A. when B. if C. unless 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：除非你仔细听，否则你听不懂他说的话。 考查连词辨析。when当……时候；if如果；unless除非。根据“You won’t catch what he says”和下文“you listen carefully”，可知此处表达“除非仔细听，否则听不懂”，故选C。 27. —We can use this special pen to record or take pictures. —Really? Will you please show me ________ it? A. how to use B. what to use C. where to use 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们可以用这种特殊的笔来记录或拍照。——真的吗？你能教我怎么用吗？ 考查疑问词+不定式。how to use如何使用；what to use使用什么；where to use哪里使用。根据“We can use this special pen to record or take pictures.”可知应询问如何使用它，故选A。 28. —The 9th Asian Winter Games will be held in Harbin in 2025. — _________ good news it is! A. What B. What a C. How a 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——第九届亚洲冬季运动会将于2025年在哈尔滨举行。——这是多么好的消息啊！ 考查感叹句。根据“…good news it is!”可知，句子是感叹句，news是不可数名词，其结构为：What+形容词+不可数名词+主谓。故选A。 29.

I can make it myself.”可知，此处表示“是否需要帮助”，故选A。 三、完形填空（共10小题, 计10分） 阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从每题所给A、B、C三个选项中, 选出能填入短文相应空白处的最佳选项. Once there was an old man who lived a lonely life.

Thanks to her great skills, a broken diesel generator (柴油发动机) is brought back to life. Lin is a vlogger. With her “repair shows” she has owned millions of fans. Some like to call her “mechanic Mulan”. But how did the girl learn to repair so many different machines all by herself? Lin grew up in a small village in Zhaotong, Yunnan. It’s a place with high mountains and thick forests. The village is often hit by power cuts (停电). Many people keep a diesel generator in their homes. They turn it on whenever the power is out. Lin developed a strong interest in this “magical machine” from an early age. It led her to finally study engineering in college. One day, Lin saw a popular short video about her hometown. The girl decided to make her own videos. Her first public video showed her building a bamboo house and repairing a generator. The video was not popular as Lin expected, but she didn’t give up. The girl went on to repair different kinds of machines for the villagers. And she has continued to make videos while fixing them. Some repairs may even take a couple of days, but the machine may still refuse to work properly. Lin has to take it apart and try fixing it again. Sometimes, she gets into trouble and has to ask for help. Many fans say it is relaxing to watch an old machine slowly become “young” again in Lin’s hands. Some villagers ask Lin why she didn’t stay in the city and find an office job, just like many other college graduated (毕业生) do. The girl says that she loves her hometown. By helping her neighbors out and trying to make her village a better place, she believes she has found a better way to use her skills. 46. As a vlogger, what is Lin Guo’er famous for? A.

During their visit, the conversation turned to work. The graduates were complaining (抱怨) about their problems and stress in work and in life. After offering coffee to his guests, the teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a coffee pot and a tray, crowded with many different cups: porcelain (陶瓷), glass, plastic and crystal (水晶). Some cups were simple, other ones expensive. The professor asked his students to pick out their cups first. When the graduate picked out their favorite cups, the professor explained, “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.” “Wanting only the best things for yourself is the reason of your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee not the cup. But you consciously (有意识地) chose the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked.”· “Life is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society…they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t determine the quality of life. Sometimes, by focusing only on the cups, we forget to enjoy the taste of coffee. The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have.” Hearing this, the graduated were speech less. They had learned another important life lesson from their old professor—that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about unimportant things. 51.

The girl likes to wear some lipstick and a sweet smile in live broadcasts (直播). In fact, many people know her for repairing machines on her show. Thanks to her great skills, a broken diesel generator (柴油发动机) is brought back to life. Lin is a vlogger. With her “repair shows” she has owned millions of fans. Some like to call her “mechanic Mulan”. But how did the girl learn to repair so many different machines all by herself? Lin grew up in a small village in Zhaotong, Yunnan. It’s a place with high mountains and thick forests. The village is often hit by power cuts (停电). Many people keep a diesel generator in their homes. They turn it on whenever the power is out. Lin developed a strong interest in this “magical machine” from an early age. It led her to finally study engineering in college. One day, Lin saw a popular short video about her hometown. The girl decided to make her own videos. Her first public video showed her building a bamboo house and repairing a generator. The video was not popular as Lin expected, but she didn’t give up. The girl went on to repair different kinds of machines for the villagers. And she has continued to make videos while fixing them. Some repairs may even take a couple of days, but the machine may still refuse to work properly. Lin has to take it apart and try fixing it again.

The graduates were complaining (抱怨) about their problems and stress in work and in life. After offering coffee to his guests, the teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a coffee pot and a tray, crowded with many different cups: porcelain (陶瓷), glass, plastic and crystal (水晶). Some cups were simple, other ones expensive. The professor asked his students to pick out their cups first. When the graduate picked out their favorite cups, the professor explained, “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.” “Wanting only the best things for yourself is the reason of your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee not the cup. But you consciously (有意识地) chose the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked.”· “Life is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society…they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t determine the quality of life. Sometimes, by focusing only on the cups, we forget to enjoy the taste of coffee. The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have.” Hearing this, the graduated were speech less. They had learned another important life lesson from their old professor—that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about unimportant things. 51. In Paragraph 1, the graduated were complaining about their _________. A. problems and stress B. studies and jobs C. coffee and cups D. sadness and happiness 52. The professor offered different kinds of cups to ________.

According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who ________. A. have the best kinds of coffee cups B.
