考查冠词用法。an一,用于元音音素开头的单词;a一,用于辅音音素开头的单词;the这个,那个,表示特指。根据题意可知,此句是感叹句,结构是What a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语 ,且honest以元音音素开头,应使用不定冠词an。故选A。

【详解】句意:昨天晚上我和妈妈在超市购物时,我妹妹正在家里看书。
考查动词时态。根据“yesterday evening”可以判断这句话描述的是过去的事情,故排除选项C,根据“While I...”可知,我的动作与我妹妹的动作是同时进行,故两个空处需使用过去进行时,其结构为was/were+doing,故选A。

Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arm and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get it. Aunt Em opened the door in the floor and climbed down into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room, there came a strong wind. The house shook so hard that she lost her footing and fell down on the floor.

Chinese Loong Yaur is going to say goodbye to us. But do you know well about Chinese loong?
In old Chinese stories, the loong is an animal that lives in rivers, lakes and seas. It has a snakelike body, four legs, sharp claws, a pair of horns (角) and lange eyes.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极洲的情况,包括冰的覆盖、极端温度、无人居住的历史、如今的探索研究以及特殊的自然现象等。
【46题详解】
句意:冰几乎覆盖了整个大陆。此处需填一个动词,结合语境,冰“覆盖”了几乎整个大陆,“cover”有“覆盖”之意,主语“Ice”是不可数名词,文章用一般现在时,所以cover要用第三人称单数形式covers。故填covers。
【47题详解】
句意:人们曾在那里记录到最低温度,是零下89摄氏度!后面提到“it was -89°C”,可知这里说的是最低“温度”,“temperature”表示“温度”,符合题意。故填temperature。
【48题详解】
句意:它也是七大洲中最干燥的大陆,因为全年降雨量极少。此句说南极洲是最干燥的大陆因为全年降雨很少,“all year round”表示“全年”,符合语境,故填all year round。
【49题详解】
句意:数千年来没有人在南极洲生活。“thousands of”表示“成千上万的”,“for thousands of years”意思是“数千年来”,符合语境,即数千年来没有人在南极洲生活。故填thousands of。
【50题详解】
句意:然而,如今人们有可能去探索和研究这片大陆。前文说南极洲条件恶劣没人居住,后文说现在人们可以去探索研究,前后是转折关系,“however”表示“然而”,符合逻辑,且位于句首,首字母大写。故填However。
【51题详解】
句意:来自世界各地的科学家前往那里。来自全世界的人去那里探索研究,结合所给词,“science”的变形“scientists”符合,首字母大写。故填Scientists。
【52题详解】
句意:很少有人停留超过六个月。“than”是比较级的标志,“long”的比较级是“longer”,表示“更长时间”,即很少有人停留超过六个月。故填longer。
【53题详解】
句意:那里太阳一年只升起和落下一次。这里说太阳的升落,“rise”表示“升起”,主语“The sun”是第三人称单数,一般现在时,所以用“rises”。故填rises。
【54题详解】
句意:这意味着有六个月的白昼,然后是六个月的黑夜。一年中太阳只升落一次,意味着有六个月的“白天”然后六个月的黑夜,“daylight”表示“白天”,符合文意。故填daylight。
【55题详解】
句意:在冬季,没有太阳,仅靠一堆火和羊毛袜远不足以保暖。“during”表示“在……期间”,“during the winter”表示“在冬天期间”,符合语境。故填During。
根据短文内容和首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使短文意思完整。

