1. —Wu Yu, do Chinese people celebrate ________ Easter Day?
—No. This is my first time to celebrate ________ festival.
A. the; a B. /; the C. the; the
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——吴宇,中国人庆祝复活节吗?——不。这是我第一次庆祝这个节日。
the定冠词,表示特指;a不定冠词,表示泛指;/不填。第一空“Easter Day”是专有名词,前不加冠词;第二空特指前文提到的节日,用定冠词the。故选B。
2. We are so tired that we’re all ________ the idea of taking a half day off today.
A. against B. with C. for
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们太累了,以至于我们都赞成今天请半天假的想法。
against反对;with和……一起;for赞成,支持。根据“We are so tired”可知,因为太累,所以应该是支持休息的想法,be for the idea表示“赞成这个想法”。故填for。
3. —The clay pig looks cute. Where did you get it?
—I made it ________.
A. itself B. myself C. himself
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这个泥猪看起来很可爱。你在哪里得到它的?——我自己做的。
itself它自己;myself我自己;himself他自己。根据答语主语“I”可知,反身代词应与主语人称保持一致,表示“我亲自做的”,应用myself。
4. ________ creative children the winners are at the science fair!
A. How B. What C. What a
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:科学展览上的获胜者是多么有创造力的孩子们啊!
中心词children是名词复数,应用What引导感叹句,且复数名词前不加a/an。结构为:What+形容词+名词复数+主语+谓语,应填What。
5. After she stepped out of the school and started to work three years ago, she ________ a busy life very soon.
A. was used to living B. was used to live C. used to live
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:她三年前走出学校开始工作后,很快就习惯了过着忙碌的生活。
used to do sth.表示过去常常做某事;be used to doing sth.表示习惯于做某事;be used to do sth.表示被用来做某事。根据“After she stepped out of the school and started to work”及“very soon”可知,此处指工作后很快适应了忙碌的生活,应用be used to doing结构,且时态为一般过去时。应填was used to living。
6. The poem Ode to the Plum Blossom (卜算子·咏梅) ________ into English by Xu Yuanchong in 1986.
A. translated B. is translated C. was translated
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:诗歌《卜算子·咏梅》于 1986 年被许渊冲翻译成英文。
主语The poem与动词translate之间是被动关系,需用被动语态(be + done);根据时间状语“in 1986”可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。主语为单数,be动词用was。应填was translated。
7. —The speakers at the speech spoke so excitedly, didn’t they?
—______. They made me feel I can achieve any goal I’ve made!
A. Yes, they did. B. No, they didn’t. C. Yes, they were.
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——演讲者们在演讲时讲得如此激动人心,不是吗?——是的,他们讲得很激动人心。他们让我觉得我可以实现我所设定的任何目标。
考查反意疑问句。根据“didn’t they?”可知,回复时也应借助助动词did,排除选项C;由于句子为反意疑问句,其回答要根据事实来回答,根据“They made me feel I can achieve any goal I’ve made!”可知,演讲得很激动人心,故此处应用肯定回答,即Yes, they did。故选A。
8. It is believed that the antiques (文物) in the British Museum will surely ________ to China one day.
A. have been given back B. give back C. be given back
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:人们相信大英博物馆里的文物总有一天肯定会被归还给中国。
主语the antiques与动词give back“归还”之间是被动关系,且空前有will,后接动词原形,构成一般将来时的被动语态will be done结构。应填be given back。
9. —Could you tell me ________?
—Well, the ice-cream shop across the street is better. Sometimes it’s hard to open a website in this supermarket.
