参考答案1．答案：D解析：单词重音指的是单词中发音较为响亮、清晰的音节。A.percent重音在第一个音节per上。B.Internet重音在第一个音节In上。C.serious重音在第一个音节se上。D.culture重音在第二个音节tu上。所以，重音在第二个音节上的单词是culture。2．答案：A解析：句意:下面句子四个选项中，哪个可以连读?考查连读。英语中，连读可分为以下几种情况:1.“辅音+元音”型;2.“r/re+元音”型连读;3.“辅音+半元音”型连读;4.“元音+元音”型连读。四个选项中，只有A项属于连读的第一种，故选A。3．答案：B解析：句意:下面四个句子中哪一个句尾应该读升调?考查升调。陈述句、特殊疑问句用降调，一般疑问句用升调，选项B为一般疑问句，读升调。故选B。4．答案：D解析：5．答案：C解析：考查连词辨析。sothat以便于;although虽然;aslongas只要;assoonas一……就……。根据“Yourdreamwillcometrue...youputyourheartintoit.”可知，是指只要你用心，梦想就会实现，空后句是前句的条件，用aslongas引导条件状语从句。故选C。6．答案：B解析：句意:这两个男孩刚才因为一个篮球而打起架来。考查动词时态。根据“justnow”可知，时态是一般过去时，需用动词的过去式形式。故选B。7．答案：C解析：8．答案：B解析：考查动词短语。madeup化妆、编造;dressedup打扮;gotup起床;putup张贴。根据“likeaboyandtookherfather’splacetofighttheenemy.可知，木兰是乔装打扮成男孩。故选B。9．答案：D解析：句意:我认为饺子比面条好吃得多。考查形容词比较级。由“than”可知此句使用比较级，nice的比较级是nicer，delicious的比较级是moredelicious，比较级前面可以用much修饰，不能用more修饰，由此可知，空格处应填muchmoredelicious。故选D。10．答案：A解析：题目问的是“你认为脱口秀节目怎么样？”，回答是“它们很有趣，我______它们。”A.love喜欢B.don'tmind不介意C.don'tlike不喜欢D.can'tstand不能忍受.根据回答“它们很有趣”，可以推断出说话人喜欢脱口秀节目，所以答案是A。11．答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“ButIthinkwhomtotravelwithmightbethemostimportant.”可知，作者认为计划一次旅行最重要的是和谁一起旅行。故选D。12．答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据报告中“Mom27%”可知，妈妈是最好的旅行伙伴。故选C。13．答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据报告中“Dad13%”和“From:HolidayInnResortSurveyof200USchildrenaged6-17”可知，在200个孩子中，13%的孩子希望爸爸成为他们的旅行伙伴。200*0.13=26个，所以有26个孩子希望爸爸成为他们的旅行伙伴。故选B。14．答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据通读全文可知，本文是一篇关于一项针对美国儿童选择度假伙伴的调查报告。由此可推测出，我们可以在杂志的旅游部分阅读这篇文章。故选B。15．答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据“butshecouldbabysitkidsonweekends”可知她可以照顾孩子。故选C。16．答案：B解析：词义猜测题。根据“Sharonsaidshelivednextdoor,anditwouldbesoconvenient”可知她住在隔壁，那会很方便，故此处划线部分意为“方便的”，和easy意义相近。故选B。17．答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据“Mr.andMrs.Brownwentbacktwohourslater.”可知她照顾了两个小时。故选A。18．答案：D解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Sharon为邻居照看小孩儿的故事。故选D。19．答案：C解析：文章第一段提到，商人给每个年轻人一颗种子，并说要根据他们的植物来选择下一任CEO。由此可知，商人的目的是选择下一任CEO。20．答案：A解析：首先，Jim得到了一颗种子并把它种在一个罐子里。然后，Jim每天给种子浇水。但是，种子没有发芽，Jim感到有点难过。一年后，当其他人嘲笑Jim时，Jim带着空罐子来了。最后，商人说出真相，Jim成为了下一任CEO。21．答案：D解析：文章最后提到，商人宣布Jim是下一任CEO。由此可知，Jim最终得到了CEO的工作。22．答案：B解析：文章中，商人给的种子都是煮熟的，只有Jim诚实地带回了空罐子，最终成为了CEO。由此可知，诚实对我们来说非常重要。23．答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段Youwanttoliveahappierlife？（你想过更幸福的生活吗？）可知是用问问题的方法开始的，故选C。24．答案：D解析：代词指代题。根据第三段LaughterYogaisusedinmanyhospitalsfortheillnesstreatment（疾病治疗）anditisalsopracticedinschools，factoriesandoldpeople'shomes.（笑声瑜伽在许多医院用于疾病治疗，也在学校，工厂和老人的家里练习。）可知，"it"指代欢笑瑜伽。故选D。25．