The Guardian described it as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world”. Construction on the HZMB began in 2009 and cost about 120 billion yuan. The bridge links Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, CGTN reported. The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. It’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. In one section the bridge turns into a 6.7 km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel. The bridge’s engineers had to think of many environmental factors in order to protect the surrounding environment while building the bridge. Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern. The HZMB will make it much more convenient to travel between the three areas it connects. It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes. By drawing local cities and regions closer together, the bridge will help in the area’s development. It is expected to drive the economic development of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities, South China Morning Post noted. 30. What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph Two possibly mean? A. usual B. special C. beautiful D. interesting 31. How long does it take to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai through HZMB? A. 4 hours. B. 2 hours. C. 1.5 hours. D. 45 minutes. 32. The bridge’s engineers had to think of all these things EXCEPT ________. A. the service life B. the animals around C. the speed of wind D. the news media 33. Which of the following is TRUE about the HZMB? A. HZMB is not only a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. B. The size of HZMB is 60 times larger than that of the Eiffel Tower. C. Large ships cannot pass through the sea area above the HZMB tunnel. D. HZMB is helpful to the development of Hong Kong, Macao and all Guangdong cities. 【答案】30. B 31. D 32. D 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了港珠澳大桥的通车时间、建设信息、独特构造、环保措施、交通便利作用以及对区域经济发展的意义。 【30题详解】 文章第2段提到“The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. It’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island”，表明港珠澳大桥在使用寿命、结构形式等多个方面都与普通桥梁不同，有自身的特别之处，unique意为“特别的”，和special同义。 【31题详解】 文章第4段提到“It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes”，表明经港珠澳大桥通行的耗时约为45分钟。 【32题详解】 图片信息提到“The bridge can withdraw wind speeds of up to 185 km/h”，文章第2段提到“It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years”，第3段提到“Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern”，表明建桥需要考虑使用寿命、周边动物、风力等环境因素，全文未提及需要考虑新闻媒体相关内容。 【33题详解】 文章第2段提到“It’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island”，表明港珠澳大桥不只是一座桥，还包含部分隧道和人工岛。 (C) Do you like traditional Chinese art?

On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. But the rabbit’s hair was too soft to write well. Meng was so sad that he threw away the stick into a hole. However, Meng never gave up. A few rainy days later, the stick became fatter in the hole. He picked it up. And he found that the special water had cleaned the oil (油) from the hair.

