A. used work B. used to work C. used to working D. are used to work 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们过去常常一周工作六天，但现在只工作五天。 考查used构成的短语。used work结构错误；used to work过去常常工作；used to working结构错误，少了be动词；are used to work被用于工作。used to do sth表示“过去常常做某事”，过去时。be used to doing sth表示“习惯于做某事”；be used to do sth表示“被用来做某事”，被动语态。根据“but now we only work five days.”可知，目前每周只工作五天，空格处应表示“过去常常”工作六天。故选B。 2.

A. over B. against C. along D. across 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：请把架子靠在墙上，否则它会倒下来。 考查介词辨析。over在……上方；against紧靠；along沿着；across横跨。根据“or it will fall down.”可知，架子需紧贴墙面以防倒下。故选B。 3. —_______have you lived here?—Since last year.

A. ever; never B. already; yet C. yet; already D. still; just 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你做完家务了吗，林涛？——是的。我已经做完了。 考查副词。ever曾经，位于句中；never从不；already已经，位于肯定句句中或句末；yet然而，位于否定句中或句末；still仍然，位于句中；just正好，位于句中。第一空位于一般疑问句的句末，用副词yet；第二空位于肯定句的句末，用副词already。故选C。 5. —How soon will the sports meeting take place? —________. A. After two days B. Two days later C. Until next Monday D.

A. in this way B. in his way C. in some ways D. by the way 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Max喜欢捉弄别人，但在某些方面他是个好男孩，因为他愿意帮助别人。——我同意你的看法。 考查介词短语。in this way以这种方式；in his way 挡了他的路；in some ways在某些方面；by the way顺便一说。but表转折，根据“He likes playing tricks on others, but...he is a good boy. ”可知尽管喜欢捉弄别人，但是在一些方面，他还是很好的，in some ways符合语境。故选C。 9.

However, this doesn’t mean parents should see fairy tales (童话故事) as strict (严谨的) textbooks. It’s always better to tell a story in your own words instead of just reading it from a book. If a parent can make the story more interesting or suitable for the child’s age and situation, that’s even better. Some people think fairy tales are bad for children because they might make them feel afraid or unhappy. To prove (证明) this, someone would need to do a careful study showing that children who read fairy tales feel more troubled by unkind actions than those who don’t. As for fears, I think they happen when children hear the story only once. If children hear it many times, they get used to it, and the fear turns into a fun challenge they can deal with. There are also people who don’t like fairy tales because they think the stories aren’t real. They say giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets are not part of the real world. They believe children should learn about real life by studying history instead of enjoying the strange parts of fairy tales. I don’t know how to argue (争论) with them. If their ideas are correct, why will children not start believing in fairy tales, like thinking everyday items could magically turn into something they are not? No fairy tale has ever said it was a true picture of the real world, and no smart child has ever thought that it was. In fact, if they read more fairy tales, they will find the truth. 29. Why does the writer think telling a story is better than reading it from a book? Because ________. A. reading from a book can make the story clearer B. telling a story makes it more interesting and fit for children C. reading from a book takes too much time to finish D. children are always bored with reading books themselves 30. What happens to a child’s fear of fairy tales if they hear the story many times? A. The fear stays the same. B. The fear makes the child hate fairy tales. C. The fear becomes fun and easier to deal with. D. The fear makes the child only like real-life stories. 31. What does the writer think of people saying fairy tales aren’t real? A. Their ideas are right and we should think about them. B. Their ideas are wrong and we don’t need to argue with them. C. Their ideas are difficult to understand and they are crazy. D. Their ideas are wrong and they don’t have good reasons. 【答案】29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了童话故事在儿童成长中的作用，并反驳了一些对童话故事的负面看法。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。 根据“It’s always better to tell a story in your own words instead of just reading it from a book. If a parent can make the story more interesting or suitable for the child’s age and situation, that’s even better.”