A. when the ice-cream shop will open
B. which ice-cream shop has a better taste
C. where I can use fast free Wi-Fi
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我哪里可以使用快速免费Wi-Fi吗?——嗯,街对面的冰淇淋店更好。有时候在这个超市里很难打开一个网页。
A选项when the ice-cream shop will open意为“冰淇淋店什么时候开门”;B选项which ice-cream shop has a better taste意为“哪家冰淇淋店味道更好”;C选项where I can use fast free Wi - Fi意为“我可以在哪里使用快速免费的Wi - Fi”。根据答句中“Sometimes it’s hard to open a website in this supermarket.”可知,说话人是在询问网络相关的问题,也就是想知道哪里可以用快速免费的Wi-Fi,而不是询问冰淇淋店的开门时间或者口味,所以选C。
10. I wonder ________ my classmate will be different. We haven’t seen each other since we went to high school.
A. when B. how C. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我想知道我的同学会有怎样的不同。自从我们上高中后就没见过面了。
when什么时候;how怎样/如何;what什么。根据原文中的句子“We haven’t seen each other since we went to high school.”可知,因为很久没见,说话人想要了解的是老同学变化的样子或程度,即“如何”变得不同了,而不是询问时间或具体的事物,故正确答案为B。
B. 补全对话 (共5 小题;每小题2分,计 10 分)
根据对话内容,从文后选项中选择适当的选项补全对话。
C—Clara, P—Pam
C: Hi, Pam. I’m thinking about my school topic. ___11___
P: Hello, Clara. As for me, the bicycle is the most useful one among all inventions.

C. What do you think is the most useful invention?
D. Would you like to ride with me?

【答案】11. C 12. E 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了Clara和Pam关于“最有用的发明”这一话题的讨论。两人一致认为自行车是非常有用的发明,Pam还分享了自己骑行的经历,最后两人相约一起去骑行。
【11题详解】
C首先打招呼并提到自己在思考学校的话题,紧接着P回答说自己认为自行车是所有发明中最有用的。由此推断,C此处应该是在询问P关于“最有用的发明”的看法。C项“What do you think is the most useful invention?”符合语境,引出下文P的回答。
【12题详解】
P回答“It was invented in the 18th century...”,这是一个关于时间的回答。因此,C上一句应该是在询问时间。E项“When was it invented?”符合语境。
【13题详解】
P说骑行是她最喜欢的运动,随后C赞叹道“You are amazing!”。这说明P接下来描述了一件很厉害的事情。B项“I once finished the whole Tianfu Greenway and rode around Chengdu alone.”展示了高超的骑行能力,能引出C的赞叹,符合语境。
【14题详解】
P提到共享单车很流行,紧接着C回答“Sure, I’d love to.”,这通常是接受邀请的回答。D项“Would you like to ride with me?”是一个邀请,与C的回答完美衔接。
【15题详解】
C询问“When and where shall we meet?”,P需要给出具体的时间和地点。A项“What about at the school gate at 5:30 p.m.?”提供了具体的时间和地点建议,符合语境。
七、 完形填空

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了四川省因严重狗咬伤事件后,政府制定了更严格的养狗规定,旨在保障市民安全。
【16题详解】
句意:中国四川省的城市已经使他们的狗法规更严格了。
“Recently, Sichuan made headlines... due to a serious dog attack”表明发生事故后法规会变得更严格。stronger符合“更严格”之意,better“更好的”,表意不明,smaller“更小的”不合逻辑。
【17题详解】
句意:此后,政府制定的新规则要求所有狗在外面时必须戴上嘴套并拴上牵引绳。
“new rules made by the government”及“Dogs will also be required”表明规则“要求”人们遵守。required表示正式要求,called“呼唤”,let“让”,不符合句意。
【18题详解】
句意:这是为了试图减少狗咬伤的数量,这可能导致严重伤害。
“make the cities safer”表明,戴上嘴套并拴上牵引绳的目的是“减少”咬伤事件。reduce“减少”符合安全目的,keep“保持”,grow“成长”,不符合初衷。
【19题详解】
句意:狗还将被要求佩戴项圈和带有主人姓名及地址的身份证。
常识及“people who keep them”表明身份证上应是狗“主人”的信息。owner’s“主人的”符合逻辑。buyer’s“买家的”,gardener’s“园丁的”,不符合句意。
【20题详解】
句意:此外,即使有饲养者陪同,狗也不被允许进入公园。
根据“rules”及禁止性语境可知,此处指“不允许”进入。be allowed to do为固定搭配,意为“被允许做某事”,体现禁令要求。invited“邀请”,asked“询问”,不符合句意。
B

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类味蕾的分布、对辛辣食物的生理反应机制,以及味觉与嗅觉之间的密切联系。
