A. teams B. poems C. jokes D. magazines 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多经典的中国诗歌在世界上广泛传播。它们是中国文化的象征。 teams队伍；poems诗歌；jokes笑话；magazines杂志。根据“classic Chinese”及“symbols of Chinese culture”可知，中国古典诗歌是文化的象征且广泛传播，应填poems。 2. —I rushed here to buy a drink. Why is the shop still closed? —They ________ a short staff meeting. Be patient. A. were having B. have had C. had D. are having 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我冲过来买饮料。为什么商店还关着？——他们正在开一个简短的员工会议。要有耐心。 考查动词时态。根据“Why is the shop still closed”及“a short staff meeting”可知，正在开会所以商店还关着，用现在进行时表示正在进行的动作，故选D。 3. Maria keeps a peaceful mind. She never gets ________ for unnecessary things in daily life. A. excited B. mad C. proud D. happy 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：Maria保持心态平和。她从不因为日常生活中不必要的事情变得生气。 excited兴奋的；mad生气的；proud骄傲的；happy快乐的。根据“Maria keeps a peaceful mind.”可知，她心态平和，推测出她不会因琐事生气。 4.

A. choose B. repair C. lock D. borrow 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你用完共享单车时，别忘了停放好并锁上它——为了每个人的安全。 choose选择；repair修理；lock锁上；borrow借。根据“When you finish using a shared bike”可知，用完共享单车后，为了安全应该停放好并锁上，lock符合语境。 5. —Which book did you read? —I ________ Tales of China last year, and now the second time. A. read B. am reading C. have read D. will read 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你读的哪本书？——我去年读了《Tales of China》，现在是第二次读。 时间状语last year去年，为一般过去时的标志，动词使用过去式read，符合语境。 6. The river has become much clearer ________ the villagers have made great efforts to protect it. A. if B. unless C. because D. though 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这条河变得清澈多了，因为村民们已经做出了巨大的努力来保护它。 if如果；unless除非；because因为；though虽然。分析句子可知，前半句“河流变清澈”是结果，后半句“村民努力保护”是原因，前后构成因果关系，应用because引导原因状语从句。 7.

A. harder B. hardest C. earlier D. earliest 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我取得好成绩时，我总是有一种成就感。它驱使我更加努力地工作。 考查副词比较级。harder更努力地；hardest最努力地；earlier更早地；earliest最早地。根据“much”可知，此处应用比较级；同时结合work，此处应用harder，表示“更努力”。故选A。 8. The writer has got lots of fans in the UK. His new book ________ into English as soon as it comes out. A. was translated B. translated C. is translated D. will be translated 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位作家在英国拥有大量粉丝。他的新书一经出版就将会被翻译成英文。 根据时间状语as soon as it comes out遵循主将从现原则，从句使用一般现在时表将来，主句需要使用一般将来时；主语His new book和动词translate之间属于被动关系，书本是被翻译，一般将来时被动语态结构为will be+过去分词，will be translated符合题意。A为一般过去时被动语态，B为动词过去式主动形式，C为一般现在时被动语态，均不符合时态要求。 三、完形填空（本大题共26小题，每小题1分，共26分） A 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳选项。 What kind of homework do you usually have?

