二、单项填空(本大题共8小题,每小题1分,共8分)
请阅读下面各小题,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. —I think I am the shyest in my class. What should I do?
—Be more active in class ________ you can improve your ability to express yourself.
A. or B. so that C. unless D. although
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我觉得我是班里最害羞的人。我该怎么办?——在课堂上更活跃些,以便你能提高表达能力。
考查连词辨析。or或者;so that以便;unless除非;although虽然。根据“Be more active in class ... you can improve your ability to express yourself.”可知,在课堂上更活跃些,以便能提高表达能力,用so that引导目的状语从句。故选B。
22. —Can I help you?
—Thanks. But I decided to do it by ________.
A. me B. I C. mine D. myself
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我能帮你吗?——谢谢。但是我决定靠我自己做这件事。
me我(宾格);I我(主格);mine我的(名词性物主代词);myself我自己(反身代词)。根据固定短语“by oneself”表示“独自;靠自己”,主语是“I”,对应的反身代词是“myself”。应填myself。
23. —Could you please take the dog for a walk? I am busy now.
— ________, I also want to take a walk.
A. Yes, I could B. No problem C. No way D. Better not
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能带狗狗去散步吗?我现在很忙。——没问题,我也想散散步了。
考查情景交际。Yes, I could是的,我可以;No problem没问题;No way不可能;Better not最好不要。根据后文“I also want to take a walk”,可知是答应了对方的请求,可以用No problem;上文的could为委婉语气,回答时用can不用could,所以排除A。故选B。
24. —Becky doesn't often eat breakfast.
—Too bad. She doesn't realize the ___________of breakfast.
A. secret B. hobby C. result D. importance
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——贝基经常不吃早饭。——太不好了。她没有意识到早餐的重要性。
考查名词。secret秘密;hobby爱好;result结果;importance重要性。根据“Too bad. She doesn't realize”可知此处表示的是“没有意识到早餐的重要性”,用名词importance。故选D。
25. We all think _____quite necessary to stop school bullying(校园欺凌)
A. it B. her C. that D. this
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们都认为有必要停止学校欺凌。A. it它,也可以用作非人称代词,用作形式主语或形式宾语;B. her她;C. that那个;D. this这个。本句用it作形式宾语,to stop school bullying是真正的宾语。故答案为A。
【点睛】it 用作非人称代词的用法:
一、主要用于指时间、距离、价值、天气、气候及温度等自然现象。如:It’s too late to go there now. 现在去那儿已经太迟了。It rained all day yesterday. 昨天下了一天的雨。It can get very hot here. 这里有时会很热。
二、it用作形式主语:当不定式、动名词、从句等复杂成分用作句子主语时,为保持句子平衡,通常把真正的主语放在句末,而在句首使用形式主语it。如:It’s very important to remember this. 记住这一点很重要。It’s unknown when he will come. 他什么时候来还不知道。
三、it用作形式宾语:当不定式、动名词、从句等复杂成分用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时,通常会在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语,而将真正的宾语移至句末。其基本结构为“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式(动名词或从句)”。如:I find it difficult to do the job well. 我发现做好这件事不容易。I think it best that you should stay here. 我认为你最好住这儿。
26. —Do you have any good friends here, Jim?
—No, that’s why I always feel ________ now
A. lonely B. strong C. alone D. clever
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Jim,你在这里有好朋友吗?——没有,那就是为什么我现在总是感到孤独的原因。
lonely孤独的;strong强壮的;alone独自的;clever聪明的。根据答语“No”可知,Jim在这里没有好朋友,缺乏朋友会导致心理上的寂寞感。lonely侧重主观情感上的孤独,alone 侧重客观状态上的独自。此处强调心理感受。应填lonely。
27. —Shall we ________ the things we don’t use to people in need?
—Good idea.
A. put off B. set up C. give up D. give away
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们把不用的东西赠送给需要帮助的人好吗?——好主意。
put off推迟;set up建立;give up放弃;give away赠送。根据“the things we don’t use”和“people in need”可知,此处指赠送闲置物品,give away符合语境。
28. I noticed a girl ________ in the next room when I walked past.
A. dance B. danced C. dancing D. is dancing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我走过时,我注意到一个女孩正在隔壁房间跳舞。
notice sb. doing sth.意为“注意到某人正在做某事”,强调动作正在进行;notice sb. do sth.意为“注意到某人做了某事”。根据“when I walked past”可知,路过时看到动作正在进行,应该用现在分词作宾语补足语。应填dancing。

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
(Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller)
68. What makes the writer start imagining the three days?
A. Walking in the woods. B. Asking herself questions.
C. Seeing natural beauty. D. Touching interesting things.
69. What does the writer want to do during the three days?
A. Read books to people on the first day. B. Go to the movies on the second day.
C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Have a wonderful dream every day.
70. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. A description of different senses. B. A method of living a pleasant life.
C. Encouragement to the blind people. D. Advice to people without disabilities.
71. Which is the best structure (结构) of the passage?

72. Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with?
A. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
(Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller)

C. Seeing natural beauty. D. Touching interesting things.
69. What does the writer want to do during the three days?
A. Read books to people on the first day. B. Go to the movies on the second day.
C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Have a wonderful dream every day.
70. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. A description of different senses. B. A method of living a pleasant life.
C. Encouragement to the blind people. D. Advice to people without disabilities.
71. Which is the best structure (结构) of the passage?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…)
A. B. C. D.
72. Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with?
A. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
B. Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today.
