一、单项选择(本题共10小题;每题1分,满分10分)
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1.—She won her ________ championship (冠军) in the English Speaking Contest.
—I think it was really ________ moment for her in her life.
A.first, more excited B.the first, the most excited
C.the first, more exciting D.first, the most exciting
【答案】D
句意:——她在英语演讲比赛中赢得了她的第一个冠军。——我认为这真的是她人生中最激动人心的时刻。
第一空,序数词first前有物主代词her修饰,不加定冠词the;第二空,excited感到兴奋的,修饰人;exciting令人兴奋的,修饰物。句中修饰moment应用exciting,根据“in her life”表示范围,可知应用最高级the most exciting。故选D。
2.Of the three boys, Simon drinks ________ water every day, so he often feels thirsty in PE class.
A.less B.the least C.fewer D.the fewest
【答案】B
句意:在这三个男孩中,西蒙每天喝最少的水,所以他在体育课上经常感到口渴。
less更少;the least最少;fewer更少;the fewest最少。根据“Of the three boys”可知是三者之间的比较,应用最高级,排除A、C选项;又因为“water”是不可数名词,修饰不可数名词表示“最少”应用little的最高级the least,而fewest修饰可数名词复数。应填the least。
3.It took me half an hour to ________ the report, and then I ________ the Internet for more information.
A.search; found B.finish; searched C.finish; looked D.search; finished
【答案】B
句意:我花了半小时完成这份报告,然后我上网搜寻更多信息。
search搜寻;found找到;finish完成。第一空固定句型It took sb. some time to do sth.,to后面接动词原形;结合“and then(然后)”逻辑,先完成报告,再上网找资料,第一空用finish。第二空动作发生在过去,要用动词过去式,search the Internet是固定搭配“上网搜索”,search的过去式是searched。
4.Kitty is ________ in our class. She always has a smile on her face.
A.cheer B.the most cheerful C.cheerful D.the cheerfulest
【答案】B
句意:Kitty是我们班最开朗的,她脸上总是带着微笑。
cheer欢呼/喝彩;the most cheerful最开朗的;cheerful开朗的;the cheerfulest错误形式。根据后句“She always has a smile on her face.”可知,前句强调Kitty在班里是“最开朗的”,应填the most cheerful。
5.—Your children can draw very well. But why not take part in the competition?
—What a pity! Simon and Amy are unsure of ________ and a little bit shy.
A.them B.they C.themselves D.their
【答案】C
句意:——你们的孩子们画画非常好。但是为什么不参加比赛呢?——真遗憾!Simon和Amy对他们自己不自信,并且有点害羞。
them他们;they他们;themselves他们自己;their他们的。当宾语和主语指代同一对象时,宾语需用反身代词。本句主语是Simon and Amy,宾语指代他们自己,应填themselves。
6.—Dad, can you give me some advice about the coming monthly test?
—The ________ you think about the questions, the ________ problems you’ll have.
A.more carefully; less B.more carefully; fewer
C.less carefully; less D.less carefully; fewer
【答案】B
句意:——爸爸,关于即将到来的月考你能给我一些建议吗?——你思考问题越仔细,遇到的问题就越少。
more carefully更加仔细地,副词比较级;less更少的,修饰不可数名词;fewer更少的,修饰可数名词复数;less carefully不那么仔细地。“the+比较级,the+比较级”表示“越……,越……”。第一空修饰动词think,用副词比较级more carefully;第二空修饰可数名词复数problems,用fewer。
7.—Amy has reached the final of the poetry competition (比赛).
—So proud of her. I wish her a great ________.
A.skill B.secret C.quality D.success
【答案】D
句意:——艾米进入了诗歌比赛的决赛。——真为她感到骄傲。祝她取得巨大的成功。
skill技能;secret秘密;quality质量;品质;success成功。根据“Amy has reached the final of the poetry competition.”可知艾米进入了决赛,在此情境下通常祝愿对方取得巨大的成功。
8.Wood carving is one of the ________ arts ________ a long history.
