C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了石油在现代生活中的重要作用，以及人们寻找、勘探和开采石油的过程与方法。 【9题详解】 句意：石油用于旅行，因为它为我们的汽车、公交车、火车、飞机和轮船提供动力。 空后列举了各类交通工具，这些都和出行、旅行相关，travel“旅行”符合语境。success“成功”、development“发展”、communication“交流”均与交通工具的核心用途不符。 【10题详解】 句意：石油帮助各类机器轻松运转。 石油作为能源和润滑剂，能让机器正常运行，run“运转、运行”符合文意。break“损坏”、check“检查”、boil“煮沸”均不符合机器与石油的功能逻辑。 【11题详解】 句意：石油也为我们提供制造物品的新材料。 此处指代“人们”，在句中作间接宾语，us“我们”符合语境。it“它”、me“我”、them“他们/她们/它们”均不符合指代范围。 【12题详解】 句意：然而直到一百年前，还没有人将石油用于这些用途。 前文列举了石油在交通、机器、新材料等方面的作用，这些都是石油的用途，purposes“用途”符合文意。inventions“发明”、discoveries“发现”、projects“项目”均与语境不符。 【13题详解】 句意：他们首先绘制正在寻找石油的土地地图。 前文提到“People do not make oil; they find it.”，说明人们在寻找石油，searching“寻找”符合语境。spreading“传播”、hiding“隐藏”、imagining“想象”均不符合找石油的行为逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：然后他们用地图帮助自己更仔细地选择勘探地点。 with care是固定搭配，意为“仔细地、小心地”，with符合语法和语义。of、from、for均无法构成该固定搭配。 【15题详解】 句意：他们检查地表下的岩石，从而了解岩石下方是否有石油。 要判断是否有石油，需要对岩石进行检测、查看，examine“检查、检验”符合文意。weigh“称重”、clean“清洁”、protect“保护”均与勘探石油的目的无关。 【16题详解】 句意：为了弄清石油埋藏多深，他们需要知道地表下的岩石有多深。 询问深度时，用how far来表示“有多远/多深”，far符合语境。high“高”、long“长”、wide“宽”均与“深度”的语义不符。 【17题详解】 句意：如果一切看起来有希望，人们就会钻透岩石。 此处引导条件状语从句，表示“在……的情况下”，If“如果”符合逻辑。Unless“除非”、Because“因为”、Although“虽然”均不符合条件逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：通过这种方式，他们弄清石油是否真的藏在下面。 钻井的目的是验证石油是否真实存在，really“真正地、确实地”符合文意。nearly“几乎”、wisely“明智地”、probably“可能地”均无法准确表达验证的含义。 【19题详解】 句意：这个所谓的试井通常远离任何城镇，在开始钻井前有很多准备工作要做。 后文提到要修建房屋、道路和井架，这些都是钻井前的准备工作，preparation“准备工作”符合语境。standard“标准”、advice“建议”、introduction“介绍”均与后文的具体行动不符。 【20题详解】 句意：然后必须搭建起承载钻头的大型井架。 井架是需要竖立、搭建起来的结构，put up“搭建、竖立”符合文意。cut up“切碎”、looked up“查阅/向上看”、taken up“占据/开始从事”均不符合井架的安装逻辑。 【21题详解】 句意：钻探石油通常意味着要打一口非常深的井。 石油埋藏在地下深处，所以油井会很深，deep“深的”符合语境。beautiful“美丽的”、useless“无用的”、unimportant“不重要的”均与油井的特征无关。 【22题详解】 句意：钻探的速度取决于所钻岩石的种类：最快可达每小时60米。 后文直接给出了“每小时60米”的速率描述，speed“速度”符合文意。influence“影响”、method“方法”、process“过程”均无法对应后文的速率信息。 【23题详解】 句意：钻探通常在干燥的陆地上进行。 后文提到“我们也可以在湖泊或海洋下的岩石中钻探”，与之形成对比的是干燥的陆地，dry“干燥的”符合语境。lonely“孤独的”、rich“富饶的”、wet“潮湿的”均无法与后文的水域钻探形成合理对比。 B) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。(每小题1分) interested, about, whatever, product, convenient, take, luck, when, includes, write, popularity It’s believed that necessity is the mother of invention.

