1、第1.题的答案是( )
A、game
B、late
C、trade
D、have

根据题目给出的单词提示，可以推断出正确的单词应该是“have”，因此答案为D选项“h++a++ve”。
2、第2.题的答案是( )
A、there
B、thick
C、thank
D、thirty
解析：
根据题目给出的单词和选项，我们可以发现题目中的单词应该是 “there”，而选项 A 也是 “++th++ere”，因此答案为 A。其他选项中的单词与题目不符。
3、第3.题的答案是( )
A、useless
B、endless
C、unless
D、hopeless
解析：
根据题目给出的选项，我们需要找到一个单词，其前缀为"less"，并且符合语法规则。选项C中的"un++less++"是一个正确的单词，其中"un"是前缀，“less"是后缀，组成的单词是"unless”，意为“除非”。其他选项中，“use”、“end”、"hope"都不是常见的前缀，并且组成的单词不符合语法规则。因此，正确答案是C。
4、第4.题的答案是( )
A、cool
B、flood
C、food
D、moon

题目给出的正确答案为 B 选项 “fl++oo++d”，与正确答案匹配，其他选项不符合题目的要求。因此，正确答案是 B。
5、第5.题的答案是( )
A、easy
B、noisy
C、busy
D、fantasy
解析：
根据题干中的选项，我们可以看出这些选项都是由一些字母组合而成的单词，其中都包含了一个共同的单词片段“s++y”，意为“……加s加y”。因此，我们需要找到一个单词，其加上“s++y”后仍然是一个合理的单词。根据常识和单词的拼写规则，我们可以知道选项D中的单词“fanta”加上“s++y”后变为“fantasy”，这是一个合理的单词，表示“幻想、梦幻”。因此，正确答案为D。
6、This test is designed for students________native language is not English.
A、whose
B、whom
C、to whom
D、to whose
解析：
本题考查定语从句。句意：这项测试是专门为母语非英语的学生设计的。分析句子成分可知，students后为定语从句，先行词是students，表示人，空格处为定语从句的引导词，且在从句中作定语，因此应用whose，故选A。
7、While________along the shore, I found a lot of sea shells.
A、walk
B、walking
C、to walk
D、walked
解析：
本题考查的是省略句中的非谓语动词用法。句意为：“在海边散步的时候，我发现了很多贝壳。”在此情况下，使用非谓语动词walking表示“散步”的动作正在进行，同时作为连词while的省略形式，省略了主语和be动词。因此，正确答案为B。
8、The sweater she received in the end differed________the one she had seen online.
A、by
B、in
C、with
D、from
解析：
题干中的句子表达的是“她最后收到的毛衣和她在网上看到的不同”，所以需要用到表示“不同”的词语。选项A的by主要用于表示方式或手段；选项B的in表示在某个方面不同；选项C的with表示伴随或比较；而选项D的from表示与……不同。根据句意，正确答案为D。
9、There are numerous websites on the Internet________you can learn how to cook.
A、that
B、when
C、where
D、which

