英语试题
卷Ⅰ客观题(满分40分)
Please put your answers by filling in the correct boxes with 2B pencil on the multiple choice answer card.(请将已下选择题的答案用2B铅笔填在答题卡上。)
Ⅰ.Multiple choice(1%×15=15%)
1. My younger brother is ________ old. He likes eating sweets a lot.
A. five-year B. five years’ C. five years D. five-years
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的弟弟五岁了。他非常喜欢吃糖果。
表示“几岁”作表语时,常用“数词+years+old”结构,其中years需用复数形式;若作定语修饰名词,则用“数词-year-old”复合形容词结构,其中year用单数。空处位于be动词后作表语,且后面已有old,故应用five years。
2. I’m sorry, Miss Lee, I remember ________ the English book to school, but in fact, I________ it at home.
A. to bring; forgot B. bringing; forgot C. to bring; left D. bringing; left
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:对不起,李老师,我记得带了英语书到学校,但实际上,我把它落在家里了。
remember doing sth.表示“记得做过某事”;remember to do sth.表示“记得要做某事”;leave sth.+地点表示“把某物落在某地’,forget意为“忘记”,后通常不直接加地点。根据“but in fact”可知,前后语义转折,学生以为自己做过了带书的动作,故第一空用bringing;根据“at home”可知,第二空表示把书落在家里,应用left。
3. —Who left the door open last night?
—________. It must have been the wind.
A. None B. Somebody C. Nothing D. No one
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨晚谁没关门? ——没人,一定是风吹开的。
None通常指代三者及以上的人/物,且常与of连用;Somebody表示“某人”;Nothing指代“事物”,不能回答who问句;No one表示“没有人”,专门用于回答who问句。根据“It must have been the wind.”可知,说明“不是人做的,是风”,所以要选表示“没有人”的词。应填No one。
4. —You know nothing about the movie Alice, ________?
—________. In fact, I have watched it twice.
A. do you; No B. don’t you; No C. do you; Yes D. don’t you; Yes
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你对电影《爱丽丝》一无所知,是吗? ——不(我了解)。事实上,我已经看过它两遍了。
反意疑问句的基本规则是:前肯后否,前否后肯。本句前半句含有否定词nothing,属于否定含义,所以后半句的疑问部分要用肯定形式。句子的谓语动词是know,一般现在时,主语是you,所以疑问部分用do you;答语“In fact, I have watched it twice.”说明“我了解这部电影”,是肯定事实,所以要用Yes来回答。故填do you;Yes。
5. My brother with his friends often ________ celebrities’ autographs ________ my uncle, who is a manager at a local theatre.
A. gets; through B. get; through C. gets; of D. get; of
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我哥哥和他的朋友们经常通过我叔叔得到名人的签名,我叔叔是当地一家剧院的经理。
gets得到,动词三单形式;through通过;get得到,动词原形;of……的。第一空,主语核心词是My brother,with his friends作伴随状语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式gets;第二空,句意提示此处表示通过叔叔的关系得到签名,表示“通过”用介词through。
6. The book is highly recommended (推荐), for it is very exciting ________ many adventure stories________ it.
A. and; in B. and; on C. with; in D. with; on
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这本书被强烈推荐,因为它非常令人兴奋,带有许多冒险故事在其中。
and和;in在……里面;on在……上面;with有。第一空,此处表示书“带有”许多冒险故事,应用介词with表具有;第二空,表示故事是在书“里面”,应用介词in。
7. You’d better not spend your whole day on the ________ in your grammar book. From time to time, you can do some eye ________ to relax.
A. exercise; exercise B. exercises; exercises C. exercises; exercise D. exercise; exercises
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你最好不要一整天都在做语法书上的练习。不时地,你可以做一些眼部练习来放松。
exercise表示“锻炼”时,为不可数名词;exercises表示“习题/(做)操”时,为可数名词,常用复数。第一空表示语法书上的“具体练习题”,表泛指用可数名词复数,应用exercises;第二空表示“做操”,eye exercises“眼保健操”,用可数名词复数,应用exercises;应填exercises; exercises。
8. I know it’s a lot of work, but ________, it’s for a good cause (目的).
A. in general B. in total C. at all D. after all
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我知道这是很多工作,但毕竟,这是为了一个崇高的目标。
in general总的来说;in total总共;at all根本,常用于否定句或疑问句;after all毕竟。根据前半句承认工作量大,后半句给出理由,应用after all表示“毕竟”,用以缓和语气并解释原因。
9. It is difficult to make a person ________ his or her mind easily. Likewise, it is not easy to get a person ________a decision.
