A number of them _________ from the countryside. A．is; are B．is; is C．are; is D．are; are 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——你们学校有多少学生？——大约2000人。他们中的许多人来自农村。 考查主谓一致。“the number of+名词复数”表示“……的数量”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数，所以第一空应填is；“a number of+名词复数”表示“许多”，作主语时，谓语动词用复数，所以第二空应填are。故选A。 2．The film Upstream is ________ excellent film and I’ve never seen ________ better one before. A．a; an B．an; the C．an; a D．a; the 【答案】C 【详解】句意：电影《逆行人生》是一部优秀的电影，我以前从未看过比它更好的电影。 考查冠词用法。a一，不定冠词表泛指，其后接以辅音音素开头的单词；an一，不定冠词表泛指，其后接以元音音素开头的单词；the这，定冠词表特指。第一空指“一部优秀的电影”，表泛指，excellent以元音音素开头，所以第一空应用不定冠词an。根据“better one”可知，第二空表泛指，指“一部更好的电影”，better以辅音音素开头，所以第二空应用a。故选C。 3．When something _______ you, I will always help you, so don’t _______ it. A．worries about; worry B．worries about; worry about C．worries; worry about D．worries; worry 【答案】C 【详解】句意：当有事烦恼你的时候，我会帮你的，因此你不要担心。worry烦恼，worry  about担心---；根据主语something，所以谓语动词用单数形式，第二个空是祈使句，所以用动词原形；故选C 4．Here are clear instructions. First ________ them and then tell us how to make a fruit salad. A．look into B．look up C．look through D．look after 【答案】C 【详解】句意：这里有明确的说明。先看一看，然后告诉我们怎么做水果沙拉。 考查动词短语辨析，look into调查，观察；look up仰望，查阅；look through浏览；look after照顾。根据“first…and then…”，可知应该是先浏览说明书再告诉我们怎么做水果沙拉，故选C。 5．Everyone ________ time waits for no man, but some students still spend a playing computer games. A．seem know B．seems know C．seems to know D．seem to know 【答案】C 【详解】句意：每个人似乎都知道时不我待，但有些学生仍然花时间玩电脑游戏。 考查语法一致和非谓语动词。根据“Everyone …time waits for no man, but some students still spend a playing computer games.”可知，everyone是不定代词，其作主语时谓语动词用单数，排除AD；此处为固定短语seem to do“似乎做”，应用动词不定式，排除B。故选C。 6．Bob skates_______ than I. But he doesn’t skate________ my brother. A．better; so good as B．better; so well as C．better; as good as D．much well; as well as 【答案】B 【详解】句意：鲍勃比我滑冰滑得更好。但是他不如我哥哥滑得好。根据介词than可知此处用比较级，故用better。故排除D项。as well as和……一样好，是副词，修饰动词；as good as和……一样好，是形容词，修饰名词。此处修饰动词skate，故用副词，故用well。故排除AC两项。故选B。 7． __________ the number of the women teachers in your school? A．How many are B．What’s C．What are D．How much is 【答案】B 【详解】句意：你们学校里的女老师数是多少？ 考查特殊疑问词。how many多少，对可数名词的量提问；how much多少，对不可数名词的量提问。但对“the number of…的数量”提问习惯用疑问词what，be动词用单数is。故选B。 8．-- How hard you are working, Helen! -- We must!

