My classmates were outgoing and talented, and I often compared   1  with them. One day our teacher asked us to finish a project   2  “Who Am I”. We needed to write down our strengths and weaknesses. At first, I could hardly think  3  any advantages of myself. I thought I was good at nothing. My deskmate Lily noticed my trouble. She told me, “Everyone is special. You are good at listening and you always help others. These are your shining points.” Her words  4  me a lot. I started to think about my real personalities. I  5  enjoy reading books in my free time. When my classmates met problems in reading, I was ready  6  them out. Slowly, I found my value. I didn’t need to be exactly like others.  7  I am not outgoing, I still have my own shining sides. Later I shared my project in front of the whole class. My heart beat fast and I spoke  8  . But when I finished, all my classmates clapped for me. That moment I understood self‑acceptance really  9 . We don’t have to be perfect. It is OK just to be  10 . 1．A．me B．myself C．my D．mine 2．A．called B．call C．calling D．to call 3．A．to B．for C．of D．about 4．A．encourage B．encouraged C．will encourage D．is encouraging 5．A．real B．really C．true D．truth 6．A．help B．helping C．to help D．helped 7．A．Although B．Because C．If D．So 8．A．nervous B．nervously C．nerve D．nervousness 9．A．matter B．matters C．mattered D．will matter 10．A．we B．our C．ours D．ourselves 02 Like Sally in the story, many people worry too much about their looks. They are not happy because they 1 they are not good-looking. 2 , true beauty is much more than what we see in the mirror. Firstly, we are all 3 . A birthmark or different appearance isn’t a “disaster”; it can be a “red rose”, as Maddie said. If we only 4 our appearance, we might lose our confidence and miss the 5 to show what we are good at. As the saying goes, “Beauty is only skin deep.” This tells us that what we are like inside is more important than how we look. Secondly, 6 comes from hard work and wisdom, not from having a perfect face. Take Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba, for example. He is not a traditionally 7 man, and he was turned down for many jobs because of his appearance. However, he never gave up. He believes that our 8 do not decide our future, and that our dreams and hearts are much more important. Today, he is one of the world’s most successful people 9 he is smart and hard-working. I think Sally is right to think “I am what I am”. We should learn to 10 ourselves and be confident. We should spend more time making ourselves better instead of worrying about our looks. 1．A．wonder B．think C．suppose D．believe 2．A．still B．instead C．Luckily D．However 3．A．social B．real C．different D．poor 4．A．care about B．fight with C．set up D．throw away 5．A．survey B．review C．chance D．opinion 6．A．line B．job C．success D．note 7．A．plastic B．medical C．handsome D．golden 8．A．looks B．decisions C．clothes D．finals 9．A．if B．until C．although D．because 10．A．change B．hide C．accept D．touch 03 I used to be a very shy girl.

She said, “Believe in yourself. You are 2 than you think.” She helped me prepare the speech. Every day after school, I practiced in front of the mirror. 3 , the day came. I stood on the stage. My heart beat fast. I looked at my teacher and she smiled at me. I started to speak. To my surprise, I did a good job. Everyone 4 . From then on, I became more confident.

When I was a young girl, I was quite shy. Every time I talked with others, I was 1 to look into their eyes. What was worse, I stammered (口吃) when I spoke. “Sana, why don’t you read this paragraph for us?” asked Miss Meng, my English teacher, one day. Hesitantly (犹豫地), I stood up to read the paragraph. However, I just stood there, 2 to speak a word. The classmates started laughing. “Sana,” said Miss Meng, “sit down!” 1 terribly awkward (尴尬的), I sat down and Miss Meng asked someone else to read it. After class, I went to the library, planning to practise reading and overcome (克服) my weakness. I walked past some of my classmates who were also sitting there as I went to the bookshelf. I heard them speaking 2 . “What is she doing here?” asked one. “She needs to work hard!” said another. Hearing these, I quickly walked out of the library with a red face. “Sana, right?” a beautiful voice came into my ears. I 1 and my eyes met hers. It was Susan. “You have a beautiful voice. What about practising reading together?” Her warm words cheered me up a lot. I 2 with a smile. From then on, whenever we had time, we would practise reading aloud together.

We used to do everything together — 1 homework, watching movies, and sharing secrets. But last month, something changed. Jenny joined the school dance club and made some new friends. She started 2 me messages less often. Whenever I invited her to hang out, she always said she was busy. I felt 3 and didn’t know what to do. One day, I decided to talk to her. “Jenny, I feel like we’re not as 4 as before,” I said. She looked surprised. “I’m sorry,” she replied. “I didn’t realize you felt that way. I was just 5 to make new friends and didn’t want to lose you.” I realized that I should have told her my 6 earlier instead of keeping them inside. “I guess I was 7 that you might not want to be my friend anymore,” I admitted. Jenny smiled and said, “You’re my best friend. Nothing can change that. Why don’t we 8 something together this weekend?” From this experience, I learned that 9 friends will respect your feelings.

Suddenly, the lights went out, leaving the room completely 1 . “Mum, what’s going on?” Emma called out loudly. “Don’t worry. The lights might come on soon,” Mrs White said 1 to comfort Emma. In a moment, a worker with a flashlight knocked at the door and said, “Excuse me, madam. There is a power cut across the neighbourhood. We have to 2 the building. Please follow me to the exit.” Mrs White and Emma wrapped up (裹紧) warm clothes and walked out. They met their neighbours in the hallway. Everyone was standing outside, talking and laughing about the sudden darkness. Mr Johnson, an old neighbour, was standing at his doorstep. “I can’t stand 1 in my room without heating,” he said, rubbing his hands together. A young neighbour invited everyone to his apartment. “Come in, please. I have some hot tea and snacks,” he said warmly. People shared stories and food. Even though it was cold outside, the atmosphere inside was full of warmth. As they were enjoying the 1 , night fell over the city. The air was cold, but Emma didn’t mind anymore. She had enjoyed a special evening with her neighbours. She smiled to herself and thought, “Getting along with neighbours makes life so much 2 .” From that day on, Emma decided to be more friendly to everyone in the community.

He noticed that all the other trees were so tall and strong. He wanted to grow bigger and stronger 1 . So he decided that he would never share his sunshine with the smaller plants around him. He thought he could grow taller in this way. Soon, the little tree started to grow. But the ground around him was becoming 2 . First, the small flowers under his shade(树荫)withered (枯萎). Then, the grass became yellow as well. The little birds and insects that used to live there flew away. 3 the end, the area around him became a bare (光秃秃的) place. But the little tree did not 4 . However, as time went on, there was no longer any living thing to keep the soil rich. So slowly, he became even 5 than he used to be. The little tree knew he was 6 .

Many great 1 come from people who keep asking “why” and “how”. Easton was a teenager full of curiosity. At a science fair, he 2 Jenny. The girl was born without an arm. Her artificial arm cost so much money that most poor families couldn’t 3 one. What was worse, kids grew fast and they 4 new arms very often. Easton wanted to do something to help. First he made a robotic arm 5 plastic blocks and fishing line. Later he got a 3D printer for his birthday and 6 a better artificial arm. It could move by brain signals, 7 it was too heavy for children. He never gave up and kept improving his design. Years later, his new arm only weighed 0.5 kilograms and cost about $500. He didn’t want to make 8 from his creation. Instead, he put his design online for free. More people could download it and make arms for kids in 9 . His story tells us: curiosity is not enough.

Inventions always play an important role in our life. They make our life more 1 and much easier than before. Recently, a university project has helped two young women 2 a great idea for a difficult problem. Julia and Jessica are students at Harvard University. One day, their teacher said, “I want you to solve a world problem about the energy source (来源). Who can take on this 3 ?” Julia and Jessica wanted to take that challenge. So, they answered, “We decided to accept the difficult task.” Before they began, they first studied many different 4 with few energy sources. They found that children in these countries all like playing 5 , especially soccer. After 6 this observation ( 现象), Julia and Jessica decided to create a new energy source that has something to do with soccer. They spent six months working with their friends to make a soccer ball with a battery (电池) in it. It took them a long time, but it 7 turned out to be a big success. They knew the soccer was exactly 8 they wanted. They named it the SOCCKET and showed it to the users. When the players 9 the ball, the battery inside got the energy from the ball’s movement. After the game, the players used it to make the smart phones 10 .

