7. —Mum, I won the first prize in the English speech contest!
—Honey, I'm so you! You should yourself for all your hard work.

A.proud of; take pride in
B.pride in; be proud of
C.proud with; take pride of
D.pride of; be proud with

A 解析:be proud of sb 意为"为某人骄傲";take pride in oneself 意为"为自己感到自豪",因此选 A。

【分析】
这道题考查表“骄傲、自豪”相关的英语固定搭配，解题时可以分两步走：第一步先分析第一空的结构，空格前有be动词am和副词so，说明此处需要用形容词性质的短语，我们学过proud是形容词，pride是名词，固定搭配be proud of意为“为……感到骄傲”，由此先排除误用名词pride的B、D选项，同时不存在proud with的错误搭配，排除C；第二步验证第二空，情态动词should后接动词原形，take pride in意为“为……感到自豪”，完全符合句子语义，即可确定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 分析第一空：句子结构为主语I + 系动词am + 副词so + 表语，此处需要形容词构成固定搭配，正确短语为be proud of，意为“为你感到骄傲”，pride是名词，不能直接放在so之后作表语，因此排除B、D选项，同时不存在proud with的错误用法，排除C选项。
2. 验证第二空：情态动词should后需要接动词原形，短语take pride in意为“为……感到自豪”，此处表示你该为自己付出的努力感到自豪，完全符合语境，因此确定选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】
固定短语辨析，词性辨析
【点评】
本题属于英语基础短语考察题，核心是区分两组同义短语be proud of和take pride in的结构差异：前者是“be动词+形容词+介词”的结构，后者是“动词+名词+介词”的结构，同时要明确proud是形容词、pride是名词的词性区别，避免记忆混淆错选错误搭配。

8. —Do you still remember the first time
you visited the Great Wall?
—Yes, it was a sunny day and I was so excited to see such a wonder.

A.which
B.when
C.that
D.where

B 解析:先行词 the first time 表示时间,用关系副词 when 引导定语从句,因此选 B。

【分析】
这道题考察定语从句引导词的辨析，解题思路可以分三步推进：第一步先定位定语从句修饰的先行词，找到空格前的先行词是the first time，指代时间属性；第二步分析定语从句的句子成分，从句部分"you visited the Great Wall"有完整的主语you、谓语visited、宾语the Great Wall，不缺少主语、宾语这类名词性成分，因此不能选在从句中必须充当名词性成分的关系代词；第三步结合先行词的属性，先行词表时间，需要在从句中充当初次游览长城的时间状语，对应选择表示时间的关系副词，排除指代地点的关系副词后就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 判定句子结构：空格后部分是定语从句，用来修饰限定先行词the first time。
2. 分析从句成分：定语从句"you visited the Great Wall"主谓宾结构完整，不缺失主语、宾语等名词性成分，因此不能选用在从句中需充当主/宾成分的关系代词。
3. 逐一辨析选项：
A选项which是关系代词，需要在定语从句中作主语或宾语，不符合从句成分需求，排除；
C选项that是关系代词，同样要在从句中充当名词性成分，本题从句不缺主宾，排除；
D选项where是关系副词，在从句中作地点状语，先行词the first time不指代地点，排除；
B选项when是关系副词，指代时间，在从句中作时间状语，语义和成分都符合要求。
【答案】B
【知识点】定语从句引导词；关系副词when
【点评】本题是定语从句的经典基础题型，易错点是部分考生看到先行词被序数词first修饰就直接误选that，忽略了定语从句引导词选择的核心判断逻辑：先分析从句是否缺失名词性成分，再结合先行词的属性匹配对应引导词，掌握这个逻辑就能避开这类常见易错陷阱。

9. —Thank you so much for helping me carry these heavy boxes.
— . That's what friends are for.

