1. Yancheng is ________ amazing city on the east coast of Jiangsu Province.
A. a B. the C. an D. /
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:盐城是江苏省东海岸一座令人惊叹的城市。
a一个(不定冠词,用于辅音音素前);the这个/那个(定冠词);an一个(不定冠词,用于元音音素前);/零冠词。根据题干“amazing city”可知,amazing以元音音素开头,且泛指“一座”城市,应填an。
2. It is a good idea to read ________ first when you write a short summary of a book.
A. reviews B. signs C. results D. sales
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:写一本书的简短摘要时,先阅读书评是个好主意。
reviews评论;signs标志;results结果;sales销售。句中“write a short summary of a book”的语境表明,提前阅读他人对书籍的评论有助于更好地撰写摘要,只有reviews符合逻辑。
3. Be careful when you are driving, ________ in a rainstorm like this.
A. differently B. closely C. especially D. clearly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:开车时要小心,尤其是在像这样的暴雨中。
differently不同地;closely紧密地;especially尤其;clearly清楚地。根据“in a rainstorm like this”可知,此处强调在暴雨这种特定情况下需要格外小心,表示特别强调,especially符合语境。
4. —Excuse me, can you post my passport to me?
—No problem. You’d better sign ________ when you receive it.
A. in fact B. in person C. in public D. in silence
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——打扰一下,你能把我的护照寄给我吗?——没问题。你收到时最好亲自签收。
in fact事实上;in person亲自;in public公开地;in silence沉默地。根据“sign”(签收)和“when you receive it” (当你收到它时) 可知,签收需要本人亲自进行,应填“in person”。
5. Drivers ________ avoid using their phones when driving.
A. must B. can C. shall D. may
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:司机开车时必须避免使用手机。
must必须;can能;shall将要;may可能。根据交通法规和安全常识,开车使用手机是危险且被禁止的,因此司机必须避免这样做,表示强烈的义务,must符合语境。
6. After working for hours, Judy was ________ to continue her work, so she took a rest.
A. too tired B. tired enough C. too energetic D. energetic enough
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:工作了几个小时后,朱迪太累了无法继续工作,所以她休息了一下。
too tired太累了 (表否定结果,后接to do);tired enough足够累了 (后接to do表示“足够……可以去做”)。根据“so she took a rest.” (所以她休息了一下。) 可知,因为太累了所以无法继续,“too...to...”表示“太……而不能……”应填“too tired”。
7. —Where is Lucy? I haven’t seen her for a week.
—She ________ Xi’an for a holiday with her family. They will come back next Friday.
A. has been to B. has gone to C. has been in D. has gone in
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——露西在哪里?我已经一个星期没见到她了。——她去了西安和家人度假。他们下周五回来。
has been to表示去过某地已回来;has gone to表示去了某地未回来;has been in表示在某地待了多久;has gone in为错误搭配。根据“Where is Lucy?”及“They will come back next Friday.”可知露西现在不在说话的地方,而是去了西安尚未返回,应填has gone to。C项has been in表示“在某地待了多久”,通常与一段时间连用,本句无明确时间段且强调去向而非停留时长,故排除。
8. —Why do you come here so late? The match ________ since half an hour ago.
—What a pity! No wonder all the players have left.
A. has ended B. has been on C. has started D. has been over
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你为什么这么晚才来?比赛半小时前就已经结束了。——真遗憾!难怪所有选手都离开了。
根据题干“since half an hour ago”为现在完成时标志且表示时间段,应用延续性动词的现在完成时;根据后句“all the players have left”可知,比赛已经结束,应填has been over。
9. —I want to use “Doubao” to make pictures, but I don’t know ________.
—Miss Wang knows AI tools well. Maybe she can help you.
A. what to use B. which to use
C. who to ask for help D. where to ask for help
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我想用“豆包”来制作图片,但我不知道向谁求助。——王老师很了解AI工具。也许她能帮你。
what to use使用什么;which to use使用哪一个;who to ask for help向谁寻求帮助;where to ask for help在哪里寻求帮助。根据答语“Miss Wang knows AI tools well. Maybe she can help you.”可知,答语推荐了王老师这个人来提供帮助,说明问句是在询问可以向谁寻求帮助,而不是询问使用什么工具或在哪里求助,应填who to ask for help。
10. We can enjoy the Mogao Grottoes art without leaving home by visiting the Digital Dunhuang website.
—________. But I prefer to see the artworks with my own eyes.
A. No problem B. With pleasure C. That’s all right D. I see your point
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们可以通过访问数字敦煌网站,足不出户就能欣赏莫高窟艺术。——我明白你的观点。但我更喜欢亲眼看看这些艺术品。
No problem常用于回应请求或表示不用担心;With pleasure常用于愉快地接受请求;That’s all right常用于回应道歉或感谢;I see your point表示理解或认可对方的观点。根据答句中的“But”可知,前后句意存在转折关系,说话人先表示对对方观点的理解或认可,再提出自己的不同偏好,应填I see your point。

