2.Does the pencil case on the desk belong to________?
A. his B. he C. him D. she
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：桌子上的铅笔盒是他的吗？
考查代词。his他的，物主代词；he他，主格；him他，宾格；she她，主格；根据句意理解可知，句中belong to是谓语动词，to后面要接宾语，所以应该用宾格，故选C。
3.I haven’t got bread for everyone here. Would you please go and get some more?
A. a little B. a few C. enough D. many
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：我没有足够的面包给这里的每个人吃，你能再去拿些吗？
A. a little一些（修饰不可数名词）；B. a few一些（修饰可数名词复数）；C. enough足够的（可以修饰可数，也可以修饰不可数名词）；D. many许多（修饰可数名词复数），根据所给空后面的bread“面包”不可数名词，排除B和D，由后面的for everyone here可知，应该是没有足够的面包给这的每一个人吃，故答案选C。
4.There are more than three________ different trees in the forests.
A. thousands of B. thousand of C. thousands D. thousand
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：森林里有三千多棵不同的树。
考查数词。thousands of成千上万；thousand of错误结构；thousands千，复数形式；thousand千；根据句意理解可知，空格前有具体的数字three，所以这里thousand应该用单数形式，且后面不能加of，故选D。
【点睛】英语中hundred/ thousand/ million/ billion四个词的用法要注意。如果前面有具体的数字，则这四个词后面不可以加s也不可以加of；如果前面没有具体的数字，则四个词需要加s加of，表达概数。本题中前面有具体数字，所以不需要加s也不需要加of。
5.The bus driver ought to be ________ the passengers’ safety.
A. do with B. take charge of C. in brief D. responsible for
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：公共汽车司机应该对乘客的安全负责。
考查形容词短语。do with处理；take charge of看管；in brief简而言之；responsible for为……负责；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“对乘客的安全负责”，而空格前有be动词，所以这里直接用形容词即可，故选D。
6.The________ fish doesn’t taste ________.
A. freezing, good B. frozen, good C. freezing, well D. frozen, well
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：冻鱼不好吃。
考查非谓语和形容词。freezing冰冻的，现在分词；good好的，形容词；frozen冰冻的，过去分词；well好地，副词；根据句意理解可知，第一空表达的是“冰冻的鱼”，鱼是被冰冻的，所以这里应该用过去分词作定语，而第二空表达的是“尝起来不好”，taste是系动词，后面应该接形容词作表语，所以应该用good，故选B。
7.They had to go out and hunt for food to keep themselves __________.
A. live B. life C. lives D. alive
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：他们不得不出去寻找食物来维持自己的生命。
考查形容词辨析。live居住，动词，也可作形容词“活着的”，；life生命，名词；lives居住、生活，动词或名词；alive“活着的”，形容词。根据句意：他们不得不出去寻找食物来维持自己的生命，可知应用alive，keep＋adj. 表示保持某种状态，keep sb. alive使某人活着,故答案选D。
【点睛】live作形容词“活着的”，通常指物，不指人，常用来作定语放在名词的前面；alive“活着的”，形容词，可用于指人或物。主要用作表语(有时可用作后置定语，但不用作前置定语)，侧重说明生与死之间的界限；living作形容词，意为“活的”，用作表语或定语，可用于人或物，通常是客观描述某人“尚在人间”或“健在”。
8.—I called you at three yesterday afternoon, but you weren’t in.
—I ________ a meeting at that time.
A. had B. was having C. have had D. would have
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——昨天下午三点我打电话给你，但你不在。——我那时正在开会。
考查时态。had有，过去式；was having正在有，过去进行时；have had已经有，现在完成时；would have将有，过去将来时；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是过去的某个时间正在进行的动作，所以应该用过去进行时，故选B。
9.The notice warns people________mobikes inside the housing estate
A. to park B. don’t park C. not park D. not to park
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：这个通知警告人们不要把共享单车停在住宅区。根据句意，警告不要把共享单车停在住宅区，警告某人做某事：warn sb. to do sth.警告某人不要做某事：warn sb. not to do sth.（不定式的否定：not to do sth），故选D。
点睛：句子的谓语动词从动词的时态、语态上分析其恰当形式，而非谓语动词，则从一些结构、固定搭配上去分析其正确形式。
10.National parks in our country________these rare tigers________making special laws.
