A. a; an B. a; / C. an; / D. an; a 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——俄国是一个欧洲的国家吗？——是的，尽管它有很大一部分在亚洲。 考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a后面紧跟的词是以辅音音素开头，不定冠词an后面紧跟的词是以元音音素开头。European是以辅音音素开头的单词，结合句意，第一空用不定冠词a表示泛指，排除选项C和D。第二空在Asia“亚洲”这个专有名词前面不用冠词，所以第二空是零冠词，故选B。 2. —I hear Gary went to _________ last week? —Yes, he told me on WeChat that he was excited to visit the Little Mermaid.

A. so; such B. such; so C. so; so D. such; such 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：令人惊讶的是，这么小的孩子知道这么多知识。 考查such和so的用法区别。little children为名词短语，前面用such修饰，表示“如此小的孩子”；much只能与so连用，构成固定短语so much，意为“如此多的，这么多的”。故选B。 4. Nobody except Simon and John ________ the museum before. Only they can be our guides. A. have been to B. have gone to C. has been to D. has gone to 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：除了西蒙和约翰，之前没有人去过这个博物馆。只有他们能当我们的向导。 考查就远原则和动词短语。have been to去过某地，已返回；have gone to去了某地，未返回；has been to去过某地，已返回；has gone to去了某地，未返回。根据“except”可知，此句适用于“就远原则”，“Nobody”决定助动词用has；根据“Only can they be our guides.”可知，此处指只有西蒙和约翰去过，并且回来了，才能当向导。故选C。 5. — How do you like the film named Ne Zha? — Excellent. I am reading some ________ of it online. A. records B. reviews C. reports D. replies 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得《哪吒》这部电影怎么样？——很棒。我正在网上看一些关于它的评论。 考查名词辨析。records记录；reviews评论；reports报告；replies回复。根据“Excellent”和“I am reading some...of it online.”可知，是在网上看到评论，所以觉得很棒，故选B。 6. —What is your key to success? —I believe that nothing difficult will be ________ if I put my heart into it. A. by the way B. in the way C. on the way D. in this way 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你成功的秘诀是什么？ ——我相信只要我用心，没有什么困难会阻碍我。 考查介词短语辨析。by the way顺便说；in the way妨碍；on the way在路上；in this way以这种方式。根据“nothing difficult will be … if I put my heart into it”可知，此处是指如果“我”全力以赴，没有什么困难会成为阻碍。故选B。 7. — ________ I swim in that river, Mum? — No, you ________. The lake is so wide and deep. It is very dangerous to swim there. A. Must, can’t B. Can; may not C. May; mustn’t D. Shall; don’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，我可以在那条河里游泳吗？——不，你不可以。那个湖又宽又深，在那里游泳非常危险。 考查情态动词辨析。must必须；can能；may可能，可以；shall将要；can’t不能；may not可能不，可以不；mustn’t禁止，不可以；don’t不要。根据“Can/May I swim…?”常用来询问能否做某事，其中“May I…?”更礼貌。结合答句“It is very dangerous to swim there.”可知应选表示禁止的“mustn’t”。故选C。 8. If we ________ someone while he is talking, it will be really bad manners.

