A. an; a B. an; the C. the; an D. a; an 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为教育每个学生如何成为对社会有用的人是我们的责任。 ——我同意。至少是个诚实的人。 考查冠词。第一空泛指“一个有用的人”，且“useful”是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此用a；第二空泛指“一个诚实的人”，且“honest”是以元音音素开头的单词，因此用an。故选D。 2. Our school pays much attention to the ______ of safety every term. A. development B. importance C. advertisement D. difference 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们学校每学期都非常重视安全的重要性。 考查名词辨析。development发展；importance重要；advertisement广告；difference差异。根据“pays much attention to the ... of safety”结合生活可知，学校很重视安全问题，所以此处指的是安全的重要性，故选B。 3. Joan is ready to help people who are in need any time. ________, she studies very hard. All the teachers like her. A. Moreover B. Instead C. However D. Finally 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：Joan随时准备帮助需要帮助的人。而且，她学习非常努力。所有老师都喜欢她。 考查副词辨析。Moreover而且；Instead相反；However然而；Finally最后。空格前后句意表示递进关系，强调Joan的另一个优点，因此使用表示补充的“Moreover”。故选A。 4. —Who bought the birthday cake for you? —Oh! My father made it by ________. A. myself B. yourself C. herself D. himself 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——谁给你买的生日蛋糕？——哦！我爸爸自己做的。 考查反身代词。myself我自己；yourself你自己；herself她自己；himself他自己；句子主语是“My father”，所以此处指的是“他自己”，所以用himself表示。故选D。 5. —Shall we visit Wuhu Ancient City? —Yup. Just as the Chinese saying goes, “To hear a hundred times is ________ to see once.” A. as good as B. not so good as C. not so well as D. as well as 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们去参观芜湖古城吧？——好。正如中国俗语所说：“百闻不如一见。” 考查固定搭配和比较结构。as good as和……一样好，good为形容词；not so good as不如……好；not so well as不如……好，well为副词；as well as和……一样好（也作“以及”解）。俗语“百闻不如一见”的英文对应表达为“To hear a hundred times is not so good as to see once.”，强调“听百次不如见一次”，用not so good as表示“不如……好”，形容词good在句中作表语。故选B。 6. Andy ________ some gifts from his friends, but he didn’t ________ them. A. receive; accepted B. accepted; receive C. received; accept D. accept; receive 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：安迪收到了朋友们的一些礼物，但他没有接受它们。 考查动词辨析。receive表示“收到”（客观行为）；accept表示“接受”（主观意愿）。根据转折词but和语境，安迪收到了礼物但没有接受，所以第一空表示客观收到礼物，且该句为一般过去时，谓语动词用received；第二空表示主观上不愿接受，助动词didn’t后用动词原形accept。故选C。 7. —Jane, is your plan for the weekend picnic finished? —Not yet. Carol and I ________ it these days. A. am making B. made C. are making D. will make 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——简，你们周末野餐的计划完成了吗？——还没有。卡罗尔和我这些天正在制定它。 考查动词时态。根据“Not yet”以及时间状语“these days”可知，计划尚未完成，这几天正在制定。此处是现在进行时be doing，表示现阶段正在发生的动作，且“Carol and I”为复数主语，be动词用are。故选C。 8. The structure of the sentence “He sent me a message.” is ________. A. S+V+O B. S+V+P C. S+V+IO+DO D. S+V 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：句子“他给我发了一条信息”的结构是主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语。 考查句子结构分析。S+V+O主语+谓语+宾语；S+V+P主语+谓语+表语；S+V+IO+DO主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语；S+V主语+谓语。原句中“He”是主语，“sent”是谓语动词，“me”是间接宾语，“a message”是直接宾语，符合“主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语”的结构。故选C。 9. Please read the words carefully. The ________ you are, the ________ mistakes you’ll make. A. more careful; less B. more careful; fewer C. more carefully; fewer D. most carefully; fewer 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：请仔细阅读这些单词。你越小心，犯的错误就越少。 考查形容词比较级、形容词用法和形容词辨析。careful仔细的，形容词；carefully仔细地，副词；less更少的，修饰不可数名词；fewer更少的，修饰可数名词复数。此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”，表示“越……就越……”，第一个空是are的表语，故用形容词careful的比较级more careful，第二个空后mistakes“错误”为可数名词复数，所以用fewer修饰。故选B。 10. —So you mean you don’t like the book? —________. I like the stories in the book, but I don’t like the writing style. A. Not at all B. Not exactly C. Maybe D. You are right 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——所以你的意思是你不喜欢这本书？——不完全是这样。我喜欢书中的故事，但我不喜欢它的写作风格。 考查情景交际。Not at all一点也不；Not exactly不完全是；Maybe也许；You are right你是对的。根据答句中“我喜欢书中的故事，但我不喜欢它的写作风格”可知，说话者并非完全否定这本书，因此用“Not exactly”表示不完全同意对方的判断。故选B。 Ⅵ. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A It wasn’t easy for Sally to become a successful writer.

