B.challenged;rewardedC.challenging;rewarded D.challenged;rewarding【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这份工作对我来说很有挑战性，因为我没有什么经验。然而，这也是值得的。-ing结尾形容词，一般用来修饰物，说明主语的性质或特征，意为“令人……的”；-ed结尾形容词，一般用来修饰人，说明主语所处的状态，意为“感到……的”。分析句子结构可知，句子的主语为Thejob，所以第一空用-ing结尾形容词challenging，表示“具有挑战性的”；第二空主语为it，代指thejob，也应用-ing结尾形容词rewarding，表示“值得的”。故选A。2.Ashewasnotallowedto________hertotheshops,hewroteoutalistofitemsforher.A.sympathy B.satisfy C.accompany D.alarm【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查词义辨析。句意：由于不允许他陪她去商店，他就给她列了一张购物清单。A.sympathy同情；B.satisfy使满意；C.accompany陪伴；D.alarm警报。分析句子结构可知，此处应为动词原形，结合句意可知，此处表示“陪伴”符合句意，所以此处使用accompany。故选C项。3.Shefailedtheexamagain,buthersister,________,diditverywell.A.deepdown B.upsidedown C.bycontrast D.inturn【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查短语辨析。句意：她考试又不及格了，但相比之下，她的姐姐考得很好。A.deepdown在内心深处；B.upsidedown颠倒，倒转；C.bycontrast相比之下；D.inturn相应地，轮流。根据句意，“她考试不及格”和“她的姐姐考得很好”之间形成对比，bycontrast符合题意。故选C。4.Mymotherdidn’t________mygivingupthecurrentjob.A.infavorof B.breakup C.makeinferences D.approveof【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查固定短语词义辨析。句意：我母亲不赞成我放弃目前的工作。A.infavorof支持；B.breakup分解，解散；C.makeinferences作出推理；D.approveof赞成。结合句意可知，此处表示“赞成”符合句意，且在助动词didn’t之后，所以使用动词原形。故选D项。5.Wecan________earlysothatwe’llhavemoretimetoreadandselectbooks.A.setout B.setup C.setaside D.setback【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们可以早点出发，这样我们就有更多的时间阅读和挑选书籍。A.setout出发；B.setup建立；C.setaside搁置；D.setback阻碍。根据后文“earlysothatwe’llhavemoretimetoreadandselectbooks”可知，为了有更多时间要早点出发。故选A。6.________mountainsonsuchaclearday________agoodwaytorelax.A.Climb,is B.Climbing,is C.Toclimb,are D.Climbing,are【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查动名词做主语和主谓一致。句意：在这样一个晴朗的日子爬山是一个放松的好方式。此句动词climb放在句首，动词做主语需转化为动名词-ing形式，所以需填climbing.此句主语是Climbingmountainsonsuchaclearday,动名词做主语是陈述一件事情，即“在这样晴朗的日子里爬山”这件事情是单数，所以根据主谓一致原则，谓语动词be动词用is.故选B项。7.________inafamousuniversityiswhatmoststudentswishfor.A.Educating B.Educate C.Beingeducated D.Educated.【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查动名词。句意：在名牌大学接受教育是大多数学生的愿望。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词作主语，结合句意可知，此处描述的是经常性发生的动作，所以使用动名词形式作主语，且表示被动意义，所以此处使用动名词的被动形式beingeducated，位于句首，being的首字母需大写。故选C项。8.________himself________theproject,hehadnotimetogobackhome.A.Occupied;with B.Occupied;ofC.Occupying;with D.Occupying;of【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查固定搭配和非谓语动词。句意：他忙于这个项目，没有时间回家。occupyoneselfwith...意为“忙于……”，相当于beoccupiedwith。根据两个空之间的himself可知，这里应用前一短语。分析句子结构，本句的谓语是had，所以逗号前的部分应为非谓语动词短语，逻辑主语he和occupy之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词，作状语。结合四个选项可知，选C。9.Iamverytiredanddon’tfeellike_________anythingatthemoment.A.eat B.eating C.toeat D.eaten【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我现在很累，什么也不想吃。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词作宾语，根据feellikedoingsth.意为“想要做某事”可知，此处应为动名词形式，作宾语。故选B项。10.Therewasanawkwardsilencewhennooneknewwhat________,andthenIchangedthesubject.A.say B.saying C.said D.tosay【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：大家都不知道该怎么办，一阵尴尬的沉默，然后我改变了话题。分析句子结构可知，此处应为“疑问词+不定式”结构，所以此处使用动词不定式tosay与what构成“whattosay”结构作knew的宾语。故选D项。三、完型填空(共15题，每小题1分，共15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。ErikAndBrittanyMallaschkneweachotherin2006.Theygotmarried____11____andhavethreechildrentogether.Forthepastdecade,they’vebeenfocusedon____12____theirfamilywithdifferentneeds.That’sa(n)____13____foralotofparents.Erikwasaplumber(水电工).HehadhisownYouTubechannel,wherehe____14____thenickname“TheNakedPlumber”.Sometimes,hewouldusually____15____mostofhismorningsfilminghimself.Healsodidmuch____16____forhisfriendsandfamilymembers.Thelovinghusbandandfatherdevotedmostofhis____17____tomakingsurehisfamilywas____18____well.Infact,thatisthethingthatanyfatherwoulddo.However,Erik____19____thathespentalotmoretimefocusingonhisfamily’s____20____ratherthanhavingfun.ThatrealizationledtoErikcomingupwitha(n)____21____thatwouldshockmanypeople,____22____hiswife.SoErikaskedhislovelywifehowhecouldmakeherhappier,butshecouldn’thelpbut____23____.HetoldBrittanythatshedidn’thavetogotoworkforthetimebeing.ErikhandedBrittanyabrownpaperbag.Itwasafoldedpinkpaperthatwouldchangehermoodquickly!Becauseitwasreallyher____24____gift—apassportforasightseeingtoGermany.ItwassomethingthatBrittanywouldhavenever____25____inherwildestdreams.11.A.sooner
