1．—Look at the performer playing the guitar upside down on the stage. Is it Jim?
—It ________ be him. He told me he would surprise us.
A．mustn’t B．can’t C．must D．may
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——看这位演员在舞台上倒立着弹吉他。是吉姆吗？ ——一定是他。他告诉过我他会给我们惊喜。
考查情态动词表推测。mustn’t禁止，不得；can’t不可能，不会；must一定；may也许。根据“He told me he would surprise us.”可知，吉姆曾说过他会这样做，所以表演者就是吉姆的可能性是非常大的。故选C。
2．Some people think they may keep them to themselves ________ they have problems.
A．though B．so C．if D．until
【答案】C
【详解】句意：有些人认为，如果他们有问题，他们可能会保守秘密。
考查连词辨析。though尽管；so所以；if如果；until直到。根据“Some people think they may keep them to themselves...they have problems.”可知前后是条件关系，表示“如果有问题，可能会保守秘密”，故选C。
3．Let’s keep thin ________ exercise. It’s healthy for the mind and the body.
A．over B．by C．across D．through
【答案】D
【详解】句意：让我们通过运动保持苗条。这对身心都有好处。
考查介词辨析。over超过；by通过，强调方式和手段；across穿过；through通过，强调过程、流程或步骤。根据“Let’s keep thin”和“exercise”可知，是通过运动保持苗条，此处强调整个过程，故应用through。故选D。
4．—Mrs. Green is always making her classes lively and energetic.

A．success B．regard C．love D．welcome
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——格林老师总是使她的课生动而充满活力。——这就是为什么她如此受欢迎，学生们都很尊敬她。
考查名词辨析。success成功；regard尊敬；love爱；welcome欢迎。have high regard for sb “尊敬某人”，固定短语，其余选项与题干搭配不当。故选B。
5．We should prevent air pollution ________ a happier life.
A．from living B．for living C．to live D．living
【答案】C
【详解】句意：为了过上更幸福的生活，我们应该防止空气污染。
考查动词不定式表目的。from living从生活；for living为了生存；to live为了过上；living生活。根据“We should prevent air pollution…a happier life.”可知，本题考查动词不定式to do表目的的用法。此处用动词不定式“to live”来表示“prevent air pollution”的目的。故选C。
6．—Because of COVID-19, the international trade drops a lot.
—Yes. These days our managers are discussing ___________ new markets in Far East to improve the situation.

【答案】B

考查疑问词辨析和动词短语。what什么；how怎样；open up打开，开放；put up张贴。根据“discussing...new markets in Far East”可知，是讨论开拓新市场的方式，第一空用疑问副词how，第二空用open up。故选B。
7．Keep calm and carry on with your life. If you can’t forgive him, you can just end your relationship.
A．carrying out B．go on C．continue D．put an end to
【答案】C
【详解】句意：保持冷静，继续你的生活。如果你不能原谅他，你可以结束你们的关系。
考查动词以及动词短语辨析。carrying out执行；go on继续；continue继续；put an end to结束。原句划线部分是一个动词原形，排除A选项。carry on表示“继续”，排除D选项，go on with意为“继续做原来没有做完的事情”，与句意不符，排除B选项。continue “表示继续维持某一情况时，其后可直接跟名词作宾语，也可先接介词with 再接宾语。”，符合句意，故选C。
8．Though Bill is very young, he has a lot of ________ about Chinese history.
A．expressions B．knowledge C．attention D．experience
【答案】B
【详解】句意：虽然比尔很年轻，但他对中国历史有很多知识。
考查名词辨析。expressions表情；knowledge知识；attention注意力；experience经验。根据“Though Bill is very young, he has a lot of … about Chinese history”可知，后半句的句意与前半句是转折的关系，尽管年轻，但是对于中国历史已经有很多的知识，故选B。

— ________. His mother really has difficulty ________ food for him.
A．is he; No; cooking B．is he; Yes; to cook C．do I; No; cooking D．isn’t he; No; cook
【答案】A
【详解】句意：—— 我认为Tom对他妈妈做的食物不满意，是吗？—— 是的，他不满意。他妈妈为他做饭真的有困难。
考查反意疑问句和固定搭配。根据“I don’t think Tom is pleased with the food cooked by his mother”可知，是一个否定前移的句子，因此反意疑问句要看宾语从句，第一空is he符合句意；再者根据“His mother really has difficulty...food for him.”可知，Tom不满意他妈妈做的食物，因此第二空No符合句意；结合固定搭配“have difficulty doing sth.”，第三空cooking符合句意。故选A。

But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain (帘子) she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!

