A. bank B. poster C. budget D. block
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了明智地使用我们的钱,我们应该首先制定一个预算。
bank银行;poster海报;budget预算;block块;街区。根据“To use our money wisely”可知,为了明智用钱,需要先制定计划,make a budget为固定搭配,意为“制定预算”。应填budget。
22. It’s important to have a ________ sleep schedule for good health.
A. easy B. special C. balanced D. regular
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了健康,有一个规律的睡眠时间表是很重要的。

A. remind B. receive C. respect D. remember
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——珍妮,请提醒我把书归还给图书馆。——当然可以。
remind提醒;receive收到;respect尊重;remember记得。根据“....me to return the book to the library.”可知,说话人请求对方提醒自己还书,短语remind sb. to do sth.意为“提醒某人做某事”。
24. —The summer vacation is coming. I’d like to swim in the sea.
—Don’t swim in the deep area, ________ when you are alone.
A. probably B. perhaps C. especially D. actually
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——暑假快到了。我想去海里游泳。——不要在深水区游泳,尤其是当你独自一人的时候。
考查副词辨析。probably大概;perhaps也许;especially尤其;actually实际上。根据“Don’t swim in the deep area…when you are alone.”的语境可知,此处强调独自一人时更需避免危险,需用“especially”表示强调。故选C。
25. —Peter, I’m decorating my bedroom. Could you please ________ the photos on the wall?
—With pleasure.
A. hang up B. stand up C. get up D. pack up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Peter,我正在装饰我的卧室,你能把照片挂在墙上吗?——很乐意。
hang up悬挂;stand up站立;get up起床;pack up打包。根据“decorating my bedroom”及“on the wall”可知,装饰卧室把照片弄到墙上通常是“悬挂”。故选A。

A. when B. because C. until D. although
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了安全,直到地铁停下来你才能靠近它。
when当……时候;because因为;until直到……为止;although虽然。根据“To be safe”和“mustn’t get close”可知,为了安全起见,地铁未停稳时不能靠近,即“直到”它停下来才能靠近,not...until表示“直到……才……”。应填until。
27. —Linda, what is our father doing in the kitchen?
—Making cakes, I guess. ________ delicious they smell!
A. What B. How C. What a D. How a
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——琳达,我们的爸爸在厨房里做什么?——我想是在做蛋糕。它们闻起来多么香啊!
What修饰名词;How修饰形容词或副词。本句中心词“delicious”为形容词,且后无名词,符合“How+ 形容词 + 主谓”结构,应填How。
28. —________ your father ________ in a post office two years ago?
—Yes, but now he works in a bank.
A. Does; work B. Does; works C. Did; worked D. Did; work
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你父亲两年前在邮局工作吗?——是的,但现在他在银行工作。
根据时间状语“two years ago”可知,句子时态为一般过去时,变为一般疑问句需借助助动词Did,后面的实义动词用原形work。

Not long ago, my free time was really boring. After school or on weekends, I’d just lie on the sofa and watch TV for ____29____. Cartoons, movies, game shows… I watched ____30____ everything.

Who needs TV when you can have fresh air, beautiful views, and exciting activities? I’ve learned that real fun and joy ____41____ exploring the outdoors, not just sitting and watching shows. It’s a ____42____ that changes how I see my free time, and I can’t ____43____ to find more amazing places!

