A. lend; kept; has kept; B. borrow; has borrowed; has kept C. borrow; borrowed; has kept D. lend; has kept; has borrowed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我能借一下你的书吗？——抱歉。汤姆借走了我的书，他已经借了两周了。 lend借出 (主语把东西借给别人)；borrow借入 (主语从别人那里借东西)；keep保留、持有，延续性动词。第一空表示“我借你的书”，应用“borrow”。第二空表示“汤姆借走了我的书”，描述过去发生的动作，可用一般过去时“borrowed”。第三空“for two weeks” (两周) 是时间段，动词应用延续性动词“keep” (持有) 的现在完成时“has kept”。应填“borrow; borrowed; has kept”。 12. Most of my classmates, ________ Sandy, Jimmy and Angela, are friendly to me. A. for example B. such as C. besides D. such that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的大多数同学，比如桑迪、吉米和安吉拉，对我都很友好。 for example例如，后常接逗号或句子；such as例如，用于列举同类事物中的几个例子，直接跟在名词后；besides除……之外；such that以至于。根据句意，此处是在classmates后直接列举具体人名作为例子，应用such as。 13. — ______ have you talked with your friends on WeChat? — Since I finished my homework.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在母亲去世后沉浸于悲伤，却在女儿的拥抱中感受到母亲的爱与生命的温暖的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：我睁着眼睛躺在床上，什么也不想说。 下文解释了母亲几天前去世了，所以是什么也不想说，否定句中用anything“任何事情”。something“某些事情”常用于肯定句；nothing“没有什么”和everything“一切”均不符合。 【17题详解】 句意：我母亲一生都在努力工作来养活我们。 根据“worked so hard”可知，母亲工作努力应该是为了养活“我们”，support“养活”。help“帮助”、encourage“鼓励”和cheer“欢呼”均不符合。 【18题详解】 句意：她脾气暴躁，有时会对我和哥哥大喊大叫，但我一直知道她爱我。 根据“but”可知，此处表示转折，母亲虽然脾气暴躁，但作者一直知道母亲是爱自己的，always“总是；一直”。seldom“很少”、never“从不”和sometimes“有时”均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：不过，她是在传统的方式下长大的，我们也是这样长大的。 下文说到记不得母亲曾经拥抱过自己，可推测是在传统的方式下长大的，traditional“传统的”。successful“成功的”、careful“仔细的”和modern“现代的”均不符合。 【20题详解】 句意：我很高兴有她在身边。 根据下文“I would often visit her and talk with her”可知，母亲在身边，作者很高兴，happy“高兴的”。sad“悲伤的”、surprised“惊讶的”和afraid“害怕的”均不符合。 【21题详解】 句意：后来，她的健康状况开始迅速恶化，几个月后，她离开了我们。 根据“within a few months, she left us”可知，健康状况开始恶化，fail“失败；衰退”。rise“上升”、improve“提高”和disappear“消失”均不符合。 【22题详解】 句意：当我听到这个消息时，也是一个寒冷的早晨，但我内心太冷了，感觉不到。 “It was also a cold morning”是事情发生的时间，用when“当……时”引导时间状语从句。that“那个”what“什么”和how“如何”均不能引导状语从句。 【23题详解】 句意：我叹了口气，下了床。 下文说打开灯走出房间，应该是下了床，bed“床”。dream“梦想”、house“房子”和bedroom“卧室”均不符合。 【24题详解】 句意：突然，她张开双臂，给了我一个衷心的拥抱。 根据“gave me a heartfelt hug”可知，是张开双臂，opened“打开”。showed“展示”、turned“转身”和threw“扔”均不符合。 【25题详解】 句意：就在她这样做的时候，我听到我母亲的声音在我内心深处说：“亲爱的，这个拥抱是我给的！”。 下文是说的话，所以是内心深处听到母亲的声音，voice“声音”。name“名字”、promise“承诺”和message“消息”均不符合。 三、阅读理解（24%） A Welcome to Wyndham Grand Taixing Hotel and we will do all we can to make your stay an enjoyable one.