A. keep, against B. protect, by C. stop, from D. protect, from
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：我们国家的国家公园通过制定一些特殊的法律的方式来保护这些稀有的老虎。A. keep, against使……反对……，使稀有的老虎反对特殊的法律，错；B. protect, by 通过……保护……：通过制定特殊的法律的方式来保护； C. stop, from 阻止……做……：阻止制定特殊的法律，错； D. protect, from 保护……以免受……伤害：保护稀有的老虎，以免受到制定法律的伤害，含义不通顺。错。故选B。
11.I am interested in European history________I will visit European doing my holiday.
A. so B. but C. as D. although
【答案】A
【解析】
句意：因为我对欧洲历史感兴趣，所以我要去旅游欧洲度假。A. so因此，所以，表示结果；B. but但是，表示转折；C. as因为，表示原因；D. although虽然，表示条件。因为对欧洲历史感兴趣，所以想要去欧洲旅游，表示结果，用连词so。故选A。
12.I’m sorry, children over 1.4 meters________pay the full price for the show.
A. may B. must C. can D. ought to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：对不起，超过1.4米的孩子必须为演出付全价。
考查情态动词。may可能；must必须；can能，会；ought to应该；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“必须”，所以应该用must表示，这是must情态动词的本身用法，故选B。
13.________ useful suggestion you’ve given us!
A. How B. What C. What a D. What an
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：你给我们的建议真有用！
考查感叹句。根据句意理解及句子结构分析可知，这里句子主语是you，谓语是have given，而主语前面还有另外的名词suggestion，且是一个可数名词单数形式，所以这里应该用不定冠词修饰，useful是辅音音素开头的单词，所以这里应该用a，故选C。
【点睛】注意英语中感叹句的用法结构。1. What+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!2. What+(形容词)+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语! 3. How+形容词/ 副词+主语+谓语! 4. How+主语+谓语!做题时要根据句子结构来分析应该用哪个结构，选择what引导的结构之后，一定要注意所给的名词是否可数，要不要用冠词。本题中suggestion是可数名词，且是单数形式，且空格后是辅音音素开头，所以要用不定冠词a。
14.Learning to do some team work with ________ is important in our daily life.
A. others B. the others C. other D. another
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们日常生活中，学会与其他人团队合作是重要的。
考查代词。others其他的，其他人；the others指代剩余的所有；other其他的，后接复数名词；another另一个，不确定数目的另一个；根据句意理解可知，空格后面没有名词，所以排除C选项，another不符合语境，而这里表达的是“和别人一起工作”，所以这里应该用others，故选A。
【点睛】英语中不定代词other/ the other/ others/ the others的区别要注意。other其他的，后面要接复数名词；the other另一个，表示两者中的另一个；others其他的，表示剩余的一部分，也可以指代“别人”，本题就是这个用法；the others其他的，表示剩余的所有，在题目中的用法要注意，根据句意所指代的内容来区分。
15.It is important for everyone ________his promise in his life.
A. keep B. to keep C. keeping D. kept
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：对每个人来说，在生活中遵守诺言是很重要的。
考查非谓语。keep保持，动词原形；to keep保持，动词不定式；keeping保持，现在分词或动名词形式；kept保持，过去式或过去分词；根据句意理解及句子结构分析可知，这里是不定式的逻辑主语结构，英语是It is adj for sb to do sth，这里It是形式主语，句子真正的主语是动词不定式，所以这里应该用不定式，故选B。
16.—Must we finish the work right now?
—No, you ________. You can do it tomorrow.
A. needn’t B. shouldn’t C. mustn’t D. can’t
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我们现在必须完成这项工作吗？——不，你不必。你明天可以做。
考查情态动词。needn’t不需要；shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t不允许，禁止；can’t不能；根据句意理解可知，前面问句用的情态动词是must，英语中must的否定回答要用needn’t/ don’t have to，所以这里应该用needn’t，故选A。
【点睛】英语中must作为情态动词，有两个词义，在做否定回答时，用不同的词表示。作为情态动词本身，表示“必须”时，否定回答要用needn’t/ don’t have to，而作为推测用法表示“一定，肯定”时，否定回答要用can’t，做题时要注意理解句中的must表示什么用法，所以确定对应的回答词。
17.I’ve heard that __________ will happen at the School Art Festival.
