《2026年一本密卷高考英语》

1. The latest engineering techniques are applied to create this protective functional (function) structure that is also beautiful. The design features ten steel“sepals (萼片)”made of glass and aluminium (铝).

答案： 1.functional 考查形容词作定语。空处与protective并列，修饰空后的名词structure，应用形容词形式，故填functional“实用的”。句意：最新的工程技术被应用于创建这种兼具保护性和功能性且还美观的结构。

2. Yellowstone was the largest (large) United States national park—2.2 million acres—until Wrangell-Saint Elias in southern Alaska, which became a national monument in 1978, took the honors as a national park in 1980 with 12.3 million acres.

答案： 2.largest 考查形容词最高级作定语。句意：黄石公园曾经是美国最大的国家公园，占地220万英亩。直到阿拉斯加南部的Wrangell-Saint Elias在1978年成为国家纪念碑，于1980年以1230万英亩的土地被授予国家最大公园的荣誉。此处应该为形容词修饰后面的名词短语national park，而且从the这个提示和句意判断要用largest“最大的”作定语。

3. In recent years, Moutai has been looking for ways to be more accessible (access) and pull in a new generation of users, said Zhu Danpeng, a food and drink expert.

答案： 3.accessible 考查形容词作表语。句意：食品和饮料专家朱丹鹏说，最近几年，茅台一直在寻找让更多人能够接触到并吸引新一代消费者的方法。从前面的系动词be和more可以判断，此处应该用形容词比较级作表语，故填accessible。

4. It perfectly combined traditional instruments like *pipa* and *guzheng* with contemporary trends, creating a unique experience for the audience, who remained enthusiastic and engaged (engage) despite the cold weather.

答案： 4.engaged 考查形容词作表语、-ed形式形容词。句意：它将传统乐器琵琶、古筝和当代潮流完美结合，为观众创造一种独特的经历。尽管天气寒冷，观众一直保持热情和投入。从前面的remained这个系动词可以判断，此处要填形容词engaged。

5. As the weather turns warmer and air becomes drier (dry), it is recommended that people eat fresh vegetables and juicy fruits to keep themselves hydrated(含水的).

答案： 5.drier 考查形容词比较级作表语。句意：随着天气变暖，空气变得干燥，建议人们吃新鲜的蔬菜和多汁的水果来保持身体水分。根据上文“As the weather turns warmer and air becomes”可知，此处使用比较级与warmer呼应，故drier。

6. But that's how nature is—always leaving us astonished (astonish).

答案： 6.astonished 考查形容词作宾补。此句中含有“leave sb./sth.+adj.”结构，表示“使……处于某种状态”。因为宾语us与动词astonish为逻辑上的被动关系，此处应该用过去分词转化的形容词astonished作宾语补足语，说明人的感受，意为“感到吃惊的”。故填astonished。

7. When we arrived at the ball, we didn't find anyone else. Curious (curiosity), we looked around for other guests.

答案： 7.Curious 考查形容词作状语。句意：我们到达舞会时没看到其他人。出于好奇，我们四处看看寻找其他客人。此处是形容词作状语，说明主语的状态，故填Curious。

8. They waited, breathless (breath), for the result of the examination after studying for twelve years.

答案： 8.breathless 考查形容词作状语、否定后缀。此处是说他们在等待时是“屏住呼吸的”，用形容词说明主语的状态，故填breathless。

1. When Qu Yuan jumped into the river out of love for his country in 278 BC, people desperately (desperate) rowed out in boats to search for him.

答案： 1.desperately 考查副词修饰动词。句意：公元前278年，当屈原出于对国家的热爱跳进江里时，人们拼命地划船寻找他。此处修饰动词rowed，故用desperately。
