B　考点：现在完成时中副词yet的用法。解析：yet用于疑问句和否定句中，表示“还，尚”。句意为“你作业还没写完吗？”答语“Not yet”也提示了这一点。already用于肯定句，just意为“刚刚”，ever意为“曾经”，均不符合语境。 2. C　考点：描述外貌的固定搭配。解析：of medium height是固定短语，意为“中等身高”。tall、high、short均不能与of medium构成此搭配。注意high通常描述物体高度，不用于描述人的身高。 3. A　考点：-ed形容词与-ing形容词的区别。解析：excited意为“感到兴奋的”，用于描述人的感受；exciting意为“令人兴奋的”，用于描述事物。此处主语是you（人），应用excited。interested/interesting同理，但语义不符。 4. D　考点：used to do sth.结构。解析：used to后接动词原形，表示“过去常常做某事”。句意为“我姐姐过去常常担心她的体重，但现在她很自信”。 5. A　考点：让步状语从句连词。解析：Although意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句。句意为“虽然他只有十岁，但他能很好地照顾自己”。Because表原因，Until表时间，Since表原因或时间，均不符合逻辑关系。 6. C　考点：动词词义辨析。解析：accept意为“接受”。句意为“你应该学会接受自己”。change意为“改变”，hide意为“隐藏”，doubt意为“怀疑”，均不符合语境。 7. D　考点：动词短语辨析。解析：stick to意为“坚持”。句意为“苏炳添的故事告诉我们，我们应该坚持梦想，永不放弃”。give up意为“放弃”，hold back意为“阻碍”，turn down意为“调低；拒绝”，均不符合句意。 8. A　考点：词形辨析。解析：There is a big difference between...意为“在……之间有很大的差别”。difference是名词，different是形容词，difficult是形容词，difficulty是名词但意为“困难”。此处需要名词且意为“差别”，故选A。 9. B　考点：介词固定搭配。解析：in one's own way意为“以某人自己的方式”。句意为“每个人以自己的方式都是特别的”。 10. C　考点：情景交际。解析：当对方表达对自己的不满时，应给予安慰。Don't worry意为“别担心”，符合语境。That's a good idea用于赞同对方的建议；I agree with you表示同意对方观点，与后文“每个人都很特别”的安慰语境矛盾；You're welcome用于回应感谢。 二、完形填空 11. A　解析：get a lot of attention意为“得到很多关注”。Anna又高又瘦，因此总是得到很多关注。money、trouble、advice均不符合语境。 12. A　解析：copy意为“模仿”。Lily穿同样的衣服、剪同样的发型，显然是在模仿Anna。help、teach、change均不符合语境。 13. D　解析：even worse意为“更糟糕”。上文说“这并没有让她开心”，因此此处应表示“事实上，她感觉更糟了”。 14. C　解析：anyone else意为“其他任何人”。句意为“你为什么想成为其他任何人呢？”nobody、somebody、everyone均不符合语境。 15. B　解析：focus on意为“专注于”。Lily开始关注自己的爱好。give up意为“放弃”，worry about意为“担心”，look after意为“照顾”，均不符合语境。 16. C　解析：be good at意为“擅长”。Lily发现自己真的很擅长画画。weak、bad、poor均表示负面评价，不符合语境。 17. D　解析：make sb do sth意为“让某人做某事”，此处意为“她的画让人们微笑”。sad、angry虽也可作宾语补足语（如make sb sad/angry），但与本句“画让人开心”的积极语境不符；cry意为“哭”，语义不符。故选D。 18. C　解析：already意为“已经”，用于肯定句。句意为“她已经学会了接纳自己”。yet用于否定句和疑问句，never意为“从不”，just意为“刚刚”，均不符合语境。 19. D　解析：be like others意为“像其他人一样”。句意为“我不需要像其他人一样”。anyone、everyone、someone均不符合语境。 20. B　解析：confident意为“自信的”。Lily从模仿别人到接纳自己，最终成为一个自信的女孩。shy、quiet、serious均不符合语境。 三、阅读理解 21. C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“When I was in Grade 7, I hated my curly hair”可知，作者七年级时讨厌自己的卷发。 22.

C　解析：主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者从讨厌自己的卷发到学会接纳自己的过程，C项“学会接纳自己”最能概括文章主旨。 26. B　解析：细节理解题。根据海报“from May 20th to May 24th”可知，活动持续五天。 27. D　解析：细节理解题。根据表格中5月23日一行“Movie: Inside Out，Room 305”可知，电影在305室放映。 28.
