一、单项选择
1．—Could I speak to Mrs. Black, please?
—Sorry, she ________ to the library.
A．is going B．has gone C．has been D．will to
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——我可以和布莱克夫人通话吗？——对不起，她去图书馆了。
考查动词时态。is going to一般将来时；has gone to去了某地；has been to去过某地；will to表述错误。根据“Could I speak to Mrs. Black, please?”可知询问是否可以与布莱克夫人通话，由答语“Sorry”可知布莱克夫人不在，说明她已经去了图书馆还没回来。故选B。
2．Can you tell me _______?
A．whom do we have to see B．whom we have to see
C．who do we have to see D．which was the way to the station
【答案】B
【详解】句意：你能告诉我我们要见谁吗？
考查宾语从句语序和时态。根据“Can you tell me...”可知，本句为宾语从句，宾语从句为陈述语序，故排除选项A和C；宾语从句时态遵循“客观真理永一现”的原则，问路是陈述事实，所以应用一般现在时，故排除选项D，故选B。
3．—Could you offer me a job, Madam?
—I’m afraid I’m not in a(an) _______ to help you. I’m just a salesman here.
A．condition B．environment C．situation D．position
【答案】D
【详解】句意：——夫人，你能给我一份工作吗？——恐怕我帮不了你的忙。我在这里只是个销售员。
考查名词辨析。condition状况；environment环境；situation情况；position位置。根据“I’m just a salesman here.”可知，对方只是个销售员，因此应该是帮不了忙，in position“在适当的位置”。故选D。
4．— Why were the villagers so heartbroken?
— Their worst fears were ________. Their shabby (破旧的) houses were washed away by the floods.
A．reached B．realized C．completed D．controlled
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——为什么村民们如此伤心？——他们最担心的事情发生了。他们破旧的房子被洪水冲走了。
考查动词辨析。reached到达；realized意识到；completed完成；controlled控制。根据后句“Their shabby houses were washed away by the floods.”可知，他们破旧的房子被洪水冲走了，应该是他们最担心的事情发生了。故选A。
5．With the development of China, Chinese ________ by more and more people in the world.
A．speaks B．is spoken C．is speaking D．was spoken
【答案】B
【详解】句意：随着中国的发展，世界上说汉语的人越来越多。
考查一般现在时的被动语态。根据“by more and more people in the world”可知，应用被动结构“主语+be done+其他”，所以排除A、C；分析语境可知，“世界上说汉语的人越来越多”是在陈述一个事实，所以时态应为一般现在时，排除D。故选B。
6．Some workers are building a school in the village. I hope it ________ before September this year.
A．will finish B．finishes C．is finished D．will be finished
【答案】D
【详解】句意：一些工人正在村里建一所学校。我希望能在今年九月之前完工。
考查一般将来时的被动语态。根据时间状语“before September this year”可知，“完成”的动作还没有发生，因此时态用一般将来时，且主语it和谓语动词finish之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态。一般将来时的被动语态结构为：will be+动词的过去分词。故选D。
7．I’m going to the library _________ after class because I have only two minutes on the way.
A．alone B．straight C．suddenly D．easily
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我下课后马上去图书馆，因为路上只有两分钟的时间。
考查副词辨析。alone独自；straight径直；suddenly突然；easily容易地。根据“after class because I have only two minutes on the way.”可知路上只有两分钟，所以下课后要径直去图书馆。故选B。
8．Few students could understand the sentence until it ________ by Miss Chen.
A．explained B．was explained C．was explaining D．have explained
【答案】B
【详解】句意：很少有学生能理解这个句子，直到陈老师解释了它。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据“Few students could understand the sentence”可知句子时态为一般过去时，而主语it和谓语explain为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，一般过去时的被动语态的谓语结构为“was/were+done”，故选B。
9．There is ________ juice in the fridge. Let’s go and get some.
A．few B．a few C．little D．a little
【答案】C
【详解】句意：冰箱里几乎没有果汁。我们去买点吧。
考查代词用法。few极少，修饰可数名词复数；a few一些，修饰可数名词复数；little极少，修饰不可数名词；a little一些，修饰不可数名词。空后“juice”是不可数名词，排除AB；根据题干中“Let’s go and buy some.”可知需要买果汁，冰箱里应是几乎没了，用little而不用a little。故选C。

