16．
句意：有很多一次性产品，我们只用一次就扔掉了。根据前半句“There are so many single-use products”及备选词可知，这里指只用一次，use使用，为动词；又因为after后跟动名词形式，所以此处应用use的动名词using，故填using。
17．

21．
句意：自2017年以来，微信朋友圈只允许用户设置动态仅三天可见。结合文意及备选词可知，此处指让最后三天动态可见，“make sth.+adj.”意为“让某物……”；又因为allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”，故填to make。

句意：根据Fast Company的一篇报道，由于沟通不再需要太多时间，我们现在甚至都有用后即扔的友谊。根据“we now even have disposable friendships”及备选词可知，此处指沟通不再需要太多时间；又因为句型“it takes sometime to do sth.”意为“做某事花费时间”，所以此处应用动词原形，communication交流，是名词，其动词形式为communicate，故填communicate。
24．
句意：一种单一的生活方式可能会给你带来快感。根据后句“But without any deep thought behind it, the pleasure may not last for long.”及备选词可知，这里指带来快感；又分析句子可知，形容词quick后跟名词，please高兴的，是形容词，其名词形式为pleasure，故填pleasure。
25．
句意：它只会让我们回来索取更多。根据后一句“Maybe we need to slow down and enjoy a more thoughtful way of life.”及备选词可知，这里指回来索取更多，所以应用much的比较级形式more，故填more。

27．My mother wishes me ________ (healthy) forever.

句意：我母亲希望我永远健康。wish sb. sth“祝愿某人……”，固定短语，所以空处应用名词形式，作宾语。healthy的名词形式为health。故填health。
28．________ (lucky), we miss the last train.
【答案】Unluckily
【详解】
句意：不幸的是，我们错过了最后一班火车。此空位于句首，且空格后有逗号，应填副词修饰整个句子，根据“we miss the last train”可知，错过最后一班火车是不幸的事，unluckily“不幸运地”，故填Unluckily。

34． won’t they
35．It is useful to learn a foreign language。
31．句意：昨天晚上她在学校的图书馆看书了。
根据句子要求变成否定句，因为时间状语为yesterday evening，所以为一般过去时，又因为句子中没有be动词、情态动词等，所以要用助动词didn’t ,后面加动词原形，故答案填(1).didn’t (2).read。
32．句意：我的爸爸如此忙以至于他不能帮我复习功课。
本题考查的是同义词组的互换，so…that…可与too…to… 转换，表示太……而不能做，又因为第一个空后面跟的是形容词，第二个空后面跟的是动词原形，所以用too…to…故答案填（1）.too (2). to
33．句意：在河边钓鱼的人是我的爷爷。

34．句意：格林一家大下周要去野餐。
本题要求变为反意疑问句，反意疑问句遵循的原则为前肯后否，前否后肯，因为前面的句子是肯定句，而且有助动词will，用will的否定形式won’t 即可，又因为主语是the Greens 格林一家为复数，应该用they代指，故答案填(1). won’t (2) . they。
35．句意：学习一门外语是很有用的。

五、阅读单选(共10分)
You might ask, “Where will the universe go Will it ever come to an end ”
Scientists have been thinking about these questions. However, it’s hard to know what will happen. After all, the universe is so big. Still, scientists have made some guesses about the fate of the universe. As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.”
In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience “heat death”. Our universe “runs” properly because of temperature differences. It’s kind of like how a car engine is able to run because it’s hotter inside the engine than outside the engine. But if temperatures become the same everywhere in the universe, certain energy processes will stop working and the universe will die. Will the universe continue to expand And what will happen next Here are some related theories.
The Big Rip(大撕裂) We know that our universe is expanding. Dark energy causes it to expand faster and faster. This theory suggests that this expansion will continue forever. Finally, the expansion’s speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.
The Big Freeze(大冻结) As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth. This will make the universe colder. Finally, the temperature of the universe will reach absolute zero. All movement stops at this temperature.
The Big Crunch(大崩坠) This theory is different from the other two. Instead of expanding forever, it suggests that the mass of the universe will reverse the expansion. Then, like a star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition.
36．The US poet Robert Frost’s words mean ________.
A．it’s interesting to predict the future
B．it’s hard to predict the future
C．the future will end in fire
D．the future will end in ice
37．From Paragraph 3, we know ________.
A．the Earth might become hotter and hotter
B．the Earth’s energy processes are different from the car’s
C．the universe will be sure to expand in the future
D．the universe “runs” properly because it has the same temperature
38．When we say the universe will continue to expand forever. Everything in the universe will be ripped apart, the theory is called ________.
A．the Big Rip B．the Big Freeze C．the Big Crunch D．the Big Bang
39．The meaning of the underlined word “collapse” is similar to “________”.
A．speed up B．fly up C．set down D．fall down
40．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage
A．The theory of the Big Crunch is offered by scientists from the us.
B．Humans didn’t start to study the universe until the 1800s.
C．Light from stars won’t get to the Earth when the universe expands.
D．When the universe gets hot, it will become very active.
【答案】36．B
37．A
38．A
39．D
40．C
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大撕裂、大冻结、大崩坠理论等知识。
36．
推理判断题。根据“As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.””可推断，Robert Frost认为人们对未来世界不太确定，由此推断，他认为未来很难预测。故选B。
37．
细节理解题。根据“In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience “heat death”.”以及本段内容可知，在十九世纪，对热的研究表明宇宙可能某天会体验“热死亡”，由此可知，未来的地球可能会越来越热。故选A。
38．
细节理解题。根据“Finally, the expansion’s speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.”可知，当我们说宇宙将永远继续膨胀。宇宙中的一切都会被撕裂，这一理论被叫作“大撕裂”理论。故选A。
39．
词义猜测题。根据“The Big Crunch”和“Then, like a star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition.”可知，划线词所在段落讲述的是“大崩坠”理论，由此推断“collapse”的意思是“倒下、坍塌”，相当于“fall down”。故选D。
40．
细节理解题。根据“As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth.”可知，当宇宙膨胀时，恒星发出的光无法到达地球。故选C。

