A．the; a B．the; the C．a; the D．a; a 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——这是我告诉你很多次的电影。——太棒了。我从未见过比这更有趣的了。 考查冠词。根据“film I’ve told you many times”可知此处特指“我”告诉你很多次的电影，用定冠词the；第二个空泛指“一个更有趣的电影”，more以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故选A。 2．The computer rooms in your school are much larger than ________ in our school. A．those B．that C．ones D．it 【答案】A 【详解】句意：你们学校的机房比我们学校的大得多。 考查代词辨析。those那些；that那个；ones一些；it它。为了避免重复，比较级的句子中用that或those代替前文出现的名词，结合computer rooms可知，用those指代，故选A。 3．—Look! ________ the roller coaster is moving ________! —Wow! I am beginning to feel dizzy (头晕目眩的) now. A．What a high speed; / B．What high speed; / C．What high speed; at D．How high speed; at 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——看！过山车在以多么高的速度在运行呀！——哇！我现在开始感到头晕目眩。 考查感叹句和介词短语。根据“high speed”可知，中心词是不可数名词speed，符合感叹句结构“what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语+其他”，因此第一空“What high speed”符合句意；“以……速度”用介词at，故选C。 4．There may be _________ in Mount Huang, but the weather is very nice. A．some rains B．some rain C．some rainy D．a lot of rains 【答案】B 【详解】句意：黄山可能会下雨，但天气很好。 考查不可数名词。此处是there be句型，空处用名词作主语，排除C；rain是不可数名词，排除AD。故选B。 5．—________ local people’s life, the government has built a sports centre. —Great! There are more places for people to have fun. A．Improve B．Improving C．To improving D．To improve 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——为了改善当地人民的生活，政府建了一个体育中心。——太好了。有更多的地方让人们玩得开心。 考查非谓语动词。根据“local people’s life, the government has built a sports centre.”可知，政府修建体育中心的目的是为了改善当地人的生活，空处用不定式作目的状语。故选D。 6．It is half a year ________ they met each other last time. A．until B．before C．while D．since 【答案】D 【详解】句意：自从他们上次见面已经半年了。 考查连词。until直到；before之前；while当、然而；since自从。句型“It is/has been+时间段+since+一般过去时从句”意思是“自从……已经……时间了。”，故选D。 7．—Look!

A．must; can’t B．must; mustn’t C．can’t; can’t D．can’t; mustn’t 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——看！门口的那个人一定是我们的校长。他每天早上总是站在那里。  — —不，不能是他。他正在办公室开会。must一定，必须；mustn't不可以；can't不可能；根据本题的前句He is always standing there every morning，可知校长总是站在门旁，那么在门旁的那个人是校长的可能性很大，故用must；再根据He is holding a meeting in the office now，可知校长正在开会，那么在门旁的那个人不可能是校长，故用can't，表不可能。故选A。 8．—________ did your uncle leave his hometown? —He ________ for nearly twenty years. A．When; has left B．When; has been away C．How long; has left D．How long; has been away 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——你的叔叔离开家乡有多久了？——他离开将近20年了。 考查特殊疑问句和现在完成时。第一个空后的leave“离开”是短暂性动词，How long后面的动词应该用延续性动作，所以选项C、D不正确；第二个空后的for nearly twenty years表示“持续了将近二十年”，时态应为现在完成时，应将短暂性动词转换为延续性动词be away，主语为He为第三人称单数形式，结合现在完成时结构故为has been away。故选B。 9．If the temperature is below 0℃, water will ________ ice in the open air. A．turn up B．turn on C．turn into D．turn down 【答案】C 【详解】句意：如果温度低于0℃，水在户外会变成冰。 考查动词短语。turn up开大声音；turn on打开；turn into变成；turn down关小。根据“water will...ice”可知是水变成冰。故选C。 10．The life we were used to_________ a lot over the years. A．changing B．changed C．has changed D．change 【答案】C 【详解】句意：这些年来，我们曾经习惯的生活发生了很大的变化。考查现在完成时。A. changing动名词；B. changed过去式；C. has changed现在完成时；D. change改变，动词原形。题干中 we were used to 是定语，修饰名词life ，所以句子就变成了 The life ____ a lot over the years.现在完成时基本用法之一：表示过去已经开始，持续到现在，而且还可能继续下去的动作或状态；根据over the years，可知变化已经发生并有可能会持续下去，应该用现在完成时态。现在完成时态的构成：助动词have/has+过去分词，主语 The life，是第三人单数，所以应该用has，change的过去分词是changed；故答案选C。 11．More and more high school students want to go ________ for ________ study. A．to abroad, further B．abroad, farther C．to abroad, farther D．abroad, further 【答案】D 【详解】句意：越来越多的高中生想出国深造。 考查动词短语及形容词辨析。abroad在国外，为副词，其前不加to，即go abroad“出国”；farther更远的，强调距离；further进一步的，强调程度。根据“study”可知，此处是指进一步的学习，指程度，用further，further study表示“深造”。故选D。 12．I can’t play games with my friends ________ before, because I have too much homework to do. A．as many as B．as good as C．as often as D．as free as 【答案】C 【详解】句意：我不能像以前那样经常和我的朋友玩游戏了，因为我有太多的作业要做。 考查副词原级。as many as和……一样多；as good as和……一样好；as often as和……一样经常；as free as和……一样自由。根据“because I have too much homework to do”可知，是指不能和以前一样经常玩游戏了，故选C。 13．It’s very kind _______ you to buy an air ticket ________ Singapore for me． A．for；for B．for；to C．of；to D．of；of 【答案】C 【详解】句意：你为我买到新加坡的票你真好。 考查介词用法。kind 可以指人的品性，用of 指人的品性。It is 形容词 of sb to do sth，固定用法，做某事某人真……。故排除AB；a ticket to...表示“到某地的票”。故选C。 14．—I don’t think there is ________ with the coat. —It fits well. A． something wrong B．wrong something B． C．anything wrong D．wrong anything 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我不认为这件外套有什么问题。——它很合身。 考查复合不定代词和定语后置。something wrong出了问题；wrong something错误表达；anything wrong出了问题；wrong anything错误表达。wrong是形容词，something和anything是复合不定代词，其修饰成分都要置于其后，所以选项B和选项D都表达错误；something常用于肯定句中，anything常用于否定句和疑问句中，根据“I don’t think there is...with the coat.”可知，这是一个否定句。故选C。 15．— I am going to visit Mount Lu during the winter holiday. — Really? ________. A．See you soon B．Have fun C．It’s nice of you D．That’s all right 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——寒假期间我打算去庐山游玩。——真的吗？玩得开心。 考查情景交际。See you soon再见；Have fun玩得开心；It’s nice of you你真好；That’s all right没关系。根据“I am going to visit Mount Lu during the winter holiday.”可知对方打算去游玩，Have fun符合情境。故选B。 二、完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，计15分） I’m enjoying my stay in Canada.