Bob Bear was the richest animal in the forest but he was very mean. He never shared. When his poorer neighbours came to his house and asked for food, he shouted. “Go away! It’s MY food!”
One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party. Bob was not invited but he saw Sally’s friends give her a lot of nice presents. “I’d like some presents,” thought Bob, so he decided to have a party. He went to a shop. “I need some party food,” he told the shopkeeper. “How much is a large brunch of bananas?”
“It’s twenty—five dollars fifty.” she said. Bob was surprised. “That’s too expensive. How much is a bottle of honey?”
“A bottle of honey is twenty—eight dollars thirty,” said the shopkeeper. “A bottle of honey is more expensive.” Bob held up his paw. “I want the cheapest food,” he said. The shopkeeper gave him two black bananas and a small packet of cookies. “Good! These are cheap.” Bob smiled. “They only cost eleven dollars thirty.”
At the party Bob opened his presents——a bag of apples, five cans of orange juice. “These are not birthday presents!” he shouted angrily.
“We know you don’t like sharing so we were afraid there wouldn’t be enough food. That’s why we brought food,” said Fred Fox. “We are happy to share all we have with you because we want to be friends.” Bob’s face went red. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Let’s share this lovely food together, my friends.” From then on, Bob was never mean again.

31．推理判断题。根据狐狸Fred的解释“We know you don’t like sharing so we were afraid there wouldn’t be enough food.”可知，动物们都带食物来，是因为大家都知道Bob不爱分享，担心食物不够吃，结合“I’m sorry,”可推知Bob听完解释之后，意识到自己错了，所以脸变红了。故选B。
32．推理判断题。根据“One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party.”可知，小松鼠Sally举行了生日派对之后Bob也有了举办派对的想法，因此b排第一位；根据“so he decided to have a party.”可知，Bob决定举办一个派对，因此a排第二位；根据“He went to a shop.”可知，决定举办派对后，Bob去购物，因此d排第三位；根据“From then on, Bob was never mean again.”可知，Bob得到了教训，不再小气了，因此c排第四位。故选B。

C
Once, a circle (圆环) broke. It missed a small part of itself. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around and looked for its missing piece. But, because it wasn’t complete, it could roll (滚动) only very slowly. It smelled the flowers along the way. It talked with the worms (虫子). It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different parts, but none of them fit. It left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.
One day, the circle found a perfect piece. It was so happy. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It fixed itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, but too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the worms. The circle missed the flowers and the worms. It left its perfect piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
Perhaps we are more whole when we are missing something. In some ways, a man who has everything is a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. He will never know the experience of finding something he has always wanted and never had.
34．At first, the circle rolled very slowly because it ________.
A．wanted to smell the flowers
B．was too small to roll quickly
C．got broken and wasn’t whole anymore
35．With the perfect piece on, the circle found that ________.
A．it rolled more slowly
B．the worms didn’t want to talk to it
C．it couldn’t enjoy life any more
36．Which is the right order according to the passage?
① The circle talked to some worms.
② It rolled too fast to see the flowers.
③ A circle got broken one day.
④ It began to look for its missing part.
A．③④①② B．③①④② C．④①②③
37．What can we learn from the story?
A．Being broken is worse than being perfect.
B．Being broken is another kind of beauty.
C．There is nothing perfect in the world.
【答案】34．C    35．C    36．A    37．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲一个圆环丢失了自己的一部分，在找回全部后，它发现反而因为太快而错过了许多更美好的东西。
34．细节理解题。根据“Once, a circle (圆环) broke. It missed a small part of itself.”可知，从前有一个坏了的圆环，它失去了自己的一小部分。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据“Now that it was a perfect circle…missed the flowers and the worms.”可知，圆环再一次圆满后，却因为滚动的太快而注意不到花儿还有和虫子聊天了，可推测出它无法再享受生活。故选C。
36．细节理解题。根据“Once, a circle (圆环) broke.”“The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around and looked for its missing piece.”“It talked with the worms (虫子). ”“…it could roll very fast, but too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the worms.”可知，正确的顺序是圆环坏了，然后它想变得完整，于是开始寻找它丢失的部分。寻找的路上它和虫子交谈，找到了完美的部分后，它再一次完美，但是因为转的太快而不能和虫子交谈了。故选A。
37．主旨大意题。根据“Perhaps we are more whole when we are missing something.”可知，也许失去一部分我们会更加完整。文中圆环的故事告诉我们太完美也许会错过生活中的美好，所以有时候残缺也是另一种美。故选B。
D
Once, there lived a hen who had five chicks. She also had three friends: a duck, a cat and a dog. They all lived happily together.
One day, the hen found a wheat seed (小麦种子). “Hey, who wants to help me plant this seed?” she asked.
“Not me.” the duck said. “Nor can I.” the cat said. “I’m afraid not.” the dog said.
“All right. I will do it by myself.” the hen said. She planted the seed and watered it. Wow! It grew quickly and yielded lots of wheat. “Hi! Who wants to help me harvest the wheat?” the hen asked.
“Not me.” the duck said. “Nor can I.” the cat said. “I’m afraid not. “the dog said.
“Fine. I will do it by myself.” the hen said. She worked all day long. By evening, she had two big bags full of wheat.
“Hello friends! Who wants to help me grind (磨碎) this wheat?” she asked. Once again, all three of her friends refused.
“I see that I will have to grind this by myself. I will make flour (面粉) and bake bread!”she said. The next day she baked delicious bread.
“Hello! Who would like to eat some bread with me? “she asked.
“I want to!” the duck said. “Me too! “the cat said. “I’d like some as well.” the dog said.

