Is Thailand __________ Asian or __________ European country? A. the; a B. an; a C. an; an D. an; the 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：泰国是亚洲国家还是欧洲国家？ 考查冠词辨析。第一空和第二空都表示泛指，且Asian是以元音音素开头的，故第一空填an；European是以辅音音素开头的，故第二空填a，故选B。 2. Amy may not spare a whole day for the outing. Her time is fully _________ with exams. A. made up B. taken up C. set up D. looked up 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：艾米可能抽不出一整天的时间去郊游。她的时间全用在考试上了。 考查动词短语。made up编造；taken up占据；set up建立；looked up查找。根据“Amy may not spare a whole day for the outing.”可知时间被考试占据了，抽不出一整天去郊游。故选B。 3. __________ with the price of houses, the price of cars has become a little lower recently. A. To compare B. Comparing C. Compared D. To be compared 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：与房价相比，最近汽车的价格有所下降。 考查非谓语动词。根据“... with the price of houses”可知主语“the price of cars”被拿来与房价作对比，用动词的过去分词形式Compared，在句中作状语。故选C。 4. Because of the hero’s rushing out of the building on fire with a baby, all the people are ___________ of him. So he is ___________ of us. A. the pride; proud B. proud; pride C. the proud; pride D. proud; the pride 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：因为英雄带着一个婴儿冲出着火的大楼，所有的人都为他感到骄傲。所以他是我们的骄傲。 考查词义辨析。proud骄傲的，形容词；pride骄傲，名词。根据“Because of the hero’s rushing out of the building on fire with a baby”可知，所有人都为这个英雄感到骄傲，故第一空应填形容词proud。第二空表示“他是我们的骄傲”，用the pride of表示“是……的骄傲”，故选D。 5. Neil Armstrong ___________ with the Medal of Freedom because he became the first man on the moon. A. present B. is presented C. presented D. was presented 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：尼尔·阿姆斯特朗被授予自由勋章，因为他是第一个登上月球的人。 考查时态及语态。主语“Neil Armstrong”与动词present之间是动宾关系，结合“because he became the first man on the moon”可知要用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为was/were done。故选D。 6. —Are you going to New York for vacation? —Yes, I want you to ________ me with some information about it. A. influence B. make C. afford D. provide 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你要去纽约度假吗？ ——是的，我想让你提供一些关于它的信息。 考查动词辨析。influence影响；make制造；afford买得起；provide提供。根据问句Are you going to New York for vacation?和答语Yes推测对方是想要一些关于纽约的信息。provide sb. with sth. 向某人提供某物，后跟双宾语。故选D。 7. —You mean Jacky will study abroad next month. Is that true? —well, I won’t say this ________ I am sure of the fact. A. unless B. if C. since D. whether 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你是说杰基下个月要出国留学。是真的吗？ ——是的，除非我确信是事实，否则我不会这么说的。 本题考查连词。unless除非，如果不；if如果；since自从；whether是否。本题是unless引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在。unless…= ···, if…not；因此选项B不对。选项C/D不符合语境。故选A。 8. —Did you have a good sleep last night? —No. My neighbor the guitar the whole night. A. plays B. is playing C. was playing D. would play 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——昨天晚上你睡觉好吗？——不好，我的邻居一整晚都在弹吉他。 考查动词时态。plays一般现在时；is playing现在进行时；was playing过去进行时；would play过去进行时。根据 the whole night表示过去一整晚都在做某事，可知用过去进行时。故选C。 9. —How are you today? —I'm even________. I don’t think this medicine is good for me. A. badly B. worse C. better D. well 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你今天好吗？ ——我更糟了。我觉得这药对我没用。 考查形容词的比较级。badly糟糕的；worse更糟糕；better更好；well好的。根据“I don’t think this medicine is good for me.”我认为这种药对我没用，可知，我感觉不好，排除C/D；even修饰比较级。故选B。 10. —The fish________delicious. Mum, can I have some? —Yes, of course. But you should wash your hands first. A. smells B. tastes C. sounds D. feels 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这鱼闻起来很香。妈妈，我能吃点吗？ ——当然可以。但你应该先洗手。 考查系动词。smells闻起来；tastes尝起来；sounds听起来；feels摸起来。根据“Mum, can I have some?”妈妈，我能吃点吗？可知，还没有开始吃鱼，因此不是尝起来，排除选项B；应该是鱼闻起来很香。选项C/D不符合语境。故选A。 11. You’ve no idea ___________to build a new airport. Let me tell you, young man. That’s billions of dollars! A. how much it will cost. B. how long it will take us C. how much will it cost D. how long will it take us 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你不知道建一个新机场要花多少钱。让我告诉你，年轻人。那是数十亿美元！ 本题考查同位语从句。同位语从句要用陈述句的语序，因此排除C/D；根据That’s billions of dollars! 那是数十亿美元！可知，上文应该问的是建一个新机场要花多少钱。而不是多长时间。故选A。 【点睛】同位语从句用法： 一、语序：陈述句语序。 二、同位语从句的引导词： 引导同位语从句的词语通常有连词that，whether，连接代词和连接副词等。 1. 由that引导： We heard the news that our team had won. 我们听到消息说我们队赢了。 注意：引导同位语从句的连词that通常不省略，但在非正式文体中也可以省去。 2. 由whether引导： There is some doubt whether he will come. 他是否会来还不一定。 注意：whether 可引导同位语从句，但if不能引导同位语从句。 3. 由连接代词引导： Have you any idea what time it starts? 你知道什么时候开始吗? 4. 由连接副词引导： I have no idea when he will come back. 我不知道他什么时候回来。 5. 被修饰的词语： 同位语从句所修饰的名词比较有限，通常有hope, wish, idea, news, fact, promise, opinion, suggestion, truth等。 例如：I have no idea when they will come. 我不知道他们什么时候来。 12. –Why can’t you trust me? Not everything you heard is true? - Maybe not. But __________________. A. out of sight, out of mind B. there is no smoke without fire C. a miss is as good as a mile D. actions speak louder than words 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：— —你为什么不相信我？难道你听到的都是真的吗？ — —也许不是。但是无风不起浪啊。 A. out of sight, out of mind眼不见，心不烦；B. there is no smoke without fire无风不起浪；C. a miss is as good as a mile. 失之毫厘，谬以千里；D. actions speak louder than words行动胜于雄辩。根据问句Why can’t you trust me? Not everything you heard is true? 你为什么不相信我？难道你听到的都是真的吗？和答语Maybe not. 也许不是。以及But表示转折可知，应该选择there is no smoke without fire无风不起浪；符合语境。故选B。 13. —I’m going to add some tomato sauce to the salad, if you don’t ________. —Not at all. Go ahead. A. care B. agree C. mind D. insist 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——如果你不介意的话，我想在沙拉里加点番茄酱。——一点也不。去加吧。 考查动词辨析。care关心；agree同意；mind介意；insist坚持。根据“Not at all. Go ahead.”可知，前者询问对方是否介意，应用mind。故选C。 14. –The actor says he’ll celebrate his 28th birthday next week. His fans… - ____________. That can’t be right. I’m pretty sure he was born in 1985. A. No kidding B. Sure he will C. Never mind D. Wait a minute 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：— —这位演员说他下星期要庆祝28岁生日。他的粉丝…。— —别开玩笑。那不可能是对的。我很确定他出生于1985年。 A. No kidding别开玩笑；B. Sure he will他肯定会；C. Never mind不要紧；D. Wait a minute等一下。根据I’m pretty sure he was born in 1985. 我很确定他出生于1985年。可知，这位演员已经34岁了。因此上文说他下星期要庆祝28岁生日。是不对，因此应该选择No kidding别开玩笑；符合语境。故选A。 15. —Dear friends, do you still remember ____ three years ago? —To realize our dream! A. why you came here B. why did you come here C. how you came here D. how did you came here 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——亲爱的朋友们，你还记得三年前为什么来这里吗？ ——实现我们的梦想！本题考查宾语从句，注意宾语从句的语序用陈述句的语序，排除B/D；再根据To realize our dream! 实现我们的梦想！可知，上文应该问为什么来这里，因此用why来引导。选项C问的是怎样来的，不符合语境。故选A。 二、完形填空（每题1分,共15题,共15分） Bill Sumiel was having a difficult day in October 2020.