【21题详解】
句意:它们位于舌头、口腔顶部、脸颊和喉咙深处。
根据常识及解剖学知识,味蕾除了分布在舌头表面,还广泛分布于口腔内部的其他区域,包括上颚和咽喉部位。throat意为“喉咙”,符合语境;ears意为“耳朵”,mind意为“思想/头脑”,均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:有些人喜欢吃辛辣的食物。
根据后一句“It is hot... it has a lot of pepper or spices in it.”可知,此处描述的是辛辣食物。spicy意为“辛辣的”,符合语境;sweet意为“甜的”,sour意为“酸的”,均不符合语境。
【23题详解】
句意:它很辣,因为它里面有很多胡椒或香料。
前后句之间存在因果关系,“有很多胡椒或香料”是“食物很辣”的原因。since在此处作连词,意为“因为/既然”,引导原因状语从句,符合语境;so that意为“以便/为了”,though意为“虽然”,均不符合语境。
【24题详解】
句意:当你吃它时,你嘴里的细胞会感到疼痛。
从科学角度解释,辣味其实是一种痛觉刺激,而非单纯的味觉。当受到辣椒素刺激时,神经末梢会产生痛感信号。pain意为“疼痛”,符合语境;happy意为“快乐”,excited意为“兴奋”,均不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:你的大脑随后告诉你的身体产生汗水来冷却你的嘴巴。
根据前文提到的“body thinks it is in danger”以及出汗的生理功能,出汗是为了散热降温。cool down意为“冷却/降温”,符合语境;heat up意为“加热”,freeze up意为“冻结/僵住”,均不符合语境。
【26题详解】
句意:有些人不喜欢西兰花的味道,因为他们对苦味有更多的味蕾。
根据上下文逻辑,不喜欢某种味道通常是因为对该味道更敏感或感受更强。more意为“更多的”,表示这类人拥有更多能感知苦味的受体,符合语境;fewer意为“更少的”,bigger意为“更大的”,均不符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:那些拥有更多味蕾的人更有可能成为伟大的厨师。
拥有更多味蕾意味着味觉更灵敏,能分辨更细微的味道差别,这对于从事烹饪工作是一个巨大的优势。cooks意为“厨师”,符合语境;teachers意为“老师”,doctors意为“医生”,均不符合语境。
【28题详解】
句意:味觉与其他四种感觉不同,因为它与另一种感觉——嗅觉协同工作。
根据下文“When we eat, our nose feels the food...”可知,此处指的是嗅觉。smell意为“嗅觉/气味”,符合语境;hearing意为“听觉”,touch意为“触觉”,均不符合语境。
【29题详解】
句意:这就是为什么当我们感冒时,我们无法很好地品尝味道的原因。
感冒通常伴随着鼻塞,导致嗅觉受阻,进而影响味觉体验。have a cold意为“感冒”,符合语境;hurt the mouth意为“弄伤嘴巴”,hit the face意为“打脸”,均不符合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:因此,当我们的鼻子不能正常工作时,味觉就会受到影响。
此处指鼻子functioning normally的状态被打破。properly意为“适当地/正常地”,符合语境;exactly意为“确切地”,usually意为“通常”,均不符合语境。

The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American inventors and pioneers who are memorized for inventing and building the world’s first successful airplane and making the first successful flight of a powered aircraft. They had invented the airplane. The brothers were from Dayton, Ohio, USA.
From an early age, they loved and were excellent in making things and were especially interested in bicycles. In 1892, they opened a bicycle shop together to fix and sell bicycles. But their dream was to fly. They started by studying birds in flight. They watched how birds moved their wings up and down and tested them at different angles (角度) to control their direction. The brothers used this idea to design a flying machine. They built a small wind tunnel (风洞) in their bike shop to test their designs.
In 1903, they went to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, because it had strong winds and sand to land on. The brothers spent three years testing different gliders (滑翔机) there. Finally, on 17 December, Orville flew the first powered airplane for 12 seconds over 36.5 meters. Later that day, Wilbur flew for 59 seconds over 260 meters. The brothers ‘ invention changed the world greatly. Today, millions of people travel by air every year.

