【31题详解】

【32题详解】
句意:那伤害了Rani。

【33题详解】
句意:你现在的样子就很美!
clever聪明的;friendly友好的;beautiful美丽的。根据上文“It doesn’t matter what others think.”可知,Rani因为自己的头发自卑,父亲在这里是在安慰和鼓励她,强调她本身的样子就是美好的。结合语境,父亲是在肯定她的外貌和自身价值,“beautiful”最符合安慰的语境。故选C。
【34题详解】

【37题详解】
句意:Rani惊讶地发现,Rushdie很喜欢自己的头发,因为它让他看起来很特别,还为他的书籍带来了灵感。
dictionaries字典;magazines杂志;books书籍。根据上文“It wasn’t the first time they called her Rushdie, an Indian writer with the same big hair as hers.”可知,Rushdie是一位作家,作家的灵感通常是为了创作“书籍”,因此“books”符合职业身份。故选C。
【38题详解】
句意:那天晚上,她在睡觉前想了很久。
short短的;hard艰难的,努力的;long长的。根据上文“How Rani wished she could be confident like Rushdie!”可知,Rani受到Rushdie 的启发,在是否参加比赛、如何面对嘲笑之间做思想斗争,因此是“想了很久”,“for a long time”是固定搭配。故选C。
【39题详解】

Xue Wei, a 21-year-old boy, studies at Huanggang Normal University in Huanggang city, Hubei province. At first, his plan for the May Day holiday of 2024 was to stay in school to catch up on papers (论文). But he got into some difficulties. He felt unhappy and missed his family, so he decided to go home.
He spent 36 yuan buying a ticket. On the early morning of May 1st, he got on the green train. After nearly nine hours, he finally went back to his home in Fang county, Shiyan city, Hubei province.
Xue’s family needs to burn (燃烧) firewood to cook and for warmth in winter. To get enough firewood for his family to use, Xue and his father went to the mountains to look for wood on May 2ṇd. Because some workers just built a reservoir (水库) near his house, there was a lot of wood left there. Xue and his father carried the wood home.
In the following three days, they first sawed (锯) the wood into pieces and then chopped them with an axe (斧子). Finally, they put the wood next to the back wall in the yard. “In fact, the most tiring part is not chopping wood, but carrying wood home, because it is wet and heavy,” Xue said.
In the end, Xue and his father chopped about 900 kilograms of firewood. Xue recorded the moment when he and his father were working. Then he shared the short videos online and they became popular. Many people said, “This is the true meaning of Labor Day.” As for Xue, he was happy to do something to help his family during the holiday.

There is no doubt (疑问) that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries (行业). Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利).
However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045.
Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Dr. Justin said. According to him, we have made some progress already.
The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,” she predicted.
Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us, “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words, “she said. For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary.
51. Where are these researchers’ predictions from?
A. From a picture book. B. From a video series. C. From a radio report. D. From a science magazine.
52. Which of the following would be possible according to Justin?
A. Seeing robots in every industry. B. Letting computers control all machines.
C. Using thoughts to control the environment. D. Getting to work by self-driving or flying car.
53. In Stefanie’s imagination, future buildings will be _______.
A. safer B. larger C. reusable D. amazing
54. Why does the writer give an example in the last paragraph?
A. To explain Pam’s idea. B. To describe an achievement.
C. To show the importance of AI. D. To interest readers in future life.
55. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage us to look into the future. B. To share some predictions about the future.
C. To introduce some famous experts in science. D. To show the importance of developing technology.
【答案】51. B 52. C 53. D 54. A 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了在名为《走向未来》的视频系列中,三位研究人员对2045年的世界做出的预测,包括思维控制环境、新型材料建造建筑、人与机器的新型互动关系等内容。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045.”可知,这些研究人员的预测来自一个名为《走向未来》的视频系列。故选B。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. ‘Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,’ Dr. Justin said.”可知,Justin Sanchez博士认为,我们将会达到一个仅凭意念就能控制事物的阶段。“想象一个你可以只用思维就能控制周围环境的世界,” Justin博士说。由此可知,Justin认为人们未来可以用思维控制环境。故选C。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第4段“‘We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,’ she predicted.”可知,她预测:“我们将能够建造出非常坚固但又轻便的东西,我们甚至还不了解身边的一些材料。”因此可推知,这样的建筑是令人惊叹的。故选D。
【54题详解】
篇章结构题。根据文章第5段“Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us... For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order.”可知,Pam Melroy认为,我们将会发现自己与周围的机器有着截然不同的关系。例如,现在要安全降落一架飞机,飞行员必须按正确顺序完成许多步骤。因此,作者举飞行员驾驶飞机的例子是为了解释Pam Melroy的观点——未来人与机器会有不同的互动关系,人们可以通过简单指令控制机器。故选A。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开篇引出2045年世界将发生巨大变化,随后介绍了三位研究人员对2045年的具体预测,本文的目的是分享对未来的一些预测。故选B。
第二节根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

