A. My pleasure B. With pleasure C. That’s right D. No, thanks 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——非常感谢你教我如何使用电脑。——不客气。 考查情景交际。My pleasure不客气；With pleasure乐意之至；That’s right没错；No, thanks不，谢谢。根据“Thank you very much for showing me how to use the computer.”可知，对于他人的感谢应说“不客气”，My pleasure符合语境。故选A。 三、完形填空。（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） Like many other young people, I’m interested in taking a trip.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者十岁那年与母亲一起去青岛旅行的经历。作者第一次看到大海，在海滩上奔跑、捡贝壳、下水玩耍，并在母亲的鼓励下尝试乘坐快艇，感受到了飞翔般的刺激，表达了对此行难忘的喜爱之情。 【11题详解】 句意：每年父母都带我去不同的地方度假。 上文提到“我”对旅行感兴趣，下文说“But the trip to Qingdao was my favourite one”（但青岛之旅是我最喜爱的），说明每年去的地方不一样，青岛是其中最难忘的一次。different意为“不同的”，与下文形成对比，符合逻辑。 【12题详解】 句意：但青岛之旅是我最喜爱的一次。 上文说每年去不同地方，下文详细描述青岛之旅的美好回忆：看海、捡贝壳、坐快艇等。favourite意为“最喜爱的”，与后文对旅行赞美和怀念的语气一致，体现此次旅行的特殊地位。 【13题详解】 句意：我和妈妈乘坐快车去了青岛。 take a train为固定搭配，意为“乘坐火车”。此处描述去青岛的交通方式，took符合“乘坐交通工具”的语境，与a fast train搭配自然。 【14题详解】 句意：在那之前，我从未见过大海。 上文提到“When we got there, the first thing was to see the sea”（到达后第一件事就是看海），说明这是作者第一次见到大海。never意为“从未”，与后文“第一次看海感到震撼”的语境吻合。 【15题详解】 句意：有如此多的蓝色海水，以至于看不到尽头。 上文描述看海，下文说“看不到尽头”，指的是海水的广阔。water意为“水、海水”，blue water特指蓝色的海水，符合“大海”的描述。 【16题详解】 句意：在舒适的海滩上，我脱掉鞋子，又跑又跳。 下文提到海浪拍打海滩、捡贝壳、下水游泳等，这些活动都发生在海滩上。beach意为“海滩”，与后文running, jumping, picking up shells等活动场景一致。 【17题详解】 句意：海浪和海风不停地向海滩移动。 海浪和海风是动态的，不断向海滩方向运动。moving意为“移动”，符合对自然现象的客观描述，与kept（持续）搭配表示连续不断的状态。 【18题详解】 句意：当在海滩上行走时，我捡起了许多贝壳。 “行走”和“捡贝壳”是同时发生的两个动作。when意为“当……的时候”，引导时间状语从句，表示主句动作发生在从句动作进行的过程中，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 句意：它们真的很漂亮。 贝壳通常色彩鲜艳、形状各异，被认为是美丽的收藏品。beautiful意为“漂亮的”，符合作者捡起贝壳后对其外观的正面评价。 【20题详解】 句意：水像秋千一样不断地把我托起和放下。 上文提到水像秋千，秋千的运动轨迹是一上一下。down意为“向下”，与up（向上）形成反义对应，共同描述水的上下起伏，符合“像秋千一样”的比喻。 【21题详解】 句意：我想尝试坐上去，但我感到有点害怕。 快艇速度快且在海面上行驶，作者是第一次尝试，感到害怕是正常的心理反应。afraid意为“害怕的”，与后文母亲鼓励“go for it”形成呼应——正是因为害怕才需要鼓励。 【22题详解】 句意：妈妈说：“亲爱的，去试试吧，试着做你自己。” 母亲鼓励作者克服恐惧、勇敢尝试。yourself意为“你自己”，try to be yourself在此语境中意为“做你自己、不要害怕、展现勇敢的一面”，符合母亲鼓励孩子挑战自我的语气。 【23题详解】 句意：很快它开始快速行驶，我感觉自己好像在飞翔。 快艇高速行驶，海风扑面而来，作者产生了飞翔的错觉。felt like意为“感觉好像”，用于表达主观感受和比喻，符合“I was flying”的夸张描述。 【24题详解】 句意：我真的很享受那个假期。 全文都在描述旅行的美好体验：看海、捡贝壳、坐快艇等。enjoyed意为“享受”，表达作者对假期的喜爱和怀念，与后文“taught me a lot”共同构成对假期的正面评价。 【25题详解】 句意：它教会了我很多，我也从中获得了许多乐趣。 上文描述了旅行中的快乐体验，fun意为“乐趣”，与had a lot of搭配构成固定表达，意为“玩得很开心”，与全文轻松愉快的基调一致。 四、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节（共15题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Leeds Castle One of the most popular places of interest in Britain Opening times Open all year round except (除了) 7th and 8th November and Christmas Day (25th December). 1 April to 30 September Open:10:30 am — 5:30 pm Gates close at 6 pm 1 October to 31 March Open: 10:30 am — 4 pm Gates close. at 5 pm Prices Adults: £16.50 Students: £9.50 Children under 4: free 26.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了有关利兹城堡的一则广告。 【26题详解】 根据“Open all year round except (除了) 7th and 8th November and Christmas Day (25th December).”可知，除了11月7日和8日以及圣诞节(12月25日)以外，全年开放。因此1月7日是开门的. 