Li Ming realized that sometimes, plans change. “Such creativity makes everything better!” he smiled.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了李明原本计划举办一场超级有趣的生日派对，却因下雨和朋友有事面临派对可能无法顺利进行的困境，后来在姐姐建议下举办视频派对，最终收获美好回忆的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：他期望举办一场超级有趣的生日派对。 expect to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“期望做某事”，所以这里应该用动词不定式形式，to have符合要求。 【2题详解】 句意：“这将是如此美好的一天，大家都会喜欢的！”他开心地喊道。 “such a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+that...” 是固定结构，表示“如此……的一个……以至于……”，这里“a great day”是名词短语，所以用such。so 通常用于“so+形容词/副词+that...”结构；too一般用于 “too...to...” 结构，均不符合此处语境。 【3题详解】 句意：一个朋友说：“雨下得太大了，我来不了。” 根据“The rain is so...”，此处需要形容词来描述雨的大小，heavy“大的”符合语境。heavily为副词形式，heavier为比较级形式，均不符合此处语境。 【4题详解】 句意：后来，另一个朋友道歉说：“我妈妈不让我离开家。” “other”表示“其他的”，后面常接复数名词；“another”表示“另一个”，常用于三者或三者以上的另一个；“others”是代词，相当于“other + 复数名词”。这里指另一个朋友，用“another”合适。 【5题详解】 句意：李明的心沉了下去，感到非常失望。 这里需要用副词completely来修饰形容词disappointed，表示“非常失望”。completed是complete的过去式和过去分词；complete是形容词，意为“完整的”，均不符合此处修饰形容词的语境。 【6题详解】 句意：让我们举办一个视频派对，这样你就不会孤单了！ so that引导目的状语从句，意为“以便，为了”，符合姐姐提议的目的。so单独使用表示因果；although表示让步“虽然”，逻辑不通。 【7题详解】 句意：他打开电脑，令他惊讶的是，他所有的朋友都出现在屏幕上！ to one’s surprise是固定短语，表示“令某人惊讶的是”，这里用名词surprise。surprised是形容词，意为“感到惊讶的”，通常修饰人；surprising也是形容词，意为“令人惊讶的”，通常修饰物，均不符合此处固定短语的用法。 【8题详解】 句意：他们没有待在拥挤的房子里，而是举办了一场精彩的在线派对。 instead of表示“代替，而不是”，符合这里没有选择待在房子里而是举办线上派对的语境。Rather than“而不是”后通常接动词原形或平行结构；More than“超过，不仅仅”，与语境不符。 【9题详解】 句意：你永远不知道——意外的事情可能会变成最好的回忆！ “might”表示“可能”，语气比较委婉，符合这里意外事情可能变成美好回忆的语境。“must”表示“一定，必须”；“should”表示“应该”，均不符合此处语义。 【10题详解】 句意：多么特别的生日啊！ “What a+形容词+可数名词单数!”是感叹句的一种结构，这里birthday是可数名词单数，所以用What a。How用于“How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语!”结构；What用于“What(+形容词)+复数名词/不可数名词+主语+谓语!”结构，均不符合此处感叹句的结构。 II.

In 1953, he was honored with the title “People’s Artist” by the Chinese government. ②Qi Baishi has left behind a large number of works that covered many subjects, including shrimps, crabs, and fish. These artworks have often been on display, attracting millions of art lovers. ③Qi’s works are not only about animals but also about flowers and vegetables. People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns. The dove is another common subject in Qi’s art during his later years, showing his wish for world peace. ④Whether they are landscapes, shrimps, flowers or people, Qi’s paintings are rich in expressions and details. At the beginning, he painted these by following ancient models. Later, he developed a personal style by using heavy ink, bright colors and energetic strokes (笔触) to give them an almost real-life feel, showing his love for nature and life. He used modern styles, but he painted in a traditional Chinese way. ⑤Qi kept fighting for higher goals, especially as he got older. The man still continued to work even in his 70s. Qi actively took on more social responsibilities. He said, “I love my hometown, my country and all the lives there. In recent years, I have realized that what I expect is world peace.” In 1956, he was awarded the International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council. ⑥In short, Qi Baishi has influenced a large number of people in China.

Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了齐白石从木匠到伟大艺术家的生平历程，介绍了他的艺术成就、作品特点、个人精神以及对中国文化的影响。 【28题详解】 第三段提到：“People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns.”，这说明人们喜欢齐白石的花卉和蔬菜画是因为这些作品让他们想起了家乡。 【29题详解】 第四段提到：“Later, he developed a personal style by using heavy ink, bright colors and energetic strokes (笔触) to give them an almost real-life feel, showing his love for nature and life.”，根据语境可知“them”指代的是齐白石的画。 【30题详解】 第四段提到：“Later, he developed a personal style by using heavy ink, bright colors and energetic strokes (笔触) to give them an almost real-life feel, showing his love for nature and life.”，从这里可以推断出齐白石是一个有创造力且热爱生活的人。 【31题详解】 从文中齐白石不断追求更高目标，即使70多岁仍继续工作，积极承担社会责任，希望世界和平等内容可以看出，他一生都在追求艺术，用艺术表达对生活、自然和世界的热爱，“Life is short, art is long.”（生命短暂，艺术永恒）最能体现他的精神。 【32题详解】 第一段总述齐白石从木匠到伟大艺术家的生平以及获得的荣誉；第二、三段介绍齐白石的作品；第四段介绍齐白石作品的风格特点；第五段介绍齐白石的精神追求；第六段总结齐白石对中国文化的影响以及他的精神对后人的鼓励。所以文章结构为①/②③/④/⑤/⑥。 C.

That’s because the fruit smells. And that is why some people ____33____ it. But Vincent Gomes from the University of Sydney doesn’t think so. Gomes is not a food lover, but he’s now very interested in durian. The researcher said the fruit could one day completely change our ____34____. In Gomes’ eyes, durian is more than just a fruit. He and his colleagues have ____35____ something amazing about it. They found that durian is a natural super-capacitor (超级电容器). Super-capacitors, just like batteries, are used to store ____36____. However, they hold a few advantages over the batteries we use today. They can store a much larger amount of electricity. They can be recharged much more quickly. And most ____37____, they have a much longer life. The lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries in our smartphones depend on chemicals to produce electricity. When the chemicals are used up, the batteries become harmful waste. This has caused serious pollution problems. Scientists have been trying to develop better batteries for years. Although super-capacitors have many advantages, they are not yet widely used. The traditional methods used to make them are ____38____ while durian is quite cheap. It has given scientists hope. Gomes and his colleagues have found a way to turn durian cores (果核) into super-capacitors. But they still have many technical problems to ____39____. Perhaps by the end of this decade, durian batteries will have hit the market. Let’s just hope they won’t smell too bad—we’ll need to use them in many ____40____, from our cars to our phones! 33.

