1. Wu Yishu, 16-year-old girl from Shanghai, won final of this year Chinese Poetry Conference(《中国诗词大会》.
A. a; a B. a; the C. the; the D. the; a
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:武亦姝,来自上海的一个16岁的女孩,赢得了今年的中国诗歌研讨会的决赛。
考查冠词用法。不定冠词a/an表示“一”的意思,16-year-old(sixteen [ˌsɪksˈti:n] ),是辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a,特指用定冠词the;结合句意和语境可知选B。
2. —I really don't know about my problem. —I’ll be a good listener. I think.
A. what to talk B. who to talk C. whom to talk to D. how to talk
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:-我真的不知道和谁谈论我的问题。-我想我会是一个很好的倾听者。what to talk谈论什么;who to talk中缺少一个介词,和某人交谈应该是talk to sb.;whom to talk to和谁交谈;how to talk如何交谈。根据下面的回答I’ll be a good listener可知,这里是不知道和谁去交谈,故应选C。
3. —Dear, please get some fruit before it .
—OK I’ll go to the supermarket at once.
A. runs out B. is run out C. is running out D. will be run out
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:-亲爱的,请在水果吃完之前买一些。-好的,我马上就去超市。runs out用完,用尽;is run out是被动语态的形式,但是run out不用于被动语态;is running out快要用完;will be run out一般将来时的被动语态。before引导的是时间状语从句,从句中用一般现在时态,run out不用于被动语态,故应选A。
4. —You will have to move—you are . —I’m sorry.
A. on my way B. in this way C. by the way D. in my way
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:-你将不得不移动-你挡了我的路了。-对不起。on my way在去…的路上;in this way用这种方式;by the way顺便说一下;in my way挡我的路。根据句意You will have to move可知,这里是挡路了,所以不得不移动一下,故应选D。
5. ________ May 7 local time, Emmanuel Macron won France’s president election. ________ the age of 39, he will be the country’s youngest president.
A. On; In B. On; At C. In; In D. In; At
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:当地时间5月7日,埃马纽埃尔·马克龙赢得法国总统大选。年仅39岁的他将成为法国历史上最年轻的总统。
考查介词辨析。on+具体的某一天;in+时间段;at在。“May 7”是具体的一天,应用介词on修饰;at the age of“在……岁时”,为固定搭配。故选B。
6. They walked home last night because they couldn’t _____ to take a taxi.
A. leave B. buy C. afford D. allow
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们昨天晚上步行回家,因为他们负担不起坐出租车。
考查动词词义辨析。leave 离开;buy买;afford 买得起,负担得起;allow允许。这句话中使用的句型是couldn’t afford to do sth.负担不起去做某事,故选C。
7. Mary used to in the countryside, but now she is used to in the city.
A. live ; live B. live ; living C. living ; live D. living ; living
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:玛丽过去住在乡下,但是现在她习惯于住在城市里。
考查动词短语辨析。过去常常:used to +动词原形(to后跟动词原形);习惯于做某事:be used to doing sth(to后跟动名词形式);被用于做某事:be used to do sth(to后跟动词原形)。根据“but now”可知,前后对比过去和现在,故选B。
8. This is ________ educational computer ________ five levels.
A. a; has B. an; with C. a; with D. an; has
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这是一台具有五个级别的教育计算机。
考查冠词和介词的用法。“educational”以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰;“is”已作该句谓语,句中没有连词,此处不能填动词has作谓语,应填介词with“有”。故选B。
9. UNICEF was _________ in l946 to improve children's lives after World War II.
A. given up B. put up C. set up D. got up
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:联合国儿童基金会成立于1946年,致力于改善第二次世界大战后儿童的生活。A. given up放弃;B. put up张贴;C. set up建立、成立;D. got up起床。UNICEF是一个国际组织,根据to improve children's lives,为了改善孩子们的生活,可知应该是指联合国儿童基金会成立了,结合选项,可知C选项set up“建立、成立”符合题意,故答案选C。
点睛:分析句子结构可知主语UNICEF是动作set up的承受者,句子应该用被动语态,1946年是一个过去的时间,所以本句应使用一般过去时的被动语态,其构成为were/was+动词的过去分词。由句意可知set up“建立,成立”符合题意,set的过去分词形式是原形,故答案选C。
10. ﹣What should we do for the disabled children in the Children’s Home?

Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it.
Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought (对抗) the British army (军队).
In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information (情报) from the British army.
He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots (靴子). He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up.
But as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. British soldiers (士兵) caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots.
Hale died on September 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret (遗憾) I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar (类似的) to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil (土壤) insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish (墨鱼) in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人) will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
33. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because ________.
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high
C. locusts are smarter than birds D. locusts can change their color
34. According to the passage, most soil insects _________.
A. do not have bright colors B. change their colors with the soil
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment D. eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
35. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?
A. 繁殖 B. 产卵 C. 觅食 D. 生存
36. The ink fish ________ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black
C. appears only at night D. hides itself in the sea rocks
【答案】33. D 34. A 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了不同昆虫和动物如何通过改变颜色或利用环境来保护自己,从而避免被捕食者发现。
33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops.”可知,蝗虫的颜色会随着庄稼的颜色变化,这使得鸟类难以捕捉它们。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“Soil insects are mostly dark-colored...”可知,土壤昆虫大多为深色,即颜色不鲜艳。故选A。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章“However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.”可知,颜色与植物不同的昆虫很容易被发现并被吃掉,所以为了生存,它们不得不昼伏夜出,“survive”在这里的意思是“生存”。故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world.”可知,墨鱼通过释放黑色墨水使周围的水变黑,从而让敌人看不到它。故选B。