可知，作者认为讲故事比从书中读故事更好，因为讲故事可以使故事更有趣且更适合孩子。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。 根据“If children hear it many times, they get used to it, and the fear turns into a fun challenge they can deal with.”可知，如果孩子多次听到故事，他们的恐惧会变成一种有趣的挑战，并且更容易应对。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。 根据“No fairy tale has ever said it was a true picture of the real world, and no smart child has ever thought that it was. In fact, if they read more fairy tales, they will find the truth.”可知，作者认为那些说童话故事不真实的人的观点是错误的，并且他们没有充分的理由。故选D。 C Troubled by visitors who only come in to check out the design and decoration, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5-euro fee for coming in just to look. Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching places of interest in all of Barcelona. The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract (吸引) hundreds of visitors every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the things sold inside-all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines and so on. According to the store, many visitors enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, look around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge (收费) people for “just looking” just to stop them. Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as day by day the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced (不方便) by too many visitors looking around, taking pictures, with surely no interest in the things sold there, they decided it. Merino said he has no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to any more. By posting a photo about the 5-euro fee in the shop window, they have stopped most unwanted visitors. After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria become well-known on social media, the store faced a problem and had to explain the reasons and clarify (澄清) that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure (措施). 32. What can we learn about Queviures Murria? A. Visitors are not welcome there. B. It has a history of nearly 100 years. C. It charges people for taking photos. D. Many visitors better like its design. 33. Why did the grocery store put up the sign? A. To provide a better shopping environment. B. To make money. C. To attract more visitors. D. To get a fame (名声). 34. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. To make a joke to charge visitors. B. To sell all kinds of traditional Spanish food. C. To stop unwanted shoppers by charging them. D. To explain the reasons on social media. 35. Where is this passage probably taken from? A. A food column (专栏). B. A news website. C. A fashion magazine. D. A travel program. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了西班牙巴塞罗那的Queviures Murria杂货店因游客只参观不购物而采取收取5欧元入场费的措施，最终通过公告牌成功减少无关游客的故事。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of visitors every day”可知，商店的古老外观和传统内部设计每天吸引数百名游客，即许多游客更喜欢其设计风格。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee ... the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced ... they decided it.”可知，过多游客导致员工和真实顾客不便，因此决定收费。由此推知，此举是为了改善购物环境。故选A。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee ... the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced ... they decided it.”可知，向游客收取费用的想法起初只是一个笑话，后来员工和真正的购物者越来越不方便，所以他们决定这样做。由此可知，“it”指代“通过收费阻止无关游客”的措施。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。全文围绕商店采取的措施及其社会反响展开，符合新闻报道的特征，因此可能出现在“新闻网站上”。故选B。 第二部分 客观题(共 55 分) 五、词汇运用 (本大题共 10 小题, 每小题 1 分, 共 10 分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释,写出单词的正确形式。 36.

Is anybody playing the piano? 【答案】beautiful##wonderful##fantastic 【解析】 【详解】句意：这首音乐听起来很美妙。是有人在弹钢琴吗？sound在此处是感官系动词，意为“听起来”，后接形容词作表语。“美妙的”常见英文表达有beautiful/wonderful/fantastic，故填beautiful/wonderful/fantastic。 37. We can do it in the next ________ (几个) of weeks, so we have enough time. 【答案】couple 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们可以在接下来的几周内完成，所以我们有足够的时间。“几个”couple，couple of weeks“几周”。故填couple。 38.