Recently, a survey showed that only about 20% of the middle school students in Suzhou ride to school. In fact, a bicycle is not only a tool but also a weapon (武器) to fight against climate change. The United Nations General Assembly made a decision in 2022 to support bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. It calls on member states to use more bicycles. Many bicycle and environmental protection groups have supported the decision. “It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport,” said the European Cyclists’ Federation. After the decision was made, many countries have done a lot to increase the use of bicycles. In May 2023, bike sales in Spain increased 22-fold (22倍) compared with 2022. That means more and more people in Spain choose bikes as their travelling tools. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. And China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world, with more than 360 cities and nearly 20 million bicycles for about 47 million trips each day. It could surely be seen as a mark of China’s bike-sharing success. All in all, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to get around. Cycling instead of driving a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emissions (排放) from transport. If more people choose cycling, the world will be a greener one. 29. What does the underlined word “concept” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. idea B. organization C. review D. copy 30. Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars? A. To keep the cars away from crowded places. B. To prevent too much traffic during the rush hour. C. To help driving become more popular in other cities. D. To create a safe walking and cycling environment for people. 31. Which picture best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 【答案】29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍自行车对环保的意义、联合国相关决议及各国推广举措，倡导绿色出行。 【29题详解】 第二段说明：“It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport”，结合上下文，此处指将骑行视为重要交通方式的“理念”，“concept”意为“想法/理念”，与idea同义。 【30题详解】 第三段说明：“In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely”，目的是为人们创造安全的步行和骑行环境。 【31题详解】 通读全文可知，第①段引入话题并提出自行车的环保意义；第②③段分别阐述联合国决议与各国推广举措；第④段总结并倡导骑行，为“总—分—总”结构，即①为总起，②③为分述，④为总结。 C “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents,” grumbled (嘀咕) Jo, lying on the rug (地毯). “It’s so awful to be poor!” agreed Meg, looking down at her old dress. “It’s not right for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and others to have nothing at all,” added little Amy, with a sad sniff (轻哼). “We’ve got father and mother, and each other,” said Beth gently. The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, “We haven’t got father, and shall not have him for a long time.” She didn’t say “perhaps never”, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away at the war in the South. Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said, “Mother advised not having any presents this Christmas because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we shouldn’t spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering (受难) in the army. We can’t do much, but we can make our little effort. But I am afraid I don’t.” Meg shook her head thinking regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted. “But I don’t think the little we should spend would do any good,” said Jo. “We’ve each got a dollar, and that won’t help the army much. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you. Let’s each buy ourselves what we want, and have a little fun. We work hard to earn it.” “I do, teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I really want to enjoy myself at home,” complained Meg. “You don’t have half such a hard time as I do,” said Jo. “How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never happy, and worries you till you’re ready to fly out of the window or cry?” “It’s naughty to complain (抱怨); but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world. It makes me cross; and my hands get too stiff to practice my music at all”, Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear. “I don’t believe any of you suffer as I do,” cried Amy, “for you don’t have to go to school with rude girls who laugh at your lessons or your dresses and say bad words because your father isn’t rich.” 32. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Their father died when he was fighting with others. B. The passage is a story about three girls and a boy in a family. C. Their father is away at the war, leaving them at home with their mother. D. The four children in the passage all work and make their own money. 33. By saying “It makes me cross”, Beth means she is rather ________. A. happy B. excited C. interested D. angry 34. What do they think of their mother’s suggestion of not having any Christmas gifts? A. They all agreed to the suggestion of not having any Christmas gifts. B. They all agreed to save the money and buy a gift for each other. C. They thought that giving the money to the army was of much help. D. They thought that giving the money to the army was of little help. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《小妇人》，主要讲述了四个姐妹在讨论圣诞节，因为处在战争期间，她们的家庭比较贫穷，所以她们很伤心，没有圣诞礼物。但是她们仍坚持自己的梦想，最后决定用一美元去买自己想要的东西。 【32题详解】 根据第五段“She didn’t say ‘perhaps never’, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away at the war in the South.”可知，四姐妹的父亲在南方打仗，她们和妈妈在家。 【33题详解】 根据这句话的前一句“but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world.”可知，贝丝认为洗碗和保持整洁是世界上最糟糕的工作，她对这份工作很不满，所以划线句应该表达这份工作让她感到不愉快的意思，angry“生气的”符合语境。 【34题详解】 根据第七段“But I don’t think the little we should spend would do any good”“We’ve each got a dollar, and that won’t help the army much.”可知，乔认为，她们的那一点点钱对战争没有帮助，后面几段其他姐妹对她的看法表示了赞同，也就是说她们认为把钱给军队没有什么帮助。 D Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice Hanfu, traditional clothing that originated in ancient China. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2018. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in Hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity (身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like Hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 35. According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2018. A. 2,000,000 B. 500,000 C. 8,000,000 D. 600,000 36. Why does the 24-year-old college student Dafan like to wear Hanfu in her daily life? A. Because it is very modern to wear Hanfu. B. Because it is a symbol of Chinese culture. C. Because it is a good way to relax herself. D. Because she doesn’t want to look different. 37. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hanfu will die out soon because it’s too old. B. Hanfu will continue to be popular in the future. C. All the Chinese will wear Hanfu because it’s the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture. D. About 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019. 【答案】35. B 36. C 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了汉服在年轻人中流行的现象，分析了其受欢迎的原因，包括作为放松方式和文化认同载体。 【35题详解】 原文第二段提到“about 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2018”，计算可得2018年销量为200万÷4=50万，对应选项B。 【36题详解】 原文第三段Dafan提到“dressing in Hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life”，说明她把汉服当作放松、逃离现实烦恼的方式，对应选项C。选项B是另一位受访者Nanhe的观点，并非Dafan的理由。 【37题详解】 文章开头提到汉服越来越受年轻人欢迎，销量增长明显，结合年轻人对其文化价值的认同，可以推断汉服未来会继续流行，对应选项B。 四、信息还原（5%） Gifts are a way for people to show love. ____38____ The gift can be anything, your favourite CD, a book , clothes, delicious food and so on.