It read, “Hackathon! Come to Room 304 today after school to learn more.” Mia asked her friends at lunch, “Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?” Most of her friends shrugged (耸肩). But Charlie replied, “It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.” “Sounds interesting. Will there be a winner for our hackathon?” asked Mia. “Let’s go to Room 304 to find out,” Charlie said. Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius (天才), but she had never taken a computer science class before. Worried, she still went to Room 304 at the end of the day. When she entered the room, Mia found several kids from Charlie’s computer science class. Feeling uneasy, she sat next to Charlie. Mr. Ingram, the computer science teacher, began to speak. “Well, we’ re going to have our first hackathon at Waltham Middle School,” he said. “Today you’ll form teams. Then, next Saturday, I’ll give you a problem. The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.” Everyone started forming teams. Then Charlie turned to Mia and said, “I want you on my team.” “Why me?” asked Mia in surprise. “I know little about computer science.” “But you know how to organize people,” said Charlie. “You’re also good at public speaking, and you’ll think of ways of solving the problem that I would never think of.” Mia considered Charlie’s words. It was true—she liked giving speeches in class. With younger brothers and sisters, Mia was good at giving people tasks and making sure things got done. “It’s a deal,” she said. They shook hands and a team was born. 38. What is a hackathon? A. An art show. B. A school party. C. A computer challenge. D. A sports competition. 39. What do we know about Charlie? A. He was Mia’s best friend. B. He had a talent for working on computers. C. He took a computer science class every day. D. He knew everything about the hackathon in his school. 40. Put the following information into the correct order according to the passage. a．Charlie and Mia went to Room 304． b．Mia asked her friends about the sign. c．Charlie told Mia what a hackathon was. d．Mia agreed to form a team with Charlie. e．Mr. Ingram said the winner would get a prize. A. b-c-a-e-d B. b-c-a-d-e C. c-b-a-d-e D. c-b-e-a-d 41. What was Mia like according to Charlie? A. Proud, active and hard-working. B. Proud, funny and quick-minded. C. Organized, active and quick-minded. D. Organized, funny and hard-working. 42. Which is the most probable ending of the story? A. Charlie and Mia hardly worked together. B. Mia gave up taking part in the hackathon. C. Charlie learned a lot about computer science from Mia. D. Mia was responsible for the speaking work of the team. 【答案】38. C 39. B 40. A 41. C 42. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Mia对计算机挑战赛感到好奇，在朋友Charlie的解释和鼓励下，克服对自己能力的怀疑，最终与他组队参赛的故事。 【38题详解】 第二段Charlie明确解释“It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.”，因此hackathon是一种“计算机挑战赛”。 【39题详解】 第五段提到“Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius”，说明Charlie在计算机方面很有天赋。 【40题详解】 故事发展顺序为：第一段，Mia在食堂门上看到告示后询问朋友“Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?”（对应b：Mia询问朋友关于告示的事）；第二段，Charlie告诉她“It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.”（对应c：Charlie告诉Mia什么是hackathon）；第四段，两人一起去Room 304了解更多信息（对应a：Charlie和Mia去了304房间）；第六段，Mr. Ingram宣布“The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.”（对应e：Mr. Ingram说获胜者会有奖品）；最后两段，经过交流后，Mia对Charlie说“It’s a deal.”，两人握手组队（对应d：Mia同意和Charlie组队），即正确顺序为b-c-a-e-d。 【41题详解】 Charlie评价Mia时说“you know how to organize people”“good at public speaking”“think of ways…that I would never think of”，对应organized“有组织力的”、active“活跃的”和quick-minded“思维敏捷的”。 【42题详解】 根据第九段Charlie对Mia说的话“You’re also good at public speaking”，以及最后一段两人握手组队的情节，可以推断在接下来的比赛中，Mia很可能会负责团队中与演讲相关的工作。 C The idea of turning Mars into a livable world for humans is common in science fiction But could such an action be done in real life? Scientists are now studying a new method to warm up Earth’s neighbor. The idea includes putting tiny particles (颗粒) made of iron or aluminum (铝) into the atmosphere (大气层) of Mars. The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight toward the Martian surface. The idea would raise the surface temperature on Mars by around 28℃ over ten years. Such a change alone would not make Mars livable for people. But the scientists who developed the idea see it as a possible first step. There are several difficulties for humans to live on Mars, such as less breathable oxygen, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet. And Mars’ low temperatures are a serious problem. The surface temperature is about-65℃. Samaneh Ansari of Northwestern University in Illinois is the study’s lead writer. Samaneh said, “The idea is to send iron and aluminum to Mars. Even better, just send the tool and make the particles on Mars since the surface of Mars is rich in iron and aluminum.” Edwin Kite of the University of Chicago helped lead the study. He suggested that the costs and benefits of the new method are uncertain. For example, he said if Mars’ soil is harmful to life from Earth, then the benefit of warming Mars is zero. 43. What does the underlined word “trap” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. create B. spread C. recycle D. prevent 44. How does the writer show the difficulties of living on Mars? A. By telling stories. