句意：然后她决定自己教他们。此处是固定短语，by neself“独自；亲自”。故填herself。
【42题详解】
句意：然而，她并没有停止学习。根据“After retiring, she wrked as a museum.”和“she didn’t stp learning.”可知，前后是转折关系，且题空后有逗号，所以这里填hwever，且在句首，首字母大写。故填Hwever。
【43题详解】
句意：她认为让老年人的生活更有意义很重要。根据“it’s imprtant fr senir”可知，这里是固定句型：It’s+形容词+fr sb t d sth，意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”。故填t make。
【44题详解】
句意：她认为让老年人的生活更有意义很重要。根据前面空中的“make”可知，此处是make+sth+adj意为“使某物怎么样”，make是使役动词，意为“使，让”，后面跟形容词做宾语补足语，且这里表示为“有意义”，因此是meaningful。故填meaningful。
七、用括号内所给中文或英文提示的适当形式填空(共5小题;每小题1分，共5分)
45. This schlarship is t reward an ________ (杰出的) student named Jasper.
【答案】utstanding
【解析】
【详解】句意：该奖学金是为了奖励一位名叫Jasper的优秀学生。由“an”可知，此处用utstanding表示“杰出的”，形容词作定语，修饰名词student。故填utstanding。
46. Is it necessary fr everyne t ________ (出席) the bring meeting?
【答案】attend
【解析】
【详解】句意：有必要每个人都出席那个无聊的会议吗？根据汉语提示可知，对应的英文表达是attend，动词，意为“出席”，it’s necessary fr sb. t d sth.“对于某人来说做某事是有必要的”。故填attend。
47. —D yu feel better, hney?
—N, Mum, I think I’m getting even ________ (ill).
【答案】wrse
【解析】
【详解】句意：——感觉好点了吗，亲爱的？——没有，妈妈。我觉得我甚至更糟了。根据“even”可知，空处应用比较级wrse，表示“病情更严重的”。故填wrse。
48. T celebrate the Natinal Day and Mid-autumn Festival, we had eight days ________ (休息) last mnth.
【答案】ff
【解析】
【详解】句意：为了庆祝国庆节和中秋节，我们上个月休息了八天。“have…ff”意为“休假”，其中ff为副词，意为“休息”，故填ff。
49. Withut ________ (mix) the il and flur dugh, we can’t make the ndles taste gd.
【答案】mixing
【解析】
【详解】句意：不把油和面粉混合在一起，我们就做不出好吃的面条。mix“混合”。根据“withut”可知，介词后应用动名词作宾语。故填mixing。
八、根据所给中文完成句子(共6小题;每小题1.5分，共9分)
50. 他到家就迫不及待浏览新闻。
He ________ as sn as he gt hme.
【答案】culdn’t wait t lk thrugh the news
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照，可知此处需填“迫不及待浏览新闻”。can’t wait t d sth“迫不及待做某事”，句子为一般过去时，can需使用过去式culd；lk thrugh“浏览”；the news“新闻”。故填culdn’t wait t lk thrugh the news。
51. 上海的天气不如北京寒冷。
The weather in Shanghai isn’t ________ in Beijing.
【答案】as cld as##s cld as
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空格处为“和……一样寒冷”as cld as。根据“isn’t”可知，此处还可以用nt s cld as表示“不如……寒冷”。故填as cld as/s cld as。
52. 当你遇到困难时，最好不要将它们放在心里。
While meeting sme prblems, yu had better ________.
【答案】nt take them t heart
【解析】
【详解】根据中文意思可知，此处考查“不要放在心里”，根据“had better nt d sth.最好不要做某事”可知，此处用否定句，“放在心里”译为“ heart”，them指代“它们”。故填nt take them t heart。
53. 这场篮球比赛将在什么地方进行？
Where ________?
【答案】will the basketball match be held
【解析】
【详解】根据英汉对照可知，需要补充内容“篮球比赛”以及“进行”，the basketball match“篮球比赛”，hld动词“进行，举行”。主语“比赛”与动词“进行”之间是被动关系，且题干用一般将来时，因此横线处用一般将来时的被动语态will be dne，疑问句助动词will提至主语之前。故填will the basketball match be held。
54. 外面太冷了，我建议你不要打开窗户。
It’s t cld utside. I ________ the windw.
【答案】advise yu nt t pen
【解析】
【详解】advise sb nt t d sth“建议某人不要做某事”，是动词短语；yu“你”；pen“打开”。根据 “It’s t cld utside”可知，时态用一般现在时，主语为I，谓语动词用原形。故填advise yu nt t pen。
55. 最终，在所有人中这个男孩犯的错最少。
The by ________ f all at last.
【答案】made the fewest mistakes
【解析】
【详解】犯错：make mistakes，根据语境可知，句子用一般过去时，动词用过去式；此处修饰可数名词复数mistakes用形容词最高级fewest“最少”修饰，最高级前加定冠词the。故填made the fewest mistakes。