【分析】本文讲述了母鸡有三个好朋友，当母鸡种麦子、收割麦子和磨麦子，做面粉请朋友帮助时，她的朋友都拒绝了，母鸡做好面，它们想吃，母鸡对它们说：“你们都不能吃！我在田里辛勤劳作，而你们却在家里。”
38．推理判断题。根据第三段“who wants to help me plant this seed?” she asked.“Not me.” the duck said. “Nor can I.” the cat said. “I’m afraid not.” the dog said.”和第十段““I want to!” the duck said. “Me too! “the cat said. “I’d like some as well.” the dog said.”可知，母鸡请求朋友帮忙时，她的朋友都拒绝了，当有吃的时候，她们不拒绝吃，由此可知，母鸡的朋友们拒绝帮她播种，可能是因为它们不想工作。故选B。
39．词意猜测题。根据“Wow! It grew quickly and… lots of wheat. “Hi! Who wants to help me harvest the wheat?” the hen asked.”可知小麦生长的很快，母鸡要求帮忙收割小麦，由此可以推断“yielded”是“生产”意思，故选A。
40．推理判断题。根据最后一段““None of you can have a bite! I worked hard in the field and you were at home.” the hen replied.”可知母鸡生气了，不让她的朋友吃她的面包，由此可知，那天母鸡和她的小鸡美餐一顿。故选A。

四、阅读回答问题
阅读下文并回答问题。
There’s a story about the California gold rush （淘金热） that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting（勘探）for gold. They discovered a vein of gold（矿石脉）, bought it, and continued to get down to the serious business of getting the gold out of the mine. All they hoped was to make lots of money and change their lives.
All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold disappeared! They tried hard but they couldn’t find any gold.
Finally, they gave up sadly. They sold their tools and rights to dig the mine（矿山）for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Later a man named Tim who bought the gold mine ordered an engineer to examine（检查）the mine carefully. The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off. To his surprise, the new owner found gold at three feet deeper of the same place. With a little more patience, the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves.
It is also true for us. Sometimes we can’t make it just because we are not patient enough. As a result, even though we are so close to success, we just missed the opportunity. Do you need to dig three feet farther in your life?
42．Did the two brothers go on digging the mine when they found the vein of gold disappeared?
_______________________________________________________________________________
43．Why did the two brothers sell all they had and go prospecting for gold?
_______________________________________________________________________________
44．How did the new owner find the gold finally?
_______________________________________________________________________________
45．Looking back at your own life, do you think it’s wise to give up when you can’t see any hope? Why or why not?
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
42．Yes, they did.    
43．Because they wanted to make lots of money and change their lives.    
44．By continuing digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off.    
45．No, I don’t. Because it is believed that to persevere means victory and that the moment before dawn is the darkest.
【分析】本文讲述了在美国淘金热潮中的两兄弟，因缺乏耐心而丧失巨大财富的故事；告诉我们可能有时我们距离成功可能就是一步之遥，我们只需要一点点坚持就会取得成功的道理。
42．根据“All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold disappeared! They tried hard but they couldn’t find any gold”可知在金脉消失后他们继续挖过，故填Yes, they did.
43．根据“All they hoped was to make lots of money and change their lives”可知他们所做的一切，就是想赚更多的钱改变生活，故填Because they wanted to make lots of money and change their lives.
44．根据“The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off. To his surprise, the new owner found gold at three feet deeper of the same place”可知，新主人是沿着两兄弟原来的方向挖掘而发现了金子，故填By continuing digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off.

