三、完形填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
The sun was shining on the sparkling grass. It was morning, and the grass was still wet from the dew. We were excited to see the sunshine after days of rain! Sydney and I were tired of being stuck ____16____.
“Mom, can we go out and play?” I shouted.
“You and Sydney need to clean your rooms ____17____. I’m excited to get some fresh air in the house. It’s time for a good spring cleaning!” Mom answered.
Sydney and I looked at each other and groaned. We wanted to get outside instead of cleaning the room. But we knew we could only go play ____18____ we finished cleaning. We decided to make it a race to see who could clean their room the fastest. But we had to clean up the right way, or Mom would make us ____19____ it.
“3.. 2... 1... GO!” we shouted. I put my clothes into the hamper (脏衣篓). Then I made my bed and pulled the blanket over it, so it looked perfect, like a ____20____ picture. All of my books went back on the bookshelf, and my toys and games went back in the closet.
“DONE!’’ I heard Sydney shout from her room down the hall.
“Aw, man, I was just about to shout it out. Good job, Sydney,” I said. Sydney jumped up and down. “I never finish cleaning before you, Alden!” she ____21____. She looked so excited that I couldn’t even be ____22____ at my little sister.
We ran to the kitchen. Mom was there, getting ready to make her ____23____ apple pie. Everyone in the family knew it and was waiting for it. “Can we play now?” I asked. “Yes,” she said. “If you play nicely outside, you can have some pie later.”

四、阅读理解(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
A
Hundreds of years ago, ideas like flying to another city through the air sounded like dreams. Yet now scientific study has made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday?
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is set in your body. But animals like bears can hibernate (冬眠) through the winter until it warms.
If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate too. It would be great for spacemen to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma.
Talk to Animals
Talking to animals isn’t quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and microphones have collected thousands of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer programs study animal sounds and match them with possible meanings. Soon they may let us talk back.
But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language, and sounds that humans can’t hear. And animals don’t think like people. So, when we think they’re giving directions to the castle, they’re more likely to be saying “This is my tree!”
Let Down Your Hair
Rapunzel lowers her long hair to let visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince?
Surprisingly, yes! A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the weight of a small tomato. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together could hold up a couple of elephants. A prince? No problem.
However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet long. The longest hair ever recorded is about 18 feet long—pretty short for a tower.
26. If spacemen could hibernate, they would________.
A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel
C. need more food and water D. communicate with animals
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Animals think like people in giving directions.
B. Scientists can talk back to animals successfully.
C. A common person’s hair could hold up a giant panda.
D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history.
28. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss new inventions for space travel.
B. To tell us how scientists influence fairy tales.
C. To compare different animals’ talking habits.
D. To show scientific possibilities behind fairy tales.
B
Imagine a narrow waterway that can shake the global economy. This is the Strait of Hormuz (霍尔木兹海峡)! It lies between Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point, it is only 33 kilometers wide. But it is the only door from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. For thousands of years, traders and travelers have sailed through it, connecting different cultures and trade across continents (大陆).
This small strait is the world’s most vital energy lifeline. More than 20% of all oil shipped by sea passes through it, along with huge amounts of liquefied (液化) natural gas. Most of these resources go to countries like China, India and Japan, powering their cities, factories, and homes. If this “throat” were blocked, energy prices would skyrocket (飞涨), and the whole world would feel the shortage.
Today, the Strait of Hormuz is still a key guard of global energy security. Its special position makes it a natural “chokepoint” (咽喉要道)—no other waterway can take its place. As long as the world needs oil and gas, this narrow waterway will remain the most important “energy throat” on Earth.
29. Where is the Strait of Hormuz?
A. Between Iran and India. B. Between Iran and Oman.
C. Between China and Japan. D. Between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.
30. What would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were blocked?
A. Energy prices would go down. B. More oil would be shipped by sea.
C. Energy prices would rise very fast. D. Countries would stop using oil.
31. The word “vital” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ .
A. dangerous B. small C. wide D. important
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
B. Less than 20% of the world’s sea-shipped oil goes through the strait.
C. The strait is mainly used by tourists and travelers today.
D. There are many other waterways that can replace the Strait of Hormuz.
C
You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.
Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.
You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area.
As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else.
In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.
33. The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ .
A. telling a story B. creating a scene C. giving a reason D. asking a question
34. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The main types of teahouses. B. The address of teahouses.
C. Different visitors to teahouses. D. Some activities in teahouses.
35. Which is the best way to divide the passage?
A. B. C. D.