Everyone was excited because it gave us the 1 to show our creative ideas and learn from each other. I started working on my 2 weeks before the big day. After noticing how often my classmates 3 their pens at school, I made a smart pencil case. Inside, the pencil case has weight sensors (重量传感器). When you lift your schoolbag, the sensors check (检查) if the 4 are empty. If they are, the pencil case will say, “Don’t forget your pens!” The pencil case looks simple, but I think it’s really 5 . On Invention Day, the school hall was full of amazing inventions. My classmates were so creative! For example, Lily made a hand-powered lamp (灯). It lights up 6 you shake it. Tom invented an anti-slip book stand (防滑书立) to hold books in place and keep our desks tidy. I walked around the hall, listening 7 to everyone’s presentations and learning about their ideas. In the end, we voted (投票) for our favourite inventions. Although my pencil case didn’t win an award, I still felt very 8 . I learnt that inventing isn’t something out of reach. It’s just about finding ways to 9 the small problems we face in everyday life. Invention Day was a fantastic experience. I’m already 10 the next one, and I’ll try to create something better next year! 1．A．form B．choice C．chance D．answer 2．A．novel B．research C．invention D．homework 3．A．use B．leave C．lend D．cover 4．A．places B．pages C．lists D．reasons 5．A．funny B．magical C．powerful D．useful 6．A．so B．but C．when D．although 7．A．madly B．carefully C．peacefully D．brightly 8．A．angry B．proud C．bored D．surprised 9．A．fix B．test C．describe D．understand 10．A．taking part in B．keeping away from C．paying attention to D．looking forward to 16 Ryan is a 15-year-old boy from Canada. He was born with a special talent for engineering. When he saw his grandfather 1 to walk because of a leg injury, he decided 2 something to help. “I want 3 a light but strong walking stick for him,” Ryan said. He kept 4 on different materials. At first, he tried 5 wood, but it was too heavy. Then he tried aluminum (铝) and it worked much better. He also added a small flashlight and a seat that could fold out. “My grandfather was blown 6 when he saw the final product. He said it made a big 7 to his daily life,” Ryan said proudly. Ryan posted the design online for 8 . To his surprise, many people downloaded it and sent him thank-you messages. One old man wrote, “Your invention gives me a helping 9 . Now I can go to the park alone.” Ryan said, “I enjoy 10 problems that matter.

They happened by accident. One famous example is the invention of penicillin. Alexander Fleming, a Scottish scientist, was 2 an experiment in his lab. He left some Petri dishes on the table and went on a holiday. When he 3 ， he found that a special kind of mould (霉菌) had killed the bacteria (细菌) in one dish. This unexpected 4 led to the invention of penicillin, which has saved millions of lives. Another example is the Post-it note. Spencer Silver was trying to invent a super-strong glue. 5 ， he created a weak glue that could stick and peel off easily. At first, he thought it was a 6 . But years later, his friend Arthur Fry used this glue to keep his bookmarks in place. That's how the Post-it note was born. These stories tell us that failure doesn't always mean the end. Sometimes, failure can 7 to great success. Inventors are often 8 about the world around them. They are not afraid to 9 risks and try new things. As Albert Einstein once said, "I have no special talents. I am only passionately 10 ." 1．A．in B．on C．at D．for 2．A．doing B．making C．trying D．testing 3．A．returned B．left C．started D．finished 4．A．discovery B．invention C．exploration D．exhibition 5．A．Besides B．Therefore C．Instead D．However 6．A．success B．failure C．joke D．wonder 7．A．take B．lead C．drive D．let 8．A．creative B．imaginative C．curious D．talented 9．A．make B．do C．take D．have 10．A．curious B．creative C．lucky D．brave 18 Elon Musk: A Curious Inventor Elon Musk is a really famous inventor. He has done many 1 things, and his great 2 makes him successful. When Musk was young, he loved 3 science-fiction (科幻小说). He always lost himself in (沉浸于) stories about rockets (火箭), planets, and strange things about space. He asked so many questions 4 space and new technologies (科技). This curiosity still stayed with him 5 he grew up. As an adult, Musk started SpaceX. He was very 6 about space. He dreamed of 7 people to Mars to start a new life there.

