A. the, the B. a, a C. the, a D. a, the 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得娜娜的英文歌《孤独》怎么样？——我认为这是世界上最好的歌曲。这位歌手的嗓音也很优美。 考查冠词。第一空后有形容词的最高级best，所以该空应用定冠词the；第二空表示泛指“一个”，beautiful是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以该空应用不定冠词a。故选C。 22. —How wide is the Golden Gate Bridge? —It’s ________. A. 90 feet wide B. 90-foot-wide C. 90 foot wide D. 90-feet-wide 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——金门大桥有多宽？——90英尺宽。 考查数词。数词+feet wide表示“有多宽”，注意foot要用复数形式。故选A。 23. — Could you please ________ the door?

A. reached, to get on it B. arrived, to get it on C. arrived, to get on it D. reached, to get it on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：公交车到达时；孩子们迫不及待地要上车。 考查动词辨析及动词辨析。reached到达，及物动词，后需跟宾语；arrived到达，不及物动词，后不跟宾语。根据“When the bus ...”可知，空后无宾语，用arrived，排除A、D选项；couldn’t wait to do sth“迫不及待要做某事”，get on“上车”，为“动词+介词”构成的短语，代词放在介词后面。故选C。 25. —Why is this supermarket always full of people? —Because the things in this supermarket are ________ in other supermarkets. A. more expensive than those B. as expensive as that C. not as expensive as that D. not so expensive as those 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么那家超市总是充满了人？——因为那里的东西没有其他超市的东西贵。 考查形容词及代词指代。根据“supermarket always full of people”可知人们去这家超市是因为这家超市的东西比其他超市便宜，as… as与……一样，not so… as不如……，not so expensive as不如……贵，又根据that代指单数名词，those代指复数名词，这里的代词代指things，因此用those。故选D。 26.

A. costs; spend B. pays; spend C. costs; pay D. spends; pay 【答案】A 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：——去北京环球影城的门票多少钱？——成人票489元，儿童票395元。 考查动词辨析。cost花费钱，主语是物；spend花费时间/钱，主语是人；pay付钱，主语是人。第一处主语是物“An adult ticket”，用costs，排除BD；第二处根据“and you need to...395 yuan on a child ticket.”可知，是“人+spend+钱+on sth.”结构，故选A。 28.

A. are; is B. is; is C. is; are D. are; are 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不仅Millie而且Andy都擅长讲有趣的笑话。——我完全同意，所以他们俩都很幽默。 考查主谓一致。根据“Not only Millie but also Andy”可知，需用not only...but also的就近原则，Andy后用is；both of them表示“他们两个”，谓语动词需用复数，故第二个空填are。故选C。 30. Tom will finish the work ________ next week. A. some time B. sometime C. sometimes D. some times 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆将在下周的某个时间完成这项工作。 考查副词辨析。some time一段时间；sometime某个时间；sometimes有时；some times几次。根据“Tom will finish the work…next week.”可知，此处指的是“某个时间完成这项工作”。故选B。 31.

A. as well B. instead of C. instead D. too 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你没有奶油，就用牛奶代替。 考查副词辨析。as well也；instead of代替，后接被替换掉的、被否定的对象；instead代替，后接被最终选择的对象；too太，也。根据“If you have no cream, use milk...”可知，用牛奶代替。故选C。 35. —Please don’t give up reading English. —________.

