A. to B. with C. from D. behind 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：雨下得很大。幸运的是，我的伞保护我不受雨淋。 to到，向；with具有，用；from从，免受；behind在……后面。根据空前的动词“protected”和空后的名词“the rain”可知，此处是固定搭配“protect…from…”，意为“保护……免受…… (伤害、影响等)”，符合伞保护人不受雨淋的语境逻辑。应填from。 2. The building is the second _________ in this city. A. tall B. taller C. tallest D. the tallest 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座大楼是这个城市中第二高的建筑。 根据“the second”可知，此处是“the+序数词+最高级+名词单数”的结构，表示“第几……”，空处用最高级形式，且最高级前面有“the second”修饰，不需要再用定冠词“the”，所以用“tallest”。 3. —Do you like to do scientific (科学的) _________? —Yes, I’m interested in science very much. A. tour B. research C. nature D. object 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你喜欢做科学研究吗？——是的，我对科学非常感兴趣。 tour旅游；research研究；nature自然；object物体。根据答语“Yes, I’m interested in science very much.”可知，此处指做科学研究，固定搭配“do scientific research”，意为“做科学研究”，research符合语境。 4. —It’s a great _________ for Teddy to get first place in the match. —I’m not surprised at all. He practiced very hard for the match. A. achievement B. government C. excitement D. environment 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——泰迪在比赛中获得第一名是一项伟大的成就。——我一点也不惊讶。他为比赛付出了巨大的努力。   achievement意为“成就”，符合获得第一名需要努力的语境；government“政府”，excitement“兴奋”，environment“环境”，均不符合语境。应填achievement。 5.

