The little boy looked up and said in a low voice, “It’s ____44____ (you), teacher.” She remembered the times she took his hand and walked with him here or there. She often said, “Take my hand, Peter. Let’s go outside” or “Let me ____45____ (show) you how to use your pencil.” Peter was very thankful for his teacher. 【答案】41. sad 42. was asked 43. until 44. yours 45. show 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了老师要求孩子们在感恩节画出自己想要感恩的东西，结果Peter画的是只手，这引起同学们的讨论，最后才知道这原来是老师的手，在Peter的心目中老师的手是他最想感恩的，因为这只手曾经给了他很大的勇气。 【41题详解】 句意：他看起来总是很悲伤。sad “悲伤的”，形容词作表语。故填sad。 【42题详解】 句意：当他被要求画一张他感激的东西的照片时，他画了一只手。ask“要求”，根据“When he...(ask) to draw a picture”可知，此处应表达他被要求画画，he与ask之间是被动关系，结构为be+ 过去分词。根据was可知，时态为一般过去时，主语he为单数，be动词用was，ask的过去分词为asked。故填was asked。 【43题详解】 句意：讨论一直进行到老师几乎注意到了这位年轻的艺术家。根据“The discussion went on...the teacher almost noticed the young artist.”可知，此处应表达讨论一直进行直到老师注意到他，until “直到”。故填until。 【44题详解】 句意：小男孩抬头低声道：“这是你的手，老师。”you“你”，人称代词主格，空处应用名词性物主代词yours 表示 “你的手”。故填yours。 【45题详解】 句意：“让我们到外面去”或者“让我教你怎么用铅笔”。show “展示”，let sb. do sth. “让某人做某事”，空处用动词原形。故填show。 六、完成句子（共5小题，计10分。） 46. 据说茶是1610年左右传入欧洲的。（汉译英） ___________________________________ 【答案】It is said (that) the tea was brought into Europe around 1610. 【解析】 【详解】据说：It is said (that)；传入：bring into；茶：tea；欧洲：Europe；1610年左右：around 1610。结合语境可知，此题是宾语从句，主句是一般现在时，从句是一般过去时的被动语态(结构是was/were done)，从句的主语the tea(不可数名词)是单数，因此be用was。故填It is said (that) the tea was brought into Europe around 1610. 47. 今天的天气太好了！（汉译英） ___________________________________ 【答案】What good weather today!/What a good day today!/What good weather it is today!/How good the weather is today! 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，此句为感叹句，时态为一般现在时，what引导的感叹句结构为：what+a/an+可数名词单数+主语+谓语；what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语；how引导的感叹句结构为：how+形容词+主语+谓语。good“好的”，形容词，weather“天气”，不可数名词，day“天气”，可数名词，it作主语；is作谓语。故填What good weather today!/What a good day today!/What good weather it is today!/How good the weather is today! 48. 我想知道你们明天是否去海边。（汉译英） ___________________________________ 【答案】I want to know/wonder if you will go to the seaside tomorrow. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，此句为if引导的宾语从句，主句时态用一般现在时，从句时态用一般将来时，我：I；想知道：want to know/wonder，谓语动词用原形；是否：if；去海边：go to the seaside，谓语动词前面加助动词will；明天：tomorrow。故填I want to know/wonder if you will go to the seaside tomorrow. 49. 你最好别去哈尔滨度假，因为那里这时候太冷了。（汉译英） ___________________________________ 【答案】You’d better not go to Harbin for vacation because it is too cold there at this time. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，此句为because引导的原因状语从句，时态为一般现在时，你最好不要做某事：You’d better not do sth；去哈尔滨：go to Harbin；度假：for vocation；那里太冷了：it is too cold there；这时候：at this time。故填You’d better not go to Harbin for vacation because it is too cold there at this time. 50. 如果你想要先抓到主要观点，就不要逐字地读。（汉译英） ___________________________________ 【答案】If you want to get the main idea (at) first, don’t read word by word. 【解析】 【详解】if“如果”，引导条件状语从句，遵循“主祈从现”；you“你”，作从句主语，谓语动词用原形；want“想要”；to get the main idea“抓到主要观点”，不定式作宾语；(at) first“先”；此处主句祈使句，don’t“不要”，后跟动词原形；read word by word“逐字地读”。故填If you want to get the main idea (at) first, don’t read word by word. 七、阅读表达（共5小题，计10分。） 阅读短文，根据短文内容简要回答问题。 According to research, an average (普通的) American kid watches TV for about 3 to 4 hours a day. That means he or she spends more than one and a half months a year in front of the TV. But some American kids are just saying “No” to TV. Take Meghan Kelley from Pembroke, Massachusetts for example. She used to spend a lot of her free time in front of the TV. But several years ago, Meghan gave up her TV habits. Her days of watching TV ended when she and her classmates took part in Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is on the first week of May every year. It is an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs, computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life”-read, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further (进一步). “I wanted to see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The answer was yes! Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more interesting. She joined two soccer clubs and now plays basketball.
