第18空填（）。A.adaptB.replyC.explainD.apologize答案:C解析:根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，Kelly在作者的幫助下取得了顯著的進(jìn)步，這讓Kelly的講師非常高興。因此，講師讓Kelly向其他同學(xué)**解釋**（explain）她的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和進(jìn)步。adapt意為“適應(yīng)”，reply意為“回復(fù)”，apologize意為“道歉”，均不符合語境。2、Hello,thisisSmithLee.Who________?A.areyouB.isthatC.isitD.youare答案:B解析:這道題考查電話用語的特殊表達(dá)。在電話交流中，詢問“你是誰”常用“Whoisthat?”。A選項(xiàng)“areyou”用于面對面的詢問；C選項(xiàng)“isit”不符合電話用語習(xí)慣；D選項(xiàng)“youare”語序錯(cuò)誤。所以答案選B。3、TheGreens（）toFloridaforholidaynextweek.A.willbegoneB.havegoneC.aregoingD.isgoing答案:C解析:這道題考查一般將來時(shí)的用法。一般將來時(shí)有“will+動詞原形”和“begoingto+動詞原形”兩種結(jié)構(gòu)。TheGreens表示“格林一家人”，是復(fù)數(shù)，D選項(xiàng)可排除。A選項(xiàng)“willbegone”結(jié)構(gòu)錯(cuò)誤。B選項(xiàng)“havegone”表示去了未回。根據(jù)“nextweek”可知，C選項(xiàng)“aregoing”符合一般將來時(shí)且用于計(jì)劃、安排好的動作，所以選C。4、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(xué)校這一選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行過考慮。consider意為“考慮”，符合文意。thought意為“認(rèn)為”，通常用于表達(dá)某種觀點(diǎn)或看法；determined意為“決定”，表示堅(jiān)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(zhǔn)確表達(dá)DavidJones從未把留在學(xué)校作為選項(xiàng)來考慮這一事實(shí)。5、Lookatthatgirl（）nameisLucy.A.whoB.whoseC.whichD.whom答案:B解析:這道題考查定語從句關(guān)系詞的用法。定語從句中，先行詞是girl，與name存在所屬關(guān)系，“誰的名字”要用whose。A選項(xiàng)who指人，在從句中作主語；C選項(xiàng)which指物；D選項(xiàng)whom指人，在從句中作賓語。這里需要表示“那個(gè)女孩的名字”，所以選B。6、I'vestarteddrivingagain.Idrivealongaroad（1）12yearsagonearmyhome.AsIdrovetonight,I（2）KellyKellywasa（3）whenitwasconstructed.Sheandherbrotherwere（4）byherfatherafterhermotherpassedaway.Byherown（5）,shewasa（6）child,climbingoutofwindows,stayingoutdrinkingetc.Shestartedtosettleincollege.TheyearafterItaughther,a（7）thinghappened.ItwasaboutthistimeofyearandKelly'sdadwasabouttoturntothenewroad.Sincehewasnot（8）withit,hehadadeadlyaccident.Thelecturerssenthera（9）card.IwrotethatIwouldhelpherwithoneofthe6（10）shestillhadtocomplete.Iknewitwouldbedif-ficultforKellybutI（11）tohelpheranyway.AtthattimeIhadjust（12）mymarriageandwaslivinginrentedaccommodationalone.Thingswere（13）butIcommittedmyselftohelpingKelly.IbroughthertomyhomeandI（14）herthefullunit.Igothertocompletealltheassignmentsatmyhome（15）shecouldstayfocused.Kellymade（16）intheunitItaughther,whichfundamentallyhelpedraiseheroverallgrades.Kelly'slecturerwasso（17）withthisthatshegotKellyto（18）totherestoftheclass!AtlastKellycompletedhercourse.Iwassogladshedidn't.（19）.AfewyearsagoImetKelly.Shewaspushingapram(嬰兒車),herbabysleepingsoundly.It'stheleastshe（20）.

