第I卷选择题（共60分）

一、选择填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）

从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

I.—You'vedropped"f"intheword"giraffe".

—Oh,letter"f"shouldbedoubled.

A.a;aB.a;theC.an;the

［答案］C

［解析］句意：——在这个单词"giraffe"里面你已经丢了个f。——哦，那个字母f应该双写。第一空表示

泛指，字母f是发音是元音音素，用不定冠词an；第二空表示特指，这里用定冠词the。根据题意，故选C。

2_studentsinourclassgoingtothesummercampinBeijingnextweek.

A.Twofifths;isB.Secondfifths;are

C.Secondfifths;isD.Twofifths;are

［答案］D

［解析］句意：我们班五分之二的学生打算下周去北京参加夏令营。表达分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数

词，因此五分之二的表达应该是tw。fifths,排除B、C；分数后面的名词为复数名词students,根据主谓一

致的原则，只能用are,故答案选D。

3.WhenIthinkoftheworriedofforeignstudentswhoarelearningChinese,Icangotostudy

Englishcalmly.

A.looksB.designsC.effortsD.needs

［答案］A

［解析］句意：当我想起正在学习汉语的外国学生们担心的表情时，我就能平静地学习英语了。looks表情；

designs设计；efforts努力；needs需要。根据句中theworried…和四个单词的意思可知，应选A,表示“担

忧的表情”，比较符合句意，故应选A。

4.一Jim,let'sgoouttoplaybasketball.

一Oh,Iwon'tdothat___Ifinishmyhomework.

A.ifB.untilC.becauseD.since

［答案］B

［解析］句意：——吉姆，我们出去打篮球吧。——哦，我要做完作业才能做那件事.A.if如果；B.until直

到.为止；C.because因为；D.since自从。not...until直到....才....。until引导时间状语从句，故答

案为Bo

5.—It'sagoodwaytostudyEnglishwithagroup.

一That'strue.Ifindittoimproveourpronunciation.

A.thankfulB.harmfulC.helpfulD.careful

［答案］C

［解析］句意：——这是和一群人一起学习英语的好方法。——那是真的，我发现它对提高我们的发音有帮助。

考查形容词辨析。A.lhankful感谢的；B.harmful有害的；C.helpful有帮助的；D.careful仔细的。根据上文

IfsagoodwaytostudyEnglishwithagroup.既然是学习英语的好方法，可推知应是对提高我们的发音有帮

助，故答案选C。

6.—Look,thereisacutebird,Mom.

一Itflewintoourkitchenthewindowjustnow,Alex.

A.acrossB.throughC.aboveD.under

［答案］B

［解析］句意：——妈妈，看，有一只可爱的小鸟。——亚历克斯，它刚刚穿过窗户飞进我们的厨房。A.穿过

（从表面穿过）；B.穿过（从内部穿过）；C.在……上（不一定是正上方）：D.在……下方（正下方）。根据句

意可知，小鸟穿过窗户内部飞进来，用through,故选B。

7.—haveyoubeenskating?

名词的数量。答句：我从七岁就一直在滑冰，描述的是动作持续的时间的长度，用howlong提问。故选A。

8.Ido,Idoitforyou.Donoteverdoubtthat,myboy.

A.WhateverB.WhereverC.WheneverD.Whoever

［答案］A

［解析］句意：不管我做什么，我都是为你做的。别怀疑，孩子°Whatever无论什么；B.Wherever无论在哪

里；C.Whenever无论何时；D.Whoever无论谁。分析句子Ido,Idoitforyou.的结构可知，本

题缺少的是宾语，也就是do的宾语，能充当宾语的是选项A/D,故排除B/C；Whoever无论谁，指人，做

do的宾语不合适，排除。whatever是连词，引导让步状语从句。从句意上说是在从句中做do的宾语。语境

是：不管我做什么，我都是为你做的。故选A。

9.Afterplayingfootballformorethanhalfanhour,thestudentstookrest.

A.afewminute,sB.alittleminute's

C.afewminutes'D.alittleminutes5

［答案］c

［解析］句意：踢了半个多小时的足球后，学生们休息了几分钟。alittle"有点儿"，修饰不可数名词，minute

面加"‘"。故答案为Co

10.Thewedoforotherpeople,thewewillbe.

C.more；happierD.most；happiest

［答案］C

［解析］句意：我们为其他的人做的更多，我们就会越高兴。越…就越…即ihe+形容词比较级…；...the+形容

词比较级…表示"越……就越……”，第一空用much的比较级是more。排除A、D；第二个空用happy的比

较级happier。根据题意，故选C,

11.一Ican'tfindmyphoneanywhere.

-Youhavelostitwhileshopping.

A.mayB.canC.shouldD.would

［答案］A

［解析］句意：——我找不到我的电话了。——你可能在购物时把它弄丢了。A.可能，表示推测；B.能（表示

现在的能力）；C.应该，表示要求、命令、建议和劝告；D.能，会。根据句意可知，表示推测，译为“可能在

购物时丢了“，故选A。

12.—usefuladvicehegaveme!-kindheis!

