2023年度平凉职业技术学院单招《英语》高分题库（含答案详解）

平凉职业技术学院单招《英语》高分题库考试时间：90分钟；命题人：教研组考生注意：1、本卷分第I卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，满分100分，考试时间90分钟2、答卷前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、班级填写在试卷规定位置上3、答案必须写在试卷各个题目指定区域内相应的位置，如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用涂改液、胶带纸、修正带，不按以上要求作答的答案无效。第I卷（选择题60分）一、单选题（20小题，每小题3分，共计60分）1、--Who'sthatspeaking?--（）.A.ThisisJackspeakingB.IamspeakingC.JackismeD.IamJack答案:A解析:这道题考查电话用语的表达方式。在电话交流中，当回答“是谁在说话”时，通常用“Thisis...”来表明自己的身份。选项A“ThisisJackspeaking”符合这种电话用语习惯。选项B、C、D都不是电话中常见且恰当的回答方式。所以应该选择A选项。2、Youdon'tlookwell.Why（）toseethedoctor?A.nottogoB.younottogoC.notgoD.didn'tgo答案:C解析:这道题考查“whynot+动词原形”的固定用法，表示“为什么不......”。A选项“nottogo”形式错误；B选项“younottogo”结构混乱；D选项“didn'tgo”时态不符。在这种表达建议的语境中，“Whynotgo”是正确且常用的结构，所以答案选C。3、Considerthesesituations:Youhavejustreadanexcellentbookandwanttotellafriendaboutit.Youhaveseenanexcitingmovieandwantto（1）yourinstructortogotoseeit.Youhaveheardaninspiringlecture,andwantto（2）yournewfoundknowledgewitharoommatewhodidn'tattendthelecture.Howtogivethistypeof（3）?Youcouldtelleverythingyou（4）aboutthebook,movie,orlecture,butyouwillprobablyjustwanttoselectthe（5）pointsandtellthesetoyourlistener.This,ofcourse,iscalledsummarizing.Tocreateagoodsummary—onethatisbothaccurateandbrief—youneedtofollowtwosteps.First,（6）informationbyreading,takingnotes,orlisteningcarefullysothatyoursummaryisasbriefaspossiblebutstillaccurateand（7）.Youraudiencewillhelpyoudecidehowthoroughyouneedtobe.Ifyougiveyoursummaryto（8）perhapsforanexamination,itwillneedtobeextremelycomplete（9）accurate.Youwillneedtokeepinmindany（10）yourinstructormighthavegivenyouduringthelecturetoindicatewhatheorsheconsidersespeciallyimportant.Ifyouaresummarizingamovieforafriend,youcanbelessthorough.Partofthetaskofsummarizingisknowingwhattoincludeandwhattoleaveout.

第(3)选（）A.knowledgeB.informationC.instructionD.technology答案:B解析:在此上下文中，讨论的是如何向他人传达关于书籍、电影或讲座的内容。这涉及到信息的分享和传递。选项A“knowledge”指的是知识，虽然与学习内容相关，但此处更侧重于传递的具体内容，而非广泛的知识体系。选项C“instruction”通常指教导或指导，与这里的语境不符。选项D“technology”指的是技术，与信息传递的内容无直接关联。而选项B“information”直接对应了需要传递的具体内容，无论是书籍的内容、电影的情节还是讲座的要点，都是信息的组成部分。因此，在此语境下，选择B“information”作为答案是最恰当的。4、__________asthe“FatherofHybridRice",YuanLongpingisrecognizedasoneoftheworld'sleadingexpertsinagriculture.A.KnowingB.KnowC.KnownD.Toknow答案:C解析:这道题考查非谓语动词。“YuanLongping”与“know”之间是被动关系，即袁隆平被知晓，所以要用过去分词形式“Known”。A选项“Knowing”是主动关系；B选项“Know”是动词原形，不能直接作状语；D选项“Toknow”表目的或将来。综上所述，答案选C。5、Thewholeworldmustsparenoeffortto________theproblemscausedbyglobalwarming.A.chooseB.ignoreC.solveD.mention答案:C解析:这道题考查对单词含义的理解和运用。全球变暖带来了诸多问题，整个世界需要采取行动。“choose”意为选择；“ignore”意为忽视；“solve”意为解决；“mention”意为提及。要应对全球变暖导致的问题，需要去“解决”，所以应选C选项。6、Sir,youshould（）attheredlight.Butyoudidn't.A.stopB.havestoppedC.nothavestoppedD.stopped答案:B解析:这道题考查虚拟语气的用法。在这种情境中，“should+have+过去分词”表示本应该做某事但实际上没做。红灯时本应停车，而您没停。A选项stop是一般现在时；C选项nothavestopped意思不符；D选项stopped形式错误。所以应该选B，强调本应停车却未停。7、ChinesescientistsareagainbecomingexcitedaboutthefactthatalargehairyanimalmayliveincentralChina.Nowtheyhopeitwon'tbetoolongbeforetheyareableto（1）itsexistence.Theirconfidenceisthe（2）ofanewdiscoveryofthemysteryanimalinHubeiProvince.TenChinese（3）,enjoyingaholidayinaNationalForestPark,weredrivingdownaroad.Astheirbusturnedacorner,themenweresuddenly（4）bywhattheysaw.Three（5）animals,coveredwithlongdarkhair,werecrossingtheroad.Onseeingtheanimals,theengineersimmediatelystoppedand（6）them.（7）,whentheysawhowtheanimalsmovedthroughtheforestwithgreat（8）andstrength,theydidnotdaretofollowanyfurther.Themendidnottakeany（9）.However,scientistsare（10）bythediscovery,becausetheengineerswereallveryeducatedpeopleandscientistsfeeltheycan（11）whattheydescribed.Afterthediscovery,scientistsreturnedtotheforestand（12）somehairandmeasuredfootprints,about20inchesappearstobethelengthoftheanimal'sfoot'sChinesescientistshavenowsetupaspecialgrouptoexchangeinformationandmakea（13）fortheforest.Butinthemeantime,somepeople（14）tobelievethatthishalf-man,half-monkeyexists.Theywillnotbelievethatitis（15）untiloneoftheanimalshasbeencaught.

