A. a, an B. a, the C. the, an D. the, a 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你在寒假期间看了电影《蛟龙行动》吗？ ——是的，这是一部令人惊叹的电影。 考查定冠词the和不定冠词an。a, an均为不定冠词，表示泛指，前者用于辅音音素开头的单词前，后者用于元音音素开头的单词前；the为定冠词，表示特指；根据“see...film The Operation of Jiaolong”可知，第一空特指电影《蛟龙行动》，用the；根据“...amazing film.”可知，amazing为元音音素开头的单词，用an来修饰。故选C。 2. —How long have you lived in SiYang? —________the end of last year. A. At B. Since C. For D. Before 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你在泗阳住了多久了？——从去年年底开始。 考查介词辨析。At表示“在某个具体时间点”；Since自从，后接具体时间点；For表示“持续的时间长度”，后接时间段；Before在……之前。根据“How long have you lived in SiYang?”可知，此处在询问在泗阳居住的时间长度。答句表示从去年年底开始居住，因此需要用since来引导时间点，表示动作从那时开始持续到现在。故选B。 3.

A. lonely; alone B. lonely; lonely C. alone; alone D. alone; lonely 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的朋友太少了，我不得不一个人住在这所学校，所以我有时感到孤独和无助。 考查词义辨析。lonely孤独的，形容词；alone单独，独自，既可作形容词也可作副词。根据“I have so few friends”可知，是一个人住在学校，并感到孤独，第一空修饰动词live应用副词alone，第二空是系表结构，feel lonely意为“感到孤独”，故选D。 5. —Did Simon invite you to his party? —Yes, But I had to ________ it because it is hard for me to spare time for it. A. renew B. refuse C. return D. receive 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——西蒙邀请你去他的派对了吗？——是的，但是我不得不拒绝它，因为我很难抽出时间去。 考查动词词义辨析。renew重新开始；refuse拒绝；return返回；receive接收。根据“because it is hard for me to spare time for it.”可知，此处应该是拒绝了邀请。故选B。 6.

That’s the place they dreamt of travelling to before they got married. A. have gone to B. have been to C. have been in D. are going to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么这对夫妇今天不在家？——他们去西藏了。那是他们结婚前梦想去的地方。 考查现在完成时。have gone to去了某地（还未回来）；have been to去过某地（已经回来了）；have been in待在某个地方；are going to将要……。根据“Why are the couple not at home today?”可知，夫妇不在家，说明是去了某地还未回来，应用have gone to。故选A。 9. —Would you mind ________ the window?

A. Thank you B. Good idea C. That’s OK D. Me too 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我喜欢春天因为我能在有风的日子放风筝。——我也是。 考查情景交际用语辨析。thank you谢谢；good idea好主意；that’s OK没关系；me too我也是。根据“I like spring because I can fly kites on windy days”可知，此处应用“Me too”，与前一句“我喜欢春天”的意思相呼应，表示另一个人也喜欢春天，因此是最合适的回应。故选D。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读短文，从短文后所给四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Nezha 2: Magic Boy Against the Sea” has become a huge hit among Chinese movie lovers.

He and his grandpa were very close. They would go fishing by the lake, and his grandpa would tell him stories about stars on summer nights. After his grandpa died, Tom was very sad. One day, Tom’s science teacher talked about AI in class. She said AI could do many amazing things, like making pictures, writing stories, and even talking like real people. An idea popped into Tom’s head. He wondered if he could use AI to “see” his grandpa again. Tom told his parents about his idea. At first, they were surprised, but then they decided to help him. They collected all the photos, videos, and voice recordings of Tom’s grandpa. Tom also wrote down all the stories his grandpa told him and the things they used to talk about. Then, they found a company that worked on AI. The company used the photos and videos to create a 3D image of Tom’s grandpa. They used the voice recordings to make the AI “speak” like his grandpa. And with all the stories and memories Tom provided, the AI could “talk” about the things his grandpa used to talk about. Finally, the big day came. Tom put on a special headset (耳机). Suddenly, his grandpa’s kind face appeared in front of him. “Hi, Tom,” the AI—grandpa said with a warm smile, just like his real grandpa. Tom’s eyes filled with tears. “Grandpa, I miss you so much,” he said. They talked for a long time. The AI—grandpa told Tom to be a good boy, study hard, and always be kind to others. Tom told his “grandpa” about his school, his friends, and the new kitten he got. Even though Tom knew it wasn’t his real grandpa, it still made him feel better. It was like a special gift that let him say the things he always wanted to say and feel his grandpa’s love again. From that day on, Tom didn’t feel so sad. He knew his grandpa was in a better place, and the AI gave him a way to keep the memories alive. 29. What did Tom do to “see” his grandpa again? A. He asked his teacher for help. B.

