A. alone; alone B. lonely; lonely C. alone; lonely D. lonely; alone
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:当你感到无助和孤单时,只要记住,你在世界上,不是独自一人,因为你的朋友在你身边。
考查形容词辨析。alone孤单的,独自的,通常表示“独自一人”,只表示一个人,描述客观情况,没有感情色彩;lonely孤独的,带有感情色彩。由feel可知,第一空是有感情色彩的,感觉到孤单,用lonely;第二个空,形容客观上的独自一人,说的是客观情况,没有感情色彩,用alone。故选D。

A. the more; the happier B. the much; the happy C. more; happier D. the most; the happiest
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不认为你拥有的钱越多,你就会越快乐。
考查形容词比较级。根据“I don’t think…money you have,…you will be.”可知,此处是“the+比较级,the+比较级”的结构,表示“越……,越……”。much的比较级是more,happy的比较级是happier。结合选项,只有A选项“the more; the happier”符合这一结构。故选A。
3. —How long ________ his uncle ________ a teacher?
—Since ten years ago.
A. has; been B. has; become C. will; become D. did; become

考查现在完成时的用法。根据“Since ten years ago”可知,问句询问的是从过去持续到现在的动作或状态,需用现在完成时,结构为has/have done。主语为第三人称单数的“his uncle”,助动词用has。动词需用延续性动词,“be a teacher”表示延续状态,be的过去分词为been。故选A。
4. —Where is Mr. Green?
—He ________ London. He ________ there for a week.
A. has been to; has been B. has gone to; has gone
C. has gone to; has been D. has been in; has gone

【详解】句意:——格林先生在哪儿?——他去了伦敦。他已经在那里待了一个星期了。
考查时态。have gone to去了,还未回来;have been to去过,已经回来;have been in待在某地。根据“Where is Mr. Green?”可知,此处指去了伦敦,还未回来,故第一个空用has gone to;根据“He …there for a week.”可知,是指在那里已经一个星期了,空后是地点副词there,此处不加in。故选C。

考查情景交际及代词用法。Both两者都;Neither两者中没有一个;Either两者之一;None一个也没有,表三者或以上。根据语境可知问句“你想要果汁还是咖啡”,可知在两者之中选择;答语“我只想要一杯水”,可知果汁和咖啡两个都不选,故此处应用neither表两者中没有一个。故选B。

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies.

Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.

Americans use many expressions (习语) with the word “dog”. Many people in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners live a different kind of life. The expression, to live a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, such as good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard.
Still, people say that every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
People also use dog expressions to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
36. If a man’s life is not happy, he may ______.
A. live a dog’s life B. be dog-tired C. work like a dog D. rain cats and dogs
37. What does “every dog has its day” mean?
A. A person has to work very hard. B. Every person enjoys a successful period.
C. A person won’t change his way. D. A person doesn’t like to learn new things.
38. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A. American people like keeping dogs a lot.
B. If a dog has no owner, its life will be hard.

【38题详解】

C
A big ship was traveling on the sea. Suddenly, it didn’t work and no one could repair it. The ship owner turned to an old worker with rich skills. He checked the important parts of the ship very carefully. Then he took a small hammer (锤子) out of his box and lightly knocked at one of the parts. Soon, the ship started to work again. The worker told the ship owner that the cost of repairing the ship was $10,000.
“What?!” the owner said. “You did almost nothing. Tell me why it costs so much.”
“The answer is simple. Knock with a hammer: $2. Know where to knock and how to knock: $9,998,” the worker answered. “If I can finish a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do it in 30 minutes. You paid me for those 10 years, not the 30 minutes.”
Hard practice for a long time can make people successful. Something that looks easy to you or me might take years of hard work. Scientists, actors and sports stars make their work look easy, but that’s because they have been doing it for so long. That’s the value (价值) of knowledge.

A father bought a kite for his son. The son couldn’t wait to fly it. So, on the next windy day, they took the kite to a park.
First, the father taught his son to fly the kite. Soon, the son was flying the kite high in the air. When it couldn’t go higher, the son realized something. “The string (线) is holding the kite down,” he said to himself. “If I cut it, it can fly higher.”
The son cut the string. After that, the kite flew up a little more. However, the kite didn’t rise for long. It slowly came down until it landed in a tree far away. The son was surprised.
“I thought the kite could fly higher without the string,” he said. “What happened?”
“The string wasn’t holding the kite down,” said the father. “It was helping it stay higher. After you cut the string, it didn’t have any support.”
Really, rules are like the string that seems to hold us down in our daily life. But, without them, we can’t fly high like the kite. We should never let go of them.

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along well, and build a strong relationship (关系) with your parents.
Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading.
Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy!
Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
31. Who may influence you more than anyone else you will meet according to the passage?

Americans use many expressions (习语) with the word “dog”. Many people in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners live a different kind of life. The expression, to live a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, such as good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard.
Still, people say that every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
People also use dog expressions to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
36. If a man’s life is not happy, he may ______.
A. live a dog’s life B. be dog-tired C. work like a dog D. rain cats and dogs
37. What does “every dog has its day” mean?
A. A person has to work very hard. B. Every person enjoys a successful period.
C. A person won’t change his way. D. A person doesn’t like to learn new things.
38. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A. American people like keeping dogs a lot.
B. If a dog has no owner its life will be hard.
C. People can use the word “dog” in many ways.
D. People can use the word “dog” to describe the house.
C
A big ship was traveling on the sea. Suddenly, it didn’t work and no one could repair it. The ship owner turned to an old worker with rich skills. He checked the important parts of the ship very carefully. Then he took a small hammer (锤子) out of his box and lightly knocked at one of the parts. Soon, the ship started to work again. The worker told the ship owner that the cost of repairing the ship was $10,000.
“What?!” the owner said. “You did almost nothing. Tell me why it costs so much.”
“The answer is simple. Knock with a hammer: $2. Know where to knock and how to knock: $9,998,” the worker answered. “If I can finish a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do it in 30 minutes. You paid me for those 10 years, not the 30 minutes.”
Hard practice for a long time can make people successful. Something that looks easy to you or me might take years of hard work. Scientists, actors and sports stars make their work look easy, but that’s because they have been doing it for so long. That’s the value (价值) of knowledge.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

A. The worker couldn’t find the problem. B. The worker never repaired a big ship.
C. The worker repaired the ship successfully. D. The worker didn’t believe the ship owner.
40. How did the owner feel about the cost of repairing the ship?

B. Because the hammer is very special.
C. Because the ship is difficult to repair.
D. Because the worker needs years of hard work to be good at repairing.
42. What is the best title for the text?
A. A special ship B. A famous worker C. The value of knowledge D. The art of knocking
D
A father bought a kite for his son. The son couldn’t wait to fly it. So, on the next windy day, they took the kite to a park.
First, the father taught his son to fly the kite. Soon, the son was flying the kite high in the air. When it couldn’t go higher, the son realized something. “The string (线) is holding the kite down,” he said to himself. “If I cut it, it can fly higher.”
The son cut the string. After that, the kite flew up a little more. However, the kite didn’t rise for long. It slowly came down until it landed in a tree far away. The son was surprised.
“I thought the kite could fly higher without the string,” he said. “What happened?”
“The string wasn’t holding the kite down,” said the father. “It was helping it stay higher. After you cut the string, it didn’t have any support.”
Really, rules are like the string that seems to hold us down in our daily life. But, without them, we can’t fly high like the kite. We should never let go of them.