A. to change; make B. change; to make C. change; make D. to change; to make
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:让一个人轻易改变主意是困难的。同样,让一个人做决定也并不容易。
根据第“make”可知,在make sb. do sth.“使某人做某事”结构中,宾语补足语应用省去to的不定式,即动词原形,应填change,排除A、D两项;根据第二句中的动词“get”可知,在get sb. to do sth.“让某人做某事”结构中,宾语补足语应用带to的不定式,应填to make,排除C项。
10. I ________ love at first sight, but I also ________ building a strong relationship over there.
A. believe; believe B. believe in; believe C. believe; believe in D. believe in; believe in
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我相信一见钟情,但我也相信建立一段牢固的感情。
believe in用于表示“相信/信奉抽象的概念、原则或行为的价值”;believe多表示“相信具体的事实、话语”。“love at first sight”和“building a strong relationship”均为抽象的理念/信念,两处都应使用believe in。
11. We still have ________ vegetables, but there is ________ oil left. We need to buy some before we start cooking.
A. a few; little B. a little; little C. a few; a little D. a little; a little
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们还有一些蔬菜,但是油几乎没有了。我们在开始做饭前需要买一些。
a few一些,修饰可数名词复数;little几乎没有,修饰不可数名词;a little一点,修饰不可数名词。第一空修饰可数名词复数vegetables,用a few;根据“We need to buy some”可知,第二空表示几乎没油了,所以才需要买一些,oil是不可数名词,用little修饰。
12. It’s ________ for them ________they don’t enjoy the movie after all the praise.
A. surprising; saying B. surprised; saying C. surprising; to say D. surprised; to say
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:令人惊讶的是,在所有的赞誉之后,他们竟然说不喜欢这部电影。
surprising令人惊讶的;surprised感到惊讶的;say说。第一空:句型 It is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth. 中,It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。当形容词修饰事物(即这件事)时,应用 surprising;第二空需要填入动词不定式作真正的主语。故应用to say。
13. We want you to know that the price of the breakfast ________ cakes and drinks, but please be careful, as the cakes ________ nuts and milk.
A. includes; include B. contains; include C. includes; contain D. contains; contain
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们想告知您,早餐的价格包含蛋糕和饮料,但请您注意,蛋糕中含有坚果和牛奶。
include侧重“整体中包含部分”,强调范围列举;contain侧重“内部含有/容纳”,强调成分、组成。第一空,主语是“the price of the breakfast”,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。这里表达“价格包含蛋糕和饮料”,是整体包含部分,所以用includes;第二空,主语是“the cakes”,谓语动词用原形。这里表达“蛋糕里含有坚果和牛奶”,是食物内部的成分,所以用contain。应填includes;contain。
14. —The family had the house cleaner do the work ________ eighty yuan. Don’t you think it was really worth (值得) it?
—________. It was not much work, actually.
A. at; No B. for; No C. at; Yes D. for; Yes
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这家人花了八十元让清洁工做这项工作。你不觉得真的很值吗?——不觉得。实际上,工作并不太多。
第一空:表示“以……价格”通常用for,如for eighty yuan;at也表价格,但多用于单价或比率,如at a high price,此处for更常用。第二空:根据“It was not much work, actually”可知,说话人认为不值,应否定回答“不觉得”,英语中用No表示对否定问句的赞同,即“是的,我不觉得值”或直接译为“不”。应填for; No。
15. —I heard you tell Lisa she looked like she just came out of a horror movie.
—Yeah, it was just a joke. She looked a bit like a zombie.
—Well, ________, especially if you don’t know what she’s been going through lately.
A. never mind B. sounds good to me
C. let’s forget about it D. it’s not a very nice thing to say
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我听说你告诉Lisa她看起来像刚从恐怖电影里出来一样。——是啊,只是个玩笑。她看起来有点像僵尸。——嗯,这样说不太好,尤其是如果你不知道她最近经历了什么。
never mind没关系;sounds good to me听起来不错;let’s forget about it让我们忘了它吧;it’s not a very nice thing to say这样说不太好。根据“especially if you don’t know what she’s been going through lately.”可知,Lisa最近可能遭遇了困难,此时拿她的外貌开玩笑是不礼貌的。D选项符合语境中对他人的劝说口吻,指出这种说法不友善。

B
Ancient (古代的) medical traditions often focus on food. After all, what we put into our body must affect how our body feels. But what about our minds? Does what we eat affect how we feel and think? Recent research says yes.
Different foods affect (影响) different hormones (激素) in our brains. Fruits and vegetables generally increase hormones that make us calm. Foods with a lot of protein (蛋白质), on the other hand, increase hormones that make us alert (机敏的). But junk food-fatty, salty, sugary food without much nutrition-has a negative effect. It can make us tired and stressed. Different ingredients in junk food have different effects. One very important and unhealthy ingredient in junk food is trans fat.
Trans fats (反式脂肪) are types of fat often found in junk food. Doctors have been studying the effects of trans fats recently, and the results aren’t good. Trans fats seem to be linked to poor memory and depression (抑郁). An American study found that people remembered fewer words from a list after eating trans fats than before. Meanwhile, a study in Spain found that eating a lot of trans fats caused people to become depressed.
