A. A; a B. A; / C. The; a D. The; / 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨晚举行的会议是一个巨大的成功。 考查冠词用法。第一个空，meeting后有“held last night”（昨晚举行的）作后置定语，表示特指某次会议，故用定冠词the；第二个空，success在此表示具体的一次成功事件，为可数名词，需用不定冠词a表示“一个”。故选C。 2. I think the new film ______ by Mr. Zhang ______ seeing. A. is directed; worth B. directed; is worth C. is directed; is worth D. directed; be worth 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为张先生导演的新电影值得一看。 考查过去分词作定语和worth的固定搭配。第一个空，by Mr. Zhang表示被动关系，需用过去分词directed作后置定语，修饰the new film；be worth doing“值得做”，是固定搭配，主语是“the new film”，be动词用is。故选B。 3. —______ will the meeting last? —______ we reach an agreement. A. How long; Not until B. How soon; Not until C. How long; Until D. How soon; Until 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——会议将持续多久？——直到我们达成协议。 考查特殊疑问词辨析和连词用法。How long多久，询问持续时间；How soon多久以后，询问将来时间；Not until直到……才；Until直到。根据“will the meeting last”可知，此处询问会议持续时长，用How long；答句“…we reach an agreement”表示“会议将持续到达成协议为止”，需用until引导时间状语，表示动作持续到某个时间点。故选C。 4. The wheat and corn are growing very well and that ________ to be a good harvest. A. promises B. supports C. manages D. happens 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：小麦和玉米长得很好，有望获得好收成。 考查动词辨析。promises有……希望；supports支持；manages管理；happens发生，根据前面的“The wheat and corn are growing very well”和后面的“to be a good harvest”可知，应该是有好收成的希望，故选A。 5. One is not old as long as he is searching for something new. One is not old ______ regrets (遗憾) take the place of dreams. A. if B. since C. though D. unless 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：只要一个人还在寻找新的东西，他就不算老。除非遗憾取代了梦想，否则一个人不会变老。 考查连词辨析。if如果；since自从；though尽管；unless除非。根据“One is not old...regrets (遗憾) take the place of dreams.”可知，此处表达的是除非遗憾取代了梦想，否则一个人不会变老，所以应该用unless引导条件状语从句。故选D。 6. A child should be encouraged to tell the truth instead of ______ stories whenever he or she has done something wrong. A. putting up B. making up C. setting up D. using up 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：应该鼓励孩子说真话，而不是每当他或她做错事时就编造故事。 考查动词短语辨析。putting up张贴，搭建；making up编造；setting up建立；using up用完，耗尽。根据“A child should be encouraged to tell the truth instead of...stories whenever he or she has done something wrong.”可知，此处表达的是不应该鼓励孩子做错事时编造故事，所以应该用making up。故选B。 7. It is well known ____ all people that Beijing is known ___ the capital of China. A. for; as B. to; for C. to; as D. for; for 【答案】C 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：所有的人都知道，北京作为中国的首都而闻名。考查动词短语。be known to… 某物或者某人被人所熟知；be known as以……著称。故答案为C。 8.

