30． walks to
31． heard from
32． How long
33．He wants to be an engineer when he leaves school.
28．句意：因为天气他必须回家。
根据句子的had to可知，句子为一般过去时，要求变为否定句，因为句子中没有be动词，所以要用助动词didn’t，又因为助动词后面跟动词原形，故答案填(1). didn’t (2). have 。
29．句意：我们学校的图书馆又大又好。
本题考查的是反意疑问句，反意疑问句的原则是前肯后否，前否后肯，陈述句中有be动词is，主语为The new library of our school可以用it代指，又因为前面的句子为肯定句，所以反意疑问句用否定形式，故答案填 (1). isn’t (2). it 。
30．句意：我的爸爸除了在雨天都是步行去上班。
本题考查的是同义词组的转换，go to the office on foot=walk to the office步行去上班，又因为主语是my father，为第三人称单数，所以walk变为walks，故答案填(1). walks (2). to 。
31．句意：自从她去了美国我就没有收到她的来信。

33．句意：当他离开学校的时候，他想成为一名工程师。
根据主语为he有两个，可知是从句，连词为when，leaves school 离开学校，wants to be an engineer想成为一名工程师，故答案填He wants to be an engineer when he leaves school。
【点睛】
句型转换这类题目包括同义句转换、变否定句、变疑问句、变反意疑问句等，同义句转换是同义词组的互换，要求学生准确的背出同义词组，变否定、疑问句时要注意时态以及有没有be动词，没有be动词要用助动词，变反意疑问句要根据前肯后否、前否后肯的原则，根据前面句子be动词、情态动词、实义动词来确定后面反意疑问句用的词，例如题目1，时态为一般过去时且没有be动词，所以用的是didn’t have，例如题目3，go to the offie on foot= walk to the office且主语为第三人称单数，故答案填 walks to。例如题目2，前面的句子为肯定句且有be动词is，故答案填的是isn’t it。
五、阅读单选(共10分)
It might be an understatemem to say that 2020 was a bit... different. Actually, 2020 was a year in which every day could end up feeling like a struggle (挣扎).
The year got off to a rough start—bushfires destroyed Australia, basketball legend Kobe Bryant died unexpectedly, and Beirut suffered a huge explosion (爆竹) that left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. But it was the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic that really set the world on fire.
Lockdowns, masks and social distancing soon became part of our daily routine. Although some parts of the world eventually got the virus under control, other places continue to struggle. It is possible that our fight against the virus will last for years.
But there’s nothing like staring danger in the face to make you enjoy life that much more. People discovered the importance of family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who helped out during dark times. People took a fresh look at how they were living and chose to make changes — finding new hobbies and building better habits.
Countries around the world are working together to produce vaccines (生产疫苗) to stop the virus from spreading. And despite the hardships of the pandemic, we made great progress (进步) in many areas. For example, we explored space further by visiting the moon and Mars.
Many of us learned hard lessons in 2020. Everyone is hoping for change in 2021, although the world won’t magically change when the clock strikes (敲响) midnight on Dec 31st. But the knowledge we gained will hopefully stick with us, and when we look back, we can say that 2020 wasn’t all bad.

【答案】34．D
35．C
36．D
37．B
38．D
【导语】
本文主要描述2020年国家和人民所经历的困难，从另一面来看，人们在这个过程中意识到了家庭、朋友、邻居，甚至是在黑暗时期帮助他人的陌生人的重要性，重新审视自己，当我们回顾2020年的时候，我们可以说，2020年并不都是糟糕的。
34．
细节理解题。根据“But it was the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic that really set the world on fire.”可知，新冠肺炎疫情的到来是最难的，故选D。

