My cousin will ________ a wonderful teacher after she leaves college. She is kind and helpful. A. meet B. miss C. make D. match 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我表妹大学毕业后会成为一名出色的老师。她很善良，乐于助人。 考查动词辨析。meet遇见；miss错过；make使成为；match使相配。结合“My cousin will...a wonderful teacher”可知，这里是指成为一名出色的老师。故选C。 22. The instructions are very important, you ________ begin your work without reading them. A. needn’t B. couldn’t C. shouldn’t D. may not 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些指导说明非常重要，你不应该不阅读就开始工作。 考查情态动词。needn’t不需要；couldn’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；may not可能不。根据“The instructions are very important”可知，这些指导说明很重要，不建议不看说明就工作，shouldn’t表建议。故选C。 23. —What a bright light! When did you ________? —Last week. A. put it up B. put it in C. put it out D. put it away 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——好亮的一盏灯啊！你什么时候装上的？——上周。 考查动词短语。put it up张贴它；put it in安装它；put it out扑灭它；put it away把它收拾起来。根据“What a bright light!”可知，此处指安装灯，故选B。 24. —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。 25.

Instead of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个年轻人没有足够的钱买一辆新车。相反，他买了一台二手的。 考查副词辨析。Exactly“确切地”，副词；Suddenly“突然地”，副词；Instead“相反”，副词，通常位于句尾，如位于句首时常用逗号与后面隔开；Instead of“代替”，介词短语，后接名词或动名词作宾语。根据“he bought a second- hand one”可知，年轻人钱不够没有买新车，相反，买了一辆二手车，空后是逗号，因此这里用instead。故选C。 26. Learning English is really a helpful newspaper. It makes learning English ________ for the students. A. harder B. hardest C. much easier D. easiest 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：《学英语》真的是一份很有帮助的报纸。这使得学生学习英语变得容易多了。 考查形容词比较级。harder更难的；hardest最困难的；much easier更容易的；easiest最容易的。根据“Learning English is really a helpful newspaper.”可知，此处说的是学习英语更加容易，用形容词比较级much easier。故选C。 27. —Don’t play with the fire, you will hurt ________, Mike. —Sorry, I won’t. A. itself B. himself C. yourself D. yourselves 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不要玩火，Mike，你会伤到自己。——对不起，我不会再做了。 考查反身代词的使用。itself它自己；himself他自己；yourself你自己；yourselves你们自己。根据句中对话对象是Mike，可以判断用第二人称单数，反身代词用yourself。故选C。 28. Which of the following word can be put in the mind map below? A. good-looking B. patient C. handsome D. feeling 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：以下哪个单词可以放在下面的思维导图中？ 考查形容词辨析。good-looking好看的；patient耐心的；handsome英俊的；feeling感受。根据“personality”可知，此处填性格，只有B选项符合，故选B。 29. —The article is too long! —Is that so? Maybe you can ________ the questions before you read it. A. look up B. look after C. look into D. look through 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这篇文章太长了！——是吗？也许你可以在阅读前先浏览一下问题。 考查动词短语辨析。look up查阅；look after照顾；look into调查；look through浏览。根据“Maybe you can...the questions before you read it.”可知，阅读文章前浏览一遍问题，故选D。 30. —So you mean you don’t like the book? —________.

I am 50 years old, but I look like a person of 85. I have serious kidney (肾脏) problems because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I am already one of the oldest people in this society. I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now, we have to shave our heads to keep them clean without the use of water. I remember there were “Save Water” warnings (警告) in many public places, but nobody cared. We believed water would never be used up. Now, all the rivers and lakes are dry or dirty. Water is much more expensive than gold. Without water, almost all factories are closed. Most people lose their jobs. Those who have a job work in desalination (海水脱盐) plants and are paid with drinkable water instead of money. In the past, doctors advised people to drink eight glasses of water a day. Now, I can only have half a glass. Most people are weak. Young people in their early 20s look much older than they should be. Because there are few trees, we don’t have enough oxygen. We have to pay for air. The air is not of very good quality, but at least we can breathe. Poor people die young. The average life expectancy (预期寿命) is 40 years. When my son asks me about my life when I was a little girl, I tell him about how happy it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now?”, I feel really sorry. I am one of the generation (一代人) who turned a blind (瞎的) eye to all the “Save Water” warnings. I wish this letter could travel back in time and it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand the importance of saving water. Best, Natalie 44. What does the underlined word “shave” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Wear hats. B. Cut off hair. C. Hit. D. Wash often. 45. According to Natalie, when she was a little girl, ________. A. children could fish in the rivers B. most rivers were dry and dirty C. people could drink only eight glasses of water a day D. most people cared about the “Save Water” warnings 46. When her son asks her why there is no clean water, Natalie feels sorry because ________. A. only she cared about saving water B. her generation cared little about saving water C. her parents never talked to her about water problems D. she doesn’t have enough money to buy fresh water for her son 47. By writing this letter, Natalie mainly wants ________.

