学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、单项选择(每小题1分，共20分)
1．The answer came to him _______ a flash.
A．with B．or C．in D．to
【答案】C
【详解】
句意：他突然间想到了答案。
考查介词短语。with带有；和；or或者；否则；in在（一段时间）；to到；位于。in a flash表示“一瞬间；突然间”，固定搭配。故选C。
2．Jeff used to be a driver, but now he is a worker. He ________ in a factory for five years.
A．works B．worked C．is working D．has worked
【答案】D
【详解】
句意：杰夫曾经是一名司机，但是现在他是一名工人。他已经在工厂工作5年了。
考查动词时态辨析。works一般现在时的三单形式；worked一般过去时；is working现在进行时；has worked现在完成时。根据时间状语for+一段时间，表示过去某一时间开始并延续到现在，且有可能继续下去的动作，用现在完成时has/have done结构，主语he是第三人称，所以空格处填has worked。故选D。
3．Alex Ferguson found ________ difficult to say goodbye to the fans.
A．it B．this C．that D．them
【答案】A
【详解】
句意： 亚历克斯·弗格森发现很难跟粉丝说再见。
考查代词辨析。it它；this这个；that那个；them他们。固定句式：find+it+形容词+to do sth“发现做某事是……”。动词不定式to say goodbye to the fans是真正的宾语，所以空格处填it作形式宾语。故选A。
【点睛】
find+it+形容词+to do sth是经常考的一个句式，表示“发现做某事是……的”。it在句中作形式宾语，不需翻译；形容词在句中作宾语补足语；动词不定式to do sth是真正的宾语。
4．________ important information it is!
A．How B．What C．What a D．What an
【答案】B
【详解】
句意：它是一条多么重要的信息啊！
考查感叹句。感叹句的结构为：what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语；how+形容词+主语+谓语。原句中important表示“重要的”，是形容词；information表示“信息”，是不可数名词，所以空格处填what。故选B。
【点睛】
感叹句的结构为：what+形容词+不可数名词/可数名词复数+主语+谓语；what+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语；how+形容词+主语+谓语。当不确定是选what还是how时，可先将句中的主语和谓语删除，看剩下的词是形容词就用how，是名词就用what。
5．It takes more than four hours ________ Thailand from Shanghai by plane.
A．reaching B．reached C．reach D．to reach
【答案】D
【详解】
句意：从上海到泰国坐飞机要花费4个多小时。
考查非谓语动词辨析。reaching动名词；reached过去分词；reach动词原形；to reach动词不定式。固定搭配it takes+时间+to do sth，表示“花费时间做某事”，所以空格处填动词不定式to reach。故选D。
6．Nearly _______ of the students in your class took part in the English competition.
A．one-third B．one-three C．one-thirds D．first-three
【答案】A
【详解】
句意：你们班几乎三分之一的学生参加了英语竞赛。
考查数词用法。分数的表达方式：分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于1时，分母用序数词复数形式。one和three是基数词；first和third是序数词，所以三分之一正确表达方式是one-third。故选A。
【点睛】
分数的表达方式：分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于1时，分母用序数词的复数形式。
7．Learning takes place _______ different ways throughout a person’s life.
A．about B．on C．to D．in

【详解】
句意：学习在人一生中的以不同的方式发生。
考查介词辨析。about关于；on在……上；to到；in以……方式。take place表示“发生”，learning表示“学习”，different ways“不同的方式”，根据句意，可知，原句表示“学习在人一生中以不同的方式发生”，所以空格处填介词in。故选D。
8．— Hello, may I speak to Lily?
— _______
A．I’m Lily. B．Who are you? C．This is Lily speaking. D．No, thanks.
【答案】C
【详解】
句意：——你好，我能和Lily通话吗？——我是Lily。
考查情景交际。A选项意为“我是Lily”；B选项意为“你是谁？”；C选项意为“我是Lily”；D选项意为“不，谢谢”。根据问句可知，对话的情景应该是打电话，在打电话用语中，用“this is…”表示“我是……”，C选项符合句意。故选C。
9．Mrs Wang couldn’t fall asleep _______ her son arrived home.
A．until B．if C．because D．so
【答案】A
【详解】
句意：直到王女士的儿子到家，她才睡着。
考查从属连词辨析。until直到；if如果；是否；because因为；so因此。结合句意可知，此句表示“直到儿子到家，才睡觉”，用短语not…until连接，意为“直到……才”。故选A。
10．People found it convenient _______ in the city after the underground built.
A．travel B．travelling C．to travel D．travelled
【答案】C
【详解】
句意：人们发现在地铁建成之后在城市里旅行非常方便。
考查不定式用法。travel旅行，动词原形；travelling动词ing形式；to travel不定式；travelled过去式。“find it+形容词+to do sth.”表示“发现做某事很……”，其中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式。故选C。
【点睛】
不定式作宾语分两种情况：
1.作某些动词的宾语：不定式可在某些动词后作宾语，宾语后有补足语时，用it作形式宾语而不定式后置。例如：How I wish to see my old friends again！
2.作介词宾语：不定式一般不直接作介词宾语，若在介词后作宾语通常用“疑问句+不定式”结构。例如：I don’t know what to do next.
11．Sally, _______ Jane’s homework.
A．not copy B．don’t copy C．doesn’t copy D．mustn’t copy
【答案】B
【详解】