10．A small goldfish ________ about 4 grams.
A．weigh B．weight C．weighs D．weights
【答案】C
【详解】句意：一条小金鱼重约4克。
考查主谓一致。weigh重，是动词；weight重量，是名词。此处是作谓语 ，应用动词，主语是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式，故选C。

二、用所给单词的正确形式填空
11．On her way back to the school, Lucy met a friend of . (she)
【答案】hers
【详解】句意：在回学校的路上，露西遇到了她的一个朋友。“of+名词性物主代词”是双重所有格，“a friend of+名词性物主代词”意思是“某人的一位朋友”。she“她”是人称代词主格，hers“她的”是名词性物主代词。故填hers。
12．He was amused to see how (serious) she took the game.
【答案】seriously
【详解】句意：看到她如此认真地对待这项运动，他觉得很好笑。根据“she took the game.”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词took，serious“认真的”对应的副词是seriously。 故填seriously。
13．The farmer was very （thank）to the doctor because he saved his wife’s life.
【答案】thankful
【详解】句意：农夫非常感谢医生，因为他救了他妻子的命。根据“The farmer was very…（thank）to the doctor because he saved his wife’s life.”可知，本空放在was后面，应用形容词形式。thank主要用作动词、名词。意为“感谢”，其形容词形式为thankful，意为“感谢的，欣慰的”。be thankful to 后面加人，意为“感谢某人”故填thankful。
14．Today, no people—except for a few scientists—are to live in the national park.（allow）
【答案】allowed
【详解】句意：今天，除了少数科学家外，没有人被允许居住在国家公园里。主语与allow之间是被动关系，因此空处用过去分词与are一起构成被动语态。be allowed to do表示“被允许做某事”。故填allowed。
15．Lanzhou Olympic Sports Center (complete) in 2022 and now is open.
【答案】was completed
【详解】句意：兰州奥体中心于2022年建成，现已对外开放。complete“完成”，动词。主语“Lanzhou Olympic Sports Center”和谓语动词complete构成动宾关系，应用被动语态。由句中“in 2022”知，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其构成为“was/were+过去分词”，主语“Lanzhou Olympic Sports Center”为第三人称单数，用was构成被动语态。故填was completed。
16．We should make a right plan for ourselves and try our best (reach) our goals.
【答案】to reach
【详解】句意：我们应该为自己制定一个正确的计划，并尽我们最大努力实现我们的目标。根据“try our best...our goals”可知，try one’s best to do sth表示“尽某人最大努力去做某事”，空处需填“不定式to+动词原形”，reach”实现”，动词。故填to reach。
17．Your opinion is (consider) to be of great value to him.
【答案】considered
【详解】句意：你的意见被认为对他很有价值。分析“Your opinion is...to be of great value to him.”可知，意见被认为很有价值，be considered to be“被认为是……”，故填considered。
18．It was jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food (throw) away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables to a number of uneaten dishes.
【答案】was thrown
【详解】句意：有多少完好的食物被丢弃是令人震惊的——从“丑陋”（但可食用）的蔬菜到大量的未食用的菜肴。此处“It”为形式主语，真正的主语为“how much”引导的主语从句。通过对句子结构的分析可知，主语从句欠缺谓语，所以设空处需填入谓语动词。根据“It was jaw-dropping”可知，主语从句的谓语也应用一般过去时，又因主语“food”和谓语动词“throw”为被动关系，所以，设空处用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was thrown。

