【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者学习历史时遇到挫折并战胜挫折的故事。
【1题详解】
句意:历史似乎是所有科目中最难的。
looks看;seems似乎;decides决定;refuses拒绝。根据主语和“to be”可知空缺处用seem to be“好像、似乎”。故选B。
【2题详解】
句意:但是当我开始学习它的时候,我觉得它很容易。
easy简单的;hard努力的;boring无聊的;interesting有趣的。根据“History...to be the hardest of all subjects.”和“ But ”可知此处是转折关系,前文是the hardest“最难的”,空缺处用为“简单的”。故选A。
【3题详解】
句意:我们所要做的就是读课本,写总结,参加课堂讨论。
look forward to期待;talk about谈论;wait for等待;take part in参加。根据“class discussions”可知空缺处用take part in“参加”符合语境,故选D。
【4题详解】
句意:当老师布置第一份作业时,我以为我不用做太多作业就能得A。
for为了;without除了,不用;with和;within在……里。根据“could get an “A”...doing much work”和“my first homework was a real failure (失败)”可知空缺处用without“不用”符合语境,即作者认为不用做太多功课就能取得好成绩,故选B。
【5题详解】
句意:然而,我的第一个家庭作业是一次真正的失败。
Still仍然;However然而;Already已经;Almost几乎。根据“could get an “A”...doing much work”和“my first homework was a real failure (失败)”可知可知前后文是转折关系,故选B。
【6题详解】
句意:当我读到老师的评论时,我的脸变红了。
red红色;yellow黄色;green绿色;pink粉色。根据“My face tuned”和下文评语可知这里作者不好意思,可推测因不好的评语脸变红了,故选A。
【7题详解】
句意:她写道:“特蕾莎,在我看来,你需要学习如何组织你的写作。”
want想要;need需要;stop停止;begin开始。根据“to learn how to organize your writing”可知此处意思是“需要学习如何组织你的写作”,即need to do sth.“需要做某事”,故选B。
【8题详解】
句意:我知道她是对的。
wrong错的;real真的;right对的;true正确的。根据“When I...a story, I could start a new paragraph more freely, but this was not how history writing.... ”可知之前的写作方式在写历史作业时不奏效,作者需要学习如何组织历史写作,即老师说的是对的,故选C。
【9题详解】
句意:我一直在写故事,而且写得很好。
well好地;careful认真的;good好的;famous著名的。根据“was...at”可知考查be good at“擅长做某事”,故选C。
【10题详解】
句意:所以我就像这样组织我的历史写作。
everyday每天;test测试;exam考试;history历史。根据“I had been writing stories all the time and was ...at it. ”和“SoI just organized my...writing like that.”可知作者在历史写作时延续了以前写故事的方式,因为之前写故事总被表扬,故此处用history“历史”,故选D。
【11题详解】
句意:当我写一个故事时,我可以更自由地开始新的一段,但这不是历史写作的方式。
wrote写作;read读;told告诉;liked喜欢。根据“but this was not how history writing ....”可知空缺处是指“写故事”write a story,故选A。
【12题详解】
句意:当我写一个故事时,我可以更自由地开始新的一段,但这不是历史写作的方式。
went走;hoped希望;happened发生;worked奏效。根据“how history writing ”可知空缺处应为work“奏效”,故选D。
【13题详解】
句意:我把作业重写了四五次,还向同学们求助,最后才交了作业。
when当……时;while当……时;before在……之前;after在……之后。根据“I rewrote the homework four or five times, and asked my classmates for help”和“I finally handed it in”两部分的关系可知前者是在后者发生之前,故选C。
【14题详解】
句意:我上次论文得了高分。
first第一;second第二;last上一次,最后;next下一个。根据“By the time the teacher set the first homework, I thought I could get an “A”...”和“ I rewrote the homework four or five times”可知第一次作者的作业没写好,之后作者重写了几次,最终交上去。故选C。
【15题详解】
句意:这些是我的快乐和悲伤。
happiness幸福;activity活动;example例子;preparation准备。根据“and sadness”和前文可知,作者以之前的方式写历史作业,结果失败了,作者努力重写了作业获得了高分,所以此空应为和“sadness”并列的单词happiness“高兴,幸福”,故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲的是吉米不想上学,找借口装病,最后因为怕拔牙而赶紧起床去学校。
【36题详解】
句意:现在是早上7点,但吉米还在床上。根据下文“He is thinking of an excuse…he doesn’t want to go to school”可知,早上7点,但吉米还躺在床上,因为他不想去上学。备选单词中lie作动词,意为“躺”,此处需要用现在分词形式,因为前面有is,构成现在进行时结构。故填lying。
【37题详解】
句意:他在想一个借口,因为他不想去上学。根据前后句意可知,后句是在解释原因,故应用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
【38题详解】
句意:发烧了吗?这是不可能的。根据上下文可知,吉米在想如果假装发烧的话,妈妈会测体温,所以这里应该是说“不可能的”,即It’s impossible。故填impossible。
【39题详解】
句意:他妈妈可以给他量体温。根据句子结构,空格处应填入形容词性物主代词,即her或his,备选单词中有he,所以需要变成his,意为“他的”,符合句意,故填his。
40题详解】
句意:头痛吗?不,他已经用了很多次这个借口了。根据上文“Have a fever?”可知,此处是在用生病做借口,空格处需填入病症,备选单词有headache和toothache。根据下文,他后来用的是toothache的借口,故此处应用headache,意为“头疼”,故填headache。
【41题详解】
句意:怎么了,亲爱的儿子?该句为固定句型What’s the matter?,意为“怎么了”,符合句意,故填matter。
【42题详解】
句意:妈妈,我牙疼得厉害。我不能去上学了。根据下文“I’ll ask him to pull (拔) the tooth out.”可知,此处是吉米说他牙疼。备选单词中toothache意为“牙疼”,符合句意,故填toothache。
【43题详解】
句意:张开嘴,让我看看。根据下文“let me have a look”可知,吉米的母亲让他张开嘴给她看看。备选单词中open作动词,意为“张开”,句子为祈使句,故open应用动词原形,且位于句首首字母应大写。故填Open。
【44题详解】
句意:你为什么要打电话给牙医?根据下文“I’ll ask him to pull (拔) the tooth out”可知,此处母亲解释了为什么要打电话给牙医的原因。故空格处应填入意为“为什么”的特殊疑问词why,且位于句首首字母应大写。故填Why。
【45题详解】
句意:它一点也不疼。我得走了。我要迟到了。根据上文“Don’t pull it out”可知,吉米是在说牙齿一点也不疼了,他要去上学。doesn’t hurt意为“不疼”,动词hurt应用原形,故填hurt。