A. deep B. far C. long D. thick 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要让孩子们在河里游泳。我们不知道它有多深。可能有危险。 deep深的；far远的；long长的；thick厚的。根据“Don’t let the children swim”及“dangerous”可知，游泳安全首要考虑的是水深，deep符合语境。 6. —Where is your father? —He_______ Australia and he _______ Sydney for two weeks. A. has been to; has been in B. has gone to; has been in C. has been in; has been to D. has gone to; has been to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的父亲在哪里？——他去了澳大利亚，在悉尼待了两周了。 考查现在完成时。has been to曾经去过某地；has gone to已经去了某地；has been in待在某地。根据“Where is your father?”可知，爸爸还没有回来，所以第一空用has gone to；根据“he…Sydney for two weeks”可知，此处指“他在悉尼待了两周了”，故第二空填has been in。故选B。 7. Ben is a foreign teacher. So far, he _________ in Jiujiang for five years. A. was teaching B. taught C. will teach D. has taught 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：Ben是一名外教。到目前为止，他已经在九江教了五年了。   时间状语“So far”意为“到目前为止”，通常与现在完成时连用，表示动作从过去持续到现在，现在完成时的结构为have/has+过去分词，本句主语he为第三人称单数，助动词用has，后接teach的过去分词taught。应填has taught。 8. The soccer match was _________ exciting that everyone was cheering and jumping. A. very B. so C. too D. to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这场足球比赛是如此的激动人心，以至于每个人都在欢呼和跳跃。 very非常；so如此；too太；to到。固定句型“so + 形容词/副词 + that从句”表示“如此……以至于……”，在句中引导结果状语从句，so符合语境。 9. Our teacher often tells us _________ to the old politely. A. speak B. to speak C. speaking D. speak in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的老师经常告诉我们要有礼貌地和老人讲话。 根据“tells us”可知，此处是“tell sb. to do sth.”结构，表示“告诉某人做某事”，所以用动词不定式“to speak”作宾语补足语。 10. —________, or we’ll be late for the film. —Take your time. It’s only a five-minute walk from here to the cinema. A. Hurry up B. Stand up C. Cheer up D. Look up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——快点，否则我们看电影要迟到了。——不着急。从这里到电影院只要走五分钟。 考查动词短语。Hurry up快点；Stand up起立；Cheer up加油；Look up向上看，查阅。根据“or we’ll be late for the film”可知，快迟到了，所以催促快点，故选A。 Ⅵ.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 The desert is one of the hottest and driest places in the world.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了沙漠的特点，包括其极端的气温变化、生物生存的困难，以及人类活动对沙漠扩张的影响。 【11题详解】 句意：1917年，美国死亡谷的气温超过48摄氏度持续了一个多月。 下文提到“over 48℃”，这是描述温度的，因此temperature“温度”符合语境。weather“天气”、population“人口”、number“数量”均与温度无关。 【12题详解】 句意：然而，沙漠并不总是炎热的。 上文提到沙漠是世界上最热的地方之一，此处用however转折，说明沙漠并不总是炎热的，hot“炎热的”符合语境。windy“多风的”、cold“寒冷的”、cloudy“多云的”均与上文描述的沙漠特点不符。 【13题详解】 句意：没有多少动植物能在沙漠中生存，因为那里几乎不下雨。 上文提到沙漠是干燥的地方，因此动植物难以生存，hardly“几乎不”符合语境，表示沙漠很少下雨。often“经常”、usually“通常”、always“总是”均与沙漠干燥的特点不符。 【14题详解】 句意：骆驼可以在沙漠中生存，因为它们有大的脚可以在沙子上行走。 下文提到“to walk on the sand”，说明骆驼有适合在沙子上行走的器官，feet“脚”符合语境。hands“手”、knees“膝盖”、arms“胳膊”均与行走无关。 【15题详解】 句意：它们可以长时间不喝水生存。 下文提到“Sometimes they don’t drink anything for weeks”，说明骆驼可以长时间不喝水，water“水”符合语境。food“食物”、air“空气”、sunshine“阳光”均与下文提到的喝水无关。 【16题详解】 句意：有时它们几周不喝任何东西，尽管它们非常口渴！ 上文说几周不喝水，下文说非常口渴，存在转折关系，although“尽管”符合。when“当……时候”；because“因为”；since“自从”，均不符合逻辑关系。 【17题详解】 句意：沙漠的环境真的很恶劣，所以只有一些植物能在那里生存。 上文提到沙漠环境对生物生存的困难，此处用terrible“恶劣的”形容沙漠环境。typical“典型的”、happy“快乐的”、wrong“错误的”均与沙漠环境的特点不符。 【18题详解】 句意：例如，仙人掌不需要太多的水，它们可以在叶子里储存水。 上文提到仙人掌不需要太多水，此处说明它们如何在叶子里储存水，keep“储存”符合语境。make“制作”、take“带走”、bring“带来”均与储存水无关。 【19题详解】 句意：科学家认为主要原因之一是人们砍伐了太多的树。 下文提到树木对保持地球湿润和防止沙漠化的作用，此处说明人类活动对沙漠扩张的影响，cutting down“砍伐”符合语境。cutting up“切碎”、cutting out“裁剪”、cutting off“切断”均与砍伐树木无关。 【20题详解】 句意：树木阻止太阳使地球变得更干燥。 上文提到沙漠是干燥的地方，此处说明树木对防止地球变得更干燥的作用，drier“更干燥的”符合语境。wetter“更湿润的”、better“更好的”、colder“更冷的”均与防止沙漠化的语境不符。 B In our country every school has a library. I’m ____21____ you have read many books. You borrow them from the school library and keep them for ____22____. Maybe you ____23____ get books from your parents or friends ____24____.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了学生获取书籍的主要途径（从图书馆借阅、作为礼物获得、自己购买），并详细说明了书籍从写作到出版所经过的多个环节和许多人的辛勤工作，最后呼吁大家爱护书籍。 【21题详解】 句意：我确信你已经读过很多书。   根据语境，作者在说“你一定读过很多书”，表达一种肯定推测，sure“确信的”，符合语境。sorry“抱歉的”，thinking“思考的”，saying“说的”，均不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：你从学校图书馆借书并保留一段时间。   “一段时间”用some time，符合语境。some times“几次”，sometime“某个时候”，sometimes“有时”，均不符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：也许你也从父母或朋友那里得到书作为礼物。   肯定句中表示“也”，可用also或too，too用于句末，also用于句中，所以本句选also，符合题意。either用于否定句，neither表示“也不”，均不符合题意。 【24题详解】 句意：也许你也从父母或朋友那里得到书作为礼物。   结合句意可知，此处表示从父母或朋友那里得到书作为礼物。“作为礼物”可用as a present来表示，但此处空格前有“get books from your parents or friends”，前面的books用的复数，因此此处present也用复数形式，更符合语境和逻辑。 【25题详解】 句意：如果你喜欢读书而且想学得更多，你或许会去书店自己买些书。 此处空格前有want，want to do sth意为“想做某事”，want后接不定式to do，且“学得更多”用learn more。to learn more，符合题意。learning many more错误表达；to learn many more错误表达；learning more是动名词，不符合结构，均不符合题意。 【26题详解】 句意：你是否曾经想过如何出版一本书？   “Have you ever thought...”为常见句型，表示“你曾经想过……吗？”ever“曾经”，符合语境。just“刚刚”，already“已经”，even“甚至”，均不符合语境。 【27题详解】 句意：在书出版之前，不同的人必须检查它好几次。   书出版之前需要检查，用before“在……之前”，符合语境。though“虽然”，since“自从”，after“在……之后”，均不符合语境。 【28题详解】 句意：在某人读完一本书之后，这本书会被传到许多其他人手中。 根据句意，是指“某个人（比如作者或编辑）读完”之后，此处要泛指“某个人”，someone“某人”，符合语境。anyone“任何人”，everyone“每个人”，no one“没有人”，均不符合语境。 【29题详解】 句意：因为其中不能有任何错误。   根据空格后有“must not be”可知此处需要用there be句型，“there must not be any mistake”意为“一定不可以有任何错误”，there符合题意。that“那”；this“这个”；it“它”，均不能用于表示存在。 【30题详解】 句意：许多人都忙着制作它。   根据空格前的“are busy ”及短语“be busy doing sth.”表示“忙于做某事”，可知此处要填一个名词或动名词，结合句意，此处要表示“从事；制作”，所以working on符合题意。to work on动词不定式，形式不对；going on“继续”，形式对但意思不符合题意；to go on动词不定式，形式不对。 Ⅶ.补全对话（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hi, friends!

