参考答案一、单项选择（共10小题，满分20分）1、D【解析】【详解】句意：——作为一名学生，我们再努力学习也不为过，因为努力工作导致成功。——我同意。考查情态动词。mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必；shouldn’t不应该；can’t不能。can’t...too...“再……也不为过”，是固定搭配。故选D。2、A【解析】【详解】句意：——对不起，我迟到了。——你能告诉我你为什么又迟到了吗？考查宾语从句。根据“Couldyoutellme...”可知，空处应填入宾语从句，应是陈述句语序，而选项B、C和D均为疑问句语序；结合“I’msorryI’mlate.”，此处应是询问迟到的原因，宾语从句应以why来引导。故选A。3、C【解析】【详解】句意：令人难以置信的是，在国际厕所博物馆里有这么多种类的厕所。考查形容词辨析。rapid快速的；stupid愚蠢的；unbelievable难以置信的；safe安全的。根据下文“therearesomanykindsoftoiletsattheInternationalMuseumofToilets”可知，在厕所博物馆看到这么多种厕所是件很令人难以置信的事。故选C。4、C【解析】【详解】句意：我记得那个湖里过去常有很多鱼。现在它已经被污染了。考查therebe句型和一般过去时。根据“Nowithasbeenpolluted.”可知，现在它已经被污染了，所以“there...alotoffishinthelake”应是过去的情况，故用一般过去时，选项A、D错误；“there...alotoffishinthelake”是therebe句型，be动词是谓语动词，所以选项B错误。usedtodo“过去常常做某事”，为一般过去时，thereusedtobe“过去常有”，故选C。5、D【解析】【详解】句意：戴维德波特的理想是去西部（地区），并在那里为贫困儿童建立一所学校。考查动词短语。cleanup打扫干净；lookup向上看，查阅；giveup放弃；setup建立。根据宾语“aschoolforpoorchildren”可知，此处指建立。选D。6、B【解析】【详解】句意：李明在七岁的时候就能说和那些来自美国的人一样好的英语了。考查副词原级。根据“LiMingwasabletospeakEnglish...”可知用副词修饰动词，排除A、C；肯定句中用as...as表示“和……一样……”，这里用aswellas表示“和……一样好”。故选B。7、B【解析】【详解】句意：我们城市的交通比以前好了，但还有很长的路要走。考查形容词的比较级。best最好的；better更好的；worse更糟糕的；worst最糟糕的。根据“butthere’sstillalongwaytogo但还有很长的路要走”可知，交通比以前“更好”。故空格处要填比较级better。故选B。8、D【解析】【分析】【详解】句意：——你觉得Jack把漫画书藏起来很自私吗？——是的。对一个男孩来说学会分享是很重要的。考查it的用法和介词。根据“Itisadj.todosth.”可知，第一空it符合句意；根据“important”可知，修饰的是“learntoshare”这件事，因此用介词for“对……来说”。故选D。9、C【解析】【详解】句意：汤姆没有认真听老师讲课。结果，他考试不及格。考查介词短语。Inaword总而言之；Infact事实上；Asaresult因此。根据“Tomdidn’tlistentotheteachercarefully.”可知，考试不及格是没有认真听老师讲课的后果，故选C。10、D【解析】【详解】句意：上海是中国最大的城市之一。考查形容词最高级。根据“Shanghaiisoneof...inChina.”及结合选项可知，此处表示上海是中国最大的城市之一，可用“oneof+形容词最高级+名词复数”，表示“最……之一”，所以此空应是thebiggestcities。故选D。二、完成句子（共5小题，满分10分）11、DidPetergiveawayhisoldbooks【解析】【详解】根据标点可知该句为疑问句，助动词did放在句首，Peter是主语；giveaway是谓语；hisoldbooks是宾语，故填DidPetergiveawayhisoldbooks“彼得把他的旧书送人了吗”。12、Wewillflykitesifitisfinetomorrow.【解析】【详解】根据图片以及提示词可知，此句表示“如果明天天气好，我们就去放风筝。”，if“如果”，引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”，主句用willdo的结构；flykites“放风筝”；itisfine“天气好”，tomorrow“明天”，故填Wewillflykitesifitisfinetomorrow.13、memories【解析】【详解】句意：很难扔掉旧东西，因为它们会带回美好的回忆。回忆：memory，此处表示泛指用名词复数。故填memories。14、①.It’s②.of③.making##inmaking【解析】【详解】Itisadjofsbtodosth表示“对某人来讲，做某事是……的”；动词短语spendsometime(in)doingsth表示“花时间做某事”，动词make表示“制作”。故填It’s；of；making/inmaking。15、Thousands【解析】【详解】句意：成千上万的游客来看博物馆里的画。thousandsof“成千上万的”，句首首字母大写。故填Thousands。三、补全对话（10分）16、1.Whatwereyoudoing(atthat/thetime)2.What’sthenameofthebook/What’sthebook’sname3.Whatdoyouthinkofit/Howisit/What’sitlike4.Haveyouevertriedanyspecial/deliciousfood5.Howlongisit【解析】【导语】本文是斯特拉和大卫之间的对话。斯特拉询问大卫在北京的生活情况以及他喜欢的东西。【1题详解】根据“Oh,Iwasreadingabook”可知，此处询问对方那时正在做什么，故填Whatwereyoudoing(atthat/thetime)。【2题详解】根据“It’sJourneytothewest.”可知，此处询问那本书的名字是什么，故填What’sthenameofthebook/What’sthebook’sname。