A. an B. a C. the D. / 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——中国宣布将在2030年前向月球发射载人飞船。——太棒了！中国的太空计划取得了多么惊人的进步啊！ 考查冠词的用法。a/an一个，不定冠词，表泛指，表示数量，a用在以辅音音素开头的单词前；an用在以元音音素开头的单词前；the这个/这些，定冠词，表特指；/表示不填，零冠词。progress“进步”，抽象名词，不可数，其前不用冠词。故选D。 2. —Will everyone take part in the fireworks party tonight? —I’m afraid not. Tom will be ________ because he is preparing for the test. A. worried B. absent C. strict D. lively 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——今晚的烟花晚会所有人都会参加吗？——恐怕不会。Tom会缺席，因为他在准备考试。 考查形容词辨析。worried担心的；absent缺席的；strict严格的；lively活泼的。根据“because he is preparing for the test”可知，Tom不会参加，因此是缺席。故选B。 3. —Excuse me, ________ is the Gengsu Theatre from this hotel? —It’s about ten minutes if you take a taxi. A. how far B. how long C. how soon D. how much 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对不起，庚戌剧院离这家旅馆有多远？——如果你坐出租车大约需要十分钟。 考查特殊疑问句。how far多远；how long多长时间；how soon多久之后；how much多少钱。根据“It’s about ten minutes if you take a taxi.”可知此处询问距离，疑问词用how far。故选A。 4. —Mr Wu, could you please tell me what the words by Abraham Lincoln mean? —It means “In the course of our life, whether we live a meaningful life ________.” A. represents B. proves C. matters D. appears 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——吴先生，你能告诉我亚伯拉罕•林肯的话是什么意思吗？——它的意思是“在我们的一生中，我们是否活得有意义很重要。” 考查动词辨析。represents代表；proves证明；matters重要；appears出现。根据“It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years”可知，此句意为 “真正重要的不是你生命中的岁月，而是岁月中的生活”，即我们是否活得有意义很重要。故选C。 5. —Yuan Longping, Zhong Nanshan and many other scientists are backbones of our nation. —Exactly. They’re well worth ________. A. respecting B. to be respected C. to respect D. being respected 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——袁隆平、钟南山等许多科学家是我们国家的中坚力量。——确实。他们值得尊重。 考查动名词作宾语。be worth doing sth.意为“值得做某事”，是固定搭配。分析语境可知，此处表示科学家们值得被尊敬，所以用动名词的被动语态。但是be worth doing sth这一结构本身包含有被动的意义。故选A。 6. Simon is crazy about basketball. He watches the game ________ there is an NBA on TV. A. till B. if C. whenever D. since 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：西蒙酷爱篮球。只要电视上有NBA，他就会看比赛。 考查连词辨析。till直到；if如果；whenever无论何时；since自从。根据“Simon is crazy about basketball.”及“He watches the NBA...there is an NBA on TV.”可知，无论电视上什么时候有比赛，他都会看，用whenever引导。故选C。 7. — Monster Hunt is the best film I’ve ever seen in the past few years. — I can’t agree more. You ________ praise this film too much. A. can B. should C. can’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——《捉妖记》是我在过去几年里看过的最好的电影。——我非常同意。你再怎么赞扬这部电影也不过分。 考查情态动词。can可以；should应该；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该。根据上文“I can’t agree more”可知，对方非常同意说话者的看法，所以用“can not … too much”结构，意为“再……也不过分”。故选C。 8. —Miss Wang’s son will have a heart operation next week. —So good luck to the boy. Such an operation is like a race ________ time. A. towards B. against C. over D. with 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——王小姐的儿子下周要做心脏手术。 ——祝那孩子好运。 这样的行动就像在和时间赛跑。 考查介词辨析。towards向；against与……竞争；over在……上方；with和。根据“Miss Wang’s son will have a heart operation next week.”可知，做心脏手术是在与时间竞争。故选B。 9. —Would you like a cup of coffee or a bottle of juice?—______. I’d like some milk. A. Either B. Both C. None D. Neither 【答案】D 【解析】 【分析】考点：考查不定代词。 【详解】试题分析：句意：你想要一杯咖啡还是一瓶橙汁？两样我都不想要，我想要一些牛奶。either的意思是两者中任意一种，both的意思是两者都，none三者三者以上都不，neither两者都不， a cup of coffee or a bottle of juice和I’d like some milk可知两者都不；故选D。 10.

