'We must know what our duty is.'”可知，Patrick拒绝了Grant的请求，表示这样做不可行。Impossible“意为不可能的”，符合语境。Interesting“有趣的”，Exciting“令人兴奋的”，Terrible“糟糕的”，无法体现拒绝的态度。 5．句意：“责任？”Grant问。“这就是你不帮我的借口。什么朋友！”他生气地说。 根据后文“What a friend!”以及前文Grant的请求被拒绝可知，Grant此时非常生气，angrily意为“生气地”，符合语境。proudly“骄傲地”，excitedly“兴奋地”，carelessly“粗心地”，不符合当时冲突的语境。 6．句意：Patrick因为朋友的话而感到难过。 根据后文“He said, ‘You can say whatever you want...’”可知，Grant说了很重的话，words意为“话语”，符合语境。actions“行动”，feelings“感觉”，changes“改变”，不能准确指代上文内容。 7．句意：那天下午他们分路回家。 根据前文两人发生了争吵，以及后文“But in the days that followed, both of them felt bad.”可知，两人不欢而散，走不同的路回家，different意为“不同的”，go different ways 表示分道扬镳，符合吵架后情境。usual“通常的”，public“公共的”，strange“奇怪的”，无法体现分开走的意思。 8．句意：当Patrick的父母知道孩子们发生了什么事后，他们让他思考如何正确地帮助他最好的朋友。 根据句意，父母希望Patrick能“正确地”帮助朋友，而不是帮他做作业，correctly意为“正确地”，符合语境。patiently“耐心地”，safely“安全地”，quickly“快速地”，未触及帮助方式的本质问题。 9．句意：比赛结束时，两个老朋友的目光相遇了。 根据后文“Grant immediately came over and held out his hand.”可知，两人视线交汇，eyes met 表示“对视”，是和解的开始。closed“关闭”，hurt“伤害”，avoided“避免”，不符合重逢时的眼神交流。 10．句意：Patrick说：“好朋友不需要说对不起。他们的朋友知道。” 根据句意，好朋友之间不需要说“对不起”，say they are sorry表示“道歉”，符合和解语境。single“单一的”，funny“有趣的”，scared“害怕的”，均不符合道歉的含义。 A Meaningful School Life Leo was a foreign student from Germany.

Our teacher, Ms. Li, is very 2 and thoughtful. She encouraged us to get along 3   Leo and help him. I still remember I 4 to show him around the school. We found we both enjoyed playing badminton, so we started to play it after school every day. I also helped him with his Chinese 5 , and he helped me with my German in return. Leo is a very good listener. He always listens to me 6 and nods when I share my 7 with him. He never tells a 8 and is very honest. We soon became best friends.

I still remember the day when I first met my best friend, Daniel. It was the first week of Grade 7. I was new in the school and felt very lonely. I didn’t know anyone and I was too shy to talk. During the lunch break, I sat alone in the corner of the dining hall. Then a boy came over with two apples in his hands. “Hi, I’m Daniel. Would you like one?” he said with a warm 1 . I was so moved that I almost cried. From that day on, we became good friends. Daniel is 2 than me in many ways. He is more outgoing, so he always encourages me to join different clubs. With his help, I have made many other friends. He is also very honest— he never 3 others my secrets. Whenever I am in trouble, he is the first person to give me a hand. Of course, we don’t always 4 with each other. Once we had a big argument about which team was