A. with; someone’s B. with; anyone’s C. of; anyone’s D. of; someone’s 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位具有巨大魅力的超级巨星在购物中心保持低调，害怕引起任何人的注意。 考查介词辨析和不定代词辨析。with有着；someone’s某些人的；anyone’s任何人的；of属于。根据“The superstar...great charm lay low in the shopping mall”可知，此处表示具有巨大魅力的超级巨星，强调伴随特征，排除C/D选项；根据“fearing catching...attention.”可知，此处指害怕引起任何人的注意。故选B。 9. She has an emergency and needs to leave immediately. Could you tell me ______? A. how long your uncle has married B. how long she will be away C. what the matter is with the machine D. what the boss complained to me just now 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：她有急事需要立刻离开。你能告诉我她将离开多久？ 考查宾语从句的语序和动词用法。根据“Could you tell me…?”可知，从句是宾语从句，从句需用陈述句语序。A选项，语序正确，但“has married”中“marry”为瞬间动词，不能与表示持续时间的“how long”连用，应改为“has been married”；D选项，语序正确，但“complain”作及物动词时，通常需接“about”或“that”从句，此处“complained what”用法不正确，应改为“complained about what”，B、C选项，语序和用法都没问题；又根据前一句“She has an emergency and needs to leave immediately.”可知，她有急事需要立刻离开，自然衔接的是“她将离开多久”。故选B。 10. He reads ______ few books that he can’t tell stories to ______ little children. A. so; such B. such; such C. so; so D. such; so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他读的书如此少，以至于他不能给这么小的孩子讲故事。 考查so和such的用法区别。在结果状语从句中，so用于修饰形容词或副词，such用于修饰名词或名词短语。第一个空后“few”是形容词，表示“少的”，因此用so修饰；第二个空后“little children”是名词短语，其中“little”表示“小的”，因此用such修饰。故选A。 11. —They dislike being treated as migrant (移民) workers just because they used to receive little education. —______. A. Neither do we B. So do we C. We don’t either D. So we do 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他们不喜欢仅仅因为他们过去接受的教育少就被当作农民工来对待。——我们也是。 考查倒装句。Neither do we我们也不，用于否定句的倒装；So do we我们也是，用于肯定句的倒装；We don’t either我们也不，此句型通常不用于倒装结构，而是直接陈述；So we do的确如此，用于肯定句，表示对上文所述情况的确认。根据上文“They dislike being treated as migrant (移民) workers”可知，此处表示“我们也不喜欢”，虽然文中有dislike表示“不喜欢”，但是是含有否定前缀的词而不是否定词，可以理解为hate，因此用so do we表示我们也是。故选B。 12. I helped my friend to get a job that is not easy to get bored with ______ he could work comfortably. A. so that B. in order to C. so…that D. so as to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我帮助我的朋友找到了一份不容易厌倦的工作，这样他就可以舒服地工作。 考查从属连词辨析。so that以便，为了，后接从句；in order to为了，后面需要接动词原形；so…that如此……以至于……，中间接形容词/副词，表示结果；so as to为了，以便，不接从句。分析句子“I helped my friend to get a job that is not easy to get bored with…he could work comfortably.”可知，此处缺少一个引导目的状语从句的从属连词，所以用so that符合。故选A。 13. When we arrived at the theatre, the play ______ for half an hour. A. had lasted B. had been lasted C. has lasted D. has been lasted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们到达剧院时，戏剧已经持续了半个小时。 考查动词时态和语态。句子描述的是过去时间点（when we arrived）之前已完成的动作，需用过去完成时（had + 过去分词）。动词“last”（持续）为不及物动词，不能用于被动语态，故选A。 14. —BYD “YANGWANG” presentation on the Internet is really amazing! —______. I can’t think too highly of it. A. Not exactly B. Don’t mention it C. Quite the opposite D. Couldn’t agree more 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——BYD“仰望”在互联网上的发布会真是太棒了！——我对它评价再高也不为过。 考查情景交际。Not exactly不完全是；Don’t mention it不客气；Quite the opposite恰恰相反；Couldn’t agree more完全同意。根据“I can’t think too highly of it”可知，此处需选择表示完全同意的选项。故选D。 三、完形填空 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷相应位置写下答案。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） A father and his daughter were flying a kite in the park.

Clearly he changed his tone (语气) of voice while speaking over the phone. When all this was happening, the store owner observed and listened with great interest to the conversation that followed: “Madam, I am a poor boy. Can you give me a job cutting grass on your lawn (草坪)?” the little boy asked. “Sorry, I already have someone to cut my lawn,” the woman at the other end of the phone line replied. “Madam, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.” “I’m very happy with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. He is doing a good job.” “Madam, I’ll even sweep your curb (清扫路边), so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm Beach, Florida.” “No, thank you.” Instead of getting angry, the little boy smiled and put back the receiver gently. The store owner, who was listening to the conversation, walked over to the boy and said, “Son, I like your attitude (态度) and I would like to offer you a job.” “No, thanks. But I’m thankful for your offer.” “But you were really pleading (恳求) for a job when you were talking to the lady over the phone.” “No sir, I was just checking my performance on the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to” the little boy replied. 28. The boy changed his tone on the phone because ______. A he wanted to make the store owner interested in him B. he didn’t want the store owner to hear what he said C. he didn’t want the woman to know who he was D. he hoped that the woman could listen to him clearly 29.