A. interesting something B. something interesting
C. interesting anything D. anything interesting
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我听说学校艺术节上会有有趣的事情发生。
考查形容词修饰不定代词。通常情况下，something用于肯定句，anything用于否定句和疑问句，本句为肯定句，故C、D选项可排除。根据英语表达习惯，something、anything、nothing等不定代词被形容词修饰时，形容词放在不定代词后面，故空格处应填入something interesting，故选B。
18. Doctor Ray, as well as other scientists __________ trees for nearly 15 years, but they know only a little about them.
A. study B. studies C. has studied D. have studied
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：句意：Doctor Ray也和其他的科学家们一样，已经研究那树将近15年的时间了，但是他们只知道一点有关树的情况。此题考查主谓一致，因为主语是Doctor Ray，根据句意，故选C
考点：考查主谓一致。
19.Do you know _____ ?
A. are trees communicating with one another
B. if are trees communicating with one another
C. how are trees communicating with one another
D. how trees are communicating with one another
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：你知道树木是如何相互交流的吗？
根据所给空前面的Do you know以及后面的trees可知，句子为宾语从句，宾语从句的从句中语序应为陈述语序，排除B和C，由后面的问号可知，此宾语从句需要特殊疑问词的引导词，故答案选D。
20.—Would you like me to clean the room for you?
—________
A. That’s very kind of you. B. Not at all.
C. Certainly. D. That’s all right.
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你要我帮你打扫房间吗？——你真是太好了。

考查情景交际。That’s very kind of you.你真是太好了。Not at all.不客气；Certainly当然；That’s all right.没关系。根据句意理解可知，上句是主动提出请求，所以这里应该表示对对方的感谢，故选A。

A. famous B. although C. history D. first
E. was connected with F. flew G. until

Electricity didn’t begin when Benjamin Franklin ____21____ his kite during a rainstorm, nor did it begin when people first used light bulbs.

When Edison’s generator (发电机) ____26____ James Watt’s steam engine, it became possible to produce a lot of electricity at last. Scottish inventor Watt was born in 1763. His name was given to the electric unit of power, the watt (瓦特).
【答案】21. F 22. B
23. A 24. C
25. D 26. E
【解析】
文章讲述了电是怎么发明的，以及单位“瓦特”的由来。
【21题详解】
句意：当本杰明富兰克林在暴雨中放风筝时，电并没有开始。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“放风筝”，英语是fly a kite，而前句用的是过去时，所以这里应该也用过去时，fly的过去式是flew，故选F。
【22题详解】
句意：电虽然看不见，但一直存在。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“虽然，尽管”，英语是although，是一个连词，在英语中引导让步状语从句，故选B。
【23题详解】
句意：我们都听说过一些著名的科学家。

根据句意理解及后句such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison可知，这里表达的是“著名的”，英语是famous，在句中作定语，修饰后面的名词scientists，故选A。
【24题详解】
句意：但许多其他重要的发明家已被埋葬在历史中。

根据句意理解及后句Back in ancient Greece, scientists began to study electricity.可知，这里表达的是“历史”，英语是history，故选C。
【25题详解】
句意：2000多年后的1600年，英国科学家威廉·吉尔伯特在一份报告中首次使用了“电”这个词。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“第一次”，英语中表达“第几”要用序数词，所以这里应该用first，故选D。
【26题详解】
句意：当爱迪生的发电机与詹姆斯瓦特的蒸汽机相连时，终于可以产生大量的电。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“连接”，英语是be connected with，而文章讲述的是过去的事情，所以这里be动词应该用过去时，而句子主语是generator，是单数名词，所以这里的be动词应该用was，故选E。
IV. Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms.