Lucy had few close friends. So she didn’t know ________ about the trouble. A. who to talk to B. who to talk C. who to say D. what to talk 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：露西几乎没有亲密的朋友。所以她不知道该和谁谈谈这件事。 考查疑问词+动词不定式结构。talk to sb. about sth.“和某人谈论某事”；say sth. to sb.“向某人说某事”，是固定搭配，根据“about the trouble”可知，此处指谈论事情，A项符合。故选A。 10. —Dad, when will we go to the ocean park to watch the dolphin show? —________. A. Until we finish the housework B. Until we will finish the housework C. Not until we finish the housework D. Not until we will finish the housework 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，我们什么时候去海洋公园看海豚表演？——直到我们完成家务（才去）。 考查时间状语从句和时态。此处想表达“直到完成家务才去海洋公园”，应该用“not until”结构，此时句子时态遵循主将从现，从句用一般现在时表将来。故选C。 11. —Why are you looking upset? —I haven’t finished my homework yet. This maths problem is ________. A. so hard for me to understand it B. too hard for me to understand C. too hard for me to understand it D. so hard for me to understand 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你为什么看起来很沮丧？——我还没有完成作业。这道数学题太难了，我不能理解。 考查too...to结构。根据“This maths problem is...”并结合备选项可知，此处意为“太难而不能理解”，可用too...to结构表达，排除A和D；problem与understand为动宾关系，所以及物动词understand后不可再接宾语，排除C。故选B。 12. Which of the following transitions is used to show cause and effect? A. After reading the book, I am not as shy as before. B. I also want to travel around the world in the future. C. I can tell her anything because she can keep a secret. D.

Which of the following sentences is NOT an opinion? A. Physics is hard to learn. B. Life is getting better and better in some ways. C. Pengzu Park is really a good place to have fun. D. My parents usually walked to school many years ago. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：下面的哪一句不是观点。 考查常识。Physics is hard to learn物理很难学；Life is getting better and better in some ways生活在某些方面正变得越来越好；Pengzu Park is really a good place to have fun彭祖公园真是个娱乐的好地方；My parents usually walked to school many years ago许多年以前我的父母通常步行去学校。根据这几句的句意，可以看出D选项是描述的过去的一种事实，不是观点。故选D。 14. —Believe me. I am sure I will get 100 points in the coming test. —________. You’d better start getting ready for it now. A. Every dog has its day B. Actions speak louder than words C. The early bird catches the worm D. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——相信我。我确定在即将到来的考试中我会得100分。——行动胜于言语。你最好现在就开始准备。 考查谚语。“Every dog has its day”意思是“凡人皆有得意日”；“Actions speak louder than words”意思是“行动胜于言语”；“The early bird catches the worm”意思是“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”；“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”意思是“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”。根据答语“You’d better start getting ready for it now.”可知，此处是劝对方不要只是嘴上说，要用实际行动，所以“Actions speak louder than words”符合语境。故选B。 15. —My watch doesn’t work. Can you tell me what time it is now? —________. It’s 12:00. A. Good idea B. My pleasure C. No way D. With pleasure 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我的手表不工作了。你能告诉我现在几点了吗？——很乐意。现在是12点。 考查情景交际。Good idea好主意；My pleasure我的荣幸（通常用于回答感谢）；No way没门；With pleasure很乐意（通常用于回答请求）。根据“Can you tell me what time it is now?”可知，此处是回答对方的请求，表示愿意帮忙，所以应该用With pleasure。故选D。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus.

On a winter morning, I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints (脚印) outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel of the left one.

There will be 12,000 people and over 20 robots from different countries competing in it. Participating robots must have a human-like appearance and walk or run on two legs. Wheels are not allowed. Humans and robots will use separate lanes (专用道) to avoid accidents. There is a robot named Xiaomai. It’s 1.74 meters tall. A Chinese company made it. Videos show Xiaomai running on hilly roads near Taihu Lake. It runs as fast as people. Workers in the company spend a year making Xiaomai better. They work on its balance, how it stands, and how long it can run. The marathon is 21.0975 kilometers long. Another robot, Tian Gong, can run 10-km per hour. It’s also training hard. There are some rules for robot competitors. They can change batteries (电池) in the race, but they will get a 10-minute penalty. Teams can change robots, but each change brings a penalty. If a robot falls, it must stand up by itself. The cut-off time is 3.5 hours for robots. Prizes of cash awards will be given to top 3 finishers. There will be special awards for robots—“Best Endurance” and “Most Popular.” This marathon shows China wants to be good at making robots. It’s getting ready for the 2025 World Robot Conference. Organizers want to show how good robot technology is. They also want people to talk about how robots and people can work together in the future. 38. What is special about the race? A.

