A. was B. comes C. will be D. came 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：请稍等一下好吗？他5分钟后回来。 考查一般将来时。根据“Would you please wait a moment?”可知“他”当前不在，再由“in 5 minutes”可知是5分钟后回来，用一般将来时，其结构为will do；be back回来。故选C。 24.

A. exciting; exciting B. excited; excited C. exciting; excited D. excited; exciting 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天我们的班主任做了一个如此激动人心的演讲，我们都感到兴奋。 考查形容词辨析。exciting令人兴奋的/激动人心的，修饰物；excited兴奋的，修饰人。根据“an ... speech”可知第一空表示激动人心的演讲，用exciting；再由“we”可知第二空表示我们感到兴奋，用excited。故选C。 25.

(P•布莱克夫人丢了一个牛肉袋。) 该句话中每个字母代表了一个动词或短语，这些动词要求后面跟动名词作宾语。这些动词分别是：M=mind, r=risk, s=succeed in, P=practice，B=be busy, l=look forward to, a=admit, c=can’t help, k=keep on, m=miss, i=insist on, s=suggest, s=stop, e=enjoy, d=delay, a=avoid, b=be worth, a=advise, g=give up。 26. —How was your work going in the hospital? —Wonderful.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍受过训练的狗Sparky 如何在日常生活中帮助 Ms. Toni。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “Another part of my job is to take a walk with Ms. Toni every afternoon”每天下午陪 Ms. Toni 散步；第二段“whenever she drops something, I pick it up for her”每当她掉落东西，Sparky 就捡起来；第四段“At these times she likes me to hang out and relax with her”当 Ms. Toni 睡不着时，Sparky 陪她放松；可知，未提到Sparky做家务劳动。故选D。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “Another part of my job is to take a walk with Ms. Toni every afternoon”每天下午陪 Ms. Toni 散步；第二段“whenever she drops something, I pick it up for her”每当她掉落东西，Sparky 就捡起来；第四段“At these times she likes me to hang out and relax with her”当 Ms. Toni 睡不着时，Sparky 陪她放松；可知，Sparky 非常乐于助人。故选A。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My trainer calls what I do ‘work’”训练员通常用于训练动物；和最后一段 “petting me keeps her cool”抚摸我能让她冷静；可知，Sparky是陪护犬。故选B。 C One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I will find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly. Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study showed that a high percentage (百分率) of children with bad behavior come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses may be unhealthy and fall sick more often. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure that our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank. I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom! 62. The writer hates to do chores but she has to do them because ________. A. her mother makes her do them B. she wants to help her mother C. she can’t relax or work if her room is untidy D. she thinks doing chores is good exercise 63. What does the underlined part “a tidy home means a tidy mind” mean? A. If everything is a mess, you can’t think clearly. B. The tidier your home is, the cleverer you are. C. A person with a tidy home usually has a healthy lifestyle. D. A smart person’s home is always clean and comfortable. 64. Which of the following is NOT true about the writer? A. She is a naturally tidy person. B. She wants to be like her mother. C. She is lazy sometimes but she is trying to be tidy. D. She thinks tidying up every day is a good habit. 【答案】62. C 63. A 64. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者认为一个干净整洁的环境会使人在工作、学习和生活中感觉更加舒适，更容易获得成功。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If my bedroom is untidy, I will find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work!”可知，如果自己的卧室是不整洁的，自己就会发现很难放松，也无法做任何工作。故选C。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。结合语境和“If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly.”可知，如果一切都一团糟，你就无法清晰地思考。故选A。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I am not a naturally tidy person.”可知，作者不是个天生就爱整洁的人。A选项“她是个天生爱整洁的人”说法错误。故选A。 D If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault or not. It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day — and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day. As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other Cultures. Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, if they corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them. But why do they say sorry so often? In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “what” or “whatever”. People in Britain also use “sorry” when they share the same feeling with others — so they might say “sorry about the rain”. However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day. Can you understand this “sorry custom” of the British now? 65. In the old days, people said sorry when they ________. A. did something wrong B. asked the way C. wanted to repeat something D. made a choice 66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Americans say sorry more than British people. B. Even British people get confused when they say sorry. C. Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day. D. The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others. 