There was once a little grey planet that was very sad. The people living there
hadn't looked after it, 36 they had lots of smart inventions. 37 had dirtied the whole
planet so much with rubbish that almost no plants or animals were left.
One day, when a little boy was walking on the planet, he 38 a small red flower in
a corner. The flower was almost dying — so the boy 39 dug it up. Then he started
looking for a place where he could plant it. He searched all over the planet, but
everywhere was so 40 that there was no place the flower could possibly live in. Then
he looked up at the sky and noticed the moon. It seemed that maybe the 41 could live
there.
So the little boy put on his astronaut suit, and climbed into a spaceship. He put
the little red flower in the back, and they went off 42 the moon.
Far away from all that pollution and with the boy looking after it every day — the
flower 43 to grow, germinate (发芽), give birth to others, and these other flowers
spread onto other flowers. Before long, the whole moon was completely covered with
44 .
That's why, whenever the flowers open up, for a few minutes the moon takes on a
soft red sheen (光辉), like a warning light. Maybe it's telling us that if we don't 45 our
planet, a day will come when flowers will only be able to grow on the moon.

The world is a lot greener thanks to a young man named Felix Finkbeiner. Ever
since he was 9 years old, he has been trying to save the planet. In 2007, the German
created an environmental organization called “Plant-for-the-Planet”. It encourages
and trains children from around the world to plant trees as a way of fighting against
climate (气候) change. The first tree for Plant-for-the-Planet was planted in Starnberg,
Germany in March, 2007.
Since its creation, the organization has already made great progress with the help
of over 100,000 children between the ages of 9 and 12. One year after it was created,
150,000 trees had been planted. And four years after it was created, it had achieved its
goal of planting a total of 1 million trees around the world. Felix once said in a speech, “Forests are not only the livelihood (生计) of billions,
but for us children forests are our future.” It inspired kids from over 90 countries to
join his movement.
In 2011, the United Nations handed over (移交) its Billion Tree Campaign to
Plant-for-the-Planet. The Billion Tree Campaign was inspired by Wangari Maathai
from Kenya, an African country. Her Green Belt Movement planted more than 30
million trees in Africa. In 2017, the Billion Tree Campaign became the Trillion Tree
Campaign: to plant one trillion trees in the next 30 years. There are about 3 trillion
trees alive in the world today, so planting a trillion more would be a huge increase.
That's about 150 trees for every person on Earth.

perfect.
All in all, I made a real improvement with my grammar, pronunciation and how
long I spoke. (64) __________

her mistakes when she listened to her voice. She was mainly using the wrong verb
tense (时态) and using prepositions (介词) incorrectly. (65) __________ Donghyeon,
from South Korea, said that the exercise helped him to improve his English skills in
general.

instead of plastic bags when shopping. Even small things we do in our daily life can
make a difference.

部分解析
单项选择：
21. A。本小题考查冠词。题干第一个空泛指“老师”，故用 a，第二个空 make a
difference 是固定搭配，意为“影响；有作用”，故选 A。
22. C。本小题考查介词的固定搭配。bring ... back to life 是固定搭配，意为
“使……恢复生气”，故选 C。
23. B。本小题考查名词词义辨析。suggestion 意为“建议”；advantage 意为“优
势”；memory 意为“记忆”；challenge 意为“挑战”。最终来自大连的女孩 得到了

该被阻止的原因是，大多数人认为这么做很“残忍”，故选 D。
25. B。本小题考查词义相似的动词辨析。四个动词均可意为“花费”，take 常表示
“花费时间”，cost, spend 和 pay 均有“花费金钱”的含义，但 cost 的主语通常为物，
而 spend 和 pay 的主语通常为人。题干中主语 the lunch 是物而不是人，故选 B。
26. C。本小题考查情态动词词义辨析。need 意为“需要”；may 意为“可能；可
以”；should 意为“应该”；can 意为“能够”。根据“学校开放日距离现在仅有五天”

