Dearjudges,

Goodafternoon!I'mveryhonoredtostandhereandmakeaspeechonreading.

參考答案:

1.A

【詳解】句意：“馬面裙”是中國傳統(tǒng)的裙子。它始于宋朝。

考查不定冠詞。a是不定冠詞，用在輔音音素開頭的單詞前，表泛指；an是不定冠詞，用在元音音素開頭

的單詞前，表泛指；the是定冠詞，表特指；/不填。skirt為單數(shù)名詞，用不定冠詞表泛指，traditional是輔

音音素開頭的單詞，故用a限定。故選A。

2.C

【詳解】句意：2024年4月26日，神舟18號載人飛船的宇航員提前進入中國空間站。

考查介詞辨析。in在……期間，常用于年份、月份或季節(jié)前；at在……時刻，常用于具體的時間點前；on

在……之時，常用于星期或具體的某一天前；to至?。?。根據(jù)"April26,2024”可知，此處指的是4月26日這一

天。故選C。

3.B

【詳解】句意：在窮人需要的時候為他們提供食物和金錢，你真是太好了。

考查介詞的用法。itis+形容詞+of（for）sb.todosth.“對于某人做某事怎么樣”，形容詞說明人的品格特征，

用介詞of；形容詞說明動作的特征,用介詞for,此處形容詞nice表示人的品質，故第一空填介詞用of；provide

sb.withsth.“給某人提供某物”，故第二空填with。故選B。

4.D

【詳解】句意：一周老師，我現(xiàn)在必須交作業(yè)嗎？一不，你不必。你可以過后交。

考查情態(tài)動詞。回答must（必須）提出的問句，否定回答可用needn't或don，thaveto。根據(jù)“MustIhandin

myhomeworknow,Mr.Zhou?”可知，第一個空處應填don'thaveto"不必"；第二個空處應填may"可以"。故

選D。

5.A

【詳解】句意：——打擾一下，YYDS是什么意思？——互聯(lián)網用戶用它來表示對他們的英雄的欽佩，類

似于英語俚語“GOAT”（史上最好的）。

考查形容詞短語。similarto與...類似；aswell也；differentfrom與....不同；oppositeto在....對面。

根據(jù)"Internetusersuseittoshowadmirationtowardtheirheroes”可知，是類似于英語俚語"GOAT"（史上最好

的），用similarto符合語境。故選A。

6.B

【詳解】句意：從海報上，我們知道在節(jié)目中對演員大喊大叫是不正確的。

考查句意理解。wecanhaveadiscussion我們可以討論一下；it'sinconecttoshoutatactors對演員大喊大叫

是不正確的；we'dbettertakephotoswithmobilephones我們最好用拍照；wecanwalkaroundslowly我

們可以慢慢地走。根據(jù)海報要求的第⑤條，可知對演員要有禮貌。所以對演員大喊大叫是不對的。故選B。

7.D

【詳解】句意：——他們結婚多久了？——對不起，我不知道。但是我知道皮特下個月將會娶一名護士。

考查動詞時態(tài)。marry做動詞，表示“結婚”，marrysb,表示“嫁/娶某人"；題干第二個空格指的是皮特先生

將要娶一名護士，此處用“begoingto+動詞原形”表示“將來時”，故此處應填原形marry。其次howlong表

示多長時間，常和現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)連用，且謂語動詞應用延續(xù)性動詞，marry本身是短暫性動詞，其對應的

延續(xù)性動詞是bemarried。故選D。

8.C

【詳解】句意：抄別人的作業(yè)是一個不好的學習習慣，盡管如此，對你來說拋棄它還為時不晚。

考查副詞辨析。Instead反而；Finally最后；Anyway盡管如此；不管怎樣；Suddenly突然。根據(jù)下文“itis

nevertoolateforyoutogetoutofit."可知，此處和上文之間是轉折關系，故選C。

9.C

【詳解】句意：為了讓南京更加綠色，未來幾年將種植更多的樹木。

考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據(jù)"trees”和“plant”的關系可知，此處用被動語態(tài)，表示“樹被種植”；根據(jù)“inthenext

fewyears”可知，該句為一般將來時，綜上可知，此句為一般將來時的被動語態(tài)，結構為willbedone。故

選C。

10.B

【詳解】句意：——這個星期六早上你能和我一起去釣魚嗎？——恐怕不能。我要去援助之手俱樂部。

考查情景交際。Noproblem沒問題；I，mafraidnot恐怕不能；I，mnotsure我不確定；Idon'tthinkso我不這

么認為。根據(jù)力'llgototheHelpingHandsClub”可知恐怕不能一起去釣魚，選項B符合語境。故選B。

11.B12.C13.C14.A15.A16.B17.D18.A19.D20.D21.A

22.C23.B24.D25.C

11.句意：一個老人正在等一匹馬過河。

on在...上面；for為了；by通過；in在....里面。根據(jù)"Anoldmanwaited…arideacrossariver.”及短語

12.句意：等待好像要永遠持續(xù)。

enjoy享受；like喜歡；mind介意；finish完成。根據(jù)"wouldyou...givingmearidetotheotherside?”（你介

意載我到另一邊嗎？）可知，空格處應填“介意”。故選C。

14.句意：這似乎沒有一座橋。

bridge橋；road路;horse馬;ground地面。根據(jù)上文“Anoldmanwaited...arideacrossariver.”（一位老人

等著搭乘過河。）可知，應該是沒有橋。故選A。

15.句意：老人無法將身體抬離地面,。

lift抬起；push推；stand站；move移動。根據(jù)"Theoldmancouldn,t...hisbodyfromtheground”可知，此處
