A. a; an B. the; a C. a; a D. the; an 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得电影《志愿军》怎么样？——我认为这是一部我永远不会忘记的优秀电影。 考查冠词的用法。a一个，表示泛指，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；an一个，表示泛指，用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the这个，表示特指。根据“The Chinese Volunteer Army”可知，第一个空特指电影《志愿军》，需用定冠词the；第二个空，“one”指代可数名词单数的“film”，且“excellent”是以元音音素开头的单词，用an修饰，泛指不会忘记的优秀电影。故选D。 2. —It’s said that Andrew hit a pipe and filled the room with water. —I think we’d better help him ________ right away. A. open it up B. put it up C. mop it up D. turn it up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——据说安德鲁撞破了水管，房间里全是水。——我们最好马上帮他擦干净。 考查动词短语。open it up打开它；put it up张贴它；mop it up擦干它；turn it up调高它。根据“Andrew hit a pipe and filled the room with water”可知，水管破了，房间里都是水，需要擦干水。故选C。 3. The house is just what I’m dreaming of. ________, it’s only 2 miles from my workplace. A. Otherwise B. Moreover C. However D. Sometimes 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这房子正是我梦寐以求的。而且，它离我的工作地点只有2英里。 考查副词辨析。Otherwise否则，表转折；Moreover而且，表递进；However然而，表转折；Sometimes有时，表频率。根据“The house is just what I’m dreaming of”和“it’s only 2 miles from my workplace”可知，后句是对前句的补充说明，强调房子的另一优点，需用表递进的副词Moreover。故选B。 4. Which of the following has the same structure as “Mr. Fan taught us English.”? A. We all laughed happily. B. I saw him crossing the street yesterday. C. His face turned red quickly. D. He gave the boy a lot of advice. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：下列哪句与“Mr. Fan taught us English.”结构相同？ 考查“主语+谓语+双宾语”结构。根据“Mr. Fan taught us English.”可知，“Mr. Fan”为主语；“taught”为及物动词，作谓语；“us”为间接宾语；“English”为直接宾语，此句为“主语+及物动词+间接宾语+直接宾语”结构。选项D结构与题干句子结构一致。“He”为主语；“gave”为及物动词，作谓语；“the boy”为间接宾语；“a lot of advice”为直接宾语。故选D。 5. —Why didn’t you carry an umbrella with you? —Because it ________ when I left my home. A. didn’t rain B. rained C. wasn’t raining D. was raining 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你为什么不带伞？——因为我离开家时没下雨。 考查过去进行时。答语为when引导的一般过去时的时间状语从句，主句描述的是过去某个时间正在发生的动作，故用过去进行时态，它的构成为：主语+was/were+V-ing形式，主语it是第三人称单数形式，be动词应该用was；根据“Why didn’t you carry an umbrella with you”可知，那时候没有下雨，所以用否定形式wasn’t。故选C。 6. —Oh dear, how can I finish the task in such a short time? —You need to ________, and then make a plan first. A. look through B. calm down C. cut out D. keep on 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哦，亲爱的，我怎么能在这么短的时间内完成任务呢？——你需要冷静下来，然后先制定计划。 考查动词短语。look through浏览；calm down冷静；cut out剪掉；keep on继续。根据“how can I finish the task in such a short time”和“and then make a plan first”可知，面对时间紧张的任务，应先冷静下来，再制定计划。故选B。 7. —Nile, do you know why some wild birds fly to the south every winter? —________ from the cold weather here. A. Hide B. Hides C. To hide D. Hiding 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——奈尔，你知道为什么一些野生鸟每年冬天飞到南方吗？——为了躲避这里寒冷的天气。 考查动词不定式表目的。在英语中，当回答“why”的问题时，常用“to + 动词原形”来表示目的或原因，意思是“为了……”。故选C。 8. I will buy a new flat ________ living in the old house if the price ________ next month. A. instead of; drops B. instead; will drop C. instead of; will drop D. instead; drops 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果下个月房价下跌，我会买一套新公寓，而不是继续住在旧房子里。 考查词汇辨析和条件状语从句的用法。 instead of代替，而不是，后接名词或动名词；instead代替，副词，单独使用时需置于句首或句末，且不接宾语。根据living可知，此处为动名词形式，空一应用短语instead of；if引导的条件状语从句中，主句用将来时，从句用一般现在时，空二用drops。故选A。 9. —Excuse me, could you tell me which bus I can take to the new Wanda shopping mall? —Oh, What a pity! ________ of these buses will take you there. You have to walk there. A. All B. Nothing C. Both D. None 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——打扰一下，你能告诉我去新万达购物中心坐哪路车吗？——哦，真遗憾！这些巴士都不能带你去那里。你必须步行去那里。 考查不定代词。All （三者或以上）都；Nothing没有东西；Both（二者 ）都；None（三者或以上）都不；根据“What a pity”和“You have to walk there”可知此处指“没有车能到那”。故选D。 10. —I’m planning to have a trip to Hong Kong for the winter holiday. What about you? —That’s great! We ________ go to my father’s hometown but we haven’t decided yet. A. may B. must C. should D. need 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我正计划寒假去香港旅行。