Doctors don’t fully understand why these things happen. Trans fats seem to slow down our normal brain function, making us forgetful. They also appear to lower serotonin (血清素), our body’s mood-balancing chemical, making us sad, angry, or even violent.
But the bad news about junk food is good news about healthy food. Eating well, it seems, can make us happier. So if you’re feeling blue, don’t reach for a bag of potato chips. They may make you feel good for the moment, but bad in the long run.
29. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Junk food harms your mind and body.
B. Trans fats are found in all junk food.
C. Most Americans do not eat healthily.
D. A high-protein diet has many benefits.
30. According to the passage, how do hormones relate to the foods we eat?
A. Some foods have no effect on our hormones.
B. Foods affect different hormones in the brain.
C. All foods affect the same hormones in the body.
D. Hormones are only affected by junk food.
31. What is the importance of serotonin mentioned in the passage?
A. It is a chemical that improves memory.
B. It helps balance our mood and emotions.
C. It can cause people to feel depressed.
D. It improves our ability to focus on tasks.
32. Which of the following can be inferred (推断) from the fourth paragraph?
A. Trans fats are found in many healthy foods.
B. Trans fats are sure to cause some bad feelings.
C. More research needs to be done on trans fats.
D. Junk food has nothing to do with depression.
【答案】29. A 30. B 31. B 32. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了食物对大脑和情绪的影响,重点分析了健康食物和垃圾食品如何通过影响激素和血清素,进而改变人的情绪、记忆和精神状态,强调了健康饮食对心理健康的重要性。
【29题详解】
根据文中第二段“junk food-fatty, salty, sugary food without much nutrition-has a negative effect. It can make us tired and stressed.”、第三段“Trans fats seem to be linked to poor memory and depression.”以及最后一段“They may make you feel good for the moment, but bad in the long run.”,可以看出文章从激素水平、记忆功能和情绪状态等多个方面,说明了垃圾食品对身体和精神的双重负面影响。
【30题详解】
根据文中第二段“Different foods affect different hormones in our brains.”可知,不同的食物会影响大脑中不同的激素。
【31题详解】
根据文中第四段“They also appear to lower serotonin, our body’s mood-balancing chemical, making us sad, angry, or even violent.”可知,血清素是我们身体中调节情绪的化学物质,它的作用是帮助平衡情绪和情感。
【32题详解】
根据文中第四段“Doctors don’t fully understand why these things happen.”可知,医生还没有完全弄清楚反式脂肪影响大脑的具体原因,因此可以推断关于反式脂肪还需要更多的研究。
C
A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat (汗水) of the back of his neck. “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough at least to take a look?”
“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle (口哨). “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little fur ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then the little pup began awkwardly wobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, quickly pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he showed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said. “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who knows how he feels.”
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
“How much?” asked the little boy. “No charge (费用),” answered the farmer. “There’s no charge for love and ________.”
33. In Paragraph 6, what does the underlined word “wobbling” mean?
A. walking with difficulty B. running very fast
C. barking loudly D. slowly standing up
34. What is NOT TRUE about the little boy according to the passage?
A. He was extremely happy to see the puppies.
B. He didn’t carry a large sum of money in his pocket.
C. He just wanted to take a look at one of the puppies.
D. He had trouble with his leg and couldn’t run well.
35. Why did the little boy choose the runt over all the other puppies?
A. Because it was cheaper than the others.
B. Because it was the cutest of all.
C. Because it was the last one he saw.
D. Because he felt a connection.
36. Which word best fits the blank?
A. pity B. understanding C. honesty D. kindness
【答案】33. A 34. C 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个腿脚不便的小男孩在买小狗时,选择了一只同样行动不便的弱小幼犬,最终打动了卖狗农夫的故事。
【33题详解】
根据文中“Then the little pup began awkwardly wobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up.”,以及后文农民说的“He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”可知,这只小狗行动不便,“wobbling”意为“走路困难、蹒跚”,符合语境。
【34题详解】
根据第一段“I want to buy one of your puppies.”,以及后文他坚持选择那只弱小的小狗、并向农民解释原因可知,他不是只想看看,而是真的想买下这只小狗,因此C选项表述错误。
【35题详解】
根据倒数第三段小男孩说的“You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who knows how he feels.”可知,小男孩因为自己也腿脚不便,能共情这只弱小的小狗,因此选择了它,这是一种情感上的联结。
【36题详解】
根据全文语境,小男孩和小狗都有行动不便的困扰,他们之间是基于共情与理解的联结;农民被这份理解打动,因此说“爱与理解是不需要收费的”。understanding“理解”最贴合小男孩与小狗之间的情感共鸣,也呼应了小男孩“懂它感受”的表述。

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments (任务)? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old, their muscles (肌肉) begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can stop this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed go down with age. Reading makes your brain stronger and stops these declines (衰减).
You can benefit from reading in the near term, too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of (不管) whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that?
Do not just discount (忽视) a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (观点). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a doofus (笨蛋). So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze (挤压) it for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.
