My Favourite Invention
My favourite invention is the smartphone. It was invented by many people over time. Smartphones allow us to communicate with friends and family easily. We can also search for information, take photos, and watch videos. They have made our lives more convenient and connected. I think smartphones are very useful, but we should use them wisely. They help us learn new things and stay in touch. Without smartphones, life would be very different. I’m grateful for this amazing invention.

(时间:90分钟,满分:100分)
一、单项选择。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
1.I ________ join the school volunteer club next term.
A.am going to B.is going to C.are going to
【答案】A
【解析】句意:下学期,我打算加入学校志愿者俱乐部。
句中“next term”为表示将来的时间状语,提示动作发生在将来,应用一般将来时be going to结构。主语为I,对应的be动词选用am。
2.—Why not try again?
—________. I will never give up.
A.Good idea B.I’m sorry C.That’s terrible
【答案】A
【解析】句意:——为什么不再试一次?——好主意。我永远不会放弃。
Good idea好主意;I’m sorry对不起;That’s terrible那太糟糕了。上句“Why not try again?”是提出建议,结合后句“I will never give up.”可知,此处要对提出的建议表示赞同。应填Good idea。
3.What about ________ together to finish the task?
A.work B.working C.works
【答案】B
【解析】句意:一起工作完成任务怎么样?
What about是用来提出建议的句型,about是介词,后面接动词时要用动名词形式,应填working。
4.We ________ keep trying until we make it happen.
A.should B.are C.do
【答案】A
【解析】句意:我们应该不断努力,直到取得成功。
should应该;are是;do做。情态动词should后接动词原形,符合句子语境,are后不能直接跟动词原形,do放在此处语义不通。
5.That girl often ________ notes to improve her English.
A.take B.takes C.taking
【答案】B
【解析】句意:那个女孩经常做笔记来提升英语。
根据主语“That girl”是第三人称单数,且频率副词often提示句子时态为一般现在时,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式takes。
6.—Will you choose ________ a fireman?
—Of course. I want to put out the fire and save people in danger.
A.be B.to be C.being
【答案】B
【解析】句意:——你将选择成为一名消防员吗?——当然。我想灭火并拯救处于危险中的人们。
choose后接动词不定式作宾语,构成choose to do sth.结构,意为“选择做某事”。根据语法规则,choose后应用不定式to be。
7.—The postmen are busy ________ letters every day.
—Yes, they work so hard.
A.sending B.to send C.send
【答案】A
【解析】句意:——邮递员们每天忙于送信。——是的,他们工作如此努力。
be busy doing sth.意为“忙于做某事”,此处应用动名词形式,应填sending。
8.Kangkang regrets ________ those words. He was too angry at that time.
A.to saying B.saying C.to say
【答案】B
【解析】句意:康康后悔说了那些话。他当时太生气了。
regret doing sth.意为“后悔做过某事”,指动作已发生;regret to do sth.意为“遗憾要做某事”,指动作未发生。根据“He was too angry at that time.”可知话已说出口,现在感到后悔,应用动名词形式。应填saying。
9.He can’t keep on ________. He is too tired.

The compass (罗盘) brings a lot to the whole world. It is an important 16 in both China’s history and the world’s history. People can travel anywhere freely and 17 with its help. It’s an 18 with a needle (指针) which always points to the south. Tourists and sailors always use it a lot.
The first compass was invented in China between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD.It’s said that a farmer wrote down all he had found. In his 19 , some rocks stuck to all the iron (铁) objects. He felt very 20 , because he never saw it before. After that, people found magnetite (磁铁石) can point to the 21 direction if it is hung up. They found the ladle (长柄勺) of a compass pointed south 22 . Ancient Chinese used it to find places. They started to use it for sailing in the eleventh century. There was no 23 that people depended on it very much.
First compasses were made of lodestone, but later a magnetized steel needle was used as 24 part. It 25 Europe between the 12th and 13th centuries. Later, it’s also used in other ways like space.

