For 16﹣year﹣old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world．Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance．Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness．She became interested in music when she was young．She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion．
Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano．Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes．It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly．
Learning the violin was more challenging．Ma needed to feel the teacher hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself．“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin．But Ma said, “As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up I believe I will play better if I persist in practising．”
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing．She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead．
Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event．“All my hard work has paid off．I’m proud of standing on the stage today．”
34．How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin?
A．By questioning．B．By listing numbers．
C．By offering advice．D．By giving examples．
35．Which is the correct order according to the text?
①Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing．
②Ma performed at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games．
③Ma began to learn to play the piano．
④Ma went blind because of an illness．
A．③②④①B．①④③②
C．④③①②D．②④③①
36．What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A．Keep on．B．End up．C．Take pride in．D．Look forward to．
37．What does Ma’s story tell us?
A．Old habits die hard．B．There is no place like home．
C．Practice makes perfect．D．A good friend is like a mirror．
The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online．I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team．
I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes．Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing．I felt sad．I wished it would be about victory．Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it!”
Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important．It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up．Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check．Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not．Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair (不公平的)．Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods．And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills．That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again．
My son is 15 years old now．And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team．Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game．The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget．After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him．And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying．
38．Why did the writer feel sad at first?
A．Because her son didn’t keep feeling confident．
B．Because her son didn’t enter the basketball team．
C．Because her son decided to stop playing basketball．
D．Because her son failed in a few basketball matches．
39．What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Hide my own feelings．B．Hurt my own feelings．
C．Follow my own feelings．D．Show my own feelings．
40．What can be inferred (推断) about the writer’s son?
A．He felt unhappy with his parents．
B．He stopped working on his game skills．
C．He played in the high school team at the age of 12．
D．He was finally accepted by his high school team．
41．How does the writer organize her ideas in this passage?
A．Using the space order．B．From general to specific．
C．Using the time order．D．From specific to general．
You stand in a garden．A low noise reaches your ears．You see a small insect flying near your head．You turn to look, and it flies out of sight．There it is again! You move slowly．You can see yellow and black stripes on it．
Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look．
Bees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying．But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s．That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly．
Many flower flies look like bees．This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them．Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers(刺)．Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble．Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone．
Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food．Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉) and nectar(花蜜)．This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers．They are helpful garden insects just like bees．Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit．
Flower flies can stay in one place while flying．Most insects move forward when they fly．But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do．Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you!
42．In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage? A．Nature．B．Culture．C．Fashion．D．Health．
43．In which way are bees and flower flies different?
A．The food that they eat．B．The colour of their stripes．
C．The way they help garden flowers grow．D．The shape of wings when they stop flying．
44．What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Make friends with the flies．B．Eat the flies up．
C．Keep away from the flies．D．Invite the flies in．
45．What might the writer of the passage agree with?
A．People usually prefer bees to flower flies．
B．People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees．
C．People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies．
D．People should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood．

On the fourth day I found a campfire．It was still smoking．Somebody else was living on my island! Who was it? I felt scared so I took my gun and climbed a tree．I watched for a long time but I didn’t see anyone．I went back to my tent and tried to sleep．I didn’t feel safe any more．The next day I went exploring．I kept my gun with me all the time．After a while I saw a fire through the trees．I went up to it very slowly and very quietly．A man was lying on the ground near the fire．He was asleep but there was a
blanket over his head so I couldn’t see his face．I hid behind a bush and waited．I had to wait for a long time and it was starting to get dark when the man finally woke up．He stood up and took off the blanket．It was Jim, Miss Watson’s slave! I jumped out and ran up to him．
“Jim!” I said．“It’s me, Huck!”
“Huck! Is it really you?” Jim said, with a big smile．
“Yes, Jim, and I’m really happy to see you．But what are you doing here?”
“Well, alright then．The other day a businessman from New Orleans came to the house．I knew that Miss Watson wanted to sell me．I was scared．Then I ran away and hid on the island．”
We sat there chatting for a long time．I liked talking to Jim because he knew a lot of things．He understood signs．He knew which ones meant good luck and which ones meant bad luck．He knew which signs meant bad weather, too．When he saw some birds flying low in the sky he said, “It’s going to rain later, Huck．We must find a dry place to make a camp．”
The next day we climbed to the top of a big hill in the middle of the island and found a cave in the rock．“This is a good place,” Jim said．“Let’s make our camp here!”

