【知识点】语法填空
【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章讲述了一个年轻人坐火车经过一座漂亮的房子，他对它很感兴趣，于是在下一站下车来到房子那里，房子的主人说他一直在卖房子，但是因为离火车弯道太近，噪音太大而不适合居住，于是年轻人花了3万买下房子。然后他找了一家大公司在房子的边上放广告，付了他三年的广告费18万元。把劣势变优势是成功的关键。
（1）句意：当火车拐弯时，它速度慢下来然后一座平房进入视线。表示数量一用不定冠词a，故答案为a。
（2）句意：那间房子看上去和城市里那些灰色的公寓大楼那么不同以至于火车上的每个人转身看它。根据固定搭配look/be different from···，看上去与······不同，可知填介词from，故答案为from。
（3）句意：一些乘客开始谈论它。上文提到的是a plain house，替代它要用it，故答案为it。
（4）句意：房子的主人告诉他他在尽力买那座房子，但是没有人买。根据语境可知时态可以是过去进行时或者一般过去时，主语是he，故答案为was trying/tried。
（5）句意：因为附近经过的火车的噪音让它变得不适合住。根据结构make it ··· to live in ,可知所缺词要用形容词，suit：动词，适合，它的形容词不合适的：unsuitable/not suitable，故答案为： unsuitable/ not suitable。
（6）句意：他把它用来做广告因为房子面对着铁路的弯道。根据两句的关系可知是因果关系，要用连词因为 for/since/as/because，故答案为for/since/as/ because。
（7）句意：火车不得不在拐弯处慢下来，给了旅客足够的时间看这座房子。根据had to slow down 是句子的谓语，可知give是非谓语，和主语是主动关系，要用现在分词，故答案为giving。
（8）句意：幸运的是，一个公司同意放一些广告。修饰整个句子要用副词，luckily，故答案为Luckily。
（9）句意：那位年轻人被付了18万的三年的广告费。the young man和pay是被动关系，根据上下文可知句子的时态是一般过去时，主语是单数，故答案为was paid。
（10）句意：在这个世界上，把不利条件变成有利条件是成功的关键。the key to，某事的关键，to是介词，后跟名词，故答案为success。

【解析】【分析】短文大意：现在世界上的人们过着忙碌的生活，在太大的压力下经常感到不高兴。这里介绍了几个有助于人更加高兴的建议。
（1）考查系动词的用法。句意：事实上，保持快乐对每个人是很重要很必要的。are，和第一、第三人称单数外的其它人称连用；is和第三人称单数连用；be动词原形，was是is的过去式，句子时态是一般现在时，句中主语是动名词短语keeping healthy, 动名词(短语)作主语, 谓语动词用单数形式。故选B。
（2）考查连词辨析。句意: 许多人想快乐, 但是很少有人知道怎样快乐。but但是；so因此；or或者；although虽然，根据 Most people want to be happy, 和 few know how to be happy 可知这两句之间是表示转折关系, 用连词but。故选A。
（3）考查时态。句意：钱和成功能带来快乐，然而他不会持续时间久。don't last一般现在时；didn't last一般过去式；won't last一般将来时；doesn't want一般现在时，由上下文语境知表示将来, 用一般将来时。故选C。
（4）考查固定搭配。句意：实际上，快乐在于我们自己。our我们的；we我们，主格；ourselves我们自己；us我们，宾格，根据 Money and success can bring pleasure,however, it won't last long. 可知快乐不靠任何东西得靠我们自己，“depend on +反身代词”意为“依靠某人自己”。故选C。

（7）考查语境理解。句意：第二个秘诀是积极活跃。strict严格的；quiet安静的；active积极的，活跃的；nervous紧张的，由下文中的“dancing or playing sports”及“think about the activity you are doing”可知第二条秘诀是积极活跃。active“积极的; 活跃的”。故选C。
（8）考查固定用法。句意：第三条秘诀，帮助他人是保持健康的一个很好的方法。third第三，序数词；three三，基数词，由语境知此处表示第三条秘诀。表示顺序要用序数词, 且序数词前要加定冠词the。故选B。
（9）考查语境理解。句意: 当你对别人做一些好事的时候, 你总是会感到愉快。nothing serious没有严肃的事情；something wrong错事；something nice好的事情，anything else其它的任何事。根据 helping others is a good way to keep healthy. 可知是做好事，故选C。
（10）考查词类辨析。句意：总而言之，学会快乐对你的健康有好处，healthy健康的, 是形容词; health健康, 名词; healthily健康地, 副词。根据your你的，物主代词后需接名词。故选B。

四、阅读理解
4．阅读理解
Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention
of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However,
the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture
camera and over1, 200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school
for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated.
He started experimenting at a young age.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job.
He became a newsboy on train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time.
Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when
he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five
years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting
his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and
hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many
ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He
always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to
sleep and eat.
Thomas Edison died at the age of 84. He left
a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.
（1）How often did Edison make a new invention？

