A.tiny B.hearing from C.memory D.talk about E.far from
I know. The van, a 1 house on wheels, is our home. I built it by myself with a bed, cupboards, a kitchen – and plenty of places for a little cat to hide! It might be small, but the whole of Australia is our garden.
Willow enjoys exploring the places she has never visited, but she doesn’t like to go too 2 our van. She loves to sit beside me to enjoy a great view. I post our photos on social media and look forward to 3 people all over the world who are following our adventures.
We are lucky. We always have each other and the whole Australia to see. I will treasure the 4 for a lifetime. If Willow has taught me anything, it is that you don’t need a lot to be happy. A bit of food, shelter and a whole lot of love.
【答案】1.A 2.E 3.B 4.C
【分析】接上文,描述了“我”和猫咪在房车里面旅行。“我”会珍惜这段时光。
【详解】1.句意:这个房车,轮子上的小房子,是我们的家。
此空为形容词作定语,修饰名词house。tiny表示“微小的”。故选A。
2.句意:Willow喜欢探索她从来没到过的地方,但是她不喜欢走的离我们的房车很远。
too修饰形容词或者副词,此空是副词修饰动词go。far from表示“远离”。故选E。
3.句意:我拍了我们的照片放到社交媒体上,期望收到全世界各地正在跟随我们旅行的人的来信。
look forward to表示“期望”,其中to为介词,后接动词ing形式。hear from表示“收到某人的来信”。故选B。
4.句意:我将一辈子珍惜这段时光。
此空是名词作宾语,memory表示“记忆”,前面加the,特指这段记忆。故选C。
A.surprised B.solution C.immediately D.go back E.three and a half
I sold my house and left my job in May 2015. There was one thing that I just could not leave behind: my cat Willow. The 1 was simple. I went on a journey with my best animal friend!
In the past 2 years, we have traveled over 70,000 kilometers around Australia. We have seen forests and beaches together. This year, we spent three months in the desert. I’m happy to 3 to the beautiful beach, but I’m not sure what Willow thinks.
Some people were 4 to find that I was traveling with a cat. Once a backpacker at a campsite even exclaimed (惊叫), “Excuse me, there is a cat trying to get into your van!”
【答案】1.B 2.E 3.D 4.A
【分析】“我”卖了房子,辞了职。但是唯一不舍得丢弃的就是“我”的猫。因此“我”决定跟“我”的猫来一场旅行。

此空为名词作主语,solution表示“解决方法”。根据谓语动词was,可知主语为单数。故选B。
2.句意:在过去的三年半里,我们已经围绕澳大利亚旅行超过7万公里。
根据years为复数可知,此空应该为基数词。three and a half表示“三年半”。故选E。
3.句意:我很高兴回到美丽的海滩,但是我不确定Willow想什么。
此空是不定式作原因状语,因此to后接动词原形。go back表示“回到”。故选D。
4.句意:一些人很惊讶的发现我在和一只猫旅行。
此空是形容词作表语,构成主系表结构。surprised表示“感到惊讶的”。故选A。
二、阅读理解
Do you know how to get cheap airline and train tickets? hotel accommodations (膳宿)?
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with the woman in the next seat—until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.
Here are some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplane tickets.
To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier (信使). In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular price—or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.
Train passes.
If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
Hostels (招待所).
Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations in dormitories for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements. They’re not only cheap($8—$17 a night)but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places—a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like swimming pools.
1.Laura paid much more for the plane ticket because ________.
A.she bought her ticket two months ago B.the woman was sitting in the next seat
C.she didn’t know how to travel for less D.the woman was chatting with her happily
2.________ ways are introduced to travel for less in the material above.
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
3.The underlined word fares in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.the money you pay to travel by plane B.the schedule you make for a holiday
C.the pictures you draw when on a plane D.the plan you make for buying cheap tickets
4.You can get the cheapest plane ticket if you ________.
A.buy it two months ago B.take around trip
C.buy it at the last minute D.work as a courier
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the material?
A.India has the world’s largest rail system.
B.It’s convenient to travel by train in Europe.
C.People over 25 can’t stay in a hostel nowadays.
D.Hostels around the world are often in interesting places.
6.Which of the following might be the best title for the material above?
A.Getting more for less when you travel. B.Meeting interesting people in cheap hostels.
C.A train pass will save you money in Japan. D.Plane ticket from New York to Tokyo is cheap.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.C 6.A
【导语】本文介绍了外出旅行节约钱的方法:购买便宜的机票、使用火车通卡、住旅社。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据“She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.”可知,劳拉花了更多的钱买机票,因为她不知道如何以更低的价格旅行。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据“Cheap airplane tickets.;Train passes.;Hostels (招待所).”可知,文章提到了三种方式。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据“The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457.”可知,这里的fares指的是“票价”。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据根据原文中 Cheap airplane tickets 一段:“The cheapest way to fly is as a courier (信使). In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular price...”“飞行最便宜的方式是当信使,因为你帮快递公司送包裹,就能以原价四分之一的价格买到机票。”可知,如果当信使,能买到最便宜的机票。故选D。
5.细节理解题。根据“Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations-in dormitories-for people under the age of 25.”可知,旅馆过去为25岁以下的人提供廉价的宿舍。故选C。
6.最佳标题题。根据“Here are some ways to travel for less:”及短文的介绍可知,本文介绍了外出旅行时节约钱的方法。因此选项A“旅行时花更少的钱获得更多”可以作为标题。故选A。

