When I listen to soft music, I feel relaxed. 【答案】relaxing 【详解】句意：多么令人放松的一个下午啊！当我听轻音乐时，我感到很放松。原句中“afternoon”是名词，需要用形容词来修饰，应用relax的形容词形式relaxing，用来描述事物本身“令人放松的”，修饰“afternoon”这个时间段，符合语境。 5．—What’s the ________ (mean) of this word? —It means “very small”. 【答案】meaning 【详解】句意：——这个单词的意思是什么？ ——它的意思是 “非常小”。“the”后需要接名词，mean的名词形式是meaning，意为“意思、含义”，the meaning of...表示“……的意思”。 6．We all know that red roses are ________ (consider) as the symbol of love. 【答案】considered 【详解】句意：我们都知道红玫瑰被视为爱情的象征。主语red roses和动词consider之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，其结构为“be动词 + 动词的过去分词”，consider的过去分词是considered。 7．These goods are ________ (great) needed. Thank you for giving them to us. 【答案】greatly 【详解】句意：这些货物非常需要。感谢你赠送给我们。此处是副词修饰动词needed，great的副词形式为greatly，意为“非常；极大地”。 二、完成句子 8．你们为期末考试做好准备了吗？ Are you ______ ______ the final exam? 【答案】 ready for 【详解】原句中“为……做好准备”是关键词，表达“为……做好准备”的短语是be ready for。 本句为一般现在时的疑问句，“Are you...”后接形容词，故填ready；for。 9．在他的中国朋友的帮助下，萨姆搭建了一个皮影戏舞台，并制作了一些纸木偶。 ________ ________ ________ of his Chinese friends, Sam built a shadow puppet play stage and made some paper puppets. 【答案】 With the help 【详解】原句中“在……的帮助下”是关键词，表示“在……的帮助下”的短语是with the help of，介词短语作状语，首字母大写。 10．将会从每个组里选出两名获胜者。 Two winners ______ ______ ______ from each group. 【答案】 will be chosen 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“将选出”，获胜者是被选出，用被动语态，时态为一般将来时，故填will；be；chosen。 11．我想要报告关于护士工作的情况。 I’d like to ________ ________the job of a nurse. 【答案】 report on 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“报告”。固定短语“report on”意为“报告关于……的情况”；“would like to do sth.”意为“想要做某事”，to后接动词原形，故填report；on。 12．这份工作将不会被科技轻易地取代，因为病人需要人类的关爱和善意。 This job won’t ________ ________ ________ technology easily because patients need human _________and ________. 【答案】 be replaced by care kindness 【详解】根据句意可知，第一处表示“被……取代”，用短语“be replaced by”，won't后接动词原形，所以第一、二、三空依次填be、replaced、by；第二处表示“关爱”，用名词“care”；第三处表示“善意”，用名词“kindness”，且care和kindness都是不可数名词，所以第四、五空依次填care、kindness。故填be；replaced；by；care；kindness。 13．它被认为是一份有挑战性的但是很有意义的工作。 It’s considered a ________ ________ ________job. 【答案】 challenging but meaningful 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“有挑战性的但是很有意义”的表达。“有挑战性的”对应英文challenging，“但是”对应英文 but，“有意义的”对应英文 meaningful。这三个词构成形容词短语，修饰后面的名词job，符合“一份有挑战性的但是很有意义的工作”的语境。故填challenging；but；meaningful。 三、语法选择 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 As middle school students, we all have beautiful dreams about the future.

