This is ________ most wonderful show in this theater and it’s such ________ educational show. A. /; the B. a; the C. the; an D. the; the 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这是这家剧院里最精彩的演出，而且它是一场很有教育意义的演出。 考查冠词的用法。/ 不填；the表特指；a用于辅音音素开头的单词前；an用于元音音素开头的单词前。第一个空，“most wonderful”形容词最高级，在形容词最高级前要用定冠词“the”；第二个空，这里表示一场有教育意义的演出，是泛指，要用不定冠词，“educational”的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以用“an”。故选C。 2. —________ do you visit your grandparents? —Once a week. A. How far B. How long C. How soon D. How often 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你多久去看望你的祖父母一次？ ——一周一次。 考查特殊疑问句。How far多远；How long多久；How soon多久以后；How often多久一次。根据答语“Once a week.”可知，此处是询问对方去看望祖父母的频率，应用疑问词How often。故选D。 3. My trip to the countryside was great. I did ________ there. A. something interesting B. interesting anything C. anything interesting D. interesting something 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的乡村之旅很棒。我在那里做了一些有趣的事情。 考查不定代词和形容词的位置。something某事；anything任何事。根据“My trip to the countryside was great.”可知，应该说在那里做了一些有趣的事情，为肯定句，形容词修饰something或anything时应后置，且肯定句中用something。故选A。 4. Jack often talks ________ but does ________. So all of us think he is a good boy. A. little; many B. few; much C. less; more D. more; less 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：杰克经常说得少但做得多。所以我们都认为他是个好男孩。 考查副词比较级辨析。little少，后接不可数名词或修饰动词；few少，形容词修饰可数名词；much多，可修饰动词或不可数名词；less更少，副词比较级修饰动词或形容词比较级修饰不可数名词；more更多，副词比较级修饰动词或形容词比较级修饰不可数名词。根据句意可知，杰克说得少做得多，C项less“更少”和more“更多”，均为副词比较级，前后短语对应，修饰动词，符合语境。故选C。 5. Quan Hongchan, a Chinese girl, is one of ________ in the 2024 Paris Olympics held in France. A. the most famous player B. the most famous players C the most famous actress D. the most famous actresses 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：全红婵是一位中国女孩，她是2024年法国巴黎奥运会中最著名的运动员之一。 考查“one of”后接复数名词的语法结构以及名词辨析。the most famous player最著名的运动员，单数形式；the most famous players最著名的运动员们，复数形式；the most famous actress最著名的女演员，单数形式；the most famous actresses最著名的女演员们，复数形式。根据“Quan Hongchan, a Chinese girl, is one of… in the 2024 Paris Olympics held in France.”可知，全红婵是体育运动员，而非演员，且one of the+最高级+名词复数，意为“最……之一”。故选B。 6. I think reading Chinese ancient poems (古诗词) ________ wonderful for students. A. looks B. feels C. seems D. tastes 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为读中国古诗词对学生来说似乎很棒。 考查感官动词辨析。looks看起来；feels感觉起来；seems似乎，好像；tastes尝起来。根据“I think reading Chinese ancient poems (古诗词)…wonderful for students.”可知，主语是动名词短语reading Chinese ancient poems，这是一个抽象的概念，不能被直接“看”、“感觉”或“品尝”。seems可以用来表达对事物的推测或看法，其主语可以是抽象概念。主语是动名词短语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式seems。故选C。 7. ________ he has the same age as me, I am not so ________ as him. A. Although; taller B. Although; tall C. However; tall D. However; taller 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管他和我年龄相同，但我不像他那么高。 考查although引导让步状语从句和形容词用法。Although尽管，引导让步状语从句；However然而，是副词，不能直接引导从句。该句是让步状语从句，应用Although，“not so...as”表示“不如……那样……”，中间需用形容词原级tall，故选B。 8. At the party, Lucy ________ like a Mickey Mouse to make us ________. A. dressed up; happy B. dressed up; happily C. dressed on; happy D. dressed on; happily 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在聚会上，露西打扮成米老鼠的样子，让我们开心。 考查动词短语和形容词、副词辨析。dressed up乔装打扮；dressed on搭配错误；happy高兴的；happily高兴地。根据句意可知，露西打扮成米老鼠的样子，让我们开心，dress up like为固定短语，意为“打扮成”，make sb.+adj.表示使某人处于某种状态，此处happy为形容词，描述宾语us的状态，作宾语补足语。故选A。 9. —Do you and your sister like comedies, Linda? —Yes. ________ of us think they are relaxing. A. Neither B. Both C. Either D. None 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——琳达，你和你妹妹喜欢喜剧吗？——是的。我们俩都认为它们很放松。 考查代词辨析。Neither两者都不；Both两者都；Either两者中的任何一个；None没有一个。根据上文“Yes”表示肯定回答，且指代琳达和妹妹两人，故用Both表示“两者都”。故选B。 10. —Mum, I got the first prize in the singing competition. —_______. My girl! A. Good luck B. My pleasure C. It’s hard to say D. You did a good job 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，我在唱歌比赛中得了第一名。——你做得很好。我的女儿！ 考查情景交际。Good luck祝你好运；My pleasure我的荣幸；It’s hard to say很难说；You did a good job你做得很好。根据“Mum, I got the first prize in the singing competition.”可知，孩子获得第一名，妈妈应该表示鼓励，所以D选项“你做得很好”符合语境。故选D。 IV. 完型填空 (共20小题，计20分) 第一节：(共10小题，计10分) 阅读下面一篇短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。 Taotao, a 17-year-old boy, has cerebral palsy (脑瘫).

