Now more and more countries can see that China aims to build ________ community with ________ shared future for mankind. A. a; a B. the; a C. the; the 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在，越来越多的国家都能看到，中国致力于构建人类命运共同体。 考查冠词辨析。a一个，不定冠词，表示泛指，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；the这个，定冠词，表示特指。“community”（共同体）是可数名词单数，此处表示 “一个共同体”，是泛指概念，因此第一空填“a”；“shared future”（共同的未来）中，“future” 是可数名词单数，此处表示 “一种共同的未来”，同样是泛指概念，强调 “共同未来” 这一类型，因此第二空也填“a”。故选A。 2. —Quan Hongchan made the whole sports world remember her name. Everyone said that she was born an athlete. —In fact, ________ was born good at all excellent things without enough practice. A. everybody B. somebody C. nobody D. anybody 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——全红婵让整个体育界都记住了她的名字。每个人都说她天生就是个运动员。——事实上，没有谁不经过足够的训练就能天生擅长所有出色的事情。 考查不定代词。everybody每个人；somebody某人；nobody没有人；anybody任何人。根据“...was born good at all things excellent without enough practice.”可知，此处表示没有谁不经过足够训练就能擅长所有出色的事情，nobody符合语义和语境。故选C。 3. As the young, we ________ take on too many challenges. The more challenges we take on, the stronger we will be. A. can’t B. shouldn’t C. mustn’t D. needn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：作为年轻人，我们承担再多挑战也不为过。挑战越多，我们越强大。 考查情态动词。can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t禁止；needn’t不需要。根据“The more challenges we take on, the stronger we will be”可知，挑战越多，成长越快，体现了积极含义。因此，空格处需要填入能表达“鼓励多承担挑战”的词。“cannot...too”表示“无论怎样……也不为过”或“越……越好”符合语境。故选A。 4. 一He seems terribly ill. I'm afraid we have to take him to hospital right now. 一I don't think it . Maybe he's caught a bit of a cold. A. works B. matters C. cares D. minds 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他似乎病得非常严重。恐怕我们必须马上带他去医院。——我认为这不重要。可能他有点感冒。works起作用；matters当名词讲时，意为“问题”；当动词讲时，意为“重要,要紧”；care关心；minds介意。根据Maybe he's caught a bit of a cold.可知我认为他只是有点感冒，因此不是很要紧。故选B。 5. Lu Hong, who has an intellectual disability, said he ________ more jobs to help disabled people in the future. A. will provide B. has provided C. would provide D. provided 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：有智力残疾的卢宏说，为了帮助残疾人他将在未来提供更多的工作。 考查过去将来时。句子含宾语从句，根据其主句谓语动词said可知，从句应用过去的相应时态，由“in the future”可知此处时态应用过去将来时，其谓语结构为“would+do”，故选C。 6. I found ________ difficult to tell who performed better yesterday. You were both winners at last. A. this B. that C. it D. it’s 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我发现很难说谁昨天表现更好。你们最终都是赢家。 考查形式宾语it的用法。根据“I found...difficult...”可知，本句考查句型“find it + 形容词 + to do sth.”中，表示“发现做某事……”，其中it作形式宾语，指代后面的不定式短语to tell who performed better yesterday，故选C。 7. Daniel has such poor eyesight that he is ________ blind without glasses. A. as good as B. as far as C. as well as D. as much as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：丹尼尔视力很差，不戴眼镜的话他几乎和盲人一样。 考查短语辨析。as good as几乎，差不多；as far as就……而言；as well as也，和……一样好；as much as和……一样多。根据“Daniel has such poor eyesight”可知，丹尼尔视力很差，不戴眼镜几乎和盲人一样，“as good as”符合语境。故选A。 8 —When shall we go and visit the Palace Museum? —________ this weekend ________ next Sunday is OK. Let’s make it next Saturday, shall we? A. Either; or B. Neither; nor C. Not only; but also D. Both; and 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们什么时候去参观故宫博物院呢？——这周末和下个星期天都不行。我们定在下个星期六吧，好吗？ 考查连词辨析。Either...or要么……要么……，强调两者中选择其一；Neither...nor既不……也不……，强调两者都不；Not only...but also不仅……而且……，强调后者，连接并列成分；Both...and两者都。根据答句中的“Let’s make it next Saturday, shall we?”可知，这周末和下个星期天都不行。故选B。 9. Don’t be afraid of the problems we meet in our lives. All of them can be ________ with our wisdom and patience. A. handed out B. put out C. found out D. worked out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要害怕我们在生活中遇到的问题。