A．work B．have worked C．will work D．worked 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——我好久没见到你了。——是的。我在西藏当了半年的志愿者教师。我两天前回来了。 根据“I came back two days ago.”可知，说话者已经从西藏回来了，说明在西藏当志愿者教师是过去发生的事情，且该动作已经结束，不强调对现在的影响，因此应该用一般过去时，动词work的过去式是worked。 5．When the lion saw a zebra from far away, it got near it quietly and then ran towards it ________. A．in a high speed B．in high speed C．at a high speed D．at high speed 【答案】D 【详解】句意：当狮子从远处看到一只斑马时，它悄悄地靠近，然后高速向它跑去。 考查介词短语。in a high speed无此搭配；in high speed无此搭配；at a high speed高速，强调具体的速度；at high speed高速，强调状态。根据“ran towards it”可知，这里需要一个表示“高速地”的短语，at high speed符合语境，描述狮子奔跑的状态。故选D。 6．—Where ________ you ________ the book?

A．used to be B．used to have C．had D．were used to be 【答案】A 【详解】句意：这条街上过去有很多商店，但现在它们都搬走了。 考查used to的用法。used to be过去是；used to have过去有；had有；were used to be错误结构。根据“There...a lot of shops in the street”可知，此处表示“存在很多商店”，应用there be句型表达“有”，且与“过去”对应，因此用“there used to be”表示“过去曾有”。故选A。 11．—Would you mind showing me how to return to the last page? —______.

More and more Chinese people would like to travel from one city to 16 by high-speed train. Many young people even choose to live a “twins life”—living in a quiet city 17 working in a busy and modern city. “I had my first chance to take the high-speed train last week when I had a business meeting in Beijing,” John said. As somebody who disliked public transport all the time in the US, John was 18 about his travelling experience at first. But later he was really amazed at China’s high-speed trains after 19 in Beijing. “Trains in China are clean and the seats are very huge. I can’t even 20 how fast the train is moving,” John told us. If there were no windows, most people wouldn’t be able to tell when we 21 or when we were travelling at 300 km/h. Yes, it is so smooth. Even a coin can keep its balance (平衡) on the train. 22 , you can enjoy nice food and drinks on the train. Compared with (与……对比) other kinds of public transport, high-speed rail means the least noise and 23 . So, besides providing fast and enjoyable services ( 服 务 ) for people, it can also protect the environment. Maybe this is the reason why the Chinese government has 24 building its railway all the time. It is reported that a new type of “flying train”, which can run at 4,000 km/h, is on the way. If the train is completed, with its 25 five times faster than that of a plane, it will change the whole world’s travel mode. Just imagine one picture: you close your eyes as soon as you get on the train. After taking a short rest and waking up, congratulate: welcome to China! 16．A．other B．another C．the other D．the others 17．A．if B．when C．until D．while 18．A．happy B．excited C．worried D．sad 19．A．arriving B．joining C．studying D．living 20．A．look B．see C．feel D．listen 21．A．stopped B．moved C．woke D．flew 22．A．However B．Moreover C．Otherwise D．Instead 23．A．shake B．cost C．waste D．pollution 24．A．kept B．missed C．started D．practiced 25．A．time B．trip C．speed D．journey 【答案】 16．B 17．D 18．C 19．A 20．C 21．A 22．B 23．D 24．A 25．C 【分析】中国的高铁发展迅速，本文以约翰的经历为线索，介绍中国高铁的变化和发展。 16．句意：越来越多的中国人喜欢坐高铁从一个城市到另一个城市。 other其他的；another另一个；the other两者中的另一个；the others其余的。根据“More and more Chinese people would like to travel from one city to…by high-speed train.”可知，此处是“from one to another”结构，表示“从一个到另一个”，故选B。 17．句意：许多年轻人甚至选择过一种“双胞胎生活”——生活在一个安静的城市，而工作在繁忙和现代化的城市。 if若果；when当……时；until直到；while当……时，然而（表转折）。根据“living in a quiet city…working in a busy and modern city”可知，此处表示转折，故选D。 18．句意：在美国，约翰一直不喜欢公共交通工具，一开始他很担心自己的旅行经历。 happy开心的；excited激动的；worried担心的；sad悲伤的。根据“As somebody who disliked public transport all the time in the US”可知，约翰不喜欢公共交通，所以一开始是很担心的，故选C。 19．句意：但后来他到达北京后，真的被中国的高铁惊呆了。 arriving到达；joining参加；studying学习；living居住。