单项填空
从下面各题所给的A B C D四个选项中, 选择可以坡入空白处的最佳选项。
1.一Tom, I can't find my dictionary!
一Don't worry. You can use _______________.
A. I B. me C. my D. mine
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——汤姆，我找不到我的字典！——别担心。你可以用我的。
考查代词。I我，主格；me我，宾格；my我的，形容词性物主代词；mine我的，名词性物主代词；根据
句意理解可知，这里表达的是“我的”，且指代的是“我的字典”，而空格后面没有名词dictionary，所以
这里应该用名词性物主代词，故选D。【点睛】英语中形容词性的物主代词和名词性的物主代词用法要注意区别，根据句子结构来判断，如果所
指代的名词有出现，就用形容词性的物主代词，如果没有所指代的名词，就要用名字性的物主代词代替。
做题要根据具体的句子来判断。
2.一Where is Mr. Brown?
一I think he's _____________ the music hall.
A. on B. in C. over D. from
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——布朗先生在哪里？——我想他在音乐厅。
考查介词辨析。on在……上；in在……里；over越过；from来自；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“在
音乐厅里”，英语是in the music hall，故选B。
3.Many people think Erquan rngyue is too sad, _____________ it's my favorite.
A. and B. so C. or D. but
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：很多人认为《二泉映月》太悲伤了，但它是我的最爱。
考查并列连词。and和；so所以；or或者；but但是；根据句意理解可知，前后两句表达的意思的相反的，
是转折关系，所以应该用转折关系的连词，故选D。
【点睛】英语中并列连词的选择主要是根据上下句句意来理解，如果关系是递进关系，就选择and，如果
是转折就选择but，如果是选择关系，就选择or。
4.一______________ do you have a medical examination?
一Once a year.
A. How soon B. How long C. How often D. How far
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你多久做一次体检？——一年一次。
考查特殊疑问句。How soon还有多久；How long多长时间；How often多久一次；How far多远；根据回答
Once a year可知，这里是提问频率“多久一次”，英语是how often，故选C。
【点睛】英语中常用的几个特殊疑问词的用法要注意区别。How often多久一次，提问频率；How soon还
有多久，提问将来时in+一段时间；How far多远，提问距离；How long多长，提问时间或具体的物体长度；
做题时注意区分。5.The notebook _______________ be Linda's because it has her name on it.
A. must B. may C. can D. might
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：笔记本一定是琳达的，因为上面有她的名字。
考查情态动词。must必须，一定；may可能；can能；might可能；根据句意理解可知，这里是对情态动词
的推测，由后句because it has her name on it可知，这里表达“一定，肯定”，所以应该用must，故选A。
【点睛】英语中情态动词的推测用法要牢记口诀：can不肯，may不问，must肯定不否问，做题要注意根
据句意理解来确定用哪个。
6.We don't think teenagers should be allowed to drive because they are not __________ enough.
A. serious B. more serious C. most serious D. the most serious
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们认为青少年不应该被允许开车，因为他们不够认真。
考查形容词。serious认真的；more serious更加认真的；most serious最认真的，前面缺少the；the most
serious最认真的；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“不是足够的认真”，没有与其他进行比较，所以这
里应该用原级，故选A。
7.When I was young, my mother ___________ by my side all the time.
A. stays B. is staying C. stayed D. will stay
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：我小的时候，我妈妈一直在我身边。
考查动词时态。stays停留，动词三单；is staying停留，现在进行时；stayed停留，过去时；will stay将待
在，一般将来时；根据句意理解可知，主句得动作是发生在When I was young的时候，表达的是过去的事
情，所以要用过去时，故选C。
8.Look! All my classmates ___________ on the playground.
A. are running B. ran C. were running D. run
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：看！我所有的同学都在操场上跑步。考查动词时态。are running正在跑，现在进行时；ran跑，过去时；were running正在跑，过去进行时；run
跑，一般现在时；根据句首的Look可知，句子应该用现在进行时，结构是am/ is/ are+doing形式，而句子
主语是All my classmates是复数名词，所以这里应该选择are，故选A。
【点睛】英语中如果句首出现Look/ Listen时，句子要用现在进行时，做题要注意区分。
9.1 like musicians ______ can write their own music.
A. which B. who C. where D. when
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我喜欢能自己创作音乐的音乐家。
考查定语从句。which关系代词，先行词指物；who关系代词，先行词指人；where关系副词，先行词指地
点；when关系副词，先行词指时间；根据句子结构分析可知，句中先行词是musicians“音乐家”，指人，
所以关系词应该是指人的关系词，且在从句中做主语，故选B。
【点睛】定语从句的关系代词的选择重点要看先行词是人还是物，如果先行词是人，就用关系词who/
whom/ that；如果先行词是物，就用关系词which/ that，做题时如果确定用关系代词要注意区分。
10.My father is a teacher and he ___________ in this school for about twenty years.
