A. while B. since C. before D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：从2002年央视“感动中国”活动开始至今，已经过去了十多年。 考查连词辨析。while当……时；since自从；before在……之前；when当……时。根据“More than ten years has passed...the CCTV event Touching China took place in 2002.”可知，此处是“现在完成时+since+一般过去时”结构，故选B。 2. There is no doubt _________ the book The Diary of a Young Girl is ________ again and again. A. whether; well worth reading B. that; well worth reading C. that; very worth to read D. if; very worth to read 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：毫无疑问，《一个少女的日记》这本书非常值得一读再读。 考查同位语从句连接词和形容词短语固定搭配。whether是否；that作为从句引导词无含义；if不用于同位语从句；well worth reading非常值得阅读；观察第二空选项和空格前的“is”可知考查的是worth的固定用法be worth doing，排除CD。根据“There is no doubt that”句型和后文可知，从句内容不缺成分，第一空后面引导的是同位语从句，且句子意思无含义缺失。故选B。 3 -Can you tell me______ Huang Hua will give us a speech this afternoon? -Yes, he will. He is the top student_______ we all admire. A. that; whether B. what; which C. that; which D. whether; that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】D考查关系词辨析。—你能否告诉我黄华今天下午是否要给我们作报告？—是的，他会的。他是我们都钦佩的顶尖学生。that在宾语从句中不作成分，没有词义；第一空后面跟宾语从句表示不确定，用连接词whether引导；第二空修饰名词students的定语从句由关系代词that引导。因为先行词是指人的词，which指物，故排除；故选D。 4. —Look!

A. lively; lively B. alive; alive C. alive; lively D. lively; alive 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——看！在漫长的冬日过后，树上有这么多野鸟。——是的。许多濒危鸟类仍然活着，现在森林是生机勃勃。 考查形容词辨析。alive有“活的、有生命的”意思，与dead意义相反，作定语时alive只能置于名词后，或作表语；lively有“活泼的、快活的、有生机的，生动的”等意思，可以指人或物，可作定语或标语，但它没有“活着的”意思。结合句意和选项可知答案是C。 5. Now waste from daily life in the city of Shanghai ________ to be separated into four different groups. A. is requiring B. is required C. was required D. required 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在，上海市日常生活垃圾被要求分为四类。 考查被动语态。is requiring要求，现在进行时；is required被要求，一般现在时的被动语态；was required被要求，一般过去时的被动语态；required要求，一般过去时；根据句意理解可知，句子主语waste与谓语动词require之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态；句中的时间是now，所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态，故选B。 6.

A. preferred; to being B. preferred; rather than C. preferred; than being D. preferred to; to being 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位教授宁愿给学生讲课，也不愿偶尔被邀请参加会议。 考查动词短语。prefer doing sth. to doing sth.=prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿……而不……”，为固定用法；根据第一空后动名词“giving”可知，此处应用prefer doing sth. to doing sth.。故选A。 7. —Let’s go to the dragon boat race, ________ we’ll miss the fun of the festival. —That sounds great A. but B. so C. or D. unless 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们去看赛龙舟吧，否则我们将会错失节日的乐趣。——听起来很棒。 考查连词辨析。but但是；so所以；or否则；unless除非。根据“Let’s go to the dragon boat race…we’ll miss the fun of the festival.”可知，句子的句式为“祈使句+or+陈述句”，or“否则，不然”表示在以祈使句为条件下的相反假设，表示“一起去看龙舟赛，不然就错失了节日乐趣”。故选C。 8. —Jim, I have ________ in finishing so much work. —Don’t worry. I can help you. A. difficulty B. experience C. ability D. success 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Jim，我很难完成这么多工作。——不要担心。我可以帮助你。 考查名词辨析。difficulty困难；experience经验，经历；ability能力；success成功。根据下面的答语中“I can help you”可知，说话人表示他有困难，使用的是have difficulty in doing sth.“做某事有困难”。故选A。 9. — Surgeons can now use robotic machines in operations. — That’s true.