I was short and quiet. I seldom spoke in public. My classmates were outgoing and talented, and I often compared   1  with them. One day our teacher asked us to finish a project   2  “Who Am I”. We needed to write down our strengths and weaknesses. At first, I could hardly think  3  any advantages of myself. I thought I was good at nothing. My deskmate Lily noticed my trouble. She told me, “Everyone is special. You are good at listening and you always help others. These are your shining points.” Her words  4  me a lot. I started to think about my real personalities. I  5  enjoy reading books in my free time. When my classmates met problems in reading, I was ready  6  them out. Slowly, I found my value. I didn’t need to be exactly like others.  7  I am not outgoing, I still have my own shining sides. Later I shared my project in front of the whole class. My heart beat fast and I spoke  8  . But when I finished, all my classmates clapped for me. That moment I understood self‑acceptance really  9 . We don’t have to be perfect. It is OK just to be  10 . 1．A．me B．myself C．my D．mine 2．A．called B．call C．calling D．to call 3．A．to B．for C．of D．about 4．A．encourage B．encouraged C．will encourage D．is encouraging 5．A．real B．really C．true D．truth 6．A．help B．helping C．to help D．helped 7．A．Although B．Because C．If D．So 8．A．nervous B．nervously C．nerve D．nervousness 9．A．matter B．matters C．mattered D．will matter 10．A．we B．our C．ours D．ourselves 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．C 10．D 【导语】本文讲述作者曾因自卑苦恼，通过“我是谁”项目作业，在同桌鼓励下发现自身优点，最终学会接纳自我的成长故事。 【详解】 1．句意：我的同学们都外向又多才多艺，我常常拿自己和他们比较。 compare oneself with sb.是固定搭配，意为“把自己和某人作比较”；主语为I，对应的反身代词myself“我自己”符合语法与语境。me是人称代词宾格，my是形容词性物主代词，mine是名词性物主代词，均不能构成该固定表达。 2．句意：有一天，老师让我们完成一个名为“我是谁”的课题。 此处用过去分词called作后置定语修饰project，意为“被叫做……的”，表被动含义，符合语法规则。call为动词原形，calling为现在分词，to call为动词不定式，均不能正确作后置定语表被动。 3．句意：一开始，我几乎想不出自己有任何优点。 think of是固定短语，意为“想到、想起”，契合语境。to、for均无法与think构成表达“想起”的固定搭配，think about侧重思考过程。 4．句意：她的话大大鼓励了我。 故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，encouraged为encourage的过去式，符合时态要求。encourage为原形，will encourage为将来时，is encouraging为现在进行时，时态均不符。 5．句意：我真的很喜欢在空闲时间看书。 此处修饰动词enjoy，要用副词；really“真正地”符合语义与语法。real、true为形容词，truth为名词，均不能修饰动词。 6．句意：当同学们在阅读上遇到困难时，我随时愿意伸出援手。 be ready to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“乐意做某事”；help sb. out意为“帮某人摆脱困境”，to help符合语法规则。help为原形，helping为动名词，helped为过去式，均不符合搭配要求。 7．句意：虽然我不外向，但我也有属于自己的闪光点。 前后分句为让步转折关系，Although“虽然”引导让步状语从句，契合逻辑。Because“因为”表原因，If“如果”表假设，So“所以”表结果，均不符合句间逻辑。 8．句意：我的心跳很快，说话很紧张。 此处修饰动词spoke，要用副词；nervously“紧张地”符合上台分享时的状态。nervous为形容词，nerve为名词，nervousness为名词，均不能修饰动词。 9．句意：那一刻我明白了，自我接纳真的很重要。 主句understood为过去时，从句遵循时态一致原则用过去式mattered“要紧、重要”。matter为原形，matters为第三人称单数形式，will matter为将来时，均不符合语境。 10．句意：做我们自己就很好。 be oneself是固定表达，意为“做自己”；句子逻辑主语为we，对应的反身代词ourselves“我们自己”符合语法与主旨。we为人称代词主格，our为形容词性物主代词，ours为名词性物主代词，均不能构成该表达。 02 Like Sally in the story, many people worry too much about their looks. They are not happy because they 1 they are not good-looking. 2 , true beauty is much more than what we see in the mirror. Firstly, we are all 3 . A birthmark or different appearance isn’t a “disaster”; it can be a “red rose”, as Maddie said. If we only 4 our appearance, we might lose our confidence and miss the 5 to show what we are good at. As the saying goes, “Beauty is only skin deep.” This tells us that what we are like inside is more important than how we look. Secondly, 6 comes from hard work and wisdom, not from having a perfect face. Take Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba, for example. He is not a traditionally 7 man, and he was turned down for many jobs because of his appearance. However, he never gave up. He believes that our 8 do not decide our future, and that our dreams and hearts are much more important. Today, he is one of the world’s most successful people 9 he is smart and hard-working. I think Sally is right to think “I am what I am”. We should learn to 10 ourselves and be confident. We should spend more time making ourselves better instead of worrying about our looks. 1．A．wonder B．think C．suppose D．believe 2．A．still B．instead C．Luckily D．However 3．A．social B．real C．different D．poor 4．A．care about B．fight with C．set up D．throw away 5．A．survey B．review C．chance D．opinion 6．A．line B．job C．success D．note 7．A．plastic B．medical C．handsome D．golden 8．A．looks B．decisions C．clothes D．finals 9．A．if B．until C．although D．because 10．A．change B．hide C．accept D．touch 【答案】 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．C 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文通过Sally和马云的故事，告诉我们不要过分在意容貌，成功源于努力和智慧，要学会接纳自我，保持自信。 【详解】 1．句意：他们不开心是因为他们认为自己不好看。 根据“They are not happy”及语境，此处指人们对自己外貌的主观看法，“think认为”最符合日常表达习惯。“believe相信”语气过重，“wonder想知道”和“suppose假设”不符句意。 2．句意：然而，真正的美远不止镜中所见。 根据前句人们担心外貌，后句说真正的美不仅于此，前后构成转折关系，“However然而”符合逻辑。“still仍然”表持续，“instead代替；Luckily幸运地”均不符合语境。 3．句意：首先，我们都是不同的。 根据后文“A birthmark or different appearance”，可知此处强调每个人的独特性，“different不同的”符合语境。“social社会的；real真实的；poor贫穷的”均与上下文无关。 4．句意：如果我们只在意外貌，可能会失去自信，错过展示我们所擅长事物的机会。 根据前文“worry too much about their looks”，可知此处指如果我们只在意外貌，可能会失去自信，“care about在意”，符合语境。“fight with与……打架；set up建立；throw away扔掉”意思不通。 5．句意：如果我们只在意外貌，可能会失去自信，错过展示我们所擅长事物的机会。 根据“miss the...”及后文“show what we are good at”，可知是指错过机会，“chance机会”符合搭配。“survey调查；review复习；opinion观点”不符句意。 6．句意：其次，成功源于努力和智慧，而非完美的脸庞。 根据后文列举马云成为成功人士的例子，此处指成功，“success成功”符合语境。“line线；job工作；note笔记”无法概括下文内容。 7．句意：他不是传统意义上的英俊男人，由于外貌，他曾被许多工作拒绝。 根据“turned down for many jobs because of his appearance”，可知此处指他并非传统意义上的英俊男性，“handsome英俊的”用于形容男性外貌。“plastic塑料的；medical医疗的；golden金色的”均不符。 8．句意：他相信外貌不能决定我们的未来，而我们的梦想和内心才更为重要。 根据全文主题及前文“because of his appearance”，此处指外貌，“looks外貌”符合语境。“decisions决定；clothes衣服；finals决赛”与主旨无关。 9．句意：今天，他是世界上最成功的人之一，因为他聪明且努力。 根据“successful people”与“smart and hard-working”之间是因果关系，解释成功的原因，“because因为”符合逻辑。“if如果；until直到；although虽然”不符。 10．句意：我们应该学会接受自己并保持自信。 根据前文“I am what I am”及文章主旨自我接纳，“accept接受”符合语境。“change改变；hide隐藏；touch触摸”均与主旨相悖。 03 I used to be a very shy girl. I was afraid of speaking in public. When I was in Grade 7, my classmates chose me to give a speech at the school meeting. I was very 1 . I didn’t know what to do. My teacher, Miss Li, encouraged me. She said, “Believe in yourself. You are 2 than you think.” She helped me prepare the speech. Every day after school, I practiced in front of the mirror. 3 , the day came. I stood on the stage. My heart beat fast. I looked at my teacher and she smiled at me. I started to speak. To my surprise, I did a good job. Everyone 4 . From then on, I became more confident. I 5 that nothing is impossible if you try your best. Now I am in Grade 8. I often take part in school activities. Last month, I 6 a singing competition. I didn’t win, but I was still happy because I 7 my fear. My friends say I have changed a lot. I am no longer the shy girl I used to be. I have 8 many new friends. We often share our dreams with each other. I believe that 9 we hold on to our dreams, we will have a bright future. So never 10 . 1．A．excited B．nervous C．happy D．angry 2．A．better B．worse C．smarter D．taller 3．A．Finally B．Suddenly C．Luckily D．Certainly 4．A．laughed B．cried C．clapped D．shouted 5．A．forgot B．remembered C．learned D．hoped 6．A．took part in B．took care of C．took out D．took off 7．A．lost B．found C．overcame D．met 8．A．made B．known C．seen D．heard 9．A．as long as B．as soon as C．even though D．so that 10．A．give up B．put up C．look up D．get up 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．A 9．A 10．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了原本害羞的作者在老师的鼓励下完成演讲，收获自信，并领悟到坚持梦想就会拥有美好未来的故事。 【详解】 1．句意：我非常紧张。 根据语境，作者性格害羞，害怕当众讲话，即将上台演讲内心十分紧张，nervous意为“紧张的”，符合语境。excited“兴奋的”，happy“开心的”，angry“生气的”均不符合人物此刻的心理状态。 2．句意：老师鼓励我说：“相信你自己，你比你自己想象的要更好。” 根据语境，这是老师鼓励作者的话语，better意为“更好的”，符合老师鼓励学生的语境。worse“更差的”，smarter“更聪明的”，taller“更高的”均不符合语义逻辑。 3．句意：放学后我每天对着镜子练习准备演讲，最终，那一天来了。 根据前文描述作者持续练习准备的过程，最终迎来了演讲日，Finally意为“最终、终于”，符合时间线推进的逻辑。Suddenly“突然地”，Luckily“幸运地”，Certainly“当然地”均不符合循序渐进等到演讲日的语境。 4．句意：令我惊讶的是我完成得很好，所有人都鼓掌。 根据前文作者演讲表现出色，台下的听众合理的反应是鼓掌赞许，clapped意为“鼓掌”，符合场景逻辑。laughed“嘲笑”，cried“哭泣”，shouted“大喊”均不是大家对出色演讲的正向反馈。 5．句意：从那以后我变得更自信了，我认识到只要尽全力没有什么是不可能的。 根据语境，作者通过这次演讲的经历领悟到了这个道理，learned意为“认识到、领悟到”，符合从经历中获得感悟的语义。forgot“忘记”，remembered“记得”，hoped“希望”均不符合从亲身经历总结出道理的语境。 6．句意：上个月，我参加了一场歌唱比赛。 根据后文的歌唱比赛语境，took part in意为“参加”，符合参加比赛的固定搭配。took care of“照顾”，took out“取出”，took off“脱下；起飞”均不符合语义。 7．句意：我没有获胜，但我依旧很开心，因为我克服了内心的恐惧。 结合上下文，作者不再害羞，战胜了恐惧心理，overcame意为“克服”，符合语境。lost“丢失”，found“找到”，met“遇见”均不符合。 8．句意：我交到了许多新朋友。 固定搭配make friends意为“交朋友”，本句为现在完成时，make变为made，符合语境。known“认识”，seen“看见”，heard“听见”均不符合“交朋友”的常用表达。 9．句意：我相信只要我们坚持梦想，我们就会拥有光明的未来。 此处引导条件状语从句，表达“只要满足坚持梦想的条件，就能收获光明未来”的逻辑，as long as意为“只要”，符合语境。as soon as“一……就……”，even though“即使”，so that“为了”均不符合此处的条件关系逻辑。 10．句意：所以永远不要放弃。 结合前文“坚持梦想就有光明未来”的表述，此处是作者给出的感悟总结：永远不要放弃，give up意为“放弃”，符合全文传递的“勇敢突破自我、坚持就有收获”的主旨。put up“张贴、搭建”，look up“查阅、抬头看”，get up“起床”均不符合语境。 