the定冠词,表示特指;an一个(元音音素前),表示泛指,;a一个(辅音音素前),表示泛指;/不填。此处表示泛指“一个字母r”,字母“r”的发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an。

except除……之外(不包括在内);besides除……之外(包括在内);beside在……旁边;including包括。根据后句“because she was ill”可知,莉莉生病了,没有参加露营,因此她是不包括在内的,应填except。

A. everything B. something C. nothing D. anything
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:冰箱里几乎没有什么东西了。我们现在去超市吧。
everything一切事物;something某事/某物;nothing没有什么;anything任何事物。根据后句“Let’s go to the supermarket now.”可知,需要去购物,说明冰箱里几乎空了。

A. far quicker B. more quicker C. far quickly D. much more quickly

10. I will phone you ________ in the evening.
A. sometime B. sometimes C. some time D. some times
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我将在晚上的某个时候给你打电话。

12. Jack wanted to go hiking last Sunday. Finally, he had to give up the plan.
A. At the end B. By the end C. On the end D. In the end

A. look up B. to look it up C. look it up D. to look up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:你最好查阅百科全书里的信息。
had better后接动词原形,排除带to的选项B和D;look up意为“查阅”,句中the information作宾语,若选C会造成宾语重复(it与the information),应填look up。
16. With the footprints ________ behind by him, the police found the lost boy.
A. leaving B. followed C. standing D. left
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:随着他留下的脚印,警察找到了那个失踪的男孩。
leaving留下(现在分词);followed跟随(过去分词/过去式);standing站立(现在分词);left留下(过去分词/过去式)。根据“with the footprints...by him”可知,脚印与动词之间是被动关系,leave behind是固定搭配,意为“留下”,应用过去分词作宾补。

A. look like B. are look like C. looked like D. liked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:过了一会儿,高克的朋友们跳了进来。他们看起来像袋鼠。
look like看起来像,动词短语;like像,介词。根据前句谓语动词hopped为过去式,可知句子时态为一般过去时,排除A、B选项。结合句意,此处描述朋友们的样子“像”袋鼠,且处于谓语位置,应填looked like。
18. My pen pal from America is coming to visit me. I’m thinking about ________.

C. how I will give her a surprise D. which place shall we visit
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的美国笔友要来看我。我正在考虑我将如何给她一个惊喜。
宾语从句需要使用陈述语序,即“连接词+主语+谓语”。A项did I give、B项will we have、D项shall we visit均为疑问语序;只有C项I will give为陈述语序。

Thank you all the same.仍然感谢你;Sorry, I won't.对不起,我不会了;Here you are, thank you.给你,谢谢;Fishing is my hobby.钓鱼是我的爱好。根据上文“You are not allowed to fish here.”可知,这是一个禁止性的提示,听话者应礼貌道歉并承诺不再做。

Ⅳ. Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms:(共8分)
28. It is usually ________ to watch too many videos on the phone. (harm)
【答案】
harmful
【解析】
【详解】句意:在手机上看太多视频通常是有害的。句中“It”为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to watch too many videos on the phone。“It is+形容词+to do sth.”为固定句型,意为“做某事是……的”。此处需要用形容词形式作表语,harm的形容词形式为harmful。故填harmful。
29. My sister felt even ________ after taking some medicine. (bad)
【答案】
worse
【解析】
【详解】句意:我妹妹吃完药后感觉更不舒服了。原句中even是关键词,它用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级,用来加强语气表示“更、甚至”,所以要把bad变成比较级worse。
30. He’ll ________ get the first prize because he is so good at English.(possible)
【答案】
possibly
【解析】
【详解】句意:他很可能会获得一等奖,因为他英语非常好。句中需要单词修饰后面的实义动词get,要使用副词形式,possible的副词形式是possibly,位于助动词will和实义动词get之间,符合英语中副词的位置规则。故填possibly。
31. How the people in war wish to live together in ________!(peaceful)
【答案】
peace
【解析】
【详解】句意:战争中的人们多么希望能和平地生活在一起!根据括号内的提示词peaceful和短语live together in可知,此处考查固定搭配in peace,意为“和平地”,用来修饰动词短语live together。peaceful是形容词,对应的名词形式为peace。
32. Today we’re celebrating my grandpa’s ________ birthday. (fifty-nine)
【答案】
fifty-ninth
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天我们正在庆祝我祖父的五十九岁生日。原句中“birthday”和括号里的“fifty-nine”是关键词,这里要表达“第五十九个生日”,需用序数词;fifty-nine的序数词形式是fifty-ninth,故填fifty-ninth。
33. Though he drives very fast, he drives ________ enough.(care)
【答案】
carefully
【解析】
【详解】句意:虽然他开得很快,但他开车足够小心。动词drives需要副词来修饰,提示词care的副词形式是carefully,意为“小心地”,符合语境和语法要求,故填carefully。
34. I bought a closet in ________, but I found it difficult to put them together. (piece)
【答案】
pieces
【解析】
【详解】句意:我买了一个零件组装的衣柜,但发现很难把它们拼起来。根据固定搭配in pieces表示“零件形式、碎块”,结合提示词piece,需变为复数形式pieces,符合语境和语法要求,故填pieces。
35. After a whole day’s hard work, Tina felt very tired and fell ________. (sleep)

