A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国的名山大川和湖泊。文章提到泰山、峨眉山、华山等名山，长江和黄河作为中国文化发源地，以及西湖的美丽传说和古代文人为其创作的诗歌。 【1题详解】 句意：中国有许多名胜古迹，其中一些是美丽的山川河流和湖泊。 There be句型遵循就近原则，后面主语many places of interest是复数，全文是一般现在时，be动词用are。 【2题详解】 句意：它们每年吸引着来自世界各地的一群游客。 “a group of”后接可数名词复数，用tourist的复数形式tourists。 【3题详解】 句意：许多山因山顶的美景而闻名。 be famous for为固定搭配，意为“因……而闻名”，符合“很多山因山顶的美景出名”的语境。 【4题详解】 句意：大多数人喜欢在泰山露营看日出。 此处动词不定式作目的状语，即去露营的目的是看日出，应用to watch。 【5题详解】 句意：长江是最长的，第二是黄河。 后文提到“第二长是黄河”，可知长江是中国最长的河流，用最高级the longest。 【6题详解】 句意：它们是中国文化的发源地，因为中国祖先就出生在这些地区。 前半句“它们是中国文化的发源地”，后半句“中国祖先出生在这些区域”，后半句解释前半句的原因，所以用表原因的连词because。 【7题详解】 句意：还有许多湖泊。 a number of意为“许多，大量”，修饰可数名词；the number of表示“……的数量”。此处指“有很多湖泊”，用不定冠词a。 【8题详解】 句意：在我眼中，浙江的西湖比其他任何地方都好得多。 “比较级+any other+可数名词单数”是固定结构，表示同一范围内“比任何其他……都……”，符合此处西湖和其他地点比较的语境。 【9题详解】 句意：它是如此美丽，以至于游客经常陶醉其中。 lose oneself in sth.为固定搭配，意为“陶醉于、沉浸于”，主语visitors是复数，对应反身代词themselves。 【10题详解】 句意：一些古人如白居易和苏东坡在过去为西湖写了许多著名的诗。 时间状语in the past说明动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，write的过去式是wrote。 第二节： 阅读下面短文，然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。 Many years ago, there was a Greek King named Midas. ____11____ he had the most gold in the world, he was not happy and wished to have more. One day, a fairy (仙女) came to his palace. “Your Majesty, since you are the ____12____ man in this world, what else can I do for you?” said the fairy. “I still expect to have more gold because it is the most wonderful thing in the world!” said the king. “Your wish will ____13____,” said the fairy. “From tomorrow morning, ____14____ Your Majesty touches will be changed into gold.” As soon as King Midas got up the next morning, he touched his bed with his finger. The king was pleased to find that the bed was ____15____ into gold. He then ran around his palace and began to touch other things he saw with ____16____. Just at this moment, his little daughter ran to him. The king hugged her and the little princess ____17____ became a gold statue (雕像). The king felt worried and shouted, “Fairy, ____18____ this terrible magic and give me back my little girl.” The fairy came at once. “Your Majesty, are you sure that you want the magic to go away?” asked the fairy. “Yes, yes!” the king cried in a loud voice. “I have learned my lesson! ____19____ isn’t the most valuable thing in the world. _____20_____, there are other things that are a lot more important to me.” 11. A. When B. Unless C. Although D. Because 12. A. tallest B. longest C. widest D. richest 13. A. come on B. come out C. come true D. come over 14. A. everything B. anything C. nothing D. something 15. A. got B. cut C. moved D. turned 16. A. peace B. anger C. sadness D. excitement 17. A. luckily B. suddenly C. usually D. recently 18. A. take up B. take away C. take in D. give away 19. A. Gold B. Love C. Force D. Friend 20. A. Quite B. Even C. Instead D. Again 【答案】11. C 12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 16. D 17. B 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述贪心的希腊国王迈达斯获得点金术后，女儿被变成金像，才醒悟黄金并非世上最珍贵之物的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：尽管他拥有全世界最多的黄金，但他并不快乐，还一直渴望拥有更多的黄金。 前后句是让步关系，应使用although引导让步状语从句；when表时间，unless表条件，because表原因，均不符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：“陛下，既然您是世界上最富有的人，我还能为您做些什么呢？”仙女说道。 第一段“he had the most gold in the world”提到他拥有最多黄金，应是最富有的人，richest“最富有的”符合文意。 【13题详解】 句意：“你的愿望将会实现。”仙女说。 第三段描述国王得到了更多金子，说明仙女要让他的愿望都实现，come true“实现”和“wish”搭配，符合语义；come on“加油”，come out“出版，流出”和come over“顺便拜访”均不符合。 【14题详解】 句意：从明天早上开始，陛下您碰到的所有东西都会变成金子。 点金术的设定是国王触碰的所有东西都会变成金子，everything“一切，所有事物”符合设定。 【15题详解】 句意：国王很高兴地发现，床已经变成了金子。 此处与第二段“...everything Your Majesty touches will be changed into gold.”对应，国王碰到的所有东西，包括床，都变成了金子，turn...into...是固定搭配，意为“把……变成……”，符合文意。 【16题详解】 句意：接着他跑遍王宫，兴奋地开始触碰他看到的其他东西。 第三段“The king was pleased to find that the bed was turned into gold.”