It led me to buy matching shoes and earrings. This reminded me of the “birdcage effect (鸟笼效应)”, a psychological phenomenon (心理现象) when getting one thing makes you want to get more things to go with it. The story behind the birdcage effect is quite fascinating. One day, the psychologist James made a bet (打赌) with his friend Carlson, saying that Carlson would keep a bird soon. Hearing this, Carlson said, “Are you kidding? I have never had this idea.” Later, James gave Carlson a birdcage on his birthday. When friends who visited Carlson’s house saw the cage, they all thought that Carlson had raised birds. Carlson was tired of explaining, and finally, he bought a bird. As online shopping is popular today, the birdcage effect becomes more common, especially among students. For example, a friend of mine wanted to buy a good pen to match a nice notebook that her sister had given her. She believed it would make her enjoy reading and note-taking. ▲ However, she saw it differently. The beautiful notebook led her to get a good pen, buy a book she liked and start note-taking. She regarded it as a wonderful example of using the birdcage effect positively (正面地) to develop positive habits. In life, we will meet many forms of the “birdcage effect”. If it leads to unnecessary spending, it’s negative (负面的). We should stop it in time and keep a balance. But if it’s a positive birdcage effect that encourages us to grow and develop, we should see it as a chance to help us achieve our goals. You will find that the “birdcage effect” is not scary at all. 42. What does the underlined phrase “this idea” refer to? A. Making a bet. B. Telling a joke. C. Buying a birdcage. D. Keeping a bird. 43. According to the passage, what can be seen as “birdcage effect”? A. Tim wrote some words on the white wall and soon the wall was full of drawings and words. B. In KFC, you get coke for free and then you buy hamburgers and French fries to go with it. C. Amy becomes an excellent singer because her teacher told her she was talented in singing. D. Xiao Ye is from Chongqing, so his friends all believe that he likes eating hot pot. 44. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ in Para. 3? A. I believed that she would soon love taking notes in this way, too. B. I believed that it was a perfect example of avoiding the birdcage effect. C. I thought this was a typical example of the negative birdcage effect. D. I thought that she would hate reading and taking notes if she did so. 45. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. the negative impact of Birdcage Effect B. how to avoid Birdcage Effect in daily life C. the advantages and disadvantages of Birdcage Effect D. the history of Birdcage Effect 【答案】42. D 43. B 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了心理学中的“鸟笼效应”现象，通过具体事例说明其正面和负面影响，并建议合理利用这一效应。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“the psychologist James made a bet (打赌) with his friend Carlson, saying that Carlson would keep a bird soon.”和“Are you kidding”可知，Carlson没有想要养鸟的想法。“this idea”指代前文James打赌说Carlson会养鸟的行为。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“getting one thing makes you want to get more things to go with it”可知，鸟笼效应是得到一件东西会让你想得到更多的东西来搭配它。B选项“在肯德基免费获得可乐后购买汉堡和薯条搭配”符合这一现象。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, a friend of mine wanted to buy a good pen to match a nice notebook that her sister had given her. She believed it would make her enjoy reading and note-taking.”和“However, she saw it differently… a wonderful example of using the birdcage effect positively”可知，此处作者认为朋友的行为是鸟笼效应的负面表现，与后文朋友的积极态度形成对比。选项C“我认为这是一个典型的鸟笼效应的负面例子。”符合语境。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并根据“If it leads to unnecessary spending, it’s negative… But if it’s a positive birdcage effect”可知，本文主要介绍了心理学中的“鸟笼效应”现象，通过具体事例说明其正面和负面影响，即本文主要告诉我们鸟笼效应的利弊。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题部分共60分） 五、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 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.