better. We didn’t talk for two days. But later, Daniel came to me and said sincerely, “I’m sorry. Our friendship is more important than a football match.” His words made me laugh. We soon made up. Now Daniel is 5 friend in my life. He has taught me that a true friend is not 6 who is always with you, but someone who truly cares about you. When you are happy, he 7 your joy. When you are sad, he gives you comfort. Friendship is like a garden. If we take good care of it, it will 8 beautiful flowers. I am 9 to have Daniel as my friend. I will value our friendship 10 and make it last forever. 1．A．smile B．voice C．sound D．noise 2．A．bad B．better C．best D．worse 3．A．tells B．talks C．says D．speaks 4．A．agree B．share C．compare D．fight 5．A．good B．better C．the best D．best 6．A．someone B．anyone C．everyone D．no one 7．A．takes B．shares C．loses D．hides 8．A．grow B．give C．bring D．take 9．A．sorry B．happy C．afraid D．ready 10．A．never B．seldom C．forever D．hardly 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者与好友Daniel的友谊故事，阐述了真正的友谊的含义，表达了作者对这份友谊的珍惜之情。 1．句意：“嗨，我是Daniel。你想要一个吗？”他带着温暖的微笑说道。 根据“with a warm”及Daniel友好地递苹果的语境可知，此处指面带“微笑”。smile“微笑”符合语境。voice“嗓音”；sound“声音”和noise“噪音”与语境不符。 2．句意：Daniel在很多方面比我更好。 根据“than”可知，此处应用比较级，排除选项A和C。结合后文的“outgoing”和“With his help”等正面描述可知，此处是better“更好的”。worse“更差的”与“更外向”的语境不符。 3．句意：他非常诚实——他从不告诉别人我的秘密。 “others my secrets”是双宾语结构，根据语境，此处考查固定短语tell sb. sth.，意为“告诉某人某事”，因此，此处tells“告诉”符合语境。排除talks“交谈”；says“说”和speaks“说”。 4．句意：当然，我们并不总是彼此同意。 根据后文“had a big argument”可知，此处指意见不一致，agree with sb.意为“同意某人”，是固定短语。排除share“分享”；compare“比较”和fight“打架”。 5．句意：现在Daniel是我生命中最好的朋友。 根据“in my life”可知，此处用最高级，best“最好的”是形容词最高级，形容词的最高级前要加the，因此，此处应填the best。排除good“好的”；better“更好的”和best“最好的”。 6．句意：真正的朋友不是那个总是和你在一起的人，而是真正关心你的人。 根据后文“but someone”可知，此处应用someone，构成not someone…but someone…“不是……，而是……”。排除anyone“任何人”；everyone“每个人”和no one“没有人”。 7．句意：当你快乐时，他分享你的喜悦。 根据友谊真谛及后文的“give you comfort”可知，朋友间应“分享”喜怒哀乐，shares“分享”符合语境。takes“拿走”；loses“失去”和hides“隐藏”与“好朋友间互相分享”的语境不符。 8．句意：如果我们好好照顾它，它将长出美丽的花朵。 根据“Friendship is like a garden.”可知，主语“it指代前文提到的“garden”，根据常识，花园里植物会“生长”出花朵，因此，grow“生长”符合语境。give“给”；bring“带来”和take“带走”与语境不符。 9．句意：我很开心有Daniel作为我的朋友。 根据“to have Daniel as my friend”可知，此处考查固定结构be happy to do sth.，意为“开心做某事”。sorry“抱歉”；afraid“害怕的”和ready“准备”与“拥有好朋友”的语境不符 10．句意：我将永远珍惜我们的友谊，让它持续永久。 根据“make it last forever”可知，此处指“永远”珍惜彼此的友谊，forever“永远”符合语境。never“从不”；seldom“很少”和hardly“几乎不”与“让友谊持久”的语境不符。 阅读以下语篇，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There was once a boy called Jack who loved to make a lot of friends.

