A. pioneer B. reporter C. worker D. publisher 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们钦佩钱学森，因为他是中国空间技术项目的先驱。 pioneer先驱；reporter记者；worker工人；publisher出版商。根据“We admire Qian Xuesen”及常识可知，钱学森是中国航天事业的开拓者。 2. Now many libraries provide a large number of ________ resources (资源) for people to search for online. A. digital B. basic C. clean D. quick 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在许多图书馆提供大量的数字资源供人们在线搜索。 digital数字的；basic基本的；clean干净的；quick快速的。句中“resources (资源) for people to search for online.”，在线搜索的资源通常是数字化的，digital符合语境。 3. Shenzhen ________ a fishing village, but now it is a top high-tech city. A. used to B. was used to be C. used to be D. used to being 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：深圳过去是一个渔村，但现在它是一个顶尖的高科技城市。 根据后半句“but now it is…”可知，此处强调过去与现在的对比，应用used to be“过去是”，后接动词原形。A项缺少系动词；B项结构错误；D项to后接了动名词。 4. —Why do you come here so late? The concert ________ since half an hour ago. —What a pity! No wonder all the singers 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？这场音乐会半小时前就已经结束了。——真遗憾！难怪所有的歌手都离开了。 考查动词辨析及延续性动词。has ended已经结束；has been on已进行；has started已开始；has been over已结束。根据“since half an hour ago”可知，此处应使用现在完成时且需要延续性动词，排除AC；根据“No wonder all the singers have left.”可知，歌手都走了，所以音乐会结束了。故选D。 5. Lucy has difficulty ________ English because her vocabulary is small. A. speaking B. speak C. to speak D. speaks 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：露西讲英语有困难，因为她的词汇量很小。 固定搭配have difficulty (in) doing sth意为“做某事有困难”，介词in可省略，后接动名词形式。 6. —Tom is modest and open to advice. —But his brother likes to ________ his own abilities. A. put off B. take off C. show off D. turn off 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆谦虚且乐于接受建议。——但是他的哥哥喜欢炫耀自己的能力。 put off推迟；take off起飞；show off炫耀；turn off关掉。句中“But”表示前后句意转折，前句说Tom谦虚，推测出他的哥哥喜欢“炫耀”自己的能力，应填show off。 7. Simon is good at playing the piano ________ singing. He often takes part in art activities. A. as well as B. as soon as C. as long as D. as far as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：西蒙擅长弹钢琴以及唱歌。他经常参加艺术活动。 as well as除……之外（还），也，以及；as soon as一……就……；as long as只要；as far as就……而言，远至。根据后文“他经常参加艺术活动”可知，他既擅长弹钢琴也擅长唱歌，两者是并列关系，故选用as well as。 8. Sally had few close friends. So she didn’t know ________ about her trouble. A. who to talk to B. who to talk C. who to say D. what to talk 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：萨莉几乎没有亲密的朋友。所以她不知道该向谁倾诉她的烦恼。 who to talk to该跟谁交谈；who to talk错误 (talk为不及物动词，后面需加to才能带宾语)；who to say该跟谁说 (say通常不用于“向某人说”的结构，say to sb.可以但不如talk自然)；what to talk该谈论什么。固定结构“疑问词+不定式”作宾语，根据句中她几乎没有亲密的朋友，所以应该是不知道和谁说她的烦恼，talk to sb.表示“跟某人交谈”，to不能省略，应填who to talk to。 9. —Must I go to college and be a doctor like you when I grow up, Dad? —No, you ________, son. You’re free to decide your own future. A. must not B. can’t C. shouldn’t D. don’t have to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，我长大后必须上大学并像你一样当一名医生吗？——不，你不必，儿子。你可以自由决定自己的未来。 must not禁止；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；don’t have to不必。以“Must”开头的一般疑问句，否定回答用needn’t或don’t have to，表示“不必”，应填don’t have to。 10. —We’d better leave an hour earlier tomorrow morning, because the traffic will be really bad during rush hour. —________. Let’s set the alarm (闹钟) for 6:30 then. A. That’s impossible B. It’s up to you C. I don’t care D. I see your point 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们明天早上最好提前一小时出发，因为高峰期的交通会非常拥堵。——我明白你的意思。那我们把闹钟定在6:30吧。 That’s impossible那不可能；It’s up to you由你决定；I don’t care我不在乎；I see your point我明白你的意思。答句“Let’s set the alarm for 6:30 then.”表示同意对方的提议，I see your point表示理解并认同对方的说法，符合语境。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For some students, school is a fun place.

