五、语法填空(本题共10小题,每小题1分,共计10分)
阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Echidnas(针鼹) only live in Australia or New Guinea. They live in a 51 (peace) area. They are mammals(哺乳动物), 52 do you know they lay eggs? That's really amazing!
Echidnas usually live a long life—some can live up 53 50 years! Some of them can grow to 77 cm long and weigh over 10 kg. They move quite slowly, so they don't run away when they are afraid. Instead, they make their bodies into 54 ball—and they do it fast!
Echidnas sleep in the day or at night. During the warm months of the year, they eat in the day and sleep at night. But if the weather 55 (get) very hot, they sleep in the day and wake up at night! You won't hear 56 (they), though, because they move very quietly. In winter, echidnas carefully dig 57 (hole) under the ground and stay there. Some of them 58 (use) the same place since they were born.
So, what do echidnas eat? They eat small animals and insects. They don't wait patiently for insects to pass by, however. They dig hard in the ground 59 (find) them! Echidnas can catch insects 60 (easy) with their tongues(舌头)—they are 15 cm long!

51. peaceful 52. but 53. to 54. a 55. gets 56. them 57. holes 58. have used 59. to find 60. easily

【分析】
做语法填空时，先通读短文理解大意，再逐个分析每个空的前后语境，判断所需的词性、逻辑关系、固定搭配或时态等，结合括号内提示词或上下文确定答案：
1. 51空后是名词area，需用形容词修饰，将名词peace转换为形容词；
2. 52空前后是转折关系的两个分句，需用转折连词；
3. 53空考查固定搭配，结合语境判断搭配结构；
4. 54空后是单数可数名词ball，表泛指需用不定冠词；
5. 55空是if引导的条件状语从句，根据主语的单复数确定动词形式；
6. 56空前是动词hear，后面需接人称代词宾格；
7. 57空前是动词dig，hole是可数名词，结合语境用复数；
8. 58空后有since引导的时间状语从句，主句需用现在完成时；
9. 59空表示动作的目的，用不定式结构；
10. 60空修饰动词catch，需用副词形式。
【解析】
51. 修饰名词area，需用形容词，peace的形容词是peaceful；
52. 前后分句为转折关系，用连词but；
53. 固定搭配live up to意为“多达”，填to；
54. 单数可数名词ball表泛指，用不定冠词a；
55. if条件句中主语weather是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用gets；
56. 动词hear后接宾格，they的宾格是them；
57. hole是可数名词，此处表多个洞，用复数holes；
58. since引导时间状语从句，主句用现在完成时，主语为复数，故用have used；
59. 表目的用不定式to find；
60. 修饰动词catch用副词，easy的副词是easily。
【答案】
51. peaceful 52. but 53. to 54. a 55. gets 56. them 57. holes 58. have used 59. to find 60. easily

六、书面表达(本题共1小题,共计20分)
61.假设你是李华,近期班级将举办“成长分享会”,请你根据以下提示,写一篇题为“My Valuable Growth This Term”的短文,向同学们分享你的成长经历。

要求:(1)文中不得出现真实姓名、学校等信息;(2)100词左右;(3)短文开头已给出,不计入总词数。
This term has brought me great growth, and I'm glad to share it with you.

61. One possible version:
This term has brought me great growth, and I'm glad to share it with you. First, I read The Little Prince. It taught me to cherish the simple, true connections with others, which made me more caring. Then, I learnt to cook tomato egg noodles—now I can make a warm meal for my family, feeling proud of myself.
I also learnt to play basketball. I also overcame my fear of maths. By doing extra exercises and asking teachers for help, I got better grades and became more confident in facing difficulties.
These experiences let me know that growth comes from small, steady efforts.
(89 words)

【分析】
