【解析】
【导语】本文讲述牧羊人放松对狼的警惕,误把狼当作保镖,最终羊群遭狼偷袭受损的寓言故事。
【1题详解】
句意:在看着羊群吃鲜嫩青草的时候,他有时会小睡一会儿。
上文提到“a shepherd took his sheep out into the fields. And then he sat down under a tree”,说明牧羊人在照看羊群,“watching”意为“观看、看护”,契合牧羊人照看羊群的语境。helping“帮助”、showing“展示”、finding“发现”,不符合语境。
【2题详解】
句意:羊群吃饱之后,他就把它们带回家。
上文提到羊群在田野吃青草,空后为赶羊回家的行为,full意为“吃饱的”,吃饱后回家符合逻辑。free“空闲的”、tired“疲惫的”、bored“无聊的”均不符合牧羊放牧的常规语境。
【3题详解】
句意:起初,牧羊人以为狼想要捕捉他的羊,所以十分担心。
上文提到狼出现在不远处,结合全文围绕牧羊人和羊群展开,sheep意为“羊”,贴合情节设定。dog“狗”、friend“朋友”、family“家人”均与狼的捕猎对象语境无关。
【4题详解】
句意:但是这只狼什么也没做。
上文提到牧羊人担心狼抓羊,“But”表示转折,nothing意为“没有什么”,说明狼没有伤害羊群。anything多用于否定疑问句、everything“一切”、something“某事”均无法体现狼按兵不动的状态。
【5题详解】
句意:当牧羊人带着羊群往家走时,狼安静地跟在远处。
空后“at a distance”说明狼悄悄尾随,quietly意为“安静地”,符合狼伪装潜伏的状态。excitedly“兴奋地”、noisily“吵闹地”、happily“开心地”都不符合狼伪装潜伏的语境。
【6题详解】
句意:牧羊人发现狼每天早上都等在田野附近,只是观望并不捕捉羊群。
上文提到牧羊人每天把羊带到田野放牧,fields意为“田野”,呼应前文场景。hills“小山”、trees“树木”、houses“房屋”,不符合语境。
【7题详解】
句意:日复一日,牧羊人越来越不担心这只狼了。
上文提到狼只是观望从不伤害羊群,worried about意为“担心”,符合牧羊人逐渐放松戒备的心理变化。looked after“照顾”、waited for“等待”、thought of“想到”均不符合语境逻辑。
【8题详解】
句意:因为他把狼看作羊群的保护者,便把羊留在田野独自回家。
look on...as...是固定搭配,意为“把……看作……”,此处用介词as。
【9题详解】
句意:然而当他回来时,发现到处都是死去的羊。
下文提到“The wolf killed most of his sheep”,狼害死了大部分羊,dead意为“死去的”,契合狼偷袭后的结果。young“年幼的”、old“年老的”、wild“野生的”均无法体现羊群遇害的情节。
【10题详解】
句意:可怜的牧羊人坐下来哭诉,都是我的错!我竟然信任一只狼!
羊群惨死,牧羊人懊悔难过,cried意为“哭泣、哭诉”,符合情绪。sang“唱歌”、ran“奔跑”、laughed“大笑”与悲伤场景相悖。

People build houses of different styles. Like people, some birds also like to make their “houses” look special.
Bird nests are almost everywhere. People believe that birds make nests just for shelter. They protect a mother’s eggs and baby birds from the cold, wind and enemies. However, a team of scientists from the University of St Andrews in the UK looked more into bird nests. They studied white-browed sparrow weavers in the Kalahari Desert in Africa and found that these birds have different nest-building styles from each other.
Some of the bird families they saw made simple nests with no decorations. Others made nests with long openings to fly into. These openings can be 10 centimeters longer than those of simpler nests. This might not seem a lot to humans but for these small birds, it’s a big difference.
More importantly, the bird families work together to build them, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting materials, while others are good at building.
“Once they started, everybody followed, and now they have a tradition.” Mario Tello Ramos from the team told The New York Times. Younger birds watch and try to copy the older ones. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests.
18. What is the common use of bird nests?
A. To make trends. B. To save food.
C. To protect birds. D. To show birds’ building skills.
19. What did scientists find about the nests of white-browed sparrow weavers?
A. They have different building styles.
B. They are simpler than the nests of other birds.
C. All of them have colorful decorations.
D. Most of them have long openings for birds to fly into.
20. How do white-browed sparrow weaver families build their nests?
A. They work at the same time. B. They do the same job together.
C. Each bird works alone on its own nest. D. They work together but play different roles.
21. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The styles of nests change over time.
B. Teamwork helps young birds learn from the old ones.
C. Younger birds are more important in nest building.
D. Birds make a team to help each other build nests.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. D 21. B
【解析】