Things turned better but there was a problem. She had to talk with the”，因此此处是和医生谈话，doctor符合上下文逻辑。 【20题详解】 句意：令人惊奇的是，每次她回来，都能看到书桌上的笔记。 本文是一般过去时，此处表示“能够”，could符合语法和语境。 【21题详解】 句意：几周后，当她焦虑的时候，她能够对自己说：“放轻松，Becky，放松就好。” 后文“Take it easy, Becky.”说明这句话是Becky对自己说的，Becky是女生，herself符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：几周后，当她焦虑的时候，她能够对自己说：“放轻松，Becky，放松就好。” 前文“Take it easy”就是放轻松的意思，此处对应relax，符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意当她取得一点进步时，她学会给自己送礼物，比如一束花。 后文举例“ such as a bunch of flowers”，这属于给自己的奖励礼物，gift符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：她告诉自己，如果学会积极面对，没有什么是糟糕的。 句中“if she learnt to face it positively.”，此处表达积极心态，只要积极面对就没有坏事，nothing符合逻辑。 【25题详解】 句意：在Becky积极的态度下，她终于发现学校真的是一个很好的地方。 经过调整后，她重新感受到校园的美好，really符合她真实的感受，符合语境。 四、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A Are you positive or negative about your life?

And what would you do to protect it? Huang Yongfu gave us his perfect answer. Huang and his wife lived in a small village. The village was far from the town, and most houses there were built decades ago, with grey walls and few decorations. Local people never paid much attention to those old walls. After he retired (退休) in the 1970s, Huang had plenty of free time. He started painting lovely animals, beautiful flowers and even interesting village stories on the walls of his house just for fun. The once lifeless walls soon became the most eye-catching spot in the whole village. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses too. His paintbrush brought a second “life” to those dull old houses. In 1998, the village was going to be pulled down, because most villagers had moved away. To save his hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in the whole village with bright, lovely colors. In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were amazed by Huang’s cute and lively artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” project. It was a big success, and the village soon became an art park. Huang himself became famous as “Grandpa Rainbow”. Now, Rainbow Village has become a well-known tourist attraction. It welcomes over one million visitors every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true—he saved his beloved village. Although Grandpa Rainbow passed away on January 23, 2024, people will remember him and his warm story forever. 35. Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the passage? A. To find the answers. B. To surprise the readers. C. To lead into the story. D. To show the writer's idea. 36. What do we know about Huang after he stopped working? A. He lived a colorful life. B. He showed his singing talent. C. He helped neighbors build houses. D. He brought animals into the village. 37. The underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. clean B. bright C. boring D. small 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Huang painted the village to make money at first. B. The “Save Rainbow Village” project was started by university students. C. Rainbow Village now receives less than a million visitors every year. D. Huang refused to paint for his neighbors at the beginning. 39. What was Huang Yongfu’s final dream that came true? A. To become a world-famous painter. B. To build an art park for his village. C. To save his village from being pulled down. D. To teach students how to paint. 【答案】35. C 36. A 37. C 38. B 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了黄永福老人退休后在村庄墙壁上作画，最终通过“彩虹村”项目保住了即将被拆除的家乡的故事。 【35题详解】 文章开头用两个问题引出话题，吸引读者兴趣并自然过渡到黄永福的故事，因此作用是“To lead into the story.”（为了引出故事）。 