2. ___________ in the leg made it impossible for me to walk as fast as usual.
A. Being injured B. To be injured
C. Having injured D. Injured
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：腿受伤使我不可能走得像平常一样快。容易得知腿是被受到伤害了，故需要用injure的被动式。又因为整个动词短语要做句子的主语，由于只有动名词才可做主语，应当用被动语态的动名词形式being injured做主语。故选A。
3. He is such a person that he will never any difficulties.

C. determined, give up D. determining, give up

【答案】B
【解析】

C. be handed in D. were handed in
【答案】C

A. lies B. lie C. lying D. lay
【答案】B
【解析】

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意：我们应该保持教室干净整洁。分析句子结构可知，本句的主语是we，谓语动词是should keep，宾语是the classroom，形容词clean and tidy作宾语补足语。所以整个句子的结构为主谓宾补。故选D。

I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals(脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.
19. How was the author when he was on the bike first
A. He didn't know where he would be going.
B. He thought balancing himself was easy.
C. He was nervous and didn't know what to do next.
D. He put his feet on the pedals and started cycling.
20. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Remember what happened this day. B. Make the author feel happy.
C. Stop practicing bicycling. D. Go on to ride a bike.
21. What is the author's attitude towards his grandfather
A. Supportive. B. Grateful. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
22. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A. The Experience of My First Riding a Bike
B. The Difficulty I Met with My Grandfather
C. The First Time I Got My Own Bike
D. The Happy Moment When I Stayed with My Grandfather
【答案】19. C 20. C 21. B 22. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者的爷爷教自己骑自行车的故事。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong.(我第一次骑自行车的时候，根本不知道自己在做什么，几乎所有的事情都出了问题。）”可知，第一次在自行车上时，作者很紧张，不知道下一步该做什么，故选C。
【20题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“I fell flat on my face and hit my nose(我脸朝下摔了一跤，撞到了鼻子）”和下文“and try again the next morning(第二天早晨再尝试）”可猜测出“My grandfather decided to call it a day”的意思是:我的祖父决定暂停练习骑自行车，call it a day的意思是“暂停练习骑自行车”，即Stop practicing bicycling，故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help.（尽管我知道在掌握骑自行车的技巧的过程中会有一系列的困难，但我相信有爷爷的帮助我能做得很好。 ）”可推断出作者对于祖父的态度是感激的(Grateful)，故选B。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。通过全文内容尤其是第一段中“I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike.（我还记得我第一次学会骑自行车的那一天。）”和最后一段中“Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help.（尽管我知道在掌握骑自行车的技巧的过程中会有一系列的困难，但我相信有爷爷的帮助我能做得很好。）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者在祖父的帮助下，第一次学习骑自行车的经历，因此最好的题目是A选项The Experience of My First Riding a Bike（我第一次骑自行车的经历），故选A。
C
In the middle of the 19th century，a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California.Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune，some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.
Vast wilderness，beautiful mountains，countless waterfalls，and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10，000 years ago.The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.
Fortunately，some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations.In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently，thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.
One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was Scottish-American naturalist and writer John Muir.After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a National Park in 1890.He later co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.
Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California，Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748，000 acres，almost 95％of which is wilderness.Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp，hike its miles of trails，climb its rock formations，and photograph its impressive sights.Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience
23. Which of the following best explains“bust”underlined in Paragraph 1
A. Memory. B. Symbo1. C. Failure. D. Challenge.
24. When did the first non-native tourists come to Yosemite
A. After it was discovered by gold seekers.
B. When the gold rush finally came to a stop.
C. Before native Americans found its beauty.
D. When it became a National Park in 1890.
25. What do we learn about John Muir
A. He was the first to build the national park.
B. He helped set the boundaries of Yosemite.
C. He wrote to collect money for Yosemite.
D. He gave Yosemite an official name.
26. What do we know about Yosemite National Park
A. It has been well preserved since the Civil War.
B. It was originally created to protect wild animals.
C. It used to be well-known for its man-made beauty.
D. It was once damaged by some of its earliest settlers.
【答案】23. C 24. A 25. B 26. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国风景优美之地约塞米蒂的历史以及约塞米蒂国家公园的特点。
【23题详解】
词义猜测题。根据.Although和画线词后的“some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure”以及历史知识可知，尽管淘金热最终以许多淘金者的失败而告终，但其中一些探索者发现了一个自然宝藏，由此可知画线词词义为“失败”，故C项正确。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.”可知，第一批非本地游客是在听淘金者说这里有难以用语言描绘的美景后来到约塞米蒂的，也就是他们在这个地方被淘金者发现之后来到这里的，故A项正确。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.”可知，在约塞米蒂居住多年后，John Muir帮助确定了约塞米蒂的边界，故B项正确。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently”可知，内战期间，林肯总统就签署了一项条款，永久保护约塞米蒂，由此可知，自内战期间起，约塞米蒂就得到了很好的保护，故A项正确。
【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，但一些表示转折、让步或者因果关系的词语会给出一些重要暗示，例如本篇第1题，画线词前的“Although”表明前后是两种相反的结果，再结合画线词后的“some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure”可知，尽管淘金热最终以许多淘金者的失败而告终，但其中一些探索者发现了一个自然宝藏，由此可知画线词词义为“失败”。
D
There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favourite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the causeway and in Malaysia. Johor Bahru was just another city like the city of Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 p. m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

A. People on the train were the villagers’ favorite relatives.
B. The writer spent the whole journey reading magazines.
C. The writer thought he enjoyed the train journey at last.
D. The writer’s uncle gave him a warm hug with a huge smile.
30. What can we learn from the story

推理判断题。根据第二段中“I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.(我并不是特别喜欢长途火车旅行，所以带了十几本杂志来，一遍又一遍地读。我环顾了一下火车。没有一张熟悉的面孔。我叹了口气，坐下来读我的经济学)”判断出，作者原以为火车旅行会很无聊。故选C。

Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel sick because of some bad living habits. To help you change for better, I'm writing to provide some suggestions.
First and foremost, you are supposed to have a balanced diet and enjoy breakfast every day, because we consume much energy while studying. As for food, you’d better not eat those rich in fat or sugar but have more fresh vegetables and fruits. Additionally, it is of equal importance to take exercise on a regular basis, which not only contributes to strengthening your bodies but also rids us of the stress from study. More importantly, I recommend that you have enough sleep instead of staying up too late at night.It’s full energy that makes a difference, putting you in better spirits so that you can deal with things optimistically whatever happens.
I’d be more than glad if my advice would be adopted and I sincerely hope that you can live a healthy life.
Yours,

I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals(脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.

In the middle of the 19th century，a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California.Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune，some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.
Vast wilderness，beautiful mountains，countless waterfalls，and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10，000 years ago.The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.
Fortunately，some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations.In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently，thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.
One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was Scottish-American naturalist and writer John Muir.After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a National Park in 1890.He later co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.
Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California，Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748，000 acres，almost 95％of which is wilderness.Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp，hike its miles of trails，climb its rock formations，and photograph its impressive sights.Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favourite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the causeway and in Malaysia. Johor Bahru was just another city like the city of Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 p. m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
27. The author expected the train trip to be ________.
A. adventurous B. pleasant C. dull D. exciting
28. What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip

A. People on the train were the villagers’ favorite relatives.
B. The writer spent the whole journey reading magazines.
C. The writer thought he enjoyed the train journey at last.
D. The writer’s uncle gave him a warm hug with a huge smile.
30. What can we learn from the story
A. Comfort in travelling by train.
B. Pleasure of living in the country.
C. Reading gives people delight.
D. Smiles brighten people up.
