I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we’ve got older, we’ve become closer, and I’ve learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn’t realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He’s helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It’s always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you’re lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he’s certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I’ve realized from my brother that I needn’t speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
24. What can we know about the author’s childhood according to paragraph 1?
A. The author thought the four-year gap made them distant.
B. The author had to do a lot of work for her brother.
C. There was a lot of fighting between the author and her brother.
D. The author often beat her brother.
25. What does the author’s brother pay most attention to?
A. New art forms. B. Creativity. C. New instruments. D. Talents.
26. What is the difference between the author and her brother?
A The attitude to hard times. B. The ability of studying.
C. The aim of future. D. The way to spend time.
27. What can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A Depressed. B. Attractive. C. Favorite. D. Quiet.
C
Habitat loss, pesticides (农药) and climate change are threatening insect populations worldwide. In 2019, Biological Conservation reported that 40% of all insects species are declining (减少) globally and that a third of them are endangered.
And while it may sound nice to live in a world with fewer bad insects, environmental writer Oliver Milman says that human beings would be in big trouble without insects. That’s because insects play important roles in pollinating (给……授粉) plants we eat, breaking down waste in forest soil and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals-including humans-rely upon.
“It would be an extremely terrible place to live in-and certainly not something we should ever aim for,” Milman says of an insect-free existence. “You would certainly have mass starvation and social unrest...It’d be a place where there would be smelly waste and dead bodies everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be gone.”
Milman charts the troubling decline of insects in his new book, The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World. He says that while it’s impossible to know exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world, the overall trends are not good: The butterfly population in North America has declined quickly in the past 40 years, for example, and a U.N. assessment done in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction, some in the coming decades.
“The world, our surroundings, would be far quieter, far duller without insects,” he, says. “When you start kind of digging down into these figures looking at the research, it’s clear that there’s something seriously wrong...There is a straight decline in most insect populations, and that spells major trouble for them but also for us.”
28. What should be the proper opinion about the insects according to the passage?
A. They can benefit the growth of plants. B. They can prevent plants from harvesting.
C. They are harmful to humans. D. They can produce a lot of waste.
29. What does Milman probably agree with?
A. The insects might make the world a terrible place to live in.
B. The insects might make much trouble to the dead bodies.
C. People would certainly have mass starvation with an insect-free existence.
D. The insects might produce too much smelly waste.
30. How did Milman prove the serious situation of the insects?
A. By comparing two insects. B. By giving some examples.
C. By analyzing the data. D. By using his research.
31. What Milman’s attitude to the future of insects?
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
D
This may be the 21st century but when it comes to information communication technology(ICT), the gender(性别)divide between boys and girls, shows no sign of closing.
This is bad news for the ICT industry where men outnumber women by over five to one; the industry needs at least an extra million recruits(新成员)over the next five years. Obviously, women as well as men are going to have to fill these recruitment gaps(空缺).The ICT companies are worried about the shortage of men and women to fill their gaps in the future.
It is believed that women are very well suited to working in ICT-they enjoy working in teams and like looking for creative connections. Many women have the kind of personal skills which are considered important to develop “new technology”. Professionals who work in Information Technology are constantly creating the world around us, and this can’t be done if you don’t know how people work and how they play.
In spite of the fact that ICT jobs are well paid and women are more likely to do well in them, findings show that girls’ opinions of the industry are uniformly negative. Only 5% would consider entering the ICT industry compared to 14% for law and 26% for medicine. Up to the age of 11 girls see ICT as entertaining and interesting but after that age negativity sets in; by the age of 13,this negative view of ICT is confirmed.
After school activities encourage some girls to use Information Technology, and getting ICT staff and other teachers together helps to develop imaginative use of ICT. Imaginative use of ICT especially in music, art, drama, geography and media studies, all helps to open girls’ eyes to the fact that careers in computing can cut across so many different areas.
Students complete the same class task by rote(死记硬背)in the ICT class. Although girls follow successfully, they will achieve enjoyment and excellence if allowed to diversify and be creative. For girls, just pressing buttons is not enough.
Another method is setting up computer clubs aimed at younger girls aged 8 to 14. This is known to inspire girIs to develop their ICT skills and to show them that ICT can be both creative and interesting.
We can’t afford to have girls missing out.
32. What do we know about ICT?
A. It has a serious division between male and female.
B. The ICT companies don’t need to hire more workers.
C. ICT is a more promising career than the cause of law.
D. ICT attracts more women to join in because of its high salary.
33. Why are women more suitable for ICT?
A. Because of their high skills of studying.
B. Because of their creativity of new games.
C. Because their responsibility for their career.
D. Because of their spirit for teamwork and exploration.
34. What will make girls more interested in ICT?
A. Completing the class task by rote in the ICT class.
B. Making competitions in ICT class.
C. Developing imaginative use of ICT.
D. Connecting ICT to their scores.
35. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. The ICT will have a promising future. B. Some measures to attract girls into ICT.
C. The advantages of ICT over medicine. D. The differences between ICT and law.

