参考答案
1．C
【详解】句意：迈克·史密斯来中国15年了，他结交了许多中国朋友。
考查动词时态。上文“Mike Smith has been in China for fifteen years”是现在完成时，根据and并列成分和时态要一致的原则可知此处也用现在完成时。故选C。
2．B
【详解】句意：每天锻炼使我们健康。
考查动名词和形容词。“锻炼”在句中作主语时应用动名词形式，故第一空应填Doing；“make + sb．+ adj.”是固定结构，意为“使得某人怎么样”，health是名词，healthy是形容词，故后空应填healthy。故选B。
3．B
【详解】句意：这三个外国人中，一个来自伦敦，其余两个来自纽约。
考查代词。other其他的，后常加名词复数；the other两者中的另一个；another三者或三者以上的另一个；some other另外的。此处根据“one is from London...two are from New York.”可知是one...the other“一个……另一个”的用法，故选B。
4．D
【详解】句意：他们在2008年结婚，从2008年开始他们就拥有了幸福的家庭。
考查一般过去时和现在完成时。根据“in2008”可知第一空应用过去时，“结婚”用固定短语get married来表示；根据“have had”可知为现在完成时，从而确定时间状语为“since2008”，“since+过去时间”与现在完成时连用。故选D。
5．C
【详解】句意：当这位女士有空闲时间时，她习惯于在周日去购物。
考查use的用法。used to do sth“过去常常做某事”；be/get used to doing sth“习惯于做某事”，be used to do sth“被用来做某事”。A项用法错误，排除A；因为前句使用过去时态，所以空处要保持时态一致，排除B；表示习惯于周日购物，C项符合语法和语境。故选C。
6．A
【详解】句意：——你有关于你走失狗的消息吗？——还没有，我们还在寻找。考查情景交际。A．Not yet还没有；B．I hope not我希望不会；C．I think so我也这么认为；D．Of course当然可以。根据We are still looking for it.可知狗还没有找到，所以 A选项符合语境，故答案选A。
7．D
【详解】试题分析：句意：—Diana什么时候到达？—哦，她已经到了。她现在在会议室。根据句意：在对话之前，Diana已经到了，而且在会议室。表示在过去某一事件发生的某一动作对现在造成了影响或产生了结果，用现在完成时，故选D。
考点：考查动词时态。
8．A
【详解】句意：——我的英语得了A。——干得不错！
考查情景交际。You’ve done a good job干得不错；It can’t be worse不能更糟了；It’s too good to be wrong这太好了以至于不可能是错的；You’re welcome不客气。根据上句“I have just got an A in English”可知，答句应表达赞赏和肯定。故选A。
9．C
【详解】句意：——我在家已经和我的表妹在电视上看过时装秀了。——你们什么时候看的？
考查动词时态。由前句可知已看过时装秀了，所以问句中的when是指过去的时间，此处应用一般过去时。故选C。
10．D
【详解】句意：——从你家到我们学校有多远？ ——步行约半小时。
考查特殊疑问句。How long多长/多长时间，问事物的长度或对一段时间提问；How often多久一次，提问频率；How much多少，对不可数名词的数量提问；How far多远，提问两地之间的距离。根据答句“About half an hour’s walk”可知，问句是对两地之间的距离提问，应用How far来引导。故选D。
11．B
【详解】句意：自从我们上次见面已经过去五年了。
考查动词时态。“It has been/is+一段时间+since+一般过去时”是固定句型，意为“自……以来有多长时间了”。故选B。
12．D
【详解】句意：——你在这所中学学习多久了？——自从两年前（就来学习了）。
考查特殊疑问词。how long多长；how much多少；how soon多久。答句为“since+一段时间+ ago”结构，相当于“for+一段时间”，排除AB选项，对时间段提问要用疑问词how long。故选D。
13．B
【详解】句意：这套新公寓花了陈先生和陈太太许多钱。
考查动词辨析。spent花费，主语为人；cost花费，主语为物；bought买，主语为人；paid付费，主语为人。主语“The new flat” 是物，故动词应用cost。故选B。
14．C
【详解】句意：每天花尽可能多的时间读英语是个好方法。
考查动名词作宾语。spend time doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“花时间做某事”，使用动名词作宾语。故选C。
15．A
【详解】句意：在海滩上散步是多么美好的时光啊！
考查感叹句。感叹句的句式“what+不定冠词+形容词+单数可数名词+（主谓）”；“what+形容词+复数可数名词+（主谓）”；“what+形容词+不可数名词+（主谓）”；“How+形容词或副词+（主谓）”；根据“great time”是“形容词+名词”结构，可知用what句式，排除C和D；根据“walk at the beach”可知此处time指“具体的时间段”，是可数名词，排除B。故选A。

58．have grown
【详解】句意：——亲爱的妈妈，我已经长大了。请不要再把我当孩子看待了。根据汉语意思可知，此处动词应用现在完成时态，结构是have/has done。主语是I，因此用have grown up，在句中作谓语。故填have；grown。
59．are preparing
【详解】句意：——那是什么声音？——哦，我忘了告诉你。邻居们正在为聚会做准备。根据问句“What’s that noise ”语境可知，空处动作正在进行，故应用现在进行时，构成形式为：be doing，主语“The neighbours”是复数形式，故be用are，prepare的现在分词是preparing。故填are preparing。
60．will feel
【详解】句意：总有一天你会为自己的错误感到抱歉。根据句中时间状语“some day”可知，句子的时态是一般将来时，其谓语动词的构成为will+动词原形，feel意为“感觉”，感官系动词。故填will feel。
61．taught here all their lives a bit bored from time to time
【详解】teach here“在这里教”，此处应为过去分词“taught”，和空格前的助动词have构成现在完成时的谓语；all their lives“（他们）一辈子”；bored“乏味的”，修饰人，在系动词feel后面作表语，a bit bored“有点乏味”； from time to time“时不时”。故填taught here all their lives；a bit bored from time to time。
62．haven’t seen snow for years
