A

    Have you ever eaten a dandelion (蒲公英)? I haven't. Have you ever blown it to make a wish? I have.

    "Time to pick dandelions, Athena," Mum opened the car door and I entered with a book. My hometown is in Greece, where dandelions are always on the menu. But I didn't eat dandelions. Why did I have to pick them with my family every spring?

    I said goodbye to my new friend Brigid, whose family had recently moved in our neighbourhood in New York. I was glad Brigid didn't ask where we were going. Nobody in America ate dandelions. I always worried that someone would notice us picking dandelions.

    We drove into a wild field. Hundreds of lively yellow flowers appeared (出现) everywhere. Then we stopped our car. Dad went over to cut dandelions and put them in his bag. But I just hid in the book. "Why do we eat dandelions?" I asked. "The best food in the world," Dad answered, shaking a handful of greens. When we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mum and Dad talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbours to try our traditional Greek food.

    The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mum served them different Greek foods. Our guests ate everything. Finally came the dandelion dish. "Wait!" I said to Brigid. But it was too late. "You ate the dandelion!" I told her. We both laughed and she ate another bite (一口). "Not bad,'' she said.

    Mum was smiling at us. After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard and lay on the grass. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field. I closed my eyes and made a wish to be as open-minded as my family and my new friend.

   In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers. His palace was always full of beautiful flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would pass away. So he had to find someone to rule the country.

    The other day, the king asked his servants (仆人) to travel to every part of the country and give every person a seed. He then said that the person who grew the most beautiful flower would become the king after him. Everyone in the country was excited, especially a young man named David. He was very good at growing flowers himself. David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight. He watered it carefully every day. But hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.

    Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. "Your Majesty (陛下), I am sorry to say that I could not grow a flower. But I hope you can see that I tried my best," he said.

    The king was moved by David's honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David's honesty would make him the right person to ensure justice (公正) in the country.

答案以及解析

一、单选题

1.答案：B

解析：句意：Tom不如他的同学们学习那么努力，因此他经常通不过考试。as...as意为“和……一样……”，其否定形式是not as/so...as；careful意为“仔细的”，carefully是其副词形式；“careless”意为“粗心的”，carelessly是其副词形式。根据题干中“so he often fails in the exams”及“doesn't”可知此处是说他不如同学们细心。再由空前“study”可知要用副词修饰动词。故选B。

2.答案：A

解析：句意：—你觉得在这场唱歌比赛中的Nelly怎么样？—她选歌最认真，但她的声音却不是最美妙的。考查形容词和副词最高级的用法。careful认真的；carefully认真地；beautiful出色的，美妙的；beautiful美妙地。根据“She chose songs...”可知，此处表示她选歌最认真，此空应是副词最高级most carefully“最认真地”，修饰动词chose“选择”，且副词最高级前通常不用定冠词the；根据“but her voice is not...”可知，此处表示她的声音却不是最出色的，此空应是形容词最高级the most beautiful“最出色的”，作表语，修饰主语her voice“她的声音”。故选A。

3.答案：A

解析：句意：大雪过后，地面一片雪白。许多孩子正在公园里快乐地堆雪人。考查副词词义辨析。happily快乐地；carefully仔细地；quickly快速地。根据“Many kids were making snowmen in the park”可知，这里应指孩子们快乐地堆雪人，故选A。

4.答案：D

解析：句意：我的同桌露西在我们班做作业最认真。考查副词最高级。careful仔细的，形容词；carefully认真地，副词。此处在句中修饰动词，用副词形式，排除A、C；根据“in our class”可知，给出比较范围，是三者以上，用副词最高级。故选D。

5.答案：B

解析：句意：汤姆经常像蒂姆一样认真地做作业。考查副词原级。careful仔细的，形容词；carefully认真地，副词。as...as中间用形容词或副词原级，在句中修饰动词，用副词原级。故选B。

6.答案：C

解析：句意：皮特做作业比之前认真多了。那就是为什么他进步这么多的原因。考查副词比较级的用法。much more careful更仔细的多；more careful更仔细的；much more carefully更仔细地多；much carefully更仔细地。根据“does his homework…than before”可知，是比之前更仔细，故应用比较级；此处应用副词比较级修饰动词does，carefully意为“仔细地”，副词，其比较级为more carefully；much用来修饰比较级。故选C。

7.答案：C

解析：句意：—OMG到底是什么，Suzy？—它代表着“哦，我的上帝”。人们在感到惊讶的时候使用它。考查副词辨析。quickly快速地；finally最终；exactly究竟，到底；carefully仔细地。根据“It stands for 'oh my God'. People use it when they feel surprised.”可知答句对OMG做出了解释，由此推出是问OMG到底是什么。故选C。

8.答案：D

解析：句意：我们有足够的时间，因此我们必须足够仔细地做我们的工作。考查enough的用法及副词的用法。enough要放在名词前，形容词和副词后，空一time为名词，因此enough放于time前，排除选项BC；careful仔细的，形容词；carefully仔细地，副词。空二根据“we must do our work”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词do。故选D。

9.答案：D

解析：考查The+比较级……,the+比较级……。The more careful更小心的；More carefully更小心地；More careful更小心的；The more carefully更小心地；the safer更安全；safer 更安全；more safe错误表达，safe的比较级为safer。根据“…you drive,...it is.”可知此处应用“The+比较级……，the+比较级……”来表示“越……，越……”。drive为动词，应用副词来修饰，因此第一空应填入The more carefully；be 动词 is 后接形容词作表语，因此第二空应填the safer。故选D。

10.答案：A

解析：句意：—她写得多么仔细啊！—噢，她是我们班最仔细的女孩。考查副词及形容词最高级。careful仔细的，形容词；carefully仔细地，副词。根据“How... she is writing!”可知，此处表示她写得很仔细，用副词修饰动词，排除选项BD；由“in my class”可知，空二用形容词最高级，表示“最仔细地”。故选A。

11.答案：D

解析：句意：鲍勃和我一样认真地做作业。考查副词原级。careful认真的，形容词；carefully认真地，副词。此处修饰动词does用副词，排除AC；此处指“和……一样”用结构as...as。故选D。

12.答案：C

解析：句意：为了通过考试，比尔正在认真做他的家庭作业。考查副词辨析。happily高兴地；quickly快速地；carefully细心地。根据“to pass the exam”可知，为了通过考试，做作业应该是"仔细地"，故选C。

13.答案：C

解析： study是动词，应使用副词形式的carefully修饰；in her class划定范围做比较，是最高级的用法。

14.答案：B

解析：根据关键词 wrote，可知其后跟副词，副词修饰动词，排除AC。因为as...as中间用形容词或副词的原级，排除D。故选：B。

15.答案：C

解析：句意：英国人称卡车为“truck”，而美国人称之为“lorry”。考查名词辨析。soccer足球；store商店；lorry卡车；yard院子。根据“People in the UK say truck”，可知此处指卡车，truck同义词为lorry。故选C。

七、书面表达

答案：

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular with Chinese high school students, even with junior middle school students. As for this, people have different opinions.

There are many advantages. First, they can make friends with people of different cultures. Second, they can improve their foreign languages more quickly. Third, they can learn much more knowledge from foreign countries.

On the other hand, disadvantages arise. Some students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Moreover, being far away from their motherland, they may feel lonely and homesick.  And further, the high cost is also a problem for ordinary families.

In my opinion, it is advisable to take so many things into consideration. They can ask teachers or students who have studied abroad for advice and they should try to get everything ready before going abroad.