Miss White was a smiling, beautiful, young lady. For the first time in his young life, Steve couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. In the middle of the first term, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things, as the day passed slowly. One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve!” Startled(吓了一跳), he turned to look at her. “Pay attention!” She began to go over the test results. “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated, pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare. “The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”
After that, Steve still couldn’t do his homework. “Just try it,” Miss White said one day. “Steve! Please! I care about you!” Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Someone, so beautiful and perfect, cared about him?! Steve went home from school, thoughtful that afternoon and decided to work hard.
注意:

【解析】
【原文】M: Hi, professor. I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you’re not too busy. I’m having some problems getting started on my paper and hoping you could give me some advice.
W: Sure. Can you remind me what your topic is?
M: The general topic I chose is beauty. But that’s as far as I’ve got. I don’t really know where to go from there.
W: Yeah, that’s much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible. Otherwise you’ll be writing a book.
M: Exactly. That’s what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. I’m really more interested in nature than beauty.
W: I’m afraid you have to stick to the assigned topic. Still, since you’re interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your paper. We’ve talked about Hume in our class, right?
M: Oh, yeah. He’s the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from.
W: Exactly. I suggest you search for some information about him in the library and start from there.
M: Great. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, professor.
W: If there’s anything else you need, please come to see me in my office at any time.

【原文】Nicholas Sparks is an American author and storyteller whose books have consistently been turned into major Hollywood films. Although not all of his books were sold to Hollywood, all have been the New York Times bestsellers. He has sold over ninety-seven million copies worldwide, with over sixty-five million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In 2011 he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. Sparks has had a very successful career and he owes that to education. “The education I received prepared me for the world I would be facing in the future,” he said. Even though he is worth an estimated seventy-five million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books.

I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we’ve got older, we’ve become closer, and I’ve learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn’t realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He’s helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It’s always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you’re lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he’s certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I’ve realized from my brother that I needn’t speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
24. What can we know about the author’s childhood according to paragraph 1?
A. The author thought the four-year gap made them distant.
B. The author had to do a lot of work for her brother.
C. There was a lot of fighting between the author and her brother.
D. The author often beat her brother.
25. What does the author’s brother pay most attention to?

26. What is the difference between the author and her brother?
A. The attitude to hard times. B. The ability of studying.
C. The aim of future. D. The way to spend time.
27. What can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Depressed. B. Attractive. C. Favorite. D. Quiet.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】

It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.(在我成长的过程中,我和弟弟之间有四年的时间差,这是一个年龄上的差距,可以让我们随着年龄的增长保持亲密,但也是一个年龄上的差距,让我们以完全不同的方式过自己的生活。当我还是个小女孩的时候,有一个弟弟是一件很辛苦的事情,因为有很多的争吵与斗争。)”可知,作者和她弟弟在小时候经常争吵。故选 C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments.

26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.(如果你和他说话,一次能从他嘴里套出三个字就很幸运了。正因为如此,他肯定学到了‘行动胜于雄辩’的道理。但是,我从我弟弟那里意识到,我不需要用语言来打破沉默。有时候,有必要花一些时间沉默,并在其中反思。)” 可推知 introverted 应指“少话沉默的,安静的”。故选 D项。