12．The furniture in the living room _______ him a lot of money.
A．paid B．bought C．spent D．cost
【答案】D
【详解】
句意：起居室的家具花费他很多钱。
考查动词辨析。paid、bought、spent和cost均可表示“花费”，但paid、bought和spent的主语通常是人，“sth. cost sb.+时间/金钱/力气”表示“某物花费某人时间/金钱/力气”。故选D。
13．The lady was _______ ill that she couldn’t get out of the bed.
A．so B．too C．very D．enough
【答案】A
【详解】
句意：这位女士如此的不舒服，以至于她下不了床。

A．must B．may C．can D．need
【答案】A
【详解】
句意：——我今天必须完成工作吗？——是的，你必须完成。老板正盼着呢。
考查情态动词。must必须；一定；may可能；can能够；可以；need需要。根据“The boss is looking forward to it.”可知，一般疑问句的回答应该是肯定的，must表示“必须”时，含must的问句，肯定回答为must，否定回答是needn’t或don’t have to。故选A。
15．_______ important invention a computer is, for it has made our life easier than before.
A．What an B．What a C．What D．How
【答案】A
【详解】
句意：电脑是多么重要的发明啊，它已经使我们的生活变得比以前更容易。
考查感叹句。结合给出部分可知，感叹句的主语为a computer，be动词为is，并且invention为可数名词，因此感叹句的句型为“What a/an+形容词+可数名词+主语+谓语”，invention以元音音素开头，因此用an修饰。故选A。
【点睛】
感叹句一般由how或what引导。how作状语，修饰形容词、副词或句子；what作定语，修饰名词（名词前可有形容词或冠词）。
What引导的感叹句：
What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！
What+形容词+可数名词复数+主语+谓语！
What+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语！
How引导的感叹句：
How+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！
How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！
How+主语+谓语！

A．Thousands B．Thousands of C．Thousand of D．Thousand
【答案】B

句意：每年都有成千上万的游客到香港旅游，因为香港是一个“购物天堂”。
考查数词用法。thousand表示确切数量，用单数形式；表示不确切数量时，要用复数形式，且与of连用。故选B。
【点睛】
hundred、thousand、million等表示数量的用法
hundred、thousand、million在表示确切数量时，用单数形式，如two thousand people“两千人”；
hundred、thousand、million等表示不确切数量时，要用复数形式，且与of连用，如thousands of people“几千人”；
hundred、thousand、million等可以被具体的数字修饰，也可被several、a few修饰。如several thousand years“几千年”。
17．There is _______ “H” in the word “hour”.
A．/ B．the C．a D．an
【答案】D
【详解】
句意：在单词“hour”中有一个“H”。
考查不定冠词用法。/零冠词；the定冠词；a一个，不定冠词；an一个，不定冠词。此处是泛指，因此用不定冠词，字母H音标为/eɪtʃ/，以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an修饰。故选D。
【点睛】
a和an区别：
1.a用在以辅音音素开头单词前面：
例如：a man一个男人 a university一所大学
a hat一顶帽子 a European一个欧洲人 a one-way street一条单行马路
2.an用在以元音音素开头单词前面：
例如：an apple一个苹果 an island一个岛
an uncle一位大叔 an onion一个洋葱
an egg一个鸡蛋 an hour一小时
3.an还用在发音以元音开头的单个字母前面：
例如： an MP一个国会议员 an SOS一个呼救信号 an‘x’一个x字母

本文是一篇特朗普胜选美国总统的演讲稿。
21．句意：她向我们表示了祝贺。
根据句子结构，人称代词主格she是主语，人称代词宾格us是宾语，所以空格处缺谓语动词。根据文章标题Donald Trump’s Victory Speech，可知，本文是特朗普胜选总统的演讲稿，结合所给选项，可知，此时别人应是来向他表示祝贺。“祝贺”这个动作是发生在刚才的电话中，所以空格处用动词的一般过去时congratulated。故选F。
22．句意：我是说，她真的在拼尽全力战斗。
根据句子结构，是一个宾语从句，引导词that已省略。根据上文And I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign“我也向她和她的家人表示敬意，他们在这场硬仗中坚持了下来”，以及结合所给的选项，可知，此空处表示“她真的在拼尽全力战斗”，表述过去发生的事情，用动词的一般过去时fought。故选A。