The boy didn’t like his toy dog at all, as it was the ________ (ugly) of all. 【答案】ugliest 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个男孩一点也不喜欢他玩具狗，因为它是所有玩具狗中最丑的。ugly“丑的”，是形容词，根据“of all”可知，此处用形容词的最高级，故填ugliest。 42. It is snowing heavily outside. It’s ________ (possible) for him to get there on time. 【答案】impossible 【解析】 【详解】句意：外面雪下的很大。他不可能准时到达。根据“It is snowing heavily outside. It’s ... for him to get there on time.”可知，因为正在下大雪，所以准时到达是不可能的。此处应用possible的反义词impossible“不可能的”。故填impossible。 43. When he left school, he went into ________ (busy) with his brother. 【答案】business 【解析】 【详解】句意：离开学校后，他和哥哥一起经商。短语go into business意为“经商，从事商业活动”，符合语境。故填business。 44. The boy has little ________ (communicate) with others, so he has few friends. 【答案】communication 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个男孩很少和别人交流，所以他几乎没有朋友。所给词communicate是动词，意为“交流”，分析句子可知，设空处作宾语需用名词形式，little修饰不可数名词；have communication with sb.意为“与某人交流”，固定短语。故填communication。 45. The article says the cloned (克隆) sheep has four ________ (stomach). Is it true? 【答案】stomachs 【解析】 【详解】句意：文章说克隆羊有四个胃。它是真的吗？空处位于基数词“four”后，填可数名词复数。stomach“胃”，可数名词，复数为stomachs。故填stomachs。 六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空, 并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。(本大题共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,共 10 分) 46. The price of gold ________ (rise) a lot in the past ten months. 【答案】has risen 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去的十个月里，黄金价格大幅上涨。“in the past ten months”是现在完成时的标志性时间状语。现在完成时的结构是“have/has+过去分词”。主语“The price of gold”是单数概念，所以助动词用has ；rise的过去分词是risen，故填has risen。 47. —Alice, have you ever been to Hong Kong? —Sure. I ________ (work) there for one year, but now I’m back in Wuxi and work here. 【答案】worked 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爱丽丝，你去过香港吗？——当然去过。我在那儿工作过一年，但现在我已经回到无锡并在这儿工作了。根据“but now I’m back in Wuxi and work here”可知，Alice在香港工作的时间已明确结束，属于过去发生的动作，因此需用一般过去时。故填worked。 48. Many teenagers enjoy ________ (ride) shared bikes along the Binhu Road for fun. 【答案】riding 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多青少年喜欢沿着滨湖路骑共享单车取乐。根据“enjoy”可知，enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”，空处需填入动词的动名词形式，ride“骑”，其动名词形式为riding。故填riding。 49. Everyone except the twins ________ (chat) in the classroom at the moment. 【答案】is chatting 【解析】 【详解】句意：此刻，除了那对双胞胎，每个人都在教室里聊天。根据“at the moment”可知，此处用现在进行时“am/is/are doing”；主语Everyone由except连接，应用“就远”原则，所以be动词用is，故填is chatting。 50. I didn’t reply to your email because I ________ (write) an article the whole night. 【答案】was writing 【解析】 【详解】句意：我没有回复你的邮件，因为我整晚都在写一篇文章。根据“I didn’t reply to your email because I ... an article the whole night.”可知，此处是强调过去的某一段时间一直发生的动作，时态用过去进行时was/were doing，主语是I，be用was。故填was writing。 51. We must take action to prevent pollution ________ (live) a better life. 【答案】to live 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们必须采取行动防止污染，以过上更好的生活。根据“prevent pollution ... a better life”可知，空处表示目的，用不定式作目的状语。故填to live。 52. —Who ________ (speak) at tomorrow’s meeting? —I think our English teacher is. 【答案】is going to speak##will speak 【解析】 【详解】句意：——谁将在明天的会议上发言？——我认为是我们的英语老师。speak“发言”，动词，根据“tomorrow’s meeting”可知，问句应用一般将来时：be going to/will do，结合“who”可知，be动词用is。故填is going to speak/will speak。 53. Never ________ (give) up easily. It is the key to success. 【答案】give 【解析】 【详解】句意：永远不要轻易放弃。它是通往成功的关键。分析句子可知，句子是祈使句，以动词原形开头。故填give。 54. We can go camping in the park if it ________ (not rain) tomorrow. 【答案】doesn’t rain 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果明天不下雨，我们就去公园野营。if引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，从句用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，且为否定句，应用助动词doesn’t，其后接动词原形rain。故填doesn’t rain。 55. Listen! How terrible the wind ________ (sound)! Let’s go back home quickly. 【答案】sounds 【解析】 【详解】句意：听！这风声听起来多可怕啊！我们快回家吧。根据“Listen! How terrible the wind ...”可知，此处描述的是现在发生的具体状态，且sound没有进行时态，所以用一般现在时，主语是the wind，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填sounds。 七、完成句子(本大题共 5 小题,每小题 1 分,共 5 分) 56. 我们这个团队是由来自不同领域的优秀成员组成的。 Our team ________________ excellent members from different areas. 