It’s more than 800 meters long.”可知，询问的是最长的河流。C项“What is the longest river here?”符合语境。 【34题详解】 根据答语“It’s in the southwest of our town.”可知，询问的是位置。D项“Where is it?”符合语境。 【35题详解】 根据答语“It’s about 3 kilometers.”可知，询问的是距离。G项“How far is it from here?”符合语境。 第一节（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分） 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A How do you spend your weekends?

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool,” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 39. We know that the word “cool” has had _________. A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 40. In the passage, the word “express” means “_________”. A. see B. show C. know D. feel 41.

The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with 【答案】39. C 40. B 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“cool”一词从最初表示“微冷”的温度含义，逐渐演变为表达兴趣、赞美等多种含义，并指出过度使用该词反映了词汇的匮乏，提醒人们注意语言的丰富性。 【39题详解】 第一段句子“the word has had many different meanings”指出，“cool”一词有许多不同的含义。 【40题详解】 第一段句子“Its old meaning is used to express a temperature”指出，“express”在此处意为“表达”，与“show”意思相近。 【41题详解】 第二段句子“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.”指出，当你对某事感兴趣时，可以说“It’s cool”。 【42题详解】 第四段句子“the story also shows a scarcity of words... it is quite important to keep some credibility”指出，作者通过例子说明过度使用“cool”会导致词汇匮乏，对此表示担忧。 C Country music is very old.

His father kept his promise and said the boy would become an excellent botanist (植物学家) in the future. Since then, the little boy became confident (自信的).

B “Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool,” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 39. We know that the word “cool” has had _________. A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 40. In the passage, the word “express” means “_________”. A. see B. show C. know D. feel 41. If you are _________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.” A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with 42. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with C Country music is very old. It came from the United States, Canada, Ireland and Great Britain. It is a mixture (混合物) of music from all of these places. In the west of America, cowboys had to take care of cattle (牛). They had to watch them all day and all night because the cattle were nervous and sometimes ran away. A cowboy’s life was lonely and dangerous. When he was alone in the desert with the cattle, he drank strong coffee to make himself clear-headed. He sang songs about the stars and the moon, about his family and his friends to make the cattle quiet. The cattle listened to the cowboy and went to sleep. They would not run away if he sang beautiful and peaceful songs. In the south of America, many people came from Ireland, Scotland and England. Other people came from France and Canada. They enjoyed their own kind of music. They used guitars, violins and other musical instruments, too. They also added instruments from their homes, like bottles and plates.
