第一部分：听力（略）
第二部分：知识运用（共两节，45分）
第一节单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分）

21. Some animals carry seeds from one place to another, ______ plants can spread to new places.
A. so
B. or
C. for
D. but
【答案】A
【解析】考查并列句中连词的使用，根据句意来做题。前半句说“一些动物把种子从一个地方带到另一个地方”，后半句说“植物可以传播到新的地方”，由句意可知，后半句是前半句的结果，所以我们选择so。

A. fill
B. have filled
C. am filling
D. will fill

A. by

D. until
【答案】B

24. ______ carefully if any change occurs when doing experiments in the lab.
A. Observe
B. To observe

25. Last night, there were millions of people ______ the opening ceremony live on TV.
A. watch
B. to watch

26. I borrowed the book Sherlock Holmes from the library last week, ______ my classmates recommended to me.
A. who
B. which
C. when
D. where

A. Can
B. Must
C. Shall
D. Should
【答案】A

A. solving
B. solved
C. being solved
D. to be solved
【答案】D
【解析】考查非谓语。非谓语的动作发生在谓语动词之后，所以要用to do，又因为非谓语的动作与逻辑主语many problems构成被动关系，所以选择to be solved。
29. ______ the forest park is far away, a lot of tourists visit it every year.
A. As
B. When
C. Even though
D. In case
【答案】C
【解析】考查并列句中连词的使用，根据句意来做题。as“正如”，when“当……时候”，even though“虽然，即使”，in case“以防”。根据句意，表让步，所以选择even though。
