一、单项填空
1. —Look at that girl! Is it Zhuoma
—No. It ________ be her. Zhuoma has gone to her hometown.
A．mustn't B．needn't C．can D．can't
【答案】D
【解析】 考查情态动词。mustn't意为“禁止”；needn't意为“不必”；can意为“可以”；can't意为“不可能”。根据“Zhuoma has gone to her hometown.”可推断这不是卓玛，因此用情态动词can't，故选D。
2. You _______ be able to control all the things that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
A．need not B．may not C．must not D．should not
【答案】B
【解析】考查情态动词。need not意为“不需要”； may not意为“可能不”； must not意为“禁止，不能”； should not意为“不应该”。根据句中“but you can decide not to be reduced by them”可知，此处使用may not表示推测，故选B。
3.Since the road is muddy, it ________ last night, ________？
A．must be rained; wasn't it B．must have rained; didn't it
C．must rained; didn't it D．must have rained; wasn't it
【答案】B
【解析】考查情态动词表推测以及反意疑问句。must have done表示对已发生事情的推测。根据“Since the road is muddy”可推测昨天晚上一定下雨了，故第一空应该填must have rained; 陈述句谓语部分是“must have rained”，而且有表示过去的时间状语“last night”，所以第二空应该用didn't。故选B。
4. You haven’t eaten all day. You be very hungry.
A. couldn’t be B. can’t C. might D. must
【答案】D
【解析】考查情态动词。句意: 你一整天都没吃东西。你一定很饿了。表示语气强烈的肯定推测用must。
5. You are not allowed to play with fire in the forest. It kill plants, animals and even people.
A. might B. might not C. should D. should not

6. —Whose textbook is it Is it Jenny’s
—No, it be Jenny’s. Look, Helen’s name is on the cover. I think it be Helen’s.
A. can’t; must B. mustn’t; must C. can’t; may D. mustn’t; may
【答案】A
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:“这是谁的课本 是珍妮的吗 ”“不是,它不可能是珍妮的。封面上有海伦的名字,我认为一定是海伦的。”can’t意为“不可能”;must意为“必须,一定”; mustn’t 意为“禁止”;may意为“可能”。根据“No”可知第一空表示的是否定的推测,用can’t表示“不可能”。根据“封面上有海伦的名字”可知,第二空是肯定的推测,用must表示“一定”。故选A。
7.The designer has tried every possible way to make the robot light, so you _____ worry about its weight..
A. must B. may C. can’t D. needn’t
【答案】D
【解析】句意：设计者已经尝试了所有可能的方法使机器变轻，所以你不必担心它的重量。must必须；一定；may可以；可能；can’t不能；不可能；needn’t不必，没有必要。根据句意The designer has tried every possible way to make the robot light可知，设计者在努力使机器变轻，所以担心是没有必要的。故应选D。
8.As middle school students, we follow the public rules wherever we go．（2019，山东青岛卷）
A. would B. should C. might D. could
【答案】B
【解析】句意：作为中学生，无论去哪里，我们都应该遵守公共规则。A. would将会；B. should应该；C. might可能；D. could可以。should 作为情态动词，通常用来表示现在或将来的责任或义务，译作“应该”、“应当”。故答案为B。
9.-Some people don't show their talents at the very beginning.
-I agree. Even Einstein ____________ read until he was seven.
A. can't B. mustn't C. couldn't D. needn't
【答案】C
【解析】句意：——有些人在一开始并没有展示他们的才能。——我同意。爱因斯坦甚至直到七岁才识字。考查情态动词辨析。can't 不能，表示没有能力，couldn't是其过去式；mustn't不能，表禁止；needn't不需要，指没有必要。根据Some people don't show their talents at the very beginning.可知七岁前几乎没有能力读书，根据until he was seven可知用一般过去时，故选C。
10.-It's too hot._ ______ I swim in the lake
-No, you____. That's too dangerous!
A. Should; can't B. Need; mustn't C. Must; needn't D. Could; can't
【答案】D
【解析】考查情态动词的辨析。should表示“应该，应当”；must表示“必须”；need意为“需要”；mustn’t表示“禁止，不允许”；needn't意为“不需要”，一般用来回答以must开头的一般疑问句；could表示“能，可以”，语气更委婉；can't表示“不能”。由句意“——太热了，我能在湖里游泳吗？——不，你不能。那太危险了！”可知，第一空用could向对方提出请求；第二空表示拒绝，故选D

