学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________
一、单项选择(10分)
1. —How long do you spend ________ your homework every day?
—About two hours.
A. do B. to do C. doing D. does
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你每天花多长时间做作业?——大约两个小时。
根据题干“spend...your homework”可知,此处是动词短语spend time (in) doing sth.,意为“花时间做某事”,应填doing。
2. —________ do you relax on weekends?
—I often go hiking with my parents.
A. What B. How C. Who D. Where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你周末如何放松?——我经常和父母一起去徒步旅行。
What什么;How怎样;Who谁;Where哪里。根据答句“I often go hiking with my parents.”可知,前句询问的是放松的方式,即“怎样放松”,应填How。
3. He dreams of ________ a famous writer and publishing his own novel.
A. become B. becoming C. became
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他梦想成为一名著名作家并出版自己的小说。
dream of 意为“梦想”,of 是介词,后接动名词作宾语,应填becoming。
4. You shouldn’t spend ________ time on computer games. It’s bad for your eyes.
A. too many B. much too C. too much D. many too
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:你不应该在电脑游戏上花太多时间,这对你的眼睛不好。
too many太多,后接可数名词复数;much too太,后接形容词或副词;too much太多,后接不可数名词;many too搭配错误。根据“You shouldn’t spend…time on computer games”可知,time是不可数名词,应用too much修饰。
5. Did you notice Tom ________ single strokes carefully when he practiced calligraphy?
A. practice B. to practice C. practicing D. practices
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:你注意到汤姆练习书法时仔细地写每一笔了吗?
该句中使用了句型notice sb. doing sth.“注意到某人正在做某事”,表示注意到一个正在发生的动作,这里应用现在分词形式practicing作宾语补足语。
6. Remember ________ your flute to the music room after the hobby class.
A. return B. to return C. returning D. returned
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:记得兴趣课结束后把你的长笛归还到音乐室。
remember to do sth.意为“记得去做某事”,指动作未发生;remember doing sth.意为“记得做过某事”,指动作已发生。根据语境是提醒课后去归还,动作尚未发生,应用不定式。
7. ________ healthy food can help you stay in good health.
A. Eat B. Eating C. Ate D. Eats
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:吃健康的食物能帮助你保持健康。
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少主语,所以应该用动名词形式“Eating”作主语,表示“吃健康的食物”这一行为。而“Eat”是动词原形,“Ate”是过去式,“Eats”是第三人称单数形式,均不能作主语。故选B。
8. She doesn’t know how ________ her time well. She is always busy with her studies and feels tired.
A. manage B. to manage C. managing
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:她不知道如何管理好她的时间。她总是忙于学习,所以感觉很累。
考查“疑问词+不定式”结构。manage管理,动词原形;to manage管理,动词不定式;managing管理,动名词/现在分词。how是疑问词,其后跟不定式构成“疑问词+不定式”结构,在句中作宾语,表示“如何做某事”,所以应使用不定式形式。故选B。
9. —You’ve been studying for 5 hours. Take a break!
—No, I won’t ________ now. I’m so close to finishing this project!
A. turn up B. give up C. make up D. take up
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你已经学习了5个小时了。休息一下吧!——不,我现在不会放弃。我马上就要完成这个项目了!
考查动词短语辨析。turn up出现;give up放弃;make up编造;take up开始从事。根据“I’m so close to finishing this project!”可知,我马上就要完成这个项目了,说话者表示不会放弃。故选B。
10. —I’m afraid to join the English speech contest.
—Come on! Just ________ it a go. You will surprise yourself.
A. have B. give C. take D. make
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我害怕参加英语演讲比赛。——加油!就试一试吧。你会让自己惊讶的。
考查动词辨析。have有;give给;take拿;make制作。此处表示鼓励对方尝试,give it a go表示试一试,是固定搭配,故选B。

Yang got inspired (受到了启发) and in 2012 she left her job in Beijing and started to work in Hami, Xinjiang. There she spent most of her free time looking for meteorites. However, it was not easy. Luckily, Yang found a small meteorite on one trip. She jumped up and down and shouted,“I found a meteorite!” And the finding made her decide to look for more meteorites.
Yang spent five years in Hami and found more than 600 meteorites. These meteorites were valuable. Someone wanted to buy them at a high price, but Yang said no. She never thought of making money with them.
In 2017, Yang went back to Guizhou Province and started a museum showing her meteorites.“I spent more than 300, 000 yuan opening this museum. Because I didn’t have enough money, I borrowed some,” she said. So it came as a surprise when she decided to open the museum to people for free.
