【21题详解】
句意:后来我在上楼的时候,听见Kevin正在房间里哭。
hear sb. doing sth.是固定搭配,表示“听见某人正在做某事”,crying“哭”符合语法与语境。cried(过去式),to cry(不定式),cries(三单)均不符合搭配。
【22题详解】

People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic. The following ideas may sound simple, but they can really help you.
Exercise when you are tired.

Write by hand to help the brain (大脑) be active.
Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. When you read handwritten text, naturally it’s easier for your brain to remember the information.

By sparing the time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won’t behave impulsively (冲动地).
Drink hot drinks on a hot day.
What cools more on a hot summer morning, cold water or hot water? The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler. When you are drinking something hot, the body will feel the change in temperature and perspire (流汗), which helps you cool down!
31. Exercising can make you feel good after a tiring day.

When you travel in Chengdu, never miss the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill? Let’s learn something about it.
Face-changing is an unique skill in Sichuan Opera, one Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan. It is also a very lively way to show the thoughts and feelings of different characters of the play.
It is widely believed that the skill of face-changing could date back to ancient times. To scare away the dangerous animals and protect themselves, the ancient people painted their faces in different colors, making themselves look scary. Later, it developed into a famous art form.
Generally speaking, there are three kinds of skills of face-changing, including wiping (擦) the face, blowing the face and pulling the face. Besides, breathing is another skill of face-changing, but few people know it.
Before performing the skill of wiping the face, the performer will first spread some special paint on the face. Then he could change the color of his face in a second by wiping it. When the actors perform the skill of blowing the face, he blows a small box full of cosmetic powders (化妆粉) which is placed on the stage. And then the powders are blown to his face, changing the color into another. The skill pulling the face is more difficult. Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial makeups which is tied with a thin thread (线). The performer must do the movements carefully and very quickly. This skill master Peng Denghuai changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. This was his latest Guinness World record.

B.根据句意完成句子。(共 5小题;每小题2 分,共10分)
56. I have already cleared out the old books from my bedroom.(改为否定句)
I ________ cleared out the old books from my bedroom ________.
【答案】 ①. haven’t ②. yet
【解析】
【详解】句意:我已经把卧室里的旧书清理掉了。原句是现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”,变否定句时在助动词have后加not,缩写为haven’t。肯定句中的副词already在变为否定句时,通常改为yet,并置于句末。故填haven’t;yet。
57. The population of Chongqing is more than 30 million. (对划线部分提问)
________ the population of Chongqing?
【答案】What’s
【解析】
【详解】句意: 重庆的人口超过3000万。分析句子可知, 划线部分“more than 30 million”表示数量,对人口数量提问应用“what”;询问某地人口多少的固定句型为“What is the population of...?”。因为population是单数,且句子为一般现在时,be动词用is,本题只有一个空,所以what和is要缩写,且此时位于句首,what的首字母要大写。
58. She’d like to read electronic books in her spare time. (改为一般疑问句)
________ she ________ to read electronic books in her spare time?
【答案】 ①. Would ②. like
【解析】
【详解】句意:她想要在空余时间看电子书。原句中的“’d like”原形为would like,改为一般疑问句时,把情态动词would提到句首,首字母要大写,主语she后接动词原形。故填Would;like。
59. Do you know whose the bike is?(改为同义句)
Do you know ________ the bike ________ to?
【答案】 ①. who ②. belongs
【解析】
【详解】句意:你知道自行车是谁的吗?此处可改为“你知道自行车属于谁吗”,用who引导宾语从句,belong to“属于”,句子用一般现在时,主语是名词单数,谓语动词用单三。故填who;belongs。
60. 不管将成功还是失败,我们都必须尽力而为。(完成译句)
________ we will succeed ________ fail, we have to try our best.
【答案】 ①. Whether ②. or
【解析】
【详解】whether ... or表示“无论是……还是……”,用于表示两种可能性中的哪一种并不重要;whether位于句首,首字母大写。故填Whether;or。

People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic. The following ideas may sound simple, but they can really help you.
Exercise when you are tired.
After a long and tiring day of study, exercising might not sound like a good idea, but it should. In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy (能量). Research shows that exercising for just 30 minutes can make you feel good!
Write by hand to help the brain (大脑) be active.
Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. When you read handwritten text, naturally it’s easier for your brain to remember the information.
Spare (留出) more time for yourself.
By sparing the time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won’t behave impulsively (冲动地).
Drink hot drinks on a hot day.
What cools more on a hot summer morning, cold water or hot water? The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler. When you are drinking something hot, the body will feel the change in temperature and perspire (流汗), which helps you cool down!
31. Exercising can make you feel good after a tiring day.
32. You should spend more time alone because it is helpful to develop your independent thinking.
33. Drinking hot water on a hot day is a good way to cool down in summer.

35. The passage provides us with four useful ideas to keep healthy.
When you travel in Chengdu, never miss the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill? Let’s learn something about it.
Face-changing is an unique skill in Sichuan Opera, one Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan. It is also a very lively way to show the thoughts and feelings of different characters of the play.
It is widely believed that the skill of face-changing could date back to ancient times. To scare away the dangerous animals and protect themselves, the ancient people painted their faces in different colors, making themselves look scary. Later, it developed into a famous art form.
Generally speaking, there are three kinds of skills of face-changing, including wiping (擦) the face, blowing the face and pulling the face. Besides, breathing is another skill of face-changing, but few people know it.
Before performing the skill of wiping the face, the performer will first spread some special paint on the face. Then he could change the color of his face in a second by wiping it. When the actors perform the skill of blowing the face, he blows a small box full of cosmetic powders (化妆粉) which is placed on the stage. And then the powders are blown to his face, changing the color into another. The skill pulling the face is more difficult. Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial makeups which is tied with a thin thread (线). The performer must do the movements carefully and very quickly. This skill master Peng Denghuai changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. This was his latest Guinness World record.
Do you like this traditional skill?
36. Why did the ancient people paint their faces?
A. To make their faces colorful and beautiful.
B. To develop the famous art form.
C. To scare away the dangerous animals and protect themselves.
37. What does the underlined word “unique” mean in Chinese?
A. 独特的 B. 生动的 C. 著名的
38. How many skills of face-changing are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five.
39. What do the performers need to do first when they perform the pulling skill of face-changing?
A. They need to spread some special paint on the face first.
B. They need to blow a small box full of cosmetic powders.
C. They need to tie the pieces of the facial makeups with a thin thread.
40. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Face-changing Performers
B. The Traditional Skill in Sichuan Opera
C. Intangible Cultural Heritages — Sichuan Opera
