句意：那时，收集虫子是那里学生的一项流行活动。
hidden隐藏的；popular受欢迎的，流行的；small小的；challenging有挑战性的。根据“They would spend a lot of time looking for insects and hold competitions”可知，人们会花很多时间寻找虫子，由此推测这个活动很流行。故选B。【12题详解】

strange奇怪的；delicious美味的；expensive昂贵的；unusual不同寻常的。根据下文“he saw a very unusual bug running around.”可知，他们要找的是最不同寻常的虫子。故选D。 【13题详解】
句意：有一次，在寻找虫子时，查尔斯发现了一棵枯树——一个寻找新昆虫的好地方！
Once有一次；Finally最终；Firstly首先；Later后来。根据“while looking for bugs, Charles found a dead tree—a great place to look for new insects”可知，此处讲的是他的一次寻找虫子的经历，所以填“有一次”，其他选项不符合句意，故选A。【14题详解】

the other两者中的另一个；others其他的（人或物）；another再一，另一；the one那一个。根据“He then found...”可知，此处泛指发现了另一只虫子，无范围，所以填another。故选C。

句意：在咳嗽中，他失去了所有三只虫子，不得不重新开始寻找！
killed杀死；hurt伤害；lost失去；caught抓住。根据“had to start looking all over again!”可知，需要重新再找虫子，应是之前的虫子都丢失了，故选C。【19题详解】

There are many idioms or sayings in English that we use when we want to describe relationships between and among friends. Here are a few to practice with your friends.
The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples: John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin.
If two people are “like two peas (豌豆) in a pod”, it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other. I have never seen Lola and Camille argue; they are like two peas in a pod.
Some friends are especially sympathetic and easy to talk to. They are not judgmental or impatient. They are good at sharing our pain, which helps reduce our pain. A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”. We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and this person can bring comfort to us.
“Hit it off” with someone means falling in love with someone quickly or getting along with someone. This usually happens the first time two people are meeting. They often share interests, goals and beliefs. This can happen between friends who like each other at first sight. Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today. Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date, but we are going to try once more.23. Which of the following may be friends through thick and thin?A. Friends who often play games.C. Friends who share a long friendship.
B. Friends who help reduce pain.D. Friends who are easy to deal with.
24. Which of the following idioms describes two similar friends?A. Hit it off.
C A shoulder to cry on.
B. Through thick and thin.D. Like two peas in a pod.
.25. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To introduce some English idioms.C. To teach readers how to learn idioms well.
B. To explain what a good friendship is.D. To offer some examples of English sentences.
【答案】23. C 【解析】

