You can read them on a smartphone. 【答案】convenient 【详解】句意：和纸质书不同，电子书更方便，你可以在智能手机上阅读它们。根据汉语提示可知，convenient“方便的”，形容词作表语。故填convenient。 49．Your spoken English will ________ (无疑) improve if you practice it every day. 【答案】certainly 【详解】句意：如果你每天练习，你的英语口语无疑会提高。空格位于情态动词will与实义动词improve之间，需填副词修饰谓语动词。certainly表示“肯定地，无疑地”，符合句意。 故填certainly。 50．It will be very convenient for all ________ (市民) to travel around the city. 【答案】citizens 【详解】句意：对所有市民来说，在城市里出行将会非常便利。citizen“市民”，是可数名词，all后接其复数形式，citizen的复数形式是直接加s，故填citizens。 51．His ____________ (pioneer) spirit made all his friends surprised and proud. 【答案】pioneering 【详解】句意：他的开创精神让他所有的朋友既惊讶又自豪。pioneer意为“先锋；开拓者”，是名词，此处修饰后面的名词spirit，应填形容词作定语，表示“开创性的”，应用形容词形式pioneering。故填pioneering。 52．We should take part in more ________ (education) activities after class. 【答案】educational 【详解】句意：我们应该在课后参加更多教育活动。education“教育”，名词。此处修饰名词“activities”，应用形容词形式educational“教育的”，作定语。故填educational。 53．I ________ (not visit) the Golden Bridge, so I know nothing about it. 【答案】haven’t visited 【详解】句意：我没有参观过金门大桥，所以对它一无所知。根据“I...the Golden Bridge, so I know nothing about it.”及提示词可知，此处强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时；主语是I，助动词用have，其否定形式为haven’t，visit的过去分词为visited。故填haven’t visited。 54．—_________ he _________ (go) to Beijing? —Yes, he left just now. 【答案】 Has gone 【详解】句意：——他去北京了吗？——是的，他刚刚离开了。根据答语“Yes, he left just now.”可知，问句是询问他是否已经去了北京，强调动作对现在造成的影响（即现在不在此地），所以用现在完成时。现在完成时的结构是“have/has+过去分词”，主语“he”是第三人称单数，所以用“has”，“go”的过去分词是“gone”。故填Has；gone。 55．—Are you working on the project? —Yes. I ________ (finish) half of it. I just need twenty more minutes. 【答案】have finished 【详解】句意：—— 你在做这个项目吗？—— 是的。我已经完成了一半。我还需要二十分钟就能完成。根据“I...half of it. I just need twenty more minutes.”及提示词可知，此处强调过去完成的动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时；主语为I，助动词用have，finish的过去分词为finished。故填have finished。 五、完成句子（10分） 56．众所周知，自从改革开放以来中国发生了巨大的变化。 As is known to all, great changes have taken place in China ________________. 【答案】since the reform and opening-up 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“自从改革开放以来”，“自从”用“since”，“改革开放”用短语“the reform and opening-up”。故填since the reform and opening-up。 57．在过去的40年里，阳光镇发生了许多变化。 Many changes ________ ________ ________ in Sunshine Town over the last 40 years. 【答案】 have taken place 【详解】根据中英对照可知，此处缺少“发生”。“take place”是固定短语，意为“发生”；由“over the last 40 years”可知，句子时态为现在完成时，主语“Many changes”是复数。故填have；taken；place。 58．My father has worked in this factory for 20 years.（对划线部分提问） ________ ________ has your father worked in this factory? 【答案】 How long 【详解】句意：我父亲已经在这家工厂工作了20年。句子时态为现在完成时，划线部分“for 20 years”表示时间段，对时间段提问要用特殊疑问词How long。故填How；long。 59．They have lived in this city for 10 years. (对划线部分提问) _______ _______ _______ they _______ in this city? 【答案】 How long have lived 【详解】句意：他们在这个城市已经住了10年了。分析句子结构可知，该句时态为现在完成时，划线部分“for 10 years”为时间段，对其提问应用“how long”引导特殊疑问句，其结构为“how long have/has sb. done sth.”，时态应不变，且句首首字母大写；问句中主语they为第三人称复数形式，助动词应用have，后接live的过去分词形式lived。故填How；long；have；lived。 60．She has lived in Beijing since she was born. (对划线部分提问) ________ __________________ she ________ in Beijing? 【答案】 How long has lived 【详解】句意：她从出生起就住在北京。划线部分是“since she was born”，这里是对时间长度提问，用How long。原句是现在完成时（has lived），变为特殊疑问句时，需要将助动词has提到主语she之前，动词仍用过去分词lived。故填How；long；has；lived。 六、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Hongcun Village, with a history of about 900 years, is an extremely beautiful village in Anhui Province.

The main street was narrow, and there were only a few small shops. People used to go to work by bike or on foot.

Many tall buildings have been built along the main street. There are many big shops, supermarkets and restaurants. The roads are wide and clean, and there are many cars and buses. People can go to work by car, bus or subway. A new big park has been built, and it has a playground, a lake and many trees. Children can play there happily. My family has also changed. We used to live in a small house, but now we live in a big apartment. My father used to work in a small factory, but now he works in a big company.

It took a long time to get a letter. But now, people can use WeChat, QQ or phone calls to keep in touch. It is fast and convenient. We can talk to each other face to face even if we are far away. In the past, people used to go out by bike or on foot. For long trips, they took trains or buses. But now, many people have their own cars. They can go out by car easily. High-speed trains and planes are also more popular. They make long trips faster and more comfortable. In the past, people used to watch TV or listen to the radio in their free time. But now, people can use mobile phones, computers and tablets to watch videos, play games and read books. There are more ways to relax. These changes have made our life better and more convenient.

It is China’s first national forest park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (联合国教科文组织世界遗产地). People call it “the real Avatar mountains” because the movie Avatar got ideas from here. The park is famous for its more than 3,000 quartz sandstone pillars (石英砂岩峰柱). Some of them are over 200 meters tall. They look like huge stone trees growing towards the sky. Often, clouds and mist (云雾) wrap around the pillars, making the view look like a fairyland (仙境). Visitors can take the Bailong Elevator (百龙电梯) to get a bird’s-eye view. It is the world’s tallest outdoor elevator, built right on the side of a cliff (悬崖). The ride takes only 1 minute and 58 seconds, but it gives you an amazing view. Another popular place is the Glass Bridge on Tianmen Mountain. The bridge is made of glass, so you can see straight down to the valley 300 meters below. Walking on it is exciting and scary at the same time! Zhangjiajie is also home to many animals and plants. You might see monkeys, squirrels, and many kinds of birds. The air is fresh and clean. No wonder millions of visitors come here every year. 42．Why do people call Zhangjiajie “the real Avatar mountains”? A．Because the movie Avatar was filmed there.
