shorter than the others’. …But his mother told him that he was special. She said it did not matter how short or long his neck was.可知，Alex的脖子比其他长颈鹿的更短，下文说他的妈妈安慰他，说他很特别。由此我们可以推测出Alex的感受，他很担心，故应选D。再如第10小题，选项中都是副词，根据下句话They looked happy to see something so special at the zoo可知，游客们在动物园里看到了很特别的东西，他们很开心，所以四个选项中只有A与happy意思相近，这里应该是“兴奋地尖叫”，故选A。

C
Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions (蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people
came from Europe.They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.
Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.
Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green.
When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close
up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen (花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal (花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away.
Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over.
New dandelions grow where the seeds land.
31. The underlined word “weeds” means .
A. pretty flowers B. fresh vegetables C. wild plants D. green trees
32. When is the best time to pick dandelion leaves to eat?
A. After their flowers come out. B. After their flowers turn white.
C. Before their flowers come out. D. Before their flowers close up.
33. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Dandelions B. Dandelions: Flowers or Food
C. The Use of Dandelions D. How to Grow Dandelions
【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【分析】
这篇短文给我们介绍的是一种植物—蒲公英，包括蒲公英的历史、人们对它的利用、它的花以及种子的形成和传播。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据这个单词所在的句子Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens.可知，人们不想在他们的花园里种植蒲公英，因为他们认为蒲公英是weeds，由此我们可以推断，人们觉得蒲公英是不好的，因此这个词的意思不是美丽的花、新鲜的蔬菜或绿色的树，它的意思是“野草”，故应选C。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文中And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good.可知，蒲公英的叶子必须在开花之前采摘，否则味道就不好了。由此可知应选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们介绍了蒲公英这种植物，第一段主要是蒲公英的历史；第二段讲述了人们如何使用蒲公英；第三段讲述的这种植物的生命力顽强以及它的种子是如何形成和传播的。因此A和C两个选项都太片面，概括不了整篇文章的内容；D选项根本在文章中没有提到。故应选B，“蒲公英—花还是食物？”，这个题目体现了文章的关键词Dandelions，比较全面。
【点睛】这是一篇科普说明文，给我们介绍了蒲公英这种植物。文章的主题非常明确，每一段的大意也比较清楚，整体比较容易理解。后面的题目设置有词义猜测题、细节理解题和主旨大意题，题型比较丰富，考查较为全面。第1小题是一个词义猜测题，往往要求我们猜测一个生词的意思，因此我们必须从文章的上下文中寻找线索作答，把这个词放回到原文中。因此根据这个词所在的句子Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens.我们得到了这样一个信息，大多数人呢不想在花园里种植蒲公英，可见他们对蒲公英是有偏见的，所以这个单词不会是美丽的花、新鲜的蔬菜或是绿色的树，所以应该选C，野生的植物，野草。
D
Do you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alcxandra was seven ycars old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When
Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an
important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of
painting was all her own.
Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was
only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
34. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
35. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .
A. shc learned to paint from Picasso B. her style of painting was like Picasso’s
C. she was one of Picasso’s big fans D. her style of painting was unusual
36. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B. Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
37. According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra?
A. Polite. B. Generous. C. Patient. D. Creative.
【答案】34. C 35. B 36. A 37. D
【解析】
【分析】
这篇短文给我们讲述了一个天才画家Alexandra Nechita，她从两岁就开始画画，八岁的时候她就举办了个人画展，变得出名，她的作品可以卖到几千美元，她的画画风格很像毕加索。现在她是一个全职画家。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文第一段中From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.可知，Alexandra在两岁的时候就开始画画。由此可知应选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文中Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. …People called her “Little Picasso”.可知，Alexandra的画画风格在某种程度上很像著名画家毕加索的，他们都不用写实的风格，而是使用他们的想象力，因此人们把Alexandra称为“小毕加索”。故应选B。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。划线的这句话She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.本意为：她只是无法想象做其他任何能给她来到如此快乐和满足的事情。有这句话我们可以知道，Alexandra只有在画画中才能获得快乐和满足，故应选A。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据文意可知，Alexandra从两岁就开始画画，八岁就举办了个人画展，而且尽管她根本就没有见过毕加索的画，他们的画画风格却非常像，对于这样的一个人，我们应用creative来形容，意思是“富有创造力的，有创造性的”，故D选项合适。Polite 礼貌的；Generous慷慨的，大方的；Patient耐心的。这几个形容词不符合Alexandra。
