【解析】
1．句意：——这盘菜和看上去一样美味么？——是的。我等不及吃它了。
考查形容词原形。well健康的；good好的；better更好的；best最好的。此处用“as+形容词原级+as…”表达“和……一样”，表达“和看上去一样美味”用as good as。故选B。
句意：——我们队赢得了比赛，我们得了第一名。——做得好，恭喜！
考查动词辨析。A. hit打、击打；B. beat打败；C. won赢得；D. watched观看。根据句意我们队赢得了比赛，我们得了第一名，可知应是win the match赢得比赛，故答案选C。
句意: 为了避免犯错误, 请在回答之前仔细阅读问题。
考查副词词义辨析。careful细心的, 形容词; careless粗心的, 形容词; carefully细心地, 副词; carelessly粗心地, 副词。根据题意, 请在回答之前仔细阅读问题, 可知此处是修饰动词, 应该用副词, 所以可以排除A, B选项, 又因为前文提到为了避免犯错, 可知应是仔细读, carefully符合题意, 故选C。
4．句意：—又一个人被动物园的老虎伤到了。—真遗憾，这对我们来说是一个教训，我们必须认真遵守规章制度。quickly快速地；clearly清晰地；carefully小心地；seriously严肃地。根据题干Another person was hurt by the tiger in the zoo．有一个人被动物园的老虎伤到了，可知这对我们来说是一个教训，我们必须严肃对待规定。考察固定搭配“严肃对待”take sth. seriously故选D。
5．句意:你最喜欢哪种颜色, 紫色、橙色还是粉色
考查副词最高级。 well 好, 副词原级; good 好, 形容词原级; better 较好, 比较级; best 最好,最高级。根据 “purple, orange or pink” 可知比较的对象有三个, 因此是考查副词 well 的最高级,其最高级为 best, 故选 D 。
6．句意: 男孩女孩们, 当你们的父母不在家时, 你们应该照顾好自己。
考查反身代词，himself他自己; herself她自己; yourself你自己; yourselves你们自己。此句主语是you, 根据“Boys and girls”可知此处you指“你们”, 复数, 因此反身代词用复数yourselves，故选D。
句意：钓鱼是像我叔叔这样的中年人最受欢迎的活动之一。
考查形容词最高级。popular受欢迎的；more popular比较受欢迎；the most popular最受欢迎的；根据one of the +最高级“最……之一”，形容词最高级前加冠词the；故选D。
8．句意：当沿着河边散步时，在河的两边你都能看见许多大树。
both都（两者之间）；none都不（三者以上）；either任何一个（两者之间）；all都（三者以上）。根据前文While walking along the river“当沿着河边散步时”，可知，河都是有两边，排除B和D选项。both后接复数名词，either后接单数名词，而原文空格后side是单数名词，所以空格处填either。故选C。
9．句意：英语演讲比赛使她展现出最好的一面．因此，她现在更活跃了．
check out查实，登录，try out试用，选拔，leave out遗漏，省略，bring out使表现出，呈现出，根据句意"英语演讲比赛使她展现出最好的一面．因此，她现在更活跃了"可知，要用"使展现" bring out过去式 brought out，故选D．
10．句意: 在沿着中国的四个海中, 东海是第二深的海洋。序数词+形容词最高级表示“第几最......”这里要表达东海是第二深的海，故用形容词的最高级, 且前有the second, 不用再加the, 故答案为C。

【C篇解析】
B. 细节理解题。根据第一段的"It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world"（它是世界上第一把真正的免用手的伞）可知Nubrella是一种免用手拿的雨伞，故选B。
C. 短语猜测题。根据第二段的"I just noticed a problem and came up with an new idea，"（我刚发现一个问题，想出了一个新主意）以及"The idea for the invention began on one rainy day"（发明的想法始于一个下雨天）可以得知这里是表示发明家在遇到问题后想出了解决方案，猜测带下划线的短语"come up with"是"想出"的意思，故选C。
D. 细节理解题。根据第二段的"The idea for the invention began on one rainy day"（发明的想法始于一个下雨天）可以得知" Nubrella"诞生在于一个雨天，而非一个晴天、有风的一天或是炎热的一天，故选D。
A.细节理解题。根据第三段的"One cool thing about the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a normal umbrella--- you wear it，instead"（关于Nubrella的一件很酷的事情是，你不会像拿一把普通的雨伞一样握着它，而是会穿上它）说明可以通过穿上这把雨伞来使用Nubrella，故选A。
C. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一句“Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free？Alan Kaufman has come up with the "Nubrella"，which means "new" + "umbrella".It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world.”可知你有没有想过要一把能让你的手自由的伞？艾伦考夫曼想出了"纽布雷拉"，意思是"新"+"伞"。这是世界上第一把真正的免提伞。因此这篇文章向读者介绍了一种新型雨伞，包括这种雨伞的神奇之处和发明背景，说明作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉我们一项有用的新发明。故选C.
七、七选五
1. F 2. E 3. C 4. D 5. A
【解析】
空前一句“小镇坐落在山上并且镇上大多数人家很穷。”所以第一个空应该是围绕人们的贫穷来写的，F选项“这些贫穷的人们通常没有钱修建他们的房子”，连接空后一句“结果是，他们的房子让小镇看起来乱糟糟的，很少有人喜欢住在这儿。”，语义通顺，故选F。
关注空后一句的主语是“They”注意代词还原，空后一句的意思是“他们邀请当地的街头艺术家来帮忙粉刷小镇。”以及本段倒数第二句“With the help of the government, they finished a big street art project. ”在政府的帮助下，他们完成了这一项大工程。由此可见，前面的“They”应该指代政府“The government” ，E选项“幸运的是，墨西哥政府决定帮助镇上的人们过上更好的生活”，故选E。
结合空前一句“这个街头艺术家团体的名字叫Germen Crew.”可知第三个空的主语应该是Germen Crew这一街头艺术家团体，C选项“它(Germen Crew)的成员都非常乐意为小镇做些什么。故选C。
空前一句“起初，政府仅仅是想通过这一项目让小镇环境好一些，小镇人民生活改善一些。”空后一句“ 大约452户家庭，总计1808人参加了这个项目。”由此可见，项目的成功超出了预期，D选项“但是他们(政府)没有想到项目竟然如此成功。”符合文意，故选D。
A选项“或者说，这个项目把当地人民紧紧凝聚在了一起。”顺承前一句“ 大约452户家庭，总计1808人参加了这个项目。”而且在文章结尾升华了这个项目对于小镇更加重要的意义。故选A。