力做某事 / 负担得起做某事)，故选 B。
28. B。本小题考查非谓语动词。remember to do sth.表示“记得去做某事”(该事情

定形式一般为 didn’t use to；be used to doing sth.结构意为“习惯于做某事”，否定
形式一般为 be not used to。根据“你昨晚喝了那么多酒”及“如果我没有记错的话”

next Tuesday?”可知对方到目前为止还没有读完，应用现在完成时，故选 C。
31. B。本小题考查动词的语态及时态。主语 trees and flowers 和动词 plant 之间为
动宾关系，因此该句要用被动语态；根据题干中的时间状语 every year 可知，要
用一般现在时的被动语态，故选 B。32. A。本小题考查短语辨析。be harmful to 意为“对……有害”；be similar to 意为
“与……相似”；be full of 意为“满是……的”；be close to 意为“接近”。“我”建议你

Turn on the tap (水龙头) and the water comes out. Getting water is so 36 that
you may think that there is an endless supply (供应量) of it. But it is not true. 70% of
the earth is covered by water, 37 most of the water is salt water, leaving only a small
percent of fresh drinking water. Some 38 including Italy, Spain and South
Africa even buy water from other countries.

person in some countries 39 uses 5-10 liters of water a day. We should help save
water. Let’s have a look at 40 you can help:

day and by turning the tap off when we brush, we 41 save 5-10 liters of water.

waste food or other small bits of rubbish, 43 water is used.

A
For twelve children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the
art of cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay £280 for the course
where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.
Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom’s cooking and now I can do it
better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with
them to share the food we’ve made.”
Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really
enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on
weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I
decided to come, though.”
Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and
remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when
they’re cooking! As adults, we’re always learning more about food. If parents interest
their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skills to make
food for themselves when they leave home.”

Bradford City Matters
Welcome to the winter edition (版) of City Matters.
“Don’t Drop It; Stop It!”Put rubbish in your wheelie bin (有轮大垃圾筒).
You must put your rubbish in your wheelie bin to keep your environment clean. Don’t

Our Council officers are on the streets of Bradford looking for people who drop
rubbish. They will fine people who drop litter. This is part of our “Don’t Drop It；

*Say “no” to unwanted bags.
Take your own bags to the supermarket or reuse old ones.
Get your free shopping bag from our Advice Center.
*Recycle your waste.
Take bottles to your local recycling center.
*Buy recycled things.
Cards and paper are good examples.

bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very

以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词 a，故选 D。
22. A。本小题考查介词的固定搭配。put sth. to good use 是固定搭配，意为“好好
利用某物”，故选 A。
23. B。本小题考查名词词义辨析。suggestion 意为“建议”；advantage 意为“优
点”；introduction 意为“介绍”；exchange 意为“交换”。根据“它们不占用太多的空
间”可知，这是电子书的“优点”，故选 B。
24. A。本小题考查形容词词义辨析。cruel 意为“残忍的”；scary 意为“恐怖的”；
unlucky 意为“不幸的”；unnecessary 意为“不必要的”。根据“残疾人应该被尊重”
可知，卡拉认为捉弄他们是“残忍的”，故选 A。
25. B。本小题考查动词的用法。四个动词均可意为“花费”，take 常表示“花费时
间”，cost, pay 和 spend 均有“花费金钱”的含义，但 cost 的主语通常为物，而 pay
和 spend 的主语通常为人。题干中主语 they(指代 my shoes)是物而不是人，故选 B。
26. C。本小题考查动词 afford 的用法。afford 作动词，当意为“承担得起(后果)；
买得起”时，常与 can, could 或 be able to 连用，常用结构为 afford to do sth.(有能
力做某事 / 负担得起做某事)，故选 C。
27. D。本小题考查易混结构的用法。used to 结构意为“过去经常；以前常常”，

30. D。本小题考查动词的语态及时态。主语 Mr. Wang 和动词 interview 之间为动
宾关系，因此该句要用被动语态；根据题干中的时间状语 yesterday 可知，要用
一般过去时的被动语态，故选 D。
31. D。本小题考查固定搭配词义辨析。be good with ...意为“对……有办法”；be
known for ...意为“以……闻名”；be hard on ...意为“对……苛刻”；be harmful to ...

