A
Growing Potato Plants
Things prepared:
a potato that has sprouts (发芽)
a flower pot with soil
a camera to record progress (进展)
Observation (观察):
Day One
The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I’ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.
Day Six
Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It’s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
Day Eleven
Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
Day Thirteen
Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I’m also glad to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
Day Fifteen
Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3cm tall. They’re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
What I have learned:
It’s really great to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato won’t grow. The temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won’t grow, either.
I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life. It takes not only time, but also lots of efforts and patience.
19. The reading material is a/an ________.
A. report B. story C. advertisement D. news
20. What can we know from the text
A. “Buddy” grew very fast in the first six days.
B. There weren’t any more new sprouts on the 13th day.
C. Plenty of water is necessary for growing potato plants.
D. The writer got new potatoes on the fifteenth day of the experiment.
21. What has the writer learned from the experiment
AOld habits die hard. B. Rome wasn’t built in one day.
C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Knowledge comes from questioning.
B
I sent a message to my sister at 12:30 p.m. during my lunch to ask her about my father’s progress. He was having his second knee surgery (手术) and my expectations were the same as the last successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.
★, my first question was “How is he doing ”. My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was swollen (肿). I tried my best not to cry because I was supposed to explain to him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so weak and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine. I returned to the hall and I realized that my hero, best friend, and loved one in life was in a dangerous state and at that point anything could happen.
I recalled what happened when I was a child. “I’m going to the store.” he always said. Of course that was my reason to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I was able to sit in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said, “Get whatever you want and something for Ana.” Anna is my sister. My dad and I were best friends. He never showed preference with his children, but I just always happened to follow him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl and he couldn’t say no to me.
My father spent his whole life giving us the best. Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must keep oneself away from his parents because it is childish. It is time to take action and value the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life gives us chances to value what is the most important in life.
22. How did the writer feel after knowing her father’s situation
A. Safe. B. Angry. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
23. Which of the following can be put in ★
A. When I was a child B. When I went to the store
C. When I arrived at the hospital D. When I returned back to my home
24. What can we learn about the writer’s childhood
A. Her father likes her the most. B. She was never refused by her father.
C. She didn’t like her family and left very early. D. She followed her father a lot when she was a child.
25. The passage mainly wants to tell us to ________.
A. grow up alone B. value the most important in life
C. ask for everything we like D. care about our parents’ health
C
Although we often hear about driverless cars, it is still not clear when we will be able to buy one to make those long boring road trips a lot easier. Let’s take a look at why.
What driverless technology is in use now
The idea of a driverless car dates back to 1939! However, we are not sure what driverless technology can and can’t do. When most people think of driverless cars, they think of sitting back in their car and reading a book while the car does all the work and gets them to where they want to go. In fact, that kind of technology is many years away. At the moment, our car can help control the direction, but our attention must still be on the road. Before smarter technology becomes popular, people will need to deal with a lot of problems, such as getting the car to understand the road signs and allowing cars to “connect” to one another. In this way, all cars can be aware of what is happening around them.
What problems are driverless cars facing
There are a few reasons why driverless cars may take some time to come to fruition.
Although AI and driverless skills have developed for a long time AI still isn’t as smart as a human brain when something happens suddenly. Driverless technology needs to be able to deal with some accidents before it can become truly popular.
Online attack is also a kind of danger. Hackers（黑客）could get into your car and take control of your car, using their skills to either steal your car or even hurt you. Our technology must be safe before we give too much trust in driverless cars.
Driverless cars could actually make the air pollution worse. If people are able to sleep or work in their cars, there will be even less reason to get public transport（公共交通）. Unless driverless cars are all powered by clean energy, the planet won’t be better with more driverless cars.
26. About driverless cars, the writer agrees that ________.
A. we can buy some in the near future.
B. they were first invented in the 21st century.
C. hackers will surely operate our cars through the Internet.
D. the drivers still have to pay their attention on the road for now.
27. The following phrase “________” has the same meaning as the underlined phrase “come to fruition” in Paragraph 3.
A. come into use B. run free C. set off D. take place
28. According to the passage, driverless cars are facing the problems EXCEPT ________.
A. air pollution B. high price C. online attacks D. AI technology
29. How does the writer organize the article
A. B. C. D.

二、单项选择（共8小题;每小题1分,满分8分）
1. Tony came ________ first in the race. I don’t think we can find ________ better runner.
A. the; the B. /; a C. the; a D. /; the
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：托尼在赛跑中得了第一名。我想我们找不到更好的跑步者了。
考查冠词。the定冠词，表示特指；a一个，不定冠词，表示泛指；/零冠词；come first“取得第一名”，是固定短语，所以第一空不需要用冠词；第二空泛指一个更好的跑步者，应用不定冠词a修饰，故选B。
2. —________ great problems we have ________ English!
—Yes. I can be ________ at it this way.
