A. myself B. yourself C. themselves D. ourselves 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——李老师，我发现很难让自己长时间认真听你讲课。 ——也许你应该好好睡一觉，边听我讲课边记笔记。 考查反身代词。myself我自己；yourself你自己；themselves他们自己；ourselves我们自己。结合该句主语第一人称I及对方回答时提出的建议“Maybe you should…”可知，此处说话者在表达“我自己”很难集中精力，应用其对应的反身代词myself“我自己”。故选A。 22. —Not only I but also my brother ________ interested in playing a game called Black Myth, Wukong. —That’s really interesting. But playing too much ________ bad for our health. A. are; is B. is; are C. are; are D. is; is 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不仅我而且我弟弟也对玩一个叫《黑神话悟空》的游戏感兴趣。——那真的很有趣。但是玩得太多对我们的健康有害。 考查主谓一致。not only ... but also连接的并列主语，谓语动词的数应遵循“就近原则”，空一处就近的主语是三单my brother，be用is；根据“But playing too much”可知，空二处是动名词作主语，谓语动词也用三单。故选D。 23. —Do you have any good ideas about the plan? —No. We still need some more time to ________ it. A. talk B. say C. answer D. discuss 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你对这个计划有什么想法吗？——没有。我们还需要一些时间来讨论它。 考查动词辨析。talk谈话；say说；answer回答；discuss讨论。根据“No. We still need some more time to”可知暂时没有好的主意，说明还需要讨论。故选D。 24. —Bob, I’m not good at English.

A. to join; speaking B. join; to speak C. to join; to speak D. join; speaking. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——鲍勃，我不擅长英语。我应该做些什么？——你最好加入一个英语俱乐部来练习说英语。 考查固定表达和非谓语动词。had better do sth.“最好做某事”，因此第一个空应选择动词原形join；“practice doing sth.”表示“练习做某事”，因此第二个空应用动名词形式speaking。故选D。 25. —The doctor advised me ________ too much because it’s bad for my health. —That’s right. The less you drink, ________ you will be. A. don’t drink; the healthier B. not to drink; the more healthier C. not to drink; the healthier D. don’t drink; the more healthier 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——医生让我不要喝太多酒，因为这对我的健康有害。——没错，你喝得越少，你就会越健康。 考查非谓语动词及比较级。根据“asked me...too much”可知，此处是ask sb not to do sth“让某人不要做某事”，动词不定式的否定式作宾语补足语；根据“The less you drink, ...you will be.”可知，空二处是the+比较级，the+比较级“越……，越……”，healthy的比较级为healthier。故选C。 26. —All of us think ________ others makes the world wonderful. —I agree with you. If everyone gives a helping hand, the world will be a better place. A. talking about B. caring about C. thinking about D. worrying about 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们都认为关心他人使世界变得美好。——我同意你的看法。如果每个人都伸出援助之手，世界将会变得更美好。 考查动词短语。talk about谈论；care about关心；think about考虑；worry about担心。结合对方回答“If everyone gives a helping hand, the world will be a better place.”可知，此处提议应当“关心”他人。故选B。 27.

A. How often B. How long C. How far D. How much 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你周末花多长时间下棋？——至少3个小时。 考查特殊疑问句。How often多久一次；How long多长时间；How far多远；How much多少钱。根据“At least three hours.”可知是一段时间，是对how long的回答。故选B。 29. —Mike, don’t forget ________ the bottles ________ water before your trip to the park. —Thank you, Mum, I know.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is almost an acquaintance (熟人) . All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friends, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will help you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect (完美的) , but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 49. How many kinds of friends are there in the writer’s opinion? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 50. If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A. pest friends B. guest friends C. best friends D. true friends 51. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. how to make a best friend B. how to learn from your best friends C. what a best friend is D. a best friend can help you when you are wrong 52. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? ①= Paragraph l ②= Para 2 ③=Para 3 ④=Para 4 ⑤=Para 5 A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①/②/③④⑤ D. ①/②③/④/⑤ 【答案】49. C 50. B 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍三种不同类型的朋友特点。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are three different kinds of friends: ’pest friends’, ’guest friends’, and ’best friends’.”可知，作者认为有三种类型的朋友。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They are closer than acquaintances, …You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. ”可知，如果你们只是一起做事情但不分享感受，你们是“客人朋友”。故选B。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The last kind of friends, the ’best friend’, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, and know everything about each other.…”最好的朋友就像家人一样，了解彼此的一切……；可知，第四段主要讲述的是“什么是最好的朋友”。故选C。 【52题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段引出主题，第二、三、四段分别介绍三种不同类型的朋友，第五段做总结；可知选项B正确。故选B。 C Most of us spend all day at school or work.