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述安徽女孩尹良创新设计作业形式完成名著阅读任务，借该事例倡导学生发掘趣味，快乐完成课后作业。 【9题详解】 句意：你想要写作业收获乐趣吗？ 根据后文固定搭配have fun doing，fun表示“乐趣”契合搭配要求，time“时间”、luck“运气”、advice“建议”，不符合语境。 【10题详解】 句意：现在我来讲一个女孩的故事。 根据后文整段讲述女孩做作业的具体事例，story表示“故事”贴合叙事内容，name“名字”、life“生活”、talent“天赋”，语义不符。 【11题详解】 句意：她写作业的方式可以帮你愉快完成你的作业。 根据空后省略的名词homework，yours表示“你的（作业）”，名词性物主代词可单独指代前文作业，ours“我们的”、theirs“他们的”、hers“她的”，代词指代有误。 【12题详解】 句意：暑假期间她的语文作业是阅读四大名著。 根据后文the summer holiday时间段，during表示“在……期间”构成during the summer holiday固定搭配，between“在两者之间”、before“在之前”、after“在之后”，介词使用不当。 【13题详解】 句意：随后用自己的话语去描述书中主要人物。 根据前文读完名著的作业任务，describe表示“描述”符合转述人物内容的动作，draw“画画”、understand“理解”、play“玩耍”，句意不通。 【14题详解】 句意：为了增添趣味性，女孩把作业和自己的爱好——画画结合了起来。 根据后文破折号后的提示内容drawing是女孩的爱好，hobby表示“爱好”对应语境，question“问题”、work“工作”、study“学习”，不符合文意。 【15题详解】 句意：人物相关内容条理清晰，便于理解。 根据前文制作思维导图梳理内容，easy表示“容易”说明梳理后的内容易懂，boring“无聊的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”、slow“缓慢的”，形容词表意不符。 【16题详解】 句意：看着配图，你仿佛可以再次品读《西游记》。 根据前文阅读名著的作业背景，again表示“再次”契合翻看配图重读书籍的画面，either“也”、hard“艰难地”、well“很好地”，不符合句子逻辑。 【17题详解】 句意：难怪她的作业迅速在网络走红。 根据女孩创意十足的作业形式，popular表示“受欢迎的、走红的”对应网上广受关注的结果，lost“丢失的”、different“不同的”、meaningful“有意义的”，上下文线索不匹配。 【18题详解】 句意：她是多么富有创意啊！ 根据女孩画画、做思维导图改造作业的新颖做法，creative表示“有创意的”贴合人物特点，helpful“乐于助人的”、important“重要的”、careful“细心的”，形容词定位不符。 【19题详解】 句意：为何不给你的作业增添一点乐趣呢？ 根据固定短语add...to...，add表示“增添”适配搭配，throw“扔”、share“分享”、show“展示”，动词搭配错误。 【20题详解】 句意：你也可以效仿她。 根据借鉴女孩趣味写作业的方式，like表示“像、效仿”贴合语境，about“关于”、with“带有”、from“来自”，介词逻辑不通。 【21题详解】 句意：如果你喜爱唱歌，你可以唱出背诵的内容。 根据后文sing out这一提示词，singing表示“唱歌”前后呼应，reading“阅读”、speaking“讲话”、writing“写作”，前后线索不匹配。 【22题详解】 句意：跟着你喜爱的音乐进行背诵。 根据前文唱歌背诵的设定，music表示“音乐”匹配场景，article“文章”、painting“绘画”、dance“舞蹈”，语义不符。 【23题详解】 句意：多动脑筋，你便能享受写作业。 根据开头have fun doing homework的主旨呼应，enjoy表示“享受”贴合文章核心观点，finish“完成”、pass“通过”、get“得到”，贴合主旨力度不足。 warm create wear happily cold live store his without so idea Some of the little things we usually use in our lives may be those inventions of children's.

Therefore, it’s necessary to learn how to pick out good Pu-erh tea. ①________ Pu-erh tea should be stored in a dark, cool and dry area. It is usually stored in its original (最初的) paper wrapping.

