have

developed D.developed【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查时态。句意：希望在2025年，我们不再互相发电子邮件，因为到那时候我们将开发出更方便的电子通信工具。根据时间状语in2025，可知用将来时；再根据时间状语bythen（到那时），可知用完成时。结合两者可知用将来完成时。故选C。点睛：本题考查时态。句中包含的时间状语是解答此题的突破点。所以要做好此类题，一定要注意题中有没有明确的时间点，或者其他可以代替时间点的词，所以根据时间状语可以看出正确答案。本题的关键在于抓住题干中的两个时间状语in2025和bythen，从而得出答案。7.—Canwefinishpackingtheseorderssomeothertime?—__________?Theyarenoturgent.A.Whatfor B.Whynot C.Sowhat D.Whybother【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查情景交际和省略句。句意：——我们能不能改天再包装这些订货？——为什么不呢？要的不是很急。A.Whatfor为什么；B.Whynot为何不；C.Sowhat那又怎样；D.Whybother何必费心。根据“Theyarenoturgent.”可知，此处表示对前句的征求意见表示赞同，用whynot，表示“为什么不呢”。故选B项。8.______makesourschoolfamousis______morethan90%ofthestudentshavebeenadmittedtouniversities.A.What;that B.Which;because C.That;what D.What;because【答案】A【解析】【分析】【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：使我们学校出名的是，超过90%的学生都被大学录取了。分析可知，句子为“主系表”结构，分别用主语从句和表语从句做相应的句子成分，主语从句中缺主语且表示“什么”的含义，所以用what引导；表语从句中引导词在句中不做任何成分，没有实际意义，所以用that引导。故选A项。9.Lisawouldn’t________thejobanymore.Shehadabigargumentwithherbossandresigned.A.eupwith B.keepupwithC.makeupwith D.putupwith【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：丽莎不会再忍受那份工作了。她和老板大吵了一架，然后辞职了。A.eupwith提出；B.keepupwith赶上；C.makeupwith与……和解；D.putupwith忍受，容忍。根据下文她和老板吵架并辞职可推测出上文是指她不会再忍受这份工作，故选D。10.I’msorryyouhavebeenwaitingsolong,butitwillstillbesometime________youcangetyourpassport.A.since B.tillC.after D.before【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查连词。句意：真是对不起让你等了这么久，可还要一段时间以后你才能够拿到你的护照。A.since自从；既然；B.till直到……才；C.after在……之后；D.before在……之前。固定句型“Itbe+一段时间+before从句”表示“一段时间以后某事才发生”。本句考查的正是这个句型。故D项正确。11.______________theirfinalmedicalcheck,theastronautsboardedtheirspacecraft.A.Received B.BeingreceivedC.Toreceive D.Havingreceived【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：接受了最后的体检后，宇航员们登上了宇宙飞船。astronauts与receive之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，而且体检发生在登上宇宙飞船之前，所以用现在分词的完成式作状语，故D项正确。12.ThereareagreatnumberofattractionsinTianjin,______IliketheAncientCulturalStreetbest.A.which B.where C.amongthem D.amongwhich【答案】D【解析】【分析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：天津有很多景点，其中我最喜欢的是古文化街。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的先行词attractions，表示“在那些景点之中”，用介词among，介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，指物，只能用which，所以用amongwhich引导。故选D项。13.Generally,students’innermotivationwithhighexpectationsfromothers___________essentialtotheirdevelopment.A.is B.areC.was D.were【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查主谓一致和动词时态。句意：一般来说，学生的内在动机和对他人的高期望对他们的发展至关重要。作主语的名词或代词用介词with连接时,谓语动词和with前的一个名词或代词的人称和数一致

。主语为motivation，故谓语为单数；根据语境及generally可知，描述的为一般情况，故使用一般现在时态，故选A。14.Someexpertsthink,_____genes,intelligencealsodependonanadequatediet,agoodeducationandanicehomeenvironment.A.insteadof B.apartfrom C.exceptfor D.farfrom【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：一些专家认为，除了基因，智力还取决于充足的饮食、良好的教育和良好的家庭环境。A.insteadof代替；B.apartfrom除了；C.exceptfor除了；D.farfrom远非。根据句意可知，此处表示“除了”，apartfrom既表示排除意义，又可以表示补充意义；exceptfor侧重于排除在外，从整体里减去。根据句意，表示“除了……（还有）”，所以应该用apartfrom。故选B项。15.Hedoesn’tthinkthattheplanispractical,_____?A.doeshe B.doesn’the C.isit D.isn’tit【答案】C【解析】【分析】【详解】考查反意疑问句。句意：他认为这个计划不切实际，是吗？A.doeshe他是吗；B.doesn’the他不是吗；C.isit它是吗；D.isn’tit它不是吗。分析可知，句子句式属于“I(we)don’tthink+that从句”，在该句式中，从句为否定意义，反意疑问句部分的系动词/助动词/情态动词和主语要与that从句保持一致且用肯定式，因此在本题中，反意疑问句应是与从句中的系动词“is”保持一致，主语与“theplan”保持一致，用第三人称单数“it”代替，故反意疑问句为：isit。故选C项。第二节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1635各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。LastJulyIgotajobatatheaterIadmire.Iwasfeelinglucky.Butsomethingwasn’t____16____.MydaughterwasgoingtoleaveforuniversityinthefallandIwasn’t____17____forhertogo.Ourhouseholdissmallandtightknit（关系亲密的）.It’sjustthetwoofus.IwasexcitedformydaughterandIfeltIhad____18____herwell.Butnoonehadpreparedmeforthis.Iwas____19____.IfeltasthoughIweredrowning（溺亡）.Somehow,thisfeelingofdrowningwaswhat____20____me.OnedayasIwaswalkinghome,I____21____theuniversitypool.Imusthavewalkedpastitamilliontimes.Swimmingwasn’tsomethingIusuallydid.Andyetsomething____22____metotakeitup.ThenextmorningI____23____thepool.Iheadedovertotheshallowend,theareareservedfor____24____likeme.Iwalkeddownthecoldstepsintothepollandallofasudden,Iwasin.Icouldtouchthefloor,andthatwasreassuring（安心的）.Ilookedaroundtomakesuretheotherpeopleweren’twatchingmyawkwardstrokes.“Nooneiswatching,”I____25____tomyself.Noonecaresifyoulooklikeababyelephantswimmingforthefirsttime.Noonecaresifyourheart____26____whenmydaughterpacksupherthingsand____27____.Somehow,inthatmoment,thiswas____28____.Iswamslowlyfromoneendtotheother,feelinga____29____.Ifoundmyselfcrying.Thankfully,noonecouldtellmy____30____fromthewaterrunningdownmyface.Afterward,Iheadedforthechangingroom,smilingandfeelingproudthatIfacedthis____31____.WhenIgothome,mydaughtersaidthatIlooked____32____.Thenextday,Iwasupearly,swimmingbaginhandIwas____33____afraidofdrowning.Iwasbreathingeasier.Iwasfeelingbetter.Having“anemptynest”isaneasycatchphrase（口头禅）forsomethingthatisimpossibletodescribe.Itisnotjustanemptyroom.Itisa____34____partofwhoyouare.Andforme,swimming____35____apartofthathole.16.A.special
