参考答案一、单项选择（共10小题，满分20分）1、B【解析】【详解】句意：——你的表弟在哪里？——他已经出国了。他直到下个月才回来。考查动词时态。根据“Hewon’tcomebackuntilnextmonth.”可知，强调已经发生的动作对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时的结构，排除C和D选项。hasbeen去过某地（现已回来）；hasgone去了某地（还未回来）。根据“Hewon’tcomebackuntilnextmonth”可知，现在还没回来，所以此空应填hasgone，故选B。2、C【解析】【详解】句意：格蕾丝来到了森林最深处最黑暗的地方。她感到非常害怕。考查形容词辨析和最高级。deeper更深的；cleaner更干净的；deepest最深的；cleanest最干净的。根据后文“darkest”可知，此处指最深处最黑暗的地方，应用最高级，C项含义符合，故选C。3、C【解析】【详解】句意：——你听说过2023年5月30日神州16号成功发射吗？——是的！作为一名中国学生，我真的为我们国家感到骄傲。考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据“May30th,2023”可知，时态为一般过去时，又因主语Shenzhou-16是谓语动词send的动作承受者，所以应使用一般过去时的被动语态“be+过去分词”，主语为单数，be动词用was，send过去分词为sent，所以设空处填写wassent。故选C。4、B【解析】【详解】句意：——你们能为慈善机构做些什么？——我们可以发传单为有需要的人筹集资金。考查动词短语。putout熄灭；handout分发；findout找出；cutout删去。根据句意可知这里指“分发传单”，用短语handout，故选B。5、D【解析】【详解】句意：我们的班长很谦虚，从不在别人面前炫耀。考查形容词辨析。generous慷慨的；energetic精力充沛的；organized有组织的；modest谦虚的。根据“henevershowsoffbeforeothers”可知从不炫耀，是谦虚的。故选D。6、D【解析】【详解】句意：这本书很容易，一个七岁的男孩都能读懂。考查enough的用法和非谓语动词。enough修饰形容词时，需要后置，排除AB；根据“Thebookis...foraseven-­year-­oldboy...”可知，此处是“be+adj+forsb+todosth”结构，故选D。7、D【解析】【详解】句意：我最好的朋友詹姆斯是一个诚实的男孩。你可以相信他。考查形容词辨析。unusual不寻常的；wild野生的；unbelievable难以置信的；truthful诚实的。根据“Youcanbelievehim.”可知你可以相信他，可见他是一个诚实的男孩。故选D。8、D【解析】【详解】句意：我没有接你的电话，因为我在和朋友们踢足球。考查动词时态。根据“Ididn’tansweryourcall”可知，表示过去某个时刻正在做的事情，用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+动词现在分词”，主语为I，be动词用was，故选D。9、D【解析】【详解】句意：她整个上午都在等她朋友的电子邮件，但没有发来。考查动词辨析。explain解释；express表示；experience经历；expect期待。由下文“butitdidn’tcome.”可知，她整个早上在期待一个来自朋友的邮件，故选D。10、B【解析】【详解】句意：她没有走得那么快，因为她确信没有人跟着他。考查连词辨析。and和；since因为；until直到……为止；so因此。根据“Shedidn’twalksofast”可知，因为确信没有人跟着她，所以走得很慢，前果后因，用since引导原因状语从句。本题易错选为until，not...until意为“直到……才”，若其引导时间状语从句，fast应改为slowly。故选B。二、完成句子（共5小题，满分10分）11、held【解析】【详解】句意：2023年国际足联女子世界杯在今年七月将在澳大利亚和新西兰举行。hold“举行”，动词，和主语之间是被动关系，结合willbe可知此处是一般将来时的被动语态，动词用过去分词。故填held。12、What’stherightwaytogreetsomeonethere?【解析】【详解】根据题干可知，句子为特殊疑问句，疑问词为What，时态为一般现在时，be动词用is，therightwaytodosth“做某事的正确方式”，greetsomeone“和人打招呼”，there“在那里”。故填What’stherightwaytogreetsomeonethere?13、sitting【解析】【详解】句意：我进房间的时候看见我的猫正坐在椅子上。