We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes. We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on. Certain physical traits are fully inherited (遗传), such as blue eyes and knobby knees. About 25,000 to 35,000 genes (基因) are in a single cell in the human body. These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children. Many traits exist between inheritance and development — the interaction with environment. One example is body shape. It tends to be passed down from parents. But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops. Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and influence of environment. So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited. For example, if you’re really great at video games, it’s not because your parents passed down the skills in genes. It’s because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself. If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well. Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing. Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination. That is inherited. What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you. You can pierce your nose or get a tattoo (纹身) — it doesn’t matter how much you change your body during the lifetime. None of those things will turn into genetic material to be passed down to the next generation. However, if your children grow up in an environment with role models who are pierced and covered in tattoos, they are more likely to get piercings and tattoos! 26. is a physical trait that is fully inherited. A. The eye color B. The special diet C. The body shape D. The pierced nose 27. What does the underlined word “That ” refer to ? A. Video game playing. B. Advantageous brains. C. The shape of your brain. D. Your hand-eye coordination. 28. According to the passage, the writer believes that . A. character traits can hardly change during the lifetime B. the skills of video game playing are passed down to kids C. a kid’s hand-eye coordination isn’t related to inheritance D. environment plays an important role in traits development 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why are Traits Important? B. How does Inheritance Influence Traits? C. Where do Traits Come from? D. What are Physical and Character Traits? 【答案】26. A 27. D 28. D 29. C 【解析】 【分析】本文主要说明了人的特性是怎样形成的，有遗传，也有周围环境的影响。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Certain physical traits are fully inherited (遗传), such as blue eyes and knobby knees.”可知眼睛的颜色是可以遗传的。故选A。 【27题详解】 词义推断题。That是指代上文中的事物，根据“Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination.”可知你出生的时候就有一个很强大的大脑，可以使你的手眼协调。可推测这种手眼协调是可以遗传的，因此That指代的是“Your hand-eye coordination.”。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited.”可知人的很多特性是后天会学习、改变的，而不是靠遗传，因此A选项是错误的；根据“if you're really great at video games, it's not because your parents passed down the skills in genes”可知你玩游戏厉害并不是父母遗传给你的，因此B选项是错误的；根据“Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination. That's inherited”可知手眼协调是遗传的，因此C选项是错误的；根据“But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops.”可知环境在人的特性发展中起重要作用，因此D选项是正确的。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文知整篇文章都在围绕人特性是怎么形成的，有遗传，有的是受环境的影响。并给我们举例说明那些是遗传，那些受环境的影响，并没有提到特性的重要性、遗传对特性的影响和身体与性格的特性。故选C。 D My name is Luis. Two weeks ago on Saturday my friend Justin and I were biking along Riverside Trail. All at once Justin shouted, “There’s something sparking under those bushes!” We started poking around. I spotted something shining and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! It’s a wallet with jewels on it.” After I picked it up, we saw it had imitation jewels that reflected (反射) the sunlight. “Let’s see if there is identification,” I said. “We should try to find the owner.” We found photos, some money, and a library card for Mary Johnson. Justin said, “We can find a phone number on the Internet.” We headed for the computer at Justin’s house and searched for “Johnson” in a directory for our town. We found eight Mary Johnsons and two M. Johnsons! Justin asked, “Should we throw in the towel?” I said, “No, we shouldn’t give up. Making phone calls might not work anyway. We should look for other clues first because she may live in another town, or she may have an unlisted number.” We looked at the photos. One was old. Another was of a boy about two years old with “William, 2019” in handwriting on the back. A third photo showed a girl about seven