第13空填（）。A.ambiguousB.toughC.upsetD.smooth答案:B解析:在文中，作者提到自己刚离婚并且独自住在租来的房子里，这表明作者当时的生活状况是比较艰难的。尽管面临这样的困境，作者仍然承诺要帮助Kelly。因此，第13空应填“tough”，意为“艰难的”，以准确描述作者当时的生活状态。2、TianwuhasclimbedHuashanmorethan3,000timesinthepastdecade.Heisa（1）,transportinggoodsuptheslopesonhisback,foraliving.Butheismost（2）,forhisdisability:Hehasonlyonearm.He（3）hisleftarminanaccidentin1992atthecoalmine.Withtwoyoungchildrenandparentsto（4）,hewasworkingovertimethatdaywhenapulleybrake（5）.Afterthatheopenedastore,butitwentbankruptfromtoomany（6）sales.（7）hishardwork,hewasleftwithnothingbutdebts.ThenheheardaboutbearersforHuashanMountainfromafriendandthoughtitwouldbean（8）job.Hisfirstjobwasto（9）30kilogramsofgoodstoHighLadder.Hehadacompanionwho（10）mid-way,buthefinishedhisjobwith（11）paininhisknees.Butashe（12）experiencethroughtheyears,hehasdevelopedhisown（13）forclimbingthemountain.Nowhecarries60kilogramsofgoodsupthemountaineveryday—1kilogrammorethanhisownbodyweight.（14）,hemakesthreetofourtripseachdaytoandfrom.“I（15）eachstepverycarefullyandhaveneverhadanyaccidentinthepast10years.”Hesaid.Beingabearerisatiresomeanddulljobinmanypeople'sminds,butheenjoyshimself.Heap-preciatesandremembersthecalligraphy（16）intherocksandcopiesthem.Hisfavoriteoneis,“Thoughheavysnowfallsdownonverdant(青翠的)pines,thepinesstillstand（17）。”Heoncesaid,“I'dliketostayherebecausethemountainpaysmyhardwork（18）。”“Idon'tlament(对……感到悲痛)formy（19）daysandwillnotfearthefuture,”Hesaid.Thepainstakingjobhasgivenhimastrong（20）

第16空填（）。A.paintedB.printedC.writtenD.carved答案:D解析:根据文中描述，Tianwu在华山上欣赏并临摹岩石上的书法，这些书法是雕刻在岩石上的，因此用“carved”表示雕刻最为恰当。选项A“painted”表示绘画，B“printed”表示印刷，C“written”表示书写，都不符合文中描述岩石上书法的形成方式。雕刻能更好地体现书法在岩石上的长久保存和独特风格。3、Sincethebeginningoftime,manhasbeeninterestedinthemoon.TheRomansdesignedaspecialdaytoshowadmirationandrespecttothemoon.Theycalledit“Moonday”,or“Monday”,asweknowittoday.Later,thegreatmindofLeonardodaVincistudiedthemoonanddesignedamachinetocarryahumantothemoon.Leonardosaidthatonedayagreatmachinebirdwouldtakeapersontothemoonandbringgreathonourtothehomewhereitwasborn.