由“onthechair”推断此处要表达“猫坐在椅子上”；see的用法“seesbdosth看见某人做了某事，seesbdoingsth看见某人正做某事”，由从句“whenIgotintotheroom.”可知此处表达当“我”进房间的那一刻所看到的，因此“我看见我的猫正坐在椅子上”更符合语境。故填sitting。14、(a)sleep【解析】【详解】句意：丹尼太累了，他一上床就睡着了。根据“Dannywassotiredthathefell…assoonashewenttobed.”可知，太累了，上床就睡着了，fallasleep“睡着”，故填(a)sleep。15、(s)ince【解析】【详解】句意：格林先生自2000年以来一直住在杭州，到目前为止已经23年了。根据“Mr.GreenhaslivedinHangzhous...2000andithasbeen23yearssofar.”可知，此处是“现在完成时+since+一般过去时”结构，故填(s)ince。三、补全对话（10分）16、1.D2.E3.A4.F5.B【解析】【导语】本文是一则对话，Mary和Anna就给Jenny买生日礼物展开对话。【1题详解】根据“Metoo.I’mjustthinkingaboutthegift”可知是问对方有没有收到邀请，选项D“你呢？”符合语境，故选D。【2题详解】根据“Well,shelikesreading.Whynotgetherbooks?”可知此处是问对方有什么好的想法，选项E“你有什么好主意吗？”符合语境，故选E。【3题详解】根据“Ithinkshe’llbehappytogetthem.”可知认为对方的主意很好，选项A“听起来不错。”符合语境，故选A。【4题详解】根据“Willyouaskyourparentsformoney?”和“I’vealreadysavedmypocketmoney.”可知此处应作否定回答，选项F“当然不是。”符合语境，故选F。【5题详解】根据“Greatjob.Learningtosaveandusemoneyarebothimportanttous.”可知此处是和省钱或使用钱有关。选项B“我也用它来帮助有需要的人。”符合语境，故选B。四、阅读理解（40分）17、1.D2.C3.A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人ChatGPT强大的功能以及它的弊端。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据“...andasktherobot(机器人)towriteabedtimestory.Justonesecondlater,you’llgetthestoryofacatcalledMax.”可知，让机器人写一个睡前故事，不一会它就会生成一个故事，由此可知这段的猫故事是为了表明机器人可以写故事。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Butifyouaskharmfulquestions...itwillnotgiveyouananswer.”可知，如果你问有害的问题，它不会给你答案。故选C。【3题详解】篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出了这种能写小说的机器人，第二至第三段介绍了这种机器人的优势，第四段介绍了这种机器人存在的问题，第五段进行总结，表示科学家还要继续改善这种机器人，选项A符合文章结构。故选A。18、1.B2.D3.E4.A【解析】【导语】本文就如何度过一个美好的暑假给出了四点建议。【1题详解】根据“Allkindsofexercisearegoodforyourhealth.”可知此处介绍了锻炼的好处，B选项“这是恢复能量的最好方法”符合语境。故选B。【2题详解】根据“Therefore,youshouldlearnsomenecessaryandusefulbasiclifeskillsSuchaswashingclothesandcooking.”可知此处介绍了为什么要学习生活技能，D选项“有一天你会独立生活”符合语境。故选D。【3题详解】根据“Gotravelling.”可知本段介绍了旅游建议，E选项“世界就是一本书”，因此下文“Thosewhodon’ttravelonlyreadonepage,theycan’treadmoreinit.”介绍书与旅行的关系。故选E。【4题详解】根据“Whogiveyoulove,careandsupportallthetime?Yourfather,mother,sister,brotherandotherpeopleinyourfamily.”可知此处提到了父母，A选项“享受跟家庭成员的时光”符合语境。故选A。19、1.D2.B3.C4.D【解析】【导语】本文作者论述了释放自我提升能力的力量是在一切都变得最糟糕的时候，因此作者认为迎接生活中的变化，才能把它变得更好。享受释放自我提升能力的整个过程时，我们才会意识到我们开始变得轻松快乐。