A. dishes B. places C. projects D. ways 【答案】33. A 34. D 35. C 36. A 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了榴莲虽然气味难闻，但悉尼大学的研究员Vincent Gomes及其团队发现榴莲是天然超级电容器，有望改变世界，他们找到了将榴莲果核变成超级电容器的方法，不过仍面临许多技术问题有待解决，也许未来榴莲电池会进入市场。 【33题详解】 句意：这就是为什么有些人不喜欢它。 上文提到“the fruit smells”，说明榴莲气味不好，所以有些人不喜欢它，dislike“不喜欢”符合语境。love“喜爱”、need“需要”、study“学习”均不符合。 【34题详解】 句意：这位研究员说，这种水果有一天可能会彻底改变我们的世界。 下文提到榴莲有望成为超级电容器，这可能会对世界产生重大影响，change our world“改变我们的世界”符合逻辑。appearance“外貌”、work“工作”、past“过去”均不符合文意。 【35题详解】 句意：他和他的同事们发现了关于它的一些惊人的事情。 根据后文“They found that durian is a natural super-capacitor”可知他们发现了榴莲是天然超级电容器这一惊人事情，discovered“发现”符合。broken“打破”、created“创造”、heard“听到”均不合适。 【36题详解】 句意：超级电容器和电池一样，用于储存能量。 电池和超级电容器的作用是储存能量，energy“能量”符合。food“食物”、information“信息”、wealth“财富”均与超级电容器和电池的功能不符。 【37题详解】 句意：最重要的是，它们的寿命要长得多。 前文列举了超级电容器相对于电池的多个优势，这里用“最重要的是”来强调寿命长这一优势，most importantly“最重要的是”符合。recently“最近”、interestingly“有趣地”、terribly“非常，很”均不符合语境。 【38题详解】 句意：制作它们的传统方法很昂贵，而榴莲却相当便宜。 根据“while durian is quite cheap”可知这里是将制作超级电容器的传统方法和榴莲的价格进行对比，传统方法昂贵，expensive“昂贵的”符合。dangerous“危险的”、inconvenient“不方便的”、untidy“不整洁的”均与价格无关。 【39题详解】 句意：但他们仍有许多技术问题要解决。 前面说找到了将榴莲果核变成超级电容器的方法，这里用but转折，说明还有技术问题要解决，solve“解决”符合。admit“承认”、forget“忘记”、report“报道”均不符合语境。 【40题详解】 句意：但愿它们闻起来不会太难闻——我们需要在很多地方使用它们，从汽车到手机！ 从“from our cars to our phones”可知是在很多地方使用，places“地方”符合。dishes“菜肴”、projects“项目”、ways“方法”均不符合。 D. Read the passage and complete the tasks.（根据短文内容完成任务）（第61至64题，每题1分，第65题2分，第66题4分）（10分） Is it possible to live without money? Everyone knows that money is important. We use it every day to buy food, clothes, and other things we need. But can a person live without it? Mark Boyle, a writer from Ireland, wanted to find out the answer. So, he decided to live without money for a time. Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free. Since he couldn’t pay for electricity, he had to live without it. He used a wood-burning stove (火炉) to keep warm, made from parts he found in a rubbish bin. Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter. At first, he didn’t like the idea. But later, he enjoyed cooking outside, saying it helped him feel more connected to nature. Before starting, he bought solar panels to power a small light, his laptop and a phone—but only to receive calls. In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully. Food was his main concern (担忧) at first, but he managed by growing vegetables and collecting wild mushrooms, nuts and berries. To keep clean, Mark built an outdoor toilet and used newspaper. He washed in a river or with a solar shower, but he didn’t use soap. He brushed his teeth with wild seeds. Life without money took time and effort—washing clothes by hand and finding food daily, but Mark said, “We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.” Task1: Answer the questions. 41. What did Mark Boyle decide to do? ________________________________________ 42. Where did he live during his life without money? ________________________________________ 43. Without electricity, how did he cook his food safely? ________________________________________ 44. Why did Mark need to plan his online time carefully in winter? ________________________________________ 45. What does the underlined sentence mean? ________________________________________ Task 2: 46. If Mark continues to live like this for a long time, what will his life be like? Write in about 30 words. (写30个词左右。) ________________________________________ 【答案】41. He decided to live without money for a time. 42. He lived in an old caravan on a farm near Bristol. 43. He built a simple stove using old olive oil cans and cooked outdoors. 44. Because in winter, there was little sunlight, so the solar panels couldn’t provide enough power for his online activities. 45. It means that people usually spend a lot of time on earning and spending money, while Mark prefers to spend time on actually living. 46. His life will be simple and close to nature. He’ll keep growing food, using natural resources, and spending more time enjoying life rather than chasing money. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了来自爱尔兰的作家Mark Boyle想要探寻不使用金钱是否能生活下去，于是他决定在一段时间内不使用金钱生活，详细介绍了他在不使用金钱情况下的生活状况以及他的感悟。 【41题详解】 第一段明确提到“So, he decided to live without money for a time.”，所以答案是原文直接信息。 【42题详解】 第二段指出“Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free.”，说明他住在布里斯托尔附近农场的一个旧旅行拖车里，这是原文中的具体表述，直接提取。 【43题详解】 第三段表明“Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter.”，即他用旧橄榄油罐做了一个简易炉灶并在户外做饭，这是原文直接信息。 【44题详解】 第四段提到“In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully.”，结合前文他靠太阳能板供电，可知冬天阳光少，太阳能板无法为他的上网活动提供足够电力，所以答案是基于原文信息的合理推导。 【45题详解】 最后一段“We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.”意思是人们通常花大量时间在赚钱和花钱上，而Mark更愿意花时间真正地生活，这是对句子含义的准确理解。 【46题详解】 开放题，答案不唯一。需结合文中Mark不使用金钱时的生活情况，如自己种植食物、利用自然资源等，合理推测他长期这样生活的样子并给出合理描述即可。 II.

Everyone knows that money is important. We use it every day to buy food, clothes, and other things we need. But can a person live without it? Mark Boyle, a writer from Ireland, wanted to find out the answer. So, he decided to live without money for a time. Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free. Since he couldn’t pay for electricity, he had to live without it. He used a wood-burning stove (火炉) to keep warm, made from parts he found in a rubbish bin. Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter. At first, he didn’t like the idea. But later, he enjoyed cooking outside, saying it helped him feel more connected to nature. Before starting, he bought solar panels to power a small light, his laptop and a phone—but only to receive calls. In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully. Food was his main concern (担忧) at first, but he managed by growing vegetables and collecting wild mushrooms, nuts and berries. To keep clean, Mark built an outdoor toilet and used newspaper. He washed in a river or with a solar shower, but he didn’t use soap. He brushed his teeth with wild seeds. Life without money took time and effort—washing clothes by hand and finding food daily, but Mark said, “We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.” Task1: Answer the questions. 41. What did Mark Boyle decide to do? ________________________________________ 42. Where did he live during his life without money? ________________________________________ 43. Without electricity, how did he cook his food safely? ________________________________________ 44.
