1. —Anna, you look upset. What happened?

A. an B. a C. the
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——安娜,你看起来很沮丧。发生什么事了?——我妈妈生我的气,因为我没有告诉她真相。
英语中tell the truth 表示“说实话,讲真话”,truth前必须加定冠词the,因此应选C。
2. — How many students are in the classroom now?
— ________. All of them are in the gym.
A. Several B. None C. Each
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——现在教室里有多少名学生?——没有人。所有人都在体育馆。
Several几个;None没有一个;Each每个。结合“All of them are in the gym.”可知,所有人都去了体育馆,因此教室里面没有人,用None表示“没有一个”。
3. —Susan, is there going to be a meeting I need to attend next Tuesday? I’m not sure.
—Just relax. I’ll remind you ________ the time one day early.
A. with B. of C. about
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——苏珊,下周二有我需要参加的会议吗?我不确定。——别担心。我会提前一天提醒你时间。
with和……一起;of……的;about关于。固定短语remind sb. of sth.意为“提醒某人某事”。
4. — Sorry, I can’t help you. It is beyond my ________.
— Never mind. I’ll turn to Tom for help.
A. ability B. effort C. background
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——抱歉,我帮不了你。这超出了我的能力。——没关系。我会去找汤姆帮忙。
ability能力;effort努力;background背景。根据“Sorry, I can’t help you.”可知说话人无法提供帮助,固定搭配beyond one’s ability意为“超出某人的能力范围”,符合语境。
5. — With enough ________, he felt confident and gave a wonderful speech.
— Yes, he did a good job.
A. prevention B. preparation C. protection
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——有了充分的准备,他感到自信,并发表了精彩的演讲。——是的,他做得很好。
prevention预防;preparation准备;protection保护。结合“he felt confident and gave a wonderful speech”可知,感到自信是因为做了充分准备,应填preparation。
6. —Do you know how to ________ the reading speed?
—The more you read, the faster you’ll be.
A. satisfy B. invent C. increase
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你知道如何提高阅读速度吗?——你读得越多,读得就会越快。
satisfy满足;invent发明;increase增加,提高。答语“The more you read, the faster you’ll be.”提示,读得越多速度越快,因此询问的是如何提高阅读速度。应填increase。
7. — The ________ stop of the bus made me fall.
— That sounds bad. Are you all right?
A. sudden B. certain C. simple
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——公交车突然停下,我就摔倒了。——听起来很糟糕。你还好吗?
sudden突然的;certain确定的;simple简单的。结合“made me fall”可知,导致摔倒的原因是停车很突然,应用sudden。
8. — How was your weekend, Leo?
— Oh, I was as busy as a bee preparing for the science fair. I ________ had time to relax.
A. actually B. nearly C. hardly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Leo,你周末过得怎么样?——哦,我像蜜蜂一样忙碌地准备科学展览。我几乎没有时间放松。
actually实际上;nearly几乎;hardly几乎不。根据前句“I was as busy as a bee”可知非常忙碌,推测出几乎没有时间放松,hardly符合语境。
9. — Dinosaurs ________ on Earth millions of years ago, long before humans appeared.
— That’s true. They ruled the planet for a very long time!
A. exist B. existed C. were existing
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——恐龙数百万年前存在于地球上,远在人类出现之前。——没错。它们统治地球很长时间了!
根据时间状语“millions of years ago”可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。应填existed。
10. —How was the weather in Shanghai last night?
—It rained ________ than all of us thought. Many cars broke down on the road.
A. more heavy B. more heavily C. heavier
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——上海昨晚的天气怎么样?——雨下得比我们所有人想的都要大。许多车在路上抛锚了。
空格处修饰动词“rained”,应用副词heavily而非形容词heavy;根据“than”可知应用比较级,heavily为多音节副词,比较级前加more。
11. — Though energy cars are becoming cheaper, he still can’t afford ________ one.
— Mm, I know he is in poor economy condition now.
A. buying B. to buy C. buys
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——虽然电动汽车的价格越来越便宜,但他还是买不起一辆。——嗯,我知道他现在经济状况不好。
afford to do sth.是固定短语,意为“负担得起做某事”,所以用动词不定式。
12. —Excuse me, sir. You can’t walk your dog on the lawn. Look at the sign, “________ the grass.”
—Sorry, I didn’t see it.
A. Keep off B. Take away C. Fill up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——打扰了,先生。你不能在草坪上遛狗。看那个牌子,“请勿践踏草坪。”——对不起,我没看见。
Keep off远离,勿踏;Take away拿走;Fill up装满。根据“You can’t walk your dog on the lawn.”可知牌子上写的是请勿践踏草坪的标语,Keep off the grass可表达“不要进入草坪、不要践踏草坪”的含义。
13. — What ________ we do if our phones run out of power?
— Don’t worry. We can pay by scanning faces.
A. shall B. must C. need
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——如果我们的手机没电了,我们该怎么办?——别担心。我们可以通过刷脸支付。
shall将/应,常用于第一人称疑问句提出建议或征求意见;must必须;need需要。结合语境,说话人在假设手机没电的情况下,询问应该采取什么措施,用shall表示征求意见。
14. —Look! Mrs. Li is watering the flowers ________ singing songs.
—Yeah, how lovely she is.
A. when B. whether C. while
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看!李太太正在浇花,同时唱着歌。——是啊,她多么可爱啊。
when当……时候;whether是否;while当……时候,同时。根据“Mrs. Li is watering the flowers ... singing songs”可知,浇花和唱歌是两个同时进行的持续性动作,while常用于表示两个动作同时发生,且后接现在分词形式。故选C。
15. —If we spend too much time on the screens, our eyes ________ tired and dry.
—That’s right. So it’s necessary for us to do eye exercises every day.
A. will feel B. felt C. are feeling
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——如果我们在屏幕上花费太多时间,我们的眼睛将会感到疲劳和干涩。——没错。所以我们有必要每天做眼保健操。
根据“If we spend too much time on the screens”可知,这是if引导的条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,即从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时。从句中spend为现在时,故主句应用一般将来时结构will feel。

