　　(60分鐘81分)

　　Part A

　　一、閱讀理解(共8小題;每小題2分,滿分16分)

　　A

　　Having experienced a shocking electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

　　One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later,lying face down in muddy water.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a tree and a muddy road.When Mrs Franco came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

　　The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.

　　【文章大意】本文是記敘文。一次電擊事故導致詹姆斯·弗蘭科失明、失聰近十年,但后來因為另一次事故他竟然奇跡般地恢復了視力和聽力。

　　1.D　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句“The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.”可知,失去視力和聽力使他生活在黑暗無聲的世界里,這種痛苦導致他幾度要自殺,D項符合文意。

　　2.C　細節理解題。根據第二段第二句“He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.”可知,被電擊時他正在樹下避雨,應選C項。

　　3.B　詞義推測題。由劃線詞所在句中的However和none可推出,劃線詞應表示肯定意義,排除A項;再根據下句句意可知,劃線詞應與reasonable含義相近,故選擇B項,表示對于所發生的這種情況,沒有人能給出“令人信服的”答案。

　　4.B　標題歸納題。本文主要講述了因事故失明、失聰的詹姆斯·弗蘭科被閃電擊中后,奇跡般地恢復了視力和聽力的故事,B項與文意相符,其他選項均偏離主題。

　　B

　　Most kinds of rose plants are native to Asia.But roses also grow in other parts of the world including northwest Africa,Europe and the United States.In 1986,Congress and President Ronald Reagan chose the rose as America’s national flower.Whatever the name,the decision did not smell sweet to supporters of other popular flowers.

　　Some people say roses are difficult to grow.But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts.You should choose a place to plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days.You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order.You can buy potted roses,also known as container roses,or bare-root plants.Each kind has its fans.

　　Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant.They say the roots develop better if you start with potted roses.But others point out that bare-root roses come without soil,so they weigh less to transport and that can save money.When growing roses,the soil should feel moist(潮濕的)deep down.

　　Watering should be done in the morning.You can avoid problems like black spot and mildew that way.Be careful not to water roses too much.Too much water can cause unhealthy discoloration on the leaves.

　　After heavy rains or too much watering,try temporarily pulling away mulch(覆蓋物) from around the roots.Doing that will help dry the soil.Mulch stops weeds from growthing and holds moisture in the soil.You can use mulch made from bark,pine needles,cottonseed or oak leaves.

　　1.From the first paragraph,we know that in the United States .?

　　A.not all the people like roses

　　B.there are a lot of national flowers

　　C.some roses don’t smell sweet

　　D.most roses exist naturally

　　2.Why do some garderners suggest planting bare-root roses?

　　A.They are easier to plant.

　　B.Their roots develop better.

　　C.They are cheap to transport.

　　D.They don’t need any sunshine.

　　3.From the last paragraph we can infer that placing mulch around rose plants .?

　　A.helps dry the soil

　　B.avoids problems like black spot

　　C.contributes to the rose growth

　　D.makes more air flow around roses

　　4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

　　A.The origin of the rose

　　B.The choice of the national flower

　　C.The purchase of the rose

　　D.The planting of the rose

　　【文章大意】本文是說明文,介紹了種植玫瑰的方法。　

　　1.A　細節理解題。由第一段最后一句可知,選擇將玫瑰作為國花對其他花卉的支持者來說不是一個令人愉快的決定,可見并不是所有的美國人都喜歡玫瑰,故選擇A項。

　　2.C　細節理解題。根據第三段倒數第二句“...so they weigh less to transport and that can save money.”可知C項正確。

　　3.C　推理判斷題。最后一段第三句提到,覆蓋物能夠抑制雜草生長,保持土壤水分。據此推知,在玫瑰周圍放置覆蓋物有利于玫瑰生長,故選擇C項。

　　4.D　標題歸納題。由第二段第二句“But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts.”可看出,本文介紹的是種植玫瑰的方法,下文都圍繞這個中心展開,故選擇D項。

　　二、語法填空(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)

　　Tu Youyou,84,was 1.(honor) with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Oct.5,2024.She was the first Chinese citizen 2.(win) a Nobel Prize in science.Tu 3.(share)the prize with the Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan.?