【36题详解】 根据第二段，黄永福退休后开始在墙上画动物、花朵和村庄故事，让原本无生气的墙壁变得引人注目，说明他过着丰富多彩的生活。 【37题详解】 “dull”所在句子“to those dull old houses”与上文“the once lifeless walls”对应，且下文提到他给墙壁涂上明亮可爱的颜色，因此dull意为“boring”（乏味的）。 【38题详解】 根据第四段“These students then started the ‘Save Rainbow Village’ project.”可知，“拯救彩虹村”项目是由大学生发起的。 【39题详解】 根据第三段“the village was going to be pulled down...To save his hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village.”可知，黄永福最终的梦想是拯救村庄不被拆除。 D In a recent discovery, archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty. The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls, roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture. What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area. Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty shaped early China. With each new find, they’re piecing together the story of ancient China. 40. Which of the following words can we use to describe the Baliqiao ruins? ①Old. ②Cool. ③Simple. ④Important. A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ③④ 41. How does the writer show that the Baliqiao ruins are large? A. By telling stories. B. By using numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By showing pictures. 42. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The Baliqiao ruins. B. The Erlitou ruins. C. The culture of the Baliqiao ruins. D. The connection to the Erlitou ruins. 43. Why did the writer write the passage? A. To show an important discovery. B. To make an amazing connection. C. To introduce an interesting city in China. D. To remember an ancient period in history. 【答案】40. B 41. B 42. B 43. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了考古学家在河南八里桥发现的距今约3700年的夏朝古城遗址这一重要考古发现，介绍了遗址的规模、出土遗存、它与二里头遗址的联系，以及该发现对研究夏朝历史的重要意义。 【40题详解】 第一段“These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old...This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty.”，遗址符合“Old”和“Important”的描述，因此①④正确。 【41题详解】 第二段“The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022.”，作者通过列举具体数字说明遗址规模大。 【42题详解】 第三段“What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China.”，本句中非限制性定语从句就近修饰前文核心名词the Erlitou ruins，即二里头遗址，因此which指代二里头遗址。 【43题详解】 开篇点明主题“In a recent discovery, archaeologists found the ruins of an important ancient city!”，全文围绕这一重要考古发现展开介绍，因此作者的写作目的是展示这一重要发现。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons. ____44____ You can always keep yourself pleased if you like reading.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述的是读书的好处。读书是一个很好的爱好，读书非常有趣，可以让你度过美好的时光。而且读书可以不受地点的限制，你可以在任何地方读书。读书会提高你的理解能力，而理解能力的提高也有助于你的其他功课的提高。好的读者也很有可能成为好的作家。 【44题详解】 第一句“Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.”以及后一句“You can always keep yourself pleased if you like reading.”，说明此处是在讲述读书的原因之一——读书是一种乐趣。C项“First, reading books is fun.”符合题意。 【45题详解】 前一句“Next, you can read a book almost anywhere: in a car, in a waiting room, on a plane, in bed and even in the bath.”以及“Reading is a convenient hobby”，说明读书很方便，B项“All you need is a book!”正好对应了“随时随地可读书”的特点，符合语境。 【46题详解】 后一句“If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it.”，此处是在讲述读书的原因之一——读书是有用的。F项“Another good reason is that reading is useful.”契合段落主旨。 【47题详解】 前一句“Some people say that reading is out of date ”以及后一句“You have to be able to read to use a computer, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.”，作者认为读书并不过时。A项“This is not true.”直接反驳错误观点，自然衔接下文论证，符合语境，故选A。 【48题详解】 后一句“They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about.”，作者在此处是在陈述读书与写作之间的关系。G项“Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too.”很好地对应这一逻辑，衔接下文，符合语境。 五、根据句意及所给中文提示、英文解释与首字母写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 49.

