第9空填（）。A.addedB.thoughtC.declaredD.assumed答案:A解析:在故事中，蘇格拉底在詢問年輕人是否感到幸福后，他們回答“我們更幸福了！”緊接著，蘇格拉底做出了進一步的陳述或說明。根據(jù)語境，“added”表示蘇格拉底對他們的幸福感進行了補充或附加說明，符合文意。而“thought”表示思考，“declared”表示正式宣布，“assumed”表示假設(shè)，均不符合此處語境。因此，第9空應(yīng)填“added”。4、Theguestsaskedforthree（）.A.cupsofteaB.cupsofteasC.glassesofteasD.glassoftea答案:A解析:這道題考查名詞的數(shù)量表達。在英語中，“tea”表示“茶”時是不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，所以B、C選項錯誤?！癱up”意為“杯”，“glass”意為“玻璃杯”，“threecupsoftea”表示“三杯茶”，是常見的正確表達，A選項符合。而D選項“glass”用單數(shù)且“tea”錯誤，所以這道題選A。5、從下列選項中找出其括號部分與所給單詞括號部分讀音相同的選項。（）(a)cheA.(a)dditionB.(a)museC.m(a)pD.gr(a)de答案:D解析:這道題考查單詞中元音字母“a”的讀音。“che”中“a”發(fā)/e?/音。A選項“addition”中“a”發(fā)/?/音；B選項“amuse”中“a”發(fā)/?/音；C選項“map”中“a”發(fā)/?/音；D選項“grade”中“a”發(fā)/e?/音，與所給單詞讀音相同。6、---WouldyouliketocometothedinnerpartyhereonSaturday?---Thankyou.I'dloveto,（）I'llbeoutoftownattheweekend.A.becauseB.andC.soD.but答案:D解析:這道題考查連詞的用法。在英語中，A選項“because”表原因；B選項“and”表并列；C選項“so”表結(jié)果?；卮鹫呦日f愿意去，接著說周末不在城里，存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系?！癰ut”表轉(zhuǎn)折，符合語境，所以選D。7、Dangerous

station.D.All

above

mentioned.答案:D解析:在這篇短文中，“dangerousdriving”之所以被稱為危險駕駛，原因有多個方面。首先，車上的確有一個危險的竊賊，這是危險的直接來源之一。其次，Hart先生為了盡快將竊賊交給警察，不惜違反交通規(guī)則，采取了危險駕駛的行為來吸引警察的注意。最后，如果竊賊從車站逃脫，將會對社會構(gòu)成更大的威脅，因此迅速而果斷的行動是必要的，盡管這導(dǎo)致了危險駕駛。綜上所述，選項D“以上都正確”準確地概括了“dangerousdriving”的多個原因。8、Bothhisparentslooksad.Maybethey（）whathappenedtohim.A.knewB.haveknownC.mustknowD.willknow答案:B解析:這道題考查現(xiàn)在完成時的用法。在英語語法中，現(xiàn)在完成時強調(diào)過去發(fā)生的動作對現(xiàn)在造成的影響。Bothhisparentslooksad表明父母現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)，他們知道孩子發(fā)生的事對現(xiàn)在的心情產(chǎn)生了影響。A選項knew是一般過去時，只表示過去的動作；C選項mustknow是肯定推測；D選項willknow是一般將來時。綜合來看，B選項haveknown最符合語境。9、從下面單詞中找一個括號部分讀音不同的單詞。（）A.n(o)dB.pr(o)gressC.t(o)picD.m(o)del答案:B解析:這道題考查單詞中元音字母“o”的讀音。在A、C、D選項中，“o”都發(fā)/?/的音。而B選項“progress”中“o”發(fā)/??/的音。所以通過對元音發(fā)音規(guī)則的了解，能判斷出讀音不同的是B選項。10、Computer

第(5)選（）A.aboutB.forC.byD.with答案:D解析:在這個句子中，需要選擇一個介詞來描述DavidJones對他的錢應(yīng)該如何處理。選項D“with”在這里表示“與……有關(guān)”或“用”，符合語境，即DavidJones需要處理他的錢，也就是處理與錢有關(guān)的事務(wù)。而選項A“about”通常表示關(guān)于某事的信息或討論；選項B“for”通常表示目的或?qū)ο?；選項C“by”通常表示通過某種方式或手段。這些選項在此處均不符合語境。因此，正確答案是D。11、Computer