67. What does the underlined word “apologize” mean? A. Say “hello”. B. Say “sorry”. C. Say “bye”. D. Say “thanks”. 68. What is the structure of this passage? A. ①② — ③④ — ⑤⑥ B. ① — ② — ③④⑤⑥ C. ①② — ③④ — ⑤⑥ D. ①② — ③④⑤ — ⑥ 【答案】65. A 66. D 67. B 68. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了现在英国文化中的“sorry”文化的表现和原因。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the old days, ‘sorry’ was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong.”可知在过去，“sorry”在因为做错事而表达遗憾和难过时使用，故选A。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“People in Britain also use ‘sorry’ when they share the same feeling with others”可知英国人在与别人分享同样的情感时也使用“sorry”，故选D。 【67题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other Cultures”和“Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans.”可猜测其与“saying sorry”的意思对应，故选B。 【68题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段和第二段引出文章主题——英国人使用“sorry”非常多；第三段到第五段分析英国人使用“sorry”多的原因；第六段提出问题引人思考。故选D。 E Ma Li, a dessert (甜点) shop owner, has seen how acts of kindness can make a big difference. One day, she received an order and posted it on an online delivery platform (快递平台) to accept the order. After the deliveryman arrived at the shop, he said it was cold outside because of the snow and his phone didn’t work well. So she invited him to sit down and offered him a cup of hot water. Ma also found the deliveryman’s hands were red because of the cold weather, which _____▲_____. When the deliveryman was ready to leave, he said he wanted to buy his daughter a cake, but it was a little expensive. Right then, Ma decided to offer more help— a cake for free— and Ma asked him to return for the cake before he went back home after work. After the deliveryman left, Ma posted what she just experienced on her WeChat’s Moments with two photos. After that post, heartwarming comments (评论) followed, such as, “Life is not easy but none of us gives up!” “Show more understanding for deliverymen.” Quite a few customers (顾客) called Ma and offered to pay for the deliveryman’s cake and buy more desserts for his family. However, the deliveryman didn’t come back that day. But the day after, Ma found him and told him about her customers’ kindness. She invited him to get the cake for his daughter. The deliveryman was very thankful. Ma posted other photos of the deliveryman taking the cake and wrote, “We have delivered your kindness and the winter has become warmer because of all of you.” “At first, I just want to do something for him by myself. To my surprise, acts of kindness followed,” Ma said. Ma’s dessert shop received more than 600 yuan from her customers. She said they would use the money to offer help for deliverymen and other people in need. 69 Which of the following can be best put in the blank in Paragraph 2? A. told her to work hard B. brought her a good chance C. helped her find out the reason D. made her feel sorry for him 70. From the passage above, we know that ________. A. the deliveryman was thankful to the people who helped him B. Ma asked her customers to offer the deliveryman some help C. The deliveryman bought his daughter a cake on that cold night D. Ma asked her customers for 600 yuan to help the deliveryman 71. The best title for the passage above might be “________”. A. A dessert shop owner B. Acts of kindness C. A cold but lucky winter night D. Photos on WeChat’s Moments 72. The passage above is probably a ________. A. diary B. novel C. report D. letter 【答案】69. D 70. A 71. B 72. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要内容是：甜点店店主玛丽为一个外卖员提供免费的蛋糕，并得到了顾客们的大量支持，使这份爱传递了出去。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文“Ma also found the deliveryman’s hands were red because of the cold weather”可知，玛丽看到外卖员因为寒冷，手都红了，所以，这让她为外卖员感到难过。故选D。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The deliveryman was very thankful.”可知，外卖员很感激帮助了他的人。故选A。 【71题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，并根据首段的“...how acts of kindness can make a big difference.”和尾段的“To my surprise, acts of kindness followed”可判断，“善良的行为”可作最佳标题。故选B。 【72题详解】 推理判断题。本文报道了店主玛丽的行为，符合报道的特点。故选C。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求) A wise man was on his long trip with a young man, Paul. On the way, they met a poor family. The family prepared a simple meal for the two visitors. After the meal, the wise man asked how they made a living in such a poor place. The husband replied, “We feed a cow. We sell her milk to others for some money and keep some for our own needs.” The next morning, the two visitors went on with their trip. Suddenly, the wise man said to Paul, “Go back and push the cow off the cliff (悬崖).” Without the cow, they’ll have nothing. Paul was worried about the future of the family, but finally he did as the wise man told him. A few years later, Paul decided to visit the family again. He was surprised to see a large house with a beautiful garden there. A well-dressed man appeared. He was the son of the family. Then he invited Paul to go into the house and told him how their life changed. “We had nothing except a cow to keep us alive years ago. But one day it fell off and died. We had to think up new ways to make a living. So we’re much better than before.” After hearing his words, Paul laughed. 