One day, Rodricks opened a package (包裹) that arrived on her desk earlier this month and found “Chilton’s Foreign Car Repair Manual” from the 1970s. It was very surprising for her to find the book from the 1970s that the library used to rent out (出租). Inside the front cover, there was a handwritten note that said: In the mid 1970s, I was living in Lake Elmo and working for a car company. I took out this book for reference (参考). A few months later, I moved and the book got packed up in the move by accident. 47 years later, I found it in my old car with other interesting things from the 1970s. It’s a little overdue (过期的), but I thought you might want it back. I want to say sorry to anyone in Lake Elmo who was looking for this book in the last 47 years. I probably can’t afford the overdue payment, but I will send you enough for another book. The anonymous (匿名的) sender didn’t include a return address, but explained why it was never returned. The sender also included $200 in cash. “This note is precious,” said Rodricks, who values the story behind the book’s journey more than the cash inside. In a time when everything is digital and libraries don’t get as many people renting physical copies as before, it was nice for Rodricks to see a stranger remind her how much they still care. “That just shows how much the sender values the library,” said Rodricks. Unluckily, the book is not in good condition to lend out again, but Rodricks plans to save the note. 43. When did the library rent out the book? A. In 1970. B. In 1975. C. In 2000. D. In 2022. 44. What wasn’t included in the package? A. A book. B. $200 in cash. C. A note. D. A return address. 45. What is the correct order of these events according to the passage? a. The note was written. b. The book was found in a car. c. The library rented out the book. d. The book got packed up in the move. e. Karen Rodricks received the package. A. a-c-d-e-b B. c-d-b-a-e C. e-c-d-a-b D. d-c-a-e-b 46. What does the underlined word “precious” mean? A. Short. B. Beautiful. C. Valuable. D. Surprising. 47. Which words can best describe the anonymous sender? A. Polite and honest. B. Brave and helpful. C. Quiet and friendly. D. Serious and careful. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. B 46. C 47. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一名匿名读者时隔47年归还当年搬家误带走的图书馆旧书，附上道歉纸条与200美元现金；图书管理员十分珍视这件事背后温暖的故事，感慨陌生人对图书馆的这份在意。 【43题详解】 根据第三段的“In the mid 1970s…I took out this book.”可知，图书馆于1975年出租了这本书。 【44题详解】 根据文章倒数第四段中的“The anonymous sender didn’t include a return address”可知，匿名寄件人并未写回寄地址。 【45题详解】 通读全文可知：47年前，图书馆出租了一本书给匿名寄件人；几个月后，匿名寄件人因为搬家无意中把这本书也打包带走了；47年后，匿名寄件人在自己的车中发现了这本书；出于歉意，这个匿名寄件人写了一张便条，连同这本书和200美元现金一起寄给了图书馆；之后Karen Rodricks收到了包裹。故事件顺序为c-d-b-a-e。 【46题详解】 根据画线词后的“…Rodricks, who values the story behind the book’s journey more than the cash inside.”可知，Rodricks十分看重那张便条，认为其中提到的关于那本书的故事很有价值。由此可推知，precious和valuable意思相近。 【47题详解】 根据文章中的第二段“Inside the front cover, there was a handwritten note that said...”、倒数第五段“I want to say sorry to anyone.”及倒数第四段“The sender also included $200 in cash.”可知，发现自己一直未归还从图书馆借的书后，匿名寄件人手写便条表示歉意，并附上了200美元现金，由此可推知，匿名寄件人是个有礼貌、诚实的人。 D Many people say that when they use thick quilts, they have better sleep, lower stress and worry, and are more relaxed than using light ones. Recently, researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study to find out whether using a thick quilt can actually help sleep. Twenty-six young and healthy volunteers took part in the study. In the first stage, they were covered with a thick quilt (weighing about 12% of their body weight) for one hour before bedtime, and then they had an eight-hour sleep. Researchers collected their saliva samples (唾液样本) during the pre-sleep hour to record changes in melatonin (褪黑素) and other hormone concentrations (激素浓度). In the next stage, volunteers were covered with a light quilt weighing about 2.4% of their bodyweight) for the night. They found that when volunteers lay under a thick quilt for an hour before bedtime, they showed about a 32% increase in salivary melatonin concentrations compared to when they used the lighter quilt. Melatonin plays a big role in our body’s sleep-wake cycle. Its release (释放), caused by the reduction (减少) in light at the end of the day, gives messages to the rest of the body’s sleep systems which work and get us ready to fall asleep for the night. The body produces melatonin at night, and there are a few ways to get melatonin from others—certain foods like cherries and milk or melatonin supplements (补充剂). While this study is small and just a first step to explore the health advantages of thick quilts, it does suggest that thick quilts can help sleep. More related studies will be carried out in the future. 48. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Volunteers. B. Researchers. C. Results. D. Times. 49. How did researchers find out the changes of melatonin in the study? A. By recording how long the volunteers have deep sleep. B. By asking if the volunteers sleep well the whole night. C. By collecting volunteers’ saliva samples before bedtime. D. By giving volunteers medical examinations after they fall asleep. 50. What can you learn from Paragraph 4? A. Eating cherries can help people sleep well. B. The body cannot produce melatonin itself. C. Melatonin can hardly influence one’s sleep. D. Melatonin supplements can be used every night. 51. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Where we can have enough melatonin. B. How better sleep brings better health. C. Why thick quilts give better sleep. D. What the connection is between bedtime and sleep. 【答案】48. A 49. C 50. A 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了瑞典乌普萨拉大学关于厚被子有助于睡眠的研究，探讨了其与褪黑素浓度变化的关系。 【48题详解】 根据第三段上文中的“when volunteers lay under a thick quilt for an hour before bedtime”可知，此处they指代志愿者。 【49题详解】 根据文章第三段中的“Researchers collected their saliva samples during the pre-sleep hour to record changes in melatonin…”可知，在这项研究中，研究者们通过收集志愿者们在睡前的唾液样本来弄清褪黑素的变化。 【50题详解】 根据“The body produces melatonin at night, and there are a few ways to get melatonin from others—certain foods like cherries and milk or melatonin supplements”可知，樱桃等食物可以帮助人们获得褪黑素，从而有助于睡眠。 【51题详解】 梳理全文逻辑，第一段引出研究主题，第二段介绍研究目的，第三段介绍研究过程与结果，第四段补充解释褪黑素的作用原理，第五段总结研究结论，整体为“总-分-总”的结构，对应选项D。 【52题详解】 全文围绕“厚被子为什么能改善睡眠”这一主题展开，介绍了相关研究及褪黑素的作用，因此主旨是“为什么厚被子能带来更好的睡眠”。 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从文后的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Every one of us has a chance to try new things. ____53____ The risk is that we will not be satisfied with our choice. For example, we may try a food we have never had before. ____54____ It can be too sour, too salty or too spicy. We may try a new style of music and get a headache. We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed. We may try to speak or write a different language and end up embarrassing ourselves. It sounds risky (有风险的) to us. ____55____ For example, we can try a new food. And we fall in love with it finally. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and finally experience pleasure, even for a minute. We may see why people love that sport so much. If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. ____56____ We can try to write and speak a different language, and we may be a little embarrassed at first, but we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying. ____57____ Then you will have chances to get rewards (回报). A. How can we try a new sport? B. But it is not so bad to take risks. C. And we don’t like the food finally. D. All in all, keep trying something new. E. When we try something new, there’s always the risk. F. In a word, trying something new is interesting and meaningful. G. We can see a new kind of art and may be surprised at its beauty. 【答案】53. E 54. C 55. B 56. G 57. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了尝试新事物虽然存在风险，但最终可能会带来惊喜和回报，鼓励人们不断尝试新事物。 【53题详解】 空后“The risk is that we will not be satisfied with our choice.”提到尝试新事物的风险是对选择不满意，E项“When we try something new, there’s always the risk.”引出下文的风险描述，衔接自然。 【54题详解】 前文“For example, we may try a food we have never had before.”举例尝试从未吃过的食物，空后“It can be too sour, too salty or too spicy.”说明食物可能太酸、太咸或太辣，C项“And we don’t like the food finally.”符合此处尝试新食物的负面结果的语境。 【55题详解】 前文“It sounds risky (有风险的) to us.”说这听起来很有风险，后文“For example, we can try a new food.”转而列举尝试新事物获得美好体验的例子，B项“But it is not so bad to take risks.”起到转折过渡的作用。 【56题详解】 此处和前后文的尝试新音乐、尝试新语言的正面体验并列，G项“We can see a new kind of art and may be surprised at its beauty.”对应前文提到的尝试新艺术的内容，符合并列逻辑。 【57题详解】 空后“Then you will have chances to get rewards (回报).”表示这样你就有机会获得回报，D项“All in all, keep trying something new.”提出总结性的呼吁，引出后续的积极结果，契合语境。 五、补全对话（共5分） 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从文后的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。一空一句。 A: Hey, Linda.