I forgot it when I left yesterday. A．opened; to close B．openings; closing C．open: closing D．open; to close 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——谁让窗户开着的？——对不起。我昨天离开的时候，我忘了关它。open打开，是动词；开着的，是形容词；opened被打开；opening开幕式。leave sth+形容词，表示让某物保持某种状态。forget to do sth忘记做某事，故用动词不定式to close。故选D。 10．—________ great fun we have ________ English! —Yes. I can be ________ at it this way. A．How; to learn; good B．How; learning; well C．What; to learn; better D．What; learning; better 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——我们学英语多么有趣！是的。——是的。这样我可以做得更好。 考查感叹句，非谓语动词和形容词比较级。中心词fun是不可数名词，用what引导的感叹句结构：what+形容词+不可数名词+主谓，排除A和B选项。固定搭配：have fun doing sth“做某事很有趣”，排除C选项。答语赞同对方的观点，用这种方法比以前更好，蕴含比较之意，所以第三个空填比较级，故选D。 11．—What’s the ________ of the building?    —It’s 236 metres ________. A．high; high B．height; height C．high; height D．height; high 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——这栋楼有多高？——它有236米高。 考查名词和形容词的用法。high高的，形容词；height高度，名词。根据“the ... of the building”可知是楼房的高度，第一空用名词height；再由“It’s 236 metres ...”可知用“基数词+单位词+形容词”结构来表示高度，第二空用形容词high。故选D。 12．—Do you know New York is one of ________ in the world? —Yes. It’s bigger than ________ in China. A．the biggest cities; any city B．the biggest city; any city C．the biggest cities; any other city D．the biggest city; the other cities 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——你知道纽约是世界上最大的城市之一吗？——是的。它比中国任何城市都大。 考查形容词最高级以及比较级。one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最……之一”，故第一空应填the biggest cities，排除B和D选项。纽约和中国的其他城市不属于同一范围，所以用比较级+than+any+单数名词的用法，故选A。 13．--- Mum, I'm getting fatter and fatter.   ---You had better too many sweets. A．not eat B．not eating C．don't eat D．not to eat 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——妈妈，我变得越来越胖了。——你最好不要吃太多的糖果。had better not do sth最好不要做某事，故用not eat。故选A。 14．You can _______ two more books from the school library at a time, and you can _______ them for two weeks, but you can’t ______ them to others A．borrow; lend; keep B．lend; keep; borrow C．keep; lend; borrow D．borrow; keep; lend 【答案】D 【详解】句意：你可以一次从学校图书馆借两本书，你可以借两周时间，但不能借给别人。“从……借入”要用borrow... from，故由第1空排除答案B、C；又因为借多长时间应用延续性动词keep，lend sth. to sb. 把某物借给某人。故答案为D。 【点睛】borrow 是“借入”，lend 是“借出”，两者其实是一对反义词，而不是同义词。如： Can I borrow your bike? 我可以借用你的自行车吗? He lent his dictionary to me. 他把字典借给我。 另外，要注意他们经常和固定的介词搭配。表示“向某人或某处借某物”用borrow something from somebody or somewhere。例如： Do you often borrow books from the library? 你经常从图书馆借书吗? 表示“把某物借给某人”，用lend something to somebody。例如： You mustn't lend it to others.你一定不要把它借给别人。 需要注意的是borrow, lend都是短暂性动词，在肯定句中不能与表示一段的时间状语连用，keep是borrow的延续性形式，如果要表达“这本书我可以借多久？”只能说：How long may I keep this book? 15．— Good news! You’ve passed the driving test. — Hooray! ________, I’m really worrying about it these days. A．No way B．Sounds great C．At first D．To be honest 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——好消息！你通过了驾驶证考试。——好极了！说实话，这些天我真的担心这个。 考查情景交际。No way没门；Sounds great听起来不错；At first首先；To be honest说实话。根据“I’m really worrying about it these days.”可知，此处说出自己真实的感受，故选D。 二、完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，计15分) 阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 Alexander Graham Bell is often thought to be the father of the telephone. However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph (电报). It is not a simple thing to 16 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 17 idea. This is exactly what happened with the telephone. There has been a 18 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent (专利) for designing the telephone in 1876.

Some studies on the patent application (申请) of the telephone have made things even more 23 . Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 24 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent of the telephone on the same day. These gentlemen didn’t actually 25 the Patent Office—their lawyers (律师) did. Researchers find in records that Bell’s lawyer went to the office 26 . The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As the result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honored. 27 , many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 28 or unfair (不公正的) actions by people working at Patent Office, and 29 even by Bell himself. This long discussion is 30 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work. 16．A．think B．decide C．predict D．imagine 17．A．cool B．wonderful C．amazing D．original 18．A．discussion B．talk C．conversation D．communication 19．A．design B．idea C．product D．model 20．A．continued B．kept C．began D．stopped 21．A．risk B．success C．problem D．wisdom 22．A．missed B．forgotten C．lost D．covered 23．A．boring B．terrible C．pleasant D．interesting 24．A．professor B．engineer C．student D．architect 25．A．tell B．phone C．visit D．reach 26．A．recently B．early C．late D．last 27．A．So B．Instead C．Also D．However 28．A．dishonest B．unkind C．true D．clear 29．A．certainly B．perhaps C．impossibly D．really 30．A．even B．almost C．still D．already 【答案】 16．B 17．D 18．A 19．B 20．C 21．C 22．B 23．D 24．A 25．C 26．B 27．D 28．A 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文主要讨论了电话发明过程中涉及多位发明家的争议，尤其是围绕亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔、伊莱沙·格雷和安东尼奥·梅乌奇的贡献与专利的纷争，以及该争议的复杂性和不公正的可能性。 16．句意：要决定谁是某个物品之“父”，并不是一件简单的事情。 think思考；decide决定；predict预告；imagine想象。根据“who is the ‘father’ of something”可知，决定谁是某个物品之父，并非易事。故选B。 17．句意：发明之父的称号经常归于工作最出色的科学家，而不是最先有这个想法的人。 cool很酷的；wonderful精彩的；amazing令人赞叹的；orginal原始的。根据“who is the ‘father’ of something”可知，此处是指第一个有想法的人。故选D。 18．句意：关于谁真正发明了电话，一直存在争论。 discussion讨论；talk谈话；conversation对话；communication交流。根据下文“This long discussion is...not coming to its end.”可知，电话的发明者一直存在争论。故选A。 19．句意：他是第一个获得专利的人，但他并不是第一个想到电话这个想法的人。 design设计；idea想法；product产品；model模型。根据下文“Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist...building a talking telegraph in 1849.”可知，此处指比尔并不是第一个想到电话这个想法的人。故选B。 20．句意：意大利科学家安东尼奥·梅乌奇于1849年开始制造会说话的电报。 continued继续；kept保持；began开始；stopped停止。根据“…building a talking telegraph in 1849.

