A /; the B. the; the C. the ;a D. /; a
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:有些练习似乎是你已经做过的。但是再看看之后,你会发现它们是不同的。
考查冠词。根据“that you have done”可知第一空表特指,用定冠词the;序数词前用不定冠词a,表示“又,再”,take a second look意为“再看看”。故选C。
2. —Whose pencil case is this?

A. might B. must C. can’t D. shouldn’t
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这是谁的铅笔盒?——它可能是露西的,但我不确定。她有一个这种颜色的。
考查情态动词。might可能;must一定;can’t不可能;shouldn’t不应该。根据“I’m not sure.”可知,回答者表示“不确定”,但提到露西有同颜色的铅笔盒,表达“可能”。故选A。
3. Which of the following “ed” has a different pronunciation(发音) from the other three?
A. talked B. lived C. stopped D. danced
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:以下哪一个“ed”的发音与其他三个不同?
考查单词的读音。talked/tɔːkt/;lived/lɪvd/;stopped/stɒpt/ ;danced/dɑːnst/。由单词的读音可知,B选项的单词中“ed”的发音与其他两个不同,故选B。

A. alone; alone B. alone; lonely C. lonely; alone D. lonely; lonely
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:布朗先生独自生活,但他并不感到孤独,因为他退休后过着丰富多彩的生活。
考查形容词和副词。alone独自,副词;lonely孤独的,形容词。由“live”可知,表示“独自生活”,用副词alone修饰动词live;由“feel”可知,表示感到孤独,要用形容词lonely作表语。故选B。
5. ________ of the students in our class are familiar (熟悉的) with Zhenjiang.
A. Two-fifth B. Two-fifths C. Five-seconds D. Second-fifth
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们班五分之二的学生熟悉镇江。
考查序数词。根据“...of the students in our class are familiar with Zhenjiang”可知,分子用基数词,分母用序数词;当分子大于一时,分母用复数形式。因此,五分之二的正确表达应为“two-fifths”。故选B。
6. Watching from the window, I find the woman exercising on the balcony in the house ________ the street.
A. across B. around C. along D. above
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:从窗户望去,我发现那个女人正在街对面房子的阳台上锻炼。
考查介词辨析。across在对面;around围绕;along沿着;above在……上面。根据“Watching from the window, I find the woman exercising on the balcony in the house”可知,从窗户望去,可以看到街对面的房子。故选A。
7. If we show great interest in something, our brains (大脑) will be more active and it will also be easier to ________.
A. support B. choose C. understand D. focus
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果我们对某事表现出极大的兴趣,我们的大脑会更活跃,也会更容易理解。

8. Amy found ________ to learn horse riding, especially to get along with the horse.
A. it’s enjoyable B. it interested C. it’s interesting D. it enjoyable
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:艾米觉得学骑马很有趣,尤其是和马相处。
考查it和形容词。enjoyable有乐趣的;interested感兴趣的;interesting有趣的。found是一般过去时,若后加宾语从句,则从句是一般过去时,则A与C选项时态错误;若found后用it作形式宾语,to learn horse riding是真正宾语,则用形容词作宾语补足语,描述事情则用enjoyable,而interested描述人的感受。find it enjoyable to do sth意思是“发现做某事是有乐趣的”。故选D。
9. Tina came to China to enjoy Chinese culture (文化) and ________ which school was the best for her to go to.
A. put out B. stay out C. find out D. run out
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:Tina来到中国是为了体验中国文化,并弄清楚她最适合上哪所大学。
考查动词短语辨析。put out熄灭;stay out待在外面;find out弄清楚,找到;run out用完。根据“...which school was the best for her to go to”可知,此处指弄清楚哪所大学最适合她,其他选项语意不通。故选C。
10. —What do you think of online clothes shops?
—They’re great. People can buy good-quality clothes with ________ prices.
A. low B. cheap C. short D. little
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得网上服装店怎么样?——它们很棒。人们可以用低价格买到质量好的衣服。
考查形容词辨析。low低的;cheap便宜的;short短的;little少的。形容“价格”时,常用low表示“价格低”,而cheap通常用来形容物品本身“便宜”,不能直接修饰prices。short和little与prices搭配不符合语境。因此,此处应选low。故选A。
11. The fairy tried hard to ________ from the dark forest and finally she made it.
A. get away B. get up C. get off D. get in
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:仙女努力逃离黑暗的森林,终于成功了。
考查动词短语。get away逃离;get up起床;get off下车;get in进入。根据“The fairy tried hard to…from the dark forest”的语境并结合选项可知,此处指逃离黑暗的森林,get away from“逃离”符合。故选A。

