B.is C.was D.were【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：——放学后，学生喜欢做什么？——你知道最受欢迎的活动之一是读诗。根据Whatdothestudentsliketodoafterschool?可知是一般现在时态，排除C/D；根据oneof做主语时，谓语动词用单数形式；故选B【点睛】动词be有三种形式am,is,are,表达“是”第一人称单数用am,例如：Iamastudent.第二人称和复数用are,例如：Youareagoodboy./Youarestudents.第三人称单数和不可数名词用is，例如：Heismyson./Milkiswhite.11.Sheeatslessfoodandtakes________exercisetokeepthin.A.many

D.right【答案】16.B17.C18.A19.D20.B21.A22.A23.D24.C25.B【解析】【分析】文章讲述了Rebecca的妈妈在Rebecca学校旁边的商店工作，商店里卖食物，学习用品和衣服。周日Rebecca来到商店给自己和姐姐买了两条短裙。【16题详解】句意：我是一个美国女孩。a不定冠词，修饰辅音音素开头的单词；an不定冠词，修饰元音音素开头的单词；the定冠词，表示特指；/零冠词；本空泛指“一个美国女孩”，由于“American”是元音音素/ə/开头的单词，所以用an修饰，故选B。【17题详解】句意：我母亲在学校旁边的一家商店工作。room房间；classroom教室；school学校；library图书馆；根据“studentsinourschoolgotothestore...”中“thestore”指的是妈妈上班的商店，由于学生们放学后都去商店买东西，可知商店靠近学校，故选C。【18题详解】句意：我们学校的学生每天都去商店买东西。buy买；sell卖；take拿走；want想要；结合常识和给出四个选项可知，“buy”最符合实际，学生们放学后会去商店买东西，故选A。【19题详解】句意：早上，我妈妈8:30去商店，商店9:00开门。evening晚上；afternoon下午；noon中午；morning早上；结合“mymothergoestothestoreat8:30andthestoreopensat9:00.”可知，学校旁边的商店早上开门，故选D。【20题详解】句意：她从早到晚都待在商店里。with和；to向，朝；after在……之后；of属于；from...to...是固定搭配，表示“从……到……”，填入句中表示“从早到晚”，符合妈妈上班的时间，故选B。【21题详解】句意：她回家和我父亲、姐姐和我一起吃晚饭。dinner晚餐；breakfast早餐；lunch午餐；fruit水果；根据“Shestaysatthestorefrommorning...evening.”以及“Andatsevenintheeveningthestoreisclosed.Shegoeshome”可知，商店关门后，妈妈回家吃晚饭，故选A。【22题详解】句意：我去商店了。go去；see看见；help帮忙；need需要；“goto+地点”表示“去某地”，符合语境；see后直接接宾语，不加to，help和need的用法是help/needtodosth.（help后的to可省略），填入句中不合适，此处只有A选项符合，故选A。【23题详解】句意：他们有红色、黑色和黄色的裙子。shoes鞋子；shorts短裤；socks袜子；skirts短裙；根据“Ireallyliketheseskirts.”可知，商店里卖的是短裙，故选D。【24题详解】句意：我觉得裙子价格很好，所以我给自己买了一件红色的小件。when当……时；because因为，表原因；so所以，表结果；but但是，表转折；因为裙子便宜，只要15美元，所以才有“Itakeasmalloneinredformyself...”，应用so连接，故选C。【25题详解】句意：我觉得裙子价格很好，所以我给自己买了一件红色的小的，给我姐姐买了一件黑色的大的。long长的；big大的；short短的；right对的；短裙是大小的区别，根据“Itakeasmalloneinredformyself”可知，此处应该是对应地买了大码的给姐姐，故选B。四、阅读理解(本大题共18小题,共30.0分)AI’mverythankfultothecatanditalwaysmakesmethinkofthetimeIwaswithhim.Fiveyearsago,whenmyfatherwasdying,Itravelledathousandmilesfromhometobewithhiminhislastdays.Ifeltverysadanditwasoneofthemostdifficultandpainfultimesinmylife.Afterhepassedaway,Istartedaloneinhisflat.Thereweresomanythingstodealwith.IwaslonelyandIhatedthesilenceoftheflat.Butoneeveningthesilencewasbroken:Iheardcryingoutside.Iopenedthedoortofindalittlecatonthesteps.Hewasthinandpoor.HelookedthewayIfelt.Ibroughthiminsideandgavehimacanoffish.Heateitandthenalmostimmediatelyfellasleep.Thenextmorning,Icheckedwithneighborsandlearnedthatthecathadbeenleftbyhisowner.Hisownerhadmovedout,sothelittlecatwasthereallalone,justlikeIwas.AsIwalkedbacktotheflat,Itriedtoworkoutwhattodowithhim.HavinganotherthingtotakecareofseemedliketheverylastthingIneeded.ButassoonasIopenedtheflatdoor,herantomeandjumpedintomyarms.Itwasclearfromthatmomentthathedidn’twanttogoanywhere.IstartedcallinghimWillisinordertoremembermyfather’sbestfriend._______.WithWillisonmylap,timeseemedtopassmuchfaster.Whenthetimefinallycameformetoreturnhome,IhadtodecidewhattodoaboutWillis.TherewasabsolutelynowayIwouldleavewithouthim.It’sbeenfiveyearssincemyfatherdied.Overtheyears,severalpeoplehavesaidhowniceitwasofmetorescue(拯救)thecat.ButIknowthatwerescuedeachother,Imayhavegivenhimahomebuthegavemesomethinggreater.26.Assoonasthewritersawthecat,she_________.A.hadpityonhim