【3题详解】根据“Hmm...Ithinkitiscreativeandmeaningful.”可知，此处询问对它的看法或评价，故填Whatdoyouthinkofit/Howisit?/What’sitlike。【4题详解】根据“Yes,Ihave.ItriedBeijing’sspecialfoodBeijingRoastDucklastweek.”可知，此处是一般疑问句，询问是否吃过一些美食，故填Haveyouevertriedanyspecial/deliciousfood。【5题详解】根据“It’sabout8,850kilometerslong.”可知，此处询问它的长度，故填Howlongisit。四、阅读理解（40分）17、1.D2.B3.B4.A5.C【解析】【导语】本文一篇说明文，文章讲述在课堂上认真听老师讲是一种学习的方法，但不是唯一的方法。另一种学习方法就是自学。文章就如何自学提出了一些建议。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Studentssitintheclassroomlisteningtotheteacher.Thisisawayoflearning.Isthistheonlywayforstudentstolearnsomething?Ofcoursenot.”可知，听老师讲不是唯一的一种学习方式。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Therearewaysofteachingyourself.Andifyoudothesethingsforalongtime,youwillbesuretosucceedinyourstudy.”可知，如果你想成功，你最好学会自学。故选B。【3题详解】词句猜测题。根据“ifyoucannotremembersomethingwhenyouaredoingyourhomework,youcanlookthrough(浏览)yourbooktofindtheanswer.”可知，如果你在做家庭作业的时候不能记住某些东西，你可以浏览你的书找到答案，故可推知，teachyourself表示“自学”。故选B。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据“Thesecondisthatyoumustaskyourselfquestions.Manycleverstudentsoftendolikethis.”可知，很多聪明的学生经常问自己问题。故选A。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据“Anditisnotadifficultthing.Wecandothisatanyplaceandatanytime.”以及“Andifyoudothesethingsforalongtime,youwillbesuretosucceedinyourstudy.”可推知，选项C“如果一个学生愿意，他可以学会自学。”表述正确。故选C。18、1.B2.D3.A4.B5.D【解析】【导语】本文是四个人针对“如何提高词汇量”这个帖子发表了自己的看法。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Everyone’svocabularycanbedividedintoactivevocabulary”可知，有两种类型的词汇，故选B。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Inmyopinion,readingistheNo.1waytoimproveyourvocabulary”可知Lucas认为阅读是提高词汇量的首要途径。故选D。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据“Whenyouhearsomeoneuseawordyoudon’tknow,don’tforgettoaskthemwhatitmeans”可知，空处的建议是与“问问题”有关，A选项“问问题是一个很好的方法”符合，故选A。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据“Howtoimproveyourvocabulary”可知，是针对那些想提高词汇量的同学，故选B。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据“June16,202320:16Reading8600”及“Share588Comments92Likes2089”可知，本文来自一个网站，故选D。19、1.D2.A3.B4.B5.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了死亡谷的气候以及生存在这里的动植物。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Itgetslessthantwofeetofrainayearandit’shot,too.”可知，死亡谷一年的降雨量不到两英尺。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Findingwateristhebiggestchallengeforanythingthatliveshere.”可知，在死亡谷最难的事情就是找到水，故选A。【3题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Nothingcanstopplantsandanimalsfrommakingittheirhome.”可知，it应指代前面提到过的事物，且为一个地方。结合前文“AlthoughtheweatherconditioninDeathValleyisterrible,thereisstillfilledwithlives.”可知，it指代的应是DeathValley，故选B。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Theanimalsaren’tallsmall,either.”可知，在死亡谷的动物也不全是小动物，即：死亡谷里有些动物很大。故选B。【5题详解】最佳