Are you having a hard time 1 all of them? Well, perhaps you can try out the Method of Loci. “Loci” means “locations” in Latin. When you use this method, you 2 a place in your mind, like your house or school. You then put words or numbers in different places inside it. As you walk through this place in your mind, you can recall all the 3 you put there. Why does it work? Because people are better at remembering 4 than words or lists. You can try remembering π (3.141592653) using the Method of Loci. The first 5 is to imagine a home. The house number is 314. On the doorstep, there is one box. You pick it up and find that it has come from your 59-year-old uncle. Now, you open the door. There, you see 6 welcome mats (门垫). Six pairs of shoes have been placed on them. On the wall, there are five pegs (挂钩) with three coats hanging off them. What about a long 7 ? You can imagine where each thing goes inside your fridge. When you go shopping, just “look” inside your “ 8 ” and take what you need. World record holders in memory competitions often say that anyone can 9 and use the Method of Loci and become a “memory master”. Are you 10 to try this method? Find out whether it can help you remember all the new words in your textbook! 1．A．pronouncing B．remembering C．translating D．understanding 2．A．believe B．create C．fight D．invent 3．A．events B．information C．news D．tools 4．A．details B．facts C．names D．places 5．A．case B．mistake C．rule D．step 6．A．two B．three C．four D．five 7．A．email address B．phone number C．shopping list D．word list 8．A．car B．hand C．mind D．kitchen 9．A．learn B．suggest C．finish D．decide 10．A．able B．afraid C．ready D．used 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．D 6．A 7．C 8．C 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为“位置记忆法”的记忆技巧。通过在脑海中想象熟悉的地点，并将需要记忆的信息放置其中，能帮助人们轻松记住单词、数字或购物清单等。 1．句意：你是否很难记住它们？ 根据后文介绍的“位置记忆法”可知，此处讨论的是记忆生词的困难，可知remembering表示“记住”符合语境。pronouncing发音，translating翻译，understanding理解，均不符合主题。 2．句意：当你使用这种方法时，你在脑海中创造一个地方，比如你的家或学校。 根据“a place in your mind”可知，是在脑海中构建或想象出一个地方，create表示“创造”符合语境。believe相信，fight抗争，invent发明（多指发明实物、机器，不搭配虚拟空间），均不匹配。 3．句意：当你在脑海中走过这个地方时，你可以回想起你放在那里的所有信息。 根据前文“put words or numbers”可知，单词或数字属于信息（information），可知information符合语境。其他选项不能准确概括单词和数字。 4．句意：因为人们更擅长记住地点而不是单词或列表。 根据前文“‘Loci’ means ‘locations’”以及在脑海中想象一个地方的做法，可知这种方法有效是因为人们对地点记忆更深刻。places表示“地点”符合句意。events事件，news新闻，tools工具符，与“位置记忆法”的核心原理无关。 5．句意：第一步是想象一个家。 根据后文详细描述的想象过程，可知这里是在介绍使用该记忆法的第一步，step表示“步骤”符合语境。case案例，mistake错误，rule规则，不符合介绍操作流程的语境。 6．句意：在那里，你看到两块迎宾地毯。 根据前文“remembering π（3.141592653）”以及已经出现的数字314、1、59，可知接下来的数字应该是two，对应两块地毯。three，four，five不符合圆周率的数字顺序。 7．句意：一份长长的购物清单怎么样？ 根据后文“When you go shopping”可知，此处举例的是去购物时需要记住的购物清单。shopping list表示“购物清单”符合句意。email address邮箱地址，phone number手机号，word list单词表，不匹配购物场景。 8．句意：当你去购物时，只需“看”一下你的“脑海”并拿走你需要的东西。 根据前文“in your mind”可知，这种记忆法是在脑海中进行的，所以购物时是回想脑海中的画面。mind表示“脑海”符合句意。car汽车，hand手，kitchen厨房，逻辑不连贯。 9．句意：记忆比赛的世界纪录保持者经常说，任何人都可以学习并使用位置记忆法，成为“记忆高手”。 根据语境，这种记忆方法是任何人都可以去学习和掌握的，learn表示“学习”符合语境。suggest建议，finish完成，decide决定，无法搭配方法。 10．句意：你准备好尝试这种方法了吗？ 根据后文“Find out whether it can help you...”