subject答案:B解析:本题主要讲述了JulesVerne在1865年所写故事中关于首次月球之旅的描述与1969年阿波罗Ⅱ号太空任务的惊人相似性。根据[搜索结果]，JulesVerne的故事中描述的太空船“哥伦比阿德”与阿波罗Ⅱ号在多个方面极为相似，包括太空船的大小、发射地点（都在佛罗里达）、飞行速度（Verne的太空船速度为每秒36000英尺，阿波罗Ⅱ号为每秒35533英尺）、到达月球的时间（Verne的太空船用了97小时，阿波罗Ⅱ号用了103小时）以及在太空中的活动（如拍照、休息、用燃气烹饪和体验失重等）。此外，两者都降落在太平洋，并由美国军舰回收。这些相似性展示了JulesVerne在描述一个100年后才发生的事件时所展现出的惊人准确性，这可能是由于他对科学、技术和人类探索的深刻洞察力以及丰富的想象力。然而，由于题目未给出具体选项，因此无法直接选择答案，但上述解析内容可作为理解题目和选项的基础。4、IsawLiMing（）neartheriveronmywayhome.A.playsB.playingC.toplayD.played答案:B解析:这道题考查“seesb.doingsth.”的用法。在英语语法中，“seesb.doingsth.”表示“看见某人正在做某事”。在本题中，“IsawLiMingplayingneartheriver”意思是“我在回家路上看见李明正在河边玩”，A选项plays形式错误，C选项toplay不符合该用法，D选项played是过去式，也不符合，所以应该选B。5、从下面单词中找一个括号部分读音不同的单词。（）A.c(oo)kB.f(oo)tC.sp(oo)nD.b(oo)k答案:C解析:这道题考查单词中元音字母组合“oo”的读音。在A选项“cook”、B选项“foot”和D选项“book”中，“oo”都读短音/u/。而C选项“spoon”中“oo”读长音/u:/。所以读音不同的是C选项。6、—I'mdisappointedtomissJohn,who_____ofthehoteljustnow.A.checkedoutB.checkedinC.checkedupD.checkedover答案:A解析:这道题考查“check”相关短语的用法。“checkout”有“结账离开”之意；“checkin”是“登记入住”；“checkup”指“检查”；“checkover”表示“仔细检查”。根据语境，错过的John刚刚结账离开了酒店，所以应选A选项“checkedout”。7、Lucy,don'tturnoffthecomputerbeforeclosingallprograms,（）youcouldhaveproblems.A.orB.andC.butD.So答案:A解析:这道题考查连词的用法。“or”有“否则”的意思。在这个句子中，“don'tturnoffthecomputerbeforeclosingallprograms”是一种提醒，“or”连接的后半句“youcouldhaveproblems”表示如果不这样做会产生的后果。其他选项“and”表并列，“but”表转折，“so”表因果，都不符合句子逻辑。所以应选A。8、-What'swrongwithyou,Eric?Youlooktired.-I（）toprepareforthefinalexamlastnight.A.pickedupB.wokeupC.stayedupD.putup答案:C解析:这道题考查动词短语的含义。“pickup”意为“捡起；接载”；“wakeup”意为“醒来”；“stayup”意为“熬夜”；“putup”意为“张贴；搭建”。根据语境，回答说看起来很累，因为昨晚为准备期末考试，所以是熬夜了，“stayup”符合语境。9、Therewasonceagroupofyoungpeoplesearchingeverywhereforhappiness,butwhattheygotwasonlyannoyance,griefandmisery.Sothey（1）Socrates(苏格拉底)foradviceonwherehappiness（2）.But（3）givinganyanswers,Socratesaskedthemtohelpwithbuildinga（4）first.Thegroupofguyshadto（5）thetask,layingasidetheirownbusinessofseekinghappiness.Ittookthemalongtimetocutdownatalltree,diggingoutthecenter.Throughpainstakingeffort,theymadeacanoeoutofthetree.Theylaunchedthecanoeintoariver,andthen（6）togetherinit,singingwith（7）.

第6空填（）。A.satB.layC.rowedD.got答案:C解析:在故事中，年轻人在苏格拉底的指导下建造了一艘船。随后，他们一起将船放入河中，并在其中进行活动。根据常识和语境，“rowed”表示划船，是最符合这一场景的动作。他们划船的同时唱歌，体现了活动的愉悦氛围。因此，第6空应填“rowed”，即选项C。10、ManyTVprogramsseemtobequiterealistic,OnewhowatchesTVoftenfeelsthatwhateverhappenedinthefilmmayas（1）happentohim.Withonlyalittleimagination,everymaninthestreetmay（2）tobeathief,oraspyoramurderer.Janehadbeenwatchingaspy（3）atafriend'shome.Initayounggirlhadbeen（4）andmurdered.Shefeltalittle（5）.Shetookatrainbacktothecenterofthecity.Therewerealotofpeople（6）withher,soshefeltmuchsafer.Amansat（7）her,readinganewspaper.Shethoughtnothingofituntilshesawhimstaringather.Rememberingthefilmandfeelinguncomfortable,she（8）thetrainandwenttothebusstop.Whenhegotonthe（9）busasshedid,shefoundhewasfollowingher.Whenshegotoffthebus,shewasgettingmoreandmorefrightenedasthestreetalmostbecameempty,She（10）asquicklyasshecould.Shecouldhearfootstepsbehindher,butshedidn'tdaretolookoverher（11）.Itseemedtohavebeenhoursbeforeshe（12）thefrontdoor.Shelookedforherkey,butwasunabletofindthem.Thefootstepsstoppedbehindher.Shefeltahandonhershoulder.Insteadoffeelinghandsroundher（13）,however,sheheardapleasant（14）:“IapologizeifIfrightenedyou.IthoughtI（15）youinthetrain,butIwasnotsure.”Itwasherneighbour!

