一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
As any parent with more than one kid knows, sibling(兄弟姐妹)relationships can be complicated, at times differing between being close friends and rivals.
Sibling rivaling in particular can be a challenge to deal with in normal times, but with many families spending more time together than ever because of the worldwide pandemic(大流行病)in 2020 and online(在线的)schooling, that can create even more tension in some sibling relationships.
(76) “Sibling rivalry is hard to deal with.” Rebecca Kennedy says. “The first step is realizing that kids do often see siblings as rivals. It’s tough to have a sibling because at the end of the day a sibling is, in some ways, competing for the scarce resource of parents’ attention or love.”
One thing that parents can do to remove jealousy and rivalry is to help each child feel valued in his or her specialness. Janine Domingues says: “Fix some space – it’s your brother’s day today and tomorrow’s going to be yours. That can create a healthy relationship with parents and siblings. The more attention children feel from parents, the more connected they feel to the parents and actually the more likely they’llsee siblings as friends and not rivals.”
(77) The other is to avoid comparing siblings with each other. It’s easy for some parents to try to encourage one child by comparing him or her with a sibling. But Kennedy suggests that parents should look at how much they’re reinforcing competition bypittingsiblings against each other. She says: “Sometimes it feels like the easier way to get a child to do something that a sibling is doing, but we are then getting them into gazing at each other as rivals again, rather than as friends.”
1、An obvious fact with siblings is that ______.
A、they seldom see each other as friends
B、they never see each other as close friends
C、they always see each other as enemies
D、they sometimes see each other as competitors
解析:
任何超过一个孩子的父母都知道,兄弟姐妹(兄弟姐妹)关系可以很复杂,有时不同之间亲密的朋友和竞争对手。
特别是匹敌的兄弟可能是一个挑战来处理在正常时期,但随着许多家庭比以前花更多的时间在一起,因为全球大流行(大流行病)在2020年和在线(在线的)教育,可以创建更紧张一些兄弟姐妹关系。
76,手足之争很难处理。丽贝卡·肯尼迪说。“第一步是要意识到,孩子们确实经常把兄弟姐妹视为竞争对手。有兄弟姐妹很难,因为在一天结束的时候,兄弟姐妹在某种程度上是在争夺父母的关注或爱的稀缺资源。”
为了消除嫉妒和竞争,父母可以做的一件事是帮助每个孩子在他或她的特殊性中感到被重视。Janine Domingues说:“安排一些空间——今天是你弟弟的节日,明天是你的。这样可以与父母和兄弟姐妹建立健康的关系。孩子们从父母那里感受到的关注越多,他们与父母的联系就越紧密,实际上他们更有可能把兄弟姐妹视为朋友,而不是竞争对手。”
(77)另一个是避免互相比较兄弟姐妹。对一些父母来说,通过将一个孩子与兄弟姐妹进行比较来鼓励他们是很容易的。但肯尼迪建议,父母们应该关注他们在多大程度上加强了竞争,而不是兄弟姐妹之间的竞争。她说:“有时候,让孩子做兄弟姐妹正在做的事情,这似乎是一种更容易的方式,但我们会让他们再次把彼此当成竞争对手,而不是朋友。”
2、Which of the following statements about Paragraph 2 is TRUE?

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
When asked about the possibility of futurepandemics, scientists say another one is coming and it's just a matter of when.
In fact, there are about 1.7 million viruses(病毒) that are believed to exist in animals, and nearly half could potentially jump from animals to humans andkick off another pandemic. Finding ways to prevent that is the motivation driving a team of researchers at the University of California at Davis. They are trying to help the world’s scientists determine how dangerous each virus might be by ranking its likelihood of being transmitted(传染)to humans and changing into a form that humans could easily pass to one another.
The team has launched a web-based tool called Spillover. It evaluates 32 risk factors to generate a risk score.“We looked at viruses known to be transmissible from animals to humans and those that were newly discovered,”says Zoe Grange,who worked on the project as a wildlife disease scientist. By marking“high-risk”viruses, this publicly available database is intended to create a watchlist (观察名单) for scientistsand policymakers.
