A
From a seaside stroll along the white cliffs to endless green landscape, lace up your hiking boots and head out on one of these beautiful countryside walks within easy reach of London.
Goring Gap and the Thames Path
If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural ramble, this stretch of the 184-mile Thames Path is far from boring. It starts in the pretty Oxfordshire village. The footpath follows the curve of the river as it flows south, winding past wildflower meadows, woods and the Hartslock Nature Reserve, which is home to red kites (红鸢) and rare orchids.
Epping Forest’s Oak Trail
Get lost in ancient woods just outside the city. Marked with green-labelled posts, Essex’s Oak Trail takes walkers towards 6,000-acre Epping Forest’s hidden northern regions, where twisted beeches (山毛榉树) have grown massive crowns. You also pass a deer preserve and Iron Age earthworks-legend has it that Boudicca battled the Romans here.
Box Hill
Admire the glorious views, and then escape the crowds on Juniper Top and Bottom. But first you’ve got to hop across the River Mole’s 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the trail begins. The endorphins (内啡肽) are definitely pumping by the time you reach Juniper Bottom-maybe that’s how it got the nickname “Happy Valley”.
The Kentish Coast
Fill your lungs with salty sea air on this walk around the Kentish coast which takes in the three historic coastal towns passing through several other scenic and less populated bays. You may choose between walking along the top of the chalk cliffs or the walkways at beach level. You’ll also pass plenty of former smugglers’ caves that are great for rock pooling and fossil hunting, and there are beachside cafes dotted along the route.
1. Which walk is the best choice for a college student interested in history and legends?
A. Box Hill. B. Goring Gap and Thames Path.
C. The Kentish Coast. D. Epping Forest’s Oak Trail.
2. What can visitors do if they choose the route of The Kentish Coast?
A. Explore the hidden northern regions.
B. Escape the crowds and relax oneself thoroughly.
C. Walk in the historic coastal towns.
D. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the smugglers’ caves.
3. Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A. A geography textbook. B. A travel advertisement.
C. A travel journal. D. A newspaper report.
B
It was 11 p. m. when Alex saw a woman standing by the railing on the Main Street Bridge, peering down at the rushing river below. Maybe she was fishing, Alex thought. He continued driving to his home for some tools as his friend’s car had broken down. Tools in hand, he climbed into his car.
Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge. Something about that woman didn’t sit right. Why would she be fishing this late at night in May when it was still cold in this city? As he crossed the bridge, Alex saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked his car with the hazards (警示灯) flashing, blocking one of the four lanes (车道). In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take note and help.
He stepped out and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. “Hey, what’s going on?” Alex called out. The woman didn’t answer or turn around. Alex stepped closer, asking again, “What’s going on?” The woman remained silent, but Alex kept probing (追问), eventually pulling from her that she was going through a particularly rough patch. She was jobless, not doing well in school—in short, life wasn’t working out as she’d hoped.
“Not everything goes as planned,” agreed Alex. He started talking about the ups and downs in his life. As he talked, he inched closer. For the next hour he found enough topics of conversation to keep the woman engaged and even laughing. She grew comfortable enough to let him get within a few feet of her.
Then a switch seemingly went off. Without warning, she climbed onto the railing. Alex reached for her swiftly and exhausted all his strength to pull her off. Suddenly, the police arrived. Soon, the woman was taken to a hospital.
Sadly, this was not the first time someone tried to end it all on one of the city’s bridges. What was unusual was what Alex did.
4. Why did Alex park his car with the hazards flashing?
A To check what was going on. B. To get another helping hand.