I lived on the streets and in the woods. My story of a journey and adventures all started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. And I put it in the bank. Then a kind old lady called Widow (寡妇) Douglas invited me to live with her. My life changed after I went to live with the widow. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going. The hardest things for me were eating my meals at the table and sleeping in a soft bed. Sometimes I ran away and spent a few days in the woods. I felt free there and I was happy. I fished and hunted all day. At night I slept under the stars... On a winter morning, I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints (脚印) outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel!

But this marathon is not only for people. Robots will run too. This is the first time robots and people run in the same half marathon. The marathon is in “E-town”. There will be 12,000 people and over 20 robots from different countries competing in it. Participating robots must have a human-like appearance and walk or run on two legs. Wheels are not allowed. Humans and robots will use separate lanes (专用道) to avoid accidents. There is a robot named Xiaomai. It’s 1.74 meters tall. A Chinese company made it. Videos show Xiaomai running on hilly roads near Taihu Lake. It runs as fast as people. Workers in the company spend a year making Xiaomai better. They work on its balance, how it stands, and how long it can run. The marathon is 21.0975 kilometers long. Another robot, Tian Gong, can run 10-km per hour. It’s also training hard. There are some rules for robot competitors. They can change batteries (电池) in the race, but they will get a 10-minute penalty. Teams can change robots, but each change brings a penalty. If a robot falls, it must stand up by itself. The cut-off time is 3.5 hours for robots. Prizes of cash awards will be given to top 3 finishers. There will be special awards for robots—“Best Endurance” and “Most Popular.” This marathon shows China wants to be good at making robots. It’s getting ready for the 2025 World Robot Conference.

China Will Show Robot Technology at Marathon D While tidying my room, I found an old Hanfu, a gift from a friend. It led me to buy matching shoes and earrings. This reminded me of the “birdcage effect (鸟笼效应)”, a psychological phenomenon (心理现象) when getting one thing makes you want to get more things to go with it. The story behind the birdcage effect is quite fascinating. One day, the psychologist James made a bet (打赌) with his friend Carlson, saying that Carlson would keep a bird soon. Hearing this, Carlson said, “Are you kidding? I have never had this idea.” Later, James gave Carlson a birdcage on his birthday. When friends who visited Carlson’s house saw the cage, they all thought that Carlson had raised birds. Carlson was tired of explaining, and finally, he bought a bird. As online shopping is popular today, the birdcage effect becomes more common, especially among students. For example, a friend of mine wanted to buy a good pen to match a nice notebook that her sister had given her. She believed it would make her enjoy reading and note-taking. ▲ However, she saw it differently. The beautiful notebook led her to get a good pen, buy a book she liked and start note-taking. She regarded it as a wonderful example of using the birdcage effect positively (正面地) to develop positive habits. In life, we will meet many forms of the “birdcage effect”. If it leads to unnecessary spending, it’s negative (负面的). We should stop it in time and keep a balance. But if it’s a positive birdcage effect that encourages us to grow and develop, we should see it as a chance to help us achieve our goals. You will find that the “birdcage effect” is not scary at all. 42. What does the underlined phrase “this idea” refer to? A. Making a bet. B. Telling a joke. C. Buying a birdcage. D. Keeping a bird. 43. According to the passage, what can be seen as “birdcage effect”? A. Tim wrote some words on the white wall and soon the wall was full of drawings and words. B. In KFC, you get coke for free and then you buy hamburgers and French fries to go with it. C. Amy becomes an excellent singer because her teacher told her she was talented in singing. D. Xiao Ye is from Chongqing, so his friends all believe that he likes eating hot pot. 44. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ in Para. 3? A. I believed that she would soon love taking notes in this way, too. B. I believed that it was a perfect example of avoiding the birdcage effect. C. I thought this was a typical example of the negative birdcage effect. D. I thought that she would hate reading and taking notes if she did so. 45. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. the negative impact of Birdcage Effect B. how to avoid Birdcage Effect in daily life C. the advantages and disadvantages of Birdcage Effect D. the history of Birdcage Effect 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题部分共60分） 五、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 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.