参考答案
1．A
【详解】句意：——你知道《热辣滚烫》这部电影今年的票房纪录最高吗？——当然。

我从来没看过
比这部更有趣的电影。

考查冠词。

根据“Hot and Spicy”可知第一空表特指，应用定冠词the；第二空泛指“一部更有趣的电影”，且more是以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。

故选A。

2．C
【详解】句意：体育老师在烈日下一定很渴。

我们给他带瓶水吧。

考查情态动词辨析。

can能，可能；may也许；must一定；should应该。

由语意可知这里指推测，在烈日下的体育老师“一定”很渴。

故选C。

3．B
【详解】句意：——你好！我能和西蒙说话吗？——对不起，他现在不在。

他和他姑姑去看电影了。

考查现在完成时。

has been to．．．去过某地；has gone to．．．去了某地。

根据“Sorry, he isn’t in right now．”可知，此处强调过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时，即：西蒙和他姑姑去看电影了，还没回来。

故选B。

4．C
【详解】句意：——天气预报说今晚气温会突然下降。

——那么我们最好在出门前穿暖和些。

考查副词辨析。

slowly慢慢地；quietly安静地；suddenly突然；directly直接地。

根据“Then we’d better dress warmly before going out．”可知，应说晚上气温会“突然”降低，所以出门前就要穿暖和。

故选C。

5．B
【详解】句意：直到时间结束我才交试卷。

考查动词辨析。

goes out 出去；runs out用完；comes out出版；gives out分发。

根据主句“I won’t hand in my examination paper”可知，时间用完了才交卷，runs out符合。

故选B。

6．D
【详解】句意：——让我们打开电视观看足球比赛吧。

——太晚了。

球赛已经结束了半个小时，结果
是1比0，中国队赢了。

考查现在完成时态。

在现在完成时态中，当与一段时间状语连用时，谓语应用延续性动词，finish表示“完成”，begin表示“开始”，都是短暂性动词，则对应的延续性动词分别是be over和be on。

根据题干中“And the result is 1-0, China won．”可知，足球比赛已经结束了半个小时，则此处应用be over。

故选D。

7．A
【详解】句意：多么可怕的旅程啊！不管怎样，幸运的是，我们现在安全了。

考查副词辨析，Anyway不管怎样；Otherwise否则，不然；Moreover此外，而且；Instead反而。

根据“What a terrible journey! ．．．, lucky us, we are safe now．”可知，应该是无论旅程多么可怕，不管怎样，现在安全是幸运的，故选A。

8．C
【详解】句意：父母经常期待他们的孩子做他们过去没能做的一切事情。

考查不定式结构。

did过去式；doing动名词；to do不定式结构；do动词原形。

根据“expect to do”期待做某事，所以横线上是不定式结构。

故选C。

9．D
【详解】句意：我叔叔过去常乘公共汽车去上班，但现在他习惯步行去上班。

考查动词短语。

used to do sth过去常常做某事；be used to do sth被用来做某事；be used to doing sth习
惯做某事。

根据“but now”可知，叔叔过去常乘公共汽车去上班，前句应用used to do sth，后句应用be used to doing sth表示“习惯步行上班”，故选D。

10．D
【详解】句意：我们应该记住爱和交流可以帮助家人之间更加相互理解。

考查名词辨析。

conclusion结论；competition比赛；condition情况；communication交流。

根据语境“help family members understand each other better”可知，家人之间的理解与交流是双向的，communication符
合语境。

故选D。

11．C
【详解】句意：你或者你的哥哥可以加入我们，我们只需要一个人。

考查连词词组辨析。

both…and两者都；neither… nor两者都不；either．．．or．．．或者……或者……；not only．．．but also．．．不但……而且……。

从句意看，表示我们只要其中之一个，故用either，故选C。

【点睛】both…and表示两者都，谓语动词用复数的形式；Neither… nor表示两者都不，谓语动词就近原则；Not only… but also不但……而且，谓语动词就近原则，这类短语在掌握了意思的基础上，再对主谓一致的现象要求学生掌握。

12．C
【详解】句意：一个整洁的桌子意味着你是有条理的。

你不需要花费几个小时在一堆纸下面找东西。

考查形容词辨析。

modest谦虚的；creative有创造性的；organized有条理的；generous大方的。

根据“You won’t have to spend hours looking for things under piles of paper．”可知，一个整洁的桌子意味着你是有条
理的，organized符合语境。

故选C。

13．C
【详解】句意：这个年轻人当兵大约两年了。

考查连词辨析。

when当……时；before在……以前；since自从；as因为。

it is/has been+一段时间+since+一般过去时“做某事已经……”，是固定句型，故选C。

14．A
【详解】句意：——你的车真干净！——谢谢。

一周洗三次。

考查一般现在时的被动语态。

根据“How clean your car is!”及“It ．．．three times a weck．”可知，It指
代前文说的“car”，与谓语wash之间是动宾关系，且由“three times a week．”可知，时态是一般现在时，因此空处用一般现在时的被动语态am/is/are done，主语是三单，be用is。

故选A。

15．D
【详解】句意：——打扰一下。

我能打开空调吗？里面有点儿冷。

——去做吧。

A．不客气；B．Not at all．没关系；C．I don’t think so．我不那么认为；D．Go ahead, please．请做吧。
