2024-2025学年南通师范高等专科学校单招《英语》考前冲刺练习试题新版附答案详解

南通师范高等专科学校单招《英语》考前冲刺练习试题考试时间：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、Chinapromisesto（）ParisAgreementonclimatechange.A.stickintoB.stickontoC.sticktoD.stickin答案:C解析:这道题考查“stick”相关短语的用法。“stickto”有“坚持；遵守”的意思。在关于气候变化的巴黎协定语境中，“ChinapromisestosticktoParisAgreement”表示“中国承诺遵守巴黎协定”，A选项“stickinto”意为“插入”，B选项“stickonto”意为“贴在……上”，D选项“stickin”意为“陷入”，均不符合题意，所以应选C选项。2、IfyouarelearningEnglishbecauseyou'regoingtotravelinEnglandandwishtobe（1）there,don'ttrytospeakEnglishperfectly,（2）ifyoudoso,noonewillunderstandyou.InLondonninety-nineineveryhundredpeoplespeak（3）English.Youmaysaythat（4）theydon'tspeakEnglishwellthemselves,theycan（5）understanditwhenitiswellspoken.They（6）whenthespeakerisEnglish.Butwhenthespeakerisa（7）,thebetterhespeaks,the（8）itistounderstandhim.Noforeignercan（9）stressthesyllables(音节)andmakethetone（10）andfallinquestionand（11）exactlyasa（12）does.（13）thefirstthingyouhavetodoistospeakwithastrong（14）accent,andspeakbroken,thatis,Englishwithoutany（15）.TheneveryEnglishpersonyou（16）willatonceknowyouareaforeigner,andtrytounder-standyouandbereadyto（17）you.Hewillnot（18）youtobepoliteandusegram-maticalphrases.Hewillbe（19）byhisclevernessinmakingoutyour（20）andbeingabletotellwhatyouwanttoknow.

第8空填（）。A.betterB.easierC.harderD.clearer答案:C解析:根据原文语境，当说话者是非英国人时，其英语说得越好，反而越难以被理解。这是因为英国人习惯了本土的口音和表达方式，对于非标准英语可能会感到困惑。因此，第8空应填“harder”，表示理解起来更困难。3、A:Hello,I'mthereporterfromtheschoolnewspaper.Iknowyouaregoingtoleaveschool.(1)B:Yes,please.A:Howdoyoufeelnow?B:Excitedandabitsad.A:(2)B:Beforeleavingschool,I'mgoingtotakesomephotoswithmyteachersandclassmates.A:(3)B:I'mgoingtobeascientist,soI'llkeepworkinghardtomakemydreamcometrue.A:Whatwouldyouliketosaytoyourteachersandclassmates?B:I'dliketosay“Thanks”tothemforhelpingmealot.(4)A:(5)B:Youarewelcome.

第（3）空填（）A.Also,Ihopemyschoolwillbebetter.B.Whatareyougoingtodobeforeleavingschool?C.MayIaskyousomequestions?D.Whatareyougoingtobewhenyougrowup?答案:D解析:在对话中，记者询问了毕业生B的未来计划，因此填入“你长大后想成为什么？”最为合适。这一问题直接引导B回答他将成为科学家，并继续努力实现梦想。这与毕业生的职业规划和未来展望相关，符合毕业生在离校前对未来的思考和期望。通过询问职业规划，记者能够更好地了解毕业生对未来的看法和目标，这也是毕业对话中常见的话题。4、—CanIhelpyou,Sir?—I'dliketohave100（）.Iwantmystudentstodrawpictures.A.pieceofpaperB.piecesofpaperC.piecesofpapersD.pieceofpaper答案:B解析:这道题考查“paper”和“piece”的用法。“paper”作“纸”讲时是不可数名词，不能直接用复数。“piece”是可数名词，100后面要用复数“pieces”。所以“100张纸”要用“100piecesofpaper”，答案选B。5、Thetemperatureofyourbodyshouldbealwaysjustthesame,nomatterwhethertheweatherishotorcold.Thatiswhythedoctoruseshisthermometerwhenyouaresick.

heat.答案:B解析:当人们感到寒冷时，为了保持体温，他们会采取一些措施来产生更多的热量。虽然皮肤会变得紧绷，但这本身并不是为了产生热量，而是寒冷时的一种生理反应。同样，穿更多衣服是为了减少热量的散失，而不是直接产生热量。颤抖可以产生热量，但文中提到颤抖并不令人愉快，所以人们通常会选择通过运动来使肌肉产生更多热量，而不是持续颤抖。因此，正确答案是B，即通过运动使肌肉产生更多热量来保暖。6、—Wehardlyhaveanytimeforourhobbies.Haveyougotanyideas,Samuel?

—________choosingourhobbiesaccordingtothetimewehave?A.WhataboutB.WhynotC.ShallweD.Whydon’twe答案:A解析:这道题考查提建议的句型。Whatabout后接动词-ing形式；Whynot/Whydon'twe后接动词原形；Shallwe用于提议一起做某事。根据题干中“choosing”，A选项Whatabout符合，其后接动名词，用于提出建议，所以选A。7、—AreyouwillingtoliveonMarsoneday?