根据“But later he was really amazed at China’s high-speed trains after…in Beijing.”可知，此处指约翰到达北京，arrive in Beijing“到达北京”，故选A。 20．句意：“我甚至感觉不到火车开得有多快，”约翰告诉我们。 look看起来；see看见；feel感觉；listen听。根据“I can’t even…how fast the train is moving”可知，是感觉火车在移动，故选C。 21．句意：如果没有窗户，大多数人都分辨不出我们什么时候停下来，什么时候以300公里/小时的速度行驶。 stopped停止；moved移动；woke叫醒；flew飞。根据“If there were no windows, most people wouldn’t be able to tell when we…”可知，速度太快，分不清何时停止何时高速行驶，故选A。 22．句意：此外，你可以在火车上享受美味的食物和饮料。 However然而；Moreover此外；Otherwise否则；Instead而不是。根据“you can enjoy nice food and drinks on the train”可知，除前文提到的之外，还可以享受美食，“此外”符合语境，故选B。 23．句意：与其他公共交通工具相比，高铁意味着最小的噪音和最少的污染。 shake摇动；cost花费；waste浪费；pollution污染。根据下文“ it can also protect the environment”可知，高铁更环保，污染更少，故选D。 24．句意：也许这就是为什么中国政府一直在修建铁路的原因。 kept保持；missed错过；started开始；practiced练习。根据“Maybe this is the reason why the Chinese government has…building its railway all the time.”可知，中国政府一致在修建铁路，keep doing sth“一直/继续做某事”，故选A。 25．句意：如果这种火车被制造完成，它的速度是飞机的五倍，它将改变整个世界的旅行方式。 time时间；trip旅行；speed速度；journey旅程。根据“with its…five times faster than that of a plane”可知，乘坐火车旅行的速度是飞机的五倍，故选C。 三、阅读理解（15分） The world’s fastest trains Let’s have a look at the high-speed vehicles that run on rails (轨道).

These aircraft can fly because they are filled with lighter-than-air gases. Some types have a rigid frame and all of them have a cabin (机舱) below the main body. Pilots and passengers are carried in this cabin. Back in the 1900s, most airships were filled with hydrogen (氢气). The gas burns easily. In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing. Thirty-six people died as a result. The sad thing scared people away from airships. At that time, planes were improving quickly. Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel. Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years. The new airship, about 123 metres long, is the largest of its kind since the 1930s. It uses helium (氦气).This gas is also lighter than air but does not burn. The helium fills 13 separate parts of the airship. About 10,000 long carbon fibre tubes (碳纤维管) make up a strong frame to protect these parts. The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators (发电机). With these motors, the airship can take off and land without a runway. Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4 tons of goods. It can fly at a speed of up to 120 kilometres per hour. In November 2023, the airship made its first test flights in California. LTA Research hopes to show that their airships can be used to move goods quickly without polluting the air. 37．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Planes were improving quickly after the airship had a crash. B．People preferred to travel by plane rather than by airship for safety. C．LTA Research has been working on its airship for about ten years. D．Airships were uncomfortable and not big enough for pilots or passengers to stay in. 38．How does the author describe the new airship in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By raising questions. D．By making comparisons. 39．What does the underlined word “powered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Protected. B．Driven. C．Stopped. D．Designed. 40．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The history of airships in the 1900s B．Pathfinder 1: a new safe and green airship C．The differences between planes and airships D．LTA Research: a famous American company 【答案】37．B 38．A 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了飞艇的发展历史，以及美国LTA Research公司研发的新型飞艇Pathfinder 1，旨在展示一种更安全、环保的空中运输方式。 37．词句猜测题。根据“In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing…Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel.”以及“Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years.”