第(14)選（）A.thoughtB.determinedC.consideredD.decided答案:C解析:根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，DavidJones知道自己想做什么，并且從未對留在學校這一選項進行過考慮。consider意為“考慮”，符合文意。thought意為“認為”，通常用于表達某種觀點或看法；determined意為“決定”，表示堅決的意志或抉擇；decided意為“決定”，通常用于描述已經(jīng)做出的選擇。在這里，“consider”最能準確表達DavidJones從未把留在學校作為選項來考慮這一事實。12、—Idofeelalittle（）aboutmakingaspeech.-Takeiteasy.Themoreyouprepare,thebetteryouwillfeel.A.angryB.disappointedC.nervousD.bored答案:C解析:這道題考查對單詞含義的理解。在面臨演講時，會產(chǎn)生的情緒通常是緊張。A選項“angry”表示生氣；B選項“disappointed”指失望；C選項“nervous”意為緊張；D選項“bored”是無聊的意思。根據(jù)語境，準備演講時感到的應(yīng)是緊張，所以選C。13、Todaywasaveryimportantday.Franceplayed（1）Senegal(塞內(nèi)加爾)intheopeningmatchoftheWorldCup.Soccerfanswerevery（2）watchingthematchonTV.Toourgreatsurprise,Francewas（3）.Todayfootballhasbecomevery（4）inChinaaftera（5）wait,“ChinaisintheWorldCupforthefirsttime,（6）weshouldsupportthem!”Saidsomepeople.Inourschoolmanystudentsenjoy（7）it.My（8）andIoftengotothefootballfieldafterclass.Thisafternoontherewasa（9）footballmatchinourschool.（10）teamplayedagainstNo.1MiddleSchool,（11）theywereallverybigandstrong,itwasa（12）gamebetweenthetwoteamswiththeresult0-0lasttime.Todayourschoolplayedmuch（13）.Inthefirsthalfofthematch（14）teamkickedagoal,butinthesecond,LiMingfromourschoolkickedagoal.Wewon1-0,atlast.I'mso（15）.Ican'tgettosleeptonight.

第(1)選（）A.luckyB.pleasedC.unhappyD.worried答案:B解析:在原文中，句子描述的是法國隊在世界杯揭幕戰(zhàn)中與塞內(nèi)加爾隊的比賽，需要用一個詞來描述這種比賽關(guān)系。選項A“l(fā)ucky”意為“幸運的”，不符合語境；選項B“pleased”雖然通常表示“高興的”，但在此處作為play的過去分詞played的變形，與介詞against搭配使用，表示“與……比賽”，符合語境；選項C“unhappy”意為“不高興的”，不符合語境；選項D“worried”意為“擔心的”，也不符合語境。因此，正確答案是B，表示“法國隊與塞內(nèi)加爾隊比賽”。14、Galileowas（）Italianphysicistandastronomerwhoinvented（）telescope.A.a;aB.the;theC.an;aD.an;the答案:D解析:這道題考查冠詞的用法。Italian以元音音素開頭，要用an。“發(fā)明了望遠鏡”，這里是特指，要用the。在英語語法中，不定冠詞a/an用于泛指，the用于特指。Galileo發(fā)明的望遠鏡是特定的，所以用the，而Italian前用an表示“一個”，答案選D。15、NEW―TheDiningIn,DiningOutsection,Wednesday,abanquetofgreatmealsyoucanmakeyourself,orderuporeatout.

HomeD.Weekend答案:D解析:根據(jù)文本內(nèi)容，Weekend部分在周五提供關(guān)于電影、演出、藝術(shù)展覽以及室內(nèi)外娛樂的更多想法。因此，關(guān)于電影的詳細信息可以在Weekend部分找到。16、After20yearsofmarriage,mywifewantedmetotakeanotherwomanoutto（1）.Shesaid,“Iloveyou,butIknowthisotherwomanlovesyoutoo.”Theotherwomanthatmywifewantedmetovisitwasmymother,whohasbeenawidow(寡婦)for19years,butmybusylifehadmadeitimpossibletovisither（2）.ThatnightIcalledto（3）heroutfordinner.“What'swrong?Areyouwell?”she'asked.Mymotheristhetypeofwomanwhosuspectsthatalatenight（4）isasignofbadnews.“Ithoughtthatitwouldbepleasanttospendsometimewithyou,”I（5）.Shethoughtaboutitforamoment,and（6）.Duringthedinner,wehadanagreeableconversation—（7）extraordinarybutrecenteventsofeachother'slife.Beforewe（8）,shesaid,“I'llgooutwithyouagain,（9）onlyifyouletmeinviteyou.”Afewdays（10）,mymotherdiedofaheartattack.It（11）sosuddenlythatIdidn'thaveachancetodoanythingforher.Afewdaysafterthefuneral,Ireceivedanenvelopewithare-ceipt(收據(jù))fromthesameplacewheremotherandIhad（12）.Anattachednote（13）:“Ipaidthisbill（14）.Iwasn'tsurethatIcouldbethere;butnevertheless,Ipaidfortwo（15）一oneforyouandtheotherforyour（16）.Youwillneverknowwhatthatnightmeantforme.I（17）you,son.”Atthatmoment,I（18）theimportanceofsayingintime:“ILOVEYOU”.Giveyourfamilythe（19）theydeserve,becausesometimesthingscannotbe（20）till“someothertime”.