(78)Grange and her colleagues came up with the idea of a ranking tool in the spring of 2017.The Spillover database is designed so that researchers can add their own reports. They can add their virus discoveries and do their own rankings. (79) It’s a tool everyone can use.Unlike other tools that evaluate the risk of a limited number of viruses, this database focuses on 887 viruses found in wildlife. SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus behind COVID-19, comes in second place for its likelihood to cause disease and spread within human populations.
6、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A、The Possibility of Future Pandemics
B、The SpillOver Database
C、Major Threats to Global Health
D、Animals Spreading Viruses
解析:
当被问及未来流感大流行的可能性时,科学家们表示,另一场大流行即将到来,只是时间问题。
事实上,大约有170万个病毒(病毒),被认为存在于动物,和将近一半可能从动物传给人类andkick另一大流行。加州大学戴维斯分校(University of California at Davis)的一组研究人员的动力就是找到预防这种情况的方法。他们正试图帮助世界上的科学家们确定危险每个病毒可能通过排名被传播的可能性(传染)对人类和人类改变成一种很容易通过。
该团队推出了一款名为“溢出”(Spillover)的网络工具。它评估32个危险因素来生成一个风险评分。“我们研究了已知的从动物传染给人类的病毒,以及那些新发现的病毒,”参与该项目的野生动物疾病科学家佐伊·格兰奇(Zoe Grange)说。标记“高风险”病毒,这个公开数据库旨在创建一个观察名单中(观察名单)的科学家和政策制定者。
(78)Grange和她的同事在2017年春天提出了排名工具的想法。Spillover数据库的设计使研究人员可以添加自己的报告。他们可以添加自己发现的病毒,并进行自己的排名。这是一个人人都能使用的工具。与其他评估有限数量病毒风险的工具不同,该数据库侧重于在野生动物中发现的887种病毒。COVID-19背后的病毒SARS-CoV-2在引发疾病和在人群中传播的可能性方面排名第二。

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Fried food is delicious, but it comes with baggage--studies have shown that it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke(中风).Ever since air fryers(空气炸锅) came out, they have been ranked as“must-have home cooker”status, and it’s been easier than ever to eat vegetables, fish and meat that taste like they’ve been deep fried. To learn the benefits of air frying,we spoke to some food specialists from around the country.
Let’s not shrink the miracle of air frying: It’s having your cake and eating it too. "Air fryers are one of the best ways to get the same taste of fried foods without the unhealthiness that comes along with them,”Bansari Acharya said.“It preserves the good things in the food items as it isn’t exposed to hot oil. It also reduces the amount of various fats in foods, lowering the risk for heart disease.”
When compared with deep frying, air frying is clearly the healthier choice. That’s becausedeep frying involves using too much oil while air frying simply uses heat and a powerful fan to efficiently and evenly cook the food in your fryer. It requires zero oil, though some can be helpful.“Since food prepared in an air fryer requires hardly any cooking oil, it has a lot less fat than traditional frying methods,”Morgyn Clair said. “The healthiest way to air fry is to use as little oil as possible. Use just enough so your food doesn’t stick.”
(80)The type of food you’re air frying can make a difference when it comes to your health.Certain foods can tum more nutritious(有营养的)when air fried,such as potatoes, corn and beans and so on while other foods like meat can become harmful to your health.
11、The word baggage in Paragraph I probably means______.
A、bag
B、pack
C、flavor
D、burden
解析:
油炸食品是美味的,但是它有行李——研究表明,它可以增加心脏病和中风的风险(中风)。自从空气煎锅(空气炸锅),他们被评为“必备回家炊具”状态,这是比以往更容易吃蔬菜,鱼和肉,吃起来像他们一直油炸。为了了解油炸食品的好处,我们采访了来自全国各地的一些食品专家。
我们不要缩小空气煎炸的奇迹:这是鱼与熊掌兼得。班萨里·阿查里亚说:“空气炸锅是既能吃到和油炸食品一样的味道又不健康的最好方法之一。”“它能保存食物中的好东西,因为它不会暴露在热油中。它还能减少食物中各种脂肪的含量,降低患心脏病的风险。”
与油炸相比,空气油炸显然是更健康的选择。这是因为油炸会使用太多的油,而油炸只需要加热和一个强大的风扇,就能在油锅里高效、均匀地烹饪食物。它不需要油,尽管有些可能是有帮助的。摩根·克莱尔说:“因为空气炸锅里的食物几乎不需要任何食用油,所以它所含的脂肪比传统油炸方法要少得多。”“空气油炸最健康的方法是尽可能少用油。用足够的量,这样你的食物就不会粘在上面。”
(80)油炸食品的种类对你的健康有很大影响。某些食物可以tum更有营养(有营养的)空气炸时,如土豆、玉米和黄豆等等而其他食物,如肉类会对你的健康有害。

二、Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)
16、Not until he talked to them______that he had been wrong.
