A. an；a B. an；the C. /；a D. /；the 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——在我看来，并不是所有的发明都是偶然发明的。嗯，你似乎有点道理，发明需要很多时间和努力。by accident为固定词组，意思是“偶然地，无意中”；不定冠词a表示泛指，用以辅音音素开头的单词前，point以辅音音素开头，故前面用不定冠词a，have a point有道理，故答案为C。 点睛：定冠词a/an表示泛指，定冠词the表示特指。不定冠词an用以元音音素开头的单词前，a用以辅音音素开头的单词前，而不是首字母是原因字母或辅音字母，一定要先看音标。如an hour; an honest boy; a useful book。 2. We should try our best to avoid _______ the same mistakes. A. make B. to make C. making D. made 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该尽量避免犯同样的错误。A. make动词原形；B. to make动词不定式；C. making分词或动名词；D. made动词过去式。avoid doing sth.避免做某事，故答案选C。 3. My grandma ________ us stories when I was young. A. was used to tell B. is used to telling C. used to tell D. used to telling 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我小时候，奶奶常给我们讲故事。 考查use的短语。be used to do sth被用来做某事；be used to doing sth习惯于做某事；used to do sth过去常常做某事。根据“when I was young”可知，此处表示过去的事，故选C。 4. Mike_________out the quilt on the grass and _______down to have a rest. A. lay，laid B. laid，lay C. laid，laid D. lay，lay 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：迈克拿出被子放在草地上，躺下休息。 考查动词辨析。前半句表达的意思是“彼得在草地上铺上被子”，“放置，安放”的原形是lay, 过去式是laid，lay out 摆放，摊开。后半句意为“躺下休息”，“躺”的原形是lie，过去式是lay。结合句意，故选B。 5. Great changes __________ in our school in the past few years. A. have taken place B. took place C. take place D. will take place 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去的几年里，我们学校发生了巨大变化。 考查时态。take place发生；根据时间短语in the past few years，可知本句使用现在完成时态。所以选A。 6. —What did Daniel say to you? —He asked me ________. A. how did I get to Lu’an. B. why I liked Lu’an so much. C. how many schools are there in Lu’an. D. what will I study in West Anhui University. 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——丹尼尔对你说了什么？——他问我为什么如此喜欢六安。 考查宾语从句。how did I get to Lu’an我怎样到达六安，疑问语序；why I liked Lu’an so much我为什么如此喜欢六安，陈述语序；how many schools are there in Lu’an六安有多少所学校，疑问语序；what will I study in West Anhui University我将会在皖西学院学习什么，疑问语序。根据句子结构可知，该空是宾语从句，从句中用陈述语序，排除A、C和D；B选项符合语境和语法要求。故选B。 7. --Will you go to the party tomorrow, Jim? --I won’t unless I______ A. invited B. invite C. will be invited D. am invited 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——吉姆，你明天去参加聚会吗？——我不会，除非我被邀请。考查一般现在时的被动语态。由句中的unless可知，这是一个条件状语从句，主句用将来时，从句应用一般现在时，根据题干可知，主语I是动作invite的承受者，表示“被邀请”，所以应用被动语态；一般现在时的被动语态结构为：am/is/are+动词过去分词；主语是I，be动词用am，invite的过去分词是invited；故答案选D。 8. Not only Jim but also Lucy ____________ a few cities since they came to China. A. will visit B. visited C. have visited D. has visited 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从他们来中国以来，不只Jim而且Lucy也参观了一些城市。 考查动词时态和主谓一致。will visit一般将来时；visited一般过去时；have visited现在完成时；has visited现在完成时，has是have的第三人称单数形式。根据句中“…since they came to China”可知，这里表示从过去持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时态，排除A和B。主语是Not only Jim but also Lucy，谓语动词应根据就近原则，与Lucy一致，助动词用has。故选D。 9. This salad is made ________ fruits and it ________. A. of; smells well B. from; is smelled well C. from; is smelled good D. of; smells good 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个沙拉是用水果做的，它闻起来味道很好。 考查动词短语和形容词作表语。be made of由……制成，能看出材料；be made from由……制成，看不出材料；根据句意可知，沙拉是水果制成的，这是能看出来的，应用介词of，故排除B和C。smell“闻起来”，是一个系动词，后面跟形容词作表语，well是副词，应该用good。故选D。 10. —Could you tell me how to pay for the food by QR code (二维码) on the phone? — . A. Take it easy B. It doesn’t matter C. With pleasure D. You' re welcome 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我如何使用手机上的二维码为食物付费吗？——愿意效劳。 A. Take it easy别紧张；B. It doesn’t matter没关系，用于sorry的答语；C. With pleasure愿意效劳；D. You' re welcome不用谢，用于thank you 的答语。With pleasure用在别人请求你帮忙的时候，表示“这是我的荣幸(我很乐意去做)”。结合语境可知，答案为C。 Ⅵ. 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读下面短文，从所给ABCD四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Many useful machines were ___11___ by inventors.

