从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
1.Have you told your parents about the good news ________?
A.already B.yet C.just D.ever
【答案】B
【详解】句意:你已经把这个好消息告诉你的父母了吗?
already已经;yet还,已经;just刚刚;ever曾经。already常用于肯定句;yet常用于否定句或疑问句句末;just和ever常位于句中。本句为现在完成时的一般疑问句,且空格位于句末,应填yet。
2.—Could you tell me where Jim is?I want to return the bicycle to him.
—Oh, he ________ the library. He will be back soon.
A.goes to B.has gone to C.has been to D.went to
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我吉姆在哪里吗?我想把自行车还给他。——哦,他去了图书馆。他很快就会回来。
goes to去,一般现在时;has gone to 去了(某地),现在完成时,表示去了某地还未回来;has been to 去过(某地),现在完成时,表示去过某地并已经回来了;went to去,一般过去时。根据“He will be back soon.”可知他去了图书馆还未回来,需用has gone to。
3.I have ________ watched this cartoon, so I’d like to choose another one.
A.never B.already C.ever D.just now
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我已经看过这个动画片,所以我想选另一部。
never从不;already已经;ever曾经;just now刚才。根据“so I’d like to choose another one”可知,说话者已经看过这部动画片,需要用表示“已经”的already,符合语境。
4.We can’t work out this math problem. Can you tell us ________?
A.how to do B.what to do it C.how to do it D.What to do
【答案】C
【详解】句意:我们解不出这道数学题。你能告诉我们如何做它吗?
动词do是及物动词,后面必须接宾语。how是副词,不能作宾语,因此结构应为how to do it;what是代词,可以作宾语,因此结构应为what to do。how to do缺少宾语;what to do it中what和it均充当宾语,成分重复;What to do首字母大写不符合句中填空规范;how to do it结构正确且符合句意。
5.It’s kind ________ the old man to donate all his money ________ the charity.
A.for; to B.of; to C.for; for D.of; for
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这位老人把所有的钱都捐给慈善机构,真是太善良了。
第一空考查句型“It’s+adj.+of/for+sb.+to do sth.”,形容词kind表示人的性格品质,介词用of;第二空考查固定搭配donate sth. to...,意为“把某物捐赠给……”,介词用to。
6.—I’m going to volunteer at the community center this weekend.
—______! Let’s go together.
A.You’re welcome B.That sounds great
C.Not at all D.Never mind
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——我这周末要去社区中心做志愿者。——听起来很棒!我们一起去吧。
You’re welcome不客气;That sounds great听起来很棒;Not at all一点也不;Never mind没关系。根据“Let’s go together.”可知,此处是赞同对方的计划,“That sounds great”符合语境。
7.If more people ________ green habits, less pollution ________ in the future.
A.form; will produce B.will form; is produced
C.form; will be produced D.will form; will produce
【答案】C
【详解】句意:如果更多人养成环保习惯,未来产生的污染就会更少。
if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则,从句用一般现在时,主语people是复数,谓语动词用原形form;主句主语“pollution”与“produce”之间是被动关系,且时间状语为in the future,故用一般将来时的被动语态“will be produced”,应填form; will be produced。
8.The “Go West” Programme is so meaningful that it has won high ________ among college students.
A.popularity B.service C.manners D.discussion
【答案】A
【详解】句意:“西部计划”如此有意义,以至于它在大学生中赢得了高度欢迎。
popularity受欢迎程度;service服务;manners礼貌;discussion讨论。根据“The ’Go West’ Programme is so meaningful”可知该计划很有意义,推测出它在大学生中是很受欢迎的,win high popularity表示“赢得高度的欢迎”。
9.If we don’t save water, it will ________ soon in some dry areas.
A.run out B.run out of C.use up D.be run out
【答案】A
【详解】句意:如果我们不节约用水,在一些干旱地区水很快就会用完。
run out(某物)被耗尽、用完,主语为事物(本句it指代water),无被动语态; run out of/use up主语必须是人,结构为sb. run out of sth./sb. use up sth.,本句主语it指代water,二者不可选用; will后接动词原形,be run out形式错误,run out无被动。故填run out。
10.Even small actions can ________ to protect the environment.