24．句意：对于过去不支持我的那些人来说，现在我需要你们的指导和援助，让我们一起把这个伟大的国家团结起来。

25．句意：就像我从一开始就说的那样，我们的选战是由数百万勤奋工作的男男女女组成。
根据句意，本句中ours代表上文所指的our hard-fought campaign，以及空格后millions of hard-working men and women，可知，空格处所在句子表示“这场选战是由数百万勤奋工作的男男女女组成”，结合所给选项，空格处填made up of表示“由……组成”。故选E。
26．句意：他们热爱自己的国家，为了他们自己和他们家人，他们想要一个更好的，更明亮的未来。
根据句子结构，空格处表示“一个……的未来”，空格处与better共同修饰名词future，所以空格处也填形容词的比较级，且词义与better词义相近。结合所给选项，空格处填brighter表示“更明亮的”。故选D。

五、短文汉语提示填空(共6分)
Going Zero Waste means more than just managing the rubbish we produce. It means reducing it too. While it might seem like a difficult thing to do, it’s well worth it. And what better time to start than Spring Festival?
We need to copy the way Nature wastes nothing. Human beings create many things that we know will soon become u37． and be thrown out. How many plastic bottles or even PCs end up in the rubbish bin? I38．, we should design products that can be more easily repaired, re-used and recycled.
Kamikatsu, a Japanese village, has already gone Zero Waste. The 2,000 villagers collect their leftovers（剩余物）, and recycle e39． else. There are 34 different boxes at the recycling centre! Residents complain about the inconvenience, but they also see the benefits.
People who live Zero Waste are careful about what they do. They never take more than they need. Re-using plastic bags at supermarkets is a great way to reduce waste. And those who plan before they shop avoid having to throw food out later. Also, it’s best not to go food shopping when you’re h40．: You’ll be sure to buy too much!
Let’s know about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Spring Festival. By sending recyclable cards, we can help our friends and family reduce waste. And what a better way is to enjoy some presents w41． packaging.
Going Zero Waste requires us to think more about what happens before and after we act. It takes ambition, and it’s not always easy. But just think how good it would be, b42． for ourselves and for the environment, if we never had to waste anything.

39．everything
40．hungry
41．without
42．both
【分析】
本文介绍了如何创造零浪费的生活。
37．句意：人类创造了许多我们知道很快就变得无用的和被扔掉的东西。
become表示“变得”，是系动词，后接形容词。and表示并列关系连词，连接的词义前后保持一致。根据and后be thrown out表示“被扔掉”，可知，人类所创造的许多东西最后都变得无用了，然后被扔掉，结合所给首字母，空格处填useless。故答案为useless。
38．句意：反而，我们应该设计可以更容易维修，重复利用和回收利用的产品。
根据前文Human beings create many things that we know will soon become useless and be thrown out“人类创造了许多很快变得无用和被扔掉的东西”，及后文we should design products that can be more easily repaired, re-used and recycled“我们应该设计更容易维修，可以重复利用和回收利用的产品”，可知，我们要用“可以重复利用和回收利用的产品”代替“很快变得无用被扔掉的东西”，空格处位于句首，且空格后有逗号，结合所给首字母，空格处填instead。故答案为Instead。
39．句意：这2000位村民收集了他们的剩余物，并回收利用了一切别的东西。
空格后else表示“别的”，通常与疑问代词和不定代词连用。根据前文a Japanese village, has already gone Zero Waste. The 2,000 villagers collect their leftovers，可知，一个日本村庄已经开始开展“零浪费”，2000位村名收集了他们的剩余物，并回收利用了一切别的东西，根据所给首字母，空格处填不定代词everything。故答案为everything。
40．句意：当你饿的时候，最好也不要去食品商店。那样你会买更多。
空格前are是系动词，后接形容词。根据下文You’ll be sure to buy too much“你一定会买太多”，结合所给首字母，可知，为了避免买太多的食物最后扔掉，所以当你饿的时候最好不要去食品商店，所以空格处填hungry。故答案为hungry。
41．句意：一个更好的方式就是用没有包装的礼物。
根据前文Let’s know about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Spring Festival“让我们去了解如何过一个零浪费的春节”，可知，在春节我们会收到一些礼物，而没有包装的礼物才是最好的“零浪费”的方式，所以空格处填介词without。故答案为without。
42．句意：但是想想，如果我们从不浪费任何东西，这对于我们自己和环境将是多么地好。
if引导的是条件状语从句，根据从句if we never had to waste anything“如果我们从不浪费任何东西”，可知，这对于我们自己和我们的身体都是有好处的，结合所给首字母，空格处填连词both与and一起连用，表示“……和……都”。故答案为both。