【15题详解】
根据前文“the sand there can sing”以及后文“That’s why it’s called the Mingsha Mountain.”可知,此处是解释沙子发声的原因,即风吹沙子发出声音。选项E“The sand makes sounds when the wind blows.”符合语境,故选E。

(During World War II, ten-year-old Annemarie was helping her Jewish friend hide from German soldiers.Tonight she must walk through dark woods with a secret basket...)
That night, after her friend Ellen fell asleep, Annemarie tiptoed to the window and found the street empty. She lifted the heavy basket her mother had prepared, and quietly walked out and into the dark.
The path through the woods was rough to cross. Roots caught at her shoes, and branches scratched her arms. Suddenly, she heard a twig snap. Her heart was beating fast.
She remembered her uncle’s words: “When you are in fear, think of Little Red Riding Hood in the forest, and hold your basket tightly.” A soldier? An animal?
The basket grew heavier with each step. She thought of Ellen at the farmhouse, her sister Kirsti who thought it a game, her father in the city, and her mother who had hurt her ankle just hours before.
Suddenly, a soldier stepped onto the path and pointed the flashlight directly into her eyes.
“What are you doing here, little girl?” he asked with a thick German accent (口音).
Annemarie made her voice light and careless, like Kirsti’s. “I’m taking lunch to my uncle,” she said. “He’s a fisherman. The basket is very heavy.”
The soldier shone his light into the basket. Annemarie saw what he saw: bread, cheese, an apple—and hidden beneath (在……下面) them, the handkerchief that her mother had packed (塞进) with a strange, strong smell. She did not know what it was for, but she knew it was important.
The soldier wrinkled his nose at the smell. He stepped back and waved her on. “Go then,” he said. “And be quick about it.”
Annemarie walked past him, her legs shaking but her face still calm. She knew that inside the basket, beneath the food, was something that could save lives.
—Adapted from Number the Stars
32. What does the underlined word “rough” mean?
A. Safe. B. Busy. C. Wide. D. Difficult.
33. Who taught Annemarie to deal with fear bravely?
A. Her father. B. Her mother. C. Her uncle. D. Her sister.
34. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Annemarie thought of her family and friend.
b. The German soldier stepped back and let her go.
c. The German soldier shone his light into the basket.
d. Annemarie took the basket and walked into the dark.
A. a-c-b-d B. d-a-c-b C. d-b-a-c D. a-c-d-b
35. What can you infer (推断) from the story?
A. Annemarie took lunch to her mother that evening.
B. Annemarie’s mother’s ankle was hurt hours before.
C. The handkerchief was specially made to smell strange.
D. The German soldier felt sorry for her being alone at night.