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者从沉迷电视感到空虚,到在父亲建议下尝试徒步,最终爱上户外自然,发现生活真正乐趣的转变过程。
【29题详解】
句意:放学后或周末,我会躺在沙发上看几小时电视。
根据“After school or on weekends, I’d just lie on the sofa and watch TV”及常识,看电视消磨时间通常持续数“小时”,hours“小时”符合语境。排除minutes“分钟”;days“日;天”和months“月”。
【30题详解】
句意:卡通片、电影、游戏节目……我几乎看所有节目。
根据前文“Cartoons, movies, game shows”列举的多种节目类型,可知作者几乎看所有节目,almost“几乎”符合语境。yet“然而”;never“从不”和still“仍然”与语境不符。
【31题详解】
句意:但即使看了那么多节目,我内心感到空虚。
根据“But”转折及前文“boring”可知,看电视并未带来满足感,内心“空虚”,empty“空虚的”符合语境。full“满的”;happy“快乐的”和angry“生气的”与语境不符。
【32题详解】
句意:你应该锻炼并享受风景,而不是待在这里!
根据“Go outside!”可知,去外面通常是为了享受自然“风景”。scenery“风景”符合语境。排除exercise“锻炼”,因为前文已提到。food“食物”和music“音乐”与“去外面”的语境不符。
【33题详解】
句意:他邀请我,“这周末去徒步怎么样?……”
根据“How about going hiking this weekend?”可知,此处是提出“邀请”,invited“邀请”符合语境。排除joked“开玩笑”;amazed“使惊讶”和told“告诉”。
【34题详解】
句意:那里将会充满乐趣!
根据“There’s a beautiful landscape waiting for us.”和前文内容可知,父亲为了说服作者,会强调徒步充满“乐趣”,fun“乐趣”符合语境。peace“和平”;treasure“财富”和air“空气”与语境不符。
【35题详解】
句意:顶部的景色很美,会让你惊叹。
根据语境可知,此处考查固定搭配take your breath away,意为“令人大为惊叹”,breath符合语境。排除money“钱”;umbrella“雨伞”和rubbish“垃圾”。
【36题详解】
句意:刚开始爬山时,我的腿感觉很沉重。
根据“climbing”可知,爬山时腿会感觉沉重,legs“腿”符合语境。hands“手”;eyes“眼睛”和ears“耳朵”与“爬山”的语境不符。
【37题详解】
句意:但后来,我看到了高大的绿树和在树上唱歌的鸟儿。
根据“the tall, green trees and birds singing in them”可知,这些内容是作者在徒步过程中亲眼看到的,因此用saw表示“看见”。listened“听”;heard“听见”;smelt“闻到”均不能同时对应“the tall, green trees”。
【38题详解】
句意:我们走上一座小山,当我们到达山顶时,我被所见景象震惊了:一个大湖,在阳光下像一面蓝色的镜子一样闪闪发光。
根据后文“more beautiful than any TV show”可知,此处是表达美景令人“惊讶/惊叹”,surprised“惊讶的;震惊的”符合语境。排除bored“无聊的”;tired“累的”和relaxed“放松的”。
【39题详解】
句意:有时,我们甚至会在乡下露营。
根据上文“go hiking with my family”以及下文“At night, we sit by the fire, look at the stars”可知,作者一家进行的是亲近自然的户外活动,露营的地点应是乡下。countryside“乡下;农村”符合语境。city“城市”;town“城镇”;field“田野”均不如countryside与全文的户外自然环境相吻合。
【40题详解】
句意:待在户外让我很开心,就好像我是这个神奇世界的一部分。
根据“Being outside makes me happy”以及作者从喜欢看电视到喜欢探索户外的变化可知,作者感受到自己与大自然融为一体。part“部分”,be part of意为“是……的一部分”,符合语境。thousands“数千”;because“因为”;lots“大量”均不能构成合理表达。
【41题详解】
句意:我了解到真正的乐趣来自探索户外,不是坐着看表演。
根据“joy…exploring the outdoors”可知,此处是表达乐趣“来自”户外探索,come from“来自”符合语境。give up“放弃”;pick up“捡起”和turn around“转身”与语境不符。
【42题详解】
句意:这是一次改变了我看待空闲时间方式的经历,我迫不及待地想去发现更多令人惊叹的地方!
根据全文作者从“watch TV”到“go hiking with my family”的明显转变可知,这次户外经历改变了作者对空闲时间的看法。journey“经历;旅程”符合语境。guide“指南”;past“过去”;fact“事实”均不能准确概括这次经历。
【43题详解】
句意:我迫不及待地想去发现更多令人惊叹的地方!
根据“find more amazing places”以及作者已经喜欢上户外探索可知,他期待继续寻找新的地方。can’t wait to do sth.意为“迫不及待做某事”,是固定搭配。wait“等待”符合语境。decide“决定”;forget“忘记”;try“尝试”均不能构成can’t wait to的固定表达。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者家庭每周日聚餐的传统,以及作者从小时候觉得愚蠢到如今理解其中蕴含的家庭关爱意义的转变过程。
【44题详解】
句意:当我还是个小男孩时,母亲开始要求我们每周至少参加一次家庭聚餐。根据设空,此处应填入一个动词,结合所给词语,此处考查固定搭配begin to do sth.,意为“开始做某事”,根据时间状语从句“When I was a little boy”可知,句子描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时,动词要用过去式,begin的过去式为began。
【45题详解】
句意:当我还是个小男孩时,母亲开始要求我们每周至少参加一次家庭聚餐。根据空后的“a week”可知,此处考查固定短语once a week,意为“每周一次”。
【46题详解】
句意:每个星期天,我母亲买很多食物并把它带到我的祖母家。此处修饰名词短语grandma’s house,需要用I“我”的形容词性物主代词形式my“我的”,作定语。
【47题详解】
句意:我们等待更多的家庭成员到来,然后才一起在我外婆的餐桌旁吃饭。wait for sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“等待某人做某事”,此处应用动词不定式,结合“eating together at the table”和所给词语,此处用come的不定式形式to come。
【48题详解】
句意:在过去,我觉得那是一个愚蠢的传统。a silly后接可数名词单数,根据前文提到的“家族聚餐”和所给词语可知,此处tradition符合语境,意为“传统”。
【49题详解】
句意:然而,现在我发现作为一家人聚在一起是很棒的。句子是固定句型It’s+adj.+to do sth.,意为“做某事是……的”,因此,此处应填入一个形容词,However“然而”具有转折关系,结合前文的“a silly tradition”和所给词语可知,此处fantastic符合语境,意为“极好的”,和前文形成对比。
【50题详解】
句意:对我来说,晚餐不仅仅是一顿饭,而是一个交谈和玩耍的好时光。此处考查固定搭配not just…but…,意为“不仅……而且……”,表示转折递进关系。
【51题详解】
句意:在漫长的一周的学习和工作之后,我们可以谈论一切。a long后接名词单数,结合“of school and work”和所给词语可知,此处week符合语境,意为“周”。
【52题详解】
句意:它让我感到非常快乐。根据句意和所给词语可知,此处考查固定搭配make sb. do sth.,意为“让某人做某事”,根据上下文时态可知,此处是一般现在时,主语It是第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式makes。
【53题详解】
句意:最终,我明白了这个传统的真正意义。此处位于句首修饰整句话,应用副词,结合“I understand the true meaning of this tradition”和所给词语finally符合语境,位于句首,首字母要大写。
【54题详解】
句意:它是关于家庭,一群互相关心的人。根据句意和所给词语,此处考查固定短语care about,意为“关心”;句子是who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people,且关系代词在从句中作主语,people为复数,从句谓语动词用原形。