可知，兴登堡号事故后，人们出于安全考虑，大多选择乘坐飞机而非飞艇，一家美国公司想要改变这一状况，这里的“that”指代的就是前文提到的“人们更倾向于乘坐飞机而非飞艇”这一现状。故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据“123 metres long”、“13 separate parts”、“10,000 long carbon fibre tubes”、“12 electric motors”等。因此，作者是通过列数字的方式进行描述的。故选A。 39．词句猜测题。根据“The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators.”可知，飞艇由12个电动机提供动力，电力来自电池或发电机，因此，“powered”的意思是“驱动、提供动力”，与“Driven”同义。故选B。 40．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章首先回顾了飞艇因安全问题被飞机取代的历史，然后重点介绍了LTA Research公司研发的新型飞艇Pathfinder 1，它使用不易燃的氦气，由电力驱动，既安全又环保，所以B项符合。故选B。 四、单词拼写（15分） 41．It is ________ (方便的) for us to book tickets online with just a mobile phone. 【答案】convenient 【详解】句意：我们只用一部手机就能在线订票，这很方便。“方便的”可译为convenient，形容词作表语。 42．Yuan Longping is one of the greatest ________ (先驱) in the research of hybrid rice in China. 【答案】pioneers 【详解】句意：袁隆平是中国杂交水稻研究的伟大先驱之一。one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数，意为“最……的……之一”。该结构要求名词必须使用复数形式，表示“在某一群体中”。故填pioneers。 43．On Chinese New Year, people often put up red decorations which stand for good luck, happiness and ________ (财富). 【答案】wealth 【详解】句意：在春节，人们常张贴红色装饰品，象征好运、幸福和财富。wealth“财富”，为不可数名词，填原形。 44．To protect the environment, many factories are developing new green ________ (产业) around the country. 【答案】industries 【详解】句意：为了保护环境，全国许多工厂正在发展新的绿色产业。根据“many”及“new green”提示，需填可数名词复数形式作宾语。“产业”为名词industry，其复数形式是industries。 45．A good writer always puts his own ________ (创造力) and real life stories into his works. 【答案】creativity 【详解】句意：一个好作家总是把自己的创造力和真实生活故事融入作品。creativity“创造力”，为不可数名词。 46．We should listen to others’ different ________ (观点) before we make a final decision. 【答案】opinions 【详解】句意：在做最终决定之前，我们应该听取别人不同的观点。“观点”为opinion，前面有others’ different，后面应用名词复数，故用opinions。 47．It’s not polite to talk loudly in p________ places like libraries and underground stations. 【答案】public 【详解】句意：在图书馆和地铁站等公共场所大声说话是不礼貌的。首字母p提示，此处需要形容词修饰名词places，public places意为“公共场所”。故填public。 48．With the fast d________ of the Internet, people’s way of getting information has changed a lot. 【答案】development/evelopment 【详解】句意：随着互联网的快速发展，人们获取信息的方式发生了很大变化。空格前有定冠词the和形容词fast，后接介词of，此处需要填名词。结合首字母“d”提示，可知填development，意为“发展”。 49．My mother ________ (use) to grow vegetables in the yard when we lived in the countryside. 【答案】used 【详解】句意：我们住在乡下时，我妈妈过去常常在院子里种菜。“used to do”表示过去习惯性动作或状态，此处用一般过去时。 50．The terrible heavy rain and bad road conditions ________ (lead) to many traffic accidents so far. 【答案】have led 【详解】句意：到目前为止，这场特大暴雨和糟糕的路况已经导致了许多交通事故。so far是现在完成时的典型标志，现在完成时的结构为助动词have/has+过去分词；此处主语The terrible heavy rain and bad road conditions是复数，助动词用have，lead的过去分词是led。 51．With the rapid ________ (develop) of 5G technology, smart cars are becoming more and more popular. 【答案】development 【详解】句意：随着5G技术的快速发展，智能汽车变得越来越受欢迎。定冠词the后需用名词形式，develop的名词为development。 52．Zhong Nanshan is famous for his ________ (pioneer) work in the fight against COVID-19. 【答案】pioneering 【详解】句意：钟南山因其在抗击新冠肺炎中的开创性工作而闻名。修饰名词“work”，需用形容词作定语。“pioneer”的形容词形式为“pioneering”，意为“先驱的，开创性的”。 53．The minute he saw the beautiful view of the West Lake, he _____ (fall) in love with Hangzhou. 【答案】fell 【详解】句意：他一看到西湖的美景，就爱上了杭州。根据括号内提示可知，fall“落下；跌倒”，固定短语fall in love with表示 “爱上……”；本句为The minute 引导的时间状语从句，遵循“主将从现”或“主过从过”，从句saw为一般过去时，因此主句也用一般过去时，fall的过去式为fell，故填 fell。 54．She ________ (step) into the classroom quietly, afraid of breaking the silence of the exam. 【答案】stepped 【详解】句意：她悄悄地走进教室，害怕打破考试的寂静。此处需要谓语动词，描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时stepped。 55．The top players in the competition will get medals and many special ________ (award) at the closing ceremony. 【答案】awards 【详解】句意：比赛中的顶尖选手将在闭幕式上获得奖牌和许多特别奖项。此处位于形容词special后，需要用名词，award“奖项”，many后接可数名词复数，award的复数为awards。 五、完成句子 56．当我在你这个年纪时，我梦想成为一名宇航员。   