七、阅读填空(共20小题,每小题1分,满分20分)
A)
阅读短文,根据所读内容,在文章后面表格里的相应空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。
Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. I never believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, he held up his new book. He had published more than 100 bestsellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves”. It describes how people’s future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal.
Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn’t share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals.
Finally, get advice from the people who you haven’t spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely to offer it than those closest to you. So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.
Lead-in

B)缺词填空。
Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2,000 years ago. Chinese gardens are a special f____66____ of traditional Chinese culture and art.
At the entrance to a Chinese garden, there is u____67____ a huge stone or wall to screen your view. This is to give you a pressed-in feeling in order to later produce unexpected joy w____68____ you turn around the hall to see the amazing rock formations (假山) and a big lake. The best e____69____ is the Summer Palace.
Rock formations play an important role in the d____70____ of a Chinese-style garden. Without them, a garden could not be considered a Chinese-style garden. They are as i____71____ to a Chinese-style garden as sculptures are to a European-style-garden. Ge Garden in Yangzhou is famous for its Four Seasons Rockeries.
Gardens in the south are mostly small in size. Chinese garden designers have used the m____72____ of “borrowing scenery with a mirror” to create a sense of space. A mirror is hung opposite a window to take in the o____73____ scenery. A fine example of this is Pian Shi Shan Fang, a rockery in He Garden, Yangzhou. A big mirror is built into the wall of its west corridor (走廊). The whole garden will be s____74____ in the mirror wherever the visitors are. A pool or a lake in a garden also serves this purpose. A pool runs from south to north t____75____ the garden of Pian Shi Shan Fang. East of the rockery, a man-made moon is reflected (倒映) in the pool.
Whatever methods used, every effort is made to achieve the purpose of giving visitors a sense of space in the garden.

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你已经上交你的项目了吗?——是的,我刚刚完成它。
ever曾经;yet还,已经 (常用于疑问句和否定句句末);just刚刚。第一空,此处是现在完成时的一般疑问句,且位于句末,询问是否已经完成,用yet。第二空,此处表示“刚刚完成”,用just。
3. The wind was terribly strong and the ship struggled to move slowly ________ the wind.
A. against B. at C. for D. during
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:风非常大,船挣扎着缓慢地逆风行驶。
against逆着;at在;for为了;during在……期间。根据“The wind was terribly strong”和“struggled to move slowly”可知,船行进困难,说明是逆风移动,move against the wind意为“逆风而行”。
4. —I want to borrow a book like A Brief History of Time. Can you help me?

【答案】D
【解析】

6. Few of us could understand the article, ________ we could hardly find any new words in it.
A. since B. because C. so D. though
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们中几乎没人能理解这篇文章,尽管我们在里面几乎找不到任何生词。
since既然;because因为;so所以;though尽管。前半句表明理解文章困难,后半句表明文中几乎无生词,前后句构成让步转折关系,应填though。

C. how long, have moved D. when, moved
【答案】A

when什么时候;have lived已经居住,现在完成时;how long多长时间;lived居住,一般过去时;have moved已经搬家;moved搬家。根据答句中时间状语“since two years ago”可知,句子应用现在完成时,排除B、D选项;move是瞬间动词,不能与表示一段时间的时间状语连用,live是延续性动词,可以与since连用,排除C选项。问句中助动词为did,询问搬家时间点用when。所以选A。
8. —My mother ________ Shanghai to attend a meeting for 2 days.

考查现在完成时的用法。has been to曾经去过,已回来;has gone to已经去了,未回来,瞬间性动词;has been in持续待在,延续性动词;has arrived in已到达,瞬间性动词。根据“Have you started to miss her?”可知,妈妈没在说话处,排除选项A;又根据“for 2 days”可知,此句用现在完成时,且动词用延续性动词have been in。故选C。
9. My father ________ drive to his workplace, but now he has ________ riding a bike there to keep fit.
A. used to; used to B. got used to; used to
C. used to; got used to D. used to; get used to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我父亲过去常常开车去上班,但现在他已经习惯了骑自行车去那里以保持身体健康。
考查动词短语。used to do sth.过去常常做某事;get used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。根据“but now…”可知,but表转折,此处指过去和现在上班方式的对比,过去常开车上班,现在习惯骑自行车上班。第一空用used to do,第二空用get used to doing,结合第二空前的“has”可知,此处是现在完成时,get用其过去分词形式。故选C。
10. You can’t eat an elephant all at once. Eat it one bite ________.
A. on time B. at a time C. all the time D. at the same time
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你不可能立刻吃掉一头大象。每次咬一口。
考查介词短语。on time准时;at a time依次,每次;all the time一直;at the same time同时。根据“You can’t eat an elephant all at once.”及语境可知是每次咬一口。故选B。
11. —I don’t know ________ when we are in trouble at school.

