54、文是几则广告，介绍了几种好的度假方式，并阐述了各自的好处及特色。 1. A 事实细节题。依据题干中提及的pets一词，可知应选第一种度假方式。由Children and pets are welcome可得出答案为A。2. B 事实细节题。依据During the trip, you can rest on deck (甲板)及You will visit all the places most people only dream about可知World Sea Trip of 2020的特色在于能够在船上睡觉及参观别人参观不到的很多地方。B项正确。3. D 事实细节题。依据Equipmen

55、t is included except walking shoes可知该费用不包括鞋的费用。故D项正确。(B) 作者通过自己遇到一位看起来很穷, 却是个大富翁的事例来告诫我们：不要以貌取人。4. B 猜测词义题。有上文的unshaved和下文的a worn-out hat可推断出这个划线词的意思：衣衫不整。5. A. 事实细节题。由第五段最后一句可以得知。6. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述可知，作者听了朋友的话之后感到很惊讶。7. D 主旨大意题。本文结尾句说到：我努力尊重每个人，不管他们是谁，我都会热心真诚相待。作者传达出的意思就是：勿以貌取人。(C) 文章就如何减少浪费而展开讲述

56、目前垃圾的习惯处理方法填埋和燃烧。但这两种方式各有优缺点。作者希望废物能够得到更好的回收利用，以减少对环境的污染。8. D 事实细节题。根据第三段Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).可知选D。9. B 主旨大意题。根据本段(第六段)的Another problem with burning rubbish is that可知前面已经讲了关于燃烧垃圾的一个问题(燃烧前需分类而且分析成本很高)。故此段主要讲燃烧垃圾存在的问题。符合B

57、项。10. C 推理判断题。由第五和第六段可推断出C项正确。其他选项均无法从原文中推断出。11. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things可知接下来理应是讲如何更有效地回收利用废物。(D) 本文介绍了四个可以帮助你取得成功的习惯。12. B 事实细节题。由Pick a goal and focus on it部分的The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance

58、 you have of success.可知与B项一致。13. C 推理判断题。A、B、D都可以从原文中推断出来。而C项错就错在are bound to(一定会，必然)，根据文章可知，遵循了文章提到的四个习惯会成功，但由文章最后两段可知，也有看能会失败的。故C项错误。14. B 词义猜测题。由it所在段落Failure cant be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure.可知有的时候，失败总

59、是不可避免的，所以Remember your mindset earlier.(早一点有这种会失败的心态)，那么当失败真正到来的时候，不会太过沮丧和一蹶不振。所以Know it will happen.理应就是指：要知道失败可能会发生。而下一句A failure is merely you一直到段尾都是讲述关于失败的内容。故选B符合上下语境。15. A 主旨大意题。根据首段的最后一句I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.可知，本文作者主要给读者提供了四个帮助取得成功的好习惯。符合A项。B项文不对

60、题；C和D项过于片面。第二节本文列举了出国旅游需要注意的各种事项。16. E 选项E是对前面travels abroad的进一步补充说明。故选E正确。17. C 由下面的NHS travel health information可知答案选C正确。18.

61、rehensive travel insurance可知答案选A正确。 第二部分 语言知识运用第一节文章讲述的是读中学时，作者在一次数学考试中和其他十一个男孩子一样作弊。Mrs. Clara通过一种特别的方式教育了这些孩子，并对作者影响深远。21. B 根据下一句的When the papers were可知是指数学考试。故选B正确。22. A 由空后的she found that twelve boys had made 23 the same mistakes in the test.可知，考完试之后肯定就是改试卷或者给试卷打分。斟酌四个选项，具有“打分”符合语境和逻辑。23. D 根据空

62、后的the same mistakes in the test和下一段首句There is nothing new about cheating可推知，有12个男孩子在试卷中所犯的错误是完全一样的。斟酌四个选项，只有D项具有“完全地”之意。其他选项都不符合语境。24. C 整句话There is 24 new about cheating in 25 .意为“考试作弊没什么新鲜的”。故答案选C最合适句意逻辑。25. A 根据空前的There is nothing new about cheating in可推知，作弊肯定是在考试时。26. C 根据下一句She only可知，此处作者对Mrs.

