1. -Hi, Bruce, will you join us in going camping this weekend?
-________. Jane, but I have promised my mother to do washing and cleaning.
A. Take it easy B. Forget it C. Thanks D. Not at all
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——嗨，布鲁斯，这个周末和我们一起去露营好吗？——谢谢，简，但是我已经答应我妈妈洗衣服和打扫卫生了。A.Take it easy别紧张；B.Forget it别在意；C.Thanks谢谢；D.Not at all别客气。根据“will you join us in going camping this weekend”可知，此处应先感谢对方的邀请。故选C。
2. —Tony _______ what I did annoying though he didn’t say anything.
—So you think you will have to make an apology?
A. could find B. should have found
C. might find D. must have found
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：—Tony一定觉得我做的事很烦人，尽管他什么也没说。—所以你认为你得道歉吗?。由“what I did”可知，此处是对过去事情有把握的推测，must have done“一定是做某事了”。故选D项。
【点睛】情态动词+ have done结构：
1.“must + have + 过去分词”表示对过去发生的事情或状态进行推测,语气比较坚定,通常只用于肯定句.如：It must have rained last night,for the ground is wet.
2.“can / could + have + 过去分词”表示对过去某种情况的怀疑或不确定.can和could一般用于否定句和疑问句,could的语气较can弱.如：He can't have finished the work so soon.
3.“may / might + have + 过去分词”表示对已发生的动作或存在的状态进行不肯定的推测,might的语气比may弱一点.这种结构主要用于肯定句和否定句,疑问句改用can或could.如：They may not have known it beforehand.
4.“need + have + 过去分词”表示过去做了不必做或不需要做的事情,或过去做某事纯属多余.如：I needn't have bought so much wine—only five people came.
5.“should / ought to + have + 过去分词”表示过去本该做某事但没做,其否定式表示过去不该做某事但做了,这种句式含有不满或责备之意,ought to的语气比should强一些.如：
You ought to / should have studied harder.你本应该更努力学习的.（但没有）
He oughtn't to / shouldn't have done that.他本来就不该做那件事.（可是做了）
6.“would ＋ have ＋ 过去分词”表示对过去的某种情况进行猜测,或本来要做某事却因某种原因未做成,通常用来说明某一情况,但不像用should或ought to那样含有责备之意.如：
I guess the poet would have been about twenty when she wrote her first poem.
Another worker wouldn't have acted like that.
分析句子可知，由“what I did”可知，此处是对过去事情有把握的推测，must have done“一定是做某事了”。故选D项。
3. In the face of unfair phenomenon, we should not________ from defending social justice.
A. swallow B. swell C. shrink D. stroke
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：面对不公平的现象，我们不应该逃避维护社会正义。A. swallow吞下；B. swell膨胀，肿胀；C. shrink(尤指因恐惧而)退缩，畏缩，回避；D. stroke划掉。根据“should not”和“from defending social justice”可知，此处是指我们不应该逃避维护社会正义。在情态动词should后应用动词原形。故选C。
4. I wonder when it was_______you came to realize ________his words meant.
A. that; what B. what; that C. what; what D. that; which
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句及宾语从句。句意：我想知道究竟是什么时候你意识到他所说的话的真正意思是什么。本句是一个多重复合句。I wonder后是when引导的强调句式的特殊疑问句，可以复原为“It was (when) that you came to realize…”以协助理解，所以空一用强调句的引导词that；及物动词realize后接宾语从句，该从句中动词meant后的宾语缺失，即空二应填入能充当meant宾语的疑问词来引导宾语从句，结构为meant sth.(what)，故what正确。故选A。
5. After experiments on COVID-19, medical experts conclude that the infected person still has the possibility of survival, ________he or she tests positive twice.
A. as though B. even if C. in case D. so that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意：在对COVID-19进行实验后，医学专家得出结论，受感染者仍然有生存的可能性，即使他或她的检测结果两次呈阳性。A. as though好像；B. even if即使；C. in case以防，万一；D. so that以便于。由“still has the possibility of survival”和“he or she tests positive twice”可知，句子表示“受感染者仍然有生存的可能性，即使他或她的检测结果两次呈阳性”，空格处意为“即使”，用even if引导让步状语从句，故选B。
6. With the advance of technology, the way we make friends and communicate with them has changed________.
A. successfully B. significantly C. seriously D. smoothly
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：随着科技的进步，我们交朋友以及与他们交流的方式已经发生了巨大改变。A. successfully 成功地；B. significantly重大地，巨大地；C. seriously严重地；D. smoothly平稳地。结合句意可知，此处指交友方式以及和他们的交流方式发生了巨大的变化，用significantly“巨大地”符合语境。故选B。
【点睛】
7. --- The Captain is definitely a touching movie, ______ adapted from a true story.
--- Exactly. Captain Liu puts the safety of passengers in the first place.
A. one that B. which C. the one D. one
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意：——《船长》绝对是一部感人的电影，一部改编自真实故事的电影。——没错。刘队长把乘客的安全放在第一位。one可替代前面有不定冠词的可数名词单数，即表示泛指，在词句中代替前面的a touching movie。故选D项。
8. The College Entrance Exam ________until July this year, senior three students will be better prepared.
A. to put off B. having put off C. put off D. being put off
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格。句意：高考推迟到今年7月，高三学生将有更好的准备。分析可知，逗号前部分为独立主格作状语，The College Entrance Exam和put off是逻辑被动关系，且动作已经完成，应用过去分词。故选C。
9. His plans are very ________. He wants to pass CET 4, IELTS and Shanghai Interpretation Test before he enters university.
A. ambitious B. abundant C. abstract D. appropriate
【答案】A
【解析】

