On Miriam's 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt, who lives in Kenya（肯尼亚）, gave money to a group that cares for elephants to celebrate Miriam's birthday. Then Miriam and her mother visited Africa to learn how the group was helping elephants. Later, Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.
A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a film about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's effort to save them. Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants.
Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve（应得） to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand. She learned how people take a baby elephant, don't give it food or water for days and beat it hard. "It made me really sad. I need to do something useful." Miriam said. Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated（装饰） them. Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants. Kate, Miriam's art teacher, opened her art studio（工作室）to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants. She even gave them the clay." It's great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful. This is what we should all work towards," Kate said. Miriam says she has sold 180 clay elephants worth 2, 000 dollars, and all of that money has been sent to Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.

参考答案：
1．B
【详解】句意：听到一艘自南韩的船在2014年4月16日沉没，我很难过。
考查非谓语动词及介词辨析。hearing现在分词或动名词形式；to hear动词不定式；hears第三人称单数；heard过去式或过去分词。in泛指在上午、下午或晚上；on在具体某一天；at在时间点；for后跟一段时间。第一个空考查句型I’m sorry to hear that…“听说……我很难过”；具体的某一天前用介词on，故选B。
2．B
【详解】句意：你在愚人节开过别人的玩笑吗？
考查固定用法。根据“play jokes on sb.”可知，第一个空格填on，根据“April Fool's Day”指的是“四月一日”，这是具体的一天，故第二个空格用on。故选B。
3．C
【详解】句意：昨天数百人来到镇上观看汽车比赛。本题考查数词hundred的用法。hundred 与具体的数字连用，不加s不加of，若表示不确切的数字既加s也加of。根据句意“昨天数百人来到镇上观看汽车比赛。”可知，C选项符合题意，故答案选C。
4．A
【详解】句意：10点时，没有朋友露面，我意识到它是个骗局，感到十分尴尬。

8．C
【详解】句意：这个村子的桃子非常好吃，到目前为止，它们已被卖完了。

9．A
【详解】句意：我们的英语老师经常邀请我们去她的家里举行聚会。
考查动词时态和介词。invite邀请；invent 发明。由句中出现的often可知，该句用一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，排除B和D。根据句意可知，这里表示“邀请某人去……”，故选A。

20．disappeared
【详解】句意：几百万年前，恐龙灭绝了。appear意为“出现”，是一个动词。根据句意和常识可知，这里说恐龙“消失了”，因此这里应填appear的反义词disappear；由句中的“Millions of years ago”可知，该句应用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填disappeared。

27．词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的句子“She learned how people take a baby elephant, don't give it food or water for days and beat it hard”句子说的是“她了解了人们如何对待一头小象，几天不给它食物或水，然后狠狠地揍它”可推测，小象在泰国被虐待。故选A。
28．推理判断题。根据文中Kate说的话“It's great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful. This is what we should all work towards”可知，Kate很可能为Miriam所做的事情感到骄傲。故选A。

30．范文
An Unlucky Day
Today is an unlucky day. I kept on watching TV last night and didn't go to bed until 12.My alarm didn't go off in the morning. So I got up quite late. And my mother didn't buy me breakfast. I rushed out of the door without breakfast. When I hurried to the bus stop, the bus had already left, so I had to run to school. Luckily, Tom's dad saw me on the street and gave me a lift in his car. When I reached school, I found our teacher had begun class. After I sat down, I realized that I had left my backpack at home. At noon when I got ready to buy lunch, I found that I hadn't taken any money with me. When I got home after school, I couldn't find my key to the door, because I had left it in the desk.
What an unlucky day I had!
【详解】题文解读：本文是话题作文，叙述一天中遇到不开心的事情，题目是“An Unlucky Day”。
写作指导：本文时态主要是一般过去时和过去完成时。叙述事情时，注意表达的顺序，多使用连词，文章具有连贯性，逻辑性。注意句式的变换，尽量使用从句（像时间状语从句、宾语从句、原因状语从句）等高分句型。列出提纲和使用的短语，例如：（1）本文提纲：今天是个倒霉的日子。我昨晚一直看电视，直到12点才睡觉。我的闹钟早上没有响。所以我起得很晚。我妈妈没给我买早餐。我没吃早饭就冲出了门。当我匆忙赶到公共汽车站时，公共汽车已经开走了，所以我不得不跑向学校。幸运的是，汤姆的爸爸在街上看到我，就让我搭他的车。当我到达学校的时候，我发现老师已经开始上课了。坐下来后，我意识到我把背包忘在家里了。中午，当我准备买午饭时，我发现我没有带钱。放学回家时，我找不到开门的钥匙，因为我把钥匙忘在书桌上了。我今天真倒霉！（2）需要使用的短语：keep on/not…until…/go off/run out of/hurry to/give sb. a lift/when/so/after等。写完以后，再读一遍，确保无语法、单词拼写、标点错误等。
