【解析】
【详解】句意:如果我去延吉,我会尝试所有美味的当地美食。/当我去延吉时,我会尝试所有美味的当地美食。根据“I will try all the delicious local food”可知,这里表达的是计划,所以是一种假设,if和when都符合语境,注意句首首字母大写。故填if/when。

【答案】achieve##realize
【解析】

3. —________ a lovely cake!
—Yes, I made it for you.
【答案】What
【解析】
【详解】句意:——多么可爱的蛋糕啊!——是的,我为你做的。根据“What + a/an + 形容词 + 单数可数名词!”可知,“a lovely cake”为“a + 形容词 + 单数可数名词”结构,需用What引导感叹句,且句首单词首字母大写。故填What。

考查动词辨析。increase增加;disappear消失;spread传播。根据前文“more and more people prefer to read e-books”可知,电子书越来越受欢迎,但通过“but”转折,表达作者认为纸质书不会完全消失,因此应选择表示“消失”的动词。故选B。

Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity (慈善机构). I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.
That month changed my life. Rwanda was very different from the UK. People there had difficult lives, but they were always kind and helped each other. They smiled a lot and shared food. I learned that we sometimes forget how lucky we are.
In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

Mars, robots, higher prices and more
What will the world look like in 2045? I recently talked with four American students. The following are their thoughts on this question.
In 2045, the kids think, humans will be able to live on Mars. They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a “rest”. “And when we come back, we must try not to pollute as much.” says Stark.
But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation (居住). The kids agree that we must take action to clean up the Earth right away. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.”
The kids also talked about the future jobs.
“I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs.”
Many jobs, the kids predict, will be replaced (代替) by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark. But they believe the power to shape the future is in humans’ hands. “The world will be a better place, but of course, we need to work hard, and we all need to learn to be kind to others.”
根据短文内容,判断下列各句正(T)、误(F)。
46. Five American students gave their thoughts about the world in 2045.
47. The kids think humans will be able to live on Mars to give the Earth a rest.
48. The kids agree that we must take action to clean up the Earth at once.

50. They believe the power to shape the future is in robots’ hands.
【答案】46. F 47. T
48. T 49. F
50. F
【解析】
【导语】四名美国学生描绘了2045年的未来愿景:人类或需移居火星以缓解地球压力,但更紧迫的是立即着手修复地球。面对机器人取代多数工作的趋势,他们坚信,通过人类自身的努力与善意,方能塑造更美好的世界。

Tanghulu is a traditional snack from Northern China. People of all ages love it, especially kids.
It is usually made of haws (山楂), which are full of vitamin C. About 800 years ago, one of the emperor’s wives was sick and had a poor appetite. The doctor told her to eat 10 boiled haws with sugar before dinner. She felt better after two weeks. People heard about it and started making it too. They put haws on sticks, dipped them in hot sugary syrup (糖浆), and dried. The syrup made a hard and sweet shell around haws, like wearing a sugar jacket. They taste both sweet and sour at the same time.
Now people use many other fruits to make Tanghulu, such as cherry tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, bananas, or grapes. To make Tanghulu at home is super easy, and takes less than 20 minutes. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack for yourself or treating friends, Tanghulu is a good choice. Here are the steps:
a) Thread each fruit onto a bamboo stick. You can use the whole fruit or cut it into small pieces.
b) Make the syrup. Cook the sugar with water until it turns into large bubbles.

Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity (慈善机构). I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.
That month changed my life. Rwanda was very different from the UK. People there had difficult lives, but they were always kind and helped each other. They smiled a lot and shared food. I learned that we sometimes forget how lucky we are.
In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

Mars, robots, higher prices and more
What will the world look like in 2045? I recently talked with four American students. The following are their thoughts on this question.
In 2045, the kids think, humans will be able to live on Mars. They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a “rest”. “And when we come back, we must try not to pollute as much.” says Stark.
But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation (居住). The kids agree that we must take action to clean up the Earth right away. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.”
The kids also talked about the future jobs.
“I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs.”
Many jobs, the kids predict, will be replaced (代替) by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark. But they believe the power to shape the future is in humans’ hands. “The world will be a better place, but of course, we need to work hard, and we all need to learn to be kind to others.”
根据短文内容,判断下列各句正(T)、误(F)。
46. Five American students gave their thoughts about the world in 2045.

Tanghulu is a traditional snack from Northern China. People of all ages love it, especially kids.
It is usually made of haws (山楂), which are full of vitamin C. About 800 years ago, one of the emperor’s wives was sick and had a poor appetite. The doctor told her to eat 10 boiled haws with sugar before dinner. She felt better after two weeks. People heard about it and started making it too. They put haws on sticks, dipped them in hot sugary syrup (糖浆), and dried. The syrup made a hard and sweet shell around haws, like wearing a sugar jacket. They taste both sweet and sour at the same time.
Now people use many other fruits to make Tanghulu, such as cherry tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, bananas, or grapes. To make Tanghulu at home is super easy, and takes less than 20 minutes. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack for yourself or treating friends, Tanghulu is a good choice. Here are the steps:
a) Thread each fruit onto a bamboo stick. You can use the whole fruit or cut it into small pieces.
b) Make the syrup. Cook the sugar with water until it turns into large bubbles.
c) Carefully dip the fruit into the hot syrup, and then quickly put it into the ice water. This will help harden the syrup.
Why not have a try at home?
