Do you exercise? Have you ever wondered ________ the best exercise is? A. what B. who C. when D. where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你锻炼吗？你有没有想过最好的锻炼是什么？ what什么；who谁；when什么时候；where在哪里。宾语从句“the best exercise is”中缺少表语，询问“最好的锻炼是什么”，需用“what”在从句中作表语。 2. Well, there’s no best exercise for everyone. Just ask ________, “What is the most suitable for me?” A. me B. myself C. you D. yourself 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：嗯，没有适合所有人的最佳运动。问问你自己，“什么最适合我？” me我，宾格代词；myself我自己，反身代词；you你，宾格代词；yourself你自己，反身代词。根据“Just ask…”可知，这是一个祈使句，隐含主语为you，当动作的发出者和承受者是同一人时，宾语应用反身代词，结合语境是建议对方问自己，所以用yourself。 3. If you’re very sporty, go skating or run a marathon. If not, ________ take a walk or ride a bike. A. simple B. simply C. proper D. properly 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你非常热爱运动，就去滑冰或跑马拉松。如果不是，仅仅散散步或骑骑自行车。 simple简单的；simply简单地，仅仅；proper适当的；properly适当地。空处修饰动词短语“take a walk or ride a bike”，需要用副词，排除形容词A和C。根据句意，前后形成对比，建议不做剧烈运动时“仅仅”散步或骑车即可，simply符合语境。 4. Whatever exercise you choose, ________ is more important than taking it often. A. something B. nothing C. anything D. everything 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论你选择什么运动，没有什么比经常锻炼更重要。 something某事；nothing没有什么；anything任何事；everything一切。根据“Whatever exercise you choose”及语境可知，此处强调坚持锻炼的重要性，常用“nothing + 比较级”结构表示最高级含义，即“没有什么比……更重要”。故选B。 5. Believe me! A good ________ can do wonders for your body and mind. A. gift B. lesson C. habit D. secret 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：相信我！一个好习惯能给你的身心带来奇迹。 gift礼物；lesson课/教训；habit习惯；secret秘密。“do wonders for your body and mind”表示对身心产生积极影响，能长期影响身心的通常是“习惯”。 6. It can help you keep fit and ________ your stress. A. reduce B. create C. feel D. spread 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：它可以帮助你保持健康并减少你的压力。 reduce减少；create创造；feel感觉；spread传播。根据“help you keep fit”可知这是有益的事情，结合常识，保持健康有助于减少压力，而不是创造或传播压力。应填reduce。 7. My choice is jogging. It helps me feel ________ after a busy day. A. bored B. boring C. relaxed D. relaxing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的选择是慢跑。它帮助我在忙碌的一天后感到放松。 bored感到无聊的；boring令人无聊的；relaxed感到放松的；relaxing令人放松的。feel是系动词，后接形容词作表语，主语是人，应用-ed形式的形容词；根据语境“after a busy day”可知，忙碌一天后慢跑是为了放松，而不是感到无聊。应填relaxed。 8. I usually jog around the Lihu Lake. Can you ________ there’re hundreds of people jogging there every day, if not thousands? A. agree B. expect C. follow D. imagine 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我通常在蠡湖周围慢跑。你能想象那里每天有数百人，甚至上千人在慢跑吗 agree同意；expect期待；follow跟随；imagine想象。根据句意可知，此处描述人数众多的场景，询问对方能否“想象”这一画面，符合语境。 9. Guess ________ to have a full run around the lake.At least three hours! A. how long does it take B. how long it takes C. how much does it cost D. how much it costs 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：猜猜绕湖跑一圈要花多长时间？至少三个小时！ 根据句意可知，本句是一个宾语从句。宾语从句中应使用陈述语序，即“连接词+主语+谓语”，根据“At least three hours!”可知询问的是时间长短，应用how long。 10. But it’s a perfect place for jogging. The beauty of the lake makes you feel ________ unreal. A. almost B. seldom C. already D. still 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：但这是一个慢跑的完美地方。湖景的美让你觉得几乎不真实。 almost几乎；seldom很少；already已经；still仍然。根据“The beauty of the lake makes you feel... unreal.”可知，湖景之美让人感觉仿佛不真实，此处修饰形容词“unreal”表示程度，almost符合语境。 11. However, jogging can be dangerous too sometimes. You __________ keep “safety first” in mind. A. can B. can’t C. must D. mustn’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：然而，慢跑有时也可能是危险的。你必须把“安全第一”牢记在心。 can能，可以；can’t不能；must必须；mustn’t禁止。根据句意可知慢跑存在危险，因此强调“必须”牢记安全第一。 12. Stay away from the water, and never do it at night __________ you find a friend to go with you. A. if B. unless C. because D. though 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：远离水域，并且除非你找个朋友一起去，否则不要在晚上这样做。 if如果；unless除非；because因为；though虽然。