二、单项选择(8分)
1. It takes great ________ to keep trying when you meet difficulties.
A. effort B. courage C. way D. habit
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:当你遇到困难时,坚持尝试需要极大的勇气。
effort努力;courage勇气;way方法;habit习惯。根据句中“keep trying when you meet difficulties”可知,面对困难仍坚持尝试,这需要很大的勇气,courage最符合语境。
2. Tom used to ________ in bed late, but now he is used to ________ up early because he wants to run in the morning.
A. stay; get B. staying; get C. stay; getting D. staying; getting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:汤姆过去常常睡懒觉,但现在他习惯早起,因为他想要在早上跑步。
stay待;get up起床。第一个空used to do sth,表示“过去常常做某事”,第一个空应填动词原形stay;第二个空be used to doing sth表示“习惯于做某事”,第二个空应填动名词getting。
3. With lots of practice, he could finish the task ________.
A. on purpose B. in return C. by accident D. with ease
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:经过大量练习,他能够轻松地完成这项任务。
on purpose故意地;in return作为回报;by accident偶然,意外地;with ease轻易地,毫不费力地。前半句“With lots of practice”是提示线索:大量练习之后,做事情就会毫不费力。应填with ease。
4. — How long ______ your family ______ in this town?
— Since 2018. We ______ here when my father got a job.
A. have; lived; moved B. did; live; moved C. have; lived; have moved D. did; live; have moved
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你们家在这个城镇住了多久了?——自2018年以来。当我的父亲得到工作时,我们搬到了这里。
考查时态辨析。问句“How long”询问动作持续的时间,需用现在完成时(表示从过去开始持续到现在的动作),因此第一空和第二空应填“have lived”;答句中“since 2018”进一步确认现在完成时,第三空“when my father got a job”表示具体过去时间点,需用一般过去时“moved”表示动作在该时间发生。故选A。
5. I wonder ________ he will come to my party if he ________ free tomorrow.
A. that; is B. whether; is C. whether; will be D. if; will be
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我想知道如果他明天有空,是否会来参加我的聚会。
that无实义;whether是否;if如果。第一空:根据“I wonder”可知,此处指想知道是否会来,用whether;第二空:“ if he…free tomorrow”为if引导的条件状语从句,遵循主将从现原则,主句为一般将来时,因此从句用一般现在时。
6. It’s very clever ________ him ________ good ways to memorize new words.
A. for; to find B. of; to find C. for; finding D. of; finding
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他很聪明,找到了记忆新单词的好方法。
clever意为“聪明的”,是描述人的品质的形容词,固定句型为It’s+形容词+of sb. to do sth.,表示“某人做某事是……的”;而It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.中的形容词是用来描述事情的。本句clever形容人,介词用of;该句型中it作形式主语,真正主语是后面的动词不定式to do,应填of;to find。
7. I will wait here ________ you come back. Please don’t be late.
A. unless B. until C. if D. though
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我会在这里一直等到你回来。请不要迟到。
unless除非,如果不;until直到……为止;if如果;though虽然,尽管。根据主句中的延续性动词wait以及下文“Please don’t be late.”可知,此处表示说话人的等待动作会一直持续到对方回来为止,需使用引导时间状语从句的连词until。
8. The invention of the Internet has ________ changed the way people communicate with each other.
A. mostly B. nearly C. greatly D. hardly
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:互联网的发明极大地改变了人们彼此交流的方式。
mostly主要地;nearly几乎;greatly极大地;hardly几乎不。根据句意及常识可知,互联网的发明对人们交流方式的改变是巨大的,greatly修饰动词changed表示程度,符合语境。