A. in a book B. in a school newspaper C. in a science magazine D. on its website B How do you go to school every day? Recently, a survey showed that only about 20% of the middle school students in Suzhou ride to school. In fact, a bicycle is not only a tool but also a weapon (武器) to fight against climate change. The United Nations General Assembly made a decision in 2022 to support bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. It calls on member states to use more bicycles. Many bicycle and environmental protection groups have supported the decision. “It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport,” said the European Cyclists’ Federation. After the decision was made, many countries have done a lot to increase the use of bicycles. In May 2023, bike sales in Spain increased 22-fold (22倍) compared with 2022. That means more and more people in Spain choose bikes as their travelling tools. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. And China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world, with more than 360 cities and nearly 20 million bicycles for about 47 million trips each day. It could surely be seen as a mark of China’s bike-sharing success. All in all, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to get around. Cycling instead of driving a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emissions (排放) from transport. If more people choose cycling, the world will be a greener one. 29. What does the underlined word “concept” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. idea B. organization C. review D. copy 30. Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars? A. To keep the cars away from crowded places. B. To prevent too much traffic during the rush hour. C. To help driving become more popular in other cities. D. To create a safe walking and cycling environment for people. 31. Which picture best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. C “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents,” grumbled (嘀咕) Jo, lying on the rug (地毯). “It’s so awful to be poor!” agreed Meg, looking down at her old dress. “It’s not right for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and others to have nothing at all,” added little Amy, with a sad sniff (轻哼). “We’ve got father and mother, and each other,” said Beth gently. The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, “We haven’t got father, and shall not have him for a long time.” She didn’t say “perhaps never”, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away at the war in the South. Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said, “Mother advised not having any presents this Christmas because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we shouldn’t spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering (受难) in the army. We can’t do much, but we can make our little effort. But I am afraid I don’t.” Meg shook her head thinking regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted. “But I don’t think the little we should spend would do any good,” said Jo. “We’ve each got a dollar, and that won’t help the army much. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you. Let’s each buy ourselves what we want, and have a little fun. We work hard to earn it.” “I do, teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I really want to enjoy myself at home,” complained Meg. “You don’t have half such a hard time as I do,” said Jo. “How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never happy, and worries you till you’re ready to fly out of the window or cry?” “It’s naughty to complain (抱怨); but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world. It makes me cross; and my hands get too stiff to practice my music at all”, Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear. “I don’t believe any of you suffer as I do,” cried Amy, “for you don’t have to go to school with rude girls who laugh at your lessons or your dresses and say bad words because your father isn’t rich.” 32. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Their father died when he was fighting with others. B. The passage is a story about three girls and a boy in a family. C. Their father is away at the war, leaving them at home with their mother. D. The four children in the passage all work and make their own money. 33. By saying “It makes me cross”, Beth means she is rather ________. A. happy B. excited C. interested D. angry 34. What do they think of their mother’s suggestion of not having any Christmas gifts? A. They all agreed to the suggestion of not having any Christmas gifts. B. They all agreed to save the money and buy a gift for each other. C. They thought that giving the money to the army was of much help. D. They thought that giving the money to the army was of little help. D Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice Hanfu, traditional clothing that originated in ancient China. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2018. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in Hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity (身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like Hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 35. According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2018. A. 2,000,000 B. 500,000 C. 8,000,000 D. 600,000 36. Why does the 24-year-old college student Dafan like to wear Hanfu in her daily life? A. Because it is very modern to wear Hanfu. B. Because it is a symbol of Chinese culture. C. Because it is a good way to relax herself. D. Because she doesn’t want to look different. 37. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hanfu will die out soon because it’s too old. B. Hanfu will continue to be popular in the future. C. All the Chinese will wear Hanfu because it’s the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture. D. About 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019. 四、信息还原（5%） Gifts are a way for people to show love. ____38____ The gift can be anything, your favourite CD, a book , clothes, delicious food and so on. Getting a gift can make you feel the love. A handmade gift is the best way to show your love. And on the day of making a gift, you can share that love with someone you care about. Make a Gift Day is on December 3. ____39____ The day is coming. If you don’t know what to buy, why not make a gift on this day? ____40____ There was a time, not all that long ago, when a handmade gift was the only kind of gift you could give. In the past, gift-givers would spend time making gifts for their friends. Whether it’s a simple handmade wallet, a new skirt, or a baby bed for a soon-to-be baby, everything is handmade with love.

We all remember the things we are ____44____ (interest) in and forget the ones that make us feel ____45____ (bore). This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results without ____46____ (difficult) but make a very great effort to remember dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and pay ____47____ (close) attention. One way to “make” yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more the better!