【答案】56. (w)ays
57. (c)ross
58. (c)learly
59. (b)oth 60. (q)uickly
61. (s)moke
62. (s)ure 63. (i)f
64. (d)angerous
65. (f)all
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述的是作为学生,我们应该如何在生活中保护自己。文章在放学、上学路上、在学校里、着火时、饮食方面和乘自动扶梯时等五个方面给我们提出了一些保证安全的小提示。
【56题详解】
句意:这是一些方法。根据“How can we students keep ourselves safe?”可知,此处指的是保持安全的方法,结合首字母,应填way,且根据“Here are some…”可知,应用复数名词形式ways。故填(w)ays。
【57题详解】
句意:你过马路之前要等待交通灯变绿,并先向左右看。根据“before you…the road”可知,此处指过马路,动词“cross穿过”符合题意,且此句是一般现在时,主语you是非单三形式,所以,应用cross的原形。故填(c)ross。
【58题详解】
句意:要穿亮色衣服,这样司机就能够看清你。根据句意可知穿亮色衣服是为了被司机“看清”,此处空格修饰动词see,所以用副词clearly。故填(c)learly。
【59题详解】
句意:如果你在拥挤的地方摔倒,要用双手护住头。根据“cover your head with…hands”可知,因为人有两只手,修饰复数名词hands,故此处为both,both意为“两者都”,符合题意。故填(b)oth。
【60题详解】
句意:当发生火灾时:保持冷静并迅速离开。根据“Stay calm and leave…”可知,此处指保持冷静,迅速地离开,所以,副词quickly修饰动词leave。故填(q)uickly。
【61题详解】
句意:用一片湿布捂住你的嘴和鼻子,这样你就不会吸入烟尘。根据题意可知,这里说的是有火的地方如何保护自己,应用湿布保护口鼻,目的是不吸入烟尘,结合首字母应是smoke。故填(s)moke。
【62题详解】
句意:确保它们足够干净可以食用。根据“Make…that they are clean enough to eat.”可知,此处为确保干净,make sure“确保”,固定短语。故填(s)ure。
【63题详解】
句意:检查保质期,而且如果你的食物看上去或闻起来不好,就不要吃了。根据句意可知,此句是if引导的条件状语从句,表示“如果”。故填(i)f。
【64题详解】
句意:在自动扶梯上跑上跑下是危险的。根据下一句“You may… down because escalator steps are not fit for running.”和首字母可知,你可能会因为自动扶梯的台阶不适合跑步而摔倒,因此是危险的,形容词“dangerous”符合题意。故填(d)angerous。
【65题详解】
句意:你可能会因为自动扶梯的台阶不适合跑步而摔倒。根据“You may… down because escalator steps are not fit for running.”和首字母可知,你可能会因为自动扶梯的台阶不适合跑步而摔倒,此处指“fall摔倒”,符合题意,且情态动词may后接动词原形。故填(f)all。

Robotic dogs have become famous on the Internet! Like “porters (搬运工)”, they carried things and rubbish during tests at Taishan Mountain in Tai’an, Shandong, in late October.
In 2024 over 8 million people visited Taishan Mountain. They created about 24,000 tons of waste, according to Taishan Cultural Tourism Group. But the paths are not wide enough, so large machines can’t work there. Cleaners have to carry the rubbish down the mountain on their backs.
This is where the robotic dogs come in! Each dog is able to carry 30 to 40 kilograms. It can stay balanced (平衡的) and move around things in its way. During the tests, the robot could reach the top of the mountain in two hours, while the average (平均的) time for adults without carrying anything is about four hours. The robot can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充电).
Still, the company that built the robot said there are many things they need to do to make it better, such as raising the height of its box for storage box (储物盒) and better sealing (密封) waste package.

Chinese Loong Yaur is going to say goodbye to us. But do you know well about Chinese loong?
In old Chinese stories, the loong is an animal that lives in rivers, lakes and seas. It has a snakelike body, four legs, sharp claws, a pair of horns (角) and lange eyes. When Western people first learned of this animal, they thought it fit the image (形象) of the “dragon” in their culture. However, there are some differences between the dragon and the loong.
In Western stories, the dragon often has a body like a dinosaur (恐龙) and wings. It can make fire. It is usually a scary and bad animal. However, according to Chinese stories, the loong doesn’t have wings, but it can fly high into sky. Chinese people believe it is an auspicious (吉祥的) animal.
In ancient China, people believed it was able to change the weather and protect humans. Over time, the loong has become a symbol of power, honesty and good luck in Chinese culture.
The word “loong” is not a new word. It first appeared in the 19th century. The comeback of the word shows the Chinese people’s growing cultural confidence. Now we can say that we are the descendants (后代) of the loonge, not the dragon.