He was washed to the beach. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.) The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers. After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went also. There were strong guards 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. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope 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 were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. Emperor 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 Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be 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 much illness all over the country. 34．Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first? A．They wanted to kill him and got his eyes. B．They were afraid of him because he was too big. C．They thought he would attack the king. D．They liked him so much and wanted to make fun of him. 35．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) “________” .

This might cause much illness all over the country.”可知他们认为他的尸体会散发出臭味，在他们的国家会引起很多疾病。故选D。 C Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? For many kids, staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an astronaut. Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet! Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space, it would be a lot of work, too. Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation. Once you are in space, nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out. You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let’s call these things “inputs”, including food, water and oxygen. Every input creates an output. If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it’s empty? Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you. Your body will also output food and water. Since nothing can leave the spaceship, you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes. Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）! It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe. However, plants have other input needs. If you take a banana tree with you, you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive. You must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks-the banana peel. See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space? How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and your future? Not only do you have to think about all the things you’ll need, you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they may create. 38．What do we know about the input in space? A．It will make astronauts sleepy. B．It only means things to eat and drink. C．It is quite important to astronauts. D．It can help astronauts deal with rubbish. 39．Which of the following is an “output” according to paragraph 3? A．some cookies B．food and water C．your oxygen mask D．the empty cookie box 40．What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about? A．The reason why breathing creates an output. B．A way to plant a banana tree in space successfully. C．The reason why plants depend on carbon dioxide. D．A way to deal with carbon dioxide in the spaceship. 41．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to prepare for a trip to outer space B．How to deal with wastes in the spaceship C．Differences between inputs and outputs D．Different ways to deal with wastes in space 【答案】38．C 39．D 40．D 41．A 【导语】本文主要讲去太空需要做好哪些准备。 38．细节理解题。根据“You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let’s call these things ‘inputs’, including food, water and oxygen.”可知输入的有食物，水和氧气，这些对于宇航员来说都是很重要的东西，故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it’s empty? Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you.”可知空的饼干盒子是输出的东西，故选D。 40．段落大意题。根据“Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）! It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe...”可知本段主要讲人们呼吸产生的二氧化碳将如何被处理，故选D。 41．最佳标题题。本文主要讲去太空应做的准备，包括输入和输出两个部分，故选A。 D Chinese tourists flock（涌入）to Morocco during Spring Festival. In the Chinese restaurant of Chefchaouen, one of the top tourist attractions（旅游景点）in Morocco, an area of less than 100 square meters was full of more than a hundred Chinese tourists, with a lot more waiting outside, during the Chinese Spring Festival. “Boss, can I have my Kung-Pao Chicken now?” “Boss, is my beef noodles ready?” Some visitors were not patient enough to wait long for their ordered foods. Restaurant owner said that during the Spring Festival, her business was much better than usual. Another Chinese restaurant owner in Fes, Morocco’s central city, had the same experience.

