He went to see it last week. A. has; No B. has; Yes C. hasn’t; Yes D. hasn’t; No 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——-他之前从来没看过《维护防暴队》这部电影，对吗？——不。他上周去看了。 考查反意疑问句。反意疑问句遵循“前肯后否，前否后肯”的原则，前句中有never，属于否定形式，所以后句用肯定形式，排除C和D；根据“He went to see it last week.”可知，此处应作肯定回答，用“Yes”，表示“不，他看过”。故选B。 4. It’s bad manners to ________ on others when they are talking.

A. spent B. have spent C. are spending D. has spent 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：露西和她的朋友在过去几周的大部分空闲时间都花在了一个项目上。 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子中的时间状语“over the past few weeks”表明动作发生在过去并持续到现在，因此需要使用现在完成时。主语“Lucy as well as her friend”中，谓语动词的单复数形式应与“Lucy”一致，即单数形式。故选D。 6. — Mum, can you give me some advice on how to behave myself at the table? — Well, I do have some advice. ________, please keep quiet while eating. A. In all B. Of all C. At all D. Above all 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，你能给我一些关于餐桌得体举止的建议吗？ ——嗯，我有一些建议。首先，吃饭时请保持安静。 考查介词短语。In all总计；Of all在所有的……之中；At all一点也不；Above all首先。根据上文“Well, I do have some advice”可知，此处要从第一条起开始列举建议了，故空格处应填意为“首先”的短语。故选D。 7. —Why didn’t Sally play the violin at the concert last night? —She said that her hand hurt, but that was only a(n) _______. I saw her play tennis just now. A. matter B. excuse C. result D. expression 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么莎莉在昨晚的音乐会上没有拉小提琴？ ——她说她的手疼，但那只是一个借口。我刚才看见她打网球了。 考查名词辨析。matter问题；excuse借口；result结果；expression表情。根据“I saw her play tennis just now.”可知，手疼只是一个借口。故选B。 8. —Chinese movie Pegasus 2 (《飞驰人生2》) is ________ a wonderful film that I want to watch it again. —________. I have seen it twice. A. so; It doesn’t matter B. such; I agree C. such; I don’t think so D. so; I’m afraid not 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——中国电影《飞驰人生2》是一部如此精彩的电影，我想再看一次。——我认同。我已经看过两次了。 考查副词用法及情景交际。It doesn’t matter没关系；I agree我同意；I don’t think so我不认为如此；I’m afraid not我恐怕不行。根据“...a wonderful film that I want to watch it again.”可知，a wonderful film为名词短语，故需such+a(an)+adj.+名词单数+that...句型，引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”，故排除选项A和D；根据“I have seen it twice.”可知，表示赞同，可用I agree“我同意”。故选B。 9. To the parents of the left-children, the most important thing is ________ make much money ________ get together. A. not to; but B. not; but C. not; but to D. not to; but to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于留守儿童的父母来说，最重要的事情不是赚很多钱，而是团聚。 考查非谓语动词。根据“To the parents of the left-children, the most important thing is…make much money…get together.”可知，此处是not to do but to do结构，意为“不是做……而是做……”。故选D。 10. — I hear that the old man has given up ________. —Yes, he has already ________. A. drinking; given it up B. to drink; given up it C. drinking; given up it D. to drink; given it up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我听说老人已经戒酒了。——是的，他已经把酒戒掉了。 考查非谓语动词和代词宾格。“give up doing sth”放弃做某事，其后应接动词的ing形式，故第一个空填drinking；“give up”是动词+副词型短语，当后接宾语为名词时放在短语中间、后面均可，当后接宾语为人称代词宾格时必须放在短语中间，故选A。 11. —How did you learn to cook the fish? —________ watching videos. I have learnt to cook many dishes ________ this way. A. By; on B. With; in C. By; in D. With; on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你是如何学会做鱼的？——通过看视频。我用这种方式学会了做很多菜。 考查介词辨析。by通过某种方式或手段；with借助某种工具；in采用；on在……上面。“watching videos”是学会做鱼的方式，所以第一个空用by；“this way”表示这种方式，“in this way”表示“用这种方式”，所以第二个空用in。故选C。 12. They didn’t have enough money ________ their work. A. to carry on B. to carry on with C. carrying on with D. carried on with 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们没有足够的钱来继续他们的工作。 考查动词短语。carry on继续；carry on with sth继续某事。空后有“their work”，故空处用carry on with；have enough money to do sth.表示“有足够的钱做某事”，是固定搭配。故选B。 13. Mrs. Wang has spent ________ energy on the project these days, so she feels ________ tired now. A. too much; much too B. much too; too much C. too much; too much D. much too; much too 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：王女士这些天已经在该项目上花费了太多能量，所以她现在感到太累了。 考查副词用法。too much太多，其后跟不可数名词；much too太，修饰形容词或副词。energy“能量”为不可数名词，需too much修饰；tired“累的”为形容词，需much too修饰。故选A。 14. _______ of us live on rice. We live _______ on rice. A. Mostly; most B. Most; almost C. Mostly; almost D. Most; mostly 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们大多数人以大米为生。我们几乎完全以大米为生。 考查副词辨析。mostly大多数；most最多；almost几乎。根据“...of us live on rice. We live...on rice.”可知，第一空表示“大多数”，用Most；第二空表示“几乎完全”，用mostly。故选D。 15. —Gu Ailing ________ her dream and won two gold medals in Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. —___________excellent girl! A. achieved; How B. came true; How C. achieved; What an D. came true; What an 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——谷爱凌实现了她的梦想，在2022年冬奥会上赢得了两枚金牌。——多么棒的女孩！ 考查动词和感叹句。achieved实现，主语是人；came true成真，主语是物（梦想）。“what”引导感叹句结构是“what +a/an 形容词+名词+主语+谓语动词”。“how” 引导感叹句结构是“how +形容词/副词+主语+谓语动词”。根据“Gu Ailing”可知主语是人，第一空表达实现梦想，用动词“achieved”。根据“girl”可知是可数名词，“excellent”是元音音素开始的单词，用“what an”引导感叹句。故选C。 16. Amy’s been ________ for a month. She’s got a serious blood ________. A. ill; sickness B. sickness; illness C. sick; disease D. illness; disease 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：艾米病了一个月了。她得了严重的血液病。 考查形容词及名词辨析。ill生病的，只作表语用；sick生病的，可作表语或定语；sickness疾病，不健康；illness指身体或精神上的疾病；disease指具体的病。第一句缺少表语，排除BD；根据“a serious blood ...”可知得了血液病，是具体的病，用disease。故选C。 17. —It’s necessary for us to spend more time with our grandparents. —________.

