don't like smoking．﹣__________________．（）A．Neither he is B．Neither is heC．Neither he does D．Neither does he【考点】IC：省略句．【分析】﹣﹣我不喜欢抽烟．﹣﹣我也不喜欢．【解答】答案：D．本题所考查的知识点是对固定句式的理解．"So+助动词/情态动词/be+主语"这一结构主要用来说明前者所说的情况也适应后者，意为"…也一样"根据题干，在这个结构中的助动词要根据前者的情况保持一致；其否定结构构成是"Nor/Neither+助动词/情态动词/be+主语"，"表示…也不"；对于助动词、情态动词和be动词的用法，应根据前句使用的词加以选择，与前句的词保持一致．根据前句的don't 这里是否定形式，所以后面应该用肯定形式，人称是he，所以这里应用does；再根据题干"我不喜欢抽烟"可知，答语应是"他也不喜欢"，应用neither；故选D．3．Mary's uncle made ______ possible for her ________around the world（）A．this，travelling B．this，to travelC．it，travelling D．it，to travel【考点】6E：形式宾语．【分析】玛丽的叔叔让她周游世界成为可能．【解答】答案：D．this意思是"这个"it意思是"它"经常用来作形式主语或形式宾语，现在分词表示动作正在进行，动词不定式表示未发生的动作．根据"Mary's uncle made ______ possible for her ________around the world"结合给出的选项，因此可知这句话的意思是"玛丽的叔叔让她周游世界成为可能．"周游世界只是一种可能，还没有付诸实施，所以要用it来作形式宾语，来代替后面的不定式短语，综上所述，故选D．4．I wonder they are getting on．（）A．what B．when C．that D．how【考点】C3：连词辨析．【分析】我想知道他们相处的怎么样．【解答】答案：D．首先结合语境推测句意是"我想知道他们相处的怎么样．"，设空处是一个宾语从句，结合句意判断用疑问词how，故选D5．﹣Hi，Li Ming．Why are you in such a hurry？﹣________________ the 7：30train．（）A．Catch B．To catch

D．until【考点】7B：常用介词的辨析．【分析】昨天晚上直到十一点他才去睡觉．【解答】答案：D．联系语境并根据前后句子的对比，可知句意是：昨天晚上直到十一点他才去睡觉．；由于主句中的谓语动词是非延续性的动词，根据句意结合关键词didn't，可以判断出此句应用固定表达not…until来完成，意为"直到…才…"引导一个时间状语从句．故选D10．﹣﹣I didn't watch the soccer game．How about you？﹣﹣﹣Me ．（）A．so B．instead C．neither D．too【考点】9B：副词的词义辨析．【分析】﹣我没看这场足球赛．你呢？﹣我也没看．【解答】答案：Cso因此；instead反而；代替；neither两个都不；too也（用于肯定句的末尾）；根据关键句I didn't watch the soccer game我没看这场足球赛；推出下句也是表达否定的含义，为否定句，意为"我也没看"，应用neither+助动词+主语或用me，neither．故选C11．Yao Ming is one of ________ most popular ________ in China．（）A．a，players B．the，players C．an，runners D．much，runners【考点】51：定冠词（the）．【分析】姚明是中国最受欢迎的运动员之一．【解答】答案：B．第一个空格后面的词语most popular，是最高级，所以第一个空要用定冠词the，又根据one of，意思是"…之一"所以后面要用复数名词，所以这个句子的意思是"姚明是中国最受欢迎的运动员之一．"综上所述，故选B．12．﹣Did you know China is one of the oldest countries in the world？﹣Yes，I did．It's than the US．（）A．much older B．more older C．much elder D．more elder【考点】81：形容词的比较级和最高级．【分析】﹣﹣﹣你知道中国是世界上最古老的国家之一吗？﹣﹣﹣是的，我知道，比美国要古老的多．【解答】答案：A．结合than可知是用比较级older或者elder，much修饰比较级，这里是作为表语，故用older，故答案是A．13．I began watching here an hour ago，but now nothing ________ yet．（）A．happens B．will happen C．happened D．has happened【考点】F5：现在完成时．【分析】翻译：一小时前我开始观察这里，但是现在任何事还没有发生．【解答】答案：D．因为句中有yet，所以该用现在完成时，现在完成时构成为：主语+have/has+动词的过去现在分词+其他成分，句中的主语是nothing，nothing 是不定代词，该用has，故该用has happened，故选D．14．Hello，may I speak to Mr．Smith？Sorry，he isn't in．He ______the office．（）A．has been to B．has gone toC．has been away【考点】F5：现在完成时．【分析】﹣喂，史密斯先生在吗？﹣对不起，他不在家，他去办公室了．【解答】答案：B．根据关键词Sorry，he isn't in．可知是他去了办公室，have been to，去过某地，已回到说话地点；have gone to，去了某地，不在说话地点；主语是单三形式，have的第三单数形式为has，故选B．15．It's sometimes hard to tell one twin from ______．（）A．another B．some other C．other D．the other【考点】65：不定代词．【分析】有时候很难区别双胞胎中的这个和那个？【解答】答案：D．another意思是"又一再一"；other意思是"别的，其他的"some other意思是"另外的；一些其他的"the other意思是"特指两者中的另一个"根据twin，意思是"双胞胎"双胞胎一般是两个，所以这个句子的意思是"有时候很难区别双胞胎中的这个和那个？"综上所述，故选D．16．Her son ____ Coke，but now he _____ milk．（）A．used to drink，is used to drinkingB．used to drinking，drinksC．is used to drinking，used to drinkD．is used to drink，is drinking【考点】E1：动词短语．【分析】句意：他的儿子过去常常喝可乐，但是现在他习惯了喝牛奶．【解答】答案：A．根据Her son ____ Coke，but now he _____ milk，可知在这里是现在和过去进行的比较，意思是过去常常喝可乐，但是现在他习惯了喝牛奶；used to do sth过去常常做某事，在这里头后面跟动词原形；be used to doing sth 习惯于做某事，在这里to是介词，后面跟动名词．故选A．17．His grade in the exam put him _____ the top students in his class．（）A．between B．over C．among D．above【考点】7B：常用介词的辨析．【分析】他在这次考试中的分数让他处在了班里最优秀的学生中．【解答】答案：C between"在…之间（两者）"；over"超过，在…上方"；among"在…之间（三者或以上）"；above"在…上面"．本题没有指明最优秀的学生的数量，但根据常识可知这个数量正好是两个的情况较少，一般都会多于两个，所以选among比较合适．故选C．18．Can you imagine how long the man ________ the photo album？（）A．has had B．has bought C．will keep D．bought【考点】F6：时态辨析．【分析】你能想象这个男人买这个相册多久了吗？【解答】答案：A．how long引导的是宾语从句，主句是一般现在时，从句时态不受限制，结合句意表达的动作发生在过去，对现在造成一定的影响，故用现在完成时have/has+过去分词，主语the man，故has，buy是短暂性动词，不能与how long连用，故换成have，故选A．19．We are having a yard _______，but it's hard _____ it．（）A．sell，sell B．sale，sell C．sale，to sell D．sell，sale【考点】DH：动词词义辨析．【分析】我们正在出售一个院子，但出售它是很困难的，【解答】答案：C．考查动词词义辨析．句意：我们正在出售一个院子，但出售它是很困难的，根据题干We are having a yard _______，but it's hard _____ it．可知yard sale院子出售；hard to