in front of Mount Rushmore, and “Annalee, 2019” was written on the back. Justin guessed, “Those two must be Mary Johnson’s children.” I said, “On Monday we can ask teachers at school if they know Annalee Johnson.” Justin said, “That’s a long time for Mary Johnson to wait for her wallet, and maybe Annalee goes to another school in town, so let’s look for other clues.” We went through the wallet again and found an appointment card for an eye examination. The doctor’s office was in a mall in town, and the appointment was for two o’clock on Saturday afternoon—that same day! I said, “We have to get to the mall soon. We have no time to lose.” Justin said, “I’ll ask my mom to drive us.” We got to the mall at exactly three minutes before two and sat down in the waiting room. In a few minutes, a woman walked in and said, “I have a two o’clock appointment. My name is Mary Johnson.” Justin and I introduced ourselves and showed her the wallet. Her eyes lit up. She said, “What a relief! I have been beside myself!” Mrs. Johnson thanked us over and over. She was elated to have back her money and the photos of her children and great-grandparents. After we explained where we found the wallet, she said, “I took the children for a bike ride this morning. Annalee rode a bike, but William was in a cart attached to my bike. He must have found the wallet in my bag and tossed it from the cart.” She added, “You should have a reward.” and handed each of us five dollars. It was worth missing out bike ride! 30. What is the most important problem in the passage? A. Mary Johnson has a common last name. B There are too many schools to check. C. The boys want to find the owner of the wallet. D. The boys must get to the mall before Mary Johnson arrives. 31. Which detail explains why Luis spots the wallet? A. It contains a library card. B. It has imitation jewels that sparkle. C. The boys are biking on Riverside Trail. D. Mary Johnson took her children for a bike ride. 32. What is a reason they boys give up the plan to telephone? A. There is not enough time. B. There are too many Mary Johnsons. C. Justin’s computer has broken down. D. They would rather finish the bike ride. 33. How are they boys as problem solvers? A. Justin is a better detective. B. Luis is more ready to give up. C. Both like to follow clues to solve a problem. D. Both want to make all the decisions about what to do. 【答案】30. C 31. B 32. B 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Luis和Justin在骑自行车时捡到了一个钱包，然后利用钱包里的各种线索，通过不同的方法，最终找到了失主Mary Johnson的故事。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“We should try to find the owner.”可知，捡到了一个钱包，最重要的事情应该是尝试去找到这个钱包的主人。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I spotted something shining...”和“After I picked it up, we saw it had imitation jewels that reflected (反射) the sunlight.”可知，“我”看到了有东西在闪烁，捡起来后才知道是那个钱包上有人造宝石在反射太阳光，所以“我”能发现那个钱包是因为钱包上有会发光的人造宝石。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“We found eight Mary Johnsons and two M. Johnsons!”和“Making phone calls might not work anyway. We should look for other clues first...”可知，名为Mary Johnson的人太多了，我们在电话号码簿上找到了八个Mary Johnson和两个M. Johnson，所以一个一个去打电话可能行不通，只能先找其他的线索。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We found photos, some money, and a library card for Mary Johnson. Justin said, ‘We can find a phone number on the Internet.’”和“We went through the wallet again and found an appointment card for an eye examination. The doctor’s office was in a mall in town...I said, ‘We have to get to the mall soon. We have no time to lose.’”可知，Luis和Justin都喜欢跟着线索来解决问题。故选C。 五、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据以下内容，从内容后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University. ____34____ She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University. ____35____ For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. And these experiences make me grow and become better.” ____36____ He refused to accept money that was given by others and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have. Such personalities are important for growth. ____37____ Not everything goes well all the time. A man can go through difficulties only when he is strong and optimistic. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes. We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic. Few of them can choose their lifestyles. ____38____ That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them. A.