how can I face them我该如何面对他们(语序错误);who to talk about该和谁谈论;who to ask for help向谁求助;what I can do我能做什么。know后接宾语,可用“疑问词 + 不定式”结构。根据答语“Our teachers and friends”可知,问句询问的是求助的对象,应用who引导。A项语序错误,宾语从句应用陈述语序;B项语义不符;D项询问做什么,与答语指人不符。C项结构正确且符合语境。
12. — The Youth Ceremony is coming. How are the students preparing for it?

【解析】
【详解】句意:右边的通知中彼得斯先生是什么意思?通知内容:你们中有些人告诉我作业有点难,所以如果到周五还没完成作业,可以在周一交。
The homework must be handed in on Monday周一必须提交作业;No students can finish the homework by Friday没有学生能在周五前完成作业;If students have problems, ask Mr. Peters for help如果学生有问题,可以向彼得斯先生求助;Students can have extra time to finish the homework学生们可以有额外的时间来完成作业。根据通知中“if you haven’t finished it by Friday, you can hand it in on Monday”可知,老师允许未按时完成的学生延期提交,这意味着学生可以有额外的时间来完成作业。A项说法过于绝对,B项与原文“Some of you”矛盾,C项文中未提及。所以选D。
15. —AI tools can help us write book reports. They save time and give us good ideas.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,雨后清晨Alden和妹妹想出去玩,妈妈要求先打扫房间,二人比赛完成后发现妈妈的苹果派碎了,便悄悄计划查明真相。
【16题详解】
句意:Sydney和我厌倦了被困在室内。
inside在室内;outside在室外;alone独自;together一起。根据前文“after days of rain”和后文“go out and play”可知,两人连日下雨被困在家里,“inside”符合语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
句意:你和Sydney得先打扫你们的房间。
before在……前;then然后;already已经;first首先。根据后文“we could only go play after we finished cleaning”可知,妈妈要求先完成打扫才能出去玩,“first”表顺序“首先”,符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
句意:但我们知道只有打扫完后才能去玩。
until直到;because因为;after在……之后;before在……前。根据“But we knew we could only go play…we finished cleaning.”和前文妈妈要求先打扫房间的逻辑可知,“打扫完”是“出去玩”的前提,“after”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
句意:但我们必须正确打扫,否则妈妈会让我们重做。
redo重做;enjoy享受;forget忘记;finish完成。根据“clean up the right way”的反面假设,打扫不正确就需要“重做”,“redo”符合语境。故选A。

family家庭;house房子;school学校;magazine杂志。根据“looked perfect”可知,杂志上的图片常呈现精致美观的样子,“magazine”符合语境。故选D。

mad生气的;sad伤心的;guilty内疚的;nervous紧张的。根据前文“我差点先完成”的小遗憾和悉尼的兴奋可知,“我”因妹妹的开心而不“生气”,“mad”符合语境。故选A。
【23题详解】
句意:妈妈在那里,准备做她有名的苹果派。
small小的;large大的;famous有名的;expensive昂贵的。根据“Everyone in the family knew it”可知,妈妈的苹果派全家都知晓,即“有名的”,“famous”符合语境。故选C。
【24题详解】