37. Why does the writer ask questions at the very beginning of the passage?
A. To challenge (挑战) an idea. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give examples. D. To surprise readers.
38. Which of the following is NOT one of the author’s main points?
A. Reading broadens your perspective and makes you a better person.
B. Reading is a relaxing activity with positive mental side effects.
C. Reading helps you perform on tests and get into selective schools.
D. Reading keeps your mind in shape and prevents losses because of age.
39. Which is NOT one of the author’s arguments (论点) in the fifth paragraph?
A. Reading gives you a broader perspective on the world.
B. Reading changes the way that you understand the world.
C. Reading helps prepare you for your job in the real world.
D. Reading teaches you about faraway lands and cultures.
40. Which title best expresses the main idea of this text?
A. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways
B. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future
C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having Fun
D. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills
【答案】37. B 38. C 39. C 40. A

第二段提到“Reading stimulates your mind...”,阅读能防止大脑因年龄衰退(对应D);第五段提到“It can give you a broader perspective on things.”,阅读能拓宽视野(对应A);第六段提到“Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect.”,阅读有舒缓作用(对应B)。全文并未提及阅读能帮助考试成绩或进入精选学校,属于无中生有,C项不是作者的观点。
【39题详解】
第五段提到“Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier.”,阅读可以改变你理解世界的方式,提供更广阔的视野,了解远方的人们和文化,但未提及帮助你为现实世界的工作做准备。

Ⅳ.Vocabulary
A.Complete each sentence with proper words. The first letter of each word is given.(1%×12=12%)
41. David carefully wrote the i________ to his wedding ceremony (婚礼) and mailed them to all his family members and friends.
【答案】invitations##nvitations
【解析】
【详解】句意:David小心翼翼地写好了婚礼邀请函,并将它们寄给了所有的家人和朋友。首字母i提示结合“wrote the … to his wedding ceremony”可知是写婚礼邀请函,invitation表示“请柬、请帖”,句中用代词them指代这个词,说明需要用名词复数形式,因此填invitations。
42. The girl b________ her little brother while her parents were on a business trip, making sure he didn’t cry or get injured.
【答案】babysat##abysat
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个女孩在父母出差时照看她的弟弟,确保他不哭也不受伤。根据句意,需要一个表示“临时照顾小孩”的动词。题目给出首字母是b ,对应的单词是babysit(临时照顾婴儿/小孩),时间状语从句用的是一般过去时,主句动作也发生在过去,所以babysit需要用过去式babysat。故填babysat。
43. It is important to stay p________ even when facing challenges, as it helps you feel better and live longer.
【答案】positive##ositive
【解析】
【详解】句意:即使面对挑战,保持积极乐观也很重要,因为它能让你感觉更好,活得更久。stay在此处是连系动词,含义为“保持(某种状态)”,后面必须接形容词作表语,因此空格需要填入以字母p开头的形容词。结合生活常识和语境,能帮助人抗压、心情变好、延年益寿的状态是积极乐观。positive“积极乐观的”符合语境。
44. The scientist discovered the s________ to growing plants faster, and farmers are now using his methods.
【答案】secret##ecret
【解析】
【详解】句意:科学家发现了让植物更快生长的秘诀,如今农民都在使用他的方法。结合首字母s提示及句意可知,secret“秘诀”。固定搭配the secret to…表示“……的秘诀”,此处to是介词,后接动名词growing,完全符合句子结构。故填secret。
45. One of the car park a________ at Deji Plaza showed me where to park when the lot was full.
【答案】attendants##ttendants
【解析】
【详解】句意:德基广场的一名停车场工作人员,在车位满了的时候指引我停车。“One of the car park”表明空处需用可数名词复数,结合“showed me where to park when the lot was full”以及首字母,广场指引我停车的应该是工作人员,attendant“工作人员,服务人员”,可数名词,其复数形式为attendants。
46. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables helps us to get enough v________ for our bodies to grow.
【答案】vitamins##itamins
【解析】
【详解】句意:均衡饮食,吃充足的水果蔬菜,能帮助我们摄入足够维生素,以供身体生长。根据语境“吃充足的水果蔬菜以获得足够的维生素”结合首字母v,单词vitamin表示维生素,符合语境。vitamin为可数名词,前面无单数冠词,plenty of fruits and vegetables对应多种维生素,用复数vitamins。
47. Suzy felt very excited when someone told her that the famous star lived in the same n________ and even in the same building.