They are usually used to represent things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. It was said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Liang. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. Sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations today. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Chinese paper-cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. It may sound very easy but is difficult to practise. The paper, usually red, is folded (折叠) before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put up on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Chinese clay (泥塑) art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. Then they are painted after polishing (抛光). Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added as decorations (装饰). It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。 56．Who first used sky lanterns? 57．What are sky lanterns seen as bright symbols of? 58．How long has Chinese paper-cutting been around? 59．Where are the most common pictures put up during the Spring Festival? 60．How are the clay pieces carefully shaped from a very special kind of clay?     【答案】56．Zhuge Liang. 57．Happiness and good wishes. 58．For more than 1,500 years. 59．On windows, doors and walls. 60．By hand. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了三种中国的传统艺术形式：孔明灯、剪纸和泥塑。 56．根据“It was said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Liang.”可知，孔明灯最早是诸葛亮用的。故填Zhuge Liang. 57．根据“They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.”可知，孔明灯被视为幸福和美好愿望的明亮象征。故填Happiness and good wishes. 58．根据“Chinese paper-cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years.”可知，剪纸已经存在1500多年了，故填For more than 1,500 years. 59．根据“During the Spring Festival, they are put up on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.”可知，在春节期间，它们被贴在门窗和墙壁上，象征着祝好运和新年快乐。故填On windows, doors and walls. 60．根据“The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry.”可知，黏土碎片由手工精心塑造，故填By hand. 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） Tara arrived at Heston High a year ago.

When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.) The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers. After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went also. There were strong guards 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. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope 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 were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. Emperor 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 Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be 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 much illness all over the country. 34．Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first? A．They wanted to kill him and got his eyes. B．They were afraid of him because he was too big. C．They thought he would attack the king. D．They liked him so much and wanted to make fun of him. 35．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) “________” . A．the guards B．the officers C．the six men D．the soldiers 36．Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ①The Emperor ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ②They couldn’t understand each other. ③The Emperor spoke. ④Gulliver didn’t punish the six tiny people and let them go. ⑤The Emperor left. A．③⑤②①④ B．③②⑤④① C．⑤①④③② D．②⑤①③④ 37．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 to kill him. C．The Emperor 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. C Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? For many kids, staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an astronaut. Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet! Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space, it would be a lot of work, too. Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation. Once you are in space, nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out. You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let’s call these things “inputs”, including food, water and oxygen. Every input creates an output. If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it’s empty? Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you. Your body will also output food and water. Since nothing can leave the spaceship, you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes. Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）! It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe. However, plants have other input needs. If you take a banana tree with you, you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive. You must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks-the banana peel. See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space? How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and your future? Not only do you have to think about all the things you’ll need, you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they may create. 38．What do we know about the input in space? A．It will make astronauts sleepy. B．It only means things to eat and drink. C．It is quite important to astronauts. D．It can help astronauts deal with rubbish. 39．Which of the following is an “output” according to paragraph 3? A．some cookies B．food and water C．your oxygen mask D．the empty cookie box 40．What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about? A．The reason why breathing creates an output. B．A way to plant a banana tree in space successfully. C．The reason why plants depend on carbon dioxide. D．A way to deal with carbon dioxide in the spaceship. 41．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to prepare for a trip to outer space B．How to deal with wastes in the spaceship C．Differences between inputs and outputs D．Different ways to deal with wastes in space D Chinese tourists flock（涌入）to Morocco during Spring Festival. In the Chinese restaurant of Chefchaouen, one of the top tourist attractions（旅游景点）in Morocco, an area of less than 100 square meters was full of more than a hundred Chinese tourists, with a lot more waiting outside, during the Chinese Spring Festival. “Boss, can I have my Kung-Pao Chicken now?” “Boss, is my beef noodles ready?” Some visitors were not patient enough to wait long for their ordered foods. Restaurant owner said that during the Spring Festival, her business was much better than usual. Another Chinese restaurant owner in Fes, Morocco’s central city, had the same experience. The waiters said during the Spring Festival, a large number of Chinese tourists waited in lines for meals every day. In the southern Moroccan town of Marrakech, tourist buses full of Chinese tourists can be found everywhere during the Spring Festival. In Majorelle Garden, a famous tourist attraction, two girls from Ningbo, a city in East China’s Zhejiang province, said they chose Morocco as their Spring Festival travel place to taste the country’s special food. Morocco’s Minister of Tourism Mohamed Sajid said it hopes to attract（吸引）500,000 Chinese tourists each year by 2020. Sajid also said Morocco is working to improve hotels, transports and tourist reception. He said direct flights between Morocco and China are being discussed, which is one of the key factors to attract Chinese tourists. 42．Where can we probably find this article? A．In a newspaper. B．In a sports magazine. C．In a storybook. D．In a cookbook. 43．What do the two girls from Ningbo come to Morocco for? A．shopping B．Chinese restaurants C．Moroccan food D．tourist attractions 44．Which is one of the key factors to attract Chinese visitors? A．hotels B．transports C．food D．direct flights 45．We can infer from the passage that _________. A．Sajid is the president of Morocco.

They are usually used to represent things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. It was said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Liang. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. Sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations today. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Chinese paper-cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. It may sound very easy but is difficult to practise. The paper, usually red, is folded (折叠) before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put up on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Chinese clay (泥塑) art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry.
