考查介词辨析。With和……在一起,用;By通过(方式、手段);On在……之上;For为了。根据“How do you study for a test?”可知,此处是在询问学习的方法。表示通过……方式做某事,通常用“by+v-ing”结构。故选B。

A. if have you mentioned B. what have you mentioned
C. if you have mentioned D. what you have mentioned
【答案】C
【解析】

考查宾语从句的语序和连词辨析。if have you mentioned你是否提到了,疑问句语序;what have you mentioned你提到了什么,疑问句语序;if you have mentioned你是否提到了,陈述句语序;what you have mentioned你提到了什么,陈述句语序。在宾语从句中,需使用陈述句语序,而非疑问句语序;根据句意,表达“是否”提到这个想法,应选用表示条件的连词if。故选C。
3. —May I come in? I’m sorry I’m late.

A. how do you come to school B. what were you doing
C. whom you came with D. why you are late

考查宾语从句。how do you come to school你怎么来学校的,疑问语序;what were you doing你在做什么,疑问语序;whom you came with你和谁一起来的,陈述语序;why you are late你为什么迟到,陈述语序。根据“could you tell me...?”可知,空格处是宾语从句,应用陈述语序;结合“I’m late”可知,第一人迟到,第二人是在询问原因,用why引导宾语从句。故选D。
4. The scientists are trying to think of a better way to ________ air pollution.
A. turn on B. care for C. deal with D. get into
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:科学家们正在努力想出一个更好的方法来处理空气污染。
考查动词短语辨析。turn on打开;care for关心,照顾;deal with处理;get into进入。根据“air pollution”可知,此处表示处理空气污染,所以空格处需用deal with。故选C。
5. She used to ________ in the morning, but now she is used to ________ before going to bed.
A. read, reading B. read, read C. reading, reading D. reading, read
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:她过去常常在早上看书,但现在她习惯于睡前看书。
考查非谓语动词。used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”,所以第一空应用read;be used to doing sth.表示“习惯于做某事”,所以第二空应用reading。故选A。
6. He lost a bike ________ cost him 60 dollars.
A. who B. whom C. that D. where
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他丢了一辆自行车,这辆自行车花了他60美元。
考查关系代词辨析。who谁,指人,主格;whom谁,指人,宾格;that那个,指人或物;where在哪里,指地点。根据“He lost a bike…cost him 60 dollars.”可知,先行词“bike”是物,定语从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词“that”引导从句。故选C。

【详解】句意:——汤姆总是对他的作业粗心大意。你能帮助他吗?——没问题。我觉得应该先让他三思而后行。
考查被动语态和情态动词的用法。根据对话,汤姆是动作的接受者(需要被提醒),因此空格处应使用被动语态表示“他应该被告知”。选项A“should be told”为被动语态,符合句意;选项B“can tell”和选项C“should tell”为主动语态,表示“能告诉”或“应该告诉”,与汤姆需被提醒的语境不符;选项D“can be telling”语法结构不自然,不符合习惯用法。故选A。
8. The new basketball ________ Dave. He bought it yesterday.
A. is B. is belong C. belongs D. belongs to
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:新篮球是戴夫的。他昨天买的。

A. listening, watch B. listening, watching
C. to listen, watching D. to listen, watch
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个女孩更喜欢听音乐而不是看电视。
考查“prefer”的用法。在“prefer A to B”结构中,A和B应为平行结构(即相同形式),通常使用动名词(-ing形式)。选项A“listening, watch”中,watch为动词原形,与listening不平行;选项C“to listen, watching”中,to listen为不定式,watching为动名词,结构不对称;选项D“to listen, watch”中,两者形式均不匹配;选项B“listening, watching”均为动名词,符合“prefer doing to doing”的语法规则。故选B。
10. —When shall we get there?
—You are supposed ________ there before 7 o’clock.
A. getting B. get C. to get D. gets

