“similar”：形容词，意思是 “相似的”。 “different”：形容词，意思是 “不同的”。
“valuable”：形容词，意思是 “有价值的”。 “object”：作形容词时意思是 “客观的”；

【答案】A
【解析】句意：我要把你的名字加到名单吗？我们还需要一个参赛者。
“add...to...”：短语，意思是 “把…… 添加到……”。 “put...up”：短语，意思有 “张贴；举起等”。
“divide...into”：短语，意思是 “把…… 分成”。“separate...from”：短语，意思是 “把…… 和…… 分开”。

“certain”：形容词，意思是 “确定的”。 “impossible”：形容词，意思是 “不可能的”。

“different”：形容词，意思是 “不同的”。 “beautiful”：形容词，意思是 “美丽的”。
“familiar”：形容词，意思是 “熟悉的”。 “similar”：形容词，意思是 “相似的”。
因为说可以任选一个，所以说明款式是 “相似的”（similar），“不同的” 就不能任选了，“美丽的”“熟悉的” 不符合这里的语境。答案选D

【答案】A

“objects”：名词，意思是 “物体”。 “insects”：名词，意思是 “昆虫”。

A. paper B. envelope C. stamp D. letter
【答案】B
【解析】句意：在我们寄信之前，应该把正确的地址写在信封上。

【答案】A
【解析】句意：让我给你展示一张绝对地很棒的故宫邮票。
“absolutely”：副词，意思是 “绝对地”。“completely”：副词，意思是 “完全地”，更多用于修饰动作完成的程度。“really”：副词，意思是 “真地”。“sincerely”：副词，意思是 “真诚地”。

14. Jack usually __________ an hour ___________ his homework.

【解析】介绍了中国第一套邮票 “大龙” 的相关情况，包括其发行时间（1878 年清朝时期）、象征意义、设计特点、印刷次数及每次的变化、价值等，还提到这些邮票帮助我们了解过去人们寄信的方式，强调了其在历史和收藏方面的重要性。
1.A 句意： “中国有悠久的邮政系统历史”。“a long history” 表示 “一段悠久的历史”，这里是泛指，不是特指，所以用不定冠词 “a”，因为 “long” 是以辅音音素开头的单词，不能用 “an”，所以选 A。
2.C 句意：“在 1878 年（清朝时期），第一套名为‘大龙’的三张邮票发行了”。这里讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时，“come” 的过去式是 “came”，所以选 C。
3.D 句意：“事实上，在古代龙是皇帝的象征”。“in ancient times” 是固定短语，意为 “在古代”，所以选 D。
4.B句意：“人们也能看到龙周围的云和水”。“can” 表示 “能够”，这里是说人们有能力看到龙周围的云和水，“must” 表示 “必须”，“need” 表示 “需要”，“should” 表示 “应该”，都不符合句意，所以选 B。
5.B句意：“每种邮票都有它自己的颜色 ——1 分银的是绿色，3 分银的是红色，5 分银的是黄色”。“its” 是 “it” 的所有格形式，表示 “它的”，这里指 “邮票的”，所以选 B。
6.B句意： “这些邮票被印刷了三次，每次它们都有一些变化”。“a few” 后面接可数名词复数，“change” 作名词时，复数形式是 “changes”，所以选 B。
7.C 句意： “第二次，他们把邮票之间的间距变大了”。这里表示顺序，“第二次” 要用 “the second time”，“two” 是基数词，“twice” 表示 “两次”，是副词，“secondly” 是副词，所以选 C。
8.D句意： “根据 2024 年的《杭州日报》，发现一整套‘大龙’邮票可能高达约 5000 万元并不令人惊讶”。“it is + 形容词 + to do sth.” 是固定句型，表示 “做某事是…… 的”，所以选 D。
9. B句意：“这些旧邮票现在非常特别并且有价值”。“valuable” 是形容词，表示 “有价值的”，“value” 作名词是 “价值”，作动词是 “重视”，“valueless” 表示 “无价值的”，根据句意选 B。
10.A句意： “它们帮助我们记起在人们像我们今天这样有快速传递信息的方式之前，很久之前人们是如何寄信的”。“before” 表示 “在…… 之前”，这里是说在有现代快速通信方式之前的情况，“because” 表示 “因为”，“if” 表示 “如果”，“so that” 表示 “以便”，都不符合句意，所以选 A。