所有这些都可以用我们的智慧和耐心来解决。 考查动词短语。handed out分发；put out扑灭；found out查明；worked out解决。根据“Don’t be afraid of the problems we meet in our lives. All of them can be...with our wisdom and patience”可知用智慧和耐心可以解决生活中遇到的问题。故选D。 10. —Do you know if we ________ for Linyi, Shandong Province tomorrow? —I’m not sure. I will tell you about it if the time ________. A. leave; is fixed B. leave; will be fixed C. will leave; will be fixed D. will leave; is fixed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道我们明天是否去山东省临沂市吗？——我不确定。如果时间确定的话，我会告诉你。 考查if的用法。leave一般现在时，主动；is fixed一般现在时，被动；will be fixed一般将来时，被动；will leave一般将来时，主动。根据“Do you know if we”可知，if引导宾语从句，当主句是一般现在时，从句应该根据实际情况来定，tomorrow为明天，谓语动词用一般将来时，所以第一个空填leave的一般将来时结构will leave，排除A和B选项。根据“I will tell you about it if the time”可知，if引导条件状语从句，当主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，主语time和fix之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为is done或are done，主语是不可数名词time，所以用单数结构is fixed。故选D。 11. ________ I have to make a speech, I get terribly nervous before I start. A. Whatever B. Whenever C. However D. Whoever 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：每当我必须做演讲时，在开始前我都会非常紧张。 考查连词辨析。Whatever无论什么；Whenever无论何时；However无论怎样；Whoever无论是谁。根据“...I have to make a speech, I get terribly nervous before I start.”可知，此处指无论何时要做演讲，开始前都会紧张，Whenever符合语境。故选B。 12. The problem is so serious that all of us agree it’s worth ________ as soon as possible. A. being dealt with B. being dealt C. dealing with D. dealing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：问题如此严重，我们所有人都认为它值得尽快处理。 考查动词短语搭配和语态。being dealt with被处理；being dealt被处理；dealing with处理；dealing处理。根据“it’s worth”可知，此处用be worth doing来表示“值得做某事”，用主动表被动，排除A和B选项；又因为deal with表示“处理”的意思，with不能省略，其后接宾语，排除D选项。故选C。 13. There are always things ________ our will(意愿). However, we have no excuse to give up. A. towards B. through C. against D. under 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：总有违背我们意愿的事情。然而，我们没有理由放弃。 考查介词辨析。towards朝向；through通过；against违背，反对；under在下面。根据“However, we have no excuse to give up.”可知，虽然总是有太多事情违背我们的意愿，但是我们没有放弃的借口。故选C。 14. —Are there any questions about the TV show Romance on the Farm (《田耕纪》)? —Yes, I want to know ________ in the next episode (集). A. when will the actress go camping with the actor B. who will the actress go camping with C. if the actress will go camping with the actor D. that the actress will go camping with the actor 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你对电视剧《田耕纪》有什么问题吗？——是的，我想知道下一集女演员是否将和男演员一起去露营。 考查宾语从句。when will the actress go camping with the actor女演员将什么时候和男演员去露营；who will the actress go camping with女演员将和谁去露营；if the actress will go camping with the actor女演员是否将和男演员去露营；that the actress will go camping with the actor女演员将和男演员去露营。根据“know”可知，know后接宾语从句，宾语从句应用陈述句语序，排除A和B选项；再根据“I want to know”可知，此处表示想知道的是下一集女演员是否将和男演员一起去露营，用if引导宾语从句。故选C。 15. —I am afraid I have to give up my dream of being a singer. — . No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small. A. Don’t lose heart B. Don’t mention it C. That’s unusual D. You must be joking 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——恐怕我要放弃成为歌手的梦想了。——不要灰心，梦想再大也不嫌大，追梦的人再小也不嫌小。 考查情景交际。Don’t lose heart不要灰心；Don’t mention it别提了；That’s unusual那是不寻常的；You must be joking你一定在开玩笑吧。根据答句中No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small.可知是在鼓励对方，用Don’t lose heart符合语境。故选A。 三、完形填空： 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) Twenty years ago, our teacher taught us the last lesson we’ve never forgotten.