【答案】55. C 56. D 57. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国不同年龄段孩子对应的家务清单以及美国人让孩子做家务的原因。
【55题详解】
根据第一段中“American people think it’s important to tell children their duty in the family.”可知,美国人让孩子做家务是为了教会孩子他们在家庭中的责任。
【56题详解】
根据表格里“Ages 6‑8”一栏中“Take out the rubbish.”可知,7岁属于6‑8岁这个年龄段,这个年龄段的孩子可以倒垃圾。
【57题详解】
对比表格家务内容可知,10岁孩子要做难度更高的家务,2‑3岁孩子的家务十分简单,因此十岁的孩子会认为两到三岁孩子的家务是容易的(Easy)。
B
One evening last summer, I asked my 14-year-old son, Jack, to help with dinner. His question surprised me, “What is a colander (漏勺)?” he said.
I was the only one who could cook for the family! But that night, when I told him a colander is the thing with holes, I knew there was something else I should teach Jack. As a mother, I cared about his grades and what kind of person he was. But I always forgot that I should also raise someone who could be a good roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father in the future. I just raised a boy who would always ask, “What’s for dinner, Mom?”
So I made a plan: I would teach Jack housework. I was happy that he said yes.
For two hours, three days a week, Jack learned from me. One day, while his tomato sauce (番茄酱) was getting thick on the stove, he washed a chicken and put seasoning (调料) on it to roast. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and put apples in it. All the time, I was telling him why it’s important to preheat the oven (烤箱). I knew he liked playing basketball, but he had to learn to mend socks with me. He tried to stop the sewing lessons, but I said no.
“Thank you for what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Now, he can not only make his own dinner but also cook a big meal for the family. That’s what we call a real man. I’m glad I prepared a great gift for my future daughter-in-law (儿媳).
58. How did the writer feel about Jack’s question?
A. Worried. B. Sad. C. Surprised. D. Angry.
59. What did the mother realize she needed to teach Jack?

