Which of the following is the pronunciation of the correct word in the blank? A. /ˈkruːəl/ B. /ˈnɜːvəs/ C. /ˈkeələs/ 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在西班牙看斗牛是残忍的，因为斗牛通常以公牛的死亡结束。下面哪个是空格中正确单词的读音？ 考查单词的读音和形容词辨析。cruel残忍的；nervous紧张的；careless粗心的。根据“because it often ends with the death of the bull”可知，这是一件残忍的事情。故选A。 2. —How lovely the day is! Shall we take a walk outside? —Sorry. I’m tired today. I’d rather ________ at home than ________ for a walk. A. staying; going B. stay; go C. to stay; to go 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——天气多好啊！我们出去走走好吗？——对不起。我今天很累。我宁愿待在家里也不愿出去散步。 考查非谓语动词。would rather do sth than do sth“宁愿做……而不愿做……”，所以两个空都用动词原形。故选B。 3. —Bob, what’s your dream job, a doctor or a teacher? —________. I want to be a policeman. A. Either B. None C. Neither 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——鲍勃，你梦想的职业是什么，医生还是教师？——都不是。我想成为一名警察。 考查代词辨析。Either表示“两者中的任何一个”；None表示“三者或以上都不”；neither表示“两者都不”。根据“I want to be a policeman.”可知，此处是指医生和老师两者都不是梦想职业，故选C。 4. —Could you tell me how I can improve my English? —Sure. ________, you could speak it as much as possible. A. First of all B. In that case C. After all 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我怎么样才能提高英语吗?——可以。首先，你要尽可能多地说英语。 考查副词短语。First of all首先；In that case既然那样；After all毕竟、终究。根据题干可知说话人建议对方如何提高英语，首先要尽可能多地说英语，所以A选项符合题意，故选A。 5. —How did you fix up the machine, Dad? —It’s easy.

A. influences B. interviews C. instructions 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，你是怎么把机器修好的？——很简单。我只是按照说明书做了。 考查名词辨析。influences影响；interviews采访，面试；instructions用法说明。根据“I just followed the...”可知，是指按照机器的使用说明进行修理。故选C。 6.

A. met B. meeting C. to meet 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：你记得上个月某个时候见过这位电影明星吗？ 考查非谓语动词。根据“remember…the movie star sometime last month”可知，此处指“记得见过这位电影明星”，应用短语remember doing sth.“记得做过某事”，空处应用meeting。故选B。 8. I think ________ can make him change his mind, because he never gives up easily. A. nothing B. something C. everything 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我想没有什么能让他改变主意, 因为他从不轻易放弃。 考查复合不定代词。nothing没有什么；something某事，某物；everything一切。根据“he never gives up easily”可知，没有什么能使他改变主意。故选A。 9.

A. increased B. has increased C. will increase 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：报告显示，到目前为止，我国国家森林公园的数量已增加到大约1000个。 考查动词时态。根据“so far”可知，句子的时态是现在完成时（have/has done）。主语“the number of national forest parks”是第三人称单数，因此使用“has increased”。故选B。 10. Lily is afraid to speak in public. We should try to help her ________ her shyness. A. overcome B. develop C. improve 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：莉莉害怕在公共场合讲话。我们应当努力帮助她克服害羞。 考查动词辨析。overcome克服；develop发展；improve提高。根据“ We should try to help her ...her shyness”可知，应是帮她客服害羞，故选A。 11.

The land is ________ rain because it hasn’t rained for several months. A. thirsty for B. useful to C. thankful to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这片土地渴望下雨，因为好几个月没有下雨了。 考查形容词短语。thirsty for渴望；useful to有益；thankful to感激。根据“it hasn’t rained for several months”可知这片土地渴望下雨，所以A选项符合题意，其它选项语意不通；故选A。 13. —The number of the students in our school has ________. —No wonder your school is in bad need of teachers! A. recycled B. dropped C. doubled 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们学校的学生人数翻了一番。——难怪你们学校急需教师！ 考查动词辨析。recycled回收利用；dropped减少；doubled加倍，增加了一倍。根据“No wonder your school is in bad need of teachers!”可知，应是学校学生人数增加了所以才需要更多的老师，故选C。 14. —What is the best way to see the beautiful countryside? —________.

It depends 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——看美丽乡村的最好方式是什么？——视情况而定。当我不需要赶时间的时候，我想要骑自行车去看看。 考查情景交际。Forget it算了吧；No problem没问题；It depends看情况而定。根据“When I don’t need to rush, I’d like to see it by bike.”可知，此处指视情况而定，当“我”不需要赶时间的时候，“我”想要骑自行车去看看。故选C。 15. —Could you tell me ________, Alex? —Without my teacher’s help, it’s impossible for me to get the prize.

