B.I’mafraidnot. C.Whynot? D.You’rewelcome.【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——我们这个周六下午去参观张太雷博物馆好吗？——好啊！这正是我的计划。Itdepends.表示不确定；I’mafraidnot.表示拒绝；Whynot?表示赞同；You’rewelcome.用于回应他人的感谢。根据答语“That’sexactlymyplan.”可知，说话人完全同意对方的提议，此处应填入表示赞同的交际用语，Whynot常用于接受建议，符合语境。5.You________searchtheInternetforanswerswhendoinghomework.It’snotallowed.A.can’t B.wouldn’t C.needn’t

B.behind C.except D.above【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：迈克最终决定住在常州，违背了他母亲希望他留在上海的意愿。against违背；behind在……后面；except除了；above在……上面。根据“MikefinallydecidedtoliveinChangzhou”与“hismother’swishthatheshouldstayinShanghai”可知，迈克的选择与母亲的意愿相反，againstone’swish意为“违背某人的意愿”，against符合语境。9.Tom,youshould________theinstructionsbeforeusingthesharedbikeforthefirsttime.A.turnon

D.remind【答案】11.B12.A13.D14.B15.C16.A17.B18.C19.D20.A21.C22.D【解析】【导语】本文讲述画背景幕布出错，老师巧妙修改的经历。感悟错误能带来新机遇，鼓励人们面对困难不要僵住，视其为新起点。【11题详解】句意：那年春天，我被要求为学校戏剧绘制背景幕布。根据后文“Ifinishedaperfectblueskywithsoftwhiteclouds”可知是绘制幕布，paint“绘画”，符合语境。repair“修理”；control“控制”；hang“悬挂”，均不符合绘画创作语境。【12题详解】句意：我退后一步，对自己很满意——直到我的刷子滑落。until“直到”，此处表示动作发生的时间节点。if“如果”；though“虽然”；because“因为”，均不符合逻辑。【13题详解】句意：一条长长的、丑陋的棕色线条像疤痕一样横穿天空。根据“mistake”和“likeascar(疤痕)”，可知这条线条是不好看的，ugly“丑陋的，难看的”，符合语境。pleasant“令人愉快的”；dangerous“危险的”；warm“温暖的”，均不符合疤痕的比喻语境。【14题详解】句意：我僵在原地，看着我的失败。根据上文“Therewasnotimetostartagain.”，出现失误无法重来，作者愣住，frozen“僵住的”，符合当时的状态。excited“兴奋的”；patient“耐心的”；bored“无聊的”，均不符合面对失误的心情。【15题详解】句意：相反，她拿起画笔，把那条棕色线条画成了一棵高大树木的树干。老师没有说话，而是动手改造画面，instead“相反，取而代之”，体现转折。so“所以”；otherwise“否则”；moreover“此外”，均不符合上下文逻辑。【16题详解】句意：那道曾经是疤痕的天空，突然变成了一幅风景——宁静、深邃又绝妙。前文提到棕色线条划破的是天空，sky“天空”，符合原文场景。brush“画笔”；cloud“云朵”；tree“树”，均不符合。【17题详解】句意：这个错误使这幅画免于成为一幅普通的作品！根据前文“fantastic”对比，之前只是完美但普通。common“普通的”，此处表示原本作品差点变得平平无奇。small“小的”；interesting“有趣的”；colourful“多彩的”，均不符合句意。【18题详解】句意：后来我了解到，世界上一些最伟大的发现始于意外，比如青霉素或者微波炉。根据举例青霉素、微波炉，这都属于意外得来的发现，discoveries“发现”，符合语境。habits“习惯”；tasks“任务”；traditions“传统”，均不匹配举例内容。【19题详解】句意：但错误的真正魔力不仅在于它变成了什么而是它带给你的改变。根据语境强调错误的积极转化力量及神奇之处。magic“魔力，神奇之处”，契合文章主旨。degree“程度”；cause“原因”；symbol“象征”，均不符合句意。【20题详解】句意：它迫使你停下，重新审视，去尝试你从未计划过的事物。根据“accidents”可知是非计划的、意外的尝试。planned“计划”，指去做原本不在计划之内的尝试。praised“表扬”；failed“失败”；compared“比较”，均不符合语境。【21题详解】句意：现在，每当我遭遇棘手或者令人不快的处境——考试中、友谊里，或是我打造的某件事上，我努力不僵住。meetwith“遭遇，遇见”，后接困难处境。runfrom“逃离”；takeup“开始从事”；goover“复习”，均不符合。【22题详解】句意：我提醒我自己：这只是路上的一个拐弯，不是终点。根据内心独白自我激励，属于提醒自己记住教训。remind“提醒”，符合内心自我告诫。question“质疑”；warn“警告”；promise“承诺”，均不符合。三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AGrowingplantsisagoodwayforyoutorelaxandknowthevalueofwork.Herearesomestepstogrowyourowntomatoes.Step1:GrowfromseedsCutopenatomatototaketheseedsout,andplanttheminthesoil.Makesureyouwaterthesoiluntiltheplantsarestrongandtall.Step2:Careforsprouts(嫩芽)Onceyourseedshavesprouted,keepthemunderaclearcover,whichcreatesamini-environmentforthemtogrowstrong.Step3:________Whenthesproutsgrowintoseedlings(幼苗),takeawaythecoverandexpose(暴露)themalittlemoretothenaturalenvironment.Keepacloseeyeonthem,astoomuchsun,water,orwindcouldharmtheirgrowth.Step4:Transplant(移栽)seedlingsOnceyourseedlingshave4to5leaves,they’rereadyforanewhome.Preparealargerplacefortheseedlingstobetransplanted.Checktheroots(根)aredeepenoughtogettheroomtheyneedtogrow.Step5:Grow,grow,growGrowyourtomatoplantsinasunnyplace,buttoomuchwindwon’tdothemanygood.Putupastake(支架)tostoptheplantsbeingblownover.23.Whatmustyouremembertododuringthefirsttwosteps?A.Putatomatointhesoil.