CREEPY-CRAWLIES
The superfood of the future?
The number of people in the world is growing fast—every year there are about 70 million more people. So, we’ve got two questions that need answers: have we got enough space on our planet for so many people and how can we 39 we’ve all got enough food to live?
Many people eat too much meat—steaks, beef burgers, sausages, etc. That’s not good for us and we need big farms to produce all that meat. The farms already use 30% of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy. However, we can do something to 40 .We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables—that’s healthy. We can eat some different types of meat—creepy-crawlies 41 ! That’s right, grasshoppers, worms, flies and lots of other insects. They’re the superfood of the future. They’ve got a lot of protein. Protein is very important for our health, and it’s good for our hair and our skin.
Protein keeps our muscles and bones in good condition as well.
There are two more reasons why insects are good food 42 insect farms don’t need so much water and energy. Also, they don’t use so much space.
For some people in countries in Asia and Latin America, eating insects is not 43 . But for people in Europe and many other countries, it seems very strange.
What about you? Do you eat any healthy food? How much meat do you eat in a week? Perhaps you think you don’t eat insects? But maybe you’re 44 . Why’s that? Because the red food colouring that is in many things that we eat comes from an insect called the cochineal beetle.

39．句意：因此，我们有两个问题需要回答：我们的星球上有足够的空间容纳这么多人吗？我们如何才能确保我们都有足够的食物来生活？
deal with处理；make sure确保；find out找出；point out指出。根据“have we got enough space on our planet for so many people?”可知，我们如何确保有足够的食物来生活。故选B。
40．句意：然而，我们可以做些事来帮忙。
help帮忙；worry担心；warn警告；survive幸存。根据“The farms already use 30%of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy.” 可知，人类的增长和活动对地球的生存环境产生了很大的影响，所以人们要做些事情来帮助减少对环境的破坏，故选A。
41．句意：我们还可以吃一些不同类型的肉——爬虫。
never从不；still仍然；yet还；too还，也。根据“We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables—that’s healthy.”和“We can eat some different types of meat—creepy-crawlies”可知，此处是在列举人们可以做哪些事情来帮助减少对环境的破坏，此处指“也可以……”。故选D。
42．句意：昆虫之所以是很好的食物选择还有两个原因——昆虫养殖场不需要那么多的水和能源。
choices选择；diets日常饮食；menus菜单；lists名单。结合语境可知前文提到人们要吃很多的肉，而昆虫可以代替肉，所以它也是食物选择之一。故选A。
43．句意：对于亚洲和拉丁美洲国家的一些人来说，吃昆虫是很寻常的。
unlucky不幸的；unnecessary不必要的；unimportant不重要的；unusual不寻常的。根据“But for people in Europe and many other countries, it seems very strange.”可知，对于亚洲和拉丁美洲国家的一些人来说，吃昆虫不奇怪，即很寻常。横线前有not，双重否定表肯定，not unusual表示“不罕见的，寻常的”。故选D。
44．句意：但也许你错了。
true正确的；mad疯狂的；wrong错的；natural自然的。根据“Perhaps you think you don’t eat insects”和“because the red food colouring that is in many things that we eat comes from an insect called the cochineal beetle.”可知，我们吃的许多东西中的红色食用色素来自一种名为胭脂虫的昆虫。所以许多人认为自己不吃昆虫的想法是错误的。故选C。

SOLOMON SLOW was the son of a gentleman, who lived on the border of the New Forest. His mother called him Solomon. “Because,” she said, “slow and sure is sure to do well. He is a wise child.”
“Yes,” said his father, “but he is too slow and unless he becomes a little quick and a little less lazy, I shall never make a man of him.”
When he was about ten years old, his father and some friends planned a picnic in the Forest and hired a large van to take them there. They were to set out at seven in the morning. Solomon knew this as he had heard his father say so the night before.
It was a really fine day when he woke up at six the next morning, but he was as lazy as ever. “If I get up about ten minutes before seven,” said he, “I shall be down in plenty of time.” So he lay still in bed and heard all the party pass his door as they went downstairs.
They even called to him; but he gave no answer, and only lazily rolled himself up in the clothes. At last, up he jumped, dressed, and ran down the stairs but he found the breakfast-room empty, and the van gone!
Snatching (抓) up his hat he ran as fast as he could down the road; but there was a high wind and the dust was in clouds everywhere. He screamed and shouted for the van to stop; but it’s useless. No one could hear him and at last, tired with running and half fed with dust he walked sadly home.
But even this did not cure him. He was a lazy boy and grew up to be a lazy man; and when in business, though the bus passed his door every day he was seldom ready.
