B./;a C.an;/ D./;/【答案】C【解析】句意：——主席习近平于2021年底在电视上做了一个激动人心的演讲。——是的。去年我们中国人取得了多么大的进步啊！考查冠词辨析。第一空表示“一个激动人心的演讲”，表泛指，且exciting是以元音音素开头的单词，故第一空填an。第二空后的progress是不可数名词，前不加任何冠词，故选C。2.YuanLongping,thefatherofhybridrice,withtheother41greatpeople,________theMedaloftheRepublic(共和国勋章)byPresidentXiJinpingonSept.17,2019.A.waspresentedwith B.hadpresentedto C.werepresentedto D.haspresentedwith【答案】A【解析】句意：2019年9月17日，国家主席习近平向杂交水稻之父袁隆平和其他41位伟人授予共和国勋章。考查一般过去时的被动语态以及主谓一致。根据“Sept.17,2019”可知，句子用一般过去时，根据“byPresidentXiJinping”可知，此处用一般过去时被动语态was/weredone的结构，with修饰中心词，谓语动词遵循“就远原则”，离谓语动词最远的主语“YuanLongping”是单数形式，助动词用was，故选A。3.ThefilmHi,Mom!directedbyJiaLinisworth________.A.watching B.watch C.towatch D.watches【答案】A【解析】句意：贾玲导演的电影《你好，李焕英！》值得一看。考查非谓语动词。beworthdoingsth“值得做某事”，故选A。4.Idon’tdoubt_______hecanfinishthetask,butIdoubt_______heiswillingtodoit.A.that;that B.if;if C.that;if D.if;that【答案】C【解析】句意：我不怀疑他能完成这项任务，但我怀疑他是否愿意做这件事。连词if引导宾语从句，意思是“是否”，当主句是一般现在时态时，从句可为需要的任意时态。根据语义可知前半句是that引导的宾语从句，从句部分无疑问；后半句有疑问，意为“是否”，有if引导的宾语从句。故选C。5.Alice,couldyoutellme________?A.whethershehadbeenmarried B.what’shappenedtoyouC.howlongLilyhascaughtacold D.howyoucalltheseanimals【答案】B【解析】句意：爱丽丝，你能告诉我发生了什么事吗？考查宾语从句。whethershehadbeenmarried她是否结婚了，指的是一直持续到过去某时的动作；what’shappenedtoyou你发生了什么事，指的是过去某时发生的动作；howlongLilyhadcaughtacold，catch是瞬间动词，不能和howlong搭配使用；howyoucalltheseanimals，how是疑问副词，本句意思是你们叫这些动物什么，故how用法错误。本句中could表示客气的请求，故从句中根据实际情况用某种时态。结合语境可知选项A时态有误，故选B。6.—AudreyHepburn________cancer.—Soshedid.Weallfeltverysadaboutthelossofagreatactress.A.dieof B.diedfrom C.diedof D.deadfrom【答案】C【解析】句意：——奥黛丽·赫本死于癌症。——她确实是。我们都为失去一位伟大的女演员而感到悲伤。考查动词短语。dieof死于（某种内因）；diefrom死于（某种外因）。根据“cancer”可知，死于癌症这种内因，排除B和D选项。根据“did”可知，此处用一般过去时，故选C。7.Learninginourschoolis________experiencethatI'llneverforgetitallmylife.A.soexciting B.suchexcitingC.soanexciting D.suchanexciting【答案】D【解析】句意：在我们学校学习是如此令人激动的一段经历，以至于我这辈子都不会忘记。so意为"如此"，副词，修饰形容词或副词；such意为"如此"，形容词，修饰名词；exciting意为"令人激动的"，experience作"经历"讲时可数名词；so+adj.+a/an+可数名词单数=such+a/an+adj.+可数名词单数，根据题干可知此处用"soexcitinganexperience"或"suchanexcitingexperience"表示"如此激动人心的一次经历"。选项C的结构错误。故选D。8.—HowdoyoulikethebookLittleWomen?—Wonderful.Ithinkitisthebestone________tellsustheimportanceoffamily.A./ B.what C.which D.that【答案】D【解析】句意：——你觉得《小妇人》这本书怎么样？——很好。我认为这是告诉我们家庭的重要性最好的一本书。考查定语从句。此处含定语从句，先行词指书，引导词在从句中作主语，且先行词前有最高级thebest修饰，只能用that。故选D。9.Withoutherglasses,Milliewas________blind.A.aswellas

着耳机听音乐或写作，这些都是可以单独完成的。观察句子，这里考查的是固定搭配，“listento听”，符合句意和语法，故答案填to。六、根据所给中文完成句子(共6小题;每小题15分，满分9分)1.我敲了敲窗户来吸引她的注意，但她没听到。I____________________________________________________________butshedidn’thearit.【答案】knockedonthewindowtocatchherattention##knockedatthewindowtocatchherattention

【解析】根据题干可知缺少“敲了敲窗户来吸引她的注意”，敲窗户英语是“knockon/atthewindow”吸引她的注意“catchherattention”，根据题干可知敲窗的目的是为了吸引她的注意，表示目的，我们可用动词不定式表达，根据题干“butshedidn’thearit.”可知句子时态是一般过去时，knock的过去式knocked。故填knockedonthewindowtocatchherattention/knockedatthewindowtocatchherattention。2.第24届冬季奥运会开幕式于2022年2月4日被现场直播Theopeningceremonyofthe24thWinterOlympicGames__________________________________onFebruary4th,2022.【答案】wascoveredlive【解析】根据中英文对照，需填入“现场直播”的英文表达coverlive；分析句子结构，主语ceremony是动词cover的承受者，需用“bedone”被动语态结构；“onFebruary4th,2022”是过去的时间故填wascoveredlive。3.山姆在这部电影里扮演了一位年轻教师的角色。Sam___________________________________________________________________inthefilm.【答案】playedtheroleofayoungteacher【解析】playtheroleof“扮演…角色”；ayoungteacher“一位年轻教师”。结合语境可知，本句陈述过去的事情，动词需用过去式，故填playedtheroleofayoungteacher。4.人们高度赞扬他在教学领域的巨大成就。People_________________________________________________________________inteaching.【答案】speakhighlyofhisgreatachievements##thinkhighlyofhisgreatachievements##highlypraisehisgreatachievements【解析】speak/thinkhighlyof表示“高度赞扬”；praise“称赞/赞扬”；highly“高度
