Today there are more than 6 million people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This means we need more food.
One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very lowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食品), or GM foods.
By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food. GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
46. What does the underlined word “GM foods” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Genetic material of a plant
B. Genetic material
C. Diseases
D. Genetically modified foods
47. How many people will there be by the year 2050?
A. 6 billion.
B. Perhaps 12.5 billion.
C. Less than 6 billion.
D. We have no idea.
48. Does anyone know how good or bad GM foods are?
A. No, no one knows.
B. Yes, no one does.
C. No, someone does.
D. Yes, someone knows.
49. Why do rich countries produce GM foods?
A. Because they work very slowly.
B. Because poor countries are not interested in this kind of foods.
C. Because GM foods are easy to grow and bring in more money.
D. Because GM plants are not natural.
50. The best title of this passage is ________.
A. Dolphin’s life and food
B. Amy’s job at a marine park
C. Education in park
D. GM foods

第一节选择题
Ⅱ. Multiple Choice
1.—Have you seen ________ TV programme Running Man?
—Of course It’s really ________ funny one.
A. a; the
B. the; a
C. a; a
D. the; the
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】
句意：--你看过电视节目《奔跑吧，兄弟》吗？--当然，它确实是一部有趣的节目。

前空表示特指“Running Man”这个名字的TV programme,表示特指，用定冠词the；后空表示“一……”，是不定冠词a/an的用法，a用在以辅音音素开始的单词前，an用在以元音音素开始的单词前，funny的第一个音
[f]是辅音音素，前加a。

故选B。

2.The number of wild animals ________ getting bigger and bigger in the nature reserve now.
A. was
B. were
C. is
D. are
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：如今自然保护区野生动物的数量变得越来越多。

本题主要考查主谓一致的用法。

wild animals虽然是复数形式，但是此题的主语是单数的the number，不是它后面的复数名词，谓语动词必须和the number呼应。

the number of作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数，时
间状语词now说明时态为一般现在时。

故选C。

3.Boys and girls, you can’t carry much money with you and don’t go out alone at night either. You need to guard against any possible ________ around you.
A. friendship
B. danger
C. sadness
D. truth
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：孩子们，你不能随身携带很多钱，晚上也不要单独外出。

你需要防范你周围的任何危险。

本题主要考查名词词义辨析。

A. friendship友谊；B. danger危险；C. sadness悲伤；D. truth真理。

结合句意，不能随身携带很多钱，晚上也不能单独外出，可知应该是“危险”。

故选B。

4.They ________ stand at the gate and welcome the guests because the robots can do that.
A. mustn’t
B. shouldn’t
C. needn’t
D. can’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：他们不必站在门口欢迎客人，因为机器人能做到。

考查情态动词否定式的用法。

A. mustn’t禁止，不准；B. shouldn’t不应该；B. needn’t不必；D. c an’t不可能。

结合语境“因为机器人能做到，所以没有必要站在门口欢迎客人”。

故选C。

【点睛】情态动词无人称和数的变化；不能单独使用，必须与其后的动词原形构成谓语。

否定形式通常在后面加not。

要注意情态动词的不同用法。

5.The boy is dishonest. He always ________ some excuses for doing something wrong.
A. makes up
B. sets up
C. takes up
D. wakes up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：这个男孩不诚实，他总是为做错事而编造一些借口。

本题主要考查动词短语辨析。

A. makes up编造；B. sets up建立；C. takes up从事，占据；D. wakes up唤醒；分析句子“The boy is dishonest”及“some excuses”。

推测意思是这个男孩不诚实，他总是为做错事而编造一些借口。

故选A。

6.—Mr Black, my computer is broken, it needs ________.
—OK, I will have it ________ tomorrow.
A. to be mended; mending
B. mending; to mend
C. mending; mended
D. to mend; to be mended
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：—布莱克先生，我的电脑坏了，它需要修理。

—好的，我明天就修。

本题主要考查固定搭配。

主语为人时。

一般用need to do sth. 句型。

主语为物时，通常用need doing。

need doing 中的need属实义动词，后跟动名词形式，表示被动意义。

“have + sth.（宾语）+ 过去分词（宾语补足语）”意为“让/叫/使/请别人做某事”。

宾语sth.后面用过去分词作宾语补足语，说明sth.与过去分词表示的动作之间是被动关系。

故选C。

7.—Could you tell me ________?
—You bet. He is always helpful.
A. whether he will do us a favor
B. whether he would do us a favor or not
C. whether will he do us a favor
D. if he would do us a favor
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：—你能告诉我他是否会帮我们一个忙吗？—当然，他总是乐于助人的。