After a few moments, she answered, “In fact, the weight of this glass of water is not important. It all depends on ____19____ I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s quite light. If I hold it for an hour, I might feel really ____20____. If I hold it for a day, my ____21____ will be unable to stand it, making me drop the glass to the floor. The weight of the glass of water doesn’t ____22____ but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.” As most of us agreed, she said, “Our worries and problems are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a little while and ____23____ happens. Think about them a bit ____24____ and you begin to feel bad. Think about them all day long, and you will feel you are weak.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了老师通过举起一杯水，向学生解释了忧虑和问题对人的影响，即忧虑和问题本身不会改变，但思考它们的时间越长，人就会感觉越沉重，直到无法承受。 【16题详解】 句意：当她举起一杯水举过头顶时，每个人都以为她会谈论常见的“杯子半空或杯子半满”的课程。 milk牛奶；water水；tea茶；coffee咖啡。根据下文“How ... is this glass of water I’m holding?”可知，老师举起的是一杯水。故选B。 【17题详解】 句意：然而，她面带微笑地问：“我拿的这杯水有多重？” So所以；And和；Moreover而且；However然而。根据上文“everyone thought she would talk about the common ‘glass half empty or glass half full’ lesson”和下文“with a smile on her face, our teacher asked, ‘How ... is this glass of water I’m holding?’”可知，前后句是转折关系，故用however。故选D。 【18题详解】 句意：然而，她微笑着问：“我拿的这杯水有多重？” special特别的；useful有用的；heavy重的；clear清楚的。根据下文“All of us felt surprised and answers were from one ounce (about 28克) to a few pounds (磅).”可知，老师问的是这杯水的重量。故选C。 【19题详解】 句意：这完全取决于我拿着它多长时间。 how often多久一次；how soon多久；how much多少；how long多长时间。根据下文“If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s quite light. If I hold it for an hour, I might feel really ... If I hold it for a day, my ... will be unable to stand it, making me drop the glass to the floor.”可知，老师在说拿着这杯水的时间长短对人的影响，因此此处是说这取决于拿着它的时间。故选D。 【20题详解】 句意：如果我拿着它一个小时，我可能会感到很累。 happy高兴的；worried担心的；sad伤心的；tired疲倦的。根据上文“If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s quite light.”和下文“If I hold it for a day, my ... will be unable to stand it, making me drop the glass to the floor.”可知，拿着这杯水的时间越长，人就会感觉越累，此处是拿着它一个小时的情况，因此是“疲倦的”。故选D。 【21题详解】 句意：如果我拿着它一天，我的胳膊会受不了，让我把杯子掉到地上。 leg腿；arm胳膊；head头；foot脚。根据上文“As she held up a glass of ... over her head”和常识可知，举着杯子要用胳膊，因此此处是说胳膊会受不了。故选B。 【22题详解】 句意：这杯水的重量没有改变，但我拿着它的时间越长，我就感觉它越重。 leave离开；reach到达；change改变；share分享。根据下文“but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me”可知，此处是说水的重量没有改变，但感觉变了。故选C。 【23题详解】 句意：想一会儿，什么也不会发生。 nothing没有什么；anything任何事情；everything每件事情。一切；something一些事情。根据下文“Think about them a bit ... and you begin to feel bad.”可知，此处是与下文形成对比，即想一会儿忧虑和问题，什么也不会发生，但想的时间长一点，就会开始感觉不好。故选A。 【24题详解】 句意：多想一会儿，你就会开始感觉不好。 faster更快地；longer更长地；harder更努力地；slower更慢地。根据上文“Think about them for a little while and ... happens.”和下文“you begin to feel bad”可知，此处是与上文形成对比，即想一会儿忧虑和问题，什么也不会发生，但想的时间长一点，就会开始感觉不好。故选B。 【25题详解】 句意：在你放下它们之前，你什么也做不了。 have有；break打破；drop放下；cover覆盖。根据上文“Think about them all day long, and you will feel you are weak.”和常识可知，一直想着忧虑和问题，就会感觉虚弱，无法做其他事情，直到放下它们。故选C。 四、阅读理解： 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(本大题共16小题，每小题2分，共32分) (A) Avoid Giving Certain Flowers in Russia. Be careful when giving flowers to your friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow flowers mean trick or a relationship break-up. No red carnation (康乃馨), too. Traditionally, red carnations have something to do with death. Don’t Show up on Time in Venezuela. In Venezuela if you are invited over to someone’s home for a meal, it’s suggested that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes later than the planned time: Being early or on time is viewed as being rude there. Always Use a Knife and Fork in Norway. In Norway, table manners are extremely important. Most meals, including sandwiches, are eaten using knives and forks. 26. In Russia, if you want to send your business partner flowers, which colour should be avoided? A. Yellow. B. Blue. C. Pink. D. White. 27.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“避免在俄罗斯赠送某些鲜花”、“不要在委内瑞拉准时出现”和“在挪威总是使用刀叉”这三个外国社交礼仪。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Yellow flowers mean a trick or a relationship break-up.”可知，黄色的花朵意味着恶作剧或关系破裂，故推出在俄罗斯，不能送黄颜色的花给生意伙伴。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Venezuela if you are invited over to someone’s home for a meal, it’s suggested that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes later than the planned time.”可知，在委内瑞拉，如果你被邀请到别人家吃饭，建议你比计划时间晚10到15分钟到达。所以如果朋友邀请你在下午5点去她家，你最好在5:10到5:15的时候到达。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Norway, table manners are extremely important.”可知，在挪威，餐桌礼仪极其重要。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Avoid Giving Certain Flowers in Russia”；“Don’t Show up on Time in Venezuela”和“Always Use a Knife and Fork in Norway.”可知，文章介绍了“避免在俄罗斯赠送某些鲜花”、“不要在委内瑞拉准时出现”和“在挪威总是使用刀叉”这三个外国社交礼仪。因此这篇文章很有可能来自杂志的文化栏目。故选B。 (B) It was a long drive to the nursing home where my grandma lived. But at least twice a month I drove the car with my small children to see her. Nana was an old lady who had Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病). It started to eat away at her memories. Sometimes she knew us when we visited her but sometimes she didn’t. One day, we visited Nana and kissed her goodbye. Then we were about to leave when suddenly a small hand grabbed mine. “James!” a happy voice said. I turned back and saw a face with snow-white hair. It was an old lady hit by that disease like Nana at that time. She mistook me for son. A nurse told me that her son had died years before. I held her hands and let her joy go on. Even though she didn’t know who I was, I could see the sparkle (闪光) in her eyes when she spoke to her son through me. Ever since that visit, I always volunteered time to visit her as well as my Nana. The nurses told me that she was always calmer and happier after seeing her “son”. Then one day I noticed that she wasn’t there. I asked the nurses and they sadly told me that she had died a few days before. In a moment I realized that I really had been her son for a while. In this world we are all family and we are all connected by love. Even now or many years later, I feel lucky to be there for her in the last days of her life. 30. What happens to people who have Alzheimer’s disease? A. They can’t control their feelings easily. B. They don’t like to stay with many people. C. They are hard to get along with (相处). D.