【27题详解】
黄洋的各项支出相加:14+20+55+40+36=165元。
【28题详解】
黄芳的支出为50+20+50+36+30=186元,计划预算余额应为200-186=14元。

It was a beautiful day with a clear, blue sky and the cool wind made my morning tea cool. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving. At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake.” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.

We felt lucky to be in the city Kashmir. After we knew the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.
I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors. We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake. And I felt terrible when I saw the tears of the people crying for those dead people.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者在地震发生时的经历,以及震后前往穆扎法拉巴德市参与志愿救援的感受。
【31题详解】
第一段提到“the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving”,说明地震发生时作者正在读书。
【32题详解】
第二段开头提到地震停止后,作者和家人没有危险,房子也完好,因此接下来几个小时没有发生什么严重的事情,D项符合语境。
【33题详解】
第一段提到地震发生后很快就停止了,作者跑去告诉父母时地震已停,说明地震持续时间很短。A、C、D三项文中未明确提及。
【34题详解】

When students graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is over. But continuing learning after finishing school can help you become a lifelong learner.
What can you get from being a lifelong learner? First, learning can be fun. It gives you something interesting to talk about. And it is good for your brain. Just as exercise makes your body stronger, your mind becomes sharper (更灵敏的) when you use it.
Moreover, being a lifelong learner can help you with your work or job. Knowledge in other areas can help you develop creative ideas in your present job. Also, becoming an expert (专家) in an area outside of your present job allows you to take a job in another field if you want to.
So how do you become a lifelong learner? First, you need to decide to keep on learning new things even when it isn’t easy. It may help if you find friends who will encourage your learning. Second, you can find time to learn during your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audio books are also helpful. You can listen to them while travelling or doing chores.
Third, it’s a good idea to find ways to use what you’ve learned. It can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances (家用电器) , try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about science, explain what you’re learning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!
36. According to the text, why is lifelong learning good for your brain?
A. Because it helps you get a new job.
B. Because it allows you to travel and do chores.
C. Because it helps you graduate from high school or college.
D. Because it makes your mind sharper, just like exercise makes your body stronger.
37. We can ________ by continuing to learn after finishing school.
①become sharper ②find learning fun
③have more creative ideas ④become an expert in our present job
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
38. How many ways of becoming lifelong learners are mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
39. What’s the structure of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
40. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. The importance of school education. B. The fun of learning new things.
C. We should be a lifelong learner. D. Schools can help us be a lifelong learner.

Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? These two personality labels are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called MBTI. An “I” person is shy and enjoys his or her own time and inner world while an “E” person is outgoing, talkative and likes to make friends.
Many people in China are interested in it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” They take the test to find out the answer.
It groups people into 16 types and explains why people make different decisions when they are in the same situation. For example, when asked how they spend weekends, “E” persons like to go to parties and make new friends; “I” persons are more likely to read at home and enjoy the time alone.
Using the MBTI result to identify (确认) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white. You may be shy now but become outgoing when you get older. Don’t label yourself!
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are generic (通用的) . They can be used to describe many people. So, don’t take it too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when you are meeting new friends. And that’s all for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person.
41. What can we know about MBTI from the text?
A. It should be taken seriously. B. It can describe a very small group of people.
C. It’s a popular personality test. D. It can’t be a fun icebreaker question.
42. Which one of the following characters is most likely an “I” person according to the text?
A. Nick is always ready to help others.
B. Joe likes sharing his everyday life with his friends.
C. Betty enjoys answering teachers’ questions in class.
D. Rose likes to stay at home and read her favourite books in her free time.
43. What does the underlined word “label” mean in Chinese?
A. 标签 B. 固化 C. 欺骗 D. 取笑
44. From the test we can know that ________.
A. MBTI can tell personality correctly B. MBTI can’t show something about ourselves
C. we can know someone only by MBTI D. we shouldn’t label ourselves by MBTI
45. What does the writer think of the MBTI text?
A. It’s just for fun. B. It can fully show who you are.
C. People should take it seriously. D. Everyone must take it to know themselves.
【答案】41. C 42. D 43. A 44. D 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了MBTI人格测试的基本概念、其中“I”与“E”型人格的区别,同时探讨了MBTI测试的局限性,并提醒人们不必过度依赖或认真看待测试结果。
【41题详解】
第一段指出:“They are part of a popular personality test called MBTI.”,这直接说明MBTI是一种流行的人格测试。
【42题详解】
第三段举例说明:“‘I’ persons are more likely to read at home and enjoy the time alone.”,由此可知,空闲时喜欢待在家里读喜欢的书的Rose,最可能是“I”型人格。
【43题详解】
第四段解释:“Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white.”,因此作者提醒“Don’t label yourself!”,这里的“label”在文中意为给人格贴标签。
【44题详解】
第四段明确提出观点:“Don’t label yourself!”,说明我们不应该用MBTI的结果给自己贴标签。
【45题详解】
最后一段总结:“And that’s all for fun.”,表明作者认为MBTI测试只是为了娱乐,不必当真。

V. 情景交际

51. A: ______________________________ how to improve listening?
B: Sure, you can listen and repeat the texts until you can learn by heart.
【答案】Could you tell me/Can you tell me
【解析】

52. A: ________________ do you prefer?
B: I prefer to pay by credit card.
【答案】Which way of payment
【解析】
【详解】根据答句“I prefer to pay by credit card.”,可知询问的是更喜欢哪种支付方式。which表示“哪一个/种” ,way of payment表示“支付方式”,所以用“Which way of payment”来提问符合语境。
53. A: ______________________________ join us at the party tomorrow?
B: I’d love to, but I have to attend the graduation ceremony.
【答案】Will you/Would you like to
【解析】