When I ________, I dreamed of ________. 【答案】 was at your age becoming an astronaut 【详解】原句中“在你这个年纪”和“成为一名宇航员”是关键词。“在你这个年纪”的固定表达是be at your age，句子主句为一般过去时，从句也需用一般过去时，主语I对应的be动词是was；“梦想做某事”用dream of doing sth.，“成为一名宇航员”是become an astronaut，become的动名词形式是becoming。 57．在地铁建成之前，当地居民曾经以捕鱼为生。   The local people ________ before the underground was built. 【答案】used to make a living by fishing 【详解】原句中“曾经以捕鱼为生”是关键词，“used to do sth.”，固定表达，过去常常做某事（现在已不这样），后接动词原形；“捕鱼”翻译为动词“fish”；“以……为生”的短语是“make a living by”，“by+动名词”表示“通过……方式”，fish变为fishing，原句时态为一般过去时，故填used to make a living by fishing。 58．一场音乐会将于本周末在我们的社区中心举行，所以我决定和朋友一起去。   A concert ________ this weekend at our community center, so I ________ with my friend. 【答案】 will be held decided to go 【详解】原句中“将于本周末举行”是关键词，音乐会是“被举行”，要用一般将来时的被动语态，结构为will be + 过去分词，hold的过去分词是held，所以①填will be held。 “决定做某事”是固定短语decide to do sth.，“决定去”对应decided to go，句子用一般过去时表示做好的决定，所以②填decided to go。 59．对他而言，每天骑共享单车上班很常见。   For him, ________ to work every day. 【答案】it is common to ride a shared bike 【详解】原句“很常见”和“骑共享单车”是关键词，本句为固定句型“It is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”，it作形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式。“常见的”用common，“骑共享单车”用ride a shared bike，符合句型结构与句意。 60．这个小镇的生活舒适又方便，人们喜欢住在这里。   Life in this small town is ________, and people ________ here. 【答案】 comfortable and convenient enjoy living 【详解】原句关键是“舒适又方便”和“喜欢住在这里”，“舒适的”是comfortable，“方便的”是convenient，用and连接，作表语；“喜欢做某事”用enjoy doing sth.，“住”是live，动名词是living，主语people是复数，enjoy用原形。 六、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 For over 100 years, it is convenient (方便的) for people to go from one place to another by taxi.

More and more Chinese people would like to travel from one city to 16 by high-speed train. Many young people even choose to live a “twins life”—living in a quiet city 17 working in a busy and modern city. “I had my first chance to take the high-speed train last week when I had a business meeting in Beijing,” John said. As somebody who disliked public transport all the time in the US, John was 18 about his travelling experience at first. But later he was really amazed at China’s high-speed trains after 19 in Beijing. “Trains in China are clean and the seats are very huge. I can’t even 20 how fast the train is moving,” John told us. If there were no windows, most people wouldn’t be able to tell when we 21 or when we were travelling at 300 km/h. Yes, it is so smooth. Even a coin can keep its balance (平衡) on the train. 22 , you can enjoy nice food and drinks on the train. Compared with (与……对比) other kinds of public transport, high-speed rail means the least noise and 23 . So, besides providing fast and enjoyable services ( 服 务 ) for people, it can also protect the environment. Maybe this is the reason why the Chinese government has 24 building its railway all the time. It is reported that a new type of “flying train”, which can run at 4,000 km/h, is on the way. If the train is completed, with its 25 five times faster than that of a plane, it will change the whole world’s travel mode. Just imagine one picture: you close your eyes as soon as you get on the train. After taking a short rest and waking up, congratulate: welcome to China! 16．A．other B．another C．the other D．the others 17．A．if B．when C．until D．while 18．A．happy B．excited C．worried D．sad 19．A．arriving B．joining C．studying D．living 20．A．look B．see C．feel D．listen 21．A．stopped B．moved C．woke D．flew 22．A．However B．Moreover C．Otherwise D．Instead 23．A．shake B．cost C．waste D．pollution 24．A．kept B．missed C．started D．practiced 25．A．time B．trip C．speed D．journey 三、阅读理解（15分） A The world’s fastest trains Let’s have a look at the high-speed vehicles that run on rails (轨道).