Take every chance to show your kindness to others and share love. 【答案】30. D 31. C 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在探望患有阿尔茨海默病的祖母时，遇到另一位同样患病的老人误将作者认作儿子的故事。作者通过陪伴这位老人，展现了爱与关怀的力量。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It started to eat away at her memories.”可知，阿尔茨海默病会逐渐侵蚀患者的记忆。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was an old lady hit by that disease like Nana at that time. She mistook me for her son.”和“A nurse told me that her son had died years before.”可知，James是这位老人已故的儿子。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Then we were about to leave”和“a small hand”可知，是一只手握住了自己的手，因此“grabbed”意为“握住”。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“In this world we are all family and we are all connected by love.”可知，作者想传达的是抓住机会向他人表达善意并分享爱。故选D。 (C) One pipe (烟斗) in Mr. Dow’s store caught Joey’s eye. He imagined some day he would be a grown man and could smoke a pipe, just like this one. He looked around. Nobody was looking. He put the pipe in his hand. He just wanted to get the feel of it. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around quickly. It was Mr. Dow, the store owner. “Hello, Joey,” Mr. Dow said. Joey struggled (挣扎) to answer but only smiled weakly as Mr. Dow walked away. Did Mr. Dow see the pipe in his hand? Joey’s thoughts became unclear. He watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store. Wandering (徘徊) in the street, he felt something against his stomach. He knew it was the pipe. He had walked out of the store with it. He pulled the pipe out of his pocket. Joey wondered if Mr. Dow had called the police. Perhaps the police were waiting for him at home. He could say he did not take the pipe. No one had seen him do it. Still he himself would know that he did. Then, it was time to go home. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. He remembered the way she said, “You are a little man now, Joey.” Thinking of it made him sad. “She trusted me,” he kept saying to himself. The pipe and his dreams of growing up meant nothing. He knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he reached the store, Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joey’s feet felt heavy. Suddenly, he held out the pipe. “Mr. Dow,” he said, “I didn’t mean to take it.” “Thanks, Joey.” Mr. Dow said gently. “How about staying around and helping me close up shop?” Joey felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joey felt his shoulders had become a little adder and stronger. 34. What can we know about Joey? A. He lived alone. B. He smoked a lot. C. He always lied. D. He stole the pipe. 35. What made Joey go back to the store? A. His mother’s trust in him. B. Mr. Dow’s warm smile. C. The fear of being arrested. D. The pain in his stomach. 36. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. The size of Joey’s shoulder became larger. B. Mr. Dow made Joey think of his father. C. Joey wished to grow stronger quickly. D. The experience made him grow up. 37. Which can best describe Joey? A. Creative and loyal. B. Caring but forgetful. C. Honest and brave. D. Careless but modest. 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. D 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，乔伊和母亲过着拮据的生活，他们镇上的道先生开着一间烟斗店，乔伊趁其不备，偷出了一根烟斗，在内心的纠结和母亲的信任下，乔伊还是决定向道先生坦白事实。道先生听后，原谅了他，并让他帮助自己关店门。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“Did Mr. Dow see the pipe in his hand? Joey’s thoughts became unclear. He watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store”可知，乔伊偷了烟斗。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文“She trusted me”可知，他妈妈对他的信任让乔伊回到了商店。故选A。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文“‘How about staying around and helping me close up shop?’ Joey felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder”可知，这次经历使他长大了。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文“He knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done”可知推断，他最终醒悟了，于是他选择诚实勇敢面对自己的错误，所以乔伊诚实、勇敢。故选C。 (D) Have you ever wanted to live on the water? Perhaps wake up on a weekend morning and jump out of the window for a swim? While there are already houseboats, a new floating neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands is proving that it is possible to realize this dream! Schoonschip, a Dutch word for a “clean ship”, is a prototype（原型）of a floating neighborhood. This community of 46 houses, 150 people, and 40 kids is the brainchild of Marjan De Blok, a Dutch reality TV director. One-third of the land in the Netherlands lies below sea level and there is frequent flooding. De Blok imagined another way to live, that not only meets the need for more housing in cities but also allows homes to withstand（承受）rising sea levels. The green homes are designed to have a very small environmental footprint. They are powered by solar energy, and the houses are connected, so that extra energy from one home can be used by another. The extra energy is also stored in batteries. There are rooftop gardens for growing food, heat pumps to keep the houses warm, and rainwater is stored and used for flushing toilets. In the future, waste water from showers and toilets will be converted back into energy. The houses themselves follow the Dutch design principle（原则）of “gezellig” or coziness , which includes soft lighting and modern touches. Additionally, when adding heavy furniture such as pianos to a floating home, it must be balanced with bricks on the other side of the house. The homes are also filled with green materials such as straw, burlap, and bamboo. The community has been attracting attention for its new and green design. For the nearly 800 million people living along the coast and at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, this may be their hope for the future. 38. What is the article mainly about? A. Houseboats. B. A clean ship. C. Rooftop gardens. D. A floating neighborhood. 39. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A clever child. B. A large community. C. A creative idea. D. An interesting TV programme. 40. What are the green homes designed for ? A. To help lower the sea level. B. To store energy in batteries. C. To provide free homes for people who can’t afford to buy them. D. To provide more houses in cities and allow them to withstand rising sea levels. 41. Which of the following is NOТ TRUE according to the passage? A. The houses have soft lighting and modern touches. B. Heavy furniture should be made of bricks to keep balance. C. Straw, burlap, and bamboo can also be found in the homes. D. The community may be the hope for people along the coast facing the rising sea levels. 【答案】38. D 39. C 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了荷兰阿姆斯特丹的一个漂浮社区。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“a new floating neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands is proving that it is possible to realize this dream”以及本文内容可知，文章主要介绍了荷兰阿姆斯特丹的一个漂浮社区。故选D。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“This community of 46 houses, 150 people, and 40 kids is the brainchild of Marjan De Blok, a Dutch reality TV director.”可知这个有46个房子，150个人和40个孩子的漂浮社区是Marjan De Blok的创意，故此处划线部分意为“一个创意”。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“that not only meets the need for more housing in cities but also allows homes to withstand（承受）rising sea levels.”可知漂浮社区不仅可以满足城市对更多住房的需求，还可以让房屋承受海平面上升。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Additionally, when adding heavy furniture such as pianos to a floating home, it must be balanced with bricks on the other side of the house. ”可知添加重型家具时，必须与房屋另一侧的砖块保持平衡，而不是重型家具应该由砖块制成，选项B表述错误。故选B。 五、词汇运用 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 42. If the gift you gave to your mother is full of true love, it will ________ (无疑地) be valuable. 【答案】certainly 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你送给母亲的礼物充满真爱，它无疑将是有价值的。根据“it will...be valuable”可知，横线处需填副词修饰动词，无疑地“certainly”，副词。故填certainly。 43. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team won the gold medal ________（凭借）hard work. 【答案】through 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国女排凭借艰苦的努力赢得了金牌。分析句子结构，句子主谓宾都有，结合提示词“凭借”可知，这里需要填介词through，用它来给出方式或原因，引导方式状语。故填through。 44. He is one of the world’s most famous scholars of ________ (古老的) Indian culture. 【答案】ancient 【解析】 【详解】句意：他是世界上最著名的古印度文化学者之一。ancient“古老的”，形容词，作定语，修饰Indian culture。故填ancient。 45. The team had a couple of ________ (胜利) at first, but soon they ran out of luck. 【答案】victories 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：这个队起初取得了几次胜利，但很快他们就没有好运气了。根据前面的“a couple of”几个、几次，可知后面接复数名词，victory“胜利”，可数名词，符合题意，其复数形式是victories，故填victories。 46. He’s ________ (几乎不) spent any time on his lessons, so he does badly in any subject. 【答案】hardly 【解析】 【详解】句意：他几乎没有花任何时间在功课上，所以他在任何科目上都表现得很差。根据中文提示“几乎不”可知，此处应使用副词hardly来表示这一意思。故填hardly。 (B)根据句意，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 47. In Dong Yuhui’s eyes, Wuxi is one of the ________ (lively) cities in Jiangsu Province. 【答案】liveliest 【解析】 【详解】句意：在董宇辉看来，无锡是江苏省最有活力城市之一。“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“……中最……之一”，此处需要用形容词最高级，“lively”的最高级形式为“liveliest”。故填liveliest。 48. __________ (silent) and a beach to walk on are all I need when I am sad. 