The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 35. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A. 测定 B. 选择 C. 了解 D. 考察 36. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 37. When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A. In 1752. B. In 1898. C. In 1903. D. In 1933. 【答案】34. B 35. A 36. C 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了风筝的起源和不同文化中的用途：最早在中国被用于军事测量；在日本用于庆祝丰收、祈福和新年庆典；在西方则被用于科学实验，如研究闪电、测试飞行和收集气象数据。 【34题详解】 根据第一段：“Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel into the king’s palace.”，因此挖隧道是为了对抗国王。 【35题详解】 第一段：“He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length of its string. In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. ”，韩信通过风筝线长度来确定隧道长度，因此“determine”意为“测定”。 【36题详解】 第二段提到：“In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. ...Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year.”，因此放风筝的目的之一是庆祝新年开始。 【37题详解】 最后一段：“From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau used box kites...”，因此开始于1898年。 C How would you like to build a time machine? Paper, sticks, glue and string (绳子) are all you need. Put them together to make a kite. A kite connects you to the past. No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps an Indonesian (印度尼西亚人). Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks (鱼钩) on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to the Earth. In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers (士兵) put noisemakers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away. About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods (洪水), Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world. Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1794, thermometers (温度计) were tied to kites to measure (测量) temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco. California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright Brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane. Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore (探索). So go fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite flyers have felt for centuries. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 38. The underlined word “passion” in the passage means “________” in Chinese. A. 冷淡 B. 酷爱 C. 工具 D. 档案 39. Kites were used to make good wishes in ________. A. Japan and Thailand B. Thailand and Indonesia C. China and Thailand D. USA 40. According to the passage, ________ is the correct order. a.Kites reached Thailand. b.Kites with cameras helped Americans take pictures after an earthquake. c.Kites were taken to Japan by Chinese travelers. d.People measured temperatures by tying thermometers to kites.