Habitat loss, pesticides (农药) and climate change are threatening insect populations worldwide. In 2019, Biological Conservation reported that 40% of all insects species are declining (减少) globally and that a third of them are endangered.
And while it may sound nice to live in a world with fewer bad insects, environmental writer Oliver Milman says that human beings would be in big trouble without insects. That’s because insects play important roles in pollinating (给……授粉) plants we eat, breaking down waste in forest soil and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals-including humans-rely upon.
“It would be an extremely terrible place to live in-and certainly not something we should ever aim for,” Milman says of an insect-free existence. “You would certainly have mass starvation and social unrest...It’d be a place where there would be smelly waste and dead bodies everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be gone.”
Milman charts the troubling decline of insects in his new book, The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World. He says that while it’s impossible to know exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world, the overall trends are not good: The butterfly population in North America has declined quickly in the past 40 years, for example, and a U.N. assessment done in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction, some in the coming decades.
“The world, our surroundings, would be far quieter, far duller without insects,” he, says. “When you start kind of digging down into these figures looking at the research, it’s clear that there’s something seriously wrong...There is a straight decline in most insect populations, and that spells major trouble for them but also for us.”
28. What should be the proper opinion about the insects according to the passage?
A. They can benefit the growth of plants. B. They can prevent plants from harvesting.
C. They are harmful to humans. D. They can produce a lot of waste.
29. What does Milman probably agree with?
A. The insects might make the world a terrible place to live in.
B. The insects might make much trouble to the dead bodies.
C. People would certainly have mass starvation with an insect-free existence.
D. The insects might produce too much smelly waste.
30. How did Milman prove the serious situation of the insects?
A. By comparing two insects. B. By giving some examples.
C. By analyzing the data. D. By using his research.
31. What Milman’s attitude to the future of insects?
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是昆虫数量下降对人类产生的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s because insects play important roles in pollinating(给……授粉)plants we eat, breaking down waste in forest soil and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals-including humans-rely upon.”(这是因为昆虫在为我们食用的植物授粉、分解森林土壤中的废物以及形成其他大型动物(包括人类)赖以生存的食物链的基础方面发挥着重要作用。)可知,昆虫在为我们食用的植物授粉,因此它们有益于植物的生长。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““It would be an extremely terrible place to live in-and certainly not something we should ever aim for,” Milman says of an insect-free existence.“You would certainly have mass starvation and social unrest...It’d be a place where there would be smelly waste and dead bodies everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be gone.””(“米尔曼在谈到无虫生存时说:“这将是一个极其可怕的居住环境,而且肯定不是我们应该追求的目标。”“那里肯定会出现大规模饥荒和社会动荡……那里到处都是难闻的垃圾和尸体,因为分解这些物质的昆虫将会消失。)可知,在米尔曼看来,如果没有昆虫的存在,人们肯定会遭受大规模饥荒。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“He says that while it’s impossible to know exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world, the overall trends are not good: The butterfly population in North America has declined quickly in the past 40 years, for example, and a U. N. assessment done in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction,some in the coming decades.”(他说,虽然我们不可能准确地知道世界上每一种昆虫的情况,但总体趋势并不乐观:例如,北美的蝴蝶数量在过去 40 年里迅速下降,2019 年联合国的一项评估发现,50 万种昆虫正面临灭绝的威胁,其中一些将在未来几十年内灭绝。)可知,通过列举具体的事实,米尔曼向读者证明了昆虫的严重处境。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“He says that while it’s impossible to know exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world,the overall trends are not good: The butterfly population in North America has declined quickly in the past 40 years, for example, and a U. N. assessment done in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction, some in the coming decades.”(他说,虽然我们不可能准确地知道世界上每一种昆虫的情况,但总体趋势并不乐观:例如,北美的蝴蝶数量在过去 40 年里迅速下降,2019 年联合国的一项评估发现,50 万种昆虫正面临灭绝的威胁,其中一些将在未来几十年内灭绝。)可知,米尔曼对昆虫未来的态度是担忧的。故选D。