第5空填（）。A.willB.admissionC.designD.preference答案:B解析:在第5空中，根據(jù)原文“Byherownadmission，shewasawildchild…”可知，此處應(yīng)填“admission”。在這里，“admission”的意思是“承認(rèn)”或“自認(rèn)”，表示Kelly自己承認(rèn)或自認(rèn)自己曾經(jīng)是個(gè)頑皮的孩子。這一用法符合語境，因此選項(xiàng)B是正確答案。7、Jack'sgoodatdealingwithallkindsofdifficultthings,soI'msureofhis________todotheworkwell.A.abilityB.taskC.methodD.activity答案:A解析:這道題考查對詞匯含義的理解。“ability”意為“能力”；“task”是“任務(wù)”；“method”指“方法”；“activity”為“活動”。Jack擅長處理各種難題，所以能做好工作依靠的是他的“能力”。根據(jù)語境，“ability”最符合，能體現(xiàn)出對Jack做好工作的信心是基于他的能力。8、從下列選項(xiàng)中找出其括號部分與所給單詞括號部分讀音相同的選項(xiàng)。（）(c)almA.in(c)ludeB.repla(c)eC.so(c)ietyD.sin(c)ere答案:A解析:這道題考查單詞中字母組合的讀音?！癱alm”中“c”發(fā)音為[k]。A選項(xiàng)“include”中“c”也發(fā)[k]；B選項(xiàng)“replace”中“c”發(fā)[s]；C選項(xiàng)“society”中“c”發(fā)[?]；D選項(xiàng)“sincere”中“c”發(fā)[s]。所以答案選A，要準(zhǔn)確判斷單詞中字母組合的讀音才能做出正確選擇。9、Inafewyears'time,there________thousandsoftreesonthehill.A.willhaveB.willbeC.isgoingtohaveD.has答案:B解析:這道題考查therebe句型的將來時(shí)用法。在英語中，表示“某地有某物”用therebe句型，不用have。A、C選項(xiàng)都用了have，不符合語法。D選項(xiàng)has也不正確。將來時(shí)用“will+be”或“is/aregoingto+be”，B選項(xiàng)willbe符合therebe句型的將來時(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)，所以選B。10、Thereareavarietyoftechniquesthatcanbeusedtobringaboutsuccessinselling.Hereareafewthatareoftenmentionedby（1）salespeople.1.Findoutwhatyourcustomer'srealwantsandneedsare.Listenastheytellyouwhattheyareinterestedin.2.Knowallabout（2）andwhatitcandoforyourcustomer.Product（3）isa“must”inpersonalselling（4）itcreatescustomerconfidence,buildsenthusiasm,andmakesthesituationmore（5）.Layemphasisontheunique（6）ofyourproductoverothers.3.Takeaconfidentattitudein（7）yourproduct.Itismore（8）whenthesalespersonsays,“MayIhelpyou?”thanwhenheorshesays“Youwouldn'tliketoseeourmodel,wouldyou?”4.（9）yourselftodealwithobjections.Ifthecustomersaysthepriceistoohigh,you（10）reply,“Yes,theprice（11）alittlehigherthanyouplanned.However,actuallyyou'll（12）moneybecauseofhighqualityofthisproduct.”（13）whathappens,don'tdisagreewithyour（14）whenheorshesaysthepriceistoohigh.5.Usepraise（15）.

第(9)選（）A.PrepareB.AskC.ControlD.Allow答案:A解析:在原文中，“Prepareyourselftodealwithobjections”這句話直接指出了應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)“Prepare”。這句話的意思是“做好準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對反對意見”，強(qiáng)調(diào)了銷售人員在面對客戶提出的異議或反對意見時(shí)，需要提前做好準(zhǔn)備，以便能夠有效地應(yīng)對和解決這些問題。因此，A項(xiàng)“Prepare”是正確答案。11、Hisnewworkwasagreat（）,andheisa（）composer.A.success;successfulB.success;successC.succeed;successfullyD.successful;success答案:A解析:這道題考查“success”相關(guān)詞匯的用法。“success”是名詞，“successful”是形容詞?！癮great”后接名詞，所以第一空用“success”。第二空修飾“composer”要用形容詞，“successful”符合。綜合來看，A選項(xiàng)正確，能準(zhǔn)確體現(xiàn)名詞和形容詞的恰當(dāng)運(yùn)用。12、BuddyisbeinglookedonasaheroonFridayafter（1）hisowner'slifeby（2）thesleepingman（3）afire.ThecatgavesomeofhisownninelivestohisownerwhenafirestartedintheirhouseinTorontoonThursday.Thecat（4）onthemanandmoved（5）enoughtowakehimup.The75-year-oldman,wholiveswithBuddy,isbeingtreatedin（6）forburnstohisfaceandhands.“He's（7）ahero.（8）hehadn'twokenhimup,hecouldhave（9）thatfire,”saidKellyHand,whohasbeenlookingafterBuddyataTorontoanimalhospital.“Thisis（10）foreat.Itwouldbemorelikelythatadogwoulddo（11）likethis.Buddy（12）theanimalhospital（13）singedfurand（14）inblacksoot.Heisnowtakingsome（15）andwillbewellsoon,”saidHand.