【答案】16.B 17.C 18.A 19.C 20.C 21.A 22.C 23.B 24.B 25.C
本文主要介绍了罗盘的历史、发明过程及其对世界航海的重要影响,充分体现了中国古代科技智慧的价值所在及意义。
【解析】16.句意:它是中外历史上的一项重要发明。
空前提词an important修饰单数名词,全文围绕compass展开,罗盘属于创造出的新事物。“invention”意为“发明”符合语境;“project”意为“项目”;“change”意为“改变”,均不符合罗盘的属性。
17.句意:有了它的帮助,人们可以自由、准确地去往任何地方旅行。
空格副词修饰动词travel,罗盘核心作用是辨别方位、保证出行路线无误,“correctly”意为“准确地”符合语境;“luckily”意为“幸运地”;“loudly”意为“大声地”,语义和罗盘功能不匹配。
18.句意:它是一种带有指针的仪器。
本句介绍罗盘物品属性,罗盘是用于方位测量的工具器具。“instrument”意为“仪器,器具”符合语境;“example”意为“例子”;“action”意为“行动”,无法指代罗盘实物。
19.句意:在他的笔记中,有些石头粘在所有铁器上。
前文提到“a farmer wrote down all he had found.”,记录内容对应的载体是笔记。“note”意为“笔记,记录”符合语境;“dream”意为“梦”;“order”意为“命令”,和“写下发现”的语境不符。
20.句意:他感到非常惊讶,因为他以前从未见过。
根据后半句“because he never saw it before.”,陌生现象会让人产生惊奇情绪。“surprised”意为“惊讶的”符合语境;“bored”意为“无聊的”;“relaxed”意为“放松的”,情绪逻辑不通。
21.句意:人们发现磁石悬挂时可以指向相同的方向。
罗盘指针固定指向南方,磁石拥有恒定不变的指向特征。“same”意为“相同的”符合语境;“different”意为“不同的”;“similar”意为“相似的”,不符合磁石固定指向的特点。
22.句意:他们发现罗盘的勺柄一直指向南方。
本句描述罗盘长柄勺恒定不变的指向规律。“all the time”意为“始终,一直”符合语境;“so far”意为“到目前为止”;“in the end”意为“最后”,无法表达持续恒定的状态。
23.句意:毫无疑问,人们非常依赖它。
固定搭配there was no doubt that...表示“毫无疑问……”,是固定句式。“doubt”意为“怀疑”符合语境;“interest”意为“兴趣”;“need”意为“需求”,不能构成该固定句型。
24.句意:后来磁化钢针被用作主要部分。
对比早期磁石材质,钢针成为罗盘核心关键零件。“main”意为“主要的”符合语境;“light”意为“轻的”;“simple”意为“简单的”,无法体现钢针的核心地位。
25.句意:它在 12 至 13 世纪传入欧洲。
本句表达罗盘传播抵达欧洲这一地点动作。 “arrived in”意为“抵达,传入”符合语境;“travelled with”意为“和……同行”;“traded with”意为“和……交易”,不能表达物品传播至某地的含义。

【解析】31.第1段开头提到“If you want to compare two cities, you can talk about population, size, streets and hills. Here are two tips:”,随后列出两条关于比较级和million用法的建议。该段主要介绍如何比较城市。
32.最后1段提到“My favourite city is Xi’an. It lies in the middle of China.” 该句直接说明西安位于中国中部。
33.“Tip 2”提到“two million(确切数字,无s/of); millions of(数百万,模糊数字)”。 根据规则,“millions of tourists”符合“millions of + 复数名词”的用法,因此B项正确。A项“two millions people”错误(确切数字不加s);C项“million of trees”错误(少了s)。
34.最后1段提到“It’s famous for old walls and history.”,该句直接说明西安以古城墙和历史闻名。
35.最后1段提到“The hills around the city are lower than those in Sichuan.”,该句直接说明西安周围的山比四川的山更低。

