答案以及解析

一、单选题

1.答案：B

解析：考查情景交际。I agree我同意；My pleasure愿意为您效劳；You're welcome不客气；Take it easy放松点。根据“could you please show me how to pay online?”可知问句表达请求，故应表达“愿意为您效劳”。故选B。

2.答案：D

解析：本题主要考察数词用法。英语中数词表示概数时，后面加s，和介词of搭配使用。用原形时表示具体数字和数词搭配使用。句意：在奥运会之后，成千上万的人来这座城市参观。结合语境可知本句中表示概数，故选D。

3.答案：A

4.答案：C

解析：A. interest兴趣；B. Idea主意；C. sense感觉；D. plan计划；句意：唐小姐没有时间观，他总是开会迟到。结合句意，故选C。

5.答案：A

解析：句意为：—学生不应该不吃早餐就去上学。—对。我觉得是这样。without和with都可表示伴随，前者有否定意义，表示“没有”；for：指“作为……”。根据语境可知应选A。

6.答案：B

解析：句意：有人经常在隔壁唱歌。根据句意可知是经常发生的事情，需要用一般现在时，不定代词做主语看做单数。所以谓语动词用第三人称单数，故选B。

7.答案：B

解析：句意：一你去哪里了？一我去超市了。have gone to去了某个地方，还没回来；have been to去过某地，已经回来了。根据对话的意思可知，我去超市，现在已经回来了，故选B。

8.答案：B

解析：句意：这头小象重多少？至少50磅，因为它每顿吃好多。故选B。

9.答案：B

解析：句意：他喜欢打网球，他不喜欢散鼓。此题考查定冠词，play+球类，play+the+乐器类，故选B.

10.答案：B

解析：考查动词辨析。control控制；begin开始；get得到； listen听。句意：—你为什么跑得那么快？—大厅有个演讲。5分钟后就要开始了。故选B。

11.答案：C
解析：句意:以下哪项可能不是一场灾难? 考查名词辨析和常识。Flood洪水; Storm暴风雨; Fire火; Earthquake地震。根据常识可知, 火也可用于日常生活中, 不算是灾难, 故选C。

12.答案：D

解析：考查非谓语动词及形容词。句意：去中国科学技术博物馆怎么样?那听起来不错，但是太远了。what about后如果跟动词要用跟动名词形式；sound是系动词，后跟形容词。据句意，故选D.

13.答案：C

解析：句意：—李平的房间和你的房间，谁的房间更大？—他的房间。但是我的房间更洁净。分析选项：you你，人称代词主格或宾格形式；your你的，形容词性物主代词；yours你的，名词性物主代词；yourself你自己，反身代词。明确在询问你的房间，因此用名词性物主代词。故选C。

14.答案：C

解析：句意：—Bob，你能告诉我你新年的决心吗？—我还不太确信。此题考查固定短语be sure about sth确信某事，故选C。

15.答案：B

解析：本题考查a，an, the的区别。不定冠词表示泛指，定冠词表示特指。不定冠词a(an)，是"一个"的意思。a用于辅音音素前，而an则用于元音音素前。根据题意"我上周买了一个闹钟。"可知表示泛指，因此应用a或an，又因alarm的第一个音素为元音音素，所以答案选B。

二、完形填空

答案：1-5CBCBA 6-10BBACA
解析：1.由backyard可知, 应该是踢足球。play soccer"踢足球", 故选C。

3.由表示转折的连词but可知, 重开电视并没有成功, 即什么变化都没有。故选C。
4.由下文"Without street lights, the stars were bright and..."可知, 此处表示"凯文建议去外面看星星"。故选B。
5.由上文"Without street lights, the stars were bright..."可推断星星很亮, 很容易被看到。故选A。
6.空格前后为递进关系。故选B。
7.修饰形容词fantastic应该用how, 故选B。
8.上文说去外面看星星, 此处是进屋了。故选A。
9.由下文"The family spent the night playing cards and telling stories by candlelight."可判断此处为candles。故选 C。