D 【解析】 【导语】这段对话围绕Linda因自家狗狗Lulu身体不适而担忧展开，二人聊到已送狗狗去动物医院，还交流了A打算养一只猫的想法及相关养宠的责任认知。 【58题详解】 空前A看到Linda神色担忧，空后Linda回答自己的狗狗不舒服，对应A选项“Is anything wrong?”，符合上下文询问对方状况的逻辑。 【59题详解】 听完对方说自家狗狗生病的坏消息，日常对话里会先表达同情，对应C选项“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.”，之后再顺理成章询问有没有送医。 【60题详解】 空前A说自己还没有宠物，空后补充说可能养一只猫，对应E选项“But I’m planning to keep one.”，衔接前后语义。 【61题详解】 上文B用Why提问养猫的原因，G选项用Because回答，说明猫性格温顺、不需要太大空间，是对原因的回应。 【62题详解】 空后A认同养宠物不只是和它玩、还要负责任的观点，与上文B提出的需要责任心和细心照料的观点一致，对应D选项“Yes, I couldn’t agree more.”表示同意对方的说法。 六、书面表达（15分） 63. 如何高效学习一直是大家讨论的热点话题。本卷完形填空A）部分文章介绍了把学习与自己的爱好结合起来提高学习效率的方法。假如你所在的学校正在举办以“Learn well and wisely”为主题的演讲比赛，请你根据下面提示，写一篇英语演讲稿。 写作要点： 1.

B Some people love to drink Pu-erh tea, but they don’t know how to choose Pu-erh tea. Some inexperienced people may be taken in (被骗) and spend a lot of money on Pu-erh tea that isn’t of good quality. Therefore, it’s necessary to learn how to pick out good Pu-erh tea. ①________ Pu-erh tea should be stored in a dark, cool and dry area. It is usually stored in its original (最初的) paper wrapping. Not every tea shop stores its Pu-erh tea properly. ②________ Good Pu-erh tea should smell clear. Pu-erh tea may have different tastes depending on its age.