Your brother hurt his ankle in the football game, ________ ________?
【答案】 ①.
didn’t ②.
he
【解析】
【详解】句意:你哥哥在足球比赛中伤了脚踝。原句“Your brother hurt his ankle in the football game.”是一般过去时的肯定陈述句,主语“your brother”是男性第三人称单数,反意疑问句遵循“前肯后否”的原则,需用一般过去时的否定形式“didn’t”,主语用代词“he”指代。故填didn’t;he。
37. Peter will go shopping after he finishes his homework.(保持句意不变)
Peter ________ go shopping ________ he finishes his homework.
【答案】 ①.
won’t ②.
until##till
【解析】
【详解】句意:彼得做完作业后会去购物。原句可以用“not…until…”结构改写,意为“直到……才……”。原句为一般将来时,否定形式可用“won’t”;引导词可用“until”或“till”;从句中动词可用“finishes”或“has finished”,均符合语法且与原句意思相同。
38. She sat on the roof so that she could see the wonderful view.(保持句意不变)
She sat on the roof ________ ________ to see the wonderful view.
【答案】 ①.
in ②.
order
【解析】
【详解】句意:她坐在屋顶上,以便能看到美景。原句中的“so that”表示“以便、为了”,引导目的状语从句,与“in order to”意思相同,因此可以用“in order to”来替换“so that she could”,其他部分保持不变,以保持句意不变。

________ ________ you approaching the door?
【答案】 ①.
How ②.
were
【解析】
【详解】句意:你们当时是怎样小心翼翼地靠近那扇门的?原句中划线部分“carefully”是副词,表示方式,对方式提问需用疑问词“How”;原句时态为过去进行时,变疑问句时需将助动词“were”提到主语前,同时第一人称“We”要变为第二人称“you”。故填How;were。
40. will, another story, tell, the captain, us, about his adventure (连词成句)
________________________________________________________________________________?
【答案】
Will the captain tell us another story about his adventure
【解析】
【详解】根据单词中的“will”和句末问号可知,这是一个一般将来时的一般疑问句,需将助动词“will”置于句首;主语为“the captain”,谓语动词用原形“tell”,构成“tell sb. sth. about sth.”的结构,即“tell us another story about his adventure”。故连成句子为Will the captain tell us another story about his adventure。

What Do Astronauts Eat in Space?
Before you go camping for over a week with your friends, you prepare plenty of food and all the stuff you need to cook and eat with. You keep the food properly during your whole trip.
Astronauts basically do the ____47____ thing when they go to space. They prepare a variety of food. The astronauts can eat some food in their natural ____48____, such as brownies and fruits. However, with other food, such as cheese and spaghetti (意大利面), they have to add water. Of course, there is an oven in the spaceship to heat food.
Astronauts eat ____49____ meal (s) a day, just like people on the Earth. The meals provide them with enough nutrients (营养). There’re many types of foods an astronaut can choose from, such as fruits, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, beef and seafood. To make meals taste better, astronauts use condiments (调味品), too. But all the condiments are liquid, ____50____ salt and pepper. This is because if astronauts sprinkled (撒)salt and pepper on their food in space, it would float away, make air ____51____ and even get into an astronaut’s eyes, mouth or nose!
While having a space meal, what do astronauts have for a drink? They have a lot of ____52____, such as coffee, tea, orange juice and lemonade.

