Kelly is a very special student in my class. Her father is an American, and her mother is a Chinese from Hong Kong. Kelly was born in New York and finished elementary school there. Then the family decided to move to Taiwan because Kelly’s father found a new job in Taipei. Kelly could speak only English, but her parents did not send her to a special school for foreign children. They wanted her to study in a regular junior high school and to make friends with the local students.
Kelly has to work very hard at school. English is easy for her, of course. Math is OK, too. But Chinese and history are big headaches for her because she cannot read the books in Chinese. She often comes to me, her English teacher, to ask questions about Chinese and history. She is trying very hard, and I believe she will do well in Taiwan.

参考答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. C
【解析】句意:——你父母昨天上班了吗 ——是的,他们上了。
考查一般疑问句。根据题干可知,原句中含有系动词were,所以其肯定回答是:Yes, 主语+were;否定回答是:No, 主语+weren’t;这里your parents用they来代替,结合选项可知C选项符合题意,故答案选C。
2. C
【解析】句意:——这个周末你愿意和我一起去野餐吗 ——我很想去,但是我有很多事情要做。
考查连词辨析。so所以、因此;or或者;but但是;and和、并且。根据I’d love to, 以及I have a lot of things to do.可知前后句之间转折关系,所以用but连接,故答案选C。
3. D
【解析】句意:十年前这条河里有很多水。
考查there be句型。have有,一般现在时;is是,一般现在时,主语是单数;were 是,一般过去时,主语是复数;was是一般过去时,主语是单数。根据题干可知,本题考查there be句型,根据ten years ago可知句子时态用一般过去时,而且句中的主语water是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数,故答案选D。
4. B
【解析】句意:——谁是你的第一个朋友 ——Lucy。
考查特殊疑问词辨析。What什么;Who谁;When什么时候;Where哪里。根据答语Lucy.可知上文是对人进行提问,所以疑问词用who,故答案选B。
5. D
【解析】句意:——他们什么样?——他们很友好。
考查情景交际。They have long hair他们长着长头发;They were born in a city他们出生在一个城市;They were three years old他们三岁了;They were friendly他们很友好。What be sb. like?可以询问人的外貌,更多的是询问某人的成就,品质,性格等内在的东西。根据were可知句子时态为一般过去时,A选项为一般现在时,时态不符合,排除;B、C选项语意不通,排除;只有D选项符合语境,故答案选D。
二、完形填空
【解析】Bill和父母现在住在中国,每天放学后,Bill都会跟朋友们一起玩,但是每天都会准时回家吃晚饭。但是在Bill生日那天,他的父母却迟迟没有看到他回来。他们赶紧去找,但是没有找到。回来却发现Bill正坐在桌子旁边吃蛋糕呢。
1. B句意:Bill出生在美国,在他5岁的时候,他和他的父母一起搬到了英国。decided决定;moved搬家,移动;entered进入;left离开。根据上句话可知,Bill出生在美国,空后又提到England,因此他是搬家了,故选B。
2. D句意:放学后,他经常和他的朋友们一起玩。for为了,因为;at在具体时刻或地点;on在……上面;with和……一起。play with和某人一起玩,根据句意可知选D。
3. A句意:但是他回家吃饭从来没晚过。gets home到家;go to bed上床睡觉;goes for a walk去散步;gets up起床。根据空后for dinner吃晚饭可知,Bill应该是放学回家吃晚饭,故应选A。
4. C句意:现在是晚上6点半了,是吃晚饭的时间。play玩;lunch午饭;dinner晚饭;bed床。根据空前6:30 pm这个时间可知,这是吃晚饭的时候,故应选C。
5. D句意:Bill的父母等了很长时间,但是Bill没有回来。isn’t不是,一般现在时态;wasn’t不是,一般过去时态;doesn’t不,用于主语是第三人称单数的时候;didn’t是一般过去时态。根据文意可知,这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态,故应选D。
6. B句意:他们很为他担心。shouted大喊;worried担心,焦虑;heard听见,听说;knew知道。根据上文可知,到了吃晚饭的时候,Bill还没有回来,所以父母很为他担心,故应选B。
7. C句意:在大约7点半,他们开始到处寻找他们的儿子。friend 朋友;daughter女儿;son儿子;brother兄弟。根据上文Bill’s parents waited for a long time,but …可知,这句话中的they指代的是Bill的父母,所以Bill是他们的儿子,故选C。
8. A句意:在大约7点半,他们开始到处寻找他们的儿子,但是没有找到他。find 找到,发现;pick挑选,捡;find out查明,发现;pick up拾起,捡起。根据句意和句中的but可知,Bill的父母去寻找Bill,但是没有找到,故应选A。
9. B句意:当他们9点半回到家的时候,他们很惊奇的发现Bill正坐在桌子旁边吃生日蛋糕。“我饿了,妈妈。”strict严格的;hungry饥饿的;friendly友好的;rich富有的。根据上句话… sitting at the table and enjoying the birthday cake可知,Bill在吃蛋糕,所以他是饿了。故选B。
10. A句意:Bill脸上带着微笑问:爸爸,你为什么不来我的卧室和我一起在电视上看足球比赛?watch观看;build修建;look看,看起来;change改变。根据空后the football match on TV可知,在观看足球比赛,故应选A。