A、did he realize
B、he realized
C、has he realized
D、he didn’t realize
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这句话的意思是:“直到他跟他们谈话之后,他才意识到他之前错了。”句子中的“Not until”引导了部分倒装,即把助动词或情态动词提到主语之前。在这个句子中,助动词是“did”,所以正确的形式是“did he realize”。因此,选项A“A did he realize”是正确的。
17、It is because she is tooyoung ______ she does not know how to deal with the situation.
A、so
B、that
C、so that
D、therefore
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本句为强调句,其结构为“It is + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分”,本句强调的是“because she is too young”,所以使用that引导强调句。因此,正确答案为B。选项A的“so”表示“因此”,不符合句意;选项C的“so that”表示“为了”,也不符合句意;选项D的“therefore”表示“因此”,也不符合句意。
18、Alice, together with two boys, ______ for having broken the school rule.
A、was punished
B、were punished
C、punished
D、being punished
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本题考查主谓一致和被动语态。句意:Alice和另外两个男孩因违反校规而受到惩罚。Alice和另外两个男孩共同做某事,谓语动词的数要遵循就近原则,由Alice可知谓语动词用单数,排除B;C项是动词原形,不能作谓语,排除C;D项是动名词,不能作谓语,排除D。根据句意可知,Alice和另外两个男孩是惩罚的对象,应使用被动语态,故用一般过去时的被动语态was punished。故选A。
19、After living in Hong Kong for fifty years, he returned to the small town ______ he was born and grew up as a child.
A、which
B、that
C、where
D、when
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】句子中使用了定语从句来修饰先行词“the small town”,根据句子结构和语境,先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,因此应该使用关系副词“where”。选项A中的“which”是关系代词,用于代替先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语;选项B中的“that”也是关系代词,用于代替先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语;选项D中的“when”是关系副词,用于代替先行词在定语从句中作时间状语。因此,正确答案是C。
20、The moon gives ______no light of its own.
A、off
B、up
C、in
D、away
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子“The moon gives no light of its own.”中,我们需要选择一个合适的介词来填空。根据句意,月亮本身不发光,所以需要使用介词“off”表示“不产生”。选项A“off”表示“不产生、切断”的意思,符合句意。因此,答案为A。
21、The announcement says that the class meeting will be ______ at 7 o’clock Tuesday evening.
A、taken
B、made
C、placed
D、held
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在题目中,给出的句子是"The announcement says that the class meeting will be ______ at 7 o’clock Tuesday evening.",意思是"公告说,周二晚上7点将举行班会。"。根据语境,这里需要一个表示"举行"的动词,而选项A "taken"表示"拿走",选项B "made"表示"制造",选项C "placed"表示"放置",都不符合语境。而选项D "held"表示"举行",符合语境。因此,正确答案是D。
22、The price of sea food is very______ during the Spring Festival.
A、expensive
B、high
C、valuable
D、worthy
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题的答案为B,即"high"。根据语境,"The price of sea food is very high during the Spring Festival."意思是“在春节期间,海鲜的价格非常高。”在这个语境下,选项A "expensive" 也可以表示价格高,但是"high"在描述价格时更常用,所以B是正确答案。选项C "valuable"表示某物价值高,不符合价格描述;选项D "worthy"表示值得的,也不符合语境。因此,答案为B。
23、I suggest that you______ him goout if he wants to.
A、promise
B、agree
C、let
D、allow
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】建议某人做某事应该使用 "suggest + (should) + 动词原形" 的结构,其中 should 可以省略。因此,正确的表达方式是 "I suggest that you let him go out if he wants to."。选项 C "let" 是正确的动词,表示 "让某人做某事"。其他选项 "promise" 表示 "承诺","agree" 表示 "同意","allow" 表示 "允许",都不符合句意。因此,正确答案是 C。
24、She cleans her room once a week, and it usually ______her two hours to do it.
