基础达标

一、单词拼写

1.Ait'sautumn,thetemperatureisstillhighandIfeellikeeatingicc-cream.

【答案】(A)lthough

【详解】句意:虽然已经是秋天了,但气温仍然很高，我想吃冰淇淋。根据“thetemperatureisstillhigh”以

及首字母提示可知，前后存在让步关系，即“尽管是秋天，气温却还高Although意为“虽然，尽管“，用

于引导让步状语从句。故填(A)lthough。

2.CormorantfishingwasonceinlotsofplacesinSouth-EastChina,andthereweremanyfishermeninthe

area.

【答案】common

【详解】句意：鸿鹤捕鱼曾经在中国东南部的许多地方很普遍，并且该地区有许多渔民。根据nherewere

8/20

manyfishermeninthearea”可知，有很多渔民从事鸿鹦捕鱼，说明这种捕鱼方式曾经很普遍，这里需要一个

形容词作表语，“common”意为“普遍的"。故填common。

3.Hisopinionsares(类似的)toyoursbutdifferentfrommine.

【答案】(s)imilar

【详解】句意：他的观点与你的相似，但与我的不同。根据中文提示和首字母可知，similai•“类似的”符合

题意，作表语。故填(s)imilar。

4.Yesterday,theriver(上升)byseveralmetersaftertheheavyrain.

【答案】rose

【详解】句意：昨天大雨过后，河水上涨了好几米。rise上升，不及物动词；根据时间状语“Yesterday”可

知，句子时态为一般过去时，rise的过去式为rose。故填rose。

5.Sallywasfatlastyear,andsheiseven(fat)now.

【答案】fatter

【详解】句意：Sally去年很胖,现在甚至更胖了。根据“Sallywasfatlastyear,andsheiseven...”可知句中

“even”提示需用比较级形式，表示程度加深〜“fht”的比较级“falter”，在句中作表语，说明主语当前状态、

故填faller。

二、完成句子

6.虽然天气炎热，但我和朋友都很开心。

itwashot,myfriendandIwerebothveryhappy.

【答案】Though/Although

【详解】根据题干可知，空处缺少“虽然“，应用though或者疝hough引导让步状语从句，位于句首首字母

大写。故填Though/Allhough。

7.在加拿大的学校，筹钱活动是非常普遍的。

It'sverytomoneyinCanadianschools.

【答案】commonraise

【详解】中英文对照可知，“普遍”和“筹集”未翻译。common意为“普遍的、常见的”,形容词作表语；raise

money是固定短语，意为“筹集资金、筹钱”，此处是动词不定式作真正主语，所以空处使用动词原形。故

填common；raise»

8.你穿颜色相近的衣服看起来很酷。

Youinclothes.

［答案］lookverycoolofsimilarcolours

【详解】看起来很酷：lookverycool,You作主语，动词用原形；颜色相近的：ofsimilarcolours,of表示

所属关系。故填lookverycool；ofsimilarcolourso

9.Jackhisfatherinmanyways.

杰克在很多方面与他爸爸相似。(similar)

9/20

［答案】issimilar(o

【详解】考查固定短语。besimilart。“与……相似”,主语为Jack,为第三人称单数,谓语用is。故填is

similarto。

10.所有的这些表演有一个共同点。

Alltheseshowshaveonething.

【答案】incommon

【详解】此处表达的是“共同点”，结合空格前面的“onething”可知，此处应该是缺incommon,构成短语

“haveonethingincommon”，故填incommono

Mydreamistobeanastronaut15.Ihopeyourdreamwillcometrue/I'msureyourdreamwillcometrue/I

believeyouwillachieveyourdrcamoneday

【分析】本文主要讲述了露西和用友之间的对话，关于看电影，以及人类未来会不会去火星生活及未来的

梦想。

11.根据"I'mgoingtothecinema”可知我要去看电影，可推测出上文应该是问“你要去哪”，类似的内容即可,

故填Whereareyougoing/Wherewillyougo。

12.根据力thinkitiswellworthwatching.“可知我觉得很值得一看，可推测出是“觉得这部电影怎么样”，类

似的内容即可，故填Whatdoyouthinkofit/themovie/Howdoyoulikeit/themovie/What'syouropinion

15.根据上文的愿望及下文“Thankyou”可知谢谢，可推测出“我希望你的梦想成真”，类似的内容即可，故

【答案】

1.B2.C3.C4.A5.A6.A7.D8.B9.D10.C

【导语】本文主要讲了关于宇宙的信息，详解对地球进行了讲述。

I.句意：宇宙是太空中的一切，没有人知道宇宙有多大。

11/20

leaves离开；knows知道，了解；blows吹；pollules污染。由“Theuniverse（宇宙）iseverythingcutinspace.”

可知没有人知道宇宙的大小。故选B。

2.句意：当我们谈论宇宙时，我们指的是地球、太阳、月亮和所有的恒星，以及它们之间的空间。

gardens花园；planes飞机；stars星星，恒星；rockets火箭。根据语境可知该处都是在讨论宇宙包括了什么,

故"stars星星，恒星”符合句意，故选C。

3.句意：现在让我告诉你一些关于地球的事情。它就像一个大球。

Ma:hs数学；Sun太阳；Earth地球；Land陆地。由“Itislikealargeball."和"ItgoesaroundtheSun.”可知该处

谈论的是地球。故选C。

4.句意：它绕着太阳转。

goes运转，走；waits等待；shows展示，展现；keeps保持。前句讲到地球，故可推测出该处讲的是地球

围绕着太阳转。故选A。

5.句意：水和土地覆盖了它。

water水；ice冰；snow雪；cloud云。由“youwillfindthattherearcsomeblueparts.Theyaretheseas.”可知这

里讲的是水v故选A.

6.句意：如果你在宇宙飞船里，从太空看地球，你会发现有一些蓝色的部分。它们就是海洋。

watch看；hear听；feel感觉；touch触摸。由“youwillfindthattherearesomeblueparts.Theyar，theseas."可

知应该是从太空上看地球就会看到海洋。故选A。

7.句意：地球需要24小时才能转一圈。

nights晚；minutes分钟；days口；hours小时。根据语境可知地球转一圈需要24小时，也就是一天。故选

D.

8.句怠：当你看到明亮的太阳时，这就是属于你的白天。

easily容易地：brightly明亮地;badly不好地;slowly缓慢地。由"ButwhentheEarthturnsyouawayfromthe

Sun,everythingaroundyoubecomesdark（黑暗的）.”可知该处应选明亮的，与后面的黑暗形成对比。故选B。

9.句意：但是当地球把你从太阳转向别处时，你周围的一切都变得黑暗。

flies飞；kicks踢；ties系，绑：becomes变得，成为。根据语境可知太阳转去别处时，周围就黑暗了，这

是一种变化。故选D。

10.句意：你能告诉我一些关于宇宙的其他事情吗？我认为这很有趣，我想更多地了解它。

weak虚弱的；nervous紧张的；imeresting有趣的；tiring疲惫的。由“Iwardtolearnmoreaboutt”可知作者

对宇宙感兴趣，想了解更多，故选C。