A.My pleasure
B.With pleasure
C.No problem
D.Just so so

A 解析:My pleasure 用于回答感谢,意为"不客气";With pleasure 用于答应帮忙,No problem 意为"没问题",Just so so 意为"一般般";此处回应感谢,选 A。

【分析】
拿到这道情景交际题，首先要先判断对话场景：第一句是对方在向你表达感谢，感谢你已经帮忙搬完了重箱子，我们需要选出适配“回应他人致谢”场景的答语。接下来先排除明显不符合语境的选项，再重点辨析容易混淆的几个常用表达的适用场景，逐一排除错误选项，最终锁定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 判断题干语境：上句“Thank you so much for helping me carry these heavy boxes”明确是对方在向说话人致谢，且帮忙的动作已经完成，需要选出专门回应感谢的合适表达。
2. 逐一辨析选项：
选项A：My pleasure意为“不客气，这是我的荣幸”，专门用于对方致谢时，回应对方表示帮忙是自己分内的事，完全匹配本题场景。
选项B：With pleasure意为“乐意效劳”，仅用于对方提出请求、你还未提供帮助时，用来答应对方的请求，本题中帮忙动作已经完成，不符合场景要求。
选项C：No problem意为“没问题”，多用于回应他人提出的请求，或是表示自己可以完成某件事，不是回应感谢的标准常用表达，不符合此处语境。
选项D：Just so so意为“一般般、不过如此”，多用于评价人或事物的水平普通，完全不符合回应感谢的对话逻辑。
综上，只有A选项符合要求。
【答案】A
【知识点】情景交际，致谢应答
【点评】
本题的核心易错点是区分易混表达My pleasure和With pleasure的使用时机，很多学生容易把两个表达搞混，要牢记核心区别：My pleasure用于帮完忙之后回应对方的道谢，With pleasure用于还没帮忙的时候答应对方的请求，抓住这个区分点就能轻松做对这类同类型题目。

6. Alice is modest and never takes pride in her progress.

【分析】
做这类汉译英题目时，首先第一步先梳理中文句子的核心主谓主干，确定句子的基本结构；第二步回忆对应语义的常用固定搭配，避免逐字直译产生中式英语；第三步判断句子需要的时态、是否需要用定语/状语从句补充修饰成分，最后组合成符合英语表达习惯的完整句子，写完后还要检查语法是否通顺、搭配是否准确，就能顺利完成翻译。
【解析】
1. 本句核心结构使用固定搭配be amazed to do sth（做某事感到惊叹），将“享誉国内外的”作为定语修饰舞者，用定语从句who are famous both at home and abroad补充说明先行词dancers，组合后得到通顺译文。
2. “引起某人的兴趣”对应固定搭配catch one's interest，“决定试一试”是decide to give it a try，“就在当天”用the very same day表强调，两个并列分句用and连接即可。
3. “随着时间的推移”是固定常用表达Over time，“如何做某事”用“how to do”的不定式结构，“专注于”对应focus/concentrate on即可。
4. “几千年来”是over thousands of years，该时间状语提示句子要用现在完成时，“从……演变成……”对应固定搭配develop from...into...，主语Chinese characters指代汉字，语义逻辑通顺。
5. 本句用unless引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”的时态规则，“从……中获得乐趣”对应take pleasure in sth的固定搭配。
6. 两个并列分句用and连接，“很谦虚”对应be modest，“为……感到骄傲”用固定搭配take pride in即可。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2024·扬州二模)Beer and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings too.
To preserve Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what ancient paint was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork.
According to their paper published in *Science Advances*, grains and yeast(酵母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent grains and yeast.
The study showed that they were used to provide a stable painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that one beer by-product was used as "glue" because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster.
Apart from beer, the egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. A recent study published in *Nature Communications* may have "cracked" the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks.
The researchers recreated the ancient paint by adding egg yolks to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the yolk's proteins helped slow the oxidation(氧化) of the paint. It could also reduce wrinkling as the egg makes the paint smoother.
However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists—they were willing to accept having their work preserved for longer.
"The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate what they're doing," Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, the US, told *Science News*. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks.
1. Why were beer by-products used in historic Danish paintings?
A. To help the colours stick better.
B. To keep the paintings clean.
C. To make the paintings more colourful.
D. To give the painting a different feel.
2. What does the underlined word "cracked" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Kept.
B. Shared.
C. Discovered.
D. Explored.
3. How could egg yolk proteins change the paint?
A. The paint could age faster.
B. The paint could dry more quickly.
C. The paint's colours could be nicer.
D. The paint could feel smoother.
4. From Sutherland's words, we can know that .
A. it's easy to appreciate artworks in the right methods
B. it's important to understand the minds of artists
C. it's hard to research early artworks
D. it's necessary to help people understand artworks