A.make a living B.make a mistake C.make a noise D.make a difference
【答案】D
【详解】句意:即使是微小的行动也能为保护环境产生影响。
make a difference有影响,起作用;make a living谋生;make a mistake犯错误;make a noise吵闹。根据句中的“protect the environment”(保护环境)可知,即使是微小的行为也能起到作用。故“make a difference”符合语境。

【导语】本文讲述了Sophie发起“节约食物”活动,通过海报、分享角等方式成功减少学校食物浪费,最终产生重大影响的故事。
【详解】11.句意:每天,学生们扔掉太多的食物。
“food”为不可数名词,需用“too much”修饰。too many“太多”修饰可数名词,much too“太”修饰形容词,many too语法错误,均不符合。
12.句意:有些人只吃了几口饭就把它们扔进了垃圾桶。
“before”后需接动名词,且“them”指代“meals”,动作应为“扔”。throwing“扔”符合语义。giving“给”,selling“卖”,keeping“保留”,均不符合。
13.句意:她决定做点什么来减少学校里的食物浪费。
上文提到食物浪费严重,Sophie想要解决问题,因此应是“减少”。reduce“减少”符合语义。increase“增加”,cause“引起”,avoid“避免”,均不符合。
14.句意:校长非常支持并同意让她发起“节约食物”活动。
校长同意她的想法,说明是“支持的”。supportive“支持的”符合语义。angry“生气的”,worried“担心的”,surprised“惊讶的”,均不符合。
15.句意:Sophie请她的一些朋友来帮助她。
她需要帮手,因此是“请/邀请”朋友。asked“请/邀请”符合语义。forced“强迫”,allowed“允许”,refused“拒绝”,均不符合。
16.句意:海报解释了每年有多少食物被浪费以及世界上有多少人在挨饿。
海报的内容是传达信息,因此用“解释/说明”。explained“解释”符合语义。forgot“忘记”,denied“否认”,reported“报道”,均不符合。
17.句意:学生可以把他们未开封的食物留在那里供其他人取用。
根据“食物分享角”的设定,leave“留下”符合语义。take“拿走”,buy“买”,sell“卖”,均不符合。
18.句意:他们还要求餐厅工作人员提供更小的份量,这样学生就不会拿超过他们能吃的量。
为了减少浪费,应提供“更小的”份量。smaller“更小的”符合语义。larger“更大的”,heavier“更重的”,lighter“更轻的”,均不符合逻辑。
19.句意:起初,没有多少学生参加这个活动。
根据上下文,起初很少学生参加,took part in“参加”符合语义。paid attention to“注意”,looked forward to“期待”,took care of“照顾”,均不符合。
20.句意:他们利用午餐时间发表简短演讲,并鼓励学生加入他们。
根据语境,发表演讲的目的是鼓励学生加入,encouraged“鼓励”符合语境。forced“强迫”,ordered“命令”,allowed“允许”,均不符合。
21.句意:慢慢地,越来越多的学生开始吃完他们的食物。
根据“their food”提示,表示“吃完”,减少浪费,finish“完成”符合语义。waste“浪费”,share“分享”,cook“烹饪”,均不符合。
22.句意:仅仅一个月,学校就减少了40%的食物浪费。
上文描述各种措施都是为了减少浪费,因此结果是“减少”。reduced“减少”符合语义。increased“增加”,kept“保持”,stopped“停止”,均不符合。
23.句意:他说Sophie为学校带来了很大的改变。
“make a difference”为固定搭配,意为“有影响/起重要作用”,difference“影响”符合语义。mistake“错误”,decision“决定”,plan“计划”,均不符合语义。
24.句意:食物是一种宝贵的资源。
根据后文“We should not waste it”及语境,“resource”资源符合语义。energy“能量”,product“产品”,material“材料”,均不如“resource”贴切。
25.句意:如果每个人都尽自己的一份力,我们可以帮助数百万人免于挨饿。
根据语境,帮助人们免于挨饿,“save...from...”为固定搭配,意为“拯救……免于……”,save“拯救”符合语义。help“帮助”,protect“保护”,prevent“阻止”,与“from going hungry”搭配不如“save”常见且贴切。

Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity. I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.