54. A: Why not take a taxi to the robot museum?
B: ______________________________. Or we will be late for it.
【答案】Good idea/Sounds good/OK/All right/Sure
【解析】
【详解】答句后半句表示不然我们会迟到,说明要赞同对方坐出租车的提议。因此,空处需要填入表示赞同、好的这类语句,Good idea/Sounds good/OK/All right/Sure等表达均符合语境。
55. A: The war in the Middle East caused hundreds of deaths. Many people became homeless.
B: ______________________________! It’s a disaster.
【答案】What a pity/That’s terrible
【解析】
【详解】前句讲述了中东战争造成伤亡、民众无家可归的悲惨现状,空处需要填入表达同情、惋惜的感叹语句,故“What a pity”或者“That’s terrible”两种表达均符合语境。

【答案】例文
Attention, please! Heavy storms hit our areas quite often. To keep safe on the way to and from school, here are some tips.
First, wear a raincoat instead of an umbrella because it’s safer in strong winds. Also, put on your non-slip shoes to avoid falling. Second, stay away from deep water. You can’t know how deep it is, and there may be holes. Most importantly, if the river water covers the road, never walk through it. Third, be more careful on the road. Drivers can’t see very well, so walk slowly and cross only when the traffic light turns green. If you get into trouble, ask an adult for help or call your teacher or parents right away.
Cherish life and pay more attention to safety. Let’s do it together.

When students graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is over. But continuing learning after finishing school can help you become a lifelong learner.
What can you get from being a lifelong learner? First, learning can be fun. It gives you something interesting to talk about. And it is good for your brain. Just as exercise makes your body stronger, your mind becomes sharper (更灵敏的) when you use it.
Moreover, being a lifelong learner can help you with your work or job. Knowledge in other areas can help you develop creative ideas in your present job. Also, becoming an expert (专家) in an area outside of your present job allows you to take a job in another field if you want to.
So how do you become a lifelong learner? First, you need to decide to keep on learning new things even when it isn’t easy. It may help if you find friends who will encourage your learning. Second, you can find time to learn during your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audio books are also helpful. You can listen to them while travelling or doing chores.
Third, it’s a good idea to find ways to use what you’ve learned. It can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances (家用电器) , try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about science, explain what you’re learning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!
36. According to the text, why is lifelong learning good for your brain?
A. Because it helps you get a new job.
B. Because it allows you to travel and do chores.
C. Because it helps you graduate from high school or college.
D. Because it makes your mind sharper, just like exercise makes your body stronger.
37. We can ________ by continuing to learn after finishing school.
①become sharper ②find learning fun
③have more creative ideas ④become an expert in our present job
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
38. How many ways of becoming lifelong learners are mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
39. What’s the structure of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
40. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. The importance of school education. B. The fun of learning new things.
C. We should be a lifelong learner. D. Schools can help us be a lifelong learner.
D
Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? These two personality labels are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called MBTI. An “I” person is shy and enjoys his or her own time and inner world while an “E” person is outgoing, talkative and likes to make friends.
Many people in China are interested in it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” They take the test to find out the answer.
It groups people into 16 types and explains why people make different decisions when they are in the same situation. For example, when asked how they spend weekends, “E” persons like to go to parties and make new friends; “I” persons are more likely to read at home and enjoy the time alone.
Using the MBTI result to identify (确认) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white. You may be shy now but become outgoing when you get older. Don’t label yourself!
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are generic (通用的) . They can be used to describe many people. So, don’t take it too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when you are meeting new friends. And that’s all for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person.
41. What can we know about MBTI from the text?
A. It should be taken seriously. B. It can describe a very small group of people.
C. It’s a popular personality test. D. It can’t be a fun icebreaker question.
42. Which one of the following characters is most likely an “I” person according to the text?
A. Nick is always ready to help others.
B. Joe likes sharing his everyday life with his friends.
C. Betty enjoys answering teachers’ questions in class.
D. Rose likes to stay at home and read her favourite books in her free time.
43. What does the underlined word “label” mean in Chinese?
A. 标签 B. 固化 C. 欺骗 D. 取笑
44. From the test we can know that ________.
A. MBTI can tell personality correctly B. MBTI can’t show something about ourselves
C. we can know someone only by MBTI D. we shouldn’t label ourselves by MBTI
45. What does the writer think of the MBTI text?
A. It’s just for fun. B. It can fully show who you are.
C. People should take it seriously. D. Everyone must take it to know themselves.
