In America, youth hostels always make people think of dirty hotels and 16 boys. They are cheap, but you get what you pay for. At least that’s how I thought about them, until I went to 17 .
On a long weekend, my friends and I decided to take a flight from Barcelona to Rome. As students without much money, we were trying to make the trip as 18 as possible, so we had to choose a youth hostel.
The room was beautiful. With pink painted walls, paintings of Italian views, and pretty tasteful lights, it was nicer than many of the hotels I stayed in for more money in America; maybe 19 the bunk beds (双层床)I don’t like.
Upon returning from our journey through Rome we were ready for a 20 night in. To my surprise, 21 , we were welcomed with a wine (葡萄酒) night hosted by the hostel. In the dining room, the hosts put many bottles of wine on the table.Young travellers gathered around the table to drink wine. Some had just 22 , and others had been there for a few weeks. We decided to sit down and were welcomed like we were already 23 .
Some of them were from Germany, others from Spain. Regardless of (不管) where they were from, or where they were going, they were all sitting at that table in that moment. 24 you are travelling, that’s the only thing needed to make a friend.
Hostels are more than just a place to lay your head for the night. They aren’t 25 , and they are places for young travellers to gather and get energy before starting out on their next big journey. Unlike a lot of hotels, hostels are not a destination (终点), but a place you pass through.
16．A．successful B．married C．good D．bad
17．A．Europe B．Asia C．Africa D．Australia
18．A．happy B．wonderful C．cheap D．quick
19．A．without B．with C．except D．including
20．A．quiet B．cold C．noisy D．happy
21．A．otherwise B．however C．moreover D．instead
22．A．woke B．stayed C．returned D．arrived
23．A．relatives B．students C．friends D．neighbors
24．A．When B．Where C．How D．Why
25．A．small B．noisy C．narrow D．dirty

Dear Sir/Madam,
①It is now common to go online in the home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.
②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities. If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.
③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork. These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children.
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important.
Yours faithfully.
Pat Chan

A．thinks parents should improve their Internet and computer skills
B．advises children not to spend a lot of their free time on computers
C．tries to make children less worried about their online schoolwork
D．explains why parents should pay more attention to their children
30．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A． B．
C． D．
31．The letter is probably from the part of ________ in a newspaper.
A．culture B．sports C．health D．education
C
We went into a secondhand shop to get out of the rain.
I took my 6-year-old daughter’s hand and we started to walk around. Suddenly she reached out her hand to touch a pair of shiny black shoes.
“Buy for me ” she asked.
“Oh, Sweetie, they are tap dancing (踢踏舞) shoes. You aren’t taking tap dance.”
“Buy for me ” she repeated. “Well, let’s try them on.”

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also it is easy to sent emails to our friends. It can help us contact (联系) people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends on the internet. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.
I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4: 50 to 5: 50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
Title: A 56 about Going Online
Advantages ●Make our lives interesting and make us 57 our lives. ●Learn how to use the computer and get more 58 . ●Send emails to our friends 59 . ●Help us keep in 60 with people from all over the world.
Disadvantages ●It 61 students too much time to play computer games. ●Some students make friends 62 and write too many letters to each other and spend too much time 63 online so they do worse in their lessons.

B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。
Can trees talk Yes, but not in w 66 . Scientists have reason to believe that trees c 67 with each other. Not long ago, researches learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked(攻击) in the woods by caterpillars(毛虫) changed the chemistry of i 68 leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped e 69 them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell—a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to c 70 the chemistry of their own leaves and make them l 71 tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by s 72 , raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and a 73 use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees w 74 they can find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways o 75 sending message

