A
If you are in a town in a western country, you’ll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that the dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. Once a man had a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn’t eat what they got until their master (主人) agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves (吓唬贼) , but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is the best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.
31. ________ are more useful than the dog in the world.
A. Many animals B. A few animals
C. Some animals D. No other animals
32. Now people in cities keep dogs because dogs ________.
A. fight with other animals B. are like their friends
C. are lonely D. are not afraid of thieves
33. In the old days, people used dogs for ________.
A. hunting other animals B. frightening thieves
C. company D. amusement
34. What does the underlined word “hunting” mean?
A. 陪伴. B. 领导. C. 训练. D. 打猎.
35. Which of the following is WRONG?
A. A dog can be very useful. B. A dog can frighten thieves.
C. A dog can be all people’s children. D. A dog can be everybody’s friend.
B
Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, people often use it. In America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch (沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels (频道) to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive (上瘾的) . One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours without stopping! These people, who do nothing all day except watching TV, are called couch-potatoes.
In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen (冻僵的) that they almost look like dead things! Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now that you know what a couch-potato means, the next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, “What a couch-potato!”

2. The new bike ________ me 200 yuan.

【解析】
【详解】句意:这辆新自行车花费了我 200 元。
cost花费(主语是物);paid付款(主语是人);took 花费(主语通常是It);spent花费(主语是人)。本句主语“The new bike”是物,且花费的是金钱,符合cost的用法。
3. ________ Tom, his sister Amy also took part in the sports meeting.

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:除了汤姆,他的妹妹艾米也参加了运动会。
Beside在……旁边;Besides除……之外(还有);Except除……之外(没有);Or或者。根据句中的关键词“also”可知,艾米也参加了,说明汤姆包含在内,表示“除……之外还有”,应填Besides。

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨晚当我到家时,她睡着了。
fell进入睡眠状态;was是,一般过去时;has fallen已经进入;is是,一般现在时。根据“last night”和“got”可知,句子时态为一般过去时,排除C和D。asleep是形容词,be asleep表示“睡着”的状态,fall asleep表示“入睡”的动作。根据语境可知,到家时她正处于睡着的状态,应填was。
5. Mrs. Green is a ________ woman.
A. 30 years B. 30-years-old C. 30-year-old D. 30-year old
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:格林夫人是一位30岁的女士。
复合形容词作定语时,中间用连字符连接,名词需用单数形式,因此选30-year-old。
6. —We are going to have a picnic tomorrow. What’s the weather like, Mike?
—Why not ________ the radio and listen to the weather report?
A. turn on B. turn off C. turn up D. turn down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们明天要去野餐。天气怎么样,迈克?——为什么不打开收音机听听天气预报呢?
turn on打开;turn off 关闭;turn up调大;turn down调小。根据“listen to the weather report”可知,要想听天气预报,需要先把收音机打开。应填turn on。
7. Ellen ________ interest in playing football.
A. becomes an B. plays an C. takes an D. is an
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:Ellen对踢足球产生了兴趣。
becomes an成为一个;plays an玩一个;takes an产生一个;is an是一个。因为句中有“interest”,固定搭配take an interest in意为“对……感兴趣”,主语Ellen是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词需用takes。其他选项均无此搭配。应填takes an。
8. Why don’t you ________ her a camera? That’s not expensive.
A. got B. get C. gets D. getting
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你为什么不给她买一个相机呢?那个不贵。
got买或得到,动词的过去式;get动词原形;gets动词的第三人称单数形式;getting现在分词。根据“Why don’t you”可知,句中含有助动词don’t,其后动词应填动词原形get。
9. Mother takes ________ care of me, while I look after my dog ________.
A. well, good B. good, good C. good, well D. well, well
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:妈妈很好地照顾我,而我照顾好我的狗。
well好,副词;good好的,形容词。第一空修饰名词care,应填形容词good,构成固定搭配take good care of;第二空修饰动词短语look after,应填副词well。
10. He rather than I ________ going to give a gift to you on Christmas Day.
A. are B. am C. is D. were
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:圣诞节打算送你礼物的是他,不是我。
are“是”;am“是”;is“是”;were“是”。“rather than”连接两个主语时,谓语动词要跟前面的主语保持一致。He rather than I…真正核心主语是He,为第三人称单数,所以be动词要用三单,应填is。
11. I had no time ________ more books at that time.
A. read B. to read C. reading D. reads
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:那时我没有时间读更多的书。
固定搭配have no time to do sth.表示“没有时间做某事”,因此选to read。
12. Who makes you ________ here so long?
A. waiting B. to wait C. wait D. be waiting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:谁让你在这里等待这么久?
make somebody do something译为“使某人做某事”,后接省略to的动词不定式(即动词原形)。
13. I can’t stand him ________ talking.
A. keeping B. him C. to keep D. kept
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我无法忍受他不停说话。
keeping保持,动名词;him他,宾格;to keep动词不定式;kept动词的过去式。根据“can’t stand sb. doing sth.”可知,意为“无法忍受某人做某事”,stand后接宾语再加动词-ing形式作补足语;且keep doing sth.意为“一直做某事”,应填keeping。
14. Yang Lei’s parents encouraged him ________ in Gansu Province.
A. with teaching B. teach C. to teach D. teaching
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:杨磊的父母鼓励他去甘肃省教书。
with teaching介词加动名词;to teach教,动词不定式;teaching动名词。encourage意为“鼓励”,固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”,空处应填动词不定式to teach,在句中作宾语补足语。
15. He had trouble ________ to the top of the mountain.
A. hike B. hiking C. to hike D. hiked
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他徒步到达山顶遇到了困难。
hike徒步,动词原形;hiking动名词;to hike动词不定式;hiked动词的过去式。固定搭配have trouble (in) doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”,后接动名词形式。应填hiking。
16. ________ bad news it is! We can’t go there for our holiday.
A. What B. How C. What a D. How a
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:多么糟糕的消息啊!我们不能去那里度假了。
What多么;How多么。中心词news是不可数名词,感叹句修饰名词用What,结构为What+形容词+名词+主语+谓语!,且不可数名词前不加 a。应填What。
17. He doesn’t feel like ______ anything today.
A. to eat B. eating C. eat D. eats
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他今天不想吃任何东西。
feel like想要,后接动词-ing形式作固定搭配;to eat为动词不定式、eat为动词原形、eats为动词第三人称单数形式,均不符合feel like的用法规则,应填eating。
18. ________ he left here?
A. Do you think when B. When do you think
C. Do you think how long D. How long do you think
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你认为他什么时候离开这里?
Do you think when语法错误;When do you think你认为什么时候;Do you think how long语法错误;How long do you think你认为多久。这是一个特殊疑问句,特殊疑问词When需要放在句首。同时,“do you think”作为插入语,应该放在特殊疑问词之后,且句子其余部分需使用陈述句语序,只有选项B符合这一语法规则。
19. His father ________ him a car on his ________ birthday.
A. gave, eighteenth B. gave, eighteen C. give, eighteenth D. give, eighteen
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:他的父亲在他十八岁生日时送给了他一辆车。
gave给,动词的过去式;give动词原形;eighteenth第十八,序数词;eighteen十八,基数词。第一空描述过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,应填动词的过去式gave;第二空表示“第几个生日”,应填序数词eighteenth。