However, people’s lifestyle is changing at the same time. They have busier lives. They eat more processed food, which has more fat, salt, and sugar. As a result, the number of people with certain illnesses is increasing. Diabetes (糖尿病) is an illness that has become more common. According to the WHO, the number of diabetes patients in the world rose by nearly 4% from 1980 to 2014. And the number is still rising. In the past, diabetes was more common in rich countries. However, in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in developing countries. Take China for example. In 1980, less than 1% of the population in China had diabetes, but now more than one in ten Chinese over 18 have diabetes. It is possible to control diabetes with medicine, but there is no cure. There are things, however, that people can do to avoid it. If they are overweight, they should try to lose weight. They should also avoid foods high in fat and sugar. People should exercise often. Besides, they should walk or ride bikes more instead of traveling by car. If people change to this healthier lifestyle, we may be able to stop the rise in diabetes in the future. 42.

A. Who may get diabetes. B. How diabetes will develop. C. What should be done to avoid diabetes. D. What medicine can help control diabetes. 45. In which part of the newspaper can we find the text? A. HEALTH. B. EDUCATION. C. CULTURE. D. TRAVEL. 【答案】42. B 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了糖尿病的基本情况和预防措施。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“people’s lifestyle is changing at the same time.”可知人们的生活方式在改变。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in developing countries.”可知近年来，发展中国家的这一数字增长更快。以中国为例。因此推知说明糖尿病问题在发展中国家日益严重。故选D。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There are things, however, that people can do to avoid it.”可知人们可以采取一些措施来避免糖尿病问题。因此是应该做什么来避免糖尿病。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知本文介绍了糖尿病的基本情况和预防措施。因此属于“健康”类。故选A。 D To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade (遮阳伞). Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient time. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power. The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 46. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________. A. a symbol of honor B. protection against the sun C. a symbol of power D. protection against the rain 47. What does the underlined word “royal” mean in Chinese? A. 王室的 B. 富裕的 C. 中产的 D. 平民的 48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life. B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the Middle Ages. C.

Nothing would have happened without Zhang Guimei, head teacher of Huaping Senior High School for Girls. The 64-year-old woman has been fighting against the unfair things girls face in the mountains for a long time. In 2001, Zhang noticed that many girls from poor families had few chances of getting education. Then the idea of starting a free school for girls came into her mind. To raise money, between 2002 and 2007, Zhang spent the summer and winter vacations on the streets asking people to give away money to her school. However, she only collected about 10,000 yuan. Later a reporter reported her story. At last, she got one million yuan from the government, and the Huaping Senior High School for Girls was opened in September, 2008. There were many difficulties at first but Zhang Guimei didn’t give up. “I want my students to go to good universities.” she said. So far, over 1,600 girls have left school and got higher education at universities. These came at the cost of Zhang’s health. When asked why she tried to help those in the mountains, Zhang said, “Education for women can influence three generations (代).” 50. Why did Zhang want to start a free girls’ school? A. To make more money. B. To raise money for the poor families. C. To help girls keep slim. D. To help girls from poor families get an education. 51. Why did Zhang succeed in setting up the school? A.