A、spends
B、works
C、takes
D、passes
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】句子中描述的是某人每周打扫一次房间,并且通常需要两个小时来完成。根据句意,这里应该使用“takes”表示“花费时间”。因此,正确答案为C。其他选项的意思分别是:A. spends(花费,通常用于花费金钱或时间做某事);B. works(工作,不符合句意);D. passes(经过,也不符合句意)。
25、We’ve run ______ paper and ink. Please go and ask Miss Elaine to lend us some.
A、away with
B、out of
C、off
D、down
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这句话的意思是“我们的纸和墨水都用完了,请去请伊莱恩小姐借给我们一些。”其中“run out of”是固定搭配,表示“用完,耗尽”的意思,符合句意。选项A“a way with”表示“对待……的方法”,选项C“off”表示“关闭,断开”,选项D“down”表示“向下,减少”,都与句意不符。因此,正确答案是B。
26、I hate those people who think they are superior _____ me without any reason.
A、at
B、on
C、to
D、than
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】题目中的句子是一个表达对某种行为的厌恶情绪的句子。从句子结构上看,“I hate those people who think they are superior _____ me without any reason”表达的是对那些无缘无故地认为自己比自己优越的人的厌恶。因此,空格处需要一个表示比较关系的介词。
选项A "a at" 是不正确的,因为 "a at" 不是一个标准的介词短语。
选项B "on" 通常用于表示方向或位置,如 "on top of" 或 "on the table",而不是用于比较关系。
选项D "than" 用于比较两个事物或人的性质或数量,如 "He is taller than me.",但在这个句子中,句子结构并没有表达比较的意思,而是表达了一种优越性的观念。
选项C "to" 是正确的介词,用于表示优越性、优势或地位的关系。例如,“They think they are superior to us”表达的就是一种认为自己比我们优越的态度。
因此,选项C "to" 是最符合句子结构和语境的介词,应该选择它。
27、-When did you work in that company? -I worked there _____ 2009 and 2012.
A、from
B、to
C、between
D、till
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据题干中的回答“I worked there _____ 2009 and 2012”,可知空格处需要填入表示时间段的介词。选项A“a from”不符合英语表达习惯;选项B“to”通常用于表示两个时间点之间的范围,但在这里不太合适;选项D“till”虽然可以表示到某个时间点为止,但不如选项C“between”更准确地表示在2009年和2012年之间工作。因此,正确答案是C“between”。
28、Food and shelter are _____ for human beings.
A、special
B、especial
C、essential
D、exceptional
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本题主要考察形容词的词义辨析。句子中提到“食物和住所对人类来说是非常重要的”,根据句意可知,应该选用表示“必要的,不可或缺的”的形容词。选项A的“特殊的”表示与众不同的,与句意不符;选项B的“特别的”也有特殊的意思,但与essential相比,它的程度可能稍微轻一些;选项D的“例外的”表示不一般的,与句意也不符。因此,正确答案是选项C的“essential”,表示“必要的,不可或缺的”。
29、Mary wouldn’t have made such a stupid mistake if she _____ in such a hurry.
A、has been
B、hasn’t been
C、had been
D、hadn’t been
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中使用了虚拟语气,表示对过去情况的假设。句子中的“wouldn’t have made”表示对过去情况的假设,因此需要使用过去完成时。选项D中的“hadn’t been”是过去完成时,表示“如果她当时没有这么匆忙”,符合句意。因此,正确答案是D。
30、Henry _____in that factory for almost 40 years by now.
A、has been working
B、had been working
C、works
D、worked
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据句意“Henry到现在为止在那个工厂工作了近40年”,可知句子要用现在完成时,表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,句子中的时间状语“by now”也提示了要用现在完成时,所以选项A“has been working”是正确答案。选项B“had been working”是过去完成进行时,表示在过去某个时间点之前一直在做某事,不符合句意。选项C“works”是一般现在时,表示现在经常发生的动作,也不符合句意。选项D“worked”是过去时,表示过去发生的动作,也不符合句意。
31、--- Must we handin our homework today?