Which of the following words can best describe the boy’s attitude toward the job? A. Curious. B. Careless. C. Joking. D. Serious. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个10岁的小男孩在杂货店打电话，以不同的语气与电话那头的女士交谈，实际上是在检查自己为这位女士修剪草坪的工作表现，他的态度引起了店主的兴趣和赞赏。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“No sir, I was just checking my performance on the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to”可知，男孩改变语气是因为他不希望电话那头的女士知道他是谁，而是在以一个求职者的身份检查自己的工作表现。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“The store owner, who was listening to the conversation, walked over to the boy and said, ‘Son, I like your attitude (态度) and I would like to offer you a job.’”可知，店主听到对话后，认为男孩真的需要一份工作，因此想提供给他。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段男孩的回答以及整个对话内容，可以看出男孩对自己的工作非常认真，他通过假装求职的方式来检查自己的工作表现，这体现了他严肃认真的态度。故选D。 C Mukbang, a South Korean word, means “eating broadcast (吃播)”. It is an online broadcast in which a person eats tons of food while talking with the people watching him or her. It began in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread all over the world. Why did mukbang first appear in South Korea? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic (评论家), thinks that it’s down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea where social eating is such a long tradition. However, eating alone is becoming increasingly common. It seems that mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger. Alice Stride, a spokeswoman for the Campaign to End Loneliness, says, “It might bring someone great comfort to watch mukbang.” She adds that she would be worried if younger people were watching people eat instead of eating with friends or family, but for older people it could be a comfort. “If you can’t get out, if you’re ill for example, then perhaps that will bring you a great sense of comfort. On the whole, though, we would advocate face-to-face communication. It’s something that won’t change.” “I would always encourage people to do whatever makes them feel better as long as it is a healthy habit,” says Ben Edwards, a relationship expert (专家). I don’t think mukbang is a healthy way to have a meal. But I think if people feel like watching other people eat, and it gives them some kind of satisfaction, I see no harm.” 31. What questions are answered in Paragraph 1? ①How old is mukbang? ②What does mukbang mean? ③Where did mukbang begin? ④How did mukbang get popular? A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 32. Which of the following is probably Alice Stride’s opinion? A. Mukbang helps lots of people feel less lonely. B. Older people are more interested in mukbang. C. Younger people should eat with their friends and family a lot. D. Younger people should offer more comfort to older people. 33. What does Ben Edwards think of mukbang? A. It is an acceptable thing. B. It is healthy for people. C. It is a popular way of eating. D. It is difficult to do. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了吃播（mukbang）这一现象，包括其起源、出现原因以及不同人对此的看法。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Mukbang, a South Korean word, means ‘eating broadcast (吃播)’.”可知，回答了mukbang是什么意思，即②；根据“It began in South Korea in around 2010”可知，回答了mukbang起源于哪里以及大概出现的时间，可推测出其年龄，即①③；而第一段并没有提及mukbang是如何流行起来的，即④未提及。所以第一段回答了①②③，故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She adds that she would be worried if younger people were watching people eat instead of eating with friends or family”可知，Alice Stride担心年轻人看吃播而不和朋友或家人一起吃饭，由此可推断出她认为年轻人应该多和朋友和家人一起吃饭，C选项符合其观点。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I don’t think mukbang is a healthy way to have a meal. But I think if people feel like watching other people eat, and it gives them some kind of satisfaction, I see no harm.”可知，Ben Edwards认为吃播不是健康的吃饭方式，但如果人们看别人吃饭能获得某种满足感，他觉得也没什么坏处，由此可推断出他认为吃播是可以接受的，A选项符合。故选A。 