—____________．Itsoundsexciting,butitstillworriesme.A.OfcourseIam.B.I’mnotsure.C.WhynotD.Areyoujoking答案:B解析:这道题考查对意愿的表达及理解。A选项“OfcourseIam.”表示肯定愿意；C选项“Whynot”也是肯定态度；D选项“Areyoujoking”不符合题意。B选项“I’mnotsure.”表明不确定，结合回答“Itsoundsexciting,butitstillworriesme.”，既有觉得兴奋又有担忧，所以不确定是否愿意，答案选B。8、MostscientistsagreetheGreatSphinxofGiza(吉萨狮身人面像)wasbuiltaround2,500B.C.ButJohnAnthonyWestsaysthatit'smucholder.Ifhe'sright,“Everythinganybodyhaslearnedaboutancientcivilizationswouldhavetobecompletelyrevised.”hetoldamagazine.West,awriterandfilm-maker,firstgotinterestedinancienthistoryafterstudyingtheworkofaFrenchresearcher.TheresearchersaidEgyptiancivilizationcouldhavedevelopedasearlyas30,000yearsago,ratherthan4,500yearsago,asmostexpertsbelieve.Westjoinedascientisttodoresearchtogether.TheirresearchsuggestedthattheSphinxhadbeenworndown(磨损)overtheyearsbywater,ratherthanbysandandwind.Waitaminute?Water?Howcouldthatbe?TheSphinxisintheSaharaDesert,whichhasbeendryfor12,000years!However,beforethattime,itwasverygreen.Ifit'struethatwaterworedowntheSphinx,Westthinksthatitmusthavebeenbuitcenturiesearlier.WhetherWestisrightorwrong,it'simportanttochallengeacceptedideas.That'showscienceprogresses,Westgavesomeadviceforkids:Ifyouareinterestedinatopic,readeverythingyoucanonit.Doyourownresearch.Don'talwaysbelieveeverythingyourteacherstellyou.Asklotsofques-tions,andfindyourownanswers.

Howmanymuseumsarementionedinthepassage?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.答案:B解析:在文章中明确提到了三个博物馆，分别是英国博物馆（BritishMuseum）、国家美术馆（theNationalGallery）和泰特美术馆（theTateGallery）。13、Lucyperformedwellandherfatherwassurprisedat（）daughter'ssecrettalent.A.yourB.hisC.herD.my答案:B解析:这道题考查物主代词的用法。在句子中，Lucy的父亲对“自己女儿”的秘密才能感到惊讶，Lucy是女性，所以“她的父亲”要用“his”。A选项“your”是“你的”；C选项“her”是“她的”，但不符合父亲的角度；D选项“my”是“我的”。综上所述，答案选B。14、Canyoufinish（）anelephantintwominutes?A.drawB.todrawC.drewD.drawing答案:D解析:这道题考查“finish”的用法。“finish”后接动词时，要用动词的-ing形式。在英语语法中，这是固定搭配。选项A是动词原形，B是动词不定式，C是过去式，均不符合“finish”的用法。所以应选D，“drawing”，表示“完成画画”。15、Ishouldn'ttrusthimbecausehe（）thepolice.A.isknownbyB.knowsC.hasknowntoD.isknownto答案:D解析:这道题考查“beknownto”这一短语的用法。在英语中，“beknownto”表示“为……所熟知”。根据题意，“Ishouldn'ttrusthimbecausehe（）thepolice.”，这里需要表达“他为警方所熟知”，A选项“isknownby”用法错误，B选项“knows”不符合语境，C选项“hasknownto”结构错误，所以应选D选项“isknownto”。16、-Howmucharethe（）?—sixyuanakilo.A.broccoliB.potatoesC.beefD.bread答案:B解析:这道题考查名词的单复数。在英语中，howmuch用于询问不可数名词的数量或价格，howmany用于询问可数名词的数量。题中回答是“sixyuanakilo”，表明是按重量计价，应是可数名词复数。broccoli是不可数名词，beef和bread也是不可数名词，potatoes是potato的复数形式，所以选B。17、Dad（）theUSAintwoweeks.A.isleaveforB.leavesforC.isleavingforD.leftfor答案:C解析:这道题考查现在进行时表将来的用法。在英语语法中，某些动词如leave可用现在进行时表示将来的计划或安排。Dad两周后去美国，isleavingfor这种形式体现了即将发生的动作。A选项形式错误，B是一般现在时，D是一般过去时，均不符合“intwoweeks”所表示的将来时间，所以答案选C。18、（）,Coca-ColabegantoenterChina'smarket.A.Inthe1990sB.In1990sC.Inthe1990s’D.In1990's答案:A解析:这道题考查年代的正确表达。在英语中，“在20世纪90年代”的正确表述是“inthe1990s”。B选项缺少定冠词“the”；C选项“inthe1990s’”表述错误；D选项“in1990's”也是错误的。所以应该选择A选项“inthe1990s”。19、A.Notonly;butalsoB.Both;andC.Either;norD.Neither;or答案:A解析:20、Cait,11,wastryingtofallasleepwhenher8-year-oldbrother,Doug,cameintoherroom.Helookedaround,butseemedreally(outofit).ThenDougwentbackintothehallwayandstoodtherelookingstraightupatthelight.Thiswasreallystrange.Caitdidn'tknowwhattodo.Justthen,Cait'sfatherappearedandexplainedDougwassleepwalking.Notallsleepisthesameeverynight.Weexperiencesomedeep,quietsleepandsomeactivesleep,whichiswhendreamshappen.Youmightthinksleepwalkingwouldhappenduringactivesleepbutapersonisn'tphysicallyactiveduringactivesleep.Itusuallyhappensinthefirstfewhoursofsleepintheperiodcalleddeepsleep.Thetruthisthatnotallsleepwalkerswalk.Somesimplysituporstandinbedoractlikethey'reawakewhen,infact,they'reasleep!Most,however,dogetupandwalkaroundforafewsecondsorforaslongashalfanhour.Sleepwalkers'eyesareopen,buttheydon'tseethesamewaytheydowhenthey'reawake.Theytendtogobacktobedontheirownandwon'trememberitinthemorning.Youalsomighthaveheardthatsleepwalkerscangetfrightenedifyouwakethemup.That'strue,sowhatdoyoudoifyouseesomeonesleepwalking?Youshouldcallforagrown-upwhocanleadthepersonbacktobed.Andoncethesleepwalkeristucked(掖好被子)backinbed,it'stimeforyoutogetsomesleep,too!

