二、完型填空
Mr

in
a
small

Nobody
is
richer
than
him
there,

he
wishes
to
get
more
money
all
the
time.
One

He

That

He

he
doesn’t

gold,
and
his

三、阅读理解
Here
is
a
story:
A
man
sees
a
butterfly
(蝴蝶).
The
butterfly
tries
to
get
out
of
its
chrysalis
(蛹).
Feeling
sorry
for
it,
the
man
decides
to
help.
He
cuts
the
chrysalis
and
the
butterfly
comes
out
easily.
Surprisingly
enough,
the
butterfly
is
unable
to
fly.
If
the
butterfly
doesn’t
struggle
to
leave
the
chrysalis,
it
can’t
fly!
The
struggle
develops
the
energy
in
the
butterfly
which
makes
it
fly.
Similarly,
the
challenges
of
life
bring
out
the
best
in
young
people
and
make
them
fly.
When
people
are
young,
meeting
and
overcoming
challenges
will
make
them
strong
and
ready
to
face
life.
When
we
look
at
successful
people,
we
see
that
the
most
successful
of
them
are
people
who
have
had
to
struggle.
One
famous
businessman,
who
now
owns
many
big
supermarkets,
used
to
carry
clothes
on
his
back
and
sell
them
from
door
to
door
when
he
was
young.
Another
successful
man
is
Dennis.
His
father
died
when
he
was
only
twenty.
His
father’s
death
forced
him
to
mature
fast.
He
had
to
bring
up
a
family
of
nine
people.
He
took
up
the
challenges
and
overcame
them.
Today
his
brothers
and
sisters
are
leading
successful
lives.
Sometimes
challenges
do
not
appear
to
us
because
we
keep
away
from
them.
So
some
parents
and
teachers
actively
encourage
young
people
to
face
challenges.
They
might
organize
some
activities
for
young
people
which
provide
them
with
challenges,
like
rock
climbing,
camping,
volunteer
work
and
so
on.
However,
just
passing
exams
will
not
prepare
a
person
for
life.
We
must
meet
and
overcome
challenges.
The
young
people
of
today
will
become
the
leaders
of
tomorrow.
For
countries
to
continue
to
become
successful,
it
is
important
that
the
young
people
learn
to
meet
challenges
and
overcome
them.
26．From
the
story
we
know
that
the
butterfly
can’t
fly
because
________.
A．it
gets
out
by
itself
B．the
man
feels
sorry
for
it
C．it
tries
to
challenge
itself
D．the

come
out

A．overcome

up
business
early
C．become

of
tomorrow
D．sell
clothes
from
door
to

doing
【解析】
根据“asked”可知主过从必过，再由“正在房间里干什么”可知用过去进行时，其结构为was/were
doing，主语Jane后接be动词was。故填was
doing。
33．was
taking
Suddenly
【解析】
根据题干可知，前句的时态应是过去进行时，其结构是was/were+v-ing，洗澡的英语表达是take
a
shower，主语是“he”，故此空填was；taking，“突然，忽然”的英语表达是“suddenly”，因置于句首，首字母要大写，故此处填Suddenly。故填was；taking；Suddenly。
34．was
doing
his
homework
【解析】
短语do
his
homework“做作业”；根据时间状语at
10:00及He
told
me可知用过去进行时，其结构是was/were
doing的形式，主语是he是第三人称单数，be动词用was。故填was
doing
his
homework。
35．landed
safely
【解析】
句意：他们的飞机飞行3小时后安全着陆。land“着陆”，是动词，描述过去的动作，动词用过去式，safe“安全的”，空格修饰的是动词，应用副词形式，故填landed

a
bird
and

句意：一天，他的一个中国朋友送给他一只鸟和一只猫。根据题干“One
day
one
of
his
friends
from…gives

in
one

句意：但是他不知道这只鸟是什么。根据题干“the
cat
really
wants
to
eat
the
bird…he
doesn’t
know
what
the
bird
is”和语境，可知前后是转折关系，but符合语境；居句首需大写首字母，故填But。
42．
句意：起初她不知道要做什么。分析句子可知，本句缺谓语动词；根据题干“She
doesn’t…what
to
do
first”，可知鸟不知道怎么办；know“知道”符合语境，故填know。
43．
句意：她尽力保持安静。be
quiet保持安静，固定短语；根据上文“The
bird
is
very
afraid”，可知鸟不敢出声，故填quiet。
44．
句意：他跑开了。run
away逃跑，为固定短语；根据上文“The
cat
is
very
afraid”，可知猫给吓跑了，run符合语境；主语he为单数第三形式，动词需用三单形式，故填runs。
45．
句意：她会说话，她一定是个女人！根据前文鸟对猫说了句“Do
you
want
to
eat
me?
I’m
your
friend”，可知猫听到这只鸟会说话，才以为它是个女人而感到害怕，speak“说话”符合语境；情态动词can后接原形动词，故本空填speak。

ran
away.
People
came
to
comfort
him.
The

said:
“It

After