第(2)選（）A.knockingB.wakingC.hittingD.pushing答案:B解析:在原文中，描述了貓?jiān)诨馂?zāi)發(fā)生時(shí)救了主人的命，這是通過叫醒沉睡中的主人實(shí)現(xiàn)的。因此，正確選項(xiàng)為waking，即“叫醒”。其他選項(xiàng)如knocking（敲擊）、hitting（擊打）和pushing（推）均不符合原文描述的情境。13、Afterhehadlivedforjustoneyearinthenewplace,Bobtoldtheownerofthehousethathehadtoleavebecausehewasnot（1）tobuyanychocolate.ItallhappenedthreemonthsagowhenBobreturnedhomeoneeveningand（2）.alargedoginfrontofhisgate.Helikedanimalsverymuchandashehappenedtohaveapieceofchocolateinhis（3）,hegaveittothedog.ThenextdayBobwasvery（4）toseethedogwasthereagain.Itlooked（5）andreacheditspanwsforfood.It（6）anotherpieceofchocolateasapresent,Bobcalledhisnewfriend“Friday”.Henever（7）thedog'srealname,orwhoownedit.However,Fridaywasthereatthesamemomenteveryafternoonanditwasquiteclearthathe（8）chocolatetobones.Hesoongrew（9）withsmallpiecesofchocolateandonedayaskedfora（10）one.IfBobfailedtodohis（11）.Fridaygotveryangryandrefusedtolethim（12）thegate.Bobnowwantedto（13）thisbuthedidnotknowwhattodo!Hehadspentsuchalargepartofhis（14）tokeepFridayhappywithchocolatethatintheendhehadto（15）somewhereelse.

第(15)選（）A.leaveB.moveC.travelD.sleep答案:B解析:在故事中，Bob因?yàn)闆]有足夠的錢買巧克力給狗“Friday”，導(dǎo)致“Friday”生氣并阻止他進(jìn)門。文中提到Bob為了用巧克力讓“Friday”高興，花費(fèi)了他收入中的很大一部分。最終，由于經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力和對巧克力的需求，Bob決定搬離這個(gè)地方。因此，根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，Bob需要搬到一個(gè)新的地方，即“move”到其他地點(diǎn)，所以正確答案是B。14、Theyorganizedalotofactivitiesformeinmysparetime（）Iwouldn'tmisshomeorfeellonelyA.becauseB.althoughC.sothatD.assoonas答案:C解析:這道題考查連詞的用法。在英語語法中，sothat引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，表示“以便，為了”。題中“他們在我的業(yè)余時(shí)間為我組織了很多活動”，目的是“我不會想家或感到孤獨(dú)”，C選項(xiàng)sothat符合句子邏輯。A選項(xiàng)because表原因；B選項(xiàng)although表讓步；D選項(xiàng)assoonas表“一……就……”，均不符合題意。15、—Wouldyoulikesomemilk?—No,thanks.Idon'tlikeit,（）Iknowit'sgoodformyhealth.A.becauseB.thoughC.ifD.so答案:B解析:這道題考查連詞的用法?！皌hough”有“盡管”之意。題干中說“不，謝謝。我不喜歡牛奶，（盡管）我知道它對健康有益”?！癰ecause”表原因，“if”表假設(shè)，“so”表結(jié)果，都不符合語境。這里強(qiáng)調(diào)的是雖然知道牛奶有益但仍不喜歡，所以選B。16、Hegotup（）yesterdaymorning.A.latelyB.lateC.latestD.latter答案:B解析:這道題考查詞匯辨析?！發(fā)ately”意為“近來”；“l(fā)ate”可作形容詞或副詞，有“晚、遲”的意思；“l(fā)atest”是“最新的”；“l(fā)atter”是“后者”。在“Hegotup（）yesterdaymorning.”這個(gè)句子中，需要一個(gè)副詞修飾“gotup”，表示“起床晚”，“l(fā)ate”符合，所以選B。17、從下列選項(xiàng)中找出其括號部分與所給單詞括號部分讀音相同的選項(xiàng)。（）departm(en)tA.b(an)kB.ch(an)geC.dep(en)dD.assist(an)t答案:D解析:這道題考查單詞中元音字母的讀音。在“department”中“en”的讀音為[?nt]。