【解析】
21.B
句意：我想去火星(火星)，因为这是一个没有人去过的地方。
根据语境no one 及before可推知a place 应为一个以前并且直到现在没人去过的地方，指对于现在所产生的影响，故定语从句的时态应为现在完成时态（基本结构：主语+have/has+动词的过去分词），has been to是指去过某地，已经回来了；has gone to是指去了某地，还没有回来，此句的意思在于强调火星是一个以前没人去过的地方．故而排除A。故选B。
22.C
句意：来自河北省的两个残疾人（一个是盲人，另一个没有胳膊）已经一起植了十年多的树．
根据spent over ten years____trees together．可知句子考查了spend的用法：spend…on（in doing）sth花费时间做某事，在这里plant是一个动词，词尾应该加ing．故选C。

26.B
句意：上周日我们在盐都公园玩得多开心啊！
how和what都可以引导感叹句，句型是What＋a/an＋形容词＋可数名词或What＋形容词＋可数名词复数（或不可数名词）；How＋形容词/副词或How+形容词+a/an+单数可数名词。fun是不可数名词，结合句意，故选B。

句意：--你的爱好是什么， Diana？

---是的，请。它看起来很可爱，味道很好。
根据语境推测句意是"（披萨）看上去令人愉快，闻起来也不错．"，根据设空处后面的形容词lovely和nice判断分别使用感管动词look和smell，故答案为C。
30.D
句意：---政府正在花大量的钱建设农村。
---我们对政府的努力感到高兴。
take 用于 it takes sb … to do sth 句型，仅指花费时间（three hours 等），必须用 it 作形式主语，指代下文不定式内容；spend 用于 sb spend … on sth 或者 sb spend …（in） doing sth（in 可以省略），spend 的主语必须是人，可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱；cost 用于 sth costs sb sth，主语必须是物，多指花费金钱，少数情况可指花费时间、气力，有时表示成本的消耗；pay 的基本用法是：（1）pay （sb.） money for sth. 付钱(给某人)买…；（2）pay for sth. 付…的钱；（3）pay for sb. 替某人付钱；（4）pay sb.付钱给某人；根据句中的 building the countryside 可知该句应填 spending；构成sb spend…doing sth 的结构；根据句中的系动词 is 可知该句为现在进行时态；be + 现在分词。

阅读理解,阅读短文，选择最佳答案。
Nowadays，more and 'more people realize the importance of having a healthy eating habit.As we know，the daily food we eat affects us in different ways.Sometimes，people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy or not.The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people .learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat.The food guide describes six main food groups：meat （like fish and chicken），dairy （like milk and cheese），grains （like bread and rice），fruit，and vegetables.The last group is fats and sweets.Though this guide was from the US government，it is also very useful for people in other countries.
The result of the study shows that too much animal fat does harm to our health.For example，in the USA，people eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains，fruit and vegetables.As a result，they have a high rate （率） of cancer （癌症） and heart disease.Japanese people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat.The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world.However，when Japanese people move to the US，the rate of heart disease and cancer rises as their eating habit changes.And as hamburgers and other high﹣fat foods become popular in Japan，the rate of heart disease and cancer is rising there as well.People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries，in which the disease rate is rising along with the change of the way people eat.Doctors suggest people eat more grains，fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.
It is important for children to eat healthily as well as their parents.When parents have poor eating habits，their children usually do，too.After all，children eat the same way as their parents.When parents eat healthy food，the children will learn to enjoy it，too.Then they will develop good eating habits easily.

One day a young painter went by this garden.He was attracted （吸引） by the beautiful flowers.Then suddenly he found the old gardener wasn't able to see.
The painter asked in surprise，"Why are you busy looking after these flowers which you can't see？"
The gardener smiled，answering，"I can tell you the reasons.First，I was a gardener when I was young，and I like this job.Second，although I can't see these flowers.I can touch them.Third，I can smell the sweetness of them.As to the last one，that's you."
"Me？But you don't know me."
"Yeah，it's true that I don't know you.I know many people who show enthusiasm （热情） in life would stop by and the beauty of my garden will get them into a good feeling.At the same time，it also gives a chance to me to have a word with you here，and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us."
I believe every flower has eyes with which they can see the kindness of the old man's heart and the sweetness of his soul （灵魂）.He grows flowers in his heart.Although he couldn't see the beauty of blossoming （开花），he surely can hear the voice of it.

1.D
句意：在雨中高速行驶非常危险。
本题考查介词短语的固定搭配，at high speed 意为“高速”，故选D。
2.B
句意：--下月我打算去上海的迪士尼乐园。
--玩的开心．那里有很多美好的事情可以去看去做。
这里考查日常交际用语．根据"I'm going to Disneyland in Shanghai next month．"可知，这里应该表示祝福．A That's all right 没关系； B Have a good time 玩得开心点；C Good luck 祝你好运，用在此处不合适；D I hope so 我希望如此。故答案为B。
3.C
句意:在这样好的天气里去远足是多么有趣啊!
两空都是考查感叹句。感叹句的基本结构:How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其他!What+( a/an)+(形容词)+名词+主语+谓语+其他!How+句子!本题“it is to go hiking in _ weather!”是“主语+谓语+其他”部分;great fun为不可数名词词组，have a fantastic time 是固定搭配，所以本句是由what来引导的感叹句。故选C。
4.C
句意：这座城堡在美妙的焰火下显得美丽，我们都沉浸在它的美丽中。
本题考查单词的用法，look 为连系动词，后接形容词，beautiful是形容词，in its 后接名词，beauty是名词，故选C。
5.C

6.C
句意：----你的奶奶从未去过北京，是吗？
本题考查反意疑问句。反意疑问句通常遵循前肯后否，或前否后肯的原则。根据never从未，可知陈述部分是否定形式，因此疑问部分用肯定形式，has been是现在完成时态，因此用助动词has，人称grandma用she代替。故选C。
7.D
句意：这场足球赛真的非常精彩，我们所有人都感到非常兴奋。
excited 与 exciting 都是形容词，并且都是从 excite 变化而来的。在句子中都可以用作定语或表语，但它们的意思和在句中的用法有差异。 excited 意为兴奋的，一般修饰人；而 exciting 意为令人感到兴奋的，一般修饰物。第一空：修饰物，填exciting；第二空：修饰人，填excited。选D。
8.D
句意：---后天我的父母将带我到上海迪士尼乐园游玩。
---好好玩吧。
本题考查情景交际用语。I'm sorry to hear that 我很抱歉听说这件事。;It's my pleasure 很荣幸;Best wishes to you向你致以最美好的祝愿;Have a good trip 旅行愉快。结合语境“可知诜D
9.C
句意：在这样一个晴朗的天气里冲浪是非常有趣的。
本题考查形容词短语辨析题。great和fine都是形容词，形容词修饰名词;fun趣味，weather天气，两个都是不可数名词，不可用不定冠词修饰，可排除ABD三项。根据句意语境，可知选C。
10.C
句意：---你的爱好是什么，戴安娜？
---嗯，我有很多爱好，比如跳舞、唱歌和水上运动。
for example例如，通常用逗号与后句隔开；常用语于列举两个以内的东西，such as比如；常用语于列举一个以上的东西，instead of而不是；because of因为，根据dancing,singing and playing water sports"跳舞、唱歌和水上运动"可知，应该是"比如"such as.故选C。
