四 、根据汉语提示及语境或用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。
1.Do you think small changes can make a ________ (different) to the environment?
【答案】difference
【详解】句意:你认为小变化能对环境产生影响吗?“make a difference”是固定短语,意为“有影响、起作用”,此处需要将形容词“different”转换为名词“difference”,符合短语搭配要求,故填difference。
2.Every year, thousands of ________ (visit) visit the West Lake.
【答案】visitors
【详解】句意:每年,成千上万的游客游览西湖。动词visit意为“游览”,根据语境“游客”,需转化为名词visitor。thousands of后跟名词复数。故填visitors。
3.We should always be polite and helpful to the ________ (上了年纪的) people around us.
【答案】elderly
【详解】句意:我们应该对身边的老年人始终保持礼貌与帮助。根据汉语提示可知,“上了年纪的”对应的英文表达为elderly,意为“年长的、上年纪的”。elderly是形容词,在句中修饰名词people,作定语;“elderly people”意为“老年人”,是常见搭配。故填elderly。
4.There is an ________ (organize) called “Green Hope”, working to protect the environment in our town.
【答案】organization
【详解】句意:我们镇上有一个名为“绿色希望”的组织,致力于保护环境。所给提示词“organize”是动词,意为“组织”,前面有不定冠词“an”来修饰,后需接可数名词单数,organize名词形式organization“组织、团体”,是可数名词单数形式。
5.Thousands of fans filled the ________ (体育馆) to cheer for their favorite team.
【答案】stadium
【详解】句意:成千上万的球迷们挤满了体育馆,为他们最喜爱的球队加油助威。根据汉语提示可知,stadium“体育馆”,是可数名词,空前有定冠词the,用名词单数形式。
6.The school will _______ (提供) textbooks for all students at no extra cost.
【答案】provide
【详解】句意:这所学校将免费向所有学生提供课本。根据汉语提示可知,“提供”的英文为provide,动词,位于will之后,需用动词原形,因此填入provide。
7.Would you like a ___________ (罐) of Coke?
【答案】tin/can
【详解】句意:你想要一罐可乐吗?结合语境和中文提示可知这里用可数名词“罐tin/can”,与空后构成“a tin/can of Coke一罐可乐”,空前有“a”,所以tin/can都用单数。故填tin/can。
五、阅读短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确的形式填空(每词限用一次)。

Carlos’s project got bigger with the support of the community. A man called Jack heard about his work and helped him get some money to buy more tools to give away.

In Portland, 16-year-old Carlos Mendez found that many kids in his neighborhood had broken bicycles lying in their garages (车库). Carlos, who had learned to repair (修理) bikes from his older brother, saw a chance to help.
He had a free bicycle repair class in his family’s yard every Saturday afternoon. With tools given by a local bike shop and spare parts from old bicycles, Carlos taught kids how to repair bikes. Soon, his yard became a popular place to hang out on weekends.
To help more people, Carlos saved money from his part-time job and bought a second-hand tricycle (三轮车). He turned it into a mobile repair station named “Rolling Wrenches”. Now, he rides his tricycle to different parks and community centers in the city, offering free simple repairs and safety checks (检查).
Carlos’s project got bigger with the support of the community. A man called Jack heard about his work and helped him get some money to buy more tools to give away. His mobile workshop has repaired over 200 bicycles so far. Carlos believes that every kid should have a safe bike to ride, and he’s making that come true.