参考答案：
1．C
【详解】句意：——你知道2024年是龙年吗？——当然。龙是中国十二生肖中的第五个星座。
不定冠词a/an表泛指，a用在以辅音音素开头的单数可数名词或字母前，an用在以元音音素开头的单数可数名词或字母前；定冠词the表特指。空格在序数词“fifth”前，填定冠词。故选C。
2．C
【详解】句意：老人一个人住在孤零零的房子里，但他并不感到孤单。
考查lonely和alone的用法。lonely孤独的，指心灵上的；alone单独的，指独自一个人。第一个空表示“自己一个人住”，用alone，第二个空表示“感到孤独”，指心灵上的孤独用lonely。故选C。
3．A
【详解】句意：日本制造的时尚汽车由30000多个零件组成。
考查动词短语。is made up of由……组成；is made from由……制成（看不出原材料）；is made of由……制成（看得出原材料）；is made in在某地制造。根据“The fashionable car made in Japan...more than 30000 parts”可知此处指“由30000多个零件组成”，用is made up of。故选A。
4．C
【详解】句意：——西蒙，你的爱好是什么？——嗯，我有很多爱好，比如：画画、旅游和集邮。
考查介词短语辨析。for example例如，列举一个具体事例说明；such as例如，列举事物；as for至于，关于；instead of而不是，代替。根据题意，这里表示的是举例，可知从选项A和C中选择答案。根据drawing, swimming and collecting stamps.可知，这里表示列举事物，故选C。
【点睛】for example和such as都可当作“例如”解。①such as用来列举事物，插在被列举事物与前面的名词之间。例如：The farm grows various kinds of crops, such as wheat, corn, cotton and rice.这个农场种植各种各样的庄稼，例如麦子，玉米，棉花和稻米。②for example意为用来列举一个具体事例说明，有时可作为独立语，插在句中，不影响句子其他部分的语法关系。例如：A lot of people here,for example, Mr John, would rather have coffee.这儿的许多人，例如约翰先生，宁愿喝咖啡；
5．D
【详解】句意：——我可以借下你的自行车吗？——抱歉，Mary已经借走了。我今天早上借给她的。
考查动词时态以及词义辨析。borrow借入；lend借出。根据“Can I borrow your bike”以及“Sorry”可知，强调把自行车借给Mary这件事对现在造成的影响就是不能再借给对方了，用现在完成时have/has done的结构。第二空根据“this morning”可知，时态为一般过去时，应用lend动词过去式lent，故选D。
6．D
【详解】句意：——看，有人把灯关了。——不是我，我没做它。根据it wasn’t me. I didn’t do it.可知是动作已经发生，现在的结果是灯灭了，所以用现在完成时态；故选D
7．B
【详解】句意：——哦，我的天哪！我不知道你也在北京！你什么时候来的？——我从2015年起就住在北京。
考查动词时态。由语境可知，“不知道”这个动作是发生在过去，所以用一般过去时，故选B。
8．D
【详解】句意：“健康”这个词的后缀是指具有某种性质。
考查构词法。not不；full of装满；without没有；having the quality of具有……性质。根据句意可知，suffix指的是后缀，healthy的后缀-y在英语构词法中指的是表示某个名词具有某种性质，故选D。
9．B
【详解】句意：据说那位老人已经去世两年了。
考查主谓一致和现在完成时。一段时间a couple years作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，所以排除选项C和D；主语用现在完成时，since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，动词用过去式died。故选B。
10．D
【详解】句意：——吉姆，把音乐关小点。我们的孩子在睡觉。——别担心。他已经醒了半小时了。
考查动词时态。“孩子醒了半小时了”对现在的动作“是否要将音乐关小”产生了影响，故本句为现在完成时态；句中“for half an hour”表时间段，故此处应用延续性动词 be awake，在现在完成时态下与时间段连用，即has been awake。故选D。
11．B
【详解】句意：对不起，你不能把字典拿走，薇琪。我在用它。
考查动词时态。used一般过去式；am using现在进行时；have used现在完成时；was using过去进行时；根据句意理解及前句Sorry, you can’t take the dictionary away可知，这里表达的是“现在正在使用”，所以这里用现在进行时，故选B。
12．D
【详解】句意：江先生作为该公司的一员多年来一直致力于5G网络的开发。现在他在这家公司任总工程师。
考查动词时态。joined加入，一般过去时；was a member of是……一员，一般过去时；has joined已经加入，现在完成时；has been a member of已经成为……一员，现在完成时。根据语句中for years及语境可知，本句为现在完成时态，故排除A、B两选项。join为瞬时性动词，不能在现在完成时中与时间段连用；be a member of为延续性动作，可在现在完成时中与时间段连用，故此处应为has been a member of即多年来作为公司的一员。故选D。
13．C
【详解】句意：自从北京获得了2022年冬奥会举办权，一些中小学就已经将冬季运动加到他们的课程中了。
考查现在完成时。added一般过去时；will add一般将来时；have added现在完成时；were adding过去进行时。分析句子可知，此处强调动作已经发生，构成“现在完成时+since+一般过去时”结构，所以此处应用现在完成时。故选C。
14．D
【详解】句意：——爱丽丝已经出去了。——哦，是吗？她什么时候走的？
考查动词时态。has; gone现在完成时；is; going现在进行时；will; go一般将来时；did; go一般过去时。根据语境可知，爱丽丝已经出去了，所以问句询问的“爱丽丝具体的外出时间”对于说话者来讲发生在过去，故此处应为一般过去时。故选D。
15．C
【详解】句意：——你介意我在这里抽烟吗？——最好不要。如果你那样做，你会有麻烦的。
考查非谓语动词及情景交际。would you mind+人称代词宾格/形容词性物主代词+doing sth介意某人做某事吗，其后应接动词的ing形式，故排除A、D两项。根据答语“If you do that, you will be in trouble”可知，我介意你在这抽烟，所以应以“Better not”作为回答，即最好不要抽。故选C。
【点睛】易错分析：回答“Would you mind…”句式时，肯定回答表示“不介意”，否定回答表示“介意”。本题如果学生没有弄清楚逻辑关系，会错选为B项Certainly not“当然不”，即当然不介意，与语境不符，故排除。
16．D 17．A 18．C 19．C 20．A 21．B 22．D 23．C 24．A 25．D
【导语】本文讲述的是提到美国的青年旅社，总是让人觉得是肮脏的和坏男孩住的地方，但通过作者的亲身体验证实了青年旅社并不脏。
16．句意：在美国，青年旅社总是让人想到肮脏的旅馆和坏男孩。
successful成功的；married已婚的；good好的；bad坏的。由前文“dirty hotels”可知，此处并列的也是含贬义的形容词，bad符合语境。故选D。
17．句意：至少我是这么想的，直到我去了欧洲。
Europe欧洲；Asia亚洲；Africa非洲；Australia澳大利亚，澳洲。根据下文“On a long weekend, my friends and I decided to take a flight from Barcelona to Rome.”，在一个漫长的周末，我和朋友们决定从巴塞罗那乘飞机去罗马。由此可知作者去了欧洲，故选A。
18．句意：作为学生，我们没有太多的钱，我们试图让旅行尽可能便宜，所以我们不得不选择一家青年旅社。
happy快乐的；wonderful精彩的；cheap便宜的；quick快的。根据上文“As students without much money”可知，作为没有钱的学生，他们决定尽可能便宜地旅行。故选C。
19．句意：也许除了我不喜欢的双层床。
without没有；with和……一起；except除了；including包括。根据上文“The room was beautiful. With pink painted walls, paintings of Italian views, and pretty tasteful lights, it was nicer than many of the hotels I stayed in for more money in America”可知，作者对罗马的旅社很满意，除了自己不喜欢的双层床。故选C。
20．句意：从罗马旅行回来后，我们准备在家里过一个安静的夜晚。
