A. a; higher B. an; higher C. a; highest D. an; highest
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天是不同寻常的一天,因为我取得了我们班最高分!
unusual发音以元音音素开头,不定冠词用an;in our class表示在全班范围内比较,三者及以上比较要用形容词最高级highest。higher是比较级,用于两者对比。应选an; highest。

A. so that B. in order to C. in order that D. so as

【解析】
【详解】句意:我们应该更多地了解中国文化,以便讲好中国故事。
so that以便,后接从句;in order to为了,后接动词原形;in order that为了,后接从句;so as通常与to连用,后接动词原形。句中空格后是动词原形tell,因此用in order to作目的状语。

A. introductions B. inventions C. invitations D. instructions
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:在你吃药之前,你必须阅读说明书。它非常重要。

A. They are worth watching B. It’s a waste of time
C. I’m a fan of TV dramas D. I’d rather watch some
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们一起看美国电视剧好吗?——这是我最不想做的事情。这是浪费时间的。
考查情景交际。They are worth watching它们值得看;It’s a waste of time浪费时间;I’m a fan of TV dramas我是电视剧迷;I’d rather watch some我宁愿看一些。根据“That’s the last thing I want to do.”可知是不喜欢看美国电视剧,是浪费时间。故选B。
6. —We are free this evening. Shall we go out for a walk?
—It’s foggy. We’d better ________. Why ________ a film at home?
A. not walk; not watch B. not to walk; not to watch
C. not to walk; not watch D. not walk; not to watch
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们今晚有空。我们出去散步好吗?——有雾,我们最好不要走路。为什么不在家里看电影呢?

A. with; of B. with; by C. with; for D. had; with
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这张带有一些玫瑰图案的卡片是手工制作的。
with带有;of属于;by通过;for为了;had有(动词过去式)。第一空用介词with表示“带有、附有”,with some roses on it作后置定语修饰the card;固定短语by hand意为“手工”,因此第二空填by。
8. —What are they doing these days?
—They are developing a new programme which can work much ________ than before.
A. quick B. quickly C. more quickly D. quicker
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——他们这些天在做什么?——他们正在开发一款新程序,它运行得能比以前快得多。
quick快的(形容词);quickly快地(副词);more quickly更快地(副词比较级);quicker更快的(形容词比较级)。根据“than before”可知,要用比较级;空处修饰动词“work”,需要用副词。quickly是多音节副词,其比较级形式为more quickly。
9. Mr. Li teaches ________ Maths and we teach ________ how to learn better.
A. our; ourself B. our; ourselves C. us; ourselves D. us; ourself
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:李老师教我们数学,我们自学怎样更好地学习。
our我们的(形容词性物主代词);us我们(宾格);ourself形式错误;ourselves我们自己(反身代词复数)。动词teach后接人称代词宾格作宾语,第一空用us;固定搭配teach oneself表示“自学”,主语是we,对应的反身代词用ourselves。
10. He didn’t buy the expensive lamp. ________, he made one ________.

A. more famous; with B. most famous; with
C. more famous; having D. most famous; having
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:木雕是最有名的、拥有悠久历史的艺术之一。
more famous更出名的(比较级);most famous最出名的(最高级);with带有、拥有(介词);having拥有(动词现在分词)。固定结构one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”,因此第一空用most famous;第二空用介词with表示 “带有、具有”,with a long history作后置定语修饰arts。
13. Be careful not to get hurt when you ________ a picture on the wall.
A. put on B. put out C. put away D. put up
【答案】D
【解析】

It’s never too old to learn活到老学到老;The early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃;Practice makes perfect熟能生巧;Seeing is believing眼见为实。根据“Should I read English every morning to improve my speaking?”可知,说话人询问是否应通过每天晨读来提高口语,回答者表示肯定,应补充强调反复练习的重要性,选项C最符合语境。

