A. something special B. anything special C. special anything 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：大多数人在看完福航脱口秀后都很兴奋。节目中有什么特别之处吗？ something special特别的东西（用于肯定句）；anything special特别的东西（用于疑问句或否定句）；special anything（语序错误）。根据“Is there...in the show?”可知，该句为疑问句，应用anything，且形容词修饰不定代词时需后置，anything special符合语境。 2. Xi’an is ________ popular ________ many people want to go there for a trip. A. so; that B. too; to C. very; that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：西安是如此受欢迎，以至于许多人都想去那里旅行。 so...that...如此……以至于……；too...to... 太……而不能……;very...that...搭配错误（very不与that 直接构成固定句型）。根据句意，后半句“许多人想去”是前半句“受欢迎”的结果，应使用“so...that...”引导结果状语从句。 3. —Is your hair as ______ as Mary’s? —No, her hair is ______ than mine. A. longer; long B. long; long C. long; longer 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的头发和玛丽的一样长吗？——不，她的头发比我的长。 考查形容词原级和比较级。第一空as...as中间用形容词原级long；第二空后有than，用比较级longer。故选C。 4.

A. take off B. take up C. take away 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我妹妹下学期打算培养一个新的爱好，比如数字绘画或嘻哈舞蹈。take off起飞/脱下；take up开始从事/培养（爱好）；take away拿走。根据题干“a new hobby”可知，此处表示“培养”新爱好，应填take up。 5. —Could I use your phone to call my parents? —________. Here you are. A. Sorry, you can’t B. Yes, you could C. Sure 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我可以用你的手机给我父母打个电话吗？——当然可以。给你。 Sorry, you can’t 抱歉，你不能；Yes, you could是的，你可以（could 在回答中一般不重复使用）；Sure 当然。根据答语“Here you are.”可知，对方同意借手机，应选择表示肯定的回答。选项C“Sure”符合英语交际习惯，简洁且自然。 6. —________ delicious the hot and sour soup tastes! — Thank you. I learned to cook it from the textbook’s recipe. A. How B. What C. What a 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这酸辣汤尝起来多么美味啊！——谢谢，我是按照课本上的食谱学着做的。 How多么；What多么/什么；What a多么一个。根据句子末尾感叹号可知，这是一个感叹句。基本结构为：How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！或 What + (a/an) + 形容词 + 名词+主语+谓语！本题中空格后紧跟形容词delicious，且没有冠词或名词直接出现，因此应填How。 7. I think my aunt ________ to our house if it ________ tomorrow. A. will come; won’t rain B. comes; won’t rain C. will come; doesn’t rain 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为如果明天不下雨，我姑姑会来我们家。 if 引导条件状语从句遵循主将从现原则，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，应填will come; doesn’t rain。 8. —How much did you ________ for these books? —I ________ about 100 yuan on them. A. cost; pay B. spend; cost C. pay; spent 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这些书你花了多少钱？——我在它们上面花了大约一百元。 cost花费；pay付款；spend花费。pay for是固定搭配表示“付款”，spend...on...是固定搭配表示“在某物上花费”，问句有助动词did后用动词原形，答句用一般过去时，应填pay; spent。 9. To keep healthy, we should eat ________ junk food and ________ vegetables. A. fewer; less B. fewer; more C. less; more 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了保持健康，我们应该吃更少的垃圾食品，更多的蔬菜。 fewer更少的（修饰可数名词复数）；less更少的（修饰不可数名词）；more更多的。junk food为不可数名词，用less修饰；vegetables为可数名词复数，根据句意表示“更多的蔬菜”，用more修饰。故选C。 10. —Would you like to go to the history museum with me this Sunday? —________. I love to explore the beauty of history. A. I’m afraid I can’t B. I’d love to C. Thanks 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这周日你想和我一起去历史博物馆吗？——我很愿意去。我喜欢探索历史之美。 I’m afraid I can’t恐怕我不能去；I’d love to我很愿意去；Thanks谢谢根据答语后半句“I love to explore the beauty of history.”可知，说话人喜欢历史，因此应表示愿意接受邀请。故选I’d love to。 Ⅲ. 完形填空：（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 The sunlight came through the windows, bringing in the hot summer air.