Our minds will not be ________ (空的) if we keep reading every day. 【答案】empty 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果我们每天坚持阅读，我们的头脑就不会空虚。本句为主系表结构，主语是Our mind，will not be是系动词部分，空格处需要形容词作表语，中文提示“空的”，对应英文形容词为empty，符合语法和语义要求。故填empty。 51. It is a wise ________ (选择) for everyone to read books every day. 【答案】choice 【解析】 【详解】句意：对每个人来说，每天读书都是一个明智的选择。句中“a wise...”提示空格处需填入可数名词单数形式，作表语，中文提示“选择”，对应的名词形式为choice。 52. I have been a deep ________ (爱好者) of reading for two years. 【答案】lover 【解析】 【详解】句意：两年前起，我就成了阅读的深度爱好者。此处“a deep”后需接可数名词单数，“爱好者”对应的英文名词是“lover”，符合“a+形容词+可数名词单数”的语法结构要求。 53. From books, I know that a cow has four ________ (胃). 【答案】stomachs 【解析】 【详解】句意：从书中我了解到，一头奶牛有四个胃。此处“four”后需接可数名词复数形式，“胃”对应的英文名词复数是“stomachs”，符合“数词+可数名词复数”的语法结构要求。 54.

Members of the Reading Club in our school meet t________ a week, on Tuesday and Friday. 【答案】twice##wice 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们学校读书俱乐部的成员每周碰面两次，在周二和周五碰面。句中“a week, on Tuesday and Friday”说明此处需要表达“一周两次”的含义，首字母提示和语境分析，可知对应单词为twice。 56. It is very ________ (not special) to see students talk about books with each other in the club. 【答案】common 【解析】 【详解】句意：在俱乐部里看到学生们互相讨论书籍是非常平常的事。英文释义“not special”意为“寻常的，普通的”，对应单词“common”，在句中作表语。故填common。 57. I don’t know w________ my friend Bill will come to the club or not this Friday because he is ill. 【答案】whether##hether 【解析】 【详解】句意：我不知道我的朋友比尔这周五是否会来俱乐部，因为他生病了。“whether...or not”是固定搭配，结合首字母“w”，“whether”符合这一短语的语法结构要求。 58. The doctor ________ (to tell somebody what you think they should do) him to have a good rest for a few days. 【答案】advised 【解析】 【详解】句意：医生建议他好好休息几天。句中英文释义“to tell somebody what you think they should do”意为“建议”，空格处在句中作谓语，需填入动词，本句描述已经发生的动作，要用一般过去时，因此需要变为动词过去式。“建议”对应的动词为 advise，过去式为advised。 六、根据短文内容，用括号内所给词的正确时态或形式填空，使短文完整。（共10小题； 每小题1.5分，满分15分） Last summer, I visited Beijing, the ____59____ (center) city of China’s history and culture. When I made the travel plan, I ____60____ (prefer) to visit famous universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University, ____61____ they are full of educational meanings and great creativity. Beijing ____62____ (change) a lot over the past few years. As Beijing is a city well known ____63____ its long history, I can’t wait ____64____ (enjoy) the old-time feel there. The Palace Museum is one of the most popular ____65____ (attraction). It is well worth ____66____ (visit) for all the tourists. When I walked around the city, I felt like ____67____ explorer. I could hardly imagine ____68____ (have) such a wonderful tour before. The subway ran at an amazing speed, taking me everywhere. The modern transport brings so much convenience to our lives! 【答案】59. central 60. preferred 61. because 62. has changed 63. for 64. to enjoy 65. attractions 66. visiting 67. an 68. having 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者去年夏天前往北京旅行的规划与游玩见闻，抒发了作者对此次旅行的美好感受。 【59题详解】 句意：去年夏天，我参观了北京，中国历史文化的中心城市。此处需要形容词修饰名词city，名词center的形容词形式为central。 【60题详解】 句意：我做旅行计划的时候，更偏好去参观北京大学、清华大学这类知名学府，因为它们充满教育意义，也富有创造力。本文讲述去年夏天的经历，整件事发生在过去，因此此处用一般过去时，prefer的过去式为preferred。 【61题详解】 句意：我做旅行计划的时候，更偏好去参观北京大学、清华大学这类知名学府，因为它们充满教育意义，也富有创造力。空格后内容解释作者想要参观名校的原因，前后是因果关系，因此用连词because引导原因状语从句。 【62题详解】 句意：在过去几年中，北京发生了很大的变化。时间状语“over the past few years”是现在完成时的标志，结构为have/has+过去分词；主语Beijing是第三人称单数，因此用has changed。 【63题详解】 句意：北京是一座以悠久历史闻名的城市，我迫不及待想要感受那里古老的氛围。句中“is a city well known... its long history”提示本题考查短语be well known for，意为“因……而闻名”。故填for。 【64题详解】 句意：我迫不及待想要感受那里古老的氛围。句首“I can’t wait...”提示本题考查短语can’t wait to do sth意为“迫不及待做某事”，此处用不定式结构。