【答案】
Taylor Swift (1989-), one of the best known American singers and composers, was born in Pennsylvania, who is my favourite singer. She is not only beautiful but also very talented. When she was 16, she had her first album. She writes songs about her romantic life. Every time I listen to her songs, I feel calm and energetic. She is often so excited that she is deeply loved by her fans at home and abroad. Although she is only about 30 years old, she has already won quantities of awards. She is my idol. I wish I can go to see her concert one day.
七、读后续写
【答案】
On the day of the tryout, Brodie took out his father’s precious violin and played. His fingers trembled at first, but the moment the bow touched the strings, muscle memory took over. The melody flowed like a gentle stream, then soared like a bird breaking free from a cage. He closed his eyes, picturing Mack’s encouraging nod and the peaceful nights in their orange caravan. Every note carried the sorrow of loss and the quiet joy of new beginnings. The room fell silent, students and Miss Samson alike holding their breath. Brodie played not as a shy boy hiding a secret, but as a true musician, channeling his father’s soul through each graceful movement of the bow.
The talent scout stood up excitedly and praised him greatly. “Extraordinary! Where did you learn to play like that?” he asked, eyes wide with disbelief. Brodie, cheeks flushed, whispered, “My father taught me. He was a violinist too.” The scout immediately offered him the role in Mr. Spy, promising good pay and a real stage. That evening, Brodie rushed home and hugged Mack tightly. “We did it, Dad,” he said, tears streaming down. For the first time in years, Mack smiled — a real, hopeful smile. They might still live in a run-down caravan, but music had given them brand-new future.

3.The team has been training hard in for the big game.
4.There was a fire in the building, but no one was hurt.

6.They can overcome these difficulties as long as they have enough money.
【答案】
1.sleepy 2.useless 3.preparation 4.thankfully 5.unusual 6.surely
【解析】
1.考查形容词。句意:当他叫醒她时,她仍然又累又困。and连接并列成分,tired是形容词,此空也应是形容词。“sleepy (困倦的)”符合“刚被叫醒,人还很困”的语境。故填sleepy。
2.考查形容词。句意:如果你不会操作,这项技术完全没用。根据is可知,此空应是形容词作表语。“useless (无用的)”符合“不会操作则技术没用”的逻辑。故填useless。
3.考查名词。句意:为了准备这场大型比赛,球队一直在刻苦训练。根据空前in和空后for可知,此空应是名词。in preparation for是固定短语,意为“为……做准备”,符合“为重大比赛努力训练”的语境。故填preparation。
4.考查副词。句意:大楼里发生了火灾,但幸好没人受伤。此空修饰整个句子,应用副词。根据fire和no one was hurt可知,此处是指幸运、值得庆幸。“thankfully (幸好,感激地)”符合“发生火灾但没人受伤,值得庆幸”的语境。故填thankfully。
5.考查形容词。句意:当地居民如果发现任何不寻常的情况,应该联系警方。anything后常接形容词,根据contact the police和notice可知,此处是指注意到异常情况/不对劲的事情应联系警方。“unusual (不寻常的)”符合“发现异常情况要报警”的逻辑。故填unusual。
6.考查副词。句意:只要有足够的钱,他们肯定能克服这些困难。此空修饰动词 overcome,应用副词。“surely (肯定地,无疑地)”符合该句“足够有钱就能克服困难”的肯定语气。故填surely。
三、完成句子
1.On Tomb-Sweeping Day, people go to ________________________ of their ancestors to show respect and remember the deceased.
清明节,人们去给祖先扫墓,表达敬意和怀念。
【答案】sweep the tomb
【详解】表示“扫墓”可用常见表达sweep the tomb;句中“go to do sth.”表示“去做某事”,to为不定式符号,后接动词原形。
2.遇到这样的情况觉得生气是很正常的。 (双重否定表示肯定)
________ ________ ________ ________ to feel very angry in a situation like this.
【答案】It is not unusual
【详解】考查固定句型和双重否定。表达“做某事是……的”用it is+adj.+to do,“正常的”用双重否定表达为not unusual。故填It;is;not;unusual。
3.他们用手托着下巴,正在盯着窗外或天花板。
________ their chins on their hands, they ________ out of the window or up at the ceiling.
【答案】With occupy themselves by staring
【详解】考查介词和时态。陈述客观事实,为一般现在时。“他们用手托着下巴”可以用“with复合结构”表示,翻译为with their chins on their hands,所以第一个空格处用介词with。“(他们)正在……”可以用固定搭配occupy themselves by doing sth表示,主语是they,谓语动词用复数形式;“盯着”用动词stare,在介词by后作宾语,用动名词形式staring。故填With;occupy themselves by staring。
4.他接受批评,期望自己的产品能经受得住检验。
He endured criticism and was in the ________________ that his new product could ________________.