【导语】本文主要介绍了手工制作作为一种爱好越来越流行,它能改善情绪、缓解压力,甚至有益健康,鼓励人们参与创意活动。
【15题详解】
句意:手工制作肯定是一种越来越流行的爱好。
根据“becoming more and more popular”及上文“like to make things”可知,这是一种休闲活动。结合语境,手工制作被视为一种“爱好”。 hobby意为“爱好”,符合语境。job“工作”;skill“技能”;habit“习惯”,均不符合。
【16题详解】
句意:喜爱手工制作的人们说,进行创意创作能够改善他们的情绪。
根据下文“and there is evidence that it’s good for us as well”可知创意活动对情绪有积极作用。improve意为“改善”,improve mood意为“改善情绪”。change“改变”;protect“保护”;create“创造”,均不符合。
【17题详解】
句意:尤其是在冬日里,漫长寒冷的季节让人们很难开展户外活动。
根据“winter days”可知,带有修饰限定的日子前面用介词on。on winter days意为“在冬日里”。in用于泛指季节;at用于具体时刻;for表持续时长,均不符合。
【18题详解】
句意:这给了人们时间去尝试新的活动。
根据上文“the long and cold season makes it difficult to do activities outside”可知,冬天不便外出,人们拥有空闲时间尝试手工。time意为“时间”。money“金钱”;energy“精力”;luck“运气”,均不符合。
【19题详解】
句意:甚至在手工制作流行起来之前,人们就开始从事艺术和手工来消磨时间。
根据“before it became popular”可知,此处进行递进强调,说明手工活动由来已久。even意为“甚至”表强调。still“仍然”;once“一旦”;though“虽然”,均不符合。
【20题详解】
句意:有些人依靠手工制作赚取一点零花钱。
根据“pocket money”以及空前冠词a可知,此处使用固定搭配a bit of,意为“一点”,修饰不可数名词money。bit符合要求。lots不能与a连用;group“组”;number“数量”,均不符合。
【21题详解】
句意:很多人发现自己的日常工作很枯燥,但是学习一门手艺能带来巨大乐趣。
根据转折连词but后“provides great fun”可知,前后语义相反,日常工作是无趣的。boring意为“无聊的”。interesting“有趣的”;exciting“令人兴奋的”;surprising“令人惊讶的”,均不符合。
【22题详解】
句意:根据英国广播公司艺术频道的研究,人们投入绘画、手工这类创意消遣活动中的大部分时间,都有益于我们的情绪。
most意为“大部分的”,“most of the time”意为“大部分时间”,强调创意活动在开展过程中普遍能够给情绪带来积极作用。longest“最长的”;shortest“最短的”;best“最好的”,均不符合语境。

【24题详解】
句意:所以如果你厌倦了工作或是生活,正在寻找有趣的活动,或许现在就可以发挥创意动手制作。

For most of us, summer is not so pleasant to be in a place where air conditioning is not easy to get.
But for those who like doing it yourself (DIY), it’s not the same. A young man from Bangladesh designed an air conditioning (调节) system called the Eco Cooler. It does not need power, and is made of the world’s most common waste—plastic bottles.
The Eco Cooler is simple to build. First, to fix it, you should take away a window and replace it with the window. Second, you should cut a board into the size of a window and cut some bottles—neck sized holes onto the board. Then, you have to put the bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame (框架) with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.
The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C—a big difference.
This idea was to show the young man’s Eco Cooler to more people. With volunteers, he helped local people build and fix the units, and taught them how to make it by themselves.
The Eco Cooler can surely make a big difference.

A. cheap B. easy C. expensive D. difficult
31. What does the underlined word “replace” mean in Chinese?
A. 连接 B. 替代 C. 装饰 D. 清理
32. How does the Eco Cooler work?
A. By sending winds out of the building B. By catching winds inside
C. By sending winds into the building D. By catching winds outside
33. What can we learn from the text?
A. The Cooler is good to the environment.
B. The young is a clever businessman.
C. An Eco Cooler can reduce the temperature by 15°.
D. All the local will use the Eco Cooler.
34. What’s the best title of this text?
A. A man and his DIY dream
B. The best air conditioning in summer
C. The reasons for making the Eco Cooler
D. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottles
【答案】30. D 31. B 32. C 33. A 34. D

【31题详解】
根据第三段第二句“First, to fix it, you should take away a window and replace it with the window.”可知这里的动作是用新装置“替代”旧窗户的位置。因此replace意为“替代”。
【32题详解】

【33题详解】
第二段原文:“It does not need power, and is made of the world’s most common waste—plastic bottles.”,说明装置由随处可见的废料塑料瓶制成,无需耗电,由此可知这款降温装置对环境友好。

If you want to become a fluent (流利的) English speaker, you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar (不熟悉的) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for English learners. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.
35. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing
C. Listening and speaking D. Writing and speaking
36. The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”.
A. discover B. meet by chance C. look for D. find out
37. Which is not mentioned (提到) to practise listening?
A. English cartoons B. English movies
C. English music D. VOA
38. The author seems to agree with the view that________.
A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
39. The passage is mainly about how to________.
A. be better at English speaking and writing B. deal with new words in reading
C. read more English books D. choose reading materials
【答案】35. A 36. B 37. C 38. C 39. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍提升英语听说读写四项技能的学习建议,指出想要提高说和写,应当先掌握读和听,并分别讲解主动阅读、有效听力训练的方法。
【35题详解】
第一段原文:“if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening”,由此可知四项技能中应当先提升阅读和听力。
【36题详解】
第二段“There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across”,这里指阅读时不必试图理解所有“偶然遇到”的生词。“come across”意为“偶然遇到”与“meet by chance”含义相近。
【37题详解】
第四段原文:“you can listen to cartoons or some movies…listen to VOA or BBC programs”,文中提到英语卡通、英语影片、VOA,没有提到英语音乐。
【38题详解】
第三段原文:“become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say”,说明擅长阅读有助于提升听力。
【39题详解】
全文开篇点明目标:想要流利说英语,重点是提升说、写能力,方法从阅读、听力入手;结尾总结遵循建议,口语和写作会自动提升,因此文章主旨是如何提高英语口语与写作。

will find
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你上课认真听讲,就会发现这节课很容易理解。本题考查if引导的条件状语从句,遵循主将从现原则。从句“If you listen carefully in class”使用一般现在时,主句要用一般将来时,结构为will+动词原形,因此应填will find。
59. The can ________ (fall) over when the cat tried to reach it.