故填to enjoy。 【65题详解】 句意：故宫是最受欢迎的景点之一。句中“one of...”后加可数名词复数表示“最……的……之一”，因此此处用名词attraction的复数形式attractions。 【66题详解】 句意：对所有游客来说，故宫非常值得一游。句中“It is well worth”提示本题考查短语be worth doing sth意为“值得做某事”，此处用动名词形式。故填visiting。 【67题详解】 句意：当我在这座城市漫步时，我感觉自己就像一名探险家。此处泛指“一名探险家”，explorer是可数名词单数，且以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词an。 【68题详解】 句意：在此之前，我几乎不敢想象能拥有这么棒的一次旅行。动词imagine后接动名词作宾语，imagine doing sth意为“想象做某事”，因此用have的动名词形式having。 七、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） In recent years, online travel has become popular, allowing people to travel around the world without leaving their homes.

C If your hometown were to be pulled down one day, would you miss it? And what would you do to protect it? Huang Yongfu gave us his perfect answer. Huang and his wife lived in a small village. The village was far from the town, and most houses there were built decades ago, with grey walls and few decorations. Local people never paid much attention to those old walls. After he retired (退休) in the 1970s, Huang had plenty of free time. He started painting lovely animals, beautiful flowers and even interesting village stories on the walls of his house just for fun. The once lifeless walls soon became the most eye-catching spot in the whole village. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses too. His paintbrush brought a second “life” to those dull old houses. In 1998, the village was going to be pulled down, because most villagers had moved away. To save his hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in the whole village with bright, lovely colors. In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were amazed by Huang’s cute and lively artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” project. It was a big success, and the village soon became an art park. Huang himself became famous as “Grandpa Rainbow”. Now, Rainbow Village has become a well-known tourist attraction. It welcomes over one million visitors every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true—he saved his beloved village. Although Grandpa Rainbow passed away on January 23, 2024, people will remember him and his warm story forever. 35. Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the passage? A. To find the answers. B. To surprise the readers. C. To lead into the story. D. To show the writer's idea. 36. What do we know about Huang after he stopped working? A. He lived a colorful life. B. He showed his singing talent. C. He helped neighbors build houses. D. He brought animals into the village. 37. The underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. clean B. bright C. boring D. small 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Huang painted the village to make money at first. B. The “Save Rainbow Village” project was started by university students. C. Rainbow Village now receives less than a million visitors every year. D. Huang refused to paint for his neighbors at the beginning. 39. What was Huang Yongfu’s final dream that came true? A. To become a world-famous painter. B. To build an art park for his village. C. To save his village from being pulled down. D. To teach students how to paint. D In a recent discovery, archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty. The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls, roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture. What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area. Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the past.