【解析】
【导语】本文改编自《Number the Stars》,讲述了二战时期小女孩Annemarie为帮助犹太朋友,深夜携带秘密篮子穿越危险树林的故事。
【32题详解】
文中第二段提到“The path through the woods was rough to cross. Roots caught at her shoes, and branches scratched her arms.”,树根绊鞋、树枝刮伤手臂,说明这段路很难走,因此“rough”在这里的意思是“困难的”,对应选项D。
【33题详解】
文中第三段提到“She remembered her uncle’s words: ‘When you are in fear, think of Little Red Riding-Hood in the forest, and hold your basket tightly.’”,说明是她的叔叔教她如何勇敢面对恐惧。
【34题详解】
故事顺序为:d. Annemarie took the basket and walked into the dark.(拿起篮子走进黑暗)→ a. Annemarie thought of her family and friend.(想到家人和朋友)→ c. The German soldier shone his light into the basket.(士兵用手电筒照篮子)→ b. The German soldier stepped back and let her go.(士兵后退让她走) 对应选项B。
【35题详解】
A选项错误,她是去给舅舅送午饭;B选项是文中直接陈述的事实,不是推断;D选项错误,士兵是被奇怪的气味劝退,并非同情;C选项可由文中“the handkerchief that her mother had packed with a strange, strong smell”推断出,手帕是特意做了处理,气味很特别,以此掩盖其他物品。

“Mirror of the Sky”: Uyuni Salt Flat
The Uyuni Salt Flat (乌尤尼盐沼), resting in southwestern Bolivia, is known as the “Mirror (镜子) of the Sky”. ___36___ You can’t tell where the ground ends and where the sky begins. The amazing mirror effect doesn’t come out of thin air. Three important factors (要素) make it possible.
___37___ The ground of the Uyuni Salt Flat is one of the flattest on Earth. The salt flat was formed when ancient lakes dried up over time. When the water of these lakes evaporated (蒸发), a thick and flat layer (层) of salt was left behind. This made the ground almost perfectly flat. Therefore, when it rains, the water doesn’t collect in water holes. ___38___ This is what creates the huge natural mirror.
The rainfall is also very important. It can’t be a storm. Just enough rain to cover the layer of salt is perfect. If the rain is heavy, water holes will form and the mirror effect will be lost.
Besides, calm weather is needed for the clear mirror effect. ___39___ These waves will break up the clear reflection and take away the magical wonder.
People see the mirror effect during the rainy season, mainly from December to March. ___40___ When the water evaporates under the sun, the “mirror” is gone and the ground becomes hard, white salt again.
A. What is more, the effect doesn’t last long.
B. After the rain, this place looks like a mirror.
C. The first and most key factor is the flat ground.
D. Even a small wind can make waves on the water.
E. Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt.
F. It covers over 10,000 square kilometers and is the largest salt flat in the world.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了有“天空之镜”之称的乌尤尼盐沼,说明了它形成镜面效果的三个关键因素:平坦的地面、适量的降雨和无风的天气,以及镜面效果的季节性特点。
【36题详解】
第一段引出乌尤尼盐沼“天空之镜”的称号,空后描述天地难分的景观效果,选项B“After the rain, this place looks like a mirror.”承接上文,引出描述,符合语境。
【37题详解】
后文提到盐沼的地面是地球上最平坦的地方之一,选项C“The first and most key factor is the flat ground.”点明第一个关键因素是平坦的地面,引出后文对地面平坦原因的说明,逻辑通顺。
【38题详解】
前文提到盐沼地面几乎完全平坦,下雨时水不会积成水坑,选项E“Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt.”说明水会在盐层上形成一层平坦光滑的水膜,为后文形成镜面效果做铺垫,衔接顺畅。
【39题详解】
前文提到平静的天气对清晰的镜面效果很重要,后文说这些波纹会破坏清晰的反射,选项D“Even a small wind can make waves on the water.”说明即使微风也会在水面形成波纹,呼应后文对波纹影响的描述,逻辑合理。
【40题详解】

【导语】本文讲述商鞅立木取信的历史故事。
【51题详解】
句意:他安排了几名卫兵在城南门口守卫一根三丈长的木杆,并说“谁能把它搬到北门,就能得到金币。”此处需要名词复数,guard的复数形式为guards,表示“卫兵”,契合安排人员看守木杆的语境。
【52题详解】
句意:虽然这个任务看起来很简单,但人们认为这是一个骗局。although引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然、尽管”,契合“任务看似简单却无人相信”的转折语境,句首首字母大写。