七、完成句子 (10%)
61. 他很努力,所以他的成功不足为奇。
He works hard so his ________.
【答案】
success is no surprise
【解析】
【详解】原句中“他的成功不足为奇”是关键词,“他的成功”对应英文his success,作后半句的主语;“不足为奇”是固定短语no surprise,作表语;so连接的两个分句时态要一致,前半句时态为一般现在时,后半句也应用一般现在时,用系动词is连接主语和表语。
62. 为了看日出,我们尽可能早起。
To watch the sunrise, we got up _______________.
【答案】
as early as possible
【解析】
【详解】原句中“尽可能早”是关键词,表示“尽可能”的短语是as ... as possible,“as⋅⋅⋅as”中间用形容词或副词的原级。“早”对应early,修饰动词短语got up。应填as early as possible。
63. 周末,她总是把冰箱填满水果和蔬菜。
She always ______________ fruits and vegetables at weekends.
【答案】
fills the fridge with
【解析】
【详解】原句中“把冰箱填满”是关键词,表示“把……填满”的短语是fill...with...,中间需加入宾语the fridge“冰箱”。本句为一般现在时,主语She是第三人称单数,谓语动词使用三单形式fills。
64. 他们参观博物馆时, 一件精美艺术品引起了他们的注意。
A fine work of art _______________ when they visited the museum.
【答案】
caught their attention
【解析】
【详解】原句中“引起了他们的注意”是关键词,表示“引起某人注意”的固定搭配是catch one’s attention。根据由when引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词visited可知,整个句子描述的是过去发生的事情,因此主句的时态也应使用一般过去时,谓语动词catch需变为过去式caught;“他们的”对应的形容词性物主代词为their。故填caught their attention。
65. 本杰明·富兰克林的天赋使他与众不同。
Benjamin Franklin’s talents __________________.
【答案】
made him different
【解析】
【详解】原句中“使他与众不同”是考查的核心。表示“使某人……”常用“make+宾语+形容词”的复合宾语结构,此处“他”作宾语需用宾格代词him,“与众不同的”用形容词different作宾语补足语。结合语境,本句描述的是历史人物本杰明·富兰克林的客观事实,时态应使用一般过去时,谓语动词make需变为过去式made。

For most of us, summer is not so pleasant to be in a place where air conditioning is not easy to get.
But for those who like doing it yourself (DIY), it’s not the same. A young man from Bangladesh designed an air conditioning (调节) system called the Eco Cooler. It does not need power, and is made of the world’s most common waste—plastic bottles.
The Eco Cooler is simple to build. First, to fix it, you should take away a window and replace it with the window. Second, you should cut a board into the size of a window and cut some bottles—neck sized holes onto the board. Then, you have to put the bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame (框架) with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.
The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C—a big difference.
This idea was to show the young man’s Eco Cooler to more people. With volunteers, he helped local people build and fix the units, and taught them how to make it by themselves.
The Eco Cooler can surely make a big difference.
30. To build the Eco Cooler is not ________.
A. cheap B. easy C. expensive D. difficult
31. What does the underlined word “replace” mean in Chinese?
A. 连接 B. 替代 C. 装饰 D. 清理
32. How does the Eco Cooler work?
A. By sending winds out of the building B. By catching winds inside
C. By sending winds into the building D. By catching winds outside
33. What can we learn from the text?
A. The Cooler is good to the environment.
B. The young is a clever businessman.
C. An Eco Cooler can reduce the temperature by 15°.
D. All the local will use the Eco Cooler.
34. What’s the best title of this text?
A. A man and his DIY dream
B. The best air conditioning in summer
C. The reasons for making the Eco Cooler
D. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottles
(C)
If you want to become a fluent (流利的) English speaker, you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar (不熟悉的) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for English learners. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.
35. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing
C. Listening and speaking D. Writing and speaking
36. The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”.
A. discover B. meet by chance C. look for D. find out
37. Which is not mentioned (提到) to practise listening?
A. English cartoons B. English movies
C. English music D. VOA
38. The author seems to agree with the view that________.
A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
39. The passage is mainly about how to________.
A. be better at English speaking and writing B. deal with new words in reading
C. read more English books D. choose reading materials