C. To block one of the four lanes. D. To help his friend fix the broken car.
5. Which of the following best describes Alex’s personality?
A. Kind and generous. B. Brave and determined.
C. Helpful and patient. D. Ambitious and warm-hearted.
6. What can we learn about the woman from the passage?
A. The woman did well at school but was out of work.
B. The woman remained silent throughout.
C. The woman showed no interest in Alex’s topics of conversation.
D. The woman’s life didn’t go on as well as she had hoped.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A Few Kind Words B. An Anxious Night
C. A Warm-hearted Man D. An Unforgettable Experience
C
The art of writing by hand has a great history. From Emily Dickinson’s elegant cursive, to Stephen King’s neat block lettering, many of the most famous and important works of literature have been written by hand, reports Forbes, even when, as in King’s case, electronic word processing was an option. Now, studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous benefits in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of the writing itself.
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the appearance of the typewriter in the mid 1880’s, even more so due to computers. In fact, many schools in the United States no longer require teaching cursive as a part of the core curriculums. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is passe, it actually has a number of important benefits.
Writing by hands’ cognitive benefits are numerous and there are many studies that can attest to that. A 2014 study from the Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand, leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures verbatim (逐字), as opposed to processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These benefits actually translate to how you recall the information. In this case writing it by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams. A study led by Dr. Virginia Berninger, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, suggests that children wrote longer and more complex essays when they were writing by hand, as opposed to using a keyboard. So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one, consider the possibility that it might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead.
8. What does the author intended to do in paragraph 1?
A. Introduce the new finding of the study. B. Describe the history of the writing art.
C. Show the benefits of writing by hand. D. Tell the story of some famous writers.
9 What does the underlined word “passe” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Necessary. B. Out-of-date. C. Essential. D. Fundamental.
10. What can we infer from the findings from the Association for Psychological Science?
A. Taking notes on a laptop contributes to deeper processing of the material learned.
B. When using a laptop, students will often type out lectures in a whole new light.
C. Writing by hand makes people process information in their own language.
D. Typing out lectures can help people reword information.
11. How should you express your love to your loved one?
A. By typing the e-mail. B. By writing by yourself.
C. By writing longer essays. D. By reading a poem.
D
A report by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is calling for urgent efforts to strengthen regulation of the seafood sector, fearing that the love for seafood is killing off dozens of species that rely on it for food.
Kate Norgrove, Executive Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at WWF-UK, said: “The ocean is the blue heart of our planet and we ignore its health at our peril. Protecting this precious resource should be the top priority of every single fishery around the world.”
The report, titled “Risky Seafood Business”, has quantified (确定……的数量) the total volume of seafood eaten by Britons for the first time. It claims that in 2019, 887,000 tonnes of seafood was eaten by people in the UK — the equivalent (等量物) of 5.2 billion portions of fish and chips. Whitefish, including haddock and cod, accounted for almost a third of the fish consumed. The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed outside of UK waters.
The report looked at the supply chains of 33 popular seafood items, including haddock, trout, and mussels. Some of these species were found to be relatively low risk in terms of production and consumption. However, others — including swordfish, tuna, and some crab species — were assessed as a high risk across multiple areas, including climate and ecosystem impacts. Across all species groups, more than 250 Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) species have been directly impacted by fisheries supplying UK markets, according to the report. This includes whales, dolphins, seabirds, and sharks.
Based on the findings, WWF is calling for a “concerted and collaborative effort” to address these issues and to ensure all of the seafood produced and consumed in the UK comes from sustainable sources by 2030.
If you’re trying to be more sustainable, the Marine Conservation Society suggests there are several simple seafood swaps (替换物) you can make. This includes having mackerel instead of tuna, and farmed trout instead of salmon. Meanwhile, if you usually enjoy mussels, it may be more sustainable to go for prawns.
12. What can be inferred from what Kate Norgrove said?
A. Protecting the ocean is the best choice of every single fishery.
B. Ignoring the health of the ocean will endanger our own well-being.
C. Protecting those precious resources is of great importance.
D. If we ignore our health, it will come at a great cost to our life.
13. According to Paragraph 3 and 4, what do we know about the report?
A. Some species were found to be high risk in terms of production and consumption.
B. The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed in UK waters.
C. The total amount of seafood consumed in the UK equals the portions of fish and chips.
D. Over 250 species have been directly affected by fisheries supplying UK markets.
14. How are the facts stated in the report?
A. By listing figures. B. By explaining reasons.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By making predictions.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Britain’s love for seafood is threatening many species in the ocean.
