参考答案一、单项选择（共10小题，满分20分）1、B【解析】【详解】句意：——时间过得真快！这个学期就要结束了。暑假你打算去哪里？——我们全家要去云南度假。考查冠词的用法。根据“Thistermiscomingto...end.”可知，此处泛指结束，且end是以元音音素开头的单词,其前应使用不定冠词an，且短语cometoanend表示“结束”；onholiday表示“度假”，是一个介词短语，中间不填冠词。故选B。2、A【解析】【详解】句意：这是多么惊人的消息啊！我们简直不敢相信。考查感叹句。感叹句的表达方式有①What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主谓！②What+形容词+不可数（或复数）名词+主谓！③How+形容词/副词+主谓！本句中心词为news“消息”，不可数名词，所以引导词选What。故选A。3、C【解析】【详解】句意：——坐汽车去新的历史博物馆需要花费多少时间？——大约30分钟。HowlongdoesittaketogettotheNewHistoryMuseumbyBus?About30minutes.考查特殊疑问词组。Howoften多久一次；Howfar有多远；Howlong多久、多长时间；Howabout怎么样。根据答语“About30minutes.”可知，是问多长时间的，用howlong。故选C。Examinethephrasewithspecialquestions.Howoften;Howfar;Howlong;Howabout.Accordingtotheanswer4、A【解析】【详解】句意：你可以在哪里找到这个句子？请来参加我的聚会！考查常识。Onaninvitation在一张邀请函上；Inabook在一本书上；Inamenu在一张菜单上。根据“myparty”可知这是在发出邀请，因此这个句子应是在邀请函上可以看到。故选A。5、B【解析】【详解】句意：我认我们一起踢足球很有趣。考查非谓语动词。It’sfunforsb.todosth.意为“对某人来说做某事是有趣的”，固定用法，因此此处用动词不定式“toplay”。故选B。6、D【解析】【详解】句意：——Suzy，盒子里是什么？——打开它！这是给你的一个惊喜。考查介词辨析。beside在旁边；outside在外面；behind在后面；inside在里面。根据“Openit”可知问的是盒子里面是什么，所以要打开盒子。故选D。7、A【解析】【详解】句意：——妈妈，这个周末我想和朋友们一起去骑自行车。——没问题，但是在你完成作业之前你不能去。考查连词辨析。before在……以前；when当……时候；since自从；after在……之后。根据“butyoucan’tgo...youfinishallyourhomework.”可知，没完成作业，就不能去骑车，即不能在做完作业之前骑车，因此before符合语境。故选A。8、D【解析】【详解】句意：今天天气真好！考查感叹句。根据“weatherwehavetoday!”可知这里考查了感叹句，本句的中心词是weather，它是一个不可数名词，fine是一个形容词，在这里修饰weather，根据：What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语!可知选项D符合句型结构。故选D。9、A【解析】【详解】句意：——你的毛衣多漂亮啊！——谢谢。我妈妈上周给我买的。考查动词辨析。bought买；sold卖；cooked烹饪。根据“Howbeautifulyoursweateris!”可知讨论的是毛衣，空处应填“买”符合语境，指的是“妈妈上周给我买的”。故选A。10、—It’s________togototherailwaystationbybus.—Don’tworry,Mum.Iwilltakeataxi.A.enoughlate B.toolate C.enoughearly D.tooearly二、完成句子（共5小题，满分10分）11、(r)eal【解析】【详解】句意：这种事情只发生在电影中，而不是在真实生活中。空后是名词“life”，所以该空应为一个形容词。结合前面的“inmovies”及首字母提示可知，该空表达的应是“真实的，实际的”，对应real。故填(r)eal。12、hundred【解析】【详解】句意：有200人急需我们的帮助，请帮帮他们。“百”hundred，此处用“基数词+hundred原形”表示数量。故填hundred。13、triedhisbest【解析】【详解】tryone’sbest“尽力”，根据“passed”可知，此处用一般过去时，根据主语Tom，代词用his，故填triedhisbest。14、knowledge【解析】【详解】句意：他对绘画和音乐有广泛的了解。knowledgeable“知识渊博的”，形容词，haveawideknowledgeof表示“对……有广泛的了解”，所以此处为名词单数knowledge“了解，知识”。故填knowledge。15、(m)ilks【解析】【详解】句意：农民每天喂鸡挤奶。根据首字母及“thecows”可知，此处指给奶牛挤奶。milk“挤奶”，动词。根据“everyday”可知，时态是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词用其单三形式。故填(m)ilks。