D It’s been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it’s hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference. The theme of Success for Teens is “Little Things Matter”. The book helps teens identify (识别) small, positive (积极的) choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don’t realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting influences. Often they focus on (专注于) the bigger events, such as a major exam, a big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be. The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else. Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting (有益于) a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success. Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success. 34. What can you learn from paragraph 2? A. Dealing with big events is the most important in one’s life. B. Little choices seldom have lasting influences on one’s life. C. Teens should try to focus their attention on big choices. D. Many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices. 35. Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas? A. Kind-hearted. B. Creative. C. Brave. D. Confident. 36. Whom is the text most probably written for? A. Teenagers. B. Parents. C. Pupils. D. Teachers. 37. The writer mainly discusses the relationship between ________. A. little choices and big choices B. teens’ goals and their actions C. positive and negative decisions D. small positive choices and success 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. B 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了小的积极的选择与成功之间的关系，我们的生活中到处都有一些很小的选择，而这些选择会使我们的生活有很大的不同，并且会对我们产生持久的影响。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“ Lots of teens don’t realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting influences. ”可知，许多青少年没有意识到他们生活中的小选择会产生持久的影响，也就是说，许多青少年没有意识到小选择的重要性，故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. ”（于是，他开始每天拿出三分之一的额外时间，寻找帮助其他孩子的方法。在过去的几年里，他的项目已经筹集了数千美元来帮助受虐待、无家可归和生病的儿童）可知，他很好心，故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Make sure your child...”可知，这篇文章是写给父母的，故选B。 【37题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了小的积极的选择与成功之间的关系，故选D。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38. Don’t worry about missing the film as he’s had it ______ (录像). 【答案】recorded 【解析】 【详解】句意：别担心错过这部电影，因为他已经把它录下来了。根据“he’s had it”可知，此处使用have sth done“使某物被处理”的固定搭配，表示“电影被录下来”，record“录像”，动词，其过去分词是recorded。故填recorded。 39. He came from _______（中心的）Jiangsu but now he is used to living in Sichuan. 【答案】central 【解析】 【详解】句意：他来自江苏中部，但现在已经习惯了住在四川。central“中心的”，形容词，作定语修饰名词Jiangsu。故填central。 40. With the teacher’s help, he ______ (成功地) finished all the posters for the show. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：在老师的帮助下，他成功地完成了展览的所有海报。根据汉语提示可知，successfully“成功地”，副词，修饰动词“finished”。故填successfully。 41. Nowadays a number of ______ (产业) develop fast in China. 【答案】industries 【解析】 【详解】句意：如今，中国的许多产业发展迅速。industry“产业”，根据“a number of”可知，此处用复数形式industries。故填industries。 42. I’m more interested in American ______ (direct) films. 【答案】directors’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：我对美国导演拍的电影更感兴趣。根据“American...films”可知，此处使用名词所有格修饰名词films，direct的名词形式为director，此处表示“美国导演拍的电影”，不止一个导演，所以用复数名词所有格directors’。故填directors’。 43. We hope Russia and Ukraine can ______ (reach) an agreement and get along well with each other. 【答案】reach 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们希望俄罗斯和乌克兰能够达成协议，友好相处。根据“Russia and Ukraine can … an agreement”可知，横线处需填动词原形与can构成谓语，reach“达成”，动词原形，reach an agreement“达成协议”。故填reach。 44. More attention should be paid to ______ (control) his emotions. 【答案】controlling 【解析】 【详解】句意：应该更加注意控制他的情绪。根据“pay attention to doing sth.”可知，此处使用动名词形式，表示“关注做某事”，故填controlling。 45. It is ______ (silly) of him than Sandy not to forgive others for their mistakes. 【答案】sillier 【解析】 【详解】句意：他不原谅别人的错误，这比Sandy更愚蠢。根据空格后“than Sandy”可知，此处应用silly的比较级sillier；本题为固定句型：It’s+形容词+ of sb to do sth, 意为“某人做某事是……的”。故填sillier。 六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分) 46. —Will you go to his birthday party tonight? —No unless I ________. (invite) 【答案】am invited 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你今晚会去参加他的生日聚会吗？——不，除非我被邀请。invite“邀请”，动词；“unless”引导条件状语从句，时态遵循“主将从现”原则，所以此处用一般现在时；主语“I”和谓语动词“invite”是被动关系，即“我”是“被邀请”的对象，因此要用一般现在时的被动语态，结构为“am+动词过去分词”；invite的过去分词为invited。