第Ⅰ卷(选择题 共55分)
一、选择填空(共10小题,计10分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。
1. —What do you think of the English song Yesterday Once More?
—It’s __________ best song I’ve ever heard, and the singer has __________ beautiful voice.
A. a; / B. the; a C. a; a D. the; /
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得《昨日重现》那首英文歌怎么样?——这是我听过的最好的一首歌,而且这位歌手有着优美的嗓音。
考查冠词。the定冠词,表特指;a冠词,表示数量“一”,通常表示泛指,用于读音以辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前。根据句意可知,第一空格所在句表达的是最高级,形容词最高级前要加the,故排除A和C;第二空格表泛指并且beautiful的读音以辅音音素开头,使用冠词a。故选B。
2. —There ________ a dolphin show in the zoo tomorrow.
—Great! Let’s go to see it together.
A. are going to have B. are going to be C. is going to have D. is going to be
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——明天在动物园里将有一场海豚表演。——太好了!我们一起去看看吧。
考查there be句型的一般将来时。根据“There...a dolphin show in the zoo tomorrow.”可知,句子为There be句型,表示“存在”,不能使用have,排除A和C;主语“a dolphin show”是单数,be需用is,且将来时结构为is going to be,排除B。故选D。
3. We will go camping if it ________ tomorrow.
A. won’t rain B. isn’t raining C. doesn’t rain D. didn’t rain
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果明天不下雨,我们就去露营。
考查动词时态。if作为连词,引导条件状语从句。在复合句中如果主句用一般将来时,则if引导的状语从句用一般现在时。rain“下雨”,动词,因此用助动词doesn’t构成否定句,后用动词原形。故选C。
4. It’s very convenient(便利的) for us ________ train tickets now because we can buy them either from the station or on the Internet.
A. to buy B. of buying C. buying D. for buying
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:现在我们买火车票很方便,因为我们既可以在车站买,也可以在网上买。
考查非谓语动词。buy买,根据固定句型“It’s +形容词+ for sb to do sth”意为“对某人说做某事是……的”可知,应该用动词不定式形式,故选A。
5. —Would you like to attend the farewell(告别)party next week, Mr huang?
—Sure, I’d love to. I have no reason to ________ your invitation.
A. turn down B. turn off C. turn up D. turn on
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:——黄先生,你愿意参加下周的告别会吗?——当然,我很乐意。我没有理由拒绝你的邀请。
考查动词短语。turn down拒绝,调低;turn off关掉;turn up调高;turn on打开,根据前面的“Sure, I’d love to. I have no reason to”和后面的“your invitation”可知,应该是没有理由拒绝你的邀请,故选A。
6. Lily isn’t as ________ as Peter. She often makes mistakes in her composition.
A. careless B. careful C. carelessly D. carefully
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:莉莉不及彼得细心。她经常在作文中出错。
考查形容词用法。careless粗心的,形容词;careful细心的,形容词;carelessly粗心地,副词;carefully细心地,副词。根据句子结构可知第一个空应用形容词作is的表语。由后句句意可知莉莉不及彼得细心,同级比较结构not as…as中形容词用原级。故选B。
7. Computers can work out the difficult problems ________ than human beings.
A. much quickly B. more quick
C. much more quickly D. very quickly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:电脑能比人更快地算出难题。
考查副词比较级。quickly副词,快速地;more quickly副词比较级,更快地;much可修饰比较级,表示 “比……得多”;very可修饰副词原级,表示“非常”。根据语境及“than”可知,此处是将电脑和人进行比较,所以应该用副词的比较级形式,且much可修饰比较级,后面接more quickly,表示程度上的加深。故选C。
8. — ________ I borrow the paintings from you, Miss Chen?
—Sorry, you ________. These are only for members of the Art Club.
A. Could; could B. May; can’t C. Can; shouldn’t D. Can; needn’t
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——陈小姐,我可以从你那儿借这些画吗?——对不起,你不能。这些仅供艺术俱乐部的会员使用。
考查情态动词的用法。may可以,用于征求同意或表示允许;can’t不能,用于否定某种许可;could能,表委婉语气;shouldn’t不应该;needn’t不需要。根据“I borrow the paintings from you, Miss Chen?”可知,第一空使用“May/Could”请求许可;根据“Sorry”可知,第二空需否定回答,排除选项A;故第二空需can’t表示拒绝,故选B。
9. You need to practise speaking every day ________ you hope to improve your spoken English.
A. if B. although C. unless D. until
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你想提高你的英语口语,你需要每天练习口语。
考查连词辨析。if如果;although尽管;unless除非;until直到。根据“You need to practise speaking every day”以及“you hope to improve your spoken English”可知,如果想提高英语口语,就需要每天练习口语,此处为if引导的条件状语从句。故选A。
10. —Can you tell me how to use the iPhone?
—________.
A. That’s right B. Certainly C. Thank you D. Of course not
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我如何使用苹果手机吗?——当然可以
考查情景交际。That’s right那是对的;Certainly当然;Thank you谢谢;Of course not当然不。根据can you...?可知是一般疑问句,表示答应可以用“sure/certainly/of course。故选B。