第(4)选（）A.frightenedB.surprisedC.happyD.interested答案:B解析:在文中描述的情境中，当工程师们在转弯时突然看到三只被长黑毛覆盖的动物穿过马路，他们的反应是感到惊讶。这种突如其来的、出乎意料的发现与“surprised”（惊讶）这一情感状态相符合。而其他选项如“frightened”（害怕）、“happy”（高兴）、“interested”（感兴趣）均不符合文中描述的情境和工程师们的即时反应。因此，正确答案是B。8、DicklivedinEngland.OnedayinJanuaryhesaidtohiswife,“I'mgoingtoflytoNewYorknextweekbecauseI'vegotsomeworkthere.”“Whereareyougoingtostaythere?”hiswifeasked.“Idon'tknowyet.”Dickanswered.“Pleasesendmeyouraddressfromthereinatelegram,”hiswifesaid.“Allright,”Dickanswered.HeflewtoNewYorkonJanuary31standfoundanicehotelinthecenterofthecity.Heputhisthingsinhisroomandthenhesenthiswifeatelegram.Heputtheaddressofhishotelinit.Intheeveninghedidn'thaveanywork,sohewenttoacinema.Hecameoutatnineo'clockandsaid,“NowI'mgoingbacktomyhotelandhaveanicedinner.”Hefoundataxiandthedriversaid,“Wheredoyouwanttogo?”ButDickdidn'trememberthenameandaddressofhishotel.“Whichhotelaremythingsin?”hesaid,“AndwhatamIgoingtodotonight?”Butthetaxidriverdidnotknow.SoDickgotoutandwentintoapostoffice.Therehesenthiswifeanothertel-egram,andinithewrote,“Pleasesendmemyaddressatthispostoffice.”

第(11)选（）A.inB.onC.atD.with答案:B解析:在句子中，“Hespendssomeofhismoney_____recordsandclothes”描述的是David花钱的用途，即他在唱片和衣服上的花费。在英语中，表示在某物上的花费时，常用介词“on”，因此选项B“on”是正确的选择。10、Withthedevelopmentofscience,moreandmorestudentsdon'tliketakingnotesbyhand.In-stead,theyusedigitalcamerastotakepicturesofthewordsthattheirteacherswriteontheblack-boardorrecordwhattheirteacherssayinclass.Thechildrenmightthinktherearetoomanynotestotakeortheirteacherswriteorspeaksofastthattheycan'ttakemore（specific）notes.Theyaretryingtofindwaystomakethingseasier,sotheyusedigitalcameras.Infact,childrenareveryclevertomakeuseoftechnology.Butdodigitalcamerasreallymaketakingnoteseasier?Notreally.Beforeyoureadnotesfromdigitalcameras,therearealotofthingsyouhavetodo.Tobeginwith,youhavetofindacomputer.Thenyouneedtocopythephotosintothecomputer.Next,youhavetofindaprintertoprintthephotos.Anotherthingisthatyoucan'thearthesoundfromthedigitalcamerasclearlybecausethereisusuallylotsofnoise.Youwillhavetolistentoitslowlyseveraltimesbeforeyouunderstandeverything.Infact,takingnotesbyhandhasmanyadvantages.Forexample,itcanhelpyourememberandunderstandwhatyouarelearning.Inordertosavetime,youcanchoosethemostimportantthingsorthethingsyoudon'tunderstandtowritedown.Youdon'thavetowritedowneverything.Don'tbeafraidtotakenotesbyhand.It'sreallyaneffectiveway.

