A、shout
B、cloud
C、mouse
D、tough

2、选出下列选项中划线部分读音不同的选项（）
A、fear
B、bear
C、wear
D、pear
解析：
在选项中，划线部分的发音规律是开音节，字母组合ear的发音为[ɪə]，而在A选项中，由于前面的f音的影响，使得划线部分的发音变为[ɪə]，与其他选项中的[eə]不同。因此，正确答案为A。
3、选出下列选项中划线部分读音不同的选项（）
A、post
B、cost
C、most
D、host
解析：
在这一组词语中，划线部分的读音都是"o+st"，但是在B选项中，"co+st"的发音为[ɔ]，而在其他选项中，“po+st”，“mo+st”，"ho+st"的发音为[əʊ]。因此，B选项中的划线部分读音与其他选项不同。
4、选出下列选项中划线部分读音不同的选项（）
A、chase
B、base

D、case
解析：
C选项中的单词"ease"发音为[zeɪs]，与其他选项中单词的发音不同，因此选C。其他选项中的单词发音都是类似的，只是开头的辅音不同。

B、scene
C、score
D、scale

B选项中划线部分的读音与其他选项不同。B选项中的"sc"发音为[s]，而其他选项中的"sc"发音为[sk]。因此，正确答案是B。
6、Johnson ___ his meal when his friend Tim called him to eat out together.
A、had finished
B、has finished
C、finished
D、finishes
解析：
根据句意，当Johnson的朋友叫他一起出去吃饭时，他已经吃完了饭。由于他的朋友叫他吃饭是过去的行为，而他已经吃完饭是在朋友叫他之前发生的事情，因此需要使用过去完成时来描述他已经吃完饭的状态。所以正确答案为A，即"had finished"。
7、Cultural exchange plays an important role ___ promoting relation between the two countries.
A、in
B、on
C、at
D、to
解析：
句子中的空白处需要填入一个介词，与"promoting relation between the two countries"构成固定搭配。根据常用的表达方式，我们常说"play an important role in…“，意为"在…方面起重要作用”。因此，正确答案是A，表示"文化交流在促进两国关系方面起着重要作用"。
8、The two teachers taught him 30 years ago，but _____ of them can recognize him now.
A、either
B、none
C、each
D、neither
解析：
根据句意：两位老师三十年前都教过他，但是现在都认不出他了。选项A “either” 表示两者中的任何一个，不符合句意；选项B “none” 表示三者或更多都不，不符合语境；选项C “each” 表示每一个，也不符合句意。选项D “neither” 表示两者都不，符合语境，因此是正确答案。
9、The education committee ___ his proposal without giving him any reason.
A、turned up
B、turned down
C、turned out
D、turned in
解析：
根据句意：教育委员会没有给他任何理由就拒绝了他的建议。其中turn down意为“拒绝”，而其他选项的意思与句子不符。因此，正确答案是B。
10、He ___ late into the night ，but now he goes to bed early due to health reasons.
A、used to work
B、used to working
C、is used to working
D、is used to work
解析：
句子中的关键词是"used to"，它表示"过去常常做某事"的意思。所以正确答案是A，“He used to work late into the night.” 表示他过去常常工作到深夜。
11、Modern science and technology has shortened the distance between people and brought us ___ closer.
A、most
B、much
C、too
D、very
解析：
句意：现代科学技术缩短了人与人之间的距离，使我们更亲近了。分析句子可知，空格处需要一个可以修饰形容词比较级closer的副词。most通常修饰形容词的最高级形式，而much可以修饰形容词的比较级形式，表示“更加”。因此，正确答案是B。
12、The news ___the general manager had been arrested shocked everyone.
A、which
B、how
C、that
D、why
解析：
句子中的news后面是一个同位语从句，解释说明了news的内容，用连词that引导同位语从句，表示“这个消息是总经理被逮捕了”，所以选C。该从句中缺少成分或者起其他作用才用其他连词引导，但在这里只用连接作用，因此选择C。
13、Researchers are trying to ___what's wrong with their experiments.
A、pull out
B、call out
C、take out
D、figure out
解析：
句意：研究人员正试图找出他们实验中存在的问题。A的意思是拔出、退出；B的意思是召集、叫喊；C的意思是拿出、取出；D的意思是弄清楚、解决。根据句意，研究人员正在试图找出实验中存在的问题，因此正确的选项是D，即“弄清楚”。
14、My computer broke down yesterday. I'll have it ____as soon as possible.
A、fixing
B、fixed
C、fix
D、to fix
解析：
根据句意“我的电脑昨天坏了，我会尽快修好的”，需要使用固定用法have sth. done，其中have为使役动词，意为“使某事被做”，因此选项B fixed符合语法规则和语境。其他选项不符合固定用法的搭配。
15、The question I am going to raise today is in ___with yesterday's discussion.
A、connection
B、company
C、contrast
D、contact
解析：
句意：我今天要提出的问题与昨天的讨论有关。选项A中的connection意为“联系、关联”，符合句意。其他选项的含义分别为：B. company陪伴、同伴；C. contrast对比；D. contact联系（多指直接接触）。根据句意，正确答案是A。
16、l still remember the house ___ we lived when we arrived in Seattle in 2010.
A、when
B、that
C、which
D、where
解析：
本题考查定语从句的连接词。先行词是the house，定语从句中缺少地点状语，需要用关系副词where来引导。因此，正确答案是D。
17、 ___，the issue doesn't seem to be difficult at all.
A、With my view
B、From my view
C、For my view
D、In my view
解析：
句意：在我看来，这个问题似乎并不困难。in my view意为“在我看来”，为固定短语，故选D。
18、l couldn't go to the meeting because I had to ___ my brother after his accident.
A、take after
B、look after
C、look over
D、take over
解析：
根据句意，空格处应填入“照顾”的意思。选项B “look after” 意为照顾，符合句意。其他选项如A的“效仿，长得像”，C的“仔细检查”和D的“接管”都与句意不符。因此，正确答案是B。
19、Tom ___the car accident if he hadn't drunk alcohol before driving.
A、would avoid
B、avoided
C、would have avoided
D、will avoid
解析：
本题考查虚拟语气。根据句意，“如果Tom在开车前不喝酒，他本可以避免车祸。”是对过去情况的虚拟，因此需要使用虚拟语气。在虚拟语气中，从句的谓语动词使用过去完成时（had done），而主句的谓语动词则使用“would have done”的形式表示对过去情况的假设或相反的情况。因此，正确答案为C。
20、Whenever I was free，I would chat with John，Helen and a few____ friends.
A、the other
B、another
C、other
D、others
解析：
根据句意和句子结构，空格处需要填一个形容词修饰名词friends。选项A的the other通常用于表示两个中的“另一个”，不符合句意；选项B的another通常用于表示不确定的“另一个”，也不符合句意；选项D的others相当于“other+名词复数”，表示剩余的另一些，并非全部，也不符合句意。而选项C的other作为形容词时表示“其他的”，符合句意。因此正确答案是C。

