winner.A.value

B.worthy

C.worth

D.worthwhile参考答案：B【详解】考查形容词。句意：她在比赛中的出色表现证明她是个当之无愧的胜利者。worth是一个只能作表语的形容词，意思为“值……的。worthy可作表语，也可作定语。作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”worthwhile与worthy一样，既可作表语，又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做，一般做“值得的”。本句中缺少定语，所以C选项错误。D选项能做定语，但是意思不符合句意。故B选项正确。【点睛】worth、worthy、worthwhile的用法区别这三个词都是形容词，都有“值得的”的意思，但用法或搭配关系不同。1.worth是一个只能作表语的形容词，意思为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。由于它类似介词，须在后面接名词、或主动形式的动名词作宾语。例如：2.worthy可作表语，也可作定语。作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”；用作表语时意思为“值得……的”、“应得到……的”，其后接ofsth.，也可以后接todosth.，例如：3.worthwhile与worthy一样，既可作表语，又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做，一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解。用作表语时，可接动名词或动词不定式。本句中worthy“应受到赏识的”作winner的定语，故B选项正确。5.Everywinterholiday,Iwillgobacktomyhometownandstaywithmygrandparents,whereIdon'teven________checkingemailoranythingelse.A.mind

B.worthC.bother

D.escape参考答案：C【详解】考查动词。A.mind介意；

B.worth值------的；

C.bother打扰；

D.escape逃脱。句意：每个寒假，我都会回到我的家乡，和我的祖父母呆在一起，在那里我甚至懒得检查电子邮件或其他任何事情。结合句意可知答案为C。6.________animportantdecisionmoreonemotionthanonreason,youwillregretitsoonerorlater.A.Based B.Basing C.Base D.Tobase参考答案：B7.Incaseofemergency,whetherknowinghowtoapplyfirstaidornotreally________inmattersconcerningwoundslikeswollenwrists,brokenarms,burns,cuts,andsoon.A.makesdifference

B.hasbeenraining,letupC.hasrained,letout

D.hasbeenraining,letout参考答案：B考查时态和动词短语辨析。句意：整个上午一直在下雨，我们不知道什么时候雨会停。由句意可知，rain这个动作一直持续到现在，并且还会持续下去，故第一个空要用现在完成进行时态。letup意为“停止，减弱”，letout意为“发出（声音），将（衣服）放大”。故B选项正确。23.Shakespeareisconsideredasthegreatestwriterofworldliterature.______theplays,hehaswrittensomepoems.

giveourselvesapatontheback.”可知我们要鼓励自己。选项中只有赞美自己和鼓励意思相近。故答案为D。27．细节理解题。根据“Beforespeaking,weshouldalwaysaskourselves:Isittrue?Isitloving?Isitneeded?Ifwhatwewanttosaydoesn’tpassthistest,thenit’sbetterleftunsaid.”可知语言的影响很大，在我们说话之前应该三思。故答案为B。【备注】本文讲述的是语言的威力，以及语言对人的影响。告诉我们要三思而后行19.“Indeed,”GeorgeWashingtonwroteinhisdiaryin1785,“somekindoffly,orbug,hadbeguntoeattheleavesbeforeIlefthome.”ButthefatherofAmericawasnotthefatherofbug.WhenWashingtonwrotethat,Englishmenhadbeenreferringtoinsectsasbugsformorethanacentury,andAmericanshadalreadycreatedlightning-bug(萤火虫).ButtheEnglishweresoontostopusingthebugsintheirlanguage,leavingittotheAmericanstocallabugabuginthenineteenthandtwentiethcenturies.TheAmericanbugcouldalsobeaperson,referringtosomeonewhowascrazyaboutaparticularactivity.Althoughfanbecametheusualterm,sportsfansusedtobecalledracingbugs,baseballbugs,andthelike.Orthebugcouldbeasmallmachineorobject,forexample,abug-shapedcar.Thebugcouldalsobeaburglaralarm,fromwhichcomestheexpressiontobug,thatis,“toinstall(安装)analarm”.Nowitmeansasmallpieceofequipmentthatpeopleuseforlisteningsecretlytoothers’conversation.Sincethe1840s,tobughaslongmeant“tocheat”,andsincethe1940sithasbeenannoying.Wealsoknowthebugasaflawinacomputerprogramorotherdesign.ThatmeaningdatesbacktothetimeofThomasEdison.In1878heexplainedbugsas“littleproblemsanddifficulties”thatrequiredmonthsofstudyandlabortoovercomeindevelopingasuccessfulproduct.In1889itwasrecordedthatEdison“hadbeenupthetwopreviousnightsdiscovering‘abug’inhisinventedrecordplayer.”28.WelearnfromParagraph1that__________________.A.
