三、阅读理解
Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky. The orbit of Venus is inside the orbit of Earth. Venus is always relatively close to the Sun in the sky. When Venus is on one side of the Sun, it’s following the Sun in the sky and brightens into view shortly after the Sun sets. This is when Venus is seen as the Evening Star. When Venus is on the other side of the Sun, it leads the Sun. Venus will rise in the morning a few hours before the Sun. Then as the Sun rises, the sky brightens and Venus fades away in the daytime sky. This is when Venus is called the Morning Star. However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star.
Venus appears white or yellowish-white when viewed through a telescope. The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds, which ______________direct observations. So the color of the Venusian surface is not exactly known. However, based on data collected by spacecraft missions, scientists believe that it likely takes on various shades of red, brown, and gray.
Venus has an average surface temperature of about 462℃, which makes it one of the hottest places in the Solar System. Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide. It creates the greenhouse effect, which traps solar radiation (射线).
Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day!
(1)What can we learn from Paragraph l?
A.Venus can be seen only in the early morning.
B.Venus is a bright planet with two other names.
C.The Evening Star starts to appear before the sun goes down.
D.The Morning Star and the Evening Star are two different objects.
(2)What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Help. B.Change. C.Cloud. D.Postpone.
(3)What is the major cause of the extreme heat on the surface of Venus?
A.The big size of the planet.
B.The short distance from the Earth.
C.The planet’s special landform.
D.The heavy atmosphere surrounding it.
(4)How does the author support his idea in the last paragraph?
A.By providing examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By discussing the background.
D.By presenting cause and effect.
四、七选五
Why Are Airplane Seats Almost Blue?
Have you ever paid attention to the color of the airplane seats? They’re almost always blue and there are very few exceptions to this rule. Some people think it reminds us of the sky. But the explanation isn’t that simple!
Color psychology plays an important role in choosing the fabric (布料) for airplane seats. _______1_______ “The idea is to help passengers feel at home, with relaxing colors and restful designs,” explained Shelly Zundell in a press release.
Blue is a calming color that suggests peace, calmness, and relaxation. _____2______ In a study reported by Popular Science, 48 percent of participants thought that soda in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴的) than that served in glasses of other colors, probably because they connected blue with cold. Colors such as red and orange can make people feel warmer. Although it’s not unheard of, red is a less common color for airplane seats. _______3_________
It is a universally well-liked color. ______4______ It’s a universal color that’s appealing to most. This is also the same reason why many brands have blue logos. People universally connect the color with positive things such as clean water and blue skies, so they tend to like it. Across ages and across cultures, it’s probably the world’s favorite color.
The right shade hides stains (污渍) well. Dark blue seats are also just practical. Imagine how many people sit in them per day. Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear as easily. Those dark blue seats will look fresher and newer for longer. ____5_____
A.It physically feels cooler.
B.It reflects a cool professionalism.
C.But is there any other explanation?
D.However, some planes also have red seats.
E.People often connect certain colors with certain feelings.
F.Feeling hot when you board an airplane is good for no one.
G.It’s hard to find someone who has strong feelings against the color blue.

一、在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
1.____________(analysis) were conducted on the important data.
【答案】Analyses
【解析】“analysis”为可数名词,意为“分析”。根据句中谓语动词“were”为复数形式,主语也需用复数,因此需将其变为复数形式“analyses”。
2.I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities______________ my age.
【答案】beyond
【解析】介词“beyond”意为“超出、胜过”。此处构成“beyond one‘s age”短语,表示“超越年龄的”,符合句意“我的童年都在工作中度过,肩负着超越年龄的责任”。
3.I had a strong desire____________ ( reach) in and play with the toy, but was held back thankfully by the shop window.
【答案】to reach
【解析】名词“desire”(愿望)后常接动词不定式(to do)作后置定语,表示“做某事的愿望”,因此填写“to reach”。
4.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined _________( visit) all of them.
【答案】to visit
【解析】“be determined to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“下定决心做某事”,因此需用动词不定式“to visit”。
5.The job will provide me___________ a good chance to show my talent.
【答案】with
【解析】“provide sb. with sth.”为固定短语,意为“向某人提供某物”,符合句意“这份工作将为我提供一个展示才华的好机会”。
6.Don‘t waste your time____________ (try) to find out if the receiver has read it yet.
【答案】trying
【解析】“waste time (in) doing sth.”为固定搭配,意为“浪费时间做某事”,其中介词“in”常省略,因此需用动名词形式“trying”。

【答案】disappointed
【解析】“disappointed”为形容词,意为“感到失望的”,用于描述人的感受或表情。“disappointed looks”意为“失望的表情”。注意与“disappointing”(令人失望的)区分,后者通常修饰物。
10.The workers were not better organized, otherwise they_________________ (accomplish) the task in half the time.
【答案】would have accomplished
【解析】“otherwise”在此引导含蓄条件句,表示与过去事实相反的假设。主句“The workers were not better organized”描述了过去的实际情况,因此“otherwise”后的分句需用虚拟语气,表示与过去事实相反的结果,结构为“would/should/could/might + have + 过去分词”。
二、单句语法填空
1. Volunteering gives you a chance _________ (change) lives, including your own.
【答案】to change
【解析】此处考查不定式作定语,名词“chance”(机会)后面通常接动词不定式(to do)作后置定语,表示“做某事的机会”。因此,这里应填“to change”,意为“一个改变生活的机会”。