This was their last exam—then on to graduation (毕业) and jobs. After four years of college, they felt ready to see the world. The exam, they knew, would be easy. The professor (教授) said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. They went into the room. The professor gave out the papers. And smiles became bigger as the students saw there were only five questions. Three hours passed. The professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. Instead, they looked worried. The professor asked, “How many of you finished all five questions?” Not a hand was raised. “How many answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” “One, then?” But the class still stayed quiet. The professor put down the papers. “That is what I expected,” he said. “I just want to tell you that even though you have finished four years of college, there are still many things about engineering that you don’t know. The questions you could not answer are about things you will work with every day.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just started. ” 31.

Don’t worry! Nobody actually expected you to start career planning at the kindergarten (幼儿园) stage. However, the timing of career planning matters a lot. While no age is ever too late to start making progress toward the career of your dreams, it is better to start today instead of tomorrow. Planning your career early enough comes with many advantages, from preparing you for challenges ahead to giving you much-needed experience. Then___▲____? A good first step is to perform a self-evaluation. Make a list of your strongest skills and interests. Then, close your eyes and imagine your ideal day at work. Would it be peaceful or challenging? Would you like to work with young people? Animals? Computers? When you imagine your future, what does it include? These questions can help you focus and narrow down your choices. You should also consider factors beyond personal preferences. For example, what qualifications (资格) are required to enter the field? If you don’t yet have the qualifications or experience that you need, what education do you need to prepare yourself? Regardless of where you’re at —whether you get good grades in exams or not—higher education gives you the shoes to take that next step. Because you’re equipped with practical skills and knowledge through education, and education is always something that employers (雇 主) like to see. On top of that, by gaining additional skills in communication and problem solving and achieving your goals, you can also increase your confidence. And studies have shown that greater confidence leads to greater career progress. 36. The question at the beginning of the text helps readers ________. A. think of an answer B. be better questioners C. improve their thinking D. understand the topic better 37. The writer advises us to start planning our career ________. A. as early as possible B. before entering the workplace C. during high school D. after receiving higher education 38. Which of the following can be put in the ___▲ ___ in Paragraph 3? A. when to start career planning B. how to make a career plan C. what to prepare for your study D. who to work and study with 39. What does “the shoes” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Exams and grades. B. Skills and knowledge. C. Goals and progress. D. Fashion and confidence. 40. The text is most probably written to ________. A. children at the kindergarten B. old men with lots of work experience C. employers in the companies D. teenagers at school or just finished school 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何制定职业规划。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Nobody actually expected you to start career planning at the kindergarten (幼儿园) stage. However, the timing of career planning matters a lot.”可知，作者开头提出问题是为了帮助读者更好地理解文章主题，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“While no age is ever too late to start making progress toward the career of your dreams, it is better to start today instead of tomorrow. Planning your career early enough comes with many advantages, from preparing you for challenges ahead to giving you much-needed experience.”可知，尽可能早地开始职业规划，故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A good first step is to perform a self-evaluation”可知，第三段主要讲解如何制定职业计划，故选B。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Because you’re equipped with practical skills and knowledge through education, and education is always something that employers (雇主) like to see”可知，因为你通过教育掌握了实用技能和知识，而教育总是雇主喜欢看到的，所以the shoes指的是“实用技能和知识”，故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you don’t yet have the qualifications or experience that you need, what education do you need to prepare yourself?”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何制定职业规划。所以文章可能是写给正在上学或刚毕业的青少年，故选D。 D In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and inactive. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan. 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful way that plants behave. Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “war field” in the show as only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe,” said David Attenborough, host of the-show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 41. What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A. Why plants can’t talk and think. B. Where wonderful plants are. C. How people change the plants. D. What great behaviors of plants are. 42. How does the writer prove the first sentence in Paragraph 3? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By raising questions. D. By making comparison. 43. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text? A. A vine can catch up in any other plant. B. Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others. C. 98%of sunlight can get through to the forest floor. D. Fungus is a good tool for some plants to “talk”to others. 44. According to David, we can infer (推断出) that ________. A. People can eat and breathe with the help of plants B. Wild plants produces all the food for lives on earth C. The plants in the TV show surprises David a lot D. Humans can do something to protect wild plants 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Amazing Plants B. Plants Never Talk C. Let’s Protect Plants D. Plants Are Important 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. D 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物不为人知的奇妙的行为方式。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Shown on Jan. 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful way that plants behave.”可知，这个《绿色星球》节目主要讲植物的神奇行为是什么，故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold.”可知，在这一段作者通过举例子证明植物为了生存而相互竞争，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Studies also show that plants use fungus as a way to ‘talk’ to each other.”可知，研究还表明，植物利用真菌作为一种相互“交谈”的方式，故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中“It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.”可知，人类可以采取一些措施来保护野生植物，故选D。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了植物不为人知的奇妙的行为方式，所以选项A“神奇的植物”符合文章大意，故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Some high schools have a group called student government. ____46____ Just as with a real government, a student government often has a president.

