参考答案一、单项选择（共10小题，满分20分）1、B【解析】【详解】句意：——你的表弟在哪里？——他已经出国了。他直到下个月才回来。考查动词时态。根据“Hewon’tcomebackuntilnextmonth.”可知，强调已经发生的动作对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时的结构，排除C和D选项。hasbeen去过某地（现已回来）；hasgone去了某地（还未回来）。根据“Hewon’tcomebackuntilnextmonth”可知，现在还没回来，所以此空应填hasgone，故选B。2、C【解析】【详解】句意：一年有四个季节，分为十二个月。考查一般现在时被动语态。分析句子可知，主语it(ayear)和其谓语动词divide之间是被动关系，且题干表述的是客观情况，因此空格处应用一般现在时态的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are+动词过去分词”，主语为it，be动词用is，故选C。3、B【解析】【详解】句意：在春节联欢晚会上，一到十二点大家就喊“新年快乐”。考查连词辨析。if如果；assoonas一……就……；though尽管。根据“everyoneshouts‘HappyNewYear’...itistwelveo’clock”和逻辑关系可知，应是一到十二点就喊“新年快乐”，这里应该为assoonas引导的时间状语从句。故选B。4、B【解析】【详解】句意：对许多家庭来说，除夕夜包饺子是一项重要的活动，尤其是在中国北方。考查副词辨析。suddenly突然；especially尤其是；heavily沉重地；differently不同地。根据“Makingdumplingsisanimportantactivityformanyfamilies...inNorthernChina”可知，此处表达除夕夜包饺子是一项重要的活动，尤其是在中国北方。故选B。5、D【解析】【详解】句意：比赛将在九月举行。许多学生想成为志愿者。考查动词短语。putoff推迟；giveup放弃；holdon坚持住；takeplace举行。根据“Thegamewill...inSeptember”可知是指举行比赛，故选D。6、B【解析】【详解】句意：——我所有的同学都在认真做功课，以便他们能在即将到来的期末考试中取得好成绩。——是的。我们也需要尽最大努力。考查副词辨析。quickly快速地；carefully认真地；easily容易地。根据“doingtheirlessons...inorderthattheycanperformwellinthecomingfinalexam”可知，要想取得好成绩则要认真做功课，故选B。7、D【解析】【详解】句意：没有人想和我们一起去，所以我们自己去了那里。考查代词辨析。we主格，我们；us宾格，我们；ours名词性物主代词，我们的；ourselves反身代词，我们自己。根据“Nobodywantedtocomewithus”可知，我们自己去了那里。考查短语byoneself，空格处填入反身代词。故选D。8、B【解析】【详解】句意：——妈妈，我长大后一定要像你一样当老师吗？——不，你不需要。你可以自己做决定。考查名词辨析。development发展；decision决定；difference差异；achievement成就。根据“mustIbeateacherlikeyouwhenIgrowup?”可知，此处在讨论长大后做什么，是对未来的决定，此处考查短语makeone’sowndecision“某人自己做决定”。故选B。9、B【解析】【详解】句意：在他们学校，每个学生都可以选择加入一个俱乐部，所以大约有五百名学生加入了体育俱乐部。考查数词的用法。表示确切的数量，要用基数词+hundred的单数形式；表示概数，用hundred的复数形式+of。空前five是基数词，故此空应填数词的单数形式。故选B。10、D【解析】【详解】句意：对不起，我犯了一个错误。请允许我改正。考查时态。根据“Pleaseallowmetocorrect(改正)it.”可知此处表示过去的动作对现在的影响，用现在完成时have/hasdone。故选D。二、完形填空（10分）11、1.C2.D3.A4.A5.D6.B7.A8.A9.B10.A【解析】【导语】本文主要讲了Marcy作为市长的一天。【1题详解】句意：她是学校市长日竞赛的获胜者。host主人；guest客人；winner获胜者；manager经理。根据“Foroneday,shewouldbethemayorofhercity.”可知是市长日比赛的获胜者。故选C。【2题详解】句意：我现在要去海滩。countryside乡下；company公司；playground操场；beach海滩。根据“Tohersurprise,hewasholdingabeachball.”可知要去海滩。故选D。【3题详解】句意：克拉克先生带玛西去了新的市立图书馆，它将于今天对公众开放。new新的；big大的；small小的；secret秘密的。根据“whichwasgoingtoopentothepublictoday”可知今天对公众开放，由此可知是新图书馆。故选A。【4题详解】句意：当人群鼓掌时，克拉克先生看了看表。watch手表；wallet钱包；office办公室；handbag手提包。根据“YouhaveameetingintenminuteswiththepresidentoftheTerrificToyCompany.”可知此处要看时间。故选A。【5题详解】句意：很多人都可以在里面工作。play玩耍；study学习；visit拜访；work工作。根据“wewillprovidelotsofjobsforthepeople”可知人们可以工厂里工作。故选D。【6题详解】句意：我向你保证，我们将为人们提供大量的就业机会，明天就开始在这里建造我们的工厂。introduce介绍；promise保证；advise建议；understand明白。根据“wewillprovidelotsofjobsforthepeopleandstartbuildingourfactoryheretomorrow”可知这是对市长的承诺。