Its main job was to carry heavy loads (负载), such as rubbish, acting as a “porter (脚夫)” on the mountain and meeting the need for human workers. Every year, Taishan Mountain receives millions of visitors. These tourists produced nearly 24,000 tons of waste every year. As large machines couldn’t be used and the rubbish had to be collected by hand, it is harder and more expensive to clean and transport the rubbish because of the rough terrain (地形) in the Taishan Mountain. To solve this problem, the scenic area tested robotic dogs for waste collection. The tested robotic dogs were some of the fastest and most advanced industrial-grade quadruped (四足的) robots on the market. They could cross obstacles (障碍) easily, keep good balance, and carry heavy loads for a long time. Tests were carried out over three days at the base, middle and top of the mountain. The robotic dogs, with a shelf and box that could carry 30 to 40 kilograms, were tested for climbing ability and load-bearing capacity (承载能力) on the hard terrain. Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours, while the average time for adult tourists not carrying a heavy load was around four hours. The robots could work for four to six hours on a full charge. During the tests, the robotic dogs fit over 80 percent of the mountain’s terrain. Many tourists were attracted by these robotic dogs. Wang Yang, a tourist from Heilongjiang Province, said, “I saw it climbing and took a photo with it. It’s unbelievable.” 42. What is the main job of the robotic dog in the Taishan Mountain scenic area? A. To guide tourists everywhere. B. To protect the environment. C. To clean the scenic area directly. D. To carry heavy things like rubbish. 43. Why is it difficult to clean and transport the rubbish in Taishan Mountain? A. Because there are too many tourists. B. Because cleaners can’t use big machines. C. Because the rubbish is too heavy. D. Because the tourists don’t help the cleaners. 44. Which of the following is not mentioned about the robotic dog? A. Its appearance. B. Its capacity. C. Its colour. D. Its function. 45. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5 about robotic dogs? A. They are more suitable for long-distance mountain climbing. B. They may greatly help solve the problem of rubbish collection. C. They can make 6 round trips on the mountain with a full charge. D. They can do the work of all humans in mountain-related work. 【答案】42. D 43. B 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了在山东泰安的泰山景区，机器狗被用来携带重物如垃圾，作为山上的“脚夫”，以满足对人类对工人的需求。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Its main job was to carry heavy loads (负载), such as rubbish, acting as a ‘porter (脚夫)’ on the mountain and meeting the need for human workers.”可知，机器狗的主要工作是携带像垃圾这样的重物。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As large machines couldn’t be used and the rubbish had to be collected by hand, it is harder and more expensive to clean and transport the rubbish because of the rough terrain (地形) in the Taishan Mountain.”可知，因为大型机器不能使用，只能手工收集垃圾，且泰山地形崎岖，所以清理和运输垃圾更困难、更昂贵。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据“The tested robotic dogs were some of the fastest and most advanced industrial-grade quadruped (四足的) robots on the market. They could cross obstacles (障碍) easily, keep good balance, and carry heavy loads for a long time.”以及“Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours...The robots could work for four to six hours on a full charge. During the tests, the robotic dogs fit over 80 percent of the mountain’s terrain.”可知，文中提到了机器狗的外观（四足机器人）、爬坡能力（能两小时内从山底到山顶）、负载能力（长时间携带重物）、工作时间（充满电可工作四到六小时）和适应地形能力（能适应超过80%的山地地形）等容量和功能方面的内容，但未提及机器狗颜色相关内容。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours, while the average time for adult tourists not carrying a heavy load was around four hours. The robots could work for four to six hours on a full charge. During the tests, the robotic dogs fit over 80 percent of the mountain’s terrain.”可知，机器狗能在两小时内从山底到达山顶，而成年游客不携带重物平均需要四小时，且机器狗充满电可工作四到六小时，能适应超过80%的山地地形，由此可推断它们可能极大地帮助解决垃圾收集问题。故选B。 D Do you find that you learn things faster than your parents sometimes? Congratulations, you could be right! Scientists at Brown University, US, found that school-aged children learn new knowledge and skills faster than grown-ups. This has something to do with a chemical (化学物质) called GABA in our brains. It reduces brain noise so that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new knowledge stay longer in our heads. The scientists scanned (扫描) the brains of children (8-11 years old) and adults (18-35 years old) before, during, and after doing a learning task. It turned out that when children learn new things, the amount of GABA rises quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults. The finding, the scientists said, should encourage teachers and parents to let children learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument and learning times tables (乘法表) in their childhood. It could also be used to help adults learn faster by increasing the amount of GABA in their brains. 46. What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)? A. The scientist. B. GABA. C. Learning task. D. Learn things faster. 