Some climb the highest mountains and others travel to different parts of the world. I would think bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. Bungee jumping is not a new activity. It appeared (出现) hundreds of years ago. The men tie (绑) long vines (藤) from plants around their ankles (踝关节). They spend days building tall towers out of vines and logs (原木). Then they jump off them. In their old story, a woman tried bungee jumping first. She decided to run away from her rude husband (丈夫). So she climbed up a tall tree and tied some vines around her feet. Her husband also climbed up the tree and tried to catch her. The woman jumped and the man followed. The vines saved her life, but her husband died. However, bungee jumping becomes much safer nowadays. You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that over 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Why do people take part in such activities as these nowadays? Some scientists think that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. In the past, people had to go out and hunt for food. They didn’t have a doctor if they were ill, and life was harder for them. Nowadays, people live and work safely. They buy food in shops. And there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. Then some people take part in such activities like bungee jumping. It is important to remember that this sport is not suitable (合适的) for everyone. And remember, if you do not want to do it yourself, you can watch other people jump. 42．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to (指) ________ ? A．vines B．towers C．logs D．ankles 43．What can we learn about bungee jumping? A．Bungee jumping is a good sport for everyone nowadays. B．People can jump as high as they can when they try bungee jumping. C．The longer the elastic rope is, the safer people will be in bungee jumping. D．People won’t hit the ground with the help of the elastic rope in bungee jumping. 44．Why do people take part in bungee jumping nowadays? A．Because they live and work safely. B．Because they think life is exciting. C．Because they worry about being ill. D．Because they feel bored with life. 45．What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To tell an old story of bungee jumping. B．To let people know about bungee jumping. C．To ask more people to try bungee jumping. D．To tell why people take part in bungee jumping. 【答案】42．B 43．D 44．A 45．B 【导语】本文介绍了蹦极的起源、如今人们参加蹦极的原因及作者的看法等。 42．推理判断题。根据“They spend days building tall towers out of vines and logs (原木). Then they jump off them.”可知，他们花几天时间用藤蔓和原木建造高塔。然后他们从高塔上跳下来。故them指的是towers。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据“You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your feet.

They buy food in shops. And there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. Then some people take part in such activities like bungee junking.”可知，现在人们参加蹦极是因为如今人们安全地生活和工作，即使是生病了，也会有医生照顾。故选A。 45．推理判断题。通读全文可知本文介绍了蹦极的起源、如今人们参加蹦极的原因及作者的看法等。所以应是想让人们了解蹦极。故选B。 四、词汇运用(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。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46．The Internet (提供) special ways of communication in our daily life. 【答案】offers 【详解】句意：互联网在我们的日常生活中提供了特殊的交流方式。根据中文提示，此处用动词offer“提供”；根据句意可知，时态是一般现在时，主语是“The Internet”，动词用三单，故填offers。 47．—What do you think of the (戏剧) on TV.     —They are much too amazing. 【答案】dramas/plays 【详解】句意：——你觉得电视上的戏剧怎么样？——它们太神奇了。根据汉语提示可知，drama/play意为“戏剧”，均为可数名词；结合下文“They are much too amazing.”可知，they指代上一句的“戏剧”，应用复数形式dramas/plays，作宾语。故填dramas/plays。 48．Which one do you think is the (丑陋的) of the two paintings? 【答案】uglier 【详解】句意：你认为这两幅画中哪一幅更丑陋？这里考查形容词比较级。“the+比较级+of the two...”表示“两者中较……的那个” ，“丑陋的”是ugly，其比较级是uglier，在句中作表语，用来描述paintings的特征。因为是在两幅画中进行比较，所以要用比较级形式。故填uglier。 49．Friends are important to everyone.