10. ________has a good knowledge of physics and history is qualified for the position.
A. No matter who B. Whomever C. Whoever D. Those who
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：凡是精通物理和历史的人都能胜任这个职位。A.no matter who无论谁（引导让步状语从句）B.whomever无论谁（是宾格，不能作主语）；C.whoever无论谁（可以作主语也可以作宾语）；D.those who……的那些人，who引导定语从句，修饰those，谓语动词用复数。分析句子可知，此处为主语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“无论谁”，用连接词whoever引导主语从句，故C项正确。
11. Polluted air does much harm to us, long-time exposure to________can affect our abilities in two areas: language and mathematics.
A. it B. that C. which D. what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：污染的空气对我们危害很大，长期暴露在这样的空气中会影响我们在两个方面的能力：语言和数学。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Polluted air，关系词代替它作介词to的宾语，故应用关系代词which引导从句。故选C。
12. Catherine, ____ the alarm clock for 6 o'clock, or you would oversleep and be late for the train.
A. setting B. sets C. set D. to set
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】
【分析】这题考查祈使句。句意：凯瑟琳，把闹钟定到6点，否则你会睡过头，火车就赶不上了。分析句子并结合句意可知此处为“祈使句+or+陈述句”结构，用动词原形，故选Ｃ。

15. —Peter and I get equal pay for equal work, but he has bought a new Benz again! —Don’t be jealous. Peter is the man who ______.
A. goes with the flow B. makes hay while the sun is shining

【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据The Edinburgh International Book Festival部分的“Beginning in 1983, this is the largest book festival in the world and takes place every year in Charlotte Square Gardens in the center of Edinburgh.(从1983年开始，这是世界上最大的图书节，每年在爱丁堡市中心的夏洛特广场花园举行)”推知，喜欢阅读的Tommy最有可能去Charlotte Square Gardens。故选D。

B
I’d done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, I’d bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.
The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home’s dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family’s temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I’d ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came!” I didn’t know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.
Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair — her grandmother, we’d soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.
By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change. Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room — so much. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before — Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.
Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn’t until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she’d made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls — one much taller than the other — and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart: “Please don’t leave”. Now almost in tears, I couldn’t control myself anymore — I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither of us could let go.
I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too — a greater appreciation for all of the blessings of my life. I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never forget me either.

Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
“Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air - and in our case-water, and we can sequence the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.” says Ryan Kelly, an ecologist at the University of Washington .
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there - looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.” says Caren Goldberg, one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling (潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Mad a gas ear, it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物) diseases.
Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction(灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon.But the old-fashioned fieldwork could soon be more targeted.
46. Environmental DNA can not be used to___________.
A. identify what creatures live in a certain place.
B. make clear when a certain creature disappeared
C. prove the a specific creature exists
D. warn the lack of a specific creature
47. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more___________.
A. time-consuming B. eco-friendly
C. dangerous D. convincing
48. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has___________.
A. succeeded in catching many fishes
B. found the existence of golden treefrogs
C. documented the spread of softshell turtles
D. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho
49. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Robots will replace scientists soon.
B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.
C. The old-fashioned fieldwork may disappear.
D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the fieldwork.
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species Surveys
B. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNA
C. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of Life.
D. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions
【答案】46. B 47. B 48. D 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，告诉我们：在地球上，通过一项名为简称eDNA的新型采样技术，使科普小说正逐渐成为现实。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的内容“Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.”可知eDNA可以被用来确定生活在某个特定区域的物种，对应选项A；还可以被用来证明物种的存在和提醒物种的缺失，对应C和D，题干问的是eDNA不能用在的地方，故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques.”可知，她认为，与传统的调查技术相比，eDNA是一种更有效、更少破坏的获取答案的方法。由此可知，与传统的调查技术相比，eDNA更加环保。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. ”可知Caren Goldberg 使用 eDNA确定了Idaho这个地方豹蚊蛙的灭绝。故选D。

【49题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon， But the old-fashioned fieldwork could soon be more targeted.”内容可知，研究这种技术的科学家表示，他们并不期望自动仪器很快能取代实地考察的生物学家，但这种传统的野外工作很快就会成为目标。由此判断出 传统的野外工作会消失。故选C。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Theexplorersthenusesomekindofhigh-techdevicetotestforbreathableairorsignsoflife.ButhereonEarth,sciencefictionisbecomingrealitythroughanewsamplingtechnologycalledenvironmentalDNA,oreDNAforshort. ”可知探险者使用某种高科技设备来测试可呼吸空气或生命迹象。但在地球上,通过一种叫做环境DNA(简称eDNA)的新采样技术,科幻小说正变成现实。所以短文的最佳标题为“ 物种调查——科普小说成为现实”。故选A。

Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”
As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles.
We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.
The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not to pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives.
As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.
What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make your own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.
51. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others.
B. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn
C. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves.
D. Reflecting upon other people’s strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes.
52. The underlined part “this type of learning” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________
A. learning from other people’s mistakes
B. learning from others experiences
C. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have
D. reflecting others strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves
53. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that________.
A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship
B. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes
C. some reflection will help to improve ourselves
D. reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life
54. The passage is probably taken from________.
A. a magazine about life B. a book about travel
C. an advertisement D. a research report
55. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to improve oneself.
B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.
C. How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life.
D. How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是向别人学习的好处及如何从别人的优点和缺点中学习。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.(我们总是倾向于认为我们只能向那些地位比我们高或知识比我们多的人学习，但事实并非如此。我们也向地位比我们低的人学习，因为每个人的经验和知识都非常不同。)”可知，B选项“Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn(我们只能向比我们知识多的人学习)”是错误的，故选B。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves(把别人的优点和缺点反映到自己身上)”可知，this type of learning指的就是“reflecting others strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves”，故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.(因此，不断地用别人的优点和缺点来反思自己，会让我们意识到这些错误的代价，减少我们犯类似错误的可能性。)”可知，从第五段，我们了解到一些反思将有助于提高我们自己，故选C。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”(孔子说：“三人行，必有我师。选择跟随别人的优点，并利用他们的缺点来反思自己。”)”和第二段的“As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves.(正如你从孔子所说的那样，我们遇到的每一个人都能教给我们一些有用的东西。只要我们反思从他人身上学到的教训，我们就能不断提高自己。)”可知，本文主要讲的是向别人学习的好处，是关于日常生活的，因此可能来自于一本关于生活的杂志，故选A。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn.

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读表达
About 43 years ago, I spotted an advertisement in the paper for the YMCA wildness program. I was 15 and wanted to do something different. My first experience was a boat trip. I still have the images of sunrises and sunsets with all beautiful colors on Lake of the Woods.
As a teenager, I didn’t know that I was having the best adventure a teenager could have. Even now I can feel the cold water dripping down my arm as we sat in the boat pulling the paddles awkardly through running water. It was my first experience in a boat and my arms became tired after many hours of paddling.
We stopped for lunch in the boat by assembling all the boats together. Our guide handed out chocolate, cheese and dried meat.
At night it was time to camp at our site picked out by our guide. There we learned to start campfires and cook some of our meals. This is where I felt in love with noodles. It was wonderful to share simple meals over the fire and talk with new friends. We cleaned up our mess and put up our tents and slept on the ground. We learned to carry the heavy packs to our next destination. I developed a sense of accomplishment and had arm muscles after that trip.
There were no phones , makeup, hair dryers...just us and the bush. We came from different backgrounds with different personalities and we all had to work together as a group.
I liked the boat trip so much that I joined the “Survival” trip the next year. I kept a journal from that second trip and often go back to it.
56. Where did the author experience his first boat trip in the wild?(No more than 5 words)
57. What did the author think of his/her first boat trip?(No more than 10words)
58. What does the underlined word “assembling” in paragraph 3 probably mean?(1 word)
59. What did the author learn to do from the camp of the first boat trip?(no more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of a trip without phones?(no more than 20words)
【答案】56. On lake of the Woods
57. It was the best adventure a teenager would have.
58. Gathering
59. To start /starting campfires, cook meals and carry the heavy pack.
60. It’s a great opportunity to completely enjoy a trip without any one disturbing, which should be encouraged.

There we learned to start campfires and cook some of our meals.We learned to carry the heavy packs to our next destination”可知在第一次乘船经历中露营时，我们学会了生火和做饭。我们学会了把沉重的背包搬到下一个目的地。故答案为“To start /starting campfires, cook meals and carry the heavy pack.”。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。题目问你认为没有手机的旅行怎么样。没有手机的话，我们可以全身心地去享受旅行，不需要担心别人打扰，所以这种旅行方式应该被支持。故答案为“It’s a great opportunity to completely enjoy a trip without any one disturbing, which should be encouraged.”。
【点睛】关键信息定位法。这个主要是细节题，如涉及到数字（日期、时间、价格等），就可以在文章中快速圈出数字，再找出目标数字及相对应的细节作息，还有人物姓名、地点名词等等，其他的还包括一些提示情节发展，或条纲性关键字眼，如First，Next， Finally等等。如第4小题，问的是在露营时作者学会了什么，根据关键词“camp”可定位到第四段中的“At night, it was time to camp at our site picked out by our guide. There we learned to start campfires and cook some of our meals.We learned to carry the heavy packs to our next destination”，在第一次乘船经历中露营时，我们学会了生火和做饭。我们学会了把沉重的背包搬到下一个目的地。故答案为“To start /starting campfires, cook meals and carry the heavy pack.”。
