C 1. 答案：D 解析：定位至第 2 段最后一句 “Or, if you want to volunteer with a group of students from your high school, IVHQ can tailor a program for your group, too!”。句中 “tailor a program” 表示 “定制专属项目”，对应选项 D（A specialized program，一个专属项目）；A（志愿奖励）、B（免费旅行）、C（出国留学机会）均未在文中提及。 2. 答案：A 解析：定位至 “Guaranteed support” 部分最后一句 “Through our online safety training, comprehensive information brochures, on-going support from experienced program managers and round-the-clock support from our local teams, IVHQ volunteers are well-supported...”。句中明确提到 “local teams’ support（当地团队的支持）”，对应选项 A；B（合作伙伴支持）、C（大学推荐信）、D（父母陪同）均未在 “保障支持” 部分提及。 3. 答案：B 解析：定位至第 2 段最后一句 “Or, if you want to volunteer with a group of students from your high school, IVHQ can tailor a program for your group, too!”。结合语境，“为高中团队_____项目”，A（做衣服）与 “项目” 搭配不符；C（提供）表述宽泛，未体现 “针对团队需求调整” 的含义；D（接收）逻辑颠倒；B（设计）符合 “根据团队需求定制专属项目” 的语境，故 “tailor” 在此处意为 “design（设计、定制）”。 4. 答案：D 解析：定位至第 2 段第 2 句 “Some of the best programs this year include Turtle Conservation in Bali, Animal Care in Costa Rica and Childcare in Tanzania.”。句中明确列出今年的优质项目为 A（巴厘岛海龟保护）、B（哥斯达黎加动物护理）、C（坦桑尼亚儿童关爱），D（中国饮食文化）未被提及，故为 “除外项”。 5. 答案：C 解析：全文围绕 “International Volunteer HQ（IVHQ）” 展开，第 1 段介绍其为青少年提供海外志愿机会，第 2 段说明项目目的地、优质项目及团队定制服务，第 3-4 段强调志愿益处和保障支持，最后一句 “If you're ready to... please contact us. IVHQ will be more than happy to offer a service.” 明确呼吁读者联系并使用其服务。由此可知，文章核心目的是 “为 IVHQ 的海外青少年志愿服务做宣传”，对应选项 C（advertise a service，宣传一项服务）；A（倡导志愿活动）过于宽泛，未聚焦 “IVHQ 的服务”；B（介绍要求）文中未提及志愿条件；D（建议生活方式）仅为志愿活动的附加影响，非核心目的。 II.

He said he climbed a tree to _____5_____ the first wave but when he got down, another big wave swept him away.

E 2. A 3. F 4. C 5. B . 答案：E（swept） 解析：此处需填一个动词，与 “tsunami wave（海啸波）” 和 “him out to sea（把他卷到海里）” 搭配。“swept” 是 “sweep（席卷、冲卷）” 的过去式，“sweep sb. out to sea” 为固定搭配，意为 “把某人卷到海里”，符合语境（海啸将他卷进大海）。 2. 答案：D（took place） 解析：此处需填一个动词短语，作句子谓语，主语是 “The incident（这起事件）”，表示 “事件发生”。“took place” 是 “take place（发生）” 的过去式，强调 “有计划或自然发生的事件”，符合语境（海啸卷人事件发生在汤加火山爆发之后）；干扰项 A（happened）虽也表 “发生”，但更侧重 “偶然、意外发生”，此处事件由火山爆发引发，用 “took place” 更贴切。 3. 答案：F（toward） 解析：此处需填一个介词，与 “moving（移动）” 搭配，指向 “the small island of Atata（阿塔塔小岛）”。“toward” 意为 “朝向、朝着”，“move toward sp.” 表示 “朝某地移动”，符合语境（海啸正朝着小岛移动）。 4. 答案：C（disabled） 解析：此处需填一个形容词，作表语，且后句 “has difficulty walking（行走困难）” 是对该词的解释。“disabled” 意为 “残疾的、有障碍的”，符合语境（Folau 有残疾，行走不便）。 5. 答案：B（escape） 解析：此处需填一个动词，与 “to” 搭配构成不定式，表目的（爬树的目的），宾语是 “the first wave（第一波海浪）”。“escape” 意为 “躲避、逃离”，符合语境（他爬上树躲避第一波海浪）。 III. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) It was 2011. I was working in the local government of Perth, Western Australia. One day, I visited a recycling factory. There, I was shown how my city's waste was sorted and how a portion of it would then get sent off for recycling. It was a complex and energy-intensive (需要消耗大量能源的) process.

