A. mustn’t B. have to C. needn’t D. must 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他们必须这周一还这辆玩具卡车吗？——不，他们没必要。但他们必须在周四归还。 考查情态动词。mustn’t禁止；have to必须，不得不；needn’t没必要，不必；must必须。 根据“Must”开头的一般疑问句的否定回答，常用“No, …needn’t”，故选C。 22.

A. gives up; keeping B. giving up; keeping C. giving up; keep D. give up; keeping 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆过去常常放弃。但现在他习惯坚持做所有事情。 考查动词短语。gives up放弃，第三人称单数形式；giving up放弃，动名词形式；give up放弃，动词原形；keeping保持，动名词形式；keep保持，动词原形。used to后接动词原形，表示过去的习惯，give up符合语境；get used to后接动名词形式，表示习惯于某事，keeping符合语境。故选D。 23. This is the first birthday gift ________ I have received. I’ve kept it for many years. A. that B. who C. what D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这是第一个我收到的生日礼物。我已经保存它很多年了。 考查定语从句的关系代词。 that关系代词，即指人也指物，充当主语、宾语、表语；who谁，关系代词，只指人，充当主语、宾语；what 什么，不用于定语从句；which关系代词，既指人也指物，充当主语、宾语。分析句子“This is the first birthday gift…I have received.”可知，该从句是定语从句，可排除C选项，且先行词“the first birthday gift”表示物，且被序数词first修饰，关系代词在从句中作宾语，只能用that。故选A。 24. —Did Linda ________ her parents when she was a child? —Yes.

A. pay attention to B. look up to C. look forward to D. talk back to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——当Linda还是个孩子时，她顶撞了她的父母吗？——是的。但现在她意识到她真的错了。 考查动词短语辨析。pay attention to注意（中性行为）；look up to尊敬（正面行为）；look forward to期待（正面行为）；talk back to顶撞（负面行为）。根据答句“But now she realizes she was really wrong”可知，Linda小时候的行为是错误的、负面的。故选D。 25.

A. received; accept B. accepts; accept C. accepted; receive D. received; receive 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个男孩今天早上从一个陌生人那里收到了一个梨，但是他没有接受它。 考查动词时态和辨析。receive动词原形；received过去式；accept动词原形；accepted过去式。receive指客观“收到”某物；accept 指主观“接受”。根据“this morning”可知，句子时态是一般过去时，谓语动词应该使用过去式，第一空表示男孩客观“收到”梨，应该使用received；第二空表示男孩没有主观“接受”梨，此处在didn’t后，应该使用动词原形accept。故选A。 26. —Anxi is ________ the City of Tea, right? —Yes. Besides drinks, tea can ________ different kinds of food. A. famous as; be made of B. famous for; be made from C. famous as; be made into D. famous with; be made in 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——安溪是作为茶都而闻名，对吗？——是的。除了饮料，茶可以被制成不同种类的食物。 考查动词短语。famous as作为……而闻名，强调身份或称号，be made of由……制成；famous for因……而闻名，强调原因，be made from由……制成（原材料不可见）；famous as作为……而闻名，强调身份或称号，be made into被制成……；famous with表达错误，be made in在……地方制造。根据句意，安溪被称作“茶都”，是一种称号，故用“famous as”。第二个空，根据句意，茶作为原材料时被转化为食物，故用“be made into”。故选C。 27.

A. lie; lie B. lie; lay C. lay; lies D. lay; lay 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要整天躺在床上！起来帮我摆出食物给你饥饿的孩子吃。 考查动词辨析。lie躺；lay放置；lie的过去式。第一个空根据“Don’t …in bed all day!”可知，表示躺在床上，且时态为一般现在时，应用动词原形lie；第二个空根据“Get up and help me …out the food for your hungry children to eat.”可知，表示摆出食物，应用动词lay。故选B。 28. Linda is studying hard ________ she can get better grades in the final exam. A. in order to B. such as C. so that D. because 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：琳达正在努力学习，以便她能在期末考试中取得更好的成绩。 考查词汇辨析。in order to为了，表目的，后接动词原形；such as例如，用于列举；so that以便，表目的，后接句子；because因为，表原因。根据“Linda is studying hard”和“she can get better grades”可知，努力学习是为了取得好成绩，此处应用so that引导目的状语从句。故选C。 29. —How was your trip to Mount Bijia in Hejiang last weekend? —Fantastic!