提到国王看到床变成金子后非常高兴，刚实现愿望的他此时是兴奋的，excitement“兴奋”符合此时的情绪。 【17题详解】 句意：国王拥抱了她，小公主突然变成了一尊金像。 小公主变成金像是国王完全没有预料到的突发变化，suddenly“突然”符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：仙女，把这个可怕的魔法拿走，把我的小女儿还给我。 第三段“the little princess...became a gold statue”指出女儿意外变成金子，国王想要解除魔法，因此请求仙女把魔法带走移除，take away“拿走，带走”符合语义；take up“占据，开始做”，take in“吸收”和give away“赠送，泄露”均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：金子并不是世界上最有价值的东西。 整个故事围绕国王贪求金子展开，国王因为贪求金子失去女儿，因此领悟到金子本身不是最珍贵的，Gold“金子”符合故事主旨。 【20题详解】 句意：相反，还有其他对我来说重要得多的东西。 上文否定了“金子是最有价值的”，下文提出“其他东西对我更重要”，Instead表示“反而，取而代之”，符合逻辑衔接。 Ⅳ. 阅读理解 （共15小题，计20分） 第一节：阅读下面A、B、C三篇材料，从所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。（共10小题，计15分） A Materials ◇A wide glass jar with a lid ◇Very hot water ◇Some ice ◇A match Very important!

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了制作云的实验所需材料、步骤及实验结果。 【21题详解】 根据材料中“Very important! Only parents use matches!”可知，使用火柴时父母的帮助很重要。 【22题详解】 根据步骤描述： 第一步“Turn the lid upside down and fill it with ice.”对应图①； 第二步“Fill the jar about 1.5cm with very hot water.”对应图③； 第三步“Ask your parent to light a match... Hold the smoking stick inside.”对应图⑤； 第四步“Quickly put the lid with ice on the jar.”对应图②； 第五步“Let the cloud form for a few minutes...”对应图④。 所以正确顺序是①③⑤②④。 【23题详解】 本文围绕“制作云”的科学实验展开，这类内容通常出现在科学杂志中。 B ① Do you know what the world’s highest waterfall (瀑布) is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls are really very beautiful. But in terms of height, the most fantastic falls in the world are Angel Falls. They are deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela. ② Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the northern coast, it would take about four hours. ③ The fascinating falls are God’s gift to nature. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, he crashed his plane near the top of the falls. That’s how he found them. ④ Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometer (979 m) from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground it has already turned into fog. ⑤ If you have a chance to visit them, you’ll never forget them! 24. Why have few people ever seen Angel Falls? A. Because it is not easy to get there. B. Because the tickets are very expensive. C. Because there is no hotel or restaurant. D. Because visitors can only get there on foot. 25. Who found Angel Falls? A. A woman in Caracas. B. An American visitor. C. A pilot from Caracas. D. An American pilot. 26. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①②③④-⑤ B. ①-②③④⑤ C. ①-②③④-⑤ D. ①②-③-④⑤ 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界上最高的瀑布——安赫尔瀑布的地理位置、到达难度、发现历史以及瀑布的壮观景象。 【24题详解】 第二段指出原因：“It’s very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas... it would take about four hours.”说明到达安赫尔瀑布非常困难，因此很少有人见过它。 【25题详解】 第三段指出发现者：“They were named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, he crashed his plane near the top of the falls. That’s how he found them.”说明安赫尔瀑布是由一位美国飞行员发现的。 【26题详解】 分析文章结构：第①段引出话题，介绍安赫尔瀑布的基本定位，属于总起；第②-④段分别从通行难度、发现历史、瀑布特点三个方面具体介绍安赫尔瀑布，属于分述；第⑤段总结全文，因此结构为①-②③④-⑤。 C One night, when the moon was very bright, Rabbit was resting near a river. He was tired and wanted to go to sleep, but he was scared that the tiger was going to eat him up. Rabbit tried to stay awake. He looked up at the sky and started to count the stars. Soon Rabbit fell asleep. Suddenly, a loud voice woke him up. It was Tiger! “Aha! Now I’ve got you, little Rabbit! You’ll be perfect in my soup!” Rabbit was very scared, but he had an idea. He looked in the water and saw the reflection (倒影) of the moon. It looked like a big piece of cheese. He moved his mouth, acted like he was eating, and said, “Mmm, yum, yum, yum. Ah, Tiger. I’m happy to see you. Come and share the delicious white cheese with me. I’m keeping it fresh for you in the river.” Tiger loved white cheese. He licked his lips. “Mmm, yum. I can see the cheese, but how do you get it out of the river?” he asked. “Easy,” said Rabbit. “I tie (系) this stone around my foot and jump in. Do you want to try?” Tiger tied the stone around his foot and jumped into the river. Splash! Rabbit ran away, saying, “Ha! Ha! Now you’re the one in the soup!” 27. The story happened ________.