二、阅读理解-阅读选择（共1小题；共10分）
It was Mary's birthday. She received a letter from her uncle who was a farmer. "Dear Mary," the letter said, "Happy birthday. I am sending you some chickens. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you like them. Best wishes, Uncle Toby." Mary was very happy because she liked eating eggs and chicken.
When the chickens in a box arrived the next day, Mary was very excited. She took the box out of the back of the truck and carried it into her garden. However, the box of the chickens was so heavy that it fell to the ground and broke open. The chickens all ran out. They ran everywhere—into neighbors' houses, into the shops, into the road, and even into the next street. Mary found them at last and took them back to her garden.
A few days later, her uncle came to visit her. "Did the chickens arrive safely " he asked. "Yes, Uncle Toby," Mary said, "but I had a lot of trouble with them. I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. I spent the whole morning looking for them." "Did you find them all " her uncle asked. "I hope so," Mary replied, "I caught eleven of them." "That's very interesting," her uncle said with a smile, "but I only sent you six."

答案
第一部分
1 . D
【解析】
此题考查的是时态和语态。句意：——你的读书报告在哪里？你的狗又吃了吗？——不，快完成了，然后我的电脑就死机了！主语it指代“读书报告”，与“完成”是动宾关系，故是被动语态；结合did和died可知是一般过去时。
因此，正确答案是D。
2 . C
3 . A
【解析】
考查副词辨析。
句意：——这座桥是最近才建成的。——怪不得我上次来的时候没看见。A.最近；B.简单地，仅仅；C.适当地；D.自然地。根据答语“怪不得我上次来的时候没看见”可知，此处是“最近”。
4 . C
5 . C
6 . C
【解析】
句意：——昨天特德默默地回到了家，因为他的新平板电脑丢了。——他真不走运啊！in silence 意为“沉默；无声”，是固定搭配。

从第一段第二句得知。
8 . B

第三部分

第四部分
13 . Why
【解析】
——你为什么喜欢艺术？——因为它很有趣。根据 Because it's fun，推出问句是 why 引导的疑问句。所以空缺单词是副词“why 为什么”。
第五部分
14 . have, nowhere
15 . Where can tourists go
16 . What, do
17 . to, do
【解析】
考查复合句与简单句的转换。在主语相同时，特殊疑问词+主语+情态动词相当于特殊疑问词+to。
18 . didn't, until
第六部分
19 . hit；on；the
【解析】hit 撞击；get hit on the + 身体部位，表示撞击在身体的某个部位。
20 . passage, about
21 . looked, out, of
22 . will be held
【解析】
根据题干，可知需要翻译的是“将被举行”，其英文表达方式是“will be held”，时态是一般将来时的被动语态，结合句意：我们将在 12 月 31 号学校礼堂举行读书分享会。
23 . what, you, were, doing
24 . so, that