【31题详解】
根据第一段第一句“The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American inventors... making the first successful flight of a powered aircraft.”可知,莱特兄弟制造了世界上第一架成功的飞机并完成了首次动力飞行。
【32题详解】
根据第二段第一句“From an early age, they loved and were excellent in making things and were especially interested in bicycles.”可知,他们从小就喜爱并擅长制造东西,特别是对自行车感兴趣。
【33题详解】
根据第二段“They built a small wind tunnel (通道) in their bike shop to test their designs.”以及第三段“In 1903, they went to Kitty Hawk...”可知,他们在自行车店里建造风洞来测试设计,但真正的试飞是在Kitty Hawk进行的,且文中未明确提及是在自行车店里“制造”飞机的全过程,更多强调的是在那里进行测试。
【34题详解】
根据第二段中间部分“They started by studying birds in flight... The brothers used this idea to design a flying machine.”可知,他们通过研究鸟类飞行,利用这个想法设计了飞行器。
【35题详解】
根据文章最后两句“The brothers’ invention changed the world greatly. Today, millions of people travel by air every year.”可知,作者列举现在每年数百万人乘飞机旅行的例子,正是为了说明莱特兄弟的发明极大地改变了世界,即发明的伟大之处。

Nowadays, air conditioning and electric fans help people beat the summer heat. But in ancient times, how did people find relief without these inventions? Some cultural items collected at the Palace Museum in Beijing can help us find how Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) royal families spent their summer days.
Summer food and drinks in the Forbidden City (紫禁城) were mainly different kinds of fruits including melons, as well as tea from around the country. When the emperors met officials (官员) or read books, they drank green tea, flower tea or milk tea. These drinks are refreshing and can provide coolness to deal with the summer heat.
Iceboxes made of wood were widely used. Lead (铅) or tin (锡) was put inside the box to let the hours longer for keeping the natural ice. Many historical materials record the royal family using such a box to keep fruits cool on hot summer days.
Summer clothes for the royals were mainly made of fabrics like yarn (纱) and silk. The materials are permeable (透风的) which keep the wearer cool. It can weigh only 50g or below.
Many features of the buildings in the Forbidden City helped relieve summer heat. The Zhizhai (支摘) window, or hung and removable window, was a great invention. The upper part can be pulled up for ventilation, while the lower part can be removed to allow more light in.
The royal family could even enjoy an air-conditioned room in ancient times. As the iceboxes often had air holes, it could be used to cool the temperature of the room.
41. How did Qing Dynasty royal families deal with the summer heat?
① They used air conditioning and electric fans.
② They drank various kinds of tea.
③ They wore summer clothes made of yarn and cotton.
④ They used iceboxes to keep food cool.
A. ①②. B. ③④. C. ②④.

46. When terrible Doksuri (台风名) hit China this summer, many soldiers went to the front line and g________ people’s safety bravely.
【答案】guarded##uarded
【解析】
【详解】句意:当可怕的台风‘杜苏芮’今年夏天袭击中国时,许多士兵奔赴前线,勇敢地守护人民的安全。首字母g,动词guard意为“保卫、守护”,描述过去发生的事,用一般过去式guarded。
47. As soon as a monkeypox case (猴痘病例) was discovered in Liaoning this July, the local government took some steps to keep the illness from s________.
【答案】(s)preading
【解析】
【详解】句意:今年7月,辽宁一发现猴痘病例,当地政府就采取了一些措施来防止疾病的传播。根据“took some steps to keep the illness from…”和首字母可推断此处表示采取措施阻止疾病的传播。spread“传播”,动词,其动名词为spreading。keep…from doing sth.“阻止……做某事”。故填(s)preading。
48. All the competitors were carefully checked before the race to make sure of f________.
【答案】fairness##airness
【解析】
【详解】句意:所有参赛者在比赛前都经过仔细检查以确保公平。结合首字母f提示,因为比赛前检查选手的目的是为了保证比赛公平,此处需要名词表示“公平竞争”或“公正性”,英文是fairness。
49. It’s reported that American businessman Elon Musk’s net assets (净资产) are about 192.3 billion dollars and the number is still i________.