三、补全对话（10分）16、1.Isthereazoonearhere2.Howfarisitfromhere3.HowcanIgetthere4.Whereisthebusstop5.Thankyou/Thanksalot/…【解析】【导语】本文是一个人问了去动物园的对话。【1题详解】根据“No,thereisn’tonenearhere”以及“WherecanIfindazoointhiscity,please”可知此处询问附近有没有动物园。故填Isthereazoonearhere。【2题详解】根据“It’saboutelevenkilometersawayfromhere.”可知此处询问离这里有多远。故填Howfarisitfromhere。【3题详解】根据“Youcantakeabusthere.Er...,takebusNo.2.”可知此处询问应如何去那里。故填HowcanIgetthere。【4题详解】根据“Look,thebusstopisoverthere.”可知此处询问公交车站在哪里。故填Whereisthebusstop。【5题详解】根据“Look,thebusstopisoverthere.”可知最后对对方的帮助表示感谢。故填Thankyou/Thanksalot/…四、阅读理解（40分）17、1.D2.B3.C【解析】【导语】本文是李华介绍了自己最喜欢的学科是历史，他想成为一名历史老师，以及学习历史的方法。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“SomelikeEnglishbest,otherslikeChinesebest.Forme,Iambestathistory.”可知，作者最喜欢历史，故选D。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据“First，Next，Atlast”可知，作者给出了三点建议，B表述错误，故选B。【3题详解】篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段和第二段作者分别介绍了自己最喜欢的学科和想成为一名历史老师的愿望；第三段介绍了学习历史的方法；最后一段总结概括，故选C。18、1.rainy2.spent3.noodles4.Susan5.cinema【解析】【导语】本文介绍了来自不同地区的四个孩子的周末活动。【1题详解】根据Junjie部分的“Ihadtostayathomebecauseitrainedheavily.”，可知上周末北京下雨，所以他不得不待在家里。be动词was后面应跟形容词作表语，rainy“下雨的”。故填rainy。【2题详解】根据Junjie部分的“IdidmyhomeworkonSaturdaymorning.Ittookmeabouttwohours.”，可知Junjie花了两个小时写作业。“某人花时间做某事”英文表达为“sb.spend+时间+doingsth.”又因为是上周发生的事情，动词用过去式。故填spent。【3题详解】根据Wenshan部分的“LastSundaywasmyfourteenthbirthday…Weatenoodlesthere.”，可知Wenshan生日那天吃了面条。故填noodles。【4题详解】根据Susan部分的“Afterbreakfast,Ipracticedplayingthepianofortwohoursanddidmyhomeworkforanhour.”，可知Susan会弹钢琴。故填Susan。【5题详解】根据Jeff部分的“ThecinemaisonNewStreet.”，可知新街上有一个电影院。故填cinema。51.Frankisgoodatplayingsoccer.Heis______theschoolsoccerteam.19、1.A2.C3.B4.B5.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇关于家庭火灾的通告。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Atleastonechilddiesinahousefireeveryday.”可知，每天至少有一个孩子丧生在家庭火灾中。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Housefiresarethereasonsforabout90%ofallfire-relateddeaths.”可知，90%的火灾相关死亡是由家庭火灾造成。故选C。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据“77%offamiliesdon’thaveahousefireescapeplane.”可知，77%的家庭没有家庭火灾逃生计划。故选B。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据“livingafamilyaslittleas2minutestoescapesafelyoncethealarmsounds.”可知，一旦火警响起，一家人2分钟内必须安全离开房子。故选B。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，本文是一篇关于家庭火灾的通告。故选D。20、1.F2.C3.A4.E5.B【解析】【导语】本文主要介绍了如何计划一个有趣的暑假。