A. works B. is working C. was working D. has worked
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：我父亲是一名教师，他在这所学校工作了大约二十年。
考查时态。works工作，一般现在时的动词三单形式；is working正在工作，现在进行时；was working正在
工作，过去进行时；has worked工作，现在完成时；根据句意理解及句中for about twenty years可知，这是
现在完成时的标志词，所以要用现在完成时，结构是have/ has+过去分词，主语是he，所以用has，故选
D。
【点睛】英语中不同的时态，有不同的时间标志词。做题时首先要找句中的时间标志词，根据标志词来判
断时态，比如本题中for about twenty years是现在完成时的标志词，所以句子要用现在完成时。
11.The first 5G mobile phone ___________ by a Chinese company last year.
A. is produced B. produces C. was produced D. produced
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：第一款5G手机是去年由一家中国公司生产的。
考查被动语态。is produced被生产，一般现在时 的被动语态；produces生产，动词三单；was produced被生产，一般过去时的被动语态；produced生产，过去式；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“被生产”，所
以应该用被动结构，而时间是last year，所以应该用过去时的被动语态，故选C。
【点睛】英语中如果句子主语和谓语之间是动宾关系，则需要用被动结构，选择哪个时态的被动结构要看
句中的时态标志词或者某个关键词判断。比如本题mobile phone与produce之间是动宾关系，所以要用被
动语态，时间是last year，所以要用确定用一般过去时的被动语态。
12.一Do you know ________________________?
一Next Wednesday.
A. when will the winter vacation start B. when the winter vacation will start
C. when did the winter vacation start D. when the winter vacation started
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你知道寒假什么时候开始吗？——下周三。
考查宾语从句。根据句意理解可知，这里是宾语从句，首选宾语从句必须用“陈述句语序”，即引导词
+主语+谓语+其他，所以排除A/ C，再由回答Next Wednesday可知，这里应该用将来时，故选B。
【点睛】英语中宾语从句的考题做题时要注意。可以分三步走。第一步：确定引导词。根据句意理解来确
定用哪个词引导；第二步，看语序。根据“宾语从句必须用陈述句语序”的原则来排除一部分答案，比如
本题中B/ C答案是疑问句语序，直接排除；第三步，看时态。根据“主现从不限，主过从必过”的原则确
定从句时态，但要排除从句表达客观事实或者真理时只用现在时；利用这三点即可确定选项答案。

Years ago, we were, asked to create a newspaper in groups about world culture in our history class.
We first wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. Unluckily, Mrs. Bartlett, our teacher, didn't
put me in the group with any of my friends. Instead, I was with Mauro, who never spoke English, Juliette, who
always wore thick glasses and Rachel, who wore strange clothes. I had never talked to them. Oh, how badly I
wanted to be with my friends!
I was so sad that I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. "I know what you want, Karina, " she gently patted me on my
shoulder, "but your group needs a leader. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this project. Only you can
make it."
I was shocked.
"Will you help them?" she asked.
"Yes, " I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.
I bravely walked to my group and started our project. We had different tasks according to our interests.
Gradually, 1 felt myself enjoying their company. I found out Mauro was struggling with English. Behind Juliette's
thick glasses were her sparkling eyes. Rachel was so creative that she wanted to be a fashion designer. I realized
that they were not strange； they were just people that no one cared enough for-except Mrs. Bartlett. Her
thoughtfulness brought out the best in the four of us.
I learned something that week. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. I learned that who we,
are is more important than what we are or seem to be.
Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that project, but thought we should have handed it right back, for she was the
one who truly deserved it.

C
A Johns Hopkins University researcher, Melville J. Wohlgemuth, noticed that the hats he worked with turned
their heads to the side when hunting. "It's a lovely behavior, and I was curious about the purpose, " he said. "Iwanted to know when bats were doing this and why. It seemed to happen as hats were targeting prey（瞄准猎物）,
and that turned out to he the case."
Wohigemuth's team found that a bat's head and ear movements went with the animal's sonar vocalizations（声
纳发声）to help it hunt. The findings show how movements can strengthen signals used by senses like sight and
hearing-not just in bats, but in dogs and cats, and even in humans.
,
Bats' use of echo-location（回声定位）to find locate and catch prey is well documented. But the lead author
Wohlgemuth and his team are the first to show how the mysterious head and ear movements influence the hunt.
