A. at B. with C. for
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:在小组项目中,西蒙负责撰写报告。
be responsible for意为“对……负责”,是英语中的固定短语。介词for后接名词或动名词(writing the report)。at和with均不能与 responsible构成此意。

A. himself B. yourself C. ourselves
【答案】C
【解析】

A. less; less B. more; more C. less; more
【答案】C

考查副词辨析。hard猛烈地;hardly几乎不。根据“But it’s raining so...outside”可知,第一空应用副词hard修饰动词raining,表示“雨下得很大”;根据“we can...go out!”可知,我们几乎不能出去,副词hardly符合语境。故选C。
8. — How do you improve your reading skills?

In the end最后,终于;In that case既然那样、假使那样;In a word总之,总而言之。前一句说餐馆人多还偏贵,后一句“据此推断”饭菜好吃,用In that case衔接贴合语境。
12. ________ you spend all your money now, you won’t have any for tomorrow.

【详解】句意:——你认为“欲穷千里目,更上一层楼”是什么意思?——你站得越高,就会看得越远。
根据语境可知,此处是“the+比较级,the+比较级”结构,表示“越……就越……”,所以第一空用The higher,第二空用the farther。
15. The new invention ________ our ways of learning greatly in the near future.
A. changes B. changed C. will change
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这项新发明将在不久的将来极大地改变我们的学习方式。

Today, most countries use coins (硬币) and paper money to buy things. But before the metal coins and paper money, people used a lot of unusual things for money. In one part of the world, for example, people used shark’s teeth for money. On the Pacific island of Santa Cruz, people used feathers (羽毛) as their money, and they were the lightest money ever used. Stones were the money of the people from the Pacific island of Yap, and they were the heaviest money ever used. In addition, people in one area even used the hairs from elephants’ tails for money.
Although the oldest coins are over 2500 years old, no one knows when people started using metal coins for money. People first used very valuable metals, such as gold and silver, to make coins. They stamped (压印上) the shape (形状) of a person or an animal on each coin to show its value. But in China, people used iron coins as money. Because these coins weren’t worth very much, people had to use many of them to buy things. It was not convenient to make them everywhere, so the government started making paper receipts. People took these receipts to banks and changed them for coins. This was the first example of paper money.
31. According to the passage, people used ________ before they had coins and paper money.
A. shark’s teeth, feathers and hairs from people
B. shark’s teeth, seashells and hairs from people
C. shark’s teeth, stones and hairs from people
D. shark’s teeth, feathers, stones and hairs from elephants
32. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to ________?
A. shark’s teeth B. hairs from elephants C. stones. D. feathers
33. Paper became a form of money because ________.
A. it was cheap B. it was easy to carry
C. it was heavier than metal D. the government didn’t have any metal
34. People changed paper money for coins________.
A. at banks B. at watch houses C. at tea houses D. at government offices
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The history of money B. The importance of money
C. The use of money D. Different countries’ people use different money
【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了货币的发展历史,从早期的奇特货币形式到金属硬币,再到纸币的出现。

Mary’s uncle Ted was an engineer. He told her great stories about the rockets he helped design, and he often brought Mary science books. He also taught her some knowledge about space. Mary loved technology and science, and she was also adventurous (爱冒险的). For those reasons, Mary’s family kept telling her she should be an astronaut when she grew up, but she just wasn’t sure.
One Saturday, Mary and Uncle Ted went to visit the Science Museum. They watched a show on space travel. Uncle Ted told her something interesting about spaceships and space suits. But she was most interested in two model robot arms and tried operating (操作) them. She stayed there all day and felt very excited.
By the time they got on the bus to return home, Mary was very tired. Closing her eyes, she was thinking about what it would be like to fly into space. As she nearly fell asleep, Mary started to feel the weightlessness that astronauts must feel when they are in zero gravity (重力). The next thing she knew, she was looking out the window not of a bus but of a spaceship. Mary was operating a huge robot arm outside the spaceship. She felt nervous. But she kept at it. Soon she succeeded. She felt proud of herself.
Just then, Mary heard Uncle Ted’s voice. “Wake up, my dear! We’re back home now.” When she opened her eyes, she realized she had been dreaming, but she knew this for sure—she wanted to be an astronaut one day and couldn’t wait for her first trip into space.

Studies show that over 60% of students around the world find math difficult and boring, but maybe we’re missing its true beauty. Li Xing, a teacher from Ningxia University believes math can be fun and amazing. Let’s explore how math is connected with our daily life.
First, numbers are everywhere in your life. For example, try checking the length from your head to belly button (肚脐), and then from belly button to feet. The ratio (比例) of these two lengths is close to 0.618, which is known as the “golden ratio”. This special number always appears in nature, art, and music. In ancient Chinese artworks, we can also see the beauty of numbers, such as some phrases with numbers like “ten thousand mountains” or “a thousand miles”.
Curves (曲线) also include math’s beauty. “Sinusoidal curves” are curves that keep going in two opposite (相反的) directions without ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly move.
Finally, formulas (公式) can be amazing. For example, in a right-angled triangle , the square of the longest side is the total of the squares of the other two. How magical!
By seeing math in nature, art, and everyday life, we can find out its beauty. It is not only about solving problems but also about discovering the beautiful order in the world!
41. What is the value (值) of the “golden ratio”?
A. 0.168. B. 6.18. C. 61.8. D. 0.618.
42. What do “Sinusoidal curves” look like according to the text?
A. B.
C. D.
43. How does the writer support the topic sentence in the fourth paragraph?
A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By using a saying.
44. Which is the best structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1)
A. B.
C. D.
45. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. How to learn math well in daily life.
B. Teachers should make math classes more interesting.
C. Math has true beauty and connects with our daily life.
D. Why many students find math difficult.
【答案】41. D 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了数学与日常生活的联系,从黄金比例、正弦曲线和公式三个方面展示了数学的美。
【41题详解】
第二段指出:“The ratio...is close to 0.618, which is known as the ‘golden ratio’.”,说明黄金比例的值为0.618。
【42题详解】
第三段描述正弦曲线:“curves that keep going in two opposite directions without ending...you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly move.”,图片D为波浪形曲线,符合描述。
【43题详解】
第四段首句指出:“Finally, formulas can be amazing.”,随后以“in a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is the total of the squares of the other two”为例,说明公式的神奇之处,因此作者通过“举例”来支持主题句。
【44题详解】
文章结构为:第①段引出话题,第②-④段分别从数字、曲线、公式举例说明,第⑤段总结,符合“总—分—总”结构,对应B项。

