【1题详解】

一天，她的老师带着一些风筝走进教室。

to去，往；in在……里；with带着；by通过。根据句意指“带着一些风筝走进教室”，故选C。

【2题详解】

他告诉他们风筝是2000多年前中国发明的。

invent发明，一般现在时；invented一般过去时；are invented一般现在时的被动语态；were invented一般过去时的被动语态。根据句意分析主语kites和谓语动词invent之间是被动关系，又根据时间状语2,000 years ago，可知应用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done，主语为kites，所以用were，invent的过去分词为invented，故选D。

【3题详解】

我希望你们每个人都能做一个对你们来说很重要的风筝。

make制作，动词原形；to make    动词不定式；making动词现在分词；made动词过去式。“期望某人做某事”为expect sb. to do sth.，故选B。

her她的，形容词性物主代词；herself她自己，反身代词；hers她的，名词性物主代词；she她，人称代词的主格。根据空后的名词time，可知此空应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故选A。

【6题详解】

朱迪想了一会儿，回答说：“蝴蝶。”

answers回答，一般现在时；answered一般过去时；will answer一般将来时；has answered现在完成时。and连接两个并列结构，根据前半句的thought，可知此处也应用一般过去时，故选B。

他们用木棍穿过，然后朱迪在一张白纸上画了一只蝴蝶。

and和，又，表递进；but但是，表转折；or或者，表选择；so所以，表因果。根据句意，前后两句是递进关系，故选A。

【8题详解】

第二天早上，他们把风筝带到公园里测试

a不定冠词；an不定冠词；the定冠词；不填。根据句意是指把他们做好的风筝带到公园里测试，是特指，所以用定冠词the，故选C。

【9题详解】

我的蝴蝶飞得多高啊!   

What；What a；What an；How。根据四个选项可知此题考查感叹句，感叹句结构为 What +a/an+（形容词）+单数可数名词/What+(形容词）+可数名词复数或不可数名词/How+形容词（副词）+主语+谓语，分析句子结构可知此感叹句应用how引导，故选D。

【导语】本文介绍了薯片的由来。

【26题详解】

句意：你知道薯片是偶然发明的吗？根据“potato chips were…by accident”并结合备选词可知，薯片是偶然发明的，invent“发明”符合题意。根据空前的“were”可知，此处是被动语态be done。故填invented。

【27题详解】

句意：这里有一个故事。此处是here放句首的倒装句，主语a story是单数，表达的是客观事实用一般现在时，be动词用is。故填is。

【28题详解】

句意：据说是一个叫George Crum的厨师发明的。厨师的名字是George Crum，故用过去分词called作后置定语。故填called。

【29题详解】

句意：一天，在乔治工作的餐馆里，一位顾客把他的一盘炸土豆退回来，因为他说炸土豆切得太厚了。根据“they were…too thick”可知，应该是切得太厚，cut“切”符合题意。根据空前的“were”可知，此处是被动语态be done，cut的过去分词是cut。故填cut。

【30题详解】

句意：George心情不好。in a bad mood“情绪低落”。故填in。

【31题详解】

句意：又撒许多盐在他们身上，它们就咸了。根据“he sprinkled lots of salt on them,”可知，应该是咸了，salt“盐”，此处用其形容词salty作表语。故填salty。

【32题详解】

句意：他认为顾客会讨厌它们。根据“And he sprinkled lots of salt on them,”可知，放了很多盐，因此他担心顾客会讨厌它们，they“它们”符合题意，此处位于动词hate后，应该用they的宾格them。故填them。

【33题详解】

句意：然而，顾客很喜欢它们，并要求要更多。根据“He thought the customer would hate”以及“the customer loved them”可知，前后表示转折，however“然而”符合题意，句首单词首字母要大写。故填However。

【34题详解】

句意：然而，顾客很喜欢它们，并要求要更多。根据“the customer loved them and asked them for…”可知，顾客很喜欢它们，并要求要更多，many的比较级more符合题意。故填more。

【35题详解】

句意：就这样，世界上最受欢迎的食物之一被发明了。根据“one of the…favorite foods”并结合备选词可知，此处表示“世界上最受欢迎的食物之一”，world“世界”符合题意。空后有名词foods，故此空填world的名词所有格world’s。故填world’s。

四、任务型阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

This story is about Mrs. Jones, an 82-year-old lady. Although her life was hard, she was always nicely dressed every day. This morning Mrs Jones was moving to the nursing home.

Suddenly she said, “I love it!”

“But Mrs Jones, you haven’t seen the room yet!” I was surprised at her reply. She stopped and said, “Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is placed. ②It depends on how I decide to think about the room. I have already decided to love the room before I actually see it.”

Then she continued, “I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed and consider how tiny my room is. Or I can just get out of bed and be thankful that I can still enjoy a new day. Each day is a gift. ③I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories. I have stored them in my bank account (账户) before.”

