1.Alltheapplicantswillhavesecondtryiftheyfailinterviewtestthistime.

A.a;theB.a;anC.an;theD.the;an

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】考查冠词。句意：所有的应聘者如果这次面试失败，将再有一次机会。a/an+序数词，意为“又一，

再一”。第二空特指“这次面试”，所以用定冠词the。故选A。

2.一Howoftendoyouvisityourgrandparentsinthecountryside?

—.justbecauseofthelockdownandstay-instudiesathome.

A.OccasionallyB.BitterlyC.IncrediblyD.Illegally

【答案】A

家学习。A.Occasionally偶尔地；B.Bitterly残酷地；C.Incredibly难以置信地；D.Illegally非法地。根据“just

becauseofthelockdownandstay-instudiesathome.”可知，因为封锁和在家学习，所以偶尔去乡下看望祖父

母一次。故选A。

3.AsfarasI'mconcerned,planningeverythingsofaraheadnosense—somanythingsmayhavechanged

bynextyear.

A.makesB.madeC.ismakingD.hasmade

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】考查时态，主谓一致。句意：就我而言，把所有事情都计划得这么早毫无意义——到明年很多事

情可能已经改变了。根据所给句子分析可知，本句主语“planningeverythingsofarahead（把所有事情都计

划得这么早”'，为非谓语动名词作主语，表示单数概念，因此谓语要与主语保持主谓一致使用单数。根据

句意分析可知，此处表达一般事实，需使用一般现在时。故填makes。

4.theInternetisofgreathelpbothtoourstudiesandlife,Idon'tthinkit'sagoodideatospendtoomuch

timeoniteveryday.

A.WhenB.WhileC.SinceD.Once

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然互联网有很大帮助，但是我不认为每天花太多时间在上面是一个

好主意。A.When当……时；B.While然而；C.Since自从；D.Once一旦。根据句意可知，前后句意存在

让步关系，应用while引导让步状语从句。故选B。

5.You'dbettertakedownthephonenumberofthecompanyfbrfuture_.

A.preferenceB.referenceC.memoryD.progress

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：你最好把公司的电话号码记下来，以便将来查询。根据空前takedownthe

phonenumberofthecompany及常识可知，记下电话号码是为了方便将来查询。A.preference偏爱；B.reference

查询；C.memory回忆；D.progress进步。故选B。

6.—Whatdoyouthinkofthebookyouborrowedfromthelibraryyesterday?

—It'sabook.Itservesasareallygoodguidetojobhunters.

A.lessthanB.morethanC.ratherthanD.otherthan

【答案】B

对于求职者来说，这是一个很好的指南。A.lessthan少于；B.morethan不仅仅；C.ratherthan而不是；D.other

than除了。根据“Itservesasareallygoodguidetojobhunters.“可知，这不仅仅是一本书，更是一本求职指

南。故选B。

7.Nowadaysmoreandmorepeopleabroadfindalmostimpossiblefbrthemtoavoidbuyingproductsmade

inChina.

A.thatB.themselvesC.itsD.it

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查代词。句意：现在越来越多的外国人发现他们儿乎不可能不买中国制造的产品。动词find后

用代词it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为不定式toavoidbuyingproductsmadeinChina。故选D。

8.FilneverforgetthoseyearsIlivedinthesmallcountywiththeworkers,hasagreateffecton

mylifetoday.

A.that;whichB.when;whoC.that;thatD.when;which

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我永远不会忘记我在小县城和工人们一起生活的那些年，这对我今天的生

活有很大的影响。第一空是限定性定语从句，先行词为thoseyears,关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，应用

关系副词when引导；第二空为非限制性定语从句，关系词指前面的事，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词

which引导。故选D。

9.Wearetoldthatmakesmistakesmustcorrectthem.

A.whateverB.whatC.whoD.whoever

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查连接词。句意：我们被告知，无论谁犯错误了都必须改正错误。主语从句中缺少主语，表示

"无论谁"，连接词为whoever。故填whoever。

10.Overthelastthreemonths,myroommateLinTaointhelibraryeverynight.

