A
A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grirmsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.
Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.
The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp. Glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash- covered grass to the sharp object.
1. What makes Grimsvom different from other volcanoes
A. It is below ice.
B. It lies under the sea
C. It is the largest volcano
D. It is lava affects the airlines
2. Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption
A. People stop traveling in Europe
B. Airlines suffer from the loss of planes
C. It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside
D. Farmers have lost many of their animals
3. This text is most probably taken from________
A. a research paper
B. a newspaper report
C. a class presentation
D. a geography textbook.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier of ice up to 12 meters thick.(Grimsvomde不同之处在于，它位于一个12米厚的巨大冰川下)”可知，Grimsvotn不同于其它火山的地方在于它位于12米后的巨大冰层下。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash- covered grass to the sharp object. (火山喷发也给冰岛的动物造成了问题。农民让他们的动物留在室内，避免它们吃那些火山灰覆盖的草和尖锐的物体)”可知，火山喷发让动物在外面吃东西变得很危险。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.(冰岛的一次火山爆发引发了席卷北欧的火山灰。航空公司已经停止或改变了横跨大西洋的航班，导致数百名乘客被困在机场)”以及下文内容可知，文章讲述了冰岛的火山爆发，简要的火山地理位置和稳定的原因以及火山爆发后的影响，比较简洁完整，是新闻的特点，因此推断很可能选自报纸报道。故选B。

I visited Aruba last week. On the first day, I mainly enjoyed comfortable sunshine on the beaches there. But I needed more than sunshine and sand to fill my week.
I rented a car the next day. One of my first stops that day was the Alto Vista Chapel, a historic north-side Roman Catholic churchy Just as I entered it, a colourful “party bus” filled with singing tourists pulled into the parking lot, ending the silence. So I left soon.
From the church I made my way to the California Lighthouse, named for the steamship California that sank nearby in 1891. After spending some time there, I went to La Trattoria El Faro Blanco, an Italian restaurant that sits on top of the hill and offers scenic views.
I love golfing, so I wasn't going on vacation without spending a day on the courses. The Tierra del Sol Country Club is for golfing on the islands located at its northwest point. Opened in 1995, it is a beautiful place with views of the sea and the California Lighthouse. I spent a full day there.
To completely escape from the other tourists, I booked a four-hour jeep tour for the fourth day. I went to the Arikok National Park, which covers nearly 20 percent of the islands I stood on a cliff and looked down on a natural pool that was formed inside volcanic rock (火山岩). It was amazing.
My final night was spent at Madame Janette Restaurant, Friends who had been to Aruba told me I had to go there. I dined there while listening to a local musician performing the Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It was so good and the crowd demanded more.

Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day？If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a “night owl”．
Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？And is one better than the other？There are different opinions.
Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.
Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.
Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规)．After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学)may play the biggest role.
It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.
8. The author introduces the subject by ________.
A. telling an interesting story
B. giving different opinions
C. showing research results
D. asking a question
9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean
A. Those who get up early achieve their goals.
B. Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.
C. “Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”.
D. “Early birds” are as hard-working as “night owls”.
10. What did the researchers find in a Belgian study
A. Late risers become sleepier than early risers.
B. Early risers become as focused as later risers.
C. Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours.
D. Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.
11. What opinion does the author finally agree to
A. People should get up early.
B. Whatever time suits you, it’s OK.
C. Staying up late is good for health.
D. It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了“early bird”和 “night owl”哪一个更好？研究发现夜猫子白天的思维更加敏捷，最后作者认为这两种方式无所谓哪一个更好，人们应该做适合自己的事情。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？ And is one better than the other？ There are different opinions.”可知作者提出了一个问题：哪一种方式更好？以此问题引出要讨论的话题。故D项正确。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段第一句“Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy.”告诉我们早起的人常常被认为很努力，而晚起的人通常被认为懒惰。因此推断人们会认为早起的人足够勤奋能够实现他们的目标。故该句与A项语意一致，故A项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的).”可知"晚间型"的人在清醒了10小时以后，思维很敏捷。故C项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一句“But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.”可知只要你高兴早起或熬夜。你可能按自己的生物钟做事情效率最好。因此推断作者认为无论什么时间适合你，都可以。故B项正确。
D
For children, communication with older adults is important when visits with grandparents are called off because of the pandemic(流行病).
Even before COVID-19 sent older adults into hiding, grandparents and great-grandparents could often seem like strangers to kids. Contact might include gifts of toys meant for someone a little younger, forced piano performances by parents, and really bad jokes. So, coming up with what to say to those out -of-touch people through a camera can be hard. It can be a lot of pressure for kids.
Yet keeping up with older relatives has mental and physical health benefits for everyone. According to studies, older adults who participate in programming between generations show more happiness, better self-care. And a strong relationship between grandparents and grandchildren can lessen depressive tendencies(抑郁倾向) in both adults and kids.
Having an actual relationship with a grandparent can also help children develop qualities that make all-around great citizens. “Children are born to be me, me, me,” says Tina-Anne Praas of SKIP, an Ontario-based organization. “But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking. They can gain some worldly points of view.”
Being close with a grandparent can also help children develop communication skills, especially when they’re able to learn about and compare their experiences with a grandparent’s. And it doesn’t carry the pressure of talking to a parent.
Tina-Anne Praas adds that students who were worried about life after graduation eagerly listen to older adults sharing their own experiences from the same time of life, 50-plus years ago. One student says, “My interactions(互动) with my grandparents encouraged me to become a physician.”
12. What causes much stress for kids
A. Playing the piano in public.
B. Communicating with grandparents online.
C. Buying gifts for other younger children.
D. Being out of touch with parents for a long time.
13. What does the underlined phrase “that thinking” refer to in paragraph 4
A. Seeing an experienced person.
B. Kids’ own ideas about the world.
C. Children’s care of themselves only.
D. Keeping contact with grandparents.
14. What is Tina-Anne Praas’ attitude towards communication between generations
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Uncertain. D. Worried.
15. Grandchildren benefit from older relatives by____.
A. listening to stories online
B. watching what they do daily
C. forming new ideas about themselves
D. communicating and interacting with them
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，祖父母和孙辈之间的密切关系可以减轻成年人和孩子的抑郁倾向，有帮助孩子培养成为全面优秀公民的素质、发展沟通技能等好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, coming up with what to say to those out -of-touch people through a camera can be hard. It can be a lot of pressure for kids. (所以，想办法通过摄像头对那些不来往的人说些什么是很困难的。这对孩子们来说压力很大。)”可知，与祖父母在线交流给孩子带来了很大的压力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中““Children are born to be me, me, me,” says Tina-Anne Praas of SKIP, an Ontario-based organization. “But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking. They can gain some worldly points of view.”(“孩子们生来就是我，我，我，”安大略组织SKIP的Tina-Anne Praas说。“但看到一个经历过人生阶段的人，他们就会放弃这种想法。他们可以获得一些世俗的观点。”)”由孩子生来就是只在乎自己到这种想法发生了转变，可知，划线短语that thinking指的是“孩子们只会在乎自己”这种想法。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking. They can gain some worldly points of view.”(“但看到一个经历过人生阶段的人，他们就会放弃这种想法。他们可以获得一些世俗的观点。”)”可知，Tina-Anne Praas认为，代际交流让孩子只在乎自己的这种想法发生了转变，由此可见，Tina-Anne Praas对代际交流是支持的态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Tina-Anne Praas adds that students who were worried about life after graduation eagerly listen to older adults sharing their own experiences from the same time of life, 50-plus years ago. One student says, “My interactions(互动) with my grandparents encouraged me to become a physician.”(Tina-Anne Praas补充说，那些担心毕业后生活的学生热切地倾听老年人分享他们50多年前在同一时期的经历。一个学生说：“我和祖父母的互动鼓励我成为一名医生。”)”可知，孙辈通过与年长的亲属交流和互动而受益。故选D项。