He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him very badly and even didn’t want to offer any food to him. Su Qin felt very sad, but he didn’t give up on himself. He studied hard every day, and finally became good at the “zong-heng principle (纵横之术)”. Later on, Su Qin traveled to many states (国家) and explained his idea to the kings. He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin. Luckily, two states, Yan and Zhao, thought it was a good idea. Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use his idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them. One day, Su Qin passed by his hometown. His parents, brother, and sister-in-law all came out to welcome him. When he saw his sister-in-law, he laughed. He still remembered how she treated him in the past. Then he asked her, “You were rude to me before. But why do you look up to me now?” His sister-in-law answered, “You are an official now, so I can’t treat you like before.” This is the story of Chinese idiom qianjuhougong (前倨后恭). It means someone treats people badly at first, but later respects him because of his high status (地位). 57. Why did Su Qin’s sister-in-law look down on him at first? A. Because he was very lazy. B. Because he didn’t study hard. C. Because he treated his family badly. D. Because he failed to be a government official. 58. Which state was the strongest at that time according to the passage? A. The state of Zhao. B. The state of Yan. C. The state of Qin. D. The state of Qi. 59. What does the underlined word “persuade” mean in Chinese? A. 打击 B. 说服 C. 辩驳 D. 进攻 60. What can we learn about Su Qin from the passage? A. Su Qin was angry with his sister-in-law when she treated him badly. B. Su Qin failed to be an official, but his family members still treated him well. C. Su Qin didn’t want to speak to his family when he passed by his hometown. D. Su Qin became good at the “zong-heng principle “and united six states against the strong state Qin. 【答案】57. D 58. C 59. B 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了苏秦在战国时期起初未能成为官员，遭家人轻视。但他勤奋学习，掌握了纵横之术，最终联合六国抗秦，并成为丞相。成功后，家人对他的态度由轻视转为尊敬，体现了“前倨后恭”的典故。 57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him very badly and even didn’t want to offer any food to him.”可知，他的嫂子最初看不起他，因为他未能当官。故选D。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin.”可知，秦国是当时的最强国。故选C。 【59题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use his idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them.”可知，最终有6个国家联合起来对抗秦国，应该是这两个国家的皇帝让他去说服其他国家的皇帝接受他的想法，因此推测划线词语persuade的意思是“说服”。故选B。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He studied hard every day, and finally became good at the ‘zong-heng principle (纵横之术)’.”“He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin.”以及“In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them.”可知，苏秦努力学习，精通了“纵横之术”，最终联合了六国来对抗强大的秦国。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Isn’t he ‘Grandpa Nice’?” Some of you may ask after seeing the picture on the right.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了表情包中的人物迈克尔罗森的故事。 【61题详解】 根据“He is Michael Rosen from England”以及“In fact, he teaches writing at a school in London”可知此处介绍这个人因为这个表情包而闻名，但实际上他在伦敦教写作，选项A“他因其‘Nice’表情包而闻名于世”符合语境。故选A。 【62题详解】 根据“His most famous book is We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”可知此处介绍他写的书，选项G“罗森为儿童和成年人写了200多本书”符合语境。故选G。 63题详解】 根据“She says Rosen has a real gift (天赋) for writing.”可知他有写作的天赋，选项D“他能用快乐和幽默写下生活中最严肃的事情”符合语境。故选D。 【64题详解】 根据“He thinks writing is like a lovely room. It’s full of possibilities”可知他认为写作就像一个可爱的房间，它充满了可能性，选项C“你可以在那里创造许多不同的人和事物”符合语境。故选C。 【65题详解】 根据“In real life, there is always a ‘next thing’”可知在现实生活中，总有一件“下一件事”，所以不要放弃，选项E“我们永远不应该放弃自己”符合语境。故选E。 第二卷（非选择题，共40分） 五、根据句意及所给中文、首字母与英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 66.

Want to help? 【答案】repair 【解析】 【详解】句意：孩子们，你们父亲决定这个周末修理汽车。想帮忙吗？根据“your father decided to...the car”和汉语提示可知，此处是决定修理汽车，decide to do sth表示“决定做某事”，不定式to后需填动词原形，repair“修理”，动词。故填repair。 71.