【答案】neighbourhood##eighbourhood
【解析】
【详解】句意:当有人告诉苏西,那位著名的明星住在同一个街区,甚至同一栋楼里时,她感到非常兴奋。后文“the same building”(同一栋楼)提示此处表示居住的片区,结合首字母 n,可知是neighbourhood,表示“街区、社区”。in the same neighbourhood表示“在同一个街区”,neighbourhood为名词,此处用单数形式即可。
48. It m________ only that we arrived on time, as everything else was ready for the event.
【答案】mattered##attered
【解析】
【详解】句意:只要我们准时到达了就好,因为其他的一切都为活动准备好了。空处应填谓语动词。结合“as everything else was ready for the event.”和首字母m可知,此处用动词matter,意为“要紧”。句中出现了一般过去时标志was,说明整件事描述过去发生的场景,因此主句谓语动词也要用一般过去式mattered。
49. The Smiths enjoy s________ down the steep slopes (陡坡) at high speed every winter holiday.
【答案】skiing##kiing
【解析】
【详解】句意:史密斯一家喜欢在每年寒假期间从陡坡上高速滑下。根据句意“down the steep slopes at high speed”及语境可知,动作是滑雪,且“enjoy”后需接动名词形式。首字母s对应skiing。
50. My English teacher n________ takes a walk after lunch, but today she went straight back to the office because she had too much homework to grade.
【答案】normally##ormally
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的英语老师通常午饭后会去散步,但今天她直接回了办公室,因为她有太多作业要批改。结合首字母提示n和句中“but today”表示转折,说明此处与“今天”形成对比,表示“通常”,normally“通常”,副词修饰动词takes。
51. Vegetables like spinach and broccoli are rich in m________ that are important for our health.
【答案】minerals##inerals
【解析】
【详解】句意:菠菜、西兰花这类蔬菜富含对我们健康很重要的矿物质。根据常识和语境可知,菠菜、西兰花这类蔬菜含有重要的矿物质,“that”指代复数主语,且从句be动词用are,所以填minerals。
52. The college girl spent the weekend e________ money by working at a local ice cream shop.
【答案】earning##arning
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个女大学生通过在一家当地冰淇淋店工作度过了周末,以此赚钱。根据固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth.“花费时间做某事”,可知此处应填入动词的-ing形式。结合句意“在冰淇淋店工作”是为了“赚取”金钱,且单词首字母已给出为e,故推断出原形动词为earn(赚取)。earn的动名词形式直接加-ing,即earning。
B.Complete the sentences with the proper forms of the given words.(1×8=8%)
53. The new manager ________ in finishing the project on time, but he worked ________ to meet the deadline (截止日期). (success)
【答案】 ①. succeeded ②. successfully
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位新任经理成功按时完成了项目,但他也成功地在最后期限前完成了工作。固定搭配succeed in doing sth表示“成功做成某事”;“worked”提示用一般过去时,第一空用动词过去式succeeded。修饰动词“worked”要用副词,所以第二空填successfully。
54. The teacher gave the naughty kid a warning for his ________ use of language in class yesterday. (proper)
【答案】improper
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天老师给这个调皮的孩子一次警告,因为他在课堂上使用语言不当。句中use是名词,前面需要形容词修饰,根据句意“受到警告”可知是“不恰当的”,proper意为合适的,其反义词为improper。
55. Tim had a ________ look on his face while watching the comedy for a third time. (boring)
【答案】bored
【解析】
【详解】句意:蒂姆第三次看这部喜剧时,脸上露出厌烦的神情。修饰人的表情、感受用形容词bored(感到无聊的);boring用来形容事物“令人乏味的”。此处描述蒂姆脸上的神情,应填bored。
56. It’s said that most road accidents are caused by ________ on the part of drivers.(careful)
【答案】carelessness
【解析】
【详解】句意:据说大多数交通事故都是由于司机的疏忽大意造成的。空格前是介词by,英语中介词后面只能接名词、代词、动名词,不能直接接形容词。题干给出提示词careful(形容词,细心的),因此必须把它变成名词。结合生活常识:交通事故是由“粗心”导致,而非“细心”,所以要使用 careful的反义含义名词carelessness。
57. Her ________ behavior (行为) in the game, always cheating to win, eventually caused her friends to stop trusting her.(honest)
【答案】dishonest
【解析】
【详解】句意:她在游戏中不诚实的行为(总是作弊以求获胜),最终导致她的朋友不再信任她。句中需要一个形容词修饰名词behavior;根据后文“always cheating to win”的语境,可知此处应表达“不诚实的”含义,honest的反义词为dishonest,符合语境。
58. It’s important to always check ________ signs to make sure that you can travel ________ through the area. (safe)
【答案】 ①. safety ②. safely
【解析】
【详解】句意:始终查看安全标识十分重要,以此确保你能安全地穿行该区域。safe“安全的”,是形容词。第一空后面是名词signs,此处需要名词作定语修饰signs。safety signs固定搭配,意为“安全标识”。第二空需填副词修饰动词travel“出行、穿行”,safely是副词,意为“安全地”。
Ⅴ.Sentence transformation(0.5%×10=5%)
59. They have got enough time to finish the project.(改为否定句)
They ________ ________ enough time to finish the project.
