6. — Where are Mike’s family? I haven’t seen them for a couple of days.

【解析】
【详解】句意:——迈克的家人在哪里?我好几天没见到他们了。——他家除了祖父母之外,每个人都去三亚度假了。
“have/has gone to”表示去了某地未回;“have/has been to”表示去过某地已回。根据“I haven’t seen them for a couple of days.”可知家人尚未回来,应用have/has gone to。主语Everyone为不定代词,谓语动词用单数has。

考查现在完成时。has been on已经开始且一直在持续;has started表述有误;has been over已经结束;has ended表述有误。for ten minutes是一段时间,要与延续性动词连用。start和end是短暂性动词,其延续性形式分别为be on“进行”和be over“结束”。根据“China won the game”可知,比赛已经结束。故选C。

—No problem! Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
A. what you are used to liking B. what you used to like

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我不在乎你过去喜欢什么,但我们学校只提供西餐。——没问题!俗话说“入乡随俗”。
考查动词短语辨析。used to do过去常常做某事;be used to doing习惯做某事,根据“I don’t care...but our school provides Western food only.”和“When in Rome, do as the Romans do”可知,这里应是不在乎过去喜欢什么食物,即what you used to like。故选B。
10. —If you need anything, ________. I’ll do it for you.
—You’re so kind. Thank you!
A. you make it B. you’ve got it C. you said it D. you name it

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives-even their own rubbish.
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills. Until its closure in 2012, Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the rubbish from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits. For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images.
________ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art auction. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
In 2010, a movie called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. The film received many awards and helped make people aware of the rubbish collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently. “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.”
27. Why did the writer mention Valter Dos Santos?
A. To tell the story of a catador’s life. B. To describe the catadores’ hard conditions.
C. To show the value of a catador’s work. D. To give an example of successful catadores.
28. What can we learn about Muniz’s photographs?
A. They were all taken at the landfill. B. He spent a long time on each of them.
C. They were only part of his unusual creation. D. He took them in the style of famous paintings.
29. Which of the following is the most suitable for ________?
A. Why take such photos of these catadores? B. Why create such huge images using rubbish?
C. How to help these people in a creative way? D. How to turn everyday objects into art pieces?
30. Which of the following shows the right order of the things that happened?
a. A movie was made about Muniz’s project. b. Gramacho stopped receiving rubbish.
c. Dos Santos started working at Gramacho. d. Muniz made friends with some catadores.
A. d-c-b-a. B. c-d-b-a. C. d-c-a-b. D. c-d-a-b.
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. B 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了巴西艺术家Vik Muniz通过使用垃圾填埋场的日常物品创作艺术,改变人们对垃圾和垃圾收集者生活的看法,并与垃圾收集者合作完成艺术项目的过程。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting…They used materials from the landfill to create huge images”可知,这些照片只是他非常规创作的一部分。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据空缺后Muniz的话“change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day”可知,此处应解释用垃圾创作巨型图像的原因。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文信息:c(Dos Santos工作25年,早于2007年项目)→d(2007年Muniz与收集者成为朋友)→a(2010年电影上映)→b(2012年填埋场关闭)。故选D。

【详解】句意:——哦,我的天哪!有人替我付了账。——别那样看着我。不是我。根据句意结构和英文提示可知,账单在谈话前已经被支付完了,需用现在完成时,结构为“have/has+过去分词”;主语Someone是第三人称单数,助动词用has,pay的过去分词为paid。
53. —What about shopping in Costco? It’s the most popular shopping mall recently.
—I think it’s too crowded. I prefer ________ (stay) at home rather than go out.
【答案】to stay
【解析】
【详解】句意:——去开市客 (Costco) 购物怎么样?它是最近最火的购物中心了。 ——我觉得那里太挤了。我宁愿待在家里,也不愿出去。prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做某事,也不愿做某事”,固定搭配;因此,这里应用动词不定式to stay。故填to stay。
54. —Who do you think ________ (show) the exchange students around Beijing this afternoon?
—Yu Tao is, I think.
【答案】is going to show
【解析】

55. Besides reading English every day, what else should I pay attention to ________ (improve) my English?
【答案】to improve
【解析】

56. 无锡积极推动自身成为一个世界音乐之都。
Wuxi is ______________ become a world-class City of Music.
【答案】actively pushing itself to
【解析】
【详解】原句中“积极推动自身”是关键词。表示“推动某人做某事”的短语是push sb to do,is后接现在分词pushing构成现在进行时;表示“积极”的单词是actively修饰动词push;表示“自身”的单词是itself。
57. 他祖父过去靠捕鱼为生。
His grandpa ______________.
【答案】used to make a living by fishing
【解析】
【详解】原句中“过去靠捕鱼为生”是关键词。对应表达“过去经常做某事”的结构是“used to do sth.”;表示“靠……为生”的常用短语是“make a living by doing sth.”;其中介词“by”后需接动名词形式,因此“捕鱼”需变为动名词“fishing”。答案不唯一。
58. 这位工程师从三年前起就离开他的家乡了。
The engineer ______________.
【答案】has been away from his hometown since three years ago
【解析】
【详解】原句中“从三年前起就离开他的家乡了”是关键信息,表示动作从过去开始一直持续到现在,需用现在完成时,且要与“since + 时间段”连用;leave是短暂性动词,需转换为延续性动词短语be away from his hometown。本句主语“The engineer”是第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has been away from his hometown since three years ago。
59. 他们来无锡三天了,要到下周五才回上海。
They ______________ and ______________ next Friday.
【答案】 ①. have been in Wuxi for three days ②. won’t go back to Shanghai until
【解析】
【详解】前半句“来无锡三天了”是现在完成时,且有时间段,要用延续性动词,主语是they,come是非延续性动词,需改为have been in,“三天”用for three days;后半句“直到下周五才回”用一般将来时的否定结构won’t,“回上海”是go back to Shanghai,“直到”用until。
60. 春天务必要去趟洛阳欣赏牡丹花。
______________ peonies in spring.
【答案】Be sure to make your way to Luoyang to admire

61. 无论你去哪个城市,总有一些出名的景点值得一游。
______________, there are always some ______________.
【答案】 ①. No matter which city you go to ②. famous attractions worth visiting
【解析】
【详解】原句中“无论你去哪个城市”和“出名的景点值得一游”是关键词。“无论你去哪个城市”用No matter which city you go to表示,为让步状语从句;“出名的景点”用famous attractions表示,some后跟名词复数;“值得一游”用worth visiting表示,作后置定语修饰attractions。

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives-even their own rubbish.
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills. Until its closure in 2012, Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the rubbish from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits. For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images.
________ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art auction. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
In 2010, a movie called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. The film received many awards and helped make people aware of the rubbish collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently. “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.”
27. Why did the writer mention Valter Dos Santos?
A. To tell the story of a catador’s life. B. To describe the catadores’ hard conditions.
C. To show the value of a catador’s work. D. To give an example of successful catadores.
28. What can we learn about Muniz’s photographs?
A. They were all taken at the landfill. B. He spent a long time on each of them.
C. They were only part of his unusual creation. D. He took them in the style of famous paintings.
29. Which of the following is the most suitable for ________?
A. Why take such photos of these catadores? B. Why create such huge images using rubbish?
C. How to help these people in a creative way? D. How to turn everyday objects into art pieces?
30. Which of the following shows the right order of the things that happened?
a. A movie was made about Muniz’s project. b. Gramacho stopped receiving rubbish.
c. Dos Santos started working at Gramacho. d. Muniz made friends with some catadores.
A. d-c-b-a. B. c-d-b-a. C. d-c-a-b. D. c-d-a-b.
