I卷
第一局部单项选择(每一小题1分，一共计20分)
1. Steve lives in______European country, and he teaches in_______ university there.
A. an; a
B. an; the
C. a; a
D. a; an
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考察冠词。

句意：Steve住在一个欧洲国家，他在那里的一所大学教书。

冠词a后面加辅音开头的单词，European和university都是辅音开头的单词，应选C项。

【点睛】考生有误区，认为以元音字母a, e, i, o, u开头的单词就是元音开头，这里European和university首字母都是元音字母，但是发的音是辅音，所以用a。

2. Most of the villagers took part in the Dragon Boat races_______9:00 a.m.______ the morning of June 18.
A. at; in
B. at; on
C. on; in
D. on; on
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考察时间是介词。

句意：大局部村民在6月18号的早上九点参加龙舟比赛。

9：00 a.m.是详细的时刻，前面要用介词at；第二个空格特指的是6月18号的早上，需要用介词on。

应选B项。

【点睛】在morning,afternoon以及evening前面到底用介词in还是on，取决于是否是详细的早上、
下午和晚上，假如不详细特指，就用介词in；假如详细特指了，就用介词on。

如此题就是特指6月18号的早上，故用介词on。

3. _________people prefer HUAWEI phones, and about _______of them are adults.

C. A number of; four-fifths
D. The number of; four-five

a number of +可数名词的复数形式，表示“一些、许多〞，其谓语动词要用复数形式〞；the number of +可数名词的复数，表示“......的数量〞，其谓语动词要用单数形式。

根据语境可知，第一空是指“许多人偏爱华为手机〞。

由此可知，第一个空格处是指“许多〞，可知要用a number of。

第二空格为分数，分数的表达方式为：分子用基数词，分母要用序数词，当分子大于1时，分母用复数形式。

“五分之四〞的表示法为four-fifths。

综合可知，本小题之答案为C。

【分析】
【详解】考察介词+关系代词引导的定语从句。

句意：对中国的中等城而言，还有很多往外扩展的空间，就是这样一个例子。

分析句子成分和句子构造可知，________ Yancheng is an example修饰前面的名词cities，所以这是一个非限制定语从句；根据句意可知，句中表达的意思为“是中等城的一个例子〞，表示“……的〞需要用到介词of。

应选C项。

【点睛】介词+关系代词引导的定语从句中，介词的选择方法之一是根据句意进展确定，如此题中需要表示“……的〞，所以用到的介词是of。

考生在遇到这个知识点的时候，要学会从句意出发确定介词。

分析句子可知，说明一般情况应该用一般如今时，这句话的主语是All we need，所以为主语从句，当主语从句

B. went to
C. go to
D. have gone to
【答案】C

Back in 2021 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people
were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused. This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.
In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.〞 That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer aprivilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight anddementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly,these
age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined. Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.
The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dan gerous for the rest of us.
24. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.
A. the harm of driving at an old age
B. the importance of traffic safety
C. traffic accidents are on the rise
D. many elderly drivers are careless
25. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.
A. over eighty-five
B. between sunset and dawn
C. with the help of voice warning systems
D. under the influence of prescription drugs
26. The underlined word “unsettling〞 in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________〞.
A. disappointing
B. worrying
C. touching
D. interesting
27 Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. How to keep old people safe on the road?
B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?
C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?
D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】

应选B。

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。

纵观全文可知，文章就老人开车引发的事故，分析了老年人开车引发事故的可能原因，并且提倡措施，如增加法律条例的措施来限制最高驾驶年龄。

C
A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.
So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their
eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body’s natura l rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.
Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing〞requires effective staffing (人员装备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.
But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.
Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?
28. How do schools often shorten the school day?
A. They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.
B. They reduce the teaching time.
C. They properly adjust children’ natural rhythms.
D. They increase more holidays.
29. What’s the purpose of the children’ short lesson breaks according to the text?
A. To supervise children more easily.
B. To make children quickly take in what they. Learned.
C. To reduce children’s excitement.
D. To make children behave better in class.
30. What can we learn about later school start time from the text?
A. It will add to the teacher’s pressure.
B. It has always been there for 25 years.
C. Parents may support it.
D. It benefits the students only.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The benefits of a less stressful day.
B. The benefits of later school start time.
C. How to solve teenagers’ sleep problem.
D. The reasons why teenagers sleep differently.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
本文是说明文。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。

根据And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.(而且总是有一种恐惧，即在休息期间行为会恶化。

因此，理论上说，让他们上课和严格监视肯定更好。

)可推断，缩短课间是怕孩子们课间胡闹，在教室里方便管理，更容易监视管理。

应选A。

【30题详解】

Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold water near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.
All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat. Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.
When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.
Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的)
waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.
In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.
32. The underlined phrase “licked up〞 in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____〞.
A. given up
B. ended up
C. broken up
D. eaten up
33. During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales _____.
A. always swim under the ocean
B. find food to supply their energy

描写了哺乳动物中最长的迁徙，即灰鲸从靠近阿拉斯加区域一路向北，往温暖的墨西哥迁徙的过程。

以及灰鲸是怎样捕食，分娩等事情。

【32题详解】
推理判断题。

由上文〔They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.〕灰鲸从海底吞一大口淤泥，将淤泥从鲸须中吐出，泥水流出去，小的生物被困在鲸须中，转而被吃掉。

故D项正确。

【33题详解】
细节理解题。

题干中关键词为Mexico，在原文第4段Two months later, the whales reach Mexico.开头找到，故而可将答案定位到上一段。

第3段中的They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest.指出，在往墨西哥迁徙的长途中，灰鲸夜以继日，不做任何的停留和休息。

故D项正确。

【34题详解】
细节理解题。

由文章第4段中的Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖).可知，灰鲸宝宝出生在被称之为濒海湖的温暖的浅水区，故A项正确。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。

B项在第2段they use to get food from ocean water提及；C项在最后一段it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.中提及。

D项在第1句Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold water near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico中提及。

【点睛】七选五题型解题技巧
该题型对学生的考察才能总体从两个方面来考察；第一，把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系。

第二把握微观信息间关联性。

〔即空格前后句间关系。

该题型选项大致可分为
主旨概括句〔文章整体内容〕；过渡性句子〔文章构造〕和注释性句子〔上下文逻辑意义〕三类。

正确的解题思路分为以下几步：
(１) 首当其冲看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，理解文章大意。

(２) 精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。

由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联络，因此我们可以通过选项里面某个名词或者动词跟空前或者空后的一致性或者者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确之答案。

如第4小题所在段的主题句“Try something new.〞尝试新东西比方报名参加成人教育班。

分析选项G有尝试新东西如学习一门新的语言，与此相关。

(３) 看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或者相关性的词语。

实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个打破。

此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或者句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。

正确选项的特点：复现，包括同义反复，反义反复。

第3小题主第5题选项与所在位置有同义词的复现。
