参考答案

1.B当你学开车的时候，有一个好老师会有很大的区别。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】B分析句子结构可知，agoodteacher作后一句句子的主语，所以应用have的动名词形式。故选B

2.C我们已经去过那里上百次了。

［考点］数词的用法

【精析】Chundred在表示具体的数字时用单数；在表示不确定的数字时用复数，且常与of连用。也可将hundredsof视为固定搭配，意为数百的，成百上千的。故选C

3.D读到莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖的新闻，他很高兴。

［考点］同位语从句

【精析】D分析句子结构可知,空处引导同位语从句,对抽象名词news（新闻，消息）进行解释说明,所以应用在从句中不充当语法成分，而只起连接作用的that。故选D

4.B许多孩子选择《小猪佩奇》作为他们最喜欢的电视节目。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Bfavorable：赞同的，有利的；favorite：最喜欢的；preferred是prefer（更喜欢）的过去式和过去分词；preferable：更合适的，更可取的。根据句意可知，选B

5.A他们的手表比市场上其他所有的手表都好。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Abesuperiorto是固定搭配，意为优于，胜过。故选A

6.C每当我有困难时我就会和在线的人交谈以寻求帮助。

10.A飓风是形成于热带海洋水域上空、风速高达每小时75英里以上的强烈气旋。

［考点］定语从句

26.数据显示，对于幸福来说最重要的不是拥有很多东西，而是拥有健康的价值观。【精析】本句是个复合句。Thedatatellusthat…为常用句型，意为数据显示，数据表明，其后跟宾语从句。在宾语从句中，what引导主语从句，而not…but…结构为常考句型，表示不是……而是……。matter为动词，意为有关系，要紧，healthyvalues意为健康的价值观

31.Whenitisfine,Iusuallygotoschoolbybike

32.BBrecycledpaper意为再生纸，再造纸，因为纸与再循环之间为动宾关系，所以应用过去分词修饰，不能用recycling，排除D项；A项意为循环用纸使得成千上万的树木被砍倒，与题干意思完全相反；C项意为循环用纸能保护成千上万的树木，意思不完整。故选B