第(1)选（）A.wellB.soonC.thoughD.if答案:A解析:在此句中，“well”用作副词，表示“很可能，容易地”，用于修饰动词“happen”，强调电视节目中的事情似乎很可能或容易在现实中发生。根据语境，“well”最符合句意，使句子通顺且逻辑合理。其他选项“soon”表示“很快”，“though”表示“尽管”，“if”表示“如果”，均不符合此处的语境和语法结构。11、Idon'tunderstandhowyougotaticket.Ialways（）you（）acarefuldriver.A.think;areB.amthinking;areC.thought;wereD.think;were答案:C解析:这道题考查时态。一般现在时think表示现在的看法；过去时thought表示过去的看法。根据语境，“我不理解你怎么得了罚单”，说明“我过去认为你是个谨慎的司机”，是过去的想法，要用过去时thought，且宾语从句也要用相应的过去时态were。所以答案选C。12、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(2)选（）A.shareB.talkC.showD.discuss答案:A解析:在这个语境中，需要选择一个动词来描述将新获得的知识传递给未参加讲座的室友的行为。“share”意为“分享”，正好符合这种将个人的知识或体验与他人共享的情境。而“talk”、“show”和“discuss”虽然都与交流有关，但不如“share”直接表达将知识传递给他人的含义。因此，“share”是最合适的选择，它准确地传达了在特定场景下分享信息或知识的行为。13、Thecarisrunning（）itslights（）.A.by;openB.with;onC.to;forD.into;of答案:B解析:这道题考查介词和形容词的搭配用法。在英语中，“with+名词+形容词”表示伴随状态。“withitslightson”表示“车开着灯”。“by”通常表示方式，“to”表示方向，“into”表示进入，均不符合题意。所以应选B选项。14、从下面单词中找一个括号部分读音不同的单词。（）A.s(ea)B.br(ea)kC.h(ea)tD.dis(ea)se答案:B解析:这道题考查单词中元音字母组合的读音。在英语发音规则中，“ea”常见有多种读音。A选项“sea”中“ea”发/iː/；C选项“heat”中“ea”发/iː/；D选项“disease”中“ea”发/iː/。而B选项“break”中“ea”发/eɪ/，读音与其他三个不同。15、Therewassomuchnoiseoutsidethattheteachercouldn'tmakeherself（）A.hearB.heardC.tohearD.hearing答案:B解析:这道题考查使役动词make的用法。在“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构中，宾语与补足语之间是被动关系时，用过去分词。这里“herself”与“hear”是被动关系，即“老师不能让自己被（学生）听到”，所以要用过去分词heard。A选项hear是动词原形，C选项tohear形式错误，D选项hearing是现在分词，均不符合此结构，故选B。16、Twodaysago,Bob（1）aletterfromhisgirlfriend,Mary.Shewrote,“IwillleaveBeijingforLondonattenonJune3rd.Pleasemeetmeatthe（2）.”NowBobwasstandingattheairportand（3）someflowers.Hewas（4）becauseMary'splanewasthreehourslate.But（5）knewwhy.Bobwalkedovertothebarattheairportandhadadrink,Hewalkedbacktothegate.Therewasstill（6）news.Hewalkedbacktothebarandhad（7）drink.（8）,Mary'splanelandedandthepeopleontheplanestartedcomingout.Bobsmiledand（9）Mary.Afteratimehestopped（10）becausethatlastonefromtheplanewasnotMary.Bobsaidtohimself,“（11）luck!What（12）?”Hewentovertotheinformationdesk.“MynameisBobWaston,”hesaid,“Haveyougotanymessage（13）me?”“Yes,”saidthegirlstandingthere,“Atelephonemessagefrom（14）.”Withthesewords,shehandedhimapieceofpaper.“Mr.BobWaston,LondonAirport.Sorry,I'llreturnnextSunday.”Bobthankedthegirlattheairport,gavethe（15）toherandsaidgood-bye.