你呢？——那太棒了！我们可能会去我父亲的家乡，但还没决定呢。 考查情态动词。may可能；must必须；should应该；need需要。根据下文“but we haven’t decided yet.”可知，“去我父亲的家乡”这件事是不确定的，只是有“可能”去，所以这里用may表示推测。故选A。 11. Every year, more and more birds come to the south to live ________ the winter. A. through B. across C. around D. in 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：每年，越来越多的鸟来到南方过冬。 考查介词辨析。through穿过，度过，强调从头到尾的过程；across横穿，跨越，指空间上的穿过；around围绕，大约；in在……内。根据“more and more birds come to the south to live”可知，鸟在南方度过整个冬天，强调时间上的持续，用through。故选A。 12. —I think the book Peter Pan is more interesting than Happy Prince. —You mean the Happy Prince is ________ Peter Pan.

A. untidy B. important C. impatient D. unhealthy 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：下列哪个单词没有前缀？ 考查构词法。untidy不整洁的，前缀为un-，表示否定；important重要的，无前缀；impatient不耐烦的，前缀为im-，表示否定；unhealthy不健康的，前缀为un-，表示否定。故选B。 15.

Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen here and there. It’s not lucky that many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. A research shows that this can have long-term bad influences (影响) on your health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, maybe we can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings of being too afraid，disappointed and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breath (呼吸) or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 34. According to the text, which of the following about anger is true? A. Sometimes anger is a good feeling. B. It’s better to cry out when we are angry. C. Few people will keep their feelings hidden. D. Anger will probably do harm to our health. 35. Which of the following is right? (X means the time you get angry, Y means the bad influence it will have.) A. A B. B C. C D. D 36. Which can help deal with the feeling of anger? a. Taking some exercise. b. Eating delicious food. c. Talking about the feelings d. Doing some controlled breathing A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. What makes you angry? B. Why are you angry? C. When to deal with anger? D. How to deal with anger? 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. C 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了愤怒这一情绪的影响，指出压抑愤怒或通过哭闹、破坏物品发泄愤怒均不可取，进而提出了正确应对愤怒的方法，包括明确愤怒的原因、关注日常引发愤怒的小事并理性看待、倾诉情绪、深呼吸及运动等，强调学会处理愤怒能让人更快乐健康。 34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen here and there. It’s not lucky that many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. A research shows that this can have long-term bad influences on your health.”可知，愤怒情绪若处理不当会危害健康。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get.”可知，愤怒持续的时间（X）越长，产生的不良影响（Y）越严重，二者呈正相关关系（即 X 轴数值增大时，Y 轴数值也随之增大）。选项A图像符合“时间越长，不良影响越严重”这一规律。故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it”和“Take some deep breath or find some helpful exercise to do”可知，倾诉情绪、运动、深呼吸能帮助处理愤怒。故选C。 【37题详解】 最佳标题题。 文章开篇指出愤怒的负面影响，随后重点围绕“我们如何以正确的方式处理自己的愤怒情绪？”展开，介绍了多种正确处理愤怒的方法，因此文章核心是“如何应对愤怒”。 故选D。 C 3-year-old Casey Hathaway who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. The boy told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said that he was with a friend—a bear. The boy went missing on 22 January while playing with friends near his grandmother’s house. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. The police formed a search team to look for the boy in the nearby woods, but two days went by and no Casey. Then on 24 January, someone called the police saying that he heard a child crying in the woods. The police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. He was in good health. The police officer Chip Hughes said that Casey did not say how he could survive (幸存) in the woods for two days in the cold, rainy weather. “However, he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear with him,” Hughes said. Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including about 600 volunteers. Doctors at the medical center gave Casey an examination. He was then sent to his family on 25 January.