本文介绍了未来服装的三种创新功能:自动清洁、充当电子屏幕、利用太阳能储存电力给手机充电,展现了未来服装多样化的实用用途。
【解析】36.根据文章第二段最后一句“You just need to put them under sunlight or a light.”可知,让未来衣服自我清洁的方法是将其置于阳光下。选项B“By putting them in the sun.”符合文意。
37.第三段划线句子“The coats may not be far away.”字面意思是“这种外套可能不远了”,结合前文提到中国科学家已经能制造这种电子织物,可知此处指这种衣服很快就能问世,人们很快就能穿上。选项C“People will be able to wear the coats soon.”符合句意。
38.根据第四段上下文“Your mobile phone is going to die? ... You can charge it with your coat! ... solar panels can get power ... charge the phone later.”可知,手机没电时可以用外套给它“charge”,且涉及太阳能板获取电力,因此这里的“charge”意为“充电”,即把电力输入手机。选项B“Supply power to it.”符合语境。
39.根据第一段“Sending information”(发送信息)可知①正确;根据第二段“You may say goodbye to the washing machine”可知衣服是自我清洁,而不是洗洗衣机,②错误;根据第一段“giving directions”和第三段“check directions”(查看方向)可知③正确;根据第四段“They can save power”(它们可以节省电力)可知④正确。综上,①③④正确。选项C符合。

In 1877, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, the first machine that could record and play sound. He was experimenting with a telegraph when he noticed that the needle made a sound. He wondered if sound could be recorded. He worked for months and finally succeeded. The phonograph was a huge success. But Edison didn’t stop there. He later invented the light bulb, motion pictures, and many other things. He held over 1,000 patents. Edison believed in hard work and teamwork. He said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” His inventions changed the world.

51.weighs 52.less 53.afraid 54.come 55.easily
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了几种有趣又实用的创意发明,旨在帮助人们解决日常生活中的小烦恼。
【解析】46.句意:这里为你介绍几种有趣的发明。此处需要一个名词,作介词of的宾语,且由“kinds of”修饰,表示“几种……”。前文提到“modern life”,后文列举了多种产品,说明它们都是发明创造,所以选择invent,并用复数形式inventions。
47.句意:它们能防止雨水弄湿你的脚。此处需要一个名词,作介词off的宾语。前文提到“shoes”和“rain”,说明该产品保护的是双脚,且与“feet”对应。
48.句意:你厌倦了在家拖地吗?此处需要一个名词,作动词cleaning的宾语。后文提到“Cleaner Cat Brushes”是清洁工具,且“clean the floor”表示“拖地/打扫地板”,符合语境,所以选择floor,此处用单数形式floor。
49.句意:别担心,也许你的“猫”能比你做得更好。此处需要一个副词,修饰整个句子,表示推测。结合语境,这是一种幽默的说法,用“perhaps”表示“也许,可能”,符合语气,所以选择perhaps,且位于句首,需大写首字母。
50.句意:Cleaner Cat Brushes能帮你坐下来放松。此处需要一个动词,与“sit back”并列作宾语补足语,且跟在help后接动词原形。因为产品是清洁工具,目的是让人省力,“relax”表示“放松”,符合语境,所以选择relax,用原形relax。
51.句意:它重五公斤。此处需要一个动词,作谓语,且描述客观事实用一般现在时,主语It为第三人称单数。因为“weigh”表示“重达”,与“five kilos”搭配,符合语境,所以选择weigh,用第三人称单数weighs。
52.句意:那么你的通话将会少于五分钟。此处需要一个形容词比较级,作表语。前文说电话很重,所以通话时间会变短,“little”的比较级“less”表示“更少的”,符合语境,所以选择little,用比较级less。
53.句意:你害怕黑暗吗?此处需要一个形容词,作表语,构成短语“be afraid of”表示“害怕……”。后文提到“Lighted Slippers”能在黑暗中照明,说明是针对怕黑的人,所以选择afraid,用原形afraid。
54.句意:如果天黑了,强大的LED灯就会亮起。此处需要一个动词,与“on”构成短语,在will后接动词原形。因为“come on”表示“(灯)亮起”,符合语境,所以选择come,用原形come。
55.句意:现在你可以轻松地空着双手在黑暗区域行走。此处需要一个副词,修饰动词walk。因为产品解放了双手,让人行走更轻松,“easily”表示“容易地,轻松地”,符合语境,