【答案】increasing##ncreasing
【解析】
【详解】句意:据报道,美国企业家埃隆·马斯克的净资产约为192.3亿美元,且该数值仍在增长。句中still表示此刻正在持续的状态,结合空前be动词is,此处应用现在进行时。结合首字母提示,填入increasing。
50. I d________ that I left my wallet at home when I went to pay my bill. It’s a little embarrassing (尴尬的).
【答案】discovered##iscovered
【解析】
【详解】句意:我去付账时发现钱包忘在家里了。这有点尴尬。结合首字母d,此处表示去付账时发现钱包忘在家里了,表示“发现”,对应单词discover,句子描述过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,动词过去式discovered。
二.完成对话 (共 10小题,每小题 1 分;共 10 分)
在空格中填入适当的单词,使对话完整正确。 一空一次 (含缩写词)。
A: Hi! What are you doing? Is it a ___51___?
B: No. Recently I haven’t kept diaries any more. I’m listing something when we choose a future career (职业). You know, we are in Grade 9, we’ll go to senior high school this year. Making a future career list makes me think about this earlier.
A: Let me see. Wow, you think salary (工资) should come ___52___. There’s no doubt that making money should be ___53___. But don’t you think interest is more important? For example, if you have a job that you don’t like, you will get tired of this job quickly.
B: That sounds ___54___. I still think how much money you make shows how much your work is worth.
A: As for me, the sense of ___55___ in the job will be the happiest thing. People’s choice may be influenced by their advantages, too. Choosing a job that you are not good at is not ___56___.
B: That’s to say I should choose science in senior high school. I am good at chemistry and I always want to be a pharmacist (药剂师). What do you choose?
A: I’m not sure. I haven’t decided yet. My dad ___57___ studying architecture major (建筑学) in the future, but I am not interested in that. I love a kind of life that is full of ___58___ tasks. I hate the life that we can predict what will happen tomorrow.
B: Wow, it’s not like you. You seem quiet in your daily life.

B: You’re right.
【答案】51. diary
52. first 53. considered
54. reasonable##acceptable
55. achievement##success##satisfaction
56. wise##clever
57. suggests##suggested
58. unexpected##challenging##uncertain
59. face 60. Whatever
【解析】
【导语】本文是A和B围绕未来职业选择展开的对话。两人讨论了选择职业时应考虑的因素,如工资、兴趣、个人优势等。A更看重工作中的成就感,喜欢充满挑战的生活;B则认为工资体现工作价值,并结合自身化学优势打算学理科。最后A鼓励B,无论选择什么,只要付诸行动并坚持就能实现。
【51题详解】
A询问B在做什么,根据下文B的回答“No. Recently I haven’t kept diaries any more.”可知,A猜测B在写日记,故用“diary”与空前的“a”构成“a diary”,符合语境。
【52题详解】
根据下文A说“But don’t you think interest is more important?”可知,A对B把工资排在首位持不同意见,由此推断B认为工资应排在第一位,故用“first”表示“首先”。
【53题详解】
A承认赚钱应该被考虑到,此处为被动语态“should be + 过去分词”,故用“considered”表示“被考虑”,与下文A提出兴趣更重要形成转折对比。
【54题详解】
B听了A的观点后表示认同,认为A说得有道理,故用“reasonable(合理的)”或“acceptable(可接受的)”来回应,表示A的话听起来合理。
【55题详解】
A表达自己的观点,认为工作中的成就感/成功/满足感才是最幸福的事,故用“achievement(成就感)”或“success(成功)”或“satisfaction(满足感)”均可。
【56题详解】
A认为选择自己不擅长的工作是不明智的,故用“wise(明智的)”或“clever(聪明的)”来表达这一否定判断。
【57题详解】
A提到爸爸建议自己将来学建筑学,主语“My dad”为第三人称单数,可用一般现在时“suggests”或一般过去时“suggested”,表示“建议”。
【58题详解】
根据下文“I hate the life that we can predict what will happen tomorrow.”可知,A喜欢不可预测的生活,故用“unexpected(意想不到的)”或“challenging(有挑战性的)”或“uncertain(不确定的)”来修饰tasks,与“可预测的”形成对比。
【59题详解】
A表示自己比看起来更坚强,准备好面对未来的一切,故用“face”表示“面对”,与“all happenings”搭配。
【60题详解】
A总结鼓励:无论我们选择什么,只要现在行动并坚持就能实现,故用“whatever”引导让步状语从句,表示“无论什么”。
三.短文填空 (共 10 小题,每小题 1 分;共 10 分)
从下面方框中选出 10 个单词, 将其正确形式填入短文, 使短文意思正确通顺(每词限 用一次)。
follow great however instead mean nervous
problem question sure reason safety with
Most people follow others blindly just under the pressure of peers (同龄人) or because they feel it ___61___ to follow a large number of people. In some cases it might be right to ___62___ the crowd, but in most cases this can be a big mistake. Actually there are three ___63___ why we shouldn’t follow the crowd blindly.