可知，作者是在鼓励读者去尝试，固定搭配be ready to do sth.（准备好做某事）符合语境。ready表示“准备好的”符合用法。be able to do能够做（前面已有 can，重复冲突），afraid 害怕，used习惯，语义不符。 There is one lesson I learned when I was very young. Can you guess what it is? Not knowing a single word of 1 , I started school at the age of four. I felt 2 because I couldn’t make friends with other kids. Maybe I was 3 , so I never got used to talking with others. I only knew Spanish, and English is just a mixture (混合) of sounds. When the teacher spoke English, the 4 became faster and faster and then became a tornado (龙卷风) ripping 5 my mind. I was 6 to understand. I got so confused (困惑的) and I didn’t know what to do. I sometimes felt like 7 . Looking at me gently, Mum told me to be 8 . Learning takes time and effort. She encouraged me not to give up. To make learning 9 , Mum sang English songs with me and told me stories in English. She helped me to practice speaking English every day. I started to find English full of fun. The next year, I met my friend Jack. He didn’t know English like me in the beginning, so I started to offer him help. His little progress really brought me a small sense of 10 . He was happy to speak English 11 he felt it was very boring at first. In this way, we went on learning more and more every year, and now we are both very good English 12 . I also began to teach my younger sisters since I didn’t want them to feel isolated (孤立的) and shy as I did. This year, I am in the eighth grade and have got straight A’s in every class since kindergarten. What makes me so excellent? I never 13 . Now, I am learning Japanese. It may be 14 difficult, but I will keep learning it. 15 is difficult in the world if you put your heart into it. 1．A．French B．English C．Vietnamese D．Spanish 2．A．happy B．funny C．calm D．lonely 3．A．friendly B．shy C．smart D．cheerful 4．A．sentences B．stories C．articles D．words 5．A．outside B．across C．through D．beside 6．A．unusual B．unhealthy C．unable D．uncomfortable 7．A．crying B．laughing C．fighting D．leaving 8．A．patient B．brave C．trustworthy D．honest 9．A．clear B．perfect C．important D．interesting 10．A．achievement B．humour C．support D．direction 11．A．so B．though C．unless D．or 12．A．speakers B．listeners C．writers D．singers 13．A．cheer up B．pick up C．take up D．give up 14．A．a number of B．a bit of C．a little bit D．a few 15．A．Nothing B．Something C．Everything D．Anything 【答案】 1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．C 7．A 8．A 9．D 10．A 11．B 12．A 13．D 14．C 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了“我”从四岁起克服语言障碍、坚持学习英语并取得优异成绩的经历，传递了“只要用心，没有什么是困难的”的道理。 1．句意：四岁上学时，我连一个英语单词都不懂。 根据后文“I only know Spanish, and English is just a mixture (混合) of sounds.”可知，作者只会西班牙语，对英语完全陌生，因此应选 English“英语”。French“法语”、Vietnamese“越南语”、Spanish“西班牙语”均与后文语境矛盾。 2．句意：我感到很孤独，因为我无法和其他孩子交朋友。 根据“couldn’t make friends with other kids”可知，无法交友会带来孤独感，应选lonely“孤独的”。happy“开心的”、funny“有趣的”、calm“平静的”均不符合无法交友的消极语境。 3．句意：也许我很害羞，所以我从不习惯和别人说话。 根据“never got used to talking with others”可知，不习惯与人交谈通常源于性格害羞，应选shy“害羞的”。friendly“友好的”、smart“聪明的”、cheerful“开朗的”均与不爱说话的行为矛盾。 4．