參考答案

一、單項填空（每題0.5分，共3分）

從下面各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇可以填入空白處的最佳選項。

1MyfavoriteinventorisWangXuan.storiesinspiremetofollowmydream.

A.HisB.YourC.MyD.Their

【答案】A

【解析】

【詳解】句意：我最喜歡的發(fā)明家是王選，他的故事激勵我追隨我的夢想。

考查代詞辨析。His他的；Your你的；My我的；Their他們的。根據"MyfavoriteinventorisWang

Xuan.…storiesinspiremetofollowmydream."可知，代詞His"他的"，指代”王選的故事”，與句子的整

體語境相契合。故選A。

2.1usuallypracticespeakingEnglishwithmyfriendsTuesdayevening.

A.toB.onC.inD.at

【答案】B

【解析】

【詳解】句意：在星期二晚上我通常和我的朋友們一起練習說英語。

考查介詞辨析。to至IJ,通常表示方向或目的；on在，用于表示具體某一天或某一天的上午、下午、晚上；

in在，主要用于表示較長的時間段，如年、月、季節(jié)、世紀等，或表示泛指的上午、下午、晚上；at在，

通常用于表示具體的時間點，如幾點幾分，或表示某些固定短語中的時間。根據“Tuesdayevening”指的

是具體的某一天的晚上。故選B。

3.一Look!LinlinwithanAIrobotoverthere.

一Cool!Lefsgoandjointhem.

A.chatsB.chattedC.ischattingD.waschatting

【答案】C

【解析】

【詳解】句意：——看！琳琳正在那邊與一個AI機器人聊天。——太酷了！讓我們去加入他們吧。

考查動詞的時態(tài)。chats聊天，第三人稱單數形式；chatted過去式或過去分詞；ischatting現在進行時；was

chatting過去進行時。根據“Look”可知表示正在進行的動作，用現在進行時bedoing。故選C。

4.Peterisinterestedinpainting,hewantstojointheArtClub.

A.orB.soC.butD.for

【答案】B

【解析】

【詳解】句意：Peter對繪畫感興趣，所以他想加入美術俱樂部。

考查連詞辨析。or或者；so所以；but但是；fbr為，給。根據“Peterisinterestedinpainting,...hewantsto

jointheArtChib.”可知，PeterB。

5.ThenovelMobyDickbymoreandmorebookloversnowadays.

A.readB.readsC.isreadD.wasread

【答案】C

【解析】

【詳解】句意：如今，越來越多的愛書人讀《莫比?迪克》這部小說。

考查一般現在時的被動語態(tài)。根據"Thenovel”可知，主語和動詞read之間為被動關系，因此應用被動語

態(tài)；再根據"nowadays”可知，時態(tài)應用一般現在時，因此應用一般現在時的被動語態(tài)，基本結構為

am/is/are+doneo故選C。

6.一DoyouknowtheTiangongspacestation?

一OnOctober30,2024.

A.whentheShenzhou-19astronautsenteredB.whendidtheShenzhou-19astronautsenter

C.whentheShenzhou-19astronautswillenterD.whenwilltheShenzhou-19astronautsenter

【答案】A

【解析】

【詳解】句意：——你知道神舟十九號宇航員什么時候進入天宮空間站嗎？在2024年10月30日。

考查賓語從句的語序和時態(tài)。根據"Doyouknow...theTiangongspacestation?”可知，該句為賓語從句，要

用陳述句語序，選項B和D語序錯誤；根據回答“OnOctober30,2024”可知，時態(tài)為一般過去時，C選項

錯誤。故選A。

閱讀下面的短文，用括號中所給單詞的正確形式填入空白處，補全文章。

Inventionsareimportant.Sinceancienttimes,Chineseinventions7(play)animportantroleinpushing

humancivilization(文明)forward.Manypeoplearoundtheworldhaveheardaboutandevenbenefitedfromearly

Chinese8(discovery)inmedicineandengineering.Instudyingtheseinventionsandtechnology,peoplecan

9(journey)throughtimetouncoverthesewonderfulcreations5origins(起源)importance,andlong-lasting

influence,whichcansupportthefuturedevelopment.

【答案】7.haveplayed

8.discoveries

9.journey

【解析】

【導語】本文主要介紹了中國古代的發(fā)明。

【7題詳解】

句意:從古代開始，中國發(fā)明在推動人類文明向前發(fā)展中發(fā)揮了重要作用。根據時間狀語“Sinceancient

times”可知，句子時態(tài)為現在完成時。其結構為：主語+have/has+動詞過去分詞+其它，主語Chinese

inventions“中國發(fā)明”為復數，故空格處應用haveplayedo故填haveplayedo

【8題詳解】

句意：世界上許多人聽說過，甚至受益于中國早期在醫(yī)學和工程學上的發(fā)現。根據“fromearlyChinese…

（discovery）inmedicineandengineering”可知，此處表示在醫(yī)學和工程學上的發(fā)現，發(fā)現不止有一個，所以

應用discovery的復數形式discoverieso故填discoverieso

【9題詳解】

句意：人們可以穿越時間，揭示這些奇妙創(chuàng)造的起源的重要性和持久的影響，這可以支持未來的發(fā)展。根

據“peoplecan...journeythroughtimetouncoverthesewonderfulcreations?origins（起源）importance,and

long-lastinginfluence,whichcansupportthefuturedevelopment.”可知，此處表示可以穿越時間，情態(tài)動詞

can后跟動詞原形。故填journey。