A. Because she passed the test B. Because of her failing the test
C. Because of her good points in the test D. Because her failed the test
【答案】B

考查情景交际。Because she passed the test因为她通过了考试;Because of her failing the test因为她考试不及格;Because of her good points in the test因为她在考试中的好成绩;Because her failed the test语法错误,because后接完整的句子,而“her failed the test”不是句子。根据“Why is the little girl so sad?”可知,小女孩伤心是因为考试不及格。故选B。
13. The noise from the street made it difficult for me to fall ________ last night.
A. sleep B. asleep C. sleepy D. sleeping
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨晚街上的喧闹声使我难以入睡。

14. Actually, City walk, a new type of travelling ________ in Shanghai a long time ago.
A. starts B. started C. has started D. was starting
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:事实上,城市步行,一种新的旅行方式在上海很久以前就开始了。
考查动词时态。根据“a long time ago”可知,事情发生在过去,时态为一般过去时。故选B。

①Flying in a beautiful hot-air balloon is cool. But have you thought about what makes it work? It’s helium (氦气)—a very important, but often forgotten gas.
②According to the BBC, the world is running low on helium. In the last 20 years, there have been four shortages.
③Helium is not toxic and is lighter than air. We can’t see, smell or taste it. Most people know it for filling balloons, but it has other important uses, too. Hospitals use helium in magnetic resonance imaging machines to see inside our bodies. Helium also helps cool satellites and clean rockets.
④But the gas is hard to get and keep. It only comes from nuclear reactions in stars and some special rocks deep in Earth. We can’t make helium. It is very light and can fly away into space. Even if we keep it on Earth, it can go through small holes and even climb up walls. This means we can lose it easily after use.
⑤Fun facts about helium
-Helium is the second richest element in the universe.
-Helium is a “noble gas”. This means that it doesn’t easily react with other things.
-To make helium freeze, people have to put it under great pressure.
-The word helium comes from the Greek word “helios”. It means the sun.
42. What is the problem with helium?
A. It is bad for our health. B. It is running out.
C. It is no longer safe. D. It is becoming heavier.
43. What question can Paragraph 3 answer?
A. What we use helium for. B. Why we have less helium.
C. Where we get helium. D. How we keep helium.
44. Why did the writer write about rockets?
A. To show what makes helium special. B. To show how important helium is.
C. To show how hard it is to get helium. D. To introduce how to cool helium down.
45. What does the last paragraph say about helium?
A. It is hard to keep. B. It is hard to breathe in.
C. It is heavier than air. D. It is everywhere in space.
【答案】42. B 43. A 44. B 45. A
【解析】

根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。 (每空一词)
46. Animals are _______________(human)good friends.It’s our duty to protect them.
【答案】humans’
【解析】
【详解】句意:动物是人类的好朋友,保护它们是我们的责任。名词good friends“好朋友”前要使用名词所有格形式,指人类的好朋友,human的所有格形式要加's;human“人类”,是可数名词,此处要用复数形式表示泛指。故填humans’。
47. English is very ________ (use). We should learn it well.
【答案】useful
【解析】
【详解】句意:英语很有用。我们应该好好学习。空处的词在系动词is之后,故应用形容词;use“用途”,名词,对应的形容词是useful“有用的”。故填useful。
48. Scott missed the train, but ________ (luck), there was another one later that day.
【答案】luckily
【解析】
【详解】句意:斯科特没赶上火车,但幸运的是,那天晚些时候还有一趟。空处修饰后面一句话,应用副词luckily“幸运地”。故填luckily。