【59题详解】
根据第二段中“But I always forgot that I should also raise someone who could be a good roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father in the future.”可知,这位母亲意识到她需要教会杰克如何在日常生活中成为一名合格的家庭成员。
【60题详解】
根据第二段中“As a mother, I cared about his grades and what kind of person he was. But I always forgot that I should also raise someone who could be a good roommate…”可知,句子主语是母亲,结合妈妈对孩子的教育与培养这一语境,可以判断raise在此处表示“养育、抚养”,与Bring up同义。

Did you ever hear of the Silk Road before? Do you know what an important part it plays in the world? Did you visit any famous places along the road? The Silk Road went through Asia (亚洲), the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6, 440 km from Xi’an to Rome.
My dad loves the Silk Road very much and he told me many things about it. Last summer, my family went on holiday and went to some places on the road.
We started at Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road. It connected three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also important. It’s now a modern city, but you can still get a feeling of history when you visit it.
The next stop was Jiayuguan. It was also an important place on the Silk Road. It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, many people travel through the city. An important part of the Great Wall was also in here.
After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in the famous poem by Wang Zhihuan. It was in the Gobi Desert (沙漠) and connected Central Asia and China. I want to know how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago.
This trip wasn’t just for fun. It helped me understand the history of the area and see how people from different places influenced (影响) each other in many ways.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people. They are ready to lend a helping hand to others in need.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down (被烧毁) and people might get hurt. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire. The Jacksons didn’t lose everything because the firemen came so fast.
And what about our police who protect our families, our homes and important things? The police have helped so many families this past year. They have saved people and pets, and protected our houses and things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers in this community. We have people cleaning the street and keeping our community clean and healthy. We have road workers fixing holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?
We get a lot from all these people and they keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support (支持) each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.
68. Why does the writer mention the Jackson place?
A. To describe how homes are built. B. To show how dangerous fires can be.
C. To explain why fire stations are important. D. To tell people that firemen work very fast.
69. What do police protect according to the passage?
A. Pets and cars. B. Schools and hospitals.
C. Only homes and families. D. Families, homes and important things.
70. Which service workers are not mentioned (提到) in the passage?
A. Doctors and nurses. B. Teachers and police.
C. Bus drivers and shop assistants. D. Street cleaners and road workers.
71. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different Service Jobs B. Our Community Heroes
C. Why We Depend on Each Other D. The Jackson Family Fire Rescue (救援)
72. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】68. C 69. D 70. C 71. C 72. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍社区各类服务工作者的贡献,呼吁人们互相帮助共建美好社区。
【68题详解】
第二段提到:“If a home catches fire...because the firemen came so fast.”,作者以杰克逊家的火灾事件为例,是为了说明消防站的重要意义,解释消防站存在的必要性。
【69题详解】
第三段介绍:“They have saved people and pets, and protected our houses and things after the heavy rains.”,警察的保护对象包含人、住宅和重要物品。
【70题详解】
通读第二至第四段,文章介绍了消防员、警察、环卫工人、道路工人、医生、护士、教师等服务工作者,未提及公交司机和店员。
【71题详解】
第一段开头点明主旨“Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another.”,全文通过消防员、警察、环卫工人、老师、医生等例子,说明社区中的人们相互依赖、彼此帮助,因此最佳标题是C选项“Why We Depend on Each Other”。
【72题详解】
文章第一段总起,引出社区内乐于助人的服务工作者这一核心话题;第二、三、四段分别介绍消防员、警察、其他服务工作者的贡献,属于分述内容;第五段总结全文,呼吁人们互相帮助。全文为总分总结构,对应A选项的图示。