--- _____.
A、No, you mustn’t
B、No, you shouldn’t
C、No, you wouldn’t
D、No, you needn’t
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据英语中的情态动词和否定回答,对于"Must we hand in our homework today?"的否定回答应该是"No, you needn’t.",表示“不,你们不必交作业”。因此,选项D“No, you needn’t”是正确的回答。选项A“No, you mustn’t”表示“不,你们禁止交作业”,选项B“No, you shouldn’t”表示“不,你们不应该交作业”,选项C“No, you wouldn’t”表示“不,你们不会交作业”,这些回答都不符合题目要求。
32、We didn’t _____ the weather to change so quickly.
A、extend
B、expect
C、expand
D、explain
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中使用了“didn’t”表示否定,所以空格处应填入一个与“expect”意思相近的动词。选项A的“extend”意为“延长”,选项C的“expand”意为“扩大”,选项D的“explain”意为“解释”,都与句子的意思不符。而选项B的“expect”意为“预料,期望”,符合句子的语境,表示“我们没有预料到天气会变化得这么快”。因此,正确答案是B。
33、One of my friends _____ the news justnow.
A、afforded me
B、afforded me of
C、informed me
D、informed me of
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中使用了“just now”表示刚刚发生的事情,所以需要使用过去时态。选项A和B使用了afford,afford通常表示“给予,提供”,不符合句意。选项C中的informed虽然使用了正确的时态,但没有接正确的宾语,需要加上of,因此也不正确。选项D中的informed me of表示“通知我”,符合句意和语法规则,因此是正确答案。
34、There is no use ______ on a person who has no sense of responsibility.
A、to rely
B、relying
C、relied
D、rely
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中使用了“There is no use”这个固定表达,表示“做某事是没有用的”。后面应该接动名词作宾语,表示“依靠一个没有责任感的人是没有用的”。因此,正确答案为B选项“relying”。其他选项的词形或用法不正确。
35、He is the _____ boy in our class.
A、longest
B、highest
C、widest
D、tallest
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中描述的是班级里的男孩,而描述的是“最高”,所以应该使用形容词“tallest”来描述。选项A的“longest”表示“最长的”,选项B的“highest”表示“最高的”,但通常用于描述抽象的事物,如价格、水平等,选项C的“widest”表示“最宽的”,都不符合句意。因此,正确答案是D,“tallest”。
36、Can you _____ the difference between these two pictures?
A、say
B、talk
C、tell
D、speak
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在题目中,需要选择一个动词来填空,表示“你能说出这两张图片之间的区别吗?”。
选项A "say" 通常用于表达说话的内容,例如 "I say we should go for a walk."(我说我们应该去散步。)
选项B "talk" 也可以表示说话,但更侧重于长时间的、随意的交谈,例如 "They are talking about the news."(他们正在谈论新闻。)
选项C "tell" 可以表示告诉某人某事,也可以表示识别或分辨出某物,例如 "Can you tell me the difference between these two?"(你能告诉我这两者的区别吗?)在这里,应该使用 "tell" 来表示识别或分辨出图片之间的区别。
选项D "speak" 通常用于表示说话或发言,更侧重于正式或公共的场合,例如 "The president spoke at the meeting."(总统在会议上发言了。)
因此,正确答案是 "tell",表示“你能说出这两张图片之间的区别吗?”。
37、I was shocked at the magnificent scene _____ lay before my eyes.
A、what
B、which
C、where
D、when
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】句子中“the magnificent scene”是先行词,指物,所以关系代词用that或which,在从句中作主语或宾语。而lay是及物动词,需要宾语,所以关系代词在从句中作宾语,因此排除A和C。同时,句子中并没有表示时间的含义,所以排除D。因此,正确答案是B,即which。
38、The police are looking _____ the crime.
A、up
B、at
C、in
D、into
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子中,警察正在调查这起犯罪案件,所以需要使用表示“调查”的短语。选项A“a up”表示“向上”,不符合句意;选项B“at”表示“朝……看”,也不符合句意;选项C“in”表示“在……里面”,不符合句意;而选项D“into”表示“调查”,符合句意。因此,正确答案是D。
39、They haven’t finished their homework _____.