【分析】这是一篇哲理性的故事。一个孤独的小女孩很渴望爱。一天，她遇到两只快要饿死的小鸟，就带回家养着，鸟也反馈给她很多的爱。一天，一只鸟飞出了笼子，小女孩怕鸟飞走，当鸟靠近她时，她太用力把鸟捏死了。同时，她感受到了另一只鸟渴望自由，就把另一只鸟放了。鸟落在她肩膀唱起了最甜美的歌。这个故事告诉我们：握得太紧爱就会失去，保存爱的方式是给它自由。
【16题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前一句话意思是：一天她走在森林里时发现了两只快要饿死的鸟。空格后一句话意思是：她用爱来关心它们，小鸟长得很强壮。可推知，小女孩把小鸟带回了家。选项D中的“took them home”符合语境，并且选项D中的“a small cage”与下文中的cage呼应。故选D。
【17题详解】
空格位于段首。由空格后的The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.（大点强壮点的鸟从笼子里飞了出去）可知，笼子门被打开了。选项F中的“left the door of the cage open”符合情境。故选F。
【18题详解】
空格位于段中。空格上句意思为：她成功抓住了鸟她很开心。空格下句意思为：她张开手，惊恐的发现鸟死了。选项G中的she felt the bird go softly（她感觉到鸟变软）符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
空格位于段中。空格后句意为：鸟盘旋了一次、两次、三次。由“circle（盘旋）”可知，小女孩把鸟放了出去，因为小笼子里太小鸟无法盘旋。选项E中的threw him softly into the air符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前句意为：小女孩开心的看着鸟的乐趣。空格后一句意思为：她想要鸟高兴。可知本段是一个快乐的基调，选项A中的“no longer concerned with her loss（不再关注在失去上）”符合语境。故选A。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。本文是一篇记叙文，相对来说比较容易，同学们只要按照事件发生顺序合情推断就可以解出一些题。但是要确定自己做的答案是否正确，还是需要一定的检查技能。例如第一题根据句意选好答案后，我们可以认为Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song与home 呼应， a small cage 与下文中的 small cage也呼应。所以确定答案正确。第二题one day是引出故事的常用词。第三题suddenly与in horror呼应，第四题into the air 与 circle 呼应，且与上段中的great need for freedom 呼应，与文章最后一句中的 give it wings 呼应。第五题心情基调一致。这些技巧是我们第一遍做完题进一步确认答案的方法，大家多积累。

【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：直到最近医生们才发现了这种疾病的病因。由It was not until recently及句意可知，句子是“直到......才......”的强调句，结构为it is/was not until...that...，因此空格处是that，故填that。

【答案】to have spread
【解析】

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：每个艺术家的愿望都是创造能够表达想法的东西。分析句子可知，提示词create(创造)在句中作表语，是非谓语动词，结合句意可知，“(create) something that expresses an idea”是每个艺术家的愿望，是他们想要去做的事情，应用动词不定式形式to create，表将要发生的动作。故填to create。

【答案】whose
【解析】

【答案】to arrive
【解析】
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们已达成协议，最后一个到达的人应支付餐费。本句包含that引导的同位语从句，从句中谓语should pay，提示arrive作非谓语动词，名词前有the last修饰时要用不定式作定语，故填to arrive。
71. Only if a teacher has given permission _________a student allowed to enter the room. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】is
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：只有老师给予许可学生才能被允许进入这个房间。分析句子可知，“only+if条件状语从句”置句首，主句用部分倒装句，根据上文的has given可知，用一般现在时，主语a student与谓语动词allow是被动关系，且主语是第三人称单数，用助动词is，故填is。
72. Follow your teacher’s advice, _________you’ll be left behind by your classmates. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】or
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句。句意：听从老师的建议，否则你就会被同学甩在后面了。分析句子结构可知，此处为“祈使句+and/or的结构”；前后句之间为转折关系；因此需要使用or表示“否则”的意思。故填or。

【答案】but
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意：不是他而是你应该为这件事负责。根据句意，应用not...but...“不是……而是……”，符合题意，故填but。

【答案】defeated
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管我们在比赛中输了，但是我们不灰心。分析句子可知，此处是状语从句的省略，defeat与逻辑主语we是被动关系，故用过去分词作状语，故填defeated。
75. By the end of 2019, he ________（collect）more than a thousand foreign stamps. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had collected
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：到2019年末，他已经收集了超过一千张外国邮票。collect表示“收集”，在句中作谓语动词，by the end of表示“到......为止”，2019年是过去的时间，所以句子使用过去完成时态。故填had collected。

A
A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grirmsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.
Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.
The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp. Glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash- covered grass to the sharp object.