B. A WWF report calls on Britons to stop killing off species in the ocean.
C. WWF is urging immediate action on stronger seafood regulation.
D. Protecting the blue heart of our planet is a tough task.

We all know that it’s important to stay healthy, and we often link health to exercise and diet. ____16____
Myopia or shortsightedness is becoming more common. It has reached epidemic levels in East Asia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, where approaching 90% of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted. ____17____ According to research looking at things that are close to us, such as books, for long periods of time damages our eyes. This is especially true while our eyes are still growing. Besides, looking at screens for extended periods can cause harm as well.
So, what can we do to protect our eyes? ____18____ However, this isn’t always possible at school. In this case, we can follow a practical rule called the 20-20-20 rule. This says that every 20 minutes, we should spend 20 seconds looking at something at least 20 feet (six meters) away. This will help us to exercise our eyes properly.
____19____ There are many other common eye diseases, such as dry eye disease. This chronic problem can be caused by environmental factors. Some of these include blue light from screens as well as exposure to wind and air conditioning. Dry eye disease can result in burning pain and the feeling of something in the eye. ____20____ What you might need to do is to use hot compresses (敷布), carefully wash your eyelids and eyelashes, and use eye drops. However, there are different types of dry eye disease. So, if you think you have this problem, speak to your doctor for advice.
A. The underlying reasons for this trend are clear.
B. That may be related to reading for extended periods of time.
C. As a part of this, we must consider the health of our eyes, too.
D. Myopia isn’t the only problem we can have with our eyes, though.
E. Once this problem appears, it can’t be cured, but it can be managed.
F. Therefore, there is a concern that the health of our eyes might be at risk.
G. The clearest thing is to spend more time on activities involving looking at varying distances.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Resting on my sofa after school, I gazed at my shelf of glistening gold medals and trophies (奖杯). A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it.
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something.
During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition.

The day of the basketball match came.

If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural ramble, this stretch of the 184-mile Thames Path is far from boring. It starts in the pretty Oxfordshire village. The footpath follows the curve of the river as it flows south, winding past wildflower meadows, woods and the Hartslock Nature Reserve, which is home to red kites (红鸢) and rare orchids.
Epping Forest’s Oak Trail
Get lost in ancient woods just outside the city. Marked with green-labelled posts, Essex’s Oak Trail takes walkers towards 6,000-acre Epping Forest’s hidden northern regions, where twisted beeches (山毛榉树) have grown massive crowns. You also pass a deer preserve and Iron Age earthworks-legend has it that Boudicca battled the Romans here.
Box Hill
Admire the glorious views, and then escape the crowds on Juniper Top and Bottom. But first you’ve got to hop across the River Mole’s 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the trail begins. The endorphins (内啡肽) are definitely pumping by the time you reach Juniper Bottom-maybe that’s how it got the nickname “Happy Valley”.
The Kentish Coast
Fill your lungs with salty sea air on this walk around the Kentish coast, which takes in the three historic coastal towns passing through several other scenic and less populated bays. You may choose between walking along the top of the chalk cliffs or the walkways at beach level. You’ll also pass plenty of former smugglers’ caves that are great for rock pooling and fossil hunting, and there are beachside cafes dotted along the route.
1. Which walk is the best choice for a college student interested in history and legends?
A. Box Hill. B. Goring Gap and Thames Path.

It was 11 p. m. when Alex saw a woman standing by the railing on the Main Street Bridge, peering down at the rushing river below. Maybe she was fishing, Alex thought. He continued driving to his home for some tools as his friend’s car had broken down. Tools in hand, he climbed into his car.
Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge. Something about that woman didn’t sit right. Why would she be fishing this late at night in May when it was still cold in this city? As he crossed the bridge, Alex saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked his car with the hazards (警示灯) flashing, blocking one of the four lanes (车道). In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take note and help.
He stepped out and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. “Hey, what’s going on?” Alex called out. The woman didn’t answer or turn around. Alex stepped closer, asking again, “What’s going on?” The woman remained silent, but Alex kept probing (追问), eventually pulling from her that she was going through a particularly rough patch. She was jobless, not doing well in school—in short, life wasn’t working out as she’d hoped.
“Not everything goes as planned,” agreed Alex. He started talking about the ups and downs in his life. As he talked, he inched closer. For the next hour he found enough topics of conversation to keep the woman engaged and even laughing. She grew comfortable enough to let him get within a few feet of her.
Then a switch seemingly went off. Without warning, she climbed onto the railing. Alex reached for her swiftly and exhausted all his strength to pull her off. Suddenly, the police arrived. Soon, the woman was taken to a hospital.
Sadly, this was not the first time someone tried to end it all on one of the city’s bridges. What was unusual was what Alex did.
4. Why did Alex park his car with the hazards flashing?
A. To check what was going on. B. To get another helping hand.
C. To block one of the four lanes. D. To help his friend fix the broken car.
5. Which of the following best describes Alex’s personality?
A. Kind and generous. B. Brave and determined.
C. Helpful and patient. D. Ambitious and warm-hearted.
6. What can we learn about the woman from the passage?
A. The woman did well at school but was out of work.
B. The woman remained silent throughout.
C. The woman showed no interest in Alex’s topics of conversation.
D. The woman’s life didn’t go on as well as she had hoped.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A Few Kind Words B. An Anxious Night
C. A Warm-hearted Man D. An Unforgettable Experience
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了Alex晚上11点回家的路上,看到一个陌生的女人站在桥上,感觉事情不太对劲,于是把车停在桥上去查看情况,和陌生女人聊天得知她的情况很糟糕,并用自己的人生遭遇去开导和安慰这位陌生的女人。

Suddenly, the police arrived. Soon, the woman was taken to a hospital. (亚历克斯迅速伸手去抓她,用尽全身力气想把她拉开。突然,警察来了。很快,这名妇女被送往医院。)”在亚历克斯的开导下那位妇女最终得救了。可知,亚历克斯是有耐心的和乐于助人的。故选C。

The art of writing by hand has a great history. From Emily Dickinson’s elegant cursive, to Stephen King’s neat block lettering, many of the most famous and important works of literature have been written by hand, reports Forbes, even when, as in King’s case, electronic word processing was an option. Now, studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous benefits in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of the writing itself.
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the appearance of the typewriter in the mid 1880’s, even more so due to computers. In fact, many schools in the United States no longer require teaching cursive as a part of the core curriculums. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is passe, it actually has a number of important benefits.
Writing by hands’ cognitive benefits are numerous and there are many studies that can attest to that. A 2014 study from the Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand, leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures verbatim (逐字), as opposed to processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These benefits actually translate to how you recall the information. In this case writing it by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams. A study led by Dr. Virginia Berninger, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, suggests that children wrote longer and more complex essays when they were writing by hand, as opposed to using a keyboard. So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one, consider the possibility that it might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead.
8. What does the author intended to do in paragraph 1?
A. Introduce the new finding of the study. B. Describe the history of the writing art.
C. Show the benefits of writing by hand. D. Tell the story of some famous writers.
9. What does the underlined word “passe” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Necessary. B. Out-of-date. C. Essential. D. Fundamental.