A.more famous; with B.most famous; with
C.more famous; having D.most famous; having
【答案】B
句意:木雕是最有名的、拥有悠久历史的艺术之一。
more famous更出名的(比较级);most famous最出名的(最高级);with带有、拥有(介词);having拥有(动词现在分词)。固定结构one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”,因此第一空用most famous;第二空用介词with表示 “带有、具有”,with a long history作后置定语修饰arts。
9.—What are they doing these days?
—They are developing a new programme which can work much ________ than before.
A.quick B.quickly C.more quickly D.quicker
【答案】C
句意:——他们这些天在做什么?——他们正在开发一款新程序,它运行得能比以前快得多。
quick快的(形容词);quickly快地(副词);more quickly更快地(副词比较级);quicker更快的(形容词比较级)。根据“than before”可知,要用比较级;空处修饰动词“work”,需要用副词。quickly是多音节副词,其比较级形式为more quickly。
10.He didn’t buy the expensive lamp. ________, he made one ________.
A.So; itself B.Moreover; himself
C.Besides; itself D.Instead; himself
【答案】D
句意:他没有买那盏昂贵的灯,相反,他自己做了一盏。
So所以;Moreover此外;Besides除……之外;Instead相反,取而代之;itself它自己;himself他自己。前半句说他没买灯,后半句表示取而代之的做法,第一空用Instead;主语是he,对应的反身代词是himself,表示“他自己”。

The Chinese Space Station is called Tiangong, which means “Heavenly Palace” in Chinese. The space station orbits the Earth about 400 kilometres above us.
Tiangong is made up of several parts. The main part is the Tianhe core module. It was launched in April 2021. The Tianhe module is where the astronauts live and work. It has sleeping rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There are also science labs where astronauts do experiments.
The space station is very special because it can grow plants. Astronauts have grown rice, lettuce, and other vegetables in space. This is important because if humans want to live on the Moon or Mars in the future, they need to know how to grow food in space.
Living in the space station is not easy. Astronauts float in the air because there is microgravity. They exercise for about two hours every day to keep their muscles strong. They also talk to their families through video calls.

When you think about a coming math test, do you get nervous? If yes, you are far from alone Math anxiety (焦虑) becomes a common feeling among students around the world. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America shows students in countries with higher levels (水平) of math anxiety may get lower math grades.
A University of Cambridge study shows many people feel worried, nervous, even strong fear when facing a math problem in daily life. Another report from The Guardian says that these people might try not to face something about numbers. That is to say, they would not work on jobs about math, such as science, technology.
However, people with math anxiety aren’t sure to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t conclude (断定) that he is not good at math. He may have a really bad experience (经历) with math and there are ways to make it better,” Daniel Ansari told the London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to relieve math anxiety. If you’re feeling anxious before a math exam, it may be helpful to spend a few minutes understanding those feelings before the exam begins. “You may have a fast heartbeat, but that doesn’t mean you will fail,” Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC. Ian Lyons, at Georgetown University in the US, thinks just like some speakers feel nervous before giving a speech (演讲), this nervous feeling could motivate (激励) us to do better.
33.What do we know about math anxiety?
A.Math anxiety must bring lower math grades.
B.Math anxiety is very common around the world.
C.Having math anxiety will make you fail in the test.
D.The people with math anxiety are often bad at math.
34.Which of the following is TRUE about people with math anxiety?
A.They often face something about numbers.
B.They enjoy working on jobs about science.
C.They may have a bad experience with math.
D.They have a fast heartbeat before every math exam.
35.What does the underlined word “relieve” mean?
A.缓解 B.研究 C.发现 D.引起
36.What can we infer (推断) from Ian Lyons’ idea?
A.Math anxiety is not always bad for us.
B.It’s important for speakers to feel nervous.
C.Sometimes a fast heartbeat means you’ll fail.
D.All people feel nervous when giving speeches.