The same goes for participation levels. In the first year, there were just 40 of us in Perth. The challenge _____5_____ to be far harder than I had thought. But by doing it together and sharing tips, we managed to reach our goals. Over the years, more and more people have joined our group. Last year, over 300 million people from 177 countries took part in “Plastic Free July”. As ordinary people, we can't do everything and certainly not all at once. _____6_____, there is always something that we can do. Start, for example, by just cutting out non-reusable, plastic water bottles. Get this good habit in place and then take on the next challenge. I'm proud of everybody who tries to save our planet.

C 1. 答案：C 解析：根据上下文，此处表达 “我从未认真考虑过发起一场全球性运动”。选项中 “seriously”（认真地）符合语境；“happily”（开心地）、“disappointingly”（令人失望地）、“lonely”（孤独的，形容词，此处需副词）均不符合语义。 2. 答案：B 解析：句意为 “我试图在 7 月整个月不用一次性塑料，并鼓励我的朋友也这样做”。“encouraged”（鼓励，常见搭配 “encourage sb. to do sth.”）符合语法和语义；“managed”（设法做到，搭配 “manage to do sth.”，无 “manage sb. to do” 结构）、“made”（使，搭配 “make sb. do sth.”，此处有 “to”，不符合）、“hoped”（希望，搭配 “hope to do sth.” 或 “hope that 从句”，无 “hope sb. to do” 结构）均排除。 3. 答案：B 解析：句意为 “如果我去年发起‘无塑料七月’，我就会成为众多提高塑料垃圾意识的人之一”。“raising”（提高，常见搭配 “raise awareness of...”）符合固定短语；“rising”（上升，不及物动词，无 “rise awareness” 用法）、“reducing”（减少，与 “awareness” 搭配语义不符）、“keeping”（保持，“keep awareness” 非正确搭配）均排除。 4. 答案：D 解析：句意为 “当我第一次要求喝饮料不要吸管时，服务员看着我，好像我是个外星人”。“as if”（好像，引导方式状语从句，符合 “把我看作外星人” 的语境）；“even if”（即使，表让步，语义不符）、“if”（如果，表条件，语义不符）、“like”（像，介词，后接名词 / 代词，不能接从句，此处后为完整句子 “ I were an alien”，排除）。 5. 答案：B 解析：句意为 “这个挑战结果比我想象的要难得多”。“turned out”（结果是，证明是，常见搭配 “turn out to be...”）符合语义；“turned off”（关闭，如关灯、电器）、“turned on”（打开，如开灯）、“turned down”（拒绝；调小音量）均不符合语境。 6. 答案：C 解析：前句 “作为普通人，我们不能做所有事，当然也不能一次做完所有事” 与后句 “总有我们能做的事” 之间是转折关系。“However”（然而，表转折）符合逻辑；“Instead”（反而，表替代）、“Therefore”（因此，表因果）、“Besides”（此外，表递进）均不符合前后句逻辑关系。 IV. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) The paintings of Vincent van Gogh sell for a lot of money today. But before his _____1_____ in1890, van Gogh had only been able to sell one painting. This star of the art world led a short, sad life that ended in a struggle with mental illness. Vincent was born in the Netherlands in 1853. He studied to be a minister of the church, like his father. But his mental illness was beginning and he felt _____2_____ too deeply. The leaders of his church asked him to leave. At the age of twenty-seven, he went to study art in Belgium. He thought that he could bring people happiness by _____3_____ something beautiful. He started painting. In 1886, Vincent moved to Paris. Around this time, there was a new style of painting amongst the artists there —impressionism. Vincent began to paint in this style. He used short strokes of his paintbrush and bright colours to create a feeling — an impression — of light and movement. In