voice嗓音;smell气味;sound声音;light光。根据“The pie!”可知,苹果派烤好后散发的是“气味”,“smell”符合语境。故选B。
【25题详解】
句意:“我们必须在妈妈发现之前弄清楚发生了什么事,” 我小声对Sydney说。
hide隐藏;forget忘记;accept接受;solve解决。根据“broken into pieces”和“find out the truth”可知,两人需要查明派碎的原因,此处“solve”引申为“弄清楚”,符合语境。故选D。
四、阅读理解(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
A
Hundreds of years ago, ideas like flying to another city through the air sounded like dreams. Yet now scientific study has made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday?
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is set in your body. But animals like bears can hibernate (冬眠) through the winter until it warms.
If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate too. It would be great for spacemen to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma.
Talk to Animals
Talking to animals isn’t quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and microphones have collected thousands of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer programs study animal sounds and match them with possible meanings. Soon they may let us talk back.
But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language, and sounds that humans can’t hear. And animals don’t think like people. So, when we think they’re giving directions to the castle, they’re more likely to be saying “This is my tree!”
Let Down Your Hair
Rapunzel lowers her long hair to let visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince?
Surprisingly, yes! A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the weight of a small tomato. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together could hold up a couple of elephants. A prince? No problem.
However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet long. The longest hair ever recorded is about 18 feet long—pretty short for a tower.
26. If spacemen could hibernate, they would________.
A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel
C. need more food and water D. communicate with animals
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Animals think like people in giving directions.
B. Scientists can talk back to animals successfully.
C. A common person’s hair could hold up a giant panda.
D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history.
28. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss new inventions for space travel.
B. To tell us how scientists influence fairy tales.
C. To compare different animals’ talking habits.
D. To show scientific possibilities behind fairy tales.
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. D
【解析】
【导语】本文以《睡美人》《与动物对话》《长发公主》三个童话故事为例,探讨其背后的科学可能性,说明科学研究或许能让童话情节在未来成真。
【26题详解】
根据文章第一部分“Sleeping Beauty”中的句子“It would be great for spacemen to sleep through the long space journey.”可知,如果科学家能解决冬眠问题,宇航员可以在漫长的太空旅行中通过睡眠度过。
【27题详解】
根据文章第三部分“Let Down Your Hair”中提到“All those together could hold up a couple of elephants.”可知,普通人的头发既然能支撑大象,那么支撑体重轻于大象的大熊猫也是可以的。
【28题详解】
文章开头提出“Could other fairy tales come true someday?”,随后分别通过科学角度分析了“睡美人”、“与动物交谈”和“长发公主”三个童话实现的可能性。因此,文章的主要目的是展示童话背后的科学可能性。
B
Imagine a narrow waterway that can shake the global economy. This is the Strait of Hormuz (霍尔木兹海峡)! It lies between Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point, it is only 33 kilometers wide. But it is the only door from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. For thousands of years, traders and travelers have sailed through it, connecting different cultures and trade across continents (大陆).
This small strait is the world’s most vital energy lifeline. More than 20% of all oil shipped by sea passes through it, along with huge amounts of liquefied (液化) natural gas. Most of these resources go to countries like China, India and Japan, powering their cities, factories, and homes. If this “throat” were blocked, energy prices would skyrocket (飞涨), and the whole world would feel the shortage.
Today, the Strait of Hormuz is still a key guard of global energy security. Its special position makes it a natural “chokepoint” (咽喉要道)—no other waterway can take its place. As long as the world needs oil and gas, this narrow waterway will remain the most important “energy throat” on Earth.
29. Where is the Strait of Hormuz?
A. Between Iran and India. B. Between Iran and Oman.
C. Between China and Japan. D. Between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.
