A. lies; dies B. lay; died C. lain; dead D. lying; dying 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个躺在路边的老人被发现奄奄一息，他被巴士司机和乘客立即送往医院。 考查词义辨析。lies说谎，躺；lay躺（过去式）或放置（动词原形）；lain躺（过去分词）；lying躺（现在分词）或说谎（现在分词）。第一空表示“正躺在路边的老人”，用现在分词作定语。dies死亡，动词三单；died死亡，动词过去式；dead死亡的，形容词；dying垂死的，形容词。根据“he was sent to the hospital by the bus driver and passengers immediately.”可知，还有生命体征，处于垂死边缘，第二空应填形容词dying，故选D。 6. —Susan, could you please tell me ________? —Yes, with pleasure.

She ____ for five years and now she has a lovely son. A. married B. has been married C. got married D. has got married 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：她结婚五年了，现在有一个可爱的儿子。 考查完成时态的延续性动词。根据句意理解及句中的for five years可知，句子应该用现在完成时，且动词要用延续性动词，marry对应的延续性动词是be married，故选B。 【点睛】在现在完成时的句子中，如果句中有for引导的一段时间，动词一定要用延续性动词，有些动词是短暂性的，要注意转换成延续性动词，比如本题中marry就是一个短暂性动词，变成延续性动词要用be married。 9. —Do you know if he ________ the job offer? —Unless he ________ a higher salary, I am sure he won’t. A. will receive; accepts B. will accept; receives C. receives; will accept D. accepts; receives 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道他是否会接受这个工作吗？——除非他得到更高的薪水，我确定他不会。 考查时态和动词辨析。receive收到；accept接受。根据“Do you know if he … the job offer?”可知，此句是if引导的宾语从句，此处说的是不知道是否会接受，用一般将来时，因此第一个空填will accept；再由“Unless he…a higher salary,”可知，此句是Unless条件状语从句，该从句描述的是除非他得到更高的薪水，这是一个条件，通常使用一般现在时来表示将来。所以，这里应该使用一般现在时“receives”。故选B。 10. The pair of white trousers ________ nice. Can I ________? A. is; try it on B. are; try on it C. is; try them on D. are; try on them 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这条白色的裤子很漂亮。我能试一下吗？ 考查be动词和动词短语。is用于名词单数或者不可数名词；are用于名词复数；try on试一试。第一空的句子主语是the pair of...，名词单数作主语，be动词用is；第二个空，try on试穿，当宾语是代词时，放在动词和副词之间，此处用them代指上文的white trousers。故选C。 VI. 完形填空Ⅵ（共20小题；每小题1分，计20分） A A student asked his teacher what greed(贪婪) was.