【解析】此处考查不定式作状语,在“主语 + be + 形容词 + to do”结构中,当句子主语是动词不定式(to do)的逻辑宾语时,常用主动形式(to do)表示被动含义。此处主语“This machine”是动词“operate”(操作)的逻辑宾语,构成“be easy to operate”这一常用表达,意为“这台机器很容易操作”。
10.We were astonished _______ (find) the temple still in its original condition.
【答案】to find

三、阅读理解
Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky. The orbit of Venus is inside the orbit of Earth. Venus is always relatively close to the Sun in the sky. When Venus is on one side of the Sun, it’s following the Sun in the sky and brightens into view shortly after the Sun sets. This is when Venus is seen as the Evening Star. When Venus is on the other side of the Sun, it leads the Sun. Venus will rise in the morning a few hours before the Sun. Then as the Sun rises, the sky brightens and Venus fades away in the daytime sky. This is when Venus is called the Morning Star. However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star.
Venus appears white or yellowish-white when viewed through a telescope. The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds, which ______________direct observations. So the color of the Venusian surface is not exactly known. However, based on data collected by spacecraft missions, scientists believe that it likely takes on various shades of red, brown, and gray.
Venus has an average surface temperature of about 462℃, which makes it one of the hottest places in the Solar System. Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide. It creates the greenhouse effect, which traps solar radiation (射线).
Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day!
(1)What can we learn from Paragraph l?
A.Venus can be seen only in the early morning.
B.Venus is a bright planet with two other names.
C.The Evening Star starts to appear before the sun goes down.
D.The Morning Star and the Evening Star are two different objects.
(2)What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Help. B.Change. C.Cloud. D.Postpone.
(3)What is the major cause of the extreme heat on the surface of Venus?
A.The big size of the planet.
B.The short distance from the Earth.
C.The planet’s special landform.
D.The heavy atmosphere surrounding it.
(4)How does the author support his idea in the last paragraph?
A.By providing examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By discussing the background.
D.By presenting cause and effect.
本文是一篇科普说明文。它通过客观、准确的描述,介绍了金星的天文特征、观测现象、表面环境及物理特性。
【答案】1.B
【解析】1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky.(金星是天空中最亮的行星)”以及“However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star. (然而,有趣的是,古代的天空观察者把金星当成了两个不同的天体:晨星和昏星)”可知,金星是一颗明亮的行星,还有另外两个名字。故选B。
【答案】2.C
【解析】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds(原因是它被厚厚的二氧化碳大气和硫酸云所覆盖)”可知,金星被厚厚的二氧化碳大气和硫酸云所覆盖,这使得直接观测变得模糊。由此可知,划线词意思是“使模糊不清”。故选C。
【答案】3.D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide.(除了离太阳很近之外,金星的极高温度主要是由于它的大气层很厚,主要由二氧化碳组成)”可知,金星表面极端高温的主要原因是周围沉重的大气。故选D。
【答案】4.B
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day!(地球上的一天是24小时,而金星上的一天是243个地球日!想象一下,一天持续好几个月,在这段时间里,太阳只升起和落下一次。在地球上,我们习惯于一年365天,而金星一年的持续时间大约是225个地球日。令人惊讶的是,这意味着金星的一年实际上比金星的一天短!)”可推知,作者通过比较支持他在最后一段的观点。故选B。

