It’s a collection of short stories 2 I have read before.A. interesting, whichB. interesting, thatC. interesting, whoD. interesting, whomAnswer: AExplanation: The first blank requires an adjective to describe the book. “Interesting” is the correct choice. The second blank requires a relative pronoun to introduce a non-restrictive relative clause. “Which” is used for non-restrictive relative clauses, referring to the book.2、My parents often tell me 3is important to study hard and be responsible.A. thatB. itC. thisD. whichAnswer: AExplanation: The blank requires a conjunction to introduce a noun clause as the direct object of the verb “tell.” “That” is used in this context to introduce the noun clause “what is important.”3、The Smiths__________(be) planning to go on a vacation next month. They hope to visit some of the most beautiful places in Europe.•Answer: are•Explanation: The subject “The Smiths” is treated as a plural noun referring to the members of the Smith family. Therefore, we use the plural form of the verb “to be,” which is “are.” This sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is planned for the near future.4、By the time he arrives, all the work__________(finish).•Answer: will have been finished•Explanation: The sentence requires the future perfect tense because it refers to an action that will be completed before another point in the future. “Will have been finished” indicates that the completion of the work happens before the time he arrives. The passive voice is used here since the focus is on the work being done rather than who does it.These types of questions test the student’s understanding of verb tenses, agreement between subjects and verbs, and the use of active versus passive voice.5.I have never seen such a beautiful__________before. (_____)A. viewB. viewC. sceneD. sightAnswer: DExplanation: The correct answer is “sight” because it is used to refer to a place or scene that is worth seeing. The phrase “such a beautiful sight” isa common expression.6.The teacher asked us to__________our books before we left the classroom. (_____)A. closeB. shutC. lockD. closeAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “shut” because it is the correct verb to use when referring to closing books. “Close” is also correct, but “shut” is more commonly used in this context. “Lock” is not appropriate here as it implies securing something, not closing it.7、After________(finish) your homework, you should check it carefully.•Answer: finishing•Explanation: After is a preposition, and after it we use the gerund form of the verb, which is ‘finishing’ in this case.8、The teacher asked us to write about________(we) experiences during the summer holiday.•Answer: our•Explanation: The pronoun should agree with the noun ‘experiences’ which is possessive here, thus ‘our’ is the correct possessive adjective to use.9.In the___________time, the internet has become an essential part of our lives.A. recentB. laterC. lastD. pastAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “recent” because it refers to a period oftime that has just passed, which fits the context of the internet becoming an essential part of our lives in the more recent past.10.The___________of the book was so compelling that I couldn’t put it down.A. storyB. titleC. coverD. authorAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “story” because it refers to the content or plot of the book, which is what would be compelling enough to keep someone from putting it down. The other options (title, cover, author) do not directly relate to the engaging nature of the content.五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1、What are the three main types of weather patterns mentioned in the text? (Please list them and provide a brief explanation of each.)Answer:The three main types of weather patterns mentioned in the text are:1.fronts: These are boundaries between different air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels. They can lead to various weather phenomena such as storms and rain.2.high-pressure areas: These are areas where air descends and creates calm,clear weather due to the sinking air.3.low-pressure areas: These are areas where air rises, often leading to cloudy skies, rain, and storms due to the upward movement of warm air.Explanation:The text explains that fronts are the boundaries between different air masses, high-pressure areas are characterized by sinking air, and low-pressure areas are associated with rising air. Each of these patterns contributes to different types of weather conditions.2、 Describe the impact of global warming on ocean levels. How does this affect coastal communities?Answer:The impact of global warming on ocean levels includes:1.Melting ice: As global temperatures rise, polar ice caps and glaciers melt, contributing to the increase in ocean water volume.2.Expansion of water: warmer water expands, adding more volume to the oceans.This affects coastal communities in several ways:1.Rising sea levels: Coastal areas may experience flooding and erosion more frequently as sea levels rise.2.Saltwater intrusion: Increased salinity can contaminate freshwater supplies and affect agriculture.3.Economic impact: Coastal communities may suffer economically due to the loss of land, infrastructure, and tourism.Explanation:The text discusses how global warming leads to the melting of ice and the expansion of warmer ocean water, both of which contribute to rising sea levels. These changes have direct implications for coastal communities, including increased flooding, saltwater intrusion, and economic challenges.3.What is the main idea of the story “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway?答案：The main idea of “The Old Man and the Sea” is the struggle of an old fisherman, Santiago, against a giant marlin, and the ultimate triumph of human spirit and determination over adversity.解析：In the story, the old man, Santiago, faces numerous challenges and setbacks in his quest to catch a giant marlin. Through his perseverance and resilience, he demonstrates the strength of the human spirit.