Music is part of the structure of our society ； it sits at the heart of human experience and enriches（丰富） so many lives. Why ， then ， is it not central to our education system?This is a question I recently put forward to an all-party group on music education. l am 20 years old and began playing the piano at the Barracudas Band in Barrow -in- Furness ，aged seven. The funding for the centre has now been cut. I took part in the primary tuition project ， aged 11. The funding for that has also been cut now. It is a common problem across the country.Music is not an add-on ， a “ soft”subject or a luxury—it is absolutely essential to our existence. Every child deserves the opportunity to experience its benefits. Until music is held in the same regard as the " core"subjects of our curriculum ， our society will be worse off. We need joy ， empathy（共情） and hope on this planet more than ever ， and taking away children's opportunity to develop musical skills is to set ourselves up for a fall. Despite the many brilliant programs and projects to encourage young musicians（“Every Child a Musician，”"Awards for Young Musicians ， " to name but a few ） ， we are reaching a crisis point. We are in danger of destroying creativity ， innovation（创新） and expression. Learning an instrument can help develop so many fundamental life skills. It promotes discipline ， empathy ， determination and cooperation as well as providing a sense of community and worth.
Music has changed my life. It is a huge part of who I am. I have learned so much about the world through music and the inspiring figures I have met through it. I feel I have a duty to help ensure that others can benefit from its magic. Let us make it available to every single child.
22、Why did the author raise the question on music education?
A、The funding for music education has been cut.
B、The band the author joined in has broken up.
C、The project the author was in no longer exists.
D、The tuition fee for music training has risen.
解析：
作者在文章中提到音乐教育的经费被削减了，这是作者提出音乐教育问题的原因。这一点在文章第二段中有明确的表述：“The funding for the centre has now been cut”和“The funding for that has also been cut now”。因此，选项A是正确答案。

