第(9)选（）A.gamesB.plansC.marketsD.programs答案:D解析:根据文章内容，DavidJones得到这份工作的原因是公司的人知道他已经编写了一些程序（programs），这与选项D相符。其他选项如games（游戏）、plans（计划）和markets（市场）在文中并未提及与David得到工作的直接关联。因此，正确答案是D。4、Foodismostimportantforlife.Withoutitmanwoulddieofhunger（1）theneedforfood,manalsohasneedforhousetoprotecthim（2）heatandcold,windandrain.Thefirstman'shomeswereverysimple.Thesizeandkindofhousesatthattimewerelimited（3）hisbuildingskillandalsobythethingsforhimtouse.Insomeplaces,man'shomewouldbe（4）morethanalargeholeinthesideofahill,withafireatthegatetogivehimlight,tocookfoodandtokeepdangerousanimalsaway.Butnowin（5）century,housebuildingworkhasbecomeanimportantindustry.Modernsciencemakesitpossibleformantobuildsomanylarge（6）forgovernmentoffices,shops,schools,hotels,hospitals,churches.…Asthepopulationoftheworldgrows（7）housesofmanykindsareneeded.Thehousewiththree（8）fortheaveragefamilywouldnotbe（9）foraveryrichfamily.Theaveragefamiliesalsowanttolivecomfortably.Sopeoplearetryingtheirbesttoimprovetheirhouses（10）itisexpensive,Differentkindsofmodernhousesarebeingdesignedandsomeofthemhavebeenbuiltupforrichfamiliestolivein,andalsosomeforaveragefamilies.

第(10)选（）A.throughB.thoughtC.thoughD.but答案:C解析:在这个句子中，"though"用作连词，表示尽管有某种情况（即昂贵），但人们仍然在进行某种行为（即尽力改善房屋）。这与"though"的含义“尽管”相符合，因此C选项是正确的。其他选项"through"表示“通过”，“thought”是“think”的过去式，表示“思考”，“but”表示“但是”，均不符合句意。5、Thisistheplace（）weshouldremember.A.whereB.whenC.thatD.forwhich答案:C解析:这道题考查定语从句的关系词。定语从句中先行词是theplace，在从句中作宾语。where作状语，when表时间，forwhich用于特定情况，均不符合。that可在定语从句中作宾语，所以应选C。6、Besidesthisquestionofthetimegiventopronunciation,therearetwootherrequirementsfortheteacher:thefirst,knowledge;thesecond,technique.

sounds答案:A解析:原文中提到“However,theprocessofshowingpronunciation,whetherbypersonalexampleorwiththehelpofmachines,isonlythebeginningofteachingpronunciation.”这句话明确指出，展示发音只是教授发音的开始，即展示发音被视为教授发音的一部分。因此，选项A“apartofteachingpronunciation”是正确的。7、Inthebookshop,areaderaskedtheshopkeeper________WhoMovedMyCheesewasaninterestingbook．A.thatB.howC.whatD.if答案:D解析:这道题考查宾语从句的引导词。在宾语从句中，that一般引导陈述句，how表示方式，what表示内容。根据题意，读者询问店主《谁动了我的奶酪》是否是一本有趣的书，if有“是否”之意，符合语境，所以应选D。8、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。9、Thewomancouldn’tseeherson________．She’sveryworried．A.anywhereB.somewhereC.nowhereD.where答案:A解析:这道题考查不定副词的用法。anywhere常用于否定句和疑问句，表示“任何地方”；somewhere用于肯定句，表示“某个地方”；nowhere表示“无处，没有地方”。题中是否定句，“couldn’t”表明无法在任何地方看到儿子，所以用anywhere。综合来看，A选项符合句子的语境和语法要求。10、-Excuseme,butisthatmypassport?-Oh,sorry.Itook（）bymistake.A.yoursB.mineC.hersD.his答案:A解析:这道题考查物主代词的用法。在对话情境中，回答者说拿错了，意思是拿了对方的护照。A选项yours表示“你的（东西）”，符合语境。B选项mine表示“我的（东西）”；C选项hers表示“她的（东西）”；D选项his表示“他的（东西）”，均不符合拿错对方护照的情境。所以应该选择A选项。11、Dear

above.答案:C解析:根据信件内容，丈夫在妻子决定重返工作时给予了支持。他帮助妻子做决定，建议她可以在家中做的事情，并在妻子找到工作后感到自豪，向朋友炫耀妻子的能力。这些行为显示出丈夫对妻子的鼓励和支持，而非替代她做所有工作或为她做所有决定。因此，选项C“他给了她鼓励”正确反映了丈夫的支持态度。12、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。（）b(u)sinessA.p(u)blicB.pop(u)larC.st(u)dyD.b(i)ll答案:D解析:这道题考查单词中元音字母“u”的读音。在“business”中“u”的读音为[ɪ]。选项A中“public”的“u”读音为[ʌ]；选项B中“popular”的“u”读音为[ə]；选项C中“study”的“u”读音为[ʌ]；选项D中“bill”的“i”读音为[ɪ]，与“business”中“u”读音相同。13、Itisnotsafeforteenagerstogiveouttoomuch()aboutthemselvesontheInter-net.A.knowledgeB.questionsC.ideasD.information答案:D解析:这道题考查名词词义辨析。在网络上，teenagers公开的应是具体的内容。knowledge指知识；questions是问题；ideas是想法；information是信息。对于青少年来说，在网上公开太多自身的“信息”是不安全的，D选项information符合题意。14、Notallpeopleliketoworkbuteveryonelikestoplay.Allovertheworldmenandwomen,boysandgirlsenjoy（1）.Sincethedaysoflongago,adultsandchildrenhavecalledtheirfriendstogethertospend（2）evendaysplayinggames.Sportshelppeopletolive（3）.Theyhelptokeeppeoplehealthyandfeelinggood.Whentheyareplayinggames,people（4）alot.Thisisgoodfortheirhealth.Having（5）withtheirfriendsmakesthemhappy.Manypeopleenjoysportsbywatchingothers（6）.Insmalltowns,crowdsmeettowatchthebicycleracesorthesoccergames.Inbigcities,thousands（7）toseeanice-skatingshoworabaseballgame.Whatareyourfavoritesports?Istheweather（8）whereyoulive?Thenswimmingisprobablyoneofyoursports.BoysandgirlsinChinaloveto（9）.Therearewonderfulbeachesandtherearebeautiful（10）andlakesacrossthecountry.Theweatherisalsogoodforswimming.

