一、单词填空
1. Look! The lovely __________(新生的)baby is sleeping well in the small bed.
2. It’s too hot today. Shall we go and buy a __________(西瓜)?
3. The student made a wonderful __________(演讲)at the school opening ceremony.
4. Suddenly, the __________ (drop) of rain started to fall on our umbrella.
5. His excellent __________ (leader) helped the team win the game at last.
6. How about __________ (organise) a party to celebrate our team’s success?
【答案】1. newborn 2. watermelon 3. speech 4. drops 5. leadership 6. organising
【解析】
1. 此处需要一个形容词修饰名词 baby,括号内中文释义为“新生的”,对应的英文单词就是newborn,它可作形容词表示“新生的”,符合句子语法和语义。故填newborn。
2. 括号内中文是“西瓜”,对应英文单词 watermelon。句中a后接可数名词单数,故填watermelon。
3. 括号内中文为“演讲”,对应的英文单词是 speech。a wonderful 后接可数名词单数,短语make a speech 意为“发表演讲”,故填speech。
4. 括号内给出的单词是drop,它作名词时意为“滴”,是可数名词。句中谓语动词started 为原形,且结合语境“雨滴开始落在我们的雨伞上”,雨滴不止一滴,因此需要用复数形式,故填drops。
5. 括号内给出的单词是leader,意为“领导者”,但句中形容词excellent修饰的应该是一个名词,且表达 “领导力”的含义,才能符合“他出色的____帮助团队最终赢得了比赛”的语义。leader 的名词形式leadership 表示“领导力”,为不可数名词,故填leadership。
6. 括号内单词为organise,句中使用了固定句型 How about doing sth.?(意为“做某事怎么样?”),介词about后接动词时,需要用其动名词形式,故填organising。
二、翻译
1.每天早上,教室里都充满了笑声。(be filled with)
2.因为重感冒,他没有去上学。(because of)
3.是时候告别旧年,迎接新年了。(say goodbye to)
4.上学前,妈妈给了我一片面包。(a piece of)
5.幸运的是,我们在火车离开前及时到达了火车站。(in time)
【答案】1.The classroom is filled with laughter every morning. 2. He didn’t go to school because of his bad cold. 3. It’s time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. 4. My mother gave me a piece of bread before I went to school. 5. Luckily, we arrived at the railway station in time before the train left.
【解析】
1. 固定搭配be filled with意为“充满……”,主语是the classroom(单数),时间状语every morning表明是一般现在时,因此be动词用 is。“笑声”译为 laughter(不可数名词),“每天早上”译为every morning,置于句末符合英语语序习惯。故答案为The classroom is filled with laughter every morning.
2. 固定搭配because of 后接名词/代词/动名词,不能接句子;“重感冒”译为 his bad cold(名词短语),符合搭配要求。句子描述过去发生的动作,用一般过去时,否定形式为 didn’t + 动词原形,go to school 为固定短语,意为“去上学”。故答案为He didn’t go to school because of his bad cold.
3. 固定句型It’s time to do sth. 意为“是时候做某事了”,it 作形式主语,真正主语是后面的不定式短语。say goodbye to… 意为“向……告别”;“迎接”译为 welcome;为避免重复,“新年”用 the new one 替代 the new year。故答案为It’s time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one.
4. 固定搭配a piece of 用于修饰不可数名词 bread,表示“一片面包”。句子描述过去的动作,用一般过去时,give 的过去式为 gave;“上学前”译为 before I went to school,时间状语从句时态与主句一致。故答案为My mother gave me a piece of bread before I went to school.
5. “幸运的是”应使用副词形式luckily,固定搭配arrive at后接小地点;“车站” 译为the railway station, “及时”译为in time,“在火车离开前”译为before the train left,时间状语从句时态与主句一般过去时保持一致。故答案为Luckily, we arrived at the railway station in time before the train left.