【19题详解】
第二段说明:“found that these birds have different nest-building styles from each other”,能得出这类鸟儿筑巢风格各不相同。
【20题详解】
第四段讲述:“the bird families work together to build them, and each bird has its own special job”,表明鸟儿协作筑巢且各司其职、分工不同。

D
My friend named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.
Paul answered. “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised, “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish...” He hesitated (犹豫). Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to.” the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind stopping in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two stairs are?” the boy asked.
He went up to the stairs. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat on the stair and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a dollar. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted Buddy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in behind him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride.

25. We can infer from the story that ________.

C. the boy’s wish came true in the end D. Buddy wanted to have a rich brother
【答案】22. A 23. D 24. B 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述男孩看到Paul的新车后,表达想成为像Paul哥哥那样的人,最终带跛腿弟弟看车并许下未来送他车的承诺,展现兄弟间的深厚情谊。
【22题详解】
第五段指出“Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat on the stair and pointed to the car.”,男孩背着他的弟弟,结合语境,弟弟应该是行动不便的,“crippled”推测为“跛腿的”。
【23题详解】
第六段男孩对弟弟说“some day I’m going to give you one just like it”,可知他让Paul停车是为了告诉弟弟自己的愿望(未来送他车)。
【24题详解】
第二段男孩明确说“I wish … that I could be a brother like that”,希望成为像Paul哥哥那样的人。
【25题详解】
男孩一心想着跛腿弟弟,想让弟弟看看好车,承诺将来也送弟弟一辆。这体现了他对弟弟深厚的爱。

【27题详解】
第二段介绍:“There are beautiful lakes like Kanas, White, Double and Black lakes.”,本段在介绍阿勒泰的山水湖泊,后文专门讲到喀纳斯河流与山谷,空处适合引出当地知名景区,G项“One of the most famous places of Altay is the Kanas area”聚焦喀纳斯,贴合语境。
【28题详解】
第三段总述:“In spring and summer... In winter...”,后文依次出现春夏、冬季景色描写,整段按季节展开景物刻画,空处需要一句总起句统领全段,E项“This area has different looks in different seasons”总领全段。
【29题详解】

【30题详解】

35. Doing sports regularly gives us a p________ body and a strong mind.
【答案】powerful##owerful

41. beginning
42. blew 43. heavily
44. themselves
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述一群爱徒步的朋友登山,中途走错路又突降大雨,返程后自我反省并决定不再犯错的故事。
【40题详解】
句意:他们经常去山里徒步,探索自然界。上文“went on hikes in the mountains”体现去山野探索,空格处需形容词修饰名词“world”,结合备选词,nature为名词,变形为形容词natural表“自然的”,natural world为常用搭配,贴合进山探索自然的文意。
【41题详解】
句意:起初,一切都进展得很顺利。下文“But as they went higher”形成前后转折,此处表示起初阶段,动词begin变形为名词beginning,in the beginning为固定短语“起初”,和后文爬到高处后的变故形成时间对比。
【42题详解】
句意:但是当他们往高处走时,风变得更大了。上下文通篇为一般过去时,主语“the wind”后缺谓语动词,结合备选词,此处指刮风,blow表“吹”,应填过去式blew。
【43题详解】
句意:正当他们想办法时,开始下起大雨。下文“They were all getting wet and cold”说明雨下得很大,空格处需副词修饰动词“rain”,形容词heavy变为副词heavily,rain heavily表示“下大雨”。
【44题详解】