He lived during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. And he is the writer of the great book Shangshu, one of the “five classics” of Confucianism (儒学五部经典). Here is a TV show which leads the audience (观众) to read the classics in a popular way. The TV show is China in the Classics, a wonderful program played by China Central Television. In its first episode, Fu Sheng’s story was turned into a play. After watching it, people not only took great interest in him, but also were greatly moved by a man’s strength to protect and pass on a country’s spirit (精神). It was not an easy task for Tian Qinxin, head of the National Theater of China and the director (导演) of the show, to turn a classic into a one-hour show that connects with the people of today. However, she made it and the show got high praise (赞扬) from people. The 11-episode show focused on one classic Chinese book of ancient times in each episode, letting rich history shake hands with modern expressions. Many people thought the TV show made classics “alive”. “Through the classics, we can see the basics of modern China,” said Tian. “No matter how human history has developed, they still have a great influence on us. The classics tell us not to forget our past and explain where our cultural confidence comes from.” 34. We can know from the first paragraph that ________. A. Fu Sheng was a stranger to us. B. People aren’t interested in the TV show. C. Fu Sheng wrote the book, Shangshu. D. The TV show was about the five classics. 35. What does underlined word “episode” in this passage mean? A. One part of a story that is played on TV. B. A time that is special in one’s life. C. A situation of life that is in a funny novel. D. One event (大事件) of a book that is on the radio. 36. The writer ends the passage with ________. A. a conversation B. a real story C. Chinese people’s feelings D. the director’s words 【答案】34. C 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过讲述伏生保护《尚书》的故事及央视节目《典籍里的中国》的创新呈现，揭示了经典对中国文化传承的重要性，强调其跨越时空的现代价值。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And he is the writer of the great book Shangshu, one of the ‘five classics’ of Confucianism (儒学五部经典).”可知，伏生是《尚书》的作者。故选C。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The TV show is China in the Classics, a wonderful program played by China Central Television. In its first episode, Fu Sheng’s story was turned into a play.”可知，“episode”指电视节目中独立的“一集”，对应“One part of a story that is played on TV”。故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段直接引用导演的话“Through the classics, we can see the basics of modern China… explain where our cultural confidence comes from”可知，作者以导演的观点总结全文，强调经典的现实意义。故选D。 C ①For the fourth time, Finland (芬兰) is reported as the happiest country in the world. This may be surprising to you because Finland is famous for its cold winters and short daylight. Let’s learn about the people’s life there and you may find the answer. ②In Finland, many people grow up going to the library. “The library is a main part of life for the people here,” Halsas, a tour guide in Finland, said. “They might do schoolwork there or just read. It’s a safe environment.” Perhaps the best example of this in practice is the Oodi Helsinki Central Library, which opened in 2018. The bright, open space has different areas. It was built to be a work space, but also a living room for the people. ③Finns love their saunas (桑拿浴), and almost every home or apartment has one. The number of Finns is about 5.5 million, and there are over 2 million saunas in the country. Taking saunas is quite good for physical health, such as improving heart health and more. ④Finns also love outdoor activities. They love to go hiking or biking because the view is fantastic. “There is a lot of nature to enjoy and even private lands are open to everyone.” Halsas said. In winter, life doesn’t change too much from summertime because Finns get used to the cold and still get around on bicycles. To them, winter just means added activities, such as ice skating, cross-country skiing, and dog sledding. 37. What does the underlined word “This” in Para. 1 refer to? A. It’s so cold in winter in Finland. B. The daylight in Finland is short. C. Finland is famous around the world. D. Finland became the world’s happiest country again. 38. What do you think of people’s life in Finland? A. Unhappy, dangerous, and lonely. B. Comfortable, exciting but difficult. C. Comfortable, relaxing and healthy. D. Interesting, wonderful but dangerous. 39. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④ B. ①/②/③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①/②/③/④ 40. What's the purpose of this passage? A. To talk about the different seasons in Finland. B. To tell us the secret of Finns’ happiness. C. To ask more people to visit Finland. D. To introduce the outdoor activities in Finland. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍芬兰第四次被评为世界最幸福的国家，从多方面阐述芬兰人幸福生活的秘诀。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“For the fourth time, Finland (芬兰) is reported as the happiest country in the world. This may be surprising to you...”可知，“This”指代的是芬兰再次被评为世界上最幸福的国家这件事，故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“library is a main part of life...It’s a safe environment”、“Taking saunas is quite good for physical health”、“love outdoor activities...the view is fantastic”可知，芬兰人喜欢去图书馆、爱桑拿、热爱户外活动，这些生活方式让他们的生活舒适、放松且健康，故选C。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。结合全文可知，第一段总体引出芬兰是世界上最幸福的国家这一话题，后面二、三、四段分别从图书馆、桑拿、户外活动等方面阐述芬兰人幸福的原因，所以结构是①/②③④，故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕芬兰人幸福的原因展开，介绍了他们的生活方式等，目的是告诉我们芬兰人幸福的秘诀，故选B。 第二节： (共5小题，计5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In most situations, light helps us to see.

And he is the writer of the great book Shangshu, one of the “five classics” of Confucianism (儒学五部经典). Here is a TV show which leads the audience (观众) to read the classics in a popular way. The TV show is China in the Classics, a wonderful program played by China Central Television. In its first episode, Fu Sheng’s story was turned into a play. After watching it, people not only took great interest in him, but also were greatly moved by a man’s strength to protect and pass on a country’s spirit (精神). It was not an easy task for Tian Qinxin, head of the National Theater of China and the director (导演) of the show, to turn a classic into a one-hour show that connects with the people of today. However, she made it and the show got high praise (赞扬) from people. The 11-episode show focused on one classic Chinese book of ancient times in each episode, letting rich history shake hands with modern expressions.
