二、完成句子（每空一词）
18．从几百英尺之外就能看到这些金属桶。
The metal barrels can be seen from ________ ________ feet away.
【答案】 hundreds of
【详解】根据所给汉语意思可知，空缺处应该填的是“几百”，hundred“百”和of连用时，
用复数hundreds，表示“几百”，故填hundreds；of。
19．他的钱很快就花光了。
He ________ ________ ________ his money soon.
【答案】 ran out of
【详解】根据英汉对照可知，横线处缺的汉意是“花光”run out of，本句的时态是一般过
去时，谓语动词需用过去式。“run”的过去式是ran。故填ran；out；of。
20．不要开其他人的玩笑。
Don’t ________ ________ ________ others.
【答案】 play tricks##jokes on
【详解】开某人的玩笑：play tricks/jokes on sb，句子为否定祈使句，所以用动词原形。故
填play；tricks/jokes；on。
21．最好不要逃避解决我们的问题。
It’s best not to ________ ________ our problems.
【答案】 avoid solving
【详解】逃避做某事：avoid doing sth，解决：solve，it’s best not to do sth“最好不要做某
事”，to后用动词原形。故填aviod；solving。22．我想去伦敦而不是纽约。
I ________ go to London ________ than New York.
【答案】 would rather
【详解】由汉语和英语翻译可知，“想去”译成：would，表示意愿；“而不是”译成：
rather than，因此第二个空填rather。也就是：would do sth. rather than do sth.的用法，意为
“宁愿……而不愿……”。故填would；rather。
23．通往北京的火车票半小时前就卖光了。
The tickets to Beijing ________ ________ ________ half an hour ago.
【答案】 were sold out
【详解】sell out“卖光”，主语与动词之间是被动关系，句子描述半小时前的事情，所以是
一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数the tickets，所以用were sold out。故填were；sold；
out。
能力提升
一、单项选择
1．On snowy days, a driver must drive as ________ as possible.
A．fast B．highly C．wisely D．carefully
【答案】D
【详解】句意：在下雪天，司机必须尽可能小心驾驶。
考查副词辨析。fast快地；highly高地；wisely聪明地；carefully仔细地。根据“On snowy
days, a driver must drive as”可知，下雪天司机要尽可能小心驾驶，空处填副词原级。故选
D。
2．—I wore sports shoes to the ball yesterday evening by mistake!
—Oh, dear, you must be very _____ at the ball!
A．embarrassed B．satisfied C．tired D．surprised
【答案】A
【详解】——昨晚我错穿运动鞋参加舞会了。——天啊，你一定在舞会上非常尴尬吧。
考查形容词辨析。embarrassed尴尬的；satisfied满意的；tired疲劳的；surprised惊讶的。
根据第一句的描述“I wore sports shoes to the ball yesterday evening by mistake!”去参加舞会，
应该穿正式衣服，而不是运动鞋，所以此处是令人尴尬的。故选A。
3．--- What happened _________ you ________ April Fool’s Day?
--- I was fooled by my little brother.
A．to; on B．to; in
C．about; at D．for; on
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——愚人节那天你发生什么了？——我被我弟弟给愚弄了。
考查介词的用法。sth. happen to sb.“某人发生了某事”，所以空一处介词用to； AprilFool’s Day是具体的一天，介词用on。故选A。
4．—Alice, could you tell me London?
—Sure. Last Sunday
A．when Mr.Smith left B．when Mr.Smith will leave
C．when did Mr.Smith leave D．when will Mr.Smith leave
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——爱丽丝，你能告诉我史米斯先生什么时候离开伦敦的吗？ ——当然可
以。上星期天。
根据could you tell me _______? 可知，本题考查宾语从句，宾语从句中一般为陈述语序，
选项C/D是疑问语序，所以排除掉；再根据Last Sunday，可知这里指的是过去的时间，时
态用一般过去时。故选A。
5．In his hometown, ________ farmers leave their home to search for work in the cities.
A．hundred of B．two hundreds of C．hundreds of D．two hundreds
【答案】C
【详解】句意：在他的家乡，成百上千的农民离开家乡到城市里找工作。
考查大数表达。hundred“百”，当前面有数词时，hundred后不加s，排除B和D；当前面
无数词时，后加s和of，排除A。故选C。

拓展训练
一、阅读单选（2022·宁夏·银川三沙源上游学校一模）
It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1st each year, people play
tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces（鞋带）to their chairs.
Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared
before they realize it’s only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like “UFO” lands in New
York City) and announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”).
One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a
very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our
school cafeteria（自助餐厅）. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms
and under our feet. Feathers（羽毛）were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the
chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing
numbered tags（标签）around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught
chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No.4? The teachers looked and looked. They
couldn’t find the chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another
joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’ve been tricked by the
numbers on the chickens. It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s
Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.

A．Newspapers often cheat people.
B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.
C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.
D．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.
3．Why did students set chickens free?
A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to see feathers flying.
C．They wanted to play a trick on teachers. D．They wanted to let chickens run all round the
school.
4．How many jokes did the students play on teachers?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
5．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．April Fool’s Day B．How does April Fool’s Day come from?

1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C
【导语】
本文是一篇记叙文。它介绍了愚人节的一些风俗以及作者在高中时的一次难忘的愚人节经
历。
【详解】
1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“like‘UFO’lands in NewYork City”不明飞行物降落纽约，
和“such as‘Win an elephant!’”比如比赛胜了能获得大象。这些都是不可能的，推知fake意
为“假的”。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day.”
在愚人节当天，很难避免被愚弄。推知答案选D。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group
of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some
chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.”我上高中的时候，在愚人节那天，我们班的
一群学生和老师开了一个聪明而好玩的玩笑，他们买了一些鸡，然后在学校的自助餐厅里
把它们放了。结合下文可知，学生们把鸡放了，是为了捉弄老师们。故选C。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“After a few hours, they realized that the students had played
another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place!”几个小时后，他们发觉
学生们又和他们开了一个玩笑一开始就只有四只鸡。推断老师被愚弄两次。故选B。
5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先介绍愚人节的一些恶作剧风俗，接着介绍自己在高
中时难忘的愚人节经历。由此推断选项C“一次难忘的愚人节”符合，故选C。