It was like big, black clouds hanging over the classroom.Some of us even c____53____ sadly. I asked myself, “How did we let this happen ”
The answer was clear. Our players practised a lot. But during the practice time, we didn’t find out the right way to do better u____54____ the two days before the sports month. I guessed the way we practised didn’t help us win. So it meant that our practice time was wasted. Also, we were too nervous to face the challenge from the other team while we were playing. Later in the game, we made a lot of mistakes. That was why we lost so many points in the second round.
Life is full of unexpected failures. Sometimes, we are fighting with ourselves. Because of our work, we will win. And because of our faults, we will lose. We should face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is useless to find an e____55____ for our failure. So, just keep going and trying our best, in a right way.
【答案】51．(w)inner

根据“After losing one of our games, no one in our class felt…”及首字母提示可知，在输掉了我们中的一场比赛之后，我们班里没有人感到高兴。前面的词语是系动词felt, 所以要用形容词pleased来填空。故填(p)leased。
53．
根据“After losing one of our games, no one in our class felt …It was like big, black clouds hanging over the classroom. Some of us even…sadly.”及首字母提示可知，此处表达输了比赛大家都很难受，甚至我们中的一些人甚至难过的哭了，用cry来表达；根据“was”可知，时态应用一般过去时。故填(c)ried。
54．
根据“…we didn’t find out the right way to do better…the two days before the sports month.”及首字母提示可知，此处表达直到比赛前两天我们才找到做的更改的办法，“直到……才……”用固定短语not ... until ...来表达。故填(u)ntil。
55．
根据“We should face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is useless to find an…for our failure.”及首字母提示可知，此处表达失败了应勇于承认，为失败找借口是没有用处的，“借口”用excuse表达，前面的词语是不定冠词an，所以名词要用单数。故填(e)xcuse。
八、阅读回答问题(共10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过6个词）
On a cold winter night, when the police officer John and the detective Lee were walking back to the police station. They saw a robber attacking an old woman on the road. Lee and John ran over to the robber at once.
The robber saw them and ran away as fast as he could. Lee and John followed him for a long distance until the robber rushed into an underground station. Lee and John ran into the station and tried to find him. It was quite dark outside that night and they couldn’t see the robber clearly. But they remembered what his body shape was like.
When they went in, they saw six men in the station. All of them had the similar build (体形) as the robber. John looked at them carefully, one by one.
The first man was arguing with an underground station worker. He seemed to be very unhappy. The second one was watching the fight between the first man and the worker. It seemed like he was quite interested in it. The third one was running around to warm himself up, as it was cold in the station. The fourth one was quietly reading a newspaper. His face was hidden behind the newspaper. The fifth one was wearing a big coat, sitting on a bench quietly. The sixth one was waiting for the underground. He looked at his watch several times. He seemed to be in a hurry.
John finally found out which one the robber was. He whispered to Lee, “Look! The robber wanted to cover up the fact that he was out of breath by doing this.”
56．What did John and Lee do after seeing a robber attacking an old woman
__________________________________________________________________
57．Where did the robber rushed into
__________________________________________________________________
58．Why did John look at six men carefully
__________________________________________________________________
59．According to John’s words, who is the robber

【答案】56．They ran to the robber/They ran over to the robber.