A、still
B、also
C、neither
D、yet
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这句话的意思是“他们还没有完成作业。”。在否定句中,常用yet来表示“还未”的意思。而still表示“仍然”,用于肯定句中表示状态持续不变;also表示“也”,用于肯定句中表示附加信息;neither表示“也不”,用于否定句中表示完全否定。因此,选项D中的yet符合句意,是正确答案。
40、Peter _____ sadly as he failed for the second time.
A、sighed
B、signed
C、signaled
D、surprised
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据句意,Peter因为第二次失败而悲伤地叹息。因此,正确答案为A,表示叹息。选项B的“signed”意为签名,与句意不符;选项C的“signaled”意为发信号,也不符合句意;选项D的“surprised”意为惊讶,与句意不符。因此,正确答案为A。
41、Among these foreign students, _____ of them are from English-speaking countries.
A、two third
B、two three
C、two thirds
D、two threes
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】题目中询问的是在这些外国学生中,有多少比例是来自英语国家的。在英语中,表示比例或分数时,应该使用复数形式的基数词和单数形式的序数词,即"基数词 + third"。因此,三分之二应该表示为"two thirds",而不是"two third"、"two three"或"two threes"。因此,正确答案是C。
42、When I first met Jenny three years ago, she _____ at a big company.
A、has worked
B、was working
C、had been working
D、had worked
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】题目中描述的是过去的事情,即“三年前我第一次见到Jenny的时候”,所以需要使用过去时态。选项A“has worked”是现在完成时,表示从过去到现在一直工作,与题目描述的时间不符。选项C“had been working”是过去完成进行时,表示在过去某个时间点之前一直在做某事,也不符合题目描述的时间。选项D“had worked”是过去完成时,表示过去某个时间点之前已经完成的事情,虽然可以表示“三年前”这个过去的时间点,但是“她正在一家大公司工作”这个状态应该使用过去进行时,即选项B“was working”。因此,正确答案是B。
43、Something is wrong with my phone. I must go and have it _____.
A、repair
B、repairing
C、to repair
D、repaired
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这句话的意思是“我的手机出毛病了,我必须去修理它。”,空格处需要一个过去分词表示“修理”的动作已经完成,并且被“have”这个使役动词所接,表示“让某物被修理”。选项A是不定式,表示“去修理它”,不符合句意;选项B是现在分词,表示“正在修理它”,也不符合句意;选项C是“to+动词原形”,不符合语法规则;选项D是过去分词,表示“被修理”,符合句意和语法规则。因此,正确答案是D。
44、The students are busy _____ for the final examination right now.
A、prepare
B、preparing
C、to prepare
D、to be prepared
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:句子中使用了“be busy doing sth”的固定搭配,表示“忙于做某事”。因此,正确答案为“preparing”,表示“正在准备”。选项A中的“prepare”没有与“be busy”搭配,不符合语法;选项C中的“to prepare”不符合固定搭配,应该使用现在分词形式;选项D中的“to be prepared”也不符合语法和逻辑,应该是“be prepared to do sth”表示“准备好做某事”,但在此处与“be busy”搭配不合适。因此,正确答案为B。

C、should be
D、shall have been
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据句意“昨天是个好日子。我真希望当时能和你一起去海边”,表示与过去相反的事实,应使用“would have done”结构,所以正确的形式为“had been”。因此,选项B“had been”是正确答案。选项A“were”表示“是”,选项C“should be”表示“应该”,选项D“shall have been”表示“将会”,都与句意不符。

46、People who exercise get better sleep and often feel more energetic than those who doesn’t.
A、exercise
B、better
C、than
D、doesn’t
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:该题目中涉及到一个比较结构,需要通过分析句子中的语法结构和含义来确定正确的答案。根据句子的结构,我们需要找出“ People who exercise”与“ those who doesn’t”之间的比较对象。通过比较,我们可以发现“People who exercise”与“those who doesn’t”之间缺少一个比较词,因此需要在“than”前面加上一个比较词。在选项中,只有“better”可以作为比较词,表示“People who exercise”比“those who doesn’t”更好。因此,正确答案是D。
47、Just alike each culture has a different spoken language,so each culture has a different body language.
