A. a B. an C. the D. / 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：谷爱凌，一个18岁的选手，在2022年北京冬奥会上赢得了两枚金牌。 a一个，用于辅音音素前；an一个，用于元音音素前；the这个/那个，表特指；/不填。此处泛指“一个 18 岁的选手”，18的英文表达为eighteen，是以元音音素开头的单词，因此前面应用不定冠词an。 2. —Our city ________ a lot in the past ten years. —Exactly. More and more tall buildings have appeared. A. changes B. changed C. has changed D. will change 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们的城市在过去十年里发生了很大的变化。——确实如此。越来越多的高楼大厦出现了。 changes改变（一般现在时，三单）；changed改变（一般过去时）；has changed已经改变（现在完成时）；will change将改变（一般将来时）。根据时间状语“in the past ten years”可知，动作从过去持续到现在并对现在造成影响，应用现在完成时。 3. —________ has your father worked in the tea factory? —Since 2015. A. How often B. How long C. How soon D. How far 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你父亲在这家茶厂工作多久了？——自2015年以来。 How often用于询问频率，意为“多久一次”；How long用于询问时间段或物体长度，意为“多久；多长”；How soon用于询问将来动作还要多久发生，意为“多久以后”；How far用于询问距离，意为“多远”。根据答句“Since 2015.”可知，问句是在询问时间段的长度，故选How long。 4. —________ you ever ________ to the new sports center? —Yes, I ________ there with my father last Sunday. A. Did; go; went B. Have; been; went C. Have; gone; have been D. Did; go; have been 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你去过新的运动中心吗？——去过，上周日我和我爸爸一起去的那里。 ever是现在完成时的标志词。have been to表示“曾经去过某地，人已经回来”；have gone to表示“去了某地，人还没回来”。根据答语“I…there with my father last Sunday.”可知是上周日去过，人已经回来了，前两空应填Have；been。答语中的“last Sunday”是过去的具体时间，用一般过去时，第三空应填过去式went。 5. She runs ________ faster than her sister. A. very B. quite C. much D. so 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她跑得比她妹妹快得多。 very很，非常；quite相当，非常；much……得多（可修饰比较级）；so如此，这么。根据空后的“faster”可知，此处为副词的比较级。副词或形容词的比较级前不能使用very、quite、so等表示“很，非常”的程度副词来修饰（这些副词通常只能修饰副词或形容词的原级）。而much常用于修饰形容词或副词的比较级，用以加强语气，表示“……得多”。应填much。 6. It’s careless ________ Danny ________ his schoolbag on the bus. A. of ; leaving B. for ; to leave C. for ; leaving D. of ; to leave 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：丹尼把书包落在公共汽车上真是太粗心了。 固定句型“It’s + adj. + of/for + sb. + to do sth.”，如果形容词是用来描述人的性格、品质的，介词用of；如果形容词是描述“做某事”这件事的属性，介词用for。形容词careless意为“粗心的”，用来修饰人的品质性格，介词应用of；It为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，因此第二空填to leave。 7. It was difficult ________ Tu Youyou ________ that kind of work back in those days. A. of; to do B. for; to do C. of; doing D. for; doing 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在那段时间，对于屠呦呦来说去做那种工作是困难的。 固定句型It is/was+adj.+for/of sb.+to do sth.意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”。形容词difficult 描述事情性质，介词用for；不定式作真正主语，用to do。 8. The development of robots may ________ some changes in our society. A. care about B. bring about C. take up D. bring down 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：机器人的发展可能会给我们的社会带来一些变化。 