根据“never do it at night”可知是警告晚上不要独自行动，后半句提出例外条件，表示“除非”有朋友陪同才可以，unless符合语境。故选B。 13. Or you may join a jogging club. I __________ one for 5 years. It’s safe and fun! A. have joined B. have left C. have been in D. have been away from 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：或者你可以加入慢跑俱乐部。我已经加入一家俱乐部五年了。它既安全又有趣！ have joined已经加入，短暂性动词短语；have left已经离开，短暂性动词短语；have been in已经在……里面，延续性动词短语；have been away from已经远离，延续性动词短语。句中“for 5 years”是一段时间，现在完成时中和一段时间连用，需要使用延续性动词；have been in可以表达加入某个组织并持续在此组织当中，因此填have been in。 14. —Sounds great! Can I join it too? But I’m afraid I can’t run very fast. —Sure. Don’t worry. __________. A. I agree B. I doubt C. You’ll check D. You’ll manage 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——听起来很棒！我也能参加吗？但是恐怕我跑不快。——当然可以，别担心。你可以做到的。 I agree我同意；I doubt我怀疑；You’ll check你会检查；You’ll manage你能做到。前文在安慰对方，You’ll manage用来鼓励他人，符合语境。 二、完形填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Your mom’s not here yet, Bella,” the school bus driver said. “Do you want to wait for her?” Bella ____15____ herself to slow down and speak clearly, as her speech therapist had taught her. “I know the way, and I can walk by myself now,” Bella said.

I felt great pain in my back, which had been kneed by a player from the other team. I rolled from side to side, tears streaming down. It was a blow to my pride for I was always the man of the match, the best player on the field, popularly known as the “Untouchable”. Soon doctors came. “Jared, can you hear…” Those were the last words I heard before I lost consciousness (知觉). I opened my eyes slowly as silence filled the air. I tried my best to sit up but the weight of my body was like gravity and it pulled me down. I became aware that I had lost sense in my legs. I moved my fingers to feel them. They were still there! Could I be…? I shook my head. “I’m your doctor, Wilson Ty. You are a strong man, Jared. How are you feeling?” Feeling? I could not feel anything. “My legs…” I said, then paused. Dr Wilson Ty began to talk about my condition. But only two words jumped out at me—paralysed (瘫痪的) forever. As I was trying to make sense of what he meant, my coach and a few of my teammates came in. “Coach…help me!” The words came out of my mouth. “It’s OK, Jared. Don’t lose heart.” My coach was trying to avoid saying more as he turned away, hiding the tears. “Coach, I want to play soccer again, no matter what happens. I need you to help me,” I said as I held his arm tightly. I struggled bravely in the next few months to be on my feet again. The hard knock had left me with a spinal cord injury (脊椎损伤). The “Untouchable” had become the “Vulnerable (脆弱的)”. After almost a year in hospital, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground as I made my way to the field. This would be my first game after fate (命运) almost turned my life upside down. Without doubt, it was the game that I won, I thought. As I walked towards the field, the whole stadium was filled with “Hero! Hero!” together with “Welcome back, Untouchable Jared!” on the LED screen. They were shouting louder than they had ever done. My teammates handed the ball to me. The indescribable feeling came to me and this time, there were tears of joy. 31. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. The air. B. Silence. C. The body weight. D. Gravity. 32. When Jared thought Without doubt, it was the game that I won, he probably felt ________. A. free B. proud C. curious D. nervous 33. What is the best title for this story? A. The LED Screen B. A Lucky Boy C. An Unforgettable Game D. The Untouchable 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了素有“Untouchable”之称的优秀足球运动员Jared在比赛中受伤致瘫，凭借顽强毅力坚持康复训练，最终重返赛场、重新获得大家认可的故事。 【31题详解】 第三段提到：“I tried my best to sit up but the weight of my body was like gravity and it pulled me down.”