A．why B．how C．what D．when
【答案】C

考查动词时态。when引导的时间状语从句，用来表示过去某个时间正在发生的动作，需要用过去进行时，本题中do是延续性动词，go out是瞬间动词，所以第一空用过去进行时，第二空用过去时。故选B。

【分析】
15．句意：他对自己为什么迟到没有给出任何解释。
“has”后面缺少宾语；no后面的名词可以是可数名词单数,也可以是可数名词复数,还可以是不可数名词。explain的名词形式是explanation，表示“能说明某事缘由的言语、事实、情况”，是可数名词，在no后面可以以单数或复数形式出现。故答案为explanation(s)。
16．句意：有雷鸣闪电，将要下雨了。
“there be”后跟名词;根据“thunder and”判断and前后都是名词；根据“thunder”和“rain”推断此处表达“雷电”；light变成lightning。故答案为lightning。
17．句意：杰克的母亲给一个富人家庭做佣人做了15年了。
“work as”后面缺少宾语，宾语通常是名词或代词；动词serve变成名词servant表达“佣人”的含义。故答案为servant。
18．句意：上海出租车服务业发展迅猛。
句子缺少主语，句子指的是“出租车服务业发展迅猛”；谓语动词是are，所以主语要用复数形式。动词serve变成名词的复数形式services。故答案为services。
19．句意：农民用化学药品杀死田里的昆虫。
动词“used”后面缺少宾语，化学chemistry变成chemical，意为“化学药品”是可数名词；空格之前没有冠词a，chemical后加s变成复数。故答案为chemicals。
20．句意：彼得用小刀给苹果去皮的时候割伤了他自己。
动词“cut”后面缺少宾语；而此处指的是彼得割伤了他自己，用反身代词，he变成himself。故答案为himself。
21．句意：这位著名的作者两年前去世了。
句子缺少谓语动词, dead变成动词die；根据时间状语“two years ago”判断动词的时态是一般过去时。故答案为died。
22．句意：本尼有礼貌地说：“请问我能拥有一盒电池么？”
动词“said”后面用副词修饰，polite加ly变成副词politely表示说话有礼貌地。故答案为politely。
23．句意：树可以制作成很多产品。
动词“made into”后面缺少宾语;many后跟可数名词复数形式; 动词produce变成名词复数products。故答案为products。
24．句意：年轻人通常比老年人更有活力。
动词“have”后面缺少宾语；more后面填不可数名词；energetic变成energy表示“活力，能量”，故答案为energy。
25．句意：当我们没付电费的时候，电就被切断了。
句子缺少主语；根据“cut off”和“pay the bill”可知与电electricity有关，表达“当我们不支付账单时停电了”。electric变成不可数名词electricity。故答案为electricity。
26．句意：我太傻了，居然相信杰克告诉我的事情。
根据“was”和“enough”判断此处用形容词表达“愚蠢的，傻的”；名词fool变成形容词foolish。故答案为foolish。
27．句意：很多家庭按月支付电话费。
动词“pay the bill”后面用副词修饰；month变成monthly,表示频率，意为“每月支付”。故答案为monthly。
28．句意：她总是按时支付账单。
动词“pay”后面缺少宾语；形容词性物主代词her后跟单数或复数名词；bill表示“账单”，是可数名词。故答案为bill(s)。
29．句意：天阴得连山顶也看不见。
“was”后面缺少表语，表语可以是形容词，名词或代词；根据“cloudy”可知此处表达天阴所以山顶看不见的；visible变成反义词“invisible”。故答案为invisible。
30．句意：在超市我们买了很多电池。
动词“bought”后面缺少宾语；many后跟可数名词复数形式；battery的复数需要将y变成i,再加es。故答案为batteries。
31．句意：英语世界的含义是什么？
“the”后面填名词，动词mean变成名词meaning表达“意思，含义”。故答案为meaning。
32．句意：妈妈为小凯文的五岁生日做了个大大的巧克力蛋糕。
根据单数名词“birthday”判断前面用序数词，表达“五岁生日”的含义；要将five变成序数词fifth。故答案为fifth。
33．句意：天气晴朗的早上，我叔叔喜欢和我一起去钓鱼。
此处用动词短语“go doing”；动名词fishing作宾语，表达“去钓鱼”。故答案为fishing。
34．句意：谁是阅读比赛的第一名？
“is”后面缺少表语，表语可以是形容词，名词或代词，根据“the first prize”判断后面用名词；win变成winner表达“胜利者”。故答案为winner。
【点睛】
用所给词的正确形式填空做题方法如下：①根据句子，先弄清楚需要填写的单词的词性。例如第1、2、3、4、5、9、10、11、14、16、17和20题需要填名词；第7题需要填动词；第8和第13题需要填副词，第12和15题需要填形容词。②找出提示词；空格中所填的词的形式，可能受到句中某些词的限制，空格前后的词都要兼顾。例如第9和16题根据空前面的“many”推断后面用名词复数；第4题根据空后面的“are”推断主语是名词复数。③注意词的变化。名词应考虑名词的单、复数形式和所有格形式。形容词或副词考虑词形变化以及比较级、最高级的变化。动词应考虑动词的语态和时态。数词需要根据具体语境确定需要使用基数词还是序数词。代词主要从人称代词(主格或宾格)、物主代词(名词性物主代词和形容词性物主代词)和反身代词等几个方面考虑，有时还要考虑用单数还是用复数。例如第7题是动词的一般过去时，第6题是反身代词，第15题是形容词的反义词，第18题是序数词，第19题是动名词形式。
四、句型转换
Rewrite the sentences as required。(按要求改写句子，每空一词)
35．The taxi driver has the duty for the passengers' safety. (保持句意不变)
The taxi driver is _____________ _____________ the passengers' safety.
36．The new house Nicky has bought is 260 square metres. (对划线部分提问)
_____________ _____________ is the new house Nicky has bought
37．Mr. Jason has seldom seen a child with so much talent. (改为反义疑问句)
Mr. Jason has seldom seen a child with so much talent, _____________ _____________
38．Thanks to the help of his neighbors, he managed to survive the fire(保持句意不变)
Thanks to the help of his neighbors, he _____________ _____________ surviving the fire.
39．when, good, in trouble, a, friend, you, a helping hand, always, you're, gives (连词成句)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】
35． responsible for
36． How large
37． has he
38． succeeded in
39．A good friend always gives you a helping hand when you’re in trouble
【解析】
35．句意：出租车司机对乘客的安全负有责任。
根据have the duty for sth. = be responsible for sth. = take charge of = be in charge of表示“负责”，故答案为responsible for。
36．句意：尼基买的新房子有260平方米。
考查特殊疑问句。根据划线部分是对260平方米提问，所以用How large，特殊疑问句的结构是特殊疑问词+be动词（助动词）+主语+其他？故答案为How large。
37．句意：贾森先生很少看到一个孩子有这么大的天赋。
反意的附加疑问句由肯定陈述句加简略否定问句，或否定陈述句加简略肯定问句构成。前面有“seldom”表示否定，所以后面用肯定，因为是现在完成时，故答案为has he。
38．句意：多亏了邻居们的帮助，他才在火灾中幸存下来。
根据manage to do = succeed in doing = be successful in sth.表示“成功地做某事”，原句是一般过去时，所以此处也是一般过去时，故答案为succeeded in。
39．句意：一个好朋友总是在你有困难的时候伸出援助之手。
A good friend：一个好朋友；a helping hand：援助之手；in trouble：陷入困难中；分析单词“when, good, in trouble, a, friend, you, a helping hand, always, you're, gives”及符号可知，此处是when引导的时间状语从句，故答案为A good friend always gives you a helping hand when you’re in trouble.