【解析】
【详解】句意:当我们生活中有很多压力时,我们应该学会通过做一些有趣的事来放松自己。根据“When we have much...in life, we should learn to relax by doing something fun.”和所给首字母可知,因为有压力,所以要放松自己,pressure“压力”,不可数名词,故填pressure。

63. The roads were ________ (覆盖着冰的) because of the heavy snow from the night before.

73. speak 74. skills
75. instead
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍海外志愿活动的意义、所需付出的代价,列举志愿工作类型,还给出结合自身技能选择志愿项目的建议。
【66题详解】
句意:在国外做志愿服务可能是其中最有意义的经历之一。根据后文“a chance to see the world”可知,空处应填abroad,意为“在国外”,副词,修饰动名词volunteering。故填abroad。
【67题详解】
句意:但这并不容易,因为这意味着你必须放弃一些东西,而且通常还需要花钱。give up意为“放弃”,固定搭配;must是情态动词,后接动词原形。故填give。
【68题详解】
句意:有数以千计的项目可供选择。 thousands of意为“数以千计的”,固定搭配,用于表示数量的不确定且众多。故填thousands。
【69题详解】
句意:你喜欢和孩子打交道,还是想做更广泛的社会工作,比如在无家可归者中心帮忙?根据后文“such as helping at a homeless center”可知,“在无家可归者中心帮忙”属于社会工作范畴,social意为“社会的”,形容词,修饰后面的名词work。故填social。
【70题详解】
句意:此外,你可以帮忙做的其他一些工作包括:教学、建造学校、务农、在医院帮忙,尤其是灾后清理或修缮。 根据“Also, some other work you can help do...: teaching, building schools, farming...”可知,你可以做的工作包括教学和务农等。include意为“包括”,谓语动词,主语some other work是不可数名词,所以使用其第三人称单数形式includes。故填includes。
【71题详解】
句意:此外,你可以帮忙做的其他一些工作包括:教学、建造学校、务农、在医院帮忙,尤其是灾后的清理或修缮。空处应填especially,意为“尤其”,副词,用于强调“灾难后”的场景更需要这类帮助,起语义突出的作用。故填especially。
【72题详解】
句意:考虑你的技能,以及你能帮忙做哪种工作。空处应填Consider,意为“考虑”,动词,此处为祈使句,需用动词原形开头,用于提出“考虑自身技能”的建议。故填Consider。
【73题详解】
句意:如果你想当老师,你可能需要会说你要去的那个国家的语言。speak the language意为“说某种语言”,且位于be able to之后,speak需保持动词原形不变。故填speak。
【74题详解】
句意:如果你想在建筑工地帮忙,你应该具备建筑技能。“在建筑工地帮忙”需要相关的技能,building skills意为“建筑技能”,用复数形式泛指各类建筑技能。故填skills。
【75题详解】
句意:然而,了解一些你所做工作的相关知识会对你更有帮助,而不是让你到达时感到困惑。instead of意为“而不是”,用于连接前后语义的对比,表“了解知识有帮助,而非造成困惑”。故填instead。
六、完成或翻译句子(共5小题;计13分)
(一)根据句意填入单词正确形式,每空一词,每空1分。
76. 面对困难,我们应当学会挑战自我以实现梦想。
In the face of difficulties, we should learn to ________ ourselves to ________ our dreams.
【答案】 ①. challenge ②. achieve
【解析】
【详解】对比中英文可知,空格处缺少“挑战”和“实现”;第一空:“挑战自我”对应的英文短语是“challenge ourselves”,其中challenge“挑战”,动词;learn to do sth.“学会做某事”,因此这里应用动词原形。第二空:“以实现梦想”在这里表目的,常用 “to achieve one’s dreams”,其中achieve“实现”,动词,这里应用动词原形。故填challenge;achieve。
77. 无论你喜欢印度美食、西餐还是日本料理,在新加坡都能找到!
________ you like Indian food, Western food or ________ food, you’ll find it all in Singapore!
【答案】 ①. Whether ②. Japanese
【解析】
【详解】对照中英文可知,第一空缺“无论……还是……”,对应的英文表达为whether...or...,所以第一空使用whether,位于句首,首字母大写;第二空缺少“日本”且修饰后面的名词food,所以要用名词Japan的形容词形式Japanese。故填Whether;Japanese。
(二)将下面几个句子翻译成英文。每题3分。
78. ——你买这本词典两年了吗?——是的。我是在济南买的。
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】—Have you had this dictionary for two years? —Yes. I bought it in Jinan.
【解析】
【详解】“你”you;“这本词典”this dictionary;两年“for two years”;“买”buy,其为短暂性动词,与时间段连用时需换成延续性动词have;是的“yes”;“我”I;“在济南”in Jinan。结合语境可知,问句为一般疑问句,句子时态为现在完成时(have/has+过去分词),且由于问句中有时间段,故此处谓语动词应用延续性动词have,表示“拥有”,强调持续状态。主语为you,故此处助动词应用have,放于句首,首字母h要大写;答句强调过去的购买动作,用一般过去时,谓语动词用buy的过去式bought,其后用it作宾语,指代前文的“this dictionary”。故填—Have you had this dictionary for two years? —Yes. I bought it in Jinan.
79. 当开始下雨时,Ben正在帮助妈妈做晚饭。
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When it started to rain, Ben was helping his mother cook dinner.
【解析】
【详解】When引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时,主句用过去进行时(was/were+动词的-ing形式)。“当……时”对应的英文是When,位于句首,首字母大写;“开始下雨”对应的英文是it started to rain;“正帮助”对应的英文是was helping,主语Ben是第三人称单数,所以be动词用was;“(他的)妈妈”对应的英文是his mother;“做晚饭”对应的英文是cook dinner,help sb. do sth.为固定搭配,所以cook用原形。故填When it started to rain, Ben was helping his mother cook dinner.
80. ——昨天你为什么没有来我的生日聚会呢?——对不起,我太忙了,完全忘记了这件事。
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】—Why didn’t you come to my birthday party yesterday? —Sorry, I was too busy and completely forgot about it.
【解析】
【详解】结合语境可知,句子时态为一般过去时,根据所给中文可知,问句为特殊疑问句,“为什么”why;“你”you;“昨天”yesterday;“来我的生日聚会”come to my birthday party。问句为特殊疑问句且为否定形式,故问句中谓语动词应用“didn’t+动词原形”的结构,didn’t放于特殊疑问词后,主语you前。“对不起”sorry;“我太忙了”I was too busy;“完全”completely;“忘记这件事”forgot about it,答句中应用and连接“我太忙了”和“完全忘记了这件事”。故填—Why didn’t you come to my birthday party yesterday? —Sorry, I was too busy and completely forgot about it.

