參考答案

1.答案：D

2.答案：C

3.答案：B

4.答案：D

解析：理解詞匯根據(jù)畫線詞所在句中的“and”可知，畫線詞所在的不定式短語與"to

readmore"是并列關(guān)系，"toreadmore"指的是多閱讀，畫線詞所在的不定式短語所表達(dá)

的意思應(yīng)與"多閱讀"一致，故D項(xiàng)"讀寫能力”與畫線詞的意思一致。

5.答案：B

解析：推斷根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容、第四段中的"Thesixth-gradersaid...evenmorebooks"、第

五段中的"Beyondreading...tobehavebetter"和最后一段中的"Thisvendingmachineisjust

onewaytohelpstudentssucceed"可知，自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生積極成長。故B項(xiàng)正確。

6.答案：C

解析：理解具體信息根據(jù)第四段中的"Thishassomedifferentbooksthatthelibrary

doesn'thaveandFmabletokeepthebooklongerbecauseit'sminesoIhavemoretimeto

readit"和"Shealsosharedthatsherereadsbooksoften,sobeingabletochooseabookthat

shecantakehomeisarealplus"可知,Lucy之所以要用自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)，是因?yàn)橄矚g選擇和

重讀圖書。故C項(xiàng)正確。

7.答案：C

解析：理解文章主旨要義根據(jù)文章第一段的內(nèi)容可知，學(xué)校為了鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生多閱讀和幫

助提高學(xué)區(qū)學(xué)生的讀寫能力，便在學(xué)校增添Inches書蟲自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)；再根據(jù)下文老師

和學(xué)生對這種自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)的反饋可知，自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)發(fā)揮了良好的效果。因此C項(xiàng)"激

勵(lì)學(xué)生閱讀的獨(dú)特方法"最適合作本文標(biāo)題。故C項(xiàng)正確。

29.答案：sank

解析：

30.答案：deadline

解析：

31.答案：blank

解析：根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，這里應(yīng)該填一個(gè)形容詞，空白:blank,形容詞，goblank（變得空

白），固定搭配，所以答案填blank。

32.答案：purchased

解析：

33.答案：fond

解析：考查形容詞。句意:許多英國人喜歡園藝。根據(jù)句意和中文提示可知，表示“喜

愛”應(yīng)用fond,為形容詞，在本句中作表語，而befondof表“喜歡”，為固定搭

配。故填fondo

34.答案：absorb

解析：根據(jù)括號內(nèi)詞義，"吸收"可譯為absorb,根據(jù)Onceit'sinthesoil可知本句用一

般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，分析句子可知橫線處作句子謂語，主語plants是復(fù)數(shù)，所以橫線處用動(dòng)詞

原形。故填:absorb。

35.答案：stress

解析：考查名詞。句意:安東尼在照顧大家庭的壓力下快要崩潰了。結(jié)合"caringforhis

largefamily"可知，"壓力"應(yīng)用名詞stress,與心理或情感狀態(tài)相關(guān)，為不可數(shù)名詞，作

under的賓語，underthestressof表示"在的壓力之下"。故填stress。

36.答案：harmonious

解析：考查形容詞。句意:整個(gè)園林的布局體現(xiàn)了水與山的和諧之態(tài)?！焙椭C的”為形容

詞harmonious,作定語，修飾名詞manner,故填harmonious。

37.答案：seize

解析：考查動(dòng)詞。句意:我必須抓住這個(gè)進(jìn)入國際企業(yè)的黃金機(jī)會(huì)。根據(jù)漢語提示可

知，seize"抓住"，動(dòng)詞，情態(tài)動(dòng)詞must后接動(dòng)詞原形，故填seize。

38.答案：worthyof

解析：

39.答案：relyon

解析：根據(jù)所給的漢語提示“依靠"和空前的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can可知，此處動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用原形，”

依靠"的英語是relyon。故填:relyon。

40.答案：dozensof

解析：根據(jù)括號內(nèi)詞義，"許多"可譯為dozensof,是固定搭配。故填:dozensof。

41.答案：turndown

解析：根據(jù)漢語提示"拒絕"可知，此處為動(dòng)詞短語turndown,位于情態(tài)動(dòng)詞wouldn't

后面，使用動(dòng)詞原形。故填:turndown。

42.答案：insorrow

解析：

43.答案：toblame

解析：betoblame固定短語，該受責(zé)備，應(yīng)承擔(dān)責(zé)任。故結(jié)合句意和提示填toblame。

44.答案：it

解析：考查代詞it。句意:有些學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)很難記住英語單詞。分析句子可知，空處用形

式賓語it,真正的賓語是不定式短語"tomemorizeEnglishwords",故填it。

45.答案：influential

解析：根據(jù)括號內(nèi)詞義，”有影響力的”可譯為influential,形容詞influential作定語修飾

名詞artistso故填:influential。

46.答案：frequently

解析：考查單詞填空.根據(jù)句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，要填入frequently,副詞修飾動(dòng)詞washing.

故填frequently.

47.答案：are

解析："notonly…butalso.，為固定搭配，意為“不僅，而且”，遵循就近原則，謂語

動(dòng)詞的數(shù)與最近的主語"m