People love to wear clothes made from cotton because they feel comfortable. When you enjoy the good parts it brings, do you know where it comes from? The Indus Valley Civilization (印度河流域文明) is believed to have harvested (收获) cotton for the first time, but China is now the world’s second-largest cotton producer. Xinjiang in the northwest of China is home to the nation’s largest cotton-producing area.
In early September every year, the white hair that grows inside the cotton spreads out for more sunlight, as if telling farmers it’s ready to be picked. Harvesting continues from early September to late October. China produces about 22% of the world’s cotton, of which 87.3% comes from Xinjiang, according to the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics.
The planting of cotton in Xinjiang dates back to the late Western Han Dynasty. According to historical records the cotton introduced from West Asia to Xinjiang was the Levant cotton (草棉). Cotton soon spread in Xinjiang because of the area’s full sunlight and enough rainfall, which the plant needs.
Xinjiang is famous for its long-staple cotton (长绒棉), which is popular among customers. In the past, people mainly picked the cotton by hand, but now machines have slowly replaced it. In Xinjiang, nearly 70% of cotton is harvested by machines. The use of machines prevents the cotton from being polluted and makes it better.
After bags of cotton are sent to many factories, they become clothes, toys, and other things that we see in daily life. Cotton is so good that it has gotten a nickname (绰号)—“white gold.”

“May we all be blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久,千里共婵娟),” wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (阴历). On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops were harvested during that period.
Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat mooncakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs on that day. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and mooncakes stand for family reunion (团聚).
On that night with the beautiful moon in the sky, people enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes, share the stories and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live far away.

Li Ting, 15, from Shanghai, was preparing a talk on some western festivals. She searched the web for certain information and made PowerPoint presentations (展示). Wu Qiong, her classmate, was doing his chemistry homework carefully. But he couldn’t work out the last problem even though he tried his best. So he took out his mobile phone, opened a special app (应用软件), and searched for the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen in several seconds.
Nowadays, many students do homework online with the help of the Internet like Li and Wu. They search the web for information, use apps or discuss through QQ or WeChat.
“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait for your teacher to explain it to you face to face,” according to Wu. “You can also learn by seeing how others work it out. What’s more, it improves students’ abilities. And it’s especially true for new kinds of homework. I am quite skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office.”
However, this trend (趋势) also causes problems. Some lazy students just copy the answers online without thinking. Even some ask their classmates to do homework for them. And their teachers don’t know the fact.
Anyhow, knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control. When you come across (遇到) a difficult problem, think about it by yourself first. Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers after you have turned to the Internet, or you won’t make progress. If you are not sure about your self-control, ask your parents for help.

People love to wear clothes made from cotton because they feel comfortable. When you enjoy the good parts it brings, do you know where it comes from? The Indus Valley Civilization (印度河流域文明) is believed to have harvested (收获) cotton for the first time, but China is now the world’s second-largest cotton producer. Xinjiang in the northwest of China is home to the nation’s largest cotton-producing area.
In early September every year, the white hair that grows inside the cotton spreads out for more sunlight, as if telling farmers it’s ready to be picked. Harvesting continues from early September to late October. China produces about 22% of the world’s cotton, of which 87.3% comes from Xinjiang, according to the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics.
The planting of cotton in Xinjiang dates back to the late Western Han Dynasty. According to historical records, the cotton introduced from West Asia to Xinjiang was the Levant cotton (草棉). Cotton soon spread in Xinjiang because of the area’s full sunlight and enough rainfall, which the plant needs.
Xinjiang is famous for its long-staple cotton (长绒棉), which is popular among customers. In the past, people mainly picked the cotton by hand, but now machines have slowly replaced it. In Xinjiang, nearly 70% of cotton is harvested by machines. The use of machines prevents the cotton from being polluted and makes it better.
After bags of cotton are sent to many factories, they become clothes, toys, and other things that we see in daily life. Cotton is so good that it has gotten a nickname (绰号)—“white gold.”

A. China produces the world’s most cotton now.

A. Because there are lots of cotton machines.

The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (阴历). On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops were harvested during that period.
Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat mooncakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs on that day. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and mooncakes stand for family reunion (团聚).
On that night, with the beautiful moon in the sky, people enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes, share the stories and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live far away.