【81题详解】
根据“The tradition has a...of hundreds of years.”可知,a后接可数名词单数,a history of为固定搭配,表示“……的历史”,故①填history;根据“I have watched the parade...I was young”可知,主句为现在完成时,从句为一般过去时,since引导时间状语从句表“自从”,符合语法规则,故②填since。故填history;since。
【82题详解】

Xue Wei, a 21-year-old boy, studies at Huanggang Normal University in Huanggang city, Hubei province. At first, his plan for the May Day holiday of 2024 was to stay in school to catch up on papers (论文). But he got into some difficulties. He felt unhappy and missed his family, so he decided to go home.
He spent 36 yuan buying a ticket. On the early morning of May 1st, he got on the green train. After nearly nine hours, he finally went back to his home in Fang county, Shiyan city, Hubei province.
Xue’s family needs to burn (燃烧) firewood to cook and for warmth in winter. To get enough firewood for his family to use, Xue and his father went to the mountains to look for wood on May 2ṇd. Because some workers just built a reservoir (水库) near his house, there was a lot of wood left there. Xue and his father carried the wood home.
In the following three days, they first sawed (锯) the wood into pieces and then chopped them with an axe (斧子). Finally, they put the wood next to the back wall in the yard. “In fact, the most tiring part is not chopping wood, but carrying wood home, because it is wet and heavy,” Xue said.
In the end, Xue and his father chopped about 900 kilograms of firewood. Xue recorded the moment when he and his father were working. Then he shared the short videos online and they became popular. Many people said, “This is the true meaning of Labor Day.” As for Xue, he was happy to do something to help his family during the holiday.
46. Why did Xue decide to go back home?
A. He needed his parents’ help with his papers.
B. He was upset and wanted to meet his family.
C. His father called him and asked him to go back.
D. He was not allowed to stay in school during the holiday.
47. How long did it take Xue to get home from Huanggang?
A. An hour and a half. B. A whole afternoon.
C. Almost nine hours. D. About a whole day.
48. What can we learn from paragraph 3?

C. A reservoir was built near Xue’s home. D. Xue’s father makes a living by cutting wood.
49. What was the most tiring work in Xue’s opinion?

There is no doubt (疑问) that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries (行业). Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利).
However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045.
Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Dr. Justin said. According to him, we have made some progress already.
The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,” she predicted.
Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us, “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words, “she said. For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary.
51. Where are these researchers’ predictions from?
A. From a picture book. B. From a video series. C. From a radio report. D. From a science magazine.
52 Which of the following would be possible according to Justin?
A. Seeing robots in every industry. B. Letting computers control all machines.
C. Using thoughts to control the environment. D. Getting to work by self-driving or flying car.
53. In Stefanie’s imagination, future buildings will be _______.
A. safer B. larger C. reusable D. amazing
54. Why does the writer give an example in the last paragraph?
A. To explain Pam’s idea. B. To describe an achievement.
C. To show the importance of AI. D. To interest readers in future life.
55. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A To encourage us to look into the future. B. To share some predictions about the future.
C. To introduce some famous experts in science. D. To show the importance of developing technology.