In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a huge volcano erupted (火山喷发) in the south of Italy. Within one day, it covered the whole city of Pompeii (庞贝古城). It destroyed the houses and killed thousands of people immediately. Last summer, my dad and I visited Pompeii. Dad said it would be good research for my history project about the ancient Romans (古罗马人). That’s why we decided to visit. At first, I felt bored. But when we got there, I was really amazed at this view.
The city looks just like it did in ancient Roman times. There are houses and shops. The ash covered people, animals, and objects, turning them to stone. Everything looks exactly the same as it did when the ash hit. You can also see normal objects that they used every day, like bread, bottles, and cooking utensils (厨房用具). These things show us how people lived long ago. I was surprised that their lives were so similar to ours.
I was amazed at the stone figures of the people, but later I felt very sad for these people. They were doing normal things when the disaster happened. Those people must have felt so scared at that time.

D
When I was in Grade 8, I joined the school’s etiquette club. At that time, I didn’t know much about etiquette, and I just joined it because my best friend was in it. But the one-year club experience changed my life completely, and taught me the importance of good manners.
At the first meeting of the club, our teacher told us that etiquette is not just a set of empty rules, but a way to show respect and kindness to others. It can help us get along well with others, and make our life more pleasant. At that time, I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but as I took part in more activities, I began to understand it.
In the club, we learned many different kinds of etiquette. We learned public etiquette, table manners, greeting etiquette, cross-cultural etiquette and so on. We learned how to greet people politely, how to behave in public places, how to set the table properly, and how to talk with others in a proper way. We also had many practice activities. We had a formal dinner to practice table manners, and we went to the community to teach people about good manners.
The most unforgettable experience for me was the etiquette competition. We took part in the city’s middle school etiquette competition, and we had to give a performance about good manners in public places. We practiced for nearly two months after school every day. We practiced every move, every word, and every expression again and again. At last, we won the first prize in the competition. I felt so proud and happy.
But the most important thing I got from the club was not the prize, but the change in myself. Before I joined the club, I was a careless girl. I often talked loudly in public places, cut in line, and forgot to say “thank you” and “please”. But after joining the club, I began to pay attention to my manners. I learned to wait in line patiently, keep quiet in public places, and be polite to everyone around me.
My friends and family were surprised by my change. My parents said that I had become more polite and thoughtful. My teachers said that I had become more confident and popular at school. I also found that it was easier for me to get along well with others, and I made more new friends.
Now, I have left the etiquette club, but the good manners I learned have become a part of my life. I will always remember that good manners can make the world a better place. I will keep practicing good manners, and tell more people about the importance of etiquette.
37.Why did the writer join the etiquette club at first?
A.Because she was very interested in etiquette.
B.Because her best friend was in the club.
C.Because her teacher asked her to join it.
D.Because she wanted to take part in the competition.
38.What did the writer learn in the etiquette club?
A.Different kinds of etiquette and how to be polite.
B.How to win the etiquette competition.
C.How to teach people about good manners in the community.
D.How to give a performance in the competition.
39.What does the underlined sentence “etiquette is not just a set of empty rules” mean?
A.Etiquette is useless and has no meaning.
B.Etiquette is just a set of rules that we need to follow.
C.Etiquette is more than rules, it shows respect and kindness to others.
D.Etiquette is very difficult for people to learn.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer didn’t change at all after joining the club.
B.The writer won the second prize in the city’s etiquette competition.
C.The writer’s friends and family were surprised by her change.
D.The writer thought the club experience was useless and boring.