【导语】本文主要讲述了一匹马在战士们精心的照顾下变得很强壮，也可以在战争中发挥优势。战争结束后，战士们就不像以前那样照顾这匹马，待战争再一次爆发，战士又想骑着这匹马时，这匹马告诉主人它已经不是以前那匹强壮的马了。
51．句意：他给它吃最好的草，喝最干净的水。and连接两个并列关系，根据“the best grass”可知，此空也应填形容词最高级，且形容词最高级前要有the，故填the cleanest。
52．句意：他保持它的外套干净，在寒冷的夜晚给它盖上温暖的被子。“cold nights”是指在寒冷的夜晚，前应加上时间介词on，故填on。
53．句意：然而，士兵在战后改变了。第一段所描述的内容与第二段开头“the soldier changed after the war. He made the horse live in a small and cold stable”是转折关系，且空格后有逗号隔开，应填副词however表示“然而”，故填However。
54．句意：这个士兵让这匹马在他的农场里辛苦地干活，每天驮着沉重的东西。此空作伴随状语，应填一个现在分词，故填carrying。
55．句意：士兵拿出武器，准备参加战斗。prepare to do sth“准备去做某事”，动词不定式作宾语，故填to join。
56．句意：他把一个皮马鞍放在它的背上，骑在上面。根据“rode”可知，句子是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填laid。
57．句意：然后，它的细腿开始慢慢地跪在地上。此空修饰动词kneel down，要用副词，故填gradually。
58．句意：马向士兵投去悲伤的一瞥。of后接名词，sad对应的名词是sadness，故填sadness。
59．句意：你让我像大象一样干活，却像喂羊一样喂我。此处表示“像一头大象”，elephant是以元音音素开头的，故填an。
60．句意：我不再是你曾经帮助我成为的那匹强壮的马。动词help后接人称代词宾格作宾语，故填me。
七、用所给单词的正确形式填空
61．Eternal Love(《三生三世十里桃花》), a popular Chinese web novel, _________ (translate) into English and been popular among foreigners.
【答案】has been translated
【详解】句意：中国流行的网络小说《三生三世十里桃花》已被翻译成英文，深受外国人欢迎。And是并列连词，前后连接的两个动词时态应保持一致，根据句中and后面的动词been，可知此句时态是现在完成时，结合句意可知此句是现在完成时的被动语态，其构成has/have been +动词的过去分词，主语Eternal Love是第三人称单数，故用has，结合所给词可知答案是has been translated。故填has been translated。
62．I am sorry I can’t lend the book to you because Tom ________ (not return) it.
【答案】hasn’t returned
【详解】句意：很抱歉我不能把那本书借给你，因为汤姆还没有归还。根据所给提示词，可知此处表达“因为汤姆过去未归还书，对现在的影响是我无法借书给你”，对应的时态是现在完成时have/has done，表示“过去的动作对现在的影响”，主语Tom是单数。故填hasn’t returned。

64．He spent as much time as he could ________（read）books about culture.
【答案】reading

【答案】knowledge
【详解】句意：参加这次活动后，他意识到知识和技术的力量。know“知道”；分析句子可知，and连接两个并列的名词，根据题干“the power of…and technology”，可知是说知识技术的重要性，结合单词提示，不可数名词knowledge“知识”符合语境，故填knowledge。
66．The plane__________ (remain) on the ground because of the bad weather yesterday.
【答案】remained