A. it, around B. that, all over C. this, about D. what, everywhere
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不喜欢这种事,即当售货员跟着我到处转的时候。
it它;that那;this这;what什么。around到处;all over到处;about关于;everywhere到处。第一空,like it when...是固定句型,it作形式宾语,指代后面when引导的从句,不能用 that/this/what;第二空,follow sb. around 是固定短语,意为“跟着某人到处转”。应填it;around。
三、完形填空。(共10分)

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树木在日常生活中的多种用途,重点讲解了如何通过树木的年轮判断树龄和过去的气候变化。
【21题详解】
句意:它们为我们提供许多东西,比如木材、氧气、橡胶、药品和其他许多物品。
空后为“us many things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber, medicines and many other things”,语境为“树木为我们提供很多东西”。give sb. sth.是固定搭配,表示“给某人提供某物”,符合“树木为人类提供资源”的语境,应选用give。tell、ask、get均与“提供资源”的语境不符。
【22题详解】
句意:它们也能告诉我们很多关于气候的信息。
前文提到树木提供资源,后文补充“它们也能告诉我们很多关于气候的信息”,表递进关系,且句子为肯定句。also表示“也”,用于肯定句中,放在情态动词can之后,符合递进逻辑。neither、either、too用法或位置不符。
【23题详解】
句意:如果你横切一棵树,你会发现它有许多年轮。
空后为复数名词rings,且后文提到“每年长一个新的年轮”,说明年轮数量多。many修饰可数名词复数,表示“许多”,符合语境,应选用many。much/little修饰不可数名词,few表示“很少”,与后文“每年生长”的语境矛盾。
【24题详解】
句意:正因为如此,我们能知道一棵树的年龄。
前文提到“大多数树每年长一个新年轮”,后文提到“百年老树有超过一百个年轮”,因此年轮数量与树龄相关。how old表示“多大年纪”,此处指树的年龄,符合“通过年轮判断树龄”的逻辑。how big、how long、how much与树龄无关。
【25题详解】
句意:一棵超过一百年的树意味着它有超过一百个年轮。
前文提到“每年长一个新年轮”,因此“百年老树”的年轮数量超过一百。rings表示“年轮”,符合上下文语境。trees、leaves、people均与“百年老树的年轮数量”无关。
【26题详解】
句意:当气候干燥或非常寒冷时,树木生长缓慢,它们的年轮通常很薄。
前文主语为复数名词the trees,此处修饰rings,表示“它们的年轮”,需用复数形容词性物主代词。their表示“它们的”,指代树木,符合语法与语境。its、his、her均与复数主语trees不匹配。
【27题详解】
句意:当气候湿润温暖时,年轮会厚得多。
前文提到干燥寒冷时年轮“thin(薄)”,此处描述“潮湿温暖”的情况,应与前文形成对比。thicker表示“更厚的”,与thin形成反义对比,符合语境。bigger、thinner、smaller均不符合“潮湿温暖时树木生长好,年轮更厚”的逻辑。
【28题详解】
句意:如果年轮突然变得很薄或很厚,这意味着气候发生了突然变化。
前文提到“气候干燥/寒冷时年轮薄,湿润/温暖时年轮厚”,因此年轮突然变化说明气候发生了变化。climate表示“气候”,符合上下文逻辑。trees、rings、animals均与“年轮变化的原因”无关。
【29题详解】
句意:如果我们观察这棵树的年轮,就能了解一百年前的气候。
固定搭配learn about sth.表示“了解关于某事的信息”,此处指了解过去的气候。about符合learn about的固定搭配。at、of、from均无法构成该固定搭配。
【30题详解】
句意:我们可以看到如今的气候正在如何变化。
空后句子“our climate is changing today”作see的宾语,需引导宾语从句,表示“如何变化”。how表示“如何、怎样”,引导宾语从句,符合语境。why、when、while均不符合句子语义。