Today’s spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at traveling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels (燃料), and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water- powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon. The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (发动机). Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels (太阳能板) that heat water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars. Today’s spaceships could not carry that much water. But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to… One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material. Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. “Balloon” spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath! Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water. 31. Which sentence best describes the main idea of the passage above? A. The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine. B. In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship. C. One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. D. Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. 32. What do you think is omitted (省略) at the end of the underlined sentence? A. use steam B. push spaceships C. heat water D. carry that much water 33. Besides growing food, what else might astronauts do with the rest of the water? A. Take a hot bath. B. Freeze dangerous things. C. Blow up a balloon. D. Change the surface of Mars. 34. What’s the biggest advantage of a water-powered spaceship? A. It’s stronger. B. It’s safer. C. It’s cheaper. D. It’s bigger. 35. On which website can we probably read this passage? A. www.freedictionary.com/power B. www.mooc.cn/music C. www.chinadaily.com.cn/culture D. www.space.com/spaceflight 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了未来可能用于火星旅行的水动力飞船。 【31题详解】 首段：“In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship!” 及全文围绕此展开，说明核心是未来人们可能乘坐水动力飞船前往火星。 【32题详解】 第二段指明：“Today’s spaceships could not carry that much water. But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to…”，此处句意发生了转折，说明“气球式”飞船能够解决这一问题，即能够携带这么多水。 【33题详解】 第三段指明：“With the ‘Balloon’ spaceships... grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!”，表明除了种植食物，剩余的水还可以用来洗热水澡。 【34题详解】 第四段指明：“Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost... costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship.”，说明水动力飞船最大的优势是成本更低。 【35题详解】 全文围绕太空飞行、水动力飞船展开，应在太空飞行板块。 第二节：（每题1分，共5小题，满分5分） D 阅读短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通畅、连贯。 Bamboo is a wonderful plant for many people around the world. ____36____ People make tables, clothes, medicine, and musical instruments with it. Pandas may eat bamboo every day, but people can also eat it. ____37____ Some bamboo grows so quickly that people say they can watch it grow. The speed of growth depends on the type of bamboo, the earth and the season. Normal bamboo grows 3-10 cm a day. It usually grows in tropical (热带的) areas. ____38____ Bamboo plants are found in Asia, Australia, parts of Africa, and South America. One of the world’s oldest building materials (材料) is bamboo. Like today, people use it because it’s very strong. They use it to build houses, boats, and bridges. The Chinese made a bamboo bridge over the Min River in Sichuan, China almost 1,000 years ago.____39____ Also, bamboo is still used to make houses today, especially in China and the Philippines. As a part of history, bamboo is very important. The great scientist Thomas Edison wasn’t the very first to come up with the concept (概念) of the light bulb (灯泡), but he made it perfect. He wanted the material inside to burn for a long period of time. He tried over 1,000 different types of materials. ____40____ One day, he tried to use a piece of bamboo and the light bulb lit up for over a thousand hours. This invention helped other scientists to make the modern light bulb we use today. A. You can still visit it today. B. There are over 1,000 uses for it. C. However, none worked very well. D. The fastest growing plant in the world is bamboo. E. It can also be found in other parts of the world. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. E 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了竹子的多种用途、生长速度、分布地区、作为建筑材料的悠久历史，以及它在爱迪生发明灯泡过程中的重要作用。 【36题详解】 后一句“People make tables, clothes, medicine, and musical instruments with it.”在列举竹子的各种用途，因此前一句需要总述竹子有很多用途。故应用“There are over 1,000 uses for it.”衔接下文。 【37题详解】 后一句“Some bamboo grows so quickly that people say they can watch it grow.”在说竹子长得快，该句位于段落开头，应是引出话题。故用“The fastest growing plant in the world is bamboo.”引出话题。 【38题详解】 前一句“It usually grows in tropical (热带的) areas.”说竹子通常生长在热带地区以及后一句“Bamboo plants are found in Asia, Australia, parts of Africa, and South America.”列举世界各地的分布，中间需要一句过渡，说明竹子也分布在其他地方。E项“It can also be found in other parts of the world.”起到过渡的作用。 【39题详解】 前一句“The Chinese made a bamboo bridge over the Min River in Sichuan, China almost 1,000 years ago.”提到一座古老的竹桥以及后一句“Also, bamboo is still used to make houses today, especially in China and the Philippines.”说竹子至今仍在使用，所以中间应补充说明这座桥至今还存在。故用“You can still visit it today.”进行补充说明。 【40题详解】 前一句“He tried over 1,000 different types of materials.”和后一句“One day, he tried to use a piece of bamboo and the light bulb lit up for over a thousand hours.”说明了试了很多材料都不行，直到用了竹子才成功，前后是转折关系。中间需要一句说明之前的尝试都失败了。C项“However, none worked very well.”起到转折的作用。 第三节：阅读E篇短文，回答问题。（每题2分，共5小题，满分10分） E My name is Jeff. I like learning foreign languages. When I retired (退休) in 2018, I could speak three foreign languages. At that time, my biggest wish was to learn a new one. Later, I watched a program about Chinese culture on TV. I was so interested in it that I made the decision to learn Chinese. I found a cultural center in the north of London by chance. It offered Chinese language courses fit for me. In March 2019, I began to learn. To attend the classes, I left my home at 5 a.m. every Saturday and drove 3 hours to the cultural center. But this didn’t stop me. After class, I practiced a lot. Through learning, I developed a love for Chinese poems and joined in activities like Chinese poetry readings. I increasingly dreamed of visiting China. My Chinese teacher Mr. Liu always mentioned “It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. He suggested that I should take part in a study tour in China. So in August 2024, I visited Xi’ an with my classmates of the cultural center. During the trip, as the student best at Chinese among us, I tried to act as an interpreter (口译员). I helped my classmates in many ways like asking the way and shopping in Chinese. This experience encouraged me to study further. The British often say “Learning is a lifelong pursuit (追求)”, which means“It is never too late to learn”. I will keep on learning Chinese, hoping to be a lifelong learner. I believe that learning Chinese will bring even more possibilities to my life. 41. When did Jeff begin to learn Chinese? ________________________________________________ 42. Who suggested a study tour in China? ________________________________________________ 43. What do you think of Jeff? ________________________________________________ 44. What new things will you try after reading Jeff’s story? ________________________________________________ 45. 将短文中画线部分翻译成中文 ________________________________________________ 【答案】41. In March 2019. 42. Jeff’s Chinese teacher Mr. Liu. 43. He is a person who is persistent and is brave to try new things, and loves learning. 44.