This may be the 21st century but when it comes to information communication technology(ICT) the gender(性别)divide between boys and girls, shows no sign of closing.
This is bad news for the ICT industry where men outnumber women by over five to one; the industry needs at least an extra million recruits(新成员)over the next five years. Obviously, women as well as men are going to have to fill these recruitment gaps(空缺).The ICT companies are worried about the shortage of men and women to fill their gaps in the future.
It is believed that women are very well suited to working in ICT-they enjoy working in teams and like looking for creative connections. Many women have the kind of personal skills which are considered important to develop “new technology”. Professionals who work in Information Technology are constantly creating the world around us, and this can’t be done if you don’t know how people work and how they play.
In spite of the fact that ICT jobs are well paid and women are more likely to do well in them, findings show that girls’ opinions of the industry are uniformly negative. Only 5% would consider entering the ICT industry compared to 14% for law and 26% for medicine. Up to the age of 11 girls see ICT as entertaining and interesting but after that age negativity sets in; by the age of 13,this negative view of ICT is confirmed.
After school activities encourage some girls to use Information Technology, and getting ICT staff and other teachers together helps to develop imaginative use of ICT. Imaginative use of ICT especially in music, art, drama, geography and media studies, all helps to open girls’ eyes to the fact that careers in computing can cut across so many different areas.
Students complete the same class task by rote(死记硬背)in the ICT class. Although girls follow successfully, they will achieve enjoyment and excellence if allowed to diversify and be creative. For girls, just pressing buttons is not enough.
Another method is setting up computer clubs aimed at younger girls aged 8 to 14. This is known to inspire girIs to develop their ICT skills and to show them that ICT can be both creative and interesting.
We can’t afford to have girls missing out.
32. What do we know about ICT?
A. It has a serious division between male and female.
B. The ICT companies don’t need to hire more workers.
C. ICT is a more promising career than the cause of law.
D. ICT attracts more women to join in because of its high salary.
33. Why are women more suitable for ICT?
A. Because of their high skills of studying.
B. Because of their creativity of new games.
C. Because their responsibility for their career.
D. Because of their spirit for teamwork and exploration.
34. What will make girls more interested in ICT?
A. Completing the class task by rote in the ICT class.
B. Making competitions in ICT class.
C. Developing imaginative use of ICT.
D. Connecting ICT to their scores.
35. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. The ICT will have a promising future. B. Some measures to attract girls into ICT.
C. The advantages of ICT over medicine. D. The differences between ICT and law.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们应该采取措施让更多的女孩进入信息通信技术领域。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This may be the 21st century but when it comes to information communication technology(ICT), the gender(性别)divide between boys and girls, shows no sign of closing.”(虽然现在已经是 21 世纪了,但是当涉及到信息通信技术(ICT)时,男孩和女孩之间的性别差异并没有消失的迹象。)和第二段“This is bad news for the ICT industry where men outnumber women by over five to one; the industry needs at least an extra million recruits(新成员)over the next five years. Obviously, women as well as men are going to have to fill these recruitment gaps(空缺).”(这对于信息通信技术行业来说是个坏消息,因为该行业的男性人数超过女性人数的 5 倍;该行业在今后 5 年内至少需要增加 100 万名新员工。显然,无论是男性还是女性,都必须填补这些招聘空白。)可知,在ICT行业,男性和女性的性别差异依然很严重。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“It is believed that women are very well suited to working in ICT—they enjoy working in teams and like looking for creative connections. ”(人们认为,女性非常适合在信息通信技术领域工作——她们喜欢团队合作,喜欢寻找创造性的联系。)可知,在人们的认识中,女性喜欢团队合作,喜欢寻找创造性的联系,所以她们非常适合在信息通信技术领域工作。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Imaginative use of ICT especially in music, art, drama, geography and media studies, all helps to open girls’ eyes to the fact that careers in computing can cut across so many different areas.”(在音乐、艺术、戏剧、地理和媒体研究方面对信息和通信技术的富有想象力的使用,都有助于让女孩们认识到这样一个事实,计算机领域的职业可以跨越如此多不同的领域。)可知,发展对信息通信技术的富有想象力的运用有助于让女孩们认识到计算机领域的职业可以跨越很多领域,让她们对这个领域更感兴趣。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一到第四段主要呈现的是 ICT 男女比例失衡的现状,第五段开始提出的一些改进方法,因此推断文章主要讲述吸引女孩进入信息通信技术领域的措施。故选B。

【36题详解】
分析设空可知,位于首段句尾,应起到承上启下的作用,根据前文“Want to find out how you can learn a new language as fast as possible? If you commit to your new language, study hard, and have an open mind about making mistakes, you can go from basic conversational skills to fluency. (想知道怎样才能尽快学习一门新语言吗?如果你坚持学习你的新语言,努力学习,并对犯错误持开放的态度,你可以从基本的对话技巧提高到流利)”可知,B 选项“The following tips can help you learn a new language fast. (下面的技巧可以帮助你快速学习一门新的语言)”符合文意。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据本段首句“Pronunciation is the key to being understood by native speakers. (发音是被母语人士理解的关键)”可知,本段主要讲述了发音的重要性,再根据前文“There’s no point in memorizing hundreds of words and phrases if you pronounce them so oddly that they can’t be understood. (如果你的发音很奇怪,别人都听不懂,那么背几百个单词和短语就没有意义了)”可知,D项“So it’s important for you to learn the pronunciation while learning a word. (所以在学习单词的同时学习发音是很重要的)”符合文意,其中pronunciation为同词复现。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据本段首句“Hands down, the best way to learn a new language is to speak it. (毫无疑问,学习一门新语言的最好方法就是说)”可知,本段主要讲说是学习语言最好的方法,以及后文“Therefore, try to find a friend or colleague who speaks the language you wish to learn and who’d be willing to sit down with you and help you practice. (因此,试着找一个会说你想学的语言的朋友或同事,他们愿意坐下来和你一起练习)”可知,空处句子应该和本句构成因果关系,所以E项“Speaking with a person is better than staring at a book or computer screen. (与人交谈比盯着一本书或电脑屏幕更好)”符合文意和本段主题。故选E项。
【39题详解】
分析设空,可知空处位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“Mastering basic vocabulary is probably one of the most important things you can do when learning a new language. Even if you can’t understand whole sentences, the ability to pick out keywords can help you to understand the general meaning of a speech or text. (掌握基本词汇可能是学习一门新语言时最重要的事情之一。即使你不能理解整个句子,找出关键词的能力也可以帮助你理解演讲或文本的大致意思)”可知,本段主要讲述关键词对学习语言的重要性,所以C项“Knowing a few keywords can help you grasp what someone is saying. (知道几个关键词可以帮助你理解别人在说什么)”符合文意,其中keywords为同词复现。故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据本段首句“Be willing to make mistakes.(愿意犯错误)”可知,本段主要讲述要用于犯错,有助于新语言的学习,所以F项“You’ll learn better if you’re okay with making mistakes and learning from them.(如果你能接受犯错并从中吸取教训,你会学得更好)”符合文意,其中make mistakes为同词复现。故选F项。

