A. muscles; energy B. muscles; strength C. strengths; muscle D. muscles; muscle 【答案】B 【解析】第一空考查固定搭配 build up one's muscles「锻炼肌肉」，用复数形式。第二空考查一词多义——muscle 本可表示「力量」，但此处与 never giving up 呼应，strength 更自然流畅且强调内在力量。A 项 energy 语义不符；C 项 strengths 语序颠倒；D 项 muscle 单数且在此语境中不如 strength 贴切。 14. yet /jet/ （1）单项选择 The task seemed simple, ______ it took the team an entire week to complete; and ______, not a single team member complained about the difficulty. A. and; yet B. yet; yet C. but; but D. yet; but 【答案】B 【解析】第一空 yet 作连词表转折「然而」（= but），连接前后分句。第二空 and yet 为固定搭配表示「尽管如此」。A 项 and 表并列，逻辑不当；C 项 and but 非正确搭配；D 项 and but 同样错误。两空均填 yet 但词性不同——连词 vs 副词。 15. surprisingly /səˈpraɪzɪŋli/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 The experiment seemed impossible from the start, but ______ (surprise), the results turned out to be ______ (surprise) positive.

A. altitude; achieve B. attitude; achieve C. attitude; arrive D. altitude; arrive 【答案】B 【解析】第一空考查固定搭配 attitude towards「对……的态度」，同时设 altitude「海拔」为形近词强干扰——两词拼写极为相似，中考常设此陷阱。第二空 achieve progress「取得进步」。C 项 arrive 不与 progress 搭配；A/D 项 altitude 为形近干扰。 （2）任务型转换 原文：What you think about life greatly influences how you live it. 题干：Your ______ towards life plays a key role in shaping the way you live. 【答案】attitude 【解析】考查同义转换。what you think about life = your attitude towards life，将从句短语转换为名词短语。play a key role in = greatly influence，考查学生对核心词汇 attitude 的语义理解和句型转换能力。 17. despite /dɪˈspaɪt/ （1）单项选择 ______ his right leg was seriously injured during the semi-final, he still managed to finish the race; ______ all the physical pain he suffered, his determination won heartfelt applause from the audience. A. Despite; Despite B. Although; Despite C. Despite; Although D. Although; Although 【答案】B 【解析】经典陷阱题——区分 despite（介词）与 although（连词）。第一空后接完整句子 his right leg was seriously injured，必须用连词 Although。第二空后接名词短语 all the physical pain，必须用介词 Despite。A 项首个 Despite 后接句子，语法错误——此为中考常见陷阱：看到「尽管」就选 despite，忽略其介词属性。 （2）任务型转换 原文：Though he had made great efforts over the years, he still failed to win the gold medal. 题干：______ his great efforts over the years, he still failed to win the gold medal. 【答案】Despite 【解析】考查 though/although 从句与 despite + 名词的转换。Though he had made great efforts = Despite his great efforts，将让步状语从句简化为介词短语。注意 Despite 位于句首，首字母需大写。 18. universe /ˈjuːnɪvɜːs/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 The beauty of the ______ (universe) is beyond our imagination, and the law of gravity is believed to be a ______ (universe) truth that applies everywhere, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy. 【答案】universe, universal 【解析】第一空考查 the universe 固定搭配「宇宙」，the 已给出，填名词 universe。第二空考查派生词 universal「普遍的」，形容词修饰 truth，表示万有引力是通行于宇宙的普遍真理。区分 universe（名词，「宇宙」）与 universal（形容词，「普遍的」）。 19. continued /kənˈtɪnjuːd/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 After a short break, the scientist ______ (continue) his research with ______ (continue) effort, believing that true success required not just a moment of brilliance but a ______ (continue) pursuit of knowledge throughout one's lifetime. 【答案】continued, continued, continuous 【解析】第一空考查 continue 的动词过去式 continued「继续」。第二空考查 continued 作形容词「持续的」。第三空考查 continued vs continuous 辨析——continuous 强调「不间断的、连续不断的」，修饰 pursuit of knowledge 表示持续终生的追求。三空分别考查动词、形容词和近义词辨析。 20. scientific /ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 Many outstanding ______ (science) have devoted their lives to making ______ (science) discoveries, proving that the spirit of ______ (science) lies in curiosity, patience and the courage to question established ideas. 【答案】scientists, scientific, science 【解析】第一空考查派生词 scientist「科学家」，主语是人，用复数 scientists。第二空考查 scientific「科学的」作形容词修饰 discoveries。第三空考查 science「科学」作名词。三空区分了 science / scientist / scientific 三个同根词的词性和用法——中考高频考点。 21. audience /ˈɔːdiəns/ （1）单项选择 The speaker's life story was so powerful that it moved the entire ______ to tears, and soon the ______ of his speech spread far beyond the lecture hall through social media. A. public; audience B. audience; influence C. audiences; audiences D. audience; audiences 【答案】B 【解析】第一空考查 audience 集合名词用法——用单数表示整体「全体听众」。第二空 influence 表示演讲的影响力传播开来。A 项 public 语义范围过大；C/D 项 audiences 作为复数使用不当——此处 audience 指一个整体的听众群体，应用单数。 （2）首字母填空 根据句意及首字母提示，在空白处填入适当的单词。 The bestselling author attracted a wide a________ with her first novel, which was read by millions around the world. To reach an even larger a________, she decided to write her next book in simpler language. As an experienced speaker, she knows exactly how to engage her a________ during every public lecture and keep them interested from start to finish. 