第(11)选（）A.nobodyB.anybodyC.somebodyD.everybody答案:A解析:在第(11)题中，根据上下文语境，“Bobsaidtohimself”表明这是Bob的自言自语，接着他说“luck!What…”这里省略了主语，结合语境理解，应该是表达“没有人（nobody）”知道为什么Mary的飞机晚点了，所以Bob才会感到运气不好并发出这样的感叹。选项A“nobody”恰好符合这一语境，表示没有人知道原因，因此A是正确答案。17、DoesLilylikeChinese（）?A.foodB.foodsC.anyfoodD.somefood'答案:A解析:这道题考查名词的用法。在英语中，food作为“食物”讲时是不可数名词，没有复数形式，所以排除B选项。一般疑问句中用any表示“一些”，不用some，所以排除D选项。A选项“food”符合语法规则，C选项“anyfood”在这个语境中不太恰当。综上所述，答案选A。18、Manyscientistsbelievethatoilwasformedintheearth（）yearsago.A.millionB.millionsC.themillionsD.millionsof答案:D解析:这道题考查数词的用法。在英语中，“millionsof”表示“数百万的”，是一个固定短语，用于形容数量众多。A选项“million”单独使用时需与具体数字连用；B选项“millions”缺少“of”，不能直接修饰名词；C选项“themillions”用法错误。所以“millionsofyearsago”能正确表达“数百万年前”，答案选D。19、--Howlonghaveyou（）there?--Aboutfouryears.A.comeB.goneC.leftD.worked答案:D解析:这道题考查动词的用法。come、gone、left都是短暂性动词，不能与howlong连用。而work是延续性动词，可与时间段连用。在询问“在那里多久”的语境中，需要用延续性动词，所以答案是D选项worked。20、I'vestarteddrivingagain.Idrivealongaroad（1）12yearsagonearmyhome.AsIdrovetonight,I（2）KellyKellywasa（3）whenitwasconstructed.Sheandherbrotherwere（4）byherfatherafterhermotherpassedaway.Byherown（5）,shewasa（6）child,climbingoutofwindows,stayingoutdrinkingetc.Shestartedtosettleincollege.TheyearafterItaughther,a（7）thinghappened.ItwasaboutthistimeofyearandKelly'sdadwasabouttoturntothenewroad.Sincehewasnot（8）withit,hehadadeadlyaccident.Thelecturerssenthera（9）card.IwrotethatIwouldhelpherwithoneofthe6（10）shestillhadtocomplete.Iknewitwouldbedif-ficultforKellybutI（11）tohelpheranyway.AtthattimeIhadjust（12）mymarriageandwaslivinginrentedaccommodationalone.Thingswere（13）butIcommittedmyselftohelpingKelly.IbroughthertomyhomeandI（14）herthefullunit.Igothertocompletealltheassignmentsatmyhome（15）shecouldstayfocused.Kellymade（16）intheunitItaughther,whichfundamentallyhelpedraiseheroverallgrades.Kelly'slecturerwasso（17）withthisthatshegotKellyto（18）totherestoftheclass!AtlastKellycompletedhercourse.Iwassogladshedidn't.（19）.AfewyearsagoImetKelly.Shewaspushingapram(婴儿车),herbabysleepingsoundly.It'stheleastshe（20）.

第1空填（）。A.builtB.shapedC.designedD.destroyed答案:A解析:根据上下文内容，“我”沿着一条12年前在家附近**修建**的路开车，因此第1空应填“built”，表示“修建”。其他选项“shaped”表示“塑造”，“designed”表示“设计”，“destroyed”表示“破坏”，均不符合此处的语境。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、DearFiona,

根据短文内容，在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案填入文中(14)处。（）A.makessoupB.drinksteaC.eatsoutD.getsup答案:D解析:根据短文内容，“Everyday,he_____(14)_____himabouttwo_____(15)_____togettohisoffice.It'sathalfpastsixandthengoestoworkbybus.”这句话表明，他每天六点半起床然后乘公共汽车去上班，因此(14)处应填“getsup”（起床），选项D正确。其他选项如“makessoup”（做汤）、“drinkstea”（喝茶）、“eatsout”（外出吃饭）均与原文描述的起床去上班的情景不符。2、DearFiona,
