答案 A C B D D F D B C
1．C
【詳解】句意：這就是我跟你說過兩遍的那部電影。我從未看過比這更棒的一部電影了。
考查冠詞。a一（表泛指，用于輔音音素前）；an一（表泛指，用于元音音素前）；the這/那（表特指）。第一空“This is...film that I’ve told you twice.”特指“告訴過你兩次的那部電影”，應用定冠詞the；第二空“I’ve never seen...more wonderful one.”則是泛指“一部更棒的電影”，more以輔音音素發音開頭，應用不定冠詞a。故選C。
2．C
【詳解】句意：——你已經完成你的作業了嗎？——不，我還沒有完成。
考查副詞辨析。till直到；yet仍然，還，常用于現在完成時否定句或疑問句；already已經，常用于現在完成時的肯定句。根據句意可知，現在完成時的否定句或疑問句中通常用yet。故選C。
3．D
【詳解】句意：在我們城市的新電影院已經開業兩個月了。但是我沒去過。
考查現在完成時。根據時間狀語“for two months” 可知謂語動詞使用延續性動詞，時態用現在完成時，open開始營業，非延續性動詞，不能和一段時間連用。be open營業，延續性動詞，所以第一個空格處填has been open；have gone to sp.已經去了某地，沒有回來，說話人不在說話人地方；have been to sp.：去過某地，已經回來了，說話人在說話的地方，由語境可知此句說話人在說話的地方，用have been to sp.，there是地點副詞，省略介詞to。故選D。
4．B
【詳解】句意：他的作業太多了，他不知道該如何處理。
考查“疑問詞+不定式”結構。根據“There is too much homework”結合選項可知，是指“不知道如何處理作業”，用what to do with it或how to deal with it來表示，故選B。
5．C
【詳解】句意：地上有很多雪。如果你騎得太快，你將會摔倒。
考查動詞短語辨析。fall asleep入睡；fall behind落后；fall over摔跤；fall out掉落。根據“There is too much snow on the ground. If you ride much too fast, you will...”可知，地上雪多，騎得太快會摔倒。故選C。
6．C
【詳解】句意：他的爺爺奶奶單獨住在一個小房子里，但是并不感到孤獨。
考查形容詞和副詞的用法。alone作形容詞時，意思為“獨自的，單獨的”只能做表語，做副詞時意思為“獨自，單獨”；lonely作形容詞意思為“孤獨的，寂寞的，偏僻的，荒涼的”，既可作定語又可作表語。alone強調客觀上“無伴，獨自一人”；而lonely表示“感情上孤獨，寂寞”，強調內心的主觀感受。第一空需要填副詞alone，表達“獨自、單獨”的意思，修飾動詞live；第二空需要填形容詞lonely，表達“孤獨的，寂寞的”意思，作表語。故選C。
7．D
【詳解】句意：——我必須一到學校就交作業嗎？——不，你不必。你可以再保留一天，看看是否有錯誤。
考查動詞辨析。can’t不能；don’t have to不必；mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必；hand in上交；keep保留。根據“Must I hand in the homework as soon as I get to school ”可知，句子是含情態動詞must的一般疑問句，否定回答用don’t have to或者needn’t；再根據“the homework for another day”可知，是指作業可以再保留一天。故選D。
8．C
【詳解】句意：我們的老師總是告訴我們要按時完成作業。
考查介詞短語。at a time每次；at times有時；on time按時；at one time一度。根據“finish our homework”可知是按時完成作業，故選C。
9．D
【詳解】句意：——鮑勃，我想買輛車，但是我沒有足夠的錢。你有什么好主意嗎？ ——為什么不買第二只呢？我表姐有一輛完好無損的二手車。
考查名詞辨析。information信息；pollution污染；communication交流；condition狀況。根據語境及“My cousin has a used car in perfect…”可知，此處是指車輛狀況好，be in good condition“處于良好狀態”符合語境。故選D。
10．B
【詳解】句意：——多么熱的一天啊！請你給我一些飲料好嗎？——愿意效勞。
考查交際運用。That’s all right.不要緊沒關系。With pleasure.愿意效勞（用于別人請求你做某事，你很樂意去做的時候。）It doesn’t matter.沒關系。My pleasure.別客氣。（用來回答對方的感謝）。根據前句是別人的請求。故選B。

A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. What time is it She looks at the alarm clock beside the bed. It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the thunderstorm. He’s shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside.