In 2011 ， a dog owner named Robert uploaded a video titled"Guilty ! ”to YouTube. He had come home finding his two dogs near an empty bag of cat treats. The first dog behaved calmly.But the second dog ， Denver ， sat shaking in a corner ， her eyes looking down ， which made Robert believe it was she who had done it. Seeing her" apparent admission of guilt ， "he yelled at her，“You did this !” Denver beat her tail nervously.“You know the routine. In the kennel（狗窝）! ”Following the command ，the dog shut herself in.
The video quickly gathered a flood of comments. Since then，“dog shaming" has become popular on the internet ， as owners around the world posted beside notes shots of their trembling pets in which the dogs seemed to admit bad behavior. For instance， " I ate an extra large pizza ， "admits a chocolate Lab. Human enthusiasm for guilty dogs seemed growing.
But according to a researcher at Barnard College ， what we consider to be a dog's guilty look is no sign of guilt at all. In a 2009 study ， the researcher had owners forbid their dogs from eating an attractive treat ，and then asked the owners to leave the room. While each owner was gone ， the researcher either removed the treat or fed it to the dog. When the owners returned，they were told—regardless of the truth—that their dogs either had or had not eaten it. If owners thought their dogs had done something wrong，blames followed， and guilty looks quickly emerged. Yet dogs who hadn't eaten the treat were more likely to appear guilty than dogs who had—so long as their owners scolded them. Far from signaling regret ， one group of researchers wrote in a 2012 paper ， the guilty look of dogs is very likely a means to show obedience（顺从）to their owners.
23、What did Robert want to show with his video on YouTube?
A、Dogs’ conflict with other pets.
B、Dogs’ naughty behaviors.
C、Dogs’ trust in their owners.
D、Dogs' apparent guilty looks.
解析：
根据文章第一段中的描述，Robert在YouTube上发布了一段名为“Guilty！”的视频，他看到了他的狗在猫食袋旁边表现出内疚的表情。因此，他想展示的是狗的明显内疚表情，答案为D。

In the race to the moon ， who came in first ?
You might say the answer is Neil Armstrong， Buzz Aldrin ， and Michael Collins ， the crew of Apollo 11. Or you could represent for the crew of Apollo 10 ， which reached the moon in May1969 and then headed back to Earth without landing.
But there is a much stranger answer to this question ， depending on how much you care about humans and what your definition（定义） of reaching the moon might be. Before any people arrived at the moon ， other animals had got there first. And unlike the dogs and monkeys that were made famous in early space shots and Earth orbits ， the first creatures to reach the moon were a pair of tortoises ，Discovery's Amy Shira Teitel reminded us.
The Soviet spacecraft（航天器） sent the animals around the moon—although not into its orbit—during a mission in the middle of September ，1968. The unmanned（无人驾驶的） craft then returned to Earth and dashed into the Indian Ocean，after which the Russians recovered the craft.
A month later ，Soviet scientists revealed that the spacecraft had been a tiny ship ， carrying the tortoises ， wine flies ， meal worms ， plants ， seeds ， bacteria ， and other living matter.
The tortoises ， as history records ， lost about 10 percent of their body weight ， but had a healthy appetite when they returned to Earth. In the following checkups comparing the animals to stay-at-home turtles used as a test control ， "most things seemed normal ， aside from some vaguely explained minor problems with the liver.
What this all means is that ， as Teitel explained ， "The first living beings to see an Earthrise from the Moon were Russian tortoises. However，as far as I can tell ， the animals were not named.”
24、According to the passage ， which of the following reached the moon first?
A、A pair of tortoises.
B、American astronauts.
C、Russian astronauts.
D、Dogs and monkeys.