【27题详解】 根据“Adults: £16.50 Students: £9.50 Children under 4: free” ，两个成年人和一个三岁的孩子，可推知他们要付£33。 【28题详解】 根据“1 October to 31 March Open: 10:30 am — 4 pm Gates close. at 5 pm”可知，10月1日至3月31日，下午5点关门。因此10月29日是下午五点关门。 B The Internet is often used to buy and sell products, pay bills, and communicate with people. But how safe is it when you use the Internet? Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences. Linda, 29, nurse: I pay all my bills online. One day, I received an email from my bank. It told me that someone was trying to take out money from my account (账号), so I should email my password (密码) to the “bank manager”. I felt something was wrong, so I called my bank and asked about the email. The bank said they never sent it. I realized that someone tried to cheat (欺骗) me of my money. I’ll continue paying my bills this way, but I’ll be more careful. Emily, 22, office worker: I was at work, and I sent an email to a friend of mine. I was telling her about my problems with Mark, the manager. A few minutes later, a friend of Mark’s came over to my desk. He said, “So you think Mark is too strict (严厉的)?” My face was red. I chose the wrong name on my address list. It was my own fault, so I’ll look over my emails more carefully before I click “Send” next time. Thomas, 21, university student: I love the Internet! I look up lots of information online. I often buy things on the websites — furniture, clothes, CDs, even foods. I have also sold some of my things on the Internet. I only use the websites I trust and I’ve never had a safety problem. 29. Where is the passage taken from? A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A magazine. D. A history book. 30.

It has a long history. Its old town centre was built in the 1500s. It’s a place where visitors can go back in time to a different world. Many of the local people are farmers. However, farming is not the only business here today. Tourists all over the world are coming to learn about the town and its history—and spend money. This has brought hope and money to the town. Many people think that tourism will decide the future of the town. “This is an easier way to make money. Now we have a very good chance to develop tourism and help our economy,” some people say. However, tourism has also caused problems. The local environment has become worse because of pollution. The local people want a business that makes money, but they know they have to be very careful. ________ They have to make some important decisions. Will they be able to take action to improve the situation? Will they further develop tourism? No one knows. The future of their beautiful town may depend on the decisions they make today. 32. Which is TRUE about my hometown? A. It’s near a hill. B. It’s an old town. C. It’s a new city. D. It’s an old village. 33. What are the main businesses here? A. Fishing and farming. B. Farming and tea. C. Farming and tourism. D. Tea and fishing. 34. What problem has tourism caused? A. The local people wouldn’t like to do the farming any more. B.