A.workedB.hadbeenworking

C.hasbeenworkingD.isworking

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查动词时态。句意：在过去的三个月里，我的室友林涛每晚都在图书馆工作.根据时间状语Over

thelastthreemonths,可知，此处使用现在完成时；句子描述的LinTao每晚在图书馆工作这个动作从过去的

三个月就开始一直持续到现在，还有可能会持续下去，因此用现在完成进行时。故选C项。

11.Itistheabilitytodothejobmattersnotwhereyoucomefromorwhatyouare.

A.whichB.whatC.thatD.it

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查连词。句意：重要的是做这项工作的能力，而不是你来自哪里，是干什么的。分析句子结构

可知这是一个强调句结构，由that或who引导从句，故选C项。

12.Theschoollibraryisstill.Youcanborrowthebookyou'reinneedof.

A.acceptableB.avoidableC.availableD.affordable

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:学校图书馆仍然开放。你可以借你需要的那本书。A.acceptable可接

受的；B.avoidable可避免的；C.available有空的；可利用的；D.affordable支付得起的。根据“Youcanborrow

thebookyou'reinneedof.”可知，学校图书馆仍然开放（可利用的）。故选C。

13.Theteacherstressedagainthatthestudentsshouldnotanyimportantdetailswhileretellingthestory.

AmakeoutB.leaveoutC.standoutD.bringout

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。句意:老师一再强调学生在复述故事时不要忽略掉任何重要的细节。A.make

out理解；辨认出；B.leaveout漏掉；忽略；C.standout突出；D.bringout使显示；出版；生产；说出。根

据“anyimportantdetails”可知，复述故事时不要忽略掉任何重要的细节。故选B。

14.AllthestudentssomethingbusilyintheclassroomwhentheirheadteacherMissBrowncameintofetch

abookshethere.

A.hadwritten,wereleavingB.werewriting,hadleft

C.arewriting,hasleftD.havewritten,hasleft

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查谓语动词。句意：所有的学生都在教室里忙着写东西的时候，突然他们的班主任布朗小姐进

来取她之前落在那里的一本书。分析句子结构和意思可知，第一个空所在的这句话AHthestudents

somethingbusilyintheclassroom对应的有when引导的时间状语从句，它描述的是过去正在发生着的动作，

所以谓语用过去进行时，主语是AHthestudents,be动词用were；第二个空是定语从句shethere

的谓语动词，修饰先行词book,描述的是过去的过去发生过的动作，用过去完成时。故选B。

15.一WouldyoumindifIaskedyouaquestion?

一,aslongasitwon'ttakelong.

A.OfcourseB.NevermindC.GoaheadD.Don'tworry

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查交际用语。句意：一一你介意我问你一个问题吗？——问吧，只要不需要很长时间。A.Ofcourse

当然：B.Nevermind（用于安慰）没关系，不用担心；C.Goahead表示同意或允许，表示同意对方的请求，根

据情况可译为：说吧，做吧，开始吧，进行吧；D.Don'tworry用来安慰对方不要担心。根据空后可知，后

者同意了前者的问问题的请求。故选C。

16.tomyChineseteacher'shandwriting,mineisjustsoso.

A.AddictedB.ExposedC.DevotedD.Compared

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：和我语文老师的书法相比，我的书法一般般。A.Addicted沉溺；使……

上瘾;B.Exposed暴露；C.Devoted致力于；D.Compared比较。根据"mineisjustsoso."可知，将我的书

法与语文老师的书法相比较。故选D。

17.Wehavelosttouchwiththetravelers;theylostinthedeepforest.

A.shouldhavegotB.can'thavegotC.willhavegotD.musthavegot

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查情态动词+havedone表示推测。句意：我们和游客失去了联系；他们肯定在森林深处迷路了。

因为此处包含了词组getlost表示"迷路”，故各选项补充完成的形式如下：A.shouldhavegotlost本应该迷

路；B.can'thavegotlost本不可能迷了路；C.willhavegotlost将会迷路：D.musthavegotlost一定迷路了。

因为前文指出“失去联系”，故可推测一定已经迷了路。故选D项。

18.It'sreportedthatoftheroadcollapsed.Itneeds.

