【解析】
【详解】句意:Carlo Urbani是第一位警告世界关于后来被称为SARS的疾病的医生。他还警告人们不要忽视它的危害。
考查动词短语和动词不定式。warn sb of强调警告潜在的危险或威胁;warn sb about强调警告的具体内容或细节 (如疾病、事件等)。根据“warn the world...the disease that became known as SARS”可知,题干中指的是“警告世界关于SARS这种疾病”,涉及具体事物 (SARS),因此用“about”更贴切;warn sb not to do sth意为“警告某人不要做某事”,因此第二个空处应用不定式。故选C。

A. comes B. has come C. will come D. came

【解析】
【详解】句意:请告诉Daisy明天下午一回到上海就给我打电话。
考查动词时态。在时间状语从句中,如果主句是祈使句或一般将来时,从句要用一般现在时表示将来。本句中“as soon as”引导时间状语从句,主句是祈使句,因此从句用一般现在时,主语“she”是第三人称单数,动词用第三人称单数形式comes。故选A。
12. That tech company always develops amazing new products to keep customers ________.
A. excite B. exciting C. excited D. excitement
【答案】C

A. looked; was B. looked; stole C. was looking; stole D. was looking; was stealing
【答案】C

考查动词时态。while引导的时间状语从句强调一个持续动作作为背景,从句动作用过去进行时 (was looking),主句动作用一般过去时 (stole),表示在持续动作中发生的短暂动作。A项“looked; was”中“was”不完整,语法错误;B项从句用一般过去时,不符合while的典型用法;D项主句用过去进行时,但“偷”是短暂动作,通常不用进行时。故选C。
14. —May I hand in the plan of the project tomorrow?
—Yes, of course. You ________ give it to me today.
A. shouldn’t B. needn’t C. mustn’t D. can’t

A. How B. What C. What a D. What an
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:近年来许多国家都经历了多么极端天气状况啊!
考查感叹句。根据“... extreme weather conditions many countries have experienced in recent years!”可知,此句为感叹句,感叹句有两种结构,what修饰名词或名词短语,结构为“What+(a/an)+形容词+名词+主语+谓语!”;how修饰形容词或副词,结构为“How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语!”。本句中“extreme weather conditions”是名词短语,且“conditions”是复数形式,所以应该用what来引导感叹句,不需要冠词。故选B。
17. You must have ________ the book ________.
A. forgotten; somewhere else B. left; somewhere else C. left; somewhere other D. forgotten; anywhere else
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你一定把书忘在别处了。
考查动词辨析和地点副词用法。forgotten忘记(某事);left遗忘(在某个地方);somewhere else别的地方,通常用于肯定句;somewhere other错误表达;anywhere else其他任何地方,通常用于否定句或疑问句。第一空描述书的去向(位置),应用left;该句为肯定句,第二空应用somewhere else。故选B。

A. ten-minute B. ten minute’s C. ten minutes D. ten minutes’
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们学校离这里只有十分钟的步行路程。
考查名词所有格用法。ten-minute十分钟的,复合形容词,作定语时需与a连用,如a ten-minute walk;ten minute’s语法错误;ten minutes十分钟;ten minutes’十分钟的。此处应用名词所有格形式,修饰walk,D项符合。故选D。

A. connect with B. connected to C. connect to D. connected with
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:确保你的手机连接到Wi-Fi。
考查被动语态和固定搭配。connect with与……联系,动词原形,不符合语法;connected to连接到,为固定短语,常用于设备与网络的连接;connect to连接到,动词原形,不能用于be动词后;connected with与……连接,多用于抽象关系,不适用于网络连接场景。根据“Make sure your phone is...the Wi-Fi.”可知,此处表示手机“被连接”,“is”后需接过去分词表示被动状态,故选B。

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance (提前). However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre (卢浮宫), there had been a very long l____50____.

【54题详解】
句意:当我欣赏卢浮宫的其他艺术品时,我几乎是独自一人。根据“Behind me, the queue slowly moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.”可知,参观《蒙娜丽莎》的人一批一批地快速离开,所以欣赏其他艺术品时几乎是“独自一人”,用“alone”作表语。故填alone。

As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 pm and his parents worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.
Today, Alain Robert still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101 (one of the tallest buildings in the world at that time) and in 2011 he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. To reach the top of a building, Robert uses only his hands and special shoes. To climb the Burj Khalifa Tower, though, he was made to wear safety ropes.
Robert climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity—for children and the homeless. Climbing is his passion. Although many climbing accidents have left him seriously disabled, he has become one of the best solo climbers in the world. When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream—something you really want to do—it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it”.