根据下面资料，回答48-51题
Vegans try to live ， as much as possible ， in a way that avoids exploiting and being cruel to animals. This means following a plant-based diet. Vegans do not eat animals or animal-based products like meat ， fish ， seafood ， eggs ， honey and dairy products such as cheese. For many vegans，living a committed vegan lifestyle means not wearing clothes made from animal skin sand avoiding any products which have been tested on animals.
Vegans argue that suffering is caused in the production of these foods. For example ， they say that， on some dairy farms ， male calves（小牛） are killed because they are too expensive to keep ， and cows are killed when they get older and produce less milk. As for honey ， vegans say that bees make honey for bee ， not for humans ， and that bees’ health can suffer when humans take the honey from them. Vegans believe that the products they use and consume should be free from not just cruelty but any exploitation of animals.
The main reason for going vegan is probably that they believe animals and all other sentient（有感知能力的） beings should have the right to life and freedom. However ， there are other reasons. Vegans argue that the production of meat and other animal products is very bad for the environment. They point out that a huge quantity of water is needed to grow grain to feed animals in the meat industry. The enormous amount of grain which the meat industry needs often leads to
forests being cut down and habitats（栖息地） being lost. In contrast ， much lower quantities of grain and water are needed to sustain a vegan diet. In addition ， many vegans say that all the nutritious elements our bodies need are contained in a carefully planned vegan diet and that this type of diet helps prevent some diseases.
25、What is a vegan in this passage?
A、A person who likes to grow vegetables.
B、A person who is fond of eating meat.
C、A person who keeps a plant-based diet.
D、A person who stays away from animals.
解析：
文章明确指出素食主义者遵循的是以植物为基础饮食习惯，不吃动物或动物制品，如肉、鱼、海鲜、蛋、蜂蜜和乳制品等。因此，正确答案是C，即一个遵循植物性饮食的人。

There are many interesting news items in BP’s （英国石油公司） annual Energy Outlook just published.
But perhaps the most astonishing suggestion in the report is the idea that cutting back on plastic use could make matters worse. This might be what you would expect BP to say.After all， as one of the world's biggest oil companies，it makes a lot of money from selling products in plastic. But let's look at the thinking behind BP's argument.
If the current opposing idea about the use of plastic continues ， there could be a worldwide ban on single-use plastics by 2040. But the document argues that switching plastic for other materials will have a bigger cost in terms of energy and carbon emissions（排放）. That sounds like the law of unintended（非故意的） consequences in action. When plastic bags are measured against paper or cotton substitutes， a BBC analysis found there wasn't a great deal of difference in their environmental impact. Paper bags require fewer reuses to make them more environmentally friendly than single-use plastic bags，which means customers have to replace paper bags more frequently.
Environmentalists，though ， are not entirely convinced. They think that BP is stressing the problem of banning plastic for its own interest.“While it's true that it takes less energy to produce and transport plastic than glass ， a glass bottle can be reused dozens of times and is recyclable. Plus ， materials like glass when they escape collection don't go on polluting our oceans and rivers for hundreds of years， " said Louise Edge ， from Greenpeace UK.
Steps to encourage recycling are being taken. The UK ， for example， will introduce a new tax on the manufacture and import of plastic packaging in 2022. There are also lots of developments taking place with alternative materials. These may be the final defense against the unintended consequences of plastic bans.
26、What is astonishing about BP's annual report?
A、BP has earned a lot of money by selling plastic products.
B、Cutting back on plastic use may bring more problems.
C、BP has become one of the world's biggest oil companies.
D、Cutting back on plastic use may affect product quality.
解析：
：文章第一段提到，英国石油公司刚刚发布的年度《能源展望》中包含许多有趣的新闻，但报告中最令人惊讶的建议是减少塑料的使用可能会带来更大的问题。因此，根据文章内容，减少塑料使用可能带来更多问题是正确的观点，选项B符合题意。