47. Why do children learn faster than adults? A. There is some GABA in children’s brains. B. There is more GABA in children’s brains than in adults’. C. Teachers and parents encourage children to learn more. D. GABA in children’s brains grows in amount quickly. 48. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Parents could help children learn more. B. Adults could learn as much as possible. C. Teachers should teach adults more than they could. D. Teachers should teach children according to their level. 49. What’s the best title of the text? A. School-aged children learn new knowledge slower B. Grown-ups learn new knowledge slower C. The reasons why children learn new things faster D. The reasons why adults learn new things faster 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项科学研究，该研究发现了一种名为GABA的化学物质，解释了为什么学龄儿童比成年人学习新知识和技能更快。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This has something to do with a chemical (化学物质) called GABA in our brains. It reduces brain noise so that we can learn things more easily.”可知，代词it指代的是前一句中提到的名词短语“a chemical (化学物质) called GABA”。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It turned out that when children learn new things, the amount of GABA rises quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults.”可知，儿童学习新事物时，他们大脑中GABA的含量会迅速增加，而成年人大脑中变化很小，这就是儿童学习更快的原因。故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The finding, the scientists said, should encourage teachers and parents to let children learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument and learning times tables (乘法表) in their childhood.”可知，研究结果表明，老师和家长应该鼓励孩子在童年时期学习任何东西，这意味着家长可以帮助孩子学到更多。故选A。 【49题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章围绕一项科学发现展开，旨在解释儿童比成人学习速度更快的原因，即他们大脑中GABA化学物质的快速增加。因此，最合适的标题是“孩子学新东西更快的原因”。故选C。 E Some people think that only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t talk to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! 50. The passage tells us ________ have a communication problem. A. parents and other people B. school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages 51. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “________”. A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly 52. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better ________. A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them C. agree with them all the time D. know about their values 【答案】50. D 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了父母与子女之间沟通的问题，并给出了消除代沟的实用建议。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.”可知，所有年龄段的父母和孩子都存在沟通问题。故选D。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Don’t talk to your parents when you are angry…And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry.”以及后文“Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents.”可知，“cool off”指的是在生气后让自己冷静下来、平复情绪。选项B“让你安静放松下来”符合语境。故选B。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.”可知，当与父母有代沟时，应告诉你的父母你关心什么以及为什么，因此是需要常和父母沟通。故选A。 F 请认真阅读短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卷标有题号的横线上。 “Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that my English teacher has taught. It is an easy rule, but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow. This morning, I had an experience with a “rule breaker” during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat behind me. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice, “I hope you studied for this exam!” I gave him a smile, not sure if he was joking, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little more closely towards my paper, “I can’t see!” James said. “What am I going to do? Cheating is wrong.” I thought to myself. I tapped (轻敲) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. No easy answer came. I just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James mad. So I guarded (守卫) my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers. When the exam ended, I said to James. “Sorry, James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating,” I said slowly and softly. But maybe I could help you study before the next exam.” “OK,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I’ll give it a try.” I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn’t been destroyed (破坏). Mrs. Archer would be proud. 53. Who was the “rule breaker”? ______________________________________________ 54. Why did the writer think his English teacher would be proud? ______________________________________________ 55. Will you help your friend cheat in an exam? Why or why not? ______________________________________________ 【答案】53. James. 54. Because he didn’t help others cheat in the exam. 55. No, I won’t. Because I have to obey the exam rules. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个学生在考试中遇到朋友想作弊的故事。 【53题详解】 根据“This morning, I had an experience with a ‘rule breaker’ during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat behind me.”可知，詹姆斯是“规则破坏者”。故填James. 【54题详解】 根据“So I guarded (守卫) my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers.”和“Mrs. Archer would be proud.”可知，作者认为他的英语老师会感到骄傲是因为他没有在考试的时候帮别人作弊。故填Because he didn’t help others cheat in the exam. 【55题详解】 开放性试题，答案合理即可。故填No, I won’t. Because I have to obey the exam rules. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ. 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据所给单词及汉语提示，使用适当形式填空，使句意明确、语言通顺。 56.