58. where 59. on
60. are 61. expressing
62. natural
63. greatly
64. the 65. was listed
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了道教圣地青城山。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:青城山位于四川省成都市都江堰,是道教的发源地之一。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以locate应该用非谓语形式,逻辑主语是Qingcheng Mountain,两者是被动关系,应该用过去分词表被动。故填located。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:它有20多座道教寺庙和宗教场所,具有浓郁的道教文化气息,建筑体现了四川建筑风格。分析句子结构可知,空前是冠词,所以空处应填名词,building意为“建筑物”,为可数名词,根据“demonstrate”,此处应该用复数形式。故填buildings。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:它以哲学家张陵在142年创立中国道教而闻名。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,现行词是place,在从句中作地点状语,应用where引导。故填where。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:在晋唐时期,山上建了许多表达道教文化的寺庙。分析句子结构可知,on the mountain在山上(宏观角度,把山当成是个平面物体)符合句意。故填on。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在晋唐时期,山上建了许多表达道教文化的寺庙。分析句子结构可知,本句是倒装句,主语是many temples,为复数,描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时。故填are。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在晋唐时期,山上建了许多表达道教文化的寺庙。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词are,所以express应用非谓语动词形式,逻辑主语是temples,两者间是主动关系,此处描述本身性质,应该用现在分词作后置定语。故填expressing。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它还有山峰起伏、森林茂密、小径幽静的自然景观,吸引了许多来自世界各地的游客。分析句子结构可知,空后是名词landscape,所以空处应填形容词,nature的形容词形式是natural。故填natural。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:它还有山峰起伏、森林茂密、小径幽静的自然景观,吸引了许多来自世界各地的游客。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的动词attract,应该用副词修饰,great的副词形式是greatly。故填greatly。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它还有山峰起伏、森林茂密、小径幽静的自然景观,吸引了许多来自世界各地的游客。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定搭配:all over the world意为“世界各地”。故填the。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:青城山与都江堰水利系统于2000年被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语动词,所以list作本句谓语,主语是The Qingcheng Mountain,为第三人称单数,和list之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态,根据时间状语in 2000,应该用一般过去时。故填was listed。

Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was failing. Surprisingly, he could read, yet, in spite of his reading skills, Steve had been failing since the first grade. Steve was a big boy, yet, he went unnoticed until Miss White came.
Miss White was a smiling, beautiful, young lady. For the first time in his young life, Steve couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. In the middle of the first term, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things, as the day passed slowly. One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve!” Startled(吓了一跳), he turned to look at her. “Pay attention!” She began to go over the test results. “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated, pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare. “The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”
After that, Steve still couldn’t do his homework. “Just try it,” Miss White said one day. “Steve! Please! I care about you!” Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Someone, so beautiful and perfect, cared about him?! Steve went home from school, thoughtful that afternoon and decided to work hard.

【答案】参考范文
The following Monday, Steve arrived at school earlier than usual because Miss White would give a quiz on the weekend homework. When the class bell rang, Miss White handed out the test papers. At first, Steve was so nervous that his throat was dry, and his palms were sweating. But when he saw the smile on her face, his heart was full of courage again. Steve began to focus on doing it. Time went by quickly, and it was time to hand in the test papers. To Miss White’s surprise, Steve was the first to hand in his paper.
After Miss White checked Steve’s test paper, she was in total shock! She found Steve finished all the questions and passed the test for the first time. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Steve. When seeing the score on his paper, Steve couldn’t believe his eyes. He was wild with joy, tears of delight rolling down his cheeks. From that moment, nothing was the same for Steve. His grades got better and better and he was gradually willing to play with his classmates. It was Miss White’s care that made him confident in himself.