How many times does the chorus (副歌) repeat in your favorite song? Repetition is a feature that music around the world likes to share. So, why does music depend so heavily on repetition?
One part of the answer comes from what psychologists (心理学家) call the mere exposure (纯粹的暴露) effect. In short, people usually prefer things they’ve been exposed to before. For example, a song comes on the radio that we don’t especially like, but then we hear the song at the grocery store, at the movie theater and again on the street corner. Soon, we are tapping to the beat, singing the words, and even downloading it.
Repetition connects each bit of music to the next bit of music that follows it. So when you hear a few notes, you’re already imagining what’s coming next. Your mind is unconsciously (无意识地) singing along. Recent studies have shown that when people hear a part of music repeated, they are more likely (可能的) to move or tap along to it. Repetition invites us into music as imagined participants (参与者), rather than as passive (被动的)
listeners.
Research has also shown that listeners shifts their attention across musical repetitions, paying attention to different parts of the sound on each new listen. You might notice the melody of a phrase the first time, but when it’s repeated, your attention moves to how the guitarist bends a pitch.
Critic (评论家) are often embarrassed (被尴尬的) by music’s repetitiveness, finding it childish, but repetition, far from an embarrassment, is in fact a key feature that gives rise to the kind of experience as concert.26. Which of the following belongs to (属于) the mere exposure effect?A. The more you like a song, the better you will sing it.B. The more you are close to a play, the better you will act it.C. The more you hear a song, the more possible you will buy it.D. The more you listen to a song, the more possibly you will like it.27. How does repetition invite us into music as imagined participants?A. By singing with the song.C. By expecting what’s coming next.
B. By listening to the music passively.D. By imagining what the notes describe.
28. What does the underlined word “shift” probably mean?A. 固定【答案】26. D 【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了音乐的重复性带来熟悉感和预测性，吸引听众参与，让人们无意识地哼唱并关注声音的不同部分，是音乐体验的关键特征。
27. C
B. 转移28. B
C. 夸大
D. 冷却
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In short, people usually prefer things they’ve been exposed to before.”可知，暴露效应指的是人们通常更喜欢他们以前接触过的东西。D选项“你听一首歌的次数越多，你就越有可能喜欢它。”符合，故选D。【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Repetition connects each bit of music to the next bit of music that follows it . So when you hear a few notes, you’re already imagining what’s coming next. Your mind is unconsciously (无意识地) singing along.”可知，重复将每段音乐与随后的下一段音乐联系起来。所以当你听到几个音符时，你已经在想象下一个音符是什么了。你的大脑在无意识地跟着哼唱。故选C。【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“paying attention to different parts of the sound on each new listen”可知，每次重新听时都要
注意声音的不同部分，所以划线单词意思为“转移”，故选B。
C
If I had a cold, I wouldn’t think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, mental (心理的) health is not treated in the same way.
At my primary school, mental health was not discussed even once as far as I can remember. This makes me wonder how many other schools are failing to educate their students on this topic. It makes me sad that children growing up with mental illness may feel like it is something to be ashamed of (对……感到羞耻的) because it is never discussed. When I reached high school, mental health was still seldom discussed. But when it was in the topic of health or biology class, I was given a broad idea that mental illness was a “thing” that really lies.
In my opinion, overstressed high school students could benefit (获益) greatly from more deep discussions about how to deal with mental health problems, such as how to know when you should care about yourself or a friend, or who to reach out for help. I know my friends and I could have (本可以) benefited. Even if you personally have never faced mental health problems, someone you know is sure to have, and you can offer timely help.
I believe we need to normalize (使……正常化) discussions about mental health at an early age, rather than hiding them from sight. At school, I saw a student’s report on mental health education and how it can be carried out in the American school system. The student used the film Inside Out (头脑特工队) to explain feelings to younger kids. This report made me believe that it is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.
Although we can’t change the way people think about mental health over one night, there are still things we can do. Asking our friends how they’re feeling is a good start.
29. What was mental health education like when the writer was in high school?A. It was dealt with in detail.C. It was far from enough.
30. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 3?
A. High school students are under increasing stress these days.B. There is an increased awareness of mental health problems.C. Many students are ashamed of having mental health problems.D. The writer might have had mental health problems in high school.31. What did the writer learn from the student’s report?A. Kids who are healthy outside might be ill inside.B. Mental health discussions can be held with young kids.
B. It was paid no attention to.D. It was considered important.
C. The American school system is open to mental health education.D. Watching educational films can help children with mental illness.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Mental health matters!C. The earlier, the better!【答案】29. C 【解析】

___40___When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be a bad manner. It’s also impolite to tap chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, because in ancient China beggars (乞丐) often did it to attract attention.A. What should we pay attention to when using chopsticks?B.