In the early 20th century, people hung the cameras on kites to take pictures of California before an earthquake. C. Kites helped inventors to make the world’s first airplane. D. To discuss the differences among kites around the world. 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了风筝从古代中国起源，传播到世界各地，并在文化、科学和航空领域发挥重要作用的历史。 【38题详解】 下一句“Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world.”可知，世界各地的风筝迷都会在节日聚会，可见风筝在全世界是一种爱好；因此“passion”意为“酷爱”。 【39题详解】 第二段提到“Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to the Earth.”以及第四段提到“During floods (洪水), Thai farmers flew kites over their fields.”，这说明在中国和泰国，风筝被用来许下美好的愿望。 【40题详解】 根据第四段中“About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago.”和第五段中“In 1794, thermometers (温度计) were tied to kites to measure (测量) temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco.”可知，约1300年前，中国人将风筝带到日本；约700年前，风筝到达泰国；1794年，用风筝绑温度计测温度；1906年，用风筝挂相机拍摄地震后照片。因此，正确的顺序是c-a-d-b。 【41题详解】 第六段明确提到“The Wright Brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.”，这说明莱特兄弟研究风筝是如何飞行的，这帮助他们制造了第一架成功的飞机。 D Good news!

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，是一则电影节电影排片与优惠信息海报，帮助观众选择观影时间和计算票价。 【42题详解】 表格中Frozen下信息“June 20th June 22nd June 24th ”和“9:00 a.m. 4:30 p.m 8:20 p.m.”提示，《冰雪奇缘》的放映时间是6月24日上午9点，下午4点半和晚上8点20。由此可知，如果你6月24日下午想看电影，可以去看《冰雪奇缘》。 【43题详解】 由海报中信息“Price”，“Date”和“Time”以及Tips中“For more details, please call us on 55560679.”可知，在海报中我们可以看到电影的价格，时间和电影院的电话号码，并不能看到电影院的地点。 【44题详解】 由Captain America的Price信息“¥80 (50% off for students)”以及Tips中“Free for children under 6 years old”可知，6岁以下儿童免费，成人80元，学生半价。因此，你和爸爸以及5岁的弟弟去看《美国队长》，需支付：80+40+0=120元。 【45题详解】 Tips中明确提到“50% off on Tuesday for all”，这说明周二所有人半价。文章明确提到“This festival lasts seven days, from Friday, June 20th to Thursday, June 26th.”电影节是从6月20日周五到6月26日周四，所以星期二是6月24日。 第II卷（非选择题）（满分60分） 四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分,满分15分) A.请根据括号中的中文提示、音标提示或英文释义,写出句中所缺单词,使句子通顺。 46.

Scientists have made many important __________ (发现) in the past 30 years. 【答案】discoveries 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去的30年里，科学家们有了许多重要的发现。discovery发现，在句中作宾语用名词，many修饰可数名词复数，故填discoveries。 49.

We don’t know what film is on nearby at Around Me. D. We can see only one thing on one screen at Timeblocks. B No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 35. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A. 测定 B. 选择 C. 了解 D. 考察 36. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 37. When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A. In 1752. B. In 1898. C. In 1903. D. In 1933. C How would you like to build a time machine? Paper, sticks, glue and string (绳子) are all you need. Put them together to make a kite. A kite connects you to the past. No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps an Indonesian (印度尼西亚人). Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks (鱼钩) on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to the Earth. In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers (士兵) put noisemakers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away. About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods (洪水), Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world. Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1794, thermometers (温度计) were tied to kites to measure (测量) temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco. California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright Brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.