選項(xiàng)A中“bank”里“an”讀音不同；選項(xiàng)B中“change”里“an”讀音不同；選項(xiàng)C中“depend”里“en”讀音不同；而選項(xiàng)D中“assistant”里“an”讀音與所給單詞相同。18、AshleySmithisa26-year-oldsinglemotherwithadaughter.ShewasmovingintoherhouseinAtlanta,GeorgiaearlyonthemorningofMarch12nd,whenaman（1）hertoherdoor,andputaguntoherside.“Istartedwalkingtomydoor,andIfeltreally,really（2）,”shesaidinaTVinterviewlastweek.ThemanwasBrianNichols,33yearsold.He（3）atanAtlantacourthouseonMarch11st.Thepolicewere（4）him.NicholstiedSmithupwithtape,butsetherfreeaftershebeggedhimnottotakeher（5）againandagain.“Itoldhim（6）hehurtme,mylittlegirlwouldn'thaveamummy.”shesaidwithtears.“Ijusttalkedtohimandtriedto（7）believeme,”Smithsaid.SheaskedNichols（8）hechoseher.“HesaidhethoughtIwasallangel（9）fromGod,andGodaskedhimtodoso.”Smitheven（10）forthemanbeforeheallowedhertoleave.Nicholswas（11）whenshemadehimbreakfastandthatthetwoofthemwatchedTV,seeing（12）lookingforhim.“Ican't（13）that'smeontheTV!”Nicholstoldthewoman.Then,NicholsaskedSmithwhatshethoughthe（14）do.Shesaid,“Ithinkyoushouldturnyourselfin.Ifyoudon't,morepeoplearegoingtoget（15）.”

第(4)選（）A.hisfamilyB.hisfriendsC.thepoliceD.thelittlegirl答案:C解析:在文中提到“Thepolicewere(4)him.”，根據(jù)上下文理解，此處應(yīng)指警察正在搜尋某人。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有C項(xiàng)“thepolice”符合語境，表示警察正在找他。其他選項(xiàng)如“hisfamily”、“hisfriends”和“thelittlegirl”均不符合文中描述的情境。因此，正確答案是C。19、What_______you_______lastweekend?A.do；doB.does；doC.did；doD.did；does答案:C解析:這道題考查一般過去時(shí)的特殊疑問句形式。一般過去時(shí)中，助動詞用did，其后動詞用原形。A選項(xiàng)do；do是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；B選項(xiàng)does；do也是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，且does用于第三人稱單數(shù)；D選項(xiàng)did；does錯(cuò)誤，did后應(yīng)接動詞原形。所以根據(jù)一般過去時(shí)的語法規(guī)則，應(yīng)選C選項(xiàng)did；do。20、Doesthemeatlook（）andsell（）?A.good;goodB.well;wellC.good;wellD.well;good答案:C解析:這道題考查形容詞和副詞的用法。“l(fā)ook”是系動詞，其后接形容詞，“good”表示“好的”，所以“l(fā)ookgood”表示“看起來好”?！皊ell”是實(shí)義動詞，需用副詞修飾，“well”作副詞有“好”的意思，所以“sellwell”表示“賣得好”。綜合來看，答案選C。第Ⅱ卷（非選擇題40分）二、填空題（10小題，每小題3分，共計(jì)30分）1、The_____ofthebluedressissilk,soitfeelssoftandsmooth.A.priceB.styleC.colorD.material答案:D解析:句子中提到藍(lán)色裙子的某一部分是絲綢，這直接關(guān)聯(lián)到裙子的材質(zhì)。絲綢作為一種材質(zhì)，以其柔軟光滑的特性而著稱。在給定的選項(xiàng)中，只有“material（材質(zhì)）”與絲綢這一描述相匹配。因此，空格處應(yīng)填入“material”，表明裙子的材質(zhì)是絲綢。2、[未知題型(5)]單句改錯(cuò)。I'llA(have)thecarB(wait)atthegate．WillC(that)beD(allright)?答案:B，waiting3、“Volunteeringmakesyoulookattheworlddifferently.Youseehowlittlethingscanchangeaperson'slifeforthebetter,whichmakeseveryoneabetterperson.”Mason,avolunteersaid.