I’m not sure 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们有必要花更多的时间和祖父母在一起。——我也这么想。我们上大学后，他们就不会经常见到我们了。 考查情景交际。I hope not我希望不是；I think so我也这么想；I’m sorry我很抱歉；I’m not sure我不确定。根据“It’s necessary for us to spend more time with our grandparents.”和“They won’t see us often after we go to college.”可知，后者赞同前者的看法，故选B。 18. —It’s important for everyone ________ polite. —That’s true. We should always avoid ________ rude to anyone. A. to be; to be B. to be; being C. being; to be D. being; being 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对每个人来说，有礼貌是很重要的。——没错。我们应该始终避免对任何人粗鲁。 考查非谓语动词。第一空考查“It’s important for sb. to do sth”的结构，表示“对某人来说做某事是重要的”，因此第一空应填“to be”。第二空考查“avoid doing sth”的结构，表示“避免做某事”，因此第二空应填“being”。故选B。 19. —Did the doctors succeed in saving the patient? —Yes. He ________ on the morning of June 2, and now he is out of danger. A. was operated B. operated C. operated on D. was operated on 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——医生们成功地挽救了病人吗？——是的。6月2日早晨他动了手术，现在他已脱离危险。 考查一般过去时的被动语态。he与动词operate之间是被动的关系，因此要用被动语态，排除BC；operate on sb“为某人做手术”，on不能省略；而题干的on是时间介词。故选D。 20. —How much I missed my family and friends when I was abroad! —Me too. ________ A. A miss is as good as a mile. B. Great minds think alike. C. East, west, home is best. D.

The girl told her she wanted to take the bread back home for her mother. Her mother would give birth to a baby soon and her home was far from the hospital. Even worse, there were no doctors in her village. Marie asked Dr Wang to save her mother. Dr Wang took her medical box and went to Marie’s home. They had to climb several hills. They didn’t reach the village until midnight. When they got there, Dr Wang gave her mother an operation at once, but she wasn’t able to save the woman because she had lost too much blood. The baby was saved. Marie’s father was so poor that he had no money to raise his baby, so Dr Wang decided to bring up the child. When she returned home, her husband couldn’t understand why she brought back a black baby. From then on, the baby lived with the doctor’s family. When people asked Dr Wang why she did this, she said that if everyone gave true love to others, the world would be more beautiful. 41. Marie put all the food into an old box because she ________.

The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. WAY 2: Turn off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds. WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced (替换) one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing. WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year. 46. How many ways are mentioned (提及) in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 47. What will happen if our PC is turned off when it isn’t in use? A. It will help to save a large amount of money. B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO₂. C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile. D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees. 48. Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things? A. Ways 3 & 4. B.

