As a teacher, Mrs Zhu finds ______ important to help and care about every student. A. her B. it C. herself D. that 【答案】B 【解析】句意为“作为一名老师，朱老师发现帮助和关心每一位学生很重要。”“find it + adj. + to do sth.”是固定句型，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语，符合语法结构。其他选项均不能作形式宾语。 2. Learning a foreign language ______ time and effort. There is no short cut. A. requires B. remembers C. repeats D. reminds 【答案】A 【解析】句意为“学习一门外语需要时间和精力。没有捷径可走。”require意为“需要”，符合“学习外语需要投入时间精力”的语境。remember意为“记得”，repeat意为“重复”，remind意为“提醒”，均不符合句意。 3. —Listen! What a beautiful piece of music it is! —I agree with you. It ______ on the erhu. A. plays B. is playing C. played D. is played 【答案】D 【解析】句意为“——听！多么美妙的音乐啊！——我同意。这是用二胡演奏的。”it指代music，和play是被动关系，要用被动语态；结合listen的语境，用一般现在时的被动语态is played。A、B是主动语态，C是一般过去时主动，均不符合语态和时态要求。 4. If you're learning a new language, it's helpful to read articles on ______ topics first. A. strange B. perfect C. familiar D. personal 【答案】C 【解析】句意为“如果你正在学习一门新语言，先读你熟悉话题的文章会有帮助。”familiar意为“熟悉的”，符合“初学语言从熟悉话题入手”的逻辑。strange意为“陌生的”，perfect意为“完美的”，personal意为“个人的”，均不符合语境。 5.

A. when B. until C. since D. after 【答案】C 【解析】句意为“——妈妈，我今天下午可以和杰克一起出去玩吗？——不行，因为你的作业还没写完。”since意为“因为”，引导原因状语从句，说明不能出去玩的原因，符合逻辑。when意为“当……时”，until意为“直到”，after意为“在……之后”，均不符合前后因果关系。 7. The scientist finished his experiment and went on ______ the report. A. finished B. finishing C. to finish D. finish 【答案】C 【解析】句意为“这位科学家完成了实验，接着继续写报告。”go on to do sth.意为“做完一件事后继续做另一件事”，实验和报告是两件不同的事，符合语境。go on doing sth.意为“继续做同一件事”，此处是不同的事，因此用不定式。 8. ______ you listen more than you speak, you will never truly understand others. A. As B. Since C. While D. Unless 【答案】D 【解析】句意为“除非你多听少说，否则你永远不会真正理解他人。”unless意为“除非，如果不”，引导条件状语从句，相当于if...not，符合句意逻辑。as意为“因为；当……时”，since意为“自从；因为”，while意为“当……时；尽管”，均不符合逻辑。 9. —I'm afraid I can't do well in the sports meeting. I may let my classmates down. —______. You don't have to push yourself too hard. A. Don't mention it B. It's a pleasure C. Take it easy D. Take care 【答案】C 【解析】句意为“——我担心我运动会表现不好，可能会让同学们失望。——放轻松。你不必把自己逼得太紧。”Take it easy意为“放轻松，别紧张”，用于安慰对方，符合语境。Don't mention it和It's a pleasure意为“不客气”，用于回应感谢；Take care意为“保重”，均不符合安慰的语境。 10. —Traditional culture can be so much fun! —______! The trip really brings history to life. A. I don't think so B. I'm afraid not C. That's not the case D. I can't agree more 【答案】D 【解析】句意为“——传统文化可以非常有趣！——我完全同意！这次旅行真的让历史鲜活起来了。”I can't agree more意为“我完全同意”，呼应后文对旅行的肯定，表赞同，符合语境。其他三个选项均表示否定，不符合对话逻辑。 四、选词填空 第一篇 选用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空，每词限用一次。 gentle download attend common improve character 1.