【导语】本文介绍了母亲节的起源和活动。【41题详解】
句意：一年中有很多特殊的日子，不仅在西方国家，在中国也是如此。根据“not only”可知，考查not only...but (also)...“不仅……而且……”，故填but。【42题详解】
句意：今天庆祝的母亲节始于一位名叫Anna Jarvis的女人。根据“Mother’s Day that...today began with a woman named Anna Jarvis.”可知，此处为定语从句，that指代先行词“Mother’s Day”，与“celebrate”是被动关系，根据“today”可知，从句为一般现在时的被动语态，主语为“Mother’s Day”，所以结构为“is+过去分词”；celebrate的过去分词为celebrated。故填is celebrated。【43题详解】
句意：她给当地政府写了数千封信，并建议将五月的第二个星期日定为母亲节。根据“of letters”可知，此处考查thousands of“数千的”，故填thousands。【44题详解】
句意：她给当地政府写了数千封信，并建议将五月的第二个星期日定为母亲节。根据“the second Sunday in May should be celebrated...Mother’s Day.”可知，此处考查be celebrated as...“作为……被庆祝”，as“作为”符合句意，故填as。【45题详解】
句意：1914年，美国政府终于同意了。根据“agreed”可知，此处填副词finally修饰动词，故填finally。【46题详解】
句意：在母亲节，各个年龄段的孩子都会给母亲不同的礼物。根据“all”可知，此处填名词复数ages。故填ages。【47题详解】
句意：不能在假期与母亲在一起的孩子会寄一张卡片，上面写着爱的信息。根据“Children...can’t be with their mother on the holiday send a card with a message of love.”可知，此处为定语从句，从句缺少主语，且指代先行词“Children”，所以用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。【48题详解】
句意：他们还打电话给母亲，祝她有快乐的一天。根据“They also call their mother on the telephone...her a happy day.”可知，此处表示打电话的目的，表目的用动词不定式，故填to wish。【49题详解】
句意：母亲节是美国一年中电话使用最繁忙的日子之一。根据“one of”可知，考查one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数“……之一”，busy的最高级为busiest。故填the busiest。【50题详解】
句意：在中国，很多人邀请妈妈去看电影或去旅游。根据“go”可知，考查go+动名词“去做某事”，travel的动名词为travelling。故填travelling。
六、根据所给中文完成句子（共6小题；每小题1.5分，满分9分）
51. 三思过后，他们做出了缩短行程的决定。After ________________, they ________________.【答案】 【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“三思”和“做出了缩短行程的决定”的英文表达。think twice“三思”，介词“after”后填动名词thinking；decide to do sth.“做出决定做某事”，该句为一般过去时，填动词过去式decided；cut the trip/journey short“缩短行程”。故填thinking twice；decided to cut the trip/journey short。52. 每当落后时，他们是怎么让自己振作起来的?How did they ________________________?
【答案】cheer themselves up when falling behind (every time)##cheer themselves up each time they fell behind【解析】
【详解】根据汉语提示可知缺少部分是“让自己振作起来”和时间状语“每当落后时”，主语是“they”，因此“让自己振作起来”译为“cheer themselves up”，作谓语部分；“每当落后时”可用“when+现在分词”表达，“落
①. thinking twice
②. decided to cut the trip short##decided to cut the journey short
后”译为“fall behind”，即“when falling behind (every time)”，也可用“each time+从句”表达，根据“did”可知时态为一般过去时，即“each time they fell behind”。故填cheer themselves up when falling behind (every time) /each time they fell behind。
53. 吉姆觉得很有必要再编两个故事。Jim thought ________________________.
【答案】it necessary to make up another two stories/it was necessary to make up another two stories/it necessary to make up two more stories/it was necessary to make up two more stories【解析】
【详解】必要的：necessary；编造：make up；再两个故事：another two stories/two more stories。根据英汉对比可知，此处可以采用think+宾语从句或者think+宾语+宾语补足语；可以用it代替动词不定式作形式宾语或者用it代替动词不定式作形式主语，即：think it+形容词+动词不定式；think it be+形容词+动词不定式。根据主句用一般过去时，所以从句中的be用过去式，故填it necessary to make up another two stories/it was necessary to make up another two stories/it necessary to make up two more stories/it was necessary to make up two more storie。
54. 最终证明，迈克与这次事故无关。
________________ Mike ________________ the accident.【答案】 【解析】
【详解】本题需要表达“结果证明他与这次事故无关”这一语义。分析句子可知，本句的主语是“It”，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用一般过去式，“结果证明”用到的短语是turn out，turn应变为过去式turned；“Mike与这次事故无关”是一个完整的句子，所以可用that引导的句子来作宾语；“与……无关”用到的短语是have nothing to do with，have应变为过去式had。故填It turned out that；had nothing to do with。55. 西蒙宁愿被嘲笑也不愿放弃自己的梦想。Simon ________________________________.
【答案】would rather be laughed at than give up his dream【解析】
【详解】根据中英文提示可知，此处缺少成分“宁愿被嘲笑也不愿放弃自己的梦想”，would rather do sth. than do sth.“宁愿做某事也不愿做某事”，后接动词原形；laugh at“嘲笑”，被动语态为be laughed at；give up his dream“放弃自己的梦想”。故填would rather be laughed at than give up his dream。56. 火势失控后，及时扑灭大火是多么费劲啊！How ________________ after it is ________________ !
①. It turned out that ②. had nothing to do with
【答案】 【解析】
①. difficult it is to put out the fire ②. out of control
【详解】根据中文提示可知，第一空是一个以How引导的感叹句，How引导的感叹句结构是：How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其他，How difficult it is to put out the fire in time“及时扑灭大火是多么费劲啊”；第二空应填意为“失控”的英文表达，out of control“失控”。故填difficult it is to put out the fire；out of control。

Changzhou, my hometown, has changed a lot over the past ten years.
Ten years ago, Changzhou was a quiet and small city with fewer shops and cars. When going outside, people didn’t have many choices but to take a bus and it took them much time. There were only a few parks and people needed to pay for visiting them. Life was a little boring and hard.
Nowadays, Changzhou has become a modern place. More wide roads and undergrounds make it convenient/easy
for us to go everywhere. Besides, so many different open parks have been built and we can enjoy different views freely. More importantly, people here have become richer, and we are devoting ourselves to making the city more beautiful and the life better.
What great changes! As we know, changes mean not only power but also chances. I hope more changes will take place in Changzhou.【解析】
