Let’s value and enjoy it”以及“Life also means bright future”可知，此处是在表示对对方观点的赞同，所以应该用I can’t agree more。故选A。 2. —You didn’t use to do sports, did you? —________.

It’s a piece of cake. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——鲍勃又没能通过数学考试。——活该！我们都曾告诉过他要努力学习！ 考查谚语。Readers are leaders读书人是领导者；Use it or lose it非用即失；It serves him right活该；It’s a piece of cake小菜一碟。根据“We all have ever told him to work hard”可知，大家都曾劝他努力学习，但他没有听，所以没通过考试是他活该。故选C。 4. —The officer’ coming.

A. stealing B. avoiding C. hiding D. stopping 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——保罗似乎没有处理你们之间的问题。——我也这么觉得。他一整周都在躲着我。 考查动词辨析。stealing偷；avoiding避免，逃避；hiding躲藏；stopping停止。根据“Paul doesn’t seem to deal with the problem between you”可知，此处是在描述保罗没有处理两人之间的问题，所以推断他在躲着对方，avoid符合语境。故选B。 7. — Love never used to be ________ from Jack’s childhood. —No wonder he is so confident and full of the sense of humor. A. born B. normal C. proud D. absent 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爱从来都不在杰克的童年里缺席。——难怪他如此自信且充满幽默感。 考查形容词词义辨析。born天生的；normal正常的；proud自豪的；absent缺席的。根据“No wonder he is so confident and full of the sense of humor”可知，他如此自信和幽默，可以推测出他的童年缺少爱，所以此处应用absent，表示“缺席的”。故选D。 8. —Tickets for Friday? —Sorry, we’ve got ________ left.

The Chinese saying “Lambs kneel getting milk and crows know feeding back” tells us ________. A. why one should thank his parents B. what lambs and crows have C. when should one feed back D. how clever crows and lambs are 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国有句谚语“羊羔跪乳，乌鸦反哺”，告诉我们为什么一个人应该感谢他父母。 考查宾语从句和习语。why one should thank his parent为什么一个人应该感谢他的父母；what lambs and crows have羊羔和牛有什么；when should one feed back一个人应该什么时候反馈，此选项为错误表达，应为陈述语句；how clever crows and lambs are羊羔和牛是多么聪明。根据题干句法结构可知，设空处应为宾语从句，宾语从句应用陈述语序；根据“Lambs kneel getting milk and crows know feeding back”可知，这句话是在告诉我们应该感恩。故选A。 三、完形填空 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Where there is a will, there is a way.

In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at-midnight. In recent years, street patties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display. For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1; the bells of the New Year are rung. In Scotland people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time on New Year’s Eve. If you’re invited to a Scottish home. you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky. The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months. There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you? Well, don’t ting the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon! 31. Which does not belong to gathering places when people throw street parties? A. Parks. B. Squares. C. Main streets. D. Riverbanks. 32. What can we infer about the New Year in Britain according to the first three paragraphs? A. British people hate the old year, so they dance it away quickly. B. Street concerts have become less popular on New Year’s Eve. C. British people often set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year. D. People do nothing at home but wait for the bell of the New Year. 33. Why do visitors take some things & a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve? A. To offer some food and water. B. To send their lovey wishes. C. To show respect and richness. D. To help those poor families. 34. Who is the right person to knock at the door? A. A man who listens to bands playing. B. A man who performs at street parties. C. A man who is tall and handsome. D. A man who carries bread and whisky. 35. The passage mainly talks about _________. A. Coal, shortbread and whisky B. The New Year celebration in the UK C. The right person to knock on the door. D. New Year parties around the world 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在英国庆祝新年的不同方式，包括街头派对、家庭聚会和苏格兰特有的传统习俗，强调了新年庆祝活动的文化多样性和社交意义。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display.”可知，人们在广场、大街或河岸上聚会听乐队演奏和看烟花表演，而没有提到公园。因此，A选项“公园”不属于人们举办街头聚会的地点。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at-midnight.”和第二段“In recent years, street patties have become...bands playing and to see fireworks display.”可以推断出，英国人在新年时会燃放烟花庆祝。因此，C选项“英国人经常燃放烟花庆祝新年”是正确的推断。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing...over the next 12 months.”可知，客人带煤、饼干和威士忌是为了表达他们的祝福，希望主人在新的一年里有足够的温暖、食物和饮料。因此，B选项“为了表达他们的爱愿”是正确的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man.”可知，第一个敲邻居门的人应该是一个高大英俊的男人。因此，C选项“一个高大英俊的男人”是正确的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“New Year is a time to celebrate for almost...welcome the new one at-midnight.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了英国新年的庆祝方式。因此，B选项“英国的新年庆祝活动”是正确的。故选B。 C Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast (海岸) when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of a used crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of living. He cut her free and got in touch with the government. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unluckily, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that ★ . Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale was made into a film, ‘Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but could live because a few people cared. 36. The underlined phrased “severe” in Para. 1 may mean ________. A. active B. normal C. common D. terrible 37. Which of the following isn’t Winter’s story according to the passage? A. Being caught. B. Being cut free. C. Making “WintersGel” D. Getting an artificial tail. 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. it was so easy to let the fish swim again B. it was very important to help the fish swim C. the fish was really bringing them some trouble D. the months of hard work had been truly worth it 39.

In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at-midnight. In recent years, street patties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display. For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1; the bells of the New Year are rung. In Scotland people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time on New Year’s Eve. If you’re invited to a Scottish home. you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky. The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months. There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you? Well, don’t ting the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon! 31. Which does not belong to gathering places when people throw street parties? A. Parks. B. Squares. C. Main streets. D. Riverbanks. 32. What can we infer about the New Year in Britain according to the first three paragraphs? A. British people hate the old year, so they dance it away quickly. B. Street concerts have become less popular on New Year’s Eve. C. British people often set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year. D. People do nothing at home but wait for the bell of the New Year. 33. Why do visitors take some things & a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve? A To offer some food and water. B. To send their lovey wishes. C. To show respect and richness. D. To help those poor families. 34. Who is the right person to knock at the door? A. A man who listens to bands playing. B. A man who performs at street parties. C. A man who is tall and handsome. D. A man who carries bread and whisky. 35. The passage mainly talks about _________. A. Coal, shortbread and whisky B. The New Year celebration in the UK C. The right person to knock on the door. D. New Year parties around the world C Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast (海岸) when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of a used crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of living. He cut her free and got in touch with the government. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unluckily, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that ★ . Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale was made into a film, ‘Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but could live because a few people cared. 36. The underlined phrased “severe” in Para. 1 may mean ________. A. active B. normal C. common D. terrible 37. Which of the following isn’t Winter’s story according to the passage? A. Being caught. B. Being cut free. C. Making “WintersGel” D. Getting an artificial tail. 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. it was so easy to let the fish swim again B. it was very important to help the fish swim C. the fish was really bringing them some trouble D. the months of hard work had been truly worth it 39. Which of the, following words. can best describe Kevin and Dan’s work in paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Difficult. C. Interesting. D. Imaginative. 40. What could be the best title for the text? A. A Tale Of A Tail. B. A Chance Together With A Dolphin. C. An Important Living Skill. D. A Lesson From A Dolphin. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共40分) 五、词与短语填空(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) travel / throwing / happens / 30-minute / meeting / holds / takes place Through the years, people have found many ways to celebrate important occasions in their lives.