A. put out B. hand out C. break out D. work out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：生活是一段充满困难的旅程，但有了细心和智慧，你可以解决任何问题。 考查动词短语。put out意为“扑灭”；hand out意为“分发”；break out意为“爆发”；work out表示“解决”。根据“any problem”可知是指可以解决任何问题。故选D。 11. Excuse me. When can we play badminton at the court? Not until it _______ next week. A. repairs B. will repair C. is repaired D. will be repaired 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】试题分析：试题分析：本题的含义是请问，我们什么时候能够在球场打羽毛球？直到下一周球场被修理好才可以打。本题until后的从句表示被动的意思，用被动句，结构为be+过去分词，until后跟表示将来的时间从句通常用一般现在时，故本题用is repaired，故本题选C。 考点：考查被动语态的用法 12. —Hi, Jack. Do you know ________? I want to thank him or her in person. —No, it was just left on the front desk. A who sent my wallet back B. where did they find my wallet C. how much money was in my wallet D. when did they find my wallet 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——嗨，杰克。你知道是谁把我的钱包送回来的吗？我想当面感谢他或她。——不知道，它只是被放在了前台。 考查宾语从句。who sent my wallet back谁把我的钱包送回来；where did they find my wallet他们在哪找到我的钱包；how much money was in my wallet我钱包里有多少钱；when did they find my wallet他们什么时候发现了我的钱包。此处为宾语从句，遵循陈述语序原则；根据“I want to thank him or her in person.”可知，此处是问谁把我的钱包送回来的，用who引导宾语从句。故选A。 13. — I don’t know how much longer I can keep working. — Take a break. . A. Practice makes perfect B. Many hands make light work. C. Don’t burn the candle at both ends D.

I’m afraid not 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——暑假我们去宿迁博物馆做志愿者好吗？——再好不过了。我很期待。 考查情景交际。Don’t mention it别提了；That’s not the case事实并非如此；It couldn’t be better再好不过了；I’m afraid not恐怕不会。根据“I’m looking forward to that.”可知，此处是同意对方的建议，C选项“再好不过了”符合语境。故选C。 三、完形填空 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） Amy Purdy is a world-class player, model, and actress.

Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships. His openness to listen has won him the name “the Sunshine Listener”. “I’m happy to listen,” Davis said. “I want them to walk away knowing they don’t have to feel lonely.” ▲ They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said. ‘I just want to sit here with you.’” Davis said. “We looked at the water for some time, and then she thanked me and walked away.

Our relationship, in and out of school, has been changing. When I was younger, I thought all that my dad said was truth and I copied anything he did. We played games together, and stayed up late reading bedtime stories. I could depend on my dad taking me to school, running into him during the day and riding home with him every afternoon. However, as I grew older, we were not as close as we used to be. He wasn’t cool any more. He wore his socks too high, listened to terrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. I felt so ashamed. I hoped he wasn’t my dad. For example, in my seventh grade, my dad came to our New Year party. He dressed up as Donald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away. Another thing was during my 10th grade physics project. The task was to build a wood bridge with the best strength-to-weight ratio. All the students and physics teachers took part in it. So did my dad, the only school doctor! As usual, I ran away. However, later when I learned from my friends that my dad got the first prize and won everyone’s admiration, I had a mixed feeling with a touch of pride (骄傲). I began to realize that we have many of the same values and sometimes the same ideas. No matter how much I had tried to stay away from him, he still influenced me. I feel lucky to have such an unusual father. The relationship I have developed with my dad over the years has made me look back and see how I’ve grown. 31. Which of the following shows the changes of the writer’s feelings towards his father? ①I depended on my dad. ②I was proud of my dad. ③I wanted to run away from my dad. ④I felt so lucky to have such a father. A. ①②③④ B. ①③②④ C. ①③④② D. ①④③② 32. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. The writer did everything together with his father when he was older. B. The writer was not happy to see his father in the New Year party in his seventh grade. C. The writer’s father didn’t treat him as well as before when he grew older. D. The writer invited his father to the physics project when he was in his tenth grade. 33. Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者对自己校医父亲的态度变化。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I was younger…I could depend on my dad”、“However, as I grew older…I felt so ashamed…I wanted to run away.”、“I had a mixed feeling with a touch of pride”以及“I feel lucky to have such an unusual father.”可知作者小时候依赖父亲，长大后因觉得丢脸而想逃避，后来对父亲的成就感到自豪，最后感到幸运，顺序为①→③→②→④。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, in my seventh grade, my dad came to our New Year party. He dressed up as Donald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away.”可知作家在七年级时看到父亲参加新年派对并不高兴。故选B。 【33题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引出主题；第二、三段讲述童年时期的亲密和青春期的疏远；第四、五段是对第三段青春期的疏远的具体举例说明；第六段总结与感悟。故选D。 D When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when thinking about the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party, According to China’s health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind have a rest when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene (场景) in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires (激发) creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo advises you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To inspire creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you have difficulty with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you. 34. Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1? A. Giving an example. B. Raising a question. C. Listing numbers. D. Giving reasons. 35. What does Guo Qiang first advise? A. Running away from the hard time. B. Looking for new worlds. C. Finding time to imagine. D. Focusing on success. 36. What is mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The steps to daydream. B. The things to daydream of. C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming. 37. Daydreaming is talked about ________. A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to find solutions to homework problems C. to advise living at the moment D. to show a science research result 【答案】34. A 35. C 36. B 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲了爱因斯坦提倡白日梦，认为想象力比知识更重要，它能提升健康、创造力，缓解压力，激发灵感，但需注意场合。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old ... said Einstein.”可知，第一段用了举例子的写作技巧。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream.”可知，郭强首先建议找到时间想象，故选C。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Guo advises you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success”可知，第4段提到了一些适合做白日梦的事情。故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you have difficulty with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.”可知，人们在休息之后通常会想出更多解决问题的办法，所以A选项“提醒人们休息一下”符合。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1份，共10分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