本题考查定语从句的用法。句意：互联网上有很多网站，你可以在这些网站上学习如何烹饪。分析句子成分可知，Internet后为定语从句，先行词是websites，表示地点，空格处为定语从句的引导词，且在从句中作状语，因此应用where引导定语从句，故选C。
10、The writer' s first book is________popular than his second one.
A、so
B、less
C、such
D、much
解析：
这句话的意思是：这位作者的第一本书不如第二本书受欢迎。句子中有比较级标志词"than"，意味着要用比较级形式。选项A和C不符合语法规则，选项D修饰形容词要用副词形式，只有选项B的"less"是正确的比较级形式，表示不如第二本书受欢迎。因此，正确答案为B。
11、Tom is a careless person.He forgot________the door again when he went out yesterday.
A、to lock
B、locking
C、to have locked
D、having locked
解析：
句子中的关键词是"forgot"，后面跟着的应该是动词不定式表示忘记要做的动作。在这个句子中，汤姆忘记了他要做的动作是锁门，所以正确的选项是A，即"to lock"。这句话的意思是汤姆是个粗心的人，昨天出门时又忘记锁门了。
12、We generally have four people working in the shop, but at________ periods we employ extra hands.
A、top ,
B、rush
C、tip
D、peak
解析：
句子中的关键词是"at periods"，表示在某个特定的时间段或时期，而选项中只有D选项"peak"可以与它搭配使用，构成固定短语"at peak periods"，表示在高峰期或旺季。因此，正确答案是D。
13、It is expected that by 2049 the population of the city________two million.
A、would reach
B、will have reached
C、will be reaching
D、would have been reached
解析：
本题考查时态。句意：到2049年，该市的人口预计达到两百万。“by+将来的时间”作状语时，句子应用将来完成时态，表示在将来某一时间以前已经完成或一直持续的动作。所以选项B“will have reached”是正确的。
14、As the manager of this new company, Charles ________lots of work and almost had no time for
pleasure.
A、took to
B、took after
C、took on
D、took off
解析：
根据句意，此处需要表达“作为初创公司的经理，查尔斯承担了大量的工作”，因此选项C“took on”符合语境，表示承担。其他选项的意思与句子不符。
15、If John had entered the office ten minutes ago, he________ what we were talking about just now.
A、should know
B、had known
C、would know
D、would have known
解析：
本题考查虚拟语气。句意为“如果约翰十分钟前进办公室，他就会知道我们刚才在说什么了”。这是一个if引导的虚拟条件句，根据从句中的时间状语ten minutes ago可知，这是对过去事实的相反假设，因此条件从句的谓语应用过去完成时（had+过去分词），而主句谓语应用“would+have+过去分词”的形式。因此，正确答案为D。
16、Your brother Frank doesn' t eat cheese,________?
A、is he
B、isn' t he
C、does he
D、doesn' t he
解析：
该句是一个反义疑问句，主要考查反义疑问句的构成和用法。在陈述部分有否定词“doesn’t eat”的情况下，反义疑问句部分应该用肯定形式，并且与陈述部分的时态和人称保持一致。因此，正确答案是C，“does he”。
17、Pets________constant care are not suitable for people with little spare time.
A、require
B、requiring
C、required
D、to require
解析：
本题考查非谓语动词的用法。首先分析句子结构，这是一个主谓宾结构完整的句子，因此空格处需要填非谓语动词。pets与require之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即宠物需要照顾，因此应用现在分词形式作后置定语。选项B的"requiring"是现在分词形式，符合语法和语境要求，是正确答案。
18、Newspapers, magazines, televisions and computers all fight to________our attention.
A、hold
B、bring
C、carry
D、pull
解析：
本题考查固定短语。句意为：报纸、杂志、电视和电脑都在竭力吸引我们的注意力。hold意为“抓住”，hold one’s attention为固定短语，意为“吸引某人的注意力”，因此选项A是正确答案。
19、My friend John didn't like my suggestion________ we should share the rent.
A、that
B、what
C、how
D、why
解析：
本题考查同位语从句。句意为：我的朋友约翰不喜欢我提出的关于我们应该分摊房租的建议。空格后是同位语从句，作suggestion的同位语。空格处为同位语从句的引导词，且引导词在从句中不作成分，因此应用that引导同位语从句，故选A。
20、The old man's clothes, ________old and worn, looked clean and of good quality.
A、if
B、when
C、though
D、since
解析：
句子中的空格前后是两个描述衣服的形容词，old和worn，表示衣服旧且破旧。句子后半部分表示衣服看起来干净整洁且质量好。根据语境，这里需要使用一个连词来引导让步状语从句，表达“虽然”的意思。选项C的though符合语境，表示“虽然”，所以选C。

When my daughter first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents.Sometimes, I' d ask if they played chess themselves.Usually, the reply was no.When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking : "Good luck with that !" If this game is so good for kids, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I wanted to say: "Why are you having your kids do chess while you do that?"
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying.But I also wondered if we were sending a subtle message: that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents.They were playing chess ! Just then, a group of kids passed me. "Why are adults learning chess?" one asked, in a vaguely teasing tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines.I wanted in.And that is how I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.Early on, I was nervous, even though I really had nothing to lose, except my pride."A master can sometimes play badly," as one grandmaster (国际象棋大师) put it, "a fan, never!" And fan I was.It was three hours of concentration and thinking, with my phone turned off.It felt like a gym for the brain.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder as you get older.The phrase "adult beginner" has an air of gentle pity.It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already learned.
22、What can we learn about other parents from their remarks in Para.1 ?
A、They were indifferent to adult learners.
B、They agreed on the idea of learning chess.
C、They gave congratulations to the adult learner.
D、They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.
解析：

There' s an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs.Dogs are loving and loyal, while cats are aloof (冷漠离群的 ) and indifferent.Most cat people, however, probably disagree.Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their owners.Cats seem to experience separation anxiety, respond to their owners' voices more than to strangers' and look for comfort when seared.
But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats.Adapting a method previously used to study dogs, the scientists found cats--unlike dogs--don' t avoid strangers who refuse to help their owners.This doesn' t mean that the cats in this study were selfish, but they simply didn' t understand how human beings respond to each other.They weren' t aware that some of the strangers were being unhelpful.
In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something inside.Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them and asked for help.In "helper" trials, the stranger helped the owner to open the box.In "non-helper" trials, the stranger refused.The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing.Then, both strangers offered the cat a treat, and the scientists watched to see which stranger the cat approached first.Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive one? Or did she avoid taking food from the non-helper?
When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference.The dogs preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the cats in the study were completely indifferent.They showed no preference for the helpful person and no avoidance (避开 ) of the unhelpful person.Apparently, as far as cats are concerned, food is food.
What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish and don' t care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of human-centered thinking of animals.To really understand cats, we have to get out of this view and think of them as cats.
23、What do most cat people probably disagree with, according to Para.1.9
A、Cats are strange.
B、Cats are loving.
C、Cats are caring.
D、Cats are cold.
解析：
：根据文章第一段的内容，有一种关于猫和狗之间差异的刻板理解，即猫是冷漠和不合群的。然而，大多数爱猫的人可能不同意这种看法。因此，根据文章，大多数爱猫的人可能不同意猫是冷漠的（cold）这一观点。所以答案是D。

Scientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life and canhelp the brain develop and stay healthy.Babies, for example, need regular exercise to form connectionsin the brain. In children, research suggests that exercise improves attention, focus and schoolperformance.In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help slow memory loss.
Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned that exercisecan help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways.Exercise improves blood flow to the brain.The bloodcarries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections between brain cells.Increasing blood flow isone way that exercise can improve mental abilities.The positive effects of exercise on the brain can beseen in babies, pre-teenagers and adults.
Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development. Thismovement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form connections.The processcontinues throughout life but is most intense in infancy (婴儿期) and toddlerhood (学步期), whenchildren are mastering brand-new skills like sitting, standing, walking, running and jumping.
Exercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers' brains. In fact, some research suggests that regularexercise can improve school performance.A study found that the effects depended on how much kidsexercised.The more days the children attended the exercise program, the more their focus improved.
Finally, exercise helps keep the mind sharp during adulthood. Research suggests exercise canincrease the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which becomes smaller with age,and can increase levels of a protein (蛋白质) that aids the growth of new brain ceils.This can help prevent older adults from losing mental abilities and memory.
24、How does exercise help the elderly?
A、By improving attention.
B、By slowing memory loss.
C、By connecting with others.
D、By controlling cell growth.

In 1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River.During thisvoyage the explorers met a lot of resistance (抵抗) from the local Indians.In one particular tribe thewomen fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front of them with spears.Thus theriver was named after the famous women fighters of the ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of rainforest in theworld.About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon River.The Amazon basinis the world' s largest, about the size of Europe.The river is a product of the rainy season, which bringshuge rains every summer.This also produces a large area of rainforest, which supports the largestnumber of diverse plants and animals of any area in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming, as it is ahuge natural store of carbon.Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had fully grown and thuscould not take up any more CO2.Experiments have shown this could be wrong and that the Amazonrainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per hectare (公顷)per year.This is because plants react favorably to increased CO2; because it is the raw material forphotosynthesis (光合作用), the more of it the better.So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like afertilizer, stimulating plant growth.Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presentlyit is taking up a large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world's carpollution.
25、After whom was the Amazon River named?
A、The Indian women fighters.
B、The head of an Indian tribe.
C、The first explorer of the river.
D、The women fighters in ancient Greek stories.
解析：
：文章第一段最后一句明确提到，这条河是以古希腊故事中著名的女战士亚马孙（the Amazons）的名字命名的。因此，正确答案为D。
根据以下材料，回答52-55题
The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice.It outlines the fourbasic steps that can be used to persuade potential customers to make a purchase.The first three steps liein creating attention ( A), developing interest ( I), and building desire (D) for the product, before thefourth step--the "call to action" (A)--tells them exactly how and where to buy.AIDA can channel thecustomer's feelings through each stage of the communication process toward reaching a sale.
Attracting the customer' s attention is the first challenge, and this may be achieved by using anattractive phrase, offering a discount or something for free, or demonstrating how a problem can besolved.Once someone' s attention has been seized, it must be turned into real interest.This is best doneby providing a brief description of the product' s benefits to the consumer, rather than simply listing theproduct' s main features.Problem-solving claims, or results-based advice can be used to create desire,before finally laying out a simple way for that desire to be met--the means to buy. On websiteadvertising, this might be a direct link; on TV or print, it may be a website or telephone number.
In the movie industry, the stages of AIDA are used to great effect.Movie studios often begin theirmarketing campaigns months in advance with giant posters to attract attention to the new movie.Shortattractive previews follow, which develop interest by offering an attractive glimpse of the movie withoutgiving too much away.Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview, which is carefully designedto show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue.On theopening weekend, advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie' s release, invitingthe consumer to go and buy a ticket.
26、What is the purpose of creating the AIDA model?
A、To promote potential sales.
B、To simplify the daily business.
C、To describe the types of markets.
D、To lay the foundation for advertising.
解析：
文章第一段明确提到，AIDA模型是现代营销和广告实践的基础，它概述了可以用来说服潜在顾客进行购买的四个基本步骤。因此，创建AIDA模型的目的是促进潜在的销售。