【答案】37.B 38.A 39.C 40.C
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在八年级时加入学校礼仪俱乐部的经历。
37.第一段中的“At that time, I didn’t know much about etiquette, and I just joined it because my best friend was in it.”明确指出,作者最初加入俱乐部的直接原因是“她的好朋友在那里”。
38.第三段的首句总述“we learned many different kinds of etiquette”,随后进一步说明“We learned how to greet people politely, how to behave in public places…”,即学习如何表现得有礼貌。因此,选项A全面概括了所学核心。
39.划线句中“not just…but…”的结构清晰地表明“礼仪超越空洞的规则,其本质是表达尊重和友善的一种方式”。
40.倒数第二段中的“My friends and family were surprised by my change.” 直接说明“她的改变让亲友感到惊讶”。

Last year, I got to know a group of autistic (患自闭症的) children. We called them “the Snails”. It was h 48 to communicate with them at first, because they wouldn’t like to. A 49 a two-week training, I became more skilled and got close to them day by day. I also got lots of pleasure when playing with them. What’s more, I f 50 that every one of “the Snails” had his or her own talent. And their c 51 pictures on the wall caught my special attention, although it was difficult to tell what they were trying to e 52 .
D 53 moved by their pictures, I decided to hold a charity sale. We walked on the busy street, selling their creative pictures. Sixty pictures were sold that day. People thought their pictures were f 54 of imagination.
Back to the question about how to become a better person, I think I’m lucky e 55 to get my own answer.

【详解】56.句意:请一上车就系好你的安全带。此处需要一个名词,在句中作“put on”的宾语。因为空后提到“as soon as you get in the car”,结合生活常识,这里表示“系好你的安全带”,所以选择seat belt表示“安全带”。
57.句意:他上周患了重感冒,不得不在床上躺了三天。此处需要一个动词短语作谓语。因为空后提到“a bad cold”,结合语境表示“患上重感冒”,且时间状语“last week”提示应用一般过去时,所以选择suffer from变为suffered from表示“患上/遭受”。
58.句意:——昨天开会时你为什么没见到莉萨?——她因为突然生病缺席了会议。此处需要一个形容词短语作谓语。根据问句“Why didn’t you see Lisa at the meeting yesterday?”可知,Lisa昨天没有出席会议,结合空后的“because of a sudden illness”表示“因突发疾病缺席”,且“yesterday”提示应用一般过去时,主语“She”为单数,所以选择be absent from变为was absent from表示“缺席”。
59.句意:这个女孩非常高兴,因为她有机会向世界展示她的自信和技能。此处需要一个名词,在句中与“skills”并列作“show”的宾语。因为空前有形容词性物主代词“her”,且此处与名词“skills”并列,应使用其名词形式,所以选择confident变为confidence表示“自信”。
60.句意:当公交车来的时候,孩子们迫不及待地要上车。此处需要一个动词不定式。因为空后为“the bus”,固定搭配can’t/couldn’t wait to do sth.“迫不及待做某事”,所以选择get on变为to get on表示“上车”。
61.句意:——我想每个人长途散步后都想喝一杯咖啡。——确实如此。此处需要一个动词短语作谓语。因为空后为动名词“having”,固定搭配feel like doing sth.“想要做某事”,主语“everyone”为单数不定代词,所以选择feel like变为feels like表示“想要”。
62.句意:这个慈善组织为有需要的家庭提供食物和衣服。此处需要一个介词短语作后置定语修饰名词“families”。因为慈善机构为“处于困境中/贫困的”家庭提供食物和衣服,所以选择in need表示“在困难中/需要帮助”。
63.句意:在你开始工作之前,有必要确保一切顺利进行。此处需要一个副词作状语修饰动词“runs”。因为修饰动词表示“一切运转顺利/平稳”,需要使用副词形式,所以选择smooth变为smoothly表示“顺利地/平稳地”。
64.句意:运动员们永不放弃的精神感动了我们所有人。我们应该向他们学习。此处需要一个动名词作介词宾语。因为空前有介词“of”,后接动词时应用动名词形式,且这里表示“永不放弃的精神”,所以选择give up变为giving up表示“放弃”。
65.句意:一班的学生在他们的业余时间里进行了大量阅读。此处需要一个介词短语作状语。因为这里表示“在他们的业余时间做了大量阅读”,且主语“The students”为复数人称,需将“one’s”转换为对应的复数物主代词“their”,所以选择in one’s spare time变为in their spare time表示“在某人的业余时间”。

In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a huge volcano erupted (火山喷发) in the south of Italy. Within one day, it covered the whole city of Pompeii (庞贝古城). It destroyed the houses and killed thousands of people immediately. Last summer, my dad and I visited Pompeii. Dad said it would be good research for my history project about the ancient Romans (古罗马人). That’s why we decided to visit. At first, I felt bored. But when we got there, I was really amazed at this view.