Ray was quite proud of his nice thick tail and he spent a lot of time brushing it. “I have a great tail.” Ray said. “It is the best tail that an animal can have!” One fine day in April, Ray went out. “It is a nice day to cut wood,” he said. So Ray got his tools. He cut a big tree eight times. Suddenly, the big tree fell down on top of Ray’s tail! Ray felt pain on his tail. He was very tired when he pulled it out. “My tail is flat (平的)!” Ray cried. The sun looked down at him and encouraged him, “A flat tail will help you swim faster and can also do something helpful. Just slap (拍打) it on the water,” That made Ray happy. Then Ray slapped his tail on the water. His friends came running, looking worried, and they didn’t know how to cross the river. “Maybe I can give you a ride,” said Ray. “Jump onto my tail. I will use my tail to carry you across the river.” And Ray swam happily as fast as fish swam! “Today I feel sad for my tail became flat, but I am happy that I can help others.” Ray told himself.

I was traveling in a city of Central America with a friend, and we were looking for a post office, we were standing on a street corner and did not know what the Spanish word for “post office” was. One kind man could see we were in difficulty and came up to us. We tried to explain what we were looking for, and he said, “Oh, yes, yes.” He led us down all these little streets. It seemed like we walked for miles. Finally, he pointed us to a building without any name on it. But when we went in, we found it was not a post office. When we walked out and were again standing around looking lost, a woman soon came up and asked if we needed help. Again we tried to explained where we were going. The woman said she could help us. Then we followed her to another building which also had no name and we found it was not a post office, either. At this point we decided not to listen to anybody else. But then another person came up and said, “I can help you.” We said, “No, thank you.” But he didn’t listen to us. He actually caught me by the hand and pulled me through the streets. Circling around, we came back to the first corner we had been standing on when we began. He pointed across the street, and there was the post office. 39. How many people helped the writer and his friends look for a post office in the story? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 40. How did the first kind man help them? A.

The woman led them to another wrong place because ________. A. she wanted to fool them B. she wanted to sell things C. she didn’t know the way D. she wanted to play a joke C As a country develops, its people usually enjoy better health care, drink cleaner water, and have more food. However, people’s lifestyle is changing at the same time. They have busier lives. They eat more processed food, which has more fat, salt, and sugar. As a result, the number of people with certain illnesses is increasing. Diabetes (糖尿病) is an illness that has become more common. According to the WHO the number of diabetes patients in the world rose by nearly 4% from 1980 to 2014. And the number is still rising. In the past diabetes was more common in rich countries. However, in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in developing countries. Take China for example. In 1980, less than 1% of the population in China had diabetes, but now more than one in ten Chinese over 18 have diabetes. It is possible to control diabetes with medicine but there is no cure. There are things, however, that people can do to avoid it. If they are overweight, they should try to lose weight. They should also avoid foods high in fat and sugar. People should exercise often. Besides, they should walk or ride bikes more instead of traveling by car. If people change to this healthier lifestyle, we may be able to stop the rise in diabetes in the future. 42. According to Paragraph 1, what happens as a country develops? A. People eat healthier food. B. People’s lifestyle changes. C. People get fewer illnesses. D. People’s lives are more relaxing. 43. The writer takes China for example to show that the problem of diabetes ________. A. needs to be solved at once B. is more common in rich countries C. gets little attention in some big countries D. is becoming more serious in developing countries 44. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Who may get diabetes. B. How diabetes will develop. C. What should be done to avoid diabetes. D. What medicine can help control diabetes. 45. In which part of the newspaper can we find the text? A. HEALTH. B. EDUCATION. C. CULTURE. D. TRAVEL. D To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade (遮阳伞). Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient time. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power. The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 46. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________. A. a symbol of honor B. protection against the sun C. a symbol of power D. protection against the rain 47. What does the underlined word “royal” mean in Chinese? A. 王室的 B. 富裕的 C. 中产的 D. 平民的 48.

The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient time. D. The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot during all the time. 49. What’s this passage mainly about? A. The sales of the umbrella. B. The differences among umbrellas. C. The invention of the umbrella. D. The history and use of the umbrella.