Newer Pu-erh tea looks yellow or green, but it never looks pure black. ④________ Before you buy Pu-erh tea, you’d better taste it. Nearly every tea shop allows customers to taste its tea.

Colors of good Pu-erh tea B. Tastes of good Pu-erh tea C. Pu-erh tea and storage places D. Ways of choosing good Pu-erh C Karen Rodricks who works at a library in the City of Lake Elmo shared one of her memorable experiences on the Internet. One day, Rodricks opened a package (包裹) that arrived on her desk earlier this month and found “Chilton’s Foreign Car Repair Manual” from the 1970s. It was very surprising for her to find the book from the 1970s that the library used to rent out (出租). Inside the front cover, there was a handwritten note that said: In the mid 1970s, I was living in Lake Elmo and working for a car company. I took out this book for reference (参考). A few months later, I moved and the book got packed up in the move by accident. 47 years later, I found it in my old car with other interesting things from the 1970s. It’s a little overdue (过期的), but I thought you might want it back. I want to say sorry to anyone in Lake Elmo who was looking for this book in the last 47 years. I probably can’t afford the overdue payment, but I will send you enough for another book. The anonymous (匿名的) sender didn’t include a return address, but explained why it was never returned. The sender also included $200 in cash. “This note is precious,” said Rodricks, who values the story behind the book’s journey more than the cash inside. In a time when everything is digital and libraries don’t get as many people renting physical copies as before, it was nice for Rodricks to see a stranger remind her how much they still care. “That just shows how much the sender values the library,” said Rodricks. Unluckily, the book is not in good condition to lend out again, but Rodricks plans to save the note. 43. When did the library rent out the book? A. In 1970. B. In 1975. C. In 2000. D. In 2022. 44. What wasn’t included in the package? A. A book. B. $200 in cash. C. A note. D. A return address. 45. What is the correct order of these events according to the passage? a. The note was written. b. The book was found in a car. c. The library rented out the book. d. The book got packed up in the move. e. Karen Rodricks received the package. A. a-c-d-e-b B. c-d-b-a-e C. e-c-d-a-b D. d-c-a-e-b 46. What does the underlined word “precious” mean? A. Short. B. Beautiful. C. Valuable. D. Surprising. 47. Which words can best describe the anonymous sender? A. Polite and honest. B. Brave and helpful. C. Quiet and friendly. D. Serious and careful. D Many people say that when they use thick quilts, they have better sleep, lower stress and worry, and are more relaxed than using light ones. Recently, researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study to find out whether using a thick quilt can actually help sleep. Twenty-six young and healthy volunteers took part in the study. In the first stage, they were covered with a thick quilt (weighing about 12% of their body weight) for one hour before bedtime, and then they had an eight-hour sleep. Researchers collected their saliva samples (唾液样本) during the pre-sleep hour to record changes in melatonin (褪黑素) and other hormone concentrations (激素浓度). In the next stage, volunteers were covered with a light quilt weighing about 2.4% of their bodyweight) for the night. They found that when volunteers lay under a thick quilt for an hour before bedtime, they showed about a 32% increase in salivary melatonin concentrations compared to when they used the lighter quilt. Melatonin plays a big role in our body’s sleep-wake cycle. Its release (释放), caused by the reduction (减少) in light at the end of the day, gives messages to the rest of the body’s sleep systems which work and get us ready to fall asleep for the night. The body produces melatonin at night, and there are a few ways to get melatonin from others—certain foods like cherries and milk or melatonin supplements (补充剂). While this study is small and just a first step to explore the health advantages of thick quilts, it does suggest that thick quilts can help sleep. More related studies will be carried out in the future. 48. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Volunteers. B. Researchers. C. Results. D. Times. 49. How did researchers find out the changes of melatonin in the study? A. By recording how long the volunteers have deep sleep. B. By asking if the volunteers sleep well the whole night. C. By collecting volunteers’ saliva samples before bedtime. D. By giving volunteers medical examinations after they fall asleep. 50. What can you learn from Paragraph 4? A. Eating cherries can help people sleep well. B. The body cannot produce melatonin itself. C. Melatonin can hardly influence one’s sleep. D. Melatonin supplements can be used every night. 51. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Where we can have enough melatonin. B. How better sleep brings better health. C. Why thick quilts give better sleep. D. What the connection is between bedtime and sleep. 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从文后的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Every one of us has a chance to try new things. ____53____ The risk is that we will not be satisfied with our choice.
