中国。

2

A. already B. yet
C. still D. even
8. She wondered ________the children was doing .
A. when B. what C. how D. where
解析：
1. 固定用法“succeed in doing sth.”，成功做某事，题意为“最终他成功解决了这个问题”，故
选D。
2. 短语辨析。in all 总的来说，总体上；first of all 首先；after all 毕竟；above all 最重要的是，
尤其是。根据题意上文“对不起，老师，在这次考试中，我犯了很多错。”下文“没关系，毕竟这
次考试有一点难。”故答案为C。
3. 固定用法“fail to do sth.”没能做某事，题意为“我没能做出这道数学题”故选A。
4. 根据“after practicing it many times”表示经过很多次的练习终于学会了这首英文歌，表示通过
努力能够做某事，应用be able to，题意为“终于，练习了很多遍之后，她学会了这首英文歌”故
选D。
5. 固定用法“treat…as/like”把…当做…，题意为“不要总是把我当成小孩子对待”故选A。
5
6. not only…but also 的特殊用法，not 为否定词，否定词提前后面的句子用倒装结构，并且but
also 后面的句子为一般现在时，并列结构，故not only 后面的句子也应为一般现在时，题意为“他
不仅写歌词，而且还谱曲。”故选C。
7. not yet 意为“还没有，尚未”。题意为“三点钟的时候，他们还没有决定要不要去打篮球。” ，
故选B。
8. wonder 后面加从句。四个选项连接词的意思分别为：when 什么时候；what 什么；how 怎么；
where 哪里，what 更符合题意。题意为“她想知道孩子们正在做什么。”故选B。
答案：
1-5 DCADA 6-8 CBB

An Imperfect Painting
My parents always wanted me to be “on top”, so from early on I had the
21
to be the best in
everything, from getting the highest score in a spelling test to running fastest in a race.
In middle school, I realized how many other smarter and faster people there were, It became
22
that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to their hope and forced me to try hard. To
their disappointment, I became less confident and didn’t want to work harder because, to me, there was no
point in making any more
23
if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never
practiced the piano; I
24
painting. It was all because motivation (动力）to do anything had dropped
much.
When high school started, I was at a new school in a new city. I
25
to get back my motivation
and start over. So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled (报名) myself in the art course,
26
our art teacher, Mr. Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage
us to realize our potential(潜力).
My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower, I tried my best, but still found it hard to feel
satisfied with it. I knew it was not
27
and could hardly get a good grade. But I showed it to Mr.
Grady. He didn’t 28
it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder
on it. For the first time I was happy with the
2 9
of my painting rather than disappointed about its
imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at
the end of the term.
My parents thought
30
me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much
when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress.
Actually, it is okay not to be the best at everything as long as you continue to try your best.

What would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble in freezing weather? Would it freeze solid( 固
体) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold
winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen
bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even
better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what
would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (结霜), becoming cloudy instead
of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋转）you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay
even when the bubbles frost, but they don’t swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They don’t fall
to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They
turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble
will roll across the snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time.
Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so interesting that I want to try it again next
year.
31. It is the perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a ___________day.
A. cold winter
B. warm spring
C. hot summer
D. sunny autumn
32. When the frozen bubbles break, _________.
A. they make a big sound B. they turn into small drops
C. they fall to the ground like rain D. they become rainbow confetti

A. to learn how to do a science experiment
B. to show the experiment of blowing frozen bubbles
C. to discover games that are fun to play in the snow
D. to invent a new kind of soap that makes stronger bubbles