A. How; to learn; good B. How; learning; well C. What; to leam; better D. What; learning; better
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我们学英语遇到了多大的问题啊！——是的。这样我可以做得更好。
考查感叹句，非谓语动词和形容词比较级。中心词problems是可数名词复数形式，用what引导的感叹句结构：what+形容词+可数名词复数形式+主谓，排除A和B选项。固定搭配：have problems doing sth“做某事有困难”，排除C选项。答语蕴含比较之意，所以第三个空填比较级，故选D。
3. Look, the whole family are discussing ________ for the birthday party.
A. about what to buy B. to buy what C. about to buy what D. what to buy
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：看，全家人都在讨论生日聚会买什么。
考查及物动词及不定式。discuss“讨论”，及物动词，其后不用加介词，可直接跟讨论的内容；“疑问词what+不定式to buy”作动词discuss的宾语。故选D。
4. Chongqing has more people than ________ in Jiangsu and ________ in China.
A. any city; any city B. any city; any other city
C. any other city; the other cities D. any other city; any city
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：重庆的人口比江苏任何城市和中国任何其他城市都多。
考查比较级。在比较级中any和any other两者后面都接单数名词，其区别在于：any指不同范围内，表示任何一个；any other表示同一范围，除自己之外的任何一个。本题中重庆不属于江苏省，二者不表示同一范围，因此第一个空用any；重庆属于中国，二者表示同一范围，因此第二个空用any other；故选B。
5. Do you believe what he ________ about his best friend He never ________ lies.
A. talks; tells B. says; talks C. talks; says D. says; tells
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：你相信他对他最好的朋友说的话吗？他从来不说谎。
考查动词辨析。talk谈论；tell告诉，讲述；say说。根据“Do you believe what he...about his best friend He never...lies.”可知，此处强调说的内容，what作宾语，应使用say；tell lies“说谎”，固定搭配。故选D。
6. Suzy doesn’t paint so ________ as others, but her idea is ________ of all.
Acarefully; the best B. careful; the best C. more carefully; the better D. most carefully; best
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：Suzy画得不像别人那样仔细，但她的想法是最好的。
考查副词原级以及形容词最高级。carefully仔细地，副词；careful仔细的，形容词。so…as之间应该使用副词或形容词的原级， 并且此处修饰动词paint，所以应该使用副词carefully。根据第二空后的of all可知，此处是在三者或三者以上进行比较，应该使用最高级，并且最高级前应该加the，故选A。
7. The price of the boots _______ than before.
A. is more lower B. are more cheaper
C. is much lower D. are much cheaper
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：靴子的价格比以前低很多。形容价格price的高低应用high或low，而不用expensive或cheap。此句中的主语是the price of the boots，价格不可数，所以应该用is，同时much修饰比较级，故答案选C。
8. —What _________ the number of students in your school
—About two thousand. A number of them _________ from the countryside.
A. is; are B. is; is C. are; is D. are; are
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你们学校有多少学生？——大约2000人。他们中的许多人来自农村。
考查主谓一致。“the number of+名词复数”表示“……的数量”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数，所以第一空应填is；“a number of+名词复数”表示“许多”，作主语时，谓语动词用复数，所以第二空应填are。故选A。

【导语】本文主要讲述了Frank和Robert因时间观念不同在学习上做的不同的安排。Frank抓紧一切时间学习而Robert总抱怨没有时间学习。故事告诉我们：要善于管理和利用时间。
【9题详解】
句意：为什么不马上学习？
learn学习；play玩耍；rest休息；run跑。根据上文中的“I will never find time to learn this boring lesson”及“You have ten minutes before lunch.”可知是让他开始学习。故选A。
【10题详解】
句意：十分钟！那什么都不是。
something某事；nothing没有东西；everything一切；anything任何事。根据下文内容“Besides, I must run with Rover now”及“Robert told the teacher that he had no time.”可知他认为10分钟什么都做不了，因此用“nothing”。故选B。
【11题详解】
句意：在上学路上Frank从自己的书包中拿出书并边走边学。
put away储存；pointed at指向；took out拿出；looked up查阅。根据后面的“began to learn part of it”可知应先从书包拿出书。故选C。
【12题详解】
句意：Robert大笑着说：“真是个书虫！”
laughing大笑；waving挥手；singing唱歌；reading读。根据说话内容“What a bookworm!”可知Robert是在嘲笑弗兰克。故选A。
【13题详解】
句意：Robert跟男孩们快速地跑了。
sadly悲伤地；politely礼貌地；quickly快速地；quietly安静地。根据下文内容“Frank promised to join them in 15 minutes, and took out his book again.”可知Frank又拿出书学习了15分钟与Robert形成对比，因此是Robert很快跟着同学跑了。故选C。
【14题详解】
句意：读完书后，Frank去和同学们玩而且很享受。
taught教；forgot忘记；minded介意；enjoyed享受。根据搭配的宾语“the games”及语境可知应是玩得很开心，因此用“enjoy”表示“享受”。故选D。
【15题详解】
句意：但是第二天上学的时候，Frank对课程了解的很好，而Robert告诉老师他没有时间学习。
and和；but但是；so所以；or或者。前后表示对比表示转折，应使用表示转折的连词but连接。故选B。
【16题详解】
句意：Frank，你是怎样抽出时间学习的？
Why为什么；Where哪里；How怎样；What什么。根据下文内容 “I had ten minutes before lunch yesterday…and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.” 可知老师问的是方法，因此用“how”。故选C。
【17题详解】
句意：我昨天午餐前有10分钟。
five五；ten十；fifteen十五；twenty二十。根据上文中的“You have ten minutes before lunch.”可知在午餐前是有10分钟。故选B。
【18题详解】
句意：然后我在睡觉前复习了十分钟功课；今天早餐前花了十分钟才把它做好。
perfect完好的；boring无聊的；special特殊的；strange奇怪的。根据Frank的描述可知最后一步应是将学习内容完成，因此用“perfect”。故选A。

I sent a message to my sister at 12:30 p.m. during my lunch to ask her about my father’s progress. He was having his second knee surgery (手术) and my expectations were the same as the last successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.