But do you know the four most extreme (极端的) places to live in the world? Wyndham The hottest town in the world is Wyndham in Western Australia. All year round the temperature (温度) stays between 31℃-39℃. There is also beautiful scenery (景色), like the Five Rivers Lookout, where five rivers run into the sea. Oymyakon Oymyakon in Russia is the coldest place. People live with temperatures usually around -40℃. Schools close when the temperature drops to -52℃ and the people say that it’s difficult to breathe (呼吸) at about -60℃. Lloro If you don’t like rain, think about the people in Lloro near the west coast of Colombia. They have the most rain in the world—more than 1,300cm a year. In the forests, it rains every day. Aswan Aswan in Egypt is the driest place on the earth, with an average of 0.05cm rainfall a year. The last time it rained in Aswan was in 13th May, 2006. 46. When needn’t the students go to school in Oymyakon? A. The temperature drops to -52℃. B. The temperature stays around -40℃. C. The temperature goes lower than -60℃. D. The temperature stays between 31℃-39℃. 47. What is the weather usually like in Lloro? A. Rainy. B. Cold. C. Windy. D. Warm. 48. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. We can see Five Rivers Lookout in Wyndham. B. It’s not easy to breathe at about -60℃ in Oymyakon. C. Lloro has the most rain in the world. D. It never rains in Aswan in Egypt. B Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is almost an acquaintance (熟人) . All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friends, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will help you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect (完美的) , but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 49. How many kinds of friends are there in the writer’s opinion? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 50. If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A. pest friends B. guest friends C. best friends D. true friends 51.

After a long and busy day, we want to stay at a comfortable home. Smart technology (科技) can turn any home into a nicer place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. The Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10. With X10, household devices (设备) like lights and alarms, can talk with each other by using radio waves. Some common (普通的) housework devices can become “smart” too. For example, according to HowStuffWorks, a smart rubbish bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items. Smart fridges can make dinner recipes (食谱) based on the food inside. Smart homes are also good for the environment (环境). By turning off devices that you’re not using, smart homes can save electricity (电) you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources (资源) and it is good for the environment. 53. X10 technology makes household devices use ________ to talk. A. voices B. radio waves C. computers D. a 5G network 54. The writer shows that common household devices are smart by ________. A. listing numbers B. telling stories C. giving examples D. answering question 55. Smart homes are better for the environment because ________. A. they don’t use electricity. B. they have smart trash bins. C. they can help us save energy. D. they don’t need natural resources. 56. The passage is mainly about the topic of “________”. A. smart technology B. natural resources C. famous devices D. information science D During the Warring States Period, there lived a man named Su Qin. He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him very badly and even didn’t want to offer any food to him. Su Qin felt very sad, but he didn’t give up on himself. He studied hard every day, and finally became good at the “zong-heng principle (纵横之术)”. Later on, Su Qin traveled to many states (国家) and explained his idea to the kings. He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin. Luckily, two states, Yan and Zhao, thought it was a good idea. Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use his idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them. One day, Su Qin passed by his hometown. His parents, brother, and sister-in-law all came out to welcome him. When he saw his sister-in-law, he laughed. He still remembered how she treated him in the past. Then he asked her, “You were rude to me before. But why do you look up to me now?” His sister-in-law answered, “You are an official now, so I can’t treat you like before.” This is the story of Chinese idiom qianjuhougong (前倨后恭). It means someone treats people badly at first, but later respects him because of his high status (地位). 57. Why did Su Qin’s sister-in-law look down on him at first? A. Because he was very lazy. B. Because he didn’t study hard. C. Because he treated his family badly. D. Because he failed to be a government official. 58. Which state was the strongest at that time according to the passage? A The state of Zhao. B. The state of Yan. C. The state of Qin. D. The state of Qi. 59. What does the underlined word “persuade” mean in Chinese? A. 打击 B. 说服 C. 辩驳 D. 进攻 60. What can we learn about Su Qin from the passage? A. Su Qin was angry with his sister-in-law when she treated him badly. B. Su Qin failed to be an official, but his family members still treated him well. C. Su Qin didn’t want to speak to his family when he passed by his hometown. D. Su Qin became good at the “zong-heng principle “and united six states against the strong state Qin. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Isn’t he ‘Grandpa Nice’?” Some of you may ask after seeing the picture on the right.