句意：当老师说英语时，单词变得越来越快，然后像龙卷风一样席卷我的大脑。 根据上下文，老师讲英语时，最直接让作者困惑的是单个的语言单位——单词，应选words“单词”。sentences“句子”、stories“故事”、articles“文章”不符合“听不懂基础语言”的语境。 5．句意：当老师说英语时，单词变得越来越快，然后像龙卷风一样席卷我的大脑。 根据“a tornado ripping ____ my mind”的语境，龙卷风式的冲击是“穿过”大脑内部，应选through“穿过（内部）”。outside“在外面”、across“横穿（表面）”、beside“在旁边”均无法体现龙卷风的穿透感。 6．句意：我无法理解（老师说的话）。 根据前文描述，作者完全听不懂老师的英语，因此是“无法理解”，应选unable“无法”。unusual“不寻常的”、unhealthy“不健康的”、uncomfortable“不舒服的”均不符合“听不懂语言”的核心困境。 7．句意：有时我想哭。 根据“confused and didn’t know what to do”的无助情绪，最直接的反应是想哭，应选crying“哭”。laughing“笑”、fighting“打架”、leaving“离开”均与无助困惑的情绪不符。 8．句意：妈妈温柔地看着我，告诉我要有耐心。 根据后文“Learning takes time and effort.”可知，妈妈强调学习需要时间，因此劝作者要有耐心，应选patient“有耐心的”。brave“勇敢的”、trustworthy“可信的”、honest“诚实的”均与“学习需要时间”的语境无关。 9．句意：为了让学习变得有趣，妈妈和我一起唱英文歌，给我讲英文故事。 根据后文“I started to find English full of fun.”可知，妈妈的目的是让学习变得有趣，应选interesting“有趣的”。clear“清晰的”、perfect“完美的”、important“重要的”均不符合“通过唱歌讲故事让学习有乐趣”的语境。 10．句意：他的一点点进步真的给我带来了小小的成就感。 根据“offered him help”和“His little progress”可知，帮助他人取得进步会带来成就感，应选achievement“成就”。humour“幽默”、support“支持”、direction“方向”均与帮助他人进步的结果无关。 11．句意：尽管他一开始觉得说英语很无聊，但他还是很乐意说英语。 根据前后句的转折关系：“乐意开口说”与“一开始觉得无聊”形成让步转折，应选though“尽管”。so“所以”表因果、unless“除非”表条件、or“或者”表选择，均不符合逻辑。 12．句意：这样，我们每年都学越来越多，现在我们都是英语说得很好的人了。 根据前文“speak out English”和“learning more and more every year”可知，两人最终都成了英语说得很好的人，应选speakers“说某种语言的人”。listeners“听众”、writers“作家”、singers“歌手”均与“说英语”的语境无关。 13．句意：我从不放弃。 根据前文妈妈鼓励“not to give up”和作者一直坚持学习的经历，核心原因是从不放弃，应选give up“放弃”。cheer up“振作起来”、pick up“捡起/学会”、take up“开始从事”均与“坚持学习取得成功”的核心无关。 14．句意：日语可能有点难，但我会继续学下去。 根据语境，此处修饰形容词difficult，应选a little bit“有点儿”，可直接修饰形容词。a number of “许多”修饰可数名词复数、a bit of “一点”修饰不可数名词、a few“一些”修饰可数名词复数，均无法修饰形容词difficult。 15．句意：世上无难事，只怕有心人。 根据全文主旨，作者用自己的经历证明只要用心，没有什么困难的事，应选Nothing“没有什么”。Something“某事”、Everything“一切”、Anything“任何事”均不符合“用心则无难事”的核心观点。 Where you study can make a big difference in how well you learn. Something can affect (影响) your learning ability, like seating, light and even 1 . Students in a good environment are 2 better at learning. So, it’s important to think about things around you and find 3 to get a good study environment. It is important to feel comfortable. Being comfortable can help you stay focused (集中精力) longer, which will help you to 4 more and more useful information. 5 , it’s important to think about the seats when you study. Choose a comfortable chair that gives you the right 6 to keep a good posture (姿势) while studying. Remember, if you’re not comfortable, you might 7 more easily and this can affect how well you learn. In environments with enough natural light, students are going to learn better. Natural light has also been shown to reduce (减轻) feelings of 8 and anxiety (焦虑). Try to make good use of natural lighting by putting 9 near windows to get enough sunlight during the day. You should try to stop using fluorescent lamps (荧光灯), because these can bring you uncomfortable light and make you feel tired 10 . Colours can affect how you feel. Using yellow in study areas is a great idea. Yellow is a lively colour that can help you stay interested while studying. 1．A．teachers B．books C．smell D．