41、“Albert沉迷于电脑游戏的生活”而言的。18CAlbert喜欢电脑游戏。在所有游戏当中，一个通过升级收集乌龟的游戏他尤其“喜欢(liked)”。从下文的“he ran to his room to switch the . on”可以看出。19D见下一题解析。20CAlbert喜欢电脑游戏到了痴迷的程度，有一天，“像平时一样(as usual)”，他一进家门就去开“电脑(computer)”。21A一开始是有奇怪的声音，然后是电脑屏幕破了。suddenly表示Albert这次经历的事情很突然。22B从上文他最喜欢的游戏是收集乌龟和下文的“Seeing that the turtles we

42、re staying”及“Looking after hundreds of turtles”可知。23A由下文的“called to his parents to see if he was dreaming this”可知，Albert不“相信(believe)”正在发生的事情。24B由上文的“he ran to his room”与“called his parents to see”可知，Albert应该是把他的父母叫到他的房间。entering指父母进到Albert的房间。25C由下文的“Looking after hundreds of turtles”可知，看到如此多的乌龟，Al

43、bert的父母让他自己负起“责任(responsibility)”。26D照顾几百只乌龟绝不是“容易的(easy)”事。27A见下一题解析。28B对于如何照顾乌龟，Albert需要“学习(learning)”关于乌龟的一切，甚至要“想(think up)”办法去喂乌龟。29C“Albert想办法让乌龟离开房间”与“(办法)没有奏效”之间是转折关系，故用but。30A见下一题解析。31D由下文的“He felt happy that they were part of his world”可知，Albert逐渐地“习惯了(got used to)”与乌龟生活在一起，也“喜欢(enjoy)”上了这

44、种生活。32B此处的quickly与上文的suddenly相呼应。乌龟的消失和它们的到来一样突然。33C由but一词的转折和最后一段内容可知，Albert的父母原本担心乌龟的消失会让他重新回到游戏的世界，但他们担心的事情并没有“发生(happen)”。34B根据上文描述的Albert发生的转变可知，此处是说他从宠物店买回了乌龟、鸟、鱼。look after“照顾”，符合语境。35B对于Albert来说，经历这次非同寻常的事情之后，他“使用(uses)”电脑不再是玩游戏了，而是用来学习关于动物和自然的新知识。第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空格处填入适当的

45、内容(每空不多于三个单词)或使用括号中单词的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在相应位置上。On February 5,2013, the 36._ (five) grade students at an elementary school welcomed a new student. 37._， he was unlike other newcomers.

In the past he has done many tasks, including 45.

49、_ (accompany) the elderly shop for groceries.答案与解析36fifthfive的序数词为fifth。五年级应表达为“the fifth grade”。37However空格前后两个分句为转折关系，且空格后有逗号，应用转折连词However。38butnot . but .“不是而是”。39outtest out“试验”。40Compared所给词在句中为非谓语动词作状语，且compare与其逻辑主语the robot为被动关系，故用compare的过去分词形式作状语。41was programmed所给词在句中作谓语，表过去的动作，且programm

50、e与其逻辑主语he为被动关系，故填过去时的被动语态。42aas a result“结果”。43allnot与all连用表“并非全部”。44has been根据固定句型“This is the first time sb. has/have done sth.”可知空格处谓语用现在完成时。45accompanying所给词在句中为非谓语动词作介词including的宾语，应用动名词形式，故填accompanying。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(每小题1分，满分10分)英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句
