案
一、单项填空
知识运用
从下面各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Last week, the twins chose a dress for _____ mother as a birthday gift.
B. them
C. their
D. his
A. her
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:上周,双胞胎为他们的妈妈选了一件连衣裙作为生日礼物。
考查代词辨析。her 她的;them 他们;their 他们的;his 他的。根据 the twins 可知“双
胞胎为他们的妈妈买了生日礼物”。故选 C。
2. Stan Lee, the father of Marvel Comic, passed away _____ Nov. 12th, 2018.
B. at
C. in
D. over
A. on
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:2018 年 11 月 12 日,漫威之父斯坦·李去世。
考查介词辨析。on 表示具体的某一天或某一天的上午、下午、晚上;at 表示具体的时间点;
in 用于较长的一段时间(世纪、年代、季节、月份等)或是表示泛指的上午、下午等前面;
over 超过。根据“Nov. 12th, 2018”可知,此处指的是 2018 年 11 月 12 日具体的这一天,
所以用介词 on,故选 A。
3. Sorry, I must go to the library. Lily _____ for me there.
B. is waiting
C. waits
D. was
A. waited
waiting
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:对不起,我必须去图书馆。莉莉在那里等我。
考查动词的时态。waited 一般过去时;is waiting 现在进行时;waits 一般现在时;was
waiting 过去进行时。结合语境、前一句“Sorry, I must go to the library.”和空后“for
me there”可知作者现在必须得去图书馆,因为莉莉正在那里等作者,所以本句用现在进行
时,表示作者说话时莉莉正在进行的动作。故选 B。
4. William Shakespeare is one of __________ writers in the world.
A. famous
B. more famous
C. most famous
D. the
most famous
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:威廉·莎士比亚是世界上最著名的作家之一。
考查形容词的最高级。famous 著名的;more famous 比较级;most famous 最高级;the most
famous 最高级。根据比较范围 in the world 可知此处应用形容词最高级,且形容词的最
高级前必须加定冠词 the。故选 D。
错因分析
①考生没能根据“one of”与“in the world”判断出本题使用形容词的最高级;②考生忽
略了形容词最高级前必须加 the。
【点睛】形容词最高级用法:
the+形容词最高级+名词+表示范围的短语或从句,如 Jack is the tallest student in his
class.
one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数+表示范围的短语或者从句,如 China is one of the
largest countries in the world.
比较级形式表达最高级意义,“比较级+than any other+可数名词单数”“比较级+than the
other+可数名词复数”或“比较级+than the rest of+the+可数名词复数”来表达最高级意
义,如 Julia is taller than any other girl in her class.
5. —_____ you go to cinema with me this Saturday?
— Sorry, I can’t. This Saturday is my mother’s birthday.
B. Can
C. Must
D. Need
A. May
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这个星期六你能和我一起去看电影吗?——对不起,我不能。 这个星期
六是我妈妈的生日。
考查情态动词。May 可以;Can 能、能够; Must 必须、一定;Need 需要。根据答语“Sorry,
I can’t.”使用了 can 来回答,可知前面的问句一般应是用 can 来引导,意为“能、会”,
故选 B。
6. Wash your hands before meals, ________ you may get ill.
B. but
C. or
D. so
A. and
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:饭前洗手,否则你可能会生病的。
本题考查连词。and 而且,but 但是,or 否则,so 所以。结合句意,“饭前不洗手”是“你
可能会生病”的条件,故选 C。
7. —_____ will the talk show start?
— It will start at 8:00.
B. Why
C. How
D. Where
A. When
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——脱口秀什么时候开始?——它会在八点开始。
考查特殊疑问句。When 什么时候;Why 为什么;How 怎样;Where 在哪里,根据答句“It will
start at 8:00”可知,问的是脱口秀什么时候开始,故选 A。
8. — What were you doing this time yesterday?
— I _____ the classroom.
A. have cleaned
B. was cleaning
C. cleaned
D. clean
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨天这个时候你在干什么?——我在打扫教室。
考查动词时态。 根据上文“What were you doing this time yesterday?”可知,下文是
过去进行时,其结构是 be doing 的形式。主语是 I 是第三人称单数,be 动词用 was。 I was
cleaning the classroom.“我正在打扫教室”。故选 B。
9. I _____ playing this piece of music for two months, so I play it better.
A. practice
C. will practice
【答案】D
B. practiced
D. have practiced
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:我已经练习弹这首音乐两个月了,所以弹得更好了。
考查现在完成时。根据 for two months 可知时态是现在完成时,结构是 have/has+过去分
词。故选 D。
【点睛】
10. My father often _____ to the gym with me though he has lots of work to do.
B. has gone
C. goes
D. will go
A. went
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:虽然我爸爸有很多工作要做,但他经常和我一起去健身房。
考查动词时态。由 often“经常”可知句子时态用一般现在时,go to the gym“去健身房”,
主语 My father 是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词也要用第三人称单数形式,故选 C。
11. The 24th Winter Olympic Games ______ in Beijing and Zhangjiakou in 2022.
B. is held
C. will hold
D. will be
A. holds
held
【答案】D
【解析】

根据 in 2022 可知此处用一般将来时,主语 The 24th Winter Olympic Games 与谓语 hold
之间是被动关系,故此处用一般将来时的被动语态,故为 will be held。故选 D。
12. —Can you tell me _____ next Sunday?
—By train.
A. how we will go to Shanghai
B. how did we go to Shanghai
C. how we went to Shanghai
D. how will we go to Shanghai
【答案】A

语序应用陈述句语序。故选 A。

佳选项。
A
Mountains are more than 500 meters tall and it’s not easy for plants to live
on them. The wind is strong. The soil is thin and rocky. Which plants can live there?
Come and see some of them.
Firs are evergreen trees. They always have green leaves. Their
leaves look like needles. Firs are large trees. They can be 20 to
80 meters tall. Their trunk can be 0.5 to 4 meters wide. In many
countries in Europe, people use firs as Christmas trees.
Cushion plants look like a small cushion(垫子). They grow
together and they are less than 30 cm tall. But they can be 3 meters
wide. Many other plants live under them. Cushion plants keep the
cold away. They make the soil inside soft and wet. In this way,
cushion plants help other plants survive.
Snow lotuses live at elevations ranging from 2,400 to 4,000
meters. The climate there is cold. It always snows and the air is
thin. Most plants will die. But the snow lotuses grow well. They
can be 15 to 35 cm tall. People use them in medicine.
Saxifrages are evergreen. They have star-shaped flowers. Most
saxifrages are very small—less than 12 cm tall. They grow very
slowly in cold environments. Saxifrages can live both in the
mountains and in your garden, yet they are not resistant(耐受的)
to high temperatures.
