D.hadlookedafter【答案】A【詳析】考查現(xiàn)在完成進行時。句意：你看見我的Think和StepStepUP了嗎？我從早上7:30就一直在找它們。lookfor(尋找)，lookafter(照顧)，根據句意，此處表示從過去某一時間點開始一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作，并有可能還會持續(xù)下去，應用現(xiàn)在完成進行時，故選A。2.IfithadnotbeenforthehelpfromtheStudents’Union,theWFLS2024NewYearParty______sosmoothly.A.shouldn’tgo B.wouldgo C.wouldn’thavegone D.went【答案】C【詳析】考查虛擬語氣。句意：如果沒有學生會的幫助，WFLS2024新年派對就不會如此順利。If引導虛擬條件句，根據句中hadnotbeen可知，句子描述過去的情況，且結合語意，實際上有學生會的幫助，新年派對很順利，句子表示與過去的事實相反，使用虛擬語氣，主句謂語使用wouldhavedone結構。故選C。3.—Couldyoumeetmeattheairport?—I’dliketo,butI’mafraidIaveryimportantmeetingwhenyoureturn.A.amattending B.wasattendingC.willbeattending D.willhaveattended【答案】C【詳析】考查時態(tài)。句意：——你能來機場接我嗎？——我想去，但恐怕當你回來時我正在開會。分析可知，此處指我在開會的動作和你回來的時間為同一時間，句式：bedoing...when...“當做……時正在做……”，結合句中“whenyoureturn”，所以空白處用將來進行時。選項C符合題意，故選C項。4.Hurryup!Theconcertwillbeginathalfpasteight.Theperformers_________halfanhourwhenyouarrive.A.willbeplaying B.willhaveplayedC.areplaying D.haveplayed【答案】B【詳析】考查時態(tài)。句意：快點！音樂會將在八點半開始。當你到達時，表演者將已經演奏半小時了。將來完成時表示將來某一時刻或將來的另一個動作之前，已經完成的動作，強調的是完成，故選B。5.Hisfacialexpressionsuggestedthathe______veryimpatient,whichwaswhyImadeasuggestionthathe_______outtotakeinsomefreshair.A.shouldbe/went B.was/wentC.were/shouldgo D.was/go【答案】D【詳析】考查一般過去時和虛擬語氣。句意：他的面部表情表明他很不耐煩，這就是為什么我建議他出去呼吸一些新鮮空氣。分析句子可知，第一空前的suggested作“暗示；表明”講，后面的從句中不用虛擬語氣，結合句子時態(tài)可知為一般過去時；第二空前的suggested作“建議”講，后面的賓語從句用虛擬語氣，即should+動詞原形，should可以省略。故選D項。6.Iftheyearlierthanexpected,theyherenow.A.hadstarted;wouldbe B.started;mightbeC.hadstarted;wouldhavebeen D.willstart;mighthavebeen【答案】A【詳析】考查虛擬語氣。句意：如果他們比預期早出發(fā)，他們現(xiàn)在就在這里。這是一個混合虛擬語氣的句子，從句是對過去的假設，故要用haddone；主句中有now，是對現(xiàn)在的假設，故要用would/could/mightdo。故選A。7.Youdidn’ttakehisadvice.________hisadvice,you________suchamistake.A.Wereyoutotake;shouldn’thavemadeB.Ifyouhadtaken;wouldmakeC.Hadyoutaken;wouldn’thavemadeD.Haveyoutaken;won’thavemade【答案】C【詳析】考查與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣。句意：你沒有采納他的建議。要是你采納了的話，你就不會犯這樣的錯誤了。根據“Youdidn’ttakehisadvice”，可知本句是與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣。表示與過去的事實相反的結構為“If+主語+haddone，主語+wouldhavedone”。若將if省略，則助動詞had提到主語之前。故選C項。8.Laterinthischaptercaseswillbeintroducedtoreaders__consumercomplaintshaveresultedinchangesinthelaw.A.where B.whenC.who D.which【答案】A【詳析】考查定語從句。句意：在本章的后面，我們將向讀者介紹消費者投訴導致法律變化的案例。設空處引導定語從句，先行詞是cases，在……情況下應用inthis/thatcase,注意介詞不可少，inwhich=“where”，故用where引導定語從句。故選A。9.IwasborninNewOrleans，Louisiana，acity________namewillcreateapictureofbeautifultreesandgreengrassinourmind.A.which B.ofwhich C.that D.whose【答案】D【詳析】考查定語從句。句意：我出生在路易斯安那，新奧爾良，一個名詞能讓人想到美麗的樹和綠草的城市。分析可知，空處引導非限制性定語從句，先行詞為acity，關系詞代替它在從句中作定語，修飾名詞name，且構成所屬關系，應用關系代詞whose。故選D。10.Betweenthetwopartsoftheconcertisaninterval,________theaudiencecanbuyice-cream.A.when B.whereC.that D.which【答案】A【詳析】考查定語從句。句意：在音樂會兩部分之間有幕間休息，那個時候觀眾可以買冰激凌。此處是非限定性定語從句，先行詞為interval，在定語從句中作時間狀語，應使用關系副詞when引導。