39．
句意：他担心会有孩子从停的车中间冲出来，所以放慢了速度。
giving out分发；helping out帮助……摆脱困难；rushing out冲出。根据下文“so he slowed down. As his car passed, no kids appeared”可知，他是怕孩子突然从盲区冲出来自己来不及反应。故选C。
40．
句意：当他的车经过时，没有孩子出现，但是有一块石头扔到了他的车门上。
ball球；stone石头；toy玩具。根据下文“The manager stopped his car at once and drove back to the place where the stone had been thrown”可知这里提到的应该是石头，故选B。
41．
句意：他跳下车，抓住一个小孩，把他推到一辆停着的车上。
against紧靠，倚着；into到……里面；onto朝向。根据上文“caught a kid and pushed him”可知，经理生气地抓住扔石头的小孩把他推着紧靠在路旁停着的车上问话。所以用介词against表示“倚着”，故选A。
42．
句意：你扔的那块石头要花很多钱。
spend花费，人作主语；cost花费；物作主语；pay支付，人作主语。分析句子结构，本句The stone作主语，是说石头把经理的新车砸了，要花很多钱。故选B。
43．
句意：“那是我的新车，我昂贵的新车！”男人生气地喊道。
angrily生气地；politely礼貌地；quietly安静地。结合上文经理的遭遇和连续对小孩的发问可知经理当时很生气，故选A。
44．
句意：“对不起，我不知道还能怎么办，”孩子说，“我扔石头是因为没人会停下来。”
who else还有谁；when else还有什么时候；what else别的什么事。根据下文“It’s my brother. His wheelchair hit a stone, and he fell out of the wheelchair. But I can’t lift him up”可知，小孩救哥哥心切当时既着急又伤心，不知道除了扔石头求助还能做什么。故选C。
45．
句意：他太重了，我搬不动。
so如此；such这样的；too太。根据空后“to carry”和语境，可知是说哥哥太重他搬不动，这里用too…to表示“太……而不能”，故选C。
46．
句意：他把年轻人扶回轮椅上，检查他是否一切都好。
something某事；everything一切；anything任何事。根据上文“He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair, checked him”可知，经理帮助小孩检查他的哥哥摔倒后是否一切正常，故选B。
47．
句意：从那以后，他就没有修过他的侧门。
didn’t repair没修复，是一般过去时；doesn’t repair是一般现在时；hasn’t repaired是现在完成时。“since then”表示一段持续的时间，可知本句用现在完成时，故选C。
48．
句意：这使他想起被扔到侧门上的那块石头。
which指物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语；who指人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语；what不引导定语从句。分析语境可知，这里缺少定语从句的关系词；先行词the stone“石头”指的是物，且在定语从句中作主语，所以用which来引导定语从句。故选A。

【答案】例文
In order to reduce schoolwork burden on primary and junior high school students, China carried out “Double reduction policy” this year. The policy calls for reducing homework and after-school classes. The students’ lives have changed a lot.
At home, students spend less time on doing homework. So they have more time to take up a hobby like cutting paper. It can not only develop students’ interest, but also make them know more about Chinese culture. What’s more, students can watch a movie or listen to music to make them relaxed.
At school, students can have more chances to do experiments and learn from real life. For example, students can go to research earthworms in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.
However, when burden is lightened, self-discipline becomes the key. Because if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students.
【详解】
1.题干解读：本文是一篇材料作文。围绕双减后的学生生活写一篇短文。

It might be an understatemem to say that 2020 was a bit... different. Actually, 2020 was a year in which every day could end up feeling like a struggle (挣扎).
The year got off to a rough start—bushfires destroyed Australia, basketball legend Kobe Bryant died unexpectedly, and Beirut suffered a huge explosion (爆竹) that left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. But it was the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic that really set the world on fire.
Lockdowns, masks and social distancing soon became part of our daily routine. Although some parts of the world eventually got the virus under control, other places continue to struggle. It is possible that our fight against the virus will last for years.
But there’s nothing like staring danger in the face to make you enjoy life that much more. People discovered the importance of family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who helped out during dark times. People took a fresh look at how they were living and chose to make changes — finding new hobbies and building better habits.
Countries around the world are working together to produce vaccines (生产疫苗) to stop the virus from spreading. And despite the hardships of the pandemic, we made great progress (进步) in many areas. For example, we explored space further by visiting the moon and Mars.
Many of us learned hard lessons in 2020. Everyone is hoping for change in 2021, although the world won’t magically change when the clock strikes (敲响) midnight on Dec 31st. But the knowledge we gained will hopefully stick with us, and when we look back, we can say that 2020 wasn’t all bad.
34．According to the writer, which of the following is the roughest in the year 2020
A．The terrible bushfires in Australia. B．Kobe Bryant’s unexpected death.