Firstly, people often follow the crowd when they aren’t ___64___ about the direction they should take. This ___65___ a large number of people follow others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This makes most people move in a certain direction even if it isn’t right.
Secondly, a man who wants to be successful always hopes for others’ guidance and he usually follows the same way of most people, but the question is: Are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow others, then follow a successful person. ___66___, in real life you may only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why we shouldn’t follow the crowd.
Thirdly, most people act emotionally (冲动地) ___67___ thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re ___68___ than you, then you’ll discover that you’re taking emotional decisions you might regret later.
However, should we never follow the crowd? No, I’m not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but ___69___, I’m just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision. If you find others are right, there is no ____70____ in following them, but if you are not sure about the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly.
【答案】61. safe
62. follow 63. reasons
64. sure 65. means
66. However
67. without
68. greater
69. instead
70. problem
【解析】
【导语】本文阐述了盲目从众的弊端,提醒人们遇事理性思考,切勿盲目跟风。
【61题详解】
句意:大多数人跟风或是觉得追随大批人群会具备安全感。此处系动词后需填入形容词作表语,结合选词词义,safety对应的形容词safe可表达安全的含义,其余词汇均不符合词性与语境要求。
【62题详解】
句意:部分场景下,跟随众人的做法或许是合理的。固定搭配follow the crowd为从众,不定式结构中要用动词原形,因此选用原形follow。
【63题详解】
句意:实际上存在三点我们不能盲目从众的缘由。基数词three修饰可数名词,名词需变为复数形式,reason变形为reasons符合句意。
【64题详解】
句意:人们在无法确定前行方向时,常常会选择跟风效仿他人。be sure about是固定词组,意思是确信、有把握,填入sure符合句式搭配。
【65题详解】
句意:这就代表大量人群分辨不出对错,只会一味模仿别人。句子主语为单数概念,一般现在时里谓语动词要使用三单形式,mean变形为means适配语法规则。
【66题详解】
句意:但在现实生活中,数百人中往往仅有一个成功者。前后语句语义形成转折关系,副词However用于句首衔接转折逻辑,其余词汇无法体现该关系。
【67题详解】
句意:大多数人冲动行事,没有理智地思考。空格连接“act emotionally”与“thinking wisely”,描述人们行事时的状态,without作为介词,可后接动名词thinking表示 “没有思考”
【68题详解】
句意:倘若只因旁人比自身更加出色就盲目追随。句中出现比较级标志词than,形容词需要使用比较级形式,great变形为greater满足对比语义。
【69题详解】
句意:我并非倡导彻底拒绝从众行为,而是建议理性思考后再抉择。此处表达语义反转,instead能够体现相反态度,衔接前后不同观点。
【70题详解】
句意:如果判定他人的做法正确,跟随其脚步就不存在不妥之处。there is no problem doing为固定句式,表达做某事没有问题,选用problem匹配固定用法。
四.阅读表达 (共 10 小题,每小题 1 分;共 10 分)
A. 补全短文
根据短文的内容,从短文后的 A-F 选项中选出适当的选项补全短文。
Many people may wonder what the three Chinese astronauts’ life was like when working in space. ___71___
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. But how much they eat depends on the astronauts. A small woman astronaut often needs only about 1,900 calories (卡路里) a day, while a large man requires about 3,200 calories. ____72____
____73____ They look out of the window, enjoying the wonderful sunsets and sunrises which happen every 45 minutes. Very often, they play with their food or even play jokes on their workmates. Believe it or not, astronauts can even spend weekends, when they can watch movies, play music, read books and talk to their families.