，表明句中it指代前文提到的“the weight of my body（身体的重量）”，句子将身体重量比作重力，是身体的重量（the body weight）让受伤的Jared无法坐起、向下坠。 【32题详解】 倒数第二段提到：“After almost a year in hospital, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground as I made my way to the field. This would be my first game after fate (命运) almost turned my life upside down. Without doubt, it was the game that I won, I thought.”，表明Jared受伤瘫痪后经过近一年的艰苦康复，终于重返赛场，他认为自己战胜了命运的打击，赢了这场和人生的“比赛”，此时内心充满自豪。 【33题详解】 根据全文内容，“Untouchable”是Jared最初的球员称号，结尾观众也高呼“Welcome back, Untouchable Jared!”，这个称号贯穿全文，既点明了Jared的身份，也体现了他坚韧不服输的精神，是全文的核心线索。 D Photosynthesis: ▲ ? You might already know the basics of how photosynthesis (光合作用) works. Plants use sunlight to make the food they need to live. But one day we might be able to use photosynthesis to run our cars, heat our homes, and more! Scientists are working on it right now! Plants are like machines that turn light into food using chlorophyll, which helps them use the sun’s energy to split (分离) water into hydrogen (氢) and oxygen. Plants turn hydrogen into food, but if we can find out how to use the sun to split water, we could use hydrogen as fuel (燃料). Scientists can already split water into hydrogen with a machine called an electrolyzer. But today’s electrolyzers run on electricity, which often comes from a power station that uses fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas. This can cause pollution and produce greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Using the sun to create hydrogen could be a cleaner form of energy. It’s called artificial photosynthesis. Yulia Pushkar is a scientist who’s working on artificial photosynthesis at Purdue University in Indiana. “If we want to create artificial photosynthesis, we have to create a material which will take in the light and split the water,” Dr. Pushkar says. Luckily, Dr. Pushkar and her team have done just that. They have created materials that split water into hydrogen under light. There’s a problem, though that sounds great. The best electrolyzers have iridium (铱) inside. Iridium is very rare. Now she’s working on a different way to make hydrogen from sunlight by using iron. Iron is very abundant on Earth. So, it’s much easier and cheaper to find than iridium. We also need to be able to use it in our cars and homes. Most cars today still use gasoline. If we can make and use hydrogen, we won’t run out of it. And it doesn’t produce harmful greenhouse gases. Dr. Pushkar is hopeful about artificial photosynthesis. “We and other researchers around the world are working hard to develop clean energy,” she says. “Our artificial photosynthesis is the way forward.” 34. Why does Dr Pushkar use iron instead of iridium in the research? A. Because of its richness. B. Because of its quality. C. Because of its weight. D. Because of its power. 35. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Of course, just being able to make hydrogen isn’t enough. A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 6 C. Paragraph 7 D. Paragraph 8 36. Why does the writer end the passage with Dr. Pushkar’s words? A. To describe her valuable daily work. B. To prove her contributions to the research. C. To show her confidence in the research. D. To thank her team and other researchers. 37. Which of the following is the most suitable for ▲ ? A. Not Just For Plants B. More Than Just Sunlight C. More Choices For Oil D. Not Good For Fossil Fuels 【答案】34. A 35. C 36. C 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了人工光合作用的研究进展及其作为清洁能源的潜力。 【34题详解】 根据第六段“Iron is very abundant on Earth. So, it’s much easier and cheaper to find than iridium.”可知，Dr. Pushkar使用铁代替铱是因为铁更丰富、更便宜。 【35题详解】 “Of course, just being able to make hydrogen isn’t enough.”意为“当然，仅仅能够制造氢气是不够的”。根据第七段“We also need to be able to use it in our cars and homes.”可知，该段主要讲述不仅要制造氢气，还需要能将其应用于汽车和家庭，题干所给的句子放在第七段开头可起到承上启下的作用，承接前文成功制氢的进展，引出后续的应用要求。 【36题详解】 根据最后一段Pushkar博士的话“We and other researchers around the world are working hard to develop clean energy... ‘Our artificial photosynthesis is the way forward.’”提到她对人工光合作用抱有希望，认为这是未来的发展方向，以此结尾是为了体现她对这项研究的信心。 【37题详解】 全文开篇介绍光合作用原本是植物的生理过程，进而延伸到人类研发人工光合作用将其作为新型清洁能源的技术方向，说明光合作用不再仅应用于植物自身，“Not Just For Plants”最贴合文章核心主旨，适合置于文章的标题处。 第II卷(非选择题 共50分) 四、词汇运用(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

