考查短语词义辨析。after all毕竟，终究；in all总共；at all根本，一点也不；above all尤其，首先，最重要的。根据句意他将会任命为今年的优秀军官，因为他聪明，随和，而且最重要是他工作努力。可知，是最重要的意思。故选D。
7．B
【详解】句意：他很有钱，可以买一架飞机。
考查形容词辨析以及enough后置。rich富有的；tall高的。enough修饰形容词时放形容词后面，排除AD；根据“buy a plane”可知可以买飞机，可见很富有。故选B。
8．C
【详解】句意：我认为这次聚会非常成功，我们做得很成功。
考查名词和副词的用法。success成功，名词；successful成功的，形容词；successfully成功地，副词。不定冠词a后加名词，故第一个空填success；第二个空修饰动词did用副词successfully。故选C。
9．D

11．C
【详解】句意：有些人认为在家里给孩子提供一个干净舒适的环境是父母的工作。考查动词和介词辨析题。offer，provide都有“供给、提供”的意思，但用法不同。provide指有远见，为应付意外、紧急情况等作好充分准备而“供给、提供”，可用于provide sb.with sth.或provide sth. for sb.结构。offer则侧重表示“愿意给予”，常用于offer sb. sth.或offer to do sth. 结构，后不能接宾语从句。根据句意结构，可知选C。
12．D
【详解】句意：我不知道如何和贝蒂开始谈话，她坐在那儿一整天什么都没说。考查介词。in a word：总之，一句话；without a word：一言不发；结合句意可知选D。
13．D
【详解】句意：他在旅途中照顾这么多孩子不容易。easy是不可以修饰人的形容词, 即sb.和adj.没有主系表关系，因此，第一个空sb. 前用for。排除A/C。so副词，意思是“如此、这样”，后面常接形容词或副词；such形容词，意思是“如此、这样”，修饰名词，即可接可数名词，也可以接不可数名词。many是形容词，因此用so来修饰。如此多的孩子，用so many children。故选D。
【点睛】It’s + adj. + (of / for) sb to do sth. 译作“(某人)做某事是…的”。It 是形式主语，不定式结构是真正主语。of / for后面的sb是不定式的逻辑主语。
1. 当形容词是可修饰人的形容词，即sb和adj. 有主系表关系时，sb. 前用of。如 It’s clever of you to answer the question so quickly. / It’s kind of you to help me a lot. 这样的形容词有：kind, nice, rude, clever, silly, foolish等。
2. 当形容词是不可以修饰人的形容词，即sb和adj. 没有主系表关系时，sb. 前用for。如 It’s easy for her to clean the window by herself. / It’s important for us to learn English well. 这样的形容词有：easy, hard, difficult, important, necessary, dangerous等。
14．C
【详解】疑问词后接动词不定式。句意“我们不能算出这个物理难题，你能告诉我们怎样算出来”，what可作为do的宾语，动词后不用加it；how不可作为do的宾语，因此后需加代词it，因此选C。

The year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). Dragons are not real animals. Chinese dragons can fly in the sky or swim in the sea. In stories, dragons rule over water, rainfall, wind and flood.
The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of yellow dragons. The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people are proud to call ourselves “the descendants (传人) of the dragon”. A number of Chinese sayings refer to dragons. For example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.
Unlike in China, dragons are seen differently in Western countries. Western dragons often look like dinosaurs. They breathe fire and catch people. It is a common fairy tale about a man who becomes a hero after killing a dragon and saving a princess. In the English movie How to Train Your Dragon (《驯龙记》), a little boy becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons. In one of the Harry Potter stories, Harry Potter has to fight against a scary dragon and get back the golden egg from its nest.
Because of this, some Chinese experts have suggested changing the English word “Dragon” into its pinyin “Long”. They believe the name “Dragon” makes Western people think badly about China. But some don’t agree. They think Chinese people can look after their own culture. Many Western people already know the differences between Chinese dragons and Western ones.
31．Which power of dragons is NOT mentioned in Chinese stories
A．They can fly in the sky. B．They can swim in the sea.
C．They can rule water and wind. D．They can catch and eat people.
32．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A．There are many Chinese sayings about dragons.
B．The Dragon is the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac.

Zheng He, the Columbus (哥伦布) of the East, was an amazing man. He is the most important Chinese adventurer of all time and one of the greatest sailors the world has ever known.
He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao. Eleven years later, a rich young man called Zhu Di caught him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di became the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government and gave him a new name—Zheng He.
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He travelled to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even horses, Zheng He’s fleet (船队) was much smaller than Europeans’ for over 500 years.
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe. It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.

A．e, b, a, f, d, c B．b, a, e, d, c, f C．f, a, b, d, c, e D．b, a, f, e, d, c

We know that there are too many Net bars (网吧) around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them right away. It can help us contact with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. They spend too much time chatting online so they are weak in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we shouldn’t go online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should go online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English Corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
That’s all! Thank you.
