1～5 BACAB 6～10 BABBA 11～15 ABBAA 16～20 ACABC
Ⅱ.21.C
taste“尝起来”；smell“闻起来”；sound“听起来”；feel“摸起来；觉得”。本句中代
词it 指代上句中提到的Gangnam Style 这首歌，歌曲与听觉相关，故用连系动词sound。句
意：“你知道Gangnam Style 这首歌吗？”“当然知道。它听起来很有趣。”
22.C
答语句意为“我通过和美国朋友聊天来练习英语”。这表示的是学习英语的方式，故用
by；“和……一起”用介词with，chat with sb.意为“和某人聊天”。
23.B
decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”，为固定搭配，故选B。
24.A
由句意知，“他成为一名老师，给学生少布置作业”是一种假设的情况，故if 意为“如
果”，引导的是条件状语从句；主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，且he 是第
三人称单数，故用becomes。
25.C
mind doing sth.意为“介意做某事”，故选C。
26.A
动词不定式作tell 的宾语补足语，tell sb.(not) to do sth.意为“告诉某人（不）做某事”，
故选A。句意：我总是告诉我的学生不要在公路上玩，因为那样很危险。
27.C
turn off“关闭”；put on“穿上”；get off“下车”；set up“搭起”。句意为“直到车停
下你才能下车”，故get off 符合句意。
28.C
本题考查交际用语。根据She is a doctor there.“她是那里的一名医生”可知该处为“不
用担心”，故选C。
29.C
enjoy oneself 是固定搭配，意为“玩得开心，过得愉快”。
30.A
本题考查代词用法。by oneself意为“靠某人自己”，learn...by oneself意为“自学”。
31.D
none（三者或三者以上中）没有一个；neither 两者都不；all 三者或三者以上都；both 两者都。
根据后文“They are useful for English learners.（他们对英语学习者有用处。）”可推知：
这两者都喜欢，故选D。
32.B
本题考查动词词义。understand 理解，明白；imagine 想象，设想；consider 考虑到；expect 期
盼。根据前句“因特网与我们的日常生活联系如此密切”可知，本句句意为“你能想象没
有它的生活吗？”。故imagine 符合句意。
33.A
本题考查动词短语辨析。give out 分发，散发；cut out 切掉；put out 熄灭；find out 查明，弄
清。由本句句意“许多志愿者在日本海啸之后给当地人分发食物和水”可知，give out 符
合句意。
34.D
used to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“过去常常做某事”；be used to doing sth.也是固定搭
配，意为“习惯于做某事”。故选D。答语句意：她很好。她过去常常晚饭后在家看电视。但
现在她习惯于外出散步。
35.D
本题考查情景交际。Could I...表示委婉地请求允许。根据答语中Don’t you see the
sign“Line up, please”?（你难道没看到“请排队”的标牌吗？）可知此处为拒绝对方请
求。http://www.xkb1.com/
Ⅲ.36.D 由下文“Because their parents do almost everything for them at home.”可知，在家里他们
的父母几乎为他们做所有的事情，他们不知道如何做家务。故选D。
37.C on business 意为“出差”，是固定搭配。
38.B so 意为“因此”；because 意为“因为”；but 意为“但是”；until 意为“直到”。由句意“起

由下句“Oh，it’s time to have supper.”可知，她感到饿了。故选A。
41.B 由上句知用一般过去时态，know 是实义动词，因此借助于助动词did 构成否定。
42.D 由上文“One day her parents went away...”可知，她非常想念她的父母。
43.B 由上句“At last she could only go to the supermarket...”可知，她去超市买吃的。故选B。

45.C actually 意为“实际上；真实地”；carelessly 意为“随便地，粗心地”；properly 意为“适
当地”；slowly 意为“慢慢地”。句意为“所以我认为他们应当学会一些基本的生活技能，

IV. 46.B 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第一段首句In April this year,lots of bags full
of small change were seen at bus stops in Tianjin.(今年4 月，人们在天津的公交车站看
到了许多装满零钱的袋子)可知，零钱袋放在公交车站。
47.D 我们可用“直接法”解答本题。由第三段中的The four boys spent their whole
weekend making the change bags.可知，利用整个周末来制作这些零钱袋的是那四个男
孩。故选D。
48.A 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第一段中的And such an idea came from four
students from Zhongbei Middle School,Tianjin.(这个主意来自天津中北中学的四名学
生)可知A 项正确。
49.C 我们可用“主旨大意法”解答本题。本文讲述了中北中学的四名学生，在天津公交车站
放置零钱袋，帮助乘客，给自己带来快乐的故事。所以本文的主旨是提供帮助给我们带来
快乐。http://www.xkb1.com/
50.D 我们可用“主旨大意法”解答本题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了莫莉为了平衡事业
与家庭的关系而对公司作出调整的事。D 项“莫莉对她的公司作了改变”与此相符，故
选D。
51.B 我们可用“词义猜测法”解答本题。be interested in 意为“对……感兴趣”；take part
in 意为“参加，参与”；be nervous about 意为“忧虑……”；learn about 意为“了解”。
由前面莫莉对公司作的调整及后面的...and she’s going to stay in touch with the people
who work for her...（……并且她与为她工作的人保持联系……)可推知，她“参与”决策。
故选B。
52.C 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第三段莫莉谈到萨莉时说I know that Sally’s
going to be a very nice manager...（我知道萨莉将会成为非常棒的经理……)和她接下来
的话She’s only been here a couple of days and she’s already shown me how to work
out a few problems we were having.（她来这里只有几天的时间，她已经向我展示了如何
解决我们遇到的一些问题)知选C“她已有能力解决一些问题”。
53.B 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第二段可知莫莉对公司作出调整，不是不想再经
营公司，而是想抽出时间多照顾些家庭，所以A 项所述错误；由第三段中莫莉对萨莉的评
价可知她对萨莉是很满意的，故B 项所述正确；由第一段可知莫莉觉得孩子对保姆的了解
比对她的了解还多，但没有对保姆不满的意思，所以C 项所述错误；由第一、二段可知莫
莉在事业上很成功，但在家庭方面，她正在努力进行平衡，故D 项所述错误。
54.C 我们可用“逻辑推理法”解答本题。通读全文可知，莫莉为了平衡事业与家庭的关系对
公司进行了调整，以便自己可以有更多的时间陪孩子、照顾家庭。故选C。
P V. 55.What’s, with him
56.much too busy; too many
57.went,with

59.on the same day
VI. 60.swim
61.a sore stomach
62.so tired that, couldn’t
63.enough, to jump
64.stop smoking because of its
VII.65.well 结合上下文可知此处句意应为“他感觉不太舒服”。well 形容词，意为“舒服的，舒适
的”。
66.like like this 意为“像这样”，由句意“他像这样多久了？”可知正确答案。
67.fever 由答语“不，我一小时前给他测体温，看起来很正常。”可知此处是问是否发烧，have
a fever 意为“发烧”；take temperature 意为“测体温”。
68.over 短语check sb. over 意为“仔细检查某人”。
69.worry “Don’t worry.”意为“不用担心。”由下文的“He’ll be better soon.”可知正确答案。
Ⅷ.One possible version:
Dear Editor,
My name is Wu Jun. I come from a village. Both of my parents are farmers. Several years ago, my
family became very poor because my mother was ill. I had to leave school and went to work in
Guangdong to get some money for my family. During the time I worked, I hoped I could get a chance
to go back to school.
Later, thanks to the Hope Project, I went back to school and studied with my classmates. Now I am
good at all of my lessons. I hope I can be a teacher to help poor children in the future.
Yours,
Wu Jun