★, my first question was “How is he doing ”. My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was swollen (肿). I tried my best not to cry because I was supposed to explain to him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so weak and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine. I returned to the hall and I realized that my hero, best friend, and loved one in life was in a dangerous state and at that point anything could happen.
I recalled what happened when I was a child. “I’m going to the store.” he always said. Of course that was my reason to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I was able to sit in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said, “Get whatever you want and something for Ana.” Anna is my sister. My dad and I were best friends. He never showed preference with his children, but I just always happened to follow him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl and he couldn’t say no to me.
My father spent his whole life giving us the best. Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must keep oneself away from his parents because it is childish. It is time to take action and value the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life gives us chances to value what is the most important in life.
22. How did the writer feel after knowing her father’s situation
A. Safe. B. Angry. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.

Although we often hear about driverless cars, it is still not clear when we will be able to buy one to make those long boring road trips a lot easier. Let’s take a look at why.
What driverless technology is in use now
The idea of a driverless car dates back to 1939! However, we are not sure what driverless technology can and can’t do. When most people think of driverless cars, they think of sitting back in their car and reading a book while the car does all the work and gets them to where they want to go. In fact, that kind of technology is many years away. At the moment, our car can help control the direction, but our attention must still be on the road. Before smarter technology becomes popular, people will need to deal with a lot of problems, such as getting the car to understand the road signs and allowing cars to “connect” to one another. In this way, all cars can be aware of what is happening around them.
What problems are driverless cars facing
There are a few reasons why driverless cars may take some time to come to fruition.
Although AI and driverless skills have developed for a long time, AI still isn’t as smart as a human brain when something happens suddenly. Driverless technology needs to be able to deal with some accidents before it can become truly popular.
Online attack is also a kind of danger. Hackers（黑客）could get into your car and take control of your car, using their skills to either steal your car or even hurt you. Our technology must be safe before we give too much trust in driverless cars.
Driverless cars could actually make the air pollution worse. If people are able to sleep or work in their cars, there will be even less reason to get public transport（公共交通）. Unless driverless cars are all powered by clean energy, the planet won’t be better with more driverless cars.
26. About driverless cars, the writer agrees that ________.
A. we can buy some in the near future.
B. they were first invented in the 21st century.
C. hackers will surely operate our cars through the Internet.
D. the drivers still have to pay their attention on the road for now.
27. The following phrase “________” has the same meaning as the underlined phrase “come to fruition” in Paragraph 3.
A. come into use B. run free C. set off D. take place
28. According to the passage, driverless cars are facing the problems EXCEPT ________.
A. air pollution B. high price C. online attacks D. AI technology
29. How does the writer organize the article
A. B. C. D.
【答案】26. D27. A28. B29. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了无人驾驶汽车目前还面临很多需要解决的问题。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“In fact, that kind of technology is many years away. At the moment, our car can help control the direction, but our attention must still be on the road.”可知，作者认为目前司机仍需在路上集中注意力。故选D。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Although AI and driverless skills have developed for a long time, AI still isn’t as smart as a human brain when something happens suddenly. Driverless technology needs to be able to deal with some accidents before it can become truly popular.”可知，虽然AI和无人驾驶技能已经发展了很长时间，但当突然发生一些事情时，AI仍然不如人脑聪明。无人驾驶技术需要能够处理一些事故，才能真正普及，可猜测出，无人驾驶汽车要投入使用的话还需要一段时间，故下划线短语的意思应是：投入使用，和come into use含义相同。故选A。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“Although AI and driverless skills have developed for a long time, AI still isn’t as smart as a human brain when something happens suddenly；Online attack is also a kind of danger；Driverless cars could actually make the air pollution worse.”可推理出，无人驾驶汽车面临的问题不包括价格高。故选B。
【29题详解】
篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提出了文章要讨论的问题：无人驾驶汽车；接下来分两个方面介绍：现在使用的无人驾驶技术；无人驾驶汽车面临的问题；第四、五和六段回答无人驾驶汽车面临的问题。故文章的结构应是如B图所示。故选B。