colours 2．A．never B．slowly C．usually D．badly 3．A．ways B．keys C．friends D．messages 4．A．share B．provide C．organize D．remember 5．A．Until B．Besides C．After D．Since 6．A．order B．answer C．support D．direction 7．A．get bored B．stay cool C．keep quiet D．become famous 8．A．hope B．worry C．pride D．excitement 9．A．books B．desks C．clothes D．computers 10．A．slower B．faster C．most D．less 【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．B 10．B 【导语】本文探讨学习环境对学习效果的影响，包括光线、座位、颜色等因素，并提出改善学习环境的建议。 1．句意：有些事物会影响你的学习能力，比如座位、光线，甚至颜色。 teachers老师；books书；smell气味；colours颜色。根据“Colours can affect how you feel.”可知，此处指颜色。故选D。 2．句意：在良好环境中的学生通常更擅长学习。 never从不；slowly缓慢地；usually通常；badly糟糕地。结合常识和语境，良好的学习环境对学习有积极促进作用，“通常更擅长学习” 符合客观规律。故选C。 3．句意：所以，关注身边的事物并找到获得良好学习环境的方法很重要。 ways方法；keys钥匙；friends朋友；messages信息。根据“to get a good study environment”可知，此处需表达“实现良好学习环境的途径”，“ways to do sth”表示“做某事的方法”，符合搭配和语境。故选A。 4．句意：舒适能帮你更长久地集中注意力，这会帮助你记住越来越多有用的信息。 share分享；provide提供；organize组织；remember记住。集中精力学习的核心目的之一是“记住信息”，D项符合。故选D。 5．句意：此外，学习时考虑座位也很重要。 Until直到；Besides此外；After在……之后；Since自从。前文已论述“舒适对学习的重要性”，此处进一步补充“座位（影响舒适的具体因素）”的重要性，表递进关系，“Besides”符合递进逻辑。故选B。 6．句意：选一把舒适的椅子，它能给你适当的支撑，让你在学习时保持良好姿势。 order顺序；answer答案；support支撑；direction方向。椅子的功能是为身体提供“支撑”以维持正确坐姿，C项符合。故选C。 7．句意：记住，如果你不舒服，可能会更容易感到无聊，这会影响你的学习效果。 get bored感到无聊；stay cool保持冷静；keep quiet保持安静；become famous成名。根据“you’re not comfortable”以及“this can affect how well you learn”可知，“不舒服”会让人难以专注，进而容易产生“无聊”的情绪，从而导致学习状态差。故选A。 8．句意：自然光也被证明能减轻担忧和焦虑情绪。 hope希望；worry担忧；pride自豪；excitement兴奋。根据“and anxiety（焦虑）”可知，此处需填与“焦虑”并列的负面情绪，“worry（担忧）” 符合逻辑。故选B。 9．句意：尽量充分利用自然光，把书桌放在窗边，以便白天获得足够的阳光。 books书；desks书桌；clothes衣服；computers电脑。学习时主要在 “书桌” 前进行，将书桌放在窗边才能让学习者在学习时接触自然光，B项符合。故选B。 10．句意：你应该尽量停止使用荧光灯，因为它们会给你带来不舒服的光线，让你更快地感到疲倦。 slower更慢；faster更快；most最；less更少的。此处与自然光相比较，应用比较级形式，根据“You should try to stop using fluorescent lamps (荧光灯), because these can bring you uncomfortable light”可知，此处介绍荧光灯的缺点，应是让你更快地感到疲倦。故选B。 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Every October, my neighbourhood has a Halloween costume contest (万圣节服装比赛). This year, when my neighbour Ollie and I raced to the notice board to find out the theme(主题), we found that the theme was kind of, well, themeless. “‘Be 1 ’” I said, reading the notice board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie got off his skateboard to get a closer look.“You’re right,” he agreed. “Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I said. “Maybe, since we don’t know exactly what we want to be, we should start by choosing cool costume-making 2 .” “I’ve got it.” Ollie said, picking up some leaves. “Really?” I said. “You’re going to make a costume out of leaves?” “Why not?” he said and 3 up some more leaves. “They’re totally free, and I think that no one will be a tree as great as me.” “Don’t you mean, as great as we?” I laughed, 4 him in collecting those colorful autumn leaves. It took us hours to get ready the next morning. When it was time for us to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty 5 . However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling.