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一只兔子在夜晚被老虎威胁时，急中生智，用月亮倒影骗老虎跳进河里，成功脱险的故事。 【27题详解】 第一段提到“One night, when the moon was very bright, Rabbit was resting near a river.”，明确说明故事发生在夜晚。 【28题详解】 第一段提到“Rabbit was resting near a river.”，对应a；第二段提到“It was Tiger! ‘Aha! Now I’ve got you, little Rabbit! You’ll be perfect in my soup!’”，对应c；第三段提到“Come and share the delicious white cheese with me. I’m keeping it fresh for you in the river.”，对应b；第六段提到“Tiger tied the stone around his foot and jumped into the river. Splash! Rabbit ran away”，对应d；因此顺序是a-c-b-d，对应选项C。 【29题详解】 第三段提到“Rabbit was very scared, but he had an idea.”，说明兔子想出了骗老虎的办法。 【30题详解】 全文核心是兔子用智慧摆脱老虎的威胁，突出了兔子的聪明，因此最佳标题为“A Smart Rabbit”。 第二节：（共5小题，计5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I heard a Chinese story that has helped me tell the good from the bad in my life. It was the story of The Old Frontiersman’s Lost Horse (《塞翁失马》). According to the story, an old man happened to lose his horse.

I like to play a game called “However” with people. G. Sometimes you have to give up. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. E 34. A 35. F 【解析】 【导语】作者通过《塞翁失马》的故事，讲述了祸福相依的道理，并结合自己的亲身经历分享了用“However”看待问题的生活方式。 【31题详解】 根据上下文，老人丢了马，别人来安慰他，而他以《塞翁失马》的经典态度回应，选项B“Why couldn’t this be something lucky?”（这为什么就不能是一件幸运的事呢？）既符合老人的乐观态度，也和后文他说的“Why couldn’t this be a good thing?”形成呼应。 【32题详解】 前文提到老人的儿子喜欢骑马，后文提到他摔断了腿，选项C“He fell off the horse and broke his leg one day.”是连接前后的关键情节，逻辑连贯。 【33题详解】 前文提到战争爆发，所有年轻人都要上战场，后文说儿子因为断腿免于参战，选项E“Many of them died.”解释了免于参战是一件幸事的原因，符合逻辑。 【34题详解】 前文提到作者回国后在一家小公司工作，后文用“But”转折，说因为这份工作他发现了杭州的美、交到了朋友，说明前文是这份工作的负面体验，选项A“There I had a really bad time.”符合语境。 【35题详解】 后文提到作者和别人玩一个用“However”来从坏事中找好的一面的游戏，选项F“I like to play a game called ‘However’ with people.”引出下文，逻辑通顺。 V. 完成句子：根据所给汉语意思，用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。（共5小题，计10分） 36. 中国是世界上最大的国家之一。 China is one of the ______________ countries in the world. 【答案】largest 【解析】 【详解】原句中“最大的”是关键词，表示“最大的”用largest，构成“one of the + 最高级 + 复数名词”结构。 37. 就我所知，他们星期六到。 ______________, they’re arriving on Saturday. 【答案】As far as I know##To my knowledge##So far as I know 【解析】 【详解】根据句意，空白处意为“就我所知”，可用as far as I know或to my knowledge或so far as I know表示。句子首字母大写。故填As far as I know/To my knowledge/So far as I know。 38. 他们一到北京，就爱上了这座城市。 The moment they arrived in Beijing, they ________ the city. 【答案】fell in love with 【解析】 【详解】原句中“爱上了”是关键词。“爱上”用fall in love with。“The moment”引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”，从句用一般过去时arrived，主句描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，fall的过去式为fell。 39. 让我们去远足，而不是待在家里，好吗？ Let’s go hiking ________ staying at home, shall we? 【答案】instead of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“而不是”是关键词，表示“而不是”的短语是instead of，后接动名词形式。 40. 这首歌听起来如此甜美，以至于让我想起我美好的童年。 The song sounds so sweet that it ________ me ________ my wonderful childhood. 【答案】 ①. reminds ②. of 【解析】 【详解】根据句意，空白处意为“让某人想起……”，可用remind...of...表示；根据“The song sounds so sweet”可知，句子是一般现在时；that引导的从句中主语it为第三人称单数，谓语动词也用第三人称单数。故填reminds；of。 Ⅵ. 短文填空：（共10小题，计10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确。（每个单词限用一次，每空限填一个单词。） one panda amaze they good be careful visitor protect come My hometown Chengdu is home of pandas.

With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem was written by Du Fu (712-770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful for nature. This poem is mainly about the good rain in spring. The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s (诗人) joy and love for the spring rain.