The character Tom Robinson, who is falsely accused of rape, is compared toa mockingbird, symbolizing his innocence and the tragic consequences ofhis innocence being misunderstood and exploited.•The Radley Place: Represents the unknown and the fear of the unknown. It also symbolizes the limitations imposed by prejudice and ignorance.•The finch’s nest: Symbolizes the innocence and purity of children, particularly Scout and Jem, who are able to see the world with fresh eyes and understand the injustice around them.•The river: Symbolizes the journey of growth and change. It represents the characters’ passage from innocence to understanding the complexities of the world around them.解析：Harper Lee uses symbolism to enhance the storytelling and convey deeper meanings. These symbols help readers understand the themes and messages of the novel, making it a powerful work of literature.5.Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The story of the Little Prince is about a young astronaut who meets a mysterious little prince from a distant planet.

She is a student of _________ university.A. the; aB. a; anC. the; anD. /; the【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：——你认识穿红色衣服的女孩吗？——是的.她是一所大学的学生.考查冠词的用法.第一个空是特指in red穿着红色衣服的女孩，用定冠词the；第二个空泛指一所大学的学生，用不定冠词，university[ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːsəti]辅音发音开头，用不定冠词a，故选A.【点睛】定冠词分为不定冠词，定冠词和零冠词.不定冠词的an一定要修饰元音发音或者元音音素开头的词，而不是元音字母，比如university[ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːsəti]，它是元音字母开头，但不是元音发音开头，要用不定冠词a 修饰.2. Taiwan is _________ the southeast of China.A. toB. inC. fromD. on【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：台湾在中国的东南方.考查介词的用法.in表示在范围内；on表示接壤；to表示不接壤；from是来自.根据句意以及常识可知，台湾在中国的东南方，在中国范围之内，故选B.3. If we __________ the mistakes，we will make progress step by step.A. makeB. forgetC. haveD. correct【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：如果我们能改正错误，我们就会一点一点进步.考查动词辨析.make制作；forget忘记；have有；correct改正.根据句意可知，及时改正错误，有利于人们的进步，犯错误不可怕，改正就可以帮助人们取得进步，故选D.4. We should use __________ plastic bags to protect the environment.A. someB. moreC. lessD. fewer【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：我们应该少用塑料袋才能保护环境.考查形容词比较级.some一些；more更多的，是many/much的比较级；less更少的，是little的比较级；fewer 更少的，是few比较级.little修饰不可数名词，few修饰可数名词，题目中bags是复数形式，可数名词，更少的垃圾袋，应该是fewer，故选D.【点睛】little和few都表示少，但是few修饰的是可数名词，little修饰的是不可数名词.本题容易选成less，更少塑料袋，更少，想到less，但是一定注意plastic bags塑料袋是复数形式，用few，比较级是fewer. 5. --- Our team_______the match. We've got the first place！--- Well done！Congratulations！A. hitB. beatC. wonD. watched【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——我们队赢得了比赛，我们得了第一名.——做得好，恭喜！考查动词辨析.A. hit打、击打；B. beat打败；C. won赢得；D. watched观看.根据句意我们队赢得了比赛，我们得了第一名，可知应是win the match赢得比赛，故答案选C.【点睛】首先明确选项中每个单词或短语的意思，A：打击/碰撞；B：beat译成汉语也有"赢"、"取胜"、"战胜"之意．但跟win的用法不同，这个动词后面跟的是比赛中的对手或战争中的敌人；C：win的意思是"赢"、"获胜"、"得到成功"，在作为及物动词时，它的宾语往往是奖品、奖学金、名誉、财产、战争或运动等；D：观看；根据题干结合推测设空处句子的句意是"我们队赢了比赛，我们获得了第一名！"，由此判断句子中缺少"won"一词，故答案选C.6.