【答案】expectation bear the test
【详解】考查名词和动词短语。第一空,用于介词in之后,表示“期望”应用名词expectation,作宾语;第二空表示“经受得住检验”短语为bear the test,且could后跟动词原形。故填①expectation;②bear the test。
5.我花了两年时间才好起来,在此期间他照顾我,并承担全部的家务。
_______________, during which time he looked after me and did absolutely everything around the house.
【答案】It took two years for me to get better
【详解】考查时态和固定句型。中英文对比可知缺少“我花了两年时间才好起来”;可用句型it takes+时间+for sb to do sth,所以“我花了两年时间做某事”用it takes two years for me to do,“好起来”译为get better,放在动词不定式符号to后用动词原形,根据定语从句中的looked可知,句子描述过去的事,时态用一般过去时,位于句首首字母大写,故答案为It took two years for me to get better。
6.我把音量调大,站起来盯着收音机,屏住呼吸,等待这首歌开始的音符。
I turned up the volume and stood staring at the radio, _______________________ .
【答案】holding my breath and waiting for the first notes of the song
【详解】考查现在分词作状语、动词短语和名词。“屏住呼吸”可译为:hold one’s breath,one’s在句子中使用my。“等待”可译为:wait for,“这首歌开始的音符”可译为:the first notes of the song,名词note用复数,分析句子结构可知,“屏住呼吸”和“等待”该部分使用分词作状语,hold和wait与其逻辑主语I之间为主动关系,因此使用hold和wait的现在分词作状语,故填holding my breath and waiting for the first notes of the song。
四、所给词的适当形式填空
1.When they reached the top of the hill, they were all out of (breathe).
【答案】breath
【详解】句意:当他们到达山顶时,他们都喘不过气来了。本空作介词of的宾语,用名词breath。out of breath意为“喘不过气,上气不接下气”。
2.Johnsy lay, barely moving, in her bed (stare) at a blank wall under her blanket.
【答案】staring
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:Johnsy躺在床上,盖着毯子,几乎一动不动,盯着一面空白的墙。空处是非谓语动词,作伴随状语,Johnsy和stare之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词staring表主动。故填staring。
3.Don’t the problem — it’s already enough. (complicate)
【答案】complicate complicated
【详解】考查动词和形容词的用法。句意:不要使问题复杂化——它已经足够复杂了。空格处需要填入一个动词原形,用于构成祈使句的否定形式,表示“不要使复杂化”,因此第一个空填动词原形complicate。第二个空格处需要一个形容词作表语,complicate的形容词是complicated意为“复杂的”。故填①complicate②complicated。
4.It is the first time that I have got an A, which is beyond my head teacher’s (expect).
【答案】expectation
【详解】考查名词。句意:这是我第一次得 A,这超出了我班主任的预料。空白处在句子中作宾语,此处应填名词形式。expect 是动词,意为“期望;预料”,其名词形式是 expectation,“beyond one’s expectation”是固定短语,意为“超出某人的预料”。故填expectation。
5. (accompany) by their family members, the old tend to live longer and happier.
【答案】Accompanied
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:有家人陪伴的老人往往活得更久、更快乐。空处需要非谓语动词作状语,accompany和其逻辑主语the old之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词作状语。该词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Accompanied。
6.I’m upset (hear) that the teenager hasn’t recovered from the operation.
【答案】to hear
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:听说这个少年还没有从手术中恢复过来,我很难过。be upset to do sth.表示“因做某事而感到难过”,符合题意,所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to hear。
五、语法填空
I have loved 1 (watch) films since I was a child. 2 (go) to the local cinema with my parents was a pleasant memory. The cinema was old and uncomfortable, but I liked it and always looked forward to 3 (see) a new movie. Now they’ve stopped 4 (show) films there. The owner would like to go on 5 (run) the cinema, but the cinema is so old that it needs 6 (repair), which means 7 (spend) a lot of money.
The last film shown in this cinema was a detective film. It was five minutes from the end when suddenly all the lights went out and the film stopped. 8 (wait) in the darkness made us kind of anxious. Then the owner appeared with a torch. “I regret to tell you,” he said. “The electricity has failed. We’ve tried 9 (phone) the electricity company, but they said they couldn’t help.” Then he explained to the audience how the film ended.