故填am invited。 47. They still had no idea how much danger they ______ (face) when they accepted the task. 【答案】would face 【解析】 【详解】句意：当他们接受任务时，他们仍然不知道他们将面临多大的危险。根据“when they accepted the task”可知，此处表示接受任务时还不知道会面临多大的危险，指过去的将来，应用过去将来时，用would face。故填would face。 48. —Miss Hu, I haven’t seen you for a long time. —Yes. I ______ (stay) in Shanghai working as a volunteer nurse for a month. 【答案】stayed 【解析】 【详解】句意：——胡老师，好久不见了。——是的。我在上海做了一个月的志愿护士。根据“Miss Hu, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”和“Yes. I … (stay) in Shanghai working as a volunteer nurse for a month.”及提示词可知，胡小姐在上海做志愿者护士一个月了，但是现在已经回来了，因此两个人能见面，所以“in Shanghai working as a volunteer nurse”是发生在过去的一段时间的事情，并没有持续到现在，因此用一般过去时。故填stayed。 49. All the people ______ (lose) themselves in the wonderful show, so no one noticed the noise. 【答案】lost 【解析】 【详解】句意：所有的人都沉浸在精彩的表演中，所以没有人注意到噪音。根据“noticed”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词使用过去式，lose的过去式是lost，lose oneself in“沉浸于”。故填lost。 50. The small town ________ (remain) what it was like years ago, natural and beautiful. 【答案】remains 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个小镇还是几年前的样子，自然而美丽。remain“保持”，动词。结合语境可知，小镇还是和以前一样，这是表示一种事实，应用一般现在时。主语是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式。故填remains。 51. —Where is Mrs. Green? —She as well as her daughters ________ (fly) back to their hometown for Christmas. 【答案】has flown 【解析】 【详解】句意：——格林太太在哪里？——她和她的女儿们已经飞回家乡过圣诞节了。fly“飞”，动词；“as well as”连接两个主语时，谓语动词应与前一个主语保持一致，即“就远原则”；此处前一个主语是“She”，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式；结合语境“Where is Mrs. Green?”，可知“飞回故乡”是已经完成的动作，对现在造成了“她不在此处”的影响，因此时态用现在完成时，结构为“has+动词过去分词”；fly的过去分词为flown。故填has flown。 52. The old man stood at the door, ______ (forget) what to do. 【答案】forgetting 【解析】 【详解】句意：老人站在门口，忘了要做什么。根据句子结构可知，此处使用非谓语动词，逻辑主语the old man与forget之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语，forget的现在分词是forgetting。故填forgetting。 53. Who ______ (choose) to play the lead role in the next film hasn’t been decided. 【答案】will be chosen 【解析】 【详解】句意：谁将被选中在下部电影中担任主角还没有决定。根据“Who...to play the lead role”可知，who和choose之间是被动关系，且时态是一般将来时。故填will be chosen。 七、阅读填空 （本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。 Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy, in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds. So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash, things that people no longer want or need! Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars. But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials. Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles (科学原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject. When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos. Today over 50000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired (鼓舞) that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations. Making educational toys from rubbish ____54____ for building educational toys ●Most people never thought about building educational toys. ●Usually people go to the nearest store to buy educational toys in need. ●To some families, food is more ____55____ than educational toys. We should help children to get interested in science. About Mr Gupta ●Finding a good job and spending five years designing cars after ____56____ college. ●Deciding to give up the good job and spending his life making special toys. ●Volunteering to teach the children from poor families. ●Taking a year’s training course to learn to make science fun and exciting for poor children. ●Focusing his attention on designing educational toys. About the website ●The website has over 250 social media videos. ●Many children visit the website and they are ____57____ with the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. ●With the help of his creations, some children have ____58____ in winning international science competitions. 【答案】54. Reasons 55. important 56. leaving 57. provided 58. succeeded 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了印度工程师阿尔文德·古普塔致力于用垃圾制作教育玩具，帮助贫困地区儿童对科学产生兴趣的故事。 