【答案】Silence 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我悲伤的时候，我只需要安静和一个可以散步的海滩。 根据句意理解可知，这里是and并列的两部分，后面是beach，是一个名词，所以前面也应该用名词，silent的名词是silence，是不可数名词，所以用单数形式，位于句首字母要大写，故答案为Silence。 49. The writer has written some books to show his ________ (think) on social problems. 【答案】thoughts##thinking 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位作家写了一些书，以表达他对社会问题的看法。根据“his”及提示词可知，此处应该使用名词形式，表示他的看法。think的名词形式为thought/thinking“看法，见解”；结合“social problems”可知，此处应该使用名词复数thoughts或不可数名词thinking。故填thoughts/thinking。 50. It’s important to make yourself ________ (correct) understood when you are explaining. 【答案】correctly 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你在解释的时候，让别人正确理解你的意思是很重要的。根据“make yourself...understood”可知，此处是用副词修饰动词“understood”，correct“正确的”，形容词，其副词形式为correctly“正确地”。故填correctly。 51. A person who does not like fishing seems ________ (patient) in doing his work. 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个不喜欢钓鱼的人，在工作中似乎没有耐心。根据“A person who does not like fishing”及常识可知，钓鱼需要耐心，不喜欢钓鱼的人没有耐心，空处用形容词作表语。impatient“没有耐心的”，形容词。故填impatient。 六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。(本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分) 52. —How is your health these days? —Pretty good. I once ______ (prefer) to stay up late, but I have changed this habit. 【答案】preferred 【解析】 【详解】句意：——最近身体怎么样？——很好。我曾经比较喜欢熬夜，但是我已经改了这个习惯。根据“once”可知，时态是一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式preferred。故填preferred。 53. She’d rather ________ (laugh) at than give up her ideal job. 【答案】be laughed 【解析】 【详解】句意：她宁愿被嘲笑，也不愿放弃理想的工作。“would rather do something than do something”意为“宁愿做某事而不愿做另一件事”，所以动词用原形；此处主语“she”是被嘲笑的对象，所以需用被动语态，被动语态结构是“be+动词过去分词”，故填be laughed。 54. —Oh, my God. We have missed the last bus. What shall we do? —I’m afraid we have no choice but ________ (take) a taxi now. 【答案】to take 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哦，天哪。我们错过了最后一班公交车。我们该怎么办？——恐怕我们现在别无选择，只能乘出租车了。“have no choice but to do sth.”表示“别无选择，只能做某事”，是固定用法。故填to take。 55. Lucy was busy with her project when I came to see her. She ________ (reply) to the readers’ letters. 【答案】was replying 【解析】 【详解】句意：我去看露西时，她忙着她的项目。她正在给读者回信。根据“Lucy was busy with her project when I came to see her.”可知句子时态为过去时，“when I came to see her”是过去具体时间点。强调在过去某个具体时刻正在进行的动作时，用过去进行时（was/were+现在分词），主语“She”是第三人称单数，因此助动词用“was”，动词“reply”的现在分词为“replying”。故填was replying。 56. Although it’s a difficult decision, I ________ (not change) my mind anymore once I have decided. 【答案】won’t change##will not change 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管这是一个困难的决定，但一旦我做出了决定，我就不会再改变主意了。根据“Although it’s a difficult decision, I...my mind any more once I have decided.”可知，although引导让步状语从句，从句是一般现在时；现在已经做好决定，改变主意是将来的事情，故此处用一般将来时，won’t change或will not change“将不会改变”，符合。故填won’t change/will not change。 57. A study suggests that our body ________ (relax) when we laugh, even when it’s a fake smile. 【答案】relaxes 【解析】 【详解】句意：一项研究表明，当我们笑的时候，即使是假笑，我们的身体也会放松。分析句子可知，是一般现在时，主语our body是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填relaxes。 58. —Can I use the computer to search for information now? —Of course, we ________ (check) it. Help yourself! 【答案】have checked 【解析】 【详解】句意：——现在我可以用电脑搜索信息了吗？——当然，我们已经检查了。随便用！根据“we… it. Help yourself! ”可知，此处表示强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时，主语we是复数形式，助动词用have，动词check的过去分词为checked。故填have checked。 59. It’s a pity that most of the parents born after 1980 now have difficulty ______ (deal) with their kids’ teenage problems. 【答案】dealing 【解析】 【详解】句意：遗憾的是，大多数1980年后出生的父母现在很难处理孩子的青少年问题。have difficulty (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，设空处需使用动名词形式作省略介词in的宾语。故填dealing。 七、阅读填空(本大题共6小题，每小题1分，共6分) 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。 How do you find happiness every single day? How do you get more out of life and live life to the fullest? There are three easy ways to help you to enjoy your daily life. One way to find happiness within you is to show your appreciation (感激) to others. Showing appreciation gives happiness to others. At the same time, we can receive happiness in return by writing a letter of appreciation and for the reply we get. Often, maybe you push yourself hard by telling yourself you could have done things better. Have a look at your life and think about what you have achieved today. So take 5 minutes right now to write down what you have achieved in life and what you are proud of. Have you ever kept a diary? Sometimes writing things down will give you clear thinking and allow you to let go of things. When you write in a diary, you have the ability to express yourself as you truly would like to be. Each of the above three easy steps takes only 15 minutes. Not only can it produce happiness for you, but also it will help others get happy. Why not have a try right now? Title: ____60____ to find happiness Showing appreciation to others Write ____61____ to give happiness to others and receive happiness in return. Appreciating yourself Write down your ____62____ in life and what you are proud of. Having a conversation with yourself Writing in diaries will make you think ____63____. In a diary, you are ____64____ to express yourself freely. Conclusion Following the three steps above, both you and others will be in a good ____65____. 