As we all know, students in primary and middle schoolin China have at least one labor (劳动) class a week. They will try different kinds of labor and learn different life skills.Kids from a school in Chongqing had a class about catching coaches (泥鳅) in the field and learned about their habits. Kids in Fenyi, Jiangxi, made tofu with a millstone (磨盘). They also tasted tofu made by themselves. Some kids in Ziyang, Sichuan, also grew vegetables at school, like carrots and potatoes. They learned how these vegetables were planted, how to take care of them and how to cook them.Labor education can help people to be active, creative and happy in life. Through such classes, students can learn the meaning of labor and its value (价值).15.

In fact, they are so popular that people regard them as part of ancient Chinese history andculture. What do these Chinese titles refer to? Have you ever wondered what the stories behind these ideas are?Modesty and respectChinese people in the past or even sometimes today call their sons quanzi (犬子). They believe that dogs are humble (卑微的) animals. When Chinese parents use quanzi to refer to their sons, they are being modest. Although most parents do want them to be successful, they don’t usually talk about this in front of others. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to how even rich Chinese people call their big houses hanshe (寒舍), which means “my humble home”.Although people are modest about themselves, they respect others a lot. They call their own sons quanzi, but call others’sons linglang (令郎), a respectful way to say “your son”.Trees of characterIn Chinese, kaimo (楷模) means “role model”. Both of these Chinese characters have a “木”on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might are two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ character—straight and honest. People believed that the mo trees grew near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou (周公). The color of the mo tree’s leaves made the tree a symbol of integrity.Since the kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two respected people, kaimo was then used to refer to role models.19. If Xiaoli needs to introduce his own son to others in a modest way, he may use the title “________”.A．quanzi B．taoli C．hanshe D．linglang20. Which of the following about “kaimo” is NOT true?A．It refers to the role models.B．It’s from the trees called kai and mo.C．We can use it to describe Confucius.D．We see it as a symbol of modesty.21. The underlined word “integrity” probably means “________”.A．being modest and humble B．being successful and respectfulC．being straight and honest D．being pure and smart22. You can infer from the passage that ________.A．titles like “taoli” are part of Chinese traditional cultureB．trees are always a symbol of integrityC．showing modesty and respect is important in ancient ChinaD．people planted kai trees to remember the Duke of Zhou(★★★)Can you imagine an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) competing with you in an examination? Do you think you could get higher scores than it? A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed a law (法律) school exam! Sounds crazy? The use of ChatGPT has raised heated discussions in the education world.ChatGPT was developed by US company Open AI. It is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. According to a US survey of more than 1000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some schools in the US do not allow students to use it. For example, New York City public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use ChatGPT on the district’s networks (地区网络) and devices (设备).The measure (措施) comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread (传播) incorrect (不正确的) information.“It does not develop thinking quality (能力) and problem-solving skills, these are necessary for studying and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. Apart from bans (禁令), teachers are making changes to their classes to prevent the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far. Some people said that bans on AI software like.ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” What we need to dois“change our learning, teaching and examinations”. In that way, we can “have good faith (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.23. How does the writer start the passage?A．By giving some facts.B．By showing some opinions.C．By telling some stories.D．By asking some questions.24. What does Jenna Lyle think of ChatGPT?A．ChatGPT is the smartest AI chabot tool so far.B．ChatGPT is used to spread the wrong information.C．ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds.D．ChatGPT is necessary for studying and lifelong success.25. Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.B．ChatGPT will completely change the education.C．Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.D．Using ChatGPT will change the way of teaching.26. What’s the structure of the passage?（①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2,…）A．B．C．D．(★★★)阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