27.We all need your ________about the things that happened yesterday. (explain)
【答案】explanation
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们都需要你解释昨天发生的事。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“解释”，所给的词explain是一个动词，而空格前有your，所以空格前应该用一个名词，explain的名词是explanation，而这里指的是“你的解释”，所以应该用单数形式，故答案为explanation。
28.As a kindergarten teacher, you mustn’t be so ________ with the children. (patient)
【答案】impatient
【解析】
【详解】句意：作为一名幼儿园教师，你不能对孩子们如此不耐烦。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“不耐烦的”，而所给的词patient是指“耐心的”，所以这里要变成反义词，patient的反义词需要在前面加im，在这里构成be impatient with sb，是一个固定短语，故答案为impatient。
【点睛】英语中用所给词的正确形式填空这类题是考学生综合能力的题目，有对词汇的理解，对整个句子的理解，对时态和语态的运用，非谓语的应用，对固定搭配的运用，固定搭配短语平时一定要牢记，比如本题中确定这里要填一个形容词，而所给的词就是一个形容词，再由句意理解可以知道，这里应该用的是反义词。
29.I don’t want to make the wrong ________ and miss the chance. (decide)
【答案】decision
【解析】
【详解】句意：我不想做出错误的决定而错过这个机会。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“决定”，空格前有形容词wrong，所以这里空格应该用名词，而所给的词decide是一个动词，而名词是decision，在这里构成一个固定短语make the decision，故答案为decision。
30.“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” the young man asked the woman ________. (polite)
【答案】politely
【解析】
【详解】句意：“打扰一下，这个座位有人吗？”年轻人礼貌地问女人。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“礼貌地”，空格在句中修饰的是动词，英语中修饰动词要用副词，所以这里空格应该用副词，而所给词polite是一个形容词，副词是politely，故答案为politely。
31.When we produce rubber products, some ________ will be released. (chemistry)
【答案】chemicals
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们生产橡胶制品时，会释放一些化学物质。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“化学物质”，而所给的词是chemistry是“化学”，指的是一门科目，所以空格不可以用chemistry，英语中表示“化学物质”是chemical，空格前有some修饰，所以这里应该用复数形式，故答案为chemicals。
32.Harry was ________ because Jim didn’t seem to remember him. (puzzle)
【答案】puzzled
【解析】
【详解】句意：哈利很困惑，因为吉姆好像不记得他了。
根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“困惑的”，是一个形容词，在句中放在be动词后面做表语，而所给的词puzzle是一个动词或者名词，所以这里要变成形容词puzzled，修饰Harry，故答案为puzzled。
V. Rewrite the following sentences as required.
33.A drop of water sped down the mountain into the Yangtze river. (改为一般疑问句)
________ a drop of water________ down the mountain into the Yangtze river?
【答案】 (1). Did (2). speed
【解析】
【详解】句意：一滴水从山上迅速流入长江。
根据句意理解及句子结构分析可知，句中的动词sped是speed的过去式，所以确定句子用的是一般过去时，变成疑问句时，需要加助动词did，且要把助动词提到主语前，而加了助动词，原来的动词就要变成原形，故答案为Did，speed。
【点睛】英语中考查句型转换时，做题首先要观察所给的原句，理解句子表达的意思，然后再看题目的要求，根据不同的考点来做题。要注意平时学过的时态，语态等的结构转化，。比如本题要求变成疑问句，首先要根据原句动词确定时态是一般过去时，然后结合之前学过的时态结构便可知道，变成疑问句需要加助动词did，但是一定要切记，加了助动词，动词要变回原形。
34.Hans studied radio waves by doing some experiments. (对划线部分提问)
________ did Hans ________ radio waves?
【答案】 (1). How (2). study
【解析】
【详解】句意：汉斯做了一些实验来研究无线电波。
根据句意理解及划线部分by doing some experiments可知，这里是对方式的提问，英语中提问方式用疑问词how，而句中已经用到了助动词did，所以第二空应该用动词原形，故答案为How，study。
35.My sister asked me. Where do you want to have dinner tonight? (合并两句为一句)
My sister asked me where ________ ________ to have dinner tonight.
【答案】 (1). I (2). wanted
【解析】
【详解】句意：我姐姐问我今晚想在哪里吃饭。
根据句意理解及需要转换的题干中所给提示可知，这里是宾语从句，而宾语从句引导词已经给出，所以空格缺的是宾语从句的主语和谓语，而单句中的主语是you，而这里的you指代的就是主语中的宾语me，所以变成宾语从句时要改成第一人称，作主语用主格，所以这里应该填I，而主句用的是过去时，所以从句也要用过去的时态，所以应该填wanted，故答案为I wanted。
【点睛】英语中两个简单句合并成一个宾语从句时，要注意三点：1. 引导词的选择；2. 语序，必须用陈述句语序；3. 时态，主现从不限，主过从必过；一般根据这三点就可以得出答案，但是有时候还要注意两句之间的转换时人称的转换，这跟直接引语变成间接引语的原则是一样的，一般遵循“一从主，二从宾，三不变”，根据这个规律来替换合适的代词。
36.said, ought to, a secretary, that, we, Joyce, elect (连词成句)
__________________________________________________________________
【答案】Joyce said that we ought to elect a secretary.