04 My name is Li Hua. I am a student in Grade 8. I have a happy family. My father is a teacher. He is very 1 to his students and always helps them. My mother is a nurse. She works in a 2 . She is busy 3 sick people every day. I have a brother. He is two years older than me. He is very 4 and often helps me with my homework. I am a 5 girl. I like reading books and drawing pictures. My dream is to be an artist. I 6 believe that if I work hard, my dream will come true. Last week, I 7 a painting competition and won the first prize. I was so excited. My parents were proud of me. They said, “ 8 you keep practicing, you will be a great artist.” I will never 9 my dream. I know it’s not easy, but I am ready to face any 10 . 1．A．strict B．kind C．serious D．lazy 2．A．school B．hospital C．library D．factory 3．A．helping B．to help C．help D．helped 4．A．shy B．funny C．helpful D．quiet 5．A．quiet B．outgoing C．creative D．active 6．A．hardly B．truly C．clearly D．loudly 7．A．took part in B．took care of C．took out D．took off 8．A．As long as B．As soon as C．Even though D．So that 9．A．give up B．put up C．look up D．get up 10．A．chance B．difficulty C．success D．mistake 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．B 7．A 8．A 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文介绍了李华的家庭成员及职业，讲述了她自己的兴趣爱好、梦想以及为实现梦想努力面对困难的决心。 【详解】 1．句意：他对学生很友善且总是帮助他们。 根据后文“always helps them”可知，父亲对学生很好。kind“和蔼的”符合逻辑。strict“严厉的”、serious“严肃的”、lazy“懒惰的”均不符合语境。 2．句意：她在一家医院工作。 根据前文“My mother is a nurse”可知，护士的工作地点通常是医院。school“学校”、library“图书馆”、factory“工厂”均不符合护士的职业特征。 3．句意：她每天忙着照顾病人。 考查固定搭配be busy doing sth.（忙于做某事）。此处需用动名词形式helping，to help（不定式）、help（原形）、helped（过去式）均不符合语法结构。 4．句意：他非常乐于助人，经常帮我做作业。 根据后文“often helps me with my homework”可知，哥哥的性格是乐于助人的（helpful）。shy“害羞的”、funny“有趣的”、quiet“安静的”均无法直接推导出“帮做作业”的行为。 5．句意：我是一个有创造力的女孩。 根据后文“I like reading books and drawing pictures... My dream is to be an artist”可知，作者具有艺术天赋和创造力。creative“有创造力的”与“艺术家”梦想及“画画”爱好直接对应。quiet“安静的”、outgoing“外向的”、active“活跃的”均不符合语境。 6．句意：我真心相信如果我努力工作，梦想会实现。 此处修饰动词believe，表示相信的程度。truly“真心地、真正地”符合语意。hardly“几乎不”表否定，clearly“清晰地”、loudly“大声地”修饰方式，均不符合语境。 7．句意：上周，我参加了一个绘画比赛并获得了一等奖。 根据后文“won the first prize”可知，作者是参加了比赛。took part in“参加”符合语境；took care of“照顾”、took out“取出”、took off“起飞/脱下”均不符合逻辑。 8．句意：只要你坚持练习，你就会成为一名伟大的艺术家。 分析句子逻辑，“坚持练习”是“成为伟大艺术家”的条件。As long as“只要”引导条件状语从句，符合语境；As soon as“一……就……”、Even though“即使”、So that“以便”均不符合逻辑关系。 9．句意：我永远不会放弃我的梦想。 根据前文父母鼓励“keep practicing”及后文“it’s not easy”可知，作者决心坚持。give up“放弃”符合语境；put up“张贴/搭建”、look up“查阅”、get up“起床”均不符合。 10．句意：我知道这不容易，但我准备好面对任何困难。 根据前文“it’s not easy”可知，追梦路上会有阻碍。difficulty“困难”符合语境；chance“机会”、success“成功”、mistake“错误”均与前文“不容易”的转折逻辑不符。 05 I am the tallest student in my class. I always sit in the last row. People often look at me in 1 and say, “You must be good at basketball.” I have 2 that many times. In fact, I’m not very 3 at basketball, but I just laugh. When I was younger, I 4 like being tall. I always felt that I was 5 others. I wanted to be the same as everyone else. But 6 time, I started to see the good sides of being tall. People can 7 me easily in a crowd. I can help others get things from high 8 . Now I have learned to 9 my height. I am proud of 10 . Being tall is part of who I am, and that’s okay. 1．A．sadness B．happiness C．anger D．surprise 2．A．hear B．heard C．hearing D．to hear 3．A．bad B．good C．well D．poor 4．A．doesn’t B．didn’t C．hasn’t D．isn’t 5．A．different from B．similar to C．the same as D．proud of 6．A．over B．on C．at D．in 7．A．hide B．recognise C．forget D．remember 8．A．places B．floors C．shelves D．rooms 9．A．accept B．change C．hide D．refuse 10．A．me B．my C．myself D．mine 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．A 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者是班里最高的学生。起初因为身高总被别人议论，年少时也不喜欢自己个子高，渴望和其他人一样。但随着时间流逝，作者慢慢发现个子高带来的好处，最终学会接纳自己的身高，并为自己感到自豪。 【详解】 1．句意：人们经常惊讶地看着我说：“你一定很擅长打篮球。” 根据旁人看到作者个子很高而发出感慨的语境，应选用surprise，表示“惊讶”。sadness“悲伤”；happiness“开心”；anger“愤怒”，均不符。 2．句意：我已经很多次听到那样的话了。 根据句中助动词have，本句为现在完成时，要用动词过去分词，应选用heard，表示“听到”。hear“听见”；hearing“听见”；to hear“去听见”，逻辑不通。 3．句意：事实上，我并不擅长打篮球，但我只是一笑而过。 根据后文“but I just laugh”的转折语境，应选用good，be good at为固定搭配，表示“擅长”。bad“糟糕的”；well“好地”；poor“贫穷的；差的”，逻辑不符。 4．句意：当我年纪更小的时候，我不喜欢个子高。 根据When I was younger可知时态为一般过去时，应选用didn’t，表示“不”。doesn’t“不”；hasn’t“还没有”；isn’t“不是”，均不符。 5．句意：我总是感觉我和别人不一样。 根据后文“I wanted to be the same as everyone else”，应选用different from，表示“与……不同”。similar to“与……相似”；the same as“和……一样”；proud of“为……自豪”，逻辑不通。 6．句意：但是随着时间的推移，我开始看到个子高的好处。 固定搭配over time，应选用over，表示“随着”。on“在……上面”；at“在”；in“在……里面”，逻辑不符。 7．句意：人们可以在人群中轻易认出我。 个子高在人群中容易被看见，应选用recognise，表示“认出”。hide“隐藏”；forget“忘记”；remember“记得”，均不符。 8．句意：我可以帮其他人从高高的架子上拿东西。 个子高的优势是可以帮别人从高处拿东西，应选用shelves，表示“架子”。places“地方”；floors“地板”；rooms“房间”，逻辑不通。 9．句意：现在我已经学会接受我的身高。 根据后文为自己自豪的叙述，应选用accept，表示“接受”。change“改变”；hide“隐藏”；refuse“拒绝”，逻辑不符。 10．句意：我为我自己感到自豪。 主语为I，应选用myself，表示“我自己”。me“我”；my“我的”；mine“我的（东西）”，均不符。 06 Life is a journey and you will never know where life will lead you. When I was a young girl, I was quite shy. Every time I talked with others, I was 1 to look into their eyes. What was worse, I stammered (口吃) when I spoke. “Sana, why don’t you read this paragraph for us?” asked Miss Meng, my English teacher, one day. Hesitantly (犹豫地), I stood up to read the paragraph. However, I just stood there, 2 to speak a word. The classmates started laughing. “Sana,” said Miss Meng, “sit down!” 1 terribly awkward (尴尬的), I sat down and Miss Meng asked someone else to read it. After class, I went to the library, planning to practise reading and overcome (克服) my weakness. I walked past some of my classmates who were also sitting there as I went to the bookshelf. I heard them speaking 2 . “What is she doing here?” asked one. “She needs to work hard!” said another. Hearing these, I quickly walked out of the library with a red face. “Sana, right?” a beautiful voice came into my ears. I 1 and my eyes met hers. It was Susan. “You have a beautiful voice. What about practising reading together?” Her warm words cheered me up a lot. I 2 with a smile. From then on, whenever we had time, we would practise reading aloud together. She even 3 me how to pronounce each word clearly and correctly. As time went on, I became better and better at reading. I became more outgoing and 4 . Much to everyone’s 5 , I even won third place in the city’s speaking competition. Now I work at a local radio station as a presenter. So doubts and 6 can never hold us back as long as we try hard. 1．A．risky B．successful C．confident D．afraid 2．A．unable B．unhappy C．ready D．patient 3．A．Sounding B．Tasting C．Feeling D．Smelling 4．A．angrily B．happily C．softly D．nervously 5．A．looked down B．looked away C．looked after D．looked up 6．A．nodded B．shook C．stood D．sat 7．A．asked B．needed C．taught D．wished 8．A．different B．confident C．shocked D．silent 9．A．regret B．shame C．joy D．surprise 10．A．values B．results C．fears D．dangers 【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 6．A 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Sana小时候害羞口吃，课堂朗读受挫，在同学Susan的鼓励陪伴下坚持练习朗读，不断突破自我，最终在演讲比赛获奖，成为电台主持人的成长故事，告诉我们只要努力，怀疑与恐惧都无法阻挡我们前进。 【详解】 1．句意：每次和别人交谈，我都不敢直视他们的眼睛。 前文交代我小时候十分害羞，afraid意为“害怕的”，契合内向胆怯的人物状态；risky“危险的”，successful“成功的”，confident“自信的”，都和害羞的语境矛盾。 2．句意：然而，我就站在那里，一个字也说不出来。 后文写到同学们开始大笑，说明我紧张得无法开口朗读，unable意为“不能够的”，对应现场卡顿失语的情景；unhappy“不开心的”，ready“准备好的”，patient“有耐心的”，不符合当时的处境。 3．句意：感觉无比尴尬，我坐了下来，孟老师叫其他人来朗读。 上文刚刚写我当众朗读失败遭到同学嘲笑，此处描写内心的感受，Feeling意为“感觉”，用来表达内心尴尬的情绪；Sounding“听起来”，Tasting“尝起来”，Smelling“闻起来”，均不能用来描述心理感受。 4．句意：我听见他们在低声交谈。 故事发生在图书馆，需要保持安静，同学们只能小声议论，softly意为“轻声地”，契合图书馆的环境；angrily“生气地”，happily“开心地”，nervously“紧张地”，和场景逻辑不符。 5．句意：我抬起头，目光和她相遇。 前文我遭受同学议论，红着脸情绪低落，是低着头的状态，听到声音之后抬头对视，looked up意为“抬头”，符合动作逻辑；looked down“向下看”，looked away“移开视线”，looked after“照顾”，无法实现目光对视。 6．句意：我微笑着点了点头。 Susan主动提出邀约，邀请我一起练习朗读，结合“ with a smile.”，代表我欣然接受提议，nodded意为“点头”；shook“摇晃”，stood“站立”，sat“坐下”，不能表达同意邀请的含义。 7．句意：她甚至教我如何清晰准确地读出每一个单词。 二人结伴练习朗读，Susan帮助我纠正发音，taught意为“教”，体现传授朗读技巧的行为；asked“询问”，needed“需要”，wished“希望”，不符合语境。 8．句意：我变得更加外向自信。 前文写我坚持练习朗读，克服口吃的弱点，outgoing意为“外向的”，与之并列，confident意为“自信的”，体现我性格上的积极转变；different“不同的”，shocked“震惊的”，silent“沉默的”，无法体现战胜自卑后的变化。 9．句意：令所有人惊讶的是，我甚至在全市演讲比赛拿到了第三名。 从前我害羞口吃不敢当众朗读，如今取得比赛名次，前后形成巨大反差，surprise意为“惊讶”，much to one’s surprise是固定搭配，表示“令某人惊讶的是”；regret“后悔”，shame“羞愧”，joy“喜悦”，不能匹配前后巨大的处境反差。 10．句意：所以只要我们肯努力，怀疑和恐惧永远无法阻碍我们前进。 整篇文章围绕主人公战胜内心胆怯展开，doubts意为“怀疑”，fears意为“恐惧”，和前文自己害羞、畏惧当众说话的经历相呼应；values“价值”，results“结果”，dangers“危险”，和全文表达的成长主题不契合。 Unit 2：人际交往 07 Friendship is very important in our lives. Everyone needs friends. But how can we 1 on well with our friends? First, we should be 2 . A good friend never tells lies. If you are honest, your friends will 3 you. They will feel safe when they stay with you. Second, we should learn to 4 . Friends may have different ideas. When you don’t agree with your friend, don’t argue. Instead, listen to him or her 5 . Try to understand his or her feelings. Third, we should 6 our friends when they are in trouble. A true friend always gives a hand.