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据“Weseethewarningsignswhenthingsgetdifficult.”可知，第2段主要告诉我们，当事情变得艰难时，我们会看到警告信号。也就是说，我们在经历痛苦时才会吸取了教训。故选D。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据“Unlockingourself-improvementpowermeansunlockingourselvesoutoftheboxofthoughtthatisjustthewayweare.”可知，释放我们自我提升的力量意味着把我们自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。因此，要解决简的问题，要建议她把自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。故选B。【3题详解】观点态度题。根据“Happypeopledon’tjustacceptchange;theywelcomeit.”可知，快乐的人不仅仅接受改变；他们对此表示欢迎。也就是说，作者认为，如果你欢迎生活中的变化，你会让它变得更好。故选C。【4题详解】最佳标题题。通读全文可知，尤其是“Unlockingourself-improvementpowermeansunlockingourselvesoutoftheboxofthoughtthatisjustthewayweare.Itissuchapoorexcuseforpeoplewhofearchange.”以及最后一句“Andonlywhenweareenjoyingthewholeprocess(过程)ofunlockingoutself-improvementpower,wewillrealizethatwecantakethingslightandbecomehappy.”可知，作者认为享受释放自我提升能力的整个过程时，我们才会意识到我们开始变得轻松快乐，所以适合本文的标题是：是把我们自己从思想的盒子里打开还是留在里面？故选D。20、1.C2.B3.C4.C5.B【解析】【导语】本文主要介绍了人们是如何品尝出美味的食物的。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Howdothetastebudswork?Infact,theyhavemanytinyhairsonthem.Thesetinyhairssendmessagestoyourbrainaboutthetastesofdifferentfood.”可知味蕾用它们身上的小毛向大脑传递信息，故选C。【2题详解】词句猜测题。根据“Thetastebudsdon’talwaysstaythesame.Theyarereplacedabouteverytwoweeks.”可知味蕾不总是保持不变的，每大概两周会更新迭代。所以可以猜出arereplaced是“被更新”的意思。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据“Anolderpersonmayonlyhave5,000workingtastebuds.That’swhysomefoodmaytastestrongerforyouthanitdoesforanolderperson.”可知年轻人和老年人对同一种食物的味道可能有不同的看法。故选C。【4题详解】篇章结构题。文章第一段通过介绍不同的人喜欢不同的食物来导入主题；第二三两段介绍了舌头上的味蕾是如何工作的；第四段介绍了鼻子能帮助你了解食物的味道；第五段介绍要感谢你的舌头和鼻子，它们帮助你有了味觉。故选C。【5题详解】主旨大意题。根据“Doyouwonderwhyyourfavoritefoodtastessogood?Theanswerisaboutyourtongueandnose.”和文章可知，本文主要介绍了人们是如何品尝出美味的食物的。故选B。五、完形填空（10分）21、1.wild2.peaceful3.fear4.asleep5.voice6.safe7.send【解析】【导语】本文是一只叫作XiaoSu的华南虎的自述，讲述不同时期华南虎所面临的处境。【1题详解】句意：那时，我们在野外是很常见的。根据“asIwentaroundintheforest”可知，此处指在野外，英文表达为inthewild，故填wild。【2题详解】句意：生活相当平静。was后接形容词作表语，备选词peaceful“平静的”符合，故填peaceful。【3题详解】句意：每天，我都生活在失去土地或被杀害的恐惧中。根据“Ilivedin…oflosingmylandorbeingkilled.”及备选词可知，生活在失去土地或被杀害的恐