【答案】60. How##Ways 61. letters 62. achievements 63. clearly 64. able 65. mood 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何找到幸福。 60题详解】 根据“How do you find happiness every single day?...There are three easy ways to help you to enjoy your daily life.”可知，本文介绍了如何找到幸福或找到幸福的方法，Ways“方法”和how“如何”都符合语境。故填How/Ways。 【61题详解】 根据“we can receive happiness in return by writing a letter of appreciation and for the reply we get.”可知，我们可以通过写一封感谢信和得到的回复来获得幸福。结合“Write...to give happiness to others and...”可知，此处泛指用名词复数letters“信”。故填letters。 【62题详解】 根据“So take 5 minutes right now to write down what you have achieved in life and what you are proud of.”可知，花5分钟写下你在生活中取得的成就和你引以为豪的事情。结合“Write down your...in life and what you are proud of.”可知，your后接名词，achievements“成就”，名词，符合。故填achievements。 【63题详解】 根据“Sometimes writing things down will give you clear thinking and allow you to let go of things.”可知，把事情写下来会让你思路清晰结合“Writing in diaries will make you think...”可知，此处修饰动词用副词clearly“清晰地”。故填clearly。 【64题详解】 根据“When you write in a diary, you have the ability to express yourself as you truly would like to be.”可知，当你写日记时，你能够按照自己真正希望的样子来表达自己。结合“you are...to express yourself freely.”可知，“ability”对应“be able to”。故填able。 【65题详解】 根据“Not only can it produce happiness for you, but also it will help others get happy.”可知，这些步骤不仅能为你带来快乐，还能帮助他人获得幸福。结合“Following the three steps above, both you and others will be in a good...”可知，“be in a good...”对应原文“produce happiness”，此处应该表示按照上述三个步骤操作后，你和其他人都会有好心情。mood“心情”，符合。故填mood。 八、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。(本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分) 66. 严于律己，方能独占鳌头。 ________________, and you can take the lead. 【答案】If you are strict with yourself 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，空格处表示“严于律己”；be strict with“对……严格”，此处可以表示“如果你对自己严格，就能……”，用“If”引导条件状语从句；主语是you，时态是一般现在时，be动词用are；yourself你自己。故填If you are strict with yourself。 67. 我建议立刻让他振作起来，不然他将陷入两难的境地。 I suggest ________________ at once, or he will be trapped in a dilemma. 【答案】cheering him up 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“让他振作起来”，“建议某人做某事”常见表达为“suggest doing sth.”，cheer sb. up“使某人振作起来”，所以这里应该用“cheer him up”的动名词形式“cheering him up”作suggest的宾语。故填cheering him up。 68. 在我校刚落幕的运动会中，初三参与4×100接力赛的男子运动员分成了五组。 The boys from Grade Nine in the 400-meter relay race ________________ five groups in the school sports meeting which just ended in our school. 【答案】were divided into 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，此处表示“分成”，使用divide into；句子描述的是过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时，主语The boys与谓语动词divide之间是被动关系，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were + 过去分词”，主语是复数，be动词用were，divide的过去分词是divided。故填were divided into。 69. 你能想象在航天领域取得一点进展是多么的不容易吗？ Can you imagine how hard it is ________________ in the aerospace industry. 【答案】to make a little progress 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此处表达“取得一点进展”的意思，“取得进展”常用短语“make progress”，“一点”用“a little”来修饰“progress”，同时句子结构上这里需要用不定式短语“to make a little progress”来作真正的主语，it是形式主语，表示“取得一点进展是多么的不容易”这件事。故填to make a little progress。 70. 近来，无锡市民十分关注在锡惠公园举办的菊花展。 Recently, citizens in Wuxi ________________ the Chrysanthemum Exhibition in Xihui Park. 【答案】have paid much attention to 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“十分关注”，用短语“pay much attention to”；又因为“近来（Recently）”表明该动作从过去持续到现在，对现在有影响，所以应该用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语“citizens in Wuxi”是复数，所以用“have”，“pay”的过去分词是“paid”。故填have paid much attention to。 71. 你记得Tom由于流感缺课多久了吗？ Do you remember ________ school because of the flu? 【答案】how long Tom has been absent from 【解析】 【详解】根据中英对照可知，此处缺少“Tom缺课多久了”。how long“多久”；be absent from“缺席”，固定搭配。根据“Do you remember...”可知，后接宾语从句，需用陈述语序。且Tom由于流感缺课，是从过去持续到现在的状态，需用现在完成时，Tom作主语，助动词用has；be的过去分词为been。故填how long Tom has been absent from。 九、书面表达(本大题共20分) 72. 假如你是张华，曾经在你校交流学习的 Maggie 同学给你写了一封电子邮件。请你根据邮件内容，用英语给 Maggie 回一封电子邮件。 Dear Zhang Hua Sorry, it’ s a long time since I wrote my last email.