故选B。【7题详解】句意：在会议上，市议会主席看起来很担心。worried担忧的；shy害羞的；wise聪明的；glad高兴的。根据“‘Theplaygroundequipmentatthecityparkneedsfreshpaint,’shesaid.‘Theparkneedsnewflowers.Butwehavenomoneyformoreworkers.’”可知没有钱请工人给操场上的设备刷漆，市议会主席很担忧。故选A。【8题详解】句意：在他们帮助完成工作后，他们将得到免费的冰淇淋。get得到；sell卖出；buy买；order命令。根据“Aftertheyhelpfinishthework,theywill...freeicecream.”可知能获得免费冰淇淋。故选A。【9题详解】句意：五点半，克拉克先生感谢玛西的辛勤工作。paid支付；thanked感谢；helped帮助；challenged挑战。根据“becauseofherhardwork”可知要感谢玛西的努力工作。故选B。【10题详解】句意：“也许我会的，”她自信地说。confidently自信地；quietly安静地；suddenly突然；correctly正确地。根据上文可知玛西体验了一天市长的工作，对自己应是有信心的。故选A。三、完成句子（共5小题，满分10分）12、achieve【解析】【详解】句意：我们相信通过我们的努力，我们可以在未来实现我们的梦想。根据音标提示可知，该单词为achieve“实现”，情态动词can后跟动词原形。故填achieve。13、Themountainisverybigandhigh.【解析】【详解】根据所给标点可知应用陈述句的形式，themountain作主语，is是系动词，verybigandhigh作表语。故填Themountainisverybigandhigh“这座山又大又高”。14、(i)nvention【解析】【详解】句意：电话是世界上一项重要的发明。根据“Thetelephoneisanimportanti…”可知，电话是世界上一项重要的发明，invention“发明”符合题意。根据空前的“an”可知，此处可数名词用单数。故填(i)nvention。15、①.bemorepatient②.carryon【解析】【详解】由英汉对照可知，空格处填“对……多一些耐心”和“继续开展”，bepatientwithsb.“对……更有耐心”，固定短语，patient的比较级是morepatient，句子是祈使句，以动词原形开头；carryonwithsth.“继续做某事”，letsb.dosth.“让某人做某事”。故填bemorepatient；carryon。16、general【解析】【详解】句意：她的爷爷生病住院了，但总体情况还不错。根据语境和中文提示可知，名词situation前需填形容词，作定语，形容词general“总的”。故填general。四、阅读理解（40分）17、1.C2.B3.D4.D5.D【解析】【导语】本文主要讲述了WoodyFaircloth和他的女儿Luna建立了一个叫做“紧急房车”的非盈利组织，为在加州山火中失去家园的家庭提供安全的住所。现在他们的服务对象很多是那些为了救火而失去自己家园的消防员。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“they’vehelpedpeoplewho’velosttheirhomesinCalifornia’slatestwildfires.”和第二段“TheideaofWoodyFaircloth,EmergencyRVOrganizationconnectspeoplewhoarewillingtodonatetheirRVstothoseinneed.”可知，紧急房车组织一开始是为野火受害者提供住房。故选C。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Fairclothfirstgottheideafortheorganizationin2018.Likemanythatyear,thefatherwastouchedbythenewsofCalifornia’sdeadlyCampFirethatburnthundredsofhomesduringThanksgivingweek.”可知，营火烧毁了数百所房屋消息令这位父亲深受感动，所以建立了这个组织。故选B。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据“AllthepeoplethinkwhatFairclothdidwillmakeadifferencetothoseinneed.It’shopedthatthesedonationscanhelpmorepeople.”可知，所有人希望这些捐款能够帮助到更多的人，所以Faircloth的行为是充满希望的。故选D。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“OnesuchmanisGeorgeWolley,wholosthisownhomeintheDixieFireonAugust4th.”可知，这是举的一个房车接收的例子。故选D。【5题详解】篇章结构题。通读文章可知，第一段是通过旅行房车引出下文；第二、三、四段是Faircloth成立紧急房车组织的理念、缘由及发起活动；第五段是接收房屋的人群；第六段是Faircloth的感受。故选D。18、1.D2.B3.D4.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇关于章鱼的研究报告，介绍了章鱼的投掷行为。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Inthevideo,theanimalsusedtheireightarmstocollectdirt（淤泥）.”可知，这些动物用八只手臂收集泥土，是八爪鱼。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第