10. What can we infer from the findings from the Association for Psychological Science?
A. Taking notes on a laptop contributes to deeper processing of the material learned.
B. When using a laptop, students will often type out lectures in a whole new light.
C. Writing by hand makes people process information in their own language.
D. Typing out lectures can help people reword information.
11. How should you express your love to your loved one?
A. By typing the e-mail. B. By writing by yourself.
C. By writing longer essays. D. By reading a poem.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了手写在记忆、大脑发育、以及写作本身的好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now, studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous benefits in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of the writing itself. (现在,研究表明,手写在记忆、大脑发育、甚至写作本身的质量方面都有巨大的好处。)”可知,本段主要介绍一项新的研究。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the appearance of the typewriter in the mid 1880’s, even more so due to computers. In fact, many schools in the United States no longer require teaching cursive as a part of the core curriculums. (有人可能会说,自从19世纪80年代中期打字机出现以来,手写已经成为一种垂死的艺术,而电脑的出现更是如此。事实上,美国的许多学校不再要求将草书作为核心课程的一部分。)”说明的是手写已经成为一门垂死的艺术,所以画线的词应该指的是“手写已经过时了”。Out-of-date意为“过时的”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Writing by hands’ cognitive benefits are numerous and there are many studies that can attest to that. A 2014 study from the Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand, leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures verbatim(逐字), as opposed to processing information and rewording it in their own language. (手写对认知有很多好处,有很多研究可以证明这一点。心理科学协会2014年的一项研究表明,与手写笔记相比,在笔记本电脑上记笔记会导致对所学材料的浅层处理。这是因为当使用笔记本电脑时,学生们经常会逐字打印讲课内容,而不是处理信息并用自己的语言重新表述。)”可知,心理科学协会手写能够帮助人们处理信息并用自己的语言重新表述。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one, consider the possibility that it might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead. (所以,下次当你坐下来给你爱的人写电子邮件时,考虑一下,如果你写一封手写的信,可能对你的大脑更好。)”可知,我们可以通过手写信的方式给自己爱的人写信。故选B。
D
A report by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is calling for urgent efforts to strengthen regulation of the seafood sector, fearing that the love for seafood is killing off dozens of species that rely on it for food.
Kate Norgrove, Executive Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at WWF-UK, said: “The ocean is the blue heart of our planet and we ignore its health at our peril. Protecting this precious resource should be the top priority of every single fishery around the world.”
The report, titled “Risky Seafood Business”, has quantified (确定……的数量) the total volume of seafood eaten by Britons for the first time. It claims that in 2019, 887,000 tonnes of seafood was eaten by people in the UK — the equivalent (等量物) of 5.2 billion portions of fish and chips. Whitefish, including haddock and cod, accounted for almost a third of the fish consumed. The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed outside of UK waters.
The report looked at the supply chains of 33 popular seafood items, including haddock, trout, and mussels. Some of these species were found to be relatively low risk in terms of production and consumption. However, others — including swordfish, tuna, and some crab species — were assessed as a high risk across multiple areas, including climate and ecosystem impacts. Across all species groups, more than 250 Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) species have been directly impacted by fisheries supplying UK markets, according to the report. This includes whales, dolphins, seabirds, and sharks.
Based on the findings, WWF is calling for a “concerted and collaborative effort” to address these issues and to ensure all of the seafood produced and consumed in the UK comes from sustainable sources by 2030.
If you’re trying to be more sustainable, the Marine Conservation Society suggests there are several simple seafood swaps (替换物) you can make. This includes having mackerel instead of tuna, and farmed trout instead of salmon. Meanwhile, if you usually enjoy mussels, it may be more sustainable to go for prawns.
12. What can be inferred from what Kate Norgrove said?
A. Protecting the ocean is the best choice of every single fishery.
B. Ignoring the health of the ocean will endanger our own well-being.
C. Protecting those precious resources is of great importance.
D. If we ignore our health, it will come at a great cost to our life.
13. According to Paragraph 3 and 4, what do we know about the report?
A. Some species were found to be high risk in terms of production and consumption.
B. The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed in UK waters.
C. The total amount of seafood consumed in the UK equals the portions of fish and chips.
D. Over 250 species have been directly affected by fisheries supplying UK markets.
14. How are the facts stated in the report?
A. By listing figures. B. By explaining reasons.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By making predictions.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Britain’s love for seafood is threatening many species in the ocean.