My mom went to the shop with Jenny to buy some strawberries. After they came back, I started to bake. It was fun, and Jenny was watching next to me. She wanted to help me and I allowed her to put her little hands in the mixture. After a while, we started fighting because I couldn’t work well when she was next to me. I asked my mom to take her away from the kitchen.
Minutes later I put the cake into the oven. After some time, the kitchen was full of the smell of the cake. Soon the cake was baked and I had only one more thing to do. I needed to put sugar, water and strawberry juice together and then spread the mixture over the cake. Then, I asked Jenny to help me finish the last step and she was happy. At the end of the day, we enjoyed the cake together. We all thought the cake was much more delicious than any cake we bought in the supermarket.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
36. “ABCs” in this passage means _________.
A. three English letters B. a kind of banana
C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in China
37. Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because ________.
A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B. they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
C. they were born in China but go to study in America
D. they like to eat bananas
38. The underlined word “blood” may probably mean ________.
A. 洪水 B. 祖先 C. 身份 D. 血统
39. Which of the sentences is False about ABCs?
A. They are Chinese citizens. B. They are overseas Chinese.
C. They may speak little Chinese. D. ABCs may know little about China.
40. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. different kinds of bananas B. overseas Chinese
C. the Nobel Prize D. the story of C.N. Yang
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【分析】本文介绍了“ABCs”是出生在美国的中国人。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“ABC means American-born Chinese.”可知,“ABCs”指的是美国出生的中国人,故选C。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.” 可知,中国人在西方国家被称为“香蕉人”,因为他们像西方人一样思考,但是外表像中国人一样。故选B。
38题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.”可知,他们的父母,祖父母或者曾祖父母来自中国,因此表示他们的血统是中国人,故选D。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据“These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore.”可知,ABCs是另一个国家的公民,不是中国公民,A项与原文不符,故选A。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas Chinese.”可知,本文主要介绍了海外华人,故选B。

Richard thought he was poor. ____43____ “Thank you. You are a kind boy. But I’m not poor. Keep your money. I’m the richest man in town and I sometimes wear old clothes to see what people do,” the man said and gave the money back.
The man took Richard to the biggest shop in town and said, “____44____ I can buy you the most expensive one.” Richard asked, “Can I choose two?” “Of course,” answered the man.
Richard chose the newest radio because when his bird kept silent, he could at least listen to it with his friends. ____45____