Instead, listen to him or her”的线索，本段主题是学会倾听，listen意为“倾听”，符合语境。fight意为“打架”，argue意为“争吵”，run意为“奔跑”，和段落主旨相反，不符合语境。 5．句意：相反，耐心地听他或她倾诉。 空后为动词listen，此处需要副词修饰动词。patiently意为“耐心地”，符合语境。angrily意为“生气地”，quickly意为“快速地”，carelessly意为“粗心地”，词义和“倾听朋友”的语境不符。 6．句意：第三，当朋友陷入困境时，我们应该帮助他们。 根据下文“A true friend always gives a hand”线索，可知朋友有困难时要帮助他们。help意为“帮助”，符合语境。laugh at意为“嘲笑”，look after意为“照顾”，leave意为“离开”，词义与本句语境不匹配。 7．句意：当你的朋友难过时，你可以和他/她聊聊，让他/她振作起来。 根据前文“When your friend is sad”线索，固定短语cheer sb. up意为“使某人振作”。cheer符合短语搭配，应选用。give意为“给予”，put意为“放置”，take意为“拿”，无法构成该短语，不符合语境。 8．句意：如果你做错事，及时道歉。 根据前文做错事情的语境线索，in time意为“及时”，say sorry in time表示“及时道歉”，符合逻辑。in a hurry意为“匆忙”，at last意为“最后”，at first意为“起初”，不符合该语境。 9．句意：一句简单的“对不起”就能让你们的友谊更加牢固。 本句结构make sth.+形容词比较级，根据语境，道歉会让友谊变得更好，stronger意为“更牢固的”，符合语境。worse意为“更差的”，weaker意为“更弱的”，shorter意为“更短的”，语义和句子逻辑相反。 10．句意：如果我们善待朋友，友谊会长久。 空前为动词treat，此处需要副词修饰动词。well意为“好地”，treat our friends well意为“好好对待朋友”，符合语境。badly意为“糟糕地”，rudely意为“粗鲁地”，carelessly意为“粗心地”，词义和“友谊长久”逻辑矛盾。 08 In ancient China, there was a famous story about two families. The Zhang family and the Wu family lived next to each other. One day, they had a disagreement about the land 1 their houses. Both families wanted to build walls, but the space was too 2 . The Zhang family wrote a letter to their relative, Zhang Ying, who had a high 3 in the government. They asked for his 4 . When his reply came, they opened it and found a poem inside. The poem said, “A letter from home, just for a wall. What’s the harm to give up three 5 ?” The Zhang family was deeply 6 by the poem. They decided to 7 back and give up three chi of their land. The Wu family saw this 8 and felt ashamed. They also stepped back three chi. In the end, a six-chi-wide lane was formed between the two houses. This story teaches us an important lesson. 9 we face disagreements with others, we should remember that kindness encourages more 10 . Sometimes, giving up a little can bring us closer together. 1．A．among B．between C．during D．through 2．A．wide B．tall C．narrow D．long 3．A．position B．direction C．condition D．question 4．A．advice B．money C．time D．food 5．A．meters B．feet C．chi D．kilometers 6．A．moved B．worried C．surprised D．interested 7．A．step B．give C．look D．come 8．A．act B．idea C．way D．plan 9．A．Whenever B．Whatever C．Wherever D．However 10．A．kindness B．sadness C．happiness D．illness 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．C 6．A 7．A 8．A 9．A 10．A 【导语】本文讲述古代中国张吴两家因宅基地争执，张家官员回诗劝让，双方各退三尺形成六尺巷，体现了谦让友善的美德。 【详解】 1．句意：一天，他们因房子之间的土地发生了争执。 根据“Two families”和“their houses”可知，是两家房子“之间”的土地，两者之间用between。among用于三者及以上的范围，during表时间，through表“穿过”，均不符合两者之间的空间语境。 2．句意：两家都想建墙，但空间太窄了。 根据“disagreement”和常识可知，空间“太窄”才会引发争执，narrow“狭窄的”符合逻辑，wide“宽阔的”与文意相反，tall“高的”，long“长的”均不能形容空间宽度。 3．句意：张家给他们在政府身居高位的亲戚张英写信。 根据“in the government”可知，指在政府有很高的“职位”，position“职位”符合语境；direction“方向”、condition“状况”、question“问题”均搭配不当。 4．句意：他们寻求他的建议。 根据“asked for”及遇到争执的背景可知，是寻求“建议”，advice“建议”符合求助的场景，money“金钱”、time“时间”、food“食物”均与纠纷求助的语境不符。 5．句意：让他三尺又何妨？ 根据故事背景“六尺巷”及后文“three chi”可知，此处计量单位为chi“尺”，meter“米”、foot“英尺”、kilometer“千米”均不符合典故背景与原文线索。 6．句意：张家被这首诗深深感动了。 根据后文他们决定退让可知，他们是深受“感动”，moved“受感动的”符合人物行为的动因，worried“担忧的”、surprised“惊讶的”、interested“感兴趣的”均无法体现主动退让的情感缘由。 7．句意：他们决定后退并让出三尺土地。 step back是固定短语，意为“退后、退让”，step符合搭配与语境，give“给”、look“看”、come“来”均无法构成该固定表达。 8．句意：吴家看到了这一行为并感到羞愧。 根据张家退让土地的事实可知，这是一个“行为”，act“行为、举动”符合语义；idea“想法”、way“方式”、plan“计划”均不能准确指代“退地”这个实际行动。 9．句意：每当我们和他人产生分歧时，我们都应该记住，善意会催生更多善意。 根据“we face disagreements”可知，指“无论何时”面对分歧，Whenever符合逻辑，Whatever“无论什么”、Wherever“无论何地”、However“然而”均不符合句间逻辑。 10．句意：善意鼓励更多的善意。 根据“kindness encourages more”及文章主旨可知，善意催生“善意”，kindness“善意”点明主旨，前后呼应，sadness“悲伤”、happiness“幸福”、illness“疾病”均偏离文章核心主题。 09 Getting along well with others is very important for everyone. However, many people find it 1 to keep a good friendship. Here are some useful rules for you. First, be honest. Honesty is the basis of all good relationships.

