You don’t look well. —I am under too much ________ that I can’t sleep well at night. A. mess B. pressure C. waste D. silence 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——麦克，你怎么了？你看起来不舒服。——我压力太大了，以至于晚上睡不好。 考查名词词义辨析。mess脏乱；pressure压力；waste浪费；silence寂静。由“You don’t look well.”和“I can’t sleep well at night”可推测此处压力太大而睡不着，故选B。 2. —Why are you so late? —Sorry! While I ________ home，I met one of my old friends. A. will walk B. was walking C. am walking D. walked 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你为什么如此的晚？——对不起，当我正在走回家的时候，我遇到了我的一个老朋友。A. will walk 将走；B. was walking正在走，过去进行时；C. am walking正在走，现在进行时；D. walked走，一般过去时态。这里是while引导的进行时，根据下文I met one of my old friends.可知用过去进行时，其结构是was/were doing的形式。主语是I,这里用was。根据题意，故选B。 【点睛】1.过去进行时+when+一般过去时 一般过去时+while+过去进行时 2.when后（从句）短暂,while后（从句）延续 3,过去进行时+while+过去进行时,翻译一边.一边. 3.

We shouldn’t use plastic（塑料的）bags when shopping. ________, we can use cloth bags. A. Certainly B. Though C. Completely D. Instead 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：购物时，我们不应该使用塑料袋。相反，我们可以使用布袋。 考查副词辨析。Certainly当然；Though不过，但是；Completely彻底地；Instead反而。根据“shouldn’t use plastic（塑料的）bags”和“we can use cloth bags”可知，我们不应该使用塑料料袋，反而应该使用布袋，因此应用副词instead来表示“反而”。故选D。 5. —What do you think of the TV program? —It’s too long. Some meaningless parts should be _________. A. cut down B. cut off C. cut up D. cut out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得这个电视节目怎么样? ——太长了。一些没有意义的部分应该被删去。 考查短语辨析。cut down减少；cut off切断；cut up切碎；cut out删去。根据“ It’s too long. Some meaningless parts”可知，一些没有意义的部分应该被删去。 故选D。 6. —Shall we go on a picnic tomorrow? —It ________ the weather. If it rains, we won’t do it. A. goes on B. deals with C. depends on D. gives up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们明天去野餐好吗？——这要看天气。如果下雨，我们就不去（野餐）。 考查动词短语。goes on继续；deals with处理；depends on取决于；gives up放弃。根据“It...the weather. If it rains, we won’t do it.”可知明天去不去野餐要取决于天气如何。故选C。 7. Everyone was surprised because a cat ________ in our classroom. A. became B. appeared C. reached D. touched 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：每个人都很吃惊，因为一只猫出现在我们教室里。 考查动词辨析。became变成；appeared出现；reached到达；touched接触。根据“Everyone was surprised because a cat...”可知，一只猫出现在教室里，这会让每个人吃惊。故选B。 8. —It is too hot in the classroom. Would you mind ________ the fan? — ________. It is easy to catch a cold after doing some exercise. A. to turn up; Of course not B. to turn up; Good idea C. turning up; You’d better not D. turning up; Never mind 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——教室里太热了，你介意把风扇打开吗？——你最好不要。运动后很容易感冒。 考查非谓语动词和情景交际。mind doing sth.“你介意做某事吗”，排除AB选项；Of course not“当然不”；Good idea“好主意”；You’d better not“你最好不要”；Never mind“没关系”。根据“It is easy to catch a cold after doing some exercise.”可知，是介意开窗，应用You’d better not。故选C。 三、完形填空（共26小题，每小题1分，满分26分） A)阅读下面的短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 阅读下面的短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 Zhou Chu was born about 1, 700 year ago.

