How long 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你哥哥多久使用一次互联网？——一周一次。 How often用于提问频率；How soon用于提问将来时间；How many用于提问数量；How long用于提问时间段或长度。根据答语“Once a week.”可知，此处是对频率进行提问。结合语境，应用How often。 2. The girl _____ short hair is my sister. A. has B. have C. with D. on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：有短头发的女孩是我的妹妹。 has和have是动词，意为“有”，在句中作谓语，而题干已有谓语动词is，所以不能再用has或have；with是介词，意为“具有，带有”，with short hair表示“留着短发”，在句中作后置定语，修饰前面的名词the girl；on表示“在……上面”，不符合此处语境。所以应该用with。 3.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述青少年心理健康问题及压力来源，通过中美调查对比，给出缓解压力的建议，如积极生活、充足睡眠和远离电子产品等。 【16题详解】 句意：初中学生完全有理由这么说。 have every reason to do sth.是表示“完全有理由做某事”的固定搭配，前文提到“生活和学习对我们所有人来说都很艰难”，初中生面临学业、心理等多重挑战，完全有理由认同这一点；activity“活动”、question“问题”、dream“梦想” 均无法与“have every…to say so”构成合理搭配。 【17题详解】 句意：最近，浙江省做了一项关于青少年心理健康的调查。 后文出现了调查的具体数据和结论，因此这里的动作是“survey调查”；result“结果”、show“展示”、job“工作”均与“得出学生压力相关结论”的语境不符。 【18题详解】 句意：调查发现，浙江的初中生在青少年中感受到来自学校的最大压力。 biggest pressure意为“最大的压力”，是英语中描述压力程度的常用表达，后文提到学业排名、父母期望等，都属于学校相关的压力来源，因此用“最大的压力”；worst最差的”、easiest“最容易的”、best“最好的”均无法形容压力的大小。 【19题详解】 句意：学生们在担心什么？ 后文列举了学生的两个担忧——考试排名和达不到父母期望，因此这里用“worry about担心”引出下文的压力来源；talk about“谈论”、care about“关心”、think about“思考”均无法体现“担忧”的情绪。 【20题详解】 句意：美国心理协会最近也做了一个类似的调查。 前文提到中国的调查，这里说美国也进行了目的、主题相同的调查，因此用“similar类似的”；same“相同的”，通常前面要加定冠词the，close“接近的”、different“不同的”均不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：结果令人惊讶：在美国，青少年的压力水平比成年人更高。 通常人们认为成年人的生活压力更大，而调查显示美国青少年压力水平超过成年人，这个结果是出人意料的，因此用“surprising令人惊讶的”；relaxing“令人放松的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”、boring“无聊的”均无法体现结果的意外性。 【22题详解】 句意：对他们来说，压力最大的原因之一也是学业。 后文提到“schoolwork”是压力的来源之一，因此用“reasons原因”；matters“事情”、ideas“想法”、questions“问题”均无法与“压力的来源”对应。 【23题详解】 句意：首先，你可以过一种积极的生活。 后文提到了“每天睡9-10小时、每天锻炼、吃得好”，这些都是积极健康的生活方式，因此用“active（积极的）”；careful“仔细的”、quick“快速的”、quiet“安静的”均无法概括后文的健康建议。 【24题详解】 句意：每天找一个人一起锻炼，并且吃得好。 这里表示“找某个人一起锻炼”，someone“某人”用于指代不确定的对象，符合语境；everyone“每个人”、anyone“任何人”（多用于否定/疑问句）、no one“没有人”均不符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：如果你在它们上面花太多时间，你更有可能感到压力。 spend time on sth.是固定搭配，意为“在某事上花费时间”，主语为人，符合“花太多时间在电子设备上”的语境；pay“支付”（常与for搭配）、cost“花费”（主语为物）、take“花费”（常用it作形式主语）均不符合搭配用法。 B Who do you usually travel with, your friends or your parents? Would you like to travel by ____26____? Last weekend, I went to Verona, Italy alone. I learned some things about it on the Internet before I ____27____ it.

Because of that, China and other countries asked the museum to return these old things. At the same time, people saw a short video “Escape from the British Museum” on the Internet. The video tells us the story of how a teapot, acted by a woman, escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China. “Maybe the Chinese artefacts in the British Museum are also missing home now.” One user said on Douyin. “I hope these beautiful things will leave that museum and return their home in a dignified (有尊严的) way one day.” another user said on Weibo. 53. Why is the British Museum worth visiting according to the passage? A. Because it is in London. B. Because it is usual inside the museum. C. Because it shows many beautiful and famous artefacts. 54. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. How the short video is popular. B. What the short video talks about. C. How the teapot escape from the British Museum. 55. The underlined word “escape” means ________. A. 来自 B. 逃跑 C. 停留 56. What can we learn from the passage? A. The British Museum still keeps many artefacts from other countries. B. The police have caught Peter Higgs because he sold the artefacts. C. The short video was very popular because it showed us a beautiful teapot. 【答案】53. C 54. B 55. B 56. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大英博物馆里的文物丢失的现象。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many famous artefacts (文物) there show us the man-made beauty around the world in history.”可知，那里的许多著名文物向我们展示了历史上世界各地的人造美景。故选C。 【54题详解】 段落大意题。根据“The video tells us the story of how a teapot, acted by a woman, escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China.”可知，本段主要介绍了短视频的主要内容，故选B。 【55题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The video tells us the story of how a teapot, acted by a woman, escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China.”可知，这段视频告诉我们一个故事，一个女人扮演的茶壶如何逃离大英博物馆，找到了返回中国的路。所以escape意为“逃跑”，故选B。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Maybe the Chinese artefacts in the British Museum are also missing home now.”可知，大英博物馆仍然保存着许多其他国家的文物。故选A。 E On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo. A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team. However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.  Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules. 57. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”? A. To cross a road slowly. B. To follow the basic traffic rules. C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green. D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights. 58. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University. C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper. 59. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience? A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute. C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes. 60. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo? A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules. B. Because there are too many people on the road. C. Because the red light lasts too long. D. Because people have less patience. 【答案】57. D 58. B 59. C 60. A 【解析】 【分析】本文主要谈论“中国式过路”。中国人过马路时，只要凑够一群人，就不会考虑红绿灯。原因有二：1.乱穿马路是因为红灯持续时间太长。2. 人们无视规则。要彻底解决这个问题，每个人都应该认识到遵守交通规则的重要性。 【57题详解】 细节题。根据第1段第2句“Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd（中国人过马路不用考虑红绿灯，只要他们是人群的一部分）”可知“中国式过路”是不看红绿灯过马路。故选D。 【58题详解】 细节题。根据第3段第2和3句“Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. （同济大学的一个研究小组支持这样的观点。）The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years.（这个研究小组对人们在不同路口的等待时间进行了为期三年的研究。）”可知The team指的是同济大学的一个研究小组；故选B。 【59题详解】 细节题。根据第3段第4句“They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience.（他们发现中国人会等待70到90秒才失去耐心。）”可知中国人过马路等少于90秒（少于1分半钟）不会失去耐心；故选C。 【60题详解】 细节题。根据第4段第1句“However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules.（不过，新浪微博上的一项调查显示，人们乱穿马路主要是因为他们无视规则。”可知根据新浪微博上的调查，人们要乱穿马路原因是因为人们不太注意规则。故选A。 第三部分 写作（共两大题，满分32分） Ⅴ.单词拼写（共12小题；每小题1分，满分12分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 61.

E On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo. A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team. However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.  Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules. 57. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”? A. To cross a road slowly. B. To follow the basic traffic rules. C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green. D.