WhichofthefollowingisTRUEabouttakingnotes?A.Youshouldn'tbeafraidtowritedowneverything.B.Tosavetime,youshouldrememberinsteadoftakingnotes.C.Youshouldwritedownallthewordsthatyourteacherswriteontheblackboard.D.Youonlyneedtowritedownwhatyoudon'tunderstandorsomekeywords.答案:D解析:文章中提到，为了节省时间，可以选择写下最重要或自己不理解的内容，而不是将所有内容都写下来。这种方式可以提高学习效率，专注于关键信息的理解和记忆。因此，选项D“你只需要写下你不理解或一些关键词”是正确的描述。11、Theseteachersoftengettotheoffice（）seveno'clock.A.asearlythatB.asearlyasC.earlierthatD.asearlythan答案:B解析:这道题考查固定短语的用法。“as...as”表示“和......一样”，是常用的比较结构。“asearlyas”意思是“早在......”。在这个句子中，“Theseteachersoftengettotheofficeasearlyasseveno'clock.”表示“这些老师经常早在七点就到办公室了”。A选项“asearlythat”、C选项“earlierthat”、D选项“asearlythan”均为错误搭配，不符合英语表达习惯，所以答案选B。12、Youshouldtry（）aboutthecomingexam.A.don'tthinkB.nottothinkC.don'ttothinkD.notthink答案:B解析:这道题考查“try”的用法。“trytodosth.”表示“尽力做某事”，其否定形式是“trynottodosth.”。A选项“don'tthink”结构错误；C选项“don'ttothink”也不正确；D选项“notthink”不符合“try”的用法。所以应该选择B选项“nottothink”，表示“尽量不去想”。13、-Ican'tfindMr.Brownintheoffice.Whereishe?-He（）Beijingforanimportantmeeting.A.hasbeentoB.hasbeeninC.hasgonetoD.wentto答案:C解析:这道题考查现在完成时的用法。“hasgoneto”表示去了某地还未回来，“hasbeento”表示去过某地已回来，“hasbeenin”表示在某地待了一段时间。根据语境，问布朗先生在哪，说明他去北京还没回来，所以选C。A选项不符合语境，B选项强调在某地的状态，D选项是一般过去时，不符合此处时态要求。14、Abugfliesbyaplant.Thisplanthasaprettyredflower.Thebugsmellssomethingwonderful.Soitgoescloserandclosertotheflower.Thenitseessomeleavesontheplant.Theyarelongandgreenandgoodtoeat,butlookstrange.Theyarefoldedtogether.Thebugfliesoverandsitsonone.(Oops!That'stheendofthebug.)