Just in front of him, he saw a little girl, less than 10 years old, carrying a boy on her back. She was also moving on slowly. She was out of breath and kept sweating (出汗), but her hands still firmly (牢牢地) held the boy on her back. When passing by the little girl, the man said to her, “My girl, you must be very tired because what you carry is so heavy! Why don’t you stop and have a rest?” Hearing this, the little girl said, “What I carry is not a weight (重物). He is my little brother and he is badly ill. I must take him to the hospital as soon as possible.” It is true that both a brother and a burden (负担) have a weight.

The “666” emoji recently came out on WeChat. It shows a smirking (得意的) face that holds up the Chinese hand sign for “6” with the number “666” shown next to it. Most Chinese people know that this emoji has a lucky meaning. After all, the Chinese character for “six” is pronounced (发音) the same way as “liu”, which means “smooth” as in “things are going smoothly”. There’s also the saying “liu liu da shun”. It is used to give good wishes to one’s friends or relatives. ▲It is said to be the “Mark of the Beast”, a symbol that the devil (恶魔) forces people to wear in order to show their loyalty to him. That’s why some people think of this number as a symbol of darkness and rebellion (反叛). It is especially popular among rock bands and their fans. As a rock music fan who is also interested in Chinese culture, I like the new emoji for many reasons. I can send it to either my Chinese or Western friends and get different reactions (反应). This makes it fun to use. But don’t be surprised if you get a strange reaction from a Westerner when you send it to them. 43. Which of the following is the “666” emoji? A. A smiling face with a hand covering the mouth. B. A smirking face holds up the Chinese hand sign for six. C. A surprising face holds up two hands. D. A smirking face holds up the hand sign for OK. 44. Chinese people may use the “666” emoji, when ________. A. they want to say you are doing a good job B. they want to say everything goes wrong C. they want to say you are doing something wrong D. they don’t agree with you 45. The underlined word “smooth” most probably means _____ in Chinese. A. 光滑的 B. 平整的 C. 顺利的 D. 流利的 46. “▲” can be the missing sentence in Paragraph 4. A. And in some Western countries, “666” has the same meaning. B. But in some Western countries, “666” has a very different meaning. C. And in some Western countries, people often use “666” for different reasons. D. But in some Western countries, people hardly use “666”. 47. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ 【答案】43. B 44. A 45. C 46. B 47. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一个新的表情符号——“666”在中国和西方微信用户中的不同受欢迎程度和原因。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It shows a smirking (得意的) face that holds up the Chinese hand sign for ‘6’ with the number ‘666’ shown next to it.”可知，一张傻笑的脸举起了中国人的手势6是“666”的表情符号。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Most Chinese people know that this emoji has a lucky meaning. After all, the Chinese character for ‘six’ is pronounced (发音) the same way as ‘liu’, which means ‘smooth’ as in ‘things are going smoothly’.”可知，当人们想说你做得很好的时候会使用“666”的表情符号。故选A。 【45题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“After all, the Chinese character for ‘six’ is pronounced (发音) the same way as ‘liu’”可知，此处是说汉字“六”的发音与“流”相同，意味着“smooth”，就像“事情进展顺利”一样，所以smooth是“顺利的”意思。故选C。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That’s why some people think of this number as a symbol of darkness and rebellion (反叛).”可知，与中国表达的意思不同，所以B项“但是在一些西方国家，‘666’有着非常不同的含义”符合语境。故选B。 【47题详解】 篇章结构题。根据第一段“A new emoji (表情包) is getting popular among both Chinese and Western WeChat users—but for different reasons.”，第二段“The ‘666’ emoji recently came out on WeChat.”，第三段“Most Chinese people know that this emoji has a lucky meaning.”，第四段“That’s why some people think of this number as a symbol of darkness and rebellion (反叛).”和第五段“As a rock music fan who is also interested in Chinese culture, I like the new emoji for many reasons.”可知，第一、二段介绍了一个新的表情符号；第三、四段则分别说明了其在中西方文化中各自的象征；最后一段中作者表明了自己对此的看法。所以结构为：①②/③④/⑤。故选C。 D There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the best way is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. According to the WHO, over half people in the world may be sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure. Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly (自豪地) that they don’t have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do. How do we teach these people to learn the importance of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card (信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back.” For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea.” 48. Which is NOT mentioned when talking about the ways to improve health? A. Lowering stress. B. Getting medical help. C. Eating healthy food. D. Taking exercise. 49. In writer’s opinion, less sleep may cause ________ more likely. ①tiredness ②traffic accidents ③foolishness ④medical problems. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 50. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. Over half of people in the world may be sleep-deprived. B. The older you are, the longer sleep you need. C. In United States, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. D. When you sleep less, you are borrowing time. 51. What does underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Credit card. B. Money. C. Work. D. Time. 52. What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A. The facts of sleep B. The importance of the sleep C. The ways to sleep well D. The ways to improve health 【答案】48. A 49. C 50. B 51. D 52.