Have you ever seen “vertical farms” (垂直农场)? They are a new way of growing food in cities. Unlike traditional farms that need a lot of land, vertical farms grow crops in tall buildings. This idea is becoming more and more popular in China as cities grow bigger and land becomes less available.
One of the largest vertical farms in China is in a city in Jiangsu. Scientists there grow vegetables in a building with many floors. Each floor has rows of plants that grow under special LED lights. The temperature and humidity are carefully controlled to make sure the plants grow well. This method uses much less water than traditional farming because water is recycled in the system.
In the past, people had to travel far to buy fresh vegetables. Now, vertical farms in cities can provide fresh vegetables to local supermarkets. The food does not need to travel long distances, so it stays fresher and is better for the environment.
Vertical farming has many advantages. It can produce food all year round, no matter what the weather is like outside. It also uses less land and water, which makes it a good choice for cities. Moreover, it creates jobs for local people. As more cities face the problem of feeding a growing population, vertical farming might be a helpful solution.
However, vertical farming also has some challenges. The cost of building and running a vertical farm is high. The special lights and climate control systems use a lot of electricity. Scientists are working hard to find ways to make vertical farming more affordable. They hope that one day, every city will be able to grow its own food this way.
38. Where do vertical farms grow crops?
A. On the ground in the countryside. B. In tall buildings in cities.
C. Under the sea. D. In small gardens.
39. How does vertical farming use water?
A. It wastes a lot of water. B. It uses more water than traditional farming.
C. It recycles water in the system. D. It does not need any water.
40. How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By comparing with the past.
41. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this text?
A. Sports. B. Travel. C. Science. D. People.
42. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Traditional Farms in China B. The Future of Vertical Farming
C. How to Grow Vegetables D. The Problems of Cities
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. D 41. C 42. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了城市“垂直农场”的概念、运作方式、优势(省水、全年生产、减少运输、环保、创造就业)以及面临的挑战(建设和运营成本高、耗电量大),并展望其未来可能成为解决城市粮食问题的有效方案。

China has a long history of using incense (香). Chinese people love incense and know how to make it. Different kinds of Chinese herbal medicine were chosen by ancient Chinese to make incense that could clean the air and keep the mind clear.
As early as the pre-Qin period, people burnt incense to wish for a better life. Later, it was found that incense could be used to keep away insects. Gradually, the ancient people began to use incense to eliminate (清除) foul gas (臭气) and avoid illness.
In ancient times, incense would also be used to tell time. For example, in the calculation (计算) of exam time people would light a stick of incense. When it burned out, the exam was over. This is what Chinese people call “the duration of a stick of incense”. What’s more, incense in the shape of balls would be put in a special bag. Different smells of incense can work differently. When it is heated, the cloth covering this bag also smells fantastic.
It’s said that incense can also be used to improve people’s health. When I feel stressed, the pleasant smell can make me relaxed. I feel that I can taste the classical culture from the incense. Ancient Chinese people believed that beautiful things that smell good could help people relax.
Chinese people still like incense now. It brings out the intelligence of the mind and silently harmonizes (协调) the mind and the body.

Have you ever tried to cut down your social media time but failed? Have you planned to finish homework first but ended up playing games? ____53____ Here are four simple ways to build your self-control.
____54____ Instead of just trying to fight the urge (冲动) at the moment, change the situation beforehand (提前). For example, if you want to use social media for only 30 minutes a day, you can use a timer(计时器)or even leave your phone in another room while you study. This makes it easier to stick to your plan.
Reward (奖励) your good choices. Our brains love rewards. You can promise yourself a small treat. ____55____ You get it after you finish an hour of study. Rewarding yourself makes good behavior more enjoyable and easier to repeat.
Change how you think about things. Sometimes, we feel like playing games because we only think about the fun part. So, instead of thinking “I must play this game right now”, you can remind yourself, “Finishing my homework first will make me feel relaxed and proud.” ____56____
Learn to accept the feeling, but not act on it. It’s normal to have an urge. ____57____ Just notice it. “Oh, I really want to check my phone now.” But then, decide not to act. Let the feeling pass, and keep doing what you planned.
A. Plan ahead to avoid trouble.
B. If yes, you need self-control.
C. A favorite snack is a good example.
D. Self-control is very important for everyone.
E. You don’t have to fight the feeling every time.
F. Changing your thoughts can help change your actions.
G. The more you practice, the better your self-control will be.
【答案】53. B 54. A 55. C 56. F 57. E
【解析】