care about关心；bring about引起、导致；take up占据；bring down降低。根据句意，机器人的发展与社会变化之间是因果关系，需要填入表示“引起、导致”含义的短语。bring about符合语境。 9. We ________ believe in ourselves and never give up easily. A. must B. need C. can’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们必须相信自己，不要轻易放弃。 must必须；need需要；can’t不能，不会；shouldn’t不应该。结合后文的“never give up”可知，must“必须”，表示必要性，此处构成励志劝勉。 10. People of all ages ________ the great thinkers in ancient history. A. look down on B. look up to C. mix up D. divide into 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：各个年龄段的人都尊敬古代历史上的伟大思想家。 look down on轻视；look up to尊敬；mix up混淆；divide into分成。据“great thinkers”可知，人们对其态度应为正面的敬仰，look up to符合句意。 11. Although the great scientist has passed away, his spirit ________ in his students. A. lives on B. drops out C. comes true D. stands up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然这位伟大的科学家已经去世了，但他的精神在他的学生中继续存在。 lives on继续存在、留存；drops out退出、辍学；comes true实现；stands up站起来。根据前半句“虽然科学家去世了”，后半句表示转折，精神应该“继续存在”。lives on表示“继续存在”，符合语境。 12. Marie Curie is known ________ her great discoveries in physics and chemistry. A. as B. for C. with D. to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：玛丽·居里因在物理和化学方面的伟大发现而出名。 be known as作为……而出名；be known for因……而出名；be known with无此搭配；be known to为……所熟知。根据“her great discoveries”可知是因伟大发现出名，应填for。 13. — Hurry up, ________we will be late for school. — The bus door is too ________. Neither of us can go through it. A. and; narrow B. or; big C. or; narrow D. and; big 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——快点，否则我们上学要迟到了。——这个公交车门太狭窄了。我们两个人都不能通过它。 考查连词和形容词辨析。and和，or否则；narrow窄的；big大的。根据“Hurry up...we will be late for school”可知要快点，否则会迟到，第一空表示“否则”；根据“Neither of us can go through it.”可知，通过不了，说明公交车门太狭窄。故选C 。 14. I wonder where ________. A. the shop is B. does the shop C. will the shop is D. the shop does 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我想知道商店在哪里。 the shop is（陈述语序）；does the shop（疑问语序）；will the shop is（语序和结构错误）；the shop does（语义不符）。根据“I wonder where...”可知后面接宾语从句，宾语从句要用陈述语序，即“引导词 + 主语 + 谓语”。故选用the shop is。 15. —The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I wonder ________. —In your grandparents’ home. A. where we will celebrate it B. when we will celebrate it C. where will we celebrate it D. when will we celebrate it 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——中秋节快到了。我想知道我们将在哪里庆祝它。——在你祖父母家。 分析句子结构可知，空格处位于动词“wonder”之后充当宾语，宾语从句需使用陈述语序（即“连接词+主语+谓语”），C、D两项为疑问语序，排除C、D两项；根据答语“In your grandparents’ home.”可知，此处回答的是具体的活动地点，从句应用表示地点的连接副词where引导，when表示时间与问答语境不符，排除B项。应填where we will celebrate it。 二. 完形填空（每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，理解大意，然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。 Inventions can change our lives in many ways.