第三部分 Grammar 一般现在时和一般将来时的被动语态用法
【知识梳理1】一般现在时的被动语态
被动语态是英语中的一个重要语法结构,用来描述动作的承受者。一般现在时的被动语态用来描述现阶段经常发生、客观事实或普遍真理的被动动作,强调动作对主语的影响而非执行者。其基本结构如下:
句式

【知识梳理2】一般将来时的被动语态
一般将来时的被动语态描述未来将发生的被动动作,侧重动作对主语的预期影响。其基本结构如下:

主语 + will be + 过去分词
主语 + am/is/are going to be + 过去分词
A new bridge will be built next year.
A new bridge is going to be built next year.
否定句
主语 + will not be + 过去分词
主语 + am/is/are not going to be + 过去分词

一般疑问句
Will + 主语 + be + 过去分词?
肯定回答:Yes, 主语 + will.
否定回答:No, 主语 + won’t.
Am/Is/Are + 主语 + going to be + 过去分词?

Will the work be finished on time?

Is the work going to be finished on time?
Yes, it is.

特殊疑问句
特殊疑问词 + will + 主语 + be + 过去分词?
特殊疑问词 + am/is/are + 主语 + going to be +
过去分词?

3. We won’t finish the project until next week. (改为含被动语态的句子)
The project ______ ______ ______ until next week.
【答案】1. C 2. When will be released 3. won’t be finished
【知识梳理3】不能使用被动语态的动词
在英语中,不能使用被动语态的动词主要分为三类:不及物动词、系动词和部分表示状态或关系的及物动词,因为这类动词没有宾语,而被动语态的构成需要以“宾语变主语”为前提。
1. 不及物动词
不及物动词本身不能直接接宾语,因此无法转换为被动语态。常见的有:happen, take place, come, go, arrive, leave等。
2. 系动词
系动词的功能是连接主语和表语,没有实际的动作对象,不能用于被动语态。常见的有:be, seem, look, sound, smell, taste, feel, become, get, turn等。
3. 表示状态或关系的及物动词
这类动词虽然是及物动词,但表示的是主语的状态、属性或关系,而非动作,通常不用于被动语态。常见的有:have, own, understand, know等。
判断动词能否用于被动语态的核心:该动词在句中是否有逻辑宾语。
有宾语 → 可用于被动语态(如:He wrote a letter. → A letter was written by him.)
无宾语 → 不可用于被动语态
【即时练习】
1. Many leaves __________ (turn) yellow in autumn.
2. The cake __________ (smell) really delicious. Can I have one, Mum?
3. Don’t worry. She __________ (arrive) at the airport on time.
【答案】1. turn 2. smells 3. will arrive
【知识梳理4】一般现在时和一般将来时被动语态的对比记忆口诀
一般现在被动易,am/is/are + done 记心底;
一般将来被动式,will/be going to + be done 莫忘记;
动作对象作主语,语态转换有意义;
不及物动词无被动,这点千万要牢记。
【即时练习】
1. We follow the team rules strictly.(改为含被动语态的句子)
_______________________________________________________
2. We will hold a sports meeting next week.(改为含被动语态的句子)
_______________________________________________________
3. 昨天发生了一起严重的交通事故。(翻译句子)
______________________________________________________
【答案】1. The team rules are followed strictly (by us). 2. A sports meeting will be hold (by us) next week.

【答案】
1. reminded
2.filled
3.singer
4.to see
5.carefully
6.grow
【解析】
1. 从句中would have是过去将来时,表明主句动作发生在过去,需用一般过去时。remind的过去式为 reminded,故填reminded。
2. 本题考查固定搭配be filled with,意为“充满……”,是被动结构的常用短语。fill 的过去分词为filled,故填filled。
3. 不定冠词a后需接可数名词单数,sing是动词,意为“唱歌”,其对应的职业名词为singer(歌手),故填singer。
4. 本题考查固定句型It’s + adj. + to do sth.,表示“做某事是…… 的”,it作形式主语,真正主语是不定式。故填to see。
5. 空格处需填副词修饰动词cut(切),careful是形容词,意为“小心的”,其副词形式为carefully,故填carefully。
6. 本题考查固定搭配watch sb. do sth.,表示“观看某人做某事的全过程”。grow用原形符合该结构,故填grow。
二、单词拼写