语序，故选 A。

I’m afraid so 意为“恐怕是这样”；I’m afraid not 意为“恐怕不行”。发话者建议星期
日在家玩电脑游戏，根据答语中的后一句“我认为我们应该进行一些户外活动”可
知，应答者对于发话者的建议表示“不同意”，故选 B。
完形填空:

36. B。由上一句“打开水龙头水就会流出来”可知获得水是很“容易的”。
37. B。尽管地球表面 70%被水覆盖，“但是”大多数水是咸水，只有一小部分是
可饮用的淡水。
38. A。由空格后面罗列的三个国家的名称可知该空填 countries。

消耗的水量很少，“仅仅”为 5 到 10 升。
40. B。下文列举了一些节水的方法，所以这里要表达的意思是：“怎么做”才能帮
助节水。
41. C。通过在刷牙的时候关闭水龙头，我们“能”节约 5 到 10 升水。
42-43. DB。下一句告诉我们每次冲掉废纸、剩饭或其他小块垃圾时，会使用“更

44. A。由下一句中的 rainwater 可知该空填 rain。
45. D。该段介绍的是节水方法之一，因此该处意思是应该自我挑战，将冲澡时
间“减少”1 到 2 分钟以节约用水。
阅读理解:
A
【体裁】记叙文
【话题】日常活动
【大意】学员 Bill，Flora 以及老师 Philippe 针对周末的烹饪课发表了自己的看法。
46. B。本小题考查学生查找细节信息的能力。由第一段最后一句可知这个课程

47. C。本小题考查学生理解具体信息的能力。由第二段 Bill 的话可知，老师们
很“幽默”，常常使他们发笑。
48. C。本小题考查学生理解具体信息的能力。由第三段 Flora 的话可知，是她的
妈妈建议她上烹饪课，以培养自己的一种兴趣爱好，因此 C 项正确。
49. D。本小题考查学生根据上下文猜测词义的能力。由该句前半句 Flora 说自己
很开心待在家，可推得刚开始她应该对这个课程不太“感兴趣”。
50. C。本小题考查学生查找细节信息的能力。由最后一段老师 Philippe 所说的话
的第二句可知，C 项正确。
B【体裁】应用文
【话题】世界与环境
【大意】材料介绍了 Bradford City 的一项环保活动。
51. C。本小题考查学生查找细节信息的能力。由 You can tell us about mice or
rubbish in your area ... at 01943 874 146 可知 C 项正确。

54. D。本小题考查学生查找细节信息的能力。由... 500 volunteers — entered our

的介绍，结合四个选项，可推得 D 项最有可能。
综合填空:
【体裁】说明文
【话题】人际交往
【大意】材料介绍了 Random Acts of Kindness Day 的一些情况。
76. to find。该句意思是“一个青少年写一些鼓励性的便条来让陌生人寻找”。该空
需要填动词不定式作后置定语。
77. happy。这些由个人做出的随意的善行会让他人感到“快乐”。
78. receives。由该句中的 may know the person who performs the act 可知该处指的
是“接受”善行的人，因为主语是 The person，所以该空填动词的第三人称单数形
式 receives。
79. communities。由连词 and 可知该空要填的词和 schools 是同一类属的词，方
框中只有 community 一词符合，因此该空填 communities。
80. means。该句话是对上一句 pay it forward 的解释说明，因此该空选 mean，因
为主语是 This，所以该空填动词的第三人称单数形式 means。
81. Instead。由上一句 ... you don’t pay “back” that person ... 和该句 ... you pay
it “forward” to someone new 可知两句呈转折关系，因此该空填 instead，instead 位
于句首，首字母须大写。
82. way。该句中的 This 指的是上文提到的 pay it forward 这种行为，它是一个很
棒的可以让你和他人都感到快乐的“方法”。
83. was created。该句讲的是 Random Acts of Kindness Day 创立的时间和地点，
Random Acts of Kindness Day 和动词 create 之间构成被动关系，且动作发生在过
去，所以该空填 was created。
84. idea。to make the world a better place ... 是 Random Acts of Kindness Day 背后
的“理念”。
85. with。该句意思是“用你的话语使某人振作起来”。介词 with 表示“用…