She was out of breath and kept sweating (出汗), but her hands still firmly (牢牢地) held the boy on her back. When passing by the little girl, the man said to her, “My girl, you must be very tired because what you carry is so heavy! Why don’t you stop and have a rest?” Hearing this, the little girl said, “What I carry is not a weight (重物). He is my little brother and he is badly ill. I must take him to the hospital as soon as possible.” It is true that both a brother and a burden (负担) have a weight.

We must love our brother C A new emoji (表情包) is getting popular among both Chinese and Western WeChat users—but for different reasons. The “666” emoji recently came out on WeChat. It shows a smirking (得意的) face that holds up the Chinese hand sign for “6” with the number “666” shown next to it. Most Chinese people know that this emoji has a lucky meaning. After all, the Chinese character for “six” is pronounced (发音) the same way as “liu”, which means “smooth” as in “things are going smoothly”. There’s also the saying “liu liu da shun”. It is used to give good wishes to one’s friends or relatives. ▲It is said to be the “Mark of the Beast”, a symbol that the devil (恶魔) forces people to wear in order to show their loyalty to him. That’s why some people think of this number as a symbol of darkness and rebellion (反叛). It is especially popular among rock bands and their fans. As a rock music fan who is also interested in Chinese culture, I like the new emoji for many reasons. I can send it to either my Chinese or Western friends and get different reactions (反应). This makes it fun to use. But don’t be surprised if you get a strange reaction from a Westerner when you send it to them. 43. Which of the following is the “666” emoji? A. A smiling face with a hand covering the mouth. B A smirking face holds up the Chinese hand sign for six. C. A surprising face holds up two hands. D. A smirking face holds up the hand sign for OK. 44. Chinese people may use the “666” emoji, when ________. A. they want to say you are doing a good job B. they want to say everything goes wrong C. they want to say you are doing something wrong D. they don’t agree with you 45. The underlined word “smooth” most probably means _____ in Chinese. A. 光滑的 B. 平整的 C. 顺利的 D. 流利的 46. “▲” can be the missing sentence in Paragraph 4. A. And in some Western countries, “666” has the same meaning. B. But in some Western countries, “666” has a very different meaning. C. And in some Western countries, people often use “666” for different reasons. D. But in some Western countries, people hardly use “666”. 47. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ D There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the best way is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. According to the WHO, over half people in the world may be sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure. Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly (自豪地) that they don’t have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do. How do we teach these people to learn the importance of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card (信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back.” For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea.” 48. Which is NOT mentioned when talking about the ways to improve health? A. Lowering stress. B. Getting medical help. C. Eating healthy food. D. Taking exercise. 49. In writer’s opinion, less sleep may cause ________ more likely. ①tiredness ②traffic accidents ③foolishness ④medical problems. A ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 50. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. Over half of people in the world may be sleep-deprived. B. The older you are, the longer sleep you need. C. In United States, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. D. When you sleep less, you are borrowing time. 51. What does underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Credit card. B. Money. C. Work. D. Time. 52. What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A. The facts of sleep B. The importance of the sleep C. The ways to sleep well D. The ways to improve health B) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted?
