1. —What great fun it was to work as ________ UNICEF volunteer!
— Yeah. It was amazing to help children from Asia.
A. the B. / C. an D. a
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——作为联合国儿童基金会的志愿者是多么有趣啊！——是的。帮助来自亚洲的孩子是很了不起的。
考查冠词辨析。此处表示泛指，且UNICEF是以辅音音素开头的，故选D。
2. —Our parents want us to be ________ when we face difficulties during our lives.
—Yes, we should believe in ourselves.
A. comfortable B. energetic C. patient D. confident
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——当我们在生活中遇到困难时，我们的父母希望我们充满信心。——是的，我们应该相信自己。
考查形容词辨析。comfortable舒服的；energetic精力充沛的；patient有耐心的；confident有信心的。根据“we should believe in ourselves”可知，我们应该相信自己，说明父母希望我们要有自信。故选D。
3. —Is Jessica giving us a speech this evening?
—No, it ________ be her. She ________ Japan.
A. mustn’t; has gone to B. mustn’t; has been to
C. can’t; has gone to D. can’t; has been to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——今天晚上是Jessica为我们发表演讲吗？——不，不可能是她。她去了日本。
考查情态动词表推测及has gone to VS has been to。must表推测时，只能用于肯定句中。题干中根据“No”可知，是个否定句，故排除A和B。has gone to表示“去了某地，还未回来”；has been to表示“去过某地，已经回来了”。根据回答的前半句可知，Jessica还未回来，用has gone to。故选C。
4. A class meeting ______ to help students learn more about the history of the CPC next Monday.
A. hold B. held C. is held D. will be held
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：下周一将举行一次班会，以帮助学生们更多地了解中国共产党的历史。
考查一般将来时态的被动语态。根据“next Monday”可知，句子的时态是一般将来时；结合“A class meeting”和“hold”，两者是动宾关系，因此此空用被动语态。故选D。
5. —What do you think of the situation of the illness in Guangzhou?
—Really terrible. But ________, I think they need to keep people separated.
A. in all B. at all C. above all D. after all
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你认为广州的病情如何？ ——真糟糕。但最重要的是，我认为他们需要让人们分开。
考查副词短语。in all总共；at all根本；above all最重要的是；after all毕竟。根据“I think they need to keep people separated”可知，少聚集是预防疫情扩散最重要的事。故选C。
6. —I feel lonely but I don’t know who ________.
—Why not turn to your classmates?
A. to talk B. to talk to C. talks to D. to talk about
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我感到很孤独，但又不知道和谁说。——为什么不求助于你的同学呢？
考查动词短语和动词不定式。talk“说话”；talk to sb.“和某人交谈”；talk about sth.“谈论某事”。根据“I don’t know who...”可知，“who...”的结构为“疑问词+to do”，作宾语，故排除选项C；空前是who，此处应用动词短语talk to sb.，所以空处是to talk to。故选B。
7. — Mum, can I choose a summer course?
— Of course. You are ______ to decide things by yourself.
A. too old B. too young C. old enough D. enough old
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——妈妈，我可以选一门暑期课程吗?——当然。你已经长大了，可以自己做决定了。
考查固定结构辨析。enough修饰形容词需后置，可排除D项。too…to表示“太……而不能……”，表否定意义；“形容词+ enough + to do”表示“足够……可以做某事”。old 年龄大的，young 年轻的；根据“to decide things by yourself”可知young和too…to结构都不合句意，故选C。
8. —Mum, I’ll get the chance to be trained in Canada for free this summer.
—Really? Sounds ________.
A. good B. well C. quite well D. enough
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——妈妈，今年夏天我有机会免费去加拿大接受培训。——真的吗？听起来很好。
good好的，形容词；well好地，副词；quite well相当好；enough足够的。根据“Sounds…”可知，空后缺少形容词作表语，意思为“听起来很好。”。故选A。
9. It’s important ________ the government ________ basic education for children in poor areas.
A. of; to provide B. of; provide C. for; to provide D. for; to providing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：政府为贫困地区的儿童提供基础教育是很重要的。
考查介词和非谓语动词。句型It is+adj.+of/for sb.+to do sth.表示“做……对某人而言是……的”，如果形容词是描述人的品质的，要用介词of；若形容词描写事物性质，则用for；形容词“important”与事物性质相关，介词应用for。to后接动词原形，而不是动名词。故选C。
10. —How beautiful this kind of computer is! Where did you buy it?
—It ________ in that shop. It sells well.
A. sells B. is selling C. is sold D. was selling
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——这种电脑多漂亮啊！你在哪里买的？——它在那家店里售卖。它卖得很好。
考查动词时态与语态。sells售卖，一般现在时；is selling正在售卖，现在进行时；is sold被售出，一般现在时的被动语态；was selling正在售卖，过去进行时。根据“It sells well.”可知，时态为一般现在时；主语“It”与动词sell是被动关系，所以此空是一般现在时的被动语态。故选C。
11. —Excuse me, would you mind _________ the window to get some more fresh air?
—Of course not.
A. opening B. open C. close D. to close
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——打扰一下，你介意开窗户多呼吸新鲜空气吗？——当然不。
考查动名词作宾语。opening打开，动名词形式；open打开，动词原形；close关闭，动词原形；to close动词不定式。根据“to get some more fresh air”可知应是打开窗户，故排除C、D，由mind可知，应是mind doing“介意做……”，doing作宾语，故选A。
12. — Excuse me, sir. But you’re ________ my way.
— Sorry. I didn’t know you were passing by.
A. on B. in C. with D. by
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——对不起，先生，你挡道了。——对不起。我不知道你路过。
考查介词和介词短语。on在……上面；in在……里面；with和……一起；by通过；on one’s way在路上；in one’s way挡某人的路；by the way顺便。根据“Sorry.”可知，感到抱歉，应是挡路了，故选B。
13. My grandparents ______ for almost 50 years and they live a happy life now.
A. marry B. married C. have married D. have been married
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：我的爷爷奶奶结婚差不多50年了，他们现在过着幸福的生活。
考查动词的时态。根据“for almost 50 years”可知句子是现在完成时，表示在某个时间段发生的事情，用延续性动词，表示“结婚”用“ been married”。故选D。
14 — I bought this dictionary two weeks ago.
— You mean you ________ it for half a month
A. have bought B. have had C. have been bought D. bought
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我两周前买了这本字典。——你的意思是你已经买这本字典半个月了。
考查现在完成时，延续性动词和非延续性动词。根据“for half a month”可知，此处是现在完成时，现在完成时可以用来表示发生在过去某一时刻的，持续到现在的动作（用行为动词表示）或状态（be动词表示），现在完成时中，非延续性动词不能与for和since引导的表示一段时间的状语连用，通常是用相应的延续性动词来代替。buy对应的延续性状态词是have，所以此处使用have had。故选B。
15. —Jack got up late this morning. And his bike was broken on the way to school.
— . What a bad day for him!
A. No pain, no gain B. It never rains but pours
C. Practice makes perfect D. Burn the candle at both ends
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——杰克今天早上起得很晚。他的自行车在上学的路上坏了。——祸不单行，对于他来说多么倒霉的一天。
考查谚语。No pain, no gain没有付出就没有收获； It never rains but pours祸不单行；Practice makes perfect熟能生巧； Burn the candle at both ends鱼与熊掌难以兼得。根据下文“What a bad day for him!”可知这里是It never rains but pours祸不单行。根据题意，故选B。