What was more unusual was the way in which he made his dream come true. After high school, he wanted to join the U.S. Air Force, but he failed because of his poor eyesight. However, his dream remained. At the age of 33, Ted was a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his garden, he watched planes fly overhead and an idea came to him: to use balloons (气球) to fly. A few weeks later, Ted bought 42 huge balloons. He tied them to a chair and then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches and a gun. His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go as he planned. Once his friends cut the ropes under Ted’s chair, the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about 4000 meters above the ground with Ted and his chair. He didn’t shoot any of the balloons because he was afraid he might break the balance (平衡) of his “plane”. Ted stayed in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours, cold and frightened. Planes heading towards Los Angeles’ busy international airport reported the strange sight. And Ted’s balloons caused great danger to them. At last, Ted gathered his courage to shoot a few balloons and slowly landed on the ground, where many policemen were waiting for him. Ted made his dream come true, but it cost him: he was fined $1,500 for breaking the law about air safety. When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Ted answered, “A man can’t just sit around and do nothing; he should have his dream and go for it.” 1．Why couldn’t Ted join the American Air Force? A．Because he didn’t finish high school. B．Because his parents stopped him. C．Because there was a problem with his eyes. D．Because he was too short. 2．He was fined $1,500 because ________. A．his balloons caused trouble to planes. B．he stayed too long in the air. C．he used too many balloons. D．he took a gun with him. 3．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Ted Brown paid the price for his behavior. B．Ted Brown realized his dream in an unusual way. C．Encouragement is very important to one’s success. D．Ted Brown became famous because he set a new flying record. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了泰德·布朗从小梦想飞行，因视力不佳未能加入美国空军，最终以一种不寻常的方式实现梦想，却因违反航空安全法被罚款的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“After high school, he wanted to join the U.

What was more unusual was the way in which he made his dream come true. After high school, he wanted to join the U.S. Air Force, but he failed because of his poor eyesight. However, his dream remained. At the age of 33, Ted was a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his garden, he watched planes fly overhead and an idea came to him: to use balloons (气球) to fly. A few weeks later, Ted bought 42 huge balloons. He tied them to a chair and then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches and a gun. His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go as he planned. Once his friends cut the ropes under Ted’s chair, the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about 4000 meters above the ground with Ted and his chair. He didn’t shoot any of the balloons because he was afraid he might break the balance (平衡) of his “plane”. Ted stayed in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours, cold and frightened. Planes heading towards Los Angeles’ busy international airport reported the strange sight. And Ted’s balloons caused great danger to them. At last, Ted gathered his courage to shoot a few balloons and slowly landed on the ground, where many policemen were waiting for him. Ted made his dream come true, but it cost him: he was fined $1,500 for breaking the law about air safety. When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Ted answered, “A man can’t just sit around and do nothing; he should have his dream and go for it.” 1．Why couldn’t Ted join the American Air Force? A．Because he didn’t finish high school. B．Because his parents stopped him. C．Because there was a problem with his eyes. D．Because he was too short. 2．He was fined $1,500 because ________. A．his balloons caused trouble to planes. B．he stayed too long in the air. C．he used too many balloons. D．he took a gun with him. 3．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Ted Brown paid the price for his behavior. B．Ted Brown realized his dream in an unusual way. C．Encouragement is very important to one’s success. D．Ted Brown became famous because he set a new flying record. 六、六选五 What’s a day like for a panda keeper? Well, for Ma Tao, it’s a day full of happiness and tiredness.

After the talk, I have a clear career dream—I want to be a computer engineer. I like computers very much. I often spend my free time learning computer knowledge and playing computer games. I’m good at math and science, which are very important for a computer engineer. My computer teacher said that I have a talent for computer learning and he encouraged me to stick to my dream. To be a good computer engineer, I know I need to face many growing pains and work hard to overcome them. First, I need to improve my English, because many computer books and materials are in English. I used to be weak in English, so I read English articles every morning and do more exercises after school. Now my English has improved a lot. Second, I need to learn more computer skills. I take a computer course on weekends and I practice programming (编程) every day. Sometimes I can’t work out a programming problem and I feel upset, but I never give up. I ask my computer teacher for help and keep trying until I solve it. Through these efforts, I have got a lot of gains. I have become more hard-working and patient. I also learn that no dream is too big and no effort is too small. I know there are still many difficulties ahead, but I will keep working hard. I believe that my growing pains will turn into gains and I will realize my career dream one day. 根据短文内容回答问题 (字数不超过10个单词) 1．What’s Lin Tao’s career dream? __________________________________________ 2．What subjects is Lin Tao good at? __________________________________________ 3．Why does Lin Tao need to improve his English? __________________________________________ 4．What does Lin Tao do on weekends to learn computer skills? __________________________________________ 5．What has Lin Tao gained through his efforts? __________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