He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and felt asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny (极小的) people were around him.) The King spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth. The King and I often spoke to each other but neither (两者都不) of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the King’s followers. After about two hours the King left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards (警卫) around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment (惩罚). I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man shouted terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding (捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers (士兵) were very happy with my great kindness. They told the King about it at once. The King ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the King asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause (导致) much illness all over the country. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 48. To the tiny people, Gulliver was a(n) ________ at first. A. friend B. enemy (敌人) C. relative D. traveler 49. The underlined word “them” most probably refers to “________”. A. the guards B. the officers C. the six men D. the soldiers 50. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ①The King ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ②They couldn’t understand each other. ③The King spoke. ④Gulliver didn’t punish the six tiny people and let them go. A. ③②①④ B. ①④③② C. ③②④① D. ②①③④ 51. Why didn’t the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally? A. He was so strong that he would work for them. B. He was so big and they didn’t have the weapon (武器) to kill him. C. The King and his family liked him so much that they didn’t agree. D. His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country. 【答案】48. B 49. C 50. C 51. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛进入了小人国的故事。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand.”可知，刚开始他们认为格列佛很危险，以为他是他们的敌人。故选B。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment (惩罚). I put five of them in my pocket.”可知，划线单词是指那6个男人。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The King spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly.”，“The King and I often spoke to each other but neither (两者都不) of us understood a single word.”，“But I only cut the binding (捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.”和“The King ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.”可知，故事的发展顺序是国王说了一些话；国王和格列佛两人互相不理解对方说了什么；格列佛放了那六个小人；国王命令手下给格列佛做了一张大床，所以顺序为③②④①。故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause (导致) much illness all over the country.”可知，因为格列佛的尸体会散发恶臭，可能会在他们的国家引发了许多疾病，所以最后没有杀了格列佛。故选D。 D Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. At present, China took the lead (领先) in using and developing them all around the world. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control (控制) this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (农药). This can help the environment (环境) and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 52. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the wide use of drones in the passage by _________.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了无人机可以为我们做很多事情。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does.”可知，作者通过列举实例说明无人机的广泛应用。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops.”可知，无人机可以帮助人们照看庄稼。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger.”、“In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops.”、“Drones can also help to find lost people.”及“Drones can even serve people coffee.”可知，共提到了六件事，故选A。 【55题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章可知，文章结构遵循总分结构，第一段总的讲述无人机可以为我们做很多事情，第二、三和四段分别举例说明无人机为人们做的事情，选项D符合。故选D。 第II卷 主观题（50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 56.

One day, he found his neighbour had candles, but the light couldn’t go through his room. So he dug a small hole on the wall so that he could use the light to read books. From that day, he read books every night until the light went out. However, he finished reading all his books and there were no books for him to read. Then he went to a rich man’s house and worked for him without asking for money.

Step 2 B. Step 3 C. Step 4 D. Step 6 43. The passage is most probably written for ________. A. teachers B. teenagers C. scientists D. parents B A letter from 2070 Hi, This is the year 2070. I am 50 years old, but I look like a person of 85. I have serious kidney (肾脏) problems because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I am already one of the oldest people in this society. I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now, we have to shave our heads to keep them clean without the use of water. I remember there were “Save Water” warnings (警告) in many public places, but nobody cared. We believed water would never be used up. Now, all the rivers and lakes are dry or dirty. Water is much more expensive than gold. Without water, almost all factories are closed. Most people lose their jobs. Those who have a job work in desalination (海水脱盐) plants and are paid with drinkable water instead of money. In the past, doctors advised people to drink eight glasses of water a day. Now, I can only have half a glass. Most people are weak. Young people in their early 20s look much older than they should be. Because there are few trees, we don’t have enough oxygen. We have to pay for air. The air is not of very good quality, but at least we can breathe. Poor people die young. The average life expectancy (预期寿命) is 40 years. When my son asks me about my life when I was a little girl, I tell him about how happy it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now?”, I feel really sorry. I am one of the generation (一代人) who turned a blind (瞎的) eye to all the “Save Water” warnings. I wish this letter could travel back in time and it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand the importance of saving water. Best, Natalie 44. What does the underlined word “shave” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Wear hats. B. Cut off hair. C. Hit. D. Wash often. 45. According to Natalie, when she was a little girl, ________. A. children could fish in the rivers B. most rivers were dry and dirty C. people could drink only eight glasses of water a day D. most people cared about the “Save Water” warnings 46. When her son asks her why there is no clean water, Natalie feels sorry because ________. A. only she cared about saving water B. her generation cared little about saving water C. her parents never talked to her about water problems D. she doesn’t have enough money to buy fresh water for her son 47. By writing this letter, Natalie mainly wants ________. A. the government to do more to prevent water problems B. scientists to think of better ways to solve water problems C. people living before her son to save water for future generations D. people living before her son to know how terrible life could be without water C (One day, Gulliver (格列佛) was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then broken. He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and felt asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny (极小的) people were around him.) The King spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth. The King and I often spoke to each other but neither (两者都不) of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the King’s followers. After about two hours the King left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards (警卫) around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment (惩罚). I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man shouted terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding (捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers (士兵) were very happy with my great kindness. They told the King about it at once. The King ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the King asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause (导致) much illness all over the country. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 48. To the tiny people, Gulliver was a(n) ________ at first. A. friend B. enemy (敌人) C. relative D. traveler 49. The underlined word “them” most probably refers to “________”. A. the guards B. the officers C. the six men D. the soldiers 50. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ①The King ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ②They couldn’t understand each other. ③The King spoke. ④Gulliver didn’t punish the six tiny people and let them go. A. ③②①④ B. ①④③② C. ③②④① D. ②①③④ 51. Why didn’t the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally? A. He was so strong that he would work for them. B. He was so big and they didn’t have the weapon (武器) to kill him. C. The King and his family liked him so much that they didn’t agree. D. His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country. D Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. At present, China took the lead (领先) in using and developing them all around the world. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control (控制) this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (农药). This can help the environment (环境) and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 52. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the wide use of drones in the passage by _________.

One day, he found his neighbour had candles, but the light couldn’t go through his room. So he dug a small hole on the wall so that he could use the light to read books. From that day, he read books every night until the light went out. However, he finished reading all his books and there were no books for him to read. Then he went to a rich man’s house and worked for him without asking for money.
