　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇报导，主要介绍的是这些年出现的电脑游戏对孩子们的危害。

　　1.D. 商店应该是沿街修建的，along给了我们很好的提示。

　　2.A. 由前面的"a lot of small shops"可知答案。

　　3.A. 电脑游戏厅里经常是有很多人在玩游戏，尤其是青少年居多，people是集体名词，本身是复数；person是单数名词，化复数时应该加上s；woman和girl分别表示“女人”和“女孩”。所以这里用people最佳。

　　4.D. 这是一个固定短语，spend…(in) doing…。

　　5.B. 想赢计算机往往是不可能的事情。easy (容易)，hard (难的)，important (重要的)，beautiful (美丽的)几个词中用hard 最佳。

　　6.C. 介词后面应该加动名词做宾语。多次玩电脑游戏会取得一定的进步，但想赢计算机却很难。

　　7.B. 输的越多，就越想赢回来。这是一般人的心理。

　　8.C. 如果孩子们总是惦记着玩游戏，那么他们就不会在意他们的学习了。difference的意思是“区别”，secret的意思是“秘密”，mind的意思是“注意，念头”，duty则表示“职责”。根据它们的区别和一般常识，这里用mind最佳。

　　9.D. 拿到钱的孩子很“幸运”，拿不到钱的就恰好相反了。

　　10.C. 根据所给的词语的意思are(是)，look like(看起来像)，become(成为)，like(喜欢)和实际情况选择become最合理。

　　Today, paper still (2)______ from trees. We use (3)______ paper every day. We must begin using (4)_________ paper now because it (5)_________ about 100 years for a tree to grow.

　　How can we (6)_______ paper? We can use (7)_______ sides of every piece of paper. We can reuse envelopes. We can choose drinks in (8)_______ instead of those in card-board cartons (纸盒). We can use plastic cups and plates instead of paper (9)______. We can also use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues (纸巾).

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了纸的发明和如何节约用纸的情况。

　　1.B. be made of和be made from 都可以表示“由……制成”，前者通过成品可以看出原材料；后者则通过成品不能看出原材料。

　　2.A. 现在的纸张仍然是大部分来自于树木。come的意思是“来”，make的意思是“制作”，get表示“得到”，use则表示“使用”。因此这里用come最佳。

　　3.C. 我们每天要消耗大量的纸张，paper还是不可数名词，many只修饰可数名词复数；a few修饰可数名词复数，它的意思是“一些”；a little修饰不可数名词复数，但它的意思是“一些”；所以这里用a lot of (许多)最恰当，它既可以修饰可数名词复数，又可以修饰不可数名词。

　　4.C. 我们应该节约用纸，因为树木越来越少，而且生长速度慢。paper 是不可数名词，用less表示这一含义最恰当。

　　5.A. take表示“花费时间”时，多用it做形式主语。其他几个词语则没有这种用法。

　　6.B. use的意思是“使用”，save表示“节约”，get是“得到”的意思，make则表示“制造”。下文介绍的都是节约用纸的方法，所以这里用save最佳。

　　7.D. 纸张都是正反两面的，both的意思就是“两者都”，后加名词复数；all表示“三者或三者之上都”；every 和each 的意思是“每个”，后加名词单数。因此这里用both最佳。

　　8.B. 根据所给的词语的意思pot (锅)，bottle(瓶子)，box(箱子)，bag(书包)，用bottles喝饮料是比较合理的。

　　9.B. 这里用代词ones替代前面的复数名词plastic cups and plates.

　　10.A. 这里是时间的延续，later就有这层含义, lately的意思是“近来”。

　　( )9. A. returned back B. came back C. looked for D. left

　　( )10.A. when B. if C. and D. yet

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了Mr White用一个巧妙的办法将其他人从屋里请了出去，而自己去享用火炉的故事。

　　1.C. 在雨中走了一下午，全身肯定是湿透了。tired (累的)，thirsty (口渴的)，hungry (饥饿的)，wet (潮湿的)这四个词用wet最佳。

　　2.A. 根据下文可知饭馆里有一个火炉。

　　3.A. 这里是说Mr White看到人们坐在火炉旁，这里是一句明显的过去进行时态。

　　4.B. 下面介绍的就是他想出的主意。名词way以辅音开头，idea以元音开头，所以这里用idea 比较合理。

　　5.C. bring的意思是“带来”，take的意思是“带走”，这里是说给马拿鱼去，用take最佳。

　　6.B. 这里从意思上看是一个很明显的转折，所以应该用连词but。

　　7.C. 根据所给词语的词义think(认为)，be(是)，feel(感觉)，want (想要)可知用feel最合理。

　　8.A. Mr White一定是坐在火炉旁边的。

　　9.B. 只有人们回来之后才能和Mr White进行交谈的。return 与come (get )back同义，意思是“返回”；look for表示“寻找”；leave表示“离开”；因此这里用come back 最佳。