【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
（4）C
（5）D
【知识点】人物传记/故事阅读类
【解析】【分析】短文大意： 爱迪生生于 1847，在84岁时去世。他主要是自学成才。12岁时就开始工作做实验。他的耳朵几乎失聪，但是他依然明天工作16个小时。他一生发明有1200多种，许多发明如电灯、动态图片的照相机等都极大地改善了人们的生活。
（1）细节理解题。根据About every two weeks he created something new.可看出他每两周就有一项新的发明，故选A。
（2）词意猜测题。题根据文中的句子Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well.不幸的是，他的第一份工作结果并不好。 及Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, …(然后爱迪生作为一名电报员工作了五年，…)可推测fire是解雇的意思，故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways.但是他认为耳聋是上帝在许多方面对他的袒护。可看出他认为自己一个耳朵聋了是上帝给自己的礼物，故选B。
（4）细节判断题。根据文中的句子He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours.可看出爱迪生每天只有8小时的休息时间，故A项说法正确；从第二段He attended school for only three months. …, but Thomas was mostly self-educated.看出他仅上了三个月学，但是爱迪生多数时间都是通过自学获得知识的，因此选项B说法也是正确的；由文章最后一句话He left a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.可看出他的发明大大提高了人们的生活水平，故D说法也正确；爱迪生生于1847年，在他12岁时，他获得了第一份工作，所以这一年应该是1859年，而不是1986年，故选C。
（5）主旨大意题。本文通篇介绍了爱迪生的一生，介绍了他的生平，教育以及干的工作、作出的发明等等，故选D。
【点评】考查阅读理解。细节理解题，通过阅读短文，可以直接从阅读材料中找到这类问题的答案。对于推理判断题。注意原文出现的语句不是我们做出的推理判断，而是原文给出的细节信息，所以原文语句不能选。判断对已知的事实仔细评价后做出的合理决定并非唯一决定，要对事实进行合乎情理的判断，有时还需借助常识进行判断。词意猜测题要根据上下文的语境对某个生词做出推测和判断。对于主旨大意题，要根据主题句和文章的中心思想确定。

Farming in the USA today is very different

past. In those days, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs and
chickens to feed their families.
Farmers have a very special life in many
ways. First of all, they can't leave the job at the end of the day. They live
on the farm and there is always work to do. Second, a lot of farm work is
outdoors, so the weather is very important for farmers. A lot of bad weather means farmers will lose
money. Finally, farmers work with plants and animals. They understand nature better
than other people do.
Spring is a time for planting. Farmers are
busy getting the fields ready and then planting the seeds(种子). In summer, farmers must take good care of the plants. Some may
need water. Other plants may have problems with insects or diseases. Then in
fall, the fruits or plants are ready for picking. Winter is a time for rest or for work on the
farm machines.

Farm work changes with the seasons.

（2）结合前文内容 In those days, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs and chickens to feed their families. 在过去，农民们种植水果和蔬菜，并且养殖牛、猪、鸡来养活家人。可知此句是现在农民在农场上种植东西，因此他们可以销售它们。故选E。
（3）根据前文 Second, a lot of farm work is outdoors, so the weather is very important for farmers.第二，农场工作大都在户外，所以天气对农民很重要；这里讲到的是天气因素，故选D。

（6）句意：他把它用来做广告因为房子面对着铁路的弯道。根据两句的关系可知是因果关系，要用连词因为 for/since/as/because，故答案为for/since/as/ because。
（7）句意：火车不得不在拐弯处慢下来，给了旅客足够的时间看这座房子。根据had to slow down 是句子的谓语，可知give是非谓语，和主语是主动关系，要用现在分词，故答案为giving。
（8）句意：幸运的是，一个公司同意放一些广告。修饰整个句子要用副词，luckily，故答案为Luckily。
（9）句意：那位年轻人被付了18万的三年的广告费。the young man和pay是被动关系，根据上下文可知句子的时态是一般过去时，主语是单数，故答案为was paid。
（10）句意：在这个世界上，把不利条件变成有利条件是成功的关键。the key to，某事的关键，to是介词，后跟名词，故答案为success。

（1）细节理解题。根据About every two weeks he created something new.可看出他每两周就有一项新的发明，故选A。
（2）词意猜测题。题根据文中的句子Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well.不幸的是，他的第一份工作结果并不好。 及Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, …(然后爱迪生作为一名电报员工作了五年，…)可推测fire是解雇的意思，故选D。

（4）细节判断题。根据文中的句子He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours.可看出爱迪生每天只有8小时的休息时间，故A项说法正确；从第二段He attended school for only three months. …, but Thomas was mostly self-educated.看出他仅上了三个月学，但是爱迪生多数时间都是通过自学获得知识的，因此选项B说法也是正确的；由文章最后一句话He left a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.可看出他的发明大大提高了人们的生活水平，故D说法也正确；爱迪生生于1847年，在他12岁时，他获得了第一份工作，所以这一年应该是1859年，而不是1986年，故选C。

【点评】考查阅读理解。细节理解题，通过阅读短文，可以直接从阅读材料中找到这类问题的答案。对于推理判断题。注意原文出现的语句不是我们做出的推理判断，而是原文给出的细节信息，所以原文语句不能选。判断对已知的事实仔细评价后做出的合理决定并非唯一决定，要对事实进行合乎情理的判断，有时还需借助常识进行判断。词意猜测题要根据上下文的语境对某个生词做出推测和判断。对于主旨大意题，要根据主题句和文章的中心思想确定。