To: bellawong@mail.com
Date: Saturday, 18 April, 11:15AM
Subject: ____5____
Dear Bella,
Long time no see. How are you and your three puppies? Do you remember the graduation study tour I told you about? I’ve just returned from Singapore. There’s so much to share!
We spent the first two days at a local school. On Day 1, we had to introduce ourselves in front of everyone. I shook like a leaf. Luckily, everyone encouraged me by clapping and cheering. I made many friends after playing group games. I found that two of my new Singaporean friends love watching music shows just like me!
On Day 2, we had classes with the students. We joined their English, Maths and Science lessons. We learnt about their school life and how it’s different from ours. It was an interesting experience.
We also visited some famous tourist spots. On Day 3, we went to a theme park. Then, we went to Merlion Park. The Merlion has a lion’s head and a fish’s body. I got you a postcard of it! At night, we watched the Supertree music and light show in Gardens by the Bay.
On the last day, we went to a zoo. We saw penguins, giraffes and zebras. I wanted to hear the lions’ roar! Sadly, they were sleeping. Before going to the airport, we visited a hawker centre and had chicken rice. It was delicious!
We should visit Singapore together! Please check when your next holiday is. Bye for now. Let’s keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Jane

【导语】本文是Jane给Bella写的一封邮件,主要分享了自己去新加坡毕业游学的经历,包括在当地学校的学习、参观的景点以及收获,同时邀请Bella一起去新加坡。
【详解】1.邮件中提到Jane在新加坡度过了四天(第一天、第二天、第三天和最后一天),明确讲述了四天的行程。
2.邮件第二段明确写道:“On Day 1, we had to introduce ourselves in front of everyone. I shook like a leaf.”,“shook like a leaf”表明Jane当时很紧张。
3.邮件第四段明确指出:“I got you a postcard of it!”,其中“it”指代前文的鱼尾狮,因此Jane给Bella带了一张鱼尾狮的明信片。
4.邮件第五段明确写道:“I wanted to hear the lions roar! Sadly, they were sleeping.”,由此可知Jane没听到狮子吼叫是因为狮子在睡觉。
5.邮件主要围绕Jane去新加坡的毕业游学经历展开,分享了游学中的所见所闻,因此邮件主题应与新加坡游学相关。