【解析】
7. a sense of后接名词,“成就”的名词形式是achievement,且此处表示抽象意义,用单数形式。故填achievement。
8. 句子主语this old building和“认为”是被动关系,用被动语态be+过去分词,consider的过去分词是considered。故填considered。
9. 根据语境可知动作发生在过去,用一般过去时,“鼓励”的过去式是encouraged。故填encouraged。

四、阅读理解
How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.
The 23-year-old climber is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. The records of Katibin and Leonardo are 5 seconds and 4.90 seconds. People call Cao “the fastest man in China” or “Chinese Spider-Man”.
According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be immaculate.
Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first got into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩) . He was doing very well. However, he got injured and had a surgery (手术) at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body.
It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better divide power to different parts of my body,” Cao said.
In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a thing of the past. “I’ll keep trying to do better and be better,” said Cao.
26.How fast can Cao Long climb 15 meters?
A.5 seconds. B.4.90 seconds. C.4.98 seconds. D.5 minutes.
27.What does the underlined word “immaculate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.perfect B.lucky C.normal D.challenging
28.What’s the correct order of the following events according to Cao Long?
① Cao got injured. ② Cao decided to try speed climbing.
③ Cao finished the speed climbing route in less than 5 seconds. ④ Cao tried climbing.
A.②④③① B.④①②③ C.④①③② D.④②①③
29.What is Cao like according to the passage?
A.Hardworking, brave and smart. B.Serious, talented and honest.
C.Calm, polite and careful. D.Creative, loving and helpful.
30.What’s the best title of this passage?
A.Cao Long’s Story. B.Chinese Spider-Man.
C.Speed Climbing. D.Speed Climber.
【答案】26.C 27.A 28.B 29.A 30.B
【解析】本文介绍了中国速度攀岩运动员曹龙以4.98秒的成绩完成15米攀爬的壮举,被称为“中国蜘蛛侠”,并讲述了他从受伤转向速度攀岩的历程及其对比赛的深刻理解。
26.细节理解题。根据第1段“The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds”可知,曹龙攀爬15米用时4.98秒。故选C。
27.词句猜测题。根据“If you want to succeed, everything has to be immaculate”及上下文可知,速度攀岩是一项高度紧张且以秒为单位的运动,成功需要“完美无缺”的表现。所以推断,immaculate意为“完美的”。故选A。
28.细节理解题。根据“Cao tried climbing at the age of 8...he got injured and had a surgery at the age of 18...decided to try speed climbing”及第1段“finished the speed climbing route in 4.98 seconds”可知,按照时间的先后顺序应为:④曹龙8岁开始攀岩→①18岁时受伤并手术→②因身体压力转向速度攀岩→③以4.98秒完成竞速路线,即④①②③。故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据“He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body.”(受伤后转向其他领域)和“I’ll keep trying to do better.”(追求更好的成绩)及“I know how to better divide power”(懂得分配身体力量)可知,他勤奋、勇敢且聪明。故选A。
30.最佳标题题。全文围绕曹龙的速度攀岩成就展开,并提到他被称为“中国蜘蛛侠”(“Chinese Spider-Man”),这一称呼生动概括了他的特点。故选B。