The researchers used a novel method to study the head and ear movements of the big brown bat, a common bat
species. First, researchers trained the bat to sit on a platform while tracking moving prey. After that, the researchers
fixed markers to the top of the bat's head and both ears. The markers allowed the team to measure the head and ear
positions as the bat tracked the prey moving in various directions.
They found the head movements took place when the prey changed direction or moved unpredictably. The ear
movements happened as the prey grew closer, which helped the bat hear the echoes it used to track and catch the
prey. Most notably, these head and ear movements went with the bat's vocalizations, allowing the animal to locate
where the prey exactly was.
Co-author Cynthia F. Moss said other similar studies missed the importance of head and ear movements,
because laboratories usually observed the subject with a fixed head position. That's not how animals operate in the
real world, when their heads are free to move.
Moss compared the bat's head and ear movements to those of other species that use active sensing to process
important information. "By studying these movements, " she said, "we as humans can get insight into how
movements help animals sense their environment."
27. The research of Wohlgemuth and his team is the first to prove that ___________ ·
A. head and ear movements help bats locate the prey
B. animals send signals to help them hunt more quickly
C. humans learn to hunt by copying animals' movements
D. sonar vocalizations can work for both animals and humans
28. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ___________ .
A. how the bat uses head and ear movements to track moving prey
B. how the researchers studied the head and ear movements of the bat
C. how the bat is trained to track the prey by moving its head and earsD. how the researchers measured the moving hat's head and ear positions
29. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Bats: A Master of Night Hunting B. Bats: A Model of Fast Movements
C. Bats: An Expert of Exact Location D. Bats: An Example of Mysterious Animals
【答案】27. A 28. B 29. C
【解析】
文章主要介绍的是研究人员通过研究蝙蝠捕捉猎物时头部的转动来证实神秘的头部和耳朵运动是如何影响
狩猎的。以及这些运动如何帮助动物感知环境。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中 Wohigemuth’s team found that a bat’s head and ear movements went with the animal’s
sonar vocalizations（声纳发声）to help it hunt.及Bats’ use of echo-location（回声定位）to find, locate and
catch prey is well documented.蝙蝠的头部和耳朵的运动有助于蝙蝠捕猎，蝙蝠利用回声定位来发现和定位猎
物，故选A。
【28题详解】
段意概括题。根据文中 The researchers used a novel method to study the head and ear movements of the big
brown bat, a common bat species.研究人员使用了一种新的方法来研究一种常见的蝙蝠大棕色蝙蝠的头部和
耳朵运动。可知答案，故选B。
【29题详解】
最佳标题题。根据整篇文章的理解可知，主要讲述的是研究蝙蝠如何通过头部和耳朵的运动来更好的准确
地定位猎物，以便更好的捕捉猎物，所以C选项比较符合，故选C。
D
Our brains believe information automatically（自动地）-even if it's false-because we can learn efficiently
this way. "We're learning false information not because we're poor learners or not working hard, " says David Rapp,
a psychology and education professor at Northwestern University. "In many cases, it's a useful skill for us to accept
what people tell us, because often what people tell us is true."
When we hear new information, those fresh facts don't cover what we knew before. We'll draw on old or new
information when the situation comes up. ___________ . Short-term memories are easier for our brains to access
than facts we heard longer ago, because they're fresher in our minds-even if they're wrong. Since we have to think
back further to remember old information, we will often ignore it in favour of new inaccurate（不准确的）
information. New information is what we're currently thinking about or has been recently presented to us, while theold one isn't as readily available.
We also buy into the facts that seem more reasonable. Often, this means they fit better with what we want to
believe, which can explain why people quote different facts in political debates. Both candidates said something
that was objectively true or not, but people would go with what they hope to be true.
Things get even trickier when truth and falsehood coexist in the information. For instance, our brains aren't
sure whether to believe the descriptions of London in Harry Potter. "Don't look for that train station to Hogwarts,
but there might be streets mentioned that are real, " says Dr. Rapp. In fact, our brains can keep track of what's true
or false by mentally tagging（标记）facts as either true or false, but sorting all that information takes time. In

【答案】例文
It’s well-known that there’s no shortcut to success but hard work. One of my experiences helps me realize the
truth again.As I entered Grade 9, I found I had difficulty in speaking English freely. Therefore, I decided to improve my
oral English by taking the following measures.
First, I kept on listening to tapes and reading aloud to improve my pronunciation. Second, I tried to read
English books where I could learn many native expressions. Although it was quite challengeable, I managed to
develop it into a habit. Thanks to my great effort, I am comfortable speaking English now.
I have learned the great value of hard work through this process. I not only feel a sense of achievement but
also find the pleasure in hard work as it helps me discover my potential. I believe the more hard-working I am, the
much happier I will be.