【答案】 ①. haven’t ②. got
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们有足够的时间来完成这个项目。原句是现在完成时的肯定句,谓语结构为“have got”。改为否定句时,在助动词“have”后加“not”,缩写为“haven’t”,后面“got”保持不变。
60. The deliveryman left the newspaper on my doorstep. (对划线部分提问)
________ ________ the deliveryman ________ the newspaper?
【答案】 ①. Where ②. did ③. leave
【解析】
【详解】句意:送货员把报纸放在了我的门阶上。划线部分“on my doorstep”是地点状语,对地点提问用疑问词Where。原句谓语“left”是leave的过去式,变特殊疑问句要借助助动词did,助动词后谓语动词还原为原形leave。
61. Few students know the answer to the question. (改为反义疑问句)
Few students know the answer to the question, ________ ________?
【答案】 ①. do ②. they
【解析】
【详解】句意:很少有学生知道这个问题的答案。反义疑问句遵循前否后肯,前肯后否的规则,原句中Few是表示否定含义的词,疑问部分要用肯定形式,原句是一般现在时,主语Few students是复数,谓语是实义动词know,疑问部分加助动词do,用代词they指代复数主语students。
62. —I’m sorry about losing your eraser. —That’s all right.(改为同义句)
—I’m sorry about losing your eraser. —Never ________.
【答案】mind
【解析】
【详解】句意:——对不起,我弄丢了你的橡皮。——没关系。句中“That’s all right.”是回应道歉的常用语,表示“没关系”,其同义表达为固定短语“Never mind.”,同样用于回应道歉,意为“没关系、别在意”,因此空处填mind。
63. We can’t reach the top without proper training. (改为同义句)
________ ________ for us to reach the top without proper training.
【答案】 ①. It’s ②. impossible
【解析】
【详解】句意:没有经过适当训练,我们无法到达顶峰。改为同义句,常用句型It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”。原句中“can’t reach”可以同义转换为形容词impossible“不可能的”,结合题干所给空格,故填It’s;impossible。
Ⅵ.Choose proper phrases to complete the paragraph and change the form if necessary. There is an extra one.(1%×5=5%)

【答案】64. get off
65. to deliver newspapers
66. said sorry to
67. to make sure
68. consisted of
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者邻居从事送报工作,及其团队认真负责、作者因缺席派对而道歉的故事。
【64题详解】
句意:前几天,我看到我的邻居和其他几个人拿着一大袋报纸下公交车,并向我挥手。空处构成“see sb. do sth.”结构,表示看到动作的全过程;结合下文“with a bag full of newspapers”以及“his job was to deliver newspapers”可知,他们需要先“下公交车”才能开始送报工作,get off意为“下车”,符合语境。
【65题详解】
句意:他的工作是给我们街上的房子送报纸。空处位于was之后作表语,说明工作的具体内容;结合上文“with a bag full of newspapers”以及下文“received their newspapers”可知,他的职业是“送报纸”,deliver newspapers意为“送报纸”,不定式to deliver newspapers作表语,符合语境。
【66题详解】
句意:我向他道歉,因为我没有出席他举办的派对。空处作谓语,描述过去发生的动作,用一般过去时;say sorry to sb.意为“向某人道歉”,结合下文“He kindly smiled and told me it was fine”可知,作者因缺席派对而“道歉”,said sorry to符合语境。
【67题详解】
句意:他们努力确保每个人都能准时收到报纸。空处位于tried之后,构成“try to do sth.”结构,表示“努力做某事”;结合上文邻居从事送报工作,以及“everyone received their newspapers on time”可知,他们的目标是“确保”投递无误,make sure意为“为了确保”,此处应填入to make sure。
【68题详解】
句意:他的团队由四个人组成,他们都工作非常努力。空处作谓语,描述过去存在的状态,应用一般过去时;结合上文邻居从事送报工作,以及“four people”可知,此处说明团队的“组成”情况,consist of意为“由……组成”,故填consisted of。
Ⅶ.Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the verbs given.(0.5%×15=7.5%)
69. I suggest ________ (lie)in the sun for a while before we ________ (start)the group work.
【答案】 ①. lying ②. start
【解析】
【详解】句意:我建议在开始小组活动之前,我们先在阳光下躺一会儿。suggest后接动名词作宾语,lie的动名词形式为lying;before引导的时间状语从句中,主句为一般现在时或一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表将来,主语we,填start。
70. ________ (Follow) your dream, and you ________ (reach) it. Avoid ________ (let) anything ________ (hold) you back.
【答案】 ①. Follow ②. will reach ③. letting ④. hold
【解析】
【详解】句意:追随你的梦想,你终将实现它。别让任何事物阻碍你前行。这是祈使句结构:动词原形+and+陈述句,句首用动词原形表劝告,首字母大写,所以第一空填Follow;后半句表将来的结果,用一般将来时:will + 动词原形,所以第二空填will reach。固定搭配:avoid doing sth.避免做某事,动词avoid后接动名词,let的动名词是letting,因此第三空填letting。固定搭配:let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”,let后面加动词原形,因此第四空填hold。
71. —You ________(drive) in the wrong direction (方向) at the moment. The supermarket is in the north of the town.