Lily wrote down some notes on a piece of paper, but her mother ________ (扔) it away by mistake. 【答案】threw 【解析】 【详解】句意：莉莉在一张纸上写下了一些笔记，但她妈妈不小心把它扔掉了。根据汉语提示及“wrote”可知，该句时态为一般过去时，throw“扔”的过去式为threw。故填threw。 58.

On the day I visited it, the sky was clear and the sun was ____________ (shine). 【答案】shining 【解析】 【详解】句意：在我参观的那天，天空晴朗，阳光灿烂。shine“照耀”，动词。根据“On the day I visited it, the sky was clear and the sun was...”可知，此处描述参观当天太阳的状态，且空前有was，所以用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+动词现在分词”，shine的现在分词为shining。故填shining。 60.

C In the Taishan Mountain scenic (风景) area in Tai’an, Shandong Province, a robotic dog was tested. Its main job was to carry heavy loads (负载), such as rubbish, acting as a “porter (脚夫)” on the mountain and meeting the need for human workers. Every year, Taishan Mountain receives millions of visitors. These tourists produced nearly 24,000 tons of waste every year. As large machines couldn’t be used and the rubbish had to be collected by hand, it is harder and more expensive to clean and transport the rubbish because of the rough terrain (地形) in the Taishan Mountain. To solve this problem, the scenic area tested robotic dogs for waste collection. The tested robotic dogs were some of the fastest and most advanced industrial-grade quadruped (四足的) robots on the market. They could cross obstacles (障碍) easily, keep good balance, and carry heavy loads for a long time. Tests were carried out over three days at the base, middle and top of the mountain. The robotic dogs, with a shelf and box that could carry 30 to 40 kilograms, were tested for climbing ability and load-bearing capacity (承载能力) on the hard terrain. Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours, while the average time for adult tourists not carrying a heavy load was around four hours. The robots could work for four to six hours on a full charge. During the tests, the robotic dogs fit over 80 percent of the mountain’s terrain. Many tourists were attracted by these robotic dogs.

D Do you find that you learn things faster than your parents sometimes? Congratulations, you could be right! Scientists at Brown University, US, found that school-aged children learn new knowledge and skills faster than grown-ups. This has something to do with a chemical (化学物质) called GABA in our brains. It reduces brain noise so that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new knowledge stay longer in our heads. The scientists scanned (扫描) the brains of children (8-11 years old) and adults (18-35 years old) before, during, and after doing a learning task. It turned out that when children learn new things, the amount of GABA rises quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than adults. The finding, the scientists said, should encourage teachers and parents to let children learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument and learning times tables (乘法表) in their childhood. It could also be used to help adults learn faster by increasing the amount of GABA in their brains. 46. What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)? A. The scientist. B. GABA. C. Learning task. D. Learn things faster. 47. Why do children learn faster than adults? A. There is some GABA in children’s brains. B. There is more GABA in children’s brains than in adults’. C. Teachers and parents encourage children to learn more. D. GABA in children’s brains grows in amount quickly. 48. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Parents could help children learn more. B. Adults could learn as much as possible. C. Teachers should teach adults more than they could. D. Teachers should teach children according to their level. 49. What’s the best title of the text? A. School-aged children learn new knowledge slower B. Grown-ups learn new knowledge slower C. The reasons why children learn new things faster D. The reasons why adults learn new things faster E Some people think that only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t talk to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! 50.

The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “________”. A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly 52.

A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them C. agree with them all the time D. know about their values F 请认真阅读短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卷标有题号的横线上。 “Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that my English teacher has taught. It is an easy rule, but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow. This morning, I had an experience with a “rule breaker” during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat behind me. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice, “I hope you studied for this exam!” I gave him a smile, not sure if he was joking, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little more closely towards my paper, “I can’t see!” James said. “What am I going to do? Cheating is wrong.” I thought to myself. I tapped (轻敲) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. No easy answer came. I just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James mad. So I guarded (守卫) my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers. When the exam ended I said to James. “Sorry, James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating,” I said slowly and softly. But maybe I could help you study before the next exam.” “OK,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I’ll give it a try.” I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn’t been destroyed (破坏). Mrs. Archer would be proud. 53. Who was the “rule breaker”? ______________________________________________ 54.