early1888, he moved to Arles in the south of France. He wanted other artists to come and live there, too _____4_____ they could all work together. His friend, the artist Paul Gauguin, joined him. But Vincent's mental illness became worse. Although he was often in hospital, Vincent painted his best works in the next few years, _____5_____ Sunflowers, Bedroom in Arles and The Starry Night. But people didn’t buy his paintings, and he always saw himself _____6_____ a failure. He died at 37. After he died, his paintings became more and more popular. He is regarded as one of the most successful painters. ( ) 1. A. birth B. college C. death D. work ( ) 2. A. something B. everything C. nothing D. some things ( ) 3. A. creating B. buying C. having D. saying ( ) 4. A. or B. so C. but D. still ( ) 5. A. include B. included C. includes D. including ( ) 6. A. as B. with C. by D. against 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B 5. D 6. A 1. 答案：C（death） · 原文依据：第一段第二句 “But before his _____ in 1890, van Gogh had only been able to sell one painting”，结合最后一段第一句 “He died at 37”（梵高 37 岁去世，1853 年出生，1890 年恰好是其去世年份）。 · 逻辑分析：选项 A（birth，出生）、B（college，大学）、D（work，工作）均与 “1890 年” 和 “仅卖出一幅画” 的语境不符，只有 “death（去世）” 能体现 “生前” 的时间背景，符合上下文逻辑。 2. 答案：B（everything） · 原文依据：第二段第三句 “But his mental illness was beginning and he felt _____ too deeply”。 · 逻辑分析：句中 “too deeply（过于深刻）” 暗示梵高因精神疾病，对事物的感受程度极强。A（something，某些事物）、D（some things，一些事物）程度较轻，C（nothing，没有事物）与 “felt deeply” 矛盾，只有 B（everything，所有事物）能体现 “对一切都感受极深” 的状态，符合精神疾病初期的心理特征。 3. 答案：A（creating） · 原文依据：第二段最后两句 “He thought that he could bring people happiness by _____ something beautiful. He started painting”（他认为通过_____美丽的事物能给人带来快乐，于是开始画画）。 · 逻辑分析：“painting（画画）” 本质是 “创造艺术作品” 的过程。B（buying，购买）、C（having，拥有）、D（saying，说）均与 “画画” 的动作无关，只有 A（creating，创造）能对应 “通过创作美丽事物传递快乐” 的语义，符合上下文。 4. 答案：B（so） · 原文依据：第三段第五句 “He wanted other artists to come and live there, too _____ they could all work together”（他希望其他艺术家也来这里居住，_____他们能一起创作）。 · 逻辑分析：前半句 “希望艺术家来居住” 是 “目的”，后半句 “一起创作” 是 “结果 / 目的”，需用表 “因果 / 目的” 的连词。A（or，或者，表选择）、C（but，但是，表转折）、D（still，仍然，表递进）均不符合逻辑，只有 B（so，因此，表结果）能连接 “邀请艺术家” 和 “一起创作” 的因果关系。 5. 答案：D（including） · 原文依据：第四段第一句 “Although he was often in hospital, Vincent painted his best works in the next few years, _____ Sunflowers, Bedroom in Arles and The Starry Night”（尽管他常住院，但梵高在接下来几年创作了最佳作品，_____《向日葵》《阿尔勒的卧室》《星夜》）。 · 逻辑分析：空格后是 “作品举例”，需用表 “包含” 的介词。A（include，动词原形）、B（included，过去式 / 过去分词）、C（includes，动词三单）均为动词，无法直接接名词短语作伴随说明；只有 D（including，介词，“包括”）可用于举例，符合语法与语境。 6. 答案：A（as） · 原文依据：第四段最后一句 “But people didn’t buy his paintings, and he always saw himself _____ a failure”（但没人买他的画，他总认为自己_____一个失败者）。 · 逻辑分析：“see oneself as...” 是固定搭配，意为 “把自己视为……”。B（with，和…… 一起）、C（by，通过…… 方式）、D（against，反对）均无此搭配，只有 A（as，作为，视为）符合固定用法，体现 “梵高视自己为失败者” 的语义。 1 / 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