【解析】
【详解】句意：乔伊斯说我们应该选一个秘书。
said说，过去式；ought to应该，情态动词；a secretary一个秘书；that那个，或者从句的连词；we我们；Joyce人名；elect选举；综合之后可以看出，这是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句，主句的动词应该是said，主语是Joyce，宾语从句引导词应该用that，从句中要用陈述句语序，而ought to是一个情态动词，后年要接动词原形，所以可以用elect，故答案为Joyce said that we ought to elect a secretary.
Part 3 Reading and writing
VI. Reading Comprehension.
A. Choose the best answer.
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country” It’s a famous sentence from US president John F. Kennedy’s speech in 1961.
Mark Zuckerberg, who set up (创立) social network site Facebook, must agree with Kennedy. The 35-year-old American raised $100 million for the public schools in New Jersey, US.
Who is this young billionaire? How did he make his fortune (财富)?
Zuckerberg was a computer geek (天才) at Harvard University. As a second-year student, he set up a website to put the “face books” — photos of incoming first-year student —online. The website, where people were able to share personal information, was a success at once.
Zuckerberg first opened Facebook to high school students and then to everyone. Soon it became a part of American life. Now Facebook is the most popular site in the world with 600 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.
“I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started six years ago,” Zuckerberg wrote in his blog.
Zuckerberg’s dream is to make the Internet a more connected place. That task could help Facebook make money: The more people share information about themselves online, the more money Facebook will make selling advertising.
Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye. At the company, he sits among a sea of desks like hundreds of workers. A visitor to Facebook might not even recognize Zuckerberg in T-shirt and jeans. He usually takes one two-week vacation each year with his wife Priscilla Chan, who was once a Chinese American student at Harvard. On the weekends, he roasts pig in his garden for friends and takes Mandarin (普通话) lessons.
The Social Network, a movie based on Zuckerberg’s story, was among popular films of Year 2010.
37. At the very beginning, Mark Zuckerberg set up the website in order to ________.
A. communicate with more people B. make a lot of money
C. put the photos of first-year students online D. become a famous person
38. Mark Zuckerberg gave $100 million to ________.
A. Harvard University B. the public schools in New Jersey
C. his hometown D. high school students
39. Mark Zuckerberg set up Facebook ________.
A. when he was a first-year student at Harvard University B. when he was 26 years old
C. in his second year at Harvard University D. soon after he finished the study at university
40. The underlined sentence “Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye.” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. Mark Zuckerberg tries not to attract others’ attention to his family life
B. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like to speak in public
C. Mark Zuckerberg is afraid to meet new people
D. Mark Zuckerberg chooses to live in a place far away from people
41. According to the passage, Mark Zuckerberg ________.
A. likes to roast pig for friends on weekdays B. takes Mandarin lessons
C. likes to wear suits at work D. makes some movies
42. At the beginning of the passage, the writer says Mark Zuckerberg must agree with Kennedy’s famous sentence because ________.
A. he helps to introduce America to the outside world B. he works hard to make his country rich
C. he seldom asks others to help him D. he does a lot of charity (慈善) work for his countrymen
【答案】37. C 38. B 39. C 40. A 41. B 42. D

D. Answer the questions.
This past summer, when most Chinese college students wondered where to travel, Wang Chaodi jumped into one of the hottest ways of travel – voluntourism.
Wang is a 22-year-old law student at Yunnan University. He spent three weeks taking part in community service (社区服务) in Nairobi, Kenya. At the same time, he enjoyed himself in African culture. “I want to go to the farthest end of the Earth to help people who are most in need,” he said.
On weekdays, Wang taught elementary courses at a poor orphanage (孤儿院). It was only 300 square meters large. And the students there had only an old textbook to study from. During weekends, he visited tourist sites including Masai Mara National Reserve and Amboseli Park, where he could watch amazing animals.
Voluntourism, also known as volunteer tourism, connects volunteer work with travel. Now, it is getting more and more popular among young Chinese, especially college students.
Last year, when Ciweishixi (A Shenzhen based company) carried out its South Asia voluntourism program, more than 250,000 college students signed up. According to Li Yaping, the director of the program, 3,000 young people took the trips.
“Young people today want a richer experience,” Li said. “Instead of taking regular ways such as practicing at big companies, an increasing number of them want to try unusual ways to connect with the world.”
Voluntourism doesn’t have to be international. “We hope young people can devote (付出) more attention to what’s around them before going abroad (出国),” Li added. “They can get to know more about the countryside, gain a deeper understanding of China and find future voluntourism opportunities (机会) in our own country.