【答案】is made up of##consists of 【解析】 【详解】对照中英文可知，缺少“是由……组成的”，用be made up of或consist of。描述事实用一般现在时，主语为“Our team”，be动词用is，consist用三单形式的consists，作谓语动词。故填is made up of/consists of。 57. 他拒绝为我打印这张照片。我感到很难过。 He ________________ the photo for me. I felt very sad. 【答案】refused to print 【解析】 【详解】对照中英文可知缺少“拒绝打印”，“拒绝做某事”refuse to do sth，由“felt”可知是一般过去时，动词应用过去式refused；“打印”print。故填refused to print。 58. 吴先生已经离开家乡两年了。 Mr Wu ________________ his hometown for two years. 【答案】has been away from 【解析】 【详解】根据“for two years”可知本句应用现在完成时have done的结构。和一段时间连用，表示“离开”，应用延续性动词be away from来表示。主语“Mr Wu”是单数，助动词用has。故填has been away from。 59. 用微信保持联系是年轻人所喜欢的一种方式。 ________________ through WeChat is a way that young people like. 【答案】Keeping in touch 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，句中缺少“保持联系”，英文表达为“keep in touch”，固定短语；此处作主语，应使用动名词形式。故填Keeping in touch。 60. 由于恶劣的天气原因，直飞北京是不可能的了。 It’s not possible ________________ to Beijing because of the bad weather. 【答案】to take a direct flight 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少“直飞”。短语take a direct flight to+地点，意为“直飞某地”；It’s+adj.+to do sth.是固定句型，表示“做某事是……的”，这里it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，故填to take a direct flight。 八、阅读表达 (本大题共 10 小题, 每小题 2 分, 共 10 分。每小题答题词数不超过 8 个词。) Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms (节气) in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历), which falls on April 20 this year. As the last solar term in spring, this time sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture (农业). As it links grain with rain, it is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to plant. It might not be so well-known that in Chinese history an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented (发明) the first Chinese characters (汉字). Cang Jie made some Chinese characters from observing the tracks of birds and animals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky. The Grain Rain Day has become a day to remember Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity (文化身份). 61. How many solar terms are there in Spring according to the passage? _________________________________________ 62. Why is Grain Rain linked with modern agriculture? _________________________________________ 63. Who invented Chinese characters according to the passage? _________________________________________ 64. How long has April 20 been named as the annual UN Chinese Language Day? _________________________________________ 65. Do you think the Twenty-four Solar Terms are useful? Why or why not? _________________________________________ 【答案】61. Six. 62. Because as it links grain with rain, it is good for the growth of crops. 63. Cang jie. 64. Since 2010. 65. Yes. Because farmers can grow things well according to the wenty-four Solar Terms. (言之有理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了二十四节气中的谷雨。 【61题详解】 根据“Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms (节气) in the Chinese lunar calendar”可知，谷雨是春季最后一个节气且是二十四节气中的第六个，故填Six. 【62题详解】 根据“Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture (农业). As it links grain with rain, it is good for the growth of crops.”可知，谷雨因将谷物和雨水联系起来，有利于作物生长，所以和现代农业相关。故填Because as it links grain with rain, it is good for the growth of crops. 【63题详解】 根据“Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters”可知，仓颉发明了第一个汉字。故填Cang Jie. 【64题详解】 根据“The Grain Rain Day has become a day to remember Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010.”可知，自2010年起4月20日被定为联合国中文日。故填Since 2010. 【65题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如：我认为二十四节气有用，因为农民可以根据二十四节气种植作物。故填Yes. Because farmers can grow things well according to the wenty-four Solar Terms. 九、书面表达 (本大题共 20 分) 66. 校园如春日的花园，丰富多彩的活动如繁花点缀了学子们的青春，同学们在参与中汲取养分，于实践中茁壮成长。近期，学校将在“读书月”系列活动中开展“An Unforgettable School Activity”优秀征文征集。请任选以下一项活动或自拟一项活动，用英语撰写一篇文章，参与此次征文征集活动。 要求： 1. 语句通顺，意思连贯，语法正确，书写规范； 2. 必须包含所给提示内容，并适当发挥； 3. 90 词左右 (短文的标题和开头已给出，不计入总词数) 。 参考词汇：拔河 tug of war An Unforgettable School Activity There have been different kinds of school activities since I entered the middle school.

