C. Just throw it away D. Hurry up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我在尝试修理我的坏自行车,但进展不顺利。——希望事情顺利。坚持下去,你会成功的。
考查情景交际。Hope things work out希望事情顺利;You can’t do it你做不到;Just throw it away就把它扔掉吧;Hurry up快点。根据题意和“Keep at it and you’ll make it.”可知, 表达的是鼓励和坚持,意思是只要继续努力,就会成功,所以,选项A“希望事情顺利”,是一种积极的表达,希望事情好转,与“坚持下去”相呼应,表示支持和乐观。故选A。
2. —Whose umbrella is this?

A. can B. might C. must D. should
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这是谁的伞?——这一定属于斯密斯先生。看,他的名字在上面。
考查情态动词。can能够;might可能;must一定,必须;should应该。此处考查肯定推测,因为名字在上面,所以用must be表“一定是”。故选C。

考查形容词辨析。kind善良的;stupid愚蠢的;fair公平的;brave勇敢的。根据语境可知,汤姆和朋友因为一件小事而发生争吵,他最后意识到这是一件很愚蠢的事情,所以用stupid。故选B。

A. hardly B. nearly C. completely D. widely
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你已经打扫完你的房间了吗?——是的。我已经完全清理掉了所有的垃圾,让房间很整洁。
考查副词辨析。hardly几乎不;nearly几乎;completely完全地;widely广泛地。根据句意可知,此处指垃圾已经完全清理出去,应用completely来修饰clear out。故选C。

考查时态。has been现在完成时,表示去了已回;has gone现在完成时,表示去了未回;went为go的过去式;will go一般将来时。根据“many times”可知是现在完成时的标志词,且表示去了已经回来了。故选A。

A. make B. makes C. making D. to make
【答案】D
【解析】

考查非谓语。make使得,动词原形;makes动词的三单形式;making动名词、现在分词;to make不定式。根据句子成分可知,空格处不作谓语。使公园变成一个更令人愉悦的地方是志愿者们认真打扫公园的目的,所以用to do不定式作目的状语,用to make。故选D。
7. —The movie is about a group of kids looking for some ______ in an old tower.
—Woo, that sounds an exciting story.
A. treasure B. pressure C. pleasure D. measure

【解析】

【详解】句意:——我的电脑不能工作了。你能帮我吗?——可以。我会尽可能快地修好它。

—Don’t worry. All the things we need are here, in this big bag.
A. nothing B. everything C. something D. anything

International Women’s Day comes on March 8th every year. This important day has a long and cool history.
In 1908, thousands of women walked on the streets in New York City. They wanted shorter working hours, better pay and so on. In 1910, a woman named Clara Zetkin from Germany came up with the idea of International Women’s Day at a meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. People liked the idea, and the first one was celebrated on March 19th, 1911, in some European countries. Later, we started to celebrate it on March 8th.
Now, on this day, schools and factories do different things. In schools, teachers teach students about great women, like Marie Curie. She was a famous scientist. In factories, people talk about how to make the workplace fair for women.

Last year, I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two months. I visited places of interest in the morning and had English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The host parents and brothers were very friendly to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.
My spoken English improved greatly in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to communicate with my teachers and host family freely.
Time flew while I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year without my family. I felt a little homesick. When the New Year came, the host family held a party. We ate a big meal with turkey and other good food. At 12 o’clock, we shouted “Happy New Year!” and hugged. They gave me a small gift, a bookmark with a picture of the Opera House on it. We laughed and had fun together. I felt like I was part of their family.