30. What would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were blocked?
A. Energy prices would go down. B. More oil would be shipped by sea.
C. Energy prices would rise very fast. D. Countries would stop using oil.
31. The word “vital” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ .
A. dangerous B. small C. wide D. important
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
B. Less than 20% of the world’s sea-shipped oil goes through the strait.
C. The strait is mainly used by tourists and travelers today.
D. There are many other waterways that can replace the Strait of Hormuz.
【答案】29. B 30. C 31. D 32. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了霍尔木兹海峡的地理位置、重要作用以及它对全球能源安全的影响。
【29题详解】
根据第一段中的“It lies between Iran and Oman.”可知,它位于伊朗和阿曼之间。
【30题详解】
根据第二段中的“If this “throat” were blocked, energy prices would skyrocket (飞涨), and the whole world would feel the shortage.”可知,如果霍尔木兹海峡被封锁,能源价格将会飙升。
【31题详解】
根据第二段中的“This small strait is the world’s most vital energy lifeline. More than 20% of all oil shipped by sea passes through it, along with huge amounts of liquefied (液化) natural gas.”可知,这个小海峡是世界上最重要的能源生命线。超过20%的海运石油以及大量的液化天然气都经过这里。因此“vital”的意思是重要的,相当于“important”。
【32题详解】
根据第一段中的“But it is the only door from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.”可知,霍尔木兹海峡是连接波斯湾和印度洋的唯一水道。
C
You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.
Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.
You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area.
As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else.
In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.
33. The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ .
A. telling a story B. creating a scene C. giving a reason D. asking a question
34. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The main types of teahouses. B. The address of teahouses.
C. Different visitors to teahouses. D. Some activities in teahouses.
35. Which is the best way to divide the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了成都的茶馆文化,包括茶馆的历史、传统与新式茶馆的特点、饮茶方式,以及茶馆作为成都慢生活象征的意义。
【33题详解】
第一段“Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds or boiled peanuts.”,第一段通过描写坐在竹椅上、听倒水声、嗑瓜子等场景,营造出成都茶馆的氛围,属于creating a scene(创设场景),而非讲故事、给理由或提问题。
【34题详解】
第三段“You will find most of Chengdu's traditional teahouses in parks… However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation.”,第三段既介绍了人民公园内的传统茶馆(鹤鸣茶社、少城茶社),也提到了吸引年轻人的新式茶馆(MI XUN茶社),核心是介绍茶馆的主要类型。
【35题详解】
全文五个段落的结构逻辑,第一段:引出成都茶馆主题;第二段:介绍茶馆历史与传统活动;第三段:介绍传统与新式茶馆的类型;第四段:介绍成都茶馆的饮茶方式;第五段:总结茶馆对成都慢生活的意义,文章结构为:总起(①)→分述(②-④:历史、类型、饮茶方式)→总结(⑤),与选项A的“首尾总起总结,中间分述”结构一致。
第Ⅱ部分 非选择题(满分50分)
五、词汇(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
A)根据括号中所给的提示写出英文单词,使句子意思完整正确。
36. Nanjing is one of the most famous ________ (历史上著名的) cities in China.
【答案】historic
【解析】
【详解】句意:南京是中国最著名的历史名城之一。根据汉语提示可知,“历史上著名的”的英文表达为historic,形容词作定语,修饰名词cities,故填historic。
37. They all held their ________(腹部)and laughed happily after Charlie told the joke.
【答案】stomachs
【解析】
【详解】句意:查理讲完这个笑话后,他们都捂着肚子开心地笑了起来。stomach“腹部”,是名词,结合“their”可知,此处应用复数形式,故填stomachs。
38. I ________ (较喜欢) to spend my weekends in the library when I was young.
【答案】
preferred
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我年幼时,我更喜欢在图书馆度过我的周末时光。“较喜欢”对应prefer,根据时间状语“when I was young”提示使用一般过去时,prefer的过去式是preferred。
39. The shopping mall is ________ (在……之内) walking distance of my home.
【答案】
within
【解析】
【详解】句意:这家购物中心就在我家步行可达的范围内。within“在……之内”,within walking distance意为“在步行距离之内”。故填within。
40. Time is your most valuable resource, ________ (尤其) in exams.
【答案】
especially
【解析】
【详解】句意:时间是你最宝贵的资源,尤其是在考试中。根据中文提示“尤其”以及空格位置在逗号之后、介词短语之前,应填入副词especially表示“特别是”。故填especially。
B)用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。
41. What is the key to ________ (develop) high-tech industries in a city?
【答案】
developing
【解析】
【详解】句意:一个城市发展高科技产业的关键是什么?句中固定结构为the key to doing sth.,意为“做某事的关键”,其中的to是介词,后面需要接动名词形式。develop的动名词形式是developing。
42. Next time I will check my English homework much ________ (close).
【答案】
more closely
【解析】
【详解】句意:下次我会更仔细地检查我的英语作业。close在这里要修饰动词check,修饰动词必须用副词形式,close的副词是closely。句中的“much”是修饰比较级的标志词,用来加强程度,表示“……得多”,所以closely需要变成比较级more closely。
43. Everyone together with the twins ________ (make) their reading plan at the moment.
【答案】is making
【解析】
【详解】句意:大家和双胞胎此刻正在制定他们的阅读计划。句中“at the moment”为现在进行时的时间标志词,提示动作此刻正在发生,应使用现在进行时(结构:am/is/are + 动词现在分词)。同时,当主语后接“together with”短语时,谓语动词的单复数由前面的主语决定,本句主语为“Everyone”,因此be动词用“is”;“make”的现在分词形式为“making”。