73. How did the poor family make a living at first? (不超过5个词) ___________________________________________________________ 74. What did the wise man ask Paul to do the next morning? (不超过10个词) ___________________________________________________________ 75. Why did Paul laugh at last? (不超过15个词) ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】73. By selling the cow’s milk. 74. Go back and push the cow off the cliff. 75. Because he understood why the wise man asked him to do so. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位智者让一个只依靠奶牛产奶维持生计的贫困家庭变富有的故事。 【73题详解】 根据“We feed a cow. We sell her milk to others for some money”可知，靠卖牛奶维持生计，故填By selling the cow’s milk. 【74题详解】 根据“Go back and push the cow off the cliff”可知，让Paul回去把牛推下悬崖，故填Go back and push the cow off the cliff. 【75题详解】 根据第三段以及最后一段可知，起初Paul并不理解智者让他把牛推下悬崖的原因，等到若干年后，看到这个家庭过上了好的生活，他才明白智者当初让他这样做的原因，所以他笑了，故填Because he understood why the wise man asked him to do so. 第四部分 写作(共两大题, 满分25分) IX. 单词拼写(共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示, 完成下列单词的拼写, 使句意明确, 语言通顺。 76.

Helpful. B. Lonely. C. Honest. D. Brave. 61. According to the passage, what is Sparky? A. A housekeeper. B. A dog helper. C. A nurse. D. A robot. C One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I will find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly. Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study showed that a high percentage (百分率) of children with bad behavior come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses may be unhealthy and fall sick more often. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure that our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank. I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom! 62. The writer hates to do chores but she has to do them because ________. A. her mother makes her do them B. she wants to help her mother C. she can’t relax or work if her room is untidy D. she thinks doing chores is good exercise 63. What does the underlined part “a tidy home means a tidy mind” mean? A. If everything is a mess, you can’t think clearly. B. The tidier your home is, the cleverer you are. C. A person with a tidy home usually has a healthy lifestyle. D. A smart person’s home is always clean and comfortable. 64. Which of the following is NOT true about the writer? A. She is a naturally tidy person. B. She wants to be like her mother. C. She is lazy sometimes but she is trying to be tidy. D. She thinks tidying up every day is a good habit. D If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault or not. It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day — and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day. As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other Cultures. Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, if they corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them. But why do they say sorry so often? In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “what” or “whatever”. People in Britain also use “sorry” when they share the same feeling with others — so they might say “sorry about the rain”. However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day. Can you understand this “sorry custom” of the British now? 65. In the old days, people said sorry when they ________. A. did something wrong B. asked the way C. wanted to repeat something D. made a choice 66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Americans say sorry more than British people. B. Even British people get confused when they say sorry. C. Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day. D. The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others. 67. What does the underlined word “apologize” mean? A. Say “hello”. B. Say “sorry”. C. Say “bye”. D. Say “thanks”. 68. What is the structure of this passage? A. ①② — ③④ — ⑤⑥ B. ① — ② — ③④⑤⑥ C. ①② — ③④ — ⑤⑥ D. ①② — ③④⑤ — ⑥ E Ma Li, a dessert (甜点) shop owner, has seen how acts of kindness can make a big difference.

The deliveryman was very thankful. Ma posted other photos of the deliveryman taking the cake and wrote, “We have delivered your kindness and the winter has become warmer because of all of you.” “At first, I just want to do something for him by myself.