—Oh, I ________ (not know) that. Thank you for telling me.
【答案】 ①. are driving ②. didn’t know
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你此刻开的方向错了。超市在镇子的北边。——哦,我刚才不知道。谢谢你提醒我。时间标志词at the moment(此刻、现在),是现在进行时的典型提示词,结构为:主语+am/is/are +动词现在分词。本句主语为you,对应的be动词用are;drive的现在分词形式为driving,因此填are driving。第二空语境逻辑:说话人现在已经被告知路线错误,“不知道”是说话之前的状态,属于过去的动作,要用一般过去时。一般过去时否定结构:主语+didn’t+动词原形,因此填didn’t know。
72. The old house stands at the edge of the village, its door slightly ajar (半开的). Last summer, Jacky went there with a group of friends, hoping ________ (discover) more about its forgotten corners. All of a sudden, one of them slipped and ________ (hurt) his leg, so they ________ (stop) ________ (carry) him out right away.

【答案】 ①. to discover ②. hurt ③. stopped ④. to carry ⑤. singing ⑥. hearing ⑦. to know
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲解去年夏天Jacky和朋友去村边老宅探寻,途中一人摔伤,众人停下将他送出,路过树林时听到歌声,Jacky觉得这声音似曾相识,想要弄清是谁。
【72题详解】
句意:去年夏天,杰基和一群朋友去那里,希望进一步探寻那些被遗忘角落。固定搭配:hope to do sth.表示“希望做某事”,所以填to discover。
【73题详解】
句意:突然,其中一人滑倒摔伤了腿。于是他们立刻停下脚步把他送出去。“slipped”动词过去式,且and连接两个动词,所以填过去式hurt。
【74题详解】
句意:突然,其中一人滑倒摔伤了腿,于是他们立刻停下脚步把他送出去。“Last summer”提示动词要用过去式,所以填stopped。
【75题详解】
句意:突然,其中一人滑倒摔伤了腿,于是他们立刻停下脚步把他送出去。stop to do sth.停下来去做某事,所以填to carry。
【76题详解】
句意:当他们走过一些树时,听见有人在树后唱歌。hear sb. doing sth.听见某人正在做某事,所以填singing。
【77题详解】
句意:杰基记得以前在某处听过这个声音并且他想知道那是谁。remember doing sth.记得做过某事,所以填hearing。
【78题详解】
句意:杰基记得以前在某处听过这个声音并且他想知道那是谁。would like to do sth.想要做某事,所以填to know。
Ⅷ.Complete each sentence according to the Chinese given.(0.5%×25=12.5%)
73. 当朋友情绪不佳时,我们可以提供安慰。但有时候,让他们独自一人冷静一下也是不错的选择。
When our friends are in a bad mood, we can comfort them. However, sometimes ________ ________ ________ might be a good choice too.
【答案】 ①. leaving ②. them ③. alone
【解析】
【详解】原句中“让他们独自一人冷静一下”是关键词,对应的常用英语短语是leave sb. alone。空缺处在句中充当主语,因此动词需要使用动名词形式,将leave变为动名词leaving,宾语用them指代friends,最后加上alone。故填leaving;them;alone。
74. 别再浪费时间在这个AI网站上了,因为我们从中得到的建议不多。
Stop ________ ________ ________ this AI website because there isn’t ________ ________ that we can get from it.
【答案】 ①. wasting ②. time ③. on ④. much ⑤. advice
【解析】
【详解】原句中“浪费时间在……上”、“建议”和“多”是关键词:waste time on sth表示“在某事上浪费时间”,stop doing sth 表示“停止正在做的事,不要再做某事”,所以waste用动名词形式wasting,因此前三个空是wasting time on;advice表示“建议”,是不可数名词,用much“多”修饰,因此后两个空是much advice。
75. 我尽量午餐不吃深度油炸食品或含有过多碳水化合物的食物,因为它们会让我在上课时感到困倦。
I try ________ ________ eat ________ food and too many ________ for lunch because they make me ________ ________ in class.
【答案】 ①. not ②. to ③. deep-fried ④. carbohydrates ⑤. feel ⑥. sleepy
【解析】
【详解】原句中“尽量不吃”、“深度油炸的”、“碳水化合物”和“让我感到困倦”是关键词。表示“尽量不做某事”的结构是try not to do sth.;表示“深度油炸的”的短语是deep-fried,用作定语;表示“碳水化合物”的单词是carbohydrate,因受too many修饰,故第四空需用复数形式carbohydrates;表示“使某人感到……”的结构是make sb. do sth.,其后需接动词原形。
76. 虽然我们一开始没有太多共同点,但志愿者项目使我们与来自各行各业的人交朋友成为可能。

【答案】 ①. in ②. common ③. made ④. possible ⑤. for ⑥. make ⑦. friends ⑧. with
【解析】
【详解】原句中“共同点”是关键词,表示“共同点”的短语是in common,固定搭配:have much in common表示“有很多共同点”。原句中“使某人做某事成为可能”是关键词,句型:make it+形容词+for sb. to do sth.表示“使某人做某事成为可能”。possible形容词,作宾语补足语,表示“可能的”。固定短语:make friends with表示“与……交朋友”。故填in;common;made;possible;for;make;friends;with。
77. 我害怕忘记会议而迟到,所以我设置了一个闹钟。
I was afraid of ________ ________ the meeting and being late, so I set an alarm.