Now Jan laughs. “I think you’re mad because my house is just over…” Jan points through the trees to her house but there isn’t any house. “…there!” She doesn’t understand. She looks around her to be sure she’s in the right place. It looks right but everything is wrong. Her house’s beautiful garden is a wild piece of land. And the place where her house stood is empty. 58. Which boy is Tom? A. The boy with long fair hair. B. The boy with glasses. C. The boy with curly hair. D. The boy with a book in his hand. 59. Which is the correct order? a. Jan climbs back up the hill. b. Jan can’t find her house. c. Jan wants to give them some biscuits in exchange. d. Jan becomes angry. A. acdb B. abcd C. cadb D. cdab 60. Why do the boys think Jan is mad? A. Because they think Jan tells a big lie. B. Because the things in the biscuit tin don’t belong to Jan. C. Because Jan asks them to put those things back. D. Because they don’t understand her. 61. How does Jan feel when she sees the empty place? A. Excited. B. Fun. C. Safe. D. Surprised 【答案】58. C 59. C 60. A 61. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《时间胶囊》，本段文字主要讲述了Jan发现找不到她的家。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Jan looks at the boy with curly hair. ‘Tom?...the biscuits?’ Tom asks”可知，Tom是一个头发卷曲的男孩子。故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you give us some biscuits, you can have the biscuit tin.”、第四段“Jan starts climbing back up the hill.”、“At the top of the hill Jan stops suddenly and looks back at them, angry.”和最后一段“And the place where her house stood is empty.”可知，正确的顺序应为“饼干交换——爬山——生气——找不到房子”。故选C。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Because there isn’t any house by the tree. There aren’t any houses near here. The nearest house is Pauly’s and that’s half a mile down the road. Over there.”可知，根据Tom的判断，树的旁边根据没有房子，这与Jan的描述不符，所以他认为Jan在撒谎。故选A。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Now Jan laughs. ‘I think you’re mad because my house is just over…’ Jan points through the trees to her house but there isn’t any house. ‘…there!’”可知，Jan从自信满满地指向她认为房屋所在的地方，到发现没有房子，语气都停顿了，可推断出她很吃惊。故选D。 D Social media (社交媒体) has its positive aspects, but it can also bring some problems. Have you ever been bored and decided to check your We Chat moments, only to find out that your best friend is at the Great Wall or one of your classmates is eating delicious noodles at your favorite restaurant, or one of your basketball teammates is visiting the giant pandas in Sichuan? Have you had the feeling that others are enjoying life more than you are? If your answers are both “Yes”, you are experiencing FOMO—the fear of missing out. Researchers have found that over 75% of young people are experiencing FOMO from time to time. Social media is the main culprit for it. Because it is so easy today for people to see what their friends are doing, eating, buying and talking about. And they are afraid of missing out on important and new information when they are away from social networks. However, it is impossible for us to enjoy the same activities others are enjoying on social media. Failing to realize this truth, we often let FOMO lead us to compare (对比) our lives with those of others. This comparison leaves us feeling unhappy. However, our lives have both good and bad moments, but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share. FOMO also makes us check social media more often, which can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness and boredom. So what should we do if we have FOMO? Researchers advised that we face it and change our way of thinking. They also explained that taking part in social activities could help us realize that nothing bad was happening. What’s more, they suggested finding the joy in the present and not believing the unreal information or news on the Internet. “Take it as a chance to do what you really love, and turn your FOMO into your JOMO—joy of missing out,” one researcher said. 62. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To show what FOMO is with examples. B. To find out if people suffer from FOMO. C. To ask questions about people’s daily lives. D. To give examples about people’s using social media. 63. Which one can replace the word “culprit” in Paragraph 3? A. purpose B. reason C. result D. problem 64. According to paragraph 3, why does social media make people feel unhappy? A. Because our lives have both good and bad moments. B. Because it leads us to compare our lives with those of others. C. Because it is impossible for us to make friends by social media. D. Because we can see the picture-perfect moments. 65. According to the last paragraph, what are the right ways to deal with FOMO? ①Join a voluntary group. ②Accept what you are having now. ③Check your friends’ We Chat moments from time to time. ④Develop your hobbies. ⑤Stop believing the news on the Internet. A. ③④⑤ B. ②③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ①②④ 【答案】62. A 63. B 64. B 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了社交控的含义、表现以及建议。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If your answers...the fear of missing out.”可知，第二段的主要目的是用例子表明什么是社交控。故选A。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Because it is so easy...away from social networks.”可知，今天人们很容易看到他们的朋友的生活和讨论的话题。当他们远离社交网络时，会害怕错过重要的新信息，这是在说明社交媒体是造成社交控的主要原因，reason“原因”符合语境。故选B。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Failing to realize this truth...us feeling unhappy. ”可知，社交媒体会让我们把自己和别人生活进行比较，比较会使我们会不开心。故选B。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Researchers advised that...or news on the Internet.”可知，研究人员建议我们改变思维方式，参加社会活动，在当下找快乐，不相信互联网上不实信息或新闻。因此①②④是解决社交控的方法。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（60 分） 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题； 每小题 1 分，计 10 分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66.