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 45. According to Samaneh, which is a better choice? A. Collecting salty soil from Mars. B. Sending the tool for making the particles to Mars. C. Sending iron and aluminum to Mars. D. Saving iron and aluminum on Earth. 46. What was Edwin’s attitude towards the new method? A. Doubtful. B. Fearful. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. 47. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. B 46. A 47. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项关于让火星变得适合人类居住的新研究。科学家提出向火星大气层投放铁或铝制成的微小颗粒，以捕获逃逸的热量并引导阳光照射火星表面，从而提升火星表面温度。文章还讨论了人类在火星生存的困难、研究者的不同观点以及该方法的潜在风险。 【43题详解】 第二段指出“The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight toward the Martian surface”，结合上下文，此处“trap”意为“捕获、阻止”，与“prevent”意思相近。 【44题详解】 第三段通过列举“less breathable oxygen, salty soil, and dust storms”以及“surface temperature is about -65℃”等具体困难，说明人类在火星生存的挑战，属于通过举例说明。 【45题详解】 第四段中Samaneh说“just send the tool and make the particles on Mars since the surface of Mars is rich in iron and aluminum”，说明更好的选择是发送制造颗粒的工具到火星。 【46题详解】 最后一段Edwin指出“the costs and benefits of the new method are uncertain”并举例说明如果火星土壤对地球生命有害，则该方法的益处为零，表明他对该方法持怀疑态度。 【47题详解】 文章结构题：全文结构清晰：①引出问题：能否让火星宜居？②③④展开论述：提出方法→说明火星困难→支持者观点⑤转折质疑：反对者观点；故结构为①/②③/④/⑤。 D What is your earliest memory? Perhaps pictures of a birthday party come to mind, or maybe a long-ago family vacation. Now think about how old you were when it happened. You may find that your earliest memory comes no further back than your third birthday. For most people, anything that happened before they were 3.5 years old is a blank slate (白板). As scientists continue to learn more and more about the brain, the questions of how far back we truly can remember and how those memories influence us as adults are coming to be seen. Every experience—whether happy or sad—is put into memory and seems to have a lasting influence. Our feelings when we were babies influence us for the long term. Besides the childhood stories we can remember, there are many different kinds of “memories”. We all know the terms “short-term memory” and “long-term memory”. But have you heard the terms “explicit memory” and “implicit memory”? Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious (有意识的) and gives us the ability to tell a story that makes sense of what happened. This type of memory only develops fully in most people around the age of three. Implicit memory starts in our brain from birth, or possibly even earlier. However, it is not conscious. While we may not remember the events of those earliest memories, they have left a lasting impression on our thinking, feelings, and behavior. Because of the ability our brain has to store and hold information from a very early age, scientists today are paying more and more attention to creating good early childhood memories. We might not remember learning to walk, but our legs and feet seem to do this perfectly now. Just like this, some of our most important lessons were learned at a time that our bodies, not our minds, can remember. 48. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. A painting. B. A family. C. The third birthday. D. The earliest memory. 49. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. It’s useless to learn a baby’s memory. B. Happy experiences are easy to remember. C. Anything in memory may influence our adult life. D. People have no interest in their feelings as babies. 50. What’s the difference between explicit memory and implicit memory? A. Whether people like them. B. Whether people know them. C. Whether people record them. D. Whether people are influenced by them. 51. Why did the writer talk about learning to walk? A. To explain the reasons for forgetting things. B. To tell us the necessity of playing with babies. C. To warn people to care more about their babies. D. To show us our bodies have childhood memories. 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. The latest news on memories B. Advice on improving memories C. The importance of a good memory D. Childhood memories and their influence 【答案】48. D 49. C 50. B 51. D 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人类最早记忆的时间范围、外显记忆与内隐记忆的区别，并阐述了童年记忆对我们成年后思想、情感和行为的长期影响。 【48题详解】 第一段指出：“What is your earliest memory? ... Now think about how old you were when it happened.”，这里的“it”指代The earliest memory。 【49题详解】 第二段说明：“Every experience—whether happy or sad—is put into memory and seems to have a lasting influence. Our feelings when we were babies influence us for the long term.”，可推断出记忆中的任何事都可能影响我们的成年生活。 【50题详解】 第四段定义：“Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious... Implicit memory... it is not conscious.”，二者的区别在于人们是否有意识地知晓这些记忆。 【51题详解】 第五段举例：“We might not remember learning to walk, but our legs and feet seem to do this perfectly now... some of our most important lessons were learned at a time that our bodies, not our minds, can remember.”，作者用学走路的例子是为了表明我们的身体也留存着童年记忆。 【52题详解】 全文围绕童年记忆及其影响展开，介绍了最早记忆的时间、记忆的分类及长期影响，因此最佳标题是Childhood memories and their influence。 B)请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Usually great people encourage themselves and everyone around them toward better things.