第16空填（）。A.motherB.familyC.wifeD.child答案:C解析:在文中，母親留下的字條中提到“Ipaidfortwo—oneforyouandtheotherforyour_____”，結(jié)合前文可知，作者與母親共進晚餐時，原本只有作者和母親兩人，但母親付了兩人的費用。考慮到文中還提到作者的妻子希望作者能多陪伴母親，以及后文強調(diào)及時表達對家人的愛的重要性，可以推斷這里的“theother”指的是作者的妻子，即選項C。母親這樣做可能是希望作者能意識到，除了她之外，作者還應(yīng)該多關(guān)心和陪伴妻子。17、Itwasover20yearago,IfirstmetMr.Andrews,myoldheadmaster.DuringtheWarIwasstudyingatschoolinthenorthofEngland.My（1）hadjustreturnedtoLondon,andtherewerenot（2）schoolsleftforchildren.Myfatherhadtogofromoneschooltoanother,tryingto（3）themtotakemeasapupil.Wehad（4）toalltheschoolsnearourhome,butnoonewouldtakeme（5）,wewenttoaschoolaboutfivekilometers（6）fromhome.Theheadmasterkeptuswaitingforatleast（7）.Icouldhearboysplayingontheplaygroundoutside.Whentheheadmaster'ssecretaryletus（8）hisoffice.Mr.Andrewssaid,“（9）doyouwanttocomehere?”Ihad（10）ofsayingsomethingaboutstudying,（11）nowIcouldn'trememberanything,onlythoughtoftheboysplayingoutside,“Idon'tknow（12）inLondon,”Isaid.“I'dliketoplaywith（13）boys.I'llreadalotofbooks,too.”“Allright,”Mr.Andrewssaid.“Wehaveoneseat（14）”Mytwoyearsatthatschoolwere（15）thehappiestofmylife.

第(2)選（）A.goodB.helpfulC.cheapD.enough答案:D解析:根據(jù)文章描述，作者的父親需要一所一所學校地去詢問，試圖讓他們接收作者作為學生，這表明當時可供選擇的學校數(shù)量不足。因此，選項D“enough”符合語境，表示學校數(shù)量不夠多。其他選項如“good”、“helpful”、“cheap”均無法準確反映文章所描述的情境。18、A:Hi,Jenny,I'mgoingtohaveapartyatmyhousenextweekend.(2)B:Sure.CanIhelpyouorganizeit?A:Yeah.I'llneedsomehelp.B:Howmanypeoplearecoming?A:(2)B:Well,whoareyougoingtoinvite?A:YouarethefirstpersonIinvited.(3)B:OK.Icanhelpyouwiththeinvitation.Whataboutthefood?A:Uh.Ididn'tthinkaboutthat.(4)B:Yeah,sure.Areyougoingtohaveanypartygames?A:(6)Canyouhelpmeorganizesome?B:Noproblem.Let'sthinkaboutthemtogether.

第（3）空填（）A.AndIhavealistofthenames.B.Wouldyouliketocome?C.Icancookdeliciousfood.D.Idon'tknow.Maybeabout10.答案:A解析:在對話中，A提到他是第一個邀請B的人，這表明他可能已經(jīng)有了初步的賓客名單，但還在進一步確定中。選項A“AndIhavealistofthenames.”符合這一情境，說明A已經(jīng)有了一些賓客的名字，但可能還需要繼續(xù)邀請其他人。選項B“Wouldyouliketocome?”不符合對話邏輯，因為B已經(jīng)被邀請。選項C“Icancookdeliciousfood.”與對話內(nèi)容無關(guān)。選項D“Idon'tknow.Maybeabout10.”雖然提到人數(shù)，但不符合對話的具體情境。19、A:Hello,I'mthereporterfromtheschoolnewspaper.Iknowyouaregoingtoleaveschool.(1)B:Yes,please.A:Howdoyoufeelnow?B:Excitedandabitsad.A:(2)B:Beforeleavingschool,I'mgoingtotakesomephotoswithmyteachersandclassmates.A:(3)B:I'mgoingtobeascientist,soI'llkeepworkinghardtomakemydreamcometrue.A:Whatwouldyouliketosaytoyourteachersandclassmates?B:I'dliketosay“Thanks”tothemforhelpingmealot.(4)A:(5)B:Youarewelcome.

第（1）空填（）A.Also,Ihopemyschoolwillbebetter.B.Whatareyougoingtodobeforeleavingschool?C.MayIaskyousomequestions?D.Whatareyougoingtobewhenyougrowup?答案:C解析:在對話中，A表明自己是學校報紙的記者，并提到知道B即將離開學校，接著詢問B的感受。在此情境下，A的下一句通常會是提出具體的問題以進行采訪。選項C“MayIaskyousomequestions?”（我可以問你一些問題嗎？）是合適的開場，為后續(xù)的采訪內(nèi)容做鋪墊。而其他選項，如A關(guān)于學校的希望、B離校前的打算、B長大后的職業(yè)，都在后續(xù)的對話中有所體現(xiàn)，但不適合作為此時A的提問。20、Dangerous