Why Are Airplane Seats Almost Blue?
Have you ever paid attention to the color of the airplane seats? They’re almost always blue and there are very few exceptions to this rule. Some people think it reminds us of the sky. But the explanation isn’t that simple!
Color psychology plays an important role in choosing the fabric (布料) for airplane seats. _______1_______ “The idea is to help passengers feel at home, with relaxing colors and restful designs,” explained Shelly Zundell in a press release.
Blue is a calming color that suggests peace, calmness, and relaxation. _____2______ In a study reported by Popular Science, 48 percent of participants thought that soda in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴的) than that served in glasses of other colors, probably because they connected blue with cold. Colors such as red and orange can make people feel warmer. Although it’s not unheard of, red is a less common color for airplane seats. _______3_________
It is a universally well-liked color. ______4______ It’s a universal color that’s appealing to most. This is also the same reason why many brands have blue logos. People universally connect the color with positive things such as clean water and blue skies, so they tend to like it. Across ages and across cultures, it’s probably the world’s favorite color.
The right shade hides stains (污渍) well. Dark blue seats are also just practical. Imagine how many people sit in them per day. Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear as easily. Those dark blue seats will look fresher and newer for longer. ____5_____
A.It physically feels cooler.
B.It reflects a cool professionalism.
C.But is there any other explanation?
D.However, some planes also have red seats.
E.People often connect certain colors with certain feelings.
F.Feeling hot when you board an airplane is good for no one.
G.It’s hard to find someone who has strong feelings against the color blue.
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为什么飞机座位几乎是蓝色的这一现象。
【答案】1.E
【解析】根据上文“Color psychology plays an important role in choosing the fabric (布料) for airplane seats.(色彩心理学在飞机座椅面料的选择中起着重要的作用)”以及后文““The idea is to help passengers feel at home, with relaxing colors and restful designs,” explained Shelly Zundell in a press release.(雪莉·赞德尔在新闻发布会上解释说:“这个想法是为了让乘客有宾至如归的感觉,用放松的颜色和宁静的设计。”)”可知,本句承上启下,说明了色彩心理学起作用的原因是人们对颜色有情感联系,故E选项“人们经常把某些颜色和某些感觉联系起来”符合语境,故选E。
【答案】2.A
【解析】根据后文“In a study reported by Popular Science,48 percent of participants thought that soda in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴的) than that served in glasses of other colors, probably because they connected blue with cold.(在《大众科学》杂志的一项研究中,48%的参与者认为,装在蓝色杯子里的苏打水比装在其他颜色杯子里的苏打水更能解渴,这可能是因为他们把蓝色与冷联系在一起)”可知,蓝色让人感觉更凉爽,故A选项“身体上感觉更凉爽”符合语境,故选A。
【答案】3.F
【解析】根据上文“Colors such as red and orange can make people feel warmer. Although it’s not unheard of, red is a less common color for airplane seats.(像红色和橙色这样的颜色会让人感觉更温暖。虽然这并非闻所未闻,但红色在飞机座位上并不常见)”可知,本句进一步说明了红色不常用在飞机座椅上的原因,因为红色让人感觉热,故F选项“登机时感到热对任何人都没有好处”符合语境,故选F。
【答案】4.G
【解析】根据上文“It is a universally well-liked color.(它是一种普遍受欢迎的颜色)”以及后文“It’s a universal color that’s appealing to most.(它是一种对大多数人都有吸引力的普遍颜色)”可知,本句具体说明了蓝色普遍受欢迎,因为很少有人讨厌蓝色,故G选项“很难找到对蓝色有强烈反感的人”符合语境,故选G。
【答案】5.B
【解析】根据上文“The right shade hides stains (污渍) well. Dark blue seats are also just practical. Imagine how many people sit in them per day. Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear as easily. Those dark blue seats will look fresher and newer for longer.(正确的颜色可以很好地隐藏污渍。深蓝色的座椅也很实用。想象一下每天有多少人坐在里面。深色的颜色更能隐藏污渍,也不容易露出污渍。那些深蓝色的座位看起来会更新鲜、更崭新)”可知,上文提到了深蓝色的座位看起来会更新鲜、更崭新,本句为本段最后一句,承接上文,说明这一设置所带来的影响。故B选项“这反映了一种很酷的专业精神”符合语境,故选B。五、完形填空

1.【答案】creativity
【解析】根据句意“我的世界(Minecraft)这款沙盒游戏的用户以其……而闻名”,空格前为形容词性物主代词“their”,其后应接名词作宾语。所给词“creative”为形容词,其名词形式为“creativity”(创造力)。
2.【答案】and
【解析】分析句子结构可知,“entire towns, cities”和“Middle-earth”为并列宾语,共同作动词“build”的宾语。它们之间是递增的并列关系(从城镇、城市到整个中土世界),应使用并列连词“and”进行连接。
3.【答案】Recently
【解析】空格位于句首,其后有逗号,通常作时间状语。所给词“recent”为形容词,其副词形式“recently”(最近)常用于句首作时间状语,修饰整个句子。
4.【答案】to observe
【解析】分析句子“he went skydiving ... its beauty”可知,“观察它的美”是“去跳伞”的目的。动词不定式(to do)常用作目的状语,表示动作的目的,因此填入“to observe”。
5.【答案】between
【解析】句意“他使用地球仪来测量各大洲……的距离”。测量的是“每(各)个大陆”之间的距离,表示“在两者(多个个体每两者之间)之间”应用介词“between”。
6.【答案】the
【解析】“the rest of...”为固定短语,意为“其余的……”。此处指“太阳系的其余部分”,因此需要定冠词“the”。
7.【答案】was created
【解析】分析句子“His virtual Sun ... using the 'brightest blocks'”,主语“His virtual Sun”与动词“create”之间为被动关系(太阳“被”创造),且描述的是过去发生的具体动作,因此应用一般过去时的被动语态“was created”。
8.【答案】stars
【解析】空格前为形容词“real-world”(现实世界的),其后应接名词作宾语。根据常识,通过望远镜观看的是“星星”,且星星为可数名词,此处泛指复数概念,因此用复数形式“stars”。
9.【答案】has received
【解析】句中有时间状语“since it was published in mid-October 2022”,表示“自从2022年10月中旬发布以来”,强调动作从过去某一时间点持续到现在,并对现在产生影响(视频观看量很高),应用现在完成时“has received”。
10.【答案】increasing
【解析】“keep doing sth.”为固定搭配,意为“持续做某事,一直做某事”。此处指“数字每天都在持续增长”,因此应用动名词形式“increasing”。