【46题详解】
句意:票价在八十欧元到九十欧元之间。前面“eighty”是整十基数词,nine是基数词“九”,不符合数值范围,对应要用整十基数词ninety表示“九十”。
【47题详解】
句意:也许价格相当贵,但迪士尼乐园确实是人们游玩的好去处。本句需要副词修饰整个句子,作状语,此处为real的副词really形式。
【48题详解】
句意:也许价格相当贵,但迪士尼乐园确实是人们游玩的好去处。固定句式a place for sb. to do sth.,用动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词“place”,所以用to visit。
【49题详解】
句意:巴黎是世界上的购物中心之一。语法结构“one of”须接可数名词复数,此处为center的复数形式。
【50题详解】

Over the holidays, lots of people will travel to different parts of the world with friends and family. A popular holiday activity is snorkeling with sea life in the ocean.
Snorkeling is the sport or activity of swimming on or near the water’s surface while using a snorkel to breathe and observe underwater life with a snorkel. The snorkel helps people breathe when they are looking down, so that they can better enjoy the sea life. Perfect places for snorkeling with sea life are warm seas with clear water and almost no waves.
For people who love sea life, snorkeling is a good chance to see amazing animals in their habitat (栖息地). Seeing these animals up close is a great way to call on people to care for and protect sea life and the environment (环境). Also, snorkeling offers people jobs. As snorkeling becomes more popular, more tour guides and boat drivers will be needed.
However, some people are against the idea of snorkeling with sea life. Even though animals are free to leave when people swim near them, visiting them could affect (影响) animals’ behavior (行为) and population numbers. According to a study, snorkeling tours can cause dolphin pods (海豚群) to leave their usual feeding areas. Also, people may get hurt when getting close to sea life. After all, wildlife in the sea is just that—wild.
What’s more, snorkeling with sea life may bring problems to the sea environment. For example, when getting too close to sea life, people may damage coral reefs (破坏珊瑚礁). They are important for the sea environment, because they offer food and habitat for sea life. Also, the boats that are used to take people to see sea life are likely to pollute the water.
So, is it OK to snorkel with sea life? It really depends on who you ask.
55. What is snorkeling?

People build houses of different styles. Like people, some birds also like to make their “houses” look special.
Bird nests are almost everywhere. People believe that birds make nests just for shelter. They protect a mother’s eggs and baby birds from the cold, wind and enemies. However, a team of scientists from the University of St Andrews in the UK looked more into bird nests. They studied white-browed sparrow weavers in the Kalahari Desert in Africa and found that these birds have different nest-building styles from each other.
Some of the bird families they saw made simple nests with no decorations. Others made nests with long openings to fly into. These openings can be 10 centimeters longer than those of simpler nests. This might not seem a lot to humans but for these small birds, it’s a big difference.
More importantly, the bird families work together to build them, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting materials, while others are good at building.
“Once they started, everybody followed, and now they have a tradition.” Mario Tello Ramos from the team told The New York Times. Younger birds watch and try to copy the older ones. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests.
18. What is the common use of bird nests?
A. To make trends. B. To save food.
C. To protect birds. D. To show birds’ building skills.
19. What did scientists find about the nests of white-browed sparrow weavers?
A. They have different building styles.
B. They are simpler than the nests of other birds.
C. All of them have colorful decorations.
D. Most of them have long openings for birds to fly into.
20. How do white-browed sparrow weaver families build their nests?
A. They work at the same time. B. They do the same job together.
C. Each bird works alone on its own nest. D. They work together but play different roles.
21. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The styles of nests change over time.
B. Teamwork helps young birds learn from the old ones.
C. Younger birds are more important in nest building.
D. Birds make a team to help each other build nests.

My friend named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.