【导语】本文回忆去年暑假的英国之旅,讲述寄宿生活与伦敦游览经历,表明这次旅行提升了英语水平,帮助作者了解异国历史文化,将会永久铭记这段难忘经历。
【详解】1.句意:去年暑假,我十分愉快地短暂游览了英国。时间状语“Last summer holiday”提示句子用一般过去时,have需要使用过去式had。
2.句意:这是一次难忘的经历。此处泛指“一次经历”,是可数名词单数;unforgettable发音以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
3.句意:我从这次旅行中学到了很多。旅行发生在去年,但收获持续到当下,侧重过去动作带来的现在结果,应用现在完成时,结构为“have/has+过去分词”,learn的过去分词为learned/learnt,应填have learned/have learnt。
4.句意:这是我第一次坐飞机出国旅行。固定搭配one’s first time to do sth.表示“某人第一次做某事”,one需要变为序数词first。
5.句意:在飞机上我有点紧张。故事发生在去年暑假,时态为一般过去时,get使用过去式got。
6.句意:我不擅长英语。固定短语be good at表示“擅长……”,应填at。
7.句意:我担心无法顺畅地和别人交流。固定搭配communicate with others表示“和他人交流”,应填with。
8.句意:因为我将要和寄宿家庭一起住两周。two后接可数名词复数,week的复数形式为weeks。
9.句意:我的担忧烟消云散,因为我的寄宿家庭十分友善、亲切。lovely与kind是并列形容词,用并列连词and连接。
10.句意:他们总是热情地对待我。修饰动词treated需要使用副词,warm副词形式为warmly。
11.句意:寄宿家庭的善意让我明白,文化差异无法阻隔友谊。动词taught后接人称代词宾格作宾语,I的宾格是me。
12.句意:游览伦敦期间,我去到了城市中心区域。修饰名词part需要形容词,centre的形容词形式为central。

A.tiny B.hearing from C.memory D.talk about E.far from
I know. The van, a 1 house on wheels, is our home. I built it by myself with a bed, cupboards, a kitchen – and plenty of places for a little cat to hide! It might be small, but the whole of Australia is our garden.
Willow enjoys exploring the places she has never visited, but she doesn’t like to go too 2 our van. She loves to sit beside me to enjoy a great view. I post our photos on social media and look forward to 3 people all over the world who are following our adventures.
We are lucky. We always have each other and the whole Australia to see. I will treasure the 4 for a lifetime. If Willow has taught me anything, it is that you don’t need a lot to be happy. A bit of food, shelter and a whole lot of love.
A.surprised B.solution C.immediately D.go back E.three and a half
I sold my house and left my job in May 2015. There was one thing that I just could not leave behind: my cat Willow. The 1 was simple. I went on a journey with my best animal friend!
In the past 2 years, we have traveled over 70,000 kilometers around Australia. We have seen forests and beaches together. This year, we spent three months in the desert. I’m happy to 3 to the beautiful beach, but I’m not sure what Willow thinks.
Some people were 4 to find that I was traveling with a cat. Once a backpacker at a campsite even exclaimed (惊叫), “Excuse me, there is a cat trying to get into your van!”
二、阅读理解
Do you know how to get cheap airline and train tickets? hotel accommodations (膳宿)?
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with the woman in the next seat—until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.
Here are some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplane tickets.
To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier (信使). In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular price—or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.
Train passes.
If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
Hostels (招待所).
Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations in dormitories for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements. They’re not only cheap($8—$17 a night)but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places—a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like swimming pools.
1.Laura paid much more for the plane ticket because ________.
A.she bought her ticket two months ago B.the woman was sitting in the next seat

3.The underlined word fares in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.the money you pay to travel by plane B.the schedule you make for a holiday
C.the pictures you draw when on a plane D.the plan you make for buying cheap tickets
4.You can get the cheapest plane ticket if you ________.
A.buy it two months ago B.take around trip
C.buy it at the last minute D.work as a courier
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the material?

B.It’s convenient to travel by train in Europe.

Dear Bella,
Long time no see. How are you and your three puppies? Do you remember the graduation study tour I told you about? I’ve just returned from Singapore. There’s so much to share!
We spent the first two days at a local school. On Day 1, we had to introduce ourselves in front of everyone. I shook like a leaf. Luckily, everyone encouraged me by clapping and cheering. I made many friends after playing group games. I found that two of my new Singaporean friends love watching music shows just like me!
On Day 2, we had classes with the students. We joined their English, Maths and Science lessons. We learnt about their school life and how it’s different from ours. It was an interesting experience.
We also visited some famous tourist spots. On Day 3, we went to a theme park. Then, we went to Merlion Park. The Merlion has a lion’s head and a fish’s body. I got you a postcard of it! At night, we watched the Supertree music and light show in Gardens by the Bay.
On the last day, we went to a zoo. We saw penguins, giraffes and zebras. I wanted to hear the lions’ roar! Sadly, they were sleeping. Before going to the airport, we visited a hawker centre and had chicken rice. It was delicious!
We should visit Singapore together! Please check when your next holiday is. Bye for now. Let’s keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Jane