Casey’s family were thankful to all the people who searched for Casey. 【答案】38. A 39. B 40. C 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了3岁Casey Hathaway在森林中迷路两天后获救的故事。他在寒冷的雨天里与一只熊为伴，最终被警方和志愿者成功救出。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“3-year-old Casey Hathaway who was lost in the woods”以及“The boy told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods.”可知，Casey Hathaway在树林里迷路了，应是男孩告诉他的救援人员他并不孤单，所以划线部分的含义是“救援人员”。故选A。 39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He said that he was with a friend—a bear.”可知，陪伴Casey的是一只熊。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The boy went missing on 22 January while playing with friends near his grandmother’s house. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.”以及“Then on 24 January, someone called the police saying that he heard a child crying in the woods. The police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. He was in good health.”可知，正确顺序是：Casey和朋友们玩耍→家人开始寻找Casey→有人听到孩子的哭声→警方发现Casey健康状况良好。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Casey’s mother thanked everyone who joined the search for her son.”可知，凯西的家人对所有寻找凯西的人都心怀感激。故选D。 D You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robot waiters. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver (派送) food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you scratch (挠) their heads. Are robot waiters the future? It is a question that the restaurant industry is trying to answer. Many people think that robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages (短缺). Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. “There is no doubt (怀疑) in my mind that this is where the world is going,” said Dennis Reynolds, head of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. The school’s restaurant began using a robot last year. Reynolds said that it has reduced the workload for humans and made service better. However, others think that robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the steps to different areas of a restaurant. “Restaurants are pretty chaotic (混乱的) places, so it is very hard to add automation (自动化) in a way that is really helpful,” said Craig Le Clair from an advising company. Still, the use of robots is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its service robot in 2021. The company expects to sell more robots by the end of this year in America and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was founded in 2016, has deployed more than 56,000 robots worldwide. 42. What tasks can robot waiters do in restaurants according to the passage? A. Take orders. B. Deliver food and drinks. C. Cook food. D. Mix drinks. 43. Why do many people think that robot waiters are helpful to worker shortages? A. Because they can deal with money problems. B Because they can provide special customer service. C. Because they can finish tasks well and reduce workload. D. Because they can certainly take the place of human workers. 44. What does Dennis Reynolds think of robot waiters? A. They will be popular in the future. B. They provide worse service than humans. C. They are not practical (实用的) in restaurant environments. D. They are too expensive for most restaurants to afford. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Robot waiters will replace humans in the future. B. Whether robot waiters are the future is uncertain. C. Robot waiters will be better than humans in the future. D. Robot waiters aren’t clever enough to be really helpful. 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. A 45.

I’d like to tell you my own stories. Once, I wanted to put in a brighter light in my bedroom. I didn’t read the instructions carefully, so I made a mistake. The whole house had a power cut. It’s very dangerous to start doing work without reading the instructions. Another time, our school had a trip to the park on foot. On the way, I was talking with my friends excitedly. We didn’t stop when the traffic lights turned red. A car nearly hit us. Luckily, the car driver stopped the car in time. Otherwise, we couldn’t imagine what would happen. We should follow the traffic rules on the way. Don’t ride too fast when it’s rainy. Always remember to walk across the zebra crossing. If we want to do DIY jobs, we should read the instructions carefully. Turn off the lights when we do something with electricity. We’d better be more careful because electricity is very dangerous.

China’s high-speed railway construction has taken a huge leap forward during the last few years. There is good news. Beijing-Haimen railway has been in use since January 2019. People in Haimen have realized the Railway Dream. Thanks to it, the travel time between major cities has been reduced to only a few hours. It also plays an important role in “Belt and Road”. Haimen will be connected with other places more closely and will be known by more people. Here is the timetable for G62 which is from Haimen to Beijing.

