参考答案一、单项选择（共10小题，满分20分）1、B【解析】【详解】——我可以借支铅笔吗？——当然可以，给你。考查交际用语。“CouldI…?”是一种委婉地请求对方许可的句型，回答时要用can/can’t，但不可以用could/couldn’t，故排除选项A、D，根据“Hereyouare.”可知，用肯定回答。故选B。2、B【解析】【详解】句意：——看到交通灯变红，司机立刻把车停在十字路口附近。——你开车务必要小心。考查介词短语辨析。atfirst首先；atonce立刻；atleast至少。根据“Seeingthetrafficlightsturnred,thedriverstoppedhiscarnearthecrossroad”可知，看到交通灯变红，司机应立刻把车停在十字路口附近，故选B。3、B【解析】【详解】句意：——她在35岁时获得了奥运会金牌。——太令人惊讶了。在这样的年纪要做到这一点几乎是不可能的。考查形容词辨析。interesting有趣的；amazing令人惊讶的；strange奇怪的；typical典型的。根据“It’salmostimpossibletoachievethisatsuchanoldage.”可知，几乎是不可能的，所以非常的令人惊讶，故选B。4、C【解析】【详解】句意：——你离开家乡多久了？——五年了。考查特殊疑问句。Howsoon多久之后，用于将来时；Howfar多远；Howlong多长时间；Howmuch多少钱。根据答语“Forfiveyears.”可知，对时间段提问，用howlong。故选C。5、C【解析】【详解】句意：——为什么你奶奶不会读书写字？——因为那时她上不起学。考查动词辨析。try尝试；live生活；afford负担得起。根据“Becauseshecouldn’t...togotoschoolatthattime.”可知奶奶那个时候上不起学。故选C。6、D【解析】【详解】句意：汤姆看起来很伤心，因为他丢了票。考查现在完成时。loses是第三人称单数形式，是一般现在时；willlost本身错误；islosing是现在进行时；haslost是现在完成时。根据“Tomlookssosad”可知汤姆看起来很伤心，原因状语从句用现在完成时表示过去发生或已完成的动作对现在造成的影响。故选D。7、A【解析】【详解】句意：——别担心。我一到武汉就给你写信。——我期待收到您的来信。考查动词短语。hearfrom收到某人的来信；learnfrom向……学习；meetwith和某人见面。根据“IwillwritetoyouassoonasIgettoWuhan”和“Iamlookingforwardto...you”可知，空处指期待收到对方的来信，故选A。8、A【解析】【详解】句意：——这个星期我必须还书吗？——不，你不需要。你可以保存15天。考查情态动词以及动词辨析。needn’t不需要；mustn’t禁止；keep保存，延续性动词；borrow借入，非延续性动词；lend借出，非延续性动词。回答must引导的一般疑问句，肯定回答是“Yes,youmust”，否定回答是“No,youneedn’t”，排除C和D。第二个空所在句子的时间状语是“for15days”，要选延续性动词keep，lend和borrow都是非延续性动词，排除B。故选A。9、A【解析】【详解】句意：——李芬是个好女孩！——是的！她经常帮助李奶奶打扫房子。考查动词短语。cleanup清理；longfor渴望；throwaway扔掉；holdon继续。根据“SheoftenhelpsGrandmaLi...thehouse.”可知是指打扫房子，故选A。10、C【解析】【详解】句意：我的妈妈去了超市。我决定给自己做饭。考查现在完成时及havebeento和havegoneto的区别。根据“Idecidetocookformyself”可知妈妈去了超市，带来的影响是说话者为自己做饭，所以句子时态为现在完成时，其谓语结构为“have/has+done”，而havebeento表示“去了某地已回来”，havegoneto表示“去了某地未回来”，故选C。二、完成句子（共5小题，满分10分）11、Withmanybeautifulflowersandgreentreesaround,thisparkisagoodplacetorelaxafterahardday’swork.【解析】【详解】分析句子结构可知，with...around表示“……围绕”，“繁花绿树围绕”意为Withmanybeautifulflowersandgreentreesaround，thisparkisagoodplace“这个公园是一个好地方”，这是主谓宾结构，torelax“去放松”，作后置定语，afterahardday’swork“一天辛苦工作后”，作状语。故填Withmanybeautifulflowersandgreentreesaround,thisparkisagoodplacetorelaxafterahardday’swork.12、whenever【解析】【详解】句意：无论何时你需要，你都可以寻求帮助。结合句意和所给中文提示可知，“无论何时”的英文表达是“whenever”。故填whenever。13、Wealsoplantdifferentvegetables【解析】【详解】根据所给标点符号可知，本句是陈述句。we作主语；plant作谓语；differentvegetables作宾语。also位于句中。故填Wealsoplantdifferentvegetables“我们也种植不同的蔬菜”。14、held【解析】【详解】句意：2023年国际足联女子世界杯在今年七月将在澳大利亚和新西兰举行。hold“举行”，动词，和主语之间是被动关系，结合willbe可知此处是一般将来时的被动语态，动词用过去分词。故填held。15、①.wonders②.if##whether【解析】【详解】想知道：wonder；根据“are”可知句子用一般现在时，主语是He，谓语动词用单数；是否：if/whether，引导宾语从句。故填wonders；if/whether。三、补全对话（10分）16、1.Anythinghappened/...2.Don’tyoulikerainydays/...3.Whynotlistentomusic/...4.WhatshouldIdo/...5.Letmesee/...