本题主要考查宾语从句。

宾语从句要用陈述句语序，排除C；根据语境可知“帮忙”这个动作还没有发生。

此处从句应为一般将来时态，排除B、D，故选A。

【点睛】宾语从句无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，从句都必须使用陈述语序，即“主句＋连词＋宾语从句（主语＋谓语＋……）”句式。

含宾语从句的复合句，主、从句谓语动词的时态呼应应包括以下三点内容：
（1）如果主句的谓语动词是一般现在时，从句的谓语动词可根据需要，选用相应的任何时态。

（2）如果主句的谓语动词是过去时，宾语从句的谓语动词只可根据需要，选用过去时态即一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时或过去完成时的某一种形式。

（3）如果宾语从句所表示的是客观事实、普遍真理、自然现象或习惯性动作等，不管主句用什么时态，从句时态都用一般现在时。

8.Jim’s mother is the one who looks ________ of the two women.
A. thinner
B. the thinner
C. more thinner
D. the thinnest
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：吉姆的妈妈是这两个女人中看起来更瘦的那个。

本题主要考查形容词比较级的运用。

根据空后of the two women.可知此处为两者之间比较，故用比较级，当
要特指两者中“较(更)…”时，比较级前通常要带定冠词，需要用“the”来特指，故应选B。

9.Story of Yanxi Palace is one of the most popular________ and the main role Wei Yingluo ______ the hearts of many people, so it is a big success.
A. plays; win
B. plays; has won
C. play; has won
D. play; won
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：《延禧攻略》是最受欢迎的剧之一，其主角魏璎珞赢得了许多人的心，因此这部剧是一个巨大的成功。

本题主要考查名词及动词的形式。

根据“one of +名词的复数，表示……之一”可知，这里表示“最受欢迎的剧之一”，故第一空“play”用复数形式。

“剧中魏璎珞赢得许多人的心”表示从过去已经开始，持续到现在，并有可能继续持续下去，故第二空为现在完成时态。

故选B。

10.When we study at school, we can’t _____ read e-books with mobile phone. Teachers always make us ____ hard.
A. see; study
B. be seen to; to study
C. see; studying
D. be seen to; study
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：当我们在学校时，我们不能被看见用手机阅读电子书，老师总是要我们努力学习。

本题主要考查固定搭配。

第一空根据题意可知此处“see”这个动作为被动，意为我们不能被别人看到阅读电子书，故用被动语态；第二空根据固定搭配“make sb do sth让某人做某事”可知，此处应填动词原形。

故选D。

11.I found it ________ to finish the work with so ________ money.
A. hard; little

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：我发现用如此少的钱去完成这份工作是很难的。

本题主要考查形容词辨析。

12.—________ is your home from the library?
—It is about fifteen ________ walk.
A. How long; minutes’
B. How far: minutes
C. How long; minute’s
D. How far; minutes’
【答案】D

根据about fifteen minutes’ walk，可知上文是询问你家离图书馆多远，How far询问多远，How long询问时间多久或物体多长；minute是可数名词。

“15分钟”的英文翻译为“fifteen minutes”。

以s结尾的名词的所有格的构成是在词尾加’。

故选D。

A. that: have
B. which; having

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：我唯一想做的事情就是歇一会儿。

本题主要考查定语从句关系词和动词不定式。

先行词“thing”被“the only”修饰时，关系代词只能用that，排除B和C，此处为不定式做表语，说明主语的内容（休息是我唯一想做的事情）。

故选D。

【点睛】定语从句中关系代词只能用that引导的几种情况：
（1）如果先行词是all, much, anything, something, nothing, everything, little, none等不定代词，关系代词一般只用that，不用which。

（2）如果先行词被the only, the very, the same, the last, the best等词修饰，关系代词常用that(指人时，可以用who)。

（3）当先行词被all, every, no, some, any, little, much所修饰时。

（4）当先行词被序数词或形容词最高级所修饰时。

（5）在there be句型中，常用that。

（5）先行词有两个，一个指人，一个指物，关系代词应该用that。
