24.D点拨：考查代词辨析。she她，是人称代词主格，作主语;her她，是人

称代词宾格，作宾语；hers她的，是名词性物主代词；herself她自己，是反

身代词。句意为“这个宝宝太小了。别让她自己待在家里”。by+反身代

学习很努力。

31.B点拨：fattest最胖的；youngest最幼小的;rudest最粗鲁的；strongest最强壮

的。根据"Ihavetwoolderbrothers"可知，作者在家里是最小的孩子，所以

isveryactiveandlively.Heoftentakespartinclubactivities"可知，马特非常

活泼，又经常参加俱乐部活动，所以很容易跟人相处，故空格处填easilyo

故选Bo

38.C点拨：nervous紧张的；honest诚实的；happy高兴的；angry生气的。根据

"becauseheplayssomuchanddoesnotlistentohisteacherscarefullywhenhe

搭配：behappywith"对...感到满意"，故空格处填happy。故选C。

39.D点拨：whether是否;if如果；or或者;but但是。根据"Heislessactivethan

Matt"及"hehasareallyclosegroupoffriends"可知，虽然马丁没有马特那
