参考答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D
【解析】句意:——你父亲昨天写了一封电子邮件吗?——不,他没有。
考查一般疑问句的否定回答。Yesterday表示昨天,句子用一般过去时,本句是地点开头的一般疑问句,其否定回答以no开头,did的否定式为didn’t,故选D。
2. B
【解析】句意:——看!地上有什么?——哦,我的铅笔。请为我把它捡起来。
考查动词短语和语境辨析。pick out挑选出;pick up拾起来。根据前一句铅笔在地上,可知求对方捡起来,短语pick up意为“捡起来”,后面跟代词作宾语时,只能放在up之前,故选B。
3. C
【解析】句意:上周,我们班的学生们决定去博物馆。
考查动词短语用法。decide to go是一般现在时,决定做某事;decide go两个动词不能在一起;decided to go是一般过去时态;decided go两个动词在一起错误。根据句型“decide to do sth.”可知及句首last week可知用过去时态,故选C。
4. A
【解析】句意:我们跑步时,注意到我们的新老师走进餐厅。
考查动词时态和语境搭配。walking现在分词;walks一般现在时第三人称单数;to walk动词不定式;walked一般过去时。notice sb. doing sth.注意到某人正在做某事,根据时间状语从句是过去时态可知表示过去正发生的动作,这里用现在分词walking,故选A。
5. D
【解析】句意:你什么时候完成你的作业?
考查非谓语动词。to do动词不定式;to doing介词to加动名词;do动词原形;doing动名词。固定搭配finish doing sth.完成某事,根据finish可知用动名词作宾语,故选D。
二、完形填空
【解析】本文属于故事阅读。很久以前,有一只饥饿的狐狸正在寻找吃的东西,他非常饿。最后他找到了一棵带有一个洞的大树。饥饿的狐狸认为洞里也许会有食物。他跳进了洞中,当他打开包裹的时候,他看到了许多食物。在狐狸吃完之后。他感到很渴,决定离开洞穴并且喝一些水。结果是因为他吃的太多,身体变粗,而无法出得洞穴。
1. C
句意:很久以前,有一只饥饿的狐狸正在寻找吃的东西,他非常饿。
考查形容词。选项中,A. happy开心的;B. excited激动的,兴奋的;C. hungry饥饿的;D. glad高兴的,结合语境,这只狐狸应该是很饥饿,故选C。
2. A
句意:最后,他到了森林的一边,并且在那儿寻找食物。
考查副词。选项中,A. Finally最终,最后;B. Before在……之前;C. While当……时候;D. After在……之后,结合句子结构可知,此处是一个简单句,而不是从句,而before、while、after均用于引导时间状语从句,故排除,只有finally最为符合题意,故选A。
3. C
句意:他找到了一棵带有一个洞的大树。
考查介词。选项中,A. from从……;B. over在……上方,越过;C. with带有;D. of关于,属于,结合句意可知,此处填入with最为恰当,意为“带有……”,故选C。
4. D
句意:饥饿的狐狸认为洞里也许会有食物。
考查情态动词。选项中,A. shall将;B. will将要;C. can能够;D. might也许。根据文意,狐狸只是发现了这个洞,并没有进去,也就是说,他只是猜测这个洞中会有食物,故填入might最为合适,意为“也许”,故选D。
5. B
句意:他跳进了洞中,当他打开包裹的时候,他看到了许多食物。
考查动词。选项中,A. open为动词原形,打开;B. opened是open的过去式和过去分词;C. opens是open的三单形式;D. opening是open的现在分词。结合文章可知,整个故事采用的是一般过去时态,故动词open应变为过去式opened,故选B。
6. C
句意:当他打开包裹,他看到包裹里面有很多的食物。
考查be动词。选项中,A. is是be动词的单数形式;B. are是be动词的复数形式;C. was是be动词过去式的单数形式;D. were是be动词过去式的复数形式。本文通篇用的一般过去时,故be动词应采用过去式was或者were,而there be结构中,be动词的单复数取决于其后的名词,题干中,there be后面的名词为a lot of food,意为“许多的食物”,是不可数名词,视为单数,故be动词选用was,故选C。
7. D
句意:在狐狸吃完之后。
考查动词。选项中,A. eat为动词原形,吃;B. ate为eat的过去式;C. to eat为动词不定时;D. eating为eat的动名词形式。此题考查finish的用法,finish后接名词、代词或动名词,故应填入eating,故选D。
8. A
句意:他感到很渴,决定离开洞穴并且喝一些水。
考查连词。选项中,A. and并且;B. but但是;C. then然后;D. or或者,结合句子意思,离开洞穴和喝水之间,并没有转折关系,而是并联关系,故选用连词and,而then是一个副词,不可连接两个句子,故选A。
9. B
句意:然而,不论他怎样尝试,他都不能够从洞中出去,你知道为什么吗?
考查特殊疑问词。选项中,A. what什么;B. why为什么;C. who谁;D. how怎样,结合语境,此处填入why最为合适,故选B。

句意:是的,这只狐狸吃得太多以至于他太胖了而不能出洞。