58．Because they had the similar build/Because they looked like the robber.
59．The third one/The one who was running/The one who was running around.
60．He is clever/careful/wise.
本文是记叙文，短文讲述了约翰警官抓强盗的故事，表现了他的聪明和细心。
56．
根据“They saw a robber attacking an old woman on the road. Lee and John ran over to the robber at once”可知，约翰和李看到一个强盗袭击一个老妇人后，他们立刻向强盗跑去，故填They ran to the robber/They ran over to the robber。
57．
根据“Lee and John followed him for a long distance until the robber rushed into an underground station”，可知强盗冲进了地铁站，故填An underground station/He rushed into an underground station。
58．
根据“All of them had the similar build as the robber. John looked at them carefully, one by one”可知，约翰仔细地看着他们是因为他们的身材都一样（看上去像强盗），故填Because they had the similar build/Because they looked like the robber。
59．
根据“The third one was running around to warm himself up, as it was cold in the station”可知，跑步会不断地大声喘气，符合约翰的判断“The robber wanted to cover up the fact that he was out of breath by doing this”，所以第三个正在跑步的是强盗，故填The third one/The one who was running/The one who was running around。
60．
根据短文内容，结合约翰的判断“The robber wanted to cover up the fact that he was out of breath by doing this”，可知他很聪明（细心或智慧），故填He is clever/careful/wise。

【答案】例文
Boys and girls,
My name is Li Hua. Today I'm glad to share my ideas about how to be good students.
First, as a middle student, I think we should be active in our studies. The more we study, the more we will increase our knowledge. We are the future and hope of our country, so we should love our country as well as our family. Second, we should take more physical exercise to keep our body and mind healthy. Anyone, who hasn't got a strong body, can do nothing for his country, even if he has much knowledge. Third, we should love nature and protect our environment from little things, such as saving water and electricity. Fourth, we should also take an active part in all kinds of chores in and out of school to develop our independence.
As long as we work hard, we will be excellent middle school students.

五、阅读单选(共10分)
You might ask, “Where will the universe go Will it ever come to an end ”
Scientists have been thinking about these questions. However, it’s hard to know what will happen. After all, the universe is so big. Still, scientists have made some guesses about the fate of the universe. As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.”
In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience “heat death”. Our universe “runs” properly because of temperature differences. It’s kind of like how a car engine is able to run because it’s hotter inside the engine than outside the engine. But if temperatures become the same everywhere in the universe, certain energy processes will stop working and the universe will die. Will the universe continue to expand And what will happen next Here are some related theories.
The Big Rip(大撕裂) We know that our universe is expanding. Dark energy causes it to expand faster and faster. This theory suggests that this expansion will continue forever. Finally, the expansion’s speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.
The Big Freeze(大冻结) As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth. This will make the universe colder. Finally, the temperature of the universe will reach absolute zero. All movement stops at this temperature.
The Big Crunch(大崩坠) This theory is different from the other two. Instead of expanding forever, it suggests that the mass of the universe will reverse the expansion. Then, like a star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition.
36．The US poet Robert Frost’s words mean ________.
A．it’s interesting to predict the future
B．it’s hard to predict the future
C．the future will end in fire
D．the future will end in ice
37．From Paragraph 3, we know ________.
A．the Earth might become hotter and hotter
B．the Earth’s energy processes are different from the car’s
C．the universe will be sure to expand in the future
D．the universe “runs” properly because it has the same temperature
38．When we say the universe will continue to expand forever. Everything in the universe will be ripped apart, the theory is called ________.
A．the Big Rip B．the Big Freeze C．the Big Crunch D．the Big Bang
39．The meaning of the underlined word “collapse” is similar to “________”.
A．speed up B．fly up C．set down D．fall down
40．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage
A．The theory of the Big Crunch is offered by scientists from the us.
B．Humans didn’t start to study the universe until the 1800s.
C．Light from stars won’t get to the Earth when the universe expands.
D．When the universe gets hot, it will become very active.

(本题20分)I know a Catherine who is smart, educated and interesting. But I avoid her because she never stops complaining (抱怨)!

The trip would have been nice, but the drive was too long. The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her back and the room service was too ____43____. The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too strong. Her complaints were ____44____ changing me. Months ago, my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine until she just became really ____45____. “Either break up with her, or leave me alone.” She shouted at me, “I’m ____46____ listening to your complaining.” Her ____47____ surprised me, and I began to keep myself away from Catherine. Later, I did forget her.
Now I try to remain ____48____ and positive (积极的) about life, and find friends of the same. There’s been scientific research lately. It shows that people who find reasons to be ____49____ for their lives are actually happier, and I believe that is true. Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain. And too much complaining will actually make your life _____50_____.
So take “gratitude (感激之情) walks” every day, and think about lives in a positive way.

The answer was clear. Our players practised a lot. But during the practice time, we didn’t find out the right way to do better u____54____ the two days before the sports month. I guessed the way we practised didn’t help us win. So it meant that our practice time was wasted. Also, we were too nervous to face the challenge from the other team while we were playing. Later in the game, we made a lot of mistakes. That was why we lost so many points in the second round.
Life is full of unexpected failures. Sometimes, we are fighting with ourselves. Because of our work, we will win. And because of our faults, we will lose. We should face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is useless to find an e____55____ for our failure. So, just keep going and trying our best, in a right way.