Known for their curly tail and horse-like head that gives them the name, seahorses are special sea fish. Let’s take a closer look at the world of these special animals. The seahorse is a small fish that is found in many waters around the world. Its size is from as small as a peanut to as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses come in many colors and some even have the ability to change colors to match the environment where they make their homes. They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push themselves forward is by using the tiny fin. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip! Humans are the great danger to the seahorses. Seahorses feed on tiny fish, but chemical pollution from human activities harms the food. And human-caused climate change has led to warmer ocean temperatures, which put stress on seahorses’ bodies by influencing their breathing and appetite (食欲). What’s more, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they cannot run away from polluted areas. However, the seahorse trade is far more serious than these threats (威胁). The trade mainly includes the sale of dried seahorse for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Some other products (产品) made from seahorses are also involved (涉及). Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year. As it continues, seahorses could disappear by around 2050, but there is still time to save them. 58. What are seahorses known for? _________________________________________________________________ 59. How can seahorses push themselves forward? _________________________________________________________________ 60. Why is it difficult for seahorses to run away from polluted areas? _________________________________________________________________ 61. What is the biggest threat to seahorses according to the text? _________________________________________________________________ 62. What can you do to save seahorses as a student? _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】58. Seahorses are known for their curly tail and horse-like head. 59. Seahorses push themselves forward by using the tiny fin. 60. Because seahorses are poor swimmers. 61. The biggest threat is the seahorse trade. 62. As a student, I can help save seahorses by raising awareness about their threats and reducing pollution.（合理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了海马。 【58题详解】 根据“Have you ever heard of seahorses? Known for their curly tail and horse-like head that gives them the name, seahorses are special sea fish.”可知海马以其卷曲的尾巴和类似马的头部而闻名，故填Seahorses are known for their curly tail and horse-like head. 【59题详解】 根据“Their only way to push themselves forward is by using the tiny fin.”可知它们推动自己前进的唯一方法就是使用小鳍。故填Seahorses push themselves forward by using the tiny fin. 【60题详解】 根据“What’s more, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they cannot run away from polluted areas.”可知海马游泳能力较差，因此它们无法逃离污染地区。故填Because seahorses are poor swimmers. 【61题详解】 根据“However, the seahorse trade is far more serious than these threats”可知海马贸易远比这些威胁严重，故填The biggest threat is the seahorse trade. 【62题详解】 开放题，合理即可。As a student, I can help save seahorses by raising awareness about their threats and reducing pollution. 八、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63. 青少年在成长过程中会遇到各种问题，为此《21世纪英文报》抖音官方公众号专设Teens Talk专栏，其主编Sigmund Friend发布了一个视频，鼓励大家分享成长过程中的烦恼及解决办法，以下为Sigmund Friend视频发言内容。你作为青少年在观看主编的视频后，打算结合自己亲身经历进行评论回复。 注意事项： （1）评论内容须自拟，根据视频内容要求，语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； （2）词数在100左右，评论开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （3）评论中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称。 Nice to meet you, teenagers.

