A．the; / B．a; a C．the; the D．a; / 【答案】D 【详解】句意：像他这样的人怎么能被推荐为我们医院的负责人呢？ 考查冠词的用法。a一个，不定冠词，表泛指；the这个，定冠词，表特指。第一空，根据“man like him”可知，是像他这样的一个人，表泛指，故应用不定冠词a；第二空，根据“head of our hospital”可知，是我们医院的负责人，表示独一无二的头衔、职位的名词，其前不加冠词。故选D。 2．Read this article, ________ you will understand that not everything can be bought with money.

A．whether he will B．whether will he C．that he will D．that will he 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——你觉得Jack有能力赢得这场赛跑吗？——我从不怀疑他会赢得比赛。 考查宾语从句。宾语从句的语序为陈述句，选项B和D是疑问语序，排除选项B和D，再根据“I never doubt...win the race.”可知，我从不怀疑他会赢，此处用that引导宾语从句符合语境。故选C。 4．—Why could you write so well? —I read a lot, and the works of Ernest Hemingway had a strong ________ on me as a child. A．attention B．explanation C．situation D．influence 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——为什么你写作如此好？——我读了很多东西，小时候欧内斯特·海明威的作品对我影响很大。 考查名词。attention注意力；explanation解释，说明；situation情况；influence影响。句子用短语“have a strong influence on sb.”表达“对某人有巨大的影响”。故选D。 5．Young people ________ city life to country life while old people ________ live in the country.

A．isn’t connecting B．doesn’t connect C．isn’t connected D．hasn’t connected 【答案】C 【详解】句意：如果键盘没有正确地连接到电脑上，它就不能工作。 考查一般现在时的被动语态。根据主语“the keyboard”和谓语动词“connect”可知，两者之间是被动关系，且此处是if引导的条件状语从句，满足“主将从现”，从句时态用一般现在时，因此此处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数keyboard，结构为is done，否定结构为：isn’t done。故选C。 8．Could you tell me ________ a meeting in Guangzhou next week? A．if there was going to be B．if there is going to be C．whether is there going to be D．whether there is going to have 【答案】B 【详解】句意：你能告诉我下周广州是否有一个会议吗？ 考查宾语从句。根据宾语从句遵循陈述语序，排除C，“could you tell me”表委婉语气，“next week”是一般将来时的标志词，排除A，there be句型表示“有”，there be的一般将来时构成：there is/are going to be，排除D，故选B。 9．Traffic rules should be traffic accidents. A．paid attention to avoid B．paid attention to to avoid C．paid attention to avoiding D．paid attention to to avoiding 【答案】B 【详解】句意：应该注意交通规则，避免交通事故。根据句子结构判断，此句是含有情态动词的被动语态，其构成为should be+及物动词的过去分词，pay attention to注意，被动语态的主语是pay attention to的承受者，动词不定式用作目的状语，故答案为B。 10．—I love the Internet. I’ve come to know many friends on the net. —________. Few of them would become your real friends. A．I can’t agree more B．I’m pleased to know that C．That’s for sure D．That’s not the case 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——我爱上网。我在网络上认识了很多朋友。——事实并非如此。很少有人会成为你真正的朋友。 本题考查情景交际。I can’t agree more.非常赞同；I’m pleased to know that.我很高兴知道这一点；That’s for sure.那是肯定的；That’s not the case.事实并非如此。根据“Few of them would become your real friends.”可知他并不赞同“I’ve come to know many friends on the net.”这个观点。故选D。 二、完形填空 （本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Shyness once took over my life.

It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions(情绪). But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders. These bad emotions don’ t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself — is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them? By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’ t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well. There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ ll be much happier with your life. 29．What is the first step to removing the burden of bad emotions? A．Asking others some questions. B．Studying your emotions. C．Trying to live without them. D．Finding ways to deal with them. 30．What is one way to deal with bad emotions? A．Keeping bad emotions inside. B．Forgetting the past. C．Forgiving ourselves and others. D．Finding good emotions to replace them. 31．What does the underlined word “abandon” in the last paragraph mean? A．put away B．carry on C．stay with D．leave behind 32．What is the story mainly about? A．How to become an energetic person. B．How to deal with bad emotions. C．Why we should forget about forgiveness. D．What we should do to forgive our own mistakes. 【答案】29．B 30．C 31．D 32．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲摆脱坏情绪很重要，通过原谅自己和他人能让我们活得更开心。 29．细节理解题。根据“Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?”可知从观察自己的感受开始，为什么总摆脱不了坏情绪，所以消除坏情绪负担第一步是研究情绪。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据“One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅) . ”可知原谅是一个摆脱坏情绪的方式之一。故选C。 31．词句猜测题。根据“By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves.”可知通过原谅自己和他人，我们感觉更好了，可推测我们的负担没有了；结合选项，put away收好，整理好；carry on继续，坚持；stay with和……待在一起；leave behind把……抛在后面，选项D符合语境。故选D。 32．主旨大意题。通读本文可知，本文主要讲坏情绪的负面影响及通过原谅自己和他人摆脱坏情绪并开心地活着，因此B项“如何处理坏情绪”符合文章大意。故选B。 C China’s rising shooting star Huang Yuting got both the individual (个人) and team golds in the women’s 10m air rifle (气枪) at Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023.

