参考答案
1．C
【详解】句意：——露西刚才说了什么？——对不起，我没听到。我正在接电话。
考查动词时态。第一句根据“just now”可知是一般过去时，say是实义动词，助动词用did，同时动词用原形；第二空是指刚才自己正在接电话，应用过去进行时，故选C。
2．C
【详解】句意：三班的男生昨天早上9点钟正在上数学课。
考查过去进行时。根据“at nine o’clock yesterday morning”可知，该动作发生在昨天上午9点钟，是过去的具体时刻，应使用过去进行时。过去进行时的结构为was/were + doing。主语the boys为复数，应使用were。上数学课的表达为have a maths class，have应变为having。故选C。
3．A
【详解】句意：——你喜欢这本书吗？——不。书里面没有什么有趣的。我只读了两页。
考查复合不定代词以及形容词的位置。形容词修饰复合不定代词时，位于代词的后面，排除C和D选项。nothing没什么事；something某事。根据“No”可知，书里面没有什么有趣的，所以不喜欢它，故选A。
4．D
【详解】句意：——这些橘子是做什么用的？——做橙汁。
考查介词辨析。from从……；to到；in在……里面；for为了。根据“To make juice.”可知，此处是问橘子是做什么用的，表目的，用for。故选D。
5．B
【详解】句意：这本书里没有图画和故事，所以小男孩不喜欢它。
考查连词和介词辨析。and和；or或；with有；without没有。根据“no”可知，句子指否定句，“pictures”和“stories ”之间是并列关系，所以用or连接。故选B。
6．D
【详解】句意：——小心！一辆卡车过来了！——哦，谢谢。我没注意到。我刚才在想一个问题。
考查时态。根据“ I was thinking about a question.”和“ that”可知说的是刚刚没有注意到卡车，notice动作发生在过去，用一般过去时。故选D。
7．B
【详解】句意：书架太高了，我够不着上面的书。
考查动词辨析。find找到；reach到达，能伸到（及物动词，后直接跟宾语）；arrive到达（不及物动词，需搭配介词in/at）；land着陆。根据“The bookshelf is so high”可知书架太高了因此我够不着上面的书，即“能伸到”。故选B。
8．D
【详解】句意：桃子在树上，鸟儿也在树上。
考查介词辨析。on上面；in里面。长在树上的花、叶、果实等用on the tree；而外来的人或物在树上用in the tree，结合题目可知，桃子是长在树上的，所以第一空介词用on，排除选项A和C；而鸟儿是外来之物，所以第二空介词用in。故选D。
9．B
【详解】句意：——你认为你的老师怎么样？——他友好但严格。
考查动词短语。think of认为；think about考虑。根据“He is friendly but strict.”可知，此处询问对老师的看法，所以使用think of。时态为一般现在时，助动词do后用动词原形。故选B。
10．A
【详解】句意：—— 嘿，彼得。你现在想和我们一起出去吃饭吗？——对不起，我必须和我的小妹妹呆在一起，直到我父母回来。

12．D
【详解】句意：我不确定汤姆明天能不能去上学。
考查宾语从句连接词。when什么时候；while在……期间；until直到；whether是否。根据“I’m not sure...”可知句子是宾语从句，而while和until不引导宾语从句，排除BC；根据“I’m not sure...Tom can go to school tomorrow”可知是不确定明天是否去上学，用whether引导宾语从句。故选D。
13．C
【详解】句意：——昨天晚上9点你在干什么？我按了电话，但没人接。——当时我正在洗澡。

Hello, everyone! I feel honored to share the story of Yu Gong with you.
Once upon a time, there lived an old man called Yu Gong. There were two mountains near his house. They were so big that it took a long time to walk to the other side. To solve this problem, Yu Gong told his family that he wanted to move the mountains and he needed their help. All his family members agreed so they started digging the next day. They worked day after day, night after night. One day, when a man saw Yu Gong and his family working, he said it was impossible for Yu Gong to move the mountains because he was old and weak. But Yu Gong said his family could continue doing it after he died. Yu Gong’s spirit moved the God so he sent two gods to take the mountains away. Seeing this, all the family members jumped with joy.
This story tells us we never know what is possible unless we try to make it happen. Besides, if we have a big dream, we should try our best to make it come true. That’s the story of Yu Gong. Hope you enjoy it!