One evening last summer, I asked my 14-year-old son, Jack, to help with dinner. His question surprised me, “What is a colander (漏勺)?” he said.
I was the only one who could cook for the family! But that night, when I told him a colander is the thing with holes, I knew there was something else I should teach Jack. As a mother, I cared about his grades and what kind of person he was. But I always forgot that I should also raise someone who could be a good roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father in the future. I just raised a boy who would always ask, “What’s for dinner, Mom?”
So I made a plan: I would teach Jack housework. I was happy that he said yes.
For two hours, three days a week, Jack learned from me. One day, while his tomato sauce (番茄酱) was getting thick on the stove, he washed a chicken and put seasoning (调料) on it to roast. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and put apples in it. All the time, I was telling him why it’s important to preheat the oven (烤箱). I knew he liked playing basketball, but he had to learn to mend socks with me. He tried to stop the sewing lessons, but I said no.
“Thank you for what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Now, he can not only make his own dinner but also cook a big meal for the family. That’s what we call a real man. I’m glad I prepared a great gift for my future daughter-in-law (儿媳).

Did you ever hear of the Silk Road before? Do you know what an important part it plays in the world? Did you visit any famous places along the road? The Silk Road went through Asia (亚洲), the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6, 440 km from Xi’an to Rome.
My dad loves the Silk Road very much and he told me many things about it. Last summer, my family went on holiday and went to some places on the road.
We started at Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road. It connected three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also important. It’s now a modern city, but you can still get a feeling of history when you visit it.
The next stop was Jiayuguan. It was also an important place on the Silk Road. It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, many people travel through the city. An important part of the Great Wall was also in here.
After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in the famous poem by Wang Zhihuan. It was in the Gobi Desert (沙漠) and connected Central Asia and China. I want to know how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people. They are ready to lend a helping hand to others in need.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down (被烧毁) and people might get hurt. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire. The Jacksons didn’t lose everything because the firemen came so fast.
And what about our police who protect our families, our homes and important things? The police have helped so many families this past year. They have saved people and pets, and protected our houses and things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers in this community. We have people cleaning the street and keeping our community clean and healthy. We have road workers fixing holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?
We get a lot from all these people and they keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support (支持) each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.
68. Why does the writer mention the Jackson place?
A. To describe how homes are built. B. To show how dangerous fires can be.
C. To explain why fire stations are important. D. To tell people that firemen work very fast.
69. What do police protect according to the passage?
A. Pets and cars. B. Schools and hospitals.
C. Only homes and families. D. Families, homes and important things.
70. Which service workers are not mentioned (提到) in the passage?
A. Doctors and nurses. B. Teachers and police.
C. Bus drivers and shop assistants. D. Street cleaners and road workers.
71. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different Service Jobs B. Our Community Heroes
C. Why We Depend on Each Other D. The Jackson Family Fire Rescue (救援)
72. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage?
