A. boughtB. likedC. soldD. studied【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。由句意“我在园子里种了各种辣椒, Sam为我工作”, 说明我俩都对辣椒感兴趣。B项符合语境。2. A. heavyB. colorfulC. largeD. green【解析】选C。词汇复现题。后文提到比赛中Marcus和Ellen给我们选了两个最大的辣椒, 因此他俩肯定是摘了几个大大的辣椒。3. A. proposalB. trickC. imaginationD. plan【解析】选A。词语辨析题。从接下来一句看, 他们想看看Sam是否能比“我”吃更多的辣椒, 因此提议举行吃辣椒比赛。4. A. plantB. pickC. harvestD. eat【解析】选D。词语辨析题。既然是吃辣椒比赛, 只能选用动词eat。5. A. tasteB. joinC. attendD. share【解析】选B。词语辨析题。句意: 跟他们开了一会儿玩笑后, 我们答应举行比赛, 但是他们也必须要加入我们。从第二段两个孩子作了“妥协”, 同意与两个大人比赛来看, 应选B。join后可跟sb. , 而attend作参加讲不可以跟sb. 。6. A. acceptableB. comfortableC. simpleD. lucky【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。从他们离开了房间来看, 两个孩子没有接受我们的条件。7. A. enteredB. returnedC. wentD. reached【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。他们第一次来没有答应我们的条件就走了, 大约一小时后, 带着一些新摘的辣椒又回来了, 想法也变了。根据“来去来”的情节, B项比A项准确。8. A. SomehowB. UnfortunatelyC. UnexpectedlyD. Anyhow【解析】选A。词语辨析题。不知为什么他们认为红辣椒应当比青的辣。somehow不知怎么地; unfortunately不幸地; unexpectedly未曾预料地; anyhow无论怎样。故只有A项符合句意。9. A. purpleB. greenC. redD. orange【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。从他们提出的条件来看, 他们自己吃青辣椒, 要“我”和Sam吃红辣椒, 由此可以推理出他们认为红辣椒是最辣的。10. A. whileB. butC. soD. if【解析】选D。词语辨析题。这里是Marcus和Ellen新提议中的条件: 如果“我”和Sam吃红辣椒, 他们就吃青辣椒。本题要理解这是在比赛前Marcus和Ellen提出他们自己参加比赛的条件。11. A. smiledB. understoodC. agreedD. jumped【解析】选C。词语辨析题。“我”知道这样他们是要吃亏的, 所以“我”给Sam使了个眼色, 同意了他们的提议。从下文看, 两个大人和两个孩子按照孩子确定的规则开始了“比赛”, 故此处选C项最为准确。12. A. prepareB. selectC. cutD. cook【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。从接下来孩子们为“我”和Sam选辣椒以及他们自己选辣椒的情节可知, 此处意为“为表现高尚的体育精神, 我让孩子们为我和Sam选择辣椒”。13. A. freshB. smallC. deliciousD. hot【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。两个孩子想在“比赛”中占优势, 给两个大人选了两个最大的红辣椒, 为他们自己选了一个小小的青辣椒。此处green同red相对, small同largest相对, 构成对比。14. A. take inB. take onC. take placeD. take out【解析】选C。词语辨析题。“我”和Sam种了很多辣椒, 所以凭“我”的经验, “我”知道(比赛中)将会发生什么。take in吸收, 理解; take on披上, 呈现, 具有; take out去除; take place发生。15. A. more convenientB. more interestingC. happierD. easier【解析】选D。背景常识题。从前文判断, “我”要表现高尚的体育精神, 而且知道孩子们一定会辣得难受; 从后文判断, “我”把一个辣椒切成两半, 去除了辣椒籽儿, 可知此处意为“我告诉他们我会让他们吃起来更舒服、容易一些”。16. A. seedsB. leavesC. skinD. flesh【解析】选A。背景常识题。去掉辣椒籽, 当然可以减少辣味。如果选D, 则成了去掉肉而吃籽, 与文意不符, 亦不合常理。17. A. timeB. skillC. qualityD. quantity【解析】选D。词语辨析题。两个大人每人吃一个最大的, 两个孩子共吃一个小的, 说明此处意为“这是速度的比赛, 而不是数量的比赛”, 即不论吃辣椒的多少。18. A. nervousB. eagerC. willingD. glad【解析】选B。词语辨析题。吃辣椒比赛是两个孩子提出来的, 宁可自己参加也要来一次这样的比赛, 又是按他们提出的条件来比赛的, 他们以为占了大便宜, 由此知此处意为“每个孩子手里拿着辣椒, 急切地等着比赛的开始”。19. A. watchB. childrenC. partnerD. pepper【解析】选A。背景常识题。因为是速度的比赛, 与时间有关, 故合适的意思是“我看着表”。20. A. openedB. coveredC. fannedD. washed【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。本段描写两个孩子的形象十分生动: 两个孩子辣得十分狼狈, 快速地挥动着两只手, 朝嘴巴里扇风(因为辣得难受而做出的一种本能反应)。. 短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加: 在缺词处加一个漏字符号()并在其下面写出该加的词。删除: 把多余的词用斜线()画掉。修改: 在错的词下面画一横线, 在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意: 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起)不计分。Jane and I had been friends since we are in kindergarten, but things were changed when we entered senior high school. Jane began to treat me in a unfriendly way, but she was very closely to some other girls. I kept wonder what was wrong with me. Then suddenly she started acting like my best friends again. Half of I wanted her back, but the other half said, “No, look at how she has done to you! ”I decided have a talk with her and tell her how I felt. She said sorry for me, and now we are best friends again. 答案: 1. 【解析】将第一句中的arewere。根据语境可知此处since引导的时间状语从句应用一般过去时。2. 【解析】将第一句中的were去掉。change是不及物动词, 没有被动语态, 应该用主动语态。3. 【解析】将第二句中的aan。unfriendly前应该用不定冠词an。4. 【解析】将第二句中的closelyclose。此处应该用形容词。be close to意为“与亲密”。5. 【解析】将第三句中的wonderwondering。keep doing sth