After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep. Just like on Earth, an astronaut goes to bed at a certain time. Then he wakes up and prepares for work again. ___74___ Generally, astronauts are planned to have eight hours of sleep. Like on Earth, they may wake up in the middle of their sleep to use the toilet. ___75___ You see, they live just like us.
As for Wang Yaping, she had another experience—preparing for lessons for the Chinese students far down on Earth.
A. And astronauts also have dreams.
B. Astronauts can have much fun, too.
C. But there are a few differences. Astronauts have to sleep in sleeping bags in special cabins (柜子).
D. The astronauts can do what they want to relax.
E. So there are many kinds of foods ready, such as fruits, nuts, chicken, beef and seafood.
F. In fact, they did many of the things as we do on Earth.
【答案】71. F 72. E 73. B 74. C 75. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国宇航员在太空中的日常生活,包括饮食、娱乐和睡眠等方面的情况。
【71题详解】
第一段提到“Many people may wonder what the three Chinese astronauts’ life was like when working in space”,说明人们好奇太空生活是怎样的,空格后描述了宇航员一日三餐等具体细节,因此空格处应引出“他们做的事和地球上相似”。F项“In fact, they did many of the things as we do on Earth”符合上下文逻辑。
【72题详解】
第二段提到女宇航员每天需要约1900卡路里,男宇航员需要约3200卡路里,说明食量不同,空格后应解释如何满足不同需求。E项“So there are many kinds of foods ready, such as fruits, nuts, chicken, beef and seafood”符合上下文逻辑。
【73题详解】
第三段空格后描述了宇航员看窗外风景、玩食物、开玩笑、周末看电影、听音乐、读书、和家人通话等行为,这些都属于娱乐放松活动。B项“Astronauts can have much fun, too”符合上下文逻辑。
【74题详解】
第四段前文提到宇航员按时睡觉、醒来继续工作,空格后提到宇航员计划睡八小时,中间应说明睡眠方式与地球的不同之处。C项“But there are a few differences. Astronauts have to sleep in sleeping bags in special cabins (柜子)”符合上下文逻辑。
【75题详解】
第四段前文提到宇航员可能半夜醒来上厕所,空格后说“You see, they live just like us”,说明宇航员和地球人一样也有做梦等睡眠体验。A项“And astronauts also have dreams”符合上下文逻辑。
B. 完成表格。(共5小题,每小题1分;计5分)
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容, 完成表格中所缺的信息。
Wilderness survival (野外生存) skills were commonly used in the past, but in modern society, they are uncommon. In modern times, we’re doing more brain work and less physical labor (劳动). This change in lifestyle is clear in our bodies. According to a recent research by Cambridge University, men farmers 7,300 years ago had legs as strong as the best Olympic players. But 3,000 years later, their legs were never that strong. People living in ancient times were also very tall. However, people living today can never compare with them in this.
Teachers at a school in New Zealand think this might be a problem. What if climate change or natural disasters (灾难) cause us to live like ancient people? Students in the Deep Green Bush School go outdoors and learn how to fish, hunt, cook over an open fire and learn about plants and animals.
Teachers and students at the school believe that if you can survive in the wilderness, you can survive anywhere. But are these wilderness survival skills really needed? After all, most of us live in a modern world.
The reason why most of us don’t learn ancient survival skills is that we don’t need them anymore. “In a modern society, there are a lot of skills to be developed to succeed, and perhaps only some of those can be developed outside,” said David Berg at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Modern life requires us to learn other things, such as how to find a job, drive a car or speak a foreign language.
Time and the development of society decide what survival skills people need to learn. However, one can never have too many skills (技多不压身). So why not learn some wilderness survival skills? At the very least, you will learn more about nature and yourself.