1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家通过研究发现,在厨房里很常见的啤酒和鸡蛋被以前的艺术家添加在绘画颜料中,用于保护画作。
1. A 解析:推理判断题。根据"Researchers also pointed out that one beer by-product was used as 'glue' because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster."可知,加入啤酒后,颜料能干得更快,让颜料粘得更牢。故选 A。
2. C 解析:词义猜测题。根据"Apart from beer, the egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci."以及"have 'cracked' the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks"可知,早在 15 世纪的艺术家使用的油基颜料中就发现了鸡蛋,也就是说已经"发现"了鸡蛋如何帮助保护艺术品的秘密;画线单词与"discovered"同义。故选 C。
3. D 解析:细节理解题。根据"It could also reduce wrinkling as the egg makes the paint smoother."可知,蛋黄中的蛋白质可以减少褶皱,因为鸡蛋使颜料更光滑。故选 D。
4. B 解析:推理判断题。根据"The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate what they're doing"可知,我们越了解艺术家如何选择和使用他们的材料,我们就越能欣赏他们的作品,这句话的意思是"了解艺术家的想法是很重要的,这样我们才能更好地理解他们的作品"。故选 B。

【分析】
拿到这篇科普类说明文阅读，首先先快速通读全文把握核心主旨：文章介绍了研究发现古代丹麦画作会添加啤酒副产品、15世纪油画会添加鸡蛋来保护画作的相关研究结论。之后按照题干关键词逐个回原文定位解题：
1. 第一题题干关键词是beer by products、historic Danish paintings，直接定位到文章第四段，找到啤酒副产品被用作胶水、帮助颜料更快干燥的描述，对应选项判断答案。
2. 第二题是词义猜测题，划线词后面搭配的是the secret（秘密），结合上下文提到此前人们早就发现古代颜料里有鸡蛋，这次新研究是揭开了鸡蛋保护画作的原理，推导划线词的含义。
3. 第三题题干关键词是egg yolk proteins，定位到第六段的研究结果描述，直接匹配选项即可。
4. 第四题题干关键词是Sutherland's words，定位到最后一段他的发言内容，推导其隐含含义，匹配选项。
【解析】
1. 推理判断题：根据原文第四段"Researchers also pointed out that one beer by-product was used as 'glue' because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster."可知，啤酒的副产品被当作胶水使用，能让颜料干得更快，作用就是让颜料附着更牢固，对应A选项“帮助颜色附着得更好”；B选项“保持画作干净”、C选项“让画作更鲜艳”、D选项“给画作不同的质感”原文均未提及，排除。
2. 词义猜测题：划线词所在句表达的是这项新研究“____”鸡蛋如何保护艺术品的秘密，结合上下文此前人们只知道古代颜料里添加了鸡蛋，这次研究探明了背后的原理，搭配“秘密”的动作含义是“发现、破解”，和C选项Discovered含义一致；A选项Kept（保留）、B选项Shared（分享）、D选项Explored（探索，强调过程）均不符合语境，排除。
3. 细节理解题：根据原文第六段"It could also reduce wrinkling as the egg makes the paint smoother."可知，蛋黄里的蛋白质可以减少褶皱，让颜料更顺滑，对应D选项；A选项“颜料老化更快”和原文延缓氧化的描述相反，B选项“颜料干得更快”和最后一段提到加了鸡蛋的油画干得更慢的描述相反，C选项“颜料颜色更好看”原文未提及，排除。
4. 推理判断题：根据最后一段Sutherland的发言"The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate what they're doing"可知，了解艺术家选择、使用材料的思路，才能更好地欣赏他们的作品，说明理解艺术家的想法十分重要，对应B选项；A选项“用正确方法欣赏艺术品很容易”原文未提及，C选项“研究早期艺术品很难”无依据，D选项“帮助人们理解艺术品是必要的”不是他话语的核心含义，排除。
【答案】
1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B
