mustn’t禁止;shouldn’t不应该;needn’t不必;can’t不可能。根据答语后句“She has the flu and has to stay at home.”可知,莉莉生病在家,所以那边的人不可能是她,表示有把握的否定推测用can’t。

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我下定决心成为他们中的一个。

A. will collect B. will be collected C. has collected D. collects
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:到目前为止,她已经收集了2675个盒子。
句中“So far”意为“到目前为止”,是现在完成时的标志词,句子结构应用have/has +过去分词。主语she是第三人称单数,助动词用has。选项A、B为将来时,D为一般现在时,均不符合时态要求。故选C。
15. —Maybe you can join the art club to improve your drawing.

【16题详解】
句意:黄旭华1926年出生于广东。
根据“1926”是年份,可知年份前需用介词in。on用于具体日期、at用于时刻、to表方向,均不符。
【17题详解】
句意:这些痛苦的记忆驱使他更加努力学习。
前文提到家乡遭受外国侵略,这是令人痛苦的经历,因此需用painful。touching(感人的)、exciting(兴奋的)、strange(奇怪的)均不符合语境。
【18题详解】
句意:黄旭华自愿决定承担这项工作。
后文提到他隐姓埋名、放弃联系家人,说明这是他主动、自愿的选择,应用voluntary。bad(坏的)、boring(无聊的)、impossible(不可能的)均不符合语境。
【19题详解】
句意:那时,我们国家的科技很薄弱。

【20题详解】
句意:就像一个经验不足的登山者试图攀登陡峭的山。
后文提到“climb a very steep mountain”,因此用climber(登山者)。lawyer(律师)、designer(设计师)、writer(作家)均与“爬山”的比喻无关。
【21题详解】
句意:然而,黄和他的团队接受了挑战。
前文说任务像攀爬险峰一样艰难,后文说他们解决了问题,说明他们“接受了挑战”,应用accepted。refused(拒绝)、forgot(忘记)、noticed(注意到)均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:所以他们全靠自己做所有事情。
前文提到没有外国专家帮助,因此“靠自己”完成工作,主语是“they”,反身代词用themselves。himself(他自己)、herself(她自己)、ourselves(我们自己)均不符合人称。
【23题详解】
句意:他们举行了许多会议。
后文提到“shared ideas”,说明团队通过“开会”讨论解决问题,应用meetings。interviews(采访)、celebrations(庆祝)、records(记录)均不符合语境。

句意:最终,他们成功制造了中国第一艘核潜艇。
后文提到“This achievement(这项成就)”,说明他们最终“成功了”,应用succeeded。helped(帮助)、advised(建议)、realised(意识到)均不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:这一成就归功于黄及其团队的卓越团队合作。
前文多次提到“his team”和“the whole team”,且最后一句提到“Teamwork makes dreams come true”,因此用teamwork。memory(记忆)、discussion(讨论)、honour(荣誉)均不符合主旨。

But his friends kept inviting him to join their reading group. Slowly, he fell in love with reading. Now he reads at least one book a week and has even won a school reading competition.
Li Ming says, “Peer pressure can be a good thing if it pushes you to do something positive. It helps me become a better student and a better person.”