【54题详解】 根据框中的内容“●Most people never thought about building educational toys. ●Usually people go to the nearest store to buy educational toys in need. ●To some families, food is more…than educational toys. We should help children to get interested in science.”可知此处是概括制作教育玩具的原因，需用复数形式。故填Reasons。 【55题详解】 根据原文“With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys... is the last thing on the parents’ minds.”可知，对于一些家庭来说，食物比教育玩具更重要，故填important。 【56题详解】 根据原文“Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.”可知，Gupta先生在毕业后找到了一份好工作，并花了五年时间设计汽车。leave“离开”，需用动名词形式作宾语。故填leaving。 【57题详解】 根据原文“Today over 50000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science.”可知网站会为他们提供基于酷炫科学原理的玩具制作视频。be provided with“被提供”，故填provided。 【58题详解】 根据原文“Some young children have become so inspired that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.”可知，一些孩子在Gupta先生的创作帮助下，成功赢得了国际科学竞赛。空前是have，此处需填动词的过去分词形式构成现在完成时，故填succeeded。 八、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分） 59. 王老师是一位非常耐心的教师，她获得了学生的一致好评。 Miss Wang is such a patient teacher __________________ by all her students. 【答案】that she is thought highly of/that she is highly regarded/that she is praised highly/that she is spoken highly of 【解析】 【详解】根据“such a patient teacher”可知，本句为such…that…结构，表示“如此……以至于……”。再根据“by all her students”可知，从句中的谓语动词应用被动语态，be thought highly of/be highly regarded/be praised highly/be spoken highly of表示“被……好评”。主句的主语是Miss Wang，所以从句的主语为she，be动词用is。故填that she is thought highly of/that she is highly regarded/that she is praised highly/that she is spoken highly of。 60. 这个马虎的经理已数次把领导误认为是司机。 The careless manager __________________ the driver several times. 【答案】mistook the leader for 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，mistake…for…“把……误认为……”，固定搭配；结合“已数次”可知，时态为一般过去时，mistake需用过去式mistook；leader“领导”。故填mistook the leader for。 61. 尽管双胞胎都没有绘画天赋，但是他们没有放弃。 __________________, but they don’t give up. 【答案】Neither of the twins has a talent for drawing 【解析】 【详解】根据“双胞胎都没有绘画天赋”可知，此处使用neither of the twins表示“双胞胎都不”，neither表示两者都不；have a talent for doing sth.“有做某事的天赋”，drawing“绘画”，为动名词；句子时态为一般现在时，主语为neither of the twins，其后的谓语动词应采用单数形式。故填Neither of the twins has a talent for drawing。 62. 如今这个作家被认为在中国文学领域起着重要作用。 Nowadays this writer ________________________ in Chinese literature. 【答案】is considered to play an important role 【解析】 【详解】根据“被认为……起着重要作用”可知，此处使用被动语态，be considered to do“被认为做某事”，play an important role“起着重要作用”，根据“如今”可知，句子使用一般现在时，主语this writer是第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is considered to play an important role。 63. 你认为我们直播这场音乐会会有什么困难？ What difficulty do you think ________________________? 【答案】we will have covering the concert live##we will have in covering the concert live 【解析】 【详解】此处是“特殊疑问词+do you think+陈述语序”；句子时态为一般将来时，其结构是“will+动词原形”；we“我们”，have difficulty (in) doing sth“做某事有困难”，cover the concert live“直播这场音乐会”。故填we will have (in) covering the concert live。 64. 婚姻的真谛不在于你们相爱多久，而在于心有灵犀。 The essence of marriage isn’t about ________________________. It’s about sharing understanding between souls. 【答案】how long you have loved each other 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“你们相爱多久”。根据“The essence of marriage isn’t about…”可知，此处填“how long”引导的宾语从句；主语“你们”英文为“you”；“相爱”英文为“love each other”，“相爱多久”强调的是从过去开始的相爱状态持续到现在，所以用现在完成时，即“have loved each other”；宾语从句要用陈述语序。故填how long you have loved each other。 九、书面表达（本大题共 20分） 65. 如今，越来越多的小说被改编成电影。有的同学喜欢看电影，有的则喜欢阅读原著。请你以“Films or Novels”为题，写一篇英语作文投稿校刊。内容要点如下： 喜欢看电影 适合男女老幼，能把一切栩栩如生的东西带上银幕，…… 喜欢看原著 阅读使人完美，语言更生动，…… 你的选择 …… 选择理由 …… 注意： 1.短文必须包括所给内容要点，要求语句通顺、意思连贯； 2.表格内省略部分必须展开合理想象，作适当发挥； 3.词数100个左右，短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Films or Novels?

Recently, more and more novels are being made into films. Some students prefer films because they are suitable for all ages and they can show everything vividly on screen, clearly presenting every detail, making stories exciting and relaxing. Others enjoy reading novels. They believe that reading not only perfects a person but also makes language more vivid. As for me, I choose novels.