sweet答案:C解析:在文章中，bug被描述为能够闻到气味、飞向花朵、并落在植物叶子上，最终被食虫植物捕获并用作食物。这些特征和行为符合昆虫的特性，特别是微小的昆虫。因此，我们可以推断出bug在这里指的是一种微小的昆虫。15、从下列选项中找出其括号部分与所给单词括号部分读音相同的选项。（）burn(ed)A.want(ed)B.fail(ed)C.knock(ed)D.produc(ed)答案:B解析:这道题考查单词过去式的读音。在英语中，动词过去式读音有规则变化。burned中ed发音为/d/。failed中ed也发音为/d/。wanted和knocked中ed发音为/ɪd/，produced中ed发音为/t/。所以答案选B。16、Johnishungry.Hewants（）toeat.A.somethingB.anythingC.nothingD.everything答案:A解析:这道题考查不定代词的用法。在英语中，something常用于肯定句，表示“某物”；anything常用于否定句和疑问句；nothing表示“没有东西”；everything表示“一切”。John饿了，他想要“某物”吃，是肯定句，所以用something，答案选A。17、Wefound（）difficulttofinishallthehomeworktoday.A.thatB.thisC.thoseD.it答案:D解析:这道题考查形式宾语的用法。在英语语法中，当宾语较长时，常用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语后置。在“Wefound（）difficulttofinishallthehomeworktoday.”这个句子中，“tofinishallthehomeworktoday”是真正的宾语，太长了，所以用it作形式宾语，使句子结构更清晰合理。A、B、C选项均无法在此处充当形式宾语，所以答案选D。18、Thereisn't（）meatontheplate,butthere're（）cakesonit.A.any;someB.some;someC.any;muchD.some;any答案:A解析:这道题考查不定代词的用法。any常用于否定句和疑问句，some常用于肯定句。meat是不可数名词，cakes是可数名词复数。在否定句“Thereisn't”中用any修饰meat，在肯定句“there're”中用some修饰cakes。所以答案选A。19、LookatthetroubleIamin!IfonlyI（）youradvice.A.followedB.wouldfollowC.shouldfollowD.hadfollowed答案:D解析:这道题考查虚拟语气。Ifonly表示“要是……就好了”，其后常接虚拟语气。根据语境“看我现在的麻烦！”，可知是对过去的虚拟，要用过去完成时。A是一般过去时，B是对将来的虚拟，C是应该做某事，均不符合。所以答案选D，hadfollowed表示过去要是听从了你的建议就好了。20、Hawkingisnolongerwithus,（）hewillcontinuetoinspiretheworld.A.soB.ifC.butD.as答案:C解析:这道题考查连词的用法。Hawking已不在人世，“but”表转折，强调前后情况的对比。前句说他不在了，后句说他仍会激励世界，存在逻辑上的转折关系。“so”表结果，“if”表假设，“as”表原因或时间，均不符合题意，所以应选“C”。第Ⅱ卷（非选择题40分）二、填空题（10小题，每小题3分，共计30分）1、WhenJoe'schildrengrewupandmovedtodifferentcities,helivedinasmallvillage.Hehad4grandchildrenandtheyoftenvisitedhimduringtheirholidays.

Joe'sgrandchildrenoftencametoseehim_____A.afterworkB.onvacationC.beforeNewYearD.onhisbirthday答案:B解析:文中提到，“ItwasthevacationtimeandJoewaswaitingforthemtoarrive.”这句话明确指出了故事发生的时间是假期，Joe正在等待孙子孙女们来度假。接下来文中也多次提到孙子孙女们是在假期来看望Joe的，如“Hehad4grandchildrenandtheyoftenvisitedhimduringtheirholidays.”和“Thenextday,hewasverysad...Thechildrenlookedforiteverywhereinthehouseformorethan2hours...”，这些都说明孙子孙女们是在假期来看望Joe的。2、[未知题型(5)]（汉译英）汤姆不习惯于起得这么早。(beusedto)答案:Tomisnotusedtogettingupsoearly．3、[未知题型(5)]单句改错。TheA(Englishman)speaksChineseB(as)thoughheC(is)aD(Chinese)．答案:C，were4、[未知题型(5)]单句改错。TomA(studies)B(harder)C(than)D(anyoneinhisclass)．答案:D，anyoneelse5、[未知题型(5)]单句改错。IwanttoA(thank)youagainforB(have)meC(in)yourhomeD(for)theholiday．答案:B，having6、“Volunteeringmakesyoulookattheworlddifferently.Youseehowlittlethingscanchangeaperson'slifeforthebetter,whichmakeseveryoneabetterperson.”Mason,avolunteersaid.

Whatcouldbethereasontostoppeopletakingthefirststep?A.Theydon'thaveenoughtime.B.Theyarepreventedbytheirfamilies.C.Theyfearthattheirabilitiesareshared.D.Theydon'texpecttobecomevolunteers.答案:A解析:根据文章内容，作者提到了一些帮助志愿者克服担忧的建议，如慢慢开始、不要施加过多压力、选择有相同兴趣和价值观的组织等。文章最后问到是什么阻止人们迈出第一步，选项中只有A选项“他们没有时间”符合文章中提到的“甚至每月几个小时就可以对某个人的生活产生很大影响”，这表明时间不足是一个常见的阻碍因素。因此，正确答案是A。7、IfwewanttoseethefilmMaryPoppins,weshould_____A.makeareservationbysendingemailsB.arriveattheWestCoastHeritageParkC.pay$5.00percarifwedrivethereD.joinintheSquamishWindFestival答案:D解析:根据题目中的信息，电影《MaryPoppins》在7月19日的SquamishWindFestival期间放映。要观看这部电影，需要参加SquamishWindFestival。因此，正确答案是D选项：joinintheSquamishWindFestival。8、[未知题型(5)]SpringinChina（）(last)fromFebruarytoApril．答案:lasts9、Mr.Hope,thecleaneratourschool,walkswithalimp(跛脚).Watchinghimwalkslowlyaroundourschool,Ioftenwonderedwhyhelimped.