【69题详解】
句意:在地震发生、建筑晃动时,三角形结构可以将建筑稳固在一起。主句时态为一般现在时,主语it指代the building,为第三人称单数,因此动词shake用第三人称单数形式shakes。
【70题详解】
句意:工程师们正尽最大努力让建筑更稳固地屹立不倒,我们十分期待他们富有创意的设计。固定搭配try one’s best表示“尽某人最大努力”,good的最高级形式为best。

Today, most countries use coins (硬币) and paper money to buy things. But before the metal coins and paper money, people used a lot of unusual things for money. In one part of the world, for example, people used shark’s teeth for money. On the Pacific island of Santa Cruz, people used feathers (羽毛) as their money, and they were the lightest money ever used. Stones were the money of the people from the Pacific island of Yap, and they were the heaviest money ever used. In addition, people in one area even used the hairs from elephants’ tails for money.
Although the oldest coins are over 2500 years old, no one knows when people started using metal coins for money. People first used very valuable metals, such as gold and silver, to make coins. They stamped (压印上) the shape (形状) of a person or an animal on each coin to show its value. But in China, people used iron coins as money. Because these coins weren’t worth very much, people had to use many of them to buy things. It was not convenient to make them everywhere, so the government started making paper receipts. People took these receipts to banks and changed them for coins. This was the first example of paper money.
31. According to the passage, people used ________ before they had coins and paper money.
A. shark’s teeth, feathers and hairs from people
B. shark’s teeth, seashells and hairs from people
C. shark’s teeth, stones and hairs from people
D. shark’s teeth, feathers, stones and hairs from elephants
32. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to ________?
A. shark’s teeth B. hairs from elephants C. stones. D. feathers
33. Paper became a form of money because ________.
A. it was cheap B. it was easy to carry
C. it was heavier than metal D. the government didn’t have any metal
34. People changed paper money for coins________.
A. at banks B. at watch houses C. at tea houses D. at government offices
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The history of money B. The importance of money
C. The use of money D. Different countries’ people use different money
C
Mary’s uncle Ted was an engineer. He told her great stories about the rockets he helped design, and he often brought Mary science books. He also taught her some knowledge about space. Mary loved technology and science, and she was also adventurous (爱冒险的). For those reasons, Mary’s family kept telling her she should be an astronaut when she grew up, but she just wasn’t sure.
One Saturday, Mary and Uncle Ted went to visit the Science Museum. They watched a show on space travel. Uncle Ted told her something interesting about spaceships and space suits. But she was most interested in two model robot arms and tried operating (操作) them. She stayed there all day and felt very excited.
By the time they got on the bus to return home, Mary was very tired. Closing her eyes, she was thinking about what it would be like to fly into space. As she nearly fell asleep, Mary started to feel the weightlessness that astronauts must feel when they are in zero gravity (重力). The next thing she knew, she was looking out the window not of a bus but of a spaceship. Mary was operating a huge robot arm outside the spaceship. She felt nervous. But she kept at it. Soon she succeeded. She felt proud of herself.
Just then, Mary heard Uncle Ted’s voice. “Wake up, my dear! We’re back home now.” When she opened her eyes, she realized she had been dreaming, but she knew this for sure—she wanted to be an astronaut one day and couldn’t wait for her first trip into space.

Studies show that over 60% of students around the world find math difficult and boring, but maybe we’re missing its true beauty. Li Xing, a teacher from Ningxia University believes math can be fun and amazing. Let’s explore how math is connected with our daily life.
First, numbers are everywhere in your life. For example, try checking the length from your head to belly button (肚脐), and then from belly button to feet. The ratio (比例) of these two lengths is close to 0.618, which is known as the “golden ratio”. This special number always appears in nature, art, and music. In ancient Chinese artworks, we can also see the beauty of numbers, such as some phrases with numbers like “ten thousand mountains” or “a thousand miles”.
Curves (曲线) also include math’s beauty. “Sinusoidal curves” are curves that keep going in two opposite (相反的) directions without ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly move.
Finally, formulas (公式) can be amazing. For example, in a right-angled triangle , the square of the longest side is the total of the squares of the other two. How magical!
By seeing math in nature, art, and everyday life, we can find out its beauty. It is not only about solving problems but also about discovering the beautiful order in the world!
41. What is the value (值) of the “golden ratio”?
A. 0.168. B. 6.18. C. 61.8. D. 0.618.
42. What do “Sinusoidal curves” look like according to the text?
A. B.
C. D.
43. How does the writer support the topic sentence in the fourth paragraph?
A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By using a saying.
44. Which is the best structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1)
A. B.
C. D.
45. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. How to learn math well in daily life.
B. Teachers should make math classes more interesting.
C. Math has true beauty and connects with our daily life.
D. Why many students find math difficult.