故選A項。第三部分：閱讀理解（每題2分，共50分）AManyenvironmentalistsandentrepreneursarelookingforideasonhowto“capturegold”―thatis,howtocollectandconvertplasticwasteintonewplasticorfuel.OK,describingplasticwasteaspotential“gold”maybeoverdoingit.Butthecampaignerssaythatpublicizingthenotionthatplasticisworthsomethingmayhelpreducetheamountofwastethatendsupinoceansandthebelliesofseacreatures.Tothatend,theyhavesetupacompetitioninvitingmembersofthepublictosubmitideasonline.OrganizerswilltakethebestonestotheRio+20EarthSummitinRiodeJaneironextmonth,wheretheyareplanningadaylongsideeventcalledPlasticityfocusingonissuesrelatedtoplasticpollution.Theplasticwasteproblemisgainingbroaderattentionasenvironmentalists,scientists,manufacturersandthepublicbecomemoreawareofthesheervolumeofthestuffthatfindsitswayintothesea.Morethan260millionmetrictonsofplasticarenowproducedperyear,accordingtothetradeassociationPlasticsEurope.Themajorityofthatisnotrecycled.Mostofitendsupinlandfill,andasignificantamountendsupaslitteronland,inriversandintheoceans.Technologicaladvanceshavemadeclearthatitispossibletoreusemuchofthisplasticbyturningitintofuelornewproducts.Yetthecompaniesthathavecomeupwithsuchsolutionshavenotachievedtheeconomiesofscalethatwouldallowthemtofunctionprofitably.Insufficientwaste-collectionandrecyclingsystemsinmostcountriesalsostandinthewayof“trashtocash”concept,saidDougWoodring,anenvironmentalentrepreneurinHongKongwhoisamongtheorganizerofthePlasticityforuminRio.Ratherthanbreast-beating,theforumaimstohighlightsomeofthetechnologiesandideasoutthereforcollectionandreuse.Mypersonalfavoritefornowisavacuumcleanerwithplasticpartsmadefromplasticwaste.11.Whatdothecampaignersliketodoexactly?A.Todescribeplasticwasteaspotential“gold”.B.Toinvitemembersofthepublictotheirforum.C.Tocollectideasonhowtorecycleplasticwaste.D.Toholdacompetitiononhowtodealwithenvironmentalpollution.12.Theunderlinedpart“trashtocash”mostprobablymeans“”.A.applyingmoderntechnologytorecyclingsystemsB.collectingsufficientplasticwasteforfutureuseC.establishingmanyenvironmentalbusinessesD.turningplasticwasteintofuelornewproducts13.Accordingtothepassage,thecompaniesthatwanttoreuseplasticwaste.A.havecollectedenoughwastetobeusedB.havenopracticalsolutionsC.haven’treachedprofitablescaleD.lacktechnologicaladvances【答案】11.C12.D13.C【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。本文主要講述的人們?yōu)榱税阉芰侠兂扇剂匣蛘咝碌漠a品所做的嘗試和努力?！?1題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第三段“Tothatend,theyhavesetupacompetitioninvitingmembersofthepublictosubmitideasonline.(為此，他們設立了一個競賽，邀請公眾在網上提交想法。)”可知，組織者想邀請人們提供如何回收利用塑料垃圾的新方法。故選C項?！?2題詳析】詞句猜測題。根據文章第六段“Technologicaladvanceshavemadeclearthatitispossibletoreusemuchofthisplasticbyturningitintofuelornewproducts.(技術進步表明，通過將這種塑料轉化為燃料或新產品，可以重新利用其中的大部分。)”可知，技術進步讓塑料垃圾變成燃料變得可能。由此可見“trashtocash”就是指把塑料垃圾變成燃料或者新的產品，創(chuàng)造新的價值同時少導致污染。