We used to do everything together — 1 homework, watching movies, and sharing secrets. But last month, something changed. Jenny joined the school dance club and made some new friends. She started 2 me messages less often. Whenever I invited her to hang out, she always said she was busy. I felt 3 and didn’t know what to do. One day, I decided to talk to her. “Jenny, I feel like we’re not as 4 as before,” I said. She looked surprised. “I’m sorry,” she replied. “I didn’t realize you felt that way. I was just 5 to make new friends and didn’t want to lose you.” I realized that I should have told her my 6 earlier instead of keeping them inside. “I guess I was 7 that you might not want to be my friend anymore,” I admitted. Jenny smiled and said, “You’re my best friend. Nothing can change that. Why don’t we 8 something together this weekend?” From this experience, I learned that 9 friends will respect your feelings. It is important to be honest about your fears instead of 10 them. Communication is the key to any friendship. 1．A．doing B．making C．taking D．getting 2．A．sending B．to send C．send D．sent 3．A．excited B．happy C．uncertain D．cheerful 4．A．close B．closer C．closest D．closely 5．A．try B．tried C．trying D．to try 6．A．feelings B．fears C．ideas D．suggestions 7．A．afraid B．proud C．sure D．glad 8．A．do B．to do C．doing D．did 9．A．fake B．true C．new D．old 10．A．expressing B．sharing C．hiding D．showing 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．A 7．A 8．A 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文讲述了一对从小相伴的好友因一方加入新社团产生隔阂，最终通过坦诚沟通化解矛盾的故事，点明了真诚沟通是维系友谊的核心。 【详解】 1．句意：我们过去什么事都一起做——做作业、看电影、分享秘密。 “做作业”的固定英文搭配是do homework，和后文的动名词结构watching、sharing保持形式一致，doing符合语境。 2．句意：她开始给我发消息的频率变得越来越低。 固定用法start doing sth.表示“开始做某事”，send messages是“发消息”的常用搭配，sending符合语法规则。 3．句意：我感到很迷茫，不知道该怎么办。 好友突然变得忙碌疏远，“我”的情绪是不确定、不知所措的，uncertain意为“不确定的、迷茫的”，贴合当下心境。 4．句意：“珍妮，我感觉我们不像以前那么亲密了。”我说道。 固定结构as+形容词原级+as表示“和……一样”，close意为“亲密的”，用来形容好友间的关系，符合语义。 5．句意：我当时只是忙着认识新朋友，并不想失去你。 过去进行时结构为was/were+现在分词，trying是try的现在分词形式，符合句子时态要求。 6．句意：我意识到我本该早点把我的感受告诉她，而不是一直憋在心里。 后文提到“我”向珍妮坦白自己的不安，这里指的是藏在心里的真实感受，feelings意为“感受”，贴合语境。 7．句意：我感觉我之前一直害怕你再也不想和我做朋友了。” 好友逐渐疏远，“我”内心的情绪是担忧失去这段友谊，afraid意为“害怕的、担忧的”，符合人物心理。 8．句意：我们这周末为什么不一起做点什么事呢？ 固定句型Why don’t we后接动词原形，用来提出建议，do符合该句型的语法规则。 9．句意：从这次经历中我学到，真正的朋友会尊重你的感受。 能尊重彼此情绪、不会因新社交疏远对方的才是真挚的好友，true意为“真正的”，贴合全文对友谊的正向定义。 10．句意：坦诚说出你的恐惧，而不是把它们藏起来，这一点非常重要。 前文提到“我”之前把情绪憋在心里，这里对应的反义行为就是“隐藏”恐惧，hiding意为“隐藏”，符合语义逻辑。 11 On a cold winter evening, Mrs White and her daughter Emma were staying at home. Suddenly, the lights went out, leaving the room completely 1 . “Mum, what’s going on?” Emma called out loudly. “Don’t worry. The lights might come on soon,” Mrs White said 1 to comfort Emma. In a moment, a worker with a flashlight knocked at the door and said, “Excuse me, madam. There is a power cut across the neighbourhood. We have to 2 the building. Please follow me to the exit.” Mrs White and Emma wrapped up (裹紧) warm clothes and walked out. They met their neighbours in the hallway. Everyone was standing outside, talking and laughing about the sudden darkness. Mr Johnson, an old neighbour, was standing at his doorstep. “I can’t stand 1 in my room without heating,” he said, rubbing his hands together. A young neighbour invited everyone to his apartment. “Come in, please. I have some hot tea and snacks,” he said warmly. People shared stories and food. Even though it was cold outside, the atmosphere inside was full of warmth. As they were enjoying the 1 , night fell over the city. The air was cold, but Emma didn’t mind anymore. She had enjoyed a special evening with her neighbours. She smiled to herself and thought, “Getting along with neighbours makes life so much 2 .” From that day on, Emma decided to be more friendly to everyone in the community. She 3 that a simple act of kindness could bring people closer. Now, whenever she meets her neighbours, she always greets them with a big smile. And they often 4 greetings and help each other. Emma’s story tells us that a harmonious neighbourhood is built on mutual 5 and care. So never hesitate to show your kindness, because it can make a 6 to someone’s day. 1．A．cold B．dark C．crowded D．empty 2．A．angrily B．peacefully C．loudly D．strangely 3．A．open B．leave C．tidy D．visit 4．A．sitting B．standing C．sleeping D．eating 5．A．silence B．food C．meal D．game 6．A．harder B．easier C．better D．worse 7．A．realised B．forgot C．imagined D．promised 8．A．refuse B．avoid C．exchange D．ignore 9．A．respect B．doubt C．competition D．conflict 10．A．mistake B．difference C．mess D．plan 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．C 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文讲述了一个寒冷的冬夜停电后，Emma和邻居们互相帮助、分享温暖的故事，最终Emma明白了与邻居友好相处的重要性。 【详解】 1．句意：突然，灯灭了，房间里一片漆黑。 根据上文“the lights went out”可知，灯灭了，房间变得“黑暗的”。备选词中dark意为“黑暗的”，符合语境。cold意为“寒冷的”，crowded意为“拥挤的”，empty意为“空的”，均不符合。 2．句意：为了安慰Emma，Mrs White平静地说。 根据上文Mrs White说“Don’t worry. The lights might come on soon”可知，她在安慰Emma，语气应是“平静地”。备选词中peacefully意为“平静地”，符合语境。angrily意为“生气地”，loudly意为“大声地”，strangely意为“奇怪地”，均不符合。 3．句意：我们不得不离开这栋楼。 根据下文“Please follow me to the exit”可知，工人要带他们离开大楼，应用leave the building，表示“离开大楼”。leave意为“离开”，符合语境。open意为“打开”；tidy意为“整理”，visit意为“参观”，均与语境不符。 4．句意：没有暖气，我不能忍受待在房间里。 根据上文“Mr Johnson...was standing at his doorstep”可知，Mr Johnson 站在门口，说明他不想待在房间里。他说“I can’t stand ____ in my room without heating”，表示不能忍受“待在”没有暖气的房间里。sitting意为“坐着”，此处表示“坐着”在房间里，更符合室内活动的自然状态。standing（站着）虽然也可表示“待着”，但 sitting 更能体现“在房间里停留”的含义。sleeping（睡觉）和 eating（吃饭）均不符合语境。 5．句意：当他们正在享受食物时，夜幕降临了。 根据上文“A young neighbour invited everyone to his apartment...I have some hot tea and snacks... People shared stories and food.”可知，大家聚在一起分享茶、零食和食物，强调的不是吃正餐的场景，因此用meal（一餐）不贴切，food（食物）最为准确；silence（沉默）与“享受”矛盾，game（游戏）文中未提及。 6．句意：与邻居相处让生活变得好多了。 根据上文Emma度过了一个特别的夜晚，以及她决定更加友好，可知她认为与邻居相处让生活“更好”了。better意为“更好的”，符合语境。harder意为“更难的”，easier意为“更容易的”，worse意为“更差的”，均不符合。 7．句意：她意识到一个简单的善举可以拉近人们之间的距离。 根据上文“She smiled to herself and thought...”以及下文“From that day on, Emma decided to be more friendly”可知，她“意识到”了友善的重要性。realised意为“意识到”，符合语境。forgot意为“忘记”，imagined意为“想象”，promised意为“承诺”，均不符合。 8．句意：他们经常互相问候和帮助。 根据上文“whenever she meets her neighbours, she always greets them with a big smile”以及“and help each other”可知，邻居们互相“交换”问候和帮助。exchange意为“交换”，符合语境。refuse意为“拒绝”，avoid意为“避免”，ignore意为“忽视”，均不符合。 9．句意：一个和谐的社区是建立在相互尊重和关心之上的。 根据上文“Getting along with neighbours makes life so much better”以及全文主旨可知，和谐的邻里关系建立在“相互尊重”之上。respect意为“尊重”，符合语境。doubt意为“怀疑”，competition意为“竞争”，conflict意为“冲突”，均不符合。 10．句意：因为它可以改变某人的一天。 根据上文“show your kindness”以及下文“make a ____ to someone’s day”可知，友善可以“改变”某人的一天，make a difference为固定搭配，意为“有影响、起作用”。difference意为“差异”，make a difference意为“有影响、起作用”，符合语境。mistake意为“错误”，mess意为“混乱”，plan意为“计划”，均不符合。 12 Once upon a time, there was a small tree living in a forest. He noticed that all the other trees were so tall and strong. He wanted to grow bigger and stronger 1 . So he decided that he would never share his sunshine with the smaller plants around him. He thought he could grow taller in this way. Soon, the little tree started to grow. But the ground around him was becoming 2 . First, the small flowers under his shade(树荫)withered (枯萎). Then, the grass became yellow as well. The little birds and insects that used to live there flew away. 3 the end, the area around him became a bare (光秃秃的) place. But the little tree did not 4 . However, as time went on, there was no longer any living thing to keep the soil rich. So slowly, he became even 5 than he used to be. The little tree knew he was 6 . His selfishness was the reason 7 he faced such a problem. At that moment, a kind old tree nearby began to talk to him. The old tree told him that helping others grow together was the best way to grow himself. The little tree 8 his mistake and decided to change. From then on, he shared his sunshine and rain with the smaller plants. 9 this time, he was generous. His surroundings became green again, and he grew taller and healthier than ever before. He finally understood that getting along well with others brings 10 to everyone. 1．A．himself B．herself C．yourself D．themselves 2．A．wet B．dry C．dirty D．beautiful 3．A．On B．To C．In D．At 4．A．care B．know C．listen D．laugh 5．A．stronger B．weaker C．taller D．shorter 6．A．clever B．wrong C．right D．wise 7．A．what B．why C．when D．who 8．A．remembered B．forgot C．realised D．doubted 9．A．Though B．But C．Unless D．Until 10．A．sadness B．trouble C．happiness D．difficulty 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．B 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文主要讲述一棵小树因自私霸占阳光导致周边环境衰败、自身状态变差，后来知错改正，懂得与周边植物共享资源，最终明白和睦相处能让大家都获益的道理。 【详解】 1．句意：他想要让自己长得更大更壮。 前文提到他看到其他树又高又壮，他也想变得高大强壮，主语是he，反身代词himself表示“他自己”；herself“她自己”、yourself“你自己”、themselves“他们自己”人称不匹配。 2．句意：但是他周围的土地开始变得干燥。 后文写到小花枯萎、小草变黄，说明土地变干缺水；dry“干燥的”；wet“潮湿的”、dirty“脏的”、beautiful“美丽的”和植物枯萎的语境矛盾。 3．句意：最后，他周边的区域变成了光秃秃的地方。 固定搭配in the end，意为“最后，最终”；in the end；on、to、at均不能构成这个固定短语。 4．句意：但是这棵小树并没有在意。 前文描述周围花草枯萎，鸟兽飞走，but表转折，小树对此毫不在意，did not care表示“不在意”；know“知道”、listen“听”、laugh“大笑”不符合此处语义。 5．句意：于是慢慢地，他变得比以前更加虚弱。 前文讲没有生物滋养土壤，土壤不再肥沃，所以小树变得更弱；weaker“更虚弱的”；stronger“更强壮的”、taller“更高的”、shorter“更矮的”和土壤贫瘠带来的结果不符。 6．句意：这棵小树知道自己做错了。 后文说自私是造成问题的原因，说明小树意识到自己是错的；wrong“错误的”；clever“聪明的”、right“正确的”、wise“明智的”语义相反。 7．句意：他的自私就是他面临这个问题的原因。 固定句型the reason why…，why引导定语从句，表“……的原因”；what“什么”、when“什么时候”、“who”谁语法功能不匹配。 8．句意：小树意识到自己的错误并且决定做出改变。 听了老树的话之后，小树醒悟到自身的过错，realised“意识到”；remembered“记得”、forgot“忘记”、doubted“怀疑”和知错悔改的语境不符。 9．句意：但是这一次，他变得慷慨大方。 从前他自私不分享阳光，现在变得慷慨，前后形成转折关系，But表转折；Though“虽然”、Unless“除非”、Until“直到”，逻辑关系不对。 10．句意：他终于明白和别人和睦相处，会给每一个人带来快乐。 小树改变之后环境重获生机，树木长得更好，这件事带来好的结果，happiness“快乐”；sadness“悲伤”、trouble“麻烦”、difficulty“ 困难”均为负面词汇，和故事结局不符。 Unit 3：发明创造 13 Curiosity pushes people to invent new things. Many great 1 come from people who keep asking “why” and “how”. Easton was a teenager full of curiosity. At a science fair, he 2 Jenny. The girl was born without an arm. Her artificial arm cost so much money that most poor families couldn’t 3 one. What was worse, kids grew fast and they 4 new arms very often. Easton wanted to do something to help. First he made a robotic arm 5 plastic blocks and fishing line. Later he got a 3D printer for his birthday and 6 a better artificial arm. It could move by brain signals, 7 it was too heavy for children. He never gave up and kept improving his design. Years later, his new arm only weighed 0.5 kilograms and cost about $500. He didn’t want to make 8 from his creation. Instead, he put his design online for free. More people could download it and make arms for kids in 9 . His story tells us: curiosity is not enough.