However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph (电报). It is not a simple thing to 16 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 17 idea. This is exactly what happened with the telephone. There has been a 18 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent (专利) for designing the telephone in 1876. He was the first to get the patent but he was not the first to think of the 19 of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist, 20 building a talking telegraph in 1849. In 1871, he got an official document that could prove he designed the machine. In later years, because of some 21 , Meucci couldn’t get a new document. His name in the history of the telephone was then 22 until his work was honored (被授予表彰) again on June 11, 2002. Some studies on the patent application (申请) of the telephone have made things even more 23 . Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 24 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent of the telephone on the same day. These gentlemen didn’t actually 25 the Patent Office—their lawyers (律师) did. Researchers find in records that Bell’s lawyer went to the office 26 . The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As the result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honored. 27 , many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 28 or unfair (不公正的) actions by people working at Patent Office, and 29 even by Bell himself. This long discussion is 30 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work. 16．A．think B．decide C．predict D．imagine 17．A．cool B．wonderful C．amazing D．original 18．A．discussion B．talk C．conversation D．communication 19．A．design B．idea C．product D．model 20．A．continued B．kept C．began D．stopped 21．A．risk B．success C．problem D．wisdom 22．A．missed B．forgotten C．lost D．covered 23．A．boring B．terrible C．pleasant D．interesting 24．A．professor B．engineer C．student D．architect 25．A．tell B．phone C．visit D．reach 26．A．recently B．early C．late D．last 27．A．So B．Instead C．Also D．However 28．A．dishonest B．unkind C．true D．clear 29．A．certainly B．perhaps C．impossibly D．really 30．A．even B．almost C．still D．already 三、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，计30分) 阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A Wanted Learn to speak Chinese, a 15-minute program on CCTV-9, is looking for a part-time TV host. The program is designed not only to encourage people to learn Chinese, but also to report to them about China’s culture, sightseeing (观光) and sports.

A．telephone them B．send them an e-mail C．write a letter to them D．go to visit them B A 99-year-old woman and a high school student have developed a wonderful friendship through a program. The program connects the elderly with young people. Myrtle, 99, joined the local program when feeling lonely during the period of COVID-19. She was paired with 17-year-old Jaelyn because they shared the same interest-nursing. ①For Jaelyn, the time spent with the elderly can be used as volunteer hours that she needs for graduation. When the two met for the first time, they both felt surprised. “I just found her more interesting and less in a hurry than I had expected,” Myrtle said. ②Jaelyn loved talking to the old lady because her stories as a nurse were inspiring. These stories changed Jaelyn’s opinions on her own future. According to the program, they are supposed to talk for 30 minutes each week, but they always talk with each other for over an hour per week. Gradually, they become good friends. Although they know each other through a program, they will keep in touch when the program ends. 34．Myrtle joined the program because of her ________.

Insects (昆虫) can live in the walls of the classrooms. If you could design your ideal school, what would it look like? What would you have in it? Well, children at the Reggio School in Madrid, Spain, were happy. They could make their dream school turn into a real one. The designer, Andrés Jaque had the idea to build such a school. At first, he talked to many teachers and students about his ideas. Then he began building the school. The parents wanted things that could rich the children’s imagination (想象力). They hoped that the things could help with their children’s learning. They also wanted their children to show interest in something. Interest is the best teacher. The children hoped for things such as gardens or a school with no walls. Now, have a look at the new school. The walls are home to some insects. Staying in some of the classrooms, you can see gardens. People can’t go to the gardens. They hope that birds and other animals can use the gardens and not be troubled (打扰). On the fifth and sixth floor, classrooms are around a small indoor forest. Some small animals live in it. What do you think of this school? Would you like to learn in such an eye-catching school? 38．Why does the writer ask the questions in paragraph 1? A．To introduce his own school to you. B．To know what your ideal school is like. C．To tell you to design your own ideal school. D．To make you interested in the school in his article. 39．Who built the special school? A．A teacher. B．A student. C．A designer.

B．What people can do. C．Where the rainforest is. D．How the animals live. D More and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities around the world now. Some climb the highest mountains and others travel to different parts of the world. I would think bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. Bungee jumping is not a new activity. It appeared (出现) hundreds of years ago. The men tie (绑) long vines (藤) from plants around their ankles (踝关节). They spend days building tall towers out of vines and logs (原木). Then they jump off them. In their old story, a woman tried bungee jumping first. She decided to run away from her rude husband (丈夫). So she climbed up a tall tree and tied some vines around her feet.