第三部分 Grammar 一般现在时和一般将来时的被动语态用法
【知识梳理1】一般现在时的被动语态
被动语态是英语中的一个重要语法结构,用来描述动作的承受者。一般现在时的被动语态用来描述现阶段经常发生、客观事实或普遍真理的被动动作,强调动作对主语的影响而非执行者。其基本结构如下:
句式
结构
例句
肯定句
主语 + am/is/are + 过去分词
The classroom is cleaned every day.
否定句
主语 + am/is/are + not + 过去分词?
These shoes aren’t made by hand.
一般疑问句
Am/Is/Are + 主语 + 过去分词
肯定回答:Yes, 主语 + am/is/are.
否定回答:No, 主语 + am not / isn’t / aren’t.
Is English widely used all over the world?
Yes, it is.
No, it isn’t.
特殊疑问句
特殊疑问词 + am/is/are + 主语 + 过去分词?
Where is tea grown?
【即时练习】
1. Rice ____________ (grow) in the south of China.
2. My mother waters the flowers every day.(改为含被动语态的句子)
The flowers _________ ________ by my mother every day.
3. The little boy is taken good care of by his grandparents.(改为一般疑问句并作肯定回答)
______ the little boy ______ good care of by his grandparents?
Yes, ______ ______.
【知识梳理2】一般将来时的被动语态
一般将来时的被动语态描述未来将发生的被动动作,侧重动作对主语的预期影响。其基本结构如下:
句式
结构
例句
肯定句
主语 + will be + 过去分词
主语 + am/is/are going to be + 过去分词
A new bridge will be built next year.
A new bridge is going to be built next year.
否定句
主语 + will not be + 过去分词
主语 + am/is/are not going to be + 过去分词
The sports meeting won’t be held this week.
The sports meeting isn’t going to be held this week.
一般疑问句
Will + 主语 + be + 过去分词?
肯定回答:Yes, 主语 + will.
否定回答:No, 主语 + won’t.
Am/Is/Are + 主语 + going to be + 过去分词?
肯定回答:Yes, 主语 + am/is/are.
否定回答:No, 主语 + am not / isn’t / aren’t.
Will the work be finished on time?

No, it won’t.
Is the work going to be finished on time?

No, it isn’t.
特殊疑问句
特殊疑问词 + will + 主语 + be + 过去分词?
特殊疑问词 + am/is/are + 主语 + going to be +
过去分词?
When will the books be put?
When are the books going to be put?
【即时练习】

_______ ______ the new movie ______ ______?
3. We won’t finish the project until next week. (改为含被动语态的句子)
The project ______ ______ ______ until next week.
【知识梳理3】不能使用被动语态的动词
在英语中,不能使用被动语态的动词主要分为三类:不及物动词、系动词和部分表示状态或关系的及物动词,因为这类动词没有宾语,而被动语态的构成需要以“宾语变主语”为前提。
1. 不及物动词
不及物动词本身不能直接接宾语,因此无法转换为被动语态。常见的有:happen, take place, come, go, arrive, leave等。
2. 系动词
系动词的功能是连接主语和表语,没有实际的动作对象,不能用于被动语态。常见的有:be, seem, look, sound, smell, taste, feel, become, get, turn等。
3. 表示状态或关系的及物动词
这类动词虽然是及物动词,但表示的是主语的状态、属性或关系,而非动作,通常不用于被动语态。常见的有:have, own, understand, know等。
判断动词能否用于被动语态的核心:该动词在句中是否有逻辑宾语。
有宾语 → 可用于被动语态(如:He wrote a letter. → A letter was written by him.)
无宾语 → 不可用于被动语态
【即时练习】
1. Many leaves __________ (turn) yellow in autumn.
2. The cake __________ (smell) really delicious. Can I have one, Mum?
3. Don’t worry. She __________ (arrive) at the airport on time.
【知识梳理4】一般现在时和一般将来时被动语态的对比记忆口诀
一般现在被动易,am/is/are + done 记心底;
一般将来被动式,will/be going to + be done 莫忘记;
动作对象作主语,语态转换有意义;
不及物动词无被动,这点千万要牢记。

四、阅读理解
How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.
The 23-year-old climber is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. The records of Katibin and Leonardo are 5 seconds and 4.90 seconds. People call Cao “the fastest man in China” or “Chinese Spider-Man”.
According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be immaculate.
Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first got into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩) . He was doing very well. However, he got injured and had a surgery (手术) at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body.
It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better divide power to different parts of my body,” Cao said.
In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a thing of the past. “I’ll keep trying to do better and be better,” said Cao.