【54题详解】
句意:令所有人惊讶的是,商鞅信守了诺言,立刻给了他金币。keep one’s word表示“信守承诺、言出必行”,句子为一般过去时,keep变为kept,主语是Shang Yang,用his代替one’s,契合商鞅兑现承诺的语境。
【55题详解】
句意:这个故事告诉我们,如果我们想赢得别人的心,守信是多么重要。how后接形容词或副词或how to + 动词原形,结合语境,此处用to behave的变形,how to behave properly表示“如何行事得体/守信”,契合故事传递的诚信主题语境,

(During World War II, ten-year-old Annemarie was helping her Jewish friend hide from German soldiers.Tonight she must walk through dark woods with a secret basket...)
That night, after her friend Ellen fell asleep, Annemarie tiptoed to the window and found the street empty. She lifted the heavy basket her mother had prepared, and quietly walked out and into the dark.
The path through the woods was rough to cross. Roots caught at her shoes, and branches scratched her arms. Suddenly, she heard a twig snap. Her heart was beating fast.
She remembered her uncle’s words: “When you are in fear, think of Little Red Riding Hood in the forest, and hold your basket tightly.” A soldier? An animal?
The basket grew heavier with each step. She thought of Ellen at the farmhouse, her sister Kirsti who thought it a game, her father in the city, and her mother who had hurt her ankle just hours before.
Suddenly, a soldier stepped onto the path and pointed the flashlight directly into her eyes.
“What are you doing here, little girl?” he asked with a thick German accent (口音).
Annemarie made her voice light and careless, like Kirsti’s. “I’m taking lunch to my uncle,” she said. “He’s a fisherman. The basket is very heavy.”
The soldier shone his light into the basket. Annemarie saw what he saw: bread, cheese, an apple—and hidden beneath (在……下面) them, the handkerchief that her mother had packed (塞进) with a strange, strong smell. She did not know what it was for, but she knew it was important.
The soldier wrinkled his nose at the smell. He stepped back and waved her on. “Go then,” he said. “And be quick about it.”
Annemarie walked past him, her legs shaking but her face still calm. She knew that inside the basket, beneath the food, was something that could save lives.
—Adapted from Number the Stars
32. What does the underlined word “rough” mean?
A. Safe. B. Busy. C. Wide. D. Difficult.
33. Who taught Annemarie to deal with fear bravely?
A. Her father. B. Her mother. C. Her uncle. D. Her sister.
34. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Annemarie thought of her family and friend.
b. The German soldier stepped back and let her go.
c. The German soldier shone his light into the basket.
d. Annemarie took the basket and walked into the dark.
A. a-c-b-d B. d-a-c-b C. d-b-a-c D. a-c-d-b
35. What can you infer (推断) from the story?
A. Annemarie took lunch to her mother that evening.
B. Annemarie’s mother’s ankle was hurt hours before.

“Mirror of the Sky”: Uyuni Salt Flat
The Uyuni Salt Flat (乌尤尼盐沼), resting in southwestern Bolivia, is known as the “Mirror (镜子) of the Sky”. ___36___ You can’t tell where the ground ends and where the sky begins. The amazing mirror effect doesn’t come out of thin air. Three important factors (要素) make it possible.
___37___ The ground of the Uyuni Salt Flat is one of the flattest on Earth. The salt flat was formed when ancient lakes dried up over time. When the water of these lakes evaporated (蒸发), a thick and flat layer (层) of salt was left behind. This made the ground almost perfectly flat. Therefore, when it rains, the water doesn’t collect in water holes. ___38___ This is what creates the huge natural mirror.
The rainfall is also very important. It can’t be a storm. Just enough rain to cover the layer of salt is perfect. If the rain is heavy, water holes will form and the mirror effect will be lost.
Besides, calm weather is needed for the clear mirror effect. ___39___ These waves will break up the clear reflection and take away the magical wonder.
People see the mirror effect during the rainy season, mainly from December to March. ___40___ When the water evaporates under the sun, the “mirror” is gone and the ground becomes hard, white salt again.
A. What is more, the effect doesn’t last long.
B. After the rain, this place looks like a mirror.
C. The first and most key factor is the flat ground.
D. Even a small wind can make waves on the water.
E. Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt.
F. It covers over 10,000 square kilometers and is the largest salt flat in the world.