【详解】句意:看!吉姆在雪地里滑冰玩得很开心。他认为这是很好的锻炼。固定短语have fun doing sth“做某事很愉快”。故填skating。
50. People are still looking for their ________ (lose) relatives in the disappeared flight, aren’t they?
【答案】lost
【解析】
【详解】句意:人们仍在寻找失踪航班中他们失踪的亲属,不是吗?“relatives”是名词,需要用形容词修饰。lose的形容词形式“lost”(失踪的;丢失的)符合语境,用来描述亲属因航班失踪而处于“失踪”的状态,故填lost。
51. To ________ (存活) in the wild, you need to find food, water and shelter (庇护所).
【答案】survive
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了在野外存活,你需要找到食物、水和庇护所。To在此处是不定式符号,不定式结构“To+动词原形”常用来表示目的,“存活”对应的英文动词是survive,符合“在野外要做的行为(存活)及所需条件(找食物等)”的语境,故填survive。
52. It is widely accepted that there are eight ________ (行星) in the solar system (太阳系).
【答案】planets
【解析】
【详解】句意:人们普遍认为太阳系中有八颗行星。行星:planet,可数名词;基数词“eight”后接可数名词复数形式,故名词应用复数planets。故填planets。
53. I’ve _______(刚才)heard the good news about our school.
【答案】just
【解析】
【详解】句意:我刚听到关于我们学校的好消息。just“刚才”,在句中修饰动词,故填just。
54. I don’t think this pair of trousers ________ (适合) me well. Can I try on another pair?
【答案】fits
【解析】
【详解】句意:我觉得这条裤子不太适合我。我能试穿另一条吗?根据“I don’t think this pair of trousers... me well”以及汉语提示可知,此处需填入动词fit。由于“this pair of trousers”的中心词是pair,为单数第三人称,且句子为一般现在时,故动词应使用第三人称单数形式fits。故填fits。
55. All the villagers’ living ________ (条件) have changed greatly in recent years.
【答案】conditions
【解析】
【详解】句意:近年来,所有村民的生活条件都发生了很大变化。condition“条件”,可数名词,根据“have changed”可知,主语为复数形式。故填conditions。

In May, seven cute puppies started special dog school in Australia. They will live there for 24 months to get some training. After that, they’ll become assistance dogs and help people in need.
An assistance dog can do many things, like turning on lights or emptying washing machines. They can also bark if their human friend falls out of their wheelchair.
They are good “doctors” for people with autism (自闭症), too. Many autistic children have trouble seeing dangers. They may run off at any time, even on busy roads. At these times, an assistance dog will quickly lie down, using its weight to control the child and keep him or her safe.
When an autistic child feels sad, the dog will put its chin on the child’s hand, as if to say, “Come and pat me.” This way, the child can feel much better.
Back in China, assistance dogs are also helping to treat things like depression. “People with mental health problems have trouble talking to others. When they spend time with dogs, they feel better.

A Boat Trip on the Yangzhou Grand Canal
Last Sunday, my family took a boat trip along the Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal. It was great fun.
As the boat moved slowly, we saw green willow trees dancing along the banks. We could hear birds singing in the trees, and the soft sound of water made us feel peaceful.
The Grand Canal has a history of over 2, 500 years. It was built in the Sui Dynasty and played an important role in trading goods and sharing culture.
However, the Grand canal once faced great challenges. Pollution used to be a big problem. Now, the local government realizes the situation and tries its best to protect the treasure. On the one hand, factories along the canal have been moved to other places. On the other hand, laws are made to help protect it.
Everyone should respect nature and protect our heritage because the Grand Canal is not just a river, it’s a living history book. We must all help to keep it beautiful for the future!