Inventions always play an important role in our life. They make our life more 1 and much easier than before. Recently, a university project has helped two young women 2 a great idea for a difficult problem. Julia and Jessica are students at Harvard University. One day, their teacher said, “I want you to solve a world problem about the energy source (来源). Who can take on this 3 ?” Julia and Jessica wanted to take that challenge. So, they answered, “We decided to accept the difficult task.” Before they began, they first studied many different 4 with few energy sources. They found that children in these countries all like playing 5 , especially soccer. After 6 this observation ( 现象), Julia and Jessica decided to create a new energy source that has something to do with soccer. They spent six months working with their friends to make a soccer ball with a battery (电池) in it. It took them a long time, but it 7 turned out to be a big success. They knew the soccer was exactly 8 they wanted. They named it the SOCCKET and showed it to the users. When the players 9 the ball, the battery inside got the energy from the ball’s movement. After the game, the players used it to make the smart phones 10 . It is fantastic that a simple project can make our lives better! 1．A．boring B．colourful C．difficult D．careful 2．A．come up with B．run out of C．look forward to D．keep away from 3．A．article B．project C．topic D．discussion 4．A．lands B．towns C．cities D．countries 5．A．tennis B．energy C．sports D．source 6．A．making B．doubting C．noticing D．checking 7．A．hardly B．easily C．quickly D．finally 8．A．what B．where C．how D．why 9．A．broke B．kicked C．lost D．bought 10．A．move B．use C．work D．repair 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．C 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文讲述了哈佛大学学生Julia和Jessica为解决能源短缺问题，观察到孩子们普遍喜欢踢足球，于是历时半年发明了一种内置电池的足球SOCCKET，踢球时的动能即可转化为电能，最终取得成功的故事。 【详解】 1．句意：发明使我们的生活更加丰富多彩，也比以前容易得多。 空格处与"much easier"并列，由and连接，应用积极意义的词。colourful“丰富多彩”符合，boring“无聊的”、difficult“困难的”、careful“仔细的”均与文意不符。 2．句意：最近，一个大学项目帮助两名年轻人为一个难题想出了一个绝妙的主意。 help sb. do sth.后接动词原形；come up with意为“想出（主意）”，与a great idea搭配。run out of“用完”、look forward to“期待”、keep away from“远离”均不符。 3．句意：谁能承担这个项目？ take on后接名词作宾语；文中老师布置的是解决能源来源问题的任务，即一个项目，project“项目”符合。article“文章”、topic“话题”、discussion“讨论”均不符。 4．句意：在开始之前，他们首先研究了能源稀少的不同国家。 由后文"children in these countries"可知，此处研究的是不同的国家，countries符合。lands“陆地”、towns“城镇”、cities“城市”与后文these countries不对应。 5．句意：他们发现这些国家的孩子都喜欢运动，尤其是足球。 由especially soccer可知，足球属于运动，playing sports“做运动”符合。tennis“网球”与especially soccer的包含关系不符；energy“能量”、source“来源”不能与playing搭配。 6．句意：注意到这一现象后，Julia和Jessica决定创造一种与足球有关的新能源。 After为介词，后接动名词；由decided to create a new energy source that has something to do with soccer可知，她们是在“注意到”孩子爱踢球这一现象后产生的想法，noticing符合。making“制造”、doubting“怀疑”、checking“检查”均不符。 7．句意：他们花了很长时间，但它最终证明是一个巨大的成功。 句前说花费很长时间，与but构成转折，表示最终成功，finally“最终”符合。hardly“几乎不”表否定；easily“容易地”、quickly“迅速地”与took them a long time矛盾。 8．句意：他们知道这个足球正是他们想要的东西。 空格处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作wanted的宾语，指物，应用what。where“哪里”、how“如何”、why“为什么”均不能作宾语。 9．句意：当球员踢球时，球内的电池从球的运动中获取能量。 由后文the battery inside got the energy from the ball's movement可知，踢球时球才会运动发电，kicked“踢”符合，叙述已发生的事用过去式。broke“打破”、lost“丢失”、bought“买”均不能使球产生运动发电。 10．句意：比赛结束后，球员们用它来让智能手机工作。 make sb./sth. do sth.后接省略to的动词原形；电池发电的用途是给手机供电使其能工作，work“运转、工作”符合。move“移动”、use“使用”、repair“修理”与发电用途不符。 15 Last Friday, our school held a wonderful Invention Day. Everyone was excited because it gave us the 1 to show our creative ideas and learn from each other. I started working on my 2 weeks before the big day. After noticing how often my classmates 3 their pens at school, I made a smart pencil case. Inside, the pencil case has weight sensors (重量传感器). When you lift your schoolbag, the sensors check (检查) if the 4 are empty. If they are, the pencil case will say, “Don’t forget your pens!” The pencil case looks simple, but I think it’s really 5 . On Invention Day, the school hall was full of amazing inventions. My classmates were so creative! For example, Lily made a hand-powered lamp (灯). It lights up 6 you shake it. Tom invented an anti-slip book stand (防滑书立) to hold books in place and keep our desks tidy. I walked around the hall, listening 7 to everyone’s presentations and learning about their ideas. In the end, we voted (投票) for our favourite inventions. Although my pencil case didn’t win an award, I still felt very 8 . I learnt that inventing isn’t something out of reach. It’s just about finding ways to 9 the small problems we face in everyday life. Invention Day was a fantastic experience.

