A. rule B. choice C. question D. skill
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:看《罗小黑传奇》是劳累时放松心情的好选择。

2. —Thank you for your_______ advice, Mrs King. Without it, I wouldn’t have solved the problem.
—You’re welcome. I’m glad it was useful to you.
A. common B. uneasy C. tiny D. valuable

【解析】
【详解】句意:——金夫人,谢谢你的宝贵建议。没有它,我就解决不了这个问题。——不客气。我很高兴它对你有用。
common常见的;uneasy不安的;tiny微小的;valuable宝贵的。根据“Without it, I wouldn’t have solved the problem.”以及答语“I’m glad it was useful to you.”可知,该建议帮助解决了问题,是非常有用的,即宝贵的建议。
3. There is something wrong with his computer. He plans to get it ________ this afternoon.
A. repairing B. repaired C. to repair D. repairs
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】题意:他的电脑坏了。他打算下午去修。
考查过去分词作宾语补足语。get sth. done“使某事发生”,过去分词表被动,作宾补。“it”指的是“his computer”,computer“电脑”与repair“修理”之间构成被动关系。故选B。
4. —Why didn’t you come to our party last night, Nick?

A. prepared B. was preparing C. have prepared D. will prepare
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Nick,昨晚你为什么没来参加我们的聚会?——很抱歉我没能来,因为当时我正在准备一份重要报告。
考查过去进行时。根据“Why didn’t you come to our party last night, Nick?”和“I couldn’t come because I...an important report.”可知,昨晚没有出现在派对上是因为在那时正在准备着一个重要面试,所以答语应该用过去进行时,其结构为was/were doing,主语为I,be动词用was。故选B。
5. WeChat is a useful communication tool _______ can help people talk to friends, share photos, ideas and feelings freely.
A. who B. which C. where D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:微信是一个有用的交流工具,它可以帮助人们与朋友交谈,自由地分享照片、想法和感受。
考查定语从句。who谁;which哪一个;where在哪里;what什么。分析句子可知,此句是含定语从句的复合句;先行词“tool”指物,关系词应用which,在从句中作主语。故选B。
6. —How do you like the concert last night?
—Exciting, ________ one piece of the music wasn’t played quite well.
A. though B. because C. so D. and
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得昨晚的音乐会怎么样?——令人兴奋,尽管有一段音乐演奏得不太好。
考查连词。though尽管;because因为;so因此;and并且。根据“Exciting, … one piece of the music wasn’t played quite well.”可知,这场音乐会尽管有一段音乐演奏的不好,但还是令人兴奋的,空格前后为让步关系,应用though引导让步状语从句。故选A。
7. —The driver_______ be badly hurt in the accident.
— That’s true. Let’s send him to the hospital as soon as possible.
A. need B. can’t C. must D. mustn’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——司机在事故中一定受了重伤。——确实如此。我们尽快送他去医院吧。
need需要;can’t不可能;must一定;mustn’t禁止。根据答语“That’s true. Let’s send him to the hospital...”可知,对方认同司机受伤严重的说法,表示肯定的推测,应用must。
8. It’s reported that a hanfu show_______ in the Museum of History next week.
A. is held B. was held C. will be held D. has been held
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:据报道,一场汉服秀将于下周在历史博物馆举行。
is held为一般现在时的被动语态;was held为一般过去时的被动语态;will be held为一般将来时的被动语态;has been held为现在完成时的被动语态。根据时间状语“next week”可知句子时态为一般将来时;主语“a hanfu show”是动作“hold”的承受者,需用被动语态。一般将来时的被动语态结构为“will be + 过去分词”,应填will be held。
三、完形填空 (本大题共26小题,每小题1分,共26分)

David sat alone on the school bus. He didn’t want to talk to his friends. They were all discussing their class projects. They were excited, and they didn’t understand why David wasn’t excited. He wasn’t going to explain it, either. How could they understand his feelings when their parents would help them? David didn’t have anyone to help him. His mom worked all the time, and his dad never wanted to do anything with him.
When the bus stopped at his street, he jumped out and ran home before anyone could stop him. He burst through (冲过) the door of his apartment, dropped his schoolbag on the floor, and rushed to his room.
David stopped before he closed his bedroom door because he heard his grandpa call him. He didn’t want to hurt Grandpa’s feelings so he came to Grandpa. David quickly explained how they were given a class project for the weekend. Each student needed to ask an adult for help, and together they would build something. The students needed to write a report about the project.
“That sounds nice,” Grandpa said when David finished. “Why does it make you so discouraged (灰心的)?”
David said angrily, “Because I don’t have anyone to help me.” After saying the words, David realized that Grandpa could help him. David smiled. Maybe this project wasn’t so bad, after all.
When they finished eating dinner, they sat at the table and made a list of ideas. They decided on building a cardboard robot with old boxes. When they finished, the kitchen table was a mess. However, David couldn’t stop smiling. He hugged Grandpa before he went to write his report.
“Maybe next time we can build something even cooler,” Grandpa said to David.
38. Why was David’s mom unable to help him with his project?
A. Because she was not patient enough. B. Because she was busy with her work.

Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City (紫禁城) in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin (普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations (一代).
Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.
43. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A. More than 600 years. B. 1420 years. C. About 600 years. D. Over 10,000 years
44. We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for_______ of the emperor.
A. fame B. health C. wealth D. power
45. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “banquet” in Paragraph 4?
A. performance B. game C. dinner D. fair
46. Which of the following is NOT true about the Forbidden City in the passage?
A. The Emperor lived there B. It is a historical place for visiting
C. The wall of the City was purple D. The emperor had festival celebrations there
47. What’s the best title of the passage?

【43题详解】
第二段提到“The Forbidden City was built in 1420.”故宫建于1420年,至今历史已超过600年。
【44题详解】

第四段上下文提到“invite all the members... to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes.”banquet指的是有丰盛菜肴的聚会,即“宴会”或“正餐”。选项中只有C“dinner”与饮食相关,最接近该词含义。
【46题详解】
第三段提到“However, the color of the palace itself is not purple.”故宫本身的颜色并不是紫色。选项C“故宫的墙是紫色的”与文章内容不符。
【47题详解】
文章主要介绍了故宫的历史身份以及现在的身份,并通过作者的游览经历串联起来。选项D“故宫:从宫殿到博物馆”准确概括了故宫从皇家宫殿到公共博物馆的历史变迁这一核心内容。

Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your ear drums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
48. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Yawning is contagious. B. People yawn when they are excited or nervous.
C. Yawning helps a warm brain. D. People yawn because of their boredom or tiredness.
49. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race?
A. They are too tired or too bored. B. A yawn can let good things in.
C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces.
50. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning.
C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning.
51. What can we probably infer from the passage?
A. People use different ways to yawn. B. Scientists will do further research on yawning.
C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D. Some people think yawning is good for health.
52. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】48. D 49. C 50. D 51. D 52. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍科学家尚未完全弄清打哈欠的准确原因,介绍了打哈欠的普遍特征、多种成因猜想、带来的身体作用,以及不同国家对打哈欠的不同看法。
【48题详解】
结合第三段第一句“Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true.”可知That指代前文人们觉得打哈欠是无聊或疲惫导致的这件事。
【49题详解】
结合第三段末尾“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”可知运动员赛前打哈欠的科学原因是打哈欠可以给温热的大脑降温。
【50题详解】
结合第五段“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice... In other countries, people think yawning is healthy.”可知本段分别讲述两类国家对打哈欠截然不同的看法。
【51题详解】
结合第五段“In other countries, people think yawning is healthy.”可知一些国家认为打哈欠有益健康。
【52题详解】
结合文章整体结构可知第1段总起,总述科学家对打哈欠有诸多猜想但无定论;第2到第6段分层介绍打哈欠的共性、成因、身体作用、各国看法、科学家研究态度,属于总分结构,总段①,分述②③④⑤⑥。

David sat alone on the school bus. He didn’t want to talk to his friends. They were all discussing their class projects. They were excited, and they didn’t understand why David wasn’t excited. He wasn’t going to explain it, either. How could they understand his feelings when their parents would help them? David didn’t have anyone to help him. His mom worked all the time, and his dad never wanted to do anything with him.
When the bus stopped at his street, he jumped out and ran home before anyone could stop him. He burst through (冲过) the door of his apartment, dropped his schoolbag on the floor, and rushed to his room.
David stopped before he closed his bedroom door because he heard his grandpa call him. He didn’t want to hurt Grandpa’s feelings so he came to Grandpa. David quickly explained how they were given a class project for the weekend. Each student needed to ask an adult for help, and together they would build something. The students needed to write a report about the project.
“That sounds nice,” Grandpa said when David finished. “Why does it make you so discouraged (灰心的)?”
David said angrily, “Because I don’t have anyone to help me.” After saying the words, David realized that Grandpa could help him. David smiled. Maybe this project wasn’t so bad, after all.
When they finished eating dinner, they sat at the table and made a list of ideas. They decided on building a cardboard robot with old boxes. When they finished, the kitchen table was a mess. However, David couldn’t stop smiling. He hugged Grandpa before he went to write his report.
“Maybe next time we can build something even cooler,” Grandpa said to David.

Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City (紫禁城) in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin (普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations (一代).
Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.
43. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A. More than 600 years. B. 1420 years. C. About 600 years. D. Over 10,000 years

Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your ear drums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
48. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Yawning is contagious. B. People yawn when they are excited or nervous.
C. Yawning helps a warm brain. D. People yawn because of their boredom or tiredness.
49. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race?
A. They are too tired or too bored. B. A yawn can let good things in.
C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces.
50. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning.
C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning.
51. What can we probably infer from the passage?
A. People use different ways to yawn. B. Scientists will do further research on yawning.
C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D. Some people think yawning is good for health.
52. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
