2．C
【详解】句意：——你的姐姐喜欢体育课吗？——不，她讨厌它。love喜欢；hate讨厌。根据No可知她不喜欢体育课，主语she是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为hates。故选C。
3．D
【详解】句意：他的家在学校附近，所以他每天步行上学。walk散步；drive开车。根据His home is near school,可知他家离学校很近，因此步行上学，主语he是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为walks。故选D。
4．A
【详解】句意：——我们必须现在完成工作吗？——不，你们不必。你们可以明天完成它。don't have to不必；mustn’t禁止；shouldn’t不应该；have to必须。Must we……？“我们必须……吗？”否定回答用No, you needn’t或don’t have to。肯定回答用Yes, you must.故选A。
5．B
【详解】句意：她过去踢足球，但是我拉小提琴。play soccer踢足球，play the violin拉小提琴，故选B。
6．insects
【详解】句意：我儿子小时候喜欢看蚂蚁和其他昆虫。根据空前other可知，此空应填名词的复数形式，所给英语提示单词insect的复数形式是规则变化，故填insects。
7． enjoy painting
【详解】句意：他过去常常喜欢画画。根据“used to”可知考查短语used to do sth.，过去常常做某事；enjoy后跟ing形式，表示喜欢做某事，故填enjoy；painting。
8．take
【详解】句意：最后他们不得不坐公共汽车到学校。have/has to，必须、不得不，后加动词原形。故填take。
9．taking

10． Did use
【详解】句意：——你兄弟过去常常玩电脑游戏吗？——不，他从来没玩过。根据回答“No, he didn’t. ”可知，时态应为一般过去式；又因use是实义动词，故用助动词did，故填Did；use。
11．was
【详解】句意：当他年轻的时候生活是很困难的。这是一个复合句，when引导的是时间状语从句，由主句“Life was difficult”以及句意可知，这里说的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时态；主语he是单数，be动词用was。故填was。
12．to have / having
【详解】句意：我讨厌上体育课。你呢？hate to do sth/doing sth讨厌做某事，故此处应用所给动词的不定式或动名词形式。故填to have / having。
13．worried
【详解】句意：今天早上你看起来很担心，你怎么了？worry“使担心”，是一个动词。空前looked意为“看起来”，是一个系动词，后面跟形容词作表语。worried“担心的”，是形容词形式。故答案为worried。
14． play study
【详解】句意：过去放学后我们每天都在玩耍。现在，我们只是一直在学习。第一空考查固定搭配used to do sth.过去常常做某事，所以动词play用原形。第二空根据“Now, ……all the time”可知描述的是现在经常性、习惯性的动作，符合一般现在时。又因为主语为we，所以谓语动词study用原形。故填play；study。
15．wearing
【详解】句意：我不介意每天穿校服。mind doing sth介意做某事，故此处应用所给动词的动名词形式。故填wearing。

【分析】现年14岁的Denies在六岁的时候就写出了一本书，还给这本书配上他亲身画的图画。他的这本书非常的畅销，但是他并不想成为一名作家，他的梦想是当飞行员。
26．细节理解题。根据短文第二段中The colour pictures were drawn by Denies himself可知，Denies的书里的图画是他自己画的，故C是正确的。根据第二段中Denies published the books at the age of six可知A不对；根据But Denies does not want to be a writer可知B不对；根据Because he spent much time writing the books, his study was not very good and he had to learn the year’s work again可知，他只是功课不是很好，不是不想上学，故D不对。
27．细节理解题。根据短文最后一句话He said, ‘I like planes most. I dream of becoming a pilot someday可知，Denies最喜欢飞机，由此可知应选D。