Life is like a bank account. I can store the past. I can take out what I put in. ④If you have put a lot of happiness in your bank account, you can take out some of it when you feel sad.

38. I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories that I have stored in my bank account before.   

39. 如果你把很多快乐放在你的银行账户里，当你感到悲伤的时候，就可以取出一些。   

40. Attitude is everything.

【解析】

【导语】本文讲述了老妇人琼斯夫人有积极的生活态度，作者通过她的故事告诉我们：态度决定一切。

【36题详解】

在去……的路上：on the way to；她房间：her room；我：I；告诉：tell；是什么样子的what be … like。句子是一个含有宾语从句的复合句，时态为一般过去时，主从句的动词均用过去式，从句用陈述语序。故答案为On the way to her room, I told her what the room was like.

【37题详解】

根据文中“Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is placed. It depends on how I decide to think about the room.”可知， 我是否喜欢我的房间取决于我对房间的看法，it指的是“是否喜欢我的房间”这件事情。故答案为Whether I like my room or not.

【38题详解】

第二句中的them指代的是前句中的all the happy memories，这两句话可以转换成一个定语从句，先行词是all the happy memories，在从句中作宾语，关系词用that。故答案为I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories that I have stored in my bank account before.

【39题详解】

If“如果”，引导条件状语从句；have put“放”，现在完成时；a lot of happiness“很多快乐”；in your bank account“在你的银行账户里”；take out“取出”；some of it“其中的一些”；when“当……时”，引导时间状语从句；feel sad“感到伤心”。故答案为：如果你把很多快乐放在你的银行账户里，当你感到悲伤的时候，就可以取出一些。

【40题详解】

通读文章可知，本文通过讲述一位82岁老太太对生活的态度告诉我们：态度决定一切。所以文章的中心句为尾段“Attitude (态度) is everything.”。故答案为Attitude is everything.

五、词汇考查（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。

41. By the time I got to the station, the train _______ (leave).

【答案】had left

【解析】

【详解】句意：当我到达车站的时候，火车已经离开了。根据“By the time I got to the station”可知，火车离开发生在到达车站之前，而“到达”用的是过去时，所以“离开”应用过去完成时，结构是“had+过去分词”，故填had left。

42. Soft music makes me ________ (sleep).

【答案】sleep

【解析】

【详解】句意：柔和的音乐使我入睡。make sb do sth“让某人做某事”，此空应填省略to的动词不定式作宾补，故填sleep。

43. It’s ________ (polite) to shout at your parents.

【答案】impolite

【解析】

【详解】句意：对父母大喊大叫是不礼貌的。根据“to shout at your parents”可知，这种行为是不礼貌的，polite的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”符合题意。故填impolite。

44. People in Brazil are _______ (suppose) to kiss when they meet for the first time.

【答案】supposed

【解析】

【详解】句意：在巴西，人们第一次见面时应该接吻。根据“People in Brazil are…(suppose) to kiss”可知，此处是be supposed to do sth.“应该做某事”，固定短语。故填supposed。

45. My father prefers _________ (documentary) to action movies.

【答案】documentaries

【解析】

【详解】句意：我父亲喜欢纪录片而不喜欢动作片。根据“My father prefers…(documentary)”可知，此处应该用documentary的复数表示泛指。故填documentaries。

46. Many people love music that ________ (have) great lyrics.

【答案】has

【解析】

【详解】句意：许多人喜欢歌词优美的音乐。分析句子结构可知，此题是由that引导的定语从句，先行词music 是不可数名词，因此谓语用三单形式。故填has。

47. Teenagers should be allowed ________ (choose) their own friends.

【答案】to choose

【解析】

【详解】句意：青少年应该被允许选择自己的朋友。根据“be allowed”可知此处应用动词短语be allowed to do sth.表示“被允许做某事”，动词choose的不定式为to choose。故填to choose。

48. I am _________ (worry) about my grandpa.

【答案】worried

【解析】

【详解】句意：我为我爷爷担心。be worried about“担心；忧虑”。故填worried。

49. The sky lanterns _________ (make) of bamboo and covered with paper.

【答案】are made

【解析】

【详解】句意：天灯是用竹子做的，上面用纸覆盖。be made of“由……制成”，为固定短语，此句描述事实情况，应用一般现在时，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are made。

50. This schoolbag belongs to ________ (I). My books are in it.

【答案】【参考范文】

Dear Cindy,

I’m glad to know that you are coming to China. China is a country with a long history, so there are many customs here. Let me tell you some of them.

Firstly, you are supposed to shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. Secondly, when you eat dinner with other people, it’s rude to point at others with your chopsticks. And don’t make any noise when you have your soup. Besides, if you are going to a party, you are supposed to arrive at the party on time, or a few minutes early. You are not supposed to give a clock or a watch to a friend as a present, because that means “death” in Chinese.

I hope that these tips are useful. Have a good time in China!

Best wishes!

Yours,

Wang Xue