The difficult problems and lots of exercises made me feel like I was in a puzzle. I often felt discouraged and lost confidence. Every test score was like a heavy blow. But I didn’t give up.

B Davis has had the habit of starting each day from a bench with a fantastic view of the Oakland. California waterfront (海滨). “Siting on the bench and watching a sunrise at the waterfront can bring peace and joy to my hear before staring my day,” said Davis. One day a woman stopped there and said to him,“ You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK.” What she said suddenly made Davis realize that he should pay more attention to the people walking past. Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships. His openness to listen has won him the name “the Sunshine Listener”. “I’m happy to listen,” Davis said. “I want them to walk away knowing they don’t have to feel lonely.” ▲ They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said. ‘I just want to sit here with you.’” Davis said. “We looked at the water for some time, and then she thanked me and walked away. She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn’t alone. And in that moment, she truly wasn’t.” 28. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A.

Lonely but friendly. B. Humorous and clever. C. Patient and helpful. D. Brave and honest. 30. What’s the best title for the text? A. Stories at the Waterfront B. Peaceful Moments in Life C. Kindness from a Stranger D. The Sunshine Listener C For the past ten years, my dad and I have attended the same school—he as a school doctor and I as a student. Our relationship, in and out of school, has been changing. When I was younger, I thought all that my dad said was truth and I copied anything he did. We played games together, and stayed up late reading bedtime stories. I could depend on my dad taking me to school, running into him during the day and riding home with him every afternoon. However, as I grew older, we were not as close as we used to be. He wasn’t cool any more. He wore his socks too high, listened to terrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. I felt so ashamed. I hoped he wasn’t my dad. For example, in my seventh grade, my dad came to our New Year party. He dressed up as Donald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away. Another thing was during my 10th grade physics project. The task was to build a wood bridge with the best strength-to-weight ratio. All the students and physics teachers took part in it. So did my dad, the only school doctor! As usual, I ran away. However, later when I learned from my friends that my dad got the first prize and won everyone’s admiration, I had a mixed feeling with a touch of pride (骄傲). I began to realize that we have many of the same values and sometimes the same ideas. No matter how much I had tried to stay away from him, he still influenced me. I feel lucky to have such an unusual father. The relationship I have developed with my dad over the years has made me look back and see how I’ve grown. 31. Which of the following shows the changes of the writer’s feelings towards his father? ①I depended on my dad. ②I was proud of my dad. ③I wanted to run away from my dad. ④I felt so lucky to have such a father. A. ①②③④ B. ①③②④ C. ①③④② D. ①④③② 32. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. The writer did everything together with his father when he was older. B. The writer was not happy to see his father in the New Year party in his seventh grade. C. The writer’s father didn’t treat him as well as before when he grew older. D. The writer invited his father to the physics project when he was in his tenth grade. 33. Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when thinking about the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party, According to China’s health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind have a rest when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene (场景) in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires (激发) creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo advises you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To inspire creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you have difficulty with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you. 34. Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1? A. Giving an example. B. Raising a question. C. Listing numbers. D. Giving reasons. 35. What does Guo Qiang first advise? A. Running away from the hard time. B. Looking for new worlds. C. Finding time to imagine. D. Focusing on success. 36. What is mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The steps to daydream. B. The things to daydream of. C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming. 37. Daydreaming is talked about ________. A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to find solutions to homework problems C. to advise living at the moment D. to show a science research result 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1份，共10分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

Known for their curly tail and horse-like head that gives them the name, seahorses are special sea fish. Let’s take a closer look at the world of these special animals. The seahorse is a small fish that is found in many waters around the world. Its size is from as small as a peanut to as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses come in many colors, and some even have the ability to change colors to match the environment where they make their homes. They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push themselves forward is by using the tiny fin. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip! Humans are the great danger to the seahorses. Seahorses feed on tiny fish, but chemical pollution from human activities harms the food. And human-caused climate change has led to warmer ocean temperatures, which put stress on seahorses’ bodies by influencing their breathing and appetite (食欲). What’s more, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they cannot run away from polluted areas. However, the seahorse trade is far more serious than these threats (威胁). The trade mainly includes the sale of dried seahorse for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Some other products (产品) made from seahorses are also involved (涉及). Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year. As it continues, seahorses could disappear by around 2050, but there is still time to save them. 58.