十、阅读理解
A
My father was born in a small town in the US. He traveled to many cities in the country, before going on to France, Australia and the Philippines. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.
It’s easy to feel lonely when you’re on the road. As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were mechanics (机械工)”, since we often spent hours in repair shops. But that was better than sitting by the roadside when it was 40 ℃.
Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back—seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle.
But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness (原谅).
When we were travelling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one—hour drive but was nearly three, thanks to bad roads and worse traffic. “Did you put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car ” my father asked my mother as we arrived. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. “No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven—hour car trip turned into a 16—hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence.
In situations like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were stuck in a moving box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like mobile universities to us. We got our PHDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by travelling in that old car.
And if we were somehow given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time, I’d put the suitcases in the car myself.
1. According to the first paragraph, the writer’s father ________.
A. didn’t like his hometown B. enjoyed travelling a lot
C. preferred travelling alone D. had never travelled abroad
2. During the road trips, ________.
A. hot weather made a lot of trouble for the family
B. the writer’s mother was very proud to make friends
C. the family often had to stop to get their car repaired
D. they argued about who had to sit in the front
3. When the family was travelling in the Philippines, ________.
A. they were very surprised at the good traffic conditions on the way
B. the father and mother had a big fight with each other
C. they wasted more time on the road after they forgot to take their suitcases
D. the family had a wonderful time with each other on the road
4. In the writer’s opinion, road trips ________.
A. are very boring for big families B. are fun only when we travel with others
C. help people go to universities D. help people to develop their social skills
5. What does the last sentence of this passage mean
A. The writer has really learned to be more responsible in the future.
B. It will waste a lot of time if you forget to carry something during the trips.
C. It is common to experience some problems when you travel with someone else.
D. The writer thinks a holiday is a chance to understand your family members better.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. D 5. A
【解析】文章大意：这篇文章讲述了作者跟随家人在旅行中学会了原谅别人。
1.推理判断题。根据“He traveled to many cities in the country, before going on to France, Australia and the Philippines.”在前往法国、澳大利亚和菲律宾之前，他去了这个国家的许多城市，由此可以推知，作者的父亲喜欢旅行。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据““We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were mechanics (机械工)”, since we often spent hours in repair shops.”“我们在旅途中结识了很多新朋友——他们中的大多数都是机械师”，因为我们经常花几个小时在修理店。由此可以推知，这家人在旅途中经常停下来让人修理他们的汽车。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据“That was how a seven—hour car trip turned into a 16—hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence.”我们旅程有7小时变成16小时，可知我们浪费了更多的时间。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据“We got our PHDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by travelling in that old car.”我们通过开着那辆旧车旅行获得了如何与人相处的博士学位。可以推知我们在旅途中学到了社交技能。故选D。
5.推理判断题。根据“Only this time, I’d put the suitcases in the car myself.”只是这次，我会自己把箱子放进车里。可推知作者开始变得负责任了。故选A。
B阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。
Drones(无人机) can do a lot of things for us, taking photos, delivering(递送) things from packages(包裹) to pizzas to beer and following wild animals. 1. .

十、阅读理解
A
My father was born in a small town in the US. He traveled to many cities in the country, before going on to France, Australia and the Philippines. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.
It’s easy to feel lonely when you’re on the road. As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were mechanics (机械工)”, since we often spent hours in repair shops. But that was better than sitting by the roadside when it was 40 ℃.
Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back—seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle.
But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness (原谅).
When we were travelling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one—hour drive but was nearly three, thanks to bad roads and worse traffic. “Did you put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car ” my father asked my mother as we arrived. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. “No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven—hour car trip turned into a 16—hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence.
In situations like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were stuck in a moving box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like mobile universities to us. We got our PHDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by travelling in that old car.
And if we were somehow given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time, I’d put the suitcases in the car myself.

A. they were very surprised at the good traffic conditions on the way
B. the father and mother had a big fight with each other
C. they wasted more time on the road after they forgot to take their suitcases
D. the family had a wonderful time with each other on the road
4. In the writer’s opinion, road trips ________.
A. are very boring for big families B. are fun only when we travel with others
C. help people go to universities D. help people to develop their social skills
5. What does the last sentence of this passage mean

B. It will waste a lot of time if you forget to carry something during the trips.