At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded in half, wrote their names in bold (粗体) with the most eyecatching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.” “I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.” After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card. 39. What did the writer’s classmates do when they were asked questions? A. They raised their hands. B. They shook their heads. C. They closed their eyes. D. They lowered their heads. 40. What does the underlined word “eye­catching” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者通过老师在课堂上讲的一个故事，明白了要勇敢地展现自己，这样才能赢得机会的道理。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. ... and I found that the students around were just like me.”可知，每当老师提问时，作者总是低头，因为他害怕老师看见他，而且他发现周围的学生都和他一样。由此可知，作者的同学们在被提问时也会低头，故选D。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“with the most eyecatching color”以及常识可知，写名字要用醒目颜色，这样才能让人一眼就注意到，eyecatching意为“引人注目的”，故选A。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.”可知，听完故事后，作者明白了机会不会自己找到你，你必须一直展现自己，这样你才能在卡片上找到机会。由此可知，作者主要想告诉我们勇敢地展现自己可以赢得机会，故选D。 C Xiao is one of the oldest musical instruments in China. It’s a kind of wind instrument. It has a long history. The music of the bamboo flute or Xiao reminds people of a lonely moon hanging in the sky of a cool autumn night. The sound of it is the sound of nature. The material is soft and elegant (典雅的). ①________ The earliest Xiao appeared during the Han Dynasty, and it was then called Qiangdi, which was popular among the Qiang people in Sichuan and Gansu. In the 1st century BC, it became popular in the Yellow River area. Later, it was developed into an instrument with six holes and today’s Xiao has developed into eight holes. ②________ Its structure is quite simple, very much like the flute, but only longer. It is usually made of bamboo. The top is sealed by bamboo which is quite different from the flute. Inside a flute, your sight can travel through from the top to the other side and then outside, but as for Xiao, you can’t. There is a mouth on the top and five sound holes on the front side and one hole at the back. Besides, there are other holes that are made to adjust (调整) the tunes (曲调), smooth the tones, and raise the volume (音量). Xiao sounds soft and beautiful. ③________ The performance levels are closely the same as those of the flute, but less flexible (灵活的), For that reason, it is only suitable to play slow and peaceful melodies (旋律), which carry people’s feelings in this situation and draw a beautiful picture of nature. People may play the Xiao alone, in a group, or in a concert, as well as folk music and together with local dramas. 42. What does the underlined word “sealed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Peeled. B. Closed. C. Colored. D. Repeated. 43. What did the earliest users name the instrument? A. Xiao. B. The lyric. C. Qiangdi. D. The flute. 44. Match the title with each part. a. Types of Xiao b. The structure of Xiao c. The development of Xiao d. The processing of Xiao e. Performance levels of Xiao A. ①—a ②—c, ③—e B. ①—c, ②—b, ③—e C. ①—c, ②—e, ③—d D. ①—d, ②—b, ③—a 45. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①②/③/④ D. ①②③/④ 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国古老的吹奏乐器 —— 箫，包括其历史发展、结构特点以及演奏水平等相关内容。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Inside a flute, your sight can travel through from the top to the other side and then outside, but as for Xiao, you can’t.”可知，笛子内部从顶部到另一端是通透的，而箫则不能，由此可推测箫的顶部是“封闭的”。sealed在此处表示“封闭的”，与“Closed”含义一致。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The earliest Xiao appeared during the Han Dynasty, and it was then called Qiangdi, which was popular among the Qiang people in Sichuan and Gansu.”可知，最早的箫在汉朝出现时被称为“羌笛”，这是其最早使用者对它的命名。Xiao是现在的名称。故选C。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。①：根据“The earliest Xiao appeared during the Han Dynasty ... In the 1st century BC ... Later ... today’s Xiao ...”可知，该段按时间顺序介绍了箫从汉朝到现在的发展过程，核心是 “箫的发展”，对应标题c。②：根据“Its structure is quite simple ... It is usually made of bamboo ... There is a mouth on the top and five sound holes on the front side and one hole at the back ...”可知，该段详细描述了箫的材质、外观构造及孔洞作用，核心是“箫的结构”，对应标题b。③：根据“The performance levels are closely the same as those of the flute ... it is only suitable to play slow and peaceful melodies ... People may play the Xiao alone, in a group ...”可知，该段围绕箫的演奏水平、适用旋律及演奏形式展开，核心是“箫的演奏水平”，对应标题e。因此匹配结果为①—c，②—b，③—e。故选B。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第1段总述箫是中国古老的吹奏乐器，介绍了其音乐特点和音色风格，为总起部分；第2段介绍箫的发展、第 3 段介绍箫的结构、第 4 段介绍箫的演奏水平，这三段均为对箫具体信息的分述，属于并列的分述部分。因此文章为“总分”结构。故选A。 D Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 46. Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A. B. C. D. 47. What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. were the same as B. did better than C. depended on D. looked up to 48. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Parents should do everything for their kids. B. Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C. Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D. Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了儿童在学习新事物时比成人更快的原因，主要与大脑中的GABA水平有关。研究发现，小学生在学习新任务时，GABA水平迅速增加，而成年人的GABA水平则没有变化。这表明儿童在特定时间内能比成人学习更多内容。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information.”可知，儿童学习GABA水平迅速上升，而成人无变化。正确图表应显示儿童GABA上升（如学习期间陡增），成人保持平稳。选项A符合此描述，故选A。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities.”可知，上下文指出儿童学习能力优于成人，“outperformed”意为“表现更好”，选项B“比……做的更好”符合。故选B。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike.”可知，本段强调应给予儿童更多学习机会（如乘法表、骑自行车），选项D“应该给孩子们更多学习新技能的机会。”正确。故选D。 E Charles Delali Adegah is from Ghana, a country in Africa. He loves the Chinese language. He says he enjoys learning the language and it helps him live a better life. As a Chinese language student, Charles was lucky to study in China for no charge. When he went back to Ghana, he worked as a translator for many companies. Later, Charles went on to study the language. Now, he teaches at a Confucius Institute（孔子学院）in his home country. In Ghana many people have similar stories as Charles. China and Ghana are close friends. Many companies in Ghana do business with Chinese people and expect that their workers can speak Chinese. So, learning Chinese can help the people there find good jobs and make more money to live a better life. The people there also say that Chinese, though difficult, is such a beautiful language that learning it helps them know more about China, At the Confucius Institute, they can also learn Chinese kung fu, songs, dances, and so on. At the same time, many Chinese people in Ghana also come to learn local languages. This brings them closer to Ghanaian people. They live and work well with the people there. Language is like a bridge between China and Ghana. It helps people in the two countries learn more about each other and work for a better tomorrow together. 49. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Living in Ghana. B. Learning Chinese. C. Studying in China. D. Being a Chinese language student. 50. What does the underlined phrase "no charge" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Excited. B. Busy. C. Expensive. D. Free. 51. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. How the Ghanaian people study Chinese. B. Why the Ghanaian people study Chinese. C. When the Ghanaian people study Chinese. D. Where the Ghanaian people study Chinese. 52. What do Chinese people do to get closer to Ghanaian people? A. They give them jobs. B. They teach them Chinese. C. They learn local languages. D. They help them start more businesses. 【答案】49. B 50. D 51. B 52. C 【解析】 【详解】【导语】本文描述了许多加纳人学习中文，帮助他们找到好工作、赚更多钱，过上更好的生活。同时中国人也学习加纳语，加深了两国之间的交流。 【小题 1】题意：第一段中划线词 “it” 指的是什么？ 词义猜测题。根据第一段前文 “He loves the Chinese language. He says he enjoys learning the language and it helps him live a better life.”（他喜欢中文。他说他享受学习这门语言，并且它帮助他过上了更好的生活。） 可知，“it” 指代前文提到的 “learning the Chinese language（学习中文）”，对应选项 B。因此，正确答案为 B。 【小题 2】题意：第二段中划线短语 “no charge” 可能是什么意思？ 词义猜测题。结合上下文，“As a Chinese language student, Charles was lucky to study in China for no charge.” 此处描述 Charles 作为中文学生的幸运之处，“no charge” 修饰 “study in China（在中国学习）”，结合选项，“Free（免费的）” 符合语境，指学习是免费的。选项 A. Excited（兴奋的）、B. Busy（忙碌的）、C. Expensive（昂贵的）均与 “学习” 这一行为的成本无关。因此，正确答案为 D。 【小题 3】题意：从第三段我们能了解到什么？ 段落主旨题。第三段提到 “many people have similar stories as Charles”，随后解释原因：“加纳许多公司与中国人做生意，希望员工会说中文，因此学习中文能帮助当地人找到好工作、赚更多钱，过上更好的生活。” 整段围绕 “加纳人学习中文的原因” 展开，对应选项 B。因此，正确答案为 B。 【小题 4】题意：中国人做了什么来拉近与加纳人的距离？ 细节理解题。根据最后一段 “At the same time, many Chinese people in Ghana also come to learn local languages. This brings them closer to Ghanaian people.”（与此同时，在加纳的许多中国人也开始学习当地语言。这让他们与加纳人更亲近。）可知，中国人通过学习当地语言拉近与加纳人的距离，对应选项 C。因此，正确答案为 C。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 There was an old lock shop on an old city street. People usually came here to buy locks and keys and sometimes to get the similar keys for their locks. There was a heavy hammer (锤) in the shop which was used to break useless locks. It often wondered, “What is the secret of these small keys? They can open even such strong locks very soon. But I don’t know how many times I have to hit to open the same lock.” One day, after the shop was closed, the hammer asked the small key, “How are you able to open even hard locks so easily? Though I’m so strong, I can’t do this.” The key said, “You use force to open the lock. By doing so, the lock doesn’t open but breaks. I don’t hurt it, but I enter its heart and it will open at once.” Something similar happens in our life. If we want to win someone’s heart, __________. 53.