五、阅读单选
Back home, almost everyone gets time off at Christmas. This year I asked my Chinese boss how many days I could get off in December. “I am afraid none. We don’t do Christmas,” she answered.
I was very sad at the thought of not seeing my family. However, I took my boss’ words as a challenge. I would make Christmas in China.
First step—Christmas food. In the UK, we always eat mince pies(肉馅饼) during Advent(the December of days before Christmas). They are like little apple pies with spice(香料) and brandy(白兰地酒). According to tradition, the number of mince pies you eat during Advent has to do with the number of months of good luck you will have next year. So I needed to get at least 12 before December 25.
Sadly, I didn’t find key mince pie ingredients in China. I wouldn’t give up. I put five Chinese spices into my own “mincemeat”. Then, I made my little pies in the shape of baozi and jiaozi. Delicious.
Next step—Christmas cards. I was very glad to find many shining cards with Chinglish(中式英文) greetings in my local supermarket. My favourite read : “Let’s merry!” “Merry” is not a verb. The Chinese often hear “Merry Christmas”, so they wrote the sentence. For me, it’s an interesting joke.
I call my Chinese Christmas “Chingmas”. I had a party with “Chingmas pudding” and “baijiu butter”. I even had some Chingmas carols. The song God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen became God Rest You Merry, Tian’anmen.
40．The writer got ________off in December.
A．a week B．ten days C．none D．three days
41．In the UK, the traditional food on the December days before Christmas is ________.
A．mince pies B．apple pies C．spice D．brandy
42．The writer need to get at least 12 mince pies because she ________.

八、阅读回答问题
Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling.
Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day.
Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.
However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games.
The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams.

Back home, almost everyone gets time off at Christmas. This year I asked my Chinese boss how many days I could get off in December. “I am afraid none. We don’t do Christmas,” she answered.
I was very sad at the thought of not seeing my family. However, I took my boss’ words as a challenge. I would make Christmas in China.
First step—Christmas food. In the UK, we always eat mince pies(肉馅饼) during Advent(the December of days before Christmas). They are like little apple pies with spice(香料) and brandy(白兰地酒). According to tradition, the number of mince pies you eat during Advent has to do with the number of months of good luck you will have next year. So I needed to get at least 12 before December 25.
Sadly, I didn’t find key mince pie ingredients in China. I wouldn’t give up. I put five Chinese spices into my own “mincemeat”. Then, I made my little pies in the shape of baozi and jiaozi. Delicious.
Next step—Christmas cards. I was very glad to find many shining cards with Chinglish(中式英文) greetings in my local supermarket. My favourite read : “Let’s merry!” “Merry” is not a verb. The Chinese often hear “Merry Christmas”, so they wrote the sentence. For me, it’s an interesting joke.
I call my Chinese Christmas “Chingmas”. I had a party with “Chingmas pudding” and “baijiu butter”. I even had some Chingmas carols. The song God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen became God Rest You Merry, Tian’anmen.
40．The writer got ________off in December.
A．a week B．ten days C．none D．three days
41．In the UK, the traditional food on the December days before Christmas is ________.
A．mince pies B．apple pies C．spice D．brandy
42．The writer need to get at least 12 mince pies because she ________.
A．loved eating mince pies very much B．wanted to be lucky every month next year

Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling.
Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day.
Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.
However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games.
The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams.