B. He then chose a new pair of glasses for the man.
C. But Richard thinks he is the luckiest boy in the world.

E. He decided not to buy the ice-cream and gave the money to the man.
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. E 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文通过讲述“不幸”的男孩Richard 的经历,展现了他乐观善良的性格——尽管生活中总有小插曲,但他始终认为自己是最幸运的人。文章通过Richard帮助老人的故事,突出了“善良带来温暖与回报”的主题,同时传递了“乐观面对生活”的积极态度。
【41题详解】
根据上文“Richard is the unluckiest boy in the world. He hardly ever falls ill, but if he falls ill, it is on the weekend.”可知,Richard是世界上最不幸的男孩,几乎不生病,但生病总在周末,此处需延续“不幸”的具体事例,保持逻辑连贯;选项D“他是个好学生,但考试时钢笔总会坏。”与前文“生病在周末”的“倒霉”场景一致,都是“关键时刻掉链子”的不幸事件,符合语境。故选D。
【42题详解】
根据上文“He hardly ever falls ill, but if he falls ill, it is on the weekend… His bird sings very well, but when he asks his friends to listen to it, the bird becomes silent.”和下文“He has wonderful parents and a lovely sister. He has a singing bird. His classmates are friendly. Richard is always happy and he is kind.”可知,上文列举了Richard“生病在周末”、“鸟在朋友面前变安静”等一系列“不幸”经历,而下文转而介绍他拥有的幸福生活,前后形成鲜明转折,此处需填入过渡句体现这种反差;选项C“但Richard认为自己是世界上最幸运的男孩。”用“but”承接前文的“不幸”,引出下文的“幸运”,顺畅衔接上下文,突出Richard乐观的性格,符合逻辑。故选C。
【43题详解】
根据上文“When he arrived at the ice-cream shop, he saw an old man outside it. He had old clothes and terrible glasses, and he looked hungry. Richard thought he was poor.”可知,Richard看到老人穿着旧衣服、戴着破旧的眼镜,看起来很饿,他觉得老人很穷,此处需承接这一心理,体现Richard的善良行为;选项E“他决定不买冰淇淋,把钱给了老人。”是Richard同情老人后的自然行为,与上文“善良”的性格设定一致,同时为下文老人的回应埋下伏笔,符合情节发展。故选E。
【44题详解】
根据“The man took Richard to the biggest shop in town and said, ‘… I can buy you the most expensive one.”可知,老人带Richard去镇上最大的商店,并说“我可以给你买最贵的”,此处需体现老人让Richard挑选礼物的动作,衔接下文“我能选两个吗”的提问;选项A“选任何你喜欢的东西。”直接回应了“买最贵的”,同时引出Richard“选两个”的请求,符合对话逻辑和情节发展。故选A。
【45题详解】
根据上文“Richard chose the newest radio because when his bird kept silent, he could at least listen to it with his friends.”可知,Richard选了“最新的收音机”,原因是“鸟不唱歌时可以和朋友一起听”,此处需承接“选两个”的请求,说明第二个礼物是什么,且要呼应前文老人的形象;选项B“然后他给老人选了一副新眼镜。”既满足了“选两个”的要求,又呼应了前文老人“戴着破旧的眼镜”的细节,体现了Richard的善良,让故事结尾更完整温暖,符合情节逻辑。故选B。

句意:所以我在空闲时间坚持练习画画,但是Jane最喜欢的科目是英语,因为她喜欢唱英文歌。句子时态为一般现在时,主语“she”是第三人称单数,谓语动词 enjoy需用三单形式enjoys。故填enjoys。
【55题详解】
句意:我希望我们的梦想明年能够实现!由时间状语“in the next year”可知,句子可用一般将来时will come;也可用情态动词can表“能够”,即can come,表达“希望梦想能够实现”的意愿。故填will/can come。

After Brett opened the door of the plane, he fell into the cold water. He couldn’t swim because he wore a heavy jacket. He struggled (努力) for about ten minutes to keep his head out of the water.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Li Wen,
I’m sorry to hear that these days you have some problems. I’m willing to help you.
I know you are shy and you don’t have many friends. It’s true that it is not easy for you to make friends if you are not outgoing enough. I think you can take part in some activities so that you can make more friends who have the same interest as you. And you don’t need a lot of friends as long as they’re good. Also, you hardly do sports. I think it’s not good for your health. To keep healthy, you should do more sports such as playing volleyball with your friends or classmates once a week. What’s more, you can’t get good grades if you don’t have a study plan. I think it’s a bad habit. If you want to improve your grades, you should make a weekly plan and try your best to study hard. That’s all of my idea for you.
I hope that you can feel better soon.
Yours,
Tina

How do you spend your free time? Dancing, watching TV, or doing something else? For me, baking is always the favorite thing to do. Last Saturday I wanted to bake something, so I found some recipes(食谱) on the Internet and had a really good idea. I decided to bake a strawberry cake!
My mom went to the shop with Jenny to buy some strawberries. After they came back, I started to bake. It was fun, and Jenny was watching next to me. She wanted to help me and I allowed her to put her little hands in the mixture. After a while, we started fighting because I couldn’t work well when she was next to me. I asked my mom to take her away from the kitchen.
Minutes later I put the cake into the oven. After some time, the kitchen was full of the smell of the cake. Soon the cake was baked and I had only one more thing to do. I needed to put sugar, water and strawberry juice together and then spread the mixture over the cake. Then, I asked Jenny to help me finish the last step and she was happy. At the end of the day, we enjoyed the cake together. We all thought the cake was much more delicious than any cake we bought in the supermarket.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
36. “ABCs” in this passage means _________.
A. three English letters B. a kind of banana
C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in China
37. Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because ________.
A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B. they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
C. they were born in China but go to study in America
D. they like to eat bananas
38. The underlined word “blood” may probably mean ________.
A. 洪水 B. 祖先 C. 身份 D. 血统
39. Which of the sentences is False about ABCs?
A. They are Chinese citizens. B. They are overseas Chinese.
C. They may speak little Chinese. D. ABCs may know little about China.
40. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. different kinds of bananas B. overseas Chinese
C. the Nobel Prize D. the story of C.N. Yang