A. excited, amazed B. excite; amazed C. exciting; amazing D. excited; amazing 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——上周末你去合江笔架山的旅行怎么样？——太棒了！我很兴奋能参观这样一座令人惊叹的山。 考查形容词辨析。excited感到兴奋的，修饰人； amazed感到惊奇的，修饰人；excite使兴奋，动词原形；exciting令人兴奋的，形容词，修饰物；amazing令人惊叹的，形容词，修饰物。分析句子“I was…to visit such an…mountain.”可知，第一空应填入形容词，作表语，故排除B，且主语是“I”，所以应用exited作表语，指“我”很兴奋；第二空应填入amazing，作定语，修饰名词mountain，指一座令人惊叹的山。故选D。 30. —Dale, could you please tell me ________ when I meet someone for the first time? —Why not ________ your new teacher? A. what am I supposed to do ; to ask B. why am I supposed to do; to ask C. what I am supposed to do; ask D. why I am supposed to do; ask 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Dale，你能告诉我当我第一次见到某人时我应该做什么吗？——为什么不问问你的新老师？ 考查宾语从句的语序和“Why not”的用法。第一个空在“could you please tell me”后引导宾语从句，需用陈述语序（主语+谓语），且此处询问该做什么，应用what引导而非why；第二个空“Why not”后应接动词原形表示建议。故选C。 第二节、完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) One day, a little boy asked his father, “What does the word ‘great’ mean?

I love the National Day holiday a lot, because I can have a good rest and do many things I enjoy. How did I spend the seven-day holiday last year? I didn’t travel or visit friends. Instead, I found a part-time job. That was the first time I had been a waiter. It was harder than I had thought. At first, I was not good at the job, and I nearly spilt (洒出) the soup on a woman’s dress. Some people were very unfriendly, and they got angry with me because of my mistakes. I was so upset and tired that I was almost ready to give up the first afternoon. A family with three children came to have dinner the next day. The children were asking for things all the time. I tried my best to serve them well. Then the father said to me, “Good job! Thank you very much for helping us.” His words were just like a light in the dark. My tiredness suddenly went away. In the following days, I got used to the job little by little, and I had fun working in the restaurant. When I got the money at last, I felt very happy. The experience taught me that many jobs are not easy. Everyone is great when they are working hard. The most important thing I learned is how much praise matters to people.

The water cycle is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In this article, we will explore the water cycle and discuss its importance for the earth. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (水蒸气). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to the earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems.When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought. Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our planet cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay flowing with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our earth. And that is a responsibility we should take on. 61. Which season might have the most active water cycle in China? A. Summer. B. Spring. C. Winter. D. Autumn. 62. Which is the right order of the water cycle according to the text? ① Water returns to the ground.          ② Rain or snow falls down. ③ Water vapour rises up.                 ④ Clouds are formed in the sky. A. ④③②① B. ④②③① C. ③④②① D. ③②④① 63. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Earth’s climate. B. Drinking water. C. Water vapour. D. The water cycle. 64. What does the word “drought” mean in Chinese? A. 洪水 B. 泥石流 C. 旱灾 D. 山体滑坡 65. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To inspire people to get close to nature. B. To encourage people to save water. C To ask people to water plants. D. To call on people to protect our planet 【答案】61. B 62. C 63. D 64. C 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了水循环的过程，以及它对地球生态、气候的重要作用。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China.”可知，中国的水循环在3月到6月（春季）最为活跃。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The water cycle always begins with water vapour... As water vapour rises into the sky（③）,it cools down and becomes clouds（④）.After that,clouds travel through the sky and fall back to the earth as rain or snow（②）.Then,water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again（①）.”可知，水循环的正确顺序是“水汽上升→形成云→降雨/雪→水回归地面”，即③④②①。故选C。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段开头“The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy.”可知，此处“it”指代的是前文提到的“the water cycle（水循环）”。故选D。 64题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When there is too much water in one place,it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need,it becomes a drought.”可知，前半句“水过多会形成洪水”，后半句对应“缺水时会形成旱灾”，因此“drought”的意思是“旱灾”。故选C。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding the water cycle can help us... develop better methods to protect our earth.And that is a responsibility we should take on.”可知，作者写最后一段是为了呼吁人们保护地球。故选D。 第二部分(非选择题共35分) 四、短文语法填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给词的适当形式。 It’s believed that chopsticks have been around for thousands of years.

The water cycle is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In this article, we will explore the water cycle and discuss its importance for the earth. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (水蒸气). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to the earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems.When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought. Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our planet cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay flowing with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our earth. And that is a responsibility we should take on. 61.