The Shenzhou XVIII spaceship’s three astronauts went to the space station and met the Shenzhou XVII astronauts on April 26th. The Shenzhou XVIII members were all born in the 1980s, making them a young group of astronauts. “We never run out of things to talk about,” Shenzhou XVIII astronaut Li Cong told Xinhua. Shenzhou XVIII astronaut Li Guangsu is the first student of liberal arts (文科) in high school among China’s third batch (批) of astronauts. During their six-month stay in space, they will do more than 90 kinds of science experiments (实验). For example, they brought a fish tank full of water to the space station. Four zebrafish and algae (水藻) live inside it. The algae give the fish oxygen (氧气), keeping them alive. The fish tank is smart too—it can feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs on its own. Why zebrafish? It’s because they share 70 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. “Next, we plan on bringing mice to space,” Zhang Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) told CCTV News. Studying animals in space can help us understand how the human body reacts (反应) to space conditions. 51. What do we know about the Shenzhou XVIII astronauts? A. They have been in space for about six months. B. They arrived at the space station on April 26th. C. They don’t talk with each other often. D. All three of them are of the same age. 52. What will the astronauts do during their stay in space? A. Do science experiments. B. Make a smart fish tank. C. Plant a new type of algae. D. Study the temperature changes. 53. Why do astronauts choose zebrafish for space experiments? A. Because they are good pets. B. Because they are easy to train. C. Because they need little food in space. D. Because they share many genes with humans. 54. What else do the astronauts take to keep the zebrafish alive? A. Another big tank. B. Mice. C. Algae. D. A special kind of water. 55. According to the last sentence, studying animals in space is _________. A. difficult B. important C. interesting D. dangerous 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国天宫空间站迎接新的宇航员以及他们在空间站将进行超过90种科学实验的情况。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Shenzhou XVIII spaceship’s three astronauts went to the space station and met the Shenzhou XVII astronauts on April 26th.”可知，神舟十八号宇航员于4月26日抵达空间站并与神舟十七号宇航员会面。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During their six-month stay in space, they will do more than 90 kinds of science experiments (实验).”可知，宇航员将进行90多种科学实验。故选A。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Why zebrafish?

Education is good for both boys and girls. we want more girls in schools. Child Workers Many children do not go to school, and they work in factories. They often work for twelve or fourteen hours a day. And about 300,000 children in the world are soldiers—some are only eight years old! This is wrong and we want to stop it. Medicine Every year more than two million children die of diseases because they do not have enough medicine. Medicine is not expensive. We give medicine to 40% of the world’s children mainly in Africa and Asia. WHAT CAN YOU DO? * Buy UNICEF products such as cards, T-shirts, teddy bears... * Donate $17 to protect a child from children’s diseases; $40 to buy clothes for ten children; $150 to buy clean water for 250 children; $500 to bring vitamins (维生素) for 16,000 children. 36.

She found a girl named Marie putting the food into an old box instead of eating it, so she asked her why she did so. The girl told her she wanted to take the bread back home for her mother. Her mother would give birth to a baby soon and her home was far from the hospital. Even worse, there were no doctors in her village. Marie asked Dr Wang to save her mother. Dr Wang took her medical box and went to Marie’s home. They had to climb several hills. They didn’t reach the village until midnight. When they got there, Dr Wang gave her mother an operation at once, but she wasn’t able to save the woman because she had lost too much blood. The baby was saved. Marie’s father was so poor that he had no money to raise his baby, so Dr Wang decided to bring up the child. When she returned home, her husband couldn’t understand why she brought back a black baby. From then on, the baby lived with the doctor’s family. When people asked Dr Wang why she did this, she said that if everyone gave true love to others, the world would be more beautiful. 41. Marie put all the food into an old box because she ________. A. wanted to sell it B. wasn’t hungry at all C. didn’t like it D. wanted to take it home to her mother 42. Dr Wang decided to bring up the baby because ________. A. he lost his right leg B. his family was too poor to raise him C. his mother died of hunger D. there were too many children in his family 43.

Dr Wang was kind-hearted. C. People in Africa are all poor. D. Marie’s mother was saved. C You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. WAY 2: Turn off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds. WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced (替换) one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing. WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year. 46. How many ways are mentioned (提及) in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 47. What will happen if our PC is turned off when it isn’t in use? A. It will help to save a large amount of money. B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO₂. C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile. D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees. 48. Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things? A. Ways 3 & 4. B. Ways 2 & 3. C. Ways 3 & 5. D. Ways 2 & 4. 49. How do these ways do good to our environment? A. They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity. B. They all cut down the number of the use of paper. C. They all produce less greenhouse gases as a result. D. They all help protect our trees and forests. 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ways to Save Money B. Ways to Be Earth-Friendly C. Ways to End Global-Warming D. Ways to Limit Carbon Dioxide D China’s Tiangong space station has welcomed new astronauts (宇航员)! The Shenzhou XVIII spaceship’s three astronauts went to the space station and met the Shenzhou XVII astronauts on April 26th. The Shenzhou XVIII members were all born in the 1980s, making them a young group of astronauts. “We never run out of things to talk about,” Shenzhou XVIII astronaut Li Cong told Xinhua. Shenzhou XVIII astronaut Li Guangsu is the first student of liberal arts (文科) in high school among China’s third batch (批) of astronauts. During their six-month stay in space, they will do more than 90 kinds of science experiments (实验). For example, they brought a fish tank full of water to the space station. Four zebrafish and algae (水藻) live inside it. The algae give the fish oxygen (氧气), keeping them alive. The fish tank is smart too—it can feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs on its own. Why zebrafish? It’s because they share 70 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. “Next, we plan on bringing mice to space,” Zhang Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) told CCTV News. Studying animals in space can help us understand how the human body reacts (反应) to space conditions. 51. What do we know about the Shenzhou XVIII astronauts? A.