The city looks just like it did in ancient Roman times. There are houses and shops. The ash covered people, animals, and objects, turning them to stone. Everything looks exactly the same as it did when the ash hit. You can also see normal objects that they used every day, like bread, bottles, and cooking utensils (厨房用具). These things show us how people lived long ago. I was surprised that their lives were so similar to ours.
I was amazed at the stone figures of the people, but later I felt very sad for these people. They were doing normal things when the disaster happened. Those people must have felt so scared at that time.

When I was in Grade 8, I joined the school’s etiquette club. At that time, I didn’t know much about etiquette, and I just joined it because my best friend was in it. But the one-year club experience changed my life completely, and taught me the importance of good manners.
At the first meeting of the club, our teacher told us that etiquette is not just a set of empty rules, but a way to show respect and kindness to others. It can help us get along well with others, and make our life more pleasant. At that time, I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but as I took part in more activities, I began to understand it.
In the club, we learned many different kinds of etiquette. We learned public etiquette, table manners, greeting etiquette, cross-cultural etiquette and so on. We learned how to greet people politely, how to behave in public places, how to set the table properly, and how to talk with others in a proper way. We also had many practice activities. We had a formal dinner to practice table manners, and we went to the community to teach people about good manners.
The most unforgettable experience for me was the etiquette competition. We took part in the city’s middle school etiquette competition, and we had to give a performance about good manners in public places. We practiced for nearly two months after school every day. We practiced every move, every word, and every expression again and again. At last, we won the first prize in the competition. I felt so proud and happy.
But the most important thing I got from the club was not the prize, but the change in myself. Before I joined the club, I was a careless girl. I often talked loudly in public places, cut in line, and forgot to say “thank you” and “please”. But after joining the club, I began to pay attention to my manners. I learned to wait in line patiently, keep quiet in public places, and be polite to everyone around me.
My friends and family were surprised by my change. My parents said that I had become more polite and thoughtful. My teachers said that I had become more confident and popular at school. I also found that it was easier for me to get along well with others, and I made more new friends.
Now, I have left the etiquette club, but the good manners I learned have become a part of my life. I will always remember that good manners can make the world a better place. I will keep practicing good manners, and tell more people about the importance of etiquette.
37.Why did the writer join the etiquette club at first?
A.Because she was very interested in etiquette.
B.Because her best friend was in the club.
C.Because her teacher asked her to join it.
D.Because she wanted to take part in the competition.
38.What did the writer learn in the etiquette club?
A.Different kinds of etiquette and how to be polite.
B.How to win the etiquette competition.
C.How to teach people about good manners in the community.
D.How to give a performance in the competition.
39.What does the underlined sentence “etiquette is not just a set of empty rules” mean?
A.Etiquette is useless and has no meaning.
B.Etiquette is just a set of rules that we need to follow.
C.Etiquette is more than rules, it shows respect and kindness to others.
D.Etiquette is very difficult for people to learn.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer didn’t change at all after joining the club.
B.The writer won the second prize in the city’s etiquette competition.
C.The writer’s friends and family were surprised by her change.
D.The writer thought the club experience was useless and boring.