【点睛】这是一篇记叙文，给我们讲述了一个天才的画家Alexandra，她从两岁就开始画画，八岁就举办了个人画展，她的绘画风格与像毕加索这样的著名艺术家相似。这篇记人为主的文章，主题明确，叙事清晰，比较容易理解。后面的题目涉及了细节理解和推理判断题，细节题考查我们对材料中某一具体事实和细节进行正确的理解，这类题型比较简单，我们只需根据题干所问，定位到原文，找到相关信息即可作答。如第1小题，题目问的是Alexandra什么时候开始画画，注意文章中began drawing这一关键词，在短文第一段中就可以找到答案。推理判断题往往也是基于文章事实来进行推理或者判断，如第4小题，这个题目要求我们用一个词来形容Alexandra，结合文章大意可知，Alexandra两岁就开始画画，而且画画的风格与毕加索相似，在画画时需要发挥想象力，在给出的四个单词中creative是最合适的，它的意思是“有创造性的，富有创造力的”。

【解析】
【38题详解】
句意：快点！苏州博物馆只有几步远了。step步，步骤，是一个名词。根据句意和空前的a few“几个，一些”可知，这里应填名词的复数形式，即steps。
【39题详解】
句意：有这么好的一个老师他们是多么幸运啊！这是一个感叹句，主语和动词是they are…，因此这里应填形容词形式，在句中作表语。lucky幸运的，形容词。
【40题详解】
句意：Sigmund Friend先生习惯了处理各种各样的问题。deal和空后的with组成短语，意思是“处理”。这句话使用的句型是be used to doing sth.习惯了做某事，因此这里应填动名词形式dealing。
【41题详解】
句意：如果你想要获得成功，自信是一个重要的条件。condition条件， 是一个名词。空前有 不定冠词a修饰，故这里直接填单数。
【42题详解】
句意：很久以前，人们广泛地认为火星上有生命。根据句子结构可知，这里填的词是来修饰谓语动词believed，故应用副词形式。widely广泛地，副词。
【43题详解】
句意：在她所有的努力下，孩子们最后接受她作为家庭里的一名成员。accept接受，是一个动词。根据句意和句中的finally可知，这里说的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时态，故这里填过去式accepted。
【44题详解】
句意：当跟英国人聊天的时候，我们应该避免像年龄、体重、钱这样的话题。avoid避免，是一个动词。空前should是情态动词，意为“应该”，后面跟动词原形，故这里填avoid。
【45题详解】
句意：-我可以在这个房间里再放一张床吗？-当然了，它足够大可以再放一张床。根据句意可知，这里填enough“足够”，是一个副词，修饰形容词big，放在形容词后面。
【46题详解】
句意：-这是你的英语书吗？-不，不是。我的在书包里。根据句意和句子结构可知，这个空是句子的主语，指的是“我的英语书”，因此应填名词性的物主代词mine，“我的”，代指my English book，my是形容词性物主代词，后面需要修饰名词。故应填Mine。
【47题详解】
句意：-Lucy，让你的头发远离火。-我明白，妈妈。头发很容易着火。这里是一个固定短语catch fire着火。根据对话的意思可知，这里用的都是一般现在时态，主语Hair是不可数名词，故谓语动词用单数，填catches。
【点睛】这个题型是单词拼写，考查单词在具体语境中的使用。做题时，应先根据句意和所给单词的汉语意思确定应填写的单词，并根据单词在句中的作用、句中使用的句型等，变化单词的正确形式。例如第3小题，考查了deal with这个固定短语，意思是“处理”，所以这里应填单词deal；句中使用了句型be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事，因此这里要用ing形式，填dealing。再如第7小题，考查了动词avoid“避免”，空前的should是情态动词，所以这里用动词原形。第8、9、10三个小题，没有给出汉语意思，我们只能根据句意去判断填词，如第9小题，根据对话的意思可知，空上指的是“我的英语书”，又在句中作主语，因此应用名词性的物主代词Mine。
第五部分句子翻译
将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
48. 这个暑假你打算做什么？
49. 我已经决定读一些书并游览一些名胜古迹。
50. 养成一个良好的阅读习惯对我们来说很重要。
51. 旅游被认为是放松的最好方式之一。
52. 阅读和旅游能给我们打开一个全新的世界。
【答案】48. What are you going to do this summer holiday?
49. I have decided to read some books and visit some places of interest.
50. It’s very important for us to develop a good reading habit
51. Travelling is considered to be one of the best ways to relax
52. Reading and travelling can open up a whole new world to us
【解析】
【48题详解】
这是一个特殊疑问句，先确定疑问词是what；根据句意应用一般将来时态，be going to 结构，表示“打算做…”，主语是you，be动词应用are；时间状语this summer holiday最好放在句末。故应是：What are you going to do this summer holiday?
【49题详解】
根据句意可知，这句话应用现在完成时态have done，主语是I；谓语动词是decide，决定，常用于句型decide to do sth.决定去做某事；后面的宾语有两个，read some books和visit some places of interest。故应是：I have decided to read some books and visit some places of interest.
【50题详解】
这句话应使用句型It is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.，“对于某人来说做某事是…的”，句型中It是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。important重要的，形容词；develop发展，培养；reading habit阅读习惯。我们根据这个句型，将单词和短语一一代入即可，故应该是：It is very important for us to develop a good reading habit.
【51题详解】
根据句意可知，这句话的主语traveling和动词consider构成被动关系，所以这句话应注意使用被动语态be+过去分词，一般现在时态；consider sth. to be…是固定句型，“认为…是…”；one of the +形容词最高级+名词复数，“最…的之一”；to relax是动词不定式，作后置定语，修饰way。连起来应该是：Traveling is considered to be one of the best ways to relax.
【52题详解】
这句话的主语是Reading and traveling，是两个并列的动名词形式作主语；open up是固定短语，“打开”；a whole new world一个全新的世界，whole是形容词，完整的，完全的，修饰world。故应为：Reading and traveling can open up a whole new world for us.
【点睛】这个题目是汉译英，考查英语句子的表达能力，有一定的难度。做题时，应注意不要逐词将汉语变成英语，应从句子的整体考虑，使用什么结构、哪个句式、什么时态等，先确定句子的主干结构，即主谓宾或者主系表，然后再添加其他修饰成分。例如第2小题，我们先根据句意确定这句话应用现在完成时态；然后主语为I，谓语动词是decide，它常用于句型decide to do sth.决定去做某事，所以我们应用这一句型来翻译后面的东西；读书这个短语很简单是read some books；另一个短语是visit some places of interest，注意名词的复数形式，两个短语中间用and连接。因此连起来应该是：I have decided to read some books and visit some places of interest.
