A. mine B. ours C. hers D. theirs
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——抱歉打扰，这是爱丽丝的铅笔盒么？——是的，这是她的铅笔盒。
考查名词性物主代词。mine我的东西；ours我们的东西；hers她的东西；theirs他们的东西。根据Alice’s pencil box可知此处用hers表示“是她的铅笔盒”，相当于her pencil box。故选C。

A. might B. might not C. should D. should not
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：不准在森林里玩火。它可能会杀死植物、动物甚至人类。
本题考查情态动词。might可能，表示推测；might not可能不，表示推测；should应该，表示建议；should not不应该，表示建议。根据You are not allowed to play with fire in the forest. 可知，在森林里不可以玩火，因此推测可能会杀死植物、动物或人。故选A。

A. as B. for C. of D. by
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我的家乡昆明以鲜花而闻名。不管你什么时候去，它们都会吸引你的目光。
考查介词。as作为；for因为；of……的；by通过。be famous for意为“因……而出名”，for后接出名的原因；be famous as意为“作为……而出名”，as后接某种身份或职业的名词。原句空格后fresh flowers是昆明出名的原因，所以空格处填介词for，故选B。
4.Since 1989, Project Hope________millions of young people from poor families achieve their dreams of going to school.
A. will help B. helps C. has helped D. is helping
【答案】C

【详解】句意：自1989以来，希望工程已经帮助了数百万贫困家庭的年轻人实现了上学的梦想。
考查时态。will help一般将来时；helps一般现在时；has helped现在完成时；is helping现在进行时。根据时间状语Since 1989，可知该句应用现在完成时have/has done，又因为主语为Project Hope，所以用has，故选C。

A. Hi, this is Gina speaking. B. Hi, I’m Gina.

考查比较级。a greener更环保的；the greenest最环保的；a wilder更野蛮的；the wildest最野蛮的。根据句中的than before，可知应用比较级；live a…life意为“过上……的生活”，根据句意和常识，可知应该是过上比以前更环保的生活，故选A。
7.— Good morning, Lily. ________?
— Thursday. It’s the Dragon Boat Festival.
A. How’s everything today B. What day is it today
C. How’s the weather today D. What’s the date today

A. communication B. celebration C. honest D. creativity
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：一个来自湖南的12岁男孩因为他的创造力发明了一种新型窗户。这种窗户可以防止孩子掉下来。
主要考查名词含义。communication交流，名词；celebration庆祝，名词；honest诚实的，形容词；creativity创造力，名词。形容词性物主代词his后应跟名词，所以排除选项C；又根据句中的“invented a new kind of window”可知，发明出新型窗户是“因为他的创造力”，故选D。
10.It’s reported that the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games have been ________until July 23,2021.
A. put up B. put down C. put on D. put off

考查动词辨析。protect保护；protecting动名词或现在分词形式；admire钦佩，赞美；admiring是动名词或现在分词形式。根据句意可知，医护人员站出来保护其他人，C和D意思不对，先排除。该空前and连接并列成分，与空前的stand out一致，应用动词原形。故选A。
12.—________rapid progress our country is making in science and technology!

A. How B. What C. What a D. What an
【答案】B

考查感叹句。what引导的感叹句，修饰的中心词为“物”；how引导的感叹句，其修饰的中心词为“形容词或副词”。根据结构及语境可知，我们国家取得了多快的进步，这句话的中心词应为“progress”进步，指物，故应用what引导感叹句。另profress为不可数名词，其感叹句结构应为：What+形容词+不可数名词+其它！故选B。
【点睛】what引导的感叹句结构为：What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语！how引导的感叹句结构为：How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！

【解析】
【详解】句意：——杰克明天将举行一个生日聚会。你知道他喜欢什么礼物吗？——我不确定。我们打电话给凯茜，她可能知道一些事情。
考查宾语从句。how can I get there我们怎样到那儿，疑问句语序，一般现在时；what gift he prefers他喜欢什么礼物，陈述句语序，一般现在时；why didn’t he invite me他为什么没有邀请我，疑问句语序，一般过去时；where the party was held在哪儿举行聚会，陈述句语序，一般过去时。问句为宾语从句，应为陈述句语序，故排除A、C两项。根据问句中will have可知，聚会还没有开始，故排除D选项。综上所述，B选项的语序和时态均正确。故选B。

The creators say the big house will inspire the future of building. “This is a new way seeing architecture(建筑),” said one of the creators. “How you build is important.”
The big house was built completely from robot-made materials. It used 60% less cement(水泥)than a man-made house. Its ceilings(天花板)were made with a 3D printer. There are 35 parts in the house and each one was built in 60 to 90 minutes. It means that the robots built the full house in just 48 hours.
It is not the first time for robots to build houses. The Chinese used 3D printers to build 10 houses in a day in 2014. They created a building the next year. And last year Italians built a house in just 48 hours.

You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every Chinese kid struggles with them for some time.___42___ They come with their own special rules and traditions.

【解析】
本文讲述不同的国家礼仪习惯是不同的，作者所在的国家对自己或别人迟到一点不会介意，但在瑞士准时是非常重要的。
【46题详解】
句意：我们不喜欢匆匆忙忙的，所以我们不介意别人有时迟到一点，如果你告诉朋友你要去他们家吃晚饭，你迟到一点也没关系。
根据“if you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late.”，可知我们不介意别人有时迟到一点，所以此句应为否定句；又因为全文是用一般现在时，所以该句用一般现在时的否定形式，主语为we ，否定句加don’t，后跟动词原形，故填don’t mind。
【47题详解】
句意：我们真地是慢慢地享受我们的时间。
提示词real真正的，是形容词，在句中要修饰动词enjoy，所以应用副词形式，real的副词为really，故填really。
【48题详解】
句意：我们珍惜与家人和朋友在日常生活中度过的时光。
分析句子结构此处缺少谓语动词，valuable有价值，是形容词，动词形式为value；又因为根据全文可知是一般现在时，主语为we，所以谓语动词要用动词原形，故填value。
【49题详解】
句意：此外，我们通常不必计划去见我们的朋友。
besides 表示“除此之外”时，一般放在句首，首字母大写，并用逗号和后面句子隔开，故填Besides。
【50题详解】
句意：在瑞士，准时是非常重要的。
此句是句型It’s+ adj.+to do sth.，意为“做某事是……”，提示词is的原形是be，根据句意，故填to be。
【51题详解】
句意：如果有人邀请你中午见他或她，那么你就被期望在中午到那里。
根据句意此处是指“你被期望在中午到那里”，be expected to do sth.(某人)被期望做某事，主语为you，且为一般现在时，所以be动词用are，故填are expected。
【52题详解】
句意：你的朋友可能会发疯。
此空要修饰名词friend，所以应用形容词性物主代词，you的形容词性物主代词为your，故填your。
【53题详解】
句意：所以当我见到我的朋友时，我努力做到准时。
短语make an effort to do sth.意为“努力做某事”，故填effort。
【54题详解】
句意：我总是早早离开家以避免交通拥挤，因为我认为让别人一直等是不礼貌的。
根据句意此处指“让别人一直等”，keep sb. doing意为“让某人一直做某事”，所以应为keep others waiting，故填waiting。
【55题详解】
句意：而且，我们从来不会不先打电话就去拜访朋友的家。
根据句意此处指“不会不先打电话就去拜访朋友家”，one的序数词first，意为“首先”，故填first。
