Mike found ________ difficult for him to communicate with his parents. A. it B. that C. one D. them 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：迈克发现对他来说和父母交流是困难的。 考查代词辨析。it它；that那个；one一个；them他们。根据语境可知，此处是“find it+形容词+for sb to do sth”结构，其中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式“to communicate with his parents”，所以应该用it。故选A。 2. —I know you used to ________ in a small village. Are you used to ________ here now? —Yes, I like the life here. A. live; live B. live; living C. living; live D. living; living 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我知道你过去住在一个小村庄里。你现在习惯住在这里了吗？——是的，我喜欢这里的生活。 考查used to do与be used to doing的用法。used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”；be used to doing sth.表示“习惯于做某事”。根据语境可知，第一空表示“过去住在小村庄里”，应用used to do结构，即live；第二空表示“习惯住在这里”，应用be used to doing结构，即living。故选B。 3. —Have you got any idea about what we are going to do tomorrow? —Yes, I ________ a tour of the museum. It will be great. A. hate B. suggest C. believe D. change 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——关于我们明天要做什么你有什么想法吗？——是的，我建议博物馆之旅。那会很棒的。 考查动词辨析。hate讨厌；suggest建议；believe相信；change改变。根据“a tour of the museum. It will be great.”可知，去博物馆是提出的一个积极的建议。故选B。 4. —Your coat looks very nice. What’s it made __________? —Cotton, and it was made __________ Hangzhou. A. from; at B. of; in C. from; on D. of; on 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：——你的外套看起来很好。它是什么做的？——棉花，是在杭州生产的。 考查动词短语辨析。be made of由……做的（可以看出原材料）；be made from由……做的（看不出原材料）；be made in在……生产。根据回答“Cotton”可知，问的是这件大衣是由什么做的，且可以看出原材料，故第一空填of；根据“Hangzhou”可知，这是生产地，故第二空填in。故选B。 5. — Tony wasn’t chosen for the team. That was a bad ________. — You are right. We lost the game after all. A. information B. promise C. decision D. introduction 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——托尼没有被选进队。那是一个糟糕的决定。——你说得对。我们毕竟输了比赛。 考查名词辨析。information信息；promise许诺；decision决定；introduction介绍。根据“You are right. We lost the game after all.”可知，上文应是说托尼没有被选进队是一个糟糕的决定，decision符合题意，其它选项均语意不通，故选C。 6. — Was table tennis invented by the Chinese? — No. It ________ in China until the start of the 20th century. A. played B. was played C. didn’t play D. wasn’t played 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——乒乓球是中国人发明的吗？——不是。直到20世纪初中国人才开始打乒乓球。 考查时态和语态。分析句子可知，it指代table tennis，是动词play的承受者，需用be done被动语态结构，可排除AC两项；结合题干“It…in China until the start of the 20th century”，可知not…until符合语法语境。故选D。 7. —Would you like a lemon, dear? —I’m afraid it’s ________ . Please pass me an apple. A. sour B. salty C. sweet D. crispy 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——亲爱的，你想要一个柠檬吗？——我恐怕它是酸的。请递给我一个苹果。 考查形容词辨析。sour酸的；salty咸的；sweet甜的；crispy脆的。根据“Would you like a lemon, dear?”以及“Please pass me an apple.”可知柠檬应该是酸的，所以不想吃柠檬，想要苹果。故选A。 8. During some important festivals, Chinese people like to ________ fireworks. A. set off B. show off C. turn off D. put off 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在一些重要的节日期间，中国人喜欢放烟花。 考查动词短语。set off燃放；show off炫耀；turn off关闭；put off推迟。根据“During some important festivals”和“fireworks”可知，燃放烟花是节日庆祝的常见习俗。故选A。 9. Could you tell me ________? A. where is Yumen City B. how can I get to Yumen City C. how I can get to Yumen City D. where I could go to Yumen City 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：你能告诉我去玉门怎么走吗？ 考查宾语从句。宾语从句用陈述语序，排除AB；D选项矛盾，Yumen City本身就是地点，不用where引导，排除，故选C。 10. —Would you please come to my birthday party with me tonight? — .

Jason I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. But when I met Robin and Dick, I found that they were really good people.

He could see nothing. When he was at school, he learned a lot by listening. But Louis wanted to learn more. He hoped to invent something that could allow blind people to read and write. With a lot of hard work, Louis was successful at the age of 15. Thanks to his invention, life for blind people began to be different. If your keyboard (键盘) is turned into a zoo when you come back to your office, what will you do? These animals are message cards named Deng On. They were invented by a Japanese company in 2010 and won the Good Design Award in 2012. They can stand between the keys. The animals standing on the keyboard can catch your eyes. It is very easy for you to see the animals. You can also write down some important notes on it to remind yourself. Millions of people need to work outdoors on rainy days. They simply can’t hold an umbrella at work. Nubrella will help them a lot. Nubrella is a special umbrella which looks like a big helmet (头盔). Alan Kaufman, an American, invented it.