63、 Clara的举止感到非常惊讶。故答案选C最能体现这种感觉。27. B 由空后after class. I was one of the twelve和下一段she wrote the following words on the blackboard: On your way home(这些孩子还没有回家)可知，既然这12个孩子作弊，Mrs. Clara肯定是让他们在放学后留下来。28. C 根据文章最后一段中的I often think of this: if Mrs. Clara had scolded us可知选C。同源词复现。29. A 由空后的words on the blackb

64、oard可知答案选A合适。此处following意为“下面的、以下的”。30. C 根据下一句Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost.可知选C。属于原词复现。31. B 根据空后的some money he lost可知，此处是指“有没有看到/发现他丢的钱”，只有B项最符合逻辑。32. D 由上一段On your way home you find some 30 and he lost. What will you do?可知Mrs. Clara让我们(12个男孩)把她写在黑板上的问题写下来。故选

65、D合适。33. A 有上文可知，answer对应question。或者根据空后的to也可知，answer to the question 问题的答案。34. B 根据首段中的she found that twelve boys可知此题选B。35. C 根据上文可知，Mrs. Clara的问题让作者感触很深，深深地影响着作者。故作者认为这是他生命中最重要的一件事情。选C符合上下语境。36. D 对比四个选项。只有A项最符合上下文语境逻辑。from then on意为“从那时起”。37. D 斟酌四个选项，make a promise 作承诺，make a mistake 犯错误，make a d

66、efense 防守，make a decision 作选择。根据文章的内在联系，作者在一次考试中选择了作弊，此处暗指作者以后到底是选择作弊还是选择不作弊，或者作其他选择时，都考虑到Mrs. Clara跟孩子们说的问题。故选D最符合文章语境。38. B 根据文章的上文语境可知选B。39. A 由空前的if Mrs. Clara had scolded us as many other可知Mrs. Clara是老师。句意：如果Mrs. Clara也像其他老师一样责备我们。故选A项合适。40. D 由文章第一、二段可知。或者由第二段首句There is 24 new about cheating i

67、n 25 .也可知。属于原词复现。第二节本文主要介绍美国词典编纂家诺亚韦伯斯特以及其英语词典。41. were fighting 分析句子成分可知，动词fight在此作谓语，故考虑时态和语态。根据背景知识和空前的At that time, the colonies可知此处应该用过去进行时。42. that/which 分析句子成分可知 would mean more to American childrens是个定语从句，先行词是books，故填which或that均可。43. were sold 此处sell作谓语，考虑时态和语态。时态是一般过去式，语态要用被动，因此填were sold正确

68、。44. He 缺少主语填代词。此处He指代前面的Webster。注意首字母要大写。45. the 根据空后的word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh”可知此处是特指，故需用定冠词。46. which 分析句子成分可知in an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”是个定语从句且空前已经有个介词in，故填which。in which=where。47. why 此处why引导一个表语从句。只有填why才符合语境。48. from 介词短语结构With the money he made 48 h

69、is books意为“用那些他从书赚来的钱，”，表“从”用介词from。49. published 分析句子成分可知，动词publish在此作非谓语。而publish与逻辑主语dictionary存在被动关系，故填过去分词形式published作时间状语。50. gave 根据空前的Websters dictionary had over 70,000 words and可知，gave和had是两个并列谓语，时态要一致。 第三部分 写作第一节 短文改错这是Wang Ping给Fan写的一封信，信中告知其在英国上学一天的学校生活。51. 在is和pleasure之间加my /a此处缺少限定词。5

70、2. gotget 根据后面的wash, have breakfast and leave可知要用一般现在时。53. inat 表示在多少点用介词at。54. 去掉half后的of 表示半小时用half an hour，不用介词of。55. themwhich 前后是两个分句，只有用关联词才能把这两个句子连在一起。故用which。是个带有介词的非限定性定语从句。56. stopstopping 此处stop是个非谓语。逻辑主语是five lessons。存在主动关系，故用现在分词。57. lessonlessons 根据前面的three可知要用复数形式。58. whetherif 此处是一个条

71、件句。故用if。59. punishpunishment 作主语要用名词形式。60. beforeafter 根据前后语境可知，是指放学后。第二节 书面表达Dear Alex, I would like to ask you for help. Would you please take the place of me to take part in the tree planting activity in the Peoples Park tomorrow? You know the school sports meeting has taken up much of my time an

72、d energy, and I need to adjust myself. You will get together at the school gate at 7 oclock, and set off by bike for the park.
