Shanghai Foreign Language School is _________ ideal school for you to learn English. It’s impossible to find _________ better one than it. A. a; a B. an; a C. the; a D. an; the 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】解析：上海外国语学校是您学习英语的理想学校。不可能找到比它更好的。 考查冠词。两空均表示泛指，第一空后的“ideal”的发音以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词an；第二空后的“better”的发音以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a。故选B。 2. —How much did your daughter weigh when she was born. —Her _________ was 3.5kg at birth. A. weighs B. weight C. weighed D. weigh 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你女儿出生时体重多少？ ——出生时体重为3.5公斤。 考查名词用法及weigh相关词汇辨析。weighs重，动词第三人称单数；weight体重，名词；weighed重，动词过去式；weigh重，动词原形。根据“Her”可知，形容词性物主代词修饰名词，所以此空填名词。故选B。 3. We should try our best to use _________ people and spend _________ money to do this. A. less; less B. less; fewer C. fewer; fewer D. fewer; less 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该尽力用更少的人，花更少的钱来做这事儿。 考查形容词辨析。less更少，修饰不可数名词；fewer更少，修饰可数名词。分析题干可知，people是复数名词，用fewer修饰；money是不可数名词，用less修饰。故选D。 4. —Daniel always tells us fanny jokes to make us laugh. We never feel bored with him. —Oh, that is to say he is very _________. A. patient B. generous C. humorous D. clever 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——丹尼尔总是给我们讲有趣的笑话让我们发笑。和他在一起我们从不觉得无聊。——哦，也就是说他非常幽默。 考查形容词辨析。patient耐心的；generous慷慨的；humorous幽默的；clever聪明的。根据“Daniel always tells us funny jokes to make us laugh”可推测，丹尼尔很幽默，故选C。 5. —Why is the price of this Huawei cellphone over 10,000 yuan? —Well, it’s a Huawei Nate 60 pro. You know, good things always _________ much. A. cost B. spend C. pay D. take 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么这款华为手机的价格超过1万元？ ——嗯，这是华为Nate 60 pro。你知道，好东西总是要花很多钱。 考查动词辨析。cost花费，物作主语；spend花费；指花费时间或金钱做某事，主语指人；pay支付，主语指人，take花费，指花费时间做某事。此题主语指物，某物花费多少钱用cost。故选A。 6. Keep the salad in the fridge for a while, and you can make it _________ nicer. A. to taste B. taste C. tastes D. tasting 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：把沙拉在冰箱里放一段时间，你可以让它尝起来更好吃。 考查非谓语动词。根据“make it”可知，考查make sth./sb. do sth.“使某人/物做某事”，所以填动词原形。故选B。 7. Junior middle school has more days _________ for the winter holiday than senior middle school. A. in B. on C. off D. of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：初中寒假放假天数比高中多。 考查介词辨析。in在 (某短时间) 内；on在 (某一天)；off休息；of……的。根据“has more days ... for the winter holiday”可知，此处指“有更多的休息”。故选C。 8. I’ll _________ my room light now because things are all over the floor. A. tidy up B. come up C. get up D. put up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我现在要整理我的房间灯，因为在地板上到处都是东西。 考查动词短语辨析。tidy up整理；come up走近，被提出；get up起床；put up张贴，举起。根据“because things are all over the floor”可知，东西到处都是，所以要整理房间，“tidy up”符合语境，故选A。 9 The little boy showed great _________ in the _________ story. A. interest; interested B. interested; interesting C. interesting; interest D. interest; interesting 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个小男孩对这个有趣的故事表现出了极大的兴趣。 考查名词和形容词辨析。interest兴趣，名词；interesting有趣的，形容词，用于修饰事物；interested感兴趣的，形容词，常用来修饰人。第一个空是谓语动词showed“表现”的宾语，所以第一个空填名词interest，第二个空填形容词interesting修饰名词story。故选D。 10. — It’s going to rain. Close the door and the windows before you leave the room. —_________. A. OK, I will B. No, I won’t C. It doesn’t matter D. I know that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——天要下雨了。在你离开房间之前关上房门和窗户。——好的，我会的。 考查情景交际。OK, I will好的，我会的；No, I won’t不，我不会的；It doesn’t matter没关系；I know that我知道那件事。根据“It’s going to rain. Close the door and the windows before you leave the room.”可知，因为对方提出了关门和关窗的建议，所以应该回应会按照建议去做，“OK, I will”符合语境。故选A。 三、完形填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分 10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 People have many friends in the world.