A、alike
B、spoken
C、so
D、has
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本题考查了连词和副词的选择。原句中使用了“Just alike”表示“正如”,而选项A的“alike”是形容词,表示“相似的”,不符合句意。选项B的“spoken”是名词,表示“口语”,也不符合句意。选项C的“so”是副词,表示“因此”,与句意不符。选项D的“has”是动词,表示“有”,也不符合句意。因此,正确答案是选项A,表示“正如”的“Just”。
48、Parents should remember that be friends with their children is a better way to know them.
A、should
B、be
C、with
D、a better way
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】题目中要求选出与句子“Parents should remember that be friends with their children is a better way to know them.”意思最为接近的选项。观察选项,A选项“a should”并不符合句子的意思;C选项“with a better way”语法错误;D选项“a better way with”同样语法错误。只有B选项“be”与句中的“be friends with”一致,因此B选项“be”是与句子意思最为接近的选项。
49、The moment I saw him, I knew that he was an honestly gentleman.
A、The moment
B、saw
C、knew
D、honestly
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题干中的句子“The moment I saw him, I knew that he was an honestly gentleman.”中,存在一个常见的形容词错误。句子想要表达的是“他是一位诚实的绅士”,但使用了“honestly”这个副词来修饰“gentleman”,这是不合适的。正确的用法应该是用形容词“honest”来描述绅士的品质。因此,正确的选项是D,“honest”,而不是“honestly”。

For some behaviors in animals, there is little proof for strong genetic (基因的) determination. Not only are there many environmental and historical changes in behavior patterns, 56 we also know that some of them are passed on from one generation to the 57 . They are “cultural”.
The term “culture” here 58 social traditions. One 59 of animal culture is the well-studied food-handling behavior of the group of Japanese monkeys living 60 the small, wooded island of Koshima. These monkeys 61 to live in the forests, but Japanese researchers came and started to feed them by 62 sweet potatoes on the sandy beach. Soon, the monkeys began to leave the forests and 63 the sweet potatoes on the beach. About a year 64 the feeding started, a young female monkey was 65 to wash the potatoes in a nearby river. She actively and successfully 66 the sand on them. Within the next few years, potato-washing spread 67 the group, and the practice was carried 68 from the river to the sea. 69 potato-washing in the sea, several other habits 70 with feeding on the sandy beach are now well established in the monkey group. The habits are passed from mothers and other group members to the babies.
Japanese monkeys are not the only animals to have 71 their behaviors. In many cities and towns, European red foxes have successfully changed some of their behaviors in 72 to get used to their new city life over a short period of time. Obviously, this is not the 73 of the selection of genes. The same is 74 of common racoons (浣熊) in America. The course of the evolution (进化) of behavior cannot be adequately described and understood without 75 “culture” as an active factor. The cultural factor affects the selection of genes.
56、( 56 )
A、so
B、or
C、as
D、but
解析:
对于动物的某些行为,几乎没有强有力的基因决定的证据。不仅在行为模式上有许多环境和历史的变化,而且我们也知道其中一些是一代一代地传递下去的。他们是“文化”。
这里的“文化”指的是社会传统。动物文化的一个例子是一群生活在小而树木繁茂的小岛Koshima的日本猴子的食物处理行为。这些猴子原本住在森林里,但日本研究人员来了,并开始在沙滩上撒红薯喂它们。很快,猴子们开始离开森林,到海滩上吃红薯。大约在喂食开始一年后,一只年轻的雌性猴子被观察到在附近的一条河里洗土豆。她积极而成功地清除了上面的沙子。在接下来的几年里,洗土豆在这个群体中传播开来,从河里到海里都有这种做法。除了在海里洗土豆,在沙滩上进食的其他一些习惯现在已经在猴子群体中形成。这些习惯是从母亲和其他群体成员传给婴儿的。
日本猴子并不是唯一改变行为的动物。在许多城市和城镇,欧洲红狐已经成功地改变了它们的一些行为,以便在短时间内适应新的城市生活。显然,这不是基因选择的结果。常见的浣熊也是如此在美国。进化的过程行为不能充分描述和理解不考虑“文化”作为一个积极因素。文化因素影响基因的选择。
