考查特殊疑问词和动词不定式及宾语从句的用法。A项为宾语从句,which作buy的宾语,多了one;B项为宾语从句,应为陈述语序,which one should I buy语序错;C项which one to choose意为“选择哪个”,为“动词+特殊疑问词+动词不定式”用法,符合语境;D项should后应用动词原形。故选C。
5. —________ of them are teachers. Which is your sister?

A. Both, has B. All, have C. Both, with D. Neither, with

C. enough careful; enough time D. enough carefully; time enough

考查enough的用法。enough可作形容词,意思是“足够的”,修饰名词的时候,常放在名词前;enough还可以作副词,修饰形容词或副词的时候,只能放在形容词或副词的后面;句中第一个空是修饰动词write,要用副词carefully来修饰,enough应置于carefully后面,排除A/C/D选项;第二个空修饰名词time,enough置于其前;故选B。

Eric Carle is an American writer. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is popular all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric makes art for adults (成人), too. “ArtArt” is one of Eric’s works for adults.
Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of colors. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it in the war (战争) in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was six. When he was 10, World War II started. Eric found people painted all the houses in his town gray, brown, or dark green. It seemed like there was no color anywhere. At the end of the war, “when color came back,” Eric said, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is very important in my work.”
Anyone who has seen Eric’s books can see how important color is to the artist. He paints colors on a piece of paper (一张纸), cuts out shapes (形状), and then glues (粘贴) them onto another piece of paper. This is a special method. Eric used it in his “ArtArt”.“ArtArt” has paintings, photos and even clothes. In all these works, he uses different colors from purple to green to orange.
36 What do we know about Eric’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar?
A. It’s his first book. B. He wrote it in the war.
C. He wrote it in New York. D. It’s his best-known book.
37. When did Eric move to Germany?
A. In 1929. B. In 1935. C. In 1939. D. In 1945.
38. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Color. B. Work. C. The town. D. The house.
39. What does the underlined word “method” mean in Chinese?
A. 评论 B. 体验 C. 研究 D. 方法
40. The writer mainly wants to tell us about ________.
A. Eric’s dream B. Eric’s early life
C. one of Eric’s works for adults D. one of Eric’s works for children
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. C
【解析】

【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is popular all over the world.”可知,这本书很受欢迎,为畅销书籍。故选D。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was six.”可知,Eric于1935年搬到德国。故选B。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Eric used it in his ‘ArtArt’. ‘ArtArt’ has paintings, photos and even clothes. In all these works, he uses different colors from purple to green to orange.”可知,Eric在他的作品“ArtArt”中使用了它,“ArtArt”中有画,有照片,甚至有衣服;在所有这些作品中,他使用了从紫色到绿色到橙色的不同颜色;可推断出“it”指的是“color”。故选A。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“He paints colors on a piece of paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues (粘贴) them onto another piece of paper. This is a special method.”可知,他在一张纸上涂上颜色,剪出形状,然后把它们粘在另一张纸上,这是一种特殊的方法;可推测出“method”意为“方法”。故选D。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“‘ArtArt’ is one of Eric’s works for adults.”以及通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了Eric为成年人创作的作品之一。故选C。

She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria. I was very (A) pleased. I had never thought of going to the cafeteria to buy my lunch like other students. I didn’t have enough money to buy a hot lunch there; it was too expensive.
(B) Although most of my classmates can’t stand the cafeteria food, I really wanted to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, she told me that she didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—she ate fish on Fridays. After that, every Friday Mrs. White bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
One year later, I learned from a classmate that Mrs. White didn’t like sandwiches and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she saw a little girl who was excited to have a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I couldn’t help crying.

Anyone who has seen Eric’s books can see how important color is to the artist. He paints colors on a piece of paper (一张纸), cuts out shapes (形状), and then glues (粘贴) them onto another piece of paper. This is a special method. Eric used it in his “ArtArt”.“ArtArt” has paintings, photos and even clothes. In all these works, he uses different colors from purple to green to orange.