A
If you are in a town in a western country, you’ll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that the dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. Once a man had a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn’t eat what they got until their master (主人) agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves (吓唬贼) , but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is the best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.
31. ________ are more useful than the dog in the world.
A. Many animals B. A few animals
C. Some animals D. No other animals
32. Now people in cities keep dogs because dogs ________.
A. fight with other animals B. are like their friends
C. are lonely D. are not afraid of thieves
33. In the old days, people used dogs for ________.
A. hunting other animals B. frightening thieves
C. company D. amusement
34. What does the underlined word “hunting” mean?
A. 陪伴. B. 领导. C. 训练. D. 打猎.
35. Which of the following is WRONG?
A. A dog can be very useful. B. A dog can frighten thieves.
C. A dog can be all people’s children. D. A dog can be everybody’s friend.
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了狗在人类生活中的角色演变,从古代协助狩猎、放牧,到现代作为人类的陪伴与朋友,说明了养狗原因的变化。
【31题详解】
第一段第二句“the dog is the most useful animal in the world”,原文明确指出狗是世界上最有用的动物,即“没有其他动物比狗更有用”,因此选D。
【32题详解】
第一段倒数第一句“they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family”,原文说明现在人们养狗是把它当作朋友和家人,因此选B。
【33题详解】
第一段第四句“Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals”,原文明确提到古代人们用狗来狩猎其他动物,因此选A。
【34题详解】
第一段第四句上下文“Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn’t eat what they got until their master agreed”,根据上下文,狗帮助主人获取猎物、捕猎的行为对应“打猎”,因此选D。
【35题详解】
第一段第7-9句“For a child… For a young wife… For old people…”,原文只说明狗对特定人群而言像孩子,并非“所有人的孩子”,选项C表述绝对化,与原文不符,因此选C。
B
Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, people often use it. In America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch (沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels (频道) to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive (上瘾的) . One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours without stopping!

In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen (冻僵的) that they almost look like dead things! Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now that you know what a couch-potato means, the next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, “What a couch-potato!”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国常用的俚语“couch-potato”的含义、由来,指沉迷电视、久坐不动、不爱运动的人。
【36题详解】
第一段第二句“Well, in America, people often use it.”,原文明确说明“couch-potato”在美国被广泛使用。
【37题详解】
第一段最后一句“These people, who do nothing all day except watching TV, are called couch-potatoes.”,couch-potato的核心特征是沉迷看电视。
【38题详解】
第二段第4-5句“…they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Because they look so still and fat…”,couch-potato被称为“土豆”,是因为他们看电视时久坐不动、不运动且通常变胖。
【39题详解】
全文主旨,第一段开头与第二段结尾“Do you know what couch-potato means?/Now that you know what a couch-potato means…”,全文围绕“couch-potato”的含义展开,介绍了它的定义、由来和用法,因此主旨是解释这个俚语的意思。
【40题详解】
全文隐含的建议,第二段对couch-potato的负面描述“…addictive to TV, they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat./…the next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, ‘What a couch-potato!’”,作者描述了沉迷电视的不良后果,并调侃过度看电视的人,隐含的建议是“不要看太多电视”。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Kate为母亲挑选生日礼物的过程,她先后看中戒指、鞋子,最终选择了一顶合适的帽子。
【46题详解】
句意:下班后,Kate去购物。此处需要一个动名词,在句中作动词want的宾语。因为前文提到Kate想买礼物,固定搭配want to do sth./go shopping,结合上下文,go shopping(去购物)符合语境,所以选择shopping。