In front of an old-fashioned TV set, some Shanghainese gathered around to watch a TV show. In 1981, only one out of every 170 city families in China had a color TV. 1988—1998: ________ In October 1990, the first McDonald’s on the Chinese mainland opened for business in Shenzhen.

D Airships were popular in the early 1900s. These aircraft can fly because they are filled with lighter-than-air gases. Some types have a rigid frame and all of them have a cabin (机舱) below the main body. Pilots and passengers are carried in this cabin. Back in the 1900s, most airships were filled with hydrogen (氢气). The gas burns easily. In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing. Thirty-six people died as a result. The sad thing scared people away from airships. At that time, planes were improving quickly. Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel. Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years. The new airship, about 123 metres long, is the largest of its kind since the 1930s. It uses helium (氦气).This gas is also lighter than air but does not burn. The helium fills 13 separate parts of the airship. About 10,000 long carbon fibre tubes (碳纤维管) make up a strong frame to protect these parts. The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators (发电机). With these motors, the airship can take off and land without a runway. Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4 tons of goods. It can fly at a speed of up to 120 kilometres per hour. In November 2023, the airship made its first test flights in California. LTA Research hopes to show that their airships can be used to move goods quickly without polluting the air. 37．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Planes were improving quickly after the airship had a crash. B．People preferred to travel by plane rather than by airship for safety. C．LTA Research has been working on its airship for about ten years. D．Airships were uncomfortable and not big enough for pilots or passengers to stay in. 38．How does the author describe the new airship in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By raising questions. D．By making comparisons. 39．What does the underlined word “powered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Protected. B．Driven. C．Stopped. D．Designed. 40．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The history of airships in the 1900s B．Pathfinder 1: a new safe and green airship C．The differences between planes and airships D．LTA Research: a famous American company 四、单词拼写（15分） 41．It is ________ (方便的) for us to book tickets online with just a mobile phone. 42．Yuan Longping is one of the greatest ________ (先驱) in the research of hybrid rice in China. 43．On Chinese New Year, people often put up red decorations which stand for good luck, happiness and ________ (财富). 44．To protect the environment, many factories are developing new green ________ (产业) around the country. 45．A good writer always puts his own ________ (创造力) and real life stories into his works. 46．We should listen to others’ different ________ (观点) before we make a final decision. 47．It’s not polite to talk loudly in p________ places like libraries and underground stations. 48．With the fast d________ of the Internet, people’s way of getting information has changed a lot. 49．My mother ________ (use) to grow vegetables in the yard when we lived in the countryside. 50．The terrible heavy rain and bad road conditions ________ (lead) to many traffic accidents so far. 51．With the rapid ________ (develop) of 5G technology, smart cars are becoming more and more popular. 52．Zhong Nanshan is famous for his ________ (pioneer) work in the fight against COVID-19. 53．The minute he saw the beautiful view of the West Lake, he _____ (fall) in love with Hangzhou. 54．She ________ (step) into the classroom quietly, afraid of breaking the silence of the exam. 55．The top players in the competition will get medals and many special ________ (award) at the closing ceremony. 五、完成句子（10分） 56．当我在你这个年纪时，我梦想成为一名宇航员。   When I ________, I dreamed of ________. 57．在地铁建成之前，当地居民曾经以捕鱼为生。   The local people ________ before the underground was built. 58．一场音乐会将于本周末在我们的社区中心举行，所以我决定和朋友一起去。   A concert ________ this weekend at our community center, so I ________ with my friend. 59．对他而言，每天骑共享单车上班很常见。   For him, ________ to work every day. 60．这个小镇的生活舒适又方便，人们喜欢住在这里。   Life in this small town is ________, and people ________ here. 六、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 For over 100 years, it is convenient (方便的) for people to go from one place to another by taxi.