68．You will realize how much danger they ___________ (face).
【答案】are facing
【详解】句意：你将要意识到他们正面临着多少危险。此处表示他们现在面临的危险，故用现在进行时，主语they是复数形式，故谓语用复数形式，故为are facing。

八、完成句子
71．我必须阻止我的妹妹花费过多时间看视频。
I must ________ my younger sister ________ ________ too much time ________ videos.
【答案】     stop##prevent##keep     from     spending     on##watching
【详解】根据语境及中英文对照可知，本题考查短语stop/prevent/keep sb from doing“阻止某人做某事”和短语spend time on sth或spend time in doing sth“花时间做某事”，其中spend time in doing sth中的in可省略。第一空，情态动词must后跟动词原形，所以应填stop/prevent/keep；第二空，固定短语stop/prevent/keep sb from doing中的from；第三空，应填spend“花费”，因位于from之后，用动名词形式spending；第四空，应填spend time on sth中的on，或者短语spend time in doing sth中的in省略，用watch“观看”的动名词形式watching，作in的宾语。故填stop/prevent/keep；from；spending；on/watching。
72．当我们做眼保健操时，我们必须使眼睛闭合。
When we ________, we ________ our eyes ________.
【答案】     do eye exercises     must keep     closed
【详解】根据汉语可知，“做眼保健操”英文为“do eye exercises”，主语“We”是复数，时态是一般现在时，因此do用原形；“必须”英文为“must”，情态动词后跟动词原形；keep sb./sth.+adj. 意为“使某人/物保持某种状态”，“闭合”为形容词closed。故填do eye exercises；must keep；closed。
73．—你曾经梦想过没有护照去环游世界吗？
—是的。你可以通过在线旅行实现你的梦想。
—Have you ever ________________?
—Yes. You can ________________.
【答案】     dreamed of travelling around the world without passports     realize your dream by taking an online tour
【详解】dream of doing sth“梦想做某事”；travel around the world“环游世界”；without passports“没有护照”；have与过去分词构成现在完成时结构，故dream要用过去分词dreamed。realize your dream“实现你的梦想”，情态动词can后接动词原形；by“通过”，介词，后接动名词；take an online tour“在线旅行”，故填dreamed of travelling around the world without passports；realize your dream by taking an online tour。
74．他辍学之后想方设法找书读。
He tried every means __________ find books _________ ________ after ________ _________ of school.
【答案】     to     to     read     dropping     out
【详解】try every means to do sth.“想方设法做某事”；drop out“辍学”，都是固定短语。after“……之后”是介词，后接动名词；分析句子结构，本句用不定式“to read”表目的；结合中英文对照，故填to；to；read；dropping；out。
75．到目前为止，这次的教育交流活动对我来说是一次极好的经历。
The educational exchange ________ ________ a fantastic experience for me ________ ________.
【答案】     has     been     so     far
【详解】根据“The educational exchange...a fantastic experience”和句意可知，此处缺少be动词作谓语，so far“到目前为止”，是现在完成时的标志词，所以谓语动词用has/have been，主语是“The educational exchange”，助动词用has。故填has；been；so；far。
76．到目前为止，经理仍未做出决定，我们不得不等待。
_____, so we have to wait.
【答案】So far the manager has not decided yet##So far the manager has not made a decision yet
【详解】根据中英文对照，此处缺少“到目前为止，经理仍未做出决定”；到目前为止：so far；经理：manager；决定：decide或make a decision；还，仍然：yet；根据后句“so we have to wait.”可知我们不得不等待，可见经理未做出决定对现在造成了影响，所以主句时态用现在完成时，结构是：have/has+done，否定形式：have/has not+done；因主语是单数，所以用has，且句首字母要大写。故填So far the manager has not decided yet/So far the manager has not made a decision yet。

The old man said: “It may be a good thing!” After a few months, the horse led several horses back. When the old man’s son rode a horse, he fell off and broke his leg. Many people felt bad for the old man. But he said it might be a good thing. After a year, a war happened. All the young men took up arms to fight. Most of them died.