When I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the 7 thing “This is the worst.” he said as he moved his body. “I feel like I’m 8 with a million mosquito (蚊子) bites.” “Me too,” I said back. “I have to get out of this costume now.” At that moment, Mr. Lee called for everyone’s 9 .“The winner of our ‘Be Creative’ costume contest is these two magnificent trees” he announced. “Wonderful work.” said our neighbour, Mrs. Nishikawa. “I especially liked your 10 that made it look as if your leaves were rustling (沙沙响动) in the wind.” 1．A．interesting B．creative C．humorous D．thoughtful 2．A．suggestions B．inventions C．materials D．products 3．A．gave B．put C．cleaned D．picked 4．A．protecting B．respecting C．recording D．joining 5．A．relaxed B．worried C．bored D．curious 6．A．weaker B．better C．warmer D．stronger 7．A．right B．wrong C．same D．different 8．A．covered B．provided C．filled D．mixed 9．A．interest B．attention C．guess D．name 10．A．dance B．joke C．deal D．game 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A 6．D 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和邻居奥利参加万圣节服装比赛，比赛主题为“有创意”，他们用树叶制作了服装，虽然过程中感到不舒服，但最终他们的创意得到了认可并赢得了比赛。 1．句意：“要有创意，”我念着公告板上的内容。 interesting有趣的；creative有创意的；humorous幽默的；thoughtful深思的。根据下文“Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!”可知，主题为“有创意的”。故选B。 2．句意：也许，既然我们不知道我们到底想成为什么，我们应该从选择很酷的服装制作材料开始。 suggestions建议；inventions发明；materials材料；products产品。根据下文“You’re going to make a costume out of leaves?”可知，他们要选择服装制作材料。故选C。 3．句意：“为什么不呢？”他说着，又捡起了一些树叶。 gave给；put放；cleaned打扫；picked捡起。根据上文“picking up some leaves”和“up some more leaves”可知，他又捡起了一些树叶。故选D。 4．句意：“你难道不是想说，和我们一样伟大吗？”我笑着，和他一起收集那些五颜六色的秋叶。 protecting保护；respecting尊重；recording记录；joining加入。根据“him in collecting those colorful autumn leaves.”可知，作者和他一起收集树叶，join sb in doing sth“加入某人做某事”。故选D。 5．句意：当轮到我们在评判区排队时，我感到相当放松。 relaxed放松的；worried担心的；bored无聊的；curious好奇的。根据“However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling.”可知，前后句为转折关系，此处指作者开始排队时，感到相当放松。故选A。 6．句意：当我穿着这身服装站在那里时，这种感觉越来越强烈，直到我感到非常不舒服，我不得不抓挠。 weaker更弱的；better更好的；warmer更温暖的；stronger更强烈的。根据“until I was so uncomfortable, I just had to scratch (挠).”可知，作者感到越来越不舒服，这种感觉越来越强烈。故选D。 7．句意：当我看着奥利时，他也在做同样的事情。 right正确的；wrong错误的；same相同的；different不同的。根据“This is the worst.”可知，奥利和作者一样，也感到不舒服。故选C。 8．句意：我觉得自己被无数蚊虫叮咬覆盖了。 covered覆盖；provided提供；filled充满；mixed混合。根据“with a million mosquito (蚊子) bites.”可知，作者感觉自己被无数蚊虫叮咬覆盖了。故选A。 9．句意：就在那时，李老师叫大家注意。 interest兴趣；attention注意；guess猜测；name名字。根据“The winner of our ‘Be Creative’ costume contest is these two magnificent trees”可知，李老师叫大家注意，宣布比赛结果。故选B。 10．句意：我特别喜欢你们的舞蹈，让你们的叶子看起来像是在风中沙沙作响。 dance舞蹈；joke玩笑；deal交易；game游戏。根据“that made it look as if your leaves were rustling (沙沙响动) in the wind.”可知，此处指他们的舞蹈让叶子看起来像是在风中沙沙作响。故选A。 “Poor Grandma!