【答案】33.B 34.C 35.A 36.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,探讨了数学焦虑这一普遍现象,包括它在学生中的普遍性、对成绩的影响、与数学能力的关系,以及缓解数学焦虑的方法。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Math anxiety (焦虑) becomes a common feeling among students around the world.”可知,数学焦虑在全球范围内非常普遍。故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, people with math anxiety aren’t sure to be bad at math. ‘If a child has math anxiety, don’t conclude (断定) that he is not good at math. He may have a really bad experience (经历) with math…’”可知,有数学焦虑的人并不一定数学不好,他们可能有过很糟糕的数学经历。故选C。
35.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“If you’re feeling anxious before a math exam, it may be helpful to spend a few minutes understanding those feelings before the exam begins. ‘You may have a fast heartbeat, but that doesn’t mean you will fail,’ Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC.”可知,在考试前感到焦虑时,花几分钟时间理解这些感受可能是有帮助的。因此,“relieve”在此处的意思是“缓解”。故选A。
36.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ian Lyons, at Georgetown University in the US, thinks just like some speakers feel nervous before giving a speech, this nervous feeling could motivate us to do better.”可知,Ian Lyons认为,就像一些演讲者在演讲前感到紧张一样,这种紧张感可能会激励我们做得更好。因此,我们可以推断出数学焦虑并不总是对我们有害。故选A。
D
In recent years, zero-waste living has been a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce waste.
Last year, I created some free templates (模板) for reusable, zero-waste embroidered gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes and then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps:
Print out the gift tag templates, and then cut out the design you want to make.
If you’re making the tags on a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them on felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with the tailor’s chalk.
Use your sewing needle and embroidery thread. Stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a backstitch to create the design.
If you’re stitching them on felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, and then remove the paper. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card while doing this. It might take a little practice to have a good feel for it.
Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want.
Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.
Finally, tie a loop at the top of the tags, and attach the tags to your gifts.
The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect projects.
They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!
37.The passage probably comes from ________.
A.a fashion magazine
B.a shopping guide
C.a sports weekly
D.the DIY instructions
38.Which of the following sentences is true?
A.If you’re making the tags on felt, print the design onto it.
B.If you’re stitching a card tag, bending or tearing the card will be better.
C.Before attaching the tags to your gifts, you should tie a loop at the top of the tags.
D.It usually takes the writer at least 20 minutes to finish each zero-waste embroidered gift tag.
39.Which of the following examples doesn’t match with “low effort but high effect”?
A.Reading a book to spend a lazy happy afternoon.
B.Riding a shared bicycle around a beautiful city.
C.Buying a robot to do some cleaning when you’re at home.
D.Using sugar paper to make flowers to decorate your bedroom.
40.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To teach us how to relax.
B.To explain the stitching skills.
C.To encourage us to do more handwork.
D.To introduce a way to reduce waste.
【答案】37.D 38.C 39.C 40.D
【导语】本文介绍了作者制作可重复使用的零废刺绣礼物标签的步骤,并表达了推广低废生活方式的理念。
【详解】37.推理判断题。根据文章开头“I created some free templates (模板) for reusable, zero-waste embroidered gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) some more this year. ”和“Let me show you my steps.”可知,文章是作者在讲解自己制作刺绣礼物标签的步骤,属于手工教程类内容。故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据倒数第二步“Finally, tie a loop at the top of the tags, and attach the tags to your gifts.”可知,在将礼物标签绑到礼物上之前,要在顶部打一个环。故选C。
39.推理判断题。根据文中“The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect projects.”可知,“low effort but high effect”指“投入少但效果好”,选项C“买机器人打扫房间”虽然省力,但属于购买行为,并非自己动手获得效果,故与文意不符。故选C。
40.推理判断题。根据首段“In recent years, zero-waste living has been a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce waste.”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种减少浪费的生活方式。故选D。

The Chinese Space Station is called Tiangong, which means “Heavenly Palace” in Chinese. The space station orbits the Earth about 400 kilometres above us.
Tiangong is made up of several parts. The main part is the Tianhe core module. It was launched in April 2021. The Tianhe module is where the astronauts live and work. It has sleeping rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There are also science labs where astronauts do experiments.