Learn Survival Skills Both Old and New
A case at the Deep Green Bush School
The students take ___76___ and learn how to survive in the wild.
The school classes can ___77___ for climate change or other disasters.
To question the idea of learning old skills
Our body conditions
We are ___78___ and 3 than our ancestors.
We can never compare with our ancestors in terms of physical power.
Today’s social requirement
Our survival skills have more to do with our ___79___.
The modern world asks us to learn other things.
The ___80___
Wilderness survival skills are seldom used in modern times but it’s helpful to learn some.
【答案】76. outdoor classes
77. prepare students
78. shorter; weaker
79. brains 80. writer’s opinion
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了野外生存技能在现代社会中的地位,通过新西兰Deep Green Bush学校的案例,对比了现代人与祖先在体能上的差异,并探讨了现代人是否仍需学习野外生存技能,最终建议人们学习一些此类技能。
【76题详解】
文章第二段明确指出“Students in the Deep Green Bush School go outdoors and learn how to fish, hunt, cook over an open fire and learn about plants and animals.”,题干将“go outdoors”同义转换为“take outdoor classes”,且与“learn how to survive in the wild”并列,因此第一空应填“outdoor classes”。
【77题详解】
文章第二段中教师们思考“What if climate change or natural disasters cause us to live like ancient people?”,随后学生们通过户外课程学习生存技能。题干表达学校课程能为气候变化或灾难做准备,“prepare students for...”意为“为学生准备……以应对……”,与原文逻辑一致,因此第二空应填“prepare students”。
【78题详解】
文章第一段末尾指出“People living in ancient times were also very tall. However, people living today can never compare with them in this.”,说明现代人比祖先矮;同时第一段中“men farmers 7,300 years ago had legs as strong as the best Olympic players. But 3,000 years later, their legs were never that strong.”说明现代人比祖先弱。题干中“than”提示需用比较级,因此第三空应填“shorter; weaker”。
【79题详解】
文章第一段明确指出“In modern times, we‘re doing more brain work and less physical labor”,第四段也提到现代生活要求我们学习“how to find a job, drive a car or speak a foreign language”等技能,可知现代生存技能更多与大脑(脑力)相关,因此第四空应填“brains”。
【80题详解】
文章最后一段“However, one can never have too many skills. So why not learn some wilderness survival skills? At the very least, you will learn more about nature and yourself.”是作者对是否学习野外生存技能的个人看法和建议,概括的是全文的观点性结论,因此第五空应填“writer’s opinion”。

Wilderness survival (野外生存) skills were commonly used in the past, but in modern society, they are uncommon. In modern times, we’re doing more brain work and less physical labor (劳动). This change in lifestyle is clear in our bodies. According to a recent research by Cambridge University, men farmers 7,300 years ago had legs as strong as the best Olympic players. But 3,000 years later, their legs were never that strong. People living in ancient times were also very tall. However, people living today can never compare with them in this.
Teachers at a school in New Zealand think this might be a problem. What if climate change or natural disasters (灾难) cause us to live like ancient people? Students in the Deep Green Bush School go outdoors and learn how to fish, hunt, cook over an open fire and learn about plants and animals.
Teachers and students at the school believe that if you can survive in the wilderness, you can survive anywhere. But are these wilderness survival skills really needed? After all, most of us live in a modern world.
The reason why most of us don’t learn ancient survival skills is that we don’t need them anymore. “In a modern society, there are a lot of skills to be developed to succeed, and perhaps only some of those can be developed outside,” said David Berg at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Modern life requires us to learn other things, such as how to find a job, drive a car or speak a foreign language.
Time and the development of society decide what survival skills people need to learn. However, one can never have too many skills (技多不压身). So why not learn some wilderness survival skills? At the very least, you will learn more about nature and yourself.
Learn Survival Skills Both Old and New
A case at the Deep Green Bush School
The students take ___76___ and learn how to survive in the wild.
The school classes can ___77___ for climate change or other disasters.

We can never compare with our ancestors in terms of physical power.

The modern world asks us to learn other things.
The ___80___
Wilderness survival skills are seldom used in modern times but it’s helpful to learn some.