　　10.B. 这是一个前提，如果马不吃鱼，Mr White就会吃的。

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了人们进行交流的几种方式。

　　1.D. 下文介绍的都是没有语言的交流方式，所以用介词without 即可。

　　2.C. 面带微笑就表示一个人很高兴。

　　3.B. 眼含泪花一定是一种悲伤的心情，helpful (有帮助的)，sad(悲伤的)，pleased (满意的)，glad (高兴的)。

　　4.C. 在课堂上，学生举手就表明他有事情向老师询问或有其他事情。put on 的意思是“穿戴，上演”；put out意思是“扑灭”；put up 的意思是“举起”； put down 的意思是“放下”。因此这里用put up 最佳。

　　5.D. 在课堂上，只有学生要回答问题或有其他事情要说才会举手的，所以这里用to say最佳。

　　6.A. from side to side 的意思是“从一边到另一边”，头从一边到另一边肯定是在移动。

　　7.B. 当人摇头时，表明他不同意某种观点，也就是在说“不”。

　　8.C. 根据下面的"which bus it is" 可知这是在车站。

　　9.B. 标志或提示语会帮助人们找到所要寻找的地方。read 的意思是“读”，find是“找到”，watch是“观看”，walk 是“行走”。

　　10.B. 门上的标志会告诉你从哪里进，从哪里出。where就是这种意思，其他几个疑问词没有这种含义。

　　11.D. 根据后面的ever noticed 可知这里用现在完成时态比较合理。

　　12.A. 我们的身边有许多标志的，我们随处可见。under的意思是“在……下面”，over表示“在……上方”，by 的意思是“通过”；around则表示“在……周围”。

　　13.A. 我们从标志上可以得到信息。这四个介词中，from的意思是“从……”，for的意思是“为了……”，of 的意思是“……的”，about是“关于”的意思。所以这里用from 最佳。

　　14.D. 根据前面的词语books, newspapers, TV, radios可知这些都是传播媒体，因此这里用films为宜。

　　15.B. 上面介绍的传播媒体帮助我们更好地了解世界，learn是“学习”的意思；know的意思是“知道，了解”；find是“发现”的意思；hear则表示“听见”。因此这里用know比较合理。

　　We were going to play against a team from a country school. They didn't come until the game time arrived. They looked (1)______ than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue jeans and looked like farm boys. We even thought that they had never seen a basketball before.

　　It was already so late that no (3)_______ could be given to them for a warm-up. The game began.

　　One of our boys (4)______ the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward (前锋). From out of nowhere a boy in a dirty T-shirt (5)_______ the pass and with a beautiful form he shot and got two points.

　　They (6)______us.

　　Then they got another pair of points (7)_______a minute.

　　Soon it was all over. The country team (8)_______us.

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍的是与想象相差甚远的一场篮球赛。

　　1.C. 根据后面的句子"They were wearing dirty blue jeans and looked like farm boys." 可知对方球队与想象大相径庭，简直是差了很多。所以这里用worse 最佳。

　　2.D. 根据前句"We all sat down."以及对方球队的面貌可知“我们”是不需要训练了。

　　3.D. 由于时间太晚了，所以对方球队热身的时间都没有了。

　　4.A. 在篮球比赛中，只有先得到球，才能传球。get 的意思是“得到”，play 的意思是“玩”，miss的意思是“错过”， carry 的意思的“搬运”。所以这里用get最佳。

　　5.D. 这里所说的是我们的球被对方断了之后接着投球得分。catch 的意思是“抓住”，change的意思是“改变”， start的意思是“开始”，stop表示“阻止，停止”。因此这里用stop 为宜。

　　6.A. 本来“我们”看不起对方，但由于对方先得分了，所以让我们感到很吃惊。

　　7.B. 这里所说的是对方在一分钟之内连续得分，介词in可以表示“在……之内”。

　　8.C. 这里所说的是对方击败了我们，所以用beat最佳。动词win往往表示赢得比赛；save是“挽救”的意思；join则表示“加入”。

　　9.A. 由于是“我们”输掉了比赛，所以应该是我们去吸取教训。

　　10.B. 这是一个客观规律，不能以貌取人。也不能以人的衣服好坏评价人。