【答案】 ①. not ②. remembering
【解析】
【详解】原句中“害怕忘记”是关键词,表示“害怕做某事”的形容词短语是be afraid of doing sth.,否定形式为be afraid of not doing sth.。“忘记会议”即“不记得会议”,用not remembering the meeting。of为介词,后接动名词not remembering。

Ancient (古代的) medical traditions often focus on food. After all, what we put into our body must affect how our body feels. But what about our minds? Does what we eat affect how we feel and think? Recent research says yes.
Different foods affect (影响) different hormones (激素) in our brains. Fruits and vegetables generally increase hormones that make us calm. Foods with a lot of protein (蛋白质), on the other hand, increase hormones that make us alert (机敏的). But junk food-fatty, salty, sugary food without much nutrition-has a negative effect. It can make us tired and stressed. Different ingredients in junk food have different effects. One very important and unhealthy ingredient in junk food is trans fat.
Trans fats (反式脂肪) are types of fat often found in junk food. Doctors have been studying the effects of trans fats recently, and the results aren’t good. Trans fats seem to be linked to poor memory and depression (抑郁). An American study found that people remembered fewer words from a list after eating trans fats than before. Meanwhile, a study in Spain found that eating a lot of trans fats caused people to become depressed.
Doctors don’t fully understand why these things happen. Trans fats seem to slow down our normal brain function, making us forgetful. They also appear to lower serotonin (血清素), our body’s mood-balancing chemical, making us sad, angry, or even violent.
But the bad news about junk food is good news about healthy food. Eating well, it seems, can make us happier. So if you’re feeling blue, don’t reach for a bag of potato chips. They may make you feel good for the moment, but bad in the long run.
29. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Junk food harms your mind and body.
B. Trans fats are found in all junk food.
C. Most Americans do not eat healthily.
D. A high-protein diet has many benefits.
30. According to the passage, how do hormones relate to the foods we eat?
A. Some foods have no effect on our hormones.
B. Foods affect different hormones in the brain.
C. All foods affect the same hormones in the body.
D. Hormones are only affected by junk food.
31. What is the importance of serotonin mentioned in the passage?
A. It is a chemical that improves memory.
B. It helps balance our mood and emotions.
C. It can cause people to feel depressed.
D. It improves our ability to focus on tasks.
32. Which of the following can be inferred (推断) from the fourth paragraph?
A. Trans fats are found in many healthy foods.
B. Trans fats are sure to cause some bad feelings.
C. More research needs to be done on trans fats.
D. Junk food has nothing to do with depression.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat (汗水) of the back of his neck. “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough at least to take a look?”
“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle (口哨). “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little fur ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then the little pup began awkwardly wobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, quickly pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he showed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said. “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who knows how he feels.”
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
“How much?” asked the little boy. “No charge (费用),” answered the farmer. “There’s no charge for love and ________.”
33. In Paragraph 6, what does the underlined word “wobbling” mean?

B. He didn’t carry a large sum of money in his pocket.
C. He just wanted to take a look at one of the puppies.
D. He had trouble with his leg and couldn’t run well.
35. Why did the little boy choose the runt over all the other puppies?
A. Because it was cheaper than the others.
B. Because it was the cutest of all.
C. Because it was the last one he saw.
D. Because he felt a connection.
36. Which word best fits the blank?
A. pity B. understanding C. honesty D. kindness

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments (任务)? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old, their muscles (肌肉) begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can stop this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed go down with age. Reading makes your brain stronger and stops these declines (衰减).
You can benefit from reading in the near term, too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of (不管) whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that?
Do not just discount (忽视) a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (观点). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a doofus (笨蛋). So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze (挤压) it for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.
37. Why does the writer ask questions at the very beginning of the passage?
A. To challenge (挑战) an idea. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give examples. D. To surprise readers.
38. Which of the following is NOT one of the author’s main points?
A. Reading broadens your perspective and makes you a better person.
B. Reading is a relaxing activity with positive mental side effects.
C. Reading helps you perform on tests and get into selective schools.
D. Reading keeps your mind in shape and prevents losses because of age.
39. Which is NOT one of the author’s arguments (论点) in the fifth paragraph?
A. Reading gives you a broader perspective on the world.
B. Reading changes the way that you understand the world.
C. Reading helps prepare you for your job in the real world.
D. Reading teaches you about faraway lands and cultures.
40. Which title best expresses the main idea of this text?
A. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways
B. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future
C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having Fun
