参考答案

一、单项填空（每题0.5分，共3分）

从下面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

1MyfavoriteinventorisWangXuan.storiesinspiremetofollowmydream.

A.HisB.YourC.MyD.Their

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】句意：我最喜欢的发明家是王选，他的故事激励我追随我的梦想。

考查代词辨析。His他的；Your你的；My我的；Their他们的。根据"MyfavoriteinventorisWang

Xuan.…storiesinspiremetofollowmydream."可知，代词His"他的"，指代”王选的故事”，与句子的整

体语境相契合。故选A。

2.1usuallypracticespeakingEnglishwithmyfriendsTuesdayevening.

A.toB.onC.inD.at

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】句意：在星期二晚上我通常和我的朋友们一起练习说英语。

考查介词辨析。to至IJ,通常表示方向或目的；on在，用于表示具体某一天或某一天的上午、下午、晚上；

in在，主要用于表示较长的时间段，如年、月、季节、世纪等，或表示泛指的上午、下午、晚上；at在，

通常用于表示具体的时间点，如几点几分，或表示某些固定短语中的时间。根据“Tuesdayevening”指的

是具体的某一天的晚上。故选B。

3.一Look!LinlinwithanAIrobotoverthere.

一Cool!Lefsgoandjointhem.

A.chatsB.chattedC.ischattingD.waschatting

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】句意：——看！琳琳正在那边与一个AI机器人聊天。——太酷了！让我们去加入他们吧。

考查动词的时态。chats聊天，第三人称单数形式；chatted过去式或过去分词；ischatting现在进行时；was

chatting过去进行时。根据“Look”可知表示正在进行的动作，用现在进行时bedoing。故选C。

4.Peterisinterestedinpainting,hewantstojointheArtClub.

A.orB.soC.butD.for

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】句意：Peter对绘画感兴趣，所以他想加入美术俱乐部。

考查连词辨析。or或者；so所以；but但是；fbr为，给。根据“Peterisinterestedinpainting,...hewantsto

jointheArtChib.”可知，PeterB。

5.ThenovelMobyDickbymoreandmorebookloversnowadays.

A.readB.readsC.isreadD.wasread

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】句意：如今，越来越多的爱书人读《莫比・迪克》这部小说。

考查一般现在时的被动语态。根据"Thenovel”可知，主语和动词read之间为被动关系，因此应用被动语

态；再根据"nowadays”可知，时态应用一般现在时，因此应用一般现在时的被动语态，基本结构为

am/is/are+doneo故选C。

6.一DoyouknowtheTiangongspacestation?

一OnOctober30,2024.

A.whentheShenzhou-19astronautsenteredB.whendidtheShenzhou-19astronautsenter

C.whentheShenzhou-19astronautswillenterD.whenwilltheShenzhou-19astronautsenter

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】句意：——你知道神舟十九号宇航员什么时候进入天宫空间站吗？在2024年10月30日。

考查宾语从句的语序和时态。根据"Doyouknow...theTiangongspacestation?”可知，该句为宾语从句，要

用陈述句语序，选项B和D语序错误；根据回答“OnOctober30,2024”可知，时态为一般过去时，C选项

错误。故选A。

阅读下面的短文，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填入空白处，补全文章。

Inventionsareimportant.Sinceancienttimes,Chineseinventions7(play)animportantroleinpushing

humancivilization(文明)forward.Manypeoplearoundtheworldhaveheardaboutandevenbenefitedfromearly

Chinese8(discovery)inmedicineandengineering.Instudyingtheseinventionsandtechnology,peoplecan

9(journey)throughtimetouncoverthesewonderfulcreations5origins(起源)importance,andlong-lasting

influence,whichcansupportthefuturedevelopment.

【答案】7.haveplayed

8.discoveries

9.journey

【解析】

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代的发明。

【7题详解】

句意:从古代开始，中国发明在推动人类文明向前发展中发挥了重要作用。根据时间状语“Sinceancient

times”可知，句子时态为现在完成时。其结构为：主语+have/has+动词过去分词+其它，主语Chinese

inventions“中国发明”为复数，故空格处应用haveplayedo故填haveplayedo

【8题详解】

句意：世界上许多人听说过，甚至受益于中国早期在医学和工程学上的发现。根据“fromearlyChinese…

（discovery）inmedicineandengineering”可知，此处表示在医学和工程学上的发现，发现不止有一个，所以

应用discovery的复数形式discoverieso故填discoverieso

【9题详解】

句意：人们可以穿越时间，揭示这些奇妙创造的起源的重要性和持久的影响，这可以支持未来的发展。根

据“peoplecan...journeythroughtimetouncoverthesewonderfulcreations?origins（起源）importance,and

long-lastinginfluence,whichcansupportthefuturedevelopment.”可知，此处表示可以穿越时间，情态动词

can后跟动词原形。故填journey。
