一、单选题:本大题共25小题,共25分。
1. —Does Julie look the same ________ Jenny?
—No, they are different ________ each other.
A. as; with B. as; from C. to; with D. to; from
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——朱莉看起来和珍妮长得一样吗? ——不,她们彼此有差异。
考查介词辨析。as像;with和;from与……(不同);to到。根据短语,the same as和……一样;be different from和……不同;可知第一个空填as,第二个空填from。故选B。
2. —Who’s ________ boy under the tree?
—Oh, he is my friend Bill. He plays ________ important role in the School Student Union.
A. a;an B. a;the C. the;a D. the;an
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——在树下的那个男孩是谁?——哦,他是我的朋友Bill,他在学生会起重要作用。
考查冠词用法。a/an一个,不定冠词,表泛指,表示数量,a用在以辅音音素开头的单词前;an用在以元音音素开头的单词前;the这个/这些,定冠词,表特指。分析句子可知,第一空表特指,应使用定冠词the,此处特指树下那个男孩;第二空表泛指,表示数量,应使用不定冠词,且important是以元音音素开头的单词,其前应使用不定冠词an修饰;play an important role in“在……起重要作用”。故选D。
3. —Would you like ________ to drink? It’s so hot today.
—Great, a glass of cold coke please.
A. something cold B. cold something C. anything cold D. cold anything
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你想喝点什么吗?今天真热。——太好了,请给我一杯凉可乐。
考查复合不定代词。cold是形容词,意为“凉的”;something某物,是不定代词,用在肯定句中,用在疑问句中是希望得到对方的肯定回答;anything任何东西,是不定代词,用在否定句和疑问句中。形容词修饰不定代词要后置,根据“Would you like”可知,此处是希望得到对方肯定回答。故选A。
4. I’d like to go with you, ________, my hands are full.
A. but B. however C. and D. hardly
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我很想和你一起去,可是我太忙了。
考查连词辨析。but但是;however然而;and和;hardly几乎不。根据“I’d like to go with you...my hands are full.”可知前面是说“我很想和你一起去”,后面说“可是我太忙了”,所以此处是转折关系,but在使用时后面直接加句子,而however先加逗号再加句子。故选B。
5. He became very rich and successful. ________, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
A. On the 1930s B. On 1930s C. In the 1930s D. In the 1930
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他变得非常富有和成功。在20世纪30年代,他制作了87部有米老鼠形象的卡通片。
考查世纪年代的表达。On the 1930s表达错误;On 1930s表达错误;In the 1930s在20世纪30年代;In the 1930表达错误。表示“在某个世纪某个年代”用“in the+年份s/’s”,“in the 1930s”意思是“在20世纪30年代”,是固定的时间表达结构。故选C。
6. —Do you know China won against the Philippines in the Asian Basketball Championship (亚锦赛)?
—Yes. I felt ________ when I heard the ________ news.
A. exciting; excited B. excited; exciting
C. exciting; exciting D. excited; excited
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你知道中国在亚洲篮球锦标赛中战胜了菲律宾队吗?——知道。听到这个令人兴奋的消息时,我感到很兴奋。
考查形容词辨析。exciting令人兴奋的,用于描述事物本身的特性;excited感到兴奋的,用于描述人的感受。根据“I felt ... when I heard the ... news.”可知,第一空是表示主语“I”的感受,修饰人,用excited;第二空修饰“news”,为事物,用exciting。故选B。
7. She is hoping ________ the first prize in the swimming competition.
A. winning B. won C. to win D. win
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:她希望在游泳比赛中获得一等奖。

8. They had to stay at home _________ the rain.
A. because B. why C. because of D. so
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:因为下雨,他们不得不待在家里。
考查介词短语。because因为,后接从句;why为什么,是疑问副词,用于询问原因;because of由于,介词短语,后接名词或名词短语;so因此,表示结果。根据“They had to stay at home…the rain.”的语境可知,此处表示原因,空后的“the rain”为名词,C项符合。故选C。
9. Nanjing isn’t so large _________ Shanghai. However, it’s the second ________ city in East China.
A. like; largest B. as; largest C. like; large D. as; large
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:南京没有上海那么大。然而,它是华东第二大城市。
考查比较级。like像;largest最大的;large大的;as正如。not/as so+形容词原级/副词原级…as为固定搭配,意为“不如……”,因此第一空填as;序数词与形容词最高级连用表示“第……个(最)……的”,the second largest意为“第二大的”。故选B。
10. I think the best way ________ English is by reading English books.
A learn B. learning C. to learn D. to learning
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我认为学习英语最好的方法是读英语书。
考查不定式的用法。根据“the best way...”可知,此处考查固定表达the best way to do sth.“做某事的最好方式”,因此此处用不定式。故选C。
11. —Did Kate do best in the final exam?
—No, but of all the students she did .
A. the most careful B. more careful C. most carefully D. more carefully
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——凯特期末考试考得最好吗?——不,但所有学生中她做得最仔细。
考查副词最高级。修饰did用副词,排除AB;比较范围是”of all the students”,故用最高级,选C。

A. to B. as C. for D. between
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:莫言,中国最好的作家之一,因写书而著名。

13. — _______ is your school from your home?
—Twenty minutes’ ride.
A. How far B. How long C. How often D. How soon
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:学校到你家有多远?——20分钟的车程。
考查疑问词辨析。A. How far 多远;B. How long多长;C. How often 多久一次;D. How soon多久以后。根据答语可知,是询问路程的远近。故答案为A。
14. Mr. Wang is ill, so I come here to take ________ place.
A he B. his C. him D. her
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:王先生病了,所以我来代替他。
考查代词辨析。he他;his他的;him他,人称代词宾格;her她的/她。take one’s place表示“代替某人”,所以这里用形容词性物主代词。又因“Mr. Wang”是男性,所以用his。故选B。
15. Do you mind ________ the door? It’s cold outside.
A. close (关) B. closing C. closes D. to close
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你介意关上门吗?外面很冷。
考查非谓语动词。mind 意为“介意”,是动词,后面接动词时,应使用动名词形式(V-ing)作宾语。因此,“closing”符合语法规则。故选B。
16. Look ! Betty’s dress is beautiful, but my dress is________more beautiful than ________!
A. very; her B. much; hers C. very; hers D. much; her
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:看!贝蒂的裙子很漂亮,但我的裙子比她的漂亮多了!
考查比较级用法和代词辨析。very非常,修饰形容词或副词;much更加,修饰比较级;her她的,形容词性物主代词,其名词性物主代词是hers。根据more beautiful可知,修饰比较级应该用much;后空的后面没有名词,需用名词性物主代词hers。故选B。
17. A ________ girl named Dong Xinyi looked after her disabled father.
A. three-year-old B. three-years-old C. three years old D. third year old
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:一个名叫董心怡的三岁女孩照顾她残疾的父亲。
考查复合形容词。three-year-old三岁的;three-years-old错误表达;three years old三岁;third year old错误表达。根据“A...girl”可知,此处需填形容词短语修饰名词“girl”,意为 “三岁的”,“three-year-old”是复合形容词,可直接作定语修饰名词。故选A。
18. —What can you see ________ the mist(薄雾)?
—Three people.
A. for B. through C. of D. about
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你透过薄雾能看到什么?——三个人。