第(9)选（）A.skateB.swimC.surfD.dance答案:B解析:根据后文提到的“Therearewonderfulbeachesandtherearebeautifulmountainsandlakesacrossthecountry.Theweatherisalsogoodforswimming.”，可以推断出中国有很多适合游泳的湖泊、海滩，且天气条件也适宜游泳。因此，正确答案是B选项“swim”，即“游泳”。15、Readingbooks（）abridgebetweenourlivesandtheunknownworld.A.builtB.buildC.buildsD.building答案:C解析:这道题考查动词的形式。在句子“Readingbooks（）abridgebetweenourlivesandtheunknownworld.”中，主语是“Readingbooks”，是一个动名词短语，当作单数。根据语法规则，单数主语后接动词的第三人称单数形式。A是过去式，B是原形，D是现在分词，都不符合。C是builds，是动词第三人称单数形式，所以选C。16、—Sam,whatcanIdotogetupearly?—Setthealarmclockat6:00,（）you'llmakeit.A.orB.butC.andD.so答案:C解析:这道题考查英语中的连词用法。在英语中，“and”有“那么，就”的意思，表示一种顺承关系。这里“Setthealarmclockat6:00”和“you'llmakeit”是一种条件和结果的顺承关系。设置闹钟在6点，那么你就能做到早起。A选项“or”表选择或否定条件；B选项“but”表转折；D选项“so”表因果。综合来看，C选项“and”最符合题意。17、-Whattimedoyouusuallygetuponweekends?—Iusuallygetupat6:30（）themorning.A.forB.atC.onD.in答案:D解析:这道题考查时间介词的用法。在英语中，“inthemorning”是固定搭配，表示“在早上”。“for”通常表示目的或持续的时间段；“at”用于具体的时刻；“on”用于具体的日期或特定的上午、下午等。这里说的是在早上，所以用“in”，答案选D。18、Wildanimalsareourfriends.Weshouldn'tkillthem（）foodorclothing.A.inB.withC.aboutD.for答案:D解析:这道题考查介词的用法。在英语中，介词的使用需根据语境和固定搭配来判断。“for”有“为了”的意思。野生动物是我们的朋友，我们不应该为了获取食物或制作衣物而杀害它们。“kill...for...”是常见的固定搭配，表示“为了……而杀……”，其他选项“A.in在……里”“B.with用……”“C.about关于”均不符合题意，所以答案选D。19、Telephone,television,andradioallhelppeoplecommunicatewitheachother.Becauseofthis,ideasandnewsofeventsspreadquicklyallovertheworld.Forexample,withinseconds,peoplecanknowtheresultsofanelectioninanothercountry,Newsofnaturaldisastersuchasanearthquakecanbringhelpfromdistantcountries.Withinhours,helpisontheway.Becauseofmoderntechnology,informationtravelsfaster.

ideas答案:A解析:在灾难发生时，快速沟通至关重要。文中提到，如地震等自然灾害的新闻能迅速传播，从而带来远方国家的援助。在几个小时内，援助就能启程。这凸显了快速沟通在灾难救援中的重要性，因为它能确保信息及时传达，救援队伍得以迅速响应并提供必要的帮助。因此，对于灾区的人们来说，快速沟通是非常关键的。20、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(5)选（）A.frightenedB.afraidC.excitedD.surprised答案:A解析:Jane在朋友家观看了一部间谍题材的电影，电影中的情节紧张且充满恐怖元素，尤其是年轻女孩被谋杀的部分。观看这样的电影后，Jane自然会感到害怕和不安。当她在火车上看到一个男人盯着她看时，这种恐惧感进一步加剧。因此，Jane感到“frightened”（害怕）是最符合上下文情境和心理状态的描述。其他选项如“excited”（兴奋）和“surprised”（惊讶）都不符合她当时的心理状态。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、[未知题型(5)]（改写句子，句意不变，每空只填一个词）

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(24)处。（）A.forB.ofC.withD.at答案:A解析:在句子“boththeboysfeltsorry_____themselves”中，需要选择一个介词来表达男孩们对自己的行为感到抱歉。选项A“for”在这里表示“因为，为了”，用于表达男孩们为自己之前对Mr.Hope的嘲笑行为感到抱歉，符合语境。其他选项“of”表示所属关系，“with”表示伴随，“at”通常用于表示方向或目标，均不符合句意。因此，正确答案是A。6、Mr.Hope,thecleaneratourschool,walkswithalimp(跛脚).Watchinghimwalkslowlyaroundourschool,Ioftenwonderedwhyhelimped.