50. A. instead of B. even C. as well as D. except
51. A. dirty B. fresh C. heavy D. comfortable
52. A. parts B. services C. choices D. answers
【答案】47. D 48. C 49. C 50. B 51. A 52. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了宇航员在太空中的饮食情况。他们像去露营一样准备各种食物,每天吃三顿饭,有多种饮品可选。为防止粉末飘走,太空中的调味品甚至盐和胡椒都是液体的。
【47题详解】
句意:宇航员去太空时基本上做同样的事情。
根据前文“Before you go camping... you prepare plenty of food...”和后文“They prepare a variety of food.”可知,宇航员去太空和人们去露营一样,都要提前准备大量食物,做的是相同的事情。right正确的,best最好的,first第一的,均不符合语境。
【48题详解】
句意:宇航员可以吃一些自然形态的食物,比如布朗尼和水果。
根据“such as brownies and fruits”以及后文“with other food... they have to add water”可知,布朗尼和水果是保持其原本自然的形态,而其他食物需要加水改变形态。way方式,ability能力,environment环境,均不符合题意。
【49题详解】
句意:宇航员一天吃三顿饭,就像地球上的人一样。
根据“just like people on the Earth”可知,地球上的人通常一天吃三顿饭,所以宇航员的饮食规律也是一天吃三顿。one一,two二,four四,均不符合语境。
【50题详解】
句意:但是所有的调味品都是液体的,甚至盐和胡椒也是。
根据常识,盐和胡椒通常是固体的,但后文解释了粉末在太空中会飘走,所以为了安全,连盐和胡椒在太空中也被做成了液体,此处使用even表示强调和递进。instead of代替,as well as也,和,except除了,均不符合逻辑。
【51题详解】
句意:这是因为如果宇航员在太空中把盐和胡椒撒在食物上,它们会飘走,弄脏空气,甚至进入宇航员的眼睛、嘴巴或鼻子里!
根据“float away”和“get into an astronaut’s eyes, mouth or nose”可知,调味粉末飘在空中会污染空气,使空气变脏。fresh新鲜的,heavy重的,comfortable舒适的,均不符合语境。
【52题详解】
句意:他们有很多选择,比如咖啡、茶、橙汁和柠檬水。
根据后文“such as coffee, tea, orange juice and lemonade”可知,这里列举了多种不同的饮品,说明宇航员在喝的方面有很多选择。parts部分,services服务,answers答案,均不符合句意。

As a child, I was very afraid of darkness. Perhaps it was because things looked and sounded strange to me at night. In my room, there was never complete darkness. There was always a street light or some car lights. These lights made the cloth on the back of my chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I also saw the curtains seem to move while there was no wind. A very soft sound would be a hundred times l____53____ in the dark. My imagination would run wild and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still on my bed so that the “monster” would not d____54____ me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get l____55____, especially on my way home from school. Every morning, I took the school bus. The bus stop was near my home, so that was not a problem. After school, however, all the buses were lined up along the street. I was afraid that I would get on the w____56____ bus and be taken to a place I had never been to!
Perhaps the worst fear I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being p____57____ was so important to me then.
Growing up, I have been able to overcome (克服)many of these fears. I think u____58____ the things that scared (使恐惧)us when we were children is important. It helps us achieve success later in life.

Read the passage and answer the questions:
Eating Noodles Aloud!
Japan is a nation that values good manners and the qualities of being quiet. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp, slurping (发出啧啧声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can help the noodles cool down and taste better. It’s also considered to be a way to show one’s enjoyment of the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression—“noodle harassment (骚扰)”—came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly (无线地) to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone. Then the phone will play a more pleasant sound over the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India’s culture, just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp,” wrote a Japanese food blogger (博主). “If anyone is unhappy with you doing that, just ignore them. They’re totally missing the point.”
59. Why do Japanese slurp when they are having noodles?
____________________________________________________________________________________
60. When did Japanese people find that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable?
____________________________________________________________________________________
61. How can the electric fork cancel out the slurping noise?
____________________________________________________________________________________
62. It is encouraged in Indian culture to eat with forks, isn’t it?
____________________________________________________________________________________
63. What does the underlined phrase “missing the point” in the last sentence mean?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
64. What is your opinion on the food blogger’s advice?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】59.
Because they believe it can help the noodles cool down and taste better, and it is also a way to show their enjoyment of the dish.
60.
It was not until a new expression “noodle harassment” came out on social media that they realized the problem.
61.
When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork sends a signal to the phone, which then plays a more pleasant sound over the slurping noise.
62.
No, it isn’t. In India, people eat with their hands, not forks.
63.
It means failing to understand the true meaning or purpose.
64.
I think the advice is reasonable. Dining traditions vary from culture to culture, and it’s important to respect local customs. While we should be considerate of others, we also shouldn’t completely ignore the cultural meaning behind certain behaviors.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了日本吃面出声的文化背景、引发的争议及相关应对,同时探讨了不同国家用餐礼仪的差异。
【59题详解】
第二段指出“It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can help the noodles cool down and taste better. It’s also considered to be a way to show one’s enjoyment of the dish.”,日本人吃面出声,一是为了让面条降温、口感更好,二是表达对食物的喜爱。
【60题详解】
第三段指出“It was not until a new expression—“noodle harassment”—came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.”,直到社交媒体上出现“面骚扰”这一说法,日本人才意识到这个问题。
【61题详解】
第四段指出“When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone. Then the phone will play a more pleasant sound over the slurping noise.”,当使用者发出吃面声时,叉子会向手机发送信号,手机播放更悦耳的声音掩盖吃面声。
【62题详解】
第五段指出“In India, people eat with their hands.”,印度文化中鼓励用手吃饭,而非用叉子。
【63题详解】
根据上下文,博主认为吃面出声是日本文化的一部分,不理解这一点的人就是没领会到这种文化的意义。因此“missing the point”意为 “没领会到重点/没理解意义”。
【64题详解】
本题是开放性问题,根据自身情况作答即可。