Every year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time, I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.
I couldn’t stop imagining who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She’d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across from the street. I’d delivered his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.
A month before my high school graduation, my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her own sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery.
When I was 26, I got married. My mother died ten years after I was married. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
34. The writer first got a white gardenia as a present on her ________ birthday.
A. 13th B. 8th C. 14th D. 11th
35. When the writer first received the present, she ________.

B. she didn’t know who sent her the white flower
C. she missed her high school graduation dance
D. she didn’t have a new dress for the graduation dance

【答案】34. D 35. A 36. A 37. D 38. C
【解析】

【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“A month before my high school graduation, my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance”可知，作者高中毕业前一个月，父亲去世了，作者为此感到很伤心。故选A。

“John,” he said, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.”
“Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John. I went as fast as possible.
When we arrived at Dr White’s house, John told him, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to her immediately.”
“Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked.
The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my very best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket(毛毯) on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep.
Over and over again, John said to himself, “Stupid boy! Stupid boy!”
I was now very sick, and John was nursing(护理) me night and day.
The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.”
John said, “Black Beauty went so fast, he seemed to know what was wrong.”
But after that I was ill for a long time, and I thought I was going to die. One night Thomas Green, Joe’s father, came in to help John.
He told John, “Joe is very upset(心烦) about Black Beauty. He knows it was all his fault(错误). He is young, he is not a bad boy.”
John said slowly, “I know he’s not a bad boy. But you see, that horse is very special to us all. But don’t worry, I think Beauty is going to get better.”
And sure enough, in the morning I was much better.
