A. on; to B. to; in C. in; on
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:台湾位于福建的东部,福建位于中国的东南部。
考查地点方位介词。to(表示方位)在;on在……上;in在……里。根据“Taiwan is … the east of Fujian and Fujian is … the southeast of China.”可知,此处是指台湾在福建东部,结合台湾与福建隔海相望,因此第一个空应用to表示在某地范围之外;且福建在中国的东南部,结合福建是中国领土的一部分可知,第二个空处应用in表示在某地范围之内。故选B。
2. I felt very happy to ________ a lot of presents from my friends on my birthday.
A. receive B. hold C. buy
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在我的生日,我收到许多来自朋友的礼物,感觉很开心。

—Thanks.
A. look B. sound C. taste
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——随便吃些橘子吧。它们尝起来很甜。——谢谢。
考查动词辨析。look看起来;sound听起来;taste尝起来。句中的“they”指上句中的橘子,sweet“甜的”,指的是味道,所以此处表示尝起来,故选C。
4. —Mike felt sad because he failed his exam yesterday.

A. cheer him on B. cheer up him C. cheer him up
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——迈克因为昨天考试不及格感到难过。——听到这个消息我很难过。让我们鼓励他振作起来。
考查短语辨析。cheer him on意为“为他加油”(多用于比赛等场合);cheer up him语法错误(cheer up为短语动词,代词需放在中间);cheer him up意为“使他振作/开心。根据“Mike felt sad because he failed his exam yesterday.”可知,是安慰迈克,让他振作起来。故选C。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——你奶奶看起来很健康。——是的,她每天都锻炼,尽管她已经82岁了。
考查though引导让步状语从句。because因为;though尽管;if如果。根据“ she exercises every day...she is 82 years old.”可知,两句在逻辑上是让步关系,应用though引导让步状语从句,符合语境。故选B。

They told me you hadn’t been there.” I felt ashamed (羞愧的) and I told him the real reason. After he listened to me, dad said, “I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think about where I’ve gone wrong all these years to make you lie to me.”

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, nearly 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20% of babies act shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think some shyness is genetic (遗传的).
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 % of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only 30% people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget—if you are shy, you are not the only one.
41. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Scientists have no idea about why people are shy.
B. Few people feel shy at some point in their lives.
C. It is common for a person to be shy.
D. Being shy is an interesting thing.
42. We can learn from the passage that ________ may cause shyness.
A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and freedom
C. family size, grown-ups and failure D. genetics, family size and birthplace
43. Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by________.
A. blaming their failure on outside reasons
B. trying new things and practicing conversation
C. getting themselves away from their shy parents
D. trying to understand reasons for their shyness
44. The writer uses the example of Japanese and Israelis to show that ________.
A. some people are born shy B. birthplaces may cause shyness
C. some people growing up alone are shy D. family size may cause shyness
45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候、长大后对骑自行车的不同态度及如今重新骑行的相关情况,传达绿色出行理念 。
【61题详解】
句意:我经常骑着我的自行车到处跑。ride“骑”,动词,根据“when I was a kid”可知句子为一般过去时,故填rode。
【62题详解】
句意:我很少骑自行车出门,因为路上的汽车越来越多了。根据“I seldom went out by bike”和“there were more and more cars on the road”可知二者为因果关系,空后表原因,所以用because“因为”引导原因状语从句。故填because。
【63题详解】
句意:我认为在有很多汽车的情况下骑自行车是非常危险的。danger“危险”,名词,根据“is”和语境可知此处应用形容词作表语,其形容词形式dangerous“危险的”符合语境,故填dangerous。
【64题详解】
句意:现在,我决定再次在路上愉快度过美好时光。have a great time“玩得开心”,固定短语,故填a。
【65题详解】
句意:我仍然感到紧张,因为我在汽车、公交车和人群周围骑行。bus“公共汽车”,可数名词,根据其与“cars”,“people”并列可知,此处需用其复数形式,故填buses。
【66题详解】
句意:通过那种方式,我能够保护自己免受交通事故伤害。I“我”,人称代词,根据主语为“I”可知此处应用其反身代词,指保护自己,I的反身代词是myself。故填myself。
【67题详解】
句意:在周末,我爸爸有时候选择和我一起骑共享单车去公园。根据“On weekends”和“sometimes”可知句子时态为一般现在时,而主语“my father”是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用三单形式。故填chooses。
【68题详解】
句意:事实上,骑自行车是在这座城市出行的一种不错方式!根据“fact”并结合语境可知,此处考查固定短语in fact“事实上”,位于句首的单词首字母需大写,故填In。
【69题详解】
句意:此外,如果我们都尽量比以前更频繁地骑自行车和少开车,我们就能为我们的环境做些事。little“少的”,副词,根据“than before”可知此处应用其比较级形式,故填less。
【70题详解】
句意:所以你还在等什么呢?wait“等”,动词,根据“are”和语境可知句子时态为现在进行时,其谓语结构为“be+doing”,故填waiting。

Anna Brown was an artist and she believed it was important to help others. When she heard of a summer camp for children with serious illnesses, she had an idea. It cost money for these kids to go to camp, so Anna decided to see what she could do to help. It was impossible for her to donate (捐赠) a lot of money, so she had to think of another way.
She wanted to take advantage of (利用) her love of art. So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids. Because these cards were all handmade, it would take her a long time to make a lot of them. So Anna had another idea. She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards. At first her friends were hesitant (犹豫不决). Many said that they were not artistic and didn’t know how to make cards. But once they saw the beautiful materials (材料), her friends felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card.
But the materials were expensive. To make money without spending money, Anna asked for and got donations of paper, glue, scissors, and other things from nearby stores. She sold her cards for three dollars each in different art markets during the year. Anna raised more than $30,000 in her 10 years making cards.
31. What was Anna?
A. An artist. B. A doctor. C. A worker. D. A teacher.
32. What did Anna invite her friends to do?
A. Sell cards. B. Make cards. C. Buy materials. D. Donate materials.
33. Why did Anna start making and selling cards?
A. To have fun. B. To raise money for the sick kids.
C. To make friends. D. To help homeless people.
34. Where did Anna sell her handmade cards?
A. In her house. B. In her workroom. C. In nearby stores. D. In art markets.

One morning, my dad asked me to drive him to a faraway place and pick (接) him up at four in the afternoon. I parked our car at a nearby garage (修车厂). Because I had many hours of waiting time, I went to a theater. However, when the last movie finished, it was six o’clock.
I guessed dad would be really angry if he found out that I was late because I was watching a movie. So I decided not to tell him the real reason. When I picked him up, I apologized for being late, and told him the car had some major repairs (大修理). I’ll never forget the look he gave me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “I had called the garage. They told me you hadn’t been there.” I felt ashamed (羞愧的) and I told him the real reason. After he listened to me, dad said, “I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think about where I’ve gone wrong all these years to make you lie to me.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles!” My apologies were useless. Dad walked home that day. Seeing dad so sad was an unforgettable experience. However, it also taught me an important lesson. Since that time, I have never lied to anyone.
36. Where did the writer go during the several hours’ waiting time?
A. He went to a theater. B. He went to a restaurant.

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, nearly 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20% of babies act shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think some shyness is genetic (遗传的).
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 % of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only 30% people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