根据第一段“Have you ever tried to cut down your social media time but failed? Have you planned to finish homework first but ended up playing games? …Here are four simple ways to build your self-control.”可知,空格前是两个一般疑问句,B项“If yes...”承接上文问句,引出自控力,起到承上启下的作用。
【54题详解】
根据第二段“Instead of just trying to fight the urge at the moment, change the situation beforehand (提前).” 可知,本段关键词为beforehand,A项“Plan ahead to avoid trouble”为本段主题句,概括本段提前改变环境来抵制冲动的中心。
【55题详解】
根据第三段“You can promise yourself a small treat. …You get it after you finish an hour of study.”可知,前文提到可以给自己小奖励,C项“A favorite snack is a good example.”举零食作为小奖励的例子,后文代词it就指代这份奖励,逻辑连贯。
【56题详解】
根据第四段“Change how you think about things.”可知,本段中心是改变思考方式,F项“Changing your thoughts can help change your actions.” 总结本段内容,呼应段首主题句。
【57题详解】
根据第五段“Learn to accept the feeling, but not act on it. It’s normal to have an urge. …Just notice it.”可知,本段主张接纳冲动情绪,不必强行对抗,E项“You don’t have to fight the feeling every time.”和后文“只是留意它就好”语义呼应。

As language learners, it’s important to use dictionaries. Paper dictionaries are often great choices for us. They lead us to think in a more exact way. However, some language learners like online dictionaries better. Here is what some students think of the two kinds of dictionaries.
Lin Tao, 14
I like to look something up in a paper dictionary better. Its explanations are so clear that I can understand them better. I don’t think some online dictionaries are believable. There are many incorrect usages in them, which can make us confused.
Meng Hao, 14
My paper dictionary is my good friend. Whenever I don’t know the meaning of a new word, I can look it up and learn it well by understanding the notes and the example sentences in the paper dictionary.
Tian Xiao, 13
I don’t like carrying a heavy dictionary wherever I go. It’s really convenient and effective (有效的) to learn a language with the help of an online dictionary. We don’t need to spend much time looking up new words. Using an online dictionary makes one a more efficient learner.
35. Why does Lin Tao like paper dictionaries better?
A. Because they are effective.
B. Because their explanations are clear.
C. Because he can understand the notes well.

Have you ever seen “vertical farms” (垂直农场)? They are a new way of growing food in cities. Unlike traditional farms that need a lot of land, vertical farms grow crops in tall buildings. This idea is becoming more and more popular in China as cities grow bigger and land becomes less available.
One of the largest vertical farms in China is in a city in Jiangsu. Scientists there grow vegetables in a building with many floors. Each floor has rows of plants that grow under special LED lights. The temperature and humidity are carefully controlled to make sure the plants grow well. This method uses much less water than traditional farming because water is recycled in the system.
In the past, people had to travel far to buy fresh vegetables. Now, vertical farms in cities can provide fresh vegetables to local supermarkets. The food does not need to travel long distances, so it stays fresher and is better for the environment.
Vertical farming has many advantages. It can produce food all year round, no matter what the weather is like outside. It also uses less land and water, which makes it a good choice for cities. Moreover, it creates jobs for local people. As more cities face the problem of feeding a growing population, vertical farming might be a helpful solution.
However, vertical farming also has some challenges. The cost of building and running a vertical farm is high. The special lights and climate control systems use a lot of electricity. Scientists are working hard to find ways to make vertical farming more affordable. They hope that one day, every city will be able to grow its own food this way.
38. Where do vertical farms grow crops?
A. On the ground in the countryside. B. In tall buildings in cities.
C. Under the sea. D. In small gardens.
39. How does vertical farming use water?
A. It wastes a lot of water. B. It uses more water than traditional farming.
C. It recycles water in the system. D. It does not need any water.
40. How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By comparing with the past.
41. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this text?
A. Sports. B. Travel. C. Science. D. People.
42. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Traditional Farms in China B. The Future of Vertical Farming
C. How to Grow Vegetables D. The Problems of Cities

China has a long history of using incense (香). Chinese people love incense and know how to make it. Different kinds of Chinese herbal medicine were chosen by ancient Chinese to make incense that could clean the air and keep the mind clear.
As early as the pre-Qin period, people burnt incense to wish for a better life. Later, it was found that incense could be used to keep away insects. Gradually, the ancient people began to use incense to eliminate (清除) foul gas (臭气) and avoid illness.
In ancient times, incense would also be used to tell time. For example, in the calculation (计算) of exam time people would light a stick of incense. When it burned out, the exam was over. This is what Chinese people call “the duration of a stick of incense”. What’s more, incense in the shape of balls would be put in a special bag. Different smells of incense can work differently. When it is heated, the cloth covering this bag also smells fantastic.
It’s said that incense can also be used to improve people’s health. When I feel stressed, the pleasant smell can make me relaxed. I feel that I can taste the classical culture from the incense. Ancient Chinese people believed that beautiful things that smell good could help people relax.