The sixth sense

The "sixth sense" is often said to be a strong feeling that a person has about something or someone. Read about one mother's experience.
I had a feeling ...
Kathy Sansano arrived home from work two months ago at 7:00 in the evening. "Usually, my husband is home before me, but when I got in, his briefcase was there, but he wasn't," recalls Sansano. She just thought that he want to the store for something. Sansano began preparing dinner, but couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. "I just started feeling very anxious and had to sit down. Five minutes later my husband phoned to say that our son had been injured in a football game at school."
Luckily, the boy only had a broken wrist, but Sansano still can't explain how she knew something was wrong. "It might have been 'mother's intuition (直觉)'" she laughs. "My son and I have always been very close."
Science points out five basic senses that humans use to experience the world. There is now evidence that human may also own a sixth sense-or an intuition about people or events. Recent studies suggest that insects and animals release odorless(meaning "without any smells") chemicals into the environment to send signal emotions such as fear or aggression (侵略). When another creature of the same kind senses the chemical, certain behavior is caused in that creature; for example, it will prepare to fight or to protect itself.
Scientists believe that humans long ago may have communicated using these kinds of chemical signals. "I walked into the room, and something just didn't seem right." It may be that the person is sensing chemical messages that have been produced by others. Kathy Sansano's husband may have left the house feeling afraid and worried about their son. When Kathy got home, she sensed his worry.

58．题意：是什么让凯西觉得不对劲？
根据第4段最后一句中“It might have been 'mother's intuition (直觉)（她笑着说：“可能是‘母亲的直觉’。”）”及第1段第1句“The "sixth sense" is often said to be a strong feeling that a person has about something or someone.（“第六感”通常被认为是一个人对某事或某人的强烈感觉。）以及第6段第3句“It may be that the person is sensing chemical messages that have been produced by others.（可能是人感觉到了其他人产生的化学信息。）”可知“母亲的直觉。/凯西的直觉。/她的直觉/直觉/第六感觉/她丈夫的化学信号（信息）让凯西觉得不对劲。故答案为“Mother's intuition. / Kathy's intuition. / Her/An intuition / The sixth sense. /Her husband's chemical signals(messages).”。
59．题意：根据最近的研究，昆虫和动物如何传递情感信号？
根据第5段第3句“Recent studies suggest that insects and animals release odorless(meaning "without any smells") chemicals into the environment to send signal emotions such as fear or aggression.（最近的研究表明，昆虫和动物向环境释放无嗅的化学物质（意思是“没有任何气味”），以传递诸如恐惧或攻击等信号情绪。）”可知“通过释放/他们释放无味的化学物质到环境中传递情感信号”。故答案为“By releasing / They release odorless chemicals into the environment.”。
60．题意：如果您感觉到“恐惧”的讯息，您可能会怎么做？
根据第5段第3和4句“Recent studies suggest that insects and animals release odorless(meaning "without any smells") chemicals into the environment to send signal emotions such as fear or aggression When another creature of the same kind senses the chemical, certain behavior is caused in that creature; for example, it will prepare to fight or to protect itself. (最近的研究表明，昆虫和动物向环境释放无嗅的化学物质（意思是“没有任何气味”），以传递诸如恐惧或攻击等情绪信号。当同类的另一个生物感觉到这种化学物质时，就会在这种生物身上产生某种行为；例如，它会准备战斗或保护自己。)”结合常识可知“（我会）准备战斗/（或想办法）保护自己。/（我会）为保护自己而战。”故答案为“(I will) prepare to fight / (or find ways) to protect myself. / (I will) fight to protect myself.”。
61．题意：您相信生活中有第六感吗？ 向您显示原因或示例。

【例文】
Failure makes me grow up
I had difficulty in math when I was in Grade 8.However hard I tried, my math grade was still bad. Later, I failed to pass an important examination. It's very painful for me. Before I decided to give up, it was my math teacher who gave me a hand and told me that failure could also teach us a lesson. Failure is the mother of success. What she told me encouraged me to face with my math problem bravely. With her encouragement, I was not afraid of math. Finally, my math grades improved. Since then, I have been confident in myself. Up to now, my math has been very good. I don't meet with any difficulty in doing anything.