A. It is below ice.
B It lies under the sea
C. It is the largest volcano
D. It is lava affects the airlines
2. Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption
A. People stop traveling in Europe
B. Airlines suffer from the loss of planes
C. It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside

3. This text is most probably taken from________
A. a research paper

C. a class presentation
D. a geography textbook.
B
I visited Aruba last week. On the first day, I mainly enjoyed comfortable sunshine on the beaches there. But I needed more than sunshine and sand to fill my week.
I rented a car the next day. One of my first stops that day was the Alto Vista Chapel, a historic north-side Roman Catholic churchy Just as I entered it, a colourful “party bus” filled with singing tourists pulled into the parking lot, ending the silence. So I left soon.
From the church I made my way to the California Lighthouse, named for the steamship California that sank nearby in 1891. After spending some time there, I went to La Trattoria El Faro Blanco, an Italian restaurant that sits on top of the hill and offers scenic views.
I love golfing, so I wasn't going on vacation without spending a day on the courses. The Tierra del Sol Country Club is for golfing on the islands located at its northwest point. Opened in 1995, it is a beautiful place with views of the sea and the California Lighthouse. I spent a full day there.
To completely escape from the other tourists, I booked a four-hour jeep tour for the fourth day. I went to the Arikok National Park, which covers nearly 20 percent of the islands I stood on a cliff and looked down on a natural pool that was formed inside volcanic rock (火山岩). It was amazing.
My final night was spent at Madame Janette Restaurant, Friends who had been to Aruba told me I had to go there. I dined there while listening to a local musician performing the Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It was so good and the crowd demanded more.
4. Why did the author leave the Alto Vista Chapel soon
A. Because he didn’t like the party there.
B. Because he didn’t find a place for his car.
C. Because there were too many tourist.
D. Because some tourists made the place noisy.
5. What did the author mainly do on the third day

Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day？If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a “night owl”．
Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？And is one better than the other？There are different opinions.
Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.
Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.
Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规)．After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学)may play the biggest role.
It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.
8. The author introduces the subject by ________.
A. telling an interesting story
B. giving different opinions
C. showing research results
D. asking a question
9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean
A. Those who get up early achieve their goals.

For children, communication with older adults is important when visits with grandparents are called off because of the pandemic(流行病).
Even before COVID-19 sent older adults into hiding, grandparents and great-grandparents could often seem like strangers to kids. Contact might include gifts of toys meant for someone a little younger, forced piano performances by parents, and really bad jokes. So, coming up with what to say to those out -of-touch people through a camera can be hard. It can be a lot of pressure for kids.
Yet keeping up with older relatives has mental and physical health benefits for everyone. According to studies, older adults who participate in programming between generations show more happiness, better self-care. And a strong relationship between grandparents and grandchildren can lessen depressive tendencies(抑郁倾向) in both adults and kids.
Having an actual relationship with a grandparent can also help children develop qualities that make all-around great citizens. “Children are born to be me, me, me,” says Tina-Anne Praas of SKIP, an Ontario-based organization. “But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking. They can gain some worldly points of view.”
Being close with a grandparent can also help children develop communication skills, especially when they’re able to learn about and compare their experiences with a grandparent’s. And it doesn’t carry the pressure of talking to a parent.
Tina-Anne Praas adds that students who were worried about life after graduation eagerly listen to older adults sharing their own experiences from the same time of life, 50-plus years ago. One student says, “My interactions(互动) with my grandparents encouraged me to become a physician.”
12. What causes much stress for kids
A. Playing the piano in public.
B. Communicating with grandparents online.
C. Buying gifts for other younger children.
D. Being out of touch with parents for a long time.
13. What does the underlined phrase “that thinking” refer to in paragraph 4
A. Seeing an experienced person.
B. Kids’ own ideas about the world.
C Children’s care of themselves only.
D. Keeping contact with grandparents.
14. What is Tina-Anne Praas’ attitude towards communication between generations
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Uncertain. D. Worried.
15. Grandchildren benefit from older relatives by____.
A. listening to stories online
B. watching what they do daily
C. forming new ideas about themselves
D. communicating and interacting with them