【解析】【导语】本文是A和B两人的对话。对话中A看到B不开心，问其缘故并帮其想办法高兴起来。【1题详解】根据“Youlookupset”和“Nothingmuch”可知此处应是问发生了什么事，故填Anythinghappened/...。【2题详解】根据“Rainydaysmakemefeelsad.”可知此处应是A在确定B是因为雨天不开心，故填Don’tyoulikerainydays/...。【3题详解】根据“Itmaymakeyoufeelrelaxed.”和“Idon’tlikelisteningtomusic”可知此处应是给对方提出听音乐的建议，注意用问句，故填Whynotlistentomusic/...。【4题详解】根据“Youshouldtrysomethingyoulike”可知此处应是向对方征求建议“应该做些什么”，故填WhatshouldIdo/...。【5题详解】根据“Allright”和“Ilikereadingalot.”可知此处应是说想想，故填Letmesee/...。四、阅读理解（40分）17、1.B2.B3.A【解析】【导语】本文分别介绍了Tom、Lily和Mike最喜欢的故事。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据Tom一栏中的“IenjoyCarla’sSandwichbest.”可知，汤姆最喜欢的故事是“卡拉的三明治”。故选B。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Lily一栏中的“OnedaySonnymeetsJack,ajazzmusician.”可知，Jack是一名音乐家。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据Mike一栏中的“MarceniaLyleisinterestedinbaseball.”可知，MarceniaLyle对棒球感兴趣。故选A。18、1.A2.A3.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在美国期间，因为未仔细辨认对方所说的话语而给出了错误的回应，所以作者吃一堑长一智，以后遇到相似情况能做到认真倾听，仔细辨认。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“InthefamilytherewereMr.BrownandMrs.Brownandtheirthreelittlekids.”可知，此家庭成员有Mr.Brown和Mrs.Brown以及他们的三个孩子。因此一共有五口人。故选A。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据“Itoldhimthetimeandstartedlaughingatmyself.”可知，作者最终告诉了Mr.Brown时间，因此Mr.Brown实际上是想知道时间。故选A。【3题详解】词句猜测题。根据“ThenIcangivetherightanswer.”并结合作者的经历可知，为了能够给出正确答案，现在作者会仔细辨认对方所说的是什么，因此画线词应意为“认真的，仔细的”，与careful意思相近。故选B。19、1.C2.A3.C4.C5.A【解析】【导语】本文主要介绍了工作时闲聊的重要性以及相关的建议。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Thesequestionsandtheanswerstothemareexamplesof‘smalltalk’—theshort,friendlyconversationsthatpeoplehavewithfriendsandparents.”可知作者在文章开头举了一些例子来引入话题。故选C。【2题详解】段落大意题。通读第二段可知这一段主要讲为什么有些人不闲聊。故选A。【3题详解】观点态度题。根据“PeterHarper,amanagerattheApexCompanyintheUSA,says,‘Wealwayslookforfriendlyworkerswhoknowhowtocommunicatewitheachotherandwithourcustomers.’”可知PeterHarper可能会同意如果一个人善于沟通他就能成为一名优秀的员工。故选C。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据“Youcantalkaboutsafetopicsuchastheweather,sports,hobbies,TVprogramsandfamouspeoplelikemoviestars,singers,etc.”可知“你最喜欢的演员是谁？”可以作为闲聊的话题。故选C。【5题详解】篇章结构题。第一段引入话题；第二段讲述了为什么有些人不闲聊；第三段介绍了闲聊的重要性。第四、五段介绍了闲聊的技巧。故选A。20、1.C2.B3.C4.A【解析】【导语】本文描述了发生在一家饭店的故事。热心的老板为了让一位老人喝上一碗牛肉汤，编造了一个善意的谎言，演绎出了老板以及这对祖孙之间善良的人性之美。【1题详解】推理判断题。通读第二段可知，这位奶奶假装自己吃过饭了，把牛肉汤留给孙子喝，自己缺吃萝卜泡菜，由此可以看出这位奶奶很爱自己的小孙子，故选C。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据“Seeingthis,thebosswentovertothemandsaid,‘Oldlady,congratulations,youareluckytohavethefreefood,foryouareour100thguest.’”及下文描述可知，老板说的免费的食物是老板骗老奶奶的一句话，他这样说只是为了让这个老人安心的吃上一碗牛肉汤。由此可以看出老板是热心的。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据“‘Grandma,