Whichparagraphstellwhatsleepwalkersdo?A.①②B.②③C.③④D.④⑤答案:C解析:文章第三段明确提到“并非所有梦游者都会行走，有些人只是坐在床上或站立，或者表现得像醒着一样，但实际上他们仍在睡眠中。大多数梦游者会起床走动几秒钟到半小时左右。”，第四段也指出“梦游者的眼睛是睁开的，但他们看到的世界与清醒时不同。他们往往会自己回到床上，并且早上醒来时不会记得昨晚发生的事情。”，这两段详细描述了梦游者的行为表现，所以答案选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、Somepeoplebelievethatdreamscantellthemwhatwillhappeninthefuture.Nobodyknowswhy,buttherearemanystoriesaboutpeoplewhohavehaddreamsthatcametrue.OneofthesepeoplewasamancalledJohnChapman,wholivedinasmallplace,namedSwaffhaminEnglandandwasdeeplylovedbypeopleinthistown.Thoughhewasverypoor,hewaskindandlikelytohelpothersintrouble.Onenight,hedreamedthathewasstandingonLondonBridgeandamantoldhimhowtobecomerich.JohnChapmanreallyneededmoneyandwantedtohaveatry,sothenextdayhesetoffforLondon.HewalkedforthreedaysandthreenightsandatlastarrivedatLondonBridge.Therewereplentyofpeopleonthebridge,buttheywerenotinterestedinhim.Theywereallunawareofhim.Threedayslater,hedecidedtogohome,butbeforehecoulddothis,ashopkeeperwasapproachinghim.

JohnChapmanwenttoLondonbecause______A.hevisitedafriendthereB.hewantedtomeetashopkeeperC.hewantedtobefamousD.hewantedtomakehisdreamcometrue答案:D解析:根据文章内容，JohnChapman去伦敦的原因是因为他做了一个梦，梦见自己在伦敦桥上会有一个人带他发财。他为了实现这个梦想，毅然决然地前往伦敦。因此，他前往伦敦的目的是为了实现他的梦想，故正确答案是D。其他选项A、B、C都与文章中的情节不符。2、[未知题型(5)]Hewasmade（）(sweep)thefloor．答案:tosweep3、[未知题型(5)]根据句意改写句子。Mr．GreenleftAmericatwomonthsago．Mr．Green（）fromAmericafortwomonths．答案:hasbeenaway4、[未知题型(5)]Canyontellmewhatweshalldonext?（改为简单句）[]答案:Canyou

Mr.Clarkeisafraid________,soheboughtadogA.someonepicksthefruitB.someanimalshurthimC.someonehurtshimD.someonecutsthetrees答案:D解析:Mr.Clarke住在山脚下，负责看守一位富农的森林。文中提到：“Whenhehearssomesound,hehastogetuptoseeifsomeonecutsthetrees.”（当他听到一些声音时，他必须起床去看看是否有人在砍树。）这说明他买狗的原因是担心有人砍树。因此，Mr.Clarke买狗是害怕有人砍树，选项D正确。6、“Volunteeringmakesyoulookattheworlddifferently.Youseehowlittlethingscanchangeaperson'slifeforthebetter,whichmakeseveryoneabetterperson.”Mason,avolunteersaid.