Jan gets dressed, puts on her anorak and goes downstairs quietly. She meets Tom outside.
“What are you doing, Tom ”
“The storm,” he says. “It’s the same storm as Thursday night. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!”
Jan follows Tom down the road then she remembers something.
“The time capsule!”
Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.”
They walk quickly back down the road past Jamie’s house and Pauly’s house. It seems so long since she arrived here in the past. And now maybe there’s the possibility she can return to the future. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree.
“Now what do we do ” asks Jan.
“I put the time capsule back where I found it and....”
“And I go home.”
“Yes.”
Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries the time capsule and then stands up.
Jan suddenly realizes something.
“Tom! I wanted to give you something from the time capsule.”
“No, it’s OK. I don’t want anything and it’s more important for you to go home.”
Jan feels disappointed that Tom doesn’t want something to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home.

Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon is one of the greatest sporting achievements recording a time that has never been achieved before. It is a time on the fringes (邊緣) of what scientists believe is humanly possible.
“It is a great feeling to make history in sport after Sir Roger Bannister(the first man torun a sub-four-minute mile) in 1954. I am the happiest man in the world to be the first human to run under two hours and I can tell people that no human is limited,” Kipchoge said afterwards.
Is he right Where are the limits of human ability And how close are we to reaching them
Raph Brandon, head of science for England cricket (板球), distinguishes (區分) between achievements which are limited by human anatomy (解剖學) and those which require human determination or skill.
“When Bolt ran 9.58 seconds, if you look at the divided times, it’s very hard to imagine where the improvement comes from,” said Brandon, “The Usain Bolt 100m or the two-hour marathon, they’re in the same group.”
“They need determination and psychology to go that little bit further. They will continue to do unique things because they’re not really taking the body to its anatomical (解剖學的) limit. It’s more a question of how much they’re prepared to exhaust (使筋疲力盡) themselves.”
Equipment has been a factor for many sports. The American football receivers wear gloves that enable them to make incredible one-handed catches. The British cycling team won at the Olympics because of their amazing new clothing technology.
But the line between what is fair and unfair is blurry. Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour run will not be officially recognized He ran behind a car which sent a green laser (激光) on to the ground in front of him. Teams of pacemakers, 41 in total, ran in a v-shape to protect him from headwinds. He wore specially designed shoes and the time and date of the event were picked only after detailed weather forecasting.
Perhaps the final limit is inside athletes’ heads. Recent studies have shown athletes can push themselves harder because of their perception (感知) of exhaustion.
Other researches which looked at gold medalists found that they had often had shocking and upsetting life experiences and suffered great difficulties during their careers and they had personality of determination, perseverance (不屈不撓) and perfectionism.
So whether or not those limits have been reached, there will be no shortage of people prepared to try to go beyond them.
31．Why is Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon considered a great achievement
A．It pushed the limits of human’s anatomical ability.
B．It recorded a time that had been achieved only once.
C．It was in the same group as the Usain Bolt’s 100msprint.
D．It broke the record kept by Sir Roger Bannister.
32．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon
A．It won’t be officially recognized. B．The weather was suitable for the run.
C．The headwinds helped him run faster. D．The run had been carefully planned.
33．What does the underlined word “blurry” mean according to the context (上下文)
A．clear B．unclear C．straight D．unreal
34．Which of the following can be learned from the text
A．Sports achievements require human determination mainly.
B．Exhaustion prevents athletes from achieving better results
C．An athlete who has won many gold medals must have suffered a painful life.
D．An athlete’s success may depend more on his life experiences and personality.