Put the best sentence into the blank ________ in the last paragraph. A. It’s a good chance to develop tourism. B. They shouldn’t develop tourism at all. C. Everyone wants to make money. D. They can’t let tourism grow without any control. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了作者临海、历史悠久的家乡，讲述当地依靠农业与旅游业发展经济，旅游业在带来收益的同时也造成了环境问题，当地人需要谨慎管控旅游业、做出关乎小镇未来的抉择 【32题详解】 第一段指出：“Its old town centre was built in the 1500s.”，这直接说明作者的家乡是一座古老的城镇。 【33题详解】 第二段提到：“Many of the local people are farmers. However, farming is not the only business here today. Tourists all over the world are coming...”，明确了这里主要的产业是农业和旅游业。 【34题详解】 第三段表明：“However, tourism has also caused problems. The local environment has become worse because of pollution.”，可以推断出旅游业带来的问题是当地环境不如以前干净了。 【35题详解】 最后一段前文说到当地人想要赚钱，但是必须十分谨慎，后文又说他们要做出重要决定、管控旅游业发展。空白处前文提示要谨慎对待，因此“They can’t let tourism grow without any control.”（他们不能任由旅游业无节制地发展）衔接上下文最合适。 D （One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged (损坏). He was washed to the beach. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.） The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers. After about two hours, the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went too. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country. — Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 36. To the tiny people, Gulliver was a(n) ________ at first. A. friend B. enemy C. relative D. tourist 37. Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first? A. They wanted to kill him and get his eyes. B. They were afraid of him because he was too big. C. They thought he would attack the king. D. They liked him and wanted to make fun of him. 38. The underlined word “them” refers to “________”. A. the guards B. the officers C. the five men D. the soldiers 39. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ① The Emperor ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ② They couldn’t understand each other. ③ The Emperor spoke. ④ Gulliver didn’t punish the six tiny people and let them go. ⑤ The Emperor left. A. ③⑤②①④ B. ③②⑤④① C. ⑤①④③② D. ②⑤①③④ 40. Why didn’t the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally? A. He was so strong that he would work for them. B. He was so big and they didn’t have the weapon to kill him. C. The Emperor and his family liked him so much that they didn’t agree. D. His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country. 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛被冲到小人国后与小人国人民之间发生的故事。 【36题详解】 根据第一段“a lot of tiny people were around him”以及后文他们派守卫看管他可知，起初小人国的人把他当作敌人。 【37题详解】 根据第一段格列佛体型巨大，以及后文“This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me”可知，小人国的人因为害怕他体型太大而伤害他。 【38题详解】 根据上文“I put five of them in my pocket”可知，them指代前文提到的六个人中的五个，即“the five men”。下文“Then I pretended to eat the sixth man.”进一步说明这六个人的身份。因此them指代的是“the five men”。 【39题详解】 根据原文内容：首先第二段“The Emperor spoke in a low voice”（皇帝低声说话）对应③；接着同段“neither of us understood a single word”（彼此听不懂对方的话）对应②；然后第三段“After about two hours, the Emperor left”（两小时后皇帝离开）对应⑤；之后第四至第六段格列佛放了那六个人（“I put five of them in my pocket...let him go...put them gently on the ground”）对应④；最后第七段“The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me”（皇帝下令做床）对应①。因此顺序为③②⑤④①。 【40题详解】 根据最后一段“They would not be able to bury me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.”可知，他们不杀死格列佛是因为尸体发臭会导致疾病。 第二节（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If your children are learning to read, it’s wonderful!

