一、单句语法填空

1.of2.on3.To4.at5.with6.from7.for8.to9.at

10.in

二、用所给短语的适当形式填空

1.failedto2.makeuseof3.hadaneffecton4.insuchaway

5.ontheedgeof6.narrowescape7.onmyway8.atthemoment

三、阅读理解

1.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“Helefthishomewithalight

heart,andexpectedtobuythebooks.”可知，汤米希望从他母

亲那里得到钱后能买一些漂亮的书。故选C项。

2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中“Themanagainshookhishead,

forhecouldnotunderstandorspeakhislanguage.“可知，汤

米跟这个可怜的人说话时他摇头是因为他不明白这个男孩的意思。故

选A项。

3.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Bealwaysreadytohelp

othersandeveryChristmasofyourlifewillbecometoyoua

MerryChristinas."可知，作者试图鼓励我们随时准备帮助别人。故

选B项。

4.A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“'Oh,mydearboy,'said

hismother,'herearesomebooksforyou,moreasaprizefor

yourgoodnessofheartthanasaChristmasgift.可知，汤

米因为他的善良得到了奖励。故选A项。

5.C推理判断题。根据第一段的“Smallerbitsofparticles

（微粒）stayintheairforaweekorlongerandcanbeblown

thousandsofmilesaway.”可知,较小的粒子能在空中待一个星期

或更长时间，然后可以被吹到数千英里之外。故可推知C项正确。

6.D主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容可知，沙尘暴的可怕

之处在于，它可以蔓延数百英里，上升到1万英尺（3050米）以上。

故可知本段主要讲述的是沙尘暴的威力，此题易误选A项，但A项说

的是“风的速度”，而不是“沙尘暴的速度”，故选择D。

7.A细节理解题。根据第三段的“Ifyouareinacarduring

aduststorm,remindthedrivertopulloverandturnoffthe

headlights."
