21. To find ________ better job, she planned to learn ________ second foreign language.
A. the; a B. a; a C. the; the D. a; the
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:为了找到一份更好的工作,她计划学习一门第二外语。
考查冠词。the那个,表示特指;a一个,表示泛指。第一空表示一份更好的工作,因此用不定冠词a修饰;第二空表示学习一门第二外语,因此用不定冠词a修饰,故选B。
22. —_______ is it from Sunshine Town to the center of Beijing?
—It’s about 20 kilometers _______ our school.
A. How far; far from B. How long; away from
C. How far; away from D. How far; far away from
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——从阳光小镇到北京市中心有多远?——离我们学校大约20公里。
考查特殊疑问词和副词短语。How far多远;How long多长。根据“about 20 kilometers”可知,问句是对距离提问,所以用How far,故排除B。根据“20 kilometers...our school”可知,此处表示“离我们学校有20公里”,“距离+away from+地点名词”表示“离某地有多远”。故选C。
23. —David, your English teacher leaves the book in the classroom.
—It isn’t _______. I think it’s _______.
A. he’s; Neil’s B. him; Neil C. his; Neil’s D. his; Neil
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——戴维,你的英语老师把书忘在教室里了。——这不是他的。我想是尼尔的。
考查代词辨析和名词所有格。he’s他是;him他;his他的。根据“It isn’t...I think it’s...”可知,第一空指的是 “他的”,空后没有名词,应用名词性物主代词his;第二空指的是“尼尔的(书)”,应用所有格形式,故选C。
24. The snow makes them ________ cold, so they want to make a fire _______ warm.
A. feel; keep B. feel; to keep C. to feel; keep D. to feel; to keep
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:雪使他们感到冷,所以他们想生一堆火来取暖。
考查非谓语动词。make sb do sth使某人做某事,所以第一空用动词原形;“make a fire”的目的是为了“保暖”,所以第二空用动词不定式作目的状语。故选B。
25. —I am going to Millie’s birthday party this evening, Mum.
—_______, and be sure to come back before 10:00 p.m.
A. I am glad to hear that B. I am happy
C. Have a good time D. Have a good trip
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——妈妈,今晚我要去参加米莉的生日聚会。——玩得开心,请务必在晚上10点前回来。
考查情景交际。I am glad to hear that听你这么说我很高兴;I am happy我很高兴;Have a good time玩得开心;Have a good trip旅途愉快。根据“I am going to Millie’s birthday party this evening, Mum.”可知孩子要去他人的生日聚会,应是祝愿其玩得开心。故选C。

When they finished eating, the old man asked, “Where are you going?” Pig answered that he wanted to become a king. The man thought for a while and asked, “May I come along?” Pig agreed and so they walked together.

As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several tips for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise (噪音) is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
____86____ tips for making homework easier
Topic
Homework can be quite hard, but there is something you can do to make homework much easier.
Useful advice
Making a homework plan
Heavy homework means spending more time on your study, so it is a good idea to have a homework plan so that you can join in all kinds of after-school activities.

【89题详解】
根据“Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.”可知,为了保持高效率,对大多数人来说,每小时休息15分钟是个好主意。minute“分钟”,15接可数名词复数,故填minutes。
【90题详解】

When Tomb-Sweeping Day(清明节) comes, it’s time to welcome spring! The weather will be warm. You’ll find the world is dressed in green.
April 5 each year is the day Chinese people remember their ancestors (祖先). The old custom on this day is to visit the tombs of the dead (死去的人). People clean the tombs and leave flowers or paper money to honour (尊重) the dead.
Chinese believed that ancestors’ spirits (灵魂) look after families. The food and money bring them a happy life.
The day’s Chinese name, “Qing Ming” (“Clear Brightness”), shows it’s also a celebration of spring. Like festivals in other countries, it means the start of the planting season.

Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise (噪音) is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.

When Tomb-Sweeping Day(清明节) comes, it’s time to welcome spring! The weather will be warm. You’ll find the world is dressed in green.
April 5 each year is the day Chinese people remember their ancestors (祖先). The old custom on this day is to visit the tombs of the dead (死去的人). People clean the tombs and leave flowers or paper money to honour (尊重) the dead.