44. Reading can inspire our ________ (create) and open a whole new world to us.
【答案】
creativity
【解析】
【详解】句意:阅读可以激发我们的创造力,为我们打开一个全新的世界。括号内的create是动词,而空处前面有形容词性物主代词our,形容词性物主代词后面必须接名词,所以要把create变成名词形式creativity。
45. These ________ (hero) stories and spirits will encourage us to keep moving forward in our youth.
【答案】
heroes’
【解析】
【详解】句意:这些英雄的故事和精神,将激励我们在青春岁月里不断前进。These后接复数名词,hero的复数形式是heroes。stories是名词,heroes需用所有格形式来表示“英雄的故事”,heroes的所有格形式为heroes’。故填heroes’。
六、句型(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
A)将下列句子改为同义句
46. They kept calling for help until the firemen arrived. (改为同义句)
They ________ calling for help until the firemen arrived.
【答案】
continued##went on
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们一直呼救,直到消防员赶到。keep doing sth.的同义短语常见的有continue doing sth.或go on doing sth.。原句中的谓语动词“kept”是一般过去时,因此改写后的句子谓语动词也需使用过去式。continue的过去式是continued,go on的过去式是went on。填入continued或went on均符合语法且句意不变。
47. It’s hard for us to balance study and hobbies, but we always find good ways. (改为同义句)
We ________ study and hobbies, but we always find good ways.
【答案】
have difficulty balancing##have difficulty in balancing
【解析】
【详解】句意:对我们来说,平衡学习和爱好很难,但我们总能找到好方法。原句“It’s hard for us to balance…”是固定句型“It’s + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.”,意为“对某人来说做某事是困难的”。该句型常转换为“Sb. + have difficulty (in) + doing sth.”,意为“某人做某事有困难”。主语由形式主语It变为真正的主语We。谓语动词用have(与We一致)。原句中的动词balance在have difficulty后需变为动名词形式balancing(介词in常省略)。填入have difficulty balancing或have difficulty in balancing。
。
48. We haven’t decided where we will hold the meeting. (改为同义句)
We haven’t decided ________ the meeting.
【答案】
where to hold
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们还没有决定将在哪里举行会议。“where we will hold the meeting”是宾语从句。当宾语从句的主语与主句主语一致(或泛指)时,可以将“疑问词 + 陈述语序从句”简化为“疑问词 + 动词不定式”结构。“where we will hold”简化为“where to hold”。
49. Jim has been away from his hometown for 20 years. (改为同义句)
20 years ________ since Jim ________ his hometown.
【答案】 ①. has passed ②. left
【解析】
【详解】句意:吉姆离开家乡已经20年了。原句“Jim has been away… for 20 years”是现在完成时,表示状态持续了20年。同义句通常使用“It is/has been + 时间段 + since…”结构。当主语直接是时间段时,结构变为“时间段 + has passed + since + 一般过去时从句”。主语“20 years”在此处被视为一个整体时间段,谓语动词常用单数形式,且强调对现在的影响,所以填has passed。since引导的时间状语从句需用一般过去时。原句中的延续性状态“be away”需转换为瞬间动作“leave”,其过去式为left。
50. However difficult the task is, we will manage to complete it. (改为同义句)
________ difficult the task is, we will manage to complete it.
【答案】
No matter how
【解析】
【详解】句意:无论这项任务有多难,我们都会设法完成它。改为同义句,应用短语“no matter how”,引导让步状语从句,位于句首首字母应大写。故填No matter how。
B)翻译句子
51. 苏珊和汤姆两年前结婚了。
Susan ________ Tom two years ago.
【答案】
married##got married to
【解析】
【详解】原句中“和……结婚”是关键词,表示“和……结婚”的动词为“marry”,表示“和……结婚”的短语为“get married to”。时间状语two years ago是一般过去时的标志,因此谓语动词需用过去式。marry的过去式为married,get的过去式为got。故填married/got married to。
52. 毫无疑问,这次我们将进入决赛。
________, we will get into the final this time.
【答案】
Without doubt
【解析】
【详解】原句中“毫无疑问”是关键词,表示“毫无疑问”的短语是“without doubt”,位于句首首字母需大写。故填Without doubt。
53. 西安每年都吸引许多来自国内外的游客。
Xi’an attracts many ________ every year.
【答案】
tourists from home and abroad
【解析】
【详解】原句中“来自国内外的游客”是关键词,表示“游客”的名词为“tourists”,此处表示泛指,用复数形式;表示“来自国内外”的短语为“from home and abroad”,故填tourists from home and abroad。
54. 无论你爱不爱足球,都会对“苏超”感兴趣。
________ or not, you’ll be interested in Jiangsu Football City League.
【答案】
Whether you love soccer
【解析】
【详解】原句关键词“无论你爱不爱足球”,结合“or not”可知使用搭配Whether… or not,意为“无论……还是……”,此外补全“你爱足球”,对应you love soccer。
55. 互联网应用的核心是数据。
________ an Internet application is data.
【答案】
The core of
【解析】
【详解】原句中“……的核心”是关键词,“……的核心”对应的英文为the core of,位于句首时首字母大写。故填The core of。
七、阅读填空(共20小题,每小题1分,满分20分)
A)
阅读短文,根据所读内容,在文章后面表格里的相应空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。
Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. I never believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, he held up his new book. He had published more than 100 bestsellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves”. It describes how people’s future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal.
Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn’t share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals.
Finally, get advice from the people who you haven’t spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely to offer it than those closest to you. So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.