B A child who enjoys a story usually likes to hear it told again in almost the same way. However, this doesn’t mean parents should see fairy tales (童话故事) as strict (严谨的) textbooks. It’s always better to tell a story in your own words instead of just reading it from a book. If a parent can make the story more interesting or suitable for the child’s age and situation, that’s even better. Some people think fairy tales are bad for children because they might make them feel afraid or unhappy. To prove (证明) this, someone would need to do a careful study showing that children who read fairy tales feel more troubled by unkind actions than those who don’t. As for fears, I think they happen when children hear the story only once. If children hear it many times, they get used to it, and the fear turns into a fun challenge they can deal with. There are also people who don’t like fairy tales because they think the stories aren’t real. They say giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets are not part of the real world. They believe children should learn about real life by studying history instead of enjoying the strange parts of fairy tales. I don’t know how to argue (争论) with them. If their ideas are correct, why will children not start believing in fairy tales, like thinking everyday items could magically turn into something they are not? No fairy tale has ever said it was a true picture of the real world, and no smart child has ever thought that it was. In fact, if they read more fairy tales, they will find the truth. 29. Why does the writer think telling a story is better than reading it from a book? Because ________. A. reading from a book can make the story clearer B. telling a story makes it more interesting and fit for children C. reading from a book takes too much time to finish D. children are always bored with reading books themselves 30. What happens to a child’s fear of fairy tales if they hear the story many times? A. The fear stays the same. B. The fear makes the child hate fairy tales. C. The fear becomes fun and easier to deal with. D. The fear makes the child only like real-life stories. 31. What does the writer think of people saying fairy tales aren’t real? A. Their ideas are right and we should think about them. B. Their ideas are wrong and we don’t need to argue with them. C. Their ideas are difficult to understand and they are crazy. D. Their ideas are wrong and they don’t have good reasons. C Troubled by visitors who only come in to check out the design and decoration, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5-euro fee for coming in just to look. Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching places of interest in all of Barcelona. The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract (吸引) hundreds of visitors every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the things sold inside-all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines and so on. According to the store, many visitors enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, look around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge (收费) people for “just looking” just to stop them. Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as day by day the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced (不方便) by too many visitors looking around, taking pictures, with surely no interest in the things sold there, they decided it. Merino said he has no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to any more. By posting a photo about the 5-euro fee in the shop window, they have stopped most unwanted visitors. After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria become well-known on social media, the store faced a problem and had to explain the reasons and clarify (澄清) that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure (措施). 32. What can we learn about Queviures Murria? A. Visitors are not welcome there. B. It has a history of nearly 100 years. C. It charges people for taking photos. D. Many visitors better like its design. 33. Why did the grocery store put up the sign? A. To provide a better shopping environment. B. To make money. C. To attract more visitors. D. To get a fame (名声). 34. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. To make a joke to charge visitors. B. To sell all kinds of traditional Spanish food. C. To stop unwanted shoppers by charging them. D. To explain the reasons on social media. 35. Where is this passage probably taken from? A. A food column (专栏). B. A news website. C. A fashion magazine. D. A travel program. 第二部分 客观题(共 55 分) 五、词汇运用 (本大题共 10 小题, 每小题 1 分, 共 10 分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释,写出单词的正确形式。 36. The piece of music sounds ________ (美妙的). Is anybody playing the piano? 37.

As the last solar term in spring, this time sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture (农业). As it links grain with rain, it is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to plant. It might not be so well-known that in Chinese history an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented (发明) the first Chinese characters (汉字). Cang Jie made some Chinese characters from observing the tracks of birds and animals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky. The Grain Rain Day has become a day to remember Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity (文化身份). 61.