These students had a good time last weekend, many of them ________ (野餐) on the riverbank. 【答案】had a picnic 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些学生上周末玩得很开心，其中很多人在河畔野餐。根据提示可知，have a picnic“去野餐”，时间状语last weekend表明此句为一般过去时。故填had a picnic。 63. ________ (凭借) his wisdom, he answered the question. 【答案】Through 【解析】 【详解】句意：凭借他的智慧，他回答了这个问题。根据through 通过，凭借；故填Through。 64.

At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded in half, wrote their names in bold (粗体) with the most eyecatching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.” “I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.” After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card. 39. What did the writer’s classmates do when they were asked questions? A. They raised their hands. B.

The music of the bamboo flute or Xiao reminds people of a lonely moon hanging in the sky of a cool autumn night. The sound of it is the sound of nature. The material is soft and elegant (典雅的). ①________ The earliest Xiao appeared during the Han Dynasty, and it was then called Qiangdi, which was popular among the Qiang people in Sichuan and Gansu. In the 1st century BC, it became popular in the Yellow River area. Later, it was developed into an instrument with six holes and today’s Xiao has developed into eight holes. ②________ Its structure is quite simple, very much like the flute, but only longer. It is usually made of bamboo. The top is sealed by bamboo which is quite different from the flute. Inside a flute, your sight can travel through from the top to the other side and then outside, but as for Xiao, you can’t. There is a mouth on the top and five sound holes on the front side and one hole at the back. Besides, there are other holes that are made to adjust (调整) the tunes (曲调), smooth the tones, and raise the volume (音量). Xiao sounds soft and beautiful. ③________ The performance levels are closely the same as those of the flute, but less flexible (灵活的), For that reason, it is only suitable to play slow and peaceful melodies (旋律), which carry people’s feelings in this situation and draw a beautiful picture of nature.

You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 46. Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A. B. C. D. 47. What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. were the same as B. did better than C. depended on D. looked up to 48. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Parents should do everything for their kids. B. Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C. Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D. Children should be given more chances to learn new skills.