“I’m getting taller and taller,” Alice said. She looked down at her feet. They seemed very far away.
“Goodbye, feet! OUCH!” Alice’s head hit the ceiling of the room. She was now more than nine feet tall.
She picked up the key and went back to the door. But she was too big now. She sat down and started to cry again. She cried and cried and cried. Her tears fell on the ground and soon there was a pool of water around her.
PITTER, PATTER, PITTER, PITTER. She looked up. The White Rabbit was running towards her. He had a fan in one hand and a pair of white gloves in the other. As he ran, he muttered, “Oh, the Duchess! The Duchess. She’s going to be very angry.” Alice whispered, “Sir, please,” but her voice frightened the Rabbit. He dropped the fan and the gloves and ran away quickly down a dark passage. Alice put the key on the table, picked up the gloves and the fan and started to fan herself.
“How strange everything is today,” she said sadly. “Yesterday things were normal (正常的). Did I change during the night? Am I a different girl today? If I am a different girl, who am I? Am I Mabel?” (Mabel was a girl at Alice’s school. )
“No, I can’t be! I know a lot of things and she knows, well, only a few.”
“I wonder if I can remember the multiplication tables (乘法口诀). Let’s see, four times five is twelve, and four times seven is... Oh dear! What about Geography? London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, that’s wrong. Perhaps I am Mabel!”
— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland

①Flying in a beautiful hot-air balloon is cool. But have you thought about what makes it work? It’s helium (氦气)—a very important, but often forgotten gas.
②According to the BBC, the world is running low on helium. In the last 20 years, there have been four shortages.
③Helium is not toxic and is lighter than air. We can’t see, smell or taste it. Most people know it for filling balloons, but it has other important uses, too. Hospitals use helium in magnetic resonance imaging machines to see inside our bodies. Helium also helps cool satellites and clean rockets.
④But the gas is hard to get and keep. It only comes from nuclear reactions in stars and some special rocks deep in Earth. We can’t make helium. It is very light and can fly away into space. Even if we keep it on Earth, it can go through small holes and even climb up walls. This means we can lose it easily after use.
⑤Fun facts about helium
-Helium is the second richest element in the universe.
-Helium is a “noble gas”. This means that it doesn’t easily react with other things.
-To make helium freeze, people have to put it under great pressure.
-The word helium comes from the Greek word “helios”. It means the sun.
42. What is the problem with helium?
A. It is bad for our health. B. It is running out.
C. It is no longer safe. D. It is becoming heavier.
43. What question can Paragraph 3 answer?
A. What we use helium for. B. Why we have less helium.
C. Where we get helium. D. How we keep helium.
44. Why did the writer write about rockets?
A. To show what makes helium special. B. To show how important helium is.
C. To show how hard it is to get helium. D. To introduce how to cool helium down.
45. What does the last paragraph say about helium?
A. It is hard to keep. B. It is hard to breathe in.
C. It is heavier than air. D. It is everywhere in space.

In May, seven cute puppies started special dog school in Australia. They will live there for 24 months to get some training. After that, they’ll become assistance dogs and help people in need.
An assistance dog can do many things, like turning on lights or emptying washing machines. They can also bark if their human friend falls out of their wheelchair.
They are good “doctors” for people with autism (自闭症), too. Many autistic children have trouble seeing dangers. They may run off at any time, even on busy roads. At these times, an assistance dog will quickly lie down, using its weight to control the child and keep him or her safe.
When an autistic child feels sad, the dog will put its chin on the child’s hand, as if to say, “Come and pat me.” This way, the child can feel much better.
Back in China, assistance dogs are also helping to treat things like depression. “People with mental health problems have trouble talking to others. When they spend time with dogs, they feel better. This makes their treatments easier and better,” Zhang Jun, a doctor at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, told People’s Daily.