Playing chess was his favourite hobby. One day, he c____51____ a wise old man to a chess game. The king promised to give the old man any p____52____ if he won the game. I___53___ of wanting gold or silver, the old man only asked for one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two for the s____54____, four for the third and then doubled the amount for each of the rest of the squares. After thinking about it for a m____55____, the King agreed. Finally, the king lost the game and realized he didn’t have e____56____ rice to put on all the squares. 【答案】51. challenged##hallenged 52. prize##rize 53. Instead##nstead 54. second##econd 55. moment##oment 56. enough##nough 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个古老的印度传说：国王喜爱国际象棋，与一位智者对弈，并许诺给予胜者奖赏。智者提出要求，在棋盘的格子上放置成倍增长的米粒。等到棋局结束，国王才发现自己没有足够的大米来兑现这个要求。 【51题详解】 句意：一天，他向一位智者发起国际象棋比赛的挑战。下棋是国王最喜欢的爱好，既然热爱下棋，自然会找人对弈。本句时态为一般过去时，缺少谓语动词；challenge sb. to sth.表示“向某人挑战某事”，故事发生在过去，需用过去式challenged。 【52题详解】 句意：国王承诺，如果老人赢了比赛，就给他任何奖励。“the king promised”及后文“if he wanted gold or silver”表明国王许诺胜者可获奖励，结合首字母p，此处指“奖赏”；prize“奖赏”为可数名词，any后接可数名词单数或不可数名词，此处用单数形式。 【53题详解】 句意：老人没有索要金银，只要求在棋盘第一个格子放一粒米粒。“the old man only asked for one grain of rice...”表明老人选择大米而不是金银，Instead of为固定短语，意为“代替，而不是”，位于句首首字母需大写。 【54题详解】 句意：第二格两粒米，第三格四粒米，剩下每一格的米粒数量都翻倍。后文出现the first、the third，按照棋盘格子依次排序，顺序是第一、第二、第三，此处应用序数词second，对应第二个格子。 【55题详解】 句意：国王想了一会儿，就同意了。老人的要求十分简单，国王没有立刻拒绝，短暂思考之后就答应了。for a moment固定搭配，意为“一会儿”，用来描述思考的时间很短，首字母m对应moment。 【56题详解】 句意：最后，国王输掉了比赛，意识到他没有足够的米放在所有格子上。每个格子米粒不断翻倍，越往后米粒数量会变成一个极其庞大的数字，远远超出国王粮仓的储备。此处需用形容词修饰名词rice，enough是形容词，意为“足够的”，符合“没有足够的米放在所有格子上”的语境。 第二节 完成句子（共7小题；每小题2分，满分14分） 根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。每空限填一词。 57. 我们长大后要依靠我们自己。 We need to ________ ________ ourselves when we grow up. 【答案】 ①. depend ②. on 【解析】 【详解】原句中“依靠”是关键词，表示“依靠”的短语是depend on。本句need to后接动词原形。故填depend；on。 58. 数字在我们生活中起重要作用，我们每天要用到数字做很多事情。 Numbers ________ ________ ________ ________ in our lives, and we use them to do many things. 【答案】 ①. play ②. an ③. important ④. role 【解析】 【详解】原句中“起重要作用”是关键词，表示“起重要作用”的英文是play an important role，是动词短语。句子描述一般事实，用一般现在时，主语Numbers为复数，谓语动词用原形。 59. 当你遇到新单词，把它们抄写在笔记本上。 When you come across new words, ________ them ________ in a notebook. 【答案】 ①. write ②. down 【解析】 【详解】此处缺少“抄写”，英语表达为write down，是动词短语；主句是祈使句，用动词原形。故填write；down。 60. 这是一种稀有的鸟类。 This is ________ ________ ________ rare bird. 【答案】 ①. a ②. type ③. of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“一种”是关键词，对应固定搭配a type of，其中type表示“类型，种类”。 61. 以健康为例，我们可能会一直佩戴小型设备。 ________ ________ ________ ________, we’ll probably wear small devices all the time. 【答案】 ①. Take ②. health ③. for ④. example 【解析】 【详解】原句中“以健康为例”是关键词，表示“以……为例”的短语为“take sth. for example”，表示“健康”的名词为“health”。故填Take；health；for；example。 62. 拿残疾人开玩笑是很不礼貌的。 It’s impolite ________ ________ ________ ________ disabled people. 【答案】 ①. to ②. make ③. fun ④. of 【解析】 【详解】原句中“拿……开玩笑”是关键词，表示“拿……开玩笑”的短语是make fun of。本句句型为It’s +形容词+to do sth.（做某事是……的），to后面接动词原形。故填to；make；fun；of。 63. 两次世界大战之间发生了很多变化。 Many changes ________ ________ between the two world wars. 【答案】 ①. took ②. place 【解析】 【详解】原句中“发生”是关键词，表示“发生”的短语为“take place”，时间状语“between the two world wars”表示过去，故用一般过去时，take的过去式为took。故填took；place。 第三节 书面表达（共1小题，满分20分） 64. 随着社会的进步，手机使用越来越广泛。最近，你班就使用智能手机的情况展开了一次调查（全班50人），调查结果如下图。请你结合调查数据，以“Smartphone, Tool or Toy?”为题，写一篇发言稿在班会课上进行汇报。 内容：1. 描述调查内容，可适当增加细节； 2. 你对使用手机的看法（至少两条）； 3. 合理使用手机的建议（至少两条）。 要求：1.80 词左右（给出部分不计入总词数）； 2. 要点齐全，可适当发挥； 3. 条理清晰，语句通顺连贯，书写规范； 4. 文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。 参考词汇：刷抖音 brush Tiktok 看短视频 watch short videos 影响 influence Dear classmates, Today, I’d like to talk about an important topic: “Smartphone, Tool or Toy?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks a lot for your listening! 【答案】例文 Dear classmates, Today, I’d like to talk about an important topic: “Smartphone, Tool or Toy?” Recently, our class conducted a survey on the use of smartphones.

She says, “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has been almost everywhere to do that. Helen Thayer was born in New Zealand. She has been exploring the world most of her life. At the age of 50, she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. Helen Thayer has never let the age stop her. She and her husband, Bill, had a lifelong dream for their 40th wedding anniversary (周年纪念). They walked1, 600 miles across the Gobi Desert. There they met Mongolian nomads (游牧民) and learned about their culture. To celebrate their 50 years of marriage (婚姻), the Thayers walked almost 4, 000 miles across the Sahara Desert to study the customs (习俗) of the people who lived there. Now they are in their eighties, and they still keep planning for their future trips. Thayer has brought back many stories to share with people around the world. She hopes to encourage people to follow their examples and realize their dreams. What is her advice? Set goals, make plans and never give up. 26. The Thayers met Mongolian nomads when they ________.

Helen Thayer, a Great Explorer (B) The world’s longest cross-sea bridge, the 55-km-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) opened on Oct. 24, 2018. The Guardian described it as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world”. Construction on the HZMB began in 2009 and cost about 120 billion yuan. The bridge links Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, CGTN reported. The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. It’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. In one section the bridge turns into a 6.7 km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel. The bridge’s engineers had to think of many environmental factors in order to protect the surrounding environment while building the bridge. Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern. The HZMB will make it much more convenient to travel between the three areas it connects. It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes. By drawing local cities and regions closer together, the bridge will help in the area’s development. It is expected to drive the economic development of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities, South China Morning Post noted. 30. What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph Two possibly mean? A. usual B. special C. beautiful D. interesting 31. How long does it take to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai through HZMB? A. 4 hours. B. 2 hours. C. 1.5 hours. D. 45 minutes. 32. The bridge’s engineers had to think of all these things EXCEPT ________. A. the service life B. the animals around C. the speed of wind D. the news media 33. Which of the following is TRUE about the HZMB? A. HZMB is not only a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. B. The size of HZMB is 60 times larger than that of the Eiffel Tower. C. Large ships cannot pass through the sea area above the HZMB tunnel. D. HZMB is helpful to the development of Hong Kong, Macao and all Guangdong cities. (C) Do you like traditional Chinese art? Do you want to learn how to make it by hand after finishing your homework?
