参考答案:

1.A

【详解】句意：作为现代中国的学生，每个人都应该努力工作，过有意义的生活。

考查冠词。此处用livea/an...life表示“过着...的生活”，meaningful以辅音音素开头，其前用不定冠词ao

故选Ao

2.D

【详解】句意：2024年1月1日上午，习近平主席发表了新年贺词。

考查介词辨析。in用在世纪、年、季节等前；。£..…的；at后接钟点或正午；。n后接具体到某一天的时间

或具体某一天的早晨。根据空后“themorningofJanuary1st”可知，指的是具体某一天的上午。故选D。

3.D

【详解】句意：——昆明一年四季不太冷也不太热，是一个居住或旅游的好地方。——对。我去年去过那

里。

考查代词辨析。that那；one同类中的一个；this这；it指代同一事物。neithertoocoldnortoohotall

yearroundinKunming,making...aperfectplacetoliveinorvisit.”可知此处用it指代上文提到过的昆明。故

选D。

4.D

【详解】句意：一一我们的英语老师非常自信。他总是准备好接受挑战。一一他确实是。我们都喜欢他。

考查动词辨析。touch触摸;choose选择；discuss讨论；accept接受。根据"OurEnglishteacherisveryconfident.