One ice-cream story is about a boy and his robot in the future. Another is about a father and daughter who create an ice-cream machine.

Its jacket（护封）turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’re trying to write to please someone else, you might not get it right. Then no one’s happy,” he says.

We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the word like music. They listen to music, they dance to music, and they learn to play musical instruments. Music isn’t only a combination（结合体）of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects（反映）life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. Folk music appeared long ago, but it is still live. Folk songs are very pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associate with the music of the past. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. Britain has produced popular music stars than any other country. British groups often set new trends in music. New styles, groups and singers continue to appear. Many of the new bands have been able to use changes in technology to develop their music, such as computerized drum machines and other electronic instruments. People’s musical interests differ from pop and rock music to classical music and opera. My favourite style music is pop music because it is full of energy. When I listen to pop music, it makes me remember happy times. The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy. When I listen to classical music, it presents to my mind pictures of dark days. Music attracts our hearts. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic of inspiration. 23. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Several types of music. B. Different musical tastes. C.

We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes. We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on. Certain physical traits are fully inherited (遗传), such as blue eyes and knobby knees. About 25,000 to 35,000 genes (基因) are in a single cell in the human body. These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children. Many traits exist between inheritance and development — the interaction with environment. One example is body shape. It tends to be passed down from parents. But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops. Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and influence of environment. So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited. For example, if you’re really great at video games, it’s not because your parents passed down the skills in genes. It’s because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself. If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well. Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing. Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination. That is inherited. What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you. You can pierce your nose or get a tattoo (纹身) — it doesn’t matter how much you change your body during the lifetime.

What are Physical and Character Traits? D My name is Luis. Two weeks ago on Saturday my friend Justin and I were biking along Riverside Trail. All at once Justin shouted, “There’s something sparking under those bushes!” We started poking around. I spotted something shining and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! It’s a wallet with jewels on it.” After I picked it up, we saw it had imitation jewels that reflected (反射) the sunlight. “Let’s see if there is identification,” I said. “We should try to find the owner.” We found photos, some money, and a library card for Mary Johnson. Justin said, “We can find a phone number on the Internet.” We headed for the computer at Justin’s house and searched for “Johnson” in a directory for our town. We found eight Mary Johnsons and two M. Johnsons! Justin asked, “Should we throw in the towel?” I said, “No, we shouldn’t give up. Making phone calls might not work anyway. We should look for other clues first because she may live in another town, or she may have an unlisted number.” We looked at the photos. One was old. Another was of a boy about two years old with “William, 2019” in handwriting on the back. A third photo showed a girl about seven in front of Mount Rushmore, and “Annalee, 2019” was written on the back. Justin guessed, “Those two must be Mary Johnson’s children.” I said, “On Monday we can ask teachers at school if they know Annalee Johnson.” Justin said, “That’s a long time for Mary Johnson to wait for her wallet, and maybe Annalee goes to another school in town, so let’s look for other clues.” We went through the wallet again and found an appointment card for an eye examination. The doctor’s office was in a mall in town, and the appointment was for two o’clock on Saturday afternoon—that same day! I said, “We have to get to the mall soon. We have no time to lose.” Justin said, “I’ll ask my mom to drive us.” We got to the mall at exactly three minutes before two and sat down in the waiting room. In a few minutes, a woman walked in and said, “I have a two o’clock appointment. My name is Mary Johnson.” Justin and I introduced ourselves and showed her the wallet. Her eyes lit up. She said, “What a relief! I have been beside myself!” Mrs Johnson thanked us over and over. She was elated to have back her money and the photos of her children and great-grandparents. After we explained where we found the wallet, she said, “I took the children for a bike ride this morning. Annalee rode a bike, but William was in a cart attached to my bike. He must have found the wallet in my bag and tossed it from the cart.” She added, “You should have a reward.” and handed each of us five dollars. It was worth missing out bike ride! 30. What is the most important problem in the passage? A. Mary Johnson has a common last name. B. There are too many schools to check. C. The boys want to find the owner of the wallet. D.

One ice-cream story is about a boy and his robot in the future. Another is about a father and daughter who create an ice-cream machine. My favorite story in the book is about two sisters, Pam and Penelope, who try to enter an ice-cream-eating competition. As well as the stories above, there are four more stories in the books. Its writer, Adam Rubin, has a lot of experience when it comes to writing about food. His most famous children’s book is Dragons Love Tacos. “I like to write about food because it’s loved by people of all different cultures,” Rubin says. “It’s something we all have something to do with.” Rubin hopes The Ice Cream Machine inspires kids to write. Its jacket（护封）turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’re trying to write to please someone else, you might not get it right. Then no one’s happy,” he says. I recommend The Ice Cream Machine to anyone who likes creative and fun storytelling. The book goes down just like ice cream: smooth, enjoyable, and with a pleasant aftertaste（回味）. 68.