Come to Room 304 today after school to learn more.” Mia asked her friends at lunch, “Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?” Most of her friends shrugged (耸肩). But Charlie replied, “It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.” “Sounds interesting. Will there be a winner for our hackathon?” asked Mia. “Let’s go to Room 304 to find out,” Charlie said. Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius (天才), but she had never taken a computer science class before. Worried, she still went to Room 304 at the end of the day. When she entered the room, Mia found several kids from Charlie’s computer science class. Feeling uneasy, she sat next to Charlie. Mr. Ingram, the computer science teacher, began to speak. “Well, we’ re going to have our first hackathon at Waltham Middle School,” he said. “Today you’ll form teams. Then, next Saturday, I’ll give you a problem. The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.” Everyone started forming teams. Then Charlie turned to Mia and said, “I want you on my team.” “Why me?” asked Mia in surprise. “I know little about computer science.” “But you know how to organize people,” said Charlie. “You’re also good at public speaking, and you’ll think of ways of solving the problem that I would never think of.” Mia considered Charlie’s words. It was true—she liked giving speeches in class. With younger brothers and sisters, Mia was good at giving people tasks and making sure things got done. “It’s a deal,” she said. They shook hands and a team was born. 38. What is a hackathon? A. An art show. B. A school party. C. A computer challenge. D. A sports competition. 39. What do we know about Charlie? A.

C The idea of turning Mars into a livable world for humans is common in science fiction. But could such an action be done in real life? Scientists are now studying a new method to warm up Earth’s neighbor. The idea includes putting tiny particles (颗粒) made of iron or aluminum (铝) into the atmosphere (大气层) of Mars. The goal is to trap escaping heat and direct sunlight toward the Martian surface. The idea would raise the surface temperature on Mars by around 28℃ over ten years. Such a change alone would not make Mars livable for people. But the scientists who developed the idea see it as a possible first step. There are several difficulties for humans to live on Mars, such as less breathable oxygen, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet. And Mars’ low temperatures are a serious problem. The surface temperature is about-65℃. Samaneh Ansari of Northwestern University in Illinois is the study’s lead writer. Samaneh said, “The idea is to send iron and aluminum to Mars. Even better, just send the tool and make the particles on Mars since the surface of Mars is rich in iron and aluminum.” Edwin Kite of the University of Chicago helped lead the study. He suggested that the costs and benefits of the new method are uncertain. For example, he said if Mars’ soil is harmful to life from Earth, then the benefit of warming Mars is zero. 43. What does the underlined word “trap” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. create B. spread C. recycle D. prevent 44. How does the writer show the difficulties of living on Mars? A By telling stories. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 45. According to Samaneh, which is a better choice? A. Collecting salty soil from Mars. B. Sending the tool for making the particles to Mars. C. Sending iron and aluminum to Mars. D. Saving iron and aluminum on Earth. 46. What was Edwin’s attitude towards the new method? A. Doubtful. B. Fearful. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. 47. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D What is your earliest memory? Perhaps pictures of a birthday party come to mind, or maybe a long-ago family vacation. Now think about how old you were when it happened. You may find that your earliest memory comes no further back than your third birthday. For most people, anything that happened before they were 3.5 years old is a blank slate (白板). As scientists continue to learn more and more about the brain, the questions of how far back we truly can remember and how those memories influence us as adults are coming to be seen. Every experience—whether happy or sad—is put into memory and seems to have a lasting influence. Our feelings when we were babies influence us for the long term.

But have you heard the terms “explicit memory” and “implicit memory”? Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious (有意识的) and gives us the ability to tell a story that makes sense of what happened. This type of memory only develops fully in most people around the age of three. Implicit memory starts in our brain from birth, or possibly even earlier. However, it is not conscious.

We might not remember learning to walk, but our legs and feet seem to do this perfectly now.

Anything in memory may influence our adult life. D. People have no interest in their feelings as babies. 50 What’s the difference between explicit memory and implicit memory? A. Whether people like them. B. Whether people know them. C. Whether people record them. D. Whether people are influenced by them. 51. Why did the writer talk about learning to walk? A.