Mars is also known as the “Red Planet”, because it’s red! It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun. Data collected by the Zhurong rover, which landed on Mars in 2021, shows the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north-west. This caused the crescent-shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet. Scientists analyzed (分析) the wind direction by studying the surface structure of Mars. The ridges were once discovered by spacecraft in the orbit of Mars but it was never clear what caused their formation. The Zhurong ro ver went into sleeping mode in May 2022 and was meant to start operations in December 2022 but has been out of action since, most likely because it is covered in dust. It was the first Chinese rover to land on Mars. China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong ro ver to the earth. Tianwen-1 entered Mars’s orbit on February 10, 2021. “The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time,” said Li Chunlai, a scientist of the study. Mars is the most similar planet to the earth in the solar system, so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets. 37．It’s very cold on Mars because ________. A．it’s a red planet B．it’s far from the sun C．it’s smaller than the earth D．it’s over 40000 years old 38．Which picture shows a “ridge” to us? A． B． C． D． 39．Scientists directly got the data on Mars from ________. A．the Zhurong rover B．the Tianwen-1 orbiter C．the Tiangong space station D．the satellite around the earth 40．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ hard work. B．The climate evolution of Mars. C．The importance of the research. D．The history of the earth and other planets. 【答案】37．B 38．C 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了在火星表面的中国祝融号火星车一直在研究大约40万年前火星的气候变化。 37．细节理解题。根据“It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun.”可知火星上的温度可能会非常低，比我们自己的星球冷得多，因为它离太阳更远。故选B。 38．推理判断题。根据“the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north- west. This caused the crescent- shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet.”可知风向从东北到西北变化了70℃，这导致了上一次冰川时期形成的新月形沙丘变成了又长又黑的山脊，脊是两个斜面相交的凸起线，结合常识可知，选项A是山谷，选项C是山脊。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong rover to the earth”可知中国还将天问一号环绕火星运行，将祝融号探测器收集的数据送入地球。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。根据“The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time”以及结合“ so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets”可知最后一段介绍了这个研究的重要性。故选C。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? 41 Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 42 All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while RusseH, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 43 Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. 44 Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of point s and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. 45 Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. A．The angriest shape is the triangle. B．These shapes show the characters’ personalities.

For example, Emma loves the colour indigo while Emily loves the colour violet. Emma doesn’t like to talk much while Emily often makes 47 (speak) in front of her class. Emma likes studying at night while Emily would rather 48 (do) it in the morning. So the twins argue (争论) about lots of things. Yesterday they ordered a meal in a restaurant. Emma liked spicy food while Emily 49 (prefer) sweet food. Here is another real case. When Emma said 50 (wake) up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued, “The air in the morning can always cheer me up. On the contrary (正相反), I think it’s difficult to stay up late when you feel so 51 (sleep) !” In the end, their parents made a 52 (decide) to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could both be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的). That day, their father asked Emma to stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each 53 (other) side. Their father asked, “What colour is the board, girls?” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They became 54 (patient) and started arguing again. The father asked them to change places. They were both quite surprised to find that the board on Emma’s side was painted black and on Emily’s side was painted white. They were both correct.

D．The importance of self-belief. B We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we can not have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions(情绪). But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders. These bad emotions don’ t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself — is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them? By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’ t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well. There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ ll be much happier with your life. 29．What is the first step to removing the burden of bad emotions? A．Asking others some questions. B．Studying your emotions. C．Trying to live without them. D．Finding ways to deal with them. 30．What is one way to deal with bad emotions? A．Keeping bad emotions inside. B．Forgetting the past. C．Forgiving ourselves and others. D．Finding good emotions to replace them. 31．What does the underlined word “abandon” in the last paragraph mean? A．put away B．carry on C．stay with D．leave behind 32．What is the story mainly about? A．How to become an energetic person. B．How to deal with bad emotions. C．Why we should forget about forgiveness. D．What we should do to forgive our own mistakes.

D Chinese Zhurong rover on the surface of Mars has been doing research into how the planet changed in climate about 400,000 years ago. Mars is also known as the “Red Planet”, because it’s red! It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun. Data collected by the Zhurong rover, which landed on Mars in 2021, shows the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north-west. This caused the crescent-shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet. Scientists analyzed (分析) the wind direction by studying the surface structure of Mars. The ridges were once discovered by spacecraft in the orbit of Mars but it was never clear what caused their formation. The Zhurong ro ver went into sleeping mode in May 2022 and was meant to start operations in December 2022 but has been out of action since, most likely because it is covered in dust. It was the first Chinese rover to land on Mars. China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong ro ver to the earth. Tianwen-1 entered Mars’s orbit on February 10, 2021. “The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time,” said Li Chunlai, a scientist of the study. Mars is the most similar planet to the earth in the solar system, so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets. 37．It’s very cold on Mars because ________. A．it’s a red planet B．it’s far from the sun C．it’s smaller than the earth D．it’s over 40000 years old 38．Which picture shows a “ridge” to us? A． B． C． D． 39．Scientists directly got the data on Mars from ________. A．the Zhurong rover B．the Tianwen-1 orbiter C．the Tiangong space station D．the satellite around the earth 40．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ hard work. B．The climate evolution of Mars. C．The importance of the research. D．The history of the earth and other planets. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? 41 Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 42 All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while RusseH, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 43 Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. 44 Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of point s and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. 45 Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. A．The angriest shape is the triangle. B．These shapes show the characters’ personalities. C．In this way, these shapes can help make films better. D．In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. E．We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces... F．Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 第Ⅱ卷共26小题，请将答案按要求写在答题卡上。 四、词汇运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式或时态，使短文通顺连贯。 Emma and Emily are twins.