Today’s spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at traveling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels (燃料), and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water- powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon. The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (发动机). Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels (太阳能板) that heat water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars. Today’s spaceships could not carry that much water. But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to… One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material. Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. “Balloon” spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath! Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water. 31. Which sentence best describes the main idea of the passage above? A. The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine. B. In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship. C. One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. D. Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. 32. What do you think is omitted (省略) at the end of the underlined sentence? A. use steam B. push spaceships C. heat water D. carry that much water 33. Besides growing food, what else might astronauts do with the rest of the water? A. Take a hot bath. B. Freeze dangerous things. C. Blow up a balloon. D. Change the surface of Mars. 34. What’s the biggest advantage of a water-powered spaceship? A. It’s stronger. B. It’s safer. C. It’s cheaper. D. It’s bigger. 35. On which website can we probably read this passage? A. www.freedictionary.com/power B. www.mooc.cn/music C. www.chinadaily.com.cn/culture D. www.space.com/spaceflight 第二节：（每题1分，共5小题，满分5分） D 阅读短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通畅、连贯。 Bamboo is a wonderful plant for many people around the world. ____36____ People make tables, clothes, medicine, and musical instruments with it. Pandas may eat bamboo every day, but people can also eat it. ____37____ Some bamboo grows so quickly that people say they can watch it grow. The speed of growth depends on the type of bamboo, the earth and the season. Normal bamboo grows 3-10 cm a day.

Like today, people use it because it’s very strong. They use it to build houses, boats, and bridges. The Chinese made a bamboo bridge over the Min River in Sichuan, China almost 1,000 years ago.____39____ Also, bamboo is still used to make houses today, especially in China and the Philippines. As a part of history, bamboo is very important. The great scientist Thomas Edison wasn’t the very first to come up with the concept (概念) of the light bulb (灯泡), but he made it perfect. He wanted the material inside to burn for a long period of time.

When I retired (退休) in 2018, I could speak three foreign languages. At that time, my biggest wish was to learn a new one. Later, I watched a program about Chinese culture on TV. I was so interested in it that I made the decision to learn Chinese. I found a cultural center in the north of London by chance. It offered Chinese language courses fit for me. In March 2019, I began to learn. To attend the classes, I left my home at 5 a.m. every Saturday and drove 3 hours to the cultural center. But this didn’t stop me. After class, I practiced a lot. Through learning, I developed a love for Chinese poems and joined in activities like Chinese poetry readings. I increasingly dreamed of visiting China. My Chinese teacher Mr. Liu always mentioned “It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. He suggested that I should take part in a study tour in China. So in August 2024, I visited Xi’ an with my classmates of the cultural center. During the trip, as the student best at Chinese among us, I tried to act as an interpreter (口译员). I helped my classmates in many ways like asking the way and shopping in Chinese. This experience encouraged me to study further. The British often say “Learning is a lifelong pursuit (追求)”, which means“It is never too late to learn”. I will keep on learning Chinese, hoping to be a lifelong learner. I believe that learning Chinese will bring even more possibilities to my life. 41. When did Jeff begin to learn Chinese? ________________________________________________ 42.