A.What,HowB.How,WhatC.Whata,HowD.Whatan,How

［答案］A

［解析］句意：他给我的是多么有用的建议啊！他是多么的善良啊！考查感叹句的用法。what修饰名词或名词

短语，有以下两种形式：LWhat+a（an）+（形容词）+单数可数名词+主语+谓语！或是：What+名词词组+

主语+谓语！2.What+（形容词）+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语！由How引导的感叹句。how用

来修饰形容词、副词或动词。其结构是：How+形容词（副词）+主语+谓语！第一句中advice（建议）是不

可数名词，需用引导词what;第二句kind（好的）是形容词，需用引导词how。根据句意结构，故选A。

13.Theywon'tallowusatthisbeach.

A.swimmingB.toswimC.swamD.swim

［答案］B

［解析］试题分析：allowsbtodosth:允许某人做某事。为固定搭配。

14.Almosteveryschoolnowhasawebsitewhichallowsustotheinformationaboutit.

A.lookatB.lookafterC.lookaroundD.lookthrough

［答案］D

［解析］句意：现在几乎每个学校都有一个网站，可以允许我们浏览它的相关信息。lookat看…；lookafter

照顾；lookaround环顾四周；lookthrough浏览，复习。根据句意和空后的theinformation可知，这里表示“浏

览信息”，故应选D。

15.一Doyouknowthisafternoon?

一I'mnotsure,butIwilltellyouassoonasshe.

A.howwillBettyarrive;arrivesB.howBettywillarrive;willarrive

C.whattimewillBettyarrive;willarriveD.whattimeBettywillarrive;arrives

［答案］D

［解析］句意：——你知道Betty今天下午什么时间会到吗？——我不确定，但是她到了我会告诉你。

考查宾语从句和条件状语从句。howwillBettyarrive贝蒂怎样到达，疑问句语序；howBettywillarrive陈述

句语序；whattimewillBettyanive贝蒂什么时间到，疑问句语序；whattimeBettywillarrive陈述句语序；

arrives到达，第三人称单数形式；willarrive将到达，一般将来时。开始问句为宾语从句，宾语从句中从句

用陈述语序。根据答语可知是询问到达的时间。答语but后为assoonas引导的状语从句，主句一般将来时，

从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时。故选D。

［文章大意］人类对太空的研究始于几千年前，那时科学还很落后，人们只能用肉眼观察天空。现在人类有了

现代化的技术，他们对太空有了更多的了解。那么人类第一次进入太空是什么时候呢？其实在人类进入太

空之前，科学家们先用很多动物进行了实验，保证人类太空旅行的安全。

16.B句意：现在人们使用现代的机器来看天空。look看，动词原形；tolook动词不定式；looking动名词形

式；looked是过去式或过去分词形式。根据句意可知，空后表示usemodemmachines的目的，"为了

看天空"，故应用动词不定式，选B。

17.D句意：这与几千年前的情况不同，那时人们只能用眼观察天空。thousand千，数量单位；thousands复

数形式；thousandof形式错误；thousandsof成千上万的，固定短语。根据句意和空后的years可知，

这个空修饰后面的名词，故应选D。

18.D句意：也许他们梦想着探索宇宙。explore探索，动词原形；toexplore动词不定式；explored过去式或

过去分词；exploring动名词。句中使用了短语dreamof,意为"梦想……"，后跟名词或者动名词形

式。故应选D。

19.A句意：这个故事发生在不久前，因为第一批宇航员不是人一它们是动物。as因为；作为；当……时候;

or或者；否则；but但是；so因此，所以。根据句意可知，空后这句话解释前面Thestorybegannotvery

longago,故用as引导原因状语从句，选A。

20.A句意：科学家们想要使人们的太空旅行尽可能地安全。safe安全的，形容词；safer更安全的，形容词

比较级；safest最安全的，形容词最高级；thesafest最高级。句中使用了短语as…aspossible,"尽可

能……"，两个as之间用形容词的原级，故选A。

21.B句意：所以他们决定用动物做实验，并在太空飞行中对它们进行测试。they他们，它们，人称代词主

格形式；them他们，它们，人称代词宾格形式；their他们的，它们的形容词性物主代词；theirs名词

性物主代词。根据句子结构可知，空前test是动词，该空是它的宾语，故应用宾格形式，选B。

22.C句意：昆虫、老鼠、青蛙、狗和猴子是最早进入太空的一些动物。whom关系代词，引导定语从句，

在从句中作宾语；what什么；不能引导定语从句；that关系代词，引导定语从句，先行词可以为人，

也可以为物，在从句中作主语或宾语；whose…的，引导定语从句，在从句中作定语。根据句子结构

可知，空后是一个定语从句，修饰先行词someoftheanimals,且从句中缺少主语，故应选C。

23.B句意：很多动物都死了，但是它们帮助使太空旅行对人类更安全。die死，动词原形；died过去式；have

died现在完成时；willdie一般将来时。根据文意可知，从第二段开始，作者讲述了科学家们过去对太

空的探索，以一般过去时态来叙述，故这里应用过去式，选B。

24.A句意：因为它们的伟大贡献，我们不应该忘记这些动物。shouldn't不应该；maynot可能不；don,thave