纸质记忆价值的故事。【41题详解】根据文章第一段“Youcanfindallthesebooksonlinenow.It’sfaster,cleaner,anddoesn’ttakeupspace.”可推知Leo觉得书太占空间，网上都能找到，可以处理掉这些书。可以填HethoughtGrandpashouldthrowthemaway.【42题详解】根据文章第一段“It’sfaster,cleaner…”和第三段第一句“thinkingabouttheefficiency…”可推知数字世界带来速度和效率。可以填Itcouldbringhimspeedandefficiency.【43题详解】根据文章第四段“…sayathree-minutegoodbyetoafriendmovingabroad.”可推知信是一位要移居国外的朋友写的。可以填Grandpa’sfriend(whomovedabroad).【44题详解】根据文章第六段“…itcouldnotrecordlivelymemoriesasGrandpa’soldlettercould.”可推知Leo会选择纸质信以记录记忆。可以填Byapaperletter.Becausepaperletterscanrecordlivelymemories,whilequickdigitalmessagescannotcatchthosespecialmoments.六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。TheMogaoCavesarefamousfortheirancientwallpaintings.InCave257,apaintingmadeduringtheNorthernWeiDynasty____45____(tell)atouchingstoryandattractsmanytourists.Longago,deepintheforest,therelivedamagicaldeer.Herfurshoneinninebrightcolours,makingher____46____(pretty)thananyotherdeer.Shewasalsokindandwouldhelpanyone____47____need.Oneday,shesavedamanfromariverandaskedhim____48____(promise)nottotellanyonewhereshelived.Thethankfulmansaidhewouldneverdoso.____49____,asheheardthekingwasofferingagreatrewardforfindingthedeer,hechangedhismind.He____50____(lead)thekingandhissoldiers(士兵)totheforest.Thekingwantedthedeerbecausehisgreedy(贪婪的)queendreamtaboutabeautifulnine-coloureddeer____51____wantedacoatmadeofherfur.Whenthedeersawthearmy,sherealizedwhathadhappenedatonce.Lookingattheman,shesaid____52____(peaceful)totheking,“Isavedthisman.Hepromisedtokeepmysecret.Butnowhehasbrokenhispromise.”Thekingwasmovedbyher____53____(kind).Herealizedthemanwasnotworthtrustandorderedhissoldierstostepback.Fromthenon,protection____54____(offer)tothedeerbytheking.Asforthebadman,hesoonbecameillanddiedofterriblesores(恶疮).【答案】45.tells46.prettier47.in48.topromise49.However50.led51.and52.peacefully53.kindness54.wasoffered【解析】【导语】本文介绍莫高窟257窟的九色鹿壁画，讲述了九色鹿救人却被人背叛，最终坏人得到惩罚的故事。【45题详解】句意：在257窟，一幅北魏时期创作的壁画讲述着一个动人的故事，吸引众多游客。主语apainting是第三人称单数，and连接并列谓语，后面attracts为三单形式，时态是一般现在时，tell变为tells。【46题详解】句意：它的皮毛闪耀着九种鲜亮的色彩，让它比其他任何鹿都更漂亮。句中有than表示比较，pretty要使用形容词比较级prettier。【47题详解】句意：它也很善良，会帮助任何有需要的人。固定搭配inneed，表示“有需要的”，填介词in。【48题详解】句意：有一天，它从河里救起一个男人，要求他承诺不告诉任何人她住在哪里。固定搭配asksb.nottodosth.表示“要求某人不要做某事”，promise变为topromise。【49题详解】句意：然而，当他听说国王重金悬赏寻找这只鹿时，他改变了主意。前后两句是转折关系，空格位于句首，后面有逗号隔开，填However。【50题详解】句意：他带领国王和士兵来到森林。全文故事使用一般过去时，lead的过去式为led。【51题详解】句意：国王想要这只鹿，因为贪婪的王后梦见一只美丽的九色鹿，想要一件用它皮毛做成的大衣。前后两个谓语动词是并列关系，填并列连词and。【52题详解】句意：看着这个男人，它平静地对国王说。此处修饰动词said，要用副词，peaceful的副词形式是peacefully。【53题详解】句意：国王被它的善良打动。形容词性物主代词her后面需要接名词，kind的名词形式kindness，表示“善良”。【54题详解】句意：从那以后，国王开始保护这只鹿。主语protection和offer之间是被动关系，“Fromthenon”指代故事里的过去时间，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是protection，be动词用was，offer的过去分词是offered。七、书面表达（满分15分）55.假如你是李华，你的英国朋友Lucy觉得自己性格过于安静，不如别人有活力和创造力，产生了自我怀疑，写信向你求助。请你根据以下提示写一封回信，帮她解决困惑、悦纳自己。1．不同性格，各有优劣；……；2．取长补短，提升自信；……。参考词汇：personalityn.性格；improvev.提升；confidencen.自信注意：1．文中不得出现