A.three-fourths;was;repairedB.threequarters;has;torepair

C.threequarters;has;repairingD.three-fourth;was;toberepaired

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查分数、主谓一致和固定搭配。句意：据报道这条路的四分之三已经坍塌。它需要修理。第一

空：根据分数表达法，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子超过一时，分母加s,“四分之三”是three

quarters/three-fourths/threefourths；第二空：“路”和“坍塌”之间是主动关系，不用被动语态，主语是一条

路，所以谓语动词用单数has+过去分词；第三空：”某事需要做"用somethingneedsdoing/tobedone。综上，

故选C。

19.—OK,I'matthecrossroadsthatyoutoldmeabout.?

一Well,walkonemoreblockeastandyouwillseethebankonyourleft.

A.NowwhatB.SowhatC.WhatforD.Guesswhat

【答案】A

走一个街区，你就会看到银行在你的左边。A.Nowwhat现在怎么办；B.Sowhat那又怎样；C.Whatfor为

什么；D.Guesswhat你猜怎么着。根据“Well,walkonemoreblockeastandyouwillseethebankonyourleft.

可知，现在在十字路口，不知道怎么办（走）。故选A。

20.—AreyougoingtoLiMing'sbirthdaypartytomorrowevening?

——Imighthavetoattendafamilymeetingthen.

A.ItdependsB.SoundsgreatC.ThankyouD.Allright

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】考查交际用语。句意：一一明天晚上你去参加李明的生日聚会吗?——视情况而定。那时我可能得

参加家庭会议。A.Itdepends视情况而定；B.Soundsgreat听起来不错；C.Thankyou谢谢；D.Allright好,

行。根据"Imighthavetoattendafamilymeetingthen.”可知，去不去参加李明的生日聚会会视情况而定。

故选Ao

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍瓶装水受欢迎的原因，但也带来了安全问题、卫生问题、资源

浪费等问题，号召人们节约资源，多用自来水。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Asingle-servewaterbottleoffersgreatconvenience,whichisn'ttheonlyreasonfor

bottledwater'sriseinpopularity.Manypeoplebelievethatbottledwateriscleanerandmorehealthfulthantapwater

frompublicwatersystem.（单次饮用的水瓶提供了极大的方便，这并不是瓶装水越来越受欢迎的唯一原因。许

多人认为瓶装水比公共供水系统的自来水更清洁、更健康。）”可知，许多人喜欢喝瓶装水是因为他们认为

瓶装水更方便、更清洁、更健康。Becausetheybelievethatbottledwaterismoreconvenient,cleaner

andmorehealthful.

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Byfederallaw,tapwaterissupposedtobetestedeveryyeartomakesureitissafeto

drink.Tapwateralsooftencontainsnaturallypresentminerals,suchascalciumandmagnesium.Thoseminerals

maketapwaterhealthful.（根据联邦法律，自来水应该每年进行检测，以确保饮用安全。自来水通常也含有天

然矿物质，如钙和镁。这些矿物质使自来水健康。）”和第三段的“Theimpactofbottledwaterontheenvironment

isstaggering.（瓶装水对环境的影响令人震惊）”可知，自来水更安全、含有让人健康的天然矿物质且能够减

少污染。故答案为Tapwaterissaferanditcontainshealthynaturalmineralsandreducespollution.

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Themanufacturingofallthosebottlesrequireslargequantitiesofcrudeoilandwater.

Thatprocessproducesgreenhousegases.Bottledwaterisoftenshippedlongdistancestoreachconsumers,

sometimesacrossvastcontinents.Thetransportationoftheproductusesevenmorefossilfuelsandcreatesmore

pollution.(生产所有这些瓶子需要大量的原油和水。这一过程会产生温室气体。瓶装水通常要经过长途运输

才能到达消费者手中，有时甚至跨越广阔的大陆。产品的运输使用了更多的化石燃料，造成了更多的污染

可知，一次性水瓶的整个生命周期都使用化石燃料，这导致了全球变暖，并造成污染。故答案为Theentirelife

cycleofdisposablewaterbottlesusesfossilfuels,whichcontributestoglobalwarmingandcausespollution.