If you are interested in becoming a class president, here are a few tips: *____47____ Being class president can be a difficult job. It might mean going to many meetings and working with students and teachers. If you are dedicated (专注的), others will notice! *Be nice to classmates. As a class president, you will have to work with many people.

On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about their exam which would begin in a few minutes. There was confidence on their faces. This was their last exam—then on to graduation (毕业) and jobs. After four years of college, they felt ready to see the world. The exam, they knew, would be easy. The professor (教授) said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. They went into the room. The professor gave out the papers. And smiles became bigger as the students saw there were only five questions. Three hours passed. The professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. Instead, they looked worried. The professor asked, “How many of you finished all five questions?” Not a hand was raised. “How many answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” “One, then?” But the class still stayed quiet. The professor put down the papers. “That is what I expected,” he said. “I just want to tell you that even though you have finished four years of college, there are still many things about engineering that you don’t know. The questions you could not answer are about things you will work with every day.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just started. ” 31. How did students feel before the exam? A. B. C. D. 32. The students didn’t answer any questions because _________. A. there were too many questions B. they thought the exam was unnecessary C. the professor was strict with them D. the questions were beyond their learning 33. The professor wanted to tell his students _________. A. education should start at an early age B. engineering is a difficult subject to learn C. never to stop learning, even after graduation D. exams are not always as easy as they think 34. Which is the correct order of the events according to the text? ①The class kept quiet. ②The students became worried. ③The professor handed out papers. ④The students looked confident. A. ③④②① B. ④③②① C. ②③④① D. ④③①② 35. What can be the bent title for the text? A. An Unforgettable Exam B. A Funny Professor C. An Engineering Lesson D. A Special College C You undoubtedly were asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” when you were a young child. Don’t worry! Nobody actually expected you to start career planning at the kindergarten (幼儿园) stage. However, the timing of career planning matters a lot. While no age is ever too late to start making progress toward the career of your dreams, it is better to start today instead of tomorrow. Planning your career early enough comes with many advantages, from preparing you for challenges ahead to giving you much-needed experience. Then___▲____? A good first step is to perform a self-evaluation. Make a list of your strongest skills and interests. Then, close your eyes and imagine your ideal day at work. Would it be peaceful or challenging? Would you like to work with young people? Animals? Computers? When you imagine your future, what does it include? These questions can help you focus and narrow down your choices. You should also consider factors beyond personal preferences. For example, what qualifications (资格) are required to enter the field? If you don’t yet have the qualifications or experience that you need, what education do you need to prepare yourself? Regardless of where you’re at —whether you get good grades in exams or not—higher education gives you the shoes to take that next step. Because you’re equipped with practical skills and knowledge through education, and education is always something that employers (雇 主) like to see. On top of that, by gaining additional skills in communication and problem solving and achieving your goals, you can also increase your confidence. And studies have shown that greater confidence leads to greater career progress. 36. The question at the beginning of the text helps readers ________. A. think of an answer B. be better questioners C. improve their thinking D. understand the topic better 37. The writer advises us to start planning our career ________. A. as early as possible B. before entering the workplace C. during high school D. after receiving higher education 38. Which of the following can be put in the ___▲ ___ in Paragraph 3? A. when to start career planning B. how to make a career plan C. what to prepare for your study D. who to work and study with 39. What does “the shoes” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Exams and grades. B. Skills and knowledge. C. Goals and progress. D. Fashion and confidence. 40. The text is most probably written to ________. A. children at the kindergarten B. old men with lots of work experience C. employers in the companies D. teenagers at school or just finished school D In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and inactive. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan. 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful way that plants behave. Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “war field” in the show as only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe,” said David Attenborough, host of the-show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 41. What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A. Why plants can’t talk and think. B. Where wonderful plants are. C. How people change the plants. D. What great behaviors of plants are. 42. How does the writer prove the first sentence in Paragraph 3? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By raising questions. D. By making comparison. 43. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text? A. A vine can catch up in any other plant. B. Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others. C. 98%of sunlight can get through to the forest floor. D. Fungus is a good tool for some plants to “talk”to others. 44. According to David, we can infer (推断出) that ________. A. People can eat and breathe with the help of plants B. Wild plants produces all the food for lives on earth C. The plants in the TV show surprises David a lot D. Humans can do something to protect wild plants 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Amazing Plants B. Plants Never Talk C. Let’s Protect Plants D. Plants Are Important 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Some high schools have a group called student government. ____46____ Just as with a real government, a student government often has a president.