The movable-type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable-type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more cultural communication among countries took place.

Its customs have changed a lot over the years. My grandparents told me that in the past, people used to visit their relatives and friends in person during the festival. They used to set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year. Children used to receive red envelopes with real cash inside. Now, many things are different. People often send digital red envelopes through mobile apps instead of giving cash in person. Many families choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV rather than going out. Firecrackers are not allowed in many cities because of environmental concerns. Instead, people enjoy colorful light shows. Although some traditions have changed, the spirit of reunion and happiness remains the same. People still get together for a big dinner on New Year’s Eve and exchange warm wishes. 36.

When he was young, he did not have a good natural memory. He often forgot the content he had read just a few minutes earlier. This brought him lots of trouble in his study, and he felt quite upset about it. Later, Zhang Pu found a useful way to deal with his problem. After reading a passage, he would copy it down word by word carefully. Then he read the copy aloud and burned it. Next, he copied the same passage again and repeated the whole process.

He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 1040 AD (公元). He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable-type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past? First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in the right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally, the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books. The movable-type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable-type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more cultural communication among countries took place. The movable-type printing, the compass (指南针), gunpowder and the paper-making are called four great inventions of China. They make China own an important and even top position in the history of human civilization (文明). 26. When was the movable-type printing invented________. A. About 600 years ago. B. Around 1040 AD. C. Before the Song Dynasty. D. About 400 years ago. 27. What should the workers do after the words were chosen and put in right order? A. Brush ink onto the types. B. Make the clay into movable types. C. Print by using the types. D. Engrave words onto the types. 28. How many steps were there in the movable-type printing? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 29. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. the compass B. gunpowder C. the paper-making D. the movable-type printing 30. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Four great inventions and their position in the history of human civilization. B. Bi Sheng invented the movable-type printing after trying many times. C. The movable-type printing and its importance for cultural communication. D. How Bi Sheng invented the movable-type printing in the Song Dynasty. B Ye Jiaying, also known as “the Daughter of Poetry”, peacefully left the world at the age of 100. She spent her life in creating, researching, and teaching the beautiful art of Chinese poetry. From a young age, Ye had a deep interest in classical Chinese poetry and English. During her university years, she studied poetry from the Tang and Song dynasties with the master of Chinese literature Gu Sui. This shaped her lifelong passion for poetry. From then on, her interest in poetry kept growing. After moving to Canada, she started teaching at several universities in foreign countries. However, her heart remained tied to her hometown—China. In 1979, she started giving free speeches in China during holidays, travelling with her own money. She mainly lived and worked at Nankai University after she came back to China. In 2018 and 2019, Ye gave away all her money, which totalled 35.68 million yuan, to Nankai University. She was given the Touching China Award in 2020. As a poet, scholar, and educator, she published (出版) many meaningful books like Gajaling’s Collection of Poem Commentaries. These books help introduce classical Chinese poetry to the whole world. Even in her 90s, Ye continued to share her knowledge with others and her speeches were widely admired. Ye once said, “I want to connect with the world. I want to do something for humankind. I can do it without asking for much.” 31. What did Ye Jiaying spend her life in? A. Creating, researching, and travelling. B. Creating, researching, and teaching. C.

C 请根据短文内容判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）。 Changes in Spring Festival Customs The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. Its customs have changed a lot over the years. My grandparents told me that in the past, people used to visit their relatives and friends in person during the festival. They used to set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year. Children used to receive red envelopes with real cash inside. Now, many things are different. People often send digital red envelopes through mobile apps instead of giving cash in person. Many families choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV rather than going out. Firecrackers are not allowed in many cities because of environmental concerns. Instead, people enjoy colorful light shows. Although some traditions have changed, the spirit of reunion and happiness remains the same. People still get together for a big dinner on New Year’s Eve and exchange warm wishes. 36. In the past, people used to visit relatives and friends in person during the Spring Festival. 37.

There were many famous calligraphers in history. Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing are among the best-known ones. ____42____ Today, their calligraphy works can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. ____43____ “If I live in China, I’ll become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure,” he said. The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. ____44____ During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away.

This brought him lots of trouble in his study, and he felt quite upset about it. Later, Zhang Pu found a useful way to deal with his problem.

He usually did this seven times for each article until he could keep every sentence in mind clearly. His fingers were worn out because of long-time writing. In cold winter, his hands were cracked, but he never gave up. With years of hard work, he improved not only his memory but also his writing skills. In the end, he became a well-known and knowledgeable writer. To remember this special learning method, Zhang Pu named his study “Seven Copying Studio (七录斋)”.

First, make a list of what you need to review. Put the most difficult subjects first, because your brain works best when you are not too tired. Second, review in small blocks. For example, study for forty minutes, then take a ten-minute walk. This way, your mind stays fresh. Third, use your notes, not only the textbook. Good notes show what the teacher thinks is important. Fourth, test yourself. You can ask a classmate to ask you questions, or close the book and recall what you have read. Remember not to put off review until the last day.