Yesterday I ________ (call) Uncle Wang, and he agreed to meet me at the museum. 【答案】called 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天我给王叔叔打了电话，他同意在博物馆和我见面。时间状语Yesterday表示过去，句子要用一般过去时，call的过去式是called。 56. He __________ (introduce) an old painting to a few foreign visitors when I arrived. 【答案】was introducing 【解析】 【详解】句意：我到达时，他正在向几位外国游客介绍一幅古画。根据“when I arrived”可知从句是一般过去时，表示过去某个时间点。而主句表示在这个时间点，他正在给外国游客介绍古画，要用过去进行时，即“was/were+doing” ，主语He是单数，所以用was，应填was introducing。 57. He gave me a lot of information about the paintings and I hope we __________ (learn) even more through the school trip. 【答案】will learn 【解析】 【详解】句意：他给了我很多关于这些画作的资料，我希望我们能在校园旅行中学到更多。后半句中hope表示“希望”，希望发生的是还未到来的校园旅行里的动作，是将来要发生的行为，所以要用一般将来时“will+动词原形”的结构，故填will learn。 六、阅读表达(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 The Lantern Festival is a very important part of traditional Chinese celebrations.

I often join beach clean-ups with my friends. I like taking pictures of nature. C. I’m Emma. I was born in New Zealand, but I’ve recently moved to Australia. At my new school, I joined the school drama club and I’ll be in my first play next month. I’d love some advice about how not to get nervous in front of an audience or any other tips about acting! D. My name is Li Lei and I live in Shanghai, but I was born in Singapore. I’ve had to change schools, but not my favourite hobby-drawing cartoons from my imagination. I’m also interested in some bloggers that post short films to show how to draw cartoon characters. C “Please help me get through this!” I watched the big LED screen. There were five minutes left. I felt great pain in my back, which had been kneed by a player from the other team. I rolled from side to side, tears streaming down. It was a blow to my pride for I was always the man of the match, the best player on the field, popularly known as the “Untouchable”. Soon doctors came. “Jared, can you hear…” Those were the last words I heard before I lost consciousness (知觉). I opened my eyes slowly as silence filled the air. I tried my best to sit up but the weight of my body was like gravity and it pulled me down. I became aware that I had lost sense in my legs. I moved my fingers to feel them. They were still there! Could I be…? I shook my head. “I’m your doctor, Wilson Ty. You are a strong man, Jared. How are you feeling?” Feeling? I could not feel anything. “My legs…” I said, then paused. Dr Wilson Ty began to talk about my condition. But only two words jumped out at me—paralysed (瘫痪的) forever. As I was trying to make sense of what he meant, my coach and a few of my teammates came in. “Coach…help me!” The words came out of my mouth. “It’s OK, Jared. Don’t lose heart.” My coach was trying to avoid saying more as he turned away, hiding the tears. “Coach, I want to play soccer again, no matter what happens. I need you to help me,” I said as I held his arm tightly. I struggled bravely in the next few months to be on my feet again. The hard knock had left me with a spinal cord injury (脊椎损伤). The “Untouchable” had become the “Vulnerable (脆弱的)”. After almost a year in hospital, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground as I made my way to the field. This would be my first game after fate (命运) almost turned my life upside down. Without doubt, it was the game that I won, I thought. As I walked towards the field, the whole stadium was filled with “Hero! Hero!” together with “Welcome back, Untouchable Jared!” on the LED screen. They were shouting louder than they had ever done. My teammates handed the ball to me. The indescribable feeling came to me and this time, there were tears of joy. 31. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. The air. B. Silence. C. The body weight. D. Gravity. 32. When Jared thought Without doubt, it was the game that I won, he probably felt ________. A. free B. proud C. curious D. nervous 33. What is the best title for this story? A. The LED Screen B. A Lucky Boy C. An Unforgettable Game D. The Untouchable D Photosynthesis: ▲ ? You might already know the basics of how photosynthesis (光合作用) works. Plants use sunlight to make the food they need to live. But one day we might be able to use photosynthesis to run our cars, heat our homes, and more! Scientists are working on it right now! Plants are like machines that turn light into food using chlorophyll, which helps them use the sun’s energy to split (分离) water into hydrogen (氢) and oxygen. Plants turn hydrogen into food, but if we can find out how to use the sun to split water, we could use hydrogen as fuel (燃料). Scientists can already split water into hydrogen with a machine called an electrolyzer. But today’s electrolyzers run on electricity, which often comes from a power station that uses fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas. This can cause pollution and produce greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Using the sun to create hydrogen could be a cleaner form of energy. It’s called artificial photosynthesis. Yulia Pushkar is a scientist who’s working on artificial photosynthesis at Purdue University in Indiana. “If we want to create artificial photosynthesis, we have to create a material which will take in the light and split the water,” Dr. Pushkar says. Luckily, Dr. Pushkar and her team have done just that. They have created materials that split water into hydrogen under light. There’s a problem, though that sounds great. The best electrolyzers have iridium (铱) inside. Iridium is very rare. Now she’s working on a different way to make hydrogen from sunlight by using iron. Iron is very abundant on Earth. So, it’s much easier and cheaper to find than iridium. We also need to be able to use it in our cars and homes. Most cars today still use gasoline. If we can make and use hydrogen, we won’t run out of it. And it doesn’t produce harmful greenhouse gases. Dr. Pushkar is hopeful about artificial photosynthesis. “We and other researchers around the world are working hard to develop clean energy,” she says. “Our artificial photosynthesis is the way forward.” 34. Why does Dr Pushkar use iron instead of iridium in the research? A. Because of its richness. B. Because of its quality. C. Because of its weight. D. Because of its power. 35. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Of course, just being able to make hydrogen isn’t enough. A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 6 C. Paragraph 7 D. Paragraph 8 36. Why does the writer end the passage with Dr. Pushkar’s words? A. To describe her valuable daily work. B. To prove her contributions to the research. C. To show her confidence in the research. D. To thank her team and other researchers. 37. Which of the following is the most suitable for ▲ ? A. Not Just For Plants B. More Than Just Sunlight C. More Choices For Oil D. Not Good For Fossil Fuels 第II卷(非选择题 共50分) 四、词汇运用(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38. The English textbooks are ________ (值得) reading again, for we can meet many old friends. 39.