　　“The discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional Chinese medicine.It’s the collective achievement of the research team.Winning the prize is an honor for Chinese science and traditional Chinese medicine,”Tu said.

　　(2024·山東臨沂期中考試)

　　1.honored。be honored with...“被授予……獎勵(頭銜、稱號等)”。

　　2.to win。當名詞被序數詞、形容詞最高級或only,last,next等詞修飾時,常接不定式作定語。

　　3.shared。描述已發生過的事,應用一般過去時。share sth.with sb.“與某人分享某物”。

　　4.researcher。空前有a修飾,此處泛指“一名研究者”,故填名詞researcher。

　　5.which。此處的非限制性定語從句中缺少主語,應用which指代artemisinin。

　　6.developing。developing country“發展中國家”。

　　7.in/during。in/during the late 1960s“在20世紀60年代后期”。

　　8.failures。two hundred后須用名詞復數。

　　9.finally。此處應用副詞修飾動詞found,故填finally。

　　【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。Jason為了給媽媽買蛋糕和給寵物鳥買食物,希望多賣些報紙掙錢,但因為他堅決不說謊,所以未能賣完報紙。然而由于他沒有說謊,竟意外地得到了一份收入不錯的工作。

　　1.D　根據后文“he thought of his failure to sell all his papers”可知Jason還有20份報紙沒有賣掉,D項符合語境。

　　2.B　根據下文商店快要關門了,人們也要回家了,但Jason的報紙還沒有賣完可知,他的心情很沉重,所以此處要用heavy。

　　3.A　根據上文可以得知Jason沒有賣完報紙,因此他只能帶著剩余的報紙而不是賣報的酬勞回家,故此處要用instead of。

　　4.D　根據11空后面的“and the cake he wanted to buy for his mother”可知他想給自己的媽媽買蛋糕,所以此處要用cake。

　　5.B　Jason想通過賣報紙給媽媽買蛋糕和給小鳥買食物,但是他的報紙沒賣完,因此他感覺到自己崩潰了,所以此處要用broke down。

　　6.D　通過后面Chad說的話“You must shout,‘Hot news! Bomb bursting!’”可以得知他在說賣報的秘訣,所以此處要用secret。

　　7.B　此處前后為轉折關系,因此要用but連接。

　　8.A　通過上下文可知,Chad賣報的方式是欺騙,需要在被顧客發現之前立刻逃跑,所以此處要用before。

　　9.C　此處表示“你將賣光報紙,得到錢”。sell out“賣光,脫銷”。

　　10.B　根據上文可知,Chad所說的話對Jason來說是全新的想法,所以用idea。故選B項。A項意為“版本”;C項意為“政策”;D項意為“任務”。

　　11.C　根據第一段中的“some seeds for his bird”可知此處用seeds。

　　12.D　根據轉折連詞but可知,他下定決心不說謊。所以用determined“下定決心的,堅定的”。

　　13.C　盡管他僅僅是一個窮報童,但他被教導了一些美好的東西。所以此處用just。

　　14.A　見上一題解析。此處用taught。

　　15.C　第二天下午Jason像往常一樣去辦公室拿報紙。所以用as usual。

　　16.A　根據“he sold six dozen the day before”可知,Chad帶著自豪的微笑宣布他前一天賣了六打報紙。所以用proud“驕傲的”。

　　17.B　根據上文所知,Jason不愿意說謊,因此沒拿到錢。所以用lost。

　　18.A　根據上文可知,其他的孩子們說謊了,而Jason沒有說謊,因此他們嘲笑他。所以用laughed。

　　19.C　根據下文可知,此處指他親切地拍了拍Jason的肩膀。所以用fondly“深情地,親切地”。故選C項。A項意為“勇敢地”;B項意為“感激地”;D項意為“謙虛地”。

　　20.C　根據下文中的“got a well-paid job”可知,Jason開始了他的新工作。所以用job。