G 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了使孩子喜爱阅读的一些方法。 【41题详解】 根据上文“But the fact is that reading is a skill.（但是事实是阅读是一项技能。）”和下文“Create comfortable reading space.（创造舒适的阅读空间。）”可知，设空处是引出下面的方法。因此F项“Here are some useful ways to help make your children love reading!（以下是一些有用的方法来帮助你的孩子爱上阅读!）”符合。 【42题详解】 根据上文“Choose a special place with the right things-blankets and pillows for your children and a bookcase of your children’s books. （选择一个有正确的东西的特别的地方——给你的孩子的毯子和枕头，给你的孩子的书的书架。）”可知，阅读的地方很重要。因此E项“This special place may push your children to start to love reading. （这个特别的地方可能会激励你的孩子开始喜欢阅读。）”符合。 【43题详解】 根据下文“If you want your children to learn to love reading, set aside a few minutes everyday to read together, no matter how busy you are.（如果你想让你的孩子学会爱读书，不管你有多忙，每天都要留出一些时间一起读书。）”可知，此处是说留出时间一起阅读。因此A项“Set aside time to read together.（留出时间一起阅读。）”符合。 【44题详解】 根据下文“Plan to go to bed a few minutes earlier each night, so your children have the time to choose a book to read.（每天晚上提前几分钟上床睡觉，这样你的孩子就有时间选择一本书来读。）可知，此处是说睡前阅读。因此D项“Reading together is the perfect way to relax before bedtime.（一起阅读是睡前放松的最佳方式。）”符合。 【45题详解】 根据上文“Making a special treat of spending some time in the library or bookshop can be the perfect way to get your children excited about reading.（花些时间去图书馆或书店是让你的孩子对阅读感兴趣的最好方法。”可知，设空处是说图书馆或书店是让你的孩子对阅读感兴趣的地方。因此G项“Let them have fun there and they can choose whatever excites them.（让他们在那里玩得开心，他们可以选择任何让他们兴奋的东西。）”符合。 五、根据句意及所给中文提示、首字母或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 46. The dish in the restaurant looks good but in fact it’s not ________ (美味的). 【答案】delicious 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家餐馆的菜看起来不错，但实际上并不美味。此处需要形容词作表语，“美味的”对应的英文单词是delicious。 47. We must stop driving cars to reduce air ________ (污染) in the cities. 【答案】pollution 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们必须停止驾驶汽车来减少城市里的空气污染。此处需要名词作reduce的宾语，“污染”对应的英文单词是pollution，air pollution是固定搭配，意为“空气污染”。 48. Don’t feed the two babies any more. Look at their ________ (腹部). 【答案】stomachs 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要再喂这两个婴儿了。看看他们的腹部。腹部“stomach”，可数名词，根据“two babies any more. Look at their...”可知，此处表示两个婴儿的腹部，此处应用复数形式，stomach的复数为不规则变化，在其后面直接+s。故填stomachs。 49. Australian seasons are the ________ (对立的人或物) of ours. 【答案】opposite 【解析】 【详解】句意：澳大利亚的季节和我们的季节相反。根据汉语提示可知，“对立的人或物”对应的英文单词是opposite，在此处表示“相反的（事物）”，为名词。 50. Many parents in China want their children to go a________ for further study. 【答案】abroad##broad 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国的许多父母希望他们的孩子出国深造。“go abroad”是固定搭配，意为“出国”，结合语境“further study（深造）”和首字母a，abroad符合语法和语义要求。 51. This book can improve my k________ of English grammar. 【答案】knowledge##nowledge 【解析】 【详解】句意：这本书可以提高我的英语语法知识。根据“of English grammar”及首字母提示可知，此处指语法知识，填knowledge，是不可数名词。 52. There are ________ (more than two) lakes, hills and a large green lawn in the park. 【答案】several 【解析】 【详解】句意：公园里有几个湖泊、小山和一大片绿色草坪。“more than two”意为“超过两个”，即“几个”，several意为“几个/若干”，符合语境。 53. After three days, the team finally ________ (finish what you have tried to do) to walk through the forest. 【答案】managed 【解析】 【详解】句意：三天后，这支队伍终于成功穿过了森林。括号里的英文提示“finish what you have tried to do”意思就是 “设法完成、努力做到”，对应“manage to do sth.”（设法做成某事）。前面有After three days表示过去，所以用过去式managed。 六、（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，用括号内所给词的正确时态或形式填空，使短文完整。 Travel can teach kids more than a textbook.

Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences. Linda, 29, nurse: I pay all my bills online. One day, I received an email from my bank. It told me that someone was trying to take out money from my account (账号), so I should email my password (密码) to the “bank manager”. I felt something was wrong, so I called my bank and asked about the email. The bank said they never sent it. I realized that someone tried to cheat (欺骗) me of my money. I’ll continue paying my bills this way, but I’ll be more careful. Emily, 22, office worker: I was at work, and I sent an email to a friend of mine.

When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.） The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers. After about two hours, the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went too. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country. — Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 36.