【66题详解】
句意:中国园林是中国传统文化与艺术的一种特殊形式。结合前文提到的“中国园林”这一文化载体,以及首字母“f”,应填form,意为“形式”,是名词,a后接单数名词,与“传统文化与艺术”搭配,说明园林是文化艺术的呈现形式。
【67题详解】
句意:在中国园林的入口处,通常会有一块巨石或一堵墙来遮挡视线。结合生活常识,中国园林的入口常设置障景,这是一种常见的造景手法,结合首字母“u”,应填usually,意为“通常”,是副词,用来描述这种常见的造景方式。
【68题详解】
句意:这是为了给你一种压抑的感觉,以便当你转过厅堂看到令人惊叹的假山和大湖时,能产生意想不到的惊喜。结合上下文逻辑,前文提到“给你一种压抑的感觉”,后文描述“转过厅堂看到美景”,前后是时间先后的逻辑关系,结合首字母“w”,应填when,意为“当……的时候”,是连词,引导时间状语从句。
【69题详解】
句意:最好的例子就是颐和园。结合前文介绍中国园林的造景特点,后文提到“颐和园”这一具体的园林实例,结合首字母“e”,应填example,意为“例子”,是名词,谓语是is,所以the后接单数名词,用来具体说明前文提到的造景手法的应用。
【70题详解】
句意:假山在中式园林的设计中扮演着重要的角色。结合后文提到“没有它们,园林就不能被称为中式园林”,说明假山是园林设计的核心元素,结合首字母“d”,应填 design,意为“设计”,是名词,the后接名词,构成“园林的设计”这一语境。
【71题详解】
句意:它们对于中式园林的重要性,就如同雕塑对于欧式园林一样。结合后文“雕塑对于欧式园林的意义”,前后形成类比,说明假山对中式园林的不可或缺性,结合首字母“i”,应填important,意为“重要的”,是形容词,构成固定搭配as important to...as...,表示“对……和对……一样重要”,与语境中假山的核心地位完全契合。
【72题详解】
句意:中国园林设计师使用了“镜中借景”的方法来营造空间感。结合后文提到的“用镜子反射景色”这一造景技巧,结合首字母“m”,应填method,意为“方法”,是名词,the后接名词,指代前文提到的营造空间感的造景方式。
【73题详解】
句意:一面镜子挂在窗户对面,用来映照室外的景色。结合前文“镜中借景”的手法,镜子反射的是窗外的景色,结合首字母“o”,应填outside,意为“外面的”,是形容词,修饰名词scenery,说明景色的来源。
【74题详解】
句意:无论游客在哪里,整个花园都会被映照在镜子里。结合前文“镜子映照景色”,说明花园会被游客看到(映照在镜中),结合首字母“s”,应填seen,意为“被看到/映照”,是动词的过去分词,构成被动语态be seen,表示花园被镜子反射出来、被游客看到。
【75题详解】