This year, when my neighbour Ollie and I raced to the notice board to find out the theme(主题), we found that the theme was kind of, well, themeless. “‘Be 1 ’” I said, reading the notice board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie got off his skateboard to get a closer look.“You’re right,” he agreed. “Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I said. “Maybe, since we don’t know exactly what we want to be, we should start by choosing cool costume-making 2 .” “I’ve got it.” Ollie said, picking up some leaves. “Really?” I said. “You’re going to make a costume out of leaves?” “Why not?” he said and 3 up some more leaves. “They’re totally free, and I think that no one will be a tree as great as me.” “Don’t you mean, as great as we?” I laughed, 4 him in collecting those colorful autumn leaves. It took us hours to get ready the next morning. When it was time for us to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty 5 . However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling. As I was standing there in the costume, the feeling got 6 until I was so uncomfortable, I just had to scratch (挠). When I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the 7 thing “This is the worst.” he said as he moved his body. “I feel like I’m 8 with a million mosquito (蚊子) bites.” “Me too,” I said back. “I have to get out of this costume now.” At that moment, Mr. Lee called for everyone’s 9 .“The winner of our ‘Be Creative’ costume contest is these two magnificent trees” he announced. “Wonderful work.” said our neighbour, Mrs. Nishikawa. “I especially liked your 10 that made it look as if your leaves were rustling (沙沙响动) in the wind.” 1．A．interesting B．creative C．humorous D．thoughtful 2．A．suggestions B．inventions C．materials D．products 3．A．gave B．put C．cleaned D．picked 4．A．protecting B．respecting C．recording D．joining 5．A．relaxed B．worried C．bored D．curious 6．A．weaker B．better C．warmer D．stronger 7．A．right B．wrong C．same D．different 8．A．covered B．provided C．filled D．mixed 9．A．interest B．attention C．guess D．name 10．A．dance B．joke C．deal D．game “Poor Grandma!

Let’s make a terrarium for Grandma, so she can enjoy a garden in her house.” Amy agreed, 5 the two of them found the magazine which told them how to make a terrarium and showed it to their mother. She helped Amy and Mark find a large clear glass bottle. After a trip to the garden shop to buy the materials, they began to 6 the terrarium. First, they put some drainage material (排水材料) at the bottom of the bottle. This would keep the soil (土壤) from getting too 7 . Next, they added some dark, rich soil. Now they were ready to add the plants. Amy chose two plants at the garden shop. One was tall with long thin green leaves. The other was short with bright pink flowers. To make the terrarium even more 8 , Amy placed rocks of different colours and bright green moss (苔藓) around the plants. 9 , they watered the plants. When Amy and Mark showed Grandma her new terrarium, she was so 10 . Now she had a beautiful little garden to enjoy right inside her house. 1．A．leg B．arm C．head D．back 2．A．rest B．drink C．read D．work 3．A．caring about B．waiting for C．looking through D．preparing for 4．A．idea B．dream C．story D．question 5．A．but B．so C．after D．because 6．A．fill B．tidy C．buy D．build 7．A．hot B．wet C．hard D．dirty 8．A．useful B．helpful C．colourful D．expensive 9．A．Firstly B．Instead C．Finally D．However 10．A．angry B．helpless C．unhappy D．excited 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
