四、阅读回答问题(共10分)

     He is often called “the father of modern Chinese literature”. His works are in textbooks for Chinese classes. He is a household(家喻户晓的)name in China.

This year marks the 140th anniversary of Chinese writer Lu Xun’s birth. Born on Sept 25, 1881, his real name was Zhou Shuren.

At first, Lu Xun studied medicine in Japan. However, seeing his country in great danger, he decided to give up his doctor’s white coat and pick up a pen. He wanted to use his writings to inspire(鼓舞) people and save the country. Some people say his writings are like weapons(武器). They show the dark sides of society(社会) and are very inspiring. Just as the writer Lin Yutang said, “He is a warrior(战士) more than a literary man”.

Lu Xun’s stories still inspire young people today. “He really encouraged me a lot as he changed his dream to save the country,” said Zhao Zhihan, 13, from Beijing. “When we make choices, we should think about what they are for.”

Though Lu Xun’s works were written in his time, they are still a part of pop culture. His words are often used in stories, videos, emojis and creative products. Lu Xun is also the most talked-about writer on the video website Bilibili. By now, there are more than 13,600 videos about him with 170 million views, according to the site.

参考答案

1．B

考查特殊疑问句。How many多少，提问可数名词复数的数量； How much多少，提问不可数名词； How long多久，提问for+一段时间；How often多久一次，提问频度，根据“One spoon is enough.”可知，butter“黄油”，是不可数名词，用How much提问，故选B。

2．A

句意：如果你可以用你学过的单词造句，你的英语将会很好。

考查介词辨析。with用；on在……上；by凭借；for为了，因为。根据题干中的“make sentence”可知，此处指用所学过的单词造句，故应用介词with表示“用”。故选A。

3．C

【详解】

句意：Donald一个月前去了美国，到目前为止我们还没有他的消息。

考查动词时态。根据时间状语so far可知用现在完成时的否定形式，根据上文“Donald went to the US a month ago”可知，下文是还没有他的消息，主语是we，完成时的否定形式，借助助动词have+not+动词过去分词，短语hear from...“收到……的来信”，hear的过去分词是heard，故选C。

4．D

【详解】

句意：——你知道我们为什么要停止吸二手烟吗？——让我们保持健康。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句应该用陈述语序：连接词+主语+谓语。据此排除AB选项。再根据“To keep us in good health.”可知此处是在问原因，故选D。

5．C

句意：她期待可以从情景喜剧中学到一些很棒的笑话。

考查动词不定式。learn学习。expect to do sth表示“期待做某事”，故此处应用不定式作宾语。故选C。

考查形容词最高级。big大的，形容词原级；bigger比较大的，形容词big的比较级；biggest最大的，形容词big最高级，前面要加定冠词the；the biggest最大的，根据空后的“seats in our town”可知，应该用形容词最高级，表示“我们镇上最大的座位”，故选D。

7．C

【详解】

句意：山姆直到下周六才离开。我们这周末可以一起出去玩。

考查连词辨析。though虽然；because因为；until直到；unless除非。根据“We can hang out this weekend.”可知，山姆到下周六才会离开，not...until...“直到……才……”。故选C。

8．B

【详解】

句意：如果琳达在一个小时之内完成她的家庭作业，她将有更多的时间去练习。

考查条件状语从句时态。try努力，试图。句子是条件状语从句，时态应遵循“主将从现”原则。此处为if引导从句，故应用一般现在时，且主语为第三人称单数形式，谓语动词要用单数。故选B。

9．B

【详解】

句意：——莎莉，我不想去托尼的派对。但我不知道如何拒绝他。——别担心。我来帮你。
考查动词短语。put down放下；turn down拒绝；pull down拆毁；write down写下。根据“I don’t want to go to Tony's party. But I don’t know how to...”可知此处是指拒绝，故选B。

10．D

【详解】

句意：我明天有空。我可以和你一起去博物馆。

考查情态动词。must必须；should应该；need需要；can能，可以。根据“I’ll be free tomorrow.”可知，明天有空，能去博物馆，用can表示能够。故选D。

11．C

【详解】

句意：——你好，这里是希尔顿酒店。有什么可以帮到你的？——这周六你们有带双人床的房间吗？

考查形容词。full满的；empty空的；available可用的；possible可能的。根据“a room with a double bed”可知表达房间“可用的，可获得的”，用形容词“available”作后置定语。故选C。

12．B

【详解】

句意：——一百美元足以支付我今天的饭费吗？——噢，当然，足够了且还有剩余。

考查动词词义辨析。spend花钱；cover足以支付；fill装满；use使用，利用，运用。结合答语“enough and to spare”可知100美元足以支付今天的餐费。故选B。

13．A

【详解】

句意：——这对双胞胎中你想让谁帮你学习数学？——都不要。他们在这门功课上不比我好。

考查代词辨析。Neither两者都不；Either两者中任意一个；Both两者都；none没有一个（三者或三者以上）。根据“the twins”和“ They are not better at this subject than me.”可知，空处是两个都不选。故选A。

14．D

【详解】

句意：下列划线部分中哪一部分的发音与其他部分不同？

考查语音知识。meters[’miːtəz]米；[kiːn] 热切的；realized[’riːəlaɪzd] 意识到；college[’kɒlɪdʒ]大学。根据音标可知，D选项划线部分的发音和其他不同，故选D。

20．There is going to be an art exhibition in our school next week.

【解析】

15．句意：一个小偷在书店偷了李先生的钱包。

根据原句“stole”是实义动词过去式，可以判定句子是一般过去时态，所以一般疑问问要把助动词did提前至句首，同时动词变为原形steal。故答案为(1). Did (2). steal.

16．句意：我父亲一周后回来。

根据划线部分“in a week一周后”，可知用疑问词“how soon多久以后”来提问，本问为一般将来时，所以问句要把will提前至句首。故答案为(1). How (2).soon.

17．句意：孩子们每天早上几乎不吃鸡蛋作为早餐。

本句要求改为反意疑问句，根据原句动词为have，可知其助动词为do，时态为一般现在时；又因句中包含hardly，根据“前否后肯”原则，可知反意疑问部分要用肯定；反意疑问句中问句部分的动词与陈述部分的动词种类要对应一致，在时态上应和陈述部分的时态一致；句子主语是The children，应该用they来代替；所以是“do they? 不是吗?”故答案为(1). do (2). they

18．句意：《神奇的地球》是一部非常激动人心的电影。

原句动词为is，后面的中心词是名词film，根据陈述句变感叹句的规则，感叹词用what，不用how；film为可数名词单数，所以用what a/an，根据空后的exciting首音素为元音音素，可知用what an。故答案为(1). What (2). an.

19．句意：昨天午夜在安静的街道上发生了一起抢劫案。

根据原句与改写句对比，可知是写出happened的同义短语，happen发生，根据所学可知是take place，又因是过去式，所以用took place。故答案为(1). took (2). place.

20．根据线后为句号，可知本句为陈述句；There is going to be将会有；an art exhibition一个艺术展；in our school在我们学校；next week.下一周。故答案为There is going to be an art exhibition in our school next week.

细节理解题。根据“Everyone was greatly surprised when Xi wrote back.”和“His letter pleased the staff and students all”可知，孩子们收到习主席的回信很兴奋，排除A；根据“I’m so happy to get the lovely cards from you on the Chinese New Year.”可推断，学生们的贺卡是在新年之前就寄出了，排除B；根据“ “I think it’s a great honor.