B One beautiful winter morning, a little boy of 10 years old went to a grocery shop to make a telephone call. Clearly he changed his tone (语气) of voice while speaking over the phone. When all this was happening, the store owner observed and listened with great interest to the conversation that followed: “Madam, I am a poor boy. Can you give me a job cutting grass on your lawn (草坪)?” the little boy asked. “Sorry, I already have someone to cut my lawn,” the woman at the other end of the phone line replied. “Madam, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.” “I’m very happy with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. He is doing a good job.” “Madam, I’ll even sweep your curb (清扫路边), so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm Beach, Florida.” “No, thank you.” Instead of getting angry, the little boy smiled and put back the receiver gently. The store owner, who was listening to the conversation, walked over to the boy and said, “Son, I like your attitude (态度) and I would like to offer you a job.” “No, thanks. But I’m thankful for your offer.” “But you were really pleading (恳求) for a job when you were talking to the lady over the phone.” “No sir, I was just checking my performance on the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to” the little boy replied. 28. The boy changed his tone on the phone because ______. A. he wanted to make the store owner interested in him B. he didn’t want the store owner to hear what he said C. he didn’t want the woman to know who he was D. he hoped that the woman could listen to him clearly 29. Hearing the conversation, the store-owner might think ______. A. the boy really needed a job B. the boy was not good at cutting lawns C. the boy actually wanted to help D. the boy was telling lies all the time 30. Which of the following words can best describe the boy’s attitude toward the job? A. Curious. B. Careless. C. Joking. D. Serious. C Mukbang, a South Korean word, means “eating broadcast (吃播)”. It is an online broadcast in which a person eats tons of food while talking with the people watching him or her. It began in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread all over the world. Why did mukbang first appear in South Korea? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic (评论家), thinks that it’s down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea where social eating is such a long tradition. However, eating alone is becoming increasingly common. It seems that mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger. Alice Stride, a spokeswoman for the Campaign to End Loneliness, says, “It might bring someone great comfort to watch mukbang.” She adds that she would be worried if younger people were watching people eat instead of eating with friends or family, but for older people it could be a comfort. “If you can’t get out, if you’re ill for example, then perhaps that will bring you a great sense of comfort. On the whole, though, we would advocate face-to-face communication. It’s something that won’t change.” “I would always encourage people to do whatever makes them feel better as long as it is a healthy habit,” says Ben Edwards, a relationship expert (专家). I don’t think mukbang is a healthy way to have a meal. But I think if people feel like watching other people eat, and it gives them some kind of satisfaction, I see no harm.” 31. What questions are answered in Paragraph 1? ①How old is mukbang? ②What does mukbang mean? ③Where did mukbang begin? ④How did mukbang get popular? A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 32. Which of the following is probably Alice Stride’s opinion? A. Mukbang helps lots of people feel less lonely. B. Older people are more interested in mukbang. C. Younger people should eat with their friends and family a lot. D. Younger people should offer more comfort to older people. 33. What does Ben Edwards think of mukbang? A. It is an acceptable thing. B. It is healthy for people. C. It is a popular way of eating. D. It is difficult to do. D It’s been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it’s hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference. The theme of Success for Teens is “Little Things Matter”. The book helps teens identify (识别) small, positive (积极的) choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don’t realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting influences. Often they focus on (专注于) the bigger events, such as a major exam, a big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be. The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else. Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting (有益于) a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success. Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success. 34. What can you learn from paragraph 2? A. Dealing with big events is the most important in one’s life. B. Little choices seldom have lasting influences on one’s life. C. Teens should try to focus their attention on big choices. D. Many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices. 35. Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas? A. Kind-hearted. B. Creative. C. Brave. D. Confident. 36. Whom is the text most probably written for? A. Teenagers. B. Parents. C. Pupils. D. Teachers. 37 The writer mainly discusses the relationship between ________. A. little choices and big choices B. teens’ goals and their actions C. positive and negative decisions D. small positive choices and success 第Ⅱ卷（主观题共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy, in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds. So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash, things that people no longer want or need! Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars. But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials. Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles (科学原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject. When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos. Today over 50000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired (鼓舞) that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.