What’s more, you can talk to your parents and tell them that you will work harder than before. With their support, you will be more likely to put your heart into what you do. I think everyone may have trouble in life and we should face it bravely. Only in this way can we make our dreams come true. I hope what I said can help you. All the best.

One day, we visited Nana and kissed her goodbye. Then we were about to leave when suddenly a small hand grabbed mine. “James!” a happy voice said. I turned back and saw a face with snow-white hair. It was an old lady hit by that disease like Nana at that time. She mistook me for son. A nurse told me that her son had died years before. I held her hands and let her joy go on. Even though she didn’t know who I was, I could see the sparkle (闪光) in her eyes when she spoke to her son through me. Ever since that visit, I always volunteered time to visit her as well as my Nana. The nurses told me that she was always calmer and happier after seeing her “son”. Then one day I noticed that she wasn’t there. I asked the nurses and they sadly told me that she had died a few days before. In a moment I realized that I really had been her son for a while. In this world we are all family and we are all connected by love. Even now or many years later, I feel lucky to be there for her in the last days of her life. 30.

He imagined some day he would be a grown man and could smoke a pipe, just like this one. He looked around. Nobody was looking. He put the pipe in his hand. He just wanted to get the feel of it. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around quickly. It was Mr. Dow, the store owner. “Hello, Joey,” Mr. Dow said. Joey struggled (挣扎) to answer but only smiled weakly as Mr. Dow walked away. Did Mr. Dow see the pipe in his hand? Joey’s thoughts became unclear. He watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store. Wandering (徘徊) in the street, he felt something against his stomach. He knew it was the pipe. He had walked out of the store with it. He pulled the pipe out of his pocket. Joey wondered if Mr. Dow had called the police. Perhaps the police were waiting for him at home. He could say he did not take the pipe. No one had seen him do it. Still he himself would know that he did. Then, it was time to go home. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. He remembered the way she said, “You are a little man now, Joey.” Thinking of it made him sad. “She trusted me,” he kept saying to himself. The pipe and his dreams of growing up meant nothing. He knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he reached the store, Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joey’s feet felt heavy. Suddenly, he held out the pipe. “Mr. Dow,” he said, “I didn’t mean to take it.” “Thanks, Joey.” Mr. Dow said gently. “How about staying around and helping me close up shop?” Joey felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder.

(D) Have you ever wanted to live on the water? Perhaps wake up on a weekend morning and jump out of the window for a swim? While there are already houseboats, a new floating neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands is proving that it is possible to realize this dream! Schoonschip, a Dutch word for a “clean ship”, is a prototype（原型）of a floating neighborhood. This community of 46 houses, 150 people, and 40 kids is the brainchild of Marjan De Blok, a Dutch reality TV director. One-third of the land in the Netherlands lies below sea level and there is frequent flooding. De Blok imagined another way to live, that not only meets the need for more housing in cities but also allows homes to withstand（承受）rising sea levels. The green homes are designed to have a very small environmental footprint. They are powered by solar energy, and the houses are connected, so that extra energy from one home can be used by another. The extra energy is also stored in batteries. There are rooftop gardens for growing food, heat pumps to keep the houses warm, and rainwater is stored and used for flushing toilets. In the future, waste water from showers and toilets will be converted back into energy. The houses themselves follow the Dutch design principle（原则）of “gezellig” or coziness , which includes soft lighting and modern touches. Additionally, when adding heavy furniture such as pianos to a floating home, it must be balanced with bricks on the other side of the house. The homes are also filled with green materials such as straw, burlap, and bamboo. The community has been attracting attention for its new and green design. For the nearly 800 million people living along the coast and at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, this may be their hope for the future. 38. What is the article mainly about? A. Houseboats. B. A clean ship. C. Rooftop gardens. D. A floating neighborhood. 39. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A clever child. B. A large community. C. A creative idea. D. An interesting TV programme. 40. What are the green homes designed for ? A. To help lower the sea level. B. To store energy in batteries. C. To provide free homes for people who can’t afford to buy them. D. To provide more houses in cities and allow them to withstand rising sea levels. 41. Which of the following is NOТ TRUE according to the passage? A. The houses have soft lighting and modern touches. B. Heavy furniture should be made of bricks to keep balance. C. Straw, burlap, and bamboo can also be found in the homes. D. The community may be the hope for people along the coast facing the rising sea levels. 五、词汇运用 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 42.