Every year, about 6.5 million people die because of the serious air ________ (污染). 【答案】pollution 【解析】 【详解】句意：每年，大约650万人死于严重的空气污染。根据汉语提示可知，pollution“污染”，不可数名词。故填pollution。 47. The wind is blowing strongly with lots of ________ (沙). 【答案】sand 【解析】 【详解】句意：风吹得非常猛烈，夹杂着大量沙。根据汉语提示可知，sand“沙”，不可数名词，作宾语。故填sand。 48. The buses went in o________ directions——one went east and the other went west. 【答案】(o)pposite 【解析】 【详解】句意：这两辆公交车朝着相反的方向行驶——一辆向东，另一辆向西。根据“one went east and the other went west”及首字母提示可知，此处表示“相反的”。opposite“相反的”。故填(o)pposite。 49. After the marathon race, all of us were ________ (疲劳的) out except Mike. 【答案】tired 【解析】 【详解】句意：马拉松比赛结束后，除了迈克，我们都累坏了。此处考查be tired out“精疲力尽”。故填tired。 50. So far, I haven’t ________ (收到) a letter from my father. 【答案】received 【解析】 【详解】句意：到目前为止，我还没有收到父亲的来信。句子中“So far”表示动作从过去延续到现在，需用现在完成时have/has+过去分词。“haven’t”是“have not”的缩写，后接动词的过去分词形式。中文提示“收到”对应英文动词“receive”，其过去分词为“received”。故填received。 51. I hope David will ________ (成功) pass the coming mid-term examination. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：我希望David能成功通过即将到来的期中考试。根据题干可知，其“will”后需接动词原形“pass”，但空白处位于“will”和“pass”之间，因此需要一个副词来修饰动词“pass”，表示“通过考试”的方式。 括号中的“成功”在英文中对应动词“succeed”，但“succeed”是动词，不能直接放在“will”和“pass”之间。 要表达“成功地做某事”，英文常用副词形式“successfully”来修饰动词，意为“成功地”。故填successfully。 52. She found a ________ (very small) ant in his pencil-box. 【答案】tiny 【解析】 【详解】句意：她在他的铅笔盒里发现了一只极小的蚂蚁。根据“very small”可知，tiny意为“非常小的，极小的”，形容词，作定语，修饰名词ant。故填tiny。 53. The government ________ (意识到) the problem and took action to improve the situation. 【答案】realized 【解析】 【详解】句意：政府意识到了这个问题，并采取了行动来改善情况。realize“意识到”，是动词，结合“took”可知，句子用的是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填realized。 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I like reading, especially novels.

They would go fishing by the lake, and his grandpa would tell him stories about stars on summer nights. After his grandpa died, Tom was very sad. One day, Tom’s science teacher talked about AI in class. She said AI could do many amazing things, like making pictures, writing stories, and even talking like real people. An idea popped into Tom’s head. He wondered if he could use AI to “see” his grandpa again. Tom told his parents about his idea. At first, they were surprised, but then they decided to help him. They collected all the photos, videos, and voice recordings of Tom’s grandpa. Tom also wrote down all the stories his grandpa told him and the things they used to talk about. Then, they found a company that worked on AI. The company used the photos and videos to create a 3D image of Tom’s grandpa. They used the voice recordings to make the AI “speak” like his grandpa. And with all the stories and memories Tom provided, the AI could “talk” about the things his grandpa used to talk about. Finally, the big day came. Tom put on a special headset (耳机). Suddenly, his grandpa’s kind face appeared in front of him. “Hi, Tom,” the AI—grandpa said with a warm smile, just like his real grandpa. Tom’s eyes filled with tears. “Grandpa, I miss you so much,” he said. They talked for a long time. The AI—grandpa told Tom to be a good boy, study hard, and always be kind to others. Tom told his “grandpa” about his school, his friends, and the new kitten he got. Even though Tom knew it wasn’t his real grandpa, it still made him feel better. It was like a special gift that let him say the things he always wanted to say and feel his grandpa’s love again. From that day on, Tom didn’t feel so sad. He knew his grandpa was in a better place, and the AI gave him a way to keep the memories alive. 29. What did Tom do to “see” his grandpa again? A. He asked his teacher for help. B. He made a special headset by himself. C. He collected photos, videos and stories of his grandpa and found an Al company. D. He wrote a letter to his grandpa every day. 30.

Following the map’s directions, Jane entered the dark cave. As she walked deeper, a strange light suddenly appeared. Before she could understand what was happening, she was sucked into a time tunnel!

Jane learned to milk cows (奶牛), make bread, and take care of farm animals. One day, while exploring the forest, Jane discovered that the time tunnel would open again in three days. She was excited to go back home, but at the same time, she felt sad to leave her new friends. On the day the tunnel opened, Jane said goodbye to Tom and the villagers. As she stepped into the tunnel, she closed her eyes. When she opened them, she was back in the cave near her home. Jane returned home with a new understanding of history. She also realized that no matter how different times are, people’s kindness and friendship always stay the same. 37. How did Jane find the way to the cave? A. She found a map in an old book. B.