It’s not lucky that many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. A research shows that this can have long-term bad influences (影响) on your health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, maybe we can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings of being too afraid，disappointed and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breath (呼吸) or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 34. According to the text, which of the following about anger is true? A. Sometimes anger is a good feeling. B. It’s better to cry out when we are angry. C Few people will keep their feelings hidden. D. Anger will probably do harm to our health. 35. Which of the following is right? (X means the time you get angry, Y means the bad influence it will have.) A. A B. B C. C D. D 36. Which can help deal with the feeling of anger? a. Taking some exercise. b. Eating delicious food. c. Talking about the feelings d. Doing some controlled breathing A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. What makes you angry? B. Why are you angry? C. When to deal with anger? D. How to deal with anger? C 3-year-old Casey Hathaway who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. The boy told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said that he was with a friend—a bear. The boy went missing on 22 January while playing with friends near his grandmother’s house. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. The police formed a search team to look for the boy in the nearby woods, but two days went by and no Casey. Then on 24 January, someone called the police saying that he heard a child crying in the woods. The police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. He was in good health. The police officer Chip Hughes said that Casey did not say how he could survive (幸存) in the woods for two days in the cold, rainy weather. “However, he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear with him,” Hughes said. Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including about 600 volunteers. Doctors at the medical center gave Casey an examination. He was then sent to his family on 25 January. Casey’s mother thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. “We’re thankful you took the time out to search for Casey,” said his mother. 38. What does the underlined word “rescuers” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The people who try to save others from danger. B. The people who give examinations to patients. C. The people who take care of children at school. D. The people who look after animals in the woods. 39. Who stayed with Casey in the woods during the two days? A. The police. B. A bear. C. His mother. D. The volunteers. 40. What is the right order in which these things happen? a. Someone heard a child crying. b. The family started to look for Casey. c. Casey played with his friends. d. The police found that Casey was in good health. A. b-c-a-d B. b-c-d-a C. c-b-a-d D. c-b-d-a 41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Casey was lost in the woods for three days. B. The police found Casey on the night of 25 January. C. Casey could survive in the woods because the weather was good. D. Casey’s family were thankful to all the people who searched for Casey. D You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robot waiters. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver (派送) food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you scratch (挠) their heads. Are robot waiters the future? It is a question that the restaurant industry is trying to answer. Many people think that robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages (短缺). Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. “There is no doubt (怀疑) in my mind that this is where the world is going,” said Dennis Reynolds, head of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. The school’s restaurant began using a robot last year. Reynolds said that it has reduced the workload for humans and made service better. However, others think that robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the steps to different areas of a restaurant. “Restaurants are pretty chaotic (混乱的) places, so it is very hard to add automation (自动化) in a way that is really helpful,” said Craig Le Clair from an advising company. Still, the use of robots is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its service robot in 2021. The company expects to sell more robots by the end of this year in America and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was founded in 2016, has deployed more than 56,000 robots worldwide. 42. What tasks can robot waiters do in restaurants according to the passage? A. Take orders. B. Deliver food and drinks. C. Cook food. D. Mix drinks. 43. Why do many people think that robot waiters are helpful to worker shortages? A Because they can deal with money problems. B. Because they can provide special customer service. C. Because they can finish tasks well and reduce workload. D. Because they can certainly take the place of human workers. 44. What does Dennis Reynolds think of robot waiters? A. They will be popular in the future. B. They provide worse service than humans. C. They are not practical (实用的) in restaurant environments. D. They are too expensive for most restaurants to afford. 45 What is the main idea of the passage? A. Robot waiters will replace humans in the future. B. Whether robot waiters are the future is uncertain. C. Robot waiters will be better than humans in the future. D. Robot waiters aren’t clever enough to be really helpful. 五、课外阅读（本题共5题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据Alice in Wonderland、The Happy Prince及Holly the Eco Warrior补全文章。 请将答案写在答题纸指定位置。 A. Hans B. White Rabbit C. Holly D.