Children should learn to keep __________ (they) safe when they go on a trip. 【答案】themselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：孩子们应该学会在旅行时保持自己的安全。keep sth./sb+形容词，让某物/某人保持某种状态，这里指孩子们保持他们自己的安全，“他们自己”themselves，故填themselves。 69. The sun was ________ (shine) and the sea was really warm! 【答案】shining 【解析】 【详解】句意：阳光灿烂，海水也很温暖！根据句中的“was”可知，时态为过去进行时，因此空处用“shine”的形现在分词shining。故填shining。 70.

At the age of 5, I started to go to that special school called People of Appraisal. Although that special school helped me a lot with my communication skills, I still wanted to be a normal kid in a normal school. At the age of 7, I was in the 1st grade in Creswell Elementary in Opelousas Louisiana. I became an excellent student and my life began to change for the better that year. Although I have Dyslexia, I always keep trying in my life and don’t let others influence me. Now I am a 37-year-old college freshman and an excellent student in my college. Now I do believe in myself and I know that I will succeed in anything I do if I try. I’ve learnt that patience (耐心) goes a long way.

It’s a biscuit tin.” “A biscuit tin with no biscuits inside,” says a boy with glasses. “Tom, I’m hungry.” Jan looks at the boy with curly hair. “Tom? Is that your name? Please give me my things. If you want, I can give you some biscuits in exchange.” “So where are the biscuits?” Tom asks. “In my house. The house by the apple tree. The tree where you found my biscuit tin.” Jan answers. “Take us to your house. If you give us some biscuits, you can have the biscuit tin.” Jan nods. “OK.” Jan starts climbing back up the hill. She hears the boys laughing behind her. “She’s mad, Tom.” At the top of the hill Jan stops suddenly and looks back at them, angry. “Why am I mad?” Tom walks to her. “Because there isn’t any house by the tree. There aren’t any houses near here. The nearest house is Pauly’s and that’s half a mile down the road. Over there.” Tom points back the way they just come.

Surprised D Social media (社交媒体) has its positive aspects, but it can also bring some problems. Have you ever been bored and decided to check your We Chat moments, only to find out that your best friend is at the Great Wall or one of your classmates is eating delicious noodles at your favorite restaurant, or one of your basketball teammates is visiting the giant pandas in Sichuan? Have you had the feeling that others are enjoying life more than you are? If your answers are both “Yes”, you are experiencing FOMO—the fear of missing out. Researchers have found that over 75% of young people are experiencing FOMO from time to time. Social media is the main culprit for it. Because it is so easy today for people to see what their friends are doing, eating, buying and talking about. And they are afraid of missing out on important and new information when they are away from social networks. However, it is impossible for us to enjoy the same activities others are enjoying on social media. Failing to realize this truth, we often let FOMO lead us to compare (对比) our lives with those of others. This comparison leaves us feeling unhappy. However, our lives have both good and bad moments, but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share. FOMO also makes us check social media more often, which can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness and boredom. So what should we do if we have FOMO? Researchers advised that we face it and change our way of thinking. They also explained that taking part in social activities could help us realize that nothing bad was happening. What’s more, they suggested finding the joy in the present and not believing the unreal information or news on the Internet. “Take it as a chance to do what you really love, and turn your FOMO into your JOMO—joy of missing out,” one researcher said. 62. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To show what FOMO is with examples. B. To find out if people suffer from FOMO. C. To ask questions about people’s daily lives. D. To give examples about people’s using social media. 63. Which one can replace the word “culprit” in Paragraph 3? A. purpose B. reason C. result D. problem 64. According to paragraph 3, why does social media make people feel unhappy? A. Because our lives have both good and bad moments. B. Because it leads us to compare our lives with those of others. C. Because it is impossible for us to make friends by social media. D. Because we can see the picture-perfect moments. 65. According to the last paragraph, what are the right ways to deal with FOMO? ①Join a voluntary group. ②Accept what you are having now. ③Check your friends’ We Chat moments from time to time. ④Develop your hobbies. ⑤Stop believing the news on the Internet. A. ③④⑤ B. ②③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ①②④ 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（60 分） 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题； 每小题 1 分，计 10 分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66. For ________ (far) information, call this number. 67.