Do you find it hard to say “no” when someone asks you for help? If your answer is “yes”, you may be a “people-pleaser”. If you always try to make others happy but forget about your own feelings, you’ll feel stressed. Luckily, you can do some things to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, you need to know what you can and can’t do. Be clear about what you are willing to do. When someone asks you for help, you can tell him or her you only have a little time. You can also say you need some time to think about it. Then ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? If you take some time to think, you can decide whether you want to do it and have the time for it. Don’t spend too much time on things that make you unhappy.
It’s not easy to change quickly, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say “no”. Then, try to say “no” face to face. Practice saying “no” in different places, like when you meet a salesperson or order food at a restaurant.
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you can’t be kind or help others. You can still do good things, but on your own situations.
50. A “people-pleaser” is someone who ______.
A. always says “no” to others B. finds it hard to say “no” to others

b. Think about it first when someone asks you for help.
c. Talk to yourself to feel more relaxed.
d. Start by taking small steps.
A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bed

Then ask yourself: Do you really want to do this?”可知,当有人请求帮助时,你可以告诉对方你只有很少时间。然后问自己:你真的想做这件事吗?对应选项b。 d. 第三段“It’s not easy to change quickly, so start by taking small steps.”可知,快速改变并不容易,所以从小步骤开始,对应选项d。故选B。

Longer Breaks, Better School Life
Ever since we got 15-minute breaks, my school life has become much more enjoyable. These minutes make a great difference.
First, the longer breaks help me feel less stressed. I can take a walk in the hallway, or just look out of the window. This short rest makes me ready for the next class. Second, I can chat with my classmates more. During the 15-minute break, we play games, share funny stories, or work together on difficult math problems. Third, I don’t feel tired and bored in class anymore. With more rest, I can listen to teachers carefully and take clear notes. Lessons become more interesting.
To make breaks even better, I hope schools can set up “sports corners” with balls and ropes. We can also have interest groups, like reading or drawing groups.
Longer breaks make school life better!

International Women’s Day comes on March 8th every year. This important day has a long and cool history.
In 1908, thousands of women walked on the streets in New York City. They wanted shorter working hours, better pay and so on. In 1910, a woman named Clara Zetkin from Germany came up with the idea of International Women’s Day at a meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. People liked the idea, and the first one was celebrated on March 19th, 1911, in some European countries. Later, we started to celebrate it on March 8th.
Now, on this day, schools and factories do different things. In schools, teachers teach students about great women, like Marie Curie. She was a famous scientist. In factories, people talk about how to make the workplace fair for women.
For kids, International Women’s Day is a good time to show love to their moms. You can help your mom do housework, like washing dishes or cleaning your room.

Last year, I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two months. I visited places of interest in the morning and had English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The host parents and brothers were very friendly to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.
My spoken English improved greatly in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to communicate with my teachers and host family freely.
Time flew while I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year without my family. I felt a little homesick. When the New Year came, the host family held a party. We ate a big meal with turkey and other good food. At 12 o’clock, we shouted “Happy New Year!” and hugged. They gave me a small gift, a bookmark with a picture of the Opera House on it. We laughed and had fun together. I felt like I was part of their family.

Do you find it hard to say “no” when someone asks you for help? If your answer is “yes”, you may be a “people-pleaser”. If you always try to make others happy but forget about your own feelings, you’ll feel stressed. Luckily, you can do some things to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, you need to know what you can and can’t do. Be clear about what you are willing to do. When someone asks you for help, you can tell him or her you only have a little time. You can also say you need some time to think about it. Then ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? If you take some time to think, you can decide whether you want to do it and have the time for it. Don’t spend too much time on things that make you unhappy.
It’s not easy to change quickly, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say “no”. Then, try to say “no” face to face. Practice saying “no” in different places, like when you meet a salesperson or order food at a restaurant.
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you can’t be kind or help others. You can still do good things, but on your own situations.

Once upon a time, there was a man who raised a lot of sheep. One morning, when he went to count his sheep, he found that one sheep was missing. There was a hole in the sheepfold, and it was clear that a wolf had come at night and taken away the sheep.
His neighbor said to him, “You should fix the hole in the sheepfold right away, or more sheep will be lost.” But the man replied, “The sheep has already gone. What’s the use of repairing the sheepfold now? I think it’s useless.” So, he did nothing.
The next day, when he counted his sheep again, another sheep was missing. He felt very sorry. “I didn’t listen to my neighbor and didn’t repair the sheepfold yesterday, so this happened, I must do something now.” he thought.
