Life at Cambridge was exciting for Charles. Then bug (虫子)-collecting was a 11 activity among the students there. They would spend a lot of time looking for insects and hold competitions to see who could find the most 12 bugs! Bug-mad Charles soon became one of these “collectors”.
13 , while looking for bugs, Charles found a dead tree—a great place to look for new insects! He pulled away some of its bark (树皮) and found a very beautiful bug, which he caught with one hand. He then found 14 , and caught it in his other hand. That was 15 he saw a very unusual bug running around.
Thinking quickly, he put one of the insects he was holding into his 16 so he could catch the new one. In a second, he realized he had made a big 17 —the bug in his mouth let out some sour juice that made him spit (吐) it out. In a cough, he 18 all three bugs and had to start looking all over again! He couldn’t help but 19 at what had happened: how amazing! It also gave him a great idea: why not 20 a club where he and his friends could taste other unusual things?
Charles set up the Glutton Club to share his interest in 21 strange creatures. The members would serve different insects and then compare their tastes to see which tasted best.
The boy who loved bugs never lost his interest in 22 the secrets of nature. He would go on to have many exciting adventures (冒险) and discover many amazing things.

阅读下面的短文,从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
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. B.Friends who help reduce pain.
C.Friends who share a long friendship. D.Friends who are easy to deal with.
24.Which of the following idioms describes two similar friends?
A.Hit it off. B.Through thick and thin.
C.A shoulder to cry on. D.Like two peas in a pod.
25.What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce some English idioms. B.To explain what a good friendship is.
C.To teach readers how to learn idioms well. D.To offer some examples of English sentences.
B
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. B.By listening to the music passively.
C.By expecting what’s coming next. D.By imagining what the notes describe.
28.What does the underlined word “shift” probably mean?
A.固定 B.转移 C.夸大 D.冷却

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. B.It was paid no attention to.
C.It was far from enough. D.It was considered important.
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.
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! B.Is it okay if it’s not good?
C.The earlier, the better! D.How to pay attention to mental health?
D
“Now it is over,” he thought. All the wounds were hurting with the cold of the night. “I hope so much I do not have to fight again.”
But at midnight they came again in a group. He could only see the lines in the water that their fins made and their phosphorescence as they threw themselves on the fish.
He beat their heads with the tiller (舵柄), but the ship shook heavily as they knocked below... They drove in one after another, tearing off the pieces of fish... He swung (摆动) the tiller with all his strength... He heard the tiller break... He threw his sharp pork as heavily as possible... The last shark rolled away. There was nothing more for them to eat.
The old man could hardly breathe now and he felt a strange taste in his mouth. He spat (吐) into the ocean and said. “Eat that, galanos. And make a dream that you’ve killed a man.”
After a while, he settled the ship on her course. He had no thoughts nor any feelings. He sailed lightly now as well and as wisely as he could. The old man paid no attention to anything except steering (驾驶). He only noticed how lightly and how well the ship sailed now — there was no great weight beside her.
“She’s good,” he thought. “She is not harmed in any way except for the tiller. That is easily replaced.”
He could feel he was inside the current (水流) now and he could see the lights of the beach. He knew where he was now and it was nothing to get home.
“The wind is our friend, anyway,” he thought. Then he added, “Sometimes.” “And the great sea with our friends and our enemies. Bed is my friend. Just bed. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you?” he thought.
“Nothing,” he said aloud. “I went out too far.”
33.What does the underlined word “they” in the 2nd paragraph refer to (指代)?
A.The sharks attacking the ship. B.The fish in the ship.
C.The fish in the sea. D.Birds above the sea.
34.The underlined word “She” in the 6th paragraph means ________.
A.The last shark. B.The dead fish. C.The ship. D.The sea.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A.The old came home safely with a ship of fish.
B.The old man only fought against one shark that night.
C.The old man would never go out to catch fish any more.
D.The old man thought bed was always his good friend.
36.What words can be used to describe the old man in the story?

四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Chopsticks were first used in China and then introduced to other areas in the world. 37 Here are 3 things to know about them.
When were chopsticks invented?
Long long time ago, Chinese ancestors (祖先) actually also used hands to eat. About 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, Chinese people started to use chopsticks. During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia (梜)”, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu (箸)”. Because “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese, which is an unlucky word, by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. 38
Who invented chopsticks?
39 One is that Jiang Ziya was inspired (激励) to create chopsticks by a mythical (神话中的) bird. Another one is that Daji, the favorite consort (妃子) of the King Zhou of Shang, invented chopsticks in order to please the king. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick up hot food in order to save time to control floods. So, chopsticks came into being.
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.What else should we know about the history of chopsticks?
C.This is the origin (起源) of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks.
D.Chopsticks are considered one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.
E.The invention of chopsticks plays a very important role in Chinese history.
F.There is no exact historical record about the question, but there are many folk stories about it.

参考答案
1.B
【详解】句意:——大家都到齐了吗?——没有,鲍勃和提姆请假了。
考查复合不定代词。anybody任何人;everybody每个人;somebody某人;nobody没有人。由答语“No, Bob and Tim have asked for leave.”可知问的是每个人是否到了,所以用“everybody”。故选B。
2.C
【详解】句意:我们应该做的就是,跑向问题而不是回避它们。
考查介词辨析。 beyond超过、越过;through穿过、通过;towards朝向、面向;against反对。根据“but not away from them”可知,此处指 “跑向问题”,故选C。
…………
不错