He was born with a special talent for engineering. When he saw his grandfather 1 to walk because of a leg injury, he decided 2 something to help. “I want 3 a light but strong walking stick for him,” Ryan said. He kept 4 on different materials. At first, he tried 5 wood, but it was too heavy. Then he tried aluminum (铝) and it worked much better. He also added a small flashlight and a seat that could fold out. “My grandfather was blown 6 when he saw the final product. He said it made a big 7 to his daily life,” Ryan said proudly. Ryan posted the design online for 8 . To his surprise, many people downloaded it and sent him thank-you messages. One old man wrote, “Your invention gives me a helping 9 .

And I hope more young people will use their skills to help others.” 1．A．try B．trying C．to try D．tried 2．A．do B．doing C．to do D．did 3．A．design B．designing C．designed D．to design 4．A．work B．working C．to work D．worked 5．A．use B．to use C．using D．used 6．A．away B．off C．out D．over 7．A．decision B．difference C．condition D．signal 8．A．free B．cost C．money D．sale 9．A．hand B．arm C．leg D．foot 10．A．solve B．to solve C．solved D．solving 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文讲述了加拿大男孩Ryan发挥工程天赋，为受伤祖父设计轻便拐杖，并免费分享设计帮助他人的感人故事。 【详解】 1．句意：当他看到爷爷因为腿部受伤而尝试走路时，他决定做点什么来帮忙。 see sb. doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“看到某人正在做某事”，表示当时正在进行的动作，trying符合题意。try（原形）、to try（不定式）、tried（过去式），均不符合。 2．句意：当他看到爷爷因为腿部受伤而尝试走路时，他决定做点什么来帮忙。 decide to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“决定做某事”，to do符合题意。do（原形）、doing（动名词）、did（过去式），均不符合。 3．句意：Ryan说：“我想为他设计一个轻便而结实的拐杖。” want to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要做某事”，to design符合题意。design（原形）、designing（动名词）、designed（过去式），均不符合。 4．句意：他不断在不同材料上做实验。 keep doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“一直做某事”，working符合题意。work（原形）、to work（不定式）、worked（过去式），均不符合。 5．句意：起初，他尝试使用木头，但它太重了。 此处表示试着做某事看看效果，try doing sth.意为“尝试做某事”，using符合题意。use（原形）、to use（不定式）、used（过去式），均不符合。 6．句意：“我的爷爷看到成品时非常惊讶。”be blown away为固定搭配，意为“被深深打动/大吃一惊”，away符合题意。off“离开”、out“出去”、over“结束/在……上方”，均不符合。 7．句意：他说这对他的日常生活产生了很大的影响。 根据“to his daily life”可知是对生活产生影响，make a big difference为固定搭配，意为“产生很大影响/起很大作用”，difference符合题意。decision“决定”、condition“状况”、signal“信号”，均不符合。 8．句意：瑞恩把设计图免费发布在网上。 根据后文“many people downloaded it”，说明是免费提供的，for free“免费”符合题意。cost“费用”、money“钱”、sale“销售”，均不符合。 9．句意：你的发明给了我一只援助之手。 a helping hand为固定搭配，意为“援助之手/帮助”，hand符合题意。arm“手臂”、leg“腿”、foot“脚”，均不符合。 10．句意：Ryan说：“我喜欢解决重要的问题。” enjoy doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“喜欢做某事”，solving符合题意。solve（原形）、to solve（不定式）、solved（过去式），均不符合。 17 Many great inventions were not created 1 purpose. They happened by accident. One famous example is the invention of penicillin. Alexander Fleming, a Scottish scientist, was 2 an experiment in his lab. He left some Petri dishes on the table and went on a holiday. When he 3 ， he found that a special kind of mould (霉菌) had killed the bacteria (细菌) in one dish. This unexpected 4 led to the invention of penicillin, which has saved millions of lives. Another example is the Post-it note. Spencer Silver was trying to invent a super-strong glue. 5 ， he created a weak glue that could stick and peel off easily. At first, he thought it was a 6 . But years later, his friend Arthur Fry used this glue to keep his bookmarks in place. That's how the Post-it note was born. These stories tell us that failure doesn't always mean the end. Sometimes, failure can 7 to great success. Inventors are often 8 about the world around them. They are not afraid to 9 risks and try new things.