What a funny and disappointing experience! But I don’t regret 10 (have) the chance to witness the last film in this cinema.
【答案】
1.watching 2.Going 3.seeing 4.showing 5.running 6.repairing 7.spending 8.Waiting 9.phoning 10.having
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者从小喜欢看电影,并回忆起与父母一起去本地电影院的美好时光。然而,电影院已经停止放映电影,需要修缮,这将需要耗费大量的金钱。最后一次放映的电影因为停电而未能看完,但作者对能够亲眼见证电影院的最后一部电影而没有遗憾。
【详解】
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:我从小就喜欢看电影。句中love doing为固定结构使用动名词作宾语,意为“喜欢做某事”。故填watching。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:和父母去看当地的电影是一段愉快的回忆。句中was为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,此处使用动名词作主语,表示一般性的行为,同时,该空置于句首,开头单词首字母大写。故答案为Going。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:电影院很旧,不舒服,但我喜欢它,总是期待着看一部新电影。look forward to doing为固定结构,使用动名词作宾语,意为“期待做某事”。故填seeing。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:现在他们已经停止在那里放映电影了。stop doing意为“停止做某事”,使用动名词作宾语。故填showing。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:老板想继续经营电影院,但电影院太旧了,需要维修,这意味着要花钱很多钱。go on doing为固定短语,意为“继续做某事”,使用动名词作宾语。故填running。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。sth need doing为固定结构,表示“需要被……”,故填repairing。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。句中mean doing意为“意味着做某事”,此处使用动名词作宾语。故填spending。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意:在黑暗中等待让我们有点焦虑。句中made为谓语动词,设空处使用动名词作主语。同时,该空置于句首,开头单词首字母大写。故填Waiting。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:停电了。我们试着给电力公司打电话,但他们说他们无能为力。句中try doing为固定短语,意为“尝试做某事”,此处使用动名词作宾语。故填phoning。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:但有机会在这家电影院观看最后一部电影让我没有遗憾。分析句子,句中regret doing sth为固定短语,意为“后悔做某事”,使用动名词作宾语。故填having。

七、读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Brodie and his father, Mack, had struggled greatly ever since his father lost his job. Unable to pay the mortgage (按揭贷款), they were forced to sell their house and live a poor life.
Luckily, they met Martha, a kind artist who offered them an old run-down caravan (大篷车) in her backyard. In return, Mack worked as a gardener to take care of her garden and look after her house. Brodie never told anyone he lived in a caravan. His friends thought he lived with Martha. He had told them she was his aunt and they had moved in to help her for a while.
Mack had once been a famous violin player. He had won competitions and been on television shows. Brodie loved to watch how his father made the bow dance and glide (滑翔) across the strings. However, after his wife’s death Mack seldom touched his violin. But the peaceful new life gradually cheered him up. He started playing again every day. Seeing this, Brodie became eager to learn it too. Mack was glad to teach him, and Brodie turned out to be a fast learner with amazing talent. He could play almost as well as his father in a short time.
One day, Brodie’s teacher Miss Samson asked if anyone could play a musical instrument. “I especially need someone who can play the violin,” she said. Brodie kept quiet; he didn’t want anyone to know that he could play the violin. But his friend Cam said, “Brodie has a violin and he can play it too.” Brodie slid down in his seat. There was no way he would be good enough to play for an audience. He wasn’t going to make a fool of himself.
Miss Samson explained that a talent scout (星探) was coming to school. He was looking for someone to play in the musical Mr. Spy. He needed a violinist, a drummer and a guitarist. “Bring your instruments tomorrow for a trial run,” she said. “And oh, if you are selected, the pay is good!”
Paragraph one:
On the day of the tryout, Brodie took out his father’s precious violin and played.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
The talent scout stood up excitedly and praised him greatly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the day of the tryout, Brodie took out his father’s precious violin and played. His fingers trembled at first, but the moment the bow touched the strings, muscle memory took over. The melody flowed like a gentle stream, then soared like a bird breaking free from a cage. He closed his eyes, picturing Mack’s encouraging nod and the peaceful nights in their orange caravan.

That evening, Brodie rushed home and hugged Mack tightly. “We did it, Dad,” he said, tears streaming down. For the first time in years, Mack smiled — a real, hopeful smile. They might still live in a run-down caravan, but music had given them brand-new future.