The space station is very special because it can grow plants. Astronauts have grown rice, lettuce, and other vegetables in space. This is important because if humans want to live on the Moon or Mars in the future, they need to know how to grow food in space.
Living in the space station is not easy. Astronauts float in the air because there is microgravity. They exercise for about two hours every day to keep their muscles strong. They also talk to their families through video calls.
China plans to send more astronauts to the space station in the future. By 2030, Tiangong will become one of the most important space labs in the world. Scientists from different countries will be invited to do experiments there.

When you think about a coming math test, do you get nervous? If yes, you are far from alone Math anxiety (焦虑) becomes a common feeling among students around the world. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America shows students in countries with higher levels (水平) of math anxiety may get lower math grades.
A University of Cambridge study shows many people feel worried, nervous, even strong fear when facing a math problem in daily life. Another report from The Guardian says that these people might try not to face something about numbers. That is to say, they would not work on jobs about math, such as science, technology.
However, people with math anxiety aren’t sure to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t conclude (断定) that he is not good at math. He may have a really bad experience (经历) with math and there are ways to make it better,” Daniel Ansari told the London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to relieve math anxiety. If you’re feeling anxious before a math exam, it may be helpful to spend a few minutes understanding those feelings before the exam begins. “You may have a fast heartbeat, but that doesn’t mean you will fail,” Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC. Ian Lyons, at Georgetown University in the US, thinks just like some speakers feel nervous before giving a speech (演讲), this nervous feeling could motivate (激励) us to do better.
33.What do we know about math anxiety?
A.Math anxiety must bring lower math grades.
B.Math anxiety is very common around the world.
C.Having math anxiety will make you fail in the test.
D.The people with math anxiety are often bad at math.
34.Which of the following is TRUE about people with math anxiety?
A.They often face something about numbers.
B.They enjoy working on jobs about science.
C.They may have a bad experience with math.
D.They have a fast heartbeat before every math exam.
35.What does the underlined word “relieve” mean?
A.缓解 B.研究 C.发现 D.引起
36.What can we infer (推断) from Ian Lyons’ idea?
A.Math anxiety is not always bad for us.
B.It’s important for speakers to feel nervous.
C.Sometimes a fast heartbeat means you’ll fail.
D.All people feel nervous when giving speeches.

In recent years, zero-waste living has been a way of life for many people, including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce waste.
Last year, I created some free templates (模板) for reusable, zero-waste embroidered gift tags, and I’m excited to stitch (缝) some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes and then reused over and over. Let me show you my steps:
Print out the gift tag templates, and then cut out the design you want to make.
If you’re making the tags on a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them on felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with the tailor’s chalk.
Use your sewing needle and embroidery thread. Stitch the design on the template using the dots as a guide. It’s best to use a backstitch to create the design.
If you’re stitching them on felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, and then remove the paper. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card while doing this. It might take a little practice to have a good feel for it.
Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want.
Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.
Finally, tie a loop at the top of the tags, and attach the tags to your gifts.
The easiness of these tags makes them the perfect low effort but high effect projects.
They’re perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or you could sit on the sofa with a festive film and create some. It’s even more fun with a cup of hot chocolate!
37.The passage probably comes from ________.
A.a fashion magazine
B.a shopping guide
C.a sports weekly
D.the DIY instructions
38.Which of the following sentences is true?
A.If you’re making the tags on felt, print the design onto it.
B.If you’re stitching a card tag, bending or tearing the card will be better.
C.Before attaching the tags to your gifts, you should tie a loop at the top of the tags.
D.It usually takes the writer at least 20 minutes to finish each zero-waste embroidered gift tag.
39.Which of the following examples doesn’t match with “low effort but high effect”?
A.Reading a book to spend a lazy happy afternoon.
B.Riding a shared bicycle around a beautiful city.
C.Buying a robot to do some cleaning when you’re at home.
D.Using sugar paper to make flowers to decorate your bedroom.
40.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To teach us how to relax.
B.To explain the stitching skills.
C.To encourage us to do more handwork.
D.To introduce a way to reduce waste.