B. A WWF report calls on Britons to stop killing off species in the ocean.
C. WWF is urging immediate action on stronger seafood regulation.
D. Protecting the blue heart of our planet is a tough task.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了著名的作家查尔斯·狄更斯对文学的贡献。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1812年,查尔斯·狄更斯出生的那一年,英国出版了66部小说。句子中已经有谓语动词,因此空格处需要填入非谓语动词;publish与novel之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词表示被动。故填published。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:人们写小说已经有一个世纪了——大多数专家认为第一部小说是1719年的《鲁滨逊漂流记》——但没有人想把它作为职业。want to do sth.想要做某事。故填to do。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:许多小说作品没有作者的名字,通常加上“一位女士”之类的东西。根据后句“通常加上“一位女士”之类的东西”可知,此处指的是没有作者的名词。without表示“没有”。故填without。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:小说,在很大程度上,被认为是愚蠢的,不道德的,或者就是纯粹的坏。此处是被看作,所以需要使用被动语态;本句中描述的是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为复数,所以be动词用were。故填were looked。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:1870年,当狄更斯去世时,全世界都在悼念他,因为他是第一位职业作家和出版人,他很有名,很受爱戴,他引领了小说出版和读者数量的爆炸式增长。空格处位于名词之前,因此需要填入形容词性物主代词,修饰名词。故填its。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:1870年,当狄更斯去世时,全世界都在悼念他,因为他是第一位职业作家和出版人,他很有名,很受爱戴,他引领了小说出版和读者数量的爆炸式增长。空格处为定语从句的连接词,且代替先行词在从句中作主语,先行词为人,所以用who。故填who。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:把他从英国文学的万神殿中除名,就像卢浮宫卖掉《蒙娜丽莎》一样没有意义。空格处与后面的短语构成句子的主语,此处表示“把他从英国文学的万神殿中除名”,所以用动名词。故填Removing。
【43题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:狄更斯的写作风格吸引了各行各业的读者,这在一定程度上是对的。空格处需要填入谓语动词;此处描述的事情发生在过去,所以用一般过去时。故填attracted。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:正是由于他的作品掀起了社会、政治和科学进步的浪潮。空格处位于名词之前,因此需要用形容词;science的形容词为scientific,意为“科学的”。故填scientific。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:没有人会知道,是什么样的才华、抱负、精力和运气使狄更斯成为如此杰出的作家。空格处位于单数可数名词之前,因此需要填入冠词,冠词之后的单词首字母发音为辅音音素,所以用a。故填a。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Resting on my sofa after school, I gazed at my shelf of glistening gold medals and trophies (奖杯). A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it.
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something.
During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the basketball match came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition. His voice trembled with emotion as he shared the news, casting a somber mood over the team. Understanding dawned upon us — the upcoming game wasn’t just about winning; it was our last chance to honor Coach Leong’s dedication and years of hard work. We doubled our efforts during practices, focusing on coordination, trust, and passing rather than individual glory. Through sweat and perseverance, we gradually learned to function as a cohesive unit.
The day of the basketball match arrived. For one final pep talk, Coach Leong’s eyes gleamed with a mixture of hope and pride, reminding us that this game was for him, for our school, and most importantly, for ourselves. Stepping onto the court, we played like never before — passing precisely, communicating effectively, and supporting each other at every turn. As the final whistle blew, marking our victory, tears welled up in Coach Leong’s eyes. Holding that championship trophy high, we knew we had not only won the game but also rediscovered the true essence of teamwork.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,主要介绍了作者在放学后坐在沙发上,看到奖杯时引发的回忆。作者在小学五年级时加入篮球队,并经历了多场失败的比赛,原因是团队缺乏合作。在一次训练中,作者和队友因争夺球权而发生冲突,教练对此表示失望,并强调了团队合作的重要性。