答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据第四段IwenttomynearestLaughterYogaClubtofindout.Iwasquitenervousaboutit.Ididn'tliketheideaoflaughingwithothers.First，ourlaughterteachertoldustoclapourhandsandsay，"Hohoho，hahaha."Hesaidourbodiescan'ttellthedifferencebetweenfakelaughterandreallaughter，sotheybothwork.Aftertenminuteseverybodyintheroomwaslaughingforreal!WediddifferentkindsoflaughterexercisesandfinallyIwassurprisedbyhowrelaxedIfelt.（我去离我最近的笑声瑜伽俱乐部寻找答案。我对此很紧张。我不喜欢和别人一起笑。首先，我们的笑声老师让我们拍拍手说："嗬嗬嗬，哈哈哈。"他说，我们的身体无法分辨假笑和真笑，所以两者都有效。十分钟后，房间里的每个人都真的笑了起来！我们做了不同种类的笑练习，最后我惊讶地发现我感觉如此放松。）可知，我去了离我最近的欢笑俱乐部去了解情况。我很紧张。我们做了各种各样的欢笑练习，最后我惊讶地发现我是多么的放松。所以作者在欢笑俱乐部的经历中感觉是紧张，惊讶，放松。故选A。26．答案：C解析：主旨大意题。根据第五段Soifyou'resad（伤心的）aboutsomething，juststartlaughing.AsDr.Katariasays，"Whenyoulaugh，youchange，andwhenyouchange，theworldaroundyouchanges."（所以，如果你对某件事感到难过，就开始笑。正如卡塔利亚博士所说："当你笑的时候，你会改变，当你改变的时候，你周围的世界也会改变。"）所以这篇文章的目的是建议我们为了更幸福的生活而笑。故选C。27．答案：Byplane.解析：根据“WearrivedbyplaneonMondaymorningandtookataxitoourhotel.”可知，Tara和Mary坐飞机去伦敦。故填Byplane.28．答案：TheyvisitedtheBritishMuseumandhaddinnerinaChineserestaurant.解析：根据“ThenonTuesdaywesawtheclock,BigBen,andBuckinghamPalace."和“ThenextdaywevisitedtheBritishMuseumandhaddinnerinaChineserestaurant!”可知，周三Tara和Mary参观了大英博物馆，并在一家中国餐馆吃了晚饭。故填TheyvisitedtheBritishMuseumandhaddinnerinaChineserestaurant.29．答案：Fivedays.解析：根据“WearrivedbyplaneonMondaymorning”、“OnThursdaymorningwerelaxed.”、“FinallytodayIdidsomeshoppingandMarylistenedtoaconcertinthepark.”及“Tomorrowmorningwe'regoingtoflyhome.”可知，可知Tara和Mary在伦敦待了五天。故填Fivedays.30．答案：AnyreasonableanswerwillbeOK.解析：开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如:是的，我喜欢在假期旅行!这是一个探索新地方，尝试不同食物，体验不同文化的好方法。这也是一个放松和与爱人创造新回忆的机会。我发现旅行很有趣。故填AnyreasonableanswerwillbeOK.31．答案：D解析：根据句意，一些人养猫或___在家，因为它们很可爱。可知空格处应填入一种常见的宠物，选项中只有dog符合。32．答案：B解析：根据句意，把动物带回家后，它们可以和人___很长时间。可知空格处应填入表示陪伴的词语，选项中只有stay符合。33．答案：C解析：根据句意，这就是为什么很多人在看狗的大___时，觉得狗很可爱。可知空格处应填入表示狗身体部位的词语，结合前文dogsenjoylookingatpeople'seyes，可知空格处应填入eyes。34．答案：D解析：根据句意，一些科学家还发现，动物能够理解人类，因为它们能够快速而___地了解情感。可知空格处应填入表示聪明伶俐的词语，选项中只有smartly符合。35．答案：A解析：根据句意，当人们伤心的时候，动物不仅能立刻察觉到，还能让人感到温暖和___。可知空格处应填入表示积极情绪的词语，选项中只有happy符合。36．答案：C解析：根据句意，动物需要家、食物和饮料。所以我们需要___它们这些东西。可知空格处应填入表示给予的词语，选项中只有give符合。37．答案：B解析：根据句意，学习在家里___动物可以帮助孩子们变得善良。可知空格处应填入表示照顾的词语，选项中只有lookafter符合。38．答案：A解析：根据句意，坏消息是，许多动物没有___的食物来生存，因为城市越来越大。可知空格处应填入表示充足的词语，选项中只有enough符合。39．答案：A解析：根据句意，所以当它们遇到困难时，我们应该___它们。可知空格处应填入表示帮助的词语，选项中只有help符合。40．答案：B解析：根据句意，建立自然公园是一个好___。可知空格处应填入表示方法的词语，选项中只有way符合。41．答案：ADCE解析：本文讲了“食指”的由来以及“食指大动”的含义。①根据前文“InChinese,shimeans(意思是)‘food’.”可知，此处说的是食指的意思，选项A“所以食指的意思是‘食物手指’。”符合题意。故选A。②根据前文“Atthattime,peopleoftenusedtheirforefingerstotastefood,suchassoup.They'dquicklydip(浸入)theirforefingersintothesoup."可知，把食指浸入汤中后应该会尝一尝，选项D“然后，他们把手指放进嘴里尝一尝。”符合语境。故选D。③根据后文“Perhapsbecauseitismoreflexible(灵活的)a