【答案】audience 【解析】三句分别考查 audience 一词多义在不同语境中的运用——第一句 audience = 读者（小说读者群体）；第二句 audience = 受众（reach a larger audience 扩大受众群）；第三句 audience = 听众（public lecture 公众讲座中的听众）。一词三义同形，帮助学生理解 audience 可灵活指代不同类型的「内容接收者」。 22. highly /ˈhaɪli/ （1）单项选择 The young artist is ______ praised for her original creativity, and her paintings now sell ______ in the international art market, with many experts ______ of her potential to become a master. A. high; high; thinking highly B. highly; high; thinking high C. highly; high; thinking highly D. high; highly; thinking highly 【答案】C 【解析】经典陷阱题——区分 highly vs high。第一空 highly praised「高度赞扬」，副词 highly 修饰动词（high 作副词时只表空间「高高地」）。第二空 sell high「卖得高价」，high 作副词表示价格高度。第三空 think highly of 固定搭配「高度评价」。A 项 high praised 错误；B 项 thinking high 缺少 of；D 项同理。见 by 不要误选被动——此题无被动考点。 （2）任务型转换 原文：People greatly respect the doctor for his selfless dedication during the pandemic. 题干：People ______ ______ ______ the doctor for his selfless dedication during the pandemic. 【答案】think highly of 【解析】考查同义转换。greatly respect = think highly of「高度评价/非常尊敬」。此题挖三个空，要求学生完整掌握该固定短语，不能遗漏任何部分。注意 of 的介词搭配不可替换。 23. whenever /wenˈevə(r)/ （1）单项选择 ______ you face difficulties in life, always remember that there are people who truly believe in you; I personally find great comfort in knowing I can turn to my parents ______ I feel lost or confused about the future. A. When; whenever B. Whenever; whenever C. When; when D. Whenever; when 【答案】B 【解析】两空均考查 whenever 引导时间状语从句。第一空 whenever「每当/无论何时面对困难」，强调「任何一次都适用」，语气比 when 更强。第二空 whenever 同样表示「每当感到迷茫」，前后呼应一致。A 项 When 不能体现「无论何时」的强调含义；C/D 项前后不一致，语义失衡。 24. achievement /əˈtʃiːvmənt/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 Many people believe that no great ______ (achieve) can be made without years of hard work. To ______ (achieve) your dream, you must be willing to step out of your comfort zone, face challenges and never give up no matter what happens. 【答案】achievement, achieve 【解析】第一空考查 achievement 名词形式「成就」，make great achievements 的变形。第二空考查 achieve 动词用法「实现梦想」，to achieve your dream 不定式作目的状语。区分 achievement（名词，「成就」）和 achieve（动词，「实现」）这一中考核心派生词对。 （2）任务型转换 原文：She managed to realize her lifelong dream of becoming a professional dancer through years of hard training. 题干：She was able to ______ her lifelong dream of becoming a professional dancer through years of hard training. 【答案】achieve 【解析】考查同义转换。manage to realize = achieve，将「设法实现」用高一级词汇 achieve 替换。be able to = manage to，完成双重置換。考查学生对核心动词 achieve 与 realize/fulfill 等同义表达的掌握。 25. however /haʊˈevə(r)/ （1）单项选择 ________ difficult the situation is, a positive attitude will always help you find a way out. A. However B. Whatever C. No matter D. Wherever 【答案】A 【解析】However + adj. + 主语 + 谓语 构成让步状语从句，相当于 No matter how + adj.。干扰项 C 缺 how，B 和 D 与句意不符。 （2）任务型转换 原文：No matter how carefully you plan, unexpected problems may still arise. 题干：________ carefully you plan, unexpected problems may still arise. 【答案】However 【解析】However + adv. = No matter how + adv.，however 放在句首引导让步状语从句。 26. musician /mjuˈzɪʃn/ （1）单词填空 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 Mozart was not only a gifted ________ (music) but also a ________ (music) genius whose ________ (music) talent appeared at a very early age. 【答案】musician, musical, musical 【解析】第一空 musician 为名词「音乐家」；第二空 musical genius 意为「音乐天才」，musical 作定语修饰 genius；第三空 musical talent「音乐天赋」。考查 music 的三级派生。 27. death /deθ/ （1）首字母填空 根据句意及首字母提示，在空白处填入适当的单词。 The old man's d________ came as a shock to everyone in the village.

A. coach; coach B. coach; couch C. couch; coach D. couch; bus 【答案】A 【解析】第一个 coach 意为「教练」，第二个 coach 意为「长途汽车」。考查 coach 的一词多义。干扰项 D 中 bus 意思对但未体现该词的双重含义。 30. pretty /ˈprɪti/ （1）单项选择 —What did you think of the film? —It was ________ good, but the ending was ________ disappointing. I expected something more surprising. A. pretty; pretty B. prettily; pretty C. pretty; prettily D. prettily; prettily 【答案】A 【解析】两空都需要副词修饰形容词，pretty 作副词意为「相当」。prettily 意为「漂亮地」，不符合语境。考查 pretty 作副词与形容词的辨析。 （2）任务型转换 原文：The homework was quite challenging, and most students spent over two hours on it. 题干：The homework was ________ challenging, and most students spent over two hours on it. 【答案】pretty 【解析】pretty = quite，作副词修饰形容词 challenging，考查近义副词的替换。 31. knee /niː/ （1）首字母填空 根据句意及首字母提示，在空白处填入适当的单词。 The old man hurt his k________ badly when falling down the stairs.