【1题详解】根据“ThestudentsintheUnitedStatesthinkthatthelongsummerholidaycanbeagreattimetolearnortodosomenewthings.”及下文的介绍可知，此处是总体指出有一些方法可以让假期变得有趣，选项F“这里有一些方法可以让你计划一个有趣的暑假。”符合，故选F。【2题详解】根据“Thesummerholidaycanbeagreattimetodosomethingforthenextschoolyear.Youcanhavesometimetothinkaboutyourwish.”可知，此处说的是这样做的重要性，选项C“这对你很重要。”符合，故选C。【3题详解】根据“Areyouthinkingabouthelpingothers?Thesummerholidaygivesyoutimetodosomethingforthem.”可知，此处说的是帮助别人对你的影响，选项A“帮助别人可以让你快乐。”符合，故选A。【4题详解】根据“Don’tletyourbrain(大脑)getlazy.”可知，这里说的是大脑需要运转，结合选项，E选项“你需要让你的大脑运转起来。”符合，故选E。【5题详解】根据“Thinkaboutotherthingsyouwishtodo.Writeabook?StudyEnglish?Getapart-timejob?”可知，此处说的是与前面相同的疑问句，结合“Nowit’stimetotalktoyourparentsaboutyourholidayplan.Thenhaveagreatsummerholiday!”可知，此处应是说去旅行，选项B“去一些有趣的地方旅行”符合，故选B。6.A：Whatcanshedo?B：______________________________.7.A：______________________________?B：Yes,heis.8.A：______________________________?B：It’sbetweenthehospitalandthezoo.9.A：Ishethinorfat?B：______________________________.10.A：Whatdidyoursisterdolastweekend?B：______________________________.五、完形填空（10分）21、1.D2.D3.C4.A5.C6.D7.A8.B9.C10.D11.D12.A13.B14.D15.C【解析】【导语】本文主要讲述了凯西和邻居以及朋友们把家附近空地的垃圾清理了，然后种上树和花使其变为一个美丽的花园。【1题详解】句意：随着时间的推移，陆地上总是有大量的垃圾。matches火柴；pets宠物；mice老鼠；rubbish垃圾。根据下文“besttocleanawaytherubbishontheland”可知是指地面上的垃圾，故选D。【2题详解】句意：在一个下雨天，凯西透过窗户看着空旷的土地。At后加具体时刻；For后加时间段；In后加某年某月某季节；On后加具体的某一天。根据“arainyday”可知具体到某一天，应用介词on。故选D。【3题详解】句意：然后她看到路边有一些花。kept保持；lost失去；saw看见；hid隐藏。根据“someflowersontheroadside”可知是指看见一些花，故选C。【4题详解】句意：突然，她想到了一个主意。Suddenly突然地；Badly严重地；Quickly快速的；Happily开心地。根据“anideacameintohermind”和语境可知，突然她想到一个主意，故选A。【5题详解】句意：后来，她给她的朋友大卫看了一张花园的照片。saved拯救；burnt燃烧；showed展示；taught教。根据“herfriendDavidapictureofagarden.”可知是指给朋友展示一张花园的照片。故选C。【6题详解】句意：多么美的一幅图片啊！How如何；Where在哪里；When什么时候；What什么。此处是感叹句，中心词是可数名词单数picture，应用what。故选D。【7题详解】句意：然后凯茜把她的想法告诉了她的邻居。with和；than比；towards朝着；of……的。share...with...“和……分享……”，故选A。【8题详解】句意：一些邻居同意凯西的观点，他们也想参加这个活动。moment时刻；part部分；way方式；work工作。takepartin“参加”，为固定短语，故选B。【9题详解】句意：凯西和她的朋友们也从邻居那里筹集了一些钱，买了一些小树。paid支付；spent花费；raised筹集；made制作。根据“somemoneyfromherneighboursandboughtsomelittle”可知是指筹集钱，故选C。【10题详解】句意：凯西和她的朋友们也从邻居那里筹集了一些钱，买了一些小树。fruit水果；wood木头；leaves树叶；trees树。根据下文“plantedtreesandflowers”可知是指买树，故选D。【11题详解】句意：在周末，凯茜和她的邻居们尽最大努力清理土地上的垃圾，种树种花并仔细浇水。her她的；his他的；our我们的；their他们的。主语是“Cathyandherneighbours”，所以此处应用their。故选D。【12题详解】句意：在周末，凯茜和她的邻居们尽最大努力清理土地上的垃圾，种树种花并仔细浇水。carefully仔