I didn’t just want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.
Deep, deep down ask yourself: “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself: “What makes you happy?”
You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be liked and avoid trouble?
We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.
I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that it couldn’t be done. They said: “Look at this body, you have this huge body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.
Then I got my big break (重大转机) in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
On that movie the director said: “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said: “I’ll be back…” One of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent (腔调). It just shows you that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.
Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed (吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.
—By Arnold Schwarzenegger—

A. he was sure he could achieve something in acting
B. he received a lot of help from his family and friends
C. he found acting more fun than bodybuilding
D. he was ready to listen to others’ advice ‘
38. We know from his speech that Schwarzenegger is ________.
A. stubborn and arrogant (傲慢的) B. patient and reliable (可靠的)
C. modest and old-fashioned D. confident and strong-willed
39. The underlined phrase “think outside the box” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. think while standing outside the box instead of inside the box
B. think about the outside world in an open way
C. go outside to see the outside world
D. think in a creative and unusual way
40. In his speech, Schwarzenegger mainly suggests that people should ________.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇著名影星施瓦辛格的演讲稿,文章主要讲述了施瓦辛格由自己成功的经历告诫读者:保持积极向上的人生态度,不要害怕失败,坚信自己定会成功。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“I was completely certain that I could do it”可知,当施瓦辛格决定拍电影时,他很确定自己能拍电影并取得成就。故选A。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,当施瓦辛格决定拍电影时,有人向他说他不适合拍电影,但是他没有丧失信心,继续在拍电影的这条道路上前行,不畏惧失败,勇往直前,最后证明他是一位非常好的演员,因此可以表明他是一位很有自信的人且意志强大,即confident and strong-willed。故选D。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules”可知,生活中有很多的规则限制我们,我们应该打破规则。当有人质疑施瓦辛格不能拍电影时,他用实际行动证明了自己。因此此处指的是“我们不能被世俗的框架限定住,不应该死板的遵守现在的规则,应该在规则之外,以一种不寻常的、创造性的方式思考”。故选D。

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共10小题; 每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears.
This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.
It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn’t always warm. During the night time, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴). They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

【71题详解】
根据“In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears.”可知,耳廓狐生活在北非和沙特阿拉伯的沙漠地区,所以北非和沙特阿拉伯的沙漠地区是它们的生活区域,living areas“生活区域”。故填Living。

【74题详解】
根据“And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.”可知,耳廓狐脚上的毛发保护它们免受白天沙子的高温,heat“高温”,不可数名词,作宾语。故填heat。
【75题详解】
根据“And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.”可知,耳廓狐有非常好的听力,hearing“听力”,不可数名词。故填hearing。
【76题详解】
根据“In addition to their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.”可知,耳廓狐还利用它们敏锐的嗅觉来寻找食物。故填smell。
【77题详解】
根据“They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun.”可知,耳廓狐白天大部分时间都在洞穴里睡觉,动词sleep“睡觉”符合文意,主语为复数,谓语动词用原形。故填sleep。
【78题详解】
根据“Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food.”可知,耳廓狐在夜晚变得活跃并出来寻找食物,at night“在夜晚”。故填night。
【79题详解】
根据“They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.”可知,鸟、蛋、昆虫、蜗牛、水果和树叶都是耳廓狐最喜欢的食物,形容词favourite/favorite“最喜欢的”修饰名词“foods”。故填favourite/favorite。
【80题详解】
根据“Still, they have to watch out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.”可知,捕食性动物和人类对耳廓狐来说都是危险的,此处应用不可数名词danger“危险”。故填Danger。

In films, spies (间谍) are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives.
American spy Nathan Hale (1755–1776) was one of these people.
Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it.
Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought (对抗) the British army (军队).
In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information (情报) from the British army.
He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots (靴子). He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up.
But as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. British soldiers (士兵) caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots.
Hale died on September 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret (遗憾) I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar (类似的) to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil (土壤) insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish (墨鱼) in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人) will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

I didn’t just want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.
Deep, deep down ask yourself: “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself: “What makes you happy?”
You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be liked and avoid trouble?
We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.
I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that it couldn’t be done. They said: “Look at this body, you have this huge body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.
Then I got my big break (重大转机) in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
On that movie the director said: “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said: “I’ll be back…” One of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent (腔调). It just shows you that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.
Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed (吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.
—By Arnold Schwarzenegger—

38. We know from his speech that Schwarzenegger is ________.
A. stubborn and arrogant (傲慢的) B. patient and reliable (可靠的)

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共10小题; 每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears.
This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.
It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn’t always warm. During the night time, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴). They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.