故選D項?！?3題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章倒數(shù)第二段“Yetthecompaniesthathavecomeupwithsuchsolutionshavenotachievedtheeconomiesofscalethatwouldallowthemtofunctionprofitably.(然而，提出此類解決方案的公司并沒有實現(xiàn)規(guī)模經濟，使其能夠盈利。)”可知，提出這種想法的公司還沒有到達盈利的規(guī)模。故選C項。BThetankerlayinthebayforfourdays,afewhundredmetersfromtheshore.Inthistidelesswatershelayasstillandsecureasiffastenedtoawall.Inaway,shewas,forthesandybottomheldherinitsgrip.Twicetheharbormaster’sboatwentouttoher;thesecondtimeitbroughtoffanumberofthecrew.Itneveroccurredtothewatchersonshorethattheshipwasindanger,shelookedsocalmandseaworthy.Fromtimetotimetherewasactivityonboard:whenalandwindroseintheevenings,thetanker’senginescametolife.Thenthevesselshookherselfandstrainedfiercely,butnoneofitdidheranygood.Shejuststayedwhereshewasinthebay.TheJulysunblazeddownonherflatdecks.Occasionallyaseaman,strippedtothewaist,cameoutontothedeckwiththemovementsofsomeoneperformingacomplicateddance,steppinglightly,neverrestingonthatburningmetal.Onceortwicehekeptclosetotheship’srail,withanarmraisedagainstthesunlight,staringatthepeopleonthebeach.Throughoutthedaytheairroseinvisiblewavesfromthetanker’sdecks.Whenaseawindblew,itbroughtwithittheheavysmellofoil.Atnighttheshiplayintotaldarkness.Onthefifthmorningathickbankofseamistfilledthebay.Itseemedthatthetankerhadgotawayinthenightandgoneintoharbor.Butthiswasanillusion.Slowly,asthefogclearedalittle,shecameintoviewagainbutfartherout.Soontwofigurescouldbeseenatworkonherdeck.Therewasthesoundofhammering,ofmetalonmetal,andthenofsomethingheavyfallingontothedeck.Atoncethewatchersonshorewerehalfblindedbyaflashofyellowlightthatenvelopedtheshipfromendtoend.Theexplosionthatfollowedtheflashwaslikeasinglecrackfromagiantwhip.Inamomenttheship,exceptforadarklineatwaterlevel,waslosttosightbehindtheflames.Twobodieswerewashedashoreinthebay.Theywerestrippedtothewaist,bare-footedandblackwithflashburns.Therightarmofonebodywasraisedtotheforeheadasifshieldingtheeyesfromsomebrightlight.Theothermanworeagoldchainroundhisneck.Thetankerburnedforninedaysandnights.14.Whatpreventedthetankerfromsailingintoharbor?A.Shewaswaitingforasuitabletide.B.Mostofhercrewhadgoneashore.C.Shehadrunagroundons

getdocked whentheyaresick.Thoseindividualsincludedaycareworkersandrestaurantworkers,whosehealthcanaffectthehealthofmany.”（據凱蒂·庫里克在哥倫比亞廣播公司晚間新聞中報道，四分之三的低收入者生病時會getdocked。這些人包括日托工作者和餐館工作人員，他們的健康狀況會影響許多人的健康。）可知，低收入者生病時，仍然工作，因為他們不工作就會被扣工資，由此可推知，畫線短語getdocked的意思是“被扣工資”，故選D。七選五Idislikemakingschoollunches.Eachmorning,Iaminahurrybusyslicingcucumbers,washingberries,andfillingwaterbottles,allthewhilefeelingannoyedandevenslightlyangry.Thelunchesaren'tparticularlychallengingtoprepare.Mydaughtersarecontentwiththefoodintheirlunchbox.___31___There'snogoodreasonformyannoyance.Andthenonemorningathoughtsuddenlycameintomymind-Iamsolucky.Withinseconds,thosefourwordsbloomedthroughoutmyawareness.___32___Iamsoluckyt
